International Public Notice: The Key Importance of Jurisdiction

 By Anna Von Reitz

Jurisdiction roughly translates to "the right to speak to an issue".  

To have jurisdiction means to have authority to address and decide issues; if you don't have authority to address a person or a topic, you are barred from doing so.  

It is a fine knife-edge to tread in some cases, but normally, jurisdiction is cut and dried.  

Land law applies on land.  

Sea law applies on the sea. 

Air law applies to air assets. 

This was always the case for thousands of years, even before the creation of Pope Boniface's Unam Sanctam Trust in 1302.  After that, the rules applying to these separate jurisdictions and their separate systems of law simply became more organized and codified.

Land law naturally applies to landsmen and physical assets of all kinds, including the land itself, and its natural resources. 

Sea law applies to ships, sailors, cargoes, and navies. 

Air law applies to spirits and energies and ideas, therefore to patents and copyrights, trademarks, concepts, designs, and later,  corporations and "professional" performances.  

For centuries, land law was practiced in land jurisdiction courts by Lawyers.  

Sea law was practiced in special courts by Attorneys. 

Air law was practiced in other special courts by Magistrates and Clerics.  

Everything was tidy and obvious, no big mysteries about how life and law were organized, and then, as usual, Britain and Rome "started something" and landed both at the bottom of the jurisdictional dog pile and train wreck we face today.  

The problem started when the Protestant William of Orange was imported to act as the King of England following the beheading of Charles II and the grimy administration of Oliver Cromwell.  This started the practice of Germans ruling over England and Scotland. 

And when Queen Mary came to the throne, things really got interesting.  

Queen Mary vacated the Throne of England and the then-new Constitutions and the land jurisdiction of England in favor of serving as the Monarch standing over a maritime commercial company dubbed "Great Britain".  

She stopped operating as the Queen of England and started operating as the British Monarch, instead.  She changed the jurisdiction, and in doing so, she changed the law.  She evaded the pesky British Constitution and deprived the people of the protections and limitations set forth by the Social Contract. 

So long as the people didn't know what Queen Mary did, how she was evading the "constitutional" part of "Constitutional Monarchy", all was well.  Or so a long line of Successors to Queen Mary, culminating with Charles III, have thought.  

The Pitchfork Brigades could simply be left in the dark and the dust, assuming that they had a Constitutional Monarchy -- back on the land; but the Monarch would go to sea and stay there, and by so doing, each subsequent Monarch evaded the Constitution, and Subjected the British People under a completely different law, the Maritime Law of the Sea, instead.  

When you change the jurisdiction, you change the law.  The Constitution no longer applies.  People are no longer people, they are "persons", instead.  They are no longer English Nationals, they are British Subjects and British Citizens, instead.

This Substitution Fraud happened over three hundred years ago, and to be fair, Queen Mary probably never knew what happened.  She was, by all accounts, more interested in bon-bons than affairs of state and probably just signed whatever the members of the Privy Council fed to her.  

Who could imagine the strange repeat of history?  The long shadows from the reign of Charles II have come home to roost during the reign of Charles III.  

The English and Scottish people are just waking up from a bad dream and realizing that they have already paid through the nose and ten times over, realizing that they have been cheated by their own leaders and representatives, left holding the bag for three centuries of self-interested "lawfare" and misrepresentation. Three centuries during which the British Constitution has been nothing but a shell placating the nation, but in fact, being skillfully evaded by people who were little more than German mercenary invaders. 

Makes sense now, doesn't it?  The layers and layers of taxes and "administrative units" and "councils" and "districts" and so on, all having nothing to do with traditional English or Scottish government. 

All the voracious, incompetent, unjust courts.  The venal politicians. 

WWI -- Fight among two groups of German Mercenaries. 

WWII -- Fight among two groups of German Mercenaries. 

Never had anything to do with freedom, or a fight against evil that they did not create with malice aforethought.  It had nothing to do with paganism versus Christianity.  It had nothing to do with the people of "Great Britain".  

It didn't even have anything to do with the people of Germany. 

We were all already erased, impersonated, enfranchised, and if we let them pull any more fraud schemes on us, we will be emancipated next --- but not meaning what you might suppose. 

That's our next International Public Notice.

Granna Bytes: A Word to INAC Assemblies Around the World

 By Anna Von Reitz

The best way to start is with your own history.  

We just discovered that an insurance company foreclosed on the Australian Territorial Government in 1907 and took over the administration of the Australian Government at the Territorial level without telling anyone.  

The Great White Fleet (Inc.) was a mercenary service when it sailed into Australian waters and harbors, not a peace mission.  Franklin Delano Roosevelt sent the battleships painted white on a debt collection mission.  

The Great White Fleet liberally "mistook" all the living people of Australia for British Subjects and Territorial Persons, and used the resulting confusion to impose upon and presume upon the lawful Australian Government and People -- gratuitously redefining them as "Debtors" owing debts they never owed. 

The details are different, but the method is the same.  Foist off the debts of British Territorial Corporations onto Third Parties, then used Roman Municipal Corporation franchises to act as the "Muscle" and enforce debt collections.  

Nobody ever seems to notice that the people being misidentified and imposed upon and merely "presumed" to be debtors, are instead the preferential creditors of the scum.  

They have been working this two-handed aggravated identity theft scheme for over a hundred years throughout most of the known world, and you'd better believe that the Principals involved are responsible for this.  

Take a look at your own country's history.  All western nations have been impacted by this gradually spreading cancer of corruption, and many eastern countries, too, have fallen victim to these secretive and insidious corporations.  

If you look back far enough you will discover the traditional ways and means your ancestors used to organize their culture, how they viewed nature, how they secured justice and security for themselves. 

And you.  

The land jurisdiction of your forefathers still exists; you never knowingly or willingly left it. Being fraudulently misidentified as a foreign person in your own country doesn't change that. 

Refute the foreign citizenship status that these self-interested corporations have foisted off on you.  Object to the British Crown copyright these snakes took to your Given Name.  Bring claim and bring outrage and most of all, bring certainty about who you are and what you are owed.

Coordinator Training Program Launching

 By Anna Von Reitz

We are very pleased that we have a new Coordinator Training Program in the works and scanning its launch checklist.  

Lisa Schaffer, with many years of teaching experience and a stellar performance as the former Ohio Coordinator, will be leading the effort to train a whole new generation of volunteers who are either inheriting the torch or who will be adding to a Coordinator Team.  

Many of you have been attending our Coordinator Training calls and getting questions answered each week.  This is your chance to step up and take it to the next level.  Those who take this training and pass their basic background checks will be fully prepared to help your State of the Union organize and thrive! 

Our tradition up to this point has been a rough road with few signposts through a wilderness of functions and questions and processes. Our early volunteers didn't have the benefit of anyone who had done it before, because their predecessors, the Circuit Riders, were all dead and gone.  Even many of the records and instructions were lost.  

We are now at the point where at least a few Assemblies are at or nearing the completion of their State Assembly pillars and are functioning as our ancestors envisioned. A few, Ohio among them, are at the point where they can look back and say -- we did it! 

They are ready to start sharing the insights of their experience with other States and their Coordinators are now ready to help other Coordinators and Coordinator Teams succeed. 

Training starts this Friday, February 20th 2025, 10 AM, and can accommodate 100 students. Playbacks will be available for those who can't make Friday morning sessions.  

This training is highly recommended for everyone, both experienced and inexperienced volunteers contemplating the rigors of being a Coordinator for their State. 

I, for one, am very grateful that we now have a core cadre of experienced State Coordinators, people who have faced the nuts and bolts of building a State Assembly in the modern era, and having hacked their way into the future and having overcome a 160 year silence, stand ready to help others do the same.

Granna Bytes: For All Assemblies About Committees and Decorum Guidelines

 By Anna Von Reitz

Recently, people have been complaining about having to sign "contracts" compelling good behavior in our public meetings.  This should not even be a question.  

Public meetings are customarily conducted under rules of decorum, so that the attendees are not imposed upon or forced to waste their time listening to random diatribes and non-agenda discussion items. 

Public meeting decorum rules are not anything controversial. Don't let any paranoid spoilers pretend that they are.  The rules are there to safeguard your time as a group.  Make use of them to reach the goal of short (preferably an hour or less) productive meetings. 

Experience has proven that shorter meetings are more productive. They force people to move things along and stay on topic and everyone enjoys the sense of getting important things decided and in motion. If absolutely needed, individual meetings can be extended by a vote, or if it is more convenient, a second meeting can be scheduled for later in the same week.  

The idea here is that meetings are work sessions -- time set aside from our busy lives to consider questions and make decisions for the betterment of our lives and our communities.

The Decorum Agreements are not contracts --- an agreement is not a contract, but aside from that important distinction, we understand the once-burned twice-shy reluctance to sign anything after what we have all been through, and signatures are not needed.   

I recommend that the decorum rules adopted by the Assemblies be posted as an entry page and in the chat room of all discussion forums and given to all new members as part of their orientation package.  That way they have been given notice of the rules and have no cause to object or be offended if they ignore the rules and are muted or removed from a meeting. 

Some people think that their right to come to a public meeting and rant on some off-topic subject that wasn't on the agenda supersedes the equal right of all the other people to get work done in the Public Interest.  It does not.  

We all have the right to speak our minds freely and to be heard; but our individual right is no more special than the rights of others to speak and organize their time and direct their efforts toward specific agenda topics important to the group as a whole.  

Instructions on how to get issues on the Agenda should be given to everyone as part of their Orientation package.  If a topic is especially urgent, such as a looming emergency, the agenda can always be temporarily set aside if the group is amenable.  

Remember the LaVera Adage: "My rights end where another person's rights begin."  We all have rights. Learning to respect the equal rights of others is an essential part of self-governance. Good decorum standards reflect this truth and help people learn it in a practical way. 

Moving on to the issue of Committees.  There has been an unfortunate misunderstanding to the effect that Coordinators have to call Committee Meetings or have to be present at Committee Meetings.  This is absurd.  No Coordinator could possibly meet this additional demand on their time. 

Committees are the traditional way that Americans get the work of the government accomplished.  They may be "Standing Committees" which are needed to organize work and processes on a continuing basis, or they may be "Special Committees" devoted to researching individual topics or addressing temporary needs, but all Committees are designed to function in a quasi-independent manner.  

Let's go through the process of forming committees --- again.  

At a General Assembly Meeting the Coordinator or Chairperson announces the formation of a Committee, say, the Elections Committee.  Volunteers are asked for and noted down.  The Elections Committee is now formed.  

A time and date (and if physical, a place) is established for the first meeting.  At the first meeting a chairperson is selected by the volunteers from among the volunteers.  The members select a day and time for their meetings and how often they will meet.  Details of their meeting forum are established --- will they meet at Nellie's Downtown Diner, every other Tuesday, at 4 PM, or will they meet on Zoom as a teleconference every first Monday of the month at 6 PM.  

You will shortly see that some Committees are far more active than others.  Research Committees tend to be very active for a relatively short period of time, while most Standing Committees only come into play when their services are needed or when a process requires their attention.  

As Committees fade in and out of action, they post their weekly or bi-monthly or monthly meeting times ahead of the General Assembly meetings so that members who are interested can attend their Committee Meeting.  Committee Meetings are not closed, not private, and not secret.  

As they publish their meeting schedules and particulars ahead of the General Assembly Meeting, they also give a very brief summation of what they are currently working on.  

For example: 

Elections Committee: 7 PM on Tuesday, November 14th, via Zoom teleconference link: (link info).  We will be discussing updating and maintaining eligible voter records and polling place security.  

Rio Grande Rehabilitation Committee: 1 PM on Saturday, November 6th, First Episcopalian Church basement, 112 Sunset View Drive, Sedona, Arizona, public event, education, diorama, bbq.  Bring the kids! 

Ombudsman Committee: Thursday, November 9th, 7PM, via video FreeConference: (Meeting access codes, etc.). Our meeting will host Darren Pilsner, Professional Arbitration Specialist from A &E Arbitration Services, presenting "The Basics of Civil Arbitration". 

Outreach Committee: Friday, November 10th, 7 PM Community Meet and Greet at the Historic Emmler Fire Department, 1915 Butte Street, Emmler, Arizona. Featuring "On the Road in America", famous American monologues on stage, plus multimedia documentary, suitable for all ages.  

Above are examples of the kinds of Committee news that should develop over time.  As you can see, both Standing and Special Committees are represented.  The Committee Meetings and Events are shared with all the members via postings.  Coordinators participate as they can and check in with Committee Chairs to answer questions and assist if needed. 

At least once a year, Committees report to the General Assembly.  Some Committees may report monthly or even weekly.  It just depends on the work and functions of each committee how often they present before the General Assembly. 

The Treasury Committee might give a very brief report at each meeting, and a much more complete End of the Year report, while the Banking Committee might report once per quarter.  

Each Assembly is in the process of growing and refining so there is no set order being imposed in terms of what committees are needed first, but there is no doubt that Committees are needed and volunteers for Committees are needed. 

And no, Coordinators do not preside over Committee Meetings or need to be present for Committees to conduct business and get work done. That would be an unreasonable control over Committees and an unreasonable amount of work for our Coordinators.
