Granna Bytes: The Four Big Lies

 By Anna Von Reitz

There's a famous country western song by Tom T. Hall that most of us know as "Faster Horses" -- which isn't the official name, but you know how things go in this world.  People remember what they remember. 

The lyrics of this song are simple and they express the Four Big Lies very succinctly, as the old cowboy opines that the meaning of life can be summed up as: "Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, and more money". 

The Four Big Lies are the foundational tenets of a religion we call "Consumerism" but which used to be recognized as the Cult of Baal.

Here are the Four Big Lies: 

(1) You cease to exist and don't really matter because your body wears out and dies. 
(2) Sex has no spiritual or emotional consequence. 
(3) Money is something more than a value-added commodity. 
(4) Time exists in some other form besides the current moment. 

Once people accept these Four Big Lies and mistake them for truth, these False Presumptions govern their behavior and dictate their values and determine, if possible, the course of their lives.  

The Four Big Lies put us on a treadmill, and most people never get off. 

These lies foster a reckless, unaccountable, hedonistic, and alienated attitude --- a way of life based on "Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we will die." 

Life itself is reduced to a hamster wheel. We keep on keeping on, constantly busy and trying to earn or otherwise obtain something we don't have, often without even putting the "don't have" into words, questioning why we don't have it, or asking if we really need or want the "it" we are striving for.  

Whatever it is, we don't have it.  "It" becomes the Obscure Object of Desire. 

Social standing.  Security.  A new Lexus. Future peace. Bigger boobs. A dirt bike.  An election.  A "Golden Years" retirement.  Whatever "It" is, and whether or not we can buy it....we're on that treadmill.   

People do bizarre things under the influence of these Big Lies.  

They may fall into the trap of actually trying to figure out the faster horses and betting on them, without asking why anyone needs a faster horse?   

They may discard a loyal wife for an uncaring teenager without questioning their choice.  

They may pay a premium price for older whiskey, and forget about buying the school supplies.  

Having amassed a huge fortune, they may go on amassing more and more and more and never ask why?  

They may get so caught up in the chase after money, that they forget to live their own lives. 

If we don't analyze the faulty ideas and beliefs we are picking up from the society we live in, we can easily inherit the mindset of a greyhound (or chihuahua) eternally chasing a fake rabbit.  

The only ones who benefit from this are the merchants.  

When we believe and act upon the Four Big Lies, the merchants among us benefit, and that, more than anything, is why the Four Big Lies exist.  These Lies are good for business. 

People caught up in consumerism buy all sorts of things they don't really use or want or need, and end up like Steve Jobs asking, who am I and what did I ever choose to do with my life?  

People caught up in Consumerism will always want something more that the merchants can sell to them.  From the merchant's point of view, that's the beauty of it. 

The emptiness that Consumerism breeds never ends, because you never have enough of something.  If you have the time, you don't have the money. 

People look back and dimly realize that someone or something snookered them out of their own lives and filled their landfills....but they can't quite put their finger on it.  

In the grip of Consumerism, people shop for mates like they are shopping for a used car.  They judge their worth by their bank account and think that everyone else does the same.  They give away their bodies in meaningless sex acts, then complain when they get sexually transmitted diseases and wonder why their partners disrespect them.  They think they are unaccountable and, in a sense, unimportant, because life ends. 

People caught up in the Four Big Lies value things because "everyone else" appears to value them, because there is competition to possess these things, and they never step back and ask--- why?  

What's propelling these bizarre assumptions and behaviors?  

The Four Big Lies, unexamined, unquestioned, absorbed like lead paint in the dawn of our lives.  

Whatever age you are as you are reading this --- stop and consider.
Does the finite nature of life make it more or less valuable?  What can you have, without it?  When you are on your deathbed, what will still make you smile?

International Public Notice: Summation

 By Anna Von Reitz

I am nearing the end of my knock-down drag out work in the Air Jurisdiction and am emerging victorious.  This has not been pleasant, but it was fore-ordained.  

Compare it to mucking out an old and long-disused and musty attic closet full of ancient clothes from a bygone era and odd artifacts that are vaguely distasteful, withered leather gloves, old shoes stiff with age, and yellowed papers written in another century by people you don't know ---- all on a hot muggy summer day, when the "old" smell is all-but overwhelming and the heat and dust combine to make the atmosphere even more claustrophobic than the attic space itself. 

It seems like such a job takes forever, like the closet will never be clean again, yet you plug along and sort and toss and drag out the garbage, and mop and scrub and air it all out, until finally, it's done: the past is cleaned out of your house and the sunshine slants into the bare closet as you drench the floor in salt and lavender flowers, light a candle, and after an hour of silence, shut the door.  

Now, those who have been watching, with their Shinola Sensors on High, and those who have sharp Guardian Angels, will remember seeing some very odd things the past few years.  

Remember those inexplicable Joe Biden and Pope Francis video interviews, where it looked exactly like they had a seam around the base of their necks?  Like Frankenstein? 

Listen to this and understand: 


There's a reason Queen Elizabeth II kept all those Corgiis. 

Be aware that Troy, one of the greatest trading empires ever, was in Turkey and that Turkey ("Anatolia") was the Motherland of the Antediluvian Era.  This is where Noah's Ark touched down and where the repopulation of the known world started out.  Be aware that Turkey is the home of the Byzantine Empire.  Constantinople. 

Turkey is, quietly, one of the great crossroads of the world. 

Stretching out north and westward from Turkey you encounter the ancient peoples of Eastern Europe, Macedonia and the fortunes of Alexander the Great, and the Dacian Empire underlying the foundations of Rome.  Tartaria.  Croatia, the land that gave us Nikola Tesla.  The pyramids of Bosnia.  And so much more. 

Stretching eastward and southward, we have the Levant, and what eventually became the Holy Land, the immense power of Persia, the lands of the Sumerians, Hittites, and Assyrians,  the trade routes that would lead to China and the Empires of the East, the Secret of the Flame guarded by the Zoroastrians, the mysteries of Tibet, the riches of India and all of Egypt and Africa.  

Until the unearthing of Gobekli Tepe, nobody talked about Turkey, except for certain circumspect dons at Oxford University, and there is a reason for that.  

Turkey, the navel and womb of the Western World, has been hidden in plain sight, because they have been ruling the Earth for thousands of years, through one family in particular, and a professional bureaucracy that has dominated every kingdom and corporatocracy on Earth. 

They may not speak the Turkish language or wear turbans or beards or flowing robes.  They may not be Muslim or Orthodox. They may not have dark skin or dark eyes.  Look deeper.  They flow like an undercurrent, seamlessly fitting in, part of every population, every social strata.  They will never tell you this.  You will have to notice it for yourselves. 

This is not new news. This was known to the Ancient Sumerians: 

Now I have some additional insight for everyone.  The last member of the Ruling Family and head of that most ancient bureaucracy, a man known to the world as Demetrius Julius Shiva, died without an heir.  

Some clueless beings have assumed that this sad circumstance means that they can step in and act as False Trustees and commandeer the Heir's assets, just as they have tried to do with Saint Germain's. 

Instead, this circumstance sets in motion an ancient and predetermined sequence of signals and events that cannot be stopped or altered, a fateful mechanism that is out of human hands.  This is happening in tandem with other known mechanisms and stages of development which the Sumerians also foretold: 


Don't suppose that this is a matter of divination on their part. The Sumerians were aware that time does not exist, so between what the Anunnaki told them and their own experience, they were able to discern future events even if they lacked the specific vocabulary to describe them.  

The world now has a simple choice.  Each of you has free will. 

If you are part of the Rat Race, stop doing what you are doing, and accept the mercy and compassion and freedom that this moment offers humanity. 

Grow up.  Accept your own responsibility for your lives, align with what is true, learn to love each other, warts and all, or the "carriers" will come -- indeed, they are already here -- and my closet cleaning exercise will extend worldwide. 

I don't want it to be that way.  Julius never wanted it to be that way. 

Shut down the data center madness and the 6G craziness and the cutthroat reckless AI development trajectory.  

You have eternity to develop these and hundreds of other worthy technologies. You can develop them cooperatively and profit more from doing so, if you just use the brains the True God gave you and stop being deluded about time, sex, death, and money.  

Four things.  Four Big Lies. 

That is all that is standing between humanity and Heaven on Earth. 

Though some of you don't realize it yet, you each have all the money and resources that you need to enjoy peace and joy like you can't even imagine.  So choose life.  

Open your hearts and minds and your arms, too. Welcome the new pathway opening up for you.  Find your own Happy Place hiding within your own mind and heart.  Let your joy run wild and free.  Believe in what you cannot see. 

And give thanks.  

(PS.  Yes, I am a Badass.  Unapologetic, too.  But this is not about me. It is about you.)

International Public Notice: Exactly How We've Been Defrauded - the Mechanism

 By Anna Von Reitz

Stop a moment and notice something about yourselves. 

Even if you can perceive something, directly or by instrumentation, if you can't measure it, you tick off a little box somewhere that says, "It's beyond me." and you go on about your business.  

The number of visible stars in the sky?  You can see, but you can't measure, so..... you ignore the number of stars, and in a way, you ignore the question.  It's there, waiting until a means to form an answer appears, but even though you are aware of the question, it leaves your area of active concern

Maybe someday, oh, well, let's table that and go on to something else we can measure.  

This makes perfect sense, when you consider that on some very basic levels, we are --- whether we like this or not --- biological computers, and computers are designed to do what?  Compute.  Measure.  Number. Name.  Identify.  Evaluate.  

The point is, that if something is too vast for us to compute we have a design prejudice against it, and ignore it, even though we know it's there.  This is, in essence, part of our operating system.

The same thing happens when we tell you, forthrightly, that time does not exist.  

This challenging concept bounces right off with a hint of discomfort, and most people won't struggle with it long enough to realize that it's true.  

Consider that this fleeting present moment we call "now" is the alpha and omega, the end of whatever came before, and the beginning of what comes after.   

There is, literally, no other moment, no other time.

Any "now moment" can give birth to any one of an infinity of futures, but the immensity of this truth and the crushing responsibility that goes with it, bounces right off our brain case and slides into oblivion.

It's too vast, too difficult, we aren't equipped to measure or evaluate or choose alternatives on that scale, so.... our design prejudice comes to our rescue.  

This design prejudice against very large numbers and things we can't measure is, in some ways, a good thing.  It keeps us from seizing up and getting into a feedback loop, "the blue screen of death", that would otherwise be endlessly trying to calculate and measure things we can't calculate or measure. 

However, there' s a dark side to our design prejudice and it can lead us into False Perception when we inadvertently give ourselves the means to measure something that isn't really there. 

Let's see where our perception of time comes from, even though it doesn't exist. 

It comes from the moon.  We can look up and observe the passing cycles of the moon and measure this phenomenon, so we do.  

This cyclic phenomenon meets our "something to measure" requirement, and it's within our ability to quantify and observe the cycles of the moon phases, but.... though we can number (count) the cycles and recognize the markers (new, waxing, full, waning) and even connect these to the changing of the seasons....and the changing of our bodies..... and the changing externalities of our world, does any of this justify the presumption that "time" exists?  

No, not really.   Time is a back door presumption, a glitsch in our logic circuits, something that works its way into our minds without sufficient evaluation and takes up position as a "given" part of our reality.   

The moon cycles exist.  The seasons exist.  The cycle of the year exists.  Our life cycle exists.  All these cycles exist and they are "inter-relatable".  On top of these periodic cycles, unique events happen within those cycles:  Billy Joel turns 80 and London Bridge gets reassembled in a desert and the Raiders win the playoffs.  

That's where our need for a cataloguing system arises and with it, our need to define "time" as the thing that connects three moon cycles to one season, 100 years to a lifetime, twelve moon cycles to a cycle of the seasons.... and we arbitrarily give that completed cycle of seasons a separate name: one "year" ---and then we talk about it as if this were something other than and independent from our own name for a completed cycle of seasons. 

Having integrated that much, we follow up with more names for more things that we can arbitrarily define and measure: seconds, minutes, hours.... 

Are we really measuring time, or are we measuring "clicks" on an atomic clock, and then naming groups of clicks?    Sixty clicks equals a minute.  Sixty minutes equals an hour.  Twenty-four hours equals a day. 

Do clicks and cycles create "time"?  Or is our predilection for naming, measuring, numbering, defining and counting getting the better of our brains--- again?  

We aren't really measuring "time"; we are measuring cycles and clicks, but we forget that.  

We allow ourselves to sink into the delusion that something else, something we arbitrarily call "time", exists. 

The same thing has happened with the concept of "money". 

Gold exists and has value in the marketplace.  So does silver, platinum, copper, key limes and coffee beans.  All these things exist and they all have value.  

But does "money" exist, simply because we take a lump of gold, measure a quantity of it, stamp an image on it, and give it a name?

The only difference between "money" and "gold" in a gold asset-based monetary system,  is the time we spend assaying gold's purity, measuring it, forming it into coins and stamping it.  

"Money" is a value-added gold product.  It's convenient to use in transactions because its quality (assay) and quantity (weight) are known, and guaranteed by the mint and government issuing it, but it's still just a lump of gold. 

We forget that.  

We start thinking that "money" is something separate, something exceptional and different and almost magical, because we gave it a different name and quantified it so you can easily exchange a known quality and quantity of it for kumquats or new tires. 

When you take this process into the next level of abstraction the delusional nature of our thinking about money becomes more self-evident: you print up a piece of engraved paper, and pretend that it "represents" gold or silver.  

Really?  

Most people innocently call this "money" too, even though it isn't a value-added gold or silver product at all.  It's something else. 

In the first stage of this representational delusion, gold coins are substituted for by "certificates".  These paper certificates function as warehouse receipts.  

In theory, you can take this certificate to a warehouse ("bank" or "treasury"), present the certificate, and receive the amount of gold or silver printed on the face of the piece of paper in exchange. 

In reality, people skip this exchange process and just start trading the pieces of paper back and forth, and they consider the certificates "as good as gold" because they could, in theory, go exchange them for gold and trade gold directly.  

Notice the words, "in theory". 

Hardly anyone ever bothered to go trot down to the bank or treasury window and actually exchange the certificates for coins, but they could.  In theory.  

Those intent on "streamlining commerce" take the next step by limiting who can exchange gold certificates for actual gold coins; what started off with Joe Average being able to exchange his certificates at a local bank ends with only those who have licenses and Federal Reserve Accounts or U.S. Treasury Accounts being able to exchange the certificates for gold.  

It works the same way for silver or any asset-backed money.  In the real world, nobody could or would exchange a petrodollar certificate for a gallon of crude oil, but the certificate system would work the same way if such a system was imposed.   

The next level of abstraction is the "note", also known as "promissory note" or in popular parlance, I.O.U.  

Many of us remember when Nixon removed "Silver Certificates" from the domestic currency market and replaced them with "Federal Reserve Notes".  

Nixon literally collected all the warehouse receipts using the British Territorial Banks of Commerce to collect the "certificates" and exchange these warehouse receipts for "notes" --- promises to pay something unspecified at some undetermined time in the future -- in inequitable exchange for the certificates and the silver the certificates represented. 

Now we have really landed in La-La Land, no silver, no warehouse receipts for silver, just a promise -- an I.O.U., from a municipal corporation called the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and another municipal corporation called the FEDERAL RESERVE.  

If you stop a moment and examine these Federal Reserve Notes, you will notice that whatever the Borrowers, that is, the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and FEDERAL RESERVE are supposed to pay us in exchange for our silver and silver certificates, is left unstated.  There isn't any mention of a date when the debt is due and payable, either. 

Nobody in their right mind would voluntarily accept such an I.O.U. in real life, but we didn't have any choice. 

We've been forced under conditions of monopoly inducement and color of law to exchange silver for certificates, and then again, to exchange certificates for promissory notes and these promissory "notes" don't even qualify as negotiable instruments.  

Federal Reserve Notes are the exact equivalent of Monopoly Money, and the Federal Courts have been obliged to admit that they have "only symbolic value".  

So, from holding silver coins, a specified amount and quality of a known commodity in your hands, you have been obliged to exchange this for paper certificates representing silver held in warehouses, and then, you have been further imposed upon to exchange these warehouse receipts for silver for "notes" that fail to provide anything of material value in exchange at all.  

We've been defrauded. Individually and collectively and objectively, we've been defrauded. 

It was design prejudice error and accumulated transference error that led to this.  

Once you accepted the certificate -- the warehouse receipt -- you got used to the idea of using paper to represent actual coinage. You got used to counting out "bills" (short for "bills of exchange") and assigning values to bills "as if" they were Silver Dollars, because you could exchange them for Silver Dollars.  In theory. 

The Silver Certificates had become a new means to measure silver that was presumed to be held in banks and treasury warehouses. 

Notice that phrase, "presumed to be".  There is no proof that the Federal Reserve or U.S. Treasury ever retained enough silver to actually be able to exchange all the certificates for silver on demand.  

There is instead very good reason and even good evidence to assume that these institutions pilfered 9/10ths of the silver owed to Americans and kept only 1/10th on hand to satisfy demand for physical exchanges.   

Later, you were already preconditioned by the use of silver certificates to treat pieces of engraved paper as the equivalent of actual money.  This "transfer error" was deliberately encouraged and expanded upon by making the Federal Reserve Notes look and feel almost exactly the same as the Silver Certificates they replaced.  

The Federal Reserve Notes looked the same, smelled the same, and spent the same way in the domestic economy as the Silver Certificates, but something crucial had changed.  Federal Reserve Notes have no intrinsic (commodity) value, and no representational value at all.  

Federal Reserve Notes symbolize a vacuous non-specific promise to pay something someday with no commitment as to when or what. 

This has the immediate effect of leaving the victims no way to pay for anything.  They can only accrue and keep an account of debt and interest on one side of the ledger, and accrue credit on the other side of the ledger --- credit which the Schemers conveniently "forgot" to bring forward, and which they pretended belonged to unknown persons, foreign corporations named after the living people standing in front of them. 

Thanks to the fact that Federal Reserve Notes remained in the economy and were paid in goods and services every time they were presented in any transaction, the amount of prepaid credit owed to the American people, all based on actual goods and services rendered in these completely inequitable exchanges, is astronomical.

The same is true in Europe, Japan, and other places where similar schemes were self-evidently applied.  

The failure to balance the books and provide the debt swap program as outlined in Federal Title 12 allowing for Mutual Offset Credit Exchange Exemptions, means that no remedy was made accessible and the Federal Reserve Act and the Emergency Banking Act were never legalized. 

Opportunists made full use of our human design prejudices to create a means to measure something that doesn't exist -- the good faith and credit of the U.S. Congress. 

This was done to the American people with malice aforethought. 
This was done by people who deliberately conspired to defraud. 
And year after year as they got away with it, the Perpetrators thought we were stupid and unable to discern their treason and breach of trust.   

They self-evidently do not merit any protection of any corporate veil and never had any state immunity, nor do they deserve any benefit of bankruptcy at all.   

Too many years have gone by and too many lies have been told for us to punish the men who set the Great Fraud in motion; we can identify them and hold them up for public excoriation as the crooked, selfish, mean-spirited criminals they were, but they are long since dead and gone. 

What remains is this: 

We can become aware of our design prejudices and tendency to accumulate transference errors.  We can examine the path we take from A to Z and check our logic circuits each step of the way.  

We can shut down the systems these Perpetrators created and installed.  We can erase their Odious Debts.  We can take over crooked banks.  We can return purloined and stolen assets.  We can balance the books.  We can issue prepaid credit.  We can swap debts. 

We can bring the "banks of commerce" under Land Law and lawfully convert them into land jurisdiction commercial banks.  We can open up our own national bilateral banks to serve the living people and their small unincorporated businesses.  We can issue our national asset-backed currencies and on the commercial side, we can issue prepaid credit to the victims of this scheme.    

We can halt registration of babies and cars and recognize that this is grossly criminal activity resulting in non-consensual peonage and enslavement and foreign citizenship obligations.  We can stop the issuance and general use of "land titles" and municipal "land descriptions" and recognize that these practices redefine American land assets as "property" just as American "houses" are being redefined as "homes" belonging to foreign persons and are being mortgaged illegally and held in foreign land trusts "for" non-existent British Subjects and/or  equally non-existent Roman Municipal "citizens of the United States".   

We can close down all the "district" courts and foreign state-of-state courts that have escaped from the District of Columbia and usurped upon the American courts and people.  

We can recognize that the State of State Constitutions currently in existence are constructively fraudulent, in that they are mutual service agreements between two groups of federal employees and haven't been consented to by the state-nationals living in the actual States of the Union at all. 

We can realize that the American Civil War was never a war, and was a commercial conflict instead.  We can realize that the continued misuse and abuse of our American Armed Services as a private mercenary force controlled by the British Crown and the continued occupation of our country by these mercenary forces is patently unlawful and illegal.    

The UK, Incorporated and the USA, Incorporated, do not have the lawful standing to self-approve their mercenary activities on our land and soil, or anywhere else, so any claim that mercenary war is legal because they say so, is void for lack of standing.  

We can and do declare mercenary war for profit to be unlawful, illegal, and morally repugnant --- and strictly prohibited.  If Scotland wants to own its own filthy habits and culpability it can do so in its own name and field its own armies all by itself.   

All of this work and more needs to be done.  Immediately. 

To the American People, wake up, Buttercups.  The British King who isn't a King in England has been raping you and your country and dumbing you down  for 165 years ---and the various Roman Pontiffs have been right behind him. 

To the Guilty Parties: you know what you owe, and the Mills of God are upon you.  You can never make up for the harm you have done, because you cannot make up for the lives lost, the people maimed, or the lives truncated by your sins, the houses, farms and ranches lost, the fortunes decimated, natural resources squandered, Earth polluted, the innocent souls cast into prisons for profit, the sanctity of the courts utterly destroyed, the law itself dragged through mud because of you, and even the churches made into a mockery of themselves, teaching the lure of consumerism and the love of money.  

It is not given to me to decide your final fate and it's probably a good thing for all concerned that it isn't, but it is given to me to evaluate and expose what you have done with the sacred trust placed in your hands.  Don't wait until tomorrow to repent.
