International Public Notice and Declaration of Assignment: Regarding American Heritage Dollars

 By Anna Von Reitz

Notice to Principals is Notice to Agents; Notice to Agents is Notice to Principals: Take Notice, All, to Whom These Presents Come:

The Missing Link has surfaced, the "lost" connector that links the world of asset-backed money and commercial paper: we know this vital connector as "prepaid credit", that is, credit that has already been paid, as opposed to credit that has yet to be repaid (with interest) at some time in the future. 

For over a hundred years, the goods and services that Americans have provided in response to being presented with Federal Reserve Notes (I.O.U.s) have not been credited.  

A similar situation exists with the EURO and other fiat currencies that have been used in other markets and countries which have appeared to collect a "National Debt". 

By definition, National Debts and interest owed on National Debts cannot exist.  

Why?  Because each time a Federal Reserve Note or EURO has been presented, these I.O.U.s have been paid for with actual goods and services.  

The I.O.U.s in circulation-- Federal Reserve Notes, EUROs, etc., -- have already been "redeemed" and they should have been "discharged" also, at each initial point of sale. 

The Federal Reserve Notes and EUROS --- commercial I.O.U.s  --- should have been cancelled, collected, and marked "paid in full", but they weren't.  

The I.O.U.s were allowed to remain in circulation, instead. 

As a result, these I.O.U.s were paid for in actual goods and services over and over and over again. 

This results in a gargantuan "unclaimed" credit, but we all know who it belongs to -- the living people of every country impacted by this egregious fraud. 

Our country, officially known as The United States among the nations, was used as the base of operations for the criminal banking cartel known as the Federal Reserve. 

The Federal Reserve is not and never was any part of our American Government nor has it been part of the Federal Government provided by Federal Service Contractors that have operated under our delegated powers.  

It has, instead, been a vendor hired under contract by the British Territorial United States Congress known as the U.S. Congress. 

This Central Bank cabal member, the deceptively-named "Federal Reserve" is licensed by the British Territorial United States Congress to rig commodities and issue debt notes on behalf of the British Territorial Service Vendors we defined and hired under the terms of The Constitution of the United States of America. 

The Federal Reserve is a vendor of our vendors, and like all the other central banks, it has to be licensed because it is engaged in commodity rigging, which is a criminal activity leading to monopolization of resources and obstruction of trade.   

The Great Mother of the Federal Reserve and the sixty-two other member central banks is the Bank for International Settlements, the central bank of central banks, which is licensed to operate in Switzerland and is owned by the sixty-three central bank members of this organization.

The Bank for International Settlements doesn't operate under any one law or system of laws.  It has its own internal corporate law  provided by the Statutes of the Bank for International Settlements which were created in 1930.  This is supplemented internationally by the Convention Respecting the BIS and the Hague Convention of 1930.  

Why 1930? 

In May of 1930, the commercial corporations that had been operating "as" the governments of the G-5 nations, all decided to go bankrupt and pass on their debts to their purported Underwriters --- the living people of the nations that these foreign corporations illegally occupied --- the living people they misrepresented and impersonated as public trusts belong to Missing Persons and as Roman Municipal Estate TRUSTS. 

This gigantic fraud scheme benefiting commercial corporations at the expense of living people has continued snowballing ever since, until now. 

The Wonky Bookkeeping which tracked the debt created upon the issuance of the Federal Reserve Notes (and EUROs, etc.) failed to track the corresponding credit, failed to cancel the debt, and left the debt notes in circulation, so that they continued to be paid and paid and paid -- in actual goods and services, while the Issuers of the debt notes only accrued the cost of printing and debt tracking. 

There was no equitable consideration and no cancellation of the "debt" and no balancing of the accounts.  

Their excuse? 

Actual goods and services belong to the monetary system, not the financial system, and as the "Americans" and later the "Europeans" were "Missing, presumed dead", and the credit was "unclaimed" --- the bankers and the Crown and the Popes were content to let the actual Creditors appear to be perpetual Debtors, instead of issuing the prepaid credit they owed the victims of this scheme. 

We claimed the credit owed and we claimed their debt(s) -- both the debts of the UNITED STATES and the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the FEDERAL RESERVE, etc., plus all the same for the United States, Inc., the United States of America, Inc., and the Federal Reserve, Inc. 

This now extends to all the Maritime Commercial Banks and especially to Chase Bank and JPMorgan Bank, as they acted as creditors of the Federal Reserve System bankruptcy in 2009 and received the assets thereof, including the trademarked brands and business names "FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD OF GOVERNORS" and "FEDERAL RESERVE" respectively.  

All private bank accounts in this country were secretly rolled over and redefined as "FedNow" accounts beginning in July of 2023, so the Federal Reserve now claims to own every "private" bank and every private bank account in The United States.  

Our Treasury claims to own the Federal Reserve and all the other Central Bank members of the Bank for International Settlements, plus the Treasury of the United States Successors (1787 to date), the Treasury of the United States of America (1789 to date) and the TREASURY OF THE UNITED STATES and U.S. TREASURY and all various Municipal treasuries (1790 to present) associated with this outrageous bookkeeping and currency fraud scheme, plus all the bankrupt Maritime Commercial banks, on behalf of the living people of this planet --- all those who have hands and feet, in whom the blood flows and the flesh grows. 

That does, of course, include the estates of the British Crown employees and Roman Inferior Trust Estates and ESTATES created by the successive generations of Roman Pontiffs, which are reclaimed and reverted along with all the rest of the estates, physical assets, and credit owed to suffering humanity. 

The assets owed are hereby returned to the bank(s) we chartered for the purpose of reallocating assets and credit to the living people, The Global Family International Trade Bank (for physical assets) and The Global Family Commercial Bank (for land jurisdiction assets in commerce) and The Global Family Bank of Commerce (for maritime commerce assets).  

These banks function under American Common Law, American Public Law, and American Maritime-Admiralty Law, respectively. 

They operate under the original and undelegated authority of the Federation of States of the Union; that is, they are Federation Banks, not "Federal" Banks. 

We have undertaken the responsibility to erase the fictitious National Debts that have hitherto been amassed under conditions of deceit and duplicity, to collect and return ownership of the physical assets of each nation which have been purloined, to collect and return the abundant prepaid credit owed to each living man and woman on Earth. 

The Bad Bookkeeping and False Claim that our credit is or ever was Unclaimed is thus overturned and all public employees of all strata, our Vendors and their Vendors in receipt of contracts based on our largesse, are all directed to heave-ho and make the required adjustments and arrangements. 

In particular, Donald Trump, Scott Bessent, Jerome Powell, and all related Administrative, Treasury, and Central Bank personnel are provided with this Notice and Declaration regarding the issuance of American Heritage Dollars as prepaid credit instruments that will directly absorb and back-charge all National Debts against already issued and circulating Note-based currencies, thereby gradually removing those "note based" currencies from circulation and replacing them with new prepaid credit instruments, which we are issuing directly as the American Heritage Dollar. 

This applies to all Federal Vendors and their franchises.  

This will effectively erase all paper debt and also result in all interest payments based on this paper debt being identified as Odious Debt, that is, debt created by some means of fraud that the victims are unaware of and do not benefit from. 

These "National Debts" will be absorbed by the already issued note-based currencies recognized as credits owed the living people of each country, and by the American Heritage Dollars that we are issuing as a means to return prepaid credit to millions of Americans as well.  

This ends the conundrum presented by the lack of connectivity between the monetary and financial systems, resolves the ownership of the so-called "Unclaimed Credit", and redistributes the prepaid credit directly to the people to whom it belongs. 

A similar solution with respect to the Monetary System already exists in the form of American Federation Dollars (gold) which is both a separate species and which includes all "United States" gold coinage, plus the United States Silver Dollars (silver) owed to the living people of this country.  

In that regard, Mr. Trump and Mr. Bessent, are specifically requested and required to return the 432,000 bars of gold that have been commandeered; that gold, recouped from the Vatican, belongs to living people and to the ancestors of living people who were enslaved and who endured peonage under the scourge of Rome and the Birth Certificate Bond Schemes practiced by both the British Crown and the Office of the Roman Pontiff.  

We have the records of the 60:40 split between the Pontiff and the Crown and a complete documentation of the paper and physical asset trade between the Pontiffs and the administration, provided  most recently by Pepe Orsini, bankrolling the SERCO accounts paying for your corporations' services.

We also have recent admission by JPMorgan of its receipt of silver owed to the American People as part of the assets it recouped from the bankruptcy of the Federal Reserve System.  This physical asset is also owed return to the American States and people from whom it was extracted as part of the 1933-34 Emergency Acts. 

Attempts to harvest private bank accounts on the pretense that the debts represented by the contents of those accounts are property issued by and belonging to the Federal Reserve will not prosper any settlement; those "notes" have already been claimed as part of the United States' "National Debt" on paper, and as evidence of a vast and pernicious commercial banking crime and fraud scheme perpetrated against humanity. 

Finally, there is the issue of the land assets purloined by the Northern Trust Corporation, which properly belong to this American Government and its States of the Union and the living people of this country, together with the similar "reversionary trust interest" owed to the people of Canada and Greenland.  

These purported Trust properties are claimed hereby and in the Public Records and Court Records previously established and must be returned to the ownership of the actual living people and National Governments without further pretense, obfuscation, or delay. 

We note that the Northern Trust Corporation and its affiliates are part of the entire scheme to illegally latch onto American assets, especially land assets, by presuming that the American Government was rendered "absent" and "in interregnum" as the result of one of its Federal Service Vendors going bankrupt. 

This is self-evidently not true and never was true.  The Federation of States and the States themselves were not rendered absent or inoperable in any sense by the mercenary conflict known as the American Civil War, and have never been in need of any salvage services rendered by the British Empire. 

The "titles" taken and imposed by these false suppositions, must be dissolved and the United States Land Patents returned to the States and the living people to whom they belong. Ditto Canada. 

Any residual interest the British Crown and its Territorial Government held in these assets is represented purely and simply by the British Subjects who continue to voluntarily reside in this country under the terms of the Residence Act and those similar provisions made for Municipal citizens of the United States.  

Please note that the long delay in the enrollment of the so-called western Territorial "States" and their condition of perpetual Territorial Statehood was corrected as of October 1st 2020, with unanimous acceptance and retroactive enrollment by the provenanced People and States of the Union Assemblies that existed prior to 1861. Each such Territorial "State" was enrolled as a State of the Union effective with the date that they accepted such Statehood.  

Any generalized interest in the property assets and characters of the American people purloined by undisclosed registration of "birth certificates" must be completely disallowed as a self-interested fraud scheme resulting in unlawful conversion of assets, impersonation of Americans as British Subjects, imposition of foreign law in breach of trust, aggravated identity theft and conspiracy against the limitations of the Federal Constitutions. 

We are issuing prepaid credit as American Heritage Dollars owed to living men and women; these are in effect a non-taxable gift and part of a worldwide settlement of fraudulent debts, fraudulent commercial claims, and restitution that must be made in the Public Interest and to individual living people, whose labor has been extracted illegally, who have suffered unlawful and illegal taxation, and whose assets have been non-consensually used as collateral for public debts that don't actually exist. 

So said, so signed, so sealed this 19th day of January 2025 in the common calendar by:

International Public Notice: Brits, Bunko, and Betrayal

 By Anna Von Reitz

Here's the real deal on George Soros, brought to you by Promethean Action --- which, like our researchers, long ago discerned the role of the British Government as the Source of continued Colonialist crimes, regime changes, and commercial predation upon humanity. 

It should not surprise us that George Soros has been their creation, too: 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJIstLdWXec

Everything that Promethean Action is bringing forward is information that we have either already brought forward or which we echo.  

It's always the Brits at the bottom of every dog pile -- reliably, monotonously so.  

The difference between our American Government and our research and the research of Promethean Action is that our research goes much deeper into history --- only to find the same thing, century after century: Britain and Rome, always at the bottom of every war, every economic collapse, and always pulling some kind of scam, heist, or other criminal action.  Like this: 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgkbeFQbSMc

Please understand that our soldiers and sailors were being used as cheap mercenaries by the British Crown --- a fact and status that was kept studiously secret from them.  

Like the gold that vanished in the wreckage of Building Seven and other World Trade Center vaults.  Like the gold from the Vatican that the same persons have commandeered.  

The actual roles and ownerships and circumstances have been kept secret from the public and pursued under color of law.  

We all have to wake up and put an end to the British Apologia for Colonialism and theft.  The "benefits" they offer are not benefits.  We didn't ask for these "benefits" or want them, and don't consider their contributions to be anything we cannot or do not provide for ourselves.  

The entire idea that we can't take care of ourselves, when we in fact provide for their care as well as our own is ludicrous. 

However, as long as we let the Globalists threaten us with one wrong path and let the British Navy threaten us with another wrong path -- so that no matter what we do, we wind up where we don't want to be -- we will be pawns in their ugly self-interested game.  

Be astute enough to turn on your own Shinola Sensors and look hard at what Donald Trump is doing.  

Yes, he is disrupting the international criminal cartels that have been involved in such gross crimes as drug smuggling, counterfeiting, human trafficking, organ harvesting and more. 

Yes, he is putting an end to the immigration crisis. 

He is also putting an end to the trillion-dollar insurance industry fraud.

For these initiatives we are truly grateful. 

We aren't happy with the theft of gold and silver and land that belongs to the American people and which does not belong to the British Crown.  

They do not have a legitimate management contract or valid citizenship relationship with the actual owners, and need to observe the limitations of the contract they have a claim to.

We aren't happy with the Globalist "regional government" playbook that Trump is following --- joining Canada, the US, and Mexico, with Greenland and other bits thrown in, to create all sorts of additional Territorial "States" and further clouding national identity. 

We aren't happy that Mr. Trump and his Administration continue to try to skirt the main issue, which is not only the British deceit, breach of trust, and criminal activity in violation of their service contract, but is also their steadfast failure to recognize the fact that our American Government is still here, still competent to make decisions for itself, and still owed the respect of our employees. 

It isn't to their advantage to recognize their employers.  Doing so immediately shows them up for the Con Artists, Oath Breakers, and False Friends that they have been.  Nonetheless, making a clean breast of it is the only way to go forward without the taint of fraud and breach of trust following ever-afterward. 

Mr. Trump-- we recognize your Naval Office as Commander-in-Chief, and we observe that we, at least, are not at sea, not confused about who we are or where we come from.  We are not British Subjects. We are not Federal citizens of any kind.  

It's time --- indeed, past time --- for you, Mr. Trump, to recognize these facts and remove the Internal Revenue Service, the District Court System, the Property Tax system, the so-called Franchise Tax system, also the Utility Tax system, and the State-of-State mortgage system, and all claims of any National Debt.

Second Sunday After Epiphany

Rev. Fr. Leonard Goffine's The Church's Year In the Introit of this day's Mass the Church calls upon all creatures to thank God for the Incarnation of His only-begotten Son. INTROIT Let all the earth adore Thee, O God and sing to Thee: let it sing a psalm to Thy name (Ps. 65:4). Shout with joy to God all the earth, sing ye a psalm to His name: give glory to His praise (Ps. 65:1-2). Glory be to the Father. COLLECT Almighty and eternal God, Who disposest all things in heaven and on earth: mercifully hear the supplications of Thy people, and give Thy peace to our times. Through our Lord. EPISTLE (Rom.12:6-16). Brethren: We have different gifts, according to the grace that is given us: either prophecy, to be used according to the rule of faith, or ministry in ministering, or he that teacheth in doctrine, he that exhorteth in exhorting, he that giveth with simplicity, he that ruleth with carefulness, he that sheweth mercy with cheerfulness. Let love be without dissimulation. Hating that which is evil, cleaving to that which is good: loving one another with the charity of brotherhood: with honor preventing one another: in carefulness not slothful: in spirit fervent: serving the Lord: rejoicing in hope: patient in tribulation: instant in prayer: communicating to the necessities of the saints: pursuing hospitality: bless them that persecute you: bless and curse not. Rejoice with them that rejoice, weep with them that weep: being of one mind, one towards another: not minding high things, but consenting to the humble. Be not wise in your own conceits. EXPLANATION. St. Paul in this epistle exhorts every Christian to make good use of the gifts of God; if one receives an office, he must see well to it, so that he can give an account to God of the faithful performance of his duties. He exhorts especially to brotherly love which we should practice by charitable works; such as, receiving strangers hospitably, giving alms to those who are in need, and to those who by misfortune or injustice have lost their property; he commands us, at the same time, to rejoice in the welfare of our neighbor, as we rejoice at our own good fortune, and to grieve at his misfortunes as we would over those which befall us. How is brotherly love best preserved? By the virtue of humility which makes us esteem our neighbor above ourselves, consider his good qualities only, bear patiently his defects, and always meet him in a friendly, respectful, and indulgent manner. Humility causes us to live always in peace with our fellowmen, while among the proud, where each wishes to be the first, there is continual strife and dissatisfaction (Prov. 13:10). INSTRUCTION FOR SUPERIORS Those have to expect a severe sentence from God, who merely for temporal gain, seek profitable offices, and thrust themselves therein whether capable or not, and if capable care very little whether they fulfill the duties required, or perhaps make the fulfillment of them depend upon bribes. Of such God makes terrible complaint: Thy princes (judges) are faithless, companions of thieves: they all love bribes, they run after rewards. They judge not for the fatherless; and the widow's cause comes not into them (Is. 1:23). A most severe judgment shall be for them that bear rule (Wisd. 6:6). ASPIRATION Grant us, O Lord, Thy grace, that according to Thy will, we may follow the instructions of St. Paul in regard to humility and love, have compassion upon all suffering and needy, think little of ourselves, and descend to the lowest, that we may, one day, be elevated with them in heaven. GOSPEL (Jn. 2:1-11). At that time there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee: and the mother of Jesus was there. And Jesus also was invited, and his disciples, to the marriage. And the wine failing, the mother of Jesus saith to him: They have no wine. And Jesus with to her: Woman, what is it to me and to thee? my hour is not yet come. His mother saith to the waiters: Whatsoever he shall say to you, do ye. Now there were set there six water-pots of stone, according to the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three measures apiece. Jesus saith to them: Fill the water-pots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. And Jesus saith to them: Draw out now, and carry to the chief steward of the feast. And they carried it. And when the chief steward had tasted the water made wine, and knew not whence it was, but the waiters knew who had drawn the water; the chief steward calleth the bridegroom, and saith to him: Every man at first setteth forth good wine; and when men have well drank, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now. This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee: and manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him. Why was Christ and His mother present at this marriage? In order to honor this humble and God-fearing couple who, with faithful hearts, had invited Him and His mother to their wedding; to give us an example of humility; to assist them in their poverty, and save their good name by changing water into wine; to reveal His dignity as the Messiah to His disciples by this miracle; and to sanctify by His presence the marriages that are contracted in the spirit of the Church. Alas! how few marriages of our time could Jesus honor with His presence, because He is invited neither by fervent prayer, nor by the chaste life of the couple: He is excluded rather, by the frequent immorality of the married couple and their guests. Why was Mary interested in this married couple? Because she is merciful, and the Mother of Mercy, and willingly assists all the poor and afflicted who fear God. From this incident, St. Bonaventure judges of the many graces which we can hope for through Mary, now that she reigns in heaven; "For," says he, "if Mary while yet on earth was so compassionate, how much more so is she now, reigning in heaven!" He gives the reason by adding: "Mary now that she sees the face of God, knows our necessities far better than when she was on earth, and in proportion to the increase of her compassion, her power to aid us has been augmented." Ah! why do we not take refuge in all our necessities to this merciful mother, who although unasked assists the needy? Why did Christ say to Mary: Woman, what is it to me and to thee? This seemingly harsh reply of Christ was no reproach, for Mary had made her request only through love and mercy, and Christ calls those blessed who are merciful, but he wished to show that in the performance of divine work, the will of His heavenly Father alone should be consulted. He meant to remind her that He had not received the gift of miracles from her as the son of woman, but from His eternal Father, in accordance with whose will He would do that which she asked when the hour designed by God would come. Though the hour had not come, yet He granted the wish of His mother, who knew that her divine Son refused none of her requests, and so she said to the servants: "Whatsoever He shall say to you, do ye." Behold the great power of Mary's intercession! Neglect not, therefore, to take refuge in this most powerful mother! What are we taught by the words: My hour is not yet come? These words teach us that we should in all things await God's appointed time, and in things belonging to God and His honor, act only by divine direction, without any human motives. What does the scarcity of wine signify? In a spiritual sense the want of wine may be understood to signify the lack of love between married people, which is principally the case with those who enter this state through worldly motives, for the sake of riches, beauty of person, or who have before marriage kept up sinful intercourse. These should ask God for the forgiveness of their sins, bear the hardships of married life in the spirit of penance, and change the wrong motives they had before marriage; by doing so God will supply the scarcity of wine, that is the lack of true love, and change the waters of misery into the wine of patient affection. Why did Christ command them to take the wine to the steward? That the steward, whose office required him to be attentive to the conduct of the guests, and to know the quality of the wine, should give his judgment in regard to the excellence of this, and be able to testify to the miracle before all the guests. ASPIRATION O my most merciful Jesus! I would rather drink in this world the sour wine of misery than the sweet wine of pleasure, that in heaven I may taste the perfect wine of eternal joy. INSTRUCTION ON THE HOLY SACRAMENT OF MATRIMONY What is Matrimony? Matrimony is the perfect, indissoluble union of two free persons of different sex, for the purpose of propagating the human race, mutually to bear the burdens of life and to prevent sin (I Cor. 7:2). Who instituted Matrimony? God Himself, the Creator of all things (Gen. 1:27-28). He brought to man the helpmate, whom He formed from one of the ribs of Adam, that she who came from his heart, might never depart therefrom, but cling to him in the indissoluble bond of love (Gen. 2:18, 24). To this original, divine institution Christ refers (Mt. 19:4-6), and the Church declares the bond of marriage perpetual and indissoluble. Is Matrimony a Sacrament? Yes; according to the testimony of the Fathers, the Church has held it such from the times of the apostles, which she could not do, had Christ not raised it to the dignity of a Sacrament. St. Paul even calls it a great Sacrament, because it is symbolical of the perpetual union of Christ with His Church; and the Council of Trent declares: "If any one says that Matrimony is not really and truly one of the seven Sacraments of the Church instituted by Christ, but an invention of men that imparts no grace, let him be anathema" (Conc. Trid., Sess. XXIV, can. 1). What graces does this Sacrament impart? The grace of preserving matrimonial fidelity inviolate: the grace of educating children as Christians; of patiently enduring the unavoidable difficulties of married life, and of living peaceably with each other. Married people are indeed greatly in need of these graces, in order to fulfil their mutual obligations. What is the external sign in the Sacrament of Matrimony? The union of two single persons in Matrimony, which according to the regulations of the Council of Trent (Conc. Trid., Sess. XXIV, can. 1), must be formed publicly in the presence of the pastor, or with his permission before another priest, and two witnesses. What preparations are to be made to receive the grace of this Sacrament? 1. The first and best preparation is a pure and pious life. 2. The light of the Holy Ghost should be invoked to know whether one is called to this state of life. 3. The parents and the father-confessor should be asked for advice. 4. The choice should be made in regard to a Christian heart, and a gentle disposition rather than to beauty and wealth. 5. The immediate preparation is, to purify the conscience, if it has not already been done, by a good general confession, and by the reception of the most holy Sacrament of the Altar. Before their marriage the young couple should ask their parents' blessing, should hear the nuptial Mass with devotion, with the intention of obtaining God's grace to begin their new state of life well, and finally they should commend themselves with confidence to the protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary and her spouse St. Joseph. Why are there so many unhappy marriages? Because so many people prepare the way by sins and vices, and continue to sin without interruption, and without true amendment until marriage, therefore always make sacrilegious confessions, even perhaps immediately before marriage. Besides this many enter the married life on account of carnal intentions, or other earthly motives; in many cases they do not even ask God for His grace; without any proper preparation for such an important, sacred act, on their marriage day they go to church with levity and afterwards celebrate their wedding with but little modesty. Is it any wonder that such married people receive no blessing, no grace, when they render themselves so unworthy? Why did God institute married life? That children might be brought up honestly and as Christians, and that they should be instructed especially in matters of faith; that married people should sustain each other in the difficulties of life, and mutually exhort one another to a pious life; and lastly, that the sin of impurity might be avoided. For they who in such manner receive matrimony as to shut out God from themselves, and from their mind, and to give themselves to their lust, as the horse and mule which have not understanding, over them the devil hath power (Too. 6:17). 'With what intentions should the married state be entered? With such intentions as the young Tobias and his bride had, who before the marriage ceremony, ardently prayed God for His grace, and took their wedding breakfast in the fear of the Lord (Too. 14:15). Hence God's blessing was with them until death. If all young people would enter the married state thus, it would certainly be holy, God-pleasing and blessed, and the words of St. Paul, spoken to wives, would come true unto them: Yet she shall be saved by bearing children, if she continue in faith, and love, and sanctification with sobriety (I Tim. 2:15). Why are the bans of marriage published three times in Church? That all impediments which would render the marriage unlawful may be made known. Such impediments are: consanguinity, clandestine marriages, etc. Therefore, any one who is aware of such impediments, is bound to make them known to the pastor. Why is the marriage performed in the presence of the parish priest? Because the Catholic Church expressly declares that those marriages which are not performed in presence of the pastor, or with his permission before another priest, and two witnesses, are null and void (Conc. Trid., Sess. XXIV can. 1)1; and because the blessing of the priest, which he imparts in the name of the Church, gives the couple, if they are in a state of grace, strength, fortitude and grace to be faithful to each other, to endure all trials patiently, and to be safe from all the influences of the evil enemy." Why do they join hands before the priest, and two witnesses? By this they bind themselves before God and His Church to remain true to each other, and to be ready to assist each other in all adversities. The bridegroom puts a ring on the bride's finger which should remind her of her duty of inviolable fidelity; to this end the priest signs and seals this holy union with the unbloody Sacrifice of the New Law. Can the bond of marriage be dissolved in the Catholic Church? A valid marriage, contracted with the free consent of each of the parties, can according to the plain doctrine of the Scriptures, the constant teaching and practice of the Church, be dissolved only by the death of one of the parties. If the pope or a bishop, for important reasons, gives a divorce, this is only partial, and neither can marry again while the other lives. Such a marriage would not be valid. How pure and holy are the doctrine and practice of the Catholic Church in this the most important and sacred of all human relations, preserving its inviolability and sanctity; while, on the contrary, by means of the wanton doctrine of the heretics, which for trivial reasons entirely dissolves the marriage contract, this sacred union is made the deepest ignominy of mankind, and the play-ball of human passions and caprice! What is thought of mixed marriages, or marriages between Catholics and Protestants? The Catholic Church has always condemned such marriages, because of the great dangers to which the Catholic party is unavoidably exposed as well as the offspring. Such marriages promote indifference in matters of religion, by which the spiritual life of the soul is destroyed; they are a hindrance to domestic peace, cause mutual aversion, quarrels, and confusion; they give scandal to servants; they interfere with the Christian education of the children, even render it impossible, and they frequently lead to apostasy and despair. But the Catholic Church condemns especially those mixed marriages, in which either all or a number of the children are brought up in heresy, and she can never bless and look upon those as her children who do not fear to withdraw themselves and their own children from the only saving faith, and expose them to the danger of eternal ruin. Therefore, those Catholics who enter the matrimonial union with Protestants, although the marriage if lawfully contracted is valid, commit a mortal sin if they permit their children to be brought up in heresy, and should it not be their full intention to bring up their children in the Catholic faith at the time of their marriage, they would commit a sacrilege. What should the newly married couple do immediately after the ceremony is performed? They should kneel and thank God for the graces received in this holy Sacrament, in such or similar words: "Ratify, we beseech Thee, O Lord, that which by Thy grace Thou hast wrought in us, that we may keep that which in Thy presence we have promised unto the day of our Lord Jesus Christ." That they may keep their promise made at the altar, they should always remember the duties laid down to them by the priest at the time of their marriage, and the exhortations which are taken from the epistle of St. Paul to the Ephesians (Eph. 5:29, 31), wherein he instructs married people how they should comport themselves towards each other, and recalls to them as an example the union of Christ with His Church, and His love for her. To the husbands he says, they should love their wives as Christ loved His Church, for which He even gave Himself up to death; from this is seen, that men should assist their wives even unto death, in all need, and not treat them as servants. To the wives St. Paul says, that they as the weaker should be in all reasonable things obedient to their husbands, as the Church is obedient to Christ; for as Christ is the head of the Church, so is the husband the head of the wife. Experience proves there is no better way for women to win the hearts of their husbands than by amiable obedience and ready love, while, on the contrary, a querulous, imperative deportment robs them of their husbands' affections, and even causes them to be regarded with aversion. St. Paul says further; that husbands should love their wives (and consequently wives their husbands) as their own bodies, because married people are, as it were, one. They shall be two in one flesh; no man ever hated his own flesh, but nourisheth and cherisheth it, as also Christ doth the Church (Eph. 5:29, 31). How unjustly and barbarously do those act, who, instead of loving one another, rather hate and outrage each other, and cause the loss of their property, and by detraction steal their honor! These do not consider that he who hates and disgraces his partner in life, hates and disgraces himself; while according to the words of St. Paul he who loves her, loves himself. If married people would remain in constant love and unity, it is most necessary that they should patiently bear with each other's infirmities, wrongs, and defects, exhort one another with mildness and affection, keep their adversities, trials, and sufferings as much as possible to themselves, and complain in prayer only to God, who alone can aid them. By impatience, quarrels, and complaints the cross becomes only heavier and the evil worse. Finally, not only on their wedding day, but often through life, they should earnestly consider that they have not entered the married state that they may inordinately serve the pleasures of the body, but to have children who will one day inhabit heaven according to the will of God; as the angel said to Tobias: "For they who in such manner receive matrimony, as to shut out God from themselves and from their mind, and to give themselves to their lust as the horse and mule, which have not understanding, over them the devil hath power" (Tob. 6:17). PRAYER Most merciful Jesus! who didst work Thy first miracle at the wedding in Cana by changing water into wine, thereby revealing Thy divine power and majesty, and honoring matrimony: grant we beseech Thee, that Thy faithful may ever keep sacred and inviolate the holy sacrament of Matrimony, and that they may so live in it truthfully, in the fear of the Lord, that they may not put an obstacle in the way of obtaining heaven for themselves, and their children. 1. In all such dioceses of the United States, where the Council of Trent has not been published, civil marriages are considered valid. The Catholic, however, who becomes married by civil authority commits a mortal sin, except in case of extreme necessity. To be married by a sectarian preacher is looked upon as a denial of faith, and incurs excommunication.

Discipline for Gossiping

 By Anna Von Reitz

There are those among us who gossip wildly, recklessly, with no respect for the facts.  Those who are doing this are hereby put on Notice.  People who consistently do this are either not mentally stable, or are doing it on purpose to obstruct progress.  

As we do not have time to deal with obstruction, grudge-matches or sophomoric nonsense, any further activity of this kind will be met with a permanent injunction against the Gossipers participation in Assembly Meetings and Committee work, at any level, State or County. 

 

Their birthright will be honored and they will be enabled to vote in public elections, but they will not have a place of trust or honor and will not be enabled to continue in this manner.  

Our Forefathers gave us the ability to protect the integrity and function of the assemblies by various means and we are prepared to deploy them all.

Let me unequivocally state that Lisa Schaffer of Ohio has been a very effective and dedicated teacher and guide and is a reliable and trusted member of the whole team effort.  She has led a successful and highly informative weekly podcast and hosted our last "Family Reunion" in Ohio, and she sometimes steps in to help answer questions on the weekly Coordinator Call when I know I will be a few minutes late.  She does this as a favor to me, so that participants aren't wasting their time because of my schedule. 

The people of Ohio have successfully navigated the entire process of standing up their State Assembly; they have generously shared what they learned and experienced in the process for the potential benefit of all the other State Assemblies encountering the same challenges --- not to force the same answers on any other State, but to present answers that worked for Ohio as a point of departure for discussion and consideration.  

Jealous people, scheming people, people who are motivated by fear and suspicion, have tried to detract from Ohio's success instead of learning from it.  They have attributed evil intentions to Ohio's efforts to share information and they have attacked Lisa Schaffer and made grossly false statements about her.  

Nobody here at the Federation will stand for it. 

Louise Campbell-Anthony moved to Ohio in 2023 and Lisa Schaffer helped her correct her status.  At the time, Louise explained that she was in transition and intending to return to Illinois once her school and family issues resolved -- and that is precisely what happened. She left Ohio voluntarily, according to her own plan, right on schedule, and nobody "chased her out". 

Denise Miraz of The Nevada Assembly has made very, very irresponsible statements about this and other matters that are not credible.  

While in Ohio, Louise Campbell-Anthony worked on an IT Committee to develop a website for The Ohio Assembly.  She was one of four members and contributed her expertise as a website designer, however, neither she nor anyone else on the committee had the programming skills to develop the database aspects of the planned new website.  

Ohio pitched their pennies in the hat and raised $6000 and initially consulted a programmer from India who gave them wildly varied cost estimates, anywhere from $1500 to many thousands. What Ohio wanted was a simple start up for the State Assembly.  The programmer offered everything from a Volkswagen to a Lamborghini they couldn't dream about affording. 

Louise suggested that Ohio could afford a much more expensive design if they charged each County Assembly $50,000 as they came on board.  The other members objected because --- first of all, nobody can commit someone else to paying for something in advance, and secondly, having to pay such a sum simply to gain a spin off website access to the State Assembly website and data services could be a  financial impediment for fledgling counties.  

Other options were discussed.  Alternatives to hiring the Indian programmer arose along with objections from the General Assembly to the idea of entrusting the website database design to a foreign programmer.  This was voted on, and the plan to use his services was dropped.  

The problem arose when Louise Campbell-Anthony later sent this same Indian programmer the database information, even after the General Assembly had voted to nix the effort.  Some members felt that this was a serious breach of trust, resulting in private information being given to a foreign vendor even after the General Assembly had voted to end that part of the initiative and take a different route forward.

Louise was widely criticized over this in Ohio, but as she left Ohio shortly afterward, it seemed to be a moot issue--- yet she felt wronged by the backlash and continued to talk about it and even threatened legal action against The Ohio Assembly.  

The Federation heard about the situation, considered it a matter of making a mistake, but nothing so serious, as all the "leaked information" was already public as a part of the State Credential Verify system. Ohio settled down, Louise Campbell-Anthony moved on as she intended, and that should have been the end of it -- in our opinion.

Misrepresentations of this circumstance have surfaced in the form of wild allegations made by Denise Miraz, from The Nevada Assembly, who has been known to make similar "reinterpretations" about other circumstances and people, attributing evil motivations to others, and "gossiping it up" -- adding non-existent details, plot twists, and even involving people who weren't present at all. 

This is not free speech.  

This is indicative of a mental/perceptual problem or a deliberate effort to misrepresent people and circumstances in a way calculated to create ill will and suspicion and the spread of false allegations and rumors.  For example, in the present situation, Denise claimed to have spoken to Lisa Schaffer multiple times, but actually spoke to Lisa exactly once about a different topic. 

Is her memory faulty?  Did she think she was speaking to Lisa when speaking to someone else?  We don't know.  What we do know is that all this "faulty information" coming out of The Nevada Assembly has caused unnecessary disruption and ill-will and suspicion, none of which is welcome here. 

It also resulted in a discussion of this disinformation in an international level Marshal-at-Arms meeting, a meeting at which neither the Ohio Speaker, Lisa Schaffer, nor the Ohio Marshal-at-Arms were present. 

What should have happened, is that any discussion should have been tabled until such time as the Ohio contingent was available to speak on their own behalf, and every Marshal-at-Arms present should have objected to the consideration of Secondhand testimony from a member of The Nevada Assembly who wasn't even remotely involved in anything that happened or failed to happen in Ohio.  

We, at the Federation, who loan the Marshals at Arms positions to the Assemblies to perform basic security operations for the Assemblies, are appalled. 

It is not the job of any Marshals at Arms personnel to entertain Secondhand gossip and it is not the job of the PKTF to promote any situation like this as "training" for our Marshals at Arms.  

The only possible training this situation offers is the opportunity to recognize personal grudges, fear-mongering, and reckless gossip being allowed to interfere with the proper functioning of our Assemblies and the accomplishment of their own duties.

Now, we will put it to The Nevada Assembly and the responsible County Assembly just as we put it to The North Carolina Assembly when similar problems appeared.  

It's your responsibility to uphold standards of behavior for your members and to discipline them so as to ensure that their activities are not causing baseless disruption and unpleasantness. 

If you have someone playing the part of the Unaccountable Source, and their gossip is causing divisiveness and ill-will in your assembly or worse, interfering across state lines in anyone else's assembly, they must be forthrightly addressed.  The objectionable nature of their activity must be explained to them and they must be given the chance to correct. 

If they do not correct and continue to bring forward baseless assertions and/or secondhand gossip, they must be disciplined with a time out of at least three months' duration.  The Marshal at Arms, the Coordinator or Speaker, and the Militia Commander are responsible for preserving the informational security and standards of evidence for the Assembly at Large according to American Common Law, our customs, and traditions.
