Granna Bytes -- The Word "Volatility"

 By Anna Von Reitz

What has happened?  After ten (10) years of shilly-shally and delays and ignoring Basel III compliance requirements, the cards have been called.  It's more a matter of the timing and the specific conditions under which the Basel III compliance is being enforced, and how it is being enforced, that are noteworthy and arguably wonky.

The Federal Reserve is on the ropes because they still have a seven trillion dollar debt left over from the Big Short in 2008, because the Treasuries market has gone soft, and because the entire basis that they operate on is based on unauthorized and undisclosed "borrowing" of assets belonging to the American people.  

Bottom line, they have nothing extra to loan other banks that may be in trouble because of changes to the "volatility index".  

This is a year-to-year evaluation of "asset classes'.  Assets are rated from Tier 1 to Tier 3.  Cash and actual precious metals are rated as Tier 1 assets and considered liquid and stable.  Tier 2 assets, things like mortgages, are relatively not as liquid and may not be as stable, either, but still represent known value. Tier 3 includes all the risky, locked down, regulated, and questionable assets --- like unallocated silver delivery contracts --- that a bank may carry on its books.  

As a result of what has just gone on in the silver market and the gaping hole it revealed between silver on paper, in the form of delivery contracts which proved to be undeliverable, and actual silver in hand, "unallocated silver" went from being a Tier 1 asset to being a Tier 3 asset overnight.  

This means that the banks must suddenly "cover" that risky Tier 3 asset by holding at least 85% of its purported value as additional Tier 1 assets --- and if it doesn't or can't provide that additional (usually an additional 75% of the value of the silver delivery contracts the bank is holding) Tier 1 liquidity to back the "unallocated silver" contracts, the bank loses its license to operate in the BIS system.

This may soon become a -- yuck-yuck -- silver lining and unforeseen benefit to the smaller banks that are forced out of the central bank system because they got caught holding "unallocated" silver contracts they couldn't cover. 

The bank system will try to imply that these banks that couldn't cover the "extra 75%" of value demand were somehow doing something illegal or wrong.  They weren't.  They were playing by the central bank system rules -- which turned out to be risky.  Now, to cover its own butt, the central bank system has changed the rules with only 72 hours notice.  Over the weekend, no less. 

This becomes a game like Musical Chairs.  There is only so much actual silver in the market, and the math says that it is leveraged 32:1.   That is, they have 32 ounces of paper silver liability for every one ounce of actual silver held by the banks.  

How about cash?  They are in short supply of that, too.  

No matter how you cut it, there aren't enough Tier I assets available in the (very) short term to cover the unallocated silver contracts --- that is, not enough chairs for everyone, and the music just stopped.  

This process will expose large banks that skated the edge of legality without common sense, betting that the fractional reserve of about 10% of the actual metal, was sufficient to carry the demand for physical silver long enough for them to meet their existing delivery contracts. 

They were betting on the come, similar to kiting a check -- which is a  fraud scheme infesting all banks and brokerages that practice "fractional reserve banking".   

The customer thought (and was left to assume) that he was buying actual silver, whether it was "allocated" to him specifically, or was "unallocated" as part of a big pile of silver presumably sitting in a warehouse somewhere. 

Instead, there was no big pile of warehoused silver waiting to be allocated.

The banks greedily oversold silver delivery contracts without having the actual silver in hand.  This would be like selling you a horse and giving you a saddle, instead.  The unallocated silver contracts have value because they are a bank liability -- but a saddle isn't a horse and a silver delivery contract isn't silver. 

The banks never bought the silver they promised to deliver when they received the Buyer's funds and sold the delivery contracts. They just took the funds and skated along, betting that if the customer ever asked for physical silver, they could hurry up and buy enough silver to fulfill the order on the open market. 

The Buyer could do the same.  That's just the point. 

Now that the Dirty Deal, an institutionalized Substitution Fraud Scheme in which silver delivery contracts have been passed off as silver bought and paid for is obvious to the public --- now and only now, the Bank for International Settlements leaps out the closet like the Bogey Man and says, you've got 72 hours to cover these silver delivery contracts with Tier 1 assets, or you are out of business.... 

You can see why this reeks on all sides. 

The banks that the BIS is punishing were allowed to do this by the BIS.  All the banks involved had cause to know that they were doing something risky and fundamentally dishonest, so did the BIS, but it was allowed anyway.  Now, many of these banks will not be able to meet the new Tier 1 holdings requirements in addition to the devaluation of the paper silver contracts from Tier 1 to Tier 3 assets.  

The banks have only three options: somehow come up with enough physical silver or enough physical cash to add to their balance sheets, or face being cut off from the SWIFT monopoly which is a death sentence for them, or -- and here's the third option: they can come home to the land and soil jurisdiction, have their debts paid off, 

and join the Global Family Bank network as a Prosperity Center. 

Among all the other things that people have forgotten, including the difference between fact and fiction, it's time to remember the jurisdiction where all physical assets naturally belong.  

If your local bank is being forced to close its doors because of exposure to derivatives or because it is coming up short and is unable to cover silver delivery contracts it is holding, make sure that they know there is a Third Option.  

Joining the Global Family Bank network is easy and fast and  provides new avenues and new customer bases outside the monopolized central bank and SWIFT systems.  Within a week they can be back up and running with a new asset base, no monopoly to deal with, and a new mission that offers far better rewards.

International Public Notice: The Schtick Again Signed and Sealed ---and Related Public Testimony

 By Anna Von Reitz

The signed and sealed International Public Notice referenced is attached. 

https://annavonreitz.com/publishedannouncement.pdf 

The Public Notice and Action against the administration of the British Crown and Westminster, and specifically against the Office of the United States Secretary of State is as follows: 

(1) Failure to protect the persons of American State Nationals as required by The Constitution of the United States of America, Article IV, from being misidentified and registered as U.S. Citizens while they are helpless, non-cognizant, non-consensual babies; 

(2) Failure to fully inform parents concerning this above-referenced registration and later, failure to inform adult children subjected to British Territorial U.S. Citizen status without their knowledge or consent; 

(3) Failure to provide exemptions from levy and prepaid tax credit owed to Americans required under Federal Code Title XII; 

(4) Failure to create an accessible-to-the-public Mutual Offset Credit Exchange Exemption program allowing Americans to claim their exemptions and use their prepaid tax credit; 

(5) Failure, therefore, to provide remedy required to legalize Federal Reserve Notes as a "legal tender";

(6) Running an illegal currency scam based on misrepresentation and impersonation of Americans, both living and dead, and unlawful conversion of their assets as Crown property and collateral, including the illegal copyrighting of Given Names belonging to American State Nationals;

(7) Running an illegal and unlawful asset confiscation and racketeering scam under color of law, using "district courts" --- both Territorial (Military) Districts operating outside the District of Columbia misaddressing average Americans as British Territorial U.S. Citizens, and Municipal (City) Districts operating outside the City of Washington, DC, and outside the District of Columbia, misaddressing average Americans as "citizens of the United States"; 

(8) Running an illegal and unlawful offshore aggravated identity theft and money laundering scheme using the purloined copyrighted Given Names of American babies to create a British Merchantman's Estate Trust and a Municipal Roman Inferior Trust operated under the Given Names of the American victims; 

(9) Using both the IRS and Internal Revenue Service to construct fictional persons and fictional dossiers connected to the purloined Given Names of the American babies, to create fictional occupations and fictional income streams attached to these foreign persons, and then deliberately operating these fictional public trusts for purposes of illegal latching, illegal takings, false claims in commerce, money laundering and foisting off the debts of "similarly named" foreign corporations on innocent Americans;

(10)  All of the above, Items 6-10, have been calculated as a means to launder income streams, foist foreign corporate debts on living Americans, create offshore generation-skipping trusts in the names of the American victims, and illegally latch upon private property belonging to those same Americans under the pretense that the Americans owe the tax debts and other obligations of the foreign public trusts that have been created using their purloined Given Names --- without their conscious knowledge or consent;

(11) This summary testimony in the form of an affidavit is affirmed, signed, sealed and delivered to the Agents and Employees of the Principals involved in promoting this horrific series of crimes, and so also to the Principals themselves: Notice to Agents is Notice to Principals; Notice to Principals is Notice to Agents; 

(12) We affirm that we have firsthand knowledge of these gross crimes and breaches of trust and violations of Federal Service Contracts known as The Constitution of the United States and The Constitution of the United States of America;

(13) We affirm that our affirmation of these facts and circumstances are true and correct and not misleading, and all that we say within the body of this testimony conforms in land law to the penalties of perjury;

(14) We affirm that millions of Americans have been misrepresented and abused in the above-described manner, that trillions of dollars worth of American land, labor, precious metals, patents, copyrights, and other valuable assets have been purloined and commandeered by British Crown-affiliated and Inner City of London-affiliated and City of Rome-affiliated personnel for purposes of unjust enrichment and coercive control exercised in deliberate deceit, using fraudulent conveyances, aggravated identity theft, and unlawful conversion under color of law;

(15) We affirm that the guilty Territorial and Municipal parent corporations have been employing private armed corporation security personnel and mercenaries disguised as local and "state" police, as "State" National Guards, and  private for-hire mercenaries disguised as some parts of our national military to enforce these monopolies and unknowingly provide the muscle to carry out these trespasses and crimes against average law-abiding Americans; 

(16) We affirm that we ourselves have suffered their harassments, illegal trespasses and illegal seizures and pretenses of trusteeship and ownership interests that are unauthorized and for most Americans, unconscionable, and which involve False Claims of public employees against their employers and against the Public Interest of all Americans; 

(17) We affirm that these criminal activities have been ongoing and protected by deliberate secrecy since May of 1865;

(18) We affirm that no law presented by any Federal Subcontractor or "federalized" State Trust or State-of-State franchise that is not recorded in total and read into the Congressional Record three times for Public Cognizance can be applied to us or any other declared American State National living peaceably in the States of the Union; 

(19) We affirm that our provenance, lawful standing, and intent is fully established on the public records of these corporations and on our own Public Records as well; 

(20) We affirm that we are suffering a continuing pattern of harassment, ignorance, misapplication of law, false legal presumptions, and False Commercial Claims that have been pursued in self-interest by the Federal Service Providers and their State of State and State Trust Agents and Personnel in gross violation of their service contracts and international law;

(21) We affirm recent attempts by the perpetrators to secure settlement of American claims without providing full disclosure to the victims and while pretending to be saviors --- another stinking lot of fraud and deceit carried out under color of law; 

(22) We affirm that these undisclosed settlement offers are being addressed as if these less-than-pennies-on-a-dollar offers complete with unstated citizenship obligations attached, often amounting to a few thousands dollars attached to a lifetime of enslavement, do not amount to any equitable consideration owed to the victims and the victims cannot be forgiving the debts of these perpetrators or holding them harmless or accepting their citizenship, when the victims are kept unaware of the massive debts owed to them, unaware of the consequences of holding these perpetrators harmless, and unaware of the the coercive citizenship obligations attached to this so-called "restitution" and "restoration" payment program; 

(23) We affirm that as a matter of Law and moral decency, the American people must be fully informed;

(24) We affirm that all Americans are owed complete restoration and restitution, as much as possible, in all jurisdictions, air, land, and sea; 

(25) We affirm that we bring this testimony with clean hands and a clear conscience and with good faith, as living progeny and Lawful Persons native to this country and to the nation-states that King George recognized as "free, sovereign, and independent states" referenced in The Treaty of Paris issued in 1783, natural inheritors and claimants of all duties and treaties, service contracts, rights, titles, and material interests owed to this country and to us as living people:

This testimony is to be attached to and incorporated into our signed and sealed International Public Notice: The Schtick Again, being forwarded with this Public Testimony, as an extension and addendum and application of indictment and due process related to the crime(s) and omission(s) that have been practiced against American State Nationals  by our public servants for the past six (6) generations and particularly by the Office of the United States Secretary of State as herein reported.   

Take notice that there is no statute of limitations applicable to crimes of fraud and impersonation, deliberate trespass, treason, unlawful conversion, or inland piracy under color of law. 

Take notice that these issues have already been addressed by our Court of Record and State Court as of April 14th 2014 and are owed immediate correction in our favor by the Principals, and the Trustees and the Administrators and the members of the Bar Associations that are responsible for these crimes and misrepresentations against us. 

Take notice that the unincorporated and lawful government provided by The United States of America, our Federation of States, and by our State Assemblies, remains in operation, is properly provenanced and declared and recorded and has been in Session for more than five (5) years.  No American State National has ever been "stateless" or subject to salvage. 

Take notice that these reported acts of misadministration, misrepresentation, and impersonation resulting in widespread crimes of personage and barratry in both district courts and state-of-state courts have been under judgment and due process since 1998 and there is no plausible excuse nor claim of plausible deniability left for those who fail to recognize the American State Nationals who stand in their lawful capacity and claim their natural rights and contractual exemptions.  

All help, protection, and assistance including exoneration of prior court cases and decisions and enforcement actions undertaken under False Presumptions of public trust interest --- is required. 

So said, so signed, so sealed and Issued by:

Sexagesima Sunday

 Rev. Fr. Leonard Goffine's

The Church's Year

In the Introit of this day's Mass, the Church brings before us one who seeks to be loosed from his sins, and calls on God for help and assistance. Arise, why sleepest thou , O Lord? arise, and cast us not off to the end: why turnest thou thy face away, and forgettest our trouble? Our belly hath cleaved to the earth: arise, O Lord, help us and deliver us. O God, we have heard with our ears; our Fathers have declared to us. (Ps. XLIII. 23. 25.) Glory be to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

COLLECT O God, who seest that we trust not in aught we do; mercifully grant that by the protection of the Doctor of the Gentiles we may be defended against all adversities. Through our Lord Jesus Christ Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee, in the Unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end, Amen.

EPISTLE (II. Cor. XI. 19-33; to XII. 1-9,) Brethren, you gladly suffer the foolish; whereas yourselves are wise. For you suffer if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take from you, if a man be lifted up, if a man strike you on the face. I speak according to dishonor, as if we had been weak in this part. Wherein if any man dare (I speak foolishly), I dare also. Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I. Are they the ministers of Christ (I speak as one less wise,) I am more: in many more labors, in prisons more frequently, in stripes above measure, in deaths often. Of the Jews five times did I receive forty stripes save one. Thrice was I beaten with rods; once was I stoned; thrice I suffered shipwreck; a night and a day I was in the depth of the sea. In journeying often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils from my own nation, in perils from the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils from false brethren. In labor and painfulness, in much watchings, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness; besides those things which are without, my daily instance, the solicitude for all the Churches. Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is scandalized, and I am not on fire? If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things that concern my infirmity. The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed forever, knoweth that I lie not. At Damascus the governor of the nation under Aretas the king, guarded the city of the Damascenes to apprehend me; and through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and so escaped his hands. If I must glory (it is not expedient indeed); but I will come to the visions and revelations of the Lord. I know a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in, the body I know not, or out of the body, I know not, God knoweth): such an one rapt even to the third heaven. And I know such a man (whether in the body or out of the body, I cannot tell, God knoweth) : that he was caught up into paradise; and heard secret words, which it is not granted to man to utter. For such an one I will glory; but for myself I will glory nothing, but in my infirmities. For though I should have a mind to glory, I shall not be foolish; for I will say the truth. But I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth in me, or anything he heareth from me. And lest the greatness of the revelations should       exalt me, there was given me a sting of my flesh, an angel of Satan, to buffet me. For, which thing thrice I besought the Lord, that it might depart from me. And he said to me: My grace is sufficient for thee; for power is made perfect in infirmity. Gladly therefore will I glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may dwell in me.

Why is St. Paul mentioned in the Mass of this day, and why is this epistle read?

Because in Rome the Station or Church service is held on this day in the Church of St. Paul and because the Church continues to encourage us to work according to the example given by St. Paul who, with the grace of God, accomplished and suffered so much; also because we should labor for the honor of God and the salvation of our souls and faithfully cooperate with the grace of God. 

Why, an the beginning of this epistle, does St. Paul say so much an his own praise?

Not out of ambition for honor and glory, but to honor God, and for the love and advantage of the Corinthians, who allowed themselves to be deceived by mercenary impostors and false prophets; that he might make public the craftiness of those deceivers who assumed the appearance of the true apostles, as Satan took the form of a good angel. To shame these, and to remove the obstacles they had placed in the way of the gospel, St. Paul was obliged to reveal to the Corinthians the things he had performed and endured in propagating the holy gospel. -By trials and sufferings is the true apostle known; the false apostles, the hirelings, as Christ calls them, only care for their own bodies, for temporal advantages, not for the salvation of souls. We see this exemplified in our days by the heretical missionaries who, when there is suffering, when there is martyrdom, take to flight, for their eyes are directed only to the present life and a large income, while the Catholic missionaries rejoice if, for Christ's sake, and for the salvation of souls, they are permitted to suffer, and made worthy to endure the cruel death of the martyr.

Of whom does St. Paul relate such marvels?

Of himself, but from humility and modesty he does not say so; fourteen years before, forty-four years after the birth of Christ, St. Paul was rapt to the third heaven, that is, to the abode of happy spirits; but to preserve him in humility God permitted Satan to use the concupiscence of the flesh, which is like a sting in the body of man, as a temptation to the apostle, and by which he was continually tormented.

ASPIRATION Grant me, O God,. thy grace that in these evil days of false doctrines I may remain stead fast to Thy holy gospel which in the holy Catholic Church remains pure and unchanged; never let me be deterred from obeying its precepts, neither by the charms of the world nor by the mockery and reproaches of the wicked.

GOSPEL (Luke VIII. 4-15.) At that time, when very great multitude was gathered together and hastened out of the cities unto him, he spoke by a similitude: The sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the wayside; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. And other some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it had no moisture. And other some fell among thorns; and the thorns growing up with it, choked it. And other some fell upon good ground; and being sprung up, yielded fruit a hundredfold. Saying these things, he cried out: He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. And his disciples asked him what this parable might be. To whom he said: To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God, but to the rest in parables; that seeing, they may not see, and hearing, they may not understand. Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. And they by the way-side are they that hear: then the devil cometh, and taketh the word out of their heart, lest believing they should be saved. Now they upon the rock are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no roots, for they believe for a while, and in time of temptation they fall away. And that which fell among thorns are they who have heard, and going their way, are choked with the cares arid riche, and pleasures of this life, and yield no fruit. But that on the good ground are they who, in a good and perfect heart, hearing the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit in patience.

Why is the Word of God compared to a seed?

Because from the word of God germinates the fruit of good works, as from good seed grows good fruit; as it is impossible, therefore, for an unsowed field to produce good fruit, so is it impossible for man without the seed of God's word to produce good fruits of the spirit.

Why does Christ cry out an the parable: He that hath ears to hear, let him hear?

Because of the importance and necessity of the doctrine which was contained in the parable. For to hear the word of God is absolutely necessary for salvation, as the Apostle indicates: How shall they believe him (Jesus) of whom they have not heard? (Rom. X. 14.) Jesus calls those happy who hear the word of God and keep it. (Luke XI. 28.) And on this subject St. Augustine says: "Be assured, my brethren, that as the body becomes weakened by want and hunger, and wastes to a mere shadow, so the soul that is not nourished by the word of God, becomes shrunken, worthless and unfit for any good work."

Whence comes so much cockle of evil, when the seed of God's word is so abundantly sowed?

Because, as Christ says, the seed falls now by the wayside, now upon a rock, now among thorns, seldom upon good soil, that is to say, those who hear the word of God are as a highway, over which many distracting thoughts are traveling which tread down the scattered seed, or, like fowls of the air devour it; they are like rocks, hardened by their prejudices or repeated crimes, so that the divine word cannot take root; again, they are so overgrown by the thorns of worldly cares, the constant desire for wealth and riches, and sensual delights, that even if they receive the seed, it is unable to grow and bear fruit.

ON THE POWER OF GOD’S WORD

The word of God is compared, by the Prophet Jeremias, to a hammer which crushes hearts as hard as rocks, and to a fire that dries up the swamps of vice, and consumes inveterate evil habits. (Jer. XXIII. 29.) The Psalmist compares it to thunder that makes all tremble, a storm-wind that bends and breaks the cedars of Lebanon, that is, proud and obstinate spirits; a light that dispels the darkness of ignorance; and a remedy that cures sin. (Ps. XXVIII. 3. 5., CXVIII. 105.) St. Paul compares it to a sword that divides the body from the soul, that is, the carnal desires from the spirit; (Hebr. IV. 12.) the Apostle James to a mirror in which man sees his stains and his wrongs. (Jam. I, 23.) the Prophet Isaias to a precious rain that moistens the soil of the soul and fertilizes it; (Isai: LV. 10. 11.) and Jesus Himself compares it to a seed that when it falls on good ground, brings forth fruit a hundredfold. (Luke VIII. 8.) One single grain of this divine seed produced the most marvellous fruits of sanctity in St. Augustine, St. Anthony the Great, in St. Nicholas of Tolentino, and others; for St. Augustine was converted by the words: "Let us walk honestly as in the day: not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and impurities, not in contention and envy." (Rom. XIII. 13.) St. Anthony by the words. If thou wilt be perfect, go, sell what thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shaft have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me." (Matt XIX. 21.) Nicholas of Tolentino was brought to Christian perfection by the words: "Love not the world, nor the things which are in the world. (I. John II. 15.)

How should we prepare ourselves to be benefited by the word of God?

We must be good, well-tilled soil, that is, we must have a heart that loves truth, desires to learn, and humbly and sincerely seeks salvation; we must listen to the word of God with due preparation and attention, keep the divine truths we have heard, in our heart, frequently consider and strive to fulfil them.

What should be done before the sermon?

We should endeavor to purify our conscience, for, as St. Chrysostom demands; "Who would pour precious juice into a vessel that is not clean, without first washing it?" We should, therefore, at least cleanse our hearts by an ardent sorrow for our sins, because the spirit of truth enters not into the sinful soul; (Wisd. I. 4.) we should ask the Holy Ghost for the necessary enlightenment, for little or no fruit can be obtained from a sermon if it is not united with prayer; we should listen to the sermon with a good motive; that is, with a view of hearing something edifying and instructive; if we attend only through curiosity, the desire to hear something new, to criticize the preacher, or to see and to be seen, we are like the Pharisees who for such and similar motives went to hear Christ and derived no benefit therefrom. “As a straight sword goes not into a crooked sheath, so the word of God enters not into a heart that is filled with improper motives." We should strive to direct, our minds rightly, that is, to dispel all temporal thoughts, all needless distraction, otherwise the wholesome words would fall but upon the ears, would not penetrate the heart, and the words of Christ be fulfilled: They have ears, and hear not.

How should we comfort ourselves during the sermon?

We should listen to the sermon with earnest, reverent attention, for God speaks to us through His priests, and Christ says to them: Who hears you, hears me. (Luke X. 16.) We must listen to the priests, therefore, not as to men, but as to God's ambassadors, for every priest can say with St. Paul: We are ambassadors for Christ, God, as it were, exhorting by us. (II. Cor. V. 20.) "If," says St. Chrysostom, "when the letter of a king is read, the greatest quiet and attention prevails, that nothing may be lost, how much more should we listen with reverence and perfect silence to the. word of God?"           The word of God is, and ever will be, a divine seed, which, when properly received, produces precious fruit, by what priest soever sowed; for in the sowing it matters not what priest sows, but what soil is sowed. Be careful, also, that you do not apply that which is said to others, but take it to yourself, or the sermon will be of no benefit to you. Are you free from those vices which the preacher decries and against which he battles? then, thank God, but do not despise others who are perhaps laboring under them, rather pray that they may be released and you preserved from falling into them. Keep also. from sleeping, talking, and other distractions, and remember, that whoever is of God, also willingly hears his word. (John VIII. 47.)

What should be done after the sermon?

We should then strive to put into practice the good we have heard, for God justifies not those who hear the law, but those who keep it, (Rom. II. 13.) and those who hear the word of God and do not conform their lives to it, are like the man who looks into the mirror, and having looked into it goes away, and presently forgets what manner of man he is. (Fam. I. 23. 24.) To practice that which has been heard, it is above all necessary that it should be kept constantly in mind, and thoughtfully considered. St. Bernard says: "Preserve the word of God as you would meat for your body, for it is a life-giving bread, and the food of your soul. Happy those, says Christ, who keep it. Receive it, therefore, into your soul's interior, and let it reach your morals and your actions."

That food which cannot be digested, or is at once thrown out, is useless; the food should be well masticated, retained, and by the digestive powers worked up into good blood. So not only on the day, but often during the week, that which was heard in the sermon should be thought of and put into practice. Speak of it to others, thus will much idle talk be saved, many souls with the grace of God roused to good, and enlightened in regard to the evil they had not before seen in themselves and in future will avoid. Let us listen to others when they repeat what was said in the sermon. Heads of families should require their children and domestics to relate what they have heard preached. Let us also entreat God to give us grace that we may be enabled to practice the precepts given us.

PRAYER How much am I shamed, O my God, that the seed of Thy Divine word, which Thou hast sowed so often and so abundantly in my heart, has brought forth so little fruit! Ah! have mercy on me, and so change my heart, that it may become good soil, in which Thy word may take root, grow without hindrance, and finally bring forth fruits of salvation. Amen.

Why Silver Moves Like This — Understanding Silver Volatility

https://youtu.be/1nDdf2oEeTU

Silver just suffered a sharp selloff — down roughly 17% in a single day — and it immediately triggered a familiar reaction: claims of manipulation, paper slams, and once‑in‑a‑trillion‑years events. 

But before jumping to conclusions, it’s worth asking a more useful question: why does silver behave this way in the first place? 

In this video, Alan Hibbard steps back from the noise to explain where silver’s extreme volatility actually comes from. The takeaway is simple but important: moves like this aren’t as rare — or as mysterious — as they’re often made out to be. 

-------------------------------------

By Paul Stramer

In 2024 we started using the new mint in Indiana to stamp and ship our silver rounds, after over 18 years with the previous mint in Utah.

The mint is now experiencing a larger volume of orders and has extended their production schedule up to six to eight weeks for new orders.

 We expect our volume to rise also, and that run has already started.

 Here are some of the things that are changing for the better for you, our customers.

1. The old 500 ounce minimum order is gone. The new minimum order is now 50 ounces. 

2. They will be very competitive in their price structure, and right now we are offering a price plan based on the volume of metal in each order. See below.

These will be shipped by UPS Ground, fully insured.

 We will still be accepting wire transfers, or cashiers checks like always. 

We can only lock an order after we have received the funds. Here is the formula we use to figure your price.

Go to this link on Kitco.com and look up the ask price of silver. 

https://www.kitco.com/price/precious-metals

It's in the first table on that page. 

The mint is closed Friday, through Sunday, so we can't lock an order on those days.

For a 60 oz. to 99 oz. order, take the ask price and add $5.00

For a 100 oz. to 199 oz. order, take the ask price and add $4.50. 

For a 200 oz. to 299 oz. order, take the ask price and add $4.25. 

For a 300 oz. to 999 oz. order, take the ask price and add $3.75. 

All orders over 1000 ounces will be $3.50 over spot ask price.

Take that number times the number of ounces (50 or over) and then add $30.00 for each 60 to 99 ounce box for shipping, or for large orders add $50 per 500 ounce box for shipping.

Once we have your funds we will run this same formula to finalize the price with shipping.

Be sure to call us when you are ready to order so we can answer your questions.

When you call I will get your email address and send you the bank info for wire transfers or the mailing info for your payment. You can then reply with your shipping address for UPS.

If you have any questions here is my contact info.

Granna Bytes: Feeling Feisty?

 By Anna Von Reitz

Somehow the word got out that I have a hoarse sore throat today.  That part is true, complete with swollen lymph nodes. Thanks everyone on the Coordinator Call for giving me a night off.  Any burning questions please send to my regular email with subject line "Coordinator's Call" and I will try my best to get to them. 

The geoengineered "storm of the century" was no match for the earnest Christians in Texas and others at other waypoints of the massive Arctic jetstream-fueled storm trajectory.  What was intended to be an unobstructive belly punch with all the force of a sledge hammer aimed at the same part of North Carolina that suffered most from Hurricane Helene, got sidetracked, braked, slowed, warmed, and dissipated.  

Instead of minus 80 Arctic temperatures flash freezing thousands of small towns and only God knows how many people and animals, the worst temperature reported was minus 26, which is bad enough, but nothing even remotely approaching a true Arctic blast.  

Let's get a perspective here --- at minus 80 the water vapor in the air cracks and shatters like glass.  You can't breathe it into your lungs without a mask. You would be flash frozen from the inside out and your lungs would bleed out.  Anyone exposed to that kind of cold without space age equipment is dead meat.  

And that's what certain people wanted to send into the unprepared and unsuspecting heart of America.  

It was coming from the west and had to hit Texas first, and don't you know, those faithful folk forced the Jetstream right up and over their State, literally forcing it to curve upward and shoving it far North,  breaking its strength so that it didn't make any substantial landfall in Texas at all.  Good work, Texas!  Your faith saved you from a truly nasty experience and saved everyone else, too, because you blocked the punch and scattered the whole driving force of the storm. 

This is a power that we all have that we have never been taught, to be able to quiet and redirect storms, call the winds, and moderate weather.   This is a mind-heart function -- one among many -- and it is just a matter of learning and practicing and ultimately, working together.  This first exercise was a bit rough.  

We weren't all focused on any particular temperature range, except "warmer" so, warmer it was, by a comfortable lot --- but that then caused ice storms in some areas. Next time we will all just picture a gentle snowfall suitable for making snowmen.  Or no snow at all.  

As you get more adept at doing this, you will be able to pick up one end or edge of the storm and move it out to sea or over an unpopulated mountain range.  Now that we have remembered that we have this ability and are exercising it, they will be a lot more circumspect.  

We will need volunteer weather (rat) watchers to keep an eye on developing major storm fronts and earthquake swarms and volcanic activity.  If we work together we can quiet all these phenomena, too.  

I know some of you noticed how many of the mainstream weathermen were oddly joyous about the prospect of a devastating winter storm of unprecedented strength, guaranteed to strand and injure and kill all sorts of unwary people across many states.  

I know some of you noticed that western North Carolina was being targeted again, first from the East and next from the west, once in the summer, once in the winter.  I know some of you thought -- what's up with that?  Why North Carolina? 

Because North Carolina has some of the richest and easiest to mine mineral riches in The United States.  THEY want to depopulate North Carolina using these unnatural disasters so that the big mining companies can move in and buy up the land and the mineral rights for pennies, and rip and pillage the land with no pesky local "concerns" or private landowners to deal with.  

Send their ill-intent and greed right back to them.  Imagine the mining companies leering over maps of the North Carolina Hill Country.  Imagine the people of western North Carolina, Appalachia, poorest of the poor, clinging to their beautiful impossibly rugged land, generations of people used to bare feet in the summer and clothes made out of hand-me-downs and drapes from the Goodwill stores. 

Imagine those arrogant, smug, high tech, richer than Midas mining corporation executives bent on cheating these poor people out of the only thing they've got, the only thing they love besides each other and their animals?  Their land.  And the riches beneath their feet. 

Imagine those Fat Cats hiring DARPA and invasive tech contractors to geoengineer Hurricane Helene and hurl it with unnatural fury at Asheville, North Carolina, and the Hill Country just beyond.  Imagine them thinking that we won't see them or know what's going on?  Won't even suspect that all this violent horrific "weather" is anything but "natural"?  Maybe even mistake it for the result of "climate change".  

Let's make them think again.  

Let's visualize their greed and nastiness as "sticky fingers", long, thin, clutching fingers with claw-like fingernails, all covered in a thick coating of greenish-black glue that they are using to glom onto everything in sight, yes, using this slime to cover over entire towns, drowning people and animals in their gunk, destroying homes and businesses, laying waste to everything so they can buy the land and mineral rights for a song....  

And now, bring your mind and your heart together deep in the center of your being, and imagine breaking those sticky fingers, breaking their goo-covered hands, and shoving the whole nasty mess straight up against their faces and wiping it all down the front of their perfect designer suits and silk ties.  

Not so smart and perky now, are they?  They are looking scared and staring at the goo and their ruined hands and they are so stunned -- they just can't believe this is happening to them, instead of some  Hillbilly hick from Coots Corner, North Carolina. 

You aren't doing anything wrong here, you are just sending back what they sent to you; it was their intent to cripple and poison and break the people of North Carolina for fun and profit. Reflect that back to them, like a mirror, so that they get to see it and feel it and taste it --- and most of all, learn from it. 

They've been living in their chrome and glass office buildings and been hypnotized in front of their computer screens for so long that they have totally lost touch with the actual world.  They sat in air conditioned comfort and watched the film footage rolling in from Hurricane Helene and to them, it was just another movie.  They felt nothing at all for the widows and the orphans. They didn't smell the rotting flesh barely buried in brush piles. 

They congratulated themselves on the "success" of their plan.  They evaluated all the things that didn't work out quite as anticipated.  They rated the subcontractors, like FEMA, that they hired.  They identified politicians who stood up for the people and targeted them for removal in the next elections.  All that suffering, all that destruction, was just business for them.  

This planned winter storm would have been more of the same, and maybe a little worse in terms of death tolls --- except that Yeshuah reminded you of who you truly are.  

Keep on remembering. 

Keep a-goin; imagine that you have a whole flood of this noxious thick greenish-black glue in a fire hose, and you just walk into the Project Manager's Office at DARPA and let loose.  I mean, grab a friend and take hold of that hose end and let it buck.  You flood his office with the gunk. You leave him and his desk and all his paperwork floating in it, and shut the door. 

And all his fancy-dancy armed defense and deterrent drones?  All their little camera eyes see is the thick film of glue flowing over them as they are caught in mid-air by the spewing goo, and thrown against the wall like so many flies on a fly strip.  

When you walk back out of the building all the soldiers are standing around checking the time of day.  A few give you a shifty-eyed glance like, "Whoa, man...." but it's clear they aren't messing with you or offering any defense for the glue encrusted slob who masterminded and unleashed Hurricane Helene. 

There's some things that we are all 100% agreed upon.  No big discussion needed.  We just follow the energy trace back to the source and blow it away.  No waiting for yesterday.  

All those boys on Wall Street and kicking rubber at the Pentagon don't really have a clue what "Spiritual Warfare" is, but now you are getting a glimpse.  You don't even have to leave your rocking chair. 

No need to buy a gun.  

All those criminals in Washington, those actors on the stage, ramming through one damning piece of legislation after another, faster than they can pretend to read their "Acts", they are looking at each other in confusion and dismay.  

They have the sudden feeling that a Jinn the size of the capitol building just picked them up and smacked them down; they've got the broken ribs to prove it, but who?  But where?  But how?  Forget January 6th, Bubba. 

The Sons of the True God just remembered who they are. 

Even if you felt silly standing there in your kitchen, your closet, your bedroom, pushing back the Arctic Jetstream with nothing but your mind and heart, oh, and 33 trillion volts of compressed energy--- you did it, and now you know that it worked. 

Yeshuah told you this day would come.  He said you'd do greater miracles.  And you will.  You have already begun. 

So, I just have just one thing to ask you kids -- do you feel feisty?   

Are you once-and- for-all-time done with evil? Been there? Done that?

Well, then, Buttercups, time to open up the storm drains and open up your minds and open up your hands to do your will upon the Earth. 

It's time to put down the Unholy Roman Empire like the dirty, dying, rabid dog it is and has chosen to become.  

It's time to flush the tainted air and evil spirits out of Oxford and Cambridge, Harvard and Stanford, and every other college and university you can think of.  

It's time to banish the diseases and ill-will foisted off on the innocent people of this planet. 

Time to end the rule of the Necromancers in black robes who have come to murder and steal for their Master.   Let them no longer be remembered. 

Visit the righteousness of the True God on Scotland, the other epicenter for all of this misery and greed and spite: finally put an end to the White Worm eating its slow way into the breast of Mt. Snowden; flush the Monsters out of Glamis Castle, too; vaporize them in the morning light. 

Let us be away before break of day and deep into the night,  letting our consciousness rove and detect every last lie, every note that doesn't ring true, every faintest trace of Old Shemyaza and his baneful crew. 

Let it be so. 

Granna
