For All The State Jural Assemblies - 26 The National Jurisdiction: Soil


By Anna Von Reitz

In our discussion of the American Government that we are heir to, we identified three "unions" of various kinds of "states" that existed long prior to the creation of the Federal Government. 

They were and are:

The United States -- a union of soil jurisdiction "landed (e)states"  formed by the former colonies via Unanimous Declaration issued July 1, 1776, published July 4, 1776. This is our "national jurisdiction". Each state has defined geographical boundaries.

The United States of America - a federation of Land Jurisdiction States formed September 9, 1776 for the purpose of joint operations in international jurisdiction, including the international land and sea jurisdictions. This is our international jurisdiction. Each State has defined geographical boundaries.

The States of America -- a confederation of inchoate "States of States" formed under The Articles of Confederation, March 1, 1781, for the purpose of conducting the business of the States in global commercial jurisdiction.  These "Federal States of States" have no defined geographical boundaries and exist only on paper.  (These are the "Missing" Federal States of States.)

Please note --- all this is our American Government, which existed prior to and which created the Federal Government as an "instrumentality" to provide services to the States and People of this country.

Let's look briefly at our "national jurisdiction" --- the soil jurisdiction of each state in The United States.

Imagine the familiar outline of your State of the Union.  Got it? 

Now pretend you are slicing it like a layer cake horizontally, taking the top six inches of the soil off.  It has the same outline and shape, but not much depth. 
This is your state's national soil jurisdiction.

We call all the rest underneath the soil "the land". The land is also shaped exactly like the outline of your State of the Union, but it is a much thicker layer, miles deep, and it forms your State's international land jurisdiction.  

Together we call this "the land and soil" of your State of the Union.  The two jurisdictions -- the national soil jurisdiction state and the international Land Jurisdiction State -- are both geographically defined and both work together hand in glove.

So, what does the "national" soil jurisdiction of your State do and how does it operate? 

The first thing it does is guarantee local control. 

This is the level of the "state republics" and "republican states" guaranteed by the constitutional contracts.

The soil level states are seldom referenced in print, but when they are, they appear in all small letters: maine, virginia, florida, etc.  These are the member states of The United States.

When we are born we all enter the world via the soil jurisdiction of our state, and are in the political status of a "man of the soil" known as "jus soli" or a "state national". 

This determines our basic nationality. We are, for example, "virginians" and because we are "virginians" we are also considered "Virginians".  This in turn identifies us as "Americans" for international purposes.  

When we are born, we are not "citizens" of anything.

Being a "citizen" implies an obligation to serve a government.  It is patently ridiculous to claim that a newborn baby has an obligation to serve any government, nonetheless, certain disreputable governmental services corporations have made exactly such claims against babies born in America for several generations. This is part of what we need to address.

It is the "jus soli" status of the baby that leads to the political status at the State level of State National.  Neither one have any obligation to serve any government at all; they are required to obey the Public Law and keep the peace and other than that, they are free as birds.

The basic dictum of the national soil jurisdiction is, "Harm none and be harmed none."

Likewise, the republic states and their state republics are seldom referenced in print and even more seldom are they officially populated and used to conduct business --- but they can be.  This results in a quorum of state nationals opting to act as state citizens, and invoking the national soil jurisdiction of their State of the Union to conduct national-level business.

For these purposes, Texas is a nation.  Pennsylvania is a nation. 

The soil jurisdiction also includes surface water, so each state republic also has a republic of state attached to it, and for business purposes, you have  "The Texas Republic" operating the soil jurisdiction of Texas and "The Republic of Texas" operating the surface water jurisdiction of Texas.

All of these entities are unincorporated and operate as unincorporated businesses. 

They are owned and operated by the people who are native to Texas and those who have been "naturalized".

Naturalization at the State level is a process of having a home inside the borders of the State for at least a year and a day, without committing any felonies or taking public assistance, and firmly declaring on the public record your desire and intention (after meeting the basic requirements) to make that State your permanent home.

In the old days this was done by taking out three small ads in the local papers over a period of 90 days, and there is still no obstruction to doing this now.  In this way, a guy from Florida can adopt Texas as his home, for example, or a "U.S. Citizen" born in Croatia or Washington, DC, can become a Minnesotan.

Obviously, the soil is like the skin on a body.  By owning and controlling the skin, the local people retain the vast majority of the power of government if they act in their proper capacity and organize to do so.  Everyone is standing on the soil, so the power of arrest basically belongs to the soil jurisdiction and the republican state authorities and their county/County Sheriffs.

However, operating the Soil and Land jurisdictions of our States of the Union requires us to forswear and expatriate from any other citizenship, including any federal citizenship.

Most Americans do not realize that they have been kidnapped on paper into a foreign jurisdiction and misidentified as either "United States Citizens" or "Citizens of the United States" or "US CITIZENS" almost from birth, a circumstance that keeps us from actually owning land and controlling our own assets. 

In fact, most States of the Union became severely de-populated prior to this current effort, simply because people didn't realize that they were the victims of unconscionable contracting activities by their own employees.

Coming home to the "land and soil" of your State means that you are eligible to inherit all that you have been deprived of, that you come under the Public Law, instead of any private "Statutory Law", that you can exercise local control of your land and surface water resources, and that you can operate your "republican states" ---that is, the national soil jurisdiction of your State of the Union, again. 

So long as you see the advantage of doing so and educate yourselves and declare your birthright political status--- and work with others of like-mind to restore the "land and soil" jurisdiction government owed to this country--- there isn't a power on Earth than can stop you from inheriting and controlling what is rightfully yours.

By Their Works


By Anna Von Reitz

I have always preferred to think of myself as a "Christian", a member of the Universal Church, and have always regarded doctrinal and denominational differences as big question marks. 

There may indeed be only one correct doctrine in the end, but just as easily there might be no correct doctrine ever created by man.  The same goes for denominations.  So far as I know, God did not come down to Earth and declare a schism between Catholics and Methodists and Baptists and Mennonites and Baptists and....  men and their differing opinions did all that.
Judging from the number of times the Disciples had to be directly corrected, and even with the help of the Holy Spirit ---accounting for our egos, bad hearing, temptations, and other faults--- I don't put my faith in doctrines promulgated by men. 
This is why I have an inclusive and broad view of religion. So long as people are trying to live honorable and peaceful lives, taking care of each other and their families and communities, I tend to call that "good". Live and let live.

We will all get our corrections when the time comes.

But when "Christians" harbor organized crime within their Church and benefit from it....

When they act as Trustees in Gross Breach of Trust with respect to entire countries and billions of people suffer....

When they take crimes and sins like pedophilia and make them into sacraments....

When there is no end to this relativism and wishy-washy spineless lack of basic ethics and honesty....

When they twist any reasonable plausible recognizable definition of "Christianity" into something else....

Then I protest -- because they are not just giving themselves a bad name, they are disgracing all those who answer to the name "Christian".

And they are disgracing Christ. 
If a Christian will not stand up for the memory of Yeshuah and his Teaching and his Living Spirit, who will?
I have been polite. I have been patient. I have been supportive of Church reform all across the board. 
I have often stood in the gap and defended people who are trying to do the right thing though their sins be as scarlet and also defended the millions of completely innocent Christians who are being disgraced and misrepresented.

Yes, I have called forth the Loyal Angels of the Living God and I am not ever going to be wishy-washy about that. Nor will I apologize.    

Being a Christian is not a "relative thing" subject to "interpretation" via some kind of "fluid definition" that suddenly includes cannibalism and the rape of little children. No.

That's not "Christianity" you feckless, shameless Liars.

That's Satanism, and by your works you shall be known.

For All The State Jural Assemblies - 25 State Electors, State Nationals, and State Citizens


By Anna Von Reitz

Okay, let's try it again:

State Nationals = everyone born within the physical geographical borders of a State. A National has no particular duty to serve the State other than to obey the Public Law (Non-Statutory Law)  and keep the peace.

State Citizens = those State Nationals who additionally choose to serve the State Government in some capacity, such as Jurors, Militia Members, elected officials, or hired officers.

State Electors = those State Nationals who own land in the State and meet other requirements such as legal age, etc., to participate in State Elections.

You can be either: (1) a State National or (2) a State Citizen.

Being a State National or a State Citizen does not necessarily mean that you qualify to be a State Elector.  You can be part of the State Jural Assembly and serve as a Juror without being a State Elector.  You can be elected to a Public Office, such as Sheriff, without being able to vote for yourself.

This is because of the pesky issue of letting non-landowners vote on questions that only affect landowners, and therefore the requirement that State Electors be landowners.

Answers to Common Questions and Misconceptions for the Jural Assemblies


By Anna Von Reitz

1. Misconception Number One: that colored people and women are not welcome to join State Jural Assemblies.

This idea derives from the fact that to be on safe ground legally and lawfully, the State Jural Assemblies need to go back and pick up where at least some of them left off -- in 1860.  They need to re-establish a Quorum of Jurors qualified by 1860 standards, and that Quorum then needs to update the membership rules to officially include people of color and women. 

Please note that in the days of slavery there were both white and colored slaves in this country, and "indentured servants" too --- none of whom could act as State Electors. 

The real qualifier was land ownership and neither slaves nor indentured servants could own land, hence, could not act as Electors.

However, both black men and Native men who were Free and who owned land in a State, could act as State Jural Assembly Members and still can.

The important idea behind all this was that nobody not tied to the State by commitment to the Land of that State should have a voice in the affairs of that State. 

If you think about this, it is a reasonable requirement: otherwise, people  passing through the State could cast votes with no skin in the game. They could, with a large enough population of transients (known as "residents"), dictate to and obligate those people who are actually committed to living in and building their businesses in that State.  

We see some attempt at this with the current Border Crisis, where people  foreign to the State and with no actual material commitment to say, California, are influencing public policy and helping themselves to public assistance and dictating elections --- all with no substantial actual and material commitment to California.

This is why our States all require Electors to hold only one citizenship --- State Citizenship.  They also require State Citizens to be landowners.  Color requirements as such, don't actually exist in the American States and never did, except in limited portions of the Deep South.

The more potent issue in 1860 and today is the capacity in which we are acting. 

The affect of having the Territorial Congress arbitrarily "confer" citizenships on people and then claiming that they are acting as "persons" via a process of undisclosed enfranchisement, has established a situation in which average Americans are now almost uniformly "presumed" to be in the condition of either indentured servitude to the Queen, or slaves owned by the Municipal United States Government, or both.  

It isn't until we take action to Expatriate from any such presumed federal citizenship that we can actually own land in fact, and therefore qualify as State Citizens and as State Electors.

The question of the landownership requirement continues to be contentious. It has been argued in some States that our bodies are made of "dust" and "to dust returneth", and therefore all men and women are "landowners". This may serve the esoteric point, but doesn't answer the actual dilemma posed by non-landowners voting on issues that don't impact them, but which do impose increased tax burdens on landowners.

Women in Europe and America were able to own land and had been able to own land for centuries prior to 1860, so landownership was not the crux of the matter for women.  It was more the prevailing idea that women were gentle and needed at home,  ill-suited to the hurly-burly of politics and demands of public office, that kept them from being included in Jural Assemblies. 

Now that two World Wars and the Civil War itself have convinced us otherwise, women have claimed (and earned) equal rights, and merely updating the old State Jural Assembly rules suffices.  

It's a small burden to find 30 free men above the age of 21 who are claiming their birthright political status and who are land owners, to hold the first quorum meeting for each State Jural Assembly, but it is one that assures that the further actions of the Assemblies going forward are properly sanctioned and brought up to date.

And in no case does any of this prevent anyone at any time from: (1) expatriating from federal citizenship status, (2) participating in the State Jural Assembly organizational activities and meetings, (3) making sure that their Assembly is fully staffed, fully informed, and on firm ground going forward.

2. Misconception Number 2: that people have to give up things like Social Security payments or medical coverage owed to them by Federal Government agencies, if they reclaim their birthright political status.

Most Americans never knowingly left their birthright political status.  This was merely a self-interested legal presumption being misapplied to millions of people based on equally self-interested falsification of registration documents and improper demands that we "apply" for Social Security, "register" to vote in what appeared to be public elections, and so on.

Having to take action to rebut this legal presumption is anti-intuitive to most people and the resulting confusion is paralyzing, especially when they assume that they will lose pension dividends and health care and other things of value that they are owed. 

Fortunately, the only thing we lose is the ability to vote in private elections hosted by foreign corporations, which is quickly made up for, as we hold our own public elections, instead.

Once we return our Given Names (also known as Trade Names) to the land and soil jurisdiction of our States of the Union, we are no longer in La-La-Land, and we can no longer be "presumed" to be in the Queen's service or the Pope's. 

All the franchises they have "gifted" us with are similarly under new ownership--- American ownership, not "U.S. Citizen" ownership. 

The only impact this has is that both the Queen and the Pope and all their employees are now obligated to obey the Constitutions and the Public Law of this country again, with respect to you and your assets.

The magic words are: "I accept all gifts and waive all benefits."

"Benefits" are gifts that come with strings attached-- unseen, unstipulated, undisclosed contracts and conditions that you are "presumed" to know and accept when you accept "benefits".

Thus, when they mischaracterize Social Security Earned Dividends that you and your employers paid for as "benefits" they are claiming that you are acting in the capacity of a "U.S. Citizen" or "Citizen of the United States" --- and moreover, that you are a Federal Citizen in receipt of welfare. 

Now, there are many people receiving "benefits" from the Social Security Administration as public assistance that they never earned. Some never contributed a dime and are receiving thousands of dollars in medical care and support payments every month.  

Those of us who unknowingly signed up for Social Security and vested in this program meant for Federal Employees are not in receipt of "benefits".  Anything we get back is an "earned dividend".  The import difference is that "benefits" can be discontinued at whim, whereas "earned dividends" owed to former employees have to be paid.

The situation is analogous to going to work for a foreign corporation in a foreign country.  While you are in that foreign country, you obey its laws. You also obey the internal "laws" of the corporation you work for. 

When you quit or retire and return home -- what happens? 

You are no longer living under the laws of that foreign country, and are back living under the laws of your own country.  That's for starters.

The corporation you worked for still owes you every bit of your pension plan.
That includes medical services (not benefits) and monthly dividend payments (not benefits). 

It's the same way with Social Security and Medicare.  They still owe you every jot, and they owe it to you as "earned dividends and services", not as "benefits". 

Similarly, the franchises and ACCOUNTS held in YOUR NAME and created "for" you have been mischaracterized as belonging to "U.S. Citizens" and/or "Citizens of the United States".  

These franchises and ACCOUNTS are toxic to you until you return home to the land and soil of your State of the Union via expatriation from any Federal Citizenship, and claim ownership of them as an American State National or American State Citizen.

It's the difference between "benefits" and "earned dividends" again.

As a "U.S. Citizen" or "Citizen of the United States" you are obligated to pay all the bills related to these franchises and ACCOUNTS created in YOUR NAME, but as an American State National or an American State Citizen, you are the inheritor of the assets and credits owed to these accounts. 

Suffice it to say that as long as you cling to your identity as a "U.S. Citizen" or "Citizen of the United States", you are a Pauper by definition, obligated to function under foreign law, obligated to obey foreign corporation policies, obligated to pay for every whim of the British Territorial Congress--- but when you reclaim your birthright political status, you are owed the return of everything that is rightfully yours.

Your Trustees, the British Monarch and the Pope, have to act as your Trustees again ---and return your "borrowed" property, plus interest, leases, fees, etc.

So, you lose absolutely nothing of any importance when you return to your birthright political status, and you regain all that was stolen and commandeered, including your Constitutional guarantees.

As you will be conducting your own elections and dealing with your own issues and taking control of your own purse strings, you will not need to overly concern yourself with the circus in Washington, DC, and you will have no reason or desire to participate in their political parties.

The world will come back into focus and the tail will stop wagging the dog once enough people understand the circumstance and take the necessary action  -- (1) reclaim your birthright political status; (2) join your State Jural Assembly and boot it up.

No Valid Convention of States Possible


By Anna Von Reitz

I am receiving all sorts of questions about the idea of having a "convention of States to change the Constitution".  The promoters of this idea openly admit that the "States" they are claiming to represent are incorporated entities. 

Our States are unincorporated entities.  And they are not yet organized and qualified to attempt re-writing their own Constitutions or re-chartering their own Federal States of State, much less are they prepared to address the U.S. Constitutions. 

If the organizers of this misbegotten attempt to infringe upon our names in Commerce continue, they will meet us in Court and they will lose. We will also make a formal complaint to the Queen to enforce against them as a our Trustee on the High Seas and Inland Waterways.  They will be arrested and jailed for conspiracy against the Constitution and against the actual living Constituents of this country.

Either these "persons" are so ignorant that they don't know what a "State" is, or they are deliberately trying to mislead people and seize power they don't have in another "similar names deceit" sleight of hand. 

The Missing Federal States of States are incorporated entities, but not the States of the Union.

And only the unincorporated States of the Union can re-charter (our ancestors called it "re-construct") the Missing Federal States of States. 

So, first, the unincorporated States must form and muster and the people operating them must qualify themselves and learn the ropes, then the Federal States of States must be re-constructed and take up their rightful place, and then, finally, we may contemplate a Continental Congress to take up the issue of reforming and updating the Constitutions. 

None of this can take place apart from disciplined and proper action on our parts, so we might as well knuckle down.

People need to cool their jets and learn their lessons and do the actual work set before us.  Maybe if they do, they will learn enough to qualify as actual State Jurors and then hold valid elections for State Deputies, and who knows?  Maybe they will all learn enough to be competent to tinker with the Constitutions? 

Until the people of this country learn the law and the history and do what actually needs to be done, they will constantly be in unnecessary danger of arrest and none of their actions will be taken seriously. 

Can Irishmen vote to change the Spanish government?

Can Israelis vote in Argentina's elections?

Can foreign incorporated "States" change our Constitutions? 

Go figure, everyone --- and especially those who are trying to set up some kind of "Convention of the States". 

P.S. Our States don't do "conventions" for the purpose of amending the Constitutions.  Our States meet in Continental Congresses.

Fifth Sunday After Epiphany

Rev. Fr. Leonard Goffine's
The Church's Year

On this Sunday mention is made of the practice of Christian virtues, and of God's sufferance of the wicked upon earth, that by them the just may be exercised in patience.

INTROIT Adore God, all ye His angels: Sion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Juda rejoiced. The Lord hath reigned; let the earth rejoice; let the many islands be glad. (Ps. XCVI. 1.) 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 Keep, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy household by Thy continual mercy; that as it leans only upon the hope of Thy heavenly grace, so it may ever be defended by Thy protection. 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 (Col. III. 12-17.) Brethren, put ye on, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, the bowels of mercy, benignity, humility, modesty, patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if any have a complaint against another; even as the Lord hath forgiven you, so you also. But above all these things, have charity, which is the bond of perfection: and let the peace of Christ rejoice in your hearts, wherein also you are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you abundantly, in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another, in psalms, hymns, and spiritual canticles, singing in grace in your hearts to God. All whatsoever you do in word or in work, all things, do ye in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks to God and the Father through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Why does St. Paul call charity the bond of perfection?
Because charity comprises in itself and links all the virtues in which perfection consists. For whoever truly loves God and his neighbor, is also good, merciful, humble, modest, patiently bears the weakness of his neighbor, willingly forgives offences, in a word, practices all virtues for the sake of charity.
When does the peace of God rejoice in our hearts?
When we have learned to conquer our evil inclinations, passions, and desires, and have placed order and quiet in our hearts instead. This peace then, like a queen, keeps all the wishes of the soul in harmony, and causes us to enjoy constant peace with our neighbor, and thus serve Christ in concord, as the members of one body serve the head. The best means of preserving this peace are earnest attention to the word of God, mutual imparting of pious exhortations and admonitions, and by singing hymns, psalms, and spiritual canticles.
Why should we do all in the name of Jesus?
Because only then can our works have real worth in the sight of God, and be pleasing to Him, when they are performed for love of Jesus, in His honor, in accordance with His spirit and will. Therefore the apostle admonishes us to do all things, eat, drink, sleep, work &c. in the name of Jesus, and so honor God, the Heavenly Father, and show our gratitude to Him. Oh, how grieved will they be on their death-bed who have neglected to offer God their daily work by a good intention, then they will see, when too late, how deficient they are in meritorious deeds. On the contrary they will rejoice whose consciences testify, that in all their actions they had in view only the will and the honor of God! Would that this might be taken to heart especially by those who have to earn their bread with difficulty and in distress, that they might always unite their hardships and trials with the sufferings and merits of Jesus, offering them to the Heavenly Father, and thus imitating Christ who had no other motive than the will and the glory of His Heavenly Father.
ASPIRATION O God of love, of patience, and of mercy, turn our hearts to the sincere love of our neighbor, and grant, that whatever we do in thoughts, words and actions, we may do in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and through Him render thanks to Thee.
ON CHURCH SINGING
"Admonish one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual canticles, singing in grade in your hearts to God." (Col. III. 16.)
The custom of singing in the Church-choir* has its foundation as far back as the Old Testament, when by the arrangement of David, Solomon, and Ezechias, the psalms and other sacred canticles were sung by the priests and Levites. This custom the Catholic Church has retained, according to the precepts of the apostles, (I. Cor. XIV. 26; Eph. V. 19.) and the example of Jesus who, after they had eaten the Pasch, intoned a hymn of praise with His apostles, Matt XXVI. 30) that Christians on earth, like the angels and saints in heaven, (Apoc. V. 8. 9., XIV. 3.) who unceasingly sing His praises, might at certain hours of the day, at least, give praise and thanks to God. In the earliest ages of the Church, the Christians sang hymns of praise and thanksgiving during the holy Sacrifice and other devotional services, often continuing them throughout the whole night; in which case the choir-singers probably were bound to keep the singing in proper order and agreement. In the course of time this custom of all the faithful present singing together ceased in many churches, and became confined to the choir, which was accompanied later by instruments in accordance with the words of David who calls to the praise of the Lord with trumpets, with timbrels, with pleasant psaltery and harps. (Ps, CL. 3, 4., LXXX. 3. 4.) In many churches, where the faithful still sing in concert, if done with pure hearts and true devotion, it is as St. Basil says, “a heavenly occupation, a spiritual burnt offering; it enlightens the spirit, raises it towards heaven, leads man to communion with God, makes the soul rejoice, ends idle talk, puts away laughter, reminds us of the judgment, reconciles enemies. Where the singing of songs resounds' from the contrite heart there God with the angels is present."
*The choir is usually a gallery in the Church in which the singers are stationed; the place where the clergy sing or recite their office, is also called the choir.

GOSPEL (Matt. XIII. 24-30,) At that time, Jesus spoke this parable to the multitudes: The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man that sowed good seed in his field. But while men were asleep, his enemy came, and oversowed cockle among the wheat, and went his way. And when the blade was sprung up, and had brought forth fruit, then appeared also the cockle. And the servants of the good man of the house coming, said to him: Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? whence, then, hath it cockle? And he said to them: An enemy bath done this. And the servants said to him: Wilt thou that we go and gather it up? And he said: No, lest perhaps, gathering up the cockle, you root up the wheat also together with it. Suffer both to grow until the harvest; and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers: Gather up first the cockle, and bind it into bundles to burn, but the wheat gather ye into my barn.
What is understood by the kingdom of heaven ?
The Church of God, or the collection of all orthodox Christians on earth, destined for heaven.
What is meant by the good seed, and by the cockle?
The good seed, as Christ Himself says, (Matt. XIII. 38.) signifies the children of the kingdom, that is, the true Christians, the living members of the Church, who being converted by the word of God sown into their hearts become children of God, and bring forth the fruit of good works. The cockle means the children of iniquity, of the devil, that is, those who do evil; also every wrong, false doctrine which leads men to evil.
Who sows the good seed, and by the cockle?
The good seed is sown by Jesus, the Son of Man not only directly, but through His apostles, and the priests, their successors; the evil seed is sown by the devil, or by wicked men whom he uses as his tools.
Who are the men who were asleep?
Those superiors in the Church; those bishops and pastors who take no care of their flock, and do not warn them against seduction, when the devil comes and by wicked men sows the cockle of erroneous doctrine and of crime; and those men who are careless and neglect to hear the word of God and the sacrifice of the Mass, who neglect to pray, and do not receive the Sacraments. In the souls of such the devil sows the seeds of bad thoughts, evil imaginations and desires, from which spring, later, the cockle of pride, impurity, anger, envy, avarice, etc.
Why does not God allow the cockle, that is, the wicked people, to be rooted out and destroyed?
Because of His patience and long suffering towards the sinner to whom He gives time for repentance, and because of His love for the just from whom He would not, by weeding out the unjust, take away the occasion of practicing virtue and gathering up merits for themselves; for because of the unjust, the just have numerous opportunities to exercise patience, humility, etc.
When is the time of the harvest?
The day of the last judgment when the reapers, that is, the angels, will go out and separate the wicked from the just, and throw the wicked into the fiery furnace; while the just will be taken into everlasting joy. (Matt. XIII. 29.)
PRAYER O faithful Jesus, Thou great lover of our souls, who hast sown the good seed of Thy Divine Word in our hearts, grant that it may be productive, and bear in us fruit for eternal life; protect us from our evil enemy, that he may not sow his erroneous and false doctrine in our hearts, and corrupt the good; preserve us from the sleep of sin, and sloth that we may remain always vigilant and armed against the temptations of the world, the flesh, and the devil, overcome them manfully, and die a happy death. Amen.
ON INCLINATION TO EVIL
Whence then hath it cockle? (Matt. XIII. 27.)
Whence comes the inclination to evil in man?
It is the sad consequence of original sin, that is, of that sin which our first parents, by their disobedience, committed in paradise, and which we as their descendants have inherited. This inclination to evil remains even in those who have been baptized, although original sin with its guilt and eternal punishment is taken away in baptism, but it is no sin so long as man does not voluntarily yield. (Cat. Rom. Part. II. 2. .43.)
Why, the sin being removed, does the inclination remain?
To humble us that we may know our frailty and misery, and have recourse to God, our best and most powerful Father, as did St. Paul, when he was much annoyed by the devil of the flesh; (II. Cor. XII. 7. 8.) that the glory of God and the power of Christ should be manifested in us, which except for our weakness could not be; that we might have occasion to fight and to conquer. A soldier cannot battle without opposition, nor win victory and the crown without a contest. Nor can we win the heavenly crown, if no occasion is given us, by temptations, for fight and for victory. "That which tries the combatant," says St. Bernard, "crowns the conqueror." Finally, the inclination remains, that we may learn to endure, in all meekness, the faults and infirmities of others and to watch ourselves, lest we fall into the same temptations.

Comment On Pope's Agreement With Imam


By Anna Von Reitz

The Pope isn't polluting Christianity with Islam, he is polluting Islam with Christianity, which is what the Popes have traditionally done since 325 A.D.

The Church Leaders colluding with Constantine just balled up every nasty pagan religion in Rome at the time and guaranteed it amnesty as long as the adherents claimed to be "Christian".  That's still the quid pro quo.

Just look at Nancy Pelosi, star "Christian" and "Catholic" adamantly in favor of murdering babies both before and after they are born. 

The same Church Elders adopted pagan customs and beliefs by the wagonload and just dubbed those "Christian" as well.  

Christmas is pagan in origin. Easter is pagan in origin. Most of the mythos of "Christianity" is borrowed from the religion of Ancient Egypt.  It's all cobbled together and polluted from one end to the other, and whatever it is that is politically expedient, the Church Leaders continue to call it "Christian". 

They've even made pedophilia into a "Man-Boy Sacrament". 

They might as well call it what it has become --- "Garbage du Jour Religion".

It has little or nothing to do with the teachings of a certain Jewish rabbi, who they secretly despise and use as window dressing.  It has even less to do with Islam.

So now, they are moving on to capture and ingest Islam as well.  Just imagine a giant amoeba closing in on a morsel of food.

Soon, they will have renamed the Fast of Ramadan and will claim that it honors something or someone else.  Oh, the Season of Lent.... I forgot for a moment.  We already have our Fast of Ramadan, don't we? 

We'll just call it something else, hang a new label on it, the sheep will continue to do what we tell them to do.

If I were a Muslim, I'd denounce the Imam for this and go on about my business.  At the end of the day, I might be wrong, but at least I'd be honest about my beliefs and they would remain unpolluted by the con artists wearing funny clothes.   

As a Follower of Yeshuah and someone who has Faith in Divine Grace, I think I shall no longer call myself a "Christian";  the Popes have seen fit to disgrace that name and redefine it into something unrecognizable and unworthy of my support.

The Tale of Two Governments


By Anna Von Reitz

There are two (2) Governments--- the American Government and the Federal Government. 

The American Government created the Federal Government.

The State Jural Assemblies are part of the American Government, not the Federal Government.

A Person (Federal) cannot function as one of the People (American).

Now, most Americans don't realize that they have been signed up as Federal Citizens, and shanghaied and misidentified as British Territorial Citizens and/or Municipal United States Citizens, but that is what registration of all those Birth Certificates accomplished. 

You have been secretively signed up as a member of their clubs, held to all their membership obligations, forced to pay all their fees and dues --- and all without your conscious knowledge. You've also been "deemed" to have "voluntarily" given up all your constitutionally protected rights and guarantees and to have given up all your material interests as a "gift" --- a donated
"decedent estate"--- for the benefit of their clubs.

And all this has been done "for" you by your Federal Employees, who then benefit themselves at your expense.

To get back home and be recognized as an American, you have to declare your actual birthright citizenship and claim it --- and that means revoking and expatriating from the foreign Federal citizenship that has been "conferred" upon you and which you have been unknowingly occupying almost all your life, since a few days after your actual birth.

Many of you are balking about giving up Federal Citizenship and expatriating from it, because you don't know how beneficial it is to you and your country for you to do so.  You assume that you are losing something precious, when in fact, you are letting go of the chains that bind you and the false claims that have impoverished and oppressed you. 

You are naturally part of the American Government, not the Federal Government--- and in order operate the American Government you are owed, you have to declare your "return" to your birthright citizenship as an American State Citizen and expatriate from any form of Federal Citizenship.

It would be against international law for any Federal Citizen to occupy a public office of one of our States, and against the law of the Territorial and Municipal United States for anyone "deemed to be" a Federal Citizen to interfere with the operations of any other Federal agency. 

There have been some people suggesting that, "Anna is telling us what to do." and they are pridefully bridling up like little kids claiming to be King of the Sandbox.  They think this is an issue of pride and authority.  It's not.  

If a judge knows that you are in a situation that you don't fully understand and that you may already be acting in violation of law or skating on the edge of such violation---- and that judge fails to sound the alarm and explain the situation to you----  then they are culpable for your death or other misfortune. 

The Watchman must give the alarm. And so must the Watchwoman.

In the course of my life I have often had to sound the alarm. I have had to explain this particular point of law and history more than once.  And far from it being an issue of pride, it is an issue of grief.

Each time I raise my hand and spell it out, there is some bonehead in the crowd who thinks he knows it all --- and he says, "Oh, she's just a woman!  Come on, boys! We'll do it our way!  This is our country! Blah-blah-blah-blah-blah..."

And every time people get off track and led into the woods by these Pied Pipers, good men and women suffer, they get hauled into federal prisons, they get attacked by IRS agents, they get ambushed by their own employees.

Ask Bruce Doucette.  Ask Cliven Bundy.  Ask LaVoy Finicum.  Ask Randy Weaver.

If you think that you don't have to listen to what I am telling you and don't have to declare your political status and don't have to expatriate from Federal citizenship to be part of your State Jural Assembly -- think again.
