State Assemblies and Jural Assemblies


By Anna Von Reitz

We are forming State Assemblies and Jural Assemblies are part of State Assemblies.  Our right to assemble and to execute the Jural duties as well as all other duties of self-governance are based on The Declaration of Independence and agreed upon and confirmed by all three Federal Constitutions. 

And that's an end to that. 

There is a group of unnamed people going around like Chicken Little claiming that we do not have the right to form our own courts and execute justice in our own country and that Jural Assemblies are dangerous. 

My response is that this is only true if those founding and operating Jural Assemblies are doing so without the proper standing and knowledge-- which is like everything else, a challenge to us all to rebuild and restore.

This ill-informed and quite possibly self-interested rumor (consider the likely sources) is very easily disproven by the fact that we Americans had our own independent courts and form of Common Law for two centuries prior to the adoption of any Federal Constitution and have remained fully competent at all times prior and since. 

There is also considerable confusion about the difference between "Jural Assemblies" which give rise to Land Jurisdiction Courts and Jural Societies which give rise to Sea Jurisdiction Courts.  

Obviously, our States as sovereign entities can form either kind of Jural Body, but the Constitutional Agreements limit our Sea Jurisdiction Courts to address only those powers that were not Delegated and which are covered by Amendment X. 

Thus the actual States have limited use for Jural Societies and have traditionally focused on Jural Assemblies that support the Land Jurisdiction Courts as organizations that derive from the State Assembly for the special purpose of organizing our court system in the same way that the militia of each State is formed as an adjunct organization operating under the State Assembly as a whole. 

There is no mystery about this, no cause for alarm or misgivings or fear-mongering about anything The American States Assembly is doing and anyone who says otherwise is either (a) misinformed or (b) deliberately trying to mislead people and cause trouble.

Daylight in the Swamp!


By Anna Von Reitz

If there's some lying skullduggery afoot, some mean, deceptive, sideways knife in the back, it's always the Brits.  That's 100% of the time.  Those who were reading my blog at the time (and anyone who cares to go back in the archives and look) will find that I reported (months and months ago) that the Brits were the ones in back of the now-infamous Dossier framing President Trump for "Russian Collusion" and now --finally--- this basic truth is coming to light.  

Even if I hadn't seen British fingerprints on it, I would have still assumed out of hand, sight unseen, no questions asked --- that the Brits were the ones at the bottom of it all.  And I would have also guessed that they and their American pals were in fact the ones colluding with the Russians to sell out our Uranium.  So guess what?  

A few days ago it came out that the Italian Secret Service was supposed to be employed to plant emails and other material gleaned from Hillary Clinton onto Trump's computers, so as to make it look like he was the one colluding when in fact it was her behind it the whole time.  Look a little further into the rabbit hole and what do you find?  Oh, a New York-based FBI unit was in it up to their little pink whiskers.  And under whose direction were they working?  Oh, the Secret Service.  

Goodness me, how it all comes around and around and around and always lands back on Britain.  Always in the past fifty years that I can verify.  It's as if everyone else stopped stirring the pot and just let them have at it. 

And here's today's news from the Alt Media---which is the only media we have left:


Those of you who have been reading a while will also remember that I told you it was the Russian Czar who sent his navy to intervene and stand between us and the British at the end of the Civil War.   I mentioned it again just recently.  

Russia has often been our friend and the Brits have often been our enemies, but somehow nobody notices these things because we are not thinking and looking at the facts in front of our faces.  Nor are we trying hard enough to reason our way forward from the facts. 

America has always been the death-knell of feudalism and monarchy.  Every American born on our land is a sovereign in their own right.  350 million of us, all equal to the Queen.  Imagine how that went down the old pipes? 

And it was bad news for the Pope, too.  How could absolute Papal Supremacy be maintained in a world where average people, even low-life dirty American Commoners without a shred of culture, could aspire to rule their own lives, consult their own conscience, and own their own property? 

This is self-evidently why, in 1822, the then-Pope and the then-British Monarch authored and signed The Secret Treaty of Verona, admitting that our form of government was antithetical to their form of government, and agreeing secretly to undermine us in Breach of Trust.  

They've been at it ever since.  

They co-sponsored the Civil War.  They engineered the substitution of British Territorial States of States for American States of States.  They picked and chose the Presidents from Whitehall.  They lapped up the cream of their perfidy.  They stuck a straw in America and sucked us dry and used us as unbelievably cheap mercenaries in endless wars for profit. And they did it all behind such a nice facade that nearly everyone was content to blame all the war-mongering and evil-doing  on "the Americans, the Americans, the Americans...." 

Right.  

They have also sought to make the Chinese and the Russians into our enemies, when in fact, neither one have been.  The Chinese just want to have reliable  trading partners who pay their bills.  The Russians want to have peace, free markets and economic opportunities for themselves. There is nothing about our Sino-Russian relationship that is hard to observe or explain....except, why should we be enemies with them?  

To put it flatly and in a nutshell --- because the Queen and the Pope want it that way.  

The Chinese and Russian Communists are in fact closer in sympathy to the American Dream than the European Monarchists could ever be.  They enshrine the Worker and we enshrine the Common Man.  We are not that far apart in our egalitarian attitudes.  They simply focus on the group while we focus on the individual.  At least we are in the same sector of the Human Values galaxy.  

If we became friends and Allies with the Russians and Chinese, that would be the end of the Spiderweb in Europe, and the end of the ability of the Queen and the Pope to use America and Americans as the Bulwark for their own monopoly interests.  

They'd have to pay for their own defense.  They'd have to come out of the shadows and stop pretending that "the Americans" are the aggressors and bullies.  They'd have to take their greasy paws off of Africa and stop meddling in the Middle East.  

It would be a whole new world.  

Interfering in the American elections is the least of it.  They have been interfering with and funding and manipulating and hand-choosing the Electors in every election for decades.  That's a no-brainer and not even worth discussing. 

What should be more "newsworthy" is the fact that they have been running a de facto government on our shores in Breach of Trust for a 150 years. 

It's not just the elections, folks.  It's the whole Shizzam.  It's the two party system.  It's the Democrats and the Republicans. It's the whole concept of having two groups of lobbyists in Washington, DC, fighting over the spoils and handing off large chunks of the profits to the Pope and the Queen.  It's everything we have taken for granted and "trusted" and not questioned. 

Daylight in the Swamp!

Memorial Day Visitation


By Anna Von Reitz

The Virgin Mary has appeared to me exactly three times in my life.  She has a presence and aura that is all her own, unique among all others, and the scent of roses fills the air around her as if all the roses of a thousand fields of bloom were present in the room.  

Last night she came to me in her gentle way and gave me a bouquet of roses to bring home to you, to this world.  Each rose is a gift and a blessing symbolizing some Great Good --- kindness, compassion, friendship, loyalty, generosity, hope. 

All this she sent to each one of us, to our country, to our world. 

I don't know what to expect.  I can tell you that that was the basic thrust of the action and the message --- to deliver blessings to our world. I can also tell you that each time she appears huge changes appear soon after.  

On both of the other occasions when she has come to visit me, within three days, major changes and challenges have come.  

So, while I am blessed and while it has been given to me to bring blessings, too, I cannot tell you by what path or motivation or opening of doors this is to be accomplished.  

Buckle up your seat belts.  I am certainly buckling mine.

Enough, Arizona


By Anna Von Reitz

If the people in the Arizona Assembly can't get this job done without having  cliques of volunteers bad-mouthing other cliques of volunteers and accusing me of taking down the PaperUpNow website---- go away. 

Just admit that you are all too immature to get the job that needs to be done, done.    

This is serious business.  It needs serious commitment and level heads. If you can't provide both, stay home. 

Those that are committed to restoring a proper government for Arizona and a better future for America will soldier on. 

And just like Rhett said to Scarlett--- "Frankly, my dear...." 

Arizona is your home, your State, your homes and families are there. 

If you don't care enough to protect your own and do the right thing by each other, I sure as blazes am not coming all the way down there to nursemaid or coerce you, either one.

The Logic of It


By Anna Von Reitz

There is a logic to all of this, and it is what it is.  There are many different potential ways to arrive at the desired result.  Our paperwork is just a well-tested and simple way of regaining claim to your birthright political status and control of the various "entities" that have been created in your name. 

Our process is rather limited in that it doesn't serve commercial notice of your ownership interest (UCC process) which you may additionally wish to do, though strictly speaking you aren't obligated to do in order to exercise your exemption from commercial law or to assert your ownership of your identity in all its forms. Tim Turner developed a comprehensive UCC process that is still rock solid and widely available.   

Our process is also rather limited in that it doesn't address the Paramount Claim, which in my opinion is the most important, as it claims your DNA and uniqueness of being back to the moment of conception.  We make a basic Paramount Claim available and recommend it highly, but the real expert is Kurt Kallenbach, so if you want to have things nailed down to a gnat's eyelash, do his Paramount Claim as well.

What we address with our simplified stripped down version is getting back to your birthright status as an American and getting control of your identity and property assets so that these foreign commercial corporations operating the two remaining branches of the Federal Government are discouraged from "mistaking" you as one of their employees or dependents and railroading you under false legal presumptions.

The logic of it is that you have been mis-identified almost since birth as a United States Citizen.  That fundamental impersonation has then led to your name also being interpreted as that of a Municipal PERSON or to be more exact, PERSONS, all of which are Citizens of the United States.  Your actual birthright political standing has not been brought forward on the Public Record at all, so you cannot be recognized as one of the People of your State and your country as a whole.  So this circumstance has to be corrected. How you correct it and what correction is possible for you at this time is highly dependent on your own situation.

Federal Civil Service employees for example, are required by their jobs to maintain an identity as a CITIZEN of the United States, but are not obligated to function as United States Citizens.  They may wish to expatriate from any presumption of United States Citizenship and adopt their birthright State Citizenship or State National status instead; because Federal workers are allowed to have Dual Citizenship, they may choose which citizenships they want to have.

The same basic situation applies to Territorial (Military) employees and Dependents.  They are required by their job to maintain their United States Citizenship status, but may choose to expatriate from any presumption of Municipal United States Citizenship (that is, cease acting as "Citizens of the United States) and opt for their birthright political status as Minnesotans or Californians for example. Again, as Federal workers, they can have Dual Citizenship and choose which citizenships they honor. 

For the rest of us, we can avoid the whole issue of any Federal citizenship obligations whatsoever, and choose the singular status of our birthright as Texans, New Yorkers, Californians, etc.  That is our actual nationality and we can function as State Nationals and never accept any citizenship obligations to serve any government at all.   Or, after the age of 21, we can accept the responsibilities of State Citizenship, and become State Citizens of Texas, New York, etc.  We do not have a Dual Citizenship option because our States of the Union don't provide that or recognize Dual Citizenship.

Thus we remain "foreign" to both the Federal Territorial and Federal Municipal government corporations, though from their standpoint, Americans working for them can retain their American State National or State Citizenship in tandem with whichever other citizenship applies, either Territorial "United States Citizenship" or Municipal "Citizenship of the United States".

As you can see, for Joe Average American, things are simple. You either live as a State National or as a State Citizen. 

It's only when issues of Federal Citizenship arise that things get more confusing and complex.

For most of us, we don't naturally have or desire or receive any benefit from Federal citizenship of either kind, and we are best served by correcting our political status and expatriating our names from any presumption of Territorial or Municipal citizenship "conferred" on us without our knowledge or consent as babies in our cradles.

For Territorial workers and dependents, they are better off not being additionally burdened by Municipal CITIZENSHIP, and are better served by claiming their natural American State political status as their second citizenship.

For Municipal workers and dependents, they are better off not being additionally burdened by Territorial Citizenship, and are better off claiming their natural American State political status, too.

In both these cases, consciously expatriating from one or more foreign political statuses that have merely been conferred upon us without our knowledge or consent, protects Federal workers by bringing them back under the guarantees of our Constitutions, just as expatriating from both presumptions of Territorial and Municipal citizenship obligations protects average Americans.

So, everyone concerned who has been born on the land and soil of one of the States has good reasons to expatriate from one or more Federal citizenship obligations and has reason to declare and adopt their birthright political status as American State Nationals.

Our paperwork is probably the simplest and cheapest way to do this and to put you back in control of your life, but not the only way possible. If in doubt, why not do our paperwork and be sure that the bases are covered?  If you have done someone else's paperwork we have no way of saying if it is correct or sufficient or not, because it is not something we tested --- but if you see that it does these things: (1) claims and re-conveys your Trade Name (Given Name, Proper Name) to the land and soil of your birth State and makes that your permanent home and domicile; (2) cancels are prior Powers of Attorney so that you are in control; (3) claims and issues certificate of ownership of all your Assumed Names and NAMES and all permutations, orderings, styles, and punctuations of your Assumed Names and NAMES; (4) expatriates all these Assumed Names and NAMES and all permutations, orderings, styles, and punctuations from any obligation of Territorial and Municipal Citizenship or CITIZENSHIP (our case as average Americans) or expatriation from one or the other form of Federal Citizenship (for Federal workers) --- then you have the basics in place as soon as your record these four basic forms with a land recording office.

You have to establish your true home and permanent domicile, you have to take back your own singular Power of Attorney, you have to claim ownership and control of all the "derivative" names you have been gifted with, you have to expatriate these names, as appropriate, from any presumption of Territorial and/or Municipal citizenship, depending on your own situation--- whether you are Joe Average and not actually employed by or dependent upon the Federal Government, or, if you are employed by either the Territorial or Municipal branches of the Federal Government.  And you have to record these actions with a land recording office, so that they exist in the proper jurisdiction and have to be recognized by all international courts.

I hope this better explains what our basic process does. It's meant to provide large numbers of people a relatively easy means of reasserting their actual political status as Americans and to regain control of their identities and assets. Our process creates evidence that is admissible in any Territorial Court, and since we are naturally exempt from Municipal presumptions when we take exception to them (Title 50, Section 7(c) and (e)) -- it serves the purpose of returning us to our proper standing.  Recorded copies of our paperwork in tandem with a Certified copy of our Birth Certificate and two Witness Testimonies confirming that we are the man or woman whose physical birth event is reflected by the Birth Certificate, establishes our ownership interest and is sufficient to rebut any and all false legal presumptions being held against us or any derivative NAME.  

You can do more to "paper up" --- Tim Turner's UCC process, Kurt Kallenbach's Paramount Claim process -- both excellent.

One Brilliant Deceit Too Many


By Anna Von Reitz

Look at the 14th Amendment. Look at the crucial phrase, "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof".

Look at the Trading With the Enemy Act. Look at the crucial phrase, "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof".

What are they talking about? They are talking about "the" United States --- that is, the Municipal United States and its "Citizens of the United States". 
It is not, as so many people have assumed, talking about us. It's not even talking about the Territorial "United States Citizens", either.

None of that is our "United States". None of us are naturally subject to the jurisdiction of the Municipal United States. 

You will also hear that the British Parliament declared "war" on us in 1860, but if you look closely at that, you will see that it is an action against the Confederate States of States, as it had to be to prevent all of our Allies from declaring an actual war on Britain.

That this is true is underlined by the fact that the Russian Czar placed his Navy between us and the British at the end of the hostilities--- just to "remind" them of their obligations under actual international law and international treaties and service contracts and trust agreements that the rats owed us then and still owe us now.

So sharpen your wits and your eye-sight to catch the fine details and don't be misled. The actual Law is firmly on our side of the issues.

Gossip and Dangers in Common


By Anna Von Reitz

Gossipers all seem to think that gossiping does not affect them --- but gossip does taint those who gossip just as it taints those they gossip about. 

So, please, if you have been flapping your jaws and making assumptions, stop all the he-said, she-said, did-you-hear?  

There's nothing bad going on and nothing to gossip about.

We are simply switching gears from second to third, and making it easier than ever for people to do their paperwork and create their land jurisdiction records and contact their State Assembly via TheAmericanStatesAssembly.net website.  

We are also cutting down on all the verification work, too, because it can all be done and verified as part of one online process. 

It's all a good change, and everyone is helping to make it happen.

What you have to be concerned about is what you were born with --- your birthright as an American. It's up to you to claim it or not. 

The rest of us have brought forward the fact that 90% of Americans (or more) have been misidentified as US Citizens and are being denied their property rights and constitutional guarantees as a result.  

We have provided the means to correct this situation and allow millions of people to enjoy the freedom and the prosperity they deserve--- for FREE. 

As long as you do this in a peaceful and orderly fashion, nobody on Earth can complain, because all you are doing is reclaiming something that is already yours --- your Good Name and Estate.

Having reclaimed your birthright political status on the Public Record, you are again operating as a Lawful Person, standing on the international land jurisdiction of your State of the Union.  You are again owed all the constitutional guarantees.  You are free to boot up your State Assembly. 

As long as you do this in order, by first correcting your own political status records and then assembling your State, nobody on Earth can complain about that, either.

The danger comes when people go off half-cocked and try to assemble their States before they have corrected their own records, because it is literally against the Constitutions for US Citizens to pretend to assemble a State of the Union, and also against the Constitutions for a State to act as a State of State.

The first fact means that if the President gets grumpy, he can order all those US Citizens engaged in groups like RuSA and T-ROH and the REPUBLIC, etc., to be arrested and charged as insurrectionists acting in conspiracy against the Constitutions, which is a very serious charge.

Now I don't want good people to be endangered and I don't want those who are doing this the right way confused with those who are doing it the wrong way.

And I don't want foreign "States of States" substituted for American States of States.  Britain pulled that trick on us in 1868 and it has been repeated several times since---- always to the detriment of this country. 

Enough is enough of that, too. 

We are engaged in very serious business here.  We are restoring a fully functioning American Government for the first time in 150 years. 

A great many people have made huge sacrifices to gain the knowledge and share it with you and enable you to act upon it for yourselves. Do so. They have done all this for free --- never charged you a penny.  Be grateful. 

Do it the right way, be diligent, stay in your lane, and everything will all work out fine for everyone concerned.  Even the US Citizens.

Instruction on the Fifth Sunday After Easter

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


In thanks for the redemption the Church sings at the Introit:

INTROIT Declare the voice of joy, and let it be heard, allel.: declare it even to the ends of the earth: the Lord hath delivered his people. (Isai. XLVII. 20.) Allel. allel. Shout with joy to God, all the earth: sing ye a psalm to his name, give glory to his praise. (Fs. LXV.) 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, from whom all good things proceed: grant to Thy suppliants, that by Thy inspiration we may think those things that are right, and by Thy guidance may perform the same. 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 (James I. 22‑27.) Dearly Beloved, Be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if a man be a hearer of the word and not a doer, he shall be compared to a man beholding his own countenance in a glass: for he beheld himself and went his way, and presently forgot what manner of man he was. But he that hath looked into the perfect law of liberty, and hath continued therein, not becoming a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. And if any man think himself to be religious, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his own heart, this man's religion is vain. Religion clean and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to visit the fatherless, and widows in their tribulation, and to keep one's self unspotted from the world.
EXPLANATION True piety, as St. James here says, consists not only in knowing and recognizing the word of God, but in living according to its precepts and teachings; in subduing the tongue, the most dangerous and injurious of all our members; in being charitable to the poor and destitute, and in contemning the world, its false principles, foolish customs and scandalous example, against which we should guard, that we may not become infected and polluted by them. Test thyself, whether thy life be of this kind.
ASPIRATION O Jesus! Director of the soul! Give me the grace of true piety as defined by St. James.
GOSPEL (John XVI. 23-30.) At this time, Jesus saith to his disciples: Amen, amen, I say to you, if you ask the Father,anything in my name, he will give it you. Hitherto, you have not asked anything in my name. Ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be full. These things I have spoken to you in proverbs. The hour cometh when I will no more speak to you in proverbs, but will show you plainly of the Father. In that day, you shall ask in my name: and I say not to you that I will ask the Father for you, for the Father himself loveth you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God. I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again I leave the world, and go to the Father. His disciples say to him: Behold, now thou speakest plainly, and speakest no proverb. Now we know that thou knowest all things, and thou needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou comest forth from God.
Why does God wish us to ask of Him?
That we may know and confess that all good comes from Him; that we may acknowledge our poverty and weakness which in all things need the help of God; that we may thus glorify Him and render ourselves less unworthy of the gifts which He has promised us.
What is meant by asking in the name of Jesus?
By this is meant praying with confidence in the merits of Jesus, "who," as St. Cyril says, "being God with the Father, gives us all good, and as mediator carries our petitions to His Father." The Church, therefore concludes all her prayers with the words: "Through our Lord, Jesus Christ." It means also that we should ask that which is in accordance with the will of Christ, namely, all things necessary for the salvation of our soul; to pray for temporal things merely in order to live happily in this world, is not pleasing to Christ and avails us nothing. "He who prays for what hinders salvation," says St. Augustine, "does not pray in the name of Jesus." Thus Jesus said to His disciples: Hitherto you have asked nothing in my name, "because," as St. Gregory says, "they did not ask for that which conduces to eternal salvation."
Why is it that God sometimes does not grant our petitions?
Because we often pray for things that are injurious, and like a good father, God denies them to us, in order to give us something better; because He wishes to prove our patience and perseverance in prayer; because we generally do not pray as we ought; to be pleasing to God, prayer should be made when in a state of grace and with confidence in Christ's merits, for the prayer of a just man availeth much; (James V. 16.) we must pray with humility and submission to the will of God, with attention, fervor, sincerity, and with perseverance.
At what special times should we pray?
We should pray every morning and evening, before and after meals, in time of temptation, when commencing any important undertaking, and particularly in the hour of death. God is mindful of us every moment, and gives us His grace. It is, therefore, but just that we think often of Him during the day, and thank Him for His blessings.
How can we, in accordance with Christ's teachings, (Luke XVIII. 1.) pray at all times?
By making the good intention when commencing our work, to do all for the love of God, and according to His most holy will; by raising our hearts to God at different times during the day; frequently making acts of faith, hope, love, and humility, and by repeating short ejaculations, such as: O Jesus! grant me grace to love Thee! Thee only do I desire to love! O be merciful to me! Lord hasten to help me.
What is the signification of the different ceremonies that Catholics use at their prayers?
The general signification is that God must be served, honored and adored, not only with the soul but with the body; when we pray aloud we praise God, not only with the mind, but also with our lips; when we pray with bowed and uncovered head, with folded, uplifted, or outstretched hands, on bended knees, with bowed and prostrated body, we show our reverence and subjection to the majesty of God, before whom we, who are but dust and ashes, cannot humble ourselves enough. These different ceremonies during prayer are frequently mentioned in both the Old and the New Testaments, and Christ and His apostles have made use of them, as for instance, the bending of the knees, falling on the face, &c.
Which is the best of all prayers?
The Lord's Prayer which Christ Himself taught us, and commands us to repeat. When said with devotion, it is the most powerful of all prayers. (Matt. VI, 9-13; Luke XI. 2‑4.)

SHORT EXPLANATION OF THE LORD'S PRAYER

Of what does the Lord's Prayer consist?
It consists of an address, as an introduction to the prayer, and of seven petitions which contain all that we should ask for the honor of God, and for our own salvation. The address is thus: Our Father who art in heaven:
What does the word “Our" signify?
In the communion of saints we should pray for and with all the children of God; we should be humble and preserve brotherly love towards all men.
Who is it that is here called our “Father"?
Our Father is God who has made us His children and heirs of His kingdom through His Son.
Why do we say "Who art in heaven", since God is everywhere?
To remind us that our true home is heaven, for which we, should ardently long, because our Father is there, and there He has prepared our inheritance.
For what do we ask to the first petition: "Hallowed be Thy name?"
That we and all men may truly know, love, and serve God.
For what do we pray to the second petition: "Thy kingdom come?"
That the Church of God; the kingdom of Christ, may extend over the whole earth, and the kingdom of sin and the devil be destroyed; that Christ may reign in our hearts and in the hearts of all; and that God will deign to receive us into the kingdom of heaven when our earthly pilgrimage is ended.
For what do we ask to the third petition: "Thy will be done on earth as it is to heaven ?"
We beg that God would enable us, by His grace, to do His will in all things, as the blessed do it in heaven. In these three petitions we seek, as taught by Christ, first the kingdom of God, that all the rest may be added unto us. (Luke XII. 31.)
For what do we ask in the fourth petition: "Give us this day our dally bread?"
We beg for all necessaries for body and soul
Why does it say, "this day?"
The words "this day" signify that we should not be over anxious for the future, but place all our confidence in God who will provide the necessaries of life.
What do we ask for in the fifth petition: "Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us?"
We beg that God will forgive us our sins, as we forgive others their offenses against us. Those who make this petition, and still bear enmity towards their neighbor, lie in the face of God, and will not receive forgiveness. (Mark XI. 25, 26.)
What is asked for in the sixth petition: Lead us not into temptation?"
We ask God to avert all temptations or at least not to abandon us when we are tempted. We cannot, indeed be entirely free from them in this world, they are even necessary and useful for our salvation: for without temptation there is no combat, without combat no victory and without victory no crown.
What do we ask for in the seventh petition: Deliver us from evil?"
We beg that God would free us from all evil of soul and body.

INSTRUCTION CONCERNING THE PROCESSIONS ON ROGATION DAYS

What are processions?
Processions are solemn religious assemblages of persons marching together, and are instituted by the Catholic Church partly to encourage the piety of the faithful, partly in remembrance of graces received, and in thanksgiving for them. Processions are approved of by the Fathers of the Church from the earliest ages. Those who take part in them in a true spirit will reap wholesome fruit of Christian piety.
Are processions something new?
No, they were the custom in the very earliest centuries of the Church, as testified by the acts of the martyrs, of Saints Cyprian, Lucius, Boniface, and the Fathers of the Church, Saints Basil, Chrysostom, Ambrose, Gregory, and others. They are also founded on Scripture. Thus King David caused the ark of the covenant to be carried in solemn procession to Jerusalem, (II Kings VI.) and Solomon, his son, had it carried in solemn procession into the new temple. (III Kings VIII. 1-6.)
What do processions signify?
Processions are a figure of our pilgrimage on earth; we are strangers and wanderers here below, our journey reaches from this valley of tears to the heavenly Sion, the procession therefore returns into the house of God; our journey leads over the thorny ways of life, the procession therefore takes place in the open air, where the pilgrim is exposed to all kinds of weather; they are a powerful incentive to fervor in prayer for the faithful; when hundreds, even thousands of faithful praise God aloud, or cry to Him for help and mercy, must not even the coldest heart be roused to vivid, fervent devotion, since Christ has promised to be present even where two or three are assembled in His name? Processions are an open acknowledgment that praise, thanks and adoration are due to God alone, while they are a public profession of our faith in Christ, the Crucified; they are a solemn thanksgiving for being permitted to profess Christ, our Lord, before the whole world, as also for all the graces obtained through Him; they are a public testimonial of our faith in the one, holy, Catholic Church, whose members are united by the same bond of faith, and who form under their head, Christ, one family in God. Finally, they are a sign of the triumph of Christian faith over the darkness of heathenism. If processions are solemnized with such intentions, with order and dignity, with fervent devotion, in the light of faith, they are indeed a pleasing sight for angels and men
Why are banners and the cross carried in procession?
The cross signifies that we are assembled as Christians, in the name of Jesus, in whose name we begin and end our prayers, through whose merits we expect all things from the Heavenly Father, and whom we must follow: on our journey to heaven; the red and white banners indicate that we must walk in all innocence under the banner of Christ, and fight unto death against sin, against the world and the devil, and be as ready as were the martyrs to give our life for our faith; the blue banners indicate that we must walk the road of self-denial and mortification, with really humble and penitent feelings for our sins. The banners are also emblematic of Christ's victory over death and hell, and of the triumph of His religion over the pagans and Jews.
Why do we go around the fields in processions?
To beg God to bless the fields with His fatherly hand, to give and preserve the fruits of the earth, and. as He fills the animals with blessings, and gives them food at the proper time, so may He give to as also our necessary food.
What is the origin of the procession on St. Mark's day and on Rogation Days?
The procession on St. Mark's day was instituted even before the time of Pope Gregory the Great (607) who, however, brought it into fervent practice, "in order," as he says, 'to obtain, in a measure forgiveness of our sins." The same pontiff introduced another, called the Sevenfold Procession, because the faithful of Rome took part in it in seven divisions, from seven different Churches, meeting in the Church of the Blessed Virgin. It was also named the Pest Procession, because it was ordered by St. Gregory to obtain the cessation of a fearful pestilence which was at that time raging in Rome, and throughout all Italy. This pestilence so poisoned the atmosphere that one opening his mouth to sneeze or gape would suddenly fall dead; (hence the custom of saying God bless you," to one sneezing, and of making the sign of the cross on the mouth of one who gapes). The same holy pope ordered the picture of the Blessed Virgin, which is said to have been painted by St. Luke, to be carried in this procession, and that the intercession  asked of this powerful mother by these supplications, God heard and the pestilence ceased. It is said that the processions in Rogation Week owe their origin to St. Mamertus, Bishop of Vienne in France; in the neighborhood of which city there were, in the year 469, terrible earthquakes which caused great destruction, the fruits perished and various plagues afflicted the people. The saintly bishop assembled the faithful, recommended them to seek refuge in the merciful God, and led them in procession around the fields. Such processions spread over France, and gradually throughout the Christian world; they are held in order to obtain from God the averting of universal evils, such as war, famine, and pestilence, and are, at the same time, a preparation for the Ascension of Christ who is our most powerful mediator with His Father, and whom we should invoke especially during these days.
With what intentions should we take part in a procession?
With the intention of glorifying God, of thanking Him for all His graces, and of obtaining aid and comfort from Him in all our corporal and spiritual needs; with the view of professing our faith openly before the whole world, and with the sincere resolution of always following Christ, the Crucified, in the path of penance and mortification. He who entertains other intentions and takes part, perhaps, for temporal advantages, or for sinful pleasures, or to avoid labor, &c., sins against God and the Church who weeps over and condemns such abuses.

Court Action versus Private Arbitration


By Anna Von Reitz

Most of what passes for "court action" in our present morass of ignorance is instead the private processing of corporate tribunal decisions that are not the actions of any Public Court at all. 

Any time you see a docket sheet where the style of the name of the Court and the Plaintiffs and the Defendants all match, you are looking at an action in a private corporate tribunal designed to administratively settle disputes among the officials and employees and shareholders of the corporation.   

If the court is captioned (named and described) in an Upper and Lower Case name and the Plaintiffs and Defendants are too, you are looking at a Territorial Administrative Tribunal case.  

If the court is captioned in all capital letters and the Plaintiffs and Defendants are also, you are looking at a MUNICIPAL COURT TRIBUNAL. 

These Administrative Court Tribunals conduct about 90% of all court actions in this country.  

They all function by presuming that you are either an officer or an employee or a shareholder or a dependent of a corporation, and assume that whatever is being brought forward for adjudication is an internal dispute to be settled according to the internal statutory laws of the corporation (Administrative Code) and State Statutes and Public Policies of that corporation. 

So, once again, it is up to you to "declare your law" and to choose which court you do business with, and also up to you to decide whether you address a court at all----- unless of course, someone else is trying to choose your law and your court "for" you.  That's another whole discussion. 

For the moment, let's just concentrate on the fact that when you bring forward something for settlement, it is your choice of law and your decision to address either a court or seek private arbitration that largely determines the outcome. 

Most people in this country approve of land jurisdiction courts where the Ten Commandments form the basis for the Law being administered, but those courts were taken out of action surreptitiously by our "Public Servants" in order to better serve themselves.  

So now what?  A corporate administrative tribunal doesn't fit who you are or what you need in terms of services, and the gazillion codes and statutes and policies of these corporations don't meet your needs as a living man or woman. 

Chances are you are just waking up to the fact that you are being "impersonated" as a corporate entity and a legal fiction entity, and not being recognized as a living man or a Lawful Person, either one.  

Chances are you don't know the variations of laws and codes and statutes and all the corporate legalese, all the court procedures, all the court rules..... 

So that leaves you a stranger in a strange land and makes you easy pickings for these predators. You really are unprepared to interact with these courts, and they know it.  They set it up that way, the better to profit themselves and to keep rigid control of you and your assets.  

But when you are bringing the action, you do have an option.  You can seek private arbitration instead.  Arbitration has many advantages over court actions, not the least of which is simplicity.  In arbitration all you have to do is establish the form of law, the identities of the parties, and the nature of the conflict. 

You can sit down together like rational people and speak plain English and be heard.  The Arbiter is free to render a judgment based on the principles of justice apart from any corporate policies--- and they often do so with great prejudice against those perpetuating injustice.  You just don't hear about these cases because they are private---- truly private, as opposed to the quasi-private corporate tribunal actions that are so common.  

An arbitration action does not establish any precedent for anyone but you and whoever else is party to the arbitration.  It does not establish any res judicata.  But what it can and often does manage to deliver is justice.  

So when you are standing there feeling utterly bewildered by the plethora of undisclosed courts and court operations that have nothing to do with you as a living man or woman, remember the option you do have --- private arbitration. 

As a result of the corruption of the corporate court systems and the basic fact that the courts are obliged to make insupportable presumptions against you to even bring a case into their jurisdiction --- a very lively business has sprung up for Private Arbitration Services and you will find them under that heading in many metropolitan areas.  

Make haste to make peace with your brother on your way to court.... and take a detour via private arbitration services instead.  Until we have our own courts set up and functioning again, this is the best option for people searching for justice.

Lawful Marriage


By Anna Von Reitz

It's "Marriage Season" --- or so I am told.  More marriages take place in June than in any other month of the year.   I've been thumping on everyone about the word "Lawful" this week, as opposed to "Legal" so now we have the topic of "Lawful Marriage".  

What is a "Lawful Marriage" as opposed to a "Legal Marriage"? 

A Lawful Marriage is one that takes place on the land and soil of an actual, factual country.  It takes place according to the Law of Scripture and the Public Law of the country and internationally it is recognized as a Simple Treaty under the Law of Nations. 

It's both a private agreement and a public agreement between two people to live together and enter into all the rights and responsibilities of married life.

A "Legal Marriage" is a Joint Venture between two Legal Persons chartered by a State of State, subject to the Statutory Laws of that State of State.  The State of State, like the State of Washington, issuing the new franchise charter is an undisclosed Third Party having an "interest" in the JV and the "products thereof"---- your children.  

Obviously, you want to have your ducks in order and be making a deliberate choice about which kind of "marriage" you are entering into. 

I've had distraught parents contact me seeking help to protect their children who are now planning to get married and not knowing the difference between these two kinds of marriage.  They don't want their children and grandchildren to be reduced to mere businesses operating a JV under the thumb of State of State subcontractors. 

The basic situation is the same as what we encountered with the Baby Deed.  If we don't record our baby's true identity as an American State National, the freebooters sneak in and register our baby's name as a Legal Person and Ward of their State of State organization, leaving him or her --- and their parents --- at the mercy of the Territorial State of State.  

To counteract, we record the Baby Deed at the land recording office and seize ownership to our own children on the Public Record.  If the State of State then registers our baby's name, it is clearly and demonstrably a secondary claim and is not owed any enforcement against the parents.  

Straightening out your own political status records and recording that little Baby Deed on the land jurisdiction puts you back in control of your lives and the lives of your children.   It's the same way with marriages. 

You need to record your Lawful Marriage with the Land Recording Office, prior to or in concert with any "registration" of the new "vessel" with the State of State organization.  

To that end, our team has constructed a new recording instrument that does for marriages what the Baby Deed does for babies ---- establishes your marriage as a Lawful Marriage on the Public Record. 

This document is called a "Solemn Record and Proclamation of Lawful Marriage" and will be found --together with instructions-- with the Article 928 documents at my website, www.annavonreitz.com and hopefully will soon also be available on TheAmericanStatesAssembly.net website. 

Those receiving this as an email will also receive a "red-line" copy of the form and instructions.  

Recording this "Solemn Record and Proclamation of Lawful Marriage" protects your marriage from being treated as a commercial contract and prevents you and your children from being subjected to the unilateral demands of Territorial and Municipal Agencies.  

For your own safety and sanity and for the well-being of your children, be sure to fill out the "Solemn Record and Proclamation of Lawful Marriage" and record it with the Land Recording Office nearest you.  This is evidence that you are acting as living people getting married and not functioning as business entities engaged in a Joint Venture merger---- which is how your marriage will otherwise be "interpreted" by the existing court systems. 

I will also point out that doing this prevents a lot of the other heartaches that can be associated with marriages --- CPS, forced vaccinations, denial of home school rights, inequitable divorces, and a whole lot more can be settled privately and should be settled privately by arbitration.  Just make sure to get your "Solemn Record and Proclamation of Lawful Marriage" properly witnessed and recorded and forestall any ability of the pirates to exercise their "discretion" with regard to what kind of marriage you have entered into.
