Talk v. Walk


By Anna Von Reitz

What we have in fact accomplished far exceeds what we have told anyone.   So while paid shills have been out labeling us as Zionist-Jew-Hating-Jew-Loving-No-Actually-Nazi-Uh-No-Communist-Bolshevik-Catholic-Uh-No-Lutheran.... Whatever.... we have been plodding along getting work done. 

That's always the way with what walks versus what talks, talks, talks. 

It's important to note just how true it is that THEY accuse others of what THEY are doing themselves. Just look at the media circus in Washington, DC.  

The Democrats are trying to impeach Donald Trump based on the totally false narrative --already proven to be false narrative-- of "Russian Collusion" when in fact this is exactly what Democrat leaders Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden have done.

Hillary colluded to sell the Russians our Uranium.  She should be arrested, tried for treason, and executed. 

Joe Biden peddled influence and extorted billions of a dollars from foreign governments to enrich his family--and bragged about it.

They are crooks and they both colluded with Russian and in Biden's case, Chinese communist, governments to enrich themselves. 

They are trying, once again, to accuse Trump of what they have done themselves.  And this is their established mode of operating. It is what they always do. 

So when they say I am a fake, count me as genuine. When they say I am ineffectual, know that I and my team are kicking rump. When they say I am a "Communist" know that I am the opposite.  When they say I am "in bed with the Pope"--- read what I actually wrote. 

Most of these people follow the Propagandist Playbook, too.  Everyone should watch the movie "Masters of Deceit" to get the hang of what they do and how they do it. 

Some of their favorite techniques? 

Labeling - basically name calling.

High-jacking the Narrative - focusing on some minor element and either blowing it wildly out of proportion or taking to out of context to misdirect the discussion. 

Playing on previous indoctrination-- used by those seeking to maintain the status quo-- makes use of false information that people have received in the past to promote false conclusions or cause confusion in the present.

These scum artists long ago discovered that all they have to do to achieve their ends is to cast doubt on their targets--- be it a person or a product. 

As long as they can induce fear or doubt, they win.  They keep you from trying new things or having new thoughts.  They lock you in to the same old helpless don't know-which-way-to-go routine and so, they keep our whole country in paralysis. 

Let's ask some basic questions, folks--

1. Are you an American or a US Citizen? 

2. How free do you feel on April 15th? 

3.  How do you feel about getting stopped by highway patrolmen or other police? 

4.  Do you trust what you hear and see coming out of Washington, DC? 

5.  Do you get the feeling that there is a giant unseen struggle going on?

The Only Currently Available "Common Law"


By Anna Von Reitz

People in the patriot community like to go around bleating about "Common Law" this and "Common Law" that --- what they mean is our American Public Law, which is our Common Law --- but which is not widely available.  

The Federal Courts have no obligation to "interpret" the Common Law for actual States of the Union, so in 1938, they announced that they don't have a "General Common Law" --- that is, Public Law; all the Federales have is Military Common Law, and nobody in their right mind would wish to be judged under Military Common Law.  However, when you ask for "common law" in their courts, that's what you get.  

They don't do the kind of common law people are thinking of.  They no longer carry the Bible into the courtroom with them.  And since they have taken over what poses for most "State Courts" and operate these as "State of State" Courts instead, the same problem applies to what appear to be state level court actions.  You still are not accessing American Common Law and for the same reasons.  

To correct this requires that Americans: (1) declare their political status; (2) establish their standing; (3) populate their lawful jurisdiction on the land and soil of this country, (4) assemble their State of the Union; (5) form their own courts to serve their own people ---- county and state.  

We are a separate population and have our own form of law that is a higher form of law than what the Federal and State of State courts practice, but until you "come home" and operate your own government --- that is, self-govern --- you are presumed to be a federal employee or dependent and to be subject to their foreign forms of law. 

Once you realize that what you are looking at and thinking of as "your courts" aren't your courts, you can begin the process of restoring order to this country, starting with correcting the presumptions about your own political status.  

Are you a Federal Employee or Dependent?  (This does not apply to Federal Retirees, except in the matter of income tax.)  If you aren't a Federal Employee, you need to stand up and say so.  

You need to record your political status declaration and seize control of your own name and estate.  Otherwise, you are going to be held responsible for the Queen's debts and the Pope's debts and your own assets will be at risk and they will continue to have an excuse for hauling you in and prosecuting you under foreign law in foreign courts. 

And once you have your own political status declared as an American State National and not as a British Territorial "United States Citizen" and not as a Municipal "citizen of the United States"----- you have another decision to make. 

Are you going to join your State Assembly and build the court system you are owed?   So that you can access the form of law you are owed?  -- American Common Law?  

The reason that NLA and so many of these other groups are wrong-headed is that they want to build just part of a State Court or State Assembly.  I have likened the NLA effort to form Grand Juries without having Courts to support those Grand Juries ---to building a car door and trying to operate as if you had a car.  The same thing applies to those groups organizing "Jural Assemblies" without a State Assembly.  A Jural Assembly is part of a State Assembly, again --- building the transmission without a fuel system.  

To restore and enjoy the benefit of the American Common Law, you have to stand under the American Common Law as a conscious decision that is determined by your declaration of political status as an American State National.  And next, you have the obligation of self-governance, the obligation to provide yourselves with your own courts.  

That means joining and supporting your State Assembly, serving as a Juror, and doing the work to open your own State Court.  Bear in mind -- yours is a State Court, not a "State of State" Court.  Your judges are "Justices".  

Our people are being fleeced and pillaged in foreign courts and subjected under foreign law, because they have been deliberately misidentified as British Territorial and/or Municipal Government Employees.  It's time to wake up and correct that situation by restoring your own State Assemblies and your own own American Common Law courts. 

Once our own courts are up and rolling in each State and our people have "re-populated" our States of the Union, it is already agreed that the foreign quasi-military courts that you see operating in your courthouses today, have to stand down and  withdraw themselves back to the limits of their own natural foreign domain.  

Military "Common Law" will no longer be mistaken (or misrepresented) as the American Common Law.

The Long Shadow of the Norman Conquest


By Anna Von Reitz

The Norman Conquest ended the British Monarchy.
This "news" is almost a thousand years old, but somehow, it still isn't sinking in.
The Queen is not a Queen in Britain.
The only thing the Queen can be is Overseer of the Commonwealth for the Pope, which basically means that within three days of the fake Coronation, she abdicated and occupied The Chair of the Estates as a Lesser Office, the same way that past American Presidents have occupied the Lesser Office of President of the United States.
And we can readily observe, thanks to John Anthony Hill, that that is exactly what she did, too.
William, the Conqueror, did a very careful accounting of everything he conquered. He established a Sovereign Patent upon it all, and upon his death in 1087 A.D., he divvied up all the land in Britain among his faithful nobles and declared them all "sovereigns in their own right" --- so instead of any single British Monarch, we now had powerful mini-monarchs, all in charge of their own kingdoms. The Normans thus became kings in England, barons in France.
William, the Conqueror, disowned his son, John, on purpose, and refused to grant him any lands at all --- hence the nickname, John Lacklands. And even if William hadn't taken this precautionary measure to make sure his Will would stand in the matter, it is worth noting that Britain still succumbed to Norman rule and that all William's progeny were Norman, too.
The result is the same: there is no British Monarch to rule Britain.
That's why we have the odd spectacle of "British" Monarchs from France and Scotland and Germany and Holland and even from Greece. There has been no true British Monarch since 1066 A.D. The Pope's Commonwealth Overseer has been pinch-hitting since then.
I am bringing this forward --- again --- so that people may better grasp the implications. Her Royal Majesty serves as the Pope's lackey and derives whatever land jurisdiction she has from that Office and relationship.
The Pope, acting under Delegated Authority, controls the Municipal (Federal Civil Service) Government directly, and controls the Territorial United States Government indirectly through the Queen.
That's the way it is, and the way it has been, since long before this country was founded and seized upon its own government----and that's also the way the empowerment flows downhill among our erstwhile Federal Subcontractors that have been left to run wild while exercising Delegated Powers "for" us.
It has been very handy for the Popes to be able to hand off responsibility for all this wrong-doing by donning the Pontiff's hat and office, a nicety they have attempted to keep going by their present arrangement in which Benedict retains the sacred ministerial office, and Francis operates as Successor to the Pontiff's responsibilities. But at the end of the day, it's all just excuses for criminality and fraud.
The Pope(s) need to return control of all our assets to us without further obfuscation or denial.
They-- Francis and Benedict-- also need to make amends for their wrong-doing and especially, for offering to start another Civil War on our soil, for enslaving our people, for defrauding Americans, and for all the racketeering that has gone on here as they have illegally and immorally enforced the collection of "Peter's Pence" otherwise known as the Federal Income Tax, plus many other improper actions including: forced licensing, forced conscription, confiscation of private property without compensation, mortgaging assets that do not belong to them, trading in human flesh and bondage, gross trespass and practice of inland piracy upon their actual employers, conspiracy against and evasion of their treaties and constitutional obligations, usurpation in the form of chartering millions of municipal corporations and operating them within the borders of our States ---when they know very well that they are limited to operating within the District of Columbia and, specifically, within the Municipality of Washington, DC.
The Queen and her Hubby have grotesquely benefited themselves as the Pope's lapdogs, and though they owe us Good Faith Service, they have taken their orders from the actual Headquarters in Rome like good little Nazis. They need to be reminded of the verdicts in the Nuremberg Trials.
And everyone throughout the world needs a wake up call about the actual known history of all this, so that we are all on the same page and know exactly who to blame and who needs to make restitution for all this, to the extent possible.
Now, it's not possible to give back the lives that have been lost. It's not possible to give back the time that has been lost. We cannot make up for the truncated lives that people have been forced to live because of this criminality at the root of western civilization. We can't return the careers sabotaged, the babies aborted, and so much else.
But we can cut the canker out, drain the swamp, and get the show back on the road, restored, reformed, and operating as it is meant to. We can make up for what we can make up for. We can utilize the wealth that is duly ours to clean up the planet and provide a good future for everyone. We can return the stolen land and homes to the actual owners. We can put our boot heels on the throats of the offending corporations.
What can never be repaid or repaired must be forgiven, for our own sake, if nothing else. And we can all make a new start.
It is an open question to the People of Britain --- why have you put up with this situation for so long? William, the Conqueror, is long gone. Why do you continue to let foreigners rule over your country and to use your Government as a base for piracy and crime against you and against humanity?

The Offices of the President -- Where the Bear Went Through Buckwheat


By Anna Von Reitz

I was in Sixth Grade and had just read Rifles for Watie for Extra Credit, as part of a school unit on the Civil War.  For a Sixth Grader simply reading the book, which is several hundred pages long, was a task most of my classmates didn't attempt; I, however, struggled on and got through it.  I was just congratulating myself on that accomplishment, when my Mother suggested that I read the autobiographies of Jefferson Davis and Ulysses S. Grant, too. 

You may imagine my horror.  

This was my first introduction to the Offices of the President.  That is, the multiple Offices of the President.  

The Offices of the President are all about conducting business. 

Any presidential office is always an office concerned with the functions of a business chief executive --- and is not designed to function as a Head of State.  

This comes as a shock to most Americans, but, look it up for yourselves in a Law Dictionary, preferably the only Law Dictionary every approved for use by our Congress: Bouvier's. 

The actual Power Holder Office is: The President of The United States of America --- that is, the President of our unincorporated Federation of States, our Holding Company that gives its name to our entire country: The United States of America.  

There is also: President of the Confederate States of America, President of the United States of America, and President of the United States.  

These are all separate Offices. 

The President of The United States of America conducts business for the entire country in international jurisdiction, and has wide-ranging power over every aspect of our international relations as well as power over the internal business functions (known as "domestic functions") of the Federal Subcontractors. 

The original Federal Government Subcontractors were: (1) the States of America Confederation; (2) the British Territorial United States; (3) the Pope's Municipal Government.  

All three were in the business of providing "essential government services" to the States and People of The United States of America. 

So in those capacities we had: (1) President of the Confederate States of America, (2) President of the United States of America; (3) President of the United States.  

So take a gander, folks --- four different Offices of the President that can be occupied, plus, the Office of Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.  

In the case of Donald Trump, he would be qualified to occupy The Office of the President of The United States of America, because he was born in New York, is of age, and is a landlord --- but to date, he has not occupied the Supreme Power-Holder Office, even though he could do so.  

He has, instead, done what all his predecessors since Ulysses S. Grant have done --- occupied the Municipal Office of President of the United States, and the Territorial Office of Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. 

Both of these Offices of the President are supposed to be subservient to The Office of The President of The United States of America, but when that office is left unoccupied for whatever reasons (usually because the incumbent isn't qualified to hold the Supreme Office or can't be bonded for it)  it is possible to limp along and conduct business using the two Lesser Offices. 

Now the crazed and criminal Municipal "Congress" is trying to impeach Donald Trump from the Office of President of the United States --- the Municipal Office of the Presidency.  This is because he has up-ended their leadership's plans to stage a Civil War on our soil and prevented their corporation from making money they had planned to make from bilking us and various other foreign countries.  

They, the members of the Municipal Congress, argue that as they conduct the Municipal Business as a for-profit corporation, it is his duty as President of their corporation (and its thousands of illicit franchises) to make profit for profit's sake, even if it involves violence, drugs, war-for-profit, human trafficking, and other crimes.  

Donald Trump, to his credit, hasn't gone along.

You will also note that the Vermin are accusing Trump of exactly what Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden in fact did --- colluding with the Russians and taking Russian money.  You will also note that Trump didn't do any such thing. 

So what if they impeach him from the Office of the President of the United States?  

He can step immediately into The Office of The President of The United States of America and tell the Pope to quash them.  Simple as that.  And the Pope, acting as Pontiff Successor and as a Subcontractor in charge of the Federal Civil Service, including all the "Agencies"--- will have to comply and put a stop to all this criminality and nonsense.  

Why?  Because The President of The United States of America outranks all the other Offices of the Presidency.  It is when an American operates in this otherwise vacated Office, that both the Delegated Power-Holders, the Pope and the Queen, have to hove-to and obey.  

We have bonded The Office of the President of The United States of America and we have invited Donald Trump to step up and do the actual job.  All he has to do, is reclaim his birthright political status as a New Yorker and he is good to go. 

Once in the Office of the Supreme Power-Holder, he can tell Queen Elizabeth how high to jump in her administration of the Territorial Government, as well as telling Pope Francis how the Civil Service and Agencies are to operate on our soil.   They are, after all, operating on Delegated Authority.  

As a fully empowered President of The United States of America, Donald Trump can issue new  asset-backed currency for this country and help oversee the long, long overdue Reconstruction of the Federal Government.  

Donald Trump can be a hero and kick the stuffing out of what has been going on in the Municipal Congress and end all the nefarious crap that has been going on in the Territorial Congress as well.  

I suggest that everyone reading this say a prayer for Donald Trump and a prayer that he will act upon this opportunity to exercise the actual Office he is heir to. 

And I personally hope that he will do so.

A Drug Cartel Just Defeated The Mexican Military In Battle

Anti-gunners insist that if you will only let them ban your rifles, magazines, and other Constitutional rights, that America will finally be safe.

This argument has obviously been debunked countless times, although perhaps never more hilariously than by... the Mexican drug cartels.

The southwest U.S. border might be quieter now than it was this spring at the height of the migrant crisis, but south of the Rio Grande the Mexican state is disintegrating.
Last Thursday in the city of Culiacan, the capital of Sinaloa state, a battle erupted between government forces and drug cartel gunmen after the Mexican military captured two sons of jailed drug kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman. The elder son, Ivan, was quickly freed by his men, who overpowered government forces and secured his release. Ivan then launched an all-out siege of the entire city in an effort to free his younger brother, Ovidio.

Money is a Commodity


By Anna Von Reitz

I keep saying this from time to time, but people also keep missing the point.
Money is a commodity like rice, beans, and soybeans. Nothing more or less.
If you "corner the market" on any commodity, you can control the supply and if you keep the supply below the level of demand for that product, you can keep the "perceived value" of that commodity high. 
When the world had many different competing national currencies, there was a healthy and more or less honest exchange of goods and services.

Gradually, however, the Rothschilds and others controlling the transport of money -- like J.D. Rockefeller who made his fortune by controlling the transport of oil -- rigged and manipulated the market for money, just like some group might conspire to rig the market for pork bellies or fava beans.

This process culminated in the founding of the Federal Reserve Plan at Jekyll Island, Georgia, during the bankruptcy of the Scottish Commercial Corporation doing business as "The United States of America" -- Incorporated.

Basically, what the bankers in control of the transportation of money and a substantial share of the actual gold and silver decided, was to give themselves and all their corporations a Big Break, and load as much of the tax burden (as much as possible at every opportunity) onto the backs of all those ugly little people, the workers and farmers.

They also agreed to make their commodity, money, extremely plentiful for a period of ten years so as to devalue it, and then cut the supply of their commodity---money, --- a maneuver we all know as The Great Depression. This enabled the bankers to buy up vast amounts of actual assets for almost nothing.

Make no mistake, this was a criminal conspiracy for purposes of Unjust Enrichment that ultimately caused two World Wars. 
And it went unrecognized and unpunished as a crime.

Now they are doing the same thing again, only their success with these prior schemes has encouraged them to think bigger and to aspire to literally ruling the world by manipulating currencies and especially THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA DOLLAR known as the USD.

This is a currency fronted by -- you guessed it -- not our country, but a corporation "representing" itself as something to do with our country, when in fact it is another impostor "trading upon" our credit under False Pretenses.

What these criminals propose to do, is to hyperinflate supplies of the USD by direct counterfeiting of USD in foreign countries and by "Quantitative Easing" which is another form of counterfeiting. Once again we see the same plan in motion--- devalue the currency, then cut off supplies, while the schemers claim bankruptcy protection at our expense and skate. 
When the Secondary Creditors come to collect, they will show up on your doorsteps claiming that a municipal franchise corporation named after you owes them hundreds of thousands of dollars. You will look at them. They will look at you. 
Nobody will know that the actual scoundrels set you up and set up those Secondary Creditors, too. 

But, now you know. That is what is going on. A plan by these bankers and politicians to foist their debts off onto innocent people and on equally innocent business partners who have supplied them with everything from jet planes to champagne to wing nuts.

They plan to ride off into the sunset, still in control of the money supply, in possession of all their ill-gotten gains, and sit there, enjoying the show, watching everyone else starve to death and lose their homes and lives for lack of what?

Money, a commodity that the bankers produce just like Exxon produces oil, and which they control the supply of, just like OPEC. 
To avoid the catastrophic "end of the world" that the bankers have planned for 90% of humanity, the military of many nations must wake up, and the politicians must be convinced that their lives are on the line, which they are--- because if the banker's "end of the world" scenario doesn't kill them, the rest of us surely will. 
And all of this is over nothing. It's over chits, like poker chips-- "symbols" of value. 
The only reason it is even a serious threat, is that people don't realize that "money" is a commodity like Oreo Cookies, so don't pay attention to what the bankers are doing and don't ride herd on the bankers and don't hold the bankers feet first to the fire for their crimes. 
Let me suggest that all those people in Washington, DC are either (a) complicit in this crime; or (b) too clueless to live. This has been coming at us for at least five decades, and now, it has arrived.

The US, Russian, and Chinese military all sit around on their thumbs because they have been paid off with peanuts to do nothing. The idiot "Dems" and "Republicans" provide a sideshow entertainment to keep public attention distracted away from the hyperinflation that is stealing the value of the digits in your bank accounts and IRAs. 
They are too banal and self-satisfied to realize that they are the intended scapegoats.

And the Pope, who occupies "the" position that is most responsible for all this greed and guile and cruelty and criminality, does nothing at all. Perhaps he thinks he will survive the debacle that his lack of decisive action against the banks is allowing.

And now, it comes down to me and you. What are we going to do, besides wising up? 
I encourage you to join your State Assembly and to do so as quickly as possible.

I encourage you to support your lawful government, The United States of America, with might and main, with prayers and with pennies. 
This is a completely ridiculous situation but we are ham-strung by a doltish misdirected military and corrupt politicians. Unless this situation is promptly rectified, the entire world will suffer needlessly because criminals have been left in charge of money supplies and they have not been adequately recognized as the cause of the problems they are creating. 
They've gotten away with these "games" in the past, and see no reason why they shouldn't get away with another round. Let's let them know that we know what "money" is --- whether it is paper, gold, or plastic.  And we know who to hold responsible.

For Those Who Grieve for Our Country - 22 October 2019


By Anna Von Reitz

I am often on the receiving end of angry people who are just now waking up.    Instead of thinking about the facts and taking action, these angry people just want to attack something, or someone -- usually, me -- and go back to sleep.  I have grown used to this response and consign such people to my "Hibernating Bear Bin" --- those who resist waking up. 

Harder for me to deal with, by far, are those who grieve for our country, who meet the Bad News head on, but with tears and horrible sadness.  Today, I had to meet with a young Russian immigrant who had such high hopes based on coming to America.  He didn't realize that he would struggle here, too, with a police state mentality and a corrupt government.  Like many immigrants, he came looking for America and found "the US" instead.

His disappointment was heart-wrenching.  He wept without sound.  He wept for himself, but also for me and for you and everyone else, and I recognized the moment: it's that hopeless moment between when you realize that you've cut yourself, and the bandage being applied.  Nobody can say much at such a time.  I am a Great-grandmother, so I know about such things, and yet. knowing doesn't always help.  All I could offer was a hand on his shoulder.

Then, quite by accident, in my "Poem-a-Day" subscription file (Poem-a-Day is an internet program from the Academy of American Poets that publishes a new poem every day) I found this and I quote:

"My Invisible Horse and the Speed of Human Decency" by Matthew Olzmann:

"People always tell me, "Don't put the cart
before the horse," which is curious
because I don't have a horse.
Is this some new advancement in public shaming--
repeatedly drawing one's attention
to that which is currently not, and never
has been, in possession of?
If ever, I happen to obtain a Clydesdale,
then I'll align, absolutely, to its proper position
in relation to the cart, but I can't
do that because all I have is the cart.
One solitary cart --- a little grief wagon that goes
precisely nowhere---along with, apparently, one
invisible horse, which does not pull,
does not haul, does not in any fashion
budge, impel or tow my disaster buggy,
up the hill or down the road.
I'm not asking for much. A more tender world
with less hatred strutting the streets.
Perhaps a down-tick in state-sanctioned violence
against civilians. Wind through the trees.
Water under the bridge. Kindness.
LOL, says the world. These things take time, says
the Office of Disappointment. Change cannot
be rushed, says the roundtable of my smartest friends.
Then, together, they say, The cart!
They say, The horse!
They say, Haven't we told you already!
So my invisible horse remains
standing where it previously stood:
between hot dog stands and hallelujahs,
between the Nasdaq and the moon's adumbral visage,
between the status quo and The Great Filter
and I can see that it's not his fault ---
being invisible and not existing--
how he is the product of both my imagination
and society's failure of imagination.
Watch how I press my hand against his translucent flank.
How I hold two sugar cubes to his hypothetical mouth.
How I say I want to believe in him,
speaking softly into his missing ear. "

I quote it for you, because this-- in essence-- what I hear everyday from people young and old, all over this country, and all over this world.  They want to believe in a better world and a way to get there, but in their grief, they don't see how.  They don't yet really know that the answer lies inside themselves, that they are the "missing" horse and the "missing" government.

In my own reply, I gently say--- wake up from the bad dream, my children.

It's only an old man behind the curtain. And he can't give you what you want.  Freedom, kindness, a better world--- these are all things that you can give yourself, and give to others, too. 

The lack of society's imagination, you can supply that.  The impotent, seemingly non-existent government, well, that belongs to you, too.  I smile. I rest a hand on a shoulder.

We'll answer the call.  We may be slow. We may make a lot of mistakes. But we will get where we truly want to go.  Five more States of the Union assembled themselves last week, took up the reins of self-governance, and put flesh back on the invisible horse again. 

No need to worry about the cart.  It's there, carrying a bin full of grumpy hibernating bears.

Quotes from the Saints

Nothing is more to be feared than too long a peace. You are deceived if you think that a Christian can live without persecution. He suffers the greatest persecution of all who lives under none. A storm puts a man on his guard and obliges him to exert his utmost efforts to avoid Shipwreck.
Saint Jerome

Don't Give a Rip


By Anna Von Reitz

This is a reply to Gene and Jay and Joy and several others who have asked me, "How can you go on like this, day after day, year after year? Aren't you just exhausted? It's like a butterfly attacking a walnut... this little old lady with her knitting needles poised.... it's ridiculous."
Most of what we do in this life has an element of ridiculousness and hyperbole to it. Most of what we accomplish in life also has an element of the miraculous in it, too.
At the end of the trail, you can't give a rip about all that. You give life your best shot, and that's that.
You have to realize that you and your puny life are not the center of the Universe, and at the same time, realize that what you do and what you choose, is worth doing and asserting anyhow, because otherwise you are acquiescing to evil and acting as an accomplice to crime and contributing to the downfall of everything that is good and decent and right.
Sitting around sniveling in a corner and trying to hide and hope that the Big Bad IRS or some other goon acting under Color of Law doesn't come get you, is no way to live.
By the time I was 26, I knew for a fact that I couldn't look at myself in the mirror and go on living like that---- and to the lasting decision that I would not go on living like that.
It's a necessary combination of couldn't and wouldn't.
It's the realization that you can't have any kind of worthwhile life and freedom under such conditions, because if you allow this evil to endure, everything about your life will always be cast under a shadow of fear and tainted by submission to evil.
Whatever you accomplish won't be yours to enjoy. Everything you have, even your children, will be subject to being snatched away by "the government". Is that how you want to live?
It's the realization that, as an adult and as an American, you have a responsibility to oppose evil. Your ancestors did, and so must you. Freedom is not earned once and for all times. It is earned by men and women who stand up for it and hold the line.
New generations of would-be slave masters arise like grass and must be kept in check, or you wind up with a situation like this.
The Popes and the Monarchs couldn't win by force of arms, so they have tried to win by guile, instead. They have endeavored to fool us into "voluntarily" giving away our birthrights for trinkets, just as they deceived the Native Americans and conjured up contracts "for" them "by tacit agreement".
So stand up and tell them that their claims are nothing but fraud and have been fraudulent for a hundred and fifty-plus years. The crime of fraud has no statute of limitations.
And its that decision --- that resolve --- or what John Adams called "the commitment" to oppose the evil, come what may, that motivates everything I do.
Over time this resolve hardens like steel, or perhaps more like a diamond in the center of your soul. It becomes part of you, like your voice or your big toe. It enlightens and determines who you are.
And of course, it may determine how you die and what your net worth is when you do, but again, if you are like me, if you are irrevocably allied with truth and freedom and joy and life, there is no other choice.
You can't give a rip about the lies and the schemes and the crimes and the threats and all the rest of it. You have to stand. And keep standing.
Like the stubborn little Dutch Boy with his finger plugging a hole in the seawall, you don't do this because it is easy or comfortable. You do this work, because it has to be done. You do it to save yourself and everyone else concerned. You do it for the children and the grandchildren who are depending on you. You do it for your friends and your neighbors. You do it for your own peace of mind.
Is it ridiculous that I oppose evil with every fiber? That I despise the lies and the lairs who have served themselves instead of serving our country? Oath-breakers? Cheats and criminals ---and worse -- sitting in high offices "representing" the rest of us? I am supposed to nod and knit and give my "tacit approval" to all that?
In a pig's eye.
No, my friends, you have to get to the point where you just don't give a rip, the point where you would rather die on your feet than on your knees, the point of ultimate commitment to stand and say, "No, you've gone far enough and will go no further."
That's where I am and where I have been since I was 26. Others come to it by many ways, for many reasons, but in the end, it is all the same resolve --- that the evil has to be opposed and exposed and brought to an end.
There are those reading this who already understand what I am saying, and others who are learning what it means and why.
Let me just say that we set ourselves free. It doesn't come from any other man or woman, and it certainly isn't "given" by any external government. It comes from within. It comes from the Living God who created us and gave us freewill.
Freedom is our Law and our Birthright and our Will. It is our Gift straight from our Creator.
Let those who wish to deprive us of our freedom and substitute their sanctimonious grant of "liberty" instead, be exposed for the traitors and criminals that they are.
Let them wallow in their servitude to whatever evil enters the minds of men, let them serve idols if they will, but as for me and my house, we shall be free and serve the Living God, instead.
If you find that "ridiculous" then laugh as you will, but your enjoyment shall be short-lived and my satisfaction shall stand, built on rock, forever. And bear in mind ---- I don't give a rip what anyone thinks.
Let them see me as a mouse chewing on an elephant. Let them say I am a butterfly attacking a walnut.
It has yet to be seen what a few million mice can do to an elephant, or what impact millions of highly motivated butterflies can have on a walnut.
I am not discouraged. Look at the size of the pile of leaves in my front yard? And those are just individual leaves. Look at the size and power of the Pacific Ocean? And that is just made of drops of rain.
