Good Old Joe

By Anna Von Reitz

I keep saying--bluntly-- you are all victims of identity theft.  You are Americans but you have been deliberately and with malice aforethought misidentified as US Citizens--as if you were born in Puerto Rico. 

Your credit cards and other assets have been stolen by your federal employees and used as collateral for their debts and investments. Now they are going bankrupt and leaving you on the hook as the "presumed" co-signers of their loans. 

This is after they already embezzled and double-billed and extracted the value and benefit out of all the money and assets of yours that they seized upon and used as collateral. 

This is the same situation, howbeit, on a much larger scale, as some con artist taking out a loan in your name and leaving you to pay for it. Or a credit card hacker going out and buying things on your card and leaving you to pay for it.

This is as plain and simple as I can make it and still, people aren't quite getting what has gone on here. 

In this situation you are the Priority Creditors in the bankruptcy, but your claims are not being brought forward and your assets are not being protected and these Odious Debts are not being discharged because the people on your payroll who are supposed to be protecting your "Persons and property" have done the exact opposite. 

They have preyed upon and pillaged you instead.  

So, waking up to this nightmare is not pleasant.  You are on a runaway train.  Your employees have run amok and gone rogue.  And what are you going to do about it? 

1. You are going to correct the falsified political status records they foisted off on you, to make it appear that you are a "US Citizen"-- that is, Federal Employee. 

2.  You are going to boot up the actual American Government you are owed, assemble your States of the Union, and present yourselves, instead of being "represented" by these crooks. 

3. You are going to bring forward your claims as a victim of these fraud artists and you are going to hold the foreign governments responsible for these wildly mismanaged corporations to account-- specifically the Holy See and the British Monarch. 

Your actual Federation of States, the unincorporated version of The United States of America, has been in the field working to protect your interests and expose this criminality -- but God helps those who help themselves. 

Imagine waking up one day to find jack-booted UN Troops on your doorstep, waving AK47's and telling you that you and your family are being evicted from your homes and land for failure to pay debts you never authorized and never knew about?  

Debts accrued "for" you under totally False Pretenses and False Presumptions?  

These same UN Troops tell you that your "share" of this debt is $750,000.00 for each person in your household.  Pay up within 30 days or else they will be back to physically remove you from your home. 

This is what THEY have planned for you and every other American. 

We have a different plan. 

We expose the criminality and double-dog dare them to deny it. 

We demand remedy and restitution-- the discharge of all these Odious Debts and the return of our Persons and other assets free and clear of debt or encumbrance. 

As their Employers, we order them to stand down, and we tell the rest of the world the God's honest truth-- we were not aware of and did not authorize any of this fraud. 

Our contracts with these con artists are clearly spelled out in the Constitutions and any presumption of any other "power" is disallowed and not in evidence. 

These fraud artists have sat on our shores since 1913 making "equitable exchanges" of our silver for their paper and because the American Public was fooled into thinking these charlatans were their Lawful government, they trusted these interlopers and didn't hold them to account. 

But now we are. 

Now we have no other choice, but to wake up and see the situation for what it is. 

We don't owe the "US Debt".  We are owed the American National Credit instead.  

All those scheming foreign powers and for-profit corporations are being given the boot by Americans just like you, who know who they are, and who have taken the time to correct their falsified political status records and put together their State Assemblies. 

I have asked this question before-- if you knew that you were the victim of identity theft, how long would it take you to take action and report it? 

If some credit card hacker stole your card and charged $3000 of unauthorized charges how long would it take you to object to the charge and report it? 

So if foreign governments abscond with $25 trillion dollars worth of your credit and assets -- and leave you on the hook to pay for it all -- how long is it going to take you to wake up? And take action? 

As of this morning, 33 States of the Union have Assembled.  The United States of America -- your own unincorporated Federation of States -- is issuing the proper paperwork to protect you and to redirect the federal Subcontractors. 

This isn't taking place in a vacuum.

People around the world are waking up to the same nightmare of unaccountable incorporated "government" entities that are merely for-profit corporations in the business of providing "governmental services" --yet posing as their own legitimate government, racking up unauthorized debt against their credit and assets, and parading around as if employees had the right to harass and bilk and intimidate their employers. 

Support the only government that is supporting you-- your own. 

For Americans that means the unincorporated Federation of States doing business as The United States of America and your own State Assembly. 

Get busy! Join today!  

Don't have an Assembly in your State?  There are some States that are lagging behind and so, remain easy targets for the fraud artists. 

Form your Assembly and stand up for your own State of the Union. You know how.  And if you don't, there is plenty of help already on board to get you started.  

All that Government of, for, and by the People really needs is what? People. 

Your country--the actual factual country-- and your countrymen, need you to wake up and lend a hand.

It's This Simple

By Anna Von Reitz

Americans have recognized Natural and Unalienable Rights and guarantees under the Constitutions. 

United States Citizens and citizens of the United States, do not.  They "voluntarily" subject themselves to the British Queen or the Roman Pontiff, respectively, as a condition of employment.  

Americans are wealthy and are owed the American National Credit --- the flip-side of the US National Debt --- trillions of dollars of credit, plus the control and possession of the assets that credit is based upon.  

United States Citizens (British Territorial Government-- (that is, US Military and Dependents, except properly, the US Army and Submarine Corps and Coast Guard) and Municipal citizens of the United States (that is, all Federal Civil Service and Agency Personnel, dependents and officers) are inheritors of the US National Debt.  

Americans have been systematically misidentified as United States Citizens and/or citizens of the United States via the Birth Certification process --- their political status has been falsified and their identities have been stolen to promote fraud against them and to deprive them of their birthright --- their Natural and Unalienable Rights, their Constitutional Guarantees, their National Credit, and the possession of their assets.  

United States Citizens and citizens of the United States have acted in the same role as Credit Card Hackers against their actual employers, the American States and People.  They have also embezzled the profit from this activity and failed to balance the books, resulting in the accumulation of their "US National Debt".  They have practiced numerous other kinds of fraud and criminal activities including: 

(1) Inequitable exchange rates; 

(2) Collection of "federal income taxes" from non-federal sources; 

(3) Racketeering and extortion of double billings; 

(4) Off-shore tax sheltering and embezzlement of funds from unauthorized 

fraudulently constructed public trusts; 

(5) Collection of property taxes from the landlords and patent owners misrepresented as "tenants"; 

(6) Collection of franchise taxes under False Presumptions of enfranchisement; 

(7) Illegal impound, illegal detainment, illegal arrest, impersonation, and barratry against land assets and landsmen-- acts of violent piracy; 

(8) Illegal conscription of  involuntary service and illegal licensing of rights; 

(9) Illegal confiscation of assets and illegal undisclosed registration processes. 

(10) Unlawful conversion of private assets for use as public assets; 

(11) Unlawful conversion of private persons for use as public persons. 

(12) Abuse of the courts, unlawful probate, illegal bankruptcy protection, and imposition of de facto martial law. 

The two brands of foreign for-profit corporations that have been providing you with "essential government services" have also been usurping upon your lawful American Government, and have been operating as crime syndicates  --- the Municipal Government and 185,000-plus unauthorized Municipalities is directly chartered by the Holy See and the British Territorial (Commonwealth) Government also belongs to the Holy See, administered by the British Monarch.  

They have tried to pass responsibility for this Mess on to the United Nations organization, but have no authority to do so.  They are currently rampaging around trying to cast their debts off onto any bystander and refusing to do what has to be done: discharge the Odious Debt they have created and release the assets back to the actual owners. 

Every American who has been mistakenly functioning as a "US Citizen" --and who is not currently a US Military or Federal Civil Service Employee of any kind, needs to wake up and re- establish their identity as an American.  We have to realize that our identity has been stolen, our credit has been hacked, and our assets have been seized upon under False Presumptions.  

As Americans, you are owed every jot of the Constitutional Agreements, and you are owed both the return of your assets free and clear of encumbrance, and the return of profit made from the use of your assets during your "absence"---even though you actually never went anywhere in the first place.  

You are not in debt and you are not involved in any "war".  

Stand up for yourselves and say so.  Correct your political status records and help re-populate your State Assemblies and re-establish your lawful court system.

Not a Re-Set -- A Re-Venue

By Anna Von Reitz

While everyone is being entertained by the circus of obvious lies and finger-pointing in Washington, DC, the rest of us have been evaluating the world as it is, and pulling hard for the world that should be. 

My Team and I are being bad-mouthed seven ways to Sunday, and here we are. It's Sunday.  

Those who are bad-mouthing us and what we have done to shut them down are angry for four reasons: (1) their efforts to unjustly enrich themselves at everyone else's expense have been exposed and objected to; (2) the nature of the "Federal Reserve Note" as military script (you guys who have lived overseas on long tours know all about that) has been exposed; (3) the Pope has to pay his own debts; (4) their Queen doesn't get to claim any more American assets.  

From the perspective of "the rest of us" all four points are good news.  It's only the crooks and the usurping foreign governments who lose.  

So we will be happy to accept our enemies for the sake of our friends and family, who would otherwise be stuck (again) bearing the brunt of this con game. 

A great deal has been said and written about "the Global Re-Set" --- what this refers to is essentially re-setting the game board of currency values, and set up another round of the Same Old Game of currency manipulation.  

It's just an offer to use the Exchange Stabilization Fund (translation: World Currency Value Commodity Rigging Fund) in a different way --- a way that will impoverish most people on the planet for the benefit of a few.  As usual.  Of course, those few who are "in on it" are anxious for the wheels to roll and at least some of them see themselves as White Knights, who will spend all their ill-gotten gain on philanthropic projects.  

That does, of course, skip over the "ill-gotten" part, which is what disturbs the rest of us who have learned the lesson that the ends do not --- ever --- justify the means.  

Numerous variations on the theme have been played out over the last twenty years.  On the banker's side, it comes down to an issue of control.  They don't care about how much money or where it is flowing as much as they care about being able to control it.  Anything that leaves them firmly ensconced in the middleman comptroller position is fine with them. 

The problem is that they have not proven to be honest or competent comptrollers and all our efforts to establish and maintain proper oversight of the bankers and brokers have been overcome by blackmail and bribery.  

So what's a responsible government to do?  

Re-set the game board?  Give new players the poker chips with the same old casino operators in charge?  

That's what the "Global Currency Re-Set" is all about.  It's not a fundamental change in the game at all. 

As The Who put it many years ago ---- "Meet the New Boss.... same as the Old Boss..... and pray we don't get fooled again...."  

It is essential that all of us, worldwide, don't get fooled again.  It is time to clear the game board and institute new ways of monitoring and disciplining banks and brokers alike.  

A return to Glass-Steagall is part of it.  The actual implementation of a working Mutual Offset Credit Exchange System is crucial. The enforcement of Anti-Monopoly and Anti-Trust Law is fundamental.  Public access to consumer protection against loan fraud artists, enforcement of anti-slavery and anti-peonage provisions of the Public Law, and shutting down the "Private Placement Trading Platforms" all play a part.  

In sum total, Wall Street and its Evil Step-Sisters, have to be brought to heel, and so must the Central Banks and the major brokerages and bond and stock issuing agencies, which have all been motivated by profit to engage in criminal activities that are profoundly injurious to living people and the Public Good.  

Our demand to bankrupt and liquidate the offending organizations is a first step toward recognition of the actual problem.  It isn't that the "system is broken".  

It's a matter of the system being criminal and irresponsible and out of control. It's a matter of employees preying upon their employers.  It's a matter of justice being up-ended, so that criminals run the courts and private, for-profit "Public Policies" masquerade as Public Law. 

It's time for a show down --- not at the Okay Corral, but in the hearts and minds of people throughout the world.  

Is this how we want to live?  Being harassed by our employees?  Having our private property stolen and conscripted without remuneration?  Having our interests as Priority Creditors stonewalled under False Pretenses?  Being coerced into a system of Corporate Feudalism that makes Colonialism look tame by comparison?  

We don't need a "Re-Set" of the Same Old Same Old.  We need a "Re-Venue"--- a return to the Law of the Land and to the Public Law being enforced against the offending corporations.  We need a "lawful conversion" to reverse and remedy the "unlawful conversion" created by FDR.  

And most of all, we need people to wake up and realize that while they may have the right to self-govern, they have to act upon that right and accept that duty before it means anything.

  

Owing to the disgraceful disservice we have received at the hands of Territorial and Municipal Employees, our political status records have been falsified.  So the first Order of Business is to correct these records and declare our actual birthright political status as American State Nationals ---  as per their own Federal Code -- at 8 USC 1101 (a) 21.   Record your political status documents and land your Notice on US Secretary of State Pompeo's desk.

And after that, it is up to each one of us to take the next necessary step and accept the responsibility that goes with the right to self-govern: joining our State Assemblies and working hard to restore the civilian court system and lawful means of enforcement we are owed.  

Freedom isn't free.  Sometimes it requires action on the battlefield, and sometimes it requires knowing who you are, and sometimes it requires acting upon your responsibilities as an American to exercise your right to self-govern and enforce all the other rights and material interests you are heir to.  

Nobody can do that "for" you.  It's that lonesome valley we have to walk by ourselves, rooted in our self-knowledge, in our sense of justice, and our determination not be be ruled over by self-serving corporations.  

Some people have misunderstood --- accidentally-on-purpose --- my role as Fiduciary of The United States of America.  

Please note, that there are supposed to be around 270 million adults in this country, and therefore, around 270 million Fiduciaries; instead, when Push Came to Shove, only one lonely old woman stepped forward to do her Public Duty. 

While the rest of you slept, I was awake and objected to having our entire portion of the North American continent claimed by foreign creditors of the Municipal and Territorial Governments, with all our property both public and private offered up by the con artists as "Abandoned Property" and then also subjected to Civil War against us -- the actual Priority Creditors -- who would be considered mere "unknown tenants" and "disregarded entities" in our own country.   

So why am I the Fiduciary?  Because I am the only one who did the job.  And, by the way, there's more than enough room for all of you to step forward and do your Public Duty, too.  That action on your parts is long overdue.  

I am quite elderly and my husband is even older.  We do not cherish having our household in a continual state of chaos as we endeavor to meet the needs of an actual government for this country.  We don't like being pressed into such service under such hair-raising circumstances. and we don't appreciate the guile and disservice of our employees, either.  We are, frankly, wondering what's wrong with the rest of you?  

Your identity has been stolen.  Your credit has been hacked.  You are "presumed" to be holding the bag for all these debts you never knew about and never approved of.  And you are just standing there?  The willing victim?  How fast would you react if someone stole your credit cards and racked up $30,000.00 in bogus purchases?  

You want your freedom?  Well, God gave it to you, but it's always something you have to earn by accepting the Gift and standing up for it and making use of it.  Don't put your freedom on a shelf.  Don't think that when the guns are silent, there are no enemies sneaking around trying to steal your birthright from you. 

What they could not take by force of arms, they have endeavored to take by deceit and guile.  And they have been unimaginably successful --- right up until the point that we denied the Joint Chiefs any plausible deniability for their preparations for Civil War.  Right up until the point where we addressed the Pope and said ---- "What's going on here?"  

This is you and your family, not just ours, faced with the looming prospect of having foreign mercenaries on your doorsteps, presenting you with bills you know nothing about --- bills that were "hypothecated" against your credit and your assets by treasonous individuals in the Municipal United States Congress, pretending to "represent" you.  

It is more than high time to present yourselves and give meaning and flesh and power to the American Experiment.  Declare yourselves to be Americans, now that you have been warned that your identity as such has been stolen.  And boot up.  Get moving now to build and re-populate your State Assemblies in every State of the Union.  

Restore your own government. 

Take back your seat of power and kick these interlopers in the butt.  We have done the work and done the research to know for sure what happened and when and at whose hands this country has been betrayed.  We also know what has to be done to restore the Public Law --- the actual Law, not merely the "Rule of Law" masquerading as Law.  

So stop arguing and stop wondering and running amok.  This is your country.  A handful of us have saved it for you and held the door open so that you can come home and can claim your birthright as an American.  Do so.  We didn't say it would be easy or fashionable---- only possible, and dependent on what you do today.  

Our Law Team is hard-pressed.  Grandma's Cupboard is bare.  The winter is coming.  The country remains operating --- unnecessarily --- using military script "as" money, when in fact, we are the principal owners of most of the actual assets of this country and the world.  Rank and file Americans aren't the only ones who need to wake up.  

We are being robbed in broad daylight and those responsible for protecting our "persons and property" are sitting on their thumbs, trying to figure some dim way to further unconscionably access our credit.   

Re-directing attention away from a Re-Set and toward a  Re-Venue instead, means an end to Business as Usual and the return of wealth to each country and to the living people worldwide, which also means a whole new basis for funding government operations.  

As my Mother used to sing out early on Saturday morning --- "Wake up!  Daylight in the Swaaaaammmps!"  

Donations are needed to keep going forward.  I am still acting as Paymaster. All our people are continuing to work as Volunteers dependent on gifts to get through and keep pressing onward, just as our Forefathers had to depend on gifts to fund the Revolution.  Please help if you can.  Please step forward and make the difference necessary to stop Corporate Feudalism in its tracks.

Feast of Christ the King - Last Sunday in October

On October 30. 2011, The last Sunday in October, about 3 years before I knew anything about Anna Von Reitz, I wrote the following on the Feast of Christ the King.   Paul Stramer

Most of the founders of our country were keen to say that our country was founded on Christian principles, and our form of government would work for no other people than a Christian people. The saying "No King but Jesus" was popular then as it is in some circles now.

Today is celebrated in the Catholic Church the idea that Jesus is the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords" which is expressed in different words today. Today it might be said that Jesus should be the King over all government agents, employees, and office holders, and that if He isn't held as such by those people our country is doomed and judged to fall into oblivion, since the form of government we have (Constitutional Republic) will work for no other people.

Some years ago I shocked a group of patriots at a dinner in Kalispell by making the statement that my whole purpose in being a patriot was to restore the Kingship of Jesus over our country. That form of government could be expressed as a "Constitutional Monarchy by the King of Kings, Jesus Christ". Of course that would not change our form of government, in corporal terms, one bit, but it would restore the ideas of the founders and infuse reality and truth into the people who have sworn to uphold and protect and defend the US Constitution, which I believe was somewhat Divinely Inspired.

(Today I would have to say that it was the Declaration of Independence written by Jefferson that most expressly and accurately reflected the truth of the Natural Law rather than the Constitution.)

How would restoring the Kingship of Jesus effect our country. Who is this King?  Jesus is the second person of the Blessed Trinity, The Word of God Made Man. In other words Jesus is 'Truth Personified'. He is God, along with the Father and the Holy Spirit. Co-equal with them, but possessing a second nature, the nature of Man. He has both the nature of God, and the nature of man in one person. That is the miracle. He is the Christ of the Lord, and the Lord of Lords, meaning that from His role as Redeemer, and Saviour, and first born from the dead he has the supremacy in all things, in all creation, and by Him and His Sacrifice the door to heaven has been opened and we all have a chance to be saved.
  
You might ask then, like the jews asked, why didn't he stay and rule in bodily form? (restore the kingdom of Israel)  The fact is that he DID restore His Kingdom, but His Kingdom, as He told Pontius Pilate, is NOT of this world.

So how would His Kingdom be restored inside our government?

By giving people in government an example of true Christian Charity, and offering them a way OUT of their dilemma. Most people connected with government have taken an Oath to the same God to uphold, defend, and protect the US Constitution. All they need to do to restore the Kingship of Christ in their lives is to keep that oath. What a change that would make in our country. If people in government will just start keeping their oath, they will redeem themselves in God's eyes, while making a very positive change for the better in all the duties of their own office or position.

Restoring the Kingship of Jesus Christ by keeping their oath would completely restore our country in just a few months, and perhaps change entirely the judgement of God in our regard.  Remember when Jona preached in Nivea and the King commanded that all should restore justice and do penance. God had mercy on their city, like he can have mercy on our country if we just keep our Oath to Him.

Help me now to Celebrate the Kingship of Jesus Christ as Lord of Lords, and King of Kings, and pray with me the prayers of the Mass for his feast.

THE FEAST OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, KING, (Last Sunday in October)
Double feast of the First Class

Introit, Apoc. 5, 12; 1, 6
The Lamb that was slain is worthy to receive power, and divinity, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, To Him be glory and empire for ever and ever. Ps 71,1. Give to the King Thy judgment, O God; and to the King's Son Thy justice. 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.

Prayer;
Almighty and eternal God, Who hast wished to restore all things through Thy beloved Son, the King of the universe, graciously grant that all the families of the Gentiles separated by the wound of sin, may be subjected to His most loving dominion, Who with Thee liveth and reignest, in the Unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end, Amen.

Epistle Col. 1, 12-20

Brethren, we give thanks to God the Father, Who hath made us worthy to be partakers of the lot of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of the Son of His love. In Whom we have redemption through His blood, and remission of sins; Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature; for in Him were all things created in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or dominations, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him and in Him. And He is before all, and by Him all things consist. And He is the head of the body, the Church, Who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things He may hold the primacy: because in Him, it hath well pleased the Father, that all fullness should dwell; and through Him to reconcile all things unto Himself, making peace through the blood of His cross, both as to the things that are on earth, and the things that are in heaven, in Christ Jesus Our Lord.

Gradual. Ps. 71,  8, 11

He shall rule from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth. And all kings of the earth shall adore Him: all nations shall serve Him.

Alleluia, alleluia. His power is an everlasting power that shall not be taken away: and His kingdom that shall not be destroyed. Alleluia.

Gospel. John 18, 33-37

At that time: Pilate said to Jesus; Art thou the King of the Jews? Jesus answered: Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or have others told it thee of Me? Pilate answered: Am I a  Jew? Thy own nation, and the chief priests, have delivered thee up to me: what hast thou done?  Jesus answered: My kindgom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would certainly strive that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now My kingdom is not from hence. Pilate therefore said to him: Art thou a king then? Jesus answered: Thou sayest that I am a King. For this was I born, and for this came I into the world; that I should give testimony to the truth, Everyone that is of the truth, hearreth My voice.

Offertory. Ps. 2, 8

Ask of Me, and I will give The the Gentiles for Thy inheritance, and the utmost parts of the earth for Thy possession.

Secret

O Lord, we offer Thee this host for the reconciliation of humanity; grant, we beseech Thee, that Jesus Christ Thy Son our Lord, Whom we immolate in this sacrifice, will bestow on all Gentiles the gifts of unity and peace, Who with Thee liveth and reignest in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end, Amen.

Communion.

The Lord shall sit King forever. The Lord will bless His people with peace.

Postcommunion

Fed with this immortal nourishment, we beseech Thee, O Lord, that we who glory to fight under the standard of Christ the King, may forever reign with Him on the heavenly throne. Who with Thee liveth and reignest, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end, Amen.

NO KING BUT JESUS !

Twentieth Sunday After Pentecost

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

The Introit of the Mass is an humble prayer, by which we acknowledge that we are punished for our disobedience:

INTROIT All that thou hast done to us, O. Lord, thou hast done in true, judgment: because we have sinned against thee, and have not obeyed thy commandments: but give glory to thy name, and deal with us according to the multitude of thy mercy. (Dan. III. 28.) Blessed are the undefiled in the way: who walk in the law of the Lord. (Fs. CXVIII.). 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 Grant, we beseech Thee, O Lord, in Thy mercy to Thy faithful pardon and peace; that they may both be cleansed from all their offences, and serve Thee with a quiet mind. 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 (Ephes. V. 15-21.) Brethren, See how you walk circumspectly, not as unwise, but as wise redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore, become not unwise, but understanding what is the will of God. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is luxury: but be ye filled with the Holy Spirit, speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns, and spiritual canticles, singing and making melody in your hearts to the Lord: giving thanks always for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God and the Father; being subject one to another in the fear of Christ.

How may we redeem time?

By employing every moment to gain eternal goods, even should we lose temporal advantages thereby; by letting no opportunity pass without endeavoring to do good, to labor and, suffer for love of God, to improve our lives, and increase in, virtue.

Do you wish to know, says the pious Cornelius á Lapide, how precious time is: Ask the damned, for these know it from experience. Come, rich man, from the abyss of hell, tell us what you would give for one year, one day, one hour of time! I would, he says, give a whole world, all pleasures, all treasures, and bear all torments. O, if only one moment were granted me to have contrition for my sins, to obtain forgiveness of my crimes, I would purchase this moment with every labor, with any penance, with all punishments, torments and tortures which men ever suffered in purgatory or in hell, even if they lasted hundreds, yes, thousands of millions of years! O precious moment upon which all eternity depends! O, how many moments did you, my dear Christian, neglect, in which you could have served God, could have done good for love of Him, and gained eternal happiness by them, and you have lost these precious moments. Remember, with one moment of time, if you employ it well, you can purchase eternal happiness, but with all eternity you cannot purchase one moment of time!

ASPIRATION Most bountiful God and Lord! I am heartily sorry, that I have so carelessly employed the time which Thou bast given me for my salvation. In order to supply what I have neglected, as far as I am able, I offer to Thee all that I have done or suffered from the first use of my reason, as if I had really to do and suffer it still; and I offer it in union with all the works and sufferings of our Saviour, and beg fervently, that Thou wilt supply, through His infinite merits, my defects, and be pleased with all my actions and sufferings.

Be not drunk with wine, wherein is luxury!

[On the vice of drunkenness see the third Sunday after Pentecost Here we will speak only of those who make others drunk by encouragement.] The Persian King Assuerus expressly forbade that any one should be urged to drink at his great banquet. (Esth. I. 8.) This heathen who knew from the light of reason, that it is immoral to lead others to intemperance, will one day rise in judgment against those Christians who, enlightened by the light of faith, would not recognize and avoid this vice. Therefore the Prophet Isaias (V. 22.) pronounces woe to those who are mighty in drinking and know how to intoxicate others; and St. Augustine admonishes us, by no means to consider those as friends, who by their fellowship in drinking would make us enemies of God.

GOSPEL (John IV. 46-53.) At that time, There was a certain ruler whose son was sick at Capharnaum. He having heard that Jesus was come from Judea into Galilee, went to him, and prayed him to come down, and heal his son; for he was at the point of death. Jesus therefore said to him: Unless you see signs and wonders, you believe not. The ruler with to him: Lord, come down before my son die. Jesus saith to him: Go thy way, thy son liveth. The man believed the word which Jesus said to him, and went his way. And as he was going down, his servants met him, and they brought word, saying that his son lived. He asked therefore of them the hour wherein he grew better. And they said to him: Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. The father therefore, knew that it was at the same hour that Jesus said to him: Thy son liveth: and himself believed. and his whole house.

INSTRUCTIONS

I.God permitted the son of the ruler to become sick that he might ask Christ for the health of his son, and thus obtain true faith and eternal happiness. In like manner, God generally seeks to lead sinners to Himself, inasmuch as He brings manifold evils and misfortunes either upon the sinner himself or on his children, property, etc. Hence David said: It is good for me that thou hast humbled me, that I may learn thy justifications, (Ps. CXVIII. 71.) and therefore he also asked God to fill the faces of sinners with shame, that they should seek His name. (Ps. LXXXII. 17.) This happened to those of whom David says: Their infirmities were multiplied: afterwards they hastened in returning to God. (Ps. XV. 4.) O would we only do the same! When God sends us failure of crops, inundations, hail-storms, dearth, war, etc., He wishes nothing else than that we abandon sin and return to Him. But what do we? Instead of hastening to God, we take refuge in superstition, or we murmur against Him, find fault with or even blaspheme His sacred regulations; instead of removing our sins by sincere penance, we continually commit new ones, by murmuring and impatience, by hatred and enmity, by rash judgments, as if the injustice and malice of others were the cause of our misfortune. What will become of us if neither the benefits nor the punishments of God make us better?
II. Christ said to this ruler: Unless you see signs and wonders, you believe not. This was a reprimand for his imperfect faith; for if he. had truly believed Christ to be the Son of God, he would not have asked Him to come to his house, but, like the centurion, would have believed Him able, though absent, to heal His son. (Matt. VIII.) Many Christians deserve the same rebuke from Christ, because they lose nearly all faith and confidence in God, when He does not immediately help them in their troubles, as they wish. He proves to us how displeasing such a want of confidence is to Him by withdrawing His assistance and protection from the fickle and distrustful. (Ecclus. II. 15.)
II. How much may not the example of the father of a family accomplish! This ruler had no sooner received the faith, than his whole household was converted and believed in Christ. Fathers and mothers by their good example, by their piety, frequent reception of the Sacraments, by their meekness, temperance, modesty and other virtues, may accomplish incalculable good among their children and domestics.

CONSOLATION IN SICKNESS

There was a certain ruler whose son was sick. (John IV. 16.)

As a consolation in sickness, you should consider that God sends you this affliction for the welfare of' your soul, that you may know your sins; or if you be innocent, to practice patience, humility, charity, etc., and increase your merits. Therefore a holy father said to one of his companions, who complained, because he was sick: "My son! if you are gold, then you will be proved by sickness, but if you are mixed with dross, then you will be purified." "Many are vicious in health," says St. Augustine, "who would be virtuous in sickness;" and St. Bernard says: "It is better to arrive at salvation through sickness, than to have health and be damned."

It is also a powerful means of consolation in sickness, to represent to ourselves the suffering Redeemer, who had no soundness from the top of His head to the sole of His foot, and contemplating whom St. Bonaventure used to cry out: "O Lord, I do not wish to live without sickness, since I see Thee wounded so much."

When sick, we should carefully examine, whether we possess any ill-gotten goods, or have any other secret sin on our conscience; and if we are conscious of any, we should quickly free ourselves from it by a contrite, sincere confession, and by restoring the things belonging to others. Sins are very often the cause of disease, and God does not bless the medicine unless the sickness effects its object, that is, the sinners amendment. Still less can we expect help, but rather temporal and eternal misfortune, if we have recourse to superstition, and spells, as the King Ochozias experienced, who was punished with death, because in sickness he had recourse to the idol Beelzebub. (IV Kings I.)

PRAYER O Jesus, Thou true physician of souls, who dost wound and heal us, yea, dost even permit sorrows and adversities to visit us that our souls may have health, grant us the grace to use every bodily pain according to Thy merciful designs for the promotion of our salvation.

INSTRUCTION ON CARE OF THE SICK

Come down before my son die. (John IV. 49.)

All who have the charge of sick persons, should be like this father, that is, they should first of all endeavor to call upon Jesus to come in the most holy Sacrament, before the sick person is unable to receive Him. The devil seeks to hinder nothing more than this. He excites the imagination of the sick person, making him believe that he can live longer, that he will certainly get well again, in order to ruin him easier afterwards, because he defers his conversion. Those contribute to this end who through fear of frightening the sick person or of annoying him, fail to call the priest at the right time. This is cruel love, which deprives the sick person of the salvation of his soul and eternal happiness, and brings with it a terrible responsibility. Where there is question of eternity, no carefulness can be too great. We should, therefore, choose the safest side, because the suffering may easily increase and finally make the sick person unable to attend to the affairs of his soul. We should, therefore, not conceal from him the danger in which he is, and if he has still the use of his reason, should call in the priest that he may receive the Last Sacraments. He will not die sooner on that account, but rather derive the greatest benefit therefrom, since his conscience will be cleansed from sin, which may be the cause of his sickness, and perhaps, he may regain his health, or at least be strengthened by the newly received grace of God, to bear his pains with greater patience and to die far easier, securer, and more consoled. We should also endeavor to encourage the sick person to resignation, and a childlike confidence in God, should pray with him to strengthen him against desponding thoughts, and the temptations of the devil; we should present him a crucifix to kiss; repeat the holy names of Jesus, Mary and Joseph, and other consolatory ejaculations, such as are found in prayer-books; should sign him with the sign of the cross; sprinkle him with holy water, and above all pray for a happy death. We should not weep and lament, by which death is only made harder for him, nor should we hold useless, idle and worldly conversations with him which will prevent him from thinking of God and the salvation of his soul, and from preparing himself for the last dangerous struggle. Finally, we should by no means suffer in his presence persons who have given him occasions of committing sin, because they would be obstacles to his sincere conversion.

There is truly no greater work of charity than to assist our neighbor to a happy death.

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?
