Use Disclaimers

 

By Anna Von Reitz

When this whole Mess started to become really oppressive for doctors and other health care professionals, my doctor (who was better informed than most) decided that whatever income she received from treating "Federal" patients wasn't worth the hassle.
So she gave up her license to treat Federal Patients or work in Federal Hospitals. She screens new patients and if she gets a Federale or one of their Dependents, she just sends them next door to a "licensed" MD. No problem. If anyone asks, she is a "Private Physician" and that's the way it is.
What about unincorporated Beauty Salon owners who are being regulated right out of business?
Same basic problem.
Salon owners are being licensed to style hair for Federal Citizens and citizens of the United States. How many of them walk through your door? Unless you are working in Washington, DC., or near another big hub of Federal activity, you won't see many actual Federal Employees or Dependents.
So you just put up a sign with a Public Disclaimer on it:
"This establishment is a private business. We are not licensed to provide services to Federal Employees or their Dependents. Accept service at your own risk."
Any unincorporated business owner who is being imposed upon by the "Federal Government" or their "State of State" franchise corporations is free to do the same thing: use a disclaimer to put the responsibility back on the customer to choose whether they trust your service or not.
The right to contract (or not) is guaranteed by the Constitutions and the Federal Code and the United States Statutes-at-Large.
This option is precisely how they get away with claiming that you "volunteered" to be licensed-- because if you don't want a license to do business with Federal clients-- you can simply post a Disclaimer and dispense with licensing "requirements".
Let the customers make their own decisions, contract for whatever services they need privately, and that, as they say, is that. As long as you don't incorporate your business, you can use simple Disclaimers and Notices of this kind (shown above) to get Big Brother out of your hair and keep Big Brother out of your hair.
Literally.
Same thing with "licensed and bonded" contractors. Use the same disclaimer. Forego the licensing and bonding. You can post a service bond with a bonding company as a form of additional insurance, if you like, but building or remodeling homes, for example, is another occupation of common right that the federal corporations are seeking to commandeer and regulate out of existence.
I can't speak for the rest of America, but I prefer working with independent workmen and small family businesses that take pride in their work and who don't have to be licensed and bonded, because they are putting their own good names and reputations on the line.
The big corporations may want to work with big corporations, so let them. If you are a small business, there is no reason to play in their much bigger and far more dangerous sandbox.
You will be much better off avoiding their demands and interference and it is simple to do, so long as you: (1) don't incorporate what you are doing; (2) post a proper disclaimer if you are involved in occupations that are otherwise "licensed" in your State.
One other caveat --- always remember that the Federales do have the right to regulate interstate sale, transport, and manufacture of alcohol, tobacco, and firearms. If you are involved in these activities on an interstate basis, licensing or other restrictions may apply.

Meet Bessie, the Wonder Car

 

By Anna Von Reitz

Our family, like most American families, is divided by the perennial Ford versus Chevrolet argument.  I never thought too much about it and have had both Fords and Chevrolet trucks over the years.  

About twenty years ago, give or take a couple, I bought "Bessie", a  used 1991 Ford Explorer, as a work truck..  

Both my husband and older sons stared at me in disbelief.  

"You bought a Ford Exploder?"  They howled with laughter, shook their heads, and stamped their feet.  

"You wanna go broke on car repairs, Mom?"  

I think Bessie heard that remark.  She promptly proved them wrong and year after year, she clicked along like a sewing machine, requiring little more than regular lube, oil, and wiper blades.  

Minus fifty?  Turn on the oil pan and head bolt heaters for an hour, and Bessie would start.  Volcanic dust? She'd keep chugging. 

My work took me deep into the hintermost portions of Alaska's road system, down the Alcan Highway, and up the Dalton Highway hundreds of miles above the Arctic Circle---- "up and over" some of the most remote country and roughest roads in America.  Bessie rolled her way over the Denali Highway, which isn't really a highway as you all might understand it, and deep into the Denali National Park.  She took ferry rides to places like Kodiak and seemed to enjoy the salt spray splashing over her nose. 

Now, I will readily admit that my husband's Chevy Pick-Up is a very good truck and easy to keep in repair and a gallant hearted machine if ever there was one. 
Yes, I readily admit this, and yet....

When Bessie topped over 400,000 miles on her first engine, I said, "That sticks it." --- and I took a picture of her and wrote up and sent in a story about her to The Detroit Free Press, giving the UAW a resounding "Huzzah!" for a Job Well Done.  

Proof's in the pudding.  You can't argue about 400,000 miles on a single engine.  You can't poo-poo entire years of service with no repairs at all.  

Ford fans went crazy and soon there were more stories, "Still Rolling in Alaska!" got aired all around the globe.  My ancient  Ford Explorer basked in the well-deserved glory and we just kept on keeping on.  2021 will mark her 30th birthday.  

But Bessie is on life-support now.  She needs a part that we can't find anywhere.  All you Ford Fanatics out there, all you boys who have a favorite junkyard just like you have a favorite fishing hole---- everyone, please help. 

What we need is technically described as the "Fuel Pressure Regulator Return Line".  It's a piece of braided steel hose with connectors on both ends, one metal connector feeding back to the fuel tank, and one snap-on plastic connector feeding into the Fuel Pressure Regulator itself.  

Typical -- the plastic snap connection broke off. 

This particular hose was standard issue from 1989 onward for a number of years, including 1991 from what we've been able to gather.   The Parts Number for the hose is: FOTZ-9C968-A, and the whole Fuel Supply and Return System Parts Number (which would include the phantom hose) is: FZTZ-9J338-N. 

Please scrounge around and see what you can find, guys. 

Bessie is a living symbol of American know-how, American engineering, and American quality --- because she is all of that, and more. She's an American from the tip of her antenna to the rubber on her treads. Detroit might have built better cars, but I don't know how or when.  

Bessie is the toughest, scrappiest, most enduring car I ever owned, and let's face it, she's a lot like her owner. It's only right and fitting that she should be wearing a set of our new Private Owner Plates and be part of the All-American Brass Tacks Tour, trundling from town to town and sharing our history with people across America.  

So shake a leg, brothers and sisters.  She's one of ours and she's down for the count.  We've already scrounged through every junkyard in Alaska, and all the internet After Market sites we could find, but someone, somewhere has this part, either in a scrap yard or hiding in the back of their shop.  

Either call me at (907) 250-5087, or email at: avannavon@gmail.com with subject line: "Bessie".

Nasty Gambits -- Why State-of-State Constitutions Don't Apply to Us

 

By Anna Von Reitz

It appears that I need to explain some more about your Counties and their Soil Jurisdiction (also known as National Jurisdiction, because that is what it is.)
The Counties are the Supreme Local Government within their physical borders. The actual County is run by a County Assembly -- not a "Council", not a "Commission" --- a County Assembly.
County Councils are part of the Territorial Government. Commissions are part of the Municipal Government. You are "none of the above".
You are the Third Man Out. You are, nonetheless, the actual Government.
County Assemblies are formed by people declaring and acting in their birthright political status as Americans. Not U.S. Citizens. Not "citizens of the United States".
Counties and their people also act as the People of their State. The People and the State operate in international jurisdiction. The way our Forefathers set things up, the only interface that the County Assemblies have with international jurisdiction, is via their State and its State Assembly.
This prevents the County Governments from making separate deals with foreign powers and letting those foreign powers (think England, France, Russia, etc.) cut this country up like so many pieces of cheese on a cheese board.
In the same way, the Federal Constitutions and The Articles of Confederation serve to prevent the States from making separate deals with foreign powers.
Taken together, the County Assemblies make up the State Assembly.
As we all "come back on the land" and re-populate our States, we also at the same time re-populate our Counties. A Wisconsinite, for example, is by definition a birthright member of The Wisconsin Assembly, and also a member of their County Assembly --- say, The Jackson County Assembly.
The cohesive power of this structure is what has allowed it to endure so many attacks from so many angles, and to withstand so many internal pressures.
Now, here is some important and additional information people have been missing.
There are no "State of State Constitutions" currently in effect that apply to American State Citizens.
For example, the original State of Oregon Constitution adopted in 1859, is not operable because the Reconstruction never got finished.
And the "State of State" Constitution, known as the State of Oregon Constitution adopted after the Civil War, doesn't apply to us chickens, either.
What they are operating under is a Territorial State of State Constitution that applies only to U.S. Citizens, not rank and file Americans.
Same thing with any Municipal STATE OF OREGON CONSTITUTION. It applies only to Municipal "citizens of the United States".
The end result?
Absolutely none of these State level Constitutions apply to any State Citizen.
And, more importantly, anyone who claims to be covered by a State-of-State Constitution, is automatically unable to claim the Guarantees of the Federal Constitutions.
See how that works?
If you claim the State of State Constitution you are automatically presumed to be a Foreigner and not owed any of the Guarantees of the Federal Constitutions.
Of all the nasty tricks employed by the Territorial and Municipal Corporations to prey upon Americans, this is perhaps the most pernicious. Their Judges and Prosecutors will almost always make a reference to the State-of-State Constitution and see how you react.
If you take their bait and seek protection under the State of State Constitution you are branded as a Foreigner and denied any protection under the Federal Constitutions.
Neat, huh? But not in a good way.
Generations of trusting Americans have been hoodwinked by people in their employ, misidentified, and mercilessly defrauded, because they, in turn, mistook the Territorial State of State Constitution as their own.
If any Judge says that they are operating under the State of Ohio Constitution, for example, ask them which "Ohio" they are representing? Territorial or Municipal? That will set them back on their curly haunches.
And follow up with a quick, "I am not aware of any State-of-State Constitution having anything to do with me or my assets. I am an American owed the Federal Constitutions."

Corporations Are The Problem

 

By Anna Von Reitz

I have pointed out before that most people who have incorporated their businesses have no idea what they gave up by doing so.
They think they are getting bankruptcy protection, which they are, but in exchange, they are giving up their businesses. They are becoming "public" entities and are publicly-owned and subject to government control, regulation and taxation as a result.
The business and the assets they have slaved for and built, are no longer theirs----and this is done with the stroke of a pen and their own ignorance.
Why?
Because they haven't agreed to be accountable for their private business and its operations, the State of State organization has stepped into that role, and from now on, will tell them what to do and how to do it.
Even worse, the operators and owners of these incorporated entities all become "corporate officers" in the same manner and basic meaning of "ship's officers". They become "personnel" of what were once their own businesses---- and they, too, are then obligated to do and perform whatever the State of State Legislature demands of them, and whatever the Congress dictates.
And this is all because they chose to incorporate their businesses.
A slightly different but similar situation results throughout the health industry, via the licensing of health professionals as "Uniformed Officers".
This license allows the victims to treat Federal Citizens and "citizens of the United States", who legitimately make up about 20% of the population.
In exchange for being able to treat this relatively small percentage of the population, our doctors give up their freedom as private physicians and redefine themselves via the license as "Medical Doctors"--- thereby becoming liable to obey all codes and regulations, and to pay all taxes and fees imposed.
How many Medical School graduates would freely and voluntarily agree to becoming "licensed personnel" if they really knew what that means?
This is all done by corporations to the populace of this country and every other country on Earth. This is how the corporate business managers have contrived to deceive and control millions of people and subject these "slaves and indentured servants" to foreign international and global legal systems that actually have nothing to do with the victims.
They claim that you have done this to yourselves, by "volunteering" to incorporate your businesses in exchange for bankruptcy protection, by "applying" for licenses --- to do things that are occupations of common right in this country.
Should you know that the practice of law and medicine are both occupations of common right, and that unless you wish to treat "Federal" patients and work in "Federal" medical facilities or their "Federal" courts, you have no reason to accept a license (Bar Card Account)?
Yes, that should be plainly explained and evident in the paperwork when applying for a medical license or Bar Accounts, but it's not.
Same thing with the Driver License. Unless you are using the public roads for private profit --- as in a taxi or courier service or trucking company, there is no reason for you to "voluntarily" license yourself or redefine your private car as a "motor vehicle".
In these and many other ways, corporations, including the "governmental services corporations" have been preying upon Americans and other people around the world for generations.
This secretive self-service on their parts which results from failing to "fully disclose" the results of their incorporation and licensing activities, has bubbled over into increasing oppression using "Lawfare" to extort money and assets from people, and to interfere with trade and economic activity.
What do you do, once you have fallen into their trap?
Licenses and other registrations can be returned or simply allowed to lapse. Federal Guild Memberships in the Bar Associations and the American Medical Association can similarly be disposed of.
Corporations can be sold to unincorporated businesses, or otherwise dismantled and returned to private trade, unless they are non-profit corporations, in which case, they can only transfer assets to other non-profit corporations or suffer liquidation.
This foregoing provision makes it particularly difficult for churches and other non-profits to get out from under the "government" thrall.
What else can we do?
The actual government of this country, vested in The United States of America, our Federation of independent and sovereign States of the Union, can dissolve corporations for "unlawful activity" and so can the individual States dissolve corporations that have been incorporated by the State-of-State organizations.
In this way, we hold the ultimate club over corporations that have been incorporated "in our names"--- but we must get organized to use it.
This means that many of us must take action to declare our birthright political status as Americans, join our State Assemblies, and stand read to dissolve corporations that have been deliberately operated or misdirected to operate in "unlawful" ways---- which includes failure to fully disclose contractual obligations and results of contract.
We can also impose upon the State-of-State Legislatures to enable incorporated entities to dissolve and restructure without penalty, provided that the Officers of the corporation all claim and admit that they did not know and were not told that they were giving up control and ownership of their private businesses when they decided to incorporate.
This "Escape Hatch" provision should apply to both State-of-State and Federal Corporations, to non-profits and for-profits alike.
If you or someone you love is caught in the trap of incorporation or false licensing, leading to equally false claims that you or they volunteered to subject yourselves to foreign laws, take action now.

Defund the Police? Really?

 

By Anna Von Reitz

At the rate things are going, there won't be any police left to defund.  Many veteran police officers are simply fed up and leaving their jobs.  

Let's face it, being a police officer isn't exactly easy or safe. And when certain elements in the populace turn hostile to the extent exposed by the recent riots---and the rest of the people say and do nothing in support --- what do you expect to happen? 

I've had policemen all over this country tell me flat-out: "Grandma, the only reason I am still here, is because I know that if I leave, I am just making it harder and more dangerous for the guys that stay." 

The even worse part of it, is that "police" as opposed to our "peacekeepers" are actually acting in a totally private capacity, because they are working for private, for-profit  "State of State" and "Municipal" and "City" and "Federal" and "Agency" corporations.  

Sure, they have badges and uniforms, but in terms of their legal capacity, they are working as private security forces for foreign, for-profit corporations under Pinkerton Laws.  

The Law Enforcement Officer (LEO) Sheriffs working for incorporated "Counties" have no actual Public Office, and as the U.S. Supreme Court case, Mack and Prinz v. USA, Inc. put it, it's up to their "discretion" whether or not they defend and support the Constitutions---and your Constitutional rights---at all.  

You're paying for their services, but they aren't obligated to serve you. 

In fact, serving you is the last thing on their corporate bosses' minds. So if these brave men and women use their "discretion" to defend you, they often face demotions and flak from the corporate higher ups and from some of their cohorts, too. 

"I thought I was being smart," one Police Sergeant told me. "I thought --- go along to get along.  Keep the pension.  Wife and kids depending on me...." 

When he finally used his "discretion" and refused to enforce foreign codes and statutes against Americans, refused to evict people from their homes based on fraudulent commercial claims, he was fired ---"not eligible for rehire". 

I am not gilding any lilies, folks. 

Except for private corporate Risk Management insurance, the Law Enforcement Officers have no bonds, no insurance. They are totally, 100%, personally and commercially liable, and when push comes to shove--that is,  when they are given Bad Orders by the corporate bosses, guess who's butt is really on the line?  Theirs. 

No wonder thousands of them are waking up and shuffling on down the road. 

"Beats being dead, beats being spit on to defend the bastards in charge," as one Detective Lieutenant told me, just minutes before he chucked his badge.

To get a taste of what these men and women face in real life, and why so many of them are walking, watch Clint Eastwood's film, "Richard Jewell".  

What happens when there are no police left?  

Then it's up to us to defend ourselves and our families and our communities and our States of the Union.  It's up to us to take up and exercise our lawful offices and jurisdictions to do it, just like the old days. 

The Peacekeepers have arrived. 

And I can tell you that there are a great many Law Enforcement Officers who are very glad to see us.  

Our Peacekeeping Forces occupy the land and soil jurisdiction of this country and work directly for The United States of America---- the unincorporated Federation of States, the States, and the People.  We occupy our lawful State and Federal Offices.  We accept our Public Duty.  We carry Public Bonds. We carry Public Guns.  And yes, those are real Stars you are seeing. 

The Continental Marshals are replacing the old Federal Marshals Service that was defunded and working our international jurisdiction on the land, addressing interstate crimes. 

The State Assembly Militias are the "well-regulated" militias we are guaranteed. 

And our State Assembly Sheriffs are still the supreme elected peacekeeping officials standing on the soil jurisdiction of our unincorporated Counties. 

If some ignorant wet-behind-the-ears corporate attorney tries to tell you anything different, you have the Public Duty to give them a free Public Education.

Monday's Broadcast

 

By Anna Von Reitz

This past Monday, 31st August 2020, I scrounged up six different hats, literally, and did my famous hat trick, wearing a different hat to demonstrate the three (3) Principal Organs and their relationship with the three (3) Contractual Organs.
They are called this because each of the first three act in a Principal Capacity within a specific jurisdiction: air, land, and sea, and the second three entities act as Subcontractors to them and provide services to the Principals.
Here's Your American Government ------
(1) The Union, dba The United States
(2) The Federation, dba The United States of America
(3) The Confederation, dba States of America
Your Government has Power-Sharing Agreements and service contracts called "Constitutions" with these following subcontractors, which function as the Federal Government:
The "US" Federal Government -------
(4) The Federal Republic (American, absent since 1860)
(5) "the" United States of America (British, Territorial Government)
(6) "the" United States (Papist, Municipal Government)
They pair up under their Power-Sharing Agreements like this:
(X) The United States (Union) partners with "the" United States (Municipal)
(XX) The United States of America (Federation) partners with "the" United States of America (Territorial)
(XXX) States of America (Confederation) partners with The Federal Republic. (This whole part of it is gone and needs to be reconstructed.)
But in the meantime, we can function just perfectly well, as we did from 1776 to 1781, with all international and global powers being vested in The United States of America (Federation).
All we need is for you and all the others to figure it out and come join us. Declare your birthright political status, record it, and join your State Assembly.
This is your country, and it's still yours --- provided that you claim it and own it and take responsibility for it.
Go to: www.TheAmericanStatesAssembly.net to learn more.

Intelligence

 

By Anna Von Reitz

As my Mother often observed-- there are many different kinds of what we call "intelligence".  And she was quick to point out that having some form of superior intelligence is not necessarily a blessing, certainly no guarantee of happiness or success in life.  She also, rather glumly, observed that intelligence that is uninformed by compassion and not guided by a firm moral compass is actually a terrible danger. 

"Between the fools and the geniuses...." she'd shake her head, as if this report on our position in the world explained everything bad and frustrating.

Maybe it did.    

She was convinced that I embodied my own unique form of genius and she watched me carefully, pruning out bad ideas as we went, answering such questions as, "If Communists are bad, why don't we just kill them all?" 

These memories jab me whenever I see the word "intelligence", like her ghostly elbow pressing against my ribs.  So naturally, when I see news from "American Intelligence Media", I stop a nanosecond and wonder what kind of intelligence will inform their "intel".  

This morning's offering, the Cat Report, [Mrrrrow!] is very, very good intelligence.  Top notch.   The information presented is not easy to wade through, but the conclusions are sound and presented in nice little sound bites. 


Someone, probably someone employed by a government, or retired from a corporate forensic auditing job somewhere, took the time and made the effort to sort through the interlocking financial relationships of the Pilgrim Society Rockefeller Foundation, and oh, my, my! --- they hit the Mother Lode.  

It turns out that Rockefeller's Pilgrim Society is the glue holding together such disparate interests as Mitt Romney's Bain Capital and the Clinton Foundation and the Wellcome Trust, in one big, ugly, interlocking ball of wax (and cat hair, of course).  

Thanks to those efforts, and the employment of that intelligence, we have the key to the bipartisan influence peddling, meddling, and coercion that has confused observers for decades. 

Simple in its implementation (through financial transactions-- loans and investments and donations) and deadly in its effect, the Pilgrim Society
created its own financial "pipeline" infrastructure, and then used that to do what Rockefellers always do with pipelines: exert coercive control. 

No longer any need to wonder how Romney, Pelosi, Joe Biden, and other Star Players all wound up in the Ukraine, sucking up payola through their children.  

Their hidden relationships are now exposed.  And so are their money laundering and illegal investment opportunities revealed. 

Heck, these pikers don't begin to meet the definition of "non-profit corporations" but they've been allowed to use and abuse that status for years, collectively avoiding payment of billions of dollars in taxes. 

Where's the IRS when you need them?  

Enjoy the view, folks, and download and save this report.  It's part of history in the making. 

And while we are sharing some insights about intelligence, including intelligence that is not informed by compassion or moral compass, please meet Klaus Schwab, Founder of the Davos World Economic Forum. 

He is one of the warped masterminds behind what he calls "The Fourth Industrial Revolution".  Just search for his name or the key words "Fourth Industrial Revolution" on YouTube.  

Government, according to him, is the problem --- not the grossly criminal corporations that are driving the governments and the people of this planet into a future of global enslavement and Corporate Feudalism, dedicated only to self-service and shareholders. 

Did I mention one of the other dangers of intelligence?  Being lop-sided. 

A man like Schwab may be very, very intelligent --- but see things only from his own point of view, and as a result, forge single-mindedly forward to disaster. Such men can't be bothered to listen to lesser intellects. The practical warning voices of The Little People don't matter. 

So the Truth gets drowned out by the roaring arrogance of the ego of men otherwise blessed with intelligence, and the damage caused by them is just as bad as any damage caused by fools.

As Mom would say---- it doesn't matter if you make a mistake because you are a fool and lack the ability to know what to do, or you are a genius, and are so arrogant that you never consider the options.

This is the MOST Important Video in America You Need To See RIGHT NOW


I'm Sorry, For All of You Who Are Just Waking Up

 

By Anna Von Reitz

My husband often looks at me in wonder and says, "How can you eat that?" in reference to say, cold scrambled eggs.  Or, "How can you drink that?" in reference to stone cold coffee. 

The answer as every Mother knows, is that I am used to these conditions.  Mom's food gets cold while she serves and wipes and scuttles around making sure everyone else has what they need.  

That's the way it is, the way it has always been, and barring a miracle, the way it will always be.  

When you become a wife and mother, you lose your selfishness to a painful extent, or you don't succeed in the role. Millions of mothers reading this are thinking about how many plates of cold scrambled eggs and how many cups of cold coffee they have consumed over the years. They are nodding and thinking, yep, that's the way it is.  Cold coffee and dirty socks. 

In the same way, I am inured to harsh language and dealing with bad men.

I have been forced by necessity to get my hands dirty and do hard labor and play many roles for lack of anyone else to do them.  So, I can swear like a sailor, or say my prayers, with equal fervor. And that's just the way it is. 

Many of you out there, especially those who are just awakening, have come out of a system of indoctrination that teaches you to conform to Group-Think, that requires you to value being politically correct, and which teaches you to put on a nice front, regardless of what you do in the backroom or what you think about it.

This is not an accident.  It's called "social programming" and most of it derives from a computer program called "Mindbox", designed to imprison your mind. 

This system of social programming encourages and rewards you for conforming to its standards, even if that means being hypocrites. Or criminals.  It also pays you to be deceitful, quiet, orderly, acquiescent, needy, obedient, and, frankly, not too bright.  It "conditions" you like Pavlov's dog, to have certain expectations and reactions. 

I understand that, but you also have to understand me.  

I come from a different system. The system I come from rewards you for acting independently and taking initiative, for being honest, for living outside the box, for learning to say no, for taking responsibility, for taking care of yourself and others, and for using your brain to think for yourselves.  

My nicey-nice sugary sweet self died a long time ago.  And so did my indoctrinated, politically correct, go-along-to-get-along version.  I don't follow scripts anymore.  I am not your employee or dependent. I'm not part of your political parties. I don't watch the Mainstream Media Show.  I don't put up a false front and I make a terribly poor excuse for a victim. 

I eat cold scrambled eggs and cold coffee and don't even think about it. 

Because I come from a Different System and stand on my own two feet and voice my own opinions, those who are used to the Other System often try to use their values to label, judge, and tame me.  I'm not "professional" according to them --- professional what?  I'm ignorant --- because I make typos and suffer autocorrect. I'm this and I am that, and then, I am some other thing --- in their minds. 

At the end of the day, I am who and what I am, and alarmingly for those who grew up in Politically Correct School --- I make no excuse for it.  That part bothers them most of all.  I don't give a hammer handle what they think, and according to their programming, I should be prostrate with concern, licking their boots, overcome with anxiety, suffering to win their approval.  

The fact that I don't react as they expect suggests that their programming may be wrong.  And that's very upsetting for them, because they have grown used to the Mindbox they've been living in.  It's comforting, even though it's a prison, and the knowledge that there are people out there doing things outside the box and thinking in ways that aren't approved by anyone or anything, is really unsettling to their psyche. 

"Whaaaat?  She doesn't caaare whaaat we think? She doesn't neeed our approval?"  

That's right.  I don't.  So, think about that.  Why is that?  Could it be that Group-Think and Group Approval aren't necessary? Could it be that independent thought and action are actually the natural options? 

And now think about what you have lost and sacrificed in the name of Group-Think and Group Approval?  Your own dreams and your own personality, your own freedom of thought and opinion have all been sacrificed. You've been molded and formed and extruded like dough from a cookie press.  

In your hearts, all of you who are emerging from this vicious politically-correct System of programmed indoctrination---- know it.  You know it, and yet, it's hard to get beyond it and find your own voices. It's hard to dare to be yourself and quell the impulse to look around and see what everyone else is doing.... but that is exactly what you need to do. 

This is Grandma talking.  You can do it.  You can still find out who you are.  You can still live your own life.  Yes, you, too, can be free.  You can stop whipping yourself and beating others to fit the mold expected of you.  

Who made that mold,anyway?  Who are "they" and what authority do they have?  Where do their standards come from?  

Dig into it, and you will discover the Wizard of Oz, a little old con man from Kansas, making it all up as he goes along.  

Grandma doesn't give a fig what he thinks. 

And neither should you.
