Discovering The Book of the States

 By Anna Von Reitz

Over the past year we have worked our way into the recent decades so that more and more people are becoming aware of what I will call "contemporary history" --- because it isn't enough to understand the history of the banks and the corporations and the European Principals.

Oh, no.

We all also have to understand the immediate proceedings that have landed us here, in the middle of The Great Fraud ---- how other Americans responded to it at earlier stages of the development of this "system", or failed to respond, what they did that resulted in undermining our lawful government, what motivated them to "move off the land and soil" and begin operating in the international jurisdiction of the sea, and what is again motivating them to try to move into the global jurisdiction of the air.

One of the most provoking and educational tools we have was provided by a Baptist Minister --- a handwritten copy of The Declaration of Interdependence of the Governments in The United States, and a full breakdown of the organizations and inter-relationships of these organizations which together have comprised "the government" and the "agencies" and the "support organizations" of the New World Order since the late 1800's.

It's all on display for everyone to see, with one set of over-sized charts.

Since this marvelous gift came to light and has since been mass reproduced and distributed to all the Assemblies and made available as a product that you can order and have as your own family copy---- some Wise guys said, yeah, but how do we know this is genuine?

Okay, fair enough. It reeks of "genuine" and is far too complex for any average Hoaxer to undertake, but we are teaching people to be skeptical and look around the corners, so, we gave the location of the "official" records concerning The Declaration of Interdependence: Book 2, 1937, The Book of the States.

When this was first dug up and out, people had to go to the State Capitol Library and look for themselves through microfiche to find it ---- and as anyone who has ever dug through microfiche can tell you, that's a nasty job.

So you will all be prepared to laud another American by the name of Emily who went out and found that The Book of the States is now available online:

http://knowledgecenter.csg.org/kc/category/content-type/bos-archive

No need to pile in your car, roll down the windows, and drive however many miles, fight for parking, march up the stairs, and spend hours in front of a blurry photo projector the size of a refrigerator anymore.

Thanks to Emily and thanks to The Knowledge Center, thanks to the Reverend, and thanks most of all to Joyce D. and her late husband who preserved these records for a future generation--- ours. Without them, it's doubtful that these records would have come to light.

I have often told everyone that we have been helped and supported and educated and inspired and assisted at every turn by other Americans who have come forward and brought their puzzle pieces to the table, enabling the rest of us to reconstruct the history and the facts. If it were not for all these researchers past and present who cared about their country and their countrymen, we would not have the comprehensive view that we have of The Great Fraud and the mechanisms that have been used to implement it.

Indeed, we don't stand alone and we don't take the credit. Though many of the researchers are gone, and many more are afraid to have their names out in public---- still the fact of it is, that we couldn't do what we do without the help and insight and skills of thousands of Americans who have asked the questions, done the research, and preserved the evidence for over a hundred and fifty years.

God bless and keep every single one of them.

Fauci and the NIH caught funding China’s covid bioweapons research

 https://www.naturalnews.com/2021-05-10-fauci-and-the-nih-caught-funding-chinas-covid-bioweapons-research.html

(Natural News) In today’s Situation Update podcast, we cover the bombshell news that communist China’s militarized bioweapons industry was funded by the NIH under the control of Dr. Fauci. They deliberately funded bioweapons development “gain-of-function” research in China, which led to the deliberate release of the SARS-CoV-2 bioweapon that’s now being used to push weaponized depopulation vaccines around the world.

The entire scheme was planned years ago, and its goal was both the global decimation of human populations and to serve as a cover story for the planned economic reset / debt implosion scenario that’s already beginning to unfold.

This was all covered by The Weekend Australian, which reviewed a 265-page document from the Chinese government that claimed a bioweapon attack, “could cause the enemy’s medical system to collapse.”

That same document revealed that biological weapons developed in China could be, “artificially manipulated into an emerging human ­disease virus, then weaponized and unleashed in a way never seen before.”

From The Weekend Australian:

Ten of the authors are scientists and weapons experts affiliated with the Air Force Medical ­University in Xi’an, ranked “very high-risk” for its level of defence research, including its work on medical and psychological sciences, according to the Australian Strategic Policy Institute’s ­Defence Universities Tracker.

The study also examines the optimum conditions under which to release a bioweapon. “Bioweapon attacks are best conducted during dawn, dusk, night or cloudy weather because intense sunlight can damage the pathogens,” it states. “Biological agents should be released during dry weather. Rain or snow can cause the aerosol particles to precipitate.

“A stable wind direction is ­desirable so that the aerosol can float into the target area.”

Among the most bizarre claims by the military scientists is their theory that SARS-CoV-1, the virus that caused the SARS epidemic of 2003, was a man-made bioweapon, deliberately unleashed on China by “terrorists”.

It now seems obvious that Fauci, the NIH and the Obama administration knowingly conspired with communist China to build the bioweapon that was unleashed upon the world in 2019. This means Dr. Fauci is a war criminal (but we knew that already).

The cyber collapse of America’s infrastructure

Also covered in today’s Situation Update: The cyber hacking and take down of the Colonial pipeline that supplies gasoline to about a quarter of U.S. states, including those along the Eastern seaboard. After hackers stole data from the central computers that control the pipeline, they forced the entire pipeline into a shut down which has now entered its third day.

This means remote hackers are able to shut down critical infrastructure in the United States. And if pipelines are vulnerable to hacking, what about power plants? Nuclear facilities? Military installations? The truth is that China has already created a “kill list” of cyber warfare targets and can take down most of the U.S. infrastructure at a moment’s notice, because almost no one has good security. And most of the computers that control critical systems across America are, foolishly, connected to the internet.

Listen to my full podcast to hear the truth about China’s bioweapons program, America’s cyber warfare vulnerabilities, covid “scariant” fear mongering, healthy young people getting blood clots from covid vaccines and much more.

The Electoral Rights of State Citizens

 By Anna Von Reitz

State Citizens get to make the decisions about international affairs for their States of the Union because State Citizens have accepted the responsibility of staffing and running the State Government and they have no other allegiances or attachments to any other government.

In practical terms, State Citizens get to exercise all electoral rights, because they take on all the responsibilities.

They agree to act as Jurors for the State Courts. They fill the State Offices. They serve in the State Militia if they are of an appropriate age and have the physical health to do so. They attend their State Assembly meetings and ponder the questions of the day. They hold a "singular allegiance" to the welfare of their State and its living people, that serves as a "check" to corporate greed and Federal overreach.

And in exchange for all the work they put in and all the responsibility they take on, State Citizens get to determine issues of international importance for their States of the Union.

With rights go responsibilities and with responsibilities go rights.

As we are now contemplating important international questions via Roll Call Votes of our State Assemblies, many people who took the easier road and chose to act as American State Nationals for no other reason than escaping the extra work and responsibility carried by the State Citizens - are upset to be told, that no, they can't cast a ballot on these important measures.

Please reflect that American State National is the same political status as a child before they reach the age of majority. While there is no shame in adopting this political status, it isn't responsible for much of anything, beyond keeping the peace, and as a result, the only "voting rights" that attach to it, are those of a strictly local in-county and in-State nature.

Those who cannot or will not accept the hard work and duty of keeping The State Assembly alive and working and holding up its end, don't get a voice in international issues facing the State.

Federal Employees don't get a voice, either, because they are in potential conflict of interest. Even the Coordinators, who work for the Federation of States must stand silent, because they do not have a "singular allegiance" at this time.

When Push comes to Shove, it's the State Citizens that stand tall, and so, as they accept the responsibility, they also exercise the right to determine the future of their State within the greater context of international affairs.

They have earned that right by their willingness to serve their State, and only their State.

I hope this makes it clear what you gain and what you lose when you check the box as "State National" versus checking the box as a "State Citizen".

Those who are of age, able-bodied, not restricted by health or family obligations, should all deeply consider accepting the State Citizen status. It's an eternal rule of our government that those who take on the responsibilities also inherit the rights.

Another Point to Ponder for the Native Chiefs

 By Anna Von Reitz

Not only are the Tribes not in receipt of valid Treaties with the actual American Government, because all the Treaties were either with Foreign Governments or with foreign Subcontractors acting to establish "trade treaties" and "bank treaties" and "cession treaties" which are not the same as actual Treaties ----- how would you go about establishing a Treaty with the American Government, when you are by definition already part of the American Government?

All the living people living in any of the physically defined States is a "sovereign in their own right" simply by virtue of being born on the soil of this country ---- so each one of you is already sovereign.

So is every other American.

Okay, nothing to fight over or negotiate about that.

As a living man or woman living on the land and soil of this country the government of the State is vested in you as much as anyone else. All equal. All having the same rights and choices.

So, what's there to argue about with that, either? You are already part and parcel of the State Assembly by definition, so, how are you going to make a Treaty with yourselves?

You already have the right to own your own land and live according to your own ways and have your own culture, language, religion, courts, and identity as a nation of people living here with the rest of us.

None of your complaints or injuries have been done to you by our American Government --- it's all been done by the U.S. Territorial Government. 100%. And the same can be said for all the rest of us. We've been beaten bloody, taxed, harassed, and "regulated" to death, too.

Except for being forced to live on a reservation, we have suffered just like you--- and with the FEMA Camps they had planned, it looks like that was coming, too.

They didn't seize our kids and put them in "residential schools", but they herded them all into "public schools" and indoctrinated them and lied to them just the same. They still come in with "CPS" and steal our kids when they have no right to even speak to us, their Employers, about our health or the way we choose to live.

We --- Americans ---- have all been abused by the same Bad Actors, suffered the same things just to different degrees and from different angles. It was all to "subjugate" us, when we are all sovereigns in our own right, and to plunder and pillage our land by foreign powers ---- foreign Principals who do in fact have International Treaties they need to honor with the actual American Government.

Our Government---yours and mine and Joe Public's from Cleveland, Ohio and Marty Martinez from Santa Rio, New Mexico, and LuAnne Fussbuddy's from Providence, Rhode Island, and Fred Meiner's from Fredericksburg, Texas, and Sheila Laughingwell's from Two Forks Nebraska, and Elliot Hopkin's from New York, and Clyde "Rover" Ohlsen from Duluth, Minnesota, and....and....and....

We are all Americans --- all part of our States and families, our Counties, and if we are Native, our Tribes, and if we are Scottish, our Clans.... all part of the Great Big Family that lives in this country.

We do have International Treaties that need to be enforced, but they are Treaties we all hold as Americans --- as the people of our States. Those are the Powerhouse Knock-Out-Punch Treaties that need to be brought forward and clamped down on the other Principals, and that is what we are already doing, as the people of this country.

You can't form a Treaty with yourselves, but you can enforce treaties you are owed as Americans and put a stop to the pillaging and mistreatment and poverty and coercion that so many of us have suffered at the hands of people employed by foreign governments acting in Breach of Trust.

Understanding What Went On -- Guide to Nomenclature and Status

 By Anna Von Reitz

The United States = Soil Jurisdiction States = Union of States

The United States of America = Land Jurisdiction = States of the Union

The sovereign member States of The United States and The United States of America are all physically defined.

They operate under the simple names: Wisconsin, Florida, California, etc., written in Upper and Lower Case.

____________________________________

But, now, lookee here.......there are other things operating under very similar names:

"the" United States (1787 to 1860) = American Federal Republic = an instrumentality of the Confederation of States, and neither have been operating since 1860. This Federal Republic was a business run as "the" States of America.

The States of America was an "instrumentality" of "the" Confederation, which was formed under The Articles of Confederation in 1781---five years after the Union and the Federation. The members of this States of America organization were all "states of states" operating under names like: The State of Vermont, The State of New York.....

These are the "Confederate States" ---both North and South-- that fought the Civil War. These are all business entities and do not have physical attributes. They are not sovereign as a result.

"the" United States (after 1790 and until today) Incorporated = Municipal United States Government = Federal Civil Service = STATE OF NEW YORK, STATE OF ALABAMA, etc. These are all businesses without physical attributes, and so, they are not sovereign either. This is the government operated by the Pope. It was originally a Subcontractor of the States of America organization described above. It's also known as US, INC. and US CORP. It has been operated as a Municipal District Corporation since 1877.

"the" United States of America (1789 to present) = Territorial Government = U.S. Military. This is the version of "United States" that gave the Native Tribes so much misery, and it has always been run by the British Monarchs. After 1865, it usurped upon the American States-of-States and substituted its own business entities for them. Suddenly, The State of New York (American) was replaced by "the" State of New York (British), and so on, all over the country. These are all businesses, too. No sovereign states. This part of the government has been operating as a Municipal Corporation of the District of Columbia since 1866.

My point to you --- none of these entities that appear below the line above are sovereign entities. They are all just business entities and "instrumentalities" and subcontractors of the actual American Government, which is vested in the physically-defined member States of the Union and the living people and Lawful Persons that populate those States.

None of these business entities are sovereign. It doesn't matter if we are talking about the Pope's STATES or the Queen's States of States, or the American Confederation States of States operating as The States of States. Okay? It's all just paper "states" --- not the actual States.

Please Note:

Even the unincorporated Federation of States doing business as The United States of America is not sovereign --- it's member States are sovereign. The Federation is a Holding Company that exercises the "Powers" of the States in the foreign international and global jurisdictions.

Hope that explains things. If not, ask more questions.

Instruction on the Fifth Sunday After Easter

 Rev. Fr. Leonard Goffine's

The Church's Year

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

INTROIT Declare the voice of joy, and let it be heard, alleluia.: declare it even to the ends of the earth: the Lord hath delivered his people. (Isai. XLVII. 20.) Allel. allel. Shout with joy to God, all the earth: sing ye a psalm to his name, give glory to his praise. (Fs. LXV.) Glory be to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

COLLECT O God, from whom all good things proceed: grant to Thy suppliants, that by Thy inspiration we may think those things that are right, and by Thy guidance may perform the same. Through our Lord Jesus Christ Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee, in the Unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end, Amen.

EPISTLE (James I. 22‑27.) Dearly Beloved, Be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if a man be a hearer of the word and not a doer, he shall be compared to a man beholding his own countenance in a glass: for he beheld himself and went his way, and presently forgot what manner of man he was. But he that hath looked into the perfect law of liberty, and hath continued therein, not becoming a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. And if any man think himself to be religious, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his own heart, this man's religion is vain. Religion clean and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to visit the fatherless, and widows in their tribulation, and to keep one's self unspotted from the world.

EXPLANATION True piety, as St. James here says, consists not only in knowing and recognizing the word of God, but in living according to its precepts and teachings; in subduing the tongue, the most dangerous and injurious of all our members; in being charitable to the poor and destitute, and in contemning the world, its false principles, foolish customs and scandalous example, against which we should guard, that we may not become infected and polluted by them. Test thyself, whether thy life be of this kind.

ASPIRATION O Jesus! Director of the soul! Give me the grace of true piety as defined by St. James.

GOSPEL (John XVI. 23-30.) At this time, Jesus saith to his disciples: Amen, amen, I say to you, if you ask the Father, anything in my name, he will give it you. Hitherto, you have not asked anything in my name. Ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be full. These things I have spoken to you in proverbs. The hour cometh when I will no more speak to you in proverbs, but will show you plainly of the Father. In that day, you shall ask in my name: and I say not to you that I will ask the Father for you, for the Father himself loveth you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God. I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again I leave the world, and go to the Father. His disciples say to him: Behold, now thou speakest plainly, and speakest no proverb. Now we know that thou knowest all things, and thou needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou comest forth from God.

Why does God wish us to ask of Him?

That we may know and confess that all good comes from Him; that we may acknowledge our poverty and weakness which in all things need the help of God; that we may thus glorify Him and render ourselves less unworthy of the gifts which He has promised us.

What is meant by asking to the name of Jesus?

By this is meant praying with confidence in the merits of Jesus, "who," as St. Cyril says, "being God with the Father, gives us all good, and as mediator carries our petitions to His Father." The Church, therefore concludes all her prayers with the words: "Through our Lord, Jesus Christ." It means also that we should ask that which is in accordance with the will of Christ, namely, all things necessary for the salvation of our soul; to pray for temporal things merely in order to live happily in this world, is not pleasing to Christ and avails us nothing. "He who prays for what hinders salvation," says St. Augustine, "does not pray in the name of Jesus." Thus Jesus said to His disciples: Hitherto you have asked nothing in my name, "because," as St. Gregory says, "they did not ask for that which conduces to eternal salvation."

Why is it that God sometimes does not grant our petitions?

Because we often pray for things that are injurious, and like a good father, God denies them to us, in order to give us something better; because He wishes to prove our patience and perseverance in prayer; because we generally do not pray as we ought; to be pleasing to God, prayer should be made when in a state of grace and with confidence in Christ's merits, for the prayer of a just man availeth much; (James V. 16.) we must pray with humility and submission to the will of God, with attention, fervor, sincerity, and with perseverance.

At what special times should we pray?

We should pray every morning and evening, before and after meals, in time of temptation, when commencing any important undertaking, and particularly in the hour of death. God is mindful of us every moment, and gives us His grace. It is, therefore, but just that we think often of Him during the day, and thank Him for His blessings.

How can we, in accordance with Christ's teachings, (Luke XVIII. 1.) pray at all times?

By making the good intention when commencing our work, to do all for the love of God, and according to His most holy will; by raising our hearts to God at different times during the day; frequently making acts of faith, hope, love, and humility, and by repeating short ejaculations, such as: O Jesus! grant me grace to love Thee! Thee only do I desire to love! O be merciful to me! Lord hasten to help me.

What is the signification of the different ceremonies that Catholics use at their prayers?

The general signification is that God must be served, honored and adored, not only with the soul but with the body; when we pray aloud we praise God, not only with the mind, but also with our lips; when we pray with bowed and uncovered head, with folded, uplifted, or outstretched hands, on bended knees, with bowed and prostrated body, we show our reverence and subjection to the majesty of God, before whom we, who are but dust and ashes, cannot humble ourselves enough. These different ceremonies during prayer are frequently mentioned in both the Old and the New Testaments, and Christ and His apostles have made use of them, as for instance, the bending of the knees, falling on the face, &c.

Which is the best of all prayers?

The Lord's Prayer which Christ Himself taught us, and commands us to repeat. When said with devotion, it is the most powerful of all prayers. (Matt. VI, 9-13; Luke XI. 2‑4.)

SHORT EXPLANATION OF THE LORD'S PRAYER

Of what does the Lord's Prayer consist?

It consists of an address, as an introduction to the prayer, and of seven petitions which contain all that we should ask for the honor of God, and for our own salvation. The address is thus: Our Father who art in heaven:

What does the word “Our" signify?

In the communion of saints we should pray for and with all the children of God; we should be humble and preserve brotherly love towards all men.

Who is it that is here called our “Father"?

Our Father is God who has made us His children and heirs of His kingdom through His Son.

Why do we say "Who art in heaven", since God is everywhere?

To remind us that our true home is heaven, for which we, should ardently long, because our Father is there, and there He has prepared our inheritance.

For what do we ask to the first petition: "Hallowed be Thy name?"

That we and all men may truly know, love, and serve God.

For what do we pray to the second petition: "Thy kingdom come?"

That the Church of God; the kingdom of Christ, may extend over the whole earth, and the kingdom of sin and the devil be destroyed; that Christ may reign in our hearts and in the hearts of all; and that God will deign to receive us into the kingdom of heaven when our earthly pilgrimage is ended.

For what do we ask to the third petition: "Thy will be done on earth as it is to heaven ?"

We beg that God would enable us, by His grace, to do His will in all things, as the blessed do it in heaven. In these three petitions we seek, as taught by Christ, first the kingdom of God, that all the rest may be added unto us. (Luke XII. 31.)

For what do we ask in the fourth petition: "Give us this day our dally bread?"

We beg for all necessaries for body and soul

Why does it say, "this day?"

The words "this day" signify that we should not be over anxious for the future, but place all our confidence in God who will provide the necessaries of life.

What do we ask for in the fifth petition: "Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us?"

We beg that God will forgive us our sins, as we forgive others their offenses against us. Those who make this petition, and still bear enmity towards their neighbor, lie in the face of God, and will not receive forgiveness. (Mark XI. 25, 26.)

What is risked for in the sixth petition: Lead us not into temptation?"

We ask God to avert all temptations or at least not to abandon us when we are tempted. We cannot, indeed be entirely free from them in this world, they are even necessary and useful for our salvation: for without temptation there is no combat, without combat no victory and without victory no crown.

What do we ask for in the seventh petition: Deliver us from evil?"

We beg that God would free us from all evil of soul and body.

INSTRUCTION CONCERNING THE PROCESSIONS ON ROGATION DAYS

What are processions?

Processions are solemn religious assemblages of persons marching together, and are instituted by the Catholic Church partly to encourage the piety of the faithful, partly in remembrance of graces received, and in thanksgiving for them. Processions are approved of by the Fathers of the Church from the earliest ages. Those who take part in them in a true spirit will reap wholesome fruit of Christian piety.

Are processions something new?

No, they were the custom in the very earliest centuries of the Church, as testified by the acts of the martyrs, of Saints Cyprian, Lucius, Boniface, and the Fathers of the Church, Saints Basil, Chrysostom, Ambrose, Gregory, and others. They are also founded on Scripture. Thus King David caused the ark of the covenant to be carried in solemn procession to Jerusalem, (II Kings VI.) and Solomon, his son, had it carried in solemn procession into the new temple. (III Kings VIII. 1-6.)

What do processions signify?

Processions are a figure of our pilgrimage on earth; we are strangers and wanderers here below, our journey reaches from this valley of tears to the heavenly Sion, the procession therefore returns into the house of God; our journey leads over the thorny ways of life, the procession therefore takes place in the open air, where the pilgrim is exposed to all kinds of weather; they are a powerful incentive to fervor in prayer for the faithful; when hundreds, even thousands of faithful praise God aloud, or cry to Him for help and mercy, must not even the coldest heart be roused to vivid, fervent devotion, since Christ has promised to be present even where two or three are assembled in His name? Processions are an open acknowledgment that praise, thanks and adoration are due to God alone, while they are a public profession of our faith in Christ, the Crucified; they are a solemn thanksgiving for being permitted to profess Christ, our Lord, before the whole world, as also for all the graces obtained through Him; they are a public testimonial of our faith in the one, holy, Catholic Church, whose members are united by the same bond of faith, and who form under their head, Christ, one family in God. Finally, they are a sign of the triumph of Christian faith over the darkness of heathenism. If processions are solemnized with such intentions, with order and dignity, with fervent devotion, in the light of faith, they are indeed a pleasing sight for angels and men

Why are banners and the cross carried in procession?

The cross signifies that we are assembled as Christians, in the name of Jesus, in whose name we begin and end our prayers, through whose merits we expect all things from the Heavenly Father, and whom we must follow: on our journey to heaven; the red and white banners indicate that we must walk in all innocence under the banner of Christ, and fight unto death against sin, against the world and the devil, and be as ready as were the martyrs to give our life for our faith; the blue banners indicate that we must walk the road of self-denial and mortification, with really humble and penitent feelings for our sins. The banners are also emblematic of Christ's victory over death and hell, and of the triumph of His religion over the pagans and Jews.

Why do we go around the fields in processions?

To beg God to bless the fields with His fatherly hand, to give and preserve the fruits of the earth, and. as He fills the animals with blessings, and gives them food at the proper time, so may He give to as also our necessary food.

What is the origin of the procession on St. Mark's day and on Rogation Days?

The procession on St. Mark's day was instituted even before the time of Pope Gregory the Great (607) who, however, brought it into fervent practice, "in order," as he says, 'to obtain, in a measurer forgiveness of our sins." The same pontiff introduced another, called the Sevenfold Procession, because the faithful of Rome took part in it in seven divisions, from seven different Churches, meeting in the Church of the Blessed Virgin. It was also named the Pest Procession, because it was ordered by St. Gregory to obtain the cessation of a fearful pestilence which was at that time raging in Rome, and throughout all Italy. This pestilence so poisoned the atmosphere that one opening his mouth to sneeze or gape would suddenly fall dead; (hence the custom of saying God bless you," to one sneezing, and of making the sign of the cross on the mouth of one who gapes). The same holy pope ordered the picture of the Blessed Virgin, which is said to have been painted by St. Luke, to be carried in this procession, and that the intercession of this powerful mother be asked. God heard these supplications and the pestilence ceased. It is said that the processions in Rogation Week owe their origin to St. Mamertus, Bishop of Vienne in France; in the neighborhood of which city there were, in the year 469, terrible earthquakes which caused great destruction, the fruits perished and various plagues afflicted the people. The saintly bishop assembled the faithful, recommended them to seek refuge in the merciful God, and led them in procession around the fields. Such processions spread over France, and gradually throughout the Christian world; they are held in order to obtain from God the averting of universal evils, such as war, famine, and pestilence, and are, at the same time, a preparation for the Ascension of Christ who is our most powerful mediator with His Father, and whom we should invoke especially during these days.

With what intentions should we take part in a procession?

With the intention of glorifying God, of thanking Him for all. His graces, and of obtaining aid and comfort from Him in all our corporal and spiritual needs; with the view of professing our faith openly before the whole world, and with the sincere resolution of always following Christ, the Crucified, in the path of penance and mortification. He who entertains other intentions and takes part, perhaps, for temporal advantages, or for sinful pleasures, or to avoid labor, &c., sins against God and the Church who weeps over and condemns such abuses.

How Our Assemblies Operate

 By Anna Von Reitz

We have a steady stream of ex-military and corporation employees joining our ranks and like everyone else, they come dragging their past experiences and assumptions behind them.

We take this opportunity to point out some very significant differences between those "cultures" and the civilian world that our Assemblies present.

While both the military and the corporations operate on the principle that everyone involved is "expendable", the civilian government operates on exactly the opposite principle ---- people are NOT expendable. Everyone has value. Everyone has something to add.

The military and the corporations also tend to operate on a quid pro quo system that let's the ends justify the means. This is again diametrically opposed to the civilian government and its operating principles.

We know that how we get somewhere is at least as important as the destination, and we act accordingly. We do not employ lies to get what we want. We don't threaten people. We don't harbor grudges. We don't use force, deceit, or coercion of any kind, nor do we use bribes, pay offs, or "emoluments" to get what we want out of people.

The dignity of mankind is such that people need to do the right thing for the right reasons, and without that there is no basis to build or hope for a better future.

The military and the corporations both believe in expediency. To them, the quickest way to do something is always best. Patience, nurturing, and skill development are not part of their overall vocabulary -- for them, it's a slam-bam-thank you ma'am world.

Okay, so that's their world. Let them have it.

That is not what family-based Assemblies do. That is not in line with our value system at all. That kind of cut-throat competition, faster is better, Slick Kid attitude needs to be checked at the door and not allowed to intrude itself in an atmosphere that needs to be respectful, welcoming, and supportive.

And not dripping with hypocrisy from slime balls trying to be "nice".

All those who are coming in from military and corporatocracy backgrounds need to refocus and understand that this is a rescue operation and both those being rescued and those doing the rescuing are civilians.

Sure, there is a sense of urgency. Sure, there is a need to move things forward. Sure, there is a need for organizational coherence. The skills learned in the military and the corporate world can come in handy --- but not the vicious, self-serving, ladder-climbing, brown-nosing, competitive sleaze-bag behaviors that too often go along with the skills.

Military officers and NCOs and corporate managers are supremely task oriented, but seldom know the whole vision behind who or what chooses the tasks. As a senior VP for Microsoft admitted to me, "I had no idea where they were going with this thing...." in reference to the nanobot plague. That's because everything in both the military and in the corporate world suffers from "compartmentalization of information" --- commonly referred to as "operating on a need to know basis".

It is essential that our civilian government shares information freely and that our operations are, to the extent dictated by common sense, transparent and open. Everyone needs to know everything, so that --- for example --- Americans can never again be hoodwinked or dependent on the knowledge and skills of a few who are taught specific information.

Where would we be today if every school child in America had received an honest education and passed it on?

That's the only way that a government of, for, and by the people of this country can flourish. Everyone needs to know how the government is supposed to work, so that when it misfires, we all know what is wrong and we all move to fix it.

That would not be possible in the military and neither would it be possible in large corporations, precisely because the same specialization and compartmentalization that keeps them safe and makes them efficient serves to reduce everyone and everything to a system of cogs and wheels without the benefit of common knowledge.

There are other distinct differences, too --- and it is meant to be that way.

The civilian government is put in charge of the military and given ownership of the corporations precisely because both need to be guided by a sense of morality and vision that is naturally quite foreign to these organizations--- a sense of Public Good that only the Public can define.

For us to function and do our job as Assemblies, it is essential that we retain a sense of who we are and where we are coming from, and not be duped, misled, or simply habituated into acting as if our Assemblies were just another corporation.

Important Addendum About the 1937 Declaration of Interdependence

 By Anna Von Reitz

This is additional information you all need to know and share widely with those who are receiving copies of The Declaration of Interdependence of the Governments in The United States.

The official confirmation that this actually happened and was presented and adopted and is not, as some have claimed, spurious --- take note of the official provenance.

In your State Capitol Library on Microfiche, you will find "The Book of the States".

The first "book" in this series was published in 1935, and additional books have been published every two years ever since --- sometimes one volume, sometimes two volumes.

In the 1937 volume --- that is Book Two in "The Book of the States" series, you will find that Senator Toll was the one who presented The Declaration of Interdependence of the Governments in The United States for signing.

This same Book of the States is a deep mine full of evidence and tidbits and insights into exactly what has gone on behind the scenes in this country since 1935--- which in addition sheds more light on what happened in 1933 and 1934 under the auspices of the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Administration.

Every American needs to become aware of the dangerous and self-interested nature of the foreign commercial corporations and Corporatist Interests which have been looting this country ever since.

It is painfully clear that in addition to foreign governments acting in Gross Breach of Trust and in violation of their Commercial Service Contracts, there have been traitorous Americans involved ---- including many of those that we popularly recognize as Captains of Industry in the Nineteenth Century.

Names like Rockefeller, Hearst, Gould, Carnegie, Vanderbilt, Winchester, Westinghouse, Bell, Reynolds, Astor, Freeman, Collins, Russell, Dupont, Dunn, Kennedy, Ford, Harriman, St.Claire, Huntington, Remington, Stanford, Crocker, Hopkins, Edison, Bundy, Brookfield, Franklin, Monroe, Wright, Goldberg, Hunt, Hughes, and many more prominent American families in one way or another, became entangled in the international web, either willingly or under coercive pressure of the banks.

Many of these men --- and women --- felt that government of, for, and by the people was an unworkable monstrosity standing in the way of their profit-making agendas.

As the people of this country pushed back and sought to curb the insatiable power grabbing of the corporations that these same people were subsidizing and providing with bankruptcy protection, the Industrialists hatched plans to undermine our government with the help and cooperation of British and other European Interests --- Rhodes, Darwin, Pirbright, Nobel, Warburg, Farben, Kunst, Clark, Kenworth, Churchill, Downing, Van Nuys, Rothschild, and so on.

It's all documented and it was all orchestrated and enabled by the U.S. Supreme Court via a series of famous cases collectively known as the Insular Tariff Cases, which allowed the semantic deceits and misrepresentations and revenue generating ploys that played such an important part in the subsequent history of the 1920's and 30's. As Chief Justice Harlan noted in his dissenting opinions, the end result of these decisions did lead to "mischief".

The majority of these cases were brought in tandem with new Congressional actions aimed at censoring, limiting, and reining in burgeoning corporate power and the increasingly sleazy relationship of military contractors using lobbyists to disproportionately influence the remaining Congressional delegations.

There is a clear cause and effect between the Elkins Act in 1903, the Hepburn Act of 1906, and the Mann-Elkins Act of 1910 and what happened on Jekyll Island in 1913.

Both the Industrialists and certain factions within the U.S. Military felt threatened and they responded by undermining the American Silver Dollar and both the gold and silver standards; by doing this, they could eventually erode the world commodity standards and gain a free avenue to "capture" and control the supply and prices of commodities worldwide --- without the pesky bother of anti-monopoly, anti-trust, and anti-commodity rigging laws.

At the end of the day, absolutely all this misery has been caused by 19th Century Industrialists and bankers plotting to "corner the market" on all commodities, and most especially, the money commodities.

The results are written on the walls of our subway stations and whispered in the halls of Congress. Anyone participating in any political party or any political party system is part of the problem. Anyone blindly praising the complicit military is also part of the problem.

123 million lives have been lost and countless others maimed, truncated, and ruined because of these petty men senselessly chasing profit for themselves and cherishing ranks above honor.

It's time for this "system" constructed as a maze around humanity to end, and truly end---- not simply be commandeered and co-opted again.

As the song goes, "meet the New Boss, same as the Old Boss" --- and that must not be allowed to happen again. For the sake of all humanity, we cannot allow ourselves to be fooled again.\
