Authorization to Act --- Joint Chiefs of Staff
By Anna Von Reitz
Notice to Principals is Notice to Agents; Notice to Agents is Notice to Principals
Authorization to Act -- Joint Chiefs of Staff
As we have often noted, this country is being used as a battleground for a perpetual Mercenary War based on False Legal Presumptions.
Those Presumptions have included the idea that our American Government is missing, in interregnum, absent, and that therefore, there is a custodial interest for the British Territorial United States Government and the Municipal United States Government, and more recently, the United Nations Organization.
Please note that our unincorporated Federation of States doing business as The United States of America is the government of this country in international and at the present time, global jurisdiction, as well.
Over the past five years, eligible Electors have been painstakingly identified and documented, and our Fifty State Assemblies have been called into Session.
These General Assemblies are able to function as Committees of the Whole and to take valid Roll Call Votes of eligible State Electors who are State Citizens, to resolve issues of international and global import.
Our Federation of States and our State Assemblies are the only entities with the standing to operate as the lawful American Government. All other efforts to reorganize have included District citizenry and fail to observe the legal and lawful requirements.
Three international votes have been taken.
The first vote was answered by those State Assemblies that were organized prior to the Civil War and resulted in the formal enrollment of all former Territorial States as States of the Union as of 1 October 2020. This formally ended any emergency-based custodial interest by any foreign government in those States.
The second vote established the first new Public Law in over a century, which forbids among other things, commercial claims against people who have received patented scraps of DNA or RNA, which, without disclosure, serve to provide an excuse to label these people "transhumans" and claim them as property owned by the patent-holders.
It is now formally and officially illegal to inject people with foreign DNA or RNA in this country, effective 1 January 2020, and the United States Provost Marshals, United States Marshals and Interpol and the American Armed Forces including the United States Army and Air Force are authorized to intercept, arrest, try, and incarcerate all corporations and corporation officials engaged in promoting injection campaigns and undisclosed unilateral contracting processes against unwary Americans.
The Third Vote which has been completed with 49 States in Agreement and 1 State Abstaining for lack of Quorum, has established a Peace Treaty formally ending the American Civil War which commenced in 1861 and which has continued as a perpetual emergency until 1 August 2021, when our States have issued a joint Peace Treaty formally ending the hostilities.
These actions on the part of the properly identified and organized American People are direct Presentations, not representations, to the other Principals and all incorporated instrumentalities exercising any of our delegated powers whatsoever.
Whereupon, the United States Provost Marshals, United States Marshals, Interpol, and appropriate units of the American Armed Forces, are requested and required to enforce the International and Public Law of this country and immediately act upon the International Arrest Warrants already issued and published, and to proceed with the apprehension of all corporation officials responsible for promotion of the Trans-Human Agenda.
These are commercial and international crimes against Humanity, amounting to genocide on paper, as these legal mechanisms seek to re-label and redefine living people as property assets belonging to corporations, deprive the victims of their established rights, and their property interests.
Those who have participated in this scheme include all the drug companies that have benefited themselves, all the research corporations that have similarly benefited, all the Governors who have continued to issue mandates and other proclamations in support of this scheme, all media companies that have allowed themselves to spread and enforce propaganda for profit and supported censorship in this country, and those other parties who upon further investigation have been involved in the deliberate and knowing and self-interested promotion of this agenda.
Please note that our American Government has been at peace since 1814 and this entire country is now at peacetime status. The peacetime flag should be flown at half-mast until 0800 on 12 September 2021 in remembrance of all those who have suffered and lost their lives for nothing but filthy lucre.
So said, so signed, and so sealed this 9th day of August 2021 in Big Lake, Alaska:
Anna Maria Riezinger, Fiduciary

One Page History of America from Colonies to Now for General Milley
By Anna Von Reitz
Colonial America was dominated by two huge investment companies --- the Catholic Maryland Company and the Protestant Virginia Company. During The War of Independence, the Maryland Company remained officially neutral. The Virginia Company split into two factions, one American and one European-dominated.
The American faction doing business as The United States of America fought the British faction doing business as the United States of America.
During the war, The United States of America represented the Federation of Thirteen States and acted for five years as the Holding Company for their mutually delegated powers in the international and global jurisdictions. Still in the middle of the war, The United States of America federation formed a Confederation of States by delegating some of its powers to conduct business to a new entity, the States of America..
By 1781, we had two American business entities, The United States of America, a Federation of States, and the States of America, a Confederation of States of States, in operation.
At the end of the war, the peace process held the investment companies harmless.
The three Federal Constitutions adopted in 1787, 1789, and 1790, which divvy up juicy government contracts and spheres of influence represent the implementation of four Treaty Series --- The Treaties of Versailles (land), The Treaties of Paris (admiralty), The Treaties of Westminster (air), and the Treaties of Ghent (maritime).
The American Confederation doing business as the States of America was given the contract to administer the American Federal Republic under The Constitution for the united States of America (1787). The British offshoot of the Virginia Company, the United States of America, was given the contract to provide military and Territorial Government functions under The Constitution of the United States of America (1789). The Papist Maryland Company was given the contract to provide certain international and global services, including the Post Office functions under The Constitution of the United States (1790).
Under this arrangement, the American Federal Republic, was responsible for most of the functions of the Federal Government. The Brits ran our Navy on the High Seas and Inland Waterways and provided administration of our Territories and Possessions. The Papists provided postal and other civil services.
In 1860, the Brits ran Abraham Lincoln, an attorney who was prohibited from holding any public office in our Federal Republic, as the President of the United States of America --- that is, the President of the Territorial Government, but not President of The United States of America federation and not President of the Federal Republic run by the States of America confederation.
The state-of-state members of the Confederation split into two camps and fought each other, with Lincoln in control of the Northern members and the Territorial Government, and Jefferson Davis in control of the South and his Papist allies. After this Civil War, the Confederation was never reconstructed and the Federal Republic abandoned, giving rise to the perpetual state of emergency we live with today. A full one-third of our intended Government has been dormant ever since.
The British Territorial Government slipped in what appeared to be an American Military Protectorate under Lincoln’s Lieber Code, substituted Territorial State-of-State organizations for the American Confederation, and has sat here quietly leeching off us and occupying our country ever since.
They have been occupying us using our own Armed Forces since 1865, bleeding us dry and misdirecting our policies, engaging in war-mongering for profit, and causing everyone no end of trouble for 160 years.
It’s time for it to stop, for our military to recognize what has gone on here, and for the rest of the world including our traditional Allies to protest this continued armed occupation of America by these foreign incorporated instrumentalities, both of which are ultimately owned by the Pope.

PATRIOT STREETGIGHTER WITH CHRISTOPER JAMES EXCLUSIVE UPDATE
Instruction on the Eleventh Sunday After Pentecost
Rev. Fr. Leonard Goffine's
The Church's YearAt the Introit pray with the priest for brotherly love and for protection against our enemies within and without:
INTROIT God in his holy place; God, who maketh men of one mind to dwell in a house: he shall give power and strength to his people. Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered; and let them that hate him flee from before His face. (Ps. LXVII.) 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 Almighty, everlasting God, who, in the abundance of Thy loving kindness, dost exceed both the merits and desires of Thy suppliants; pour down upon us Thy mercy, that thou mayest forgive those things of which our conscience is afraid, and grant us those things which our prayer ventures not to ask. 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 (i Cor. XV. 1-10.) Brethren, I make known unto you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you have received, and wherein you stand: by which also you are saved: if you hold fast after what manner I preached unto you, unless you have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all, which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures: and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: and that he was seen by Cephas, and after that by the eleven. Then was he seen by more than five hundred brethren at once, of whom many remain until this present, and some are fallen asleep. After that he was seen by James, then by all the apostles. And last of all, he was seen also by me, as by one born out of due time. For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the Church of God; but by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace in me hath not been void.
INSTRUCTION I. St. Paul warns the Corinthians against those who denied the Resurrection of Christ and exhorts them to persevere in the faith which they have received, and to live in accordance with the same. Learn from this to persevere firmly in the one, only saving Catholic faith, which is the same that Paul preached.
II. In this epistle to the Corinthians St. Paul gives us a beautiful example of humility. Because of the sins he had committed before his conversion, he calls himself one born out of due time, the least of the apostles, and not worthy of being called an apostle, although he had labored much in the service of Christ. He ascribes it to God's grace that he was what he was. Thus speaks the truly humble man: he sees in himself nothing but weakness, sin, and evil, and therefore despises himself and is therefore willing to be despised by others. The good which he professes or practices, he ascribes to God, to whom he refers all the honor. Endeavor, too, O Christian soul, to attain such humility. You have far more reason to do so than had St. Paul, because of the sins which you have committed since your baptism, the graces which you have abused, and the inactive, useless life you have led.
ASPIRATION Banish from me, O most loving Saviour, the spirit of pride, and grant me the necessary grace of humility. Let me realize that of myself I can do nothing, and that all my power to effect any good, comes from Thee alone who alone workest in us to will and to accomplish.
GOSPEL (Mark vii. 3I-37.) At that time, Jesus going out of the coast of Tyre, came by Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coast of Decapolis. And they bring to him one deaf and dumb, and they besought him that he would lay his hand upon him. And taking him from the multitude apart, he put his fingers into his ears, and spitting, he touched his tongue: and looking up to heaven, he groaned, and said to him, Ephpheta, which is, Be thou opened: and immediately his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke right. And he charged them that they should tell no man; but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal did they publish it, and so much the more did they wonder, saying: He hath done all things well: he hath made both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
Whom may we understand by the deaf and dumb man?
Those who desire neither to hear nor to speak of things concerning salvation.
Why did Christ take the deaf and dumb man aside?
To teach us that he who wishes to live piously and be comforted, must avoid the noisy world and dangerous society, and love solitude, for there God speaks to the heart. (Osee ii. i4.)
Why did Christ forbid them to mention this miracle?
That we might learn to fly from the praise of vain and fickle men.
What do we learn from those who brought the deaf and dumb man to Jesus, and notwithstanding the prohibition, made known the miracle?
That in want and sickness we should kindly assist our neighbor, and not neglect to announce and praise the works of God, for God works His miracles that His goodness and omnipotence may be known and honored.
SUPPLICATION O Lord Jesus, who during Thy life on earth, didst cure the sick and the infirm, open my ears that they may listen to Thy will, and loosen my tongue that I may honor and announce Thy works. Take away from me, O most bountiful Jesus, the desire for human praise, that I may not be led to reveal my good works, and thus lose the reward of my Heavenly Father. (Matt. vi. I.) .
What are ceremonies?
Religious ceremonies are certain forms and usages, prescribed for divine service, for the increase of devotion, and the edification of our fellow-men; they represent externally and visibly the interior feelings of man.
Why do we make use of ceremonies in our service?
That we may serve God not only inwardly with the soul, but outwardly with the body by external devotion; that we may keep our attention fixed, increase our devotion, and edify others; that by these external things we may be raised to the contemplation of divine, inward things. (Trid. .Sess. 22.)
Are ceremonies founded on Scripture?
They are; for besides those which Christ used, as related in this day's gospel, in regard to the deaf and dumb man, He has also made use of other and different ceremonies: as, when He blessed bread and fishes; (Matt. xv. 36.) when He spread clay upon the eyes of a blind man; (John ix. 6.) when He prayed on bended knees; (Luke xxii. q.i.) when He fell upon His face to pray; (Matt. xxvi, 39.) when He breathed upon His disciples, imparting to them the Holy Ghost; (John xx. 22.) and finally, when He blessed them with uplifted hands before ascending into heaven. (Luke xxiv. 30.) Likewise in the Old Law various ceremonies were prescribed for the Jews, of which indeed in the New Law the greater number have been abolished; others, however, have been retained, and new ones added. If, therefore, the enemies of the Church contend that ceremonies are superfluous, since Christ Himself reproached the Jews for their ceremonial observances, and said: God must be adored in spirit and in truth, we may, without mentioning that Christ Himself made use of certain ceremonies, answer, that He did not find fault with their use, but only with the intention of the Jews. They observed every ceremony most scrupulously, without at the same time entertaining pious sentiments in the heart, and whilst they dared not under any circumstances omit even the least ceremony, they scrupled not to oppress and defraud their neighbor. Therefore Christ says: God must be adored in spirit and in truth, that is, in the innermost heart, and not in external appearances only. -Do not, therefore, let the objections, nor the scoffs and sneers of the enemies of our Church confound you, but seek to know the spirit and meaning of each ceremony, and impress them on your heart, and then make use of them to inflame your piety, to glorify God, and to edify your neighbor.
INSTRUCTION CONCERNING THE ABUSE OF THE TONGUE
There is no member of the body more dangerous and pernicious than the tongue. The tongue, says the Apostle St. James, is indeed a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold how small a fire kindleth a great wood. And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is placed among our members, which defileth the whole body, and inflameth the wheel of our nativity, being set on fire by hell. (James iii. 5. 6.) The tongue no man can tame: an unquiet evil, full of deadly poison. By it we bless God and the Father; and by it we curse men, who are made after the likeness of God. Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. (ibid. iii. 8-10.) There is no country, no city, scarcely a house, in which evil tongues do not cause quarrel and strife, discord and enmity, jealousy and slander, seduction and debauchery. An impious tongue reviles God and His saints, corrupts the divine word, causes heresy and schism, makes one intemperate, unchaste, envious, and malevolent; in a word, it is according to the apostle a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue of the serpent seduced our first parents, and brought misery and death into the world. (Gen. iii.) The tongue of Judas betrayed Jesus. (Matt. xxvi. 49.) And what is the chief cause of war among princes, revolts among nations, if it is not the tongue of ambitious, restless men, who seek their fortune in war and revolution? How many, in fine, have plunged themselves into the greatest misery by means of their unguarded tongue? How can we secure ourselves against this dangerous, domestic enemy? Only by being slow to speak according to the advice of St. James, (i. 19.) to speak very few, sensible, and well-considered words. In this way we will not offend, but will become perfect. (James iii. 2.:) As this cannot happen without a special grace of God, we must according to the advice of St. Augustine beg divine assistance, in the following or similar words:
ASPIRATION O Lord, set a watch before my mouth, and a door round about my lips, that I may not fall and my tongue destroy me. (Ps. cxl. 3.)

The medical cabal and false government want to lock you down again.
The coming Delta lockdown is DESIGNED to invoke nationwide protests so they can be exploited as a backdrop for false flag event to blame “anti-vaxxers”
https://www.brighteon.com/cba45892-be02-474a-beea-a26e767f2797
Within the next 12 days, multiple sources have told us, the pretender-in-chief Joe Biden will announce a nationwide lockdown, fraudulently blaming the “delta” variant and “anti-vaxxers” for the overzealous action. The lockdown will have no specific end date, and it is likely to be strongly resisted by red states, while blue states will effectively be turned into medical police states with brutal enforcement of the lockdown measures.
Most importantly, the new lockdown will be perceived as so overreaching and totalitarian that nationwide protests will soon commence.
This is actually all part of the plan. The lockdown push is being engineered to invoke a backlash, even among Leftists who will join conservatives in taking to the streets to protest the medical tyranny.
This backdrop of nationwide protests is the setting needed by the deep state to stage a violent false flag event that I’m told will most likely target a medical facility or medical group of some kind. The FBI will of course be running this just like they ran the Whitmer “kidnapping” in Michigan as well as the Jan. 6th “capitol siege” false flag operation. Nearly every act of terrorism in America over the last two decades has been plotted and spearheaded by the corrupt FBI, and there’s little question they are planning a new theatrical caper to place blame on so-called “anti-vaxxers.”

Right to Correct Mistakes
By Anna Von Reitz
We all have the absolute right to correct mistakes, so long as we recognize that we made a mistake. This is a case in point.
I have just been informed that various State Assemblies have "signed on" to "State Charters" ---- one thing that a valid State Assembly can never do.
I am admittedly frustrated that this has happened in view of the many times that I have explicitly told everyone that our State Assemblies are unincorporated, therefore, not chartered in any way, shape or form.
Let me reiterate for (it seems) the thousandth time:
State Maryland
State State Maryland State
The State of State The State of Maryland
the State of State the State of Maryland
the STATE OF STATE the STATE OF MARYLAND
Maryland, in the example above, is a State. It is free, sovereign, independent and never incorporated. The Maryland Assembly populates this State of the Union.
Now look at the next entity, which has been the cause of the present confusion--- the entity called "Maryland State". Notice that this construction is odd and it sounds like there is something missing ---- Maryland State WHAT? This is the Maryland State Trust that was formed by the Territorial United States Government after the Civil War, to contain all the assets of the State while the State Government was "absent" and "in interregnum".
This is how the British Government pretended to have a custodial interest and also has pretended that we are all "Wards of the State" and of the Queen.
Some of our Assemblies and Assemblymen have made the mistake of signing these State Charters and unwittingly subjecting themselves (again) as property belonging to the State, but being "administered" by the British Territorial Government.
In other words, they fell into the trap again.
Everyone who has signed any kind of "State Charter" needs to immediately rescind and repeal their action and explicitly say that they made a "mistake" and did not intend to submit themselves or their State of the Union as any property subject to administration by the Territorial United States.
Period.
This has to be done as quickly and expeditiously as possible and can be accomplished by the same voting process as created the problem in the first place.
This situation again points out the problem of following "gurus" who know certain pieces of the puzzle, but not all of it, and further necessity of making sure that our Federation legal experts have a chance to review all such actions BEFORE they are taken.
Even very smart people who have studied these issues for years make mistakes that can be horribly costly if they are left uncorrected.
This is why I responded so violently to the idea of State Assemblies "chartering" themselves and the reason that all of you need to study ---hard---- so that you are not confused and unwittingly consigning yourselves to British enslavement rackets.
I am thoroughly upset, but you all have the legal and lawful right to correct mistakes, especially mistakes made because of deceptively similar names being applied to numerous entities.
The impacted State Assemblies need to get busy and correct any action taken to approve any "state charter" or signing onto any pre-existing "state charter".

Instruction on the Tenth Sunday After Pentecost
Rev. Fr. Leonard Goffine's At the Introit of the Mass pray with the Church for God's help to guard us against our enemies: INTROIT When I cried to the Lord, he heard my voice, from them that draw near to me, and he humbled them, who is before all ages, and remains forever. Cast thy care upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee. (Ps. LIV.) Hear, O God, my prayer, and despise not my supplication; be attentive to me, and hear me. 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, who dost manifest Thine almighty. power above all in showing pardon and pity: multiply upon us Thy mercy, that we running forward to the attainment of Thy promises, may be made partakers of Thy heavenly treasures. 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 (I Cor. XII. 2-11 .) Brethren, You know that when you were heathens; you went to dumb idols according as, you were led. Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man, speaking by the Spirit of God, saith. Anathema to Jesus. And no man can say: the Lord Jesus, but by the Holy Ghost. Now there are diversities of graces, but the same Spirit; and there are diversities of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but the same God, who worketh all in all. And the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man unto profit. To one, indeed, by the Spirit, is given the word of wisdom: and to another, the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit: to another, faith in one Spirit: to another, the working of miracles: to another, prophecy: to another, the discerning, of spirits: to another, divers kinds of tongues: to another, of speeches. But all these things one and the same Spirit worketh, dividing to every one according as he will. EXPLANATION The apostle here reminds the Corinthians of the great grace they received from God in their conversion, and urges them to be grateful for it; for while heathens, they cursed Jesus, but being now brought to the knowledge of the Spirit of God, they possess Christ as their Lord and Redeemer who can be known and professed only by the enlightenment of the Holy , Ghost. The holy Spirit works in different ways, conferring His graces on whom He wills; to one He gives wisdom to understand the great truths of Christianity; to another the gift of healing the sick; to another the gift of miracles and of prophecy; to another the gift of discerning spirits, to know if one is governed by the Spirit of God, or of the world, Satan and the flesh; to another the gift of tongues. The extraordinary gifts, namely, those of working miracles, and of prophesying &c. became rarer as the faith spread, whereas the gifts which sanctify man will always remain the same., [See Instruction on the gifts of the Holy Ghosts Pentecost.]
To teach us never proudly to condemn or despise a man, even though he should appear impious, for we may be deceived like the Pharisee who despised the Publican, whom he considered a great sinner, while, in reality, the man was justified before God on account of his repentant spirit. What should we do before entering a Church? We should reflect that we are going into the house of God, should therefore think what we are about to say to Him, and what we wish to ask of Him. That we may make ourselves less unworthy to be heard, we should humble ourselves as did Abraham, (Gen. XVIII. 27.) remembering that we are dust and ashes, and on account of our sins unworthy to appear before the eyes of God, much less to address Him , for He listens to the prayers of the humble only, (Ps. CI, 18.) and gives them His grace, while He resists the proud. (James IV. 6.) Was the Pharisee's prayer acceptable to God? No, for it was no prayer, but boasting and ostentation; he praised himself, and enumerated his apparent good works. But in despising others and judging them rashly he sinned grievously instead of meriting God's grace. Was the Publican's prayer acceptable to God? Yes, for though short, it was humble and contrite. He stood afar off, as if to acknowledge himself unworthy of the presence of God and intercourse with men. He stood with downcast eyes, thus showing that he considered himself because of his sins unworthy to look towards heaven, even confessed himself a sinner, and struck his breast to punish, as St. Augustine says, the sins which he had committed in his heart: This is why we strike our breast at certain times during Mass, for by this we acknowledge ourselves miserable sinners, and that we are sorry for our sins. ON PRIDE AND VAIN GLORY He who glories in his own good works, or performs them to please men, or to win their praise, loses his merit in the eyes of the most High, for Christ says: Take heed that you do not your justice before men, to be seen by them: otherwise you shall not have a reward of your Father who is in heaven. (Matt. VI. 1.) In order that we may learn to despise vain glory, these doctrines should be well borne in mind. We should consider that it will happen to those who seek after vain glory, as to the man who, made many toilsome journeys on land and sea in order to accumulate wealth, and had no sooner acquired it than he was shipwrecked, and lost all. Thus the ambitious man avariciously seeking glory and honor will find, when dying, that the merit which he might have had for his good works, is now lost to him, because he did not labor for the honor of God. To prevent such an evil, strive at the commencement of every good work which you undertake, to turn your heart to God by a good intention. But that you may plainly recognize this vice, which generally keeps itself concealed, and that you may avoid it, know that pride is an inordinate love of ostentation, and an immoderate desire to surpass others in honor and praise. The proud man goes beyond himself, so to speak, makes far more of himself than he really is, and, like the Pharisee, despises others; the humble man, on the contrary, has a low estimate of himself, looks upon himself as nothing and, like the Publican, despises no one but himself, and thus is pleasing in the sight of God. ASPIRATION O God, who hearest the prayers of the humble, but dost resist the proud, I earnestly beseech Thee to give me an humble heart, that I may imitate, the humility of Thy only begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, and thereby merit to be exalted with Him in heaven. INSTRUCTION ON GRACE In the epistle of this day the Apostle St. Paul speaks of the different gifts of the Holy Ghost which He distributes as He pleases. These extraordinary graces which the apostle mentions, are not necessary for salvation. But the Church teaches, that the grace of the Holy Ghost is What, then, is grace? Grace is an inward, supernatural gift which God through infinite goodness, and in consideration of Christ's merits, grants us to enable us to work out our salvation. Grace is a gift, that is, a present, a favor, a benefit. It is an inward and supernatural gift; an inward gift, Because it is bestowed upon man's soul to distinguish it tom external gifts and benefits of God, such as: food, clothing, health; grace is a supernatural gift, because it is above nature. In creating our souls God gives us a certain degree of light which enables us to think, reflect, judge, to acquire more or less knowledge: this is called natural light. In the same way He gives our souls the power in some measure to overcome sensual, vicious inclinations; this power is called natural power (virtue). To this natural light and power must be added a higher light and a higher power, if man would be sanctified and saved. This higher light and higher power is grace. It is, therefore, called a supernatural gift, because it surpasses the natural power of man, and produces in his understanding and in his will wholesome effects, which he could not produce without it. For example, divine faith, divine love is a supernatural gift or grace of God, because man of his own power could never receive as certain God's revelations and His incomprehensible mysteries with so great a joy and so firm a conviction, and could never love God above all things and for His own sake, unless God assisted him by His grace. God grants us grace also through pure benevolence without our assistance, without our having any right to it; He grants it without cost, and to whom He pleases; but He gives it in consideration of the infinite merits of Christ Jesus, in consideration of Christ's death on the cross, and of the infinite price of our redemption. Finally, grace is a gift of God, by which to work out our salvation, ,that is, it is only by the grace of God that we can perform meritorious works which aid us in reaching heaven. Without grace it is impossible for us to perform any good action, even to have a good thought by which to gain heaven. From this it follows that with the grace of God we can accomplish all things necessary for our salvation, fulfil all the commandments of God, but without it we can do nothing meritorious. God gives His grace to all, and if the wicked perish, it is because they do not cooperate with its divine promptings.
Into two kinds, actual and sanctifying grace. Actual grace is God's assistance which we always need to accomplish a good work, to avoid sin which we are in danger of committing, or that grace which urges us on to good, and assists us in accomplishing it; for it is God, says the Apostle Paul, (Phil. II. 13.) who worketh in you both to will and to accomplish. If a good work is to be performed by us, God must enlighten our mind that we may properly know the good and distinguish it from evil; He must rouse our will and urge it on to do the known good and to avoid the evil; He must also uphold our will and increase our strength that what we wish to do, we may really accomplish. This actual grace is, therefore, necessary for the just, that they may always remain in sanctifying grace, and accomplish good works; it is necessary for the sinner that he may reach the state of sanctifying grace. What is sanctifying grace? It is the great benefit which God bestows upon us, when He sanctifies and justifies us; in other words: sanctifying grace is the love of God, given to us by the Holy Ghost, which love dwells in us and whose temple we become, or it is the advent and abiding of God in our hearts, as promised in the words of Jesus: If any one love me he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and will make our abode with him. (John XVI. 23.) He who possesses sanctifying grace, possesses the greatest treasure that a man can have on earth. For what can be more precious than to be beautiful in the sight of God, acceptable to Him, and united with Him! He who possesses this grace, carries within himself the supernatural image of God, he is a child of God, and has a right to the inheritance of heaven. How is this sanctifying grace lost? It is lost by every mortal sin, and can only be regained by a complete return to God, by true repentance and amendment. The loss of sanctifying grace is a far greater injury than the loss of all earthly possessions. How, terrible, then, is mortal sin which deprives us of this treasure! |

Dr Reiner Fuellmich: Bombshell - Overwhelming Evidence That The Pandemic Is A Crime With All Backup
https://www.brighteon.com/f9bd7246-2f79-4ece-b6ca-d4bb505ae4b6
Powerful interview with trial lawyer Dr Reiner Fuellmich, who says they have the evidence to sue governments, health organizations, and the WHO.
On his feast day, Ignatius of Loyola writings and history from a Catholic perspective.
From the Desk of Paul Stramer
As I have said many times, this website is here for the express purpose of finding solutions for the big mess we are in here in America, and articles are published from several authors that also have freedom in America as their focus. The authors that I publish here have their own opinions, and you and I can choose to agree or disagree, and what we write in the comments is regarded by the administration of this blog (me) as their own opinion. I do invite everyone to comment as they see fit, but follow a few simple rules.
As I have said in the introduction at the top of the blog "You will find some conflicting views from some of these authors. You will also find that all the authors are deeply concerned about the future of America. What they write is their own opinion, just as what I write is my own. If you have an opinion on a particular article, please comment by clicking the title of the article and scrolling to the box at the bottom on that page. Please keep the discussion about the issues, and keep it civil. The administrator reserves the right to remove unwarranted personal attacks. Use the golden rule; "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
I have from time to time removed some comments from the comments section, that were vicious personal attacks against an author, rather than an intelligent discussion of the issues, but very rarely. Foul language, and invective accomplish nothing but the creation of anger, and have no place here. We are here to arrive at the truth about what has been done to our country, and true history, not as we see it, but as our Creator sees it.
It is sometimes said that in America we have the "right to our opinion". I would say rather that we have the responsibility to see to it that our opinion is right, the way God sees it. With that I shall begin with my opinion and some history about Saint Ignatius of Loyola.
I am compelled by my lifelong Catholic Faith and background to set the record straight about what Ignatius of Loyola taught. I shall use his own words, and the 1917 Catholic Encyclopedia to do so.
I note that many if not most of the people who criticize the "Jesuits" refuse to read anything he actually wrote, and won't read anything the Catholic Church has said about the order or the man going back almost 500 years.
The words that follow are my opinion, but not just my opinion. They are irrefutable history going back centuries. My sources are well documented and links will follow each section.
I will start by saying that while people who oppose the Catholic Faith will tolerate most of the orders in the Church like the Franciscans, and others, they mostly have an undying hatred of the Society of Jesus founded by St.Ignatius of Loyola.
I will also say that we are talking here about a Church that is over 2000 years old, and an order that was not approved until September 27th, 1540, by the Papal Bull of Pope Paul III titled "Regimini militantis ecclesia". For a history of the Society of Jesus from the Catholic encyclopedia go here:
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14081a.htm Remember that when you see a link that has cathen in it, it's from the 1917 edition of the Catholic Encyclopedia.
Ignatius of Loyola was born in 1491 at the castle of Loyola above Azpeitia in Guipuscoa; died at Rome, 31 July, 1556. I will not dwell on the early part of his life except to say that he became a soldier and was grievously wounded in the battle of Pampeluna in 1521 and was completely changed by what followed.
For a complete story of his life from the Catholic Encyclopedia :
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07639c.htm
The Jesuit Legend This is from the Catholic Encyclopedia
"It is curious that at the present day, even literary men have next to no interest in the objective facts concerning the Society, not even in those supposed to be to its disadvantage. All attention is fixed to the Jesuit legend; encyclopedia articles and general histories hardly concern themselves with anything else. The legend, though it reached its present form in the middle of the nineteenth century, began at a much earlier period. The early persecutions of the Society (which counted some 100 martyrs in Europe during its first century) were backed up by fiery, loud, unscrupulous writers such as Hassenmueller and Hospinian, who diligently collected and defended all the charges against the Jesuits. The rude, criminous ideas which these writers set forth received subtler traits of deceitfulness and double-dealing through Zahorowski's "Monita Secreta Societatis Jesu" (Cracow, 1614), a satire misrepresenting the rule of the order, which is freely believed to be genuine by credulous adversaries (see Monita Secreta). The current version of the legend is late French, evolved during the long revolutionary ferment which preceded the Third Empire. It began with the denunciations of Montlosier (1824-27), and grew strong (1833-45) in the University of Paris, which affected to consider itself as the representative of the Gallican Sorbonne, of Port-Royal, and of the Encyclopédie. The occasion for literary hostilities was offered by attempts at University reform which, so Liberals affected to believe, were instigated by Jesuits. Hereupon the "Provinciales" were given a place in the University curriculum, and Villemain, Theirs, Cousin. Michelet, Quinlet, Libri, Mignet, and other respectable scholars succeeded by their writings and denunciations in giving to anti-Jesuitism a sort of literary vogue, not always with scrupulous observance of accuracy or fairness. More harmful still to the order were the plays, the songs, the popular novels against them. Of these the most celebrated was Eugène Sue's "Juif errant" (Wandering Jew) (1844), which soon became the most popular anti-Jesuit book ever printed, and has done more than anything else to give final form to the Jesuit legend.
The special character of this fable is that it has hardly anything to do with the order at all, its traits being simply copied from masonry. The previous Jesuit bogey was at least one which haunted churches and colleges, and worked through the confessional and the pulpit. But this creation of modern fiction has lost all connection with reality. He (or even she) is a person, not necessarily a priest, under the command of a black pope who lives in an imaginary world of back stairs, closets, and dark passages. He is busy with plotting and scheming, mesmerizing the weak and corrupting the honest, occupations diversified by secret crimes or melodramatic attempts at crimes of every sort. The ideal we see is taken over bodily from the real, or the supposed method of the life of the Continental mason. Yet this is the sort of nonsense about which special correspondents send telegrams to the papers, about which revolutionary agitators and crafty politicians make long inflammatory speeches, which standard works of reference discuss quite gravely, which none of our popular writers dares to expose as an imposture (see Brou, op cit. infra, II, 199-247)."
Some Objections:
The answers to many of the accusations against the Society of Jesus are contained in another article, again from the Catholic Encyclopedia of 1917 here:
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14103a.htm
And now for the actual writing of the man himself. What was he about? What was his real mission? How did he accomplish that mission. Was it with a sword? NO! It was with ideas.
The Romans learned over 20 centuries ago that you can't fight an idea with swords. They tried that and failed. They tried to wipe Christianity from the face of the earth and utterly and completely failed.
YOU CAN ONLY FIGHT AN IDEA WITH ANOTHER IDEA!
An explanation and history of his writings: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14224b.htm
So from the words of Saint Ignatius of Loyola here are his ideas.

If you have spent a lifetime in a Protestant religion I don't expect you will even read many of these links.
Most protestants are taught from a young age to hate "the jesuits". I don't have to answer for that, thank God. But I am obligated to tell the truth, and make known the history you have probably never had a chance to see, hence this article, which is my fulfillment of my duty to God and His Church.
Now a word about that Church. God is not divided against Himself. He is the One, True God in three divine persons, Father (Creator), Son (Redeemer) and Holy Ghost (Sanctifier). Three divine persons in ONE God.
There is NO other God in the Universe. All besides Him are false and impostors. I hope we can agree on that much at least.
It follows then, that God would not and did not make more than one true religion on this earth.
It is our job, our duty, to find that one true Faith, and get in it, and stay in it till we take our last breath.
By doing so we fulfill our ultimate purpose, the reason we have been given life, which is to know, love, and serve Him in this life that we may be happy with him for all eternity seeing Him as He really is forever.
Of course God demands that we live by those principles, not just profess them. That is the challenge.
We were created for nothing less than eternal and complete happiness with our creator, for all time without end.
DON'T LOOK FOR THAT RELIGION IN ROME! Rome has LOST the Faith. The prophecy of La Salette has been fulfilled. Rome has lost the faith and has become the seat of AntiChrist, but the world does not know this yet. It will as time goes on. Use a search engine to look that up. Type in prophecy of La Salette.
Don't take that to mean that I believe God's Church is gone, or corrupt. It's still very much alive and well, but is much smaller than most people believe. But that is for another article when the time is right.
I know this might leave you with many questions. Good. That is partly what it is meant to do.
Our Lord has made us some promises that have solutions in them. He told us how to pray. He showed us how to live. How well have we imitated those instructions and His example? I think not very well, and that is what Saint Ignatius was focused on when he started the Society of Jesus. He realized way back then, over 468 years ago, that we were in trouble and falling away from true Faith. HE LAID DOWN HIS SWORD, and took up the cross, and set a personal example to help us to salvation. He has been lied about, and demonized, and slandered by the enemies of your soul, until that evil legend is almost an institution, but still, those detractors have NOT succeeded in removing his example, and spiritual exercises.
Don't take my word for any of this, but now that you know, how will you answer to God, if you continue to ignore " the rest of the story" as Paul Harvey would say?
God bless anyone that reads this and takes it seriously.
COME, Holy Ghost, into the hearts of Thy faithful, and kindle in them the fire of Thy love.
V. Send forth Thy Spirit, and they shall be created;
R. And Thou shalt renew the face of the earth.
Let Us Pray
O God, Who didst instruct the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant that by the gift of the same Spirit we may be always truly wise, and ever rejoice in His consolation. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Paul Stramer
