Why ‘Ventilator Frenzy’ Swept the White House During Early Days of COVID

 Why ‘Ventilator Frenzy’ Swept the White House During Early Days of COVID • Children's Health Defense (childrenshealthdefense.org)

Protect Yourselves and Others

 Are you at Peace? Do you fly the Peace Flag?

By Anna Von Reitz,

 
These supporters of the Trucker Convoy are flying the American Peacetime flag, and by doing so, they are identifying themselves as peaceable Americans --- people who are NOT at war, NOT soldiers, NOT here to blow anyone up, shoot anybody, etc., etc., etc. --- and that is important.
If every American War Flag in this convoy was converted to a Peacetime Flag, there would be nothing at all that any of the Rats could do to attack or complain or harass anyone involved. They would all have to stand down and watch the parade.
Flying the right flag can save your life or the lives of people you care about. Flying the right flag can protect your property and your Natural and Unalienable rights and Constitutional Guarantees.

Remember that America --- the actual America and the actual American Government --- has been at peace since 1814, and all the "peaceable" Americans are owed the full support, protection, and respect of their government employees without exception.
So stand up for who you are and what you are doing and use the proper flag to make your silent declaration of your standing and peaceful intentions. All over this country, more Americans are waking up and catching on. They are flying the Peacetime Flag. Isn't it about time you did, too?
 
Check out http://www.uscivilflags.org/articles-history.html for the honorable and venerable history of our Peacetime Flag --- and stop a moment to think: do you want war or do you want peace? It's up to you to declare.

Bail In, Bail Out, Good Cop, Bad Cop

 By Anna Von Reitz

First, the Gubmint steals your credit to bail out banks and insurance corporations. 

Second, the banks and insurance companies steal your bank deposits to pay back the Gubmint. 

Third, it all comes down to crooks bilking you in your own name.  Crooks who are pretending to “represent” you.

Crooks who are impersonating you. 

Brace for losing every cent you have deposited in commercial banks and in “equitable” consideration, you will be given shares in the bankrupt bank that stole your deposits. 

How’s that for compensation? 

You will get more shares based on the size of the deposits you lose.  And this has been advertised since 2010.

Did you know you were buying shares in a bankrupt bank? 

Did you know your deposits became bank property the moment you walked away with a receipt in your hand? 

Did you know you were loaning the bank your home when they offered you a home loan? 

All those IRS garnishments were the obligations of the bank? Not yours? 

And what about all the investments made in your name?  What became of them? 

Your “shares” again? 

Naught into naught is naught.  Naught divided by naught is naught. 

Every positive number is greater than every negative number. 

Every debt creates an equal credit. 

Fraud vitiates everything. 

Don’t take any wooden nickels and I would not accept any bank shares, either, because the shareholders become responsible for the debts  of the bank. 

Ever heard of the Trojan Horse?  Gifts that kill are all too common to this day.

Let’s Review Before the Test….

 By Anna Von Reitz

First Lesson: this country has been “occupied” by its own military since 1863.  

That military is largely commandeered and misdirected by one of our Federal Subcontractors— a British Territorial Corporation doing business as the United States of America, Incorporated.

It is to their economic advantage to promote constant war and constant reinvestment in military tech development and military expansionism. 

Constant war means job security and investment opportunities for military personnel. Constant war and war preparation means more money for “Defense” Contractors.  

And since the military has been running things through their “civilian service corporation”, they have had a free hand to vote for lots, and lots, and lots of “defense spending” that has allowed these players to establish over 900 military bases worldwide. 

Second Lesson: Not only has America been suffering occupation by its own military, since World War II, they have occupied most of Europe, Japan, and the former Commonwealth nations, too. 

So as you are witnessing Europe slitting their own throats by sanctioning Russia over a trumped up war in Ukraine that NATO provoked by establishing over a dozen biological warfare factories in Ukraine— bear in mind, Europe does not have much of a choice. 

They are deeply in debt to “the” U.S. and occupied by “the” U.S. and everyone makes the mistake of calling “the” U.S. by our name, “America”—— so we get blamed for what the Brits are manipulating “our” military to do.

And it isn’t hard for the Brits to twist our military any way they like, because a British Municipal Corporation, SERCO, is acting as their Paymaster. 

Third Lesson: the Federal Reserve Note is an I.O.U.   It is also a military scrip.  

Military scrips are like Monopoly Money, issued on bases and within encampments to function as a “domestic currency” within the domain of the military by military personnel. 

Because they never had any authority to issue an actual American currency, the U.S. Military occupation force issued “Federal Reserve Notes” as a currency to be used as scrip within the occupied territories. 

Notice the word “territories”. 

When they conquered Europe in WWII their Federal Reserve Notes became the “Reserve Currency” of Europe, Japan, and the former Commonwealth countries.  All those national currencies had to be “exchanged” into Federal Reserve Notes in order to trade with the U.S. Military. 

So, seventy-plus years on, we are treated to the spectacle of two competing monetary systems based on I.O.U.s. — the FRN’s and the EURO.  However, everyone knows that both these currencies are military scrips and that in a pinch, the EURO will be sacrificed.

And that is exactly what we are observing. 

That’s exactly what the Brits were/are trying to avoid with Brexit—- retreat into their own national currency, the British Pound Sterling, so as to dump the endangered EURO before the Piper demands to be paid. 

Lesson Four:  As a military scrip issued by a worldwide military organization, the FRN is blood money based on human energy, creativity, labor, and physical bodies. 

Review my book, Blood Money, for a more extensive explanation of how currencies based on labor differ from money based on physical assets. 

The primary functional difference is elasticity. 

Money based on physical commodities is relatively fixed because the amount of any commodity is finite.  

Currency based on human labor, brain power, performance ability, and other tangible and intangible “merits” is potentially infinite. 

Countries with small populations have an advantage when we use actual physical asset-backed money.

Countries with large populations benefit from the use of blood money currencies. 

This means that Britain is benefited from money based on gold and silver, while China—for example, is benefited from a currency based on human labor and creativity. 

America, with a large but not gigantic population, can swing either way.  Russia can also swing either way. 

This sets up a situation where the large population countries are seeking to maximize the value of their labor force at the same time that countries with the Natural Resources and stores of gold and silver are at odds. 

It’s a chicken and egg stand-off.  Is the material to build more important than the ability to build, when both are needed to construct anything? 

Go figure. 

The Russians have weighed in with the large population countries and backed BRICS, while “the” U.S. has waffled. It doesn’t want to give up its cozy hegemony, but it doesn’t want to be isolated, either.  And Britain, as always, is playing the puppet master. 

Expect World War III and pray that someone with a brain comes to power in the USA, INC.

Anyone who thinks they can fight inflation by spending $700 billion more “on credit” does not qualify. 

Lesson Five: in order to survive this we have to use our brains and our voices and we have to back the restoration of our civilian government. 

Remember— the military does not have the authority to issue actual money.  Only the States of the Union have that right and duty. 

So it is imperative for everyone’s good that the actual American Government stands up and issues a new national asset-backed currency. 

And it’s imperative for the occupying military interests to support that and answer to the call of the civilian government that they are supposed to defend. 

Lesson Six: There are no National Debts and there are no substantial international trade deficits.  There are dishonest accounting practices that make it look like National Debts and Trade Deficits exist—- but they don’t, 

In a debt-credit monetary system, every debt is immediately met with an answering credit. 

If you don’t put the credit on the books and don’t balance the books, it looks like there is a debt—- but what the crooks are really doing is using the “off-ledger” credit as a giant Slush Fund for themselves and also as a mammoth Investment Fund — which feeds back into the Slush Fund. 

As a result of this and the fact that the people are being taxed both for the actual credit they already paid, and for the absence of that credit on the books (“interest on the debt”) everyone is suffering.  

The obvious cure is to be honest and do the bookkeeping.  A lot of people on the Biggest Gravy Train Ever don’t want to do this for obvious reasons, but even more people need it done and done now.

Lesson Seven: America is not a democracy. America is a Federation of sovereign republican states.  The British Territorial United States is a democracy. 

So all this war-making and theft and disinformation has not been promoted by America.  A lot of deluded and deceived Americans participated in it unknowingly and some criminals benefited themselves to an incredible extent, but the American People are not the ones doing this. 

The British Tories who substituted their Territorial Government for our lawful American States are the ones responsible for all of it. 

Three years ago, the call went out to assemble the States of the Union—- and thousands of Americans have answered that call.  

Today, the civilian government of this country is active and in General Assembly status in all fifty States. 

The military government provided “for” us on an “emergency” basis has been notified that their actual Employers are back in town. 

It remains to be seen whether or not the U.S. Military will heed the call, do the bookkeeping, and do the right thing—- or not. 

So far, they have acted as pawns in a British Commercial scheme to kill and/or claim millions of innocent people as property. 

That scheme, though causing horrible damage to this country and many others, has failed. 

Lesson Eight: Americans desperately need to come together with hearts and minds to end this situation. 

Any questions?

What’s Wrong and Right With America?

 By Anna Von Reitz

People are waking up in vast numbers, mainly because they have to. 

They are waking up scared, confused, and many times, angry.  Hibernating bears in spring come to mind.  Or teenagers having to wake up extra early for a Civics exam.  

But we need Civics and truthful American History in a big way, like it or not. 

I would guess, based on experience, that about 80% of Americans don’t know that America is not a “democracy” of any kind and never has been.

Even the so-called intelligentsia don’t know that basic factoid and endlessly prattle on about “our democracy” and “threats to democracy” and its plain to see that they actually think that America is a democracy when it’s not and never has been.  

Next time your relatives (the  ones who won’t invite you to Thanksgiving Dinner) need proof that they really are clueless — tell them that America isn’t a democracy.  The British Territorial United States — one of our Federal Subcontractors—- is a democracy, but we aren’t. 

For all intents and purposes our government in international jurisdiction is an unincorporated Federation of fifty sovereign states — and it’s not a democracy, either. 

Go figure. You’ve heard it all your life— “our democracy” and most of you thought we were talking about an American democracy.  

I will lay hard money that all the Media Talking Heads think this country is a democracy. 

I bet Nancy Pelosi thinks this is a democracy. 

And that is one of the big, dumb, ugly things about America right now.  

The Public Education system (that is supposed to be educating the Public— that  means you and me, Brothers and Sisters) is instead dumbing us down.   Most of us don’t remember who we are, how our government is organized, and what form of government we are supposed to have in charge. 

So let’s say it again, loudly: “We are guaranteed a republican form of government, which means community-based self-government—- and it has nothing to do with the Republican Party. “ 

We don’t even have political parties. 

We have political opinions, which is another story. 

Other signs of mental fog— stiffly fought grudge matches based on historical competition.  

Does Green Bay v Chicago make any sense when all the players from both teams come from anywhere but Green Bay and Chicago? 

It used to be, long ago, that the men of Green Bay would knock their knuckles on the green grass and go toe to toe against men who actually lived in Chicago. 

It really was Green Bay against Chicago. Literally.  And everybody knew it. Heck, the teams were owned and supported by the cities that provided the stadiums, or by the local fan club. 

We got to go tribal, wear our colors, don the cheese wedge helmet and cheer, cheer, cheer!  

But now it’s meaningless. It’s just random teams of men pulled from a worldwide talent pool.  Te Deum. 

The teams thus drafted are owned by billionaire corporatists who can tell the players to do anything they please—- so long as they pay them all millions of dollars. 

And that is also what’s wrong with America. 

People grow up thinking that money can buy anything and everyone.  They think everyone has a price and so, in such a world, the players are all whores. Well-paid, but whores nonetheless.  

And this is what we are teaching our kids to value?  To look up to?  To model after? 

Last year I didn’t watch the Super Bowl. I boycotted the Green Bay - Chicago game, too. I am from Wisconsin, but the team isn’t, even if they are required to live there part time for a few months every year. 

So football goes in my rag bag like television in general, with a big so what?  All they do is lie and talk about useless things and try to pretend that their opinions are “news stories”. Just like the football players pretend to come from Green Bay.  

I learned a new word from my cat fit for such occasions:  “Phffffth!!!” 

And why can’t Americans put their grocery carts away in the right racks?  They put the small carts in the big cart rack, and if possible, vice versa. 

What is this, people? 320 million people who are frustrated and want to take it out on other shoppers?  One last, desperate attempt to say, “Up yours!” —- or a cry for help? 

What good can come from a nation that fails the Shopping Cart Test? 

So there is a sample of what is wrong in America.  

Now you want to hear what’s good about America? 

Most of us know that there are some things that can’t be bought. 

Most of us can learn how to be part of a self-governing country. 

Most of us still care. 

Most of us know when we are being fed tripe—- if we stop and think about it. 

And most of us know how to work hard and persevere under difficult conditions. 

Very soon we can expect news of disaster and have multiple sensationalist news stories trying to distract us—- but what I expect to see beginning on September 20th 2022, will happen very quietly — the end of the Federal Reserve and/or it’s merger with the International Monetary Fund. 

The salad days of the free-wheeling con artists selling “free dollars at half the cost” will be over. The era of blood money and illegal taxation will be over—- but we all need to stay on our toes and stand ready to answer the next Sting they come up with.  

And the next. And the next. And the next….

What Catholics Believe - Catechism Series

 All lessons found here:  https://www.wcbohio.com/categories/catechism

Father Jenkins begins a catechism series using Fr. William J. Cogans' A Brief Catechism for Adults. This episode is an introduction and a review of Lesson 1, Religion. This program was recorded on 18 November 2015.

Fifteenth Sunday After Pentecost

 Rev. Fr. Leonard Goffine's

The Church's Year

The Introit of the Mass is a fervent prayer; which may be said in every necessity and adversity:

INTROIT Bow down thine ear, O Lord; to me, and hear me: save thy servant, O my God, that hopeth in thee: have mercy on me, O Lord, for I have cried to thee all the day. Give joy to the soul of thy servant: for to thee, O Lord, I have lifted up my soul. (Ps. IXXXV.) Glory etc.

COLLECT Let Thy continued pity, O Lord, cleanse and defend Thy Church: and because without Thee it cannot abide in safety, govern it ever by Thy gift. Thro'.

EPISTLE (Gal. V. 25, 26.; vi. I-Io.) Brethren, If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be made desirous of vain-glory, provoking one another, envying one another. Brethren, and if a man be overtaken in any fault, you, who are spiritual, instruct such a one in the spirit of meekness, considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. Bear ye one another's burdens, and so you shall fulfil the law of Christ. For if any man think himself to be something, whereas he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. But let every one prove his own work, and so he shall have glory in himself only, and not in another. For every one shall bear his own burden. And let him that is instructed in the word, communicate to him that instructeth him, in all good things. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for what things a man shall sow, those also shall he reap. For he that soweth in his flesh, of the flesh also shall reap corruption: but he that soweth in the spirit, of the spirit shall reap life everlasting. And in doing good, let us not fail: for in due time we shall reap, not failing. Therefore, whilst we have time, let us work good to all men, but especially to those who are of the household of the faith.

EXPLANATION This epistle is taken, like that of the Sunday before last, from the epistle of St. Paul to the Galatians, in which St. Paul shows them the insufficiency of the Jewish law, and that they can only be saved by a lively faith in Christ, but now he admonishes them to the performance of good works. You now live, he tells them, in the Spirit, that is, the Holy Ghost animates your heart by His grace, enlightens, confirms, and inflames you, admonishes and teaches you, impels your heart to do good; you must, therefore, also regulate your external conduct accordingly, and in particular devote yourself to the practice of humility and charity, as the foundations of a truly spiritual life. Humility must teach and move you to think little of yourself, to avoid vain glory, and not to confide in your own strength. But charity should impel you to be meek and compassionate to all, even sinners, to correct them charitably, and lead them back to the path of virtue; since he who is harsh to the erring, despises and treats them roughly, is often permitted by God to fall into the same, nay, even into greater sins.

Particularly you must show your charity one for another, that one bears the burdens of the other: that you bear the faults and imperfections of others just as patiently as you wish others to bear with your own imperfections; thus you will fulfil the law of Christ, which commands us to love our neighbor; you will prevent many sins which are occasioned by considering yourself perfect, raising yourself above others, criticizing their failings, and causing disturbance. True glory consists in knowing ourselves, our faults and evil inclinations, and in eradicating them. Be grateful to those who instruct you in the word of God, and give to them willingly of your earthly possessions. What you sow, you shall reap; if you only follow the dictates of the flesh, do not mortify yourself, do not correct your failings, and indulge your sinful appetites, you will one day reap death, destruction and damnation, whereas, on the contrary, if you follow the dictates of the Holy Ghost, you will reap of the Spirit of life.

Let us obey this doctrine, for it is of interest to us, and impress deeply on our heart that without mortification of body and soul we cannot be saved.

ASPIRATION. O. St. Paul! beg of God the grace for me, that I may always walk in humility, and the love of my neighbor, particularly in bearing with his imperfections and failings, and thus fulfil the law of Christ in this as in all things.

Tenth Sunday After PentecostGOSPEL (Luke VII. 11-16.) At that time, Jesus went into a city called Naim: and there went with him his disciples, and a great multitude. And when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold a dead man was carried out, the only, son of his mother, and she was a widow, and a great, multitude of the city was with her. Whom when the Lord had seen, being moved with mercy towards her, said to her: Weep not. And he came near, and touched the bier. And they that carried it stood still. And he said: Young man, I say to thee, Arise. And he that was dead sat up,. and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother. And there came a fear on them all; and they glorified God, saying: A great prophet is risen up amongst us, and God hath visited his people.

Why did Christ show compassion to this widow?

To convince us that God takes sorrowful and destitute widows under His protection; and is to them a consoler and helper; and to teach us to do the same. Woe, therefore, to those who oppress them and cause them to weep. The tears and cries of widows will ascend to God, who will terribly punish the injuries inflicted upon them. (Exod xxii. 22. 23.)

Christ had still other reasons for compassion, for He saw in this deceased youth the death of sinners, and in the afflicted mother the pain which the Church experiences at the spiritual loss of so many of her children. Should this not also awaken our sympathy since it wad the principal cause which moved our Saviour to compassion. If we are faithful children of our mother, the Church, it is impossible for us not to share her sorrow, and we would surely not be her children, if we could contemplate without sorrow the multitude who daily die the death of sin, and thus separated from the living body of Christ, hasten to eternal destruction. O let us with the Church unceasingly, ask Jesus, that He raise sinners from their spiritual death, enlighten those in error so that all recognize the truth, find, and walk the path Which leads to life !

Why did Christ say to the widow: Weep not?

He wished to moderate her excessive sorrow, and to teach us that we should not mourn for the loss of our relatives, like the heathens who have no hope of resurrection to eternal life. (Thess. iv. I a.) Resignation to the will of God, with prayer and good works, will be of more use to the dead than many tears.

What else do we learn from this gospel?

That no one, however young and healthy, will escape death, wherefore we should always be prepared to die.

INSTRUCTION CONCERNING DEATH

IF there were locked up in prison several hundred persons, on whom sentence of death had irrevocably been pronounced, yet who knew not the day or hour of their execution; if one after the other, and often he who least expected it, were taken out to be executed; would not each one's heart tremble, whenever the prison door opened? Now the irrevocable sentence of death is pronounced on us all; we are all locked up in our bodies, as in a prison; (Ps. cxiv. 8.) one after the other is called hence, yet we do not regard it. We live as though we could live forever; we think only of the body, but for the soul nothing is done, except that we load it with sins and vices.

Is this rational? The body will be food for worms, but the soul (without knowing when) will travel into the house of eternity, to which place she must bring treasures of good works, in order to live happy for ever. Who would, therefore, be so foolish as to care only for the body during life, and neglect the salvation of the soul?

O man, says St. Francis of Sales, (Phil. part. i. chap. 13.) represent to yourself in lively colors, that at your death the world will cease to exist with respect to you. In that last hour the pleasures, the vanities, the riches, the honors, the friendships, and all that was dear to you, will disappear before your eyes as so many shadows. O fool that I am! you will then say, for what trifles and fooleries have I lost all! On the contrary, piety, good works, penance, etc., will appear pleasant to you, and you will exclaim: O, why did I not travel on this blessed road? Then the sins which you now consider as mere trifles, will seem to you like mountains, and all that you thought you had accomplished as, great things, with regard to piety, will seem to you very little.

What terrible fear will then seize your soul, when she must travel alone into the bottomless abyss of eternity which, as St. Bernard says, devours all possible, imaginable ages, and of which St. Gregory says, that we can easier say what it is not than what it is. What terrors will befall her, when she must appear before the tribunal of that God whom she never really loved and honored in her life-time and before whom she must now give the strictest account, and hear an irrevocable and just sentence!

Should not these thoughts make an impression upon you? How can you escape this terrible future? By living now, as you would wish to have lived at the hour of death. Die daily with St. Paul by crucifying the flesh and its lusts and by voluntarily withdrawing your heart from the world, its pomps and vanities, before death will do this by violence.

RESOLUTION O world! because I cannot know the hour, in which I must leave you, I will not be attached to you. O you dear friends and relatives, you, too, I will in future love only with a holy inclination, directed to God, which will not cease with death, but remain forever. O Lord! help me, that I may die totally to myself and the world, and live only for Thee, and partake of eternal happiness.

INSTRUCTION ON THE CEREMONIES USED AT FUNERALS
Behold, a dead man was carried out, the only son of his mother, and a great multitude of the city was with her. (Luke vii. 12.)

OF these people who accompanied the funeral of the youth, we should learn to pay the last honors to the dead, and follow their bodies to the grave. This is a meritorious work, one pleasing to God, if it be not performed from vanity and self-interest, but for love of God and the deceased, with the charitable intention of assisting him by prayers. Therefore those do very wrong, who from worldly motives either omit this good work entirely, or during the funeral procession indulge in idle talk and deny the deceased even a short prayer.

Why is a cross carried before the corpse?

By this is indicated that the deceased during life professed Christ, died believing in Him, and hoping for resurrection through Him.

Why are lighted candles carried before the bier?

To represent the desire of the Church that the deceased through the grace of God may be received into eternal light. This custom is very ancient; wax-candles and torches, together with prayer and great solemnity were made use of at the burial of St. Cyprian who was beheaded for Christ's sake, in the year 258 after Christ. (Ruinart.)

Why are the coffin and the grave sprinkled with holy water?

In order, as St. Thomas of Aquin (Lib. iii. art. 21.) remarks, to implore God, on account of the prayers which the Church says when she blesses the water, that the souls of the faithful may be cleansed from all stains, and may receive consolation and refreshment in the tortures which they may still have to suffer.

Why are the body and the grave incensed?

By this the Church indicates that the deceased by his Christian vocation was a good odor of Christ, (ii Cor. ii. 14, 15.) and admonishes the faithful that their prayers should ascend like incense to heaven for the deceased.

Why are Psalms and other sacred canticles sung?

This is done to remind us of the teaching of St. Paul, (i Thess iv. 12.) not to be excessively sorrowful for the loss of the deceased, like the heathens who have no hope of eternal life. We also signify, thereby, that we congratulate the dead for the peace which they now enjoy. (Apoc. xiv. 13.) This custom, as St. Jerome shows, (Ep. 53.) is derived from the apostles, who interred St. Stephen, singing Psalms and hymns of praise.

Why are the bells rung?

To invite the faithful to the funeral and to pray for the dead who, during lifetime, was called very often by the same bells, prayed with and for us during religious worship, and who is not separated from us by death.

Why art the bodies of the faithful buried with the head towards the East, and those of the priests towards the West?

The faithful are buried towards the East, whence the sun rises, to indicate, that they are waiting for Christ who is called the Orient from on High, (Luke i. 78.) and whose voice they will hear at the end of the world, when He calls them to the resurrection; the priests towards the West, as a sign that on the day of judgment they will be placed opposite to the souls confided to them, to give an account of their charge and to bear judgment for or against them.

Why is a cross or monument erected aver the grave?

To show that the deceased was a follower of Christ, the Crucified, to admonish the passers-by to pray for him, and to remind us of the solemn moment of death.

Why is the body laid in consecrated ground?

This is done through reverence for the bodies of the dead which are, by baptism, temples of the Holy Ghost; to show that, even in death, they still belong to the communion of that holy Church, in which they were embodied during life by baptism, and to which they clung in faith even until death; to inspire the surviving with a holy fear lest they profane graves.

Why is the solemn funeral service of the Church denied to heretics?

Because they would not belong to the Church during life, and despised the holy customs and prayers of the Church for the dead. How should the blessing and prayer of the Church be useful in death to one who despised them during life.

Why does not the Church permit criminals and suicides to be buried on consecrated ground?

In order to express her horror for the crimes perpetrated by them, and to deter the faithful from committing similar actions.

Update on Internal Investigation

 By Anna Von Reitz

I know that I just reported the status of the investigation into the attack on the LRS but from the responses I am receiving there are still a lot of clueless people who don’t now and never did understand what I meant when I said—- repeatedly—- that the LRS was always intended to be an international recording service. 

They equally didn’t connect the dots when I said that people all over the world have been the victims of the exact same fraud. 

So let me get a frozen slab of halibut out of my freezer and see if I can knock some sense into these people. 

About five years ago, Land Recording Offices started closing for no apparent reason—- all over the world. 

In Great Britain there is exactly one land recording office left—- and it is in the Inner City of London, for the convenience of the British Monarch. 

The British People have always held their land as Free Holds—- meaning that they have unalienable rights with respect to land parcels they occupy, even though the King holds land assets in a National Land Trust.  

Even if these people have been hoodwinked and abused by the Incorporated Government (just as we have) they have “reversionary Trust interests” that they can claim just as we do. 

They are also owed a ton of actual physical assets and the credit resulting from the use of these assets as collateral backing the public debts of the Incorporated Government—- aka, the Imperial Crown Corporation. 

Every time a Brit or an American claims back their Free Hold the government loses assets backing its debts and the credit secured from those assets has to be accounted for. 

This is true in America, the United Kingdom, the former Commonwealth, Germany, Japan, and elsewhere wherever the Vermin have set up shop. 

The asset loss and responsibility aforementioned is what the rats are attempting to evade by closing the land recording offices and making it nearly impossible for average people to record their claims and exercise their reversionary trust interests. 

We have more than 330 million Americans, most of whom have valid claims.  Billions of others worldwide have valid claims — and this miserable cartel at the top is preventing everyone from recording their political status and securing their reversionary trust interest by closing the land recording offices. 

Enter the LRS—- to help the BILLIONS of people who desperately need the same service we do and which we are providing to ourselves. 
And don’t forget the American Service Members and all the other Americans who are posted overseas for one reason or another. 

The LRS was also the first service to come to the rescue of Americans living in States where access to Land Offices was being restricted and our “public servants” were refusing to record their claims. 

The LRS was the wedge in the door making sure that everyone, everywhere, including Americans in bad circumstances, could have access to recording services. 

No matter what. 

The LRO was developed later to replace the local Land Recording Offices that were being closed down or misdirected not to record our claims.  

Thus, we had two land recording services—- the LRO moving into place to provide local service to Americans and the LRS in international jurisdiction standing available to Americans in foreign countries, Americans in this country who didn’t have access, and everyone else worldwide struggling with the same problems 

“Thanks” to the unflagging and pernicious insubordination of certain Assembly and Federation officers all those Americans and innocent people all over the world no longer have a way forward.  They are being prevented from bringing forward their claims, because the LRS is no longer functioning. 

These mean-spirited and wrong-headed individuals acted out of fear and jealousy and greed —- and a desire to control everything—
to slander the LRS effort. And they directly continued their “assault” in the face of my direct instruction to cut it out. 

Like the Mockingbird Media they just continued misrepresenting the LRS and undermining its mission until they finally got what they wanted, 

“Thanks” to them, the LRS was dealt a fatal blow from within by the very people and organizations that should have been cheering the LRS effort on. 

“Thanks” to these boneheaded and insubordinate miscreants we now have 22,000 people including Americans facing an upward struggle and we are left without the means to deliver relief to them. 

We can no longer just push a button and give people all over the world a safe international trade bank account.  We can’t deliver the money and credit they are owed.  And it is all because a few people acted out of fear and ignorance and selfishness. 

Welcome to the story of the whole human race. 

The “few” who spoil everything for the many. 

Despite this setback we are not deterred.  We will preserve the records of the LRS.  We will re-launch an international Land Recording Service.  We will not fail in our will and our mission to bring abundance and peace to the world. 

When I catch up to those who have done this dreadful thing, they are going to have their noses rubbed in the delays and the misery that they have caused with their “Hate LRS” campaign, and face up to the situation they have caused me and 22,000 innocent people worldwide who had already signed up on the LRS and who were ready to receive relief through auto-assigned Trade Bank accounts. 

The same opportunities would have been available to the LRO if the Perpetrators had just followed my instructions and waited another week.  

Instead we have yet another self-generated debacle to sort out and more time wasted. 

Shame on them forever. 

But the very worst of this are the billions of people left without a rescue “boat” to ferry them home again. People will starve and freeze because a few miscreants couldn’t exercise their brain cells.  Those deaths will be their legacy and karma because they would not listen to me. 

They thought they were smarter, more experienced, and better judges.  They thought they “knew better” and didn’t even pause to ask themselves who built the ark they are sailing on?  

They went off on their pity potty tangent without the slightest idea of the far larger mission the rest of us had already embarked upon. 

So here we are, momentarily stuck dead in the water, and it is all because of self-centered lying and ignorance. 

The people who made all these chargebacks had cause to know that they themselves had entered the data and paid the fees for publication on the LRS.  To issue the chargeback they HAD TO LIE and say that they hadn’t done the data entry, hadn’t paid for the service, and by inference, claim that the LRS was at fault. 

Once again, we are being tripped up by Liars — people lacking the basic moral compass to realize that what they were doing was wrong. 

As we struggle to rebirth and restore our heritage we need to cast out the Devil in ourselves. 

Lying is one of the surest signs that a person is in league with The Father of All Lies.  

The people who did this probably thought they were protecting themselves and protecting their interests by doing this evil.  Maybe they even thought that they were protecting me by ignoring me and my instructions to them. 

Most people who lie are deluded and depend on ego to justify what they do. 

They also think they won’t get caught.
