THE FEAST OF THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS

This past week we have celebrated, in the Universal Church of Jesus Christ, the Feast of His Sacred Heart.
Most people have never heard of this devotion, let alone understand where it came from so today I have done some research and I would encourage you to read this to the end. This devotion and His love for us are His last and greatest attempt to bring us to where we need to be for our eternal salvation.

ORIGIN OF THIS FESTIVAL

After many devout souls had venerated the Sacred Heart of Jesus, with sincere devotion, in the solitude of quiet life, as is seen in the lives of SS..Augustine, Bernard, Bonaventura, Thomas of Aquin, Francis de Sales, Ignatius, Clara, Gertrude, Mechtild, Catharine of Sienna, Theresa, and others, our divine Saviour willed that His heart's infinite love should be recognized by all men, and be kindled in cold hearts by a new fire of love. For this end He made use of a feeble, obscure instrument, that all the world might know that the devotion to His loving heart; previously almost entirely unknown, was His own work. This instrument, disregarded by the world, was one who shone before God in all 'the radiance of the most sublime virtues; the nun Margaret Alacoque of the order of the Visitation of Mary, at Paray, in Burgundy. In the year 1675, whilst she was one day in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament; our Lord appeared to her, and pointing to His heart which He showed to her, surrounded with flames, surmounted by the cross, encircled with a crown of thorns, and pierced with a gaping wound, He said to her: "Behold this heart, which has loved mankind so much, and which receives only ingratitude and coldness in return for its love. My desire is that you should make reparation to my heart for this ingratitude, and induce others also to make reparation." Our Lord then designated the Friday after the Octave of Corpus Christi as the special day for this duty. In several subsequent apparitions our divine Lord repeated this injunction, and made the most unbounded promises in favor' of all who would apply themselves to this office of reparation to His Sacred Heart. The following are some of His promises;

1. I will give them all the graces necessary for their state of life.
   
2. I will establish peace in their families.
   
3. I will console them in all their pains and trials.
   
4. I will be their assured refuge in life, and especially in death.
   
5. I will shed abundant blessings upon all their undertakings.
   
6. Sinners shall find in my Heart an infinite ocean of mercy.
   
7. Lukewarm souls will be rendered fervent.
   
8. Fervent souls shall rise rapidly to greater perfection.
   
9. I will bless those houses where the image of my heart shall be exposed and honored.
   
10. I will give to priests the gift of moving the hardest hearts.
    
11. Persons who propagate this devotion,. shall have their names inscribed on my heart, never to be effaced from it.

Margaret obeyed, but found everywhere the greatest opposition, actual sneers and persecution, even from her Sisters in religion, until finally, with the aid of her divine spouse, she succeeded as mistress of novices, in bringing her young charges to the veneration of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. But this did not content her zeal; although opposition continued, she strove to fulfil the command of Jesus, who assisted her by at last changing the hardened hearts of the nuns and inflaming them with the same love of His Sacred Heart. This devotion soon spread from the convent throughout the adjoining dioceses, where confraternities in honor of the Sacred Heart of Jesus arose, and Pope Clement, XIII., after causing the strictest investigation to be made, commanded?the Festival of the Sacred Heart of Jesus to be observed throughout the Catholic Church on the first Friday after the octave of Corpus Christi.

ON DEVOTION TO THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS

I. OBJECT OF THIS DEVOTION

By the Sacred Heart of Jesus must be understood not the lifeless heart, separated from the body of Christ, but the tender, loving heart of the God-Man, the home of all His emotions, the fountain of all His virtues, and the most touching embodiment of His infinite love for man. The Catholic Church, in like manner, sets apart certain festivals with appropriate Mass and office, in honor of the cross, of our Lord's sacred blood and wounds that our devotion to the Redeemer may be rendered more fervent by the contemplation of these objects, for Jesus has shed His blood for us, has received wounds for us which He retained even after His resurrection, as eternal signs of His immense love for man, has taken them with Him to heaven, and will show them to us on the judgment Day. How much more should our Saviour's Sacred Heart be the object of our devotion, since all the thoughts, sentiments, and emotions of this most loving heart aim only at our salvation, and since it is always ready to receive truly penitent sinners to forgive them, again to turn His love to them, and make them sharers in eternal bliss.

Therefore the saints have from the first encouraged a tender devotion to this most Sacred Heart, as already mentioned. "Longinus," says St. Augustine, "opened the side of Jesus with His spear; in it I enter, and securely rest." "O how good," exclaims St. Bernard, "how lovely to take up my abode in this Heart! In this temple, in this sanctuary, before this ark of the covenant, I will adore and praise the name of the Lord, and say with the prophet: I have found in the heart of Jesus, my king, my brother, my friend." "Believe me, O blinded men," says St. Bonaventura, "if you knew how to enter by His sacred wounds into the interior of Jesus, you would there find not, only a wonderful sweetness for your soul, but even sweet repose for your body. And if even the body there finds rest, how great, think you, must be the sweetness which the spirit there enjoys, if through these wounds we become united to the Sacred Heart of Jesus!" And St. Peter Damian says: "In this adorable heart we find the weapons with which to defend ourselves against our enemies, a cure for our ills, powerful help against temptations, the sweetest consolation is suffering, and the purest joy in this valley of tears."

St. Mechtild and St. Gertrude found themselves transported in an especial manner by the tenderness of this adorable heart, to adore it fervently, and Gertrude, enlightened by the Spirit of God, spoke these prophetic words: "The Lord retained until these late centuries the devotion to His Sacred Heart, as a last effort of His divine love." We have already seen how these words have been verified in the pious Margaret. O would that Jesus' great desire that all men, might know and love His Sacred Heart be accomplished!

II. EXCELLENCE OF THIS DEVOTION

It is, says the venerable P. Simon Gourdan:

1. The most sacred devotion, for by it man venerates the holiest sentiments and emotions of the Heart of Jesus, by which He has sanctified the Church, glorified His Heavenly Father, and presented Himself to us as the perfect model of the most exalted sanctity.
   
2. The oldest devotion of the holy Church, which, instructed by the great St. Paul, has at all times recognized the munificence of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
   
3. The most approved devotion, for the holy Scriptures everywhere exhort us to renew our heart by changing our lives, rendering them contrite by true penance, inflaming them with the fire of divine love, and adorning them by the exercise of all virtue. Therefore a new heart is promised on which to remodel our Heart. That Heart can be no other than the Heart of Jesus, which is given us as an example of all virtue, and which we must imitate if we wish to be saved.
   
4. The most perfect devotion, for it is the: source of all other devotions; the Heart of Jesus is that inexhaustible treasury from which the Mother of God and all the saints have drawn their graces, their life, their virtues, and all spiritual blessings. Filled from this treasury, other servants of God have instituted different devotions.
   
5. The most useful devotion, for in it we have the Fountain of Life itself before our eyes, from which we can draw directly, and increase in all virtue by adoring this divine Heart, meditating on its holy desires, and seeking to imitate it.
   
6. The devotion most pleasing to Christ, for by it we honor God, as Christ requires, in spirit and in truth, because we adore the interior power of God, seeking to please His heart.
   
7. Finally; the most necessary devotion, for its object is that we become intimately connected as members with Jesus, our Head, that we live by and according to His spirit, and have only one heart and soul with Christ.

Because this devotion is of such importance, we cannot sufficiently recommend it to all who are anxious for their soul's salvation. Every person may cherish this devotion, and venerate the Heart of Jesus by himself, but there is a greater blessing when pious souls make the devotion in a confraternity. In the year 1726 there existed more than three hundred such confraternities, and they are now spread throughout all Catholic countries. Do not delay then, O Christian soul, to practise this devotion, uniting with others . to honor the divine Heart of Jesus, because in this most Blessed Heart all men find their reconciliation, the pious their assurance, sinners their hope, the oppressed their comfort, the sick their relief, those who are fighting their strength, the dying their refuge and the elect their joy and bliss.

The Introit of this day's Mass reads: He will have mercy according to the multitude of his mercies: for he bath not willingly afflicted nor cast off the children of men: the Lord is good to them that hope in him, to the soul that seeketh him. Allel. allel. (Lament III. 32: 33. 25.) The mercies of the Lord I will sing for ever: to generation and generation. (Ps. LXXXVIII, 1.). Glory &c.

COLLECT Grant, we beseech Thee, Almighty God, that we who, glorying in the most Sacred Heart of Thy beloved Son, celebrate the singular benefits of His love toward us, may rejoice equally in their operation and their fruit. Through the same &c.

LESSON (Isai. XII. 1?6.) I will give thanks to thee, O Lord, for thou wart angry with me; thy wrath is turned away, and, thou hast comforted me. Behold God is my Saviour, I will deal confidently, and will not fear: because the Lord is my strength and my raise, and he is become my salvation. You shall draw waters with joy out of the Saviour's fountains: and you shall say in that day: Praise ye the Lord, and call upon his name: make his works known among tie people: remember that his name is high. Sing ye to the Lord, for he hath done great things: show this forth in all the earth. Rejoice, and praise, O thou habitation of Sion: for great is he that is in the midst of thee, the Holy One of Israel.

EXPLANATION This lesson is a hymn of praise for the deliverance of the Jews from the hands of their enemies, and at the same time a prophecy of the coming redemption of mankind from sin and death through Christ. Man will then draw waters with joy, says the prophet, from the Saviour's fountains. These fountains are the graces which Jesus has gained for us on the cross, but especially, as St: Augustine says, the holy Sacraments of Baptism and Communion. We should rejoice on account of these graces, particularly that the Holy One of Israel, Christ, the Son of God, dwells in the midst of Sion, that is, in the Catholic Church, in the Blessed Sacrament, to remain there to the end of the world. - Oh! let us often approach this everflowing fountain of all grace, the holy Eucharist, and let us draw with confidences consolation, help, and strength from this fountain of love.

GOSPEL (John XIX. 31-35.) At that time, The Jews (because it was the parasceve), that the bodies might not remain upon the cross on the sabbath-day (for that was a great. sabbath-day), besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. The soldiers, therefore, came, and they broke the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified with him. But after they were come to Jesus, when they saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. But one of the soldiers with a spear opened his side, and immediately there came out blood and water. And he that saw it hath given testimony: and his testimony is true.

EXPLANATION According to the Jewish law a criminal could not be put to death, nor could the body of one who had been executed, remain in the place of execution, on the Sabbath day; it was for this reason that the Jews asked Pilate, the governor, to have the Body of Christ and those of the two thieves buried. Before this could be done, the bones of the crucified, according to the Roman law, had to be broken with iron clubs. The soldiers did so to the two thieves, who were yet alive; when they came to Jesus and found Him dead, they did not break His bones, but one of them, Longinus, opened the Saviour's side with a spear, as was foretold by the prophet.

Jesus permitted His most Sacred Heart to be opened to atone for and efface those sins of men which originate in the heart, as Christ Himself says: (Matt. XV. 19.) From the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts; false testimonies, blasphemies; also to show us the infinite love with which He has loved lts from the beginning, so that lie even shed the last drop of His heart's blood for our salvation; to make, as it were, a place of refuge in His heart for us, as St. Augustine says: "The Evangelist is very careful in his expression; he does not say, the soldiers pierced or wounded His side, but he o p e n e d it, as if to open for us the door of life, from which flow the Sacraments of the Church, without which there can be no access to the true life." As often, then, as a temptation arises, or trouble depresses us, let us take refuge in that abode, and dwell there, until the tempest is over; as says the prophet; (Is. II. 10.) Enter thou into the rock, and hide thee in the pit. Who is the rock but Christ, and what is the pit but His wound?

AN ACT OF RESIGNATION TO THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS

[An indulgence of one hundred Days is gained by saying this prayer with true contrition, before a picture of the sacred heart of Jesus, and a plenary indulgence by saying it every day for a month, an,Àã receiving the Sacraments of Penance and Communion, and Praying for the Church.]

O Jesus, most worthy of love! I gratefully offer
Thee my heart in compensation for my great unfaithfulness,
and consecrate myself wholly and forever to
Thy service, purposing, with Thy grace, no more to
offend Thee. Amen

FEDS STAND DOWN AS U.S. BORDER COLLAPSES

Border Patrol trucks sit in parking lots as surge of illegal immigrants flood America

http://www.infowars.com/feds-stand-down-as-u-s-border-collapses/

We are being invaded by foreign nationals from many countries and Obama and the congress are doing NOTHING, but encouraging the invasion.

This invasion is completely treasonous, and anybody who condones these illegals coming across the border is guilty of it. 

This is nothing less than an orchestrated collapse of America's borders and American Sovereignty.

The Obama insiders that are doing this should all be arrested, jailed and charged with high Treason.

Even though he is NOT a lawful president - Impeach the Traitor anyway

This long article appearing on WND.com shows how the idea of impeachment is gaining ground in the mainstream media. But that might be too little, too late.

I say just arrest this traitor and march him out of our white house in handcuffs and put him in the crowbar hotel until he can be taken to trial for his high crimes and treason.

Was The Fix In From The Beginning?

Read this thought provoking article from Eric Peters.

I threw the Constitution in the woods years ago, when I became aware of its true nature as a document empowering government rather than protecting the rights of the people. The historic fact is the Constitution was intended to gut the rights of the people; it was only as an afterthought that the Bill of Rights was tacked on, to placate those who were – rightly, as it turns out – suspicious of what Hamilton & Co. were up to.

Iraq will never be anything but an Islamic nightmare.

Iraq falls to Islamic militants: here's what the media isn't telling you about WHY it's happening

Tags: Iraq militants, U.S. occupation, puppet governments

(NaturalNews) The puppet Iraqi government installed at gunpoint by western imperialist nations is collapsing. Iraq is now being overrun by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). The oil-rich city of Tikrit has already been captured, and militants are headed for Baghdad, the capitol city of Iraq.

The military surge has sent shockwaves around the world, shining yet another spotlight on the disastrously failed foreign policies of the United States and the Obama administration. While the U.S. military occupation of Iraq began in 2003 under President Bush, Obama pulled most U.S. troops from the nation in 2011, leaving behind a puppet government installed at gunpoint by the USA. That government is now on the verge of total collapse as armed, impassioned Islamic militants are rapidly overrunning the country.

You are watching the beginning of Armageddon.  The Islamic false religion precludes any ability in these people to live in freedom. They are incapable of self governance.  The reason is their horrible Sharia mentality which is based on lies and false belief.

Scientific Misconduct - Substantial Proof

Global Warming caused by man is a huge hoax and government is the perpe-"traitor"!

Various members of the “scientific” community have been providing environmental justifications for numerous federal and global projects. But are they providing honest science, or quackery to justify pre-determined political outcomes? More and more, it appears the latter is true. Global warming has been completely debunked. The judge overhearing the Delta Smelt case essentially called government’s witness a liar. Two environmentalists were arrested for false science within the past week.

Rural communities across the country should jump on this information. Everything the DOI has done or is doing across the entire nation is tainted and suspect.

Two scientists expose the corruption and lies about Global Warming and much more.

The Dollar is Done as the world's reserve currency

End of US Dominance :   Death of the Dollar Update:

For more than four years now Michael Maloney has been demonstrating to audiences around the world that every 30-40 years the world has an entirely new global monetary system, that the current monetary system (the U.S. dollar standard) is aging and becoming unstable, and, just like the previous monetary systems, will soon implode.

On June 1st, 2014, at the Cambridge House Investment Conference in Vancouver, Canada, he updated his “Death of the Dollar” presentation and showed how the “Nails in the Coffin of the Dollar Standard” are now coming faster and are more furious than ever before. He believes that there will be a global currency crisis before the end of this decade and that the days of the dollar standard are numbered.

In a second presentation on the same day he makes the most convincing argument yet that there is a massive deflation coming, that there will probably be an overnight devaluation of the dollar and huge overnight revaluation of gold, and, though it will be painful for most, it is the greatest opportunity in history for those who are prepared.

Deescalating the Police

I have learned over the years that when one’s mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear. Rosa Parks

By Jack Mullen:

Americans face a new crisis: police violence against citizens is escalating, blurring the line between criminal and public servant.

Escalating violence against American citizens by police has reached a bifurcation point; Americans are feeling the heat and are beginning to realize something must be done to deescalate police or soon America will join the ranks of hell holes of police crime and violence like Mexico, Haiti, Russia, Uzbekistan and elsewhere where police are independent gangs, violent and undisciplined and devolving into something closer to pirates – stealing property directly from their victims.

Horror stories of police murdering, beating, raping and plundering citizens are daily news in a cities large and small. One city, Albuquerque, NM is now murdering more people per capita than NYPD during arrests, yet NYC is 14 times more populated.......

TED CRUZ – A CASE STUDY ON NATURAL BORN

This is an excellent article from News with views forwarded by Brenda Hambrick.  Thanks Brenda!

The guy that wrote this did a really great job of explaining it…first good one that I have seen.

http://www.newswithviews.com/JBWilliams/williams279.htm

THE UNCONSTITUTIONALITY OF THE 14th AMENDMENT

The following is a treatise on the unconstitutionality of the Fourteenth Amendment, based upon the most comprehensive research and documentation of every angle in the unlawful procedures involved in its purported adoption.

This work was done, and is offered with a realization that the federal courts are not ready to give consideration to the subject, because the U. S. Supreme Court and inferior courts have used the the 14th Amendment to enlarge upon their ungranted powers without limit or reserve.

Socialist organized and directed violent mass demonstrations and armed rebellion in the nation's capital and in many American cities are extorting from Congress more and more radical legislation. These "laws" threaten basic personal freedom, private property rights and encroach upon and destroy more and more the constitutional right of self-government by the people on state and local levels. Executive orders extend toward further federal control of every aspect of life in the Nation, either by shutting off federal funds to those who will not subscribe to their forced dictums or by court injunctive orders to the same effect.

There lies the greatest danger to our country's future: so that the end result in the next or succeeding generation can only be a deteriorated industrial empire and a weakened national defense, which must result in abject surrender to our mortal enemy,-- world-wide Socialism and Totalitarianism. That is the ultimate end of the subversive use of the unconstitutional 14th Amendment.

It is hoped that this treatise, exposing the absolute unconstitutionality of the l4th amendment, will be given sufficient general circulation and publicity to awaken a "consensus" of public sentiment to reach the seats of power in Washington, D. C., so that ultimately the stamp of unconstitutionality may be placed upon the 14th amendment, and constitutional government and national sanity once more may prevail.

The Largest Robbery of the American People in History!

When the general public in Amerika finally figures this out there will be blood running in the streets.

My friends we have been had for over 100 years by this den of thieves. They have stolen all our wealth. They have robbed us blind starting from before any of us were born, and they have eaten out our substance as a country and as individuals.  BOYCOTT THE BANKS.

Classic 1977 Mercury for sale to finish Oathkeepers radio project.

Hi Everyone,

I had published several articles about how we are setting up emergency communications for Oathkeepers safety.

I had said we would finish the project "one way or another".

Here are the articles.  http://www.paulstramer.net/2014/05/communications-at-bundy-ranch-and.html

and the update here:  http://www.lincolncountywatch.org/Oathkeepers/vanpics.html

Well I didn't get one thin dime from the PayPal button so far, but Oathkeepers has found the radio, powersupply, signal link, and some antenna stuff,

and Rocky, our main ham guy in Florida sent that up here. I should have it all mounted in the van and ready to go this week some time.

We have lots more to do. After I get the van done and show you some pictures we want to finish the project with the case with portable magnet mount antennas,

so we can fly and check it all, then rent a vehicle and in a matter of 30 minutes have it all running in that vehicle. This will take a bit more money, and time,

but that way we can use this same gear instead of buying yet another HF radio.

So to get that done I am selling my classic 1977 Mercury Marquis.  I had this car advertised about 4 years ago at this page.

http://www.mercurymarquis.info/

It didn't sell then so I added some more TLC by doing a tuneup, putting new tires on the original steel wheels that came with the car and the full hubcaps that

also came on the car, with new plug wires and plugs, and new distributor. This is a 460 and is one heck of a road machine. With dual glass packs with resonators, and completely rebuilt carb this thing develops lots of horses and torgue, and still gets about 15 to 17 MPG when you drive it easy.  I dare you to drive it easy.

This is the toughest drive train Ford ever built with a C6 tranny and 9 inch rear end. They put this in millions of vehicles and many are still on the road today.

In any case there will be no reasonable offer refused. I am asking $3900.  The car has less than 65,000 actual miles and is in great shape.

Sunday Prayers for Patriots - 5th Sunday after Easter

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.

Only "Extremists" Believe They Have a Right to be Left Alone

This article by William Norman Grigg deserves to be reprinted in it's entirety all across this land.

By William Norman Grigg

http://www.lewrockwell.com/2014/05/william-norman-grigg/think-you-have-the-right-to-be-left-alone%E2%80%A8/

Ernie Wayne terTelgte is a poor man from a tiny village in Montana who believes that nature gives him a license to live. Barack Obama is a wealthy and privileged man residing at the seat of power who believes his position gives him a license to kill. Naturally, the Tolerance Commissars are pretending that the former is a menace to society, because of the contempt he displays for the system that facilitates the crimes committed by the latter.

Last August, terTelgte was fishing at Three Forks Pond with his eleven-year-old son when they were accosted by Adam Pankratz, who is employed as a warden by the Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks Service.

When Pankratz saw terTelgte reeling in a fish, the warden asked if he had a fishing license. TerTelgte replied that he didn’t need one. Pretending to concede the point, the warden persisted in demanding that terTelgte provide identification. When both teTelgte and his son quite sensibly refused the demand, Pankratz called for assistance, and Three Forks Police Officer Colter Metcalf quickly arrived.

Officer Metcalf made a brief and unsuccessful attempt to learn terTelgte’s identity.

Pankratz later said that he and Metcalf were concerned by the fact that terTelgte’s “body language” was “tense,” that his language was “curt,” and that he kept telling them to “walk away” and “just leave me alone.” This is a description of someone whose behavior was defensive. But Pankratz and Metcalf, as representatives of the coercive caste, insisted on escalating the encounter by arresting him for “obstruction.”

“We didn’t want it to go this far, especially with the son … but we couldn’t identify him,” Pankratz complained, assuming that a tax-funded aggressor is entitled to sympathy because of his occupation.

Since terTelgte had no legal duty to present identification (Montana code authorizes “stop and frisk”-style harassment of citizens, but doesn’t specify that citizens have a duty to identify themselves), the arrest was unlawful. As is the case elsewhere, Montana state statutes authorize police to abduct citizens without legal justification if this is done “under the peace officer’s official authority.”

Plucking a fish from a “publicly owned” pond without a license is considered an offense, despite the fact that entailed no violation of property rights. (If it did, who is the victim, and what injury did he sustain?) Violently abducting a human being who has done no harm to anyone, on the other hand, is regarded as a “lawful” act, assuming that the kidnapper is accoutered in the officially prescribed costume.

To his credit, the victim was non-cooperative but non-violent. This wasn’t true of the assailants, of course. After Metcalf threatened to attack terTelgte with pepper spray, Pankratz kicked his legs out from beneath him.

Rather than mounting a violent defense against his captors, terTelgte simply sat motionless on the ground, forcing them to pick him up and carry him to the police car.

During his arraignment before Three Forks Municipal Judge Wanda Drusch, terTelgte refused to defer to her authority or play his expected role as a penitent and submissive suspect.

“I was searching for something to put in my stomach as I am … allowed to do by universal law,” he declared. “I am the living man and I have the right to forage for food when I am hungry.” 

The “trial” last November — if the proceedings merit that description — was attended by 32 police officers from ten agencies, brought together by shared concern that the defendant’s defiance might prove contagious. TerTelgte was denied the right—supposedly protected by the Constitution – to cross-examine witnesses or to introduce evidence on his own behalf.

To the surprise of nobody, terTelgte was quickly found guilty of the supposed offense of obstructing the unwarranted harassment of armed state

functionaries, and refusing to cooperate in his own abduction. Although his jail sentence was suspended, terTelgte later spent 30 days behind bars for “contempt” after he declined to take off his hat in the courtroom during a subsequent appearance on another charge of “resisting arrest.”

TerTelgte is clearly eccentric; he might even be considered obnoxious by some. It is reasonable to conclude that his actions have been unwise, a violation of the principle that each of us has trouble enough and shouldn’t be seeking to borrow more. But he is patently harmless. There is no evidence that he has ever injured or defrauded anybody, which certainly can’t be said of the government functionaries who assaulted and caged him, or the criminal entity that employs them.

It is the zeal to prolong the pretense of the Regime’s legitimacy that led the Southern Poverty Law Center to identify terTelgte as a public enemy, an exponent of what that self-appointed Stasi calls “sovereign citizen ideology.”

Stated in its broadest terms, the “sovereign citizen” concept holds that some people can exempt themselves from the law through the use of esoteric legal concepts expressed in impenetrable language. From that perspective, people who utter or publish the appropriate conjurations can seize the property of others, issue fraudulent financial instruments, and employ lethal violence against those who seek to hold them accountable.

Assuming that this is an accurate description, at least some “sovereign citizens” are attempting to mimic the criminal behavior of those who presume to rule the rest of us. The SPLC and allied “watchdog” groups offer no objections to the routine practice of fraud and exercise of lethal aggressive violence by the most dangerous element of our society. They simply want to preserve that element’s monopoly on the privilege of committing criminal aggression.

This is why the SPLC professes alarm that outrage over the terTelgte case has prompted some Montana residents to create a citizens’ grand jury to investigate allegations of abuse and official misconduct. SPLC flack David Neiwert breathlessly – and perhaps hopefully – writes that this could lead to a rural “showdown” akin to the April 12 confrontation in Bunkerville, Nevada.

William Wolf, who has organized efforts to create the citizens grand jury, has suggested that his group might arrest Rick West, the Justice of the Peace who sent terTelgte to jail for thirty days on a contempt charge. Gallatin County Sheriff Brian Gootkin described this as “unacceptable,” accusing Wolf and his allies of “crossing a line they can’t cross.”

“When there are threats like this, not only does it affect that person, it affects their family,” mewled Gootkin in a television interview. “For someone in the family to live in fear, that’s not the way things work. When you start talking about arresting people and kidnapping people … that’s unacceptable and nothing good comes from that.”

It’s appropriate that Gootkin uses the terms “arrest” and “kidnap” interchangeably, given that the latter is properly applied to what was done to terTelgte. The public record is barren of any recognition by Sheriff Gootkin that terTelgte’s abduction traumatized his eleven-year-old son and made him “live in fear.” Apparently the impact of violence on Mundanes and their children doesn’t concern the Sheriff.

Gootkin also berated members of the proposed citizens’ grand jury for “bypassing” the criminal justice system. The real scandal here is the effective destruction of the grand jury, which was intended to be a citizens’ assembly rather than a government entity.

From the Founding era until the early 20th Century, grand juries were bodies that could carry out independent investigations of official corruption and deliver “presentments” to prosecutors in search of redress. Constitutional scholar Roger Roots observes that the grand jury, “in its primal, plenary sense … was a group of men who stood as a check on government, often in direct opposition to the desires of those in power.”

Writing in the Fordham Law Review, Kevin K. Washburn points out that the grand jury “came to us as an institution that was respected for its profound ability to protect local communities – indeed, possibly rebellious ones – from central government authority. It was, in essence, a local check on Crown authority.” In that capacity, grand juries not only conducted rigorous review of facts, but also “nullification of validly enacted laws,” Washburn continues.

During the reign of FDR, an executive branch Advisory Committee on the Rules of Criminal Procedure – an unaccountable body with no legislative mandate – imposed regulations intended to destroy the independence of grand juries. As a result, “the grand jury is the total captive of the prosecutor, who, if he is candid, will concede that he can indict anybody, at any time, for almost anything, before any grand jury,” wrote federal District Judge William J. Campbell, who urged the formal abolition of the institution in the interests of efficiency.

Judge Campbell offered those observations in 1973. Since that time, the US criminal “justice” system has reached almost Soviet levels of prosecutorial efficiency. Under the reign of Josef Stalin, Soviet procurators were ordered to achieve a 100 conviction rate. In the current federal system, notes Lew Rockwell, the defendant “wins once every 212 times.”

Once the grand jury was re-purposed as an arm of the state, prosecutors were free to commit routine due process violations and destroy what remained of the institution of trial by jury. “Waiving the Criminal Justice System,” a study recently published by the University of Texas School of Law, describes how the adversarial process through which the state must prove the guilt of a defendant has been supplanted with a system of administrative law in which prosecutors extract plea bargains in exchange for relatively lenient sentences. This is why federal prosecutors win well more than ninety percent of their cases through plea bargains, rather than jury trials.

This is a lamentable state of affairs, and, to many observers, a familiar story. This study, however, breaks new ground by showing that prosecutors at both the state and federal levels require defendants to waive due process rights that are vital for post-conviction appeals – such as the right to effective assistance of counsel, and the right to obtain exculpatory evidence that can be used to overturn a conviction or at least obtain a new trial.

In the American tradition, the purpose of a trial was to establish the truth of an accusation against a defendant who is presumed to be innocent. The purpose of our post-constitutional criminal system is to ratify the defendant’s guilt, irrespective of the facts or the law. This is not the doing of eccentrics and “extremists” like Ernie terTelgte, but rather of the respectable people who employ the exercise and the threat of violence to force others to submit to their will – and who can rely on the unconditional support of the SPLC and others of their contemptible ilk.

Roughly a week ago, while the SPLC was pretending that terTelgte and his supporters are a threat to the republic, the US Supreme Court put an end to the illusion that something worthy of being called a republic still exists, or that citizens have any reasonable expectation that, if accused of an offense, they have a right to a trial of some kind.

The High Court refused to hear an appeal filed by Chris Hedges and several other activists challenging a provision of the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act under which the president can order the indefinite military detention – without trial or legal recourse — of any U.S. citizen he regards as an enemy of the state.

That provision was struck down as unconstitutional by US District Judge Katherine Forrest, who ruled that it could lead to the seizure and imprisonment of people who exercised rights supposedly protected by the First Amendment. As is their habit, the executive branch’s legal minions greeted that ruling with an indifferent shrug and filed an appeal before a more complaisant federal judge, who ruled that no citizen has legal standing to challenge the NDAA. That ruling was left undisturbed by the Supreme Court.

As a result, summarizes progressive commentator Thom Hartman, the military “now has the power to label us terrorists, capture us, lock us up in jail, and hold us there without any regard for our Constitutional rights to due process or a fair trial.” That power very nicely compliments Obama’s routine practice of executing people without the benefit of trial – including at least one teenaged U.S. citizen.

Ernie terTeglte’s view of sovereignty is that he has a right to feed himself and be left alone. Barack Obama’s view of sovereignty is that of Vladimir Lenin – the supposed right of the Dear Leader to exercise “power without limit, resting directly on force, restrained by no laws, absolutely unrestricted by rules.” Not surprisingly, the SPLC and its allies consider the first view unacceptable, and regard the second as mandatory.

Jury Nullification objections Rebutted - Yours rights on a jury explained.

This jury nullification right is your most powerful vote in our system. 
In a time when almost all courts are corrupt, and operating under commercial and admiralty law in contravention to the US Constitution this may be the only way to get justice in that system. 
The judges don't want you to know this. The prosecutors and the government don't want you to do this. This may be the only way to inject the eternal laws of our creator into an otherwise totally corrupt and evil system of de-facto judgement that has been hijacked by bar attorneys who KNOW what they are involved in and are using it to line their own pockets and create their empire. 
Naturally they will scream and holler when someone makes this knowledge public because it threatens that power and their whole profession. Juries can completely ignore instructions from a judge, and they can completely nullify evil so called laws which are in opposition to the rights that the Constitutions safeguard. 

That has always been the case in our country, and long before our country was founded it was the case in common law. 
Remember the 7th amendment " In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury shall be otherwise re-examined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law." 

I challenge anyone to find anywhere in this land any Court that examines according to the rules of common law! They are ALL ruling for the government according to commerce and admiralty, and the lawyers and prosecutors, and judges all KNOW .. So they are all breaking their oath before God to the US Constitution every day.

8 Jury Nullification Objections Rebutted By Steve Silverman Flex Your Rights May 23, 2014 

 A recent Chicago Tribune editorial targets a new fully informed jury bill introduced by the New Hampshire House of Representatives. The bill would strengthen the current state law passed in 2012 that allows lawyers “to inform the jury of its right to judge the facts and the application of the law in relation to the facts in controversy.” The editorial is noteworthy, because it deploys the most common legal establishment objections to jury nullification. ......

Robber Barons Stealing your Wealth under the color of "Law" called Admiralty?

When the American people find out that this is all true, and that they have been robbed by these robber barrons all their lives of every bit of prosperity, and once the government is no longer satisfied with peace and starts the violence they almost started at the Bundy ranch,  there will be an instant bloody revolution starting in America and spreading world wide to rid the world of these evil perpe-traitors of fraud and deception who are manipulating the whole of the world's wealth unlawfully by fraud and deception, threat, duress. coercion and intimidation, and by democide (the murder of a people by their own government) so that they alone can have all the wealth for themselves.  The corrupt courts in America will run with the blood of the corrupt judges and their co-conspirators. The judges will run from the country, and the people will pursue them to the ends of the earth.

My friends, we have NEVER IN OUR LIFETIMES been  really free of this evil.

If you think these statements are radical, and that I am nuts, then you are obligated to read the evidence below that will convince you that what I have said is true.

I didn't write the article below. But I have known most of this for years. DID THEY HAVE YOUR PERMISSION TO DO THIS?  I think not.  Is your state, city, or county listed on Dun and Bradstreet as a corporation. YES it probably is. Did they have your permission to do that ?  NO.

They treat us as cattle, like they treat Cliven Bundy and all the ranchers as cattle to do with as they please.  There will be repercussions for that.

The one thing the government can't do is leave you alone and in peace to live and work and raise your families in prosperity. They won't. Their evil satanic course won't let them. They will get violent at some point. They almost did at the Bundy ranch.

The article below explains why they are doing it and how they are doing it to steal all your wealth. They will steal your whole life if you let them, and they won't give a damn. They are NOT going to stop, unless we make them stop.

Let me say this about freedom. There are those in this world who WANT TO BE TOO FREE.  They want to be free of God's laws. They will have nothing of the moral laws, and that, my friends is the worst form of slavery. They are slaves to satan, the ultimate rebel. They rebel against all lawful authority and set themselves up as if they were God Himself, which they know they can never be, and for which their leader, satan, has already been judged for all eternity. So in their misery, they trade their whole eternity, for what they can get out of this short life.

God have Mercy on them. They know they are already lost for all eternity, so they are just as evil as they can be while they are here, perhaps wishing that in the end they can escape the punishment of their deeds by ceasing to exist.  Sorry boys, but that will never happen. You will wake up dead and buried in  Hell and wish you had just done things differently here on earth for a few years, and availed yourself of God's mercy and love instead. But alas it's too late.

Part of the proof of what is contained in the article below resides in the Mack/Printz decision where Justice Antonin Scalia talkes about the two jurisdicitons of federal and state.  I suggest you read that after this article. Here are the links.

Read the article and then tell me what you think.   I will reserve my opinion about how the Vatican fits in all this for another article.

Happily Walking the Plank

.by Cara St.Louis

― Daniel Webster

"There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters"

Two things everyone on the planet needs to know. We have had a system of 'legal' fiction imposed upon us called maritime law. It is a fiction. There is no such thing except aboard a ship at sea.

Second, those in the United States, please recall that each of the fifty states is sovereign. That has never ever been dissolved, never would be, and the states had collectively agreed to act as a body for certain purposes. That body and the states within it, are being illegally managed by the separate corporation that is Washington DC.

There are three such corporations: Washington DC, The City of London, and Vatican City.

Here's the third thing everyone needs to know, actually:

FULLY CONSTITUTED STATES

11 States have constituted the Administration of the Common Law Jury in all counties: New York 2-27-14; Florida 3-15-14; Connecticut 3-15-14; Rhode Island 3-15-14; New Jersey 3-22-14; New Hampshire 3-29-14; Arizona 3-31-14; Massachusetts 4-1-14; Maryland 4-5-14; Maine 4-12-14; Washington 5-18-14

Next time you see anything visual. a photo or a news report or a video or even a film that includes a courtroom or perhaps a political press conference, have a good look at the flags flying in the picture. No matter what country is represented by such flag, if it bears a gold braid border it is a signal that this entity is under "maritime law." That means that a courthouse is a ship, essentially, and the judge is the captain of the ship in the wheelhouse.

The gold fringe is not part of the American flag known as the Stars and Stripes, but it is a legal symbol indicating that the court, government building, school or soldier is operating under British Maritime Law and the Uniform Commercial Code; military and merchant law.

Global financial and political powers have been able to accomplish this, inflicting an artificial legal system upon humanity, by creating a system in which each child is registered essentially as cargo via the document known as a birth (berth) certificate, having been 'delivered' in a 'ward'. Just as a ship comes into a port and needs to file a 'manifest' listing its contents, you come out of your mother's 'water' when you are born. You dock in a berth.

Each berth certificate, upon which all personal data is spelled out in capital letters indicating that it is, in fact, cargo, has upon it somewhere a serial number. This number is your berth certificate number, which indicates you are owned by a corporation and it allows the cargo registered (you) to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange. And, believe me, we are traded and traded and traded some more.

Corporate Washington DC agreed to this in 1933 when the USA, bankrupt to its core, borrowed money from the Rothschild banks and consigned each and every citizen from that time forward be held as collateral against the loan. We are truly 'human resources.' The complete picture of this is beyond the scope of this article, however the facts are readily available.

There has been an over-riding movement, called the Freeman Movement, which has taken up the cause of undoing the spell. However, I contend that the unprecedented abuses taken upon the inhabitants of the United States throughout the 20th century and until today, those perpetrated at an exponentially rapid rate by every administration since Lyndon Johnson (with emphasis on Bushes, Clinton, and Obama) have set the scene for a true remembering of sovereignty by each and every state.

There are two kinds of law on this planet. Just two. Maritime Law (British Admiralty Law which conforms to the Universal Commercial Code) and Civil Law (the Law of the Land).(1)

Bill of Rights

Let us then for the sake of humanity, state that there is a false legal system laid upon us, like a thick blanket that chains us, binds us, and keeps us from feeling the sweet sun on our backs.

Is there then a bona fide legal system? Is there a state of being in which humanity has sole ownership of its sovereign self? Yes. It is Natural or Common Law. This truly is the legitimate law of the land.

Essentially the current system of maritime law courts treat each person who appears before the judge (captain) therein as the corporate fiction invented for the purposes of trading berth certificates on the stock exchange. You need never accept that this fiction is you because it isn't. Each court sets a verbal trap and unwary or unsure persons before the captain of that ship may walk right into an invitation to concede that you are, in fact, the Strawman they created, responsible in ways that are unnatural, inhuman, and illegal.

Ultimately when you walk into a court of law, you are being governed by the bylaws of a Corporation and not by your Constitution. There are courts that decide if a matter is Constitutional or Unconstitutional, but they are merely looking out of their legal domain and into ours, for we the people, are the only body or group that considers itself under the Constitution.

Any gathering in which you may be levied some sort of penalty for an act or omission of the same in which the gold-fringed flag is flying is attempting to use Maritime Law. How is this possible on dry land?

US Code, Title 18 B 7, as follows:

Admiralty Jurisdiction is applicable in the following locations:

1) the high seas
2) any American ship
3) any lands reserved or acquired for the use of the United States, and under the exclusive or concurrent jurisdiction thereof, or any place purchased or otherwise acquired by the United States by consent of the legislature of the state. In other words, mainland America.

This is as unconstitutional as it is possible to be and thoroughly illegal.

Forty-eight states have joined this critical project. If a state accepts this system, as have the above 11 so far, all counties are under Common Law jurisdiction. In order to get hold intellectually and spiritually of what that means, remember that in the US, county sheriffs actually have more power than the President. Our country was set up this way as a safeguard and we need it now more than ever.

However, this vital information has been kept from the US citizenry for long enough that it is in danger of being forgotten despite it being the true law of the land.

From one of the projects putting this together (link at the end):

DUTY OF THE "COMMON LAW" GRAND JURY

- If anyone's unalienable rights have been violated, or removed, without a legal sentence of their peers, from their lands, home, liberties or lawful right, we [the twenty-five] shall straightway restore them. And if a dispute shall arise concerning this matter it shall be settled according to the judgment of the twenty-five Grand Jurors, the sureties of the peace.

MAGNA CARTA, JUNE 15, A.D. 1215, 52. (2)

And:

Power of the Grand Jury - In a stunning 6 to 3 decision Justice Antonin Scalia, writing for the majority, confirmed that the American grand jury is neither part of the judicial, executive nor legislative branches of government, but instead belongs to the people. It is in effect a fourth branch of government "governed" and administered to directly by and on behalf of the American people, and its authority emanates from the Bill of Rights, see United States -v- Williams (3)

The questions are then, why is maritime law a bad thing and what can a common law court do about it? Neither I nor my children nor anyone I know has agreed to become this 'corporate strawman' and abide by the Uniform Commercial Code, based on Roman Canon Law, of Maritime Law.

Trading me on the New York Stock Exchange would suggest that I am owned, that I am property. In fact, that is not the case. I am a natural human being and so are you. My actions as I go through this life will not be judged and dictated by the Universal Commercial Code, for I am not cargo.

I am a natural human. The reality, the law of the land, the spiritual truth, is just under the surface. If, in fact, 48 US sovereign states elect to establish these Grand Juries, then the very nature of the classification of what a misdeed is will change drastically. Much of our freedom will be restored as a matter of course. We can expect massive crackdowns.

However, it remains that, true to the original intent of the original Bill of Rights, the states are absolutely sovereign. It was intended to be that way and it will be that way again.
