What Do I Want?

By Anna Von Reitz

I wish for the return of all our assets, all our property, and for all our records to be corrected to reflect our actual political status.

I wish for every American to be told the truth and given a choice whether they want to live as Americans or as Brits and I want their choice to be honored. Once that decision is made, I wish for an absolute, complete, and utter end of all further British attempts to interfere with, control, undermine, or secure any unjust enrichment from America ever again. 

I wish for the Roman Catholic Church to reform itself voluntarily and repent from what it has done in this country and repent the Breach of Trust it has committed against Americans for almost two centuries. 

I wish to see the Roman Catholic Church get back to being a Church and actually providing unselfish service to humanity instead of allowing criminals and moral reprobates to profit themselves while using the Church as a store front for their unsavory activities. 

I wish for the return of all our intellectual property that has been purloined by both the British Government and the Roman Catholic Church, including our copyrights and patents and trademarks and certificates and all stocks and bonds and contracts related to us, back to our control. 

I wish for an apology to and a release of all of the American prisoners who have been jailed and railroaded and incarcerated and prosecuted under false premises and contrived, deliberately false legal presumptions.  I especially wish for the speedy release of all political prisoners and all those accused of victimless white collar crimes and "thought" crimes. 

I wish for all my employees whether British citizens or Americans to remember that they are in fact employees owing me good faith service at all times and in all respects. I wish them to remember that fact with regard to the service they owe to all other Americans as well.  

I wish for all middlemen including bankers and politicians and attorneys who have betrayed and plundered the National Trust of the American People to voluntarily vacate their positions.  Those who have acted in ignorance, I wish them to be re-educated and re-assimilated. Those who are unrepentant criminals need to be prosecuted. 

I wish for all quasi-military positions including the "U.S. Attorney General" to be redirected to assist us in reclaiming and restoring our rightful government or otherwise be removed from our shores. 

I wish for a complete financial audit of all budgets, of all Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports, of all associated Annual Reports, of all Public Trusts, of all Public Pension Funds, of all internally and externally Managed Accounts so as to validate the current status of this country's actual wealth and debt position and to expedite prosecution of those responsible for the massive embezzlement that has occurred here. 

I wish for the nullification of all the bogus "MASTER FORM LINE OF CREDIT DEEDS OF TRUST" taken out by Wells Fargo, Bank of America, and other banks against American land assets, in which they pretend to have an interest in our land in exchange for their digits entered in a ledger ---- and the end of all such claims and practices resulting in Odious Debt. 

I wish for the recognition and release of all Odious Debt worldwide. 

I wish for the return of all American Historic Trust funds and their repatriation to our people and our Sovereign States, which are all trusts which have been commandeered by these dishonest banks, purloined and held under various false and weak-minded excuses including purported "money laundering" related to funds that haven't seen a single transaction in a hundred years --- and an end to all the vacuous criminality on display at the World Bank, IBRD, BIS, IMF, etc.

I wish for the return of all our assets which are naturally and reasonably ours and their return to our control without any further obfuscation or argument, and those assets are to include all American gold confiscated under color of law by the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Administration and other assets of ours currently held in the so-called Global Debt Facility. 

I wish for the return of our portion of those "Life Force Value Annuities" awarded as credit and received under known conditions of fraud by Prince Philip as part of the settlement of the bankruptcy of CANADA. 

I wish for our portion of the Economic Security Fund and of the Exchange Stabilization Fund to be returned to us. 

I wish for the dissolution of all "titles" and land trusts being held with respect to any portion of our land and soil and the return of these parcels free and clear to the people and to the sovereign States they rightfully belong to. 

I wish for the liquidation of all corporations which have been operated as crime syndicates. 

I wish for restitution for all the bogus foreclosures and asset confiscations that have been carried out against private property belonging to Americans under color of law, such restitution to include treble damages, return of the property seized whenever possible, all time lost, all court expenses, and a million dollars penalty for each instance to make up for grief, suffering, and unconscionable assault to the extent possible --- all directly payable to the living people who are the actual victims of these crimes.  

I wish for the rapid reform of all of the Law Schools and the Universities and the Medical Schools in receipt of public funds, grants, or aid of any kind to teach the actual Public Law of this country and to honor it in thought, word, and deed ---- or tenure be damned. 

I wish for the orderly reform and auditing of all public utility corporations and cooperatives and particularly the liquidation of the North American Water and Power Alliance, all so-called Water and Soil Districts, all other attempts to seize upon and mismanage public assets for private gain and an end to ruthless oppressive racketeering against the people to whom all these resources actually belong.

I wish for an auditing of all public employee pension funds and so called "pension associations" which have been used as slush funds for predatory investment activities throughout the United States and which are subject to seizure and restructuring. 

I wish that this should be done with no harm to any public employee, retired or currently working. 

I wish for the political parties and their "elections" to be fully disclosed for what they are and no longer deliberately confused with public elections. 

I wish for an end of criminality including an end to all attempts seeking to justify adhesion contracts. 

I wish for full and official recognition of the Operation of Law and the return of our Delegated Powers to our sovereign States and People. 

I wish for the cessation of all attempts to form commercial corporations named after "the United States" or any form of "United States of America" or any "Republic" so as to attempt another round of the same old fraud. 

I wish for every country on Earth, including Scotland, England, and France to cease and desist all infringement against our copyrights and our Good Name and I do hold these governments accountable for all their wrong-doing in this regard both past and present. 

I wish for the "United Nations" Corporation and the United Nations Organization and all related franchises and officials to cease and desist all effort to claim hegemony against our rightful national government based on the actions of the Territorial United States Congress or the Municipal United States Congress at any time now or in the past. We did not vacate our states nor did we grant any power or authority related to our state offices to the United Nations. 

I wish for the worldwide recognition of the fact that these pikers have been trading upon assets that they have controlled by piracy and fraud, to the extent that they have possessed or controlled them at all, and have been secretively, unconscionably profiting themselves by borrowing money and credit against assets that do not now and never have belonged to them.  This is known as "Odious Debt" and I wish for all of it to be discharged and all the property and assets that have been conscripted and/or pirated to be returned to the living people and sovereign States they belong to without further obfuscation or delay.  

I wish for the "U.S." military services to be forthrightly and immediately converted to the "American" military services,  and for anyone who disagrees with that change to be released from any further obligation to serve in any branch of service.  Any such person who feels that their allegiance to the "U.S." is greater than their allegiance to America, is welcome be discharged whether officer or NCO, whether vested in the military retirement system or not, without dishonor and without penalty.  Anyone who stays under false pretenses and who expresses any actual and material disloyalty to America after being granted the opportunity to leave our service, I wish all such persons to be subject to court martial and immediate involuntary discharge. 

I wish for all military, agency, and so-called "counter intelligence" and controlled opposition operations addressed against the American people and our sovereign States by our employees to end now and never resume.  If this requires the wholesale disbanding and liquidation of the FBI, CIA, DIA, FEMA, BATF, DOJ, and other unauthorized agencies that is just fine and in line with my wish that the government in all respects be subject to the people of this country and not allowed to run amok foisting off public policies and agency regulations as Public Law. 

I wish for all the leaders worldwide who are responsible for this stinking Mess to have a "Come to Jesus" moment regardless of what their religion is and realize that the bulk of the misery that billions of innocent people have suffered is all unnecessary and is more or less directly attributable to their own dishonesty and/or incompetence. 

I wish for all those world leaders and politicians who can't stand the heat or grasp the fundamentals of the situation we are all facing --- Americans and everyone else, too --- to step down.  Leave.  Admit that you are either a skunk or an incompetent or both, and go.  Leave the space open for people who do know what it going on and who do care for their countries and for the world and who will at least try to do the right thing for everyone concerned instead of dithering and snarking and standing around looking like a combination of guilty-stupid-and-helpless. 

I wish for an end to ignorance about our government, how it was formed, why it was formed, how it is structured and how it is supposed to work.  For that I wish a vast national education effort to be made to teach actual American History instead of distorted pablum.  Our government requires an intelligent and well-educated electorate operating at top speed and dealing with a full deck of verifiable facts and I wish to see that result enabled as quickly as possible.   

I wish for all the media corporations foreign and domestic to be compelled to obey our Public Law and respect our right to Free Speech.  Any media corporation that wants to come to America and trash Americans using American airwaves to do it needs to be taxed out of business on our shores and I wish it to be so, sooner than later. 

I wish for all "National" Football League owners and members and players to remember what "nation" they are part of and stop disrespecting the American flag and I wish for any player using our stadiums to be given the option of playing or not. 

I wish for the deplorable role of the Democratic Party and of political parties in general in debasing, misleading, preying upon, and betraying the interests of the American People to be fully recognized and I wish for their strict regulation along with all other lobbyists --- because that's what political parties are: organized lobbies. 

I wish for all of this to be done as quickly, as peacefully, and with as much honesty as possible, with respect and compassion and the benefit of a doubt extended, without any emphasis on blame, and instead with an emphasis on making correction and re-building this country and this world into a far better place for everyone to live. 

I wish for everyone to be provided with the actual facts and for everyone to work with one accord to clean up this Mess.  

That's what I wish for, so everyone can stop asking.

Uh, Duh.... Red Alert....Uh....

By Anna Von Reitz

Yes, people, you read it here first.

The British Government has been colluding with traitorous and/or clueless American politicians for decades to undermine our country --- and they have been doing it one baby at a time.

They have been falsifying our political status records and seeking to "genocide" all Americans on paper.

You are not recorded as an American baby. You are registered as a British "citizen" --- a subject of the Queen.

And if you don't wake to hell up and take action and I mean --- really TAKE ACTION NOW -- you won't have a country left. You will lose it all, everything your forefathers fought for.

We will be nothing but a backwater British Territory.

And you won't have a leg to stand on because you stood there like a dumb cow and didn't do anything about it even after you were told what was going on and how to correct the records.

I repeat.... I repeat....I repeat....

Go to my website www.annavonreitz.com and scroll down to Article 928 and use the examples given there to lay claim to your Good Name and birthright political status.

And then, get busy! Start your county jural assembly and get involved in your State Jural Assembly and do it ASAP!

There Isn't "A" Republic. Period.

By Anna Von Reitz

There isn't "a" Republic and there never has been.

There is a Federation of fifty (50) State Republics.

Anyone who talks about "a" Republic is talking about a foreign, mostly French-sponsored commercial corporation.

And they are trying to deceive you, once again, into mistaking their commercial corporation for your lawful government.

Explain that there are fifty "republican states" and never a single "Republic". And if they won't listen and won't stop spreading garbage and deceit, denounce them as traitors, because that is what they are.

HOW Stupid Are We?

By Anna Von Reitz

After being taken in by British fraudsters for 150 years I don't think I can make an argument for American intelligence overall.    

I can make an argument for American honesty --- honesty that couldn't imagine the depths of depravity, bad faith, selfishness, and greed that our British "Allies" have displayed. 

I can make an argument for the open, trusting nature of Americans. 

I can make an argument for American generosity and bravery.  

But the Devil will take advantage of your virtues just as quick as he will take advantage of your vices, so I guess this is part of the lesson to be learned. 

Anyway, here we are after a hundred and fifty years of being screwed senseless by the Brits and the now-repentant Catholic Church.  

We now know -- for sure -- that our political status records have been deliberately falsified to identify us as British citizens and subjects of the Queen. 

We know that this fraud began in earnest under the treasonous administration of Franklin Delano Roosevelt and that every American baby's political status has been faked since the 1930's. 

This gigantic lie and attempted genocide-on-paper stands as one of the worst crimes in recorded history, a bunko operation of staggering proportions---- one that has adversely impacted the entire world.   

And we still have Americans standing around scratching their butts and arguing about whether or not they have to respond and how they should respond if they do.

Let's see.....your identity has been stolen.  Your credit has been stolen. Your land has been stolen.  You have been mis-identified as a British Citizen.  And you've been left to pay off trillions of dollars of THEIR debt. 

Can I suggest that, yes, you do have to do something about it?  

Otherwise, the rest of the world will assume that you secretly enjoy getting screwed sideways and robbed and left for dead. 

And if you like it, well, hey.... who is to say otherwise? 

I have just been informed that there are arguments raging through the National Assembly groups and even among members of the Michigan General Jural Assembly about doing or not doing the paperwork to reclaim your birthright political status.  

It seems that some people think it's okay for British citizens to take part in American Jural Assemblies.  Some people think its not necessary to declare your political status as an American. 

This, even after the whole situation has been blown open for all to see, even after they have been told --- "Hey, the record says you are a British citizen."

I am here to tell you that it's not okay for Brits to serve on an American Jural Assembly.  

If you find anyone in your Jural Assembly who hasn't recorded their political status, they are to do so immediately, and if they refuse they are to be kicked out without further ceremony.   

I am here to tell you that not only can you get into trouble -- as a British citizen--- for taking part in an American Jural Assembly, but the validity of the actions of  your Assemblies can be tainted and called into question if you allow any such wishy-washy.  

Its time to pledge your lives, your fortunes and your sacred honor--- or stay home and squat as a British tenant on your own land. 

Every single member of your Jural Assembly needs to do the paperwork to reclaim their Good Name and political birthright and if they don't, they have no business being involved.

A Further Note About Copyrights

By Anna Von Reitz

Like most everything else, there are private copyrights and public copyrights, copyrights that apply to businesses, and copyrights issued as patents.

The Continental Congress established the patent copyright of the name The United States of America --- the unincorporated version --- on September 9, 1776. This is the name of the Federation of the sovereign States of the Union.

The Federation is not a sovereign entity in and of itself, but it acts as a sovereign government in behalf of the States. It is a Holding Company held under sovereign patent.

The Federation naturally operates in the realm of international trade, but can operate just as well in the realm of international commerce.

So in addition to the patent copyright issued in 1776, the unincorporated Federation of States doing business as The United States of America holds an American Common Law Copyright under the Copyright Act of 1790. Both.

This makes it inexcusable for other countries like Scotland and France to mess around issuing charters to corporations infringing on our name, and it also makes it inexcusable for Keith Livingway and "the State of Delaware" and the Roman Catholic Church to infringe on it so as to promote confusion and identity theft and bogus commercial claims.

More Blind Staggers.....

By Anna Von Reitz

Today, I get a message from a reader asking about this: 

https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/addressing-commander-chief-united-states-military-thomas-goudey/?published=t 

Yes, yet more "Blind Staggers" from people who are half-asleep and unaware of the past and unable, therefore, to deal with the present or chart the future. 

Here's my reply to this latest bit of nonsense from "reign of heaven" and Keith Livingway and his Band of Merry Men:  

We have been at peace since 1865 and we already have three Presidential Declarations of Peace guaranteeing our peace.  

The problem has been renegade employees failing to "recognize" us and failing to do their duty, and instead seeking to line their own pockets and trying to rob us of our birthrights ---both material and immaterial birthrights.   

We own the copyright to the name "The United States of America" --- unincorporated version -- under the 1790 Copyright Act. 

Anyone who doesn't know this already and who is suing President Trump for "peace" at this late date obviously doesn't have a clue and needs to be cut short with all their claims and actions.  

I have said it before and I say it again --- Keith Livingway is basing all his claims on false assumptions and information.  He is acting as a pirate stealing from other pirates who came before him and trying to make that into a valid claim to own our country.  

It's complete utter whackjob insanity and against the actual law on every continent.  The Maxim of Law is--- "Possession of property by pirates does not change ownership." 

The name "The United States of America" as it applies to any entity public or private, incorporated or unincorporated, belongs to us and has belonged to us since September 9, 1776 and no amount of commercial fraud, infringement, or deceit can change that. 

Run like an antelope away from anything to do with Keith Livingway and his groupees.  They may or may not have good intentions,  but they don't know the history and don't have a leg to stand on either lawfully or legally.  

And given the crazy things they have alleged and done in the past, and the fact that they are trying to "out-pirate pirates" it is not beyond the realm of possible that they will get themselves and their followers in real trouble.  

Piracy done in ignorance is still piracy, after all, and infringement against the copyright of a sovereign government is infringement of a very, very serious kind.  If you can get a $250,000 fine for copying a movie, imagine what can happen when you infringe on the copyrighted name of a sovereign nation?  

Red flag, folks.  And yes, these are the same numbnutz play actors who issued a "warrant" for my arrest and made up all sorts of bogus claims about me.  This should indicate again how irresponsible and basically out of touch they are.  

Anyone who wants to know about the three (3) Presidential Declarations of Peace with respect to the land and soil jurisdiction States and the People of this country, they are fully detailed with dates and references in our book, "You Know Something is Wrong When.....an American Affidavit of Probable Cause" ---- along with a lot of other useful information.  

When I was in college there were a lot of weird religious cults making the rounds.  Remember Reverend Moon?  And Eckankar?  And the Church of Slack?  Without an exception, the kids who were susceptible to this nonsense were the ones who didn't know their own scriptures or didn't know anything (or bother to find out) about the scriptures of others. 

It's the same thing with this situation now. 

We have all these gurus who know part of the story, like Hartford Van Dyke, who knows all about Federal Code, and we have all those with "deeply held beliefs" ---- like Keith Livingway---- who are simply ignorant of law and history and wrong. 

These people who have only part of the story or only their own "beliefs" to go on, are dangerous no matter what their intentions are, because they mislead others and get people to do things that are in fact harmful. 

This whole situation is outrageous enough all on its own.  We don't need to embellish it with any fantasy claims like Keith or add to the confusion by focusing on foreign governments and their affairs.  And we don't need any more good people going to jail because they followed Pied Pipers. 

Nobody who has followed my advice has gotten in trouble because of it. 

The Colorado Nine trespassed against the Federales in spite of my most earnest appeals and efforts to warn them.  

Destry Payne talked to me for months and had every opportunity to do his paperwork --- and didn't. 

People --- even my friends --- make wrong choices, don't do their homework, get confused, and suffer when they follow bad leaders. It doesn't matter if the Pied Piper is a Federal Agent or an ignorant Patriot. Either one is just as bad, and just as much to be avoided.

Instruction on the Twelfth Sunday After Pentecost

Rev. Fr. Leonard Goffine's
The Church's Year

The Introit of the Mass is the prayer of a troubled soul, entreating God for assistance against its enemies:

INTROIT Incline unto my aid, O God: O Lord, make haste to help me: let my enemies be confounded and ashamed, who seek my soul. Let them be turned backward and blush for shame, who desire evils to me. (Ps. LXIX) Glory be to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

COLLECT Almighty and merciful God, of whose gift it cometh that the faithful do Thee homage with due and laudable service: grant, we beseech Thee, that we may run without stumbling to the attainment of Thy promises. Through our Lord Jesus Christ Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee, in the Unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end, Amen.

EPISTLE (II Cor. III. 4-9.) Brethren, such confidence we have through Christ towards God: not that we are sufficient to think any thing of ourselves, as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God, who also hath made us fit ministers of the New Testament, not in the letter, but in the spirit: for the letter killeth: but the spirit quickeneth. Now if the ministration of death, engraven with letters upon stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses, for the glory of his countenance, which is made void: how shall not the ministration of the Spirit be rather in glory? For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more the ministration of justice aboundeth in glory.

EXPLANATION St. Paul speaks in the epistle, from which this extract is taken, of the conversion of the Corinthians, which he accomplished not by his own ability, but with the help of God, who made him a minister of the New Testament, a teacher of the true religion of Christ. The New Testament by the grace of the Holy Ghost recalls the sinner from the death of sin, reconciles him to God, and thus enlivens and makes him pleasing to God; whereas the letter of the Old Law, which contains more eternal ceremonies and fewer commandments, changes not the man, but rather destroys him, that is, threatens with death the transgressor of the law instead of freeing him from sin and reconciling him to God, thus permitting him to die the eternal death. St. Paul preached the true religion of Christ, which vivifies, justifies, and sanctifies man. If the ministry of Moses was so glorified by God, that his countenance shone, when he returned from Mount Sinai, where God gave him the law, how much more dignified and glorious must be the ministry of the New Law. Learn from this to esteem the office of preaching, and be humble like St. Paul, who trusted not in himself but in God, to whom he ascribed all honor.

GOSPEL (Luke X. 23-37.) At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: Blessed are the eyes that see the things which you see. For I say to you that many prophets and kings have desired to see the things that you see, and have not seen them; and to hear the things that you hear, and have not heard them. And behold a certain lawyer stood up, tempting him, and saying: Master, what must I do to possess eternal life? But he said to him: What is written in the law? how readest thou? He answering, said: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself. And he said to him: Thou hast answered rightly: this do, and thou shalt live. But he, willing to justify himself, said to Jesus: And who is my neighbor? And Jesus answering, said: A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, who also stripped him, and having wounded him, went away; leaving him half dead. And it chanced that a certain priest went down the same way, and seeing him, passed by. In like manner also a Levite, when he was near the place and saw him, passed by. But a certain Samaritan, being on his journey, came near him: and seeing him, was moved with compassion. And going up to him, bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine; and setting him upon his own beast, brought him to an inn, and took care of him: and the next day he took out two pence, and gave to the host, and said: Take care of him, and whatsoever, thou shalt spend over and above, I, at my return, will repay thee. Which of these three, in thy opinion, was neighbor to him that fell among robbers? But he said: He that showed mercy to him. And Jesus said to him: Go, and do thou in like manner.

Why does Christ call His disciples blessed?

Because they had the happiness which so many patriarchs and prophets had desired in vain, namely: of seeing Him and hearing His teaching. Though we have not the happiness to see Jesus and hear Him, nevertheless we are not less blessed than the apostles, since Christ pronounces those blessed who do not see and yet believe. (John XX. 29.)

What, besides faith, is necessary for salvation?

That we love God and our neighbor, for in these two commandments consists the whole law. (Matt. XXII. 40.)

Who is our neighbor?¹

Every man, be he an acquaintance or a stranger, poor or rich, of our faith or of another; for the Samaritan did not ask the one who had fallen among robbers: Who and whence are you? but considered him his neighbor, and proved himself as such by his prompt assistance.

How should we love our neighbor?

As we love ourselves, that is, we should wish him everything good, and when in necessity do to him as we would wish others to do to us, and, on the contrary, not wish nor do to him anything that we do not wish to be done to ourselves. In this way the Samaritan loved his neighbor, and in this he was far superior to the priest and the Levite.

How can we especially practice love for our neighbor?

By the spiritual and corporal works of mercy. [See instruction for the Seventh Sunday after Pentecost.] Besides which we must rejoice at the spiritual and corporal graces of our neighbor, which God communicates to him; we must grieve for his misfortunes, and, according to the example of St. Paul, (I Cor. I. 4.) have compassion for him; we must bear with the faults of our neighbor, as St. Paul again admonishes us: Bear ye one another's burdens, and so you shall fulfil the law of Christ. (Gal. VI. 2.)

Why should we love our neighbor?

We should love him because God commands it; but there are also other reasons which should induce us to do so. We are not only according to nature brothers and sisters in Adam, but also according to grace, in Christ, and we would have to be ashamed before animals, if we would allow ourselves to be surpassed in the love which they bear one to another; (Ecclus, XIII. 19.) all our neighbors are the image and likeness of God, bought by the blood of Jesus, and are adopted children, called to heaven, as we are; the example of Christ, who loved us, when we were yet His enemies, (Rom. V. 10.) and gave Himself for us unto death, ought to incite us to love them. But can we be His disciples, if we do not follow Him, and if we do not bear in us the mark of His disciples, i. e. the love of our neighbor? (John XIII. 35.). Finally, the necessity of the love for our neighbor ought to compel us, as it were, to it; for without it, we cannot be saved. He that loveth not, says St. John, abideth in death, (I John III. 14.) and he that loveth not his brother, whom he seeth, how can he love God whom he seeth not? (I John IV. 20.) because he transgresses one of the greatest commandments of God, and does not fulfil the law. (Rom. XIII, 10.)

What is necessary to make the love of our neighbor meritorious?

It must tend to God, that is, we must love our neighbor only in and for God, because God commands it, and it is pleasing to Him. For to love our neighbor on account of a natural inclination, or self-interest, or some other still less honorable reason, is only a natural, animal love, in no wise different from the love of the heathens; for the heathens also love and salute those who love and salute them in turn. (Matt. V. 46.)

PETITION. O my God, Father of mercy! give me a loving and compassionate heart, which will continually impel me to do good to my neighbor for Thy sake, so that I may merit the same from Thy mercy.

What is understood from this day's gospel in a higher and more spiritual sense?

According to the interpretation of the Fathers, our father Adam, and hence the whole human race is to be understood by the one who had fallen among robbers. The human race, which through the disobedience of Adam fell into the power of Satan and his angels, was robbed of original justice and the grace of God, and moreover, was wounded and weakened in all the powers of the soul by evil concupiscence. The priest and The Levite who represent the Old Law, would not and could not repair this misfortune; but Christ, the true Samaritan, embraced the interests of the wounded man, inasmuch as He poured the oil of His grace, and the wine of His blood into the wounds of man's soul, and thus healed him, and inasmuch as He led him by baptism into the inn of His Church, and there entrusted him to His priests for further care and nursing. Thank Christ, the good Samaritan, for this great love and care for you, and endeavor to make good use of His blessings by your cooperation.

INSTRUCTION ON THE MOST HOLY SACRAMENT OF
EXTREME UNCTIONHe bound up his wounds pouring in oil and wine. (Luke X. 34.)

The conduct of the Samaritan in regard to the wounded man may be viewed as a figure of the holy Sacrament of Extreme Unction, in which Christ, the true Samaritan, by means of the holy oil and the prayer of the priest, His representative, dispenses His grace to the sick for the welfare of the soul and often of the body, provided the sick place no obstacle in His way.

Is Extreme Unction a Sacrament?

Yes; because it was instituted by Christ, and by it grace is conveyed to the sick through an outward sign.

Did Christ institute this Sacrament?

He did, for He sent His disciples to anoint the sick with oil and heal them, as the Evangelist writes: Going forth they preached that men should do penance: and they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them. (Mark VI. 12,13.) We must believe that this unction was not invented by the apostles, but ordained by the Lord. This is confirmed by the Council of Trent, which says: (Sess. XIV. C. I.) "This sacred Unction of the sick was instituted by Christ our Lord, as indicated by St. Mark, but recommended to the faithful and promulgated by the Apostle St. James, a relative of our Lord." "Is any man," he says, "sick among you? let him bring in the priests of the Church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: and the prayer of faith shall save the sick man: and the Lord shall raise him up: and if he be in sins, they shall be forgiven. (James V. 14,15.) St. James could not have said this, if he had not known the institution and command of Christ: to it apostolic and uninterrupted tradition also gives testimony.

What is the external sign of this Sacrament?

The anointing with holy oil, which is blessed by the bishop on Holy Thursday, and the prayer of the priest.

What graces does this Sacrament produce in the sick man?

The Catechism of the Council of Trent enumerates the following: first, it remits sins, especially venial sins. Its primary object is not to remit mortal sin. For this the Sacrament of penance was instituted, as was that of baptism for the remission of original sin; secondly, it removes the languor and infirmity entailed by sin, with all other inconveniences. The time most seasonable for the application of this cure is, when we are visited by some severe malady, which threatens to prove fatal; for nature dreads no earthly visitation so much as death; and this dread is considerably augmented by the recollection of our past sins, particularly if the mind is harrowed by the poignant reproaches of conscience; for it is written: "They shall come with fear at the thought of their sins, and their iniquities shall stand against them to convict them." A source of alarm still more distressing is the awful reflection, that, in a few moments, we shall stand before the judgment-seat of God, whose justice will award that sentence, which our lives have deserved. The terror inspired by these considerations frequently agitates the soul with the most awful apprehensions; and to calm this terror nothing can be so efficacious as the Sacrament of Extreme Unction. It quiets our fear, illumines the gloom in which the soul is enveloped, fills it with pious and holy joy, and enables us to await with cheerfulness the coming of the Lord; thirdly, it fortifies us against the violent assaults of Satan. The enemy of mankind never ceases to seek our ruin: and if it be possible to deprive us of all hope of mercy, he more than ever increases his efforts, when he sees us approach our last end. This Sacrament, therefore, enables the recipient to fight resolutely and successfully against him; fourthly, it effects the recovery of health, if advantageous to the sick person.

What intentions must the sick man have, in order to gain these graces?

Since the Sacraments work the more powerfully the better the preparation made by those who receive them, and since by this Sacrament those sins are remitted which we have forgotten, or have not sufficiently known, the sick man should, therefore, receive beforehand, if it be possible, the holy Sacrament of Penance and the blessed Eucharist; or if this cannot be done, he should make an act of perfect contrition, and have the wish to confess if possible. He should, therefore, not defer the reception of this Sacrament to the last moment, when the violence of sickness has already taken away the use of his reason and senses, but he should ask for this Sacrament whilst yet enjoying the use of reason, so that he may receive it with devotion and salutary result.

Is this Sacrament necessary for salvation?

No; yet we should not neglect in case of sickness to partake of the excellent fruits of this Sacrament since the Council of Trent teaches: "To despise so great a Sacrament would indeed be a great sin, an insult to the Holy Ghost." (Sess. XIV. C. 3.)

Can we receive this Sacrament more than once?

We can receive it as often as we are in danger of death by sickness; but we must bear in mind that we can be anointed only once in the same sickness.

Why is this Sacrament called Extreme Unction?

Because among all the Sacraments which our Lord and Saviour ordained in His Church, this one is the last we are to receive. But from this it does not follow, as so many believe that one who receives this Sacrament must die soon, but it will rather become a means of salvation for their souls, and if it be for their eternal welfare, will also restore their bodily health.

What does the priest do when he enters the house of the sick person?

He wishes peace to the house, and prays that God may send His angels to protect its inmates, that He may drive away the enemy, console the sick, strengthen and give him health.

Why does the priest sprinkle the sick person with holy water?

To remind him that he should implore of God the forgiveness of his sins, with tears of contrition, in order to dispel the influence of the evil spirit.

Why does the priest exhort those present to pray while he administers the Sacrament?

That God may grant through their prayers whatever may contribute to the welfare of the sick man's body and soul.

For what does the priest pray when he imposes his hands on the head of the sick person?

He begs that God, through the imposition of hands and by the intercession of all the saints, may take the sick person under His protection, and destroy the power of the devil, who attacks one particularly in the hour of death.

What does the priest say at the anointing with oil?

He begs that God, through this unction and through His gracious mercy, may forgive the sick person all the sins which he has committed with his five senses. At the same time the sick person should, in a spirit of humility and with a repentant and contrite heart, implore of God the forgiveness of all his sins.

Why does the priest present the sick person a crucifix to kiss?

To remind him that, like Jesus, he should suffer with patience, and place his whole confidence in the infinite merits of the Crucified, and be willing to suffer and die for love of Him. For this reason the crucifix ought to be presented often to the dying person.

What should the sick person do after he has received the Sacrament of Extreme Unction?

He should use all his remaining strength to thank God sincerely for the benefit he has received, commend himself to the wounds and the blood of Jesus, and meditate with quiet recollection on death and eternity.

How consoling does our holy Catholic Church appear in the continual use of this Sacrament! Having, like a tender mother, received man by holy Baptism under her maternal care; by holy Confirmation given him the necessary weapons against sin, heresy, and infidelity; by the holy Sacrament of Penance purified him from stains and sins; and by the blessed Eucharist nourished him with the bread of life, enriched him with virtues, and secured him against falling, she does not desert him even in the last, all-important moment of death. In that dangerous hour when the dying person, forsaken by all, often by his most intimate friends, or looked upon with fear, lies on his bed of pain, when behind him time ceases and before him a certain, though unknown eternity opens itself, when Satan brings all his resources into play, in order to ruin his soul, and the thought of the coming judgment makes the heart tremble, - in this terrible hour the faithful mother, the Catholic Church, does not abandon him; she sends the priest, her servant, like a consoling angel to his couch, to encourage the sufferer and strengthen the fearful with the divine word, to cleanse the sinner and reconcile him with God by the Sacrament of Penance, to fortify the weak and nourish him with the bread of life, to strengthen the combatant with the holy oil, thus providing him with all the means of grace which Jesus obtained for His Church, to conduct his soul before the face of the eternal Judge, there to find grace and mercy.

Considering this, dear Christian, should you not feel happy to be a member of this Church, should you not thank God continually, and adhere faithfully to a Church, in which it is indeed not so pleasant to live, as in the bosom of irreligion, but in which it is good to die!

Communist Goals in the U.S. Are we running out of road?

I worked with Bill Baker in the 1968 political campaign in North Dakota for a couple of years, and I can tell you he has always paid attention to the freedom movement in America.
Paul Stramer

This is a long article, but the information it contains is extremely important information that every American should know. Please take the time to read it and pass it on to others.

Bill Baker has a B.S. degree in Police Administration from Michigan State University and at one time was a security investigator for a U.S. defense contractor.  He has been a student of international communism and those forces working to destroy our national sovereignty and make the U.S. part of a one world government for over 50 years. His article was published in the Elkhart Truth newspaper in 1992.

Below his article is a list of communist goals that were published in W. Cleon Skousen's book The Naked Communist. W. Cleon Skousen has a law degree, was an FBI special agent and chief of police of Salt Lake City.

NATION SHOWS COMMUNISM'S OBJECTIVES BEING MET

Bill Baker

After somebody recently said to me that communism is dead, I began to wonder how many other people had bought into this latest big lie being promoted by our leftist (communist?) controlled press.

First, I would like to point out something from "Witness" by Whittaker Chambers, who was a former communist and government witness against Alger Hiss in 1949. In the book, Henry Luce of Time Publications was baffled by why so many of the most enlightened people were against Whittaker Chambers and pressing Luce to fire Chambers from Time.

Henry Luce said, "By any Marxian pattern of how classes behave, the upper class should be for you and the lower classes should be against you. How do you explain that?" In answering Luce's question, a European guest at the meeting who Chambers calls Smetana said to Luce: "You don’t understand the class structure of American society or you would not ask such a question. In the United States, the working class are Democrats, the middle class are Republicans and the upper class are Communists." This very revealing answer to Luce many years ago explains why so many wealthy and successful people in our business, entertainment industry and government are liberal leftist (communists?).

Secondly, I would like to point out a few goals and objectives of the international communist conspiracy when overthrowing an enemy nation. As you read these goals and objectives consider how many of these have been accomplished in our nation today. A few goals are:

A. Corrupt the morals of the young and get them away from religion by eliminating their belief in God. Make them superficial and destroy their ruggedness.

B. Get control of all means of publicity such as radio, TV and all print publications and use them to:

1. Get peoples mind off their government by focusing their attention on athletics, sexy books and plays, and other trivialities. This fits today s TV programming to a "T".

2. Divide the people into hostile groups by constantly harping on controversial matters of no great importance. Current civil rights and environmental problems are examples.

3. Destroy the people’s faith in their natural leaders by holding the matter up to contempt and ridicule; i.e., Vice President Dan Quayle.

4. Always preach true democracy, but seize power as fast and as ruthlessly as possible. Our nation was set up as a constitutional republic, not a democracy. There is a big difference between the two.

5. By encouraging government extravagance, destroy its credit, produce fear of inflation with rising prices and general discontent. How about the ever increasing national debt?

6. Foment unnecessary strikes in vital industries, encourage civil disorders, and foster lenient and soft attitude on the part of government toward such disorders. Have you seen any riots on TV lately?

7. By specious argument cause the breakdown of the old moral virtues, honesty, sobriety, continence, faith in the pledged word, ruggedness. Many years ago a man's word was worth something. Today lying is commonplace in government and in the private sector.

C. Enforce the registration of all firearms on some pretext, with a view to confiscating them and leaving the population helpless. There is a never-ending drive by many for more gun control laws. Washington D.C. has the most strict gun laws in the nation and the highest murder rate. Gun laws don't keep criminals from getting and using guns.

We may be a lot closer to losing our freedoms than we realize.

Below is the list of communist goals listed by W. Cleon Skousen in his book that was published 50 years ago in 1958.  When you read them consider how many goals have been met. 

1.   U. S acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.

2.   U. S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.

3.   Develop the illusion that total disarmament by the United States would be demonstration of moral        strength.

4.   Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliatilon and regardless of                  whether or  not items could be used for war.

5.   Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet Satellites.

6.   Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.

7.   Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the UN.

8.   Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in  1955 to              settle the Germany question by free elections under supervision of the UN.

9.   Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the U.S. has agreed to suspend test as long as        negotiations are in progress.

10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the UN.

11. Promote the UN as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up          as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (some communist leaders              believe the world can be taken over as easily by the UN as bu Moscow. Sometimes these two              centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.) 

12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.

13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.

14. Continue giving Russia access to the U. S. Patent office.

15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

16. Use the technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic american institutions by claiming their          activities violate civil rights.

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist          propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in                textbooks. 

18. Gain control of all student newspapers.

19. Use student riots to foment public protest against programs or organizations which are under                Communist attack.

20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, polic-making                  positions.

21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV and motion pictures.

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An                       American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and building,              substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms." 

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums.

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free                  speech and free press.

25. Break ddown cultural standards of morality by  promoting pornography and obscenity in books,          magazines, motion pictures, radio and TV.

26. Present homo-sexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and        emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."

28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates        the principle of "separation of church and state."

29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with                modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a world-wide basis.

30. Discredit the American founding fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern          for the "common man."

31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the              ground that it was only a minor part of"the big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history            since the Communists took over.

32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture---                      education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics,etc.

33. Eliminate all laws or procedudres which interfere with the operation of the Communist                        apparatus.

34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-Americn Activities.

35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

36. Infiltrate and gain control of ore unions.

37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.

38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral                problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrist can understand or treat.

39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive            control over those who oppose Communist goals.

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute                  prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American                  tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use "united force" to solve          economic, political ore social problems.

43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.

44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.

45. Repeal the Connally Reservation so the U.S. cannot prevent the World Court from sizing                      jurisdiction over domestic problems. Give the World court jurisdiction over nations and                        individuals alike.

I remind you again that the above Communist Goals were published in Skousen's book 50 years ago. Most of these goals have already been met. Communism is alive an well here in the U. S.

If you vote in U.S. elections you should vote for people who take their oath to support the U. S. Constitution seriously and do not violate it once elected. Unfortunately there are almost none currently in office that do this.

There are currently candidates running for office who call themselves  socialist or democratic socialist. Socialism is only a short step from communism. Remember that the USSR stands for Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.  We should also get out of the UN and get the UN out of the United States. Communist Alger Hiss wrote the charter to the UN.

Editors note:  Remember these goals were written in the late 50s and the 60s.

For All Those Who are Scared

By Anna Von Reitz

I am re-publishing this comment, because throughout America, there are wives and husbands and friends trying to come to grips with the actual situation our government is in and all the history that brought us here.  I know -- first hand -- how traumatic coming to grips with this information can be.  So I am going to share something from my own life and my hope that your families and loved ones, your best friends, will listen to you and stand by you --- even if they don't totally "get it" all and even if they are scared: 

One of my best friends attacked me early on and I mean, she flew at me like a Mama Bird protecting her nest and she practically screamed, "That can't be true!" and she was really, really mad. She didn't want to believe that "her" beloved country was in such a deep quagmire, that her government could be so messed up. 

But the rest of the story is that she was really very scared. 

Anger and fear are two emotions that go together like carrots and peas. 

She took the copy of my book that I offered and she stomped away. I honestly didn't know if I would ever see her or be able to talk to her again. 

It was months before I heard from her. 

Thankfully, she may not have understood it all or believed it all, but she caught enough of it to know that "something was wrong" and she had enough faith in me to come back and say that she loved me and believed me even if she didn't get it all. 

There are moments in life when someone just knocks you flat. You just shake your head and feel so humbled. 

My friend is a Great-Grandma like I am. She is not the same kind of person I am. Not intellectual. Not academic. She's "just" a really good woman--- better than I am. Devoted to her family and her country and as kind and compassionate as anyone could ever be, always thinking about and helping others---- not in the airy-fairy realms of international intrigues and politics and commercial law --- but day by day and close to home. 

Somehow, through the years of our friendship, I passed the test. 

And I am grateful. And I am aware that not everyone gets this happy ending. Many relationships have been destroyed and never mended because of this information. Families have been destroyed. Marriages and friendships ended. I was just lucky and blessed that somehow, enough water had passed over our bridges so that my best friend no longer had to "understand" it all. She could just hold my hand.

I hope tonight that you are not feeling alone and not facing a crossroads in one of your relationships because you now know the truth.  I hope that your friends and family, your wives and husbands, will catch fire and grasp the importance of what you are doing and why ---- and even if they don't and can't quite get it, I hope and pray that they will stand by you anyway, just because you are you, and they know you are a good person.
