Second Comment on Michigan General Jural Assembly


By Anna Von Reitz

I have been asked for an opinion regarding whether or not MGJA is trustworthy, questionable, or untrustworthy.  I guess the answer would have to be "questionable".  Here is what I replied: 

Wish I knew the answer--- for sure; but, what I can tell you is that they, the Michigan General Jural Assembly, got a large part of it exactly right, and two parts of it disastrously (and suspiciously) wrong. 

Robert Gilman was associated with MacArthur's Staff and was told to do this (organize the Michigan General Jural Assembly) -- so we know the directive to do it came from high up the military chain of command at that time.  He, Robert, admitted that to me first-hand. 

The two parts of it that they've got wrong are: 

(1) Allowing people to retain US Citizenship while claiming to act as "We, the People".   The term "People" means Lawful Persons standing on the international land jurisdiction of their country --- in our case, that means the States of the Union.  The States then each further restrict the definition of who can act as "People" of that State by requiring unique allegiance to that State----none of the actual States allow Dual Citizenship. 

This information is available through State archives, but is also made evident in the Constitutions via the prohibitions against the States operating as States of States.  

All US Citizens, whether United States Citizens or Citizens of the United States, operate as Legal Persons, not Lawful Persons (not People) --- which is strike one against them being able to operate as one of "We, the People" and against their assemblies being able to operate as State Assemblies, either.   You have to ditch any and all forms of "US Citizenship" to be able to function as one of the People and run the State Government. 

Virtually  all of them have had both Territorial and Municipal citizenship "conferred" upon them albeit without their knowledge or consent, and are thus Dual Citizens already --- unable to meet the requirement and give singular allegiance to their State until and unless they thoroughly rebut both Territorial and Municipal citizenship.

There seems to be honest confusion on the part of MGJA members between "these United States" and "those United States".

When Americans say that they are 'United States citizens' they mean that they are citizens of one of the republican soil jurisdiction states that are members of The United States, our union of republican states.  They don't mean to imply that they are working for the Territorial United States as United States Citizens, nor do they mean to imply that they are Citizens of the United States ---- but obviously, when Americans use this phrase "US citizen" it can be interpreted in a number of ways.

This results in vast confusion.  It also results in vast opportunities for identity theft and fraud, because when Americans innocently say they are "US citizens" it is left up to interpretation WHICH "United States" they are referencing----you can see how this semantic confusion has been used to politically scavenge our people.

Anyway, the people running the Michigan General Jural Assembly have resisted the necessity of correcting their own political status and making it clear that they are acting exclusively as American State Citizens --- that is, as one of the People --- and without this "singular allegiance" being plainly executed, adopted, and on the public record for each one of the Jural Assembly Members, it's not possible for them to act in the capacity of "one of the People" and it is not possible for their assembly to act as a Body Politic for their actual State.  

All their work is invalidated for failure to clearly and unequivocally declare their political status as American State Citizens with no other citizenship obligations.  

Our Forefathers did this to prevent conflicts of interest.  They did not intend that people holding Dual Citizenship of any kind would be empowered to make decisions affecting our land and soil.  

So, that is the first Strike Out for the Michigan General Jural Assembly having the correct capacity and standing.  I explained all this as best I could, and they still refused to correct and do the paperwork.  So..... 

(2) Number Two Strike Out --- this is not an absolute bar against them like the first circumstance is, but it does seem to indicate a dishonorable and conscious desire to Rip Off the People of Michigan.  The Michigan General Jural Assembly created a "Settlor Agreement" naming themselves as the "Settlors" of the ESTATES of their fellow-Michiganers and of Michigan, the actual land and soil jurisdiction State of the Union.  

The only Lawful Settlement possible is to return the property assets to Michigan and its National Trust and to the individual Lawful Persons owed that National Trust.  Thanks to all the confusion about who is who and in what capacity are all these people acting and intending to act, the only way for us to cut through this conundrum is for those of us who are aware and are acting in the correct capacity to serve as Fiduciaries for our States--- not Settlors

As Fiduciaries we function under The Prudent Man Rule and are obligated to care for and defend the assets of our States and the People of our States.  We can receive back the assets of the Michigan National Trust as  Fiduciary Trustees pending a broad spectrum effort to educate the people of Michigan about these issues and the choices set before them prior to calling for elections in which each Michiganer makes an informed choice about their political status and assets.

Otherwise, what happens is that this little group of people dba the "Michigan General Jural Assembly" becomes an oligarchy that "owns" all of Michigan and has the right of disposal of all the assets of Michigan and the People of Michigan, too.   All right, title, and interest in Michigan property assets both public and private reverts just to them and not back to the State and not back to the rest of the People (if the members of MGJA were operating as "People" to begin with).  

So, in order to assure a peaceful and fair transition, what we need are State Fiduciaries, not Settlors.  

The State Fiduciaries need to be straight shooters committed to the well-being of everyone involved, honest, and willing to be held to public account for their actions as one of the People of Michigan acting in a Fiduciary capacity for Michigan and the other People of Michigan.  Not a bunch of schemers intent on stealing the assets of the State and People, which is, unfortunately, what the Michigan General Jural Assembly looks like thanks to their "offer" to act as Settlors and refusal to act as "People of Michigan".  

The Europeans seem to have the idea that because the original "State of Michigan" doing business as "The State of Michigan" was destroyed and then mothballed into a separate State Trust  as the "Michigan State" --that our State Government was destroyed.  Such is not the case.  The State of Michigan was a Federal Contractor, not the actual State.  

Nonetheless, the Great Double Jubilee is here, and all property must return to the proper and actual owners, free and clear of debt---- and rightful owners and inheritors of Michigan and the Michigan State Trust are present and functioning as Lawful Persons occupying the land jurisdiction of Michigan and are operating properly as Fiduciaries.  

The Michigan State Assembly has been summoned, the members have withdrawn from any presumed Dual citizenship, and stand in their capacity as the People of Michigan.   Once this is all sorted out and everyone is on the same page, elections will be called and the People of Michigan acting as an Electoral Assembly will hold Public Elections and act as the Settlors of their own State's National Trust.  Everyone will receive back their own private estates to settle the private property assets, too. 

This is what Justice and Peace demands ---- not another little oligarchy of foreign mercenaries sneaking in the back door like the Committee of 300 and doing whatever they please.  

Make no mistake --- Michigan belongs to the People who live there.  Nobody else has any right to meddle or interfere. The position of The United States of America [Unincorporated] as a Federation of the actual States is clear--- we are here to defend the interests of our member States in the international forum and they are here to defend the interests of their People and the People of each State are here to defend their own interests and the interests of their beloved State.  

The Michigan State Assembly is functioning in the correct capacities --- as People of Michigan and as Fiduciaries for Michigan until the education effort is made and the elections called.  The Michigan General Jural Assembly is not. 

Please also note that the People of each State are the civilians in this country and our respective State Governments are the civilian government "of the People, for the People, and by the People" to which the military forces owe their allegiance.  Please also note that the People and their actual physically defined States are the Parties to the Constitutions.  Without us, there is nobody "holding the other end of the string"--- and the Constitutions are vacated for lack of competent Parties surviving to uphold and enforce these agreements.  

If you guys take your oath to defend the Constitutions from all enemies foreign and domestic seriously--- and I know you do! ----then please wake everyone up and realize that without Americans acting as "People" there can be no Constitution in effect.  This surreptitious "de-population" of our States and conversion of our People into a "foreign citizenry"  is the single greatest threat to the Constitutions in our history.

The Last Men Standing


By Anna Von Reitz

First, there is no set "number", quotient or quorum required for us to repopulate the American States and reclaim our land and soil.  

The same foresight that made each man a "sovereign in his own right" guaranteed that every son and daughter of every state of the Union has an eternal claim to the land and the soil and the resources thereof--so long as they are acting as one of the People and only as one of the People. 

It doesn't take ten men or fifty or a million, it just takes one man or woman with the proper standing to claim back a whole State for the People of that State.

Second, by gathering these birthright American State Nationals and American State Citizens together and summoning them to Assemble, we demonstrate the fact that the Americans known as Californians and Texans and Minnesotans and Virginians and so on, still exist.  

We, the Lawful Progeny, are still here, and only we, those of us acting in our correct capacity as People, have the standing and the right to act as Settlors of our Estates and as Enforcers of the Constitutions. 

Over the years many groups have formed and they have claimed many things. We have had RuSA and the National Assembly and the Republic for the United States and the Reign of Heaven-USA and the Nation-States Project and We, the People, and THE REPUBLIC and The Republic of the United States of America and The USA and others, too. 

Each of these groups contributed to the effort to keep our country and our government "of the people, for the people, and by the people" alive.  They each gave evidence of our pulse.  

The problem is that none of them ever acted consistently in the correct capacity needed to maintain their lawful and legal standing. Usually they failed to meet this benchmark because they didn't require their membership to declare their unique political status as American State Nationals and/or American State Citizens, and they let undeclared people and US Citizens act as members. 

Our States of the Union are harsh masters. They demand our unique and singular devotion as citizens. 

That fact and lack of awareness of the various foreign citizenships that have been conferred upon each one of us, has resulted in decades of repeated failure to successfully assemble our States and reconstruct our Federal States of States. 

There is only one organization that has met the requirements to have the correct Lawful and legal standing established for itself and all its members-- The American States Assembly.  

There is only one organization that has posted indemnity bonds for all the States. 

Only one organization has step-by-step  reclaimed all the assets owed to the American States and People and recorded and registered all the Notices and Liens needed to enforce these claims.   

Only one organization has made the long term and extensive effort to give Notice and Due Process to all the interested Parties. 

Only one organization has retained an unbroken access to and ability to operate The United States of America (Unincorporated)--- the Federation of States formed September 9, 1776. 

Only one organization has educated and enabled its members to overcome the legal presumptions of Territorial and Municipal Citizenship. 

Only one organization is set up to fully and properly restore the missing Federal States of States.

We are the Last Men (and Women) standing as the Lawful Government of our respective Nation-States, and as the Lawful Inheritors of the land and soil jurisdiction of these United States.  

We don't say this to put anyone else's sincere efforts down. We don't disrespect or devalue the efforts other groups of Americans have made.  

The facts remain. 

There is only one organization with the lawful and legal standing to reclaim America for Americans: The American States Assembly. 

Support it like your lives depend upon it. 

On April 30 the Renewal Date for The Constitution for the united States of America came and went. So far as certain Parties could see, only the Queen's Government remained standing and stood to gain our land and soil by default. 

But on May 3, on the last day of grace, we visited the United States District Court and filed suit for arbitration--not as an administrative action, but as an arbitration on the international jurisdiction of the land.  

We are suing to compel performance from WILLIAM P BARR and CHARLES RETTIG to return the American assets to the actual American States and People.

Comment on MGJA Notice to Donald Trump


By Anna Von Reitz

I think this "Notice" from the Pretend-to-Be Assemblies is in the same exact vein as dozens of failed Patriot efforts that have gone before.  See all the work that Bob Schultz did.  See all the work that NLA did.  Those who don't learn from their mistakes..... 

Pfffftttt!  

That's me making a disgusted sound as I shake my head; you would think that we had all been over this ground too many times before, but no.....  The definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over and expect different results.  So I guess a lot of patriots in this country are insane.  They just keep making the same mistakes and the same false assumptions--- over and over and over.  

For one thing, in Law, the term "People" very specifically means "People of the Land Jurisdiction"---- and MGJA doesn't qualify its members to act as "People", much less as "We, the People"--- that is, Progeny of the Founders and Inheritors of the National Trust.  

They are all still wandering around claiming to be "US Citizens" of one kind or another, even after I pointed out that no "US Citizen" is now nor has ever been qualified to act in the capacity of one of the "People" of this country.  US Citizens--- whether United States Citizens or Citizens of the United States, either one --- are acting as "Persons" and not as "People" by definition.  

So that renders their actions invalid and ineffective from the get-go. 

At best, President Trump may look at this Notice of theirs as a "Petition".   At worst, he could arrest all of them who haven't bothered to correct their political status records and throw the book at them as "insurrectionists"--- ironically, they could be charged under the same statutory law they are citing for him as reference because they are still carrying "US Citizenship" obligations.  

The whole reference to the Act of 1871 is pathetic, too.  The Act of 1871 was repealed in 1874.  Hello?  Parts of it were piece-meal passed as part of other Acts in 1877-78.  I have published the whole history of this process.  Nobody has any excuse for being ignorant about this and what it all "means" if they have been following along.  

The Municipal United States Government is created by Article I, Section 8, Clause 17, which gives the members of Congress "plenary"--- meaning absolute --- control of the government of  Washington, DC .   That government reorganized itself as a private commercial corporation and Municipality --- an independent, international city-state---and they had every right to do so.  Period.  In and of itself, it had no affect on us or our States and we have no right to complain about how they conduct their business, because under their contract, The Constitution of the United States, they have every right to do whatever they want to do as the government of Washington, DC. 

So all those choices, all those changes, lie outside our contract with them, should not impact us, and do not change their obligations to us.  The Act of 1871 is none of our business, and it does not become any of our business until or unless it results in: (1) neglect or insubordination of duties owed performance; (2) trespass upon our Lawful Jurisdiction; (3) usurpation.  

The grounds that we have to complain are of a different kind entirely than the Notice under discussion implies. 

The Municipal United States Government is strictly limited to operate within the ten miles square of the District of Columbia, but they have usurped far, far beyond that.  They have, without authorization, created their own Municipal Service Districts and extended them all across our country.  They have established STATE OF STATE organizations and established them within the physical borders of every State of the Union, too.  

None of this is allowed under their Constitution, but these entities are operating as foreign commercial corporations, and if we do not object to their activities, they assume that we "acquiesced" to their practices and accepted their "offers" and that they have our permission to act in ways never stipulated by the constitutional agreements.  

Somebody has to hold them to the limitations of their contract, and with all the actual Americans asleep and "presumed" to be some form of Territorial or Municipal US Citizen, there was nobody left to do that.  They have run wild and run amok and nobody has been smart enough or determined enough to get into position to hold their feet to the fire and force them to honor their obligations.  Until now.  

The American States Assembly is closing in. 

These Territorial and Municipal government services corporations and their officers are also under specific performance obligations and duties that they have not fulfilled, which they have bungled, neglected, and ignored.  We have --- once we are recognizable as "People" -- the ability to hold them accountable for that.  

Even worse, these our employees, have been insubordinate and have trespassed against us and against our lawful government.  We can charge them for that, too, once we start acting as "People" again.  The ambush and murder of LaVoy Finicum comes to mind.  

That is heinous enough in and of itself, but when you consider that Municipal United States Subcontractors --- FBI --- planned and executed this action, it becomes clear just how far out of line these members of Congress are and how necessary it is for Americans to wake up, act in their Lawful Capacity,  and hold these foreign commercial corporations accountable. 

These are all matters of criminality, not politics.  

Ruby Ridge, Waco, 911, LaVoy ---- these are international crimes being committed on our shores by misdirected Federal Employees and Federal Subcontractors.  We don't need to whine to Donald Trump.  He is already doing his best.  What we need to do is to get our own Ducks in Order, and do what needs to be done to correct our own political status, assemble the actual States of the Union, and kick rump.  

Then we can help President Trump drain the Swamp and discourage the Alligators, instead of standing around like little children whimpering about having their candy taken away and shouting, "I'm King of the Mountain!"  or, in this case, falsely claiming to act as "We, the People" when we haven't even bothered to find out what "People" means.  

The American States Assembly has done the work and paid the price to actually function as "We, the People".  

We know that the actual States of the Union don't allow participation by "US Citizens" in their government, because it would be a gross conflict of interest.  We are assembling States, not States of States. 

We know that we have been deliberately misidentified, first as British Territorial Citizens, and then as Municipal CITIZENS.  We also know that there is no evidence on the Public Record to rebut these presumptions against us, until we take action to correct this circumstance and produce our pedigree and back up our claim to be and to act as one of the People of this country. 

We, The American States Assembly, and our member State Assemblies, have standing as "We, the People", and we are not petitioning anyone for anything.  Nor are we sending vain "Notices" to Donald Trump, and adding to his burden and frustration.  We are rebuilding and restoring our Lawful Government --- and we are beginning action to enforce the Constitutions owed to us by the Territorial and Municipal Governments.  

Please realize that we have already given complete Notice and Due Process to all members of the Territorial and Municipal Governments. That process was completed in April 2014.  It took seven (7) years to accomplish, but we did it. There is no need for any other effort by Americans to serve Notice nor Due Process on Donald Trump nor any other corporate official.  That was already done five (5) years ago and has been under continuous action ever since.  The backstory of this effort is detailed in my book, Disclosure 101, and anyone trying to deal with this Mess needs to sit down and read it----sooner rather than later. 

Then maybe the Queen will stop laughing at the ignorant Colonials stumbling around claiming to be US Citizens at the same time they are claiming to be "We, the People".  And maybe the Roman Pontiff will realize that being the "bridge" between Life and Death requires more Due Diligence from him than he has been giving to it.   And ---- imagine the American Patriot Movement finally coming together and being properly educated and taking effective measures to correct this Mess?   Wouldn't that be something------- ? 

That's my comment on their Notice.  Don't expect Donald Trump to give it any notice back.  If he does, he will be acting in error---- because they are, as US Citizens --- his subordinates, and no more "We, the People" than the Iman of Kashmir.

Deadly Assessment Letter to End IRS False Claims


By Anna Von Reitz

Okay, you have sent in your Revocation of Election to Pay Federal Income Taxes and identified yourself as a private Lawful Person, but the IRS doesn't want to take "No, thanks." for an answer.  They will often continue to send you letters and threaten and harass you in various ways even long after you have cut the cord and sailed away. 

In order for them to collect a tax, someone must assess a tax.  In order to create a lien, someone must first assess a tax.   

If you refuse to do that for them, they will happily appoint someone on their staff to do it "for" your PERSON, however, that IRS employee will never have any first-hand knowledge and can't validate the debt. 

It is this assessment process which underlies every lien and every other action they undertake without your participation or consent that is the Fatal Flaw in their system.    

If you are sick of getting letters from the IRS, especially threatening letters claiming that you owe them debts, and offering to lien your assets and take you to court, etc. --- send them a counter-offer.  

Here's an example of a clean strike letter sealed with a self-fulfilling contract. 
Notice that you take charge of the situation and secure your position up front. You are polite and professional.  You are reasonable and give them sufficient time to respond.  

When they don't respond within 30 days, you stamp "Second Notice" on a copy of the same letter, write in a new Registered Mail Number and cross out "thirty (30)" and write in "ten (10)" on the Second Notice copy as the amount of time they have to respond. 

When they don't respond within the additional 10 (ten) days, you send a third copy of the same letter stamped "Final Notice", and again, change the Registered Mail Number, and number of days for them to respond from 10 days to 7 days. 

They won't respond because they can't do so without endangering themselves. They are telling a Big, Fat Lie and you are calling them on it.   

Your self-fulfilling contract has been "accepted" and all "Due Process" has been served.  If they ever rear their ugly heads again, trot out your correspondence. 
This same process can be used to reply to State Tax Collectors. 

Always bear in mind that there are some PERSONS who do owe Federal Income Taxes, and be sure that you are not one of them before revoking or contesting with the IRS.  

The checklist is simple--- are you a Federal Employee?  If so, you owe Federal Income Taxes.  Are you a Dependent of a Federal Employee?  You may owe Federal Income Taxes, too.  

Are you a recipient of unearned Federal Welfare payments or retirement income based on Federal Employment?  You may have to pay some back as Federal Income Tax --- but in the case of Social Security payments based on mixed Federal and Private Sector earnings, only the portion attributable to Federal Employment is taxable. 

Please note that many veterans owe a dollar or two of Federal Income Taxes based on their two-year employment in the military decades ago, but this and similar trivial income is exempted by the standard deductible. 

Are you a "political asylum seeker" like the Hondurans at our Southern Border?  You will owe federal income tax on any federal income you receive until your political status is changed and settled. 

Last, are you operating (knowingly, willingly, voluntarily) a commercial corporation or maritime VESSEL registered in the Municipal United States (Washington, DC)?   

For the vast majority of us, the answer to that one is ---- hell, no, I am not knowingly, willingly, or voluntarily operating any such contrivances, but now that  I have been made aware that such a "franchise" has been created "for" me and in my name, I have corrected my political status and removed the franchise to a permanent domicile on the land and soil of.... Illinois, Minnesota, Vermont..... 

Still, always remember that there are such things as "US Corporations" and those corporations that have been enfranchised as "US CITIZENS" under the Diversity Clause of the Federal Code, are subject to paying -- guess what? Federal Income Tax.  

This is just another reason why you must go through the Turkey Trot of formally recording and reclaiming your Good Name and birthright political status and natural estate as an American.  This is why you have to expatriate these NAMES and establish their new permanent domicile on the land and soil jurisdiction State. 

Until you object to the "presumption" that you are conducting your business as a US Corporation, you owe the franchise taxes --- that is, Federal Income Tax. Until you take exception to these presumptions and record your counterclaims (the paperwork available on PaperUpNow.com and Article 928 on my website, www.annavonreitz.com), there is no evidence on the Public Record in support of your position that you are an American and not a Federal Citizen nor Federal Employee and not operating as a Federal Corporation Franchisee, either. 

Okay?  I don't want anyone going off half-cocked.  I don't want anyone getting in trouble because they don't completely understand the web they are in or are unprepared to rebut the legal presumption of US Citizenship/US CITIZENSHIP. 

On the other hand, I don't want Joe Average American taxed for taxes he doesn't owe and never did.  I don't want to see Joe Average suffering wage garnishments that don't apply to him.  I don't want to see Joe losing his home or his retirement to these voracious foreign bill collectors. 

The vast majority of us are naturally exempt from Federal Income Taxes and don't get a drop of Federal Income.  So.....  if you are Joe Average, get busy, record your paperwork to reclaim your birthright political status, and.... when you get threatening mail after you have revoked your election to pay Federal Income Taxes, send back a letter something like this: 

April 24, 2018

To: Department of the Treasury
Internal Revenue Service
Any City, ST 64XXX-0010

To Whom It May Concern, [or the name of specific officer harassing you]

Re: Notice CP40, Dated: April XX, 2018  

I have your Notice CP40 which is dated: April 22, 2019. If I had any federal income during the referenced year it is my intent to comply.

Your offer regarding the referenced tax year is accepted and returned. I will provide an information return upon proof of claim that I had taxable federal income during the year in question.
In order to reply, I must know the character, nature and venue of the alleged assessment. Please have a designated Assessment Officer of the Internal Revenue Service send me: (1) a dated and certified and signed assessment and (2) a copy of the supporting record used to create the assessment. I will also need the Assessment Officer’s Internal Revenue Service Employee Identification Number and contact information for my files.
Upon receiving the signed assessment and supporting documents, they will be reviewed. If the applicability, validity and correctness of the claim is demonstrated, I will settle any debts. If I do not receive the requested documents within thirty (30) days, I will take it as your agreement that the assessment was faulty, that no taxes are owed, and that the claim is withdrawn with prejudice.
                                     Respectfully,

My Update


By Anna Von Reitz

Just so everyone knows, I am running ragged in mad-dog fashion.  There is so much going on.  I am constantly in motion and can't hope to keep up with correspondences and thank you notes and all the things that need to be done on a day to day basis, but I want you to know how much I and the Living Law Firm appreciate all the help.  

It's coming in from all angles and in all forms --- and we all feel truly blessed.  We are keeping noses above water and the work is going forward.  

We are still fighting the rather major costs of travel expenses, but we got all the cases filed and all the recordings recorded.  Job One is done. 

The rest, well, the rest we move forward on as need be.  As Jesus said, each day has its own troubles.  We will take them one by one, together. 

The First Round has involved the Clerks messing with the Docket Sheets.  This is basically a matter of you invoking one court and the Clerks placing your action in another court, the better to fleece you and make things convenient for them.  

They also try to mess around with the clearly stated names and capacities of the Parties. For example, you name "PETER M PIGG" as the DEFENDANT and the Clerks change the name to "Peter M. Pigg" and change not only the name, but the capacity in which the DEFENDANT functions.  

Please be aware and stay sharp about the details of how your actions are being presented on the Docket Sheets and as soon as you notice anything amiss, "take exception" to it and give Notice that a mistake has been made and request correction.  

If it seems that the Clerks are obstructing or manipulating, ask them flat out why they are doing this.  You will often learn things about the internal workings and assumptions of the courts that you would never learn otherwise. 

Our issues with the government are all arbitration actions and we are always acting as Foreign Nations with respect to any government actors. This is because any other kind of complaint or action is "at cross-purposes".  

Think about it.  If you bring suit against a Municipal character --- a STRAWMAN in a Municipal Court, you have thrown the STRAWMAN into Brer Rabbit's Briar Patch.  He is home free.  And there is no way that the Municipal COURT can act as a disinterested Third Party sitting in judgement between the Foreign Nation and one of its own franchisees. 

Same thing with the Territorial Courts.  They cannot possibly act without conflict of interest when the Plaintiff is a Foreign Nation and their own franchisees are the Defendant Parties. 

You have to use the Municipal COURTS as Arbiters against Territorial Officers and you have to use Territorial Courts as Arbiters against STRAWMEN, so that there are three separate and independent Parties in each Arbitration and the courts are not in gross conflict of interest or allowed to "redefine" your issues to reduce and control them as mere internal administrative actions that the courts can dispose of with impunity.  

Most especially, you will want to know and stand your ground on who you are and in what capacity you are acting.  Leave nothing to be assumed or presumed---- nail down the exact identity, nature, and role of every Party, including the Court --- before ever stating a claim or moving forward. 

This is just offered in the nature of a report from the field, where we are engaged every day and can observe how the Clerks of Court are circling the wagons and attempting to avoid actual prosecution of cases.

If you set it up correctly, you run the table.  Let them set the table, and you lose.

It's also wise to realize that just because there is no obvious conflict of interest, the Territorial and Municipal Governments have long been in collusion against Americans, and they help each other out whenever the opportunity arises.  Some Judges are more honest or more clannish than others, so you have to watch every move they make and every word they say and "take exception" to all the offers they and the Prosecutors make that are contrary to your interests.  

There are obvious offers such as when judges practice law from the bench and offer to enter a plea for you, and there are far more subtle offers as when the Clerks change the form of a name on a Docket Sheet, or a prosecutor calls you a "resident" or addresses you as "Mister".  

You must be very sharp and watchful and prompt and take nothing for granted nor on trust when you deal with these courts---- every step of the way from correcting Docket Sheets to posting bonds and beyond.  

Anyway, watch the Docket Sheets carefully.  The Clerks win many cases for themselves simply by making "mistakes" on the Docket Sheets.  You have 72 hours to respond once you see such mistakes.  

Thank you all for the continued support of our Team in the trenches, for money and for prayers and for information shared.

NOT Rocket Science, But....


By Anna Von Reitz

There are three kinds of "citizens" here in America.  

There are actual Americans who are citizens of their States --- Virginians, Californians, Dakotans, Kentuckians, New Yorkers, Texans...... These People live in the actual, factual, physically defined States of the Union.  

This is the actual Nation-State government "of the people, for the people, and by the people" that occupies the land and soil jurisdiction of every State.  The People are owed all the assets of their States, but instead, two branches of the Federal Government that survived the Civil War have been taking it upon themselves to take our assets into custody "for" us, for "safe-keeping".   

Thus it is that our Federal Employees have been ruling the roost and cracking the whip over the actual owners of the States, and undermining our rightful government in the process.  So, now let's look at them: 

There are British Territorial United States Citizens who are citizens of the British Commonwealth.  These Persons exist as military or corporate Officers and their Dependents, employed by the Territorial United States of America. [Notice this is not The United States of America, which is an unincorporated Federation of actual States and People.  This is a foreign corporation in the business of providing government services called "the" United States of America, Inc.]  These people operate within Military and Judicial Districts that overlay the land and soil of our States.  

They also operate the Territorial States of States organizations in every State.  These States of States organizations are supposed to be serving the British Commonwealth citizens on our soil, but they have usurped upon us and "presumed" that we are all British Commonwealth citizens.  They have done this by establishing illegal contracts and falsifying documents. 

There are also Municipal Citizens of the United States who are citizens of the Municipality of Washington, DC, that are franchised by the Holy See.  These PERSONS exist as Federal Civil Government Employees and their Dependents.  These are the Postal Workers, the Agency Workers, the Welfare Recipients, the Political Asylum Seekers, and the US Corporation Franchises. These PERSONS also work within "Federal Districts" that are variously defined: Postal Districts, School Districts, Service Districts.  These people operate the STATES OF STATES organizations and businesses like the DMV, FBI, IRS, etc.  They also got into the act and established unauthorized STATES OF STATES to, purportedly, serve all their Citizens.  

So you can be a Citizen of your State of the Union.  You can be a British Citizen of a State of State on our shores.  You can be a Municipal Citizen of a Municipal STATE OF STATE on our shores.  

Or, you can choose not to be a "citizen" of anything at all, and simply call yourself a "national" of any of the fifty States, or the [Territorial] United States of America, or the [Municipal] United States.    

Always remember that being a "citizen" implies an obligation to serve whichever government you are a citizen of in some capacity.  Maybe you agree to serve it as a voter or a juror or a tax withholding agent, maybe you are employed by that government and become a "citizen" of it that way.

The problem is that millions of innocent American State Nationals and American State Citizens have been "mistaken" for either British Territorial Citizens or Municipal Citizens ---- and railroaded accordingly.  

It always comes as a shock when we tell people, no, the United States Citizens have never been protected by any American Constitution, and neither have the Citizens of the United States been protected by our Constitutions.  Why?  Because they are citizens of entirely different governments.  

Think about it for five seconds. 

The States contracted originally with the Confederation of States (a group of commercial corporations doing business as the States of America with franchises doing business as, for example, The State of Georgia) to provide them with mutual governmental services--- a common defense, a common form of money, a common immigration policy, a common trade policy, etc. 

The States of America (Confederation), the Original primary provider of all these services in common was destroyed during the Civil War.  This Confederation included both the Northern States of States known as "the Union" and the Southern States of States known as the "Confederate States of America".  These were supposed to be "Reconstructed" after the hostilities ended, but they never were.  

Our intended Federal Government which is supposed to function with Three Branches --- Federal (States of America), Territorial (British), and Municipal (Rome) was destroyed.  

To gloss over the "missing piece" and continue the story line of three branches of government, we were told that the branches of government were "executive, legislative, and judicial"----- which they are, but only within each branch.  

In other words, each actual branch of the intended Federal Government structure had its own internal executive, legislative, and judicial functions, but that was not the original meaning of the "three branches of the Federal Government".  

Just step back and observe for yourself  that there are State of State (Territorial) Courts and STATE OF STATE (Municipal) COURTS, operating at the same time, and that "Congress" wears numerous hats, for example, "The Congress of the United States" and "The United States Congress".  

If it were just a simple business of executive, legislative, and judicial, this vast multiplicity of courts and kinds of government organizations would not exist. So you may be sure--- just by using your own eyes and ears--- that there is more to this than you were ever taught in school.  

Begin by asking yourself---- am I a citizen?  And if so, what kind?  American, British or Municipal?   Am I one of the People, or am I functioning as a Person or as a PERSON?   Who am I?  Maybe I am not a citizen at all..... but at least think about it and think deeply.  

American State Citizens and American State Nationals are both owed protection and peace---- especially from their own Employees.  United States Citizens and Citizens of the United States have no such pleasant guarantees.  

So think and think hard.  Are you an American, a US Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States?   Or are you no kind of "citizen" at all?   Whatever shoe fits, its up to you to sort things out and declare your political status.  Nobody can make your choices or live your life for you.  

As for the Living Law Firm, it is not our part to make choices "for" you, but to present the choices to you, to make you aware of the actual history and condition of your government, and explain how and why you are being denied the protections of the Constitutions: the Constitutions are still there, but because you are being misidentified as a United States Citizen or a Citizen of the United States, those protections are not applicable to you.

"Lawful" in What Sense?


By Anna Von Reitz

This morning I have had a rash of emails and calls from people who have gone to their banks and issued their demand for their accounts to be "denominated" in "lawful money".  In return, the bankers are offering them a classic Bunko excuse.  To quote directly:

"In 1933, Congress changed the law so that all U.S. coins and currency (including Federal Reserve notes), regardless of when issued, constitutes "legal tender" for all purposes. Federal and state courts since then have repeatedly held that Federal Reserve notes are also "lawful money." Milam v. U.S., 524 F.2d 629 (9th Cir. 1974), is typical of the federal and state court cases holding that Federal Reserve notes are "lawful money." In Milam, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reviewed a judgment denying relief to an individual who sought to redeem a $50 Federal Reserve Bank Note in "lawful money." The United States tendered Milam $50 in Federal Reserve notes, but Milam refused the notes, asserting that "lawful money" must be gold or silver. The Ninth Circuit, noting that this matter had been put to rest by the U.S. Supreme Court nearly a century before in the Legal Tender Cases (Juilliard v. Greenman), 110 U.S. 421 (1884), rejected this assertion as frivolous and affirmed the judgment."

My students have long ago learned to pay attention to exactly how words are presented --- how they are capitalized or not --- and also to look up legal meanings of words.  The word "lawful" is not capitalized and when you look up the meaning of "lawful" it is simply whether or not something is subject to a system of laws. 

Nobody would argue that Lincoln's Greenbacks or the present Federal Reserve Notes are not subject to a system of law --- and therefore can be described as "lawful money" even though they are "legal tender", but at the same time Legal Tender is not Lawful Money, as in actual money. 

Legal tender of the Federal Reserve Note kind is called "Money of Account" --- meaning credit --- for a reason. The reason for that is that the actual asset backing it, is not present.  So credit is being extended in the belief that there is an actual asset, something of value, backing the "Note" which is in fact an I.O.U.

In the case of Lincoln's Greenbacks, they were being backed by Treasury Bonds issued to investors who brought in actual gold and silver to purchase the Bonds for a period of 10 or 40 years (the origin of the "1040" Form) with the expectation that after that time period elapsed, the bonds would "mature" and the banks would pay out the principal plus interest also in gold or silver.

Instead what happened is that the banks issued  "legal tender" -- that is, credit as repayment, and there was a mini-rebellion in the 1880's when investors in the original Treasury Bonds objected to receiving "credit" instead of actual gold or silver as their reward for buying Lincoln's "Ten or Forty" Bonds.

Issuing credit, as we have learned, actually costs the banks nothing actual and factual, so they take in gold and silver and extend "credit"  as "legal tender" and stand there acting as if this is a legitimate and equitable transaction when it clearly is not.  

The US Supreme Court stooped to the level of using "words and terms of art" to create an appearance that it was all okay -- "lawful money" as opposed to "Lawful Money" --- but it still isn't okay and credit is still not the same as actual money.

Actual money has value as a commodity in and of itself.  Gold and silver are "Lawful Money" because you can sell both in the marketplace as separate, free-standing commodities. United States Notes are also "lawful money" backed by oil assets.  To avoid this bit of legal charlatanism, call it "actual money" or "Lawful Money" and explain it to the banks if they question your demand for "Lawful Money".  

In fact, the demand for "lawful money" in the context of 12 USC 411 already tells the banks that any "notes" that they credit to your account need to be "denominated as "United States Notes" not "Federal Reserve Notes" because in the context of 12 USC 411 that is the only interpretation possible, unless of course, the banks want to start backing their credit with totally foreign currencies.

In the United States at this time, the only "Notes" that stand as "lawful money" are "United States Notes".

This is because (1) the Federal Reserve Board bankrupted the "Federal Reserve System" in 2009 and (2) since then, the Federal Reserve Banks have not stood behind the Federal Reserve Notes with any assets of their own at risk and (3) this leaves the "Federal Reserve Notes" backed by the "good faith and credit" of the members of Congress acting as the Municipal Government of Washington, DC ---- and you can judge for yourselves what that is worth. 

United States Dollars issued since 1971 have been backed by oil, instead of gold or silver and "United States Notes" therefore are being backed by oil.  United States Notes are "lawful money" -- that is, credit notes backed by actual assets --- but they are not Lawful Money, that is,  not Actual Money, in that they have no value as a commodity in-and-of themselves. 

So don't let the banks baffle you with BS on this issue. 

The only US money that can be considered "lawful" money in the sense of the Legal Tender Cases are United States Notes --- USN's.  And the only US Money that can be considered true Lawful Money are United States Silver Dollars. 

Now, the banks don't have any United States Silver Dollars (and aren't set up to handle them if they did) and they most likely don't have enough United States Notes to meet demand, either, so what they can do is to "denominate" the digits associated with your account "as" United States Notes. 

This basically means, "We don't have enough United States Notes to pay you in USN's, but we can admit that these digits in your account are considered to be United States Notes."

Why would that matter?  Because United States Notes have value based on an actual commodity and are then presumed to be actual assets belonging to the account holders. They can't be seized by the bank because of that little fact and also the fact that USN's are issued by the United States, not the bankrupted Federal Reserve System.

When the BATF used to go on "raids" and ransack people's homes under gun-point for the IRS and steal everything of any value, they would seize any jewelry or stock certificates, records, checks, ---anything of value--- except American Silver Dollars.  Those they would never touch.  Why?  Because their system can't deal in actual true Lawful Money and because those dollars were issued by a foreign government.  Those dollars belong to the actual United States, not "the" United States.

So when you are dealing with these dishonest devils, be aware and be on your guard and don't let them sidestep or deceive you.  Step back on your heel and ask, "Lawful money in what sense?  I am talking about United States Notes instead of Federal Reserve Notes.  What are you talking about?" 

And when they bridle up, knowing that they've been caught in their offered subterfuge, you might step back another step and eyeball the guilty parties and say, "The reference to 12 USC 411 makes that clear enough in context, doesn't it?  The Legal Tender cases you are referencing concerned Lincoln's Greenbacks, for goodness sakes!  Since when do you or I trade in Greenbacks?" 

Or even more pointedly, smile ingratiatingly and say, "Oh, but then, which "United States" would you be referencing? The actual United States?  Or the United States Territorial Government?  Or the United States Municipal Government?"

About then, the banker is going to realize if he hasn't already, that he is not going to get away with this bunko act, and should retreat back into his office, where he should hurriedly add the USN designation to your account balances.

The bottom line is that you prefer money backed by oil to money backed by the hot air of the dishonest, spendthrift, run amok "US CONGRESS" and it is up to you to make sure that your local bankers get the message and credit your accounts accordingly.  It's your credit.  If you want lawful money, they have to provide it or go out of business.

Every time you do so, more of the "US National Debt" gets paid down.  More jolly good.  See to it.  And don't let bankers or lawyers sell you (1) wooden nickels or (2) bunko excuses.
