Instruction on the Fifth Sunday After Easter

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

In thanks for the redemption the Church sings at the Introit:

INTROIT Declare the voice of joy, and let it be heard, allel.: declare it even to the ends of the earth: the Lord hath delivered his people. (Isai. XLVII. 20.) Allel. allel. Shout with joy to God, all the earth: sing ye a psalm to his name, give glory to his praise. (Fs. LXV.) Glory be to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

COLLECT O God, from whom all good things proceed: grant to Thy suppliants, that by Thy inspiration we may think those things that are right, and by Thy guidance may perform the same. 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 (James I. 22‑27.) Dearly Beloved, Be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if a man be a hearer of the word and not a doer, he shall be compared to a man beholding his own countenance in a glass: for he beheld himself and went his way, and presently forgot what manner of man he was. But he that hath looked into the perfect law of liberty, and hath continued therein, not becoming a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. And if any man think himself to be religious, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his own heart, this man's religion is vain. Religion clean and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to visit the fatherless, and widows in their tribulation, and to keep one's self unspotted from the world.

EXPLANATION True piety, as St. James here says, consists not only in knowing and recognizing the word of God, but in living according to its precepts and teachings; in subduing the tongue, the most dangerous and injurious of all our members; in being charitable to the poor and destitute, and in contemning the world, its false principles, foolish customs and scandalous example, against which we should guard, that we may not become infected and polluted by them. Test thyself, whether thy life be of this kind.

ASPIRATION O Jesus! Director of the soul! Give me the grace of true piety as defined by St. James.

GOSPEL (John XVI. 23-30.) At this time, Jesus saith to his disciples: Amen, amen, I say to you, if you ask the Father,anything in my name, he will give it you. Hitherto, you have not asked anything in my name. Ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be full. These things I have spoken to you in proverbs. The hour cometh when I will no more speak to you in proverbs, but will show you plainly of the Father. In that day, you shall ask in my name: and I say not to you that I will ask the Father for you, for the Father himself loveth you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God. I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again I leave the world, and go to the Father. His disciples say to him: Behold, now thou speakest plainly, and speakest no proverb. Now we know that thou knowest all things, and thou needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou comest forth from God.

Why does God wish us to ask of Him?

That we may know and confess that all good comes from Him; that we may acknowledge our poverty and weakness which in all things need the help of God; that we may thus glorify Him and render ourselves less unworthy of the gifts which He has promised us.

What is meant by asking in the name of Jesus?

By this is meant praying with confidence in the merits of Jesus, "who," as St. Cyril says, "being God with the Father, gives us all good, and as mediator carries our petitions to His Father." The Church, therefore concludes all her prayers with the words: "Through our Lord, Jesus Christ." It means also that we should ask that which is in accordance with the will of Christ, namely, all things necessary for the salvation of our soul; to pray for temporal things merely in order to live happily in this world, is not pleasing to Christ and avails us nothing. "He who prays for what hinders salvation," says St. Augustine, "does not pray in the name of Jesus." Thus Jesus said to His disciples: Hitherto you have asked nothing in my name, "because," as St. Gregory says, "they did not ask for that which conduces to eternal salvation."

Why is it that God sometimes does not grant our petitions?

Because we often pray for things that are injurious, and like a good father, God denies them to us, in order to give us something better; because He wishes to prove our patience and perseverance in prayer; because we generally do not pray as we ought; to be pleasing to God, prayer should be made when in a state of grace and with confidence in Christ's merits, for the prayer of a just man availeth much; (James V. 16.) we must pray with humility and submission to the will of God, with attention, fervor, sincerity, and with perseverance.

At what special times should we pray?

We should pray every morning and evening, before and after meals, in time of temptation, when commencing any important undertaking, and particularly in the hour of death. God is mindful of us every moment, and gives us His grace. It is, therefore, but just that we think often of Him during the day, and thank Him for His blessings.

How can we, in accordance with Christ's teachings, (Luke XVIII. 1.) pray at all times?

By making the good intention when commencing our work, to do all for the love of God, and according to His most holy will; by raising our hearts to God at different times during the day; frequently making acts of faith, hope, love, and humility, and by repeating short ejaculations, such as: O Jesus! grant me grace to love Thee! Thee only do I desire to love! O be merciful to me! Lord hasten to help me.

What is the signification of the different ceremonies that Catholics use at their prayers?

The general signification is that God must be served, honored and adored, not only with the soul but with the body; when we pray aloud we praise God, not only with the mind, but also with our lips; when we pray with bowed and uncovered head, with folded, uplifted, or outstretched hands, on bended knees, with bowed and prostrated body, we show our reverence and subjection to the majesty of God, before whom we, who are but dust and ashes, cannot humble ourselves enough. These different ceremonies during prayer are frequently mentioned in both the Old and the New Testaments, and Christ and His apostles have made use of them, as for instance, the bending of the knees, falling on the face, &c.

Which is the best of all prayers?

The Lord's Prayer which Christ Himself taught us, and commands us to repeat. When said with devotion, it is the most powerful of all prayers. (Matt. VI, 9-13; Luke XI. 2‑4.)

SHORT EXPLANATION OF THE LORD'S PRAYER

Of what does the Lord's Prayer consist?

It consists of an address, as an introduction to the prayer, and of seven petitions which contain all that we should ask for the honor of God, and for our own salvation. The address is thus: Our Father who art in heaven:

What does the word “Our" signify?

In the communion of saints we should pray for and with all the children of God; we should be humble and preserve brotherly love towards all men.

Who is it that is here called our “Father"?

Our Father is God who has made us His children and heirs of His kingdom through His Son.

Why do we say "Who art in heaven", since God is everywhere?

To remind us that our true home is heaven, for which we, should ardently long, because our Father is there, and there He has prepared our inheritance.

For what do we ask to the first petition: "Hallowed be Thy name?"

That we and all men may truly know, love, and serve God.

For what do we pray to the second petition: "Thy kingdom come?"

That the Church of God; the kingdom of Christ, may extend over the whole earth, and the kingdom of sin and the devil be destroyed; that Christ may reign in our hearts and in the hearts of all; and that God will deign to receive us into the kingdom of heaven when our earthly pilgrimage is ended.

For what do we ask to the third petition: "Thy will be done on earth as it is to heaven ?"

We beg that God would enable us, by His grace, to do His will in all things, as the blessed do it in heaven. In these three petitions we seek, as taught by Christ, first the kingdom of God, that all the rest may be added unto us. (Luke XII. 31.)

For what do we ask in the fourth petition: "Give us this day our dally bread?"

We beg for all necessaries for body and soul

Why does it say, "this day?"

The words "this day" signify that we should not be over anxious for the future, but place all our confidence in God who will provide the necessaries of life.

What do we ask for in the fifth petition: "Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us?"

We beg that God will forgive us our sins, as we forgive others their offenses against us. Those who make this petition, and still bear enmity towards their neighbor, lie in the face of God, and will not receive forgiveness. (Mark XI. 25, 26.)

What is asked for in the sixth petition: Lead us not into temptation?"

We ask God to avert all temptations or at least not to abandon us when we are tempted. We cannot, indeed be entirely free from them in this world, they are even necessary and useful for our salvation: for without temptation there is no combat, without combat no victory and without victory no crown.

What do we ask for in the seventh petition: Deliver us from evil?"

We beg that God would free us from all evil of soul and body.

INSTRUCTION CONCERNING THE PROCESSIONS ON ROGATION DAYS

What are processions?

Processions are solemn religious assemblages of persons marching together, and are instituted by the Catholic Church partly to encourage the piety of the faithful, partly in remembrance of graces received, and in thanksgiving for them. Processions are approved of by the Fathers of the Church from the earliest ages. Those who take part in them in a true spirit will reap wholesome fruit of Christian piety.

Are processions something new?

No, they were the custom in the very earliest centuries of the Church, as testified by the acts of the martyrs, of Saints Cyprian, Lucius, Boniface, and the Fathers of the Church, Saints Basil, Chrysostom, Ambrose, Gregory, and others. They are also founded on Scripture. Thus King David caused the ark of the covenant to be carried in solemn procession to Jerusalem, (II Kings VI.) and Solomon, his son, had it carried in solemn procession into the new temple. (III Kings VIII. 1-6.)

What do processions signify?

Processions are a figure of our pilgrimage on earth; we are strangers and wanderers here below, our journey reaches from this valley of tears to the heavenly Sion, the procession therefore returns into the house of God; our journey leads over the thorny ways of life, the procession therefore takes place in the open air, where the pilgrim is exposed to all kinds of weather; they are a powerful incentive to fervor in prayer for the faithful; when hundreds, even thousands of faithful praise God aloud, or cry to Him for help and mercy, must not even the coldest heart be roused to vivid, fervent devotion, since Christ has promised to be present even where two or three are assembled in His name? Processions are an open acknowledgment that praise, thanks and adoration are due to God alone, while they are a public profession of our faith in Christ, the Crucified; they are a solemn thanksgiving for being permitted to profess Christ, our Lord, before the whole world, as also for all the graces obtained through Him; they are a public testimonial of our faith in the one, holy, Catholic Church, whose members are united by the same bond of faith, and who form under their head, Christ, one family in God. Finally, they are a sign of the triumph of Christian faith over the darkness of heathenism. If processions are solemnized with such intentions, with order and dignity, with fervent devotion, in the light of faith, they are indeed a pleasing sight for angels and men

Why are banners and the cross carried in procession?

The cross signifies that we are assembled as Christians, in the name of Jesus, in whose name we begin and end our prayers, through whose merits we expect all things from the Heavenly Father, and whom we must follow: on our journey to heaven; the red and white banners indicate that we must walk in all innocence under the banner of Christ, and fight unto death against sin, against the world and the devil, and be as ready as were the martyrs to give our life for our faith; the blue banners indicate that we must walk the road of self-denial and mortification, with really humble and penitent feelings for our sins. The banners are also emblematic of Christ's victory over death and hell, and of the triumph of His religion over the pagans and Jews.

Why do we go around the fields in processions?

To beg God to bless the fields with His fatherly hand, to give and preserve the fruits of the earth, and. as He fills the animals with blessings, and gives them food at the proper time, so may He give to as also our necessary food.

What is the origin of the procession on St. Mark's day and on Rogation Days?

The procession on St. Mark's day was instituted even before the time of Pope Gregory the Great (607) who, however, brought it into fervent practice, "in order," as he says, 'to obtain, in a measure forgiveness of our sins." The same pontiff introduced another, called the Sevenfold Procession, because the faithful of Rome took part in it in seven divisions, from seven different Churches, meeting in the Church of the Blessed Virgin. It was also named the Pest Procession, because it was ordered by St. Gregory to obtain the cessation of a fearful pestilence which was at that time raging in Rome, and throughout all Italy. This pestilence so poisoned the atmosphere that one opening his mouth to sneeze or gape would suddenly fall dead; (hence the custom of saying God bless you," to one sneezing, and of making the sign of the cross on the mouth of one who gapes). The same holy pope ordered the picture of the Blessed Virgin, which is said to have been painted by St. Luke, to be carried in this procession, and that the intercession  asked of this powerful mother by these supplications, God heard and the pestilence ceased. It is said that the processions in Rogation Week owe their origin to St. Mamertus, Bishop of Vienne in France; in the neighborhood of which city there were, in the year 469, terrible earthquakes which caused great destruction, the fruits perished and various plagues afflicted the people. The saintly bishop assembled the faithful, recommended them to seek refuge in the merciful God, and led them in procession around the fields. Such processions spread over France, and gradually throughout the Christian world; they are held in order to obtain from God the averting of universal evils, such as war, famine, and pestilence, and are, at the same time, a preparation for the Ascension of Christ who is our most powerful mediator with His Father, and whom we should invoke especially during these days.

With what intentions should we take part in a procession?

With the intention of glorifying God, of thanking Him for all His graces, and of obtaining aid and comfort from Him in all our corporal and spiritual needs; with the view of professing our faith openly before the whole world, and with the sincere resolution of always following Christ, the Crucified, in the path of penance and mortification. He who entertains other intentions and takes part, perhaps, for temporal advantages, or for sinful pleasures, or to avoid labor, &c., sins against God and the Church who weeps over and condemns such abuses.

Court Action versus Private Arbitration

By Anna Von Reitz

Most of what passes for "court action" in our present morass of ignorance is instead the private processing of corporate tribunal decisions that are not the actions of any Public Court at all. 

Any time you see a docket sheet where the style of the name of the Court and the Plaintiffs and the Defendants all match, you are looking at an action in a private corporate tribunal designed to administratively settle disputes among the officials and employees and shareholders of the corporation.   

If the court is captioned (named and described) in an Upper and Lower Case name and the Plaintiffs and Defendants are too, you are looking at a Territorial Administrative Tribunal case.  

If the court is captioned in all capital letters and the Plaintiffs and Defendants are also, you are looking at a MUNICIPAL COURT TRIBUNAL. 

These Administrative Court Tribunals conduct about 90% of all court actions in this country.  

They all function by presuming that you are either an officer or an employee or a shareholder or a dependent of a corporation, and assume that whatever is being brought forward for adjudication is an internal dispute to be settled according to the internal statutory laws of the corporation (Administrative Code) and State Statutes and Public Policies of that corporation. 

So, once again, it is up to you to "declare your law" and to choose which court you do business with, and also up to you to decide whether you address a court at all----- unless of course, someone else is trying to choose your law and your court "for" you.  That's another whole discussion. 

For the moment, let's just concentrate on the fact that when you bring forward something for settlement, it is your choice of law and your decision to address either a court or seek private arbitration that largely determines the outcome. 

Most people in this country approve of land jurisdiction courts where the Ten Commandments form the basis for the Law being administered, but those courts were taken out of action surreptitiously by our "Public Servants" in order to better serve themselves.  

So now what?  A corporate administrative tribunal doesn't fit who you are or what you need in terms of services, and the gazillion codes and statutes and policies of these corporations don't meet your needs as a living man or woman. 

Chances are you are just waking up to the fact that you are being "impersonated" as a corporate entity and a legal fiction entity, and not being recognized as a living man or a Lawful Person, either one.  

Chances are you don't know the variations of laws and codes and statutes and all the corporate legalese, all the court procedures, all the court rules..... 

So that leaves you a stranger in a strange land and makes you easy pickings for these predators. You really are unprepared to interact with these courts, and they know it.  They set it up that way, the better to profit themselves and to keep rigid control of you and your assets.  

But when you are bringing the action, you do have an option.  You can seek private arbitration instead.  Arbitration has many advantages over court actions, not the least of which is simplicity.  In arbitration all you have to do is establish the form of law, the identities of the parties, and the nature of the conflict. 

You can sit down together like rational people and speak plain English and be heard.  The Arbiter is free to render a judgment based on the principles of justice apart from any corporate policies--- and they often do so with great prejudice against those perpetuating injustice.  You just don't hear about these cases because they are private---- truly private, as opposed to the quasi-private corporate tribunal actions that are so common.  

An arbitration action does not establish any precedent for anyone but you and whoever else is party to the arbitration.  It does not establish any res judicata.  But what it can and often does manage to deliver is justice.  

So when you are standing there feeling utterly bewildered by the plethora of undisclosed courts and court operations that have nothing to do with you as a living man or woman, remember the option you do have --- private arbitration. 

As a result of the corruption of the corporate court systems and the basic fact that the courts are obliged to make insupportable presumptions against you to even bring a case into their jurisdiction --- a very lively business has sprung up for Private Arbitration Services and you will find them under that heading in many metropolitan areas.  

Make haste to make peace with your brother on your way to court.... and take a detour via private arbitration services instead.  Until we have our own courts set up and functioning again, this is the best option for people searching for justice.

Lawful Marriage

By Anna Von Reitz

It's "Marriage Season" --- or so I am told.  More marriages take place in June than in any other month of the year.   I've been thumping on everyone about the word "Lawful" this week, as opposed to "Legal" so now we have the topic of "Lawful Marriage".  

What is a "Lawful Marriage" as opposed to a "Legal Marriage"? 

A Lawful Marriage is one that takes place on the land and soil of an actual, factual country.  It takes place according to the Law of Scripture and the Public Law of the country and internationally it is recognized as a Simple Treaty under the Law of Nations. 

It's both a private agreement and a public agreement between two people to live together and enter into all the rights and responsibilities of married life.

A "Legal Marriage" is a Joint Venture between two Legal Persons chartered by a State of State, subject to the Statutory Laws of that State of State.  The State of State, like the State of Washington, issuing the new franchise charter is an undisclosed Third Party having an "interest" in the JV and the "products thereof"---- your children.  

Obviously, you want to have your ducks in order and be making a deliberate choice about which kind of "marriage" you are entering into. 

I've had distraught parents contact me seeking help to protect their children who are now planning to get married and not knowing the difference between these two kinds of marriage.  They don't want their children and grandchildren to be reduced to mere businesses operating a JV under the thumb of State of State subcontractors. 

The basic situation is the same as what we encountered with the Baby Deed.  If we don't record our baby's true identity as an American State National, the freebooters sneak in and register our baby's name as a Legal Person and Ward of their State of State organization, leaving him or her --- and their parents --- at the mercy of the Territorial State of State.  

To counteract, we record the Baby Deed at the land recording office and seize ownership to our own children on the Public Record.  If the State of State then registers our baby's name, it is clearly and demonstrably a secondary claim and is not owed any enforcement against the parents.  

Straightening out your own political status records and recording that little Baby Deed on the land jurisdiction puts you back in control of your lives and the lives of your children.   It's the same way with marriages. 

You need to record your Lawful Marriage with the Land Recording Office, prior to or in concert with any "registration" of the new "vessel" with the State of State organization.  

To that end, our team has constructed a new recording instrument that does for marriages what the Baby Deed does for babies ---- establishes your marriage as a Lawful Marriage on the Public Record. 

This document is called a "Solemn Record and Proclamation of Lawful Marriage" and will be found --together with instructions-- with the Article 928 documents at my website, www.annavonreitz.com and hopefully will soon also be available on TheAmericanStatesAssembly.net website. 

Those receiving this as an email will also receive a "red-line" copy of the form and instructions.  

Recording this "Solemn Record and Proclamation of Lawful Marriage" protects your marriage from being treated as a commercial contract and prevents you and your children from being subjected to the unilateral demands of Territorial and Municipal Agencies.  

For your own safety and sanity and for the well-being of your children, be sure to fill out the "Solemn Record and Proclamation of Lawful Marriage" and record it with the Land Recording Office nearest you.  This is evidence that you are acting as living people getting married and not functioning as business entities engaged in a Joint Venture merger---- which is how your marriage will otherwise be "interpreted" by the existing court systems. 

I will also point out that doing this prevents a lot of the other heartaches that can be associated with marriages --- CPS, forced vaccinations, denial of home school rights, inequitable divorces, and a whole lot more can be settled privately and should be settled privately by arbitration.  Just make sure to get your "Solemn Record and Proclamation of Lawful Marriage" properly witnessed and recorded and forestall any ability of the pirates to exercise their "discretion" with regard to what kind of marriage you have entered into.

Lawful People, Lawful Money, Lawful Remedy.....

By Anna Von Reitz

People come to me and they want to argue.  

They have a clear view of their part of the "Elephant" and they want to argue about it.  

If they have hold of the trunk, they want to tell me all about how it is long and flexible and tapered and seems to be hollow.  If they have grabbed a leg, they are telling me about how it is rock solid and cylindrical.  If they have hold of an ear, well, then, it is flat and flexible and flops back and forth like a piece of heavy cloth....

Then, of course, they want to argue with each other, too.  

Which one is right?  They all are.   

They are just experiencing the government and the court system from different directions.

It's important to step back and realize we have a whole "Elephant" here. 

This morning I got a stream of emails because a "Petition of Remonstrance" was not heard nor addressed by the State of New Hampshire Legislature.  No big surprises here in Alaska.   

When you "petition" anyone or anything, you give up your sovereignty to them, like a little kid petitioning for a cookie.  Does the parent have the right to ignore such a petition and go on doing the laundry?  

And as it turns out, the Petition was mis-addressed.  Why ask Joe about Joseph's business?  It doesn't make sense, does it?   The names are similar, but there are two different parties involved.  

So there again, why would the State of New Hampshire have a word to say about New Hampshire's business? 

This was followed by more emails back and forth, with people discovering that we don't have any courts.  Oh, my.   

If I recall correctly, I came to the conclusion that all we have functioning as courts here (with very few exceptions) are: (1) Administrative Tribunals that handle In-House disputes for the corporations; (2) Maritime (Commercial) Courts operating under Admiralty Jurisdiction granted by Article III, Section 2 and exercised via the Special Supplemental Rules of the Federal Code of Civil Procedure; (3) Admiralty Courts functioning under Article III and the US Code of Military Justice: Military "Common Law". 

That was about five years ago, but the startled squawking about this "discovery" goes on anyway.  Then the same people who say that I am wrong go on to prove me right, and the only thing that is accomplished is that more time and energy is wasted while everyone gropes the elephant.  

The reason we don't have any courts is that we haven't been acting in our rightful capacity as Lawful People (we were unaware that we had been "redefined" as "Legal Persons" ) and we have not, as a result, provided ourselves with the Lawful Courts we are owed under the Constitutions.  

That's right.  We have been defrauded, that's true, and we have every right to bring claims and take action.  

But at the other end of the day, our lack of an honest court system for the service of Lawful People is our own fault.  We are the ones we have been waiting for. 

There is a Lawful System.  We have to build it back up. 

There is a Legal System.  They own it "in our names".  

Deal with the facts, folks.  

We are naturally Lawful Persons known as "People", but when we are just babes in our cradles, the perpetrators of the Great Fraud sneak in, get our 

mothers to sign undisclosed contracts, and use that as the basis to redefine us as Legal Persons, instead. 

No notice is given, so of course, you are unaware and unable to rebut their legal presumption  and deceitfully fabricated evidence (the Birth Certificate) that you are acting as a "Legal Person" and not a "Lawful Person".  

That is, until now, when you have all been given not only the history of how this came to be, but also the tools you need to correct the situation and reclaim your status as a Lawful Person and one of the People of this country. 

Go to: www.annavonreitz.com and scroll down to Article 928. 

There is a logic to be observed.  There are Lawful People living under the Public Law of this country, and those Lawful People are owed all the Lawful Money and Actual Assets, and they are also the ones owed all Lawful Relief and Remedy as well.  

Legal Persons have no such rights nor property interests. 

Underline that statement, put it in large boldface letters in your mind.  Think about it.  Think about what it implies.  If you don't get busy and reclaim your lawful birthright political status, you stand to be cheated out of your birthright and sold a bowl of porridge in purportedly equitable exchange. 

If you want to address the actual problem at its roots and stop flailing away like a flock of disturbed pigeons arguing about elephants, do the paperwork to correct your political status, enter into your Lawful Capacity as one of the Lawful People of this country, join your Lawful State Assembly, and restore your Lawful Counties, Lawful States, and their associated Lawful Courts to serve the needs of the Lawful People.

Your country needs you to wake up --- all the way up.  The watch fires are lit and burning.

Title 50, Sole Relief and Remedy...

Researched by Anna Von Reitz.

 Title 50 has been reworked and recodified many times and every time it is, the "cheese" is moved again, so I understand much of the frustration.  

I am attaching a complete reference to Title 50 [2012] and the "sole relief and remedy" provided by Section 7 (c) and (e). Please post it where people can see with their own eyes?

http://uscode.house.gov/download/annualhistoricalarchives/pdf/2012/2012usc50a.pdf

§ 7 TITLE 50, APPENDIX—WAR AND NATIONAL DEFENSE Page 18 ……of, or for the benefit of an enemy or ally of enemy have any right or remedy against the debtor, obligor, or other person liable to pay, fulfill, or perform the same unless said assignment, indorsement, or delivery was made prior to the beginning of the war or shall be made under license as herein provided, or unless, if made after the beginning of the war and prior to the date of passage of this Act [Oct. 6, 1917], the person to whom the same was made shall prove lack of knowledge and of reasonable cause to believe on his part that the same was made by, from or on behalf of, or on account of, or for the benefit of an enemy or ally of enemy; and any person who knowingly pays, discharges, or satisfies any such debt, note, bill, or other obligation or chose in action shall, on conviction thereof, be deemed to violate section three hereof [section 3 of this Appendix]: Provided, That nothing in this Act [said sections] contained shall prevent the carrying out, completion, or performance of any contract, agreement, or obligation originally made with or entered into by an enemy or ally of enemy where, prior to the beginning of the war and not in contemplation thereof, the interest of such enemy or ally of enemy devolved by assignment or otherwise upon a person not an enemy or ally of enemy, and no enemy or ally of enemy will be benefited by such carrying out, completion, or performance otherwise than by release from obligation thereunder. Nothing in this Act [said sections] shall be deemed to prevent payment of money belonging or owing to an enemy or ally of enemy to a person within the United States not an enemy or ally of enemy, for the benefit of such person or of any other person within the United States, not an enemy or ally of enemy, if the funds so paid shall have been received prior to the beginning of the war and such payments arise out of transactions entered into prior to the beginning of the war, and not in contemplation thereof: Provided, That such payment shall not be made without the license of the President, general or special, as provided in this Act [said sections]. Nothing in this Act [said sections] shall be deemed to authorize the prosecution of any suit or action at law or in equity in any court within the United States by an enemy or ally of enemy prior to the end of the war, except as provided in section ten hereof [section 10 of this Appendix]: Provided, however, That an enemy or ally of enemy licensed to do business under this Act [said sections] may prosecute and maintain any such suit or action so far as the same arises solely out of the business transacted within the United States under such license and so long as such license remains in full force and effect: And provided further, That an enemy or ally of enemy may defend by counsel any suit in equity or action at law which may be brought against him.

The Smelly Roses -- Public Notice and Demand

By Anna Von Reitz

When it comes to talking about money, I still have to overcome waves of cognitive dissonance. Here is a good example of it from Egon von Greyez:

"In the West, ordinary people’s standard of living has been maintained by increasing personal debt and also by governments running ever bigger deficits. These deficits are used for buying the votes of the average citizen to improve the perceived standard of living at the cost of an ever increasing national debt. "

This is an example of what everyone assumes, what everyone believes, and what everyone endlessly prattles--- but, this is not what is directly, observably true. What is true and what you can see for yourself is quite different:

The foreign subcontractors running the Federal Government came in and passed "legal tender" laws, and forced everyone to accept "Notes" --- that is, I.O.U.s --- as money. As a result, you haven't been paid for anything, not your goods, not your labor, for decades. You haven't been allowed access to the corresponding National Credit you have earned, either. This is what causes any "National Debt" --- and it isn't your National Debt.

It's the debt of the Queen and the Popes who created and enforced this system on their Federal Employees, and then failed to ride herd on it.

We, Americans, were supposed to get exemptions and to be able to exercise Mutual Offset Credit Exchanges that were never provided to us. Instead, the vermin instituted a vast identity theft scheme to "redefine" us all as United States Citizens and/or Citizens of the United States, so as to deny us access to the Mutual Offset Credit Exchanges and exemptions we are owed.

Mr. von Greyez has been bamboozled along with everyone else into assuming that we, rank and file Americans, are responsible for this " National Debt" and that it is the result of reckless overspending and under-producing on our part, or, that alternatively, it's all the fault of "useless eaters", all the poor people riding on our Socialist coat-tails....

That's exactly what the perpetrators of this colossal scam wish for us to assume, but we have two eyes and two ears and a brain, don't we?

Look at what has actually happened. We have contributed our goods and labor in exchange for corporate I.O.U.'s since the 1930's and we have never been paid anything for it, not money and not credit, either. That's what the "US National Debt" is--- THEIR debt to us, not our debt to them.

So, the source of the debt and the problem is not reckless overspending on our part and it is not the fault of all the poor people receiving welfare benefits, either.

This whole situation is the fault of the Queen and of the Popes who allowed: (1) the imposition of "Legal Tender" laws on the Federal Employees; (2) the identity theft of Americans and mis-characterization of Americans as either United States Citizens or Citizens of the United States, thereby cheating us out of our exemptions and the Mutual Offset Credit Exchanges we are owed.

These Grafters are running no less than three (3) primary Bunko Schemes at once on the American States and People, all under color of law:

1. Identity Theft --- claiming that we are all either United States Citizens or Citizens of the United States, that is, some species of Federal Employee or Dependent, and amassing falsified registrations and undisclosed contracts as evidence for their False Claims;

2. Credit Fraud --- based on the Identity Theft -- they claim that we are accommodation parties and co-signers allowing them to access our private and public assets as collateral backing their borrowing. They access our credit via a process of "hypothecation of debt" which leaves us totally unaware of what they are doing. They charge our "credit cards" up over the max, then claim bankruptcy protection for themselves, and leave us on the hook as co-signers to pay their debts for them.

3. Abandoned Assets Scheme -- based on Identity Theft -- as a result of mis-characterizing us as United States Citizens or Citizens of the United States, they deny us access not only to any actual payment for our goods and services, they also deny us access to the credit that we earned as a result of their receipt of our goods and services.

Over time, this results in the massive accrual of our National Credit which exactly mirrors their National Debt. Bearing in mind that they have deliberately kept us from accessing this credit via the initial Identity Theft, they then propose to come in and claim that our National Credit is a "gift" to the Church or that it is "Abandoned Assets" left unclaimed by unknown parties who are "lost at sea, presumed dead."

The problem for them is that all of this was completely undisclosed and non-consensual and the result of unconscionable contracting practices and Gross Breach of Trust.

A good 90% of us are not "United States Citizens" nor are we "Citizens of the United States". We were not given full disclosure and were instead deliberately misinformed.

We aren't lost at sea. We are back home, standing on solid ground, and we are claiming all our rights, all our constitutional guarantees, all our assets, including our purloined credit.

That includes all the Historic Trust Money and actual Assets left on deposit with all the various Federal Banks and Savings and Loans across the country and around the world. We are the Priority Creditors and we, the Lawful People, are also the actual Trustees--- not the Bank Trustees. Not, in other words, Kim Gougen, and not, for example, Manna World Holdings Trust. Not Karen Hudes and any Dropbox created to bail out the criminals at the World Bank, either.

This is Public Notice and Demand:

Deposits of actual assets in the possession of commercial banks are lawful goods and can belong only to Lawful People. That means us, the actual Depositors.

Deposits are loans made to banks and are bank liabilities. Our deposits don't belong to the banks, and they are not abandoned assets, and they are not subject to claims by bank creditors. Those actual asset deposits belong to the depositors who are the Primary Creditors of all these banks. Period.

Along with all the other criminal mischief promoted by our Federal Public Servants, both Territorial and Municipal, they have offered to mis-characterize Depositors as United States Citizens and/or Citizens of the United States, too, and thereby offer an excuse for stealing our Trust Deposits and actual assets left on deposit in Federal Banks and Federal Savings and Loans.

The assignment of Bank Trustees by the Bank to oversee these accounts does not mean that the Bank Trustee takes precedent or authority over the actual Private Trustees who made the Deposit, and no phony claim that we are "acting as" United States Citizens or Citizens of the United States can stand in our presence otherwise.

All the phony dossiers that the schemers have created via the IRS are also fully discovered. It turns out that, for example, I am not the manager of a rum distillery in Barbados and I am mad as Hell to discover than any such fanciful "colorable" idea has ever been advanced by any flat-rumped bureaucrat in my employment.

It's time to make a deal or sit down and shut up. The Sword of Truth hangs over all your heads. The People --- not only of this country --- but the whole world, are now fully informed.

The Existential Problem

By Anna Von Reitz

People often ask me --- how did all this get started?  

My mind reels.  Adam and Eve, I think gloomily.  But it is nothing so poetic. 

It's just the facts of our life cycle.  It takes a long time to produce a fully functioning, educated, morally and emotionally sound, intellectually complete man or woman, and a lot of hard work, time, money, and effort to produce this result.   

Then, there are those who --- one way or another --- are hurt, damaged, unable to function and support themselves.  They need care, therapy, assistance of all kinds, too.

Finally, we have the seniors, who after working all their lives, are suffering the pains and problems of old age.  Eventually, if we live long enough, we all need help just to get out of bed and eat and get to the bathroom and do our laundry and all the most mundane things.  

This is the reality.  The 'burden" of the young, the old, the sick, the crippled, the mentally ill, the addicted, and everyone else who simply cannot or will not contribute, is all resting on those of us who are able to work and care and think and contribute, and that slice of the population -- about 35% of us --- has to pay for and carry all the rest.  

That is the existential problem.  

This is what the Church has struggled with for centuries.  How do you get people to do the right thing?  

Left to themselves, people are mostly too selfish to provide enough money to feed and clothe and care for and educate orphaned children and abandoned elderly, too busy working for their own benefit and survival to take on the extra load of the sick and mentally ill, the victims of accident and those who have incapacitated themselves with drugs and other addictions. 

Above and beyond this reality, there is the constant need to build and maintain infrastructure --- roads and communications and ports and all the rest of the physical structure and service delivery systems that make life pleasant and business possible.  

So -- how to take care of people who need help, which is the duty of any decent culture, while at the same time building, expanding, and maintaining infrastructure and service systems?  

It's a tall order. 

For centuries the Church attempted to do this via voluntary collections and donations and "tithes" which are essentially taxes on parishioners, and also added in the volunteer work of the clergy and members of churches who contributed their time and labor and expertise for free. 

But now it's time to rethink everything that has gone before.  

The corporations of this world owe the people of this world, and it's payback time. The stellar operating feature of the Corporate Feudalism we have suffered is the amassing of gigantic Slush Funds that generate large amounts of profit and which allow for coercive control of commerce.  

So, why not re-task these Slush Funds to earn money to pay for all the existential needs we have --- set the people free and let the corporations be the slaves?  Lift the burden off our shoulders and let the earnings of these already amassed Slush Funds go to new purposes?  Existential purposes.
