Instruction on the Festival of Pentecost

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

What festival is this?

It is the day on which the Holy Ghost descended in the form of fiery tongues, upon the apostles and disciples, who with Mary, the Mother of Jesus, were assembled in prayer in a house at Jerusalem. (Acts II.)

Why is this day called Pentecost?

The word "Pentecost" is taken from the Greek, and signifies fifty. As St. Jerome explains it, this was the last of the fifty days, commencing with Easter, which the early Christians celebrated as days of rejoicing at the resurrection of the Lord.

Why is this day observed so solemnly?

Because on this day the Holy Ghost, having descended upon the apostles, the law of grace, of purification from sin, and the sanctification of mankind, was for the first time announced to the world; because on this day the apostles, being filled with the Holy Ghost, commenced the work of purifying and sanctifying mankind, by baptizing three thousand persons who were converted by the sermon of St. Peter; and because on this day the Church of Jesus became visible as a community to the world, and publicly professed her faith in her crucified Saviour.

Why did the Holy Ghost descend on the Jewish Pentecost?

Because on their Pentecost the Jews celebrated the anniversary of the giving of the law on Mount Sinai, and God would show by sending the Holy Ghost on this days that the Old Law had ceased and the New Law commenced. God also chose this time, that the Jews who on this day came together from all countries to Jerusalem to celebrate the Pentecost, might be witnesses of the miracle, and hear the New Law announced by the apostles.

Why is the baptismal font blessed an the vigil of Pentecost, as on Holy Saturday?

Because the Holy Ghost is the Author of all sanctity and the Fountain of baptismal grace, and because in the Acts (i. 5.) the descent of the Holy Ghost itself is called a baptism.

In the Introit of the Mass the Church rejoices at the descent of the Holy Ghost and sings:

INTROIT The Spirit of the Lord hath filled the whole earth, allel.; and that which containeth all things hath knowledge of the voice, Allel., allel., allel. (Wisd. I.7.) Let God arise, and his enemies be scattered: and let them that hate him, fly before his face. (Ps. 67.) 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 God, who on this day didst instruct the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit: grant us in the same spirit to relish what is right, and ever to rejoice in His consolation. Through our Lord Jesus Christ Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee, in the Unity of the same Holy Ghost, God, world without end, Amen.

LESSON (Acts II. I-II.) When the days of Pentecost were accomplished, they were all together in one place; and suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a mighty wind coming, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. And there appeared to them parted tongues as it were of fire, and it sat upon every one of them:. and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they began to speak with divers tongues, according as the Holy Ghost gave them to speak. Now there were. dwelling at Jerusalem, Jews, devout men, of every nation under heaven. And when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded in mind, because that every man heard them speak in his own tongue: and they were all amazed, and wondered, saying: Behold, are not all these that speak Galileans? And how have we heard every man our own tongue wherein we were born? Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea, and Cappadocia, Pontus, and Asia, Phrygia, and Pamphilia, Egypt, and the parts of Lybia about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews also and Proselytes, Cretes and Arabians: we have heard them speak in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.

Why did the Holy Ghost come upon the apostles in the form of fiery tongues?

The appearance of fiery tongues indicated the gift of language imparted to the apostles by the Holy Ghost, and inflamed their hearts and the hearts of the faithful with the love of God and their neighbor.

Why did a mighty wind accompany the descent?

To direct the attention of the people to the descent of the Holy Ghost, and to assemble them to hear the sermon of the Apostle Peter.

What special effects did the Holy Ghost produce in the apostles?

He freed them from all doubt and fear; gave them His light for the perfect knowledge of truth; inflamed their hearts with the most ardent love, and incited in them the fiery zeal for the propagation of the kingdom of God, strengthened them to bear all sufferings and persecutions, (Acts V. 41.) and gave them the gift of speaking in various languages, and of discerning spirits.

GOSPEL (John XIV. 23-31,) At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: If any one love me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and will make our abode with him. He that loveth me not, keepeth not my words: and the word which you have heard is not mine, but the Father's, who sent me. These things have I spoken to you, abiding with you: but the Paraclete, the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring all things to your mind, whatsoever I shall have said to you. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, do I give unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid. You have heard that I said to you, I go away, and I come unto you. If you loved me, you would indeed be glad, because I go to the Father; for the Father is greater than I. And now I have ;told you before it came to pass, that when it shall come to pass you may believe. I will not now speak many things with you; for the prince of this world cometh, and in me he hath not anything. But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father hath givers me commandment, so do I.

Why is the Holy Ghost expressly called "Holy," since this attribute is due to each of the divine persons?

Because He is the Author of inward sanctity and of all supernatural gifts and graces, and therefore to Him is especially ascribed the work of man's sanctification.

What does the Holy Ghost effect in man?

He enlightens him that he may know the truths of religion and salvation, and the beauty of virtue; He moves him to desire, to aim after and to love these things; He renews his heart by cleansing it from sin, and imparts to him the supernatural gifts and graces by which he can become sanctified, and He brings forth in him wonderful fruits of holiness.

What are the gifts of the Holy Ghost?

According to the Prophet Isaias they are seven: 1.The gift of wisdom, which enables us to know God, to esteem spiritual more than temporal advantages, and to delight only in divine things. 2. The gift of understanding, by which we know and understand that which our faith proposes to our belief; children and adults should pray fervently for this gift, especially before sermons and instructions in the catechism. 3.The gift of counsel, which gives us the knowledge necessary to direct ourselves and others when in doubt, a gift particularly necessary for superiors, for those about choosing their state of life, and for married people who live unhappily, and do not know how to help themselves. 4. The gift of fortitude, which strengthens us to endure and courageously overcome all adversities and persecutions for virtue's sake. 5. The gift of knowledge, by which we know ourselves, our duties, and how to discharge them in a manner pleasing to God. 6. The gift of piety, which induces us to have God in view in all our actions, and infuses love in our hearts for His service. 7. The gift of the fear of the Lord, by which we not only fear the just punishment, but even His displeasure at every sin, more than all other things in the world.

Which are the fruits of the Holy Ghost?

As St. Paul (Gal. V.. 22-23.) enumerates them, they are twelve: 1. Charity. 2. Joy. 3. Peace. 4. Patience. 5. Benignity. 6. Goodness. 7. Longanimity. 8. Mildness. 9. Faith. 10. Modesty. 11. Continency. 12. Chastity. To obtain these fruits as well as the gifts of the Holy Ghost, we should daily say the prayer: 

COME, Holy Ghost, into the hearts of Thy faithful, and kindle in them the fire of Thy love. 

  V. Send forth Thy Spirit, and they shall be created; 

   R. And Thou shalt renew the face of the earth.

Let Us Pray 

      O God, Who didst instruct the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant us by the gift of the same Spirit we may be always truly wise, and ever rejoice in His consolation. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Why does Christ say: The Father is greater than I?

Christ as God is in all things equal to His Father, but as Christ was at the same time Man, the Father was certainly greater than the Man-Christ.

Why does Christ say: I will not now speak many things with you?

Christ spoke these words a short time before His passion, and by them He wished to say that the time was near at hand when Satan, by his instruments, the wicked Jews, would put Him to death, not because Satan had this power over Him, but because He Himself wished to die in obedience to the will of His Father.

A Word to John Best

By Anna Von Reitz

This is an official comment, directly from Anna von Reitz. John, with all due respect, your comments are all wrong. First of all, you talk about "We, the People" as many patriots do, without bothering to discover who or what the "People" being referenced are. Notice that the word "people" is capitalized? That "P" is there for a reason. The reason is that the "People" being referenced are acting in a specific capacity --- as the Lawful People governing the States of the Union. Correcting our political status records and acting in that capacity to assemble our actual States of the Union as "People" is exactly what I am teaching people to do ---contrary to your suppositions. I am, in fact, putting the pieces together to unite the People of this country to lawfully and peacefully self-govern. That is what The American States Assembly is all about.

I am teaching people the basics of how their government is supposed to be organized and I am pointing out the necessity of finishing the long overdue "reconstruction" of the Federal States of States. There is nothing "nonsensical" about it. It's the proper and lawful and established way for us to organize ourselves and conduct our own government and direct our own business. You suggest that we somehow use The Declaration of Independence to "remove our government" --- but it's not our government sitting in Washington, DC. Our government at the Federal level has been moth-balled for 150 years. What needs to happen is for our actual Government --- of the people, for the people, by the people --- to wake up and get organized and do the actual work of self-governance. All that we could do by "exercising" The Declaration of Independence is create another bloody war and blame others for our own ignorance and sloth and as you put it, "mind-numbing stupidity". Granted that we have been deceived and suffered constructive fraud, identity theft, Breach of Trust and a host of other evils, but also note that we were not awake enough nor motivated enough to do anything effective to prevent or even protest these crimes until now. For the most part, we have just trundled along under the lash of the tyrants and gone, "Oh, ho, hum, well, that's the way it is...." and paid more taxes and put up with more harassment until it has finally come to this. Be assured that this is not a "lie" and not a matter of "law". It is a matter of fact. Calling me a "liar" because I am not preaching insurrection against what is masquerading as "our" government is extremely irritating, most especially because I am not lying and am in fact offering the only course of action that doesn't lead to violence. 

To finish this comment --- our opponents in this game would just LOVE for us to blunder into their trap and "start something". They have been trying to get some kind of violent insurrection going for years.

They have tried all the motivators there are ---- race, religion, politics, false flags, you name it, and they have been trying to gin up something that would cause riots and other disturbances that they could use as an excuse to attack us all. Why? Because we are their Priority Creditors.

They owe us an unimaginably large amount of Credit and also unimaginably large amounts of actual assets. They don't want to pay us back. They want to kill us off instead, which is exactly what they have prepared for with 800 FEMA Camps and millions of body bags and 30,000 guillotines. Simply killing their Priority Creditors helps and enriches them in many ways. First, they don't have to pay anything back --- not the credit, not the assets, and not the interest. Second, they get to come in and claim all the "abandoned assets" of their victims -- our land, our homes, our businesses, our public facilities, everything. Third, they get to claim all the "Life Force Value Annuities" and Life Insurances they have placed on each and every one of us. Fourth, they get to charge the survivors for the "service" of killing us. This is why it is emphatically necessary for us to NOT give them any reason to do what they want to do. This is why we must follow the lawful path and do the work and give them no excuse.

States vs. States of States

By Anna Von Reitz

Why, you might ask yourselves, was it necessary for the fledgling government of this country to create multiple organizations of states?  

We have the Union, The United States, formed of republican states occupying the national soil jurisdiction of this country.  

We have the Federation, The United States of America, formed of Sovereign States occupying the international jurisdiction of the land and sea.  

We have a Confederation of States of States, the States of America, formed of commercial corporations, occupying the global jurisdiction of the air.  

If you look at this list you will see the answer.  Each of these different organizations--- The United States, The United States of America, and the States of America----  all serve in different capacities and occupy different jurisdictions.  

Their member "states" are different in nature, too.   The national-level republican states and the international States of the Union are defined by physical borders, but the global States of States represented by the States of America Confederation are commercial corporations.   

So as you can see, each one of these organizations operate in profoundly different capacities and in different jurisdictions.  A state is not the same as a State, and a State is not a State of State [Confederate State]. 

We rarely have a reason to differentiate between our states and our States, because soil and land jurisdictions work so closely together that the evidence of one is evidence of the other.  General Session Laws of the State are supposed to reflect the will of the republican state and people, whereas State of State Statutes are supposed to "codify" and regulate the operations of the Territorial Government and their corporate personnel on our shores.  

An important distinction needs to be made here and underlined in Day-Glo Orange Highlighter.  

A State is corporate in that it is partially fictional by virtue of having a name --- say, Wisconsin---- but it is a free-standing entity that is physically defined, much as a man named Thomas Tinker is a free-standing entity that is physically defined. Neither Wisconsin nor Thomas Tinker is incorporated as part of some greater entity.  

In keeping with the Law of Kinds, a State like Wisconsin, is operated by People, like Thomas Tinker. 

A State of State, like the State of Wisconsin,  may be incorporated (chartered) by the greater, free-standing entity --- the State, which is what our original plan was when the Confederation of States was formed.  

Or, a State of State could also be chartered by a foreign government --- and merely set in place as a "service provider" which is in fact what has gone on here since the Civil War, when the British Government secretively came in here and arbitrarily put a Scottish corporation in charge of our State of State administration "for" us. 

States are sovereign entities; States of States, by definition, are not.  

Under the constitutional agreements, our States agreed not to operate directly as States of States, which is also part of the reason that we can be absolutely sure that none of our actual States were involved in the Civil War, which was a commercial mercenary fight among commercial corporations--- States of States, which are also called "Confederate States" even though they are not actually States at all.   

Since World War II we have further compounded the confusion between States and States of States by allowing the deployment of Municipal STATES OF STATES on our shores.  These incorporated franchises are totally foreign and are chartered by foreign governments in the business of providing essential government services.  

That is, the STATE OF WASHINGTON is not chartered by nor operating under the auspices of Washington, the State.  It is a franchise of the foreign Municipal United States Government and its infamous District of Columbia Municipal Corporation, dba, the UNITED STATES.  

So, we have our native States which are corporate, but not incorporated, which are sovereign free-standing entities with physically-defined borders, and then, we have a plethora of foreign "service organizations" operating as Territorial States of States and Municipal STATES OF STATES, none of which are actually chartered by our States. 

This is not the way our government is supposed to be organized or operated. 

What should happen in a sane world is that the State, such as Georgia, charters a State of State and incorporates it to conduct business for Georgia.  

The original States of State were put out of commission by the Civil War and never "reconstructed" which has led to this situation wherein foreign Territorial and Municipal franchise organizations have been here on our soil conducting business "for" us and recklessly spending our money and credit as if we ever authorized them to do this.  

To solve this conundrum requires us to organize our actual States of the Union and to act in our capacity as the People of this country, and to finish the so-called "Reconstruction" that has been pending since the end of the Civil War.  

Put simply, the People of Georgia need to re-charter The State of Georgia to conduct business for them.  

We have been hampered from doing this necessary work by the foreign-chartered government services organizations on our shores arbitrarily conferring citizenship obligations upon us.  The British Territorial States of States claim that we are United States Citizens.  The Municipal STATES OF STATES claim that we are Citizens of the United States.  

It is up to us to thumb our noses at these patently false presumptions and tell our subcontractors and their employees that no, in fact, we are State Citizens and nothing else: Virginians, Californians, Minnesotans and so on, for each of the fifty States of the Union. 

It is also up to us to act in our own best interests and explicitly return to the land and soil jurisdiction of our States which is our natural home --- and deny them any excuse for their insupportable presumptions.

52nd Anniversary of Israel’s Attack on the USS Liberty

Israel Is a Dictatorship, Not a Democracy

Paul Craig Roberts

Two days ago the US celebrated the 75th anniversary of D-Day with accolades to the armed forces and thanks to surviving veterans.  The country stood strongly with the military.  But today two days later is the 52nd anniversary of a day of shame when Washington turned its back on the US Navy.

The Act of 1871 -- A Correct Analysis by Team Law

By Anna Von Reitz

With all the hub-bub about The Act of 1871 circulating in the patriot community, I felt it was time to re-publish (for about the tenth time) the actual breakdown of what happened to The Act of 1871 after its initial repeal in 1874 ----- and to publish again  the correct analysis of it all by Team Law, which was finished some years ago:

1871 - Act of 1871 ---“An Act to provide a Government for the District of Columbia,” ch. 62, 16 Stat. 419, February 21, 1871 ---which was repealed in 1874 and then passed piecemeal via these actions---- “An Act Providing a Permanent Form of Government for the District of Columbia,” ch. 180, sec. 1, 20 Stat. 102, June 11, 1878, to remain and continue as a municipal corporation (brought forward from the Act of 1871, as provided in the Act of March 2, 1877, amended and approved March 9, 1878, Revised Statutes of the United States Relating to the District of Columbia . . . 1873–’74 (in force as of December 1, 1873), sec. 2, p. 2); as amended by the Act of June 28, 1935, 49 Stat. 430, ch. 332, sec. 1 (Title 1, Section 102, District of Columbia Code (1940)).

When looking at the intent of all this, given that the actual District of Columbia was set up in 1790 and fully chartered by 1801, the aim of the Act of 1871 is, it appears, merely to set up “U.S. Corp”---

“That all that part of the territory of the United States included within the limits of the District of Columbia be, and the same is hereby, created into a government by the name of the “District of Columbia”, by which name it is hereby constituted a body corporate for municipal purposes … and exercise all other powers of a municipal corporation.” – Act of 1871 verbiage---

So the Act of 1871 was to create a private corporation owned by the actual government of the District of Columbia--- the infamous District of Columbia Municipal Corporation: 

“Further, the only government created in that Act was the same form of private government any private corporation has within the operation of its own corporate construct....... U.S. Corp  is not merely an incorporated municipality (District of Columbia); rather, it is a private corporation (District of Columbia Municipal Corporation) that was lawfully created by our original jurisdiction government.” ---- Team Law analysis.

Dog Report and La-La-Land Again

By Anna Von Reitz

In all my life I can only remember one rainy birthday.  The first week of June is usually like the weather of charmed Camelot, with wild roses in bloom, strawberries ripening in the sun, and blue skies.  It was certainly that way on my birthday this year and again, today. 

One of my college chums sent me a gorgeous bouquet of roses and Gerbera Daisies and stocks. I charmed the guests with my pound cake and fresh strawberries and fresh raspberries (your choice) and whipped cream in lieu of a traditional birthday cake.  

I have my own world and time, when everything is perfect and the music is gentle and the wine is smooth and everyone smiles because the purity of the day is so undeniable and sweet. 

It's a great time of year to have a birthday--- after school is out, before the weather gets too hot.  

The only sad note to a June 6 birthday is remembering D-Day; because of that long shadow, it is a memorial day of its own.  There's a quiet to it, an echo of cemeteries instead of brass bands. A time of remembrance, I used to say, 

and not just of a year gone by, or the passing of my time. I stood in the doorway as the wind was rising and listened to Pavarotti.  

Evening came and storm clouds gathered in the East, soon there was lightening and thunder and pouring rain, and I went to sleep, snug and warm in my bed, listening to the rain on the roof, smelling the fresh cool wind, feeling blessed. 

My dog, who has survived so much, is recovering nicely from surgery and our primary concern remains keeping him quiet long enough to actually heal.  His nature as a Labrador Retriever is so exuberant --- his tail wags SO hard --- it's difficult to keep him calm enough, even with the sedatives the vet provides.  If he makes it through the next two weeks, we can start to breathe easier ourselves and count the operation a success.  By all means, keep the prayers and good thoughts coming. 

With love and blessings and lots of rest the next two weeks, he can hope for a few years more of bumping along at my side, and snoozing with his nose on my foot as I sit at my desk --- his proven method of knowing whenever I go anywhere or do anything, the signal for him to get up and follow me wherever I might go.  This morning, only two days out of surgery, he was ready to hop in my old Suburban, otherwise known as The Dog Car, and go snoop around at the world. 

Tonight, I pour a little oil of lavender and oil of marjoram into my palms and rub it on the fur of his golden ruff, and sense how the smell relaxes him and bids him to rest and to sleep, rest and sleep.  That is about all he can do or should do for the next two weeks. 

Also tonight, I was amused to read a long and rambling expose by Sun-Tzu, who still imagines himself to be Jesus and who just discovered the infamous Act of 1871.  

How many generations of American Patriots will it take to realize that the Act of 1871 was repealed in 1874?   How often must we learn how it was passed piecemeal and how the rats finally achieved their aims in 1878?   And then, too, how long before the worthwhile message of his meanderings comes through? 

Yes, they incorporated everything, including the Church.  They reduced life to business franchises, dead things without souls, without mercy: eating machines locked into a single inflexible purpose: profit, profit, profit, profit at any cost, profit by any means, including war.  

So now they have their profit, but not their souls, their corruption but not their names.

A Spiritual War

By Anna Von Reitz

It has been said many times, many ways, and it is clearly stated in the Bible.  We do not struggle against flesh, but against the Spirit of Evil; all that the Spirit of Evil makes incarnate is like itself: deceptive, illusory, unreal, and yet having a form.  

Consider that the Holy Spirit brings forth its children and its fruits in the same way, except that what it makes incarnate is like itself: honest, true, imbued with endless power derived from our Creator. 

The Spirit of Evil thrives on secrecy, deceit, and distortion. 

The Holy Spirit thrives on transparency, truth, and clarity.  

It is really as simple as that, and the only thing holding Mankind back, is fear.  

It takes courage to embrace the Holy Spirit and more courage to live our lives without fear, but it can be done.  

Fear and lies are the greatest weapons of our opponents--- fear which keeps us from acting upon our convictions and lies that keep us from knowing the truth and acting appropriately, so that our efforts are wasted. 

Those who would keep us enslaved seek to keep us confused and misinformed, wish us to cling to our own chains and believe in secrets and in money.  If you are ready to move on, then come along. 

Admit that time does not exist.  There is only now.  

Admit that money does not exist.  It is only a symbol of value. 

Admit that secrets don't exist. Everything is known. 

Admit and know that the Holy Spirit within you is unimaginably powerful, that love is the true currency of the Universe, and that your strength lies far beyond your physical body in the realm of the spirit and the mind. 

If you will overcome the Spirit of Evil, you must overcome both delusion and fear. 

You have heard it said that in these days we will contest with Evil in High Places, and you have known that the Evil One would be released for a short time before the end of this world as we have known it.  Do not despair and do not be troubled; all these things that are happening must happen; rather, put on the full armor of God and His Peace which passes all understanding. 

Redouble your efforts to dissolve the Great Seals and gently release the pent up energies of the Earth.  Feel them beginning to flow as they should.  Release all your bad memories and traumas and grudges and losses and heartaches.  Let them go. 

Over the past six months I have been dredging up a lot of "gunk" --- hurts, disappointments, losses --- examining them like objects, like bad teeth that have been extracted, no longer able to cause any pain--- objects that I am looking at before throwing them away.  

They were part of my life once, but they are baggage now --- baggage that I am not taking with me into tomorrow or next week or next year.  These painful things, these injuries, are like they happened to someone else.

I step back from them.  I see them for what they are, and I let them go. Old knee injury?  Gone.  Supremely embarrassing moments?  Gone.  Lost loves?  Gone. Vain regrets?  Gone.  Consuming anger?  Gone.  Might-have-beens?  Gone. 

And with each thing you toss away, your soul becomes lighter and stronger.

We are like fractured crystals --- all this pain, all these injuries --- have served their purpose: to break us, so that we can capture and disperse more light, but having served their purpose, they can go now. 

This week let the pain go.  Release it into the void somewhere beyond yesterday.  Go with me to my Happy Place, if you don't have a Happy Place of your own.  

My Happy Place is a meadow with a cool, clean, fast-flowing shallow stream flowing through it.  There is soft grass and small prairie flowers in the meadow itself, birds in the trees along the banks, and the sand and small gravel of the stream bed is soft and clean underfoot..... I just wade out in the middle of the stream and let the water carry away all my sadness, all my weariness, all my pain. I watch the tiny fish darting here and there.  I see the dragonflies hovering above the yellow pond lilies growing in a small pool just downstream.  It's early afternoon in Midsummer and the hot sun is nicely balanced by a cool wind and the cool water.  

It's just a little old farm place in the Midwest.  Nothing grand, no palaces, no buildings at all, but I am perfectly at peace there, and eternally renewed.  

Take some time to go to your Happy Place this week.  Seek the lightening of your load and the renewal of your spirit.  Remember what matters and let all the rest of it go.  

In this way, and by making this your practice, you will be constantly restored and renewed, set free of past suffering, ready and able to accept new blessings and new opportunities without being burdened or afraid.

Remembering RB Young

By Anna Von Reitz

When I remember RB I remember his voice late at night discussing points of Law and history, religion, military protocol, foreign relations--the entire depth of life and our mutual endeavor -- which is nothing more or less than the quest for justice, decency, and freedom for Mankind. 

He died a year ago today, unexpectedly, of "natural causes" that the coroner could not describe or explain. It seems that a diver's embolism that should have killed him twenty years ago, finally caught up with him in Whitefish, Montana, the best part of a thousand miles from the sea. 

Go figure. He would have smiled and told us there is a plan and meaning and a timing for all this, and for each one of us.  

A time and a season and a season and a time, he'd say. 

RB had died before so he wasn't afraid of death.  He told me he had a Mission since his Near Death Experience (NDE) and this was it-- to call people home, to protect them with the truth, and finish the long labor of research he took on in the years after his diving accident. 

He worked hard over the Memorial Day Weekend last year, put on the after-burners and really pushed. He was tired at the end of it, but called me up sounding relieved and told me it was over, and done, and he'd completed everything. 

He hit the send button and it went off through the cyberspace to me and several others to review. 

I heard once more from him a couple days later, and he said he was looking forward to a rest --and then came the news that he was gone. 

Our plan, for him to come to Alaska and talk shop and tromp around the Great Land, never happened. 

It would have been a respite and a thank you for all his work and research, but looking back, I know he had a different journey in mind. 

Imagine my surprise and delight when his adopted son showed up this spring and we were able to share a little bit of Alaska with him? 

It's all right. It all comes full circle. 

RB didn't make it up here to visit, but he sent his son on the Alaskan adventure in his place and the legacy of a good man still runs true, a blessing for us all. 

Somewhere in Montana high on a mountain slope, his son let go of his ashes today. A little bit of closure came. Here in Alaska, we raised a toast as the sun went down. I sat staring into the flames of a fire until the embers were cold, then shook myself like an old owl fluffing her feathers, and all alone with the sorrow, sauntered home. 

RB was a younger heir of the Montana Freemen, among those who first realized that something was drastically wrong with our country, and who set off down the road to find out what went wrong, where, when, and why. 

As a result of so much work by so many good people, we finally have the answers.  

Rest In Peace, RB, among your brothers, the other Marines who went before and did their work and didn't complain or quit-- not even when they found themselves outnumbered and betrayed.  

God bless you, and yours, RB, and all the good men of this country who have lived their lives and contributed unselfishly to others. Semper Fi, dear friend. We miss you.

Impersonation -- The Cause of World War I

By Anna Von Reitz

Obviously, someone with a Given Name like "Anna Maria Wilhelmina Hanna Sophia Riezinger - von Reitzenstein von Lettow-Vorbeck"  is not (and is not claiming to be) Jane Smith. 

My ancestry is what it is, and for the most part, I am proud of it.  The story of our family weaves back and forth across the Atlantic for centuries.  I can easily prove ancestors in America prior to the Revolution.  Also, obviously, I grew up in America and love this country and consider myself an American.

So did George Washington, who was a cousin of King George.

Just because we have familial relationships that span oceans and continents does not mean that we are disloyal to the land that bears us, nor does having "royal" or "noble" blood suggest that we are part of the problem. 

Not all of the Royals failed humanity.  Not all of them sold their souls for the Rothschild's profits.  Not all of them were deceived by the fornication of the Church.  Notably, the Prussians and the Russians, stood firm. 

It may have escaped everyone's notice, but Kaiser Wilhelm II was a Protestant King and Czar Nicholas was Russian Orthodox. 

They opposed the British return to Babylon and Queen Victoria's "adultery of Mankind" -- the enfranchisement (meaning incorporation) of living men so as to render them mere "things" and also opposed the "securitization" of living flesh-- on religious grounds.

There are many scriptural references in primarily the Old Testament, but also in the New Testament, warning us against the use of "persons", telling us that God does not "respect" them, condemning "personhood" and in James 2:9 flatly telling us that we cannot be part of these practices without sin:

"But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors."

Please note that to this day, when pirates come ashore they are said to be "trespassing" upon us, but when the opposite happens, and landsmen invade the ships dry docked in port or at sea, it is called "transgression". 

As a result of this scriptural indictment and those numerous examples in the Old Testament, truly Christian Kings could not support any British scheme to profit from impersonating living people and were and are still obligated to protect against it. 

For all those who felt (as I did) that the assassination of one Archduke was a petty provocation to start World War I, or that even jealousy over the Kaiser's navy was insufficient to explain what happened --- look again.

Queen Victoria succumbed to the lure of the profit to be made from impersonating living men in the 1860's--- and profit she did.  She used the credit gained from enslaving the English population by "enfranchising" them to enslave the Indian Subcontinent. 

Encouraged by this, Queen Victoria and her Ministers and her Successors rapidly expanded this practice of impersonating living men as corporate franchises and "securitizing" their assets as chattel backing the Royal Credit throughout the Commonwealth and imposed --- totally illegally and immorally --- the same scheme in America.

Her chief opponents in this rampant criminality serving to enslave and profit from her own subjects in a devious and diabolical way, were the German Kaiser and the Russian Czar, both of whom raised religious and moral objections.

That is what led to World War I: the stubborn refusal of the Germans and the Russians to take part in the identity theft-impersonation and credit fraud scam promoted by the British and the Holy Roman Empire, on moral and scriptural grounds.

Put bluntly, the Roman Catholic Church did "fornicate" with the bankers and the renegade royals by getting involved in the whole business of defining and managing and promoting corporations -- that is, "persons" and then allowing these practices to be grossly abused to seize the assets of living men and women for use as chattel property, thereby enslaving the population of the entire Earth. 

The Roman Catholic Church, or to be more specific, its "Secular Office" running the Holy Roman Empire side of things, is revealed to be The Great Whore, and cannot be anything else: they have promoted and facilitated and failed to object to this entire abuse --- and the Biblical injunctions and the Treaties and the high-sounding United Nations Declarations have been standing against them the whole time.

It is as wrong now and as forbidden in scripture now as it was in the 1840's when all of this began to gain traction.

And all of the Sons of Abraham of all three major western religions -- Judaism, Islam, and Christianity -- are obligated to stand against it.

My relatives, the Archdukes of Mecklenburg-von Strelitz and the House of Romanov, did stand against it. 

Not all the Royals failed, but just like the startling news that you are not all "United States Citizens" nor "Citizens of the United States" --- comes the equally startling news that America backed the wrong horse in 1917.  We should have come in and finished the job that the Kaiser and Czar Nicholas started. 

Had the Czar lived, we could have been living in a much different and better world.  Instead, we all had to suffer through World War II and the Communist Era and now this. 

We could have saved ourselves and everyone else the trouble of World War II and the entire Mess that the world is in right now, simply by cleaning out the Church and exposing the villains and the "Holy Roman Empire" for what it is.

So here we have a phony Queen, who in proven fact abdicated her Throne within three days of taking her Coronation Vow, and a British Parliament without the guts to enforce the actual law they are always enshrining and prattling about.

And who are they all appealing to for protection?  Donald J. Trump.

And who is Donald J. Trump?   He is President of the United States.

And what is the United States with a small "t" on the "the"? 

The Municipal United States Government--- the independent international City State of Washington DC's government, the franchise of the Holy Roman Empire, the one that is supposed to limit its activities to the ten miles square of the District of Columbia, just like the Vatican Government is supposed to limit its activities to the one square mile of Vatican City. LOL.

And who are they blaming for this debacle?  The Lord Mayor of London.

Bar Members worldwide, did you hear that?  You and the bankers are being fingered for all this rot. Claiming that you were just "following orders" per the Nuremburg Defense is not likely to work, so you had all better take counsel and correct your operations to bring them into accord with the actual Public Law.

It's time for the rest of us, the Silent Majority, to take our Silent Notice of the situation.  That, and alert Donald Trump and the Joint Chiefs of Staff and NATO, so that they are all fully informed and aware that their actions are being scrutinized to within a gnat's eye-lash.

The Roman Curia is on the Hot Seat before God and all Mankind, to repent and take corrective action.  The British Parliament, which is secondarily responsible for this Mess, is also called to account. 

Both are desperately seeking some way out, because they know that they are condemned under the Law of God and the Law of Man; both are resisting the only Law that will allow them to live --- The Law of the Kingdom of Heaven, which has come at last.   

"So oftentimes it happens, that we live our lives in chains, and never even know we have the key....."  --- The Eagles, "Already Gone". 

Special Call Out to my German Readers: my German language skills are pretty rudimentary.  Would some of you undertake the challenge to translate the German Declaration of War in World War I into English for us?

Translation Key For Everyone

By Anna Von Reitz

The United States is the Proper Name of our Union of republican states.

Capital T on The.  

But "the" United States is the Municipal United States, an independent international city state, a franchise of the Holy Roman Empire on our shores. This entity is a plenary oligarchy run by the crooked members of Congress. 

The United States of America is the Proper Name of our Federation of States.  It is an unincorporated business organization of which our States are members. 

Notice again--Capital T on The. 

But "the" United States of America is the name of a British Territorial Government that is responsible for the mutual defense of our States. 

Remember these distinctions so that when you are reading news and other documents you can recognize which entity is actually being referenced---and be less confused.
