The Economics of The Other Great Debate - 2.0

 

By Anna Von Reitz

Meet John Maynard Keynes, the British architect of modern world economic policy, and try not roll your eyes upward toward the blue, blue sky.

The reason I say this is that Keynes came up with a lovely but patently wrong theoretic framework and concept for economic progress in the wake of the Second World War, which involved leveraging assets belonging to the people of this country to provide credit to rebuild all the other countries (Marshall Plan, my ass.) and, here's where it gets hip-wader deep, a constantly and forever expanding world economy.

This was largely based on the presumption that the world's population would continue to expand, and that "perceived needs" could be manipulated and increased via propaganda, to provide such a perennially expanding economy.

This is attractive and exactly what the battered and worn European countries wanted to hear after the Second World War; the American Generals who were sitting on a pile of American assets (garnered from all of us under conditions of Gross Breach of Trust, fraud, and deceit) were ready to invest, and so the deal was done and throughout the world, the name of John Maynard Keynes was heard to resound.

Not so much anymore.

The reason for the failure of Keynesian Economics is as obvious now as it was then:

(1) National and World Economies are the result of beliefs held by, and activities engaged in, by living people, and will forever contract and expand based on changes in those beliefs and activities as well as changes wrought by natural disasters and technological advancements. Read that: a perpetually expanding economy is a pipe dream akin to The Big Rock Candy Mountain.

(2) The Generals were investing money and assets that weren't theirs in investments that amounted to endless Black Holes; once the European nations got access to our credit to rebuild their war damages and pay for their defense, they became a queer combination of dependent and greedy, and wasted no time in "failing their way to success".

The concept of failing one's way to success is best exemplified by the career of General Robert McNamara, whose affable and high-minded personality enabled him to ingratiate himself despite having no talent at all at managing a business, and whose sense of timing enabled him to always exit his disasters right before the ax fell.

In the same way, the nations of Europe that became dependent on American largess in the wake of WWII, deliberately milked it above and beyond any sense or reason, and when they had succeeded in killing the cash cow, beat a hasty retreat and have attempted to wash their hands of the results.

One pregnant example of this is the fact that most European countries have spent 2-4% of their own money on their own defense for the past 75 years, the actual tab being picked up by "the Americans" and charged to us by U.S. Territorial Generals, who were also ---- of course ---- profiting themselves mightily by peddling their services as part of this Round Robin of self-interested fraud on the part of all Parties concerned--- except for the actual Americans who were The Goats.

It wasn't until Donald Trump got a look at this that it was even addressed as an issue. Apparently, we are expected to pay the defense costs of Western Europe and most of the rest of the world for eternity, and this is all part of Keynes' half-baked perpetually expanding theory of world economics.

Sooner or later, reality sets in, and as Margaret Thatcher observed-- other people's money runs out. Endless outflow requires at least an equal endless inflow, or the system consumes itself, and as the European nations and members of the former Commonwealth taught the U.S. Generals--- its hard to get inflow from turnips.

So the expense heaped upon us without our knowledge or consent has bankrupted "the US Incorporated" and "the USA Incorporated" --- both, and what we hear from the Generals is either silence or threats. To all appearances, all they have been able to come up with is another half-baked plan to steal the mineral resources of Third World countries and manipulate currency markets.

Now, everyone is looking at us, the Americans, who weren't consulted about any of this, and who never authorized any such deals, as if any of it were our fault and as if we benefited from any of this fraud and Breach of Trust by our Employees.

The first apparent result is that Keynesian Economics is an Epic Fail, and the admission of this fact is seen in the worldwide "Sustainability" Movement.

Someone, somewhere, most likely at the Vatican, jerked awake in the middle of the night and realized that endless, thoughtless, unbridled expansion of the world population is not a good thing --- even though it is required to keep the Keynesian Model going.

Other Parties realized that the efficacy of generating "felt needs" in the American population via endless advertising and propaganda --- and generating sales as a result --- was not enough. Our gross consumerism couldn't, by itself, keep the Keynes Model pumping iron.

And no matter how many juicy hamburgers and jock straps they inserted into the TV programming, and no matter how much fear they generated to promote more government services, things were topping out.

The Law of Diminishing Returns arrived with a thump on September 11, 2001 and the de facto default on Brady Bonds.

This is by far the most theatrical bond default in history, but what can you expect when Hollywood West and Hollywood East (DC) combine their efforts?

The answer of the U.S. Generals on that occasion was the same as it has always been--- more war, more take-overs, more pillaging of the people and resources of other countries --- to prop up their own service contracts and avoid the looming specter of what they call the "real economy".

For the uninitiated, the "real economy" is where we live; the "false economy" is where they live.

The false economy is generated by an endless supply of paper chits issued as U.S. military script, enforced by legal tender laws, based on American credit and backed by American assets, and all predicated upon the unjustified and unjustifiable presumption that we knew about this and approved of it.

However, these Employees who are supposed to act under a very famous and very public contract -- The Constitution of the United States of America --- are not legally or lawfully enabled to act under self-declared but otherwise non-existent "Emergency Powers" to do any of this, and the other Principals exercising our Delegated Powers "for" us, the Pope, the Queen, and the Lord Mayor of London, are all fully aware of these facts.

It's a con game, and a shameful one; and, though perhaps somewhat necessitated at the beginning by the destruction in Europe and Japan and elsewhere caused by WWII, its continuance and all attempts to blame the American victims of all this "US" finagling "in our names" cannot be justified.

So here we come to rebuilding a new economic paradigm. The answer of the Roman Catholic Church, acting in its profane secular capacity? In a word, "Sustainability"-- full stop, reduce the population dramatically by any means fair or foul, circle the wagons and try to come up with new excuses to claim an ownership interest in living people by using patented DNA and RNA inserted into their natural DNA to turn them all into legally-defined GMO Products.

The Church has done some really odious things in its long struggle to impose worldwide poverty --- their answer to The Other Great Debate --- but this one takes the birthday cake.

We are supposed to be good little cows, and as the motto of the BBC loudly proclaims, "Listen and obey." and meekly accept being bankrupted and oppressed by people on our payroll?

Right.

Need we point out that this proposed Second Round is even crazier than John Maynard Keynes?

Not only are the Americans awake now, they have called their actual and properly declared Government into Session to deal with this nonsense. No, we are not remaining silent and complacent. We have been grossly defrauded in Breach of Trust. These criminal acts against a non-combatant civilian population that has been at peace since 1814 cannot be excused as acts of war or waved away as a "mistake" owing no restitution.

Nor can we be induced to "trust" --in any fashion-- those who have brought the world to the brink of this insanity and allow them to act in our behalf or in our names.

We are owed the bulk of everything on this planet and we are not "missing" and cannot be "presumed dead". We are not war-like people, not bent on vengeance; we are far too practical for that, but we do demand fair-minded and practical answers for ourselves and everyone else going forward.

Violence of any kind including weather warfare, lawfare, psyops, civil war, aggression in the Middle East, or aggression against China ---- none of that is justified and we unilaterally oppose it.

It turns out that Jesus has always had the answer, and we have economic models that actually make sense and work, as well as the technology to deliver the benefits to the world. Above and beyond that, our underlying assets and the credit and the profits thereof, belong to us, so we have every right and reason to speak up and tell our employees what we want done.

What we want done is not thus far what they are doing, so unless the other Principals want to be exposed as Hypocrites, Liars, Thieves, Con Artists, Incompetents--- and worse, it's time to direct our Employees according to our Will, and for all of them to fulfill their very public contracts.

We, the actual Americans, shall be securing our assets around the world and taking charge of this nightmare; anyone who wants to oppose us should reflect upon the fact that they are all bankrupt, both in the air and on the sea, and our jurisdiction is the only jurisdiction left that has the assets and insight and ability to sort this madness out without devolving into totalitarianism.

So, if you want abundance and the freedom that goes with it, support us and our actual Government in international jurisdiction, which is our unincorporated Federation of States, doing business since 1776 as The United States of America.

If you want more results from the same "Planners" that brought us to this impasse, support the UN CORP and let them use the United Nations organization as a storefront for ever-increasing criminal activities.

The Other Great Debate 1.0

 

By Anna Von Reitz

We are familiar with the debate set off by the publication of Darwin's Theory of Evolution, but for well over a hundred years prior to that and continuing to the present, there was another such debate raging.

This Other Great Debate arose in the wreckage of the English Civil War, but unlike the debate over Darwinism which was (and is) a very public discourse, this earlier Great Debate was a different kind of ecclesiastical fistacuffs, touching areas that we were not deemed to be sufficiently interested to engage in public debate.

Listen and decide for yourselves if you are sufficiently interested.

This Other Great Debate centered on the existence of poverty. If God loves us, why does he show so little concern for the millions of impoverished, stunted, and miserable people on this planet? Is God a Deadbeat Dad? Or is there some other hidden meaning or benefit to poverty?

The Creationists (not the same Creationists who have disagreed with the conclusions of Darwin, but a name attached to the proponents in this prior debate, too) looked around at the abundance of the Earth and took the stance that if we were impoverished, it was because of our own bone-headed refusal to do the job that our Creator assigned to Adam. If we would act as better caretakers of God's abundant gifts, and share with each other as Jesus commanded us, then all would be well. Poverty as a systemic problem would disappear. Naturally.

Ben Franklin's irreverent reply is still part of modern culture: "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy."

The Opposition, mainly clergy of the Roman Catholic Church, said, but, wait a minute. Our Lord and his Disciples were all mendicants, traveling from town to town, depending on the kindness of others to give them shelter and food. Is this not proof that poverty engenders virtue and is virtuous?

Oddly, after going a few rounds, one discovers that both sides of this argument center around one word: freedom.

There are two ways in which a man can be free. Either he has everything sufficient to support himself and his life and functions in a state of abundance, or, he has nothing, and so, is set free of worldly attachments and concerns.

The Founding Fathers stood with the Creationists and upheld the belief that if we accept "Adam's burdens" and care-taking responsibilities, everything is already divinely set up and ready to produce all the abundance anyone could wish for, and more than enough to provide every man, woman, and child with what they need to live happy and productive lives.

The Roman Catholic Church (and their Holy Roman Empire) took the other tack and adopted "The Doctrine of Scarcity"---attempting to end poverty by deliberately fostering more of it. Their answer to the Other Great Debate was that poverty is virtuous and leads to freedom from worldly cares, so the more poverty, the better.

Are you "burdened down" with your wealth, tired of managing your stock portfolio, yearning to be free of such responsibilities? The Church will take that burden from you, in exchange for food, shelter, and basic medical care.

Enter the modern welfare system and the schmarmy dark world of "social engineering".

In the process of relieving millions upon millions of people of their worldly goods, the Church has become unimaginably wealthy, has created the modern welfare state, and wittingly or unwittingly, also created a system of enslavement to the Church--- because when people are dependent upon you for food, shelter, and medical aid, not to mention, supposedly, the fate of their eternal souls, you exercise immense coercive power over them.

As usual, what started out as good intentions and scripture-based logic on the part of Catholic clergy three centuries ago, has led straight to Hell. While the Doctrine of Scarcity has led to social welfare via a different route than communism, it has had much the same result---- deprivation, suppression of individual motivation and initiative, and misuse of coercive power.

What of the other side of the argument?

We have mixed results. The Founding Fathers were correct that the Earth is more than abundant enough to support us all and provide abundance for everyone. Unfortunately, the moral and educational basis behind their original concept was never brought forward into the popular consciousness. Instead, the opportunity they created was seized upon by Robber Barons.

These men did not embrace the concept of Adam's care-taking role, much less did they embrace Jesus's concept of sharing the benefit of mutually owned resources; instead, these Robber Barons sought possession and control of natural resources for their own profit -- the more exclusive the control and the more monopolized, the better.

Thus we have the specter of giant mining operations in which resources belonging to the entire nation are stripped and used to profit a few, transportation that is controlled and monopolized for profit-taking, electrical and water and waste management utilities that are similarly monopolized for exercise of coercive power and the profit of a few, medical and pharmaceutical industries that are centered on profit instead of health, and so on.

As the only goal of these men and their corporations was profit for themselves and their shareholders, society has suffered as a whole and the Earth has suffered, too.

The Founders were right about our ability to create abundance, but the moral imperative for doing so --- and the envisioned end result, freedom, was lost in the shuffle.

Nobody on the street understood that freedom was the goal and that the creation of abundance was merely a mechanism to create freedom via abundance for Mankind as a whole.

The other part of the Founder's vision was that we could, with sufficient initiative, easily provide ourselves with ample largess, enabling us to support the weak, the old, the sick, the mentally infirm, orphans, and others unable to support themselves -- not with coercive institutionalized welfare, but with love.

In a world of abundance, there is no need to feel burdened by the poor, the young, the old, or the sick. Rather, once set free of the hard-scrabble, we are also set free to open our hearts and to care for those in need in our communities on a private basis.

The Founders took it for granted that from whatever religious or ethnic or racial background we came from, we would at least have the moral and ethical motivation to take care of our own and share our resources within our own communities. Our republican form of government supports and expedites this outcome, by allowing us to marshal both our public and private resources in pursuit of the Public Good.

After 350 years, the results are in and have yet to be tabulated.

Contestant Number One, the Roman Catholic Church through its secular institutions, including the United Nations and its megalomaniac UN CORP, standing for institutionalized poverty, cradle to grave welfare state, the end of private property, universal pauperism, coercive power wielded by the Church using forced dependency and control of access to food, water, shelter, money, and other resources to compel obedience to whatever the Church aka UN planners want.

Contestant Number Two, the American Dream Team, through their individual efforts, vision of freedom through abundance, community spirit, and common sense and enterprise ---- salted down with much-needed control over corporations and a refurbishing of corporate goals and management objectives worldwide. Continuance of private property and private enterprise, community-based welfare, local control of natural resources, and self-governance.

You are the judges. You get to decide the outcome of the Other Great Debate.

Instruction on the Thirteenth Sunday After Pentecost

 Rev. Fr. Leonard Goffine's

The Church's Year

Pray today at the Introit of the Mass with the, Church against her enemies: Have regard, O Lord, to thy conversant, and forsake not to the end the souls of thy poor: arise, O Lord, and judge thy cause, and forget not the voices of them that seek thee. O God, why hast thou cast us off unto the end: why is thy wrath enkindled against the sheep of thy pasture? (Ps. LXXIII.) Glory be to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

COLLECT Almighty and ever­lasting God, give unto us an increase of faith, hope and charity; and that we may obtain that which Thou dost promise, make us to love that which Thou dost command. 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 (Gal. III. 16-22.) Brethren, To Abraham were the promises made, and to his seed. He saith not, And to his seeds, as of many, but as of one: And to thy seed, which is Christ. Now this I say, that the testament which was confirmed by God, the law which was made after four hundred and thirty years doth not disannul, or make the promise of no effect. For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise. But God gave it to Abraham by promise. Why, then, was the law? It was set because of transgressions, until the seed should come to whom he made the promise, being ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. Now a mediator is not of one: but God is one. Was the law, then, against the promises of God? God forbid. For if there had been a law given which could give life, verily justice should have been by the law. But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by the faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

EXPLANATION St. Paul in this epistle proves to the Galatians who were misled by false doctrines, and ad­hered too much to the Jewish Law, that they could be saved only through a lively faith in Christ, enriched by good works. Therefore he says that the great promises, made by God to Abraham, referred to Christ, through whom all nations of the earth, who would believe in Him, would be blessed and saved. (Gen. XII. 3., and XXII. 18.) The law, indeed, does not annul these promises, since it rather leads to their attainment, yet it must be placed after them because of their advantages, nay, even cease to exist, because the promises are now fulfilled, Christ, the promised Messiah, has really, appeared and liberated man, who could not be freed from their sins by the Jewish law.

ASPIRATION O, let us be grateful for this promise, yet more, how­ever, for the Incarnation of Christ, whereby this promise has been fulfilled.

GOSPEL (Luke XVII. 11-19.) At that time, As Jesus was going to Jerusalem, he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee: and as he entered into a certain town, there met him ten men that were lepers, who stood afar off, and lifted up their voice, saying: Jesus, master, have mercy on us. Whom, when, he saw, he said: Go, show yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, that as they went, they were made clean. And one of them, when he saw that he was made clean, went back, with a loud voice glorifying God, and he fell on his face before his feet, giving thanks: and this was a Samaritan. And Jesus answering, said: Were not ten made clean? And where are the nine? There is no one found to return, and give glory to God, but this stranger. And he said to him: Arise go thy way; for thy faith hath made thee whole.

What may be understood by leprosy in a spiritual sense?

Sin, particularly impurity, by which the soul of man is stained much more than is the body by the most horrid leprosy: In the Jewish law (Lev. XIII. ) three kinds of leprosy are enumerated, viz: the leprosy of the flesh, of garments, and of houses. Spiritually, the impure are afflicted with the, leprosy of the flesh, who easily infect others, and are therefore to be most carefully avoided. The leprosy of garments consists in extravagance of dress and scandalous fashions, whereby not only individuals, but also whole communities are brought to poverty, and many lose their innocence. The leprosy of houses, finally, is to be found in those places, where scandalous servants are retained, where nocturnal gatherings of both sexes are encouraged, where, obscenities are indulged in, where unbecoming dances and plays are held, and filthy actions performed; where married people allow themselves liberties in presence of others, and give scandal to their household, where they take their small children and even such as already have the use of reason, with themselves to bed, where they permit children of different sexes to sleep together, &c. Such houses are to be avoided, since they are infected with the pestilential leprosy of sin, and woe to them who voluntarily remain in them.

Why did the lepers remain standing afar off?

Because it was thus commanded in the law of Moses, (Lev. XIII. 46.) so that no one would be infected by them. From this we learn that we must carefully avoid scandalous persons and houses; for he who converses with lewd, vain and unchaste persons, will soon become like them. (Ecclus. XIII. 1.)

Why did Christ send the lepers to the priests?

This He did to show the honor due to the sacerdotal dignity and to the law of God: for it was commanded, (Lev. XIV.) that the lepers should show themselves to the priests, in order to be declared by them clean or unclean; He did it to try the faith, the confidence, and the obedience of these lepers: for Christ did not wish to heal them upon their mere prayer, but their cure was to cost them something, and they were to merit it by their cooperation. Their purification, therefore, was the reward of their obedience and faith. Further, Christ sent these lepers to the priests to show figuratively, as it were, that he who wishes to be freed from the leprosy of sin, must contritely approach the priest, sincerely confess his sins, and be cleansed by him by means of absolution.

Why did Christ ask for the others, who were also made clean?

To show how much ingratitude displeases Him. Although He silently bore all other injuries, yet He could not permit this ingratitude to pass unresented. So great, therefore, is the sin of ingratitude, hateful alike to God and man! "Ingratitude," says St. Bernard," is an enemy of the soul, which destroys merits, corrupts virtues, and impedes graces: it is a heavy wind, which dries up the fountain of goodness, the dew of mercy, and the stream of the grace of God." "The best means," says St. Chrysostom, "of preserving benefits, is the remembrance of them and gratitude for them, and nothing is more acceptable to God than a grateful soul; for, while He daily overloads us with innumerable benefits, He asks nothing for them, but that we thank Him." Therefore, my dear Christian, by no means forget to thank God in the morning and evening, before and after meals. As often as you experience the blessing of God in your house, in your children, and your whole property, thank God, but particularly when you take in the fruits of the earth; (Lev. XXIII. 10.) by this you will always bring upon yourself new blessings and new graces. "We cannot think, say, or write anything better or more pleasing to God," says St. Augustine, "than: Thanks be to God."

ASPIRATION O most gracious Jesus! who, as an example for us, wast always grateful to Thy Heavenly, Father, as long as Thou didst live upon earth, grant, that I may always thank God for all His benefits, according to Thy example and the teaching of Thy servant St. Paul. (Col. III. 17.)

INSTRUCTION ON THE SACRAMENT OF HOLY ORDER
Go, show yourselves to the priests. (Luke XVII. 14.)

Such honor did God show to the priests of the Old Law that He sent the; lepers to them, although they could in no wise contribute to the removal of leprosy. What honor, therefore, do the priests of the New Law deserve, who through the sacerdotal ordination, gave not only received from God the power to free mankind from the leprosy of the soul, but also far higher privileges.

Is the priesthood a special and holy state, selected by God?

Yes; this is evident from the writings of the Old as well as of the New Testament, and is confirmed by holy, apostolic tradition. In the Mosaic Law God Himself selected a particular race - Aaron and his descendants-from among the tribes of Juda, to perform solemnly the public service, to pray for the people, and instruct them in matters of religion, (Exod. XXVIII. I.; Lev. IX. 7; King's II. Z8.) but particularly to offer the daily sacrifices, (Lev. I. II; Num. XVIII.) for which offices they were consecrated by different ceremonies, ordained by God, which ceremonies lasted seven days. (Exod. XXVIII. 4. &c. ib. XXIX.) Besides these, God instituted a sort of minor priesthood, Levites, for the ser­vice of the temple and of God; (Num. III. 12; VIII. 6-18.) they were of the tribe of Levi, and received no land like the other tribes, but lived on the offerings and tithes, and were consecrated like the priests. (Num. XVIII. 21.; VIII. 66-26.) This priesthood, an emblem of the real priesthood of the New Testament, was not abolished by Christ, but He brought it to its fulfillment and completed it, since He did not come to take away, but fulfill the law. For this reason Christ selected twelve apostles and seventy-two disciples from among the faithful, at the commencement of His public life, and He said to them: I have chosen you, and have appointed you, that you should go, and should bring forth fruit. (John XV. 16.) He gave them power to free man from sin, to sanctify, and reconcile him with God. (Matt. XVIII. Z8.) He commanded them to preach His gospel to all nations, (Matt. XXVII. 18-20.) and to offer up His holy Sacrifice. (Luke XXII, 19.) Just as the apostles were chosen by Christ, so afterwards by the Holy Ghost. St. Paul was chosen to be an apostle, and he calls himself a minister of Christ and a dispenser of the mysteries of God, (I Cor. IV. I) and who together with Barnabas was ordained. (Acts XIII. 2, 3.) In the same manner the apostles chose their successors, and ordained them, (I Tim. IV, 14.; II Tim. I. 6.) and even appointed seven deacons, as assistants in the priestly office. (Acts VI. 1-3.) From these clear testimonies of holy Writ, it is evident that, as God in the Old, so Christ in the New Testament chose a particular class of men, and established certain grades among them, for the government of His Church, for the service of God, and the salvation of the faithful, as holy, apostolic tradition also confirms. Already the earliest Fathers, Ignatius and Clement, disciples of the apostles, write of bishops, priests, and deacons, who are destined for the service of God and the faithful. Subdeacons, ostiariates, lectors, exorcists, and acolytes, are mentioned by St. Gregory of Nazianzen, St. Justin, St. Cyprian, and many others, but particularly by the Council of Carthage in the year 398, which also gives the manner of ordaining priests.

The heretics, indeed, contend that the Roman Catholic Church robs the true believers of their dignity, since she grants the priesthood only to a certain class, and give as proofs of their assertion two texts, where St. Peter (I Pet. II. 9.) calls the faithful a kingly priesthood, and where St. John (Apoc. I. 6.) says that Christ made us kings and priests. But these texts speak only of an internal priesthood, according to which every Christian, sanctified by baptism, who is in the state of grace, and consequently justified, and a living member of Christ, the great High-Priest, should offer spiritual sacrifices,¹ that is, good works, such as prayer, mortification, charity, penance &c., on the altar of the heart, as also St. Peter, (I Pet II. 5.) St. Paul, (Rom. XII. I.) and David (Ps. 1. 19.) teach. If the assertion of the heretics were true that all believers are priests, why did God in the Old Law institute an especial priesthood, why did Christ and the apostles choose suitable men for the service of God? If all believers must be priests, why are not all kings, since St. John says, that Christ has made us kings? God, on the contrary, severely punished those who presumed to arrogate to themselves a priestly office, as He did to King Ozias, who was afflicted with leprosy because he burnt incense in the temple, which the priests alone were permitted to do. (II Paralip. XXVI. 18. 19.)

Of course heretics must make this assertion; for since they say that Scripture is the only rule of faith, and that every one can explain it, for what purpose are preachers necessary? And since they have no sacrifice, and with the exception of baptism, no Sacraments, for what purpose should they want priests? But since the sacrifice of Jesus is to continue in the Catholic Church until the end of time, since all the Sacraments instituted by Christ are still dispensed by her, and the command of Christ to teach all nations, must be carried out by her, therefore, there must be priests chosen and destined, who will perform the ministry of the Lord, and these must not only be chosen, but also be consecrated for this by a special Sacrament.

What is Holy Order?

Holy Order is a Sacrament by which Bishops, Priests, &c. are ordained, and receive grace and power to perform the duties belonging to their charge.

What is the external sign, by which grace is communicated to the priests?

The imposition of the bishop's hands, the presentation of the chalice with bread and wine, and the words by which power is given to offer the Sacrifice of the New Law, changing, bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ, and to forgive or retain sins. (Conc. Flor. in Decr. Eug.  et Trid Sess. 14. C. 3. de poen. et Sess. 22. C. 1.)

When will Christ institute this Sacrament?

At the Last Supper, when, having changed bread and wine into His body and blood, He said: Do this, for a commemoration of me, and when after His Resurrection He said to them: As the Father hath sent me, I also send you (to free man from sin and to sanctify him). When he had said this, he breathed on them: and he said to them: Receive ye the Holy Ghost. (John XX. 21. 22.) The power to forgive and retain sins He gave them when He said: Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them: and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained. (John XX. 23.)

Has Holy Order always been regarded as a Sacrament in the Church?

Yes, for St. Paul admonishes his disciple Timothy (I Tim, IV. 14.) not to neglect the grace conferred upon him by the imposition of hands, and in another place he admonishes him, (II Tim. I. 6.) to stir up the grace which was in him by the imposition of his (St. Paul's) hands. From this it follows, that St. Paul believed that the external sign of the imposition of hands of the bishops conferred a particular grace, wherein, indeed, the essence of a Sacrament consists. Therefore the Council of Trent (Sess. 23. de ord. can. 3.) declares those anathema, who contend, that Holy Order is not a real and true Sacrament, instituted by Christ, but only a human invention, or a certain form of electing the ministers of the Word of God and the Sacraments.

Are those called to the priesthood ordained at once?

No, they are not admitted to Holy Order until they have undergone a rigid examination regarding their voca­tion, moral conduct, and their knowledge of the sacred science.

How many degrees are there in Holy Order?

In Holy Order there are seven degrees: four lesser, and three greater. Of the lesser, the first is that of Porter, whose office is to keep the keys of the Church, sacristy, treasury, and to see that due respect is observed in the house of God: to him the bishop says, in his ordination: So behave yourself as to give an account to God of what is kept under your charge. 2. That of Lector; his office is to read aloud the lessons of the Old and New Testament, which belong to the divine office, and to instruct the ignorant in the rudiments of the Christian religion: the bishop gives him a book containing those things, and charges him faithfully and profitably to fulfill his office. 3. That of Exorcist; to him is given power to exorcise possessed persons: the bishop gives a book of exorcisms, and bids him receive the power to lay his hands on such as are possessed, whether baptized or catechumens. 4. That of Acolyte; his office is to assist the deacon and subdeacon at the altar; to carry the lights, to prepare the wine and water for consecration, and attend to the divine mysteries: the bishop gives him a wax candle, with two little cruets, bidding him light the candle, and serve wine and water in the cruets.

The first of the greater is the order of subdeacon; he serves the deacon; prepares the altar, the chalice, the bread, and the wine; he reads the epistle aloud at high Mass; the bishop before he ordains him declares that none are to receive this order, but those who will observe perpetual continency; he then gives him a chalice, paten, basin and towel, two little cruets, and the book of epistles; bids him consider his ministry, and behave so as to please God. The second of the greater orders is that of Deacon; his office is immediately to assist the bishop or priest at high Mass; and the administration of the sacraments. He reads the Gospel aloud at high Mass; he gives the cup when the sacrament of the Eucharist' is given in both kinds; he may administer baptism, and preach the Gospel, by commission. To him the bishop gives a book of Gospels, with power to read it in the Church of God. The third is that of Priesthood, which has two degrees of power and dignity: that of bishops, and that of priests. The office of a priest is to consecrate and offer the sacrifice of the Body and Blood of Christ, under the forms of bread and wine; to administer all the sacraments, except Confirmation and Holy Order; to preach the Gospel, to bless the people, and to conduct them in the way to life eternal; as also to bless such things as are not reserved to the benediction of the bishop. The bishop, when he ordains a priest, anoints his hands with oil; he gives him the paten with bread upon it, and a chalice with wine, with power to offer sacrifice for the living and the dead; then he lays his hands upon him and says: Receive the Holy Ghost, whose sins &c., and performs several other ceremonies.

Learn from this instruction to honor and respect the priests, whose dignity as representatives of God, and dispensers of His mysteries, surpasses all human dignity; upon whom a load, too heavy even for angels, as St. Chrysostom says, has been imposed, namely, the care of your immortal soul; who daily enter the sanctuary before the face of the Lord, to offer the immaculate Lamb of God for the forgiveness of our sins; to whom Jesus confided the merits of His most precious blood, in order to cleanse your soul therewith in the tribunal of penance, if you confess your sins contritely; of whom God will one day ask the strictest account. Honor, therefore, these ministers of God, pray daily for the assistance of heaven in their difficult calling; particularly on the Ember-days implore God, that He may send pious and zealous priests; and if, perhaps, you know a bad priest, do not despise his high dignity which is indelibly imprinted on him, have compassion on him, pray far him, and consider that Jesus has , said of such: "All things whatsoever they shall say to. you, observe and do: but according to their works do ye not." (Matt. XXIII. 3.)

What’s on the Farce Mask label ?

 

All They Wrote

 

By Anna Von Reitz

It is sometimes ---  often --- necessary for us to educate not only ourselves and our children, but our public officials as well.  

I do not suggest that any American quote U.S. Supreme Court cases lightly, as these are foreign courts, and your purpose in referencing their decisions should be spelled out for the erring public officials. Use a disclaimer, verbally or in writing, something to the effect: 

 "I am saying this to educate and instruct you concerning the decisions of your own Supreme Court, not for any other purpose and not to seemingly subject myself to their opinions. You, however, owe them duty and due diligence." 

And then, here's a couple real good examples that a reader left in the comments section earlier today, to either hand to the "government officials" or quote or read or whatever you have to do to get the take home message drilled into their heads: 

U.S. SUPREME COURT DECISION:  “All codes, rules, and regulations are for government authorities only, not human/Creators in accordance with God’s laws.  All codes, rules, and regulations are unconstitutional and lack due process…”  Rodrigues v. Ray Donovan, U.S. Department of Labor, 769 F. 2d 1344, 1348, decided in 1985.

And again, in Self v. Rhay, 61 Wn (2^nd) 261. “The common law is the real law, the Supreme Law of the land, the code, rules, regulations, policy and statutes are “not the law”.

So, now, let them prove that you are a government official or government authority --- and are agreeing to act in that capacity. 

Especially now that your actual State Assemblies are in Session, there is no reason for any public employee to presume that they have any custodial role or executor-ship related to you --- which is another factoid they need to hear when and if they misaddress you.  

In a way, these two excellent citations above, are a perfect and complete defense against anyone presuming that you are subject to private tribunals. It's well-worth remembering them and using them whenever appropriate.

DIY

 

By Anna Von Reitz

Most Americans are famous for “do-it-yourself” projects, and within her sphere, Grandma is no exception. 

I recently got out the Monster Drill, the saber saw, and assorted other materials and made myself a “Private Property— No Trespassing” signboard. 

Why not? You have to give Notice or no Due Process is served. 

And so, like millions of other Americans, I make the trek to the Hardware Store. 

It should not be exactly a surprise or a foreign concept that we have to Do-It-Yourself when it comes to government, too. 

If you don’t do your own plumbing, what happens? 

You wind up paying a plumber. 

If you don’t do your own carpentry, guess what? 

And if you don’t do your own governing, well— what do you expect? 

There is also an old saying— if you want it done right, do it yourself. 

That certainly applies to cherry pie and barbecue. And potato salad. 

Turns out it applies to government, too. 

For many decades Americans have dawdled along blindly trusting “their” professional politicians—- and getting skinned for it. 

Now they are waking up and realizing that these guys are nothing but employees —-foreign corporations in the business of providing government services.  

Hired help.  Purportedly hired to “represent” us, the same way a plumber represents me when the sink is clogged. 

So where is the actual government? 

And who is running this nuthouse? 

You are, like it or not. 

So your choices are— hire some unknown, unaccountable, film-flam artist to govern you and your world “for” you, or do it yourself. 

Accept the job. Declare your proper political status and join your State Assembly. Gather up the Toolkit and make tracks. 

Right now, you’ve got State-of-State Assemblies, District Assemblies, Borough Assemblies, Municipal Assemblies—- all run by your Hired Help, more than willing to pick your pockets and dictate to you and charge whatever they want for this “service”. 

The only Assembly that has been absent, is yours.  Until now. 

The actual State Assemblies — including your Assembly— have been called into Session to address issues of grave concern. 

Renegade corporations have been caught trying to turn you and your kids into “GMO products”—- and then treat you as their patented property. 

More criminal corporations are trying to claim that DNA you “donated” to hospitals, genetic testing labs, and even public trash bins is their property.  You gave it to them, or abandoned it, right? 

It’s time to smack these corporations down so hard they never get up again, and only you, acting in your own behalf, can do it. 

So do it. 

Go to: www.TheAmericanStatesAssembly.net and get started.  

This is, and always was, a Do It Yourself Government.

The Down Low

 

By Anna Von Reitz

Donald Trump was trying to give blacks, Hispanics, immigrants, and other minorities decent jobs, with futures attached.  A real life.  Some of people are too stupid to realize that, but I am hoping and praying that a lot of them who had jobs (past tense) and had a future (past tense) because of Donald Trump will remember that on Election Day, because they can vote, and if they want their pathway upward cleared, they should know by now who to vote for.  And it isn't Joe Biden.  And it isn't Ms. Harris.

Grok these facts --- Joe Biden had over thirty years in the Senate, eight years in the White House, a total by my count, of over twenty years of Democratic Party Majorities when there was nothing in this world preventing the Democratic Party from delivering everything that they have been promising poor blacks, Hispanics, Native Americans, and immigrants since the Civil War.  

And what did they really deliver to the poor people of this country?  Crickets, and more war.  More lies. Beads and trinkets.  That's what Joe Biden has actually delivered.  Obamaphones, and people were so miserable and poor, that they were truly grateful to get a piece-of-shit ten dollar cell phone and let Obummer charge their 'blocked" credit accounts $1500 each for the pleasure. 

Reminds me of the CARES Act.  $300 billion for the people of this country, and the rest of $6.3 trillion for the bankers and the cronies.  CARES?  Cares about what?  Cares about who?   Get a clue, it's not me or you getting cared about in that little transaction.  

Believe it.  It's true.  We have plenty of proof.  Look around.  See what you've got "serving" you and consider how you are being "serviced".  

The Republicans during those years were no better, but at least they didn't piss down our backs and tell us it was raining.  They admitted it was piss.  We knew it was piss. 

Grandma has more respect for bad guys who are just bad guys straight up, and a lot less respect for contemptible nasty little hypocrites masquerading as do-gooders talking about "social justice" and political correctness.  

I don't like or support either group, but of the two, the Robber Barons are easier to stomach, because at least everyone knows they are bad guys.  They wear black hats. They look like bad guys.  They talk like bad guys.  They are bad guys.  Well, so?  

But with the Dems, they sing so sweetly, they mince around preaching luv and plenty, plenty and luv ---- and they are the coldest, most calculating, stingiest, nastiest, most depraved bunch of hypocrites anyone could ever imagine. 

So start out at the bottom of a very deep wagon rut, add a snake, call that a Republican; now, dig a deep man-sized hole, throw in a viper, and very carefully camouflage the trap. Call that one a Democrat.  That's how bad it is in Washington, DC.  

When Oprah spends her own billions on social justice, instead of sweatshops in China, I'll take her talk as something more than talk.  Same with all the other Dem billionaires.  Until then, I have the impulse to pick them up by their underwear and swing in a wide, wide  arc. 

I hope a lot of the people who have been sitting and waiting and voting and hoping and believing all these liars, will wake up.  I hope that those who have been compromised in ways they can't avoid, people who have to remain in the status of "citizens of the United States", will at least vote for the best glimmer of real hope that they've seen since JFK.  His name is Donald Trump. 

Under Trump you had jobs and hope for advancement.  Under the Dems and their UN Agenda, you've got a mandate for genocide.  Just drink the Kool-Aid one more time.

Public International Notice Concerning the US 2020 Census

 

By Anna Von Reitz

In addition to their usual snooping, the US Census is trying to claim that everyone who "responds" to this pile of inappropriate interrogation is "domestic" and "within" their jurisdiction.  This is not true. 

The Federal Constitutions grant the Federal Subcontractors the right and responsibility to take a head count of people living in this country, but the only information that people are required to give is the number and the name of those living in any given place. 

There is no selection of boxes allowing anyone to tick off what kind of "United States" they live in, no explanations about political status, no disclosure that the rats would be making any presumptions or assumptions about your political status based on whether you responded to the survey or not. 

As a result, their undisclosed claims are just as fraudulent as ever and the "Census 2020 Results" cannot be taken to be any measure of how many "citizens of the United States" might live in this country.  

To find that out with any reasonable certainty, we'd have to count the actual Federal Civil Service Employees and the Federal Agency Personnel and their family members who are direct dependents of these Federal Employees.  We'd also have to count the population of the Insular States --- the US Territories and Possessions offshore, like Guam and Puerto Rico, plus the non-military population of Washington, DC and the District of Columbia.  Oh, and all those actually getting an unearned welfare check from the Federales.  

Best guesstimate is that about 23% of the total population fits the bill to be counted as a "citizen of the United States" ---- and if the rest of us would get our tails in gear and take these fraudsters to task, that number would drop dramatically.  Why? 

Because the DC Boyz make money by keeping lots and lots of people down in the Hood, living worse than slaves, eating crap, with no jobs, no hope, no education, no way to have a decent life at all.  The Dems create their "base" this way, and then, promise their victims relief.  Just more lies.  More fraud.   And then they steal the actual value of these people's labor, tax them to death, and use their homes as chattel backing the perpetrator's debts. 

If you actually told all these people what they "voluntarily" gave up, the actual cost to them of adopting "citizen of the United States" political status in exchange for a job or a stingey welfare check, they'd all poop their pants and the Municipal Government would have no workers in the morning. Even the custodians and the cooks at the White House would quit.  

That's why they can never, ever, provide full disclosure and have to be downright secretive about what they are doing and all the false claims they are making--- because if people knew the truth, there would be as Henry Ford said, "revolution by morning". 

And this lack of full disclosure will forever invalidate everything these con artists say and do and all the purported contracts they claim to make.  

So when they come back and tell another Whopper to the world, and claim some absurd number like "93% of Americans have adopted Municipal citizenship" ---- don't believe it.  Not for a nanosecond. 

Nothing regarding our political status is proven or even indicated by the 2020 Census.

Notice and Return to: THE HUMAN RIGHTS TRIBUNAL INTERNATIONAL

 

By Anna Von Reitz

From: The American States Assembly and State Assembly Members of The United States of America, our unincorporated Federation of States.

Notice of Non-Compliance, Non-Assumpsit, and Counter-Claim

Notice to Agents is Notice to Principals; Notice to Principals is Notice to Agents:

1. No American State Assembly is subject to any jurisdiction held by any international tribunal; our State Assemblies and these Several States they populate are sovereign physical entities and the only external performance contracts they hold are with the Pope, the Queen, and the Lord Mayor of London, not with the Reign of the Heavens Society nor any ill-informed adjunct organization dba “THE HUMAN RIGHTS TRIBUNAL INTERNATIONAL” pretending to have any authority or jurisdiction related to us;

2. No Americans and no American States are subject to any foreign law or incorporated entity tribunal operating in global jurisdiction;

3. The populations of our States of the Union are composed of living people and Lawful Persons, not HUMANS, so we neither address nor act upon HUMANS, that is, hue-mans, color of man, or more popularly, persons;

4. Thus, neither our States, nor we, their Federation Government in International Jurisdiction, have imposed upon any entity, class of inhabitants, or foreign persons that could be described as “HUMANS” and we certainly owe no respect to any summons from any “TRIBUNAL” concerning itself with “HUMANS”;

5. However, we do Notice your Organization for pernicious efforts to confuse yourselves and your franchises with us and our Government, including infringing upon our names; we order you to cease and desist these criminal activities and note that inland piracy --- successful or not --- is a hanging offense;

6. Your crimes of infringement and acts of constructive fraud have now been exacerbated by offers of fraudulent court proceedings; again, cease and desist.

7. The United States of America is the name of our unincorporated Federation of States. Any foreign incorporated entity proposing to use our Proper Name(s) for doing its own business is demonstrably a fraud creating malicious mischief and seeking to build upon former acts of piracy carried out by foreign governments acting in Breach of Trust and Contract.

8. It is your choice whether or not you wish to act as HUMANS or as people, but as HUMANS are merely things and may be bought, sold, liquidated, or traded at will, we would highly recommend that people exercise their option to act as people, and forget about ever calling themselves HUMANS, claiming HUMAN RIGHTS, or subjecting themselves to anything called a HUMAN RIGHTS TRIBUNAL; we certainly won’t make that mistake.

9. If you continue your activities in contravention of national and international law we will progressively prosecute your shell corporations and affiliated organizations and the individuals responsible for them.

The United States of America --- Unincorporated
