Fifth Sunday After Easter

 Rev. Fr. Leonard Goffine's

The Church's Year

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

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

COLLECT O God, from whom all good things proceed: grant to Thy suppliants, that by Thy inspiration we may think those things that are right, and by Thy guidance may perform the same. Through our Lord Jesus Christ Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee, in the Unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end, Amen.

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

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

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

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

Why does God wish us to ask of Him?

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

What is meant by asking to the name of Jesus?

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

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

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

At what special times should we pray?

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

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

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

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

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

Which is the best of all prayers?

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

SHORT EXPLANATION OF THE LORD'S PRAYER

Of what does the Lord's Prayer consist?

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

What does the word “Our" signify?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We beg for all necessaries for body and soul

Why does it say, "this day?"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

INSTRUCTION CONCERNING THE PROCESSIONS ON ROGATION DAYS

What are processions?

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

Are processions something new?

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

What do processions signify?

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

Why are banners and the cross carried in procession?

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

Why do we go around the fields in processions?

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

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

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

With what intentions should we take part in a procession?

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

The National Identity Theft Scheme

 By Anna Von Reitz

Information provided to H.E. Cardinal Mamberti and the Vatican Chancery Court regarding our Claim March 6 2005, January 19 2023 in seq: 

We have described in general terms the many Substitution Schemes that have been involved in the mis-administration of our Government beginning in 1860. 

(1) Abraham Lincoln substituted his private office as "President" of a British Crown Corporation doing business as "the United States of America, Incorporated" for the Public Office of The President of The United States of America. 

(2) British Territorial business organizations substituted themselves for the actual States-of-States, such as The State of New York, and pushed people to create new State-of-State Constitutions under color of law and force of arms to expedite this scheme. 

(3) States-of-States were called "Confederate States" and later simply misrepresented as States.  

Throughout, those responsible for these crimes and usurpations have endeavored to say that these frauds were known and that our populace voluntarily accepted these and other changes in flagrant disregard of our own best interests.  

We have sought long and hard to find any evidence that these and other changes were ever advertised and fully disclosed and agreed to by the General Public; no such educational campaign is in evidence, nor is there any evidence of a public referendum or similar election process.  All these new definitions were simply foisted off onto the General Public without their knowledge or consent. 

This process of redefinition, relabeling, and substitution occurred under different circumstances and decades prior to what happened in Australia and in other countries, but we can observe the same process at work and the same methods used to fool the public and allow British Territorial forces to usurp the lawful governments throughout the Commonwealth and later, after World War II, the same was done to the occupied European countries and Japan.   

In all cases, these substitutions resulted in National IdentityTheft.  The Municipal Corporation Perpetrators responsible gained unauthorized access to credit belonging to the lawful governments, and the colluding banks went along with this.  

All of this results in the same exact process of identity theft via impersonation that modern credit card hackers use to access credit that doesn't belong to them.  The hacker pretends to be the account holder, and until the thief is caught, gets away with charging whatever they please against the victim's account. 

In the same way, the Scottish Commercial Corporation doing business as "The United States of America"---Incorporated, impersonated our Federation of States and obtained unauthorized and unlawful access to our credit accounts.  

As we have gone over the history we find that our Federation of States never owed any debts, and that even the debts of the Federal Republic were completely paid off by Andrew Jackson's Administration, leaving this country and its American Federal Subcontractor debt free as of 1837. 

We were also dangerously adrift, mainly because as sound as his fiscal policies were, our Seventh President was a comparatively ignorant man. Andrew Jackson embraced Tory Democracy-- the same political party that was to launch Benjamin Disraeli into power in Great Britain -- and the same party that was responsible for universal enfranchisement. 

Though the victims couldn't possibly know this, the enfranchisement they were being offered was identical to corporate business enfranchisement.

As we've seen, though enfranchisement and the right to vote has appeared to be a good thing, it is in fact an undisclosed degradation of political status.  

People who registered to vote lost their ability to act as Electors, and appeared to voluntarily donate their services and property assets to the British Territorial Government that was already organized as a democracy; they also became Subjects of the Queen. 

This is how and why generations of American schoolchildren have been taught that their country is a democracy -- when it isn't.  This is why you hear politicians in Washington, DC, endlessly prattling about their democracy and threats to our democracy and so on.

None of this was ever disclosed to the victims, rendering all these presumed relationships and obligations null and void for lack of disclosure.  

There is no such thing as an American democracy.  There is only a British Territorial Democracy acting as a Municipal Corporation Subcontractor of our American Government. 

Like the cradle snatching involved in the Dead Baby Scams, the Voter Registration and American Democracy Scams are all aimed at identity theft and unlawful, undisclosed conversion of political status and asset ownership. 

Our American Government is and always has been republican in nature, and that is not a reference to any political party; it is a reference to the structure and kind of government that the American people practice and ordain -- with our government at all levels tasked to serve and protect the rights and property of individual people, not persons. 

Democracy aims at equality at the cost of the individual, whereas  republican states adopt equality under the law and protect the individual. 

It is the British Territorial Democracy and its U.S. Citizenry which has been responsible for the near-constant mercenary conflicts that the U.S. Armed Services have been involved in, and this has been hidden from the American People and the rest of the world for decades.  

The people of this country and indeed, even the men and women employed by these Services, have not known that they were employed in a mercenary capacity -- and that they have been endlessly fighting -- not for freedom or any just cause, but for the commercial gain and business interests of these foreign Municipal Corporations housed in the District of Columbia.   

Moreover, by more convenient and self-serving practices of redefinition , the meaning of the word "defense" has been toyed with, so that it is unrecognizable from its intent and meaning in the Federal Constitutions, where it clearly and unequivocally means defense of this country, not defense of their corporations. 

Trillions of dollars and millions of lives have been spent over the past 160-plus years, purportedly defending us in places like Mali and Bosnia that posed no threat to us, but which did represent threats or benefits of some kind to the commercial interests of these criminal Municipal Corporations.    

We must be very clear about who the actual owners are and whose defense is under contract and exactly what that means. It's our borders and the safety of our States and people that are under contract, nothing more or less.  All the other expenditures that these con artists have appropriated for themselves illegally and unlawfully, and which they have used for other non-contractual and non-consensual purposes are logically their costs of doing business and have nothing to do with us. 

We should not be blamed nor charged for the opportunism and criminality of these Subcontractors, and we should not be confused with them in the minds of the public in this country or anywhere else.  The same goes for the City-operated Municipal Subcontractor.  

No hiding behind our skirts.  We did not approve of and our contracts do not allow for the invasion of Libya or Iraq or any other country. We did not vouchsafe any War Powers to these Subcontractors to act on our behalf in international or global jurisdictions, and we don't expect to have our Good Names dragged through the mud or our credit employed to fund violence and commercial opportunism.  

We don't care how long we have been asleep, trusting these yahoos to do their jobs and follow their contracts; fraud and breach of trust have no statutes of limitation for prosecution and sovereign entities have no obligation to report to their employees. 

The job of these Municipal Subcontractors is to defend our land and our people and nothing else; they are not tasked to defend their own commercial self-interest at our expense. 

These Municipal Corporations and their operations are unequivocally the responsibility of the other Principals involved in their creation and administration, and ultimately, both of these Municipal Corporations are  owned by the Pope, who has the right and responsibility under Ecclesiastical Law to liquidate these corporations for engaging in unlawful, illegal, and immoral activities. 

We wish for the Municipal Subcontractors and the banks to be held accountable and for the assets that are lawfully ours to be returned to our administration without further excuse or obfuscation.  

We wish for the credit derived from our assets, including our labor, to be returned to us and to our administration without further excuse or obfuscation. 

We wish for a competent accounting separating the private debts of these Municipal Corporations from our public service costs. 

We wish for the bankruptcies of these Municipal Corporations to be investigated for fraudulent misrepresentation and prior asset stripping. 

We wish for the banks that have allowed these private Municipal Corporations to use our accounts without our permission and which have served to block our own access to our assets and our credit, to be thoroughly re-educated and redirected--- and liquidated as accomplices if they do not immediately reform their operations. 

We wish for all legal presumptions against our people and against our material and intellectual property interests to be dropped and for hard proof of knowing, willing, voluntary and fully disclosed foreign citizenship contracts to be entered into the public evidence record of the court in all court cases involving Americans from the nation states of the Union known as The United States. 

We wish for the aforesaid contracts and any proof of their validity and  existence to be further presented as full, complete, and correct copies to any American born in the States of the Union or having been Naturalized in this country without exception, and re-presented each and every time such people are addressed by any foreign court for any reason.

I Once Lived in a House

 By Anna Von Reitz

The house was a magnificent wreck, with a stairway going down to the basement straight out of a Boris Karloff movie, dark, creaking uneven stairs, dusty, festooned with cobwebs, the dry treads trembling with age, shadows reaching out deep into the uncertain faint light of the open doorway to the first floor above. 

Simply retrieving a can of tomatoes from the similarly ancient shelves in the basement was like a lifetime adventure, requiring groping, placing each foot gingerly on each step, afraid that a rusty lawn rake, shovel, or other implement would dislodge from tenuous lodgings on the shadowed wall----and land with ghastly precision on my head.  Indiana Jones ain't got nothing on me. This house was like the Temple of Doom and I lived in it. 

There were, however, some respites.  After we managed to find a chain long enough to reach the first floor and sturdy enough to clank around the perimeter of the 7-foot chimney hole and after that exercise dislodged a family of bats, two dead squirrels, a similarly dead pigeon, and approximately ten gallons-worth of creosote and ash, it was possible to have a warm fire on a cold night. 

The roof, though perilous, stubbornly continued to shed rain.  

The early century appliances in the kitchen, including a circa 1935 Waring Blender and a cast-iron Sears and Roebuck Stand Mixer, complete with fabric-wrapped electrical cords, still worked. And the plumbing, God helped us with that-- the plumbing was all copper pipe of an unknown age and unpopular dimension, but it transported water grudgingly from the basement to the Third Floor where the hot water service terminated. The garret, where I lived, got cold water only.    

The original inhabitants built this house just after The American Civil War and they had no concept of modern heat systems at the time, so the dragon-like furnace was added afterward and lived under the first floor stairway. 

Still, on an autumn afternoon, the house was a welcoming hulk backed up against the storm clouds and swirling leaves.  It seemed to say, "I've shouldered the snow and had leaves in my gutters for over a hundred years!  I'll make it a few years more!"  

In the spring both the yard and the house gave rise to a continuance of wonders, as I and my odd cast of roommates plus cats and dogs dug through the attic and raked the grounds, finding such oddities as a wreath made out of human hair, and a form of Belladonna growing in the garden which everyone thought was extinct. 

It was, all in all, not a cozy place, but a strangely secure one, and my rooms in the garret were open and airy, nicely plastered, adorned with fine baseboards and panelled doors.  Thanks to the advent of electricity, I didn't have to rely on the two ancient cast-iron coal stoves for heat, though I kept them ready to light up, just in case.  

The real glory of the house, in my mind, remained the built-in bookshelves lining every space, nook, and cranny.  As I learned and as our ancestors surely knew, there's more to a bookshelf than books.   

Gradually, over the course of time, The House came back to life, as if it had only been slumbering for several decades. When the venerable hot water heater installed in 1951 finally died in the middle of a blizzard, executive decisions were made, and within a week, both a new water heater and an extension of the hot water system to the garret were installed.  

What next, I wondered?  A bathtub?

Despite all the cleaning and raking and painting and hot water in the garret, the basement remained, all but untouched and avoided, the dark and gloomy nature of the place, not to mention the spiders, proved sufficient to repel most youthful invaders.  

I remained the only one to venture there, besides the landlord and the various courageous repairmen.  

So one day it happened that I was preparing to go downstairs and I looked up, instead of down for reasons I don't remember --- and there, far above me, I saw a light fixture and a light bulb and then, I looked for and found a light switch.

 

And again, once I looked, I saw another light fixture and light bulb on the landing where the stairway turned.  Last, but not least, a third fixture and light bulb were discovered at the base of the stairway.  

Half an hour later with the cobwebs and dust wiped away and new light bulbs installed, I flipped the switch and all three lights blazed on. 

I stood there stunned, wondering what was the matter with me, that I had never noticed those light fixtures before?  Why did I never look for them? How did I miss seeing the lonely switch on the wall?  I felt like an utter fool. 

Here I'd been creeping up and down that wretched dark stairwell with a flashlight and stumbling around for years, when there was no need for that at all. 

At some point in the past the light bulbs had winked out and there was nobody left to replace them. So the seasons ran away and the dust collected and the spiders built their houses on top of mine.  

In a way, it's the same story with our American Federation and the Federal Republic.  They've been here all along, dormant yet still alive, 

waiting for us to turn the lights on and finish the job of Reconstruction. 

It's true that we've had to overcome the treachery of False Friends acting in Breach of Trust.  It's true that the work is considerably more daunting than simply changing a few light bulbs, but it's still oddly the same. 

We were meant to have light and ease in our house on the hill, meant to enjoy the clean and secure home we are heir to, yet we have stumbled around all these years in the dark, not noticing the truth, not knowing who we are.  

So now I've been saying, "Come home!" and that's the first message, but it's not just about coming home.  It's about fixing up the old place and restoring it to its former glory.  It's about flipping the light switches and seeing the lights blaze on as one after another the functions of our government roar back to life.  

If you feel like a fool when you finally see what's been wrong all this while, see that your Employees have been running the show and abusing your credit during your purported absence, see that you, yourself, have been the missing element in your government --- join the crowd. 

Stand with us in wonder as one after another the pillars of our government are restored and our history becomes our life again.

The Self-War Fraud, aka, The Foot and Hand War

 By Anna Von Reitz

Information provided to H.E. Cardinal Mamberti and the Vatican Chancery Court regarding our Claim March 6 2005, January 19 2023 in seq: 

In The American Civil War and in virtually every war since then, Municipal Corporations that ultimately belong to the same exact people, have been fighting each other.  We see the same thing being perpetuated right now all across the globe. 

It's always a war for profit against oneself, an anti-intuitive concept which is nonetheless fraud on the face of it. 

Will we give up our feet?  Or our hands? 

The Municipal Corporation overseen by the British Crown is ultimately owned and operated by the same people who own and operate the City-operated Municipal Corporation.  

Only the middle men are different. Both are Municipal Corporations. 

This use of different middle men to provide the appearance of two "sides" when there is only one ultimate owner --- is fraudulent. 

The present high-stakes game has been set up with the Globalists running the City-based Municipal Corporation undermining the Nationalists running the British Crown-based Municipal Corporation.  

Yet, at the end of the day, both these structures are Municipal Corporations and on top of all that, Nationalism and Globalism are not mutually exclusive concepts.   

We share, as we always have, the air and the oceans.  Thus, whoever we are and wherever we are, we are already in possession of global interests.  We are already part of the global community.  Indeed, there is no other way for us to exist. 

The Globalists should recognize what is global in nature and what isn't, and conduct themselves accordingly, keeping their pert noses in their own jurisdiction.  

The Nationalists should focus on improving their bit of ground and cherishing their people as a unique expression of the genius of the Living God. 

And the banks and bankers should be providing more than enough casino chips for everyone to have and be and do everything that we actually need to do --- not causing an artificial liquidity crisis. 

We could actually clean up the environment and be busy doing it instead of talking about doing it. 

We could realize that we are the Value backing all currency systems on Earth and stop worshiping the petty idol.  We could use money as it is meant to be used, as a tool to get things done--- not endlessly investing in mere "symbols of value" for a future that never arrives.

We wish for an immediate and permanent end of the fight being promoted between the Globalist Municipal Corporation and the Nationalist Municipal Corporation. 

We are not deceived about the actual circumstance and ownership.  

We have seen this phony "warfare" before and have no need or desire to see it again. 

The current crisis on our Southern Border is a result of  attempts by the Globalist faction to use commercial agreements (North American Union, etc.) as a means to usurp against national identity and authority. 

The City-operated Municipal Corporation can't have it both ways, claiming to have a legitimate function and service contract on one hand, and then failing to uphold Article IV, Section 4 of The Constitution of the United States on the other. 

This and many other incidents and dolorous circumstances have been caused by the City-operated Municipal Corporation and its citizenry  trespassing upon the land and soil and attempting to overthrow the natural order of things, as if our head could replace our feet. 

Each part of the Natural Order has its place -- and it is past time for the City-operated Municipal Corporation and its hierarchy to recognize the boundaries that Nature -- and our venerable agreements -- have placed upon it.  

We wish for the end of all efforts to force artificial admixture of different races and religions and cultures via migrations of refugees and freedom-seekers ---and the realization that homogeneity is not overall a natural or desirable end. 

Witness the Kingdom of the True God: over a million different species of insects, unknown numbers of species of diatoms and microbes, thousands of species of trees and shrubs....the sands of the sea and the stars in the sky, each grain of sand and each star unique, yet part of its kind.  So are we, each one of us and all our nations, unique. 

So observe and let it be; we wish for people to recognize their place in this greater scheme of things.

We wish for those Principals entrusted with the administration of the global jurisdictions of the air and sea to draw back their hands and leave the land, soil, and people be. 

As they abhor transgressions, let them learn to abhor trespasses, too. 

We wish for all these manipulative practices and usurpations promoted by the air jurisdiction and the sea jurisdiction against the land and soil jurisdiction to stop; no one should take what is not theirs nor trespass against the domain vouchsafed to others by Nature and by Law. 

We have officially and knowingly repopulated the land and soil and have exposed the unlawful actions of the Municipal Corporations housed in the District of Columbia that led to any supposition otherwise. We never in fact or thought left our natural house and home. 

We wish for the peaceful return of all our property including our intellectual property from those Principals who have claimed to be our custodians, representatives, executors, and trustees during our purported absence.  

Absent for a time or not, we are returned. 

We wish for the equal and similar claims of all other nations to be honored; the lawful governments of England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Australia, Canada, and of course, The United States, are already present and other nations are bringing their lawful governments into Session to address these same issues of fraudulent misadministration, unlawful conversion, impersonation, and unlawful usurpation.

The Invisible Contract Frauds

 By Anna Von Reitz

Information provided to H.E. Cardinal Mamberti and the Vatican Chancery Court regarding our Claim March 6 2005, January 19 2023 in seq: 

It must be universally acknowledged that things which have substance are by nature more undeniable that those things that exist only in the province of the mind, where apart from verbalization, they remain mutable and subject to discretion.  

Thus contracts which are unilaterally created by the action of one Party and those contracts merely implied and presumed to exist, are of an inferior quality to any consensual contract and also any contract which is written; and let it also be observed that a contract which is written and signed and countersigned by agreeing parties in wet-ink and with a meeting of minds and full disclosure of the particulars including the means of termination of the contract,  is superior to all others. 

It further follows that in the realm of contracts that contracts within the jurisdiction of the sea and of the air, may suffer multiple defects that are not allowed in the jurisdiction of the land.  That said, even such malleable contracts as may be established in the sea and air jurisdictions must conform to logic and may not assume grossly inequitable contracts to be valid.  

It is often said that the one contract that cannot be broken is the one that you are totally unaware of, and so it is that contracts in the sea and air jurisdictions may be foisted off on the unwary and used to entrap and secure ownership interests and obligations that are logically insupportable --- and yet these vaporous and sometimes literally unconscious contracts stand until they are recognized for what they are and overturned. 

The undisclosed Municipal citizenship contracts that Mothers have been asked to sign giving away a public ownership trust interest in their babies is an example.  

There is no full disclosure either of the content nor the consequence of the offer nor is the role of the persons making the offer disclosed, much less is the resultant conversion of political status of the baby and the loss of his or her birthright estate discussed.  The only telltale evidence of the criminally undisclosed contract is the Birth Certificate itself, and as neither the nature of the Birth Certificate nor its meaning as a clearinghouse certificate is discussed, the baby impacted by this unlawful conversion scheme is left at an extreme disadvantage by the non-disclosure surrounding these practices.

Even the hospital personnel responsible for soliciting these contracts have no idea what they are or what they are actually used for and have no idea where they go or what they are used for once the Mother signs the dotted line. The documents solicited disappear. They are no longer part of the hospital's records and are not archived.  This is because technically, these forms that our Mother's sign are not the hospital's forms --- they are private contracts obligating the baby to serve as a Municipal citizen of the United States. 

These private contract documents are sent on to the Depository Trust Company/DTTC in New York, and there they remain, forming the basis for trading upon both the Public Trust Interest and the Private Trust Interest procured by each of the Dead Baby Scams --- (1) seizing upon the "abandoned" Afterbirth materials and using this as an excuse to create a private trust interest in the name of the living baby, and (2) having the Mothers waive the baby's birthright estate without the benefit of disclosure and unknowingly creating another infant decedent estate in the public trust interest.  

No equitable consideration was ever given in exchange for any of these convenient undisclosed contracts; the baby is too young to remember, the Mother was never given full disclosure, and later, a veil of secrecy descends upon the meaning and purpose of the Birth Certificate, which is again, foreign and illegal in this country.  

99% of Americans have had no idea of what a Birth Certificate is or what it means. The only hint of a Public Notice ever given that it was a clearinghouse certificate appeared in Franklin Delano Roosevelt's First Inaugural Address.  Thus, the Mothers were entrapped and thanks to non-disclosure, were left with no basis to judge whether they should accept or reject this contract offer --- or even know that it was a private contract offer obligating their baby to a lifetime of enslavement. 

In the same way, The Pledge of Allegiance was made ubiquitous and passed off as an innocent declaration of patriotism and support for the American Flag, when in actuality, this "pledge" is a verbal contract in the nature of Feudal Pledges to a Monarch and the nature of the Title IV Flag receiving this binding contract is also left conveniently undisclosed.  

The Title IV Flag in its specific dimensions is a version of our American Flag entrusted to our British Territorial Municipal Subcontractors to use in the exercise of their delegated powers.  Thus, the Title IV Flag is an American flag, but it is on loan to our Subcontractors, and when innocent schoolchildren obediently pledged their allegiance to it, they were conscripted and obligated to serve the British Territorial Subcontractors, not their actual country at all.  None of this was ever disclosed or discussed in the schools and other places where these "pledges" were witnessed.

These contracts are self-interested and deceitful and defective on many counts for failure to disclose the existence of the contract and contract offer, failure to disclose the identities and nature of the parties to the contract, failure to establish the competency of the parties, and a great many other defects, but so long as these invisible contracts remain and go unchallenged, they stand by default. 

A slightly different lack of disclosure impacts all military service contracts, which are objectively presented as contracts entered into as employment contracts akin to indentured servitude for a period of years; however, a different form of deceit and non-disclosure impacts these contracts. They fail to disclose the nature of the service itself.  Every effort is made to present these services as honorable institutions of a national military, but they are not.  They are mercenary services and have been mercenary services since The American Civil War.  As a result, young people are being used as cheap mercenaries engaged in wars for profit set up by the Municipal Corporations.  The privations and sacrifices they endure for the love of their country are misplaced accordingly.  

We wish for the defects of these contractual practices to be fully recognized and for these presumed obligations to be set aside en masse, with the burden of proof being placed upon the Municipal Subcontractors to produce fully disclosed and consensual citizenship contracts, or else Cease and Desist all demand predicated on the existence of such obligations. 

We wish for all military service contracts to be reformed and fully disclosed and for the military services to return to the status of an honorable national military service --- not a commercial mercenary service anymore.  

If these Municipal Corporation Subcontractors want mercenaries to fight their filthy illegal "wars" they can pay full price and give full disclosure.
