International Public Notice: Ownership of the Philippine Islands

 By Anna Von Reitz

Our British Territorial Subcontractors, acting as Mercenaries at the behest of certain Corporate Interests, initiated a war with the Kingdom of Spain at our expense and without our permission; the end result is that The Spanish American War, which should properly be called the Spanish - U.S. Mercenary Conflict, was lost by Spain, and Spain was obliged to make concessions including the ownership of the landmass of the Philippine Islands. 

As part of the peace process, the British Territorial Perpetrators used $20 million of our gold to purchase the government infrastructure from Spain.   

The Philippine Archipelago was annexed, much like the Kingdom of Hawaii.

The people of the Philippines put up a long, hard, valiant fight for their own independence, a struggle that went on for fifteen years against the British Territorial U.S. Federal Subcontractors, the cost of which these same Territorial Mercenary Forces charged back to us and against our assets and credit.

We also took the blame for this, as this British Territorial aggression was always attributed to "the Americans".  

This was a bloody, protracted, expensive "war" of attrition and misery halfway around the globe, one that cost thousands of lives on both sides and millions upon millions of dollars in American gold. 

This "campaign in the Philippines" as the Brits like to refer to it, is virtually unknown in this country and nobody in the Public Fool System breathes a word about it.  Americans never hear about it.  Not in grade school, high school or university.  Nothing.  Nada.  So far as we, Americans, are taught or led to believe, our country's entire history with the Philippines is limited to the fighting in World War II, when we gallantly liberated the Archipelago and its people. 

For a dose of reality, read on. 

The "struggle in the Philippines" --- another nice British euphemism, ended with the Filipino people being strong-armed by overwhelming numbers, force, money, and equipment, not to mention naval bombardment. 

But the bills from all this (and a lot more)  were due, and in 1907, the first round of bankruptcy hit the Scottish Commercial Corporation doing business as The United States of America, Incorporated --- the principal rat responsible for the foregoing circumstance.  

At the end of this round of bankruptcy, their Creditors --- other Federal Subcontractors purportedly "representing" us --- pushed through the Federal Reserve Act in 1913.  

We, the actual American Government being occupied by what appeared to be our own Army, were left holding the proverbial bag: actual ownership of the Philippines came to us, as we were the only government with standing to receive land assets, but we were ourselves being misrepresented as being "absent, missing, in interregnum" and like all our other assets, the ownership interest in the Philippine Archipelago was rat-holed in the United States Trust. 

Enter the Second Bankruptcy.  The first bankruptcy involving the Scottish Corporation doing business as The United States of America (Incorporated) was followed by a second bankruptcy involving "the" United States of America, Incorporated, another foreign corporation impersonating us.  This second bankruptcy was planned with malice aforethought by the so-called G-5 Corporations and concluded by a Sea Treaty they signed off at the 1930 Geneva Conventions. 

The U.S. Representative at the 1930 Geneva Convention was Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who was, of course, elected President of the United States (Incorporated) --- and who promptly sold all the Municipal citizens of the United States into slavery, as indicated in his First Inaugural Address. 

By 1934 the U.S. (British Territorial) Congress was grinding through the details of the deliberate bankruptcy scheme and hit upon the idea of creating --- by legislation, which is a telling point --- "an independent government for the Philippines".   

This Corporation dba the Government of the Philippines, was then named as the Trustee over our gold which had been transported to the Philippines "for safekeeping" by the U.S. Navy during the First Bankruptcy.

Again, this is all taking place in the jurisdiction of the sea.  It has nothing whatsoever to do with us, the actual American Government, which has been remotely operated as a holding company in receipt of the physical assets of the States and Hawaii and the Philippines, and, and, and ------ all of which has been fraudulently "held in trust" by the United States Trust and used as collateral for the Federal Subcontractors to borrow against. 

It's not called "The Great Fraud" for nothing.

So, the Government of the Philippines (Inc.) became the Trustee over our gold held in safekeeping in the Philippines.  This is why and how Jack Kennedy, operating as President of the United States (Corporation) had to go to Ferdinand Marcos and secure his permission to use our gold assets to back the Kennedy Dollar.  

Kennedy had to adopt foreign dual citizenship to serve in the Offices known as President of the United States and President of the United States of America, which precluded him from acting as a Donor and instructing Marcos as his direct Trustee.  So it had to be done as an international agreement --- the Bilateral Minefields Agreement, the Green Hilton Agreement, and so on.  

In 1946, the British Territorial Subcontractor issued another Sea Treaty, the Treaty of Manila Bay, seeming to grant independence to the Philippines, but a close reading of the document reveals its nature as a Sea Treaty similar to the treaties the same Con Artists gave to the American Indian Tribes. 

The Treaty of Manila Bay sounds good, but it doesn't have any effect on the actual land ownership, because it is limited by nature to the jurisdiction of the sea. 

This means that the American Government still owns the Philippine Islands, both as the Receiver and the Holder, and the source of the funds used to buy the government infrastructure from Spain.  

Nobody paid us back for the expenditures, nor for the losses caused by the wars these Pikers engendered and fought --- and paid themselves for --- in our names.  

Until everyone is brought up to speed and public elections (as opposed to private corporation elections) are held, there is no land jurisdiction government of the Philippines to give the land back to.  

Spain left, the land assets were shuttled into the United States Trust "in our name", and the only governments formed since then have been British Territorial Corporation franchises, e.g., the Government of the Philippines, Inc. and Municipal Corporations, e.g., PHILIPPINES, INC. 

The land assets of the Philippines need to go back to a lawful government elected by the Filipino people and our purloined gold assets need to come back to us. 

All these criminal for-profit corporations that have run roughshod over the living people need to be shut down, liquidated, forfeited, or otherwise nationalized and lawfully converted to bring them back under the limitations and accountability imposed by Land Law.

International Public Notice: Question About "Article III" District Courts

 By Anna Von Reitz

The three Federal Constitutions reference Article III Courts, so people have been driving themselves crazy making all sorts of theories about this and trying to locate these Article III Courts.  

These tend to be the same people who can't understand where the Titles of Nobility Amendment went and why it doesn't appear as the Thirteenth Amendment in the two Constitutions that are typically published and available to the American Public. 

Begin with the fact that there are three Federal Constitutions issued (one each, sequentially, 1787, 1789, and 1790)  to three different Federal Service Providers.  

These are: 

The Constitution for the united States of America (1787) 

(Issued to American Subcontractors)

The Constitution of the United States of America (1789) 

(Issued to British Territorial Subcontractors)

The Constitution of the United States (1790)

(Issued to Holy Roman Empire Subcontractors)

Both the Article III Courts and the Titles of Nobility Amendment are part of and belong to The Constitution for the united States of America (1787); but,  because this Constitution has been dormant since the 1860s, and the American Federal Republic created to implement this Constitution has been vacant all this while, it appears that the Article III Courts and the Titles of Nobility Amendment don't exist or vanished inexplicably into thin air. 

They didn't vanish and they aren't invalid. We know exactly what happened to them and where they are. 

The Delegated Powers conferred under that first Constitution in 1787 returned by Operation of Law to the Federation of States that issued them, so the Federation of States has the ability to resurrect the Article III Courts and the Titles of Nobility Amendment.  

We can take over the work done by the original Confederation and the original Federal Republic; we can do anything they could do, because both these later institutions derived their delegated powers from us. 

The Federation can't, however, resurrect the Confederation.  The States have to do that.  Likewise, the Federation can't recreate the missing American Federal Republic.  The restored and "reconstructed" Confederation would have to do that. 

So, while the Federation can't accomplish the Reconstruction of the Government, it can do all the work and functions of the missing parts and pieces.  How do we know that?  The Federation of States did all the work of both the Confederation and the American Federal Republic for a period of five years, 1776 to 1781. 

In 1781, the Confederation was approved and began doing commercial business for the fledgling government.  That commercial work was delegated to it by the Federation of States. 

In 1787, the American Federal Republic was approved and began exercising the Powers delegated to it under The Constitution for the united States of America.  Those delegated powers were received directly from the Federation or indirectly from the Federation via the Confederation. 

At each step there was a delegation of power from the Federation to the Confederation and thence, from the Confederation to the American Federal Republic, both of which are "missing" and vacant components of the American Government.  

The only entity competent to restore the Article III Courts is the Federation of States, the original Source of all the Delegated Powers --- including Powers delegated to the Confederation. 

So that's the background of the Article III Court questions and in particular, this query asking if the District Court of the District Columbia is our long-lost Article III Court?

It's not. By definition. No District Courts have ever been authorized under Article III, because they are not part of the Federal Court System authorized under The Constitution for the united States of America. 

Per the Judiciary Act of 1789, the District Courts are organized under The Constitution of the United States of America, instead.  

Many people reading this might feel hopeless, thinking that we are without access to Article III Courts, and therefore without access to justice, but that isn't true,, either. 

The Truth is that our country and its American Government have never been dependent on our Federal Subcontractors, nor on their courts. 

We have always been able to mow our own lawn and run our own courts. We can run their courts, too, if they fail to do so, or mismanage them so as to create deliberate treason in our midst.  

The further Truth is that we don't "stand under" any Constitution and we don't need any delegated power, because we are the Delegators of all Federal Powers. 

Upon the failure or lack of performance of any Federal Subcontractor including the original Confederation, the Federation of States which assigned the work and delegated it has the option of doing the work itself. 

Our State Members created and hired these other organizations to provide certain "essential government services" but if they can't perform their delegated duties for any reason, the Federation of States has the inherent right and duty to do the work until such time as our State Members engage other contractors to do it.  

The repeated bankruptcies of the incorporated United States of America, Inc. and the United States, Inc., have vacated any Successor contracts we had with them and we are proceeding as the Delegators of the Delegated Powers to exercise our inherent Powers.  

We and our State Members are also acting as the Preferential and Priority Creditors of these failed corporations and are hereby providing Notice and Suit to the United States Trustees and the U.S. Trustees for the return of our purloined assets, the release of all foreign titles used to control and encumber our assets, and the return of our Good Names and Credit, which have similarly been purloined by our Federal Subcontractors. 

Notice to Agents is Notice to Principals; Notice to Principals is Notice to Agents.

International Public Notice: Food Supplies Are Contaminated Worldwide

 By Anna Von Reitz

Again, the United Nations is proving to be a useless and failed organization, which has done nothing substantial to address the actual problems. 

The Book of Isaiah lays out the Israelite war plan against their captors; they would subtly pollute the water and the bread and thereby undermine the health and sanity of their masters. 

Today, how do you pollute the water?  By adding iron to it.  And chlorine. And fluoride. 

How do you pollute the bread?  And, turn it into an addictive substance?  See here: 

https://chemtrails.substack.com/p/white-flour-is-a-drug-its-an-opioid?r=1jvkje

It's not the wheat that makes it addictive; no, it's the destructive processing that leaches out any food value from the flour and the unseen additives that these self-serving criminals have been allowed to add to the flour and bread products.  

Addiction sells.

It's the same way with tobacco.  Natural tobacco is not addictive.  Dr. Bryan Ardis has proved that beyond question.  No, it's additives to tobacco ---that the goons at the FDA have allowed--- that make tobacco and tobacco products addictive. 

Those artificially addictive tobacco products regulated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, provide the foreign incorporated "Federal Government Service Providers" billions of dollars in sin taxes every year, at the expense of our health and pocketbooks. 

One wonders what they are adding to the beer, wine, and hard liquor to make these regulated products artificially addictive, too?  

Many years ago we observed the preternatural lifespan of the typical soft white bread being sold in this country; it could sit on a shelf for six months with no apparent changes, no bacteria would touch it. 

So neither would we. 

Government regulation has not served to protect the public and has instead been used to harm the public in favor of the government coffers.  The hypocrites have posted health warnings on tobacco packages at the same time their FDA Regulators have allowed the tobacco companies to add addictive pyridines to the tobacco. 

The monsters have even managed to pollute the basic foodstuffs of the planet by introducing GMO crops that produce their own pesticides and herbicides at the cellular level --- all without anyone asking --- if this can kill Rice Weevil, can it also kill us? 

The original idea behind giving the Federal Government regulatory power over the interstate manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcohol, tobacco, and firearms, was to provide our Subcontractors with a means to collect revenues from these activities to support themselves.  

These so-called "sin" taxes were also supposed to discourage the spread of bad habits and limit access to means of violence. 

Good intentions and the road to hell go hand in hand, when the intent is not enforced, and the Regulators are bought off. 

America is by far not the only country impacted by this.  Germany has suffered as much and more than we have, thanks to the presence of I.G. Farben, Bayer --- and now, Monsanto as a subsidiary of Bayer, creating destructive chemical products and byproducts. 

Via the U.S. and Germany, the rest of the world has been impacted, too, by the gross and irresponsible proliferation and release of new chemical substances, reckless disposal of industrial byproducts, and manipulative profiteering.  

In England, the vast majority of water sources are still polluted from Roman times, when the Romans stuffed tons of iron ore into wells and water courses.  

What are our governments supposed to do?  Protect the people and their assets.  What is the only purpose and reason to have a government?  Protect the people and their assets.  What are we paying all these "service companies" for?  To protect the people and their assets. 

This may be a newsflash to the Federal Corporations and their bosses as well as many other quasi-governments around the world, but we do not employ them to addict us to poisons, pollute our world, and undermine our health, so that they can sell us expensive "health care" and Green New Deals to fix the problems they have created. 

We are calling for an immediate worldwide ban on all manufactured products containing additives that promote addiction.  

If the United Nations is worth the salt to blow it to Hell and back, it can do the same. 

Better yet, countries and governments that actually care about the people of this planet can join us as part of our Round Table.  

This pollution of food supplies worldwide is a deliberate and evil manipulation violating the Universal Law of Free Will, one which causes immediate harm to the victims, and unjust enrichment for the criminals responsible.  

We are warning and encouraging store managers to select and sell only products that are free of this tampering.  We are encouraging our people to boycott entire industries until these issues are addressed, and recommending that until further notice, we all eat Kosher products and simple non-processed organic produce, dairy, eggs, and meat. 

We are not suggesting that the Jewish people in our communities are responsible for the broad ranging abuses that have developed in the food and drug and agricultural industries since the Second World War.  This is simply to say that until the worse-than-worthless FDA is replaced and these industries are cleaned up, Kosher food is the safest food on Earth.  We can all benefit from higher dietary nutrition and manufacturing standards.

What Catholics Believe

 Does Catholic Church approve of "professional sports"? Catholic perspective regarding the police profession and"defund the police"? How often should the average Catholic receive Holy Communion? Does "peaceful and universal acceptance" mean that Francis must be the Vicar of Christ?

This episode was recorded on 9/28/2024.

Nineteenth Sunday After Pentecost

Rev. Fr. Leonard Goffine's

The Church's Year

 INTROIT I am the salvation of the people, saith the Lord: in whatever tribulation they shall cry to me, I will hear them: and I will be their Lord for ever. Attend, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth. (Ps. LXXVII.) Glory etc.

COLLECT Almighty and merciful God, graciously keep us from all things that are hurtful; that we, being set free both in mind and body, may with ready minds accomplish whatever is Thine. Thro'.

EPISTLE (Ephes. IV. 23-28.) Brethren, Be re­newed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new man, who according to God is created in justice and holiness of truth. Wherefore, putting, away lying, speak ye the truth every man with his neighbor, for we are members one of another. Be angry, and sin not. Let not the sun go clown upon your anger. Give not place to the devil. He that stole, let him now steal no more; but rather let him labor, work­ing with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have something to give to him that suffereth need.

EXPLANATION  St. Paul admonishes the Ephesians to lay aside the- old man, like a worn out garment, and put on the new man, that is, to renew their internal and external life. This renewal according to his teaching takes place, when we by a true repentance put away our vices, shun all lies, anger, injustice, &c., and adorn our soul with virtues, and zealously seek after Christian justice and perfection. We have, perhaps, already sought to change our manner of living, for which a jubilee or some other particular solemnity of the Church gave us occasion, and at that time, perhaps, purified our soul by a general confession, making the firm resolution to live for God, and work out our salvation, we appeared converted, and to have become other men: but how long did this conversion last? Ah, how soon did we fall back into the old, sinful ways. And why? Because we lived in too great, deceitful security. We thought everything accomplished by the general confession; we were satisfied, and omitted to employ the means of remaining in the state of grace. We did not thank God for the grace of conversion; we did not ask Him for the grace of perseverance; we frequented evil company, and did not avoid dangerous occasions; we indulged in idleness and pleasures as before. How can it appear strange, if such a conversion is fruitless? Ah, we should remain in wholesome fear even after the remission of our sins. (Ecclus. V. 5.) Even if we could say that we have done everything, nevertheless we cannot be certain, whether we be worthy of hatred or love. (Ecclus. IX. 1.) We should, therefore, work out our salvation according to the advice of St. Paul (Philipp. II. 12.) in fear and trembling, and thus not fall into the old life of sin, losing the hope of a new conversion.

GOSPEL (Matt. XXII. 1-14.) At that time, Jesus spoke to the chief priests and the Pharisees in parables, saying: The kingdom of heaven is likened to a king, who made a marriage for his son. And he sent his servants, to call them that were invited to the marriage, and they would not come. Again he sent other servants, saying: Tell them that were invited, Behold I have prepared my dinner; my beeves and fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come ye to the marriage. But they neglected: and went their, ways, one to his farm, and another to his mer­chandise: and the rest laid hands on his servants, and having treated them contumeliously, put them to death. But when the king had heard, of it; he was angry: and sending his armies, he destroyed those murderers, and burnt their city. Then he saith to his servants: The marriage indeed is ready; but they, that were invited were not worthy. Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as you shall find, call to the marriage. And his servants going forth into the ways, gathered together, all that they found, both bad and good; and the marriage was filled with guests. And the king went in to fee the guests; and he saw there a man who had not on a wedding garment: and he saith to him: Friend, how camest thou in hither, not having on a wedding garment? But he was silent. Then the king said to the waiters: Bind his hands and feet, and cast him into the exterior darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many are called, but few are chosen.

REMARK The parable agrees in many respects with that for the second  Sunday after Pentecost, and has the same meaning. See, therefore, the explanation of that gospel, as also of the feast of SR Catherine, to which Maybe added the following:

EXPLANATION In this parable the king is our Heavenly Father who has espoused His only-begotten Son to the Church, and on this occasion prepares the most sumptuous marriage-feast by giving the evangelical doctrine, the holy Sacraments, and the heavenly joys. The servants sent to invite the guests are the prophets, apostles and disciples of Christ. Those invited are the Jews who despised the honor and grace of the divine King, destined for them, abused and killed His servants, and were, therefore, cast aside and with their city Jerusalem, destroyed by the armies of their enemies, as a just punishment; in their stead the heathens and all those nations were called, who were on the broad road to destruction, and who now occupy the places of the unfortunate Jews at the marriage feast of the Church, and shall also occupy them in heaven. In the Jews to whom Christ addressed this parable, is verified that many of them, nay, all are called, but few chosen, because they would not heed the invitation.

APPLICATION We have the honor not only to be invited to this marriage-feast, but are in reality guests at it, because we are members of the Church of Christ by faith. "But the Christian," says St. Gregory, "who is a member of the Church by faith, but has not charity, is like to a man who comes to the marriage-feast without the wedding garment." With this garment which is charity, Christ was vested, when He came to celebrate the nuptials with His spouse, the Church, and by the bond of charity the Son of God also unites Himself with His elect. He clearly lets us know that charity is the wedding garment which should vest us. Those, therefore, who believe and are in the communion of the Church, but who do not preserve the grace of charity, are indeed in the wedding-chamber, but they are not adorned with the wedding garment. They are dead members of the Church, and shall not be admitted without this garment into the celestial marriage-feast in the triumphant Church, but rather be cast like that unfor­tunate guest into exterior darkness. This guest was silent, when asked by the king, why he had not .the wedding gar­ment. By this we see, that no one can excuse himself to God for not having charity, because every one can have it, if he asks it from God, and, as St. Augustine says, our heart is the workshop of charity, and every one who has a heart can practice it.

PRAYER I thank Thee, O Jesus, that Thou didst call me to the marriage-feast in Thy Church; give me the wedding garment of charity that I may be present at the celestial marriage-feat, and not be cast into exterior darkness.

INSTRUCTION CONCERNING HELL

Cast him into the exterior darkness. (Matt, XXII. 13.)

What is hell?

Hell is that place where the damned must suffer eternal punishment.

Is there a hell?

Yes; reason, holy Scripture and the Church teach us that there is a hell. Reason tells us that there is a just God who will punish sin. It is evident that all sins are not punished in this world; there must, therefore, be a place, where every mortal sin, not atoned for by sorrow and penance, will be punished, and this place is - hell. All nations from the beginning of the world, even those who had not the light of revelation, believed this.

But clearer still is the existence of hell shown by holy Scripture: The pious Job, (X. 22.) speaks of a region of misery and darkness, where the shadows of death and no order, but where eternal terror dwells. The Prophet Isaias (XXX. 33.) says that hell is deep and wide, and that the fire burning in it, is like a stream of sulphur, ignited by the breath of the Lord. Our Saviour expressly says that those who have done evil, shall go to everlasting torment, (Matt.  XXV. 46.) that they shall be tortured by everlasting fire. (Matt. XXV. 41.) He makes mention of hell, and says that an inextinguishable fire burns there, and a worm which never dies, plagues the wicked. (Mark IX. 42. 43; Matt. X. 28.) All the Fathers of the Church teach and testify to the same doctrine. St. Augustine, among many others, says: "The infinite wisdom of God tells us that there is a hell, and the illimitable power of God it is that punishes the dam­ned in a wonderful, but real manner."

Wherein do the pains of hell consist?

Sacred Scripture and the Church teach concerning the pains, of the reprobate in hell, that the damned burn there in an inextinguishable fire. (Mark IX. 45.) The holy doctors of the Church say, that this fire is never extinguished, and its smoke ascends or rises from century to century, “I see this fire," says St. Gregory, "as if it were gifted with reason; it make a distinction between the guilty, and tortures the damned according to the nature of their sins." This fire burns, but never consumes its victims; it commu­nicates, as Cassiodorus says, immortality to the reprobate and lets them suffer pain, which preserves them, like salt which penetrates the flesh and keeps it from corruption, as Jesus says: Every one shall be salted with fire. (Mark IX. q.8.) This fire does not shine, it leaves the reprobate in darkness, (Matt. VIII. 12.) and with this fire a never dying worm continually torments the damned. This worm is not only a bad conscience, say the holy Fathers, but particu­larly the privation of the Beatific Vision. Eternally will the thought torment the damned: I have lost God, the only true and highest Good, I have lost Him through my fault, I have lost Him for a brief pleasure, I have lost Him forever. In hell eternity devours all time; and if after millions and millions of years a damned soul wailingly asks his companion in misery: What time is it? he receives the answer: Eternity.

Who would not fear hell, and avoid sin which incurs eternal punishment, when he reflects upon this! Arid yet there are many, , upon whom the truth of the existence of a hell makes no impression, who even deny that there is such a place, and who say: God is love, He can have no pleasure in the torments of His creatures, He cannot eter­nally punish a sin which was committed in so short a time as is the life of man." But those who speak thus, forget that God is just, that His love and mercy are indeed always ready to forgive the contrite and penitent, but that His justice must also be satisfied, when the sinner continually rejects the merciful love of God; they forget, that every grievous sin which man commits voluntarily and knowingly is an infinite, eternal insult, offered to God, which can only be atoned for by an eternal punishment. For the perverted and malicious will of a man, who dies in mortal sin, remains perverted and malicious forever, therefore he must also be punished eternally.

O my dear Christian, do not listen to such deceivers; for just on account of their sinful life, they fear hell and therefore they endeavor to free themselves from this fear by denying the existence of hell; but they cannot succeed; for Jesus, the Truth, has told us that there is a hell, and His word remains for all eternity. Endeavor rather by a pious life to escape hell, descend there in spirit frequently according to the advice of a saint, contemplate the torments of the damned, and let this reflection urge you to imitate Christ, who has promised the joys of heaven to all His faithful followers.

CONSOLING DOCTRINE ON THE JOYS OF HEAVEN

The kingdom of heaven is likened to a king, who made a marriage for his son. (Matt. XXII. 2.)

Heaven is compared by Christ to a marriage-feast because we will there enjoy all imaginable pleasures in the most perfect union with God. In what these joys consist, fit. Paul could not describe, although he was wrapt into the third heaven and tasted these pleasures; he only said: Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that love him. (I Cor. II. 9.) Holy Writ, indeed, gives us many descriptions of the celestial joys, by comparing heaven to a paradise of bliss, sometimes to a precious pearl, or a treasure which neither rust nor moth consumes, nor thieves steal; again it represents heaven under the picture of a kingdom, a throne, a crown, whereby we are raised to the highest honor; at another time to the picture of a city which is built of gold, precious stones and pearls, lighted by the splendor of God, filled with magnificence and glory, and where the inhabitants enjoy undisturbed peace and security. These are only images or similitudes, which are taken from the most beautiful, most precious, and magnificent things of the earth, to teach us that heaven is as beautiful and pleasant a place, as we can wish and represent to ourselves, and that all possible beauty, agreeableness and joy may be found there in the highest and most perfect manner, free from evil, anxiety, disgust and fear of losing them.. In heaven we will possess God Himself, the source of all joy and bliss, and will enjoy His own happiness for all eternity. More is riot needed to give us the highest conception of heaven.

Who would not willingly despise the vain, short and im­perfect pleasures of this earth, whilst contemplating this indescribable bliss? Who would not willingly bear all the misfortunes. and misery of this world, when considering that the more .miserable we have been in this life the happier will we be hereafter. What would it avail us to have enjoyed all the pleasures of this world, if deprived of the pleasures of heaven, in, eternity!

ASPIRATION How lovely are Thy tabernacles, O Lord, of hosts! my soul longeth and fainteth for the courts of the Lord. My heart and my flesh have rejoiced in the living God. (Ps. LXXXIII. 2-3.) How do I loathe the world, when I contemplate heaven.

(St. Ignatius Loyola.)

"The FED is Terrified of a Stock Correction" - Mike Maloney & Chris Martenson

 https://youtu.be/wu1I6JRFhO0

At the Limitless conference, Mike Maloney sits down with Chris Martenson to discuss the real state of the economy and the dangers ahead. From the Federal Reserve’s policies that fuel wealth inequality to the fragility of the markets, they dive deep into why the average person is being left behind while the rich get richer. Chris shares his insights on why we may already be in a recession, and they both criticize the role of the Federal Reserve in creating economic imbalances. This eye-opening discussion is a must-watch for anyone who wants to understand how these issues affect not only the economy but also society as a whole.

The Divine Insanity of the Days

 By Anna Von Reitz

A friend asked me to describe my life these days. 

I thought for a moment. 

Is there any way to describe this?  

No, better to describe the turning seasons, the way the light shifts so quickly in these high northern climates, the Arctic Desert transforming almost by the hour.  

Mushroom Season came and went so quickly this year I barely had time to snatch a basketful here and there, and less time to notice the brief interlude of dusky rich mushroom smells exiting the food dehydrator.  The 'shrooms are preserved for unknown days and hours, a handful of Morels, some Shaggy Manes, some Oyster Mushrooms, a few stubborn Shitakes.... not a lot of mushrooms this year.  It was at once too dry and too wet by turns, never allowing for the mellowing of moisture that erupts overnight into a bountiful crop. 

The Leaf Fall, too, has been abrupt.  One day all was green, the next day all was gold, followed by a single big windstorm, and now, the forests have assumed that appearance that one associates with late October in warmer places, the storm winds having teased the great preponderance of leaves from the trees, so that now, all that remains are single large birches standing like torches still burning in the gloom.

The birds have been gone for over a week and the silence is deafening in its own way.  I would welcome even the mournful question-call of a Raven asking, "Kuaahwak?
 

Instead, the whole Earth seems to be holding its breath, waiting. 

The worst of the holes and bumps in my driveway have been repaired; I can look at that with some satisfaction. I won't have to skate across my driveway this winter for the first time I can remember.  The giant Cottonwood stump is also gone at last, carried away in the jaws of a thumb-bucket the size of a Volkswagen. 

All the cars in the Community Fleet are in for oil and fluid changes, topping off of radiators, studded tires, and whatever small repairs they need; we mourn the loss of our members, but we are happy for them, too.  One who is now sending us postcards from North Dakota and gushing about her new job, and a former abused wife, now living in Arkansas, who called to say she's getting married again. 

And no, he's nothing like the Other.... so-and-so.   

I stare at the old cars and trucks parked around the yard, yellow birch leaves scattered across their hoods. I can remember all these people who came here one way or another, and got matched up with these gallant old cars --- each one desperately needing a car to form a gateway to a new life:  transportation away from blows and threats, wheels needed to finish college, to make it to appointments at the hospital, or simply to make it to work and earn some money to support a family, even to keep a family together. 

"Your yard looks like a wrecking yard and it used to be so nice...." 

The inconvenience of parking the Community Fleet here for a few weeks comes and goes; soon enough, there will be new faces, strained and under pressure.  I know that look by now.  They will be facing the winter without hope.  No way to haul laundry or groceries. Three kids. Wife ran off.  Will lose his job if he can't get to work....

Boyfriend brought her to Alaska and abandoned her here.... the circumstances and the stories flow onward like the tide.  

Just when I think I've heard it all, a new variety of "Moose Munge and shoved in it" walks through the door.  

My Sons made me promise to get out and enjoy a beautiful fall afternoon.  I did.  I checked over my gardens.  The decorative yarrow plants have all been trimmed back, ditto the lupines and larkspur and delphiniums, the lavender bush has been raised and repotted and taken indoors, the rosemary, too.  Corn lilies, miniature cypress, calla lilies, also.  All that can be saved from the frost, has been.  My houseplants and their country cousins from the outdoor gardens are settling in for a long winter. 

I drank my late afternoon cup of turmeric and mango and ginger tea. 

I plucked a last bouquet of Violets and Blue Bells of Scotland for the breakfast sideboard. In the morning the men will all drag in looking haggard, slouching their way to the coffee machine, lining up work, setting schedules, making phone calls, arranging details.  Investigations, research, international relations, more phone calls. It all gets so overwhelming. 

Yet they will see the flowers and get a Cinnamon Roll, some fruit, and a cup of coffee, small sustaining things and acts of kindness that nobody is counting will take the edge off the day and the urgency, like a sign board saying, "Take a deep, deep breath!" 

A couple of days, a couple weeks at most, and the hard frost will come and the Earth will be hard as a rock for months. The snow will come, too, gently at first, and then, in deep blankets.   

I pray that we can get the last of the excavation work done, that we can set up a new pad for a mobile home for one of ours in desperate need, that we can put up a moveable fence for a dog yard, that we can --- in addition to all else that we are doing --- haul in the last supplies for the winter food storage, line out the car fleet, climb a high ladder and slather asphalt over a chimney boot,  finish bucking up firewood, fill up the extra propane bottles, get the lawn mower cleaned up and in winter storage, and so much more. 

All that has to get done in this little space of blessed time, all colored in tones of blue and amethyst and gold.       

I think that some people forget the struggle that we each go through, and imagine that the Federation is like the Federal Government that was named after it, born with a silver spoon; but no, I hate to tell you, that isn't true.  We were born in Valley Forge instead. We don't tax anyone.  We boot it all up and we do it ourselves, because that's what you have to do when you self-govern. 

That's what I mean when I say, "it's just you, me, and the chickens."

The Federation is no well-heeled monolith fueled by foreign financiers; its people with lives and jobs and families, housing issues, businesses to run, and more than their fair share to do, as we individually and collectively weigh in to restore our American Government. 

We each have to do whatever we can do in support of our cause and our people, our communities, and our values.  And somewhere in between all the rest, find those moments to see the beauty, and take a breath. 

In the midst of all the craziness, the bad news, the uncertainties, the concerns and tragedies and threats, it's hard to find your center and stay there, unmoved by all the drama and chaos, and yet, this is what we need to do.  Stop letting others direct and hold your attention on the evils of this world, and focus instead with all your heart and mind, on what is good and simple and true.
