International Public Notice: The Land of Oz 2.0 - Imaginary Money

 By Anna Von Reitz

We covered the practical chasm between fact and fiction, and the resulting divide between the actual thing and representations of it, in our earlier International Public Notice: The Land of Oz 1.0. 

It should now be no big surprise that there exists actual money and "representations" of money, too.  

There is actual coinage, which has value as gold or silver or some other precious metal, which is money, and there are representations of this coinage in the form of bills, certificates, bonds, notes, etc. as well as more abstract representations of money in the form of digital coins and  so-called "money of account" that is created out of thin air, simply by jotting down numbers on an account ledger. 

You can think of these representations of money in the same way as our cat example: there is an actual cat (or actual coins) and then there is a painting of the cat (a paper bill -- note or certificate), a photo of the cat (bonds), a video of the cat (digital coins), a drawing of the cat (money of account).... and the number and kinds of these representations of money are only limited by our imaginations and ability to create new media and new representations.    

Apparently this is Big News and we needed the new Department of Government Efficiency to bring it forward, but the "representation" of money has been going on for over a century and a half, and the creation of "money of account" out of thin air has been going on since the 1930's.  Elon Musk described his discovery in terms of "magic money computers" --- at the Treasury Department, HHS, DOD, etc. 

They just add digits to ledgers and print checks on demand, like you hitting the "print" button on your computer.


Realize: the only (legitimate) income the British Territorial U.S. Government has is taxes and fines and service fees. When they spend more than their income, they print the rest. 

The "rest" is government debt --- or in our case, government subcontractor debt, which imposes an automatic tax called "inflation" on the currency issued by -- or in our case, for -- that government. 

This silent, automatic tax devalues the currency by issuing new money to pay the excess government debt without anything new backing it.

Imagine cutting a pie into smaller and smaller pieces. Each piece has less value, less substance.  That is what inflation is and this is how it happens that the government --- in our case, government subcontractors --- accrue debt and cause inflation by spending more than they earn.  
 
There are two (2) currencies, the USD, aka, United States Dollar, which is asset-backed and directly funded, and the Federal Reserve Note, which is designed to absorb the government debt as a "loan" at interest from private banks that are part of a cartel of banks operated as the Federal Reserve.  

The USD has, over time, been backed by gold, by silver, and most recently by refined petroleum products, but it has always been backed by some form of commodity asset. 

The Federal Reserve Note which is issued "for" the British Territorial Government Subcontractor by the Federal Reserve is a debt note, basically a commercial I.O.U., that creates vast amounts of credit for the miscreants to spend, without however, crediting the actual owners of the assets and the source of all this purloined credit. 

Put another way, the Federal Reserve tracks the debt of the U.S. Government upon the issuance of each Federal Reserve Note.  They extract the cost of producing the bill and the seigniorage as profit the first time the bill is issued and, they count the full face value as a debt owed by the U.S. Government.  Plus interest.

The Federal Reserve Note is a Promissory Note -- the commercial equivalent of an I.O.U.  

After that, each time that same bill is presented for payment,  Americans and other people around the world have responded by exchanging actual goods and services for these already-discharged "notes" -- which, remember, are just a representation of money, not money, by definition.   

Even in the realm of commercial paper representations of money, the Federal Reserve Note is airy-fairy; it is not a negotiable note because it does not stipulate a date for maturity of the note and does not tell us what form of "payment" will be due.  

Imagine that you could use the same I.O.U. over and over again and be paid for it in goods and services each time --- and still never owe more than the face value of that one I.O.U.? 

When you consider the closed monopoly created by the Federal Reserve System and the population using the Federal Reserve Notes, this is exactly what is happening.  

The same I.O.U. is being passed around in this closed system; as it passes hands, it appears to be "spent" and "paid" by different people, but in the aggregate, what is really happening is that the same I.O.U. is being paid for and paid for and paid for in actual goods and services.  This process continues until the Federal Reserve Note is taken out of circulation and burned. 

Thus, the "representation" of money by Federal Reserve Notes is a total scam and always has been, but United States Dollars, whether backed by gold, silver, or petroleum, have always been legitimate representations of money.  

Please note that the British Territorial U.S. Subcontractor owes the Federal Reserve whatever the Federal Reserve is owed, and that the ultimate source of all payments and all substance of value associated with the Federal Reserve Note, comes from the living people, not the Federal Reserve, and not the U.S. Federal Subcontractor.  

So who is the ultimate creditor? 

The living people.  Whether they are U.S. Citizens, or Municipal citizens of the United States, or misidentified Americans being conned into paying for the "unlimited" credit their employees have purloined from them in collusion with the central banks. 
 
The Federal Reserve, which is a consortium of mostly foreign private banks, is not really part of our government at all, technically issues the Federal Reserve Note under contract "for" the government services corporations acting as our Federal Subcontractors, because they, according to their Constitutions, have no ability to issue credit for themselves. 

That is, this system has been purposefully constructed by the banks and the foreign Federal Subcontractors to do an end run around the requirements imposed by the Federal Constitutions. 

The United States Dollar (USD) is now and has always been an asset-backed currency, though the assets backing it have changed from gold, to silver, to refined oil products, aka, "the Petrodollar". 

The Federal Reserve Note (FRN) has always been a fiat currency -- a photo of a cat, not the cat itself -- based on the debt that our country and people purportedly owe the Federal Reserve cartel for the favor of printing debt-based currency for our federal subcontractors. 

People looking at this crazy-making system ask, well, why don't you just issue your own currency based on your own assets? 

Answer: the Federal Subcontractor charged with issuing our money was not operational, but it appeared to be, because the other Federal Subcontractors rushed in and usurped its duties without telling the American People.   

We have finally sorted it out, and we have issued the American Federation Dollar (AFD) based on our gold assets and we have claimed the United States Silver Dollars that are owed to us by the central banks that allowed our foreign Federal Subcontractors to access our assets and credit under False Pretenses. 

Realize: the Federal Reserve Note was never authorized by the people of this country, nor any Congress having the authority to speak for them on this issue. 

Realize: the Federal Reserve was acting as a private creditor of each and every American misidentified as a Federal Dual Citizen, and both the Internal Revenue Service and the IRS were private bill collectors for the Federal Reserve cartel, working a system of peonage against people who were purportedly employed by the federal corporations or dependent upon them  --- but who largely weren't employed by or dependent upon these "federal government" corporations at all.  

For those of us who have been keeping watch, none of this is news, we have always known the difference between a cat and a photo of a cat, and we apply the same discernment to the difference between actual money, which has value in-and-of-itself, and various "representations" of money, like the Federal Reserve Note.

The additional problem is that the federal government service corporations self-interestedly pretended that everyone in this country was "voluntarily" agreeing to act as a Federal Dual Citizen and contracting to tax their own private sector earnings twice --- once as a U.S. Citizen and once as at Municipal citizen of the United States --- as if their private earnings were "federal income" and as if they volunteered to pay what is otherwise an illegal payroll kick-back tax. 

And none of this is true.  

Americans were never made aware that they were being counted as Federal Dual Citizens and defrauded out of their birthright political status.  They never had an inkling that they were being misdirected to sign undisclosed and even unconscionable private citizenship contracts under color of law.   

So, every aspect of the Federal Reserve scheme is and always was dirty, from the conversion of our military into a mercenary force, to the pretense that our American Government was involved in their "civil war", to the pretense that the loss of the Federal Republic Subcontractor was an "emergency" for us, to the identity theft the central banks promoted, to the false claims in commerce made against average Americans by the so-called internal revenue services. 

In the Land of Oz, our government employees use representations of money "as if" it was money; that is, they pretend that a photo of a cat is a cat.  They pretend that a United States Dollar is the equivalent of a Federal Reserve Note.  They pretend that they legitimately inherited the assets, duties, and powers of the old Federal Republic without a contract from the People -- that is, State Citizens, of this country.  

All these various representations of actual money are called "legal tenders" and they are imposed via "legal tender laws" put into effect during the so-called Civil War and its aftermath when Lincoln's Federal Reserve Banks first issued "Greenbacks", and again after the Federal Reserve System started operations in 1913 and issued Federal Reserve Notes. 

Both Greenbacks and Federal Reserve Notes are legal tender for the foreign Federal Subcontractors, but they aren't money.

One day, our British Territorial "Federal" Subcontractors cut a deal with the "Federal" Reserve --- a deceptively named consortium of private banks, and the British Territorial U.S. Congress and their "President" running a corporation styling itself as "the United States of America, Incorporated" passed laws dictating that that all their U.S. Citizens and their dependents had to use this privately issued legal tender instead of money.  

So, other than a "something for nothing" swindle, in which actual money, actual goods, and actual services have been exchanged for incomplete and already discharged promissory notes, what else has been going on here?  Payment extraction.  The Constitutions require the States to pay for Federal Services with gold or silver, and require our Federal Subcontractors to operate on our credit.  

It appears that the central banks allowed them to pull a Substitution Fraud and Identity Theft Scheme on a national level, by pretending that foreign corporations calling themselves "The United States of America, Incorporated" and "the United States of America, Incorporated" and now even "the United States of America, LLC" are valid agents and representatives of our unincorporated Federation of States doing business as The United States of America.  

They don't have a single contract or agreement from us or anyone competent to represent us in these matters allowing this; the central banks and the Perpetrators simply agreed among themselves and allowed "representatives" of foreign corporations to replace our Fiduciary Deputies.  

Understandably, now that we are fully informed about what they have done "in our names" without our agreement, we object to this entire self-serving course of deceit, fraud, identity theft, illegal latching, and crimes of personage and impersonation promoted by the Bar Associations in support of these self-serving activities by the British Crown and the central banks involved.  

That's why we have issued substantial Common Law commercial liens against the Bar Associations and given Notice and Due Process to these crimes, and have also "fully informed" the law enforcement and peacekeeping forces of the world concerning these corporate impersonations. 

Nothing allows the Subcontractors to issue credit for themselves, so they did what all good identity thieves do.  They pretended that their similarly named corporations "represented" us,  and pulled a Substitution Fraud; using this ruse, confusing our unincorporated Federation doing business as The United States of America with their British Crown corporation doing business as "The United States of America ---- Incorporated" they gained access to our assets and our credit.  And the central banks allowed them to do this. 

This crime of identity theft and credit hacking is painfully common and familiar now, but back when this started and at this scale, it wasn't even imaginable.  This criminal impersonation has endured for over a century and a half without detection, simply because of the similarity of the names these corporations adopted, and because they all stayed mum about it for their own "national security". 

Bear in mind that both the actual assets and all the credit derived from using our assets as collateral to borrow against--- it all belongs to us and has always belonged to us, and not to our public employees, who purloined it all under False Pretenses and covered up this gross Breach of Trust and violation of their service contracts by maintaining silence and non-disclosure, by misrepresenting us, and undermining our political identity. 

There was never any valid reason or authority for the "system" they developed to pay themselves and squander our credit on their crony constituencies and war-for-profit schemes and other criminal self-funding and money laundering activities -- which the new Department of Government Efficiency is "discovering" now. 

This fraudulent mis-administration by our foreign Federal Subcontractors acting in bad faith has been going on since 1865, all under cover of secrecy, all under color of law, and the Federal Reserve has been promoting this outcome the entire time.  

Realize: there is no provision in any Federal Constitution for any "Emergency Powers" and no statute of limitations on fraud or inland piracy or illegal occupations by foreign mercenary forces.  

Realize: there is no provision in any Federal Constitution for any central bank Middlemen or any "Federal Reserve" to replace our own United States Mint and American Fiduciary Deputies responsible for disbursing our credit to our Federal Employees. 

The "value" backing the Federal Reserve Note was obtained by fraud, unlawful conversion, coercive illegal confiscation, barratry, racketeering, undisclosed peonage contracts and imposition of illegal payroll kickback taxes that reflected "income" the victims never received, but which was created in their names as runoff from money laundering schemes. 

Even the actual Federal Dual Citizens who work for these mercenary corporations weren't made aware of the fact that they were "voluntarily" signing up and enduring peonage benefiting foreign interests whenever they accepted federal or federal franchise employment. 

The Federal Reserve Note which, since WWII, has "represented" the value of labor resources, both the labor resources of actual Federal Dual Citizens and the purloined labor resources of Americans misidentified as Federal Dual Citizens, was legalized as "voluntary" peonage, when in fact it was not even conscionable, and even though peonage has been outlawed worldwide since 1926. 

The federal employees responsible have played fast and loose for a long, long time, but the Great Fraud is at last coming to an end. 

The foregoing should make it clear that actual money has value in and of itself.  Some representations of money have validity, for example, the United States Dollar, because they are backed by actual commodities. 

Other representations of money, like the Federal Reserve Note, are fraudulent by nature, because of the way they are created and the purloined nature of the assets used to fund them, and because of the way they are used in actual transactions within the economy, and the way they are used to substitute for a legitimate national currency issued by the American Government which can issue its own currency with no nods to the Federal Express banks, thank you, and because the Federal Reserve scheme represents a "legalized" contractual monopoly on currency in America. 

These are basic and endemic problems with the Federal Reserve scheme; there are more.  

The Obama Administration allowed unlimited amounts of Federal Reserve Notes to be produced off-shore, basically counterfeiting the Federal Reserve Note and distributing it to foreign international markets.  

A new economic theory has been promoted called "Modern Monetary Theory" that has resulted from research proving that the current government has to spend before it can tax.  This is because they are self-funding using a proxy, the Federal Reserve, to stand in the place of the actual government and issue a form of currency, a debt note, that they can spend as a form of credit.  Someone else's credit, and as it turns out, not the Federal Reserve's credit, either. 

The Federal Reserve has to issue the Federal Reserve Notes before there is a monetary product and proprietary economic activity to tax,  and the Federal Subcontractors have to order the creation of Federal Reserve Notes by "borrowing" them before they come into existence. 

No surprises there. 

MMT goes on to make the  observation that when the government goes deeper and deeper into debt, the private sector benefits to a more-or-less exact degree.  The economists then argue that government debt is good for business and the more of it, the better. 

No surprises here, either.  

All economies on Earth exist as public economies and private economies; the government can and does spend large sums of money within government agencies and departments, but ultimately, the public sector has only the private sector to trade with.  

The greatest recipients of government-based welfare as well as government vendor contracts are corporations that are franchises of the parent governmental services corporations. The next biggest hogs at the trough are privatized agencies and non-governmental organizations and public employee unions-- so what the MMT economists are observing is not -- as they seem to believe -- any benefit to the traditional economy, which has been asset-stripped by the Federal Reserve scheme.   

Think of it this way --- in a traditional healthy economy, government spending drives about 10% of all economic activity; in the legalized monopoly created by the Federal Reserve, government spending drives 90% of all economic activity, because government corporation franchises are soaking up the lion's share of what would otherwise be private sector gains. 

We see this every day when Mom and Pop stores stand vacant and Mainstreet American shrivels up and dies, unable to compete against the giant box stores.  Once Mainstreet is dead, the larger box stores eat the smaller box stores.  Soon the world, like the media sector of our economy, is reduced to an ever-smaller number of monopolies which further conspire against their customers to force sales and drive "social" agendas profitable to themselves. 

What the MMT economists are observing is a pickpocket transferring his ill-gotten gain to another one of his own pockets --- or as our ancestors described it, robbing Peter to pay Paul.  The conspirators who put together this current scheme on Jekyll Island more than a century ago were already aware of the inevitable result of their actions.  

The borrowed "value" of the fiat currency would be nibbled away by cycles of inflation and deflation and corporate bankruptcies, until it became totally worthless; at the same time, the gold these Vermin purloined and consigned to "off-ledger" accounts would become more and more valuable in the eyes of the victims of this fraud, so that the gold they picked up on the cheap in 1910 might sell for a hundred or even a thousand times more in 2025. 

Why has this happened?  It's simple enough.  When they forced the legal tender laws on the population of this country during the 1930s, they arbitrarily made their I.O.U.s, the Federal Reserve Notes, equal to the value of a United States Dollar defined at that time as an ounce of pure silver.  The same ounce of silver is now worth nearly 34 of their Federal Reserve Notes --- read that, the Federal Reserve Note is now worth 1/34th of its 1934 value. 

Realize that this isn't because the actual value of silver has changed; it's because the value of the Federal Reserve Note has declined. 

This is the predictable, historical, much repeated end result of all such fiat monetary systems, so the Federal Reserve Bankers meeting in 1910 already knew what would happen as a result of their activities. That was not the question.  

The only question was --- how long will it take to devalue the Federal Reserve Note to a point of no return?  

And now, we have that answer: 2025.  

And it's not because the rogues have run out of schemes to pump actual assets back into the rancid fiat currency: Scott Bessant, the new Treasury Secretary has already announced their intention to "monetize" the credit side of the "US" ledger --- that is, the prepaid credit that is owed to us, the living people, not their corporation.  

Once again, they are proposing to keep their boat afloat by latching onto our assets, in this case the prepaid credit assets on the AUTOTRIS account system, and use those as their credit instead. 

We object to this in no uncertain terms. 

We claim all beneficial interest in all assets of the old Federal Republic and everything that has followed since then.  That includes the gold that was attached to the BIRTH CERTIFICATE BONDS issued in our names and the receipts of the AUTOTRIS account system and the land and the soil and the cash and the corporate shares --- including the corporate shares in all the central banks that are actually ours, not theirs. 

Notice to Principals is Notice to Agents; Notice to Agents is Notice to Principals and vice versa in both trade and commerce; now and forever.

In 2024 we started using the new mint in Indiana to stamp and ship our silver rounds. 

After receiving the first three orders and finding the quality to be even better than the product from the old mint we started taking orders for these new Divisible one ounce silver .999 fine rounds.

The new and much larger minting company has multiple facilities around the country including in Indiana, California and Nevada.

I now have a good working relationship with the new company and am making even more announcements about the improved way we are doing this business. Here are some of the things that are changing for the better for you, our customers.

1. The old 500 ounce minimum order is gone. The new minimum order is now 60 ounces

2. They will be very competitive in their price structure, and right now we are offering a price plan based on the volume of metal in each order. See below.

3. The shipping will be faster, and the wait time will be less than it was. Each order will be shipped with full insurance. I made my first 3 orders and all those orders arrived here for local customers and our stock. The total time from order to arrival was just 12 days for those orders. Since then we have had several large orders go out and be delivered within 2 weeks.

These will be shipped from Indiana or Nevada depending on where the order is going, by UPS Ground, fully insured.

 We will still be accepting wire transfers, or cashiers checks like always. 

We can only lock an order after we have received the funds. Here is the formula we use to figure your price.

Go to this link on Kitco.com and look up the ask price of silver. https://www.kitco.com/price/precious-metals

It's in the first table on that page. 

For a 60 oz. to 99 oz. order, take the ask price and add $3.95 for the strike fee at the mint, and our profit per ounce. 

For a 100 oz. to 199 oz. order, take the ask price and add $3.75. 

For a 200 oz. to 299 oz. order, take the ask price and add $3.50. 

For a 300 oz. order and larger, take the ask price and add $3.25. 

All orders over 300 ounces will be the same $3.25 over spot ask price.

Take that number times the number of ounces (100 or over) and then add $25.00 for each 100 ounce box for shipping.

Once we have your funds we will run this same formula to finalize the price with shipping.

Be sure to call us when you are ready to order so we can answer your questions.

When you call I will get your email address and send you the bank info for wire transfers or the mailing info for your payment. You can then reply with your shipping address.

If you have any questions here is my contact info.

Office phone  406 889 3183  8 AM to 2 PM and 4PM to 6 PM weekdays.

Cell  406 253 4257  when I am not in the office. Try the Office line first.

pstramer@gmail.com   or  pstramer@eurekadsl.net

Thanks for your support over the years.  We are now open and taking orders.

International Public Notice: The Land of Oz 1.0

 By Anna Von Reitz

We have lived in the Land of Oz for so long that we take the existence of witches and flying monkeys for granted. 

Will someone please show us "the UN"?  Or, for that matter, Pepsico, Inc., or 3M, or Subaru, Inc.?   Or "the United States Government, Incorporated"?  

What happens when you try to produce these "entities"?

They don't exist.  

The evidence that they do exist is circumstantial.  We have lists of names of directors sitting on boards of directors, we have names of officers, including a CEO or "President", we have meeting minutes, all sorts of charts, graphs, and ledgers, receipts, projections, stock reports, logos, and we have products bearing trademarks, yes. 

But where, exactly, is the corporation itself?  Let the court produce it and sit it down in a chair....

You see, corporations don't exist.  They impact our lives for better or worse, they make profit or they don't, but in the plodding final analysis, they don't exist.  They are what lawyers call "legal fiction entities".  

Corporations are "defined" into quasi-existence, and there they remain---- or should remain.   

A closer examination reveals that a corporation is nothing but a gang of men and women organized for some purpose, having a mailing address and representatives, a name, and some form of structure imposed by the kind of corporation it claims to be.  

That's it.  Every corporation on Earth is a projection-- a figment of our imaginations and some arbitrary definitions.  

When the Corporation Craze started in the 18th century, men rationalized the quasi-existence of corporations by comparing them to ships. John Hancock famously referred to The United States as a "ship made of paper".  

The group of men and women responsible for the existence, operations, care and maintenance of a corporation also tend to remain somewhat in the shadows, defined only by their offices and functions: "Jerilyn Grant, our Personnel Officer....." 

Most important from the standpoint of those responsible, if the corporation goes bankrupt, only the corporation's assets are at risk. The shareholders take the loss, the bankruptcy court tidies things up, but the employees, directors, and officers of the corporation are unharmed (and left unaccountable) by "the corporate veil" --- the fact that a corporation doesn't actually exist. 

A corporation only appears to exist by "convention" --- we should say, "social convention".  We all agree that we'll pretend that corporations exist and act as if they do.  

We make up rules and procedures by which to define and govern the behavior of these imaginary things.  We set up special courts to enforce these rules and procedures on the men and women who "embody" the corporation -- to the extent that it can be said to exist -- for example, the Administrative Procedures Act of 1946. 

As the degree of sentience possessed by Artificial Intelligence has resulted from the computer's ability to define the existence of something called "a cat", let's go back to Felix familiaris ourselves. 

We have evidence that a specific cat exists: a breathing, living, furry, eating, moving, warm blooded, bewhiskered, clawed, defecating, scratching, meowing cat exists in our experience. We have named him "Felix".  

The name, "Felix", is a representation of the cat we experience and have evidence of.  

We like Felix and we have learned how to make paintings representing him, drawings representing him, photos representing him, videos representing him, too, and yet, none of these representations of Felix, in all these different mediums, are Felix. 

Felix, the actual cat, belongs to a different realm -- a realm that is impervious to all the representations of Felix that we may devise. Try as we might, a photo of a cat is not a cat, and the name of a cat is not a cat, either.   

The same circumstance, the same actualities, pertain to a man named John.  The name "John" isn't John, the photos, paintings, and videos we create to represent John aren't John.  

Now apply this to corporations, where we start with something we created out of thin air, in our imaginations, and then proceed to apply the same process of abstraction and representation of it.  We give it a name, for example, "Toyota".  

We define what kind of corporation it is: "C Corp, issuing stock shares, traded in public". 

We find investors who buy "shares" representing "percentages of ownership interest" in this essentially non-existent thing, and they trade these shares "representing" a percentage of ownership interest dictated by the total number of shares issued.  

As a shareholder of one share of Toyota stock, you might actually own one ball bearing in a giant sheet metal machine, but it's impossible to say which ball bearing or which machine or even if it has anything to do with sheet metal or car manufacturing, yet, at the end of the day, we have evidence that Toyota exists, in the form of a truck bearing the "Toyota" name. 

Stock certificates representing "shares" of ownership interest in corporations are fungible assets; there is no clear, defined physical thing attached to the "share of ownership interest".  A stock share doesn't grant you ownership of a single desk chair. It's a "generalized" ownership interest that goes up and down in value along with all other shares of that kind, depending entirely on how much other investors are willing to pay you for it.  

Toyota, C-Corps, and shares in "Toyota" are all nothing but paper and agreed-upon imaginings and representations of reality. 

Note: whereas a representation of Felix, say a photo or drawing of Felix, might allow us to recognize and identify the actual cat, all that we have to "actualize" a corporation are representations of it.   

After we paw back through the piles of paper, the trademarks, the logos, the ad campaigns, the name, the registration, the lists of officers and personnel, the physical products ---  "Toyota" still doesn't exist.  

The actual and factual world is already abstracted and "represented" by our process of naming and categorizing and labeling and describing: "Felix, a nine year-old American Short-Hair, breeding male, black and grey striped tortoise-shell, small notch on left ear...."  and further represented by paintings, drawings, photos, videos, voice recordings ---- but underlying all of this, there is, in fact. a living breathing cat at the bottom of the pile. 

This remains true until Felix dies or disappears the way cats are known to do, and then all we have left are all the representations we made of Felix, including his name, and evidence, like stray cat hairs and well-chewed cat toys. 

With corporations, when we sort through the piles of representations, all we find is another representation --- before it goes, "Poof!" -- and vanishes into the thin air from which it sprung. 

Felix, by which we mean the living cat, has "substance", but "Toyota" does not.  

Corporations and their representations are all airy-fairy and "insubstantial"; for them, there is no true embodiment associated with them at any point of their genesis, and this is why it is impossible to sit Toyota down in a chair and make it listen to your complaints. 

At best, you will find a CEO hired by a Board of Directors, and maybe the name and address of an Agent on dusty registration paperwork. 

These facts-- once examined-- should give any living man cause to pause and realize that with representations generally, and with corporations specifically, we are treading on the edge of lies and madness. 

It has become commonplace for people to "believe in" things that don't exist, and for them to accept representations as actualities -- which is dangerous.  

We aren't quite to the point of mistaking a photo of Felix for Felix himself, but we may assume that "Toyota" exists as a result of seeing it blazoned on the tailgate of a truck. 

Therein lies the rub. 

As we have become sloppier in maintaining our cognitive grid we are losing our overall grasp on reality; by not taking time to sort fact from fiction, by no longer knowing and respecting our own limitations as name-makers, we've slid inexorably into a nightmare world populated by symbolic representations and  unaccountable fantasms. 

When we start treating our representations of living men "as if" the representations were living men, we have clearly crossed the line and lost our ability to tell the difference between a cat and a photo of a cat --- which gives rise to all sorts of bizarre assumptions and expectations. 

If you expect a photo of a cat to purr, you will be waiting a long, long time. 

Similarly, if you expect a corporation to grow legs, sit in a chair, and take responsibility for its actions, doomsday will come and go. 

 As living, breathing, sentient men and women we have a responsibility to discern what is true and untrue, what is fact and what is fantasy; if nothing else, being "substantial" ourselves, we have skin in the game, and reason to impose our actuality over the realm of fiction. 

We have the ability, at least circumstantially, to hold the men and women who have created and operated and profited from corporations accountable for their actions.  

We can, and must, retain and exercise our role and character as beings of substance, represented by Dorothy's character in The Wizard of Oz.  

We have the ability to liquidate evil corporations just as Dorothy liquidated the Wicked Witch of the West, and we must exercise that ability--- not with a bucket of water, but with exposure of their evil deeds and the application of both common sense and those tools 
we have or can devise to hold corporations and those who operate corporations, accountable. 

The ability to create corporations is a privilege, not a right, so we can stem the tide of evil corporations by denying the ability to form corporations to those who have abused the privilege and used corporations to promote harm and criminality.  George Soros comes to mind.  

Short of liquidation, we can create and pass new Public Laws to prevent corporations that have engaged in harmful unlawful practices from forming other corporations. We can strip offending parent corporations of their franchises and subsidiaries. 

We can enforce already existing Public Laws against monopolies and predatory trusts and interlocking trust directorates. 

Once we focus on the clear and present danger posed by rampaging, unaccountable, lawless corporations causing problems for living people and our living planet, we can draw the line between our realm and theirs, closing the borders between actualities and fantasies, representations and facts. 

The Land of Oz may exist in a sense, together with all its denizens, but when the Flying Monkeys are armed with hypodermic needles and told to reduce the population of living men, it's time to strip away the "corporate veil" and deal with the very actual and factual men and women who are operating these corporations as a means to profit themselves by harming us. 

This Ultimatum from the Factual World goes for "governmental services corporations" and "non-governmental organizations" alike; it applies to all forms of corporations, public and private, for-profit, non-profit, or charity, S-Corp, C-Corp, B-Corp, Cooperative, Foundation, Trusts -- meaning Statutory Trusts, Partnerships, Limited Liability Corporations -- any kind of corporation at all, on land, on sea, or in the air, and to all forms of corporation "bodies" --- Congresses, Councils, Bureaus, Commissions, Tribunals, all their organizational units, districts, municipalities, precincts, parishes, citizenries, shareholders, individual franchises, personnel and officers and political parties included, as well as Boards of Directors and Boards of Governors and any other individuals or groups engaged in organizing and operating any form of registered corporation and any organization receiving the benefit of incorporation.  

It may be a "war" made of paper, but it will be short-lived; entities that are made of paper are easily shredded and burned, a fact that many courts that are operating as corporations, and many jurists who are operating as individual corporations, and many attorney firms that  are sheltering under Limited Liability Corporations, need to be forcibly reminded of; indeed, it is a fact that the members of the "U.S. Congress"--- Incorporated, need to be reminded of. Bank "Presidents", too. 

They are all engaged in a Grand Illusion, the equivalent of a play, each playing roles that they may or may not be aware of, all protected by the so-called corporate veil from bearing the full weight of their acts and atrocities.... until that veil is stripped away, a house falls on their heads, a bucket of inconvenient water rains down, their lack of both substance and standing is revealed--- and Dorothy lands with a thump, back in Kansas again. 

Just as the "creatures of statute" that we deal with in the Land of Oz have no standing in actual Law or Fact, what "represents" money in the Land of Oz is also a photo of a cat, and isn't money at all, a circumstance that is becoming increasingly problematic for the players on stage.  

Stay tuned for Land of Oz 2.0.

Farewell to Another Star Fighter

 By Anna Von Reitz

Last time I spoke with Neil Keenan he was upbeat, even chirpy, despite a recent bout with "medical" symptoms; it sounded like the usual recital of issues that come with men of a certain age, nothing too alarming, but in the background somehow I was remembering the numerous times that Neil endured being poisoned with exotic mixtures, everything from snake and frog and spider venoms to plain old nightshades and arsenic.  His constant motion left him vulnerable to spur of the moment poisonings that left him alive, but not entirely recovered. 

He explained early on that he had to take minute portions of poisons to build up his immune system, so every day, he had his "venom shot" that he tossed off as if it was nothing.  Just a faint and momentary snarl of the lips and he was on to other things --- but I remembered, and I thought --- helluva situation when you have to poison yourself to prevent being poisoned. 

Can't be too good for your liver, and then, of course, there are the professional hazards of an Amanah.  Lots of late night toe-to-toe events and exotic foods and drinks take their toll as surely as knives and bullets.  Neil could never call his time his own.  

Neil Keenan was a man on a mission from the first moment I met him, until I am standing here today, nine days after his death on the other side of the world, thinking, I didn't want to know, but I knew just the same. 

The old farm wives tell you to count your friends and relatives when you hear an owl hooting, especially a Snowy Owl, at the edge of a frozen birch forest just as the sun has slipped over the horizon and dusk has come.  Involuntarily, I thought of Neil.  That was eleven days ago. 

There was something in Neil's voice during our last conversation, a bravado that in one sense was the same as ever, the same old Fly Boy, but in another way, very subtly, his tone faltered. He told me he'd been poisoned again, but nothing to worry about.  Rumors of his death had been greatly exaggerated. 

He threatened to show up at the Anchorage International Airport "as soon as this thing is finished" --- and give me a big hug.  I imagined one of his famous bear hugs, though nobody could ever quite place what kind of a bear it was? 

Koala?  Blackie?  Grizzer Bear?  Kodiak?  

The "thing" he referenced was the return of all the stuff the bankers and politicians have stolen from the living people of this planet, work we both got engaged in many years ago.  That's how we met.  Neil was bringing a major claim and lawsuit against the New York Federal Reserve Bank, Southern District, the Baddest of the Bad, to force the rats to return gold that had been left on deposit with them by the Chinese Nationalist Government in 1928 --- to the Chinese Government.  

Neil's take on it, like mine, was simple enough -- the gold belonged to the Chinese people, not the New York Fed, which tried to claim that the gold had been abandoned by the original depositors and could not be returned to them because of that little thing called death and The Cultural Revolution. 

Neil was adamant, and I agreed; the Chinese gold should go back to the Chinese. So we doubled down and sank our teeth deep, watching as the corrupt court system turned tail spins on itself. They finally weaseled things around to an out of court settlement.  The gold, very quietly, got shipped back to China, but not before Deutsch Bank, the Eternal Bag Man of the Octagon Group, demanded the return of Nazi gold held by the same branch of the Federal Reserve. 

They were told they'd have to wait for years and take repayment in small tranches over a long period of time.  Nazis are considerably less cuddly and popular than the Chinese, when you get down to it. 

While Neil fought the good fight for the Eastern Hemisphere, I was left to struggle with the endlessly complex and labyrinth-like banking empires of the Western Hemisphere.  Late at night, my time, which was morning of the next day in Neil's world, he and I would commiserate over our latest headaches, hopes, and occasional joint projects. 

He was the only person in the world who understood my frustration with Karen Hudes, who, on one hand, was a very brave woman, who sucked it up and told the truth when it was most inconvenient, but on the other hand, could be so maddeningly coy and evasive about very basic points. 

Like Donald Trump still does, Karen used to make both Neil and I shake our heads, open-mouthed, silently screaming --- "If you went THAT far, why not just go all the way?"  We loved her, because she was brave and to an extent, she was a whistleblower, but in another way it was like a frustration dream listening to her.  She'd get right up to the moment of kicking the can into the Grand Canyon -- and stop. 

Like Donald Trump with the JFK records. 

For the record, we don't care what Mike Pompeo wants or thinks or says.  Ever since he described the Pandemic as a "live exercise" our edgy respect for the man settled into the same pattern: so near, and yet, so far.  

Almost there....but, almost doesn't count, does it?  

Same thing with JFK's famous speech a couple weeks before his death about the ruthless coterie of Bad Men he was going to expose.  "Going to" doesn't cut it.  "Going to" just makes you a target.  

When you actually let it fly and let the chips fall, the Bad Guys are too busy trying to save their own rumps to think too much about you.  

As the Japanese Elders say, "Do or not do."  Or as my Grandmother and Neil Keenan might both say, "For God's sake, get off the pot!" 

Don't threaten.  Don't tease. Take your shot and walk your walk, if you want a better world.  Neil Keenan never missed a beat.  Didn't stumble.  Didn't hesitate.  Didn't waffle. 

I appreciated that about Neil.  He was a man of constant action fueled by constant thought.  He'd consider the subject, weigh the facts, make a decision, and that was that.  Having made a decision in your favor, he'd be right there at your back, come Hell or high water.  

It was that integrity, at least in part, that led the ever-skeptical and watchful Elders to choose Neil to be the Amanah, a position he cherished and earned.  

All of humanity has lost a faithful friend, especially those living in the Eastern Hemisphere. I am saddened for them and for me. 

The meeting we planned for "when this thing is over" will never happen now; I won't ever see his smiling face and one of his flamboyant high quality Hawaiian shirts coming down the gangplank, aiming like a silk torpedo with a Brooklyn accent, straight at me. 

And my St. Patrick's Day observance, beginning with today, will never be the same, either.  

Now Neil and Karen Hudes are both gone, and I remain like that one stubborn leaf that hangs on the branches and flaps in the wind, thinking about the great people I have known, with all their endless diversity and ultimate uniqueness. 

There will never be another Neil Keenan, and part of me says, he earned his rest, while another small voice says, but I wanted him to see the fruition of what he worked so hard for! And a third voice in the inner choir says, silly, you know he'll see it, whether he's in the flesh or out of it.  So why are you sitting here waiting for dawn on Saint Patrick's Day, and grieving over Neil Keenan? 

Fair enough. Maybe it's just to commiserate with his spirit, when all the seeming obstacles of flesh and time and distance melt away, and only what is true remains, and I embrace him as my brother and my fellow-warrior in a fight that has taken our lifetimes and more.  

Neil and I never put the content of the struggle into words; we didn't have to. We just looked each other in the eye; he knew I knew and I knew he knew and that was that.  We could be at peace with each other and stand back to back, never saying another word.  Old cadre, veterans of a most Unholy War, we couldn't put that into words even if we tried to.  

Sometimes, it's not the words. It's the silence between them. 

Fare thee well, and the High Road to you, Neil Keenan!
Another star fighter is laid to rest, and I don't have your poetry, Neil, to ever say what that means to me. Let the silence between words remind me.  Let the wind wrapping around my hilltop remind me. Let the first small flowers of spring remind me.  Let the first blush of autumn remind me, until I, too, turn homeward.   

Much love, 

Granna
