International Public Notice: A Better Understanding

 By Anna Von Reitz

We have brought "news" forward to the American People and similar populations around the world that everyone is still struggling with months and even years after the first coherent reports. 

The United States Government is not the American Government.  

The Government of France is not the Kingdom Gaul. 

The British Crown (Corporation) is not the Kingdom of England. 

What we are telling you is not an exception.  Over the past 300 years, it has become the rule that what is posing as a national government isn't a government at all.  

What you are dealing with is a collusion of commercial corporations in the business of providing government services and municipal corporations also in the business of providing slightly different government services.  

Your national governments have been "privatized".  
Your land and soil jurisdictions have been vacated.  
Your courts have been shut down or left dormant. 
Your Law has been set aside. 

So what do you do about this? 

You remember who you are. 
You remember your Law and your Courts. 
You populate your land and soil. 
You rebuild.  You restore. 

You don't waste time tearing down the corporations and trying to "beat them" at their own game in their own courts, or wandering around at protest marches or signing petitions.   You hold them accountable in public and compel them to observe their service contracts, their treaties, their covenants. 

But privately, instead of wasting a great deal of time worrying about them, you place your energy and time and attention on building back and restoring your own stolen identity and government, so that you can invoke the superior jurisdiction of your own government, and straighten things out. 

This is precisely what we have done, peacefully, lawfully, legally, we have restored the "missing" government -- the American Government. 

So, now what?  We reorganize so that the tail is no longer wagging the dog.  We get the horse back in front of the cart.  We flip the canoe right-side up.  Employers give instructions to employees instead of letting the corporations run wild and suit themselves. 

Life gets a lot better and makes much more sense. 

Okay?  That is what we have been doing here.  That's what is being done in Africa.  That's what needs to occur all over the planet, wherever there are corporations posing as governments and running rough-shod over the people they are supposed to serve "in good faith".  

We understand that people are angry and many have been offended, attacked unjustly, been imprisoned and jailed under False Pretenses, robbed of the value of their labor and robbed of their assets, terrorized in their own homes by their own employees, had their children kidnapped and families torn apart by immoral racketeers -- and the list of harms promulgated by these corporations goes on and on and on.  

But when you act from a condition of being traumatized, you cannot act with clear vision and you wind up wasting your energy punching at wind, because at the end of the day, that is what corporations are: "legal fiction entities".   

Even if you accept the enormous burden of fighting them in their own courts, and even if you win --- the money that they use to pay their debt to you, is your money, taken from a trust account that you don't even know exists.  

So what have you accomplished?  You still haven't hurt anything but their pride, and maybe caused them to rethink their values and logic a little bit.  They are still sitting there, fat, dumb, and happy, wearing judge's robes while in fact functioning as prejudiced and incompetent bankers. 

We recognized this whole situation and chose to put our energy elsewhere.  

As a result, Americans have regained the assets of the defunct UNITED STATES, INC. --- the Roman Municipal Corporation that was the right hand of the two party collusion between the British Crown Commercial Corporation dba "the United States of America, Inc." and the Roman Municipal Corporation partner doing business as "the UNITED STATES" that was declared in 1937 via The Declaration of Interdependence of the Government(s) in The United States.   

A significant portion, somewhere between half and two-thirds of the Federal Government's bureaucratic apparatus and personnel, has fallen into our hands because the living Americans are the only ones who can bring forward a claim to inherit land and soil jurisdiction assets. 

Nobody else including Donald Trump has lawful standing to claim the assets of the land and soil, because: (1) Donald Trump and his corporation are limited to functioning on the sea; and (2) as a condition of his employment working as the President of a British Crown Corporation, he is required to adopt the status of a British Territorial Subject. 

This is not the first time that the colluding corporations have come to this same junction as a result of their cyclical and self-interested bankruptcies.  Always before the single man acting as "President" of both the United States of America, Inc. and the UNITED STATES (INC.) has been able to appear before the Trustees and claim that he was the "Representative" of the Creditors; and based on this, the Trustees made the President the Receiver of the assets of the bankrupt partner.  

This time, the actual Creditors showed up and, having the correct lawful standing, were able to inherit the assets of the bankrupt entity directly --- without representation. 

Donald Trump remains in control of the British Territorial Corporation doing business as "the United States of America, Inc." and they continue to act as the Successors to Contract under The Constitution of the United States of America.  

Trump's frantic efforts to seal the Southern Border are in response to demand that he do so in fulfillment of his service contract.  His effort to audit the Federal Agencies and get a handle on the spending authorized by our erstwhile Employees who have been running wild with our checkbook has been forced upon him, too -- as part of the bankruptcy settlement process.  His efforts to deport all the people who entered this country illegally are also mandated on him by the terms of his service contract, The Constitution of the United States of America. 

We were amazed last night to watch a video of veterans loudly claiming to have "sworn an oath to protect the Constitution" protesting Trump's deportation efforts, because they have apparently never read the document and what it requires.  They even supposed that Hondurans and Mexicans and Somalis and people from all over the world were owed the protections of the Constitutions simply because they are in this country--- and they are not. 

That simply isn't true.  Americans fought the war giving rise to the treaties and Constitutions; Americans have paid the bills, and so, American State Nationals and lawfully naturalized people are the only ones protected by the Federal Constitutions.  

People who entered this country in violation of our Public Law have no "constitutional" guarantees of any kind, and neither do clueless veterans who allow King Charles to assume that they are British Subjects, by not declaring and recording their choices otherwise. 

All these things listed above that people are blaming Trump for, are not his fault.  He inherited the whole situation and is doing his best under adverse conditions to bring his corporation back into compliance with its service contracts.  It's business, not politics. The "U.S. Congress" is equally responsible for compliance.

Apparently, some of the members of the U.S. Congress still haven't read the memo.  The Boyz, the real Boyz, are back in town.  Not only are they and the Trump Administration required to bring their activities into compliance with The Constitution of the United States, they are required to cough up the assets of the American People that they have been holding "in trust" and using to finance their "representation" of us.  

Under international trust law, they are required to return the assets that they purloined from us during their administration of our estates --- unharmed.  That is likely to be very, very difficult for them to do, and their typical response as the British Crown Corporation and its United States of America, Incorporated franchise, is not readily available anymore.  

They did their worst by unleashing their punitive bioweapon to kill as many of their creditors as possible, but now are in a pinch; not all those creditors died as quickly as they anticipated. And their plan, to simply claim ownership of the "transhumans" they say they created by adding a bit of harmful patented DNA to the victim's genome have been repudiated by the first new Public Law in over a hundred years and also by international commercial law.  The nature, purpose, and known result of the injections were never disclosed; their deceit voids their entire action. 

They had planned to claim ownership of all the victims of their vicious DNA meddling and "pollution of the blood" -- and then they would inherit the assets and estates of all those dead people, and be enabled to continue their rampages built on this "sacrifice to Molloch".  

Insanity has many faces, but none more vicious than self-interested delusion.  

As a result, both the British Crown Corporation and the Roman Municipal Corporations formerly managed by the Office of the Roman Pontiff, have been brought to justice and their well-oiled hand-off of assets belonging to others has been brought to a halt. 

This is good news for the living people of this planet. 

It will take wise and caring leadership and re-education on a massive scale to finish the job of removing the shackles that have been used to bind and cripple the living people, but the Divine Providence that has brought us thus far will not depart from us as we move forward together, as we search for and embrace truth, and as we finally embrace each other --- one by one.  

While the change has come in an instant, the recovery will take time, just as it takes time to recover from a wound.  Our minds and hearts have been wounded.  Our sense of justice has been raped.  Our conscience and our consciousness has been purposefully muddied and "relativized" and confused.  Our physical health has been undermined. We have been alienated and isolated on purpose, so that we imagine that we are alone, and so, lose courage and hope. 

All this is coming to an end, as the Hopi people foretold. 
From the four directions we come. In the four colors we come. 

Many have questioned why dismantling the district court system and redefining the work of the IRS (Donald Trump's Executive Order pertains to the Territorial Internal Revenue Service, not the Municipal IRS.) are among our first actions.  

We've already declared peace and declared our flag.  We are moving on to stop injustice and criminality in our midst and to return this country to its natural order and estate.  

District courts, whether we are talking about British Territorial District Courts or Municipal Corporation DISTRICT COURTS,  belong in the District of Columbia.  

In the past, the Territorial Courts held court in separate court buildings.  Military courts held their proceedings on the grounds of military installations.  Municipal courts held their proceedings in Washington, DC. 

That is the organizational arrangement we are returning to. 

In the past, Territorial Courts were careful to address only those persons naturally subject to their jurisdiction and  subject matter which was their responsibility by Law and contract.  They are being limited and returned to that level of conscious compliance under The Constitution of the United States of America. 

In the past, Municipal Courts stayed within the District of Columbia and within the physical confines of the City of Washington, DC -- as they are obligated to do by The Constitution of the United States. They only addressed actual Federal Civil Service employees and officials and subject matter that was delegated to them under The Constitution of the United States. 

In the past, Admiralty Tribunals occurred aboard ships on the High Seas and within maritime zones in facilities on Coastal Islands or along the Coast in carefully monitored and defined facilities known to be Federal Ports.  Admiralty Tribunals were limited to addressing active duty Naval Officers and Merchant Mariners and subject matter within their internal discipline of personnel or entrusted to them under The Constitution of the United States of America. We are returning to that arrangement, to the extent that it has been breached through the use of "colorable admiralty" in Municipal COURTS and presumptions of foreign citizenship misapplied to American State Nationals. 

Court Martials convened in spaces located within Federal Forts and Joint Bases established on land and set aside for these "needful" purposes. They addressed active duty soldiers and airmen, and subject matter under their internal discipline of personnel or entrusted to them under The Constitution for the united States of America and later, assumed to be administered under The Constitution of the United States of America.  

This has led over time to an insupportable situation where land forces have been conscripted under naval discipline and law.  We are putting an end to that practice and presumption and returning to a separate and distinct Martial Court and Admiralty Court arrangement. 

As the American Federation of States is and was the Original Instrumentality delegating the Delegated Powers, the Federation  is naturally enabled to intervene in administrative matters and now that the Municipal Government assets have been returned under default, the Federation has complete non-negotiable control of Municipal Service Vendors and contractual control of Territorial Service Vendors.  

This ensures that we have the authority to put the corporations and their bureaucratic apparatuses back in their appropriate roles and limited jurisdictions. 

This is good news for federal persons as well as the living people they serve.  

There will no longer be mass confusion and mystery surrounding the nature, jurisdiction, and subject matter of the courts -- a situation that has led to much corruption and injustice.  The above-described rearrangement of the courts within described physical and jurisdictional parameters is reasonable, beneficial to all, and part of our customs and traditions. 

Our American Common Law Courts at County, State, and Federal levels use plain clothes, meaning that our Justices don't wear robes and carry no obvious Uniform or Insignia of Office; they are recognized only by the fact that they carry a copy of the Geneva Bible in their left hand as they enter the courtroom and place it on the table or desk where they will be sitting during the proceedings. Our Justices traditionally sit at the same level as the people of the jury and the injured parties and those accused.  This betokens the fact that Justice is not the same thing as Judgement. 

Our people customarily rise out of respect for the Bible, not the office of the Justice, and all are reminded that our natural individual and collective rights and our ability to perceive truth and aspire to justice is of divine origin. After the proceedings and any sentencing has taken place, the justice takes the Bible back in his right hand and exits the courtroom or other space where the proceedings have taken place. 

Some people have tried to interpret this custom as a violation of the separation of church and state, but this is not about any theocracy.  The ethics of the Ten Commandments are accepted as Law worldwide; thus the presence of the Bible in American Common Law courts references and honors the customs and traditions of justice that are common to all mankind and which are founded on the fundamental ethical prohibitions against disrespect, ingratitude, lying, stealing, polluting, killing, and coveting.

All this takes us back to why we are focused on closing and otherwise removing the District Courts to their proper station and exonerating their judgements.  

The Territorial District Courts usurped colorable Admiralty Jurisdiction onto the landmass of The United States in May of 1865 with the establishment of ten so-called "Military Districts" covering the eleven States that were impacted by the actions of the Confederate States of America organization.  This was done under an assumed military authority that no longer existed; Lincoln had unlawfully converted our military forces into mercenary forces in 1861 -- four years prior.  Thus, any "military districts" were fraudulently constructed from the first and the entire action was predicated on deceit and malicious misrepresentation.  An officer of rank no less than a Brigadier General was placed in charge of each new "district" and "district court" and allowed to appoint whomever he liked to serve as judges.

These Territorial District Courts still operate as military-style Tribunals embedded throughout The United States and at both the Federal and State of State franchise levels. The original system of military districts has been quietly extended to exist as part of the administration of 57 so-called Territorial Administrative States used to replace and usurp against the lawful American Government and the States of the Union.  

As justification for this clear trespass against us in violation of The Constitution of the United States of America, the Perpetrators claimed that the failure of the Federal Republic created an "Emergency" and allowed them to claim otherwise non-existent Emergency Powers.  

There could be no legitimate military districts because our military was unlawfully converted to mercenary service prior to the establishment of any military districts; similarly, there has been no legitimate occupation of this country by any military force under the Law of War or Law of Peace, either one.  

The whole construct has been tainted by fraud.

As a result, these military districts need to be dissolved and the Territorial District Courts inhabiting these imaginary districts must be withdrawn. To the extent that the British Territorial Government subcontractor has need for Territorial Courts, they need to be reconfigured as Territorial Courts and operated as such within the District of Columbia or at Territorial Courthouses, similar to the arrangement prior to 1860. 

The situation with the Municipal DISTRICT COURTS is even more disturbing and duplicitous, as they piggy-backed their Municipal DISTRICTS on the backs of the aforementioned Territorial military districts, well-knowing that their contract, The Constitution of the United States, limited their reach to the District of Columbia and specifically, the City of Washington, DC.  

The process is exemplified by what we demonstrated happened in Alaska.  

The two citizenries of Federal Employees colluded between themselves to establish a Territorial Administrative State called "the State of Alaska" -- Incorporated, a franchise corporation of the United States of America, Incorporated.  

This is a process exactly like establishing a local franchise of Dairy Queen International, Incorporated. 

The "State of Alaska" thus formed by contract referendum was and is a Territorial Administrative State.  

The only ones to vote on the referendum were Federal Civil Service employees defined as "citizens of the United States" --- and their dependents, who had been stationed in Alaska for at least a year. 

The people of Alaska were not eligible to participate in or vote in this purported "Statehood Referendum".

A subsection of the "State of Alaska Constitution" adopted via this restricted referendum allowed for the creation of another separate "local government" --- a Municipal Corporation franchise of the UNITED STATES (INCORPORATED) doing business as the STATE OF ALASKA.  

These same methods of piggy-backing along, purportedly to provide "local government services" to British Territorial U.S. Citizens residing in Alaska, were used throughout this country, resulting in a proliferation of US CORPORATIONS and MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENTS and BOROUGHS and even COUNTIES being established and legitimized via an entire web of pre-existing commercial fraud, and all under color of law, and in violation of the primary service contracts enabling both the Territorial and Municipal Service Vendors. 

Worse than all the fraud and usurpation that went into this, was the use of these District Courts and even more so, the DISTRICT COURTS, to entrap and terrorize and defraud the living people that both these Service Vendors were supposed to serve "in good faith". 

Instead, these courts were used as undeclared foreign bill collectors, and used to commit endless and ruthless acts of personage and barratry against the living people of this country--- serving to defraud them, mischaracterize them, rob them, subject them to foreign laws, expedite illegal confiscation of their private assets under false pretenses of public trust interest in them and in their property as chattel, and other outrageous criminality. 

That's why these courts are being ordered to shut down and that's why they are being told to go back and exonerate all cases in which what appear to be the names of individual people are addressed as DEFENDANTS or PLAINTIFFS.  

They are being instructed to do this beginning with the most recent cases and to go back ten years initially; indeed, the last shall be first and the first shall be last --- because the damage is best rectified while it is still fresh.  All property seized under False Pretenses of public interest and personage must be returned; all jail time served must be repaid at the rate of daily incarceration fees plus interest, owed to the People of the State, and a minimum of $500 and maximum of $1000 per day of illegal incarceration payable to those who suffered jail or prison sentences.  

Property seized upon by these "courts" and illegally confiscated under the pretense that the owners were public persons or public trust interests is subject to immediate return to the victims of this fraud scheme.  

We do not recognize any "innocent buyers".  Those who unknowingly purchased stolen property are to be recompensed for what they paid for the property, plus reasonable and customary interest, plus any legitimate expense they can prove related to beneficial repairs and improvements to the property.  They have 30 days to vacate and will be charged triple for any damage they do to the property prior to removal.  

The Principle of Law to be observed is that you can't sell what isn't yours.  

It's unfortunate that so many families have been displaced and that so much damage has been done, but in the end, there is a limit to what we can do to make people whole without taking vengeance on those whose participation in these crimes against humanity was not conscious in nature.  

Similar provisions and reasons apply to the reassignment duties of the IRS; millions of Americans for the past six generations have been billed and charged under False Pretenses to the effect that they were rendered foreign citizens in their own country, as a result of undisclosed registrations of babies and unconscionable contracts and citizenship obligations attached to adults.  These Americans have been billed for mortgages, property taxes, utility taxes, etc., owed by foreign corporations and foreign public trusts named after them. 

All these taxes were expedited by the in-house adoption of the so-called Sixteenth Amendment, which was never ratified by the States of the Union.  

The U.S. Supreme Court nonetheless allowed the collection of Federal Income Taxes from Federal Citizens and citizens of the United States residing in the States of the Union, and from there, it was a simple matter of impersonating Americans as foreign citizens and charging them "as if" they were Federal Dual Citizens. 

This organized racketeering against the innocent living people of this country has run unchecked for generations while those secretly benefiting from this corruption have grown increasingly corrupt, violent and greedy.  

Instead of serving the people in "good faith", these institutions and their misdirected personnel have preyed upon their actual employers in an organized and conspiratorial fashion.  Phony public trust interests and phony mortgage billings and Federal Income Tax claims have been combined with the mechanisms of the corrupt "district" courts already described to concoct and enforce phony tax sales, phony tax assessments, phony court orders, and phony everything else has all aimed at defrauding, denigrating, and dispossessing living people and stealing assets from the innocent Americans who trusted what appeared to be their government.  

This can only be described as a National-level Identity Theft and Credit Hacking Scheme that started several generations before it became commonplace and recognizable. 

The restoration of the American Government means that all this criminality is at an end. These immediate steps outlined here and in The Proclamation of Restoration are undertaken to stop the crime in its tracks and begin the process of restitution.  

Similarly, the registration of American babies as British Territorial Subjects is being stopped in order to stop the crime at its source, preparatory to onboarding millions of Americans who have been illegally and unknowingly registered as British Territorial Subjects. 

We wish you to know that the crimes, the history, and the changes being made are real, are necessary, and are being enforced.  In a world full of "wa-ha" as our Hawaiian friends say, this is the truth, and it is fully backed by the restored American Armed Forces. 

Very soon, you will see a mighty reorganization of police, law enforcement, and peacekeeping resources, detailing new command structures, new functional groupings, and new interagency relationships that support a single new primary directive -- the directive of all legitimate functions of government always and everywhere: protect the people and their assets. 

We will no longer be harassed or terrorized by our own misdirected employees while paying billions of dollars every year for their good faith service and protection.  No more False Flags.  No more meddling in other people's business and pretending that it has something to do with defending America.

The Monroe Doctrine, along with the nasty and immoral wars for profit and colonialism it supported, is dead.  We are here to bury it. 
No more bureaucratic Nanny State.  No more institutionalized money laundering and commodity rigging.  No more lies. No more slavery. No more peonage. No more debt. 

The powers of government will not be employed in any dishonest or immoral capacity whatsoever and that is not just a corporation's "public policy".  That is a directive issued straight from the heart and mind of the American People.  

Anyone or any organization that continues playing the old Evil Game will be caught and fired, not eligible for rehire.  They may also be subject to fines and jail time, depending on the crime and circumstance. They will be held individually and commercially responsible for any acts or omissions contrary to these directives, which are in effect now. 

All UNITED STATES assets and personnel positions and US CORPORATIONS and all franchise corporations and personnel positions are subsumed and nationalized and encumbered free of debt and are the property of The American Federation of States doing business as The United States of America -- Unincorporated. 

This is not political.  It is not politically motivated.  This is business. 
We are exercising commercial liens and claims made many years ago in favor of the living people with hands and feet, in whom the blood flows and flesh grows.  It is for them and for their sakes that their status as Priority and Preferential Creditors has been asserted and recorded; it is for them and for their sakes that the anna maria riezinger trust was established to protect private property in the same way that The United States of America (Unincorporated) was created almost 250 years ago to protect public property interests owed to the American People ---and for their benefit my Irrevocable Will was written and published and my beneficial interest in the land of this country was preserved intact--- all this was done as one labor of love and intent, so that all Americans retain their unalienable birthrights and property interests, ready to reclaim.

First Sunday In Advent

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

INSTRUCTIONS ON ADVENT

What is the meaning of Advent, and what do we understand by the term?

The word Advent signifies coming, and by it is understood the visible coming of the Son of God into this world, at two different times.

It was when the Son of God, conceived of the Holy Ghost in the womb of the immaculate Virgin Mary, was born, according to the flesh, in the fullness of time, and sanctified the world by His coming, for which the patriarchs and prophets had so longed (Gen. 49:10; Is. G4:1; Lk. 10:24).

Since Christ had not yet come, how could the Just of the Old Law be saved?

Immediately after their sin, God revealed to our first parents that His only-begotten Son would become man and redeem the world (Gen. 3:15). In the hope of this Redeemer and through His merits, all in the old covenant who participated in His merits by innocence or by penance, and who died in the grace of God, were saved, although they were excluded from heaven until the Ascension of Christ.

When will the second coming of Christ take place?

At the end of the world when Christ will come, with great power and majesty, to judge both the living and the dead.

What is Advent, and why has the Church instituted it?

Advent is that solemn time, immediately preceding Christmas, instituted by the Church in order that we should, in the first place, meditate on the Incarnation of Christ, the love, patience and humility which He has shown us, and prove our gratitude to Him, because He came from the bosom of His heavenly Father into this valley of tears, to redeem us; secondly, that we may prepare ourselves by sincere repentance, fasting, prayer, alms-deeds, and other works pleasing to God, for the coming of Christ and His birth in our hearts, and thus participate in the graces which He has obtained for us; finally, that He may be merciful to us, when He shall come again as judge of the world. "Watch ye, for ye know not at what hour your Lord will come" (Mt. 5:42). "Wherefore be you also ready; because at what hour you know not, the Son of man will come" (Mt. 24:44).

How was Advent formerly observed?

Very differently from now. It then commenced with the Feast of St. Martin, and was observed by the faithful like the Forty Days' Fast, with strict penance and devotional exercises, as even now most of the religious communities do to the present day. The Church has forbidden all turbulent amusements, weddings, dancing and concerts, during Advent. Pope Sylverius ordered that those who seldom receive Holy Communion should, at least, do so on every Sunday in Advent.

How should this solemn time be spent by Christians?

They should recall, during these four weeks, the four thousand years in which the just under the Old Law expected and desired the promised Redeemer, think of those days of darkness in which nearly all nations were blinded by saran and drawn into the most horrible crimes, then consider their own sins and evil deeds and purify their souls from them by a worthy reception of the Sacraments, so that our Lord may come with His grace to dwell in their hearts and be merciful to them in life and in death. Further, to awaken in the faithful the feelings of repentance so necessary for the reception of the Savior in their hearts, the Church orders that besides the observance of certain fast days, the altar shall be draped in violet, that Mass shall be celebrated in violet vestments, that the organ shall be silent and no Gloria sung. Unjust to themselves, disobedient to the Church and ungrateful, indeed, to God are those Christians who spend this solemn time of grace in sinful amusements without performing any good works, with no longing for Christ's Advent into their hearts.

What are Rorate High Masses, and why are they celebrated?

They are the solemn high Masses celebrated in some countries in commemoration of the tidings brought to the Blessed Virgin by the Archangel Gabriel, announcing to her that she was to become the Mother of God; they derive their name from the words of the Introit in the Votive Mass, Rorate coeli desuper. They are celebrated very early in the morning because the Blessed Virgin preceded our Lord, as the aurora precedes the rising sun.

PRAYER IN ADVENT O God, who by Thy gracious Advent hast brought joy into this world, grant us, we beseech Thee, Thy grace to prepare ourselves by sincere penance for its celebration and for the Last Judgment. Amen.

FIRST SUNDAY IN ADVENT

The first Sunday in Advent is the first day of the Church Year, and the beginning of the holy season of Advent. The Church commences on this day to contemplate the coming of the Redeemer, and with the

prophets to long for Him; during the entire season of Advent she unites her prayers with their sighs, in order to awaken in her children also the desire for the grace of the Redeemer; above all to move them to true penance for their sins, because these are the greatest obstacles in the path of that gracious Advent; therefore she prays at the Introit of the day's Mass:

INTROIT To Thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul: in Thee, O my God, I put my trust; let me not be ashamed: neither let my enemies laugh at me: for none of them that wait on Thee shall be confounded. Show me, O Lord, Thy ways, and teach me Thy paths (Ps. 24). Glory be to the Father.

COLLECT Raise up, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy power, and come; that by Thy protection we may deserve to be rescued from the threatening dangers of our sins, and to be saved by Thy deliverance. Through our Lord.

EPISTLE (Rom. 13:11‑14). Brethren, knowing the time, that it is now the hour for us to rise from sleep: for now our salvation is nearer than when we believed. The night is past, and the day is at hand. Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and put on the armor of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day: not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and impurities, not in contention and strife; but put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ.

What does St. Paul teach us in this epistle?

After fully explaining the duties of a Christian life to the Romans who were converted mainly by St. Peter, he exhorts them to hesitate no longer to fulfil these duties, and he seeks to move their hearts by this time of grace, presented them by the Christian dispensation, and by the shortness of the time of grace.

What is here meant by sleep?

The stupidity and blindness of the soul that, forgetting her God, is sunk in a lukewarm, effeminate, slothful and lustful life, which, when it is gone, leaves nothing more than a dream.

Why does St. Paul say, "salvation is nearer"?

He wishes to impress upon the Romans that they now have far greater hope of salvation than when they first became Christians, and that they should secure it by a pious life, because death, and the moment on which depended their salvation, or eternal reward, was drawing near. "What is our life," says St. Chrysostom, "other than a course, a dangerous course to death, through death to immortality?"

What is the signification of day and night?

The night signifies the time before Christ, a night of darkness, of infidelity and of injustice; the day represents the present time, in which by the gospel Christ enlightens the whole world with the teachings of the true faith.

What are "the works of darkness"?

All sins, and especially those which are committed in the dark, to shun the eye of God and man.

What is the "armor of light"?

That faith, virtue and grace, the spiritual armor, with which we battle against our three enemies, the world, the flesh, and the devil, and in which armor we should walk honestly before all men. A Christian who in baptism has renounced the devil and all his pomps, must not live in vice, but must put on Christ Jesus, that is, must by the imitation of Christ's virtues adorn his soul, as it were, with a beautiful garment. This text (verse 13) moved St. Augustine to fly from all works of uncleanness in which he had been involved, and to lead a pure life which he had before thought difficult.

ASPIRATION Grant, O Lord, that we may rise by penance from the sleep of our sins, may walk in the light of Thy grace by the performance of good works, may put on Thee and adorn our souls with the imitation of Thy virtues. Amen.

GOSPEL (Lk. 21:25‑33). At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: There shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars: and upon the earth distress of nations, by reason of the confusion of the roaring of the sea and of the waves, men withering away for fear and expectation of what shall come upon the whole world. For the powers of heaven shall be moved; and then they shall see the Son of man coming in a cloud with great power and majesty. But when these things begin to come to pass, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is at hand. And he spoke to them a similitude: See the fig tree, and all the trees; when they now shoot forth their fruit, you know that summer is nigh. So you also, when you shall see these things come to pass, know that the kingdom of God is at hand. Amen I say to you, this generation shall not pass away till all things be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

 

Why does the Church cause the gospel of the Last Judgment to be read on this day?

To move us to penance, and to induce us to prepare our souls for the coming of Christ, by placing the Last Judgment before our minds. Should not the thought of this terrible judgment, when all good and all evil will be revealed, and accordingly be rewarded or punished in the presence of the whole world‑should not this thought strengthen us in virtue!

What signs will precede the Last Judgment?

The sun will be obscured, the stars will lose their light and disappear in the firmament (Is. 13:10), lightning and flames will surround the earth, and wither up every thing; the powers of heaven will be moved, the elements brought to confusion; the roaring of the sea with the howling of the winds and the beating of the storms will fill man with terror and dread. Such evil and distress will come upon the world, that man will wither away for fear, not knowing whither to turn. Then will appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven, the holy cross, the terror of the sinners who have scorned it, the consolation of the just who have loved it (Mt. 24:30).

Why will all this come to pass?

Because as the people love the creatures of God so inordinately, more than the Creator, and use them only to His dishonor, He will destroy them in this terrible manner, arming all creatures for vengeance against His enemies (Wis. 5:8‑24, and showing by the manner of their destruction the evils which will fall upon all sinners. The darkness of the sun will indicate the darkness of hell; the blood-red moon, the anger and wrath of God; the disappearance and falling of the stars, will represent the fall of sinners into the abyss of hell and their disappearance from earth; and the madness of the elements, will exhibit the rage of the beasts of hell. Sinners will then vainly, and too late, repent that they have attached their hearts to things which will end so horribly, and that only increase their torments.

Why does Christ nevertheless command: "Lift up your heads, for your redemption is at hand"?

These words are spoken to the just who as long as they live on earth are like prisoners and exiles, but who at the Last Judgment will be taken body and soul into their long desired fatherland, the kingdom of heaven: into the freedom of the children of God. These will have reason to raise their heads, now bowed in mourning, and to rejoice.

How will the Last Judgment commence?

By the command of God the angels will sound the trumpets, summoning all men from the four parts of the earth to come to judgment (I Thess. 4:15). Then the bodies of the dead will unite with their souls, and be brought to the valley of Josaphat, and there placed, the just on the right, the wicked on the left (Mt. 25:33). Then the devils as well as the angels will appear; Christ Himself will be seen coming in a cloud, in such power and majesty that the sinners will be filled with terror. They will not dare to look at Him, and will cry to the mountains to fall upon them, and to the hills to cover them (Lk. 23:30).

How will the judgment be held?

The book of conscience, upon which all men are to be judged, and which closed with this life, will be opened. All good and evil thoughts, words, deeds and motives, even the most secret, known only to God, will then be as plainly revealed to the whole world as if they were written on each one's forehead; by these each one will be judged, and be eternally rewarded, or eternally punished.

O God! If we must then give an account of every idle word (Mt. 12:36), how can we stand in the face of so many sinful words and actions!

Why will God hold a universal public Judgment?

Although immediately after death, a special private judgment of each soul takes place, God has ordained a public and universal judgment for the following reasons: First, that it may be clearly shown to all how just has been His private judgment, and also that the body which has been the instrument of sin or of virtue may share in the soul's punishment or reward; secondly, that the justice which they could by no means obtain in this life, may be rendered before the whole world to the oppressed poor, and to persecuted innocence, and that the wicked who have abused the righteous, and yet have been considered honest and good, may be put to shame before all; thirdly, that the graces and means of salvation bestowed upon each, may be made known; fourthly, that the blessed providence of God which often permitted the righteous to suffer evil while the wicked prospered, may be vindicated, and it be shown on that day that His acts are acts of the greatest wisdom; fifthly, that the wicked may learn the goodness of God, not for their comfort or benefit, but for their greater sorrow, that they may see how He rewards even the slightest work performed for His love and honor; finally, that Christ may be exalted before the wicked on earth as before the good in heaven, and that the truth of His words may solemnly be made manifest.

ASPIRATION Just art Thou O God, and just are Thy judgments. Ah, penetrate my soul with holy fear of them, that I may be kept always in awe, and avoid sin. Would that I could say with the penitent St. Jerome: "Whether I eat or drink, or whatever I do, I seem to hear the awful sound of the trumpet in my ears: `Arise ye dead, and come to judgment."'

International Public Notice: For Clarity

 By Anna Von Reitz

There is no "Federal Republic" at this moment.  Restoring the Federal Republic would require restoring the Confederation of States, and we are still some distance away from being able and prepared to do either one of those things.  

It is literally impossible for Mr. Trump and other people who are acting as British Subjects to restore a new American Republic of any kind.  By definition, the only kind of Republic they can form would be a British Territorial Republic. 

There is no provision under any treaty or Constitution contract allowing the British Territorial U.S. Government to form a Republic and let the American People and the rest of the world assume that it is an American Republic --- when it isn't. 

We've had Scottish Commercial Corporations pass themselves off as our unincorporated Federation of States doing business as The United States of America.   We've had Delaware Corporations and now, London-based LLC's trying to pull the same tricks and a whole slew of Municipal Corporations impersonating The United States, too. 

Enough is enough.  We are here.  We are awake. We see through your puerile deceit and we have called all the former Colonialist Governments on the carpet for it.  We see you.  We see what you did --- and what you are still doing.  

We understand how you "European Colonial Powers" pretended to shut down your oppressive extraterritorial regimes and give up your immoral pillaging of other countries.  

We see how that was just a feel-good story for the Press, and how you simply changed the jurisdiction of your Colonial operations and kept right on skating.  

Yes, we see it all, clear as day, and we also see how you, Britain, abused your position of trust as a Federal Subcontractor, to obtain by guile what you could never obtain by force of arms.  We see your gross Breach of Trust and how you weaponized the District Court System to plunder and pillage Americans under color of law.  

There is also no excuse for either Subcontractor disrespecting the Public Laws of this country, including the Immigration and Naturalization Laws.  

Mr. Trump's contractual obligations require him to close the borders and deport anyone who arrived in this country without obeying the process stipulated by our Public Law.  That's what he is now doing and if Joe Biden had honored his Constitutional obligations and limitations, we wouldn't all be suffering this monumental crisis. 

Any veteran who thinks that the Constitutions apply to people in other countries had better get a grip and make sure that the Constitutions he fought for and swore an Oath to still apply to him, because in a lot of cases, they don't. 

Why?  

Because he, himself, has been misidentified and mischaracterized as a British Subject and British Subjects are not owed any guarantees under the Constitutions.  Neither are Hondurans, Mexicans, or people from any other foreign nation. 

To come back under the protections and guarantees of the Constitutions that our American-born men and women have fought to preserve, they have to -- on the public record -- withdraw from any presumption of U.S. Citizenship and adopt their birthright status as American State Nationals instead. 

American State Nationals are the ones protected by the Constitutions --- not anyone else.
