Granna Bytes: Scalpers and Pawn Shop Owners and Saints

 By Anna Von Reitz

I know, many of you are desperate for help, for economic relief, for spiritual renewal, for defense against the ceaseless bloody "lawfare". 

I know --- but stop for a moment, and imagine the actual situation. 

Pretend you are a Pawn Shop Owner and you are fencing stolen goods --- an unbelievably  humongous volume of stolen goods.  

And you get caught. 

The first thing you do is come up with a story.  A narrative. This story always involves an innocent Third Party.  The second thing you do is to go bankrupt, and exit the scene, stage left. 

In 2015, Pope Francis did exactly this with respect to the UNITED STATES, INC.  The stolen loot that the UNITED STATES held in trust was palmed off on an innocent Third Party.  

The UNITED STATES corporation itself was bankrupted under Chapter Seven Involuntary Bankruptcy -- dead, out, no reorganization plan, no nothing, straight up out of business. No prisoners, no comebacks, no salvage. 

So this was taking place during the final two years of Obama's presidency, occupied all of Trump's first term, all of Biden's term, and is finally settling now. 

Nobody told you --- nobody but me, anyway, and I told you because I caused the meltdown and made the claim for your assets to be returned to you, all you people with hands and feet. 

I didn't win any friends in Venice, but then, the parasite they created was bleeding them dry, too.  Evil has a tendency to do that. 

The narrative was that the long-lost heir to King David of Israel had been found and he was the actual heir of all the stolen loot.  The innocent Third Party was a sincere Christian man of African descent. All the central banks literally rushed to dump the stolen goods on him.  He had Rothschilds and Rockefellers lined up around the block. 

So now, the good news is that the loot has been found and it is in the hands of an innocent Third Party, modern-day King David, and the guilty parties are hoping that you all believe this narrative, because, well, otherwise, it gets very nasty for everyone involved. 

They want us to pretend that we never saw behind that curtain, right? Toto never grabbed the edge of it in his teeth and pulled, Dorothy never dumped her pail of water over the witch's head, it was all imaginary, anyhow, no harm done, shuffle, shuffle.... 

Granna agrees that it should not be yet another reason for another blood-bath and more evil and more violence.  So, to an extent, she has gone along and even helped expedite the administrative end of this fairytale, but she wants you to know the truth. 

Because it's the Truth that sets you free. 

There's a lot of talk about "dynasty trusts" and people in the Assemblies getting all excited, but be wary, children.  I fought the fight to get you where you are, but from here on the terrain is not "one size fits all".  From here on, you have to wake up. 

While I do believe that the stolen loot is in the hands of a good man, there are plenty of less savory characters out there, scalpers ready to give you a few pennies on the dollar, Executors de Son Tort waiting for an opening to get back in the saddle and ride you into the dust. 

What they desperately want control of is your lawful American Infant Decedent Estate, which includes your Given Name, and they can only get that if you agree to give it to them in the form of a trust. 

Now, living men don't need trusts, it's only when you are dead, or disabled, or absent that you need a trust and trustees to handle your affairs and control your assets for you.  

Admittedly, any of us can wind up dead at a moment's notice, and anyone can become disabled, or fall off a boat and be marooned on a desert island like Robinson Crusoe.  So we all need to think ahead and establish a witnessed "Last Will and Testament" and if we have minor children, we need to give directions about who their Guardians should be, and any bequests we have to give them. 

Except in extraordinary circumstances, like my circumstances when I wrote my Irrevocable Will, most people should NEVER sign an irrevocable will or "irrevocable" anything else, especially not an irrevocable statutory trust.  

If someone comes to you with a trust document and it's full of all sorts of Federal Code and State Statute language, that is a statutory trust.  Get up and run, like an antelope, away.  

I created an irrevocable common law Will because I knew what I had to bequeath to all of you and I knew what I wanted and needed to retain for myself and my family.  So I did it and did it once and for all, and I published it for all to see, so you can all see that I am not pulling any punches or accepting anything but what's mine -- legitimately mine. 

The rest of all I claimed, I left to each one of you, so you can step forward and claim what's yours, too, while I am still alive, or for fifty years after I signed and dated the Irrevocable Will.  

Now an innocent Third Party, a man of good character and feeling, has received all the loot -- the "big pile of mittens" -- that needs to be sorted out, but that does not mean that everything is settled and easy and one-size-fits-all.  

We have the means, The Global Family Banks, and our Treasury, set up and ready to deliver relief and remedy to eight billion people, regardless of age, sex, color, creed, religion or anything else.  All you have to do is declare your intention to adopt your birthright as a man or woman born on the land and soil of ____________, and provide some reasonable proof that you are who you claim to be. 

Rather than worry about any trust, the first thing you should do is get signed up with "the means" -- so that you have an account ready.  This doesn't cost anything and you can do it from home on your own computer or a library computer or any place where you can scan and upload three pieces of paper. 

This might be difficult for elders and those who are not used to computers or have very limited access to computers even though it is very easy for those with the required equipment and skills.  We are depending on you all to help each other -- don't gouge, don't self-serve and don't take advantage of anyone -- do what's right and don't look back. 

Be done with evil.  

Leave it where it belongs --- in the past. 

Once you have your account, hang onto it.  Be aware that it is precious and the key to a gateway to a whole new world. 

Most of you, your entire lives, have been "at sea" whether you knew this or not.  Imagine how different and how magical it is, to come home and have the land and soil beneath your feet.  Or, using the "Wizard of Oz" analogy, the difference between Oz and Kansas. 

There are those aligned with evil who will try to steal the estates of the living.  There will be "scalpers" intent on trying to cheat you out of your estates for a few pennies on the dollar -- keeping the rest for themselves.  There will be saints walking among you as true brothers and sisters, acting in love and kindness, with generosity and wisdom.

There will be Opportunists trying to sell you all sorts of trusts and services.  Keep your heads, seek counsel, sign nothing that you are not absolutely sure of.  Sign nothing that is "irrevocable".  Sign nothing that references Federal Code and State Statutes. 

This much I know: what Jim and I planted, was love and sacrifice for others, and it will have its fruition.  What we planted was good and for the good of all living people and for our living planet, and just as a corn seed brings corn, and a radish seed brings a radish, the harvest of our work in this world must come.  As strange and bittersweet as it is for me that he is not here to see the harvest, the harvest will come, nonetheless. 

You reap what you sow.  

We have sown love for mankind and for the Earth; we have sown faith in Mankind's ability to govern itself; we have sown charity and generosity toward all people; we have sown abundance and happiness for all.  We have sown beauty.  We have sown life. 

So those are the fruits that must inevitably return.

Granna Bytes: Lawlessness is Lawlessness

 By Anna Von Reitz

The "Rules-Based International Order" has devolved into obvious blatant lawlessness, and somehow, the people in DC think that this lawlessness is okay and that they won't suffer consequences.  

Like the schoolyard bully, they have no concept of life's prerogative to change. 

The "Rules-Based International Order" refers to not only financial architecture put in place by the Inner City of London and Government of Westminster, but also the "legal but not lawful" architecture established by the Bar Associations and their members, which are then applied by the Central Banks and Wall Street and Wall Street's equivalents, and finally, enforced by the US Military.  

This is sometimes referred to as "the Special Relationship".  

Basically, this is a coercive white-collar scheme that grew out of the old colonialist system, built to secretly defraud and denigrate and cheat everyone else out of everything, while the supreme hypocrites of the "in" crowd pretend to be the bastions of law and order.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdmaB3SoJ9w

House Speaker Johnson reassures everyone that what Trump is doing is perfectly legal --- but not lawful, and there's the rub.  

As the President of a British Crown Corporation involved in shipping on the High Seas, it's legal for him to fire upon a perceived threat.  That does not forgive him for the lawful responsibility to keep the peace as a defender, not an aggressor, while flying our Title IV flag. 

There is a reason that the federal Constitutions use the word "defend".  It's because our intention is and was to use our soldiers and sailors as little as possible, and only when attacked. 

However, that doesn't make much money for mercenary service corporations.  They kick against reverse-incentives for doing their jobs. Peacetime means that careers languish, and at a certain point, the career soldiers have worked themselves out of a job. 

It's a no-brainer to understand why they went into business for themselves after the Civil War, hiring out to the highest bidder.  

It's also understandable why they didn't tell our sons and daughters the truth about being a mercenary service --- most of our kids wouldn't have volunteered if they'd known, and if they did, they would have demanded a lot more money.  

Patriotism keeps the ranks full and the costs to clients down. So once Lincoln engineered the secret unlawful conversion, they just kept their mouths shut, except to whistle Yankee Doodle. They chalked their non-disclosure up to keeping their competitive edge.

The "US Military" has been running around the planet blowing up anything and anyone while flying our Title IV Flag and charging the expense off to us, as if their foreign service contracts were in defense of this country, for 165 years.  

It's just as unlawful and immoral as it ever was, but because "legal" is a much lower standard, they've gotten away with it and profited from it at everyone else's expense.  Including ours. 

The abuse of our Title IV flag by the Trump Administration has everyone assuming that "the Americans" are responsible for the "war" against Iran,  but our country isn't at war with Iran and Trump isn't defending us by attacking Iran.  He's fulfilling a job contract funded by three foreign powers: Britain, Germany, and Israel.

Britain, because it is a snake and wants to make Trump look even worse before the midterm elections: notice Starmer hypocritically addressing Parliament about logic, and law, and decency, while funding the illogical, unlawful, and indecent attack on Iran? 

The poetic Native American description comes to mind: "forked tongue".  

Germany because it is sick of freezing to death in the dark.  

Israel, because when the British Government makes a mistake, they always make someone else pay for it -- and usually, the payee is the victim of their mistake in the first place.   

Please note that Germany was a victim of the Nordstream Pipeline sabotage, another British "mistake", and yes, Germany is paying for it. 

Israel is one-tenth the size of Iran and has one-tenth of Iran's population, lives next door to Iran -- "two doors down on the right", but it feels compelled to fight with Iran.  Why? 

Iran hasn't fought a war outside its own borders for over 200 years. 

The idea that Iran is a threat to Israel is a mirage created by Iranians who are seduced into MI6/CIA programs -- programs that pay them to attack Israel. 

See how this works?  

The parasites find Iranians who are fed up with Israel; they then use those people to attack Israel, Israel reacts to this, thinking Iran's government did this, but actually it's all MI6/CIA pot-stirring and evidence-planting. 

Just wait, in a day or two you can expect a big cover story about nerve gas and deadly viruses and bacteria being discovered in Iranian laboratories by crack Delta Force and Navy Seal teams.  They will find plans to deploy these toxins against the USA. 

Who else has been deliberately set-up to be the target? 

And who else MUST be the target, in order for the USA, Inc. to charge the cost of all this off against our people and our country? 

The Perps get paid by Britain, Germany, and Israel to do this, then they charge their expenses off to our country, no matter what the expense is.  

By any Con Artist's wildest dreams, the US "military" is in a sweet spot -- financially.  Get your mercs for cheap, sell their services to the highest bidder, charge all costs off to the Americans and make sure the rest of the world blames "the Americans" for whatever evil you are doing at the behest of oil companies and tech corporations and insurance companies.... 

Right now, Iran is carpet bombing Israel the same way Israel carpet bombed Gaza, and ironically, Israel paid for this. It was all staged by MI6 and the ever-present CIA, to procure this odd, twisted result.  

We, the Americans, are being blamed and scapegoated, and suckered to pay for this, while the real interests of Israel were sold out in the same breath by Benjamin Netanyahu's regime. 

Israel could have made a garden place in the desert and welcomed everyone to a glass of sweet tea with lemon.  They could have chosen "never again" for real -- instead of doing it to someone else.

You will notice that while Trump has violated Iran's air space and Iran's sovereign right to peaceably sail the seas, regular ground troops have not stepped foot on Iranian soil.  And probably never will. 

Why?  Because this country has not declared war on Iran.  

It's only on the High Seas and Navigable Inland Waterways and in the jurisdiction of the air that the foreign federal subcontractors have continued their "eternal war for profit" by abusing our delegated powers. 

Remember that Commander-in-Chief is a Naval Office.  Remember that on the High Seas and Navigable Inland Waterways the British Monarch is the Trustee of the U.S. Navy.  

Don't blink or you will miss the fact that the attack on Iran's shipping, so eloquently described by President Traore from Burkina Faso, in the video above, occurred on the High Seas. 

It wasn't "the Americans" doing this.  As usual.  It was the Brits, making use of their command of American vessels on the High Seas. 

You will also (Granna's crystal ball) see apologists telling you not to blame Trump for the spike in oil prices (blame Lloyd's of London for pulling the war-risk insurance from oil tankers in the Straits of Hormuz, instead). You will also hear people lauding Mr. Trump for breaking the unseen British stranglehold on the Middle East and especially on Middle Eastern shipping routes.  

Take it from Granna -- the Brits are not giving up their entrenched control of the Iranian Government, which they have held since 1908, and they are not done dancing with the Ayatollahs, either.  They are repositioning and trying to underhandedly kick the Americans out of the Middle East entirely, so that they can have the whole sandbox to themselves. 

And Trump, of course, is playing right into that result: make us, the Americans, look like the lawless Bad Guys, and then hustle us off stage.  Destroy all the outdated ground installations and radar stations that cost the American people billions of dollars, call it a war expense, and charge it off to the American people a second time.  

Victim pays again.  

This is part of their pattern, their modus operandi.  Defraud the victim, and then, get them to pay for being defrauded -- and repeat this gouging as many times as possible.  

Trump had other, additional reasons for going into Iran, that have nothing to do with psyops, oil, nuclear weapons, or threat of biological warfare.  Plus, he not only had a paying contract, Putin said he'd done enough playing Clean Up Crew in the Ukraine.

Now that the other additional, non-public goal has been secured, Iran's government (still under control of the Brits) has stated its peace terms: 

(1)  All US military out of the Mideast in 30 days; 

(2)  $500 million as payola and infrastructure repair; 

(3)  All economic sanctions against Iran lifted.

So, the Brits get "the Americans" out of the Mideast and secure big kudos from everyone for doing that, Iran gets half a billion in "war reparations" to upgrade its infrastructure which was old and crumbling anyway, and as everyone knows, the sanctions were ineffective and only served to keep western investors out of Iran. 

Who is the "winner"?  The Brits. They are perfectly positioned to play the part of the peacemaker acting from the moral high ground, when in fact they are the sleazebags behind it all.  As usual. 

They force the American people to pay $500 million to upgrade old infrastructure that benefits them.  They get the sanctions lifted so that their investors can pile in and pump Iran dry of oil and artifacts and mineral wealth, according to their colonialist economic model. 

Once you grasp the fact that the Mullahs sold out to Britain in 1908 and realize that the U.S. Navy is actually the British Navy on the High Seas and Navigable Inland Waterways, and also realize that we have rogue federal "service providers" abusing our Title IV Flag --- it all makes sense, and when you see what Britain or at least British banksters and investors hope to get out of all this, the game plan is obvious.  

The Brits are hoping to replay Laurence of Arabia again. 

America out of their sandbox, Americans taking the blame and paying the bill, America cut out of any trade or commercial benefit brought about by lifting the sanctions. 

We just got a good spanking, didn't we?  And yes, blame Donald Trump for that.   

It's true he had other urgent business to attend to, but go ahead and blame him anyway, for playing his part in this Brit-farce with a straight face and not exposing the whole shitscape for what it is. 

Like Israel, other choices have been his.

 For those who so cavalierly speak of "the peace of the grave", we all wish you godspeed and fast action on your way to your eternal rest. 

To absolutely everyone who ever in the slightest way agreed with, supported, or took action to implement genocide on this planet, please do the honorable thing and voluntarily accept suicide.  Yourself.  Right here.  Right now.  

It's sheerly hypocritical and insane to plan for others what you do not embrace for yourselves.  If you think the world is overpopulated and you sincerely believe this, feel free to leave.

International Public Notice: The Man of Lawlessness

 By Anna Von Reitz

Mr. Trump--- not "the President of the United States" --- the Commander-in-Chief of the United States of America, Incorporated, also doing business as the U.S.A., Incorporated, the United States of America, LLC, and numerous affiliated franchises, has proven to be an outlaw with an iron stomach.  

Trump is not the savior people in this country have hoped for and needed. 

Let's set up the context for the present disaster in the Middle East.  

The era of Big Oil is over.  Knowledge of free energy and the profits to be made by commercial applications of free energy have already put an end to fossil fuels, even though the pumps keep pumping. 

Those who know that Big Oil is a Dead Man Walking, are facing the inevitable downturn in oil industry profits, even as the Third World eagerly puts free energy to work.  

The Third World will be forced to champion and use free energy because the price of oil products will skyrocket and continue to be artificially buoyed up -- by actions such as the present unnecessary supply chain interruption caused by closing the Straits of Hormuz. 

As petroleum slowly diminishes into a niche in the overall energy market, the Perpetrators of this rigged system will seek to force its continued use and deny full access to free energy technology in the industrialized world. 

The so-called "war" in Iran has been demanded by a Trifecta of Big Oil seeking to drain fat profits off its oil investments, Big Defense Contractors seeking to palm off the cost of trillion dollar military systems and installations that are now obsolete and the government -- such as it is -- of Israel. 

What do you do with trillions of dollars worth of obsolete military equipment and installations that you no longer need?  Simple. You get Donald Trump to act in breach of trust and service contract.  

He uses the Title IV Flag entrusted to the United States of America, Incorporated, for its use when exercising our delegated powers, and he tells a Big Lie to the effect that his "war" in Iran was to defend our country against Iran.

Iran is guilty of having bad thoughts (apparently justified) about "the US" and is being attacked for developing means to defend itself against "the US" --- a right that every sovereign state and country has. 

By pretending that the war against Iran is a service defending our country, Trump gets to charge off the cost of this "war" to us, the same people who were bilked to pay for all the obsolete weapons systems that he is now destroying. 

Yes, Americans were bilked for the sake of Israel and Britain and Germany:  we paid for and the Brits ran their defense installations in the Mideast to protect Israeli and European investments, and now, we, the actual Americans, are being bilked to pay for the destruction of those same systems, which are now obsolete.  

Big Defense is happy. 

We paid for their system, they got paid to set it up, now they are being paid to take it down and paid a second time for their "losses". 

Big Oil is set to get top dollar for every drop of oil they extract. 

And Israel, not so happy, but they have the new Sinai West canal system to look forward to, and are turning Gaza into a casino and hotel empire.  Their new oil refinery system will have a lot less competition, too.  

This is clearly the vision of the world that Donald Trump is buying into --- just kill everyone, take their stuff or destroy it, then charge off your costs to other victims, and coat yourself in glitter like a Hollywood star. 

He even says that he and his Administration should be thanked for this, as he tries to substitute a British Territorial "republic" for the American Republic we are owed and which we are fulfilling ourselves at the present time.  

Let all governments and people be aware of the destructive role that the central banks and the corporations set up "in the name of" various countries, and especially, the British Government(s) have caused; their monopoly interests and acts of fraud must be opposed.

Third Sunday In Lent

 Rev. Fr. Leonard Goffine's

The Church's Year

The Introit of this day's Mass, which begins with the word Oculi, is the prayer of a soul imploring deliverance from the snares of the devil:

INTROIT My eyes are ever towards the Lord: for he shall pluck my feet out of the snare: look thou upon me, and have mercy on me, for I am alone and poor. To thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul: in thee, O my God, I put my trust: let me not be ashamed. (Fs. XXIV.) Glory be to the Father, etc.

COLLECT  We beseech Thee, Almighty God, regard the desires of the humble, and stretch forth the right hand of Thy majesty to be our defence. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord, etc.

EPISTLE (Ephes. V. 1-9.) Brethren, be ye followers of God, as most dear children; and walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath delivered himself for us, an oblation and a sacrifice to God, for an odor of sweetness. But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not so much as be named among you, as becometh saints; nor obscenity, nor foolish talking, nor scurrility, which is to no purpose; but rather giving of thanks: for know ye this, and understand, that no fornicator, nor unclean, nor covetous person, which is a serving of idols, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no man deceive you with vain words; for because of these things cometh the anger of God upon the children of unbelief. Be ye not therefore partakers with them. For you were heretofore darkness; but now light in the Lord. Walk, then, as children of the light: for the fruit of the light is in all goodness, and justice, and truth.

EXPLANATION The apostle requires us to imitate God, as good children imitate their father in well-doing and in well-wishing; besides he declares that all covetousness, fornication, all disgraceful talk and equivocal jokes should be banished from Christian meetings, even that such things should not be so much as mentioned among us; because these vices unfailingly deprive us of heaven. He admonishes us not to let ourselves be deceived by the seducing words of those who seek to make these vices appear small, nothing more than pardonable human weaknesses; those who speak thus are the children of darkness and of the devil, they bring down the wrath of God upon themselves, and all who assent to their words. A Christian, a child of light, that is, of faith, should regard as a sin that which faith and conscience tell him is such, and must live according to their precepts and not by false judgment of the wicked. Should any one seek to lead you away, ask yourself, my Christian soul, whether you would dare appear with such a deed before the judgment-seat of God. Listen to the voice of your conscience, and let it decide, whether that which you are expected to do is good or bad, lawful or unlawful.

ASPIRATION  Place Thy fear, O God, before my mouth, that I may utter no vain, careless, much less improper and scandalous words, which may be the occasion of sin to my neighbor. Strengthen me, that I may not be deceived by flattering words, and become faithless to Thee.

GOSPEL (Luke XI. 14.-28.) At that time, Jesus was casting out a devil, and the same was dumb. And when he had cast out the devil, the dumb spoke, and the multitudes were in admiration at it. But some of them said: He casteth out devils by Beelzebub the prince of devils. And others tempting, asked of him a sign from heaven. But he seeing their thoughts, said to them: Every kingdom divided against itself shall be brought to desolation, and house upon house shall fall. And if Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because you say, that through Beelzebub I cast out devils. Now if I cast out devils by Beelzebub, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges. But if I by the finger of God cast out devils, doubtless the kingdom of God is come upon you. When a strong man armed keepeth his court, those things which he possesseth are in peace; but if a stronger than he come upon him, and overcome him, he will take away all his armor wherein he trusted, and will distribute his spoils. He that is not with me, is against me; and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth. When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through places without water, seeking rest; and not finding, he saith, I will return into my house whence I came out: and when he is come, he findeth it swept and garnished. Then he goeth, and taketh with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and entering in they dwell there. And the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. And it came to pass, as he spoke these things, a certain woman from the crowd, lifting up her voice, said to him: Blessed is the womb that bore thee, and the paps that gave thee suck. But he said: Yea rather blessed are they who hear the word of God, and keep it.

Can a man be really possessed of a devil?

It is the doctrine of the Catholic Church that the evil spirit most perniciously influences man in a twofold manner: by enticing his soul to sin, and then influencing his body which he often entirely or partially possesses, manifesting himself by madness, convulsions, insanity, etc. Many texts of Scripture, and the writings of the Fathers speak of this possession. St. Cyprian writes: "We can expel the swarms of impure spirits, who for the ruin of the soul, enter into the bodies of men, and we can compel them to acknowledge their presence, by the force of powerful words." Possession takes place by the permission of God either for trial or as a punishment for sin committed, (I. Cor. V. 5.) and the Church from her Head, Jesus, who expelled so many devils, has received the power of casting them out as He did. (Mark XVI. 17.; Acts V. 16., VIII. 6. 7., XVI. 18. &c.) She however warns her ministers, the priests, who by their ordination have received the power to expel the evil spirits, to distinguish carefully between possession and natural sickness, that they may not be deceived, (Rit. ROM. §. 3. §. 5-10.) and the faithful should guard against looking upon every unusual, unhealthy appearance as an influence of Satan, and should give no ear to impostors, but in order not to be deceived, should turn to an experienced physician or to their pastor.

What is understood by a dumb devil?

The literal meaning of this is the evil enemy, who some times so torments those whom he possesses that they lose the power of speech; in a spiritual sense, we may understand it to mean the shame which the devil takes away from the sinner, when he commits the sin, but gives back again, as false shame, before confession, so that the sinner conceals the sin, and thereby falls deeper.

How does Christ still cast out dumb devils?

By His grace with which He inwardly enlightens the sinner, so that he becomes keenly aware that the sins which he has concealed in confession, will one day be known to the whole world, and thus encourages him to overcome his false shame. - "Be not ashamed to confess to one man," says St. Augustine, "that which you were not ashamed to do with one, perhaps, with many." Consider these words of the same saint: "Sincere confession subdues vice, conquers the evil one, shuts the door of hell, and opens the gates of paradise."

How did Christ prove, that He did not cast out devils by Beelzebub?

By showing that the kingdom of Satan could not stand, if one evil spirit were cast out by another; that they thus reproached their own sons who also cast out devils, and had not been accused of doing so by power from Beelzebub; by His own life and works which were in direct opposition to the devil, and by which the devil's works were destroyed. - There is no better defence against calumny than an innocent life, and those who are slandered, find no better consolation than the thought of Christ who, notwithstanding His sanctity and His miracles, was not secure against calumniation.

What is meant by the finger of God?

The power of God, by which Christ expelled the evil spirits, proved himself God, and the promised Redeemer.

Who is the strong man armed?

The evil one is so called, because he still retains the power and intellect of the angels, and, practiced by long experience, seeks in different ways to injure man if God permits.

How is the devil armed?

With the evil desires of men, with the perishable riches, honors, and pleasures of this world, with which he entices us to evil, deceives us, and casts us into eternal fire.

Who is the stronger one who took away the devil's armor?

Christ the Lord who came into this world that He might destroy the works and the kingdom of the devil, to expel the prince of darkness, (John XII. 31.) and to redeem us. from his power. "The devil," says St. Anthony, "is like a dragon caught by the Lord with the fishing-hook of the cross, tied with a halter like a beast of burden, chained like a fugitive slave, and his lips pierced through with a ring, so that he may not devour any of the faithful. Now he sighs, like a miserable sparrow, caught by Christ and turned to derision, and thrown under the feet of the Christians. He who flattered himself that he would possess the whole orbit of the earth, behold, he has to yield!"

Why does Christ say: He who is not with me, is against me?

These words were intended in the first place for the Pharisees who did not acknowledge Christ as the Messiah, would not fight with Him against Satan's power, but rather held the people back from reaching unity of faith and love of Christ. Like the Pharisees, all heretical teachers who, by their false doctrines, draw the faithful from communion with Christ and His Church, are similar to the devil, the father of heresy and lies. May all those, therefore, who think they can serve Christ and the world at the same time, consider that between truth and falsehood, between Christ and the world, there is no middle path; that Christ requires decision, either with Him, or against Him , either eternal happiness with Him, or without Him, everlasting misery.

Who are understood by the dry places through which the evil spirit wanders and finds no rest?

"The dry places without water," says St. Gregory, "are the hearts of the just, who by the force of penance have drained the dampness of carnal desires." In such places the evil -one indeed finds no rest, because there his malice finds no sympathy, and his wicked will no satisfaction.

Why does the evil spirit say: I will return into my house?

Because he is only contented there where he is welcomed and received: those who have purified their heart by confession, and driven Satan from it, but labor not to amend, again lose the grace of the Sacraments by sin, and thus void of virtue and grace, offer a beautiful and pleasant dwelling to the devil.

Why is it said: The last state becomes worse than the first?

Because a relapse generally draws more sins with it, and so it is said: the devil will return with seven other spirits more wicked than himself, by which may be understood the seven deadly sins, because after a relapse into sin conversion to God becomes more difficult, as a repeated return of the same sickness makes it harder to regain health; because by repetition sin easily becomes a habit and renders conversion almost impossible; because repeated relapses are followed by blindness of intellect, hardness of heart, and in the end eternal damnation.

Why did the woman lift up her voice?

This was by the inspiration of the Holy Ghost to shame the Pharisees who, blinded by pride, neither professed nor acknowledged the divinity of Christ, whilst this humble woman not only confessed Jesus as God, but praised her who carried Him, whom heaven and earth cannot contain. Consider the great dignity of the Blessed Virgin, Mother of the Son of God, and hear her praises from the holy Fathers. St. Cyril thus salutes her: "Praise to thee, Blessed Mother of God: for thou art virginity itself, the sceptre of the true faith!" and St. Chrysostom: "Hail, O Mother, the throne, the glory, the heaven of the Church!" St. Ephrem: "Hail, only hope of the Fathers, herald of the apostles, glory of the martyrs, joy of the saints, and crown of the virgins, because of thy vast glory, and inaccessible light!"

Why did Christ call those happy who hear the word of God and keep it?

Because, as has been already said, it is not enough for salvation to hear the word of God, but it must also be practiced. Because Mary, the tender Mother of Jesus, did this most perfectly, Christ terms her more happy in it, than in having conceived, borne, and nursed Him.

SUPPLICATION O Lord Jesus! true Light of the world, enlighten the eyes of my soul, that I may never be induced by the evil one to conceal a sin, through false shame, in the confessional, that on the day of general judgment my sibs may not be published to the whole world. Strengthen me, O Jesus, that I may resist the arms of the devil by a penitent life, and especially by scorning the fear of man and worldly considerations, and guard against lapsing into sin, that I may not be lost, but through Thy merits maybe delivered from, all dangers and obtain heaven

International Public Notice: About "American State Nationals"

 By Anna Von Reitz

Google AI, which is as ignorant as its owners, has put out a screed saying that "American State Nations (ASNs) are a rapidly growing group of Individuals who believe that they can correct their political status from "United States citizen" (which they believe is a corporate entity) to a "National" of a specific state (e.g. Wisconsin State National)." 

They then attempt to debunk our political status and claim of rights based on their very limited understanding of history and law, which is, of course, limited to federal statutes and federal definitions that they assume "must" apply to us, because they do apply to them. 

The term "American State National" doesn't exist in federal law, because it isn't federal.  It derives from the pre-Civil War States of the Union and our still-present States of the Union and Union States.   

The term "American State National" refers to our native political status at the state level represented by our separate state demonyms: Minnesotan, Californian, New Yorkers, and so on.  That's what we are talking about, and the fact that Federal citizens are ignorant, should not surprise us.  

Our law and customs are as foreign to them as theirs are foreign to us. 

There are four possible United States citizenships, none of which refer to the actual states or people of this country.  

This is not an opinion. It is a historical, legal, and lawful fact. 

These federal citizenship statuses are: United States citizens or United States Citizens or U.S. Citizens or citizens of the United States (Fourteenth Amendment citizens).  

These are all Federal Government citizenship statuses that apply to federal workers and their dependents in various jurisdictions.  None of these citizenship statuses naturally apply to Americans born in the states, or as we say in English, the American States.   

The core of the issue is exposed by the first United States Immigration and Naturalization Law, which describes the lengthy process Americans born in the States must undergo to become United States Citizens --- in order to work for the Federal Republic. 

Similarly, U.S. Citizens work for the British Territorial Subcontractors operating as the United States of America, Incorporated, and the  "United States citizens" status refers to Federal Civil Service employees hired by the Holy Roman Empire to provide stipulated services under The Constitution of the United States and the "citizens of the United States" refers to Fourteenth Amendment citizens who had citizenship obligations illegally and immorally conferred on them without their knowledge or consent. 

All "United States" citizenships are foreign to the American States and people and always have been.  

Obviously, an American can live their entire life without working for or being dependent upon the federal government. 

In the current federal Immigration and Naturalization Act you will find Section 101 A (21) which defines the term "national" for federal purposes as a "person having a permanent allegiance to a state" and just after that, 101 A (36) which defines "State" as a group of Insular States --- that is, United States Possessions. 

If we were to use their terms, "American State National" would refer to someone from the Territories and Possessions, not a native Californian or Wisconsinite --- which is what it means in our terms. 

According to Federal terms and usage, then, Americans who don't work for or depend upon the federal government all live in "states"  not "States", but the states we live in define "States" differently --- in our system their definition of "states" refers to the pre-Civil War States.  

These are similar sounding terms, with different meanings --- "dialectics" that obscure truth and create confusion.  

In Federal-ese then, and armed with the knowledge that the Immigration and Naturalization Act defines "nationals" as "persons having a permanent allegiance to a state" --- with a small "s", we can recognize ourselves and our birthright status as "nationals" having permanent allegiance to our states: for example, the pre-Civil War states of Wisconsin, Maine, Florida, and so on. 

Whether you speak Federal-ese and use a small "s" to indicate the sovereign pre-Civil War states or speak plain English and use a capital "S" to indicate the sovereign pre-Civil War States is a matter of conventions and does not dispute the basic truth: Americans are not naturally birth citizens of any kind. 

We are "nationals" not "citizens" in both systems.  

The word "citizen" implies an obligation to serve some form of government -- whether as an employee or as a serf, whether the government served is a monarchy, a republic, city, a municipality, or in our case, "a republican form of government" organized around the kitchen table. 

If we use the Federal conventions, we are "nationals" and have a permanent allegiance to a "state".  If we use the plain English conventions of the States of the Union, we are "Nationals" with a permanent allegiance to a "State" -- and collectively, we are American State Nationals. 

Please note that standard English, not Federal Code or Legal Jargon, is the Official Language of this country, so we are under no obligation to know or use federal language conventions at all.  The members of the various United States citizenships are compelled, instead, to understand our language and conventions. 

Artificial Intelligence which is programmed by programmers using information provided by Federal sources, only knows the Federal jargon and the Federal Code which is designed to treat any information that is different or foreign to its own database as either (1) hostile or (2) incorrect. 

So when we call ourselves "American State Nationals" and do so with a full understanding of our allegiance to our States of the Union, it isn't for any Federal citizenry to comment or allege that we are doing anything improper or ignorant or even questionable. 

The various kinds of "United States" citizenries are our employees and dependents and are "citizens" with respect to our States of the Union ---and they all owe us "good faith service".  

Any public employee at any level of government, foreign or domestic, who doesn't grasp this basic fact needs re-education, not encouragement of their basic ignorance.  Once again, we are reminded that "AI" is only as intelligent as the programmers adding information to their software.
