Fake "Pandemic" Over


By Anna Von Reitz

As my Readers already know --- there are a lot of things you can do to protect yourself and your family from any kind of bacteriological or viral illness, and also a lot of ways to protect yourself from the harmless effects of raw Electromagnetic Radiation including 5G. 

We need to do a better job of promoting basic hygiene knowledge and do a better job of keeping our own bodies and homes clean and healthy.  We need to become more informed and proactive about EM sickness and what causes it and spread the word.  Yes, all the above. 

That said, the coronavirus is being vastly misrepresented and over-hyped. 

For example, the Big News Story today is that seven people have died from it in Washington State so far.  They don't tell you that the outbreak was in a residential care facility for people who were already very elderly, sick, and infirm to begin with, did they?  The same group that would have naturally been at great risk even from the common cold or flu. 

Speaking of flu, did you know that 74 people have died of plain old flu in Washington this year?  Didn't hear a word about them, did you?

This current coronavirus scare amounts to is another False Flag and end run attempt by the known promoters of the Cabal to achieve multiple objectives at the same time, and we are fools if we let them get away with it.

We now know that the virus and the vaccine for it were both developed by one very British corporation: Quinetiq.   The Brits at the bottom of the dog pile again.

We now know that the Bill and Melissa Gates Foundation (the crackpot Microsoft chief who believes that killing people is a good idea) helped fund it. 

What more do we really need to know? 

We know who is responsible for it.  We know who to charge for every death, worldwide.  We know who to charge for every delayed shipment, every dip in the stock market, every business failure ---- all of it. 

Let's do so.  The claims should bankrupt Bill Gates, his Foundation, and any interest he has in Microsoft by the end of next week.  He should be embroiled in so many damage claims he will never know a moment of peace again in this lifetime.  And the same for the Queen.  Address all your claims to: ELIZABETH II. 

We've already told them that we are charging one trillion dollars per American who dies or is maimed by their actions.  Since money is all that these cretins appear to understand, let them feel the pain.

Maybe next time when they are sitting around on their duffs thinking up ways they can "scare the sheep and cause trouble" --- they will realize that the trouble has consequences for them, too.

If I were China, I'd spend my last dime to make sure of the pay back. 

Meanwhile, I agree with Robert David Steele:

Assembling


By Anna Von Reitz

When we first put out the call and launched the alert for all Americans to declare their birthright political status and come together in their State Assemblies, we didn't know how many would answer the call.

At first, there was so much confusion.

It was so hard to explain the situation to people who had been indoctrinated to say they were citizens of the United States ----without, however, stipulating which "United States" they were talking about.
There was so much of our own history that we no longer were taught in public schools, so many "sins by omission" committed by our Public Servants, it seemed well-nigh impossible to fill in all those blanks for so many people.

What we should have been learning in twelve years in school, and what we should have been busy addressing as a Body Politic, was studiously avoided by those who were benefiting themselves at our expense.

How to tell 320 million defrauded, disenfranchised, disillusioned, overworked, underpaid, dumbed-down Americans the truth?

How to find our way back to our beloved country?

These have been very hard issues to address and the outcomes have been uncertain.

But this past weekend, we came together once again, at an event sponsored by the Arizona Assembly, and it was wonderful. We had guests from all over the country, sharing what they had learned, excitedly greeting new friends, and standing together from sea to shining sea.

From Delaware, from California, from Louisiana, from Michigan..... all over this country, Americans came to Arizona. They came to learn the truth about all those Birth Certificates and Land Patents. 

And now, our Gideon's Army has dispersed to all corners of this great country, bearing this precious knowledge with them.

One by one, place by place, people are waking up and saying, "I'm an American...."

Soon there will be American Travel Cards and Passports to replace Driver Licenses and US Passports. Soon, there will be American money available and American mercantile banks and credit unions. Soon, nobody will have to be afraid of their own Public Employees anymore.

As more and more Americans wake up and recognize how our own employees have been misdirected and used to stage a coup against our self-governance, often without even knowing that they were acting in such a manner, things will be put right again.

The only cautionary word is that this miraculous change is one we have to make for ourselves. Nobody can or will do it for us. It's our responsibility and self-governance is admittedly hard work. It was so heartening to meet and greet the many other Americans who are stepping up to the task!

Yes, it was a very humbling experience. I don't cry easy, but there were tears of joy in the corners of my eyes, looking out at the crowd.

The Americans are coming home at last.

Joe's Hamburger Shop


By Anna Von Reitz

If you never share anything of mine but this, if you never understand anything of mine but this---- let this be "the one" that goes viral to all Americans and to all living people in every country of the globe, because the information is basically the same everywhere. 

This is a simple little tale everyone can understand, about Joe, the owner of a hamburger joint.  His story is your story.  And it's not hard to fill in the blanks.
I am going to cut out all the history and the excuses that the Popes have made, and just explain the basic "pedal to the metal".
_____________________________

I walk in with a “Federal Reserve Note”—- a promissory note, and give it to Joe in exchange for a hamburger. 

What has actually happened? 

I have given Joe a paper I. O. U. for an actual hamburger. 

So I still owe a debt and Joe is owed a credit for the exact same amount. 

The debt is being tracked by the Federal Reserve Note, but there is no formal paper tracking the credit owed to Joe, except that we know that the credit is exactly the same amount as the debt. 

The National Credit always equals the National Debt in such a system. 

It’s just bad bookkeeping that makes it appear otherwise. 

The reason for the bad bookkeeping is embezzlement. 

What the rats did was simply not to give Joe Credit for his hamburger. 

This gave the appearance of a constantly increasing “National Debt” with no answering "National Credit" in evidence.  

Meanwhile, the National Credit actually owed to all the “Joes” in America was being sequestered— “blocked”— and Joe was not allowed to access his own credit. 

This circumstance resulted —over time—in the accumulation of a giant credit Slush Fund that the banks and politicians and “military-industrial complex” used and abused for their own purposes. 

This is not the way it was supposed to work. Read Federal Title XII.

What was supposed to happen was that Joe was supposed to be able to access his credit directly via a Mutual Offset Credit Exchange Exemption, a MOCEE.

And Joe was supposed to have free access to his “Mutual Offset Credit Exchange Exemption”—- meaning that whenever “Joe” was presented with a bill addressed to “JOE” — he was supposed to be able to claim his exemption from paying it, and apply his already earned credit instead. 

So, Joe has a $5 credit owed to him because he gave me a hamburger.  He gives a lot of people hamburgers, so after a while, he is owed $1,000.00.  

Okay? That’s simple enough. Joe has earned a thousand dollars worth of credit.  It's pre-paid.  He didn't get anything for nothing. He is owed credit for all those hamburgers.

When he gets a bill for $120.00 addressed to “JOE” from the Tax Assessor or the Electric Company or for a car loan, etc., Joe is supposed to have the right to “claim his exemption” and apply his already earned credit to “offset” any such debt.

In this way, the National Credit is always supposed to Offset the National Debt. 

The “private credit” owed to Joe is always supposed to Offset the “public debt” owed by “JOE”, and it probably would stay relatively in balance if Joe were ever told about this arrangement or given any instructions how to claim his exemption and apply his earned credit, but he wasn't. 

(This is what all this talk about "private side" and "public side" is about.  Joe is owed credit on "the private side" and JOE owes debt "on the public side".)

But instead, the Vermin responsible kept mum and made up excuses to “block” Joe from having access to his credit. 

They pretended (and cobbled up falsified records to “prove”) that Joe wasn’t Joe, so that they could use his credit instead.  

Meantime, of course, bills addressed to “JOE” kept coming, and unaware that he was owed Offset Credit, “Joe” kept on paying all these bills addressed to “JOE”. 

So, not only is Joe not getting the Offset credit he is owed, he is being forced to pay all the new bills on top of it. 

Back at Scam Central, the rats are in charge of the gigantic Credit Fund owed to Joe (and all the other Joes in America) and they are busily investing it “for” Joe, who they pretend is “missing”.  

Using Joe’s earned credit, they buy up everything in sight.  They buy majority interest in the Fortune 500.  They buy up foreign currencies and create the “Exchange Stabilization Fund” so that they can mess with the value of every other country’s money by manipulating the supply of that country’s currency.  They do all sorts of crap in Joe’s name and they bilk Joe to do it. 

THAT is what has gone on here, in a nutshell. 

Having discovered all the lies and excuses being used by these criminals to deny Joe his identity and abuse his credit, we have exposed their racket and are demanding remedy for Joe.

We are demanding access to his credit for him, and we are demanding that the rats provide simple, straight forward means for Joe to claim his exemptions and apply his credit to Offset any debts owed by “JOE” on a continuing basis. 

A remedy is not a remedy if access to remedy is obstructed or denied or made inaccessible or deliberately obscured—- and that is exactly what has happened here. 

Joe was never told he had Offset Credit available to pay bills addressed to “JOE” and he was never given any instructions or means to access his exemptions. 

Even the people collecting all these bills addressed to “JOE” were kept ignorant of Joe’s exemption and continued to harass Joe for payment. Even the IRS Agents and electric companies and others issuing bills to “JOE” continued to presume that Joe owed those bills and refused to apply the Offset Credit Joe had already earned. 

And now, all that has to come to a stop and all those banks and corporations and government agencies have to come to heel and do what they should have done ever since 1934. 

They are going to give Joe access to his exemption to offset any bill, including Tax Bills, from now on.  

And they are going to make it easy for him to access his Offset credit Exemption. 

And if they don’t they will be recognized and prosecuted as international criminals engaged in identity theft, unlawful conversion, credit fraud, racketeering, and numerous other crimes against Joe. 

Has this explanation of the circumstance finally hit home? Does everyone understand that Joe has literally been paying bills that Joe had the right to Offset?  Mortgages, college loans, car payments, utility bills....

The smug bankers and politicians and bureaucrats have been denying Joe (and you) access to pre-paid credit that has already been earned by you and your parents and your grandparents and your great-grandparents, ever since the so-called Civil War.   

All this credit you are owed is pre-paid credit, just like when you buy a pre-paid credit or gift card at Walmart. 

Only in this case, the rats didn’t give you a card or other means to access what you and Joe already paid for. 

So here’s the message from Joe concerning “JOE”——

It’s payback time.

Pope Frances, IMF, Federal Reserve, BIS, World Bank, Vatican Bank, Queen Elizabeth II, Mr. Trump—- you owe Joe for a hamburger and a whole lot more.

We expect the “US Trustees” and the “US Treasury” and the “IRS” to cough up those offset credits with no further delays or excuses. 

This "discussion" has been ongoing since 1998.  The Principal most responsible is Pope Frances.  This is because the bogus mercenary "war" that has been ongoing between the British Territorial United States Government and the Municipal United States Government is a total sham, and both sides are actually owned, operated, and controlled by him.

This is because Queen Elizabeth II is the Pope's Overseer of the Commonwealth, and the British Territorial United States is a Commonwealth.

As a result, the British Territorial United States is indirectly, through the Queen, controlled by the Pope. 

And the Municipal United States Government is directly controlled by the Pope because it is chartered under him. 

So no matter how you want to cut this, all roads lead to Rome.  We have been disgracefully mistreated, deceived, cheated, gulled and cullied by the Pope and his Officers, and the Queen and her Officers (albeit, under the command of the Pope), at the same time that they have been: (1) under our National Trust Indenture to provide "good faith service" to us and to our States; (2) under commercial contract to provide this good faith service; (3) taking their paychecks from our pockets. 

Both the Queen and the Pope are complicit and responsible for this deplorable mistreatment of rank and file Americans, who were never parties to any mercenary commercial "wars" that they have illegally and in Breach of Trust staged on our shores. 

You, Joe, and all other Americans who have been the victims of this scam need to declare your correct birthright political status as American state nationals and, if you are willing to serve, as American State Citizens.  You need to put this squarely on the Public Record for all to see.  You need to join your State Assembly and join with others to enforce the Constitutional Guarantees you are owed and to claim the pre-paid credit you are owed.

Go to: www.annavonreitz.com for more insight into this whole situation, and to www.TheAmericanStatesAssembly.net  to connect to your State Assembly.
_______________________

And now, just a closing note: who else but our Team has ever explained any of this to you? Who else but our Team has organized the lawful correction? Who else has claimed and fought for the pre-paid credit to be made available to you?  Who? Where? 

I'll tell you the truth--- nobody else has taken up the work to hold the Pope and the Queen accountable to dear old Joe.  Mr. Trump couldn't --- he's an employee of the British Territorial Government and the Municipal United States Government.  He can't tell his bosses what to do. 

And at the beginning of this process, neither could you, because you had been deliberately and wrongly mis-identified both as a British Territorial U.S. Citizen and as a Municipal "citizen of the United States" --- anything and everything but what you are: an American state national or American State Citizen owed your pre-paid credit.

Our Team has pioneered the method and means to rebut these false claims and enabled you to reclaim your birthright --- and all the Offset Credit -- that is owed to you.  Who else came to your rescue, except us, literally---- your Fellow Americans?  Nobody, that's who.

The rats in Washington, DC, were either happy to see you screwed for their benefit, or claiming that, as U.S. Citizens, their hands were tied. 

Our hands are untied and we are holding fast to the contractual obligations of both the Pope and the Queen ---and keeping the door open for you to come home. 

When we ask for your support, for your time and whatever you can send as donations, we have already earned our keep---- just like Joe.  We've come to work, unpaid, every day since 1998.  And so have many others, who have joined our Team since then.  Lives and fortunes have been sacrificed and vast amounts of time and professional skill have been donated to bring us this far.

So donate what you can.  Give thanks to God above that we were here.  And join us.  Come to the aid of your country as we have.  A lot of people talk about defending America from all comers, both foreign and domestic.  A lot of people talk about their rights.  A lot of people fail to walk the walk. 

Send prayers and donations to: Anna Maria Riezinger, c/o Box 520994, Big Lake, Alaska 99652, or PayPal to avannavon@gmail.com to promote the work that is ongoing all over this country.

Dear Mr. Trump, March First 2020


By Anna Von Reitz

You are advised that the Trusteeship of the Philippine Government will terminate and be removed from said "independent government for the Philippines" established in 1934, at midnight, March 3, 2020, unless certain conditions are met.

The Government of the Philippines is under demand to make correction of the following circumstance within three days of publication, or forfeit all trust assets back to the Donors, including the actual Julius Divinagracia. Rent on the Philippine Islands and the cost of defending the Philippine Islands during World War II and since then, will become due and payable on March 4, 2020, unless this matter is successfully concluded in our favor.

Julius Divinagracia entered the United States as a Permanent Resident and changed his name to protect his identity more than twenty years ago. He adopted the State where he lives as his permanent home and domicile and has followed all the protocols his adopted State and The United States of America require to take this action, which stands published upon the Public Record

Julius Divinagracia is under the protection of our government and has adopted a State of the Union as his permanent home and domicile.

He is not under any obligation of United States political asylum or citizenship.

He is neither a Territorial nor a Municipal citizen of any kind.

An Imposter from the Philippines has assumed his identity and has attempted to pass himself off as Julius Diviniagracia, resulting in this nonsense:

This is Public Notice worldwide, that this is a fraudulent and criminal action having no basis in reality, and it will not be honored by The United States of America as anything valid.

Many hundreds of people worldwide have cause to know the truth.

We have the records and the proof and we are not pleased with this dishonest attempt to (again) substitute a "ringer" just as the same Parties substituted their criminal commercial corporations and infringed upon our trademarks to promote confusion between "The United States of America, Incorporated" and our government --- The United States of America.

Any attempt to pass this fraud artist off as Julius Divinagracia is destined for failure and any action taken to acquiesce to this substitution will come to ruin. We denounce this as a complete and utter fraud owing immediate correction:

We call upon you as Commander-in-Chief to bring forward the lawful, legal, and correct claims of Julius Divinagracia without allowing any further obfuscation, fraud, criminal interference, or obstruction. The funding for your government and many other governments depends upon this chicanery being addressed and corrected.

No justice can result from further fraud and injustice. This pattern of behavior must be overcome.

As of this afternoon, Julius Divinagracia has removed the Rothschilds and the United States from their trusteeships, with prejudice, together with rejecting any role for the US Trustees and repudiating any presumption of bankruptcy or abandonment of his assets. All treaties and papers and agreements signed by this Filipino Interloper are denounced as open fraud.

The independent government of the Philippines has three days to get their man out of Shanghai and come to Jesus. You, Mr. Trump, and the Pacific Fleet are being requested and required to act in our behalf.

Whoever has promoted this substitution of a Third Party claiming to be Julius Divinagracia in order to displace an American State National and to dispose of his assets under conditions of fraud and deceit is an international criminal---and any such persons are to be identified, bound over, and charged.

No funds from the Alpha Omega or Spiritual White Boy Accounts or any other Legacy Accounts can be accessed or released without consultation with and approval from both our government and the actual man, Julius Divinagracia, who stands upon our shores and who is owed all right, title, and interest in his private property and heir-ship, and who is the only one on Earth empowered to make treaties and disbursements in his name.

It is your sworn duty and the duty of every member of the American Armed Forces including all those under contract to the U.S. Military, to uphold and protect the persons of all Americans per Article IV of The Constitution of the United States of America.

Julius Divinagracia is an American, and his Good Name and Identity has been stolen, subjected to International theft, abuse, and false contracting processes.

We believe that your duty in this matter is clear and that the Government of the Philippines has been, at the very least, derelict in its responsibilities as Trustees of American assets. They have been given three days to get this Mess straightened out. The clock is ticking.

Will the Real Julius Divinagracias Please Stand Up?


By Anna Von Reitz

I have been told that a Philippine Native has claimed to be Julius Divinagracias and that he claims that he has the right and power to open the Alpha and Omega Accounts. 

I say that the actual Julius Divinagracia is here, under the protection of the actual government of this county, The United States of America, and that we have all the proof including the records and he, of course, has his signature and emblems, and unique DNA as a living man from a specific known family. 

The Filipino in Shanghai is a fake.  The actual Julius Divinagracia is, as you can probably tell from the name, of a completely different ethnic extraction. 

He has been prevented by the corrupt and evil corporations that are supposed to be here providing us with "good faith service" from leaving this country and from presenting his information and from enforcing his claims.  They have done this with malice afterthought and with self-interest, in order to substitute an Interloper for him, just as they have substituted their decoys repeatedly, even substituting corporations named after The United States of America for the actual government of this country. 

That must come to a screeching halt and be recognized as the falsehood and fraud that it is.  

The actual Julius Divinagracias has, as of this afternoon, removed the Trustees for Incompetence and Breach of Trust. 

The Rothschild bankers and "US" Government are thus informed of their removal, in public and via email.  Notice to Principals is Notice to Agents; Notice to Agents is Notice to Principals. 

The Philippine Government is also placed on Notice regarding their Trustee appointment.  If this Mess is not cleaned up immediately and the fake "Julius" recalled from Shanghai, the Trusteeship granted to them in 1934, will be removed from them at midnight, March 3, 2020 GMT. 

Let the news be heard and broadcast worldwide  

Mr. Trump is being sent Notice of these facts as is the Pope.

One Person Dies, the World Stops?


By Anna Von Reitz

Oh, boy, one person is said to die of "Coronavirus" in Washington State, so the Governor declares a 'state of emergency" --- an indication that he is weak-minded and incompetent---- with the result that public panic is brewing in Washington State this afternoon.  

70,000 people die from influenza (the flu) in a bad flu year.  Strangely, what makes a "bad flu year"?   

Answer: coronal mass ejections, CME's, sun flares, sunspots--- the same solar radiation events that disrupt communications and interfere with the normal flow of plasma in our solar system.  And yes, there is a DIRECT correlation between "bad flu years" and CME's.  

This has been known and studied since at least 1918, with the conclusive statistical proof being established by 2002.  

But what if you could create this effect by man-made means?  Simply by increasing and varying local Electromagnetic (EM) exposure, using cell towers and radio and microwave transmitters, etc.?   Enter 5G.....and billions of cell phone receivers pulsing away silently in everyone's pocket? 

I am with Robert David Steele.  The situation in Wuhan is another kind of False Flag, one in which the Crisis Actors actually die, and the Government of China gets paid for their services post mortem.  And it is the result of both a weaponized (but low grade) British "Bug" being released on purpose and in tandem with the rollout of 5G in China.

EM Radiation sickness has exactly the same symptoms as flu.  The more intense the EM Radiation, the more intense the symptoms.  These "broad spectrum" weaponized energy grid systems were initially designed for crowd control, but as usual, things got out of hand.  Defense contractors got involved. The out of control CIA got involved.   MI6 got involved.  The Queen's Booty Boys, Quinetiq got involved. 

So, we've got this mess, thanks to Evil in High Places.  

And now, we find out that WHO, the World Health Organization, has owned the Domain Name, Coronavirus.com since 2002.  We find that Bill and Melinda Gates helped pay for the creation of this germ and are responsible for its existence.  We find that the Queen's Bullies not only own the patent but also own the vaccine so that they think they are safe from their own self-made calamity--- and prepared to dole out the solution to the problem they created, for a price, of course.

If you want to protect yourselves from the "corona" virus, limit your exposure to electromagnetic radiation. Eat clean healthy food. Drink clean water. Get rest. Occupy your minds with happy thoughts and productive tasks.  Stay home and clean the house, work on the family photo album.  Don't panic, and don't fear. 

You have a much greater chance of dying from EM exposure or the common flu than you have of dying of any coronavirus---weaponized to be super-infectious or not.

Corporate Records Show....


By Anna Von Reitz

For many years now our Team has been pointing to the evils of corporations --- and not simply specific corporations, but corporations in general.
Corporations invite lack of individual accountability and protect wrong-doers by providing bankruptcy protection and limiting liability. The counter-argument is that some development activities (mainly associated with war and mayhem) are too dangerous in terms of liability for investors to undertake without such protections.
Being of a practical mind, we ask, what social benefit does war provide to anyone? Only the criminally insane think of war as a benefit. So why should society bear the costs of war-mongers?
If they blow up St. Louis or poison the sea --like Fukashima-- or create and unleash a deadly virus "by mistake" --- should they be pardoned and moddle-coddled?
We dare raise our hands and say, "No."
Accountability is a necessary part of a sane society. Lack of accountability leads to criminality and lack of moral compass. If everything is allowed, nothing is sacred. Nothing is safe. Nothing is secure. Not your lives, not your children, and not your future.
So, having debunked the one reason consistently offered for the existence and proliferation of corporations --- encouraging stockholders to invest in things they probably shouldn't invest in and which they should be held responsible for investing in if they do --- why should corporations exist at all?
The Roman Catholic Church, which supports the Roman Curia, holds the patents and keys to all the corporations on Earth because they dreamed up the concept of corporations --- S-corps, C-corps, B-corps, non-profits, trusts, foundations, cooperatives, LLC's, LP's, PLC's, and so on --- all defined and concocted by the Roman Curia.
And the Roman Curia remains responsible, as the creator of all these THINGS, for policing them. The Pope is granted the unique power to liquidate any corporation that functions in an "unlawful manner", but he has apparently forgotten that there is a difference between "lawful" and "legal" and he and his Predecessors for the past century and a half, have let their unnatural Frankenstein monsters run rampant over life and decency on Earth.
With no discipline being imposed and no danger of consequences held over their heads, the corporations have simply proliferated like bunny rabbits in the springtime until otherwise normal people think that they have to have a trust and an extra LLC in their back pockets at all times.
That is, everyone is drinking the Kool-Aid that is killing them, and then the survivors are standing around asking, "What happened? Who is responsible?" And all they have in response to those questions is a Post Office Box in Surrey and the name of a couple of men who can't be located.
The Big Answer to the Malady is to start where the problem starts -- with the Roman Curia and the Pope -- and their actual and palpable responsibility for the existence of these THINGS. The Small Answer is to hold them all accountable via other means when the Pope fails to do his job: anti-trust and anti-monopoly legislation on steroids, followed by Draconian enforcement.
The only way that either of these answers can be applied is via a tidal wave of public awareness and political demand. Believe me, the Pope is not going to take action against his BFF's without a struggle and the Congress and the State Legislatures which have long been the Pawns of corporate self-interest won't know who to pander to, if the self-interest lobbies of Big Business disappear.
We could start there, with outlawing lobbyist organizations, but then, there would be nothing left of what poses for a government in Washington, DC. After all, both the Republican and the Democratic "Parties" are nothing but big political lobbyist groups, no different really than the Tobacco Lobby or the Big Pharma Lobby.
When the Pigs are in charge of the Trough, you know that you are in for a fall, but that is, nonetheless, what we've been stupidly allowing for the past 150 years.
So now, we are faced with the necessity of replacing the foreign lobbyist-run "government" with the actual government owed to the people of this country, but that means waking up 300 million Americans and prodding at least some of them to self-govern, a prospect as foreign to most of them as turtle soup.
So, it's either being eaten alive by immoral, unaccountable, "legal fictions" --- or it's getting on our hind legs and demanding accountability from those who are supposed to be acting in the Public Interest and riding herd on these THINGS, or it's taking action ourselves.
Of the three options, one is not survivable, so let's cross that off the list. Two is difficult to obtain, much less guarantee, because it is so very much more comfortable for the guards to remain asleep and the political hunting dogs to remain curled up by the corporate fire. And three isn't exactly popular because it requires thought and work, albeit, at least taking our own action puts us in charge of our own salvation--- no longer begging the Pope and the members of Congress to do their duties.
With those thoughts in mind, I am going to recommend that you all watch the following video which explains the extent of the lawlessness and self-interest that the British Crown and the Queen have exercised, and which ties the British Government --- once again, to the bottom of the Corona virus scandal.
Why? Because it turns out that this virus is a British Bug, and the result of a peculiarly British fascination with germ warfare. We are invited to ask -- "What happens when a British Bug gets turned loose in China?" --- besides killing thousands, if not millions, of innocent Chinese people and wrecking the global economy?
Am I alone in thinking that enough is enough and that the other governments of the world, including our own, need to wake up to the simple fact that I discovered years ago? That the Brits are reliably, consistently, always at the bottom of every dog pile?

Words of Encouragement from St. Athanasius

... to the early Christians of the 4th century who refused to accept the Arian heresy, Christians who had lost their Church buildings to the heretics, but Christians who kept the faith. In the 21st century, we are in a quite similar situation. 
St. Athanasius was a Doctor of the Church. He lived from 296 to 373 A.D.


St. Athanasius, 296 - 373 A.D.“May God console you! ... What saddens you ... is the fact that others have occupied the Churches by violence, while during this time you are on the outside. It is a fact that they have the premises -- but you have the apostolic faith. They can occupy our churches, but they are outside the true faith. You remain outside the places of worship, but the faith dwells within you. Let us consider: what is more important, the place or the faith? The true faith, obviously. Who has lost and who has won in this struggle -- the one who keeps the premises or the one who keeps the faith?
“True, the premises are good when the apostolic faith is preached there; they are holy if everything takes place there in a holy way ...
“You are the ones who are happy; you who remain within the Church by your faith, who hold firmly to the foundations of the faith which has come down to you from apostolic tradition, and if an execrable jealously has tried to shake it in a number of occasions, it has not succeeded. They are the ones who have broken away from it in the present crisis.
“No one, ever, will prevail against your faith, beloved brothers, and we believe that God will give us our Churches back some day.
“Thus, the more violently they try to occupy the places of worship, the more they separate themselves from the Church. They claim that they represent the Church but in reality they are the ones who are expelling themselves from it and going astray.
“Even if Catholics faithful to tradition are reduced to a handful, they are the ones who are the true Church of Jesus Christ. (Coll. Selecta SS. Eccl. Patrum. Caillu and Guillou, Vol. 32, pp 411-412).”


First Sunday in Lent

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

INVOCABIT

This Sunday is called Invocabit, because the Introit of the Mass begins with this word, which is taken from the ninetieth psalm, wherein we are urged to confidence in God, who willingly hears the prayer of the penitent:
INTROIT He shall call upon me, and I will hear him; I will deliver him, and glorify him; I will fill him with length of days. (Ps. XC. 15-16.) He that dwelleth in the aid of the Most high shall abide under the protection of the God of heaven. (Ps. XC. 1.) Glory be to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
COLLECT O God who dost purify Thy Church by the yearly fast of Lent; grant to Thy household that what we strive to obtain from Thee by abstinence, by good works we may secure. Through our Lord Jesus Christ Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee, in the Unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end, Amen.
EPISTLE (II. Cor. VI. 1-10) Brethren, we exhort you that you receive not the grace of God in vain. For he saith: In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in the day of salvation have I helped thee. Behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now, is the day of salvation. Giving no offence to any man, that our ministry be not blamed: but in all things let us exhibit ourselves as the ministers of God; in much patience, in tribulations, in necessities, in distresses, in stripes, in prisons, in seditions, in labors, in watchings, in fastings, in chastity, in knowledge, in long-suffering, in sweetness, in the Holy Ghost, in charity unfeigned, in the word of truth, in the power of God, by the armor of justice on the right hand, and on the left, by honor and dishonor, by evil report, and good report; as deceivers, and yet true; as unknown, and yet known; as dying, and behold we live; as chastised, and not killed; as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as needy, yet enriching many; as having nothing, and possessing all things.
EXPLANATION The Church very appropriately reads on this day this epistle of St. Paul, in which he exhorts the Christians to make use of the time of grace. A special time of grace is Lent, in which everything invites to conversion and penance, a time, therefore, in which God is ready to make rich bestowal of His graces. St. Anselm says, those do not use the grace who do not cooperate. Let us, therefore, follow St. Paul's exhortation, and earnestly practice those virtues he places before us, and especially those of temperance, patience, chastity, liberality, love of God and of our neighbor. Let us arm ourselves with the arms of justice at the right and the left, that is, let us strive to be humble in prosperity and in adversity, confident of God's help. Let us never be led from the path of virtue, by mockery, contempt, nor by persecution, torments, or death.
ASPIRATION Grant, O Jesus, that we may always faithfully cooperate with Thy graces, and employ well the time Thou hast again given for our salvation.
GOSPEL (Matt. IV. 1-11.) At that time, Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert, to be tempted by the devil. And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he was hungry. And the tempter coming, said to him: If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. Who answered and said: It is written: Not in bread alone doth man live, but in every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God. Then the devil took him up into the holy city, and set him upon the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him: If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down; for it is written: He hath given his angels charge over thee, and in their hands shall they bear thee up, lest perhaps thou dash thy foot against a stone. Jesus said to him: It is written again: Thou shaft not tempt the Lord thy 'God. Again the devil took him up into a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; and said to him: All these will I give thee, if, falling down, thou wilt adore me. Then Jesus said to him: Begone, Satan, for it is written, The Lord thy God shalt thou adore, and him only shalt thou serve. Then the devil left him; and behold, angels came, and ministered to him.
INSTRUCTION
I. Christ went into the desert by the inspiration of the Holy Ghost to prepare by fasting and prayer, for His mission, and to endure the temptations of Satan, that, as St. Paul says, He might be one tempted in all things such as we are, without sin, and so become for us a High-priest who knew how to have compassion on our infirmities, (Heb. IV. 15.) and to show us by His own example, how we should, armed with the word of God, as with a sword, overcome the tempter. (Eph. VI. 17.) – Let us, therefore, courageously follow Christ to the combat against all temptations, with His assistance it will not be hard to conquer them. He has certainly taught us to overcome the hardest ones: the lust of the eyes, of the flesh, and the pride of life, and if we overcome these, it will be easy to conquer the rest.
II. If Christ, the only Son of God, permitted Himself to be tempted by Satan, even to be taken up on a high mountain, and to the pinnacle of the temple, it should not appear strange to us, that we are assailed by many temptations, or that we should find in the lives of so many saints that the evil spirit tormented them by various images of terror and vexation. This we find in the history of the pious Job, where we also find at the same time, that the evil spirit cannot harm a hair of our head without God's permission.
III. From the coming of the angels to minister to Christ, after He had conquered Satan, we see that all who bravely resist temptations, will enjoy the assistance and consolations of the heavenly spirits.

INSTRUCTION ON TEMPTATION
To be tempted by the devil. , (Matt. IV. I.)
What is a temptation?
A  temptation is either a trial for instruction and exercise in virtue, or a deception and incitement to sin. In the first sense, God tempts man; in the second, he is tempted by the devil, the world or bad people, and the flesh, by evil thoughts, feelings, words, or work.
By what are we principally tempted?
By our own evil concupiscence and inclination to sin which adhere to us through original sin, (Fam. I. 14.) on account of which it is said, that the flesh lusteth against the spirit. (Gal. V. 17.)
Does the devil also tempt us?
He does, and is therefore called, in this day's gospel, the tempter. St. Peter teaches us this, having himself experienced it: Be sober and watch: because your adversary the devil, as a roaring-lion, goeth about, seeking whom he may devour. (I Peter V. 8.) Not all temptations are to be ascribed to the devil, however, they often come from our own corrupt nature, our own incautiousness, or looseness of our senses, by which we expose ourselves to the danger of falling into sin.
How does the devil tempt us to sin?
In a twofold manner: He incites the concupiscence of man to those sins to which he sees him inclined, and then seeks to blind and confuse his imagination, so that he neither reflects, nor properly sees the temporal injury, disgrace, and derision, nor the shamefulness of sin and its eternal punishment. Thus the devil seduced Eve, our first mother, and thus he tempted Christ, with whom he could not, of course, succeed, for He was incapable of sin. He tempts bad people to persecute us, or to try us by their wicked vanities, as he did by the friends of Job.
Can the devil force us to evil?
He cannot; “for as a chained dog,” says St. Augustine, "can bite none but those who go near him, so the devil cannot harm with his temptations those who do not consent to them. Like the dog he can bark at you, but cannot bite you against your will.” Not by force but by persuasion Satan strives to injure, he does not force our consent, but entreats it. Seek, therefore, to subdue your passions and your senses, especially your eyes, and you will either remain free from all temptations, or easily overcome them.
Does God also tempt us?
God does indeed tempt us, but not to sin, as St. James expressly teaches. (Fam. I. 13.) God either Himself proves us by sufferings and adversities, or He permits the temptations of the devil or evil-minded people to give us opportunity to practice the virtues of love, patience, obedience, etc. Thus He said to the Jews through Moses: The Lord your God trieth you, that it may appear whether you love him with all your heart, and with all your soul, or no. (Deut. XIII. 3.)
Does God permit us to be tempted by man also?
He does, and for the same reasons. Thus He permitted the chaste Joseph to be tempted by Putiphar's wife; (Gen.XXXIX. 7.) Job by his wife and his friends. (Job II. 9.) But He never permits us to be tempted beyond our strength, but gives us always sufficient grace to overcome and even to derive benefit from the temptation. (I Cor. X. 13.)
Are temptations pernicious and bad?
No; they are useful and necessary, rather. “Hard is the fight,” St. Bernard writes, “but meritorious, for although it is accompanied by suffering, it is followed by the crown;”
(Apoc. III. 12.) and Origen says. (Libr. Num.) “As meat becomes corrupt without salt, so does the soul without temptations.” Temptations, then, are only injurious when consent is given, and we suffer ourselves to be overcome by them.
When do we consent to temptations?
When we knowingly and willingly decide to do the evil to which we are tempted; as long as we resist we commit no sin.
What are the best means of overcoming temptations?
Humility; for thus answered St. Anthony, when he saw the whole earth covered with snares, and was asked "Who will escape?" "The humble;" he who knows his own frailty, distrusts himself, and relies only on God who resists the proud and gives His grace to the humble; (Dam. IV. 6.) the fervent invocation of the Mother of God, of our holy guardian angels and patron saints; the pronouncing of the holy name of Jesus, making the sign of the cross, sprinkling holy water; the remembrance of the presence of God who knows our most secret thoughts, and before whom we are indeed ashamed to think or do that which would cause us shame in the presence of an honorable person; frequent meditation on death, hell, and eternal joys; fleeing from all those persons by whom, and places in which we are generally tempted; fervent prayers, especially ejaculations, as:
"Lord, save me, lest I perish! Lord, hasten to help me!" finally, the sincere acknowledgment of our temptations at the tribunal of penance, which is a remedy especially recommended by pious spiritual teachers.
PRAYER O Lord Jesus! who spent forty days in the desert without food or drink, and didst permit Thy self to be tempted by the evil spirit, give me, I beseech Thee by that holy fast, the grace to combat, during this holy season of Lent, under Thy protection, against intemperance, and to resist the suggestions of Satan that I may win the crown of eternal life. Amen.
