"Federal Reserve" Factoids

 By Anna Von Reitz

It has been said, and quite rightly, that the Federal Reserve is as "Federal" as Federal Express. 

The name has fooled generations of people into thinking that the Federal Reserve is part of the Federal Government, when it is not part of the Federal Government and never has been. 

The Federal Reserve is and has always been a consortium of mostly foreign banks that loan credit to the Municipal Corporations housed in the District of Columbia, based on assets that these Municipal Corporations and their franchises own or control at any given time. 

The Federal Reserve launched its operations during The War of Independence to loan credit to both sides and functioned as a European Cheering Section intent on war-profiteering no matter how the conflict was resolved.  

French banks operated by the Payseurs even made loans to the incipient American Government on behalf of George III, who was never one to miss out on an investment opportunity. 

Once the war was over, the Federal Reserve settled down to collect war reparations and recoup foreign loans plus interest--- and it has operated more or less in the same capacity ever since, even though its members have changed and fluctuated over the years, with most of the big, especially private, European Banks being represented at one time or another.  

The debts owed to the Europeans were paid off during the Andrew Jackson Administration, which created no end of consternation, because the Federal Reserve had lost its reason for being. 

It was this sorry turn of events that caused the erstwhile central bank members of the Federal Reserve to engage in a concerted effort to redefine the debtors: having lost their grip on The United States of America, Unincorporated, they turned their attention to the British Territorial United States Government operating as "the" United States of America, Incorporated, and hit pay dirt. 

The British Territorial Corporations, Crown Corporations, were and are always hungry for investment capital, and they cared less if that investment was made in gold coins or maritime commercial credit.  So the Federal Reserve found a new lease on life, loaning credit to our British Territorial Federal Subcontractors. 

Due to the extremely similar names, it wasn't hard to confuse debts owed by "the" United States of America, Incorporated, or debts owed by "The United States of America, Incorporated" for debts owed by The United States of America, Unincorporated, especially as some of the debts of the Subcontractors were legitimate obligations of our American Government. 

Over time, it was extremely profitable for the banks and other Principals involved to wheedle and excuse little indiscretions, charging off expenses that clearly were not part of our agreements with our Subcontractors to us and holding our assets as collateral securing the debts of our spendthrift Federal Subcontractors. 

They all had great fun with this.  They charged everything to us and our accounts --- the Civil War, the Mexican American War, the untold War in the Philippines, the First World War, the Second World War, all of the hundreds of unnamed "conflicts" in between, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Libya --- all of it. 

To put it bluntly, the Federal Subcontractors reorganized as Municipal Corporations by the 1870s, colluded with the banks to charge whatever they wanted to charge off against our country and our assets, because they thought that we were "gone", in "interregnum", "lost at sea" and would never return and object to it. 

Now that we have "returned" and have objected, it makes the consternation of the 1840s look like a cake walk, because now, instead of us owing the world to them, they owe the world to us. 

Oh, %@$%!

They have tried to do a lot of fancy shuffling around and false asset assignments and insurance claims and all sorts of other dodges to avoid the inevitable, but at the same time, they shot themselves (and everyone else) in the foot with a grossly illegal, unlawful, and immoral depopulation plan. 

Now the entire world is facing an inevitable Population Collapse brought to us by the crooked banks, the idiot politicians, and their military accomplices. 

The Federal Reserve members and the International Monetary Fund members and the World Bank members, are all scrambling around and no doubt hoping that they can avoid detection --again-- and escape behind a smokescreen of worldwide economic collapse, which they have caused. 

If I were an oddsmaker, I wouldn't give them good odds on that.  

And if I were them, I wouldn't count on being able to hide anything away in the Philippines, or Jakarta, or Taiwan, or the salt caves of Nevada.  All that surveillance equipment they bought to keep an eye on innocent civilians has been brought to bear on different targets. 

In 2009 -- partially as a result of the 2007-2008 Lehman Brothers meltdown (which by the way also involved the United States Department of Agriculture and the Small Business Administration) the Federal Reserve System, a trademarked business model venture, was bankrupted. 

JPMORGAN and Chase Bank inherited the trade names: THE FEDERAL RESERVE and THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF GOVERNORS, as part of the bankruptcy liquidation, so they have been happily confusing everyone ever since.  

Some people have even been walking around, shaking their heads, and complaining that they are in some kind of movie, The Night of the Living Dead Banks, because they can't figure out how a bankrupt bank can suddenly appear to resurrect itself and continue on as if Chapter 7 never happened. 

These same poor souls can't figure out how Wells Fargo converted from a bank into an investment bank, either.  And most of them are still wondering what happened to Wall Street?  Where did it go? 

They stare at me when I tell them that it moved offshore to Telaviv, magically, overnight, yes, Wall Street moved to Telaviv, and Telaviv, of course, is located in the State of Israel, just like the State of Alabama. 

Lordy.  What a tangled web they have been weaving in the District of Columbia.  

No American, and certainly, no American Fiduciary in their right mind, would agree to any of this "interpretation" of reality.  

We are all quite sure that Israel is not an American State of the Union, and that calling it "the State of Israel" is not going to make us responsible for any war debts resulting from a Mideast war triggered by the end of the so-called Balfour Protectorate. 

If they want to save Israel, the Perps need to talk to us and the rest of the world, especially the countries of the Middle East, and see after all the acrimony the Perps have financed on both sides (hey, they created Hammas!) --- if some kind of sane and humane and fair solution can be worked out by the common people who live there.  

The Federal Reserve, meanwhile, needs to keep its nose clean, and its investment banks at heel. The World Bank and IMF, too, and all the members of the so-called SWIFT Cooperative. 

Cooperatives are just another form of corporation, too.

International Public Notice Concerning The Preferential Priority Creditors

 By Anna Von Reitz

To Whom It May Concern: 

The United States (Unincorporated) and The United States of America (Unincorporated) are the National and International Governments of this country, respectively, supported by the living people and Lawful Persons thereof continuously since 1776. 

Our member States of the Union are instrumentalities of the sovereign principals referred to as "the free, sovereign, and independent states" of the United States in the Treaty of Paris (1783) and other Treaties resolving The War of Independence.  

Our States are Unincorporated by definition and are not eligible for bankruptcy protection; they enjoy indemnity on the land and immunity on the soil and cannot be misconstrued as incorporated interests of any kind, now or at any time in the past.

Our States are complete, not inchoate, and are physically defined.

Our States are populated by Lawful Persons and living people, who obtain their nationality from their States and do not owe any feudal allegiances or citizenship obligations.  

Our States conduct commercial business from their land jurisdiction, unless the subject matter is clearly and mutually agreed to be under valid contract in maritime jurisdiction. 

Our States do not agree to any assumption of maritime contracts that are not validated and demonstrated to be conscionable, fully disclosed, consensual, non-coerced, and placed into evidence. 

Our States retain the first level of Federalism created by our American Government under The Unanimous Declaration of Independence and subsequent agreements, in which our unincorporated County Governments and Unincorporated State Governments respectively hold the soil and land jurisdictions of this country, with the States holding General Jurisdiction over the land, sea, and air jurisdictions associated with them.  

Our seat of government is and remains in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which we have retained continuously as Post Masters of the General Post Office, and we have retained our General Delivery Address in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, since the Founding of our Government. 

Witness our Signatures on the Postal Treaty of the Americas 2010, our published correspondence with Queen Elizabeth II, and our understanding of the fact that Washington, DC, is a separate Federal Capitol for the convenience of our foreign Subcontractors. 

We are and we represent the Preferential Priority Creditors of all the Municipal Corporations and Municipal Corporation franchises housed in the District of Columbia. 

All Public and private Trustees of the associated Public and private trusts created by the Municipal Corporations residing in the District of Columbia or offshore in United States Possessions and Territories are hereby served Public International Notice of our Preferential Priority Creditor status with regard to all Municipal Corporations housed in the District of Columbia or otherwise created as franchises thereof in the States of the Union or Offshore in Territorial jurisdictions. 

As we are owed and retain our Preferential Creditor status from 1860 to today, and as our prior debts were paid off as of 1840, we claim exemption from any legal presumption of indebtedness on the part of our States or ourselves related to the dissolution, bankruptcy, reorganization, mergers, assignments, or successor agreements of foreign Municipal Corporations housed in the District of Columbia, their Franchises, Successors, or Assigns. 

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

Our current business address is shown below:

It Wasn't Fiction -- Ayn Rand

 By Anna Von Reitz

When Ayn Rand wrote Atlas Shrugged, she was cleverly disguising a news report.  

The circumstance that she described via the means of a fictional story was all-too real and she was in position to observe it happening. 

Just as the first wave of our mutual misfortune started with "Honest" Abe Lincoln, a man "so crooked he couldn't pee straight" and Queen Victoria's madness, the second wave started with Franklin Delano Roosevelt. 

It was the second wave of infamy that Rand recorded for us-- the growth of ignorant and thuggish federal Agencies, the takeover of entire industries by abuse of regulatory powers, the manipulation of the stock market, the so-called "public interest" acquisitions of shares in Fortune 500 Companies, the idiocy of the politicians in charge of all this. 

What it amounts to is that FDR stole what was left of our gold, used it and income from taxes to hire thugs to protect himself and his cronies, assumed (by unauthorized Executive Orders) new powers for himself, and reinvested in the Fortune 500 so as to acquire public shareholder interests in major economic sectors--- oil, steel, railroads, mining--- the very industries described in Atlas Shrugged, took the first hit in preparation for WWII. 

In the new Communist world, public interests were private interests, and vice versa.  They did this under the guise of supporting the economy and "underwriting" American industry and later, the excuse for investing public money in private enterprises changed to being a benefit for our troops returning home from WWII. 

The Wartime Government which was already positioned in all the major industries that benefited from the war used the profit to buy up more majority shareholder interests in secondary industries: chemicals, agribusiness, pharmaceuticals, consumer products, and state banks all fell in line. 

These massive portfolios of government-acquired stocks and bonds were supposed to belong to individual servicemen coming home from WWII, but they were never told about this largesse, and things were legally manipulated so that the Vermin responsible could claim that our service members "never came home" ---and keep control themselves. 

This was done by the same unlawful and undisclosed conversion of their individual political status to that of Federal Dual Citizens which I have described elsewhere. Not only did these men not know that they were the heirs of all this wealth, they didn't know that their status as Americans had been changed to that of Federal Dual Citizens, and they didn't know they were acting as mercenaries, either. 

The undisclosed and unlawful conversion of our service member's political status denied them access to the Constitutional Guarantees they fought for, and also neatly denied them any interest in the stock portfolios the government corporations purportedly acquired for their benefit.

By the early 1960's the Municipal Corporations housed in the District of Columbia were by far the largest stockholders on Wall Street, and they had acquired majority shareholder interest in all the Fortune 500 Companies.  

This is the world that Jack Kennedy lived in, and you may be sure that he knew what was going on.  He and his brother, Robert, took many steps to rein in the boiling corruption that this unholy marriage of government, and what still appeared to be private interests, created. 

With the Government Service Providers --- foreign Municipal Corporations in the business of providing governmental services --- firmly in control of the stock market and all major economic sectors, it was a no-brainer to take over currency markets as well. 

The multinational perpetrators of this scheme simply used the wealth provided by tax income, personation crimes, stock market manipulation, commodity rigging, and the illegal securitization of living flesh to buy up stockpiles of world currencies.  

They bought up enough yen, rubles, pounds sterling, kroner, and so on, to control the currency supply of all the countries on Earth and tucked it away in the sanctimoniously named Economic Stabilization Fund under the control of the US President (IMF) and Secretary of the Treasury (Global Federal Reserve). 

If the Powers That Be didn't like your politics or the price you wanted to charge for your beans, they simply manipulated the market supply of your national currency to devalue it via inflation, or restricted its supply to create poverty.

Just as Thomas Jefferson said, "either by inflation or deflation...." they attacked national economies and bullied everyone to sell natural resources and manufactured goods at prices favorable to them, to elect leaders favorable to them, to adopt economic, political, and defense policies favorable to them. 

They also invested heavily in the muscle to "defend" this ill-gotten hegemony, and manipulated the clueless masses of people in this country with False Flag Events that were staged by Hollywood production companies. 

Usually the actual losses involved in these False Flag Events, like the Titanic and the World Trade Center, were calculated to benefit political cronies who were seeking to cash in on insurance policies and avoid otherwise catastrophic expenses --- like adding bulkheads and adequate lifeboats to the Titanic, or doing asbestos remediation on the World Trade Center. 

Even Pearl Harbor was couched in terms of providing an excuse to renovate and replace the old, tired Pacific Fleet.  There's a reason that the new whiz-bang Carrier Fleet was sent out to sea, leaving the old battleships at anchor, like so many beached whales awaiting slaughter. 

Ever wonder how we got all the magnificent film footage of Pearl Harbor as it was happening?  Or the World Trade Center disaster, either?  Hollywood Film crews were on site, and the cameras were rolling. It was staged. It was an inside job.  Both times. 

The American Military Forces were converted illegally and immorally--- and very quietly--- into Mercenary Forces in the wake of the Civil War.  

This was accomplished via an unlawful conversion promoted by Abraham Lincoln, who was "President" of a British Territorial Corporation doing business as "the" United States of America, Incorporated, and not the actual intended President owed to this country at all. 

This conversion of our honorable military into a mercenary force was permanently cemented into place by U.S. Grant, a man who adopted this moniker, but whose real name was Hiram Grant.  

Go figure. 

The foreign Municipal Corporations headquartered in the District of Columbia, both the British Crown variety and the Roman Municipal brethren, invested heavily in their Mercenary Services Division, known as "the DOD" and eventually leveraged their way into holding the Defense Contracts for the former Commonwealth, most of Western Europe, this country, and Japan ---- and Israel.  

As the Americans were clueless and wealthy, the Perps sweetened the pot by offering to pay over 95% of all the "defense services" costs for other countries, in exchange for preferential trade status and land to build and maintain over 950 military bases worldwide. 

This is how we, Americans, wound up paying 96% of the defense costs of Western Europe, and similar bar tabs for the Commonwealth and other far-flung "territories" taken over by the British Territorial Raj masquerading as Americans. 

When Britain was faced with worldwide disapproval of its thuggish colonial practices, it converted its Commonwealth "colonies" into "territories", and created an even more oppressive military government for them all, instead. 

These British Territorial military governments were of exactly the same kind and species as the British Raj in India, and all run by British Crown Corporations using the model provided by Cecil Rhodes and his British South Africa Company.   

So instead of Nazis, we've had the American Raj, the Japanese Raj, the British Raj, the French Raj, the Israeli Raj, etc., instead, but as you can readily see now, the people of all these countries have been kept clueless and dumbed down and their media and news organizations have been violently suppressed. 

The Americans didn't know they were being used as cheap mercenaries by the Brits.  It was only the High Ups, people like George Herbert Walker Bush, and Henry Kissinger, and General Colin Powell -- all knighted by the Queen, who knew the truth.  

None of this crap was ever told to our young people "enlisting" in what they thought was an honorable military service.  For one thing, if they had known, they wouldn't have sold themselves as mercenaries so cheaply. They certainly wouldn't have meekly signed unpaid "volunteer" service contracts with the so-called Selective Service.  

Don't blame the Americans.  Don't hate the Americans for all the harm done in their names. We didn't know what was going on, and for the most part, neither did anyone else, because it was all being done under a "cloak of secrecy". 

Blame the criminal masterminds in White Hall, and "Westminster" -- the Inner City of London, and in Rome and Washington, DC and NYC--- and remember that the District of Columbia isn't even part of our country.  

Blame the British Government, which has never been content with the role and status that Nature's God gave it --- a little pile of green rocks in the North Atlantic. 

And observe with me, that they could have retired and lived in peace and plenty within their own borders and attending to the needs of their own people at any time, simply by living on the ill-gotten largesse that they and their agents have stolen from the rest of us already.  

There's really no need for all the war-mongering and super spy crap and deceit and finagling and insurance fraud and oppression of other people around the globe.  Apparently, the Brits just do this for fun and to keep everyone's attention centered on the dramas they create rather than focusing on the puppet masters behind the stage. 

If everyone focused on the actual cause of the problem --- ill-gotten wealth and control obtained by criminal means and misrepresentations --- by the British Crown and its affiliates, which means the all the major corporations now trading on the rigged stock market run out of Telaviv, e.g., "the WEF", we could bring an end to this Imperial British-Roman rampage and consign it where it belongs in the dustbin of history. 

Finally, let me observe, that the politicians we hold responsible for this circumstance, are pawns. Most of them are too stupid to pass a 1965 High School Graduation Exam. Even the highly groomed figureheads like King Charles III, are impeccably dull and dim. 

Don't hate the Americans and don't hate Charles. He doesn't have a glim in Hades; he has been brought up like a prize racehorse, used like one, too -- and his people have suffered as much or more than the rest of us from the rampages of the British Raj.

What I Know -- For Sure

 By Anna Von Reitz

I know that "the US" was a Municipal Corporation that had no contract with this country to provide us with a monetary system or actual currency. 

The same is true of "the USA" which was a Municipal Corporation that likewise had (and has) no contract with this country to provide us with a monetary system or currency.  

I know that both these corporations have acted in fraud since at least the 1840s.  

I know that both these corporations, their franchises, and their Principals, owe us an insurmountable debt and that we recognize no Successors to Contract; so there can be no further presumptions against our Government nor our people.

I know that "the QFS" was developed at Fort Wright-Patterson AFB right next door to Dayton, Ohio, under a CIA Project named "Crimson Gate". 

This project was named "Crimson Gate" because it was developed by the CIA in collusion with the Red Chinese with the intent of selling off control of the United States Dollar and the Federal Reserve Note, etc.,  in exchange for padding the CIA pension fund, otherwise known as the China Development Fund.  

I know that the CIA is a privately owned foreign corporation that has acted in treason against this country ever since the Kennedy Administration, and it is only one of several Agencies owned and operated by yet another Municipal Corporation headquartered in the District of Columbia calling itself The United States Government, Inc.   

This private foreign entity also owns and operates the FBI, the DOJ, the DOD, the BLM and numerous other Bad Actors in the Federal Pantheon. 

I know the XLM so-called "digital Central Bank currency" is another fraud.  

I know that Central Banks were created to rig commodity markets and that they are intrinsically illegal and unlawful, because commodity rigging is illegal and unlawful in the modern world.  Uh-Duh. 

I know that the members of a foreign British Territorial Congress lacking any authority to do so, allowed themselves the privilege of contracting with and colluding with a Central Bank System and allowed it to operate in this country after the Civil War and that the grasp and reach of this same Central Bank System was extended in 1913 and finally bankrupted in 2009: that is, The Federal Reserve System. 

I know that the Federal Reserve (apart from the Federal Reserve System) and the International Monetary Fund are owned by two separate groups of foreign interests, one founded in the wake of the Civil War (Federal Reserve) and one founded by ex-patriots that owned primary shareholder positions in Standard Oil (International Monetary Fund). 

I know that the Federal Reserve and IMF have colluded to cheat their Creditors for decades.  

I know that one, the Federal Reserve, gives remedy that it is required by law and contract to give, and the other, the IMF, then comes in and uses any excuse it can, to deny access to the remedy provided by the Federal Reserve using the SWIFT transfer system to block any actual transfer of assets or funds. 

Not coincidentally, the SWIFT System does to bank transfers exactly what Standard Oil did to oil transfers --- a crime for which Standard Oil was convicted and liquidated--- and for which SWIFT and its operators should be convicted. 

I know the only difference is the commodity that was subjected to monopoly inducement and manipulative control --- oil in one case, currency in the other.  

I know that if the courts and the other banks and the lawyers and the politicians were worth their salt, none of this would be happening.  So I count them all equally corrupt for not joining together and bringing these atrocities to an end. 

I know that the net result of the Federal Reserve-International Monetary Fund détente is that the Creditors are denied any satisfaction and the two bank systems split the take.  

I know that this is criminal as hell and amounts to a form of financial theft and tyranny that is tacitly backed by the U.S. Military and DOD. And, of course, the CIA. 

I know that there are two factions in the CIA, one predominated by Americans and one predominated by Fabian-style Communists who back the whole idea of a Chinese World Hegemony as long as they get their share. 

I know that the only American banking system is now launching and that the only people in the world having the right and responsibility to access and use American assets are now present and accounted for.

I know that the actual government of this country has never been and cannot be vested in any incorporated entity at all.  

I know that we, average Americans, are the long-lost Foreign Sovereigns, and I know that Sovereign Citizen is an oxymoron. 

I know that unless certain members of the military and what "represents itself" as public government in this country jerk awake, there will shortly be a big Hollywood-style propaganda and brainwashing campaign, seeking to convince the people of this country that "their" military ---- which hasn't been their military in 160 years --- finally came through and saved them from a fate worse than death.  

I know that's all nothing but a big bunch of hooey, too. 

I know that the DOD set up a coercive racketeering scheme to act as a colonial mercenary force engaged by corporate masters like BlackRock, Bayer, and I.G. Farben,  to pillage the natural resources of Africa and once again survive by thievery and pre-determined --- that is, rigged, currency speculation "legalized" by JPMorgan-Chase, the (relatively) new owners of the old bankrupt Federal Reserve System. 

I know that there are at least twenty (20) vicious illegal, immoral, unlawful wars for profit going on in the world right now. 

And I know that the feckless, useless, gagged, and grossly unprofessional "news" media in this country is sorta-kinda-reporting on only two of these conflicts.

La-Dee-Dah. 

I know that I heartily wish I didn't know even a tiny percentage of what I know --- for sure.

Twenty-Fourth Sunday After Pentecost

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

On this Sunday mention is made of the practice of Christian virtues, and of God's sufferance of the wicked upon earth, that by them the just may be exercised in patience.

INTROIT Adore God, all ye His angels: Sion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Juda rejoiced. The Lord hath reigned; let the earth rejoice; let the many islands be glad. (Ps. XCVI. 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 Keep, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy household by Thy continual mercy; that as it leans only upon the hope of Thy heavenly grace, so it may ever be defended by Thy protection. 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 (Col. III. 12-17.) Brethren, put ye on, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, the bowels of mercy, benignity, humility, modesty, patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if any have a complaint against another; even as the Lord hath forgiven you, so you also. But above all these things, have charity, which is the bond of perfection: and let the peace of Christ rejoice in your hearts, wherein also you are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you abundantly, in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another, in psalms, hymns, and spiritual canticles, singing in grace in your hearts to God. All whatsoever you do in word or in work, all things, do ye in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks to God and the Father through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Why does St. Paul call charity the bond of perfection?

Because charity comprises in itself and links all the virtues in which perfection consists. For whoever truly loves God and his neighbor, is also good, merciful, humble, modest, patiently bears the weakness of his neighbor, willingly forgives offences, in a word, practices all virtues for the sake of charity.

When does the peace of God rejoice in our hearts?

When we have learned to conquer our evil inclinations, passions, and desires, and have placed order and quiet in our hearts instead. This peace then, like a queen, keeps all the wishes of the soul in harmony, and causes us to enjoy constant peace with our neighbor, and thus serve Christ in concord, as the members of one body serve the head. The best means of preserving this peace are earnest attention to the word of God, mutual imparting of pious exhortations and admonitions, and by singing hymns, psalms, and spiritual canticles.

Why should we do all in the name of Jesus?

Because only then can our works have real worth in the sight of God, and be pleasing to Him, when they are performed for love of Jesus, in His honor, in accordance with His spirit and will. Therefore the apostle admonishes us to do all things, eat, drink, sleep, work &c. in the name of Jesus, and so honor God, the Heavenly Father, and show our gratitude to Him. Oh, how grieved will they be on their death-bed who have neglected to offer God their daily work by a good intention, then they will see, when too late, how deficient they are in meritorious deeds. On the contrary they will rejoice whose consciences testify, that in all their actions they had in view only the will and the honor of God! Would that this might be taken to heart especially by those who have to earn their bread with difficulty and in distress, that they might always unite their hardships and trials with the sufferings and merits of Jesus, offering them to the Heavenly Father, and thus imitating Christ who had no other motive than the will and the glory of His Heavenly Father.

ASPIRATION O God of love, of patience, and of mercy, turn our hearts to the sincere love of our neighbor, and grant, that whatever we do in thoughts, words and actions, we may do in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and through Him render thanks to Thee.

ON CHURCH SINGING

"Admonish one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual canticles, singing in grade in your hearts to God." (Col. III. 16.)

The custom of singing in the Church-choir* has its foundation as far back as the Old Testament, when by the arrangement of David, Solomon, and Ezechias, the psalms and other sacred canticles were sung by the priests and Levites. This custom the Catholic Church has retained, according to the precepts of the apostles, (I. Cor. XIV. 26; Eph. V. 19.) and the example of Jesus who, after they had eaten the Pasch, intoned a hymn of praise with His apostles, Matt XXVI. 30) that Christians on earth, like the angels and saints in heaven, (Apoc. V. 8. 9., XIV. 3.) who unceasingly sing His praises, might at certain hours of the day, at least, give praise and thanks to God. In the earliest ages of the Church, the Christians sang hymns of praise and thanksgiving during the holy Sacrifice and other devotional services, often continuing them throughout the whole night; in which case the choir-singers probably were bound to keep the singing in proper order and agreement. In the course of time this custom of all the faithful present singing together ceased in many churches, and became confined to the choir, which was accompanied later by instruments in accordance with the words of David who calls to the praise of the Lord with trumpets, with timbrels, with pleasant psaltery and harps. (Ps, CL. 3, 4., LXXX. 3. 4.) In many churches, where the faithful still sing in concert, if done with pure hearts and true devotion, it is as St. Basil says, “a heavenly occupation, a spiritual burnt offering; it enlightens the spirit, raises it towards heaven, leads man to communion with God, makes the soul rejoice, ends idle talk, puts away laughter, reminds us of the judgment, reconciles enemies. Where the singing of songs resounds' from the contrite heart there God with the angels is present."

*The choir is usually a gallery in the Church in which the singers are stationed; the place where the clergy sing or recite their office, is also called the choir.

GOSPEL (Matt. XIII. 24-30,) At that time, Jesus spoke this parable to the multitudes: The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man that sowed good seed in his field. But while men were asleep, his enemy came, and oversowed cockle among the wheat, and went his way. And when the blade was sprung up, and had brought forth fruit, then appeared also the cockle. And the servants of the good man of the house coming, said to him: Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? whence, then, hath it cockle? And he said to them: An enemy bath done this. And the servants said to him: Wilt thou that we go and gather it up? And he said: No, lest perhaps, gathering up the cockle, you root up the wheat also together with it. Suffer both to grow until the harvest; and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers: Gather up first the cockle, and bind it into bundles to burn, but the wheat gather ye into my barn.

What is understood by the kingdom of heaven ?

The Church of God, or the collection of all orthodox Christians on earth, destined for heaven.

What is meant by the good seed, and by the cockle?

The good seed, as Christ Himself says, (Matt. XIII. 38.) signifies the children of the kingdom, that is, the true Christians, the living members of the Church, who being converted by the word of God sown into their hearts become children of God, and bring forth the fruit of good works. The cockle means the children of iniquity, of the devil, that is, those who do evil; also every wrong, false doctrine which leads men to evil.

Who sows the good seed, and by the cockle?

The good seed is sown by Jesus, the Son of Man not only directly, but through His apostles, and the priests, their successors; the evil seed is sown by the devil, or by wicked men whom he uses as his tools.

Who are the men who were asleep?

Those superiors in the Church; those bishops and pastors who take no care of their flock, and do not warn them against seduction, when the devil comes and by wicked men sows the cockle of erroneous doctrine and of crime; and those men who are careless and neglect to hear the word of God and the sacrifice of the Mass, who neglect to pray, and do not receive the Sacraments. In the souls of such the devil sows the seeds of bad thoughts, evil imaginations and desires, from which spring, later, the cockle of pride, impurity, anger, envy, avarice, etc.

Why does not God allow the cockle, that is, the wicked people, to be rooted out and destroyed?

Because of His patience and long suffering towards the sinner to whom He gives time for repentance, and because of His love for the just from whom He would not, by weeding out the unjust, take away the occasion of practicing virtue and gathering up merits for themselves; for because of the unjust, the just have numerous opportunities to exercise patience, humility, etc.

When is the time of the harvest?

The day of the last judgment when the reapers, that is, the angels, will go out and separate the wicked from the just, and throw the wicked into the fiery furnace; while the just will be taken into everlasting joy. (Matt. XIII. 29.)

PRAYER O faithful Jesus, Thou great lover of our souls, who hast sown the good seed of Thy Divine Word in our hearts, grant that it may be productive, and bear in us fruit for eternal life; protect us from our evil enemy, that he may not sow his erroneous and false doctrine in our hearts, and corrupt the good; preserve us from the sleep of sin, and sloth that we may remain always vigilant and armed against the temptations of the world, the flesh, and the devil, overcome them manfully, and die a happy death. Amen.

ON INCLINATION TO EVIL

Whence then hath it cockle? (Matt. XIII. 27.)

Whence comes the inclination to evil in man?

It is the sad consequence of original sin, that is, of that sin which our first parents, by their disobedience, committed in paradise, and which we as their descendants have inherited. This inclination to evil remains even in those who have been baptized, although original sin with its guilt and eternal punishment is taken away in baptism, but it is no sin so long as man does not voluntarily yield. (Cat. Rom. Part. II. 2. .43.)

Why, the sin being removed, does the inclination remain?

To humble us that we may know our frailty and misery, and have recourse to God, our best and most powerful Father, as did St. Paul, when he was much annoyed by the devil of the flesh; (II. Cor. XII. 7. 8.) that the glory of God and the power of Christ should be manifested in us, which except for our weakness could not be; that we might have occasion to fight and to conquer. A soldier cannot battle without opposition, nor win victory and the crown without a contest. Nor can we win the heavenly crown, if no occasion is given us, by temptations, for fight and for victory. "That which tries the combatant," says St. Bernard, "crowns the conqueror." Finally, the inclination remains, that we may learn to endure, in all meekness, the faults and infirmities of others and to watch ourselves, lest we fall into the same temptations.

The Population Collapse

 By Anna Von Reitz

China's leadership was beguiled and bribed into accepting fear of overpopulation as the basis for an incredibly stupid "One Child" mandate. 

As Chinese couples could have only one child, they wanted a boy.  This led to genocide of Chinese girl babies and toddlers.  This left the Chinese with millions of parents traumatized by the loss of their daughters, men without wives, and no way to improve their situation. 

This is all the more horrific, as China's greatest asset has always been its labor force. They literally undermined their own greatest asset. 

Too late, they have realized their mistake. 

China is facing a devastating population collapse just like the western world is already suffering. 

Those responsible for this are trying to cover it up by forced immigration campaigns, and pushing refugees from other countries into the stricken labor forces of the countries worst impacted by these disastrous policies. 

This is why Norwegians are trying to live next door to Algerians and Afghanis. 

This is why half of London is now populated by immigrants from the former Commonwealth. 

This is why China Joe has invited millions of refugees and immigrants to The United States. 

This is all the result of failed corporate policies and idiot leadership. 

The population collapse in Western Europe, North America, and China, is leading inexorably to a collapse of the housing market and collapsing real estate values and bank closures and it won't be long until the currencies and stock markets fail, too. 

This is no secret, folks, and the Covid fiasco has made it infinitely worse. They have secretly sterilized a third of the world's population and made worldwide economic collapse inevitable.  

A roomful of pampered weak-minded ninnies got together in Davos and swallowed the idea that the world is overpopulated, and now, thanks to them, it is dangerously depopulated instead. 

These immoral buffoons also thought they could make themselves richer by killing off their Creditors, but failed to realize that their Creditors are also their Customers. 

We are the value that gives value to everything else. 

And they didn't know that. 

All these problems have taken root in Think Tanks in Switzerland, unfortunately populated by people who can't reason their way out of a box.  

This is why there is wild talk about blowing Switzerland off the map, annihilating Zug, vaporizing Geneva, turning Bern into glass, while the clueless Swiss people still pull on their leather pants and yodel to their goats. 

They don't know what's going on or why everyone is so mad at them. They don't realize that their country has been used as Crime Central by international bankers and corporate moguls. 

Just like the Americans continue to whistle Yankee Doodle and think that they are free and don't know that their sons and daughters have been used as ill-paid mercenaries for the last sixteen decades, the people of many nations have been deceived and deluded.  

It is staggering how much we've all been lied to, and how consistently we have been deceived by simple carnival tricks and broadcast propaganda. 

Please observe-- there are still Village Idiots talking about overpopulation and human-caused global warming, mostly on PBS. 

Meanwhile, there are an estimated sixteen million abandoned homes sitting vacant in The United States and miles upon miles of abandoned storefronts and empty strip malls. 

There are even corporate-sponsored programs to make the empty shops look like they are occupied, to keep people from catching on. 

The situation in China is even worse, if that's any comfort to anyone. 

The fact remains that a small number of men who were never competent to manage a business, much less globe-spanning corporations, were placed in power by religious and political factions regardless of their own incompetence. 

They have tragically, stupidly --- and irrevocably, depopulated our planet and caused an inexorable collapse of our world economy. It has already started and it can't be stopped.  

All we can do is outlaw the political parties and expose the religious quacks, arrest the criminals responsible, clean the nests of vermin out of Switzerland, NYC, Tel Aviv, and also the Corporate Board Rooms worldwide -- and do our best to cope with this. 

If there is any silver lining, it is that we are now forced to cherish our children, because they will be few and far between in years to come, thanks to low IQ criminals like Joe Biden and Klaus Schwab. 

We are also forced to cherish our elderly and invest in their longevity.  We will need them to keep working and contributing like never before.
