In August of 2014 I was visiting with a local friend over coffee, and he handed me a printed article authored by a lady from Big Lake Alaska by the name of Anna Von Reitz. Actually her name is quite a bit longer than that, and is at the bottom of this post.
When I read the article, I very quickly realized that even though I have a long history of political activity and study, beginning in 1967, trying to find out what is wrong with America, and why so many of our freedoms have disappeared over the last few decades, I was never able to put all of the pieces of that puzzle together. Some of my friends were able to put certain other pieces in place, but none of us could fully assemble the puzzle so we could see the whole picture.
It was like buying a picture puzzle from a box store, but there was no picture on the outside of the box to go by. Not a clue of what the end result was supposed to be. No one person, at least that I knew of, was ever able to fully assemble the complete puzzle of FRAUD that has been used to steal the freedoms, prosperity, and heritage of the "free, sovereign, and independent people of the united States of America" as the treaty of Paris put it in 1783. That was the treaty that supposedly ended the American Revolution for our independence.
All of a sudden I had the whole puzzle, fully assembled and easy to see, including some solutions.
Since I make most of my living on the internet, it is my natural inclination when I find something like this, to go start searching far and wide for more information to fill in the blanks. What I found was astounding.
Anna Von Reitz was writing many articles, but writing on other people's blogs. I was blown away that I could NOT find a website anywhere with all of her writings in one place where they could be searched for keywords on the various topics.
Her writing is like nothing I have ever read before. Each sentence is unique and contains almost a whole new train of thought. I am sure when you read the article below and follow the links at the bottom of this post, that you will agree.
I came to the conclusion, that she must have a near photographic memory to be able to do what she does.
Over the years I had a sense that most of this was not our fault. I just had a feeling that we had been the victims of some kind of vicious deceit that the average working guy just would never be able to get their head around, let alone be able to do anything about. I had tried it all. I tried educational activity from the time I was 17, acting as a volunteer coordinator for the John Birch Society working with my uncle, Leo B. Landsberger, who was the paid staff coordinator for North Dakota. We set up chapters of that organization by the dozens all over the state. Then we tried political activity, as in Republican Party politics. I am sure you can relate to how quickly we learned that didn't work either, and even though we had a ticket of candidates in 1968 of over 130 people called the Taxpayers Republican Ticket, all of whom were members of the JBS, the news media, even back then, was so controlled and poisonous, that we didn't get many elected. One thing we did accomplish however, was that when it came time for the people in that state to vote on a new constitution, unlike in Montana, THEY TURNED IT DOWN by almost 3 to 1. Even today, if you get enough signatures on a petition you can call a standing Grand Jury in North Dakota. Not in Montana. There is a clause in the Montana document that restricts calling a Grand Jury to the whim of a State district court judge. We are finding out that even that is a fraud.
In any case, the document I was handed was Anna's letter to Archbishop George of Chicago, I think you will see the value, and what convinced me to buy the domain name www.annavonreitz.com and start searching and finding, and cataloging all of Anna's articles. At this point we have a searchable database of over 700 articles (now 5000), letters, documents and powerful legal filings that will definitely get your undivided attention, and give you answers and solutions to many questions, like they did for me. This information will plug in the missing pieces to the puzzle project and the light will shine brightly at the end of the long dark tunnel.
See the important legal document at the end of this overview. It will set your hair on fire as you realize that you have been ROBBED of all your productivity, prosperity, and property all of your lives as slaves and cattle to be plundered under the color of "law"!

Here is the original article I was handed:
On Jul 18, 2014, at 1:51 PM, Archbishop George wrote:
“I stand with the universal Catholic Church, founded by Christ. All the people whom you accuse of defrauding American citizens were elected by American citizens. That doesn’t mean that what they do is morally right, but the responsibility, finally, rests with the electorate.
God bless you.
Francis Cardinal George, O.M.I.
Archbishop of Chicago”
________________________________________________
THE FOLLOWING RESPONSE is from Anna Von Reitz:
“My Dear Archbishop George,
I, too, stand with the universal Catholic Church, founded by Christ. My blood seal stands upon the record of the Vatican Chancery Court in Witness of what I am going to show you tonight. I am from a family that has served the Catholic Church since the First Holy Roman Empire, Hereditary Grand Marshals of the Holy Roman Empire, Knights of the Holy Sepulcher. I have myself served as an International Services Agent and as a private attorney in service to his Holiness Pope Benedict XVI and now, Pope Francis.
You must believe that I am in deadly earnest both about the seriousness of the criminality engulfing America and the danger this poses to the Church and to the Rule of Law.
The Canon Law of the Church stands above every other form of law, and the Roman Curia above all other courts.
Even the Uniform Commercial Code which was developed by the Curia as a just means to resolve the many international disputes and claims arising from the 1930 bankruptcies of the G-5 nations is copyrighted by Unidroit, a subsidiary of the Vatican.
The organization which failed and which plunged America into this desperate criminality was originally chartered by the Church as a religious non-profit corporation.
We, Sir, are up to our ears in culpability for the circumstance herein discussed, and both the Pope Emeritus and Pope Francis have duly considered all the issues and acting in their temporal capacities, have rendered judgment as international Trustees of The United States Trust (1789) recognizing the Breach of Trust and the criminality which has been practiced against the American States and the American State Citizens.
They have both taken strong action to begin addressing the circumstance.
Pope Benedict XVI acted to create a new office in the Postal Service, establishing a regional Postmaster for North America.
Pope Francis has issued his First Apostolic Letter, the Motu Proprio of July 11, 2013, rewriting the international criminal code as part of his continuing effort to address this situation, and has more recently addressed the United Nations and collapsed the worldwide derivatives market.
This is not about any “responsibility” of the electorate.
It is about the Church’s responsibility to support the Pope in his role as the Ultimate Trustee of the Global Estate, to uphold the Rule of Law, and to make correction for a grave Breach of Trust that continued for 165 years and which has cost millions of innocent lives.
We can only confess our sins, dear Cardinal, admitting as mere mortals our desperate need for grace and rising up each day to do what we can and must.
I direct your attention to the Treaty of Paris which ended the American Revolution and the corollary Treaty of Versailles.
There are three international Trustees named as caretakers of The United States Trust (1789).
They are the Pope, in His Temporal Office, the British Monarch, and The United States Postmaster (Civil).
Now I direct your attention to the Treaty of Westminster (1794) in which the City State of Westminster and the Crown Temple pledge “amity” in “perpetuity” with the newly formed United States.
Next, I direct your attention to the Treaty of Verona (1845) in which the then-Pope and the British Monarch, both Trustees of the American national trust, agreed that the representative form of government was incompatible with Divine Right of Kings and with Papal Supremacy, and so both acted in secretive Breach of Trust.
The British Monarch issued Letters of Marque and Reprisal to the members of the Bar Association (British Crown Commercial Company) which issued licenses to privateers to attack American “vessels” in international jurisdictions of the law. That, Sir, is the genesis of Bar Association Licenses.
A “license” as you must know, is permission to engage in an act which would otherwise be illegal.
The Americans responded by quickly passing an Amendment to their Constitution effectively barring attorneys from holding public office. In 1860, Abraham Lincoln, a Bar attorney, was elected President of the United States (Commercial Company) but could not lawfully act as the President of The United States of America (Major).
This is why representatives of eleven Southern States refused to be seated and left the Congress adjourned sine die.
In 1863, Lincoln was forced to bankrupt the original Trust Management Company doing business as The United States.
After years of bankruptcy reorganization known euphemistically as “reconstruction” a new Trust Management Organization was incorporated by the Church, doing business as the United States of America, Inc.
This entity operated under Church auspices from the end of the Reconstruction to 1912, when the Trust Management Organization was purchased by a consortium of banks doing business as the Federal Reserve.
By 1913 they had pushed through the “Federal Reserve Act” and via legal tender laws began a purposeful agenda to devalue the American Dollar and bankrupt the original corporation doing business as the United States of America, Inc.
In May of 1930, the G-5 nations declared international bankruptcy via joint treaty entered into at the Geneva Conventions.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the representative of the Federal Reserve dba United States of America, Inc.
Three years later, having been elected President, he declared domestic bankruptcy as well.
One of his first acts was to illegally confiscate privately held American gold, which was never repaid.
As the United States of America, Inc. was being prepared for bankruptcy, agents throughout the Congress and the individual states of the Union rushed through a process of “registering franchises”.
They created “states of states” merely named after the actual geographically defined American states. They also created foreign situs trusts named after each and every living American.
At the March 6, 1933, Conference of Governors meeting, the Governors — merely corporate officers of franchises of the bankrupt United States of America, Inc. — pledged the “good faith and credit” of “their States and the citizenry thereof” to stand as sureties for the debts of the United States of America, Inc. during its bankruptcy reorganization.
Imagine that Burger King International went bankrupt in the UK and it called all the local franchise owners together and they all agreed to name their customers as sureties for their corporate debts.
That is what happened in America in 1933. The victims weren’t told a word about this.
The perpetrators were rewarded by the bankers with access to virtually unlimited credit “hypothecated” against the assets of the American States and the private property of the American State Citizens.
All this credit cost the bankers nothing material, as they had inculcated a fiat money system. Issuing credit — “money of account” — cost them nothing but the time to enter digits in an account ledger.
In exchange for this favor to the politicians, they were rewarded with legal tender laws allowing this “system” to exist in America, and given surreptitious title to all real property assets in America, and provided with protection for their activities by the members of the Bar Associations.
In 1944, FDR quit claimed all the juicy service contracts and the assets used to service these governmental service contracts to the IMF.
The IMF took over from the Federal Reserve, gaining control of every logo, name, title, department, and agency of the “United States of America, Inc.” — what Americans believe to be their government — right down to the flag.
They charted a new Trust Management Organization in France doing business as the UNITED STATES, Inc. and moved in. They also took over the “State” franchises and opened their own “STATE OF______” franchises.
For the past 70 years they have enslaved the people of America and plundered the assets of The United States Trust (1789).
The creditors who forced the bankruptcy of the United States of America, Inc. included the World Bank, the International Bank of Development and Reconstruction, and the Federal Reserve — but the priority creditors named in the 1934 Bankruptcy Act were the American States and the American State Citizens.
The banks, being aware of their own schemes, named the Secretary of the Treasury of Puerto Rico to act as their chosen Bankruptcy Trustee. (See Federal Title 5 for details.)
The Secretary of the Treasury of Puerto Rico seized all the bogus “States on Paper” and “Americans on Paper” created by the Roosevelt Administration and rolled all the assets presumed to be part of these trusts into Roman Inferior Trusts (Cestui Que Vie Trusts) operated “in the NAME of” the foreign situs trusts Roosevelt created.
Thus, a living man denoted properly as “john quincy adams” was misrepresented as a foreign situs trust doing business as “John Quincy Adams” and then this entity was declared “dead, presumed missing at sea” by the perpetrators of this massive identity theft scheme, and all the assets of “John Quincy Adams” were rolled over into a Roman Inferior Trust doing business as “JOHN QUINCY ADAMS”.
The Secretary of the Treasury of Puerto Rico also “removed” all these Roman Inferior Trusts to Puerto Rico for “safe keeping” where they came under the foreign jurisdiction of the Puerto Rican Commonwealth and the UK. There they were enslaved and taxed for the privilege of importing revenue to Puerto Rico — otherwise known as the “income tax”.
All this was done in the name of winning World War II.
The claims against the American assets supplied the credit to boot up the war industry effort and seizing the ESTATES of the Americans and “redefining” individual Americans as chattel belonging to their own ESTATES allowed a means of conscripting millions of men into the Armed Services.
After the War, nothing changed. The perpetrators never retooled American industry.
They just went on pumping out armaments and selling arms and borrowing money against assets they never owned and enslaving the American people to the tune of Yankee Doodle Dandy.
Over the years the criminality of the arms dealers has become a terrible worldwide problem.
They branched out from simply selling weapons and promoting war, to selling drugs and running gambling and prostitution rings, booze and cigarettes, and every form of vice, violence, and viciousness.
They also used their position of trust as “the government” to manipulate commodity and stock markets, and control natural resources belonging to the American people for private gain.
And the Church is culpable, because at the broader base, the Church knew and did nothing.
It continued to mindlessly operate on the directives established by the Treaty of Verona and never re-examined the disastrous consequences of all this for humanity, much less the hideous theft and abuse practiced upon the Americans — incalculable amounts of labor siphoned off, incalculable material losses, and millions of lives lost or maimed in wars for profit.
To that, you and your peers have turned a blind eye and shrugged, and said, it’s the responsibility of the voters.
The same voters who have been purposefully misled and self-interestedly abused, kept in the dark, manipulated, defrauded, and robbed?
By their EMPLOYEES and those they trusted to act in their behalf? By the Supreme Pontiff, who was obligated by solemn treaty to act as their Trustee?
It’s with good reason that the higher administrators of the Church have been reluctant to expose the criminality or deal with it, for fear that the Church would be blamed.
However, by 2009, the Church was being blamed, effectively and determinedly, until it was all finally brought before Pope Benedict XVI, who accepted responsibility, who exercised his temporal powers, and began dealing with the corruption.
Pope Francis has brought the vitality and vigor and insight needed to the Office and is continuing to bring remedy.
Meanwhile the bankruptcy of the United States of America, Inc. has finally been ended.
The old “Federal Reserve System” is no more, but a new version of “FEDERAL RESERVE” has been organized under UNITED NATIONS auspices and has tried to mount a new round of the same old game in collusion with the IMF.
It’s a funny thing about a “debt-credit” monetary system. When you create a debt for one party, you unavoidably create a debt for another.
So when people talk about the “National Debt” being “$13 or $21 or however many trillion “dollars” that means that somewhere, someone or something, is being CREDITED with that amount of money.
Exactly who and what came to the surface in July of 2011. We have the UCC Filings on file.
The perpetrators rolled the credit side of the “National Debt” over into the “United States Department of the Treasury” and used it to back a new specie of fiat debt note called “US TREASURY NOTES”.
They have attempted, in other words, to initiate another round of the same old scam.
There is little doubt that it was the intention of the two colluding banking cartels — the FEDERAL RESERVE and the IMF — to simply reverse positions: bankrupt the UNITED STATES, INC.
leaving the Roman Inferior Trusts named after the Americans to stand as sureties for the debts of the insolvent UNITED STATES, INC. during another nice, long bankruptcy reorganization.
Intervention by Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis both, together with ever-increasing public awareness of the situation and the fraud, has served to make what is euphemistically called “re-venue” impossible.
In addition to the American State Citizens waking up, the Russians and Chinese and other nations of the BRICS Alliance woke up.
As part of the fraud practiced against the Americans, Canadians, Australians, Japanese, and the populations of most the countries of Western Europe, all bank accounts were converted to the ownership of the banks.
As you now know, if you didn’t before, all bank accounts belonging to “JOHN QUINCY PUBLIC” are in fact accounts belonging to a Puerto Rican ESTATE Trust owned and operated by agencies of the IMF.
This is how Christine LaGarde can speak so nonchalantly about seizing American 401k’s and savings and other retirement accounts: the IMF surreptitiously owns those accounts.
The living Americans who innocently deposited their life savings into those accounts thinking that they were their own private bank accounts have been deceived and defrauded and “presumed” by the perpetrators to “donate” everything in those accounts to “public trusts” operated in their NAMES.
Remember — I am an officer of the Church, too.
I have taken the vow and placed the blood seal on the altar.
This is not a joke.
This is not a rehearsal.
Take what you believe to be “your” check book out of your pocket and a strong magnifying glass and look at what appears to be the signature line — what do you see?
It’s not really a line.
It’s a row of microprint endlessly repeating “authorizing signature”.
Why would that verbiage have to be there, and why would it have to be obscured? To keep the victims from knowing the truth — that all their assets in banks have been unlawfully converted.
You’ve already been told about the Puerto Rican ESTATE Trusts. Now witness the IRS scam.
The living man, john quincy adams, is exempt by law from ever having to pay taxes, and by definition, “income” is profit accrued by corporations.
It is literally impossible for any living American to owe income tax, yet millions upon millions of Americans are robbed, defrauded, harassed, and even imprisoned every year over “income” taxes.
How is this possible?
The JOHN QUINCY ADAMS ESTATE is a trust, a legal fiction entity, a corporation.
Every dime that the living man known as john quincy adams unknowingly “donates” to the bank account belonging to the JOHN QUINCY ADAMS ESTATE is 100% profit for a Puerto Rican trust, and it just so happens that there is an excise tax for the privilege of importing revenue to Puerto Rico.
The monster tax the poor devils for the privilege of giving them their money, and then people like Christine LaGarde sit around drinking champagne and callously discussing exactly how to finesse the seizure of the retirement accounts of millions of innocent American Senior Citizens.
But there are worse things.
Other elements among the criminals have taken out million dollar life insurance policies on every American man, woman and child.
They think they will simply murder a few hundred million of their creditors and collect on the life insurance policies.
Have you heard of the All Seeing? Cardinal George?
I am the left hand of anu:hotep and I will be obeyed in this matter, as will Pope Francis.
There will be no seizure of the American retirement accounts, no false flags, no murder, no mayhem, no scalar weapons deployed.
There will be no deceptive “offers” in commerce seeking to exchange gold for land or human capital under conditions of non-disclosure and deceit.
There will be an end to this criminality and to the complacency of the Church and of the American Cardinals and Archbishops responsible for the mis-administration of the courts.
Or there will be Hell on earth, Cardinal George — literally, and it will not come against the innocent Americans. The Left Hand of God will come for those who are responsible and unrepentant.
The Treaty of Verona is extinguished.
All Bar Association licenses are extinguished.
By order of Pope Francis, all attorneys, all clerks, every member of the judicial system operating these frauds and oppressions became 100% individually and commercially liable as of September 1, 2013.
The banking cartels and governmental services corporations have been given three years to clean up their acts from top to bottom, to come into compliance with the Original Equity contract owed to the Americans, and to stop operating in criminal default. (That 3 years has now expired.)
I suggest that you get over your idea that it is the voter’s responsibility.
May God bless you to the same extent that you bless others.

Here is what Anna has to say about my work:
By Anna Von Reitz
There are now hundreds of hucksters out there selling my work to profit themselves. They cherry pick and combine my work with other information and they Mix and Match as they see fit from other sources and then they "re-package" this mish-mash as a "Freedom Package" and they sell it. And then people try to blame me for whatever results they get from buying these packages.
Nope. I am not authorizing or reviewing or approving any of these other efforts. I only take responsibility for mine.
Very early on, the decision was made to make the information coming in from our research available for free. The reasons for this are simple enough to see. Number One--- nobody should be denied freedom simply because they are poor. Number Two --- many of the nation's poorest people are our own veterans, who paid for their freedom and mine, already. Number Three --- for our efforts to succeed, a great many Americans must be awakened from their deep slumber and anything that restricts or impedes that process is to be avoided. Number Four -- for our efforts to succeed, people have to start working together in a spirit of brotherhood and common cause instead of hiding out in the woods and hoping to avoid contact with Big Brother. Giving everyone the benefit of the work encourages people to give back whatever they can give in return. That then encourages community spirit and the effort blossoms.
There is exactly one official source for our work on the web, and that is Paul Stramer's: www.annavonreitz.com.
When you push the donate button on Paul's website, you are saying "Thank you!" to him for countless hours devoted to keeping the website going and the information flowing despite many obstacles and irritations. You are saying "Thank you!" to him for forwarding your messages to me when you can't get through any other way. He uses your donations to keep the website up and running, to make improvements to it, to expand the readership and otherwise advertise and gain exposure for the information. If there is anything left over at the end of the month, he forwards it on to me and I divvy it up to our non-Bar lawyers and auditors and researchers who are in need.
Other websites and other purveyors of my information are also presenting you with donate buttons. It should be understood that none of that money is coming to me. It's going to support those websites and whoever is managing them.
It should also be understood that I am not involved in those websites and they are just "re-posting" --- and hopefully respecting my copyrights.
If you want to donate to me and to my team (other than Paul who is very much a part of the team, and simply has his own donate button) I prefer to receive donations via Snail Mail at: Anna Maria Riezinger, c/o Box 520994, Big Lake, Alaska 99652.
Your direct donations enable me to send support to our guys in the field, the non-Bar Attorneys and researchers who donate their time and energy to this effort for free, but need help covering the expenses of their work.
Some research requires money -- travel, certified copies, even just plain copies can cost a lot of money, fees of various kinds---- it's not all just a matter of sitting in front of a computer. Some information requires us to chase it down like a runaway dog.
Court cases are always expensive. Always. 100% of the time, THEY ding us for all their fees and copies and bonds and so on and on.
Some of our researchers are past eighty, living on very limited incomes, and still doing their best. For them, your donations pay electric bills, copy paper and ink, and other expenses they cannot afford to donate because they are so poor themselves.
Almost daily I am humbled by the sacrifices so many people worldwide are making to free themselves and regain control of their governments and the legal systems that have run amok. We can't do this alone. We can only do it as whole communities working together with a common vision.
Those of you who are reading this, please pause a moment and think about what you can do, what you can contribute. If it's five bucks or five minutes or thirty seconds to say a prayer, whatever you have that you can give, please remember where all this information is coming from and at what price it is coming.
And remember that there is only one official website that is connected directly to me: www.annavonreitz.com

---------------------------------------------------------------
We need your help to make this go around the world.
Editor's note from Paul.
If you look in the right hand column on this blog you will find two Donate buttons.
The first one is for a PayPal donation with any amount of your choosing, and which you can make a recurring monthly donation if you choose, or leave it a one time donation.
We send a big thank you to all those who have used that button over the last 8 years. You are the best, and God Bless You and Yours'. You are in our Prayers daily.
I have also added a second button that uses Square UP and takes you to a page where you can set your amount and also set it as a monthly donation if you so desire.
I have been working at this effort now for over ten years, and I am going to level with you all about what it takes to make Anna's words and writings go around the world.
Publishing her articles (5006 of them as of today) is just the beginning of what we do here. The idea from the start was to let what Anna is saying in her articles build a consensus around the world that would lead to freedom for the average man or woman instead of the victimization by "government" of the people of the world that we are currently experiencing. I have never found anyone who understands the history of fraud by government that has brought us to this evil time better than Anna Von Reitz. She was the first one to come on the scene who had fully assembled the puzzle of fraud so we could get our minds around it.
The idea behind this is the principal that evil can only operate when it's victims are deceived about what is happening to them and why, and that exposure to the light of day will usually reverse the evil once the truth becomes pervasive enough. This has been the case throughout history. The reason is that God has written his 10 Commandments into the heart of every man, and people will know what is true, and what is false, provided they are given good information.
The Romans learned that the hard way. They learned that it is difficult to fight an idea with swords and clubs. It's impossible to fight a good and true idea whose time has come in God's Holy will, or His timeline in history. We are living in a time such as that, where people see the evil in governments around the world, and they want information that will counteract the evil and lies, and solutions to get the evil exposed and out of power. We are living in a time of great awakening, although many are still asleep. We haven't reached enough people yet.
We can not expect to get these articles of truth out there without a steady stream of advertising to find new people to read those words, and to that end I have created some very hard hitting ads that we are running on as many places as we can afford. Here is one such ad we have been running by email for a few months, that is getting good results and has added hundreds of people to our mailing list for the announcements when Anna writes a new article. Go ahead and click on this ad to see what happens.
To see all the ads we are running and help us support our advertising campaigns go here: http://www.annavonreitz.com/bannerads.htmlThe fly in the ointment with ad campaigns is that it is difficult to finance ads like this by donations when the donations are not monthly. When we don't know what will come in from month to month we can't plan for and buy paid advertising on an ongoing basis. I have only two systems that I have bought on a continuous basis for the last 8 years or so, and now have over 644,000 emails of people who want more information about finding an on line opportunity who I can email to on a daily basis. I slip the ads from the above link into those systems about twice per week in between the ads for Silver and Civil Flags, and we are getting lots of interest with that, but it should be 644 million instead of 644 thousand.
So this is why I have said over and over that we value small monthly donations as much or more than we value one time donations. You are free to do either of course, but those small monthly donations are what really keeps us going with the advertising efforts. Another thing about small monthly donations is that if you must quit once in a while to catch up with your bills, it doesn't hurt our efforts so badly. Think about it. Would you rather have one person who donates $1000 each month, or 200 people each donating $5. It's still $1000, but what if that one person gets in an accident, or runs out of money? You can see the picture from our end of the situation. Another point is that the $5 or $10 donation is something that just about anyone can afford to do. And if you can't, well God Bless you anyway. You can always Pray for Us.
Thank you for reading this and for anything you can do to help.
GOSPEL (Matt XXII. 35-46.) At that time, The Pharisees came to Jesus, and one of them, a doctor of the law, asked him, tempting him: Master, which is the great commandment of the law? Jesus said to him: Thou shaft love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind.
