International Public Notice: The Trail of Tears Administrative "State"

 By Anna Von Reitz

We just explained to the world how one word, "State", has been misapplied to "States of States" and "Confederate States" and the confusion and ignorance and criminality that has engendered, but there is one more example of this same phenomenon: the "Administrative State", which is also routinely called a "State", even though it isn't one. 

We decided to treat the concept and confusion surrounding "administrative states" separately, for although it is a similar gambit to the State of State v. State confusion, it takes the whole concept a step further away from reality and enters the realm of deliberate misrepresentation and intentional fraud.  

The first true example that we have been able to track down as an administrative State occurred in Oklahoma, which was a Territory on the edge of nowhere in 1830 when Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act.  

Jackson turned the Territory of Oklahoma into an administrative military State, an "occupied territory" under the control of the British Territorial Company Jackson was operating as "the" United States of America.  The Indian Removal Act turned Oklahoma Territory into an open air prison for the Indians "removed" and allowed Jackson's Company to collect service fees for warehousing them. 

This was a preliminary move toward the horrors that would manifest in full thirty years later, as Blue Coats -- British Territorial Mercenaries -- were used to attack, incarcerate, and remove tribe after tribe from their homelands in the western states and force them onto "reservations" --- basically, roomy internment camps, that separated them from the rest of the population and started the modern welfare state in which the Territorial Government became responsible for providing the basics of existence to those interned. 

Using the chaos and confusions created by similar names and the so-called Civil War, Jackson's successors would endeavor to set up this same system throughout The United States -- and do it under color of law.  

The assumption of military occupation of our entire country was provided by the Civil War, and so long as nobody mentioned that the Civil War wasn't a "war" and was a Mercenary Conflict instead, they could get away with it.  

We've mentioned that fact, and the fact that the Law of War has nothing to do with the price of beans in America, nor with the mis-administration and abuses of the British Territorial Federal Services Provider. 

This explains how the whole business of the Administrative "State" started out as a military operation under Andrew Jackson aimed at unlawful and predatory action against native Americans and how military involvement in such Administrative States has continued.  

Over the years, the role of the mercenary-military evolved so that its part in this morass of criminality is less obvious, but it is still present and at the bottom of the Territorial Administrative States and District Courts and School Districts and Municipal Districts that pox-mark our country.  

They've hired or in some cases (Medical Doctors and Attorneys, for example) conscripted (via licensure and forced guild membership) an entire cadre of "civilian military" employees and promoted a system of private corporate elections to substitute for the Public Office Elections of our lawful public officials.  

The "Governor" of each "State of State" organization is the head of the local Territorial British Crown Administrative Corporation and a "civilian military" employee.  Not American.  Not a Public Office in our system of governance at all.  

This is a picture book example of how the abuse of one man results in the abuse of all men.  The misery of the Cherokee who were innocent of any crime, being evicted unlawfully from their homes and lands and force marched to Oklahoma in the winter is adequate demonstration of the ultimate evil of this scourge that Jackson unleashed, probably without realizing what he had done.  

To him, the Indians were taking up space needed by white settlers and if he could provide an additional "service" by warehousing them on reservations during peacetime when work was slack for the Army, why not?  Then as now, the British Territorial Service Providers were heavily involved in providing mercenary services -- and charging the American Public for them. 

The British Service Providers looked down on our ragtag militias and were intent on building a professional standing army, something that our Founding Fathers were dead against, both in terms of the cost and the danger that such a force could pose to freedom.  

It is no accident that civilian militias have been demonized in the press, when in fact our civilian militias have been absorbed into and unlawfully converted, aka, "Federalized" into the "National Guard" and the only "well-regulated militias" that remain are those organized under the auspices of the current American State Assemblies.  

Jackson's  creation of the Territorial Administrative State was no doubt fueled by prejudice against colored people of all kinds and particularly against American Indians, as there were profit motives in addition to racial prejudices involved.  

Many tribes in the Southeastern States, like the Cherokee and Creek nations,  had become successful farmers and plantation owners and horse breeders, with lands and business operations on a par with white people.  Jackson's "resettlement" meant that his political cronies and supporters in the military could benefit from these "abandoned" homes and lands vacated by the Indian Removal Act.  

This is little different from what went on in Ireland a few years later, where the British Mercenaries came in and removed native Irish from land that had belonged to them since prehistory in favor of English industrialists, nor does it differ from what they subsequently did in India and South Africa, Palestine, and elsewhere, for the next century and a half. 

The evils of the British Territorial Government are self-evident, and their lack of any credible basis of authority for their actions is also.  That a commercial company, or a few years later, a commercial corporation, was ever allowed to get away with this level of abuse and over-reach is mind-boggling, but they were largely protected because they were operating under color of law.  

Everyone thought that they were employed by the lawful American Government, and that whatever they did had to be approved by the actual American Government. They gained a huge benefit from that assumption, especially when the American Government was somewhat crippled by the loss of key personnel and a full third of its operating structure during the so-called Civil War. 

It didn't help the actual American Government that the British Territorial Government mischaracterized it as a "rebel" organization, even though our States of the Union weren't involved in their  Mercenary Conflict.  

The Brits burned our homes and ambushed our men and slandered our officers and stole our Great Seals and destroyed our documents and rewrote our history while taking their paychecks from our pockets and wearing what appeared to be our uniforms the whole time.  

It took the Native nations a long while to realize that the Blue Coats were British expeditionary forces, not American; it took us almost as long, because the snakes were well-hidden in our midst, and thanks to them, our very identity and history was obscured. 

Books, including Law Books, were removed from libraries.  Libraries like the Library of Congress, were shut down or closed to the public. As of Jimmy Carter's Administration, American History was no longer taught in the Public Schools -- only United States History -- and the very definition of "which Public" had been skewed to allow a Federal Department of Education to exist along with federal "School Districts" and "School Boards" usurping upon the American counties and communities that are supposed to be in charge of education in America.  

It was their prior-established position of trust that allowed the usurping British Territorial Service Providers to pull the Substitution Fraud Scheme we have detailed earlier, making it possible to substitute their corporation dba the United States of America (Incorporated) for our American Federal Republic doing business as the united States of America (unincorporated), and also allowing them to substitute their State of State organizations for our American State of State organizations, so that the British Territorial entity doing business as "the State of Wisconsin" very quietly replaced the American version, "The State of Wisconsin".  

All this crime has continued for over a century and a half, and now must come to an end. 

For those who are still confused about how the Brits could manage all this, remember --- after the War of Independence, a very large contingent of British Subjects, Tories, who fought against us in the War, were allowed to stay here and keep their business interests intact.  They look like Americans.  They talk like Americans.  But they are British Subjects, instead.  This includes all the members of the Bar Associations who identify themselves as "Esquires". 

We and the native nations were not the only victims.  The same exact playbook of fraud, deceit, and usurpation was used throughout the former Commonwealth, the British Home Islands, The United States and United States Possessions, Japan, the seventeen European nations occupied by the Allies in World War II, and every nation that has been attacked and subourned and bought off using our money ever since.  

These corporations are forfeit for the crimes they have committed and that's why the tap is being turned off on military pay; a change of paymasters is in order.  If you stop and think about it, it makes no sense at all for a British Municipal Corporation, SERCO, to be the Paymaster for the American Armed Forces -- and from now on, they are going to be American Armed Forces.  

Payment to our Armed Services will resume once this conundrum gets straightened out. Until then, all those who can squeak by are encouraged to stay on post and do their jobs, knowing that both better pay and a better world stands on the near horizon.  

In addition to the pause in military pay, we can anticipate other major hiccups, including termination of welfare programs and delays in food stamps and Medicare and other programs that have been the central features of the "welfare state" spawned by the Administrative State. 

Note the example of "welfare state"--- the number of things presenting themselves as "states" grows in direct proportion to our forgetting what a State is.  

A State is a direct instrumentality of the nation-state created by the people and the physical environment they populate.  Our States are formed and directed by our State Assemblies which are populated by living people, not District Assemblies inhabited by legal fiction entities known as "persons". 

A State isn't a foreign corporation in the business of providing government services. It isn't something fanciful dictated by function, for example, a "welfare state" or "state of being" or "state of emergency".  

Please note that the downsizing and firing of Federal Municipal Employees is an entirely different matter and is being driven by the Chapter 7 bankruptcy of the UNITED STATES, INC.  From the moment Obama dropped the bankruptcy bomb, it was certain that this mammoth downsizing of the Federal Civil Service was going to happen.  

Although some of this downsizing is occurring as a result of criminal investigations finally coming to fruition, and another large portion is being driven by the corruption of the Federal Agencies, the bankruptcy means that roughly two-thirds of the Federal Government we have known, is disappearing in front of our eyes.  

All the displaced Federal workers are going to hit an already chaotic jobs market, which will cause more confusion and uncertainty.  A lot of people will blame this on Trump, but it was actually a business decision made by Pope Francis before Trump's first term.  

The Donald is lily-white and blameless for the bankruptcy chaos. 

As the military, which has largely been blind-sided as to its role in all this, struggles to evaluate and cope, the court systems are also being brought to their Come to Jesus Meeting for their part in all of this.  

Along with the Territorial Administrative States that were illegally constructed and misapplied beginning with Andrew Jackson's Administration, using quasi-military powers only presumed to exist and to be available to the U.S. Congress, the King's Bench Courts were imported to this country and used to terrorize our people and asset-strip our States of the Union.  

The pollution of British Common Law by the Admiralty has been explained elsewhere, but the upshot is that the judges get a cut out of everything they can seize for the benefit of their king and the courts have been turned into glorified collection agencies for what is operating as a world-spanning commercial crime syndicate: the British Crown. 

This is not the first time that they've been busted. 

Even now, they are continuing their game, and had the audacity to evict me from my own house under completely false legal presumptions and false claims in commerce, built upon the idea that I, one of the people of this country, must be a Federal Dual Citizen, instead.  

This is refuted on their own records, so there is no excuse for their actions and presumptions, a fact that is fast coming home to roost.  

Their days of playing Pin the Tail on the Non-Existent Citizen are coming to an end, and with them, the very existence of their Judiciary Courts, aka, King's Bench Courts, in this country, is in question.    

Seldom, if ever, in the history of mankind, has such a duplicitous and evil criminal conspiracy emerged, one that has sought to turn the very institutions of justice into cesspits of injustice and unjust enrichment.  

More recently, the same Actors have done the same via medicine; by threatening doctors who have been unknowingly conscripted into their "civilian military" via acceptance of the corporation's medical licenses on one hand, and rewarding them (and the hospitals they work for) with payola for every "Covid death" on the other hand, the same criminal elements have promoted the entire phony vaccine genocide on the innocent and trusting world population.  

They have also promoted an enslavement racket, by which they have hoped to claim ownership of those vaccinated as Genetically Modified Organisms.  They have at the same time promoted a Murder Racket, by which they then hope to claim all the abandoned estates of the victims as they succumb to poisonous adjuvants injected at the same time as the scrap of damaging mRNA the patent holders are trying to use to make their commercial claims to own the "transhuman" population.  

And even now, they are still trying to promote the idea of "human caused" global warming, when it is widely known that a single large volcano spews out more carbon dioxide in a few days than mankind has created in centuries.  The UN CORP has made its first attempt to impose draconian carbon taxes on the whole world, based on their own senseless malarkey.

Their time of reckoning has come.

When empires overreach, currencies crumble — and history’s warning lights begin to flash. 

In his latest episode of The GoldSilver Show, Mike Maloney and Alan Hibbard unpack why the markets may have already peaked, how global power is shifting toward gold, and why holding real assets has never been more essential.

In 2024 we started using the new mint in Indiana to stamp and ship our silver rounds, after over 18 years with the previous mint in Utah. 

After receiving the first three orders and finding the quality to be even better than the product from the old mint we started taking orders for these new Divisible one ounce silver .999 fine rounds.

The new and much larger minting company has multiple facilities around the country including in Indiana, California and Nevada.

I now have a good working relationship with the new company and am making even more announcements about the improved way we are doing this business. Here are some of the things that are changing for the better for you, our customers.

1. The old 500 ounce minimum order is gone. The new minimum order is now 60 ounces

2. They will be very competitive in their price structure, and right now we are offering a price plan based on the volume of metal in each order. See below.

3. The shipping will be faster, and the wait time will be less than it was. Each order will be shipped with full insurance. I made my first 3 orders and all those orders arrived here for local customers and our stock. The total time from order to arrival was just 12 days for those orders. Since then we have had several large orders go out and be delivered within 2 weeks.

These will be shipped from Indiana or Nevada depending on where the order is going, by UPS Ground, fully insured.

 We will still be accepting wire transfers, or cashiers checks like always. 

We can only lock an order after we have received the funds. Here is the formula we use to figure your price.

Go to this link on Kitco.com and look up the ask price of silver. https://www.kitco.com/price/precious-metals

It's in the first table on that page. 



For a 60 oz. to 99 oz. order, take the ask price and add $3.95

For a 100 oz. to 199 oz. order, take the ask price and add $3.75. 

For a 200 oz. to 299 oz. order, take the ask price and add $3.50. 

For a 300 oz. to 999 oz. order, take the ask price and add $3.25. 

All orders over 1000 ounces will be $3.00 over spot ask price.

Take that number times the number of ounces (60 or over) and then add $25.00 for each 60 to 100 ounce box for shipping, or for large orders add $40 per 500 ounce box for shipping.

Once we have your funds we will run this same formula to finalize the price with shipping.

Be sure to call us when you are ready to order so we can answer your questions.

When you call I will get your email address and send you the bank info for wire transfers or the mailing info for your payment. You can then reply with your shipping address for UPS.

If you have any questions here is my contact info.

Office phone  406 889 3183  8 AM to 2 PM and 4PM to 6 PM weekdays.

Cell  406 253 4257  when I am not in the office. Try the Office line first.

pstramer@gmail.com   or  pstramer@eurekadsl.net

Thanks for your support over the years.  We are now open and taking orders.

International Public Notice: American History Lesson

 By Anna Von Reitz

We have "States", "States of the Union", and "States of States". 

And since the 1950's we've had "Administrative States" sponsored as a different kind of "State of State".  

Dizzy yet, and are you beginning to see all the opportunities for: (1) misunderstandings, (2) confusions, and (3) fraud schemes? 

Well, it's the 1850's -- step back in time -- and all the above just got kicked into hyperdrive, because we got linguistically lazy and developed no less than three ways of referring to "States of States". 

A "state of state" is a commercial term that refers to all the business apparatus that does business for or provides services to a State, and isn't the State itself. 

"States of States" were routinely referred to as "Confederate States" (both North and South) and as "States", too.   

The first confusion, calling States of States "Confederate States" gave everyone the impression that there was some "other" kind of State involved in the American Civil War, when there wasn't.  

States of States are all Confederate States with respect to their State of the Union by definition.   

In the so-called Civil War, it was State of State business organizations providing services to the States of the Union that fought the whole conflict, but that was obscured from the Public by calling the "Northern Confederation" by a different name: "the Union" which was another semantic deceit and confusion in and of itself.  

Remember that a State of State is a Confederate State with respect to their State of the Union --- and North or South has nothing to do with it.  

The State of Ohio is a Confederate State with respect to Ohio, just as The State of Georgia is a Confederate State with respect to Georgia.  

The second confusion arises from calling a "State of State" a "State", which is a different kind of identity crisis, in which the business apparatus providing service for and to a State of the Union is mistaken for the State of the Union itself.

In this situation, The State of Ohio is mistaken for Ohio, the State.    

So to make sense of this miasma we must be at pains to call a State of State a State of State and not allow ourselves any urbane shortcuts and sloppy language that leads to sloppy thinking. 

A "State of State" that works for a State and its People, is a separate and distinct entity and the services that a "State of State" provides can be contracted for from different providers.  

Prior to the so-called Civil War, our States of the Union had contracts with American State of State providers.  Afterward, the States of the Union were bum-rushed under conditions of deceit and forced to write new State of State Constitutions that allowed British Territorial businesses to come in and take over and substitute their State of State organizations for ours.  

This had the character of an illegal corporate takeover, and when it was done, nobody was the wiser.  The new management wiggled its way into position very quietly, and so far as the General Public could observe, the only visible change was the definite article, "the".  

Before the Civil War we had American-run institutions, for example, The State of Ohio or The State of Georgia, providing the services to the States of the Union.  Afterward, we had foreign British Territorial business organizations called "the State of Ohio" or "the State of Georgia". 

The only apparent change was from "The" to "the".

This Substitution Scheme led to our American Government being commandeered at a State services level and at a Federal level, at the same time, by the same Bad Actors.  

The American Federal Republic doing business under "The Constitution for the united States of America" was mothballed and replaced by the British Territorial service provider doing business under "The Constitution of the United States of America".  

Again, the names were very similar, differing only by "for" and "of" and the odd use of "united" instead of "United".  Perhaps most importantly, there is no verbal difference at all. 

This Similar Names Deceit has been used to commandeer and deceive our nation for over 160 years.  It's the greatest con game in recorded history.  It has also given rise to the idea that our American Government somehow ceased to exist, was "lost" in the Civil War, or left "our shores" --- and generally, the idea that we don't have a lawful government in this country, occupying the land and soil jurisdiction belonging to The United States. 

That's the result of British Bunko, too.  

There are dozens of lawful nations within the borders of our geography, and our States of the Union and Union States are still here, too.  So although this comes as a big disappointment to certain self-interested debtor nations and numerous large corporations, our land and soil are not vacant, and not subject to any claim on abandonment. 

Our people still exist and are still owed every jot of every Federal Constitution and are also owed the assets that have been locked up in the "State" Trusts that the Perpetrators formed in the wake of the Civil War and used as collateral for their own borrowing.  

They are the ones in debt to us for their entire "National Debt", which is our "National Credit".

A British-American Voice Raised

 By Anna Von Reitz

Yesterday in our explanation of "Done with evil!" we wrote about the choice that makes all the difference between the chaos, poverty, violence, and misery that exists in this world, and the peace, plenty, security, and happiness that can exist if we make different choices.

Making different choices means embracing different values.  

We don't need skyscrapers and casinos labeled as "stock markets".  We don't need to gouge and lie to and compete with other people, don't need to blame anybody, don't need to put on masks and play a role in a stage play written by someone else and directed by something else. 

We don't have to pretend anymore.  

If everyone knew and believed that love is the greatest commodity, they would have no difficulty waking up each morning and choosing to love.  They'd be eager to create more of what is so ultimately valuable and fulfilling, right?  

Instead, millions of us get up each day and mount the hamster wheel and play the game, enslaved by "social mechanisms" and expectations we barely perceive.  

Like the mouse in his maze, arriving at the lever he has to push before he receives his kernel of corn, we don't even question why this is the way it is, why there is a maze, why there is a lever, why do you get a kernal of corn when you press the lever? 

Now, people aren't even getting a kernel of corn.  They are getting a piece of plastic that looks like a kernel of corn, and even the plastic, which offers no real nourishment, is poisoned to make the mouse sick and obtain more profit from him for medical "care".  

We could have screamed, "For God's sake, wake up!" at the top of our lungs, but nobody would have heard the real message.  They would have jerked awake, blinked, wondered briefly what's going on, been annoyed with us, and gone back to sleep.  

They would never begin to imagine that they are the value and the Valuer, the authors, the maze-minders, and the mice.  

And that they could make a different choice.  

Alan Watts is a British-American philosopher who describes the beginning of the awakening process.  Please take a moment to understand this organic process:


It takes time to wake up, so be gentle with yourselves and with everyone else.  

While the whole process of awakening can often take years, the decision to love is relatively simple, because we never lost our ability to love and we can still make decisions. 

So don't be distracted or confused and think you have to become a "spiritual" person and pay gurus and spend money on "healing" and go on fasts and pay temples and churches and try to mollify an angry God.  If God wanted toadies he could have made us toadies; instead, he graced us with free will. 

It's your choice what kind of world you live in.  It has always been your choice.   And you can make the most important choice right now.

Nineteenth Sunday After Pentecost

 Rev. Fr. Leonard Goffine's

The Church's Year

INTROIT I am the salvation of the people, saith the Lord: in whatever tribulation they shall cry to me, I will hear them: and I will be their Lord for ever. Attend, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth. (Ps. LXXVII.) Glory etc.

COLLECT Almighty and merciful God, graciously keep us from all things that are hurtful; that we, being set free both in mind and body, may with ready minds accomplish whatever is Thine. Thro'.

EPISTLE (Ephes. IV. 23-28.) Brethren, Be re­newed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new man, who according to God is created in justice and holiness of truth. Wherefore, putting, away lying, speak ye the truth every man with his neighbor, for we are members one of another. Be angry, and sin not. Let not the sun go clown upon your anger. Give not place to the devil. He that stole, let him now steal no more; but rather let him labor, work­ing with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have something to give to him that suffereth need.

EXPLANATION  St. Paul admonishes the Ephesians to lay aside the- old man, like a worn out garment, and put on the new man, that is, to renew their internal and external life. This renewal according to his teaching takes place, when we by a true repentance put away our vices, shun all lies, anger, injustice, &c., and adorn our soul with virtues, and zealously seek after Christian justice and perfection. We have, perhaps, already sought to change our manner of living, for which a jubilee or some other particular solemnity of the Church gave us occasion, and at that time, perhaps, purified our soul by a general confession, making the firm resolution to live for God, and work out our salvation, we appeared converted, and to have become other men: but how long did this conversion last? Ah, how soon did we fall back into the old, sinful ways. And why? Because we lived in too great, deceitful security. We thought everything accomplished by the general confession; we were satisfied, and omitted to employ the means of remaining in the state of grace. We did not thank God for the grace of conversion; we did not ask Him for the grace of perseverance; we frequented evil company, and did not avoid dangerous occasions; we indulged in idleness and pleasures as before. How can it appear strange, if such a conversion is fruitless? Ah, we should remain in wholesome fear even after the remission of our sins. (Ecclus. V. 5.) Even if we could say that we have done everything, nevertheless we cannot be certain, whether we be worthy of hatred or love. (Ecclus. IX. 1.) We should, therefore, work out our salvation according to the advice of St. Paul (Philipp. II. 12.) in fear and trembling, and thus not fall into the old life of sin, losing the hope of a new conversion.

Tenth Sunday After PentecostGOSPEL (Matt. XXII. 1-14.) At that time, Jesus spoke to the chief priests and the Pharisees in parables, saying: The kingdom of heaven is likened to a king, who made a marriage for his son. And he sent his servants, to call them that were invited to the marriage, and they would not come. Again he sent other servants, saying: Tell them that were invited, Behold I have prepared my dinner; my beeves and fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come ye to the marriage. But they neglected: and went their, ways, one to his farm, and another to his mer­chandise: and the rest laid hands on his servants, and having treated them contumeliously, put them to death. But when the king had heard, of it; he was angry: and sending his armies, he destroyed those murderers, and burnt their city. Then he saith to his servants: The marriage indeed is ready; but they, that were invited were not worthy. Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as you shall find, call to the marriage. And his servants going forth into the ways, gathered together, all that they found, both bad and good; and the marriage was filled with guests. And the king went in to fee the guests; and he saw there a man who had not on a wedding garment: and he saith to him: Friend, how camest thou in hither, not having on a wedding garment? But he was silent. Then the king said to the waiters: Bind his hands and feet, and cast him into the exterior darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many are called, but few are chosen.

REMARK Thir parable agrees in many respects with that for the second  Sunday after Pentecost, and has the same meaning. See, therefore, the explanation of that gospel, as also of the feast of SR Catherine, to which Maybe added the following:

EXPLANATION In this parable the king is our Heavenly Father who has espoused His only-begotten Son to the Church, and on this occasion prepares the most sumptuous marriage-feast by giving the evangelical doctrine, the holy Sacraments, and the heavenly joys. The servants sent to invite the guests are the prophets, apostles and disciples of Christ. Those invited are the Jews who despised the honor and grace of the divine King, destined for them, abused and killed His servants, and were, therefore, cast aside and with their city Jerusalem, destroyed by the armies of their enemies, as a just punishment; in their stead the heathens and all those nations were called, who were on the broad road to destruction, and who now occupy the places of the unfortunate Jews at the marriage feast of the Church, and shall also occupy them in heaven. In the Jews to whom Christ addressed this parable, is verified that many of them, nay, all are called, but few chosen, because they would not heed the invitation.

APPLICATION We have the honor not only to be invited to this marriage-feast, but are in reality guests at it, because we are members of the Church of Christ by faith. "But the Christian," says St. Gregory, "who is a member of the Church by faith, but has not charity, is like to a man who comes to the marriage-feast without the wedding garment." With this garment which is charity, Christ was vested, when He came to celebrate the nuptials with His spouse, the Church, and by the bond of charity the Son of God also unites Himself with His elect. He clearly lets us know that charity is the wedding garment which should vest us. Those, therefore, who believe and are in the communion of the Church, but who do not preserve the grace of charity, are indeed in the wedding-chamber, but they are not adorned with the wedding garment. They are dead members of the Church, and shall not be admitted without this garment into the celestial marriage-feast in the triumphant Church, but rather be cast like that unfor­tunate guest into exterior darkness. This guest was silent, when asked by the king, why he had not .the wedding gar­ment. By this we see, that no one can excuse himself to God for not having charity, because every one can have it, if he asks it from God, and, as St. Augustine says, our heart is the workshop of charity, and every one who has a heart can practice it.

PRAYER I thank Thee, O Jesus, that Thou didst call me to the marriage-feast in Thy Church; give me the wedding garment of charity that I may be present at the celestial marriage-feat, and not be cast into exterior darkness.

INSTRUCTION CONCERNING HELL

Cast him into the exterior darkness. (Matt, XXII. 13.)

What is hell?

Hell is that place where the damned must suffer eternal punishment.

Is there a hell?

Yes; reason, holy Scripture and the Church teach us that there is a hell. Reason tells us that there is a just God who will punish sin. It is evident that all sins are not punished in this world; there must, therefore, be a place, where every mortal sin, not atoned for by sorrow and penance, will be punished, and this place is - hell. All nations from the beginning of the world, even those who had not the light of revelation, believed this.

But clearer still is the existence of hell shown by holy Scripture: The pious Job, (X. 22.) speaks of a region of misery and darkness, where the shadows of death and no order, but where eternal terror dwells. The Prophet Isaias (XXX. 33.) says that hell is deep and wide, and that the fire burning in it, is like a stream of sulphur, ignited by the breath of the Lord. Our Saviour expressly says that those who have done evil, shall go to everlasting torment, (Matt.  XXV. 46.) that they shall be tortured by everlasting fire. (Matt. XXV. 41.) He makes mention of hell, and says that an inextinguishable fire burns there, and a worm which never dies, plagues the wicked. (Mark IX. 42. 43; Matt. X. 28.) All the Fathers of the Church teach and testify to the same doctrine. St. Augustine, among many others, says: "The infinite wisdom of God tells us that there is a hell, and the illimitable power of God it is that punishes the dam­ned in a wonderful, but real manner."

Wherein do the pains of hell consist?

Sacred Scripture and the Church teach concerning the pains, of the reprobate in hell, that the damned burn there in an inextinguishable fire. (Mark IX. 45.) The holy doctors of the Church say, that this fire is never extinguished, and its smoke ascends or rises from century to century, “I see this fire," says St. Gregory, "as if it were gifted with reason; it make a distinction between the guilty, and tortures the damned according to the nature of their sins." This fire burns, but never consumes its victims; it commu­nicates, as Cassiodorus says, immortality to the reprobate and lets them suffer pain, which preserves them, like salt which penetrates the flesh and keeps it from corruption, as Jesus says: Every one shall be salted with fire. (Mark IX. q.8.) This fire does not shine, it leaves the reprobate in darkness, (Matt. VIII. 12.) and with this fire a never dying worm continually torments the damned. This worm is not only a bad conscience, say the holy Fathers, but particu­larly the privation of the Beatific Vision. Eternally will the thought torment the damned: I have lost God, the only true and highest Good, I have lost Him through my fault, I have lost Him for a brief pleasure, I have lost Him forever. In hell eternity devours all time; and if after millions and millions of years a damned soul wailingly asks his companion in misery: What time is it? he receives the answer: Eternity.

Who would not fear hell, and avoid sin which incurs eternal punishment, when he reflects upon this! Arid yet there are many, , upon whom the truth of the existence of a hell makes no impression, who even deny that there is such a place, and who say: God is love, He can have no pleasure in the torments of His creatures, He cannot eter­nally punish a sin which was committed in so short a time as is the life of man." But those who speak thus, forget that God is just, that His love and mercy are indeed always ready to forgive the contrite and penitent, but that His justice must also be satisfied, when the sinner continually rejects the merciful love of God; they forget, that every grievous sin which man commits voluntarily and knowingly is an infinite, eternal insult, offered to God, which can only be atoned for by an eternal punishment. For the perverted and malicious will of a man, who dies in mortal sin, remains perverted and malicious forever, therefore he must also be punished eternally.

O my dear Christian, do not listen to such deceivers; for just on account of their sinful life, they fear hell and therefore they endeavor to free themselves from this fear by denying the existence of hell; but they cannot succeed; for Jesus, the Truth, has told us that there is a hell, and His word remains for all eternity. Endeavor rather by a pious life to escape hell, descend there in spirit frequently according to the advice of a saint, contemplate the torments of the damned, and let this reflection urge you to imitate Christ, who has promised the joys of heaven to all His faithful followers.

CONSOLING DOCTRINE ON THE JOYS OF HEAVEN

The kingdom of heaven is likened to a king, who made a marriage for his son. (Matt. XXII. 2.)

Heaven is compared by Christ to a marriage-feast because we will there enjoy all imaginable pleasures in the most perfect union with God. In what these joys consist, fit. Paul could not describe, although he was wrapt into the third heaven and tasted these pleasures; he only said: Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that love him. (I Cor. II. 9.) Holy Writ, indeed, gives us many descriptions of the celestial joys, by comparing heaven to a paradise of bliss, sometimes to a precious pearl, or a treasure which neither rust nor moth consumes, nor thieves steal; again it represents heaven under the picture of a kingdom, a throne, a crown, whereby we are raised to the highest honor; at another time to the picture of a city which is built of gold, precious stones and pearls, lighted by the splendor of God, filled with magnificence and glory, and where the inhabitants enjoy undisturbed peace and security. These are only images or similitudes, which are taken from the most beautiful, most precious, and magnificent things of the earth, to teach us that heaven is as beautiful and pleasant a place, as we can wish and represent to ourselves, and that all possible beauty, agreeableness and joy may be found there in the highest and most perfect manner, free from evil, anxiety, disgust and fear of losing them.. In heaven we will possess God Himself, the source of all joy and bliss, and will enjoy His own happiness for all eternity. More is riot needed to give us the highest conception of heaven.

Who would not willingly despise the vain, short and im­perfect pleasures of this earth, whilst contemplating this indescribable bliss? Who would not willingly bear all the misfortunes. and misery of this world, when considering that the more .miserable we have been in this life the happier will we be hereafter. What would it avail us to have enjoyed all the pleasures of this world, if deprived of the pleasures of heaven, in, eternity!

ASPIRATION How lovely are Thy tabernacles, O Lord, of hosts! my soul longeth and fainteth for the courts of the Lord. My heart and my flesh have rejoiced in the living God. (Ps. LXXXIII. 2-3.) How do I loathe the world, when I contemplate heaven.

(St. Ignatius Loyola.)

International Public Notice: The Global Grapevine

 By Anna Von Reitz

Yes, we are all about love, goodwill, harmony, and peace.  These are things we make manifest in our lives, these are things we desire for everyone globally.  

But, we are done with evil. 

What does that mean?  

Imagine that you can look through a doorway into another world, and you can see that everyone is happy and having a good time, they are gardening and some are reading and some are having lunch and some are playing games; there are healthy trees and gardens and a pleasant lakeshore just beyond, kids are playing, dogs are romping, cats sleeping in the sun and it all looks so inviting and beautiful..... what you have to understand is that that world is in our own grasp, according to our own decisions. 

We have to choose it.  

When we choose it, we create it.  It's as simple as that.  

Love is a decision that we make everyday. 

That's not just a platitude or a figure of speech.  That's quantum physics.  That's the ultimate reality.  What we think, what we feel, we create. 

So if you decide to love, consistently, with firm decision, the physical reality begins to form itself into the world you envision as surely and certainly as water flows downhill.  As other people join you in that decision and begin envisioning their "happy place" and the world they want to live in, the power and amplification grows. 

Eventually, it gets to the point where we can just forget about what the liars and war-mongers and crooked people are doing, because our vision and joy overwhelms them.  We don't have to argue with them or try to reform them.  It's not our job to soften their hearts. 

By softening our own hearts and turning away from evil ourselves, we create the reality we desire.  They and their dark visions and nightmares lose all power in this world, and sooner or later, they have to "catch the vibe" or move on to a world where they can play war games and immerse themselves in crime---without us. 

We choose not to go there. 

So you see, it really is a matter of decision, and we have made the conscious decision that we are individually and collectively done, finished, and seen all we need to see about evil forevermore.  

A long time ago, so we are told, Satan and Eve were placed in competition with each other, his children against her children. And the contest?  Learn how to tell the difference between good and evil.

We've done that.  We are done with evil.  No more lessons to learn.

So when we hear of an elderly couple being charged $3000 to get a bank account and get their political status corrected, services that we are offering for free to everyone on a global basis, we recognize that as evil. 

And we are done with evil. 

So, if we catch anyone doing anything like that, especially when they are doing it to people who are uneducated, the elderly who don't have computer skills, or people who don't have access to computers  --- people who are vulnerable --- we know that we've made a mistake. 

We've let someone who is still dedicated to evil through the doorway into our world --- somebody who still cares more about money than people, more about "making a killing" than preserving life.  

And we kick them out of the Global Family and shut down their accounts and turn our backs, because nobody who loves evil belongs in our world.  They can go on scrabbling around in their snakepit, stealing and gouging and sneaking and lying. 

All by themselves, so far as we are concerned. 

It's not paradoxical that we use our judgement in these matters. 
As you dedicate yourself to the truth, you come to see the truth more clearly.  Those who have cast themselves out of the Global Family by doing evil things to others have made that decision for themselves. They had the same choice all of us do.  

We chose love.  They chose evil. 

They could have done the work for free, or charged just a little to pay for paper and ink and equipment cost related to the service.  If they had charged $10 per person instead of $1500, we wouldn't be having this conversation, and they wouldn't be looking at a closed door. 

There are only two laws in the world we are building. The Law of Gratitude and The Law of Love. 

If these people had obeyed either one, they wouldn't have charged an elderly couple $30, much less $3000.  

They would have looked at themselves, so richly blessed to have computers and computer skills, so richly blessed to have been enabled by others to claim their birthright and have a Global account ---and instead of charging high prices and blocking access to the same blessings for the poor and the elderly, they would have been eager to help.  

They weren't of this mindset, and instead tried to capitalize on our work and gouge people on top of that, which proves beyond a doubt that: (1) they aren't done with evil; and (2) they don't belong among us.  

Can people change their minds and make different decisions?   Can they decide to love?  

Yes, they can---- but, when we say, "Done with evil!" --- it's not a slogan.  It's a way of life.  

Let all those who enter into the Global Family be aware that while nobody here will harm them, they can still harm themselves by doing evil, selfish, uncaring things to others.  

This is a more profound statement than it might at first appear.  

When we hurt other people, we hurt ourselves.  We may not be able to perceive that initially, but over time, this becomes self-evident.  You can't stub your toe without hurting your whole body. 

So when they overcharged these Elders, they hurt the Family of Man -- the Global Family, and they hurt themselves, too, though that was not the result they expected and not the short term result they experienced.

At first, they thought they had gotten away with it, and looked around eagerly for more victims, but someone always talks.  Someone asks, "Did it cost you that much?"  

And the astonishing answer comes back, "No, it was free.  I didn't pay for anything...." 

We have received several questions today about a "strongly worded" warning sent out by Global Family Bank.  They didn't get into the details of the incidents that prompted their message and why they were sending it at this time.  

But with a great many people needing these services, there is preemptive value in these early incidents of scalping and gouging.  Just because there are a million people and demand for help navigating the Global portal is high, doesn't mean you can charge whatever the market will bear.  

Remember the only two Laws: the Law of Gratitude and the Law of Love ----and act accordingly.
