Fifth Sunday After Pentecost

 Rev. Fr. Leonard Goffine's

The Church's Year

At the Introit implore God's assistance and say, with the priest:

INTROIT Hear, O Lord, my voice with which I have cried to thee: be thou my helper, forsake me not, nor do Thou despise me, O god, my Savior. (Ps. XXVI.) The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? Glory be to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

COLLECT O God, who host prepared invisible good things for those that love Thee: pour into our hearts such a sense of Thy love, that we, loving Thee in all, and above all, may obtain Thy promises, which exceed all out desire: 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 (I Peter III. 8-15.) Dearly beloved, Be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, being lovers of the brotherhood, merciful, modest, humble: not rendering evil for evil, nor railing for railing, but contrariwise, blessing: for unto this you are called; that you may inherit a blessing. For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile. Let him decline from evil, and do good: let him seek?after peace, and, pursue it: because the eyes of the Lord are upon the just, and his ears unto their. prayers: but the countenance of the Lord upon them that do evil, things. And, who is he that can, hurt you, if you: be zealous of good? But if also you suffer any thing for, justice' sake, blessed are ye. And be not afraid of their fear, and be not troubled: but sanctify the Lord Christ, in your hearts.

How can and how should we sanctify the Lord in our hearts?

By practising those virtues which Peter here recommends, and which he so exactly describes; for thereby we become true disciples of Christ, honor Him and edify others, who by our good example are led to admire Christianity, and to become His followers. Moreover, we thus render ourselves more worthy of God's grace and protection, so that if for justice' sake we are persecuted by, wicked men, we need not fear, because God is for us and will reward us with eternal happiness.

ASPIRATION O good Saviour, Jesus Christ, grant that I may make Thy virtues my own; especially Thy humility, patience, mercy, and love; grant that I may practise them diligently, that I may glorify Thee, sanctify myself, and thus become worthy of Thy protection.

Fifth Sunday After PentecostGOSPEL (Matt. V. 20-24.) At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: Except your justice abound more than that of the Scribesand Pharisees, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. You have heard that it was said to them of old: Thou shalt not kill: and whosoever shall kill, shall be in danger of the judgment. But I say to you, that whosoever is angry with his brother, shall be in danger of the judgment. And whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council. And whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. If therefore, thou bring thy gift at the altar, and there thou remember that thy brother bath anything against thee, leave there thy offering befog a the altar, and go first to be reconciled to thy brother: and then coming, thou shaft offer thy gift.

In what did the justice of the Pharisees consist?

In external works of piety, in the avoidance of such gross vices as could not be concealed, and would have brought them to shame and disgrace. But in their hearts these Pharisees cherished evil, corrupt inclinations and desires, pride, envy, avarice, and studied malice and vengeance. Jesus, therefore, called them hypocrites, whitened sepulchres, and St. John calls them a brood of vipers. True Justice consists not only in external works of piety, that is, devotional works, but especially in a pure, sincere, self?sacrificing feeling towards God and man; without this all works, however good, are only a shell without a kernel.

How are we to understand that which Christ here says of anger and abusive words?

The meaning of Christ's words are:. You have heard that murder was forbidden to your fathers in the desert, and that the murderer had to be given up to justice: but I say to you, whoever becomes angry with his neighbor, shall be in danger of divine judgment, and he who with abusive words, such as Raca, Villain, gives vent to his anger, using expressions of contempt and insult, as fool, scoundrel, profligate, wretch, is more liable to punishment. These degrees of anger are punished in different ways by God.

Is anger always sinful?

No, anger is sinful only when we wish or actually inflict some evil to the body, property, or honor of our neighbor; when we make use of such insulting and abusive words as injure his character, provoke and irritate him. If we become angry at the vices and crimes of others, when our office or the duties of our station demand that we watch over the conduct of those under our care, to punish and correct them, (as in the case of parents, teachers, and superiors) then anger is no sin. When one through pure love of God, becomes irritated at the sins and vices of his fellowmen, like King David, or if one urged to wrong, repels the tempter with indignation, this is even a holy anger. Thus St. Gregory Says; "It is to be understood that anger created by impatience is a very different thing from anger produced by a zeal for justice. The one is caused by vice, the other by virtue." He, then, who becomes angry for justice' sake, commits no sin, but his conduct is holy and praiseworthy, for even our Lord was angry at those who bought and sold in the temple, (John II. 15.) Paul at the magician Elymas, (Acts XIII. 8.) and Peter at the deceit of Ananias and Saphira. (Acts V. 3.) Anger, then, to be without sin, must proceed from true zeal for God's honor and the salvation of souls, by which we seek to prevent others from sin, and to make them better. Even in this respect, we must be careful to allow our anger no control over our reason, but to use it merely as a means of doing good, for we are often apt to take the sting of anger for holy zeal, when it is really nothing but egotism and ambition.

Why must we first be reconciled with our neighbor before bringing an offering to God, or undertaking any good work?

Because no offering or other good work can be pleasing to God, while we live in enmity, hatred, and strife with our neighbor; for by living thus we act altogether contrary to God's will. This should be remembered by all Christians, who go to confession and holy Communion, without forgiving those who have offended them, and asking pardon of those whom they have injured. These must know that instead of receiving absolution for their sins, they by an invalid confession are guilty of another sin, and eat their own judgment in holy Communion.

How should reconciliation be made with our neighbor?

With promptness, because the apostle says: Let not the sun go down upon your anger. (Eph. IV. 26.) But if the person you have offended is absent, says St. Augustine, and you cannot easily meet him, you are bound to be reconciled to him interiorly, that is, to humble yourself before God, and ask His forgiveness, making the firm resolution to be reconciled to your enemy as soon as possible. If he is accessible, go to him, and ask his forgiveness; if he has offended you, forgive him from your heart. The reconciliation should be sincere, for God sees into the heart; it should also be permanent, for if it is not lasting, it may be questioned if it was ever sincere. On account of this command of Christ to be reconciled to our enemies before bringing sacrifice, it was the custom in ancient times that the faithful gave. the kiss of peace to one another at the sacrifice of Mass, before Communion, as even to this day do the priests and deacons, by which those who are present, are admonished to love one another with holy love, and to be perfectly reconciled with their enemies, before Communion.

ASPIRATION O God, strike me not with the blindness of the Pharisees that, like them, I may seek to please man by my works, and thus be deprived of eternal reward. Banish from my heart all sinful anger, and give me a holy zeal in charity that I may be anxious only for Thy honor and for the salvation of my neighbor. Grant me also that I may offend no one, and willingly forgive those who have offended me, thus practicing true Christian justice, and become agreeable to Thee.

MEANS OF PREVENTING ANGER

The first and most effectual preventive is humility; for as among the proud there are always quarrels and contentions, (Prov. XIII. 10.) so among the humble reign peace, meekness and patience. To be humble, meek, and patient, we must frequently bring before our minds the example of Christ who did not sin, neither was guile found in His mouth, (I Peter II. 22.) yet suffered great contradictions, many persecutions, scoffs and sneers from sinners, without threatening vengeance to any one for all He suffered; He say's to us in truth: Learn of me, because I am meek and humble of heart. (Matt. XI. Z9.) A very good preventive of anger is to think over in the morning what causes will be likely to draw us into anger at any time during the day, and to arm ourselves against it by a firm resolution to bear all with patience and silence; and when afterwards anything unpleasant occurs, let us think, "What will I effect by my anger? Can I thereby make things better? Will I not even make myself ridiculous and injure my health?" (for experience as well as holy Scripture teaches, that anger shortens life.) (Eccles. XXX. 26.) Finally, the most necessary preventive of anger is fervent prayer to God for the grace of meekness and patience, for although it seems difficult and almost impossible to our nature to be patient, by the grace of God it becomes not only possible, but even easy.

INSTRUCTION ON SACRIFICE
Offer thy gift. (Matt. V. 24.)

In its wider and more universal sense sacrifice comprehends all religious actions by which a rational being; presents himself to God, to be united with Him; and in this sense prayer, praising God, a contrite heart, charity to others, every good work, and observance of God's commandments is a sacrifice. Thus the Holy Scriptures say: Offer up the sacrifice of justice and trust in the Lord. (Fs. IV. 6.) Offer to God the sacrifice of praise. (Ps. XLIX. iq..) Sacrifice to God is an afflicted spirit; a contrite and humble heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. (Ps. 1. 19.) It is a wholesome sacrifice to take heed to the commandments, and to depart from, all iniquity. (Ecclus. XXXV. 2.) "Therefore," says St. Augustine, "every good work which is united in sanctity with God, is a true sacrifice, because it refers to the end of all good, to God, by whom we can be truly happy." As often, then, as you humble yourself in prayer before the majesty of God, when you give yourself up to God, and when you make your will subject to His divine will, you bring a sacrifice to God; as often as you punish your body by continency, and your senses by mortification, you bring a sacrifice to God, because you offer them as instruments of justice; (Rom. VI. 13.) as often as you subdue the evil concupiscence of the flesh, the perverted inclinations of your soul, deny yourself any worldly pleasure for the love of God, you bring a sacrifice to God. Such sacrifices you should daily offer to God; without which all others have no value and do not please God, such as these you can make every moment, when you think, speak, and act all for the love, of God.

Strive then, Christian soul, to offer these pleasing sacrifices to God, the supreme Lord, and as you thus glorify Him, so will He one day reward you with unutterable glory.

Words of Encouragement from St. Athanasius

... to the early Christians of the 4th century who refused to accept the Arian heresy, Christians who had lost their Church buildings to the heretics, but Christians who kept the faith. In the 21st century, we are in a quite similar situation. 

St. Athanasius was a Doctor of the Church. He lived from 296 to 373 A.D.

 


St. Athanasius, 296 - 373 A.D.“May God console you! ... What saddens you ... is the fact that others have occupied the Churches by violence, while during this time you are on the outside. It is a fact that they have the premises -- but you have the apostolic faith. They can occupy our churches, but they are outside the true faith. You remain outside the places of worship, but the faith dwells within you. Let us consider: what is more important, the place or the faith? The true faith, obviously. Who has lost and who has won in this struggle -- the one who keeps the premises or the one who keeps the faith? 

“True, the premises are good when the apostolic faith is preached there; they are holy if everything takes place there in a holy way ... 

“You are the ones who are happy; you who remain within the Church by your faith, who hold firmly to the foundations of the faith which has come down to you from apostolic tradition, and if an execrable jealously has tried to shake it in a number of occasions, it has not succeeded. They are the ones who have broken away from it in the present crisis. 

“No one, ever, will prevail against your faith, beloved brothers, and we believe that God will give us our Churches back some day. 

“Thus, the more violently they try to occupy the places of worship, the more they separate themselves from the Church. They claim that they represent the Church but in reality they are the ones who are expelling themselves from it and going astray. 

“Even if Catholics faithful to tradition are reduced to a handful, they are the ones who are the true Church of Jesus Christ. (Coll. Selecta SS. Eccl. Patrum. Caillu and Guillou, Vol. 32, pp 411-412).”

International Public Notice: Stupidity -- and a Reply to Kim Cooper

 By Anna Von Reitz

Stupidity is what happens when, for whatever reason, a living person fails to engage normal powers of observation and logic and discernment.   I once knew a man who was stupid about math.  Not because he was mentally deficient or incapable, but because of his prejudice against math.  He didn't like it.  He wouldn't learn it.  Nothing would convince him otherwise.  And that was that.  Until he got a job he loved and he had to know calculus.  Then, magically, he sat down and conquered Advanced Algebra and Calculus in less than three months.  He stopped being stupid.  He engaged his brain, his powers of observation, and his ability to discern truth. 

One of our former California Assembly Members, Kim Cooper, is stupid-- and I told her so, so that is what she holds against me.  Her pride.  And she is just proving me right again.  Unfortunately, she exhibits characteristics that are common today.  Her indoctrination and the brain-washing behind it was so strong that a woman who is otherwise not mentally deficient in any way, could not comprehend basic concepts outside the framework of her basic indoctrination received as a child. Like the man who wouldn't learn math, Kim wouldn't learn history, law, or much of anything else from any perspective outside her indoctrination.  She struggled and struggled and I kept speaking in plain English until one day, I lost patience and said something like, "Well, you're being stupid....that's why you can't understand this."  She was highly offended and hurt, but she didn't understand that I wasn't insulting her basic intelligence.  I was commenting on her level of Indoctrination. 

So now she is running around trying to collect what she considers to be "facts" and then, she is interpreting those "facts" according to her skewed and crippled worldview and spewing them out to anyone who will listen, claiming all sorts of ignorant things about me and about my work, which she never understood in the first place. 

Kim claims that I had an agreement with an "older man" concerning my house.  I had no "agreement" with any older man concerning my house.  I learned that the Municipal Government's "land description" of my land had been sold at a purported tax sale five years ago just a few days prior to their phony DISTRICT COURT action against a non-existent British Crown franchise operating under the name "Anna M Riezinger - Von Reitz" and a Municipal franchise doing business as "ANNA M RIEZINGER - VON REITZ"  

Have any of you ever seen me use that name?  No, because it's not my name and I don't recognize it.  My name, officially, is Anna Maria Riezinger -- only, and I went to court to make sure that is a matter of their own public record.  My pen name is Anna von Reitz and I nailed that down separately, too. 

Anna M Riezinger-Von Reitz is a "similar name" Daniel Applegate invented and used to promote False Claims in Commerce and illegal latching (salvage under False Pretenses).  In a true Court of Law the use of a middle initial invalidates any claim or cause, simply because it is void for vagueness.  Even worse, the use of a letter (M) inserted in a name --- which is what they did -- without any period following to indicate the presence of a name beginning with "M" that has been abbreviated, which is also what they did, renders the whole thing gobbledygook.  But we are not dealing with or in a true Court of Law.  We are dealing with a private bill collection agency, a franchise corporation, calling itself a "court" ---- "UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR ANCHORAGE ALASKA" (INCORPORATED). 

Do I live in a corporation called ANCHORAGE ALASKA?  No.   Do I live in a corporation called MATANUSKA-SUSITNA BOROUGH?  No.  Do I live in a Municipality called ANCHORAGE?  No.  Do I live in a city called Anchorage?  No.  Do I live in "the State of Alaska"(Incorporated)?  No. Or any franchise of the State of Alaska, Incorporated, called "Matanuska-Susitna County (Incorporated)"? No.   Do I live in a corporation called ALASKA?  No.  Am I a Federal Employee or the Dependent of a Federal Employee?  No.  Does Uncle Sam send me a paycheck?  No.  Do I have any "Federal Income"?  No.  Do I have any foreign property held in a land trust?  No.  Do I owe any obligation to the British Crown?  No.  Do I owe any obligation to the Holy Roman Empire?  No.   Do I owe their courts any service?  No.  Do their courts have any right or reason to address me as if I owed them foreign taxes?  No.  Do their courts or franchises have any right to attach a foreign land description or title to my land?  No. Have I ever signed or otherwise obligated myself to pay for any obligations established by "The Constitution of the State of Alaska" or the "State of Alaska Constitution"?  No  -no American acting as an American ever voted on or ratified this variously named "Constitution"; it was created, voted on, and ratified by Federal Employees living in Alaska and average Americans were not allowed to vote on it at all, then or now.   Has their Sixteenth Amendment to their corporation's similarly named "constitution", "The Constitution of the United States of America (Incorporated)" ever been ratified by the States of the Union?  No.  Is Alaska a State of the Union?  Yes, since October 1st 2020, and retroactively to January 3rd 1959.  

I have never been a "citizen of the United States" and so, not being a Municipal citizen, I never voluntarily attached any Municipal land descriptions to my land and never owed any Municipal taxes, either.  And I am on the Public Records of both parent corporations and the Third Judicial District making it very clear what my name actually is, the nature of my land claims, and my status as a peaceful non-citizen Wisconsinite.  So Daniel Applegate and the "State of Alaska (Inc.) and the MATANUSKA-SUSITNA BOROUGH (INC.) all knew my correct name and how to get in contact with me, and never did; they all deliberately misaddressed me and have no excuse for it. 

Everything that Kim Cooper alleges and claims to be true about me and my land and my situation and the courts and Daniel Applegate and Hunter Aki simply aren't true.  These mental meanderings are the product of her indoctrination; she's being stupid again.  

I am continuing the fight to collapse the whole British Crown system that Mr. Applegate works for, and am holding all these "COURTS" and banks accountable.  Just as I have told everyone --- we can expend all our effort trying to put out brush fires and fighting bogus issues in their courts --- or we can go after the arsonists.  I long ago chose to go after the arsonists, even if it is my own property and reputation being targeted by these Vermin. 

Kim has announced with much fanfare that "ANNA HAS NEVER FILED ANY PAPERWORK WITH THE COURTS"----- So WHY, exactly, would I file any paperwork with THEIR courts? I purposely filed no paperwork and put in no appearance as "Anna M Riezinger -Von Reitz" or "ANNA M RIEZINGER -VON REITZ" either one.  Why would I get caught up in fighting brush fires, when I have advised everyone else to go after the arsonists instead?  Do you think I am joking?  Or that I am a hypocrite?  Of course, I haven't filed in their courts. I am not a fool.  I deny any authority to their courts. I deny any jurisdiction to their courts.  And the Burden of Proof that I ever owed them or their franchises operations as much as the sweat from my nose --- is on them, and still waiting to be demonstrated. 

I may have been victimized by criminals pretending to have authority --- private police officers (Pinkertons) impersonating American public peacekeepers, but that is no different than anyone being accosted by groups of thugs or gangs on the street.  Crips and Bloods have the same exact legal standing as State of Alaska Troopers, and the fact that the Troopers wouldn't believe me doesn't change that.  The gangs have their colors and the Troopers have their uniforms. They are both engaged in assault with deadly weapons and armed robbery, it's just that the State of Alaska Troopers acting as Municipal Government Employees are acting under "color of law" ---  the Crips and Bloods just do what they do without pretense.  

The gangs are actually more honest. 

Kim Cooper literally and repeatedly asked me the same questions and was not listening to the answers. She  kept lapsing back into her own interpretations --- and I encouraged her to not do what stupid people do with new information ---- so she got mad and made more "stupid" interpretations.  She has basically made all  these conjectures about me and about reality, based on whatever she thought was gossip-worthy and according to whatever fit into her pre-existing indoctrination.  She doesn't know what she doesn't know, and is stubborn in refusing to learn otherwise.  

That's what I call stupid --- but please note that stupidity can be caused by many things unrelated to mental deficiency.  Fear regularly renders bright people stupid.  Habitual unexamined assumptions render people stupid all the time.  Laziness can cause stupidity.  Being startled can cause stupidity.  Yes, simply being startled by an unfamiliar idea or insight can cause stupidity and often does.  We have a built in cognition error that rejects new information, so you can't trust your basic reactions.  If you don't want to be stupid, you have to "open your mind" and really grapple with new facts.  

Kim Cooper did research my family roots in America, and found out that yes, I qualify as a Daughter of the American Revolution, if I want to pay $400 and go through the drill to join -- an option I haven't chosen, though I am grateful to her for her time and effort.  

As for Kevin Annett, I criticized his work because it suddenly got very lopsided and there was no explanation why.  He started out criticizing unexplained deaths and disappearances at his own church's residential schools ---  Anglican, I think, a Protestant Church where he was a Clergyman --- and all of a sudden, he focused entirely on the Catholic Church instead.  Hello?  Is murder and abuse of children suddenly okay when Protestants do it?  I wanted an answer.  His focus made no sense to me.  If you are going after crime, go after the crime.  

What had happened was that in the interim, Kevin had discovered the source of the evil,  had discovered it was institutionalized, and had turned his attention to that. That's all Kevin Annett ever had to explain to get my support, but I was not inclined to blindly support another Protestant-Catholic fight, when both were and had been accused of the same crime(s).  I have supported him (look at the articles attached to his name) ever since he came clean about that part of it. 

More stupidity.  A Declaration is a diplomatic instrument and no, it is not directly impactful in any "District Court" or "DISTRICT COURT".  It does, however, impact nationality, when a choice of nationality is at issue and when which form of law applies is at issue and also citizenship obligations --- like paying foreign taxes --- is at issue. 

The only Americans who owe Federal Taxes, including property taxes, are Federal Employees or their direct dependents.  Just like Spaniards don't owe Irish taxes.  A Wisconsinite does not owe British Territorial taxes.  A Wisconsinite does not owe Municipal taxes levied against "citizens of the United States", either. 

Over 400 "federal" judges thus far have lost their jobs because of me; I am proud of that fact and I am coming for all of them that don't abide by and honor their service contracts, including the one that "processed" the case against my "presumed name".  So who is laughing now?   I want all the "district" courts now operating in the States of the Union returned to the District of Columbia where District Courts (and even more so, DISTRICT COURTS) belong.  

That's what I am spending my time doing, for my own sake and everyone else's.  

So that "stupid" people can finally see that, oh, it's official --- district courts don't belong in our states

Period.  At all.  

Just ask yourselves --- do these government employees work for us, or do we work for them?  If they don't work for us (they don't) who do they work for?  Answer: the Pope and the British Monarch.  So what are employees (whether they were born in America or not) of the Pope and the British Monarch doing here, swaggering around our States and telling us what to do, imposing their taxes on us, and impersonating us as if we were literally corporation franchises?  

I will tell you what they are doing.  They are committing crimes against us.  They are impersonating us and are unlawfully, illegally and immorally subjecting us to foreign laws and foreign taxes, and illegally confiscating our assets for their own benefit.  They are illegally occupying our country as mercenaries under color and pretense of law.   

So, when I tell you that Kim Cooper is stupid, just as I told her, it isn't meant as an insult.  It's meant as a comment on an ingrained mentality and unwillingness to face facts --- an indoctrination that is leading people to put up with institutionalized criminality and pretend that it is "justice". 

As for the IRS and the Internal Revenue Service, both are foreign private bill collection agencies working for the Pope (IRS) and the British Crown (Internal Revenue Service) and the only people they are supposed to be collecting from are, again, Government Workers, Federal Employees, Federal Franchise Employees.  If you don't get a check from Uncle Sam, they aren't supposed to say "Boo!" to you, and you have, demonstrably, no "federal income".  

But just like the foreign judges, they have been allowed to run rampant, too. 

Daniel Applegate, the Junior Woodchuck "Agent" from DOJ, made the presumption that "Anna M Riezinger-Von Reitz" was a Federal Employee/British Crown Franchise known as an "Individual" and that this Legal Fiction was in some way connected to me and to my assets, but, if Kim wants to grow a brain -- Mr. Applegate is either (1) no longer employed or (2) slated for removal, and he will be laughing as hard as those 400 "federal" judges.  

I know who I am, and I know that I am not a Brit, not a Papist, not a Federal Employee, not a Federal Employee's Dependent, not any fictional corporation franchise named "Anna M Riezinger-Von Reitz", and not accepting any allegation otherwise.  I am not a citizen and have no citizenship obligations.  And that includes no foreign tax obligations.  

Sooner or later, the truth always comes home, and God's Truth is coming home in this country right now.  

When I told Kim Cooper that the Sixteenth Amendment to their Corporation's "Constitution" was never ratified by the States of the Union, she just stared and blinked like I was speaking fast and fluent Portuguese.  This is what I mean by "stupid" --- the information is true, it's there, it's stated in plain English, but the person continues to stare at you with a blank expression.  They are able to understand what you just told them.  They could, if they applied themselves, look it up for themselves, and many people have done so, but those rendered stupid by cognitive dissonance react like bumpers in a pinball machine.  The information goes in and bounces right back out.  They don't control that automatic rejection reaction long enough to take in new information.  

If the States of the Union didn't ratify this "Amendment" it is self-evidently not an Amendment to any Constitution that Americans are party to or obligated to obey. 

And that turns out to be the case.  The Corporation calling itself "The United States of America" (Incorporated) published a look-alike corporate "Constitution" for another corporation calling itself "the United States of America" (Incorporated) in 1868.  They published it with no explanation or disclosure.  At the time, people looked at it and said, "What's this? We already know what the Constitutions say....."    By failing to disclose that it was a different kind of "Constitution" for a foreign corporation merely calling itself by two different similar names mirroring American unincorporated businesses, the Perpetrators committed deliberate self-interested constructive fraud -- a scheme known as "mirroring" --  in Breach of Trust and Bad Faith against their American Employers,  and that fraud remains actionable today, and diplomatic action is precisely what I have taken and am taking. 

To be specific, Scotland is responsible for "The United States of America (Incorporated)" registered in Scotland in 1868, which was the publisher of "The Constitution of the United States of America (Incorporated)" and which applied to another foreign corporation, the "United States of America (Incorporated)" that was registered in the British Territorial "State of Delaware" and in the British Commonwealth nation of Puerto Rico.    

The rest of the Americans aren't stupid.  We have merely been misinformed and denied disclosure that is and was always required to justify any claim of commercial acceptance or accommodation in trade.  As the Roman Civil Law maintains by Maxim --- "Let him who will be deceived, be deceived." -- but when fraud --- especially fraud of this duration and magnitude is discovered, all bets are off and all debts come due to the Perpetrators.  

This is why, ultimately, Daniel Applegate, a British Esquire, owes me, a Wisconsinite, his corporation, his body, his "national" trust, the entire debt of the USA, his home, his land, his labor, his "good faith service" and ironically, his protection of my "persons" (see Article IV).  

What he is doing and what Brits and Roman Municipal Corporation employees have been doing for decades, is making up a fake name similar or even identical to mine, attaching claims of indebtedness to this other name and person, and then suing me for payment and illegally confiscating my assets if I don't pay.  In the jurisdiction of the sea, this is called "illegal latching"--- because they use the phony made-up name and presumed-to-exist person -- to latch onto actual people and actual assets.  In the jurisdiction of the land this is called "illegal takings" and is strictly forbidden by our actual service contract with the Brits, The Constitution of the United States of America.  

Here's the irritating thing.  The Brits and the Holy Romans have claimed to be our caretakers and trustees without telling the American people a single word about this, and they have been busily managing everything "for" us, according to their advantage and their tastes and according to their values and beliefs --- and although we don't agree with them on virtually anything and have not ever authorized these presumptions or even been made aware of them until Karen Hudes informed us that our government was "in interregnum" so far as the rest of the world knew --- we do owe them for the "enumerated services" that go with the "enumerated powers".   

We owe them for that, and they haven't been able to collect from our States of the Union because they weren't in Session for a very, very long time.  What we owe them, however, is miniscule in comparison to what they owe us.  

The idea of debt swapping was published as a remedy for this situation -- in Federal Title XII (12) -- and is known as a "Mutual Offset Credit Exchange Exemption", but then, the Brits, true to form, failed to follow through and create a program and make it accessible to the American Public. Parliament dumped it on the United States Secretary of State, and there it sat.  As a result, there was no effective way to offset their "National Debt" (which is owed to us) via debt swaps, and no way for us to pay them directly, either, because they removed gold and silver certificates from circulation.  Failure to implement the debt swaps meant their debts to us could only increase, and taking away our means to pay any debts directly, were free will choices on their part --- in effect, they refused payment.  

This meant the accrual of a constantly increasing run-away "National Debt" owed by our Federal Subcontractors and their similarly-named corporations.  It also means that they owe an astronomical amount of "Interest" on their "National Debt".  

Here's the rub: they have been guaranteeing their National Debt --- not just the portion we legitimately owed them --- on our purloined assets and charging us for both all their debts and the interest on their debts.  Of course, they never told us a word about this cozy accommodation. 

In order to finance this, they had to keep registering more and more Americans (without telling the Americans what they were doing) as British Territorial U.S. Citizens.  When they misidentified us as British Subjects, they had an excuse for seizing upon the victim's assets, for example, putting the clueless American's land and other assets into British Land Trusts, and Roman Municipal Intellectual Assets Trusts, where they could be used as collateral for British Crown borrowing and investments.  It was, in effect, a forced and institutionalized foreign Ponzi Scheme on American soil.  The registration of more and more American babies as British Territorial "U.S. Citizens" at the bottom of the pyramid transferred more and more American assets to the British Crown and gave unlimited borrowing power to those at the top of the pyramid scheme -- the members of the U.S. Congress.   And then the Holy Romans came in for their 60% share. 

Eventually, both Federal Subcontractors got in the Act, and they created a jointly managed Double Dipping Scheme, by which both parent corporations got paid for providing the same service--- and sometimes we paid for the same service three times.  That's why there's a Department of Labor and a DEPARTMENT OF LABOR and a DOL.   

All these False Identities being attached to Americans also provided endless ability to launder money, which is what the IRS and Internal Revenue Service do by creating entire False Life Narratives for the legal fiction "persons" these Federal Subcontractors have created and named after actual Americans.  According to them, Anna Maria Riezinger was manager of a gin distillery in Barbados (that's their Legal Fiction British Subject using my actual Given Name); according to me, Anna Maria Riezinger was, at the same moment, living in Big Lake, Alaska, full time, and had nothing going on in Barbados.  

Guess which version of reality is true?   

This fraudulent ability to have multiple "persons" functioning in multiple locations  --- British Subjects, Roman Municipal subjects, even "Special Purpose Vehicles" named after Americans and functioning as franchises of the Department of Transportation --- all under the same name or a name very similar to the name of an actual American --- gave them unprecedented ability to launder money and evade their own taxes and debts, and slough their operational costs onto their American victims.  

I have never received a paycheck from Uncle Sam, yet I have paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in "Federal Income Taxes" and franchise taxes -- foreign property taxes, sales taxes, utility taxes, sin taxes on liquor, and taxes on taxes.   

Gold owed to the actual American named Anna Maria Riezinger, is transferred offshore to an account belonging to Anna Maria Riezinger, a British Subject living on a British Territorial Island like Puerto Rico or Barbados, from there, the gold gets traded for the local national currency or into Federal Reserve Notes, that are used as payola to buy off local participants in the Great Fraud.  The actual gold and silver belonging to America has been stolen and used in exactly this way by successive foreign political Administrations. 

Many people watched me cash in a Silver Bearer Bond and return it to our American Treasury, live on YouTube.  That Bearer Bond came from a box of such bonds issued against American-owned silver.  Those boxes were given away by various Administrations to individual officers in foreign governments to buy those officers off and ensure their cooperation with whatever the Bosses in this country wanted.  Those bonds, representing a claim and obligation against our silver, were never authorized by us.  

So now, the original Anna Maria Riezinger has suffered the loss of her gold, a foreign Legal Fiction named after her  has "inherited" the benefit of that gold and has converted it into local domestic currency held in an account under her name, and the local government then taxes this "income" under an income tax scheme.  

This sleight of hand has also allowed their foreign British Territorial and Municipal "courts" to misaddress the actual American named Anna Maria Riezinger as if she was the "Anna Maria Riezinger" they "accidentally-on-purpose" registered as a British Subject and U.S. Citizen.  Just "mistake" one for the other.  Like "mistaking" a U.S. Citizen called "Anna M Riezinger - Von Reitz" for Anna Maria Riezinger, a Wisconsinite.  

Substituting one person for another, especially replacing the identity of a living person with a corporation of the same name, is a crime generally known as "impersonation".  When this crime is institutionalized and used to illegally confiscate assets or secretly use assets belonging to a living man as collateral to pay foreign debt or extend foreign credit, it's a crime called "aggravated impersonation".  These are crimes that the British Crown Corporation and its franchises as well as the (Holy) Roman Municipal Corporations have been committing --  with wanton abandon for almost a century -- and not just in this country.  

Kim also claimed that anyone putting Federal Reserve Notes in the Vault program was just making a "donation" and would never see their money returned.

Well, guess what, America?  The "real skinny" is what I have been telling you for years now.  According to the same Federal Judges that Kim invokes as her God, Federal Reserve Notes have merely symbolic value, and if you stole ten trainloads of them, you could not be accused of theft.  That much is true.  And there is no intention, generally speaking, to ever return any deposited Federal Reserve Notes --- which are worthless, literally --- to anyone.  Our stated intention is to return gold-backed American money, American Federation Dollars, instead of Federal Reserve Notes.  So you are donating something that is worthless and getting more worthless by the day, in order to exchange these poker chips for actual money that is worth something ---- as it turns out, it's worth the greater part of the buying power that Americans lost between 1913 and today.  So, instead of being rooked, totally, by the Federal Reserve and the political parties that have been running this country like a casino, you stand to get back buying power lost to inflation ever since 1913.  The Vault is a mini-Hedge Fund because the value of our AFD goes up as the merely perceived "value" of the Federal Reserve Note goes down.  And that's not a Ponzi Scheme.  That's exchange rate economics. 

So once again, the idea that the Federal Reserve Note is valuable and that we would want to steal it or anything like that, is stupid. The amazing part is that anyone would want to repair your losses and give you back buying power that was slowly, deliberately, viciously extracted from you, your parents, your grandparents, and your great-grandparents. 

Faced with the enormity of the fraud and the theft and the violence that has been practiced against us all by these foreign Federal Subcontractors, it is also amazing that Americans are not tarring, feathering, and drop-kicking Liars like Daniel Applegate and his fellow members of the Bar Associations who have been hired --for a cut of the take -- to operate these phony foreign "courts" -- and to asset strip this country and its people for the benefit of the British Crown and Roman Municipal Corporations involved in this gigantic international crime practiced under color of law. 

Remain patient a little while longer, being gentle as doves and wise as serpents. The Truth is setting you free -- maybe not as fast as you'd like, but doing the job nonetheless.  

As for Kim Cooper and everyone else who thinks that I am the problem, stop being stupid.  Engage the information and your brain.  I didn't exchange your silver for paper, then purposefully siphon away the "value" of the paper for a hundred years.  I didn't move your gold offshore for "safekeeping" and then spend it.   I didn't pretend to be you, run up a bunch of debt against your credit, and leave you to pay the bill.  No, I'm afraid it was the Federal Subcontractors, including all the Esquires in the Bar Associations, that are supposed to be providing us all with "good faith service" --- who did all that.  And more.

International Public Notice: The First Problem: European Feudalism

 By Anna Von Reitz

You may think that feudalism is long gone, but no, it just switched jurisdictions. 

We shall use the British King and System as our primary example, but bear in mind that the same basic system applies to all European monarchies and Law Systems. 

We start out with the English King who morphs into the British Monarch who morphs into an Emperor --- His Imperial Majesty.  

Whether or not the common people know this, when they use the title "King Charles" they are invoking land jurisdiction, and when they call him "His Britannic Majesty" they are invoking sea jurisdiction and when they call him "His Imperial Majesty" they are invoking air jurisdiction. 

These are separate offices that are attached to separate international jurisdictions of the law as follows: 

King = land jurisdiction = crown
Monarch = sea jurisdiction = scepter
Emperor = air jurisdiction = orb

All three offices are conveyed, conferred, and created by the Pope, who, when these offices are settled on the chosen or inherited recipient, establishes an agreement (land), a contract (sea) and a covenant (air) with the new king/monarch/majesty, firmly subjugating said person(s) to the rule of the Pope and the Roman Catholic Church in its own established domains and venues. 

And this is fair and right, because?  The Church created the system and defined these offices and gave these "tokens" (crown, scepter, orb) of earthly authority to the king, monarch, emperor.  

Each jurisdiction has a public form of law and a private form of law within the European feudal system.  

Air jurisdiction has Ecclesiastical Law (public) and Canon Law (private). 

Sea jurisdiction has Admiralty Law (public) and Maritime Law (private). 

Land jurisdiction has Land Law (public) and Soil Law (called "local law" in the Roman system --- private). 

Nobody ever lays this out for you or teaches it to you as a child in school; rather, it is there in front of you to be observed -- or not.  

The Roman System from which all of this organizational scheme derives, has its own offices all culminating with and held by the Pope, who has his sacred office, his ministerial office, and until 2011, his secular office as the Roman Pontiff.  

Thus, Leo XIV rules as His Holiness, Pope _______, and until 2011, would have ruled as Roman Pontiff, too. 

Taken together these three international jurisdictions yield Land (L), Air, (A) and Water (W) = LAW.  And all of this reflects the organizational scheme that the Roman Church developed as a means to rule, patterned after the organizational scheme of Ancient Rome. 

This system is, obviously, still alive, kicking, and functioning more of less in 2026 and it is the basis of European Feudalism by which the people (serfs) pledge themselves to their liege lords (nobles) and the nobles pledge themselves to the king/monarch/emperor, and he pledges himself to the Holy Father, Pope, Pontiff from whom his crown, scepter, and orb cometh.  

Welcome to the "world" which is a false construct of men overlain on top of the "earth" which God created.  

The world is ruled by a system of statutes, codes, regulations, ordinances, mandates, canons, rules, and policies that men created and which have to be enforced on other men, while the earth is ruled under a system of Natural Laws that God created and which are self-executing. 

Beyond the earth we have the cosmos and the cosmos is ruled by Universal Law, also known as the Law of One.  

Please notice that since the nineteenth century the British Subjects known as U.S. Citizens who still live among us have been pledging themselves to our Title IV Flag, which we defined and set aside for their use when exercising delegated powers entrusted to them under The Constitution of the United States of America, which, without public disclosure, became The Constitution of the United States of America (Incorporated) in the middle of the nineteenth century.   

But that's another story and bridges to the Second Problem. 

The First Problem is a problem because it has existed since Roman times in Europe and has been promoted and enforced as a sort of "world government" wherever the Roman Church and the European Monarchies have gone.  This system, so entrenched as to become silent and almost invisible, is evil because: (1) it is misapplied; and (2) non-consensual throughout most of the world, including but not limited to America; and (3) it can be manipulated to unjustly enrich and empower arbitrary "governments" that should actually (and only) apply to Church members/officers and those nations (populations) that voluntarily and knowingly subscribe to them. 

As an example, generations of American schoolchildren have been more or less forced to "take" the Pledge of Allegiance with no idea whatsoever that this is a feudal act subjecting oneself to the British Empire and to a version of our own flag, the Title IV Flag, that we entrusted to the Brits to use when exercising "powers" delegated to them by treaty and explicitly implemented under their service contract known as The Constitution of the United States of America.  

We note that those enumerated powers and the duties associated with them never included indoctrinating our children into the European Feudal System and did not include teaching our American children to pledge themselves to the British Crown Corporation, whether or not it has a right --- under certain circumstances --- to fly a version of our own flag stipulated under Federal Title IV.  

We also note that in Britain, what Americans consider "private schools" are called "public schools" --- an oddity that can be readily explained when you understand that the British Federal Subcontractors have taken over our American Public Schools and run them as British-affiliated what-we-would-call Private Schools, and that this usurpation has been silently accomplished since the middle of the nineteenth century and applied to every educational program from pre-school to university. 

All this has been done without the American People being made aware of it.  Millions of American babies have been misidentified and incorrectly registered as British Territorial Subjects known as U.S. Citizens, and later forced to recite the Pledge of Allegiance to further solidify British Government and particularly, British Crown Corporation claims, to own these same childrens' Given Names as copyrighted chattel property without the knowing consent of the American parents or the children themselves.  

Placing a purloined commercial copyright on the Given Name of a living man and then licensing him to act as an "Authorized Representative" of his own name and identity --- completely without his knowledge or consent, and thereby subjecting him to a foreign power and foreign citizenship obligations, is a conspiracy against The Constitution of the United States of America and its good faith service obligations, and specifically, Article IV, which requires the same British Crown Officers who are perpetuating this aggravated identity theft to protect the same American "persons" they are preying upon. 

This unconscionable and undisclosed unlawful conversion of American state nationals and their misidentification as British Territorial U.S. Citizens has served to deprive these Americans of protections and guarantees owed to them by these same ruffians and has resulted in aggravated identity theft, human trafficking, and unauthorized unlawful conveyance.

In this way, repugnant commercial claims against the bodies and identities and physical and credit assets of millions of Americans have been secretly created and advanced by the British Crown Corporation and its franchises doing business in our country under deceptive names, such as "the State of Texas (Incorporated)" -- all in breach of trust, all in violation of the "good faith service" obligations of their treaties and constitutional service contracts with us ---- and generally in violation of international law and conventions forbidding identity theft, unlawful conversion, human trafficking, securitization of living flesh, and both peonage and enslavement.  

The Pope and the Roman Curia, which are responsible for creating all these corporations including Roman Municipal Corporations and the British Crown Corporation in particular, have been enjoying a 60/40 split and majority shareholder interest in all these secretly created and purloined "American franchises" and have turned a deaf ear and blind eye to these criminal activities in breach of trust and constitutional service contracts.  

Pope Francis did the arguably correct thing and liquidated the UNITED STATES (INC.) under Chapter Seven, Involuntary Bankruptcy.  We now call upon Pope Leo XIV to dissolve the offending British Crown Corporation and its franchises, and ask for the return of all American assets to the care of the  American People ---our State Citizens who are Party to the original Federal Constitutions -- and our Lawful American Government standing on the land and soil of this country. 

We ask Pope Leo XIV and the Roman Curia to do their duty under Ecclesiastical and International Law generally, and call upon them to protect the living people and Lawful Persons that have been grossly presumed upon and abused and trafficked by  British Crown Corporation Officers acting in gross breach of trust, bad faith, and violation of their service contracts --- all in pursuit of unjust enrichment and coercive power extracted from their American employers using unconscionable citizenship contracts, similar names deceits and mirrored corporations used to replace American unincorporated businesses and institutions with British Crown Corporation and Roman Municipal Corporation franchises. 

We further ask that the men and offices responsible for perpetuating and administering these criminal enterprises on our shores be peaceably withdrawn from our country and denied any authorization to create corporations of any kind from now on.  The ability to form a corporation is a privilege, not a right, and these individuals, corporations, and associated institutions have demonstrated their lack of character, criminality, and evil intent toward humanity.    

The long standing nature of their crimes and presumptions and constructive fraud schemes do not provide a defense.  

We are not deceived and not at war.  

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