International Public Notice: Belief in Money

 By Anna Von Reitz

Belief in money (or credit) is precisely the same animal as religious belief, only more so, because belief in money is completely pre-conditioned and left unexamined during an average person's lifespan. 

This is an international problem and it has persisted for thousands of years with evil consequences throughout the lifetime of this odd religious cult, which we find rooted in Babylon as a form of idolatry, at least 8,000 years ago. 

While we might endlessly question and debate the Bible, the Koran, or the Vedas and spend entire lifetimes passionately disagreeing about this or that interpretation of scripture, detailing why we believe this and not that ---- belief in money remains totally subconscious for the vast majority of the world's population.  

This belief is never thought of, much less discussed, critiqued, or overturned.  

Take notice that this particular belief is a dire problem that has led directly and indirectly to the death and mutilation and crippling of millions of innocent people, to peonage and enslavement, the pollution of our planet, and perpetual war profiteering.  This unseen "religion" has undermined all other governments and religions.  

People are so indoctrinated and have undergone such rigorous behavioral programming and conditioning to accept money and to believe in money, that nobody even glances sideways at their underlying belief in money, much less do we consciously analyze the details or the basis for the belief.  

It's hard to evaluate a belief if you don't know you have one, but, yes, everyone on this planet, from the most remote village in the rainforest to an airfield tarmac in Japan to the wheat fields of South Dakota to Burma and back again, everyone has been deeply and unconsciously indoctrinated to believe in money. 

Why?  Because a deeply ingrained subconscious and unexamined belief becomes akin to instinct and when people can no longer perceive that such a belief exists, much less question it, they become slaves to it.  

Commerce, abuse, and enslavement go hand-in-hand, so much so, that one does not appear to exist without the others.  The belief in money renders people vulnerable to coercion, control, abuse, and enslavement every time that money is introduced and left in the control of a few people, who are, unavoidably, the modern practitioners of this ancient and unexamined and idolatrous religion. 

Whatever money you have in your pockets, take it out and really look at it.  

In the case of the Federal Reserve Note you will find what the Bible calls a "graven image" completely covered in occult symbolism, from the little owl hidden in the border filigree of the one dollar bill to the pyramid (scheme) icon and the all-seeing eye and the portraits of dead people.  Other currencies may not be so blatant but they have their telltale signs of occult practice and beliefs, too. 

Money is an 8,000 year-old Substitution Scheme, and it may go back a lot longer than that. 

It started out with substituting a little gold coin for a bushel of wheat of equal value. 

Seemed fair enough at the time. 

It has ended up with pieces of paper, silver delivery contracts, being substituted for billions of ounces of physical silver. 

It has ended up with generations of people all over the world being ripped off and enslaved.  

Maybe that's why God said, "Make no graven images". 

The fundamental problem is not the pieces of paper or the coins; the problem is the belief in money itself.  It's the religion of Mammon, unseen and unknown, corrosively undermining all other religions, all other governments. 

Once you start substituting one thing for another, the entire world and everything in it, including the lives and bodies of living people, become "negotiable".  

We are misled into the logical error of thinking that one thing can be substituted for another---- when, objectively, it is already known that this isn't possible. 

We just learned, again, that silver delivery contracts are NOT equivalent to ounces of silver metal.  

In the same way, other pieces of paper called EUROS and Federal Reserve Notes and French Francs and German Deutsche Marks, are not equivalent to dried apricots, gallons of milk or steaks or dog food.  

The illusion that paper of any kind is equivalent to a physical asset, is the greatest scam in history, and even the proposition that one physical asset can be equal to another, is deeply questionable. 

Can strawberries be made equivalent to beef steak?  Is a pound of cheese equivalent to a hacksaw blade?  Or a silver coin? 

As a matter of sober consideration, no.  None of these exchanges are naturally equivalent. 

Not only that, if you are allergic to strawberries they have no value at all; if you cannot eat beef steak because your religion forbids it, the same devaluation occurs. When you cross the barrier of kinds, equivalencing a dairy food to a metal tool or coin is even more tenuous.  

If we step back far enough, we can see that we are dealing with the remnants of the infancy of mankind, an intellectual artifact of a time when fact and fantasy could blend and we could play games of "Pretend" and earnestly believe in them.  

The existence and use of money in modern times is a child's game gone horribly awry, a reminder of how many times we have struggled over this same lesson.

We like to think that prices are determined by an impersonal thing called "the market" with the judgements of value reflected by the prices people will willingly pay or what they will trade for something in a free market, but for over a hundred years nothing approaching a free market has existed.  

Central banks have had licenses to rig the prices and supplies of everything from shoelaces to cannonballs and Federal Reserve Notes for over a hundred years.  The unerring and unbiased judgement of the free market has been replaced by the judgement of bureaucrats, their masters, and their cronies.

Now nobody knows what anything is worth in an open market, and the perpetrators of this system certainly don't want to open the gates and find out.  

If we didn't believe in money, there would be no game, no scorecard,  no need to earn everything twice -- once when we produce the commodity or the service, and again when we earn the money to pay for it.  

Even if we, during the transition back to adulthood and sanity, have to use a system of asset-backed money to limp trade along while we retrain our brains, we cannot afford to forget the final goal, which is to stop believing in the Phantom Middleman, stop paying foreign idol-makers to supply money to us--- like so many addicts standing in line for our government dispensary fix. 

We have to give up our belief in money and stop being seduced by this ancient unseen religion, for once we see it for what it is, we know it is an ugly, even ridiculous con game.  We know it's arbitrary. We know it isn't real. And we know it's rigged against humanity.  

The creative challenge for the whole world is simply this: how do we do away with money and belief in money, before it does away with us?  And our world? 

Sitting in a corner with our hands clapped over our ears isn't going to fix this logic-interrupt loop.   

Simply realizing that we've suffered a form of behavioral modification and brain-washing to induce a false belief -- a true mass delusion -- doesn't immediately help.  We become aware that we are being ripped off, but as a world economy, remain just as stymied and enslaved, temporarily unable to function without agreed-upon symbols of value to trade. 

Central Bank Digital Currencies were never any answer; that was simply handing more coercive control over to the culprits and hoping for a good outcome. 

Bitcoin, Ethereum, XLP --- more fantasy based on more abstraction and control of a brand name.  

There isn't enough gold or silver in the world to meet the transactional needs of 8 billion people, but that's no reason to kill them all. 

Issuing debt notes "backed by gold" is the very definition of insane. 

And we still need a way to turn cabbages into cell phones.

The people of this Earth are owed a vast amount of prepaid credit, hundreds of times more than any debt that any portion of the population owed. 

That prepaid credit was paid in actual goods and services.  And it's owed. 

Gold and silver and land and other physical assets, and intellectual assets, such as our Given Names which were seized upon and copyrighted as property of the British Crown Corporation without our knowledge or consent, all belong to the living people of this planet. 

We say it's time for us to erase all debts, public and private.  We say it is time for all the estates of mankind to be returned unharmed and for each man and woman to have their little kingdom safe and secure from the debts and obligations of corporations. 

It's time for families and communities and states and countries and regions to have the peace that is naturally theirs and the enjoyment of the abundance that is naturally theirs, too.  

Each and every one of us, wherever we may be upon the Earth.  

These resources of prepaid credit distributed worldwide combined with the return of our gold and silver currencies, is more than enough to meet the transactional needs of everyone in every country, and can be used to buoy us all over in one piece.  

It's enough to buy mankind the time needed to outgrow the belief in money and outgrow the belief in scarcity, which to be fair, were both beliefs that were planted in our minds and induced by constructed circumstances calculated to cause us suffering. 

These contrived false beliefs, like later narratives, have been used to manipulate us to our detriment.

We say that we are done with all that.  The days when we could be misled and abused like little children are gone, and the days when those who did these crimes are brought to justice are here and now.

Granna Bytes: Clarity About California Team

 By Anna Von Reitz

When I "fired" the new Co-Coordinators for continuing to dredge up past issues, that was not a condemnation of them as people. It was a recognition that, as a group, the past still had a hold and it was being dragged into the present and the future.

I meant no disrespect to any individual.  It's not like they committed any crime. I left the door open to come forward and say, "I didn't mean it that way." or "I didn't make those accusations." or ---whatever was true. Maybe the truth was simply, "I wasn't thinking of it in terms of the past. I was trying to solve a current problem." 

At least two of those who were impacted by this decision thought about it and did exactly that --- came forward and explained what they were grappling with and what they were trying to do.  And then I could understand and sympathize.  

Then I could suggest paths forward, open doors, and smooth away the ruffled feathers, show them what I was dealing with, and what I needed from them.  

David Hara simply explained his life situation and desire to concentrate on recording secretary duties.  He wasn't removed from being a Coordinator, if he had desired to continue.  

Laura Jordan came forward and explained her intentions and what she was trying to do, and we discussed it all.  The group had a worthy goal.  It was the way they approached it that went sideways.

And that is often the way things go. Just a little fine-tuning, a little adjustment in the way things are thought of or presented, can make all the difference in the world.  Laura is welcome to come back any time she wants to. 

Communication broke down because the Co-Coordinator Team was trying to do it all themselves with no help, trying to relieve my burdens by not asking questions or discussing the problems they were encountering. 

As it turns out, they were struggling over some terrain that the Federation had already cleared, not knowing the whole story because they didn't talk to me or other Federation Officers who could have and would have helped.  

There's a fine line between "not bothering us" and sensing when you don't really know the answer, and maybe need to talk to us. 

Nobody has done this for 160 years. 

Even the Federation -- people who have researched and dug and asked questions for decades --- often get stumped and have to dig some more.  

There's no shame in asking questions.  That's why there's a Summoning Authority -- to stand behind and assist the State Assemblies as they assemble, to guide them in the process, to encourage them to take right action on their own behalf, in accord with the customs and traditions of the American people and our Lawful Government. 

The former Co-Coordinators are not in any disgrace, not kicked out. The door is still open and the path is free to walk.  

The lesson is that there are right ways and wrong ways to do everything, and yes, it's appropriate to ask.  I regularly ask questions ---which is how I wound up in this situation, so be forewarned. 

This is also why I don't mind taking the time to answer questions for the Assemblies.  Even if I don't know the answer, I have access to the deep knowledge of other researchers.  

This is why Coordinators are in the field -- to act as liaisons between those who are building their State Assemblies and the Federation Think Tanks that have or can get answers the Assemblies need as they build their internal structures and come to grips with their duties and rights as the foundational components of the American Government. 

If your Coordinator isn't regularly in contact with the Federation and asking questions and returning with answers, they should be. That's their job.  There are those who persist in the error of thinking of the Federation in the same way that they think of the Federal Government.  It's important that nobody continues with that mistake. 

The Federation is not any part of the Federal Government.  

The Federation pre-dates the Federal Government and stands above the Federal Government --- in Law, in Truth, in Fact. 

And even if the present British-led imposters try to obscure this, it remains the truth. 

Our Federation Officers are Americans owing no loyalty to Britain. They are American State Nationals like everyone else. They belong to the Assembly in their home State where they live like everyone else. 

Our Federation Officers have every right, every duty, every responsibility of any other American and can serve in any capacity that any other ASN can serve -- with one (1) exception.  They can't serve on their State's International Business Assembly. 

Other than that, we are rank and filers like everyone else.

International Public Notice: Gaia is Mars

 By Anna Von Reitz

We live on a landscape left behind by cosmic warfare, the "War in the Heavens", and its aftermath.  That aftermath includes the destruction of Mars as a life-supporting planet, the tilting of Earth on its lop-sided axis, the sudden disappearance of islands and parts of continents, ice ages, and more.  

When people talk about "Gaia" and about "restoring Gaia" many people assume that we are talking about Earth, but no, we are talking about the restoration of Mars. 

Gaia is the name of Mars. 

Terra, sometimes spelled as "Tara" is the name of the Earth. 

In a world that is already terribly confused, we don't need to add to the chaos.  

Restoration of Gaia has become possible as a result of advances in AI, energy collection, and robotics. For some on this planet, including Elon Musk, this has been a cherished dream because of direct ties to Mars.  For others, it has been seen as a open door to an alternative environment for an over-crowded Earth. 

What happened to Mars?  It's atmosphere was blown away by the solar wind as vast plasma fields converged upon it --- and what was once a beautiful planet became the dry husk seen today. 

The Earth needs recalibration, which is a different kind of restoration.  Earth's restoration involves unblocking certain "energy dams" called "seals" that have been artificially inserted and used to manipulate the natural flow of energy on the planet, cleaning up vast pollution of the biosphere, and other adjustments.  

Many are aware of this work and took part in clearing two of these seals, which restored the natural flow of energy to Africa.  

Though most Africans will never know the goodwill that prompted this effort, you can see the effects in the advancement of the African Union and their ability to recognize and throw off the chains of the Corporate Colonialists.  

There were always those who saw the chains but few who tried to do anything about it.  Now that the energy is restored, Africa will easily rise above the Colonialist threats and the local corruption that have bound generations of Africans to a form of commercial enslavement. 

One day soon, we will wake up to the happy realization that Colonialism has finally ended, not only in Africa, but throughout the world.

Granna Bytes: About Homelessness

 By Anna Von Reitz

I have the deepest empathy for all those who are struggling over housing issues.  This shameful state of affairs is totally unnecessary and is the result of gross breach of trust and misadministration .  We are moving as quickly as possible to correct it by ousting the District Courts and by forcing them to review their decisions and exonerate those taken against Americans.  Believe me, I am putting the hammer down on the rats so hard that they can barely squeak.  Their abuse of the court system, their failure to provide remedy (and therefore the illegality of the Federal Reserve Note), and their trespass on our States of the Union is being rammed down their throats on a daily basis.  

Their breach of trust and service contracts is the topic that won't go away, and the Due Process that was served on them for seven (7) years won't go away, either. 

Our approach at the Federation level is to ignore the brush fires in favor of catching the arsonists ----and putting them in jail or deporting them outside our borders.  This solves the basic problem at the source, and will then allow us to attend to the individual situations. 

At the present time, using the data and statistics available, the homeless population is largely composed of the elderly, young families, and "unemployables" who are disabled in some way.  The split is uneven and varies from state to state, but remains consistent overall.  

What can we do for the homeless right now?  We can open our hearts and really look at them and really see them.  That's the hard part.  Look into their faces, stop to talk, try to figure out who they are and where they rightly belong.  Then do what we can to get them there.  

Jim and I once converted an old log outbuilding on our property into a make-shift home for homeless men.  Jim went out on the streets and talked to them, and those he deemed safe, he brought home. They had to cut their own wood, shovel their own snow, keep their own outhouse clean, do their own laundry, haul their own water, and cook their own food.  I typed up their resumes if they had skills for those kinds of jobs, and they were all welcome to pursue any day work they could find.  I scouted the Goodwill and Salvation Army stores for clothes for them and furniture for their needs. There was no electricity in their shelter, but they had books and board games and hobby supplies.  Our 16" x 40" shed had an average of three men, sometimes up to five or six all living peaceably together, surviving the winter.  We gave them basic food -- ham hocks, onions, root vegetables, beans, rice, flour, coffee, lard.... the basics of life, a bed to sleep on, chairs to sit on.  Come winter, they had a "freezer" in the form of an insulated fish locker.  

The hardest cases were men too old to work hard, who had no family.  They made friends and tried their best to help and guide the younger men.  

All that came to an end in 1996 when the Miller's Reach Fire devastated our whole community and burned down our house and the shelter building, both.  

Our success at running a make-shift, unofficial shelter for homeless men depended on Jim's unerring ability to discern those who could fit into the social setting we had to offer. 

In case there was any doubt, we are most cruel to homeless men in this society; women can usually find somewhere to stay and get preference, especially if they have children. I guess men are supposed to freeze at lower temperatures than women.  Whatever reason it is, men take the worst of the homeless blight. 

"Taking in strays" as our disdainful neighbor called it, isn't for everyone.  Jim was still a mighty man in middle age so there were no bunkhouse fights or problems of that kind, but it was most likely because Jim was formidable in his own quiet way, and because he knew men.  He could sort the addictions and the hard luck stories and discern the truth.  He knew when someone would fit into our place and who wouldn't. 

I think about all those men "just passing through" our lives, some for a week, some for a month, some for a winter.  I know what happened, ultimately, to a few of them -- but most just went on down the road.  The one thing they had in common is that they had shelter from the cold and a lifeline through the winter.  

We often wondered how all the churches in the area stood there all warm and bright, and largely empty all the time, and never appeared to think that the homeless clustered helplessly nearby, freezing and starving, might be their brothers, or even their Lord -- that they might be honor-bound to do something practical to help.  To at least try.  The attitude of the snooty neighbors just echoed the institutional failures.  Good people, they believed, don't end up on the street.  

Our experience contradicts that self-satisfied excuse.  Good people wind up on the street every single hour of every single day, and it's not their fault that they do.  

An effective effort begins with having the courage and taking the time simply to talk to the homeless as people.  Find out who they are.  And then having the street smarts to evaluate what they tell you.  Are they mentally ill? Veterans suffering from untreated PTSD? Workmen who hit a stretch of bad luck?  Abused wives with nowhere to flee?  Orphaned or abandoned teenagers chucked out of State programs at the age of 18?  Chronic alcoholics?  Drug addicts?  Criminals working a beat?  Immigrants who don't know the language or culture?  

Someone has to ask the questions.  Who are they?  How did they get into this situation?  What do they need, right now, today, and what do they need to make their way forward? 

Somehow, despite over two billion Christians, Jews, and Muslims who have all been taught better,  the homeless and the orphans continue to suffer and die.  

Nobody is honest. Nobody admits that the condition of the homeless scares the wealthy and the complacent.   Yes, it frightens them.  They recoil and glance swiftly away.  Or keep their head turned avoiding eye contact altogether.  They don't want to ask the questions.  They don't want to know the answers.  They just want to get away and keep endlessly working, so that they don't end up the same way.  

Sometimes, in a misguided attempt to help, people wind up creating something worse.  Here's an example of it -- the so-called "orphan trains" that saved children from one bad situation, just to land them in something arguably worse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0eYVPgLVdg&list=PLNPtrE3klhpBBw0uuszXzrQb-PVx6QBHv

If you can take a moment to go beyond being "entertained" and listen to a woman's experience of being an orphan at the mercy of the Childrens' Aid Society, it may change your life. It may bring you into a whole new realization of the ways that the homeless have been exploited, and how commercialism, abuse, and enslavement go hand in hand, and always have. 

But before you run off to do your homework and watch this video, I want to say something crucial.  

The woman who shared her life story in this video was wrong about something.  She thought that she "lost" something, in her case, the ability to connect and to feel, and she believed that she couldn't get it back.  She believed that she was just "broken" and could never be mended. 

That belief became the truth for her.  It was a self-fulfilling prophecy.   Others defined her as a thing, a worker, a tool, a slave.   That was the only definition she knew.  The only way she was taught to react.  She most likely lived out her life never realizing that she could redefine herself, could be her own parent, could live for some other purpose than work, work, work. Most likely, even her own children, never stopped and asked the questions.  Never took the mending or the potato peeler out of her hands.  Never sat her down and played a song for her and certainly, never taught her to dance. 

Everyday, I have to deal with the brokenness of the world,  with broken children, and broken adults.  They come to me in droves.  They cry on my shoulder.  They tell me things that they can barely admit to themselves on a dark day in the bathroom, alone.  And it always comes as such relief to them, to simply tell the truth, whatever the truth is.  To have someone listen. 

To have someone be truly present for them.  

No matter how you cut it, it all begins and ends with communication.  The answers, and the healing, begin with communication. And courage. Always, solutions take courage. 

Sometimes the most fierce battles are the ones you have within yourself, when you are tired, when you are fed up, when you feel like you've got nothing left to give, when the weight of your own problems seems to be just about more than enough and your pocketbook is slim.  

It happens when you walk by that Salvation Army volunteer, because you are embarrassed by poverty and faith.  It happens when you turn aside from the young beggar in the parking lot, asking for gas money when he doesn't have a car.  It happens when you think that you don't have anything in common with a black man in his forties or a Muslim mother from Sudan. 

One day, the moment comes, when all the riches in the world mean less than nothing at all.  All the pride falls away.  You are left looking back at your life, and what you did, or failed to do with it.  You suddenly see yourself as your own Observer, realizing what a gift and resource you were given, and also, realizing how you wasted it, spent it chasing things that didn't matter, and failed to do what you were called to do, and what you could have done. 

Don't let that moment find you, when you have nothing left to say.

Granna Bytes: My Request of All of You -- Assembly Instructions

 By Anna Von Reitz

Several Assemblies have been operating as oligarchies and that is not the form of government that the American Government adopted many years ago.  Let's review: 

1. We are not a democracy (mob rule) where a 51% majority rules and individual rights are discounted.  

2. We are not an oligarchy where a small group of leaders has power and dictates to the group. 

3.  We are a republican form of government where the rights of the individuals are supreme, where respect and mutual support are paramount, and where the primary work of government gets accomplished via committees.  

If your Assembly is being organized as an oligarchy, report it.  We don't play "in crowds" and cronies in the American Government. 

The General Assembly is the primary body of the Assembly. 

The Jural Assembly, the Militia, and the International Business Assembly are subsets of the General Assembly.   Any idea that a Jural Assembly or Militia or International Business Assembly or any Committee can bypass the General Assembly needs to be overturned right now.  

Your arm is subject to your body, and so is your big toe.  Learn to work together cooperatively and respectfully, or go home, soak your head, and stand down.  

Everyone has the equal right to speak at meetings.  That means EVERYONE.  Whether you personally like what they have to say or not is not the issue.  Their right to be heard trumps your right to be offended. 

Any "unequal" use of the mute button to silence people you don't like or opinions you don't agree with is strictly forbidden by our customs and traditions.  

The only reasons to mute people are: (1) drunk and disorderly; (2) swearing and name-calling; (3) refusing to get on topic; (4) refusing to yield once their time is up.

If I get any more complaints about people being arbitrarily or capriciously muted or otherwise sidelined for holding different opinions, there will be consequences.  

All Assemblies operate by and through Committees, so you need to assemble your committees ASAP.   Assembly Committees are usually ad hoc affairs; the Coordinator or Speaker announces the formation of a Committee for a specific purpose, such as "New Member Outreach", and takes volunteers, then the volunteers meet separately and choose a Committee Chairman from among their members.  

Committees meet where and whenever is convenient to them.  It can be before or after General Assembly meetings or on different days and at different times convenient to the members of the committee.  

New committee members are added as more people volunteer or show interest in that committee's work.  

Any attempt to block members from working on committees or allowing "committee cliques" to develop is prohibited.  Anyone can volunteer to work on any committee they want to join.  

The Committees bring the results of their work back to the General Assembly on a regular basis, share what the Committee has learned, or done, or is in the process of doing, so as to invite more awareness and participation.   

In addition to the Coordinator Team, which is open to new volunteers to help with the workload and provide better service across the State, there are State Recorders and there should be a State Assembly Secretary Pro Tem chosen by a floor vote of the General Assembly at this time. 

The State Assembly Secretary keeps the records for the Assembly. 

Those records include the (1) minutes and/or video of the General Assembly Meetings, and (2) one black and white copy of the declaration and witness statements and any other records (baby records, etc.) that establish the member's identity and claim of birthright status; (3) a second black and white copy of the foundation records can be retained pending the opening up of County Assemblies when the second "county copy" can be turned over to the County Assembly Secretary, (4) records of any licenses, business contracts, or similar business-related affairs involving the assembly. 

There is no need for and no known precedent for creating or retaining four hard copies of anyone's records for any additional purpose, and  I would limit the liability to the two copies mentioned above and concentrate your efforts on: (1) finding a safe agreed upon place for the Assembly Secretary Pro Tem to keep these hard copy records; (2) creating a jpeg copy of these black and white records that can be updated regularly and maintained securely by the State Assembly Secretary and the Marshal at Arms and when you elect one, the State Assembly Chairman/woman.  

Thus you have two paper copies -- one for County, one for State, and jpegs of all the records distributed to three officers.  Now use your own heads to keep these records updated and safe.  It's not rocket science and it does not require an Act of God to assign these duties to responsible adult members of the group.  

Regarding the officers --- each assembly has two official positions attached to it that are Federation (not "Federal") Officers: the Coordinators and the Marshals at Arms.  Their jobs are (1) Coordinators are there to help you all get yourselves organized, hold elections, form committees, hold regular meetings, etc. and (2) Marshals are there for your safety and to provide a State level link to the PKTF and other services. 

There are other Federation (not "Federal") Officers that your Assembly may more occasionally have dealings with.  None of these people are associated with the present Federal Government and there should be no taint or suspicion or any other garbage attached to them or presumed about their activities.  

They are: (1) Continental Marshals charged with preserving the peace and enforcing international land law; (2) PKTF personnel who are charged with networking emergency services, communications, and forward planning for everyone; (3) Military and Militia liaisons who specialize in answering questions you may have about these functions; (4) County Assembly Organizers who fulfill the Coordinator functions at the County level and help get the County Assemblies set up properly.  

None of these people are associated with the existing Federal Government nor the corporations operating as the Federal Government and I repeat --- they are all State Nationals, they are all vetted, and they all have jobs to do.  

They have every right to step up and participate in the State Assembly where they live and are just like everyone else with no special powers or authorities over any other State Assembly member within the context of State Assembly functions. 

Remind them if they need to be reminded. 

Assemblies can recommend people to fill these Federation positions but can't "elect" them per se.  They are volunteers and they step forward.  We vet them, check their criminal records, etc. and make a determination of eligibility.  If they are eligible and willing, we train them or test them, and they get assigned. 

Everyone has been indoctrinated into a hierarchical authority structure and it takes time to learn and teach yourself to let go of those behaviors and assumptions of authority based on ranks and positions. 

Instead, we are just here doing a job for the good of all, within the limits and context of the work to be performed.   

Our assemblies have been racked by personality conflicts, petty power-mongering, suspicions, and gossip.  Be aware that you are undermining your own efforts from within when you do this and when you allow individuals to indulge in these behaviors unopposed.  

Shun gossip and let the gossipers know that isn't something we do in our Assemblies.  

It is not appropriate to apply the term "district" to anyone or anything that stands apart from the actual existing district government structure. 

Likewise, the term "insurrectionist" should never, ever be applied to any American who has declared their birthright status, and who simply opposes your view or your actions or those of the State Assembly. 

Insurrection is a specific and serious crime involving other crimes like looting and armed rebellion.  Be careful of your words and be aware that they have meaning and a life of their own.  

We are all allowed to express and hold our own opinion and to pursue what seems to us the best course of action in whatever lawful and reasonable way is possible.  Unanimous consensus is very rarely required, while censorship and name-calling are never appropriate. 

There have also been petty attempts to use "lawfare" techniques to punish people considered to be rivals or who simply hold a different opinion ----and that will not be allowed.  We are here to put an end to the abuse of the law for political purposes. 

You cannot "bring charges" against anyone for anything but injury to person or property.  We don't have 80 million statutes and crimes attached to each one of them.  No thought crimes.  

Vetting Committees, Oversight Committees and Ombudsman Committees are the most likely places to find abuses of power and I remind everyone that the job of the Vetting Committee is simply to determine basic eligibility for office, which is simply stated in terms of -- (1) are they State Nationals in good standing? (2) do they meet any age requirements of the office? (3) do they have any criminal records that would connect to the office they are seeking? (4) are they physically and mentally able to perform the duties? 

We have a case boiling up in one of the Assemblies because a candidate for State Justice doesn't have a background in American Common Law.  

At this point, hardly anyone has a background in American Common Law.  It has to be learned on the job using books and references and doing the best you can with it. 

It takes two years to retrain a Bar Attorney so that they aren't constantly falling back into "Equity" Law and only a year on average to bring someone totally new up to speed, so be fully aware that having experience in other forms of law is not a help and is more likely to be a hindrance to proper functioning of your new court system. 

Look for someone who is honest and fair-minded and diligent and willing to work and read.  There is your best hope for a competent State Justice. 

The American Common Law system is not here to micro-manage anyone's life.  So long as you don't do any harm to someone specifically, or to their property, there is no Cause of Action.  

We don't entertain thought crimes or political correctness issues. 

You can disagree with someone's vote, but their vote is theirs; it's not your business and if you attempt to use lawfare to censure them, you will be brought up by the proverbials and corrected. 

The Subset Assemblies --- the Jural Assembly, the Militia and the International Business Assembly --- are all part of and subservient to the General Assembly.  

They should be conducting their specialized business via committees and reporting regularly to the General Assembly, not trying to create their own little hegemony off in the corner. 

Lastly, a question has come up in an instance where a person actually left one State, moved physically to another State, and yet continues to function as a State Assembly member and officer of the State Assembly he left behind. 

This is not possible. 

It's understood that many people have reasons for moving to take care of sick or elderly family members, to pursue advanced training, etc., etc., all the while intending to return home to what they consider their home State.   

The fact remains that when you have lived in another State for a year and a day, you become eligible to join and support that State Assembly, and you need to do so.  

There is no provision for Absentee State Assembly officers.  Once you decide to leave, you arrange to turn over your keys and records, etc., and you may or may not recommend someone to fill your vacated position, and that's it.   

You can't live in one State and continue to participate in the political process and administration of another State at the State level.  

People get confused about that because they observe Federation officers doing business in multiple States.  That's because the Federation has duties and jurisdictions involving all fifty States.  

State Offices, however, are  fixed within the boundaries of one particular State, just as the powers of County Offices are fixed within the boundaries of one specific County. 

These are all, in the main, topics that I have discussed with Assemblies all over this country before and it appalls me that I have to keep coming back to these basics again and again. We have to get along with each other, keep faith with each other, forgive each other and keep moving for our own sakes and everyone else's. 

With all the very serious issues facing our country and our Assemblies, we need to pay attention to what is important and real, keep focused on solving problems and supporting each other in times of trouble, because these are profoundly troubled times. 

Keep focused on what's fair and good and right and true.  Turn away from the media circus and the bank fallout and all the "drama" that threatens to engulf Washington, DC and similar capitals around the world.  

The good news for you and other Americans is that you are safe. You won't be left without what you need and through you, your extended family and communities will be enabled to survive and thrive.  

My request to all of you is that you ground yourselves in the customs and traditions of your forefathers and turn away from all fear, selfishness, small-mindedness, prejudice, ego, and greed. We have a job to do and a worthy calling.  We don't have time or energy to waste on trivia and pride. 

If we fail to pass this one remaining great obstacle, we will fail altogether, and the challenge is simply this: to overcome our addiction to struggle and conflict, to recognize that we don't need any "drama". 

Even though it is oh, so familiar --- and may be oddly comforting because it is -- all the fighting and lying is what is destroying humankind and there are no victors in such a paradigm. 

This is what keeps everyone forever "fighting for freedom" and never experiencing it.  

We must realize that we have been conditioned like Pavlov's dog to "eternal war" and there is a part of us that wants to retreat from peace and get caught up in fighting and struggle and duality.  

It's like a default setting, drug addiction or other bad habit, that people get sucked into and all they want to do is fight, fight, fight. 

Recognize that the challenge is to stop fighting and instead aim to be worthy of peace and freedom, because until you all overcome this "war" mentality, you will not be able to find the peace and freedom that you all seek, and you won't be able to give this gift to each other.
