Europe and America

Even though this is mainly for my friends in Europe, it needs to be read by Americans as well.

Every week, I get lots of correspondence from people in Europe who have awakened and realized that they are in the same boat as the Americans. Invariably they want to know --- what do WE do in our country, with our situation? Can you help?

About all we can do at this point (with a few exceptions) is share what we have found and point Europeans in the right direction to research how your national government has been corrupted --- but it is slightly different in every country, because it was all done by legislation.

A key point is that "legislation" by its nature is not the Public Law of Mankind. Legislation is law for corporations and is meant to apply only to corporate workers and officials, not to the General Public at all.

The "State of State" legislatures in America have attempted to wear two hats --- one as a legislature passing "General Session Laws" that apply to the State Trusts that were created after the Civil War, and one as a legislature running the business of the State of State corporations, which results in "State Statutes".

The two different kinds of laws are a direct result of the "State" Legislatures trying to act in two separate capacities --- one as Trustees for our State of the Union, one as business moguls intent on making profit for their State of State Corporation at our expense.

This is an obvious and gross conflict of interest. You will see the same pattern of abuse of and "bilateral operation" of the provincial and county and parish governments in Europe. Since the Second World War in this country at least, it has been even worse.

We have had one legislative body acting in three conflicted capacities --- and then, people wonder why the Congress and the "State" Legislatures are always gridlocked and can't get anything done and when they do something it is almost always wrong? Well....
In Alaska, for example, you have one body acting as -- purportedly at least -- "the State Legislature" and calling itself "the Alaska Legislature" --- but in fact, it is one body of people acting in three different and conflicting capacities: (1) Board of Trustees for the Alaska State (a trust) and (2) the "legislative body" for the British Territorial franchise doing business as the "State of Alaska" and (3) the "legislative body" for the Municipal franchise doing business as the "STATE OF ALASKA".

As you begin to examine how your government is actually working versus how it is supposed to work, you will observe that it has been similarly mis-used to usurp unauthorized powers over the people these institutions are supposed to serve, and that your legislative bodies have also been thrown into irreconcilable conflicts of interest.

This has been a slow creeping miasma spread internationally by the US Military under the direction of sleazy mostly European banking interests that have used and abused the US Military and are now trying to use and abuse the Chinese Military, too.

For a pinpoint on where it really got going in earnest in recent times, we point to the later reign of Queen Victoria in England and the actual nature of the Disraeli and Gladstone Debates. Disraeli promised the Queen to make her "Empress of India" if she allowed the "enfranchisement" --- think Dairy Queen franchises --- of the English, Scottish, and Irish working classes.

Promoted as a good thing and a step forward for the working classes, it was in fact a form of entrapment, by which the victims were enslaved and claimed as chattel under Admiralty Law and by which "citizenship" was conferred upon them as employees and dependents of the government of Great Britain and later, the UK.

Now, the Masters and Lords of the Exchequer (Mr. Disraeli, especially) and the Commissioners of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Roman Catholic owners and operators of Cede and Company, the DTC/DTTC, and many other such organizations --- they all knew and they still know that it is totally illegal, unlawful, and immoral to "securitize" a living man or "hypothecate" debt against a living man --- so they abused the Probate Court and the Queen's "Other Office", The Chair of the Estates --- to declare all those newly enfranchised English, Scots, and Irish "legally dead".

They could then "legally" --- but still unlawfully and immorally -- seize upon the names and estates of the victims, establish Cestui Que Vie trusts in their NAMES, and "securitize" their estates and issue credit based on the value of these estates to the guilty government corporations.

Thus the secretive robbery and enslavement of the English, Irish, and Scots paid for the conquest and not-so-secret enslavement of the Subcontinent of India. The Queen got her "Empress of India" at the cost of her soul, and if the general public had truly understood what was done to them, it is quite likely that she would have been de-throned as well.

We, Americans, have been unknowingly been used as cheap mercenaries in wars for profit, and then we have been required to pay for the expense of waging the wars as well. This is a pattern that began with the Thirty Years War in Europe and which has continued with only a few bumps since then.

For this, we and the rest of the world, can "thank" the Swiss and French and English and New York bankers, plus, ---and especially--- the various Securities traders and Securities Exchange authorities that are supposed to ride herd on these traders and transactions, military personnel who have been lied to and had access to only compartmentalized information, all the members of every Bar Association worldwide, and politicians who have been either: (1) intelligent but crooked or (2) elected because they were malleable and dumb as stumps.

The rats have legislated themselves a series of unconscionable contracts and then enforced them under color of law and used these contracts to "redefine" us all as government workers or officials in order to establish their purported control over us and enhance their ability to enslave and dominate us using their own ability to legislate "Public Policy" for their corporations.

That is not how things are supposed to work, but it is the direct result of the conflict of interest exposed above, and the practice of letting one legislature exercise two or three or more such divergent capacities.

Now that you can see what the situation is and how it arose, you also understand the necessity of objecting to these "unconscionable" contracts that have been foisted off on you in the form of "conferred" citizenships.

An "unconscionable contract" is a contract that you are literally unaware of and can not reasonably be able to be aware of ---- such as a contract with a baby, which is precisely what these monsters have done with the birth registration practices they have put in place worldwide.

In America, the British Territorial [Military] Government is responsible for this and has its own cute story trying to justify it.

They have pretended that our whole country is still engaged in a "war" --- that in fact, The American Civil War, is still magically ongoing more than 150 years after hostilities ceased.

Using this vain excuse, they have defined our whole country as a "battlefield" and they have set up quasi-military districts and district governments to go with them, and they have been going around on "the battlefield" -- taking "protective custody" of "lost and unidentified infants" laying in their Mother's arms-- and "presuming" them to be "United States Citizens" and also "presuming" the Mothers to be mere "Informants" who "found" the babies on this bogus "battlefield".

This is how they "conferred" --- "gifted" --- us all with United States Citizenship and dubbed us "Federal Government Employees" and brought us under their corporate Statutory Law without our knowledge or consent while we were still babies in our cradles --- via the exercise of an unconscionable Admiralty contract.

If you believe this rot, we have approximately 350 million government workers in America, with nobody to serve but other government workers.

As if this shameless fraud and breach of trust by our disloyal British Territorial employees was not enough, the Congress acting in its "Municipal Capacity" --that is, as the plenary government of the Municipality of Washington, DC [Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17], got into the act as well, and "conferred" an even worse "gift" of "municipal citizenship" upon us, setting us up to be "defined" as SLAVES, DEBTORS, FUGITIVES, and whatever else the vermin cared to say about us.

It is, thus, with a sense of wonderment, that they have been able to get away with this for 150 years.

Nobody has even examined the source of all this crappola--- the Enrollment Act of 1863--- to determine whether or not the elected corporate officers of the Northern Confederate States (which were in fact "States of States" and commercial corporations facing bankruptcy---not our actual States at all) had any authority to take any such action in the first place.

I suppose it is our natural antipathy for "government" that leads the vast majority of us to jog trot away from it like a pile of dog excrement melting in the rain, hoping merely to keep our shoes clean ----- but things have gotten so bad that even the most offended sensibilities must be overcome, and we must pay attention to the history, the law, the facts, and the truly desperate juncture that a majority of countries worldwide have come to.

For those in England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales --- we have just touched upon the basic scheme that was employed, who employed it, why they employed it, etc., and somewhat in big strokes how they employed it --- (1) incorporation and privatization of government functions using "Municipal Corporation Acts", (2) laws requiring birth registrations, (3) laws conferring "presumed citizenship on minors" and on "unknown civilians" under military and "civil emergency" auspices, (4) laws pertaining to missing persons and probate of their estates as Cestui Que Vie Trusts, (5) laws in Admiralty allowing the "attachment" of people as "presumed officers" responsible for the debts of derelict "vessels" -- that is, Warrant Officers and Tax Withholding Agents --- we found all that included as "Supplemental Admiralty Rules" magically added like an afterthought to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, but in fact being the entire reason for the existence of the FRCP, and (6) voter registrations and licensing of activities -- like getting married and driving your own car down to the grocery store -- that are normally NOT prohibited nor prohibitable.

These six general areas of interest are what you all need to be looking at in terms of piecing together the offending "legislative history" while also keeping your perspective and claiming back your own Good Name and Estate and restoring your rightful National Governments.

If enough of us wake up worldwide, and determine that this criminality has gone on far more than long enough, won't be tolerated, and has been the cause of 90% of the misery in this world ---- we can change things.

By taking up our birthright political status as living men and women and by operating our lawful National Governments quite apart from anything the Liars and Schemers do, we can remove and liquidate the corporate pirates using their own rules and never fire a shot. We can support and defend each other, and eventually, the immensity of this criminality and its terrible impacts on everyone including those who are currently promoting this "System" of things, will become apparent.

To this great and necessary cause we are all being called and the call is urgent. Tell everyone you know. This is where we are, this is how we got here, and this is what we have to do --- record our claim to be who we are and claim back our birthright political status, get organized, and operate our lawful national government.

Obviously, when we do this, we are no longer part of the Babylonian "System" that Queen Victoria and her perfidious Lord of the Exchequer foisted off on us, but we can still make it hot enough for the purveyors of this "System" simply by recognizing the fact that they are operating in Bad Faith and as criminals and also by informing them and their minions that they are acting under Color of Law, using Unconscionable Contracts, improperly prosecuting landsmen under Admiralty Law, and participating in a vast host of crimes including:
unlawful conversion, identity theft, impersonation, barratry, conspiracy against the lawful government, treason against the lawful government, violation of commercial service contracts, unconscionable contracting practices, Bad Faith, false claims in commerce, kidnapping, press-ganging, enslavement, and inland piracy.

Present this information to your local lawyers and judicial authorities and law enforcement officers and ask them if they have any "stomach" to be further involved in this? And if not, offer them two choices --- stay where you are within the "System" and work Heaven and Earth to change it, or, leave the Bar Association and enjoy the wider world as a Counselor of Law, and help change the "System" from the outside. For the Law Enforcement Officers, this choice would translate to functioning as Peacekeeping Officers instead of or in addition to functioning as LEOs.

Good luck, Europe! Especially to all my beleaguered Kissing Cousins in Germany and Scotland! Remember in facing up to all this, we have one great advantage over the corporations --- we exist as the living, breathing, handiwork of God; they are stuck on pieces of paper and housed in file drawers.

Yes, You've Got It! ---

I just answered a question for a reader, which was echoed by another reader and I am just taking a moment to affirm that yes, the different capacities in which the single legislatures act do result in different forms of law and you do have to be able to tell the difference if you are to know which "laws" are meant to apply to you and which are "laws" for foreign government workers.

Bearing in mind that our actual sovereign States haven't assembled in 150 years, you must see that none of the "State" Legislatures are actually functioning as State Legislatures.

They are calling themselves State Legislatures because they are managing State Trusts named after our States of the Union, and because they are legislating for Territorial States of States corporations and Municipal STATE OF STATE corporations, both, but they are not in fact true State Legislatures.

Why? Again, the actual People of the States of the Union have not assembled their States and acted in this capacity for 150.

So that much thorough understood--- let's grab a "State" Legislature, for example, the Minnesota Legislature.

When it acts in the capacity of the Board of Trustees for the Minnesota State (Trust) the results are General Session Laws meant to apply to the Public at Large.

When the Minnesota Legislature acts as the legislative body for the Territorial United States Franchise doing business as the State of Minnesota this results in State Statutes.

And when the Minnesota Legislature acts as the legislative body for the Municipal United States Franchise doing business as the STATE OF MINNESOTA this results in Municipal Code.

The same is true of the "United States" Congress. Acts that are enrolled and published in the Federal Record are Public Laws of Federal United States, known as United States Statutes at Large, everything else is either a Territorial Title or a Municipal Code.

Last I checked only about 8% of the "laws" passed by the Congress are Public Laws that affect Americans in some context related to their constitutional duties.
Everything else is aimed at and supposed to apply to nobody but Federal Government employees and dependents.

Unfortunately, they have worked things around via the misuse and abuse of commercial contracting practices to claim that we are all Federal Government employees and dependents and therefore subject to every whim their lordships desire.

They've used dishonest and undisclosed commercial contracts to betray the trust owed to every American and then claimed that we agreed to this, that it was all voluntary, etc., etc.

To say that we need a housecleaning in DC, or even a draining of the Swamp is an understatement. What we really need is an end to legislative conflict of interest.

People sometimes need someone else to tell them what to do, how to think, etc. Or you can change the rules.

I comprehend that and agree whole heartedly.

We review history so we can learn lessons from the past. At some point this attention to this rather minor detail leads people to believe that what was done in the past is irreversible. This is far from the case. When you find an anomaly that needs correction you simply correct it nunc pro tunc and move on to the next issue.

Time is not an issue. Life is the issue.

My opinion is that people who don't perform this simple task and instead let past injustices rule end up with unrelieved stress and experience early extinguishment.

Just MORE Evidence Against Them

As we have endlessly discussed on this blog there are three kinds of citizenship available to us.

We can be American State Citizens and live as Minnesotans, Floridians, etc., and support our respective State Governments as Jurors, Justices, Peacekeeping Sheriffs, and so on.

We can be United States Citizens, that is, Administrative and Military Employees or Dependents of the Territorial Government.

We can be Citizens of the United States, that is, the Municipal (Civil) Government of the United States, their employees and dependents, etc.

This is never explained to us directly and forthrightly in schools getting Federal funding, for the obvious reason that if we choose to live on the land and soil jurisdiction of the actual States of the Union, it cuts down tax revenues.

What we basically have is a giant racketeering scheme: both the Territorial and the Municipal Government corporations claim that we are citizens belonging to their organizations, so that both can tax us.

If we claim (mistakenly) to be United States Citizens, they prosecute us using the MUNICIPAL COURTS.

If we claim (even more mistakenly) to be UNITED STATES CITIZENS, they prosecute us using the Territorial Courts.

To further confuse the issues, we have Municipal Officers, like WILLIAM P BARR occupying Territorial Offices, like The Office of the United States Attorney General. This allows him or any other "Federal Official" to wear two hats, just like the description of what the "State" Legislatures and "US Congress" are doing.

And we, having been left in the dark our whole lives, never realize that we are not any kind of Federal Citizen, and that there is a Third Option that we are naturally owed and are heir to: American Citizenship, as one of the Citizens of the States of the Union.

Much of my work has been to bring this to everyone's attention and to encourage as many Americans as possible to wake up and reclaim your natural birthright political estate and get organized to operate your actual, factual State of the Union, instead of being dependent on and at the mercy of foreign service providers and their out of control alphabet soup "agencies".

It all hinges on "Who's citizen are you?"

We have to be able to stand there and say with absolute certainty (and the paperwork on record to prove it) --- "Minnesota Citizen" or "Illinois Citizen" or "Montana Citizen".

People who bother to secure their Certified Birth Certificates and their two Witness Testimonies affirming that they are "the" living man or woman whose physical birth details are noted on the Birth Certificate have evidence of non-consensual and unconscionable contracts being presumed against them as mere babies in their cradles. Such contracts are totally illegal, immoral, and unlawful and not due any kind of presumption or enforcement.

People who took the extra step to have a State Certified Birth Certificate "Authenticated" by the United States Secretary of State have proof that they are owed the Geneva Conventions, not the Hague Conventions, under international law.

These two things taken together are absolute proof in any court in America that you have suffered illegal, immoral, and unlawful conscription, and that you are in fact a State National with the option of acting as a State Citizen upon reaching age of majority (for our States, that's 21).

If you additionally completed and recorded the Paperwork we developed and published as part of Article 928 on my website: www.annavonreitz.com and which is available on PaperUpNow.com, you have even more evidence as proof that you have been mis-identified and that you have taken steps to correct this, up to and including expatriating from any presumed "US Citizen" status and serving Public Notice of it to the authorities responsible.

And who are the "authorities responsible"? It turns out that it all comes down to the United States District Court and no other. The State of State Courts can't deal with us as Americans at all. That lies outside their scope as local franchises of the Federal Corporations.

We are, in terms of international law, "Foreign Sovereigns" with respect to the Federal Government workers, either Territorial or Municipal, because we occupy a completely different jurisdiction of the law ---- land law. We act as Lawful Persons. They act as Legal Persons.
And here is just more confirmation that all of this is true, factual, reliable, and important for all Americans including Federal Employees and Dependents (IRS OFFICERS, for example) to know:

UNITED STATES v. SLATER, 545 F.Supp. 179 (1982)

Unless the defendant can establish that he is not a citizen of the United States, the IRS possesses authority to attempt to determine his federal tax liability.

Please note that as we have always said, only Federal Citizens are liable to pay Federal Income Taxes and only Federal Citizens can be presumed to have Federal Income.

"What is Federal Income?"
Well, the Supreme Court danced around this question and described it instead of defining it. The learned Justices described such income as "profit separated from capital" --- which it is, but they fell short of stating the obvious -- that a Federal Income Tax is a corporate tax on Federal Income received by Federally chartered corporations, by their Federal Employees and their Federal Dependents.

It has nothing whatsoever to do with us and never did.

So when you see YOUR NAME in all capital letters, you will know that you are looking at a Federal Corporation being operated "in your NAME" and nothing else. This "PERSON" doesn't really exist, but they "presume" that you accepted their offer of a "franchise" and that that obligates you to operate as a "citizen of the United States"..

Ah, so, but wait a minute. This PERSON doesn't actually exist, and if it does, you have already sent its Birth Certificate back to the Secretary of the Treasury, so that makes it his problem, not yours.

You can demand to see the details of "your" alleged federal "CITIZEN" --- name, address, job description, supervisor, etc., and proof of Federal Income received by this PERSON. This will really startle the IRS, because nobody ever asks and they never have to present all the falsified records related to "YOUR" account. Now, what are they (and you) going to say when they have to reveal that YOUR NAME is (as in my case and maybe yours) the manager of a rum distillery in Barbados?

Are you going to stand there like I did and spurt, "What in the name of the Living God does this have to do with me? A Great-Grandma from Big Lake, Alaska, who has provably never even visited Barbados?"

Alien: An American sovereign in the probationary state.

Or you might claim to be a meat popsicle. Few regulations are established for this classification.

Would-Be Settlors

The Plot Thickens. Why you cannot support the Michigan General Jural Assembly ----besides the fact that it includes US Citizens in its membership, which our actual geographically-defined States forbid --- it turns out that the Brits using the US Military as pawns, have been at it again.

Look what I received in the mail this morning from James Courtade:
"You will recall [and I do] that while I was designated to be the Sec. of the Treasury I was the Michigan Governor. In that capacity I met with groups and set up county assemblies. To my dismay I found out that Robert Gilman and a few others were working behind my back to unseat me. It made no sense.

Then I discovered that they had created a Settlor document, which gave them total ownership and control of the state. They knew I would not go along with such an effort and that is the reason they wanted me gone.

When I first met Robert he talked about his military background, which was quite impressive. It, therefore, came as a shock when I found that he was attempting to subvert the Michigan Assembly.

I addressed the membership of about four hundred and told them what was going on and then resigned. Immediately all but about twenty people left the group. Going on today, I submit, is an effort to replace the existing state with one that is even more harmful to the people.

According to Bruce Kamps, a friend with over forty years of experience studying law, according to the document the settlors would own everything and be able to dictate the form or species (gold, silver, planum) of the taxes as well as the amounts to be paid by the people.

Over the many months that you wrote about the merits of the Michigan Assembly I expected that the matter had been corrected and that Robert was no longer involved. Reading this article I find to my dismay that he is still there. The people of Michigan must learn that the man is evil."
_________
I stop short of presuming that Robert is evil, but he is certainly misled and is misleading others. The Road to Hell is Paved with Good Intentions --- good intentions driven by partial and incorrect information leads to disaster every time. So it is that I have found numerous former military personnel involved in efforts to seize our country in the same way that so many Banana Republics have been seized --- by Settlor Agreements.

These men and women having been in the US Military have been conned into assuming that they are "US Citizens" --- and they have never bothered to question that, even though the Marine Corps daily drill drums it into their heads that they are what? Americans!

So it may take a moment or a month or a year for many former military personnel to realize that they WERE functioning as "US Citizens" while in the service, but were not born as "US Citizens" and are not naturally "US Citizens" and that there is in fact a foreign allegiance to the British Crown involved in being a "US Citizen".

It may also take a while for them to completely understand that as long as they adopt "US Citizenship" they are at a profound disadvantage politically, and will never be able to enjoy the freedom they fought for.

All they will ever have is "liberty" ---- what sailors get (only at their Captain's discretion) when the make it to port.

If that's what you guys in the military fought for, that's sad. If you fought for freedom, it's time to sever all presumption of "US Citizenship" and act as American State Citizens instead.

So what is the evil Settlor's Agreement that Robert and his group have put together? It's a claim to be the "Settlors" of our ESTATES which were created under conditions of FRAUD and which have been balled up by the same Municipal Perpetrators and British members of the Armed Services.

As Would-Be Settlors, they get to distribute what they want to distribute and otherwise act as little gods over the rest of us. They get to claim the land and everyone else goes hungry. It's what the Protestants did to the Catholics in Ireland. And its all based on bull crap.

So, now we know "the rest of the story" and the reason that Destry and Sun-Tzu and the rest of the Plotters reacted so violently and spread so much gossip against me when they realized that I was representing the interests of the actual People of this country and that I was bent on doing the Settlement the right way, so that everyone's interests were preserved.
