5124-5126: Two Women from Lincoln County Watch
By Anna Von Reitz
Let's
just call them Ruth and Sandy -- not their real names, because while
this all happened in real life, it's not really about them. It could be
about any two women in any State of the Union Assembly.
Ruth
had a podcast that she authored and staffed and paid for all by
herself. It was her podcast and she could use it to pursue any topics
she wanted to pursue. This is just the way podcasts work.
Sandy was an Assembly officer, duly elected.
These
two women fell out over the podcast. Ruth wanted to discuss business
and land issues, especially farming issues, Sandy wanted it to be
focused on Assembly issues and under Assembly control.
One
day, Ruth just stopped asking Sandy to attend the podcast. She did
this abruptly, without any warning or explanation. It was clumsy of her
and hurt Sandy's feelings. Ruth sailed on, all caught up in the new
topics she was pursuing on her podcast; but, in the background, Sandy
was simmering and angry.
What
started out as a "slight" gradually turned into a feud between these
two women and for months it raged back and forth, both lambasting the
other every chance they got, each gossiping about the other, each one
back-biting the other, until --- to hear them talk --- these two women
who started out as friends had morphed into two renditions of the Devil
incarnate.
Neither
one had a good word to say about the other. More incidents occurred as
a result. Ruth's every mistake was turned into a national
catastrophe. Sandy's undermining of Ruth and continual back-biting was
responded to by even more back-biting and gossiping in return.
Once it got started, it took on a life of its own.
The
Coordinator, a nice gentle man --- let's call him "Ken" -- was stuck in
the middle of this, getting constantly battered with it all, and though
I called on him to put a stop to it, he was helpless before the
onslaught of uncontrolled estrogen. It just went on and on and on.
And
as it did, the State Assembly was torn apart and consolidated into
factions --- pro-Ruth and pro-Sandy. I just shook my head. Lies and
deliberate manipulations and deliberate misinterpretations were slung
freely by both sides. It felt like I was back in the Corporate Boardroom
again.
Then,
a great storm came, a storm so terrible that it killed thousands of
people and caused billions of dollars of damage, and in the midst of
this I tried to get these two women to lay down their hatchets and make
peace for the common good ---- and they would not.
They
just kept right on tearing away at each other in the face of this huge
impending disaster --- insults, suspicions, wild accusations, gossiping,
back-biting, undermining, manipulating ---- and in utter frustration
after months of this Bad Behavior, I gave up and I said, "you fucking
bastards haven't learned anything." Unquote.
I
was clearly talking to the two women at the bottom of the dogpile. Not
to Ken. Not to the other members of the Assembly. I was speaking
directly and only to them about their own Bad Behavior. This was a
private communication to them, not meant to be shared with anyone else.
They had re-created the Monster we are all trying to get away from.
They
had created "sides" and were warring against each other even with a
giant natural disaster bearing down on them and their State of the
Union. It was all just catfight, catfight, catfight and devil take the
hindmost. Even at that dire moment.
Neither one would give an inch or a moment of peace, even with people dying all around them.
Unfortunately,
Ruth didn't get the drift. She thought my comment (a private comment)
was addressed to Sandy and the Coordinator, not to herself and Sandy.
So she eagerly ran with it and shared my private outburst, thinking that
it was a condemnation of her enemies, when in fact it was a joint
condemnation leveled against her and Sandy.
My comment didn't involve the Coordinator at all. He was clearly a long-suffering and innocent bystander.
As
for me, I hate lies and gossip and back-biting of all kinds, and to
find these two women still "slinging" at each other in the middle of a
national disaster was all I could take.
There
are always plenty of things to fight about, if you are all about war
and choosing sides and "coming out on top" -- but that isn't what our
Assemblies are about. These two women fell back into their
winner-take-all corporate indoctrination and they didn't care who they
hurt or how they were tearing their Assembly apart.
All
they wanted was to "win" no matter what it took. They both lost. The
Assembly lost. Neither one of them seemed to notice, but everyone
concerned lost because of them and their Bad Behavior.
All
our efforts to help disaster victims were truncated and hampered and
less-than-it-could-have-been, because these two women just couldn't give
up fighting with each other and gossiping about each other. And that's
a tragedy.
So, it's time to step back and evaluate.
I shouldn't have lost my temper. Lesson One.
They shouldn't have been cat-fighting. Lesson Two.
And no, this had nothing to do with the Coordinator. Lesson Three.
The
Coordinator is not a CEO. Coordinators don't have the authority of a
CEO and they can't "fire" members of an Assembly who are bent on Bad
Behavior.
It's up to the rest of us to ride that herd and let our erring members know:
We
are not here, individually or collectively, to "win" anything. This is
not a game, not some kind of social contest, there are no "in crowds"
and no "out crowds". What we are called to do in our Assemblies is to
come together -- all of us -- and work together for the good of our
country and our fellow man.
Anything
that detracts from that is a loss. Anything that divides an Assembly
into "sides" is a loss. Gossiping is a loss. Back-biting is a loss.
Undermining others is a loss. Being hard-hearted and prideful is a
loss. Cat-fighting and slandering others is a loss. Refusing to work
together is a loss.
Now,
at a time when that Assembly most needs to stand tall and stand
together, it is divided and hurting. Some people want to blame me--- but
I am here to tell you: I lost my temper, but I wasn't even close to
being the cause of this problem.
This problem lies with just two women --- and all the people who put up with their shenanigans instead of turning them off.
Just as it takes two to tango, Gossip doesn't have feet of its own.
Everyone
in the Assembly has been faced with a choice --- to listen to hateful
gossip, or not. To take sides -- or not. To rebuke these women for
their Bad Behavior or not.
So
it isn't "just" a problem of the manure spreaders, it's a problem that
involves all of those who stand by passively and wag their heads and put
up with it.
Most
of us went to High School and survived Seventh Grade Gym Class. Most
of us put in our "tours of duty" in the military or in the corporate
world. We can recognize this war-mongering, winner-takes-all behavior
for what it is, and we can say no to it.
We can refuse to get sucked into it. We can rebuke others and remind them what we are here for.
Gossip
and back-biting undermines everyone and everything we stand for. The
perpetrators of this kind of behavior always try to turn it into a
matter of "Us, Good Guys" against "Them, Bad Guys", but in reality there
are no Good Guys in such a scenario.
Like the de facto political parties, no matter which side you choose, it's wrong. And we all lose.
Realizing that, it's up to everyone in every Assembly to put the kibosh on gossip and Bad Talking.
It's
not my role or responsibility to tell Assembly members (or officers)
that they are being "fucking bastards" who "haven't learned anything"
about peaceably working together. It's yours.
You don't have to swear about it, but you do have to get the message across to those who are indulging in this kind of thing.
It's your Assembly, your State, that is going to suffer, if you do not.
You
all set your community standards, so set them high. Don't just tolerate
gossip and back-biting and cat-fighting in your midst. Realize how
much this Bad Behavior costs all of us---including each one of you.
Put
a stop to it and a stop to those promoting it before it has a chance to
divide your Assembly into the proverbial pro-Ruth and pro-Sandy
factions. Remind them that they have a higher calling and a job to do
and bashing each other isn't it.
Do
this early on and enforce it as a group. Don't take any sides at all.
just shut it down. Tell the erring members outright -- we're not here
to gossip, and if you don't have anything better to do.....come right
over here. Here's a job for you to do.

International Public Notice: A Simple But Pernicious Misunderstanding
By Anna Von Reitz
The Constitutions are Labor and Performance contracts --- what are commonly called, "Service Contracts".
They
are drawn up between the People, State Citizens entrusted with
representing their State of the Union in international business affairs,
and three (3) Subcontractors: the original Confederation of States
doing business as the States of America, the British Territorial
Government, and the Holy Roman Empire.
The first important thing to know about these three Federal Constitutions is that they are specific service
contracts. The services our States contracted to receive and the
"Powers" needed to perform these enumerated services were delegated to
the foreign Service Providers. That's why they are called "delegated
powers".
The
second thing to know is that while our Federal Employees and Federal
Dependants "live under" their respective Constitutions, the American
people who created the Constitutions do not.
The
bulk of the American population --- all those who don't work for the
Federal Government --- have always lived under The Unanimous Declaration
of Independence, instead.
Third,
all federal government employees function as foreign "persons" who
"reside" here for an undetermined amount of time under the provisions of
The Residence Act.
Fourth, all functions of the Federal Government service providers occur in international and global jurisdictions.
We never entrusted them with any duties or delegations of power related to our States and their internal administration.
[They
usurped such State-related powers via a Substitution Scheme following
the so-called American Civil War, but that's another story.]
Fifth,
all the Federal Government Subcontractors act as "persons", not as
"people". This is because the Federal Government employees all work in
international and global jurisdictions which are uniquely inhabited by
legal fiction persons.
Sixth,
all Federal Courts similarly function in international and global
jurisdictions and are only empowered to address Federal persons.
We
are supposed to be providing our own courts to serve our own people.
Our courts have been "missing" because we, ourselves, left them vacated
for many years.
So here it is, again:
All the Federal Subcontractors operate exclusively in international or global jurisdictions.
All international jurisdictions, both land and sea, are inhabited exclusively by legal fiction persons.
All global jurisdictions of the air are inhabited exclusively by incorporated legal fiction persons.
Therefore,
self-evidently, there are no Federal Courts that directly serve the
people of this country, and as the Federal Court itself firmly declared
in Erie Railroad Co. v Thompkins in 1938, there is no "general common
law" available to the Federal Courts.
So even if they wanted to address the living people, they couldn't.
Stop looking for what isn't there.
Stop making demands on your Federal Employees that they can't meet.
Start learning your responsibilities and fulfilling them, and exercising your rights appropriately.
Declare
your nationality and enter your State Assemblies, run your own courts
in your own jurisdiction, and if your Federal Employees get out of hand,
hold them accountable and enforce their service contracts.
It's that simple. The only thing standing in anyone's way, is ignorance.

Re-Posting for Educational Purposes
By Anna Von Reitz
The
following is a repost of a thread in a email forum involving Ron
Vrooman, Dr. Cordero, and others; we don't have explicit permission to
repost, but it was the express wish of the author that everyone on the
thread familiarize themselves with the historical documents and in
particular the meaning of the words in those documents circa the time of
their creation. We are including all of you in the thread -- for your
own good and the good of posterity.
One
of the things that impairs our understanding of our government is the
evolution of the words themselves. Over time, the original meaning can
be obscured so that we no longer properly interpret the intent of the
original authors. We can overcome this by paying attention to the
definitions that were in use at the time. For example, Webster's 1824
informs us that the word "federal" was at that time a synonym for
"contract".
Federal Government equals Contract Government. Who knew?
Other
words are equally important to understand within the context of the
original documents. This reposting allows you all to examine the
documents as they were published at the time, and to examine the meaning
of the words at the time. It's well-organized and a rare treat for
everyone to have such an examination made so accessible.
Before
plunging in, however, note that the main references concern the British
Territorial contract known as The Constitution for the United States of
America, though many of the words will be the same for the Roman
Municipal version known as The Constitution of the United States.
Many
thanks to the online Dictionary resources that make it possible for us
to do this work and for the etymologists worldwide who illuminate the
origins and meanings of words and their development over time.
1776 - Declaration of Independence
In Congress, July 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to (1) dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to (2) assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should (3) declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with
certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the
pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are
instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the
governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of
these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it,
and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such
principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem
most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. . . .
[Please
note that in the very beginning and for several years thereafter many
names were used for the former United Colonies, including "the United
States" and "the United States of America" and "the united States of
America", which were used as "doing business as" names of the original
Union States joined together in mutual pursuits. Over time, the words
"United States" and "United States of America" and "States of America"
would come to have different meanings and be associated with multiple
entities. It is interesting to note that "States of America" was the
first "doing business as" name that the States used; later, in 1781,
they applied it to their Confederation of States. In 1861 when the
Confederation failed and The Constitution for the united States of
America went dormant, this original Confederation had been doing
business as the States of America for eighty years, and both the
Federation of States and the Union States had been in operation for 85
years.]
