The words "peacekeeping task force" come to us from a military background and context.
These
words are heavy with the association of military occupation of
countries overrun in the course of wars, and with re-establishing peace
after domestic insurrections, and with multi-jurisdictional and
multilateral public safety efforts in the wake of natural disasters --
all three.
When
you say "Peacekeeping Task Force" the words carry a certain amount of
foreboding and baggage, because they historically invoke thoughts of
disasters and chaos and the circumstances that have necessitated their
use in the past.
Nonetheless,
we spoke those words shortly after the Continental Marshals Service was
commissioned to carry on the duties of traditional Federal Marshals in
May of 2015.
The
Mission of the PKTF for the past ten years has been to introduce our
lawful government to the world, to make other organizations aware of our
existence, and to encourage joint operations and coordination of Public
Safety efforts across multiple jurisdictions.
There
are multiple populations in this country and over 300 separate viable
nations present --- a fact that most Americans don't know and will be
surprised to learn. In addition to the many, many private agencies
hired as government subcontractors and the law enforcement organizations
we are all familiar with, there are Village and Tribal Police Officers
and Deputies, and cross-border organizations like Interpol, the Coast
Guard, and INS.
There
are literally hundreds of organizations and thousands of paid and
volunteer officers on the job, locally, in your State, in international
jurisdiction, and globally. Some of these organizations are traditional
peacekeeping organizations, and some are law enforcement organizations,
some have military associations, and many do not.
There
are numerous professional organizations like the Constitutional
Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association, and Police Lodges maintained
as, for example, the Fraternal Order of the Alaska State Troopers, and
Police Unions that form a dizzying patchwork of mostly local
organizations all over the country representing an estimated 640,000 law
enforcement officers.
Though
we may not always think of Federal Agencies beyond the FBI and United
States Marshals in terms of peacekeeping or law enforcement there are
numerous armed agencies including the BATF, INS, DEA, ICE, and DHS.
Please go to the PKTFNews.org website and check out the news and blog space articles.
With
our States being called into Session, our State Assembly Militias are
also forming up as one of the Four Pillars that define State Assembly
functions. Our traditional County Assemblies are also forming and so,
our traditional County Sheriff offices are being filled, and American
Common Law Courts are reappearing.
Our
Federation of States is alive and well and operating in international
jurisdiction, so that our Federal Marshals Service, (renamed Continental
Marshals Service ten years ago), is also back in the saddle combating
international and interstate crime.
Many
people have been confused about the need for the PKTF and its Public
Relations and Disaster Preparedness functions, but both these functions,
rooted and centered in communications, are fundamental.
Without
the PKTF there is literally no organization in this whole plethora of
services across multiple jurisdictions that is tasked with forming
communications networks and working relationships and partnerships
linking law enforcement, peacekeeping and local sheriffs together.
The
need for this has been dramatically demonstrated during Hurricane
Helene and the firestorm on Maui, where disaster relief was curtailed
and delayed and obstructed for lack of a coordinated disaster
response.
In North Carolina, we even had to go to court to force FEMA to cooperate with State and Local relief efforts.
Of
course, public safety and disaster relief organizations should work
together, but they haven't been doing so for over three decades, for
lack of what PKTF brings to the table: understanding of shared goals and
missions, cross-jurisdictional pre-planning and partnerships, networked
communications, and staged deployment.
With
PKTF fully funded and on the job, we will be able to provide the safety
net needed and as needed. That's important, folks, when you or your
loved ones are facing an onrushing wildfire or flood or earthquake or
epidemic.
It's
the fundamental duty of the government to protect the people and their
assets, but how are you going to do that, if the various levels of
government, government agencies, and public safety organizations and
officers at all levels don't talk to each other?
If
you don't talk before the need arises, you wind up in court in North
Carolina fighting bureaucratic turf battles while people die from
exposure.
PKTF's Communications and Networking Mission when fully realized will prevent that from ever happening again.
There are other ways that PKTF's Communications and Networking Mission helps everything that everyone else is doing every day.
Politically
motivated propaganda hit pieces like the one written by a 'Sociologist'
and appearing at the Police.com website recently mischaracterizing
American State Nationals as "Sovereign Citizens", fall flat when the
policemen reading it know some peaceable, law abiding American State
Nationals, and have also come to know that we aren't "citizens" --- much
less "Sovereign Citizens".
Knowledge
is empowering on all sides and for those acting in all capacities.
Simply knowing that "Sovereign Citizen" is an oxymoron is enough to keep
most people from using that label ever again.
Getting
to know us, getting to know American History, understanding that what
we are doing is good for every American, ultimately including everyone
in Federal Service and everyone working for "federalized" State-of-State
franchises, does away with the entire narrative that we are "dangerous
insurrectionists".
When
Law Enforcement Officers encounter our Living Law Firm Counselors and
members of the PKTF, they are skeptical at first, but with some simple
information they can check out for themselves, they rapidly put two and
two together.
All
the False Narratives go "Thud!" because PKTF and local volunteers made
the effort to communicate, present themselves, and answer questions
intelligently. Maybe they dropped off an article, a helpful brochure, or
an invitation to a barbecue.
I
recently observed that ignorance gives birth to prejudice by the hour.
The job the PKTF has undertaken for the past ten years is to slow that
roll and make those contacts, so that ignorance doesn't have a chance to
spawn prejudice.
We all have our part of this work to do, and it's important that we do it.
Too
often jurisdictional trespasses lead to confrontations and the failure
of our public employees to honor their obligations and limitations can
be infuriating -- but how are they supposed to know who we are and what
we are doing, if we don't reach out and show them? Step by step?
None
of us learned this stuff in public school. They stopped teaching it in
most places in 1965. It's only us greybeards who know, and what's the
average age of a Highway Patrolman?
It's
fundamentally important for each State Assembly to establish a PFTK
contact person or two or three, so that our State Assembly Militias are
part of the public safety network and are kept abreast of new
opportunities and developments.
Soon, the PKTF mission will be expanding.
As
we have told you all on numerous occasions, the British Territorial
occupation of our country is essentially illegal and has only been
allowed to go on for such a long time, because we "failed" to provide a
viable civilian peacekeeping taskforce to secure and oversee our own
public elections, and provide for public safety in the interim.
The
PKTF's networking and communications mission remains as vital as ever,
but ultimately, the PKTF is our "civilian peacekeeping taskforce" in the
making.
We
are not here to replace the military in any sense of armed struggle; we
are merely doing what should have been done in 1865, preparing the way
for our own public elections, and providing a platform for joint
operations ensuring public safety until we fully transition to our
lawful peacetime government.
Like
many aspects of everything that has gone into this effort, we have had
to grow our oaks from acorns, in a slow, organic, grassroots fashion.
Nothing we have learned or earned has come easy or happened fast.
Our
resources have often been pitiful compared to the challenges we've
faced: as Jim said one night early on, "Well, we've got two cans of
tuna, and one can of Pork and Beans...."
And I said, "Not even any SPAM?"
We ate the two cans of tuna, one each, and went to bed.
In the morning, we had one can of Pork and Beans left....
You
can be sure that your American Government is American. We've all paid
the price to volunteer, and so has PKTF. I am very proud of these men
and women, and now that you have a better understanding of who they are
and why they are and their role
as we go forward, please join me in supporting PKTF.
Assemblies, if you haven't yet named a PKTF contact, please do so now.
