For Veterans: A Very Special Christmas Message from Judge Anna and James Clinton Belcher

Re-posted with thanks, from PaulStramer.net. Please visit there for more information and regularly updated posts from Judge Anna von Reitz on the ongoing efforts to address issues of historic corporate fraud in US government.

This is advice to veterans from a former US Air Force officer who has worked in Cryptography and Covert Ops, who co-wrote An American Affidavit of Probable Cause… with Judge Anna von Reitz, but it also reads as advice to every American who wishes to make an effort to restore our country and Constitution to peace, sanity, and normalcy. Further, it is addressed to everyone in every “Commonwealth” country which once was part of the British Empire–the empire which apparently, covertly, never let the sun set on it after all–we have all been defrauded:

“The word has to be passed hand to hand and mouth to mouth so that everyone in America and the rest of the world knows the Truth— and the truth is that America, all the nations of the old British Empire—India, Canada, Australia, England, Scotland, Ireland, New Zealand—have all suffered gross fiduciary trust fraud. So has almost all of Europe.”

Who is responsible for this besides the members of the “US Congress” and every President except Kennedy for the past hundred years? It’s mostly the British Crown and a bunch of bankers and industrialists: every corporation owned or operated by Rothschild, every corporation owned or operated by the Rockefellers, every corporation owned or operated by George Soros, for starters. Vanguard, Fidelity, Carlisle, SERCO, Northern Trust, the Federal Reserve Banks, Merrill-Lynch, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, General Electric and the list goes on. They all need to be busted up into little pieces and liquidated for fraud and racketeering. Their assets need to be returned to the people who have been murdered and defrauded and enslaved to build these criminal empires.

Message in full below, please share widely. And if you haven’t yet, please get a copy of and read the Affidavit, which explains this fraud in greater detail. Absolutely vital historic information there, for all of us.  Also, you can read all of Judge Anna’s other writings addressing this fraud on her website, http://www.annavonreitz.com, and on http://www.paulstramer.net.

A Very Special Christmas Message from Judge Anna and James Clinton Belcher

For the Boys
A Christmas Message for Veterans
From Judge Anna and James Clinton Belcher
December 24, 2015

It’s time you met the co-author of “You Know Something Is Wrong When…..An American Affidavit of Probable Cause”——James Clinton Belcher. Two years USAF Cryptography, six years Covert Ops, 29 years Night Terrors. When a military bureaucrat looks at a personnel file and straightens up in his chair and softly whistles and says, “He must really want to live.” —- you don’t have to be told much more.

Jim always sits with his back to the wall and an exit close by. He’s the only man I know of who goes moose hunting with a 9mm and makes a one-shot kill look easy. At past 70, the muscles on his back are still like polished stone. He is a nice man, a good man, but there is something about him that tells you that you really, truly would not want to mess with him, and there’s something else—an air of command that makes other men instinctively listen to what he says when he does speak, which isn’t often.

As one of his best friends said, “Jim was born old.”

The one thing nobody ever says, but which everyone knows, is that his heart was broken many years ago, and not by any woman. It was broken by this country. It was that heartbreak that led to the affidavit and so much more in both our lives.

Despite everything, Jim Belcher weighed in, raised four children to adulthood, and became one of the most respected artists in America. He has been a Signature Member of the Oil Painters of America since the 1990’s.

We’ve been deluged with questions from veterans who have read the affidavit and who, one way or another, know it’s true. Yes, our country’s government has been usurped by the international banks and foreign governments, especially the British government. Yes, this gross corruption has been going on a long time. Yes, it threatens not only our country, but the whole world.

Still, what’s to be done about it? The history and the facts are now clear, documented in stone by public records. We finally know the past, but what does that imply about right now and the future.

I asked Jim and here’s his advice to his fellow veterans:

First, take care of yourselves and each other. Always. Remember what cadre means.

Second, our worst enemy is ignorance. Know who you are and know who “they” are. This is difficult, because we are all Americans, and 90% of those supporting this abuse and corruption are doing so because they don’t know any better. Inform them as fully and simply as you can.

I recommend pointing out that there are two kinds of people on this Continent according to the Treaty of Paris, 1783: the “free sovereign and independent people of the United States” and “inhabitants” — British Crown subjects who are here to deliver “essential governmental services” (The Constitution Article IV, Section 3, Clause 2). That pretty much tells the story right there.

Third, whether they know it or not, virtually all government workers and certainly all elected officials fall into that second category of British Crown subject “inhabitants” and they have used various means of fraud and guile to redefine our political status to be the same as theirs. They’ve told a bunch of lies about us and done their best to reduce us to foreign servitude.

It was by using this fraud against our true political status that they drafted people into World War II and Korea and Vietnam. It’s what they have used to tax us and license us and drive us crazy with 80 million regulations and statutes and codes, the enforcement of which is how they make a good portion of their money. Most recently they have begun outright strong-arm extortion— forcing us to pay them for protection and health insurance and other “services” that they have seized control of.

Some people say they are Communists and some say they are Nazis. I just say they are European Banker Scum and leave it at that.

Fourth, they get away with most of their crappola by pretending to be units of government or “agencies” of government, but they aren’t. They are just private corporate subcontractors without a shred of any delegated authority. The American Bar Association and the Internal Revenue Service are both privateer organizations owned by Northern Trust, Inc. They are private bill collectors for the Pope and the Queen and international banks and that’s all they ever have been.

These entities are all operating under private corporate administrative law and international admiralty. I laugh every time I hear some idiot threaten us with “martial law” –we’ve been living under martial common law since the 1860’s.

Fifth, the ones primarily responsible for all this corruption are the members of the “US Congress” past and present—- functioning as the Board of Directors of successive private, mostly foreign-owned and always poorly managed governmental services corporations calling themselves all sorts of different names like: “UNITED STATES (INC.)” and “The United States of America (Inc.)” and “USA (INC.)” and even “E PLURIBUS UNUM THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA”. With a little sleuthing you can find their registrations here and in France and at the United Nations City State and other places, their DUNS numbers, their CAGE numbers, all of it.

Sixth, generations of malfeasance and treasonous corruption among the members of Congress have sold out this country and robbed us blind almost to a point of no return. Most of the stoodges in the Congress now don’t have a clue what they are doing, and they don’t care. They sign pieces of gobbledygook that are thousands of pages long into “law” and never read any of it. They pretend to have authority to sell you and your children’s children’s children into debt slavery, and they pretend that you agreed to this and gave them permission.

Right.

Seventh, the truth is that these people, aided by the members of the Bar Associations and the Internal Revenue Service, have falsified the public records and changed your political status from that of one of the “free sovereign and independent people of the United States” to that of a mere “inhabitant” —- a British Crown subject obligated to do whatever they tell you to do and that’s how they have engineered all this rot and made all these false claims against you and your property.

Eighth, when you discover the Truth and try to get this corrected, they throw up all kinds of road blocks and make all sorts of excuses. They deny your applications for a correct passport. They harass you on the roads. They charge you with crimes that apply only to British Crown subjects in their very own administrative tribunals. They throw you in their private jails-for-profit, and then charge your public treasury for the “service”. And worst of all, they maintain that they have the power to draft you and send you anywhere in the world to kill other innocent people for the financial benefit of those responsible for this.

Ninth— who is responsible for this besides the members of the “US Congress” and every President except Kennedy for the past hundred years? It’s mostly the British Crown and a bunch of bankers and industrialists: every corporation owned or operated by Rothschild, every corporation owned or operated by the Rockefellers, every corporation owned or operated by George Soros, for starters. Vanguard, Fidelity, Carlisle, SERCO, Northern Trust, the Federal Reserve Banks, Merrill-Lynch, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, General Electric and the list goes on. They all need to be busted up into little pieces and liquidated for fraud and racketeering. Their assets need to be returned to the people who have been murdered and defrauded and enslaved to build these criminal empires.

Tenth— now, we’ve told it to you straight and you are still standing there gaping and saying, but what do we DO? Communications, command, and control. The word has to be passed hand to hand and mouth to mouth so that everyone in America and the rest of the world knows the Truth— and the truth is that America, all the nations of the old British Empire—India, Canada, Australia, England, Scotland, Ireland, New Zealand—have all suffered gross fiduciary trust fraud. So has almost all of Europe. We need an “army” of researchers and forensic auditors and public accountants and historical researchers, paralegals, private investigators, and police officers. We need to track down where the money went, and by that I mean, what stands for “money”— credit, securities, and commodities. Those responsible need to be tracked down, arrested as criminals, and subjected to the same kind of interrogation they’ve used on their scapegoats at Guantanamo. These financial criminals declared “war” on the rest of us. Let them get a taste of it.

Eleventh – the element of command: we need to change our minds. We have been fed a line of bull for so long and indoctrinated so severely that we need to relearn how to think and how to learn. Turn off the Boob Tube. Just turn it off. Listen to local radio stations if you still have some in your area. How do you know if it is “local”? Look at the content. The Corporate Controlled Media feeds you a steady stream of two things all day long, every day: sex and death. They do this to arouse your desire to buy stuff from their bosses and to frighten you into demanding more government services—-which is the same thing. Turn the knob. You have to start thinking and looking for yourselves. “Snopes” is nothing but a couple California Libs who couldn’t check a fact if their lives depended on it. Check your own facts. Use your own brains, your own hearts. Start cranking out your own media—you know how. Send this message out by the millions.

Print it out. Email it. Paste it on your mess kit.

Twelfth – control. The first thing you have to control is yourself. Keep calm and get even. Take the steps necessary to secure your families and communities. Tell the “Mayors”— who are corporate stooges elected to private corporate offices—to vacate any pretension of holding public office and to stop adding fluoride or anything else to your drinking water. Make that one stick and make plans for taking over and running public utilities in an emergency. Lay in a supply of food and first aid and everything else you can and plan not only for yourselves, but as much as you can for your neighbors. Everyone who has drilling equipment, start plugging water wells for public use. Along with these practical kinds of measures, put the heat on the politicians.

Call for a public moratorium on all foreclosures. No money has been loaned since 1933, and no credit but the Borrower’s own credit has been loaned, either. Every single mortgage contract in America is void for fraud without exception. Those men and women in the nice suits who claim to be running “your state legislature” are responsible. Do I need to say anything more? According to the commercial law in all fifty states, a “promissory note” has to be paid off within nine months of issuance. That thing misrepresented to you as a promissory note, and which you signed in Good Faith, is in fact a security note and what the bank obtained from you is an unregistered security—which is totally illegal. You’ve been defrauded and the contract failed on the first default.

Everyone in America who has had a mortgage since 1933 has been defrauded. It’s the same in Canada, England, and France—anywhere this “system” has been allowed to function.

It’s time you all woke up.

Call for the return of your bank-pilfered property. In 1933 the “Congress”— a Board of Directors of a private, mostly foreign-owned corporation facing bankruptcy – pledged you and your assets as “surety” for their debts without telling you a thing about it. They also created their own currency— a private corporate script called a “Federal Reserve Note” and gave it (and them) an unnatural benefit: a fixed “dollar for dollar” rate of exchange against your United States Dollar defined as an ounce of pure silver.

A “Federal Reserve Note” is a promise to pay— an I.O.U. So “Congress” acting at the behest of the Federal Reserve Banks exchanged your gold and silver for their worthless paper, cleaned out Fort Knox, ran “your” credit cards to the hilt, and then bankrupted the whole Federal Reserve System—-discharging all those I.O.U’s via bankruptcy fraud and leaving the perpetrators in possession of your gold and silver, plus the value of everyone’s labor and natural resources since 1933. The perpetrators have pulled the same fraud in almost every country worldwide.

No wonder Jacob Rothschild claims to be worth 500 trillion dollars.

I wouldn’t say he’s worth the powder to blow him to Hell, but that’s my opinion.

Resist all and any attempts to disarm anyone. Placed against this backdrop, when “the government” — a private corporation of the same basic nature as Burger King International tells you to give up your guns, what do you tell that “government”—-?

That’s right.

You don’t give them your guns or your knives or your swords or your chain saws or your nail guns or anything else that can be used as a deadly weapon. If you are an American, you don’t ask anyone to give up their guns and other weapons for any reason. You understand that we are facing a criminal cartel of unimaginable proportions bent on enslaving the entire world via deceit and fraud. You call on your brothers in the military worldwide and in the police forces worldwide, to put an end to this bunko.

You tell your neighbors and you batten down.

There’s 360 million of us in America and 515 of them, plus about 30 million clueless corporate government employees operating county franchises and state franchises of the governmental services corporation(s) responsible for this mess.

Restore your lawful government on the land. All the “State of…….” and “County of…….” organizations you see are franchises in the same sense as the local Dairy Queen. They are not the counties and states you owe yourself and do not represent the counties and states you are heir to. These are foreign “territorial” and corporate entities that are supposed to be limiting themselves to serving Federal United States Citizens and riding herd on the same corporations that are causing all this trouble.

Your counties and states rule the land jurisdiction owed to the “free sovereign and independent people of the United States” and it is time to exercise that jurisdiction. Post the Public Notices and hold Public Meetings explaining the situation, open Nominations for the vacant offices of —Sheriff on the Land, Judges and Justices of the Peace, Clerks, Bailiffs, Public Notaries, owed your Common Law Courts (see Amendment VII and Milligan Ex Parte), Coroner, and any other offices you wish to fill, including Governor on the Land—and hold elections, accept the bonds and oaths, and get started.

Once elected and installed in office, your Sheriff on the Land is the highest police official in America. He can deputize as many men as he needs. He can commandeer the forces and equipment of all the corporate “Sheriffs” who are just mall cops being paid for out of our public funds—-and he is fully empowered to go retrieve any and all Americans being held in any corporate for-profit jails for release to his custody. Only those accused of murder or armed assault with a deadly weapon may be retained by Federal Marshals.

Thirteenth — show up the United Nations for what it is. Thus far, it has been a clearinghouse and facilitator of all this fraud, oppression, and criminality. If it is ever going to have any legitimate power or function it’s now or never. It has to address the worldwide bank fraud and oppressive tactics of its member states — which are all nothing but corporations — and if it doesn’t, then you all know where the spring cleaning needs to begin.

Fourteenth, put the spurs in the Roman Catholic Church. According to Ecclesiastical Law, which is where all this started, the Pope has the unquestioned right to amend or repeal any statutory law and to discipline or liquidate any corporation on Earth that functions in a criminal fashion—-including his own.

You “the free sovereign and independent people of the United States” are owed Good Faith service, protection, freedom (not “liberty”), and peace from these scoundrels according to the Definitive Treaty of Peace (1783), The Treaty of Westminster (1794), The Supreme Repubican Declaration of the United Colonies of America, The Constitution for the united States of America, The United States Statutes-at-Large, the Expatriation Statute (1868), the Geneva Convention Protocols of 1949: Laws of War, Volume II, Article 3, the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Universal Right of Self-Declaration.

If these fine words ever meant anything, the Jacob Rothschilds and John McCains of the world must finally be recognized for what they are, arrested, and incarcerated for crimes against humanity.

Information of Interest Also to Targeted Individuals from Judge Anna re. Steps for Everyone to Take Today: Help Us Make Peace & Real Freedom in the World

Re-posted from Paulstramer.net, with many thanks; please visit there on an ongoing basis for these and many other posts from Judge Anna on revealed histories and facts and how you and your community can act today to challenge criminality in the legal, banking, and political system in the US and worldwide.

Please note, these steps should be of particular interest if you are a currently unacknowledged, secretly “Targeted Individual” experiencing covert assault and weapons testing/experimentation with Electromagnetic weapons/scalar/sonic technologies, and many other criminal abuses such as Character Defamation and Community Policing at the hands of the corrupt Covert military/Intel/corporate/academic cartel engaging in Crimes of Classification and Secrecy against citizens, publicly citing or taking refuge in all manner of executive orders, military laws, claims of “national security,”and secret allowances as reason to assault, withhold public information, classify, and keep secret,while you are fully denied your Constitutional rights to Due Process, and freedoms from intrusion, assault, and harm, as well as your basic human rights and protections as spelled out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Nuremberg Code of Ethics.

While the steps below don’t exactly spell out what TIs can do to gain justice, the information here is vital to understand as base for seeking remedy: the clue is in political status, and understanding what one’s political status really is--as “free, sovereign, and independent people of the United States” versus “inhabitants” still under the British Crown–and making a Declaration of Political Status.

My personal advice to all those being assaulted would be: Please start speaking out widely. Read, learn, inform yourself on the subjects Judge Anna shares. Assert your inviolability as a sovereign, free, independent resident of your particular state, not as a “subject of the British Crown.” (See below.) Create your own Declaration of Political Status. Create your own Notarized Affidavit, spelling out the timelined experience of your Covert Assault. Write Open Letters to the Heads of the United Nations, Intel Agencies, Military/Airforce, US Federal Government, all those corporations, hospitals, and agencies you feel or have learned are behind your being used and abused as a subject of Public Abuse, Concealed Electronic Assault/Monitoring, and Criminal Covert Experimentation. Name all agencies, corporations, hospitals, name all agency/corporation/hospital heads.

I will continue to share information here as to where to send those Notarized Declarations and Affidavits. I am also happy to post here any Open Letters to Military/Intel you would like to publish. My own will be forthcoming shortly. 

Also see below:Remind the Provost Marshals and the Joint Chiefs who you are and of their obligation under the Lieber Code and the Geneva Protocols of 1949, Laws of War Volume II, Article 3. Be sure to also remind them that you are a non-combatant Protected Person who has been assaulted and mischaracterized by officers of the British Crown and undeclared foreign agents acting in favor of the British Crown.”

Please share this information widely so all those whose basic rights are being taken away today can read and learn about what the actual situation is today in the US as it affects them–and in many other countries too (see Judge Anna’s Affidavit of Probable Cause to see how this relates worldwide–a post about that here)–and please take action, as advised below. The more of us who become aware and take action, the faster we can reclaim our rights to a peaceful existence and take back our countries from this incredibly criminal stranglehold on all of our lives and communities.

We are entering a New Year soon. Let it be one of determined and purposeful action!

How  you can help us make Peace and real Freedom in the world.

by Anna Von Reitz

PLEASE—- as you can all see, I am dealing with issues on a truly planetary scale. I CANNOT take time out to help with millions of individual foreclosures, custody cases, and other outrages.

I have to keep focused on educating everyone to help themselves at the same time that I have to keep the pressure on people like John Kerry and Ban Ki-Moon and Karen Hudes to make sure that continued misrepresentations of the American People are stopped and the plans of the predatory banking interests are foiled.

We are currently working with a relatively small pool of expert workers, limited resources, and a monumental task. What I ask of each of you is this:

(1) Read the material I have already placed before you to get a grasp of the history and issues and the nature of “money”. Spread the news. Share your new knowledge and the discoveries you will make yourselves with your family, friends, members of your communities, and yes, “the government”. We all need to wake up and start working together to put an end to the criminality which has infested the banking industry, the courts, and the corporations providing “governmental services”.
http://www.annavonreitz.com

(2) Organize as unincorporated counties on the land — announce in the local papers a Public Meeting to organize the __________County, each Man or Woman wishing to reclaim your birthright status as one of the “free sovereign and independent people of the United States” needs to swear out a Declaration of Political Status saying exactly that, the situation needs to be discussed, the roster of vacant Public Offices needs to be presented and clearly distinguished from any corporate offices (meaning “Sheriff On the Land” and “Common Law County Court Judge”, etc.), take nominations from the floor, and hold elections. Also start drafting your Grand Jury and Trial Jury pools from among the landowners that show up. Once you have your unincorporated County officials elected, bonded, and sworn in, start networking with other counties to do the same thing at the State level. Those who have already done this for their counties are putting together a helpful website to help, but there is nothing stopping you from moving forward on your own, just as they did. You are acting under the Public Law of the Land, including The Constitution for the united States of America, the various Statehood Compacts and Commonwealth Trusts, the United States Statutes-at-Large and American Common Law.

(3) Always bear in mind that the people now functioning in private offices and providing “governmental services” are virtually all as clueless as you were when you started. They believe— mostly in Good Faith— that they have been elected to valid public office representing the land jurisdiction and the people of the United States. The Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act and the International Organizations Immunities Act and Judge Ridgeway’s Admission in Rod Class’s litigations in North Carolina should convince them otherwise in short order. From there, you must bring them along and help ensure that they are in compliance with the Public Law and respecting the separation of powers— that is, separation of jurisdiction yielding all jurisdiction over the living people and their assets to the Common Law Courts and officers of the Public Law, while they may retain jurisdiction over corporations and federal employees (including “federal State of State and federal County” employees, and Federal United States “inhabitants” who are British Crown subjects present on our land for the purpose of providing “essential governmental services” per Article IV, Section 3, Clause 2.

Bear in mind that the “inhabitants” all have Equal Civil Rights to yours by agreement of the Congress which acts as a Plenary Oligarchy ruling over the federal employees and inhabitants. There is no reason to be impolite or mean to these people, most of whom are well-intentioned.

Steps to Take, Who To Notify, What to Be Aware Of

by Anna Von Reitz

Please, folks, be aware that I have a website where letters, etc., are archived and available to read. There is a lot of information there. There is also a complete documented historical time line of the fraud — “You Know Something Is Wrong When…..An American Affidavit of Probable Cause” is available on Amazon, as is Disclosure 101 that provides even more background and references.

www.annavonreitz.com

You all have to make the effort to read and educate yourselves or you will be like sheep to the slaughter for these criminals. I cannot do it for you. You have to get on your own two feet and look and think and get moving for yourselves.

There are a few effective things you can do— and the most effective is to realize that whenever you incorporate anything it is removed from the Law of the Land and slides under the Satanic Law of the Sea.

So everything that you do and any organizations that you form MUST NOT BE INCORPORATED.

The next thing that you need to know is that foreign criminals have seized upon your own given name that is yours by birthright, a gift to you from your biological parents—and they have copyrighted and claimed (falsely) to be the owners of it. They have then used that claim and created numerous “fictional personas” and operated them “in your NAME”—–without your knowledge, without your consent. All those legal fiction entities are corporations—- so, they are subject to the Satanic Law of the Sea.

They are “legal fictions”—- lies.
And who is the Father of All Lies?

Your states and counties are all on dry land. They are all unincorporated associations created by your natural body politic as “free sovereign and independent people of the United States”. All these things that are operating “in the name of” your counties and states are corporations and franchises of corporations. They all operate under the Law of the Sea, not the Law of the Land.

They aren’t your counties or your states. You’ve merely been hoodwinked into assuming and believing that they are.

So, this is a political status issue. Your political status determines which law forms you are owed and your political status has been misrepresented, falsified for profit—– and your records have been falsified, too.

As a living man you have many guarantees confirming that your right to choose your political status is yours alone and that no government has any right to question, alter, or change it.

In this country you can by birthright be one of the “free sovereign and independent people of the United States” or an “inhabitant”— a British Crown Subject or Federal United States Citizen— (Definitive Treaty of Peace, often called the Treaty of Paris, 1783).

You are born free, sovereign, and independent, but within hours of birth undeclared British agents get your uninformed Mother to sign undisclosed contracts changing your status to that of a British Crown subject. You remain in that “presumed” status the rest of your life unless you object.

It’s past time to object–object to the United Nations, which if it is worth a hoot in Hell will impose upon its members— Britain and the Federal United States — which have both signed onto the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Universal Right of Self-Declaration.

If any employee of the “Federal Government Corporation” accosts you or causes you trouble, remind them that you are one of the “free sovereign and independent people of the United States” and that you are guaranteed their loyalty, Good Faith, and Service by the Treaty of Peace, 1783, The Constitution for the united States of America Article IV, Section 3, Clause 2, the Expatriation Act of 1868, the Lieber Code, the Geneva Convention Protocols of 1949 – Laws of War Volume II, Article 3, the United Nation’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Universal Right of Self-Declaration.

If they haul you into one of their private corporate franchise tribunals masquerading as a “County” or “State” Court of any kind, ignore their demand to “state your name” and observe on the record that every fact that falls from your mouth concerning you is testimony of a living Witness having the only first-hand knowledge of any fact concerning you. State that you are a living man (or woman) not operating any franchise and inquire if the court has any jurisdiction over one of the “free sovereign and independent people of the United States” defined by the Definitive Peace Treaty of 1783, Article III, and if it is competent to function in the jurisdiction of American Common Law and provide adjudication as required by Amendment VII of The Constitution for the united States of America”? And if not, by what possible stretch of the imagination are they proposing to address you at all?

If they persist, ask them if they are aware that American Common Law Courts are functioning in your state on the land, and that Milligan Ex Parte forbids fhem any further public function?

If they persist, ask if they are aware that you are being forced to act as General Executor of your ESTATE under duress and against your published Will? (The Constitution for the united States of America)

Remember that you can never get into trouble by asking questions on the record, but you can send a judge in one of these “courts” straight to Hell.
Remind the Provost Marshals and the Joint Chiefs who you are and of their obligation under the Lieber Code and the Geneva Protocols of 1949, Laws of War Volume II, Article 3. Be sure to also remind them that you are a non-combatant Protected Person who has been assaulted and mischaracterized by officers of the British Crown and undeclared foreign agents acting in favor of the British Crown.

Next, contact the members of the “US Congress”—- bearing in mind that these people do not “represent” you in any way, shape or manner— but ARE obligated to provide you with “essential governmental services” under Article IV, Section 3, Clause 2. If they don’t do it and do it in Good Faith, they are acting in treason and subject to the self-executing 3rd and 4th Clause of their own corporate “Constitution’s” 14th Amendment and are subject to the immediate loss of their office.

All these Bar Association Members, all these government employees, are the direct responsibility of this corporate Board of Directors and they are being ALLOWED to run amok on your land and to falsify your political status and cause you trouble and make false claims against you and your property assets.

Call them down on the carpet and spank their asses red. They are your servants— literally— and they have gone mad. Tell them very explicitly that you expect a prompt correction of all records related to you and your estate including the “infant decedant estate” that was improperly created “in your name”, the return of title to your property owed to you free and clear, the copyright to your given name, and the unblocking of your accounts.

Pronto.

Remind them of the Public Law — 2 United States Statute-at-Large 153, which clearly and explicitly lays out the duty of performance required to change the political status of any of the “free sovereign and independent people of the United States” to that of a Federal United States inhabitant.

Remind them that that duty has not been performed. Ever.

Remind them that the corporate “Congress” acted in gross fraud and conflict of interest amounting to treason when they claimed to establish a fixed rate of interest between their own private script, the so-called “Federal Reserve Note” and the United States Dollar— facilitating the exchange of our labor, our gold and silver, and our other resources for worthless I.O.U’s that were discharged by the abusive bankruptcy of the Federal Reserve System and by their own consummately dirty hands.

Remind them that thanks to more criminal fraud you have never received the remedies that were promised by HJR 192 and the related public statutes.

Remind them that both the Federal United States and the Washington, DC Municipality are their unique responsibility, not ours. Remind them that their Federal Reserve Note is their responsibility, not ours. Remind them that as they purloined our goods and our labor and gave it to the Pope and to the Queen under conditions of deceit and fraud and self-interest, it is now apparent to whom they should turn for succor and relief and for the payment of all debts related to their Federal Reserve Notes.

And if the Pope and the Queen refuse to return the favor of sharing the ill-gotten loot and bail their rumps out, we will have no reason whatsoever for not joining the defrauded Russians and Chinese in wiping the whole brood of robbers and murderers who have participated in this grotesque betrayal of our trust off the face of the Earth.

Remind them all that their only other possible source of help happens to be the very same “free sovereign and independent people of the United States” they have so arrogantly and gratuitously betrayed and whom they have defrauded and mischaracterized and enslaved and harrassed and lied to and sent their revenue agents after while pretending that we are or ever were British Crown subjects.

We Americans are good moral people, trusting, honest people— and we know how to forgive debts. God knows, we’ve forgiven and forgiven and forgiven debts owed to us all around the world, debts of blood, debts of honor, debts of gold, debts of every kind, shape, sort, and description we have forgiven. There is no reason to think that we have changed our character. But we have been betrayed by Breach of Trust and without the most abject and sincere kind of repentance backed up by action, there can be no forgiveness of this circumstance.

These are facts that were presented to Benedict XVI and which Francis also knows. These are facts that have been presented to the United Nations. These are facts that have been presented to all the nations of the world. The Holy See has already given its answer and settled the Seal of Saint Peter upon my forehead—ask Francis to deny it. The Pope has opened his storehouses, and now it remains for the Queen, Jacob Rothschild, his minions, David Rockefeller and his minions, the Committee of 300, and all their corporations—not us— to pay off the debts of the Federal United States and the Washington, DC Municipality, or face criminal prosecution and liquidation for fraud by the People of the United States, Canada, Australia, Great Britain, Scotland, Ireland, France, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, New Zealand……Brazil, India, Russia and China.

This criminality has gone on far longer than long enough. We have all been abused and we have all been defrauded. It is now time for all the people around the world to realize that we have a common enemy in the form of a dishonest banking system and dishonest men running the banking system, assisted by clueless and corrupt politicians.

It is also time for all men of goodwill and moral character to stand up and insist that these functions be cleaned up, these phony debts be erased, and that a new and honest banking system providing true planetary liquidity be instituted without further delay.

An honest banking system does not depend on banks nor on gold nor on any specific commodity. An honest banking system admits that there are only two things of value on this Earth: labor—which includes our energy, creativity and inventiveness—and natural resources. THAT is the backing for all economies and all spending and all value on this planet and no honest man will ever pretend otherwise.

An honest banking system does not depend on brand names of money— yen, dollars, rubles, “federal reserve notes” or any other such nonsense.

An honest banking system admits that every living man, woman, and child, has great intrinsic value—beyond measure in terms of any credit system–and that we are all literally OWED all the food, housing, water, transportation, education, medical care, and everything else that we can ever legitimately need.

This truth is universal. It matters not whether you are Muslim or Jew, an American or a Chinese.

An honest banking system is in our control, literally. It is not lorded over by any supposed “elite”. It is overseen directly by the people operating in their own countries and marketplaces day by day, and is exercised through the choices they individually make regarding what they invest in.

In an honest banking system all men and women have money to invest in the things they care about—-not what will make a “profit” because profit is not the object of an honest banking system — promoting what you care about is the object of an honest banking system: life, health, family, community, kindness…..

Spread the word. We are wide awake, seven billion against a few million criminals, most of whom are so clueless they don’t even know they are acting in a criminal fashion.

Inform them. And if they turn away from their sins, forgive them and invite them in to join the Brotherhood of Man.

Judge Anna von Reitz: There Are Two Systems of Law in This Country

Re-posted, with thanks, and in the interest of spreading the word, from Paulstramer.net. Please check in there for updated articles and posts on “what is really going on behind the scenes in the patriot movement in America, including solutions from Oathkeepers, Anna Von Reitz, Constitutional Sheriffs, Richard Mack, and many more people who are leading the charge to restore America to freedom and peace.”

This post below by Judge Anna is in response to a recent Snopes article calling into question the recent commercial lien placed by her and a group of people challenging government crimes and calling for arrests, as well as her stated status as a judge. Here Judge Anna discusses the Court system of Common Law versus the Federal Court system, and the historic nature of American citizenship as twofold–free independent people and inhabitants–in a context where language determines status. 

The lien document in pdf format can be found here, and is educative both in itself and in its modeling of/and information on an affidavit, which is a notarized document and a prime statement or declaration of facts in any situation of injustice, which, if I’m reading it right, is the first step and a means of obtaining legal remedy for injustice or crime under Common Law.

This may therefore be of interest to those unable to gain remedy through the Federal court system, and who are striving to explore Common Law as a means to obtain justice.

A Reply to “Snopes” and All Others from Anna Von Reitz

Yes, an Alaskan state judge HAS called upon the US Marshals and the rest of the “law enforcement agencies” to do their real job, and I am in a position to confirm it, as I am that judge. Your ignorance is no excuse in this matter.

There are two systems of law in this country, and it is long past time for you all to learn the facts.

When The Constitution was adopted there was already a Common Law Court System in this country that had been established for over 200 years. The Constitution created an additional “federal” court system for the needs of the “federal government”—- that court system is obligated to function in two venues only: administrative (Article I) and maritime/admiralty (Article III).

As you can see for yourself if you ever wake up and bother to look, the Seventh Amendment very clearly stipulates that ALL matters involving living people and their property assets in excess of $20 are to be decided under Common Law and as you can also readily find out Erie Railroad v. Thompkins (1938) there is no such thing as Federal Common Law.

Since all the “States of States” incorporated and adopted the Uniform Commercial Code circa 1965, they have operated as “federal States of States” as defined in the UCC Definitions Section. All these things calling themselves “States” — except for one—are actually corporate franchises of the parent corporations located in Delaware or Washington, DC, respectively, and are private, for-profit organizations no different from General Electric or Macy’s and having NO public office, authority, oath, or bond at all. They are merely “governmental services corporations” in the business of doing what? Providing governmental services to you as a consumer.

All these “courts” you see calling themselves various fictitious names like the “SUPREME COURT FOR THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA” are operated by members of the American Bar Association— all declared to be foreign agents of the British Crown employed as bill collectors. They are all corporations imposing their services upon you. Both the American Bar Association and the Internal Revenue Service are bill collection agencies employed by Northern Trust, Inc. and both have functioned as foreign crime syndicates on our shores for longer than anyone living can remember.

If “Snopes” were worth a hoot in Hell as a fact checking organization, they would have already discovered all of this and a LOT more, so my advice is to stop taking what a couple liberal Californians have to say about reality as Gospel and start using your own eyes, ears, and minds to check your own facts. Get off your lazy rumps and read the founding documents of this country for yourselves.

Go check out the Definitive Treaty of Peace known as the Treaty of Paris 1783. There you will find that two kinds of people exist in this country—– the “free sovereign and independent people of the United States” (that’s us) and the “inhabitants”—– subjects of the British Crown allowed to “reside” here (the members of the Bar and various other “public servants”) who are obligated under Article IV, Section 3, Clause 2 to provide us with “essential governmental services”.

AFTER you have read the facts for yourselves, check out our sworn and published affidavit of probable cause: “You Know Something Is Wrong When…..An American Affidavit of Probable Cause” which is available on Amazon.

Am I a judge? You’d better believe I am. I am among a handful of actual Common Law Judges in America and where I operate my court—on the land—-no admiralty court has any right to stand (See Milligan Ex Parte, 1866).

I am operating the actual Public Common Law Court required by Amendment VII as part of the American Common Law Continental Court System that predates all “federal” and “territorial” courts by 200 years. I am NOT a member of the Bar Association, and for your information, no actual judge having jurisdiction over the land can be a member of the Bar Association. All members of the Bar owe allegiance to a foreign government and are here by treaty (See Bar Association Treaty of 1947) and are precluded from holding ANY public office by The Constitution. Read it and weep.

William Pawelec: Billions of Microchips Made by Siemens in 1984, Trackable from Space

This video interview of the late William Pawelec by Dr. Steven Greer, referred to in his recent talk on the Secret Government, explored here, has been highlighted in an article this past week (excerpted below) by Dr.Michael Salla of Exopolitics.org, Siemens Implicated in Tracking Forced Labor and Slaves in Space, which explores whistleblower testimony regarding forced labor in space, but also explores Siemens’ role in early manufacture and developing of RFID chip technologies.

(This Disclosure video interview is also linked at The Commonsense Show site, where I recently viewed it; Bill Pawelec, reportedly, was a long-time personal friend of Dave Hodges.)

Many thanks to Dr. Michael Salla, whose article is excerpted below, please visit Exopolitics.org for the full article.

The tiny Siemens chips made in 1984 that he refers to (see below) could be detected and read from a distance of 120 km away, he said. This translates to about 400,000 feet or 75 miles, well above the altitude most commercial jets fly at (30-40,000 feet) or even fighter aircraft (50,000 feet or above), well above the stratosphere and into the thermosphere.

Consider: Low-flying aircraft studding our skies these days, circling our neighborhoods in long low sweeps at night and by day–particularly those neighborhoods hosting activists, citizens, and veterans being c/overtly assaulted in classified Mind Hacking human experimentation projects--flying anywhere from 500 to 3000 feet, or even commercial aircraft flying by steadily in a diverted stream anywhere from 1,000 to 10,000 feet, often reported by those being assaulted as part of aerial stalking scenarios,  would not have any trouble communicating with such long-distance chips.

Of course, other tracking and surveillance technologies are reportedly being used from these airborne platforms too, including Radar, and Remote Neural Monitoring. Remarkable though that microchips of such sophistication have been in existence for more than thirty years now– and important information to have, to show proof that microchips that can be read from thousands of feet or many tens of miles away have indeed been developed, fine-tuned, and exist.

Excerpt:

“Prior to 2001, Pawelec decided to reveal what he knew about deep black projects that he believed were hiding advanced technologies from the U.S. public. He gave an interview to Dr. Steven Greer with the strict instruction that it would only be published after his death. He died on May 22, 2007 and the video was published posthumously on December 14, 2010.

Among his many revelations is information concerning the development of the first electronic RFID tracking chips that were developed as early as 1979 according to Pawelec. He explained the history of their development, and the role his Denver-based company played in setting up meetings with government agencies, which were interested in using the chips for security purposes.

In his video interview with Greer, Pawelec said:

At the time in the security industry, a lot of us had a lot of concerns about tracking and locating people that had been kidnapped. Particularly what was going on in Europe at the time where we were having NATO officers, even the Prime Minister of Italy, kidnapped … These people were drained [of information] or they were brutalized or both… One of the goals of the industry was to develop technology that would allow us to track these people or locate them quickly.

He said that the tracking chips, which were very small and shaped like a pill, had multiple functions:

chip

Image from Wikipedia

Now this particular pill shaped device, very minute, had a lot of flexibility in its capabilities. It was basically almost a transponder. You could send a frequency to it and it would respond back with its unique number which could not be changed once the chip was made. Yet there were a lot of capabilities that could be added to this chip such as monitoring temperature, blood pressure, pulse, and even wave forms out of the brain.

Pawelec said that soon after demonstrating an even more sophisticated lithium niobate chip in 1984, which could be tracked from a distance of 120 kilometers in space, he discovered a small Silicon Valley company had been set up to manufacture billions of them. He learned that “after they had made billions and billions of these little chips” the factory was shut down a year later, and all information about the chips disappeared.

Pawelec said that the small company responsible for making the billions of tiny chips “was a division of a rather major European electronics firm that had the plant. Siemens.”

Pawelec went on to describe how his colleague, Bob, the former head of security for the U.S. State Department, was assassinated in Nairobi because he was getting too close to learning about the people that had acquired control over the tracking chips and had built billions of them for an unknown purpose.

According to Pawelec, the people behind Bob’s assassination had infiltrated the U.S. military industrial complex at its highest level, and could intimidate and silence anyone.

Pawelec’s testimony suggests that the Siemen’s corporation had acquired the rights and control over the tracking chip technology, built billions of them in less than a year using a U.S. subsidiary, and then arranged for the local manufacturing plant to close with all information about the tracking chips now gone.

Importantly, the Siemen’s corporation was associated with a powerful force embedded within the U.S. military industrial complex, which was intent on hiding the true purpose of the chips. This hidden force possessed the power to remove anyone who got too close to learning the truth, even the head of security at a U.S. Embassy.

It is worth repeating that the main function of the tiny chips, according to Pawelec, was to track people, and even monitor their key physiological processes over large distances. This leads to the question, why would the Siemen’s corporation need billions of chips to monitor people over large distances?”

Civil Lawsuit Charging Medical Malpractice Filed in Kentucky: Non-Consensual Human Experimentation with Directed-Energy Weapons

New page recording a civil lawsuit charging medical malpractice in a decade-long case of non-consensual human experimentation, posted by permission of the plaintiff, David Scott Baker. This lawsuit was filed on 10 November 2015 and was posted by the author at this site recently in a comment to the post on “Targeted Individuals” being non-consensual subjects in clandestine operations of human experimentation currently being run covertly in the United States of America by a joint DoD/Intel/DoJ/Academic faction, and is being moved here to its own post.

To understand what is happening in the US today, to see how unethical medical doctors, psychiatrists, and hospital staff are colluding with covert Military and Special Ops to run Directed-Energy weapons-testing and human experimentation programs abusing patients at their hospitals, in their care, please read the text of this lawsuit.

 Of note: “18. Plaintiff spoke of his ordeal and the use of 21st century war weapons on innocent citizen victims at the June 25, 2015 Louisville-Metro City Council meeting and two Air Force officers saw fit to attend this meeting. The subject of Plaintiff’s address to the City Council was the only issue spoken of at that meeting that had to do with the United States’ military.”

Abel Danger: Nightmare Unfolding in Oregon – Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Torching Land…

Something odd appears to be happening in Oregon. Ranchers accused of setting fire to BLM land are reporting BLM having set fire to their land. Disturbing to hear of cattle being trapped by fire. Is this connected to Agenda 2030, and private land being seized in many Western states? (As reported by various sources, including on Youtube by Dahboo7.)  Covered in detail by Abel Danger.

The Nightmare Unfolding in Oregon – Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Torching Land Alleged to Have Killed 80 Head of Cattle – Those Who Oppose the BLM and Courts Are Considered “Terrorists”, “Enemy Combatants” and “Belligerents” – Federal Bureaucracies Building Tyrannical Fiefdoms (BLM Budget: $1.2 Billion w/11,600 Employees)? – BLM Brings You “Good Tidings” and Season’s Greetings

What a nightmare from the criminal cabal occupying and usurping our country at every level! This poor ranching family, the Hammonds in Oregon, have been targeted by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and are being driven from their land by FIRE! Please watch this short video posted below to see photo evidence of the killing of 80 cows and burning down a house as well as all other structures on the Hammond Ranch. Describing the destruction is a Bundy son of the Bundy Ranch in Nevada who were previously targeted.

Subject: HAMMONDS – Video of BLM lit on This Fire was Lit by BLM

Dear Friends,

I told you I would keep you updated on the Hammonds. This BLM lit fire reportedly killed more than 80 head of cattle, put ranchers trying to save their cattle in extreme danger, fences and power poles and threatened the town of Frenchglen. Please watch this video:

BLM Destroying Ranches by Fire

“We hope all are having a wonderful season of worship and celebration to the Lord and his coming. We wish that we did not have to report these matters during this season.” – Hammond Family

It would not be the first time in history that the mechanisms to bring about justice, became the tool to implement despotism. The third president of the United States, Thomas Jefferson said; “Law is often but the tyrants will, and always so when it violates the rights of an individual”. Let us not forget that the intent of laws and the court systems are to protect individuals against criminals, those who will take life, liberty or property. Never in any way did Dwight & Steven Hammond commit a crime, they did not take the life, the liberties or property from any individual. On the other hand the U.S. Government, through the court system, have taken extensive amounts of the Hammond’s property and for the second time they plan to take way Dwight & Steven’s liberties. Who are the victims? Who are the criminals?

People in Harney County and across the United States are honestly asking; Did Dwight and Steven Hammond receive justice, or is there something terribly wrong going on?

Dr. Harold Mandel: Ongoing Human Rights Abuse with Intentional False Diagnoses of Mental Illness, Electronic Warfare, Blacklists, Psychiatric Drugs, & More from US Govt/Police/Psychiatrists

Re-posted, with thanks, from Dr. Harold Mandel’s website. In the face of widespread Mainstream Media neglect of ongoing covert human experimentation with EMR/acoustic/scalar directed-energy weapons, remote neural monitoring technologies, and others, by DoD/DoJ/Academic/Intel Agency factions, where nonconsensual experimentees are being “disappeared” by wrongful psychiatric diagnoses from colluding psychiatrists, all issues of profound concern at this site, it is vital to note and publish the growing awareness and acknowledgment of this 21st-century atrocity in our midst by educated and aware professionals, including physicians.

From his website: Dr. Harold Mandel is a general physician and online medical reporter with special interests in natural health care and human rights of patients. He is also a member of the Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR). The CCHR is a nonprofit mental health watchdog which has helped to enact more than 150 laws protecting individuals from abusive or coercive practices.

Breaking Mental Health Care Human Rights Abuse Terror Alert

 Psychopathic Monsters Rule Over The Minds Of The USA: The US feds, cops, psychiatrists & their personal judges are “psychopathic monsters” who have been sadistically torturing human rights activists, poor people and even children 24/7 with intentional false diagnoses of mental illness, electronic warfare, their poisonous arsenal of psychiatric drugs, beatings, false arrests in their prison death chambers, blacklists, and incarcerations in their mental hospital concentration camps. All along the ignorant barbarians responsible for all of this insist they are the only truly civilized people on the planet!

 This alert is simply an opinion and is not based on any scientific studies keeping in mind there are no biological markers for the diagnoses of the psychiatrists which are therefore also not based on scientific studies!

Judge Anna von Reitz: The Jurisdiction of the Land

(Re-posted, in excerpt, with thanks, from PaulStramer.net.)

Two new posts from Judge Anna von Reitz at PaulStramer.net, please visit there for the whole posts. The first part of one post is below.

Please note, this information is related to the affidavit published by Judge Anna and the recent commercial lien filed, in relation to addressing the still mostly hidden status of the US as a corporation and restoring the government of the people, by the people, for the people, via Common Law courts. Partly covered here in The Truth About US Govt. series, an ongoing series. Please visit Judge Anna’s site for more information, and to read all her writings.

What is the plan? Show me step by step, is the question we get most often.

From the desk of Judge Anna Von Reitz

Big Lake Alaska

The answer is simple— the counties have to operate as counties on the land again, that is, as UNINCORPORATED Body Politics.  Any time you incorporate something, you move it off the jurisdiction of the land and into the jurisdiction of the sea—- and therein lies the rub. 

 Out of 50 “States” and 3100 counties all of them have incorporated and are therefore officially operating as “federal” franchises of the DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA MUNICIPAL CORPORATION—- like local Burger King franchises.  That does not prohibit any of them from ALSO functioning as states and counties on the land jurisdiction, but we’ve been such clueless dumb clucks that we weren’t aware of any need to do so.  We have been deceived and “assumed” that that “thing” calling itself “Jackson County” or the “County of Jackson” was our lawful county on the land — and that we didn’t HAVE TO do anything more or organize anything or operate any Body Politic other than that. 

 Now you can talk to the incorporated counties and their officers about this situation and encourage them to act in both roles—putting on one hat and singing the corporate song, and then putting on another hat and singing “Yankee Doodle”—- which is what they did for quite a number of years—- but in the end, no man can serve two masters.  It is best to just hold explicit elections for the land offices—- advertise public meetings to organize the county on the land, take nominations for the offices of the land jurisdiction— call your courts, etc., by recognizable names like, “Jackson County Land Office” and “Jackson County Common Law Court” and so on.  At first, everyone has to serve pro bono and as volunteers.  That in no way alters the lawfulness of the office or our actions. 

 And just let the incorporated “County” deal with its watery international issues and “US citizens” which are in reality few and far between. 

 Once you have elected one or two County Judges, a County Sheriff, County Clerk, Bailiff, Coroner, etc., and sworn them in, the Sheriff can in turn (just like John Wayne) swear in as many Deputies on the Land as he needs to enforce the jurisdiction of the land. 

 So what is the jurisdiction of the land?  It’s everything and anything that was not specifically delegated as an enumerated “power”—and responsibility—- of the “federal government”.  ALL other prerogatives are reserved to the States on the Land and the people.

David Kravets/ArsTechnica: The National Security Letter Spy Tool Has Been Uncloaked, And It’s Bad

Re-posted (in excerpt), with thanks, from ArsTechnica.com, please visit there for the full article by journalist David Kravets. Thanks to Michael Krieger of Liberty Blitzkrieg, for pointing to this post.

Thanks also to Nicholas Merrill, president of Calyx Internet Access, who challenged the FBI’s gag order on a National Security Letter he was served for a client’s records, and endured a 11-year legal saga in a First Amendment lawsuit (more on this from Wikipedia) before a judge ordered that the FBI’s specific informational demands be revealed.

****

Excerpt, from start of article:

The National Security Letter (NSL) is a potent surveillance tool that allows the government to acquire a wide swath of private information—all without a warrant. Federal investigators issue tens of thousands of them each year to banks, ISPs, car dealers, insurance companies, doctors, and you name it. The letters don’t need a judge’s signature and come with a gag to the recipient, forbidding the disclosure of the NSL to the public or the target.

For the first time, as part of a First Amendment lawsuit, a federal judge ordered the release of what the FBI was seeking from a small ISP as part of an NSL. Among other things, the FBI was demanding a target’s complete Web browsing history, IP addresses of everyone a person has corresponded with, and records of all online purchases, according to a court document unveiled Monday. All that’s required is an agent’s signature denoting that the information is relevant to an investigation.

“The FBI has interpreted its NSL authority to encompass the websites we read, the Web searches we conduct, the people we contact, and the places we go. This kind of data reveals the most intimate details of our lives, including our political activities, religious affiliations, private relationships, and even our private thoughts and beliefs,” said Nicholas Merrill, who was president of Calyx Internet Access innicholasmerrill New York when he received the NSL targeting one of his customers in 2004.

The FBI subsequently dropped demands for the information on one of Merrill’s customers, but he fought the gag order in what turned out to be an 11-year legal odyssey just to expose what the FBI was seeking. He declined to reveal the FBI’s target.

The NSL got a major boost in the wake of the 2001 terror attacks, as it became part of the USA Patriot Act. Between 2003 and 2005, the FBI issued 143,074 NSLs according to a Justice Department inspector general report.

Former Marine Corps and CIA Officer Robert D. Steele: What You Need to Know is I’m a Spy Saying Spying Doesn’t Work

“It’s costing you 1.2 billion dollars a week to produce the President’s daily brief, for a guy who can’t read.”

“We have a military-industrial complex today that profits from Secrecy and War, and it does not profit from efficiency and peace.”

“War is a racket, and the only reason it’s happening is because the American public is lethargic.”

This rather inspiring video (about 10 minutes long) posted on Youtube by Youtube user sonygvf is from 2010 and shows Robert D. Steele, a former CIA officer, who has also worked in the Marine Corps and in Counter Intelligence, speaking with passion on the issues facing the USA today–of a broken Constitution, a failed Federal Government, an unwieldy and intrusive Intelligence complex, complete failure of the media; and pointing out that we are in a historic moment right now, when bloggers and citizen journalists have a tremendous opportunity to focus on an issue and work with persistence to blog, expose, and bring it out into the open. He echoes my conviction that in the presence of a Failed Media–as we are currently–it’s up to us to speak out. Structured citizen journalism will hold the criminals accountable, and we must hold them accountable. We must speak out.

“Public intelligence and influence is about to take off. We are about to bury Rule by Secrecy. Civil affairs is the focal point. The Intelligence guys need to go back in their box.”

“If you bloggers self-organize, and attach yourselves like leeches to specific issues, corporations, organizations, challenges, whatever, you will be the Intelligence minutemen of this century. The power is in your hands.”

“I think we’re at a turning-point. I think we’re at the very beginning of a historic tidal shift in power, restoring the Constitution.”
