Very well summarized and the logic, and actual application of law, is spot on IMO. Those taking up physical positions in government, but are not fulfilling the ONLY duty of the positions of government which is the protection and defense of the sovereign people and their property (highest form of right a man or woman has). This man or woman is openly defying their duty in said position and as such are directly culpable and a perpetrator of trespass. The result is they can be personally held to account for the trespass with facts, findings, evidence and conclusions of law in a court of their peers (trial-by-jury - NOT jury trial) for the trespass in controversy of a value greater than $20 to obtain a decision on remedy and restitution that fits the crime of trespass proven. The best part is this must occur in the jurisdiction of the trespass which is the district and county of the man or woman who was harmed by trespass. This would include your local doctor pushing the bio-weapon medical countermeasure, the nurse, the medical office manager, the lawyer OR attorney (be cautious as "lawyer", "attorney", and "counsel" all have very different meanings), CPS (child protective services) people, corporate officers of companies, and the list goes on.

As noted, this is one way to handle the mess. If all the minions received notices for trespass at the lowest levels first and we all worked up the chain, it would send a message as well.

List of possible trespass by way of (examples with definition):

1) Harm - "physical or mental damage; to damage physically or mentally : to cause harm"

2) Damage to Person - "Bodily or physical injury directly resulting from wrongful act, whether lying in trespass or trespass on the case, and does not include torts directly affecting the person but affecting only the feelings and reputation."

3) False Witness - usually a lie that results in the commitment of fraud by default and/or possibly theft.

4) Theft (of business, property, job, etc...)

extortion - "Illegal use of one's official position or powers to obtain property, funds, or patronage. The act or an instance of extorting something, as by psychological pressure. An excessive or exorbitant charge."

5) coercion - "Compulsion; constraint; compelling by force or arms. It may be actual, direct, or positive, as where physical force is used to compel act against one's will, or implied, legal or constructive, as where one party is constrained by subjugation to other to do what his free will would refuse. It may be actual or threatened exercise of power possessed, or supposedly possessed.

6) Fraud - "An intentional perversion of truth for the purpose of inducing another in reliance upon it to part with some valuable thing belonging to him or to surrender a legal right; a false representation of a matter of fact, whether by words or by conduct, by false or misleading allegations, or by concealment of that which should have been disclosed, which deceives and is intended to deceive another so that he shall act upon it to his legal injury. Any kind of artifice employed by one person to deceive another. A generic term, embracing all multifarious means which human ingenuity can devise, and which are resorted to by one individual to get advantage over another by false suggestions or by suppression of truth, and includes all surprise, trick, cunning, dissembling, and any unfair way by which another is cheated.

Quick note on the definition of property: "Something exclusive to i, from all others in society; highest right a man or woman has, exclusive to all others in society". Taking property is a trespass by way of theft, for example.

here it is diverted hydrocarbon combos modified from toxic waste to hurl over fencing, run fogger lines in parks and forests to contaminate land those participating want to further. They bury storage tanks, graft houses, modify wastes to run thru pumps and fog neighborhoods with central and perpheral targets. A kind of forced drugging people without their awareness if done slow and methodically. There are huge networks totally devoted to this form of rape, reaching into homes as a VOC volatile organic compound weapon. Fronts to install in trees, grafting into landscapes, with tankers that re-fill tanks, some in stealth by night, others with septic tankers, termite ortho and terminex labels painted to tanks. Providing amenities like refrigerators, stoves, cars, house payments to be part of the groups. How they get recruited is not known, but police and deputies, ex prisoners, a whole gamut of characters but with libel slanders and revenge for their lives. They buy houses like grapes, provisioning, rigging. A plastic floating particle that travels lighter than water and highly reactive, the game it playing normal whilst gassing, turning valves off, then coming out, they work is small groups nearby each other, the strategy of using air currents to drift the plastic particle clouds onto everyone, thing, etc peace out

This is very good reasoning. I believe it applies to every person/group/entity which claims sovereign immunity. BIS is a bank. What part of its legitimate charter as a bank allows them to control governments, people, causing crimes against humanity. BMGF is chartered as a charitable entity. What part of being a legitimate charitable entity allow war crimes such as sterilization and murder? And so on.

Even if the psychopaths put their charter as--we can commit any crime and we cannot be prosecuted for it, well who cares. That's not a legitimate legal document.

As they don't openly say it, we can go by their charters and see if that is what they are engaged in doing. The crimes are not covered in their charter and they have no immunity for those crimes. They should be sued in their personal capacity for fraud, murder, torture, genocide and crimes against humanity.

So I just read that WEF is working w/interpol. As I see it, the WEF is contracting w/governments, governmental agencies and government workers for the purpose of committing crimes.

They are a "think" tank, As such they have no authority to demand governments commit any act, let alone criminal acts such as genocide, maiming, theft of property, restriction of movement, etc.

Governments may not lawfully commit genocide and crimes against humanity. By accepting the WEF's invitation to commit crimes against their own citizens they forfeit all legitimacy and each person who has agreed to work with the WEF should be charged in their personal capacity.

Meanwhile the charter of the WEF as a think tank should be stripped. They are engaged in fraud against their investors and putting investors at risk because those investors are paying for criminal activity of the most serious and heinous kind. Then, each of the members of the WEF should be charged for crimes against humanity.

That there were and are no autopsies done on supposed "Covid deaths" when what was being touted as "Covid" was supposedly a "unique viral pathogen" illustrates a pre-planned cover-up and fraud.

In the past when there were deaths caused by what was considered to be a novel disease the medical and scientific establishment would investigate through autopsies in order to understand both origins and treatments.

Why not with "Covid?" In fact they mandated that autopsies NOT be done. I think the answer is pretty obvious.

That there are no (or few) autopsies being done on "sudden deaths" and the numerous instances of post-vaxx deaths from strokes/heart attacks etc., given the frequency with which they are happening, illustrates the same dynamics at play.

This is purposeful withholding of information in the face of potential criminal acts and again points to cover-up, fraud and criminal conspiracy.

Read to the bottom. She’s being serious when she says to “Pray the Rosary”

It is THE weapon, according to Padre Pio

We’re dealing with deep evil, demonic.

I wish I still had Rosary. I was baptized catholic but was taken to every denomination church as a kid, and promised if I made a wish in a new church it would come true :-). I loved my courtesy Aunt! But I of course fell away for a long time, and I have a big issue with Pope Francis...love Vigano...but my great uncle was a priest...and his story is a bit horrifying. Since the pandemic and a change of rectors, I am not going to any church now...I've had it with the lot of them. In my area they all folded and went to Zoom. That made me snap. Jesus cured the lepers and healed people...but not our churches?

Maybe I can find a rosary online to pray.

Please spend some of the money you want to donate to legal cases on getting a really nice Rosary for yourself.

https://www.rosary.com/five-decade-rosaries-c6211/

I just bought some as gifts for others for Christmas, and it was such a pleasure looking at all the beautiful different stones and settings, and thinking about the recipients and trying to get them something that would be right for them. Neither of the recipients are currently Catholic, but they both valued the gifts, and keep them nearby just to look at, and in case they want to begin reciting the prayers.

I keep praying for their conversion, at the time and in the way that God wills, even if it’s decades from now, and for the world’s protection and guidance through and past these terrible crises, and for so many other things.

Obviously there are the "traditional" prayers associated with the Rosary.

One can also use them for other prayers. I've heard people just saying "I love you, Jesus" through the 5 decades.

Got to learn to crawl, before walking.

Some use the Rosary with breathing exercises and meditation.

I could also see praying "Come, Holy Spirit" or reciting Psalms.

What is important is having downtime and trying to foster a relationship with God.

You know who takes the Rosary seriously? People who hate God and hate the church. Don't believe it?

Look at the demoniacs who have had children arrested and harassed for praying the Rosary on sidewalks, the signs that read "Keep your Rosaries off my ovaries" (like, what?!?) and all the demon-inspired that steal tabernacles and consecrated hosts in order that they defile them. Sadly, the satanists, in their quest for power, seem to understand the Supernatural power of the Church and the sacraments better than most Catholics.

Keep on keeping on. God bless

It's become such a meditative, reflective habit for me, and I misplace the beads so often, that I often just use my fingers.

Francis has many detractors, but having left the ship in the past, I won't get off again because the Captain is awful. Viganó is a good shepherd - and sorry about your not-so-great uncle. Pray for his soul. The human family is weakened by sin. It was assaulted by evil since the first bishops around Jesus (Judas) and so on for 2000, yet it goes on.

Agreed 100%. During the plague priests went in to heal and pray and offer sacraments - true warriors. St. Damian https://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=2817 went to a leper colony in the 1800s. Now churches were shuttered for a cold with a 99% survival rate.

The Visions of the poor farmgirl, Katherine Emmerich, bring me a lot of joy and consolation: http://annecatherineemmerich.com as does reading of Padre Pio https://www.padrepiodapietrelcina.com/en/padre-pio-miracles/ and the apparitions of Our Lady at Akita, LaSalette, Fatima, etc.

Keep hope and find the good out there.... it's out there. I'll be praying for you, Duchess

Caveat. Don't do Luminous.

Website is in union with Francis, so just ignore all but Rosary. You can download free or listen online.

Btw, someone said only Catholics pray rosary. Not accurate. Some Protestants do. The danger: Blessed Virgin Mary will lead you right up to Jesus and you could become Catholic if you persevere. one true church. Vigano called Francis a non Catholic Pope he's a Wolf. A smart wolf. Francis is non Catholic NON POPE.

My whole response disappeared

Francis (the real one) went on the 5th Crusade and prayed together

https://www.catholicworldreport.com/2019/09/26/the-crusade-of-saint-francis/

I’ve spent time in Assisi and watched those videos (speaking of videos and Assisi, see “The Assisi Underground”)

There is something of Assisi that transcends borders and culture

I had my misgivings about the Church and JPII, but befriending two of his bodyguards in the late 90s, and spending a lot of time in and around the Vatican, and the reverence those nominally Catholic boys had for JPII, brought my thinking around

He did his best, did a LOT to bring down the USSR and liberate Poland, but ultimately was human with his flaws like the rest of the human family

A baptized Christian, he is still our brother in Christ

You should check out other pre Vatican II sources regarding Saint Francis. He wanted conversion. Catholics cannot pray with non catholics.

John Paul II was treated vastly different by communist countries, many goodies, than Catholic bishops.

The Vatican II church is a lapdog to communists, ever since Roncalli refused hundreds of bishops pleas to condemn communism.

Unfortunately, John, some people haven't yet realized what the actual truth is re: V2, NOM, etc. Praying the rosary, continual prayer, and frequent reading of scripture can substitute for lack of the sacraments if they are unavailable (God does not expect the impossible). Important to understand and frequently utilize Act of Perfect Contrition. As always, scapular and sacramentals are extremely useful. Ideally, one would say it every minute of every day. IMHO, Catholic prelates still supporting any aspect of the narrative must be avoided.

I really like Katherine’s breakdown of how it is apparently LEGAL to be doing what they’re doing but, in fact, the relevant Acts which purport to protect the perpetrators are arguably invalid.

In addition

I can see the argument which Ms Watt summarizes well. Unless there’s precedent in the highest court that those charged with covid-related offences are immune from prosecution, very many individuals are for the high jump. Maybe not today or tomorrow. but in due course, we’re going to nail them!

Ive been following you both as well as Dr Peter McCollough since the beginning. We aren't there yet, but have come a bit farther towards getting the truth out since 2020. I saw you as a guest on Alex Jones recently and was glad you were on that platform as it has many views. I'm also very encouraged that you follow the work of Katherine Watt & Sasha Latypova. I truly believe they and Karen Kingston combined have prolific documentation for legal redress. Many times when you and Dr Bhadki were speaking out in the beginning you both were so impassioned about warning us it brought me to tears, and to deep prayer for the truth to get out, for people to wake up and for your safety. The upside of this plandemic is that it's made me care more deeply for Humanity and the Earth and to pray more. In some ways it's brought a group of us much closer.

Katherine: I like the Aristotelian/Thomistic analysis you made, but I have one reaction/suggestion with respect to the sentence which follows:

"To sum up, if an illegal, immoral war is being waged on the people, (it is) and if it’s legally and morally impossible for a VALID government to do such things, in the course of VALID official duties (it is), then by legal and moral definition, the people doing these things are not of, from or inside the US Government." I think you mean to say 'the people doing these things are not of, from or inside the VALID US government' since they are in fact of, from and inside a rogue entity that appears to have the same 'form" (external characteristics/superstructure) as the VALID government but not the same substance (thought of as the [internal characteristics] such as a functioning constitution, legitimate/just laws consistent with it, as well as with the natural and Divine law). The people doing these things are tools/agents of a rogue/foreign entity that has declared war on humanity. To do this they surreptitiously/covertly displaced the legitimate gov(s).

Well, this is the scary hard truth. A lot of people are stuck in the mindset that if we just convince the public health officials and the medical industrial complex that the "vaccines" are dangerous, we can stop what is going on. That is clearly a dead end. The silver lining in pursuing that avenue is that at least it is educating people that the regulatory agencies do not care at all about how dangerous and ineffective the "vaccine" is.

I still recall hearing that in the Brook Jackson case, Pfizer's defense amounted to something like, 'The FDA knew we were committing fraud, so we aren't responsible.' That didn't make sense to me at the time but it all lines up with what we are actually up against now that you have exposed the real problem at its root. The government agencies are being used to wage war on their people.

I hope all legal avenues are pursued and I hope there is victory. It seems unlikely but it's something to hope for and probably the best alternative to what is possibly ahead of us.

Well, whoever is running this thing is definitely controlling the governmental bodies of society, that are in place to protect us from such attacks. I’m not sure anyone knows who “they” are or how to label them. The Davos crowd? The UN? The WHO? I don’t think any of us knows exactly who is in charge. The import thing is that they have control of all governments and the government agencies are acting on “their” behalf, not ours (as citizens). The government is the conduit for their plans.

We surely are in a pickle aren't we but I do believe good will overcome when enough who know participate in bringing that about. When we hurry up and figure out that 99% of the world is good and just, it will be much easier than we think to eradicate that 1% without hate in our heart but for the love for our fellow humans, children, mothers, fathers, brothers. This horror is unbearable to watch. Only courage with the goal to turn it around will get us through this.

Every elected official must have a surety bond. They take an oath of office that generally says they will uphold the Constitution of the USA … The surety bond plays into that. The surety bond is there to ensure they are financially accountable for their actions. The governmental agency pays the annual fee for the surety bond but the public official is liable for any claims against the bond.

If you file a $500,000 claim against a public official and that claim is considered valid, the surety bond company pays the claim and then goes back to the public official to collect the money.

I think you're on to something there! I think there were several counties that were able to force the school board to resign because of their surety bonds. The problem is, the judges will probably not consider the claim valid.

Katherine, you investigation has been outstanding.

However I think you're after the little fish. This is a global operation, much of it run by the US security state with a slew of patsies. Prosecuting the front people doesn't bring this down, even if you can get the system which is orchestrating this to throw a couple under the bus.

As far as ignoring statistics or whether a "virus" has ever been proven...I don't think ignoring that should be part of any strategy - though you may not want to prove it in court. As far as strange illnesses in 2019 where's your evidence that something very different was occurring. Some people may have been suffering from the installation of 5G (the incidents of so-called pandemic was isolated mostly in urban centers where 5G was in the process of deployment.) I really don't think one should dismiss the all-cause-mortality which pin-points where and when peak deaths occurred and coincided with the injections relative to previous years. These studies are very important to any case.

This was not a health emergency...and strange symptoms can be found for any number of reasons scattered due to fear-factors and a number of proven psychological effects. I wouldn't make that argument in court - but than you seem to have more confidence in the judicial system than I do.

Keeping the system in tact suggests you think that this is just about a "few bad apples". I don't think you do, but that's what you point suggests.

This is a war, and has been for a very long time, but has been escalated over the last few years. I'm uncertain that the people you want to help will be with you or be against you. Communications are entirely under TPTB control.

The "Civil" war killed using today's population 7 million souls. The US Constitution forbade this from happening, and thus FAILED to avoid this horrific carnage. The cases of failure go on and on to this day. I think what Katherine is pointing out, for me, is not that we need to return to the "laws" in the US Constitution, but that in the hierarchical structure of representative government (really oligarchical) there is no way it can be successful.

Such constitutions do not work. It cannot stop the system from circumvention.
