Incredible how the illusions of legal frameworks, justifications, claims, and regulations can persist because of widely held (yet erroneous and felonious) belief—enforced by a system that largely maintains control because the people employed to enforce it benefit from it and trust in supposed legitimacy.

The fate of Hawai’i is like a microcosm of this. In the late 1800’s, Plantation barons plotted with the US govt to overthrow the Queen. These same barons plotted to establish an illegal US territory by fiat. Supposed ‘statehood’ was later voted upon in 1959 by a populace, built on the illegal occupation and overthrow of an established and recognized authority. There is wide recognition and acknowledgement of the illegal overthrow and occupation, even at the level of the UN and the office of the President of the US (Clinton), yet the illegal occupation continues. The US military now lays claim (illegally) to more than half of all land in the islands, but almost no one recognizes this.

Exactly. It's a big illusion - but as long as enough of us don't know and go along - it's perceived as reality.

Happy holiday, TFish!

Thank you, Katherine. I'm sure you are aware of Anna Von Reitz who has been revealing much on maritime laws; the US corporation we think of as our government; and the multiple constitutions, etc., for many years. (Mentioning because she's excellent resource and could likely save you time researching with some topics.)

When I first started listening to her, I thought if this is right (and I believed it was) then we never really had an independent country - that too was a manufacture pysop from the start - we just had a story about being an independent country. Stories fused with emotions produce a lot of juice. (We ran on it a long time, but clearly we're down to fumes.) Inevitably it going to all come out. I thought it would take longer. Here we are.

Despite seeing the value in practical ways -I haven't done the paperwork to get rid of my proof of slavery, birth certificate. Maybe I should. It just, annoys me.

Why should I have to do anything? If they attempted to steal it, using hidden mechanisms, why would I need to wield it back? Knowing what they did should be enough. Why should we agree to their rules; play their game? Isn't that inadveretently conceding that they have power?

Our sovereignty obviously doesn't spring from an institutional body - whether legit or corrupt. What does codification and law have to do with innate rights? They are there only to support a claim that needs no justification. It's self-evident.

We're free men and women. Period. Unquestionable. (Nice to have it stated in the DoI, but not necessary.) Our Source is not codified, our essence is not material, and we claim what we claim out of inner knowing; faith; intuition.

(Just like any creature on the planet knows what it is and how to be from birth, humans are the same. We know what we know, we know who we are.)

Wishing you a wonderful Christmas. Thank you for all. your efforts. So appreciated.

I think we may have had something like a free country for about 2 to 4 decades, that's IT. It was co-opted early on, then MAJORLY in the late 1800's and the fucking Fed Res topped it.

But I could be wrong on that...

And I agree, we are FREE WOMEN AND MEN and nothing can change that unless WE SAY SO.

I'll never say so. YES, we know! I love this, it's so invigorating!

I trained in paralegal studies, but I'm really a frustrated atty, FIGHTER, and ARGUER... I'll find the argument, anytime anyone needs one. ;)

Kathleen, you write w/truth and beauty. How do you see us living in a way that shows we understand who we are?

You and Katherine are both truth speakers and I am glad she introduced me to you!

For example, the WHO treaty. I think we need a wholly different approach to meeting their evil intent head on. I don't plan on complying but I know I am missing a way to confront this plan before we get to the point of non-compliance.

Very interesting. Thanks.

Reinforces other things I've read about sovereign citizenship, the all caps straw man used as a financial slavery instrument via the birth certificate and so on.

I've not dug deep into these topics but the Lincoln angle is new data to me.

Expand full comment

Keep digging... There is a lot there to find. Particularly in the definition of words. That is where things get tricky in law and legal. For example, there is no such thing as a sovereign citizen. A sovereign is just that; having ultimate authority, as in over property, land or self. A citizen owes loyalty to something (duties and responsibilities). So, it is not possible to be sovereign and a citizen at the same time. An oxymoron. But the legal society would have people believe it is a movement to be dealt with by confusing terms and adding adjectives to diminish.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS! I'm not sure what that all meant, a do over since 1861? What about all those who have died? Tomorrow I'll try to bring the lawyer's address who is handling my class action against Pfizer. We should sue the manufacturers of the vax or maybe someone else. It's getting late and I forgot some of that but I should have another copy tomorrow.

It says to me that the corporate state is illegitimate and should be peacefully abandoned. We can do that by forming hundreds of voluntary communities of cultural secessionists to begin the process of building parallel systems for sustainability after the asundering. The process will gradually starve the beast of its food..

I think that's a very good take on it.

And I agree with doing that. Starve the beast!

And Happy Holidays.

That is easy to do I'll tell anyone how it's in my plan C I started a group in Pro America Only.org, but haven't really said what to save or do yet.

The idea is that our ancestral debt has enslaved us as property to our creditors by Lincoln making the US incorporated. Can't Words on paper become meaningless and/or expire? only people themselves can give authority to slavery agreements. The creditors can tell themselves they have the right to decide how and if we live or die today. We have played by their rules and allowed them to amount massive power thru wealth. now we need to assert ourselves. Moving forward systems must require limitations on wealth accumulation. After 2008 implosion there was no changes in societal financial imbalances. Accumulation of wealth has enable massive egos, these egos have decided to restructure the financial system to suit their corporations. I have heard that immunity from lying and murder have been secretly handed out to entities and passed on to other organizations but this is not legal no matter if signed by angels. I applaud your research. I feel like a court of law needs to be redefined by today's citizens based on the current need.

"...but this is not legal no matter if signed by angels." I think it is 𝒍𝒆𝒈𝒂𝒍, but it is unlawful.

I would say legal = lawful, illegal = unlawful.

It's a legal distinction! ;)

Oh my goodness! That’s an incredible history lesson somewhat foreign to me.

So happy to see the facts related to Lincoln -- quite possibly the worst President in history given what happened to the republic by and through him.

So good, also, to see the critically important distinction between that which is "legal" and that which is lawful. Crucial.

Thank you for everything, Katherine. Blessings to you and yours and Merry Christmas, too.

Katherine, A while back we were "introduced" to our new regional government personnel w/a glowing ad in several local newspapers. They just appeared. No one voted for them. They are just "our" new regional governance. I'm trying to find out who appointed them and for what purpose.

Then, just recently, my husband got an e-mail regarding CERT training run by FEMA under the auspicious of none other than these fine regional governance board members. Thank goodness for such fine citizens! :)

Am I seeing the national security state coming out in the open in real time in my area? That is certainly what I believe is happening.

Merry Christmas! Jill

Merry Christmas to you!

Yes, I think you are, but probably it's been there for a long time embedded in the municipal governments. The COG might just be a new layer that's a little more visible because it's new.

We got a "regional" government where I live, brought in sometime in the 1960s. I think there was a vote, but am not sure. The original plan had been to consolidate six smaller municipalities into one, but they couldn't get the electorate to go for it. So instead they made this regional "council of governments" or COG, and all the elected council members for the six municipalities also serve on a mega-board of 25-30 people, where they vote on shared services like EMS, firefighting, library, parks, IT and a few other areas. Some of the municipalities kept things like police departments and planning and zoning .

The COG has its own entire administrative/technocrat staff and standalone offices -- the COG board is just as much of an irrelevant rubber-stamping body as the municipal boards are. COG also has its own budget, to which all the municipal taxpayers must contribute as part of their municipal real estate and income taxes. So we basically support municipal, COG and county systems, with a lot of overlap and room for graft and embezzlement and so forth.

The other fun thing a COG does is make another layer of plausible responsibility avoidance for all the different levels. The municipality can point to the COG and tell voters, "It's not up to us, it's up to them." And the COG can point back the other way, and both can point at the county, and around and around they go.

Really great summary. Especially the paradox analogy. It is truly a divergence.

Katherine Watt given your goals for 2023, I recommend going back at least to the early creation of the Constitution. It's true this was designed and maintained as a Republic. Republics are virtually destined to be can continue to become oligarchic governments, void of democratic principles.

I would start with historian Charles A. Beard's An Economic Interpretation of the Constitution of the United States written at the pivotal moment 1913.

I found White Trash: The 400-Year Untold History of Class in America by Nancy Isenberg to provide much insight into how this British colony was settled, by whom and why, to flesh out the character of the those who chanced the voyage and settled the land.

I look forward to your analysis. Lincoln's war with the Confederacy was part and parcel of this early beginning. It was a land and power grab war and the ultimate concentration of power.

Love the nitty gritty in all this...sadly until the people are regenerate, none of this will change. ...”a republic, if you can keep it”...as long as the majority of people, Christian and otherwise are statists, there is little hope for change. As the spheres(economics, charity, welfare, education, medicine etc) return to their rightful place, then there is hope for change and renewal.

"I once got teased for starting an investigative report about watershed pollution several million years ago when the geology was forming."

I think that is so funny, I can totally relate. I too, am always looking for the origin of things. I can remember being a kid, really young, kindergarten, fist, second...grade, and feeling kind of frustrated with my teachers because they were always talking about stupid surface things and asking us to answer stupid surface questions. I wanted to know what the foundation of life was, what are we doing here, and where's the plan. They never did get to the origin of life.

Looks like an excellent, detailed analysis, Katherine! Looking forward to going through the details!

I read a book once, about how 2 men practice a certain basketball shot, sort of a circus trick shot, because one of the men is very small and is lifted up to make the shot by the larger fellow. It is a trick that seems to have little application in life, until the 2 men use the the trick shot to save some kids in the story. Unlikely skills, coming in handy, as if fate arranged. A Prayer for Owen Meany. A very strange story indeed, but it's making more and more sense to me as time goes along.
