The reason the precious little girl above was kidnapped from her loving family, due to the fact her father, Edward Thomas chose to treat his crippling Post Traumatic Stress Disorder with medical Cannabis.

On March 22nd, 2018, the Thomas Family of Eagle, Idaho, experienced first hand just how harsh the state of Idaho can be when someone chooses to use medical cannabis, rather than dangerous pharmaceuticals.

Edward Thomas is a 29-year-old, Iraq Veteran of the Army National Guard.
He spent a year stationed within a combat zone in Baghdad and suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) caused by the horrors of war he witnessed during his time in battle.


Edward Thomas served his country in Iraq. Now, the state has removed his daughter simply because he found relief for his PTSD and seizures from medical cannabis. Photo supplied by family.

In the past couple of decades, it has been common knowledge that soldiers suffering from PTSD are almost always prescribed a strong cocktail of psych drugs, that more often than not, have toxic side effects that are worse than the disorder itself.

U.S. military vets are committing suicide at a higher rate than seen before and we are losing more of our veterans to suicide. The suicide stats even dwarf the number of fatalities due to war.

Edward Thomas also suffers from a small benign tumor in his brain that has caused several epileptic episodes in the past.

Edward currently works as a customer service representative in Boise, Idaho, to provide for his small family, including his wife of six years, Ashley, and 2-year-old daughter, Zoey.

Edward and Ashley are also currently expecting their second daughter, Scarlet, due to arrive on June 22nd, 2018.

Ashley is a 27-year-old, disabled mother, that suffers from scoliosis, heart issues, as well as chronic depression and Bipolar disorder.

Both Edward and Ashley have found relief from their suffering due to their various conditions, through the use of medical cannabis.

Edward stated:

It helps with my nightmares and insomnia caused by my time overseas. I used to wake up in a panic from dreams that I was killed in an explosion or seeing my family killed in one. It helped me stop taking several pills for depression and anxiety and even helps with my chronic pain.




CPS Shows Up to New Home Based on Anonymous Phone Call

On the morning of March 22nd, Ashley was home alone with Zoey, about to eat breakfast, when two social workers from the Idaho Department of Health Welfare, Child Protection Division, showed up at their door.

Amy Johnson and Holly Lavoie told Ashley that they had received an anonymous phone call with a report of concern for Zoey’s well-being and asked Ashley if they could come inside the home.

Ashley declined and stated that she was busy right then. She says that the social workers pointed out a bong that was sitting on the counter and said that she had to let them in because of the paraphernalia.

Not knowing that this was not true and that she had the 4th amendment right to say no and demand a warrant, Ashley let the social workers into her home.

Edward and Ashley had recently bought a run-down mobile home trailer to renovate and make their own. They had rented space in a park outside of the city of Eagle and had only been there for two weeks before the social workers arrived at the door.

The home was cluttered with moving boxes and animal cages.

Edward breeds guinea pigs for show and as a hobby and had several cages in the living room. Ashley explained to the social workers that they had just moved there and the house wasn’t finished being unpacked or renovated.

The kitchen was also cluttered with dishes that Ashley hadn’t had time to tackle yet, as well as more moving boxes in the process of being unpacked.

The social workers looked around the home and told Ashley that they had to call the police to report the paraphernalia. The social workers waited outside of the house for the police to arrive.

Two officers arrived on the scene and entered the home, Sheriff Deputy Paul Lim and Deputy Austin Eckhardt. They searched around of their own accord and then asked to enter the locked room. Ashley told them that it wasn’t hers and did not give permission for the police to enter it.

Ashley reports that Deputy Lim pushed on the door until it opened due to the faulty door lock, allowing the officers to look inside. Ashley says that she did not give permission, nor did the officers have a warrant to open the locked door.

Inside of the room were five medical marijuana plants, growing under some lights. The fertilizer that was being used is reportedly made from bat guano, which resulted in a very rank smell, a smell that Edward and Ashley say the social workers and police officers attributed to the conditions of the house instead of the fertilizer.

Deputy Lim and Deputy Austin called in more officers to investigate the scene. They located numerous pieces of marijuana paraphernalia, including a scale, bongs, pipes, and containers. They also located Edward’s .45 handgun, which had been secured in a gun box on a shelf in their bedroom.

According to the police reports, the officers took their time as they searched through Edward and Ashley’s belongings, noting every negative they could find within the house; even allegedly masquerading as electricians and contractors in an effort to report on the structural integrity and electrical safety of the home the Thomas Family had just purchased.

They went as far as to point out stains on the carpet, despite the fact that the Thomas Family had just moved in and couldn’t have been there long enough to create that amount of damage.

Edward and Ashley defended their home and pointed out that ALL of their belongings had just been moved to the location, so of course it was not in the most tidy condition. They had just moved in.

As many parents have found is common with these types of situations, even positives were turned into negatives.

“The fridge was well stocked…” “…but had several stains inside.”
“The child was appropriately dressed…” “…but had greasy hands.”
In the photo that was provided in the police evidence, Ashley points out the Pringles can sitting next to Zoey in the stroller and comments “of course they were greasy, she was just eating chips when they took the photo!”

Parents Arrested and Sent to Jail

The police confiscated everything they found, including Edward’s legally-obtained firearm.

Idaho is a very conservative state, that strongly supports it’s citizen’s rights to bear arms, and, as a military veteran, Edward is obviously well-trained in the use and safety of weapons, but that didn’t keep the social workers and police officers from using Edward’s possession of a gun against him and taking it into evidence.

The officers and social workers ransacked the Thomas home, ultimately arresting Ashley, as well as Edward upon his arrival at the home. The couple was transported to the Ada County Jail, where they were questioned by officers, separately, without an attorney present.

Both Edward and Ashley were booked into the jail, each on three felony charges – Manufacturing a Controlled Substance, Manufacturing a Controlled Substance with Intent to Deliver where a Child is Present, and Injury to a Child.

A No Contact Order with Zoey was requested by the Department and granted, forbidding Edward and Ashley from any contact with their daughter.

Fortunately, Zoey was placed in a kinship foster placement with Ashley’s mother and not in the home of strangers.

Having family members nearby in their home state of Idaho to help out the young family is the main reason why they could not consider moving to a state with more friendly medical cannabis laws.



Parents Out on Bail Try to Meet Ever-Changing Demands of CPS to get Daughter Back

Edward and Ashley were able to bail out of jail with the help of their family, each on a $20,000 bond.

They’ve cooperated with the department, jumping through what seems like an endless line of hoops and demands.

They have been forced to rush the renovations on their home, costing them thousands in repairs to appease the requests of the social workers.
Edward claims:

No matter what repairs were made they seemed to constantly have something to add on.

They were told to fix the stained carpet, so they did.

Then it became the cracked tile in the kitchen. So, it was fixed.

Everything they could find had to be fixed immediately, including the smallest gap between the fridge and the cupboard.

Then it became an issue with the animals and every “what if” the social workers could drum up. So, Edward made a gate to separate the guinea pigs from the living room.

They were told by social workers that they are being “rewarded” by the department for their cooperation by being allowed to have supervised visits with their daughter.

After a little more work and cooperation, they were given unsupervised visits and promise of 48-hour visits with overnights.

They have yet to hear back on when this will be allowed, despite that they were told they’d be able to have their daughter come home next week if they cooperated fully.

Edward continued:

They just keep asking to do walk-throughs of the house; in my mind they are just looking for more reasons why it is unfit.

The social workers keep changing on them, as well as the plan for Zoey’s return home. Currently, Social worker Heather Blair is assigned to the case, with Kristen Nate supervising.

Edward and Ashley have done everything that has been asked, but the department seems to be stalling before their adjudicatory hearing.

Both Ashley and Edward continue to face three felony charges in criminal court as well, with preliminary hearings scheduled for May 25th.

Idaho Wants to Convict These Parents as Criminals – Forever Altering Their Future



Edward and Ashley on their Wedding Day. Hopes and dreams for a happy family are now dashed as they face the future of being labeled as criminals for choosing a natural healing plant over dangerous pharmaceutical drugs. Photo supplied by family.

Edward and Ashley were each offered a plea agreement at their last court date, a deal that would include five years of Felony Probation, if they just plead guilty to the two felonies related to the Marijuana, and a reduced misdemeanor Injury to Child charge.

Both Ashley and Edward turned down this deal, with the hope of fighting back against what they feel is injustice in Idaho regarding their necessity of a safer medicine and a better quality of life.

Ashley says:

I feel destroyed that they took our daughter over a healing plant. I feel like our government and justice system are corrupt and unjust. And I want justice.

Taking Dangerous Pharmaceutical Drugs Now Required to Get Daughter Back



Edward and Ashley have since had to return to taking the dangerous pharmaceuticals they were avoiding, in the hopes to control their pain and suffering.

Edward is already up to 150 mg of the anti-anxiety medication, Hydroxyzine, which is intended for short-term use only and includes side effects like involuntary motor activity and tremors, severe headaches, and hallucinations.
These young parents now live in a state of chaos and confusion, combined with physical and emotional pain, compounded with the threat of permanently losing their daughter, Zoey; and, as many expectant parents have experienced while under supervision of the Department – the fear of losing their new baby, Scarlet, upon her birth in June.

Family Advocate and local activist, Serra Frank stated:
When it comes to Medical Marijuana, the laws and policies of the state of Idaho conflict greatly with the Will of The People.

The People of Idaho do not want our Veterans locked in cages, or their children taken away, just for choosing a non-toxic plant over dangerous pharmaceuticals.
We owe our lives and our freedom to these soldiers.
And this is how we repay them? By destroying their families and forcing them into a criminal system just for making the decision to combat their demons with a safer drug?

It doesn’t make sense, and it isn’t what the people of Idaho want.

You See, Bob......

By Anna Von Reitz

You see, Bob, to adopt your own chauvinistic and condescending tone --- you make the mistake of thinking that you know what you don't know, and interpreting legal documents without knowing the legal meaning of words and terms.  

I know this is so the same way that judges always know when someone is ignorant of legal jargon and comes to their courtroom all stuffed up on what they THINK they know --- and don't.  Those are the same people who are surprised to learn that they have no "constitutional rights" while claiming to be US Citizens or "citizens of the United States". 

You make all the mistakes that patriots typically make and all the same (wrong) assumptions, too.  And the really cloying part of this, is that you look down your nose at the patriots while encouraging and displaying the same kind of ignorance yourself.   I find that very suspicious, Bob.  Is it deliberate? 

I have already proven to anyone's satisfaction that you know nothing about what "citizenship" is or what kinds of "citizenship" there are.  

I have already demonstrated that although you claim to be a "US citizen" of some kind, you don't have the least little bit of an idea what that political status obligates you to be and to do.  You don't know and can't tell me, but you are a big enough Blowhard to try to bluff it out and pretend that you know "stuff" and I don't. 

So let's put it to test, Bob.  I already gave you a long list of words that you should know the legal meanings of, presented in pairs: 

"Citizen" and "National"

"Law Enforcement" and "Peacekeeping" 

"Domestic" and "Non-domestic" 

"Resident" and "Landlord" 

"Usufruct" and "Holder in Due Course". 

"Alien" and "Inhabitant"

"Within" and "Without" 

"Including" and "Excepting"

"Judge" and "Justice" 

"Postmaster" and "Post Master"

"of" and "for" 

"United States" and "United States of America"

"Territorial" and "National"

"Declaration" and "Constitution"

"Title" and "Covenant" 

"Patent" and "Deed"

"Warrant" and "Writ"

So let's see you demonstrate even a passing knowledge of what the legal definitions of these words are for starters, before you pretend to have knowledge that you: (a) don't have or (b) have, but choose not to reveal to others. 

Somehow you think that you can just "shine me on" and make me kow-tow to your ignorance and name-calling and condescending language. 

You might as well give up with that train of thought right now.  I've faced off the Pope..  I am not going to bow to you.

My Comment on the T-ROH Warrant

By Anna Von Reitz

Okay, first of all, let’s make sure that everyone knows what a warrant and a court are. Then we will look at T-ROH’s jurisdiction or lack thereof with respect to me and others named by these madmen.

warrant. 1) n. an order (writ) of a court which directs a law enforcement officer (usually a sheriff) to arrest and bring a person before the judge, such as a person who is charged with a crime, convicted of a crime but failed to appear for sentencing, owes a fine or is in contempt of court.

Legal Definition of “court”:

Court: n. A court is a tribunal, often as a government institution, with the authority to adjudicate legal disputes between parties and carry out the administration of justice in civil, criminal, and administrative matters in accordance with the rule of law. ... The place where a court sits is known as a venue.

Lawful Definition of “court”:

Court: n. any tribunal within a judicial system. Under English common law and in some states it was a court which heard only lawsuits in which damages were sought, as distinguished from a court of equity which could grant special remedies.

Quote my friend, Mark Emery, Founder of The Lighthouse Law Club:

Learn about 'lawful' courts and how to hold your own court. Court is not a 'place' it's an assembly of qualified jurors convened in any location by the plaintiff and the defendant under the security of the Sheriff.  https://vimeo.com/248990751

In fact and in truth, a court is the assemblage of people creating the court. It is not a building or place (that’s merely the venue). And as you can see above, a court may be engaged in settling “legal” disputes or “lawful” disputes.

As a result, a warrant may be a “writ” issued by a lawful court, or it may be an “order” issued by a legal court.

And in any case, in order for a warrant to have any validity, the “person” – either the Natural Person addressed by a lawful court, or the legal fiction PERSON addressed by a legal court---has to be in the jurisdiction of that court.

As I do not subscribe to T-ROH and am not a citizen of T-ROH and long ago severed any association with T-ROH whatsoever (I checked out their spiel along with RuSA and all the other wannabe organizations and found them wanting for the reasons already discussed.) nothing that they say or do has any jurisdiction related to me.

In fact, their “warrant” has as much authority as a similar “warrant” issued by the Ladies’ Sewing Circle and Terrorist Society of Columbus, Ohio. The Campus Police at Georgia State have more actual authority than T-ROH.

So am I worried? Of course, I am worried. These people are nutcases, dangerously unbalanced and irrational and out ramming around South America, presumably acting as a nutcase magnet for similarly inclined persons. That is something to worry about for sure and has been reported to Homeland Security.

All that said --- 

This recent fashion for private organizations issuing “Warrants” for “Arrest” of other people was started by Kevin Annett and his International Tribunal for Crimes of Church and State, which as usual, Copycat Livingway has adopted as something he thinks he can do, too.

If anyone acts on such “Warrants” and kidnaps people who belong to other countries and other jurisdictions of the law, they are likely to: (a) be fired upon and (b) be prosecuted as criminals. 

We have extradition treaties with some other countries that allow for prisoner exchanges and settlement of criminal charges in foreign jurisdictions, but not with T-ROH, which with any luck will simply fade away as another ill-conceived foreign organization built on sand.

There's Pikers, and Then.... There's Bob Hurt

By Anna Von Reitz

Imagine this situation: 

You have spent decades of your life studying public documents that are available to everyone to read.  You look around and realize that nobody knows what those documents actually say -- so you bring forward the facts to help educate people who are suffering and "being destroyed" as Amos says, for lack of knowledge. 

And certain people start calling you a "liar" and a "fake" and God-only-knows-what-else, even though they haven't bothered to read it all themselves. They just "know" what they think they know. And then they demand that you "prove it" to them because they are too lazy to read the documents and prove it to themselves. 

Let's recap --- they haven't read the documents. You have. They won't believe  you when you tell them what the documents say.  Then they still refuse to read the documents for themselves and demand that you "prove" to them what the documents say....

Hello?  

That reminds me of the time my Best Friend Forever said she'd offer me five bucks to go pee for her because she was afraid to walk out to the latrine at summer camp in the middle of the night. 

There are some things that other people can't do "for" you.  Proving what a document that you refuse to read for yourself says --- is one of those.  

I wish there were some way that I could attach a USB cable from my ear to your ears and just download everything I know.  The world would quickly become a much safer and saner and more law-abiding place.  

Everyone would know how the governments are supposed to be structured and how they are supposed to be funded and would know where the problems lie --- and so, would correct the Mess without any big debate.  

But until people stop reacting like little babies and going "Waah!  Wahh!  That can't be so!  You must be lying to me!  Waah!  Wahh!  Prove it to me!  Waaaah!" -- and start reading and thinking as adults who are responsible for reading and researching and knowing the facts for themselves -- there is no USB cable.

You have to either believe me and take my word for what it says, or you have to read it yourself and determine what it says.  Those are the two options that Nature gave us.  All those that want "proof" need to man up and prove it to themselves, especially as I and others have already done the heavy lifting and told everyone where to look.

Cracks in Hawaii volcano roar amid warnings of more

By Terray Sylvester

PAHOA, Hawaii (Reuters) - New fissures roaring like jet engines and spewing magma have opened on Hawaii's Kilauea volcano, piling lava as high as a four-story building as the U.S. Geological Survey warned that more outbreaks were likely.

A crack in pasture land on Kilauea's east flank was the 16th recorded since the U.S. volcano, one of the world's most active, erupted eight days ago. Thousands of people have fled their homes on Big Island and dozens of homes have been destroyed.

The new fissure opened up on Saturday about a mile (1.6 km) east of the existing vent system that has devastated the island's Leilani Estates neighborhood, close to several homes on the edge of the field.

"It's right by my house, which is kind of scary," said Haley Clinton, 17, who walked to see the new crack with her father, Darryl, and sister Jolon, 15. "It's really cool."

From afar, the fissure gave off dull, thumping roars that sharpened on approach to a scream from venting steam and gas, mixed with the slapping sounds of liquid lava.

Within hours of opening, the fissure had piled reddish-black lava about 40 feet (12 meters) high and at least 150 feet (45 meters) in length. Chunks of magma were being spewed 100 feet (30 meters) in the air.

The intense heat left onlookers drenched with sweat, and the air was filled with an acrid, burned scent. But with billowing gas and smoke blowing in the opposite direction, there was no pungent smell of toxic sulfur dioxide in the air.

Shortly after the fissure opened, the Geological Survey's Hawaii Volcano Observatory said seismic activity remained "elevated" at Kilauea's 4,000-feet-high (1,200-meter-high) summit. The USGS reported a shallow but small earthquake with a magnitude of 3.5 hit the island on Saturday.

Another fissure, the 17th since the lava flows began May 3, opened about 6 p.m. local time, venting gases the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said.

Geologists warned on Friday that a steam-driven eruption from the summit's Halemaumau crater could spew ash plumes 20,000 feet (6,100 meters) high and spread ash and debris up to 12 miles (19 km).

Kilauea's vents have been oozing relatively cool, sluggish magma left over from a similar event in 1955. Fresher magma could now emerge behind it and the volcano is threatening to start a series of explosive eruptions, scientists have said.

"WE NEED TO BREATHE"

As the area affected by Kilauea's eruption widens, Hawaii residents are racing to buy respirators to cope with the ash and toxic gases spewing from the volcano.

David Baxter, 54, an employee of Pahoa Auto Parts, said the shop was selling out of respirators as soon as they get in and had sold about 3,000 so far. The shop was all out on Saturday.

"We pretty much bought up every (respirator) in the state, and we are selling them at cost - actually, a slight loss," said Baxter. "We need to breathe."

Even as the volcano continued to erupt, Hawaii Academy of Arts and Sciences, a charter middle and high school in Pahoa, will resume classes on Monday after being shut for a week.

A teacher at the school, Tiffany Edwards Hunts, who lives in the Big Island's Vacationland neighborhood, said she, her husband and two children - ages 10 and 6 - were readying to evacuate their home.

"My husband has been doing a good job of protecting them, but it is scary for kids," she said.

Some pets have been left behind as many residents have fled their homes, and the Hawaii Island Humane Society said it had rescued 16 dogs, three rabbits, four tortoises and four cats.

Almost all had been picked up by their owners, and 1,400 livestock and 32 horses had also been taken from the volcano zone, it said in a statement

Hawaii residents shaken by tremors, brace for new lava outbreaks

By Karin Stanton

PAHOA, Hawaii (Reuters) - Dozens of tremors rattled residents on Hawaii's Big Island on Friday as molten rock from Kilauea volcano flowed under an area where homes have already been destroyed by fiery lava geysers.

Fifteen large cracks or fissures have opened on the eastern flank of Kilauea, one of the world's most active volcanoes, destroying dozens of houses and other structures and forcing around 2,000 people to evacuate their homes.

New outbreaks of lava were expected in or around the hard-hit Leilani Estates area in the southeastern Puna district, about 20 miles (32 km) south of Hilo, the Hawaii Volcano Observatory and local authorities said.

Steaming cracks in the ground, the first sign a fissure may be opening, closed roads in areas to the northeast and southwest of Leilani Estates where scientists believe the next lava geysers may appear.

"I've been feeling earthquakes. Lots and lots of tremors," said Cindy Conda, whose house lies just east of Leilani Estates where 27 homes have been torched by lava in the last eight days and whose residents have all been evacuated.

At a meeting on Thursday night, Hawaiian Volcano Observatory scientist Steve Brantley told residents that magma created by a 1955 eruption was being forced to the surface by Kilauea.

"He said 'That lava's underneath your house,'" said Conda. "Really it's worrying; we've been doing a lot of praying."

Volcanic activity has broken water lines, knocked out power and forced some schools to close in the village of Pahoa, which is only a few miles from the fissures.

Toxic, orange clouds of sulfur dioxide gas have hampered utility repair work, but water supplies have been restored to many homes, said Keith Okamoto, manager and chief engineer at Hawaii County Department of Water Supply.

While locals contend with lava and gas on the ground, explosions at Kilauea's summit, some 25 miles (40 km) to the west are dusting downwind communities with ash that is an irritant to eyes and breathing.

The Hawaii Volcanoes National Park around the summit was closed to visitors on Thursday, given risks of the first explosive eruptions in nearly a century, which could launch refrigerator-sized "ballistic blocks" over half a mile (0.8 km) and send ash columns tens of thousands of feet into the atmosphere.

Residents of Kona on the west of the island have complained of volcanic smog, or vog, from the large amounts of sulfur dioxide and other pollutants spewing from Kilauea. Further afield, people said it was "very voggy" on the streets of state capital Honolulu, around 210 miles (340 km) northwest of Kilauea on the island of Oahu.

Mother's Day

By Anna Von Reitz

It's Mother's Day.  Who cares if it was a Hallmark Holiday? 

The truth is that it is a celebrating of all the acts--- great and small -- that we all make every day of every year, to take care of and nurture others and to take care of the Earth and otherwise pay our dues. 

I am very proud this day of my most recalcitrant child, my Step-Daughter, Brenda, who --- having almost nothing to spare --- nonetheless spent all that she had to save her cat companion, Sassy, an elderly feline who is her only companion. 

Some people would say, well, the cat has had a good run.....put her down. Don't trouble yourself.  Dying is inevitable.  Let it be. 

But in the face of this reality, Brenda chose life.  And life is worth choosing. 

I am content.  Despite everything, all the many ills and problems, all the disasters, all the wrong choices, all the things that weren't right --- in the end, this is right. 

If all parents could look back and say--- "My child chose what is good, what matters most!"  -- then this would be a better world. 

And not just life for an elderly, cat, but life for all.  

The Belle Cher family motto is "Loyale au Mort"  --- "Loyal unto Death".   And so they are.  God bless them all.  

I am proud and pleased with all my children, of every race, kind, and creed, who choose life and love.  I truly don't care what you look like, how rich or poor you are, what kind of pedigree you have or don't have.  

What I care about is that you love. 

I will simply note this Mother's Day, that my Brother-in-Law came through his by-pass surgery and that we look forward to his return to his family and his well-tended garden in Minnesota.  

He has been a pillar of strength, endlessly hard-working, honest, generous and kind for all us and for his community since November 1939.  He came into the world in the worst of times and we pray that he can be here to celebrate far better times to come. 

Shills, Shillings, and the King's Shillings

 
By Anna Von Reitz

Ever wonder where the slang use of the word "Shill" came from, as in, "He's a shill." --meaning that someone was acting in a dishonest capacity? 

 

A couple hundred years ago, disguised King's Officers haunted the pubs of England, Ireland and Scotland. They would offer to buy rounds as people still sometimes do -- only they would slip coins -- British Shillings -- into the bottom of the tankards. And when the victims got to the bottom of the glass they would find "the King's Shilling".

Immediately, they would be clapped in irons by waiting Marines and press-ganged into the King's Navy using this excuse.

Well, obviously, this is insane, dishonest, and pseudo-legal chicanery. The acceptance of what was advertised as free beer does not logically add up to a pledge to serve without pay in the King's Navy for a period of years --- nonetheless, this is what this horrendous government did to its own people.

And despite worldwide sanctions against slavery and involuntary servitude and the outlawing of press-ganging, they are still doing it and they aren't even content with preying upon their own people. Oh, no, they had to export it worldwide. 

 

In America, they have conscripted our doctors using a false licensing process and forced them to act as "shills" -- just like the purveyors of "free beer". They are forced to register "berths" in the King's Merchant Marine Service and "Social Security Accounts" for each new American baby born -- giving rise to the thoroughly false legal presumption that they are "volunteering" to be and act in the capacity of British Subjects.

The same sneaky, dishonest, fraudulent claims have been made against Aussies and Canadians, Germans and Japanese, people all around the world have suffered from the criminality. You've been press-ganged, and nothing substantive has changed except that they don't offer as much as a shilling in return.

The above link is the Interpol address to report crime, especially international crime.

What we wish to report is essentially Human Trafficking on paper, designed to create an opportunity for unlawful conversion of assets and falsification of public records so as to deprive people of their natural political status and national affiliations-- which is a war crime under both the Hague and Geneva Conventions, and results in involuntary public servitude under color of law and process of undisclosed adhesion contracts.

This has been going on for 150 years right under their noses. So we would all like an explanation of this circumstance and some accountability for the deplorable incompetence that the politicians, police, military, and members of the Bar Associations have displayed. 

 

And if they start making any "shifty" noises, smile and inform them that you are discharging your duty to report and combat crime by bringing it to the attention of the proper authorities.

Thank you, very much, etc., etc., etc....

Final Reply to Larry Becraft:

By Anna Von Reitz

 

I understand that Larry Becraft has been calling me a "Fake" Judge again, and his pal, Bob Hurt, too. 

Here is my Final Reply:

If I am a "fake" Judge, Larry, your butt is on the line for not prosecuting me. 

Put up or shut up, Larry. 

Otherwise, continuing to slander and defame me and accuse me of committing a crime without pursuing prosecution will be ample grounds to charge you both civilly and criminally.  And since you are claiming to be a Territorial United States Citizen, you have no recourse to say you are merely expressing your "opinion" and exercising your First Amendment rights---- because you have none. 

This game can be played from both sides.

One man among many......

The long and secret info wars against Q and how he stayed alive. You really need to know this and move on.

I promised there would be a follow up to my post about Q1295 Be careful who you are following. Here it is. It's a long post but if you are a Q follower, this information is worth knowing.
As many among you already know, Dr. Corsi is just the tip of the iceberg. There are dark forces at work trying to divide us and hijack Q’s work and our Movement. I will show you today who these dark forces are and how they are related to Dr. Corsi.
To those who think this issue should be put to rest for the sake of unity, this is my response:

1. if Q himself has spoken about it here after having put up with these dark forces trying to undermine him for months, he must have some kind of intel pushing him to react;
2. A glass of fine wine mixed with water is no longer fine wine and is certainly not water;
3. When a snake enters the house, there is no time for poetry: you secure the kids, close the doors and do what you have to do.

The Truth has a price my friends and no strong movement in human history has succeeded avoiding the issues challenging its foundations. Roses are beautiful, but they come with thorns. To be safe, we need to know how to hold them. This is why we are here today. We owe it to Trump, we owe it to Q, we owe it to the patriots who have sacrificed their lives for True Freedom, we owe it to ourselves for our efforts to not go to waste and above all, we owe it to the abused children whose lives, safety and freedom depend on the success of our Movement. Isn’t this the ultimate reason we are all here?
Let’s get to it.
Q’s first days were not easy. At all. Immediately after his first posts on October 2017, a violent information war was launched against him to ridicule him and silence him. All sorts of vicious information war techniques were used against him. I will show you some of them in this post. Q stoically stood still and after 3 months, despite this info-war against him, his audience grew to the point the phenomenon could not be ignored anymore. On December 08 2017, Infowars resorts to inviting Jordan Sather from Destroy the Illusion to talk about Q. Even though Jordan’s main field of expertise is secret space programs, free energy and the like he has been following Q on his YT channel and has done an excellent job bridging Q with the masses. When Jordan is invited by Infowars, we can see how proud he is: tweet.
Let’s listen to Jordan and Roger Stone’s conversation until 6:40: video.
Did you catch what Roger Stone is implying? This is the first info-war technique I want to show you. Stone is an old fox, he knows all the subtle communication techniques used in information warfare to swing people’s opinion and spread confusion. He knows how the subconscious mind works and how it makes an association between a skillfully asked question and its implied response. For clarity, here is Roger Stone’s question: Img1
You see it now? He is implying and subtly instilling in people’s mind through his timed and insidious question that the Q phenomenon Jordan has described may just be bots or humans hired to limit Infowars’ reach and cut them off from those who follow them. This is Roger Stone essentially saying: “Infowars is a shareholder in the election of the President and we will not accept to lose the leverage we have because of some bot playing on 8chan”. You think it’s far-fetched? Bear with me…
December 24 2017. For the first time Alex Jones talks about Q. At last. It’s been 3 months! You can find the entire video here so nobody can accuse me of taking things out of context. Let’s listen to him from 0:54 to 1:56. video.
As you can see, Jones starts with Q but immediately shuts him down by saying this: Img2 This information warfare technique is used to zero or reduce the relevancy of the subject: you name the subject (Q), then you immediately replace him in people’s mind by talking about another person (Zak) with praises and hypertrophy. Then Jones goes into a long verbal journey about Zak, the color of the moon and other irrelevant subjects, beating around the bush, preparing, preparing, until he could finally throw this at his audience (watch until 8:46) video.
There are 2 techniques used here. The first one is Downgrading. Alex claims to know who Q is, where he get his info, Q is not really high level… secondarily… That technique is pretty straightforward.
Did you catch the second one? At 8:19 he says: “so they want to take Trump out in November, but we dodged it, and people go: look Q anon is not right, it didn’t happen”.
Q never said Trump was going to be taken out on November. Alex Jones did. You see how he did it: he lied, then he attributed the lie to Q, then he defends him. This is another information warfare technique consisting of artificially victimizing someone in order to pull his base. You push someone through the balcony, you take the stairs to catch him and then pay for his funeral…
But it gets better:
January 5 2018. Alex Jones invites Zak. The YT video title is “High Level Intelligence Source Confirms QAnon Is REAL”. You can watch the entire video later. It’s a 23 minute video. Despite the title, Q is not mentioned any single time except at the 10th minute when Alex says the following; let’s listen until 11:15: video .
If you take a look at this composition, you realize Alex has obviously explored Q’s board. He is ridiculing him and asking people to hold on to Zak, his “real Q Anon” who is not a “LARP” acting in “Fantasy Land”. Unlike Q, his beloved Zak is acting in the “real world”. Sounds familiar? Yes… He is echoing his friend Roger Stone! They both talked about it and both have agreed their communication strategy was to convince Q is not real, he’s a bot or a hired human LARPING on 8Chan. Of course this strategy has to be implemented covertly in order not to risk any backlash from their audience that may have been following Q. Hence all these sneaky communication and manipulation techniques. After this vicious attack, Alex will never mention Q throughout the interview again. Those who are familiar with subliminal messages understand why the title did not have anything to do with the interview. The title was aiming at subliminally planting in people’s brains: ”The real QAnon is Zak”.
The next day, commenting on Zak’s interview, Owen Shroyer airs a segment titled: “Infowars Own #QAnon Discusses Deep State” Img.
Need I say more? You see the problem now?
On January 27 2018, Infowars invites Jordan Sather for the second time. Despite the attacks, Q’s movement has grown exponentially so we are hoping to hear Jordan’s update on the Q phenomenon. Well, here is the entire video. There is not a single word about Q. Infowars invited him to talk about secret space programs. Not Q. Why is Infowars putting Jordan in the “Secret Space Program” drawer. Why? I will tell you. So that this can happen the next day: Img
Infowars positions Dr. Corsi to be the in-house Q guy. Alex Jones has now realized he could not crush the Q phenomenon. He tried to confuse us, ridicule Q, downgrade him and replace him with Zak, didn’t work. So… If you can’t fight them, join them. Dr. Corsi, the Infowars Washington Correspondent is now missioned by Alex to lead the containment strategy and infiltrate Q. Notice the title: “What is QAnon?”. Not who. Again, the bot/LARP theory. But there is worse, did you catch it? Let’s zoom, look: Imgur.
We clearly read on Infowars YT channel:“Dr. Jerome Corsi reveals what QAnon is and how it will be used against the people.“ What do you think this is? Error? No. This is a subliminal message folks. Your eyes will not notice it but your brain sees it. Once this particular message is processed by the subconscious mind, the conscious mind starts to develop defense mechanisms against Q and his message. Welcome to the info wars against Q! It has been Infowars against Q all along. MSM fights Q by trying to ignore him, Infowars fights Q by trying to crash him. Wake up.
Now question: why do you think Alex did not use Jordan instead? Why didn’t he try to hijack Jordan’s base instead of starting from scratch with Corsi? Answer: because of this: Img. 4 days before, during the Infowars Fisa Memo debacle, Jordan showed his independence with this tweet. Alex Jones realized he was not controllable. Jordan is a real truth fighter. This is why Infowars invited him 3 days after this tweet to talk about what he likes and forget Q. Classic bait & control tactics. Once this bait was offered to Jordan, he could then position Dr. Corsi who would do what he is told about Q. Why? Because of this: Img
Dr. Corsi’s YT channel was dead. His last video was published on 2014 and had 2,2k views. As the inactive Infowars DC correspondent who is invited from time to time on Infowars, Dr. Corsi is a vulnerable asset Jones can use to deal with the Q problem. He instructs him to start commenting on Q and to progressively build his crowd based on a business model that will not link him to Infowars. Perfect bone for an inactive asset. How do I know? Let’s listen to the following until 1:25: video
Did you catch it? “a number of people who I consider to be very important to me said you’d better start looking at this”. How does that sound to you? “you’d better start looking at this”. You think it is a professional advice? Now that we know what we know, we know it's not. This is Alex essentially telling him: I tried to contain this thing, didn’t work, you’d better get in and take control remotely for us before it gets out of hands. This is how we got Corsi my friends. It has never been about decoding, it has always been about containing. Dr. Corsi is the Infowars Trojan horse sent to the Q Movement. And in exchange of this work, Jones is capitalizing on his vulnerability by allowing him to do his little business. Does Corsi know Jones’ endgame? I don’t believe so. I think he is just being manipulated by someone more intelligent. You know why? Because the next day, on the Hagmman Report, this is what he says, let’s listen carefully until 2:22: video
So here the version slightly changes: he decided he would dig into the Q phenomenon after Trump’s executive order. It’s no longer “a number of people who I consider to be very important to me said you’d better start looking at this”. Now it’s about trump’s Executive Order. Why is the version changing? You got it: Alex told him he made a mistake at Tracy’s interview. He needed to change the story so Alex could remain invisible, working in the shadow. This corrected discrepancy is proof Corsi is just a pawn.
Now let’s take a look at his Youtube and Twitter stats: Img Img
As you can see, Dr. Corsis’s current notoriety has everything to do with Q. His book was published on March 2018 and you see there is no significant change on the curves at that date. So Dr. Corsi has successfully conducted his mission: infiltrate Q’s base and build a substantial number of followers he can now manipulate according to Alex’s instructions.
Now the relevant question would be: is Dr. Corsi loyal to Q? I have the answer. I will give it to you.
Do you remember Alex’s rant on Syria? I will not provide links because it was a dark moment for alternative media. Those who read Q knew all along what was going on in Syria, you may explore my posts about it. Events proved Alex was way off in his assessment of the situation and we are therefore entitled to question the relevancy of his “high level sources”. When asked about Alex’s meltdown, this is Corsis’s response, let’s listen until 4:40 video
Now let’s analyze:
“Alex has his own way of doing things, he doesn’t really need my approval to do it, and I don’t… you know…” Corsi stops after “and I don’t” and looks for his words. Now question: what do you think was the natural ending of this sentence? You got it: he was about to say: “and I don’t need his approval either”. But he could not say it because he knows it’s not true and, as a vulnerable asset in Alex’s mighty hands, he did not want to risk upsetting his boss with a little independence displayed in a YT interview.
The other important sentence is this one: “The real strength of Alex is he’s the most disruptive media to the MSM that exists worldwide and as such he has tremendous impact.”
The only reason Alex was able to disrupt MSM was because of privileged intel he had right? People came to him to know what the Mockingbird MSM would not disclose right? But then, as early as October 29th 2017, Q said this:
Q12 Military Intelligence ref above is the absolute biggest inside drop this board will ever receive.
Then, a few months later, he says this:
Q761 This board has more power than you can imagine. Q
Q768 This board in the coming months will be spread & discussed across ALL PLATFORMS.
You see the problem? Q has been and still is an existential threat to Infowars. As simple as that. Alex Jones has done everything he could to shut down this phenomenon.
“I don’t criticize Alex. I try to understand where he’s going and I try to appreciate it.” “I still greatly admire what Alex does and would never criticize him or offer advice or opinions unless he specifically asked and then I would be happy to share that privately with him.”
Okay… It seems Corsi has beautiful manners. Now let’s listen to what he thinks about Q. I have already shared with you in my previous post how he ridiculed him even though he had no clue what Q was saying. But there is more here, let’s listen until 5:35 video.
“Q is in disinformation”… “I started trashing Q“… “I was ready to quit this board all together and do it myself, and that is seriously under consideration by the way”.
Whaaaaaaat?!
So there you have it. Corsi would never criticize mighty Alex but Q? Oh no! Q is to be trashed and even replaced! Replaced? You see? We went full circle…
Corsi would never advise Alex unless he was asked to and he would do it privately but Q? And Trump? Go listen to a few of his Youtube videos: Corsi tells them what to do with Mueller, Sessions, Iran… He knows exactly what to do on pretty much everything…
Corsi even forgets the hand that fed him and dares to make threats: “and that is seriously under consideration by the way”.
Yes… now that you have infiltrated our Movement, fed off of some of its crowd (check the stats above), you can get out with the hijacked goods the silence the anons (the real ones) have given you all these months out of respect, patiently putting up with your limitations and constant disrespect towards Trump and Q. You should have finished the mean and revealing sentence you have started (did you catch it?): “As far as I am concerned, Q has served…”. Watch the video again. Unbelievable. I hope to shortly see the memes of the side by side statements of Q, Jones and Corsi. This long post has given you the material to produce them. This post is based on facts. Real facts. It was not aiming at anything else except presenting verifiable facts so that people know who is who and what the motivations of each actor are.
The final issue that needs to be addressed is the idea of a cult that has been agitated by Alex and Corsi. Those who follow Q are not in a cult. Q is given the respect he deserves because he is risking his life to give us the intel MSM or Infowars will not give us. Who told us about Saudi Arabia before it happened? Who told us Trump was in Las Vegas? Who told us the real reason behind the steel price issue? Who told us about Flynn it would be done in 30? Yes, Q delivered here too but Corsi failed to decode it correctly. And the list goes on… Q is listened to because we have proof he is right next to Trump, the President we elected to clean up the mess and save our children. People did not vote for Infowars, they voted for Trump. So you’ll have to accept it if they drop you without hesitation should you express any kind of opposition.
Now that things are clarified, I think I will never have to write about Infowars, Alex Jones and Corsi again. We are busy. We have things to do.
Q1296 You decide. This is not a game. The only profit we should all be striving for is TRUE FREEDOM. God bless you all. Q

Facts About the "Judicial" System

By Anna Von Reitz

Facts About the "Justice" System

The "equity law" that the British adopted in the 1750's is a horrible excuse for a justice system. It allows the King's bill collectors to act "as" the King and to "dispense justice" on his subjects however they like without regard for the written law, past precedent, the findings of juries or anything else. Any British Subject facing such a court is utterly at their mercy in a venue that is something straight out of the Dark Ages.

The conversion of the British Judicial System to this travesty and the pollution of the British Common Law under Lord Mansfield gave the British aristocrats a virtual carte blanc to do whatever they wished secure in the knowledge that the King's bill collectors would help them out in any issue provided that the King got his cut.

This is a large part of the reason that the Colonies rebelled in the first place. And it is long past time that we did so again --- by savaging Great Britain in the Court of Public Opinion worldwide and refusing to put up with their evils on our shores.

So now that you know what "Equity Courts" are and why they are evil, please realize that these evil foreign courts have taken over your courthouses like a cuckoo bird stealing a nest. The British Territorial United States began usurping against our lawful Federal Government during the so-called Civil War and started closing our courts in May of 1865. By the 1930's their puppet, FDR, had informed all the senior judges and justices that from then on, only (British) Maritime and Admiralty Law Courts were to be allowed here---- and quote, "We don't care what you call them!"

In other words, deliberately deceive the people and foist these courts from a totally foreign jurisdiction off onto them. Now you know why the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure tell the judges and lawyers involved in this scam to provide "an appearance of justice".

And that is what the American Bar Association has done. Every Bar Member has knowingly or unknowingly committed High Crimes and Treason. They have all conspired to create and then pillage and plunder public trusts named after each and every one of us. No more evil scheme has ever been devised in the history of the world, and having done it to us, they did it to the rest of the world, too.

All the countries on Earth should, by rights, join together to sink the British Isles into the Atlantic --- except that by doing so, we would harm the British People, who have suffered under the scourge of these criminals for longer than everyone else.

Finally, to protect themselves, they incorporated these evil courts so that they could seek bankruptcy protection and enjoy the benefits of the corporate veil. These "courts" are nothing but glorified commercial corporation debt collection agencies. And here's the proof, neatly summed up by Colt Dekker:

"Not only is the United States a corporation, but the “Judicial Branch of US Govt” is also a Delaware Corporation (Delaware SoS file number: 3383789), listed in Dun & Bradstreet: “The following is the DUNS number for JUDICIAL BRANCH OF US GOV: DUNS number: 956858625”, as well.

The “Judicial Branch of US Govt” (corporation) includes: “U.S. GOV’T LAW COURT ADMIN SUPREME & U.S. DISTRICT, APPELLATE, VETERANS PROBATE, BANKRUPTCY, STATE(S) COURTS, INC.” So our courts from the Supreme Court down to state courts are corporate “policy” (as in police) courts."

So, Campers, there you have it. These are corrupt organizations fronting for other corrupt organizations and they have no right to address you at all. If J.C. PENNY can't tell you how to live your life or tax you, neither can THE STATE OF OHIO SUPERIOR COURT. They have hired "police" to act under color of law as mercenaries to remove you from your homes under conditions of false pretense. They are trespassers in the truest sense of the word.

The politicians and Bar Members deserve to be excoriated from New York to San Francisco, from Beijing to Moscow, from Berlin to Seville --- and especially in London and Westminster where these evils took root and flourished and grew in the heart of what was supposed to be the "firm bastion of freedom". Firm bastion of Bull Shit is more like it.

Every member of every police force on Earth and every member of every military and paramilitary organization needs to be clued in and told to do their actual duty. Assuming that the politicians won't do their jobs, the people will have to--- and in that eventuality the police and the military need to know who "the Enemy" really is.
