			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had to re-edit all audio and video sections of the interview with Keith.   But, it is now done and uploaded  (below).   Previously, as stated in VISIGOTH RADIO; Part 2:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;">“This is the con­tin­u­a­tion of the  Inter­view with Keith Hansen of Visig­oth Radio.   I had a  crash in  pro­duc­tion soft­ware yes­ter­day, so this seg­ment is ~14 min.  The  remain­ing 12 min­utes will be “re-shot” and “re-produced” and posted  later today.  So, please look for it.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Well,  Part: 3 is 13 minutes; so I was close.  Enjoy, learn, then act.  Remember; the purpose of life is “not to think, think that you know, or even to know.…the purpose of  life is to act.”   Many people are into information and affirmations,  especially about their perceived freedom and alleged assets.  However, <strong><em>TRUE </em></strong>freedom requires taking total responsibility  and the actions necessary to make it happen.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">“Affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion” — Jim Rohn</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-1079" href="http://therightofselfdetermination.com/visigoth-radio-3/ignorance"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1079" title="ignorance" src="http://therightofselfdetermination.com/wp-content/uploads/ignorance.jpg" alt="" width="232" height="217" /></a>That means assuming your separate Station/Standing among the “<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>POWERS </strong></span>OF  THE EARTH”.   As Einstein said: “you can’t solve  your problems at the same level of thinking that you had when you  created them.   And, a Sovereign without Knowledge is not a Sovereign,  because if your “governors” are more knowledgeable than you, then they  can (will) steal what you have.  It’s been going on for thousand of  years.  Don’t you think it’s time to set a new course?   If so, the  knowledge is the first key.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In the words of Theodore Roosevelt in 1907 at the Jamestown Exposition: “Men can never escape being governed.  They must govern themselves or submit to being governed by others.  If from lawlessness, fickleness , folly, or self-indulgence they refuse to govern themselves, then most assuredly they will have to be governed by other.  A sovereign cannot make excuses for his failures; a sovereign must accept the responsibility for the exercise of the <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>POWER</strong></span><strong> </strong>that inheres in him.”</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">To become it.…you must live it.  It’s an imperative.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Last piece of business.…I want to extend a special thanks to Keith Hansen of Visigoth Radio for being an excellent interviewer.  I believe this is due to his level of knowledge from his own past research; which is very commendable in today’s world.…since the ancient MAXIM is: <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>IGNORANCE IS NO EXCUSE</strong></span>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So, kudos to Keith.   We will do this again…shortly.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">This is the continuation of the Interview with Keith Hansen of Visigoth Radio.   I had a  crash in production software yesterday, so this segment is ~14 min.  The remaining 12 minutes will be “re-shot” and “re-produced” and posted later today.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So, please look for it.   All radio shows and conference calls from this point forward, will be on MATRIX SOLUTIONS.  They will be edited to remove any “fluff”, foul language (as often occurs when people hear TRUTH about “their condition”), and irrelevancies.</p>
<div id="attachment_1026" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 108px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-1026" href="http://therightofselfdetermination.com/visigoth-radio-2/jfk"><img class="size-full wp-image-1026" title="jfk" src="http://therightofselfdetermination.com/wp-content/uploads/jfk.jpg" alt="" width="98" height="140" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">—JIM GARRISON— The Man who WOKE UP</p></div>
<p>Previously, I said that I was not going to talk as much about “how bad it is” (meaning how hard the system is crashing and going to continue to crash as they prepare to institute the North American Union).  However, that is unavoidable on Radio.  People don’t seek SOLUTIONS until they “wake up”.   And, if you want to see how that really occurs in one man’s life, then my best recommendation is to watch the movie: JFK by Oliver Stone.  Kevin Costner “plays” the part of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Garrison">Jim Garrison</a> who was the New Orleans District Attorney that “woke up” to the fact that “Attorneys in THEIR system” have no STANDING.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Garrison learned that the media and the top-level officials could de-rail any effort to expose the Plot behind Kennedy’s murder.   He learned that “exposing” in THEIR “U.S. System”; can get you and your family incarcerated or killed.   And, I dare say that every member on this site knows of people who were trying to expose contemptable elements of the U.S. MATRIX.…banking, chlorine, fluoride, GMO food, education, IRS, etc.…that are now  in prison for their efforts.  In fact, some of you know of people that are now dead.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Why are these people in Prison?   NO IMMUNITY.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And, why were some killed?  Because they, like you, are <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>OWNED by the SYSTEM</strong></span></em>.  You must have an agreement/contract in place that secures Immunity.  This FACT, coupled with the FACT that these people were trying to <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>change a SYSTEM that is not theirs to chang</strong></em><em><strong>e</strong></em></span>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I know this firsthand.  Together, I and many of the others around me, took our <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>complaints</strong></span> all the way to the World Court in the Hague.   That Court looked at one, and only one issue: STANDING.   The World Court wrote letters back to us; specifically stating that our filings were “Refused for Cause due to Lack of Standing to file” in that Court.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This was in 2001 before I gained my STATUS and got an Acknowledged Agreement with the U.S./global-system.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">_____________________________________________</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Enjoy Part 2.  I will email a link to Part 3 or posted is on this blog; and re-post this segment.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Good Afternoon everyone.</p>
<p>I hope you’re well and in good spirits.   This blog contains the Radio Program that I did last Friday.  In fact, it is more than just mere audio; I have turned that Radio Show into an A/V presentation.  It’s at the bottom and it ROCKS.</p>
<p>It has been a while since “new” material has come out; so let me explain why.</p>
<div id="attachment_890" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 176px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-890" href="http://therightofselfdetermination.com/visigoth-radio/immunity-8"><img class="size-full wp-image-890" title="immunity" src="http://therightofselfdetermination.com/wp-content/uploads/immunity7.jpg" alt="" width="166" height="204" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">GLOBAL PROTECTION BY CONTRACT  You’re either with it or without it  THERE’S NO MIDDLE GROUND</p></div>
<p>1) I had to have some dental work 3 weeks ago and I needed to recover.  What a pain in the…mouth.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">2)  I got a chance to monitor how many people were actually reading and studying the information and material on the last blog; wherein I placed in several documents and PDFs to read on Diplomacy, Consular Relations, and How to Protect Foreign Nationals Abroad.   In other words; this International material and documentation was about getting you “up to speed” and UNDER-STANDING the protocols that are REQUIRED to live by once you are out of a Debtor Nation Subject Citizen Slave position and operating with Immunity.</p>
<p>The conclusion is this.….…</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I am going to change directions on the website.  I am no longer going to just “place material” up for study and review.  Too many people are not reading the material.  This is not to cast blame or aspersions on anyone…certainly not anyone that downloaded and read the material.  However, I have come to realize that many, many people simply do not have the time to read, or absorb massive amounts of material.  This is due the current state of affairs and times we live, wherein, shall we say…“life is getting in the way” because people are  “so busy “with the “normal” routines and stresses that they don’t have adequate time or energy to do the “education download” necessary to become proficient about these materials and protocols.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In addition, some of the people who are downloading and printing off the documents to study and learn; are having a problem with UNDER-STANDING some of the information.   Knowledge is the key to freedom and I appreciate everyone’s effort, because I know how “we” all long for freedom.   But, freedom is not free.  It is the ULTIMATE RESPONSIBILITY,…and I now realize is that without some of the background that I have; whereby “we” filed in many federal courts (early on), in the US SUPREME COURT (in 2004), in the UN (on multiple occasions), and 4 cases in the World Court at the Hague in 2002; many people simply do not and will not have the experiences necessary to UNDER-STAND some of the technicalities of the International Agreements, Treaties, and Protocols.   I didn’t have it in the beginning, either.…and believe me…the learning never stops.  Especially for me, because mistakes can be more costly at the International level.</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;">However, complaining is not profitable when education is the <strong><em>necessary answer</em></strong>, and there is no such thing as a problem without a solution to me.  That is where the name: MATRIX SOLUTIONS came from.  So, creating a Solution in this current states of affairs is my JOB.</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So, here’s what “we” are going to do to make sure that everyone understands and properly “downloads this in-CODED-system” (i.e. learns) like Neo did in the movie.…so that he could “see” and then create a Paradigm (State) necessary to “come out in Peace”:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">1)  I will stop talking about the “problem” as much.   When it comes to basics, people want to know 2 general things.   We all want to know “how bad it is” and “what we can do about it”.   So, I am going to produce a DVD series that will lay out nearly every aspect of “<strong><em>law and history</em></strong>” in the United States.  It will “<strong><em>dis-spell</em></strong>” <em><strong>you </strong></em>from notions that <em><strong>you </strong></em>have any “rights” in a DEBTOR NATION-STATE JURISDICTION.  If you don’t know the “codes of the Matrix”, you could get caught in them and violate the International Public Order; unintentionally.  The DVD Series will be called <span style="text-decoration: underline;">THE LEGAL MATRIX, A Web of Catch 22’s</span>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">2) From now on, the website will become geared towards presentations done either by me (individually) or by me teaching or talking with other people (whether leaders or learners) about International Law, International Protocols, and “<strong><em>total</em></strong>” Self Determination.  All Educational Presentations on International Law, or a Treaty, or an International Convention will be in A/V format.  This will be done so that I can read the pure text of the document and then elaborate on the significant parts and/or explain the parts that may be vague or easy to “mis”-Under-Stand.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It will take longer for me to produce, but again; that’s my JOB.  People must know the truth and that TRUTH is that “you have no rights and you own nothing”.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<div id="attachment_1016" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 610px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-1016" href="http://therightofselfdetermination.com/visigoth-radio/yourcondition-8"><img class="size-large wp-image-1016" title="yourcondition" src="http://therightofselfdetermination.com/wp-content/uploads/yourcondition7-600x145.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="145" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">ALL PROPERTY OF THE UNITED STATES AND 50 STATES/POSSESSIONS BELONGS TO THE STATE/POSTERITY…AND YOU BELONG TO THE STATE TOO</p></div>
<p>*</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Uncle Sam’s Club is not here to “secure anything for you”.   This is  why THEY left the door open Self-Determination in Law of Nations, in  Treaties, and in International Law.  You cannot protect any property or resources without exercising the Right of Self  Determination, because “the stuff” that you “think” is “your stuff” is not “your  stuff”.…because it belongs to the State to which you BELONG as   Subject-Citizen Chattel.   That includes your children, because your “little ones” BELONG to Sam, as well.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Now, that’s THE CONDITION.!!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">[NOTE:  They even got you to call them “children”…i.e.  “Killed-ren”…because you CONFESSED TO THE SYSTEM that your “little  ones” were DEAD ON ARRIVAL.  Yes.…by not UNDER-STANDING the “pen”…you “killed them” on paper upon arrival.   To top that off, THEY got you to then “raise an addition to the Adult Human Race”.…meaning an addition to the Adulterous Hue-moon Res or Adulterous Monster Thing.  Still think that the Illuminati and Captain Kirk (the “ch“ur“ch”/Vatican) are playing a game?   Captain Kurk/church and its cohorts/courts run this ENTERPRISE through their COMPANIES of SOLDIERS (who sold themselves).   THEY pay “wages” to Companies to “wage war” through (your) occupation.  It’s their “prize” and juris-DICTION is their most powerful SILENT WEAPON.    Look up the words-sword being used against you against and Silent Weapons technology.   <a href="http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=court">Court</a>—<a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cohort">cohort</a>—<a href="http://www.lawfulpath.com/ref/sw4qw/">Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars</a>]</p>
<div id="attachment_1013" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 610px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-1013" href="http://therightofselfdetermination.com/visigoth-radio/matrixchoiceb"><img class="size-full wp-image-1013" title="matrixchoiceb" src="http://therightofselfdetermination.com/wp-content/uploads/matrixchoiceb.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="132" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The Door of Light —- Leads to—-The Problem of Choice</p></div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">There  are 2 parts to exercising <em><strong>total </strong></em>self determination (stewardship).   First comes Economic  Determination and, then, the Right of Self-Determination.   Both of  these must coincide and be done jointly, because they go “hand-in-hand”.  You cannot “self-determine” if you are broke and have no   resources.  THE LAW OF NECESSITY (survival) is the most primal law of   all  Principles in this Universe.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And, you cannot protect any asset that you may acquire; because…since you BELONG to the State…the STATE owns your body, your energy, your mind, and therefore, <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>even your intellectual property</em></span>.  You cannot protect it by “patenting” in their “jurisdiction”; any more so than if you created a New Product or Technology while working at IBM.   It is a Master-Slave relationship.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And, as far as “lasting peace and security and protection of asset”; we know that the forerunners using the Law of Nations stated that to “secure these freedoms” you must INSTITUTE A GOVERNMENT.…which no one can do alone.  But, during times of change, times of oppression, and times of “evolution”; there are some people that are “called out” ahead of others.  I am a part of those people.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And I am not alone.…there are others.  It is not because “we” are any smarter or more special; it’s a CHOICE.   The problem, as you were told…is CHOICE.   That CHOICE is called the <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>Right of Self-Determination of peoples</strong></em></span>.</p>
<p>Here’s the bottom line about Matrix Solutions and the Right of Self-Determination…it’s the only KEY that fits the DOOR. The Presentation below is a Visigoth Radio Show turned audio/visual to enhance the message conveyed.  I had to do it in 3 parts.  This is Part 1–31 minutes.   The rest will be up tomorrow.</p>
<p>All the best.  Enjoy.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[JOHN, by the grace of God King of England, Lord of Ireland, Duke of Normandy and Aquitaine, and Count of Anjou, to his archbishops, bishops, abbots, earls, barons, justices, foresters, sheriffs, stewards, servants, and to all his officials and loyal subjects, Greeting.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>The Text of Magna Carta</h1>
<h2>Introductory Note</h2>
<p>As might be expected, the text of the Magna Carta of 1215 bears many traces of haste, and is clearly the product of much bargaining and many hands. Most of its clauses deal with specific, and often long-standing, grievances rather than with general principles of law. Some of the grievances are self-explanatory: others can be understood only in the context of the feudal society in which they arose. Of a few clauses, the precise meaning is still a matter of argument.</p>
<div id="attachment_866" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://therightofselfdetermination.com/wp-content/uploads/800px-Magna_Carta.jpg" rel="shadowbox[post-864];player=img;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-866 " title="800px-Magna_Carta" src="http://therightofselfdetermination.com/wp-content/uploads/800px-Magna_Carta-300x199.jpg" alt="the Magna Carta" width="300" height="199" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The document that started…  something</p></div>
<p>In feudal society, the king’s barons held their lands ‘in fee’ (<em>feudum</em>) from the king, for an oath to him of loyalty and obedience, and with the obligation to provide him with a fixed number of knights whenever these were required for military service. At first the barons provided the knights by dividing their estates (of which the largest and most important were known as ‘honours’) into smaller parcels described as ‘knights’ fees’, which they distributed to tenants able to serve as knights. But by the time of King John it had become more convenient and usual for the obligation for service to be commuted for a cash payment known as ‘scutage’, and for the revenue so obtained to be used to maintain paid armies.</p>
<p>Besides military service, feudal custom allowed the king to make certain other exactions from his barons. In times of emergency, and on such special occasions as the marriage of his eldest daughter, he could demand from them a financial levy known as an ‘aid’ (<em>auxilium</em>). When a baron died, he could demand a succession duty or ‘relief’ (<em>relevium</em>) from the baron’s heir. If there was no heir, or if the succession was disputed, the baron’s lands could be forfeited or ‘escheated’ to the Crown. If the heir was under age, the king could assume the guardianship of his estates, and enjoy all the profits from them-ven to the extent of despoliation-until the heir came of age. The king had the right, if he chose, to sell such a guardianship to the highest bidder, and to sell the heir himself in marriage for such price as the value of his estates would command. The widows and daughters of barons might also be sold in marriage. With their own tenants, the barons could deal similarly.</p>
<p>The scope for extortion and abuse in this system, if it were not benevolently applied, was obviously great and had been the subject of complaint long before King John came to the throne. Abuses were, moreover, aggravated by the difficulty of obtaining redress for them, and in Magna Carta the provision of the means for obtaining a fair hearing of complaints, not only against the king and his agents but against lesser feudal lords, achieves corresponding importance.</p>
<p>About two-thirds of the clauses of the Magna Carta of 1215 are concerned with matters such as these, and with the misuse of their powers by royal officials. As regards other topics, the first clause, conceding the freedom of the Church, and in particular confirming its right to elect its own dignitaries without royal interference, reflects John’s dispute with the Pope over Stephen Langton’s election as archbishop of Canterbury: it does not appear in the Articles of the Barons, and its somewhat stilted phrasing seems in part to be attempting to justify its inclusion, none the less, in the charter itself. The clauses that deal with the royal forests (§§ 44, 47, 48), over which the king had special powers and jurisdiction, reflect the disquiet and anxieties that had arisen on account of a longstanding royal tendency to extend the forest boundaries, to the detriment of the holders of the lands affected. Those that deal with debts (§§ 9-1l) reflect administrative problems created by the chronic scarcity of ready cash among the upper and middle classes, and their need to resort to money-lenders when this was required. The clause promising the removal of fish-weirs (§ 33) was intended to facilitate the navigation of rivers. A number of clauses deal with the special circumstances that surrounded the making of the charter, and are such as might be found in any treaty of peace. Others, such as those relating to the city of London (§ 13) and to merchants (§ 41), clearly represent concessions to special interests.</p>
<h2>Translation</h2>
<p>(Clauses marked (+) are still valid under the charter of 1225, but with a few minor amendments.  Clauses marked (*) were omitted in all later reissues of the charter. In the charter itself the clauses are not numbered, and the text reads continuously. The translation sets out to convey the sense rather than the precise wording of the original Latin.)</p>
<h1>The Magna Charta</h1>
<p>JOHN, by the grace of God King of England, Lord of Ireland, Duke of Normandy and Aquitaine, and Count of Anjou, to his archbishops, bishops, abbots, earls, barons, justices, foresters, sheriffs, stewards, servants, and to all his officials and loyal subjects, Greeting.</p>
<p>KNOW THAT BEFORE GOD, for the health of our soul and those of our ancestors and heirs, to the honour of God, the exaltation of the holy Church, and the better ordering of our kingdom, at the advice of our reverend fathers Stephen, archbishop of Canterbury, primate of all England, and cardinal of the holy Roman Church, Henry archbishop of Dublin, William bishop of London, Peter bishop of Winchester, Jocelin bishop of Bath and Glastonbury, Hugh bishop of Lincoln, Walter Bishop of Worcester, William bishop of Coventry, Benedict bishop of Rochester, Master Pandulf subdeacon and member of the papal household, Brother Aymeric master of the knighthood of the Temple in England, William Marshal earl of Pembroke, William earl of Salisbury, William earl of Warren, William earl of Arundel, Alan de Galloway constable of Scotland, Warin Fitz Gerald, Peter Fitz Herbert, Hubert de Burgh seneschal of Poitou, Hugh de Neville, Matthew Fitz Herbert, Thomas Basset, Alan Basset, Philip Daubeny, Robert de Roppeley, John Marshal, John Fitz Hugh, and other loyal subjects:</p>
<p>+ (1) FIRST, THAT WE HAVE GRANTED TO GOD, and by this present charter have confirmed for us and our heirs in perpetuity, that the English Church shall be free, and shall have its rights undiminished, and its liberties unimpaired. That we wish this so to be observed, appears from the fact that of our own free will, before the outbreak of the present dispute between us and our barons, we granted and confirmed by charter the freedom of the Church’s elections — a right reckoned to be of the greatest necessity and importance to it — and caused this to be confirmed by Pope Innocent III. This freedom we shall observe ourselves, and desire to be observed in good faith by our heirs in perpetuity.</p>
<p>TO ALL FREE MEN OF OUR KINGDOM we have also granted, for us and our heirs for ever, all the liberties written out below, to have and to keep for them and their heirs, of us and our heirs:</p>
<p>(2) If any earl, baron, or other person that holds lands directly of the Crown, for military service, shall die, and at his death his heir shall be of full age and owe a ‘relief’, the heir shall have his inheritance on payment of the ancient scale of ‘relief’. That is to say, the heir or heirs of an earl shall pay £100 for the entire earl’s barony, the heir or heirs of a knight l00s. at most for the entire knight’s ‘fee’, and any man that owes less shall pay less, in accordance with the ancient usage of ‘fees’</p>
<p>(3) But if the heir of such a person is under age and a ward, when he comes of age he shall have his inheritance without ‘relief’ or fine.</p>
<p>(4) The guardian of the land of an heir who is under age shall take from it only reasonable revenues, customary dues, and feudal services. He shall do this without destruction or damage to men or property. If we have given the guardianship of the land to a sheriff, or to any person answerable to us for the revenues, and he commits destruction or damage, we will exact compensation from him, and the land shall be entrusted to two worthy and prudent men of the same ‘fee’, who shall be answerable to us for the revenues, or to the person to whom we have assigned them. If we have given or sold to anyone the guardianship of such land, and he causes destruction or damage, he shall lose the guardianship of it, and it shall be handed over to two worthy and prudent men of the same ‘fee’, who shall be similarly answerable to us.</p>
<p>(5) For so long as a guardian has guardianship of such land, he shall maintain the houses, parks, fish preserves, ponds, mills, and everything else pertaining to it, from the revenues of the land itself. When the heir comes of age, he shall restore the whole land to him, stocked with plough teams and such implements of husbandry as the season demands and the revenues from the land can reasonably bear.</p>
<p>(6) Heirs may be given in marriage, but not to someone of lower social standing. Before a marriage takes place, it shall be’ made known to the heir’s next-of-kin.</p>
<p>(7) At her husband’s death, a widow may have her marriage portion and inheritance at once and without trouble. She shall pay nothing for her dower, marriage portion, or any inheritance that she and her husband held jointly on the day of his death. She may remain in her husband’s house for forty days after his death, and within this period her dower shall be assigned to her.</p>
<p>(8) No widow shall be compelled to marry, so long as she wishes to remain without a husband. But she must give security that she will not marry without royal consent, if she holds her lands of the Crown, or without the consent of whatever other lord she may hold them of.</p>
<p>(9) Neither we nor our officials will seize any land or rent in payment of a debt, so long as the debtor has movable goods sufficient to discharge the debt. A debtor’s sureties shall not be distrained upon so long as the debtor himself can discharge his debt. If, for lack of means, the debtor is unable to discharge his debt, his sureties shall be answerable for it. If they so desire, they may have the debtor’s lands and rents until they have received satisfaction for the debt that they paid for him, unless the debtor can show that he has settled his obligations to them.</p>
<p>* (10) If anyone who has borrowed a sum of money from Jews dies before the debt has been repaid, his heir shall pay no interest on the debt for so long as he remains under age, irrespective of whom he holds his lands. If such a debt falls into the hands of the Crown, it will take nothing except the principal sum specified in the bond.</p>
<p>* (11) If a man dies owing money to Jews, his wife may have her dower and pay nothing towards the debt from it. If he leaves children that are under age, their needs may also be provided for on a scale appropriate to the size of his holding of lands. The debt is to be paid out of the residue, reserving the service due to his feudal lords. Debts owed to persons other than Jews are to be dealt with similarly.</p>
<p>* (12) No ‘scutage’ or ‘aid’ may be levied in our kingdom without its general consent, unless it is for the ransom of our person, to make our eldest son a knight, and (once) to marry our eldest daughter. For these purposes ouly a reasonable ‘aid’ may be levied. ‘Aids’ from the city of London are to be treated similarly.</p>
<p>+ (13) The city of London shall enjoy all its ancient liberties and free customs, both by land and by water. We also will and grant that all other cities, boroughs, towns, and ports shall enjoy all their liberties and free customs.</p>
<p>* (14) To obtain the general consent of the realm for the assessment of an ‘aid’ — except in the three cases specified above — or a ‘scutage’, we will cause the archbishops, bishops, abbots, earls, and greater barons to be summoned individually by letter. To those who hold lands directly of us we will cause a general summons to be issued, through the sheriffs and other officials, to come together on a fixed day (of which at least forty days notice shall be given) and at a fixed place. In all letters of summons, the cause of the summons will be stated. When a summons has been issued, the business appointed for the day shall go forward in accordance with the resolution of those present, even if not all those who were summoned have appeared.</p>
<p>* (15) In future we will allow no one to levy an ‘aid’ from his free men, except to ransom his person, to make his eldest son a knight, and (once) to marry his eldest daughter. For these purposes only a reasonable ‘aid’ may be levied.</p>
<p>(16) No man shall be forced to perform more service for a knight’s ‘fee’, or other free holding of land, than is due from it.</p>
<p>(17) Ordinary lawsuits shall not follow the royal court around, but shall be held in a fixed place.</p>
<p>(18) Inquests of <em>novel disseisin</em>, <em>mort d’ancestor</em>, and <em>darrein presentment</em> shall be taken only in their proper county court. We ourselves, or in our absence abroad our chief justice, will send two justices to each county four times a year, and these justices, with four knights of the county elected by the county itself, shall hold the assizes in the county court, on the day and in the place where the court meets.</p>
<p>(19) If any assizes cannot be taken on the day of the county court, as many knights and freeholders shall afterwards remain behind, of those who have attended the court, as will suffice for the administration of justice, having regard to the volume of business to be done.</p>
<p>(20) For a trivial offence, a free man shall be fined only in proportion to the degree of his offence, and for a serious offence correspondingly, but not so heavily as to deprive him of his livelihood. In the same way, a merchant shall be spared his merchandise, and a husbandman the implements of his husbandry, if they fall upon the mercy of a royal court. None of these fines shall be imposed except by the assessment on oath of reputable men of the neighbourhood.</p>
<p>(21) Earls and barons shall be fined only by their equals, and in proportion to the gravity of their offence.</p>
<p>(22) A fine imposed upon the lay property of a clerk in holy orders shall be assessed upon the same principles, without reference to the value of his ecclesiastical benefice.</p>
<p>(23) No town or person shall be forced to build bridges over rivers except those with an ancient obligation to do so.</p>
<p>(24) No sheriff, constable, coroners, or other royal officials are to hold lawsuits that should be held by the royal justices.</p>
<p>* (25) Every county, hundred, wapentake, and tithing shall remain at its ancient rent, without increase, except the royal demesne manors.</p>
<p>(26) If at the death of a man who holds a lay ‘fee’ of the Crown, a sheriff or royal official produces royal letters patent of summons for a debt due to the Crown, it shall be lawful for them to seize and list movable goods found in the lay ‘fee’ of the dead man to the value of the debt, as assessed by worthy men. Nothing shall be removed until the whole debt is paid, when the residue shall be given over to the executors to carry out the dead man s will. If no debt is due to the Crown, all the movable goods shall be regarded as the property of the dead man, except the reasonable shares of his wife and children.</p>
<p>* (27) If a free man dies intestate, his movable goods are to be distributed by his next-of-kin and friends, under the supervision of the Church. The rights of his debtors are to be preserved.</p>
<p>(28) No constable or other royal official shall take corn or other movable goods from any man without immediate payment, unless the seller voluntarily offers postponement of this.</p>
<p>(29) No constable may compel a knight to pay money for castle-guard if the knight is willing to undertake the guard in person, or with reasonable excuse to supply some other fit man to do it. A knight taken or sent on military service shall be excused from castle-guard for the period of this servlce.</p>
<p>(30) No sheriff, royal official, or other person shall take horses or carts for transport from any free man, without his consent.</p>
<p>(31) Neither we nor any royal official will take wood for our castle, or for any other purpose, without the consent of the owner.</p>
<p>(32) We will not keep the lands of people convicted of felony in our hand for longer than a year and a day, after which they shall be returned to the lords of the ‘fees’ concerned.</p>
<p>(33) All fish-weirs shall be removed from the Thames, the Medway, and throughout the whole of England, except on the sea coast.</p>
<p>(34) The writ called <em>precipe</em> shall not in future be issued to anyone in respect of any holding of land, if a free man could thereby be deprived of the right of trial in his own lord’s court.</p>
<p>(35) There shall be standard measures of wine, ale, and corn (the London quarter), throughout the kingdom. There shall also be a standard width of dyed cloth, russett, and haberject, namely two ells within the selvedges. Weights are to be standardised similarly.</p>
<p>(36) In future nothing shall be paid or accepted for the issue of a writ of inquisition of life or limbs. It shall be given gratis, and not refused.</p>
<p>(37) If a man holds land of the Crown by ‘fee-farm’, ‘socage’, or ‘burgage’, and also holds land of someone else for knight’s service, we will not have guardianship of his heir, nor of the land that belongs to the other person’s ‘fee’, by virtue of the ‘fee-farm’, ‘socage’, or ‘burgage’, unless the ‘fee-farm’ owes knight’s service. We will not have the guardianship of a man’s heir, or of land that he holds of someone else, by reason of any small property that he may hold of the Crown for a service of knives, arrows, or the like.</p>
<p>(38) In future no official shall place a man on trial upon his own unsupported statement, without producing credible witnesses to the truth of it.</p>
<p>+ (39) No free man shall be seized or imprisoned, or stripped of his rights or possessions, or outlawed or exiled, or deprived of his standing in any other way, nor will we proceed with force against him, or send others to do so, except by the lawful judgement of his equals or by the law of the land.</p>
<p>+ (40) To no one will we sell, to no one deny or delay right or justice.</p>
<p>(41) All merchants may enter or leave England unharmed and without fear, and may stay or travel within it, by land or water, for purposes of trade, free from all illegal exactions, in accordance with ancient and lawful customs. This, however, does not apply in time of war to merchants from a country that is at war with us. Any such merchants found in our country at the outbreak of war shall be detained without injury to their persons or property, until we or our chief justice have discovered how our own merchants are being treated in the country at war with us. If our own merchants are safe they shall be safe too.</p>
<p>* (42) In future it shall be lawful for any man to leave and return to our kingdom unharmed and without fear, by land or water, preserving his allegiance to us, except in time of war, for some short period, for the common benefit of the realm. People that have been imprisoned or outlawed in accordance with the law of the land, people from a country that is at war with us, and merchants — who shall be dealt with as stated above — are excepted from this provision.</p>
<p>(43) If a man holds lands of any ‘escheat’ such as the ‘honour’ of Wallingford, Nottingham, Boulogne, Lancaster, or of other ‘escheats’ in our hand that are baronies, at his death his heir shall give us only the ‘relief’ and service that he would have made to the baron, had the barony been in the baron’s hand. We will hold the ‘escheat’ in the same manner as the baron held it.</p>
<p>(44) People who live outside the forest need not in future appear before the royal justices of the forest in answer to general summonses, unless they are actually involved in proceedings or are sureties for someone who has been seized for a forest offence.</p>
<p>* (45) We will appoint as justices, constables, sheriffs, or other officials, only men that know the law of the realm and are minded to keep it well.</p>
<p>(46) All barons who have founded abbeys, and have charters of English kings or ancient tenure as evidence of this, may have guardianship of them when there is no abbot, as is their due.</p>
<p>(47) All forests that have been created in our reign shall at once be disafforested. River-banks that have been enclosed in our reign shall be treated similarly.</p>
<p>* (48) All evil customs relating to forests and warrens, foresters, warreners, sheriffs and their servants, or river-banks and their wardens, are at once to be investigated in every county by twelve sworn knights of the county, and within forty days of their enquiry the evil customs are to be abolished completely and irrevocably. But we, or our chief justice if we are not in England, are first to be informed.</p>
<p>* (49) We will at once return all hostages and charters delivered up to us by Englishmen as security for peace or for loyal service.</p>
<p>* (50) We will remove completely from their offices the kinsmen of Gerard de Athée, and in future they shall hold no offices in England. The people in question are Engelard de Cigogné’, Peter, Guy, and Andrew de Chanceaux, Guy de Cigogné, Geoffrey de Martigny and his brothers, Philip Marc and his brothers, with Geoffrey his nephew, and all their followers.</p>
<p>* (51) As soon as peace is restored, we will remove from the kingdom all the foreign knights, bowmen, their attendants, and the mercenaries that have come to it, to its harm, with horses and arms.</p>
<p>* (52) To any man whom we have deprived or dispossessed of lands, castles, liberties, or rights, without the lawful judgement of his equals, we will at once restore these. In cases of dispute the matter shall be resolved by the judgement of the twenty-five barons referred to below in the clause for securing the peace (§ 61). In cases, however, where a man was deprived or dispossessed of something without the lawful judgement of his equals by our father King Henry or our brother King Richard, and it remains in our hands or is held by others under our warranty, we shall have respite for the period commonly allowed to Crusaders, unless a lawsuit had been begun, or an enquiry had been made at our order, before we took the Cross as a Crusader. On our return from the Crusade, or if we abandon it, we will at once render justice in full.</p>
<p>* (53) We shall have similar respite in rendering justice in connexion with forests that are to be disafforested, or to remain forests, when these were first a-orested by our father Henry or our brother Richard; with the guardianship of lands in another person’s ‘fee’, when we have hitherto had this by virtue of a ‘fee’ held of us for knight’s service by a third party; and with abbeys founded in another person’s ‘fee’, in which the lord of the ‘fee’ claims to own a right. On our return from the Crusade, or if we abandon it, we will at once do full justice to complaints about these matters.</p>
<p>(54) No one shall be arrested or imprisoned on the appeal of a woman for the death of any person except her husband.</p>
<p>* (55) All fines that have been given to us unjustiy and against the law of the land, and all fines that we have exacted unjustly, shall be entirely remitted or the matter decided by a majority judgement of the twenty-five barons referred to below in the clause for securing the peace (§ 61) together with Stephen, archbishop of Canterbury, if he can be present, and such others as he wishes to bring with him. If the archbishop cannot be present, proceedings shall continue without him, provided that if any of the twenty-five barons has been involved in a similar suit himself, his judgement shall be set aside, and someone else chosen and sworn in his place, as a substitute for the single occasion, by the rest of the twenty-five.</p>
<p>(56) If we have deprived or dispossessed any Welshmen of lands, liberties, or anything else in England or in Wales, without the lawful judgement of their equals, these are at once to be returned to them. A dispute on this point shall be determined in the Marches by the judgement of equals. English law shall apply to holdings of land in England, Welsh law to those in Wales, and the law of the Marches to those in the Marches. The Welsh shall treat us and ours in the same way.</p>
<p>* (57) In cases where a Welshman was deprived or dispossessed of anything, without the lawful judgement of his equals, by our father King Henry or our brother King Richard, and it remains in our hands or is held by others under our warranty, we shall have respite for the period commonly allowed to Crusaders, unless a lawsuit had been begun, or an enquiry had been made at our order, before we took the Cross as a Crusader. But on our return from the Crusade, or if we abandon it, we will at once do full justice according to the laws of Wales and the said regions.</p>
<p>* (58) We will at once return the son of Llywelyn, all Welsh hostages, and the charters delivered to us as security for the peace.</p>
<p>* (59) With regard to the return of the sisters and hostages of Alexander, king of Scotland, his liberties and his rights, we will treat him in the same way as our other barons of England, unless it appears from the charters that we hold from his father William, formerly king of Scotland, that he should be treated otherwise. This matter shall be resolved by the judgement of his equals in our court.</p>
<p>(60) All these customs and liberties that we have granted shall be observed in our kingdom in so far as concerns our own relations with our subjects. Let all men of our kingdom, whether clergy or laymen, observe them similarly in their relations with their own men.</p>
<p>* (61) SINCE WE HAVE GRANTED ALL THESE THINGS for God, for the better ordering of our kingdom, and to allay the discord that has arisen between us and our barons, and since we desire that they shall be enjoyed in their entirety, with lasting strength, for ever, we give and grant to the barons the following security:</p>
<blockquote><p>The barons shall elect twenty-five of their number to keep, and cause to be observed with all their might, the peace and liberties granted and confirmed to them by this charter.If we, our chief justice, our officials, or any of our servants offend in any respect against any man, or transgress any of the articles of the peace or of this security, and the offence is made known to four of the said twenty-five barons, they shall come to us — or in our absence from the kingdom to the chief justice — to declare it and claim immediate redress. If we, or in our absence abroad the chiefjustice, make no redress within forty days, reckoning from the day on which the offence was declared to us or to him, the four barons shall refer the matter to the rest of the twenty-five barons, who may distrain upon and assail us in every way possible, with the support of the whole community of the land, by seizing our castles, lands, possessions, or anything else saving only our own person and those of the queen and our children, until they have secured such redress as they have determined upon. Having secured the redress, they may then resume their normal obedience to us.</p>
<p>Any man who so desires may take an oath to obey the commands of the twenty-five barons for the achievement of these ends, and to join with them in assailing us to the utmost of his power. We give public and free permission to take this oath to any man who so desires, and at no time will we prohibit any man from taking it. Indeed, we will compel any of our subjects who are unwilling to take it to swear it at our command.</p>
<p>If-one of the twenty-five barons dies or leaves the country, or is prevented in any other way from discharging his duties, the rest of them shall choose another baron in his place, at their discretion, who shall be duly sworn in as they were.</p>
<p>In the event of disagreement among the twenty-five barons on any matter referred to them for decision, the verdict of the majority present shall have the same validity as a unanimous verdict of the whole twenty-five, whether these were all present or some of those summoned were unwilling or unable to appear.</p>
<p>The twenty-five barons shall swear to obey all the above articles faithfully, and shall cause them to be obeyed by others to the best of their power.</p>
<p>We will not seek to procure from anyone, either by our own efforts or those of a third party, anything by which any part of these concessions or liberties might be revoked or diminished. Should such a thing be procured, it shall be null and void and we will at no time make use of it, either ourselves or through a third party.</p></blockquote>
<p>* (62) We have remitted and pardoned fully to all men any ill-will, hurt, or grudges that have arisen between us and our subjects, whether clergy or laymen, since the beginning of the dispute. We have in addition remitted fully, and for our own part have also pardoned, to all clergy and laymen any offences committed as a result of the said dispute between Easter in the sixteenth year of our reign (i.e. 1215) and the restoration of peace.</p>
<p>In addition we have caused letters patent to be made for the barons, bearing witness to this security and to the concessions set out above, over the seals of Stephen archbishop of Canterbury, Henry archbishop of Dublin, the other bishops named above, and Master Pandulf.</p>
<p>* (63) IT IS ACCORDINGLY OUR WISH AND COMMAND that the English Church shall be free, and that men in our kingdom shall have and keep all these liberties, rights, and concessions, well and peaceably in their fulness and entirety for them and their heirs, of us and our heirs, in all things and all places for ever.</p>
<p>Both we and the barons have sworn that all this shall be observed in good faith and without deceit. Witness the abovementioned people and many others.</p>
<p>Given by our hand in the meadow that is called Runnymede, between Windsor and Staines, on the fifteenth day of June in the seventeenth year of our reign (i.e. 1215: the new regnal year began on 28 May).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">The Dario Busch Federal case that was set for trial at the end of August is winding down.  That case was in the US DISTRICT COURT for the EASTERN DISTRICT OF MISSOURI.   As you may already know, there was a Peaceful Settlement that was reached here, by the offer and acceptance of “pretrial diversion”.    I have received numerous “thank you’s” from Dario and others close to him; but none more meaningful than the one below.  I am posting this “From the Mailbag”.</p>
<div id="attachment_803" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-803" href="http://therightofselfdetermination.com/801/vccr1"><img class="size-medium wp-image-803" title="vccr1" src="http://therightofselfdetermination.com/wp-content/uploads/vccr1-300x288.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="288" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Are you prepared for self-governance?</p></div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">International Law, relating to the Vienna Convention on Consular Functions, gave the Bolivian Government the right.…and further, the duty; to assist one of its Nationals in getting assistance that would have been unavailable to a US Citizen (American).  If  you read the last blog and listened to the audio at the bottom, then you should appreciate the following e-mail  from Dario’s mother.   It is personally gratifying to have others acknowledge your work.   The work that was done here; was done with no other agenda in mind, other than doing the right thing.  But, it’s still nice when others notice.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Because Dario Busch had a following of people that were interested in remedies, I have done several  conference calls.  These are going to be edited and become part of the material for you to listen to and learn about how International Law, the Law of Nations, and International Treaties trump Domestic law in every Nation and why it is the Supreme Law of the Land in the United States.</p>

<p>I believe the worst is over now and I want to thank you so  much for all  your assistance in the cases. I believe that your time, effort and   knowledge have had the expected results. You were so right telling me  that I  should rest and wait for the good results, you sure knew what  you were saying! I  will be in eternal gratitude with you and thank our  Creator for you being there  for Dario, for me and for all who love my  son.</p>
<p>I am also hoping that the  Tampering case will have the same outcome so that Dario can travel to Idaho with  Ralph soonest.</p>
<p>Looking forward to your news, please let’s keep in  touch.</p>
<p>Kind regards,<br />
Elvira</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">It’s been 20 days since the last newsletter.  I have been traveling for the past two weeks in Texas.  Prior to that, we went to Washington, DC for several days where I met with the Mexican and Bolivian Embassies as stated in the last newsletter.….to wit, as I stated then:</p>
<div id="attachment_788" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-788" href="http://therightofselfdetermination.com/continuing-the-international-learning-curve/bolivianembassy-4"><img class="size-full wp-image-788" title="bolivianembassy" src="http://therightofselfdetermination.com/wp-content/uploads/bolivianembassy3.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="106" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Bolivian Embassy — Washington, DC</p></div>
<p>“I am going to be brief in this posting.   I leave tomorrow to sit down with the Bolivian Embassy in DC tomorrow afternoon to discuss the next steps that the Bolivian Legal Attaché should be taking in the matter of United States of America v. Dario Busch.   The Legal Attaché and I will then be meeting with the Mexican Embassy on Wednesday morning.”</p>
<p>These meetings went very well.  In the matter of the USA v. DARIO BUSCH; there has been an offer of pre-trial diversion.   This is something in their law, that I knew existed, but was unaware of the terminology.   So let me explain.</p>
<p>Diversion is an admission of culpability, but with a suspended sentence and post-diversion agreement monitoring.  In other words, the “accused” is freed on a probationary status that has certain strings attached.  Those strings are related to “keeping one’s nose clean”…so to speak.</p>
<p>But.…how does this apply to you?</p>
<p>In past blogs and past newsletter and numerous emails, I have mentioned that if you want to “come out of the Matrix or System”; you must learn how the rest of this Planet operates.  To that end, I recommended that you start reading and understanding the Treaties and Conventions on Consular and Diplomatic Relations.</p>
<p>So, how’s that going for you?  Are you learning what it’s going to take to Self-govern and come out from under your “Masters and slave-owners”?</p>
<p>The founders of the United States were businessmen.  They were businessmen that read and studied law, and treaties, and knew the LAW OF NATIONS.  On this planet, there is this “thing” that operates called THE FAMILY OF NATIONS.  The reason for this name is that the “nations” must have “rules” (I.e. Agreements) among themselves to make things function globally.  For instance, included in part of the Global Construct are Postal Treaties.</p>
<p>Let’s say that you “mail a letter” to Japan from the United States.  Does your letter, via some act of magic, somehow just appear in Japan?  No.  Your mail gets to Japan through the activation of dozens treaties when you placed your stamp (tax/fee) on your letter.   Once you gave the consideration for the stampage; and your letter was appropriate “sealed” by the post clerk (clergy); you engaged a contract that tapped into and opened up a series of Contracts like circuit switches that “light up” and engage once you turn the power on.  These include international fuel taxes, exchange rates on postage, and such.  The system is INTERNATIONAL.</p>
<p>Nothing happens by accident on this planet.   You are engaged in contracts and those contracts define your existence in relationship to governments, other men, and the Family of Nations.  Are you reading and learning about how this planet, which you live on, works? The founders of the U.S.A. were men.  Were they just men or uncommon men?  They stated that they were going to “assume their Separate and Equal Station among the Powers of the Earth”.</p>
<p>Those powers exercise Stewardship and put agreements in place that dictate how others on among the Family of Nations “treat” with THEM.  And, because of this “assumption of power to Self-Govern”; they afford themselves the status of Diplomatic Immunity.</p>
<p>In other words, in the matter of doing business on this Planet (i.e. Stewarding the Planet); there are 2 and only 2 kinds of people:<br />
1) Those doing business with Immunity and 2) those without Immunity.  Which are you?</p>
<p>Which do you want to be?  Are you reading the information and links that I/we have provided so that when you are ready to “assume your separate and EQUAL station”, you will know how to treat and treaty within the Family of Nations with Proper Decorum, without violating any other member of the Family of Nations; and thereby, acquire the Immunity that exercising THE RIGHT OF SELF DETERMINATION affords?</p>
<p>As stated in the previous newsletter, the word ‘solutions” is going to change to “solution”, since there is only “ONE KEY THAT FITS ONE DOOR”…to escape the nightmare that has become “citizenship or voluntary-servitude” on this Planet.</p>
<p>Extreme times call for Extreme Knowledge.  Neo did a massive “unlearning-learning matrix code download” when he first figured out that he needed to “wake up”.  We all need to do the same.  “Coming out of one System” to form another “society”, has never been “easy” on this Planet.  But, it has been necessary.</p>
<p>THEY have left the secrets behind.  In the Oregon Constitution, Article 1: Bill of Rights; it states that “men, when they FORM A SOCIAL COMPACT are Equal in Rights”.  Well, when did you “form” a social compact?  If the United States or States Constitions are Compacts; ie. Contracts among men.…when did you sign onto or FORM your Contract to “assume among the Powers your Equal Station”?   And, if you “think” (falsely think) that you did, then where are you documents showing your Immunity for doing so?</p>
<p>As stated previously in many of our blogs and other material; in the Jamestown Exposition in 1907 Theodore Roosevelt said that “men can never escape being governed.  They will either govern themselves or they will have to be governed by others.  If from lawlessness, fickleness, folly, or self-indulgence they refuse to govern themselves, then MOST ASSUREDLY in the end, they will have to be governed from the outside”.</p>
<p>So, one more time.….here’s the question to ponder.….“do you like being governed from the outside”?  What are you doing for yourself and your Posterity?</p>
<p>If you are asking about implementation of this Right of Self-Determination; that is being worked on all the time, by myself and others.  Believe me.…I made up my mind long ago that there is only one solution.  But, that doesn’t mean that it’s immediate.  And, the bigger question is: “Are you ready”?  It took the founders of the U.S.A. decades to decide to “break away” from Britain; and it took resources.   But for the sake of those that are considering their “condition” and are interested in establishing a new compact and gaining the immunities that are afforded; please listen to the audio.</p>
<p>This audio is a conversation between myself and Jonathan May.  Jonathan lives in the UK and has been instrumental in attempting to bring forward a different monetary system (Re-economy Program); based on real assets, intellectual property, and true productivity.   He worked with the famous Hunt Brothers of Texas in attempting to assist them in monetary reform in the United States.  If you are interested in his story and background; go to this link: <a href="http://www.ssrsi.org/Onsite/BBStext/jon_may.htm">http://www.ssrsi.org/Onsite/BBStext/jon_may.htm</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Propaganda (Download it here <a href="http://therightofselfdetermination.com/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=1" title="Propaganda - Bernays">Propaganda — Bernays</a>) is a funny word.  When people hear it, they instantly think “Nazi Germany,” “Communists” or “Big Brother.”  In fact, that’s not the first thing you should think.  Propaganda got a bad rap after it was learned that the most successful student of the man who wrote the book (literally) on mass influence was the propaganda minister for the Nazi Party.  You may have heard the name <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/joseph_goebbels" title="Joseph Goebbels" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Goebbels" target="_blank">Joseph Goebbels</a> before, and you may have even read Propaganda here.   These are not new facts to many here.</p>
<div id="attachment_184" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://therightofselfdetermination.com/wp-content/uploads/propaganda1.jpg" rel="shadowbox[post-707];player=img;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-184 " title="Propaganda" src="http://therightofselfdetermination.com/wp-content/uploads/propaganda1-300x251.jpg" alt="Propaganda is a dirty word" width="300" height="251" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Propaganda is a dirty word until you know what they call it now.</p></div>
<p>As a propagandist, what would you do if your beloved science came under scrutiny?  You’d follow the rule book, of course.  Change the name and completely disavow and separate yourself from the bad stuff.  We don’t use the word “propaganda” anymore to describe mass influence.  We use “marketing.”  Have you ever been a marketing target?  Of course you have.  You are a consumer.  To marketers, you are a mouth which needs too much food, a butt which needs too many clothes and too comfortable a car, an empty head to fill with political nonsense, and a source of revenue for the countless companies with a product.</p>
<p>So, what are they really saying when they market?</p>
<p>Marketers appeal to emotion first.  The images are always happy or imperative.  Have you seen a commercial for any prescription drug and happened to listen to the side effects?  It’s a strange juxtaposition indeed to have a happy couple dancing down a beach in some tropical paradise while a subdued announcer’s voice tells you the myriad ways you’ll die if you take this medication.  Marketers know the happy couple is visual and the verbal portion will go unnoticed.</p>
<p>What they say when they say “BUY!” is simple.  They say that the <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/fear_uncertainty_and_doubt" title="Fear, uncertainty and doubt" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear%2C_uncertainty_and_doubt" target="_blank">fear, uncertainty and doubt</a> (FUD) of not having their product can be alleviated simply by owning it.  Once you do, you’ll be happy.  Microsoft is king when it comes to spreading FUD about free alternatives.  Linux is more stable and can do more than Windows without the constant threat of hackers, viruses, trojans and worms, yet how many of you use it?  Is it because someone told you that Linux is free, therefore inferior?  What about the rumor that it’s hard to learn?  You won’t be able to run your favorite software…  All hooey.  Since you never investigated for yourself, you bought the FUD.  Microsoft has gone so far as to contradict itself by saying both, “Linux is based on 1960’s technology and Windows is new.” and “Linux is too new and therefore untested.”</p>
<p>Government, food producers, car manufacturers, religions and even your close friends will sell the FUD on a daily basis just to keep you from straying from the consumerist path.  Are you listening?  This is the truth.  Every message you receive from any media outlet is a scientifically formulated assault against your inhibitions.</p>
<p>Ask yourself a few questions.  Do you act based on fear of consequences, or on hope of future outcomes?  Sadly, the future is not on most people’s minds.  How many of the thoughts you think, when they result in an emotional response, are actually your own?  If you sit and think about it, you’ll find that most of the impassioned speeches you give are based on FUD or some other clever marketing tactic, not your own reasoned thought.</p>
<p>Your homework is the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Watch the film “<a title="Supersize Me" href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1432315846377280008#docid=6652157005731554560" target="_blank">Supersize Me</a>” by Morgan Spurlock.  Tell us your impressions.</li>
<li>Watch the film “<a title="The Future of Food" href="http://www.hulu.com/watch/67878/the-future-of-food" target="_blank">The Future of Food</a>” and tell us your impressions.</li>
<li>Watch the film “<a title="The Corporation" href="http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/1371416" target="_blank">The Corporation</a>” and again, tell us your impression.</li>
</ul>
<p>What were they selling with each film?  Was it FUD or hope?  If these films, whose intent is to shake up the status quo, used any FUD, why?</p>
<p>Add your comments below.</p>

In fact, it is the only method whereby you can "be separate" from the Matrix, but still peacefully co-exist alongside the Matrix.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Starting with a quick update.   WORDPRESS came out with version 3.0.  When we upgraded the software; we ran into some integration problems that we didn’t previously have.   So…as always with “software upgrades”; newer is not always initially better.  MATRIX SOLUTIONS had some glitches and some folks could not log on.</p>
<p>However, it seems the “bugs” are now worked out; so it’s on to the next phase.</p>
<p>_____________________________________________________________________________________________________</p>
<p>TO THE MATTERS AT HAND</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">1) MATRIX SOLUTIONS is going to be changing its name to MATRIX SOLUTION; because there is only one Solution relating to the problem of having Standing and Capacity in law among the Family of Nations.  That Solution is THE RIGHT OF SELF-DETERMINATION.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This Right is at least 4000 years old; and although it has changed form and names from the Right of Exile to the new more modernized term: self determination”, it is still the exit out of the Matrix.  In fact, it is the only method whereby you can “be separate” from the Matrix, but still peacefully co-exist alongside the Matrix.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<div id="attachment_766" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 250px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-766" href="http://therightofselfdetermination.com/decorum-training-201-becoming-a-diplomat/the-frog-3"><img class="size-medium wp-image-766" title="the-frog" src="http://therightofselfdetermination.com/wp-content/uploads/the-frog2-240x300.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Becoming a Prince might be a miracle, but it ain’t magic.   It’s work.</p></div>
<p>2) Members are now asking, about the next steps to exercising the RIGHT OF SELF-DETERMINATION.   I have given this serious consideration and it is the reason that I began Decorum Training.   If you are going to “be a King/Queen”; then you must act like one.   Among the Family of Nations, “they” leave nothing to chance.  There are protocols that have been laid down for hundreds, and even thousands of years that set the parameters of how One will “treat” and Treaty with other Dignitaries, Ambassadors, Consulates, Kings, Queens, Ministers and others with Sovereign Immunity.   There are Duties associated with Assuming Your Separate and Equal Station.  It’s not about “being left alone”; it takes work, study, and discipline.   John Quincy Adams was the Ambassador to the Courts of Versailles at age 14.    Do have some perspective that needs to change about living among the Powers of the Earth?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">3) ADDED PERSPECTIVE:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">MATRIX SOLUTION(S) is an education website.  The education here and the education coming is going to be designed to instruct all members in International Law in order to understand how “the construct” of the Global geo-political Systems work.   That “construct” is built on agreements and contracts; ordinarily called Treaties or Accords.   In today’s world, many of these Treaties and Accords are now passed and ratified by many members of the Family of Nations all at once.  This occurs within Conventions that are held to discuss and debate issues of Diplomacy among Nations and all other Global Issues of concern (such as the environment, adoption of children, war, etc.).   Due to these Global Events, we find treaties and accords such as the Vienna Convention of Diplomatic Relations and the Vienna Convention of Consular Relations.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The point is that if you are not thinking GLOBALLY, you are never going to attain “freedom”.   There are literally tens and hundreds of thousands of such treaties, accords and conventions that have been held over the past 4000+ years that form the basis of the CONSTRUCT (i.e. contracts) of this Planet that we live on.  And, if you are paying attention and if you are a true seeker of truth and freedom; then it is of Utmost Importance to understand how “things function”.   Once Neo was “pulled out”; his next task was to go into “training” and go into a “hyper-fast knowledge download mode” on all the elements of the CONSTRUCT so that by the end of the first movie (MATRIX) he could “<strong><em>see</em></strong>” all elements of the CONSTRUCT.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I trust you are getting the point, but let me give an example about how the Global Construct works that people rarely pay attention to.   Let’s say that you want to mail a package to another country (member of the Family of Nations).   We just use the UK and Japan.   You carry this package to the Post Office in the UK, have it weighed for <strong><em>lading</em></strong>, and then pay the appropriate <em><strong>Stamp Tax</strong></em> in order to send your package to Japan.  What you just did (most without knowing) is activate at least 3 dozen treaties within the Global Construct.  Those treaties, once activated, will then used to facilitate the proper arrival and delivery of your package via mail service contracts that function within the Universal Postal Union.  These treaties coming from the International Law and Forums, are then rolled down through that codes, rules, and regulations within the 2 Nation-states that you involved in the handling of your package when you submitted the fee and received your “receipt/invoice”.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Without going into great detail with links to specific agreements; let’s just think about what sort of Treaties might be involved in mailing your package.   The first might be “fee agreement” for the price you pay for the handling, transportation, and delivery of the package.  Part of that fee goes to the UK and part to Japan.  This is business, and both states are involved, correct?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Then there must necessarily be Treaties for the successful transportation, which in this case are going to include things like International Fuel Tax Agreements for the Airlines involved; along with Radar Tracking between n<strong><em>ot just the 2 nation-states involved</em></strong>, but also along the entire transport route.   And then, since the payment, bill of lading, and invoicing involved financing your endeavor (to mail your package); there must be Banking Treaties involved, by NECESSITY.   After all, this is business.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Does this make sense? If not, then click to see one Treaty used: <a href="http://www.oas.org/DIL/CIDIPI_convention_billsnotesinvoices.htm">http://www.oas.org/DIL/CIDIPI_convention_billsnotesinvoices.htm</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Now, do you have the Treaty Right, or does it belong to the State?   Have you assumed your separate and equal station in order to start dealing directly in Treaties, Accords, Accessions, Adherences, and International Negotiations?   There are 2, and only 2, types of people on this planet.  We were put here to be productive.…to exercise stewardship.…i.e. to do “business”.   Some folks on this Planet are doing business with immunity.  Most are not.   Most Individuals have not “created the State”; most people “belong to a State”.  Which are you?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There is a bottom line to this, which is:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;">“If you want out of the box, system, or trap that you find yourself in”…then you must first “<em><strong>see</strong></em>” every aspect of that trap to reverse engineer your way out.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Since the movie: MATRIX came out in 1999; in many countries just the word “matrix” alone has become synonymous with a trap.   It is a technological system of slavery and control.   Neo had to seek “peace” with the system so that Zion could co-exist with the system.  And, this is what you must do; both individually and collectively with others of like-mind.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">4) You paid for your public education.   You paid to be pointing in the right direction, to be given assignments, and to be tested on the materials that you were pointed to check your skill and proficiency.   Now there’s MATRIX SOLUTION.   Did you think it would be different?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Most people are looking for a silver bullet.  Most people complain and whine that they “don’t want to be bothered” and they “just want to be left alone”.   Well, this is Planet Earth, and as you can see from reading #3 above about just one aspect of the Construct; that being Postal Treaties and the ability to move commerce and communications Globally; you should by now discern the following truth:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;">THIS IS PLANET EARTH.…AND NO ONE HAS EVER BEEN LEFT ALONE.</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Since this is a Universal Truth, and since you are here because you are looking for the ability to do business with Immunity (or so I assume), the following links are the beginning of what you will need to become proficient in…in order to live and deal peaceful within the Family of Nations, globally; so that you never violate the International Public Order.   The IPO (International Public Order) is about “going to peace” and to do that you must first understand the protocols for proper communications and negotiations with other dignitaries, Ambassadors, and diplomats.  In other words…DECORUM.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">The audio below was made while I was on the road.  It was recorded in a hand-held device; so there is some background noise.  It’s only 3 minutes and it’s the recording I made during the thought process of what and how MATRIX SOLUTION needs to “train” you; our valued member, in the arena of International Law and the Internationally-Accepted Protocols for “coming out of one system” to “form another”.   The predecessors of the past told everyone that “when the ends of one government become perverted, and the public liberty is manifestly in danger, and all other means of redress are ineffectual; then the people may and of right ought…to form a new government”.  (original Maryland Declaration).  Of course, THEY (i.e. the Masonic Predecessors) said it even more succinctly in the Declaration of the U.S.A. when they stated that to protect your Right to life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness…YOU MUST INSTITUTE NEW GUARDS.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If THEY are not “doing it for you”.…and you already know that THEY are not; then do it for yourself.   That is the Right of Self-Determination.</p>

Matt</p>
<p>___________________________________________________________________________________</p>
<p>Good morning Matt,</p>
<p>First of all…what research?   What is there to “steal”?   I don’t call  this website “my research”.   The MATRIX SOLUTIONS website is about acquiring the mindset and education required to self-govern.   The right of self-determination is in the  International Treaties and International Conventions.  I didn’t “research it” or “find it”.   Research involves exploration of things that are unknown, like sending out a probe to “explore” the universe and “find a conclusion” as to how things work and function.   “Researching laws and history” is not true “research”…it is merely detective work, but it should be geared toward finding a remedy for yourself and your Posterity to function at a higher Contract level among others; specifically the other “Powers of the Earth”.</p>
<p>All the codes, rules, and regs (and the history of such) that this alleged Informer  writes about…are someone else’s copyrighted property.  And,  they were already here when he got here.  Again, “here” we go with someone’s massive ego.   So he found something…like I found some things that were already existent and prevailing in Law and the Construct of how things operate on this planet.  I  didn’t find out anything that wasn’t already here and neither did he.</p>
<p>The question becomes two-fold.…what’s he doing with his research?   And,  how does this pertain to exercising the Right of Self determination?   This so-called Informer has no research about getting out of the system by  creating a new system for yourself and your Posterity via  Self-determination or Self-governance.  So, he’s a failure on both  counts.</p>
<p>Second, when this posting occurred, whereby this alleged Informer put this claim on his website.…the gentleman in question contacted  this so-called Informer five times.   I know because the gentleman in question copied me all emails between the two of them (i.e. the gentleman in question and this so-called Informer).  The “research” in question, which all came from  public records, was actually found by the gentleman in question that the so-called Informer accuses,  because that gentleman (in question) had been in governmental office.</p>
<p>Even Walter  Burien, who claims to have “found” the CAFRs got his “research” from the gentleman in question, here; but i can tell you, it was the gentleman in question (who had held an appointment governor’s  office of a particular State in the United States) that uncovered the information.  Why?  Because he was on the inside at that point in time.</p>
<p>Btw.…the gentleman in question was not my employer or  boss. He had  started a compact and an  IGO.…something that this gentleman obviously  did not get from this Paytriot calling himself “THE INFORMER”.</p>
<p>Many that I have met so far in the PAYTRIOT  movement have questionable integrity, in my opinion.…and they have people that  listen to them and follow them like sheep…which they fleece.   And,  the proof is that everyone is still in the same condition after following some of these PAYTRIOTS for over 25, and some times 30+ years.</p>
<p>And, it is not  much better among those that are trying to exercise Self-governance and Self-determination.  I  have had to start over four times now, due to people’s (mainly MEN)  flaming arrogance.</p>
<p>Now, after this contact of the five times via email; the alleged Informer had nothing to  say.   He rebutted nothing that was sent him (the alleged Informer) including letters that I saw from Robert  Kelly of the “Bulletin” telling this “Informer” that if he was  going to use the “other gent’s” material and sell it, that he should pay  him for it because the gent in question had a wife and six children to feed.  I saw that  letter and the Informer acquiesced.</p>
<p>But, there is no way to stop these people’s relentless “NEED” to promote themselves, versus actually promoting a solution and offering a paradigm whereby people of like-mind can come together in community and seek “the” Peaceful Settlement among the Family of Nations.  And since such people have  not opted to self-govern via the exercise of the Right of Self Determination and “assume Their Separate and Equal Station among the Power of the Earth” (as left open for them to do, and universally commanded for them to do) within a “STATE OF COMMUNITY”, then they get to be destroyed with the United  States when it becomes “THE FORMER UNITED STATES”.  (See: V FOR VENDETTA)</p>
<p>I hope that in the end…that I will be able to exercise more fully this  right…and build a compact-state of like-minded men and women (peaceful people with a Warrior’s heart) versus merely being an Ambassador for  someone else.  For now, I would prefer to deal with questions of a more Universal Nature, from people that want to accept the Responsibility to extricate themselves from “belief systems” (i.e. governments) that don’t serve their best and highest good.</p>
<p>If he isn’t building community, then my opinion is to ignore it.   He has  no solutions.  He challenged me as well and could not reply  to the information that I presented to him.</p>
<p>But, my  problem is this.….I DON’T CARE.…I am busy trying to get myself and  others of like-mind.…out from in front of a Runaway Train that is  literally moving at MACH 4.5 and about to wipe you and me out.  What say you to this.…now?   Ready to learn and build?  Or.…join the  Informer in his quest for.….?</p>
<p>What’s his quest again?</p>
<p>By the way…I know that we have email-ed back and forth before.  Did you have get the BANKER’S MANUAL downloaded?</p>
<p>All the best,</p>
<p>David</p>
<p>P.S.  You know.…in the end.…what difference did this make?</p>
<p>P.S.S.  Also, since I know that this Informer used to publish his “research” and obviously his “derogatory claims” on ATG Press or “Against the Grain” Press; I did a Google search and clicked on their link.  The result that popped up stated that their account is suspended.  So, at first glance, it looks like their site is down.  I will not “presume” the reason”;…but now, I am curious.…how did you find this alleged Informer’s claim in the first place?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This post is dedicated to Mr. Jonathan Halsey.   Although I don’t know Jonathan personally; his reply and apology in the comments section was inspiring and “big league”.</p>
<p>And, I am going to use it to springboard more directly into “decorum training”.   After this brief set-up, I am going to copy in Jonathan’s comment and my reply.   Afterward, look for the next blog post to come out later today.</p>
<p>In case you’re wondering what I am talking about with this term “decorum”; let me explain.   Many people give lip service to the word “Sovereign”, when in reality they nothing about it because they are not Sovereign.   Sovereigns build things, they did Nations-States-Societies.  That’s what a Sovereign does, and that is done with others of like-mind to accomplish an end goal in terms of stewardship and productivity on Earth.</p>
<p>Decorum and honor, humbleness and respect is how those in Political Power deal with one another.  Even among enemies, the Samurai smiled and bowed and introduce themselves by name.  A show of respect for the “universal power” within the other Individual before them.</p>
<p>There are times when any of us, due to human nature, can “dishonor” ourselves.  It is what we do after that makes the difference.  Do we recognize our own shortcoming or rashness and continue to act without learning from mistakes in judgment; or do we take action and put stricter guidelines on ourselves?</p>
<p>Below are the post.   In 201, decorum is going to be the only issue and it is going to come straight from the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations and other books and research on International Law regarding diplomacy and how one stay in honor and never violates the International Public Order.</p>
<p>Plus, I will start to develop and explain what exactly “is” this “international public order”?   If you want to exercise Self-determination and be a diplomat; and thereafter set your home up to be a consulate, then you must know the rules that apply.</p>
<p>Stay tuned…the teacher is here; the students are here…time to start building the initial part of “community”; which is “under-Standing” (before Standing).</p>
<p>David</p>

<p>You’re right, and I want to apol­o­gize to all for my arro­gant and  abra­sive post. I have to admit that I dis­play that from time to time  and it needs fixing.</p>

<p>Wow.…now that’s strong as thunder…to come into our pro­gram; and in  front of every­one deliver an apol­ogy.   I think you are well on your  way to that goal (of fixing things).  Stand by.…I am about to put every mem­ber to work.   Many peo­ple are want­ing to know what is it going to take to “become  a Self-determinant Individual”.</p>
<p>I did this for a reason.…decorum is para­mount among the Fam­ily of  Nations. When you get a chance Jonathan, to a google search and read the  Con­ven­tions and Treaties relat­ing to the Vienna Con­ven­tion on  Con­sular Func­tions.   This is among the first steps in under­stand­ing  how “self-determination, agree­ments, and pro­to­cols” function.</p>
<p>Thanks for your comment…that was very bold.…and hum­ble.  Chin up.</p>
<p>And chins up, everyone.  It is now time to starting walking the talk.   Diplomacy “to the max” is critical.…if you want the PEACEFUL SETTLEMENT of the disputes.   The dispute is “status”; but that can not be changed overnight.   It took the founders of some other jurisdiction 9 years before they were recognized and found their “peaceful settlement”.</p>
