A Follow-up to our Latest Article Regarding PKTF - Assembly Liaison Participation

A heartfelt thank you goes out to all State Assemblies actively participating in this most noble of peacekeeping advocacy roles:

On behalf of The Peacekeeping Task Force (PKTF), we extend our sincere gratitude to all 50 American State Assemblies and Foreign State Assemblies worldwide who have pursued the peacekeeping training that began in 2024. Since then, PKTF has received ongoing interest from well over half of all 50 American State Assemblies, with the majority of the remaining assemblies now reaching out to our offices with growing interest.

While the concept of having State Assembly members conduct the work to validate their own State Assembly Militia progress and service projects is valuable, this venture has faced challenges in expressing its overall purpose and intent. A small number of Assemblies still struggle to comprehend the priority need to integrate a peacekeeping advocate from the Federation - a dedicated American State National who would advocate for current and future peacekeeping operations on behalf of their State Assembly and provide an additional layer of validation for their sovereign right to self-govern lawfully and peacefully.

This effort aims to prevent misunderstandings regarding the purpose and intent of American self-governance, particularly in exercising Land and Soil jurisdictional responsibilities owed to themselves and their collective county assemblies.

Our Directorate Staff would like to thank each State Assembly that has contributed to this effort, as well as the Federation Fiduciary Office for bringing this fascinating initiative to reality. Currently, approximately 30 states are participating in this service, with several more among the remaining 20 State Assemblies showing interest in joining the upcoming 2025 Series Training Schedule, even those without a definitive State Assembly Militia sub-pillar.

If your state lacks a PKTF - Assembly Liaison or has not yet discussed this role in General Assembly, please contact your Marshal-at-Arms for more information about internal and external peacekeeping roles to bring back for future meeting discussions. For those seeking information independently, please review the relevant sub-articles and comment as needed.

Together, we can demonstrate to the world that The American States Assemblies are dedicated to the peaceful restoration of all pillars of our American government - one productive and peaceful pillar at a time.

The Indispensable Link: PKTF - Assembly Liaisons in American State Assemblies

 

Unlocking Full Standing and Seatment through Effective Peacekeeping Collaboration

The Role of the Peacekeeping Task Force (PKTF) and Assembly Liaisons in American State Assemblies

Introduction

The Peacekeeping Task Force (PKTF) plays a vital role in supporting and validating American State Assemblies, particularly in developing and recognizing their militia sub-pillar functions. A key component of this process is the PKTF - Assembly Liaison, a voluntary position that serves as a bridge between the Federation and individual State Assemblies.

The Importance of PKTF - Assembly Liaisons

PKTF - Assembly Liaisons are integral to the success and recognition of State Assemblies. These individuals serve multiple functions:

1. Facilitate communication between sovereign peacemakers and law enforcement counterparts
2. Bring Federation-level information and expectations back to their respective Assemblies
3. Assist in the development of peaceful and resilient State Assembly Militia structures
4. Provide answers about PKTF services and Validation Methods

While these roles are voluntary and not elected positions, they are crucial for State Assemblies working towards full Standing and eventual Seatment.

Becoming a PKTF - Assembly Liaison

To become a PKTF - Assembly Liaison, interested individuals must:

1. Be status-corrected American State Nationals
2. Hold no other elected position within their State Assembly
3. Complete the Enrollment Form
4. Undergo vetting by the Federation through PKTF
5. Participating in yearly training provided by PKTF

State Assemblies are encouraged to recognize and assimilate liaison roles for peacekeeping matters as soon as possible. This step is vital for Assemblies seeking progress, validation, and ultimately, Seatment.

The Validation Process

The PKTF Directorate Staff, comprising four Directors, is responsible for validating each of the 50 American State Assemblies as they enter full Standing status. This process includes:

1. Examining the structure of each State Assembly militia service
2. Ensuring that all service options and training materials are safe, benevolent, and defense-only
3. Verifying that the militia functions as a defensive force, capable of responding to multiple scenarios where natural and manmade disasters play a role in state border disruptions
4. Confirming that the State Defense Force is shielded from potential tyrannical oversight and prior service member obfuscation leading to potential unsafe acts against State of State and Federal subcontract services

Additional Services Offered by PKTF

Beyond its primary charter, PKTF is exploring the possibility of offering additional services, including:

1. Ombudsman services (Training)
2. Assistance for Prior Service Members in clearing undisclosed federal Military Service
3. Veteran Affairs Services comparable to VFW and The American Legion
4. Annual service to combat Stolen Valor acts

Ongoing Advocacy and Coordination

A key aspect of PKTF's charter is to provide perpetual advocacy between the Federation Fiduciary office and each State Assembly. This includes:

1. Evaluating, educating, and coordinating interactions between American State Assembly Militias and their law enforcement counterparts
2. Maintaining an open-door policy for current Territorial Government de facto Law Enforcement and American Peacekeepers across all jurisdictions or any current Municipal State of State subcontracting agencies still in existence or vestige of service during or after its corporate bankruptcy has ended.
3. Upholding Public Law while respecting known jurisdictions.

The Importance of State Assembly Participation

The success of PKTF's mission relies heavily on the active participation of each State Assembly Militia. To facilitate this, PKTF encourages State Assemblies to:

1. Appoint one to three PKTF - Assembly Liaisons from within their own Assembly
2. Engage in ongoing advocacy efforts
3. Participate in training and information-sharing to develop proper, peaceful State Assembly Militias

Addressing Confusion and Frustration

If there is ongoing confusion or mounting frustration about the PKTF - Assembly Liaison role within any State Assembly, it may be due to:

1. The absence of a PKTF - Assembly Liaison
2. Lack of recognition for existing Liaisons-in-Training by the General Assembly or other State Assembly in need of such liaison information sharing advocacies

It is important to note that not having a PKTF - Assembly Liaison from the same state is not a self-governing practice. Furthermore, failing to welcome The Peacekeeping Task Force's assistance in the Assembly Militia sub-pillar development could be, and will most likely be considered a reckless, irresponsible, and troubling peacekeeping oversight.

Implications for Full Standing and Seatment

Any State Assembly seeking recognition of Full Standing, which leads to Seatment, must utilize a trained and recognized PKTF - Assembly Liaison or Liaison Team. Without this:

1. The Assembly cannot receive a timely Safety Validation Process
2. The PKTF Staff Directorate is unable to conduct one-on-one requirements due to limited operational funding

Moving Forward

To establish clarity and ensure effective collaboration, it is crucial that each American and Foreign State Assembly, Land and Soil Jurisdiction seek a competent and available American State National to undertake the training. This will enable these liaisons to easily answer questions about the many positive services and Validation Methods that lay ahead.

By embracing the PKTF - Assembly Liaison role and working closely with The Peacekeeping Task Force, Assemblies can ensure proper development of their militia structures, facilitate effective communication, and progress towards Full Standing and Seatment in a timely and responsible manner. This collaborative approach will ultimately strengthen the principles of American self-governance and protect the rights of all sovereign people, as well as their Citizenry People in service to them.
