The Sovereign Identity: Unveiling the Corporate Origin of Surnames

Striding ever closer to the demise of the "Sovereign Citizen" corporate illusion

 Down through the centuries, sovereign men and women lived freely, addressed by their given names and family line, without the need of the artificial tool we now call the "surname." In earlier times, prior to the advent and proliferation of corporate feudalism, the practices of sovereign families were founded on a natural and lawful system of identification: a man's given name, followed by "son of" his father's given name, and carried further to his grandfather's given name. For example, the actual given name of the researcher and writer of this article is Joseph, son of James, son of Curtis.

This simple but effective custom was sufficient in ancient times to distinguish men and their offspring from one another within families or between other families within neighboring communities. But with the advent of corporate and centralized government institutions, surname arrived—a manufactured concept for foreign interests and not of independent individuals.

The Origins of Surnames: A Corporate Creation

Surnames did not evolve from any organic or customary way of addressing family members. Instead, they were forced upon living men and women by external agencies—governments, feudal regimes, and other corporate bureaucracies—for purposes of administration and politics. The surname was not chosen by parents as part of their natural family traditions but forced as a way of creating an accepted standard identity for the purposes of cooperative purposes, legal control, and organizational convenience in society.

This corporate "family name" was employed as a tool to track individuals in growing populations. It allowed for the compilation of lists by rulers and institutions for taxation, land-holding, census, and legal purposes. While surnames may appear innocuous on the surface, their true origin was in the interest of government and control of individuals or families and not in respect for the sovereignty of individuals or families.

The Unlawful Practice of Imposing Surnames

The use of surnames on independent persons is an unlawful practice if one looks at natural rights. Independent families previously identified themselves according to their lineage—a given name, then the father's name and the grandfather's name as a direct part of the essence that embodies their true identity. This pattern recognized the natural independence and autonomy of people in their family structure. It required no external interference or man-made labels.

Conversely, surnames are a foreign corporate identity that entrap living men and women in obligations that further political or economic agendas. These obligations are often tied to land owner excise systems, by-law constraints, and other means of monarchal control that are not conducive to the principles of sovereignty. The appeal to adopt surnames for oneself or one's posterity can be seen as an exploitation—an entrapment into systems that further corporate agendas at the loss of individual freedom.

Awareness: Deconstructing Corporate Entanglements

It is a significant step in deconstructing the shroud of corporate constructs that have been thrown over breathing men and women to become aware of the history and purpose behind surnames. Knowing that surnames are an artificial addition to familial nature but rather employed as an agency of control, individuals can reclaim their sovereignty. By discounting the fictional corporate identity attributed to surnames, individuals can begin to untangle themselves from obligations that do not contribute to their natural liberties or rights.

This acknowledgment also leads to further debates about sovereignty in modern society. It forces individuals to question other corporate affiliations—such as legal systems, tax systems, and contractual arrangements—that might supplant their inalienable freedom regarding self-governance. It ultimately leads to the restoration of traditions grounded in natural law and the removal of systems that seek to exploit living persons.

Sovereign Citizen Pejorative: Narrowing In On Its Inevitable Dismantling

The term "sovereign citizen" has been widely used as a pejorative label by media outlets, government entities, and critics who wish to discredit those seeking lawful recognition as sovereign individuals. This label often conflates legitimate efforts for sovereignty with fringe ideologies or pseudolegal tactics. However, it is essential to distinguish between peaceful movements advocating for lawful status correction—such as those led by American State Assemblies—and isolated incidents involving misuse or misinterpretation of sovereign principles.

The inevitable dismantling of this pejorative lies in education and awareness. As more people understand that sovereignty is rooted in lawful traditions rather than contrived theories or pseudolegal practices, they will reject misleading narratives designed to undermine legitimate efforts toward reclaiming personal autonomy. Sovereignty is not about rejecting law but about restoring alignment with natural law principles free from corporate entanglements.

A Path Toward Harmony

The surname is not a natural appellation for free men and women; it is a corporate institution that was created for political purposes.

By understanding its etymology and renouncing its illegitimate application, individuals can meaningfully act toward reclaiming their organic identity and unraveling corporate entanglements. A return to traditions commemorating family lineage—whereby the name of a man is augmented by "son of" that of his father—replaces acknowledgment of sovereignty without removing that which is extraneous that was inserted there to gain benefit at alien expense.

Awareness is the answer to this task.

As increasingly large numbers of people realize that surnames and other corporate identity labels are artificial, they can altogether remove these cover-ups once and for all. Independent men and women have ever possessed the capacity to define themselves naturally; it is time to reassert that capacity in its fullness and move toward a peaceful future grounded in harmony with natural law.

Moving Forward with Sovereign Recognition

As part of this movement toward reclaiming sovereignty, initiatives like those led by the American State Assemblies are paving the way for lawful recognition of status-corrected sovereign men and women. These assemblies emphasize identifying individuals according to their true family origins without reliance on corporate feudalism practices such as surnames tethered throughout daily life.

This effort has gained traction through training programs offered by the Peacekeeping Task Force as part of its 2025 Public Service Outreach and Education initiatives. Municipal and Federal Law Enforcement entities are being prepared to train in these standardized approaches for recognizing lawful sovereign identities. As these training aids develop further, follow-up programs will be implemented across all County and State-of-State Law Enforcement agencies nationwide.

The Peacekeeping Task Force has been actively working on these, and other similarly constructed international outreach projects since resuming service operations in 2023. By fostering awareness through education and training, this initiative seeks not only to dismantle harmful corporate entanglements but also to establish a foundation for peaceful coexistence rooted in sovereignty and natural law principles from coast to coast.

Pathways to Self-governance Excellence

Federation Fiduciary Office Requested Notice of Completion for Pilot Project of International Ombudsman Think Tank

 The Federation Fiduciary Office has issued a request of notice to acknowledge the successful completion of the six-month pilot project conducted by the International Ombudsman Think Tank. Held biweekly from September 2024 to March 2025, this education-only initiative provided participants with opportunities for open dialogue and foundational discussions on professional Ombudsman Services.

Overview of the Pilot Project

The pilot project brought together volunteers from State Assemblies across multiple continents. Participants engaged in:

Baseline Discussions: Introducing fundamental concepts of Ombudsman Services.

Scenario-Based Content: Exploring both real and imagined situations to better understand professional conflict resolution methods.

Intermediate Talking Points: Laying the groundwork for future professional training that will ultimately be conducted by Assembly members themselves, rather than relying on resources from the Federation or its Peacekeeping Task Force.

The goal of these sessions was to familiarize participants with formal conflict resolution methods while fostering a deeper understanding of how Ombudsman Services can support self-governance and shield State Assemblies as independent organizations.

Key Highlights

Scenario-Based Discussions: Participants delved into practical examples, including actual-life scenarios and thought experiments, to better grasp professional approaches to conflict resolution.

Intermediate-Level Topics: Beyond basic concepts, discussions touched on ideas that will naturally evolve into advanced training opportunities initiated by Assembly members themselves.

Interest in Certification: Many participants expressed enthusiasm for pursuing advanced training and certification independently, as such resources are not currently provided by the Federation or its Peacekeeping Task Force.

Importance of Professional Ombudsman Services

A professional Ombudsman Service is vital for any organization seeking to resolve internal disputes impartially and effectively. These services:

Promote transparency, accountability, and fairness.

Strengthen governance mechanisms by addressing conflicts professionally.

Help organizations maintain harmony while fostering trust among stakeholders.

Discussions during the pilot project highlighted how adopting professional Ombudsman practices can help State Assemblies address internal challenges in a way that aligns with their self-governance principles.

Next Steps and Resources

The next phase of this initiative will transition from introductory education to practical applications of Ombudsman Services. For those interested in learning more or pursuing training certifications, replays of past meetings are available on the Dedicated Rumble Channel. This platform also serves as an archive for future training series, offering valuable resources for individuals aiming to become certified Ombudsmen within their Assemblies.

Federation’s Role in Supporting State Assemblies

The Federation Fiduciary Office emphasizes the importance of allowing all State Assemblies to address their challenges in a professional and concise manner while maintaining autonomy. While the Federation does not provide internal conflict resolution training or services except in rare circumstances, it remains committed to supporting the safe development of all State Assemblies.

The Federation’s fiduciary role includes offering validation and seatment to Assemblies once they declare readiness to advance their sovereign self-governance structures. This approach ensures that Assemblies can evolve independently while fostering professionalism and accountability within their governance models.

This notice reflects the Federation Fiduciary Office’s awareness of the success of this pilot project and encourages continued engagement in future opportunities that promote professionalism and effective governance practices within State Assemblies.

Freedom or Facade? Rethinking Emancipation and Its Legacy in America

 A Discussion on Manufactured Consent and Historical Narratives

 The Emancipation Proclamation is often trumpeted as a turning point in the struggle for liberty in America. However, when critically analyzed, it raises profound questions about whether it was truly a step toward freedom or a strategic move to maintain control under the guise of liberation. The Peacekeeping Task Force challenges readers to delve into this complex history, questioning accepted narratives and encouraging more nuanced discussions about the nature of freedom.

The Emancipation Proclamation: A Strategic, Not Moral, Decision

Issued by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863, the Emancipation Proclamation declared enslaved individuals in Confederate territories free but left slavery untouched in Union-controlled regions. This selective application reveals its purpose as a wartime strategy rather than an uncompromising assertion of human rights. By undermining the Confederacy’s labor system and recruiting freed individuals into the Union military, the proclamation bolstered the Union cause without addressing broader societal integration or welfare for the newly freed.

This approach reflects a historical pattern: systems of control adapting to maintain dominance while shifting responsibility. The narrow scope of the proclamation ensured that while enslaved people were technically "freed," they were left without meaningful support, making them vulnerable to systemic exploitation.

Emancipation Before the Civil War: A Rare Practice

Prior to the Civil War, emancipation in America was largely confined to legal cases involving guardianship termination for adults deemed capable of managing their own affairs. These cases were rare and individualized, in stark contrast to the broad yet constrained nature of wartime emancipation. This context highlights that early America had little precedent for large-scale liberation efforts, complicating the narrative of emancipation as an act of pure benevolence.

Fighting Manufactured Consent Through Dialogue

The Peacekeeping Task Force recognizes significant gaps in how history is taught and discussed. Too often, historical narratives are shaped by persuasive tactics that promote partial truths while obscuring systemic inequities. This reflects what scholars like Noam Chomsky have identified as "manufactured consent," where public opinion is carefully engineered to align with specific agendas.

Through its recent restructuring, the Task Force has embarked on an open-ended mission to engage directly with these issues. By reexamining historical events like emancipation, we aim to challenge simplistic narratives and foster critical discussions about freedom and control.

Expanding Topics for Exploration

This article is part of a broader initiative addressing topics that challenge prevailing narratives, including, but not limited to:

> The origins and corruption of early American monetary systems.

> Architectural discoveries and technologies that defy conventional historical timelines.

> The development and misunderstood origins of movements like "sovereign citizenship."

Redesigning Sovereignty and Freedom - and Where Might the Bogus Concept of "Emancipation" Tie in to This Similar Topic

A key focus will be dismantling the purposefully dismissive and obviously thin veiled pejorative label "sovereign citizen." Too often dismissed as conspiratorial or extremist, until now, this term obscures legitimate concerns about government overreach and individual autonomy. The Task Force will provide balanced discussions on these issues, promoting a clear distinction between lawful dissent and mischaracterizations designed to stifle dialogue.

Discussions and the research that supports healthy debate concerning them have already begun. This paper tiger topic actually began during mid 2024. Much more discussion on these and other relative topics listed above will resume where they left off soon and others will pick up fresh as new talking points this year onward.

Creating Platforms for Expanding Discussion

To amplify these conversations, the Peacekeeping Task Force will utilize platforms such as Substack and Patreon to publish exclusive content. These platforms allow researchers to present nuanced perspectives on underexplored topics while engaging directly with readers seeking deeper understanding. By fostering open dialogue on issues like historical revisionism, entrenched corruption, and alternative interpretations of freedom, we aim to generate critical thinking and public interest.

Join Us in Redefining the Narrative

This effort marks the beginning of a larger undertaking to reassess history—not as a static record but as a dynamic conversation shaped by observation and inquiry. Collectively, we can challenge deceptive narratives and analyze what true freedom means—not as manufactured consent but as informed autonomy rooted in truth.

The Federation has also explored similar sensitive topics designed to respect people’s perceptions of their time while acknowledging how truth has been suppressed through deliberate obfuscation after the fact—blurring lines between reality and deception. Articles like this are meant not only to break the monotony of organizational business but also to spark compelling discussions that directly or indirectly support freedom's cause.

Stay tuned for future articles tackling these pressing concerns. Subscribe on platforms like Substack and Patreon for free to join this vital discussion about history, truth, and freedom’s ongoing fight for authenticity.

We look forward to your commentary contributions to these and other compelling discussions and revelations in the coming months.

Law Enforcement Officers (LEOs) and Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) - The Difference

 PKTF - Assembly Liaisons: Consolidating LEAs and State Assemblies

The Peacekeeping Task Force (PKTF) Assembly Liaisons play an instrumental role in advancing cooperation and comprehension between Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) and the American State Assemblies. They operate towards building dignified relationships, establishing emergency communication networks, and ensuring respect for the unique roles of land and soil jurisdiction under legitimate self-governance practices. Below is a detailed overview of their mandate:

Core Responsibilities of PKTF Assembly Liaisons

Networking and Communication:
Facilitate communication between State Assemblies, LEAs, and neighboring assemblies to build bridges of coexistence and cooperation.

Information Sharing:
Notify LEAs of State Assembly militia peacekeeping functions operating under land and soil jurisdiction in alignment with constitutional principles.

Emergency Communication Networks:
Initiate coast-to-coast communication systems to foster collaborative efforts during emergencies and enable harmonious coordination across jurisdictions.

Jurisdictional Education:
Encourage education about American State Assembly governance under land and soil jurisdiction while respecting the statutory authority of LEAs.

Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs)

LEAs include a broad range of organizations such as:

> Police Departments

> Sheriff’s Offices

> State Police/Highway Patrol

> Tribal Police Departments

> Special Emergency Tactics Dispatch Units (local assets)

Special Jurisdiction Agencies (e.g., park rangers, transit police)

These agencies operate under statutory law to enforce public safety measures within their jurisdictions.

State Assembly Militia Functions

State Assembly militias are community-based defense organizations sanctioned under constitutional provisions. Their primary roles include:

Aiding civil authorities during emergencies.

Defending land and soil jurisdictions.

Operating as unorganized militias when needed.

Law Enforcement Administration's Role

Law Enforcement Administration ensures effective functioning of LEAs by focusing on:

Policy Development: Establishing operational strategies for statutory adaptation.

Personnel Management: Recruiting and training officers to uphold professionalism.

Oversight Committees: Ensuring accountability through governance at the state level.

This administration distinguishes LEAs from State Assembly militias by emphasizing statutory law enforcement rather than constitutional self-policing.

Building Respectful Bridges

PKTF Assembly Liaisons actively work to:

Clarify jurisdictional differences between land/soil governance and statutory law enforcement.

Foster cooperation during emergencies or public safety challenges.

Respect all known jurisdictions, including counties with superior concurrent general jurisdiction, while maintaining peaceful collaboration through lawful practices.

Coordination in the Nexus Region

The United States is divided into 10 Nexus Regions based on Postal Service Areas. PKTF liaisons are trained to collaborate within these regions to ensure clear communication and coordination among assemblies at county, state, and regional levels. This regional approach strengthens inter-state cooperation while respecting each assembly's autonomy.

Fidelity to Peaceful Self-Governance

By these means, PKTF strives to:

Build strong reputations for honoring all jurisdictions, including land and soil governance.

Exercise fiduciary responsibility for peaceful cooperation through lawful self-governance at county and state levels.

Foster collaboration with neighboring assemblies within their Nexus Region to ensure harmony across borders.

Commitment to Emergency Communication Efforts

PKTF liaisons also focus on developing robust coast-to-coast emergency communication networks to enhance disaster response capabilities and ensure seamless coordination between assemblies and LEAs during crises.

Through comprehensive training in these essentials, PKTF Assembly Liaisons empower State Assemblies to peacefully collaborate with LEAs while upholding constitutional principles of land and soil jurisdiction governance. This mutual respect for lawful self-governance and inter-agency cooperation strengthens public safety systems across the country while promoting harmony among all jurisdictions involved.

Examples of When Alleged Peacekeepers Miss The Mark

 Strengthening State Assemblies Marshal-at-Arms to Sergeant-at-Arms: A Call for Responsibility and Communication

The Peacekeeping Task Force (PKTF) plays a significant role in helping State Assemblies, Assembly Militia Pillar achieve validation for announcing it's standing and recognition within the Federation to the world as part of its own Fiduciary responsibility.

Despite PKTF's fairly significant, readily accessible information resources, ongoing and interactive training, and dedication to advocacy, two specific State Assemblies—one on the East Coast and the other spanning both sides of the Mississippi River—are still hampered by their own cultivated choice of sharing with themselves numerous bouts of misinformation.

It has been reported by their own sources that the issue lies with some among their Marshals-at-Arms offices who have been derelict in fulfilling their duty to conduct due diligence, spreading disinformation as if it were fact. Such behavior can lead to erroding the trust needed to maintain healthy decorum in their Assemblies and stands in the way of overall progress toward self-governance.

The Federation Fiduciary Office is well aware of these same self-inflicted, Assembly burdens. Such careless setbacks have now begun turning these same Assemblies into a bit of a punchline to jokes among other observers from other State Assemblies that face no such issues whatsoever. This embarrassment can be avoided with proper service training and accountability to ensure accurate information is shared. It is time to tackle these issues head-on, clarify PKTF’s purpose, yet again for these two up and coming Assemblies, and call for all responsible leadership among genuine peacekeepers that values communication and cooperation based on fact.

What PKTF Really Provides

PKTF offers three key services that enable State Assemblies to achieve Standing and resiliency toward Assembly Seatment:

1) Advocating for Safe State Border Defense

PKTF supports Assemblies in adopting firm defense positions, such as looking to successful examples similar to Switzerland's Canton system and other defense-only strategies that help support commitment to statewide safeguarding. This strategy emphasizes self-governance and resiliency at the community level, creating a platform for local autonomy while maintaining coordination with larger state and federal efforts.

2) Facilitating Interagency Collaboration

PKTF bridges communication gaps between State Assemblies, State of State law enforcement, and other entities. This includes advocating for natural resource management (e.g., water, food, seeds, machinery), emergency medical supply chains, safe route security, and cross-state logistical coordination during disasters. Examples include:

Radio Communications: Constructing secure networks via airways, rail systems, waterways, and interstate roadways.

Emergency Travel Coordination: Offering safe transportation for medical teams and supplies during emergencies.

3) Coordinating Emergency Operations Across States

PKTF acts as a communication hub during natural or manmade disasters. It facilitates coordination of neighboring states' resources to enable quick response and relief interventions. For instance:

Establishing heavy equipment repair teams for relief project recovery.

Supplying power generators or other vital resources to affected areas.

These services are not imposed by an external force but are implemented by members of each Assembly itself, showcasing the highest form of self-governance.

The Role of Internal Peacekeepers

Marshals-at-Arms are key components within their State General Assemblies as internal peacekeepers tasked with fostering trust, ensuring truthful information flow, and guiding their Assembly toward success. Unfortunately, misinformation—such as the false claim that PKTF is solely an "inspection" organization—has shown to be a careless, thoughtless, and gross neglect to service information causing unnecessary lack of trust creating senseless confusion that inhibits progress.

It is important to emphasize that PKTF does not exercise external control or supervision over State Assemblies. Instead:

The services provided by PKTF are intended to be performed by Assembly members themselves.

This represents the height of self-government: It is the people and tbose of the People who serve them within their Assembly—trained with the best resources available from the Federation—providing these services directly to their own communities.

Without an engaged set of members working together to bring PKTF’s services to their Assembly in an honest manner, these Assemblies will persist in flailing and delaying their own progress toward validation.

A Call for Action

The time is now for these confused Marshals-at-Arms to step up as responsible internal peacekeepers. Here’s what is encouraged as a - need to happen:

Obtain Proper Information from Reliable Sources: Marshals-at-Arms must directly communicate with PKTF staff or other Assemblies with operational PKTF-Assembly Liaisons rather than relying on unverifiable sources or ill-informed colleagues who do not have such same Liaisons.

Assign a PKTF-Assembly Liaison: Having a Liaison attend General Assembly meetings ensures proper information dissemination by providing direct answers to questions from a trusted source rather than perpetuating misinformation from outside influences.

Retire Practices that Foment False Information: Disseminating inaccuracies undermines faith in the Assembly and misguides members down false paths that stifle progress toward Standing and Seatment.

This Path Forward

PKTF embraces all proposals offered by the Federation to bolster community resiliency and state defense posture. By adopting these resources—modeled after successful systems like Switzerland's Canton governance, for example—State Assemblies can begin to foster self-reliance while enjoying strong inter-state cooperation.

It is not some - "external" "invading", as these two State Marshals-at-Arms have been persuaded somehow to think - outside force that will bring success—it is the honest, peaceful, and direct work of each Assembly's very own members working together toward Standing and Seatment.

Success is within reach; it is up to these Marshals-at-Arms to rise to the task, prioritize correct communication, and do what is right for their State Assembly before further embarrassment ensues due to avoidable setbacks.

And, as a last word of encouragement for those fast and loose internal peacekeepers who have done their part to perpetuate service inaccuracy about PKTF to your General Assembly - if Standing Validation and Seatment are what lies ahead of you as an Assembly, now or in the future, you might want to strongly consider advocating for those willing to help you with that from among your State Assembly members because - - and this cannot be stressed enough - - it will not be someone from outside your Assembly that will make that happen. It will be those from among you with the proper training and willingness to work together to make success a reality.

Always sincerely optimistic,
Joseph Hayse
Executive Director,
The Peacekeeping Task Force

Strengthening Oversight Responsibility: Independent Experts' Participation in State Assembly Militia Operations

How all State Assemblies Might Decide to Bolster It's Own Accountability Measure 

As it is, and as it ever will be, the Federation's involvement in any State Assembly after the Assemblies' verification for service hardness and affirmation of formal public duties is well separated from daily Assembly operations and activities.

The Fiduciary role of the Federation is, was, and shall remain independent of State Assembly business and decision-making. Once a State Assembly achieves Standing, is confirmed, and Seatment is declared and implemented, the role of the Federation—particularly where The Peacekeeping Task Force (PKTF) is concerned—is limited to networking and interfacing with communications systems and service providers that may aid State Border Defense mission operations during emergencies. The Federation also advocates for these services on behalf of each respective State.

This division enables State Assemblies to maintain full sovereignty over their domestic affairs while enjoying the advantages of the Federation's support regarding emergency communications infrastructure and coordination during crises. For example, in case of a natural or manmade disaster, emergency services enabled by State Border Defense operations can include:

Coordinated Evacuation Efforts:
Employing advanced communications networks to lead civilians away from danger in case of widespread flooding or chemical leaks.

Resource Allocation:
Supplying rapid deployment of food, water, medical supplies, and personnel to the crisis zone in case of hurricanes or factory accidents.

These examples present the Federation as a facilitator, rather than a decision-making entity in State Assemblies. However, the question remains about how State Assemblies can further enhance internal accountability mechanisms for addressing potential issues within their own ranks—namely their Assembly Militias.

The Case for Strengthened Oversight Accountability
State Assemblies are tasked with making sure that their militias are operating effectively and safely in the event of an emergency. This includes making sure that proper planning, training, and safety measures have been conducted prior to deployment. In order to be able to achieve this level of accountability, it stands to reason that Assemblies should have a neutral expert—one who is closely familiar with the preparatory processes of their own militia—be a member of their Oversight Committees.

This individual would act as a link between the Oversight Committee and the Assembly Militia leadership, providing vital feedback on whether operations were within established guidelines. Their services would be particularly valuable in investigating allegations of misconduct or negligence on the part of militia commanders. For example:

If an accident occurs during deployment—for instance, unsafe evacuation procedures cause civilian harm—this expert could help determine whether proper protocols were followed during planning phases.

In cases where operational readiness is in doubt—such as poor training leading to ineffective disaster response—the expert could verify whether safety protocols were adequately practiced before deployment.

This same topic was broached at the top of initial training offered to our PKTF - Assembly Liaisons during April 2024 when inquiries from Liaisons at that time began. Due to the nature of how PKTF assists Assemblies with acheiving safe operational and productive State Border Defense concepts and ideas, the service lends itself to the possibility of cultivating someone who would operate in this capacity as a viable candidate to be selected by their State General Assembly during future planning beyond Seatment.

As it currently stands, no authorization or solid expectation that a PKTF - Assembly Liaison would fill this role if and when such a need may arise. However, PKTF stands ready to consider and implement proper planning and training for this role if the opportunity presents itself due to it's potential consideration by any and all State General Assemblies upon request.

Historical Precedents for Oversight Models
The inclusion of subject matter experts in oversight functions is not unprecedented:

State Defense Force Accountability Systems:
State Defense Force structures worldwide hold commanders accountable for adherence to training standards and operational readiness. The example shows how accountability can be merged with responsibility at command levels.

State-level Oversight Policies:
Oversight committees in a number of states employ experts to provide clarity to investigations into governmental operations. The policies emphasize the importance of specialized knowledge in determining compliance and performance.

Practical Application-

For a State Assembly to enact such a model, it would need to determine how to insert this expert role into its Oversight Committee structure. This individual would need to meet the following criteria:

Neutrality:
They would need to be independent of current militia leadership yet familiar with its preparation procedures.

Expertise:
Their background would need to include training by an external source such as the Federation so that they would be familiar with operational safety protocols and accountability measures.

Prioritize State Interests:
Their work will be solely in the interest of their respective State Assembly, with no allegiance to any other party outside of their initial training period.

This is in alignment with the principle that each State Assembly must be autonomous while creating accountability within its own structure.

Moving Forward
By including an individual with firsthand knowledge of their own State Assembly Militia's preparatory phases within Oversight Committees, Assemblies can further their own capacity for transparency and accountability. This role would act as a failsafe against operational failures while cultivating public trust in militia activities. As governance evolves, such innovative oversight systems may be required to address complex issues at the intersection of state security and public accountability.

In this way, every State Assembly can be guaranteed secure and effective militia activity while being independent of external control such as the Federation—a structure that accommodates autonomy and cooperation in the interest of public welfare during crises.

From the Peacekeeping Task Force to All American State Assemblies

"Guide us to where your inner peacekeepers are located in your State Assembly Militia sub-pillar, and we will meet you there."

 A sincere thank you to the 20-31 State Assemblies that have taken serious steps in peacekeeping activism. Your commitment to training, coordination, and progression demonstrates the strength of our shared mission. Yet, the past year has not been all smooth sailing, particularly in the area of communicating with Assemblies that are at varying stages of development. Miscommunication internally and silence have generally been the causes of unnecessary hurdles.

"Communication is King"—without it, there will be delays. PKTF is determined to walk beside each Assembly where they are in the process of assembling and bringing them along.

The Role of the PKTF - Assembly Liaison

The PKTF - Assembly Liaison provides critical services to all American State Assemblies, including:

State Assembly Standing Validation: Ensuring all offices are properly elected, published, and ratified by the Federation.

Peacekeeping and Law Enforcement Interface Advocacy: Helping Assemblies develop rapport with local and national law enforcement agencies.

International Outreach: Expanding the reach and authority of State Assemblies globally.

Emergency Services Maintenance: Providing equipment and training for effective emergency communication and management.

These services are offered at no charge for training in service management within the Peacekeeping Task Force. With participation levels currently ranging between 21-29 members per State Assembly from among the mean of just over 30—and growing monthly—PKTF remains committed to fostering collaboration and success.

The 6 Development Categories of State Assemblies so far

Each Assembly currently falls into one of six categories based on its development stage and growth trend. PKTF strives to meet each Assembly where they are, offering tailored support for their peacekeeping goals.

If you are now, or considering soon correcting your own political birthright status, and are aware of the current condition of your State Assembly, see where yours sits within this list of categories

1. Fully Functional with Major Interim Posts

These Assemblies have:

State Coordinators who have been selected.

An interim Marshal-at-Arms who actively engages with PKTF on State Border Defense systems.

An Ombudsman Service that is seeking training.

A functional or developing Oversight Committee.

PKTF's Role: These Assemblies are well-placed for Standing validation. PKTF provides guidance on conducting valid elections, posting results, and gaining full validation by the Federation. "Just point us to where your internal peacekeepers are, and we will meet you there."

2. Close to Completion but Missing Elections or Specific Roles

These Assemblies are close to completing requirements but are missing:

An interim Assembly Militia Commander or official elections for key roles.

PKTF's Role: PKTF assists these Assemblies with durable concepts and Federation wide updates on all other Assemblies in developing their Assembly Militia sub-pillar which best  prepares them for Standing validation with actionable plans.

3. Missing Ombudsman Service

These Assemblies have all other interim roles filled but lack an Ombudsman Service—a critical component for internal peacekeeping amid conflicts.

PKTF's Role: PKTF focuses on advocating for proper training, as well as surface level education preceding adaquete, certificable training establishing an Ombudsman Service while, themselves assisting greatly in the development of their own Assembly Militia sub-pillar.

4. Lacking Key Roles and Training

These Assemblies have significant gaps, including:

No acting Marshal-at-Arms working with PKTF on fundamental issues such as State Border Defense mechanisms or Assembly Militia build-up.

No Ombudsman Service or Assembly Militia Commander because of a lack of training efforts.

PKTF's Role: PKTF offers initial guidance to establish a legal foundation while prioritizing education and training.

5. Little Coordination but Lacking Core Offices

These Assemblies have a measure of coordination but no:

Interim Marshal-at-Arms or Ombudsman Service actively engaging in peacekeeping or border defense concepts with PKTF.

Assembly Militia sub-pillar.

PKTF's Role: In these cases, PKTF must engage directly with the General Assembly Coordinator as a temporary extension of the Federation when there are no other internal peacekeeping components.

6. Inactive or Unestablished

These Assemblies possess no quantifiable activity:

No identifiable State Marshal-at-Arms engaging in concepts of border defense or militia formation.

No Ombudsman Service, Assembly Militia sub-pillar, or available State Coordinators.

No internet presence or other evidence of organization.

PKTF's Role: As a last resort, PKTF contacts any available coordinator to encourage first steps toward lawful organization.

The Challenge of Engagement

In some rare cases periodically during 2024 situations, interim Marshals-at-Arms have, for some strange reason, and with no viable reason to do so, had chosen NOT to engage with PKTF on valuable discussions related to State Border Defense mechanisms or how their citizens could achieve this vital peacekeeping task through the Assembly Militia sub-pillar. As bizarre as that might sound when spoken by many of our readers, this was a true occurrence during 2024. Needless to say, this gross lack of engagement - decided by the one of two internal Assembly peacekeepers chose not to promote peaceful interaction which has significantly slowed growth in those certain States where these conversations are essential to advancing safety advocacy and organizational development.

The Importance of Communication

The pinnacle of PKTF’s services is built upon ensuring safety, maintaining open dialogue about safety protocols, and being well-organized in the event of an emergency. Without effective communication skills, all Assemblies risk unnecessary delays in their development process.

To all Assemblies: take this opportunity to further your cause for state sovereignty and peacekeeping. Together, we can ensure all Assemblies possess the tools they need to succeed!

Looking back at the garnered experience since March 2024, we are grateful for the opportunity to thank all those who enrolled early and volunteered their precious time and input to help fuel the program's extraordinary growth. Your collective commitment was the absolute foundation upon which this became a successful endeavor. Throughout the last year, participation from a minimum of at least 10 states from a mean of 29 during training was largely responsible for guiding this handbook opportunity and its inevitable success. Without your dedication, this milestone would have been much harder to attain.

To our PKTF - Assembly Liaisons-in-Training newly joining now, and those rejoining for 2025 training, welcome, and welcome back as we celebrate a happy anniversary!

Your passion, determination, and ongoing interests have propelled unprecedented progress, allowing this budding organization to exceed expectations and provide innovative services that continue to grow organically.

The Handbook: A Tool for Excellence
The 2025 Handbook is an essential guide for Liaisons, detailing:

Committee Involvement: Instructions on how to work with State Assemblies.

Public Relations Skills: Effective advocacy and communication techniques.

Strategic Interaction: Most effective correspondence and collaboration practices.

Militia Service Coordination: Procedures for assisting State Border Defense operations.

It also incorporates new training modules on role-playing exercises, interview methods, database security procedures, and others. These additions prove our dedication to providing Liaisons with cutting-edge skills to keep up with changing needs.

As well as -

Frontlining the Mandate or Authority Designation of Services Definition as a Training Focus

Definition in Context: The mandate or designation is the formal responsibility granted to PKTF by the Federation, rooted in its charter, to provide support and services to State Assemblies. This foundation emphasizes collaboration and lawful service rather than authority.

Core Responsibilities: Liaisons act as bridges between State Assemblies and the Peacekeeping Task Force, ensuring effective communication, coordination, and support for Assembly Militia functions.

Practical Application: The mandate serves as the guiding principle for all Liaison activities, ensuring they align with the Federation’s objectives while fostering trust and cooperation in every interaction.

This focus underscores that the PKTF's role is based on a clear, structured framework of responsibility rather than unilateral authority over any County or State.

Building on Success
This handbook builds upon the 2024 service abstract—a visionary model that transformed an idea into a tangible framework. By refining this vision through logical successes, we’ve created a product that not only meets but exceeds expectations. Such iterative development has been key to our growth and will continue to guide our future endeavors.

A Worldwide Impact
Due to the concerted efforts of our personnel and international interest, over five Assemblies worldwide are now cooperating under this Peacekeeping Service project. This international participation says much about the strength of our common vision and commitment of everyone involved.

Looking Ahead with Gratitude
To all who offered words of encouragement, patience, and support during this initiative’s crucial first year—thank you. Your belief in our vision has been invaluable as we balanced multiple trajectories, from finalizing SWOT analyses to expanding our Directorate Staff. Together, we’ve achieved remarkable service development milestones in just 12 months.

As we step into 2025, let us rejoice in this collective achievement and keep striving for excellence in peacekeeping service. The future is bright, thanks to the unshakeable dedication of our Directors, Liaisons, and all those who make this noble and challenging work possible.

Crafting Insightful Content: A Labor of Love

Honoring the Researchers, Editors, and Supporters Behind the Peacekeeping Task Force BlogSpot and PKTFnews.org

We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who has contributed their time, talent, and untold volunteer hours to the success of both the Peacekeeping Task Force BlogSpot and PKTFnews.org.

Everything combined has risen to enhance the quality of our content and site traffic, enabling readers to take valuable information back to their Assemblies as part of their outreach resource centers. These projects are crucial to bringing awareness and development to County and State Assemblies, bringing attention to the issues that truly matter.

Special thanks are given to Justice Anna Von Reitz and The Living Law Firm. This team of experts, with decades of combined research experience, law, and historical analysis, has made navigating the complex research landscape far less daunting. Their dedication provides a solid foundation for much of what we bring forth, ensuring accuracy and substance.

We also want to acknowledge our junior researchers and community journalists who are working diligently at the grassroots level. Their commitment to digging up stories and reporting on community issues is absolutely invaluable. The process of writing articles themselves takes hours of meticulous research, especially while investigating historical documents or technical legal vs lawful matters. For example, creating a well-researched article about early American history can take up to 10-12 hours, even for experienced writers. This includes researching archives, compiling findings, creating content from scratch, proofreading, and undergoing obligatory editorial approvals.

For perspective, traditional newsrooms would spend 4-8 hours producing a 300-600 word piece, depending on the subject matter complexity. Our operation takes it one step further from traditional standards by incorporating in-depth research from sources like The Living Law Firm and Anna Von Reitz's archives, as well as other trusted sources currently available around the world wherever they are found reliable.

We also leverage modern tools like Grammarly for grammatical polish, Hemingway Editor for readability checks, Zotero for citation management, and Trello for project coordination. These tools help us significantly streamline our workflow without sacrificing accuracy, professionalism, and well-spent hours pulling everything together before publication deadlines.

To all those who contribute—whether through research, editing, or outreach—thank you for your dedication. Together, we are building a resource that educates, informs, and empowers communities across our developing nation states and to all remaining corners of our beautiful earth! Your efforts do count tremendously!

Together, truly remarkable achievements can become am ongoing reality.

Most Sincerely,

Joseph Hayse

Pathways to Peaceful Progress: An American Adaptation of the Swiss Canton Model

 Introducing a Sustainable Framework for State Border Defense Through Decentralized Governance and Community-Based Defense

An exclusive glimpse into current and future presentations to all PKTF Assembly Liaisons -

Introducing a Genuinely Sustainable Framework for State Border Defense Through Decentralized Governance and Community-Based Defense Sovereignty 

Training Presentation: Swiss Neutrality and Governance – A Bold Plan for Peaceful Self-Government

Slide 1: Introduction

Title: The Enduring Appeal of Swiss Neutrality

Switzerland’s neutrality is not a relic of the past—it’s a vibrant testament to self-determination and peaceful coexistence.

Established after the Battle of Marignano (1515) and formalized by the Congress of Vienna (1815), Swiss neutrality serves as a model for balancing independence, security, and harmony.

It thrives on decentralization, civic responsibility, and community engagement.

Key Point: For Americans exploring self-governance through the American State Assemblies and Land and Soil Jurisdiction States, Switzerland’s approach offers an inspiring blueprint.

Exclusive Mention: This material will serve as an exclusive look into what will be discussed further with all PKTF - Assembly Liaisons. It will also be offered for observation and consideration to all State Assembly Militia Commanders as each State Assembly moves forward with their respective projects to create a robust State Border Defense ecosystem—always with peace and honor.

Slide 2: Main Characteristics of Swiss Neutrality

Title: A Model for Thriving Communities

A Community-Based Militia System

Switzerland’s militia system replaces a standing army with mandatory military training for all able-bodied men.

Equipment is stored at home—not as a sign of aggression but as a reminder that defense begins with the individual citizen.

Resonates with America’s founding vision of local militias safeguarding peace and liberty.

Decentralized Governance: The Strength of Local Control

Swiss cantons operate autonomously, addressing local needs while empowering civic engagement.

American State Assemblies mirror this principle by prioritizing county-level governance upon Land and Soil Jurisdiction.

Economic Diplomacy: Building Bridges Through Trade

Switzerland maintains trade relations with all nations, positioning itself as a stable partner and mediator.

American State Nationals can adopt similar economic diplomacy to strengthen interstate relations and promote prosperity.

Peaceful Coexistence: A Culture of Non-Aggression

Swiss neutrality emphasizes mutual respect, clear boundaries, and commitment to peace over military posturing.

As kinetic defensive responses are well known to be extremely rare, so then is, and will always strive for swift disengagement quickly aligning with America’s ideal of honorable reactive defense making actionable room for mending and repair.

Slide 3: Challenges and Opportunities

Title: Navigating Challenges to Strengthen Governance

Switzerland has faced criticism for economic dealings during WWII and debates over sanctions’ compatibility with neutrality principles.

These challenges have reinforced its adaptability while staying true to its values.

For Americans:

Educating citizens about their roles in Land and Soil Jurisdiction States is critical for effective governance.

Challenges present opportunities to deepen civic knowledge, strengthen communities, and reaffirm America’s founding principles.

Slide 4: Why This Matters

Title: A Call to Action for American Self-Governance

The Swiss model demonstrates how self-governance can thrive through community responsibility, peaceful coexistence, and decentralized power.

Standing armies concentrate power in ways that undermine liberty—contrary to America’s founding ideals.

Key Point: Switzerland proves security can be achieved without sacrificing freedom or peace.

Exclusive Mention: As each State Assembly progresses in creating a robust State Border Defense ecosystem, this material will provide valuable insights for PKTF - Assembly Liaisons and State Assembly Militia Commanders to observe and consider as they work toward peaceful solutions grounded in honor.

Slide 5: Conclusion

Title: A Vision Worth Pursuing

Swiss neutrality is more than policy; it’s a way of life reflecting the best ideals of self-government.

For Americans restoring constitutional principles in Land and Soil Jurisdiction States, this model offers inspiration and practical guidance.

Imagine:

Citizens actively engaged in their communities’ well-being.

Local governments operating autonomously yet harmoniously alongside one another.

Peace defined by justice and mutual respect—not merely the absence of war.

Closing Note: Boldness, creativity, and commitment are needed to make this vision a reality. Let us embark on this path together—a journey toward true self-governance and lasting peace!

Final Mention: This presentation will serve as an exclusive resource for PKTF - Assembly Liaisons and State Assembly Militia Commanders as they work collaboratively on their respective projects with peace, honor, and dedication to building robust systems that protect state borders while fostering unity within the assemblies themselves.

Continuing to offer an olive branch through clarity about the amazing services and future potential of the Peacekeeping Task Force

 Dearest readers,

Please follow the Quick Reference link to one of our channels on Telegram where we share at length by addressing a man regarding his expressed allegations of PKTF roles and functions.

The Peacekeeping Task Force (PKTF) will remain steadfast in it's ability to remain calm when facing harsh resistance built upon falsities, while vining for it's level of service recognition that reflects it's charter.

In this, our Staff fully realizes that it may take a bit more time before the majority of some people, based upon their own ability and availability to measure critically while gleaning from our work as to the nature of this peacekeeping organizations purpose and intent.

Listed under -General PKTF Development Discussions -

Nevertheless, it is not without brief moments of feverous struggle that we meet people harboring mindsets that are significantly bent on maintaining false assumptions and allegations regarding this great work!

For the sake of keeping this article short, please follow the channel to where such false claims were asserted, as well as a somewhat lengthy, but highly informative preface and follow-up to the claims as a primer for further discussions your own Assembly Liaison peacekeepers will be promptly adding to their Training Series. Your peacekeeping Liaisons will always strive to take every opportunity that would otherwise appear contentious, and embrace it for purposes of transforming the same opportunity into building peaceful bridges.

Shalom ~

From interim Marshal-at-Arms to State-elected Sergeant-at-Arms

 Some exciting developments to absorb as all State Assemblies move forward.

An example of a De facto Territorial Sergeant-at-Arms service logo

All American State Assemblies' Sergeant-at-Arms service logos will vary

The Federation for The United States of America has just brought to light its developments in the exchange from the interim Marshal-at-Arms to the traditional State-elected Sergeant-at-Arms, bringing attention to its significance in Assembly functions. Historically, the Sergeant-at-Arms was a bastion of peacekeeping within land jurisdiction, with a mission of upholding decorum and discipline under Assembly proceedings. The Federation had restored the Marshal-at-Arms as an ad hoc official on a temporary basis during the State Assembly process, supporting General Assembly operations until States fully achieved Standing and Seatment.

When Assemblies approach the point of full Standing, this interim position will be renamed the classic Sergeant-at-Arms title, as appropriate to its traditional role. This is a step toward greater State-level peacekeeping responsibilities, with the Sergeant-at-Arms being a visible public presence—available, neutral, and firm in maintaining order. The Peacekeeping Task Force will provide further training and details on this process, promoting cooperation among State-elected Sergeants-at-Arms and peacekeeping groups.

Furthermore, the working relationship of Assemblies and the Marshal-at-Arms has included reporting incidents of member misconduct to ensure accountability. With States becoming fully capacitated, this system will be strengthened under the new Sergeant-at-Arms roles, enhancing Assembly operations and peacekeeping effectiveness. Upgrades are expected as training negotiations roll on this year.

Reminder of How Smooth Collaboration During Interface Opportunities with Law Enforcement

 The above is among one of our original slide presentations where we share with all PKTF - Assembly Liaisons as part of their roles for building durable interfacing strategies.

Likewise, as part of our ongoing training Series during 2025, we will touch upon these and other such strategy approaches - especially during our new, upcoming Liaison Management Meetings set to take place comprising our Series 2 training.

These, and many more interesting, logical, and professional approaches to service will be discussed in greater detail as we move forward in practice as legitimate peace-making advocates.

Empowering Self-Governance: The Assembly Militia Journey"

 State Assemblies across the nation are making remarkable strides in self-governance, with many now focusing on the development of their Assembly Militia sub-pillar.

For those wondering where to begin or seeking safe, constructive, and forward-thinking projects as part of their preparation, this article provides essential guidance.

This same message is also being sent directly via email to State Assemblies nearing the official Standing of their four pillars, serving as both a reminder and preparation for the announcement of their State Assembly Militia Validation, which will be featured on page 3 of The Quarterly Newsletter of Self-Governance and Peacekeeping.

Preparing for Assembly Militia Development

State Assemblies nearing or achieving Standing are encouraged to focus on two key areas:

Drafting a Status Article: Assemblies should prepare a 563-word article detailing their progress toward Validation. This article will be prominently featured in The Quarterly, a well-laid-out newsletter that serves as a centerpiece for the Peacekeeping Task Force (PKTF) in 2025 and beyond. The article should highlight milestones achieved, upcoming steps, and the significance of the Assembly Militia in supporting self-governance and peacekeeping efforts.

Photographic Submission: Include at least two high-quality photographs showcasing your Assembly Militia developments. These could feature training activities, community engagement events, or even early designs of your Assembly Militia Service Logo.

The Importance of the Service Logo

A critical component of this process is the creation of your State Assembly Militia Service Logo. This logo represents your Assembly Militia sub-pillar and serves as a unique identifier for your State Border Defense services. While it may draw inspiration from your State Seal, it must be distinct enough to function as a State Patch or emblem for official letterhead use. This differentiation underscores the specific role of the Assembly Militia within the broader framework of your State Assembly.

Why This Matters

The Assembly Militia Validation Process is a pivotal step in demonstrating readiness and adherence to Federation standards. By developing a strong Service Logo and documenting progress through articles and photographs, Assemblies not only fulfill validation requirements but also contribute to inspiring other States within the Federation. These efforts reflect the values of self-governance and peacekeeping that lie at the heart of the PKTF’s mission.

Submission Guidelines

Assemblies are advised to submit their articles and photographs promptly to ensure inclusion in The Quarterly. The article will appear on page 3, with a preview featured on the cover page under "Read More." Submissions can be sent to pktf.itteam@pktf.us for your convenience.

Looking Ahead

This guidance is not only for Assemblies currently nearing Standing but also serves as a roadmap for future State Assemblies and Assembly Militia Commanders preparing for their own Federation audits and Validation Processes. By beginning these projects early—such as designing Service Logos or organizing safe militia activities—Assemblies can ensure steady progress while fostering community involvement and readiness.

The Peacekeeping Task Force looks forward to celebrating your achievements in The Quarterly. Together, we continue building a legacy of self-governance and peacekeeping that will serve as an example for generations to come.
