PeaceBridgeNetwork Now Live Across All 50 American States

 A Dedicated Communications Bridge for Lawful Peacekeepers and Assembly Liaison Officers — with Global Expansion on the Horizon

After many months of quiet development, patient testing, and steady refinement behind the scenes, the PeaceBridgeNetwork has now officially taken form. It is rolling out across all 50 American States as a communications and organizational hub for those serving in Land, Soil, and Sea Jurisdiction peacekeeping roles as well as for Assembly liaison officers working within the American State Assemblies.
 
This is no small milestone. It represents the unifying of a long-in-the-making vision: to give our peacekeepers and Assemblies the ability to coordinate in a lawful, peaceful, and self-governing manner across secure lines, while maintaining their independence and standing free from outside control or interference.
 

The Road That Brought Us Here

When this effort first began, the intention was to operate the PeaceBridgeNetwork over the Element/Matrix platform. For those unfamiliar, Matrix is an open-source, decentralized communications protocol designed to give users full control of encrypted messaging, conferencing, and group communications. At a time when censorship and top-down interference run rampant in centralized systems, Matrix appeared to be a sound starting point.
 
Yet over ten patient months of exploration, the leadership team recognized that something else was needed. A decision was then made to adopt a platform comparable to Mattermost, which had already proven itself within the Federation of States for committee work and Assembly coordination. What came forward was a space designed by and for peacekeepers—streamlined for their real-world responsibilities while still maintaining resilience against disruption.
 

Why This Network Matters

The PeaceBridgeNetwork was built with keen attention to the actual daily needs of peacekeepers, liaison officers, and their subject matter experts. Its structure is meant to support:
 
  • Border defense operations at the State and local levels,
     
  • Smooth interaction with liaison officers building practical interface solutions,
     
  • And lawful, peaceful, rights-preserving self-governing practices in times of emergency or disruption.
     







This platform was specifically made with real people - not corporate entities in mind, regarding how peacekeepers must navigate real-life responsibilities — not just theory — and how they balance those responsibilities while staying true to their de jure affirmations, de facto oaths of office and lawful, as well as acceptable, legal obligations.
 
It’s worth pointing out that participation is entirely voluntary. No peacekeeper, marshal, sheriff, commander, or liaison is required to use this space in order to fulfill their duties. Those who choose to participate, however, will find it to be both an aid and an asset, making their work easier, faster, and more collaborative.
 

An Integrated Intelligence Framework

Unlike prior working tools, this new system was designed from the wireframe up with an integrated intelligence arm. Categories and structure within the PeaceBridgeNetwork allow real-time distribution of:
 
  • Emergency alerts and verified information,
     
  • Training schedules, interface solutions, and outreach strategies,
     
  • Safeguard initiatives and procedural guidance,
     
  • Day-to-day communications between peacekeepers and their counterparts, including subcontractors where needed.
     
This makes the Network not just another meeting tool, but a living intelligence bridge—always accessible, always geared toward advancing the lawful and peaceful missions of peacekeeping, and immune to needless distraction.
 

Challenges Along the Way

It should come as no surprise that the path here was not without obstacles. Much of the progress was hampered at times by false allegations and false presumptions regarding the role and work of the Peacekeeping Task Force itself. These sorts of unfounded challenges sought to cast shadows, stir doubt, and stifle the forward momentum of those committed to serving the sovereign people.
 
There were also disruptions from external voices and unnecessary remarks—noise that drained attention from the real mission had it been entertained as if it were legitimate. On top of these, the project suffered under pressures familiar to any grassroots initiative: administrative setbacks, and long periods of short staffing during the start-up of multiple projects happening simultaneously. Only once when there was enough participation and stability did the foundation become strong enough to see this platform take final shape.
 
The fact that we are here today, announcing this launch, is itself an answer to those trials.
 

Invitations Rolling Out

As of this launch, targeted invitations are now being issued to peacekeepers and Assembly liaisons, including but not limited to:
 
  • Soil Jurisdiction County Sheriffs (Reeves),
     
  • Continental Marshals Service Chieftain,
     
  • Marshals-at-Arms,
     
  • Assembly Militia Commanders,
     
  • PKTF Assembly Liaison officers and their emerging teams,
     
  • The Federation’s Military Affairs Liaison Office.
     
Participation will expand over the weeks to come as each State begins to onboard more of its peacekeeping teams into the platform.
 

A Vision Larger Than the States

Significantly, the Network is not limited to the United States. The same communications hub is already being prepared for use by foreign State Assemblies functioning within their own Land and Soil Jurisdictions abroad.
 
Countries such as New Zealand, Spain, Canada, Australia, Ireland, England, Germany, Greece, South Africa, Jamaica, and others will soon have access to this system as they hear that the doors are now officially open. This means the PeaceBridgeNetwork will very soon connect not just communities within each of the States, but also international peacekeepers and assemblies who share the same commitment to lawful process and self-governance.
 

A Word of Reminder

On her website, Anna Maria Riezinger often reminds us of what lawful self-governance requires. One passage stands out in light of this new development:
 
“Self-governance is — and always will be — an act of responsibility and courage. We govern ourselves by honest communication, shared duty, and steadfast integrity. Without these, freedom is just a word. With them, it is a way of life.”
 
Her words reflect exactly why the PeaceBridgeNetwork was built: to keep that communication flowing, to prevent duty from being scattered, and to guard the integrity of our peacekeeping mission.
 

A Strong Step Forward

The PeaceBridgeNetwork launch is a testament that even when faced with obstacles, false charges, lack of staff, and distracting voices, those who stay true to their dedication will always finish their work with honor. It is proof that unity will always outlast disorder.
 
And while this is not the end of a story — it is the start of a new chapter. The chapters ahead will see:
 
  • Each State onboarding its peacekeepers into stronger communication lines,
     
  • Cross-Assembly cooperation taking on a new shape,
     
  • Foreign States stepping into the bridge alongside us,
     
  • And peacekeepers finally having a dedicated platform worthy of their service.
     
So let it be recognized: the bridge is built, and it is open. Those who walk across will find themselves connected to their fellow peacekeepers in a way that honors their duty, advances their mission, and strengthens what they have already worked so hard to establish.
 
This is not just a technical achievement. It is a declaration that we are still building, still growing, still standing together — lawfully, peacefully, and with full resolve.
 

✨ The PeaceBridgeNetwork is here. The rest — the strength it delivers, the bonds it forges, and the clarity it maintains — will be in the hands of the peacekeepers and their dedicated peacebuilders themselves.

Guardians of Accountability: The Critical Need for Public Access to State Assembly Meeting Minutes

How Transparency in Legislative Records Empowers Contractors, Emergency Services, and the Public—From Bulletin Boards to Modern Websites


The Lawful, Legal, and Civic Foundation of Meeting Minutes

Meeting minutes are the official documentation of state assemblies and legislative bodies’ proceedings. They record attendance, moves, ballot counts, discussions, and decisions made during meetings, serving as an authoritative record for accountability, transparency, and historical reference. Open Meeting Laws and public records require the creation and perpetual preservation of these minutes, ensuring that governments remain answerable to their constituents and the public at large.
 
This requirement extends to all types of assemblies—including Land and Soil Jurisdiction State Assemblies and local nation state assemblies—which oversee critical decisions regarding land use, sovereignty, commercial zoning, and public resource management. These decisions influence communities, businesses, subcontractors, and emergency responders, who rely on transparent governance for effective operations.





 

Why Public Access to Minutes is Essential

Public availability of approved meeting minutes is indispensable for several key groups:
 
  • Subcontractors depend on access to minutes for understanding contract awards, compliance requirements, project scope, and timelines. Without clear documentation, they face risks of missteps in jurisdictions, delays, and potentially lawful, as well as legal complications.
     
  • Emergency Services require timely insight into legislative decisions—such as budget allocations, emergency declarations, and infrastructure adjustments—to plan, coordinate, and respond efficiently. When minutes are inaccessible, their readiness and response capabilities are hampered.
     
  • The General Public benefits from transparency, which fosters trust, civic engagement, and informed oversight of government actions.
     
For assemblies governing land, soil, sea, and predominant local nation jurisdictions, accessible minutes are particularly crucial because their decisions affect limited de facto territorial control under contract, sovereignty issues, and the general welfare of local populations. All relevant and lawful parties must be well informed about updates and policies.
 

Historical and Contemporary Practices Ensuring Accessibility

Before the internet, meeting minutes were physically posted and distributed for public inspection:
 
  • Minutes were displayed on bulletin boards in municipal buildings, tribal offices, courthouses, and libraries.
     
  • Local newspapers and official newsletters often provided summaries.
     
  • Citizens could inspect minutes at government offices, preserving both transparency and record accuracy.
     
Today, all expected lawful, as well as legal requirements require and dictate that all approved meeting minutes be made available on official government websites as well as in public offices. Laws set forth timelines for posting minutes and related documents, ensuring prompt and continuing access. This combination of digital and physical availability guarantees the broadest possible access to these vital public records.
 

The Scope of Assemblies and Their Responsibilities

The tradition of transparency covers all assemblies—not only State of State legislatures but also those with Land and Soil Jurisdiction and local nation-state assemblies. These latter bodies manage unique and vital responsibilities, from land stewardship and sovereignty matters to culturally specific governance. Their meeting records provide insight into local policies, lawful, as well as legal frameworks, and community priorities.
 
Maintaining open access to minutes from these assemblies is essential for effective governance, coordination among governmental agencies, contractors, emergency services, and respecting tribal and local nation sovereignty.
 

Lawful and Legal Standards and Meeting Minute Display

Laws governing open meetings and records typically require:
 
  • Written, approved minutes capturing attendance, movements, ballot counts with election results, and other substantive discussion points.
     
  • Meetings to be conducted with notice to the public, open to observation except in narrowly defined closed session cases.
     
  • Posting of approved minutes both physically in official meeting venues and digitally on accessible government websites.
     
  • Ensuring minutes and accompanying documents are clearly linked to the meeting agenda and readily available for public inspection.
     
  • Closed session minutes are generally restricted, but when disclosed, they must comply with strict, lawful, as well as legal standards for transparency and accountability.
     

Building on Tradition with Modern Technology

As the Peacekeeping Task Force works on developing network capabilities for communication with law enforcement, integrating and supporting access to these traditional public records remains paramount. While audio and video recordings of General Assembly meetings are not lawfully or legally required, the written and approved meeting minutes constitute the indispensable official record essential for all lawful parties to rely upon.
 

This foundational transparency supports ongoing collaborations between assemblies, de facto law enforcement, emergency responders, contractors, and State Citizens, as well as to all other manufactured and incorporated Citizen constructs—ensuring all general information flows clearly, decisions are documented, and public trust is maintained.

Guardians of the County: The Central Role of the Soil Jurisdiction Sheriff and PKTF-Assembly Liaisons in Assembly-Led Disaster Response

Why Every State Needs Recognized Points of Contact for Effective Peacekeeping Task Force Service, Continental Marshals Process Serving, and Public Accountability


Introduction

Every disaster—whether wildfire, hurricane, flood, or industrial accident—unfolds within a county, making the Soil Jurisdiction Sheriff (County Reeve) the indispensable authority at the heart of every lawful response, investigation, and enforcement action.

However, the effectiveness of the Peacekeeping Task Force (PKTF)—operating as a service arm of the Federation of States—depends critically on the presence of PKTF-Assembly Liaisons at both state and local levels, as well as other vital roles such as the Marshal-at-Arms and the Assembly Militia Commander. Without these recognized points of contact, the PKTF and the Continental Marshals Service face significant challenges in fulfilling their service obligations, particularly in process serving and enforcement of Assembly findings.



Together, we can make the difference required to Bring Lawful Peacekeeping Into Reality


A Roundtable Environment for Collective Peacekeepers at all Levels

Breaking New Ground: America’s First Official Meeting of Soil Jurisdiction County Guardians

Local Peacekeepers Forge an International Platform for Lawful Remedy and Community Collaboration

In a historic first, two Soil Jurisdiction County Guardians—also known as Sheriff's or American Reeves—have convened for an official meeting, marking a pivotal moment for local peacekeeping and lawful governance in America. This groundbreaking event opens the door for fellow Soil Jurisdiction Peacekeepers from across the nation to connect, collaborate, and “talk shop” about their unique roles as locally elected protectors of the people.





 
Watch the full meeting on Rumble:
Restore the Republic Podcast – June 21, 2025
 

A New Platform for Local Peacekeepers

Although office holders such as these two are held by numerous other men and women across the over 3140 American counties as well, this inaugural meeting, however, sets the stage for an international platform where Soil Jurisdiction Sheriffs can share experiences, strategies, and support each other in their mission to uphold the highest standard of lawful remedy. Unlike corporate “County of” Sheriffs, who operate within the limited capacity of municipal Martime Admiralty (Sea Jurisdiction) law enforcement, Soil Jurisdiction Peacekeepers retain Superior Concurrent General Jurisdiction—serving as the ultimate local authority and guardians of the people’s rights and is The highest Peacekeeping Officer within the entire Continental United States of America upon their county.

Restoring County and State Sovereignty in Federal Immigration Raids: A Responsible Path Forward

Balancing Federal Enforcement, Local Sovereignty, and Community Safety in America’s Most Contested Cities

 
 
In recent days and weeks, the United States has witnessed a surge in federal immigration enforcement actions—particularly in major metropolitan areas. These events have reignited crucial discussions about the constitutional roles of county sheriffs, the sovereignty of states and counties, and the importance of public safety and transparency in densely populated urban centers.
 

The Role of Political Theater and Media Manipulation
 
It is important to recognize that well-educated and informed Americans are increasingly aware of the political theater that unfolds around these issues. Both major parties and their representatives often engage in narrative-building that is not only counter-productive but also undermines the well-being of the lawful people who strive to live peacefully together.
 
Legacy media sources frequently amplify and manipulate these narratives, fueling division and fostering negative perceptions of events wherever political persuasions clash. In this environment, the political arena itself bears significant responsibility for failing to act as a responsible steward. Instead of serving the public good, today’s service subcontractors at both the State and Federal levels often prioritize political advantage over their duty to the people.
 
This dynamic makes it all the more essential for communities to seek truth, demand transparency, and hold all levels of government accountable to the principles of sovereignty, lawful conduct, and genuine public service.

The Buy-In (also known more aptly as the Get-Home) Bag or Kit.
