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 The process of writing articles themselves takes hours of meticulous research, especially while investigating historical documents or technical legal vs lawful matters.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
Executive Director,
The Peacekeeping Task Force
