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.

Enhancing Engagement and Excellence in PKTF Assembly Liaison Training

A Structured Approach to Ensuring Familiarity with Training Materials and Continuous Improvement





Proposed Training Review Process for PKTF Assembly Liaison Program


The Peacekeeping Task Force (PKTF) administrative section recognizes the need to better account for training material familiarity among individuals interested in becoming Assembly Liaisons. To address this, the following initiative has been developed to ensure thorough engagement with training materials without requiring a formal training examination during 2025.


This effort is essential to shaping, maintaining, and updating all Liaison Handbook material annually, while working within the constraints of limited training funds.



Key Requirements for Liaison-in-Training

  • Replay Review Accountability

  1. People interested to become PKTF Assembly Liaisons must review all past video replays prior to onboarding. Each Liaison-in-Training will be expected to provide a written reflection via email for each replay to the Affiliate Director and Executive Secretary. 

  2. A very brief essay (1 or two paragraphs - 200/500 words) explaining what it is from the replay they gained as a "take away" from having listened to and viewed it.
  3. At least one question or a suggestion on how to improve the presentation of the contents of each of the previous replays.


This reflection should include:

  • Feedback Mechanism During Live Training Days
As a recommendation to everyone who does attend the Training Days live, invite them on the next future training how they think the training can be enhanced. If there is no response, or very few provide any feedback, then this entire process of how individuals are interviewed as part of their final interview will be addressed during subsequent training sessions.

Benefits of This Approach

  • Ensures Engagement
By highly encouraging written reflections, trainees demonstrate their commitment to comprehending and applying the material provided in previous replays.

Improves Training Quality
Constructive criticism collected through this initiative helps refine and improve training content and delivery methods. This feedback also contributes directly to shaping and updating the Liaison Handbook material for each year, ensuring it remains relevant and effective.

Fosters Collaboration

Participants actively contribute to the success of their State Assembly Militia by engaging in improvement efforts that benefit the entire organization.

Works Within Limited Resources
This initiative is designed to optimize training processes while respecting current budget constraints. The Peacekeeping Task Force has already emphasized a manageable time commitment of at most 5 to 8 hours weekly for all required tasks, including reviewing past replays. Additionally, Training Day sessions have been committed by staff to remain capped at approximately 90 minutes to ensure accessibility and efficiency.

Implementation Recommendations

Set Clear Expectations During Interviews
All candidates should be informed during their final interview that watching all prior replays and submitting reflections is a mandatory part of onboarding. This ensures accountability and sets a standard for engagement with training materials.

Communicate Expectations to Current and Future Liaisons-in-Training
Current Liaisons-in-Training should notify individuals from their State Assembly who may wish to join in the future that this training review process will be expected as part of onboarding. This expectation serves as an achievable method for obtaining feedback, constructive criticism, and contributions toward improving the overall service and training process.

Incorporate Feedback Collection into Training Days
Regularly solicit feedback during live sessions and follow-ups to maintain a culture of continuous improvement. If feedback is minimal, emphasize the importance of replay reviews as a tool for constructive engagement during subsequent sessions.

Reinforce Accountability
Highlight this process during all training sessions as a viable method for improving service quality while ensuring trainees are fully engaged with past materials.






Why This Process Is Absolutely Necessary

This initiative addresses several critical needs within the PKTF Assembly Liaison program:

It ensures that all Liaisons-in-Training are familiar with key training materials without requiring formal examinations, which aligns with current resource limitations in 2025.

Feedback collected through this process directly contributes to shaping, maintaining, and updating Liaison Handbook material annually, ensuring it reflects evolving needs and challenges.

By fostering collaboration and accountability, this initiative strengthens the overall effectiveness of PKTF Assembly operations while promoting active participation from trainees.

With limited funding available for training programs, this approach optimizes resources by leveraging trainee engagement and constructive criticism as tools for continuous improvement.





This process not only enhances onboarding but also ensures that all participants are equipped with the knowledge necessary to support their State Assembly Militia effectively.

Simply another way of building confidence in our work that reflects the Peacekeeping Task Force's commitment to excellence despite financial constraints and lays a safe, yet stronger foundation upon its level for future growth and success within the organization.

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.
