As Land and Soil Jurisdiction Assemblies prepare to enter Full Assembly Session, the importance of State Coordinators and PKTF-Assembly Liaisons cannot be overstated. The time has come to broaden our focus beyond general member intake and embrace the critical development of State Assembly Militia and Special Purpose Committees.

 
The Peacekeeping Task Force (PKTF) plays a crucial role in guiding American State Assemblies on matters related to lawful border security measures and inter-state cooperation. However, it has come to our attention that some State Coordinators may be hesitant to support these efforts within their State Assembly Militia sub-pillar.
 
It is important to emphasize that any reluctance from State Coordinators to support this initiative without valid cause is a serious delinquency in their role of supporting lawful State and local county Assembly growth. The success of our Assemblies relies heavily on the active participation and support of all members, especially those in leadership positions.
 
For Assemblies nearing Standing status or still in development, appointing an educated PKTF-Assembly Liaison should be a top priority.
 
This role is vital for all stages of Assembly development, facilitating communication and coordination between the PKTF and individual Assemblies. The PKTF-Assembly Liaison serves as a bridge, ensuring that vital information flows smoothly, and that Assemblies are well-equipped to handle the evolving needs of our federation. Several states, including Missouri, are actively participating in lawful, peaceful exercises to enhance regional State Assembly militia Special Purpose Committee capabilities. These exercises are not only beneficial for individual Assemblies but also contribute to the overall strength and resilience of our network.
 
We urge all State Assemblies to seek information on these ongoing developments and engage in proper outreach efforts. It's crucial to recognize that American States are international in nature, and the Peacekeeping Task Force operates within this jurisdictional realm. Maintaining contentious behaviors against lawful and peaceful cooperation efforts from qualified, status-corrected Americans is counterproductive in the broader international context. Instead, we should focus on fostering collaboration and understanding among all parties involved.
 
If any State Coordinator is currently experiencing communication gaps within their Assembly - be it with Assembly members, coordinators, or individuals seeking viable means of cooperation and state assembly involvement - we strongly encourage them to come to the table and begin broaching these subjects of conversation. The same applies to issues related to Federation of States peacekeeping services in the international jurisdiction space or areas where de facto subcontractors are causing significant lack in Assembly progress. Shrinking from these opportunities for discussion only hinders our collective progress.
 
The Peacekeeping Task Force is structured to create a cyclical approach towards Evalution, Education, and Coordination of all peoples involved across available meeting spaces. This includes, albeit in a limited fashion, State Coordination cooperation. By engaging in open dialogue and addressing concerns head-on, we can work together to overcome obstacles and strengthen our Assemblies. To all those who are actively involved in their State Assembly restoration progress, we extend our heartfelt gratitude. Your dedication and hard work are the driving force behind our movement. For those still considering assembly participation but may be experiencing issues or contention about joining their State General Assembly, we encourage you to reach out and voice your concerns. Remember, every voice matters, and your participation is crucial to the success of our cause.
 
As we move forward, let us focus on maintaining cooperative means of interfacing with the growing list of educated peacekeepers and their existing Law Enforcement counterparts. By fostering understanding and collaboration between these groups, we can create a more harmonious and effective system that serves the best interests of all Americans.
 
 
 
In closing, let us remember that our strength lies in our unity and our willingness to work together towards a common goal. As we face the challenges ahead, let us do so with courage, determination, and an unwavering commitment to the principles of lawful governance and individual liberty. Together, we can build a brighter future for ourselves and generations to come.
 
 
The path may not always be easy, but with perseverance and cooperation, we can overcome any obstacle and achieve greatness as a united federation of sovereign states.

From Disconnect to Dialogue: PKTF's Strategic Assembly Outreach

 Reconnecting the States: PKTF’s Comprehensive Strategy for State Assembly Engagement


The Peacekeeping Task Force (PKTF) has relaunched its nationwide initiative to engage with every American State General Assembly. This ambitious effort is designed to promote peacekeeping principles, foster collaboration, and address any systemic communication challenges that may hinder effective governance.

Rooted in PKTF’s service charter, the initiative emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between de facto law enforcement and de jure peacekeeping while advancing American Common Law as a guiding framework for sustainable governance. This Evaluation Service represents the Federation of States’ dedication to peacekeeping success and has been a central vision of PKTF since its inception as a viable American peacekeeping service provider. The continued vision for 2025 and beyond builds upon this baseline approach to support State Assembly success.





A Strategic Approach to Outreach


PKTF’s outreach begins with direct communication to State Coordinators and Marshals-at-Arms, requesting a 30-45 minute segment on the General Assembly’s agenda. This time is dedicated to presenting "Peacekeeping 101," an introductory discussion that highlights the importance of developing Assembly Committees, Joint Committees, and Subcommittees where general peacekeeping principles and practices are concerned to address immediate project needs. Examples of such committee involvement whereby peacekeeping initiatives are cultivated are Assembly Militia, Provisions Committee, General Assembly,  Outreach Committee, and Standing Committee's such as the Oversight Committee in certain instances.

Recognizing the cost-effectiveness and convenience of virtual meetings, PKTF prioritizes teleconferencing as the primary method of engagement at this time. Representatives from the Federation’s Fiduciary Office are also invited to participate when available.

Emails sent to State Coordinators include proposed dates and times for meetings, along with an invitation to open a line of communication with PKTF Directors.

If no response is received within 3-7 days, follow-up emails are sent reiterating the request and emphasizing the importance of collaboration. After two weeks of silence, PKTF expands its outreach by contacting other individuals within the State Assembly whose email addresses are publicly available.


These inquiries aim to determine:

  • The status and safety of the State Coordinator.


  • The next scheduled General Assembly meeting.


  • The availability of recent meeting recordings or minutes.


This expanded outreach ensures that PKTF exhausts all possible avenues to establish, or reestablish previously maintained contact and gather critical information about the Assembly’s current operational status.


Emergency Measures: Committee of the Whole


If no meaningful contact can be established after repeated attempts, PKTF will schedule a special, interim emergency meeting space as a Committee of the Whole. This meeting will be open to all willing participants within the Assembly and other stakeholders. The objectives of this temporary emergency session include:

Assessing the Status of Leadership
PKTF will inquire into the safety and availability of the State Coordinator or Marshal-at-Arms to confirm their well-being or identify any issues preventing their participation.


Investigating Communication Breakdowns
Simple investigative methods will be proposed to identify potential causes of communication failures, such as procedural gaps or leadership transitions.


Engagement with the Federation Fiduciary Office
Representatives from the Federation’s Fiduciary Office will attend (if available) to evaluate the situation and determine actionable steps for resolving ongoing issues.


Addressing Estranged Members
PKTF will explore why status-corrected Assembly members may face, or previously have been facing difficulties transitioning, or being offered general access into their Assemblies and propose solutions for smoother integration.


When Silence Persists: Declaring Assembly Leadership as Potentially Projecting Being “Out of Business”


In cases where no response is received despite these exhaustive efforts, PKTF may escalate its concerns by reporting findings to higher authorities within the Federation. If all outreach attempts fail, including emergency meetings, the Federation will assume that the current State Assembly Coordination team is effectively "Out of Business." However, this designation is not acceptable for a true American government rooted in transparency and accountability. And so, this effort underlines the need for approachable ways to help our American State Assemblies stay on track and remain in-session while also remaining accessible and transport during normal session to the general public.

After all other means for establishing meeting efforts have been exhausted, the Federation will then initiate further investigations into what structural or procedural failures may have caused this disconnect. This includes examining compliance with rules regarding open General Assembly meeting procedures of each State Assembly in question as they are discovered, which often require public access to meeting minutes and recordings.

Additionally, public resources such as archived public declaration records, materials, or webcasts may be leveraged to gain insight into Assembly activities when direct communication proves impossible.


Bridging Gaps for Future Success


PKTF recognizes that some Assemblies may face delays due to connection issues, vacations, status-correction recording events, or other outreach activities that temporarily disrupt communication channels. In rare circumstances where prolonged communication becomes a factor, an emergency meeting will be scheduled along with detailed documentation of the situation. These measures ensure that PKTF can continue its mission in a timely manner while addressing any obstacles hindering progress.

For Assemblies without an established PKTF-Assembly Liaison, bridging these gaps becomes even more critical.

These Liaisons play an essential role in maintaining open channels between PKTF and Assemblies, ensuring that peacekeeping initiatives move forward efficiently.






Advancing Peacekeeping Through Collaboration


The Peacekeeping Task Force remains committed to fostering collaboration and ensuring that all State Assemblies are equipped to participate effectively in peacekeeping efforts.

Feedback from each engagement informs updates to presentation materials, ensuring consistency and relevance across all interactions. Any revisions are communicated transparently in advance.

By addressing systemic challenges head-on and promoting accountability at every level, PKTF aims to empower State Assemblies as active participants in advancing peacekeeping initiatives nationwide.

This comprehensive strategy reflects PKTF’s unwavering dedication to sustainable governance through education, collaboration, and strategic planning.


As PKTF moves forward into 2025 and beyond, its continued vision focuses on expanding these foundational services while adapting strategies to meet evolving challenges.


Through persistence, adaptability, and collaboration with the Federation’s Fiduciary Office, PKTF ensures that no Assembly is left behind in its mission to uphold peacekeeping principles and strengthen American governance—one Assembly at a time.
