The Most Effective Means For Conflict Resolution

 The evening was felt less comforting than it would have been as the sun went over the crystal blue, cloudless horizon for me yesterday.


It was myself, along with a complete roster of The Continental Marshals invited to a special meeting for a particular growing American State Assembly to the south. I must say this meeting was quite unique! However, regardless of the rarity of those having attended, the theme of the cause for the meeting itself was the familiar "Conflict Resolution" issue.


And, I must also say these particular conflicts are largely - similarly internal by nature of the details, and are (almost entirely) the same relative conflict details my team and I have witnessed other Assemblies struggle through, and who have now also arrived at the other end with impressive perseverance!





The genre continues to be an all-too familiar selection among the people. The theme of the scenario is also well known. The stage has been set. The only differences in this occasion, though are the simply location of the altercation and the people involved are - themselves fairly new to the scene.



The remedy, however, for the repeat occurrence of train wreck type drama scenarios is (and will always appear to be) a proper and complete internal conflict cooperative resolution asset service.



A possible abstract depiction of a State-elected Marshal-at-Arms and State Assembly-appointed Ombudsman Service 



If only for the fact that the Federation of States thought it best to have both The Continental Marshals Service and The Peacekeeping Task Force in special attendance to offer help by sharing joint perspectives on the issues - was, indeed an interesting, and uniquely productive opportunity!


This particular Assembly has reported to have been grappling with such issues for a significant amount of time already (perhaps for well over a year). And, although those currently serving within the Assembly does appear to be active and eager to grow their Assembly, they currently lack one or two elements built to help restore harmony amongst mounting issues.



Please meet:

  • The State-elected Marshal-at-Arms 

&

  • The State Assembly-appointed Ombudsman Service


Without both these service providers; one State-elected to maintain singular loyalty to the State Assembly organization itself.

...and the other (a separate and impartial organization) an Assembly-appointed role built to offer an exclusive environment by effectively intercepting bonified grievances to a proper setting - thereby shielding the General Assembly meeting floor from excess internal issues.


And, of course, this then sets the entire service journey of Conflict Resolution into a very impressive productive motion!

Needless to say, without both internal peacekeepers working in correct tandem to deal with real, or perceived conflict, then this (as well as any other government service structure) will falter, become stagnant, grow bitter towards serving members, accuse others, one to another frequently for any negative progress, and so on.

Regardless of the scenario. Regardless of the Assembly. Regardless of the genuine honesty of the people and caliber of their Citizenry. Without an existing, balanced team of internal Assembly peacemakers geared around providing Conflict Resolution will always - always struggle unnecessarily!



To all other American State Assemblies currently without:

Please consider placing immediate focus on the service role of State-elected Marshal-at-Arms Assembly-appointed Ombudsman Service.

If there be a learning curve for either, or both service roles, then this is another fine opportunity to exercise self-governance by seeking knowledge and comprehension on how these two service measures work together providing excellent results of resolving most all internal conflicts.

We encourage reaching out to other industry leaders, other successful State Assemblies, as well as the annals of history to find valuable information on how these two Assembly peacemakers work together, and how they are designed to function as a most cohesive unit.

Donation Appreciation

Since the time we began receiving donations on the 18th of May, 2024 five generous contributions from readers have offered.


I struggle to find the words to express our deepest appreciation for your support in our work. And since we do not sell our work, nor do we receive a profit or compensation for our time and effort, it renders our gratitude for your generosity much more challenging to express!


In this, we would like to extend our acknowledgement to everyone who has donated so far, in the same manner we would for all future donors.





The Peacekeeping Task Force (PKTF) currently uses only the Cash App application for receiving direct donations. Cash App, however, does not provide a means of returning to donors - words of appreciation from recipients. This makes it a bit of a challenge to identify beyond the /cashtag/ of "who is who" when donations come in through the app.


And, so, PKTF is currently working to develop other means of extending our gratitude for all supporters providing us with donations (large or small) as these amounts truly do add up over time.

We are currently working on a Donor Wall that will be found on our Donations Tab, under the Campaigns Button at PKTFnews.org in the near future. From here is where all donors that would like to be recognized for their support can be found. And though we do realize some donors would prefer not to be recognized directly, we want to offer at least the opportunity for donors to provide general detail of what State Assembly they are apart. This way, we can at least provide an honorable mention to those State Assemblies, by Name whose generous members have supported our work.

For example, if you are a current or future donor, but would like to remain anonymous for your donation, then please contact us by using the Contact Form here > PKTF General. Simply provide a brief comment, along with your contact information and how you would like to have your donation acknowledged, and we will process your suggestion accordingly. If you would prefer to remain anonymous, then we will defer to only providing a general acknowledgement to the Name of your State Assembly instead.

The future Donor Wall will provide both honorable mentions for people, by name, as well as for the Names of those State Assemblies respectively.


We will be providing future subarticles, as well as more full-featured articles on these and other relevant topics in the days and weeks ahead.



Once again, many thanks to all our readers worldwide who have been in a position to support our work so far! Our team is dedicated to providing the much needed interface between sovereign men and women and their current, and future subcontractors (at both local and State levels). With your words of encouragement and opportunities to support our current, and future service infrastructure we will most definitely succeed!

The "sovereign citizen" pejorative is Sinking Fast!

While "the jury is still out", as the idiom goes, it is quickly becoming apparent as to the verdict on this "paper tiger" narrative.


The term "sovereign citizen" is, indeed dying a terrific death in the educated minds of kind-hearted people all across the earth. And the evidence surrounding this victory is just over the horizon.






The root cause for the end-of-life can be found by singling one word out of the equation. And that word is "citizen."

In this, the sovereignty expression begins to stand alone as a non factor. We will, however return to the embrace of sovereignty in later articles, and how the desperate attempt to couple these two words together was perpetuated for an impressive 60 plus year's - until today.

As we turn our focus on the word citizen, along with it's etymology, we then begin transitioning into its Jurisdictional boundaries and service vicinity, it's vessel, it's roles and responsibilities, then finally to the Equal Rights associated with it's status.


As mentioned above, the jury is still out regarding its verdict on the matter. And, so, as we wait patiently for the presentment let us ponder just a few from among the mounds of evidence gathered so far.


Citizenry (as it's vessel being a "citizenship") is a necessary, limited status functioning within an evolved community of self-governing people. Citizenship (when joined into and navigated respectfully) should be experienced on behalf of the governed as a tremendous honor among mankind! And, in turn for this honor, such same levels of respect for serving the people be returned by the governed to its Citizenry (it's People) for their honest service.

When examining the evidence so far should be well known as an appreciative fact. People in service to people should always be appreciated, especially among communities where self-governance is what underpins the community as a whole.

What has been purposefully distracted from the entire equation, and of which has largely, successfully caused such confusion through its purposeful distortion up until recently has been that of the insistence upon "compulsory service."


Compulsory service, or the persistent instance to carry the label (along with sensitivities for the Rights of such People" as a "Servant of the people") does seem to have been the linchpin.

Certain select intelligence communities, in all fairness to speculative observations have, therefore, seemingly thought it best to maintain an extremely loose affiliation between People who freely volunteer to serve others with honor, and those people who respect others in voluntary service.

These same intelligence communities have apparently attempted to maintain a fragile, yet potent narrative between the priority (compelling) need to maintain an honorable Citizenry, while simultaneously seeking to earn genuine respect among the people (sovereigns) for their service.

Empirical evidence has shown, thus far a consistent deficiency in both - a willingness by sovereign men and women to continue voluntarily serving other sovereign people who have consistently maintained a record of disrespect towards their servants over time.


Ongoing research of both the previous records, and current observations of the same undertakings are leading to these details being the prevailing evidence on the matter. When encompassing the lawful duty around self-governance and voluntary, yet necessary element of needing to serve those who are also responsible to self-govern inadvertently causes a very interesting paradigm!


When abuses to servants, while in voluntary service to other's goes without correction only leads to even more disrespect to the opposing scale, (as well as a lack of future volunteer service) often leads to bitter animosities. It is at this point where a pivot has been shown to have taken place slowly over time.


We are beginning to uncover the finer details behind the notion of volunteer servants being neglected, disrespected, verbally abused and taken advantage of by those whom they have served. And, in all fairness to historic observations we can attest to the record as reflecting such a narrative whereby we are told that "harsh servitude" is, indeed a part of our past - at least on some level or another.


If this is the case, and of what we are experiencing today is a type of "turning the table" parallel shift in roles, as well as a sense of nullification unto natural jurisdiction, then we can start to appreciate such an attempt to press onward with using the "sovereign citizen" pejorative in an attempt to undermine by gas-lighting those seeking lawful political status-correction by correcting the record to that of a foreign sovereign.

Now everyone among the sovereign men and women appears to be compelled to serve others (as part of a Citizenry), and that now everyone among the sovereign men and women appears to be receiving the same unilateral levels of disrespect by those who now behave with and maintain a self preservation "citizen sovereign" hybrid status.



And so, here we appear to be at this time. It bears repeating that the jury is still out on this as fact, but, the details are most certainly evident!



- What might be the remedy of the above observations be the case in fact?

> The sovereign people must, themselves consider to continue temporarily volunteering to forego a portion of their own sovereignty to serve their communities, and to do so honorably.

> The sovereign people who remain fully sovereign must consider maintaining self-governance by upholding common law, while returning deserving respect to the People who serve their communities.

> The sovereign people must consider never to compel, manipulate, purposefully or recklessly mis-characterize, or deceive anyone to voluntarily (or involuntarily) serve another, nor foment the same exploitation upon anyone to remain in voluntary servitude beyond a reasonable length of term.

> The sovereign men and women must consider continuing to honor and protect the Equal Rights of the People (their Citizenry) in service to their communities at all times.


This very much appears to be where we are at this point in time!


More to follow as we venture on with more op-ed pieces like this on the topic of properly dismantling the "sovereign citizen" pejorative.
