Pathways to Self-governance Excellence

Federation Fiduciary Office Requested Notice of Completion for Pilot Project of International Ombudsman Think Tank

 The Federation Fiduciary Office has issued a request of notice to acknowledge the successful completion of the six-month pilot project conducted by the International Ombudsman Think Tank. Held biweekly from September 2024 to March 2025, this education-only initiative provided participants with opportunities for open dialogue and foundational discussions on professional Ombudsman Services.

Overview of the Pilot Project

The pilot project brought together volunteers from State Assemblies across multiple continents. Participants engaged in:

Baseline Discussions: Introducing fundamental concepts of Ombudsman Services.

Scenario-Based Content: Exploring both real and imagined situations to better understand professional conflict resolution methods.

Intermediate Talking Points: Laying the groundwork for future professional training that will ultimately be conducted by Assembly members themselves, rather than relying on resources from the Federation or its Peacekeeping Task Force.

The goal of these sessions was to familiarize participants with formal conflict resolution methods while fostering a deeper understanding of how Ombudsman Services can support self-governance and shield State Assemblies as independent organizations.

Key Highlights

Scenario-Based Discussions: Participants delved into practical examples, including actual-life scenarios and thought experiments, to better grasp professional approaches to conflict resolution.

Intermediate-Level Topics: Beyond basic concepts, discussions touched on ideas that will naturally evolve into advanced training opportunities initiated by Assembly members themselves.

Interest in Certification: Many participants expressed enthusiasm for pursuing advanced training and certification independently, as such resources are not currently provided by the Federation or its Peacekeeping Task Force.

Importance of Professional Ombudsman Services

A professional Ombudsman Service is vital for any organization seeking to resolve internal disputes impartially and effectively. These services:

Promote transparency, accountability, and fairness.

Strengthen governance mechanisms by addressing conflicts professionally.

Help organizations maintain harmony while fostering trust among stakeholders.

Discussions during the pilot project highlighted how adopting professional Ombudsman practices can help State Assemblies address internal challenges in a way that aligns with their self-governance principles.

Next Steps and Resources

The next phase of this initiative will transition from introductory education to practical applications of Ombudsman Services. For those interested in learning more or pursuing training certifications, replays of past meetings are available on the Dedicated Rumble Channel. This platform also serves as an archive for future training series, offering valuable resources for individuals aiming to become certified Ombudsmen within their Assemblies.

Federation’s Role in Supporting State Assemblies

The Federation Fiduciary Office emphasizes the importance of allowing all State Assemblies to address their challenges in a professional and concise manner while maintaining autonomy. While the Federation does not provide internal conflict resolution training or services except in rare circumstances, it remains committed to supporting the safe development of all State Assemblies.

The Federation’s fiduciary role includes offering validation and seatment to Assemblies once they declare readiness to advance their sovereign self-governance structures. This approach ensures that Assemblies can evolve independently while fostering professionalism and accountability within their governance models.

This notice reflects the Federation Fiduciary Office’s awareness of the success of this pilot project and encourages continued engagement in future opportunities that promote professionalism and effective governance practices within State Assemblies.

Freedom or Facade? Rethinking Emancipation and Its Legacy in America

 A Discussion on Manufactured Consent and Historical Narratives

 The Emancipation Proclamation is often trumpeted as a turning point in the struggle for liberty in America. However, when critically analyzed, it raises profound questions about whether it was truly a step toward freedom or a strategic move to maintain control under the guise of liberation. The Peacekeeping Task Force challenges readers to delve into this complex history, questioning accepted narratives and encouraging more nuanced discussions about the nature of freedom.

The Emancipation Proclamation: A Strategic, Not Moral, Decision

Issued by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863, the Emancipation Proclamation declared enslaved individuals in Confederate territories free but left slavery untouched in Union-controlled regions. This selective application reveals its purpose as a wartime strategy rather than an uncompromising assertion of human rights. By undermining the Confederacy’s labor system and recruiting freed individuals into the Union military, the proclamation bolstered the Union cause without addressing broader societal integration or welfare for the newly freed.

This approach reflects a historical pattern: systems of control adapting to maintain dominance while shifting responsibility. The narrow scope of the proclamation ensured that while enslaved people were technically "freed," they were left without meaningful support, making them vulnerable to systemic exploitation.

Emancipation Before the Civil War: A Rare Practice

Prior to the Civil War, emancipation in America was largely confined to legal cases involving guardianship termination for adults deemed capable of managing their own affairs. These cases were rare and individualized, in stark contrast to the broad yet constrained nature of wartime emancipation. This context highlights that early America had little precedent for large-scale liberation efforts, complicating the narrative of emancipation as an act of pure benevolence.

Fighting Manufactured Consent Through Dialogue

The Peacekeeping Task Force recognizes significant gaps in how history is taught and discussed. Too often, historical narratives are shaped by persuasive tactics that promote partial truths while obscuring systemic inequities. This reflects what scholars like Noam Chomsky have identified as "manufactured consent," where public opinion is carefully engineered to align with specific agendas.

Through its recent restructuring, the Task Force has embarked on an open-ended mission to engage directly with these issues. By reexamining historical events like emancipation, we aim to challenge simplistic narratives and foster critical discussions about freedom and control.

Expanding Topics for Exploration

This article is part of a broader initiative addressing topics that challenge prevailing narratives, including, but not limited to:

> The origins and corruption of early American monetary systems.

> Architectural discoveries and technologies that defy conventional historical timelines.

> The development and misunderstood origins of movements like "sovereign citizenship."

Redesigning Sovereignty and Freedom - and Where Might the Bogus Concept of "Emancipation" Tie in to This Similar Topic

A key focus will be dismantling the purposefully dismissive and obviously thin veiled pejorative label "sovereign citizen." Too often dismissed as conspiratorial or extremist, until now, this term obscures legitimate concerns about government overreach and individual autonomy. The Task Force will provide balanced discussions on these issues, promoting a clear distinction between lawful dissent and mischaracterizations designed to stifle dialogue.

Discussions and the research that supports healthy debate concerning them have already begun. This paper tiger topic actually began during mid 2024. Much more discussion on these and other relative topics listed above will resume where they left off soon and others will pick up fresh as new talking points this year onward.

Creating Platforms for Expanding Discussion

To amplify these conversations, the Peacekeeping Task Force will utilize platforms such as Substack and Patreon to publish exclusive content. These platforms allow researchers to present nuanced perspectives on underexplored topics while engaging directly with readers seeking deeper understanding. By fostering open dialogue on issues like historical revisionism, entrenched corruption, and alternative interpretations of freedom, we aim to generate critical thinking and public interest.

Join Us in Redefining the Narrative

This effort marks the beginning of a larger undertaking to reassess history—not as a static record but as a dynamic conversation shaped by observation and inquiry. Collectively, we can challenge deceptive narratives and analyze what true freedom means—not as manufactured consent but as informed autonomy rooted in truth.

The Federation has also explored similar sensitive topics designed to respect people’s perceptions of their time while acknowledging how truth has been suppressed through deliberate obfuscation after the fact—blurring lines between reality and deception. Articles like this are meant not only to break the monotony of organizational business but also to spark compelling discussions that directly or indirectly support freedom's cause.

Stay tuned for future articles tackling these pressing concerns. Subscribe on platforms like Substack and Patreon for free to join this vital discussion about history, truth, and freedom’s ongoing fight for authenticity.

We look forward to your commentary contributions to these and other compelling discussions and revelations in the coming months.

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.

Examples of When Alleged Peacekeepers Miss The Mark

 Strengthening State Assemblies Marshal-at-Arms to Sergeant-at-Arms: A Call for Responsibility and Communication

The Peacekeeping Task Force (PKTF) plays a significant role in helping State Assemblies, Assembly Militia Pillar achieve validation for announcing it's standing and recognition within the Federation to the world as part of its own Fiduciary responsibility.

Despite PKTF's fairly significant, readily accessible information resources, ongoing and interactive training, and dedication to advocacy, two specific State Assemblies—one on the East Coast and the other spanning both sides of the Mississippi River—are still hampered by their own cultivated choice of sharing with themselves numerous bouts of misinformation.

It has been reported by their own sources that the issue lies with some among their Marshals-at-Arms offices who have been derelict in fulfilling their duty to conduct due diligence, spreading disinformation as if it were fact. Such behavior can lead to erroding the trust needed to maintain healthy decorum in their Assemblies and stands in the way of overall progress toward self-governance.

The Federation Fiduciary Office is well aware of these same self-inflicted, Assembly burdens. Such careless setbacks have now begun turning these same Assemblies into a bit of a punchline to jokes among other observers from other State Assemblies that face no such issues whatsoever. This embarrassment can be avoided with proper service training and accountability to ensure accurate information is shared. It is time to tackle these issues head-on, clarify PKTF’s purpose, yet again for these two up and coming Assemblies, and call for all responsible leadership among genuine peacekeepers that values communication and cooperation based on fact.

What PKTF Really Provides

PKTF offers three key services that enable State Assemblies to achieve Standing and resiliency toward Assembly Seatment:

1) Advocating for Safe State Border Defense

PKTF supports Assemblies in adopting firm defense positions, such as looking to successful examples similar to Switzerland's Canton system and other defense-only strategies that help support commitment to statewide safeguarding. This strategy emphasizes self-governance and resiliency at the community level, creating a platform for local autonomy while maintaining coordination with larger state and federal efforts.

2) Facilitating Interagency Collaboration

PKTF bridges communication gaps between State Assemblies, State of State law enforcement, and other entities. This includes advocating for natural resource management (e.g., water, food, seeds, machinery), emergency medical supply chains, safe route security, and cross-state logistical coordination during disasters. Examples include:

Radio Communications: Constructing secure networks via airways, rail systems, waterways, and interstate roadways.

Emergency Travel Coordination: Offering safe transportation for medical teams and supplies during emergencies.

3) Coordinating Emergency Operations Across States

PKTF acts as a communication hub during natural or manmade disasters. It facilitates coordination of neighboring states' resources to enable quick response and relief interventions. For instance:

Establishing heavy equipment repair teams for relief project recovery.

Supplying power generators or other vital resources to affected areas.

These services are not imposed by an external force but are implemented by members of each Assembly itself, showcasing the highest form of self-governance.

The Role of Internal Peacekeepers

Marshals-at-Arms are key components within their State General Assemblies as internal peacekeepers tasked with fostering trust, ensuring truthful information flow, and guiding their Assembly toward success. Unfortunately, misinformation—such as the false claim that PKTF is solely an "inspection" organization—has shown to be a careless, thoughtless, and gross neglect to service information causing unnecessary lack of trust creating senseless confusion that inhibits progress.

It is important to emphasize that PKTF does not exercise external control or supervision over State Assemblies. Instead:

The services provided by PKTF are intended to be performed by Assembly members themselves.

This represents the height of self-government: It is the people and tbose of the People who serve them within their Assembly—trained with the best resources available from the Federation—providing these services directly to their own communities.

Without an engaged set of members working together to bring PKTF’s services to their Assembly in an honest manner, these Assemblies will persist in flailing and delaying their own progress toward validation.

A Call for Action

The time is now for these confused Marshals-at-Arms to step up as responsible internal peacekeepers. Here’s what is encouraged as a - need to happen:

Obtain Proper Information from Reliable Sources: Marshals-at-Arms must directly communicate with PKTF staff or other Assemblies with operational PKTF-Assembly Liaisons rather than relying on unverifiable sources or ill-informed colleagues who do not have such same Liaisons.

Assign a PKTF-Assembly Liaison: Having a Liaison attend General Assembly meetings ensures proper information dissemination by providing direct answers to questions from a trusted source rather than perpetuating misinformation from outside influences.

Retire Practices that Foment False Information: Disseminating inaccuracies undermines faith in the Assembly and misguides members down false paths that stifle progress toward Standing and Seatment.

This Path Forward

PKTF embraces all proposals offered by the Federation to bolster community resiliency and state defense posture. By adopting these resources—modeled after successful systems like Switzerland's Canton governance, for example—State Assemblies can begin to foster self-reliance while enjoying strong inter-state cooperation.

It is not some - "external" "invading", as these two State Marshals-at-Arms have been persuaded somehow to think - outside force that will bring success—it is the honest, peaceful, and direct work of each Assembly's very own members working together toward Standing and Seatment.

Success is within reach; it is up to these Marshals-at-Arms to rise to the task, prioritize correct communication, and do what is right for their State Assembly before further embarrassment ensues due to avoidable setbacks.

And, as a last word of encouragement for those fast and loose internal peacekeepers who have done their part to perpetuate service inaccuracy about PKTF to your General Assembly - if Standing Validation and Seatment are what lies ahead of you as an Assembly, now or in the future, you might want to strongly consider advocating for those willing to help you with that from among your State Assembly members because - - and this cannot be stressed enough - - it will not be someone from outside your Assembly that will make that happen. It will be those from among you with the proper training and willingness to work together to make success a reality.

Always sincerely optimistic,
Joseph Hayse

Strengthening Oversight Responsibility: Independent Experts' Participation in State Assembly Militia Operations

How all State Assemblies Might Decide to Bolster It's Own Accountability Measure 

As it is, and as it ever will be, the Federation's involvement in any State Assembly after the Assemblies' verification for service hardness and affirmation of formal public duties is well separated from daily Assembly operations and activities.

The Fiduciary role of the Federation is, was, and shall remain independent of State Assembly business and decision-making. Once a State Assembly achieves Standing, is confirmed, and Seatment is declared and implemented, the role of the Federation—particularly where The Peacekeeping Task Force (PKTF) is concerned—is limited to networking and interfacing with communications systems and service providers that may aid State Border Defense mission operations during emergencies. The Federation also advocates for these services on behalf of each respective State.

This division enables State Assemblies to maintain full sovereignty over their domestic affairs while enjoying the advantages of the Federation's support regarding emergency communications infrastructure and coordination during crises. For example, in case of a natural or manmade disaster, emergency services enabled by State Border Defense operations can include:

Coordinated Evacuation Efforts:
Employing advanced communications networks to lead civilians away from danger in case of widespread flooding or chemical leaks.

Resource Allocation:
Supplying rapid deployment of food, water, medical supplies, and personnel to the crisis zone in case of hurricanes or factory accidents.

These examples present the Federation as a facilitator, rather than a decision-making entity in State Assemblies. However, the question remains about how State Assemblies can further enhance internal accountability mechanisms for addressing potential issues within their own ranks—namely their Assembly Militias.

The Case for Strengthened Oversight Accountability
State Assemblies are tasked with making sure that their militias are operating effectively and safely in the event of an emergency. This includes making sure that proper planning, training, and safety measures have been conducted prior to deployment. In order to be able to achieve this level of accountability, it stands to reason that Assemblies should have a neutral expert—one who is closely familiar with the preparatory processes of their own militia—be a member of their Oversight Committees.

This individual would act as a link between the Oversight Committee and the Assembly Militia leadership, providing vital feedback on whether operations were within established guidelines. Their services would be particularly valuable in investigating allegations of misconduct or negligence on the part of militia commanders. For example:

If an accident occurs during deployment—for instance, unsafe evacuation procedures cause civilian harm—this expert could help determine whether proper protocols were followed during planning phases.

In cases where operational readiness is in doubt—such as poor training leading to ineffective disaster response—the expert could verify whether safety protocols were adequately practiced before deployment.

This same topic was broached at the top of initial training offered to our PKTF - Assembly Liaisons during April 2024 when inquiries from Liaisons at that time began. Due to the nature of how PKTF assists Assemblies with acheiving safe operational and productive State Border Defense concepts and ideas, the service lends itself to the possibility of cultivating someone who would operate in this capacity as a viable candidate to be selected by their State General Assembly during future planning beyond Seatment.

As it currently stands, no authorization or solid expectation that a PKTF - Assembly Liaison would fill this role if and when such a need may arise. However, PKTF stands ready to consider and implement proper planning and training for this role if the opportunity presents itself due to it's potential consideration by any and all State General Assemblies upon request.

Historical Precedents for Oversight Models
The inclusion of subject matter experts in oversight functions is not unprecedented:

State Defense Force Accountability Systems:
State Defense Force structures worldwide hold commanders accountable for adherence to training standards and operational readiness. The example shows how accountability can be merged with responsibility at command levels.

State-level Oversight Policies:
Oversight committees in a number of states employ experts to provide clarity to investigations into governmental operations. The policies emphasize the importance of specialized knowledge in determining compliance and performance.

Practical Application-

For a State Assembly to enact such a model, it would need to determine how to insert this expert role into its Oversight Committee structure. This individual would need to meet the following criteria:

Neutrality:
They would need to be independent of current militia leadership yet familiar with its preparation procedures.

Expertise:
Their background would need to include training by an external source such as the Federation so that they would be familiar with operational safety protocols and accountability measures.

Prioritize State Interests:
Their work will be solely in the interest of their respective State Assembly, with no allegiance to any other party outside of their initial training period.

This is in alignment with the principle that each State Assembly must be autonomous while creating accountability within its own structure.

Moving Forward
By including an individual with firsthand knowledge of their own State Assembly Militia's preparatory phases within Oversight Committees, Assemblies can further their own capacity for transparency and accountability. This role would act as a failsafe against operational failures while cultivating public trust in militia activities. As governance evolves, such innovative oversight systems may be required to address complex issues at the intersection of state security and public accountability.

In this way, every State Assembly can be guaranteed secure and effective militia activity while being independent of external control such as the Federation—a structure that accommodates autonomy and cooperation in the interest of public welfare during crises.
