TASA summary of Anna’s article

Anna asks state assembly organisers to stay coordinated, focused and within the framework of the movement she describes. She clarifies that the relevant role is Marshal at Arms, rather than Sergeant at Arms, and warns against gossip, unfulfilled commitments and provocative rhetoric. Her concern is that departures from the movement’s stated peaceful purpose could expose members to serious consequences. She urges organisers to judge contributions by useful work and to take the Federation’s guidance seriously.

Key points

  • Anna clarifies the naming of the Marshal at Arms role.
  • She asks organisers to prioritise practical work over gossip and disruption.
  • She emphasises peaceful restoration and warns against actions outside the movement’s framework.

Prepared by TASA from the research, conclusions and reflections Anna presents in her article. Her original wording follows below.

Granna Bytes: Warning By Anna Von Reitz There are no "sergeant at arms" positions yet. There are only Marshals at Arms. Keep together and keep in order. The success of the whole depends on the success of the parts and no part can afford to go off track. There are simple means to accomplish what needs to be done and simple logical proofs that need to be established for each State. From what we are seeing, ignorance is still rocking the boat and numerous state assembly organizing efforts are being kept in disarray and confusion by personality problems, gossip campaigns, and frankly, district sympathizers who are trying their best to distract us by any means possible. Stay on track. Stay focused. People that gossip and don't do the work they volunteer to do, who talk "big" and do little, should be ignored for self-evident reasons. People that preach "states rights" outside the established framework of our traditional government are trying to mislead our assemblies into insurrection --- and away from the stated premises of our movement, which is to peacefully restore our customary government. Thanks to your efforts we have come a long way toward the goal, so every time you hear some Big Mouth rabble rousing and not producing anything but wind, recognize them as: (1) an egotist; (2) a subverter; or (3) paid opposition, or (4) possibly all three. And know that that person is endangering everything you have worked for. We've recently had people in Florida preaching the same line as Michael R. Hamilton preached in Colorado, which resulted in nine good men being sentenced to over thirty years in prison. When "the Federation" tells you something, listen. It's for your own safety and out of the wealth of our experience that we speak.
