Prelude To Detroit: The Tale Of Why Peter Duke & Tracy Connors Suck - Stealin' The Children, Land & Vote The GO BLUE - Detroit Land Bank Authority Model




He is the political fashion photographer to all the co-conspirator stars of the 2016 election interference.

I would never have ever given him a second thought to his existence, but he attempted to summon the Celestial Goddess of the Woodshed, without going through the proper prayers, while contemporaneously invoking the names of Cernovich and Ali Alexander, in the same video, as 2016 election interference experts, which gave me all indicators that he is of similar ilk of these same vile creatures, for they were all mean to my Sweetie.

He said "#MeToo".

This means he knows my blog, leaving him no excuse to continue promulgating false claims in the public record for the purposes of cloaking the industry of trafficking tiny humans.

That is what I call dark magic because we have something called due process in this land, where, prayers are peaceably delivered to the individual who has received the transfer of the one's voice, through the vote.

This means, if there is a situation where one finds transgressions upon government, or with governance, there exists formal mechanisms, either through the administrative process of grievance to one's elected representative in request for constituency services to report such actions, or, in an exhaust of administrative remedy, in court of law, under oath of the seal, in bearing witness.

Alas, Peter likes to make modern day codexes, which is not included the formal process of heraldry, or rather preservation of the record, like what Jorge just did in beatification, for the posterity of society, under oath, because his endeavours are devoid of being granted a seal, or rather a crowdsourcing of manufactured, edited evidence, of false claims, which begs the question to the national sources of his funding.

So, I looked up to see if he had registered as a foreign agent under FARA.

The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) was enacted in 1938. FARA requires certain agents of foreign principals who are engaged in political activities or other activities specified under the statute to make periodic public disclosure of their relationship with the foreign principal, as well as activities, receipts and disbursements in support of those activities.  Disclosure of the required information facilitates evaluation by the government and the American people of the activities of such persons in light of their function as foreign agents. The FARA Unit of the Counterintelligence and Export Control Section (CES) in the National Security Division (NSD) is responsible for the administration and enforcement of FARA.

Due to health concerns regarding COVID-19, the FARA Public Office will be closed until further notice. Should you need access to information that is unavailable online, please contact the FARA Unit at fara.public@usdoj.gov for assistance.

I did not find any seals so I looked up his NGO association and found this.


And, I found this...

2008 is the last filing for Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation

Then, I found this, where the Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation seems to have gone through the Corporate Shape Shifting metamorphis to magically become the USC Shoah Foundation Institute, because I could not produce any state or federal corporate findings, nor UCC, to demonstrate the contrary to my premise that the corporate parental right to keep and bear the arms of the United States were terminated,  which automatically led me to experience a severe episode of Post Traumatic Fraud Disorders, because I have just found myself another one of those transposable models, like the Detroit Land Bank Authority and the Clinton Foundation, where they like to use big institutions like banking or universities to launder money out the country through those glorious tiny human trust funds transposable models, like Michigan State University, University of Michigan, Grand Valley State, and the many other universities which are at the threshold of a SCOTUS review.

Then, I found lots of living and dead trademarks, which automatically demonstrates that there was some serious trafficking tiny humans operations going on, because I can see the transposable model.

Steven Spielberg And USC Shoah Foundation To Honor William Clay Ford, Jr., Executive Chairman Of Ford Motor Company, At Ambassadors For Humanity Gala In Detroit

USC Shoah Foundation logo
NEWS PROVIDED BY

USC Shoah Foundation Institute 
May 13, 2015, 10:07 ET
     
DETROIT, May 13, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Steven Spielberg, founder of USC Shoah Foundation – The Institute for Visual History and Education, will present William Clay Ford, Jr., executive chairman of Ford Motor Company, with the Institute's Ambassador for Humanity Award at the organization's annual gala, taking place this year in Detroit on Sept. 10. Ford will be recognized for his leadership and corporate citizenry around education and community. Mickey Shapiro, real estate developer and longstanding member of the Institute's Board of Councilors, is the event's co-chairman. The gala vice chairs and benefit committee will comprise leaders from the local community and from around the nation.

The September gala will provide the opportunity to highlight the Institute's global work in making the 53,000 audio-visual interviews with survivors and witnesses of the Holocaust and other genocides in its Visual History Archive a compelling voice for education and action.

USC Shoah Foundation has a long history in Michigan and with Ford Motor Company, which was the sole sponsor of the 1997 NBC broadcast of the Academy Award® winning "Schindler's List,"' the film that inspired the establishment of the Institute. The Institute collected 335 testimonies with Holocaust survivors and witnesses in the Detroit area, with local videographers and interviewers specially trained for the job.

The Visual History Archive is also available on two campuses in Michigan, University of Michigan - Ann Arbor and University of Michigan - Flint.

The event will also shine a light on the emerging partnership between USC Shoah Foundation and Ford Motor Company to expand the Institute's IWitness educational platform in the Detroit area. IWitness brings the first-person stories of survivors and witnesses of genocide from the Institute's Visual History Archive to students via multimedia-learning activities that are accessible via Macs, PCs, iPads, and tablet devices connected to the Internet.

They all have trafficking tiny humans trust funds
Currently, 100 educators in Michigan – and over 6,500 globally – use IWitness. In addition, more than 250 educators in Michigan, and over 15,000 nationally, have been trained on Echoes and Reflections, a multimedia Holocaust curriculum developed by the Institute and partners, the Anti-Defamation League and Yad Vashem.

This is that database David Whelan, brother of Paul Whelan, the one who did the Clinton Foundation
database, set up the University of Michigan library system for the State of Michigan, where I still have access, as soon as I update my stuff, because I am pretty damn sure I worked on the initial stages of the design out University of Michigan Dearborn with my Psychobabies. This is a human asset management database of identities, where, you can search for the right made up crap to formally present as evidence because they make up the facts through the use of predictive modeling crap. I am having another Post Traumatic Fraud Seizure...

A significant portion of the proceeds raised at the gala will remain in the region, where the funds will be utilized for educational programs in secondary schools. 

This is code for Detroit Children's Fund where they probably invested in some of those Detroit Land Bank Authority properties so they could run merrily through the streets of Detroit, creating and flipping those fake ass TARP mortgages because it is in partnership with USC and University of Michigan, just like how the Emergency Manager Law of Jones Day was implemented after it was generated out of those fake ass Public Private Partnerships like with Kevyn Orr and the PriceWaterHouse USC School of Public Policy that utilized that Archdiocese of Detroit model to go a-stealin' the children, land & vote.....I got some serious boos boos I am putting on my special "honey do" list.

Steven Spielberg, founder of USC Shoah Foundation and chairman of the Ambassadors gala said, "Working with Bill Ford and Ford Motor Company to further explore ways to share the work of the Institute with the people of Michigan is a wonderful opportunity. Reaching people when they're young is the key to changing the world with testimony. IWitness and its ability to deliver tolerance education to the Detroit region gives me great hope that together we can affect significant change. The commitment of Bill Ford and Ford Motor Company to support new approaches to learning, to provide scholarships, and to help deserving students attain higher education, makes him a great ambassador, and I am proud to recognize him for his efforts."

Behold, the trafficking of tiny humans, straight out Detroit.

FUN FACT! THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS UNDER A FEDERAL COLLABORATIVE INVESTIGATION PERTAINING TO THESE AFOREMENTIONED ACTIVITIES

"The USC Shoah Foundation stands as an enormous point of pride for USC, and has seen its efforts advanced greatly through the support of individuals and organizations that recognize its value as a truly transformational tool for education. Mr. Ford is a visionary leader who understands the contribution that USC Shoah Foundation makes to the world, and we are honored to recognize him for his corporate citizenry and leadership," said University of Southern California President C. L. Max Nikias.

"I am so pleased that USC Shoah Foundation will be joining forces with Ford Motor Company and the local Detroit community to explore new ways to utilize IWitness as an educational tool, and endeavor to reach a growing number of educators and students across the Detroit region," said USC Shoah Foundation Executive Director Stephen D. Smith.

The USC Shoah Foundation’s Visual History Archive allows users to search through and view the 51,537 video testimonies of survivors and witnesses of genocide currently available in the Archive that were conducted in 61 countries and 39 languages. Initially a repository of Holocaust testimony, the Visual History Archive has expanded to include testimonies from the 1937 Nanjing Massacre in China and the 1994 Rwandan Tutsi Genocide.



Now, meet Tracy Connors, of whom there is scant information about, which leads me to question the content of her character and her allodial attachment to a land.


Tracy may not know this, but she just entered her testimony into the public record on the history of the Civil Rights movement in the United States with the Black Panthers Foundation, which is now called the Dr. Huey P. Newton Foundation, and its journey to Cuba and back, which just so happens to have had its parental rights to keep and bear the arms of the United States, terminated, just like the Shoah Corporate Shape Shifter.

And, on that note, I need to take a personal moment because Peter impugned my intelligence, which is never a very wise thing to do, which is why he sucks, and so does Tracy, until she can disprove my claims, under oath, in bondage of her body and spirit, because the cases of USC, et al trafficking tiny humans Trust Funds are already in SCOTUS, where we are going all out, old school, full maternal. 

This is not a Youtube nor Hollywood production, this is about the resurrection for the messiah cometh.


The moral of the story is, "Do not be mean to my Sweetie. Period."

The Pastoral Plays Of Jorge: Pope Francis Summons The Souls For The Resurrection Of Final Judgement

Summoning the souls for the resurrection
of final judgement
Am I the only one who noticed the Pontifical Guard by each side of Jorge?

Jorge is summoning the souls through ancient mechanisms of Law & Order.

Consider prayers as legal petitions to the Highest Order because the lower orders, more intuitively recognized as "The Elected Ones" have been fucking up so you have to go snitch on the shit they have been doing to show that they need to have their arses snatched out those seats, to be tried in Mother Court of the jurisdiction district of where a grand jury has the right to vote on how to handle these vile creatures who have breached their oath of office and holders of the children's trust, the posterity of society.

Jorge is performing ancient acts of theurgy in summoning the souls for the resurrection, a legal act of final judgment in the form of due process called reparations for the act of terminating the parental right to keep and bear the arms of the United States, by and through the act of false claims, more intuitively understood as propaganda.

To be made whole is an obligation when the request has been made by the prayers of the extraordinary writs.

This is hot because removing a public official from office based upon lies is called blasphemy, a crime of the highest order of law.

Some know this as ethics, where there does exist due process because this from the ancients, meaning it is global.

The Pastoral Plays Of Jorge: Vatican Tales Of Stealin' The Children, Land & Vote - Angelo Beccui, Cecilia Marogna, George Pell & The IOR


The Vatican is the legal authority over the seals of the heavens, granted through the legal transfer of one's voice, in the public square, where one takes an oath of office.

That is why we have separation of church and state, it is just an oversight mechanism of checks and balances that has been bleachbitted from our histories and institutions.

Jorge is also letting the world know that the heavens are about to fall, where there shall be many who will be praying for their lives, for there shall be no more secrets...

Meet The Perfidious Sister Dede Byrne & Her Trafficking Tiny Humans Lab Rat RNC Convention Speech - Of Parental Rights & The Archdiocese Of Detroit Indelible Seal Situation

Little Workers of the Sacred Hearts - Haiti
For those of you who are starting to understand the concept of property ownership, you can see, here, in the desperate attempt of Sister Dede Byrne, to stop the heavens from falling.

In chrisitanity, one is born into debt, which is a sin, because a tiny human cannot own property, and must repay that debt by giving oneself over to god, but think of it more in terms of signing over all rights to your intellectual property, name, Social Security Number, inheritances, or heirlooms, because they have maintained a society for you to either grow up to make the church more money or, must pay for your keep as an indigent, because they run the human services, including R&D.

Just ask the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, or the Vatican's Prolife Children's Trust Fund.

Children and land are fungible under property law.

It seems Little Workers of the Sacred Hearts have never, ever filed to keep and bear the arms of the United States, only because there are no instruments of authority filed with the IRS, nor state grants to bear arms to engage in commerce.

When you control the children & land, you own the vote, under the seal, which is not a U.S. seal, called gerrymandering, under the fealty to a foreign indelible seal.

Praise the lord.

Now, let us take a few moments to watch her speech on why modern day human trafficking is the work of the lord for tiny human lab rats are needed to continue medical research for all humans.

Hey, If Jesus died for the sins of humanity, then, "The Poors" (always said with clinched teeth) should let their tiny humans be lab rats.

You know, like letting your kids die as human research test subjects for your drugs so Team Jesus can keep funding political campaigns, to keep on procuring those R&D tiny human lab rat experiments, to keep the coffers of their children's trust funds full, because they are going broke, very, very fast.


"Is she related to Patrick Byrne?"

So, what is an indelible seal?

According to Pope Francis:
The Indelible Seal

At the General Audience the Pontiff speaks of Baptism
Through Baptism "we are reborn as children of God for ever!". Pope Francis emphasized this key concept to the faithful who had gathered in Saint Peter's Square for the General Audience on Wednesday, 9 May [2018]. Continuing the series of catecheses dedicated to the sacrament of Christian initiation, the Pontiff spoke about the central rite of "the holy immersion" accompanied by the invocation of the Holy Trinity. The following is a translation of the Pontiff's reflection, which he shared in Italian.
Dear Brothers and Sisters, Good morning!
 
The catechesis on the Sacrament of Baptism leads us to speak today about the holy immersion accompanied by the invocation of the Holy Trinity, that is, the central rite, which actually “baptizes” — that is, immerses — one in the Paschal Mystery of Christ (cf.Catechism of the Catholic Church, n. 1239). Saint Paul recalls the significance of this rite to the Christians of Rome, first asking: “Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?”, and then responding: “We were buried [...] with him by baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead [...], we too might walk in newness of life” (Rom 6:4). Baptism opens for us the door to a life of resurrection, not to a worldly life. A life according to Jesus.
The baptismal font is the place in which one experiences the Easter Passover with Christ! The old man, with his “deceitful lusts” is buried (cf. Eph 4:22), so that a new creature may be born; truly the old things have passed away and new things are born (cf. 2 Cor 5:17). The “Catechetical Lectures” attributed to Saint Cyril of Jerusalem thus explain to the newly baptized what has happened to them in the water of Baptism. This is Saint Cyril’s beautiful explanation: “And at the self-same moment you were both dying and being born; and that Water of salvation was at once your grave and your mother” (n. 20, On the Mysteries, ii, 4-6; pg 33, 1079-1082). The rebirth of the new man requires that the man corrupted by sin be reduced to dust. The images of the tomb and of the maternal womb referring to the font, indeed, clearly express what great things come about through the simple rite of Baptism. I like the inscription found on the ancient Roman Lateran Baptistry, which reads, in Latin, this expression attributed to Pope Sixtus III: “Mother Church conceives her offspring by the breath of God, and bears them virginally in this water. Hope for the Kingdom of Heaven, you who are reborn in this font”.1 It is beautiful: the Church that bears us, the Church which is womb, is our mother through Baptism.
 
If our parents have generated us in earthly life, the Church has regenerated us to eternal life in Baptism. We have become children in her Son Jesus (cf. Rom 8:15; Gal 4:5-7). Upon each one of us too, born anew through the water and through the Holy Spirit, the heavenly Father makes his voice resonate with infinite love, saying “You are my beloved son” (cf. Mt 3:17). This paternal voice, imperceptible to the ear but well audible to the heart of those who believe, accompanies us throughout our life, never abandoning us. Throughout our life the Father tells us: “You are my beloved son; you are my beloved daughter”. God loves us so much, as a Father, and never forsakes us. It is so from the moment of Baptism. We are reborn as children of God for ever! Indeed, Baptism is not repeated, because it imprints an indelible spiritual seal: “No sin can erase this mark, even if sin prevents Baptism from bearing the fruits of salvation” (ccc, n. 1272). 
The seal of Baptism is never lost! “Father, but if a person becomes an infamous brigand, who kills people, who inflicts injustice, does the seal not disappear?”. No. To his own shame a child of God is the person who does these things; but the seal does not go away. And he continues to be a child of God, who opposes God; but God never disowns his children. Do you understand this last point? God never disowns his children. Shall we all repeat it together? “God never disowns his children”. A little louder, because either I am hearing impaired or I did not understand: [they repeat, louder] “God never disowns his children”. There, that was better. 
Incorporated in Christ through Baptism, the baptized are thus conformed to him, “the first-born son among many brethren” (Rom 8:29). Through the action of the Holy Spirit, Baptism purifies, sanctifies, justifies, to form in Christ, of many, one single body (1 Cor 6:11, 12, 13). The crismal anointing “signifies the royal priesthood of the baptized and enrollment into the company of the people of God” (Rite of Baptism for Children, n. 18:3). Hence the priest anoints the head of every baptized person with the sacred chrism after pronouncing these words which explain the significance: God himself “anoints you with the chrism of salvation, so that, united with his people, you may remain for ever a member of Christ who is Priest, Prophet, and King” (ibid., n. 62). Brothers and sisters, here lies the entire Christian vocation: to live united to Christ in the holy Church, participants in the same consecration in order to carry out the same mission, in this world, bearing fruits that endure for ever. Enlivened by the One Spirit, in fact, the whole People of God participates in the offices of Jesus Christ, “Priest, Prophet and King”, and “bears the responsibilities for mission and service that flow from them”. (ccc, nn. 783-386). 
What does it mean to participate in the royal and prophetic priesthood of Christ? It means making of oneself an offering acceptable to God (cf. Rom 12:1), bearing witness to him through a life of faith and charity (cf. Lumen Gentium, n. 12), placing it at the service of others, after the example of the Lord Jesus (cf. Mt 20:25-28; Jn 13:13-17). Thank you.

Editor's note: The original version of this story included baptisms in a list of affected sacraments. However, baptisms performed by the Rev. Matthew Hood remain valid as baptisms can be performed by anyone, not just priests. The story has been corrected.

A Dearborn priest has learned his baptism was invalid after a notice from the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith that baptisms using specific language were unacceptable.

Father Matthew Hood, of the Archdiocese of Detroit assigned to the Divine Child Parish in Dearborn, learned he was not a baptized Catholic on Aug. 6 after watching a family video of his baptism. He found the deacon, Deacon Mark Springer, used improper language.

In the note from the Vatican, if particular words were changed, then the baptisms were not valid — two words specifically: We and I.  To say, “We baptize you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” inaccurately portrays the sacrament of baptism. Instead, ministers must "allow Jesus to speak through them," by saying, "I baptize you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”

“It is the duty of the local Church to ensure that everyone entrusted into her care has the full benefit and certainty that come from the valid reception of the sacraments, which have been given to us to keep us as secure as possible on the path to heaven," Archbishop Allen Vigneron said in a release. "On behalf of our local Church, I am deeply sorry that this human error has resulted in disruption to the sacramental lives of some members of the faithful. I will take every step necessary to remedy the situation for everyone impacted."

For those who received sacraments like marriage and confessions from Hood, pastors will be directing an outreach to find solutions to any situations that may have been affected. Affected parishes include St. Anastasia, where Springer was assigned, and the Church of the Divine Child, where Hood has served since 2017. Parishioners who received sacraments at St. Lawrence in Utica, where Hood was newly assigned this summer, may also be affected.

Baptisms performed by Hood are valid, however, as baptisms can be performed by anyone, not just priests. Those who received baptisms from him do not have to seek remediation from other priests.

“One of my first concerns when I found out was about everyone this affects. As a priest, I want to be able to reach out to them and tell them this is something that’s very strange and probably painful, but I’ve gone through this as well, and I want to help you to remediate this problem so we can be certain you’ve received the grace of the sacraments,” Hood said in a release. “It’s a grace to realize that God is not a liar. Any experience of the sacraments, even if they were celebrated invalidly, God was still present, and God still honors that. God doesn’t repent of our desire for Him and this call that He’s given to us to follow Him and be faithful to Him."

Hood contacted the Archdiocese after realizing his baptism was invalid and was able to fix his situation. He received valid Sacraments of Christian Initiation, spent time on retreat, then he received the Sacraments of Holy Orders. Hood was then ordained a transitional deacon before receiving priestly ordination Monday evening.
