Understanding This Identification

Before we delve into the case file (expediente) that was denied to us on September 6, 2011, it is useful to define terms and get a proper understanding of state Identification. This identification (called a cedula in Costa Rica) is similar in use and effect as the social security number in the United States. This SS number was created in the 1930's as part of Roosevelt's 'New Deal.' The number was simply an identification of an individual's registration to participate in government entitlement programs. The number was a tracking number for an account with the government which had now expanded beyond its original purpose and had entered the world of commercial insurance.

This tracking number was required for the recipient to recieve the bounty of government entitlements. In many countries this number has become a universal commercial tracking number for engaging in commercial activity.

It should be well understood that this number is not mandatory, but voluntary, and understandably many people are lured into 'free' entitlements. Also understand that the need for such a system was surreptitiously compelled onto the nation in times of financial duress. We must recognize that the financial duress was promulgated by the implementation of fiat currency and private banking which manipulated volumes of money available to the nation.

In 1933, Roosevelt initiated a ban on gold as a monetary system claiming that this was the cause of the demise and collapse. Roosevelt allowed the private banks under a national reserve system to own and control the volume of money. This money (Federal Reserve Notes) became the new fiat currency and being privately owned, interest (usury) needed to be paid. These social security numbers also became tax ID numbers whereby the people were then compelled to pay the usury through a graduated income tax (established in 1917 as a provisional war tax.) The government could borrow as much as it needed for its maintenance, social programs and interest in new wars and then simply pay the interest (usury) on the volume in circulation to the private money owners.

Nations that claim the God of Israel as their moral basis protect that moral base with a constitution as Costa Rica does in article 75. This allows protection for those who do not wish to participate in comprehensive government schemes which limit personal liability. It allows for people to pledge allegiance to other kings or democracies yet protects those who do not wish to pledge new allegiances with gods foreign to that spoken of in the constitution.

Responsibility is the corner stone of freedom. When government servants insist that participation is mandatory, they have given leave of their oaths of office to remain as servants and drifted into totalitarianism. When such occurs, we Israelites (homeless soujourners for 2500 years) find our shelter in Law.

We are prohibited from receiving such entitlements or registering with foreign and alien gods to receive 'free' entitlements. Israelites are also prohibited from practicing surety for the debts that accumulate on these fiat loans which eventually bankrupt the nation whereby it falls into national captivity by commercial contracts (debt enslavement.)

The constitution and law support this philosophy. Certain people mistakenly think this means we are 'above the law.' No, in fact we can still be brought to penalty in matters both civil (commercial contracts) and criminal. However, no one may be complelled to participate in entitlement programs. Such entitlements are available, just like any other commercial insurance making a tender offer.

Roosevelt may have dealt the people a new deal, but they did not have to pick up the cards. They voluntarily accepted the new comprehensive social insurance contract.

It is also critical to understand this: We do not advocate others do as we do. I believe people should engage in what ever rainy day insurance activity makes them feel secure, so long as it does not affect me. As for us, our choices are simplified. We do not practice religion or idolatry and as such, do not re-liege or create registries with such systems because we, as Israelites, are compelled by Law to be responsible for our own selves and that of our families.

We are now testing this in court, for either the public servants intend to be subservient to their oaths in the constitution (art. 11) or not. The United Nations entry into this equation via contract is irrelevant as are their declarations. The reason is simple. The state of Costa Rica contracts with the United Nations. We have no contracts with either and article 25 prevents forced association, whatsoever.

This is why the question of jurisdiction is absolutely critical. We either gave our children to the state through registry, or we did not. The judge and all involved refuse to acknowledge our jurisdictional challenge, and as such refuse to acknowledge their oaths to the constitution. The trouble the public servants now find themselves is that their actions have adversely affected my family in a criminal manner. Not only are they in violation of the constitution, they have violated the United Nation laws that they are a tribunal to.

Who Are These Israelites Anyway?

Dr. Cerdas busied himself on July 26, 2011 when he told our neighbor that he and his cohorts were going to return, break in the gate, take our children, register them, vaccinate them and place them in public school. That is a serious threat coming from a religious ministerial sect working in coordination with another religious order, the United Nations. The United Nations is a body that countries contract with and they have some extreme anti Semitic values. Let's have a look at some of the ideals promoted by the United Nations and their various appendages. The actions of the public officials run contrary with the standards listed in the United Nations Prevention of Genocide of 1948 and Codigo Penal of Costa Rica, 127.

Dr. Cerdas' threats reinforce the fact that Dr. Cerdas intends to carry out his threats WITHOUT establishing jurisdiction over my children. This jurisdiction is established through contract which is identified by public registry.

Few people understand that when government appears to have smashed their constitutional rights, that in reality, they voluntarily entered a system whereby they waived their rights. Many wish to receive benefits from the state's varied social schemes, and for such, they must waive their constitutional rights.

Of course, my family would never interfere with other families' decisions on what they think, what they worship, what social policies they adopt, how they discipline their children, what car they drive or how they do their hair. It simply is not our business.

It does seem the business, however, of faceless bureaucrats to involve themselves lawlessly in my family's life in order to impress upon us their religious dogma called 'Humanism.' As Israelites, it is not our desire to be missionaries. Our beliefs do not require recruitment of others. The nation of Israel is a nation of people and IS NOT to be construed as the state of the star on the East coast of the Mediterranian Sea. That is a geopolitical zone established by contract under a ruse called the Balfour Declaration and has little to do with the Nation of Israel and has more to do with Zionist bankers.

Israelites are a nation of Law, not religious dogma. Religions typically require recruitment and involve commercial contracts and registration. In their inception, religions tend to be innocuous and give ephemeral releases for populations in their stressful existence in a complex world. When these programming agencies, arranged by a few elite men who suffer the same greed, fear, lust, vanity and jealousy of all men in the flesh become megalomaniac in their utopian dogmas, Law is the only recourse for Israelites to find shelter. Israelites sojourn throughout the world existing in lands of others who have also adopted the God of Israel as their foundation of Law. Costa Rica is one such nation as the constitution prescribes.

The concept of the nation of Israel is a critical understanding in the coming posts, because we must be able to discern the difference between Law and religion, morals and dogmas.

We will return to the concept of jurisdiction, artificial personas and how that affects our relationship with governing bodies under Romans 13, but for now I suggest the readers of this blog and the enemies of my nation begin by defining the following terms:

Israelite, Jew, Zionist, proselyte, semite, liege and regis. We must understand that deception is in the words and our enslavement is cast by our own hand or mouth. You may be surprised what you find in Oz. With no understanding of history, you will never know who you are. If you do not know who you are, you will never know where you are headed. It will all tie in soon.

For those who have so vengefully desecrated theLaw and, with full intent, damaged my harmless family in return for shallow gains in your ephemeral world, you will reap what you sow. Brick by brick, my friends.

Slight of Hand

As we have seen on the You Tube videos, Dr. Cerdas insists that we sign both his order as well as the receipt of it. He insisted that before we examine the order, we first sign not only the receipt of the order, but the actual order he came to deliver. We were not able to first take the order to counsel. If we had signed the order, we would have accepted the order as it was written, thus agreeing to perform what the order stated. Conversely, if we did not sign the order, it would go to the administrative tribunal under the assumption that the ministry had jurisdiction. Dr. Cerdas would state that we refused to follow their order and the process would continue.

If a law had been broken, why did Dr. Cerdas require any signatures?

The reason is that he needed jurisdictional joinder in the form of a contract to proceed with an administrative tribunal. When a crime occurs, no signatures are necessary for the prosecution to initiate an action. Only the elements of habeas corpus and mens rea are necessary to establish an action. If the matter is civil, then agreements (contracts), or breeches of such, come into question and the Plaintiff would have to provide evidence of said contracts by the power of a writ of subpoena duces tecum to establish the veracity of the claim. In the order seen here, health office, Ebais #4, states we refused vaccines.

The claim of our refusal was based on the testimony of Dra. Ana Gabriela Mora Rojas, which can be seen here.

However, we never refused vaccines. We demurred the matter of vaccine entitlements, awaiting the ministry to rebut our scriptural position on the matter, as per article 75. A demurrer is not a refusal.

We are prohibited from accepting vaccines from a scriptural health perspective. We are also prohibited from receiving other free entitlements. We are also prohibited from worshiping man made gods and their extra-curricular social redistribution schemes. We are also prohibited from engaging in surety for the debts incurred from such redistribution schemes. Article 75 of the Constitution supports those scriptural perspectives.

My application of a constitutional right cannot be converted into a crime.

Rather than proceed with reckless coercion and threats, the ministry of health parishioners could have refuted our lawful position. This respectful form of open dialogue would have supported jurisprudence and would have gone far in preserving family, health, life and liberty. Such an attempt for open dialogue would support the spirit of law. This clearly was not the purpose of these religious missionaries.

Dr. Cerdas' document orders that we present vaccination papers (that do not exist) or begin receiving mandatory entitlements (a legal oxymoron.) Dr. Cerdas insisted that we agree to the order before having counsel examine it. That is why we could only conditionally accept the order, as seen in the video. Dr. Cerdas accepted and signed our conditional acceptance as witnessed by his personal driver and police escort, as well as members of my family. However, Dr. Cerdas then refused to give us the order whereby we could take it to counsel.

Furthermore, Dr. Cerdas noted that we did not want to receive the document and, as seen in the video, counsels with his witnesses to conspire in stating that we refused the document when in fact it was Dr. Cerdas who said, "I cannot deliver this." Our wish to protect a signature by creating joinder with our conditional acceptance precludes the order from being accepted as written. Dr. Cerdas' job that day was to conscript us unconditionally, that jurisdiction may be established. This indeed was clever missionary work.

How can we produce documents that do not exist, particularly when we have explained in great detail WHY they do not exist and why we are prohibited from vaccinating our children. The ministry refuses to refute our affidavits and constructive notices with any proper modality proving errors in our lawful position.

Dr. Cerdas FAILS TO PROVE HIS JURISDICTION over my children, or refute my affidavits or constructive notices.

Let's See What These Public Servant's Have to Say

Now it is time to examine the words and writings of the 'public servants' and measure them against that which they are subservient to.

We are going to start with the innocuous and move step by step to the nefarious.

On June 27, 2011 Master Norma Fernandez, Annia Lorena Duran (PANI), accosted me at my home demanding information including vaccine records, which of course we did not have as we had explained by affidavit presented to the local health office one month earlier. Master Norma Fernandez boldly explained to us that the flag stands for 'health.'

Well, she is quite wrong about that. We can assume that she is using some sophistry that she tells ignorant people or perhaps she does not know that the flag is not this symbol:

Ministry of Health- Costa Rica

The pole with a serpent on it has many variations and differing meanings which can be seen here:

The Rod of Asclepius

Now whether Master Norma Fernandez believes in astrology or Greek Gods, she shall not place this symbol above that of the flag representing the republic and the constitution that she must serve as a public servant. Even if she believes it is a biblical symbol, she would have to recognize that the symbol was abolished, as it had become a form of idol worship.

2 Kings 18:1-7 (King James Version)

Whether she is attempting to invent law with intent to abuse a process or simply ignorant of the truth is irrelevant. Master Norma Fernandez FAILS to prove her jurisdiction over my children.

What's Wrong With These Vaccines Anyway?

Mandatory Entitlements

We can see clearly that my family's issues have drifted far from vaccines and directly into 'who owns the children.' I own the children, as possession is 9/10 of the law. The last tenth would encompass some sort of lien or encumbrance such as a contract or registry in trust. A trust requires a grantor (parents,) trustee (government or government subcontractor such as PANI,) and a beneficiary (in this case the child.) We asked the state authorities (public servants) repeatedly for evidence of such a contract, registration, trust, lien or other encumbrance that would affect our 100% ownership of our children. My wife and I constructed those children by mutual consent with the product of our DNA. Who makes a claim against that? That registration would create the 1/10 encumbrance. If public servants steal our children without the registration present, it is simply theft. We are the only people in this country that I know of who can actually make this constitutional claim because we did not sign those rights away. We have seen others who were forced to vaccinate their children simply because they had reduced their status to that of a baby sitter through registration. The state legally owns their children.

We do not follow the religious ministerial practices of blood alchemy endorsed by the ministries that these public servants worship. Therefore, regardless of the fact that we do not register to follow those bizarre religious practices, public servants including the judge believe they must confiscate our children. This is why the genocidal overtones are so prevelant. We are a cultural group all to ourselves. Do you know of anyone else in Costa Rica who practices even the first commandment? Jesus himself lamented in astonishment when he asked why the people called him Lord, but did not do what he told them. I agree with Jesus on that point and have wondered the same thing. Whether the public servant class wishes to obey Christ or not is their prerogative as given in article 75. However, public servants believing that their religion is so superior to all others, including the doctrine that governs the government, is a dangerous form of religious zealotry. It is a form of artificial intelligence, because the system (a non self referencing entity or legal artifice) begins to reprogram itself in order to become the head instead of the tail.

History is rife with such insane practices, masquerading as law, that put many people fleeing. The important thing to realize, is that the people who followed such demented practices were BELIEVERS. Mentally infected like those at a religious tele evangelism rally, these people can be made to believe ludicris things and act in irrational manners. Remember, believing in something, such as blood contamination rituals, is one thing; but to believe in it with such a fervor that the law must be broken is an indication of broken logic. The language infection has altered the programming of the public servant. The public servant is malfunctioning and acting against the prime directive. We shall soon divulge the actual writing of the court and lack of jurisprudence. Now it is critical to understand that this is why article 75 exists. Articles 75 and 25 of the Costa Rican Constitution are there in order to prevent such intellectually retarded religious crusades from infecting and adversely affecting the nation itself.

However, what about those vaccines anyway? Lets set aside the jurisdictional components that are clearly missing here and just evaluate the invasive chemicals that these religious zealots representing their ministries wish to force upon us.

What is wrong with this stuff?

Whether you are a Jew, an Isrealite, Muslim, Catholic, Protestant, Jehovah's Witness, Mormon, Adventist, Krishna, Born Again Christian or a plain old Atheist, you would likely not want these dangerous chemicals and human/animal by-products injected into YOU.

Vaccine Risk Awareness

When Terrorism Leads to Genocide

Before we get into the nuts and bolts about the complaints made by the Ministerio de Salud (Ministry of Health) and PANI (child protection agency,) which is an arm of the United Nations entity operating AUTONOMOUSLY inside Costa Rica, lets look at one of the initial principles and reasons for the creation of the United Nations. This institution was formed as a society and members contracted with it via treaty. How fascinating. This is how the UN has become the influence in your country. The UN becomes an advisory body by contract and the state carries out their dictate by virtue of domestic citizenship and residency (amongst other) contracts. But before we look at the legal jurisdiction of this legal artifice (UN), lets look at the essential text that formed it.

The Preamble is written in part by Jan Smuts, supporter of Theodor Herzl and his world government principles to eliminate national sovereignty in favor of a single force for the purpose of peace. Without belaboring the geopolitical implications of this, lets just look at the nature of Jan Smuts forked tongue, because on the surface, his work is presented in a manner that any logical mind would agree with, however under the microscope we see the seeds of something we are not suppose to be cognizant of. When establishing the spirit of any law, it is done by reading the preamble. So, I recommend that reading. Notice the emphasis on tolerance.

Charter of the United Nations

Of course, Jan Smuts, a master of propaganda during the Boer war, was speaking in tongues when be drafted the UN charter.

However, for the purpose of taking things at face value, let us look at the prime directive of PANI's creator, the United Nations. Specifically, lets have a good look at The United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. For the purpose of understanding what the court in Puriscal has done to my family, pay close attention to article 2; a, b, c, and e.

United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide

What has this got to do with the destruction of my family and our life? Well, pay real close attention because if you understand what happened in pre-war Germany, you will understand that the people persecuted were people who were not allowed to practice their religious persuation; be it Judaism, Jehovah's Witnesses and a plethora of others. The only real religion that was permitted was statism. In statism, one is compelled to follow the leadership of the various ministries therein, (Ministry of Health, Ministry of Education, etc..) The state would determine what was acceptable in regards to religious practice. When one realizes the truth, you realize government IS a form of religion by definition and etymological design of the word re-liege.

At this time the favorite flavor of idol worship is called democracy. Just as in historical societal practices of past times, the people saw their re-lieging as normal and they worshipped it as the best and most ideologically advanced theories of societal organization. Hitler was democratically elected...twice. Hitler was Time Magazine's 'Man of the Year', 1936. Why do I broach this subject? Because it is difficult for society to see the outrageousness of traditions or theories which is held as a sacred cows. It would be beneficial if we knew who was behind the thrust toward democracy. Remember, Costa Rica is a Republic, not a Democracy. A republic is where the government is chained down by preordained law. A democracy is where the majority determine the fate of the minority. Ask the Jews of Germany how their democratic model worked for them.

So what is our crime? Our crime is that we are Israelites and the Judeao Christian model laid down in the Constitution of Costa Rica is quite unacceptable to the various ministries including PANI, a sect of the United Nations. That being said, lets go back and re-examine a rather fantastic declaration. Although the entire thing must be read, pay close attention to the sub clauses of article 2. Also take note of the use of the UCC function word "contracting parties."

United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide

The concept of contracting parties will be addressed in future blog entries. We have not looked at the words and actions of the court in Puriscal, yet. Brick by brick my friends.

So What's With the Looking Glass?

"The question is," said Alice,

"Whether you can make words mean so many different things." -Lewis Carroll

Why do we examine these issues? Why is the flag and constitution important? Why is it so important to examine every word with a fine tooth comb? The answer will soon become clear to all of you, as it became clear to us. Fascism is a disease of the mind. It is an infection that is so insidious because it resides in our language. Just like a virus in your computer, it is buried in code and affects the computer's ability to function logically. We are all products of programming. Our programming is predicated upon the language imparted on to us. Our language, use of and what we believe it to actually mean is where the viral infection takes on its nefarious purpose. Be it well known that this infection is well used by the adepts and word smiths of society for the purpose of enslaving people's minds.

When I am finished peeling this onion of truth, you will be in tears. We have been terrorized by definition, and now it is time to scrutinize the language and spirit of those who have obliterated my family. This is not for the faint of heart, for the recognition of previously invisible chains may make you dizzy and nauseous.

Stay tuned, the coming work is voluminous. I will do my best to offer it up in bite size pieces that it may be examined inch by inch to identify this virus and eliminate it and recognize who cast the spell so that we may not be victimized any further by the adepts.

Take Note of the Use of Words

ARTICLE 55. The special protection of mothers and minors shall be entrusted to an autonomous institution named Patronato Nacional de la Infancia (National Infancy Foundation), with the collaboration of other State institutions.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/special

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/shall

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/autonomous

Take note of the use of the words shall and special. Who shall (can) get special (over and above the ordinary) protection?

Those who are entitled in article 51. Who are entitled? Those that meet the requirements. Who meets the requirements? Those that register. Who registers? Those that give their consent to get the entitlements and special protection.

http://www.law.yale.edu/rcw/rcw/jurisdictions/amc/costarica/frontpage.htm

Further to this link we can see the structure of authority. Costa Rica has given 100% of this 'special' protection to a self regulated commercial trust agency under the laws of the UNITED NATIONS. As such, the UN dictates over the matters involving 'registered' children. They cannot take control over those 'unregistered' or stateless children because to do so would force association with a civil entity, organization, group, club or other series of people who have decided to take such controls by force. This is the reason people must be registered. To be registered makes you special and entitled. To be forced to associate with any religious group of ministries such as the ministry of health etc. would be forced religion.

Remember, the Law here in CR is Spanish civil law, but its moral base is the Judeao Christioan principles written in the Bible and subscribed to in the constitution. Remember, any law not in accordance with the God of Israel requires consent, typically through a registry and numbering process. As tawdry and insipid as this is, these are not my beliefs, they are those of who authored those documents. I am simply observing them.

More on the United Nations and their mysterious autonomous control next time.

Consider This

I admit; I have never actually sat down and thoughtfully read any constitution before now. In the past, I have felt satisfied simply knowing they exist. But lately, I have been sitting with the Constitution of Costa Rica and realizing how straight forward it actually is. I have also learned that each word of the Constitution of Costa Rica was chosen with great care. Considering that, it is interesting to examine the words that tie bigger concepts together. Now on to James and a look at rights vs. entitlements...

Article 51 of the Constitution of Costa Rica:

ARTICLE 51: The family, as a natural element and foundation of society, is entitled to State protection. Mothers, children, the elderly and the destitute infirm are also entitled to such protection.

Conversely when an entitlement is NOT requested, that the family is protected FROM the state. Rights come from nature/entitlements come from government. Rights are inalienable, whereas entitlements are applied for. Rights do not degrade others' rights, whereas entitlements allow for economic redistribution schemes. No individual has a right to force others to pay for their health care. That is an entitlement and you are entitled to apply for such benefits.

https://giftoffreedom.wordpress.com/2011/04/05/rights-and-entitlements/

http://www.thefreemanonline.org/columns/rights-versus-entitlements/

An entitlement must be applied (meet requirements) amongst others who have registered for similar benefits and that the other entitles have agreed to support your claims and demands as an entitlement. If those who have not consented are forced by the collective to pay or support those who have claimed an entitlement, then that is equal to slavery (involuntary servitude) which no person has the right to enslave another.

Would Anybody Be Opposed to This?

That no one can force anybody into any association whatsoever.

Freedom of religion or to practice no religion at all.

That sovereignty exists within the nation (the people), not elected groups which may be lobbied for special interests.

That public servants are public SERVANTS and as such are bound to preordained law via oaths that they may not exceed their mandates.

That public servants (officials) have a duty to answer to any request even if that answer is that they are unsure and offer their supervisors as a potential next step in order to clarify and answer the request.

That foreigners may exist under the same prime protections from government as nationals.

That no such group of public servants may alter the prime directive given them.

IF YOU BELIEVE IN THE ABOVE STATED PRINCIPLES, THEN YOU CAN FAVOR THE FOLLOWING: Constitution of Costa Rica

2012

With sips of introspection and bites of comfort, memories have been tucked away. A new year begins. I offer simple words for this next bit of the journey: fortitude, accountability, freedom, love, health, contentment. Happy New Year!

Anonymous Nonsense Vs. Cold Hard Facts

The purpose of publishing all of the affidavits, constructive notices and events involving the interaction between our friends and the Ministry of Health and PANI in Puriscal, Costa Rica is strictly for the transparent documentation of facts. However, there have been several anonymous comments left to one blog post in particular which dwell on opinions, fairies in the clouds and other off point topics. Curiously, the comments focus on my own editorials and are ripe with conviction; yet no one has uttered a peep regarding the work that James has submitted to the courts and ministries. Admittedly, my writing demands very little and is much easier to attack. I do hope that thoughtful readers as well as off point, anonymous individuals are taking the time to absorb James' research and presentation of law and facts.

My objective in writing today is not to partake in virtual opinion ping pong, but to hopefully establish more facts. An anonymous commenter has claimed to be living in Costa Rica with their family and publicly choosing not to vaccinate their children or send them to public school. Still another anonymous commenter has claimed to know hundreds of families in Costa Rica who are openly foregoing vaccinations for their children and choosing to home-school. I do not understand why anyone with such valuable information would choose to publish opinions and experiences anonymously. I urge the commenters to present the laws and facts that support the claims they have made. This information may not help our friends, but would undoubtedly aid other families living in Costa Rica who are struggling with these same issues.

The suggestion that the Ministry of Health and PANI are in accordance with hundreds of families living in Costa Rica without injecting their children with mandatory vaccines contradicts the testimony of Dr. Cerdas who, in the driveway of our friends on June 30, 2011, read from the General Law Health book the exact articles which require contracted residents under the age of 15 to vaccinate and re-vaccinate. It is difficult to believe that Costa Rica is in any way disregarding its own mandates. Inside Costa Rica published an article on January 26, 2010 regarding the mandatory H1N1 vaccine for selected high risk groups in Costa Rica. According to that article:

"The vice-ministra de Salud, Ana Morice, explained that the CCSS will be compiling a list from medical records of persons that are required to be vaccinated,...The vice-ministra said that those people on the list who do not want to receive the vaccine, will be obligated to do so. "The idea is not use force, even though we have the right to go with the police to pull people from their homes and take them to a medical centre to be vaccinated", explained Morice. The mandatory vaccination is based on government decree 35703-S of the Ley General de Salud published on January 21, 2010 in the official government publication, La Gaceta."

What an eerie contemplation that you too may be obligated to be injected with a substance that you may or may not philosophically agree with and that your eligibility to be on the list is based on your personal medical records. If we ask the government to protect us, we can't cry when we don't like their approach.

I suspect that the numerous anonymous comments which suggest that our friends are only having trouble because they have not contracted with the state of Costa Rica and that it is possible to refuse that which public ministries deem mandatory and necessary is only a repeated desperate attempt to divert the focus away from the fact that not only is it impossible to refuse the mandated gifts from the State, but should you ever have trouble in Costa Rica, don't count of due process of law either.

Perhaps these numerous anonymous comments are made by individuals who have financial interests which are dependent on a positive image of Costa Rica. My opinion, your opinion and other irrelevant references to mythical creatures do not dilute the fact that our friends have not committed a crime; there is no habeas corpus. If anyone believes that our friends did harm by not soliciting social contracts with the state of Costa RIca, just ask yourself why our friends have yet to be presented with any charges against them; why, if they were not contracted with the state, it was the ministry of health and not immigration to storm our friends' sanctuary; and why due process has been completely denied to our friends?

Our friends understand and follow the laws. Without lying or cheating or doing any harm to anyone, our friends live, committed to personal responsibility so as to never add to the great burden of so many needy people who choose to contract and benefit from the generous social entitlements of a struggling, developing nation. Our friends are not jealously demanding that anyone think or live as they do. It is shortsighted to protect fragile interests by trashing victims. Why not, instead, stand tall and demand due process to prove that the product you are selling lives up the glorious image you promote? Pura Vida.

Response to article published in A.M. Costa Rica

The Table of the Steadfast

On Wednesday, November 23, 2011 an article was published on the front page of A.M. Costa Rica about Nikoline’s death and the “long-running dispute on vaccinations” between her family and government officials in Puriscal. My hope, is that anyone aware of this tragic saga will take the time to read more than just that article published in the daily English publication, or the easy introductions on my blog. My hope is that everyone will take the time to read the work that James has tirelessly researched, drafted and submitted to the ministries and courts. It is all here on this blog.

I am disheartened to see that the focus of the article in A.M. Costa Rica is on the actions and ideals of our friends. I would wish that an educated journalist writing a story about the tragic passing of a young girl, would take the time to analyze the actions of the officials who issued and carried out the order to raid our friends’ home and forced them to seek refuge at a safe distance. I am perplexed by the choice of the word, “stubborn,” to describe parents who honorably answered to each and every offer, request and order submitted to them by the representatives of the ministries who brought claims against them.

The article in A.M. Costa Rica loosely ties facts, inaccuracies and opinions together to paint a picture void of opportunity for readers to question the actions of the public servants involved in this case. The article fails to question why the home of our friends was raided. The article fails to question the jurisdiction of local health ministries over undocumented foreigners. The article goes as far as suggesting that the determined spirit of the father to battle injustice played a part in the passing of his daughter. I beg of you, readers, to remember that the only reason Nikoline was navigating unfamiliar terrain was because her family had been driven out of their sanctuary by an order from a judge; the same judge who refused to present charges to or acknowledge our friend in the flesh who had been summonsed to his chamber.

With minimal effort of traveling to Puriscal and interviewing any one of the local people, the writer of the article published in A.M. Costa Rica could have learned and shared that this family was a loved and respected part of the community; a family who “properly schooled” their children to speak three languages, understand economics, production, science, history, law, appreciate literature by authors from across the globe and spans of time, and whose children have the manners and self discipline which allowed them to sing at the National Theatre with the highly acclaimed choir of Don Carlos Luis Fallas. With minimal effort the writer could have also shared that the oldest daughters traveled to nearby schools to aid local children with their English lessons.

That this family lacked modern transportation and relied on their own horses or hired taxis is a small testament to their unyielding dedication to abide by law. Included in the constructive notice submitted to EBAIS #4 in Puriscal, and published on this blog on July 2, 2011:

“I recognize the sovereignty of the state of CR as well as the sovereignty of the God of Israel. CR article 2.”

“I am attempting to conduct myself and arrange the conduct of my family in such a way as to follow the rules of both sovereigns for the purpose of being in accordance with rules of peaceful conduct and submission to well heeled government as well as faithful servants to the God of Israel. ‘Qui jure suo utitur, nemini facit injuriam.’ Acts 5:29”

The writer of the article in A.M. Costa Rica notes that our friends made repeated inquiry to the government officials to whether they are subservient to the God of Israel. That was just one of four questions that our friends repeatedly asked.

In the constructive notice, which was published on this blog on July 2, 2011, our friends also state:

“Be it known that we have acted in accordance with all laws and attended promptly to any charge, citation or summons presented to us. In any controversy, we present ourselves voluntarily and with out prejudice; that the matter may have a swift resolution. No undue force will be required in any dealing with us. Article 37”

I have just highlighted a few of the many pertinent points made in just one of the several documents that our friends have submitted to the ministries and courts. Our friends’ defense was replied to with coercion, threats, intimidation, denial of charges, and UNDUE FORCE.

Interestingly, an anonymous comment was posted to one of my blog entries by a member of a family living as residents in Costa Rica. Included in the lengthy comment left on November 24, 2011- “Our family lives in Costa Rica. We are residents, and we also homeschool and refuse vaccinations. Not only has this been 100% okay with the Costa Rican government they are fully aware of what we are doing and have no complaints.”

In which direction will the people point fingers of blame? At the family who is diligently asserting their right and duty to practice personal responsibility and follow God’s law, or to the moody tyrants who need to be reminded that they are in fact public servants under the scrutiny of the masses?

A Letter of Appreciation

I had not expected to return to Costa Rica so soon. I am grateful that for as impossible as it seemed to jump on a plane with my girls and be with our best friends, that we were able to. My only regret, one I share with my husband, is that it was, in fact, impossible for him to be with us. You see, our family has shared an incredible journey over the last seven years with James and Birgitte and their outstanding kids. Our friendship and experiences together are beyond words.

At the memorial service for Nikoline, we were overwhelmed by a sea of familiar, loving faces. The community came together to grieve, to heal, to support the family who needed it most. Unfortunately, Nikoline's mother, father, sisters and brothers were unable to shed their defenses and let their bodies drink love and healing from the friends and family who had gathered to hold them. Even in the most intimate of circumstances, the threat of continued harm was lurking in the shadows with the uninvited. The potential that the government officials could potentially issue another lawless order could not be ignored.

What I realize, from hundreds of miles away, is that the memorial is not over. The closure is not complete. I hope that everyone reading this will understand that our friends still need that strong, healing support. They still need all of us standing beside them, holding them up. This is no time for should or ought to. This is only the time for love and solidarity. If we all stay strong and recognize that law trumps opinion then our friends, the victims of this injustice, will have a more solid bridge to cross.

Here is a letter of appreciation from Nikoline's father, first in English and then in Spanish:

To the readers of this blog, I would like at this time to offer a word of appreciation to our friends and supporters during our most difficult times. We would like to thank the following people:

Connie and Dick for courageously witnessing, providing shelter and delivering documents in the times we needed those things most, as well as taking the great care to keep Nikoline's pictures fresh in everyone's minds.

Fred and Mary for witnessing and dealing with confrontations with government and PANI officials, as well as keeping our cats and dogs fed and an eye on our house.

Sorayda, Luis Diego and their family, Lise Schafer, Gloriela and Daniel for looking after our dogs, cats and house in our hastened absence.

Gustavo Rojas for his nexus with the courts.

Rick for his information connections and bridging of financial issues.

Witnesses and supporters; Tu Anh , Athena and Eduardo for their delivering of documents and witnessing.

Lise and Asger for their continuous offer of safe housing and Lise's special trip to CR to assist where she could.

Don Carlos for his discipline and care in music classes and choir. Our family loved the presentations and practice. I considered these music classes and Don Carlos' ideals as an intergal part of our home schooling. My girls adored Don Carlos and he encouraged my girls to prepare and be at their best.

Patricia and Roberto for opening their house for us during our worst time after Nikoline's death, that the family may congregate and grieve in security and privacy. I wish to offer Pat and Bob further thanks for establishing a safe house to make plans, preparations and not be worried about lesser matters as they provided food, shelter and unlimited transportation and support.

Uncle John for watching over the children and financial support. Next time we stay up till 5:00 am John, I do hope it is under better occasion. You will always be a hero to me and my family.

Auntie Laurie, for her no nonsense approach to getting things done at any cost. Laurie is one of the few people I know of in life who has seen it all and from her experiences is the least judgmental and most pragmatic individual in my camp. That clarity and unbiased nature is refreshing and productive and kept us rolling.

Lisbeth and Svend Erik for securing my affairs in trust for my daughters and providing them a nurturing environment when I must be allowed to focus on the security of my wife and boys. All of my girls are safe with them and that provides Birgitte and myself great relief and ability to concentrate on that which matters most.

Joshua and his 'tribe' for bravely housing us fugitives and helping us find Nikoline in the river and helping us through the worst night of our lives.

Elizabeth, Steven, and Brenda, Abel and their families for their warm support and use of their vehicle while my family was in need. Elizabeth has offered ongoing assistance involving our horses and other matters. I wish to also make a special thank you to Steven for his fabulous work with our drama group. These presentations gave the children excellent public speaking skills and expressive abilities. One of my most valued memories of Nikoline is of the Scare Crow in their brilliant presentation , 'The Wizard of Oz." When I remember our Scarecrow, I will think of Steven.

My Mom and Dad (I know he is still with me,) for their unquestioning support , stable influence and as usual, financial assistance. They never questioned, they only gave, unconditionally. If I could only give back a fraction, but alas this is what Dad privately wished me to do. Never, ever cave in to bullies when so few could see them as clearly as I could. Giving in to lawless people for personal relief only makes life worse for the next generation.

Michael, Maiken, and Chris and Luisa for opening their doors to us and sheltering us in safety, privacy and security for the time needed to plan our next moves. They offered counsel, but mainly offered the chance for us to grieve our loss in privacy whilst renewing our ordnance in response to those who have so recklessly abandoned the Law.

Tulio and Amparo for their love and generosity over the years. They opened their house to us and to all our friends to meet and hold a funeral service for Nikoline. Nikoline was well honored and Tulio and Amparo's house was the perfect setting. They are the 'heart ' of Barbacoas.

Juan and Zeidy and Eliezer for their absolute support and help in dealing with authorities during the first few days after Nikoline's death. Eliezer spoke with people in Puriscal and their generosity was astounding. Juan and Zeidy were our first friends in Barbacoas and our children grew up together and we had many fiestas together. We will always have them with us.

To all of our friends and neighbors in Barbacoas and Puriscal. Our clients, taxis, pirates, street people and others who have given our life meaning and value for the past 11 years. Our children felt complete as part of the real people in society when we sold our cakes, cookies and bread, or simply riding through town in our micro family 'cavalgatta'. We will never forget you, the real people. The workers and producers, not those with letters of self importance after their names.

And I would like to extend a very special thank you. A level of appreciation rarely earned. I know that Alison will find it difficult to post this on her own blog, however she has always given me full final authority on the content and spirit of the messages. That being the case, I am exercising that privilege at this time, above her comfort. The reason is clear. For what I am about to say is true and factual just as everything else I have presented in this blog.

Let me tell you of two people who have earned the truest badges of my highest honor. Alison and Miguel's undying support has walked us through the thick and thin of our life here in CR. They serve as my closest counsel and most powerful aids d'camp. Alison's artistic genius blog puts thousands of my words into ironic clarity with her illustrations. Miguel's research , translations and ideas have proven effective ordnance in exposing that which the 'public servants' wish to remain unknown. Alison and Miguel are my right and left arms in the triumph of truth and justice. The courts may believe they have control through the repository of the collective's force. I submit that courage will outweigh the court's usurped power and with people like Alison and Miguel in our camp, we shall illustrate that the application of truth is superior and shall prevail over licentiousness, cowardice and naked force. Alison and Miguel shall always have a special seat in my inner chamber even when I am busy putting out other fires.

In closing, I wish to make an observation regarding the above mentioned people (which involves hundreds.) Not all, in fact few of these people share my geopolitical beliefs. That in itself is the great hope that keeps me believing that good wins over evil. These above mentioned people set their ideals aside to help a family in need. Thats means that they all recognize and are in favor of a great simple truth and most unalienable right. The right to one's own life. Everyone recognizes the simplicity of personal choice when those choices do not harm others. Everybody has the inalienable right to one's self and that which one creates. This action of creation includes that which we create with our own genes with our mutual partner to create another in our likeness (children.) I see in all of these people's unbiased generosity the simple recognition that we have the highest claim to that which we create, so long as our creation does not harm others or be involved in mischief. We do not force, or even suggest that others live as we do because that may nullify their choices. These above people recognize through the blur and haziness of what is construed as 'law,' the real truth and that gives me the most light to focus upon.

To those above mentioned people:

I remain in your service when and where any of you believe you are in need of my arcane and unusual work.

Humbly yours,

James

A los lectores de este blog, quisiera en este momento ofrecer unas palabras de aprecio para nuestros amigos y personas que nos han soportado durante nuestras épocas más difíciles. Quisiéramos agradecer a las siguientes personas:

Connie y Dick por valerosamente atestiguar, proporcionar el refugio y entregar documentos en los tiempos que más lo necesitamos, así como tomar el gran cuidado para mantener las imágenes de Nikoline frescas en las mentes de todos.

Fred y Mary por ser testigos y por ocuparse de las confrontaciones con los funcionarios del gobierno y los del PANI, así como cuidar por nuestros gatos y perros y su alimentación y por mantener ojo en nuestra casa.

Sorayda, Luis Diego y su familia, Lise Schafer, Gloriela y Daniel por ocuparse de nuestros perros, gatos y casa en nuestra ausencia inesperada.

Gustavo Rojas por su nexo con las cortes.

Rick por sus conexiones de información y por el enlace en cuestiones financieras.

Testigos y partidarios; Tu Anh, Athena y Eduardo por hacer entrega de documentos y por ser testigos.

Lise y Asger por su oferta continua de ofrecer la vivienda segura y por el viaje especial de Lise al Costa Rica para ayudar en cuanto ella pudo.

Don Carlos por su disciplina y cuidado en las clases de música y el coro. Nuestra familia amó las presentaciones y las prácticas. Siempre consideramos estas clases de música y los ideales de Don Carlos como una parte integral de la educación que dimos en nuestro hogar. Mis niñas adoraron a Don Carlos y él las animó a prepararse y a ser lo mejor que ellas pudieran.

Patricia y Roberto por abrir su casa a nosotros durante nuestros peores días después de la muerte de Nikoline, en donde la familia pudo juntarse y poder velar con seguridad y privacidad. Deseo extender aun mas las gracias a Pat y Bob por establecer una casa segura para hacer nuestros planes, preparaciones y por no preocuparse por materias sin importancia ya que proporcionaron comida, refugio, transporte y ayuda ilimitada.

Al tío John por vigilar los niños y por su ayuda financiera. La próxima vez que permanezcamos despiertos hasta las 5:00 de la mañana John, espero que sea bajo una mejor ocasión. Tu siempre serás un héroe para mí y para mi familia.

A la tía Laurie, por su no absurdo empeño a hacer las cosas a cualquier costo. Laurie es una de las pocas personas que conozco que en su vida con sus experiencias, lo ha visto todo y que ha sido lo menos posible crítica y la más pragmática de mi campamento. Su claridad y naturaleza imparcial fue refrescante y productiva y nos ayudo a continuar adelante.

Lisbeth y Svend Erik por asegurar mis asuntos en confianza para mis hijas y proporcionarles un ambiente consolidado mientras me era permitido enfocarme en la seguridad de mi esposa y mis niños. Todas mis niñas están seguras con ellos y esto proporciona a Birgitte y a mi un gran alivio y la capacidad de concentrarme en lo que más importa.

Joshua y su “tribu” por valerosamente contenernos siendo fugitivos y por ayudarnos a encontrar a Nikoline en el río y por apoyarnos en la peor noche de nuestras vidas.

Elizabeth, Steven, Brenda y Abel y sus familias por su calurosa ayuda y por el uso de su vehículo mientras que mi familia estaba en necesidad. Elizabeth ha ofrecido su continua ayuda en cuanto a nuestros caballos y en otras materias. Deseo también hacerle un agradecimiento especial a Steven por su fabuloso trabajo con nuestro grupo de drama. Estas presentaciones dieron a todos los niños una excelente capacidad de hablar en público y de habilidades expresivas. Una de mis mas valoradas memorias de Nikoline fue la interpretación del "espanta pájaros" en la brillante presentación, "El mago de Oz.” Cuando recuerdo a nuestro espantapájaros, pensaré en Steven.

A mi mamá y papá (sé que él todavía está conmigo,) por su ayuda incondicional, su estable influencia y como de costumbre, su ayuda económica. Ellos nunca cuestionaron, ellas solo dieron incondicionalmente. Si tan solo yo pudiera devolverles una fracción. Pero lo que mi padre en privacidad deseaba que yo hiciera fue de que nunca, nunca diera a ceder a los que te quieren empujar ya que muy pocos pueden ver a estos tan claramente como yo lo puedo. El dar a ceder a personas que actúan sin ley por solo su alivio personal, solamente hacen la vida peor para las siguientes generaciones.

A Michael, Maiken, Chris y Luisa por abrir sus puertas a nosotros y abrigarnos seguros, en privacidad y seguridad por el tiempo necesario mientras planeamos nuestros próximos pasos. Ellos nos ofrecieron consejo, pero principalmente nos ofrecieron la ocasión de poder velar nuestra pérdida en privacidad mientras que renovábamos nuestra lucha en respuesta a aquellos que han abandonado la ley tan irresponsablemente.

A Tulio y Amparo por su amor y generosidad a lo largo de los años. Abrieron su casa a nosotros y a todos nuestros amigos para hacer frente y para llevar a cabo el funeral de Nikoline. Nikoline fue bien honrada en el hogar de Tulio y de Amparo, su casa fue el lugar perfecto. Tulio y Amparo son el “corazón” de Barbacoas.

A Juan y Zeidy y Eliezer por su absoluta ayuda y soporte haciendo frente a las autoridades durante los primeros días después de la muerte de Nikoline. Eliezer habló con la gente en Puriscal cuya generosidad fue asombrosa. Juan y Zeidy fueron nuestros primeros amigos en Barbacoas y nuestros hijos crecieron juntos y tuvimos muchas fiestas juntos. Los tendremos para siempre con nosotros.

A todos nuestros amigos y vecinos en Barbacoas y Puriscal. Nuestros clientes, taxistas, piratas, gente de la calle y otros que nos dieron un significado y valor de la vida por los últimos 11 años. Nuestros hijos se sintieron completos al hacer parte de la gente real de esta sociedad cuando vendimos nuestras tortas, galletas y pan, o simplemente cuando montábamos a través de la ciudad en nuestra micro-familia “cabalgata”. Nunca les olvidaremos, la gente real. Los trabajadores y los productores, no a ésos con sus letras de presunción detras de sus nombres.

Y quisiera ampliar un agradecimiento muy especial. Un nivel de aprecio ganado raramente. Sé que Alison encontrará difícil fijar esto en su propio blog, pero no obstante ella siempre me ha dado la autoridad final y completa en el contenido y el espíritu de los mensajes. Al ser este el caso, estoy ejercitando tal privilegio en este momento, sobre su comodidad. La razón es clara. Lo que estoy a punto de decir es una verdad efectiva al igual como todo lo demás que he presentado en este blog.

Déjeme decirles de dos personas que han ganado las verdaderas insignias de mi más alto honor. La inmortal ayuda de Alison y de Miguel nos ha llevado por entre lo grueso y lo delgado de nuestras vidas aquí en Costa Rica. Ellos nos han servido como mi consejero más cercano y la ayuda mas potente del campamento. El blog artístico del genio de Alison pone millares de mis palabras en claridad irónica con sus ilustraciones. La investigación, las traducciones y las ideas de Miguel han probado ser eficaces en exponer lo que los “funcionarios” desearían que fuese desconocido. Alison y Miguel son mis brazos derechos e izquierdos en el triunfo de la verdad y de la justicia. Las cortes pueden creer que tienen control a través de su depósito de sus fuerzas colectivas. Someto que el valor sobrepasará el poder usurpado de la corte y que con personas como Alison y Miguel en nuestro campamento, podremos ilustrar que el uso y aplicacion de la verdad es superior y prevalecera sobre licencias, cobardía y la fuerza desnuda. Alison y Miguel tendrán siempre un asiento especial en mi cámara interna incluso cuando este ocupado apagando otros fuegos.

Como cierre, deseo hacer una observación con respecto a las personas mencionadas anteriormente (que implica centenares.) No todos, de hecho, muy pocas de estas personas comparten mis creencias geopolíticas. Esto en sí mismo es la gran esperanza que me guarda el creer de que lo bueno triunfara sobre mal. Estas personas mencionadas han dejado sus ideales a un lado para ayudar a una familia en necesidad. Esto significa que todos ellos reconocen y están a favor de una simple y gran verdad del derecho más inalienable. El derecha a su propia vida. Todo el mundo reconoce la simplicidad de opciones personales cuando esas opciones no hacen daño a otros. Todos tienen el derecho inalienable a su si mismo y al tal cuál el crea. Esta acción de la creación incluye la cual creamos con nuestros propios genes con nuestra pareja mutua para crear otro de nuestra semejanza (nuestros hijos.) Veo la generosidad imparcial de todas estas personas y el reconocimiento simple de que tenemos la demanda más alta a aquellos quienes creamos, siempre y cuando nuestra creación no sea daño para otros ni estén implicados en hacer maldad. Nosotros no forzamos, ni siquiera sugerimos que otros vivan como nosotros lo hacemos pues esto anularía sus opciones. Éstas personas mencionadas anteriormente a pesar de la borrosidad y nebulosidad qué se interpreta como “ley,” reconocen la verdad real, y esto me da la mayoría de la luz a la cual me puedo enfocar.

A las personas antedichas:

Permanezco a su servicio cuando y en donde alguno de ustedes crea estar necesitando de mi arcano e inusual trabajo.

Humildemente suyo,

James
