PLAINTIFF’S RESPONSE AFFIDAVIT IN OPPOSITION TO THE MOTION TO
DISMISS THE COMPLAINT AS TO FEDERAL DEFENDANTS AND SECRETARIES
IN OFFICIAL CAPACITY AND INDIVIDUALLY
STATE OF NEW YORK )
) ss.:
COUNTY OF KINGS )
Accordingly, I, Christopher –Earl: Strunk, being duly sworn, depose and say:
1. Affiant / Plaintiff Christopher-Earl: Strunk in esse, (Affiant, Strunk) hereby responds in
opposition to the motion to dismiss the complaint as a matter of law by Defendants United States
Department of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Secretary of the United States Department of
State, United States Department of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, Secretary of the United
States Department of Homeland Security, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Robert Mueller,
Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("Federal Defendants") represented by
CHANNING D. PHILLIPS acting United States Attorney for Washington District of Columbia
and Assistant U.S. Attorneys RUDOLPH CONTRERAS and WYNNE P. KELLY.
2. That outrageously CHANNING D. PHILLIPS acting United States Attorney by his
agents alleges Affirmant has somehow filed a vexatious and frivolous case as if “ a grand

conspiracy in which the Society of Jesus, a religious order of the Roman Catholic Church,
controls the nation”; and to wit Affirmant strenuously denies the wrongful devious
characterization meant to deconstruct the underlying facts to Plaintiff's injury and associated
history that supports the need for a declaratory judgment and writ of Federal Defendants to act in
their fiduciary capacity and or absent such thereby must facilitate Plaintiff with 18 USC §1964(c)
to recover damages incurred after the Quo Warranto Inquest is done by this Court..
3. That upon hearing the facts on the injury to Plaintiff(s) in esse (living being) here in New
York, along with those similarly situated, and as recognized by the New York State Legislature
as Plaintiff jus tertii represents any standing as an aggrieved State Citizens(1)
, and also as a
United States Citizen(s) resident in Washington District of Columbia as a (fictional) corporate
entity(ies) that as Government contractor(s) by way of each entity registration and bonding with
Plaintiff’s actual birth certificate whose bond is on file at the Department of Commerce and used
as an article trade by Defendants against Plaintiff’s in esse rights protected by New York law.
4. That Affirmant in esse makes a special appearance herein without waiver of any
sovereignty as the Trustee and a benefactor of his corporate bond as CHRISTOPHER EARL
STRUNK questionably held in Washington District of Columbia otherwise against his wishes as
an article of trade in commerce under the Uniform Commercial Code, against New York Law
and having damaged Plaintiff in esse in excess of One Million Dollars.
5. Affirmant as a matter of law cites the prima facie facts that show malfeasance of the
Defendant New York Province of the Society of Jesus, its agents and members (New York
1 Citizens: "The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain
duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives or
indigenes are those born in the country of parents who are citizens. Society not being able to
subsist and to perpetuate itself but by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow
the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights." -US Supreme Court Chief JusticeJohn Marshall in The Venus (1812) case.

Province) with Federal Defendants’ breech of fiduciary duty to enforce the Logan Act as to the
New York Province along with those similarly situated the twelve provinces and its members
who have taken a vow and extreme oath to a foreign sovereign the Black Pope who is the
confessor priest to the Prince of the Vatican Pope Benedict XVI.
6. That as a matter of law the New York Civil Rights Law Chapter 6 Article 5A cited in the
complaint applies to the New York Province and members exceeding 19 and by preemption has
suffered non-enforcement since January 10, 1984 when after then President Ronald W. Reagan
recognized the Sovereignty of the Vatican State for the first time and started the exchange of
diplomats thereby triggering the necessity to enforce the provisions of 18 USC §953 Logan Act
and related law in its entirety referenced by the Vienna Convention set of treaties, and having
become a Federal Matter on January 10, 1984 conflicts with Affirmant’s 9th and 10th Amendment
right to his pursuit of happiness and well being here in New York as a Corporate Citizen here
when Federal Defendants breach their duty.
7. That although the various Jesuit religious schools (i.e. Fordham University) are now
secular and that the Jesuits Administration by and large has been replaced by a secular
administration, but nevertheless, the Jesuits as exclusive agents of the Vatican State lecture and
interfere in the internal affairs of New York, the United States and with the in esse sovereigns
without the permission of the receiving State among other requirements of the provisions of the
Vienna Treaty on Consular Affairs that Plaintiff complains of as a particularized injury.
8. That Affirmant alleges based upon information and belief that individually Hillary
Rodham Clinton, Janet Napolitano, and Robert Mueller are sworn members of the Sovereign
Military Order of Malta (SMOM) that is a Sovereign State under the control of the Jesuit General
Nicolas (a.k.a. Black Pope), and that each Defendant individual has a dual allegiance in conflict

with the fiduciary duty incumbent upon the corporate Secretary or director of the respective
Defendant Department.
9. That Hillary Rodham Clinton, Janet Napolitano, and Robert Mueller as members of the
SMOM are acting to consolidate the FBI with the DHS into what can only be characterized as
the dictatorial arm of an international commission star chamber setup as the fiat new
“Government” associated with the Cap and Trade Treaty facilitated by Hillary Rodham Clinton
pending signature in Copenhagen by the Usurper (Barack Hussein Obama, a.k.a Barry Soetoro)
for passage by the U.S. Senate in conjunction with Phase III described in U.S. D.O.S. Publication
7277; and that Individual Defendant SMOM members are acting to commit treason against the
national Sovereignty of the People of the United States and Citizens of New York and
Plaintiff(s) in esse, and the Defendant Departments are riddled with foreign agents especially the
SMOM and members under the Jesuit General to our detriment.
10. Affiant contends that Defendant Department of State is controlled by the Jesuit General
whose SMOM and St. John Knights united under Rome with singular allegiance to the Vatican’s
Black Pope and have full access and reign over US DOS and other departments as the current
secretaries in charge connote. Affiant confirmed the allegation by a St. John Knight and interim
Director of the P-2 Lodge of Monte Carlo. Leo Lyon Zagami, who although Leo “spoke out of
turn” and his agenda went off track, the contrite Leo returned to Rome stated to me on SKYPE:
[7/2/2009 3:47:44 PM] Christopher-Earl Strunk: Heard you have been in Japan. When
you went to the SMOM at the US DOS last year how close to the top were they and
under Hillary how much sway do they have over her now?
[7/2/2009 3:50:35 PM] Christopher-Earl Strunk: Correction: when you went to the USDOS last year you went to meet with the SMOM. Were they a[t] ease in speaking with
you?[7/2/2009 3:52:22 PM] Leo Lyon Zagami: I am a member of the Knights of Malta the
Order of Saint john of Jerusalem no[t] the SMOM
[7/2/2009 3:52:33 PM] Leo Lyon Zagami: but I have good relations with them[7/2/2009 3:52:59 PM] Leo Lyon Zagami: we are very diplomatic and we are gentlemen
first of all.

11. That Hillary Rodham Clinton, Janet Napolitano, and Robert Mueller as members of the
SMOM and or individually are collaborating with the New York Province and other eleven
Provinces to facilitate the activities of the New York Province and other provinces and agents
under the Jesuit General / Black Pope Control.
12. That Hillary Rodham Clinton, Janet Napolitano, and Robert Mueller as members of the
SMOM and or individually may not be represented by the United States Attorney General and or
CHANNING D. PHILLIPS acting United States Attorney for Washington District of Columbia
and Assistant U.S. Attorneys RUDOLPH CONTRERAS and WYNNE P. KELLY.
13. That all Jesuits live by their constitution and have taken vows similar to marriage vows
(see from the NYSJ website that five more novice Jesuits took vows at Exhibit A); and is part of
the multi-level oath of their secret extreme oath exposed in the Congressional record, see
Exhibit B, that for good reason is secret being against public policy as a blood oath binding each
affiant till death to carry forward the Inquisition against schismatics, obstinate heretics and
heretics, the oaths are not on file with New York.
14. That Affiant alleges Defendants are infringing upon his actual suffrage and first
amendment and guarantee of a republican form of government rights, and that by my expert
Witness testimony of Eric-Jon: Phelps in esse will show and includes in the copy of the Affidavit
(see Exhibit C) that:
“That on or about January 10, 1984 President Reagan, by Executive Order, recognized the
Vatican as a sovereign political state exchanging diplomats thereby laying the legal groundwork
for the signing of a treaty―a Concordat―with Rome, as did Roman Catholic, Jesuit-advised,
Knight of Malta-backed military dictators Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini and Francisco Franco;
That as a result of said Executive Order issued by President Reagan (having chosen at least six
Knights of Malta to conduct his administration), the Society of Jesus is acting in concert serving a
foreign sovereign (the Pope of Rome) ruling a sovereign state, (Vatican City)―exclusive of all
other considerations―intending to submit the American peoples to a socialist-communist or
socialist-fascist military dictator secretly loyal to the “Vicar of Christ;”
That the Jesuit Provincial of the New York Province for the Society of Jesus, David Ciancimino,

manages and oversees the centralized wealth and economic power of the American Empire
through his control of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York City (which houses over 600,000
gold bricks), JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, etc., as well as Wall Street, the Stock Market
and the Securities and Exchange Commission first headed by Knight of Malta Joseph P.
Kennedy, the foremost short-seller of stock in 1929 precipitating the Stock Market Crash and
Great Depression;
The absolute power of the Jesuit Order over Pope Benedict XVI’s thirteen American Roman
Cardinal Archbishops includes the former president of Fordham University, CFR member and
Professed Jesuit priest under extreme oath of the fourth vow Joseph A. O’Hare. The immediate
foot soldiers of the American Cardinals include Knights of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta
(CFR member and President Regan’s Secretary of State, Alexander M. Haig, Jr., whose brother,
Francis Haig, is a powerful Jesuit priest under extreme oath of the fourth vow; CFR member and
President Reagan’s National Security Advisor, Richard V. Allen; etc.); the Knights of St. Gregory
(CFR member and Fox News mogul Rupert Murdoch, etc.); the Knights of Columbus (CFR-
affiliated House Majority Leader John Boehner, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, etc.) and
Opus Dei (CFR-affiliated Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, former Director of the FBI
Louis Freeh, convicted American spy for the Russian KGB/SVR, FBI counterintelligence officer
Robert Philip Hanssen, etc.); “
15. That Affiant alleges that Individual Defendants Hillary Rodham Clinton, Janet
Napolitano, and Robert Mueller as SMOM members act along with Andrew Cuomo the New
York Attorney General and Lorraine A. Cortez-Vazquez the New York Secretary of State among
others yet named in a conspiracy with NYSJ Defendants to interfere with Affiant’s suffrage and
speech rights along with those similarly situated liberty to have a republican form of government
free from interference by the Jesuits as agents of the Vatican State, and with state action as
defined under 42 USC §1985(3) with 42 USC §1986 neglect by the State of the provisions of
New York Civil Rights law Chapter 6 Article 5A and the Vienna Convention treaties.
16. In effect of non-enforcement, the New York Province of the Society of Jesus and its
members interference activities including the members of the SMOM under the Jesuit General
Control all are in effect of non-enforcement of law Federal Agents questionably “permanently
embedded” into New York State Government.
17. That Catholic Governor David Paterson in violation of the Vienna Convention treaties is
under the direct control of the NYSJ Defendants directly by his chief of staff exposed as a

member of the NYSJ Defendant entity and according to Minnesota Catholic Governor Jesse
Ventura there are Federal agents questionably “ permanently embedded ” into New York State
Government under the control of Defendants Hillary Rodham Clinton, Janet Napolitano, Robert
Mueller, and SMOM member Leon Panetta and other yet named;
18. That Plaintiff(s) reserves the sovereign right to know who are the Federal agents
questionably “permanently embedded” into New York State Government as a matter guaranteed
by his 9th and 10th Amendment rights; and furthermore, as a matter of Civil RICO with 18 USC
§1964(c) has the jurisdiction and sovereign right of removal of any judicial or other Federal
officer, resident and acting solely within the limits of New York, may be impeached by a vote of
two-thirds of both branches of the New York State Legislature and removed from New York.
19. Notwithstanding whether or not the Logan Act has ever been implemented Affiant has
standing to sue with 18 USC §1964(c) as a Private Attorney General or otherwise, and whether
or not New York Province Defendants’ Counsel infers that somehow Logan is dead-letter,
which the Logan Act it is not; that Affiant Strunk has a righteous cause of action herein because
beyond the fact that Defendants Provincial and NYSJ and or its membership are not protected
under the NYS Beneficial Orders Lawand as such must comply with the filing requirements of
the New York State Civil Rights Statute Chapter 6 Article 5-A are a New York Corporate entity
must comply with local laws, more importantly there was a jackpot condition setup on January
10, 1984 when then President Reagan (for whatever reason) recognized the Vatican State and
Holy See as a Sovereign entity with treaties impacting such act, began the exchange of diplomats
activating the terms of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations (1963) (see a highlighted
copy Exhibit D), and the related Law of Treaties of 1969 and the Vienna Convention on
Diplomatic Relations of 1961, in that the NYSJ Defendants along with those similarly situated
with oath of allegiance to the Vatican State are violating the following provision of the Vienna

20. That Affiant has an Original Proceeding 09-5322-OP in the District of Columbia Circuit
for a writ of mandamus under FRAP Rule 21 for an Order of the United States District Court for
the District of Columbia to Recuse the district Judge in 08-cv-2234, 09-cv-1249 09-cv-1295 with
investigation of District Clerk’s Office with 28 U.S.C. §455 and related law in its entirety; and
the 09-5322-OP package was served previously apart from this response to Defendants’ Counsel.
21. That since this case was filed Affiant received as a matter of courtesy a copy of document
filed in the case Barnett et al. v Obama et al CDCA 09: 09-cv-000082 before the District Judge
Honorable David O. Carter there for verification both of the Divorce action between Stanley
Ann Dunham Obama and Barack Hussein Obama Sr. in 1964 (see Exhibit E) and the copy of
the actual birth certificate of Barack Hussein Obama Jr. born at Coastal General Hospital in
Mombasa Kenya on August 4, 1961 (see Exhibit F).
22. That as of October 20, 2009 Affiant received a pdf photocopy of the actual delayed filing
record done with HRS 338-17.8 on file with the Department of Health in Hawaii for the Kenya
birth notice filed by Madeline Dunham (see Exhibit G) that needs verification by this Court.

Strunk v. The NEW YORK PROVINCE OF THE SOCIETY OF JESUS et al. DCD 09-cv-1249

23. That as a matter supplemental to above paragraphs 7 through 12, the cause of action
related to enforcement of the Logan Act involves the issue of facts that: (i) I duly fired Barack
Hussein Obama, a.k.a. Barry Soetoro, (the Usurper) on January 22, 2009, (ii) demand a Quo
Warranto inquest on his authority to serve with proper eligibility, with my verified complaint
before this Court in the Case Strunk v. US DOS et al. DCD 08-cv-2234: (iii) Usurper’s acts are
void ab initio until that inquest is heard, and moreover in that Usurper not only has dual
allegiance at birth with a British Parent, (iv) it appears Usurper was actually born in Kenya,
thereby is not even an indigenous born citizen, and further (v) then triggers need to investigate
the allegation that when Usurper was adopted as an Indonesian citizen under the name Barry
Soetoro, He did not even properly file for naturalization when he returned to Hawaii to live with
his Grandmother.
24. Such prima facie evidence marks a drastic increase of harm severity and injury to
Plaintiff(s) and means when the Usurper is not even properly naturalized his actions are those of
a tourist at best over staying a visa, and an agent of a foreign power not registered under the
Logan Act, also covered with the Vienna Convention treaties in their entirety, as foreign national
also means Usurper may not be charged with treason per se or even impeached for that matter.
25. That on September 20, 2009 the Washington Post reported (see Exhibit H) a fact, that
was then confirmed by Affiant that the Usurper outrageously interfered with the internal affairs
of New York, threatened Governor Paterson to step aside for the benefit of SMOM member
Rudolf Giuliani and Jesuit Temporal Coadjutor Andrew Cuomo in coordination with the
Defendant New York Province and its agents in particular to circumvent the provisions of the

Mortmain Doctrine (2)
on perpetuities with strawmen and interlocking corporate directorships to
maintain perpetual control of real property for Vatican Power as further violation of the Vienna
Convention and Logan Act.
26. With the use of 18 USC 1964(c) comes the duty for providing detail normally missing in
complaints demanding writs for non-enforcement of specific laws, as by design Civil RICO
crosses a tremendous domain of civil and criminal activity requiring the connecting of dots with
patterns of interlocking activity and facilitation normally unseen but necessary for any private
litigant, and as I will do in part provide herein until given permission to amend the complaint in
consolidation with the Census and Quo warranto inquest demand regarding the enterprise’s
fraudster Usurper that otherwise clueless judiciary appears as the deer in the headlights.
27. On October 7, 2009, Affiant in order to ascertain and verify the facts in the matter of
actual naturalized citizenship that requires a lift of stay for further discovery before this court,
2 Mortmain is a legal term that means ownership of real estate by a corporation or legal
institution that can be transferred or sold in perpetuity, usually in the context of its prohibition.
Historically, the land owner usually would be the religious office of a church; today, insofar asmortmain prohibitions against perpetual ownership still exist, it refers most often to modern
companies and charitable trusts. The term "mortmain" is derived from medieval French (mort
main), literally meaning "dead hand." In addition, as the land was held in perpetuity, it would
never escheat or pass by inheritance (and no feudal incidents or taxes would be payable upon it).
Although statutes prohibiting mortmain have been abolished in most countries today, the
principle still subsists to a certain extent in relation to trust law in the form of the rule against
perpetuities.
Mortmain played an important part in legal history, and earlier case law often needs to be
considered against this background. For example, the judicial decision in Thornton v Howe
[3]
held that a trust for publishing the writings of Joanna Southcott[4] was charitable being for the
"advancement of religion." This decision is often held up as setting the bar extremely low indetermining whether a charity is for the advancement of religion, but if one considers that at the
time the statutes against mortmain were in force, and that the effect of the decision was that the
trust was void, rather than imbuing it with special privileges in relation to taxation, it puts a very
different spin on the ratio decidendi.

being complex litigation (100 cases nationally) for both comity and economy of schedule with
permission to intervene as a complex litigation matter with 28 USC §1407 before the Honorable
David O. Carter (see Exhibit I), that court response and verification remains pending, but
Affiant is granted permission to file by Judge Leon on October 21, 2009 for obtaining CACD
discovery for the Quo Warranto herein the Washington District of Columbia where it belongs.
28. As to the Government’s contention that this Court lacks jurisdiction alleging Plaintiff has
not provided a preponderance of the evidence for standing per se, Affiant strenuously disagrees,
notwithstanding the use of 18 USC §1964(c), in that the matter of the Usurper’s Quo Warranto
takes precedence over such claims based upon the facts so-far presented and in that Usurper acts
to date in conspiracy with Defendants herein along with those yet named forming an enterprise
defined with the RICO Act as evidence sufficient to meet what U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice
John Marshall held on Court jurisdiction when he wrote in Cohens v. Virginia 19 US 264 (1821):
" It is most true that this Court will not take jurisdiction if it should not: but it is equally
true, that it must take jurisdiction if it should. The judiciary cannot, as the legislature
may, avoid a measure because it approaches the confines of the constitution. We cannot
pass it by because it is doubtful. With whatever doubts, with whatever difficulties, a case
may be attended, we must decide it, if it be brought before us. We have no more right todecline the exercise of jurisdiction which is given, than to usurp that which is not given.
The one or the other would be treason to the constitution. Questions may occur which we
would gladly avoid; but we cannot avoid them. All we can do is, to exercise our best
judgment, and conscientiously to perform our duty. In doing this, on the present
occasion, we find this tribunal invested with appellate jurisdiction in all cases arising
under the constitution and laws of the United States. We find no exception to this grant,
and we cannot insert one."
29. In March of this year the Russian news service Pravda issued a curious dire warning to
Plaintiff and the People of New York regarding “Carbon Communism” (see Exhibit J) stated:
Any effort by any government to impose carbon rationing with preferential treatment to
any class of people should be seen as sufficient reason for an all-out French-style
revolution in which the majority population dispossess the elitists of their wealth, their
positions of power, and their privilege.

30. That as a matter confirming the dire warning is the matter of combining the enforcement
arm of both the DHS and FBI under the Carbon Treaty pending to be signed by the Usurper in
Copenhagen imposed over Plaintiff and the People of New York without substantive due process
overlaps the activities of Jesuit temporal coadjutor and private citizen William J. Clinton whose
Global Initiative’s corporate headquarters (3) is housed in Charley Rangel’s Congressional
District in Harlem on previously State owned property that the Department of Real Property
Services by slight of hand sold for one dollar to Jesuit temporal coadjutor Bruce Ratner whose
Forest City is teamed up with the Russian Mafia here at Atlantic yards within ACORN
dominated State 57th
Assembly and 18th
Senate Districts whose overlapping unelected
Community Boards (Brooklyn has 18 Boards setup under Federal oversight of each with say
140000 persons) are under Jesuit controlled temporal Coadjutors and are given the advantage of
gerrymandered district by pre-selecting votes for real property speculation and land use.
31. That verification of evidence requested of that Court shows that the Usurper, Defendant
Individuals under Civil RICO includes Nancy Pelosi (4) both Clintons and many others as the
3 Clinton Global Initiative - Commitments to Action include, “a unique feature of CGI
membership, translate practical goals into meaningful and measurable results. Throughout theyear and at the Annual Meeting, CGI acts as a marketplace for a diverse community of
changemakers to develop commitments that fit their core business and philanthropic goals. .. are
new, specific, and measurable initiatives undertaken by CGI members. Varying in size andduration, commitments can focus on diverse issues, regions, and types of activities. For example,
members may develop a new business model that generates social, environmental, or economic
value; initiate, scale up, or refocus a service or business project; or provide financial or in-kind
support to an organization of their choice. Many commitments are the result of new and diverse
partnerships across sectors, with members combining efforts to expand the impact of new ideas.After making a commitment, members report to CGI on progress made over time.”http://www.clintonglobalinitiative.org/
4 Nancy Pelosi is from the Jesuit stronghold of San Francisco in the Republic of California
whose Bank of America since 1850 directed the Republic of California incorporation into the
Union as the 31st State on September 9, 1850 as part of the 1850 Compromise complex package
of five bills, passed in September 1850, defusing a four-year confrontation between the slavestates of the South and the free states of the North that arose from expectation of territorial

continue control of New York to the detriment of Plaintiff proprietary property rights along with
those similarly situated, who are singled out as heretics and injured by the pattern of abuse by the
enterprise whose benefactors upon investigation use false billing of the treasury and falsification
of documents as defined under law but not limited to the follows Federal statutes:
18 USC §1028 (a)(1)(4)(7)(c)(1)(2)(3)(d)(1)(f)- (fraud and related activity inconnection with identification documents)
18 USC §1324 (a) (1) (A) (iii.) (iv.) (Harboring illegal aliens)

32. That on 28 August 2008 Nancy Pelosi maliciously affirmed and filed her affidavit
placing the Usurper by fiat onto all the State ballots in 2008 at the Federal Elections, and in
which matter Affiant has an on-going suit against Andrew Cuomo the New York Attorney
General and Lorraine A. Cortez-Vazquez the New York Secretary of State among others for
breach of fiduciary duty and State “Little” RICO before the Honorable Justice David I Schmidt
of the State of New York Supreme Court in the County of Kings and who by the way of
economy of his Court calendar urged Affiant to file the FOIA case 08-cv-2234; and that Justice

33. That Nancy Pelosi committed an act of treason by aiding and abetting the predicate goals
of the enterprise for the consolidation of temporal power by “Sowing the Seeds of Global
Government: The Vatican’s Quest for a World Political Authority” over Plaintiff(s) along with
those heretics similarly situated in New York (see the recent report by Carl Teichrib, a Canadian-
based researcher and the editor of Forcing Change (www.forcingchange.org) Exhibit K),
maliciously filed a false statement with intent to facilitate a coup tat on 28 August 2008 to
misrepresent and lull those State officials with a fiduciary duty over elections intentionally
committed perjury by affirming that the Usurper is “legally qualified to serve under the
provision of the United States Constitution.” (see Exhibit L) , and then knowing it a lie for the
purposes of misdirection then produced another affidavit without the “legally qualified”
affirmation for public filing (see Exhibit M).
34. The enterprise in furtherance of the Vatican State Global consolidation of power issued
the Nobel Prize to the Usurper as explained in an article entitled “Vatican Backs Obama's Global
Agenda” by Cliff Kincaid on October 12, 2009 in America's Survival, Inc. -
http://www.usasurival.org/ (see Exhibit N), and of whom Affiant will seek Kincaid and
Teichrib as expert witness testimony at trial as with Eric-Jon Phelps.
35. That the enterprise is in violation of the Logan Act and Vienna Convention Treaties with
intention to further deny Plaintiff(s)’s liberty and a republican form of government in New York
and nationwide with a Global Tax as explained briefly in an article entitled “Progressives Back
Obama in Push for Trillion Dollar Global Tax” by Cliff Kincaid on October 6, 2009 in
America's Survival, Inc. - http://www.usasurival.org/ (see Exhibit O), as Defendants conspire to
impose and would ensue were the Usurper not restrained from signing such treaty while
attending the Copenhagen Carbon Tax Treaty conference by this Court, the result would be

and companion ratifications would be grounds for my secession as our New York right at birth.
36. Affiant training as a geographer and an upper air observer in the U.S. Air Force’s Air
Weather Service, also chasing Tornadoes with 6th Weather Squadron, was in association with
observers at Cheyenne Mountain Colorado who forecast solar activity and counted sunspots
effect upon weather patterns; with more certainty than 99% of the population Affiant is certain
that global warming is a hoax and coup tat that includes the sinister Al Gore’s promotion by the
Vatican just to impose the Carbon Tax Treaty to be signed by the Usurper at Copenhagen in
December 2009; and that to do so further drives a wedge into racial harmony in the USA and the
majority race into the arms of a strongman military dictator in the mold of a General Patreaus
either by a 1934 style SMOM overthrow or Organization for Security and Co-operation in
Europe’s Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR), use of election fraud.
37. In furtherance of the strongman scenario on October 14, 2009, the Jesuit General’s
SMOM member Lord Christopher Monckton (5), a noted climate change skeptic, gave a
presentation at Bethel University in St. Paul, MN. In this 4 minute excerpt from his speech
5 Lord Monckton served as a policy adviser to Margaret Thatcher. He has repeatedly challenged
Al Gore to a debate to which Gore has refused. Monckton sued to stop Gore's film "AnInconvenient Truth" from being shown in British schools due to its inaccuracies. The judge
found in-favor of Monckton, ordering 9 serious errors in the film to be corrected. Lord Monckton
travels internationally in an attempt to educating the public about the myth of global warming. Monckton is a member of both the Pope's & the British Queen's branches of the old
Knights Hospitaler: the SMOM Knights of Malta (as a Knight of Honour & Devotion) &
the Knights of St John respectively. He is also a former editor of the British Roman Catholic
newspaper the Universe, is a present member of the Roman Catholic Mass Media Commission &was a policy advisor Margaret Thatcher during her reign as Prime Minister. Thatcher herself
later became a Dame of the Duke of Castro's Royal Order of Francis I, the lay Catholic sister
order to the Franco-Neapolitan branch of the Constantinian Order, which along with the SMOMis one of the Pope's two religious military orders. Their Grand Prior is Jesuit Cardinal Vanhoye.
Not only that, but Monckton's father was also a SMOM Knight of Malta (as a Bailiff with
the Grand Cross of Obedience) & the Knights of St John. He was also a member of the
Constantinian Order ( Bailiff Knight Grand Cross of Justice) & the Royal Order of Francis
I (Knight Grand Cross). His widow (Christopher Monckton's mother) is a Dame of Malta.

I , ow in the presence of Almighty God, the blessed VirginMary, he blessed St. John the Baptist, the Holy Apostles, St. Peter and St. Paul,-and A1 the saints, sacred host of Heaven, and to you, my Ghostly Father, thesuperior general of the Society of Jesus, founded by s t . gnatius Loyola, in thepontification of Paul the Third, and continued to the present, do by the womb ofthe V i he matrix of God, and the rod of Jesus Christ, declare and swear thatHis Holiness, the Pope, is Christ's Vice-Regent and is the true and only head of theCatholic or Universal Church throughout the earth; and that by the virtue of thekeys of binding and loosing given to His Holiness by my Saviour, Jesus Christ, hehath power to depose heretical Kings, Princes, States, Commonwealths, andGovernments, and they may be safely destroyed. Therefore to the utmost of mypower I will defend this doctrine and His Holiness's right and custom against all

Jesuit Order in the California case Kronzer Foundation v. Caritas of
Birmingham in the Superior Court of San Mateo County, Case No. CLJ
425608. See attached affidavit submitted in that case.
8. That Affirmant believes as a factual matter based upon Canon and related
law as well as press releases and private periodicals:
a. That the Society of Jesus has re-gained its death grip over the
papacy since no later than October, 1836, in which year it secured a
papal Brief by which Pope Gregory XVI gave himself and his
church over to the diabolical rule of the Order;

the Jesuit-directed and controlled First Vatican Council, 1870, the
“Father General” now unfettered in his rule over the Pope’s Vatican
Empire by commanding the movements of one man;

granted to the Order prior to its suppression , extorted the Bull
Dolemus inter alia from Pope Leo XIII in 1880 by first poisoning
and then providing the antidote after the Pope signed that Bull
further entrenching Jesuit tyranny over the Vatican;
d. That according to the Code of Canon Law, the Pope must have a
Jesuit for his immediate confessor, the Jesuit General being fully
apprised of all secret designs and counsels of the “Vicar of Christ”
and his Roman Curia lest a covert movement to suppress the
Society be crowned with success as in the case of Pope Clement
XIV’s Bull of suppression and extinction of the Society in 1773;
e. That the Society of Jesus “tempers the Chair of St. Peter with
assassination,” should any Pope disobey clear commands of his
Jesuit confessor and advisors as in the case of Pope John Paul I;
f. That in upholding the Pope’s universal temporal power in his
fanatical quest to rule all nations, the Company of Jesus, exercising

houses over 600,000 gold bricks), JPMorgan Chase, Bank of
America, etc., as well as Wall Street, the Stock Market and the
Securities and Exchange Commission first headed by Knight of
Malta Joseph P. Kennedy, the foremost short-seller of stock in 1929
precipitating the Stock Market Crash and Great Depression;
j. That on or about January 10, 1984 President Reagan, by Executive
Order, recognized the Vatican as a sovereign political state

signing of a treaty―a Concordat―with Rome, as did Roman
Catholic, Jesuit-advised, Knight of Malta-backed military dictators
Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini and Francisco Franco;
k. That as a result of said Executive Order issued by President Reagan
(having chosen at least six Knights of Malta to conduct his
administration), the Society of Jesus is acting in concert serving a
foreign sovereign (the Pope of Rome) ruling a sovereign state,
(Vatican City)―exclusive of all other considerations―intending to
submit the American peoples to a socialist-communist or socialist-
fascist military dictator secretly loyal to the “Vicar of Christ;”
9. That Georgetown University is within the jurisdiction of the Maryland
Province of the Society of Jesus, its Provincial having authority over
Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey, North Carolina,
Virginia, West Virginia and Washington, D.C., enveloping government
service in the Departments of State, Justice, Homeland Security and other
agencies manned by papal knights politically loyal to the Pope of Rome;

exercise of consular functions by a diplomatic mission.

receiving State, consular officers who are nationals of or permanently resident in the receiving State
shall enjoy only immunity from jurisdiction and personal inviolability in respect of official acts
performed in the exercise of their functions, and the privileges provided in paragraph 3 of article 44. So
far as these consular officers are concerned, the receiving State shall likewise be bound by the obligation
laid down in article 42. If criminal proceedings are instituted against such a consular officer, the
proceedings shall, except when he is under arrest or detention, be conducted in a manner which willhamper the exercise of consular functions as little as possible.

consular post and those members of the private staff who are themselves nationals of or permanently
resident in the receiving State shall likewise enjoy facilities, privileges and immunities only insofar as
these are granted to them by the receiving State. The receiving State shall, however, exercise its
jurisdiction over those persons in such a way as not to hinder unduly the performance of the functions of
the consular post.
Article 72
Non-discrimination
1.In the application of the provisions of the present Convention the receiving State shall not
discriminate as between States.
2.However, discrimination shall not be regarded as taking place:

because of a restrictive application of that provision to its consular posts in the sending State;
(b) where by custom or agreement States extend to each other more favourable treatment than is
required by the provisions of the present Convention.

Carbon Communism

I hink that the C02caused Global Warming theory is blse and unproven unk science.
But let's suppose for a moment that the C02 equals Global Warming equation is real. The wealthy elitistsJames Hansen, Al Gore, Tony Blair, Barack Obama, and the other high-profile cheerleaders for C02reduction are asking the poor and middle classes to suffer the consequences of a radical shutdown ofglobal commerce and energy production in order to 'save the planet' from Global Warming. They want tomake serfs of the masses of working people, while a privileged elite will be permitted to continue living inhigh style with a much larger 'carbon footprint' than the un-entitled lower classes.
We should never let that happen. The only way that 'carbon rationing' should be allowed is by assigningthe exact same carbon limit to all people everywhere. Al Gore, Barack Obama, a London cabbie, and aKalahari Bushman should all be assigned exactly the same number of 'carbon credits', period. Let them
trade their credits with each other, but everyone should be restricted to the same limited 'carbon credit'allowance. The long-term ultimate effect of this would be an economic leveling of society; essentiallyglobal Communism. Under such a system, no one would be able to accumulate an excess of personalproperty or wealth because they could never accumulate enough 'carbon credits' to do so.
When Hansen, Gore, Blair, and Obama give up their patrician incomes and lifestyles and restrict theirown 'carbon footprint' to the levelof the common labourer or office worker, Iwill begin to believe that theyare sincere about preventing Global Warming. Their obvious unwillingness to do what they are askingthe rest of us to do proves that they are not sincere. They want the common people to sacrifice their livesto prevent Global Warming, while the wealthy retain their high-carbon consuming and producingprivileges.
We cannot permit a privileged elite to enjoy a 'highcarbon' lifestyle while the poor are restricted by law toa 'low-carbon' lifestyle. Any effort by any government to impose carbon rationing with preferential
treatment to any class of people should be seen as sufficient reason for an all-out French-style revolutionin which the majority population dispossess the elitists of their wealth, their positions of power, and theirprivilege. In a world that is constantly threatened by Global Warming, we cannot allow a greedy few toconsume or produce in excess of the average 'carbon footprint' of the world's population as a whole.
Barack Obama keeps the temperature at 78 degrees Fahrenheit in the Oval Office while telling the restof us to turn our thermostats down. James Hansen has received grants amounting to hundreds ofthousands of dollars to promote the Global Warming theory. A1 Gore has invested heavily in the 'carbontrading' brokerage business. All of these men jet around the world, live in oversized houses, and ride inlimousines. If the common people are to be required by law to reduce our 'carbon footprint', we need todemand that our leaders and the wealthy elite be restricted to exactly the same carbon allowance aseveryone else.
We are not all together in the fight against Global Warming unless everyone is required to make the
same sacrifices by sharing an equal 'carbon footprint' and an equal 'carbon ration', which should beassigned equally to every living person in the entire world. We need to hold the elitists' feet to the fire andrequire them to make exactly the same sacrifices as the rest of humanity.
Individual carbon limits and carbon rationing? Bring them on. Viva la Revolucion!

This report, Sowing the Seeds of Global Government:
The Vatican’s Quest for a World Political Authority, explainshow the Roman Catholic Church has taken a prominent rolein the unfolding plan to establish a world government.
Researcher Carl Teichrib examines how and why:
The Vatican is fully engaged in what former Vatican-insider and author Malachi Martin described in his bookThe Keys of This Blood as a battle for control over anemerging world government.
Pope Benedict, the leader of 1.2 billion Catholics,
endorsed a "World Political Authority," a form of worldgovernment, in his recent encyclical “Caritas inVeritate.”
This world authority, in the Vatican view, is supposed to“manage the economy,” bring about “timelydisarmament,” and ensure “food security and peace.”
In practice, the Vatican plan means expanding thepower and authority of such global institutions as theBank for International Settlements, the InternationalMonetary Fund, the United Nations, and the WorldTrade Organization.
Despite the hope that “subsidiarity” or local control canbe incorporated into this emerging world system, apossible or even likely result is global tyranny.

Introduction
By Carl Teichrib*
“Most of us are not competitors… We are the stakes. For the competition
is about who will establish the first one-world system of government... Noone can be exempted from its effects. No sector of our lives will remainuntouched.”i – Malachi Martin.
In 1990, a former Vatican-insider claimed that a titanic struggle wasbeing waged to bring about a world political system. This contest, the nowdeceased Jesuit explained, was primarily between three players: internationalLeninism, transnational business elites, and the hand of the Vatican.
Almost twenty years have passed since Malachi Martin drew attention tothis three-way quest. At the time his assertions seemed over-the-top. Granted,
the idea of a world government via communism wasn’t new as decades of ColdWar posturing still played in our minds. And the writing was on the wall in respectto the growing power of international corporate and financial elites, exemplifiedby the likes of David Rockefeller and the Trilateral Commission.
But the Vatican?
For many, the belief that the Holy See was pursing a vision of worldgovernment was simply too much. After all, this ancient hub of RomanCatholicism had a reputation – especially among Europe’s agnostic youth – asan institution of old men, steeped in tradition, procession and ceremony. Nevermind that the history of the Continent, more often than not, revolved around theVatican’s political prowess.
In the summer of 2009, the Holy See’s political cards were revealedin a major papal document. Harkening back to Malachi Martin’s talk ofworld government, the most powerful religious office on the planet hadpromoted a world political authority to manage the global economy. Foodsecurity, disarmament, and peace would follow suit.
A sound global economy and world peace are noble sounding goals, to besure. But the danger lurks in that the seeds of tyranny are often buried in the soilof good intentions.

On July 7th, Pope Benedict released his new encyclical titled Caritas in Veritate , or “Charity in Truth.” Two years in the making, this document wasdisclosed on the eve of the G8 Summit in Italy and the Pope’s meeting with USPresident Barack Obama. Some 30,000 words long, this encyclical outlined thePope’s concerns regarding globalization and economics, corporate ethics, and
the role of the Catholic Church in promoting social doctrine.
Commenting on the encyclical, The New York Times noted that,“sometimes Benedict sounds like an old-school European socialist…”ii And The San Francisco Chronicle explained that,
“Caritas in Veritate addresses very modern issues such asglobalization, market economy, hedge funds, outsourcing, and alternativeenergy, calling for people to put aside greed and let their consciencesguide them in economic and environmental decisions. Many of the ideasput forward would likely rankle conservatives…”iii
E.J. Dionne, a columnist for The Washington Post , gushed that Benedictis “well to Obama’s left on economics.”iv
While Pope Benedict’s perspective on the global economy was aperplexing blend of free-market and social welfare ideals, what raisedeyebrows were his thoughts on international politics. In section 67 ofCaritas in Veritate , the Pope dropped an ideological bombshell – a worldauthority to “manage the economy,” bring about “timely disarmament,”and ensure “food security and peace.”
Here is a major part of section 67. The reference to a “world politicalauthority” is very clear, and Pope Benedict explains that this international agencyshould be given the power of enforcement... “real teeth.”
“In the face of the unrelenting growth of global interdependence,there is a strongly felt need, even in the midst of a global recession, for areform of the United Nations Organization, and likewise of economicinstitutions and international finance, so that the concept of the family ofnations can acquire real teeth. One also senses the urgent need to findinnovative ways of implementing the principle of the responsibility toprotect and of giving poorer nations an effective voice in shared decision-making. This seems necessary in order to arrive at a political, juridical andeconomic order which can increase and give direction to internationalcooperation for the development of all peoples in solidarity. To managethe global economy; to revive economies hit by the crisis; to avoid anydeterioration of the present crisis and the greater imbalances that wouldresult; to bring about integral and timely disarmament, food security andpeace; to guarantee the protection of the environment and to regulatemigration: for all this, there is urgent need of a true world political

authority. Essentially, where issues can be dealt with at the local ornational level, let them be handled in this domain. And where issues areglobal and cannot be adequately addressed at a lower level, then a worldauthority is necessary.
Pope Benedict also suggested that subsidiarity could be a safety valuethat checks the power of a universal government against taking on tyrannicaltraits. But to propose that subsidiarity is a counter to tyranny is unconvincing – itcan’t even check the expansion of over-government today.
John Laughland, author of The Tainted Source: The Undemocratic Origins of the European Idea , noted that, “…the German constitution has becomeincreasingly centralised as a result of its subsidiarity clause.” The EuropeanUnion also incorporates this concept, yet that hasn’t stopped the EU fromcentralizing political power and amassing a super-bloated bureaucracy.Subsidiarity, according to Laughland, is a model that assumes a “unitarian,
pyramidal hierarchy of executive functions” with a decidedly corporatist doctrine.
vi
Subsidiarity can even be found in the UN system. Professor Robert Araujoexplains that, “the principle of subsidiarity is recognized as a fundamentalprinciple of the United Nations Organization.”vii Here, the concept is centered onself-determination under article 1, paragraph 2 of the UN Charter . Yet thisdoesn’t stop the UN from seeking empowered international jurisdiction under thebanner of “reform.”
It’s important to note that subsidiarity does allow for grassroots decision-making and self-direction, but it’s within the context of a broader perspective.Professor Araujo explains that it’s a “a concept synthesizing the interests of theindividual with those of the community.” Hence, it’s not difficult to see how thisprinciple can align itself with a world authority – you can pursue local politicaldirection, but where local involvement ends then other levels of government stepup for the “common good.”
To say that Pope Benedict opposes world government because he evokedsubsidiarity misses the point: subsidiarity plays a functioning role in a hierarchy ofincreasing political powers. What paragraph 57 demonstrates is not an aversionto world government, but the order of decision-making Benedict believes itshould be based upon.
Reform And World Authority
Paragraph 67 of Caritas in Veritate is overtly political in nature. Here’s abreakdown of some key points.
“Reform the United Nations” – UN reform centers on more than just“voting changes” or “transparency.” Rather, reform is connected to world
8/14/2019 Strunk Affidavit in Opposition to US MTD DCD 09-Cv-1249 w Exhibits 102309
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/strunk-affidavit-in-opposition-to-us-mtd-dcd-09-cv-1249-w-exhibits-102309 82/102
taxation, a global enforcement component, and the creation of an internationalparliament. A small mountain of reports and documents that support this versionof reform already exist, supported by the United Nations, national governments,and pro-UN groups such as the World Federalist Movement and the Club ofRome.viii In fact, this platform of international taxation, enforcement, and a world
parliament were major discussion points at the UN Millennium Forum – particularly during the sessions hosted by the working group on “Strengtheningand Democratizing the United Nations.”ix
Cliff Kincaid, the President of America’s Survival, Inc. and editor ofAccuracy in Media , noted the linkages between reform and global governance insection 67 of the papal text.
“…the ‘reform’ of the U.N. is designed to strengthen it. Hence, theU.N. is clearly destined, from the Vatican point of view, to become theWorld Political Authority.”x
“Responsibility to protect” – Known as R2P, this is a world federalistideal that would give the UN a mandate to intervene domestically when a nationcommits human rights violations. It sounds good on the surface, but critics – andeven some advocates – realize that such a mandate may open Pandora’s Box.
José E. Alvarez, President of the American Society of International Law,recognized this situation while addressing a conference on international law atThe Hague in 2007. R2P, he suggested, could be used as a pretext to engage inall sorts of questionable, interventionist actions.xi
Nobody in their right mind wishes for any people group to experiencegenocide or gross injustices. R2P, however, is a seriously flawed concept thathas the potential for grave abuses. From a world management perspective, theRight to Protect becomes the legal justification for a world political authority to actmilitarily. The danger lurks in that the seeds of tyranny are often buried in the soilof good intentions.xii
“To manage the global economy…” – This is already being discussed
within the international community, and it’s looking like the new world financialorder will be a top-down power structure that will greatly empower existing globalinstitutions:
Bank for International Settlements – to become the global bankingregulator. The BIS is fast setting itself up as the international banking manager, abody that will oversee the world’s banks and financial system, including theregulation of international capital. An entity of this kind would be equivalent to abanker’s “king of the hill.” The Los Angeles Times wrote last year that,
“…such a system would force countries to give up a measure of

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/strunk-affidavit-in-opposition-to-us-mtd-dcd-09-cv-1249-w-exhibits-102309 83/102
national sovereignty over banks operating within their borders. It also couldlead to international bureaucrats trying to shape financial policy andpossibly taking punitive action.”xiii
International Monetary Fund – to become the world reserve currency
bank. Under this scheme, the IMF would be charged with regulating a new globalcurrency to be used in world trade, including the energy sector. Collaboratingwith the World Bank, the IMF would likewise use this new currency unit forinternational loans and debt obligations. National and regional currencies wouldstill exist, at least for the interim, but values would react and adjust according tonew global benchmarks.
World Trade Organization – becoming the global trade regulator. TheWTO would establish the rules for the trading of goods and services via aglobally organized set of standard, a process it’s currently working through.National trade policies would hereafter line up with accepted world practices. All
of this is already happening, but there’s a further link between global free tradeand a new international financial system. Richard Cooper, while advocating asingle global reserve currency, noted the following in a 1984 conferencesponsored by the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston,
“It would be logical if free [world] trade accompanied this singlecurrency regime. That would also be consistent with the collaborativepolitical spirit that would be required to establish the single currency regime.Free trade would insure one market in goods as well as in financialinstruments.”xiv
United Nations – fast becoming the global ethics and governanceagency. The UN would give moral input and political guidance to the newlymanaged world economy. In essence, this body would become the “planetaryconsciousness,” shaping consumer and political attitudes, values, and behaviors.This too is already happening. At the end of June, the UN hosted a conferencethat outlined an accepted social norm for the global economy: an Earth-centricworldview, international socialism, and a New Age vision of planetary evolution.
Remember, Benedict’s world political authority is supposed to manage theglobal economy. How will the execution of this mandate happen? Will the worldauthority operate as an umbrella to the above-mentioned groups? Can the UnitedNations reform to the point of being this global economic manager?
Caritas in Veritate gave us a glimpse into the world authority’s directives,but it didn’t give operational specifics. Has the Holy See actually fleshed out thedetails: maybe outlining the process through an internal working document? If so,it would be a very interesting read! Or, in only offering generalities, does theVatican expect other major players – such as the United Nations or WorldFederalist Movement – to hammer out the particulars? If so, where does that
8/14/2019 Strunk Affidavit in Opposition to US MTD DCD 09-Cv-1249 w Exhibits 102309
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/strunk-affidavit-in-opposition-to-us-mtd-dcd-09-cv-1249-w-exhibits-102309 84/102
place the Vatican in this world government framework? Observer? Advisor?Overseer?
A lot of perplexing questions arise, and so they should.“An authority…regulated by law” – Governments the world over areregulated by internal laws and accountability measures, yet this doesn’t stop
abuses, corruption, or even tyranny from entering the picture. The idea that aworld authority could be kept in check by a system of world law doesn’t holdwater.
“True world political authority” – This isn’t a moral or spiritual idealpropagated by the Holy See, but the vision of an actual world government. This isevident in the overall context of section 67 and in the wording itself: a “worldpolitical authority.”
No doubt the papal office desires to see a spiritual standardincorporated into this political entity, based in large part on the socialteachings of the Catholic Church. However, this in no way guarantees thata world authority will act in good will. As history bears out, the Vaticanitself is far from immune in this regard, and “holders of power” tend toamass power.
Remember the words of Lord Acton, a Catholic historian who penned thefollowing in response to the Vatican’s unquestioning authority: “Power corrupts,and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”xv
Following A Tradition
Pope Benedict’s promotion of world government didn’t happen in avacuum. Since the 1950s the Holy See has consistently moved to support anempowered United Nations and world political authority.
Pope Pius XII: On April 6, 1951, Pope Pius XII had a meeting in theVatican with the World Movement for World Federal Government – a precursor tothe World Federalist Movement. During that meeting, Pope Pius encouraged his“world government” audience to continue in this quest.
“Your movement, Gentlemen, has the task of creating an effective
political organization of the world. There is nothing more in keeping withthe traditional doctrines of the Church, or better adapted to her teachingson the rightful or unjust war, especially in the present world situation. Anorganization of this nature must, therefore, be set up…”
The Pope then explained, rightly so, that the “deadly germs ofmechanical totalitarianism” might infect this “world political organization.”
8/14/2019 Strunk Affidavit in Opposition to US MTD DCD 09-Cv-1249 w Exhibits 102309
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/strunk-affidavit-in-opposition-to-us-mtd-dcd-09-cv-1249-w-exhibits-102309 85/102
However, in noting this possibility, he reminded the attendees to pursue a morallyfirm world federalist approach. Ending his meeting, the Pope encouraged hisaudience to pursue this grand idea.
“…you have the courage to give yourself to this cause. We
congratulate you. We would express to you Our wishes for your entiresuccess and with all Our heart We will pray to God to grant you Hiswisdom and help in the performance of your task.”xvi
Pope John XXIII: In his 1963 encyclical, Pacem in Terris , Pope John XXIIIcalled for an international public authority with a “world-wide sphere of activity” todeal with global problems. This authority would be “equipped with world-widepower and adequate means for achieving the universal common good,” althoughit could not establish itself through force: “it must be set up with the consent of allnations.”
In contemplating how this system would work, John XXIII called upon theprinciple of subsidiarity, saying that this should be applied “to the relationsbetween the public authority of the world community and the public authorities ofeach political community.”
Subsidiarity here, like Benedict’s use of the term, doesn’t negate a worldauthority – it simply imposes a hierarchical structure that recognizes each level,from the bottom-to-the-top, as a key to the process.xvii
Pope Paul VI: While speaking at the United Nations in 1965, the adulationcoming from the pope was palatable. During his talk he praised the UN systemas “the obligatory path of modern civilization and world peace.”
“The edifice which you have constructed must never fall; it must beperfected, and made equal to the needs which world history will present.You mark a stage in the development of mankind, from which retreat mustnever be admitted… Advance always! ...Let unanimous trust in thisInstitution grow, let its authority increase.”
Alas, Pope Paul VI called for a world government.
“Is there anyone who does not see the necessity of coming thusprogressively to the establishment of a world authority, able to actefficaciously on the juridical and political levels?xviii
Pope John Paul II: In his 1995 speech to the UN, John Paul reflected onthe historical connections between the Vatican and the world body.
“The Holy See, in virtue of its specifically spiritual mission, whichmakes it concerned for the integral good of every human being, has
8/14/2019 Strunk Affidavit in Opposition to US MTD DCD 09-Cv-1249 w Exhibits 102309
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/strunk-affidavit-in-opposition-to-us-mtd-dcd-09-cv-1249-w-exhibits-102309 86/102
supported the ideals and goals of the United Nations Organization fromthe very beginning. Although their respective purposes and operativeapproaches are obviously different, the Church and the United Nationsconstantly find wide areas of cooperation on the basis of their commonconcern for the human family.”xix
Although Pope John Paul II butted heads with the United Nations overfamily issues, he did place enormous importance on pursuing political systems ofworld law. In 1985 he spoke to judges at the International Court of Justice, tellingthem that,
The Holy See attaches great importance to its collaboration with the United Nations Organization and the various organisms which are a vitalpart of its work. The Church's interest in the International Court of Justicegoes back to the very beginnings of this Tribunal and to the events thatwere linked to its establishment….
The Church has consistently supported the development of aninternational administration of justice and arbitration as a way of peace fully resolving conflicts and as part of the evolution of a world legal system …
Strictly speaking, the present Court is no more – but it is also noless – than an initial step towards what we hope will one day be a totally effective judicial authority in a peaceful world.xx [italics in original]
In other speeches and writings, such as his encyclical Sollicitudo rei Socialis , John Paul called for a strengthening of world law and a “greater degreeof international ordering.”xxi None of this has the same blatancy as PopeBenedict’s recommendation for a “world political authority,” but it does follow acommon political theme – enlarged and enhanced global governance.
Pope Benedict’s idea of a “world political authority” didn’t spring out of thinair. Rather, through successive papal offices stretching back to at least PiusXII,xxii the Holy See has nurtured visions of an international politic.
Influencing Princes and Paupers
The fact that a religious leader has called for a world authority isinteresting in itself, but because this emanates from the papal office, an extrameasure of attention is warranted.
We cannot overlook the influence wielded by the Holy See. The Popeis vastly different in relation to other religious figures when it comes toglobal significance. It’s true that some Protestant and evangelical leadersare consulted by political elites; and government officials often court the
8/14/2019 Strunk Affidavit in Opposition to US MTD DCD 09-Cv-1249 w Exhibits 102309
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/strunk-affidavit-in-opposition-to-us-mtd-dcd-09-cv-1249-w-exhibits-102309 87/102
heads of other religions, such as the Dalai Lama. But all of this pales to thehistorical and contemporary powers of the papal office.
For centuries the Holy See has been the centerpiece of European politicalaffairs. Its history is replete with geo-political intrigues, papal wars, and the rise
and fall of national powers. Royalty from every corner of the Continent havetraveled to Rome seeking an audience with the Pope, hoping for papal favor.Moreover, the Vatican has been a hub for banking interests, espionage, andtransnational business dealings.xxiii And today, just as in the past, Presidents andPrime Ministers bow before the Pope, seeking his counsel, and privatelydiscussing matters of great political, economic, and social importance.
Eric Frattini, the author of The Entity: Five Centuries of Secret Vatican Espionage , gives us a window into this geo-political world.
“The papacy, the supreme authority at the head of the Catholic
Church, is the oldest established institution in the world. It was the onlyinstitution to flourish during the Middle Ages, a leading actor in theRenaissance, and a protagonist in the battles of the Reformation, theCounter-Reformation, the French Revolution, the industrial era, and therise and fall of communism. For centuries, making full use of their famous‘infallibility,’ popes brought their centralized power to bear on the socialoutcomes of unfolding historical events…
…throughout history, the papacy has always displayed two faces:that of the worldwide leadership of the Catholic Church and that of one ofhe planet’s best political organizations. While the popes were blessingtheir faithful on the one hand, on the other, they were receiving foreignambassadors and heads of states and dispatching legates and nuncios onspecial missions.”xxiv
And standing behind the Pope is a worldwide following of devoutCatholics, who may not agree with world government, but who arenevertheless committed to the Roman Catholic Church – thus supportive ofthe Pontiff.
Avro Manhattan, a critic of the Holy See, correctly made the correlationbetween the Vatican’s power and it’s faithful.
“What gives the Vatican its tremendous power is not its diplomacyas such, but the fact that behind its diplomacy stands the Church, with allits manifold world-embracing activities…
…Vatican diplomacy is so influential and can exert such greatpower in the diplomatic-political field because it has at its disposal thetremendous machinery of a spiritual organization with ramifications in

every country of the planet. In other words, the Vatican, as a politicalpower, employs the Catholic Church as a religious institution to assist theattainment of its goals. These goals, in turn, are sought mainly to furtherthe spiritual interests of the Catholic Church.
…the Catholic Hierarchy automatically reacts upon thoseinnumerable religious, cultural, social, and finally political, organizationsconnected with the Catholic Church, which although tied to the Churchprimarily on religious grounds, can at given moments be made eitherdirectly or indirectly to serve political ends.”xxv
The point is this: No other religious leader on the planet holds suchpolitical and economic influence within a religious framework. Consider just thenumber of adherents that make up the backbone of the Church of Roman: In theUS, Catholics make up approximately 22% of the populace, and of the world’stotal, 17% – or about 1.14 billion people.xxvi That’s why Pope Benedict’s call for a
“world political authority” is so significant; what he says influences leaders andlaymen alike by the hundreds of millions.
If the local Baptist pastor or Mennonite preacher, with a flock of a fewdozen or a few hundred, appealed for a UN-styled “world political authority” itwouldn’t mean much beyond the pews of that particular church. The congregantswould either cheer the minister or, hopefully, challenge his assumptions. Butgenerally speaking it wouldn’t cause a ripple beyond the local community.However, when the “Holy Father” – a Catholic title that denotes more than just a“leader” – makes such a recommendation, and has the backing of earlier papalappeals, the waves of influence travel worldwide.
Conclusion
- That the Holy See has, for at least six decades, supported the quest for aglobal political structure.
- That Pope Benedict has, through his recent encyclical, explicitlysupported the idea of a world political authority; and that this world governmentshould be designed to incorporate the principle of subsidiarity. Further point: Thatsubsidiarity in a universal political structure would be akin to the slogan, “thinkglobal, act local.”
- That the influence of the Holy See upon the international community issubstantial, and that the Papacy has the backing and general support ofhundreds of millions around the world, adding “local-to-global” support for theVatican’s geo-political visions.

- That advocates for world government – such as the World FederalistMovement – will pick up on Pope Benedict’s recommendations and use it toparade the idea of world management.
- That many Roman Catholics and Catholic organizations will
subsequently endorse the proposal for a world political authority, and hencesupport various movements for global governance.
- That individuals and organizations within and outside the CatholicChurch will defend the Pope’s encyclical by seeking to spiritualize or moralize thetext, thereby attempting to soften the controversy. Yet, the Pope’s intent for aworld political authority remains.
- That a minority of Catholics will vocally oppose the Vatican’s call for UNempowerment and international government (many more will be indifferent).Ridicule may occur for those who publically speak against Benedict’s political
ideals. Expect rifts between those who oppose and those who advocate globalgovernance.
- That non-Catholic faith groups will support Pope Benedict’s encyclical.Already an evangelical response document has been issued by a group ofprofessors and national evangelical leaders. Titled, Doing the Truth in Love , thistext agrees that new forms of global authority are necessary, but that it “mustsecure increased participation, transparency and accountability, and helpstrengthen the nation state relative to the power of global finance.”xxvii Such aview is more utopian than practical, as few real incentives would compel a worldgovernment to operate this openly.
- That new alliances and networks will be formed to increase political andsocial pressure in support of world management, and that these networks willincorporate Catholic/Vatican groups, non-governmental organizations, andelements from the United Nations.
When the Holy See raises the specter of world government itshould jolt Catholics and non-Catholics alike. Even if a world politicalauthority doesn’t come to fruition, such advocacy is stunning. Here wehave the planet’s most influential religious office – itself politicallystructured as a top-down authority – promoting a top-down system ofinternational management. The perception alone is deeply troubling.
And if a world political authority does come into play, what will keep itfrom morphing into an autocratic regime? Even in this we are assuming that theglobal authority will be introduced as a limited government. The ultimatecontradiction, of course, is a toothless world authority. Without enforcement capabilities it would be little more than an advisory board. To be effective,

therefore, it must be a centralist power with clout: Anything less would bemeaningless.
But is this what the world needs to ensure global order?
Consider for a moment the last one hundred years, a century rife withexamples of “well-meaning” centralist governments – they were always wellmeaning to somebody. In the name of “peace and security” these regimescrushed domestic opponents, often liquidating their own supporters in theprocess. From Chile to China the unofficial motto, “peace is the destruction of allopposition,” was translated into action. And in the case of Nazi Germany, thegovernment rose to power through the democratic process. Sadly, in some casesthe Vatican itself held the hands of those who perpetrated such crimes, as inCroatia during the 1940s.xxviii
Does all of this mean that the Holy See supports a dictatorial world
regime? Not according to Pope Benedict’s encyclical, as he openlyrecognized the dangerous possibility of a “universal power of a tyrannicalnature.” His hope, as outlined in Caritas in Veritate , is a world politicalauthority checked by legal boundaries so as not to “infringe uponfreedom.” Government overstep would be offset by accountabilitymeasures.
A fine concept in theory, but it rests on a shaky assumption: That theworld political authority will remain content to live within prescribed limitations;satisfied to operate within tight social, economic, and political constraints. Here’sthe snag: our advanced, democratic nations – and even the Vatican – haven’tand can’t live up to this basic standard.
While Pope Benedict tries to soft-sell Catholics and national leaders onthe idea of world government, the sobering words of Lord Acton drift-in from anearly forgotten past: “Power corrupts…”

Vatican Backs Obama's
Global AgendaBy Cliff Kincaid I October 12,2009
Some pro-life Catholics are acting shocked that the Vatican warmly greeted the awarding ofthe Nobel Peace Prize to President Obama, who is pro-abortion. They don't seem tounderstand that the Vatican and Obama agree on most major international issues. This is theuntold story-how Obama and the Vatican accept major ingredients of what has been called aNew World Order.
Another untold story is how, despite a disagreement overabortion, the U.S. Catholic Bishops and the ObamaAdministration agree on major aspects of so-called health carereform.
These topics are mostly taboo in the liberal and conservativemedia. Liberal and conservative Catholics alike would prefer not
to discuss how the Catholic Church, here and abroad, functionslike a liberal/left-wing political lobby.
But the fads should not be much of a surprise.
A majority of Catholics voted for Obarna, despite the fad that his pro-abortion record was wellknown, and when he was honored at Notre Dame, the premier Catholic University in the U.S.,only about one-third of U.S. Catholic Bishops publicly objected.
The Nobel Committee's award to Obama has been viewed by many, on the left and right, as asurprise. But it makes perfect sense. The committee noted that Obama "has as Presidentcreated a new climate in international politics. Multilateral diplomacy has regained a centralposition, with emphasis on the rote that the United Nations and other international institutionscan play." All of this is true. Obama has built up the power of global institutions at the
expense of the United States.
While the Vatican statement congratulating Obama was also seen by some as a surprise, it
too makes sense. The Vatican expressed the hope that "this most important recognition will
ultimately encourage such a difficult but fundamental commitment for the future of humanity,so that it might bring the expected results."
The "expected results" are evident when one considers that Pope Benedid, the leader of 1.2billion Catholics, had endorsed a "World Political Authority," a form of wortd government, in
his recent encyclical "Caritas in Veritate." This world political authority, in the Vatican view, issupposed to "manage the economy," bring about "timely disarmament," and ensure "food,security and peace."
However, researcher Carl Teichrib points out in a new study (PDF) that some Catholic writersare reluctant to face up to the Vatican's embrace of global government.--.

On domestic matters, it is frequently reported that the Roman Catholic Bishops in the U.S.
oppose the Obama health care plan. In fact, the bishops believe that "health care is a basichuman right," which is the premise of the Obama plan and it is driving the campaign to have
the federal government take over the health care sector.
The Bishops disagree with Obama on tax-funding of abortion, but on other matters-such ashealth care for immigrants and the poor-the Bishops are to the left of the plans introduced by
Congressional Democrats.
The Bishops also agree with the Obama Administrationand Congressional Democrats on what is
euphemistically called "immigration reform." OnOctober 8, Catholic Cardinal Theodore McCarrick told
the Senate that a new bill should help bring illegalaliens "out of the shadows" and give them permanent
residency and citizenship. Such a bill figures to be oneof the next major Obama initiatives.
On the matter of a cap-and-trade energy bill, which would raise energy prices supposedly to
combat global warming, the Catholic Bishops believe that the U.S. should adopt "mitigationand adaptation" approaches that mean "shifting behavior now to adjust to the near-term
impacts of climate change." The Bishops explain that "Mitigation means cutting back on theemissions of harmful global warming pollutants and taking action to prevent further harm to
the atmosphere."
Again, this is the Obama Administration position.
The Bishops have launched a "Climate Change Justice and Health Initiative" that promotes
"legislative action," including "the transfer of such technologies and technical assistance thatmay be appropriate and helpful to developing countries in meeting the challenges of global
climate change." This, too, is accepted and being promoted by the Obama Administration.
On the controversial matter of what to do in Afghanistan, left-wing pressure is being applied
on the Obama Administration by Pax Christi, a Catholic group which insists that the U.S.military presence has "fueled the spiral of violence and further destabilized the region." It
says that the solution lies in "reducing the U.S. military footprint" and favors ending the useof air strikes and drones on terrorist targets. Its "solution" is more diplomacy and foreign aid.
On an equally serious matter, Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons, Dave Robinson, executive
director of PaxChristi USA, recently signed a letter endorsing "the administration's intent toengage Iran diplomatically..." Robinson favors more talking with Iran, not more sanctions andcertainly not military action against the fanatical regime.
What's interesting is that you find the same Catholic personnel working on domestic andforeign policy issues.
For example, the executive committee on the Pax Christinational council includes figures such as Donna Toliver Grimes,
a "Poverty Education and Outreach Manager" for the bishopswho also serves on the staff of the Catholic Campaign for
Human Development (CCHD). This is the entity that haspoured millions of dollars into ACORN and related organizations
over the years. Funding of ACORN was recently suspended
8/14/2019 Strunk Affidavit in Opposition to US MTD DCD 09-Cv-1249 w Exhibits 102309
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/strunk-affidavit-in-opposition-to-us-mtd-dcd-09-cv-1249-w-exhibits-102309 98/102
because of corruption allegations.
In an October 2 memorandum (PDF), Bishop Roger P. Morin acknowledged that the CCHD hadalso been funding several groups promoting public policy positions in violation of Catholic
moral teaching. These were groups promoting homosexual rights and abortion. Morin claimedthat the funding had been cut off.
However, Bellarmine Veritas Ministry, which uncovered the scandal, says that Morin'sresponse is unsatisfactory and "factually deficient in several areas."
In response to one of my previous columns on the Catholic connection to ACORN, a
conservative Catholic blog called CatholicCulture.org agreed with my point that some in themedia are reluctant to raise the issue because they fear being accused of having an anti-
Catholic bias. The blog said, however, that the matter must be thoroughly probed becausewhile funding for ACORN has been suspended, the ties that CCHD has to other radical groups
remain.
My column also noted evidence that Obama's community organizing days in Chicago began inan organization funded by the Catholic Church.
This has been confirmed by several sources. Obama "worked in several Catholic parishes,
supported by the Catholic Campaign for Human Development, helping to address severe joblessness and housing needs in economically disadvantaged neighborhoods of Chicago,"
noted the group calling itself Catholic Democrats. Another group, Catholics for Obama, saysthat "President Barack Obama reflects core values of Catholic Social Teaching, which informs
how we live our faith in the world."
The president of Catholic Democrats, Patrick Whelan, serves on the board of Catholics for
Obama and as co-director of Pax Christi in Massachusetts.
In the newsletter (PDF) of Pax Christi Massachusetts, Whelan writes about flying to Chicago in
May of this year, "where I attended a reunion of Catholic Priests and community activists whohired a young Barack Obama in 1985." Whelan says that Obama, in his book, Dreams from
My Father, "created a character named Marty Kaufmann, based on two real-life communityorganizers who attended this gathering on May 16, 2009."
Whelan also writes about Obama's meeting with the Pope. "Overall," he says, "it was clear
that the common ground between the US Government and the Holy See-on poverty, theenvironment, international armed conflict and peace in the Middle East-far outweighed their
differences."

Progressives Back Obama
in Push for Trillion DollarGlobal Tax
BY CLIFF KINCAID I OCTOBER 6,2009
While policymakers debate a few million dollars for ACORN and a few hundred billion dotlarsmore for health care reform, those committed to one-world government are moving aheadwith plans for a global tax that could extract trillions of dollars out of Americans' alreadydepleted IRAs and stock holdings.
One can't exclude the possibility of such a tax being slipped into a health care or cap-and-trade bill that the Congress or the public could not have time to read before passage.
Bob Davis of the Wall Street Journal deserves a journalism prize for taking the time to readthe recent communique issued by the G-20 countries meeting in Pittsburgh. He found theyhad assigned the International Monetary Fund (IMF) he job of studying how to implement aglobal tax on America and the rest of the world.
"The IMF assignment from the G-20 has been widely overlooked," Davis noted. His article ranunder the headline, "IMF Mulls Global Bank Tax."
For a history of global taxation efforts, please go to our web site
www.stovaloba~taxes.orq
The "Leader's Statement" endorsed by President Obama and released at the event declareson page 10 that "We task the IMF to prepare a report for our next meeting with regard to therange of options countries have adopted or are considering as to how the financial sectorcould make a fair and substantial contribution toward paying for any burdens associated withgovernment interventions to repair the banking system."
The term "fair and substantial contribution" is code for a global tax. Other misleading termsfor global taxes include "innovative sources of financen and "Solidarity Levies."
While the global tax would affect the savings of ordinary Americans and be passed on to
consumers,it
is being packaged by the international left and its progressive allies in the U.S.as an assault on Wall Street and the big banks.
One proposal, popular at the United Nations for decades and long-advocated by Fidel Castro,is the Tobin Tax, named after Yale University economist James Tobin. Such a tax, which couldaffect stocks, mutual funds, and pensions, could generate hundreds of billions of dollars ayear. Indeed, Steven Solomon, a former staff reporter at Forbes, says in his book, TheConfidence Gam e, that such a proposal "might net some $13 trillion a year .." because it is

based on taking a percentage of money from the trillions of dollars exchanged daily in globalfinancial markets.
Such transactions are commonplace on behalf of Americans who have stock in mutual fundsor companies that invest or operate overseas.
Meanwhile, President Obama used his recent speech to the United Nations to declare, "We
have fully embraced the Millennium Development Goals." He left unsaid what this means. Ithas been calculated that this will cost the U.S. $845 billion to meet U.N. demands for acertain percentage of Gross National Product to go for official foreign aid to the rest of theworld. Compliance with the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) was incorporated into theGlobal Poverty Act that Obama had introduced as a U.S. senator but which never passed.
A global tax of the kind envisioned in the G-20 document could help provide the revenue tofulfill Obama's promise to comply with the MDGs.
One of the leading cheerleaders for the global tax is economist Joseph Stiglitz, an Obamasupporter and former Clinton official who has been working with the Socialist InternationalCommission on Global Financial Issues. We analyzed his key behind-the-scenes role in the
June United Nations Conference on the World Financial and Economic Crisis. He was selectedas a U.N. adviser by the then-president of the U.N. General Assembly, Communist CatholicPriest Miguel D'Escoto.
Over at the Huffington Post, a voice of the Obama-supporting left, Kyle G. Brown advises thatsuch a tax is doable and that "a modest fee on every stock, every bond-in short, everyfinancial transaction" could generate $100 billion a year at a rate of just 0.5 percent. Heexplains, "That would defray health care costs, and help struggling states restore socialservices that have been axed over the past two years."
Brown is not a policy maker but rather a self-described writer and broadcast journalist at theBBC and CBC.
The progressives know that such a rate could be ratcheted up quickly, bringing in hundreds of billions or trillions of dollars.
The AFL-CIO, the giant labor federation backing Obama, has already endorsed the Tobin Tax,as has Robert Kuttner, a leading liberal thinker who serves as co-editor of The AmericanProspect and a senior fellow at Demos. This is a pro-Democratic Party think tank that stillincludes ousted Obama green jobs czar Van Jones on its board.
As reported by The Hill newspaper, Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.), chairman of the Highwaysand Transit Transportation Subcommittee, has "seized on the idea as a way to help pay for anew massive surface transportation reauthorization bill, estimated to cost $450 billion over six
years," but wants to tax oil-based derivatives rather than stock transactions. DeFazio hadpreviously introduced a House resolution to pass a Tobin Tax.
What is driving the global taxation agenda is a Marxist view that the U.S. is exploiting thepeople and natural resources of the world. According to this perspective, internationalinstitutions such as the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and even the U.N. mustbe restructured and provided with new financial resources to supervise and manage theredistribution of the world's wealth. The United States, being the leading capitalist state, hasto pay the largest price.

Their attitude was expressed at a non-governmental organization forum in Monterrey, Mexico,associated with the U.N.'s International Conference on Financing for Development, thatChristopher Columbus "invaded, destroyed and pillaged" the hemisphere and that a global taxwas necessary to pay for the damage.
In his 2001 speech to the U.N. World Conference on Racism, Castro advocated the Tobin Taxspecifically in order to generate U.S. financial reparations to the rest of the world. He
declared, "May the tax suggested by Nobel Prize Laureate James Tobin be imposed in areasonable and effective way on the current speculative operations accounting for trillions of US dollars every 24 hours, then the United Nations, which cannot go on depending onmeager, inadequate, and belated donations and charities, will have one trillion US dollarsannually to save and develop the world."
The only thing that has changed is that the U.S. now has a president who agrees with Castro,and he and his progressive backers believe that they can obtain a slice of the revenue fortheir socialist projects here as well.
