FEDERAL JUDGE STATES IN COURT THAf HE GETS HIS ORDERS FROU ENGLAND
During the trial of James and Sharon Patterson, (Case 6:97-CR-51) William Wayne Justice, Judge of the United States District Court
Texas-Eastem Division when presented with law stated:
"l take my orders from England. This is not a law this court goes by.'
For all of those who did not believe that the United States was under Great Britain here it is straight from the mouth of a Federal
Judge. How much more evidence'do you need?'America has never been Free.
The Revolutionary war was a fraud perpetrated on the American people. The wa/s purpose was to centralize power and make the
people easier to control.
All Federal Judges, Congressmen, U.S. Attorneys, State Judges, Legislators and most Attomeys know this and are in fact British
Agents.
Their job is to keep the people in line and to be productive slaves which they (The British Agents) are greatly compensated for. The
polibe do not knou, that they work for Great Britain they too have been deceived so don't attack tham.
It is time for everyone in America to know the Truth. Let us all work together in exposing the British Empire. Please re-fax and e-mail
this release to every Attdrhey, Judge, and Legislator in your area to let them know they have been unmasked. Please get out your
Yellow Pages and start fuxing everyone in your area and also read this release over every radio show possible. We have printed
thousands of evidence packages and mailed them across America that prove that the United States is a British Colony- lt is time to
send the British back to England. We must work together because if, we do not. we are all door-n6d.
Your Fridnd.

To the people,
I found this paper while going through Stephen Ames'files.l am hoping that you will put it out on your E-mail and fax networks. This
paper explains and documents very much. lt is absolutely mind blowing!
lf you place this paper on your E-mail and fax networks I will be more than happy to respond to people's questions. I have all of the
documents cited in this paper and they are available. This paper will shock even those who think that they know what has happened
and what is now taking place. The deception is incredible. lf the people do not respond to this information we can then huly say that it
is over and that we will never be ftee. This paper is not opinion, but it is fact and is all documented.
Now, what people have to realize is there are remedies for the problems that not just America faces, but the Wodd. There are people
all over the World that know what is going on and they are doing something about it.
People all over America are emerging victorious over the images in their minds. Let us not forget the absolute astonishing amount of
debt discharges that have taken place over the last few months. What is happening in America is unbelievable. People are coming out
of the delusions, they have figured and realized that the United States is a fiction and that it only exists in our minds. Tens of
thousands of people now know that the "United States" does not exist and that it never has. There is no such thing as the National
debt or a loan from the bank. Has any one ever seen "cunent credit money ?"

1997. Now, therefore Her Majesty an pursuance of section 179 (1 ) (a) and (2) of the Social Security Administration Act of 1992 and all

"This Order may be cited as the Social Security (United States of America) Order 1997 and shall come into force on 1st September

Does this give a new meaning to Federal Judge William Wayne Justice stating in court that he takes his orders from England? This
order goes on to redefine words in the Social Security Act and makes some changes in United States Law-
Remember, King George was the "Arch-Treasurer and Prince Elector of the Holy Roman Empire and c, and of the United States of
America".
See: Treaty of Peace (1738) I U.S. Statutes at Large. Great Britain which is the agent for the Pope, is in charge of the USA
'plantation.'
What people do not know is that the so called Founding Fathers and King George were working hand-n-hand to bring the people of
America to there knees, to install a Central Government over them and to bind them to a debt that could not be paid. First off you have
to understand that the UNITED STATES is a corporation and that it existed before the Revolutionary war. See Respublica v. Sweers 1
Now, you also have to realize that King George was not just the King of England, he was also the King of France. Treaty of Peace "
U.S.8 Statutes
at Large 80.
On January 22, 1 783 Congress ratified a contract for the repayment of 21 loans that the UNITED STATES had already received dating
from February 28, 1778 to July 5, 1782. Now the UNITED STATES lnc. owes the King money which is due January '1, 1788 from King
George via France. ls this not incredible the King funded both sides of the War. But there was more work that needed to be done. Now
the Articles of Confederation which was declared in force March 1 , 1781 States in Article 12 ' All bills of credit emitted, monies
bonowed,and debts contracted by, or under the authority of Congress, before the assembling of the United States, in pursuance of the
present confederation, shall be deemed and considered a charge against the United States, for payment and satisfaction whereof the
said United States, and the public faith are hereby solemnly pledged."
Now after losing the Revolutionary War, even though the War was nothing more than a move to turn the people into debtors for the
King, they were not done yet.
Now the loans were coming due and so a meeting was convened in Annapolis, Maryland, to discuss the economic instability of the
country under the Articles of Confederation. Only five States come to the meeting, but there is a call for another meeting to take place
in Philadelphia the following year with the express purpose of revising the Articles of Confederation.
On February 21,1787 Congress gave approval of the meeting to take place in Philadelphia on May 14, 1787, to revise the Ariicles of
confederation. Something had to be done about the mounting debt. Little did the people know that the so called founding fathers were
acutely going to reorganize the United States because it was Bankrupt.

You have to understand that Great Britain,(Article six Section one) the United States and the States are the parties to the Constitution
not you.
Let me try to explain. lf I buy an automobile from a man and that automobile has a wananty and the engine blows up the first day I
have it. Then I tell the man just forget about it. Then you come along and tell the man to pay me and he says no. So you take him to
courtfornotholdingupthecontract.Thecourtthensayscasedismissed.Why?Becauseyouare notapartytothecontract.You
cannot sue a government official for not adhering to a contract (Constitution) that you are not a party too. You better accept the fact
that you are a Slave. When you try to use the Constitution you are committing a CRIME known as CRIMINAL TRESPASS. Why ?
Because you are attempting to infringe on a private contract that you are not a party to. Then to make matters worse you are a debt
slave who owns no property or has any rights.
You are a mere user of your Masters property! Here are just a couple of examples:
" Marriage is a civil contract to which there are three partiesthe husband, the wife and the state." Van Koten v. Van Koten. 154 N.E.
146.
"The ultimate ownership of all property is in the State: individual so-called "ownership' is only by virtue of Govemment, i-e. law
amounting to mere user; and use must be in accordance with law and subordinate to the necessities of the State. Senate Document
No. 43 73rd Congress 1st Session. (Brown v. Welch supra) You own no Property because you are a slave. Really you are worse off
than a slave because you are also a debtor.
"The right of traffic or the transmission of property, as an absolute inalienable right, is one which has never existed since governments
were instituted, and never can exist under govemment." Wynehamer v. The People.
13 N.Y, Rep.378,48'l
Great Britain to this day collects taxes from the American people. The IRS is not an Agency of the United States Govemment-
All taxpayers have an lndividual Master File which is in code. By using IRS Publication 6209, which is over 400 pages, there is a
blocking series which shows the taxpayer the type of tax that is being paid. Most taxpayers fall under a 300-399 blocking series, which
6209 states is reserved, but by going to BMF 300-399 which is the Business Master File in 6209 prior to 1991, this was U.S.-U.K. Tax
Claims, meaning taxpayers are considered a business and involved in commerce and are held liable for taxes via a treaty between the
U.S. and the U.K., payable to the U.K. The form that is supposed to be used for this is form 8288, FIRPTA-Foreign lnvestment Real
Property Tax Account. The 8288 form is in the Law Enforcement Manual of the lRS, chapter 3. The OMB's-paper-Office of
Management and Budget, in the Department of Treasury, List of Active lnformation collections, Approved Under Paperwork Reduction
Act is where form 8288 is found under OMB number 1545-0902, which says U.S. with holding tax retum for dispositions by foreign
persons, of U.S. Form #8288,#8288a.
These codes have since been changed to read as follows: IMF 300-309, Barred Assessment, CP 55 generated valid for MFT-30,
which is the code for the 1040 form. IMF 310-399 reads the same as IMF 300-309, BM 390-399 reads U.S.-U.K. Tax Treaty Claims.
lsn't it INCREDIBLE that 1040 form is a payment of a tax to the U.K- Everybody is always looking at 26 U.S.C. for the law that makes
one liable for the so called lncome Tax but, it is not in there because it is not a Tax, it is debt collection through a private contract
called the Constitution of the United States Article Six, Section One. and various agreements. ls a cow paying an income tax when the

its labor. You own nothing that your labor has ever produced. You don't even own your labor or yourself.
Your labor is measured in current credit money. You are allowed to retain a small portion of your labor so that you can have food,
clothing shelter and most of all breed more slaves. Did you ever notice how many of the other slaves get upset if you try to retain your
labor. You are called an extremist, terrorist and sometimes even a freeman.
They say that you are anti-government. When the truth of the matter is you just don;t want to be a slave" But, you do not have the right
to force others to be ftee if they want to be a slave that is entirely up to them. lf they want bow down and worship corporations, Iet
them.
The United States, Great Britain and the Pope are not the problem, it is the other slaves. We would be free if the want-to-be-slaves
were gone. The United States, Great Britain and the Pope would not even exist, because no one would acknowledge them. I for a
matter of fact, think that those who are in power are also tired of the slaves. All the slaves do is stand around and MOO!!! For free
healthcare, free education, free housing and they beg those who are in power to disarm them I do agree that a slave should not have
access to a firearm. How can you disagree with the government passing out birth control ? I hope the breeding of slaves stops or at
the very least slows down.
You see we are cows, the IRS is company who milks the cows and the United States lnc. is the veterinarian who takes care of the
herd and Great Britain is the Owner of the farm in fee simple. The farm is held in allodium by the Pope.
Now to Rome.
"Convinced that the principles of religion contribute most powerfully to keep nations in the state of passive obedience which they owe
to their princes, the high contracting parties declare it to be their intention to sustain in their respective states, those measures which
the clergy may adopt with the aim of ameliorating their interests, so intimately connected with the preservation of the authority of the
princes; and the contracting powers join in offering their thanks to the Pope for what he has already done for them, and solicit his
constant cooperation in their views of submitting the nations." Article (3) Treaty of Yarona {1822)
lf the Sovereign Pontiff should nevertheless, insist on his law being observed he must be obeyed. Bened. XlV., De Syn. Dioec, lib, ix.,
c. vii., n. 4. Prati, 1844. Pontifical laws moreover become obligatory without being accepted or confirmed by secular rulers. Syllabus,
prop. 28, 29, 44. Hence the jus nationale,(Federal Law) or the exceptional ecclesiastical laws prevalent in the United States, may be
abolished at any time by the Sovereign Pontiff. Elements of Ecclesiastical Law. Vol. I 53-54. So could this be shown that the Pope
rules the world?
The Pope is the ultimate owner of everything in the World. See Treaty of 1213, Papal Bull of 1455 and 1492.
I could go on and on, this is just the tip of the iceberg, Don't let this information scare you because without it you cannot be free, You
have to understand that all slavery and freedom originates in the mind. When your mind allows you to accept and understand that the
United States, Great Britain and the Vatican are corporations which are nothing but fictional entities which have been placed into your
mind, you will understand that your slavery was because you believed a lie.

Mexican Governments Official Plan for a Takover of America
Thu Dec 19 18:.*:542OO2
208.152.73.38
There are approximately 18 million Mexican immigrants living in the United States today. Out of that 18 million, it is estimated that 3
million, or nearly 20 percent, are illegal aliens. Those 18 million Mexicans present a growing threat to America s self-determination
because many play a dual citizenship role officially encouraged by the Mexican government. This is no secret; it s all in
Mexim s official "National Plan of Development 2001-2006." This shocking document is a five.year plan full of political rhetoric
emphasizing planned improvements for every asped of Mexico s infrastructure, but it also lays out specific strategies for
expanding the nation s political reach far beyond the U$Mexico border. ln other words, Mexico is systematically trying to cultivate
dual loyalties, i.e. disloyalty, among its ethnic compatriots in America. This is a naked expansion of Mexim s national interest at
the expense of ours; the mystery is why we are tolerating it.
"Globalization" is the buzarvord that appears numerous times throughout Mexico s plan. To achieve that goal, the Mexican
government is counting on its citizens living abroad to strengthen Mexico s influence throughout North America. The Mexican
government is demanding that we give all Mexican illegals a free pass, and also support them with numerous social services paid for
by American taxpayers. Some of these like free medical care - we do not even provide to our own citizens. Mexico s plan
specifically outlines its intent conceming Mexican citizens who have entered the United States illegally in a subsection titled "Defense
Of Mexicans Abroad,'The plan states:
"lt is important to note that even if Mexico has achieved a number of agreements and mechanisms to ensure better treatment of our
countrymen abroad, the issue of migration, especially in the United States, needs a new focus over the long terrn to permit the
movement and residence of Mexican nationals to be safe, comfortable, legal and ordedy, and the attitude of police persecution of this
phenomenon must be abandoned and it must be perceived as a labor and social phenomenon-"
ln other words, nothing is illegal and we are not a nation of laws any more, only markets.
ln a television interview in 2000, Mexico s President Mncente Fox made his country s intentions clear conceming the balance
of power in the Westem Hemisphere:
"l'm talking about a @mmunity of Nodh America, an integrated agreement of Canada, ihe United States, and Mexico in the long term,
20, 30, 40 years from now. And this means that some of the steps we can take are, for instance, to agree that in five years we will
make this convergence on economic variables. That may mean in 10 years we can open up that border when we have reduced the
gap in salaries and income."
ln other words, his stated long-term goal is the abolition of the border between the US and Mexico. This is a polite way of saying an
end to America s distinct nationhood, i-e. to our nationhood, period. We are to be dragged down to the level of the corrupt,
impoverished, backwad, crony-capitalist disaster a nation lvtose citizens ev aluate quite honestly by fleeing at the rate of millions
per decade on our southem border.

Page 9/11
On the surfuce, Mexico s globalist vision for economic unity seems innocent, but it s likely to create a very dangerous situation
for Amerie.
Unlike our nation of mixed nationalities with various loyalties, Mexicans are extrernely nationalistic, and they usually side with their
homeland first on all issues. Considering that Hispanics are now the largest minority group in America at 12.6 percent, and Mexicans
make up half of that population, the Mexican government is well on its way to wielding significant influence over U.S, policy by relying
on the loyalties of their '18 million dual citizens.
Another disturbing section of Mexim s National Plan concems the government s effort to set up illegal immigrants with special
identification cards, allowing them to open bank accounts and acquire driver s licenses anryhere in the United States. Basically,
any Mexican illegal alien n walk into the nearsst Mexican consulate with $29 and walk out with a "consulate card". These
cards are officially recognized in Mexico allowing illegal immigrants to operate on both sides of the border. Although the cards have
been available for many years, they have not been officially recognized in America as proper identification until recently.
ln 2001, the reliably-ultraliberal San Francisco combined city and county government unanimously passed a resolution to accept the
consulate card as official personal identification. Since that first resolution, law enforcement agencies and municipalities throughout
Califomia and other parb of the United States, have also gone on to make exceptions for illegal Mexicans by accepting the cards. This
is the first step toward making Mexican border jumpers legal by giving them blanket amnesty, something Vincente Fox has openly
called for during immigration talks with the United States.
\Mth a sagging e@nomy and many unrealized campaign promises, Mexico s leader is fighting for his political life inside what is
essentially a third world country. Now, with his old friend and "Border Buddy" President Bush firmly in tow, Vincente Fox is pushing for
the evenfual abolishment of the US-Mexico border. Such easing of border restrictions would serve as a release valve for the most
desperate unemployed Mexicans, thus relieving Mexico s financial obligation to support its poorest citizens. Moreover, free
movement across the border would allow Mexican workers to earn their money in the U.S. and spend it back in Mexico.
Just as their national plan dictates, the Fox administration is also encouraging Mexican immigrants to officially participate in Mexican
politics ftom within the United States. ln 2001, Mexico passed a law allowing dual citizenship for any Mexican national living abroad,
legal or othenivise. ln addition, Fox visited Califomia several times this year to campaign for stronger absentee ballot tumouts on behalf
of all the Mexican nationals living in the United States. Their dual citizenship law is a major weapon in Mexico s battle for a piece
of the American political pie, but it s only part of an infiltration campaign that started many years ago.
During the past fifty years, Mexico s dual loyalists have entered every facet of American society, including many public offices now
held by the sons and daughters of Mexicans who originally entered the United States illegally, just to be redeemed by past amnesty
programs. For decades they have slowly but relenflessly been taking control of local and state govemments throughout the American
Southwest. Although these Mexican-Americans were bom and raised in the United States, many of them openly put their loyalty to
Mexico before their loyalty to America. What other ethnic group in America would we tolerate this from? (When some
German-Americans flirted with Hitler in their Bund organization in the 30 s, this so shamed their reputiation as an ethnic group that
they are now despite being the largest ethnic group in America also one of the most silent in terms of explicit ethnic self-expres
sion.)
Today, the Mexican loyalists have become a dominating force in American society, influencing the culture, the language and most
importantly, the political process. Thanks to Mexican-American lobbying efforts, California state representatives now officially
recognize illegal aliens as "undocumented workers'treating them with a laundry list of special aid programs including free college
tuition. Repeat there are native Americans who can t afford to go to college, and we are spending taxpayer money to send
criminal migrants. ln Texas, the state legislature recently conducted an entire legislative session in Spanish, and the story barely made
the "B. Block" of local newscasts.

Pase 10/11
Furthermore, the 2000 presidential oampaign proved just how important the Hispanic vote is to politicians on the national front. From
day one of the campaign, then Texas Govemor, George W. Bush, dragged his half Hispanic nephew, George P. Bush to every media
event that might gamer a sizable Hispanic audience. The plan worked so well that today George W. Bush is described in many Latin
American circles as "America s first Hispanic presideni" a strange title for a guy who once referred to Mexico s national
language as "Mexican" instead of Spanish.
lndeed, Bush s relationship with Mexico and Vincente Fox goes back long before his bid for the presidency. The two were
Governors at the same time, and they met regularly over the years concerning various issues including border security, energy
production, and trade policy. Then during Bush s first year as president, he and Fox met four times to discuss US - Mexican
relations. ln the fall ot 2OO1, Bush publicly mentioned the possibility of a new amnesty program for Mexican illegals, but things cooled
dramatically after the 91 1 attacks. Today however, Bush and Fox are back on the fast kack to negotiating Mexico s plans for
economic and political expansion.
After the latest meeting of the US-Mexico Binational Commission (BNC) on November 26, the U-S. State Department confirmed that
cabinet members from both sides signed a number of important agreements. One agreement that stands out is the "Bilateral lncome
Tax Treaty" that amends an existing bilateral income tax treaty between the two nations, thus allowing significant reductions in taxes
on dividends, which officials say "will further facilitate cross-border trade and investment." lf fully ratified by both nations, this treaty will
allow major corporations to invest in either country without being taxed at home on profits earned from across the border, thus merging
our economies one step beyond NAFTA.
There is no doubt the Latinization of America is well underway, and Mexico is slyly laylng the groundwork that could eventually destroy
the security of our southern border. Furthermore, it s no big secret that many Mexicans dream of reclaiming the land lost to
America as a result of the Mexican-American War. Ever since that agreement took effect in 1845, numerous Mexican govemment
officials have openly called for "Reconquista,' a political plan to recover the land they believe was unjustly stolen by the American
government. Although Mexico has never officially encouraged the Reconquista movement, they have also never discouraged Mexican
citizens (on and off American soil) from proclaiming its inevitability.
Frankly, the official plan of Mexico is closer to a plan of colonization than it is to a plan of development. Just as their national plan
clearly dictates, the Mexican government is preparing for an attack on America -- an attack perpetrated through ideology and
assimilation rather than with bullets and blood. The self-hating political conectness of mainstream Americans, combined with their
history-blind confidence that the United States is a nation invulnerable to territorial loss, continues to aid and abet this aggression.

lN CRIMINAL MATTERS
ln our times, the common good is increasingly threatened by transnational organized crime, the
improper use of the markets and of the economy, as well as by terrorism.
It is therefore necessary for the international community to adopt adequate legal instruments to prevent
and counter criminal activities, by promoting international judicial cooperation on criminal matters.
ln ratifying numerous international conventions in these areas, and acting also on behalf of Vatican City
State, the Holy See has constantly maintained that such agreements are effective means to prevent
criminal activities that threaten human dignity, the common good and peace.
With a view to renewing the Apostolic Seet commitment to cooperate to these ends, by means of this
Apostolic Letter issued Motu Proprio, I establish that:
1. The competent Judicial Authorities of Vatican City State shall also exercise penal jurisdiction over:
a) crimes committed against the security, the fundamental interests or the patrimony of the Holy See;
- in Vatican City State Law No. Vlll, of 11July 2013, containing Supplementary Norms on Criminal Law
Matters;
- in Vatican City State Law No. lX, of 11july 2013, containing Amendments to the Criminal Code and the
Criminal Procedure Code;
when such crimes are committed by the persons referred to in paragraph 3 below, in the exercise of their
functions;
c) any other crime whose prosecution is required by an international agreement ratified by the Holy See,
if the perpetrator is physically present in the territory of Vatican City State and has not been extradited.
2. The crimes referred to in paragraph 1 are to be judged pursuant to the criminal law in force in Vatican
City State at the time of their commission, without prejudice to the general principles of the legal system
on the temporal application of criminal laws.
3. For the purposes of Vatican criminal law, the following persons are deemed "public officials":
a) members, officials and personnel of the various organs of the Roman Curia and of the lnstitutions
connected to it,
c)those persons who serve as representatives, managers or directors, as well as persons who even de
facto manage or exercise control over the entities directly dependent on the Holy See and listed in the
registry of canonicaljuridical persons kept by the Governorate of Vatican City State;
d) any other person holding an administrative or judicial mandate in the Holy See, permanent or
temporary, paid or unpaid, irrespective of that person's seniority.
4. The jurisdiction referred to in paragraph 1 comprises also the administrative liability of juridical
persons arising from crimes, as regulated by Vatican City State laws.
5. When the same matters are prosecuted in other States, the provisions in force in Vatican City State on
concurrent jurisdiction shall apply.
5. The content of article 23 of Law No. CXIX of 21 November 1987, which approves the Judicial Order of
Vatican City State remains in force.
I establish that this Apostolic Letter issued Motu Proprio will be promulgated by its publication in
Uosservatore Romano, entering into force on 1 September 2013.

1. At the beginning of this New Year, which we welcome as God's gracious gift to all humanity, I
offer heartfelt wishes of peace to every man and womanr to all the world's peoples and nations,
to heads of state and government, and to religious leaders. In doing so, I pray for an end to
wars/ conflicts and the great suffering caused by human agency, by epidemics past and present
and by the devastation wrought by natural disasters. I pray especially that, on the basis of our
common calling to cooperate with God and all people of good will for the advaneement of
harmony and peace in the world, we may resist the temptation to act in a manner unwofthy of
our humanity.
In my Message for Peace last year, I spoke of "the desire for a full life... which includes a longing
for fratemity which draws us to fellowship with others and enables us to see them not as

2. The theme I have chosen for this year's message is drawn from Saint Paul's letter to
Fhile*:er:, in ryhich tle,a.p*stk asks his ea-'vv*rker to welccme Onesimus, formerly Philemon's
--.'.:,
Th* Apretlc *f ti?e Gentiles writes: "Per*aps this is why he was parted from you ,6or a while, that
rrnr r ry1i4i"1f have him back for e\,/e!'; no iorrger as a sierre Lrui l'rrure th*n a si=ve, as a bei.Jvefi
In the Book of Genesis (cf . L:27-28), we read that God made man male and female, and blessed
them so that they could increase and multiply. He made Adam and Eve parents who, in response
to God's command to be fruitful and multiply, brought about the first fraternity, that of Cain and
Abel. Cain and Abel were brothers because they came forth from the same womb. Consequently
they had the same origin, nature and dignity as their parents, who were created in the image
and likeness of God.
But fraternityalso embraces variety and differences between brothers and sisters, even though
they are tinked by bifth and are of the same nature and dignity. As brothers and sisterc,
therefore, all people are in relation with others, from whom they differ, but with whom they
share the same origin, nature and dignity. In this way, fraternity constitutes the network of
relations essential for the building of the human family created by God.
Tragically, between the first creation recounted in the Book of Genesis and the new birthin
Christ whereby believers become brothers and sisters of the "first-born among many
brethren" (Rom 8:29), there is the negative reality of sin, which often disrupts human fraternity
and constantly disfigures the beauty and nobility of our being brothers and sisterc in the one
human family. It was not only that Cain could not stand Abel; he killed him out of envy and, in so
doing, committed the first fratricide. "Caint murder of Abel bears tragic witness to his radical
rejection of their vocation to be brothers. Their story (cf. Gen 4:1-16) brings out the difficult task
to which all men and women are called, to live as one, each taking care of the other".[2]
This was also the case with Noah and his children (d. Gen 9:L8-27). Ham's disrespect for his
father Noah drove Noah to curse his insolent son and to bless the others, those who honoured
him. This created an inequality between brothers born of the same womb.
In the account of the origins of the human family, the sin of estrangement from God, from the
father figure and from the brother, becomes an expression of the refusal of communion. It gives
rise to a culture of enslavement (cf. Gen9:25-27), with all its consequences extending from
generation to generation: rejection of others, their mistreatment, violations of their dignity and
fundamental rights, and institutionalized inequality. Hence, the need for constant conversion to
the Covenant, fulfilled by Jesus'sacrifice on the cross, in the confidence that "where sin
increased, grace abounded all the more... through lesus Christ" (Rom 5:20-2L). Christ, the
beloved Son (d. Mt3:L7), came to reveal the Father's love for humanity. Whoever hears the
Gospel and responds to the call to conversion becomes Jesus'" brother, sister and mothel' (Mt
12:50), and thus an adopted son of his Father (ct. Eph t:5).
One does not become a Christian, a child of the Father and a brother or sister in Christ, as the
result of an authoritative divine decree, without the exercise of personal freedom: in a word,
without being freely convefted to Christ. Becoming a child of God is necessarily linked to
*'Repent
conversion: and be bapUzed, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the
forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit" (Ac62:38). All those
who responded in faith and with their lives to Pete/s preaching entered into the fraternityof the
first Christian community (cf. 1 PetZtLT; Acts 1:15-16, 6:3, 15:23): Jews and Greeks, slaves and
free (cf. I Corl2:t3; Gal3:28). Differing origins and social status did not diminish anyone's
dignity or exclude anyone from belonging to the People of God. The Christian community is thus
grlu l96vJvru
rr vlrs rr*vvr, ue! urvLrlvrJ Jaulwlo I t rurvto
a place of communion lived in the love shared among brothers and sisters (d. Rom L2:10; 1
Thess4:9; HebL3:Li 1 Pett:22; 2 PetL:7).
Alt of this shows how the Good News of Jesus Christ, in whom God makes "all things new" (Rev
21:5),[3] is also capable of redeeming human relationships, including those between slaves and
masters, by shedding light on what both have in common: adoptive sonship and the bond of
brotherhood in Christ. Jesus himself said to his disciples: "No longer do I call you seruants, for
the seruant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I
have heard from my Father I have made known to you" (Jn 15:15).
3. From time immemorial, different societies have known the phenomenon of man's subjugation
by man. There have been periods of human history in which the institution of slavery was
generally accepted and regulated by law. This legislation dictated who was born free and who
was born into slavery, as well as the conditions whereby a freeborn person could lose his or her
freedom or regain it. In other words, the law itself admitted that some people were able or
required to be considered the property of other people, at their free disposition. A slave could be
bought and sold, given away or acquired, as if he or she were a commercial product.
Today, as the result of a growth in our awareness, slavery, seen as a crime against humanity,[4]
has been formally abolished throughout the world. The right of each person not to be kept in a
state of slavery or servitude has been recognized in international law as inviolable.
Yet, even though the international community has adopted numerous agreements aimed at
ending slavery in all its forms, and has launched various strategies to combat this phenomenon,
millions of people today - children, women and men of all ages - are deprived of freedom and
are forced to live in conditions akin to slavery.
I think of the many men and women labourery including minorc, subjugated in different sectors,
whether formally or informally, in domestic or agricultural workplaces, or in the manufacturing or
mining industry; whether in countries where labour regulations fail to comply with international
norms and minimum standards, or, equally illegally, in countries which lack legal protection for
workers'rights.
I think also of the living conditions of many migranBwho, in their dramatic odyssey, experience
hunger, are deprived of freedom, robbed of their possessions, or undergo physical and sexual
abuse, In a particular way, I think of those among them who, upon arriving at their destination
after a gruelling journey marked by fear and insecurity, are detained in at times inhumane
conditions. I think of those among them, who for different social, political and economic reasons,
are forced to live clandestinely. My thoughts also turn to those who, in order to remain within the
law, agree to disgraceful living and working conditions, especially in those cases where the laws
of a nation create or permit a structural dependency of migrant workers on their employers, as,
for example, when the legality of their residency is made dependent on their labour contract.
Yes, I am thinking of "slave labour".
JruvvJ, uuL uaulllwlu suu 9rulYlu I I l*ravrt
I think also of persons forced into prostitution, many of whom are minors, as well as male and
female sex slaves- I think of women forced into marriage, those sold for arranged marriages and
those bequeathed to relatives of their deceased husbands, without any right to give or withhold
their consent.
Nor can I fail to think of all those persons, minors and adults alike, who are made objects of
traffrckingfor the sale of organs, for recruitment as soldierc, for begging, for illegal activities
such as the production and sale of narcotics, or for disguised forms of cross-border adoption.
Finally, I think of all those kidnapped and held captive by terorist groups, subjected to their
purposes as combatants, or, above all in the case of young girls and women, to be used as sex
slaves. Many of these disappear, while others are sold several times over, tortured, mutilated or
killed.
4.Today, as in the past slavery is rooted in a notion of the human person which allows him or
her to be treated as an object. Whenever sin corrupts the human heart and distances us from
our Creator and our neighbours, the latter are no longer regarded as beings of equal dignity, as
brothers or sisters sharing a common humanity, but rather as objects. Whether by coercion or
deception, or by physical or psychological duress, human persons created in the image and
likeness of God are deprived of their freedom, sold and reduced to being the propefi of others.
They are treated as means to an end.
Alongside this deeper cause - the rejection of another persont humanity - there are other
causes which help to explain contemporary forms of slavery. Among these, I think in the flrst
place of poverty, underdevelopment and exclusion, especially when combined with a lack of
access to education or scarce, even non-existenf employment opportunities. Not infrequently,
the victims of human trafficking and slavery are people who look for a way out of a situation of
extreme povefi; taken in by false promises of employment, they often end up in the hands of
criminal networks which organize human trafficking- These networks are skilled in using modern
means of communication as a way of luring young men and women in various parts of the world.
Another cause of slavery is corruption on the paft of people willing to do anything for financial
gain. Slave labour and human trafficking often require the complicity of intermediaries, be they
law enforcement personnel, state officials, or civil and military institutions. "This occurs when
money, and not the human person, is at the centre of an economic system. Yes, the person,
made in the image of God and charged with dominion over all creation, must be at the centre of
every social or economic system. When the person is replaced by mammon, a subversion of
values occurs".[5]
Further causes of slavery include armed conflicts, violence, criminal adivityand terrorism. Many
people are kidnapped in order to be sold, enlisted as combatants, or sexually exploited, while
others are forced to emigrate, leaving everything behind: their country, home, propefi, and
even members of their family. They are driven to seek an alternative to these terrible conditions
even at the risk of their personal dignity and their very lives; they risk being drawn into that
vicious circle which makes them prey to misery, corrupUon and their baneful consequences.

5. Often, when considering the reality of human trafficking, illegal trafficking of migrants and
other acknowledged or unacknowledged forms of slavery one has the impression that they occur
within a context of general indifference.
Sadly, this is largely true. Yet I would like to mention the enormous and often silent efforts which
have been made for many years by religrbus congregations, especially women's congregations,
to provide support to victims. These institutes work in very dfficult situaUons, dominated at
times by violence, as they work to break the invisible chains binding victims to traffickerc and
exploiters. Those chains are made up of a series of links, each composed of clever psychological
ploys which make the victims dependent on their exploiters. This is accomplished by blackmail
and threats made against them and their loved ones, but also by concrete acts such as the
confiscation of their identity documents and physical violence. The activity of religious
congregations is carried out in three main areas: in offering assistance to victims, in working for
their psychological and educational rehabilitation, and in efforts to reintegrate them into the
society where they live or from which they have come.
This immense task, which calls for courage, patience and perseverance, deserves the
appreciation of the whole Church and society. YeL of itself, it is not sufficient to end the scourge
of the exploitation of human persons. There is also need for a threefold commitment on the
institufional level: ta prevention, to victim protection and to the legal prosecuUon of perpetrators.
Moreover, since criminal organizations employ global networks to achieve their goals, efforts to
eliminate this phenomenon also demand a common and, indeed, a global effort on the part of
various sectorc of society.
States must ensure that their own legislation truly respects the dignity of the human person in
the areas of migration, employment, adoption, the movement of businesses offshore and the
sale of items produced by slave labour. There is a need for just laws which are centred on the
human person, uphold fundamental rights and restore those rights when they have been
violated. Such laws should also provide for the rehabilitation of victims, ensure their personal
safety, and include effective means of enforcement which leave no room for corruption or
impunity. The role of women in society must also be recognized, not least through initiatives in
the sectors of culture and social comrnunications.
Businesse$61 have a duty to ensure dignifled working conditions and adequate salaries for their
employees, but they must also be vigilant *rat forms of subjugation or human trafficking do not
find their way into the distribution chain. Together with the social responsibility of businesses,
there is also the social responsibility of consumers. Every person ought to have the awareness
that "purchasing is always a moral - and not simply an economic - act".[7]
rt vrlv vsJ vL I vevv pv LJ. l\V rvu6vr orevvor vuL Urvllrvlg qls urelvlu l r rurvru r4Svvvru
Organizations in civil society, for their paft, have the task of awakening consciences and
promoting whatever steps are necessary for combating and uprooting the culture of
enslavement.
In recent years, the Holy See, attentive to the pain of the victims of trafficking and the voice of
the religious congregations which assist them on their path to freedom, has increased its appeals
to the international community for cooperation and collaboration between different agencies in
putting an end to this scourge.[8] Meetings have also been organized to draw attention to the
phenomenon of human trafficking and to facilitate cooperation between various agencies,
including experts from the universities and international organizations, police forces from
migrants'countries of origin, transit or destination, and representatives of ecclesial groups which
work with victims. It is my hope that these efforts will continue to expand in years to come.
6. In her "proclamation of the truth of Chrisfs love in society",[9] the Church constantly engages
in charitable activities inspired by the truth of the human person. She is charged with showing to
all the path to conversion, which enables us to change the way we see our neighbours, to
recognize in every other person a brother or sister in our human family, and to acknowledge his
or her intrinsic dignity in truth and freedom. This can be clearly seen from the story of Josephine
Bakhita, the saint originally from the Darfur region in Sudan who was kidnapped by slave-
traffickers and sold to brutal masters when she was nine years old. Subsequently - as a result of
painful experiences - she became a "free daughter of God" thanks to her faith, lived in religious
consecration and in service to others, especially the most lowly and helpless. This saint, who
lived at the turn of the twentieth century is even today an exemplary witness of hope[l0] for
the many victims of slavery; she can support the efforts of all those committed to fighting
against this "open wound on the body of contemporary society, a scourge upon the body of
Christ". [11]
In the light of all this, I invite everyone, in accordance with his or her specific role and
responsibilities, to practice acts of fraternity towards those kept in a state of enslavement. Let us
ask ourselves, as individuals and as communities, whether we feel challenged when, in our daily
lives, we meet or deal with persons who could be victims of human traffcking, or when we are
tempted to select items which may well have been produced by exploiting others. Some of us,
out of indifference, or financial reasons, or because we are caught up in our daily concerns, close
our eyes to this. Others, however, decide to do something about it to join civic associations or to
practice small, everyday gestures - which have so much merit! - such as offering a kind word, a
greeting or a smile. These cost us nothing but they can offer hope, open doors, and change the
life of another person who lives clandestinely; they can also change our own lives with respect to
this reality.
We ought to recognize that we are facing a global phenomenon which exceeds the competence
of any one community or country. In order to eliminate it we need a mobilization comparable in
size to that of the phenomenon itself. For this reason I urgenUy appeal to all men and women of
good will, and all those near or far, including the highest levels of civil institutions, who witness
the scourge of contemporary slavery, not to become accomplices to this evil, not to turn away
l:!l|! t lll trVrr$ v*J VL MVv Ivtltivr orsvv-, vBL uav9rlvlD srv Drouvr

from the sufferings of our brothers and sisters, our fellow human beings, who are deprived of
their freedom and dignity. Instead, may we have the courage to tonch the suffering flesh of
Christ,[l2] revealed in the faces of those countless persons whom he calls \he least of these my
brethren" (Mt 25:40, 45).
We know that God will ask each of us: What did you do for your brother? (cf. Gen 4;9-LO). The
globalization of indifference, which today burdens the lives of so many of our brothers and
sisters, requires all of us to forge a new worldwide solidarity and fraternity capable of giving
them new hope and helping them to advance with courage amid the problems of our time and
the new horizons which they disclose and which God places in our hands.
