ARTICLE THE FIRST: General Overview

The Sovran Private Society (henceforth “Sovran” or “Society”) has been created by the Private Instrument of Establishment and Articles of Creation for the purposes of establishing a Private Society with Sovereign Integrity and Perpetual Standing. The Society has been established within the jurisdiction of the PanTerraVida Court of the People, utilizing the Law Form of the PanTerraVida Private Society (henceforth “PTV”) and founded upon the Law of the People as paramount within the PTV jurisdiction, cognized as the Sovereign Ecclesiastical Body Politic thereof. Therefrom, the members of the Society have come together to form the Sovran Private Contract Association (henceforth “Association” or “PCA”) as a private and autonomous association based on the a priori principles of Sovereign Integrity, Self-Determination, and the inviolate nature of private contracts. These Articles shall serve as the foundational basis of the PCA and is put forth as an Offer to all Living Beings who wish to accept the Offer to contract as a member of the Sovran PCA pursuant to the tenets and articles set forth herein. The PCA and its Members shall enjoy the unfettered benefits of the Protections and Immunities from the larger PanTerraVida Private Society and the Court of the People, and by acceptance hereof, each member shall establish a solemn and sacred trust in contract form that establishes their entry into the Sovran Society and the Private Contract Association pursuant to and in agreement with these Articles of Association.

ARTICLE THE SECOND: First Principles

The foundational principles of the Society and Association are as follows. These Articles establish a sacred covenant of Mutual Benefit amongst the members and an affirmation of these principles as guidelines for living in Peace and Sovereign Integrity as a worldwide society:

1. We see All Life as Sacred and retain the highest level of respect for the Sovereign Integrity of all Living Beings and all living things and systems of the Earth.
2. We honor the Life Force in all Living Beings and exalt the Sanctity of All Life.
3. We recognize that we have been entangled in a matrix of legal and monetary bondage and that the very nature of such entanglement has placed us in a commercial battlefield, which in turn keeps us in a continuous state of war.
4. Thus, in all our actions, we strive to move toward Peace, to lay down the implements of war. To achieve this, we must leave the battlefield and stand in Peace and Sovereign Integrity.
5. Going to Peace means that we remove ourselves from the bondage of debt and death and return to Life.
6. We define LIFE as “Living In Full Expression.” This means that we bring all of who we are here into this Life and live our lives to the fullest, in joy and gratitude, and we join with our fellow members to transform our lives and revivify all of Life here in this world.
7. We are committed to the universal path, which is the path of Peace. We commit to ourselves and to each other to live every day to the fullest and to plant the seeds of Peace everywhere we walk on the land and soil of our world
8. We honor all paths of faith and practice that each chooses to pursue in their return to wholeness, while at the same time, we commit to the intention to lift the veils of illusion that have kept us divided and conquered, and have blinded our eyes and closed our ears from seeing and hearing the truth of our existence and our relationship to all of Life and to the cosmos.
9. We recognize in each other the vibrant spark of Life Force that comes to us as the Gift of Life, endowed from our Source as Sacred Principal, however each chooses to see, comprehend, and define their relationship with Source and Creation; in essence, we understand that we are all One in the unity of Life, and we walk the path of Union and Communion with all who have chosen to walk this path into Life.
10. The foundation of the PCA and its concurrence with the PTV Court of the People shall be the Law Form of PTV, established on the universal principles of Law and Equity (true Law based on custom and usages, commonly referred to as Common Law), and True Equity (based on the Maxims of Equity and the centuries of equitable practice as defined thereby) – see clause #13 for a link to the Articles of Creation for the Court of the People

ARTICLE THE THIRD: Name of the Association

The name of this Private Contract Association shall be the “Sovran Private Contract Association” (hereinafter referred to as "Sovran PCA" or "PCA").

ARTICLE THE FOURTH: Purpose and Intent of the Association

The purpose of the Sovran PCA is to establish a private association via private contractual agreement amongst its members. Such contracts are neither public nor commercial. It is not simply a “Member Association;” it is a member body politic established by Private Contract. It is the member-based Sovereign Body Politic of the Sovran Private Society for the fulfillment of the Purpose and Intent thereof, as described hereinbelow and in the Mission Statement of the Society. The Society and PCA are committed to fostering trust, integrity, and mutually beneficial relationships among its members across the Earth, with a primary focus on services, benefits, and support for the Original Peoples of the Land of this world who have been underserved, marginalized, and excluded from the benefits and functions of modern digital technologies for monetary, banking, and treasury services. This shall be achieved by the following tenets:

1. Provide proprietary technologies for the private use of its members, through providing platforms, technical services, financial functions, and more, for the delivery and support of systems for secure monetary functions in support of individual, business, organizational, and project endeavors.
2. Establish a worldwide system of decentralized and distributed communications and digital data platforms for the transmission, security, and preservation of data. It also aligns with the PTV Master Plan to facilitate services for Treasury, Banking, and Monetary functions.
3. Facilitate private and secure communication between members.
4. Enable the use of blockchain-enabled technologies for conducting secure digital transactions, exclusively backed by real-world tangible assets such as precious metals bullion, valuable ores, or other rare and valuable commodities.
5. Offer private banking services to members for secure, sovereign financial management.
6. Provide private crypto exchange, trading, and settlement services to facilitate seamless currency transactions
7. Develop and support merchant technology services for private and secure commercial activities.
8. Promote shared goals, values, and mutual support within the community, as well as interactively amongst and with the Sovereign Bodies Politic that the Sovran systems intend to support and to work with in complimentary fashion.
9. Provide a platform for personal and collective growth outside the constraints of public or commercial systems, done in conjunction and synergy with the PTV Society and its Master Plan
10. Uphold, preserve, and protect the Sovereign Integrity and privacy of its members by operating exclusively within private contractual agreements.
11. Operate solely within the private jurisdiction of the Court of the People, with primacy established in conjoint Purpose and Intention with First and Original Peoples, collectively known as "Turtle Island," encompassing the entirety of Earth, in mutual cognizance of the Primacy of the People of the Land in solemn and sacred trust for the stewardship and preservation of all living things and systems of this world.
12. Uphold the fulfillment of the Gift of Life for all who choose the path of Peace, Sovereign Integrity, and Life itself, that all who come into this Association, whether of original people inheritance or of other races, shall always and forever be recognized as the First People of the Land, with Standing and Capacity to contract with the Earth herself and with universal principles of Law, Equity, and Balance, so that we shall pass on this legacy trust to our posterity and all the children now and for all future generations, recognizing the universality of all in Life regardless of distinctions of race, genetics, or ethnicity, whereby all have the right to choose the path of Peace and Life, and join in union together to heal ourselves and our Earth.
13. Finally, as a key tenet of these Articles and this section, it is to be noted that the Court of the People was initially established by and within the PanTerraVida Private Society, but it is not a centralized or hierarchical structure of judicial dominance or control as with the “priests of the judicial temples of Mammon.” The Court of the People (henceforth “COTP”) was meticulously designed to be precisely the opposite of such debased constructs that have nothing to do with real justice. For further detail see the Articles of Creation of the Court of the People at https://ptvcourt.org/instrument-of-establishment-of-the-court-of-the-people/. The so-called “Law of the Priest” has been replaced with the Law of the People.
14. PTV has pioneered a new system of law, its own Law Form, that is derived from the best and purest elements of true law and equity. It has placed the People as the Law as paramount, and no institution has any superseding authority over the Law of the People. But it is critical to come to know what this really means, which requires the Will to pursue the necessary education to learn what real Law is, which nobody alive today has ever really known or seen. A True Law of the People is established in such a way as to remove any possibility of a top-down dominance structure that debases any equitable or lawful utility of the Law.
15. Thus, when it is referenced here, the Sovran Private Society Court of the People is comprised of the Living Body Politic of the People, which is the members of the Sovran Private Contract Association. PanTerraVida is the pioneer but is not the controller of this Law Form. It is freely given to be learned, integrated, and applied to and by all other Private Societies within the extended whole system of this decentralized model. Thus, all reference to the Court of the People is specifically to the Sovereign Body Politic established by these Articles of Association, by and for the Living Beings as members thereof, in concurrence with the Sovran Society itself, and in accord with that of the PanTerraVida Society and Court.
16. Thus, it is highly encouraged that the Members of the PCA seek that necessary education, which is best accessed through the online systems of education and the near future intended Living Universities that will be developed soon as presented by the PTV Society and its educational forums, found at https://gem.university/.

ARTICLE THE FIFTH: Membership

Section 5.1: Eligibility

Membership is open to all Living Beings in their sovereign and sui juris status, regardless of any inferior engagements in public jurisdictions.

Any aggregate organizational structure (corporations, foundations, project organizations, spiritual enclaves within domestic jurisdictions, and others) shall be invited to have any and all of their members join the PCA on a personal and private basis (the PCA is comprised only of Living Beings and not of any artificial construct whether public or private).

Section 5.4: Obligations and Confidentiality

In the founding documents, the Holders of the Office of Overseer and the Office of Scribe, along with their Successors, take upon themselves a very strict “Covenant of Silence,” the purpose of which is to guard, protect, and preserve the privacy of all books, records, documents, ledgers, and data of the Society. The text of this Covenant of Silence is included in these Articles at the end of this section and is thereby made a part hereof by reference and inclusion. All members shall be bound to the Covenant of Silence and shall not disclose, reveal, share, copy, or in any way cause to be made public all elements of the protected materials as herein described.
2. An important part of these Articles and the requisite responsibilities of the PCA members is to read and comprehend the Covenant and be clear that every member is bound by the tenets of privacy and confidentiality therein. All members of Sovran must agree to never disclose any information, discussions, or records related to Sovran and the PCA to any office, agency, department, party, individual, officer, agent, or representative in and of any public jurisdiction.
3. Any breach of this clause for privacy and confidentiality will immediately render membership in the PCA void, but subject to review and reconsideration in a Court of Record within the Court of the People for proper and lawful review and adjudication by a Trial by Jury of Peers (peers are defined as all members in good standing of the PCA). Any harm caused by such breach is subject to claims in equity for any direct repercussions caused by instances with demonstrated and verified evidence, and the member causing such harm shall carry potential liability as a result thereof and be subject to equitable recompense as determined by a trial by jury.
4. Any such disclosure will be considered a violation of membership and may result in immediate termination of membership, following a fair review process by the governing body of Sovran.

All members are solely responsible for their own legal, lawful, taxation, and monetary responsibilities, and for their own acts and decisions, and agree to hold Sovran harmless and indemnify same, inclusive of all of its Office Holders, agents, representatives, members, and those holding plenary power thereof, against any claims pertaining to loss or harm incurred during the use of the Sovran compendium of services as herein described, or within any technical functions and services that may come available for the use of members in the future.
6. Covenant of Silence. The Office of Overseer and All Successors in Office, by and through said Overseer’s acceptance of the Appointment as Office Holder thereto, has established a Covenant of Silence. Said Covenant is between said Office and the Peculiar Members of the Society dealing in secular and Spiritual Relationships, documents related thereto. The Office Holder is required to affirm his or her acceptance of the aforesaid Covenant until his or her death. Each Office Holder agrees to set off for liquidated damages by self-assessment (in the nature of Self-Confession of Judgment and Self-Executing Contract), the amount of Ten Million (10,000,000) Dollars of Silver, or equivalent, for each occurrence of a breach. This amount of applied liquidated damages is and shall be transferable to any person, whether corporate or living man or woman in individual capacity, who attempts to forcibly compel the Office Holder or other individual holding office for the Society to reveal the private documents, private affairs or affairs of the Society against his or her will in maintaining said Covenant of Silence. Any actual or attempted trespass on the Covenant of Silence shall be immediate cause for issuance of a True Bill accompanied by a Self-executing Power of Attorney (Tacit Procuration) and Confession of Judgment to be presented to the trespassing party or parties for payment of liquidated damages. The herein Statement and Decree of the Overseer shall serve as the only notice of the self-executing nature of such liquidated damages.

Section 5.5: Termination of Membership

Membership may be terminated if:

1. The member violates the Articles of Creation, governing policies, or confidentiality agreement (Covenant of Silence).
2. The member voluntarily withdraws from Sovran.

This decision is ultimately at the discretion of Sovran, but will always be done with the stated preferences of the member as priority.
2. The resulting funds through liquidation will be transferred to the member's third-party crypto-enabled wallet, provided such a wallet address has been confirmed and verified by the member in advance.

We remove all the illusions of the Matrix by declaring that we do not consent to the absurdities of a world system that is self-evident in its agenda to destroy all of Life and to bind the People to its false Cult of Death.
