Notes on Jurisdiction

A famous, centuries-old map of the Chesapeake Bay region appears beautiful at first glance, but Anacostia Unmapped contributor John Johnson sees foreboding and destruction. The map, created by Capt. John Smith and first published in 1612, was heavily used by English settlers. It shows a Native American village, Nacotchtank, on the bank of a river. Variations on spelling and pronunciation eventually turned the name of the area — and the river — into Anacostia. The tribe is officially extinct, but a resident of Anacostia, Jason Anderson, tells Johnson about his deep links to it.
The village of Nacotchtank (from which the name Anacostia is derived) was the largest of the three American Indian villages located in the Washington area and is believed to have been a major trading center. The people of Nacotchtank, or Anacostans, were an Algonquian-speaking people that lived along the southeast side of the Anacostia River in the area between today’s Bolling Air Force Base and Anacostia Park, in the floodplain below the eastern-most section of today’s Fort Circle Parks. A second town, Nameroughquena, most likely stood on the Potomac’s west bank, opposite of what today is Theodore Roosevelt Island. Another village existed on a narrow bluff between today’s Chesapeake and Ohio Canal and MacArthur Boulevard in the northwest section of the city.
National Park Service (NPS), “Native Peoples of Washington, DC”
The Anacostans’ name is a Latin version of their original name, the Nacotchtanks. The name came from the Indian word “anaquashatanik,” which means “a town of traders.” They were known for trading throughout the Chesapeake area, even trading fur with the Iroquois of New York.
Museum officials [note] that the Anacostans are mentioned at an exhibit on Native Americans in the Chesapeake Bay area.
Ann McMullen, a supervisory museum curator, said exhibits are designed to “focus on living people and not on Anacostans who have been absorbed into other tribes.” She said the museum works with tribes in the Mid-Atlantic region, including the Pamunkeys and Piscataways, who are “descendants of people who were once here.”

300,000 attend mass protest for Palestine in Washington; masjid al-maghrib established
By Antarah Crawley
WASHINGTON, DC — Approximately 300,000 people from every corner of the United States converged for a “truly massive National March on Washington D.C.” on Saturday, November 4 at 12:00 p.m. at Freedom Plaza. Co-organizer ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) Coalition writes on their website:
Israel, with the full backing of the U.S. government, is carrying out an unprecedented massacre in Gaza. Thousands of Palestinians are being killed with bombs, bullets and missiles paid for by U.S. tax dollars. This is the latest bloody chapter in the colonial project of Israel, founded with the objective of dispossessing Palestinians from their land; Now is the time to stand with the besieged people of Palestine! Gaza is being bombed by the hour. Its people are denied food, water and electricity by Israel. Tens of thousands more people are likely to die. We must ACT! People are in the streets everyday in their local cities and towns.

NOVUS SYLLABUS (N∴S∴) Executive Producer (EP) Antarah Crawley (@DCxInfinity) said of his coverage of the event:
This is a video of my favorite band performing some of my favorite songs. This band’s members are frequently changing, as does the reason for which they band together, and they often only perform in the nature of a direct action of civil disobedience or of expression of constitutional rights [in public spaces]. The band is called decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), and on November 4th 2023 they performed to Free Palestine in a moving concert of 300,000 people in downtown Washington DC. A revolutionary, empowering, peaceful, spiritual, and historical time was had by all. The band performed such classics as #freefreepalestine #ceasefirenow #shutitdown #thisiswhatdemocracylookslike and #ourstreets
Antarah Crawley
The Center for Strategic and International Studies has reported on the escalating trend of mass protests:
Toward 7:00 p.m. on the evening of the fourth of November, as the march of the mass protest made its way to the White House grounds from 17th Street NW via Pennsylvania Avenue, to the right side of the Avenue in front of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, a ways after the Secret Service guard post but before the inner barrier colonnade, muslims congregated to pray Maghrib, one of the five obligatory daily prayers, or salah. The Maghrib prayer begins when the sun sets, and lasts until the red light has left the sky in the west, according to Wikipedia. Masjid ar-Rahman provides this guide to praying daily salah, which are Fajr (dawn), Dhur (noon), Asr (afternoon), Maghrib (evening), and Isha (nightfall). See the complete source.
The EP was riding past on his trusty steed when he observed the congregation facing toward mecca in diagonal rows; so he backtracked and stood at end of one of the rows to participate spiritually, although he did not know the manner of making rakah nor salah. The EP did feel the presence of God, so he remained there in meditative prayer. Other muslims came to pray, so the EP extended the footprint of the masjid to make room for them in the prayer line while he continued to stand at attention in meditative prayer. Other protest aids assumed the position of the doors and walls around the masjid, guiding the onstreaming crowd around the congregation; together, the EP and these aids ensured that the worshippers were not unduly disturbed by the surrounding masses. This arrangement continued until evening redness in the west went out and the last muslim ended their salah; and the masjid disbanded. After the last protest aid left, the EP himself got onto his knees to better commune with God/Allah, and he supplicated himself to God/Allah like the muslims had done in that place. He felt in his heart that during those past moments a divine thing had transpired there.

Department of Labor notice of proposed rulemaking could upset labor-management relations
By Antarah Crawley
WASHINGTON, DC — In September 2023, the Wage and Hour Division of the United States Department of Labor (DOL) issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NOPR) to amend 29 CFR Part 541, to wit, Defining and Delimiting the Exemptions for Executive, Administrative, Professional, Outside Sales, and Computer Employees.
The Summary section of the proposed rulemaking reads:
In this proposal, the Department of Labor (Department) is updating and revising the regulations issued under the Fair Labor Standards Act implementing the exemptions from minimum wage and overtime pay requirements for executive, administrative, professional, outside sales, and computer employees. Significant proposed revisions include increasing the standard salary level to the 35th percentile of weekly earnings of full-time salaried workers in the lowest-wage Census Region (currently the South)—$1,059 per week ($55,068 annually for a full-year worker)—and increasing the highly compensated employee total annual compensation threshold to the annualized weekly earnings of the 85th percentile of full-time salaried workers nationally ($143,988). The Department is also proposing to add to the regulations an automatic updating mechanism that would allow for the timely and efficient updating of all the earnings thresholds.
Summary
This means that employees of covered employers who make less that $55,068 will no longer be exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLRA) minimum wage and overtime regulations as “white-collar” or executive, administrative, or professional (EAP) employees. The NOPR Executive Summary reads:
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA or Act) requires covered employers to pay employees a minimum wage and, for employees who work more than 40 hours in a week, overtime premium pay of at least 1.5 times the employee’s regular rate of pay. Section 13(a)(1) of the FLSA, which was included in the original Act in 1938, exempts from the minimum wage and overtime pay requirements “any employee employed in a bona fide executive, administrative, or professional capacity.” [1] The exemption is commonly referred to as the “white-collar” or executive, administrative, or professional (EAP) exemption. The statute delegates to the Secretary of Labor (Secretary) the authority to define and delimit the terms of the exemption. Since 1940, the regulations implementing the EAP exemption have generally required that each of the following three tests must be met: (1) the employee must be paid a predetermined and fixed salary that is not subject to reduction because of variations in the quality or quantity of work performed (the salary basis test); (2) the amount of salary paid must meet a minimum specified amount (the salary level test); and (3) the employee’s job duties must primarily involve executive, administrative, or professional duties as defined by the regulations (the duties test). The employer bears the burden of establishing the applicability of the exemption.[2] Job titles and job descriptions do not determine EAP exemption status, nor does merely paying an employee a salary.
Executive Summary
This proposed rulemaking is causing some employers to reclassify employees who have historically been salaried full-time employees (FTE) with “white collar” exemption to wage-hour employees.
These changes are agitating labor-management relations, creating sharper contradiction in the employer-employee dialectic (“struggle of opposites”). Some employers are electing not to raise the compensation of historically EAP employees above the 35th percentile of weekly earnings of full-time salaried workers in the lowest-wage Census Region, even if those employees live in the most expensive regions of the country.
The sharpening of this historical and materialist dialectic is resulting in a proportional increase in union activity and may very well catalyze the decentralized autonomous organization of the Office of the Plebian Tribunes as well as shore up the 1st Memorandum of the College of the Ancient Mystery.

N∴S∴ establishes third wave of the Antimasonic Party in the United States
by Antarah Crawley

WASHINGTON, DC — The First Anti-Masonic Party, established February 1828 in upstate New York, was the earliest third party in the fledgling United States of America. The party emerged as a strong opposition force to the Jacksonian Democrats and Van Buren’s Albany Regency during the House of Representatives election of 1828. Originally a single-issue party, Anti-Masonic sentiment in the American Northeast was spurred by the disappearance and alleged murder of William Morgan, a former Mason who became outspoken against, and voiced his intent to publish a book critical of, the fraternity. Following these statements Morgan was arrested on “trumped-up” charges, and his subsequent “disappearance” was believed to have been committed by Freemasons from Western New York.
In [September] 1831 the Anti-Masonic Party convened in Baltimore, Maryland to select a single presidential candidate agreeable to the whole party leadership in the 1832 presidential election. The National Republican and Democratic parties soon followed suit.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_nominating_convention#History
The Anti-Masonic Party conducted the first presidential nominating convention in the United States history for the 1832 elections, nominating William Wirt (a former Mason) for President and Amos Ellmaker for Vice President in Baltimore. Wirt won 7.78 percent of the popular vote and the seven electoral votes of Vermont. Soon the Democrats and Whigs recognized the convention’s value in managing parties and campaigns and began to hold their own.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Masonic_Party#Conventions_and_elections
The major paradox and triumph of Antimasonry is that although it declined rapidly as an independent political entity after 1833, it achieved its major success as a social or reform movement in the nearly total, albeit temporary, destruction of Masonry in those states where it was an active force. Politically, Antimasonry’s greatest achievements were the introduction of the national nominating convention to American presidential politics and contributions to the formation and development of the Whig party.
Vaughn, William Preston. The Antimasonic Party in the United States 1826–1843. Lexington: University of Kentucky Press; 1983
The Second Anti-Masonic Party, of tenuous affiliation to the first, was active from 1872 until 1888. It is therefore in this tradition that we establish the Third Wave Antimasonic Party (TWAP) of the United Stated of America.
Anti-Masonry was deeply committed to conspiracy theories, primarily the claim that Masonic elites were trying to secretly control the government […although] opposition to Masonry was not the Anti-Masonic movement’s sole issue. […] The Anti-Masonic movement gave rise to or expanded the use of many innovations which became accepted practice among other parties, including nominating conventions and party newspapers. […T]hey made direct appeals to the people through gigantic rallies, parades, and rhetorical rabble-rousing.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Masonic_Party#Legacy
Similarly, the revelation and denunciation of the international masonic conspiracy (and allied power systems) is the primary platform of the TWAP; however, a party member need not necessarily harbor ardently Antimasonic sentiments. “The fact that William Wirt, their choice for the presidency in 1832, not only was a former Mason, but also defended Freemasonry in a speech before the convention that nominated him indicates that opposition to Masonry was not the Anti-Masonic movement’s sole issue,” Wikipedia relates.
It is probably not a coincidence that the First Party Convention in Baltimore was held in an Odd Fellow stronghold. Whatever the reason for touting the Antimasonic platform, it provides a broad and adaptable alternative to the ostentatious and disingenuous displays of the present Democratic-Republican party system.
Party Platform
Freemasonry is an ancient international conspiracy manifest through a subversive organization whose members have deceived the public for over 300 years and which operates behind the curtain of the deep state. Through mercantilism and control of international commerce, they are the most organized crime syndicate in the history of the world — but they are only the hidden hand and avant-garde of an even more elitist and secretive cabal of temporal rulers.
Our foremost demand is the abolition of Freemasonry, and a federal interdiction against the gathering of any secret society in any state of the Union.
We seek to unite the far left and the far right 180 degrees from political center which is squarely within the sphere of international Masonic control. It is time for the working people to unite against the rulership (the archons), the aristocracy, the bourgeoisie, and the landed gentry, and receive the return of the disbursement of the accrued value of their labor power which has been stolen over the course of their life through usury.
A bastardizarion of Templar Knights, pirates, mystery schools, and merchants guilds, Freemasonry has become a bane of civilization, and a scourge upon the moral fabric of our society. This scourge pervades both political parties in our two party system, in addition to the whole cabal of Greek organizations, professional societies, bar associations, medical systems, and international insurance and business concerns. The deep state society of Freemasonry must be eradicated, its veil of evil unveiled, its associations dissolved, and its property conveyed to the People, so as to prevent it from exercising its convert and subversive control over the vital forces and mechanisms of our civilization.
