Testamentary Declaration of Succession

SIGNED & EXECUTED9 MAY 2026IRREVOCABLE

"I'm just going to make sure that you know this — regardless if anything happens to me, no matter what — this still goes on. And the people still have the right to all the remedies that were due upon me. And as I have given to them, the remainder goes to my family and my son."
— Francesco Giovanni Longo, Declarant, 9 May 2026, 12:39 EDT

What this Declaration does

This Declaration gives full legal force to the words above. It locks in three things:

  1. The People's Trust survives the Settlor. The Dedication of 75% of State-Party recoveries and 100% of corporate-defendant recoveries above $15M to the class-wide Trust is irrevocable, regardless of the death, incapacity, kidnapping, custodial detention, forced disappearance, or any other deprivation of the Settlor's liberty or capacity.
  2. The Italian-Trust Funding Agreement survives the Settlor. The 2.0×–2.4× repayment obligation to the Italian Republic binds the Settlor's estate.
  3. Residual flows to family and son. After the Italian-Trust repayment and the People's Trust dedication are honored, any residual proceeds flow to (PRIORITY 1) the Settlor's son, (PRIORITY 2) the Settlor's surviving family — with particular emphasis on his brother's medical needs — and (PRIORITY 3) any remainder back into the People's Trust.

Anti-coercion · anti-impersonation

No purported instrument signed in the Declarant's name after this Declaration is valid against the People's Trust unless it satisfies all of the following:

Any purported revocation, repudiation, or modification not satisfying these criteria is, on its face, of no force or effect. The Trustee, the Italian Republic Co-Trustee (if accepting), and the OHCHR / ICJ / ECHR observers (if accepting) are authorized and directed to disregard any such defective instrument.

The Halo Doctrine

In the words of the Halo doctrine: the moral-legal frame, the grace of God over just governance, the ring of light visible to every citizen that signifies the Beast has not won. This Declaration is, among other things, an act of placing that ring of light beyond the reach of the Beast or any successor predator.

"The dedications I made on 9 May 2026 are not contingent on my survival. They are not contingent on my freedom. They are not contingent on the continuation of any document, account, or identity attribute that any actor may corrupt. The People retain their rights. The work continues. The remedy is theirs."
