Urgent: Think About Money -- As a Subject, Not a Goal

 By Anna Von Reitz

In the Article(s) about Joe's Hamburger Shop, I took everyone through a typical transaction everyone can relate to--- a customer presents a "Federal Reserve Note" I.O.U. to Joe, and Joe gives him a hamburger in return. Joe now holds an I.O.U. "good for" a specific amount of "credit". 

The "bill" --- literally, the physical "Bill of Exchange", was "discharged" by the payment of the hamburger.  This is called a "Zero Sum Transaction".  
The debt note was discharged by the hamburger (credit).  There is no net debt or credit left.  

What should happen --in theory-- is for the "bill" to be returned to the Federal Reserve and accounted for, but the bookkeeping would be inconvenient for the schemers and printing costs would cut into profits.  So, instead, the discharged "bill" becomes Joe's "proof of credit" when he goes to the grocery store to buy buns and pickles. 

And on and on it goes, as we constantly "pass the buck". 

Do you notice anything else odd about this system?  

Essentially, you borrow a hamburger.  All these debt-credit systems do is "profit by borrowing",  Nobody actually pays for anything, ever, unless they barter.  

Some people profit fairly and without violence, and some take the other route, but at the end of the day, the books have to balance. Why? 

Because the whole system is functioning based on Zero Sum Transactions. No ultimate gain or loss is possible in the absence of theft or coercion. 

Unfortunately, we have suffered plenty of theft and coercion. 

Theft occurs in the form of inflation (a hidden tax), unremunerated taxation and seizures by confiscation, undisclosed (and non-consensual) securitization and monetization of assets, counterfeiting, false claims (like the ridiculous "National Debt" and equally ridiculous "interest" owed on the non-existent debt), and numerous other injustices and means of chiseling employed to cheat or defraud.  

Unremunerated taxation includes taxing anyone for anything that they receive no benefit from --- like taxing Joe Average American to pay off college debts for strangers, or snow removal in Amarillo, or the defense spending of entire European countries.  

Coercion includes things like the Internal Revenue Service/IRS both presuming foreign citizenship obligations on Americans and forcing them --- yes, at gun point --- to pay "Federal Income Taxes" when they literally have no Federal Income to tax, and haven't knowingly adopted any form of Federal citizenship.  

You may wonder how we and the rest of the world got into such a mess? 

It started in the immediate aftermath of the American Civil War -- and the dilemma arose because of the Constitutions. 

The Constitutions require the Federal Government to operate on credit.  
The States are only allowed to operate on gold and silver. 

Obviously, those who commandeered our government under the pretense of an undisclosed military protectorate could not pay themselves with assets belonging to us, so how to raise abundant credit?  

Answer: they assumed trusteeship over our assets, borrowed against our assets, and helped themselves to the resulting credit--- even though the credit belongs to us, too.  

Later, they would bring outrageous claims to the effect that our assets were "abandoned" and that our government was in "interregnum", "missing" and "presumed lost" ---- all of which we have stoutly rebutted and counterclaimed, but suffice it to say, while the cats slept, the mice played. A lot. 

Still later, they began counterfeiting the debt notes on a vast scale, which resulted in equally vast inflation and money laundering operations of all kinds, that fueled all sorts of illicit criminal activity and made it harder for Grandma to buy a Laz-E-Girl recliner.  

In a few days, weeks at most, there will be an announcement by the "United States Treasury" --- actually, the International Monetary Fund, which has been functioning as the "United States Treasury" since 1924, that Federal Reserve Notes will no longer be honored.  

They may or may not be honest enough to tell you why --- that these "notes" have been counterfeited to the point where they are no longer viable representations of debt or credit. 

Even though all this has been ongoing for decades right in front of all the regulatory agency noses here and abroad, everyone benefiting from this "system" kept mum.  And they have done nothing sufficient  to prepare for a transition from FRNs. 

There have been numerous smooth transitions between forms of currency, such as the transition from "Silver Certificates" and the current form of "Federal Reserve Note" which occurred in the 1970's.  The new currency was introduced in exchange for the Silver Certificates and gradually removed from circulation to reduce the debt burden on the banks. 

This time, there will be no exchange, because of all the counterfeiting and Odious Debt that the Perpetrators allowed to accrue. 

The new so-called United States Treasury Notes that are proposed as gold-backed replacement currency by the IMF are not printed and available in sufficient quantity to do any kind of smooth transition, and since the IMF is unable and unwilling to own up to its culpability, nobody will be able to buy USTNs with FRNs. 

Read that: the military scrip you have been using as money for decades will be officially worthless.  It really always was monopoly money and now everyone will get a chance to see that they were basically stealing credit that belonged to the American people and using it "as" money, ever since the so-called Civil War. 

The roots of this current debacle were founded, as usual, in England, in 1882 with the Bills of Exchange Act, which considers a Bill of Exchange --a category of commercial paper including Promissory Notes--- to be the "same as cash".  

This was the foundational basis of the use of "Notes" in lieu of cash and the entire credit bonanza being made available for government spending instead of being returned to the people it belonged to. 

Only the Sovereign or, in our case, Sovereign People, can issue Bills of Exchange, and obviously, England would be at a disadvantage with only one Queen to issue IBOEs if millions of Americans were enabled to issue IBOE's, so the Perps gratuitously "redefined" us as government employees and dependents in order to deprive us of: (1) control of our assets, (2) the benefit of our own credit, and (3) our ability to issue IBOE's. 

Now, they want to switch things around so that when we, the Sovereign People, issue IBOE's as a means of exchange, they only pay out 10% to us and keep the 90% for the banks.  

That is, if I as a member of the Sovereign People issue an International Bill of Exchange in the amount of say, $2,000,000.00, the banks will credit me with $200,000.00 and keep the rest. 

If all of this sounds like lunacy, it is. 

Individual people should not be going around writing International Bills of Exchange based on the resources of their country without any Fiduciary Office or responsibility or accountability attached to their actions.  

Look at what 515 piglets in Congress and the Executive Branch and so-called Judicial Branch have managed to spend "for" us?  

None of these people have or accept any Fiduciary responsibility and as they occupy no Public Office should clearly not have any right to control our assets or abuse our credit.  

Someone finally noticed.  We did.
