Granna Bytes: When People Lose Their Minds and Get Hysterical

 By Anna Von Reitz

The whole up and down fiasco in the silver markets of the world the last couple weeks left many people feeling like there was no safe place to be, as if they were in free fall, or else, as if no matter what they did to try to protect themselves and their families, the evil gubmint had an answering way to defraud and cheat them. 

Well, it does.  

If the price of silver goes down -- either paper silver or actual silver, then your investment in silver is only "marking time".  No great amounts of profit are to be realized, especially from "unallocated silver" --- and you wind up preserving your earning power with maybe a three or four-fold profit realized over a period of years, or if you are holding paper silver, possibly no profit at all or even a loss. 

Think about all the people stuck holding "unallocated silver" by these fraud artists?  They paid for physical silver at some time in the past. The people they bought it from didn't have any actual silver on hand and they didn't run out and buy any physical silver, either.  They just bet on a large number of folks never actually asking for their silver to be delivered.  

This is called "leveraging" and it is only made possible, because the commodities exchanges were allowed to indulge in the same patently criminal practice as the banks.  They were allowed to apply "fractional reserve banking" practices to other commodities in addition to Federal Reserve Notes. 

As a result, there were 32 ounces of "paper silver" sold to customers, for every 1 ounce of actual silver in the vault.  

All those people caught holding the other 31 ounces of paper silver had their delivery contracts voided under "force majeure" provisions, and what did they receive back?  

An amount equal to their purchase price in devalued paper currency. 

They actually lost money, because the paper currency has devalued more since the time they originally thought they bought silver as a hedge against this sort of thing. 

If the price of silver skyrockets, then the rats are there with their hands out, either shutting the dealers down, or taxing you at the exchanges so they take half your profit, or, last but not least, laying plans to confiscate what is yours. 

But remember, they can only do this because you are being mistaken as a British Subject, and it's up to you to complain about this to the United States Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, and their President, Donald J. Trump, and the International Court of Justice and Interpol and everyone else in the world who has ears to hear.  

Including your fellow Americans, who will certainly be appalled to learn that they, too, are purportedly British Subjects --- a status that they refused a long, long time ago, and need to refuse --- lawfully and with certainty, now.  

Also remember that unless a "law" is read into the Congressional Record three times, it can't apply to you. And if there is no parent corporation law that applies to you, there can't be a franchise statute that applies to you concerning any such federal law, either. 

Don't let them "presume" anything about you.  

And keep on bringing them to account for it, no matter what it takes or how long. 

The vote today in Parliament not to honor requests to investigate royal rape rampages is indication enough that the Brits lack the moral fortitude to face facts, and if the U.S. Congress doesn't back water and if Mr. Trump and his entourage don't stop equivocating --- if they don't actually arrest and punish people for the horrid things they did under Epstein's influence --- the British Territorial Congress and Administration will prove itself no better than Parliament. 

However, it's never over until we say it's over.  And we won't say it's over until the estimated 50,000 British girls raped and/or trafficked by mostly Pakistani rape gangs and groomers, and all those children harmed by Jeffrey Epstein, have justice. 

All these distractions and upsets have got people a bit unbalanced. 

They start panicking and feeling around like they lost their glasses, and they start squawking and making negative assumptions about everything and everyone, and pretty soon, instead of realizing that the Trump Administration hasn't really acted upon the Epstein files by exposing them ---- I get complaints.  

I am not being "transparent" enough.  I am not doing my job.  I am not doing it fast enough.  I am not protecting people well enough. And this even morphs into, I must be a fraud, etc., etc., etc.

This is what being panicked and frustrated does.  Common sense flies right out the window.  

If I were out to cheat you out of your inheritance, why would I take all the actions I've taken on the public record, and tell you about what I did?  Why would I bother to create a way for you to claim back your birthright estate?  Why even bring it up? 

Clearly, if I were a cheat or a liar, I would do what all the other cheats and liars have done --- go behind your backs and steal you blind and never tell you a word about it.  

So, I had a long talk with "California Lost It" via text and showed her why all the "transparency" she was raving about wasn't actually appropriate at this point of the game and not prudent for someone obligated to act according to the Prudent Man Standard. 

Perhaps while some of the rest of you are bubbling on that same crisis point of blind unreasoning panic and frustration, I should point out a few things about the actual process of recoupment. 

First, you have to contact retired and reserve Army Generals -- those who are honest -- and explain the whole situation, who you are, and you bring forward records and other information in support.  

Second, they chew on it and decide you are not a nutcase. 

Third, they have to garner support for taking action through military and financial services networks here and in other countries. 

Fourth, the militaries and financial regulators and yes, financial crimes experts have to take various actions to get records and accountability from the banks --- literally shake them down. 

Fifth, all the recording, collecting, moving, inventorying, assaying and secure vault storage has to be arranged. 

Sixth, the recovered assets have to be ledgered in a bank system that is honest, but --- there isn't one.  So you have to build your own bank system, too.  

Seventh, throughout all this, you have to keep the military honest and try to prevent what is happening right now under the Trump Administration.  

The temptation for the military is to keep control of the assets  themselves, and offer the victims half a penny on a dollar (or less) as settlement of the victim's claims, which is what they are attempting to run past us right now. 

All the rest, trillions of dollars, is kept in the military's hands, doled out according to military regulation, and used for military purposes --- mostly paying politicians off and "investing" in technology. 

It's our job as non-citizen nationals, and as Foreign Sovereigns with respect to them, and as their employers, to convince them that we know what is going on and no, we aren't British Subjects. 

Please bear in mind that this is taking place against a backdrop of history where megatons of our gold has been shipped offshore for "safekeeping" by the U.S. Navy, and been ratholed in central banks and bunkers in the Philippines, and more bunkers all over the world.  

Also bear in mind that the Japanese sacked the Philippines and its gold bunkers during WWII and transported large quantities of our gold to their coffers worldwide.  It's taken decades to begin recouping all of that.  

Also during WWII, the Nazis stripped everyone in Western Europe bare and took the spoils to numbered Swiss bank accounts at the same time.  (The Brits weren't stripped bare, but they might as well have been --- they had to spend everything they had including their lives to win.) 

Also, realize that our gold and all our other assets, including our labor, was "securitized" to pay for the Marshall Plan and other similar support to rebuild the world after WWII.  That has not been paid back. 

Know that we continued to occupy Western Europe and pay the price for Europe's defense from 1945 to the present; Trump is just now getting around to ending this sweetheart deal, protecting our trade markets, and letting NATO pay for its own continued war-mongering. 

Also, realize that large quantities of gold were discovered in this country in the Grand Canyon; this massive gold hoard was left behind by a race of people, at least some known to be giants, who used proto-Egyptian hieroglyphics and hid everything in caves --- a discovery that was promptly covered back up by the Smithsonian Museum and the Powell Family. 

It went down like the final scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark.... it all got packed up and sent to the Smithsonian Museum, presumably to be warehoused there.  And it disappeared.

While we are at it, where have we heard that name, Powell, before?

Major John Wesley Powell, who led the first military exploration of the Grand Canyon in 1869 and saw portions of it that have been closed to the public ever since.  And Jerome Powell, Ex-Federal Reserve Chairman, of course. 

Massive amounts of gold and giant skeletons never accounted for, military involvement, the name Powell.  
  
We will never know how much of all that artifact gold was stolen and melted down in Mexico, but there's still a mountain of artifacts to be sorted out and secured and analyzed and put in a museum that has yet to be built. We don't know yet if the DNA, which is over 10,000 years old, will connect to Native American tribes that still live along and in the chasm of the Grand Canyon today.  

This is not some neat and tidy business of walking into a bank and identifying yourself as the account holder and talking politely about large gold deposits that you --- or in this case -- you and people you represent, are heir to.  

It's more like being Indiana Jones. Or his scruffy girlfriend. 

It's dirty.  It's dangerous.  It's imprecise.  A lot we just have to guess at and make the best guess we can. The bankers smirk at you and lie, or alternatively admit that you probably are the account holder, since you have the records and know the secret hand-shakes, but then they balk and pretend that you owe them millions of dollars (payola) in past due storage fees that have to be taken care of before they can discuss these "delinquent accounts".  

And, curiously, they never, ever, want to talk about how much money they made by "managing" and securitizing these assets and trading them or using the resulting credit for investments and loans for decades at a time. 

Did you know that just one (1) gold mine on Native American Treaty land yielded 198 million ounces of gold --?  And the Native people who owned that land fair and square, never got a cent?  They are still being lied to and cheated, being told that if they take restitution for the gold, they lose their claim to the land of the Black Hills, which is sacred to them.  

Pardon me?  If someone extracts your tooth from your head, is it still your tooth?  And still your head?  If the gold came from Indian land, doesn't the gold belong to the Indians?  And don't they still own the land?  
'
This is the kind of crappola that I have to slog through every day that I live --- every kind of illogical, greedy, small-minded, nasty, criminal scheme you can imagine --- just designed to profit one group of people over another, get a middleman position over someone else's assets, or get them to "settle" their claims for a song.  

You want to see someone who is frustrated and angry and has been ---both--- for most of the past forty years?  Come visit your Granna.  

Let me sit you down and share the moment when Hunter and I realized that we'd have to provide a retail level bank system for individual people all over the world, not just a bank-to-bank system, and not just a maritime commercial system, oh, no.  

We'd also have to organize and launch a land-based commercial bank system, too, plus an international trade bank system, and to make use of the credit that's been endlessly stockpiled (oh, yeah, build it up in "Heaven") --- prosperity unions, too.  

Doing it all was the only way to save lives. 

When the curtain comes down and lights go out, when the military realizes that it doesn't have the ownership and skills required....

Then there will be a handful of people, a much smaller group, with far less support than the RAF in World War II, holding the door open for you.   

The assets will all be accounted for in the records of the new Treasury.  

As each new clump of assets is recovered by military and later, court processes, it will be added to the Treasury, but it's still unlikely that you as a member of the general public will have free access to all the Treasury records and account information.  

Why is that?  There isn't a sovereign treasury on Earth that is that transparent.  Instead, they all regularly lie through their teeth and fake each other out about how much of this or that asset they actually have. 

It's like publishing how many tanks and fighter aircraft and all the other machinery you have in your arsenal.  

Being too loose-lipped about your asset base can lead to attacks, and that is probably what happened with the recent ComEx meltdown of the paper silver market --- at least in part. 

Someone found out that the ComEx vaults weren't holding nearly enough silver, which inspired setting up a silver squeeze.  The culprits are probably members of the ComEx and JP Morgan and Federal Reserve gangs --- culprits that have huge physical silver stashes that are unaccounted for, that they held ready to sell into the sudden high demand market they created. 

Call me cynical, but don't call me stupid.  And don't expect me to be "transparent".  You can use your own ears and eyes and brains.  None of this stuff is that hard to figure out.  Buy low, sell high.  Create the problem, profit from the problem.  

Your Granna isn't a whiner, doesn't show her cards, and isn't afraid. 

That should tell you something.  It should tell you that against all odds, the Americans have been recognized and we don't have to pretend to be British Subjects to get a few pennies back of what is ours.   

We know we are owed the whole enchilada. And control of it, too. 

In spite of everything, with no gubmint support, we built the necessary bank system----the whole, huge architecture necessary to deliver retail level accounts for eight billion people, as well as all the bank-to-bank and service-to-service systems to support this.  

So before anyone else loses their mind and wants to scream and panic and make accusations against me or our Global Family Bank system --- stop and think.  Use your own brains.  We got this far. 

We are indeed in the presence of thugs and crooks and cronies. We have to deal with them and their greasy corruption -- bit by bit and day by day, we have to overcome them, bring them home, show them that there is a better way.  

And we have to do that while honoring the Prudent Man Standard every step.  For all our sakes.
