Imagine the silliness of thinking that a piece of paper could ever be worth an hour of your life? It's loony tunes.
Yet, for billions of people caught in the monopoly interests of the banks, this is reality. They are forced to keep chasing the "almighty buck" even knowing it is worthless, even knowing that even if it were solid gold coinage, yes, even actual money would still be comparatively worthless and inequitable.
Why? Because you can't compare a piece of paper, a gold coin, or any other object to an hour of life. Ask a millionaire who is dying.
Money is a game and it's a lie. So, why enslave ourselves and consign our common future to nonsense? Everything and anything that we have traded is something that was already ours.
In this country, a private consortium of banks calling itself "the Federal Reserve" -- not even a government -- issued "debt notes" representing "government debt" and uses it as a private, monopolized currency known as a "bank scrip".
Where have we heard that word "scrip" before? During the Industrial Revolution, miners and others involved in industrial resource extraction work and factory workers were paid in "company scrip" -- basically coupons that could be exchanged for goods at the "company store".
With a captured consumer market and control of the "value" printed on the monopolized scrip, abuses soon developed. Goods available at the Company Store often cost several times more than the same goods on the open market. And if the workers could live on what the company paid them, they became indebted to the Company Store.
Once that happened, they couldn't leave the factory or mining job until they finished paying off this debt. They were coerced into this system by their employer and victimized by this monopoly interest crime. They were effectively enslaved.
This is what Tennessee Ernie Ford was talking about in his iconic song, "16 Tons". Remember the line, "I owe my soul to the company store"? That song was written in 1948 by Merle Travis. It wasn't about coal miners in the nineteenth century. It was about coal miners in Kentucky just after the Second World War.
Now imagine a whole country, this country, managed according to the same model? A monopolized sole-source scrip, the Federal Reserve Note, issued by a Municipal Corporation calling itself variously, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. A captive work force. Being taxed to pay "government" debt, but which government are we talking about?
The British Territorial Government operating as "the United States of America, Incorporated" --- a Federal services vendor. Not America. Not the actual unincorporated Federation of States called The United States of America.
There you have the Federal Reserve System in a nutshell. They used the same Company Store model used by Cecil Rhodes in South Africa, and secretly insinuated it in the confusion during and after the so-called American Civil War -- right here in America.
They profited unjustly by misidentifying Americans as U.S. Citizens and/or citizens of the United States, misapplying all their taxes and mortgages to us, while purloining our assets as collateral backing all their "government" debts.
But those promoting these acts and assumptions, aren't really a government at all.
They are government services vendors, one a British Territorial Commercial Corporation, and the other, a Municipal Corporation calling itself some variety of "United States, Inc.".
The Municipal Federal Reserve System was bankrupted in 2009, but its evil has lingered, and neither the people of this country or the people of other countries victimized by the British Empire responsible for this have ever received any of the remedies used to "legalize" this illegal bull crap.
Even now, the Trump Administration is selling "badges" to identify loyal Tories and are trying to limit wealth distributions owed as restitution to all Americans enslaved by their corporations to their friends and cronies identified as U.S. Citizens, while at the same time, ripping off even their friends and cronies.
Let me say this again, clearly, succinctly -- Trump Administration is trying to limit restitution to U.S. Citizens, but U.S. Citizens were not the only or even primary victims of this vile and illegal and unlawful scam.
The American people as a whole bore the brunt of this and everyone born in this country or naturalized to it, deserves not only their share, but their full share.
Which brings us to the second point of ripping off even their friends and cronies. The Trump Administration proposes to return a few thousand dollars as restitution for the enslavement of millions over the course of the past 150 years. They are offering this piddling "settlement" without disclosure, betting that their ignorant employees and political supporters will take this "offer" and leave billions sitting on the table for the Perps to swallow up as a "private matter".
Get a clue, Gents, it's not private. The crimes of the Committee of 300 and the British Empire and the Roman Pontiff are fully known. All those people stuck loading 16 ton of number nine coal are due their remedy and recompense, too. Not just the officers of the King's Navy who happened to be born here.
Those who were and are owed Mutual Offset Credit Exchange Exemptions and who were never allowed to exercise this option--- that is, debt swaps to offset any tax or public mortgage obligations, are all owed full remedy and restitution, plus interest.
Either that, or the whole Federal Reserve System has to be recognized as an illegal criminal monopoly conspiracy and the Federal Reserve Note recognized as an illegal currency, since 1934.
Now, we are told that the Federal Reserve has been absorbed into the U.S. Treasury and all sorts of collateral and assets have been discovered. This is another ruse, trying to cast off the blame and the cost and the responsibility on the customer -- the U.S. Treasury -- and bilk the American people, again, by introducing "new owners" who are saddled with the undisclosed debts of the old owners -- whether they know it or not.
This is the same ruse that George Washington and George II pulled on the Lenape and Delaware Natives, who had a firm treaty from the King, promising not to colonize beyond the Cumberland Gap. As soon as Geo. Washington, the largest landowner in America saw the land lying beyond the Cumberland Gap, he cut a deal with his Cousin, George II, to become the New Owners.
This ploy is used over and over again. However, since the British Crown has been at sea since 1702, they were and are acting as pirates, and under the International Law of the Sea, possession by pirates does not change ownership. King George II and his descendants owe the Delaware and Lenape settlement in gold.
The New Owners didn't owe the treaty obligation but George II did.
Furthermore, in this present instance, giving over the assets of the American people that the Federal Reserve purloined along with the debts the Federal Reserve accrued against those assets to the U.S. Government headed by Donald Trump in no way settles the debt owed to rank and file Americans, nor does it achieve justice.
Perhaps 10-12% of the assets purloined as collateral by the Federal Reserve belonged to U.S. Government and "United States" citizens ---- all the rest of the loot belongs to the American public, the people who are native to the States of the Union.
The Crown Estate owes all of us the return of our Given Names and the copyrights they purloined, all the land titles they created when they illegally and immorally seized upon our land and trespassed on our soil under conditions of non-disclosure and color of law. It also owes us the return of our gold and silver, which was cashiered and used as collateral for their spending and luxuries and war-mongering through two World Wars and countless smaller incursions.
This is not a debt owed by the British people who have been harmed as much and more than we Americans have been. This is not a debt owed by any average man or woman in any of the countries that have been subjected to this heinous and illegal and unlawful and immoral scam which has promoted both peonage and enslavement under the Company Store model promoted and implemented by the British Empire.
It has been suggested that we should be "emancipated" because we were enslaved by these criminals, but in fact, we are not slaves. We were born free men and women and we still are and we always were. Their gross betrayal of trust, their dishonor and disgrace, their violation of their service contracts, does not change who we are nor does it change what we are owed.
Our freedom. Our assets. Our good names. Our full share. The return of our homes and lands seized to pay debts we never owed, is first and foremost, along with the payment of our credit, and return of our gold and silver.
The debts of the Federal Reserve like the debts of the Inner City of London and the Roman Pontiff cannot be passed on to new owners.
The assets have to be returned and the debts repaid as prepaid credit.
We are launching the Heritage Dollar -- our prepaid credit currency. This currency is based on actual goods and services already paid in inequitable exchange for "Federal Reserve Notes" that have never been paid.
This credit is humongous and already on the books, more than sufficient to discharge all National Debts, all mortgages, all credit card debts, all property taxes, and similar debts accrued under the Company Store model.
Notice to Agents is Notice to Principals; Notice to Principals is Notice to Agents.
We suggest that Mr. Trump and others who are responsible for returning the wealth of America to all Americans born in this country or lawfully naturalized in this country to the actual owners -- not only U.S. Citizens.
No badges required.
We have "returned" home despite all the efforts of the foreign bureaucrats to illegally ignore our standing on these issues.
We claim our freedom, our Good Names, our land and our soil, our American Admiralty Law, our souls.
If anyone had cause to argue or protest against the self-evident truth, they had seven (7) years of Due Process to enter their objections. This protest period closed in 2014.
The crimes of criminals do not surprise us. The crimes of ordinary men against their fellow man are what surprise us. When we should join in common cause to eradicate the common enemies of humanity, too often we try to "interpret" our way out of what is simply true.
The Truth is that we have been robbed and grossly disserved by our Federal Service Contractors. Their Principals are responsible for this. Shifting the ownership of the Federal Reserve to the U.S. Treasury cannot be interpreted as dissolving the responsibility of the Principals, nor can it be used as an excuse for withholding remedies owed to the American people.
Take notice and be advised. We are exercising our prepaid credit and we have already issued our American monetary standards. The American Federation Dollar and the Heritage prepaid credit are both being launched and both are based on physical assets owed to us, as well as repayment owed for actual labor and services performed.
Mr. Trump --- an illegal and unlawful monopoly of both currency and commodity markets, coupled with a transfer monopoly in the banking industry, and illegal and unlawful securitization of living flesh, must be brought to an end with no more funny business.
No more False Claims. No more False Pretenses. No more veiled undisclosed "offers" seeking to purloin settlement of debts that are also undisclosed.
The States of the Union are here. The People are here. We never left. We claim our debts, our credits, and our heritage. We claim our Good Names and our freedom, not just "liberty" from the King's Navy. We claim our land and soil, and we order our Federal Employees to stand down, cease and desist from any other legal presumptions or claims to the contrary.
Take notice. This claim is fully stated in the public records and corroborated fully in correspondence over the past 27 years.
We are and we were always owed good faith service.
Make it so.
