Granna Bytes -- The Word "Volatility"

 By Anna Von Reitz

What has happened?  After ten (10) years of shilly-shally and delays and ignoring Basel III compliance requirements, the cards have been called.  It's more a matter of the timing and the specific conditions under which the Basel III compliance is being enforced, and how it is being enforced, that are noteworthy and arguably wonky.

The Federal Reserve is on the ropes because they still have a seven trillion dollar debt left over from the Big Short in 2008, because the Treasuries market has gone soft, and because the entire basis that they operate on is based on unauthorized and undisclosed "borrowing" of assets belonging to the American people.  

Bottom line, they have nothing extra to loan other banks that may be in trouble because of changes to the "volatility index".  

This is a year-to-year evaluation of "asset classes'.  Assets are rated from Tier 1 to Tier 3.  Cash and actual precious metals are rated as Tier 1 assets and considered liquid and stable.  Tier 2 assets, things like mortgages, are relatively not as liquid and may not be as stable, either, but still represent known value. Tier 3 includes all the risky, locked down, regulated, and questionable assets --- like unallocated silver delivery contracts --- that a bank may carry on its books.  

As a result of what has just gone on in the silver market and the gaping hole it revealed between silver on paper, in the form of delivery contracts which proved to be undeliverable, and actual silver in hand, "unallocated silver" went from being a Tier 1 asset to being a Tier 3 asset overnight.  

This means that the banks must suddenly "cover" that risky Tier 3 asset by holding at least 85% of its purported value as additional Tier 1 assets --- and if it doesn't or can't provide that additional (usually an additional 75% of the value of the silver delivery contracts the bank is holding) Tier 1 liquidity to back the "unallocated silver" contracts, the bank loses its license to operate in the BIS system.

This may soon become a -- yuck-yuck -- silver lining and unforeseen benefit to the smaller banks that are forced out of the central bank system because they got caught holding "unallocated" silver contracts they couldn't cover. 

The bank system will try to imply that these banks that couldn't cover the "extra 75%" of value demand were somehow doing something illegal or wrong.  They weren't.  They were playing by the central bank system rules -- which turned out to be risky.  Now, to cover its own butt, the central bank system has changed the rules with only 72 hours notice.  Over the weekend, no less. 

This becomes a game like Musical Chairs.  There is only so much actual silver in the market, and the math says that it is leveraged 32:1.   That is, they have 32 ounces of paper silver liability for every one ounce of actual silver held by the banks.  

How about cash?  They are in short supply of that, too.  

No matter how you cut it, there aren't enough Tier I assets available in the (very) short term to cover the unallocated silver contracts --- that is, not enough chairs for everyone, and the music just stopped.  

This process will expose large banks that skated the edge of legality without common sense, betting that the fractional reserve of about 10% of the actual metal, was sufficient to carry the demand for physical silver long enough for them to meet their existing delivery contracts. 

They were betting on the come, similar to kiting a check -- which is a  fraud scheme infesting all banks and brokerages that practice "fractional reserve banking".   

The customer thought (and was left to assume) that he was buying actual silver, whether it was "allocated" to him specifically, or was "unallocated" as part of a big pile of silver presumably sitting in a warehouse somewhere. 

Instead, there was no big pile of warehoused silver waiting to be allocated.

The banks greedily oversold silver delivery contracts without having the actual silver in hand.  This would be like selling you a horse and giving you a saddle, instead.  The unallocated silver contracts have value because they are a bank liability -- but a saddle isn't a horse and a silver delivery contract isn't silver. 

The banks never bought the silver they promised to deliver when they received the Buyer's funds and sold the delivery contracts. They just took the funds and skated along, betting that if the customer ever asked for physical silver, they could hurry up and buy enough silver to fulfill the order on the open market. 

The Buyer could do the same.  That's just the point. 

Now that the Dirty Deal, an institutionalized Substitution Fraud Scheme in which silver delivery contracts have been passed off as silver bought and paid for is obvious to the public --- now and only now, the Bank for International Settlements leaps out the closet like the Bogey Man and says, you've got 72 hours to cover these silver delivery contracts with Tier 1 assets, or you are out of business.... 

You can see why this reeks on all sides. 

The banks that the BIS is punishing were allowed to do this by the BIS.  All the banks involved had cause to know that they were doing something risky and fundamentally dishonest, so did the BIS, but it was allowed anyway.  Now, many of these banks will not be able to meet the new Tier 1 holdings requirements in addition to the devaluation of the paper silver contracts from Tier 1 to Tier 3 assets.  

The banks have only three options: somehow come up with enough physical silver or enough physical cash to add to their balance sheets, or face being cut off from the SWIFT monopoly which is a death sentence for them, or -- and here's the third option: they can come home to the land and soil jurisdiction, have their debts paid off, 
and join the Global Family Bank network as a Prosperity Center. 

Among all the other things that people have forgotten, including the difference between fact and fiction, it's time to remember the jurisdiction where all physical assets naturally belong.  

If your local bank is being forced to close its doors because of exposure to derivatives or because it is coming up short and is unable to cover silver delivery contracts it is holding, make sure that they know there is a Third Option.  

Joining the Global Family Bank network is easy and fast and  provides new avenues and new customer bases outside the monopolized central bank and SWIFT systems.  Within a week they can be back up and running with a new asset base, no monopoly to deal with, and a new mission that offers far better rewards.

International Public Notice: The Schtick Again Signed and Sealed ---and Related Public Testimony

 By Anna Von Reitz

The signed and sealed International Public Notice referenced is attached. 


The Public Notice and Action against the administration of the British Crown and Westminster, and specifically against the Office of the United States Secretary of State is as follows: 

(1) Failure to protect the persons of American State Nationals as required by The Constitution of the United States of America, Article IV, from being misidentified and registered as U.S. Citizens while they are helpless, non-cognizant, non-consensual babies; 
(2) Failure to fully inform parents concerning this above-referenced registration and later, failure to inform adult children subjected to British Territorial U.S. Citizen status without their knowledge or consent; 
(3) Failure to provide exemptions from levy and prepaid tax credit owed to Americans required under Federal Code Title XII; 
(4) Failure to create an accessible-to-the-public Mutual Offset Credit Exchange Exemption program allowing Americans to claim their exemptions and use their prepaid tax credit; 
(5) Failure, therefore, to provide remedy required to legalize Federal Reserve Notes as a "legal tender";
(6) Running an illegal currency scam based on misrepresentation and impersonation of Americans, both living and dead, and unlawful conversion of their assets as Crown property and collateral, including the illegal copyrighting of Given Names belonging to American State Nationals;
(7) Running an illegal and unlawful asset confiscation and racketeering scam under color of law, using "district courts" --- both Territorial (Military) Districts operating outside the District of Columbia misaddressing average Americans as British Territorial U.S. Citizens, and Municipal (City) Districts operating outside the City of Washington, DC, and outside the District of Columbia, misaddressing average Americans as "citizens of the United States"; 
(8) Running an illegal and unlawful offshore aggravated identity theft and money laundering scheme using the purloined copyrighted Given Names of American babies to create a British Merchantman's Estate Trust and a Municipal Roman Inferior Trust operated under the Given Names of the American victims; 
(9) Using both the IRS and Internal Revenue Service to construct fictional persons and fictional dossiers connected to the purloined Given Names of the American babies, to create fictional occupations and fictional income streams attached to these foreign persons, and then deliberately operating these fictional public trusts for purposes of illegal latching, illegal takings, false claims in commerce, money laundering and foisting off the debts of "similarly named" foreign corporations on innocent Americans;
(10)  All of the above, Items 6-10, have been calculated as a means to launder income streams, foist foreign corporate debts on living Americans, create offshore generation-skipping trusts in the names of the American victims, and illegally latch upon private property belonging to those same Americans under the pretense that the Americans owe the tax debts and other obligations of the foreign public trusts that have been created using their purloined Given Names --- without their conscious knowledge or consent;
(11) This summary testimony in the form of an affidavit is affirmed, signed, sealed and delivered to the Agents and Employees of the Principals involved in promoting this horrific series of crimes, and so also to the Principals themselves: Notice to Agents is Notice to Principals; Notice to Principals is Notice to Agents; 
(12) We affirm that we have firsthand knowledge of these gross crimes and breaches of trust and violations of Federal Service Contracts known as The Constitution of the United States and The Constitution of the United States of America;
(13) We affirm that our affirmation of these facts and circumstances are true and correct and not misleading, and all that we say within the body of this testimony conforms in land law to the penalties of perjury;
(14) We affirm that millions of Americans have been misrepresented and abused in the above-described manner, that trillions of dollars worth of American land, labor, precious metals, patents, copyrights, and other valuable assets have been purloined and commandeered by British Crown-affiliated and Inner City of London-affiliated and City of Rome-affiliated personnel for purposes of unjust enrichment and coercive control exercised in deliberate deceit, using fraudulent conveyances, aggravated identity theft, and unlawful conversion under color of law;
(15) We affirm that the guilty Territorial and Municipal parent corporations have been employing private armed corporation security personnel and mercenaries disguised as local and "state" police, as "State" National Guards, and  private for-hire mercenaries disguised as some parts of our national military to enforce these monopolies and unknowingly provide the muscle to carry out these trespasses and crimes against average law-abiding Americans; 
(16) We affirm that we ourselves have suffered their harassments, illegal trespasses and illegal seizures and pretenses of trusteeship and ownership interests that are unauthorized and for most Americans, unconscionable, and which involve False Claims of public employees against their employers and against the Public Interest of all Americans; 
(17) We affirm that these criminal activities have been ongoing and protected by deliberate secrecy since May of 1865;
(18) We affirm that no law presented by any Federal Subcontractor or "federalized" State Trust or State-of-State franchise that is not recorded in total and read into the Congressional Record three times for Public Cognizance can be applied to us or any other declared American State National living peaceably in the States of the Union; 
(19) We affirm that our provenance, lawful standing, and intent is fully established on the public records of these corporations and on our own Public Records as well; 
(20) We affirm that we are suffering a continuing pattern of harassment, ignorance, misapplication of law, false legal presumptions, and False Commercial Claims that have been pursued in self-interest by the Federal Service Providers and their State of State and State Trust Agents and Personnel in gross violation of their service contracts and international law;
(21) We affirm recent attempts by the perpetrators to secure settlement of American claims without providing full disclosure to the victims and while pretending to be saviors --- another stinking lot of fraud and deceit carried out under color of law; 
(22) We affirm that these undisclosed settlement offers are being addressed as if these less-than-pennies-on-a-dollar offers complete with unstated citizenship obligations attached, often amounting to a few thousands dollars attached to a lifetime of enslavement, do not amount to any equitable consideration owed to the victims and the victims cannot be forgiving the debts of these perpetrators or holding them harmless or accepting their citizenship, when the victims are kept unaware of the massive debts owed to them, unaware of the consequences of holding these perpetrators harmless, and unaware of the the coercive citizenship obligations attached to this so-called "restitution" and "restoration" payment program; 
(23) We affirm that as a matter of Law and moral decency, the American people must be fully informed;
(24) We affirm that all Americans are owed complete restoration and restitution, as much as possible, in all jurisdictions, air, land, and sea; 
(25) We affirm that we bring this testimony with clean hands and a clear conscience and with good faith, as living progeny and Lawful Persons native to this country and to the nation-states that King George recognized as "free, sovereign, and independent states" referenced in The Treaty of Paris issued in 1783, natural inheritors and claimants of all duties and treaties, service contracts, rights, titles, and material interests owed to this country and to us as living people:

This testimony is to be attached to and incorporated into our signed and sealed International Public Notice: The Schtick Again, being forwarded with this Public Testimony, as an extension and addendum and application of indictment and due process related to the crime(s) and omission(s) that have been practiced against American State Nationals  by our public servants for the past six (6) generations and particularly by the Office of the United States Secretary of State as herein reported.   

Take notice that there is no statute of limitations applicable to crimes of fraud and impersonation, deliberate trespass, treason, unlawful conversion, or inland piracy under color of law. 

Take notice that these issues have already been addressed by our Court of Record and State Court as of April 14th 2014 and are owed immediate correction in our favor by the Principals, and the Trustees and the Administrators and the members of the Bar Associations that are responsible for these crimes and misrepresentations against us. 

Take notice that the unincorporated and lawful government provided by The United States of America, our Federation of States, and by our State Assemblies, remains in operation, is properly provenanced and declared and recorded and has been in Session for more than five (5) years.  No American State National has ever been "stateless" or subject to salvage. 

Take notice that these reported acts of misadministration, misrepresentation, and impersonation resulting in widespread crimes of personage and barratry in both district courts and state-of-state courts have been under judgment and due process since 1998 and there is no plausible excuse nor claim of plausible deniability left for those who fail to recognize the American State Nationals who stand in their lawful capacity and claim their natural rights and contractual exemptions.  

All help, protection, and assistance including exoneration of prior court cases and decisions and enforcement actions undertaken under False Presumptions of public trust interest --- is required

So said, so signed, so sealed and Issued by: 
Anna Maria Riezinger - Fiduciary
The United States of America
In care of: Box 520994
