Decades ago, a good man named John Fletcher, had a brainstorm. He looked at all the gold and silver sitting around in banks and bullion reserves all over the world, and he said to himself --- what a waste!
Those assets should be doing some good in the world....
Of course, he was right. As John ruminated about the Federal Reserve and how "fractional reserve banking" worked --- essentially allowing the banks to profit off other people's assets with no risk to themselves --- why not expand the concept to governments and private investors and allow them to profit in the same way?
Vast amounts of credit could be created and unleashed for the benefit of mankind, the investors could invest with absolutely no risk to their assets..... and the World Bank went along with it. The concept of Platform Trading was born.
The mechanism is simple enough.
A person or organization with a billion dollars or more in gold reserves agrees to "block" this asset on deposit with a bank, and simply leave it sitting there in that bank, for a specified period of time.
The period of time that an asset is blocked may be short term, medium term, or long term.
Different platforms, assets, and amounts of assets result in different arrangements, but generally speaking, the asset-holder gets an amount of credit (fiat) equal to the total value of the blocked asset right off the top --- as if he sold the asset, but didn't.
He retains the asset, and gets credit in fiat currency equal to the value of the asset, as if he had sold the asset outright.
Read that as many times as necessary.
Because "reserve banking" allows the issuance of credit equal to ten times the value of the asset, this pay off to the asset holder represents only one-tenth of the total trade.
In the example, the total trade on one billion dollars worth of blocked gold bullion is ten billion dollars in bank credit/fiat currency.
The asset holder gets one billion in bank credit/fiat currency right off the top.
That leaves nine billion in fiat to play with.
The owner of the Trade Platform typically gets one tenth of the total trade, plus residuals on subsequent trades during the life of the blocked asset agreement, @ 2.5 billion in fiat.
The asset-owner gets additional residual payments, usually equal to around 3.5 billion more in fiat over the course of the arrangement, 4.5 billion in fiat, total. Somewhere around 300 and 400 percent profit over the term life of the arrangement.
The rest is profit, which is supposed to be spent on philanthropy, but which is funneled back into investments, instead. Tongue in cheek -- for "future philanthropy", of course.
Strange how heaven is always after you die.
So the asset holders do nothing but collect huge revenues off their assets with no risk to themselves or the assets, the banks hosting the trading platforms benefit like bandits with no risk, and the rest is recouped as fiat investment capital for banks, insurance companies, governments, and anyone who happens to have a billion or more in physical assets.
Of course, pension funds and later, pension associations, wasted no time in investing in gold, silver, and other physical assets which could qualify for the purpose of this platform trading, too. That dried up available physical assets and created a huge unnatural demand for anything that could be assigned a value and "monetized".
It was this "sequestering" of all gold, silver, land, and other physical assets by this new market demand that resulted in the 1970's-80's in latching upon the value of physical labor and performances, and its monetization via labor bonds, seizure of non-existent ownership interests in patents, trademarks, copyrights, and even Given Names as "Intellectual Property" --- and the Blood Money system that has reduced nearly everyone on this planet to the status of a commodity, a corporate franchise, or a subject of peonage and enslavement.
There is more to Platform Trading, of course, as anything like this inevitably draws flies. More services, more oversight, more hands get in the pie over time, including insurance vendors and security services and government oversight committees and bank regulators force their way in.
To date, not a penny is known to have been spent on philanthropy.
The poor have simply gotten poorer while what represents wealth in this world has gotten inestimably richer -- at least on paper -- at no risk to itself. The Big Lie that started in Babylon has now morphed into a planetary-scale gob of green goo.
Investors found the perfect investment that provided over 300% guaranteed profit with no effort and no risk. Why would they ever bother to invest in anything else?
This has caused a lot of weird things in the marketplace that Joe Q. Public has had no means to understand.
The amount of bank credit held on the bank ledgers has exploded to unbelievable amounts, while the terrified bankers have struggled to "spend it wisely" and "show a profit for the Public Trust" at the same time they have been sitting on an inevitable powder keg of hyperinflation or currency destruction -- take your pick.
The Bank of England estimates that the amount of credit owed to the American Government alone stands at something like 2.2 times ten to the fifteenth power. But the effect of releasing this would be to cause hyperinflation and devaluation of whatever currency this credit was denominated in. Even if we spread it out and released it in all current world currencies, it would simply create more hyperinflation across all those currencies.
So the bankers and governments are left with a pig-in-a-poke called "infinity accounts", a few ultra-wealthy individuals are dancing around and making proclamations about how they are going to release funds for the good of humanity while their good intentions (if implemented as expressed) can only have the exact opposite practical effect, the original goal of financing philanthropic projects has never come close to being realized, and whole Earth groans under the burden of Odious Debt.
Oh, John. What have you done? This is a perfect example of how one good man with good intentions can inadvertently, like Mrs. O'Leary's cow, dump over the milk bucket and cause a fire in one fell swoop.
The practice of Platform Trading in tandem with Fractional Reserve Banking (what I call check kiting by any other name) has resulted in the insane proliferation of unearned credit and Odious Debt, and hardly anyone has come to terms with the difference between limited, inelastic physical assets and unlimited, elastic debt-credit systems.
You have a rock in one hand and a huge gob of self-perpetuating bubble gum in the other. What to do?
Shut down Platform Trading for a start, because its continuance just makes things worse.
Erase all Odious Debt, including all "National Debts", and public debts of all kinds, which means all corporate debts and bank loans.
Release the credit owed to the living people in a reasonable and controlled way, so that they have all that they need, based on their own efforts and those of their ancestors for the past six generations.
Release the credit owed to the governments in a reasonable and controlled way, so that they have all that they need for public infrastructure and services.
Re-establish the clear difference between international trade and commerce.
Teach the difference between asset-backed trades and debt-credit transactions.
Teach the difference between public and private sectors.
Contemplate the evils and limits of all such transactional systems based on symbolic value. Seek alternatives.
Reduce the importance of both "money" and "credit" in the world, so that the importance of life and health and happiness comes back into view.
The Trading Platforms are the Hidden Engine driving all this insanity and it must come to a stop. The profits from this practice must be used to promote the endeavors of peace and security and education and health and environmental preservation that John Fletcher intended.
Not more corporate "power" being exercised against living people. Not more banks engaged in more criminal practices. Not more crooked courts. Not more mercenary wars. Not more bunko served up like warm salads.
We need honest, practical, and determined action to clean up this Mess and so far, every single one of the men who have been asked to help, have instead fallen into ego, lies, and self-interest.
Just look at what "Judge" Adriaan Fondse is advocating: let the Platform Trading continue, and further destroy the value of credit and increase the investment pressure on every possible physical asset.
Then steal the assets of one family trust and the profits owed to it, give those assets to other family trusts, and use ten newly discovered (by the CIA?) heirs as the figureheads to distribute private gold and credit to billions of account holders.
This is just more manipulation, more lies, more avoidance of reality and accountability. Meanwhile, the actual situation is what it is, and the longer we dance around and try to pretend that it's something else, the worse it gets.
I am the Fiduciary for this country known as The United States, and its living people, and I am the Principal Public and Private Trustee for the D'Avila Family Trust assets, the last known Donor-Beneficiary of the St. Germain Trust, and Public Trustee of the V.K. Durham Trust, along with millions of individual "legacy" and "heritage" trusts, corporate franchises, and corporations.
I want this Mess settled, honorably, compassionately, and sensibly, by New Year's Day 2027, and I am reasonably sure that it can be done. The workers -- all of them, both public sector and private sector -- deserve their pay and their peace. The living people deserve their safety and respect.
The bankers, attorneys, and corporate governments -- most of them, deserve a swift kick where it hurts, but until we figure out a truly new basis going forward, they need to be lawfully converted back to the land jurisdiction and need to operate under land law from now on.
This is the change and the transition back to sanity that is badly needed on a worldwide basis right now, and I advise everyone to seize the opportunity to be renewed and transformed.
