"Lawful" in What Sense?

By Anna Von Reitz

This morning I have had a rash of emails and calls from people who have gone to their banks and issued their demand for their accounts to be "denominated" in "lawful money".  In return, the bankers are offering them a classic Bunko excuse.  To quote directly:

"In 1933, Congress changed the law so that all U.S. coins and currency (including Federal Reserve notes), regardless of when issued, constitutes "legal tender" for all purposes. Federal and state courts since then have repeatedly held that Federal Reserve notes are also "lawful money." Milam v. U.S., 524 F.2d 629 (9th Cir. 1974), is typical of the federal and state court cases holding that Federal Reserve notes are "lawful money." In Milam, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reviewed a judgment denying relief to an individual who sought to redeem a $50 Federal Reserve Bank Note in "lawful money." The United States tendered Milam $50 in Federal Reserve notes, but Milam refused the notes, asserting that "lawful money" must be gold or silver. The Ninth Circuit, noting that this matter had been put to rest by the U.S. Supreme Court nearly a century before in the Legal Tender Cases (Juilliard v. Greenman), 110 U.S. 421 (1884), rejected this assertion as frivolous and affirmed the judgment."

My students have long ago learned to pay attention to exactly how words are presented --- how they are capitalized or not --- and also to look up legal meanings of words.  The word "lawful" is not capitalized and when you look up the meaning of "lawful" it is simply whether or not something is subject to a system of laws. 

Nobody would argue that Lincoln's Greenbacks or the present Federal Reserve Notes are not subject to a system of law --- and therefore can be described as "lawful money" even though they are "legal tender", but at the same time Legal Tender is not Lawful Money, as in actual money. 

Legal tender of the Federal Reserve Note kind is called "Money of Account" --- meaning credit --- for a reason. The reason for that is that the actual asset backing it, is not present.  So credit is being extended in the belief that there is an actual asset, something of value, backing the "Note" which is in fact an I.O.U.

In the case of Lincoln's Greenbacks, they were being backed by Treasury Bonds issued to investors who brought in actual gold and silver to purchase the Bonds for a period of 10 or 40 years (the origin of the "1040" Form) with the expectation that after that time period elapsed, the bonds would "mature" and the banks would pay out the principal plus interest also in gold or silver.

Instead what happened is that the banks issued  "legal tender" -- that is, credit as repayment, and there was a mini-rebellion in the 1880's when investors in the original Treasury Bonds objected to receiving "credit" instead of actual gold or silver as their reward for buying Lincoln's "Ten or Forty" Bonds.

Issuing credit, as we have learned, actually costs the banks nothing actual and factual, so they take in gold and silver and extend "credit"  as "legal tender" and stand there acting as if this is a legitimate and equitable transaction when it clearly is not.  

The US Supreme Court stooped to the level of using "words and terms of art" to create an appearance that it was all okay -- "lawful money" as opposed to "Lawful Money" --- but it still isn't okay and credit is still not the same as actual money.

Actual money has value as a commodity in and of itself.  Gold and silver are "Lawful Money" because you can sell both in the marketplace as separate, free-standing commodities. United States Notes are also "lawful money" backed by oil assets.  To avoid this bit of legal charlatanism, call it "actual money" or "Lawful Money" and explain it to the banks if they question your demand for "Lawful Money".  

In fact, the demand for "lawful money" in the context of 12 USC 411 already tells the banks that any "notes" that they credit to your account need to be "denominated as "United States Notes" not "Federal Reserve Notes" because in the context of 12 USC 411 that is the only interpretation possible, unless of course, the banks want to start backing their credit with totally foreign currencies.

In the United States at this time, the only "Notes" that stand as "lawful money" are "United States Notes".

This is because (1) the Federal Reserve Board bankrupted the "Federal Reserve System" in 2009 and (2) since then, the Federal Reserve Banks have not stood behind the Federal Reserve Notes with any assets of their own at risk and (3) this leaves the "Federal Reserve Notes" backed by the "good faith and credit" of the members of Congress acting as the Municipal Government of Washington, DC ---- and you can judge for yourselves what that is worth. 

United States Dollars issued since 1971 have been backed by oil, instead of gold or silver and "United States Notes" therefore are being backed by oil.  United States Notes are "lawful money" -- that is, credit notes backed by actual assets --- but they are not Lawful Money, that is,  not Actual Money, in that they have no value as a commodity in-and-of themselves. 

So don't let the banks baffle you with BS on this issue. 

The only US money that can be considered "lawful" money in the sense of the Legal Tender Cases are United States Notes --- USN's.  And the only US Money that can be considered true Lawful Money are United States Silver Dollars. 

Now, the banks don't have any United States Silver Dollars (and aren't set up to handle them if they did) and they most likely don't have enough United States Notes to meet demand, either, so what they can do is to "denominate" the digits associated with your account "as" United States Notes. 

This basically means, "We don't have enough United States Notes to pay you in USN's, but we can admit that these digits in your account are considered to be United States Notes."

Why would that matter?  Because United States Notes have value based on an actual commodity and are then presumed to be actual assets belonging to the account holders. They can't be seized by the bank because of that little fact and also the fact that USN's are issued by the United States, not the bankrupted Federal Reserve System.

When the BATF used to go on "raids" and ransack people's homes under gun-point for the IRS and steal everything of any value, they would seize any jewelry or stock certificates, records, checks, ---anything of value--- except American Silver Dollars.  Those they would never touch.  Why?  Because their system can't deal in actual true Lawful Money and because those dollars were issued by a foreign government.  Those dollars belong to the actual United States, not "the" United States.

So when you are dealing with these dishonest devils, be aware and be on your guard and don't let them sidestep or deceive you.  Step back on your heel and ask, "Lawful money in what sense?  I am talking about United States Notes instead of Federal Reserve Notes.  What are you talking about?" 

And when they bridle up, knowing that they've been caught in their offered subterfuge, you might step back another step and eyeball the guilty parties and say, "The reference to 12 USC 411 makes that clear enough in context, doesn't it?  The Legal Tender cases you are referencing concerned Lincoln's Greenbacks, for goodness sakes!  Since when do you or I trade in Greenbacks?" 

Or even more pointedly, smile ingratiatingly and say, "Oh, but then, which "United States" would you be referencing? The actual United States?  Or the United States Territorial Government?  Or the United States Municipal Government?"

About then, the banker is going to realize if he hasn't already, that he is not going to get away with this bunko act, and should retreat back into his office, where he should hurriedly add the USN designation to your account balances.

The bottom line is that you prefer money backed by oil to money backed by the hot air of the dishonest, spendthrift, run amok "US CONGRESS" and it is up to you to make sure that your local bankers get the message and credit your accounts accordingly.  It's your credit.  If you want lawful money, they have to provide it or go out of business.

Every time you do so, more of the "US National Debt" gets paid down.  More jolly good.  See to it.  And don't let bankers or lawyers sell you (1) wooden nickels or (2) bunko excuses.

From Dr. R.E. Search, Andrews Plantation, a True Ghost Story

 By Anna Von Reitz

In my experience the exact right information always comes forward exactly on time, and so it is that this famous (and true) ghost story has once again crossed my desk.

I first read this when I was very young, and was rummaging among Civil War Era artifacts and publications of that era and concerning that subject that my Mother acquired in the course of her work as an antiques collector.

Whether or not you believe the supernatural aspects of this story---apparent in the longer version posted with this article on my website---- you will nonetheless find that the information about money and the issues surrounding control of money are true and have remained eerily the same, only worsened, since the days of Lincoln.

Please read these excerpts and remember what I have told you and reflect upon the fact that our actual Federal Congress had no ability to change the obligation laid upon them by our Constitution to control the money or give any other body that delegated responsibility. Therefore, you can be reassured that our actual Federal Republic Congress never agreed to the usurpation by the Moneychangers and that these arrangements made by the Territorial Congress and the U.S. Army during and after the Civil War are wholly their responsibility.

From Dr. Search, quoting his unexpected visitor: “He further

explained that the control of money must be made sure for the moneyed men, and that they were to get, and keep, this control the world over, by the same scheme they had used when the Bank of England had been established, namely, the power to ‘issue’ paper money as a privilege of buying Government bonds and depositing them with the government, and later to use ‘bank credit’ instead of money, because they could issue or withhold ‘credit’ at their own pleasure, thereby being able absolutely to control the money or ‘circulating medium’ of exchange of the world; also, by being able to vary the ‘quantity’ of‘ circulating medium’ they could raise or lower prices of commodities at their will and really control the destiny of any and all countries.”

“He told Andrews his people had ‘managed’ the passage of the National Bank Law in the States in 1863. Lincoln, he said, had not been in favor of it, because he had been able to see that a government could finance itself, by issuing full legal tender greenbacks, as he had done for a while, until his (Rothberg’s) people had been able to ‘persuade’ certain congressman and senators that the ‘exception clause’ should be written into the bill for the next issue of greenbacks.“

"This, of course, they had cause to be done, to give their banks an excuse for discounting them, and discrediting such money, and making it worthless, and which had given them a better chance to get their own plan adopted, which they had accomplished.”

“Over the centuries in such circumstances, [response to Lincoln’s assassination] confusion, deceit, and make-believe have been their chief tools, aside from the use of the power of Gold, which, of course, is their greatest weapon, in their drive for wealth and power.”

“No government, up to Lincoln’s time, had ever been able to figure out any way for the government itself to gain and keep control of its own money and finances.“

"This, then, was the crux of the whole situation: Lincoln had, through the help of Colonel Dick Taylor, discovered that very thing, and had used it successfully (Making full legal tenure ‘greenback’ money), the money they made under their plan being absolutely good money, never falling below par at any time, and being even better than the much talked of ‘sound money’ of the Money Changers and their cohort legislators.“

"True, the Money Changers had been able to get this new power away from the Government by having their satrap legislators in Congress pass the Exception Clause Bill, making the next issue of greenbacks good for payment of all debts both public and private, EXCEPT duty on imports and interest on the Government bond debt, which, of course, gave the Money Changers and Bankers the excuse, as they planned, to ‘discount’ the next issue of bills and therefore devalue and discredit them in the eyes of the public.”

"There is no weapon to be used by a group equal to the power of gold when that is made the basis of a nation’s money. If any nation is now going to try to throw off the encircling chains of economic slavery of the money changer group, that nation must FIRST take away from the money changers their power to control the money of the nation, for that is their chief weapon and through its use and manipulation all other advantages are obtained, and all other rackets are perpetuated."

"Through the manipulation of the nation’s money system, the money changers have now obtained virtual possession and control of all our principal communication and transportation systems, our public utilities systems; and together with the use of money manipulation, usury, stock exchange gambling, and the exploiting power of these aforementioned systems they have now mortgaged practically every piece of property in our nation to themselves."

"Therefore, once we have taken back the power to issue and control the value and volume of our money, and placed that control in the hands of Congress, where our good old Constitution placed it, we must use the power of Eminent Domain, also given our government by our Constitution, and take over and operate under our government these systems of transportation, communication, oil, gas and coal, as they are all natural monopolies and should belong to our people as a whole and not for the exploitation of any particular group."

"Mr. Average Man and Woman of our troubled America, you have shifted the responsibility of your duty to yourself and your nation—of giving time and thought to what is done by your legislators, whom you send up there to do it—long enough. It is up to you, individually and collectively, to get busy now, if you wish to save your necks and the future independence of your nation. DO IT NOW, TOMORROW MAYBE TOO LATE!”

Need I say more?

The Colonel Dick Taylor mentioned is Colonel Edmund Dick Taylor.

Here is a brief note to Colonel Taylor from Abraham Lincoln, crediting Colonel Taylor as the creator of the Greenback: ‘My dear Colonel Dick: I have long determined to make public the origin of the greenback and tell the world that it was Dick Taylor’s creation. You had always been friendly to me. and when troublous times fell on us, and my shoulders, though broad and willing, were weak, and myself surrounded by such circumstances and such people that I knew not whom to trust, then I said in my extremity, ‘I will send for Colonel Taylor — he will know what to do.' I think it was in January 1862, on or about the 16th, that I did so. Said you: ‘Why, issue treasury notes bearing no interest, printed on the best banking paper. Issue enough to pay off the army expenses and declare it legal tender.' Chase thought it a hazardous thing, but we finally accomplished it, and gave the people of this Republic the greatest blessing they ever had — their own paper to pay their debts. It is due to you, the father of the present greenback, that the people should know it and I take great pleasure in making it known. How many times have I laughed at you telling me, plainly, that I was too lazy to be anything but a lawyer.

Yours Truly.

A. Lincoln

Please note that the solution to the problem suggested by Dr. Search remains the solution to the problem now--education, awareness, and group action, together with an ever-expanding social and spiritual awareness of the enslavement and peonage system we have been living under with no necessity to do so, since the events of the Civil War.

We vary only in that Dr. Search was taken in by the British Cuckoo Bird swap of the British-backed Territorial Government for the actual Federal Republic ordained by the American People, and so imagined that relief could be obtained by bringing pressure to bear on that foreign Congress.

Today we know that those sitting in Congress are acting in a totally foreign capacity, and that the only likely impact we can have on them is: (1) Making them aware of their individual liability and the severity of their crimes; (2) Bringing both our public opinion and the opinion of other people around the world to bear upon them and their usurping commercial corporations.

For the [Stupid] Love of Money

From Judge Anna

I am a scientist by nature and training---analytical to the bone. It always comes as a shock to people that I take the Bible seriously. I shrug and say, "There are 648 prophecies in the Bible (at least so far as I can count) and all but a handful have come true."

Go figure, eh?

This could be because we are in some sort of cosmic feedback loop, reliving yet another version of what has already happened before, and which is therefore happening again according to generally known parameters.

According to modern physics and mathematical theories, it's possible. Time viewed as an ever-expanding matrix of information could have a repeat pattern as predicted by fractal mathematics. Our experience of "history" could simply expand like adding another chamber of larger size but similar shape to a chambered Nautilus shell.

This would explain the "eternal return" of things and the existence of such mythic patterns as "the once and future king".

We are in this day and age in the midst of such a repeat pattern and facing a known and ancient evil that first entered the written history of mankind approximately 8,000 years ago. It is the same evil that Abraham fled when he left the Babylonian city of Ur, the same evil that Moses fled when leaving Egypt. No doubt it is the same evil that led to the Flood and which is prophesied to cause the destruction by Fire.

That great evil is idolatry, and it's chief form is --- money.

Blood Money

 By Anna Von Reitz

First, let's review what actual money is.  

Actual money has value in its own right ---- meaning intrinsic value. Gold has value based on what it is, so does silver.  Coinage made of these metals has intrinsic value as a result, and that value can be determined and unitized based on how much of the metal is used to make the coin, the purity of the metal, and so on.  This is called the bullion value. 

There is also the face value, which is stamped on the coinage.  The two things, bullion value and face value, may or may not be closely associated depending on market fluctuations, inflation, reputation of the issuing authority, and other less tangible factors. 

A coin may also have numismatic value, which is its value as a collector's item. 

These three values taken together establish the Market Value of a coin.

Any of the other things that we use "as" money, including paper notes and credit cards and bitcoin-type digital currencies, are not money.  They are certificates representing actual gold or silver assets held in a repository, or they are notes amounting to "promises to pay" or other forms of Commercial Script.  Paper has no significant intrinsic value, so must be "accepted" as having whatever face value is printed on it.  The act of accepting it gives it value. 

Understandably, people resist accepting "paper for gold" ---or oil, or silver, or any other actual commodity, and must usually be imposed upon by Legal Tender Laws before they will do so. 

The classic example we have just used to describe actual money must be amended somewhat due to the advent of other asset-backed currencies, such as the "Petrodollar".   The value of such currencies is also "pegged" and related to a unitized value of a specific commodity, such as one gallon of grade A crude oil.  There is no theoretical end to the variety of such asset-backed currencies. 

We could trade, to a limited extent, in Strawberry Dollars. 

In addition to all these commodity-based currencies, there's "blood money".  

Most Americans recognize this term as being related to bounty-hunting, where a reward is posted for the apprehension of an outlaw.  The reward in this instance is called "blood money" as it involves exchanging money for a living (or sometimes dead) body.  

Judas's thirty pieces of silver represent blood money -- a reward paid for the "service" of betraying Jesus to the authorities of the day.  

These examples, however, may give you the wrong idea that blood money is restricted to these sorts of sordid and specific kinds of performance rewards.  In fact, blood money is far more common in other contexts and represents the value of human life energy --- that is, the value of your labor, your thoughts, your patents, copyrights, and trademarks, all those "intellectual properties" that are yours by nature --- make up another whole trading sector and form of money. 

This is because we not only trade money for goods, we trade money for services. 

We unitize the value of services much as we unitize the value of gold.  We establish hourly wages and minimum wage standards, which then peg in a very general sense, the value of labor being traded for money.  A skilled laborer simply commands more of the "units" per hour.  

Herr Hitler demonstrated how simple and arbitrary this is, when he famously defined the new post-World War I Deutsche Mark as being equal to either one hour of labor or one loaf of bread. This established the exchange rate of the DM in one stroke, for both commodity purposes (bread) and labor purposes (basic hourly wage). 

To the amazement and chagrin of all the money snobs paying attention, it worked like a charm. 

German productivity soared and the DM, set free of all the contrived  manipulation of the European monetary regulators, soared also.  If nothing else, this foray into simplified monetary policy proved that the value of a currency increases to a natural settling point and stabilizes by itself once it is properly defined.  

People can have faith in it, because they know, for sure, the value of a Dollar --- or a Deutsch Mark, both in terms of trading commodities and trading labor. 

Beginning in the 19th century we began bumping into the ceiling of currency values on a worldwide basis.  There simply wasn't enough gold or silver in this world to backstop the burgeoning demand for currency needed to build industry and fuel the demand for infrastructure and government services.  Even when they added the value of the blood money --- the labor commodities --- into the equations, there still wasn't enough "basis" to issue enough currency. 

This demand for money as a commodity coupled with the physical limits of both the trading value of commodities and labor (the "believability" factor) led to the demand for both:  (1) extreme exercise of all assets to provide basis for currencies, and (2).....credit.  Lots of it. 

Credit, unlike any form of money --- either commodity-based or labor-based blood money --- does not exist in the actual world.  It has no basis but faith in a future ability to pay, and as we all know, the future does not exist in the present---sic., "good faith and credit".   

This all results in a situation in which we have borrowed the assets of a projected future, including future labor assets, to pay for otherwise insupportable economic expansion today.  This, combined with the money commodity rigging scheme known as the Economic Stabilization Fund (ESF) has allowed us to proceed without currency wars that would otherwise naturally erupt as each country battled to preserve its own living standards and more efficiently and completely sell-out future generations in exchange for more comforts and bigger welfare payments today. 

It seemed innocent enough at the time.  After all, it's all "in the future" and the future isn't actual. It's theoretical.  And once we begin dealing in such theory, we have left Earth behind and entered the Never-Never Land, where both Peter Pan and the Land of Oz exist.  

This fundamental unreality and the "theoretical" consequence is what drives the increasing disconnection between fact and fiction.  

In the construct concocted by Bretton Woods and more recently by the World Economic Forum, average people counted as "citizenry" of each country are born as the carriers of a completely insurmountable debt and exist only as debt slaves.  This, while these same people are in fact the  owners and possessors of everything of actual value on this planet, including the value of their labor.  

The world of monetary theory and future indebtedness in the form of credit has created a head-on collision between fact and fiction, and everywhere you turn, you hear the whispered and horrified refrain, "Somebody's got to pay for this!" 

Let's begin with the fact that you can't in-debt something that doesn't exist, but you can honor credit that is pre-paid.

Crazy Like a Fox -- Unanswered Letters 1 -- A Reply to John Smith

by Anna Von Reitz

Below you will find the text of a letter that was sent to me, which among many others, I haven't had the time or ability to answer, but which I will attempt to respond to this morning---

Hello Anna Von Reitz

I do read most of the information you put out, and you have sure put out some

mind blowing information, mind blowing for me anyhow.

Maybe it's because I'm not very well educated, these days I am not sure if that's

a good thing or a bad thing, I am now seventy years of age and I have learned

more about the way this world of ours is run in the last seven years then all the previous

years put together.

I knew there was corruption going on within many Government departments

but I had no idea that it was so wide spread and organised world wide.

Over the last seven years I have seen so many hard working people put up so many

petitions and protests yet nothing changes how can a drop of water thrown into

the ocean make any difference.

Not been well educated I've always had to look for simple solutions to any problem

I have faced.

And today I am facing the biggest problem the world has ever known how do we

as a human race save ourselves and our planet.

And there is a VERY VERY simple solution we all know about superman and

we all know about the one thing that brings him down KRYPTONITE it's colour

is green.

Green is the same colour vibration of money, MONEY IS OUR KRYPTONITE

money is what is been used to enslave us and give our overlords power over us.

So the solution is simple we stop using any form of money world wide

and make everything free worldwide be it goods, services,health education

everything that money buys.

With one condition that every adult 18 years to 55 has to do 1 to 3 days work

each week.

Under 18 and over 55 need not work unless they want too.

By removing money from our world we take away the power of our present

over lords no one can stop us doing this except ourselves we out number

them by over a million to one.

Even if they try to set the law enforcement or military or even mercenaries

on us it will not work because money will be of no use to them plus they

get everything free anyway.

By removing any form of money from our lives:

The banks will be finished, The IRS will be finished, All national debts worldwide will be finished .

all wars will be finished nothing to fight over everything worldwide will be free.

No more mortgage payments no BLM NSA OR FBI OR KINGS AND QUEENS

No rent the list is endless but I'm sure you get the picture no one can stop us

With money out of the picture no one will need to compete with anyone for money

or power we will work to help each other.

It will put millions out of work and they will make up the work force needed so we all

work only 1 to 3 days a week.

With money out of the way all suppressed technology will come out

the military can be reassigned to clean up the planet

It really is that simple it's up to us to make this happen and make this VIRAL we can do it.

John Smith

PS: I will be sending copies of this letter to others there is really no other way

money has to go otherwise we will always be slaves.

The Money Monopoly: How the Federal Reserve rips you off !

Ron Paul in the American Conservative Magazine

by Ron Paul
American Conservative Magazine
Fri, Sep 18th, 2009 12:00:00 am

Most Americans haven’t thought much about the strange entity that controls the nation’s money. Visitors to Washington can see the Federal Reserve’s palatial headquarters, the monetary parallel to the Supreme Court or the U.S. Capitol. We hear the Fed chairman testify to Congress, citing complex data, making predictions, and attempting to intimidate anyone who would take issue. He postures as master of the universe, completely knowledgeable and in control.


But how much do we really know about what goes on inside the Fed? Even with the newest round of bailouts, journalists had difficulty determining where the money was coming from and where it was headed. From its founding in 1913, secrecy and inside deals have been part of the way the Fed works.

It says that its job is to keep inflation in check. But this is like the car industry claiming to control road congestion. The Fed might attempt to stop the effects of inflation, namely rising prices. But under the old definition of inflation—an artificial increase in the supply of money and credit—the reason for its existence is to generate more, not less.

The banking industry has always had trouble with the idea of a free market that provides opportunities for both profits and losses. The first part, the industry likes. The second is another matter. That is the reason for the constant drive in American history toward the centralization of money, a trend that not only benefits the largest banks with the most to lose from a sound-money system, but also the government, which is able to use an elastic system as an alternative form of revenue support.

Whenever instability turns up, we see efforts to socialize the losses, but rarely do people question the source of instability. Economist Jesús Huerta de Soto places the blame on the institution of fractional-reserve banking. This is the notion that depositors’ money in use as cash may also be loaned out for speculative projects, then re-deposited. The system works as long as people do not attempt to withdraw their money all at once. In the face of such a demand, banks turn to other banks to provide liquidity. But when the failure becomes system-wide, they turn to government.

The core of the problem is the conglomeration of two distinct functions of a bank. The first is warehousing, whereby banks keep money safe and provide checking, ATM access, record keeping, and online payment, services for which consumers are traditionally asked to pay. The second service the bank provides is a loan service, seeking out investments and putting money at risk in search of return.

The institution of fractional reserves mixes these functions, such that warehousing becomes a source for lending. The bank loans out money that has been warehoused—and stands ready to use in checking accounts or other forms of checkable deposits—and that loaned money is deposited yet again in checkable deposits. It is loaned out again and deposited, with each depositor treating the loan money as an asset on the books. In this way, fractional reserves create new money, pyramiding it on a fraction of old deposits. An initial deposit of $1,000, thanks to this “money multiplier,” turns into $10,000. The Fed adds reserves to the balances of member banks in the hope of inspiring ever more lending.

Meat of the Subject - Money and Not Money

 By Anna Von Reitz

The citations below are from Melvin Stamper, via a faithful reader; I am simply melding this into a process for you to follow when dealing with their courts. 

But first.... 

I do not want to confuse people so I will remind everyone that in the Hidden Caste System, there are (1) people known as men and women, sons and daughters, people have Natural and Unalienable Rights and protected by the Constitutions and there are (2) Persons known as Humans, both male and female, boy and girl, who have only Human Rights and who must obey the Constitutions but have no guarantees or rights under them, and there are (3) Things -- slaves and corporations that are Unisex and give rise to a child or franchise, and have only Civil Rights which are actually privileges that can be taken away. They also have no protections under the Constitutions. 

Men and women are above any statutory law or code or regulation, so any rule that accrues via any act of legislation does NOT pertain to them unless they contract otherwise. 

So when we are discussing Federal Code or Federal Court Cases (except for the 8% of Federal Law that is made part of the Federal Congressional Record and which may apply to men and women under specific circumstances) the Federal Code pertains only to Persons. 

Okay?  So when I am citing "Federal Code" it is (92% of the time) for the benefit of our public employees, who are Federal Dual Citizens.  This is what you need to show them about their obligations and the realities about what, for them, passes for money. 

Money has to have value in-and-of-itself.  A gold coin has value in-and-of-itself, because gold has value apart from whatever form it takes. 

Everything else that passes for money is commercial scrip -- some form of bill, credit certificate, promissory note, warehouse receipt, bill of lading, etc.  This "commercial paper" has no value in-and-of-itself.  

This means that Federal Reserve Notes which are "promises to pay" at some uncertain future date or upon demand, are not money.  They are I.O.U.s. 

If you are brought into one of their courts or have to reply to one of their courts on a "money" issue, mortgage, lien, tax debt, etc.,  the first thing you want to do is ask if any attorney has been assigned to represent you, and fire them.  You are "present against your will and require nobody to represent you" -- which should be apparent but has to be said. 

Next step: "Nothing I say may be regarded as a pleading. I am here to inform the court.  I am not a corporation and not representing a corporation. I am here as a living Elector and the only holder of the survivorship interest in the estate of (name of Defendant/DEFENDANT" 

Next step: "I also object to the mandatory use of Federal Reserve Notes. I reject any role as a Tort Feasor against the Federal Constitutions, Article 1, Section 10."

"Federal reserve notes are legal tender in absence of objection thereto." MacLeod v. Hoover (June 22, 1925) 159 La 244, 105 So. 305, ---but I object.  

I will also remind the court that the Gold Bullion Act of 1985 makes it clear that Americans, such as myself, are no longer obligors or grantors with respect to the Federal Reserve Banks and their Notes.  Please see: Public Law 99-185, December 17, 1985, 99 Statutes 1177. 

I also wish to remind the Court that for purposes of any U.S. Citizens or citizens of the United States brought before it, Title 31 USC Section 408 prohibits the redemption of any currency into gold and Title 31 USC Section 405(a)-3 prohibits the redemption of any United States currency dollar for dollar into gold and silver. Also,  for a check to be a negotiable instrument, it must contain an unconditional promise to pay a sum certain in money and be payable on demand or at a definite time (UCC 3-103 (b) (c)), a condition which no check issued in the current system can meet.

Thus the Moving Party (bank, IRS, Municipality, etc.)  is itself prohibited from using so-called "money of account" and cannot reference me in this matter or make demands based upon it. 

I believe they have acted in contempt of court and the law which pertains to them. 

A quick examination of the reasoning yields the obvious -- the owner of the asset is also owed all the credit derived from the asset and cannot possibly owe a debt to himself for the use of his own credit. 

I wish to remind the court that for its own purposes: "An Appearance induced by Fraud (legal coercion, physical duress, or in regard to a fictitious party) has no efficacy" (Stultz v. Stultz, 94A.2d 527, 24 N.J.Super, 354, 6 C.J.S. §18). 

I will note for further reference of the court the following instances proving the nature of Federal Reserve Notes and Money of Account and its limitations: 

"Money" does not include treasury notes". Foquet v. Headley, 3 Conn. 534, 536.  And,

 

"In legal acceptation, "money" means current metallic coins; therefore an indictment for embezzling "money" is not sustainable by proof of embezzling greenbacks or national currency notes." Block v. State, 41 Tex. 620, 622. And,

 

"The term "money" does not include bank notes. They pass as cash, and constitute a part of the circulating medium, and for many purposes are to be considered as money; but, in the strict sense of the term, they are not included therein." Dowdle v. Corpening, 32 N.C. 58,60. And,

 

"Money," as used in Crimes Act, section 13, providing that any person stealing any money, the property of another, shall be guilty of larceny, cannot be construed to include bank bills, for strictly bank bills are not money, though for many purposes they are treated as such." Johnson v. State, 11 Ohio St. 324,325. And,

"The term "money," in the statute defining robbery as taking from the person of another any money or personal property of any value whatsoever, with force and violence, and with intent to steal or rob, does not include bank notes." Turner v. State, 1 Ohio St. 422,426. And,

 

"Federal Reserve Notes are not dollars." U.S. Treasury, General Counsel, Munk. And,

 

"Both notes and checks are acknowledgments of indebtedness and promise of payment." Hegeman v. Moon, 131 N.Y. 462, 30 N.E. 487. Smith v. Treuhart et al, 223 N.Y.S. 481. 

So, both the Moving Party and this Court are prohibited from making a demand upon my Estate or claiming the existence of any debt based on Federal Reserve Notes or other fiat Notes posed as the indebtedness of a foreign corporation or other Legal Fiction, for I own the whole of it, both the assets and the credit these legal fictions extend. 

Fictional money results in fictional debts. 

I hold the only substantive right and possession of interest in any case. 

As my court holds superior concurrent General Jurisdiction in this matter I expect to be obeyed and for this and any other claim of this nature brought against my estate to be dismissed with prejudice." 

There you have a complete example of "fully informing the court" and basically telling them and the bank or agency, etc., where to get off your merry-go-round. 

The truth of the matter is that they gained a purported but not actual interest in "your estate" via means of securities fraud and by misrepresenting you as a corporation engaged in interstate commerce.

Shove it and any claim of "indebtedness" based on Federal Reserve Notes or United States Notes or any other kind of "note" right back down their throats.

And have a good day.....

Money, Credit, and Stupidity

 By Anna Von Reitz

Hunter Aki has a Private Membership Association called the Global Family Group.  I don't belong to it or any other Private Membership Association (PMA).  As part of the PMA he has a Prosperity Program for willing investors.  Now, rumors have surfaced that some investors in the Prosperity Program haven't been paid according to their expectations. 

None of this has anything to do with the banks. None of it has anything to do with me.  

Yet certain unscrupulous or otherwise witless people, have sought to involve me and blame me for this alleged "crisis" in the PMA Prosperity Program. 

To date, nobody has produced a contract that has been breached.  Nobody has come forward and said, "I was promised this and I got that."  and provided an affidavit and supporting evidence for any complaint.  Nobody has proven any wrong-doing or failed obligation, yet there is all this clack, clack, clack ---- and when I ask the Complainers to prove up on their complaint, everything goes silent.   

Crickets.  No broken contracts have landed on my desk a week after the purported crisis began.  

This tells me one of two things --- there is no actual problem and this is being trumped up as a publicity "hit" on Hunter (and they are trying to make it a hit on me) or this is a problem and the Complainers are culpable --- there's something they don't want to show me in the contract, most likely something that invalidates their complaints. 

This is not my first trip to the rodeo.  They've opened the chute but no bull has come out.  

Think hard. 

The other thing that has surfaced is a basic misunderstanding about actual lawful money and credit.  

International Trade Banks deal in gold, silver, gems, etc.,--- actual, factual assets, and trade using money that is: (a)  based on actual, factual assets --- like Silver Certificates or (b) coinage or gold-bearing bills --- actual bills similar to what you are used to, that carry a layer of gold equal to the face value of the bill. 

So, we have ordered 55,000 Metric Tons of American gold to the United States Mint to be made into American Gold Eagle coins, which everyone is familiar with.  And we are looking at various options to produce gold-bearing bills and calling this new currency the American Federation Dollar to distinguish it from the silver-based United States Silver Dollar and Silver Certificates (Certificates are never lawful money per se because they didn't have the silver embedded in the bills, but they are redeemable warehouse receipts for lawful money called "Money Orders" or what a banker would call a "lawful money cash value receipt".) 

We are making good progress to open up our International Trade Banks and supply them with --- you guessed it ---- lawful money.  

Commercial banks deal in what is called "commercial paper" --- which creates representations of accounts, filled with "money of account" ---which is credit, not actual money.  Mortgages, securities, stocks, bonds, promissory notes, letters of credit, bank drafts, checks, court judgements, debits, liens, and so on are examples of commercial paper instruments.  These instruments have no value in-and-of themselves and they generally represent no specific asset; they are created from paper and thin air, yet because of legal tender laws, they have to be exchanged as if they were actual money and they have to be "accounted" in the same way. Such instruments have to be "monetized" by a bank which creates more fiat currency and ledgers it into the accounts of the bank. 

One way to look at this is that one form, asset-backed money, is the currency of physical things, while commercial paper is the currency of performances -- labor, usury, debt, credit owed, and so on.  

Not surprisingly these are two completely different systems, which is why we have International Trade Banks and Commercial Banks, both.  

Both banks ledger assets, howbeit, of different kinds.  Both banks keep accounts, the trade bank accounts for actual money and the commercial bank accounts for credit assets.  

It should be apparent from this that you can have digits standing either for the value of physical assets or standing for the value of labor/performance assets --- actual money or credit, either one, can be expressed in term of dollars and cents. 

So, in September, with threats of bank bail-ins mounting to a fever pitch and threats from the Commercial banks to "wipe" their accounts and more threats from the Biden Administration to purposefully "put inflation on steroids" I suggested the obvious -- that the only safe place to put your "credits" from the Commercial Bank System --- might be The Global Family International 

Trade Bank, which is, generally speaking, the only International Trade Bank open to the Public right now.  

What happens when you take credit to a trade bank?   It has to be "lawfully converted" into actual money.  It comes out of the airy-fairy world of commercial credit that can be created or destroyed or "revalued" at whim, and enters the realm of terra firma.  Doing this provides some very substantial benefits in times like these --- first, actual money can't be "bailed in" or "wiped off" a bank's balance sheet without any consequence; second, actual money holds its value no matter what inflation does or doesn't do.  It acts as its own natural hedge fund. 

So some people took their increasingly worthless Federal Reserve Debt Notes to The Global Family Commercial Bank and denominated these I.O.U.'s as lawful money, and The Global Family Commercial Bank dutifully did what they requested and converted the credit evidenced by the debt notes into lawful money which The Global Family International Trade Bank ledgered onto its balance sheet.  

Their "money" --- that is, credit --- didn't disappear; it was converted into actual asset-backed money and ledgered by the International Trade Bank according to their own directions. 

Now, because we are still in the process of minting and printing the cash value gold coins and gold-bearing bills, there is no physical medium available to pay them out and some of the dimmer wits among us are panicking and trying to cause a bank run because of this. 

They should have been prepared to leave their assets safely bulwarked in the Trade Bank for the very reasons that they placed it in the Trade Bank to begin with, and short of an emergency, been content to wait until our new asset-backed currency is released.  

If they think their activities are going to collapse our bank and give them an opportunity to commandeer what we've worked for, they will be sadly disappointed. Their actual money assets can be converted right back into credit and they will be back where they started --- holding onto increasingly worthless debts owed to them by a bankrupt commercial corporation, facing the End Game where the commercial banks "wipe the books" because of the bankruptcy. 

You all know how bankruptcy works, don't you?  The court takes charge of the bankrupt entity and assigns a Trustee to divvy up the assets among the creditors, and when there's no more to distribute, all the lesser creditors suck wind.  

All these people now spreading rumors and unfounded suspicions and blame and all the rest of it are Lesser Creditors who stand to lose everything they've got --- and they are running straight back into the fire, even after they were given a way out.  

So let me voice some suspicions of my own.  The man who is complaining that he didn't get his 5% interest got his rent paid for and a free education.  The man who accused Hunter of running a Ponzi Scheme was also getting free rent and and education. And now he's doing the same thing that Hunter has done, selling what he learned to much bigger clients than Al and Joanne down the street.  Go figure. The women who are chasing around like the Harpies from Hell and being faithless and gossiping and  trying to tear down what they helped to build get very low marks for good sense.  They are trying to blame me for something they constructed.  

Go figure again.

I am telling you flat out, that unless we stand together, support each other,  and bring forward the Truth about this and everything else,  the world economy is going to resemble a flaming bag of dog dung left on someone's front porch --- yours. 

You'd all better pray that all the efforts being made now succeed, including Hunter's efforts.
