Not a lightweight topic, no hocus pocus or interpretation.

I am going to past a long explanation as to why most have no clue why and how this world operates. Why most do not know who they really are and what your relationship with government really is. In a nutshell it is all an illusion. Read though it and for those who wonder where justice lies and what justice is....you may find it below. This was posted in a forum i frequent and I could not explain it any better than the author. I hope it resonates with you all. This could be the piece of the puzzle you are missing.

----

"I. Background and framework.
The government founded by the original Constitution, 1787, is no longer operational. Instead, what is called the “Government of the United States” is a bankrupt, private corporation, owned, underwritten, and functioning in commerce as a front for the international bankers and the Powers-That-Be with which said bankers are allied. The entire institution, i.e., “US Inc.,” is private (not free) enterprise administering the ongoing business and political ends of the actual owners. In this current scenario, every action of US Inc. is a commercial transaction by and between fictitious entities all transpiring for the purpose of furthering the economic and political objectives of the alleged creditors.

This situation arose from the borrowing by USA from European central banks and owing the unpaid indebtedness to the Crown from the original joint-venture agreement between the Colonies (which are corporations of the Crown) and the Crown per se. It appears as though USA has been bankrupt from inception, i.e., from 1788, and the Constitution was drafted to “re-constitute” the unpaid debt and structure an organization for functioning in bankruptcy.

The Civil War was staged and financed by the bankers and the Crown to conquer the nation by engaging in the timeless strategy of “divide and conquer.” Pitting North against South resulted in the dissolution of the de jure Federal government of the organic Constitution. The States were drawn into the Central Government, as were—progressively—the people directly, with the whole conglomerate operating through the new Federal Government in the Emergency War Powers of 12 Stat. 319, 1861, under the “law of necessity.”

Thus, the “Government” functions under mere “color (appearance only) of government” with the President as acting dictator on behalf of the bankers under the President’s capacity as Commander in Chief of the Military. I.e., when the seven (7) Southern States walked out of Congress on March 27, 1861, Congress—and, indeed, the entire de jure Government of USA under the original Constitution—dissolved based on absence of a Congressional quorum to adjourn and re-convene. The result is that the actual winner of the Civil War was neither the North nor the South, but the bankers who owned the new Federal Government that defeated both North and South and absorbed and subserved the States into itself.

In accordance, inter alia, with the Limited Liability Act of 1851, the Emergency War Powers, 12 Stat. 319, the Civil Rights Act of 1866, and the constitutional provision allowing Congress authority to pass any law Congress wishes within the ten-mile square territory of Washington, DC, Article I, Section 8, Clause 17, the 14th Amendment was proclaimed ratified in 1868. Within that framework, on February 21st, 1871, Congress passed the District of Columbia Organic Act, Forty-first Congress, Session III, Chapter 62, page 419, 16 Stat. 419, “An Act to provide a Government for the District of Columbia,” which act was revised in 1874 and reorganized June 8, 1878, 20 Stat. 102, Chap 180, 45th Congress, 2nd Session, “An Act providing a permanent form of government for the District of Columbia.” This “government” is a private corporation now known and copyrighted by such names as “The United States Government,” “United States,” “U.S.,” “U.S.A.,” etc., all referenced herein as “US Inc.”

It is important to understand that US Inc. is not a country, but a corporation—and indeed a bankrupt corporation operating under color of government as the front and device for administering the conquest in law and commerce of the United States of America. The 14th Amendment and US Inc. are all private international law in the admiralty-maritime/Law Merchant of Roman Civil Law.

The 14th Amendment states: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.” This amendment allows US Inc. to have complete jurisdiction over “citizens,” i.e., corporate subsets of US Inc., which the de jure federal government did not and could not possess. The 14th Amendment also states (section 4): “The validity of the public debt of the United States authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion [per 12 Stat. 319], shall not be questioned.”

The 14th Amendment established the framework for complete conquest and absorption of the country, rendering the people permanent debtors, indentured servants in involuntary servitude, peonage, and also enemies of the government as a result, in accordance with 12 State 319, any aspect of US Inc. may summarily confiscate property in rem without necessity for judicial process whenever any citizen asserts a challenge to the laws of the United States, i.e., US Inc.

Remnants of the de jure Government remained after the 14th Amendment, however, based on such things as the continuing circulation of gold and silver coin (the money of sovereigns) and the fact that Senators were still elected to the Senate by Electors of the States rather than by direct, popular vote. Senators became elected by direct vote of the people with the passage of the 17th Amendment. The Civil War had forced each sovereign State to pledge its assets as collateral and become surety and a cosigner for the defaulted Federal Government’s debt to the bankers. This procedure was repeated in the 1933 bankruptcy, at which time gold and silver coin (substance) were outlawed as money for citizens of the United States (fictions). Inability to use gold and silver as money solidified the bankruptcy of US Inc. and foreclosed every such citizen from accessing real money for use in payment of debts, thereby denying access to sovereignty. US Inc. is completely devoid of rights, substance, standing in law, and sovereign character, as is every citizen of the United States.

II. The creation and nature of the strawman.
Because additional pledging of assets was required to enable the now-bankrupt corporation to continue to operate when civilly dead, the governors of all the States met to discuss the “emergency” declared by Franklin D. Roosevelt, i.e., the bankruptcy, and how to reorganize US Inc. to continue functioning when bankrupt by means of insurance underwriting by the creditors.

The governors of the States made a “pledge” to US Inc. to underwrite the bankruptcy through a grand scheme of limited-liability insurance. The people, through their “Certificates of Live Birth,” a/k/a “newborn identification,” were registered in the office of the county recorder by “registered agents” of the government such as the “registered doctor” and “registered nurse,” and were thereby established as property of the State. Remember “register” derives from “regis,” meaning “king,” whereby everything “registered” is there to record and keep track of the king’s property.

The newborn identification is identified with, and attaches to, the flesh-and-blood being by taking a drop of blood and the print (usually footprint) of the baby and applying them to the newborn identification. Once that certificate is registered, it is recorded as a “certificate of title,” as it were, to the real being. Since the point is to be able to enslave the child and render him a surety for the debt of the bankrupt US Inc., it makes no difference who or what the baby is. Everyone becomes classified as “fungible[1] goods,” like interchangeable bales of cotton.

The parents did not understand what was happening, so the process was thereby fraud based on deceit and non-disclosure. Obviously, with full disclosure of the terms and conditions involved in the alleged contract, no one would agree to go along with it. The agents of the government perpetrate a fraudulent transfer by registering the name, blood, and footprint of beings that is birthed by the living woman and not the corporate state (which can generate only more legal fictions, not real beings). This process amounts to theft of the real being by filing a piece of paper. The State did not create the name from which the all-caps strawman was derived, only colored the name into a form they could use. The name in upper- and lower-case letters pertains to the real being, while the all-caps strawman is a legal fiction used as credit against which to borrow at the expense of the life-force of the living being to which the name and registered newborn identification allegedly relates.

When the Governors of the States, at the Conference of Governors of March 6, 1933, pledged as State-registered assets the newborn identifications of those born in the State to the federal bankruptcy, the people’s energy was established as the collateral for backing the whole operation—the entire national debt. Since the States, being fictitious, commercial entities with no capacity to recognize real beings, could not pledge private, living people or their property, a “bridge” was needed between the living people and the bankruptcy of the federal US Inc. To accomplish this result the strawman was created by the Department of Commerce in Washington, DC, to function as a shill to operate out front publicly in place of the people. The scheme had to be so clever that the people would agree to operate as surety for the debts, charges, and obligations of the strawman without knowing what was happening to them, who did it, what they were agreeing to, or how the whole process worked.

The birth certificate with the all-caps name created by the U.S. Department of Commerce is a certificate of equity interest, akin to a “pink slip”[2] pertaining to a vehicle, and possibly a bill of lading, a document of bailment, which ships the cargo (new and original birth certificate) into the special maritime jurisdiction of the creditors to operate as collateral to back the bankruptcy reorganization of US Inc. via the Governor’s pledge. The all-caps strawman is thereby “birthed”—like a vessel—into the private, international-law special maritime jurisdiction of the bankers, et al, as a “citizen of the United States born [birthed] or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.”

By this scheme the living people assumed the roll of guarantor, accommodation party, and surety for the legal fiction that functions for the benefit and enrichment of the creditors. In this scenario it is the strawman, not the living being, that operates throughout the entirety of today’s law and commerce. One need only look at the Social Security Card, School Records, Passports, Driver’s Licenses, credit cards, utility bills, etc., all of which are always in all-capital letters—just as are gravestones of dead people all over the world and the parties to a dispute on the caption of a court brief—to see the ubiquitous use of the strawman in today’s commercial and legal world.

A “surety” is defined as “the one who is responsible to pay.” The real man is the surety and liable by contract to pay for the debts and obligations of the strawman, even though the real man is not, nor does he own, nor does he receive title to, anything purchased or accomplished by use of the strawman. The strawman is owned by US Inc. and the banks that purchased bonds issued by the Treasury against the strawman (as credit).

As stated, US Inc. is bankrupt, and has been since 1933. US Inc. has no gold or silver to pay any debts and is civilly dead. Having neither possession, nor right of possession, nor legal capacity to use gold and silver, i.e., “lawful money,” the only asset left to finance the continued operation of the bankrupt US Inc., i.e., the “government,” was the people, who were hypothecated as the credit/collateral to finance the bankruptcy US Inc. uses the substance and labor of the people to finance its entire operation. reorganization and insurance underwriting.

The scenario is extremely sophisticated, resulting in the operation of a vast and pervasive administration of legalized peonage, slavery, permanent indentured servitude, and collectivism (communism) wherein the people have forfeited all standing in law and are “dead to rights.” The Powers-That-Be borrow against your life, rights, and labor to finance their administration of the system they use to exploit, plunder, and dominate you, all under the pretext/presumption that they are acting as your agents to fulfill your own requests. In this scheme one is punished when one fails to pay or obey.

The sequence of steps involved in creating the existing system, in accordance with the best research to date (resulting from the efforts of many devoted people), is as follows in the United States:

1. A living, flesh-and-blood baby is born from its mother’s womb.

2. The legal/commercial system, existing and functioning entirely in the abstract realm of words, contracts, legal persons, corporate entities, laws, symbols, ideas, commerce, private international law, etc., (which constitutes the “matrix”) cannot see, recognize, or deal directly with the real world, including real people. The system itself is imaginary, while the real world is genuine and substantive. Consequently, the system deals only with documents and matters in the abstract realm that form, by presumption, ratified implied contract attached to the real world by “operation of law” and the tacit consent of the people.

3. Just after birth, the involved doctors and hospitals have the mother sign a “birth certificate,” i.e., a “certificate of live birth,” without telling the mother (and undoubtedly without themselves knowing the truth) that by so doing she and the doctor are criminally informing on her newborn baby as an enemy of the state in accordance with the War Powers and turning the baby over to the bankers as chattel property and slave, pledging the baby’s life-energy and labor in perpetuity as the collateral for borrowing into existence all “currency” (debt-paper) that passes as “money” today.[3]

4. The original birth certificate, a “Certificate of Live Birth,” constitutes, as it were, a “certificate of title” to the real being, and is in essence the equivalent of a “manufacturer’s statement (or certificate) of origin,” i.e., “MSO” or “MCO,” which is created upon manufacturing an automobile and constitutes title to the vehicle.

5. Just as in the case of a car, anything being “registered” in the legal system is established on the record as property of the king. The key here is "registered," a word deriving from “regis,” meaning “king,” whereby everything “registered” is recorded as the king’s property.

6. The sequence of steps concerning the birth certificate appears to be as follows:
a. After registration of the Certificate of Live Birth in the office of the county recorder, the county recorder makes a certified, true copy or microfilm, retains it, and sends the original to the Department of Commerce in the State.
b. As in the case of the county recorder, the State Department of Commerce makes a certified, true copy or microfilm, retains it, and sends the original to the Department of Commerce of the Federal Government in Washington, DC.
c. The Department of Commerce in Washington then makes a certified, true copy and, in addition, creates a new document, constituting a “certificate of equity interest,” which is labeled “Birth Certificate.” This birth certificate, however, has the child’s name in all-capital letters, unlike the original birth certificate filed in the county recorder on which the name was in upper- and lower-case letters.
d. The Department of Commerce in Washington, DC then forwards the originals of both documents to the record repository in such locations as The Hague, for holding on behalf of the international banks, e.g., the “World Bank,” the “Bank of International Settlement,” IMF, et al. There the documents remain on deposit as the collateral/asset for hypothecating into existence the credit that finances the underwriting of the world’s bankrupt governments.

7. By this means, the people become the "utility" for the "transmission" of energy from reality into the fictitious, colorable realm of international commerce.


The private, international law that governs the legal/commercial system today is the Uniform Commercial Code, which is established as the law of the land in the United States in Public Laws 88-243 and 88-244. The UCC is private, not public, law, and is copyrighted by Unidroit, an Italian corporation out of the Vatican.
Now the people, via their all-caps names, are classified as “human resources,” and "goods" under the Uniform Commercial Code—see Section 2-105(1) and 9-105(1) in which animals, i.e. humans and their unborn offspring, become "goods" saleable in commerce.

The Department of Treasury issues bonds on the birth certificates, which are sold through securities exchanges and purchased—by extending credit on the bank’s books—by the Federal Reserve Bank, which uses the bonds as “reserves” for creating credit in the fractional reserve system. The people’s labor becomes the collateral for issuing Federal Reserve Notes or some other form of "debt obligation" (see 18 USC §411). The bonds are held in trust for the purchaser, now the “secured party” and holder in due course, at the Resolution Trust Company at 55 Water Street, in New York City, about two blocks down the street from the Federal Reserve. It is a high-rise office building with a sign that reads, "The Tower of Power."

After the New Deal the all-caps name, hereinafter “strawman,” is what the system deals with, since it cannot interface directly with real beings. The real being, however, is presumed to have ratified the deal, agreed to the pledge, by the three (3) means for signifying ratification of implied contracts[4].

Thereafter, the system functions on the basis of possessing complete authority to do anything it wishes with the strawman, which is the system’s own creation and property and does not belong to the living being to whom the strawman purportedly pertains.

This scheme of legal/commercial peonage and slavery is outside the Constitution, which does not apply in any matters concerning the resulting process. The system functions in the realm of private contract, private international law, in international commerce, i.e., the private international law of the private, colorable Law Merchant, not within the direct purview of the Constitution, which merely sanctifies the operational right to contract.

Thereafter, every time the real being signs his name on any legal/commercial document, he is creating more debt-currency into existence, signing as the “surety,” or “accommodation party” per the Uniform commercial Code §3-415. He is also placing title to whatever property is involved in the hands of the bond-holder.
In this scenario, the "name," i.e., strawman, is credit and is a constructive trust (trust created by operation of law, i.e., fiat) holding all the real assets, i.e., “sweat-equity,” created by the labor of the real being. The right to the use has been separated from the title. The "strawman" holds the title and belongs to the bond-holder, not the real being. The flesh-and-blood man or women has only naked possession with a limited "right" to use the thing, such as one’s body, possessions, or land. Such illusion of ownership and right is essential to maintain the sting on an ongoing basis, keep the people from completely rebelling if their status as slaves was self-evident, and fostering more enthusiasm to work and produce by thinking that they are doing so for their own benefit rather than for the enrichment and power of their owners/masters/rulers.

When the strawman violates some rule or statute, such as is presumed whenever the strawman receives a traffic ticket, the flesh-and-blood being must appear at an arraignment and admit that he is the surety and accommodation party for the strawman, and thereby agree to provide the "energy" necessary for providing whatever fine or penalty is deemed due and payable. The real being has re-confirmed the contract of implied unification of the real being with the strawman by saying “here” when the strawman’s name is called in the idem sonans, i.e., “same-sound,” tribunal.[5] This is why it essential for the operation of the system that people "voluntarily give" their names to the court. The “Defendant” in the action is the strawman, not the real being. The real being confirms that he is, or may legally be treated the same as, the Defendant. Through this process one has entered through a door over which is inscribed: “Abandon hope all ye who enter here.”
It is now clear that the strawman is:

1. A “nom de guerre,” meaning “a name of war,” whereby the strawman is regarded as being in a state of “insurrection or rebellion” per Section 4 of the 14th Amendment, 12 Stat. 319, and the Trading With The Enemy Act;
2. A “stramineus homo,” or “strawman,” the legal and commercial consequences/aspects of which are that it is a permanent debtor in legal incapacity, a dead estate;
3. An artificial entity owned by the secured party who bought into the bond placed on the market by the U.S. Treasury.

It is important to remember that the strawman is not the property of the real being. The living man or woman is merely the surety (sucker) providing the labor, life-energy, and sweat-equity for the fiction owned by US Inc. and the bond-holder. The strawman is the front that enables the secured party to act in legal/commercial dealings without revealing his identity, and to deceive the real being, who signs in all matters as a surety and accommodation party, into thinking that the real being is doing something for himself rather than his owners/masters. Everything the real being signs on behalf of the strawman places title to whatever property is involved into the hands of the United States and the bond owner, i.e., the secured party over the strawman.
Do we have a claim on our all-caps strawman? The short answer is, “yes,” but only after we assert that claim properly. Otherwise, the presumption remains that US Inc. and the owners of the bondholders own the strawman.

The foundation of our claim is that they did not originate the strawman, but merely altered the original name by changing the upper- and lower-case name into a “same sounding” name spelled in all capital letters without full disclosure. That all-caps name is used to finance the system of power and self-enrichment of US Inc. and its owners at the expense of the enslavement of the people. They do not possess any authority to use the name based on the unlawful object of intent to perpetrate the scheme to reduce the people to slavery and peonage by engaging in fraudulent concealment and a mountain of other crimes. In addition, it is the living being to whom the name refers that provides the labor, substance, and life-force that gives value to the strawman, and thereby authorizes the real being to claim superior title to it. Those who expropriate the output of others for their own unjust enrichment, subjugate the populace, and bring about the ruin of those from whom they steal the rights, life force, labor, and wealth, have no legitimate grounds to assert a claim of superior title, either in law, equity, or commerce.

There is a sequence of steps that must be done to become free of the bondage-system that now enslaves mankind and regain lost freedom and independence. The system has not, to say the least, been forthcoming in educating the people concerning the true legal and commercial situation to which virtually everyone in the world is now subject.[6] A mother having given birth to her baby is not informed that by allowing her child’s birth certificate to be registered she is, for instance:

1. Informing on the baby criminally and declaring her newborn infant to be an enemy of the state with no rights;

2. Consigning the child to permanent slavery, peonage, and indentured servitude;

3. Declaring her baby to be fungible goods and the chattel property of the bankers and world powers.

If full disclosure, good faith, and genuine meeting of the minds prevailed, as is required for any purported contract to be an actual, bona fide contract enforceable at law, and the people knew the truth, the banks and governments of the world would be out of business. It has been a long, dangerous, often ruinous road—involving the blood, sweat, tears, property, and even the lives of many people—to uncover the nature of the clever scheme. Such people, most of whom not only love freedom and truth but principle for its own sake, have not been willing to remain in ignorance and bondage, and have diverted their lives to the task of understanding the nature of the system and discerning ways to become free of it.
Once you have control of the name you can use it for your benefit instead of the system using the name to use you for its benefit without your knowing what is happening.

[Ed. Note- A better conclusion may be: Once you change your relationship re the use of the name -- i.e. for the "owners" benefit -- then the fruits of any credit we create should be free to use without your needing to know what is happening.

[1] Black’s Law Dictionary, 6th Edition, defines “fungibles” as: “Goods which are identical with others of the same nature, such as grain and oil.” See also UCC 1-201(17).

[2] A “pink slip” pertaining to a motor vehicle is not title, but merely evidence of title. It indicates that title exists somewhere. Actual title to the vehicle consists of the original Manufacturer’s Statement (or Certificate) of Origin, the “MSO,” which, upon purchase of a new car, is sent to the State Department of Motor Vehicles. Whoever owns the MSO owns the vehicle, whereby one who buys a new car without taking possession of the MSO gifts his new purchase to the State, which may thereafter require that anyone using its property comply with all of the requirements of use, such as possessing a valid driver license, carrying insurance, complying with all the provisions of the Motor Vehicle Code, etc. Upon receipt of the MSO, however, the Department of Motor Vehicles micro-films, files, and then destroys the MSO. Inasmuch as only the original of a document counts in commerce, once the original MSO is destroyed, no proof of actual ownership exists. The microfilm is hearsay. This provides a forum for executing a new MSO and establishing ownership of the car in another jurisdiction where one’s ownership of the substance, i.e., the actual car, is acknowledged.

[3] On its face, this is a most startling statement, which requires clarification. The original Emergency War Powers of 1861, 12 Stat. 319, not only has never been repealed, but is the foundation for subsequent acts, such as the Trading With the Enemy Act of October 6, 1917, and the Amendatory Act thereto, i.e., the “Banking Relief Act,” of March 9, 1933, just after Roosevelt's Inauguration. The Amendatory Act (48 Stat. 1) amended the Trading With the Enemy Act, and was passed by Congress at a time when the United States was not in a shooting war with any foreign foe. The American people were (unknowingly) at war with their conquerors, the Banksters, who had defeated the country by the treachery of their something-for-nothing paper-money banking swindle and other deceits, rather than force of arms. The pen can indeed be mightier (and more suicidal for those who mindlessly use it) than the sword. This amended version of the Trading With the Enemy Act provided "legal" justification for dramatic increases in the power, scope, and authority of the U.S. Government (now owned by and an administrative agency of the bankers).

The original Trading with the Enemy Act excluded citizens of the United States from being treated as the enemy when involved in transactions wholly within the United States. The Amendatory Act of March 9, 1933, however, expressly included the people of the United States as the enemy by insertion of the following text: "...by any person within the United States or any place subject to the jurisdiction thereof..." Chapter 1, Title 1, Section 1(b).
By operation of law the American people became the "enemy" of the private Federal Reserve/IMF Creditors in bankruptcy, who have thereafter been administering their prize/conquest through their alter ego and front, the "U.S. Government." To regulate and control their slaves/chattel property, they rendered (under color of law and government) all intercourse illegal amongst the American people without obtaining permission through licensing. To travel, a driver's license is required; to open a business requires a business license (not to mention additional and on-going mountains of "red tape"); to work for another one must obtain licensing through a Social Security card.

To be "within the United States" one must merely be a "person" or "resident," i.e., a 14th Amendment "citizen of the United States." Although one can never know who actually knows what, the chances are overwhelmingly large that the vast majority of doctors and hospital personnel are as ignorant of how badly they’ve been had as the rest of their fellow countrymen. Part of the cleverness of the sting is that it has been structured so that the people end up policing and being policed by each other without ever knowing whose agenda they are actually fulfilling. It is possible that Henry Ford was correct in his celebrated statement: "It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning."

[4] The three means of ratifying an implied contract, i.e., a unilateral offer from the system to you, are: 1) Do nothing; 2) Accept benefits from the system; 3) Fail to know, declare, and properly notice the appropriate parties in the system of your applicable law.

[5] A given name sounds the same when spoken, regardless of whether the spelling on paper consists of all-capital letters (the strawman) or upper- and lower-case letters (symbolically representing the real being).

[6] The nature of the existing scenario is not, for instance, on the curriculum of any institution of public education, nor is it discussed in the media, news, law schools, etc."

Make of it what you will. I view the above as a reflection of the greed of the man/women as a whole and may just be what was needed to control those who have forgotten who they really are. Once we find LOVE in our hearts this system will crumble for it will no longer be needed.

Peace!

tl;dr.

"I. Background and framework.
The government founded by the original Constitution, 1787, is no longer operational. Instead, what is called the “Government of the United States” is a bankrupt, private corporation, owned, underwritten, and functioning in commerce as a front for the international bankers and the Powers-That-Be with which said bankers are allied. The entire institution, i.e., “US Inc.,” is private (not free) enterprise administering the ongoing business and political ends of the actual owners. In this current scenario, every action of US Inc. is a commercial transaction by and between fictitious entities all transpiring for the purpose of furthering the economic and political objectives of the alleged creditors.

This situation arose from the borrowing by USA from European central banks and owing the unpaid indebtedness to the Crown from the original joint-venture agreement between the Colonies (which are corporations of the Crown) and the Crown per se. It appears as though USA has been bankrupt from inception, i.e., from 1788, and the Constitution was drafted to “re-constitute” the unpaid debt and structure an organization for functioning in bankruptcy.

The Civil War was staged and financed by the bankers and the Crown to conquer the nation by engaging in the timeless strategy of “divide and conquer.” Pitting North against South resulted in the dissolution of the de jure Federal government of the organic Constitution. The States were drawn into the Central Government, as were—progressively—the people directly, with the whole conglomerate operating through the new Federal Government in the Emergency War Powers of 12 Stat. 319, 1861, under the “law of necessity.”

Thus, the “Government” functions under mere “color (appearance only) of government” with the President as acting dictator on behalf of the bankers under the President’s capacity as Commander in Chief of the Military. I.e., when the seven (7) Southern States walked out of Congress on March 27, 1861, Congress—and, indeed, the entire de jure Government of USA under the original Constitution—dissolved based on absence of a Congressional quorum to adjourn and re-convene. The result is that the actual winner of the Civil War was neither the North nor the South, but the bankers who owned the new Federal Government that defeated both North and South and absorbed and subserved the States into itself.

In accordance, inter alia, with the Limited Liability Act of 1851, the Emergency War Powers, 12 Stat. 319, the Civil Rights Act of 1866, and the constitutional provision allowing Congress authority to pass any law Congress wishes within the ten-mile square territory of Washington, DC, Article I, Section 8, Clause 17, the 14th Amendment was proclaimed ratified in 1868. Within that framework, on February 21st, 1871, Congress passed the District of Columbia Organic Act, Forty-first Congress, Session III, Chapter 62, page 419, 16 Stat. 419, “An Act to provide a Government for the District of Columbia,” which act was revised in 1874 and reorganized June 8, 1878, 20 Stat. 102, Chap 180, 45th Congress, 2nd Session, “An Act providing a permanent form of government for the District of Columbia.” This “government” is a private corporation now known and copyrighted by such names as “The United States Government,” “United States,” “U.S.,” “U.S.A.,” etc., all referenced herein as “US Inc.”

It is important to understand that US Inc. is not a country, but a corporation—and indeed a bankrupt corporation operating under color of government as the front and device for administering the conquest in law and commerce of the United States of America. The 14th Amendment and US Inc. are all private international law in the admiralty-maritime/Law Merchant of Roman Civil Law.

The 14th Amendment states: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.” This amendment allows US Inc. to have complete jurisdiction over “citizens,” i.e., corporate subsets of US Inc., which the de jure federal government did not and could not possess. The 14th Amendment also states (section 4): “The validity of the public debt of the United States authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion [per 12 Stat. 319], shall not be questioned.”

The 14th Amendment established the framework for complete conquest and absorption of the country, rendering the people permanent debtors, indentured servants in involuntary servitude, peonage, and also enemies of the government as a result, in accordance with 12 State 319, any aspect of US Inc. may summarily confiscate property in rem without necessity for judicial process whenever any citizen asserts a challenge to the laws of the United States, i.e., US Inc.

Remnants of the de jure Government remained after the 14th Amendment, however, based on such things as the continuing circulation of gold and silver coin (the money of sovereigns) and the fact that Senators were still elected to the Senate by Electors of the States rather than by direct, popular vote. Senators became elected by direct vote of the people with the passage of the 17th Amendment. The Civil War had forced each sovereign State to pledge its assets as collateral and become surety and a cosigner for the defaulted Federal Government’s debt to the bankers. This procedure was repeated in the 1933 bankruptcy, at which time gold and silver coin (substance) were outlawed as money for citizens of the United States (fictions). Inability to use gold and silver as money solidified the bankruptcy of US Inc. and foreclosed every such citizen from accessing real money for use in payment of debts, thereby denying access to sovereignty. US Inc. is completely devoid of rights, substance, standing in law, and sovereign character, as is every citizen of the United States.

II. The creation and nature of the strawman.
Because additional pledging of assets was required to enable the now-bankrupt corporation to continue to operate when civilly dead, the governors of all the States met to discuss the “emergency” declared by Franklin D. Roosevelt, i.e., the bankruptcy, and how to reorganize US Inc. to continue functioning when bankrupt by means of insurance underwriting by the creditors.

The governors of the States made a “pledge” to US Inc. to underwrite the bankruptcy through a grand scheme of limited-liability insurance. The people, through their “Certificates of Live Birth,” a/k/a “newborn identification,” were registered in the office of the county recorder by “registered agents” of the government such as the “registered doctor” and “registered nurse,” and were thereby established as property of the State. Remember “register” derives from “regis,” meaning “king,” whereby everything “registered” is there to record and keep track of the king’s property.

The newborn identification is identified with, and attaches to, the flesh-and-blood being by taking a drop of blood and the print (usually footprint) of the baby and applying them to the newborn identification. Once that certificate is registered, it is recorded as a “certificate of title,” as it were, to the real being. Since the point is to be able to enslave the child and render him a surety for the debt of the bankrupt US Inc., it makes no difference who or what the baby is. Everyone becomes classified as “fungible[1] goods,” like interchangeable bales of cotton.

The parents did not understand what was happening, so the process was thereby fraud based on deceit and non-disclosure. Obviously, with full disclosure of the terms and conditions involved in the alleged contract, no one would agree to go along with it. The agents of the government perpetrate a fraudulent transfer by registering the name, blood, and footprint of beings that is birthed by the living woman and not the corporate state (which can generate only more legal fictions, not real beings). This process amounts to theft of the real being by filing a piece of paper. The State did not create the name from which the all-caps strawman was derived, only colored the name into a form they could use. The name in upper- and lower-case letters pertains to the real being, while the all-caps strawman is a legal fiction used as credit against which to borrow at the expense of the life-force of the living being to which the name and registered newborn identification allegedly relates.

When the Governors of the States, at the Conference of Governors of March 6, 1933, pledged as State-registered assets the newborn identifications of those born in the State to the federal bankruptcy, the people’s energy was established as the collateral for backing the whole operation—the entire national debt. Since the States, being fictitious, commercial entities with no capacity to recognize real beings, could not pledge private, living people or their property, a “bridge” was needed between the living people and the bankruptcy of the federal US Inc. To accomplish this result the strawman was created by the Department of Commerce in Washington, DC, to function as a shill to operate out front publicly in place of the people. The scheme had to be so clever that the people would agree to operate as surety for the debts, charges, and obligations of the strawman without knowing what was happening to them, who did it, what they were agreeing to, or how the whole process worked.

The birth certificate with the all-caps name created by the U.S. Department of Commerce is a certificate of equity interest, akin to a “pink slip”[2] pertaining to a vehicle, and possibly a bill of lading, a document of bailment, which ships the cargo (new and original birth certificate) into the special maritime jurisdiction of the creditors to operate as collateral to back the bankruptcy reorganization of US Inc. via the Governor’s pledge. The all-caps strawman is thereby “birthed”—like a vessel—into the private, international-law special maritime jurisdiction of the bankers, et al, as a “citizen of the United States born [birthed] or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.”

By this scheme the living people assumed the roll of guarantor, accommodation party, and surety for the legal fiction that functions for the benefit and enrichment of the creditors. In this scenario it is the strawman, not the living being, that operates throughout the entirety of today’s law and commerce. One need only look at the Social Security Card, School Records, Passports, Driver’s Licenses, credit cards, utility bills, etc., all of which are always in all-capital letters—just as are gravestones of dead people all over the world and the parties to a dispute on the caption of a court brief—to see the ubiquitous use of the strawman in today’s commercial and legal world.

A “surety” is defined as “the one who is responsible to pay.” The real man is the surety and liable by contract to pay for the debts and obligations of the strawman, even though the real man is not, nor does he own, nor does he receive title to, anything purchased or accomplished by use of the strawman. The strawman is owned by US Inc. and the banks that purchased bonds issued by the Treasury against the strawman (as credit).

As stated, US Inc. is bankrupt, and has been since 1933. US Inc. has no gold or silver to pay any debts and is civilly dead. Having neither possession, nor right of possession, nor legal capacity to use gold and silver, i.e., “lawful money,” the only asset left to finance the continued operation of the bankrupt US Inc., i.e., the “government,” was the people, who were hypothecated as the credit/collateral to finance the bankruptcy US Inc. uses the substance and labor of the people to finance its entire operation. reorganization and insurance underwriting.

The scenario is extremely sophisticated, resulting in the operation of a vast and pervasive administration of legalized peonage, slavery, permanent indentured servitude, and collectivism (communism) wherein the people have forfeited all standing in law and are “dead to rights.” The Powers-That-Be borrow against your life, rights, and labor to finance their administration of the system they use to exploit, plunder, and dominate you, all under the pretext/presumption that they are acting as your agents to fulfill your own requests. In this scheme one is punished when one fails to pay or obey.

The sequence of steps involved in creating the existing system, in accordance with the best research to date (resulting from the efforts of many devoted people), is as follows in the United States:

1. A living, flesh-and-blood baby is born from its mother’s womb.

2. The legal/commercial system, existing and functioning entirely in the abstract realm of words, contracts, legal persons, corporate entities, laws, symbols, ideas, commerce, private international law, etc., (which constitutes the “matrix”) cannot see, recognize, or deal directly with the real world, including real people. The system itself is imaginary, while the real world is genuine and substantive. Consequently, the system deals only with documents and matters in the abstract realm that form, by presumption, ratified implied contract attached to the real world by “operation of law” and the tacit consent of the people.

3. Just after birth, the involved doctors and hospitals have the mother sign a “birth certificate,” i.e., a “certificate of live birth,” without telling the mother (and undoubtedly without themselves knowing the truth) that by so doing she and the doctor are criminally informing on her newborn baby as an enemy of the state in accordance with the War Powers and turning the baby over to the bankers as chattel property and slave, pledging the baby’s life-energy and labor in perpetuity as the collateral for borrowing into existence all “currency” (debt-paper) that passes as “money” today.[3]

4. The original birth certificate, a “Certificate of Live Birth,” constitutes, as it were, a “certificate of title” to the real being, and is in essence the equivalent of a “manufacturer’s statement (or certificate) of origin,” i.e., “MSO” or “MCO,” which is created upon manufacturing an automobile and constitutes title to the vehicle.

5. Just as in the case of a car, anything being “registered” in the legal system is established on the record as property of the king. The key here is "registered," a word deriving from “regis,” meaning “king,” whereby everything “registered” is recorded as the king’s property.

6. The sequence of steps concerning the birth certificate appears to be as follows:
a. After registration of the Certificate of Live Birth in the office of the county recorder, the county recorder makes a certified, true copy or microfilm, retains it, and sends the original to the Department of Commerce in the State.
b. As in the case of the county recorder, the State Department of Commerce makes a certified, true copy or microfilm, retains it, and sends the original to the Department of Commerce of the Federal Government in Washington, DC.
c. The Department of Commerce in Washington then makes a certified, true copy and, in addition, creates a new document, constituting a “certificate of equity interest,” which is labeled “Birth Certificate.” This birth certificate, however, has the child’s name in all-capital letters, unlike the original birth certificate filed in the county recorder on which the name was in upper- and lower-case letters.
d. The Department of Commerce in Washington, DC then forwards the originals of both documents to the record repository in such locations as The Hague, for holding on behalf of the international banks, e.g., the “World Bank,” the “Bank of International Settlement,” IMF, et al. There the documents remain on deposit as the collateral/asset for hypothecating into existence the credit that finances the underwriting of the world’s bankrupt governments.

7. By this means, the people become the "utility" for the "transmission" of energy from reality into the fictitious, colorable realm of international commerce.


The private, international law that governs the legal/commercial system today is the Uniform Commercial Code, which is established as the law of the land in the United States in Public Laws 88-243 and 88-244. The UCC is private, not public, law, and is copyrighted by Unidroit, an Italian corporation out of the Vatican.
Now the people, via their all-caps names, are classified as “human resources,” and "goods" under the Uniform Commercial Code—see Section 2-105(1) and 9-105(1) in which animals, i.e. humans and their unborn offspring, become "goods" saleable in commerce.

The Department of Treasury issues bonds on the birth certificates, which are sold through securities exchanges and purchased—by extending credit on the bank’s books—by the Federal Reserve Bank, which uses the bonds as “reserves” for creating credit in the fractional reserve system. The people’s labor becomes the collateral for issuing Federal Reserve Notes or some other form of "debt obligation" (see 18 USC §411). The bonds are held in trust for the purchaser, now the “secured party” and holder in due course, at the Resolution Trust Company at 55 Water Street, in New York City, about two blocks down the street from the Federal Reserve. It is a high-rise office building with a sign that reads, "The Tower of Power."

After the New Deal the all-caps name, hereinafter “strawman,” is what the system deals with, since it cannot interface directly with real beings. The real being, however, is presumed to have ratified the deal, agreed to the pledge, by the three (3) means for signifying ratification of implied contracts[4].

Thereafter, the system functions on the basis of possessing complete authority to do anything it wishes with the strawman, which is the system’s own creation and property and does not belong to the living being to whom the strawman purportedly pertains.

This scheme of legal/commercial peonage and slavery is outside the Constitution, which does not apply in any matters concerning the resulting process. The system functions in the realm of private contract, private international law, in international commerce, i.e., the private international law of the private, colorable Law Merchant, not within the direct purview of the Constitution, which merely sanctifies the operational right to contract.

Thereafter, every time the real being signs his name on any legal/commercial document, he is creating more debt-currency into existence, signing as the “surety,” or “accommodation party” per the Uniform commercial Code §3-415. He is also placing title to whatever property is involved in the hands of the bond-holder.
In this scenario, the "name," i.e., strawman, is credit and is a constructive trust (trust created by operation of law, i.e., fiat) holding all the real assets, i.e., “sweat-equity,” created by the labor of the real being. The right to the use has been separated from the title. The "strawman" holds the title and belongs to the bond-holder, not the real being. The flesh-and-blood man or women has only naked possession with a limited "right" to use the thing, such as one’s body, possessions, or land. Such illusion of ownership and right is essential to maintain the sting on an ongoing basis, keep the people from completely rebelling if their status as slaves was self-evident, and fostering more enthusiasm to work and produce by thinking that they are doing so for their own benefit rather than for the enrichment and power of their owners/masters/rulers.

When the strawman violates some rule or statute, such as is presumed whenever the strawman receives a traffic ticket, the flesh-and-blood being must appear at an arraignment and admit that he is the surety and accommodation party for the strawman, and thereby agree to provide the "energy" necessary for providing whatever fine or penalty is deemed due and payable. The real being has re-confirmed the contract of implied unification of the real being with the strawman by saying “here” when the strawman’s name is called in the idem sonans, i.e., “same-sound,” tribunal.[5] This is why it essential for the operation of the system that people "voluntarily give" their names to the court. The “Defendant” in the action is the strawman, not the real being. The real being confirms that he is, or may legally be treated the same as, the Defendant. Through this process one has entered through a door over which is inscribed: “Abandon hope all ye who enter here.”
It is now clear that the strawman is:

1. A “nom de guerre,” meaning “a name of war,” whereby the strawman is regarded as being in a state of “insurrection or rebellion” per Section 4 of the 14th Amendment, 12 Stat. 319, and the Trading With The Enemy Act;
2. A “stramineus homo,” or “strawman,” the legal and commercial consequences/aspects of which are that it is a permanent debtor in legal incapacity, a dead estate;
3. An artificial entity owned by the secured party who bought into the bond placed on the market by the U.S. Treasury.

It is important to remember that the strawman is not the property of the real being. The living man or woman is merely the surety (sucker) providing the labor, life-energy, and sweat-equity for the fiction owned by US Inc. and the bond-holder. The strawman is the front that enables the secured party to act in legal/commercial dealings without revealing his identity, and to deceive the real being, who signs in all matters as a surety and accommodation party, into thinking that the real being is doing something for himself rather than his owners/masters. Everything the real being signs on behalf of the strawman places title to whatever property is involved into the hands of the United States and the bond owner, i.e., the secured party over the strawman.
Do we have a claim on our all-caps strawman? The short answer is, “yes,” but only after we assert that claim properly. Otherwise, the presumption remains that US Inc. and the owners of the bondholders own the strawman.

The foundation of our claim is that they did not originate the strawman, but merely altered the original name by changing the upper- and lower-case name into a “same sounding” name spelled in all capital letters without full disclosure. That all-caps name is used to finance the system of power and self-enrichment of US Inc. and its owners at the expense of the enslavement of the people. They do not possess any authority to use the name based on the unlawful object of intent to perpetrate the scheme to reduce the people to slavery and peonage by engaging in fraudulent concealment and a mountain of other crimes. In addition, it is the living being to whom the name refers that provides the labor, substance, and life-force that gives value to the strawman, and thereby authorizes the real being to claim superior title to it. Those who expropriate the output of others for their own unjust enrichment, subjugate the populace, and bring about the ruin of those from whom they steal the rights, life force, labor, and wealth, have no legitimate grounds to assert a claim of superior title, either in law, equity, or commerce.

There is a sequence of steps that must be done to become free of the bondage-system that now enslaves mankind and regain lost freedom and independence. The system has not, to say the least, been forthcoming in educating the people concerning the true legal and commercial situation to which virtually everyone in the world is now subject.[6] A mother having given birth to her baby is not informed that by allowing her child’s birth certificate to be registered she is, for instance:

1. Informing on the baby criminally and declaring her newborn infant to be an enemy of the state with no rights;

2. Consigning the child to permanent slavery, peonage, and indentured servitude;

3. Declaring her baby to be fungible goods and the chattel property of the bankers and world powers.

If full disclosure, good faith, and genuine meeting of the minds prevailed, as is required for any purported contract to be an actual, bona fide contract enforceable at law, and the people knew the truth, the banks and governments of the world would be out of business. It has been a long, dangerous, often ruinous road—involving the blood, sweat, tears, property, and even the lives of many people—to uncover the nature of the clever scheme. Such people, most of whom not only love freedom and truth but principle for its own sake, have not been willing to remain in ignorance and bondage, and have diverted their lives to the task of understanding the nature of the system and discerning ways to become free of it.
Once you have control of the name you can use it for your benefit instead of the system using the name to use you for its benefit without your knowing what is happening.

[Ed. Note- A better conclusion may be: Once you change your relationship re the use of the name -- i.e. for the "owners" benefit -- then the fruits of any credit we create should be free to use without your needing to know what is happening.

[1] Black’s Law Dictionary, 6th Edition, defines “fungibles” as: “Goods which are identical with others of the same nature, such as grain and oil.” See also UCC 1-201(17).

[2] A “pink slip” pertaining to a motor vehicle is not title, but merely evidence of title. It indicates that title exists somewhere. Actual title to the vehicle consists of the original Manufacturer’s Statement (or Certificate) of Origin, the “MSO,” which, upon purchase of a new car, is sent to the State Department of Motor Vehicles. Whoever owns the MSO owns the vehicle, whereby one who buys a new car without taking possession of the MSO gifts his new purchase to the State, which may thereafter require that anyone using its property comply with all of the requirements of use, such as possessing a valid driver license, carrying insurance, complying with all the provisions of the Motor Vehicle Code, etc. Upon receipt of the MSO, however, the Department of Motor Vehicles micro-films, files, and then destroys the MSO. Inasmuch as only the original of a document counts in commerce, once the original MSO is destroyed, no proof of actual ownership exists. The microfilm is hearsay. This provides a forum for executing a new MSO and establishing ownership of the car in another jurisdiction where one’s ownership of the substance, i.e., the actual car, is acknowledged.

[3] On its face, this is a most startling statement, which requires clarification. The original Emergency War Powers of 1861, 12 Stat. 319, not only has never been repealed, but is the foundation for subsequent acts, such as the Trading With the Enemy Act of October 6, 1917, and the Amendatory Act thereto, i.e., the “Banking Relief Act,” of March 9, 1933, just after Roosevelt's Inauguration. The Amendatory Act (48 Stat. 1) amended the Trading With the Enemy Act, and was passed by Congress at a time when the United States was not in a shooting war with any foreign foe. The American people were (unknowingly) at war with their conquerors, the Banksters, who had defeated the country by the treachery of their something-for-nothing paper-money banking swindle and other deceits, rather than force of arms. The pen can indeed be mightier (and more suicidal for those who mindlessly use it) than the sword. This amended version of the Trading With the Enemy Act provided "legal" justification for dramatic increases in the power, scope, and authority of the U.S. Government (now owned by and an administrative agency of the bankers).

The original Trading with the Enemy Act excluded citizens of the United States from being treated as the enemy when involved in transactions wholly within the United States. The Amendatory Act of March 9, 1933, however, expressly included the people of the United States as the enemy by insertion of the following text: "...by any person within the United States or any place subject to the jurisdiction thereof..." Chapter 1, Title 1, Section 1(b).
By operation of law the American people became the "enemy" of the private Federal Reserve/IMF Creditors in bankruptcy, who have thereafter been administering their prize/conquest through their alter ego and front, the "U.S. Government." To regulate and control their slaves/chattel property, they rendered (under color of law and government) all intercourse illegal amongst the American people without obtaining permission through licensing. To travel, a driver's license is required; to open a business requires a business license (not to mention additional and on-going mountains of "red tape"); to work for another one must obtain licensing through a Social Security card.

To be "within the United States" one must merely be a "person" or "resident," i.e., a 14th Amendment "citizen of the United States." Although one can never know who actually knows what, the chances are overwhelmingly large that the vast majority of doctors and hospital personnel are as ignorant of how badly they’ve been had as the rest of their fellow countrymen. Part of the cleverness of the sting is that it has been structured so that the people end up policing and being policed by each other without ever knowing whose agenda they are actually fulfilling. It is possible that Henry Ford was correct in his celebrated statement: "It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning."

[4] The three means of ratifying an implied contract, i.e., a unilateral offer from the system to you, are: 1) Do nothing; 2) Accept benefits from the system; 3) Fail to know, declare, and properly notice the appropriate parties in the system of your applicable law.

[5] A given name sounds the same when spoken, regardless of whether the spelling on paper consists of all-capital letters (the strawman) or upper- and lower-case letters (symbolically representing the real being).

[6] The nature of the existing scenario is not, for instance, on the curriculum of any institution of public education, nor is it discussed in the media, news, law schools, etc."

Make of it what you will. I view the above as a reflection of the greed of the man/women as a whole and may just be what was needed to control those who have forgotten who they really are. Once we find LOVE in our hearts this system will crumble for it will no longer be needed.

Peace!

[centrelink1]

Not a lightweight topic, no hocus pocus or interpretation.

I am going to past a long explanation as to why most have no clue why and how this world operates. Why most do not know who they really are and what your relationship with government really is. In a nutshell it is all an illusion. Read though it and for those who wonder where justice lies and what justice is....you may find it below. This was posted in a forum i frequent and I could not explain it any better than the author. I hope it resonates with you all. This could be the piece of the puzzle you are missing.

----

"I. Background and framework.
The government founded by the original Constitution, 1787, is no longer operational. Instead, what is called the “Government of the United States” is a bankrupt, private corporation, owned, underwritten, and functioning in commerce as a front for the international bankers and the Powers-That-Be with which said bankers are allied. The entire institution, i.e., “US Inc.,” is private (not free) enterprise administering the ongoing business and political ends of the actual owners. In this current scenario, every action of US Inc. is a commercial transaction by and between fictitious entities all transpiring for the purpose of furthering the economic and political objectives of the alleged creditors.

This situation arose from the borrowing by USA from European central banks and owing the unpaid indebtedness to the Crown from the original joint-venture agreement between the Colonies (which are corporations of the Crown) and the Crown per se. It appears as though USA has been bankrupt from inception, i.e., from 1788, and the Constitution was drafted to “re-constitute” the unpaid debt and structure an organization for functioning in bankruptcy.

The Civil War was staged and financed by the bankers and the Crown to conquer the nation by engaging in the timeless strategy of “divide and conquer.” Pitting North against South resulted in the dissolution of the de jure Federal government of the organic Constitution. The States were drawn into the Central Government, as were—progressively—the people directly, with the whole conglomerate operating through the new Federal Government in the Emergency War Powers of 12 Stat. 319, 1861, under the “law of necessity.”

Thus, the “Government” functions under mere “color (appearance only) of government” with the President as acting dictator on behalf of the bankers under the President’s capacity as Commander in Chief of the Military. I.e., when the seven (7) Southern States walked out of Congress on March 27, 1861, Congress—and, indeed, the entire de jure Government of USA under the original Constitution—dissolved based on absence of a Congressional quorum to adjourn and re-convene. The result is that the actual winner of the Civil War was neither the North nor the South, but the bankers who owned the new Federal Government that defeated both North and South and absorbed and subserved the States into itself.

In accordance, inter alia, with the Limited Liability Act of 1851, the Emergency War Powers, 12 Stat. 319, the Civil Rights Act of 1866, and the constitutional provision allowing Congress authority to pass any law Congress wishes within the ten-mile square territory of Washington, DC, Article I, Section 8, Clause 17, the 14th Amendment was proclaimed ratified in 1868. Within that framework, on February 21st, 1871, Congress passed the District of Columbia Organic Act, Forty-first Congress, Session III, Chapter 62, page 419, 16 Stat. 419, “An Act to provide a Government for the District of Columbia,” which act was revised in 1874 and reorganized June 8, 1878, 20 Stat. 102, Chap 180, 45th Congress, 2nd Session, “An Act providing a permanent form of government for the District of Columbia.” This “government” is a private corporation now known and copyrighted by such names as “The United States Government,” “United States,” “U.S.,” “U.S.A.,” etc., all referenced herein as “US Inc.”

It is important to understand that US Inc. is not a country, but a corporation—and indeed a bankrupt corporation operating under color of government as the front and device for administering the conquest in law and commerce of the United States of America. The 14th Amendment and US Inc. are all private international law in the admiralty-maritime/Law Merchant of Roman Civil Law.

The 14th Amendment states: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.” This amendment allows US Inc. to have complete jurisdiction over “citizens,” i.e., corporate subsets of US Inc., which the de jure federal government did not and could not possess. The 14th Amendment also states (section 4): “The validity of the public debt of the United States authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion [per 12 Stat. 319], shall not be questioned.”

The 14th Amendment established the framework for complete conquest and absorption of the country, rendering the people permanent debtors, indentured servants in involuntary servitude, peonage, and also enemies of the government as a result, in accordance with 12 State 319, any aspect of US Inc. may summarily confiscate property in rem without necessity for judicial process whenever any citizen asserts a challenge to the laws of the United States, i.e., US Inc.

Remnants of the de jure Government remained after the 14th Amendment, however, based on such things as the continuing circulation of gold and silver coin (the money of sovereigns) and the fact that Senators were still elected to the Senate by Electors of the States rather than by direct, popular vote. Senators became elected by direct vote of the people with the passage of the 17th Amendment. The Civil War had forced each sovereign State to pledge its assets as collateral and become surety and a cosigner for the defaulted Federal Government’s debt to the bankers. This procedure was repeated in the 1933 bankruptcy, at which time gold and silver coin (substance) were outlawed as money for citizens of the United States (fictions). Inability to use gold and silver as money solidified the bankruptcy of US Inc. and foreclosed every such citizen from accessing real money for use in payment of debts, thereby denying access to sovereignty. US Inc. is completely devoid of rights, substance, standing in law, and sovereign character, as is every citizen of the United States.

II. The creation and nature of the strawman.
Because additional pledging of assets was required to enable the now-bankrupt corporation to continue to operate when civilly dead, the governors of all the States met to discuss the “emergency” declared by Franklin D. Roosevelt, i.e., the bankruptcy, and how to reorganize US Inc. to continue functioning when bankrupt by means of insurance underwriting by the creditors.

The governors of the States made a “pledge” to US Inc. to underwrite the bankruptcy through a grand scheme of limited-liability insurance. The people, through their “Certificates of Live Birth,” a/k/a “newborn identification,” were registered in the office of the county recorder by “registered agents” of the government such as the “registered doctor” and “registered nurse,” and were thereby established as property of the State. Remember “register” derives from “regis,” meaning “king,” whereby everything “registered” is there to record and keep track of the king’s property.

The newborn identification is identified with, and attaches to, the flesh-and-blood being by taking a drop of blood and the print (usually footprint) of the baby and applying them to the newborn identification. Once that certificate is registered, it is recorded as a “certificate of title,” as it were, to the real being. Since the point is to be able to enslave the child and render him a surety for the debt of the bankrupt US Inc., it makes no difference who or what the baby is. Everyone becomes classified as “fungible[1] goods,” like interchangeable bales of cotton.

The parents did not understand what was happening, so the process was thereby fraud based on deceit and non-disclosure. Obviously, with full disclosure of the terms and conditions involved in the alleged contract, no one would agree to go along with it. The agents of the government perpetrate a fraudulent transfer by registering the name, blood, and footprint of beings that is birthed by the living woman and not the corporate state (which can generate only more legal fictions, not real beings). This process amounts to theft of the real being by filing a piece of paper. The State did not create the name from which the all-caps strawman was derived, only colored the name into a form they could use. The name in upper- and lower-case letters pertains to the real being, while the all-caps strawman is a legal fiction used as credit against which to borrow at the expense of the life-force of the living being to which the name and registered newborn identification allegedly relates.

When the Governors of the States, at the Conference of Governors of March 6, 1933, pledged as State-registered assets the newborn identifications of those born in the State to the federal bankruptcy, the people’s energy was established as the collateral for backing the whole operation—the entire national debt. Since the States, being fictitious, commercial entities with no capacity to recognize real beings, could not pledge private, living people or their property, a “bridge” was needed between the living people and the bankruptcy of the federal US Inc. To accomplish this result the strawman was created by the Department of Commerce in Washington, DC, to function as a shill to operate out front publicly in place of the people. The scheme had to be so clever that the people would agree to operate as surety for the debts, charges, and obligations of the strawman without knowing what was happening to them, who did it, what they were agreeing to, or how the whole process worked.

The birth certificate with the all-caps name created by the U.S. Department of Commerce is a certificate of equity interest, akin to a “pink slip”[2] pertaining to a vehicle, and possibly a bill of lading, a document of bailment, which ships the cargo (new and original birth certificate) into the special maritime jurisdiction of the creditors to operate as collateral to back the bankruptcy reorganization of US Inc. via the Governor’s pledge. The all-caps strawman is thereby “birthed”—like a vessel—into the private, international-law special maritime jurisdiction of the bankers, et al, as a “citizen of the United States born [birthed] or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.”

By this scheme the living people assumed the roll of guarantor, accommodation party, and surety for the legal fiction that functions for the benefit and enrichment of the creditors. In this scenario it is the strawman, not the living being, that operates throughout the entirety of today’s law and commerce. One need only look at the Social Security Card, School Records, Passports, Driver’s Licenses, credit cards, utility bills, etc., all of which are always in all-capital letters—just as are gravestones of dead people all over the world and the parties to a dispute on the caption of a court brief—to see the ubiquitous use of the strawman in today’s commercial and legal world.

A “surety” is defined as “the one who is responsible to pay.” The real man is the surety and liable by contract to pay for the debts and obligations of the strawman, even though the real man is not, nor does he own, nor does he receive title to, anything purchased or accomplished by use of the strawman. The strawman is owned by US Inc. and the banks that purchased bonds issued by the Treasury against the strawman (as credit).

As stated, US Inc. is bankrupt, and has been since 1933. US Inc. has no gold or silver to pay any debts and is civilly dead. Having neither possession, nor right of possession, nor legal capacity to use gold and silver, i.e., “lawful money,” the only asset left to finance the continued operation of the bankrupt US Inc., i.e., the “government,” was the people, who were hypothecated as the credit/collateral to finance the bankruptcy US Inc. uses the substance and labor of the people to finance its entire operation. reorganization and insurance underwriting.

The scenario is extremely sophisticated, resulting in the operation of a vast and pervasive administration of legalized peonage, slavery, permanent indentured servitude, and collectivism (communism) wherein the people have forfeited all standing in law and are “dead to rights.” The Powers-That-Be borrow against your life, rights, and labor to finance their administration of the system they use to exploit, plunder, and dominate you, all under the pretext/presumption that they are acting as your agents to fulfill your own requests. In this scheme one is punished when one fails to pay or obey.

The sequence of steps involved in creating the existing system, in accordance with the best research to date (resulting from the efforts of many devoted people), is as follows in the United States:

1. A living, flesh-and-blood baby is born from its mother’s womb.

2. The legal/commercial system, existing and functioning entirely in the abstract realm of words, contracts, legal persons, corporate entities, laws, symbols, ideas, commerce, private international law, etc., (which constitutes the “matrix”) cannot see, recognize, or deal directly with the real world, including real people. The system itself is imaginary, while the real world is genuine and substantive. Consequently, the system deals only with documents and matters in the abstract realm that form, by presumption, ratified implied contract attached to the real world by “operation of law” and the tacit consent of the people.

3. Just after birth, the involved doctors and hospitals have the mother sign a “birth certificate,” i.e., a “certificate of live birth,” without telling the mother (and undoubtedly without themselves knowing the truth) that by so doing she and the doctor are criminally informing on her newborn baby as an enemy of the state in accordance with the War Powers and turning the baby over to the bankers as chattel property and slave, pledging the baby’s life-energy and labor in perpetuity as the collateral for borrowing into existence all “currency” (debt-paper) that passes as “money” today.[3]

4. The original birth certificate, a “Certificate of Live Birth,” constitutes, as it were, a “certificate of title” to the real being, and is in essence the equivalent of a “manufacturer’s statement (or certificate) of origin,” i.e., “MSO” or “MCO,” which is created upon manufacturing an automobile and constitutes title to the vehicle.

5. Just as in the case of a car, anything being “registered” in the legal system is established on the record as property of the king. The key here is "registered," a word deriving from “regis,” meaning “king,” whereby everything “registered” is recorded as the king’s property.

6. The sequence of steps concerning the birth certificate appears to be as follows:
a. After registration of the Certificate of Live Birth in the office of the county recorder, the county recorder makes a certified, true copy or microfilm, retains it, and sends the original to the Department of Commerce in the State.
b. As in the case of the county recorder, the State Department of Commerce makes a certified, true copy or microfilm, retains it, and sends the original to the Department of Commerce of the Federal Government in Washington, DC.
c. The Department of Commerce in Washington then makes a certified, true copy and, in addition, creates a new document, constituting a “certificate of equity interest,” which is labeled “Birth Certificate.” This birth certificate, however, has the child’s name in all-capital letters, unlike the original birth certificate filed in the county recorder on which the name was in upper- and lower-case letters.
d. The Department of Commerce in Washington, DC then forwards the originals of both documents to the record repository in such locations as The Hague, for holding on behalf of the international banks, e.g., the “World Bank,” the “Bank of International Settlement,” IMF, et al. There the documents remain on deposit as the collateral/asset for hypothecating into existence the credit that finances the underwriting of the world’s bankrupt governments.

7. By this means, the people become the "utility" for the "transmission" of energy from reality into the fictitious, colorable realm of international commerce.


The private, international law that governs the legal/commercial system today is the Uniform Commercial Code, which is established as the law of the land in the United States in Public Laws 88-243 and 88-244. The UCC is private, not public, law, and is copyrighted by Unidroit, an Italian corporation out of the Vatican.
Now the people, via their all-caps names, are classified as “human resources,” and "goods" under the Uniform Commercial Code—see Section 2-105(1) and 9-105(1) in which animals, i.e. humans and their unborn offspring, become "goods" saleable in commerce.

The Department of Treasury issues bonds on the birth certificates, which are sold through securities exchanges and purchased—by extending credit on the bank’s books—by the Federal Reserve Bank, which uses the bonds as “reserves” for creating credit in the fractional reserve system. The people’s labor becomes the collateral for issuing Federal Reserve Notes or some other form of "debt obligation" (see 18 USC §411). The bonds are held in trust for the purchaser, now the “secured party” and holder in due course, at the Resolution Trust Company at 55 Water Street, in New York City, about two blocks down the street from the Federal Reserve. It is a high-rise office building with a sign that reads, "The Tower of Power."

After the New Deal the all-caps name, hereinafter “strawman,” is what the system deals with, since it cannot interface directly with real beings. The real being, however, is presumed to have ratified the deal, agreed to the pledge, by the three (3) means for signifying ratification of implied contracts[4].

Thereafter, the system functions on the basis of possessing complete authority to do anything it wishes with the strawman, which is the system’s own creation and property and does not belong to the living being to whom the strawman purportedly pertains.

This scheme of legal/commercial peonage and slavery is outside the Constitution, which does not apply in any matters concerning the resulting process. The system functions in the realm of private contract, private international law, in international commerce, i.e., the private international law of the private, colorable Law Merchant, not within the direct purview of the Constitution, which merely sanctifies the operational right to contract.

Thereafter, every time the real being signs his name on any legal/commercial document, he is creating more debt-currency into existence, signing as the “surety,” or “accommodation party” per the Uniform commercial Code §3-415. He is also placing title to whatever property is involved in the hands of the bond-holder.
In this scenario, the "name," i.e., strawman, is credit and is a constructive trust (trust created by operation of law, i.e., fiat) holding all the real assets, i.e., “sweat-equity,” created by the labor of the real being. The right to the use has been separated from the title. The "strawman" holds the title and belongs to the bond-holder, not the real being. The flesh-and-blood man or women has only naked possession with a limited "right" to use the thing, such as one’s body, possessions, or land. Such illusion of ownership and right is essential to maintain the sting on an ongoing basis, keep the people from completely rebelling if their status as slaves was self-evident, and fostering more enthusiasm to work and produce by thinking that they are doing so for their own benefit rather than for the enrichment and power of their owners/masters/rulers.

When the strawman violates some rule or statute, such as is presumed whenever the strawman receives a traffic ticket, the flesh-and-blood being must appear at an arraignment and admit that he is the surety and accommodation party for the strawman, and thereby agree to provide the "energy" necessary for providing whatever fine or penalty is deemed due and payable. The real being has re-confirmed the contract of implied unification of the real being with the strawman by saying “here” when the strawman’s name is called in the idem sonans, i.e., “same-sound,” tribunal.[5] This is why it essential for the operation of the system that people "voluntarily give" their names to the court. The “Defendant” in the action is the strawman, not the real being. The real being confirms that he is, or may legally be treated the same as, the Defendant. Through this process one has entered through a door over which is inscribed: “Abandon hope all ye who enter here.”
It is now clear that the strawman is:

1. A “nom de guerre,” meaning “a name of war,” whereby the strawman is regarded as being in a state of “insurrection or rebellion” per Section 4 of the 14th Amendment, 12 Stat. 319, and the Trading With The Enemy Act;
2. A “stramineus homo,” or “strawman,” the legal and commercial consequences/aspects of which are that it is a permanent debtor in legal incapacity, a dead estate;
3. An artificial entity owned by the secured party who bought into the bond placed on the market by the U.S. Treasury.

It is important to remember that the strawman is not the property of the real being. The living man or woman is merely the surety (sucker) providing the labor, life-energy, and sweat-equity for the fiction owned by US Inc. and the bond-holder. The strawman is the front that enables the secured party to act in legal/commercial dealings without revealing his identity, and to deceive the real being, who signs in all matters as a surety and accommodation party, into thinking that the real being is doing something for himself rather than his owners/masters. Everything the real being signs on behalf of the strawman places title to whatever property is involved into the hands of the United States and the bond owner, i.e., the secured party over the strawman.
Do we have a claim on our all-caps strawman? The short answer is, “yes,” but only after we assert that claim properly. Otherwise, the presumption remains that US Inc. and the owners of the bondholders own the strawman.

The foundation of our claim is that they did not originate the strawman, but merely altered the original name by changing the upper- and lower-case name into a “same sounding” name spelled in all capital letters without full disclosure. That all-caps name is used to finance the system of power and self-enrichment of US Inc. and its owners at the expense of the enslavement of the people. They do not possess any authority to use the name based on the unlawful object of intent to perpetrate the scheme to reduce the people to slavery and peonage by engaging in fraudulent concealment and a mountain of other crimes. In addition, it is the living being to whom the name refers that provides the labor, substance, and life-force that gives value to the strawman, and thereby authorizes the real being to claim superior title to it. Those who expropriate the output of others for their own unjust enrichment, subjugate the populace, and bring about the ruin of those from whom they steal the rights, life force, labor, and wealth, have no legitimate grounds to assert a claim of superior title, either in law, equity, or commerce.

There is a sequence of steps that must be done to become free of the bondage-system that now enslaves mankind and regain lost freedom and independence. The system has not, to say the least, been forthcoming in educating the people concerning the true legal and commercial situation to which virtually everyone in the world is now subject.[6] A mother having given birth to her baby is not informed that by allowing her child’s birth certificate to be registered she is, for instance:

1. Informing on the baby criminally and declaring her newborn infant to be an enemy of the state with no rights;

2. Consigning the child to permanent slavery, peonage, and indentured servitude;

3. Declaring her baby to be fungible goods and the chattel property of the bankers and world powers.

If full disclosure, good faith, and genuine meeting of the minds prevailed, as is required for any purported contract to be an actual, bona fide contract enforceable at law, and the people knew the truth, the banks and governments of the world would be out of business. It has been a long, dangerous, often ruinous road—involving the blood, sweat, tears, property, and even the lives of many people—to uncover the nature of the clever scheme. Such people, most of whom not only love freedom and truth but principle for its own sake, have not been willing to remain in ignorance and bondage, and have diverted their lives to the task of understanding the nature of the system and discerning ways to become free of it.
Once you have control of the name you can use it for your benefit instead of the system using the name to use you for its benefit without your knowing what is happening.

[Ed. Note- A better conclusion may be: Once you change your relationship re the use of the name -- i.e. for the "owners" benefit -- then the fruits of any credit we create should be free to use without your needing to know what is happening.

[1] Black’s Law Dictionary, 6th Edition, defines “fungibles” as: “Goods which are identical with others of the same nature, such as grain and oil.” See also UCC 1-201(17).

[2] A “pink slip” pertaining to a motor vehicle is not title, but merely evidence of title. It indicates that title exists somewhere. Actual title to the vehicle consists of the original Manufacturer’s Statement (or Certificate) of Origin, the “MSO,” which, upon purchase of a new car, is sent to the State Department of Motor Vehicles. Whoever owns the MSO owns the vehicle, whereby one who buys a new car without taking possession of the MSO gifts his new purchase to the State, which may thereafter require that anyone using its property comply with all of the requirements of use, such as possessing a valid driver license, carrying insurance, complying with all the provisions of the Motor Vehicle Code, etc. Upon receipt of the MSO, however, the Department of Motor Vehicles micro-films, files, and then destroys the MSO. Inasmuch as only the original of a document counts in commerce, once the original MSO is destroyed, no proof of actual ownership exists. The microfilm is hearsay. This provides a forum for executing a new MSO and establishing ownership of the car in another jurisdiction where one’s ownership of the substance, i.e., the actual car, is acknowledged.

[3] On its face, this is a most startling statement, which requires clarification. The original Emergency War Powers of 1861, 12 Stat. 319, not only has never been repealed, but is the foundation for subsequent acts, such as the Trading With the Enemy Act of October 6, 1917, and the Amendatory Act thereto, i.e., the “Banking Relief Act,” of March 9, 1933, just after Roosevelt's Inauguration. The Amendatory Act (48 Stat. 1) amended the Trading With the Enemy Act, and was passed by Congress at a time when the United States was not in a shooting war with any foreign foe. The American people were (unknowingly) at war with their conquerors, the Banksters, who had defeated the country by the treachery of their something-for-nothing paper-money banking swindle and other deceits, rather than force of arms. The pen can indeed be mightier (and more suicidal for those who mindlessly use it) than the sword. This amended version of the Trading With the Enemy Act provided "legal" justification for dramatic increases in the power, scope, and authority of the U.S. Government (now owned by and an administrative agency of the bankers).

The original Trading with the Enemy Act excluded citizens of the United States from being treated as the enemy when involved in transactions wholly within the United States. The Amendatory Act of March 9, 1933, however, expressly included the people of the United States as the enemy by insertion of the following text: "...by any person within the United States or any place subject to the jurisdiction thereof..." Chapter 1, Title 1, Section 1(b).
By operation of law the American people became the "enemy" of the private Federal Reserve/IMF Creditors in bankruptcy, who have thereafter been administering their prize/conquest through their alter ego and front, the "U.S. Government." To regulate and control their slaves/chattel property, they rendered (under color of law and government) all intercourse illegal amongst the American people without obtaining permission through licensing. To travel, a driver's license is required; to open a business requires a business license (not to mention additional and on-going mountains of "red tape"); to work for another one must obtain licensing through a Social Security card.

To be "within the United States" one must merely be a "person" or "resident," i.e., a 14th Amendment "citizen of the United States." Although one can never know who actually knows what, the chances are overwhelmingly large that the vast majority of doctors and hospital personnel are as ignorant of how badly they’ve been had as the rest of their fellow countrymen. Part of the cleverness of the sting is that it has been structured so that the people end up policing and being policed by each other without ever knowing whose agenda they are actually fulfilling. It is possible that Henry Ford was correct in his celebrated statement: "It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning."

[4] The three means of ratifying an implied contract, i.e., a unilateral offer from the system to you, are: 1) Do nothing; 2) Accept benefits from the system; 3) Fail to know, declare, and properly notice the appropriate parties in the system of your applicable law.

[5] A given name sounds the same when spoken, regardless of whether the spelling on paper consists of all-capital letters (the strawman) or upper- and lower-case letters (symbolically representing the real being).

[6] The nature of the existing scenario is not, for instance, on the curriculum of any institution of public education, nor is it discussed in the media, news, law schools, etc."

Make of it what you will. I view the above as a reflection of the greed of the man/women as a whole and may just be what was needed to control those who have forgotten who they really are. Once we find LOVE in our hearts this system will crumble for it will no longer be needed.

Peace!

I thought this was common knowledge tbh

[BarneyBent]

Got half way through before I got over it. It's the same paranoid bullshit. Rather US-centric as well, since most of the supposed mechanism for this system are seen in other countries which don't apparently have this system.

Seriously, there is nothing, NOTHING to suggest that this is more likely than the reality. Yes, the government won't always be totally transparent. Yes, politics is a numbers game. Yes, the banks wield a lot of power. But anybody with half a brain knows that.

Needs some serious invoking of Occam's Razor.

Not a lightweight topic, no hocus pocus or interpretation.

I am going to past a long explanation as to why most have no clue why and how this world operates. Why most do not know who they really are and what your relationship with government really is. In a nutshell it is all an illusion. Read though it and for those who wonder where justice lies and what justice is....you may find it below. This was posted in a forum i frequent and I could not explain it any better than the author. I hope it resonates with you all. This could be the piece of the puzzle you are missing.

----

"I. Background and framework.
The government founded by the original Constitution, 1787, is no longer operational. Instead, what is called the “Government of the United States” is a bankrupt, private corporation, owned, underwritten, and functioning in commerce as a front for the international bankers and the Powers-That-Be with which said bankers are allied. The entire institution, i.e., “US Inc.,” is private (not free) enterprise administering the ongoing business and political ends of the actual owners. In this current scenario, every action of US Inc. is a commercial transaction by and between fictitious entities all transpiring for the purpose of furthering the economic and political objectives of the alleged creditors.

This situation arose from the borrowing by USA from European central banks and owing the unpaid indebtedness to the Crown from the original joint-venture agreement between the Colonies (which are corporations of the Crown) and the Crown per se. It appears as though USA has been bankrupt from inception, i.e., from 1788, and the Constitution was drafted to “re-constitute” the unpaid debt and structure an organization for functioning in bankruptcy.

The Civil War was staged and financed by the bankers and the Crown to conquer the nation by engaging in the timeless strategy of “divide and conquer.” Pitting North against South resulted in the dissolution of the de jure Federal government of the organic Constitution. The States were drawn into the Central Government, as were—progressively—the people directly, with the whole conglomerate operating through the new Federal Government in the Emergency War Powers of 12 Stat. 319, 1861, under the “law of necessity.”

Thus, the “Government” functions under mere “color (appearance only) of government” with the President as acting dictator on behalf of the bankers under the President’s capacity as Commander in Chief of the Military. I.e., when the seven (7) Southern States walked out of Congress on March 27, 1861, Congress—and, indeed, the entire de jure Government of USA under the original Constitution—dissolved based on absence of a Congressional quorum to adjourn and re-convene. The result is that the actual winner of the Civil War was neither the North nor the South, but the bankers who owned the new Federal Government that defeated both North and South and absorbed and subserved the States into itself.

In accordance, inter alia, with the Limited Liability Act of 1851, the Emergency War Powers, 12 Stat. 319, the Civil Rights Act of 1866, and the constitutional provision allowing Congress authority to pass any law Congress wishes within the ten-mile square territory of Washington, DC, Article I, Section 8, Clause 17, the 14th Amendment was proclaimed ratified in 1868. Within that framework, on February 21st, 1871, Congress passed the District of Columbia Organic Act, Forty-first Congress, Session III, Chapter 62, page 419, 16 Stat. 419, “An Act to provide a Government for the District of Columbia,” which act was revised in 1874 and reorganized June 8, 1878, 20 Stat. 102, Chap 180, 45th Congress, 2nd Session, “An Act providing a permanent form of government for the District of Columbia.” This “government” is a private corporation now known and copyrighted by such names as “The United States Government,” “United States,” “U.S.,” “U.S.A.,” etc., all referenced herein as “US Inc.”

It is important to understand that US Inc. is not a country, but a corporation—and indeed a bankrupt corporation operating under color of government as the front and device for administering the conquest in law and commerce of the United States of America. The 14th Amendment and US Inc. are all private international law in the admiralty-maritime/Law Merchant of Roman Civil Law.

The 14th Amendment states: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.” This amendment allows US Inc. to have complete jurisdiction over “citizens,” i.e., corporate subsets of US Inc., which the de jure federal government did not and could not possess. The 14th Amendment also states (section 4): “The validity of the public debt of the United States authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion [per 12 Stat. 319], shall not be questioned.”

The 14th Amendment established the framework for complete conquest and absorption of the country, rendering the people permanent debtors, indentured servants in involuntary servitude, peonage, and also enemies of the government as a result, in accordance with 12 State 319, any aspect of US Inc. may summarily confiscate property in rem without necessity for judicial process whenever any citizen asserts a challenge to the laws of the United States, i.e., US Inc.

Remnants of the de jure Government remained after the 14th Amendment, however, based on such things as the continuing circulation of gold and silver coin (the money of sovereigns) and the fact that Senators were still elected to the Senate by Electors of the States rather than by direct, popular vote. Senators became elected by direct vote of the people with the passage of the 17th Amendment. The Civil War had forced each sovereign State to pledge its assets as collateral and become surety and a cosigner for the defaulted Federal Government’s debt to the bankers. This procedure was repeated in the 1933 bankruptcy, at which time gold and silver coin (substance) were outlawed as money for citizens of the United States (fictions). Inability to use gold and silver as money solidified the bankruptcy of US Inc. and foreclosed every such citizen from accessing real money for use in payment of debts, thereby denying access to sovereignty. US Inc. is completely devoid of rights, substance, standing in law, and sovereign character, as is every citizen of the United States.

II. The creation and nature of the strawman.
Because additional pledging of assets was required to enable the now-bankrupt corporation to continue to operate when civilly dead, the governors of all the States met to discuss the “emergency” declared by Franklin D. Roosevelt, i.e., the bankruptcy, and how to reorganize US Inc. to continue functioning when bankrupt by means of insurance underwriting by the creditors.

The governors of the States made a “pledge” to US Inc. to underwrite the bankruptcy through a grand scheme of limited-liability insurance. The people, through their “Certificates of Live Birth,” a/k/a “newborn identification,” were registered in the office of the county recorder by “registered agents” of the government such as the “registered doctor” and “registered nurse,” and were thereby established as property of the State. Remember “register” derives from “regis,” meaning “king,” whereby everything “registered” is there to record and keep track of the king’s property.

The newborn identification is identified with, and attaches to, the flesh-and-blood being by taking a drop of blood and the print (usually footprint) of the baby and applying them to the newborn identification. Once that certificate is registered, it is recorded as a “certificate of title,” as it were, to the real being. Since the point is to be able to enslave the child and render him a surety for the debt of the bankrupt US Inc., it makes no difference who or what the baby is. Everyone becomes classified as “fungible[1] goods,” like interchangeable bales of cotton.

The parents did not understand what was happening, so the process was thereby fraud based on deceit and non-disclosure. Obviously, with full disclosure of the terms and conditions involved in the alleged contract, no one would agree to go along with it. The agents of the government perpetrate a fraudulent transfer by registering the name, blood, and footprint of beings that is birthed by the living woman and not the corporate state (which can generate only more legal fictions, not real beings). This process amounts to theft of the real being by filing a piece of paper. The State did not create the name from which the all-caps strawman was derived, only colored the name into a form they could use. The name in upper- and lower-case letters pertains to the real being, while the all-caps strawman is a legal fiction used as credit against which to borrow at the expense of the life-force of the living being to which the name and registered newborn identification allegedly relates.

When the Governors of the States, at the Conference of Governors of March 6, 1933, pledged as State-registered assets the newborn identifications of those born in the State to the federal bankruptcy, the people’s energy was established as the collateral for backing the whole operation—the entire national debt. Since the States, being fictitious, commercial entities with no capacity to recognize real beings, could not pledge private, living people or their property, a “bridge” was needed between the living people and the bankruptcy of the federal US Inc. To accomplish this result the strawman was created by the Department of Commerce in Washington, DC, to function as a shill to operate out front publicly in place of the people. The scheme had to be so clever that the people would agree to operate as surety for the debts, charges, and obligations of the strawman without knowing what was happening to them, who did it, what they were agreeing to, or how the whole process worked.

The birth certificate with the all-caps name created by the U.S. Department of Commerce is a certificate of equity interest, akin to a “pink slip”[2] pertaining to a vehicle, and possibly a bill of lading, a document of bailment, which ships the cargo (new and original birth certificate) into the special maritime jurisdiction of the creditors to operate as collateral to back the bankruptcy reorganization of US Inc. via the Governor’s pledge. The all-caps strawman is thereby “birthed”—like a vessel—into the private, international-law special maritime jurisdiction of the bankers, et al, as a “citizen of the United States born [birthed] or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.”

By this scheme the living people assumed the roll of guarantor, accommodation party, and surety for the legal fiction that functions for the benefit and enrichment of the creditors. In this scenario it is the strawman, not the living being, that operates throughout the entirety of today’s law and commerce. One need only look at the Social Security Card, School Records, Passports, Driver’s Licenses, credit cards, utility bills, etc., all of which are always in all-capital letters—just as are gravestones of dead people all over the world and the parties to a dispute on the caption of a court brief—to see the ubiquitous use of the strawman in today’s commercial and legal world.

A “surety” is defined as “the one who is responsible to pay.” The real man is the surety and liable by contract to pay for the debts and obligations of the strawman, even though the real man is not, nor does he own, nor does he receive title to, anything purchased or accomplished by use of the strawman. The strawman is owned by US Inc. and the banks that purchased bonds issued by the Treasury against the strawman (as credit).

As stated, US Inc. is bankrupt, and has been since 1933. US Inc. has no gold or silver to pay any debts and is civilly dead. Having neither possession, nor right of possession, nor legal capacity to use gold and silver, i.e., “lawful money,” the only asset left to finance the continued operation of the bankrupt US Inc., i.e., the “government,” was the people, who were hypothecated as the credit/collateral to finance the bankruptcy US Inc. uses the substance and labor of the people to finance its entire operation. reorganization and insurance underwriting.

The scenario is extremely sophisticated, resulting in the operation of a vast and pervasive administration of legalized peonage, slavery, permanent indentured servitude, and collectivism (communism) wherein the people have forfeited all standing in law and are “dead to rights.” The Powers-That-Be borrow against your life, rights, and labor to finance their administration of the system they use to exploit, plunder, and dominate you, all under the pretext/presumption that they are acting as your agents to fulfill your own requests. In this scheme one is punished when one fails to pay or obey.

The sequence of steps involved in creating the existing system, in accordance with the best research to date (resulting from the efforts of many devoted people), is as follows in the United States:

1. A living, flesh-and-blood baby is born from its mother’s womb.

2. The legal/commercial system, existing and functioning entirely in the abstract realm of words, contracts, legal persons, corporate entities, laws, symbols, ideas, commerce, private international law, etc., (which constitutes the “matrix”) cannot see, recognize, or deal directly with the real world, including real people. The system itself is imaginary, while the real world is genuine and substantive. Consequently, the system deals only with documents and matters in the abstract realm that form, by presumption, ratified implied contract attached to the real world by “operation of law” and the tacit consent of the people.

3. Just after birth, the involved doctors and hospitals have the mother sign a “birth certificate,” i.e., a “certificate of live birth,” without telling the mother (and undoubtedly without themselves knowing the truth) that by so doing she and the doctor are criminally informing on her newborn baby as an enemy of the state in accordance with the War Powers and turning the baby over to the bankers as chattel property and slave, pledging the baby’s life-energy and labor in perpetuity as the collateral for borrowing into existence all “currency” (debt-paper) that passes as “money” today.[3]

4. The original birth certificate, a “Certificate of Live Birth,” constitutes, as it were, a “certificate of title” to the real being, and is in essence the equivalent of a “manufacturer’s statement (or certificate) of origin,” i.e., “MSO” or “MCO,” which is created upon manufacturing an automobile and constitutes title to the vehicle.

5. Just as in the case of a car, anything being “registered” in the legal system is established on the record as property of the king. The key here is "registered," a word deriving from “regis,” meaning “king,” whereby everything “registered” is recorded as the king’s property.

6. The sequence of steps concerning the birth certificate appears to be as follows:
a. After registration of the Certificate of Live Birth in the office of the county recorder, the county recorder makes a certified, true copy or microfilm, retains it, and sends the original to the Department of Commerce in the State.
b. As in the case of the county recorder, the State Department of Commerce makes a certified, true copy or microfilm, retains it, and sends the original to the Department of Commerce of the Federal Government in Washington, DC.
c. The Department of Commerce in Washington then makes a certified, true copy and, in addition, creates a new document, constituting a “certificate of equity interest,” which is labeled “Birth Certificate.” This birth certificate, however, has the child’s name in all-capital letters, unlike the original birth certificate filed in the county recorder on which the name was in upper- and lower-case letters.
d. The Department of Commerce in Washington, DC then forwards the originals of both documents to the record repository in such locations as The Hague, for holding on behalf of the international banks, e.g., the “World Bank,” the “Bank of International Settlement,” IMF, et al. There the documents remain on deposit as the collateral/asset for hypothecating into existence the credit that finances the underwriting of the world’s bankrupt governments.

7. By this means, the people become the "utility" for the "transmission" of energy from reality into the fictitious, colorable realm of international commerce.


The private, international law that governs the legal/commercial system today is the Uniform Commercial Code, which is established as the law of the land in the United States in Public Laws 88-243 and 88-244. The UCC is private, not public, law, and is copyrighted by Unidroit, an Italian corporation out of the Vatican.
Now the people, via their all-caps names, are classified as “human resources,” and "goods" under the Uniform Commercial Code—see Section 2-105(1) and 9-105(1) in which animals, i.e. humans and their unborn offspring, become "goods" saleable in commerce.

The Department of Treasury issues bonds on the birth certificates, which are sold through securities exchanges and purchased—by extending credit on the bank’s books—by the Federal Reserve Bank, which uses the bonds as “reserves” for creating credit in the fractional reserve system. The people’s labor becomes the collateral for issuing Federal Reserve Notes or some other form of "debt obligation" (see 18 USC §411). The bonds are held in trust for the purchaser, now the “secured party” and holder in due course, at the Resolution Trust Company at 55 Water Street, in New York City, about two blocks down the street from the Federal Reserve. It is a high-rise office building with a sign that reads, "The Tower of Power."

After the New Deal the all-caps name, hereinafter “strawman,” is what the system deals with, since it cannot interface directly with real beings. The real being, however, is presumed to have ratified the deal, agreed to the pledge, by the three (3) means for signifying ratification of implied contracts[4].

Thereafter, the system functions on the basis of possessing complete authority to do anything it wishes with the strawman, which is the system’s own creation and property and does not belong to the living being to whom the strawman purportedly pertains.

This scheme of legal/commercial peonage and slavery is outside the Constitution, which does not apply in any matters concerning the resulting process. The system functions in the realm of private contract, private international law, in international commerce, i.e., the private international law of the private, colorable Law Merchant, not within the direct purview of the Constitution, which merely sanctifies the operational right to contract.

Thereafter, every time the real being signs his name on any legal/commercial document, he is creating more debt-currency into existence, signing as the “surety,” or “accommodation party” per the Uniform commercial Code §3-415. He is also placing title to whatever property is involved in the hands of the bond-holder.
In this scenario, the "name," i.e., strawman, is credit and is a constructive trust (trust created by operation of law, i.e., fiat) holding all the real assets, i.e., “sweat-equity,” created by the labor of the real being. The right to the use has been separated from the title. The "strawman" holds the title and belongs to the bond-holder, not the real being. The flesh-and-blood man or women has only naked possession with a limited "right" to use the thing, such as one’s body, possessions, or land. Such illusion of ownership and right is essential to maintain the sting on an ongoing basis, keep the people from completely rebelling if their status as slaves was self-evident, and fostering more enthusiasm to work and produce by thinking that they are doing so for their own benefit rather than for the enrichment and power of their owners/masters/rulers.

When the strawman violates some rule or statute, such as is presumed whenever the strawman receives a traffic ticket, the flesh-and-blood being must appear at an arraignment and admit that he is the surety and accommodation party for the strawman, and thereby agree to provide the "energy" necessary for providing whatever fine or penalty is deemed due and payable. The real being has re-confirmed the contract of implied unification of the real being with the strawman by saying “here” when the strawman’s name is called in the idem sonans, i.e., “same-sound,” tribunal.[5] This is why it essential for the operation of the system that people "voluntarily give" their names to the court. The “Defendant” in the action is the strawman, not the real being. The real being confirms that he is, or may legally be treated the same as, the Defendant. Through this process one has entered through a door over which is inscribed: “Abandon hope all ye who enter here.”
It is now clear that the strawman is:

1. A “nom de guerre,” meaning “a name of war,” whereby the strawman is regarded as being in a state of “insurrection or rebellion” per Section 4 of the 14th Amendment, 12 Stat. 319, and the Trading With The Enemy Act;
2. A “stramineus homo,” or “strawman,” the legal and commercial consequences/aspects of which are that it is a permanent debtor in legal incapacity, a dead estate;
3. An artificial entity owned by the secured party who bought into the bond placed on the market by the U.S. Treasury.

It is important to remember that the strawman is not the property of the real being. The living man or woman is merely the surety (sucker) providing the labor, life-energy, and sweat-equity for the fiction owned by US Inc. and the bond-holder. The strawman is the front that enables the secured party to act in legal/commercial dealings without revealing his identity, and to deceive the real being, who signs in all matters as a surety and accommodation party, into thinking that the real being is doing something for himself rather than his owners/masters. Everything the real being signs on behalf of the strawman places title to whatever property is involved into the hands of the United States and the bond owner, i.e., the secured party over the strawman.
Do we have a claim on our all-caps strawman? The short answer is, “yes,” but only after we assert that claim properly. Otherwise, the presumption remains that US Inc. and the owners of the bondholders own the strawman.

The foundation of our claim is that they did not originate the strawman, but merely altered the original name by changing the upper- and lower-case name into a “same sounding” name spelled in all capital letters without full disclosure. That all-caps name is used to finance the system of power and self-enrichment of US Inc. and its owners at the expense of the enslavement of the people. They do not possess any authority to use the name based on the unlawful object of intent to perpetrate the scheme to reduce the people to slavery and peonage by engaging in fraudulent concealment and a mountain of other crimes. In addition, it is the living being to whom the name refers that provides the labor, substance, and life-force that gives value to the strawman, and thereby authorizes the real being to claim superior title to it. Those who expropriate the output of others for their own unjust enrichment, subjugate the populace, and bring about the ruin of those from whom they steal the rights, life force, labor, and wealth, have no legitimate grounds to assert a claim of superior title, either in law, equity, or commerce.

There is a sequence of steps that must be done to become free of the bondage-system that now enslaves mankind and regain lost freedom and independence. The system has not, to say the least, been forthcoming in educating the people concerning the true legal and commercial situation to which virtually everyone in the world is now subject.[6] A mother having given birth to her baby is not informed that by allowing her child’s birth certificate to be registered she is, for instance:

1. Informing on the baby criminally and declaring her newborn infant to be an enemy of the state with no rights;

2. Consigning the child to permanent slavery, peonage, and indentured servitude;

3. Declaring her baby to be fungible goods and the chattel property of the bankers and world powers.

If full disclosure, good faith, and genuine meeting of the minds prevailed, as is required for any purported contract to be an actual, bona fide contract enforceable at law, and the people knew the truth, the banks and governments of the world would be out of business. It has been a long, dangerous, often ruinous road—involving the blood, sweat, tears, property, and even the lives of many people—to uncover the nature of the clever scheme. Such people, most of whom not only love freedom and truth but principle for its own sake, have not been willing to remain in ignorance and bondage, and have diverted their lives to the task of understanding the nature of the system and discerning ways to become free of it.
Once you have control of the name you can use it for your benefit instead of the system using the name to use you for its benefit without your knowing what is happening.

[Ed. Note- A better conclusion may be: Once you change your relationship re the use of the name -- i.e. for the "owners" benefit -- then the fruits of any credit we create should be free to use without your needing to know what is happening.

[1] Black’s Law Dictionary, 6th Edition, defines “fungibles” as: “Goods which are identical with others of the same nature, such as grain and oil.” See also UCC 1-201(17).

[2] A “pink slip” pertaining to a motor vehicle is not title, but merely evidence of title. It indicates that title exists somewhere. Actual title to the vehicle consists of the original Manufacturer’s Statement (or Certificate) of Origin, the “MSO,” which, upon purchase of a new car, is sent to the State Department of Motor Vehicles. Whoever owns the MSO owns the vehicle, whereby one who buys a new car without taking possession of the MSO gifts his new purchase to the State, which may thereafter require that anyone using its property comply with all of the requirements of use, such as possessing a valid driver license, carrying insurance, complying with all the provisions of the Motor Vehicle Code, etc. Upon receipt of the MSO, however, the Department of Motor Vehicles micro-films, files, and then destroys the MSO. Inasmuch as only the original of a document counts in commerce, once the original MSO is destroyed, no proof of actual ownership exists. The microfilm is hearsay. This provides a forum for executing a new MSO and establishing ownership of the car in another jurisdiction where one’s ownership of the substance, i.e., the actual car, is acknowledged.

[3] On its face, this is a most startling statement, which requires clarification. The original Emergency War Powers of 1861, 12 Stat. 319, not only has never been repealed, but is the foundation for subsequent acts, such as the Trading With the Enemy Act of October 6, 1917, and the Amendatory Act thereto, i.e., the “Banking Relief Act,” of March 9, 1933, just after Roosevelt's Inauguration. The Amendatory Act (48 Stat. 1) amended the Trading With the Enemy Act, and was passed by Congress at a time when the United States was not in a shooting war with any foreign foe. The American people were (unknowingly) at war with their conquerors, the Banksters, who had defeated the country by the treachery of their something-for-nothing paper-money banking swindle and other deceits, rather than force of arms. The pen can indeed be mightier (and more suicidal for those who mindlessly use it) than the sword. This amended version of the Trading With the Enemy Act provided "legal" justification for dramatic increases in the power, scope, and authority of the U.S. Government (now owned by and an administrative agency of the bankers).

The original Trading with the Enemy Act excluded citizens of the United States from being treated as the enemy when involved in transactions wholly within the United States. The Amendatory Act of March 9, 1933, however, expressly included the people of the United States as the enemy by insertion of the following text: "...by any person within the United States or any place subject to the jurisdiction thereof..." Chapter 1, Title 1, Section 1(b).
By operation of law the American people became the "enemy" of the private Federal Reserve/IMF Creditors in bankruptcy, who have thereafter been administering their prize/conquest through their alter ego and front, the "U.S. Government." To regulate and control their slaves/chattel property, they rendered (under color of law and government) all intercourse illegal amongst the American people without obtaining permission through licensing. To travel, a driver's license is required; to open a business requires a business license (not to mention additional and on-going mountains of "red tape"); to work for another one must obtain licensing through a Social Security card.

To be "within the United States" one must merely be a "person" or "resident," i.e., a 14th Amendment "citizen of the United States." Although one can never know who actually knows what, the chances are overwhelmingly large that the vast majority of doctors and hospital personnel are as ignorant of how badly they’ve been had as the rest of their fellow countrymen. Part of the cleverness of the sting is that it has been structured so that the people end up policing and being policed by each other without ever knowing whose agenda they are actually fulfilling. It is possible that Henry Ford was correct in his celebrated statement: "It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning."

[4] The three means of ratifying an implied contract, i.e., a unilateral offer from the system to you, are: 1) Do nothing; 2) Accept benefits from the system; 3) Fail to know, declare, and properly notice the appropriate parties in the system of your applicable law.

[5] A given name sounds the same when spoken, regardless of whether the spelling on paper consists of all-capital letters (the strawman) or upper- and lower-case letters (symbolically representing the real being).

[6] The nature of the existing scenario is not, for instance, on the curriculum of any institution of public education, nor is it discussed in the media, news, law schools, etc."

----

Make of it what you will. I view the above as a reflection of the greed of the man/women as a whole and may just be what was needed to control those who have forgotten who they really are. Once we find LOVE in our hearts this system will crumble for it will no longer be needed.

“To be blunt, what if our entire financial system—as it exists today—is a scam, one that’s hardwired to funnel wealth from the masses to an elite few?”

All the world is a cage today, but how can we avoid it tomorrow?
OPINION ARTICLE

David Tal, Staff Writer

(First published in the Arbitrage Magazine Issue 4)

“I’m careful,” most think. “I know enough not to get mixed up in these things.”

These are the lullabies people say to comfort themselves. However, as you’ll see, it’s no defence.

Take the case of Bernard “Bernie” L. Madoff. He got caught inside a whirlpool last March, 2009, when he pled guilty to running an elaborate Ponzi scheme that fooled a highlight reel of celebrities, charitable organizations and what many considered to be ‘informed/professional’ investors. The fallout was many tens of billions worth of investments written off into the red—this included the life-savings of many who will now never know a comfortable retirement.

When such high profile scams make headlines, both the victims and the public are left to ask how so many high-powered, intelligent people could be duped so easily. In retrospect, it seems obvious that an eye of caution be directed upon people or corporations who offer inexplicably high or consistent returns on monies invested.

Haven’t these people ever heard the adage that if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is? Such questions generally conclude with people mumbling another adage—buyer beware—and then believing that the same thing could never happen to them.

But what if it can?

What if you, dear reader, are already in the clutches of a similar scam to the one suffered by Madoff’s investors? And what if everyone is in on it, both as victims and perpetrators of the largest financial scam known to human history?

To be more blunt, what if our entire financial system—as it exists today—is a scam, one that’s hardwired to funnel wealth from the masses to an elite few?

Don’t want to believe it?

Well, before you stop reading, how about we play around with this theory?

To start, if we are going to put our financial system on trial, we’ve got to understand how it really works.



SET UP
For one, how should we define our present financial system?

Well, we can start by focusing on the financial system that the modern world’s majority uses: Monetarism. This is a theory whereby, according to the American Heritage Dictionary, “economic variations within a given system, such as changing rates of inflation, are most often caused by increases or decreases in the money supply—usually enacted by controlled government policy.” (For those new to economics, don’t worry. This will be explained more simply soon enough.)

No matter the country, nor the dominant ideology we ascribe to—be it communist, socialist or capitalist—they all use a monetary system; only the degree of government intervention in the system varies.

Next, what kind of scam are we charging our financial system of resembling? For the purposes of this article, we will use a pyramid scheme as a model (albeit the most sophisticated pyramid scheme ever devised).

One should also consider that it often isn’t a shifty looking man in a trench coat trying to recruit you into these get-rich-quick-schemes, but normal, honest-looking people.

Briefly, a pyramid scheme is a scam where one ringleader (sometimes a team) convinces a number of individuals to invest money into a ‘new money making system,’ which requires these new investors to work—usually on a kind of commission—to recruit others to then invest money back into the said ‘system.’ Those new recruits are then encouraged to lure even more individuals into this system and so on.

This scheme is called a pyramid scheme because of its shape: if one person recruits ten people and those ten each recruit ten others and so on, the pyramid could potentially involve everyone on earth within ten rounds of recruiting—with most or all the money being funnelled to the top.

That said, such schemes never make it to this level, as once it reaches a certain size, there will always be a few who begin to smell a fish.

So with these parameters set, let’s turn our attention to some of the biggest reasons why people get caught up in financial schemes. According to Skepdic.com, greed is probably the underlying factor. The desire for wealth and power are easy levers the crafty can use against most anybody.

This greed, or even just a basic desperation for money, can lead to varying states of wishful thinking, where even the smartest of those involved throw away logic and reason for the hope that this ‘money-making system’ is actually legitimate. As a result, asking those worthwhile questions that can save one’s wallet all of a sudden begins to feel uncomfortable or impolite.

Even those few who catch on to what they’ve gotten themselves into continue playing along, thinking, “Hey, I’m not at the bottom of the pyramid; I’m near the top. I can still get out of this making a profit!” Housing Meltdown, anyone?

Finally, one should also consider that it often isn’t a shifty looking man in a trench coat trying to recruit you into these get-rich-quick-schemes, but normal, honest-looking people. These people are quite often educated and/or well-respected, like teachers, investors (ala Bernie) and even police officers. Anyone is susceptible, and the more the initial ringmaster can attract respected participates into this system, the more it wraps around itself an air of legitimacy borrowed from such individuals. This makes the system that much more attractive to future recruits.





FOUNDATION
Now that we’ve explored how average financial schemes scam people, it’s about time we investigate our present financial system to see how it scams people in a positively above-average way. To do this, we first need to explore the system’s innards, i.e. shed light on how money is created, how it’s manipulated, and how you and I and all of society are bound inside its cage.

To begin, let’s show how money is created.



*The new money created is created out of debt, i.e. the Central Bank created the 10 billion with the expectation that it will all be paid back. So essentially, MONEY = DEBT. [In fact, under our current system, one cannot exist without the other. If everyone paid off all their debt, there would be no money for the economy to function. The crazy thing is, the world doesn’t even have enough money to pay off all the debt that exists (sidebar B will answer why this is so).]

*Once the 10 billion is deposited into a bank, that bank can then lend out that money. The only limit being said bank needs to keep a percentage of the original deposit on hold as a “reserve” (usually around 10%); e.g. out of the 10 billion deposited, the bank can now lend out 9 billion. [This process is referred to as “Fractional Reserve Banking.”]

*However, while logic would have you think that banks lend out that 9 billion from the original 10 billion, the truth is that 9 billion is lent ON TOP of that original 10 billion. That’s right, 9 billion in brand new money is created into the economy simply because there is a demand for this loan and there is enough money in the bank to fulfil the reserve requirements. So basically, after the bank asks you for assets (e.g. your car) to back up your mortgage, the bank in turn creates and lends you money from nothing, money that’s backed up by nothing except a hypothetical liability: money that you’re expected to pay back and then some.

*The implications of this are huge, as this process will happen all over again in the bank where that 9 billion is next deposited (minus the 10% reserve) and again in the next bank and the next, etc.

*If this process runs its course, that initial 10 billion the Federal government called into existence has the potential to add another 90 billion into the economic system. All of this is money created out of nothing.

*But if the money came from nothing, where does it get its value? The only place it can: from the existing money supply. The new money steals value from the existing money supply, expanding the money supply irrespective of the demand, thus reducing its worth and creating inflation. This means that our Fractional Reserve System is inherently inflationary, thus reducing the buying power of our money (see chart below).



*This inflation acts as a built in tax upon society and is a built in trait of our financial system.

Now that we know how money is created, let’s take it one step further. Aside from the inflation that’s structurally built into our financial system (thanks to the Fractional Reserve System), there is another factor, one that makes this system thoroughly unstable and perpetually in need of government intervention—like a crack fiend’s constant search for another fix.

Interest.

Sometimes called usury, interest (the charging of a fee for the use of money) was once banned in the ancient world. All Abrahamic belief systems (i.e. Judaism, Christianity & Islam) likened it to a sin and even philosophical titans like Aristotle deemed it unnatural. It was only until late into the 16th century that interest slowly began to gain acceptance (primarily due to a push from the business classes), until charging interest became normalized in the 17th century.

Now while the concerns about interest being sinful may be a tad antiquated, the way it affects and distorts our financial system, our personal lives and our freedoms are very real.

To explain, think back to the previous sidebar that explained how money is created and now add on top of it the next sidebar that explains the effect of interest.



From what The Effect of Interest infographic* shows us, interest has no place in a perfectly stable and sustainable monetary system, as its presence is an inherently destabilizing influence that works to undermine the viability of a stable economic system.

This is because not only is new money generated out of nothing (ala sidebar A), but the money needed to pay back the interest applied to this new money doesn’t even exist!

So where does society find all this non-existent money to pay down the interest on the money that was created out of nothing?

It can’t.

The system in place now has a built-in perpetual deficit, one that is destined to collapse the entire system unless measures are taken to avoid it.

As luck would have it though, there are two options to deal with this flaw. Individually, those who don’t have the power to print more money and can’t pay their debts or interest can simply go bankrupt and have their assets liquidated. Meanwhile, governments, which can print more money, do so, and do so excessively (as we saw governments do following the late 2008 Housing Meltdown).

Thus, on a micro level, the ill effect of both fractional-reserve banking and interest is that a percentage of the population is destined for financial disaster. Meanwhile, on a macro level, the expansion of the money supply, leads to a reduction in buying power (i.e. structurally built-in inflation) and as already mentioned, a hidden and ever-growing tax upon all society in the form of inflation.



A CAGE UNMASKED
On one hand we have a structurally flawed financial system and on the other, we have a pyramid scheme. How do the two relate?

To start, we must ask, “Who’s at the top of this pyramid?”

The simple answer is: those who control the world’s banks (especially the privately owned central banks, like the US Fed) and thus have the power to print money. Now, before this writer enters the realm of conspiracy theory, let me add an extra dimension to this answer: that unlike your average pyramid scheme, there’s actually no one person or group at the top.

People come and go, just as fortunes come and go. Instead, what you’ll see at the pyramid’s precipice is a system, one that promotes profit maximization above all other values. This single-minded drive is what the majority of global society has bought into and what the majority refuses to give up.

Why?

Because we all want to be at the top of that pyramid.

That’s the genius of this system. There is no one individual to point our fingers at because, at the end of the day, we’d only be pointing fingers at ourselves.

Until we, as a collective society, choose not to live under a system where power through the accumulation of money is the core value—a system where greed and corruption aren’t built in—we will forever be beholden to a system where only a small minority at the top prosper and the mass at the bottom struggle or go without.

But some may counter, “Okay, there might be people who let themselves be leashed by greed, but what about the rest of us? How can one system, or pyramid scheme, actually control the majority of the planet’s population?

“One thing to realize about our fractional reserve banking system is that, like a child’s game of musical chairs, as long as the music is playing, there are no losers.”
Andrew Gause, Monetary Historian

The answer lies in how money is created and the existence of interest (both previously discussed). Essentially, this pyramid scheme creates money through banks that it gives out on mass, encouraging all individuals within the monetarist system to spend that money, thereby increasing their debt and forcing them to pay back said money, with interest or through various forms of bankruptcy.

For the minority of the world’s population who can pay these debts and remain debt free, this arrangement is of no consequence. But for the gross majority, those who can’t pay off 100% their debts by the month’s end or are living paycheque to paycheque, this system ensures a subtle form of veiled servitude—what some might call slavery.

If you don’t work, you won’t be able to pay your debts. If you can’t pay your debts, you won’t be able to keep your possessions and the standard of living to which you’ve grown accustomed. This fear of losing everything is what keeps the world in toe and what ensures the wealth of the bottom continues to flow upward to the banks and those who control them.

So let’s recap:



At this point, a final question begs answering: “If the financial system is just another fancy pyramid scheme, then why hasn’t it failed like all other pyramid schemes?”

The simple reason is that, for centuries, this scheme worked.

Yes, the system is far from balanced and the gap between rich and poor is large and growing everyday, but for all its flaws, the monetarist system of playing to people’s self-interest (greed and the pursuit of power) has resulted in a world far richer and better off today than in any time in human history.

THE RED PILL
But here’s the catch. While it’s true our monetarist system has provided humanity unprecedented wealth, it is also true that it was bankrolled almost entirely by our largest and oldest benefactor: the Earth.

To be clear, in order for the economy to continue growing, in order for it to avoid collapsing under the money supply’s constant expansion, more and more economic resources need to be mined from the earth, processed by man and commercialized by our markets.

Doing this produces enough new wealth fast enough to pay down all those new, interest-laden loans the banks are generally all too happy to give. It’s also what has allowed the human population to grow as much as it has, providing ever-growing numbers of new consumers for the system to exploit and grow.

In all, the flow of resources ensures the music continues to play.

So there you have it:

Debt + Interest + Inflation + ever increasing amounts of raw material and a growing population = the Superstructure of the Invisible Pyramid Scheme every member of society lives under.

When we learned the art of agriculture, it allowed us to produce an excess of food from the Earth’s soil and in turn, allowed us to shed off our nomadic lifestyle and commit to and develop communal living (i.e. families, villages, townships, cities, countries). Millennia later, humanity discovered how to harness energy from coal, leading to the first Industrial Revolution. A century later, humanity learned how to harness energy from oil and so the modern age began.

With each new discovery of how to use the Earth’s abundant resources, humanity fed, multiplied and prospered to new heights.

In fact, from the discovery of agriculture (approx. 8000 BC) to the Industrial Revolution (approx. 1800s), global human population gradually grew to around 800 million. Then within only 100 years after the Industrial Revolution, the population grew to one billion. Then after learning to truly harness oil, the most abundant and versatile energy source humanity ever discovered, global population exploded to roughly 6.3 billion and counting.

“Anyone who believes exponential growth can go on forever in a finite world is either a madman or an economist.”
Kenneth Boulding, Economist & founder of the Evolutionary Economics Movement

Sad thing is, when the caribou herd grows to a point where they exhaust their land’s richness, the prosperity ends. Swaths of caribou starve and the herd shrinks back down to a level the land (Earth) can support. The herd may try and search for a new, richer land, but in the end, the cycle always repeat itself.

And again, so too with humans.

Soon, a time will come when events transpire to alter the very nature of modern society and “the system” as we know it. For pyramid schemes only continue expanding so long as there are more recruits and more money (resources) to pull into its sphere of influence. In other words, such scams can only continue existing in a world of infinite growth.

Sadly, that’s not the world we live in.

While modern economics and society in general choose to assume otherwise, the reality is that we live inside a finite world, a world with limits, both on the number of human beings it can support and the amount of resources it has available for consumption.

Eventually, something’s gotta give. And that something’s going to give within our lifetimes.

“To be blunt, what if our entire financial system—as it exists today—is a scam, one that’s hardwired to funnel wealth from the masses to an elite few?”

All the world is a cage today, but how can we avoid it tomorrow?

(First published in the Arbitrage Magazine Issue 4)

“I’m careful,” most think. “I know enough not to get mixed up in these things.”

These are the lullabies people say to comfort themselves. However, as you’ll see, it’s no defence.

Take the case of Bernard “Bernie” L. Madoff. He got caught inside a whirlpool last March, 2009, when he pled guilty to running an elaborate Ponzi scheme that fooled a highlight reel of celebrities, charitable organizations and what many considered to be ‘informed/professional’ investors. The fallout was many tens of billions worth of investments written off into the red—this included the life-savings of many who will now never know a comfortable retirement.

When such high profile scams make headlines, both the victims and the public are left to ask how so many high-powered, intelligent people could be duped so easily. In retrospect, it seems obvious that an eye of caution be directed upon people or corporations who offer inexplicably high or consistent returns on monies invested.

Haven’t these people ever heard the adage that if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is? Such questions generally conclude with people mumbling another adage—buyer beware—and then believing that the same thing could never happen to them.

But what if it can?

What if you, dear reader, are already in the clutches of a similar scam to the one suffered by Madoff’s investors? And what if everyone is in on it, both as victims and perpetrators of the largest financial scam known to human history?

To be more blunt, what if our entire financial system—as it exists today—is a scam, one that’s hardwired to funnel wealth from the masses to an elite few?

Don’t want to believe it?

Well, before you stop reading, how about we play around with this theory?

To start, if we are going to put our financial system on trial, we’ve got to understand how it really works.



SET UP
For one, how should we define our present financial system?

Well, we can start by focusing on the financial system that the modern world’s majority uses: Monetarism. This is a theory whereby, according to the American Heritage Dictionary, “economic variations within a given system, such as changing rates of inflation, are most often caused by increases or decreases in the money supply—usually enacted by controlled government policy.” (For those new to economics, don’t worry. This will be explained more simply soon enough.)

No matter the country, nor the dominant ideology we ascribe to—be it communist, socialist or capitalist—they all use a monetary system; only the degree of government intervention in the system varies.

Next, what kind of scam are we charging our financial system of resembling? For the purposes of this article, we will use a pyramid scheme as a model (albeit the most sophisticated pyramid scheme ever devised).

One should also consider that it often isn’t a shifty looking man in a trench coat trying to recruit you into these get-rich-quick-schemes, but normal, honest-looking people.

Briefly, a pyramid scheme is a scam where one ringleader (sometimes a team) convinces a number of individuals to invest money into a ‘new money making system,’ which requires these new investors to work—usually on a kind of commission—to recruit others to then invest money back into the said ‘system.’ Those new recruits are then encouraged to lure even more individuals into this system and so on.

This scheme is called a pyramid scheme because of its shape: if one person recruits ten people and those ten each recruit ten others and so on, the pyramid could potentially involve everyone on earth within ten rounds of recruiting—with most or all the money being funnelled to the top.

That said, such schemes never make it to this level, as once it reaches a certain size, there will always be a few who begin to smell a fish.

So with these parameters set, let’s turn our attention to some of the biggest reasons why people get caught up in financial schemes. According to Skepdic.com, greed is probably the underlying factor. The desire for wealth and power are easy levers the crafty can use against most anybody.

This greed, or even just a basic desperation for money, can lead to varying states of wishful thinking, where even the smartest of those involved throw away logic and reason for the hope that this ‘money-making system’ is actually legitimate. As a result, asking those worthwhile questions that can save one’s wallet all of a sudden begins to feel uncomfortable or impolite.

Even those few who catch on to what they’ve gotten themselves into continue playing along, thinking, “Hey, I’m not at the bottom of the pyramid; I’m near the top. I can still get out of this making a profit!” Housing Meltdown, anyone?

Finally, one should also consider that it often isn’t a shifty looking man in a trench coat trying to recruit you into these get-rich-quick-schemes, but normal, honest-looking people. These people are quite often educated and/or well-respected, like teachers, investors (ala Bernie) and even police officers. Anyone is susceptible, and the more the initial ringmaster can attract respected participates into this system, the more it wraps around itself an air of legitimacy borrowed from such individuals. This makes the system that much more attractive to future recruits.





FOUNDATION
Now that we’ve explored how average financial schemes scam people, it’s about time we investigate our present financial system to see how it scams people in a positively above-average way. To do this, we first need to explore the system’s innards, i.e. shed light on how money is created, how it’s manipulated, and how you and I and all of society are bound inside its cage.

To begin, let’s show how money is created.



*The new money created is created out of debt, i.e. the Central Bank created the 10 billion with the expectation that it will all be paid back. So essentially, MONEY = DEBT. [In fact, under our current system, one cannot exist without the other. If everyone paid off all their debt, there would be no money for the economy to function. The crazy thing is, the world doesn’t even have enough money to pay off all the debt that exists (sidebar B will answer why this is so).]

*Once the 10 billion is deposited into a bank, that bank can then lend out that money. The only limit being said bank needs to keep a percentage of the original deposit on hold as a “reserve” (usually around 10%); e.g. out of the 10 billion deposited, the bank can now lend out 9 billion. [This process is referred to as “Fractional Reserve Banking.”]

*However, while logic would have you think that banks lend out that 9 billion from the original 10 billion, the truth is that 9 billion is lent ON TOP of that original 10 billion. That’s right, 9 billion in brand new money is created into the economy simply because there is a demand for this loan and there is enough money in the bank to fulfil the reserve requirements. So basically, after the bank asks you for assets (e.g. your car) to back up your mortgage, the bank in turn creates and lends you money from nothing, money that’s backed up by nothing except a hypothetical liability: money that you’re expected to pay back and then some.

*The implications of this are huge, as this process will happen all over again in the bank where that 9 billion is next deposited (minus the 10% reserve) and again in the next bank and the next, etc.

*If this process runs its course, that initial 10 billion the Federal government called into existence has the potential to add another 90 billion into the economic system. All of this is money created out of nothing.

*But if the money came from nothing, where does it get its value? The only place it can: from the existing money supply. The new money steals value from the existing money supply, expanding the money supply irrespective of the demand, thus reducing its worth and creating inflation. This means that our Fractional Reserve System is inherently inflationary, thus reducing the buying power of our money (see chart below).



*This inflation acts as a built in tax upon society and is a built in trait of our financial system.

Now that we know how money is created, let’s take it one step further. Aside from the inflation that’s structurally built into our financial system (thanks to the Fractional Reserve System), there is another factor, one that makes this system thoroughly unstable and perpetually in need of government intervention—like a crack fiend’s constant search for another fix.

Interest.

Sometimes called usury, interest (the charging of a fee for the use of money) was once banned in the ancient world. All Abrahamic belief systems (i.e. Judaism, Christianity & Islam) likened it to a sin and even philosophical titans like Aristotle deemed it unnatural. It was only until late into the 16th century that interest slowly began to gain acceptance (primarily due to a push from the business classes), until charging interest became normalized in the 17th century.

Now while the concerns about interest being sinful may be a tad antiquated, the way it affects and distorts our financial system, our personal lives and our freedoms are very real.

To explain, think back to the previous sidebar that explained how money is created and now add on top of it the next sidebar that explains the effect of interest.



From what The Effect of Interest infographic* shows us, interest has no place in a perfectly stable and sustainable monetary system, as its presence is an inherently destabilizing influence that works to undermine the viability of a stable economic system.

This is because not only is new money generated out of nothing (ala sidebar A), but the money needed to pay back the interest applied to this new money doesn’t even exist!

So where does society find all this non-existent money to pay down the interest on the money that was created out of nothing?

It can’t.

The system in place now has a built-in perpetual deficit, one that is destined to collapse the entire system unless measures are taken to avoid it.

As luck would have it though, there are two options to deal with this flaw. Individually, those who don’t have the power to print more money and can’t pay their debts or interest can simply go bankrupt and have their assets liquidated. Meanwhile, governments, which can print more money, do so, and do so excessively (as we saw governments do following the late 2008 Housing Meltdown).

Thus, on a micro level, the ill effect of both fractional-reserve banking and interest is that a percentage of the population is destined for financial disaster. Meanwhile, on a macro level, the expansion of the money supply, leads to a reduction in buying power (i.e. structurally built-in inflation) and as already mentioned, a hidden and ever-growing tax upon all society in the form of inflation.



A CAGE UNMASKED
On one hand we have a structurally flawed financial system and on the other, we have a pyramid scheme. How do the two relate?

To start, we must ask, “Who’s at the top of this pyramid?”

The simple answer is: those who control the world’s banks (especially the privately owned central banks, like the US Fed) and thus have the power to print money. Now, before this writer enters the realm of conspiracy theory, let me add an extra dimension to this answer: that unlike your average pyramid scheme, there’s actually no one person or group at the top.

People come and go, just as fortunes come and go. Instead, what you’ll see at the pyramid’s precipice is a system, one that promotes profit maximization above all other values. This single-minded drive is what the majority of global society has bought into and what the majority refuses to give up.

Why?

Because we all want to be at the top of that pyramid.

That’s the genius of this system. There is no one individual to point our fingers at because, at the end of the day, we’d only be pointing fingers at ourselves.

Until we, as a collective society, choose not to live under a system where power through the accumulation of money is the core value—a system where greed and corruption aren’t built in—we will forever be beholden to a system where only a small minority at the top prosper and the mass at the bottom struggle or go without.

But some may counter, “Okay, there might be people who let themselves be leashed by greed, but what about the rest of us? How can one system, or pyramid scheme, actually control the majority of the planet’s population?

“One thing to realize about our fractional reserve banking system is that, like a child’s game of musical chairs, as long as the music is playing, there are no losers.”
Andrew Gause, Monetary Historian

The answer lies in how money is created and the existence of interest (both previously discussed). Essentially, this pyramid scheme creates money through banks that it gives out on mass, encouraging all individuals within the monetarist system to spend that money, thereby increasing their debt and forcing them to pay back said money, with interest or through various forms of bankruptcy.

For the minority of the world’s population who can pay these debts and remain debt free, this arrangement is of no consequence. But for the gross majority, those who can’t pay off 100% their debts by the month’s end or are living paycheque to paycheque, this system ensures a subtle form of veiled servitude—what some might call slavery.

If you don’t work, you won’t be able to pay your debts. If you can’t pay your debts, you won’t be able to keep your possessions and the standard of living to which you’ve grown accustomed. This fear of losing everything is what keeps the world in toe and what ensures the wealth of the bottom continues to flow upward to the banks and those who control them.

So let’s recap:



At this point, a final question begs answering: “If the financial system is just another fancy pyramid scheme, then why hasn’t it failed like all other pyramid schemes?”

The simple reason is that, for centuries, this scheme worked.

Yes, the system is far from balanced and the gap between rich and poor is large and growing everyday, but for all its flaws, the monetarist system of playing to people’s self-interest (greed and the pursuit of power) has resulted in a world far richer and better off today than in any time in human history.

THE RED PILL
But here’s the catch. While it’s true our monetarist system has provided humanity unprecedented wealth, it is also true that it was bankrolled almost entirely by our largest and oldest benefactor: the Earth.

To be clear, in order for the economy to continue growing, in order for it to avoid collapsing under the money supply’s constant expansion, more and more economic resources need to be mined from the earth, processed by man and commercialized by our markets.

Doing this produces enough new wealth fast enough to pay down all those new, interest-laden loans the banks are generally all too happy to give. It’s also what has allowed the human population to grow as much as it has, providing ever-growing numbers of new consumers for the system to exploit and grow.

In all, the flow of resources ensures the music continues to play.

So there you have it:

Debt + Interest + Inflation + ever increasing amounts of raw material and a growing population = the Superstructure of the Invisible Pyramid Scheme every member of society lives under.
