These patriarch's of our country understood the dangers=20

banking and the men that controlled the banking=20

The enemy that defeated this country from =
the very=20
beginning was
the debt created by the use of paper money =
instead=20
of gold and
silver coin. The use of differing weights and =
measures caused
this country to fall prey to the =

What did Jefferson mean by the word mortmain? This is a=20
law
that was passed prior to the Magna Charta. The reason =
this=20
law
was created by the King of England was to protect his =
land.=20
When
the Church gained status in England, the people =
began to=20
will
their land to the Church in exchange for the promise =
that=20
the
Church would pray their souls out of hell. The public =
lands
began to disappear so the King enacted this law to =
protect=20
his
land. What the law in effect said was that no one =
could=20
deed
land to the Church without a license from the King.=20
This
definition was later extended to include =
corporations.=20
Jefferson
said that because we were the sovereigns, =
Congress was=20
subject to
us, they had no right to give a corporate =
charter to=20
the Bank of
the United States placing our land in dead =
hands=20
(unable to be
purchased again by the public), since =
Congress had=20
not been given
this power under the Constitution. Any =
powers not=20
given to
Congress by the Constitution were reserved by =
the=20
several States
and the American People. Jefferson knew =
that if=20
this charter was
given, the public lands would soon =
belong to the=20
Bankers. As
Thomas Jefferson said, this was a most =
ancient and=20
fundamental
law of the Thirteen States. Can our land be =
reclaimed=20
by the law
of mortmain? I don't know yet, but it bears =
looking=20
into. Only
sovereigns, that are Sui Juris, Freemen and=20
Freeholders of their
property, can bring such a suit. I =
know from=20

Blackstone's writings on mortmain that only a =

they can all be carried into execution without a bank. =

Biddle shut off the flow of money to the State banks =

order=20
to turn public against Jackson's polices against the =
Bank
of the=20

amounts of=20
paper money, which again triggered land speculation.
The =
State=20
bank loans increased from one hundred and thirty =
seven
million in=20

in =

land speculation was so bad that the government
sales of =
public=20
lands rose from four million acres in 1834 to
fifteen =
million in=20
1835, and to twenty million in 1836. Receipts
from public =

four million eight hundred thousand dollars.
These banks =
had=20
nothing better to do with the funds that poured

than to lend them out again, and in far too
many =
instances the=20
borrowers were mere speculators who bought

President Jackson decided the evil of this policy had to=20
be
stopped. In July 1836 it was declared in the "SPECIE=20

that paper money could no longer be used to buy =
public=20
lands, and
that specie (gold and silver) had to be used, =
this=20
ended for a

government. In

In 1837 the
United States was in the middle of a =
depression,=20
because the Bank

specie=20
money to loan.
1837 marked the end of the Bank of the United States, and =

thing=20

accomplished was to remove the middle man between =

August Belmont's (Schonberg) arrived in New York City =
in
1837,=20
with the influence and backing of the House of =
Rothschild
behind=20
him. He was a Jewish banker of German decent, he =
had
three sons=20
Perry, Oliver H.P., and August Jr.. August =
Schonberg
(Belmont)=20
went to Frankfurt at the age of thirteen to work as =
an
unpaid=20
apprentice for the Rothschilds, the leading Jewish =
banking
house=20
in Europe. It is said among the European Rothschilds =
that
Augest=20
Schonberg was the illegitimate son of Baron =
Von
Rothschild. The=20
reason I believe this to be true is because the
Jews are =
very=20
clannish, they would not put a non-family member in
such =
a=20
important position, nor would a non-family member =
have
direct=20
access to Baron Von Rothschild.
Belmont married into the Perry family for their=20
social
influence. The Perrys were not very rich, but they =
had all=20

social contacts that Belmont wanted and needed, more =

he
needed money. Caroline was the daughter of Commodore=20

The first thing New York society noticed about =
August
Belmont=20
was that he had lots of money. It was Rothschild =
money,
and he=20
used it extravagantly. As a financier with the funds =
of
the=20
world's largest private bank at his fingertips, he=20
was
immediately important not only to American companies =
but to=20
the
United States Government, which was always running =
out of=20
cash
and whose credit needed constant infusions from =
bankers.=20
There
was one area in which August Belmont excelled. Its =
name=20
was
Rothschild. Belmont was not known to be a=20
spectacular,
brilliant, or even "interesting" financier. =
But men=20
like J.P.
Morgan liked to work with the European =
Rothschilds, and=20
August
Belmont, as their agent, was always there, =
helpful,=20
collecting
his percentage on the money that passed back =
and=20
forth.
In the panic of 1837 Belmont was able to perform a=20
service
which he would repeat in subsequent panics, and =
which=20
helped make
him a friend to bankers and to the United =
States=20
Government. By
negotiating large loans from the =
Rothschilds, he=20
was able to
shore up United States debtor banks. In other =
words,=20
he was
able, thanks to the hugeness of the Rothschild =
reservoir=20
of
capital, to start out in America operating his own=20
Federal
Reserve System. Mayer Amschel Rothschild =
said:
"Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation and =
I
care not who makes its laws."21
In the years since his arrival Belmont had been =
so
successful=20
at channeling Rothschild funds into the United =

Treasury in=20

rewarded, in =
1844,=20
by being appointed United States Consul

move designed not only to provide Mr.

prestige but=20
also to place him close to the Vienna
House of Rothschild =
where=20
he could be of further usefulness.
Things, of course, did =
not=20
always go smoothly. When the State of

defaulted on=20
thirty five million worth of State
bonds held by British=20
investors, including the Rothschilds,
Belmont, in Paris =

Until the outbreak of the war, August Belmont had=20

lukewarm and hesitant support. Lincoln's=20

The recovery from the Panic of 1857 was as spectacular =

William Seligman liked to say that he had predicted =

At the outbreak of the war the United States Treasury was =

the
North. When Lincoln took office, he found his =
Treasury=20

empty. The Federal debt was increasing, and the =
American=20
credit
abroad was disappearing. Conservative businessmen =
wanted=20
no

Linton Wells, a former Seligman staff member, wrote=20
that:
"Joseph Seligman, during a visit with President=20

which Lincoln of course did. These constitute =

claims,

Wells
and W.E. Dodd (Dodd was Joseph's equal in selling =
bonds)=20
in
carrying on the legend that Joseph Seligman won the =
Civil War=20
by
paying for it. At one optimistic point, Joseph bought =
some=20
Union
bonds for his own portfolio, then quickly became=20
discouraged
about their prospects and wrote: "I am almost =
tempted=20
to resell
the U.S. Stock which I bought and keep my hands =
clear=20
of the
present degenerated American race."23 (Again this =
is what=20
these
Jewish bankers thought about non-Jewish Americans.) =
His=20
brother
James was more hopeful and wrote suggesting that =
the=20
brothers buy
one hundred thousand dollars worth of Union=20
securities for their
own accounts. Joseph turned him =
down, he=20
said:
"Do not be afraid," he answered, "that the Government=20

This was one of the reasons for the Thirteenth =

Morgan, Belmont, and the Rothschilds formed an axis=20

Joseph Seligman headed a group of German bankers in New =

who
wished to underwrite fifty million worth of these =
notes, but=20
the
Secretary would not accept the terms of the=20
syndicate.
Thereupon, the Seligman brothers took an =

in selling
these Federal securities themselves, and it is =
recorded that they
sold over sixty million worth. =
Remember these=20
bonds were just
like the government created the money out =

bankers knew that if they continued to =

Obviously, this was the moment for Joseph to put his=20

Joseph=20

Secretaries of the Treasury-Salmon Chase, =
William=20

Hugh McCulloch.
When their old friend =
from=20

Presidential =
office in=20

the
possibilities=20
certainly looked good. Grant appointed as his
Secretary =
of State=20
Elihu B. Washburne, who as a Congressman from
Illinois =
had been=20
one of the Seligmans' private clients. Joseph
had once =
purchased,=20
in Frankfurt, two hundred thousand dollars of
U.S. bonds =
for=20
Washburne, saying at the time, "There is no
necessity for =
you to=20
send any Bonds as margin, as we require none
from you, =
dear=20
Washburne." As soon as Washburne was appointed,
the =
Seligmans=20
wrote him, gently reminding him of their past good
deeds, =
and=20
offering their "full services" to the new
administration. =
But=20
Washburne's appointment, it turned out, was
only a =
courtesy one.=20
He held the post for only twelve days, and
was then made =
Minister=20
to France. Grant replaced him with
Hamilton Fish, who was =
less a=20
friend. Fish was the son of a
Revolutionary War officer =
whose=20
father had been a friend of
George Washington's and whose =
mother=20
was a descendant of Peter
Stuyvesant, who had once thrown =
every=20
Jew in New York in jail.
Then Grant did a startling =
thing. He=20
contacted Joseph privately,
and said he would like to =
make him=20
Secretary of the Treasury, but
Joseph declined.
Daniel Drew, a large stock manipulator, was able to =
force
the=20
price of Erie stock up and down at will. Why did Drew =
want
his=20
shares sold in London and not New York? So New York =
wouldn't
find=20
out about it for a while. Allied with Drew in =
his
operations were=20
two other terrors of the age "Jubliee Jim" Fisk,
a former =
circus=20
roustabout, and an ex-farm hand who became the
leader of =
the=20
threesome named Jay Gould.
The Seligman firm, in Joseph's words, did "an =
enormous
amount=20
of business" in the Gould manipulations of the Erie=20
stock,
selling short for their own account whenever Gould =
or Fisk=20
or
Drew sold short, as they did consistently, letting the =
three
men's operations provide the pattern for the =
Seligmans'=20

and scandalous financial coups of the decade, =
Jay=20
Gould's attempt
to corner the gold market.
On September 24, 1869 Gould began raising the price of=20
gold
from one hundred dollars to about one hundred and =
forty=20
five
dollars, meanwhile having gotten new freight =
contracts, at=20
a

to=20
climb
as the Gould-Drew-Fisk group began buying, while =
the=20
Seligmans,
acting as the trio's brokers, also bought for =
their=20
own account.
Grant seemed to be falling into line =
perfectly, and=20
gold did
indeed reach one hundred and forty five dollars. =
Then,
apparently, covetousness, one of Mr. Gould's most=20
consistent
emotions took over, and Gould decided to let =
gold get=20
a little
higher, to one hundred and fifty dollars before =
selling.=20
At this
point Grant seemed to realize what was going on, =
and=20
ordered his
Secretary of the Treasury to dump four =

dollars in gold on

down=20

Early in 1877 Sherman summoned a representative group of=20

to
Washington, and sent each into a separate room "to =

Each
man submitted his recommendations, and a week later =
Sherman=20
sent
for Joseph and told him that his plan was "by all =
odds=20
the
clearest and most practical," and would be adopted. =
The=20
plan
called for building up a gold reserve of =
approximately=20
forty
percent of the outstanding greenbacks through the =
sale of=20
bonds
for coin, something Joseph was good at. The plan =
worked so=20
well
that within two years the dollar was quoted at par =
for the=20
first
time since 1861.
In 1887 Senator Patterson, presiding over the=20
investigating
committee wanted to determine how much =
pressure the=20
banking firms
had exerted to swell public confidence in, =
and=20
promote, the now
bankrupt Panama Canal Company. He asked =
Wright,=20
"Was not the
moral and business influence of these three =
great=20
banking houses
given to the enterprise?"
Wright =
replied=20
hedgily, "In what respect?"
"As far as affecting public =
opinion=20
in the United States was
concerned."
"I presume so," =
said Mr.=20
Wright.
"Was that not sufficient, in a large degree, to =
mold=20
public
opinion in favor of the Panama Canal Company?" =
asked the=20
Senator.
"That," replied Wright with extreme caution, "I =
am not=20
prepared
to answer."
Of course an honest answer would certainly have been =
"Yes."
It=20
soon turned out that the Seligman-Morgan-Lanier alliance =
had
gone=20
to considerable lengths to appoint men to the American=20
canal
committee whose names would add luster and prestige =
to=20
the
project.
The investigation unearthed the fact that Jesse Seligman=20
had
offered his old friend ex-President Grant the =
chairmanship of=20
the
canal committee at a salary of twenty four thousand =
dollars=20
a
year-which Grant could certainly have used at that =
point.=20
But
Grant declined the offer, and Jesse had then =
approached=20
President
Hayes's Secretary of the Navy, Richard W. =
Thompson, who=20
had
resigned his Cabinet post to take the job. Obviously, =
placing=20
a
former Navy Secretary in the Canal Company was just the =
sort=20
of
thing Senator Patterson was talking about. Thompson's =
duties=20
for
the company were partly those of a lobbyist, a man =
who=20
could
influence the opinion of Congress (and help =
persuade it to=20
block
the progress of the Nicaragua Canal Company), and =
also=20
to
strengthen the "image" of the company with the =
American=20
press,
and to inspire the confidence of American Stock=20
purchasers. When
Jesse Seligman was called before the=20
investigating committee, he
proved a more straightforward =
witness. The entire Panama Canal
undertaking, he =
admitted, had=20
been badly planned and riddled with
"corruption, fraud, =
and=20
thievery."
Senator Thompson on the investigating committee was=20
curious
about some of the appointments that had been made =
to the=20
canal
committee, and asked Jesse, "Why was Mr. Thompson =
selected=20
as
chairman? He was not a great financier, was he?"=20
Jesse
replied,"No, but he was a great statesman and =
lawyer." "But=20
you
offered the place to General Grant. Now he was a =
great=20
soldier,
a popular idol, but he was not a great lawyer, =
or=20
financier, or
great statesman, was he?" With a smile, =
according=20
to the
Congressional Record, Jesse began, "Well.." =
Senator=20
Geary
interjected, "There may be some difference of =
opinion on=20
that
point." Sitting forward in his chair, Jesse Seligman =
said
calmly, "General Grant was a bosom friend of mine, =
and I=20
always
look out for my friends."
Secretary Thompson said:
"In my official capacity as Secretary of the Navy, I =
have
had=20
especial opportunities to understand and appreciate=20
his
(Joseph's) character. My first intercourse with your=20
(banking)
house was had through him, in the summer of =
1877, soon=20
after the
Department was placed under my charge. At that =
time,=20
its
financial condition was seriously embarrassed, being =
indebted=20
to
your house several hundred thousand dollars, which was =
steadily
increasing on account of drafts drawn by Naval =
pay=20
officers in
all parts of the world, and which were =
accepted and=20
paid by you
in London. It was impossible to discharge the =
whole=20
of this
debt, or even any large proportion of it, without =
adding=20
to the
existing embarrassment and causing serious injury =
to the=20
Service.
When he came to understand this condition of =
affairs, he=20
at once
proposed to carry the debt to the beginning of =
the next=20
fiscal
year and to allow drafts to be continued until =
then=20
without
regard to the amount. The proposition was liberal =
and in=20
the
highest degree patriotic; and having been thankfully =
accepted=20
by
me the Department was enabled to bridge over all its=20
pecuniary
trouble. But for this, the injury to its credit =
and to=20
the
Service generally might have been irreparable."28
And so for a while the Seligman brothers were=20
personally
meeting the payroll of the United States Navy. =
The=20
Seligmans
continued their influence over the United =
States=20
government with
President Roosevelt:
"I (James Seligman) called on President Roosevelt and=20
asked
him point-blank if, when the revolt broke out, an =
American=20

lives=20
and

for me."29
At one of the Seligmans' weekend retreats, it was never=20
a
surprise to find a former U.S. President, a Supreme=20

Justice, several Senators and a Congressman or two. =
The

examine=20
what
takes place. Money is taken out of your wage =

What
actually happens is that this money is placed into =
the=20

as your payment on the national debt and an IOU =
for this=20

goes into the trust fund. When you make a claim =
for your=20
Social

the=20
bankers,
thereby perpetually increasing the national debt =
your=20
children
will have to pay. This was part of the new deal, =
the=20
United
States agreed to borrow every dollar the =
government uses=20
from
these same bankers. When you receive a Social =

you'll look=20
on

is the amount that you pay for your supposed Social =

Through
your public school training and the context in =

Does it? What do lawyers, judges and the =

definition=20
in Blacks Law
Dictionary, it reads as follows:

which he ought to pay or bear. Under principle=20
of

So you see when you went to the Social Security office=20

signed=20
the

tortfeasor
and that you were equally responsible with the =

increased=20
their
return on their money in several ways. First, what =
was=20
just
covered, the Social Security scam. The money you pay =
out is=20
a
tax, payment on the national debt. Second, once the =
gold=20
was

was the bankers fiat money. The definition of =

Congressman Jerry Voorhis said:
"The banks -- commercial banks and the Federal Reserve=20

The loss of your sovereign status has all been done=20
by
contract. A contract can override any pre-existing law =

the Constitution of the United States. Your =
rights and=20
your

contracts you've=20

bankers.
Contracts do not have to be written down on =
paper. The=20
contracts
you have been involved in (in relation to your =

for the
most part have been silent contracts. You can =

The=20
bankers have

benefit you

fiat money
without being put in jail for stealing. The =
bankers=20
offered this
money through the government, you accepted =
and used=20
this money
without objection, which proves your =
consideration.=20
Because of
your acceptance and consideration of this =
silent=20
contract
(without your objection), the bankers have a =
right to=20
compel you
to preform to any stipulations that they might =
add to=20
protect
their investment. Since you are the collateral =
(your=20
labor)
which is the surety for the contract, they have a =

to

These regulations are compelled performance, because you =
have=20
to
comply as long as you receive the benefit of =
discharging=20
your
debt, and if you refuse you can be locked away in =
jail for=20
the
public welfare. Why? Because you might damage=20
another
tort-feasor. This is just one benefit (silent =
contract)=20
there
are many others that are offered through the =
government.=20
I've
covered one which was the Social Security benefit. =
The=20
benefits
offered by government serve another purpose, but =
to the=20
same end.
They have been offered to remove any claim you =
might=20
have had to
the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. This =
began=20
when the
Fourteenth Amendment was passed.
Section 1. =
All=20
persons born or naturalized in the United
States, and =
subject to=20
the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of
the United =
States and=20
of the State wherein they reside. No State
shall make or =
enforce=20
any law which shall abridge the privileges
or immunities =
of=20
citizens of the United States; nor shall any
State =
deprive any=20
person of life, liberty, or property, without
due process =
of law;=20
nor deny to any person within its
jurisdiction the equal=20
protection of the laws.
Section 4. The validity of the =
public=20
debt of the United
States, authorized by law, including =
debts=20
incurred for payment
of pensions and bounties for =
services in=20
suppressing insurrection
or rebellion, shall not be=20
questioned.
You would say that this was done to emancipate the=20
Negro.
That's what you've been told, but that is not the =
only=20
reason.
Remember at the beginning of this paper? Joseph =
Seligman=20
told us
one reason, which was to increase the national =
debt.=20
Another
reason was to create a federal citizen. The =
Negroes were=20
given
their United States citizenship by Congress's =
enactment of=20
the
Fourteenth Amendment. Anything that is created by=20
government,
can be regulated and controlled by =
government,=20
through its
insular capacity. Another reason was that =
part of the=20
Fourteenth
Amendment made it illegal for a United States =
citizen=20
to
challenge the Validity of the national debt. The=20
government's
part in this was to offer benefits to the =
American=20
people.
Thereby, making it possible for the American =
Citizen to=20
become a
citizen of the United States. The acceptance of =
these=20
benefits
changed your status from a large C Citizen =
(proper=20
noun), to a
small c citizen, which made you subject to =
the=20
government. If
you'll look at the Constitution you'll see =
that=20
prior to the
Fourteenth Amendment, Citizen was a large C =
and=20
after the
Fourteenth Amendment this changed to a small c. =
Another=20
way your
status changed was by your signing government =
forms that=20
used the
metaphor United States citizen. For example on =
your 1040=20
form or
W2 form or passport etc., you were asked if you =
were a=20
citizen of
the United States (the word of in law means =
belonging=20
to) small
c, because you didn't know the words United =
States was=20
a
metaphor, you said sure and signed the forms. Even if =
you=20
hadn't
received any benefits from the government you were =
now a=20
small c
citizen and subject to the government, because of =
the=20
declaration
you made when you signed these forms. As I =
said=20
earlier there
are a multitude of benefits offered by the=20
government. These
include all of the Social programs, =
being a=20
registered voter,
having bank accounts, having insurance, =
working=20
for government
created corporations, the benefit of =
police=20
protection etc.. just
to name a few. What this means is =
that you=20
no longer have the
same status as our forefathers. The=20
Constitution before the
Fourteenth Amendment no longer =
applies to=20
you. The only rights
you have are those granted to you by =
your=20
king (government). Any
rights that are granted to =
Fourteenth=20
Amendment citizens can be
taken away. For example, the =
Second=20
Amendment, the right to bear
arms. Because of public =
policy this=20
right is going to be taken
away to protect the =
tortfeasors=20
(co-sureties for the national
debt). Have you noticed how =
the=20
government has said that this is
a health issue? The =
bankers are=20
losing to many co-sureties, and
the tax money they pay =
in. The=20
bankers required all of these
entitlements and enacted =
these laws=20
to protect their subjects and
to increase the amount of =
taxes=20
being collected. The main reason
the guns are going to be =
collected is to remove any danger to the
government, when =
they=20
declare martial law and totally suspend =
the
Constitution.
The incredible genius of this is that this was done=20
with
your
approval and you paid for it. Were not taxes =
required to pay the
debts acquired by the United States =
on your=20
behalf, if you are a
voter, which makes you a party to =
any=20
decision that Congress
makes?
Were not these taxes =
paid by=20
your labor, so are you not working
for
the bankers? =
Are you=20
not subject to their whims through interest
rates and =
monetary=20
policies set by them? The over-riding
question
is were =
you=20
aware of this? True you've subjected =
yourselves
voluntarily, but=20
were you aware of the bankers intent to enslave
you. Were =
you=20
aware of the secret arrangements made between the
United =
States=20
government past and present with the =
international
bankers.
The following is the definition of secret taken from=20
Blacks
Law Dictionary:
"Concealed; hidden; not made public; particularly, in=20
law,
kept from the knowledge or notice of persons liable =
to=20
be
affected by the act, transaction, deed, or other thing =
spoken=20
of.
Something known only to one or a few and kept from=20
other."
Because you are a registered voter and receiving=20
monetary
benefit from the government, which is provided =
by the=20
bankers,
you are obligated to abide by any statute that =
Congress=20
might
pass in favor of the bankers.
The money this country uses will be the down fall of=20
our
monetary system. In other words because this fiat =
money has=20
no
value other than the three cents it costs to produce =
it, you=20
have
never paid for anything, and the bankers gave you=20
limited
liability so you cannot be sued for this. The =
final=20
beneficiary
for the continuing of these transactions =
(commerce),=20
are the
bankers. For every fiat dollar the bankers print =
and are=20
able to
get into circulation, they get ninety seven cents =
of=20
real
property, plus interest. This is called a no =
interest=20
contract.
What does this mean? As an example read the=20
following:
Let's say you bought a home that you did not intend to=20
live
in, for ten thousand dollars and the house was =
appraised=20
for
eighty thousand dollars. You then purchased a =
insurance=20
policy
for two dollars a month, that would protect you =
for the=20
full
eighty thousand dollars. You would not have a =
interest in=20
seeing
the policy continue. It would be in your interest =
for the=20
house
to burn down, because you would make a profit of =
seventy=20
thousand
dollars. This is a no-interest contract, some =
times=20
called a
wager contract. (James Montgomery)
When you use federal reserve notes you are involved in=20
a
silent contract between you and the bankers. The =
bankers are=20
the
suppliers, the government and the United States =
citizens are=20
the
receivers. Anyone around the world that has received =
this=20
fiat
money for payment or is involved with the banking =
system's=20
are
also receivers of this benefit. This fiat money=20
creates
increased perpetual debt with its use, the =
bankers=20
hidden
interest is for you and the government to never be =
able to=20
pay
off your debt. They loan this money out with the=20
understanding
that the debt can be paid off. This is =
impossible=20
because you
cannot pay off a debt with fiat money which =
is=20
discharging the
debt and passing it to someone else. Have =
you=20
been reimbursed
for your labor when you are paid with =
fiat money?=20
No. What do
you receive when you receive fiat money? =
Don't you=20
receive a
debt note? A tax is required on the valueless =
money you=20
were
paid for your labor, just as if you were paid real =
money.=20
The
difference being you can't pay a debt (tax) with fiat =
money.
Your labor and your property are being transferred =
for=20
the
payment of these taxes. Your labor is being required =
to pay=20
a
tax for the use of money that has no value. So don't =
you go=20
in
the hole every time you receive and accept fiat money =
for=20
payment
for your labor? Sure you do, think about it, this =
is the=20
most
ingenious scam ever devised. Just as soon as people=20
start
refusing to accept the federal reserve notes the =
whole=20
system
would crumble. It is only your faith in the =
security of=20
the
dollar that gives it its buying power. The debt =
cannot be=20
paid
off and the fact that it's in the bankers interest =
to loan=20
out
more fiat money, because they receive real property =
in=20
return,
the bankers will do anything to continue this =
fraud. When=20
you no
longer have enough labor to satisfy the debt, your =
property is
then transferred through bankruptcy. This is =
a=20
classic
no-interest contract, it is illegal and the =
bankers and=20
anyone in
government that are involved should be jailed. =
What=20
completes
this trap? The government has made it law, that =
the=20
only money
that can be used is the fiat money the bankers =
print=20
and
distribute. Thereby, you are being forced to be a =
party to=20
a
silent contract where your consideration is based on=20
coercion.
You might ask, do I have a remedy? You bet. Can =
you=20
be
compelled to enter a contract? No. Can you be bound by =
a
contract where there is fraud involved? No. So what's=20
your
remedy? Study these issues and study, study and =
study some=20
more.
Then! Quit receiving voluntarily, government =
benefits that=20
you
are not compelled (forced) to. Learn how to object to =
these
benefits when you are compelled by government to =
accept=20
them,
thereby, reserving your common law right under God =
to be=20
a
freeman and a freeholder of your property while=20
maintaining
your Sui Juris status. Here is the definition =
of Sui=20
Juris:
"Possessing all the rights to which a freeman is =
entitled;
not=20
being under the power of another, as a slave, a minor, =
and
the=20
like." (Bouviers Law Dictionary 1914 ed.)
What about the other parties in the transactions you =
have
been=20
involved in? They accepted this fiat money as payment, =
so
no one=20
has been wronged. Or have they? What about the =
real
property or=20
services that have transferred, have these =
parties
received real=20
value? No! Let's say in a hypothetical situation
that you =
sell a=20
piece of land for one hundred thousand dollars
and you =
are paid=20
one hundred thousand fiat dollars, you're happy,
but =
wrongfully=20
so.
The money you've been paid is worth three cents on =
the=20
dollar,
but on April 15 you will have to pay a tax based =
one=20

thousand dollars. Your property has been stolen =
from you=20
(with
your consent) and you now have to pay a tax of =
twenty=20
five
percent, twenty five thousand dollars to the IRS, =
which is=20
based
on the full amount, one hundred percent not the =

thousand dollars that will be paid by your labor. So =
for=20
selling
your property you are now in the hole twenty two=20
thousand
dollars. You would say I still made seventy five =
thousand
dollars on the deal. Did you? Remember Congress =
has to=20
borrow
every dollar that is in print, including your =
seventy=20
five
thousand dollars. You have seventy five thousand =
dollars of=20
debt
that your children will have to pay back and their=20
children
etc... Also this money has no value and is =
supported=20
only by the
faith of those that use it. Suppose right =
after you=20
sold your
land the bankers told the American people the =
truth,=20
that the
money has no value. Where would you be then? =
There is=20
no
security in a money system that has no foundation.
Here's another example of how the debt cannot be paid=20
off;
remember, the only money in existence is the money =
the bank=20
has
created. Let's say the bank loaned out one thousand =
dollars=20
to
the government and wants ten percent interest in =
return.=20
Where
is the government going to get the ten percent of =
bank=20
created
money to pay the interest on its loan? The bank =
didn't=20
print
money in excess of the original loan that could be =
used=20
free of
charge to pay the interest. The only method of =
paying=20
the
interest is to borrow more money on the credit of the =
citizens of
the United States. This practice of borrowing =
money=20
to pay
interest creates perpetual debt, that cannot be =
paid=20
off,
Jefferson was right. Eventually the Bankers will =
have=20

foreclose on America.

Question: Do you mean that banks, in buying =

Answer (by Secretary Anderson): "That is =
correct.=20
Banks are
different from other lending institutions. When =
a=20
savings and
loan association, an insurance company, or a =
credit=20
union makes a
loan, it lends the very dollar that its =
customers=20

simply=20
adds to the
borrower's deposit account in the bank by the =
amount=20
of the loan.
The money is not taken from anyone else's =
deposit;=20
it was not
previously paid in to the bank by anyone. It's =

money,

"We=20
