Subject: The Prophecy
Thomas Jefferson once said: "If the American people ever allow private
banks to control the issue of currency..............the banks........will
deprive the people of all property, until their children will wake up
homeless, on the continent, their fathers conquered.........."
THEN:
The Makers of the Constitution foresaw the need of a national capital. The
city of Washington, the District of Columbia, became the capital in 1800.
There the work of the government is centered. Congress is given complete
charge and control over it. Its residents have no vote. They,
alone, of all the people in the United States, must obey laws, with the making
of which, they have had nothing to do. They elect no representative to
Congress; neither do they elect any city or district officer.
The money, which you use in all your business affairs, is made according to
laws passed by Congress. Congress controls the printing of paper money, as
well as, the coining of gold and silver money and the smaller coins of nickel
and copper. United States money, in the form of bills, is usually accepted, as
equal to gold, in any civilized country. That is because the government keeps
enough gold in the United States treasury, and in the banks, to meet all
demands on it, for redeeming the paper money.
Congress alone may have money
coined. No state may do so.
It is interesting to read the printing on several different kinds of
bills............. a "green-back " or United States note, a federal reserve
note, a gold certificate, and a national bank note, perhaps, given by a bank
in your own city.
One of these guarantees that the holder will be given
the
amount of the bill, in gold coin, upon demand; and in fact, gold can be
obtained for any of them.
With the power of Congress, to have money made, goes its power to punish
those who make false money. To make any coins or bills or stamps, in
imitation of those, of the United States, is counterfeiting. Even if it cost
a gang of counterfeiters twenty five cents to make a coin , to pass for a
dime, this would be counterfeiting and severely punishable in the United
States courts.
"THE CONSTITUTION OF OUR COUNTRY"

NOW:
On December 23, 1913, the U.S. Congress passed the Federal Reserve Act,
placing control of this nation's money into the hands of a private
corporation. In 1920, the 66th Congress passed the Independent Treasury Act.
In 1921, the united States abolished the U.S. Treasury.
This allowed all
United States money in the private Federal Reserve Banks to be kept separate
from Federal Reserve Notes. To wit:
"That, if any moneys or bullion, constituting part of the trust funds or
other special funds heretofore required by law to be kept in Treasury
offices, shall be deposited with any Federal reserve bank, then such moneys
or bullion shall by such bank be kept separate and distinct from the assets,
funds, and securities of the Federal Reserve Bank and be held in the joint
custody of the Federal Reserve Agent and the Federal Reserve Bank;"
From 1913, until 1933, under the authority of the U.S. Congress, a private corporation held control of this nation's GOLD.
The U.S. paid interest on the
use of their own gold, with more and more of its gold, ultimately ending in
bankruptcy.
Inevitably, the bankers foreclosed.
On March 9, 1933, the U.S.
declared bankruptcy,
as expressed in President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's
Executive Orders 6073, 6102, 6111, and 6260. President Roosevelt declared a
National Emergency that made it unlawful for any citizen of the United States
to own gold. Our bankrupt nation went into receivership and reorganized in
favor of it's creditor and new owners, a private corporation of
international bankers. (Since 1933, what is called the "United States
Government"
is a privately owned corporation of the Federal Reserve/IMF.)
Without a word of truth to the American people, all our good faith and
credit was pledged as the surety for the debt by the same Congress who created the mechanism that allowed it to occur.
Those exercising the offices of the several States, in equal measure, knew such "De Facto Transitions" were unlawful and unauthorized, but sanctioned,implemented, and enforced the complete debauchment and the resulting
"governmental, social, industrial economic change" in the "De Jure" States, and in United States of America.

doing.
Federalist Papers No. 44Craig vs. Missouri, 4 Peters 903
On June 5, 1933, Congress passed HJR-192. House Joint Resolution 192 was
passed to suspend the gold standard and abrogate the gold clause in the
national constitution. Since then no one in America has been able to
lawfully pay a debt. This resolution declared:
.........Whereas the holding or dealing in gold affect the PUBLIC
INTEREST, and are therefore subject to proper regulation and restriction:
and whereas the existing emergency has disclosed that provisions of
obligations which purport to give the obligee a RIGHT TO REQUIRE PAYMENT in
gold or a particular kind of coin or currency....ARE INCONSISTENT WITH THE
DECLARED POLICY OF CONGRESS IN THE PAYMENT OF DEBTS...........
...........PAYMENT in gold or a particular kind of coin or currency, or
in an amount in money of the united States measured thereby,
IS DECLARED TO
BE AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY:
.........................AND...........EVERY
OBLIGATION, HERETOFORE OR HEREAFTER INCURRED, SHALL BE DISCHARGED
upon payment, dollar for dollar, in any coin or currency which, at the time
of
payment, is legal tender for public and private debts....
All coins and currencies of the United States (including Federal
Reserve Notes and circulating notes of Federal Reserve banks and national
banking associations) heretofore, or hereafter, coined or issued, SHALL BE
LEGAL TENDER for all debts, public and private, public charges, taxes,
duties, and dues,....
House Joint Resolution 192, 73d Congress, Sess.I, Ch. 48, June 5, 1933 (Public Law No. 10 ).
Note: "payment of debt" is now against Congressional and "public
policy" and henceforth, "Every obligation...Shall be discharged."
As a result of HJR-192, and from that day forward (June 5, 1933), no
one in this nation has been able to lawfully pay a debt or lawfully own
anything. The only thing one can do, is tender in transfer of debts, with
the debt being perpetual. The suspension of the gold standard, and
prohibition against paying debts, removed the substance for our common law
to operate on, and created a void as far as the law is concerned. This
substance was replaced with a "PUBLIC NATIONAL CREDIT SYSTEM" where debt is
"LEGAL TENDER" money.
The Federal Reserve calls it "monetized debt."
HJR-192 was implemented immediately. The day after President Roosevelt
signed the resolution, the treasury offered the public new government
securities, minus
the traditional "payable in gold" clause.
The Judiciary branch of government has the power to correct this fraud upon
the people.
Yet, On May 23, 1933, Congressman, Louis T. McFadden, brought
formal charges against the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Bank
system, the Comptroller of the Currency and the Secretary of the United
States Treasury for criminal acts.
The petition for Articles of Impeachment
was, thereafter, referred to the Judiciary Committee, and has yet to be acted
upon.
In 1965 Congress passed the "Coinage Act of 1965" completely debasing the
Constitutional Coin; (gold & silver, i.e. Dollar).
U.S. vs. Marigold, 50
U.S. 560, 13 L. Ed. 257. At the signing of the Coinage Act on July 23,
1965, Lyndon B. Johnson stated, in his Press Release that:
"When I have signed this bill before me, we will have made the first
fundamental change in our coinage in 173 years. The Coinage Act of 1965
supercedes the Act of 1792. And that Act had the title: An Act
Establishing a Mint and Regulating the Coinage of the United States .
. ."
"Now I will sign this bill to make the first change in our coinage
system, since the 18th Century.
To those members of Congress, who are here
on this historic occasion, I want to assure you that in making this change
from the 18th Century we have no idea of returning to it."
In 1967, in a brazenly unconstitutional act, Congress repudiated its
obligation to redeem silver certificates in silver coin or bullion.
In the
book, "Pieces of Eight," Dr. Edwin Vieira writes:
On June 24, 1968 the United States, finally, abandoned the silver
standard
applicable since Queen Anne's proclamation of 1704, and embraced a
system of fiat bills of credit (e.g. alleged currency) based on irredeemable,
legal tender, Federal Reserve Notes and debased, legal tender, clad coinage,
never to be declared as lawful money of the United States.
Through misguided trust, our duly elected sworn public officials took
our lawful currency and changed it to unconstitutional bills of credit
(irredeemable Federal Reserve Notes), which continues to circulate only
because of the public's continuing, misplaced confidence in these
notes. The word "legal tender" on today's notes are not a magic incantation;
they impart NO intrinsic value to money, nor do they entitle the bearer to
exchange these notes for lawful specie. They are a throwback to feudal days
when the sovereign could, and did, issue a proclamation declaring what was
to be used as "money" whenever he wanted to debase the circulating medium.
INSCRIPTIONS ON FEDERAL RESERVE NOTES
1913 .............TO............ 1934
"Redeemable in Gold on demand at the United States Treasury or in Lawful
money, at any Federal Reserve Bank."
"Will pay to the bearer on demand one dollar."
1934 ..............TO.............. 1968
"This note is legal tender for all debts public and private and is
redeemable in lawful money at the United states Treasury, or any Federal
Reserve bank."
"Will pay to the bearer on demand one dollar."
1968 ...............TO............... 1995
"This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private"
THERE IS NO PROMISE TO PAY, NOR IS A NOTE A DOLLAR !!
US currency (notes, bills of credit) was always to be redeemable in United
States specie currency; first issued 76 years after the ratification of the
U.S. Constitution, which only mandates gold and silver coin as currency in
substance, not form.
Early Federal Reserve Notes were redeemable, but over
the years, the wording on these notes regarding the promise and obligation
has been gradually changed untill 1968. Since that time our "monetized debt"
money offers NO OBLIGATION AND THEY PROMISE NOTHING!!!!
Since 1913, there has been more than just a gradual and accelerating erosion
of the alleged dollar's purchasing power in our society. For the privilege of
using these notes of private corporate debt as our "money", we were absolved
from the responsibility of paying our debts at law.
We were placed in the
position of having the "benefit" of limited liability for payment of
debt under the jurisdiction of Vice Admiralty/Maritime law (the law
merchant/commercial jurisdiction, UCC) in all controversies.
For the
privilege of using monetized debt, we also lost the rights secured to us by
our Organic Constitutions, both National and State. Under the law,
merchant, you have no rights. We are now using as "lawful money", worthless
notes of private corporate debt, backed by our own credit that we can't own, and for
this "privilege" we are held to compelled performance under the
statutes.......
To make it simple, as long as this nation's lawful
currency is notes of private corporate debt, ( bills of credit...money
backed by no substance) it will remain impossible to ever repay a debt,
thereby keeping us and our posterity in debt into perpetuity.
Has Thomas
Jefferson's prophecy come to pass?
Under the contrived bankruptcy we have
lost the right to challenge the constitutionally of the statutes........
We
have lost our
law..........
We can own nothing..........
We have become corporate slaves on
the land we once owned..........And
................our children are waking
up homeless on the continent their forefathers conquered.
