08. Bankruptcy & American Law | Bankruptcy | Sovereign’s Handbook

By Johnny Liberty

Numerous federal U.S. bankruptcies are directly linked to profound shifts in the united states of America system of law. Without “substance (Ø) ” and without real “money ($)”, there can be no “Common law” actions, recourses or remedies. 

MERGED COMMON LAW WITH EQUITY JURISDICTION

U.S. Bankruptcy Merged Law with Equity

When the federal United States government corporation borrowed from the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) in excess of their ability to pay in substantive, real “money ($)”, and the private international banks demanded to be paid in gold, the sovereign state republics and their respective “state” Citizens effectively lost their sovereignty because they no longer resided in a solvent sovereign nation such as the “United States”.

Under the political prompting of the Royal Institute for International Affairs (RIIA), the British Accreditation Registry (BAR), the American Bar Association (ABA), and other international organizations, the federal U.S. government corporation accommodated the bankruptcy dilemma by merging “Common Law” with “Equity” law in such a way as to not alarm the “U.S. citizens” of their newly acquired “subject” status under “United States” and international bankruptcy laws.

From that day forward, there could no longer be an authentic “Common law” court, or distinct jurisdictions (Law, Equity, Admiralty/Maritime) as authorized by the U.S. Constitution. Henceforth, all “law” would be under “color of law” or commercial in nature. All “law” would be practiced as legislative, “statutory”, or commercial proceedings under the rules and procedures of “Equity”law or “Admiralty/Maritime”, not the “Common law”

As every BAR-licensed attorney knows, the rules of “Equity” law are quite different from the rules of “Common law”. Equity law compels performance upon the letter of a contract obligation, or in the interest of the principal-creditor in case of financial default, but “Equity” allows a jury trial for controversies exceeding $20.00  in real “money ($)” not “fiat (Ø)” paper currency. “Equity” also outlawed debtor’s prisons. 

Furthermore, American Nationals, “state” Citizens, and U.S. citizens are held accountable to the U.S. bankruptcy because of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution which we will address later in this book.

THREE DISTINCT JURISDICTIONS

U.S. Bankruptcy Tried in Admiralty Court

However, the proper jurisdiction for an international default on debt due to the U.S. bankruptcy in “Equity” law must be brought to trial in an “Admiralty/Maritime” court, which do not recognize any of the constitutional protections of the “Equity” law or “Common law” courts. 

Unlike “Common law” and Equity” jurisdictions, a jury in an “Admiralty/Maritime”court is purely advisory to the judge who may rule contrary to a jury verdict if the judge so decides “Admiralty/Maritime” courts can impose criminal penalties on those who fail to perform to the letter of the contract. 

In a courtroom, you can easily recognize “Admiralty/Maritime” jurisdiction by the distinct gold-fringed flag. But the judge, the prosecutor and defense attorney will never admit the truth or fully disclose, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

08. Federal U.S. Government Corporation is Bankrupt | Bankruptcy | Sovereign’s Handbook

By Johnny Liberty

 “Mister Speaker. We are here now in Chapter 11. Members of Congress are official trustees presiding over the greatest reorganization of any bankrupt entity in world history, the U.S. government.”
~ James Traficant, Jr. (D-Ohio) addressing the House on Wednesday, March 17, 1993, U.S. Congressional Record, Volume #33, page H1303

Shifting from Statesmen to Politicians

Since the passage of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, the federal U.S. government corporation has continued to this day to borrow and spend without limit or accountability. Trillions of “dollars (Ø)” are missing and are unaccounted for by the General Accounting Office (GAO). Executive Departments and U.S. government agencies have embezzled funds and refused to track where the “money (Ø)” authorized by the U.S. Congress was spent.

Historically speaking, power hungry, money-crazed, “elected representatives” in the U.S. Congress, the supposed guardians of the constitutional Republic, took only 20 years (1913 – 1933) to bankrupt the federal U.S. government corporation the first time. Then they “sold out” the united states of America to its foreign principals-creditors. This was the day when statesmen/stateswomen, who loved this country more than their own self-interest, became corrupt politicians instead.

In 1933, the federal U.S. government corporation declared bankruptcy for the first time by Presidential Proclamation (PP) #2039, issued March 6, 1933, and Presidential Proclamation (PP) #2040, issued March 9, 1933, which temporarily suspended all banking transactions by member banks of the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB). Normal banking functions were resumed on March 13, 1933 subject thereafter to new restrictions. 

These Presidential Proclamations (PPs) took effect after U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared a “National Emergency” pursuant to Executive Orders (EOs) # 6073, 6102, 6111, and 6260 (see Senate Report 93-549, pp. 187, 594; 5 USCA§903) under Trading with the Enemy Act of 1917, codified 12 USC 95a; HJR 192 of June 5, 1933; confirmed in Perry v. U.S. (1933), 294 U.S. 330-381 and 31 USC 5112, 5119.

THE FIRST OF MANY UNDECLARED U.S. BANKRUPTCIES

Foreclosure of U.S. Government Corporation

Without advance notice, the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) effectively foreclosed on the U.S. Department of the Treasury in 1933 and demanded gold ($) to satisfy the interest payment on the debt obligations incurred since 1913. On June 5, 1933, the U.S. Congress enacted House Joint Resolution (HJR) 192 to suspend the gold standard indefinitely.

“Whereas the holding or dealing in gold  affects the public interest, and are therefore subject to proper regulation and restriction; and whereas the existing ‘national emergency’ has disclosed that provisions of obligations which purport to give the obligee (Federal Reserve Bank) a right to require payment in gold.”~ House Joint Resolution (HJR) 192

Suspension of Gold Standard and Confiscation

In 1933, the Department of the U.S. Treasury (U.S. Treasury Department today) was emptied of its gold, including all its gold in the legendary Fort Knox. The gold was immediately deposited in the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB). Every state in the Union went bankrupt as well by pledging their good faith and credit (future productivity) to aid the federal U.S. government corporation. 

The Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) directed U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt to declare a “National Emergency” and prohibit the private ownership of gold ($) within the federal United States for U.S. citizens. U.S. citizens subjected to federal jurisdiction were ordered to deliver their gold immediately to the nearest Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) by Executive Order (EO). #6102

Although, by law, Executive Order (EO) #6102 applied only to U.S. citizens and federal government employees, other American National or sovereign “state” citizens complied (as they didn’t know any better) and handed over their real money ($) in exchange for a paper money substitute (Ø). 

If you wonder why you do not have any real “money ($)”, it is because you are being robbed in broad daylight by the international “banksters” and the principals-creditors of the U.S. government corporation. Most people hardly even noticed back then until it was too late, and fewer still realize it is happening again today.

Incapable of Ever Paying Debt

Since House Joint Resolution (HJR) 192, the American people have not been capable of lawfully paying a debt. We can only exchange and transfer debt from one party to another which is what we do when we buy or sell real estate, products or services with Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs). 

No debt personal or federal can ever be fully paid back. The federal/national debt and obligation to its creditors is perpetual, growing exponentially and lasting in perpetuity (until bankruptcy do us part and the federal U.S. government closes its doors forever). 

“If we do not change our direction, we are likely to end up where we’re headed.” ~ Chinese Proverb

UN-PAYABLE DEBT

Profound Shift from Substantive Common Law 

The indefinite suspension of the gold standard and prohibition against the payment of debts due to the fiat (fictitious) nature of the money supply, also altered the legal concept of “substance ($)” from the “Common law” jurisdiction. The profound impact of this is rarely considered. This shift from a “gold ($)” standard to a fiat “money (Ø)” supply shifted the very foundation of the entire American legal system. 

Political, economic and legal systems are all interconnected and linked together. A shift in one, must then shift the context of the others with considerable effort and remarkably vast, stealthy, systemic coordination. 

Under the “Common law” jurisdiction “money ($)”, for example, “gold ($)” or “silver ($)”, is lawful “substance ($)”or consideration, which was necessary for sealing a legal contract and transferring absolute “allodial” title to land. Each “Common law” contract was backed by lawful “substance (Ø)”which sealed any “Common law” contract with a minimum of $21.00 of silver, or lawful consideration. 

After the first U.S. bankruptcy was declared in 1933, and the gold standard suspended indefinitely, this long standing foundation of “Common law” contracts was undermined and eventually replaced with
“statutory” contracts that were and are outside the bounds of the U.S. constitution.

Lawful “money ($)” was replaced with a National Public Credit System where debt money or Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs)(Ø) would be defined as “legal tender (Ø)” to “discharge (Ø)” debts instead of real “money ($)”, once again, “gold ($)” or “silver ($)”. By implication, “Common law” was also suspended along with the gold standard indefinitely, as there was no real “money ($)” left in circulation to execute any action in law. Thus, this first U.S. bankruptcy resulted in a coup d’etat of the political, economic and legal systems.

“Except in matters governed by the federal Constitution or by Acts of Congress,
the law to be applied in any case is the law of the state…there is no general federal Common law.”
~ Erie R.R. v. Thompkins, 304 US 64 (1938)

The idea of an “un-payable” debt, a “debt (Ø)”  in perpetuity which can never be paid off, exists exclusively in the “Admiralty/Maritime”jurisdiction. This implies an international contract that compels specific performance. 

The “principal/creditor” in the fashioning of this “federalized Common law” is the “Admiral”, a “Sovereign Power” enlarging their powers and jurisdiction over the constitutional Republic as a result of public policy declared in HJR 192. The limited liability for payment of perpetual debt falls under the “federal law merchant” and the law of Admiralty/Maritime because of the subject matter, and the nature of the cause of the action. 

Thus, both the state and federal constitutions, and Common “law of the land”yielded to the “Admiralty/Maritime”, the “law of the sea”.  The federal U.S. government corporation chose another “Sovereign Power” as their “Master”. Since that ill-fated day in 1933, the “Sovereign Power” has no longer been the people of the united states of America as was intended by the Founders.

The Admiral is King of the United States

The “Admiral”, and whoever or whatever entity they personify, is the new “King/Queen of the United States”. The national sovereignty of the “United States” has been effectively and invisibly transferred to the foreign principals/creditors of the federal U.S. government. 

There have never been any constitutional provisions for this occurring. Nonetheless, this is exactly what has happened and is happening today. This is treason of the highest order, yet none of our leaders or “elected representatives” would dare to call it that (treason).

When the courageous U.S. Congressman Louis T. McFadden (R-PA) stood up to the mighty bankers and legislators in the 1930s, and brought impeachment charges against them, the indictments were buried in Committee and never came to the House floor for debate or consideration. 

Later, McFadden was believed to have been poisoned for daring to tell the truth. Few of our “elected representatives” in Washington D.C. have dared tell the truth about the implications of the first U.S. bankruptcy of 1933. 

In recent times, the outrageous, brave and courageous U.S. Congressman James Traficant, Jr. (D-Ohio) was indicted and imprisoned under false ethics charges for  daring to address the U.S. Congress about the first U.S. bankruptcy in 1933, and numerous other bankruptcies since that fateful day.

The federal U.S. government corporation is perpetually “bankrupt (Ø)”. Our children will inherit this un-payable “debt (Ø)”, along with the tyranny to enforce it. Take an honest look around and tell me if this is not happening today. 

CHALLENGE THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK UNDER ADMIRALTY JURISDICTION

International Banksters 

Many people not only lost their “gold ($)” in 1933, but were then paid only Ø.59 on the U.S. Dollar in worthless paper currency (Ø) when it was exchanged at the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB). 

The U.S. Supreme Court upheld FDR’s  radical policies due to his persistent threats to reorganize the judicial branch despite the Roosevelt Administration’s obvious unconstitutional acts. Under the Emergency Powers Act and Executive Authority of the U.S. President, the U.S. Constitution and the Common law were swept away with the stroke of a presidential pen. The “money trust” of the international bankers were firmly in charge. 

The Banking Act of 1935 established the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), booted out the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury and U.S. Comptroller of the Currency, then decreed that all profits of the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) would be retained exclusively by the bankers.

If you did not realize this beforehand, you now know that the federal U.S. government corporation has been “bankrupt(Ø)”, financially, legally, judicially and morally ever since that fateful day. 

Instead of making a necessary course correction of this grave constitutional error by repealing or amending the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 or challenging its constitutionality under the “Admiralty/Maritime” jurisdiction, despite a few courageous efforts to do so by U.S. Congressmen Ron Paul, the U.S. Congress has cowardly continued to  allow this pyramid scheme, grand theft and property confiscation to occur without question or challenge. 

Property confiscation has been accomplished through many methods including via excise and income taxes, social security taxes, probate and inheritance taxes; plus, inflationary monetary policies, devaluation of the paper currency, seizures, forfeitures, condemnations, malicious prosecutions and millions of bankruptcy proceedings. 

Today, like in times past, the U.S. Congress continues to borrow, spend and squeeze until the people of the united states of American cry “Uncle”.  Then, there is talk about “tightening the federal budget”, “balancing the budget”or “taxing the rich”, but then they go ahead, borrowing more and more. 

Twice a year, the U.S. Congress must raise the debt ceiling and get permission from the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) to do so. They must bow to their “Master”, the “Admiral”, to beg, borrow and spend more taxpayer “money (Ø)”. Every time they accomplish this, more land, property, real estate, assets, industrial capacity, and freedom are handed over to the foreign principals-creditors. 

Both political parties, Republicans and Democrats, have perpetrated this travesty to this very day with little or no opposition.

LOSS OF NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY

The True Cost is National Sovereignty

The true cost of funding the federal U.S. government corporation shopping spree for the exclusive profits of the private international banking cartel, all at public expense, has ultimately been the loss of national sovereignty for the “United States”, our lawful sovereign “state” Citizenship, the integrity of our political, economic and judicial systems and the complete loss of the U.S. Constitution with the Bill of Rights. 

“I have never seen more senators express discontent with their jobs…I think the major cause is that, deep down in our hearts, we have been accomplices in doing something terrible and unforgivable to this
wonderful country. Deep down in our heart, we know that we have given our children a legacy of bankruptcy. We have defrauded our country to get ourselves elected.” ~ John Danforth (R-MO)

As a principle of law, whenever the federal U.S. government, or any corporation or government, or any legal “person” declares bankruptcy, its sovereignty is effectively transferred to its principals-creditors who then determine how to distribute the assets. 

By implication, the U.S. bankruptcy is nothing less than an abrogation of national sovereignty. As a “bankrupt (Ø)” entity, the federal U.S. government corporation no longer has any lawful authority to initiate civil or criminal actions. No “bankrupt(Ø)” entity can issue credit or make loans. All U.S. government loans, benefits and grants are frauds on their face.

Thus, after the first U.S. bankruptcy the constitutional court system was suspended along with the constitutional money system, and replaced with military tribunals operating under “Admiralty/Maritime” law. These proceedings are disguised as “statutory” law in courtrooms under the occupation of the “gold-fringe” military flag of the United States.

Consequently, the power and authority of the federal U.S. government corporation resides in the sovereignty of its principals-creditors, aka Central Authority, the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) and its principals-creditors the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank (WB).

All courts, federal, state and county, are effectively convened in “bankruptcy proceedings (Ø)” against United States “persons” and “citizens of the United States”. These proceedings are suing via the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) in an “Admiralty/Maritime” jurisdiction.

07. Federal Reserve Banking System | Money | Sovereign’s Handbook

By Johnny Liberty

The Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) was originally based on the Vatican’s Canon law, and the principles of sovereignty established by the Declaration of Independence and codified in the U.S. Constitution with the Bill of Rights. 

Federal Reserve as Joint Stock Trust

In fact, the private international bankers used a “Canon Law Trust” as their model, adding private stock and renaming it as a Joint Stock Trust. Eric Madsen asserted that it was a type of corporation.

In 1873, the U.S. Congress had passed a law making it illegal for any legal “person”to create a Joint Stock Trust. The Federal Reserve was legislated post-facto to 1870, despite the fact that post-facto laws were strictly forbidden by the U.S. Constitution [1:9:3].

“This [Federal Reserve Act] establishes
the most gigantic trust on Earth.
When the President [Wilson] signs this bill
the invisible government of the Monetary Power will be legalized…
the worst legislative crime of the ages will be perpetrated by
this banking and currency bill.”

~ Congressman Charles A. Lindbergh, Sr. (1913)

To this day, the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) remains a United States, European and Global Power structure separate and distinct from the federal U.S. government corporation operating entirely outside the bounds of the U.S. Constitution. 

The Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) is a maritime lender and insurance underwriter to the federal U.S. government corporation, that operates exclusively under international “Admiralty/Maritime” law.

The maritime lender or insurance underwriter bears all the risks, and Admiralty/Maritime law compels specific performance by paying the annual interest due, or insurance premiums. 

All the assets of the debtor nation state, such as the federal U.S. government corporation, can be “hypothecated”, in other words, pledged as security to pay the federal /national debt by the maritime lender or insurance underwriter. Alarmingly, all the assets of the people of the united states have been “hypothecated” against both present and future “debt (Ø)” that is to be paid one day whenever the note is called.

The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 stipulated that the interest on the federal/national debt was to be paid in gold not in “paper money substitutes (Ø)”. There was no stipulation in the Federal Reserve Act whatsoever for ever paying down the principle on the loan. Thus, an un-payable federal/national “debt (Ø)” was instituted from the inception of the Act. Indeed, this seems crazy, but it is true.

The Federal Reserve Act was never challenged in a U.S. court of competent jurisdiction which would be have been under “Admiralty/Maritime” law. 

The Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) is a sovereign Joint Stock Trust fully independent of the federal U.S. government. It does not file a tax return or pay any “taxes”. It is not subject to Title 5, USC or to the scrutiny of the General Accounting Office (GAO). It had never filed statements of assets on any information form until recently kudos to former U.S. Congressmen Ron Paul (R-TX).

“Federal Reserve bonds, including the 
capital stock and surplus therein 
and the income there-from,
shall be exempt from federal, state and
local taxation, except taxes upon real estate.”
~ 12 USC 531

Not Federal and Nothing in Reserve

The name of the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB), in other words, the “FED”, is deceptive. There is nothing “federal” about the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) because it is not part of the federal U.S. government. In the Washington D.C. phone directories of yore, the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) was never listed under U.S. government offices.  

There is nothing held on “reserve” in the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB).  They project the appearance of being a “system” of regional offices to shift the appearance of power away from Wall Street, but essentially the power is centralized in the Board of Governors. They are not a “bank” because they do not deal with real, constitutional “money ($)”, but only “fiat (Ø)” money. 

The stated mission of the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) was to stabilize banking, but if one analyzes their track record, it has not achieved the stated objectives. It was never the objective of the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) in the first place. Instead it was a deceptive ploy to get the legislation passed and signed by the U.S. President with a minimum of resistance from the people. 

The Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) did, however, achieve the cessation of private capital formation in the hands of We the People by eliminating both the gold (1934) and silver (1968) standards for domestic currency, thus centralizing the power of capital formation in the hands of private international banking cartels.

“The main purpose for establishing 
a central banking system in the United States 
of America was to ultimately confiscate 
100% of the property and assets
of the American people.” 
~ Johnny Liberty

Passing the Federal Reserve Act

The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 was passed over a Christmas vacation on December 22, 1913 with merely ten legislative members in session. This was hardly a legal quorum for passing legislation by any stretch of the imagination. 

Most of the U.S. Congress was adjourned for the Christmas holidays. Furthermore, “U.S. citizens”, sovereign “state” Citizens, Congress and the President had been fooled by a well-orchestrated propaganda and media campaign into believing that the private international bankers and the Wall Street “money trust” were opposed to the legislation. 

Through clever political manipulation, propaganda and a knee-jerk reaction by the press, many of our leaders walked into a well-designed trap to support the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 despite its lack of legal quorum. U.S. President Woodrow Wilson signed the Act under considerable pressure and later regretted his signing the Act by saying. “I am a most unhappy man, unwittingly I have ruined my country.”

“The [Federal Reserve Act] as it stands seems to me to open the way to a vast inflation of the currency…I do not like to think that any law can be passed that will make it possible to submerge the gold standard in a flood of irredeemable paper currency.” ~ Henry Cabot Lodge, Sr. (1913)

We the People Were Our Own Bankers

Before the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 was passed into law, many people owned their own land free and clear of any bank liens, encumbrances or mortgages. We retained sovereign“allodial” title to property with all rights therein. 

Conventional mortgages, where one could borrow money to pay for a piece of land or property over the course of thirty years, did not exist. This turned out to be yet another not so subtle property confiscation scheme. 

Prior to the Act, one simply acquired land by assignment from a previous owner with a Bill of Sale, paid for in gold or silver coin or notes, then updated the “land patent“and received the true, lawful “allodial” title,which is absolute title and ownership to the land. Back then, land was not registered or recorded via an “equitable deed”.

> HYPOTHECATE – To pledge something as a security without taking possession of it.

After the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, all land and property within the federal U.S.was “hypothecated” to the Board of Governors as “Trustees” of the Federal Reserve Banking System cartel. In any Trust, the “Trustees” hold legal title, and have control over the assets of the third party or the “Beneficiaries”

> RE-VENUE – To shift jurisdiction from one “venue” or place to another; to shift the jurisdiction from the Republic of the united states of America to the Democracy of the federal United States corporation.

Venue and Citizenship

All that remained to seal the deal was to “re-venue” all sovereign “state” Citizens, along with their land, assets and property, then pursuant to the “Common law” jurisdiction of the united states of America, into the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal U.S. government corporation pursuant to the “Municipal law” of the District of Columbia (D.C.).

Today, the common meaning of “re-venue” is synonymous with “income”. The private international bankers, with the cooperation of the political establishment in Washington D.C., shifted the jurisdiction from one “venue” or place (united states of America) to another (District of Columbia).

After the bankers morphed the meaning of “venue”, they shifted the meaning of “citizens of the United States” from sovereign “state” Citizenship to U.S. citizenship. It was a clever, well-orchestrated slight-of-hand – a magician’s trick.

After the bankers shifted the meaning of citizenship, they made all the people believe that they were subject to paying the federal/national debt of the federal U.S. corporation pursuant to the 14th Amendment of the U.S. constitution, from that day forward, made payable to the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) via the “income tax”. 

U.S. Government Received Unlimited Credit Line

Under the terms of the Federal Reserve Act, the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) agreed to extend the federal U.S. government an “unlimited credit line” (paper money substitute (Ø)). The “United States” would be loaned all the funds needed by the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) to expand the power and reach of the federal “United States” empire indefinitely.

Like any other debtor borrowing money from a creditor, the federal U.S. government had to assign collateral and security to their creditors as a condition of the loan.  So what did it do?

Since the federal U.S. government did not have any significant assets in 1913, except a small modicum of public property, the government “hypothecated” all the private land and property of their “economic slaves” (U.S. citizens), as collateral (security) against the perpetually, un-payable federal/national debt. 

The federal U.S. government, along with their principals/creditors, needed a legal contractual nexus to lure more U.S. citizens and sovereign “state” Citizens into their venue under their jurisdiction, in order to expand the pool of land and property that they could hypothecate, attach and lien. So how did they accomplish this?

By manufacturing wars (WWI, WWII and WWIII), recessions and depressions such as the Great Depression, and then luring people into the Social Security Act of 1938. This not so subtle “conspiracy” created the “welfare state”, accomplished the objectives in less than three generations.

In addition to land and property, the federal U.S. government “hypothecated”  and pledged the assets of unincorporated federal territories, national parks and forests (clear-cutting forests is a environmental policy for federal debt reduction), birth certificates (each baby child is registered as property under the U.S. Department of Commerce), as well as all for-profit and non-profit corporations (all equity is owned by the Internal Re-Venue Service), as collateral to  the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB)x. 

Lastly, but not finally, these “co-conspirators” legislated a 1% federal income tax on corporations and U.S. persons (U.S. citizens and federal U.S. employees) to pay the “interest-only” on this expanding federal/national “debt (Ø)”. In 1913, less than 1% of the people and corporations paid any federal income taxes. This original income tax was effectively repealed by the Internal Revenue Act of November 23, 1921.

“The regional Federal Reserve Banks
are not government agencies.
…but are independent, privately owned and
locally controlled corporations.”
~ Lewis v. United States, 680 F.2d 1239 (9th Cir. 1982)

The Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) is a very private, foreign entity controlled by a cartel of private international bankers. The Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) can sue and be sued in their name,  unlike actual government agencies. Each of the regional Federal Reserve Banks (FRB) carries its own liability insurance. 

Each conducts its daily activities without any direction from the federal U.S. government. Each pays local property taxes and postage, which is even more evidence of private ownership. Each had listings in telephone directories, but never under U.S. government listings. 

The actual “joint stock holders” of the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) are held by domestic, foreign, and international central banks. According to archival sources, the following list does not reflect the actual ownership.

  1. The Rothschild’s of London and Berlin.
  2. The Lazard Brothers of Paris.
  3. Israel Moses Seif of Italy.
  4. Warburg Bank of Hamburg, Germany and Amsterdam.
  5. Kuhn, Loeb and Co. of Germany and New York.
  6. Lehman Brothers of New York.
  7. Goldman Sachs of New York.
  8. Chase Manhattan Bank of New York
  9. The Rockefeller Brothers of New York.

Formal Charges Against Federal Reserve

On May 23, 1933, U.S. Congressman, Louis T. McFadden, brought formal charges against the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB), the U.S. Comptroller of the Currency, and the Secretary of the U.S. Treasury for numerous criminal acts, including but not limited to, conspiracy, fraud, unlawful conversion, and treason. The following is a quote from McFadden’s famous address to the U.S. Congress in 1934.

“Mr. Chairman, we have in this Country one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Banks, hereinafter called the FED. 

The FED has cheated the Government of these United States and the people of the United States out of much more than enough money to pay the Nation’s debt. The depredations and iniquities of the FED has cost enough money to pay the National debt several times over.

This evil institution has impoverished and ruined the people of these United States. The FED has bankrupted itself, and has practically bankrupted our Government. It has done this through the defects of the law under which it operates, through the mis-application of that law by the Fed and through the corrupt practices of the moneyed vultures who control it. Some people think that the Federal Reserve Banks are United States Government institutions. 

[To the contrary] they are private monopolies which prey upon the people of these United States for the benefit of themselves and foreign customers; foreign and domestic speculators and swindlers; plus rich and predatory money lenders. 

In that dark crew of financial pirates, there are those who would cut a man’s throat to get a dollar out of his pocket; there are those who send money into states to buy votes to control our legislatures; there are those who maintain international propaganda for the purpose of deceiving us into granting of new concessions which will permit them to cover up their past misdeeds and set again in motion their gigantic train of crime.”
