Since the Russian Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, an artificially contrived dialectic has dominated the minds of economists and politicians alike – Capitalism vs. Socialism/Communism.
Nowadays, we are still reeling under the presumptive remnants of this false dialectic as two philosophical schools of economics – the Keynesian and Monetarist – still dominate world finances.
The Keynesian school dictates the functions of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank (WB) while Monetarism rules the Bank of International Settlements – the international Central Bank of the Group of Ten.
The Keynesian school advocates government involvement in regulating the economy, whereas, the Monetarist school recommends great restraint in expanding the money supply, since a reliable currency is the primary factor for maintaining a stable economy.
Article 1, Section 8, Clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution says, “Congress shall have the power to coin money, and to regulate the value thereof, and also, of foreign coin.”
Liberals, Progressives, Socialists, Fascists, and Conservatives have completely missed the point, according to Mark Evans, writing in Flatland Magazine. The issue that should have been getting political attention is “the struggle between the sovereign right of the people collectively, to create and control their own credit, and the paid political hirelings who have always served the vested interests of the banks and plutocracy.”
Missing Power to Monetize Paper
Mr. Evans asserts that this essential constitutional clause, Article 1, Section 8, Clause 5, was never fully put into effect. In hindsight, Thomas Jefferson had reservations about the matter. Jefferson wrote that his great regret about the U.S. Constitution was that it did not include a clause stating specifically that the U.S. Congress had the power to monetize paper.
Not monetizing paper was a political advantage the American colonists enjoyed for some time. Benjamin Franklin wrote that the American Revolution was fought in part because the British Crown suspended the rights of the colonies to print colonial scrip (their own paper money).
Mr. Evans says the much maligned and misunderstood U.S. Congressman Charles Augustus Lindbergh, Sr., (1859-1924), who based his radical economic theory on the U.S. Constitution, had broken away from standard economic rhetoric that was shaping the world in the early 1900s.
Mr. Evans believed that U.S. Congressman Lindbergh was probably approaching a simultaneously democratic and constitutional solution to the money problem. This is evidenced by the campaign to suppress his work, according to Evans.
Charles Lindbergh wrote, “The greatest of all the present social burdens is the excessive interest, dividends and rent charges levied on us by those who control centralized capital…the fruits resulting from the people’s toil…accumulated by the wealth absorbers who, by the current rules of government, possess the privilege of taxing all the people.”

Dawning of the Corona Age: Navigating the Pandemic by Johnny Freedom (3rd Edition) (Printed, Bound Book or PDF)
This comprehensive book, goes far beyond the immediate impact of the “pandemic”, but, along with the reader, imagines how our human world may be altered, both positively and negatively, long into an uncertain future. Available Now!
In the United States, every piece of “paper currency (Ø)” in circulation has been printed by the U.S. Treasury, borrowed from the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) with interest to be paid back by the federal U.S. government through taxation. Then, every U.S. Dollar (USD) printed is spent into circulation by the government, corporations and the people.
“[Every circulating FRN] represents a one dollar debt to the Federal Reserve System.”
Remember, this is a debt note that can never be paid back except through sweat, labor, hard work, the confiscation of assets, property and by taking away your unalienable sovereign rights and freedom.
We the People have unwittingly surrendered the lawful, constitutional money system to the international central bankers. We have accepted, without protest, a ”fiat (Ø)”money supply instead of real money ($). This fundamental act has destroyed our once great nation and ultimately enslaved our people economically. History repeats itself again and again, ad nauseum.
Global Economic Speculation and Casino Gambling
In our present global business model, the only way a nation’s economy can grow, develop and expand is by exponentially increasing the amount of debt in circulation. Every piece of paper currency in circulation incurs an escalating debt with interest to be paid via taxation.
Thus, the “fiat (Ø)” money supply increases both paper currency and much more frequently as electronic widgets inside a licensed central bank computer. The result of this expansion is inflation, devaluation and ultimately bankruptcy.
The financial end game for Western banking is on the brink of collapse, and may be very soon, as the U.S. government corporation cannot sustain the interest payment to the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB). Today, the total income of the federal U.S. government is not enough to make the annual interest payment on the national/federal debt.
In this economic model, stock markets soar and crash, currencies inflate and devaluate, consumer prices rise, and speculation is risky business on Wall Street. Our political leaders, and the central banks, are running the global economy like a casino gambling operation, and it is soon headed for a major adjustment or crash. Prepare yourself now for a tidal shift ahead, if it has not already happened by the time you read this book.
“In the 1970s, only 20% of all global investment and trade was speculative by nature, and 80% was directly related to the exchange of goods and services. By 1990, those figures had reversed. In 1993, only 5% of all global economic transactions were directly related to the exchange of goods and services.” ~ Wilfred Guth of the Deutsche Bank
Fractional Reserve Banking
Inflation is not only created by the issuance of paper money substitutes, but also created with negotiable instruments such as “checks (Ø)” and “fractional reserve banking”.
A convincing illusion has been perpetrated via media propagandists that there is a limited supply of paper currency (Ø) and a reserve (Ø) must be kept on hand if a lot of people suddenly need to withdraw “cash” from the bank or ATM.
Did you know that the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) and other international central banks routinely create “fiat (Ø)” paper currency, and electronic ledger entries, out of thin air? Did you know that the commercial banks with brands you are most familiar with are nothing more than separate accounting divisions of the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB)?
Here is a short summary of how “fractional reserve banking” works. Assume a legal central bank’s “reserve requirement” is 10%, although it is usually much less. For example, the local commercial bank (US Bank) down the street retains 10% (9:1) of your deposit just in case you want it back in paper currency or “cash”.
If you deposit Ø1,000 in the commercial bank, no sooner does it hit their cash box than you’ve created a Ø9,000 line of credit (Ø) so the bank can loan it to the guy in the line behind you, or invest in any thing else they want (stocks, bonds, real estate) at prevailing rates of interest. It is that simple.
This is how commercial banks create “money (Ø)” out of thin air. They also create income through service charges or bounced check fees. If you bounce a check (Ø), you pay a bounced check fee. If the commercial bank writes a bad check (Ø), it is legally called a “loan (Ø)”. All that is actually happening is that you are exchanging one promissory note for another.
Wow, that is incredible. Wouldn’t we all like to be able to create money out of thin air as the commercial banks do? That is such easy “money (Ø)”. But even to contemplate such an act could land you in prison for “conspiracy to counterfeit (Ø)”. Through legislative consent outside of the bounds of the U.S. constitution, both commercial and central bankers have acquired the licensed privilege to create money out of thin air. Then you are the one who must pay and pay and pay. This is the greatest scam of all times.
Commercial and central banks make a fortune from the ignorance of We the People. “Fractional reserve banking” is the reason banks compete for deposits in either checking or savings accounts. By depositing funds in a bank, you are expanding the national economy and unwittingly impoverishing yourself via inflation.
It works similarly when you use your credit card to make a purchase. Suddenly, moments after you swipe the credit card, “money (Ø)” springs into existence. No “money (Ø)”is actually loaned by the bank to the retailer. This is magic and bankers are the magicians!
While Banks Grow Richer, You Fall More Deeper Into Debt
Do you still wonder why the banks keep getting richer and richer and foreclosing on more and more property from the people? Do you still wonder why all the largest buildings downtown have the name of commercial banks on them?.
There are trillions of dollars of “bad checks (Ø)” in circulation which have created all this public and private debt. This is evident as the national debt, both funded and unfunded obligations are growing exponentially.
Current monetary policy has legalized check kiting, fraud, racketeering, and counterfeiting, with a lawful basis for repudiating both private and public debt. Perhaps you can now understand what a criminal and corrupt enterprise the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) and their political cronies in government are running?
The Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) controls the money supply, interest rates, the velocity or speed of introduction of paper currency (Ø). Today, when the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) prints an excess of new paper currency (Ø), thereby inflates and simultaneously devalues the paper currency, they call it a fancy term – “quantitative easing”.
The Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) has access to an unlimited supply of paper currency (Ø), paying the U.S. Treasury only the printing costs. Checks and electronic ledger entries of both credits and debits total far more than 95% of all deposits and transfers. Securities, bonds, mortgages, buildings, land, and stocks compose most of the hard tangible assets that banks own.
MONEY SUPPLY • INTEREST RATES • VELOCITY
The Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) can increase or decrease the “fractional reserve” requirements at will. Therefore, a “run on the bank” could not actually happen as it once did in the past. The central bank simply prints as much paper currency (Ø) as they need to retain confidence and control of the system.
The reason for “fractional reserve”requirementsis to regulate the greed of the member banks, and most importantly to maintain a certain level of quality in the investment portfolios. These portfolios have degraded significantly since the mortgage fraud and derivative investments which contributed to the Great Recession of 2008.
Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs) are nothing more than promissory notes for U.S. Treasury securities (T-Bills) — a promise to “pay (Ø)” an un-payable debt to the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) in gold or silver.
Have you borrowed paper money (Ø) to consolidate your debt only to discover you were more indebted than before? It is because you did not actually “pay (Ø)” the debt. Instead, you restructured the debt for future “discharge (Ø)”, but it was never paid-in-full.
Our economic/financial lives have been reduced to managing debt and earning paper money (Ø) to service an ever growing liability, both private and public. This, wise friend, is economic slavery.
Paying or Discharging Debt?
There is a fundamental difference between resolving and “discharging (Ø)” a debt. To “pay (Ø)” a debt, you must pay with value or substance (i.e. gold, silver, barter or a commodity). With FRNs, you can only “discharge (Ø)” a debt.
You cannot resolve a debt in a debt currency system. You cannot resolve a debt with a paper currency (Ø) without being backed by substance. Additionally, there is no valid or lawful contract under the Common law unless it involves an exchange of “good and valuable consideration, in other words, real money ($)”.
> ECONOMIC SLAVERY—A total loss of ones control over your financial affairs; working for no reward, no “money,” no substance, no asset accumulation; working for an unseen master; unknowingly surrendering ones property and assets to public indebtedness; invisible and undeclared bankruptcies.
The truth is we are doing business in “counterfeit (Ø)” paper currencies issued by the United States and European Power structure, an elite cartel. Are we bankrupting ourselves and our children into economic slavery? Wise up America.
“There is a distinction between a ‘debt discharged’ and a debt ‘paid.’ When discharged, the debt still exists though divested of its charter as a legal obligation during the operation of the discharge, something of the original vitality of the debtcontinues to exist, which may be transferred, even though the transferee takes it subjectto its disability incident to the discharge.” ~ Stanek v. White, 172 Minn. 390, 215 N.W. 784
Lawful Money as Gold or Silver
The net result of the Federal Reserve System is a hugely devalued dollar (Ø1 dollar in 1913 becomes Ø100 in 2022 or Ø20 dollars in 1913 becomes Ø2,000 in 2022). That’s a cumulative inflation rate of 10,000% in 109 years. Inflation over time is a hidden tax and essentially taxes the earnings of future generations.
The result is a persistent decline in real Individual income, an increasing un-payable national/federal debt (Ø30.4 trillion in 2022), an accelerating exponential debt curve, and ultimately the transfer of all the property and assets of the people of the united states of America to the international centrals bankers and the United States, European, Russian and Chinese Power structures behind them.
“The Federal Reserve debt note system was established by U.S. Congress under its ‘District’ powers because the Constitution required a gold or silver standard.” ~ International Tax Technologies
The United States and state constitutions prohibited the issuing of foreign bills of exchange (FRNs), or making anything except gold or silver as legal tender in the payment of debts. The Founders considered this an important check and balance against the encroachment of foreign money in the new Republic.
Why do We the People continue to allow this grand theft to occur, in broad daylight, without taking a stand for the constitutional Republic, and our own sovereign rights?
“No State shall…make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts.” ~ U.S. Constitution [1:10:1]
Lawful, constitutional and honest money ($) is coined or printed by the U.S. Treasury and spent into circulation by the federal U.S. government. The $5 U.S. Note and JFK’s $2 bill were interest-free. These are the constitutional components of a sound monetary system.

“All the perplexities, confusion and distress in America arise not from defects in their Constitution or Confederation, nor from want of honor or virtue, so much as downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit and circulation.” ~ John Adams
We the People are crazy about “money”. Whether you have a lot or a little, work hard, live off trust funds or collect welfare, inherit or win the lottery, there are intrinsic survival, fear and success issues linked with “money”, its acquisition and spending, that we rarely take the time to step back from the insanity, and ask the hard questions. Considering its importance, this attitude is crazy.
What is real “money”? Who controls money? How is money made? Where does money come from? How does the economic system really work? Why are so many people and businesses in America going bankrupt?
Is the accumulation of “money” the sole purpose for living? Is money really worth working and dying for, and for some, stealing or killing for? Why is money so glorified as an object of one’s attention and one’s affection? Is there a better alternative? How does my relationship with money reflect my values? How can I serve the greater community and myself, as well as work doing what I love?
“When it is a question of money, everyone is of the same religion” ~ Voltaire
Short History of Money
Until 1500 BC, all “money” was alive—cattle, lambs, goats or pigs. The first bankers financed great trading ships laden with cattle on long sea voyages, steering from port to port. While onboard on long journeys, pregnant cattle had offspring, calves or “kind” which was agreed by both parties that they belonged to the banker.
This was when the initial idea of “interest” on a loan first arose. However, in the long term, the concept of “interest” depletes the life-support equity of both depositors and borrowers, ultimately transferring equity and control to the banker.
In their sophisticated ancient civilization, the Phoenicians invented metal “money” in the shape of a pair of bullhorns. That was because metal coins were simpler to transport than steering, housing and feeding the actual cattle, coins gained popular usage as a commodity. Eventually coins were minted with precious metals like gold or silver which historically retained a stable value relative to purchasing power over time. Did you know that an ounce of gold has the same relative buying power today as it did in ancient Greece?
Money was not originally an invention of the state, but of private bankers and merchants.“Certain commodities become money quite naturally, as the result of economic relationships…independent of the power of the state…Though many different commodities have been used as money over the centuries,…gold and silver have emerged as money in the free competition of the market.”
Money Defined
> MONEY ($) – A tangible metallic substance with intrinsic and stable-store of value, distinguished from paper currency, checks and drafts.
> MONEY (Ø) – in the ordinary connotation it means coins and paper currency used as a circulating medium of exchange, not including notes, bonds, evidences of debt, or other private property or real estate.
True Source of Wealth
The true source of wealth of a nation lies with the skills of people and what they are capable of producing. Money itself is not a true measure of wealth, unless it has a tangible value as a commodity. However, it is an essential tool for trade in a free enterprise society.
Healthy economies are created from the production of goods and services, the ability to freely exchange those in the market at a price people are willing and able to pay. In indigenous societies, the wealthiest individuals with the most prestige were the ones who had the most to give away.
True wealth is in land and tangible assets. Wealth consists of tools, materials, equipment, and profit-generating assets. Wealth is bought with money. Unfortunately, wealth can be acquired by force, theft, legal plunder, through sovereign grants and deeds, or by other unscrupulous, dishonest and unethical means.
True wealth is also in intangible states of being such as health, serenity, clarity, creativity, harmony, honesty, kindness, compassion and consequent contentment.
“[It is the duty of Congress] to coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures…” ~ U.S. Constitution [1:8:5]
“No State shall…make any Thing but gold and silver Coin as Tender in Payment of Debts…” ~ U.S. Constitution [1:10:1]
A Dollar is a Measure of Weight By Law
How can we define a “dollar ($)”? In the united states of America, a dollar is a measure of weight defined by the Coinage Act of 1792, which issued the first gold coin, with legislative amendments, that are still in effect today.
A “dollar ($)” by definition specifies a certain quantity of tangible gold or silver. Furthermore, the relative value of silver is constitutionally proportionate to gold. In 1995, a dollar is still 371.25 grains of silver in a 480 grain coin which is equal to one ounce.
ONE DOLLAR = 1/20th OUNCE OF GOLD = .999 TROY OUNCE OF SILVER
As originally defined, a dollar equals 1/20th of an ounce of gold “money ($)” until it was “statutorily” devalued by the Gold Reserve Act of 1934 to 1/35th of an ounce of .999 pure silver “money ($)”.
The Founders decided only gold and silver were to be coined as money by the U.S. Constitution – that only gold or silver coins are considered real “money ($)” in America.
Wisely, they chose this path having seen how monarchs had debauched money supplies in Europe by printing paper money substitutes. The founders chose to avoid making the same mistake.
REAL MONEY = GOLD/SILVER
The Founders delegated the power to coin real “money ($)” to the U.S. Congress, and no other entity, foreign or domestic. Furthermore, The U.S. Constitution gave no lawful or constitutional authority to the U.S. Congress to delegate private banking via legislation to a private corporation or the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) that was supposedly authorized much later by the “statutory” Federal Reserve Act of 1913.
American People Were Our Own Bankers
Until 1913, We the People were our own bankers, creating wealth directly by mining the Earth and producing goods and services. We mined for gold and silver and brought it to the assay offices of the U.S. government to mint into coinage. In exchange, the U.S. government kept 10% of the gold and silver as a constitutional excise tax to cover the cost of minting.
U.S. Gold Certificates (1863-1934) were issued, redeemable and payable to the bearer on demand for gold coin. U.S. Silver Certificates (1886-1963) were issued, redeemable and payable to the bearer on demand for silver coin. Both were redeemable at local banks for real “money ($)” stored in the vault.
Even Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs) were redeemable in lawful “money ($)” at the U.S. Department of the Treasury Federal Reserve Bank (1934-1963).
Until 1934, a twenty-dollar gold coin was minted in gold, a one-dollar silver coin was minted in silver, then both were spent into circulation. Before 1968, dimes and quarters were still coined in silver and spent into circulation.
Today, U.S. dollars, half-dollars, quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies are still minted and spent into circulation although they have no precious gold or silver left in them, while “paper money substitutes (Ø)” and paper currency (except U.S. Notes) are “loaned” into circulation by the U.S. government.
By law, “money ($)“ is either gold or silver coins, or currency backed by gold and silver certified deposits in the U.S. Treasury, payable to the bearer on demand, or interest-free “United States Notes” spent into circulation by the federal U.S. government, for example, JFK’s $2 bill was spent into circulation interest-free.
“The importance of an honest, stable, gold money supply is to ensure that relative scarcity, demand and production efficiency of goods and services are accurately represented through their actual market prices. Prices are information.” ~ Boston T. Party
