The Daily Bell -- WSJ – International Banking Is in Crisis
june 2011 by adamcrowe
'The system of central banking has created perhaps the most monumental bubble ever seen. There are literally thousands of major banks and bank branches all over the world. The downtowns of every major city in the developed world and the developing world are littered with them. People are so conditioned as to their ubiquity that they don't even notice it. Imagine if banks were actually ... tire manufacturers. Now imagine entering a strange city and seeing the entire downtown was FILLED with skyscrapers, each one representing a different, competing brand. Imagine the city and the countryside was full of branches, all selling tires. It wouldn't make any sense. Nor does it make any sense to have so many banks. But they are protected by central banks; they are appurtenances of central banking. ...the Anglosphere elites behind them will never discard a large bank. They may MERGE the bank, but they will never wish to lose it.'

The Automatic Earth -- June 22 2011: A low thunder rolling 'cross the plains
june 2011 by adamcrowe
'Derivatives are the $800 trillion or more gorilla in today's financial room. The problem lies in the bets, the wagers, in the shape of default swaps, to the tune of trillions of dollars, that are out there, and that risk being triggered by a default being declared a "credit event"... It's starting to look like that "CDS to hide debt" idea might be backfiring. ...all the Merkels and Obamas and Papandreous and Geithners on this planet will try with all their might to prevent that from happening. And they have virtually limitless access to your money, and that of your children, to do just that. They have exactly zero chance of succeeding, but that won't keep them from trying: their jobs, their social status, perhaps even their very lives depend on it. There's a low thunder rolling across the plains, and it's coming this way. There's nowhere to hide; we’ll have to live through it. It's called debt deflation. Derivative debt deflation. Financial crisis? You ain't seen nothing yet.'

"Democracy is a system of bribery. And the only way a system of bribery of the general population can work – here's something for nothing, here's 'free' schools, here's 'free' health-care, here's 'free' pensions, here's 'free' roads – the only way that this can ever work is through debt. The only way that democracy can remotely appear to function is through debt. Democracy is debt. Democracy is predation on the unborn and the non-voting. It is the lending of the bankers on the future collateral of the unborn that allows for the existing population to be bribed in a democracy. Of course the government is going to do what the bankers want because without the bankers lending them money they can't bribe the population in order to get into power. Democracy is bribery; bribery is borrowing; borrowing is debt. When you have a system that is based on borrowing and debt, the bankers are going to end up in control of the system. The problem is democracy. The problem is the state."

The Daily Bell -- Price Inflation Strikes South America, Too, IMF Warns
march 2011 by adamcrowe
'Even little countries like Panama and Uruguay have banks springing up like palm trees on every corner. The Anglo-American banking establishment doesn't want you to know this, dear reader. Citizens of major Western countries are used to seeing lots of banks in their downtowns. They figure it's because these cities are "major financial centers." Nothing could be further from the truth. The WHOLE WORLD looks like that. It's a bubble. A bank bubble. The world right now is run by central banks and central banks simply will not let their distribution chains contract. Central banks don't need banks for currency distribution. They could just as easily provide currency directly to people's individual accounts. Of course central banks would never do such a thing! It would create "inflation" (price inflation is what they mean). People can't be trusted with "fresh" central bank money. Only banks can. The mercantilist Ponzi scheme needs an ever-increasing base of new demand.' -- I want my corners.

january 2011 by adamcrowe
'The banking industry simply remains cocooned inside the world's biggest bubble. Central banking itself is a bubble though people don't think of it that way, but those who print the money decide which industries expand—and no self-respecting central banker is going to let the central-bank distribution system (commercial banks) deflate. And so the banking business just gets bigger and bigger. There is no reason for such a big banking industry. In fact, banks, at root, are nothing but money-warehouses; during the industrial revolution, funding for businesses often came locally, from extended families and partnerships. But that is not how our modern economy works. Central banks have created a massive, Western banking infrastructure and they use it to fund massive multinational companies – and this results in a kind of Anglosphere brand imperialism. The world may not need Coca-Cola, but the powerful dollar reserve system has made Coke's ubiquitiousness possible.'

The Daily Bell -- Britain Rises Up?
november 2010 by adamcrowe
'...now, in Britain, a further protest has been made. A bill has been introduced to support full-reserve banking. The gentleman who has done the introducing is Douglas Carswell and the idea that such a bill could be introduce in Britain – where many of the most powerful elite families congregate – is absolutely astounding. We are truly living in miraculous times. And yet it is perfectly possible that intellectual war being generated by the Internet has only just begun. The concepts of honest money – mentioned numerous times in the introduction to this bill – have only now begun to percolate once again. All across the West people are beginning to rediscover the intellectual heritage of humankind. The Anglo-American power elite has tended to downplay anything that did not directly enhance or support its goal of world domination, but much is being recovered now. It is from our point of view for the moment an unstoppable tide.' -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMGr-OuXihg

'Since virtually all actions in 2010 by the global central banking cartel have been geared toward stabilizing the European banking system which continues to wobble on the edge of a complete systemic collapse, perhaps the marginal withdrawal of a few billion in deposits could be just the straw that forces a reset first in Europe, and shortly thereafter in the rest of the globalized developed world. ...in just 24 hours 1,500 readers have pledge their support to the action's various Facebook support sites, and another 48,000 are on the waitlist. We hope that more alternative media (the mainstream will unlikely support such a radical venture) catches on, and more Europeans realize they have all to gain and little to lose from forcing the balance of power to shift away from the banks, and into the hands of the people. ...below are the various facebook support pages: Italy, France, Germany, Holland, Great Britain, Greece'

PRAGMATIC CAPITALISM -- UNDERSTANDING MODERN MONETARY SYSTEMS
october 2010 by adamcrowe
'The govt is not a household or a state. It does not finance spending via revenues or debt issuance. The US govt, as a monopoly supplier of currency in a floating exchange rate system simply spends. The USA does not finance spending via the bond markets. The USA issues bonds as a form of controlling the Fed Funds rate. -- #1. We tax in order to create demand for the currency. In addition, it controls aggregate demand or effectively, the money supply #2. The bond market is a monetary tool. NOT a fiscal financing tool. #3. Foreigners do not fund our spending. #4. Money must be created before govt bond auctions can occur and before taxes can be enforced. Otherwise, there is no currency in the system to tax and no money to raise via auctions. This is just basic logic in terms of the way the current system works. It can be no other way. #5. Households, states, Europe and the gold standard are not remotely similar to the modern monetary system in which the Federal govt of the USA functions.'

The Daily Bell -- Who Needs Banks?
september 2010 by adamcrowe
'It is also noteworthy that much of the process of central banking has to do with divining the future (impossible of course). But this is an important part of the ritual. Only seers and prophets can foresee what the future holds, and central bankers especially are granted this gift by those around them. ...the functions of modern banking could be easily performed by individuals – and in Roman times finance was indeed a private affair. Mostly conducted by the wealthy, apparently, it involved promissory notes and other forms of guarantees that obviated the use of specie. In other words, the Roman system was a lot more sophisticated and liquid than it probably seems today. There is really no reason why Citicorp has hundreds of thousands of employees. Or why bank headquarters soar in gleaming splendor in city-centers throughout the West. None of it is probably necessary. It is, in fact, for show, a dramatic charade...'

The Daily Bell -- Bankster(s)
september 2010 by adamcrowe
'Today, banksters (also referred to as the Monetary Elite) are said to run the world through their ability to print money and set into motion various dominant social themes that frighten the world's population into giving up ever more power and wealth to the bankster's chosen global institutions. The goal is said to be one-world domination. Of course, absent mercantilism – the blurring of public and private sectors and privileges – banksters would not have the power they currently have. Absent government power, the free-market itself would sort through the most horrid of these practices in short order. It is precisely because the free-market would make a hash of today's abusive banking, worldwide, that those involved in global banking have turned to government to ensure their monopoly power. Absent, government coercion, even the bankster monopoly would not long survive – nor even its gold manipulation.'

Wikipedia -- Anonymous internet banking
september 2010 by adamcrowe
'Anonymous Internet Banking is the name given to the proposed use of strong financial cryptography to make electronic bank secrecy (or more precisely pseudonymous banking) possible. The bank issues currency in the form of electronic tokens that can be converted on presentation to the bank to some other currency. This concept has a long history in which free banking institutions have issued their own paper currency often backed by a physical commodity.'

'Physical cash is not the actual value, it is only a transfer mechanism. YOU have to trust your government that your physical cash is BACKED with real value. (Whether that is gold, or silver, or “their full faith and credit” or whatever they claim that their currency is backed with.) Digital cash is ALSO NOT actual value, it is ONLY a transfer mechanism. YOU have to trust the issuer of that cash, and the contract he used to issue it, [has backed it] with real value. And that is why Open-Transactions is designed as best possible to distribute risk across multiple issuers (through basket currencies) as well as distributing risk in other ways (across multiple transaction servers, etc). In OT, anyone can issue a currency. But the users still decide what they want to trade and who they want to trust. -- With Bitcoin you can’t choose to issue a currency based on gold, or silver, or based on a basket of dollars, bitcoins, and gold. You are restricted to one backing: computing power.'

The Daily Bell -- Deflation as a Scare Tactic
june 2010 by adamcrowe
Comment: Bruce: 'I doubt any loan nowadays is made with full disclosure that the borrower is also the party who provides the funds which are loaned to him by extension of the borrower's credit to the lending institute. It's time to shut down formalized fraud practices of the Banks/ Bancs. Check Black's Fifth Law Dictionary. Bank/banc is a court, also the bench of authority. The American legal system is based upon investments in (attachments to) the title of the people's right to liberty, thereby subjecting them to Baal/bail. Where a debt is also currency, upon being placed upon the books of a Court (arraigned) the Court/Bank has immediate cash to invest in the stock market. Arraignment is agreement to be placed upon the books of the Court/Bank as a debtor, at which time an account/case is opened in your name.'

"People are going to start obeying [the banksters'] commercial code, because we're going to stick *them* to it. So the system will start running smoothly and there won't be all these people with no 'money' losing their houses because we now know how to 'pay' off the banks by telling them, 'Hey, you stole *my* credit – not the other way round.' Everything was in place for the system to work properly, but what happened was, we got some rogue agents in there who convinced people that everyone has to 'earn' their living and 'pay' their way – and it simply isn't true. These grubby little bankers just simply had a scathingly brilliant idea on how to enslave the people of the planet. -- Will the system implode? Well, they [the international bankers] might not go down nicely, they might fight [start wars] to the bitter end. But once enough of us catch on, they'll have to start behaving themselves and people who are in positions of enforcement are going to catch on they've been duped too."

"Because a regular store clerk wouldn't understand us if we tried to collect goods without paying, what we should be doing is giving them cash AND handing them a copy of certain forms that state who is issuing the credit (you) along with a voucher which authorises payment from your treasury account and includes the store's tax identification number. Once received, the treasury will set off the store's debt for them. And because the tax authorites know the store's debt has been offset for them, they also know the store has this extra cash (yours) which they shouldn't have. That's what a tax return is for: It's for you to claim back that over- 'paid' cash. The purpose of the tax authorities is to track down what we have put into the public and get it back for us. But nobody knows this; everyone has been programmed in school that they have to pay for everything and certain tricksters have realised that our signatures create credit and they've been stealing it from us."

"We're supposed to be working for our fellow man, not in corporations. Yes, the corporations do supply us with goods, but it was *our* value that funded the manufacture because we have birth certificates which the government used to create a bond – backed by *our* future labour and productivity – in order to create the credit to fund the manufacture of whatever it is the corporations sell. We should be able to collect whatever it is we want without paying because – we've already paid for it. What happened was, in the '30s, mothers were obliged to register their babies' births with the gov't thus creating a corporation named after each child and giving each unlimited credit. They were betting that over the child's lifetime they would pay the gov't far more in taxes, fines and applications than they would ever pay the child. Governments did this because they needed each child's value in order to pay off the national debt to the international bankers. The trick was, they didn't tell us."

"We're supposed to be setting off public debt with our signature and using money for private transactions between you and me. Whenever we put our labour in the form of cash (debt notes), we're actually obstructing the bankruptcy; we're doing it wrong. When a store presents you with a bill (which they tend not to do anymore) what we're supposed to be able to do is simply sign for it, thereby claiming it, and giving them access to what's called a 'treasury account' so that we can let the treasury know to offset that store's debt. All we're doing by signing the bill is saying, I'm authorising the treasury to balance your accounts for you, because I now know you have a debt. So for us to pay with our cash, our labour, is actually increasing the debt – it's doubling it, because the amount is the same. When the store gives you a receipt which shows you that you paid with cash – this did not set off their debt, it just increased the problem because we gave them [taxable] debt notes."

They don't have anything to do with us, they are simply the policies of the corporations which appear to be governments, but they're not. Let me use the USG as an example. The United States 'government' is just a slick corporation – a private, foreign, belligerent corporation – which happened to be crafty enough to call itself THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, but it has nothing to do with what we think of the country called the United States of America, nor is it a government, it's simply a corporation. And people actually think they're going to march to the polls and 'elect' a President of this corporation. -- They [the globalists] did away with the common law and they instituted the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) which are 'laws' under which we operate in commerce."

"We are operating in a state of bankruptcy.

So the alleged 'governments' (these countries do not have governments – we have de facto (without lawful authority), not de jure (with lawful authority) governments) said, 'Well, seeing as you can't pay your debts anymore because we've withdrawn all the gold and silver and we're in bankruptcy (but we're not telling you that), we will pay your debts for you.' But although they designed a remedy, they decided not to tell us because it would behoove the banks to control the people of the world, enslaving them by stealing their labour and their lives. So people [still] believed they had to pay for things and they don't. They've programmed us into believing we have to pay for things we need and want. And it simply isn't true."

Compensation which involves the banks is hazardous; we can create for ourselves all that is way bigger and better – love and light, peace and joy, compassion and forgiveness – that which we were meant to Be, Do, and Have.

'SUMMARY #2. The only law in existence today is Contract Law. What you think of as ‘laws’ are only statutes and do not apply to you; they apply only to corporations. If you have no contract with the entity from which you receive a charging instrument, you are not financially liable ... and ... you couldn’t possibly have a contract because corporations cannot lawfully contract. What you signed was a unilateral, and hence, unenforceable contract. All Law is Commerce; All Commerce is Contract; No Contract – No Case. There is not one government agency, department, or ministry in the world that can prove that you must pay what we have all been indoctrinated to believe we are ‘bound by law’ to pay. Do not fall for this incredible deception any longer. Your ticket to financial freedom is to REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE.'

'SUMMARY #1. THE NAME on any ‘charging instrument’, e.g.: traffic tickets, tax bills, statements, loans, lawsuits, debts, etc. is not you. It is the name of a government-created corporation, cleverly disguised, in upper case letters, by the bureaucrats, to cause you to think it is you and, hence, surety for the ‘debt’. Do not blow off this fact. It is to deceive you into believing you are liable for its debts. You are not. By the way, this applies also in reverse: what you think you ‘own’, e.g.: your house, because you think it is in your name, is not in your name, ergo, you do not own it. The Commerce Game was set up by the Global Elite/World Bank to confiscate your funds and property in order to make economic slaves of the entire population of a New World Order under their complete control.'

'Many people still want to remain under the 'protection' of the banks and have been programmed to believe that removing themselves from that is folly when, of course, the opposite is true. The only freedom is getting out from under their control. Initially, we can do this whilst still using their currency. Once we quit falling for their ‘fear for our survival’ programming, we will feel free to exchange only our time and talents with one another and quit using all ‘payment’ systems. Finally, we will feel safe enough and loving enough simply to do what we love to do and find a way to serve our fellows whilst doing so. When we can give our time and talents from knowing that we are all one, only then will our belief in ‘separation’ disappear.'

'None of this has to occur. We have two ways out and I suggest you begin now to implement them. The first is to establish your property as your own and the second which is vastly more important is to practise remembering that none of this matters. What does matter is our peace of mind. We must forgive those for what we think they did to us, including the International Banksters. Those whom we believe to be thugs are really just very frightened because they know the IMF can call in the loan at any time and they are frantically trying to confiscate as much [property] as possible to give them. The longer they can do this, the longer they can stave off the crash, but if we don’t pay them as much as we can, the system will collapse like a house of cards. Be willing to put their minds at rest – sign over as much of your exemption as they ask. Remember, their intent is not to hurt you as much as it is to save their own skins. Have some compassion; remember – its only business.'

'All property will revert back to a belligerent, foreign corporation, the IMF, and where will we be after we all lose our houses and cars? Dare I say detention camps? Where else will we have to go? Properties are being foreclosed by the thousands every day. Do you still believe it is because we “lived beyond our means”? We never had to pay for any of those things we believed we ‘bought’ anyway; they were already ours. Many of us are filing the correct papers to ensure that what we believe we ‘paid for’ does indeed remain ours. This must be done. If you have not actively recorded (rather than registered) your property including your children and grandchildren in your true title/name, you will lose your property and your descendants; it is just a question of time.'

'Think of the game of musical chairs. There simply are not enough chairs ($$$ to pay interest) to go around. Those who are forced to leave the game, as there is not enough money in the economy to pay back all the debt the banks have created by their expansion of credit, and profited from creating it, will lose all they have worked to accrue. It is the banks which will receive the hard asset, representing the fruits of your labour, and you have to start all over, with nothing. Who sets the interest rates in this country? The interest rate, e.g.: 6% is always commensurate with the percentage of those who will go bankrupt. The bankster’s crime of pre-meditated expansion of the debt beyond the amount of money in circulation will create a predetermined number of innocent victims, commensurate to the percentage of interest that the banks charge each year.'

'We must discharge the bankster’s debts for them or they will become more and more desperate. If the debt that the banksters created, using as collateral the properties we are presently using and which we believe belong to us – houses, autos, our bodies, etc. – is not discharged, and only we have the lawful right, means, and energy to do this, we will find ourselves without the use of said property because we have neglected to claim it as such. The name of their game is to confiscate as much of our property as possible. The feds become more frantic as each day passes as the IMF tightens the screws on them. The fact that interest rates are at an all-time low ought to give one pause. Think about it: low interest rates are prompting us to buy property. When we are all ‘indebted’ they will hike property taxes and get all ‘their’ property back.'

'What do banks do with this credit which we created with our signing of promises to pay? They lend it. Banks are not permitted to lend their money or their assets; they are allowed to lend only credit – credit which WE created. So, it is only liability which is being spread around with the added liability of interest (tax) attached to it each time it is used to ‘pay’ someone. Banks now charge a service fee for any and all transactions and most recipients still declare the liability as, and pay tax on, the income. The value of the note is thus diminished each time. Hence, we have inflation. When I ostensibly ‘pay’ you $50 for a service you provided me, since I am paying you with funds which were borrowed into existence, and now have interest attached to it, how can it ever get paid? From whence comes the interest to pay when the interest has yet to be borrowed into existence? Every transaction gets us further into a debt which does NOT exist. The only way for us to win is not to play.'

'The solution to the problem of ‘not enough money’ is to learn that there is no money. Remembering that cause and effect are always reversed from what our egos believe, the idea is to get rid of our alleged money. I know this sounds anathema to most people but if $$$ represents debt, why would we want it? Anything we think we are ‘buying’ with it doesn’t belong to us because how can we own anything for which we did not give value. Those of you who are proud of yourselves that you have worked hard all your lives and can now admit to living in a house that is ‘paid off’ and driving a car which is ‘paid for’, and have enough $$$ for retirement due to wise investing, are in for a big surprise. All you have done during those years of labour and slick investing is moved from steerage up to first class on the Titanic. The system is about to collapse. Having more of ‘nothing’ than everyone else still leaves you with ... nothing. The only way to win the Commerce Game is not to play.'

'Most people in the world are wholly dependent upon ‘The System’ and cannot function without it. This system forces them to live in a debt cycle which never ends. The biggest con game the world has ever known was perpetrated by those who control education, law, media, churches, banks, medicine. They played upon our innate belief that we must earn our right to life, that we are unworthy, not to trust our intuition, that we must depend upon the authorities, that any punishment we sustain is justified and deserved, that we have no self-generated power. They have confiscated our health, wealth, love, and peace of mind under this ruse. This scam is known as The Matrix. -- How could we ever have fallen for this nonsense? Someone on this planet had the most brilliant, scathing idea in the history of mankind – to appeal to our egotistical belief that we are all guilty and deserve punishment, that we are something other than who we truly are ... and capitalized upon it.'

'The amount of credit the feds earned from investing in securities the credit borrowed from us via the registration of our births has pre-paid anything you might ever want or need. We are the creditors, and the federal mafia is the debtor. They owe us interest for using our credit, yet, since they ('the Public') are bankrupt, there is no ‘substance money’ so we, as creditors, will have to get paid by taking equity, in the form of our houses and cars, as the ‘set-off’ – the balancing of the account. They owe us interest on our credit which they are using to pay for the manufacturing of all the goods and services we are buying. We have already paid for the product before we buy it. We are still the principals of the securities because said investment was never disclosed to us. The feds are hoping we won’t request the profits of our investments, however, if and when we do, it is substantial enough that we would never have to work again. We could never spend it all.'

'There is NO American Government and hasn’t been in scores of years. To what they refer is USG, the belligerent, foreign corporation masquerading as ‘the American Government’. It has named itself The Government of the United States of America for the sole purpose of conning the American people into believing that it represents them and that it is their government. The USG, a private, fictitious, for-profit corporation, has no more to do with the American people or the American territory than does SEARS, another private, fictitious, for-profit corporation. No one alive today has experienced a representative government – which brings us to another point: why would anyone vote in a foreign election for a foreign corporation? There is no one for whom to vote who could possibly represent us.'

'#Crime: Impeding commerce, via Breach of Contract, is the only crime. #National Debt: The interest on fraudulent bonds also has to be created by more borrowing. The money supply has to be constantly expanded because the interest has to be paid. Interest on the bonds (national debt) is paid before any other gov’t expense. If not, the entire system will collapse. The debt can’t be reduced because when funds are paid to reduce the debt (buy back the bonds and retire them) the money disappears from circulation since it returns to from whence it came – nowhere. When there is no money, there is depression; the standard of living drops which is why there is no middle class any longer. This is why the debt must be ‘discharged’ as opposed to being ‘paid’, because it CAN NOT BE PAID. #Remedy: Since we are operating in commerce we can not own property by paying for it; we cannot pay our debts at law, we can only discharge our debts in equity.'

'The basis of 99% of all legal actions is derived from a ‘person’ (strawman) being sued, or accused of having entered into and breached a commercial contract, or being presumed to have entered into and breached a commercial contract. If the contract does not meet the four legal requirements, it is void. In order to live free we must remain eternally vigilant of these invisible contracts and avoid the presumption of their existence. The most significant presumptions are: 1. that you are a resident; 2. that you depend upon the government for benefits; 3. that you are not responsible for your behaviour; and 4. that you need protection – an attorney, a financial advisor, a doctor, a fiat currency, etc. All are based upon the presumption that certificates of ‘birth’/ ‘title’, etc., in commercial law, waive our right to take responsibility for our own affairs, our bodies, our life, our liberty, and our property, if we don’t object to or arrange our affairs otherwise.'

'At common law, these eight elements are essential to the creation of a contract: offer, acceptance, intention, sufficient and equal consideration, mental and lawful capacity to contract, legality of purpose, genuine consent (knowingly, willingly, and voluntarily), certainty of terms and conditions. You are usually tricked into contracting. I heard of a woman who was charged with writing ‘bad cheques’ and prior to sentencing was asked by the judge if she had anything to say. This is called, ‘allocution’ and is the time for the ‘defendant’ to say what’s so. Unfortunately, most defendants fail to take advantage of this opportunity to set the record straight. She, however, told the judge, “With all due respect, I do not accept your sentence.” The judge's final words, to the dismay of the attorneys, were, “I hereby dismiss this case and all charges are dropped.” He couldn’t do anything without her agreement. This is the power of contracts.'

'Never go to court. If you find yourself in court it is because you have relinquished your sovereignty or you wouldn’t be there. All lawyers are members of the BAR (British Accreditation Registry) and controlled by the Lawyer's Guild of Great Britain. They created, formed, and implemented the new bankruptcy law and are sworn to uphold the bankruptcy/collect revenue for the Crown. We can never know the true ‘nature and cause of the accusation’ because it is the collection of interest on the bankruptcy. We are denied our right to challenge the creditor/banker because if we could ‘face our accuser’ we could ask about our indebtedness and this would blow their cover. They would have to provide us with the contract proving we knowingly, willingly, and voluntarily, agreed to pay the corporate public debt which, of course, we did not do. We have moved from real law to statutes made up by the attorneys for the sole purpose of collecting revenue and property.'

'What is the job of policemen these days? It is not “to serve and protect”, unless this refers to ‘serve the World Banksters’. Their sole purpose is to collect revenue for the interest on the debt due to the bankruptcy. This is why there are so many idiotic statutes which are a result of Admiralty Law which simply do not apply to living souls; they apply to corporate entities. Laws cannot do anything but protect the life, liberty, property, and rights of a living soul. Laws are to serve us; we are not here to serve laws. “if your laws don’t protect me, your laws do not apply to me.” So, yes, we are above the ‘law’ (when the word ‘law’ refers to ‘statutes’). Statutes have replaced the true ONE LAW. Where before, we could be found guilty for actively breaking the only law there was we can now be found guilty for doing ‘nothing’ – meaning neglecting to perform precisely as the statute dictates. Since there are so many, this will occur automatically just in the affairs of daily life.'

'Your ‘income tax’ does NOT go to operate the Federal Government. You make out [a cheque to the government but it] goes to The Governor-Secretary of the Treasury of the IMF, Inc. of the United Nations. Those who pay taxes on ‘income’ are giving away hard-earned ‘money’ to the United Nations, a world wide Communist organization, the intent of which is [Oligarchical] Collectivism. Tax funds do NOT run the gov’t or any of its alleged programs; the IMF runs the gov’t; your $$$ is inconsequential to gov’t operation. Taxing is simply the means to confiscate your personal power. No sovereign can be taxed; only corporate entities can be taxed and only by the agreement of the principal/surety – you – if indeed you agreed to it. Why might you voluntarily, willingly, and knowingly do that? You wouldn’t. You’ve been tricked into it.'

'People complain about paying taxes yet they defend [the taxation/interest system]. This conflict of emotions is tantamount to the Stockholm Syndrome: Captives begin to identify with their captors initially as a defense mechanism out of fear of violence. Small acts of kindness (read: ‘government benefits’) by the captor are magnified, since finding perspective in a hostage situation is, by definition, impossible. Rescue attempts (by those of us who intend for the sheeple to WAKE UP!) are also regarded as threat since it is likely the captive would be injured during such attempts. Those who pay taxes are aggravating the problem; they believe they have no choice – they have been held hostage. Whether they pay the tax or not is not important in the grand scheme. What IS important is what is going on in their minds, which happens to be fear. There is no freedom, no aliveness, where there is fear. People actually lie awake at night in fear of how they are going to pay their ‘taxes’.'

'The Common Law which applies to all living souls is: We are free to do what we please, as long as we do infringe on the life, liberty, property, or rights of another. It does not allow for any government to prosecute or fine us for victimless crimes. Statute laws have arisen for this purpose, but their power is limited by common sense and by the resolve of those who would stand up for their natural rights. One can be fined only if he has signed and breached a contract. Under common law, however, a contract must be entered into knowingly, voluntarily, and intentionally or it is unenforceable. Remember that one of the requirements of a contract is full disclosure. Government departments are aware of this and circumvent it by intimidating us into signing agreements that are meant to void common law rights. This one law which takes all real crime into account has now been replaced by commercial statutes all of which compel one to do something. Laws can’t compel; they can only protect.'

This is your SSN/SIN/Social Security Number. Notice your name isn’t on that card. The corporation name is in upper case letters. They have legal title, we have only equitable title – we are allowed only the use of our bodies, finances, property, all of which are owned by the gov’t, yet the privilege of our ‘using’ them demands a ‘use tax’.'

'If I borrow something from you and hand you collateral to guarantee you get back what you lent me, then upon return of said loan, you will hand me back the collateral. Usually with a personal loan it would be something of substance. In the case of the banks, however, your collateral is your signature and if you fail to ‘repay’ the loan of credit they will come after you, but for what? Remember that debt exists only on paper; therefore, it can be discharged only with other pieces of paper; it can not be ‘paid’ because there exists nothing with which to pay. Your promissory note IS the collateral and if you ‘repay’ the loan with the proceeds of your labour and then request the return of your collateral, the promissory note, they might indeed return the original note to you but not before having lent the alleged asset – the funds – several times for at least 90% of the amount which you authorized by your signature.'

'When we ‘borrow money’ from a bank our signature upon a ‘promise to pay’ is not only what gets us the loan but also what immediately repays the loan. Whenever someone takes a ‘loan’ from a financial institution, the signed promissory note is ‘deposited’ to the bank's credit. The bank then issues a cheque to the borrower. The bank’s books are now balanced. When the bank deposited the signed note to the asset side of its ledger the bank is indebted to the borrower. In other words, the borrower actually originates the credit so he winds up paying back, with interest, what he originally lent but the bank doesn’t repay the ‘credit’ which the borrower issued. In fact, if there is collateral involved, the bank stands to confiscate this property if the ‘borrower’/creator of the credit does not pay back over three times the amount of his own creation. The entity which is entitled to the pay-back of ‘borrowed’ funds is always the ‘principal’ and that is you – the creator of the funds.'

'Since we use debt notes to ‘purchase’, which denotes having only equitable title (‘buy’ denotes having legal title) then all we’re doing is passing along the debt and increasing the interest with each transaction (presuming those in receipt of said debt note are declaring it as ‘income’ and hence feel obliged to pay tax (interest on govt debt) on it.) This is precisely the agenda of the banksters. This is the classic “the rich get richer and the poor get poorer”. It is they who get the taxes and it is we who get the notes which we are trying to spend before they become completely devalued. Powerful bankers essentially bribed the politicians in almost every country of the world into giving up their Constitutionally-protected right to print notes for the Treasury. What we think of as ‘money’ does not exist; it is borrowed into existence. It is not a substance, or a commodity, or anything which simply exists, for example, as water exists. It does not exist until someone creates a debt.'

'In order to get one's liberty and independence back, one must first secure the title and ownership of the Strawman. Once one controls the Strawman, then one controls the rights of the property that the Strawman acquires. For one to regain title to his body the Birth Certificate must be secured. After we have redeemed it and filed public notice via a financing statement, then we have the right of property ownership through our Strawman whom we now control. The bond created and sold in the market place for the Strawman now becomes our property. Now, no statutes, codes, rules, regulations apply to us; they apply only to the Strawman of whom we now have control. So the feds have no jurisdiction over us, as they have not our consent, nor are we within their fictional, commercial venue.

The bank gave us a deposit slip as a receipt for the money we gave them, just as the bank would normally provide when we make a deposit to the bank. It then created an account at the bank which would contain this $$$ which we just created. A check on this account was issued with our signature and this account is the source of funds behind the cheque which we received as a ‘loan’. The bank risked none of its own assets in the so-called ‘loan’ to us; rather it used our note to pay the seller, in order to raise an asset for itself, and also used the face value of our note as ‘principal’ which it claims it ‘lent’ us and against which it charged interest. ...the entire transaction/contract is fraudulent.'

'The UCC (Uniform Commercial Code) is the rules of the game and any entity within that game is ‘corporate’, since no living soul can play this game, only Strawmen. Therefore, the Income Tax Act, being part of the Commerce Game, applies only to fictitious entities as they are the only entities who can play. Because the name of the game is confiscation of funds, they hold us, who want only to live life as freely as possible and ‘not infringe upon the rights of another’, as surety for our Strawman’s alleged debt. But Public Policy tells us that as there is no substance with which to ‘pay’ a debt, then all debt must be ‘discharged’. How can we ‘pay’ a debt when there is nothing with which to ‘pay’. We can’t; so all we can do is discharge it. Since there is no money, then the only thing left is credit, so we must ‘pay’ a debt with credit. How is credit created? VIA OUR SIGNATURE. Every time we sign our name to any promissory note, we have created credit.'

'The property which you think you own (and this includes your body) already belongs to the IMF and soon they will make this known by asking for proof of title which you cannot evidence. Birth Certificates are only evidence that the Title of Origin (legal title) rests elsewhere. You do NOT have legal title to your body, unless you have claimed it. This is why you are not permitted to put particular substances into it. When the feds become desperate enough they will come for all your property, including your body. They will demand all collateral ‘now’. Its nothing personal; its just business. Don’t let them kid you about why they want you to wear your seatbelt. It has nothing to do with saving your life – it has to do with protecting the potential revenue/tax which you will earn/pay over your lifetime... Don’t kill the goose which lays the golden egg. I’m not making this up. So, are we clear on government racketeering?'

'How do you want to ‘pay’ for goods which are already yours? Via working forty hours a week? Or via your signature, thereby giving them your tax exemption? It's important that we see the fraudulent banking system as rather outside of normal reality; sort of a middle-man. [Your] signature is what creates the amount of funds mentioned on the cheque [because you have unlimited credit]. Since these funds are debt funds we just created more debt. Actually, we created the credit against which the entity, which handed you the cheque, will create a matching debt – yet, essentially, we are responsible for the creation of this alleged ‘debt’ because, since there is interest on debt funds, we climbed deeper into an inescapable chasm. The bank hands us other pieces of paper which we take out into the market place. Although you believe you bought goods with these debt notes you can’t possibly own these goods because you gave nothing of substance in exchange. All you did was double the debt.'

'[Because centrally-bankrupted countries have been 'bailed out' for interest] we cannot pay for anything; there is nothing with which to pay. It is all just book-keeping entries. Who owes what to anyone? When you purchase something from a shop and then return it, why are they so intent on getting back your receipt? No, not to prove you paid for it, because you can’t pay for anything. This receipt is the evidence of exchange. The goods don’t matter, any more than the principal on a ‘loan’ matters. All they want is the interest. They MUST pay the IMF the interest on the loan. Do you ever question your bills (which are not true bills in commerce but rather ‘statements of account’) – not the ‘amount due’, but the concept? What if you found out that everything you ever needed or wanted was already paid for – that you didn’t owe anyone anything? Our bills are already paid. Why is the telephone company sending us a statement (not an invoice) with an ‘amount owing’ on it? We paid up front.'

'Think of the board game Monopoly®™ where you pick up a ‘Chance’ card which reads, “Pay School Tax $150”, so you hand over the $$$ to the ‘banker’. (I think the Parker boys were trying to tell us something.) When the government charges the Strawman a tax we, the ostensible ‘players’, are held as ‘surety’ for our token/Strawman and ‘required to pay’ even though the charge is not directed towards us. It is directed towards our token (the top hat, race car, old shoe). We are paying for the token because our token isn’t real and so it can’t do anything. We are the energy for the token/Strawman. Since the ‘money’ is not real, there could be no real loss to us as natural beings except that this seems to be all there is. We used to be able to live real life with real money. Now we are playing a game with Monopoly money. We have been prevented from living real life; we are caught in a game. This did not come about by our conscious agreement.'

'We have been deceived into thinking that we were lent other depositor’s deposited funds. Banksters cause us to think that if we do not pay back those funds, the bank and its depositors will be out the cash. Remember, all you 'borrowed' was what your signature created. You lent yourself the funds. Why are you paying back anyone? Ask a banker about this, as I did, and watch him stop breathing. If a counterfeiter counterfeits $$$ and lends it to us, do we have any moral or legal obligation to repay the loan? NO! The law says counterfeiting is illegal and that we do not have to repay the counterfeiter. But the banksters are careful. The bank’s own published manual claims, “Money does not have to be issued by the government or be in any special form. Money is anything that can be sold for cash and which the banks accept as money”. Aren’t they a riot? We are entrenched in a game of commerce about which we have been kept in the dark for the purpose of our slavery.'

'The more ‘money’ we have, the more debt we have. “Get out of debt” means to discharge the debt and quit accumulating debt notes. It also means to put those things which you have slave-laboured to acquire, into Your Name. He who dies with the most cash LOSES. Cash represents your labour and the amount of cash you have in your possession represents the worthlessness of your labour. How can we repay more than exists? Only our labour can begin to do this, so the banksters capture our labour in the form of taxes. They give us some of the proceeds of our labour for the purpose of keeping us in the dark about their scheme, yet take a huge amount in order to cover the interest on the loan which *we lent them*. EVERY tax we pay goes to ‘pay’ the interest on this loan that *we lent them* (or is kept by the politicians to enrich themselves). No, you are not paying to keep your country functioning. You are paying to make rich the politicians who have tricked you into believing their scam.'

"You find BANKS on both sides of the river. And what does a river BANK do? It directs the flow of the CURRENT-SEA (currency:current:energy:money). Maritime admiralty banking 'law' says all ships are female because they are 'carrying' items for commerce. All ships have a captain (from CAPITAL, latin: capitālis: "heads of cattle"), the captain represents the money aboard the ship (a board of direct-ors). A captain has to present to the authorities a CERTIFICATE of manifest for each and every item whilst the ship sits in its berth (she sits in her BIRTH). When you were born, your mother's waters broke and you came out, and this is why you have to have a BIRTH CERTIFICATE, because you are a maritime admiralty product. Your mother 'delivered' you and that's why you were in a 'delivery room'. Your mother was delivering a product. You came down your mother's BIRTH canal. You were delivered by a DOCK-tor. -- All law, religions, and governments operate under maritime admiralty banking 'law'."

Washington Post -- Credit unions launch a savings lottery, and everyone hits the jackpot
april 2010 by adamcrowe
Just like UK National Savings 'Premium Bonds', but localised. -- 'To redirect that money, the credit unions explored how they could blend the excitement of the lottery with the certainty of socking away cash. After all, both are about pursuing aspirations. (One is just a much more fun way to do it.) The credit unions declared that for every $25 someone saved, the saver would earn an entry into a drawing for a $100,000 prize one year later. At the same time, they gave out monthly prizes of up to $100. ...people could join a credit union and open an account to bid for the prize at the same time. Save to Win produced stunning results. More than 11,000 Michigan residents opened accounts through the contest, saving $8.6 million throughout 2009. People can open the accounts with as little as $25. They need to keep their money in for at least a year and can make deposits as small as $1 as often as they like.'

zero hedge -- Gary Gorton On The Shadow Banking System
march 2010 by adamcrowe
'..."banks opened up their books to each other, and hated what they saw." The only backstop to this risk - the Federal Reserve. It is no secret that the entire investment community now realizes that the Fed's experiment is doomed. The US is no longer a viable going concern: when the CBO notifies the public that the debt/GDP in a decade will be 90% and that total marketable debt will double to $20 trillion, the game is over. What we know is that we now have a t-10 years timer before the US economy is certainly finished. But the real question is when the defections against Bernanke et al will begin in earnest. ...should shadow banking disappear, the tranche above it (or below it by seniority) would disappear as well. And with 90%+ of global liquidity gone, and no additional source of "credit" money to fill the Fed's infinite demand for monetary supply, asset prices will explode (forget about gold - one apple will be $6,000 an ounce).' -- PDF: Q and A on the Crisis.

zero hedge -- The Fed - Just One Giant Money Counterfeiter
february 2010 by adamcrowe
'...the Fed (a) suppresses the interest rate on Treasury debt and (b) refunds virtually all of the interest payments on Treasury debt held by the Fed. And remember, the way the Fed does this is through creating new dollars out of thin air, in order to buy the Treasury debt from the original investors [primary dealers ie., FRB banks] who lent [lent??] money to the Treasury. Therefore the Fed is clearly giving aid to the US government's deficit spending at the expense of everyone holding assets denominated in US dollars. When the Treasury securities held by the Fed mature — so that the Treasury has to pay back the face value in principal — the Fed rolls over the debt. Over time, the nominal market value of the Fed's holdings of Treasury debt continually grows. Barring a sudden reversal in this policy, the Treasury knows that it will never have to pay off this debt. The ultimate constraint on the Fed's operations is investor and citizen backlash in response to rising prices.'

'People all over the country are choosing to move their money out of bigger banks and into smaller, community-oriented financial institutions that generally avoided the reckless investments and schemes that helped cause the financial crisis. Fueled by the personal initiatives of thousands, it’s a grassroots effort that has the potential to shift power in the financial system away from Wall Street and to Main Street.'

The Observer -- Drug money saved banks in global crisis, claims UN advisor
december 2009 by adamcrowe
'Antonio Maria Costa, head of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, said he has seen evidence that the proceeds of organised crime were "the only liquid investment capital" available to some banks on the brink of collapse last year. He said that a majority of the $352bn (£216bn) of drugs profits was absorbed into the economic system as a result. "In many instances, the money from drugs was the only liquid investment capital. In the second half of 2008, liquidity was the banking system's main problem and hence liquid capital became an important factor," he said. Some of the evidence put before his office indicated that gang money was used to save some banks from collapse when lending seized up, he said.'

The Economist -- Iraq's mobile-phone revolution: Better than freedom?
december 2009 by adamcrowe
'Reluctant to risk their lives by visiting a bank, many subscribers transferred money to each other by passing on the serial numbers of scratch cards charged with credit, like gift vouchers. Recipients simply add the credit to their account or sell it on to shops that sell the numbers at a slight discount from the original. This impromptu market has turned mobile-phone credit into a quasi-currency, undermining the traditional informal hawala banking system. -- Criminal rings are among the parallel currency’s busiest users. Kidnap gangs ask for ransom to be paid by text messages listing a hundred or more numbers of high-value phone cards. Prostitutes get regular customers to send monthly retainers to their phones, earning them the nickname “scratch-card concubines”, while corrupt government officials ask citizens for $50 in phone credit to perform minor tasks.'

Umair Haque / Bubblegeneration -- Are Banks Terrorists?
november 2009 by adamcrowe
'The logic of terrorism is simple. To intimidate a state into action or inaction. If you don't give us what we want, we'll blow something up. Do it - or else. Exactly the same logic has been at work throughout the financial crisis. The state has been terrorized into action - and inaction. Too big to fail is a weapon of economic intimidation - just like a bomb threat. If you don’t give us a bailout, the financial system will fail. If you disclose it, the financial system will fail. You have no option but to give us exactly what we want - cash, now, on our terms. The goal of terrorism is this. To coerce a state into fundamentally betraying it's foundational principles - thus, creating a contradiction within the system itself, causing citizens to lose confidence in their own basic institutions. And by that logic, banks won. Not only did they get trillions in bailouts, now, it turns out, they got secret bailouts.' -- Quelle surprise

Voigt-Kampff empathy tests for psychopathic bankers?? -- 'Candidates would have to demonstrate the required integrity, Mr Sants said, adding that many bankers still did not accept collective responsibility for the financial crisis. “I personally remain unconvinced that all senior management have taken on board the need to change and operate in a genuinely different manner,” he said in a speech in the City. There now needed to be a genuine cultural and behavioural change within the financial industry, with senior executives setting the tone. “I thus strongly believe that our authorisation regime should seek to make a determination of an executive’s ability to set a strong ethical framework and to foster the right culture.”'
