Lawfully Minted U.S. Silver Coins
![[us_dollar_vs._federal_reserve_note]](/imgs/coins/landscape/us_dollar_vs._federal_reserve_note-rveygrenfik.jpg)
Pre-1965 U.S. 0.900 fine silver coins were used as money until the
mid-1960s, when
"the U.S."
diverged from lawful mandate
and began
counterfieting coins from base metals.
U.S. dimes, quarters, half-dollars and dollars dated prior to 1965
were minted of 90% silver + 10% copper.
Large quantities in circulated condition are readily available.
Common-date uncirculated coins are available but carry premiums over
circulated coins.
Numismatists (coin collectors) sometimes call circulated coins
"junk coins" because they have no collector value.
Although, in emergency,
one could sell or trade one's silver coins at face value,
(and in fact
they lawfully define
the value of a "U.S. Dollar"),
the market now dominated and denominated in extremely devalued
(inflated)
Federal Reserve Notes
is so diluted that it takes anywhere from 15 to 60 Federal Reserve Notes
to purchase an ounce of silver (Ag), e.g. a
lawful pre-1965 U.S. 0.900 fine Silver Dollar, even in
well-circulated condition.
![[silver.half_dollars]](/imgs/coins/landscape/silver.half_dollars.jpg)
- Half-dollars dated 1948-1964 contain full 90% silver as do other
denomination pre-1965 silver coins.
- Half-dollars dated 1965-1970 contain only 40% silver and are traded
as 40% clad half-dollars.
- Half-dollars dated 1971-date are made of copper-nickel and do
not contain any silver.
![[silver.mixed_denominations]](/imgs/coins/landscape/silver.mixed_denominations.jpg)
The following common circulating denominations contained silver up
through 1964.
All were struck in an alloy of 90% silver and 10% copper,
so multiply the weights by 0.90 to get the content of pure silver.
- Dimes - _2.50 gm.
- Quarters - _6.25 gm.
- Half dollars - 12.50 gm.
- Dollars (up to 1935) - 26.70 gm.
American Silver Eagles minted since 1986 contain one ounce of
.999 fine silver.
- Nickels don't contain any silver unless
they're
the special "war nickels" made during 1942-1945 when
nickel metal was needed for the war effort.
- 1943 cents were minted from zinc-coated steel because copper was
also a strategic metal.
- Obsolete denominations that also contained silver were some 3cent
pieces, half-dimes, and 20cent pieces.
Because U.S. Mints originally shipped 90% coins in $1,000 face value
bags,
today "a bag" refers to $1,000 in face value.
A bag of dimes contains 10,000 coins;
a bag of quarters 4,000 coins;and
a bag of half-dollars 2,000 coins.
However, pre-1965 U.S. coins are often sold in quantities smaller than
$1,000 face value,
e.g. they may be sold by weight, as e.g. a 1 Troy Pound bag of
mixed coins,
as is illustrated by the image to the right on this webpage.
![[silver melt]](/imgs/coins/landscape/silver_melt.png)
When calculating the floor price, (e.g. measured in
FRNs), of "bulk silver",
the coins are treated as raw metal, and valued only for the silver in
them,
ignoring any base metals the silver is mixed with, or which the silver
clads.
The value of lawfully minted coins is always higher than
the bulk silver price for the reason that they are in convenient sizes
for use in barter,
(versus the
100 Oz. or 1000 Oz. Silver Bullion Bars
which themselves carry a premium over the bulk silver rate),
and are globally the most widely recognized form of silver which can be
authenticated upon sight.
This is true of even the most worn circulated coins, as long as the
date can still be read.
If they are either lightly circulated or uncirculated, they will have
correspondingly higher
numismatic values.
When minted, a $1,000 face value bag contained 723.4
Troy ounces of silver.
Due to wear, however, a bag of circulated coins yields
approximately 715 Troy ounces Ag. when refined;
therefore, to calculate an accurate bulk silver "price" per
Troy ounce, divide the cost by 715.
A $1,000 face value bag weighs a little under 55
Avoirdupois pounds (of 16 Avoirdupois Oz.) on an English/American
bathroom scale.
Note that a Troy pound is 12 Troy ounces.
Silver Coins Details
Dimes
- Roosevelt Type 1946-1964
[ 
]
- Mercury Type 1916-1945
[ 
]
- Barber Type 1892-1916
[ 
]
Typically,
a bag of 90% silver dimes consists mostly of Roosevelt dimes,
with Mercury dimes making up the rest.
Invariably, Mercury dimes
(sometimes called Winged Head)
show more wear than Roosevelt dimes
due to the longer time they functioned as money.
A bag of all Mercury dimes sells at a premium over a bag of circulated
dimes.
Occasionally, a bag of dimes yields a few
Barber coins. Rarely do the older
Draped Bust (1796-1807),
Capped Bust (1809-1837), or
Seated Liberty (1837-1891) designs appear in circulated bags.
Quarters
- Washington Type 1932-1964
[ 
]
- Standing Liberty 1916-1930
[ 
]
- Barber or Liberty Head 1892-1916
[
]
- Barber or Liberty Head 1892-1916
[
]
Bags of quarters contain mostly
Washington type coins with a few
Standing Liberty types and still fewer
Barber types.
Invariably,
Standing Liberty and
Barber coins will be quite worn,
but sometimes a bag will contain a few of these older coins with
readable dates.
Rarely will a bag yield any
Seated Liberty coins (1838-1891).
Half-Dollars
- Kennedy Type 1964
[ 
]
- Franklin Type 1948-1963
[ 
]
- Walking Liberty 1916-1947
[ 
]
- Barber or Liberty Head 1892-1915
[
] .png
A bag of pre-1965 half-dollars normally contains equal amounts of
Kennedy and
Franklin types, with a smattering of
Walking Liberty coins, and maybe a few
Barber halves.
Promotions, however, can cause one coin to rise in price relative to
the other types.
As with dimes and quarters, occasionally a
Barber-designed half dollar will show up in a bag.
Rarely will a bag contain the older
Seated Liberty types (1839-1891).
Typically, half-dollars sell at higher prices than dimes and quarters.
Orders for bags of all one type will boost the price still higher.
Half-dollars carry a premium over dimes and quarters because fewer were
minted and they are popular promotional pieces.
Except for the
Walking Liberty coins, half-dollars show less wear than do dimes and
quarters.
Although a $1,000 face bag is a standard unit for circulated coins,
smaller quantities, such as
half bags ($500 face value),
quarter bags ($250 face),
and 1/10th bags ($100 face),
are commonly sold.
Because of their small sizes,
circulated 90% coins offer convenience in selling;
they can be liquidated as
full bags, as
fractional bags, or
a few coins at a time.
Additionally, pre-1965 coins were minted to serve as a circulating
medium,
a job they did very well until the 1960s.
For those investors who fear the dangers of our present fiat paper
money,
pre-1965 coins make an appropriate investment for these coins could
again function as money.
U.S. Silver Dollars-Minted 1878-1904 and 1921-1935
U.S. silver dollars are the most widely collected coins in the world.
Additionally, thousands of people who do not consider themselves coin
collectors
have invested in bags of silver dollars,
and countless millions more have small quantities of silver dollars
stuck away in drawers and Mason jars.
Nicknamed cartwheels,
silver dollars carry two designs.
The ones minted 1878-1904 and in 1921 are called
Morgans, after George T. Morgan who designed them.
Peace dollars, struck 1921-1935, were so named to commemorate the end
of World War I.
Silver dollars fall into three groups:
- Pre-1921 Morgan 1878-1904
[ 
]
- 1921 Morgan
[ 
]
- Peace Silver Dollar 1921-1935
[ 
]
Like dimes, quarters, and half-dollars,
silver dollars were minted of an alloy of 90% silver and 10% copper
with each coin containing a net silver content of .77344 ounce;
therefore,
1,000 coins contained 773.44 ounces of silver when minted.
By contrast, $1,000 face value of pre-1965 U.S. silver dimes, quarters,
or half-dollars
contained 723.4 ounces of silver, a difference of fifty ounces.
Because of their rarity,
pre-21 Morgans command higher prices than either the '21 Morgans or the
Peace coins.
Although quantities of both '21 Morgans and Peace dollars are readily
available,
the '21 Morgans sell at slightly higher prices than Peace Dollars of
comparable grades.
The premium '21 Morgans carries over Peace dollars will probably
increase further due to the popularity of the Morgan design.
Silver dollars carry big premiums over the value of their silver
content.
The pre-'21 Morgans carry larger premiums than the '21 Morgans and the
Peace dollars.
Obviously, better grade coins have the biggest premiums.
![[Silver Eagle]](/imgs/coins/landscape/270780_1_1_4.jpg)
One-ounce Silver Eagles were introduced in 1986.
They are minted of .999 fine silver and carry a symbolic $1 face value,
"officially" making them "Silver Dollars".
However, in the precious metals industry, the term "Silver
Dollar"
denotes either the
Morgan silver dollar or the
Peace type silver dollar.
Silver Eagles are dated and come in tubes of twenty coins, twenty-five
tubes to a box.
Backdated Silver Eagles (earlier year coins) usually sell at lower
premiums than current year Silver Eagles.

NOTE:
a DOLLAR is described in the 1792 US Coinage Acts
as 371.25 grains of fine silver, or the equivalent of Gold.

American States and Nations (Trading) Bank -- Part One
by Anna von Reitz
Posted: 2016-11-02 19:56:46 UTC
The question has come at me from multiple sides for many weeks now -
sometimes softly, and sometimes loudly, but the same question voiced in
many different ways and even languages: "Our world is in trouble,
because of crooks
infesting and controlling the monetary system -
what do we do about it?"
Before i can deliver my answer, i have to cover some basics.
First - Money versus Legal Tender
The world has used many forms of money,
but central to the definition of "money", it has to have
actual value as well as any symbolic value we attach to it.
For example, the United States Silver Dollar
(that is, our "United States", not
THEIR look-alike sound-alike version) is defined as a weight of
fine
silver.
That is the actual "value" of it -
the weight and the purity of silver.
In addition, because people around the world trust Americans
(not citizens of the United States) to deliver the actual weight of
silver in the specified purity, the United States Silver Dollar has
also
acquired a certain amount of "non-tangible value".
Given a choice between our United States Silver Dollars
and coin from other places,
many people would still rather choose our coinage because it is known
to
be a quality product.
That is what lawful money is - an actual
specifically defined unitary measure of an asset (an ounce of fine
silver for example) with a brand name (United States Silver Dollar, for
example).
Money is a commodity like any other.
Our actual money, our real coinage,
has to be issued by our land jurisdiction government
because it is an actual asset,
as opposed to being a legal fiction asset.
Lawful money is always a land asset and can only be issued by an
actual land jurisdiction government -
not a
corpse-oration.
That is, the
body having authority to issue our actual money is the Continental
Congress which is an unincorporated body politic composed of sworn
Fiduciary Deputies from every state participating.
The United States Congress represents our states
in some strictly delegated arenas of international jurisdiction -
and it only controls "commerce" - not "trade".
Commerce is business conducted between incorporated entities -
think GM, the Public Broadcasting System, and SEARS.
Trade is conducted between living people and unincorporated businesses -
think me and you and the Mom and Pop Grocery Store and Brady and Sons,
Lumber Company.
The United States Congress as it is presently composed
can only issue legal tender, that is, "commercial
instruments" -
such as bonds and letters of credit, as a result of
its failure to operate with full commercial liability and
its members' failure to act as sworn Fiduciary Deputies of their states.
From the beginning the members of Congress were enabled to operate in
two roles -
on the land as Fiduciary Deputies of their home states, and
on the sea as Representatives of their home states overseeing the
functions in international jurisdiction delegated to the federal
government.
Over time they ceased to operate as Fiduciary Deputies
(See the 19th Amendment to their "Constitution of the United
States of
America") and ever since have vacated the land jurisdiction side
of
their office, which is the Public Office.
That inability or unwillingness on the part of the United States
Congress
to operate in Public Office explains why all the "quarters"
and other coins have been altered and "redesigned"
and had base metals added to them to make them
separate and different from our actual money.
Even the coins have been adulterated and falsified and made to look
like,
but not actually be, our money.
This is why no actual United States Silver Dollars have been issued
since the 1920's and the reason that the rats had to contract
to use legal tender "as" money.
Their further agreement with the Federal Reserve Banks to rent
the Fed's private bank script at interest was just more pure gross
corruption, greed, and disregard for their duty to the American states
and people -
a simple siphon or "conduit exchange" used to double dip
and unlawfully transfer our assets into their coffers, with the Federal
Reserve Banks getting a nice cut of the proceeds.
As landlords and
sovereign entities and Protected Persons, we can fill our vacated
Fiduciary Deputy offices and send our State Fiduciary Deputy
Delegations
to a Continental Congress in Philadelphia and they can lawfully issue
United States Silver Dollars and take care of a great deal of the other
long-overdue laundry list of work-to-be-done.
We simply need to get busy, organize, and do it.
So yes, we already have lawful, asset-backed money
and have always had lawful, asset-backed money in circulation
and we still do have sufficient quantities of it in circulation
worldwide.
We can trade on the new Chinese IEX system tomorrow.
In the meantime and
in the same vein, we are enabled to operate under Article X of the
actual Constitution and issue, for example, "American States
Silver
Dollars" using new designs for the mint imprints.
That is, even though
all "United States Silver Dollars" are ours, there is nothing
stopping
us from issuing other forms of asset-backed coinage and currency so
long
as we are willing to operate under full commercial liability for the
quality of our product.
"Full commercial liability" in this case means
that when we promise that each coin is a specified amount and quality
of
metal, it has to meet that standard and be that product, or we are
liable to pay the difference and whatever damages result.
If your intent is to deal honestly with other people,
there is no reason to fear full commercial liability.
So let's get back to the actual, factual United States
and recognize these foreign corporate interlopers for what they are,
before the entire world.
We are not responsible for what these British Subjects have done
in Breach of Trust and commercial contract,
nor are we responsible for what they have failed to do without
our knowledge and consent.
The United States Congress now seated in
Washington, DC is functioning in the foreign international jurisdiction
of the sea as an incorporated commercial entity composed of elected
representatives - proxies, in other words; Not Fiduciary Deputies;
Not able to issue lawful money.
Let me say it in another way, to make
sure everyone understands it - actual lawful money, for example, our
United States Silver Dollars, are issued by the land jurisdiction
government, our Continental Congress, acting in international
jurisdiction under Article X - the reserved powers of
the "states and people" in that jurisdiction.
The United States Congress operating as a
foreign
corpse-oration can only issue legal tender -
bonds, stocks, letters of credit, etc.
That's why they have issued all this fiat money and
contracted to use private bank scripts instead of lawful money.
The Founders left them no other choice.

American States and Nations (Trading) Bank --- Part Two
By Anna Von Reitz
In Part One we discussed the difference between actual money,
which must
have actual value as a commodity in-and-of-itself and "legal
tender"----
stocks,
bonds,
letters of credit,
insurance indemnity receipts,
etc.
We also discussed the fact that while the original members of Congress
were enabled to act as either Fiduciary Deputies and convene a
Continental
Congress representing the land jurisdiction government under Article X
(a
public office),
or,
act as Representatives and convene a United States
Congress to oversee the nineteen operations delegated to the federal
government in international jurisdiction (a private corporate office),
they in Breach of Trust ceased to operate the land jurisdiction office
with the passage of the 19th Amendment to their corporate constitution
called "The Constitution of the United States of America".
Ever since then they have been obliged to operate on legal (fiction)
tender and to issue look-alike but significantly altered coinage,
because
only lawful land jurisdiction governments can issue actual money.
We also discussed the difference between "commerce" and
"trade"----
commerce is business between incorporated entities,
trade is business
between unincorporated entities including actual people and
unincorporated
businesses --- and also unincorporated states operating as
unincorporated
body politics.
The American States and Nations (Trading) Bank is an unincorporated
public
bank operated for the benefit of actual people and unincorporated
businesses and states.
Just as all the banks you are familiar with "presume" that
you are
operating as a franchise of the federal
corpse-oration and doing business as
JOHN MAYNARD DOE,
our American States and Nations Bank presumes that you
are operating as an unincorporated free man or unincorporated business.
Just as all the banks you are familiar with presume that you are
depositing and transferring and holding private bank script called
"Federal Reserve Notes" into and out of your accounts,
American States and
Nations Bank presumes that you are depositing,
transferring,
and holding
lawful asset-backed money.
After all,
digits can represent anything and often do.
Do the digits in your checking account stand for Federal Reserve Notes
or
United States Silver Dollars or United States Notes? Nobody really knows
or is held accountable for what those digits represent until you
"denominate" them.
You have a choice to act as a "United States Citizen"
or a "citizen of the United States" or an American State
National.
You can
use legal tender or you can use lawful money.
Since 1933 the banks have been assuming that everything coming into
every
account is Federal Reserve Notes.
They presume this because that is
advantageous to them both in terms of controlling the accounts and in
siphoning value out of them---- but you can choose to denominate funds
however you choose.
This is the back side of the "dollar for dollar"
exchange rate established by Congress in 1933.
You can write a letter to the CEO of your bank and inform him/her that
all
funds being deposited,
transferred within,
or transferred out of your
accounts is to be "denominated as lawful money"--- and in an
atmosphere of
bail-ins and seizures and bank closures,
i highly recommend that you do so
and send your letter via Registered Mail with a Return Receipt Requested
so that you have proof that you have fully informed the bank.
This keeps the rats from seizing your assets under the false presumption
that your assets are actually their assets---- their private script.
It
also keeps them from seizing your accounts or executing liens against
them
under the false presumption that the accounts belong to a public
franchise
corpse-oration.
Or you can choose to do your business with a Trade Bank.
A Trade Bank instead presumes that all accounts are deposits of lawful
money,
so you don't have to clarify your intent or denominate the nature
of the contents of your accounts.
They also presume that all accounts are
private accounts held by living people or unincorporated businesses.
A commercial bank exists to serve entities involved in commerce ---
transactions between incorporated entities,
like General Foods buying a
fleet of vehicles from Ford Motor Company.
Such banks are all private
corporate banks being used by the public.
A Trade Bank exists to serve the needs of living people and small
unincorporated businesses and associations.
Such banks are public banks
devoted to private use,
but they are often described as a "Private Bank"
because that's who uses them---- private people,
private businesses,
private institutions.
Please note that this can be confusing.
People assume that the big
privately owned commercial banks are public institutions,
because they are
regulated---- or supposed to be,
by Congress and "State" governments.
In
fact,
because all these banks are
corpse-orations operating as franchises of
one or another federal
corpse-orations,
such as say,
the STATE OF CALIFORNIA,
the only regulation they are under is the fox guarding the hen house
kind.
They are all heavily insured and none of them operate under full
commercial liability for anything they do.
Trade banks like American States and Nations Bank operate under full
commercial liability.
They aren't eligible to be insured by FDIC because
they are not franchises of the federal
corpse-oration or any federated "State
of State" organization.
Whatever insurance they provide depositors is based first and foremost
on
their obligation to operate under full commercial liability.
They can't
steal,
give away,
seize,
confiscate,
or otherwise mess with your assets on
deposit because your assets are known to be private property,
not the
property of public franchises.
If they do,
they and their owners and
managers are all subject to criminal prosecution under Common Law and
can
lose every penny they have in addition to serving lengthy prison
sentences.
This is radically different than the prospects for the corporate bank
executives who can get away with murder--- financial murder,
paper
murder--- and skate away with all their own assets untouched.
When you stop and think about it you will realize that they only reason
to
insure your deposits is that they can be lost,
stolen,
confiscated,
or
seized upon by the private incorporated banks and their own
creditors----and they are not liable for this,
because they aren't
operating under full commercial liability.
They can plead bankruptcy and all sorts of other excuses and get away
with
it.
The only institution insuring your deposits is in fact another
corpse-oration spawned by the same parent
corpse-oration that operates all these
banks as franchises in the first place.
So what do you have in actuality?
When the parent company folds it takes down all its franchises with it,
including the franchises supposedly insuring your deposits---- so you
get
cleaned out,
insured or not.
It's just another scam to make you think that
these banks are safe when in fact they are not dealing honestly or
responsibly in the first place and are not accepting even the burden of
the Prudent Man Standard,
which requires the operators of a Trade Bank to
demonstrate that they have acted as a prudent man would act in the
discharge of their duty as your fiduciaries.
Although they pretend otherwise,
all these incorporated banks are in fact
"at your own risk service providers" that are providing
banking services
as franchises of the governmental services
corpse-orations.
The unincorporated Trade Banks are the only true public banks in the
nation and they operate under Article X as lawful rather than legal
institutions.
When you elect to live as an American State National you will need and
want to use lawful money.
You will want the services of a Trade Bank----
but you will also have to identify your political status explicitly and
you will also have to accept the realities of life and banking.
Yes,
a tornado can tear a bank apart.
Thieves can break in and steal.
A
hacker can break in,
too,
and steal important transaction and ownership
records.
Many,
many things can happen and as a depositor with a Trade Bank
you have to accept the fact that the men and women holding your private
property in safekeeping are not God.
They can't guarantee against such
eventualities.
All they can guarantee is their own good faith performance
and due diligence as faithful fiduciaries.
You also have to accept the fact that there is no insurance better than
that--- at least not in this world.
The FDIC can't insure your deposits
against itself.
As a final reality,
you also have to accept that Trade Banks by their
honest nature,
have to be paid for providing honest services.
The big
incorporated banks provide "free checking" and other services
for free
because they are making out like bandits using and abusing your
"public
assets".
They are being paid royally,
via undisclosed predation.
Trade banks do not engage in such practices,
so must charge fees for their
operating expenses,
employee salaries,
and overhead.
Trade banks are not
in the business to make money and are organized as private international
service organizations instead.
In an international setting,
American Trade Banks operated under Article X
are already enabled to participate in the new Chinese IEX systems,
because
they are already dealing with precious metals-backed currency and
deposits
of lawful asset-backed money.
All they need is help connecting to the new
trading platforms physically and in terms of training personnel,
etc.,
and
their depositors will provide all the capitalization necessary.
All those who have been worried about the lack of "United
States"
participation in these new BRICs Trading Platforms need only consider
what
the word "trade" implies,
and the fact that the Federal Reserve Banks
don't operate in trade,
they operate in commerce.
American States and Nations Bank has been organized under Sovereign
Letters Patent as an unincorporated International Organization --- a
Trade
Bank operated under Article X to serve as a "central bank"
for the
American States and Nations on the land jurisdiction of the United
States,
using lawful money,
serving living people and unincorporated businesses
and associations,
including Jural Assemblies,
the fifty unincorporated
land jurisdiction states,
and churches which have chosen to dissolve
corporate affiliations.
Everyone needs to step back and look hard at the jurisdictional issues
involved and ask—which "United States" are you talking
about? The land
jurisdiction government of the people,
by the people,
and for the people
operated by American State Nationals? Well,
then,
that version of "United
States" has always operated honestly and in good faith and uses
very
well-known international lawful money known as the United States Silver
Dollar.
We may well get our Yankee Doodle up and issue either more United States
Silver Dollars or issue American States Silver Dollars to avoid any
further confusion of us and our lawful money with the British Subjects
operating the United States of America,
Inc.,
who have promulgated all
this fraud and misrepresented their "Federal Reserve Notes"
and other
forms of legal tender such as "United States Notes" as
"United States
Dollars".
Please note that that is "United States Dollars" as opposed
to "United
States Silver Dollars".
Take a look at all the new money products they are offering,
especially
the so-called Rainbow Notes which have been issued in the same exact
colors as the fake money in a Monopoly Board Game set.
It appears that
their arrogance,
and in the end,
their stupidity,
knows no bounds.
Such money is not money,
because it has no intrinsic value
in-and-of-itself.
It is at most "legal tender"---- [3]I.O.Us known as
bonds,
stock certificates,
letters of credit,
etc.
that is being foisted
off instead of money and hypothecated without consensually granted
authority against the labor and other private and public assets of the
American people.
The United States Congress as opposed to the United States in Congress
Assembled has no ability to issue actual money and there is no hope to
be
had in wishing or expecting them or their central bank operated by the
Federal Reserve to come forward and participate in new asset-backed
monetary system.
They can't do it,
for reasons explained in American
States and Nations (Trade) Bank,
Part I.
The American States and Nations
Bank is a properly organized and ordained
central trade bank,
and with a little help,
it can do all the things that
the Federal Reserve cannot.

Until the New Bank Comes
By
Anna Von Reitz
What can you do to help get through the transition safely and not have
everything at risk in corporate banks?
1.
There are IRA/401K options that allow you to buy gold and keep it at
home or wherever else you like in your own keeping.
Consider transferring your IRA/401K into physical gold and simply
keeping it in a home safe.
2. Remember -- always -- that Postal Money Orders are
backed by gold
and are easily exchanged for any form of currency on the planet.
A Postal Money Order is like the "cash of all cashes".
Unlike physical gold, a PMO is as easy to transport as any paper
currency.
And although it is totally fungible like a currency,
you can -- if you wish -- restrict who can use it similar to a check,
simply by filling out the information sections or not.
i have always liked Postal Money Orders and often use them for my own
savings, even though there is a nominal fee to convert FRNs to PMOs.
The gold-backing, the freedom from confiscation, the ease of transport
and storage, and the universal ability to convert into local currency is well
worth it.
But, but, but, BUT......
I hear some of you saying--
what about the interest i can accrue on my savings account in a
commercial bank?
Considering that none of your PERSONAL accounts actually belong to
you and that they are subject to confiscation by the bank at any time for any
reason i would think that the danger posed to your savings as a whole
would mitigate against leaving it for the taking in spite of the petty annual
percentage of interest gained.
There is also this to be said--
the value of your savings kept as digits in a savings account is
constantly being pilfered and eroded by inflation.
Inflation is an unseen tax.
At the same time as the value of your savings account in terms of
buying power is being eroded, the value of asset-backed currency and gold and
silver is increasing.
So if your savings is in a bank you are continuing to lose to inflation
everything and more than what you gain as interest, plus the risk of being
confiscated.
Whereas, if you go with a gold IRA/401K you don't gain interest in the
conventional sense, but the value of the actual asset increases by whatever the
rate of inflation is, plus whatever the gold market will bear.
And if you pay the fee to translate your paper "legal tender" into
Postal Money Orders, the same is true.
Instead of losing value to inflation, you gain value.
In both cases, your money is no longer in the clutches of a bank and
made subject to confiscation as an account belonging to a US GOVERNMENT
franchise PERSON.
Until ASAN banks are up and running in your state, using gold IRA/401Ks
is admittedly not as convenient and you can't draw conventional credit from the
asset.
Similarly, Postal Money Orders don't translate into debit or credit
card accounts.
Convenience is lost.
Safety is gained.
Interest is lost.
Inflation is stopped and recouped.
The choices are there and they are up to you.
If you want the advantages of gold and the convenience of a credit
card, there are options available in the world.
I have recommended Karatbars for this purpose and anyone interested can
investigate for themselves on the web.
The conversion is steep, but if you want the advantages of gold and the
convenience of fiat--
it may well be worth it to you.
i maintain my own savings apart from any banks (no, i don't keep it
under my mattress) and keep only a running account for checking and credit card
purposes in my private small business account.
Every year i send the bank CEO a little reminder letter that my
private business account is exempt for tax purposes and that all funds
deposited and transferred must be denominated as lawful money.
The banks are required to denominate your money as lawful money if
you request that and doing so then forces them to recognize your account as a
private account, creating an obligation on their part to set it aside from any
confiscation of "public" accounts and--
whatever form of lawful money is deemed to be in your account--
they can no longer presume that you are voluntarily using the
government's private FRN script and that that is what is represented by the
digits in your accounts.
So i take that precaution, too, and recommend it to all of you who have
small unincorporated businesses.
It is to the bank's advantage to presume that you are operating as a
PERSON
and that your account is a PERSONAL account and not a private one--
left to their own, they will always make this presumption.
It is up to you to rebut it and give them other directions.
Still, if the government sends jackboots to the bank and orders the
confiscation of all accounts and safety deposit boxes--
and we now know that the government is run by thugs and operated by
gangs of foreign commercial mercenaries kept in check by nothing more or less
than public knowledge and opinion--
what's a local bank president supposed to do? Hire his own private
army?
Bank Update
30 May 2017 10:13 AM PDT
To understand what American States and Nations Bank is,
you have to understand the difference between commerce and trade.
Trade is business between unincorporated businesses and people.
Commerce is business between incorporated businesses.
Of course,
unincorporated businesses can do business with incorporated businesses
in the realm of international trade.
American state nationals naturally function on the land jurisdiction
and participate in trade.
They and their Mom and Pop businesses and even their larger more
substantial private businesses all participate in trade.
When they step across the state (national) border they engage in
international trade.
Strange to tell,
when someone from Georgia sells a car to someone in Florida,
they are engaged in international trade.
This is because each state is a nation.
When Porcupine and Sons,
a local unincorporated family-owned sawmill in Three Pines,
Georgia,
sells a shipment of flat-sawn pine flooring to MacKenzie Restoration
Design,
Inc.
located in Princeton,
New Jersey,
they are engaged in international trade.
Me selling ten raspberry bushes to my next door neighbor? That is
intra-state trade.
Me selling the same ten raspberry bushes to someone in Oregon? That is
international trade.
(Why? Because each state is a nation.)
My small unincorporated family business,
Gallery of the Lakes,
sells a painting to an incorporated business in Idaho?
(International trade again — Unincorporated + Incorporated =
international trade.)
But,
the moment that both parties incorporate their business,
it becomes what?
International commerce.
And what does the “United States Congress” have control of?
Ah! — interstate commerce,
which because all states are nations,
means what?
International commerce.
So how does the "federal government" get its nose into
absolutely every little petty trade and sale and transaction and demand
a pound of flesh out of it?
Almost at the moment you were born,
they swooped in and forced your Mother (without anything like
full-disclosure)--
to accept a "PERSON" for you,
a federal
corpse-oration franchise named after you:
JOHN MARK DOE or ELISE ANN KRAUTMEYER or YOUR NAME.
And from that moment on,
you were "presumed" to be operating in "interstate
(international) commerce"
and held subject to the federal
corpse-orations and federated states issuing that PERSON.
All this to give you an update on The American States and Nations Bank--
and all of it necessary for you to understand what The Bank is.
It is an unincorporated private Trade Bank engaged in intra-state and
international trade transactions.
Every one who has an account with ASAN has to be functioning as
an unincorporated living man or woman or unincorporated business--
not as a "PERSON".
That’s what makes it private and ensures that we are always operating
in Trade,
not Commerce.
Because unincorporated men and women own themselves
and unincorporated businesses owe no obligation to any government
for granting them a franchise, our accounts are private, too.
What they call "personal accounts" at Wells Fargo?
Remember that in Federalese the word "person" means
"corpse-oration".
Every penny you donate--
literally donate--
to the account of YOUR NAME ceases to be yours.
It actually belongs to the federal corpse-oration that issued your
PERSON way back when.
That's why FDIC insures "YOUR" deposits.
And that is why the IMF which bought all the PERSONS issued prior to
1980
can talk about seizing all the 401K and other savings accounts of these
PERSONS.
All the accounts in all the so-called "commercial banks"
belong to PERSONS
and those PERSONS belong to government services corpse-orations as
franchises.
When the parent
corpse-oration goes bankrupt--
guess what?
All the PERSONS are sent into Chapter 11 or Chapter 7, too.
Naturally,
the bankruptcy trustees come in and seize control of
all the PERSONAL assets in those savings accounts and safety deposit
boxes,
and the banks (that are actually behind all this crappola)
stand there innocent as the flowers in May and say,
"There's nothing we can do about it.
It’s a government mandate."
They will wait until they can close their doors and wipe out the
checking "demand accounts" too.
Let me repeat why.
PERSONAL accounts don't belong to you.
They belong to a franchise
corpse-oration named after you.
In fact,
the commercial banks are in deep collusion with
the same foreign governmental services
corpse-orations
that foisted their PERSONS off onto you.
They set up this whole system with malice-aforethought
to get their hands in your pockets,
enforce taxes on you,
and lay false claims of collateral obligation against your private
assets.
They call this "hypothecation" of debt.
The IMF has been slavering after the retirement accounts of American
pensioners for months,
and has only been stopped because they are now identified as
part of the problem and will be targeted
if they attempt any such seizures of "PERSONAL" accounts.
Enough about the problem.
Now the update on the solution.
The solution is to return to honest banking.
i know.
Sounds like an oxymoron to me,
too,
but it can be done.
The American States and Nations Bank is NOT a commercial bank.
It doesn’t serve PERSONS.
It serves people.
It functions in trade,
not [in] commerce.
It is a sovereign state bank,
not a "state of state" bank.
It makes no claim of owning your accounts or what is deposited in those
accounts.
It doesn't loan your money out to anyone.
Anything you deposit with American States and Nations Bank remains
yours.
Period.
Nobody has any ability to waltz in and levy your accounts or steal your
savings absent actual armed robbery.
Likewise,
we don’t deal in commercial paper.
We will be able to exchange different currencies for you like any bank,
but we won't be carrying any "Notes" as digits on our books.
We deal in assets and asset-backed currencies: actual, lawful
money.
Those of you who saw the Harry Potter movies
will remember when Harry went to Gringot’s Bank
to get some money out of the cache his parents left him.
He had to pass muster under the stern and beady gaze
of a small goblin perched high behind an old-fashioned bookkeeping desk
like Bob Cratchett,
and Harry had to produce all the right information to access his vault.
Even though ASAN will have state of the art abilities,
it will be an old-fashioned,
simple,
safe,
repository bank.
It will use carriage accounting,
charge flat fees for services,
and will keep all your private information private.
If you get a loan,
it will be an actual loan.
All the rules of the bank will be fully disclosed to all depositors and
they won't fill ten volumes of microprint.
Those Americans in each state who want the services of such a bank will
be able to organize an ASAN bank.
These banks will all be national banks because each state is a nation
and each will be totally under local control,
however,
by choosing our template and joining our banking association
and committing to our service and transparency and organizational
guidelines
all the member banks will be similar in the ways that count.
International Trade Bank? What?
By Anna Von Reitz
Posted: 01 Jul 2017 08:28 AM PDT
i think there has been a misunderstanding--
internationally--
about the United States of America vs. United States,
and that confusion has led to a vast confusion about banking here, too.
Please let me take a few minutes to go over the situation as it stands.
The international jurisdiction naturally belonging to the now-fifty
sovereign organic states of the Union is split between two entities,
the United States of America and the United States.
The United States is a
corpse-oration that has nineteen delegated and
enumerated powers that it exercises in behalf of the unincorporated
United
States of America.
All the remaining non-delegated powers in international jurisdiction,
including the powers of private and unincorporated international trade,
are retained by the states and the people and are exercised by the
unincorporated United States of America.
The confusion that currently abounds arises because: (1) both the
United States and the United States of America are often just referred
to as
the "United States" as if they were one in the same when they are not,
and (2) this confusion has become even more pronounced because of the
advent of a federal
corpse-oration calling itself the United States of America, Inc.
Now you have the unincorporated United States of America,
which is the doing business name of the organic states and people of
this country,
and at the same time,
you have the United States, Inc.
doing business in behalf of the unincorporated United States of America,
and then,
the United States, Inc.
has its own franchise doing business as the United States of America,
Incorporated.
Visualize it like this:
United States of America > United States, Inc. > United States of
America, Inc.
This is understandably very confusing,
but as you can see,
the unincorporated United States of America owns the United States, Inc.
which in turn owns the United States of America, Inc.
With this as a background then,
the unincorporated United States of America has recently established an
equally unincorporated International Trade Bank called The American
States and
Nations Bank (ASAN).
This is the bank that the American states and people will use to trade
with
other nations that wish to trade in currencies backed by precious
metals,
and the currency we will use will be the old familiar American Silver
Dollar.
The American States and Nations Bank (ASAN) will naturally want to
belong to the BRICS banking group and have access to the Cross-Border
Inter-Bank Payments System (CIPS).
The American States and Nations Bank (ASAN) is chartered directly by
the
unincorporated United States of America,
and is the private International Trade Bank equivalent of the
commercial central banks.
Please note that because unincorporated businesses are legal fictions
in the same way that
corpse-orations are legal fictions,
these entities can trade with each other.
Put another way,
commercial banks can only engage in business transactions between
corpse-orations,
but unincorporated International Trade Banks can conduct business
transactions between people,
between unincorporated businesses,
and between unincorporated businesses and
corpse-orations.
It's the link that has been missing in the world financial markets.
The fundamental difference between commercial banks and international
trade banks is a matter of insurance and user groups.
International Trade Banks have to be privately indemnified and function
under
complete commercial liability,
while commercial banks enjoy limited liability in exchange for
subjecting themselves to taxes,
public reporting requirements,
and statutory regulations.
International Trade Banks are the old-fashioned banks your grandparents
knew.
When you deposit money in an account with them,
it is a completely private matter.
No government can bail itself in or out using your deposits absent your
consent.
Levies on private bank accounts are unknown.
A loan is a loan of actual substance,
not digits written in a ledger.
As you can see,
there are fundamental advantages to doing business with an
International Trade Bank and if you are an honest man or small business
concerned about the safety of your deposits and the honesty of your
bankers,
it makes perfect sense to do your business through International Trade
Banks instead of commercial banks that aren't--
strictly speaking--
supposed to be providing direct consumer services to anyone who isn't
knowingly and willingly functioning as a
corpse-oration or officer of a
corpse-oration.
International Trade Banks provide lawful private banking services that
are truly private and secure,
and which are privately insured,
to people and unincorporated businesses.
They provide the "communication channel" between unincorporated
businesses and
commercial
corpse-orations.
They receive and deposit lawful money--
that is,
money that has intrinsic value,
such as American Silver Dollars,
and can also trade in actual money-backed certificates,
such as the old Silver Certificates our grandparents used and
Safe-Keeping Receipts (SKR's) that are used to trade and establish
credit based
on actual asset holdings.
We look forward to speaking with the BRICS alliance and to working with
each one of the fifty States to open up state-level International Trade
Banks.
We know that the American people and small businesses are eager to have
honest secure local banks available.
Americans want access to the many advantages,
services and business opportunities that are unique to International
Trade Banks--
and with the advent of The American States and Nations Bank (ASAN) the
real America will be open for business with the rest of the world.
So that is what The American States and Nations Bank (ASAN) is and
where it fits in the grand scheme of things.
It is a uniquely American bank and in the months to come we will be
working in tandem with the Bank of Dene,
the sovereign indigenous bank of the Athabascan people,
as our federal interface.
In this way the actual Constitution and the Law of the Land is
preserved for
new generations to come,
undergirded with lawful money and honest banking.
The Meeting of the Grand Poobahs
By Anna Von Reitz
Posted: 09 Jul 2017 05:36 PM PDT
Immediately after the Revolutionary War each one of the new nation
states began
issuing money.
Those that issued coinage of gold and silver fared all right,
but struggled with supply.
Those that issued paper "script" were almost immediately
beset with
counterfeiting problems.
It turns out that the British government (yes,
this is after the end of the Revolutionary War) deliberately flooded
the market
with counterfeit script to "confound" the newly formed
states' economies.
People started saying that things "weren't worth a Continental!
(dollar)" as a
result.
It was substantially because of this British counterfeiting fiasco,
that the states delegated their right to issue money to a national
authority--
their own land jurisdiction Congress.
After the
so-called Civil War the British-based interlopers craftily
substituted their own private corporate "Congress" and
proceeded to substitute
and counterfeit our currency for profit.
Lincoln issued "Green backs" instead of silver dollars,
floated on the value of our labor (our backs) and 1040 Bonds--
so called because you could choose to redeem them after ten or forty
years--
which were used to extract the value of our labor and put it in
European pockets.
This same scheme morphed into the "1040 Form" which was
enforced by the foreign,
private Internal Revenue Service as a tax--
used to back U.S.
Treasury Bonds,
and later,
IMF Bonds.
The ultimate counterfeit job was pulled off by the "Federal
Reserve System"
substituting their paper promises known as "Federal Reserve
Notes" for our
American Silver Dollars.
The scam was so successful that even people in America called these
pieces of
paper "dollars".
There were numerous ways used to embezzle value from us.
First,
the "Federal Reserve" paid only a few pennies to print the
"Federal Reserve
Notes",
and received back the whole face value of the note,
plus interest,
for their trouble.
Hello?
Read that part over again as many times as necessary until you truly
understand it.
Second,
via the Emergency Banking Act and other patently bogus legislation,
the fake corporate "Congress" established in 1868,
granted itself the right to "exchange" their Federal Reserve
Notes for our
actual American Silver Dollars on a "dollar for dollar" basis.
Hmmm.....
since when does a "promise to pay" create an equitable
exchange for actual
silver?
Especially when such an exchange is enforced on people without their
consent by private,
mostly foreign-owned corporations masquerading as their lawful
government?
Using this patently bogus "legislation" as their excuse,
the vermin emptied out Fort Knox right under the watchful eyes of the
U.S.
Army.
Bill Clinton transported the last of it during his administration.
Third,
the asset backing the "Federal Reserve Notes" was gradually,
steadily downgraded--
first,
FDR removed the gold backing,
then Nixon removed the silver backing,
then we bobbled along with the "Petrodollar" with oil backing
the Federal
Reserve Notes,
until finally,
in 2009,
the "Federal Reserve System" was declared bankrupt.
The British and French controlled "U.S.
Government" went right on printing "Federal Reserve
Notes" backed by nothing at
all.
In fact,
they stepped up production and printed as many of these "Federal
Reserve Notes"
as they [humanly mechanically],
possibly could.
And they continued to encourage and promote the confusion between their
I.O.U.s
and our actual American Silver Dollars.
During the Obummer Administration actual "federal" printing
presses and mint
plates were exported out of this country to Thailand,
France,
and the Philippines,
and over a trillion fake $100 bills were printed.
Thankfully,
not all of them got distributed,
but many did--
truckloads and railroad cars full of them.
There were other problems showing up,
too.
The British Finance Ministry finally jerked awake and made the public
observance that something was wrong with the figures of total tonnage
of world
gold supplies.
They had been informed that only 1500 tons of gold had ever been mined
in the
history of the world,
and that's the basis they were using to peg gold values--
but that is obviously
a gross underestimate even a grade school child would eventually detect,
and finally the House of Lords did,
too.
Oh,
my.
And then,
all these "gold bonds" started showing up,
trillions and trillions of dollars worth of old bonds,
some of them actual,
some of them counterfeits.
Boxes and boxes of promises-to-pay made by various governments at
various times
to pay in gold,
to pay in silver,
to pay,
pay,
pay--
but of course,
they never did.
The various parties were overturned by war,
or new administrations or new governmental services corporations took
over and
the bonds were never paid.
About the time that the Federal Reserve System was bankrupted,
the Chinese jerked awake and got concerned about actual deposits of
gold that
the Nationalist Chinese government made to the New York Federal Reserve
Bank in 1928.
The gold had been sitting there "on deposit" since 1928,
and the Bilkers had never even paid the interest due on it.
The New York Fed refused to pay.
So through the good offices of Neil Keenan,
the Chinese government brought suit in the U.S.
District Court of New York and sued to have their deposit,
or at least the interest due on their deposit,
returned.
That was 2011.
It is now six years later.
The fraud and the counterfeiting is finally at an end,
but with the effect that virtually all the world's currencies have been
compromised and the lack of accurate records about precious metals
supplies and
other vital data has led to a situation in which "nobody knows the
value of
anything"--
quote unquote.
i heard that and i started laughing.
It was a very strange sound under the circumstance.
Everyone else present looked more somber than a gravestone in the
pouring rain.
All i could think was--
"Isn't THAT the truth?
People have never known the value of anything.
How else could they value little pieces of metal above honor or love?
Cherish pieces of paper above children or clean water or peace?
LOL!"
The speaker might have added that the task of determining who owns what
anymore
is also largely beyond repair.
The bankers and the Spooks and politicians got a little greedy on the
side and
sold gold and silver that didn't belong to them,
and issued bonds against gold and silver that didn't belong to them,
and traded gold and silver that didn't belong to them,
so that the real ownership and interest in the vastly
greater-than-ever-recorded stockpiles of gold and silver is largely
unknown,
too,
and difficult to determine.
There are ten would-be owners for every coin and most of them have at
least
some credible evidence that can't be discounted without careful and
honest
investigation.
It turns out that beginning in the 1920's and especially after the
Second World
War,
vast amounts of gold and silver and precious stones and art and
everything else
simply disappeared and got deposited in empty bunkers and bank vaults
all over
the world,
creating a largely artificial scarcity of coinage and available money
throughout the world.
This underground stockpile of what stands for wealth in this world was
kept on
a so-called "off ledger" accounting system.
Just as the government had "budgeted" and
"non-budgeted" income streams,
the banks had "on ledger" and "off ledger" accounts.
With the same results.
Embezzlement.
Fraud.
Graft.
Back to the meeting of Grand Poobahs:
While everyone else sat there in a swelter of impending doom,
i felt suddenly free and joyous,
like a kid again.
It felt like the aftermath of when my house burned down and all i had
left was
a rusty ax head.
"So," i recapped,
"nobody can place an accurate value on anything,
and the actual ownership of most of the world's wealth is in serious
doubt.
Am i getting this straight?"
Nods all around the table,
averted eyes,
even a few blushes.
If you ever saw people who were "shame-faced" this was it.
"And yet," i continued,
"everyone knows that all the peoples of the world and all the
governments have
assets and aren't really broke......"
It was a real Come to Jesus moment.
Imagine waking up one morning and being told that you have a 150 years
of
dishonest bookkeeping to deal with?
And then being told that although you have almost unimaginable
stockpiles of
wealth,
you can't spend any of it,
because the ownership of everything is clouded.
Oh,
and by the way,
the entire world thinks that your government is responsible for the
criminally
insane corporations that have done all this.
They think that "Federal Reserve Notes" are dollars.
They are blaming you for this.
Yeah,
right.
Okay,
let's get this straight.
The unincorporated United States of America--
the actual American states and
people--
have been the first and chief victims of these shysters.
They did it to us,
the same time they did it to everyone else.
Also for the record,
our "dollar" is defined as fine silver and always has been
and still is.
And now that you finally know the truth,
the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth--
we are indeed at a turning point of our planetary
history.
Why?
Because in order to keep everyone on Earth afloat and fed and living,
we have to give each other credit.
We have to admit that everyone,
every single one of us,
has value.
We have skills.
We have labor.
We have natural resources.
We have land.
We have copyrights and patents.
Each one of us and the whole Earth that we are heir to,
is supremely valuable and in the end,
these things are the only things of value that men trade,
aside from our love and our respect.
So let's give each other that--
both love and respect,
and then,
let's give each other all the credit needed to flourish and thrive.
Now that i am a great-grandmother myself i look back on my own Grandma
with new
insight and understanding.
i remember her looking at an immense pile of cow manure and shaking her
head
and saying,
"It takes a lot of cow manure to grow a rose bush."
Yes,
it does.
It surely does.
This whole situation is a giant pile of manure caused by a large number
of
international criminals,
but we can do with it what we will,
limited only by our vision of a better world and our willingness to--
literally--
give each other credit,
as individuals and as nations.
Stay calm,
everybody.
Stay focused on what is actually valuable--
your lives,
your family,
your homes,
your food,
your water,
your work,
your passions,
your health,
the people you love--
and take all the "symbols of value" with a grain of salt.
We've been trained to value the image instead of the fact,
like dogs trained to salivate when they see a picture of dog food.
This was done to defraud us of our time and our energy and our material
wealth
and to keep us on a hamster wheel.
This is the moment in time when you are truly free to consider what
matters--
what is truly valuable--
and to act accordingly.
New Assignment For the GCR Committee
By Anna Von Reitz
Posted: 05 Sep 2017 06:30 AM PDT
Having reviewed the many known evils of basing our currency systems on
the value of any standard commodity,
we,
the Paramount Security Interest Holders and Priority Creditors of every
Municipal and Territorial Corporation and franchise on this planet,
including the UN Corporation,
request that the GCR Committee come up with a Starting Total Trade
Value for all known traded commodities and all labor assets as of
September 1,
2017.
The purpose of this calculation is to provide a basis for issuance of a
new global currency denominated as a tiny fraction of the Total Trade
Value.
This new currency based on our collective commodity and labor assets is
being issued into a competitive free market and not intended to
displace any
viable national currency,
but merely to offer an asset-based alternative to conventional
asset-based currencies which in our opinion are too subject to
manipulation,
scarcity,
inelasticity,
exclusivity,
and other ills.
Let us simply address the background for this request for the benefit
of those uneducated in the subject.
Commodity markets (and commodity-based currencies) are subject to
supply and demand,
futures selling and trading,
seasonal variations,
hoarding,
market speculation and manipulation,
and insider trading.
Money is itself a commodity,
which competes in the global marketplace,
and rises or falls dependent upon
ephemeral factors such as
"perceived value"
and "public opinion"
and attacks by counterfeiters.
Always,
producers of a commodity enjoy very decided advantages over investors
in commodities,
as producers have a direct ability to influence supply,
demand,
price,
and even future price offerings--
factors that consumers and
non-producer investors cannot influence or profit from.
This at the very least creates a severely tilted playing field.
Also,
we note that whoever has the most of
"the" standard commodity in an asset-based currency system
enjoys an unparalleled advantage over all others doing business within
that system.
It doesn't matter if we are talking about
Arabian oil or Chinese gold or American silver--
whoever owns the most of that particular commodity
backing a particular currency
has a decided and unfair and unassailable advantage in the marketplace.
We,
Americans,
(as opposed to United States Citizens with whom we are constantly
confused)
have always used silver as our preferred commodity
to back our asset-based currency
known as the United States Silver Dollar
and we hereby announce our intention to continue to issue and use
our traditional national silver-backed currency,
however,
we tire of the spectacle of what are essentially rigged storefronts and
rigged markets
that are designed to exclude people throughout the rest of the world
who don't have gold or silver or oil in abundance
from an equal participation in both trade and commerce.
Like all non-producing investors in specific commodities markets--
peas,
soybeans,
cotton,
or whatever--
these people and their countries
are crippled and dependent upon
whatever winds of fortune blow upon commodities they don't possess--
gold,
silver,
platinum,
oil,
etc.,
and can't influence and which leave no options that include them as
producers.
That is,
the absence of a world currency that takes into account all commodities
and all labor resources means that
producers of all other commodities aren't able
to fully or safely participate in the world's currency markets,
which then also cripples their participation in the global economy as a
whole.
Our initiative is designed to provide everyone on Earth a safe haven
and means of investment in
a currency based on assets they and their country produce.
The issuance of this new universal currency,
called the True Value Dollar,
TVM or TRU (trademarked by the unincorporated United States of America)
marks the beginning of an open world economy and world market,
one in which actual value is traded for actual value,
and in which everyone is a producer unimpeded by any natural lack of
any specific standard commodity such as
oil,
gold,
silver,
etc.
The True Value Dollar will be issued through licensed,
regulated,
and bonded cryptocurrency providers,
as well as being made available through our international
trade and commercial banks.
We await the GCR Committee's findings and request that they carefully
consider our position and our objections to returning to
the same kind of corrupt 19th century commodity-backed currency system
as our great-grandfathers left behind.
We object to any such unmoderated system of single asset-backed
currencies,
not for any lack of silver or fear for our long-established currency,
but because we already know the evils and limitations
of such currency markets
and have no need to learn the same lessons all over again.
These single asset-backed currencies and the markets dependent on them
are patently unfair to over five billion people,
and a full 1.2 billion of the world's poorest people are unable to
thrive,
compete,
come to market,
access banking services
and have currency options
that respect and reflect their status as producers.

The National Credit
by Anna Von Reitz
Thu, 11 Oct 2018 13:06:21 -0800
There are milestones in every life.
For me,
a woman plagued by shyness,
a big one came yesterday.
I made my first
YouTube video.
You can imagine the stress that put me under.
It is under five minutes long.
My dog could pant and roll over and be more entertaining,
but... the information is crucial.
Go to YouTube and look up "The National Credit".
That's right -- The National Credit, not the National Debt.
I am not confused,
but everyone else sure seems to be.
A Federal Reserve Note is a Promissory Note -- an I.O.U.
When you accept an I.O.U. as "payment" for actual goods and services,
a debt is created and assessed against the party offering the I.O.U.
So that is the source of the "National Debt" that has accrued to the
Territorial and Municipal United States and the Federal Reserve since
1913.
They have been getting something --
actual goods and services --
for nothing but paper and hot air.
So, yes, their "National Debt" is actual, factual debt
and that debt accrues interest, etc., like any other debt.
And most of that debt is owed to us,
the American States and People of this country.
We are by far their Priority Creditors.
On our side of the ledger --
the side of the living people and the actual States --
the credit owed to us for our goods and services continues to be owed
and collects interest.
So we get richer and they get poorer with every transaction that occurs.
However,
we have been "blocked" from having access to our wealth and instead,
our purported "Trustees" have been using our accumulated wealth as a
gigantic investment fund.
They have used it to secure majority ownership interest in all the
Fortune 500 Companies and to rig commodity markets
including currency markets from here to Bangkok and we've never seen a
dime.
Instead, all we hear is
the Territorial and Municipal United States officials
poor mouthing about their "National Debt"
and more than a few of us assume that
the "U.S. National Debt" is something we owe --
when in fact, it is mostly owed to us.
And here we are,
rich beyond Midas on paper and in terms of actual assets,
working like dumb animals in a treadmill,
and our purported Trustees (the Popes and British Monarchs and the
members of "the" United States Congress)
and their bankers are sitting like cats in cream enjoying our money and
exercising our power "for" us,
bilking us, reducing us to poverty, and ignoring the National Debt of
our subcontractors.
But we have news for them and good news for Mr. Trump.
At least nine-tenths of his "National Debt" is owed to us.
We are his Priority Creditors.
And we have enough money and credit on the books to:
- wipe away the U.S. National Debt like a fly-speck; or
- simply forgive the debt and get him out of hock and
out from under the thumb and forefingers of any international
bankruptcy trustees.
And then, maybe,
with a renewed sense of duty and understanding of how this country is
supposed to work,
we can combine forces to put the rest of the screws where they need to
go.
That is the import and meaning of my first YouTube video addressed to
President Donald J. Trump and the American People.
Basically -- let's stop being stupid.
Reconcile the accounts and go after the crooks.
Make America great again.
Make the whole world great again.
The "Historic" Trusts
by Anna von Reitz
Fri, 12 Oct 2018 22:24:13 -0800
The banks did something deplorable, criminal, inexcusable.
It wasn't the first time.
They pretended that actual assets left "on Special Deposit"
in their banks were "abandoned" simply because nobody had used
or inquired about the assets in a long time.
Of course,
there was no contractual obligation on the part of the Depositors to
meet any schedule of contact with the bank,
but the banks acted upon the theory that if Depositors didn't walk
through the doors as often as they
or someone in the Legislature thought they should --
well,
of course,
those assets had to be "abandoned",
"lost",
"unclaimed".
It's basically the same schtick they have applied to all the
"missing"
American babies who were born on our shores
and who magically "disappeared"
(on paper)
and whose good names
and estates were then labelled "Disregarded entities" for the
purposes of fraud,
racketeering,
and theft.
After cobbling up this after-the fact requirement,
which was never disclosed to the Depositors,
the banks then seized those private account assets for the bank's use,
and the bank gambled with those assets
and made use of these private deposits to underwrite lending,
which the bank multiplied according to the rules of "fractional
reserve" banking --
thus benefiting itself many times over with no risk
or expense for itself
and no consideration for the actual owners of the assets.
All of this took place with no notice given to the actual owners.
And as the banks had unlawfully
and without authorization made use of these private assets for
investment purposes,
and those investments were often time-dependent
and had to be left in various funds for various lengths of time,
the discovery of their malfeasance was a constant worry.
So they came up with a new label,
"Historic Trusts"
or "Legacy Trusts"
and they cut a deal with the "governmental services
corporations" officially allowing them to steal the trust assets
and block the actual owners from accessing the assets.
If you care to look,
you will see that many "State of State" organizations
did the same thing with your Birth Certificates,
labeling them "Legacy Certificates"
or "Legacy Trusts".
And just like all of us waking up
and saying --
"WT -- do you think you are doing?"
The actual owners,
trustees,
and beneficiaries of all these so-called "Historic Trusts"
have rumbled awake.
The owners of the defrauded trusts are more then willing to pay
handsomely for the return of their assets --
more than the banks would ever share.
So this is another avenue of help for Mr.
Trump.
I have an "Historic Trust Association" of asset holders who
have been robbed by the banks.
Just one account in one of these trusts is enough to fund recoupment of
all of them,
and access to enough money to run our entire government including the
military for two hundred years.
And it is all good,
clean money with known provenance.
The Trustees are ready to make a deal.
Again, I say, let's stop being stupid.
We have the records,
we have the provenance,
we have the proof.
When people see that we mean business
and that their deposits are going to be protected in America,
they will bring their money here,
just as they have been bringing it to Iceland.
Between what we can do for you in terms of crediting
and/or forgiving the
U.S. Debt, Mr. Trump,
and what we can do for you in terms of delivering hard assets,
its pretty apparent that we "Tin Hats" hold the cards that
you need and have done our homework for many years.
If you are serious about making American Great Again
and are open to doing it without World War III,
you need to find a conference table with two seats.

More Practical Help for State Nationals -- Banking
By Anna Von Reitz 2019-12-21 19:17
In order to get by and thrive in life, you have to have a reasonable concern
for "the other fellow" --- your family, your workmates, and yes, public
employees, shopkeepers, veterinarians.... the list goes on. You also have to
deal with bankers.
Most of the problems people are having with banks --- at least those that come
over my desk --- are self-created and can be fixed just as quickly as they
start.
Let's review some basics.
You are allowed by law to transact your business as you wish. You can, by law,
use Federal Reserve Notes or United States Notes, either one. So, why not
choose to use the lawful currency, United States Notes? This helps pay down the
so-called "National Debt" and helps everyone in this country, including you.
The use of United States Notes presents a paper problem for the bank, because
at any given time, most banks don't stock a lot of United States Notes, and
they are worried that you are going to walk up to their cashier and want to
cash out your account in United States Notes. If they ask, assure them that
that is not your intention.
Not having enough United States Notes on hand could be a cause of embarrassment
for the banks, or worse, cause people to think the bank is insolvent, etc., and
cause a "bank run".
In reality, that is an extremely unlikely scenario, and denominating the funds
in your accounts as United States Notes isn't actually the worry of the
individual banks, because the government backs those denominated funds
internationally as SDRs.
So, no actual worries for the banks, and you are, meanwhile, paying down the
National Debt and making sure that your funds won't be subject to any bail-outs
or bail-ins or other shenanigans.
If you bank is edgy about your decision to denominate the funds in your
accounts as United States Notes, just sit them down and explain what I just
explained to you. Many small town bankers are not all that familiar with the
currency laws and the use of United States Notes. Set them at ease. It's your
decision.
Next point.....
There is no reason to be scared of using a Social Security Account Number when
setting up a bank account. The banks use this information to insure against
losses, but if they get caught doing anything inappropriate with your Social
Security Account, they get fried and served for lunch.
Social Security Numbers function as both CUSIPS and AUTOTRIS account numbers.
The familiar version with dashes is the CUSIP account set aside for making
charges. The much-less familiar AUTOTRIS version without dashes is the credit
side of things. This is a direct demand account that FDR established "for" you
without your knowledge or consent and dubbed a "special trust account" --- that
you haven't known about or had access to. How convenient.
This "special trust account" was created by Executive Order 2039 and
technically applied only to Municipal Employees....but via non-disclosure and
fraud, the perpetrators entrapped almost everyone and then used it as the
excuse to steal your name, your assets, your rights, and in many instances,
even your lives.
That "trust account" is yours and it's time that you had the benefit of it.
So understand and make sure the bank understands that when they ask for your
Social Security Number that they are asking for access to your trust account
and to your Signature for their use as a rubber stamp---let them know that you
are aware of what they are doing and that you will hold them individually 100%
commercially liable if they do anything at all inappropriate with this
information. To clip their wings be sure to use a "byline" and "without
prejudice" and a small copyright notice (a small "c" surrounded by a circle)
when you sign the Signature Card.
That identifies that particular signature as your own unique creation and
places it under your private copyright. That means that not only will they be
fried and served for dinner if they mess with your account, they will be
deep-fat fried.
With that caveat, go forth and conquer.
The exact verbiage to safely endorse the back of a check and denominate the
funds in "lawful money" --- is:
By:_________________________ (c)
All rights reserved. Redeemed in lawful
money. 12 USC 411.
Please note that I don't have a copyright symbol in this program so the (c)
above should actually be a small "c" that is completely encircled.
Use your Upper and Lower Case Signature to sign checks, like you were taught in
school, and don't use any exotic punctuation or odd or inappropriate
abbreviations like "ar" or "LS".
After all --- "ar" might mean "all rejected" or anything else at all, and "LS"
--- "Living Soul" certainly doesn't belong on a check.
Also consider that if you were a bank and someone was placing a restriction on
their signature using unknown abbreviations, you would have cause to be
alarmed, too.
Just think about what you are doing and in which arena you are operating and
play it straight. Most banks are aware of their fiscal responsibility to their
customers and are only asking that you be reasonable and explicit --that is,
honest, about what you are doing and what you expect of them in return.
So spell it out. Say, "All rights reserved." or "Without prejudice". That's
perfectly okay for you to say or do and nobody should have any concern about
that --- but "ar" or "wp" won't do.
Admittedly, if you get numerous checks you could get writer's cramp doing
endorsements, so get a self-inking rubber stamp at a copy shop, and all you
have to do is add your signature.
Finally, you should be aware that there advantages to running your affairs as a
small independent business which are "corporate" but not "incorporated". This
places your business squarely in the realm of international trade, which offers
you protections when conducting business with commercial (incorporated)
corporations and makes it clear that you are not subject to commercial
presumptions.
Ah, so. When a commercial corporation tries to attack you or seize your bank
account they find it to be a much more difficult proposition. Most of them,
including the IRS and other privateers prefer to go after lower hanging fruit.
If you are dealing with a commercial bank (most are) they will want you to have
a business license when setting up an account, which is to protect them, not
you. But having met that hurdle for a time, and presuming that you are
conducting your business exclusively with lawful money, you can let the license
lapse and operate as a truly private business, even though you are using the
services of a commercial bank.
The commercial corporations can mess with their own script and control their
own affairs and employees within reasonable limits. The transition from a
licensed small business with limited commercial obligations to a private
business functioning entirely in the realm of international trade should be
viewed as similar to the transition when you move from one state or country to
another.
Most banks are dependent on small businesses which by far employ the greatest
number of people in any given community and which generate the lion's share of
GDP. The last thing they want to do is drive your business away.
That said, the banks need to get their act together, too, and show you the care
and respect that you deserve. If they treat you well and keep your accounts
secure, they've done their job. If not, the pendulum swings and other
alternatives must and will be sought.
I have a very handy reference on my desk that shows how to convert a "Federal"
Credit Union into a State Credit Union --- and I am not talking about a "State
of State" Credit Union, I am talking about an actual State Credit Union.
Credit Unions naturally belong in the realm of international trade and are
perfect for the needs of average people and small businesses. Most of us would
be well-served and well-advised to do most, if not all, of our business with
credit unions as a result. We simply do not need the array of services and
regulations associated with big commercial banks.
So just sit down for a few minutes out of your life and think seriously about
what is best for you and for your country. How do you want to conduct business?
What services do you need? How are you going to sign your checks? Which
currency will you use? What impact does that decision have on your funds and
accounts--- and on your country?
Although money and often, lack of it, consumes an inordinate amount of effort
and concern in our lives, we are taught almost nothing about it in school ----
for the simple reason that what you don't know benefits crooks and leaves you
more vulnerable to pirates.
When you think about the efforts that you make to earn money, doesn't it make
sense that you should think about what money is? What credit is? What
securities are? How banks work? How important is your signature? How can it be
abused?
There are many questions that most Americans never ask and we really should ---
for our own sake and the sake of our country, too.
Most people choose a bank at random. They go to that bank because their parents
went to that bank, or because some high-flyer friend uses it, or because its on
the way home. That's not the way to choose a bank.
Banks are run by people and you want a bank that shares your values and which
offers the services you need.
For most of us, that means we want a bank that is operating under a State
Charter and which has been in business for a long time serving people just like
us.
Let's face it, most of us have no reason or need or ability to be transferring
millions of dollars around the globe, so why would we take our business to one
of the huge, glitzy commercial banks?
No. Most of us need a Mom and Pop bank or credit union, one that is locally
chartered and controlled by actual people that we either know, or can get to
know.
Most of the bankers I have met in my lifetime are extremely lonely people. Most
of them really do care about their communities and their employees and the
services they provide. Within the weird world of a credit-debt currency system
and double accrual accounting, they are doing the best they can.
And they love it when they get an "Attaboy!" or "Attagirl!"
So instead of treating your bank like a convenient public toilet, stop a moment
and think about your bank. What do you really know about it? It's history? Who
runs it? The laws and regulations that impact it?
If you have questions or concerns --- ask, discuss, learn. Most bankers are
happy to share their expertise and will give good advice if they are asked.
As with any other human endeavor, you have Good Guys and Bad Guys.
So take the time to actually think about your bank and your banking needs and
do some research and soul-searching. It's your money and your credit----and
your life.
How do you want to conduct your business to best benefit yourself, your
community, and your country as a whole?
