The Bankruptcy of The United States
United States Congressional Record, March 17, 1993 Vol. 33, page H-1303

Speaker-Rep. James Traficant, Jr. (Ohio) addressing the House:

"Mr. Speaker, we are here now in chapter 11.. Members of Congress are
official trustees presiding over the greatest reorganization of any Bankrupt
entity in world history, the U.S. Government. We are setting forth hopefully,
a blueprint for our future. There are some who say it is a coroner's
report that will lead to our demise.

It is an established fact that the United States Federal Government has
been dissolved by the Emergency Banking Act, March 9, 1933, 48 Stat. 1,
Public Law 89-719; declared by President Roosevelt, being bankrupt and
insolvent. H.J.R. 192, 73rd Congress m session June 5, 1933 - Joint Resolution To
Suspend The Gold Standard and Abrogate The Gold Clause dissolved the
Sovereign Authority of the United States and the official capacities of all United
States Governmental Offices, Officers, and Departments and is further
evidence that the United States Federal Government exists today in name only.

The receivers of the United States Bankruptcy are the International
Bankers, via the United Nations, the World Bank and the International Monetary
Fund. All United States Offices, Officials, and Departments are now operating
within a de facto status in name only under Emergency War Powers. With the
Constitutional Republican form of Government now dissolved, the receivers
of the Bankruptcy have adopted a new form of government for the United
States. This new form of government is known as a Democracy, being an
established Socialist/Communist order under a new governor for America. This act was
instituted and established by transferring and/or placing the Office of
the Secretary of Treasury to that of the Governor of the International
Monetary Fund. Public Law 94-564, page 8, Section H.R. 13955 reads in part: "The
U.S. Secretary of Treasury receives no compensation for representing the
United States?'

Gold and silver were such a powerful money during the founding of the
united states of America, that the founding fathers declared that only gold or
silver coins can be "money" in America. Since gold and silver coinage were
heavy and inconvenient for a lot of transactions, they were stored in banks
and a claim check was issued as a money substitute. People traded their
coupons as money, or "currency." Currency is not money, but a money
substitute. Redeemable currency must promise to pay a dollar equivalent in gold or
silver money. Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs) make no such promises, and are
not "money." A Federal Reserve Note is a debt obligation of the federal
United States government, not "money?' The federal United States government and
the U.S. Congress were not and have never been authorized by the
Constitution for the united states of America to issue currency of any kind, but only
lawful money, -gold and silver coin.

It is essential that we comprehend the distinction between real money and
paper money substitute. One cannot get rich by accumulating money
substitutes, one can only get deeper into debt. We the People no longer have any
"money." Most Americans have not been paid any "money" for a very long time,
perhaps not in their entire life. Now do you comprehend why you feel broke?
Now, do you understand why you are "bankrupt," along with the rest of the
country?

Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs) are unsigned checks written on a closed
account. FRNs are an inflatable paper system designed to create debt through
inflation (devaluation of currency). when ever there is an increase of the
supply of a money substitute in the economy without a corresponding increase
in the gold and silver backing, inflation occurs.

Inflation is an invisible form of taxation that irresponsible governments
inflict on their citizens. The Federal Reserve Bank who controls the supply
and movement of FRNs has everybody fooled. They have access to an
unlimited supply of FRNs, paying only for the printing costs of what they need.
FRNs are nothing more than promissory notes for U.S. Treasury securities
(T-Bills) - a promise to pay the debt to the Federal Reserve Bank.

There is a fundamental difference between "paying" and "discharging" a
debt. To pay a debt, you must pay with value or substance (i.e. gold, silver,
barter or a commodity). With FRNs, you can only discharge a debt. You
cannot pay a debt with a debt currency system. You cannot service a debt with a
currency that has no backing in value or substance. No contract in Common
law is valid unless it involves an exchange of "good & valuable
consideration." Unpayable debt transfers power and control to the sovereign power
structure that has no interest in money, law, equity or justice because they
have so much wealth already.

Their lust is for power and control. Since the inception of central
banking, they have controlled the fates of nations.

The Federal Reserve System is based on the Canon law and the principles of
sovereignty protected in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. In fact,
the international bankers used a "Canon Law Trust" as their model, adding
stock and naming it a "Joint Stock Trust." The U.S. Congress had passed a
law making it illegal for any legal "person" to duplicate a "Joint Stock
Trust" in 1873. The Federal Reserve Act was legislated post-facto (to 1870),
although post-facto laws are strictly forbidden by the Constitution. [1:9:3]

The Federal Reserve System is a sovereign power structure separate and
distinct from the federal United States government. The Federal Reserve is a
maritime lender, and/or maritime insurance underwriter to the federal United
States operating exclusively under Admiralty/Maritime law. The lender or
underwriter bears the risks, and the Maritime law compelling specific
performance in paying the interest, or premiums are the same.

Assets of the debtor can also be hypothecated (to pledge something as a
security without taking possession of it.) as security by the lender or
underwriter. The Federal Reserve Act stipulated that the interest on the debt
was to be paid in gold. There was no stipulation in the Federal Reserve Act
for ever paying the principle.

Prior to 1913, most Americans owned clear, allodial title to property,
free and clear of any liens or mortgages until the Federal Reserve Act (1913)

"Hypothecated" all property within the federal United States to the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve, -in which the Trustees (stockholders)
held legal title. The U.S. citizen (tenant, franchisee) was registered as a
"beneficiary" of the trust via his/her birth certificate. In 1933, the
federal United States hypothecated all of the present and future properties,
assets and labor of their "subjects," the 14th Amendment U.S. citizen, to
the Federal Reserve System.

In return, the Federal Reserve System agreed to extend the federal United
States corporation all the credit "money substitute" it needed. Like any
other debtor, the federal United States government had to assign collateral
and security to their creditors as a condition of the loan. Since the
federal United States didn't have any assets, they assigned the private property
of their "economic slaves", the U.S. citizens as collateral against the
unpayable federal debt. They also pledged the unincorporated federal
territories, national parks forests, birth certificates, and nonprofit
organizations, as collateral against the federal debt. All has already been transferred
as payment to the international bankers.

Unwittingly, America has returned to its pre-American Revolution, feudal
roots whereby all land is held by a sovereign and the common people had no
rights to hold allodial title to property. Once again, We the People are
the tenants and sharecroppers renting our own property from a Sovereign in
the guise of the Federal Reserve Bank. We the people have exchanged one
master for another.

This has been going on for over eighty years without the "informed
knowledge" of the American people, without a voice protesting loud enough. Now
it's easy to grasp why America is fundamentally bankrupt.

Why don't more people own their properties outright?

Why are 90% of Americans mortgaged to the hilt and have little or no
assets after all debts and liabilities have been paid? Why does it feel like you
are working harder and harder and getting less and less?

We are reaping what has been sown, and the results of our harvest is a
painful bankruptcy, and a foreclosure on American property, precious
liberties, and a way of life. Few of our elected representatives in Washington, D.C.
have dared to tell the truth. The federal United States is bankrupt. Our
children will inherit this unpayable debt, and the tyranny to enforce paying
it.

America has become completely bankrupt in world leadership, financial
credit and its reputation for courage, vision and human rights. This is an
undeclared economic war, bankruptcy, and economic slavery of the most corrupt
order! Wake up America! Take back your
Country."
