Stealing from the Citizenry
How Government Goons Use Civil Asset Forfeiture to Rob Us Blind By John W. Whitehead March 20, 2017
"In modern-day America, greedy government goons steal from the innocent to give to the corrupt under court- and legislature-sanctioned schemes called civil asset forfeiture. In fact, according to The Washington Post, “law enforcement took more stuff from people than burglars did.”This is how the American police state continues to get rich: by stealing from the citizenry.

Switzerland Follows Iceland In Declaring War Against The ...
By Isaac Davis
“If you want to continue to be slaves of the banks and pay the cost of your own slavery, then let bankers continue to create money and control credit.” – Josiah Stamp
Iceland has gained the admiration of populists in recent years by doing that which no other nation in the world seems to be willing or capable of doing: prosecuting criminal bankers for engineering financial collapse for profit.
Their effective revolt against the banking class, who drove the tiny nation into economic crisis in 2008, is the brightest example yet that the world does not have to be indebted in perpetuity to an austere and criminal wealthy elite. In 2015, 26 Icelandic bankers were sentenced to prison and the government ordered a bank sale to benefit the citizenry.
Inspired by Iceland’s progress, activists in Switzerland are now making an important stand against the banking cartels
and have successfully petitioned to bring an initiative to public
referendum that would attack the private banks where it matters most: their power to lend money they don’t actually have, and to create money out of thin air.
Reserve banking is the policy that guarantees insurmountable debt as the outcome of all financial transactions.
The Sovereign Money initiative in Switzerland aims to curb financial speculation, which is the intended and inevitable result of reserve banking, the tool that makes financial adventurism possible by supplying the banks with endless quantities of fiat money.
Limiting a bank’s ability to produce money from nothing would be a direct blow to the roots of the banking cartel, and would cripple their ability to manipulate the world economy. Here’s how it works, in rather simplified terms:
This is an interesting twist in the human saga of man vs. banks, and while it remains to be seen if the referendum passes or not, it must be pointed out that it does have its own problems, articulated by Sam Gerrans:
Yet, there are a number of other possibilities for trading, storing wealth, and facilitating development in the world. This is not the only economic system we can imagine, and as Iceland has proven, people can regain control of their collective wealth, so perhaps this revolution will foment further in Switzerland, presenting a chance to at least bring greater awareness to the truth about central banking.

In 2015, 26 Icelandic bankers were sentenced to prison and the government ordered a bank sale to benefit the citizenry.
Switzerland will hold a referendum to decide whether to ban commercial banks from creating money.Switzerland is in a key position to play a revolutionary role in changing how global banking functions. In addition to being the world’s safest harbor for storing wealth, it is also home to the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), a shadowy private company owned by many of the world’s central banks, and acting as a lender to the central banks. The BIS is the very heart of global reserve banking, the policy that enables banks to lend money that does not actually exist in their bank deposits, but is instead literally created electronically from nothing whenever a bank extends a line of credit.
The Swiss federal government confirmed on Thursday that it would hold a plebiscite, after more than 110,000 people signed a petition calling for the central bank to be given sole power to create money in the financial system.
The campaign – led by the Swiss Sovereign Money movement and known as the Vollgeld initiative – is designed to limit financial speculation by requiring private banks to hold 100pc reserves against their deposits. [The Telegraph]

…if we had access to the same computer terminals the banks have, we could magic in or out of existence all the imaginary stuff we are trained to think of as important – money – in whatever quantities we liked.In Switzerland, 90% of all money in circulation is electronic, and for this, The National Bank of Switzerland has become the direct target of the Sovereign Money Campaign. Swiss law has in the past required required banks to back all currency creation with collateral assets like physical silver or gold, however in recent decades the climate has changed, and, “due to the emergence of electronic payment transactions, banks have regained the opportunity to create their own money.”
This is how it works: when they print quite a lot of this stuff there is a boom. When they print too much of it, there is inflation (actually, the printing of money is inflation). When they stop printing it or simply hold on to it, there is a depression. [Source]
You’ll be kicking yourself for not picking up silver at these prices (Ad)
The grassroots campaign said in a public statement regarding the intentions of the referendum, “banks won’t be able to create money for themselves any more, they’ll only be able to lend money that they have from savers or other banks.”This is an interesting twist in the human saga of man vs. banks, and while it remains to be seen if the referendum passes or not, it must be pointed out that it does have its own problems, articulated by Sam Gerrans:
… it does say that the central bank should be given sole right to create money. This would essentially leave the creation of money in the same hands as those who control the Federal Reserve or the Bank of England rather than allow them to farm out the process. But at least it shows that people are beginning to wake up to where the true power lies.Part of the cultural conditioning of our time is an ingrained, presumed dependency on sacred cow institutions like banking. Just like it is impossible for most Americans to envision a world without Democrats and Republicans, it is difficult for most people to imagine a world without predatory global banking.
In the unlikely event that this grass-roots movement in Switzerland should get its way and its proposed legislation be enacted, and then begin to morph into something which really does threaten the banking elite, we must not be surprised if Switzerland is shortly discovered to be harboring weapons of mass destruction, or to have masterminded 9/11, or to be financing Islamic State.
Yet, there are a number of other possibilities for trading, storing wealth, and facilitating development in the world. This is not the only economic system we can imagine, and as Iceland has proven, people can regain control of their collective wealth, so perhaps this revolution will foment further in Switzerland, presenting a chance to at least bring greater awareness to the truth about central banking.

IT’S WHAT YOU SCATTER
IT’S WHAT YOU SCATTER
;
I was at the corner grocery store buying some early potatoes... I noticed a small boy, delicate of bone and feature, ragged but clean, hungrily apprising a basket of freshly picked green peas.
;
I paid for my potatoes but was also drawn to the display of fresh green peas. I am a pushover for creamed peas and new potatoes.
;
Pondering the peas, I couldn't help overhearing the conversation between Mr. Miller (the store owner) and the ragged boy next to me.
;
'Hello Barry! How are you today?'
;
'H'lo, Mr. Miller. Fine, thank ya. Jus' admirin' them peas. They sure look good'
'They are good, Barry. How’s your Ma?’
'Fine. Gittin' stronger alla' time.’
'Good. Anything I can help you with?’
'No, Sir. Jus' admirin' them peas.’
'Would you like to take some home?’ asked Mr. Miller.
;
'No, Sir. Got nuthin' to pay for 'em with.'
;
'Well, what have you to trade me for some of those peas?'
;
'All I got's my prize marble here.'
;
'Is that right? Let me see it', said Miller.
;
'Here 'tis. She's a dandy.'
;
'I can see that. Hmmmmm, only thing is this one is blue and I sort of go for red. Do you have a red one like this at home?' the store owner asked.
;
'Not zackley but almost.'
;
'Tell you what. Take this sack of peas home with you and next trip this way let me look at that red marble,' Mr. Miller told the boy.
;
'Sure will. Thanks Mr. Miller.'
;
Mrs. Miller, who had been standing nearby, came over to help me.
;
With a smile she said, 'There are two other boys like him in our community. All three are in very poor circumstances. Jim just loves to bargain with them for peas, apples, tomatoes or whatever.
;
When they come back with their red marbles, and they always do, he decides he doesn't like red after all and he sends them home with a bag of produce for a green marble or an orange one, when they come on their next trip to the store.'
;
I left the store smiling to myself, impressed with this man. A short time later I moved to Colorado, but I never forgot the story of this man, the boys, and their bartering for marbles.
;
Several years went by, each more rapid than the previous one. Just recently I had occasion to visit some old friends in that Idaho community and while I was there learned that Mr. Miller had died. They were having his visitation that evening and knowing my friends wanted to go, I agreed to accompany them. Upon arrival at the mortuary we fell into line to meet the relatives of the deceased and to offer whatever words of comfort we could.
;
Ahead of us in line were three young men. One was in an army uniform and the other two wore nice haircuts, dark suits and white shirts...all very professional looking. They approached Mrs. Miller, standing composed and smiling by her husband's casket.
;
Each of the young men hugged her, kissed her on the cheek, spoke briefly with her and moved on to the casket. Her misty light blue eyes followed them as, one by one; each young man stopped briefly and placed his own warm hand over the cold pale hand in the casket. Each left the mortuary awkwardly, wiping his eyes.
;
Our turn came to meet Mrs. Miller. I told her who I was and reminded her of the story from those many years ago and what she had told me about her husband's bartering for marbles. With her eyes glistening, she took my hand and led me to the casket.
;
'Those three young men who just left were the boys I told you about.
;
They just told me how they appreciated the things Jim 'traded' them. Now, at last, when Jim could not change his mind about color or size....they came to pay their debt.'
;
'We've never had a great deal of the wealth of this world,' she confided, 'but right now, Jim would consider himself the richest man in Idaho ...'
;
With loving gentleness she lifted the lifeless fingers of her deceased husband. Resting underneath were three exquisitely shined red marbles.
;
The Moral:
We will not be remembered by our words, but by our kind deeds.
Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath.
Today I wish you a day of ordinary miracles:
A fresh pot of coffee you didn't make yourself...
;An unexpected phone call from an old friend...
Green stoplights on your way to work....
;The fastest line at the grocery store....
A good sing-along song on the radio...
;Your keys found right where you left them.
;
Now, send this to the people you'll never forget. I just did...
If you don't send it to anyone, it means you are in way too much of a hurry to even notice the ordinary miracles when they occur.
IT'S NOT WHAT YOU GATHER, BUT WHAT YOU SCATTER THAT TELLS WHAT KIND OF LIFE YOU HAVE LIVED!
YOU HAVE TOUCHED MY LIFE, MORE THAN YOU KNOW FOR THAT I SAY THANK YOU!
What do average Americans think of Trump’s job so far?
77+% of voters agree on Trump (Hint: Liberals hate this)
The mainstream media wants you to believe that President Donald Trump is extremely unpopular. Since the election, the liberal spin machine has been on full attack.
Democrats and the liberal media refused to give Trump a chance to lead, and began attacking his leadership immediately.
But does the average American agree?
No — and it’s not even close.
77.07% of voters gave Trump an “A – Great” rating for his first fifty days, according to a recent poll of The Horn News readers.
Another 18.77% gave him a “B – Above Average.”
That means only 4.16% of the over 13,700 voters that responded rated Trump a “C – Average” or below, while more than 95% reported being very happy with his presidency.
Of course, don’t take our word for it. The Horn News readers are mostly conservatives, after all.
So what do average Americans think of Trump’s job so far?
According to Monday’s Rasmussen Report Daily Presidential Tracking Poll, they’re thrilled, too. 50% of polled voters approved of Trump’s job so far — a significant improvement from former President Barack Obama’s average approval ratings during his second term.

Subject: About the Supposedly "Missing" Original 13th Amendment.... A Recap of the Scam
It's
true that there is another 13th Amendment", but it's not missing and
the circumstance is not exactly as people are interpreting it. They
think that there is one Constitution and that the so-called "original
13th Amendment" was ratified and then mysteriously disappeared.
In
fact, there are two different constitutions involved. The Titles of
Nobility Amendment was ratified by the original land jurisdiction states
in 1819 and became part of The Constitution for the united States of America.
It was not included in the look-alike, sound-alike Federal (Territorial) Constitution published in 1868 as the Constitution of the United States of America. Instead, the 13th Amendment to that document was the one consenting to the abolition of slavery everyone is familiar with.
In addition, there is also a Federal (Municipal) Constitution called the Constitution of the United States.
This is the "Constitution" that YOUR Congressmen and Senators are
taking their oaths to----hence the reason that they are not concerned
about honoring the other constitutions, are not responsive to your
needs, and don't represent you.
The lawyers,
the Popes, the British Crown, and the British Monarch all pushed and
supported the Federal Territorial Constitution, because under its
provisions the Pope's bill collectors and the British Monarch's
"maritime fleet" could continue to be here and work without being
prohibited from holding office or facing other penalties resulting from
the conflict of interest that is part of their membership in the BAR
Associations and loyalties to the British Monarch.
If
you go back to The Definitive Treaty of Peace, Paris, 1783 which ended
the Revolutionary War, you will see that there are two populations
present---- the "free, sovereign, and independent people of the United
States" and the "inhabitants"---British soldiers, bureaucrats, and
Tories loyal to the King, who are left here after the war to provide
"essential government services". The same language is then echoed in
the actual Constitution in Article IV.
Thus
there have always been two groups --- the American people living in
their fifty separate states collectively known as "the people of the
united States of America" and the "United States Citizens" who merely
reside among us in order to provide the nineteen services delegated to
them under the original equity contract ---- The Constitution for the
united States of America.
The patriots and the Tories have lived together cheek and jowl ever since.
The
illegal mercenary conflict known euphemistically as the "American Civil
War" was actually a fight between these two opposing groups and the
various European banks that had dogs in the fight. At the end of this
illegal "war-in-name-only" the Southern States lay in ruins and the
Northern States were bankrupt and under receivership of bank-appointed
Trustees.
The United States of America would
not re-emerge from bankruptcy until 1907. Note the capital "t" on The
United States of America. Meanwhile, a federal corporation named "the
United States of America" would operate as its doppelganger.
While
the Carpetbaggers ravaged the South, bank Trustees operating as members
of "Congress" raped and pillaged the North, too. They have continued
this "cozy"-----and totally illegal ---- arrangement to the current
day. Ask the Congressional Research Service. The operative parts of
the Reconstruction Acts have never been repealed and are still in use.
It
was also during this time immediately following the end of the Civil
War that the venal court system got a toe-hold (May 1865) the Rump
Congress established ten military districts throughout the eleven
vanquished Southern States. The military commanders in charge of these
districts were allowed to appoint civilians loyal to the union cause to
serve as magistrates and judges in these "district" courts---- and so,
"United States" District Courts came into being, as opposed to Postal
District Courts, which the people are owed, and the international
jurisdiction of the sea (martial law) was imposed instead of the Common
Law.
Using these foreign law forms, the
perpetrators were able to summarily deprive people of their rights and
their property, just as they are doing today.
All
of this was accomplished under color of law, by constructive fraud, by
similar names deceit, and unlawful conversion of property interests
beginning in 1865. The perps have tried to justify this by claiming
that they and their government are in a constant state of "war" of some
kind or other, and claiming "war powers" that were never granted to
them, etc., etc., but in fact what started as fraud ends as fraud, as
fraud taints everything it touches and nullifies all resulting actions.
We are here today, 150 years later, cleaning up the results of the so-called Civil War.
It is high time we all knew and faced the facts.
President
Trump, as Commander-in-Chief, can shut down all the United States
District Courts and "federated" State of State Courts which also operate
under color of law on American soil. He can lawfully do away with the
problems he has encountered with the Circuit Courts bucking him. And
there is already US Supreme Court precedent deciding the issues:
Milligan Ex Parte, very clearly states, that when American Common Law
courts are present, the military courts must disappear.
And
so they did largely disappear for a period of years, from approximately
1880 to 1965, we had Federal (Postal District) Courts operating and
Federal Marshals protecting the undelegated powers of the states and the
people.
But the rats were hard at it, trying
to get in the grain again..... and they came up with "Federal Revenue
Sharing" and "Block Grants" as the bait to fully re-institute their
"Reconstruction" scenario and give full power to pillage and plunder to
their bogus maritime courts.
State of State
franchises had first been established under the auspices of the United
States of America, Inc. that was bankrupted by Roosevelt in 1933. These
were operated under names like "State of Wisconsin" and "State of
Minnesota" and also under names like "Elizabeth Emily Jacobsen" and
"Frederick William Sloane". When the parent corporation was declared
bankrupt, the "State of State" franchises were offered as sureties for
the debt. (Conference of Governors, March 6, 1933). Those State of
State organizations had placed undisclosed liens against our names and
our private property assets and had hypothecated debt against them, so,
the "US Trustees"---Federal Reserve, IBRD and World Bank appointees---
came in and seized title to literally everything in sight. For the
next 66 years, Americans would be forced to pay off the debts of a
mostly foreign, privately owned governmental services corporation and
never be told a word about what they supposedly agreed to or how their
participation in this scheme was secured via various adhesion contracts
that were misrepresented and non-disclosed and forced upon them as
"government mandates"---- social security, driver licenses, marriage
licenses, and registration of births.
But, the
government services still had to be provided, didn't they? So FDR
signed over the interest in the United States of America, Inc., and its
sureties to the IMF at Bretton Woods, and two years later, the IMF took
over as the UNITED STATES, INC. and fronted its very own franchises --
like the STATE OF WASHINGTON and the COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS. And
they followed in the footsteps of FDR to set up franchises named after
living Americans--- a vast crime of personage and unlawful conversion
and enslavement. This is where the all capital names -- which are
actually not names, but alphabetical account ledgers--- appeared. Thus
we have "MARTIN ALLAN SHEHAN" and "LUCY MAE SCHELLING" magically added
to the tax rolls and all interest in their property is rolled over and
"donated" to the IMF as abandoned property and the actual living people
of the same name are deemed to be "Account Holders" liable to pay the
debts of these concocted legal fiction entities.
Add
a crooked "double accrual accounting" bookkeeping system, whereby the
debts of "MARTIN ALLEN SHEHAN" are assiduously pursued by the IRS as
debts owed to the UNITED STATES and STATE OF CALIFORNIA, and the credits
owed to "MARTIN ALLEN SHEHAN" are just as promptly collected and
maintained by The Internal Revenue Service as a credit ledger that the
UNITED STATES and STATE OF CALIFORNIA can borrow against, and you have
the rest of the fraud in hand.
None of the
people thus victimized were ever told a word about any of this. They
never knowingly, willingly and with fully disclosed consent agreed to
any of it. It was all foisted off on them by crooked lawyers, crooked
bankers, and crooked politicians, enforced by crooked and/or unknowing
police forces, and shoved down to the tune of Yankee Doodle Dandy.
So
now here we are, the whistle has been blown, the non-existent "National
Debt" has been repudiated as an obvious fraud and odious debt. The
American people have finally stood up and said, "WTF is going on here?"
and President Donald J. Trump needs answers.
Our
Living Law Firm has plenty of answers. We are inviting President Trump
and his advisors to Philadelphia to see what we can all do to finally
straighten this 150 year-old mess out, regain control of our country,
restructure our international relationships, and fix the broken world
economy.
