On March 17, 1993, on page 1303 of Volume 33 of the Congressional Record, Congressman Traficant stated: “Mr. Speaker, We are now here 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.” The “U.S. government” is the government domiciled in the District of Columbia, which at various times purports to represent three distinct entities: 1. the US Corporation formed as we have just seen and as documented at Title 28, 3002, (15) (A) (B) (C). 2. the Continental United States defined as the 50 States United –a confederation of separate nation states operating the land jurisdiction, and 3. the Federal United States defined as the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, et alia along with the corporate franchise “Federal States” set up in each of the land‐based states. In this comment Congressman Traficant was including all three primary meanings of “U.S. Government” as the term “General Government” or “U.S. Government” with a capital “G” is traditionally used in the Congressional Record when this meaning is applied‐‐‐‐however, and this is the supremely salient point, there is no indication that the Several (now) 50 States United were ever bankrupted except as “presumed” voluntary adjuncts. FDR and his Buddies pulled the semantic deceit of all time. The actual entity in bankruptcy in 1933 was the foreign government of the Federal United States allowed under the Downes and Bidwell decision and several other Supreme Court cases known as the Insular Tariff Cases circa 1900‐1904. Like “South America” these Federal “states” can claim to be “American” and they can form a “Union” of their own‐‐‐and they did so. They have been operating as “the United States of America (Minor)” and as a “constitutional Democracy” since the 1980’s. The problem with a Constitutional Democracy is that if 51% of your neighbors want to eat you for breakfast or steal your home, they can do so—and that is the form of government operating in the Federal United States now. We, the people inhabiting the Continental United States, are owed a Republican form of government which upholds the sacred rights of individuals and abhors mob rule. And therein lies the rub. That, and the gross deceit involved in having two separate nations operating under the same umbrella by the same group of people (the “United States Congress”) and under virtually the same name. Often, the only way you can tell the two entities apart is the word “the”. It’s The United States of America (Major) and the United States of America (Minor). Using the same name, “United States of America” allowed a great deal of self‐interested confusion and corruption, including Confusion at Law. Its immediate effect during the onset of the bankruptcy of the Federal United States was to transfer control of these States and – completely by semantic deceit and misrepresentation‐‐‐ the de jure Continental United States, too, as they appeared to be named as parties to the bankruptcy‐‐‐ into the hands of the Creditors (the Federal Reserve Banks and later IMF and IBRD) and their Agents administering the bankruptcy under the authority the Secretary of the Treasury of Puerto Rico. The perpetrators of this plot deliberately misrepresented their Employers‐‐‐ the landed States and the Continental State Citizens as “voluntary sureties” for the debts of the bankrupted “United States of America, Inc.”‐‐‐‐ without telling us one word about it, without making any clear and honest disclosure of the circumstance, without even admitting that an international banking cartel had interjected itself as a “middleman” between the actual States and People who pay all the bills of the Federal United States and the agencies responsible for carrying out the duties owed.
