Anna Von Reitz: "Understanding Source, Q and the Plan"

Understanding Source and Cause; Q and The Plan

Friday, November 29, 2019

By Anna Von Reitz

There are three (3) dates and three entities that every American should have cause to know and to memorize. All three occurred during The War of Independence.

The first is the publication of The Unanimous Declaration of Independence on 4 July 1776. This created "The Union" known as The United States.

The then-colonies redefined themselves over a period of years first as the "United Colonies" and later as "estates". The soil jurisdiction holdings were defined as private holdings of separate nations and the geographic bounds of what would become States were recognized as (e)states belonging to the people living within those boundaries, both as public and private holdings.

In the Roman system of nomenclature this gave rise to states including: new york, massachusetts, rhode island, new hampshire, etc. while in the English nomenclature, gave rise to New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, etc.

The second is the creation of The United States of America on 9 September 1776. This created "The Federation of States", an unincorporated Holding Company.

This secondary "union" represents the international land and sea jurisdiction which underlies the soil of each (e)state and the international powers accorded to each State which were combined for mutual aid and benefit. This Federation of unincorporated States is the "doing business as" name of the American States and People.

The third is the creation of the States of America on 1 March 1781. This Confederation of States was formed under The Articles of Confederation to serve as an incorporated business structure doing business in the global jurisdiction of the air under the charter of the Several States and in their mutual behalf.

Both The United States and The United States of America are unincorporated entities, free-standing and existing under the direct provisions of the sovereign States and People.

By contrast, the States of America was created as a separate chartered business enterprise of the Several States and People to provide essential government services in the realm of global commerce.

There is a clear progression and delegation of power inherent to this process.

The (e)states (national jurisdiction) gave rise to the States (international jurisdiction) and the States gave rise to The States of States (global commerce jurisdiction).

There is an equally distinct progress in kind.

The Union known as The United States is "corporate" in that is stands apart from each separate and sovereign (e)state and so is our Federation doing business as The United States of America, but neither one of these entities are incorporated. They are independent, free-standing entities that are designed to do mutual business for the (e)states of the living people and the Estates of the Lawful People of this country, in two separate jurisdictions: national and international, respectively.

The Confederation begun in 1781 is chartered by the individual States and incorporated by them using The Articles of Confederation.

The difference is akin to the difference between two independent businesses and a commercial corporation.

Thus you may think of Massachusetts as an independent business and The United States of America as a Federation of independent businesses. You may also think of Massachusetts and the People thereof as granting a charter to The State of Massachusetts and then authorizing its membership in a Confederation of similar state-of-state franchises doing business as the States of America.

So there are three (3) different entities right from the start, separate in name, separate in jurisdiction, separate in date of creation, and separate in kind: union, federation, confederation.

The United States, The United States of America, and the States of America each served a different function and were designed to operate in different capacities.

The United States, a union of states formed by Unanimous Declaration, derives its existence from the (e)states and living people of this country.

The United States of America derives its existence from the land jurisdiction States and the Lawful Persons known as People of each State.

The States of America derives its existence from the States and People granting charters to States-of-States and thence to their Confederation.

The States of America, the Confederation of States of States, is the missing piece that went off-line during the Civil War.

This country has been operating like a 12-cylinder engine firing on six cylinders ever since and nobody bothered to explain the situation to the populace so that this could be corrected.

Therein lies the specific Gross Breach of Trust amounting to Fraud which has been committed against us by our own Government Service Subcontractors and Employees, both Military and Federal Civil Service.

People often ask me about "Q" and "The Plan".

It seems like that elements in the Military and Intelligence Community have been working for some time to correct their operations and honor their actual service commitments; I have no argument against "Q" and their treatment of the Deep State Actors as criminals --- for such, they are.

This is not now and never has been about politics, race, religion, or much of anything other than fraud and commercial crimes.

This is about identity theft, impersonation, constructive fraud, unlawful conversion of assets, inland piracy, human trafficking, enslavement, illegal securitization, patent, trademark and copyright fraud and infringement, press-ganging, peonage, extortion, racketeering, kidnapping, collusion, conspiracy against the Constitutions and a host of other heinous crimes-- mostly of a commercial nature-- and all committed against the people of this country and our estates.

Perhaps it was the existence of 800 FEMA camps and industrial-scale foreign military operations staging out of Free Trade Zones within these United States that finally jolted at least some members of the Joint Chiefs awake and alerted patriotic members of the Officer Corps and Senior Enlisted.

Maybe it was our General Civil Orders issued in July of 2014, denying them all any plausible deniability, that kicked the football hard enough to get things moving.

So long as the ball is moving in the right direction, and the restoration of good order and public safety is secured, we can't complain about their initiative and the arrest of large numbers of criminals.

We estimate that if law already standing on the books were to be satisfied, upward of two million people in this country would have to be arrested and charged with heinous offenses against their fellow man and against the lawful government of this country.

We must, however, point out that these actions are not, by themselves, sufficient to restore the government we are heir to, nor to provide for its correct functioning.

In order to get the 12-cylinder engine back up and running, we have to assemble our States of the Union, we have to severally charter new American States of States, and restore the States of America Confederation in order to do that.

Beyond that, we must invest in educating a great many people about their actual government and their responsibility for it. Self-governance begins with attitudes learned and responsibilities accepted at home, at school, at work, and in the social fabric of a country. It cannot be achieved by the promotion of dependency and victim-hood and unearned trust.

Our country has been steered off track deliberately and kept off track for generations by foreign interests we mistook as friends, allies, and treaty partners. They have used us as gun fodder in their wars for profit, and stolen us blind for 150 years.

It cannot be supposed that restoration of our government or our educational system can happen over night, after such a long and damaging period of abuse by foreign powers and misdirected public employees. Instead, we must patiently expose and understand the rot we are dealing with, and secure as much assistance, good will, and understanding as possible going forward.

This same system of deceit, impersonation, identity theft, and commercial criminality has infested not only "the US" Territorial and Municipal Governments, but similar incorporated governmental services corporations worldwide.

So, by all means, let the Q Plan materialize, but let's not fall asleep again and think, oh, goodie, things are back on track....because it will take major work on all our parts to finally accomplish the restoration of our self-governance.

Thanksgiving, As How It Relates To The RV.

Thanksgiving, As How It Relates To The RV.

By Muhammad Ali

Now, I bet that just by looking at the title, you were thinking of the mouth watering smell of a homemade Thanksgiving dinner with stove top stuffing and cranberry sauce, right?  Well this article is far from that. ;)

However, that does sound very delicious.  Alright! let's get back on track.

Just recently, one of my Dinarian group member passed away.  His name was Hisham, he died of leukemia and his condition deteriorated the past couple of years and he finally could not hold on any longer. 

He was a good friend and provided spiritual intel to my group.  Hisham, you will be missed my brother.  I attended the burial and visited with the family and I was reminded by the sense of thanksgiving. 

What I mean by this, is that, we are all holding various currencies with the belief that their values will increase and we will become wealthy. 

However, for some, this will not be the case, as God has His own plans.  For some, their 'Blessings' in this investment was only to hold or touch the currency but never to exchange it.

As in the case of my friend, Hisham, he was holding Dinar, but he will not be able to exchange it.  His wife and children will, but he will not.  I have had many cases in my group, several people that I know moved houses and some how, some where, their currencies got misplaced. 

And then, there are those who due to financial stress had no choice but to sell off their currency just to survive.  I have even had one of my group members lose his currency in a house fire.

 He, inadvertently, left the iron on and some how that led to part of his house burning down and the part that did catch on fire housed a bookshelf, in which he kept his currency.  The currency went up in smoke as it be.  So whatever the reason might be, all of these people at one point had the currency in their hands, and that was their 'blessing', that was all God intended for them. 

This is something that you should think about and reflect upon.  We do not know what God has in stored for us tomorrow or down the road, maybe we may also become like those whose Dinar left their hands.

So in my article today, I wish to remind myself, and you all to give thanks to God and as we pray daily for the RV, not only pray that it will happen today but pray that you will be among those who will exchange their currencies.

I hope this article has helped you in some way as it was also meant to act as a tribute to my friend Hisham.

God bless us everyone and may we all be part of the exchange process and what comes afterwards. Amen.

Thank you and I wish you all the success in your currency exchange.

"Will The Dinar Come Out At 1 To 1?" Reply: Answering Tim

"Will The Dinar Come Out At 1 To 1?” Reply: Answering Tim

By Muhammad Ali

​DinarRecaps, posted an article of mine called "Will The Dinar Come Out At 1 To 1?  I think not!  And here's why..."   It was November 9th, 2019 https://dinarrecaps.com/our-blog/will-the-dinar-come-outnbsp-1-to-1nbsp   and I thank the Good folks at Recaps for it, God Bless them. 

Now it may have been yesterday if you're reading this article today or it may be been some time ago, it was certainly a couple of years ago for me when I originally wrote it.

However, I had a wonderful question emailed to me by a gentleman named Tim.  So here is his question and my reply below:

Hello Mr Ali,

Read your breakdown of dinar.  Can you give a little more info on something that was in your article.

You said iraqis would take a 25000 dinar note to bank and get a new 25 dinar in return. But you said that everywhere else in the world you would take. 25000 dinar to the bank and multiply it by the new exchange rate. That would have drastically different values.

25000d into 25d x 3.85 = purchasing power on Amazon of 77$.

Or 25000d into 250- 100d notes x 3.85 = purchasing power on Amazon of 80000$.

Or in us: 25000d into 25 d x 3.85 = 77$

Why should it be a lop in Iraq but not everywhere else?

Thank you, Tim

Answering Tim:  Greetings Tim,

Ok Tim, let's put aside the numbers and look at this from a whole perspective.  Because the concern here is NOT the calculations but whether the 25,000 will still remain as 25,000 whether in or out of the country.

I am not looking at this from any inside information but just a common sense and logical approach, that is how I always look at things so let's keep this in mind.

Firstly Tim, I never said it was going to be a LOP in country, you did.

If we analyze the options, we can start here: Either they will cut zeros off the note or they will not. That's the first thing.

And I said in my article, countries suffering from hyper-inflation have cut zeros.  Iraq is NOT, therefore they do not need nor do I believe they will cut any zeros, therefore NO LOP.  So they are not removing zeros from the note and the 25,000 will still remain as 25,000.  Therefore the notes inside and outside of Iraq should still remain the same.

I hope that's clear so far.  OK let's look at this a bit more further.

Next, If they maintain the note size of 25,000, and I'm talking in country, then it is only logical that ALL of Iraqis holding IQD will become extremely wealthy... 100% of the country.  Again, logically they cannot have this, the consequences are too great.

So that makes us think, logically again, that there must be 2 processes.  If the 25,000 in Iraq still remains as 25,000 then it means the whole of Iraq will become extremely wealthy, as I said. 

Now we know the project to remove 3 zeros was not to remove zeros from the notes but was to pull in the large bills, 10k 25k, 50k, from the hands of the general public and we can conclude as we have been told, the majority of these notes has already been pulled in.

So now it gets tricky.  Pay close attention, I'll give you couple of scenarios that I believe may play out. 

Scenario 1: So Let's assume the 25,000 will remain as is, in and outside of Iraq, how will they achieve this?

As I said in my article, inside Iraq, the citizens will take their 25,000 note to the bank for a 25 note of the new dinar, BUT what if that will not be the case since the CBI has already pulled in 90-95% of the large notes.  What if, the 25,000 still stays as 25,000, in Iraq? 

The  5% of the notes remaining right now are most likely in the hands of the greedy politicians and big businessmen and that means the rich will get richer scenario,  but what is happening now?  They are going after all the corrupted politicians and taking back the money they stole and prosecuting them for crimes. 

The rich will not get richer.  So maybe once they are done to a point they will raise the value of the Dinar and the 25,000 may still remain 25,000 in country and the citizens will exchange like us and have some wealth but not enough for the whole country to stop working. 

They will pay their debts, travel, enjoy life and then back to work.  For all of us, outside of Iraq we'll go to the bank and exchange back to our local currencies and everyone is HAPPY!  So that's one scenario. 

Now, let's look at this from another logical approach,

Scenario 2: They will still go after the corrupted politicians taking back the dinars they stole but THIS TIME, they will control the wealth of the citizens and tell them, bring us your 25,000 note and we will give you a new 25 note.  Notice they never said we have removed zeros, a swap for swap. 

So what choice do the citizens have?  Everyone has a choice, right?  Do the citizens know that they have choice?  Have they been told, that they can take their notes to Kuwait and you'll get alot more than 25 dinars?  Do you think the CBI will tell them this?

The CBI is holding the trump card (NO POTUS pun intended) over the citizens. The citizens can keep their 25,000 notes and complain about it and after 10 years those notes will be demonetized and then worthless or they can just take the note to the bank as good little citizens the CBI has been programming them to be, via bill boards etc. and they change their money and move on. 

To me, it would be like a bait and switch technique on to the citizens but what choice do they have, they cannot just pickup and move somewhere else?  Immigration is becoming and more tougher in every country.  So they have no choice.  What the CBI says, you follow.  The Iraqis as I see it, may get the short end of the deal, but in time, they can pick themselves back up and move forward.

Another piece of evidence that points to scenarios 2 and this is something you have to think about right here right now is, why has the CBI been doing very strong banking campaigns to get the citizens to bring in their remaining IQD and deposit the money into bank accounts?  WHY? 

Why are they bribing the citizens with Visas and Mastercards and Debit cards and gifts and such things?  WHY?  Actually the reason is very simple, once the citizens deposit the money into the bank, the money is no longer in their hands any more, it's in the Bank...Digital, can you see where I am going with this? 

So let's say I am an Iraqi and I have 500,000 Dinar in my bank account and once the CBI pulls the switch my account now shows 500 Dinars.  Presto!  Did I have choice, nope! 

Any choice that I did have, it's too late now.  So now they do not need to worry about the dinar in the hands of the citizens because alot of them have been opening bank accounts and depositing the dinars.  Remember, logically as I said, there has to be a control on the wealth of the citizens. 

This is how I see it and if I was running the CBI, this is what I would do.  I do not want the citizens to be super wealthy because the consequences will be too great.

Now, going back to our LOP scenario.  If Iraq was going to LOP in country and out of Iraq, would you think they would be concerned about how much DInar was leaving Iraq and how much was entering Iraq?

 Now, think logically?  What difference will it make?  You going to cut 3 zeros from the notes, in and out of the country, so who really cares how much currency comes in and how much goes out?  Is that a fair question?

OK read on, here is some very interesting evidence that tells us the CBI is and has been putting tight restrictions on the currency entering and leaving Iraq.

2016 and before, you can enter Iraq with virtually any amount of Dinar and leave with any amount of Dinar, then I noticed around July of 2017, entering Iraq you could only bring in 8 x 25K notes, leaving 4 x 25K notes. 

I know this for a fact because I was planning a trip to Iraq early 2017 to try and exchange out a $1.75 usd per Dinar (But that's another Dinar story) and then in July they changed the amounts of Dinar that can enter the country and that put a damper on my trip. 

February 2019, that restriction changed again to "Up to 25 Dinars can be imported and sums no greater than 5 Dinars can be exported out of the country." ... Now did you pay attention to what you just read? 

Read it again and again.  Did you catch that 25 Dinar and 5 Dinar?  When the smallest note is 250 Dinars? hmmmm, interesting, isn't it?

Now here's the link that I got that information:

https://www.visahq.com/iraq/customs/?fbclid=IwAR1q7X7-sPJ_odECUDC-R1UgrDBL--2Z7DOp_45Mtr5ZSP6hTvbCNVww8kc#!import-regulations

and that has been changed yet again to ANY Dinar entering the country must be declared.  So that means if you have 1 note you must declare it.  Why the BIG change, so we can assume if they are controlling the DInar coming in, they are definitely controlling the Dinar going OUT. 

But one may think did they let the cat out of the bag too early?  By displaying 25 Dinars and 5 Dinars?  And then removed it, you know what, this can actually be considered as more proof that Iraq will raise the value as in one of my previous articles.  Anyway, let's continue.

Because some citizens are becoming aware that they can change their notes at higher values out of the country, the CBI needed to clamp down on this and they implemented tighter controls.  And my reasoning for this, is the CBI wants to control the wealth of the citizens.

Iran is the same, my supplier that I get Rials from, is an Iranian, he said, Mr. Ali, now if they search your bags and find you leaving with Rials, they do not question you any more, they take it.  2017 he could bring back to Malaysia 1,0000 notes of 100K Rials.  About 10 x 100 note bundles.. easily. 

Last July he brought 5 bundles and hid it among things in his bags because he was scared they would find it.  He did not want to risk bringing out too much.  Next week, he is going back to Iran for 1 month, and he said he will try to bring back Rials but no promises, as he said now the control is even more tight.

So, it makes you wonder and think what is the purpose for the clamping down.  It is and it must be for a very important reason.  The only thing I can see, is they are controlling the movement of the money for a reason, the RV and to control the wealth of it's citizens.

OK Tim, so that's a couple of scenarios that I believe can play out.  How it goes, I don't really care, as I see it, either way, my 25,000 will still remain as 25,000.  As for the Iraqi people, well that's another story, they have survived for 1,000s of years and will continue to survive.  Selfish as that may sound on my part, but life goes on as we know it. 

OK my friend, take care  regards  Muhammad Ali

The Treasury Department is in Desperate Need of A Sucker

The Treasury Department Is In Desperate Need of A Sucker

Posted in Dinar Recaps Archives on 7/30/2019

Notes From The Field By Simon Black
July 30, 2019 Vilnius, Lithuania

The Treasury Department is in desperate need of a sucker

Ten years ago, at the peak of the global financial crisis, the Board of Trustees which oversees Social Security in the United States issued a stark warning:

They projected that Social Security’s enormous trust funds would completely run out of money in 2039.

Naturally nobody paid attention. Back in 2009 the economy in shambles, so focusing on a future economic crisis that was more than three decades away was a low priority.

And for the past decade, the US government has continued to ignore its Social Security problem.

But it’s become much worse.

Ten years later, the Board of Trustees now projects that Social Security’s primary trust fund will run out money in 2034.

That’s five years earlier than they projected back in 2009. And it’s only 15 years away.

Now, 15 years might seem like a long time. But take a minute to grasp the magnitude of this problem:

According to the US government’s own estimates, Social Security and Medicare combined are underfunded by $100 TRILLION.

$100 trillion is literally more than FIVE TIMES the size of the entire US economy. And this giant fiscal chasm is actually growing.

The big problem for Social Security is that tax revenue is no longer enough.

Every worker who is legally employed in the United States currently pays roughly 15% of his/her wages each month to help fund Social Security and pay benefits to retirees.

But there are now so many people receiving Social Security benefits that all the payroll tax revenue is no longer enough.

Social Security also derives a portion of the income it needs to pay benefits from the investment returns on its $3 trillion worth of assets.

Problem is-- Social Security is forbidden by law to invest in anything EXCEPT United States government bonds.

Most countries who have large Sovereign Wealth Funds or Pension Funds have the latitude to invest that capital in a variety of asset classes.

I personally know several national pension fund and sovereign wealth fund executives in Europe and Asia, and they typically buy a wide variety of assets-- real estate, private equity, stocks, bonds, etc., with a target annualized return of between 6% to 8%.

Legal Tender Status of United States Notes & Federal Reserve Notes

Legal Tender Status  -- United States Department of the Treasury

United States Notes & Federal Reserve Notes

I thought that United States currency was legal tender for all debts. Some businesses or governmental agencies say that they will only accept checks, money orders or credit cards as payment, and others will only accept currency notes in denominations of $20 or smaller. Isn't this illegal?

The pertinent portion of law that applies to your question is the Coinage Act of 1965, specifically Section 31 U.S.C. 5103, entitled "Legal tender," which states: "United States coins and currency (including Federal reserve notes and circulating notes of Federal reserve banks and national banks) are legal tender for all debts, public charges, taxes, and dues."

This statute means that all United States money as identified above are a valid and legal offer of payment for debts when tendered to a creditor. There is, however, no Federal statute mandating that a private business, a person or an organization must accept currency or coins as for payment for goods and/or services.

Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether or not to accept cash unless there is a State law which says otherwise. For example, a bus line may prohibit payment of fares in pennies or dollar bills. In addition, movie theaters, convenience stores and gas stations may refuse to accept large denomination currency (usually notes above $20) as a matter of policy.

Federal Reserve Notes

How Are They Different From United States Notes?

Federal Reserve notes are legal tender currency notes. The twelve Federal Reserve Banks issue them into circulation pursuant to the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. A commercial bank belonging to the Federal Reserve System can obtain Federal Reserve notes from the Federal Reserve Bank in its district whenever it wishes. It must pay for them in full, dollar for dollar, by drawing down its account with its district Federal Reserve Bank.

Federal Reserve Banks obtain the notes from our Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP). It pays the BEP for the cost of producing the notes, which then become liabilities of the Federal Reserve Banks, and obligations of the United States Government.

Congress has specified that a Federal Reserve Bank must hold collateral equal in value to the Federal Reserve notes that the Bank receives. This collateral is chiefly gold certificates and United States securities. This provides backing for the note issue.

The idea was that if the Congress dissolved the Federal Reserve System, the United States would take over the notes (liabilities). This would meet the requirements of Section 411, but the government would also take over the assets, which would be of equal value. Federal Reserve notes represent a first lien on all the assets of the Federal Reserve Banks, and on the collateral specifically held against them.

Federal Reserve notes are not redeemable in gold, silver or any other commodity, and receive no backing by anything.   This has been the case since 1933. The notes have no value for themselves, but for what they will buy. In another sense, because they are legal tender, Federal Reserve notes are "backed" by all the goods and services in the economy.

To All Hopeful Citizens in Dinarland:  How are you makin it. ?

I wish I had known, when I won the Nigerian Princess lottery (7 times)  that I should have saved some of that money to buy more dinar.  None of us knew that the Dinar Days of our Lives was going to run this long!!

As I have said many times before, none of us ever anticipated the political football this 'project' has become.  There is an abundance of evidence that this 'event' should have taken place many years ago.  But, here we are.  Still punting the dinar football!

The latest information that has come to me indicates that we are, once again, in a very hot window.  This window is open as we speak, and will remain open and hot through the end of the year.  Please pay attention!!  Now.  To the end of the year.  And I am hoping 'sooner than later.'  It is my understand that President Trump wants this done 'now'.  But we do not know how long 'now' might take to complete.

It is entirely possible that Thanksgiving 2019 could be one for the books.  But, as we ALL have learned, things can change the direction of this in a heartbeat.  So, while we have very good information right now, it is important that everyone remain grounded and focused on the long game.

While we could have a lot to be thankful for at Thanksgiving this year, it also could be a New Year's  to remember.  We just need to remember that at some point, in the very near future, we are going to have a lot for which to be very grateful.

Please.  While I do appreciate how hard it is waiting for this to happen, please understand that I cannot, and will not, answer the thousands of emails and texts from everyone.  I am not going to even try.  When I get information that puts us in a good window, I will let you know.

I am like you, and working every day, waiting for this to happen.  I know that it is hard, with so many differing opinions being given every day.  Many of the 'gurus' are taking information from others and rewording it.  Some are just giving their uneducated opinions.  Iraq is NOT going to do a LOP.  Forget any talk about a LOP. 

What I know for a fact is that President Trump is trying to get this released, in spite of tremendous opposition from the Democrats, who do not want this to happen.    The reason for the 'extended' window is because of our current political environment.

Do not get discouraged and think that this is never going to happen.  This is a currency, whose value prior to the Iraqi war was worth $2.65.  It will be worth that again, and more because there are more assets in Iraq now than before.  This is going to happen!  The only question is when.

The unrest in Iraq is not a factor in when this is going to be released.  It is not going to stop it, and President Trump recognizes that the only way to stop the unrest . . .  Is to release the RV.  He's working on it!!  Know that!!  The controlling factor in when this is going to happen is the US.  Nothing else matters.  US!!  Period.

Breathe.  Several times.  Be wise.  Be smart.  Do not be rash.  Make good decisions.

Do not give your dinar to anyone except a bank.  Get professional advice.  Invest wisely.  Learn to say 'No'.

God bless all of you.  It has been a journey none of us ever expected, but we should all be grateful to have been included in it.

Check www.cbi.iq every day to see if it has changed... do not take a guru or a post about in country RV or any thing else do not be fooled just check the CBI

Do not let your emotions get to you.

 Blessings.   Randy Koonce

The Invention of Money

The Invention of Money

By John Lanchester July 29, 2019

When the system buckles, how do we know what money is really worth?

In three centuries, the heresies of two bankers became the basis of our modern economy.

When the Venetian merchant Marco Polo got to China, in the latter part of the thirteenth century, he saw many wonders—gunpowder and coal and eyeglasses and porcelain.

One of the things that astonished him most, however, was a new invention, implemented by Kublai Khan, a grandson of the great conqueror Genghis. It was paper money, introduced by Kublai in 1260. Polo could hardly believe his eyes when he saw what the Khan was doing:

He makes his money after this fashion. He makes them take of the bark of a certain tree, in fact of the mulberry tree, the leaves of which are the food of the silkworms, these trees being so numerous that whole districts are full of them.

What they take is a certain fine white bast or skin which lies between the wood of the tree and the thick outer bark, and this they make into something resembling sheets of paper, but black. When these sheets have been prepared they are cut up into pieces of different sizes.

All these pieces of paper are issued with as much solemnity and authority as if they were of pure gold or silver; and on every piece a variety of officials, whose duty it is, have to write their names, and to put their seals.

And when all is prepared duly, the chief officer deputed by the Khan smears the seal entrusted to him with vermilion, and impresses it on the paper, so that the form of the seal remains imprinted upon it in red; the money is then authentic. Anyone forging it would be punished with death.

That last point was deeply relevant. The problem with many new forms of money is that people are reluctant to adopt them. Genghis Khan’s grandson didn’t have that difficulty.

He took measures to insure the authenticity of his currency, and if you didn’t use it—if you wouldn’t accept it in payment, or preferred to use gold or silver or copper or iron bars or pearls or salt or coins or any of the older forms of payment prevalent in China—he would have you killed. This solved the question of uptake.

Marco Polo was right to be amazed. The instruments of trade and finance are inventions, in the same way that creations of art and discoveries of science are inventions—products of the human imagination. Paper money, backed by the authority of the state, was an astonishing innovation, one that reshaped the world.

That’s hard to remember: we grow used to the ways we pay our bills and are paid for our work, to the dance of numbers in our bank balances and credit-card statements. It’s only at moments when the system buckles that we start to wonder why these things are worth what they seem to be worth.

The credit crunch in 2008 triggered a panic when people throughout the financial system wondered whether the numbers on balance sheets meant what they were supposed to mean.

As a direct response to the crisis, in October, 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto, whoever he or she or they might be, published the white paper that outlined the idea of Bitcoin, a new form of money based on nothing but the power of cryptography.

The quest for new forms of money hasn’t gone away. In June of this year, Facebook unveiled Libra, global currency that draws on the architecture of Bitcoin. The idea is that the value of the new money is derived not from the imprimatur of any state but from a combination of mathematics, global connectedness, and the trust that resides in the world’s biggest social network. That’s the plan, anyway.

How safe is it? How do we know what libras or bitcoins are worth, or whether they’re worth anything? Satoshi Nakamoto’s acolytes would immediately turn those questions around and ask, How do you know what the cash in your pocket is worth?

The present moment in financial invention therefore has some similarities with the period when money in the form we currently understand it—a paper currency backed by state guarantees—was first created.

The hero of that origin story is the nation-state. In all good stories, the hero wants something but faces an obstacle. In the case of the nation-state, what it wants to do is wage war, and the obstacle it faces is how to pay for it.

The RV, the Story of Patience and the Prophet Noah

The RV, the Story of Patience and the Prophet Noah.

By Muhammad Ali

Many of us have been waiting years and some even over a decade of waiting for the RV.  The question that keeps coming up over and over again is WHEN?  WHEN!  WHEN!

I too have asked myself that question and I certainly wish that I could answer it.

All that we can be assured of is that it is coming and to have patience.

Now seems like a great time to remind ourselves about the story of Prophet Noah.

I suggest that many of you compare your level of faith to that of Prophet Noah.

You know if we look closely at the story of Prophet Noah, there are some very good lessons to be learned.

We know that he was around 480 years of age when he received the guidance to build the ark.

How did that guidance come?  Did God come down and talk to him face to face?  No

Did Angel Gabriel come down and talk to Prophet Noah. With the instructions to build the ark?  Maybe

Or was it just a voice in Prophet Noah’s head to build the ark? Another possibility.

My point is that Prophet Noah only had 1 source of information...yet he believed.

He did not have overlapping sources of confirmation that proved to him beyond a shadow of a doubt that building this ark was not the right thing to do nor did he have any geological surveys or weather forecasts saying that major heavy rain warnings ahead.

So again, Prophet Noah had only 1 source of confirming information and nothing black and white, just hearsay....yet he believed.

Remember guys, it took Prophet Noah 75 years to build the ark.  What patience this man and his sons had with the town’s people mocking him and his family.  This was not 4 or 5 people.  This was hundreds of people, every single day for 75 years.  This alone will drive someone to insanity.

Once the ark was completed, God Almighty sent the rains and flood but 50 years later.  What patience this man and his sons had with the town’s people still continuing to mock him and his family. 

The mocking would be now more severe and intense.  God strengthen Noah and his family in faith because they believed and put their trust in God.

So a total of 125 years went by from start to flood.   This is true test of patience of any man.  So regardless of how long you have waited for the RV and the tests you have gone thru, it would be incomparable to that of Prophet Noah and his family.

For some of you in this investment the wait has been long and for some, very short, yet you still keep asking when?  When?  When?

Some have endured great tests during this waiting time for RV and some have not shed a sweat or tear.

True faith in God is having patience in His timing.   Because of this waiting many of you have been able to get more currency.  I know I have.  My wait has been, now going into 13 years, however, the amount of currency I have now as compared to 2012 is considerably a lot more.  So God is great!

God has strengthen my belief in this investment as he did with Prophet Noah or else, I would have stopped posting years ago and just stayed quiet as with many of the previous Intel.

The RV will happen in God's timing and then the second test will begin, the test of readiness.  Are you truly ready?  That is the question?  Time will tell.

I hope my article has been of some interest to you.

A Brief History of Veteran’s Day In The United States

A Brief History of Veteran’s Day In The United States

11 | 07 | 2019

Every year on November 11, people in the United States celebrate Veteran’s Day. It’s a special time dedicated to honoring those who have served in the armed forces. While it’s sometimes confused with Memorial Day, there are distinct differences between the two.

Veteran’s Day is more than just scoring a three-day weekend off from work. It has a significant history deeply rooted in the honor and sacrifice of those who have served. Here is a brief history of Veteran’s Day and why it’s so important.

The First Veteran’s Day

The very first Veteran’s Day was celebrated in 1938 to honor the end of World War I. While the Treaty of Versailles officially ended the war in June of 1919, an armistice, or ceasefire, began earlier on November 11, 1918. Originally, Veteran’s Day was called Armistice Day in honor of the ceasefire and the end of the violence. It was created to celebrate the brave people who fought in WWI.

Changing With The Times

By 1954, the United States had participated in both World War II and the Korean War. Armistice Day was intended only to celebrate WWI veterans, and all of the new veterans didn’t have a much-deserved holiday of their own. Congress passed a bill changing Armistice Day to Veteran’s Day as a way of extending the celebration to include veterans of any war.

In 1968, Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Bill, which gave government employees the much-loved three-day weekends for historical holidays like Washington’s Birthday, Memorial Day, and Veteran’s Day. Because November 11 sometimes falls on the weekend, the act also changed Veteran’s Day to the fourth Monday of November.

This wasn’t a popular change. Not only did it confuse everyone, but it also took away the historical significance of November 11. Finally, in 1975, President Ford returned Veteran’s Day to its rightful date where it has remained ever since.

Memorial Day vs. Veteran’s Day

The main distinction between Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day is that Memorial Day is for commemorating the soldiers who have lost their lives in battle while Veteran’s Day honors those who are still living.

Memorial Day was born of the Civil War when people needed a way to remember the family members that they’d lost. After WWI, it grew to include those lost in all wars. Memorial Day was celebrated differently in every state until it was made an official federal holiday in 1971.

Everything You Want To Know About Veterans Day

Everything You Want To Know About Veterans Day And More!

By Meera Dolasia

On Friday, November 11, Americans will celebrate Veterans Day. The federal holiday honors the brave men and women of the armed forces who risk their lives to protect our freedom. They include members of the US Army, Navy, Marine Corps, National Guard, Air Force, and the Coast Guard.

There is often confusion between Veterans Day and Memorial Day, which is celebrated on the last Monday of May. Though both honor our military personnel, Memorial Day, is set aside to remember and pay tribute to soldiers that died in battle or from a wound sustained in one.

Veterans Day on the other hand, recognizes ALL those who served honorably in the military, during war or peace. Its primary purpose however, is to thank the living veterans for their bravery and contribution to our national security.     Image Credit: popularresistance.org 

The holiday, formerly called Armistice Day, was first celebrated on November 11, 1919 to honor World War I soldiers. The date was selected because it was on this day at 11:00 AM in 1918 that the Allied Nations and Germany reached a cease-fire, or Armistice, which led to the end of the ‘Great War,’ as it often called.

US President Woodrow Wilson, who began the commemoration, encouraged Americans to celebrate the day with parades and public meetings. Businesses were also urged to suspend work for a few minutes at 11:00 am to honor World War 1 veterans. In 1954, after America’s engagement in World War II and the Korean War, US officials changed the name to Veterans Day, so that all military personnel could be honored.

In 1968, to enable Americans to enjoy a longer weekend, US lawmakers moved three holidays — Washington’s Birthday (Feb 22), Memorial Day (May 30), and Veterans Day (November 11) — from fixed dates to designated Mondays. However, the first Veterans Day celebration under the new law, observed on October 25th, 1971, resulted in much confusion.

Additionally, most Americans were not happy with the change, due to the date's historical and patriotic significance. In 1975, President Gerald Ford finally succumbed to public pressure and reinstated the celebration back to the original November 11 date.

The US is not the only country that observes the holiday. It is also celebrated in the United Kingdom, France, Canada, Australia, Malta, and South Africa.

While each country commemorates the event differently, the purpose is the same — to thank the brave men and women who put their lives on the line to protect others. So this Friday, be sure to seek out and thank the amazing veterans whose tremendous courage and sacrifices have enabled us to maintain our freedom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqgrkeZZe3g
