                                   Our Secretary of the Treasury is both the receiver in that bankruptcy
                                and the Governor of the International Monetary Fund. This organization,
                                made up of international bankers, pays the Secretary’s salary, not us. Doesn’t
                                that make him an agent of a foreign power? You bet it does, and I can assure
                                you that the Honorable Secretary has the best interests of the bankers in
                                mind and not that of We the People. If he is an agent of the International
                                Monetary Fund, then are not his sub-agents the IRS also foreign agents? You
                                bet they are. By law, a foreign agent who does not file as such is committing
                                a felony. (Section 64 of Title 22 of the United States Code) You now know
                                how the FED creates money with the stroke of a pen. Now I will explain
                                mankind’s eternal curse – usury, commonly known as interest.
                                   Many civilizations have lived productive lives on this earth having no
                                knowledge of interest or the repayment of money loaned. Men such as
                                Jebidiah’s sons developed the concept of usury in order for them to get rich
                                on their brethren’s labor. Usury is illegal in the Moslem world and punishable
                                by death if detected.
                                   Outlawed in Europe and other continents for over three centuries, the
                                penalty for anyone charging interest was severe: sometimes the death penalty
                                was administered to those lazy and greedy loan sharks who wished to inflict
                                usury on their neighbors.
                                   How I long for the good old days once again!
                                   William Patterson, an English banker, coined the term “interest” in the
                                year 1694. The Crown, in need of additional revenue sources, gave license to
                                Patterson to form his private bank. The Crown would authorize the money
                                and the credit provisions of usury for the innocent English citizen.
                                   This is a fair representation of what happened next. The first month that
                                Patterson opened his bank, he made loans to ten farmers who needed the
                                money to buy seed stock, livestock and supplies. The farmers borrowed one
                                hundred pounds for one year at an interest rate of six percent. That was simple
                                interest, as the concept of compound interest had not as yet been visualized.
                                After one year the farmer was required to repay the hundred pounds plus
                                the interest of six pounds. The only problem was that Patterson had created
                                only a thousand pounds, and some of the farmers, although able to repay the
                                original hundred pounds, were unable to come up with the additional six
                                pounds. They tried to borrow it from some of the other farmers, but they too
                                were having difficulty trying to find the interest.
                                   One of the farmers had died and Patterson had taken the farm as the
                                security for the loan. The deceased farmer’s family had used some of the
                                money to live on and was holding on to the rest of it because now they had no
                                provider. So, in the village, there were some of the farmers who were able to
                                sell products or services to the deceased farmer’s family for some of Patterson’s
