claimS that the duty bound respondents failed to couriter and answer, and states facts for the closing. I affirm to
the following facts below, to let the record reflect that:
:?; "i ..·

1. There has been no response by any ~f the respondents whatsoever, the respondents being the United
States Secretary of State, John Kerry; Jhe? United States President, Barack H. Obama; United States Attorney
General, Loretta E. Lynch; United Su,ttes''Secretary of the Treasury, Jacob Lew and State of Arkansas Attorney
General, Leslie Rutledge; who were ,·charged to respond and rebut the 'Affidavit of Default .Judgment with
Absolute Rights to Enforcemfnt, with Enclosed Notice of International Cease and Desist, Lien and
Exhibits'; which was presente'd' under notary presentment. As pursuant to the notary public who was charged to
receive any responses, there·has been nothing but silence to this very day. This constitutes the second default
judgment pursuant to Jlle:.·matters addressed therein and previously which created the first default judgment of
instrument No. 2015080734 at www.Pulaskiclerk.com real estate records. Proverbs 22:20-21, United States
Statutes at Large,96 Stat. 1211 and Public Law 97-280 demanded a response on both occasions; in which they
failed to do so. ,;;; · ·

2. T,_bgc'copy of the STATE OF CALIFORNIA CERTIFICATE OF LIVE BIRTH No. 7097-118611 with
the name Toriano James Herveyi6TM filed with the exhibits is an exact copy of the one I am holding, and presented
to ., riiy', mother at my nativity. The verbiage of the document shows proof of denationalization, human ,
tr'3fficking, racketeering, paper genocide and slavery, and used to create an ens legis legal fiction of my living
natural person. According to the National Institute of .Justice at nii.gov/topics/crime/human-
traffickinglpages/welcome.aspx, "The U.S. Government defines human trafficking as: The recruitment,
harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for labor or services, through the use of force ,
fraud, or coercion for the purpose of subjection to involuntary servitude, peonage, debt bondage, or slavery."
By this very definition alone, the ens legis legal fiction corporate United States' democracy and the ens legis legal
fiction corporate 50 States' democracies are guilty of this crime, and the state and federal courts uphold this fraud .

3. The copy of the 'Honorable Military Discharge DD 214 of TORIANO JAMES HERVEY' filed with
the exhibits is an exact copy of the one I am holding. This shows proof that I am an expert witness with expert
evidence and military knowledge of the banner that is flown with the 13 red and white stripes, 50 stars, blue
canton and gold bordered fringes; commonly called in misnomer as the flag of the United States, which by
unwary consent invokes military admiralty/ maritime, corporate democracy jurisdiction of the ens legis legal

45 (Senate Resolution No. 39)'. These records show proof that the 14.th':Amendment was never ratified, and the
state and federal judges who use this fraud are secessionists;. tiibels with pens instead of guns seeking to
divide the Union. They also expressed that they must be stoppei:l, public opinion must be aroused and that
the Union must and shall be preserved. And, the state. a~ir··federal courts are aware of this fraud, but they
continue to use it to accomplish their fraudulent agendas ()J";!deception and racketeering. The State of Arkansas has
agreed to the use of this fraud and to operate with it as·sfiown in the Arkansas Code Title 16-4-101- "Personal
jurisdiction of Arkansas courts- ' ... ]!. Personal .Iutisdiction. The courts of this state shall have personal
jurisdiction of all persons, and all causes of action or claims for relief, to the maximum extent permitted by

'the ens leg~s'l.egal fiction corporate United States' democracy and the ens legis legal fiction corporate 50 States'

grav~, ·These credit loans from the Federal Reserve Bank syste~. in principal plus interest, were and are to be paid
back through the various methods of taxation upon the ens legis legal fiction United States citizens. The ens legis

8. I am the holder of the following authenticated records under seal from the United States Library of
Congress in regards to the overthrow of the united States of America Republic by the ens legis legal fiction

Thorkelson.' These records show proof respectively that there was collusion _li~tween the Legislative and the
Executive branches of government for the United States, Congress and Presid~pt Franklin D. Roosevelt, to quietly
overthrow the lawful united States of America Republic and convert it i(ltQ~:-'a democracy under the New Deal.
House of Representatives, Montana Rep. Mr. Thorkelson was the only. C~ngressman who went on record and
publicly protested this democracy at the time. The Federal '"'Reserve Act of 1913 destroyed the
Constitutional form of government and converted it into a semi':.democracy by placing the United States
Treasury under the Bank of England. The people of the .u9Jfed States of America were starved into the
acceptance of the New Deal democracy by having their foo"d staples and crops destroyed; while food was
being internationally imported in, and the dispense of that food was being controlled by the United States.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal democracf\vas a coup d'etat patterned after the South American .
coups for democracy that overthrew their various republics.

fdrlibrary.org; in regards to the inaug4pl,Paddresses: 'Addresses by Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1933, 1937, 1941
and 1945'. These records show proo~;.t;hai President Franklin D. Roosevelt, in what he deemed as a "necessity",
was intending to overthrow the u!_l,ited States of America Republic, and replace it with what he coined as
"essential democracy".

(2010); confirm that the last bastion of hope for upholding the rights of the citizens of the united States of
America, i..'i: the judicial branch of government for the United States; which is the Supreme Court of the United
States, had entered into collusion with the legislative and executive branches for the establishment of the
democracy. The overthrow of the state and federal republics of the united States of America was complete.
This fraud was fully embraced and adjudicated into stare decisis and res judicata by the Supreme Court of the
United States.

11. According to 'THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels', 1888;
democracy is communism. The ens legis legal fiction corporate United States' democracy and the ens legis legal
fiction corporate 50 States' democracies are socialists/ communists constructs, and the masses of the people today
are ignorant to civics and history. You cannot punish the Muurs/ Moors for the careless ignorance of the masses.

the ens legis legal fiction corporate United States' democracy and the ens legis legal fiction corporate 50 States'
democracies, which are in direct conflict to the united States of America Republic and the Constitution for
the united States of America of 1787. This direct conflict is what is known in law as a mixed war. As pursuant

21. As pursuant to Bouvier's Dictionary of Law, 1856- "MONUMENT. A thing intended to transmit to

In this sense it differs from a cenotaph, which is an empty tomb." "MONUMENTS. Permanent landmarks

for doing such violations. The United States Congress agreeq::iliat this is part of the word of God, and is the law

25. My blood birthright iW.;;:{stolen at nativity by the ens legis legal fiction corporate UNITED STATES
democracy and the ens legid~gal fiction corporate STATE OF CALIFORNIA democracy. The ens legis legal

Administration to OReF'afe in the theft of my blood birthright. This blood birthright in jus sanguinis as a Paleo-
American, Autoch.thBrious Aboriginal, Indigenous Native American Muur and Pre-Columbian Moor entitled me

takes pl~c~';upon my estate lands, due to non-compensation for the use of my lands, raw materials and natural
resourc~s,;' i.e. corporeal and incorporeal hereditaments. My birthright in jus soli as a Moroccan-American

series TS 244-2; 9 Bevans 1286, the public officials of the ens legis legal fiction corporate United States'

Constitution for the united States of America of 1787 also owe allegiance to this treaty as well.

27. In the treaty, Article 2 shows that the Constitutional oath bound public officials must not apply the public
policies of the democracy against us, due to the fact that it would consist of them taking a commission from the
enemy, i.e. the democracy, and fighting underneath the color of law and the military admiralty/ maritime banner.
These public policies constitute a mixed war being waged against Muurs/ Moors on the part of the ens legis legal
fiction corporate United States' democracy and the ens legis legal fiction corporate 50 States' democracies; which
is a violation of the peace treaty between the united States of North America Republic and the AI Moroccan
Empire. __ ,y'·

28. In the treaty, Article 3 shows that the Muurs' I Moors' nationality, status, jurisdiction, standtn'i, asset
credit and rights in commerce, and blood birthrights to all land rights, all mineral rights, all water )j.ghts and all
air, sky and space rights, and automatic third party beneficiary rights in equity to every contrac~<·~tt~ngement or
agreement made; whether public or private, that takes place upon our estate lands, due to n~-~~-co·mpensation for
the use of our lands, raw materials and natural resources; i.e. corporeal and incorporeal hereditaments; must
be returned to us. During the captivity and denationalization period of Muurs/ Moors,>,be'ginning in 177 4 and
lasting until 1865, and through the Reconstruction Era and Jim Crow, and the presiMJitial era of United States
President Franklin D. Roosevelt et seq., our blood birthrights were and continue ,t9:be unlawfully stolen; while
being loaded onto the commercial vessels known as the ens legis legal fiction cm:ppiate United States' democracy
and the ens legis legal fiction corporate 50 States' democracies. The tre'!tY 'is a lawful contract, and the
obligation of contract cannot be impaired as pursuant to Articlel, Section f(fof the Constitution for the united
States of America of 1787. All oath bound federal, state, county and miirucipal public officers are obligated to
return these blood birthrights to their lawful heirs and beneficia~it!s. The Muurs/ Moors are to be set free

corporate, and public policy captivity administered by the ,eb5' legis legal fiction corporate United States'

hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughoue·im the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall
be a jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto
his family." The United States Congress agreed th~t (pris is part of the word of God, and is the law with United
States Statutes at Large 96 Stat. 1211 and Publi~ Law 97-280. A short history will be given later about a Moor
named Abdul Rahman Ibrahim Ibn Sori and/_:!Jis' liberation through treaty law. And, in accordance with the
history of Abdul Rahman Ibrahim Ibn Soti~ ·:we must be released and restored immediately in toto.

29. In the treaty, Article 6 shows,_tli1t'if any Moor shall bring citizens of the United States, or their effects, to
his Majesty, the citizens shall immcrdiately be set at liberty, and the effects restored: and, in like manner, if any
Moor, not a subject of these doniiriions, shall make prize of any of the citizens of America or their effects, and
bring them into any of the ,.·p~rts of his Majesty, they shall be immediately released, as they will then be
considered as under his Majesty's protection. The Paleo-American Muurs and Pre-Columbian Moors are not
subjects to the dominion~>df the Sultan (now King) of the Kingdom of Morocco, but we have unalienable rights
and are still within Ql~~protection of the Treaty of Peace and Friendship between the united States of North
America Republic'hlld the AI Moroccan Empire of 1836 via jus soli; i.e. by birth within the dominions of the
AI Moroccan EJppire, i.e. North America. Under the doctrine of comity, i.e. reciprocity, if a United States
citizen should]make prize of a Muur/ Moor, and bring him or her into the united States of America and United
States (jurl~diction), the Muur/ Moor shall immediately be set at liberty, and the effects restored. The doctrine of
comity;i,i;:>an ancient practice of reciprocity, and is a custom that is duly recognized under the Law of Nations.
Thiscjs 'what freed a captive Moor placed in bondage by the name of Abdul Rahman Ibrahim Ibn Sori from a
ptiihtation in Mississippi. Abdul Rahman Ibrahim Ibn Sori was a prince from the kingdom of Futa Jallon in what
is known today as Guinea. He was trained as a lawyer and politician when his father sent him to the University of
Timbuktu. Upon graduation, he returned home to Futa Jallon to help his father run the kingdom. During a military
campaign with one of the troublesome neighboring tribes, he was captured, and sold into bondage that eventually
landed him on a plantation in Mississippi. An old acquaintance named Dr. Cox, who knew Abdul Rahman
Ibrahim Ibn Sori and his family very well in Futa Jallon, had pleaded and tried to procure Abdul Rahman Ibrahim
Ibn Sori 's freedom by payment to the plantation owner Thomas Forster. ·
'
Instrument# 2017026407 Page 15 of 235

Thomas Forster refused all amounts of payment, due to the fact that Abdul Rahman Ibrahim Ibn Sari had
become the brains behind the Forster's plantation. Dr Cox continued trying to procure his friend's freedom until
he died. The cause was later taken up by the doctor's son. Abdul Rahman Ibrahim Ibn Sari labored for 40 years
before finding out about the Moroccan treaty. Being skilled in law and diplomacy, and representing himself, he
wrote a letter to President John Quincy Adams and Secretary of State Hemy Clay demanding his freedom. He
also wrote a letter to the Sultan of Morocco. The Sultan sent verifiers to Futa Jallon to see if the claims in the
letter of Abdul Rahman Ibrahim Ibn Sari were true, and they were verified as such. The Sultan ordered his reJe_ase
immediately, and President John Quincy Adams and Secretary of State Hemy Clay ordered Thomas Fo~~·(er to
release him immediately from bondage. In 1829, Abdul Rahman Ibrahim lbn Sari returned to Africa:. ·~'d'ore he
left, he met the then President of United States in the White House and received a personal apology fQi''lhe misuse
and the dehumanization he went through under the slavery institution. More can be found OQ:)hls history at

32. In the treaty, Article 16 show_f1'tb~t in case of war betwe~n the united States of North America Republic
and the AI Moroccan Empire, the p:r:isoners are not to be made slaves, but are to be exchanged one for another,
and of equal rank and status. Ari9 'if there is a deficiency on either side, the payment of one hundred Mexican
dollars shall make up the di[fbtence for each person wanting. And it is agreed, that all prisoners shall be
exchanged in twelve moq.Qls ' from the time of their being taken, and that this exchange may be effected by a
merchant, or any other p~ts'on, authorized by either of the parties. Between 1933 through 1945, during the mixed
lti!!: waged against ;'Q<?-'united States of America Republic by the ens legis legal fiction corporate United States'
democracy and Ql~':ens legis legal fiction corporate 50 States' democracies, President Franklin D. Roosev.elt's
New Deal demQ._c.racy had made all ens legis legal fiction United States citizens prisoners of war to the ens legis
legal fiction 69tporate United States' democracy and the ens legis legal fiction corporate 50 States' democracies,
and debt_.s(aves to the Federal Reserve Bank system. Pennsylvania Congressional Rep. Mr. McFadden was the
only Congressman who went on record and publicly protested this debt slavery at the time in the 1932
Congressional Records as contained herein. The Muurs/ Moors were caught up in a dragnet of public policy and
Mot' slavery implemented under the military admiralty/ maritime democracy of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's
New Deal era. The mixed war was waged against the Muurs/ Moors as well through the FBI's Director, al
Edgar Hoover. This proof is found at vault.fbi.gov and search 'Moorish Science Temple of America'. This
type of activity was never supposed to happen. According to treaty law, the Muurs/ Moors cannot be held in
debt slavery, prisoner of war status or chattel servitude to the Federal Reserve Bank system, and the ens legis
legal fiction corporate United States' democracy and the ens legis legal fiction corporate 50 States' democracies.
In accordance with the history of Abdul Rahman Ibrahim Ibn Sori, We must be released immediately.

33. In the treaty, Article 20 shows that if any of the citizens of the United States, or any persons under their
protection, shall have any dispute with each other, the Consul shall decide between them. And if the Consul shall
require any aid, or assistance from the Al Moroccan Empire to enforce his decisions, it sba11 be immediately
granted to him. A challenge was issued to the respondents of the ens legis legal fiction corporate United States'
democracy and the ens legis legal fiction corporate 50 States' democracies, for any counter-claims to my claim of
position as a foreign Consular General for Shi-Urkantzu Thunder Clan Olmec Muurs©Th\ and other Aboriginal
Muurs and Pre-Columbian Moors, and also for my claim of me being an obligee under the doctrine of col)1ity
pursuant to Article 20; to receive any aid or assistance from the Constitutional oath bound public officvf~ ~nd
agents. My claims to this Consular General position, and to receive any aid or assistance, were unc6Iitested
by the respondents, and there was nothing but silence for a response. \ ',

34. In the treaty, Article 21 shows that if a citizen of the United States should kill or WOl!ni:F~ Moor, or, on
the contrary, if a Moor shall kill or wound a citizen of the United States, the law of the Coruqtty shall take place,
and equal justice shall be rendered, the Consul assisting at the trial; and if any delinquent,shall make his escape,
the Consul shall not be answerable for him in any manner whatev~r. What this is sayi.ng''is that the laws of each
jurisdiction shall set the grounds for the rules at the trial. The unit~d States of Am~Ji;t~ Republic was established
as a usufruct, while the land for its operation was granted by the Sultan of the AI;Moroccan Empire. At the tim~
this treaty was made law, a citizen of the United States was understood in th~·"common-law, common sense of a
natural, living breathing person, and not the ens legis legal fiction 141Jt 1\mendment person; i.e. a statutory
corporate person. So in essence, if a Muur/ Moor shall kill or wound a ,ciilien of the United States, then the law
that must be applied is the common law for the united States of Ariferica Republic, i.e. the usufruct, and not
the public policy of the ens legis legal fiction corporate United SJ~J(!'s' democracy and the ens legis legal fiction
corporate 50 States' democracies. This is a treaty right that w.a~,:understood by all at the time of the making and
ratification of this treaty. As pursuant to Dred Scott v. S~Iidford, 60 U.S. 393 (1856), Muurs/ Moors in
misnomer as Negroes, Blacks, Coloreds, African-Amer~c;:a,ns, Latinos, etc., cannot be Citizens/ citizens of the
Federal Republic or the united States of America Republic. This case is still valid law today as pursuant to the
unconstitutionality of the 14tlt Amendment. ·v
""7~/'

But, as pursuant to our ;us soli status ,w;i;b the AI Moroccan Empire, the Supreme Court of the United
States' case of United States v. Wong Kim Ark. 169 U.S. 649. (1898) at supreme.justia.com explains it
perfectly; cite, "In this as in other respe~(s·; lt (emphasis added: the Constitution) must be interpreted in the
light of the common law, the princhil~s and history of which were familiarly known to the framers of the
Constitution... The language of the;·constitution, as has been well said, could not be understood without
reference to the common Iaw.J-:fThe interpretation of the Constitution of the United States is necessarily
influenced by the fact that its;·provisions are framed in the language of the English common law, and are to
be read in the light of its·history.' ... 'By the common law of England, every person born within the
dominions of the Crown>ho matter whether of English or of foreign parents, and, in the latter case, whether
the parents were setil~d or merely temporarily sojourning, in the country, was an English subject, ~
onlv the children '.or' foreign ambassadors (who were excepted because their fathers carried their own
nationality with ,(hem), or a child born to a foreigner during the hostile occupation of any part of the
territories of:England. No effect appears to have been given to descent as a source of nationality.'"

Subject of Citizenship, Expatriation, and Protection Abroad' " ...There are, strictly speaking, no Moroccan
, laws relating to citizenship of Moorish subjects in Morocco. The fundamental laws of this non-Christian
country are based entirely upon the Islamitic code, no part of which treats of the subject of citizenship.
There are, however, numerous treaties and conventions between the various Christian countries and the
Moorish Empire, by means of which citizenship in this country is defined ... (!) Citizenship in Morocco may be
said to be governed by the laws pertaining to the same in other countries, with the exception that all persons
residing in Morocco who cannot prove foreign citizenship or protection are considered ipso jure as Moorish

subjects. G. and ~) Moorish subjects lost their nationality only by becoming naturalized in, or protected by,
another country having treaty relations with the Moorish Empire. It was established by the Convention of
Madrid, concluded July 3, 1880, as follows: ARTICLE XV. Any subject of Morocco who has been
naturalized in a foreign country, and who shall return to Morocco, shall, after having remained for a length of
time equal to that which shall have been regularly necessary for him to obtain such naturalization, choose between
entire submission to the laws of the Empire and the obligation to quit Morocco, unless it shall be proved
that his naturalization in a foreign country was obtained with the consent of the Government of Morocco.
Foreign naturalization heretofore acquired by subjects of Morocco according to the rules established by tbe;.'hiws
of each country, shall be continued to them as regards all its effects without any restriction. The abov~ r;~li'ng has
never yet been acted upon, and should this at any time be contemplated seriously, a large .h umber of
naturalized people, American and others, residing in Morocco, would be affected thereiJY. (! and ~)
Residence in foreign parts does not affect the nationality of Moorish subjects... " So, as is;(fuite evident, the
law of the AI Moroccan Empire must take paramount precedence if Muurs/ Moors are k}.!l¥a or wounded by a
citizen of the United States; as pursuant to Article 21 of the treaty. '·'-·:) ·

oppressive governments created::py· Congress, Franklin D. Roosevelt's coup d'etat and the Supreme Court of the
United States. It is impossibl~::to be outside of the law while trying to interpret and enforce the law. The
Treaty of Peace and Friendship between the united States of North America Republic and the AI Moroccan
Empire of 1836, is a con,fr~ct that was created under the Constitution for the united States of America of 1787
in the lawful jurisdiction of the-republic. Every Muur/ Moor has the absolute right to seek freedom from a
foreign, hostile anf,6ppressive government which is not a party to the Constitution or the treaty, and to seek
freedom by any, lawful means necessary. They are to seek any remedy available to them in law by the very
nature of their bloodline and nationality. The only remedy available to Muurs/ Moors is the private
administra(l've process within the ens legis legal fiction corporate United States' democracy ·and the ens legis legal
fiction,"~bijJorate 50 States' democracies; for they are administrative governments administering admiralty/
marit}m~ law under military martial authority. See suprcme.justia.com Moore v. City of East Cleveland, 431
U':S.; 494 (1977), "Utilization of available administrative processes is mandated for a complex of reasons.
Statutes sometimes provide administrative procedures as the exclusive remedy. Even apart from a statutory
command, it is common sense to permit the simple, speedy, and inexpensive processes of the administrative
machinery to sift the facts and compile a complete record fo1· the benefit of any reviewing courts.
· Exhaustion avoids interruption of the administrative process and allows application of an agency's
specialized experience and the broad discretion granted to local entities ... Most important, if administrative
remedies are pursued, the citizen (emphasis added: National) may win complete relief without needlessly
IInst~nd 2017026407 Page 20 of 235

invoking judicial process. This permits the parties to resolve their disputes by relatively informal means far
less costly and time consuming than litigation. By requiring exhaustion of administrative processes, the
courts are assured of reviewing only final agency decisions arrived at after considered judgment. It also permits
agencies an opportunity to correct their own mistakes or give discretionary relief short of judicial review.
Consistent failure by courts to mandate utilization of administrative remedies- under the growing
insistence of lawyers demanding broad judicial remedies- inevitably undermines administrative
effectiveness and defeats fundamental public policy by encouraging 'end runs' around the administrative
process ... We ought not to encourage litigants to bvpass simple, inexpensive, and expeditious remedies
available at their doorstep in order tu invoke expensive judicial machinery on matters capable.-or" being
resolved at local levels. The suggestion 1is made that exhimstion of administrative remedies is no.t, required on
issues of constitutional law. In one sense, this argument is correct, since adminiStrative agencies .hll~e no power
to decide questions of federal constitutional law. But no one has a right to a federal/ constitutional
adjudication on an issue capable of being resolved on a less elevated plane. Indeed, few5t"Oncepts have had
more faithful adherence in this Court than the imperative of avoiding constitutionaFresolution of issues
capable of being disposed of otherwise." By this case alone, it is impossible for ''papef:i:errorism" to exist.

This matter is pursuant to the 'Affidavit of Blood, Historv and Law, et al Points for Error in Fact and

recorded in PULASKI COUNTY CIRCUIT/ COUNTY CLERK~ REAL ESTATE ROOM 102, and viewable

unalienable rights and natural equity may be established_ ptftsuant to de jure laws, history and blood birthrights
of heirs as contained within 'public record inst:rlln!~Pl No. 2015080734' and also as contained herein. This
settlement and final closing should not include any post retaliation because the truth has been revealed and
the perpetrators of deceit exposed, but one which should be respected, honored and upheld as pursuant to
blood, history, law, facts and truth, and also as pursuant to my due diligence to seek the truth. "And ye shall
know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." (See .John 8:32, United States Statutes at Large 96 Stat.
1211 and Public Law 97-280.) The truth~ has no concern for one's opinions or beliefs, it is only concerned
with facts, and is firmly rooted within Natural Law issuing from Divine Law. Divine Law governs all
events; including equity, remedy, recourse and relief.

colonialists upon our soll and the establishment of their commerce. The descendants of European colonists and
immigrants, as well as other immigrants beyond Europe, have grown wealthy and corpulent from our estate
and its resources, and have not given anything in consideration to us Paleo-American, Autochthonous
Aborigirial, Indigenous Native American Muurs and the Pre-Columbian Moors; as we are the lawful heirs of this
estate. Being that the 14th Amendment was never ratified, this renders the personhood of all corporations and

Voluntary chattel slavery and peonage exists by consent under the 14th Amendment,>bU't involuntary
existence under the 14th Amendment is also chattel slavery and peonage, is fraudulent; ~d all contracts of
adhesion to the 14th Amendment are vitiated due to this fraud when addressed. (See ~.justia.com United
States v. Throckmorton, 98 U.S. 61 (1878), "There is no question of the general doCtrine that fraud vitiates
the most solemn contracts, documents, and even judgments." And, Black's Law'·,Dictionary, 4th Ed .. 1968.,
"Fraus est celare fraudem. It is a fraud to conceal a fraud." "Fraus et dolus neinini patrocinari debent. Fraud
and deceit should defend or excuse no man." ''Dolus circuitu non purgtitur. Fraud is not purged by
circuity." [Emphasis added: Circuity- A lack of straightforwardness or··iddressing the issue directly.] "Jus

The fraud of a predecessor prejudices not his successor.'' "Nemo ex·iioto suo proprio relevetur. aut auxilium
capiat. Let no one be relieved or gain an advantage by his own,, fraud." "Nulla pactione effici potest ut dolus
priestetur. By no agreement can it be effected that a fraud-shall be practiced. Fraud will not be upheld,
though it may seem to be authorized by express agreement" "Once a fraud. alwavs a fraud." "Qui per
fraudem agit frustra agit. What a man does fraudulently:he does in vain." "Quod alias bonum et justum est.
si per vim vel fraudem petatur. malum et injustum efficitur. What otherwise is good and just, if it be sought
or
. by force and fraud, becomes-bad and unjust." VITiATE.-To impair; to make void voidable; to cause to
fail of force or effect; to destroy or annul, either''entirely or in part, the legal efficacy and binding force of
an act or instrument; as when it is said thaUniud vitiates a contract. See also Bouvier's Dictionarv of Law,
1856, Maxims of Law- "Ex facto ius oritun~Law arises out of fact; that is, its application must be to facts."
"Fraus et jus numquam cohabitant. Fraud and justice never agree together.")

breach of the peace and a breach of trust .¥ regards to Muurs/ Moors and Article 6 of the Constitution for the
united States of America of 1787-179t'and treaties; i.e. the Supreme Law ofthe Land (see Black's Law
Dictionarv, 4tb Ed., 1968- "BREAmi. The breaking or violating of a law, right, or duty, either by
commission or omission.", ''BREACH OF THE PEACE. A violation or disturbance of the public
tranquility and order. The offense of breaking or disturbing the public peace by any riotous, forcible, or

current 50 states' corporate democracies must cure their breach of the peace and breach of trust with Muurs/

i. As hereby confirmed on the date noted by a notary public, a default has occurred which constitutes
a default judgment via nil dicit, and there has been absolutely no response whatsoever to the public record
instrument No. 2015080734.

ii. All state and federal public official recipients listed in the public record instrument No. 2015080734
had well over thirty QID days to respond, or to even ask for more time to respond, and it has bee~ .-well over
~ CD and nine (2) months of pure and complete silence from all of the state and federal ppbiic official
recipients; in which there was a Gold, Silver and Copper backed obligation to re8pond should @f'one of them
have found even one iota of error or untruth. You also, United States President, Barack H.';dbama; United
States Secretary of the Treasury, Jacob Lew; United Nations Secretary General, Ban :rq,.ril:ti~n; United States
Attorney General, Loretta E. Lynch; United States Secretary of State, John Kerry and ~kansas State Attorney
General, Leslie Rutledge were recipients as well; who were charged with a duty to·!eSpond should you have
found even one iota of error or untruth. NOTE: The number seven (1) is the Dirine number of perfection;
with 49 being a multiple of 7; i.e. the amount of days it takes for the pineal gland io form after conception. In
our most ancient high cultures of the Ancestors of the Muurs/ Moors, the pineal gland represents the 3n1 eye
chakra (the eyes of Goddess/God that dwells with us) and the seat of the shUI; which when developed, gives us
the ability to see through ''maya"; i.e. illusions, lies and deceit and giv~~one the ability to reach the core truth.
(See Genesis 32:30, "And Jacob called the name of the place PenieJ:· for I have seen God face to face, and
my life is preserved.") Ma'at, the Ta-Merrian/ Egyptian Netert ;m.~fMother of truth of the immutable Laws of
Ma'at; i.e. the codified natural laws, sits within the heart chakra?This is the reason in the Ta-Merrian/ Egyptian
afterlife, the deceased person's heart was weighed on the seal~ against the feather of Ma' at; i.e. being weighed
against the truth. This is where the sayings "truth speaks to the heart" and all truth is spoken from the
heart" come from, and truth is also known as the mai:velous ligh!; as stated by Noble Drew Ali to the Muurs/
Moors. (See 'Pert Em Hru- The Book of Coming Folth by Day. The Papyrus of Ani/ Egytptian Book of the
Dead'; by E. A. Wallis Budge; whereas the 8!!!,.p~hciple of Ma'at is "I have not uttered lies." And, the 26!1!
principle of Ma' at is "I have not stopped my,eaiS against the words of Right and Truth.") The number nine
(2) is the Divine number of completion. ~t has now been over the common law year and day, Termes de fa ley;
which has created equitable estoppel (pals1 1and collateral estoppel, and estoppel via laches, and still, you gave
me nothing but pure, complete and. unobscured silence. Do not pretend as if you do not know about the
common Jaw. (See the United StateS'Department of .Justice at www.justice.gov/recovery,"The common law
is the will of mankind issuingCfrom the life of the people.", and Black's Law Dictionary, 4th Ed., 1968-
''YEAR AND DAY~ This period was fixed for many purposes in law, .. Also, a year and a day were given for

asked,tO:'protect, by means of the law, the image and likeness fashioned by God on everv human face."
Moshebt Musal Moses was educated in the laws ofMa'at. (See Acts 7:22. "And Moses was learned in all the
wiSdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.") And, he transcribed these laws in the Old
Testament Torah of the Holy Bible; which were confirmed by Yashua Ha Mashiakh that they are of a general
and permanent nature until Heaven and Earth passes away. (See Matthew 5:17-18, "Think not that I have
come to destroy the Jaw;· or the prophets: I have not come to destroy, buf to fulfill. For verily I say unto you,
Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fult'"dled." And,
see also Matthew 24:35, "Heaven·and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.") And, they
were reconfirmed again by the Prophet Mustafa Muhammad A1 Amin in the Holy Qur'an. The Laws of
Instrument# 2017026407 Page 37 of 235

Ma'at Mosaic Law and Moslem Law were all upon these lands long before European colonization. The
United States Congress knows that the Holy Bible is a major part of the formation of American common law,
declared it as the "Word of God", and even says that the teachings should be applied. (See United States
Statutes at Large 96 Stat. 1211 and Public Law 97-280.) So, you cannot honor Moses or his works without
honoring his teachers and the source from which his laws came, i.e. the Laws of Ma'at; which was the law
for Hekuptah/ Ta-merri/ Kemet/ Egypt, and in antiguity, these lands too. With this being stated, it is f"mished,

and the current 50 states' corporate democracies managed to settle their financial obligations since the 1933
bankruptcy under United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the Nixon Shock of 1971 under
United States President Richard M. Nixon? They did it through the use of Federal Reserve Bank credits; in
which the Federal Reserve Bank creates these credits out of thin air via book entrv ledger, i.e. nothing.
According to 'Potting it simply' by the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, "When you or I write a check there
must be sufficient funds in out account to cover- the check, but when the Feder-al Reser-ve writes a check

there is no bank deposit on which that check is drawn. When the Federal Reserve writes a check, it is
creating money." <NOTE: United States President Richard M. Nixon created a potential situation for
international war by closing the international window for the settlement of foreign debts in gold, and
created the petro-dollar by OPEC oil's requirement to be purchased only via the United States Federal
Reserve Note in misnomer as the United States Dollar. The Federal Reserve Note is NOT a United States
Dollar, for the United States dollar is lawfully based on silver coinage. See the Coinage Act of 1792; United

private banking is done with trust assets and~ a8set credit in conformity with the Unifonn Commercial Code
outside of the 14ih Amendment The Unifonn Commercial Code has the ability to operate with the de jure
private operations of banking, as well>;aS the 14th Amendment public operations of banking. This was
reserved within UCC 1-103 and 9-311,;'as well as other codes and articles of the Uniform Commercial Code. I
have had clearance from the Presid~_~tof the United States and the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States
Department of the Treasury to operate in this manner for quite some time. If it was not lawfully possible to
operate in this mauner, then,d}e' fiduciary trustees; i.e. the President of the United States and the Secretary of the
Treasury- of tlie United St,ttes Department of the Treasury, would have told me so in my requested written
manner of response long·~go. The problem is that the 14th Amendment banks did not expect me to know
any of this knowledge at all of how they trnly operate; including the identity of who I am in law and my
status in relationship to the land. They are afraid of competition, so therefore they tried to hold me in
slaverv via the·:l4th Amendment, and peonage by the forced continuous use of Federal Reserve Notes; while
also hoping tbat I would beseechingly ask them for alleged loans when they have nothing to lend in the first
place. 1'9~t:ii a form of economic genocide and slaverv and ont of order; especially when I am a Freeholder by

lo'Se'their customers from unscrupulous dealings as they have been doing for the longest time prior to and
since 1933. They assumed that I was Black, African-American or some other ens legis legal fiction, and !l!m
felt like they did not have to grant me remedy in Jaw, banking and in conformity with the Uniform
Commercial Code. How silly and foolish it is to judge someone by his or her skin tone when the world is
based on nationalities and the laws pertaining to them, and to think that I would carrv the same status as
everyone else of this color of law skin tone classification 'caste system' because of this. Black and White are
legal statuses, and you must have a nationality to properly obtain the status of White in law; or else white
Instrument# 2017026407 Page 41 of 235

becomes just another ens legis legal fiction. This lack of comprehension of status by the 14th Amendment
·United States citizens is a problem that I have had with the banks and clandestine BAR members for quite
some time now, but status is determined by law, and the law always gives remedy. (See Black's Law

1492 as a Paleo-American, Autochthonous Aboriginal, Indigenous Native American Muur and Pre-Columbian

Federal Reserve notes and other private paper circulated and respected in regards to 18 USC 8 and 31 USC
5103. (See the uscode.house.gov Tide 18, Section 8 'Obligation or other security of the United States

xi. Pursuant to public record instrument No. 2015080734, rights of Blood are the highest rights
granted by Divine and Natnral Law of the Most IDgh Creatress/ Creator of the heavens and earth. This is
the foundation of Paleo-American, Autochthonous Aborigine Law; which was first codified within the Laws
·of Ma'at, and which became the codified law when America was first annexed by the consanguineous Ta-
Nehesianl Kushite, Ta-Setianl Nubian and Ta-Merrianl Kemetian Empires. (NOTE: The Canaanite/
Phoenician/ Carthaginian Empire's and AI Moroccan Empire's annexations came later in history after their
consanguine families of Kush, Nubia and Kemet.) All civil law must take an inferior position to the Rights.of
Blood and Natural Law. (See Bouvier's Law Dictionary and Concise Encyclopedia by .John Bouvier:'3nt
Revision, 8tb Ed., 1914- "Leges naturae perfectissimae sunt et immutabiles; humani vero juris conditio. 'Semper
in infinitum decurrit. et nihil est in eo quod peroetuo stare possit. Leges humanae nascuniUt~ vivunt,
moriuntur. The laws of nature are most perfect and immutable; but the condition of hunlan law is an
unending succession, and there is nothing in it which can continue perpetually. Human laws ·are born, live,
and die.") In accordance with us misnomer "Black Indians" being the first people of·i.America and this
originally being our land; which was the oral history as given by my Great-Grandmother, Odessa Gibson-
Yancey, and her mother, my Great-Great Grandmother, Eliza .Johnson-Gibson, my";DNA has proven that!
am ancient and autochthonous to the Americas from North to South in toto (w~ch is actually one landmass
now called America; notwithstanding the manmade artifice called the Panam~rCanal), and I am a descendant
of the original peoples that populated the Americas as well as other Pr~€olumbian Pacific, Atlantic and
Asiatic migratory peoples. Your corporate structures have held thiS-· truth of the Paleo-American,
Autochthonous Aborigines now known as Muurs/ Moors as the orisiin81 people of the Americas for quite
some time, so I did not reveal anything new to you that you did •not already know. The difference is, !!m!
you know that we both know the truth. According to 'The ffidden mstory of the Human Race'; March 9'h,
1999, by Michael A. Cremo and Richard L. Thompson, "Forewo'id- by Graham Hancock (Author of Fingerprints
of the Gods) ' ... Let me say at the outset that I believe tQ!lf''book to be one of the landmark intellectual
achievements of the late twentieth centurv. It will fa!<:.!f(more conservative scholars a long while, probably
many years, to come to terms with the revelations<it contains. Nevertheless, Michael Cremo and Richard
Thompson have put the revelations out there and(the clock cannot now be turned back. Sooner or later,
whether we like it or not, our species is going t9 1 h~~e to come to terms with the facts that are so impressively
documented in the pages that follow, and these·facts are stunning. Cremo and Thompson's central proposition
js 1hat the mode' o_f _llulllafl prel)istory, carefUlly built-up by scholars over the past two centuries, is sadly and
completely wrong. Moreover, the autl!p(SI are not proposing that it can be put right with minor tinkering and
adjustments. What is needed is for the .eXisting model to be thrown out the window and for us to start again
with open minds and with absolu~(;!ly no preconceptions at all.'... RECENT EXAMPLES OF EOLITHIC
IMPLEMENTS FROM THE AMERICAS- Despite the best efforts of Barnes and Breuil, the eolith question
continues to haunt archeologiStS. Several anomalously old crude stone-tool industries of Eolithic type have
-been discovered in the Amei:icas. Most archeologists say Siberian hunters crossed into Alaska on a land
bridge that existed wheif'the last glaciation lowered sea levels. During this period, the Canadian ice sheet
blocked southward nnlrration until about 12,000 years ago, when the first American immigrants followed
an ice-free passag~'to what is now the United States. These people were the so-called Clovis hunters, famous
for their chara~!eristic spear points. These correspond to the highly evolved stone implements of the later
Paleolithic in>Etrrope. Nevertheless, many sites, excavated with modern archeological methods, have yielded
dates as gfeat as 30,000 years for humans in America. These sites include El Cedralin northern Mexico,
Santa -Barbara Island off California, and the rock-shelter of Boguierao do Sitio da Pedra Furada in
northern Brazil. Other controversial sites are far older than 30,000 years ... GEORGE CARTER AND THE
TEXAS STREET SITE- A good example of a controversial American early stone-tool industry reminiscent of
the European eoliths is the one discovered by George Carter in the 1950s at the Texas Street excavation in San
Diego. At this site, Carter claimed to have found hearths and crude stone tools at levels corresponding to
the last interglacial period, some 80,000-90,000 years ago. Critics scoffed at these claims, referring to Carter's
alleged tools as products of nature, or 'cartifacts,' and Carter was later publicly defamed in a Harvard course on
'Fantastic Archeology.' However, Carter gave clear criteria for distinguishing between his tools and
naturally broken rocks, and lithic experts such as John Witthoft have endorsed his claims... LOUIS

LEAKEY AND THE CALICO SITE- Leakey continued to harbor unorthodox views on this matter, and in 1964
he made an effort to collect some definite evidence at the Calico site in the Mojave Desert of California. This site
is situated near the shore of now-vanished Pleistocene Lake Manix. Over a period of eighteen years of excavation
under the direction of Ruth D. Simpson, 11,400 eolith-like artifacts were recovered from a number of levels. The
oldest artifact bearing level has been given an age of 200,000 years by the uranium series method ... TOCA
DA ESPERANSA. BRAZIL- Support for the authenticity of the Calico tools has come from a imd in
Brazil. In 1982, Maria Beltrao found a series of caves with wall paintings in the state of Bahia. In 1985, a tr;ench
~tin the Toea da Esperansa (Cave of Hope), and excavations in 1986 and 1987 yielded crude stone·~tools
associated with Pleistocene mammals. When the bones were tested by the uranium series method, ages in
excess of 200.000 years were obtained. The maximum age was 295.000 years." Also, .!!d'tording to

among African Americans, Afro-Caribbeans and Afro-Latin-Americans. In Brazil, J;>en3: ·et al. report that
85% of self-identified Afro-Brazilians have Haplogroup L mtDNA sequences,);; And, according to
phys.orglpdf79886094.pdf 'Tracing African-American Ancestry Difficult' by -.):Jie University of South
Carolina, ''The report by Dr. Bert Ely, a biology professor in the university's ColJege."of Arts and Sciences, and
colleagues at the universities of Massachusetts and Maryland reveals that fewer. than 10 percent of African-
American mitochondrial DNA sequences that were analyzed can be matched to mitochondrial DNA from
one single African ethnic group...The researchers, who were acknowJeclged for their work on the highly
acclaimed PBS series, 'African American Lives,' found that more thaii half of the African-American DNA
sequences were found in many different sub-Saharan ethnic -gr6ups. Fortv percent of the African-
American sequences did not match any sequences in the datab3Se; and fewer than 10 percent were an exact
match to a sequence from a single African ethnic group."; pctober 12!1!, 2006. The reason for this is what is
known as Identity by Descent (ffiD) and Identity by State·:<mS). Identity by descent is when people possess
genomic traits because they descend from a common ancestor. Identity by state is when a multitude of people in
a broad spectrum possess common genomic traits, but do .hot descend from a common ancestor; which points to
a multi-regional, independent evolution. This means that the genomic traits exist at the basal level of the
DNA structure, and from antiquity. Ancestral,and 'derived states of genes can and do exist within the basal
DNA; which can yield variations within identifY by state. Remember, in the science of genetics, the rule is
that the location with the highest concentration (volume) and highest diversity (frequency) for a genetic
expression denotes the place of origin, ?fld thus it is the Americas in this case. The genomic traits related to
the Duffy null allele, inability to process lactose, eumelanin pigmentation and curly hair have been used to
assign Paleo-American, Autochthom;>iis Aboriginal Muurs as being of direct sub-Saharan African Ancestry, but
our mitochondrial DNA (as Vf_~ll· as the Albert Perry Y chromosome AOO at approximately 270.000-340,000
years BP (before present) and .~e ancient archaeological finds in America tell a whole different story, and one
thaf"points to an ancient; - independent evolution --here in the Americas.-· And-- las"tly·; according to

now nanodiamorids found in the sediments from this time period point to an alternative: a massive

according to new research published today in 'Science'. The discovery lends support to a theory first advanced
last year in that some type of cosmic impact or impacts- a fragmented comet bursting in the atmosphere or raining
down on the oceans- set off the more than 1,300-year cooling period in the Northern Hemisphere known as the
Younger Dryas for the abundance of an alpine flower's pollen found during the interval. The cooling period
interrupted an extended warming out of an ice age predicted by slight changes in Earth's orbit (known as
Milankovitch cycles) that continues today. And it remains an unexplained anomaly in the climate record. But a
series of cometary fragments exploding over North America might explain a layer of soil immediately prior to the
Instrument# 2017026407 Page 45 of 235

cooling containing unusually high levels of iridium, an element more common in cosmic wanderers like
meteoroids than in Earth's crust. Paired with the fact that this layer occurs directly before the extinction of at
least 35 genera of large mammals, including mammoths, it is strong circumstantial evidence for a cosmic event.
'Very strong impact indicators are found in the sediments directly above, and often shrouding in the case of
Murray Springs, the remains of these animals and the people who were hunting them,' says archaeologist and
study co-author Doug Kennett of the University of Oregon in Eugene, the son in the father-son team helping to
advance the new impact theory. 'Is it a comet? Is it a carbonaceous chondrite? Was it fragmented? w;as .it
focused? Based on the distribution of the diamonds, it was certainly large scale.' Preliminary searches .,further
afield- Europe, Asia and South America- have turned up similar minerals and elements in sediments <;>f the same
age, Kennett says, and his own work on California's Channel Islands tells a tale of a massive burn-off, followed
by erosion and a total change in the flora of the region... "; January 200, 2009. As I had stated i~''jmblic record
instrument No. 2015080734, human activity was shown at the Topper site in South Carolina a( approximately
50,300-51,700 years BP (before present), and sea travel was already being conducted at approximately
130,000 years BP (before present) by evidence of the Cretan artifacts found on the island of Crete. It would not
have been difficult for my ancestors to flee from this disaster and go into other paHs of America, or ~
flee to Mrica. And also, as I stated in public record instrument No. 2015080734, mt:i>NA Macro-hapJogroup L

AOO currently carries the basal ancestral state for all known Y chromosome SNPs, are the only mtDNA and

presented; just as I showed in public record instrument No. 2015080734 with Y Chromosome Macro-
haplogroup AOO and the Hueyatlaco site, BUT THEY DO NOT·FIT THE OUT OF AFRICA MODEL OR
ITS TIMELINE. (NOTE: It has already been genetically proven that Mongoloid and Caucasoid

mtDNA haplogroups A, !!, C, D and X, as well as Y chromosome haplogroups Q, ~ and R are actually quite
recent in relation to these ancient American sites and the misnomer Negroid existence here in the Americas.

Ancestry is primarily in actualitv'Paleo-American, Autochthonous Aborigine ancestry, and that the Southeast
Asian Negroid ancestry and':Native American Siberian Mongoloid ancestry came much later in genetic
descent:) Now, according to the research of independent geneticist TYt'one Cannon- oH>eri:h, Western Australia,
out of 351 so-called Negroes/ African-Americans as research subjects, 88% of research subjects carry the
Native American genetic markers, and 90.5% of research subjects carry the Southeast Asian genetic
markers. 99.7% .of>research subjects carry both sets of genetic markers. These markers register in the

Marque:z;, .author of 'Estudios Argueologicos y Etnograficos- Torno 1'; the founding population of the
AmericaS. was of misnomer Negroid stock, and which formed the basis for which the other phenotypes had
mixed in with to create the misnomer Native American. Genetically, the mtDNA sub-haplogroups of A, .J!,
!;;~ D and X, and Y chromosome sub-haplogroups of Q, C and R, as well as the phenotype and morphology of
the misnomer Native Americans today, are way too young to have been contemporary with sites such as the
Pygmy Skulls of Holliston Mills, Eastern Tennessee, the Topper site in South Carolina, the HueyatJaco site
in Mexico, the Texas Street site and Calico site which are both in California, and even older sites throughout
the Americas. The so-called African-Americans' gene pool, phenotypes and morphology are the only ones
today who were and are contemporary to these sites, and actually predate them as well. This is a scientific
fact which cannot be disputed. DNA scientific data is used to determilie paternities, maternities, rapes,

said respecting this figure. But verbal explanation of it is really unnecessary. It tells its own tale admirably. It is
like opening the shutters of a dark room. If tht(Vireinian Indians were found in possession of such an Idol as
this, they must have had histories veiT 'different from those with which North American Indians are
commonly credited. Looking at it, tq9,ughtfu1ly, one can hardly believe that the Virginian Indians worshipped
such a God as this. Perhaps it is orgy~·a picture: but that makes no difference; where did they get it, and how?
Here is a black man, yet he has':not Negro's features. He is well dressed. Then he holds in his hand a very fine
specimen of a Negro's head,. ~bout which there can be no mistake. He is called God of the winds, and he holds
in his hand the symbols of. navigation. But who is he? From what harbour did he set sail? That guestion is
easily answered, from hj.S' features and colour. He comes from Africa. But, is it possible that the Virginian
Indians had intercourse, by navigation, with Mrica, and that before the arrival of the European races! One
is at liberty to he.s~~te before he reaches that conclusion. But why should he be called a God of the Vireinian
Indians? On th~; whole, it is manifest, that the great hiatus of history, which has arisen out of the blunder of the
sunken Island:of the Atlantis, has to be filled up with incidents, histories, and navigation, of which the people of
modem R,urope have at present no reasonable conception. The sudden appearance of this Mrican navigator in
the lodies of the Virginian Indians, acts as a stimulant of thought. Looking at the figure, it suggests the
supposition that the route of Mrica must have supplied the medium of communication between the
inliabitants of the mounds and the shores of the old continent. The distance between the North-Eastern parts
of South America and the coast of Mrica is not greater than the length of the Mediterranean Sea. This
suggestion agrees with the Classical myths. The course of research has now brought this enquiry to those events
which must have opened up the passage of the Atlantic, and it will soon be found that the story hangs on to
Mrica, as being, at least, one of the earliest landing places of the Atlantic race, in their search for

duly elected Senators and Representatives appeared in the Capitol of the United States.t()'."take their seats at
the time for the opening of the 39th Congress, and again at the times for the opening-of-the 40th and the 41st
Congresses, hostile majorities in both Houses refused to admit them to their seats<,ifi manifest violation of
Articles I and V of the United States Constitution; and Whereas, the said Congr~!J~:es·; not being constituted of
Senators and Representatives from each State as required by the Supreme-Law of the land, were not, in
Constitutional contemplation, anything more than private assemblages uDiawfully attempting to exercise
the Legislative Power of the United States; and Whereas, the so-called 391b.-"congress, which proposed to the
Legislatures of the several States an amendment to the Constitution 6fthe United States, known as the 141b
Amendment, and the so-called 401b Congress, which proposed~/an amendment known as the 15th
Amendment, were without lawful power to propose any amendihent whatsoever to the Constitution; and
Whereas, two-thirds of the Members of the House of Representatives and of the Senate, as they should have
been constituted, failed · to vote for the submission of tliese amendments; and Whereas, all proceedings
subsequently flowing from these invalid proposals, pUrporting to establish the so-called 141b and 151b

Whereas, furthermore, when these invalid proposalS)were rejected by the General Assembly of the State of
Georgia, and twelve other Southern States, as,-~eJi as of sundrv Northern States, the so-called 39!'1 and 4()ili
Congresses, in flagrant disregard of the United States Constitution, by the use of militarv force, dissolved
the duly recognized State Governments lin·· Georgia and nine of the other southern States and set up
militarv occupation or puppet State governments, which compliantly ratified the invalid proposals, thereby
making (at the point of the bayonet) .ainockerv of Section 4, Article IV of the Constitution, guaranteeing
a
"to every State in this Union Republican Form of Government," and guaranteeing protection to "each of
them against invasion"; and Wliereas, further, the pretended ratification of the so-called 141b and 151b
Amendments by Georgia and:O'tber States whose sovereign powers had been unlawfully seized by force of
arms against the peace and.dignity of the people of those States, were necessary to give color to the claim of
the so-called 401b and 41~! -tongresses that these so-called amendments had been ratified by three-fourths of
the States; and Wh~r~iis~ it is a well-established principle of law that the mere lapse of time does not confirm
by common acquie1.cence an invalidly-enacted provision of law just as it does not repeal by general
desuetude a proVision validly enacted; and Whereas, the continued recognition of the 141b and 151b
Amendment:S::as valid parts of the Constitution of the United States is incompatible with the present day
position of'the United States as the World's champion of Constitutional governments resting upon the
consent of the people given through their lawful representatives; Now, therefore, be it resolved by the General
Asse91bly of the State of Georgia: The Congress of the United States is hereby memorialized and respectfully
uigea to declare that the exclusions of the Southern Senators and Representatives from the 391h, 4()1b and 41st

that the forms of law with which those invalid Congresses attempted to clothe the submission of the 141b

proposed amendments, imparted no validity to these acts and amendments; and that the so-called 14th and

as at present constituted, has departed from the Constitution as it has been interpreted from its inception
and has followed the urgings of social reformers in foisting upon this Nation laws which even Congress
could not constitutionally pass. It has amended the Constitution in a manner unknown to the document
itself. While it takes three fourths of the states of the Union to change the Constitution legally, yet as few as
iiv;""men who have never been elected to office can by judicial fiat accomplish a change just as ntdlcal as
could three fourths of the states of this Nation. As a result of the recent holdings of that :court, the
sovereignty of the states is practically abolished, and the erst while free and independent states' are now in
effect and purpose merely closely supervised units in the federal svstem. We do not believe that justices of
once free and independent states should surrender their constitutional powers without bei,D!i heard from. We
~-"")
would betray the trust of our people if we sat supinely by and permitted the great bulk of our powers to be
taken over by the federal courts without at least stating reasons why it should not~be so. By attempti_ng to
save the dual relationship which bas heretofore existed between state and federal autl(dnty and which is clearly set
out in the Constitution, we think we act in the best interest of our countrv. We:feellike galley slaves chained
to our oars by a power from which we cannot free ourselves, but like slave5.of old we think we must cry out
when we can see the boat heading into the maelstrom directly ahead ·o t'us; and by doing so, we hope the
master of the craft will heed the call and avert the dangers which confront us an. But by raising our voices in
protest we, like the galley slaves of old, expect to be lashed for do~ng'·-so. We are confident that we will not be
struck by 90 per cent of the people of this Nation who long for tlie~ return to the days when the Constitution
was a document plain enough to be understood by an who read it, the meaning of which was set firmly like
a jewel in the matrix of common sense and wise judicial deciSions. We shall not complain if those who berate
us belong to that sman group who refuse to take an oath that they will not overthrow this government by
force. When we bare our legal backs to receive the ':'~tl:ial lashes, we will try to be brave; and should the great
court of these United States decide that in our t:h.irtKing we have committed error, then we shall indeed feel
honored, for we will then be placed on an equal J.o()tfug with all those great justices who at this late date are also
said to have been in error for so many years.:_:J Iii.regard to the Fourteenth Amendment which the present
Supreme Court of the United States haS ' by decision chosen as the basis for invading the rights and
prerogatives of the sovereign states~)<::is appropriate to look at the means and methods by which that
amendment was foisted upon the Nation in times of emotional stress. We have no desire at this time to have
the Fourteenth Amendment declareg-unconstitutional. In fact, we are not asked to do that. We merely want to
show what type of a horse that 'C ourt has to ride in order to justify its usurpation of the prerogatives of the
states. It is common knowledge' that any assumption of power will always attract a certain following, and !f
no resistance is offered to this show of strength, then the asserted oowers are accepted without question ...
The method of amendin(the Federal Constitution is provided for in Article V of the original document. ~
other method will a&omplish this purpose... Despite the fact that the southern states had been functioning
peacefully for two years
7 and had been counted to secure ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment
Congress passed-·the Reconstruction Act, which provided for the military occupation of 10 of the 11
southern states. It excluded Tennessee from military occupation, and one must suspect it was because Tennessee
had ratifj.~"the Fourteenth Amendment on July 7, 1866. The Act further disfranchised practically an white
voters ·an'd provided that no senator or congressman from the occupied states 'c ould be seated in Congress
until.a' new constitution was adopted by each state which would be approved by Congress, and further
proVided that each of the 10 states must ratify the proposed Fourteenth Amendment and the Fourteenth
Amendment must become a part of the Constitution of the United States before the military occupancy
would cease and the states be anowed to have seats in Congress. By the time the Reconstruction Act had
been declared to be the law, three more states had ratified the proposed Fourteenth Amendment, and two
Louisiana and Delaware had rejected it. Then Maryland withdrew its prior ratification and rejected the proposed
Fourteenth Amendment. Ohio followed suit and withdrew its prior ratification, as also did New Jersey. California,
which earlier had voted not to pass upon the proposal, now voted to reject the amendment. Thus 16 of the 37
Instrument# 2017026407 Page 56 of 235

states had rejected the proposed amendment. By spurious, non-representative governments seven of the
southern states which had theretofore rejected the proposed amendment under the duress of military
occupation and of being denied representation in Congress did attempt to ratify the proposed Fourteenth
Amendment. The Secretary of State on July 20, 1868, issued his proclamation wherein he stated that it was his
duty under the law to cause amendments to be published and certified as a part of the Constitution when he
received official notice that they had been adopted pursuant to the Constitution... Congress was not satisfied
with the proclamation as issued and on the next day passed a concurrent resolution wherein it was resqlyed
'That said fourteenth article is hereby declared to be a part of the Constitution of the United States;; ahd it
shall be duly promulgated as such by the Secretary of State.' Thereupon, William H. Seward, the S.efre'tary of
State, after setting forth the concurrent resolution of both houses of Congress, then certified that tl}~ . 'iiinendment
'has become valid to all intents and purposes as a part of the Constitution of the United'<States.' The
Constitution of the United States is silent as to who should d~ide whether a proposed amen~ent' has or has not
been passed according to formal provisions of Article V of the Constitution. The Supreme Conrt of the United
States is the ultimate authority on the meaning of the Constitution and has never hesitated in a proper case
to declare an act of Congress unconstitutional except when the act purported to .amend the Constitution.
The duty of the Secretary of State was ministerial, to wit, to count and dete~e when three fourths of the
states had ratified the proposed amendment. He could not deten:niile that a· state once having rejected a
proposed amendment could thereafter approve it, nor could he determine<tliat a state once having ratified
that proposal could thereafter reject it. The court and not Congresf~should determine such matters.
Consistency would seem to require that a vote once cast would be fin!d(oi-would not be final, whether the first
vote was for ratification or rejection. In order to have 27 states .i~tlfy the Fourteenth Amendment, it was
necessary to count those states which had first rejected and then under the duress of military occupation
had ratified, and then also to count those states which initihlly ratified but subsequently rejected the
proposal. To leave such dishonest counting to a fractional:'part of Congress is dangerous in the extreme.
What is to prevent any political partv having control ot~both houses of Congress from refusing to seat the
opposition and then without more passing a joint reSolution to the effect that the Constitution is amended
and that it is the duty of the Administrator of~~the General Services Administration to proclaim the
adoption? Would the Supreme Court of the United States still say the problem was political and refuse to
determine whether constitutional standards-had been met? How can it be conceived in the minds of anyone
that a combination of powerful states (':ctin by force of arms deny another state a right to have
representation in Congress until it haSVratified an amendment which its people oppose? The Fourteenth
Amendment was adopted by means-almost as bad as that suggested above. We have spoken in the hope that
the Supreme Court of the United States may retreat from some of its recent decisions affecting the rights of
a sovereign state to determineCfor itself what is proper procedure in its own courts as it affects its own
citizens. However, we realizeJiiat because of that Court's superior power, we must pay homage to it even though
we disagree with it...", ~P · Www.justia.com the stare decisis of Marbury v. Madison. 5 U.S. 137 (1803),
"Certainly all those who·;h~ve framed written Constitutions contemplate them as forming the fundamental and
paramount law of the dation, and consequently the theory of every such government must be that an act of the
Legislature repugOilnt ·to the Constitution is void... If an act of the Legislature repugnant to the
Constitution is:-void, does it, notwithstanding its invalidity, bind the Courts and oblige them to give it effect? Or,
in other words; though it be not law, does it constitute a rule as operative as if it was a law? This would be to
overthrow¥W fact what was established in theory, and would seem, at first view, an absurdity too gross to be
insisted on. It shall, however, receive a more attentive consideration... This doctrine would subvert the very
foundation of all written Constitutions. It would declare that an act which, according to the principles and
theory of our government, is entirely void, is yet, in practice, completely obligatory. It would declare that, if
the Legislature shall do what is expressly forbidden, such act, notwithstanding the express prohibition, is in
reality effectual. It would be giving to the Legislature a practical and real omnipotence with the same breath
which professes to restrict their powers within narrow limits. It is prescribing limits, and declaring that those
limits may be passed at pleasure... Thus, the particular phraseology of the Constitution of the United States
confirms and strengthens the principle, supposed to be essential to all written Constitutions, that a law
repugnant to the Constitution is void, and that courts, as well as other departments, are bound by that

that, notwithstanding the formal recognition by those States of the abolition of slaven';'the condition of the
slave race would, without further protection of the Federal government be almost~as bad as it was before.
Among the first acts of legislation adopted by several of the States in the legislati"e bodies which claimed to
be in their normal relations with the Federal government were laws which miposed upon the colored race
onerous disabilities and burdens and curtailed their rights in the pursuitof life, liberty, and property to
such an extent that their freedom was of little value, while they had lost the protection which they had
received from their former owners from motives both of interest and:hlunanity. They were in some States
forbidden to appear in the towns in any other character than menialservants. They were reguired to reside
on and cUltivate the soil without the right to purchase or ,.6\vn it. They were excluded from many
occupations of g~ and were not permitted to give testimoni:in the courts in any case where a white man
was a party. It was said that their lives were at the mercy of bad men, either because the laws for their
protection were insufficient or were not enforcedf\·These circumstances, whatever of falsehood or
misconception may have been mingled with their presentation, forced upon the statesmen who bad conducted the
Federal government in safety through the crisis of t:Qe~rebellion, and who supposed that, by the thirteenth article of
amendment, they bad secured the result of their .l!i.bbrs, the conviction that something more was necessary in the
way of constitutional protection to the unfort\l~ate race who bad suffered so much. They accordingly passed
through Congress the proposition for the :fourteenth amendment, and they declined to treat as restored to
their full participation in the governmeiit bf the Union the States which had been in insurrection until they
ratified that article by a formal vote of their legislative bodies. Before we proceed to examine more critically
the provisions of this amendment, 011 :which the plaintiffs in error rely, let us complete and dismiss the history
of the recent amendments, ·as th~t history relates to the general purpose which pervades them all ... The
question presented is, therefor~;' hne of the gravest importance not merely to the parties here, but to the whole
country. It is nothing less than'the question whether the recent amendments to the Federal Constitution protect the
citizens of the United s~i~s against the deprivation of their common rights by State legislation. In my judgment,
the fourteenth amen9!D~nt does afford such protection, and was so intended by the Congress which framed and
the States which,adopted it... It is not necessary, however, as I have said, to rest my objections to the act in
question upon (!he terms and meaning of the thirteenth amendment. The provisions of the fourteenth
amendment/which is properly a supplement to the thirteenth, cover, in my judgment, the case before us, and
inhibit any }lekislation which confers special and exclusive privileges like these under consideration... The first of
these q~estions is one of vast importance, and lies at the very foundations of our government. The guestion is
now·,settled by the fourteenth amendment itself, that citizenship of the United States is the primary
citizenship in this country, and that State citizenship is secondary and derivative, depending upon
citizenship of the United States and the citizen's place of residence... Admitting, therefore, that formerly the
States were not prohibited from infringing any of the fundamental privileges and immunities of citizens of the
United States, except in a few specified cases, that cannot be said now, since the adoption of the fourteenth
amendment.", and Georgia v. Stanton. 73 U.S. 50 (1867) for the destruction of the southern states'

xvii. --;1 Y\Vhereas, the united States of North America Republic was firmly established as a Republic, and

The-Same Subject Continued The Union as a Safeguard Against Domestic Faction and Insurrection', "If a
faction consists of less than a majority, relief is supplied by the republican principle, which enables the
majority to defeat its sinister views by regular vote. It may clog the administration, it may convulse the society;
but it will be unable to execute and mask its violence under the forms of the Constitution... From this view of
the subject it may be conclude<\ that a pure democracy, l:ly which I 111~ a society consisting of a small number
of citizens, who assemble and administer the government in person, can admit of no cure for the mischiefs
Instrument# 2017026407 Page 63 of 235

of faction. A common passion or interest will, in almost every case, be felt by a majority of the whole; !
coinmunication and concert result from the form of government itself; and there is nothing to check the
inducements to sacrifice the weaker party or an obnoxious individual. Hence it is that such democracies
have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal
security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent
in their deaths. Theoretic politicians, who have patronized this species of government, have erroneously
supposed that by reducing mankind to a perfect eauality in their ·-political .rights, they would, at the same
time, be oerfectiy equalized and assimilated in their possessions, their opinions, and their oassioiis: A
. republic, by which I mean a government in which the scheme of representation takes place, opens a,.llifferent
prospect, and promises the cure for which we are seeking. Let us examine the points in which it v'aries from
pure democracy, and we shall comprehend both the nature of the cure and the efficacv which i~must derive
from the Union. The two great points of difference between a democracy and a republic' are: first, the
delegation of the government in the latter, to a small number of citizens elected by the~rest; secondly, the
greater number of citizens, and greater sphere of country, over which the latter may. b'e extended ... On the
other hand, the effect may be inverted. Men of factious tempers, of local prejudices; or of sinister designs,
may, by intrigue, by corruption, or by other means, first obtain the suffrages, ~n1:1· then betray the interests,
of the people. The question resulting is, whether small or extensive republicS -are more favorable to the
election of proper guardians of the public weal; and it is clearly decided in.favor of the latter by two obvious
considerations: In the first place, it is to be remarked that, howeyer~ small the republic may be, the
representatives must be raised to a certain number, in order to I!Wlrd li!!'iunst the cabals of a few; and that,
however large it may be, they must be limited to a certain number, ,in''order to guard against the confusion of a
multitude. Hence, the number of representatives in the two casev'hot being in proportion to that of the two
constituents, and being proportionally greater in the small ~epliblic, it follows that, if the proportion of fit
characters be not less in the large than in the small repuq1}c; the former will present a greater option, and
consequently a greater probability of a fit choice. In th~ ;,Q'ext place, as each representative will be chosen by a
greater number of citizens in the large than in the siil'all republic, it will be more difficult for unworthy
candidates to practice with success the vicious ~lis by which elections are too often carried; and the
suffrages of the people being more free, will be ~o~eiikely to centre in men who possess the most attractive merit
and the most diffusive and established characteh ... The other point of difference is, the mater number of
,/

citizens and extent of territory which mayi:be brought within the compass of republican than of democratic
· government; and it is this circumstance <piincipally which renders factious combinations less to be dreaded
in the former than in the latter... H~J1Ce, it clearly appears, that the same advantage which a republic has over
a democracy, in controlling the etfeets of faction, is enjoyed by a large over a small republic, - is enjoyed by
the Union over the States comOOsing it... In the extent and proper structure of the Union, therefore, we behold a
republican remedy for the diSeases most incident to republican government. And according to the degree of
pleasure aridpride we fe~l.,tn· 6eing republicans, ought to be our-zeal in chensliing the spirit aiid supportfug the

of 1836 (see the Congressional Record of the 72Dd Congress, .Tune toiL. 1932, "Mr. Chairman, we have in this

and the Federal Reserve Banks. The Federal Reserve Board, a Government board, has cheated the
Government of these United States and the people of the United States out of enough money to pay the.
national debt. The depredations and iniquities of the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve
Banks acting together have cost this country enough money to pay the national debt several times over...
This evil institution has impoverished and ruined the people of the United States; has bankrupted itself, and
has practically bankrupted our Government. It has done this through the defects of the law under which it
operates, through the maladministration of that law by the Federal Reserve Board, and through the COJ.V!pt
practices of the moneyed vultures who control it. Some people think the Federal Reserve Banks are United States
Government institutions. They are not Government institutions. They are private monopolies which prey
upon the people of the United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign customers;.foreign and
domestic speculators and swindlers; and rich and predatory money lenders... In 1912 the Na#phaJ Monetary
Association, under the chairmanship of the late Senator Nelson W. Aldrich, made a report,,and presented a
vicious bill called the National Reserve Association bill. This bill is usually spoken of9rs· the Aldrich bill.
Senator Aldrich did not write the Aldrich bill. He was the tool, but not the accomplice, 1••pPthe European born
bankers who for nearly 20 years had been scheming to set up a central bank indlils countrv and who in
1912 had spent and were continuing to spend vast sums of money to accomplish":'their purpose. The Aldrich
bill was condemned in the platform upon which Theodore Roosevelt was nominat~in the year 1912, and in that
same
'
year, when Woodrow Wilson was nominated, the Democratic platfo'ini. as adopted at the Baltimore
-~-':>
convention, expressly stated: "We are opposed to the Aldrich plan .or·· a central bank." This was plain
Language. The men who ruled the Democratic Party then promised tliepeople that if they were returned to
power there would be no central bank established here while they 'held the reins of government. Thirteen
months later that promise was broken, and the Wilson admiqi~tration, under the tutelage of those sinister
Wall Street figureS who stood behind Colonel House, establiShed here in our free countrv the worm eaten
monarchical institution of the "king's bank" to control us·trom the top downward, and to shackle us from
the cradle to the grave. The Federal Reserve act destroyed our old and characteristic way of doing business;
it discriminated against our 1-name commercial paper. the finest in the world; it set up the antiquated 2-
name paper, which is the present curse of this country, and which has wrecked every country which has
ever given it scope; it fastened down upon this~oountry the very tyranny from which the framers of the
Constitution sought to save us. One of the greatest battles for the preservation of this Republic was fought
out here In .Jackson's day, when the Second-Bank of the United States, which was founded upon the same
false principles as those which.are ·exentplitied in the Federal Reserve act, was.hurled out of existence. After
the downfall of the Second Bank of.tlie United States in 1837, the country was warned against the dangers
that might ensue if the predatory, futerests, after being cast out, should come back in disguise and unite
themselves to the Executive,_ 3i:ld through him acquire control of the Government. That is what the
predatory interests did whtf.i 'they came back in the livery and hypocrisy and under false pretenses
obtabied the passage of .the Federal Reserve act. The danger that the country was warned against came
upon us and is shown in..lb.e long train of horrors attendant upon the affairs of the traitorous and dishonest
Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks. Look around you when you leave.this chamber and
you will see evid~n~es of it on all sides. This is an era of economic misery and for the conditions that caused
that misery, tit~?- •Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks are fully liable. This is an era of
financed criine and in the financing of crime, the Federal Reserve Board does not play the part of a
disinterested' spectator... Recently In one of our States 60.000 dwelling houses and farms were brought under
the hamiiler in a single day. According to the Rev. Father Charles E. Coughlin, who has lately testified before a
co~ttee of this House, 71,000 houses and farms in Oakland County, Mich., have been sold and their
erstwhile owners dispossessed. Similar occurrences have probably taken place in every county in the
United States. The people who have thus been driven out are the wastage of the Federal Reserve act. They
are the victims of the dishonest and unscrupulous Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks.

legal fiCtions, are all bankrupt, as well as all commercial banks, credit unions, and corporations too, and
wp.~reas, the commercial banks cannot be trusted to operate in clean hands and good faith due to massive
financial corruption (see the Congressional Record of the 102nd Congress, May 4tb, 1992 'National and
International Thieverv in High Places', ''The average citizen, and I would almost hazard to say the average
Member of Congress, and not members of these committees in either the House or the Senate, would conclude
that the Committee on Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs has jurisdiction on matters that would seem obvious
and common sense to have jurisdiction, but we do not. As a matter of fact, there are areas of activity that I think
the average citizen who reads his Constitution would absolutely conclude that the Committee on Banking,
Instrument# 2017026407 Page 67 of 235

Finance and Urban Affairs of the House had jurisdiction, but it does not. Such things, for instance, as the
constitutional mandate- not a privllege, it is a mandate- that the Congress control the purse, Treasury; that
it also set and determine the value of its coinage or currency, as we say nowadays. However, that is not
really so... for example, in the matter of affixing the value of the money and coins thereof, that was long
abdicated by the Congress after the passage of the Federal Reserve Board Act of 1913 and the creation
within the activities of that board of such a thing as the Open Market Committee. That was structured not
unlike the set-up ofour mother country, England, but today the operations of the Fed are actually of an epoch
and an era that no longer reflects the activities in England or Great Britain. For example, it used to be that
the Chancellor of the Exchequer could, until actually not too long ago, determine the fall or rise of any~cttbinet
or government in England by just the power to set the value of the bills, of notes, bills~t'.-so forth.
Unfortunately, today the Federal Reserve, through its Open Market Committee, has, .that power...
Unfortunately, the last three years of Mr. Volcker's regime he lost that power as far as controlling it, in view of
external forces, international forces, over which he was able to preside over the loss,:of .that control,!!!!
matter what we do domestically, as is being proven today by the so-called control... Tlie truth of the matter
is that the Federal Reserve Board is totally independent of anything that Congres8·wants to do, or for that
matter the executive branch ... They have all kinds of jargon to try to explain tHis,-but the simple language
that anybody can understand, these are not matters of esoteric or secret or-magical things left to the high
priests of finance, but they just happened to hide their thieveu in this kind'ofsecrecy where it is the secrecy
to keep from the American people what is going on that has enabl@ it, not all of their jargon and
gobbledygook·and eveuthing else that they enshroud whenever- theY> went to their- activities. I wanted to
make sure Members understand that the Federal Reserve Board is 'not a Federal agency. It is a creature of
and responds to the commercial banking system, private, and, tlie' way it has worked its independence, it is
totally independent even though it was not created from on:::high. It was the Congress that created the
Federal Reserve. So the Congress though, for whatever good· reason or bad, !§, and has been very unwilling
and probably will be. The tragedy is that all of this seer6s to be waiting just for this whole house of cards to
fall around our heads, and this time even beyond our shores. and ricocheting back and forth. There are
connections. I have been developing one aspect because of our responsibility in the Banking Committee where we
at least can say that we attempted to provide~-~·1 framework or a system whereby these men that the same
Congresses have placed in charge of regulating,!hf banking and financial industry will at least have no excuse to
condone what bas been going on, an.d continues to go on and is going on even now as I speak this morning,
And that is international banking... Today it is the Federal Reserve Board that cranks the printing presses,
it is not the politicians, it is not the. Congress. It is the Federal Reserve Board, even though the Federal
Reserve Board is dermed in the Federal Reserve Board Act of 1913 as being the fiscal agent of the U.S.
Treasury. But it has turned ouHo be the other way around ... So, generally, contrary to the commonly held
belief that the committee woUld have jurisdiction over such things as the beayy, you could say symbiotic or
indissoluble-liriK Oeiween)~·<J.iiking and securities investment, or Wall Street specUlation and gambling, ~
do not... I have discuss~(l' the BNL, the Italian bank and its agency facility in Atlanta at great length. I have
brought out some oOf~: actual alliances and some of its henchmen involved in criminal exploitation and being
conveniently used by' our national leaders to do such things as provide letters of credit in the hundreds of
millions and billions of dollars for Iraq, right up to the very point of the invasion of Kuwait. That was possible
only because~~as it is still pretty much the case even though there was that scandal, but more the BCCI scandal
which w~~}llie one that seemed to gain the national attention and daily headlines, but we do not hear anything
about i~ now. But BNL, we had been talking on BNL for almost a year before BCCI broke, and the BNL, from a
certain 'standpoint as far as our national interests are concerned is far more insidious than the BCCI. But that is
also'tied in with another aspect that I have spoken out about with no seeming impact on anybody, including my
fellows on the Banking Committee or those off the Banking Committee, and that has to do with the debauching
or the fast approaching little value of our money and our currency. I have been speaking out on this since
1979, specifically in August 1979. Nobody seems to much care even now, even though it has everything to do
with my colleagues constituents' jobs, and what their money is worth, which would be important even in the case
of defense. What good does it do to have a highly touted defense system, No. 1 in the world today, if the value of
the money is not worth much? The dollar has lost about 60-plus percent of its value just since 1986, and
Instrument# 2017026407 Page 68 of 235

against gold it is over 1.000 percent loss of value. I wanted to develop today two things that are linked and are
interchangeable, and the BNL and the BCCI are just symptoms of the malaise and how the local corrupt setup
domestically happens at a critical moment in the world's development to svnc with the international
corrupt system, criminally oriented, and which will be very difficult to have policed worldwide unless there
is some new leadership, and I think it is a little too late for that, emanating to try to safeguard not now just this
national interest but mostly the industrial nations' interest... Since the Department of Treasury has been doing
everything it can to hide its insolvency, it has to depend on such entities as the quote-unquote Salomon ~ros.
and others... I am asked, 'Well, Henry, if you had your way, what would be the biggest single thing youjvould
want?' Well, it is very simple, Solvency, solvency, solvency. We are bankrupt. We are insolvent<ill' every
level of our national life, whether it is corporate, whether it is just plain you and I out here wit:J:dhe level of

Youtube.com broadcast called 'Know Your Constitution; Part 3 of 3' by Carl Miller ofD.eiroit, Michigan, at
approximately the 16 minute mark of the video, Carl Miller proves that the Federal Re8~rve Bank system is
bankrupt by going to a Federal Reserve bank window for redemption of $500.00 g~la certificates. Instead of
paying the man his gold certificates that he was there to lawfully redeem, the Eedei-al Reserve clerk at the
window called the SWAT team on him to have him removed from the premises: The SWAT lieutenant walks
up to Carl to see what the problem was. Carl shows proof of claim that he is ~olding $500.00 of gold certificates
in $20 denominations which renders the physical gold to be payable to thebearer upon demand. The SWAT
lieutenant told the Federal Reserve clerk to pay Carl his gold, and tol&tliem both they are leaving. The clerk
finally admitted that the Federal Reserve did not have the gold toJio'nor the obligation. Carl MilJer proves

.Jurisprudence 2d., ~o~titutional Law; Sec. 256 (1962)- 'Generally': ''The general rule is that !!!
unconstitutional statute, whether Federal or State, though having the form and name of law is in reality no
law, but is wholly void and ineffective for any purpose since unconstitutionality dates from the time of the
enactment, anq..lnot merely from the date of the decision so branding it. An unconstitutional law in legal
contemplation; is as inoperative as if it never had been passed. Such a statute leaves a guestion that it
purports tch;ettJe just as it would be had the statute not ever been enacted. No repeal of an enactment is
necessarY:, since an unconstitutional law is void. The general principles follows that it imposes no duties,
conferS no rights, creates no office, bestows no power of authority on anyone, affords no protection and
justifies no acts performed under it. A contract which rests on an unconstitutional statute creates no
obligation to be impaired by subseguent legislation. No one is bound to obey an unconstitutional Jaw. Ng
courts are bound to enforce it. Persons convicted and fined under a statute subsequently held
unconstitutional may recover the fines paid. A void act cannot be legally inconsistent with a valid one and an
unconstitutional law cannot operate to supersede an existing valid law. Indeed, in so far as a statute runs
counter to the fundamental law of the land, it is superseded thereby. Since an unconstitutional statute
cannot repeal, or- in any way affect an existing one, if a repealing statute is unconstitutional, the statute which

I Instrument# 2017026407 Page 69 of 235

it attempts to repeal remains in full force and effect. And where a statute in which it attempts to repeal
remains in full force and effect and where a clause repealing a prior law is inserted in the act, which act is
unconstitutional and void, the provision of the repeal of the prior law will usually fall with it and will not be
permitted to operate as repealing such prior law. The general principles stated above apply to the
constitutions as well as the laws of the several states insofar as they aren't repugnant to the Constitution
and Laws of the United States. Moreover, a construction of a statute which brings it in conflict with a
constitution will nullify it as effectively as if it had in its .express terms, been .enacted in conflict therewith."

W. Allen, author of the books 'The Invention of the White Race, Volume 1: Racial Oppression and Social
Control' and 'The Invention of the White Race, Volume 2: The Origin of Racial Oppression in Anglo-
America', in a television interview explains how the term "White", used as a classification for a part of the
human race, was designed as a socio-political construct for division, human oppression and serves no other
basis. It was invented shortly after Bacon's Rebellion in 1676, and does not appear in a Virginia colonial
Instrument# 2017026407 Page 82 of 235

record until 1691. Prior to that, those who became labeled as white bore nationalities such as Scottish, kim.
English, etc. He further explains that white is not a race, nor does it have any scientific basis. He defines
himself as a European-American, with finer definition given as an Anglo-American. This is proof beyond a
shadow of a doubt that ''White" is not a nationality, and is merely a status in a social class system. Thus, the
term itself leads to being denationalized, stateless and civiliter mortuus. When "White" as a race is place against
genetic science, the "White,. race is found to be non-existent, and when •-wm:te Supremacy,. is measured
against the de jure law, "White Supremacy" is civiliter mortuus. There are only ,various -populations of people
of the human race with either dominant or recessive genes spread over the earth in what is defined as
nationalities, and with various morphological affinities within their populations. These are irrefutable facts
proven by science.) Now, be it resolved and decreed in finality: _ ):./

"When an honest man discovers he is mistaken, he will either cease being mistaken, or cease being
honest."- attributed to Oscar Wilde. "Good fences make good neighbors."- attributed to Robert Frost. With an
over preponderance of factual evidence that I have presented in the body of this document, I have shown that it
was necessary for me to draw a fine, distinguishable line between the Muurs/ Moors and the current United
States' and the current 50 states' corporate democracies. If the current administrators of the current United States'
and the current 50 states' corporate democracies have practiced deception about the validity of the 14m
Amendment as if it is de jure law, have practiced deception about the monetary solvency of the current United
States' and the current 50 states' corporate democracies as if they are not insolvent, have practiced deception
about the democratic form of government that they are currently under, and as if it was the original form of
government according to the Constitution for the united States of America Republic of 1787, then, what else
have they done in regards to deception and fraud? With all of the evidence compiled within the 52 points in
part 2 above to show cause why this international cease and desist with lien should be issued, these are the
main pieces of evidence that I would like to draw a keener focus on, and to show cause why there is a need
to cease and desist all overt or clandestine activities not conducive to de jure laws, customarv international
laws and contracts pertaining to Muurs/ Moors IMMEDIATELY. The evidence against the current United
States' and the current 50 states' corporate democracies is IRREFUTABLE. Please see Proverbs 6:2, "Thou art
snared with the words of thy mouth, thou.att taken with the words of thy mouth."; Proverbs 12:22, "Lying
lips are abomination to the LORD: but" they that deal truly are his delight."; and Proverbs 13:5, "A

Please show me any state or federal constitution for the democracy. If you cannot urove that there is a
constitution for the democracy, or show where there was a quorum vote by Congress and the states to
change the lawful form of government from a republic to a democracy, then you are operating in fraud, and
merely as a corporate construct; not as a government as it relates to and ordained by the Constitution for
the united States of America Republic of 1787. There is a severe issue in law here. If the general public at
large knew that the 14tb Amendment was never ratified, and the united States of America Republic could
never be a democracy according to its founding charter, i.e. the Constitution for the united States of America
Republic of 1787, then every case involving the assumed jurisdiction of the 14tb Amendment and the subject
matter it pertains to would have to be overturned due to the invalidity of the 14tb Amendment, and even
case involving assumed jurisdiction as pursuant to the democracy would have to be overturned due to lack
of jurisdiction of an invalid government. We are talking trillions of dollars in restitution fees, and also
possibly the death penalty or imprisonment for treason, extortion, fraud, and a host of other crimes due to
the 148 year old 14tb Amendment and the 83 year old United States Democracy. Remember, fraud car-ries
no statute of limitations, and begins at the moment of discoverv. Fraud vitiates all forms of contract and
makes them void ab initio. And, there is no equity in any claim with unclean hands and bad faith, as there is
no equity in wrongdoing, i.e. workers of iniquity cannot receive equity. See www.justia.com United States
v.,~Tilrockmorton. 98 U.S. 61 (1878), "There is no guestion of the general doctrine that fraud vitiates the
most solemn contracts, documents, and even judgments."
The current United States' and the current SO states' corporate democracies have been operating in
deception since 1868 via the 14tb Amendment, and again .in 1933 via the New Deal .Democracy of United
States President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the bankruptcy. De jure law is the only efficacy for remedy; i.e.
~ for this situation. There is no benefit that can be gained from fraud. Since 1868, all of the states have
Instrument# 2017026407 Page 86 of 235

required all public officials to be 14th Amendment United States citizens to hold any public office; which
means that by law, they do not exist in such capacity, and, they are all dead at law due to the fraud of the
14th Amendment. This means that all state and federal elected and non-elected public officials are outlaws.
To be declared an outlaw does not necessarily mean that one must engage in violent, law breaking activities. It
can also simply mean that one is outside of the laws as they pertain to nationality, status and standing, and issues
of a substantive fashion. Under the common law, and the Constitution for the united States of America of 1787,
any individual or entity that is bankrupt becomes civiliter -mortuus; i.e. civilly dead (see www.iustia.com
Herndon v. Howard. 76 U.S. 664 (1869), "The section of the Bankrupt Law relied on, we think, governs the
present case. It seems to require that Masterson, the assignee, be substituted as appellant for Herndo!!, the
bankrupt, who may be said to be civiliter mortuus, precisely as an executor or administrator would be made
party instead of an appellant actually deceased ...", International Bank v. Sherman. 101 U.S. 403. 406
(1879), ''The bankrupt became, as it were, for many purposes, civiliter mortuus ..." and Carr v. Hamilton,
129 U.S. 252 (1889), "It is difficult to see why this principle of justice should not apply to persons holding
policies of life insurance in a company which becomes bankrupt and goes into liquidation. By that act, the
company becomes civiliter mortuus, its bUsiness is brought to an absolute end ..." Under the Constitution for
the united States of America of 1787, it is impossible to have a democracy or a central bank because both are
elements of communism; which are anti-republic in nature (see 'The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx
and Friedrich Engels', 1888). Thus, according to de jure law, the current statuses of all united states citizens
existing under the 14th and 15th Amendments, and under the current united states' and SO states' bankruptcies
and corporate democracies; are dead in law, but, ignorance of the law is no excuse. Every elected public
official, officer, agent and employee of the current United States' and the current 50 states' corporate
democracies should keep silent when trying to tell me anything about what I can, or, cannot do as it pertains
to law. You cannot be outside of the law while trying to enforce the law at the same time. I will instruct you
all from here onwards as it pertains to matters that I need taken care of. Dead men and women cannot speak.
Have you ever seen a dead man or woman speak? This has the same meaning in law as civiliter mortuus . .Just
as the dead cannot harm the living, those bankrupt, 14th Amendment ens legis legal fictions and natural
persons who are civiliter mortuus; i.e. civilly dead, caDnot harm those natural persons in plena vita; i.e. in
full life within the law (see Ecclesiastes 9:5-6, "For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not
anything, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, and
their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion forever in anvthing that is
done under the sun.") Now being reasonable and using logic, it is impossible for anyone of a dead status to try
to tell anyone else what the law is or is not, when they themselves are civilly dead and are outside of the law.
This is not acceptable and will not be tolerated at all.
(_/\ ·~

Some of the constitutions that I have reviewed are the constitutions of Texas, Georgia, Louisiana, Missouri
and Arkansas. All of them require the public officials to be citizens of the United States, i.e. 14th
Amendment citizens. As I mentioned within the last paragraph, according to de jure law, everyone is civilly
dead with this status. This is the equivalent of the proverbial living dead cinematic theatre, where there are a few
survivors trying to stay alive; while trying to avoid getting infected or eaten by the living dead. The living dead
are the masses of civiliter mortuus people and public officials who have positions and offices of power based
on the color of law; while the few survivors are those people who have awakened to the de jure law, and have
corrected their statuses within it, and being infected or eaten is the equivalent of trving to silence us. The
reality in law is that Muurs/ Moors and others with a nationality are the only people in plena vita, i.e. in full
life both civilly and physically, while all 14th Amendment citizens are civiliter mortUus, i.e. civilly dead but
still physically alive. The public officials who wish for the deceit to continue, are doing their best to keep this
situation as quiet as possible; by orally spewing vitriol, promoting demagoguery through various media
avenues and threatening physical violence; to incite vilification against Muurs/ Moors because we do our
due diligence in seeking the truth as it pertains to blood, history and liD!· I will give you the following scenario:
If all civilly dead people were physically dead in a literal sense, and all civilly alive people are the only ones
physically alive, then the people who are physicaHy alive would have to possibly travel for miles before they
saw- another

cannot see you. And, your status is dead; you have no voice and no standing whatsoever. The 14th
Amendment, the bankruptcy and the democracy are to all subject citizens and State and Federal legislative,
executive and judicial public officials what the Dred Scott decision was to so-called Negroes. The de jure law
is the measuring rod to one being dead or alive within it. All corporations are dead in law as well as their
employees due to the 14th Amendment ens legis corporate juristic person status.
The Federal Reserve is civiliter mortuus due to bankruptcy, violation of the Supreme Court of the
United States' cases of Marbury v. Madison. 5 U.S. 137 (1803) and Norton v. Shelby County. 118 U.S. 425
(1886), and violation of Article 1, Section 8; Clause 5 of the Constitution for the united States of America of
1787. All BAR attorneys operating at the state and federal levels are civiliter mortuus as wep.. So, it is

true; and what is first in time is better in law." '~Where two rights concur, the more ancient shall be

23:10-11, Isaiah 40:8, Hosea 5:10, United States Statutes at Large 96 Stat. 1211 and Public Law 97-280.) The

confirming all of the prophets of-the Holy Bible sent by the Most High Creatress/ Creator of the heavens and the

change because pf':a change in one's religion or their national name. According to Yashua Ha Mashiakh, as
recorded in MattHew 5:17-18, "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I have not
come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall

Autochthonous Aborigines; as chronicled in public record instrument No. 2015080734, and others written

legislation that. supersede the laws of nature, and regardless of how this may cause some people to feel;
we are all held·bound to them. Thus, the de jure natural autochthonous people of the land are the de jure
owners of· the land. (See Bouvier's Law Dictionary and Concise Encyclopedia by .John Bouvier: 3ra
Revisiorii;8th Ed., 1914- "Leges naturae perfectissimae sunt et immutabiles; humani vero juris conditio semper
in intiiiitum decurrit, et nihil est in eo auod perpetuo stare possit. Leges humanae nascuntur, vivunt,
moriuntur. The laws of nature are most perfect and immutable; but the condition of human law is an
miending succession, and there is nothing in it which can continue perpetually. Human laws are born. live,
and die.") Thus, this concludes the abstract of jus sanguinis and jus soli title to the Americas "in toto".
C. According to Noble Drew Ali, Divine Preparer of the 'Circle 7 Moorish Holy Koran', the prologue
'Know Thyself And Thy Father God Allah' states, ''The industrious acts of the Moslems of the northwest and
southwest Africa. These are the Moabites, Hamathites, Canaanites, who were driven out of the land of Canaan, by

Joshua. and received permission from the Pharaohs of Egypt to settle in that portion of Egypt. In later years
they formed themselves kingdoms. These kingdoms are called this day Morocco, Algiers, Tunis, Tripoli, etc."
Chapter 47:6-7 states, "The Moabites from the land of Moab who received permission from the Pharaohs of
Egypt to settle and inhabit North-West Africa; they were the founders and are the true possessors of the
present Moroccan Empire. With their Canaanite, Hittite, and Amorite bretheren who sojourned from the land
of Canaan seeking new homes. Their dominion and inhabitation extended from North-East and South-West
Africa, across great Atlantis even unto the present North, South, and .Central America and also Mexico and
the Atlantis Islands; before the great earthquake, which caused the great Atlantic Ocean." Chapter 47:io'-11
further states, "What your ancient forefathers were, you are today without doubt or contradiction..:~There is
no one who is able to change man from the descendant nature of his forefathers; unless his power extends
beyond the great universal Creator Allah Himself." The Supreme Creatress'/ Creator's nafural Jaws of
Blood descent supersede man's law. The •arcle 7 Moorish Holy Koran' is held within the Proclamation and
Sovereign Trust for Moorish Americans, as found within the archives of the Cook CouQt}(Recorder of Deeds

'Arkansas Historical Quarterly' describes the dynamic at bQtti'the federal and state level when the men were

White had been free men. Rush was a fotlner slave, and Samuels and Hawkins are both presumed to have been
born into slavery.' In the Senate, Ja,tp.~s W. Mason took his seat a week later on April 9; exactly three years after
Robert E. Lee's surrender at Appprilattox." Now, at the time this occurred, Scott v. Sandford. 60 U.S. 19 How.

H. On March 27!h., 1861, seven Southern states walked out of Congress assembled, and Congress
adjourned sine die "without day"; which was in violation of the Constitution for the united States of America
of 1787. This was due to the alleged issue of slavery, but in truth, it was due to the commercial power that was
the competition measure between the North and the South. On April 15!1J., 1861, United States President
Abraham Lincoln issued his first proclamation to call forth the militias of the states of the union in a preparation

for war, and on July 41!!, 1861, United States President Abraham Lincoln also summoned the Congress into an
emergency session on how these issues could be resolved for the safety and peace of all of the United States
Citizens both in the North and the South. Pursuant to the Constitution for the united States of America of 1787,
Congress had abandoned their posts, and the responsibility to make sure that the United States government
continued to run fell upon the Executive branch of the government. All Federal legislative, executive and
judicial functions of the United States were suspended in the Southern states declared to be in insurrection
against the· United States except for the-functions of--the -post office. .When Congress- was summoned undtfr\the
emergency session of President Lincoln, they no longer were sitting in the power of de iure elected offi~ials,
they were sitting at the discretion of the President of the United States in an emergency war power~ j)Osition.
Abraham Lincoln no longer was sitting as the President of the United States, he was now the Commander-
In-Chief, and was now sitting over the United States in such fashion. Through the War Dep3rtment and
under emergency war power, Commander-hi-Chief Abraham Lincoln began issuing the martihl law known as
the 'Lieber Code', or 'Instructions for the Government of Armies of the United States in<tlie Field, General
Orders No. 100'. Under the Conf"IScation Acts of 1861 and 1862, United States Statutes;at Large 12 Stat. 319
· and 12 Stat. 589-592, the misnomer Negroes in bondage were considered as contraba'ii"d, and were confiscated
as property of the United States. This status still remains to this very day and ttiiS action was considered as
not being unconstitutional; due to it being performed under the war powers oqhe Conlinander-In-Chief of the
United States. According to the Lieber Code, the only way that martiallaw;c3n be terminated is through a
special proclamation from the United .States President, or through .a\ ireaty of peace with the warring
faction. President Abraham Lincoln was the last President of the unit~-States of North America Republic,
and was assassinated before the proclamation could be issued to ternunate martial Jaw. According to Texas
v. White, 74 U.S. 700 (1869), the Perpetual Union of States waS'' declared to be indestructible due to the
Articles of Confederation by the power of Article 6 of the CoiiStitution for tlie ·united ·states -of America of
1787, and no peace treaty was reguired to bring the Soutllern states in rebellion back into the Union of
States, or was there any reinstatement needed from the<President of the United States. The Liebe~ Code is
still in force to this very day. The President of the United' States still sits with the same power as the American
Civil War Cmiunander-In-Chief, and Congress still sits at the discretion of the holder of this power. As
written in the CRS Reoort for Congress 'NatioDal Emergency Powers', 'The development, exercise, and
regulation of emergency powers, from the days Of the Continental Congress to the present, reflect at least one
highly discernible trend: those authorities rav3ilable to the executive in time of national crisis or exigency
have, since the time of the Lincoln AdliiiOistration, come to be increasingly rooted in statutory law. The
discretion available to a Civil War .President in his exercise of emergency power has been harnessed, to a
considerable extent, in the contemporary period. Furthermore, due to greater reliance upon statutory
expressio!!, the range of this authority has come to be more circumscribed, and the options for its use have
come to be regulated~-.) ' procedurally through the National Emergencies Act." (See

the ~ivil War, and the former misnomer Negroes in bondage were supposed to be repatriated to their status in
relation to their land; which is America in toto in the Dominions of the AI Moroccan Empire, with
establishment and repatriation in the land that is west of the Allegheny and Appalachian Mountains, and
east of the Rocky Mountains; known by President Abraham Lincoln as 'Egypt of the West'. (See Abraham
Lincoln's Second Annual Message, December Pl, 1862; as it was called 'Egypt of the West' due to the Nile
River and pyramids' counter-part of the Mississippi River and all of the mounds which are landmarks of the
mound builders, the ancient Uaxashaktun/ "Washitaw" Empire of the Muurs; which later became the
Louisiana Purchase by usurpation and theft. See 'Ancient Mystic Oriental Masonry'; 1907 by the author Dr.

Oklahoma and Toltec mounds on the Summer solstice in Arkansas; as referenced in public record
instrument No. 2015080734 and this instrument herein.), The former misnomer Negroes in bondage, along
with their nationality and titles of Moorish AI Moroccan Empire Nobility were to be restored in toto; with
restitution for their involuntary servitude. A group in Congress called the 'Radical Republicans' did not wish
to see this restitution in postliminium. They~ the Freeman's Bureau and stole the funds, then under the
unconstitutional 'Reconstruction Acts', they abolished state governments, set up military provisional
governments, forced the de jure elected officials of the several southern states to be ousted from: tbeir
elected positions under gunpoint/ bayonet, and replaced these de jure officials with puppet de (acto~offi.cers
for the pretended ratification of the 14th and 15th Amendments to prevent this restitution in pok'illminium.
The Muurs/ Moors are still owed their just due in paramount equity pursuant to treaty law- .Since the post
Civil War and Reconstruction era. Ac<:ording to Black's Law Dictionary, 4th Ed., 1968, "EQUity suffers not

This is a fact, and is also the best evidence to show that the united States of America is no longer a Republic
as it was founded to be. The Unit¢.. States Supreme Court case of Scott v. Sandford, 60 U.S. 19 How. 393
(1856) stated that anyone of Afriean descent, i.e. misnomer Negro, Black, Colored, Afro-American and African-
American, and their descenda.nts; could not be United States Citizens, or a Citizen of any of the 50 state
subsidiaries. This has not been overruled. They were and are Muurs/ Moors, and under de jure law, would have
been or would be memb~ts of the AI Moroccan Empire under jus soli, and some would have been or would be
members of their ~r~pective Paleo-American, Autochthonous Aboriginal clans, tribes and nations under ,iH!

50 states' corporate democracies. They are all under the democracy, they are bankrupt and they are courts
for the 14th Amendment, corporate democratic'citizenry of the current United States' and the current 50 states'
corporate democracies. All entities and persons under these three issues in law, including the current United
States' and the current 50 states' corpofi:i~fctemocracies are civiliter mortuus (civilly dead), and lack standing in
any claim whatsoever against Muurst Moors. (See Black's Law Dictionary, 4th Ed., 1968- PERSONA
STANDI IN ,[UDICIO. Capacity o(standing in court or in judgment; capacity to be a party to an action;
capacity or ability to sue.) S2/how are they able to gain any form of jurisdiction over matters that are
lawfully beyond their scope7>it is through their victims' ignorantia juris (ignorance of the law) and the
ignorantia facti (ignorance of a fact). In truth, this is proof that the courts, attorneys and judges are Racketeer
Influenced and CorrupfOrganizations (RICO) and perpetrators of this ongoing activity. Yes, I am also well
aware that these,racketeering operations do grant monetary rewards to these so-called judges and attorneys as
they relate to private' trust accounts. These funds can be confiscated under RICO, and there can be no
private trusts established under criminal activity and fraud. The bankruptcy of the current United States' and
the current 50Jstates' corporate democracies, the corporate democratic citizenry's acceptance to the liability of
this bankruptcy underneath Article 4, Section 4 of the 14th Amendment, their acceptance of the 14th
Amendnient and their acceptance of democracy prohibits them from setting up any type of trust protected
]!y de1ure law, and therefore they are able to be pierced. Since 1868, it has been impossible for the federal and
state legislative, executive or judicial branches to make or enforce any laws, or adjudicate any matters due to
the public officials being 14th Amendment United States citizens. It has been imoossible for any corporate
charters to be enacted as well. This problem was compounded in 1933 with the United States President
Franklin D. Roosevelt's Administration "New Deal" democracy. All of this is fraud.
0. The following definition is hereby given to show that rights are nouns in the sense of ~. or
"things" within the law, and can be acted upon in the sense as it pertains to personal property. And, since
----------------------·----·--
Instrument# 2017026407 Page 96 of 235

they can be acted upon as personal property, then this also allows them to be affected by law. Rights may
also be challenged and acquired, as in the sense of the rights asserted and now acquired under public record
instrument No. 2015080734, and as stated within this instrument. (See Black's Law Dictionary, 4th Ed., 1968-
RIGHT. As a !!!!J!!!, and taken in an abstract sense, justice, ethical correctness, or consonance with the rules
of Jaw or the principles of morals. In this signification it answers to one meaning of the Latin ''.i!!:!," and ~
to indicate law in the abstract, considered as the foundation of all rights, or the complex of underlying
moral principles which impart the character of justice to all positiveJaw, or give it an ethical content. .As a
!!!!J!!!, and taken in a concrete sense, a power, privilege, facultv, or demand, inherent in one persoif·and
incident upon another..." Thus, all rights must be released under treaty law as it pertains to properly. We
Muurs/ Moors are enforcing our remedies under the Treaty of Peace and Friendship between the wiitt!d States
of North America Republic and the AI Moroccan Empire of 1836, while the public officials w~o have taken
their oaths under Article 6 of the Constitution for the united States of America of 1787 .ar'e ··upholding the
comorate policies of the current United States' and the current 50 states' corporate democr~cies; which are the
enemy according to the Constitution for the united States of America of 1787, and wltich is the equivalent of
taking a commission from the enemy and fighting underneath the enemy's colors in' the form of the banner
(often mistaken by people as a flag) with the 50 white stars, blue canton and 13 al-t~tn~ting red and white stripes
with the gold fringes called the ''flag of war", and the enemy's color of Jaws, statUtes, ordinances, regulations
and customs, etc. (See Article 2 of the Treaty of Peace and Friendship betWeen the united States of North
America Republic and the AI Moroccan Empire of 1836, "If either of_ the· parties shall be at war with any
nation whatever, the other shall not take a commission-from the eneriiy~ nor-tight under their colors.") The
policies and procedures of the current United States' and the curreqt:_?O'' states' corporate democracies, and their
chartered comorations, does not and cannot apply to Muurs/ lV[()t;)ts.
/ r ~:

P. All treaties are under Article 6 of the Constitution'for the united States of America of 1787. The
public officials, officers, agents and employees of the current'tJnited States' and the current 50 states' corporate
democracies are actually fearful of the Treaty of Peace~~nd Friendship between the united States of North
America Republic and the AI Moroccan Empire o£1836, and other treaties because it means they are held
accountable to the united States of North America Republic, the Constitution for the united States of
America of 1787 and de jure law. They woul9:actually have to defy their corporate international and domestic
banking masters who own and control tJ:le7 current United States' and the current 50 states' corporate
democracies, and also own and control their public officials, officers, agents and employees as well. "When a
government is dependent upon bankers' for money, they and not the leaders of the government control the
situation, since the hand that gives is ··above the hand that takes. Money has no motherland; financiers are
without patriotism and withoutdecency; their sole object is gain."- attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte. Since
all citizens of the current UnJt~ciStates' and the current 50 states' corporate democracies are civiliter mortuus,
then there is no need to wqity about what these corporations and banks chartered under the democracies as
civiliter mortuus entiti~s ~-hive to say. I have the right to place a lien to secure the default of public record
instrument No. 2015080734 as contained herein; as well as the right to secure the default of this instrument. And,
I also have the riglil to proceed forth and confiscate my rights from the current United States' and the current
50 states' corp~~~te democracies as pursuant to treaty Jaw. Any attempts to violate rights protected by treaty are
violations of8 USC -1481 (applicable statute), i.e. Joss of nationality via serving under a democracy; 18 USC
~. i.e. accessory to crime; 18 USC 4, i.e. concealment of a felony; 18 USC 241, i.e. conspiracy against rights;
18 USC'242, i.e. deprivation of rights under color of law; 18 USC 245, i.e. deprivation of federally protected
activiti~; 18 USC 1581, i.e. peonage; 18 USC 1583, i.e. enticement into peonage; 18 USC 1951, i.e.
interference with commerce; 18 USC 2381, i.e. treason; 18 USC 2382, i.e. misprision of treason; 18 USC
2383, i.e. rebellion orinsurrection; 18 USC 2384, i.e. seditious conspiracy and 18 USC 2385, i.e. advocating
overthrow of Government; et al other applicable codes. In comparison to and me, history and the law are not
on your side, but they are on mine. It is time to stop using the false illusion of "White supremacy" and fear of
the Muurs/ Moors; which are hidden behind the color of law as a tool to try and block Bank Shi-Urkantzu
Muurish!Moorish Freeholder Financial Services©TM (an Autochthonous Trust) and me from achieving our
goals and potential. I assure you all; there is no need to be afraid of anything.

Overview of Human Trafficking Itrafficking in persons.
L--~-----··----·--'
l
The United Nations defines human trafficking as the recruitment. transportation.
transfer. harboring. or receipt of persons bv improper means (such as force. abduction. fraud. or coercion) for an
improperplll]?ose including forced labor or sexual exploitation. ill Human smuggling, a related but different
crime, generally involves the consent of the person(s) being smuggled. These people often pay large ~urns of
money to be smuggled across international borders. Once in the country of their final destination, they are
generally left to their own devices. Smuggling becomes trafiicking when the element of force or coercion is
introduced.

The U.S. Government defines human trafficking as:


• Sex trafticking in which a commercial sex act is induced by force, fraud, or coercion, or in which the
person induced to perfopn such act has not attained 18 years of age.
• The recruitment. harboring. transportation. provision. or obtaining of a person for labor or services. through
the use of force. fraud. or coercion for the purpose of subjection to involuntary servitude. peonage. debt
bondage. or slaverv..

This modem slave trade is a threat to all nations. A grave human rights abuse, it promotes breakdown of families
and communities, fuels organized crime, deprives countries of human capital, undermines public health, creates
opportunities for extortion and subversion among government officials, and imposes large economic costs.
NIJ's Role in Human Trafficking Research
Through the funding of rigorous research, NIJ is c.ommitted to assisting \\lith the detection and prosecution of
human traffickers. NlJ-funded research projects focus on:
• The nature and e:\.ient ofhup1an trafficking
" Detecting and investigating traffickers
• Prosecuting trntTickers
• Services tor trafficking victims.

Human trafficking is a largely hidden crime that has only recently gained the att~tion of law enforcement,
human rights advocates, and policy makers. Research in the field continues to evolve and has focused almost
exclusively on the victims. Reliable data are needed, especially about the characteristics of victims and
perpetrators, the mechanism of operations, and assessments of trends. ln addition, law enforcement officials
must overcome substantial legal, cultural, and organizational barriers to investigating and prosecuting trafficking
cases. These barriers, and strategies to overcome them, are still being identified.

Review a list ofNIJ-funded research and evaluation projects.

PNAS: Topper site in middle of comet controversy
Search By Peggy Binette, peggy@mailbox.sc.edu, 803-777-7704

Did a massive comet explode over Canada 12,900 years ago,


wiping out both beast and man in North America and
propelling the earth back into an ice age?

That's a question that has been hotly debated by scientists


since 2007, with the University of South Carolina's Topper
archaeological site right in the middle of the comet impact
controversy. However, a new study published today (Sept.17)
in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
(PNAS) provides further evidence that it may not be such a
far-fetched notion.

Albert Goodyear, an archaeologist in


USC's College of Arts and Sciences,
is a co-author on the study that
upholds a 2007 PNAS study by
Richard Firestone, a staff scientist at
the Department of Energy's Lawrence
Berkeley National Laboratory.

Firestone found concentrations of


spherules (micro-sized balls) of metals
and nano-sized diamonds in a layer of sediment dating
12,900 years ago at 10 of 12 archaeological sites that his
team examined. The mix of particles is thought to be the
result of an extraterrestrial object, such as a comet or
meteorite, exploding in the earth's atmosphere. Among the
sites examined was USC's Topper, one of the most pristine
U.S. sites for research on Clovis, one of the earliest ancient
peoples.

"This independent study is yet another example of how the


Topper site with its various interdisciplinary studies has
connected ancient human archaeology with significant
studies of the Pleistocene," said Goodyear, who began
excavating Clovis artifacts in 1984 at the Topper site in
Allendale, S.C. "It's both exciting and gratifying."

Younger-Dryas is what scientists refer to as the period of


extreme cooling that began around 12,900 years ago and
lasted 1,300 years. While that brief ice age has been well-
documented -occurring during a period of progressive solar
warming after the last ice age- the reasons for it have long
remained unclear. The extreme rapid cooling that took place
can be likened to the 2004 sci-fi blockbuster movie "The Day
After Tomorrow."

Firestone's team presented a provocative theory: that a major


impact event - perhaps a comet -was the catalyst. His
copious sampling and detailed analysis of sediments at a
layer in the earth dated to 12,900 years ago, also called the
Younger-Dryas Boundary (YDB), provided evidence of micro-
particles, such as iron, silica, iridium and nano-diamonds.
The particles are believed to be consistent with a massive
impact that could have killed off the Clovis people and the
large North American animals of the day. Thirty-six species,
including the mastodon, mammoth and saber-toothed tiger,
went extinct.

The scientific community is rarely quick to accept new


theories. Firestone's theory and support for it dominated the
annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union and other
gatherings of Paleoindian archaeologists in 2007 and 2008.

However, a 2009 study led by University of Wyoming


researcher Todd Surovell failed to replicate Firestone's
findings at seven Clovis sites, slowing interest and research
progress to a glacial pace. This new PNAS study refutes
Surovell's findings with its lack of reported evidence.

"Surovell's work was in vain because he didn't replicate the


protocol. We missed it too at first. It seems easy, but unless
you follow the protocol rigorously, you will fail to detect these
spherules. There are so many factors that can disrupt the
process. Where Surovell found no spherules, we found
hundreds to thousands," said Malcolm LeCompte, a
research associate professor at Elizabeth City State
University and lead author of the newly released PNAS
article.

LeCompte began his independent study in 2008 using and


further refining Firestone's sampling and sorting methods at
two sites common to the three studies: Blackwater Draw in
New Mexico and Topper. He also took samples at Paw Paw
Cove in Maryland, a site common to Surovell's study.

At each site he found the same


microscopic spherules, which are the
diameter of a human hair and distinct
in appearance. He describes their
look as tiny black ball bearings with a
marred surface pattern that resulted
from being crystalized in a molten
state and then rapidly cooled. His
investigation also confirmed that the
spherules were not of cosmic origin
but were formed from earth materials
due to an extreme impact.

LeCompte said it was Topper and Goodyear's collaboration,


however, that yielded the most exciting results.

"What we had at Topper and nowhere else were pieces of


manufacturing debris from stone tool making by the Clovis
people. Topper was an active and ancient quarry at the time, •

LeCompte said. "AI Goodyear was instrumental in our


approach to g~tting samples at Topper_"

Goodyear showed LeCompte where


the Clovis level was in order to
accurately guide his sampling of
sediments for the Younger Dryas
Boundary layer. He advised him to
sample around Clovis artifacts and
then to carefully lift them to test the
sediment directly underneath.

"If debris was raining down from the


atmosphere, the artifacts should have
acted as a shield preventing spherules from accumulating in
the layer underneath. It turns out it really worked!" Goodyear
said. "There were up1to 30 tim~s more spherules at and just
above the Clovis surface than beneath the artifacts."

LeCompte said the finding is "critical and what makes the


paper and study so exciting. The other sites didn't have
artifacts because they weren't tool-making quarries like
Topper_"

While the comet hypothesis and its possible impact on Clovis


people isn't resolved, Goodyear said this independent study
clarifies why the Surovell team couldn't replicate the
Firestone findings and lends greater credibility to the claim
that a major impact event happened at the Younger Dryas
Boundary 12,900 years ago.

"The so-called extra-terrestrial impact hypothesis adds to the


mystery of what happened at the YDB with its sudden and
unexplained reversion to an ice age climate, the rapid and
seemingly simultaneous loss of many Pleistocene animals,
such as mammoths and mastodons, as well as the demise of
what archaeologists call the Clovis culture," Goodyear said.
'There's always more to learn about the past, and Topper
continues to function as a portal to these fascinating
mysteries."

Goodyear joined USC's College of Arts and Sciences and its


South Carolina Institute for Archaeology and Anthropology in
1974 to pursue prehistoric archaeology.

The Topper story


Albert Goodyear, who conducts research through the
University of South Carolina's S.C. Institute of Anthropology
and Archaeology, began excavating Clovis artifacts along the
Savannah River in Allendale County in 1984. It quickly
became one of the most documented and well-known Clovis
sites in the United States. In 1998, with the hope of finding
evidence of a pre-Clovis culture earlier than the accepted
13,100 years, Goodyear began focused excavations on ·a site
called Topper, located on the property of the Clariant Corp.

His efforts paid off. Goodyear unearthed small tools such as


scrapers and blades made of the local chert that he believed
to be tools of an ice age culture back some 16,000 years or
more. His findings, as well as similar ones yielded at other
pre-Clovis sites in North America, sparked great change and
debate in the scientific community.

Goodyear reasoned that if Clovis and later peoples used the


chert quarry along the Savannah River, the quarry could have
been used by even earlier cultures.

Acting on a hunch in 2004. Goodyear dug even deeper into


the Pleistocene terrace and found more artifacts of a pre-
Clovis type buried in a layer of sediment stained with
charcoal deposits. Radiocarbon dates of the burnt plant
remains yielded ages of 50.000 years. which suggested man
was in South Carolina long before the last ice age.

Goodyear's findings not only captured international media


attention, but it has put the archaeology field in flux, opening
scientific minds to the possibility of an even earlier pre-Clovis
occupation of the Americas.

Since 2004, Goodyear has continued his Clovis and pre-


Clovis excavations at Topper. With support of Clariant Corp.
and SCANA, plus numerous individual donors, an expansive

what may be the most significant early-man dig in America.

The Topper timeline


1998 Goodyear and his team dig to a meter below the Clovis
level and encounter unusual stone tools up to 2 meters below
the surface.

1999 Team of outside geologists visit Topper site and


propose a thorough geological study of the location.

2000 Geological study done is by consultants; ice age


sediment is confirmed for pre-Clovis artifacts.

2001 Geologists revisit Topper and obtain ancient plant


remains deep in the Pleistocene terrace. Optically stimulated
luminescence (OSL) dates sediment above ice-age strata
show pre-Clovis is at least older than 14,000 years.

2002 Geologists find new profile showing ancient. sediment


lying between Clovis and pre-Clovis, confirming the age of ice
age sediment layer between 16,000-20,000 years.

2003 Archaeologists continue to excavate pre-Clovis artifacts


above the Pleistocene terrace. New and significant Clovis
artifacts are found.

2004 Goodyear discovers major Clovis occupation on the


hillside. Additionally, radiocarbon dates for sediment
associated with pre-Clovis artifacts come back at 50,000
years.

2005 "Clovis in the Southeast" conference held in Columbia,


S.C., with tours of Topper and Big Pine Tree sites.

2006 The 3,500-square-foot roofed structure is built over pre-


Clovis excavations.

2007 Firestone study about a possible Clovis comet is


published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of
Sciences, including evidence from Clovis age sediments
from Topper.

Also inhabiting parts of North America in the Bronze Age were pygmy types, some having a

individuals. These pygmy types had round (brachycephalic) heads, with very conspicuous large

Islam and Muslims in America before Columbo's

Salih Yucel

Histmical facts concerning many established information on diverse fields continue to be


unraveled to the astonishment of us all. One of these facts, previously little-known by
many, is that Muslims had actually set foot on American soil centuries before Columbus'
illustrious expedition. We hope as you read ahead in this essay that some information and
documents, excerpts :from various sources, and the results of archeological excavations will
demonstrate the truth of the aforementioned proposition.

Did the Companions of the Prophet go to America?


Research conducted in the West during the twentieth century has proven the existence of
Muslims on the American mainland approximately seven centuries before Christopher
Columbus. Similarly, archeological excavations, linguistic, and philological analyses of
languages and settlement names in the region, the fact that coins, household tools and other
utensils were discovered there that were similar to those of the Abbasids in the eighth and
ninth centuries are all justifications of the theory that Muslims, beginning from 650 CE,
made their way to the continent for settlement, during which time they erected mosques
and schools,leaving a prolonged impact on the natives, i.e. Ameritan Indians.

The Islamic sources carry no information as regards Muslim settlement in America,


although research undertaken by Professor Barry Fell of Harvard University confirms that
Muslims reached the continent at the time of Uthman, the third Caliph, concomitantly
indicating tl1e significant possibility that some of the Companions could have arrived there
as well.

Many Western researchers acknowledge tl1.e famous map of Piri Reis i!£...Proof of Muslim
:presence in America long before the endeavors of Columbus. as it minutely comprises the
ma:p of America. as well as extremely accurate measurements of the distance between
America and Africa.

According to Salvatore Michael Trento, former director of the Center for Archeological
Research in Middletown, New York, before embarking on his first voyage to America,
Columbus had read the book of Roger Bacon of Oxford University, which comprised
information, compiled from a variety of Arabic resources, about geographical regions on
the other side of the Atlantic; hence Columbus' previous knowledge of the islands in the

Atlantic Ocean and other places.

Proofs in Western sources


1. Professor BaiTy Fell, retired lecturer from Harvard University and also a member of the
American Academy of Science and Arts, the Royal Society, the Epigraphy Society and the
Society of Scientific and Archeological Discoveries, is adamant about the arrival of Islam in
America in the 650s, predicating this argument upon the Cufic calligraphy belonging to that
era found in various diggings across America. If the words of Professor Fell have truth-value,
then the Muslims had arrived in America during the era of Othman, or at least that of Ali,
the fourth caliph. Such information, however, is not found in Muslim sources.

Professor Fell again uses the results of various archeological diggings undertaken across
many regions in the states of Colorado, New Mexico, and Indiana to assert the construction
of Muslim schools during 700-800 CE. Writings, drawings, and charts inscribed on rocks
discovered in the most remote and untainted terrains of W estem America are relics
bestowed by the elementary and intermediate systems of Muslim education at the time.
These documents were written in the old Cufic letters of North African Arabic, cove1ing
subjects such as reading, writing, arithmetic, religion, history, geography, mathematics,
astronomy, and navigation. The descendants of these settlers are thought to be the current
native tribes of Iroquois, Algonquin, Anasazi, Hohokam, and Olmec.

2.- The second evidence offered by Professor Fell is that the inscription of "In the Name of
God" (picture 1), found on a rock during archeological work in Nevada, belongs to the
seventh century, when the haraka sign system had not yet been developed. Likewise, the
stone bearing the inscription "Muhammad is the Prophet of God" (picture 2) is pertinent to
the same era As seen by comparison of the two pictures, the inscriptions are not in the
style of Modern Arabic; conversely they are in a Cufic style relevant to the seventh century.

The Arabs, according to the findings of Professor Fell, settled in Nevada during the seventh
and eighth centuries. The earlier existence of a school, which taught Islam and science,
particularly navigation, has come to light following the archeological investigation
undertaken by Professors Heizer and Baurnhoff of California University around site WA 25
in Nevada. The excavations in Nevada have uncovered writings in Naskhi Arabic and Cufic
style that are inscribed on rocks which carry information about this school (picture 3). The
application of the mathematical formula "five diamonds equal an alif" (alifis the iirst letter
of Arabic alphabet) may be seen in this picture (pictures 3b and 3c). The Arabic letters in
pictures 3b and 3c, found amid excavations in Nevada, are in exactly the same style as
North African Arabic. Again similarly, another rock was found in Nevada bearing the name
"God", the style of which is yet again reminiscent of the prevalent technique of seventh and
eighth- century North Africa. The calligraphical similarities between various writing styles
of the Prophet's name over diverse periods, particularly those relating to Africa and
America, found during archeological investigations are striking indeed. Figure A of picture
4 was found in al-Ain Lahag, Morocco and figure B in East Walker River~ both are currently
at the University of California. Figure C was discovered in Nevada and figures C and D were
located in Churchill County and are also currently preserved at tl1.e University of Califomia;
likewise figure F was discovered in al-Haji Minoun, Morocco, while figure G, inscribed on
Instrument# 2017026407 Page 182 of 235

ceramic, was revealed in al-Suk, Tripoli, Libya and figure H, at the University of Califomia,
I was discovered at Cottonwood Canyon, while finally figure I was located on the border of
i.
Morocco and Libya. All these inscriptions belong to the eighth and ninth centuries, cle~ly
illustrating the resemblance in style between North America and North Africa, as well as
overtly suggesting a migration that occurred from Africa to America.

3. In the twelfth century the Athapcan Tribe, comprised of native Apaches and Navajos,
raided the area inhabited by the Arabs, who either ended up fleeing or were exiled toward
the South. These illiterate natives were spellbound by the schools founded by the Arabs,
and, perhaps with the assistance of captives, attempted to imitate the same subjects,
transforming the geometrical shapes into mythical beasts, which carried on for centuries.

4. Picture 5 is the Cufic writing found in 1951 in the White Mountains, close to the town of
Benton on the border of Nevada. The words Shaytan maha mayan, i.e. the Devil is the
source of all lies, have been written in a Cufic style peculiar to the seventh century.

5. Once more, a rock inscription belonging to post-650 CE, bearing the Cufic letters H- M-1-D
of the word Hamid (picture 6), is another Arabic script discovered on the Atlata rocks in
the Valley of Fire in Nevada.

6. While traveling from Malden to Cambridge in the state of Massachusetts in 1787 (on what
is now RT. 16), the Reverend Thaddeus Mason Harris noticed some coins discovered by
workers during road construction. The workers, not putting much value on these coins,
presented him with a handful. Consequently, Harris ~decided to send these coins to the
library of Harvard College for examination (picture 7). The study yielded that these were in
fact Samarqand dirhams from the eighth and ninth centuries. As can be seen in the
picture, the coins manifestly display the inscriptions La ilaha ill-Allah Muhammadun
Rasulullah (There is no deity but God, and Muhammad is His Messenger) and Bismillah (in
the name of God).

7. Picture 8 shows a piece of rock discovered in a cave in the region of Corinto in El


Salvador, bearing the inscription Malaka Haji mi Malaya; this has been identified as
belonging to the thirteenth century, suggesting a possible arrival of Muslims in South
America, perhaps coming from somewhere near Indonesia

7. During his second voyage, Columbus was told by the natives of Espanola (Haiti) of black
men who had appeared on the island before him and they showed him the lances that had
been left there by these Africans to support their assertions. The tips of the lances were of a
metal, an alloy of gold, which they called guanin, a word which is semantically remarkably
similar to the Arabic word ghina, meaning richness. Columbus had in fact brought some of
this guanin back to Spain, recording that it was composed of 56.25% gold, 18.75% silver and
25% copper, ratios that were prevalent in African Guinea as standards for the processing of
metals.

8. On his third voyage to the New World, Columbus visited Trinidad, where the sailors
noticed the symmetrically pattemed cotton and colorful handkerchiefs of the natives.
,..---------------------- -

Instrument# 2017026407 Page 183 of 235

Afterward, Columbus realized that the handkerchiefs, which the natives called almayzar,
were all much the same in color, style, and use as the headscarves and waist bands used in
Guinea. The word almayzar is Arabic, and denotes a cover, tie, apron, or skirt, and is a
component of the regional costumes of the Moors, Arabs and, Berbers of North Africa, who
had conquered Spain in the eighth century. Columbus observed that the local women wore
cotton garments and wrote in astonishment that they had learned of the concept namus, i.e.
chastity. In much the same vein, Heman Cortes, another Spanish explorer, later recorded
that the clothing of local women consisted of long veils and skirts decorated with
ornaments that were similar to those of the Moors. Ferdinand, Columbus' son, was also
quick to notice the resemblance between the cotton messes of the natives and the
ornamented shawls fashioned by Moorish women in Granada. The cradles used by the
natives, furthermore, very closely resembled those of North Africa.

9. Columbus recorded on 21 October 1492 that he had noticed a mosque on top of a


mountain while sailing around Cibara on the northeast coast of Cuba Relics of mosques
carrying Qur'anic inscriptions on their minarets have been found in Cuba, Mexico, Texas,
and Nevada since these times.

10. Leo Weiner, a well-known Harvard historian and linguist, stated in his book The
Discovery of Africa and America, written in 1920, that Columbus was aware of the
existence of Mandinka, an ethnic group of West Africa, in the New World. The same book
also affirms that Columbus was aware that West African Muslims were living across North
America, including the south, middle regions and Canada, as well as in the Caribbean, and
that they had marital and commercial ties with the native tribes oflroque and Algonquin.

11. A preponderance of the voyages embarked upon by Columbus and other Spanish and
Portuguese explorers toward the other side of the Atlantic were undertaken only in the
light of the geographical and navigational knowledge prepared by Muslims. Al- Masudi's
(871-957 CE) work Muruj'uz-Zahab, for instance, was written with this sort of data compiled
by Muslim traders from across Africa and Asia. Two of Columbus' captains on the :first
voyage, in actual fact, were Muslims: Martin Alonso Pinzon was in charge of the Pinta,
while his brother Vicente Yanez Pinzon was tl1.e designated captain of Nina; both were
from the Moroccan Marinid dynasty, descendants of Sultan Abu Zayan Muhammad III (r.
1362-1366). Formerly well-to-do ship riggers, they as~isted Columbus in organizing his
voyage of exploration, preparing the Santa Maria, the flagship, and covering all its
expenses.

12. Christopher Columbus has recorded the custom of nose piercing, which used to be and
still popular in the Middle Eastern and Arab countries, as being prevalent in some islands
across the Atlantic also mentions the writing of letters in Arabic.

13. In the account of sixteenth century nlissionaries in America, the local copper nlines,
found particularly in Virginia, Tennessee, and Wisconsin were not operated by the natives,
but instead by people from the Middle East, towards whom the natives nurtured a
profound sympathy.
Instrument# 2017026407 Page 184 of 235

14. A sum of 565 names, 484 in America and 81 in Canada, of villages, towns, cities,
mountains, lakes, rivers and etcetera, are etymologically Arabic, designated by locals long
before the arrival of Columbus. Many of these names are in fact the same as names of
Islamic places; Mecca in Indiana, Medina in Idaho, Medina in New York, Medina and Hazen
in North Dakota, Medina in Ohio, Medina in Tennessee, Medina in Texas, Medina and Arva
in Ontario, Mahomet in illinois and Mona in Utah, are just a few noticeable names at the
outset. A closer analysis of the names of native tribes will immediately reveal their Arabic
etymological ancestry; Anasazi, Apache, Arawak, Arikana, Chavin, Cherokee, Cree,
Hohokam, Hupa, Hopi, Makkah, Mohician, Mohawk, Nazca, Zulu, and Zuni are only a few.

House and building Structures


Archeological excavations conducted throughout North America and North Africa reveal a
corresponding architectural resemblance between ninth century buildings. The structure of
a Berber house of the Atlas Mountains, Morocco (picture 9), for instance, is exactly the
same as that of a house in New Mexico (picture 10). The same similarity can be traced
between the Castle of Montezuma discovered in Arizona and the remnants found in Mesa
Verde in Colorado and the general structure of Berber buildings (picture 11-12). The
research undertaken by Professor Cyrus Thomas of the Smithsonian Institute shows that a
small cabin built from piles of rock found in Ellenville, New York is virtually the same as
the cabin, again of rock, found around Aqabah, Sou them Arabia, both of which are thought
to have been built around the start of the eighth century (picture 13).

Arabic words prevalent among natives prior to the arrival of Europeans


The pervasiveness of many Islamic words across tl1e continent prior to European iirllux is
verified by the following terms discovered in the regions currently known as New England
and Nova Scotia, in America and Canada respectively. Fell pointed to some words as example
of Arabic influence on Native Americans. All of the words listed below are de1ived from the
Arabic language. However, time had eroded their original meanings and most are not used
in Arabic today. The last Muslim stronghold in Spain, Granada, fell just before the Spanish
Inquisition was established in 1492. Non-Christians were forced to either convert to
Catholicism to save themselves from the tyranny of the Inquisition or were exiled from the
country. Documents exist which prove the existence of immigrant Muslims in Spanish.
America before 1550. In 1539 an edict from Spanish King Charles V was put into practice
which forbade the immigration of Muslims to settlements in the West. This edict was later
expanded to expel all Muslims from overseas Spanish colonies in 1543. The existence of
,Muslims in overseas islands and regions was known along with the fact that the Spanish
king issued such an edict. Again, in many Islamic sources, it is noted that Muslims living in
Spain and North Af1ica made ~:JVerseas voyages during the Andalusia period. Scientific
research on this subject will bring out many documents into the daylight, documents which
have escaped the notice of both Muslims in America and those throughout the world,
which will perhaps serve, in the future if not immediately, as a starting point for a re-
evaluation of the history of America.

FROM GEORGE WASHINGTON TO SIDI MOHAMMED,
1 DECEMBER 1789
To Sidi Mohammed
[New York, 1 December1789]

Since the Date of the Letter, which the late Congress. by their President addressed to your Imperial Majesty, the United
states of America have thoughtpro!).!lrto change their Government and to institute a new one, agreeable to the
Constitution. of which I have the Honor of. herewith, enclosing a Copy. The Time necessarily employed in this arduous
Task, and the D£>.rnng£>ments occasioned by so gre.at, though P£>.3Ce.able a Revolution, will apologize, and account for your
Majesty's not having received those regular Advices, and Marks ofAttention, from the United states, which the Friendship
and Magnanimity of your Conduct, towards them, afforded Reason to ell:pect
The United States, having unanimously appointed me to the supreme executive Authority, in this Nation, your Majesty's
Letter of the 17th August 1788, which, by Reason of the Dissolution of the late Govern men!, remained unanswered, has
been delivered to me.l I have also received the Letters which your Imperial Majesty has been so kind as to write, in Favor
of the United states, to the Bashaws of Tunis and Tripoli, _g and I present to you the sincere acknowledgments, and
Thanks of the United States, for this imporiRnt Mark ofyour Friendship for them.
We greatly regret that the hostile Disposition of those Regencies, towards this Nation, who have never injured them, is
not to be removed, on Terms in our Power to comply with. Within our Territories there are no Mines. either of Gold. or
Silver, and this young Nation. just recovering from the Waste and Desolation of a long War. have not as yet had Time to
acquire Riches by Agriculture and Commerce. But our Soil is bountiful. and our People industrious; and we have Reason to
flatter ourselves, that we shall gradually become useful to our Friends.
The Encouragement which your Maj estv has been pleased. generously. to give to our Commerce with your Dominions;
the Punctualitv with which you have caused the Treatv with us to be obseiVed. and the just and generous Measures taken.
in the Case of Captain Proctor. made a deep Impression on the United States, and confirm their Respect for. and
Attachment to your Imperial Majestv. .3
It gives me Pleasure to have this Opoortunity of assuring your Majesty that. while I remain at the Head of this Nation. I
shall not cease to promote evezy Measure that may conduce to the Friendshjp and Harmony, whjch so happHy subsjst
between your Empire and them, and shall esteem mvselfhappy in evecy Occasion of convincing your Majesty of the high
Sense (which in common with the whole Nation) I entertain of the Magnanimity, Wisdom, and Benevolence of your
Majesty.
In the Course of the approaching Winter, the national Legislature (which is called by the former Name of Congress)
will assemble, and I shall take Care that Nothing be omitted that may be necessary to cause the Correspondence, between
our Countries, to be maintained and conducted in a Manner agreeable to your Majesty, and satisfactory to all the Parties
concerned in it
May the Almighty bless your Imperial Majesty, our great and magnanimous Friend, with his constant Guidance and
Protection. Written at the CityofNewYorkthe first Day of December 1789.

59, Ceremonial Letters. Credences. This letter is addressed "To our great and magnanimous Friend, His
imperial majesty, the Emperor of Morocco."
Sidi Mohammed (d. 1790) came to the throne of Morocco around 1757. One of the most enlightened
of Morocco's eighteenth-century rulers, he was concerned with expanding his country's commerce with
other nations. Less successful were his attempts to mitigate Morocco's draconian system of justice. As
early as the 1770s Sidi Mohammed had made friendly overtures to the United States although he was
discouraged by the failure of the Continental Congress to respond. By 1786, however, he had signed a
liberal treaty of friendship with the United States.

ntion, and the delegation of admiralty and muitime jurisdiction. In all other caaes the States retain
concurrent authority with Congr(lss. Houston v. Moore, 6Wheat. l; 4 Cond. Rep. 589.
An act of Congress repugnant to tbe Constltutlon cannot become the law of the land Marbury 11
Madison, 1 Cranch, 137; 1 Cond. Rep. 267. ' •
The mere grant of power to Congrell8 does not imply a prohibition on the States to exercise the sama
power. Whenever the terms in which such a power is granted to Congress require tha.t it should h4!
exercised exclusively by Congress, the subject is as completely talten from the State legislatures as if
. they had been ex:presaly forbidden to act upon it. Sturges "' Crowninshield, 4 Wheat. 122: 4 'cond.
Rep. 409. . .
(a) The power of Congress to levy and collect taxes, duties, imposts, and excises is co-extensive with
the territory or the United States. Loughborough v. B~ke, o Wheat. 817; 4 Conci. Rep. 660. .
The power of.Congress to exercise ex:ol11sive legislation, in all cases whatever within the District of
Columbia, includes the power of taxing it.. Ibid. '
The. authority of Congress to lay and collect taxes, does not interfere with the power of the States ·to
tax for the support or their own governments; nor ~s the exercise of that power by the States, an exer.
cise of any portion of the power that is granted to the United States. Gibbons "· Ogden, 9 Wheat. 1 ;
6 Cond. Rep. 56Z.
(b) The constitutional provision that direct taxes shall be apportioned among the several States ac.
cording to their respective numbers, to be ascertained by a. census, was not intended to restrict the
power of imposing direct taxes to States only. Loughborough \1· Blake, 5 Wheat. S 17 ; 4 Cond. Rep~
660. .
(c) An act of Congre9~, laying an embargo for an inde~ite period of time, is constitutional and ·valid.
The United States v. The William, 2 Hall's Am. Law Jour. 255. ·
The power of regulating commerce extends to the regnlation of navig&tion. Gibbons"· Ogden, ·g
Wheat. l; 5 Cond. Rep. 662. . ·
The power to regulate commerce extends to every species of' commercia.! intercourse between the
United States and foreign nations, and among the several States. It d.oes not stop at the external boun.
da.ry of a State ; but it does not extend to a commerce which is completely internal. l bid. ·
The power to regulate commerce is general, and has no limitations but such as are pres·c ribed by the
Constitution itself. This power, so far as it extends, is exclusively vested in Congress, and no pBrt of il
ean be exercised by a State. 'Ibid. ·
The power of regulating commerce extends ~Q navigation ()RI'ried on by veSBels employed in trall3·
porting passengers. Ibid. .
All those powers which relate to merely municipal legislation, or which may be properly called inter.
na.l police, are not surrendered (by the States) or restrained, and consequently in relation to those the
authority of a State is complete, unqualified, and exclusive. The City of N. York v. Miln, 11 Peters,
10.2.
The act of the Ie~slatnre of New York passed February 1824, entitled, ·• An Act concerning passengers
in vessels arriving t!l the port of New York," is not a regulation of comme:rce, but or police; and being
so, it was passed in the exercise of a power which belonged to that State._ I~id. .
The power to reg11late commerce, includes the power to regulate nav1gation, as connected ~1tb the
commerce with foreign nations and among the States. . It does not stop at the mere bo~d~ bne of a
State nol' is it confined to acts done on the waters, or m the necessary course of the naVIgation thereof.
It extends to such acts done on the land, which interfere with, obstruct, or prevent the due· exercise of
the powers to regul~te commer~e and navigation with foreign nations, and amo~g ~e States. Any
offence which thus .mterferes With, obstructs, ?r prevents sueh. commeroe and nu;ngation, though done
on land may be punished by Congress, under 1ts general authonty. to make all lawe necessary and pm·
per to ~xecu~ their delegated conatitutional powers. The Un1ted States "':Lawrence Coombe, 12

lating to fugitives from labour mamfestly contempiates the eXIstence of a positive, unqualified ngbt on .
the part of the owner of the ;lave, whic~ noS~ ~aw or regul_ati_on can in any way qualjfy, r~gulate,
control, or restrain. Any law or regulation ~htcb .mterrupts, l1m1ts., d.elays, or pos_tpon~s the nghts of
the owner to the immediate command of h1s semce or labour, operates pro tanto, a discharge of tbe
11lave therefrom. The question can never be how much he i.s discharged from; bnt wbetber he is. dis-
charged from any ser~ice· by the natural and neMssary ~perat1~n of the State _laws, o~ S?'te regulation~.

TREATIES.

TREATY-MAKING POWER.
BY the ARTICLES OF CoNFEDERA'l'IO.S of July 8, 1778, the followin«
provisions were made relative to treatiea by the United States:
Article 6, section 1. "No state, without the consent of the United
States, in Congress assembled, shall send any embassy to, or receive
any embassy from, or enter into any confirmed agreement, alliance-or
treaty with any king, prince or state; nor shall any person holding any
office of profit or trust under the United States or any of them, accept
of any present, emolument, office or title of any kind whatsoever, from
any king, prince or foreign state; nor shall the United States in Congress
assembled, or any ofthem, grant any title of nobility." Vol. I. 5.
SEc. 2. "No two or more states shall enter into any tre~ty, confe-
deration or alliance whatever between them, without the consent of th~
United States in Congress assembled, specifying accurately the purposes
for which the same is to be entered into, and how long it shall continue."
Vol. I. 5.
Article 9, sec. 1. H The United States in Congress assembled shall
have the sole and exclusive right and power of determining on peace
and war, except in cases mentioned in the sixth article; of sending and
receiving ambassadors, entering into treaties and alliances, provided
that no treaty of commerce shall be made whereby the legislative power
of the respective states shall be restrained from imposing such i~posts
and duties on foreigners as their own people are subjected to, or from
prohibiting the exportation or importation of any species of goods or
commodities whatsoever; of establishing rules for deciding in all cases
what captures on land or water shall be legal, and in what manner
prizes taken by land or naval forces in the service of the United States
shall be decided or appropriated ; of granting letters of marque and re-
prisal in times of peace; appointing courts for the trial of piracies and
felonies committed on the high seas; and establishing courts for receiving
and determining finally appeals in all cases of captures; provided that
no member of Congress shall be appointed a judge of any of the said
courts." Vol. I. 6.
SEo. 6. ''The United States in Congress assembled shall never en-
gage in a war nor grant letters of marque and reprisal in time of peace,
nor enter into any treaties or alliances, nor coin money, nor regulate
the value thereof, nor ascertain the sums and expenses necessary for the
defence and welfare of the United States, or any of them, nor emit bills
nor borrow money on the credit of t.he United States, nor appropriate
money, nor agree upon the number of vessels of war to be built or pur-
chased, or the number of land or sea forces to be raised, nor appoint a
commander-in-chief of the army or navy, unless nine States assent to
the same; nor shall a question on any other point except for aojourning
from day to day, be determined unless by the votes of a majority of thG
United States in Congress assembled." VoL I. 8. ·

CASES DECIDED IN THE COURTS. OF TilE UNITED STATES, AS TO TilE


OB"LIGATION AND CONSTRUCTION OF TREAT1ES.

The obligation of a treaty, the supreme law of the land, m~st b~ ad-
mitted. The execution of the contract between the two nat10ns 1s to
be demanded from the executive of each nation; but whe~e a treaty
affects the rights of parties litigating in court, the treaty as much binds
those rights, and is as much regarded by the Supreme Court as an act
of Gongress. . United States v. The Schooner Peggy, I Cranch, 103;
1 Cond. Rep. 256.
The termination of a treaty, by war, does not divest rights of pro-
per(y already vested under it. Society for the Propagation of the Gos-
pel v. 'l'he Town of New Ha\·en, 8 Wheat. 464; 5 Cond. Rep. 489.
Nor do treaties, in genera], become extinguished, ipso facto, by war
between the two governments. Those stipulating for a permanent
arrangement of territorial and other national rights, are, at most,
suspended during the war, and revi\·e at the peace, unless they are
waived by the parties, or new and repugnant stipulations are made.
Ibid. ·
Where a treaty is the law of the land, and as such affects the rights
of parties .litigating in court, that treaty as much binds those rights~ and
is as much to be regarded by the court, as an act of Congress. To con-
demn a vessel, therefore, the restoration of which is directed by the
· law of the ]and, though restoration be an executi\·e act, would he a
direct infractiOn of that law, and, of consequence, improper. United
States v. The Schooner Peggy, 1 Cranch, 103 i. I Cond. Rep. 256.
· A treaty, under the sixth article, section 2, of the Constitution, being
the supreme law of the land, the treaty of peace of 1783 operated as a
repeal of aU state laws previously enacted, inconsistent with its provi-
sions. Ware v. Hylton, 3 Dall. 199; I Cond. Rep. 99.
· :When~ver a right grows ~~t of, or is protected by, a treaty, it pre-
valls agamst aU laws, or deCJswns of the courts of the states and who-
. '
el'er ·may have the right under the treaty, is protected. But, if the
person's titl~ is .not afi'ected by the treaty,!f he claims nothing under
the treaty 1 h1s title cannot -be protected by tt.. Ibid.
The st!pulation in a treaty, that ':free ships shall make free goods,"
does not Imply the converse proposition, that enemy's ships shall make
'enemy's goods. 'l'he Nereide, Bennet, Mnster, 9 Cranch, 388; 3 Cond.
-Rep; 439. ·
· A treaty is, in its nature, a contract between two nations not a leuis-

to be r~garded i!l courts of justice as equivalent to an act of the legisla-
ture,, ~vhenever It operates of itself, without the aid of any legislative
provtsl~n. .But, when. the terms of the stipulation import a contract,
when e1th~r of the part1es engages to perform a particular act, the treaty
ad~resses Itself to the political, not the jud~cial department; and the
leg1slature must execute the contract; before it can become a rule for
the court. Ibid.
By the ~tipul~tions of .a treaty! are to. be understood its language and ·
apparent mtent10n, mamfested m the mstrument, with a reference to
the contracting parties, the subject matter, and the persons on whom it
is to operate. United States"'· Arredondo et ai, 6 Peters, 710.
A treaty of cession is a deed of the ceded territory, and the sovereign
is the grantee; the act is his, as far as ,it relates to the cession; the
treaty is hts act and deed, and all courts must so consider it: and deeds
are construed in equity by the rules of law. Ibid. 738.
Where a treaty is executed in two languages, each the language of
the respective contracting parties, both parts of the treaty are originals,
and both are intended to convey the same meaning. Ibid.
Where a treaty has been ratified according to the provisions of the
Constitution, it becomes the law of the land; and it is perfectly imma-
terial, whether or not the persons who signed it did or did not transcend
their instructions. Hamilton v. Eaton, North Carolina Cases, 77.
A treaty does not necessarily annul prior statutes, if there is no in-
terference wiLh them. Ibid.
The stipulations in a treaty between the United States and a foreign
power, are paramount to the provisions of the constitution of a particu-
lar state, or the confederacy. Lessee of Harry Gordon v. Kerr et al
1 Wash. C. C. R. 322.
A treaty between the United States and one belligerent, docs not
affect a question of prize, as between two belligerents, where the prize
(captured from the belligerent making the treaty) is brought by the
other belligerent into the ports of the United States; nor is it important
that the capturing vessel was commanded by an American citizen. The
treaty can bind only the parti.es to it; and whatever operation it may
have on the American citizen, indivi~uaUy, it cannot affect the general
question of the validity of prizes made between belligerents. The San-
tissima Trinidad, 1 Brockerib. 0. C. R. 478.
A judgment of a state court, where jurisdiction was acquired, not by
the common law, but by a statute of a state, which, before the rendition
of the judo-ment, had bean virtually repealed by the adoption of a treaty,
was voida"'ble, and not void. Livingston v. Van Ingen, Paine's C. C.
R. 55.
In 1780, the ancestor of the lessors of the plaintiff was indicted, he
beina a British subject, in the Supreme Court of New York, under the
act :r1titled "An act for the forfeiture and sale of the property of persons
who have adhered to the enemies of this state," &c. ; and in October,
1783, a judgment of forfeiture against his estates was rendered. The
treaty of 1783, against any subsequent confiscation, was signed in Sep-

Whene\'er a right grows out of or is protected by a treaty, it is
sanctioned against all the laws and judicial decisions of ·the states; and
whoever may have this right is protected. But if the person's title is
not affected by the treaty, if he claims nothing under the treaty, bis
title cannot be protected by the treaty. Owing v. Norwood's lessee,

. The Constitution of the United States confers absolutely on the go-
vernment of the United States the power of making war and of making
'treaties. Consequently that government possesses the power of acquiring
territory; either by conquest or by treaty, The American Insurance
Company v. 356 bales of Cotton, 1 Peters,~.
The usage of the world is, if a nation be not entirely subdued, to
consiqer the holding of conquered territory as a mere military occupa-
tion, until its fate shall be determined at the treaty of peace. If it be
ceded by treaty, the acquisition is confirmed, and the ceded territory
·becomes a part of the nation to which it is annexed, either on the terms
stipulated in the treaty of cession, or on such as its new master shall
impose. On such transfer of territory it has. never been held, that the
relations of the inhabitants with each other are changed. Their relations
with their former sovereign are dissolved, and new relations are created
. between them and the government which has acquired their territory.
'1'he same act which .transfers their country transfers the allegiance of
those who remain in it, and the law which may be denominated political
is necessarily changed, although that which regulates the intercourse and
general conduct of individuals remains in force until altered by the
newly created power of the state. Ibid•

DEPAR'l'MENT OF STATE.
Washington, Decernber 18, i90(J.
Sm : On the 13th o£ .April, 1906, the Senate passed a joint .resolu-
tion providing for a commisSion to examine into the subjects of
citizenship of the United States, expatriation, and protection abroad;
and to make a report and recommendations thereon, to· be transmitted
to Congress for its consideration. The resolution carried an appro-
priation of $10,000 for the.·expeuse of the commjssion. (S. Res. No.
30, 59th Congress, 1st sessiOn.)
On the 6th of tTune, 1906, the House Committee on Foreign Affairs,
to which aforesaid joint resolution had been referred, reported to the
House ac; follows: · ·
It Is the opinion of the (-ommittee that legislation is required to settl~ some
Qf the embarrassing questhms that aril;e in reference. to citizenship, expatria-
tion, and the protection of American citizens abroad.. The committee, however,
is not convinced of the necessity of having a commissioil to consider these
que~tions or to prellare legi~latlon for submission to Cong~:ess. Such. commis-
sions nre sure to be leisurely, certnln to be costly, and apt to be ineffective.
It seems to the conunlttee that the same end <."<111 be. reached In a more practi-
cal way. More information on these questions cnn be furnislled by those who
hav-e been obliged to denl with them practically than by any commission of
outsiders, howe\·er distinguished. We should be glgd if tbe Secretary of State
would select some of the gentlemen connected with the State Department who
have given special attention to these subjects, ba ve them prepare a report and
propose leglslation tbnt could be considered by Congress at the next session.
'f'he result of such a commission we are confident would be of value. If there
was any sma11 ext)ense for clerl{ hire, etc., lrl . connection with Its work, this
eould, as we undetstand, be defrayed, under the direction of the Secretary of
State, from the general appropriations made by Congress. If a blll remedying
such ev-ils .as may e.."':lst is submitted .a t the beginning of the next session It
shall bm·e the careful attention of this committee, and If its contents are ap-
proved we will .m ake every endeavor to have lt promptly enacted into law.

( 1) Citizenship in Morocco may be said to be governed by the laws
pertaining to the same in other countries, with the exception that all
persons residing jn Morocco who can Ddt prove foreign citizenship
or protection are considered ipso jure as Moorish subjects.
(2 and 3) Moorish subjects losttheir nationality-only by becoming

lations with the Moonsh Empire.
It was established by the Convention of Madrid, concluded July 3,
1880, as follows :
ARTICLE XV.

Any sub1ect of i\Iorocco who has been naturalized in a foreign country,


and who s1m.H return to Morocco. shall. after bavlng remained for a length
of time ggual to that which . shall have been regularly neeessorv for him to
obtafn such naturalization. choose between entire submission to the laws of
the Empire . and the obligation to ouit Morocco. unless it shall be proved. that
his naturalizatton in a foreign country was obtained with the consent of the
Go\•ernr.rient of Morocco.
Foreign naturalization heretofore acquired by subiects of Morocco accord'-'

The above ruling has never yet been acted upon, and should this
at any time be contemplated seriously, a large number of naturalized

A List of Treaties and

Agreements of the
United States in Force
on January 1, 2013

This publication lists treaties and other international agreements of the United States on record in the

denounced by the parties, replaced, superseded by other agreements, or otherwise definitely terminated.

Treaties in Force as January 1, 2013

Foreword

Treaties in Force is prepared by the Department of State for the purpose of providing information on treaties and other
International agreements to which the United States has become a party and which are carried on the records of the Department of
State as being in force as of its stated publication date, January l, 2013. With respect to treaties and agreements in force as of
January 1, 2013, information regarding status is up to date as of the date indicated as authoritative.
The electronic edition of Treaties in Force may be updated periodically throughout the year on the Treaty Affairs webpage. It
is presented in Adobe Acrobat PDF and/or IITML format, which allow text searches and printing of the entire document or
selections from it.
The print edition of Treaties in Force is published annually in limited quantities to meet the needs of certain users who are not
able to consult the on-line version. The print edition lists only those treaties on record at the time of publication as being in force for
the United States on January 1 of each year. Because the print edition is only updated annually, the electronic edition, in most cases,
will better reflect the current status of U.S. treaties and international agreements.

Arrangement
Treaties in Force is arranged in two sections. Section 1 includes bilateral treaties and other international agreements listed by
country or other international entity with subject headings under each entry. Arrangements with territorial possessions of a country
appear at the end of the entry for that country. In some cases, treaties and international agreements applicable to a territory prior to
its independence are included in the entry for that country on the basis of its assumption of treaty obligations upon becoming
independent, as noted at the beginning of the entry for that country. For convenience, some treaties and agreements concluded with
countries whose name or statehood status has changed continue to be listed under the name in use at the time the agreement was
concluded, if the title of the treaty or agreement has not been formally amended.
S~tion 2 lists multilateral treaties and other international agreements to which the United States is a party, arranged by
subject. The depositary is the authoritative source for a current list of parties and information on other matters concerning the status
of the agreement, and status information often changes. Information is provided on the depositary for the agreement in question, and
contact infornmtion, including an Internet site is provided for the depositary where available.

Scope
Treaties in Force uses the tern1 "treaty" in the generic sense as defined in the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, that
is, an international agreement "governed by international law, whether embodied in a single instrument or in two or more related
instruments and whatever its particular designation." The term "treaty" as a matter ofU.S. constitutional law denotes international
agreements made by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate in accordance with Article II, section 2 of the
Constitution of the United States. In addition to such "treaties", this publication covers international agreements in force that have
been concluded by the Executive (a) pursuant to or in accordance with existing legislation or a prior treaty; (b) subject to
congressional approval or implementation, and/or (c) under and in accordance with the President's constitutional powers.
Treaties in Force includes those treaties and other international agreements entered into by the United States which, as of the
specified date, had not expired by their own tefDlS, been denounced by the parties, replaced or superseded by other agreements, or
otherwise definitely terminated. Certain agreements, particularly those concerned with World War II and the inlmediate postwar
period, which contain continuing provisions or which have not been clearly terminated in their entirety are included even though
operations under the agreements may have ceased. While all efforts are made to ensure the accuracy of this publication, the
presence or absence of a particular agreement, as well as the details cited regarding a listed agreement, should not be regarded as
determinative of the status of the agreement. Some categories of agreements, such as those implementing certain other agreements,
are deliberately omitted from this publication even though they constitute binding international agreements. If there is a question
about the status or details of a particular agreement, the text of the agreement itself always should be consulted in the first instance.
Please bring any suspected errors or omissions to the attention of the Office of Treaty Affairs at the U.S. Department of State.

Foreword
Treaties in Force is prepared by the Department of State for the purpose of providing information on treaties and
other international agreements to which the United States has become a party and which are carried on the records of the
Department of State as being in force as of its statedpublication date, January 1, 2016.
The electronic edition of Treaties in Force may be updated periodically throughout the year on the Treaty Affairs
we\Jpage. It is presented in Adobe Acrobat PDF, which allows text searches and printing of the entire document or
selections from it
The print edition of Treaties in Force is published annually in limited quantities to meet the needs of certain users
who are not able to consult the on-line version. The print edition lists only those treaties and international agreements on
record at the time of publication as being in force for the United States on January 1 of each year. Because the print edition
is only updated annually, the electronic edition, in most cases, will better reflect the current status of U.S. treaties and
international agreements.

New features in tile 2016 version of Treaties in Force


The 2016 edition of Treaties in Force reflects several changes from the last full edition of Treaties in Force published in
2013. Treaties are listed in this edition according to a new, streamlined category system that organizes treaties by subject
matter. To aid \vith the transition, a category crosswalk table listing the new categories alongside their older counterparts
appears on page iii.
For multilateral treaties with depositaries, lists of parties have been omitted. Current lists of parties for these treaties can be
obtained from the depositary for the treaty in question. Each listing in this edition includes the identity of the depositary
and, where available, an internet site address for depositary information.
This edition also reflects changes in format and listing practice for particular categories of instruments. Of note, in order to
avoid confusion as to their legal character, this edition omits a number of non-binding instruments regarding defense
cooperation that have been included in prior editions. In addition, this edition includes listings of certain project-specific
agreements for economic and technical cooperation concluded by the U.S. Agency for International Development only
since 2006. Additional information about the scope of Treaties in Force is contained later in this Foreword.

Armllgement
Treaties in Force is arranged in two sections. Section I includes bilateral treaties and other international agreements
listed by country or other international entity ·with subject headings under each entry. Arrangements with territorial

some treaties and agreements concluded with countries whose name or statehood status has changed continue to be listed

amended.
