A Little Background for Better Understanding…
During the black plague’s great fires in London, Parliament enacted the Cestui Que Vie Act 1666. This subrogated the rights of men and women, meaning all were declared dead, and lost at sea. The Government took custody of everybody’s property into a trust. Changes to legislation: There are currently no known outstanding effects of the Cestui Que Vie Act 1666. It has NEVER been Repealed.
The Federal Reserve holds stocks in your “strawman-created name” (NAME IN ALL CAPS) assigned to you at birth, through various unconstitutional/unlawful contracts created by the USA INC (de facto) such as the Birth Certificate for example, and We the People, under deceptive measures and malfeasance unbeknownst to us.
The Federal Reserve owns us. We were made into chattel through these unlawful contracts.
When we're born, the U.S.A. INC. (de facto) offers Us up as collateral to the Federal Reserve, so they can be lent more money. The Federal Reserve is a “Private for Profit” “Foreign Owned & Controlled” unconstitutional/unlawful construct, and not an entity belonging to the Federal Government of the United States of America, but rather belonging to the CORPORATION OF THE UNITED STATES ie; (U.S.A INC.)
