Government Control

When J.P. Morgan and his buddies were attempting to take control of the American Government during the late 1800’s they ran into a major problem. The Constitution was directly in their path to extend their power.

They had to take control of each branch of government separately and control them to their own ends. Congress and the Presidency were easy by way of controlling the voting or counting of votes. The Judicial Power was a tougher problem. This required precise cases set up to go to the Supreme Court and distinguish Constitutional law from Contract or Commercial law.

In 1881 the first case, Julliard v. Greenman, was fashioned to allow commercial paper, called private bank notes, to circulate as if it were money, but was required to be backed 100% by specie (real gold or silver).

This case originated from a sale of cotton, a commercial transaction between States, and since the supreme court had already ruled the 1862 “legal tender laws” passed by Congress to be unconstitutional, they had to come up with a case that ruled the “legal tender laws” were constitutional. Julliard v. Greenman upheld the acts without reference to the war power. In this case, the Court inferred the power from the express power to borrow money and the implied power to issue bills of credit. Remember, Congress’ powers extend to this case only because it was a case regarding interstate commerce.

The Supreme Court, by talking out of both sides of its mouth, is effectively creating another jurisdiction that is based upon the forced acceptance of a currency that is not agreed to by free people. This currency is forced upon the commercial business of those engaging in commerce that is backed by…, well, the commercial businesses themselves!

So, through the creation of paper money and forcing businesses into accept the commercial paper, Congress has now created a “country” (the Chinese call it “paper tiger”) that is a de facto representation of the original constitutional requirement that “no state shall… make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts.”

The commercial businesses that grew up around free Americans have replaced the original money system and thereby polluted the original laws that the Constitution declares. They’ve supplanted the common law with the Admiralty/Maritime legal commercial system.

These two systems are still in America today, but the people have been convinced, thanks to J.P. Morgan and friends, the media, professionals, and the public school system that the commercial remedies are the only remedies for both business and individuals.

The truth, or the proverbial ace in the whole, is that we still have Constitutional remedies for those who choose to use them. Unfortunately each individual must take the proper action to avail themselves of these remedies and a lawyer or agent will not and cannot effect these remedies for the individual.
