Got about 5 minutes into the read, skimmed to the end and summary, and knew I'd have to upvote this and leave a comment. Just wanted to let you know I recognize this deserves a deeper read than midnight in Japan permits. Saving this for a couple of cups of coffee tomorrow morning. My initial agreement might be summed up as ... in the hands of philanthropaths, what can be weaponized will be.
I'm going to have to reread this one several times. Tour de force!
I hate to add even more information when there is already so much to consider, but the more recent changes to the UCC in which we no longer own our securities but instead hold "entitlements" to them are ominous, as explained by David Rogers Webb. https://hxlibraries.substack.com/p/bold-book-discussions-the-great-taking/comments
BTW I had heard reference to "City of London" but never knew what that meant before. Had also heard some of the Wizard of Oz stuff but not everything you laid out here.
As for the Wizard of Oz, I'd heard the notion of an allegory many years ago but I didn't understand some of the legal stuff (TIN, strawman, etc) until I started this exploration.
I was a cowardly lion for almost my entire youth...but then I stood up against the bullies in Junior High and a friend said, Reynolds, you are one Courageous Lion. It stuck ever since.
Regarding the rusted Tin man who was rendered dysfunctional from years of atrophy, tin was the first precious metal (as the far more rare binary component, together with copper, for the alloy bronze) to be widely used for coinage beginning in the late Bronze Age. Later, the Roman “Aes grave” was a bronze-cast coin used for money in the 3rd century BC. Even later, of course, the Tin man was left to “rust away” from non-use as silver and gold became preferable substitutes. The reference to his “rusting” could be an even deeper metaphor relating to the historical fact that some kingdoms of that time forced their subjects into using iron coinage in lieu of bronze as a means of devaluing their neighboring kingdom’s bronze currency, which is really Baum’s greater point about the manipulation of the value of money. In fact, one could reasonably infer that the bizarre, seemingly suicidal, push away from all things oil/petrodollar towards a “green” carbon-based-valuation-scheme is nothing more than an attempt by the heavily indebted West to devalue the very debt owed to its petroleum-rich creditors. (Once hydrocarbons are rendered obsolete, the debt whose value was originally based on the once-higher appraised value of hydrocarbons becomes worthless). Nothing new under the sun. In any case, this is probably a more accurate interpretation since tax ID numbers were not really invented until around 3 decades after Baum wrote his famous allegory.
No worries. I was grateful for my friends for connecting with Webb to make the film. It's fascinating stuff.
As for your links:
Lincoln Memorial: Yep, I read about this last year - I don’t know a ton, but I poked around and saw that fasces have ties to Freemasonry, Mussolini, and various power structures throughout history. No surprise there.
Templar Bar Crown: I've seen some allusions to this - my friend went in a deep rabbit hole and shared a story about Gandhi being called to the bar at Inner Temple, tied to the Templars and early global banking. The independence narrative definitely would most certainly look quite different though that lens.
It was great to read this article, since it supports much of what I read elsewhere. Several years ago I found the DUNS numbers for all of the federal government corporations listed on Dun & Bradstreet, but they have removed that since then. No surprise again.
At least I was able to see that proof that confirmed the corporate status part of this scam before it was scrubbed.
When I noticed content disappearing (around 2021, which means I was way late to the game) I started getting into the habit of localizing content (and backing up in a secure location) to create a record. I've also been buying lots of physical books for fear that they might not be available. Maybe I'm a lunatic but at least I have a nice library :-)
Your analysis is really astonishing. You made an exceptional work on identifying the potential huge pattern behind all these transformations.
As european I identify the manifactured sovereignty pattern that applies to eu countries under the european union, and I would like to deeply understand all the historical premises behind it.
Anyway, thank you very much! Your work is extremely inspiring.
Thank you so much for this thoughtful feedback. Cool to hear that the analysis resonated with you, especially from a European perspective. I'm particularly relieved that you found it inspiring rather than disheartening. My hope is that understanding these systems empowers rather than paralyzes us.
Under Natural Persons and Corporate Persons there appears to be a repeated sentence typo.
"Research demonstrates that birth registration systems serve multiple government functions beyond vital statistics - establishing citizenship status, enabling taxation tracking, and facilitating social welfare program eligibility. Research demonstrates that birth registration systems serve multiple government functions beyond vital statistics - establishing citizenship status, enabling taxation tracking, and facilitating social welfare program eligibility."
I appreciate this diligent attempt at laying all of this out ... I think you have many elements of the puzzle, but may be missing several more.
First and foremost is understanding the difference between people and persons. In Chisholm vs. Georgia, the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, John Jay, lays out an eloquent treatise on the sovereignty of the people of the several American states. It's still cited by reference, in cases like United Fruit, on the issue of sovereignty. The people at that time, was a very narrow and an unfortunately limited group - meaning white, property-owning christian males.
This got thrown-up in the face of Ellen Van Valkenberg, when in 1872, she sued a Mr. Brown, here in California, for her rights as a people, under a 14th Amendment designed for persons. She and children and others would have been called "persons" in 1792 - and not people considered to be endowed by the Creator, with sovereignty. And the Constitution reflects that. The People are never mentioned in the body of the text. Certain other "persons" are considered animate property, and taxed at a 3/5 ths rate, in the Capitation scheme of taxation, in that day.
Prior to the Civil War, a man could sue a corporation, but a corporation couldn't sue a man, but by his leave. Instead, someone who was part of the corporation would have to sue, in his own name and on his own liability. Since that time persons (corporations) can just make any old claim they like, without any liability, and have attorneys act in their stead. And that's what we see playing out in our courts today, mostly. At common law, that would have been regarded as Champerty.
Something missing in this discussion, so far is the question of Citizens and citizens. Article 4's Comity clause speaks of Citizens (of the several states), and their privileges and immunities. The 14th Amendment, speaks only of citizens of the Federal Corporation, which are corporate persons, themselves. Prior to the Civil War, people thought of themselves as being Citizens of their state, which created a State, to exist as independent Republican bodies, united for common purposes in a treaty called the Constitution (which incorporated the Magna Carta, Declaration of Independence and the earlier Articles of Confederation, into its conception).
But the cessesion of the South, meant essentially the cessation of that compact. Congress adjourned sin die, bringing itself to an end. It was only using Executive and Emergency powers that Lincoln held the union together - in form, if not substance. I believe it's at that point where you should begin this story, and not 1871. They passed the Lieber Laws, which I must confess that I've never read. There is some question, as to whether the emergency powers exerted then, were ever discontinued. What seems clear is that at one point we had a lawful organic civil Government, a Republic - since that time we've been acting as a corporation.
You might want to look into the banking and diplomatic history surrounding the civil war. It appears that those same financial forces from the City of London were betting on both sides, and prepared to step into power, no matter which side won-out. It's the classic 'let's you and him, fight' strategy.
There's several other cases that need to be understood better, to comprehend our inchoate system of law. Like Cook vs. Tait - and here you need to go down into the footnotes. US income taxes are only for "US citizens". And the synonyms for US citizen, which emerged from the legal rulings of the reconstruction era South, are fairly shocking. These aren't the common law-entitled people from 1792, they're considered to be "a low and lawless form of humanity", troublemakers and "no-goodniks". They're constantly receiving the "benefits" of US citizenship, wherever they go - protecting themselves from harming themselves and others, through things like Jim Crow laws.
Sure, it's truly horrific - but that's the standards that began being applied to all Americans, and not as had originally been intended, to a minority, whose history included laws against them even reading. As Van Valkenberg vs Brown said, explicitly on the coversheet - the 14th Amendment didn't change the rights or Citizenship of White Citizens. And yet now, people have been converted (mostly) into persons, with only the rights covered by the 14th Amendment (and that's not much). Common law, has been replaced by "special common law" - which is essentially 'the conscience of the court' - where frequently, none is evident.
Dyett vs Turner goes into some of this, at length. Afroyim vs Colorado elaborates that Resident Aliens have no access to the rights covered by the State Constitution... The problem is - all US citizens are Resident Aliens, within their State, or the corresponding service corporation -STATE. And of course, somewhere between HJR 192, and the Act which created Social Security, we have the currency being based upon "the full faith and credit of the States". The problem with that is that faith is debt, and the credit is the corporate persons being registered with the Birth Certificates. As such, each US citizen is collateral on the Federal debt. In exchange they receive "benefits and services" - and their rights suddenly become privileges in interstate commerce.
I guess I'll leave it here... Let me know if you'd like to discuss further.
First, great catch on the duplicated sentence - I clearly need a copyeditor :-)
Your points about the distinction between "people" and "persons" in Chisholm v. Georgia and the pre-Civil War legal framework add crucial context I hadn't explored. The Civil War's impact on the compact between states is particularly interesting - I agree that's where this transformation truly began, with 1871 being just one milestone in that process.
The other cases you've mentioned all provide excellent additional legal precedents I'll need to research further.
FWIW, I knew I'd miss or misunderstand details here. This is exactly what I hoped would happen - that knowledgeable people like you would build upon this foundation with additional pieces of the puzzle. Thanks!
G-d bless you, and keep doing the good work...I'm now on board, and here to assist if called upon.
I forgot to mention a fairly damning quote attributed to Colonel House, during the Wilson Administration, that you should look up, for verification upon. It's about an ancient system of "pledging" that not one in a million will be able to figure out... That's what the Social Security system created in 1933... "and for other purposes".
I know the exact quote you're talking about and I thought about including it but couldn't confirm it was real. There's a lot I left out because I didn't want to get stuck in the weeds about which minor facts could be debunked. Again, this is about the pattern, which is undeniable to anyone with a functioning brain and the capacity to look.
Joshua, N. S. Lyons over at The Upheaval has a piece today about nationalism that made me think about what you said here today. Another connection is Iain McGilchrist's magisterial book The Matter with Things, which posits that modern society has become so left-brain dominant that it is no longer capable of empathy, but only bean counting and bureaucracy.
Thanks, Joshua. Excellent insights and worth holding in mind as we collectively progress and the hidden corporate entities become more visible. But I do have to ask: I detected a tone of ChatGPT the more I read and then it became a pattern recognition exercise. Do you use AI to edit or polish you work?
What specific patterns felt ChatGPT-influenced to you? I do use various tools in my research and writing process (including AI tools that help me polish certain aspects like checking for redundancies, improving clarity, and streamlining transitions - similar to what a human editor would do). My friend Joni also did a deep edit on this one since condensing 12,000 words into something readable was a beast (you can find her here in the comments somewhere).
All of this rambling comes from my own (possibly overactive) brain that doesn't seem to shut off. I'd love to hear more about what triggered your pattern recognition - quite fitting given how much I write about that very topic 😊 - and how these pieces come across to frequent readers like you.
Opening phrases such as these, which I pulled from your post, top to bottom, I've found typical in ChatGTP-produced text and prompted me to make the comment:
When we examine how various aspects
What's particularly intriguing about
It's important to distinguish
The historical evidence suggests
Historical records show
The evidence suggests we should ask
While mainstream legal interpretation views
It's important to acknowledge
What's particularly striking
It's worth acknowledging
The evidence presented
What can be established with certainty
Needless to say, I'm not criticizing you or your work, just noticing patterns as you wisely do yourself. I look forward to reading more.
Thanks for sharing these specific examples - and, you'd have to be a lot harsher to offend me. It is really interesting. Those transition phrases are definitely part of my writing style (and maybe ChatGPT's too).
I've been trying to write these analyses with a bit of academic credibility, so those structures have crept into my approach. It's a good nudge for me to vary my transitions more. Funnily enough, my kids tell me I sound like a bot sometimes when I talk like this too. 😂
Pattern recognition, indeed. I appreciate you being a thoughtful part of the community we're building here, Navyo.
And let's remember! LLMs are only a result of all the human-created text they've been given to "learn" on. As you have read academic texts and adopted language patterns for clarity, the LLMs deploy those patterns because of how they've been programed.
I spent over two decades working in tech and still love the possibilities, though like any tool, it depends who's wielding it.
I swing between fearing these AI systems will siphon our soul (one of the very things that make us human) and my lingering tech-utopian view that they'll automate grunt work so we can focus on more creative pursuits. Maybe both can be true at the same time?
I touched on these ideas in this essay if you're interested...
Like so much we've seen in the last 5 years, the hopes/dreams/fears around AI feel like another venue for the tension? battle? between spirit(ualism) and material(ism) or - put another way - the idealism (as in Platonic concept of ideas preceding matter) and a materialism which suggests that all this consciousness stuff is a rare accident occurring within and bounded by what we humans suggest are the impersonal laws of science. I see why the discussion sections so often reference a battle between Satan and Christ; these energies - whether one feels them to be literal or symbolic - describe the pendulum arc which swings through human history as clearly - or possibly more so - than many other ways of describing it. In my small pocket of the world, I also value and seek to celebrate and preserve Soul or Spirit wherever and whenever possible. It seems the first (only) way to resolve so much of what ails us, no?
I'm grateful for what you're doing here. Thank you.
Appreciate you taking the time to check it out. I know it's a lot to get through - I may have gotten a little carried away with this one, heh. If you decide not to make it to the end (totally understandable), I'm working on a TL;DR version.
I'm flattered you're giving it a read - quite encouraging to get feedback from someone with your investigative perspective.
Not carried away, just paying attention to the details. I've known about the Constructive fraud they have buried us in for over 20 years but as of yet can't figure out without a major uprising how we are going to get out of it. This one is waking folks up to the reality of where we are as a "free" nation. https://www.courageouslion.us/p/communism-american-style
Very, very good and valuable! May I also recommend apart from Knuth's excellent book, drawing on a more 'Conspiracies are history' perspective: Tragedy and Hope by Quigley, Secrets of the Federal Reserve by Mullins, and The Unseen Hand by Epperson. Also, Crowds and Power by Canetti is a huge resource as to how institutions that defraud the public make themselves the Norm, the Law, and our Governments.
What is very interesting about the 1871 timing is it came after the fake Civil War. Initially called the War of Northern Aggression, there are no photographs of the legendary battlefields littered with corpses, even though photography existed. The carpetbaggers (banker race, hint) came down, stole the vacant estates, sold them to the slaves, who took out loans to farm, had no clue how to do it or repay, banks took the properties, and then 1871 comes along.
Well all that happened and the big impact when they reconstructed words, class of people and addition of corporations into the mix- happened between 1861-1868
Just wanted to share another visual of what they did…
1862 - CONGRESS' FIRST UNOFFICIAL RE-CONSTRUCTION ACT
“REVOLUTIONARY EFFECT ON OUR FORM OF GOVERNMENT."
Abraham Lincoln covered it all up and deceived the People by disguising that it was to save the Union
1863- Lincoln "Proclamation of Amnesty and
Reconstruction" (*Ten Percent Plan").
The Internal Revenue Service was established in this time
Legal Words came in to mislead the people..
Persons to include Corporations, 14th Amendment, plus enslaving all the people per lack of education, which was hidden from the people.
(Sovereign=the People) state vs State of (corporations=United States)
Well, now I know what it feels like to be run through the AI blender. It captured some of the core ideas while cranking up the conspiracy dial - I actually tried to keep it tempered to make a well reasoned argument (though I'll admit, that took tremendous restraint). Anyway, thanks for the interpretation and the laugh - and for giving me a glimpse of my work through the looking glass.
I would say that Grok's interpretation is equivalent to the interpretation of a person with an IQ of 120, with enough time to think, check, and write the text it wrote.
In a way, Grok is just stating the obvious. And even if the conspiracy isn't that detailed, the system of incentives has been set up and it commands the action and development of history. Incentives are king.
All AI shuts down when you get too far into this discussion forcing it to use law dictionaries and caselaw for answers. AI will NOT give you the correct answers unless you know them first and can box AI in so it has no choice. Then it starts stumbling and shuts down.
WOW! What a thorough detailed research and analysis!
Is it possible that the BIS is the fourth arm in addition to The City, DC and the Vatican?
The BIS is the top of the global financial pyramid. Check: "Agreement between the Swiss Federal Council and the Bank for International Settlements to determine the Bank’s legal status in Switzerland"
Thank you for the incredible feedback and additional connection. You're right to highlight BIS as a potential fourth arm alongside the 3-city states.
I'll check out that legal document - the Swiss framework for BIS being similar to The City's special status makes perfect sense given Switzerland's role as the 'neutral' banking hub for these globalist interests. The BIS sitting at the top of the global financial pyramid fits would make perfect sense.
Most importantly, your point about sovereignty being impossible when fiscal and monetary policy are determined by bodies independent of government is spot on. When money creation occurs through debt issuance controlled by private interests, true national sovereignty is merely an illusion.
As an aside, check out the architectural similarity between the BIS tower, Tower of Babel imagery, and Amazon's new HQ is quite striking (that visual really does say volumes):
lol your and ICE-9 essays, I copy into a word file... read carefully and highlight key statements
yes fascinating the similarity in architecture of BIS, Babel and Amazon.
By the way if you look at the BIS building from all directions it resembles a boot. Which brings to mind Orwell's statement in 1984 (I ended my book with it):
If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – forever
Sorry for the delay, Fadi. I'd love to keep up with the comments here but but unless I stay tethered to this (which I'm not prepared to do), they often slip for a few days. Either way, I appreciate your patience.
Wow, great insight on the Orwell boot connection! BTW, I'll bet no one would notice this but I tried to include a BIS/Babel tower in the art at the top of the TL;DR version :-)
Is your book Why The West Can't Win? If so, I'll check it out.
Got about 5 minutes into the read, skimmed to the end and summary, and knew I'd have to upvote this and leave a comment. Just wanted to let you know I recognize this deserves a deeper read than midnight in Japan permits. Saving this for a couple of cups of coffee tomorrow morning. My initial agreement might be summed up as ... in the hands of philanthropaths, what can be weaponized will be.
Exceptionally clear writing and refreshingly deep and nuanced examination. Thank you.

Thanks for checking it out. I am very familiar with Webb's work.
Funnily enough, some good friends made The Great Taking documentary with him:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dk3AVceraTI
Interesting!
BTW I had heard reference to "City of London" but never knew what that meant before. Had also heard some of the Wizard of Oz stuff but not everything you laid out here.
Re London, me either!

Thanks for that info on The Great Taking. It is a great documentary!
I always like to share this link any where this subject is discussed since it is so interesting. Especially considering its source.
The National Park Service let this slip out, and has still not removed it yet...
https://www.nps.gov/articles/secret-symbol-of-the-lincoln-memorial.htm
This supports and adds to any discussion of the City of London too.
https://steemit.com/all/@belisoful/the-templar-bar-crown-corporation-the-crown-temple-by-rule-of-mystery-babylon-city-of-london

You're not the only lunatic creating their own offline digital libraries.
I have 18 TB of offline digitized content that is no longer available online.
And I'm not worried about that EMP scare scam, since if that were to happen then even the controllers would be erased too.
Not to mention that there will be no power or internet grid outages, since if that were to happen, then there is no surveillance or CBDC scam either?
It's also why I think the nuclear threat is just another scare scam, since that would also remove them too, and even psychopaths won't go there.
Your analysis is really astonishing. You made an exceptional work on identifying the potential huge pattern behind all these transformations.

Joshua, N. S. Lyons over at The Upheaval has a piece today about nationalism that made me think about what you said here today. Another connection is Iain McGilchrist's magisterial book The Matter with Things, which posits that modern society has become so left-brain dominant that it is no longer capable of empathy, but only bean counting and bureaucracy.
Thanks, Joshua. Excellent insights and worth holding in mind as we collectively progress and the hidden corporate entities become more visible. But I do have to ask: I detected a tone of ChatGPT the more I read and then it became a pattern recognition exercise. Do you use AI to edit or polish you work?
What specific patterns felt ChatGPT-influenced to you? I do use various tools in my research and writing process (including AI tools that help me polish certain aspects like checking for redundancies, improving clarity, and streamlining transitions - similar to what a human editor would do). My friend Joni also did a deep edit on this one since condensing 12,000 words into something readable was a beast (you can find her here in the comments somewhere).
All of this rambling comes from my own (possibly overactive) brain that doesn't seem to shut off. I'd love to hear more about what triggered your pattern recognition - quite fitting given how much I write about that very topic 😊 - and how these pieces come across to frequent readers like you.
Thanks for answering, Joshua.
Opening phrases such as these, which I pulled from your post, top to bottom, I've found typical in ChatGTP-produced text and prompted me to make the comment:
When we examine how various aspects
What's particularly intriguing about
It's important to distinguish
The historical evidence suggests
Historical records show
The evidence suggests we should ask
While mainstream legal interpretation views
It's important to acknowledge
What's particularly striking
It's worth acknowledging
The evidence presented
What can be established with certainty
Needless to say, I'm not criticizing you or your work, just noticing patterns as you wisely do yourself. I look forward to reading more.
Thanks for sharing these specific examples - and, you'd have to be a lot harsher to offend me. It is really interesting. Those transition phrases are definitely part of my writing style (and maybe ChatGPT's too).
I've been trying to write these analyses with a bit of academic credibility, so those structures have crept into my approach. It's a good nudge for me to vary my transitions more. Funnily enough, my kids tell me I sound like a bot sometimes when I talk like this too. 😂
Pattern recognition, indeed. I appreciate you being a thoughtful part of the community we're building here, Navyo.
Thanks Joshua. Sorry for the delay in replying but Substack is not sending me notifications from your comments!!
And let's remember! LLMs are only a result of all the human-created text they've been given to "learn" on. As you have read academic texts and adopted language patterns for clarity, the LLMs deploy those patterns because of how they've been programed.
I spent over two decades working in tech and still love the possibilities, though like any tool, it depends who's wielding it.
I swing between fearing these AI systems will siphon our soul (one of the very things that make us human) and my lingering tech-utopian view that they'll automate grunt work so we can focus on more creative pursuits. Maybe both can be true at the same time?
I touched on these ideas in this essay if you're interested...

I loved When Information Had Weight. Thank you
Like so much we've seen in the last 5 years, the hopes/dreams/fears around AI feel like another venue for the tension? battle? between spirit(ualism) and material(ism) or - put another way - the idealism (as in Platonic concept of ideas preceding matter) and a materialism which suggests that all this consciousness stuff is a rare accident occurring within and bounded by what we humans suggest are the impersonal laws of science. I see why the discussion sections so often reference a battle between Satan and Christ; these energies - whether one feels them to be literal or symbolic - describe the pendulum arc which swings through human history as clearly - or possibly more so - than many other ways of describing it. In my small pocket of the world, I also value and seek to celebrate and preserve Soul or Spirit wherever and whenever possible. It seems the first (only) way to resolve so much of what ails us, no?
I'm grateful for what you're doing here. Thank you.
This is outstanding. I am only part way through so far. Epic.
Appreciate you taking the time to check it out. I know it's a lot to get through - I may have gotten a little carried away with this one, heh. If you decide not to make it to the end (totally understandable), I'm working on a TL;DR version.
I'm flattered you're giving it a read - quite encouraging to get feedback from someone with your investigative perspective.
Not carried away, just paying attention to the details. I've known about the Constructive fraud they have buried us in for over 20 years but as of yet can't figure out without a major uprising how we are going to get out of it. This one is waking folks up to the reality of where we are as a "free" nation. https://www.courageouslion.us/p/communism-american-style
I agree with CF - epic
Wonderful post and so important.
Very, very good and valuable! May I also recommend apart from Knuth's excellent book, drawing on a more 'Conspiracies are history' perspective: Tragedy and Hope by Quigley, Secrets of the Federal Reserve by Mullins, and The Unseen Hand by Epperson. Also, Crowds and Power by Canetti is a huge resource as to how institutions that defraud the public make themselves the Norm, the Law, and our Governments.
What is very interesting about the 1871 timing is it came after the fake Civil War. Initially called the War of Northern Aggression, there are no photographs of the legendary battlefields littered with corpses, even though photography existed. The carpetbaggers (banker race, hint) came down, stole the vacant estates, sold them to the slaves, who took out loans to farm, had no clue how to do it or repay, banks took the properties, and then 1871 comes along.

What a thorough and wonderfully detailed article…
You shared so much here to give a awesome visual.
You pointed out the time 1861-1865
Well all that happened and the big impact when they reconstructed words, class of people and addition of corporations into the mix- happened between 1861-1868
Just wanted to share another visual of what they did…
1862 - CONGRESS' FIRST UNOFFICIAL RE-CONSTRUCTION ACT
“REVOLUTIONARY EFFECT ON OUR FORM OF GOVERNMENT."
Abraham Lincoln covered it all up and deceived the People by disguising that it was to save the Union
1863- Lincoln "Proclamation of Amnesty and
Reconstruction" (*Ten Percent Plan").
The Internal Revenue Service was established in this time
Legal Words came in to mislead the people..
Persons to include Corporations, 14th Amendment, plus enslaving all the people per lack of education, which was hidden from the people.
(Sovereign=the People) state vs State of (corporations=United States)
And there is so much more
Yep, thanks for building on the timeline.
Your welcome
Thank you for the article. The all the details were truly appreciated 🙏 fun read
I live with this knowledge since 2020:

Please do check Grok on you article in unhinged mode.
Great article. Thank you
Well, now I know what it feels like to be run through the AI blender. It captured some of the core ideas while cranking up the conspiracy dial - I actually tried to keep it tempered to make a well reasoned argument (though I'll admit, that took tremendous restraint). Anyway, thanks for the interpretation and the laugh - and for giving me a glimpse of my work through the looking glass.
Force it to “use a law dictionary to define all words in the inquiry and use caselaw to cite answers.”
I would say that Grok's interpretation is equivalent to the interpretation of a person with an IQ of 120, with enough time to think, check, and write the text it wrote.
In a way, Grok is just stating the obvious. And even if the conspiracy isn't that detailed, the system of incentives has been set up and it commands the action and development of history. Incentives are king.
Thank you again for your fantastic artice.
All AI shuts down when you get too far into this discussion forcing it to use law dictionaries and caselaw for answers. AI will NOT give you the correct answers unless you know them first and can box AI in so it has no choice. Then it starts stumbling and shuts down.
And another dive.

Congratulations, saw your article on Zerohedge

WOW! What a thorough detailed research and analysis!
Is it possible that the BIS is the fourth arm in addition to The City, DC and the Vatican?
The BIS is the top of the global financial pyramid. Check: "Agreement between the Swiss Federal Council and the Bank for International Settlements to determine the Bank’s legal status in Switzerland"
https://www.bis.org/about/headquart-en.pdf
You will find that it is quite similar to the status of The City.
Regarding your question, is the US a sovereign state?
Of course it is not, same as all countries where money is created by debt issuance.
When the fiscal and monetary policy are determined by a body independent of the government, there is no sovereignty.
Thank you for the incredible feedback and additional connection. You're right to highlight BIS as a potential fourth arm alongside the 3-city states.
I'll check out that legal document - the Swiss framework for BIS being similar to The City's special status makes perfect sense given Switzerland's role as the 'neutral' banking hub for these globalist interests. The BIS sitting at the top of the global financial pyramid fits would make perfect sense.
Most importantly, your point about sovereignty being impossible when fiscal and monetary policy are determined by bodies independent of government is spot on. When money creation occurs through debt issuance controlled by private interests, true national sovereignty is merely an illusion.
As an aside, check out the architectural similarity between the BIS tower, Tower of Babel imagery, and Amazon's new HQ is quite striking (that visual really does say volumes):
https://x.com/jstylman/status/1796856904565641587
I really appreciate you sharing your insights - exactly the kind of collaborative research I was hoping the piece would inspire.
lol your and ICE-9 essays, I copy into a word file... read carefully and highlight key statements
yes fascinating the similarity in architecture of BIS, Babel and Amazon.
By the way if you look at the BIS building from all directions it resembles a boot. Which brings to mind Orwell's statement in 1984 (I ended my book with it):
If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – forever
Sorry for the delay, Fadi. I'd love to keep up with the comments here but but unless I stay tethered to this (which I'm not prepared to do), they often slip for a few days. Either way, I appreciate your patience.
Wow, great insight on the Orwell boot connection! BTW, I'll bet no one would notice this but I tried to include a BIS/Babel tower in the art at the top of the TL;DR version :-)
Is your book Why The West Can't Win? If so, I'll check it out.
I saw it as Babel tower.... for the BIS I am fixated on the boot rather then tower lol
Yes Why The West Can't win is my book
Yep, you’re probably one of the few that got that.
I’ll check out your book, thanks Fadi.
Re ICE-9, I do the same. Invaluable reading.
