Harry:
Thank you for the opportunity to be on your e-mail list. I appreciate your generosity and hard work.
I am writing to ask you to unsubscribe me from your list. I value your research reports. However, it would be hypocritical of me to accept them.
I believe in death penalties for private corporations and partnerships. My vote for one of the first to be executed is Goldman Sachs.
You and your colleagues have helped to build and manage a machinery that has committed treason and genocide on a breathtaking scale. The history of Goldman Sachs over the last two decades is living proof that it is possible to kill with a financial system and a pen.
The fact that you don’t understand what you and your colleagues are doing is breathtaking. It raises more than a few questions about whether you understand what is really behind the flow of funds you track and publish.
The question before us is who will pay the price of the mess that you and your colleagues have had such a significant hand in creating:
Who will lose their business and who will keep it?
Who will lose their job and who will keep it?
Who will lose their home and who will keep it?
Who will lose their reputation and who will not?
Who will lose their family and who will not?
Who will lose their health and who will not?
Who will lose their future and who will not?
Who will lose their life and who will not?
Who will lose their freedom and who will not?
My plan for bailing out the country would include asserting common law offsets against the assets of the NY Fed member banks and all of their partners and employees who benefited up to an amount sufficient to repay $4 trillion missing from the US government, to fund losses caused by the manipulation of the precious metals markets and to fund claims of fraudulent inducement and fraud on mortgages and mortgage securities. To fund the offsets, I would propose to seize the offshore and onshore assets of those who created the mortgage bubble and derivatives mess in the first place.
Frankly, I see no reason why millions of poor people around the world should pay a global tax through the dollar and US treasury and agency securities for which the American people are liable, so you and your colleagues can continue to live in comfort and luxury without concern that you will be held accountable to the same standards of enforcement applied to the people who live in the communities wrecked by the mortgage, money laundering and financial fraud that made you and your clients so powerful.
It seems to me if anyone should lose their business, jobs and home, it is you and your colleagues.
Sincerely Yours,
Catherine Austin Fitts
Catherine,
Deepest compliments on your exemplary performance in the arena of morality, courage and intelligemce. The communicative power of the internet is the unanticipated adversary of the perpetrators of this world-wide ponzi scheme of unlimited debt-money that central banks create with their diabolically hidden subterfuge of fractional reserve banking. We must defend our right to the world wide web at all costs in waging this battle. At the core of their financial empire is, I believe, a financier banking elite of world shaking power. Only the deepest misery will inspire the people to win back their lost freedom. Much blood could be shed.
It is essential to awaken the populace to the desperate reality in which they find themselves and to understand the falsity of the establishment’s proposed solutions. Once informed, only by finding the courage to act will the possibility of recovering all that has been lost be realized. I would de-emphasize an orientation to punish and bring to justice those who have acted criminally against their fellow men, bringing us to this catastrophic crisis. This would only make the struggle more difficult. This on-going crime started with cental banking in England about 300 years ago, so that it is pointless to personally punish a few for the previous crimes of their many predecessors. What is essential is that we win back our freedom and natural rights as delineated in our American Constitution. This would be a monumental achievment and would fully satisfy me.
The battle cry: Inform, Unite and Act! And after victory, our motto: Eternal Vigilance.
All best and good health,
Peter
Catherine,
I want you to know that ability for country to move beyond this financial facism that we are allowing to take place must stop. The Federal Reserve must be removed at once! The problem is that the member private banks make will destroy this economy before they allow that to happen. I truly believe if you revoke the charter of the FED you will solve many issues!
Thanks again for your great work!
I love it when you are on Coast to Coast!
You are a class ACT!!!!!!
common law offset is “lock and load” and get our pound of flesh. they trash the constitution and mock any law and pay no mind to truth or facts. no way to shame them or beat them only way is to off them
Murray:
The Department of Justice to the position that the common law right of offset could be asserted by the government against Hamilton Securities Group, a Delaware Corporation, to withhold payables against a common law claim regarding theoretical opportunity cost on a distressed asset auction.
See: http://www.dunwalke.com/gideon
The NY Fed serves as depository for the US government. Hence, the question would be – could the same theory of law apply equally to a depository as a contractor and then to the agent banks serving the depository.
I believe the concept should be the same. So the conversion to corporation would mean that you could not necessarily go after the partners, but you could go after the corporation.
Hence, it makes sense that the government is buying the corporations. That is the ultimate protection for the folks who now hold all the profits. They get another round of cash and all the liability resides with the government and the remaining shareholders.
That leaves the citizens to find ways of asserting common law rights of offset against the government.
County tax escrows, anyone?
Catherine,
I like your approach here, especially with regards, to the assets of the principals of these corporations.
However, none of them are partnerships anymore, so the limited liability to any “partner” granted due to incorporation, shields all their assets save for the direct stake in the company. Thus, Paulson is out of danger, as he divested himself of his GS holdings (and at the right time & price, and WITHOUT a dime of capital gains to boot — which saved him $5 million).
That is why all the Wall Street partnerships went “public”, and changed their legal status.
I do not think that any common law right would supercede the current legal status of these former partners’ private assets.
You and some other posters point out something very interesting though, and that is the actual legal status legal fiction, of being legal persons, thus having natural persons’ rights, including Bill of Rights protection.
That is where you should focus your commentary, as there is ample evidence that the whole notion of corporations as being capable of legal personhood is unconstitutional and was never envisaged or desired by the founding fathers. All Supreme Court case law deciding this issue leads back to one decision which said nothing on this point in the “holding”. It is only found in that decision’s non-binding syllabus, slipped in by the reporter of the case, and never corrected since.
If we would return to the constitutional intent, and extinguish corporations’ legal right as persons, many of our problems would be solved. Of course this will never happen in the present climate, as too many on the court have something at stake. The left would loose the unions’ legal status, and the right the corporations’ legal status.
But just think of what this would mean to campaing finance or advertising regulations: no more commercial free speech, no more commercial right to donate to PAC’s, perhaps not even anymore PACs themselves, and of course no more limited liability to the crooks in the CEO suite.
Paul:
You are clearly right. Goldman is not the ultimate decision maker. Who’s in charge and where does evil come from? These are the questions that we most want answers to, but no one knows for sure.
Two of my favorites on this topic are Jon Rappoport and Linda Minor. Start with Jon’s audio seminar, Mind Control, Mind Freedom.
Best,
Catherine
Again, Catherine, pardon me for being thick here, but I only understand PART of the motivation.
I get the greed of the people running Goldman Sachs and the other agencies, governmental and NGO.
But that is just taking their piece of the con.
WHO is running and really getting the biggest slice of the stolen pie and WHAT do they really want? How many trillions can you accumulate before it is just another accounting entry.
I’m not getting that part.
Be patient with my slow learning.
