CHRONICLES (March 1998). His message has been abbreviated to fit our

By becoming a member in the IMF, the United States re-hypothecated

its obligations and the full faith and credit to the International

Organization, under pretense of the Gold Reserve Act and the Articles of

Agreement of the IMF. Of course, when a government becomes a voting share

stockholder in any corporation, it RELINQUISHES its SOVEREIGN CHARACTER

and takes on the character of the corporation. (See: Bank of the United

States vs. Planters Bank of Georgia, 6 L.Ed 244). As of 1976, the United

States had 19.96% of the voting share stock in the IMF, the largest of any

other Nation-State. [As of 1996, the U.S. voting share was 17.78%, more

[TiM Ed.: No wonder the U.S. taxpayers are being spent out of house and

home by our government! Budget deficits are soaring and our national debt

has gone through the roof. The U.S. is now the world's No. 1 debtor

nation, according to Peter Peterson, chairman of Blackstone Group, a

former chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations and the U.S. Secretary

of Commerce in the Nixon administration (see his 1993 book "Facing Up").

Between 1970 and 1990, the federal government borrowing had gone from 15%

Meanwhile, guess who is sitting pretty while the U.S. taxpayers are being

gouged? The folks who collect the interest - the global bankers which,

according to Mr. Prukop, have practically hijacked the U.S. government.

Every year, they help themselves to several hundred billion dollars of our money in interest payments alone (the cost of our national debt was $200 billion in 1992, Peterson said, up 10 times since 1972!). And then they have the nerve to come back for more public funds in IMF-led bailouts,such as in Mexico or Southeast Asia.

That's not globalism; that's feudalism, with taxpayers in the role of serfs!].

PUYALLUP, WA - We received the following comment from a TiM reader responding to this writer's column - "Wall Street's Imperialism" - CHRONICLES (March 1998). His message has been abbreviated to fit our length. As you can see, this TiM reader is alleging that we have a "figurehead president," with the bankers pulling his (and our) strings and running the country: "Get this - the Treasury Secretary told the President what sort of a deal HE had cut with his Wall Street banking pals! This kind of sums up who is really running this country and for whose benefit." [the preceding was a quote from this writer's column in the CHRONICLES.] "The truth of the matter is that Robert Rubin IS more powerful than the President! When you search for the Oath of Office for the 'Secretary of Treasury' you will NOT find one. What you will find is Rubin's APPOINTMENT as the alien, corporate 'Governor' of 'The Fund' and 'The Bank,' and other INTERNATIONAL organizations for a period of five years. The de jure Office of the Secretary of Treasury was formerly a cabinet level position, but after the creation of the INDEPENDENT TREASURY in 1920-21, the funds were COMMINGLED and the Treasury of the United States of America was ABOLISHED.

The Secretary (Governor-IMF) issues an international letter of credit called a 'Special Drawing Rights certificate' to the Federal Reserve banks 'in such form and in such determination as HE may determine'. The SDR is then deposited in the Federal Reserve banks, which in turn credits the account of the Exchange Stabilization Fund with Federal Reserve Notes in an amount equal to the value of the SDR certificate.
