Tomorrow Never Knows
Tomorrow Never Knows A quote by President Harry S Truman, a brilliant individual and genuine “man of the people” reads thusly: “Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.” (Found at Information Clearing House, operated on the web by Tom Feeley) The past week or so we

Secret Sect Plans Invasion Of Mexico
Secret Sect Plans Invasion Of Mexico The commander-in-chief of the Knights of the Golden Circle announced from his San Antonio headquarters on Oct. 31, 1860, that another 11 companies of volunteers were armed and ready for the invasion of Mexico. But most Texans knew by then that George Bickley was blowing smoke. All, in fact, was not going according to plan. Even though the conspiracy had every indispensable ingredient
Letters To The Editor
Dear Editor, From the recent revelations about Ted Haggard, Mark Foley, and James McGreevey, back to the uncloseting of Michael Huffington and before him, J. Edgar Hoover, we see some of the loudest anti-gay bullies are themselves homosexual. Next time one hears homophobic hate-mongering, one should ask, “where is this person coming from?” Yours truly, Bruce Joffe, Piedmont, CA Dear Editors, Remembering Our Heroes on Veterans Day What does Veterans Day mean to you? To me, it is a special time to remember our Servicemen and women “living and dead” who for 230 years stood up in defense of this great nation. The liberty bell continues to ring because of people like: George Washington, Robert E. Lee, George S. Patton and the Tuskegee Airmen of World War II. Saturday, November 11, 2006, is Veterans Day! The movie “The Flags of our Fathers,” depicting the Battle of Iwo Jima, touched me because my Uncle Lewis fought there. He was with the 1st Marine Division and by the grace of All-Mighty God came home to a joyful family. Lewis was named after his Great Grandfather Lewis Milton Griffith who served in the 39th Mississippi Regiment, Company B-CSA during the War Between the States. My family is proud of both these men. On Veterans Day let us not forget that it was American Patriot Patrick Henry who said: “It can not be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by the religionists but by Christians, not on religion but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” Can you imagine what some people might say today about such a bold statement as this? There was a time when his words were the soul of our nation. Let us remember that George Washington led his troops in prayer before they crossed the Delaware River on a cold-snowy night to surprise the British and Hessian Troops on December 26, 1776. Our children should know of Andrew Jackson and a ragtag army who defeated the British in 1815 at the Battle of New Orleans. A young officer named Wade Hampton of South Carolina rode 750 miles in ten days to Columbia, South Carolina, and then to Washington, D.C. to tell President Madison and the country of the great victory. We shall never forget that in March, 1836, a small group of men at the Alamo stood between Santa Anna

Illegal Tender? — Class Action Suit Accuses Banks Of Illegal Creation Of Money
Class Action Suit Accuses Banks Of Illegal Creation Of Money
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Canada John Ruiz Dempsey, a criminologist and forensic litigation specialist, last year filed a class action suit on behalf of the People of Canada alleging that financial institutions there have been engaged in the illegal creation of money.
According to Dempsey, the lawsuit, which could involve millions of Canadians, claims that money is being created out of nothing by Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) and that the money is then entered into the bank clients’ accounts as loans.
Dempsey says that these loans are not backed by currency or any real tangible asset and, essentially, “the bank never loaned any money of their own, nor do they stand to lose any money of their own at any time.”
The complaint, the first of its kind ever filed in Canada, was originially filed on April 15, 2005, in the Supreme Court of British Columbia at New Westminster and later updated on Aug. 10, 2005, but on Feb. 27, 2006, presiding judge Nicole Garson called off a hearing scheduled for three days after hearing only 20 minutes of questioning in the matter, saying that the People’s claim has no merit and that their claims are vexatious, frivolous, scandalous, and abuse of process.
Dempsey had filed a motion to have Garson recused, a motion that he had intended be heard by the Chief Justice, but it wasn’t. Dempsey says that Garson should have recused herself since prior to becoming a Supreme Court justice, she was the lead counsel for one of the defendant banks, TD Canada Trust, a situation Dempsey deemed a conflict of interest.
During the last hearing on April 6, 2006, Dempsey served Garson a Writ of Summons and Statement of Claim, filing a lawsuit against Garson in her personal capacity for interfering with what Dempsey described as his personal right of unlimited contract with his principals.
Says Dempsey, “Whatever happens, this is only the beginning. The greatest battle, ‘The People vs. The Banks,’ has only begun.”
In an interview with Iconoclast publisher W. Leon Smith, Dempsey explained that in Canada, as in the United States, where the similar Federal Reserve System is in place, all monies advanced by banks to its borrowers are simply IOUs where money is digitally created by computer entry.
“No cash or any valuable or legal consideration is received by the debtors,” he said, noting that financial institutions who are in the business of lending money have been illegally creating money out of nothing since the 1950s and 60s and there is no law in Canada that empowers any financial institutions to create money out of thin air.
Dempsey explained that in most transactions, there is no two-sided contract the bank does not generally sign meaning that a contract per-se does not legally exist.
The litigation specialist is also working with Indian tribes to establish banks within their soverign nations that do not have ties to the Canadian version of the Fed.
Here is the interview:

ICONOCLAST: You filed a class action suit in New Westminster, B.C. on April 15, 2005, accusing banks in Canada of the illegal creation of money. Can you explain the basis of this suit?
DEMPSEY: The suit is fundamentally based on the fact that money does not exist. When we go
