Rome
made its living for centuries by stealing and making improvements upon
other people's ideas. It also made a lot of its money by conquering and
enslaving other people, but not always directly in the sense of forcing
them to be house servants or field workers or soldiers.
The majority of the time, Rome used a more white collar means to enslave: taxes and tributes.
Taxes
in the Roman world were usually head taxes or user fees that were
direct and which individuals could somewhat control by their own
habits. If you didn't buy Greek anchovies, you didn't pay the Greek
anchovy tariff (tax).
Tributes
were indirect taxes by comparison and were levied by a complex system
of arbitrarily extracted "gifts" of labor and commodities sent to Rome
each year by individuals and communities who were grateful for Roman
protection and Roman investments.
Bear with us. This is important. Taxation in Ancient Rome is more important today than you might think.
Another
way to look at it, is that sales taxes and tariffs and user fees paid
for the City of Rome itself and poured into the Urban Trust each year,
while external tributes sent to Rome represented a portion of one's
labor and/or commodity production, like a secular tithe, and went to pay
for roads, aqueducts, theaters, public baths and similar
infrastructure.
Tributes
were a percentage of the value of one's labor, what we would call
income taxes today, and both individual people and organizations were
obliged to pay their percentage to Caesar each year.
Once
Rome became a military dictatorship the Romans even applied this tax to
their own "citizens" -- bureaucrats, soldiers, and lower level public
employees of the realm -- or, as one of the Roman sages put it, "those
deemed blessed enough to be considered Romans, but not blessed enough to
avoid paying Roman taxes."
Nothing
has changed. Today, in The United States, the same exact system has
been used to enslave both citizens and non-citizens alike.
Americans
continue to be taxed using tariffs, sales taxes, and direct user fees
(for example, gas taxes and taxes on public utilities and services like
electricity and garbage removal). The Federal Income Tax, a form of
modern day tribute, continues to be officially described as a "gift and
estate tax" and is also officially touted as being a "voluntary"
obligation.
As
in Rome, the only sense in which this tax is voluntary, is that the
consequences of not paying it are worse than the consequences of paying
it.
The
enslavement of babies from birth was perfected by the Roman Catholic
Church, which "invested" in each individual from birth, and created
individual trust funds for each "citizen" in the Vatican's care
-meaning, parishioners, clergy, and dependents.
The
Pope paid a "birth bond" for each such individual equal to the baby's
weight at birth in gold, thus starting the otherwise odd practice of
recording the exact weight of babies at birth.
This
birth bond became a debt owed to the Church at birth and remained
silently in the background throughout the lifetime of the individual.
The wealth this represented, unknown to the individual, was managed by
the Vatican as a Slush Fund that paid for pensions for the clergy and
maintenance for the churches, etc., and as it was an individual debt,
each parishioner was expected to pay the interest on it each year in the
form of taxes and tributes and tithes.
The
Church's taxation system can be viewed as a simple and ingenious
adaptation of the taxation system of Ancient Rome, with some added
benefits. A special tithe on income collected each year on April 15th,
known as "Peter's Pence", became the Church equivalent of Tribute to
Rome, while tithes and service fees and weekly offerings became the
domestic income.
It
is directly observable how Tribute to Rome morphed into Peter's Pence
and again, transformed into "Federal Income Tax". It's the same tax
collected under different names by different institutions, but still the
same in kind and character, and it still involves peonage -- a degree of forced servitude, bonded or not.
The
bonding employed by the Church made each baby a debtor to the Church
from the very beginning of life, even though the baby was blissfully
unaware of this obligation, and would always remain so. Whatever
"benefit" the little tyke received for sharing the Church's debts and
funding the Church's operational expenses and pensions and investments
--- was in the form of Church programs and use of Church facilities.
He
or she would never see a penny of the wealth generated as a result of
their indebtedness -- only the taxes used to pay the interest on this
debt.
If
the victims were Catholic, they grew up and received the Church's
benefits; if not, they were simply Debtors, and were taxed for it
anyway, via the Secular Taxation system.
If
a baby weighed six pounds at birth and gold was selling at $30 per
ounce at the time, the Pope's investment would be: 6 X 16 X 30 = $2880.
That amount would be set aside as an investment in the baby and his
lifetime earning potential. This silent asset of the church managed as a
trust created a giant investment fund that was tax free. If the Pope
borrowed the gold to make this initial investment, the interest became a
debt owed by the parish and the parishioners.
Gold
prices being what they are and the Church's reputation being tattered,
it has become untenable for the Church to continue this process of birth
bonding, but never fear -- "Trump Accounts" are here.
The
Trump Administration has announced that it will set up individual
Treasury Accounts for each baby born and contribute $1000 to these
accounts (the new, reduced birth bond amount) which will allow the
British Crown Corporation dba "the United States of America, Inc." to
silently indebt each new baby under this same ancient system of silent
taxation, debt, and peonage.
Instead
of paying this birth bond in gold, however, they will be using paper
that they can gin up themselves and which is based on the victim's own
credit. And for this "token" disguised as a gift, they will indebt
your baby for life and secure a public trust interest in his or her
estate-- basically, an unearned security interest.
What
a deal! Get all that under the table for free, while making political
hay and getting praise from all the ignorant dupes thanking the Trump
Administration for its generosity.
Except,
that, we have been to this picture show before, and we object to
Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent's "offer" as quoted by
Breitbart, July 30th, 2025: "We are making people part of the
system...."
Mr.
Bessent and the Trump Administration are simply not telling people how
and why and with what benefit to themselves they are proposing to do
this, and this omission lacking full disclosure is fatal; these accounts
given to little babies and disguised as gifts, are actually a means of
latching onto them and subjecting them to public peonage, redefining
them as debtors, and as public investment interests that can be fully
securitized and collateralized for the sake of this petty debt.
Made "part of the system", indeed, and using their own credit and inherited assets to do it, too.
If
it were just a little savings account with no strings attached given to
the babies as an encouragement --- as Mr. Bessent seems to suggest, to
learn about money and savings and investing our pennies, that would be
well and good.
Instead,
the USA, Inc. is on the ropes and looking for a new way to carry on
ancient evils, which we recognize for what they are.
For
this reason we are objecting to the entire proposal as an incipient
commercial fraud seeking unjust enrichment --- and returning with a
counteroffer: turn over our assets to our own control and transfer them
to our new, clean banking system for administration as described in our
current Notices to Mr. Bessent, together with the vast amounts of
prepaid credit that we are owed.
Then
we will reconsider your service contract and whether or not we will
renew it and allow you to provide the limited and enumerated services
described.
The
pertinent international commercial courts and commercial law
enforcement officials have been fully informed. Notice to Agents is
Notice to Principals; Notice to Principals is Notice to Agents.
Postscript:
We find it particularly offensive that you have persisted in attempting
to take advantage of babies and their gullible young parents.
