Critical reading test

[Jerseee]

All (except jim, ice, sui juris, OT and the like) :-)


here is the 23rd Amendment of the Constitution.& where is the United States?


"Amendment XXIII





<EMP>Section 1.</EMP> The District constituting the seat of government of the United States shall appoint in such manner as the Congress may direct:





A number of electors of President and Vice President equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives in Congress to which the District would be entitled if it were a state, but in no event more than the least populous state; they shall be in addition to those appointed by the states, but they shall be considered, for the purposes of the election of President and Vice President, to be electors appointed by a state; and they shall meet in the District and perform such duties as provided by the twelfth article of amendment.





<EMP>Section 2.</EMP> The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."


Maybe Article I, section 8, last paragraph and sentence will assist in the above question: Where is the United States?


here is Article I, section 8 (does section 8 sound familiar?):


"To exercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten miles square) as may, by cession of particular states, and the acceptance of Congress, become the seat of the government of the United States, and to exercise like authority over all places purchased by the consent of the legislature of the state in which the same shall be, for the erection of forts, magazines, arsenals, dockyards, and other needful buildings;--And





To make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this Constitution in the government of the United States, or in any department or officer thereof."


Maybe I'm not seeing this for what it is but doth my eyes decieveth me when reading Amendment XI?& Is this Amendment really saying what I see? could there be 2 United States? (being sarcastic)


"Amendment XI





The judicial power of the <U>United States</U> shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against <U>one of the United States</U> by citizens of another state, or by citizens or subjects of any foreign state."


I posted this not to insult the intelligence of any members but, to re-enforce the constant thought of where you and I are in the matrix.& this is just an informational post.

Jerseee,


I tried to get into a critical reading class this semester but I had a time conflict so, I was so excited when I saw your post titled Critical Reading Test.& However, I have to tell you it is a good thing you are not a school teacher because it is not a test when you give away the answers.& So, challenge us.& (don't make it to hard though because I don't like to be wrong.)


Now, a test for you.& Translate to laymans terms the below code.&
<P class=catchline>Title 22, Sec. 286. - Acceptance of membership by United States in International Monetary Fund
<DIV class=statute>
<P class=dataText>

<P class=labelLeader-nohead-1><A name=286.0><SPAN class=label-1></SPAN></A>
<P class=labeltext-1>The President is hereby authorized to accept membership for the United States in the International Monetary Fund (hereinafter referred to as the ''Fund''), and in the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (hereinafter referred to as the ''Bank''), provided for by the Articles of Agreement of the Fund and the Articles of Agreement of the Bank as set forth in the Final Act of the United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference dated July 22, 1944, and deposited in the archives of the Department of State
<P class=labeltext-1>I should tell you I don't have any idea what it really says.& That's why I am testing you.

Montana,

Good show.

It appears the code that you have pasted for me to test looks like they (international banking cartel) approved the United States chapter 11 or 13 of the bankruptcy. They (the US) are officially in debt to the bankers. It actually reads like a loan agreement of some sort.

And I believe a good teacher (which is not myself) should give you the answers and grade you later on how you operate in society with the knowledge that you were given. There are alot of A students that are dumb as hell---since common sense is not common.

What I am looking for in the code listed is backing for the fact that half of the shareholders of the Corporation of the Federal Reserve Bank are overseas.& By your response I can see that&the government is&sending money overseas, but I want more.& I guess I will start searching specifically for shareholders and see if it is public record at all.& I would be surprised if it isn't because the FRB seems to be so damn blatant about what they are doing.& It really is an arrogance, like they have gotten away with it for so long they have no fear.


I might have posted this before but I am going to post is again because it is amazing.& It is on the Web site for the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston:


When you or I write a check there must be sufficient funds in our account to cover the check, but when the Federal Reserve writes a check, there is no bank deposit on which that check is drawn.& When the Federal Reserve writes a check, it is creating money.

Montana,


the key word is "international".


so did I pass or fail?

I'll have a cookie and think about it.


Montana

Okay, I thought about it. You've passed.& I should have informed you previously, that due to the short length of the course, there will be no letter grade issued.


Seriously now,& can you believe that I didn't know what the word "cartel" meant.& Once I looked it up everything fell into place.&


Thanks for the help again.


Montana

This is a good article that I found today when searching the internet about Federal Reserve Shareholders.

It's a script of a phone call to the Federal Reserve.

Just bringing this back up to the front for folks who may be interested.

I am going to add the definition of cartel from Webster's Dictionary because when I just read my own post from above I couldn't remember what cartel meant again.


cartel: a combination of indepentent business enterprises designed to limit competition.


So ladies and gentalmen, it appears that the Federal Reserve System is nothing more than a cartel.&


Oh, and just because I can't remember if I posted this in my earlier posts, I would like to point out that there are 8 shareholding banks in the Federal Reserve Corporation, and 4 of them are overseas.


Like ICE might say, "how do you like them apples?"
