NON-COMMERCIAL AMERICAN BANKING TREATY.

(COMMERCIAL means Unjust USURY in the Banking world of the DEAD.)


The People, as the Living Word of Just Banking; standing with International Treaty
Rights over the DEAD unjust commercial Banking Paper Fictions.
The Declaration of Independence (Usury Banking Independence)
This is really what the 4th of July was About – Just Banking.
In CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,
WHEN in the Course of human Events, it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the
Political Bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the
Earth, the separate and equal Station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them,
a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which
impel them to the Separation.
WE hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are
endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the
Pursuit of Happiness—That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men,
deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any Form of
Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it,
and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles and organizing its
Powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light
and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed
to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they
are accustomed. But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same
Object evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty,
to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security. Such has been
the patient Sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to
alter their former Systems of Government. The History of the present King of Great-Britain is a
history of repeated Injuries and Usurpations, all having in direct Object the Establishment of an
absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid World.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public Good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing Importance, unless
suspended in their Operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has
utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the Accommodation of large Districts of People,
unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a Right
inestimable to them and formidable to Tyrants only.
He has called together Legislative Bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from
the Depository of their public Records, for the sole Purpose of fatiguing them into Compliance with
his Measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly Firmness his
Invasions on the Rights of the People.
He has refused for a long Time, after such Dissolutions, to cause others to be elected;
whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for
their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the Dangers of Invasion from
without, and Convulsions within.
He has endeavored to prevent the Population of these States; for that Purpose obstructing the
Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their Migration hither,
and raising the Conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for
establishing Judiciary Powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the Tenure of their Offices, and the
Amount and Payment of their Salaries.
He has erected a Multitude of New Offices, and sent hither Swarms of Officers to harrass
our People, and eat out their Substance.
He has kept among us, in Times of Peace, Standing Armies, without the consent of our
Legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a Jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution, and
unacknowledged by our Laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For quartering large Bodies of Armed Troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from Punishment for any Murders which they should
commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the World:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many Cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offences:
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing
therein an arbitrary Government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an Example
and fit Instrument for introducing the same absolute Rule into these Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering
fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with Power to
legislate for us in all Cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War
against us.
He has plundered our Seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our Towns, and destroyed the Lives of
our People.
He is at this Time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the Works
of Death, Desolation and Tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty and Perfidy
scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous Ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized Nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against
their Country, to become the Executioners of their Friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by
their Hands.
He has excited domestic Insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the
Inhabitants of our Frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known Rule of Warfare, is an
undistinguished Destruction of all Ages, Sexes and Conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions we have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble
Terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated Injury. A Prince, whose
Character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the Ruler of a free
People.
Nor have we been wanting in Attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from
Time to Time of Attempts by their Legislature to extend an unwarrantable Jurisdiction over us. We
have reminded them of the Circumstances of our Emigration and Settlement here. We have
appealed to their native Justice and Magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the Ties of our
common Kindred to disavow these Usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our Connections
and Correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of Justice and of Consanguinity. We
must, therefore, acquiesce in the Necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we
hold the rest of Mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace, Friends.
WE, therefore, the Representatives of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, in GENERAL
CONGRESS, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the World for the Rectitude of our
Intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly
Publish and Declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent
States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political
connection between them and the State of Great-Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and
that as FREE AND INDEPENDENT STATES, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace,
contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which
INDEPENDENT STATES may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm
Reliance on the Protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our
Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
