Tony's Call Notes

TONY’S CALL – Wednesday, 12/31/14 – Notes by KH   (short call) 

Rates?  $3.58/Dinar,   $1.05/Dong or Rupiah,   $1.02/Rupiah or Dong, and $0.11/Zimbabwe

GOOD MORNING TNT!    [ Use the word:  EXCHANGE at the banks, NOT Cash Out !!!!]

This should be the last phone call we have this year. LOL!  I expect it to be the last phone call that we do it like this.  Might have time to give some strategies for the New Year.

DC: We expect it here on or before the 1st.  Iraq and US are geared up for this.

Iraq: They were publishing out numbers, diff. articles in the budget, justification for the RV has been made, and now in process of doing the economic increase.  Gazette is publishing this, also on news tonight and tomorrow. Abadi going around to diff. provinces and explaining why this is such a good deal, making this country better, solving corruption, etc.  Ministers meeting to wrap up everything.  All set and ready to go. All expecting this to go down on or before the 1st. 

Shabibi is being acknowledged as the architect behind this. 

RI and RV - RI= reinstatement, $3.22 plus some inflation of US dollar going down, pushing it to about $3.58 or so.  They are going to call this as an RI. Why? Easy marketing, easier sales job of Iraq reinstating their old currency rates.  Makes the political and legal process much more straight forward, making it harder for those trying to delay this, prevents people from doing stupid stuff.  This will go about the same time of the budget.

RV: Shabibi always wanted Iraq to have the highest currency in the region. There are two parties on that: 1. Large number of policy makers wanted to get on to the GCC – Gulf Currency Consortium.  All the diff. gov’ts in the area would get together with a euro-style currency system, better for trade, etc.  If those guys win out, they will try to do something about the $4.00 range.  This is Shabibi’s target. 

2. Because of the resistance in 2007-2008 with the euro, with so many countries like Greece, being screwed and causing the euro to lose face, they look at this as if it’s dangerous,

Shabibi thinks that Iraq deserves to be at $6.00 – $7.00.  This rate could happen in a couple of weeks, to a couple of years. The intent is to pull the speculator money out – like many of us, including DC, who will cash out immediately.

Then the treaties, and other gov’ts can be worked with – to play with the higher rates to entice other political actions in favor of Iraq.  CBI (Central Bank of Iraq) has a phenomenal amount of reserves.  Or Shabibi can just suck everything off of the market at quickly as possible, by buying everything off of the bottom, so that the rate rises up. It is his strong intent to raise this to the $6.-$7. rate.  Most believe that the GCC will not happen, so he wants the higher rates right away.

Tony: Shabibi is going  around the country, also talking to the people about the new gov’t, how they need to support the military.  ISIS – over 90% already removed and they need the people to support them.  The RV will be law when it goes into the Gazette which is Jan 1st.  The rate comes out at $3.58, a possibility that there could be a significant doubling of the rate, in a few weeks to a few years – for those who want to speculate more.

Think about 15- 30 days for the high rates. LOL.  They have been telling their people to have confidence in them.  We could see this go.  It could hit Forex in 10-15 days, where it could sky rocket and then go down.

All of that gives us confidence in Iraq to do this, it has been recorded, the votes and actions have been taken. They haven’t printed the Gazette yet, which is traditionally printed by noon.

DC: The Prime Minister has the capability of pushing the Gazette timing around a bit, which he is doing today. 

Tony: By waiting until the 11 pm news, almost all transactions today are completed at the old rate. If it is effective after midnight, people will be sleeping while the rate change happens. 

We are looking at this after 11 pm but before the business day gets started on Jan. 1st.    So this is giving us great confidence in Iraq.

DC: In the US, a bunch of very powerful people are pissed that this hasn’t happened yet. Some were slightly misled. They are highly frustrated with the US.

Everyone is prepared and ready for this to do. They are running skeleton crews now. 

Bank Roll Out Plan – Banks will handle customers as they can. We don’t know if Tony and I are going to be doing calls to help in the roll out process.  We hope so, to avoid more confusion. If the RV goes tonight/tomorrow, no one is going in until Jan. 2nd.  Slow roll out is their intent. 

Tony: They could just be taking appointments on the 2nd and 3rd and first coming in on Monday/Tuesday for their appointments. 

Tony: We are ready to go except for the people who wanted to close out by the end of the year.  They are getting what we have been getting all along.

Questions: 

Will the dong value go down by April, 2015, when my currency purchase will then be over 1 year old?  DC: They won’t allow this to go down, after it has just revalued, both Iraq and Vietnam. Your better strategy would be to wait until your long term tax rate is available.  I don’t see the rate going very far below the $3.58 for the dinar either. 

Puerto Rico? Where to exchange?  DC: All foreign banks that access to foreign currency accounts – it will be handled the same way, just an additional currency.

CBI Website change? DC: The CBI will do the last update to their system, update to the Central Bank systems, no one foresees an issue. Once this happens, they expect the website to be updated in a matter of minutes.

Forex:  DC: I don’t expect this to be on Forex for a minimum of 10-15 days.

DC: about 85,000 folks have already exchanged, via SKRs and some cash.

Will we still get the contract rate in 2015?  Tony: We made an arrangement where we will all get something, at least the $3.58.  They were going to exclude us all from exchanging, which we have forced them to change this back then, allowing all to exchange.  We have been learning a lot about strategies once the exchange happens, which is a good thing.  We’ll get ours, so we’re okay.

DC: Iraq been pushed to and have exceeded everyone’s expectations, so let’s get to work,and not make this about us.

Caller:559- What are the initials for the Zimbabwe currency?  DC: I don’t know for sure, maybe ZIM? 

DC: Still the banks are doing their own things, and we don’t know if we will be briefed on these banks or not.  WFB is still the main bank who will take everyone.

Tony: I am still wanting to do events if I can. I hope to do these a quickly as possible, before you all start spending your money.  I want to help with investment advice/info for you at these events.

Caller:718- Does the RI affect the GCR?  DC: We understand that the GCR will occur at the same time, which involves the other 4 currencies to adjust too. 

Caller:719- DC, when your demise happens, please leave some part of your brain to science because you are so smart!! LOL  DC: At Westminster Abbey, Darwin was buried upside down because they didn’t like HIS brain. LOL. And Tony, the other part of you that I want you to leave to science is your nerve!  LOL

Will either one of you hold a small amount back to see if it goes up?  DC: Not me.  Tony: No, I have a different strategy.

I used to work for the gov’t. Why would we take receipts to the bank and not hold them back?  DC: Some banks will want you to hold some money back for taxes and they will want to see your receipts to determine which monies should be held back for tax purposes.  DC: It’s hard for me to understand why they would do this because diff. folks have different tax ramifications with each family’s % of taxes based on their family, businesses, deductions, etc.  Hopefully some of the people will calm down, and it will all work itself out. 

C: If you give them 1 million dinar and they give you are receipt for this, showing that your account now has $3,580,000 in your account, that is proof that you deposited this much amount.

C: We have talked to several banks here in Colorado Springs and they say that you might as well go to Wells Fargo to exchange because other banks don’t have the Delarue Machines to prove that the currencies are not counterfeit.

Tony: Tax thing at the bank – clarification?  Absolutely in effect? DC: Some banks (each bank will handle their own thing), as part of their requirement, they say that they will take you if you put away your tax money up front, because they expect you to blow through your money too quickly.

Caller:609-  DC:  The best return on your investment is the ZIM.  Iraqi dinar is the safest return.  The 2nd Biggest return is the Dong.  The entire foundation of this is the Dinar RV.  Many years ago they added in these other currencies, which will greatly increase these countries’ value with their great economies expected.

Caller: 403- My friend who exchanged last November, will not contact me anymore, He just sent me a picture of a very expensive car in his driveway!  I guess he signed an NDA!!

Story:  I opened an account at WFB 2 weeks ago, put in the bare minimum.  A young lady asked if we would be putting more in there and I said Yes. She said is it going to be a lot, like $50,000 or more?  I smiled and nodded my head.  She got a smile on her face and said “it’s going to be quite a bit more?” 

DC: Regarding the Russian ruble, I wouldn’t touch it with a 3 foot pole!

Caller:562-  There is talk on the blogs of the 7th to the 10th of January for the RV, and you are talking today and tomorrow. Is this for the groups as opposed to the public?

DC:  I don’t get on the blogs. It could be some banks anticipate being fully prepared by that time.  Maybe that’s what they are hearing. In terms of an RV at that time, I haven’t heard that.

Tony: We are still expecting the RV sometime tonight or tomorrow and people going to the banks on Monday or Tuesday.  Still their intention was to get the Internet People (us) first and the rest of the world later.

Caller:405- Is there a limit of how much the banks will exchange, past the contract rate?  DC: There is only a limit to the contract rate.

Summary:

DC: Iraq is ready, quadruple checked everything. Dr. Shababi and his team have knocked it out and are ready. We expect the RV on or before the 1st. The US banks we expect them to be taking appointments on the 2nd and 3rd and going into the banks beginning of next week.   I hope everyone has a Happy and Very Prosperous New Year!!!

Pam: Thank you to the mods, the friends in Iraq, Lilly Ann in Holland, Italy, our agency people, our service people fighting for us right now who deserve so much. Thank you everyone!

Ray: Happy New Year everyone!

Tony: All info good. In Iraq they have been telling their people that it is effective on the 1st. The Gazette publishing was delayed today. We are that close and I am looking for a tremendous, tremendous New Year.

Be excited, enjoy your night, be responsible, Take care of your friends.

At New Years, say:  HAPPY NEW YEAR – LIFE BEGINS TODAY!!!!!

Happy New Years

Sheriff with a heart of gold treats boy, nine, to the hunting trip of a lifetime - after the boy mistakenly sent an adorable letter to the wrong state 

• Alex Collins, 9, wrote to Chester County Sheriff Alex Underwood about a hunting program for at-risk kids
• Alex lives in Chester County, Pennsylvania, and Underwood is sheriff of Chester County, South Carolina
• Donors paid for Alex to fly to South Carolina for a hunting trip with Sheriff Underwood 

A 9-year-old Pennsylvania got the hunting trip of a lifetime after mistakenly writing to writing to a sheriff 600 miles away in South Carolina. 

Alex Collins' mother saw a Facebook post by Chester County Sheriff Alex Underwood's program to take small children hunting and fishing and little Alex wrote the sheriff a heartfelt letter. 

He explained that he desperately wanted to learn to hunt, but he didn't have anybody to teach him.

His mother hand-delivered it to the Chester County Sheriff's Department. 

But there was a problem: Sheriff Underwood is in Chester County, South Carolina. Alex Collins lives in Chester County, Pennsylvania. 

As luck would have it, the Pennsylvania sheriff, Carolyn Bunny Welsh, knows Sheriff Underwood and she forwarded him little Alex's letter.

Sheriff Underwood responded: 'If you can get him here, we'll take him hunting,' WBTV reports.

UTAH TO SEIZE OWN LAND FROM 'FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'

Utah to seize own land from ‘government,’ challenge federal dominance of Western states

‘Transfer of Public Lands Act’ demands Washington relinquish 31.2 million acres by Dec. 31

By Valerie Richardson - The Washington Times - Wednesday, December 3, 2014

In three weeks, Utah intends to seize control of 31.2 million acres of its own land now under the control of the federal government. At least, that's the plan.

In an unprecedented challenge to federal dominance of Western state lands, Utah Gov. Gary Herbert in 2012 signed the "Transfer of Public Lands Act," which demands that Washington relinquish its hold on the land, which represents more than half of the state's 54.3 million acres, by Dec. 31.

So far, however, the federal government hasn't given any indication that it plans to cooperate. Still, state Rep. Ken Ivory, who sponsored the legislation, isn't deterred.

"That's what you do any time you're negotiating with a partner. You set a date," said Mr. Ivory. "Unfortunately, our federal partner has decided they don't want to negotiate in good faith. So we'll move forward with the four-step plan that the governor laid out."

In other words, there won't be any escorting of federal officials by state troopers to the eastern border. Instead, he said, state officials will proceed with a program of education, negotiation, legislation and litigation.

"We're going to move forward and use all the resources at our disposal," said Mr. Ivory, who also heads the American Lands Council, which advocates the relinquishing of federal lands to the control of the states.

With the 2012 law, Utah placed itself on the cutting edge of the heated debate over public lands in the West. The federal government controls more than 50 percent of the land west of Kansas — in Utah's case, it's 64.5 percent, a situation that has increasingly resulted in tensions across the Rocky Mountain West.

Those in favor of the state taking control of federal lands were buoyed by a report Monday that concluded the idea was financially feasible. Entitled "An Analysis of a Transfer of Federal Lands to the State of Utah," the 784-page analysis found that Utah was capable of managing that property, now under the control of the Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service.

"I expect that public discussion will be well served by this report. It shows the complexities and connections between Utah's robust economy and the great quality of life Utahans enjoy," Mr. Herbert said in a statement.

The report, conducted over 18 months by analysts at three state universities, found that Utah would incur an additional $280 million in costs to manage the lands, but would bring in some $331.7 million in royalties from mineral resources development, mainly oil and gas. Currently Utah receives only half the royalties from drilling that is allowed on federal lands inside its borders.

The study also found that while small amounts of federal ownership could stimulate economic growth in counties, such management becomes a "drag" on most counties after they reach 40 percent to 45 percent ownership, adding that, "twenty of Utah's 29 counties exceed this threshold."

"The findings of this report confirm that the state is more than capable of taking on the management of these lands," said Rep. Rob Bishop, Utah Republican, in a statement. "This data will be a helpful resource as we continue to work toward resolving some of the biggest challenges facing public lands policy in the state."

Green opposition

On the other side of the debate is the environmental movement, led by the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, which argues that transferring federal lands to state control "makes it harder to protect Utah's wild lands for all Americans." Washington, environmentalists argue, is a better steward of Utah's natural riches than Salt Lake City.

Staff attorney David Garbett argues that the report shows Utah would be unable to afford managing the federal lands without selling them or subjecting them to heavy development.

"When will the legislature realize that the public does not want to see the Wasatch Mountains barricaded with 'No Trespassing' signs, the Book Cliffs lost to tar sand strip mines or Arches National Park ringed with oil and gas development?" he said in a statement.

The group launched a radio and television campaign this week aimed at drumming up opposition to the plan, describing it as a "land grab." The ads allege that managing the lands would be so costly that Utah would be forced to sell or lease them to private developers.

"But that means Utahans would lose access to the lands that formed our heritage," says the television ad, which shows people fishing and horseback riding. "Seizing public lands: A bad idea we can't afford."

Mr. Ivory dismissed the attacks as "fear tactics," pointing out that the law includes only lands designated for multiple use — in other words, economic development — and not national parks or national monuments.

"They're trying to get people to think that the sky is falling, and it's just not," Mr. Ivory said. "In fact, Utah passed the only state wilderness act so that, as the lands are transferred, we designate the unique heritage sites as state wilderness to be protected under the guidelines the state establishes."

He pointed to the report, which he says shows "clearly Utah can afford to do this without selling off any land. None of that is contemplated."

"These are tactics by those who just want to keep making money by suing the federal government," Mr. Ivory said, referring to environmental groups.

He pointed out that transferring federal lands to state control has the support of the American Farm Bureau, the National Association of Counties and the Republican National Committee. A half-dozen Western states are expected to consider similar proposals in next year's legislative session, while bills have been introduced in Congress to support the idea.

Former Interior Secretary Ken Salazar slammed the Utah legislation in 2012, saying it "defied common sense," and accused lawmakers of playing politics.

As far as Mr. Ivory is concerned, however, shifting management to the states would be far preferable than keeping the lands under the increasingly tight control of the federal government.

"Under increasing federal control, access is being restricted. The health of the land is diminishing horribly. And the productivity is depressed," Mr. Ivory said. "This is the only way to get better access, better health and better productivity."

UTAH SHOWDOWN WITH THE FEDS AS DEC 31 DEADLINE APPROACHES FOR STATE

TO RECLAIM ITS' LAND

Daniel Barker Dec. 27, 2014 (NaturalNews)

An impending showdown between Utah and the federal government may set a precedent affecting future disputes regarding state vs. federal land ownership.

In 2012, Governor Gary Herbert formally challenged the feds over the right to control 31.2 million acres of Utah land when he signed the "Transfer of Public Lands Act." One of the provisions of the act demands that the federal government turn over the lands by December 31, 2014.

At this point, the feds haven't responded and it remains unclear exactly what will happen as the deadline approaches. The lands in question account for more than 64 percent of Utah's total acreage.

Federal government controls over half of western lands. The federal government controls more than half of the land in the West and many states are beginning to challenge its continued right to do so.

Utah, however, has pushed the debate to a new level and the case may end up before the Supreme Court.  Utah State Representative Ken Ivory, sponsor of the legislation, said: Under increasing federal control, access is being restricted. The health of the land is diminishing horribly. And the productivity is depressed. This is the only way to get better access, better health and better productivity.

Feds reneged on terms of 1894 Enabling Act......

When Utah was becoming a state, the federal government passed "The 1894 Enabling Act," which gave it control over the majority of the land, while promising to eventually return it to the state. In exchange, the feds would use the revenues from managing the land to fund Utah's public education system. 

Essentially, the feds reneged on the original deal and engaged in what many see as a massive land-grab, one in which the land has been ineffectively managed, while educational infrastructure investment has remained paltry. Utah ranks among the lowest states in terms of school funding. If there's no response by the end of December, the state plans to move ahead with its program of "education, negotiation, legislation and litigation."

Showdown more likely in courtroom than Bryce Canyon

Although there won't likely be any armed showdowns between state and federal agents in Utah, it should be interesting to see how far the litigation goes. Utah has taken a bold step which may prove to be an example for other states considering similar legislation. 

Advocates of the Utah challenge against the feds were encouraged by the recent release of a report entitled "An Analysis of a Transfer of Federal Lands to the State of Utah," the findings of which indicated that the plan would pay off economically for the state. The analysis suggested that the state would be able to bring in enough income from managing the land itself to more than cover the costs of doing so. Mineral resources development could bring in more than $330 million - roughly $50 million more than the cost of management. The report also found that federal control of large percentages of land results in an economic "drag" on local communities - most counties in Utah exceed what the authors consider the healthy limit of around 40 to 45 percent federally controlled land. 

Governor Herbert's responded to the report saying, "I expect that public discussion will be well served by this report. It shows the complexities and connections between Utah's robust economy and the great quality of life Utahans enjoy.  

Other Western states, as well as various interest groups, will likely be paying very close attention to the results of the precedent being set in Utah.  

One faction in opposition to the legislation is the environmentalist movement, which sees the relinquishment of federal control as a potential threat to Utah's natural resources. Green activists worry that state control will lead to expanded gas and oil development in wild areas, while the legislation's defenders are promising that won't be the case. If Utah is successful in gaining control over the disputed lands, it remains to be seen if it can manage the responsibility in a way that benefits the state's citizens while preserving its precious wilderness areas. 

REMEMBER THAT THE FED (BANKER CROOKS) HAVE TURNED A LOT OF STATE LAND OVER TO THE U.N...... i.e., AMONG OTHERS, OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK IN WA STATE....

**************************************************************************

      ==============  LAND PATENTS  ==============

In America today people think they own their land but, unless they have the Land Patent on the land, they do not own it. The articles below are an introduction to Land Patents and how to obtain one.

Do You Own Your Land?

When an American fulfills the requirements to obtain a "Land Patent", the patent is assigned by and under the hand and seal of the President of the United States under Act of Congress.

Fictitious entities, like trusts, corporations, etc. cannot obtain land patents except by express act of congress. An example of congress granting land through patents to fictitious entities is the railroad grants made to compensate the railroads for building railroads across America.

The Land Patent is the only form of perfect title to land available in the United States. Wilcox v. Jackson, 13 PET (U.S.) 498 10 L.Ed. 264

In America today people think they own their land, but unless they have the Land Patent on the land, they do not own it. Most people today obtain "Real Estate" by contract, and then on fulfillment of the contract they transfer control of land by "Warranty Deed".

The "Warranty Deed" is merely a "color of title". Color of Title means: "That which is a semblance or appearance of title, but not title in fact or in law." Howth v. Farrar, C.C.A Tex., 94 F.2d 654, 658; McCoy v. Lowrie, 42 Wash.2d 24, Black's Law Sixth Ed.

The Warranty Deed cannot stand against the Land Patent. "A grant of land (Land Patent) is a public law standing on the statue books of the State, and is notice to every subsequent purchaser under any conflicting sale made afterward." Wineman v. Gastrell, 54 FED 819, 2 IS Ap. 581

The Land Patent is permanent and cannot be changed by the government after its issuance.

”Where the United States has parted with title by a patent legally issued, and upon surveys made by itself and approved by the proper department, the title so granted cannot be impaired by any subsequent survey made by the government for its own purposes." Cage v. Danks, 13 LA.ANN 128

In the history of this Country, no Land Patent has ever lost an appellate review in the courts. As a matter of fact, in Summa Corp. v California (466 U.S. 198), the Supreme Court ruled forever that the Land Patent would always win over any other form of title. In that case the land in question was tidewater land and California's claim was based on California's constitutional right to all tidewater lands.

The patent stood supreme even against California's Constitution.

Land cannot be taken for debt or taxes, but Real Estate can be taken.

What is Real Estate? It's a document that lays over the land in color of title. It is proper only when no real title to the land exists. Banks and corporations like Real Estate because they can own it without an Act of Congress. They and others can use the fiction of title to seize land under the color of law.

They've taken their colors of title into the courts for so long that the people (under three generations of deception and ignorance) simply allow them to go ahead. We had forgotten about land patents. For that cause when you go into a court today with a real property title case (a Land Patent case), chances are  the judge and any attorneys involved won't know what a Land Patent is.

The first court you run into that understands the power of a Land Patent may be a U.S. Circuit court of Appeals, and in the history of this nation there has never been an appellate case where a properly set Land Patent has ever lost there.

If you ever have the occasion to have to defend your right to your land in court, and someone else presents a proof of land patent on your land, you'll loose your land. If you haven't brought your land patent up in your name, you may be abandoning your right to your land and any prior owner with lawful right to the land patent could bring the land patent up and evict you off from the land you thought was yours, and you'll have to leave.

Now, let's suppose you have your Land Patent properly secured and, for some reason, you have to defend your right to the land. If you understand the patent and how it works, you'll defend it successfully.

So again, here's how it works: What do you do?

The Land came to the nation by treaty or war prize. The government only had limited ability to own land as before mentioned.  All of the remainder of the land was held in the sole disposition of the United States until it was granted under act of Congress by the hand and seal of the President to some person. Then, in that same act, the President makes the Grant Patent which means that the Land came to the nation by treaty and the patent assigns a specific part of that treaty to you and your heirs and assigns forever.

So your land comes to you from the treaty through your Land Patent. This is critical. The Land Patent secures the treaty to you.

The Court is bound by the supremacy clause of the Constitution to uphold the treaty making your Patent a statutory limitation throughout the land. Wineman v. Gastrell 54 FED 819, 2 U.S. App. 581.

If you ever have to defend your right to the Patent, here's how.

Get a full abstract on your land.  The Abstract will show the assignment on the land and patent from the patent to you. Each record of the Abstract is a matter of public record well established over time. If your right to the land was well secured (Warranty Deed) and you have properly brought up your Land Patent, you'll win - if you're prepared .

Land Patents - Understanding how they work

There's been much talked about in relation to Land Patents lately. As far as most of that talk goes, I'm glad people are talking about them. It's about time. The problem with patents is - ignorance.

Some say, "The only bad news is no news."

It seems that most of the people in our nation today either have no idea what a Land Patent is, or they think it’s a good way to swindle or otherwise avoid paying a bank or the IRS out of some amount of funds. And, they think that they own their land because ‘they paid for it’ and ‘they have a Warranty Deed.’

Though its true, "Land, protected by Land Patent, can't lawfully be seized for debt or taxes." Therefore, no mortgage or tax liability can stand against a Land Patent. It's still wrong to make an agreement or obligation and then hide from that agreement or obligation by any means. An honorable person just plain won't do it.

We live in a nation that hasn't had elections in its central government since before 1944. The States individually stopped electing government officials at least by 1968. The main cause of that was electors were either ignorant of their responsibilities or part of the national takeover. The main cause of that was the people forgot about their abstracts and Land Patents and accepted Title Insurance instead. (An abstract is a document that contains all of the transfer documents used to assign Title to Land from the Patent to the present.)

Some people will tell you that land patents don't work. What that means is they don't know how land ownership works. They speak from ignorance. For those who have tried land patents unsuccessfully, the cause of their lack of success is - ignorance. It's time to put that ignorance to rest.

Think about it.  Where did the land within the United States of America come from?

It came from: England, France, Spain, Mexico, Russia, Hawaii,and from the Native American Indians.

How did the United States acquire the land?

By purchase, like with Manhattan Island, the Louisiana Purchase and Alaska;

By war power, like with Hawaii and much of the Native American Indian lands;

By Treaty, like The Northwest Territories Treaty, The Guadeloupe Hidalgo Treaty, and

By treaty as the end result of war like the original war for independence from England.

The end result - regardless of how the land was acquired - a Treaty was ultimately designed whereby the land was resolved and reserved for the proper possession and individual ownership of the people of the United States of America. Security in land rights was, and is, found within the Treaty.

Once land was acquired in the nation, it was held by the United States until someone proved their claim to it. Once the land was properly claimed and filed, the General Land Office certified that the surveys were paid for. According to the various land acts of Congress, the land was then made patent under the signature and seal of the President of the United States of America.

When a State enters the Union of the United States of America, an Enabling Act is agreed to. The Enabling Act requires that all of the unappropriated (unpatented) lands be forever granted to the Union for disposition. For example, here is a segment from Colorados Enabling Act:

"That the people inhabiting said territory do agree and declare that they forever disclaim all right and title to the unappropriated public lands lying within said territory, and that the same shall be and remain at the sole and entire disposition of the United States". Enabling Act of Colorado

Without such transfer of control over the right and title to the land, there would be no effective authority in a land patent sealed under the signature of the President. For example, with few exceptions, U. S. of A. land patents have no authority in the Republic of Texas because Texas never ceded its lands to the United States.

Notice the net effect of these Enabling Acts in relation to state taxes and state statutes:

After exclusive jurisdiction over lands within a State have been ceded to the United States, private property located thereon is not subject to taxation by the State, nor can state statutes enacted subsequent to the transfer have any operation therein. Surplus Trading Company v. Cook, 281 U.S. 647; Western Union Telegraph Co. v. Chiles, 214 U.S. 274;

Arlington Hotel v. Fant, 278 U.S. 439; Pacific Coast Dairy v. Department of Agriculture, 318 U.S. 285

Every State within the Union of States (with the exception of the Republic of Texas) granted their unappropriated lands to the United States as a condition of statehood. Then as people acquired land, under various acts of Congress the President signed the patents securing the patented rights to the patent holders and their heirs and assigns forever.

There are many more cases where the United States Supreme Court has supported the fact that the Land Patent certifies absolute and supreme title to land. There are no cases where the courts ever ruled against the properly obtained Land Patent.

Summa Corp. v. California (466 U.S. 198), is not listed above, yet it is one of the best cites describing how land patents work. In that 1980s case the court noted that they had ruled and ruled and ruled and they were not going to rule again, the Land Patent is supreme title to land. The case was one where California was granted the tidewater lands in the California Republic Constitution and therefore California went after a family’s land, which land was secured under patent on an old Spanish Land Grant. The case doesn’t talk much about land patents. It talks about the Guadeloupe Hidalgo Treaty. Imagine that, a land patent case that speaks mostly about the supremacy clause of the Constitution, which clause states that Treaties are supreme law.

Here’s how land patents work:

The Land was originally acquired within the United States of America by some Treaty.

Your Land Patent secures the rights of the Treaty upon which the land was originally acquired within the territories of the United States from the Treaty to the individual person named on the patent.

The patent specifically grants the described lands to the party named on the patent and to their heirs and their assigns forever.

The party named on the patent then passes the inheritance, grants, or assigns the patented lands to someone else, which assignee is now named on the patent by that assignment. The documents that demonstrate such an assignment are often called, "Deeds".

Because the granter can not compel you to accept the assignment it is necessary for you to take some action to signify your acceptance of the assignment. For this reason we use the "Declaration of Land Patent".

Once you have accepted the proper assignment of the Land Patent and you bring it forward by your authoritative declaration, you are named on the physical Land Patent where it says, "and to his heir and assigns forever".

It doesn’t matter how many times the land is reassigned. The patent by its own creation lasts "forever" and belongs to the named party "and to their heirs and assigns forever".

Steps To Secure A Land Patent Claim

To prevent someone from evicting you off from the land you thought you owned, you need to create documents to declare and secure your Land Patent. The following instructions are the steps to create the Land Patent Claim. We do not give legal advice, so we present these instructions for your edification as educational materials only in hope that you will prepare yourself to stand, as our forefathers did, and as the founding fathers of this nation did, with your land, liberty, and rights intact. Now, because you can, lets do it:

1 You must have a true right to the land, i.e.: Warranty Deed, a well supported Quitclaim Deed, documented Assignment, Inheritance, etc..

2 Find the land description on your right to the land and get it into land patent format. Land descriptions on Land Patents are almost all recorded in Section, Township, and Range format (hereafter "STRf"). If the legal description of your land on your right to the land documents (hereafter "Warranty Deed") is not in STRf, then you need to get it into that format for your Land Patent Claim documents. To do that you need to trace the legal description on your Warranty Deed back to STRf. For example, if your Deed says, "Lot 3 of the Bryerton Subdivision as recorded in the Dexter County Land Records", then you go to the Dexter County Clerk and Recorders office and find the Subdivisions plat map. Find your lot and locate the Section, Township, and Range that includes your lot. Get a copy of the County plat map of the subdivision your land is located in; youll especially need the part that legally describes the land. That part is called: "the legal", and it almost always lists the Land description in STRf. While you’re there it wont hurt to get a couple certified copies of your Warranty Deed from their records.

3 With the description of your Land in STRf, you’re ready to go acquire a copy of the appropriate Land Patent for your Land. This is done by taking the legal description of your Land, in STRf, to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and asking them (in their Land Patent records office) for a Certified copy of the Land Patent for the land represented by your Land description including, Section, Township, and Range. It’s a good idea to get at least two certified copies of the appropriate Patent and a copy of the "Patent Plat map" for the particular Township your land is in.

4 Now that you have certified copies of your Land Patent and certified copies and or originals of your Warranty Deed you’re ready to prepare two very important documents to complete your Patent Claim. The new documents are the "Quitclaim Deed" and the "Declaration of Land Patent". When those documents are finished, you’ll be ready to compile your completed Land Patent Claim in the form of what we call a "Land Patent Sandwich." The Land Patent sandwich is a single document compiled of several documents listed top to bottom:

On top, the "Quitclaim Deed"

Your right to the land, i.e. Warranty Deed, Grant Deed, Quitclaim Deed, etc.

a) This document will not be a Trust Deed. If you have, a Trust Deed, and you’ve decided to follow these instructions, you may contact AWARE for additional help, (864) 246-1303.

b) If this document is a Quitclaim Deed, you’ll need to place the underlying authority (Warranty Deed) that passed the authority of the land to you under your Quitclaim Deed.

The "Declaration of Land Patent"

The Land Patent itself goes on the bottom.

The bottom to top order is very important! So start on an empty table and set the Land Patent down on the bottom of what will become the Land Patent Sandwich. Next comes "Declaration of Land patent", which needs some preparation work done first so move on to the next step.

Take one of the forms "Declaration of Land Patent" and complete it as follows:

First, generate the proper legal land description for your land by merging any lot/subdivision descriptions with the Section, Township, and Range descriptions from the County plat maps of your subdivision and enter the properly merged land description into the space provided for it on the "Declaration of Land Patent".

Next, complete the remainder of the "Declaration of Land Patent" by filling in the blanks from the top: fill in your name as the person requesting the recording (use proper name format) fill in your name in the "Name & Address" space, fill in your mailing location, fill in the city, state and the Post Offices zip code in the blanks, fill in the Patent number in the space provided on the first line after "That," fill in your name, you may cross out the inappropriate personal pronoun from "I/we", and the "(s)", if necessary, the proper merged legal land description should already be entered from the previous instruction.

Do this step later, after you have compiled your Land Patent Sandwich: go to a Notary Public, and fill out the remainder of the document there, just fill in the blanks as suggested on the guide sheet.

Now, place your "Declaration of Land Patent" on top of the Certified Land Patent as a part of the Land Patent Sandwich.

Place your Warranty Deed on top of the finished copyrighted "Declaration of Land Patent" as a part of the Land Patent Sandwich.

Take one of the forms "Quitclaim Deed" and complete it as follows:

First, place the land description you generated for the "Declaration of Land Patent" into the space provided for it on the "Quitclaim Deed".

Next, complete the remainder of the "Quitclaim Deed" by filling in the blanks from the top:

· fill in your name as the person requesting the recording (use proper name format);

· fill in your name in the space just below, "AND WHEN RECORDED MAIL TO:";

· fill in your mailing location, city, state and the Post Offices zip code blanks;

· fill in your name on the second line of the Deed after, "I/We," and again on the fifth line after, "and forever quitclaim to:" you may cross out the inappropriate personal pronoun from "I/We", if necessary

· from your certified copy of your Land Patent, find the name of the person to whom it was originally issued and enter that persons name after "as assignees of" on the second line;

· fill in the patent number in the space provided after "Number" on the third line;

· fill in the county and state names on the ninth line;

· the proper merged legal land description should already be entered from the previous instruction;

· fill in the date you are filling out this form in the next to last line after, "Done and dated:";

· fill in the date the Warranty Deed was issued on;

· wait to sign the "Quitclaim Deed" in front of a Notary Public; and, enter your name as "owner" in the blank before the word "Owner.

Do this step later, after you have compiled your Land Patent Sandwich: go to a Notary Public, and fill out the remainder of the document there, just fill in the blanks as suggested on the guide sheet.

Now, place your "Quitclaim Deed" on top of your Warranty Deed as a part of the Land Patent Sandwich. With that, your Land Patent Sandwich is completed.

Make sure that all four key elements of your Land Patent Sandwich are in their proper place. The order is critical! The documents are in order of authority.

Understanding how the sandwich works: On the bottom of the sandwich, you have the highest authority of land title, the certified copy of your Land Patent. Its own words declare that the land belongs (fee simple) to the party named on the patent and to their heirs and assigns forever. The patent is yours by right of assignment or inheritance so the next document is your Declaration of Land Patent.

Your right to claim the land by declaration is your assignment on the land, which assignment is found within your Warranty Deed (where the deed says "grants" and/or "assigns"). Therefore, a certified copy of your Warranty Deed is the third document on the pile.

The top document is your Quitclaim Deed, which moves your land out of equity (fairness to the contract) and into law (fact in fee simple). This Quitclaim Deed is likely the most important part of the entire sandwich-it completes the move out of the statutory and contract control and into the law of the Land. The Land Patent Sandwich is one inseparable document.

Staple a copy of the Land Patent Sandwich together and you’re done. Making two copies is better, one for filing and one to keep secure for yourself.

Go to the Notary Public with both copies and complete the signatures, dates, etc..

You need not publicly file any records of your Land Patent; however, most people prefer to protect themselves with public filing. There are several methods of public filing you may use. They are as follows:

File it in the Clerk and Recorders office with the land records of the county.

Make public notice that you brought the patent up in your name in the legal notices in a local newspaper.

Post the Land Patent Sandwich on the County’s public notice bulletin board (usually found at either the County (district) Courthouse or at the Sheriffs office). Post Office bulletin boards would also be sufficient.

As stated before in these instructions, once a Land Patent is the operating authority on the land, the Land cannot be taken for debt or taxes. For this reason some people don’t want to record the patent in the county records (no one can lawfully seize patented lands to secure a debt). They are concerned that anyone wanting to obtain a loan wont be able to find a bank that will loan them money. Others want to file the patent in the county records because they are going to be fighting off a foreclosure or a tax seizure and they want the solid public record.  Land Patent

In the history of this county, no Land Patent has ever lost an appellate review in the courts. As a matter of fact, in Summa Corp. v California (466 U.S. 198 ) the Supreme Court ruled forever that the Land Patent would always win over any other form of title. In that case the land in question was tidewater land and California's claim was based on California's constitutional right to all tidewater lands. The patent stood supreme even against California's Constitution.

Land cannot be taken for debt or taxes, but Real Estate can be taken.
