The Big One - 20 years of work filed in your behalf


by Anna Von Reitz


Yesterday I filed the Big One, the Summation of over twenty (20) years work in behalf of the actual American states owed the land jurisdiction of this country and the living people of the 50 States United. Of course, with something this long in the making, there is a lot of remembering involved and a lot of focus required, so forgive me if I am brief with this announcement. I am very tired.
We, the living American People who claim our birthright political standing as American State Nationals---- Texans, Virginians, Ohioans, Wisconsinites, and so on--- and who have moved back to the land jurisdiction of our native land, are the beneficiaries of our estates.  Those who additionally act as Fiduciaries in behalf of our states on the land are American State Citizens, obligated by oath and honor to act in the best interests of all and to meet The Prudent Man Standard in all those actions we undertake.
For many who have grown up listening to a constant litany of "National Debt" news, it may come as a great surprise to learn that you are, as American State Nationals, not in debt.  You are by far the richest people on Earth.
In fact, you and your States are the Priority Creditors of the entire world. 
The debt that the rest of the world has owed us has been so insurmountable that it has served to quash business and growth, spawned a huge black market in counterfeit currencies and "derivatives", and caused unnecessary suffering that needs to end.  So, in our own right and in your names, we've have moved to end it. 
As your servants and as "Prudent Men" we have requested a worldwide accounting and set off of debts, meaning that our debts to other nations are to be set off against their debts to us.  What remains as "insurmountable debt" owing will be forgiven---written off, so that everyone can have a clean start. 
This is being done to regenerate hope and economic freedom and to prevent any necessity of war or undue suffering.  It is well-within our ability and in our best interests to do this.
Our fortunes are so vast that it doesn't even matter.
We are the beneficiaries of approximately 185,000 of the richest corporations on Earth, approximately 10,000 state of, county of, and municipal corporations in this country, and corporations like CANADA and AUSTRALIA that "own" entire countries, together with all their corporations under them. 
Quite literally, we little pea-pickers and Indians have inherited the Earth. 
Now what to do with it?  For starters, everyone needs a living stipend to make life possible for many in the Third World and make it bearable for others, even here in America.  So our proposal is that every man, woman, and child receive an individual payment equivalent in local currency to $2000 per month as an independent living stipend on top of whatever other income they may have.
This will end abject poverty throughout the world and make life bearable for many who are now suffering needlessly.
We have also proposed that each one receive the equivalent in local currency of $1000 per month in a savings/investment account that they can use to invest for their own future. 
These funds are directed to be paid individually with no strings, no middlemen, no governments involved.  Just a straight one-to-one transaction from the World Heritage Fund and the World Investment Fund to each one of you.
For many this will all just be pleasant "extra", but for others it is the difference between life and death, starvation and a good future.
There will also be plenty of money for infrastructure investments, for re-booting the government we are owed, and for all the tasks which face this planet and our nation among all the nations of the world.
Britain, France, and other nations have tried to obscure the truth of the American States and mischaracterize and misrepresent and fool the American People, so as to set up a false claim that we all "voluntarily" chose to serve as "United States Citizens" or "citizens of the United States" and that our States of the Union were "civilly dead"----- but as we and everyone else now knows, that is nothing but a self-interested lie promoted by foreign interests seeking to avoid their own debts and hoping to come in as Secondary Creditors and bring false claims of "abandonment" in commerce.
Those actions have been forestalled by the fifty (50) State Liens recorded as Non-UCC liens and by two subsequent actions which collect the National Debt and re-convey the assets of the actual States to the land jurisdiction. 
It's done.  It's over.  It's on the record. 
Much too everyone's surprise, the Sleeping Giant woke up at its own funeral and yawned and said, "Fie, fei, foe, fum!" 
Get your motors running.  Inform the Vatican.  Inform the Kremlin.  Inform Beijing. The Republic States are alive and well and so are the American People. 
Contrary to what you've been told, we are not the "United States".  We don't have a $19 trillion-plus National Debt. 
We have a $19 trillion-plus National Credit.  And that's not all. 
We are the majority shareholders in virtually everything big enough to spit at from here to Damascus. We are owed 150 years worth of back rent, the entirety of the 1930's bankruptcy fraud, and so much more.......that at the end of the day, the only real question is---- can we all imagine a better world? 

A much, much better world?

France: America, Do Not Make The Same Mistake We Made


Major Political Leader In France Makes This Declaration To The United States: ‘There Is Going To Be A Civil War In France, Between The French And The Muslims. America, Do Not Make The Same Mistake We Made.’



A major political leader in France, Francois-Xavier Peron, has declared that France is about to enter into a civil war, between French and Muslim. 

We spoke with Francois-Xavier about this, and also about the subject of a Christian France and how it is the Faith that is the only thing that can save France from evil.

He also made a warning to the United States, to not make the mistake France made, in its acceptance of religious freedom for Islam and Freemasonry.  

Here is the video:
 

 

That a civil war will break out in France is in accordance to a Catholic prophecy by the Ecstatic of Tours, a nun from Tours, whose prophecies were published in 1882 in a book titled On the Eve of the Victory of Christ:
Before the war breaks out again, food will be scarce and expensive.  There will be little work for the workers, and fathers will hear their children crying for food.  There will be earthquakes and signs in the sun.  Towards the end, darkness will cover the earth.

When everyone believes that peace is assured, when everyone least expects it, the great happenings will begin.  Revolution will break out in Italy almost at the same time as in France.  For some time, the Church will be without a Pope.  England, too, will have much to suffer.
The revolution will spread to every French town.  Wholesale slaughter will take place. This revolution will last only a few months but it will be frightful.  Blood will flow everywhere because the malice of the wicked will reach its highest pitch. Victims will be innumerable.  Paris will look like a slaughter-house. Persecutions against the Church will be even greater, but it will not last long…

McCarran-Walter Act of 1952


Wouldn't it be interesting if, at some point during his Presidential campaign, Donald Trump asked, has anyone in Washington DC ever heard of the McCarran-Walter Act Of 1952?


Here are the historic facts that would seem to indicate that many, if not most, of the people we elect to work for us in Washington DC do not have the slightest idea of what laws already exist in OUR country.


After several terrorist incidents were carried out in the United States, Donald Trump was severely criticized for suggesting that the U.S. should limit or temporarily suspend the immigration of certain ethnic groups, nationalities, and even people of certain religions (Muslims).

The criticisms condemned such a suggestion as, among other things, being Un-American, dumb, stupid, reckless, dangerous and racist.

Congressmen and Senators swore that they would never allow such legislation, and our illustrious President called such a prohibition on immigration     unconstitutional.

As Gomer Pyle would say, “Well, Surprise, Surprise!” It seems that the selective immigration ban is already law and has been applied on several occasions.

Known as the McCarran-Walter Act, the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 allows for the "Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by the President, whenever the President finds that the entry of aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States.

The President may, by proclamation, and for such a period as he shall deem necessary,  suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or non-immigrants, or impose any restrictions on the entry of aliens he may deem to be appropriate."

And who do you suppose last utilized this process?

Why it was Democrat President Jimmy Carter no less than 37 years ago, in 1979, to keep Iranians out of the United States.

But he actually did more.

He made ALL Iranian students, already in the United States, check in with the government. And then he deported a bunch of them.

Seven thousand were found in violation of their visas, and a total of 15,000 Iranians were forced to leave the USA in 1979.

So, what say you about all of the criticism that Donald Trump received from the Democrat Senators, Representatives and the Obama Administration?

an “applicant for immigration must be of good moral character and in agreement with the principles of our Constitution.”  Additionally, it is important to note that the McCarran-Walter Act also requires that

Therefore, one could surmise that since the Quran forbids Muslims to swear allegiance to the U.S. Constitution, technically ALL Muslins should be refused immigration to OUR country.

The 'federal government' and the pentagon are aggressively against Christians


Lt. Col. Maginnis: The Obama Administration 'Is Aggressively Against Christians' -- 'Demonic Forces' In Washington, DC



By Michael W. Chapman
September 23, 2016 | 12:23 PM EDT 

Army Lt. Col. Robert Maginnis (ret.), the senior fellow for national security at the Family Research Council, said Christianity is under attack in the Pentagon and the Obama administration is "aggressively against Christians." He added that there are "demonic forces" at play in the government, and that he has met people described as "witches" who profess they are advising "the senior leadership of the country."
 

On the Sept. 22 edition of The Jim Bakker Show, the host asked Lt. Col. Maginnis :  “The very thing that Jesus said would happen in the Last Days, that we, because we serve God, we would be attacked, we would be hated for the name of Christ’s sake. It seems like our nation is kinder to other faiths and Christianity is being put down further and further and further. Are you allowed to talk about that?”

Maginnis said, “Of course, and we find it in the 'federal government' in a terrible way. Certainly in the Pentagon where we find the persecution of Christians openly expressing their love for Christ. Christian meetings are often denigrated."  "We find that broadly, more so under this administration than ever before," said Maginnis. "I’ve been in the 'government' off and on for almost five decades, so I’ve seen how other governments have functioned. This one is aggressively against Christians. And it’s because, I think, the man in the Oval Office expresses an opinion, which his proxies are expressing across the entire bureaucracy."

Host Jim Bakker then asked, “Are the leaders afraid of the power of the Gospel? Why do they want to put the Gospel down now?”

“I suspect the motivation is, in fact, evil," said Maginnis.  "I know from having been in Washington for many years – my mother worked in Washington and in the White House for awhile many years ago -- I know that there’s demonic forces in that city." "I have personally met people that refer to themselves as witches, people that say they advise the senior leadership of the country," he said.  "We invite within the 'federal government' people to advise us and often some of those advisers, I think, have evil motivations, things that you and I would not approve of.”

Lt. Col. Robert Maginnis (ret.), 66, is married and has two children. He is a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy, West Point, and the Naval Postgraduate School.

Every Single Terrorist Attack In US Was a False Flag Attack


robertUS  Intelligence  Officer  “Every  Single  Terrorist  Attack  In  US Was  a  False  Flag  Attack”


Arjun Walia, Collective-Evolution, Waking Times Media

Apart from documents that have outlined supposed terrorist threats, like Al-Qaeda, and their connection to US intelligence agencies, like the CIA, there are a number of whistleblowers that have come out adding more fuel to the fire. Because not many are even aware of these documents, letting people know about a truth that can be hard for people to accept, let alone ponder the possibility is very important. It’s just one aspect of the veil that’s been blinding the masses for quite some time now.

The latest whistleblower is David Steele, a 20-year Marine Corps intelligence officer, and the second-highest-ranking civilian in the U.S. Marine Corps Intelligence. He is a former CIA clandestine services case officer, and this is what he had to say:

"Keiser Report: War on terror


What Is A “False Flag Attack?”

A great example of a false flag attack is 9/11, something that many people believe to be a creation of US intelligence agencies or some entity above the 'government' (one that controls what Eisenhower called “the military-industrial complex”). The idea is that these so-called terrorist attacks are created by this group, in order to justify the infiltration of other countries, and to justify a heightened state of “national security.”As a result, in the eyes of the citizenry, war, and mass murder are justified, when the intentions behind these actions are something the citizenry has no idea about. This is why we see a false sense of patriotism programmed into many people, especially in the United States. Men and women join this massive military machine with good hearts, thinking that they are serving their country and fighting terrorism when they are doing the complete opposite. They are only participating in a fabricated war based on lies and misinformation.

The truth is, there is no Islamic army or terrorist group called Al-Qaeda, and any informed intelligence officer knows this. But, there is a propaganda campaign to make the public believe in the presence of an intensified entity representing the ‘devil’ only in order to drive TV watchers to accept a unified international leadership for a war against terrorism. The country behind this propaganda is the United States.” – Former British Foreign Secretary, Robin Cook

Russia: Third World War Has Never Been So Close


Russian Reaction To US Attack
Third World War Has Never Been So Close

Published on Sep 20, 2016
As we have already said many times, the main aspect of this political season is not elections, but war.

As we have already said many times, the main aspect of this political season is not elections, but war. But if elections do have importance somewhere, then this is in the US where, once again, they are closely connected to war. 

Two days ago, on Saturday September 17th, the likelihood of this war was breathtakingly high. As we know, American troops, who no one ever invited to Syria bombed the positions of the Syrian army at Deir ez-Zor. As a result of the bombing, 60 Syrian soldiers were killed.

This strike was extremely important for ISIS militants, whom the US is informally advising and arming while supposedly fighting them. This crossed the line. Bombing Syrian soldiers is one thing, but this means declaring war not only against Syria, but also Russia, which is fighting in Syria on Assad’s side. And this means that we have reached a climax.

Sure, the US leadership immediately reported that the airstrike was a mistake and warned the Russian leadership not to express any emotions. But Americans can only be lying, as modern technology allows satellite objects to be seen from a desktop. 

Theoretically, American bombers could not have simply confused such a strike. And what’s most important: if they had told you that they were preparing to bomb you, and you said nothing, then does that mean you agree?

It is completely obvious that the US is preparing to start a war against Russia. Border incidents represent reconnaissance operations. But how will Moscow, Putin, and the Kremlin react?  
The point of no return has not yet been crossed, but did Moscow’s reaction not show just how many Russians are ready for a direct, frontal confrontation with the US and NATO? This was why the airstrike was launched against Syrian army positions.

The globalist US leadership obviously cannot rule the whole world and, what’s more, the threat posed by Trump puts their control over America itself into question. Now, while the puppet Barack Obama is still in office and the globalist candidate Hillary Clinton is falling apart in front of American voters’ very eyes, is the last chance to start a war. This would allow them to postpone elections or force Trump, if he were to win, to begin his presidency in catastrophic conditions. Thus, the US neoconservatives and globalists need war. And fast, before it’s too late. 

If Trump gets into the White House when there will be peace, then there will be no such war, at least for the foreseeable future. And this would spell the end of the omnipotence of the maniacal globalist elites. Thus, everything at this point is very, very serious. 

NATO’s ideologues and the US globalists falling into the abyss need war right now - before the American elections. War against us. Not so much for victory, but for the process itself. This is the only way for them to prolong their dominance and divert the attention of Americans and the whole world from their endless series of failures and crimes. The globalists’ game has been revealed. Soon enough, they’ll have to step down from power and appear before court. Only war can save their situation.

But what about us? We don’t need war. Not now, now tomorrow, never. Never in history have we needed war. But we have constantly fought and, in fact, we have almost never lost. The cost entailed terrible losses and colossal efforts, but we won. And we will always win. If this were not so, then today we wouldn’t have such an enormous country free from foreign control.

But in this case, we need to buy as much time as possible. The Americans have essentially attacked our positions, like the Georgians in Tskhinvali in August 2008. Russians are under fire, and this cannot be ignored. Our reaction is extremely cautious and balanced. We have expressed what we think about this American act of aggression, but in very deliberate terms.

The fatality of the situation lies in that, if Washington decides to opt for war now, then we cannot avoid it. If they will insist and repeat the September 17th situation again and again, then we will have to either accept the challenge and go to war, or knowingly admit defeat.

In this situation, the outcome of the struggle for peace which is, as always, fully in our interests, does not depend on us. We really need peace, to buy time until November 8th, and then everything will be much easier. But will the collapsing colossus allow us this time?

God forbid that this happens. But those who could pray prayed on the eve of the First and Second World War. In any case, our goal is always and only victory. Our victory.

The Americans are bombing our guys. A Third World War has never been so close.

DEVELOPING: ISIS Attacks U.S. Soldiers With Mustard Gas, Obama’s “Response” Is SICKENING


DEVELOPING:  ISIS  Attacks  U.S. Soldiers  With  Mustard  Gas, Obama’s  “Response”  Is  SICKENING (Note the middle finger salute to Americans)


'president' Barack Obama has been insisting for years that the United States will not be putting “boots on the ground” in the Middle East to defeat the Islamic State terror group.

However, the United States does have a number of Special Forces troops stationed in the Middle East, as well as “advisers” who are helping the Iraqi army combat the terror group.

These troops regularly come under fire, and some have been been killed by the Islamic State group.

In the latest attack, the barbaric militants fired a shell containing a “mustard agent” at U.S and Iraqi troops, Fox News reported. 

 (The U.S.A. crime syndicate in Wash DC supplies ISIS with the weaponry; proof has been discovered by Wikileaks via Hillary Clinton emails; so the U.S.A. crime syndicate provides the weaponry to be used against U.S.A. troops by its own creation - ISIS - and vice versa - "BUT WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?" ).
  
Despite this chemical attack that fortunately did not claim any lives, Obama has refused to admit that we have troops on the ground in the Middle East, let alone admit that our troops come under fire frequently.  (Nor, of course, would he or his admin EVER ADMIT that the U.S.A. crime syndicate in Wash DC supplies the weaponry for BOTH SIDES! So the U.S.A. military is quite OK with that?)

 @KatiePavlich
U.S. forces attacked with mustard gas by ISIS and the Obama administration still refuses to say they're in combat, incredible

In fact, Fox News reported that there were almost 5,000 U.S. troops on the ground in Iraq, hundreds of whom were stationed at the U.S base outside Qayyarah, which is where the mustard gas shell was aimed.

The shell in question was reportedly being sent back to the United States for testing to confirm that it had a mustard agent inside it. The first field test came back positive but a second test was negative, possibly due to the mustard agent having been exposed to the air.

“(T)he base is attacked ‘fairly often’ with onventional weapons, but Tuesday’s assault is believed to be the first chemical attack on U.S. forces in Iraq since they returned to the country in 2014,” Fox News reported, citing an anonymous official.

Our troops in the Middle East are under fire on a regular basis — and apparently have been subjected to chemical warfare — yet our president refuses to even acknowledge their presence on the battlefield. (bozo is NOT 'our president' - this is NOT our 'government' - our nation has been under seige by the crime syndicate since 1933, to include members of the CON-gress and Americans have done NOTHING about it.)

We need a new president who will actually let our troops do their jobs and rid this world of the evil that is the Islamic State group.

NO!  WHAT WE NEED IS FOR OUR TRUE REPUBLIC GOVERNMENT REINSTATED, AND THOSE ASSOCIATED WITH THE U.S.A. CORPORATION CRIME SYNDICATE TO BE ARRESTED AND PROSECUTED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW.

The Islamic State group is preparing more than 500 children for suicide and combat missions against American and other targets in Afghanistan, U.S. intelligence and military officials say.

The terrorist organization centered in Iraq and Syria is targeting local government officials and Taliban forces as well as American forces, the officials and local residents told AMI.

The camps and madrassas — Islamic religious schools — were established by the Islamic State group last year in the area of Bandar, in Achin District, in the south of Afghanistan’s Nangarhar province. 

Initially, the Islamic State group recruited more than 50 children, some as young as 6 years old, but the recruitment efforts have grown dramatically this year. 

Residents said Islamic State group recruiters are paying parents roughly $300 to $500 a month per child. Residents said the Islamists downplay or conceal the suicide and combat training from parents, who are promised religious education for their children. U.S. intelligence officials in the region corroborated those accounts.  The payments would easily more than double the typical monthly salary of family breadwinners in the area, where many locals work as small farmers or day laborers.

U.S. Intelligence officials said the terror group has invested millions in South Asia for recruitment of young children. The cash comes from illegal oil revenue, ransoms, taxation of residents subjugated by the jihadists, money from supporters and sales of antiquities, these officials added.

Residents in Achin District said the Islamic State group madrassas operate under the command of Ahmad Wali, an Afghan national who was once a trainer for the rival Taliban. Wali, who also goes by the alias Mulvi Hamza, “is a famous and good trainer ... brainwashing children, preparing young militants for suicide attacks,” a resident with direct knowledge of the Islamic State group camps said.  "There is no reason to doubt that these children are being brainwashed and indoctrinated for suicide missions and warfare," said a U.S. intelligence official familiar with Islamic State group activity in the region. "We've seen this in the past with the Taliban and other terror networks operating in Afghanistan and Pakistan."

The Islamic extremist group’s Afghan media wing released a video in late January showing 13 boys and young men taking part in military-style training exercises in rocky mountain terrain. The video shows the youths dressed in black with oversize camouflage jackets, brandishing Kalashnikovs.  In the video, a boy holds a microphone and says in Pashto, the language of eastern Afghanistan: “We are training here at the Islamic State center. We learned about jihad and now we will fight against enemies of Islam. We are asking all young people to leave your home and join us and fight in the way of God."

Another young fighter repeats the message in Dari, the other official language of Afghanistan.

Another American intelligence official said such efforts mirror those of the Islamic State group, also known as ISIS or ISIL, elsewhere.

“Reports of ISIL’s Khorasan affiliate attempting to indoctrinate Afghan youth would be consistent with the group’s practices in Syria and Iraq,” said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity out of security concerns. “The group has featured children in a number of its propaganda releases, and ISIL’s dozens of provincial media outlets allow it to tailor propaganda to specific audiences."

Hejrat Khan has a 13-year-old son in one of the schools. The commander of that Islamic State group madrassa is a man from a local village called Mulvi Asim, Khan told AMI, adding that the training camp provides “free food, clothing, shoes and sleeping accommodation” for the children. “We can’t send our children to other areas for religious education,” Khan said, because the region is so poor.

Asked if he worried that his son would be trained as a militant or used as a suicide bomber, Khan expressed confidence in Asim. “How is it possible that they would train our children for suicide missions?” he said. “Mulvi Asim is a nice man and he assured us they are providing only religious education for our children."

But several villagers working in the area painted a much darker picture.  Children at these madrassas are “brainwashed, taught how to use weapons like Kalashnikovs and fight,” said one eyewitness, who asked not to have his name used out of fear of retribution.

Islamic State group documents found in Syria and Pakistan affirm the coordinated effort by the terrorist organization to recruit children for jihad and establish training camps beyond Iraq and Syria, retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, told AMI during a recent interview in Washington, D.C.

Flynn pointed to a 32-page Islamic State document titled “A Brief History of the Islamic State Caliphate,” explaining it and other documents discovered in Syria show “how incredibly organized the Islamic State is and has been,” Flynn said. “And it also describes how they are developing children to fight. These guys are far more dedicated to their cause than we seem to be in order to stop them.”

SLOAN: THE MAN WHO MAY INHERIT THE MESS AT WELLS FARGO


TIM SLOAN:  THE  MAN  WHO  MAY INHERIT  CEO  STUMPF'S  MESS  AT  WELLS  FARGO 





  • President and COO Tim Sloan is longtime Wells Fargo employee
  • Not someone viewed as a ‘transformational CEO,’ analyst says
As the scandal over Wells Fargo & Co.’s bogus consumer accounts was coming to a head this summer, executives concluded they had to act. It was time for a chat with Carrie Tolstedt, the manager who oversaw the retail business.

The man assigned to do the messy task: Tim Sloan, the bank’s 56-year-old president, chief operating officer and trusted No. 2 to Chief Executive Officer John Stumpf. As Stumpf recounted for Congress this week, Sloan told Tolstedt that the bank would “go in a different direction." She was soon replaced.

It was quintessential Sloan, the quiet fixer, the man called in to clean up messes or help cinch giant acquisitions. He’s also long been considered Stumpf’s likely successor, a view that’s only grown as Stumpf, the CEO, has taken a public beating in recent days. Sloan finds himself in what analysts say is an enviable position amid the crisis. By dint of his past jobs, he can make the case that he is insulated from the taint of the current controversy.
 
Sloan has spent his career working with corporations and institutional investors, or the finance parts of Wells Fargo -- not the now-tarnished *retail side, where the allegedly fraudulent consumer accounts were manufactured.  (*AND where it is reported that Stumpf and associate[s] were doing private platform trading for their benefit using the GCR/RV funds in WF's.  We EXPOSED this resulting in Stumpf's phoning us and demanding we remove the article IMMEDIATELY!)  That distance should make it easier for the bank’s board to act if it decides that the 63-year-old Stumpf has to step down, said Marty Mosby, an analyst at Vining Sparks in Memphis, Tennessee.

“The backdrop they have is somewhat fortunate,” Mosby said. “Tim Sloan was on the business side of the bank. He was wholesale banking, he wasn’t really retail banking. So they have a little cover."

Political Backlash

Stumpf’s week keeps getting worse: On Thursday, he stepped down from the Federal Reserve’s Federal Advisory Council amid political pressure. Lawmakers also urged the Labor Department to join the list of regulators scrutinizing *the bank’s misconduct. And that’s after Senator Elizabeth Warren called for Stumpf to resign during his Senate Banking Committee testimony, adding to pressure on the CEO as the stock sinks toward its lowest level in more than two years.  Still, Mosby said he doubts Wells Fargo’s board will decide to go in that direction.

Warren Buffett, the biggest investor in Wells Fargo, has remained quiet on the controversy, and in an interview with Fox Business Network said that he won’t comment until November.  Buffett’s silence on Wells Fargo contrasts with his support of executives including Goldman Sachs Group Inc.’s Lloyd Blankfein and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s Jamie Dimon when their companies drew regulatory scrutiny.

Oscar Suris, a Wells Fargo spokesman, declined to comment or make Sloan available for an interview.

Everyman's Executive

Both Stumpf and Sloan are longtime employees of Wells Fargo and its predecessors. Stumpf joined in 1982, Sloan in 1987. They share a host of traits -- Midwestern, deliberate, loyal -- not to mention the gray hair and tanned look of a bank CEO. One difference: Sloan’s a golfer, Stumpf prefers bridge.

A former colleague describes Sloan as an every man's executive who wouldn’t be seen wearing a custom-made Italian suit, preferring an off-the-rack brand. That style carries over to his management approach.  “He is not someone you would consider a transformational CEO if this company needs to go in a new direction,” said Brian Kleinhanzl, an analyst at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods.

Sloan commutes most weeks to the bank’s headquarters in San Francisco from the eight-bedroom, 5,800 SF house he shares with his wife and three children in San Marino, a tony enclave in Los Angeles county.

Avoiding Picketers

He hasn’t been immune to controversy. In 2011 and 2012, Wells Fargo customers angry about the bank’s mortgage dealings protested at his house. He didn’t answer the door either time, according to local news reports.  Over the past decade Sloan has taken on sensitive projects for Stumpf.

In the midst of the financial crisis in 2008, he was one of two senior executives from Wells Fargo’s wholesale division to lead the examination of Wachovia Corp.’s commercial and investment bank. The analysis helped Stumpf get comfortable with the deal, a $12.7 billion transaction that propelled Wells Fargo deeper into investment banking.

In 2011, Sloan stepped into the breach to quiet concerns when Wells Fargo announced the surprise resignation of Chief Financial Officer Howard Atkins for undisclosed personal reasons.

Cleveland Roots

Born in Cleveland, Sloan grew up in the Detroit area, where his father served as a longtime executive at Ford Motor Co. He earned a bachelor’s degree, and then an MBA, from the University of Michigan (and remains a fan of the school’s football and basketball teams today).
After graduation, he landed his first formal job at Continental Illinois National Bank & Trust Co. in 1984, just as bad energy loans were driving the lender into what was then the largest bank collapse in U.S. history. Sloan landed in the workout group.  “Everybody should spend some time in workouts,” he told Bloomberg in 2011. “You look at other people’s mistakes, and then you learn from them.”

At Wells Fargo, in the mid 1990s, he helped set up the merchant banking group, which made real estate loans, offered mezzanine debt and occasionally took equity stakes with the bank’s own money, according to a former colleague.

By 2000, he was running capital markets when the bank bought First Security Corp. and picked up a small investment banking business, according to American Banker.

Big Clients

He showed an eye for acquisitions. In 1999, Sloan led Wells Fargo’s purchase of Eastdil Realty LLC. Six years later, the bank bought Secured Capital Corp. and merged the two firms, creating what has become a top U.S. real estate investment bank, Eastdil Secured.

Sloan was named chief financial officer in 2011, the year when the suspect consumer banking behavior is thought to have begun. But as CFO, where he oversaw finance, planning and the like, Sloan was removed from the retail operations.  “Though he did have a tenure as CFO when this was going on, he didn’t have business line responsibility,” said analyst Mosby.

Three years later he was named head of the bank’s wholesale banking division, which counts companies -- not consumers -- as clients. In that role, he was parallel to Tolstedt in the executive ranks.

In November 2015 Sloan became Tolstedt’s boss, when his new role as COO and president gave him oversight of her community banking division. By then, the investigation was well underway. Los Angeles had filed its lawsuit claiming improprieties, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency had found shortcomings in the bank’s sales practices. 

Eight months later, Tolstedt was on her way out.
