How Copper Cards Began
by The Melinda
Clive wrote the first one while he was in jail the second time. By then he had given up on the judicial system, having found that its real function was to generate income for attorneys, judges, law enforcement and their hangers on. The experience that landed him in jail had been life altering in every imaginable way. Successful and wealthy entrepreneurs from Silicon Valley do not expect to be shot at by law enforcement while driving in to their driveway with their children. It had been a sunny afternoon, ordinary and normal as they drove up to his palatial Georgian estate, nestled in the hills over Santa Cruz. The boys, both blond-haired, were looking forward to a swim in the pool before dinner that would never happen. Even less do those who grow up in the envelope of privilege so familiar to the British elite expect such treatment. But it happened. It took him anguished months to understand why.
In jail he discovered that those behind bars were more likely to be decent men than those who put him there. Murderers, bank robbers; they seemed benign after his experience with those who had tried to kill him. Desperate, he began studying the law. He discovered the Constitution and the history of the Common Law, so different from statute and code. He started seeing what he needed to defend himself. Using the instructions he wrote for himself he began to fight back, sharing those small instructionals with others. Using what he later called the Arraignment Card against the advice of his highly paid attorneys was empowering. It worked. Facing down the enemy brought him a renewal of lost power.
The system stopped hammering him with law suits. They had filed seven, one after another to stop the company he had founded, a much superior system to the Federal Reserve Bank. Out of jail, Clive Boustred began to think about how he could stop the corruption and give Americans back the justice system their Founders had intended. He thought about ordinary people, the kind of people needed to build a mass movement. If there were a way to make sure that every area had a group who would make sure the people had the Constitution and Common Law, understood it as our Founders had, all would be free. With the right tools they could come together to enact freedom
The number of cards grew. He called them his Copper Cards because copper is the people's metal; not the gold standard but the lowest common denominator that anyone could afford. Now, he understood why he had been targeted. Now, he knew that the Federal Reserve Bank was a very private corporation. He also knew what must be done to restore justice in America.
Over those long months he had learned the Constitution by heart, understood the greatness of the legacy America's Founders had passed on to the future. They were men who understood why the people must come together for freedom. It was a legacy nearly lost, but he was determined that it be reclaimed.

Sounds very... vague
It all sounds very romantic... it would be necessary at this point for the gentleman in question to supply details about his 'system', the meaning of the cryptic "Arraignment Card'(s), and especially the case number, the docket numbers, the filings used, and the decision cite(s).
The story is entirely vague, making it absolutely paramount that one keep a tight lid on the pocket book, as tales couched in parables are often just parables for sale! I have studied the matter, and it is found wanting in many respects. It is excitement but the feeling found in the back of the crowd, where they are still asking what is going on up front.
Until the issue is revealed in details of the case law or at least the pleadings filed, it remains so vague that it makes no sense... as such 'no sense' is what it will trade for in the end! The character forming the subject of this story has reached magnificent proportions, but without either a plot or a body nor an ending.
I refer you to the quote below!
"Suspicion is a Virtue, if in the interests of the good of the people." Patrick Henry
So, how does this system work?
"Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters."
Benjamin Franklin

This looks
really interesting.

Coppercards - Can it really happen??!!
This really sounds like it would solve our monetary problems!! I am so excited - I just found out about this. Coppercards it's an ASSET-backed, DEBT-FREE currency. It's even better than gold. ANY real asset can be converted into "coppers". The currency is not created as debt. Instead, the currency represent value, and is only issued at the point when something is actually sold, when fair market value is established. This takes the "money-creating machine" out of the hands of both private central and reserve bankers (banksters!) AND corruption-prone, power-hungry government! The money is created AS the wealth is created! This keeps the money supply in perfect proportion to the size of the economy. No more asset bubbles and depressions!!! Prices will be stable! The problem of INTEREST is eliminated (there isn't any!). I don't think it's an understatement to say this is a revolutionary concept, that if widely adopted, could CHANGE THE WORLD. If I'm wrong, please tell me why!
Interest
Why all the hostility toward interest? Without interest nobody will invest their savings. Without invested savings there can be very little capital improvement in the means of production. Without improvement in the means of production, the economy can never reach significant levels of wealth. No factories, no power plants, no machinery to make even small businesses more efficient, no cars, no airplanes, no computers, etc.
An economy without interest is a bare subsistence economy. Think Europe in the Dark Ages.
Interest does not serve people.
If I invested $100 today, what kind of risk would I have to take to be sure that in 40 years my $100 is still worth $100? Because of printing money and the inevitable result of inflation, I have to risk what I have.
If I could put my money in a safe place and if money was constant (gold standard) and I new that I could still buy in 40 years what I could buy now...
Now there is always investments in companies that grow and succeed, but the risk wouldn't have to be so severe.
At least that's my take and I am no expert so....
Interest
Without interest, nobody will invest their money in improving the means of production. No investment in the means of production means no factories, no machines, no cars, no airplanes, essentially only the simplest manufactured goods at high prices. Congratulations! We are back in the middle ages.
Problem of Interest
I understand your point. I am not an expert on this issue and am still researching it -- but I think the problem with interest is that it creates money as debt. When a loan is made, even if the loaned money already exists as an asset, the interest doesn't exist yet in the money supply. Unless the money supply is increased somehow, there will not be enough money in the system to cover the interest. This is why the money supply must always be increased and is why inflation is designed into the system as "normal". Of course, fractional reserve banking makes the problem much worse, and should be eliminated. Interest is not the only way to earn a return on an investment, however. Companies pay dividends to stockholders; also, assets acquired may increase in value. There are other ways to get around the problem of interest, for example, in Islamic banking, when someone needs credit to buy a house, the bank actually purchases the house for them, and then sells it to the buyer over an extended term for a slightly higher price. It's like having a regular mortgage payment, but the bank profits on the capital gain and not on interest. I don't know if this really alleviates the problem, though. You still need to have a way of keeping the money supply in line with GDP to have stable prices. Anyone else have some thoughts on this?
The market
A free market in money takes care of the money supply problem. There is no need to create new money to have a growing economy. As the demand for money grows, the exchange value grows and you need less of it to buy the same things. You could have an perfectly stable money supply and a growing economy with no problem at all.
I wouldn't say that interest
I wouldn't say that interest itself is bad. It is how and where it is used. With a limited supply of money...lets say $100...a loan of $10 with 10% interest annually will pay $1 in interest that year. It did not affect the money supply and each dollars value.
The problems lies with a central bank that is devaluing the dollar continuously by expanding the money supply and at the same time siphoning it back with their vampiric tool...interest...interest on something they just 'made up'. It is how the interest is used...since they have nothing in the first place of value...their interest fees are vampiric and thus bad.
They are Vampires that do nothing but drain us of Life and Liberty.

Federal Reserve to the American People:
"Catapultam habeo. Nisi pecuniam omnem mihi dabis, ad caput tuum saxum immane mittam."
Yes
People seem to be confusing interest on consumer and government debt (which are destructive) with interest on money borrowed to improve the means of production (which is ESSENTIAL for increasing productivity). If you eliminate the Fed and eliminate fractional reserve banking and prevent the government from borrowing money, you will eliminate the destructive kind of interest but keep the productive kind.
