Federal Reserve Notes Declared Unconstitutional Null and Void by the Court
Submitted by celeste on Fri, 09/19/2008 - 15:24
I believe this needs its own thread. Everyone needs to read this decision by Judge Mahoney.
"The activity of the Federal Reserve Banks...and the First National Bank of Montgomery, is contrary to public policy and contrary to the Constitution of the United States, and constitutes an unlawful creation of money and credit for no valuable consideration. Activity of said banks in creating money and credit is not warranted by the Constitution of the United States.
There was no appeal allowed to this decision.
Judge Mahoney was assasinated two weeks after this.

Here in lies the problem, of
Here in lies the problem, of the foundation upon which fiat notes are tendered ..The foundation of the Constitution is by individual consent ,not gotten from the majority in agreement...For any tender to be "lega"l it has to be approved ,not by the branches of gov't, but by each & every steakholder who is a citizen...As representation of the people only the Congress could possibly make decisions of this scale, however the individual person is the final authority to accept or reject payment of fiat currency as, tender..The gov't or any branch thereof cannot overule the individual , unless the individual is cohersed & blackmailed into accepting FIAT by FORCE, which itself is illegal...
yes ???
see to your liberty
A bump from the past
I believe this thread is germane to what is happening currently.
Judge Mahoney
"There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is
striking at the root." -- Henry David Thoreau <><
"Justice of the Peace" -- ergo local and irrelevant to case law.
Nicely written and well reasoned, but entirely irrelevant to case law in the United States (not just now, but EVER).
The court of a "Justice of the Peace" is an "inferior" court, and has very limited jurisdiction, but in cases they can rule on, punishments and awards they can mete out, etc. Normally they are little more than a local functionary who can perform marriages, and rule on local misdemeanors (traffic court, etc) -- they typically have no "judicial authority" as it is normally defined.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justice_of_the_Peace#United_States
Most such "Judges" have minimal legal training (they do not have to be lawyers... YOU could be elected "Justice of the Peace" in most locales), and are only referred to as "Judge" as a courtesy.
Many states do not even have such offices any more, instead using "Administrative Law Judge" or other such terms, and typically their courtrooms consist of a briefcase and a table.
So long and short is that while it's a nice "ruling" -- you shouldn't try to hang your hat on it... the recent Nevada case (where the employer paid his employees in gold/silver coin) would be a much better bet.
Why
So much retaliation for nothing ??? The Judge murdered and lawyers disbared. It does not compute.
His death was probably completely unrelated.
Correlation does not equal causation.
There is a lot we don't know about this guy's death. For all we know he was cheating with someone else's wife and her husband did him in...
Just because two events occur close to each other in time does not mean that the first caused the second.
Yep just like JFK...

Yea
I'm sure it was a total coincidence. Let me get back to sleep.
Nice.

cool. i like it.
I first became aware of this case in the 70s. I agree with
Judge Mahoney's decision, even though it has no practical precedental value in U.S. courts. If there's a lesson to be learned from it, I think it would fall more along the lines of the degrees and lengths to which the established order will go in order to protect their control of the monetary system of this country and the resulting influence that they can exercise in virtually every important aspect of our lives.
Jerome Daly was disbarred as was Bill Drexler who also was involved in the case.

Why
No Precedent. It was a judgement?
The Minnesota courts declared that the Justice Of The
Peace court (where Judge Mahoney was presiding) had no legal authority under Minnesota law to issue such a decision regarding the legality of Federal Reserve Notes. If Judge Mahoney's decision had been rendered by, say, the U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, then it would be considered as precedent in that circuit. If it had been rendered by the U.S. Supreme Court, then it would be considered as precedent for all courts in the U.S. Others have attempted to cite the Credit River case as precedent in other jurisdictions, primarily state cases, and it has never once been so treated or entertained by any other court.

Thank you for your comments
Why did Judge Mahoney think he could hear this case to begin with, Was something changed after the fact to discredit this case ?
If memory serves, the original action was not brought by
Jerome Daly, in a Justice Of The Peace court (Justice court), in order to prevent the passing of title to his house, as the result of a Sheriff's sale that took place subsequent to the bank foreclosing on Mr. Daly's mortgage. Mr. Daly was actually the defendent in the case. It was the Bank who actually brought the action, as a plantiff, against Mr. Daly. That happened in 1968. Subsequent legal proceedings, in a higher court in Minnesota, wrangled the issue back and forth. The complaining bank attempted to have Judge Mahoney removed from the case but, in a 1969 decision, a higher Minnesota court declared the action a "nullity" because of Judge Mahoney's death. Daly was eventually disciplined and disbarred. Bill Drexler, who also sat on the trial as an associate justice, was later the subject of a successful attempt to have him disbarred. Both Daly and Drexler came to be rather prominent in the tax protestor movement that caught fire during the late 70s and the Carter administration. I say all of this with no intent to downplay the actions undertaken by Mr. Daly, Mr. Drexler or Martin Mahoney. Pricking the finger of the beast is not an activity for the faint of heart.

Your opinion
Was the Judge killed out of revenge or was he still seen as a threat or something else. And thank you again for all this info.
Sorry
I should have read more closely. His death closed the door officially on this case.
JP Martin V. Mahoney's death
There's been a good deal of misunderstanding and mythology about this "decision" and about its aftermath.
Martin V. Mahoney was a Justice of the Peace. Under the Minnesota laws then in effect, this office only existed in towns too small to have regular municipal courts; and the JPs had jurisdiction only over very small claims civil cases (value in dispute not more than $100) or very minor crimes (possible fine not more than $100). Mahoney was not trained as a lawyer; according to Jerome Daly (the primary source of any info about this "decision") Mahoney was "a dirt farmer".
Mahoney wasn't assassinated and it wasn't two weeks after the "decision". Mahoney was killed in a boating accident on August 22, 1969; the death certificate shows there was no foul play. Daly liked to say that "poison" was found in Mahoney's body - the death certificate showed that it was alcohol, a lot of alcohol. Apparently Mahoney had attained Jeff Foxworthy's criterion of being a redneck - he was too drunk to fish. A court mentioned Mahoney's death only to explain why court proceedings to remove him from office had been discontinued.
The pretended decision was clearly beyond Mahoney's authority. It also was clearly ghostwritten for him; it's nicely typed with several case citations that Mahoney could never have written.
Within a couple of years of this "decision" Jerome Daly (the supposed plaintiff) and William Drexler (who "assisted" Mahoney) were disbarred. The Supreme Court of Minnesota went even further and declared that Mahoney's "decision" was invalid and nullity and even went to the point of forbidding a litigant from citing it in pleadings.
I firmly believe this Decision will have a play in our future.
The president of the Bank admitted that the Bank created the money and credit upon its own books by which it acquired
or gave as consideration for the Note; that this was standard banking practice, that the credit first came into existence when
they created it; that he knew of no United States Statutes which gave them the right to do this. This is the universal practice of
these Banks. The Justice who heard the case handed down the opinion attached and included herein. Its reasoning is sound. It
will withstand the test of time. This is the first time the question has been passed upon in the United States. I predict that this
decision will go into the History Books as one of the great Documents of American History. It is a huge cornerstone wrenched
from the temple of Imperialism and planted as one of the solid foundation stones of Liberty.

Footnote
This "act" of our Federal Judicial Officers to "disbar" a fellow member of the "Bar" for questioning the validity of the monetary system of the United States raises the question as to who the Federal Judicial Officers are employed by? It is obvious that they are employed by the International Banking Cartels; NOT THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES.
Oh yes. I do agree with that assessment.

Thanks for the info!! I saved and faved and will be sending to all on my email list.
I think this is pointless...
The average politician sees the Constitution as antiquated...
If they *did know* that it was unconstitutional, what would they do?
Anything?
This has nothing to do with politicians
This has to do with Law. These cases need to go before the Supreme Court. The Patriot Act has never gone before it. The night before it was to be argued the Govenment dropped the case. They knew it would be struck down.
Knowledge with Actiion is Power !!!!!!!
It's time for the rule of Law- the Constitution to be precise
not the liberty stealing laws that ignore it.
