NESARA - Summary of Benefits for CANADIANS


PEACE and PROSPERITY

CANADA is about to share the benefits of the most humanitarian and revolutionary event the world has ever seen.
NESARA brings PEACE, WORLDWIDE PROSPERITY and INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC BENEFITS.
As USA is the bastion of FREEDOM in this world, NESARA has to be implemented there first. Canada follows the next day. In October 2000, after being passed by Congress, President Bill Clinton signed the National Economic and Security and Reformation Act (NESARA): 153 nations, including CANADA, have agreed by treaty at the World Court (International Court of Justice in the Hague) to implement these improvements.
Until its official announcement, all government, banking, military, intelligence, Congressional, business, and other personnel and officials who have had to be informed about NESARA due to their professional duties, have been sworn to secrecy and would be charged with treason if they even admit that it exists, on account of sensitive information crashing the stock and commodity markets, and causing massive economic problems worldwide.
The announcement has been delayed by the wiles of the international bankers, who would lose control over the nations of this world when it is introduced, but we are now on the point of its implementation worldwide..
To give you an idea of what is at stake here, here are just some of the NESARA improvements:-
• All banks become TREASURY banks and new currency, backed by precious metals, is issued on a one for one basis
• CANADIAN BANK DEBTS - your home mortgage, bank car loan, college education and other loans are forgiven if you are a Canadian citizen, as part of the compensation program for bank fraud
• CREDIT CARD balances (again, on Canadian banks - and many major department stores or merchants as well) - are zeroed-out immediately, for both Canadian citizens and Landed Immigrants
• CCRA is DISBANDED and all INCOME TAX - both personal and business - (which never did go to any government in Canada or the States) - is abolished; and compensation for this fraud also paid out
• GST is replaced with a straight sales tax on new, non-essential goods and services
• COMMON LAW is the Law of the Land with sovereign citizenship, restoration of the Constitution; all statutory laws are cancelled; all cases on the books are stopped, judges receive re-training
• The GOVERNMENT RESIGNS - many members, past and present, charged with Treason; temporary Prime Minister installed; followed by elections with constitutionally acceptable candidates
• Canada is at PEACE, not WAR - so all Canadian military overseas are brought back home
This is the beginning of what has been termed the Golden Age, prophesied since biblical times.
Behind the scenes right now it is hectic ..... and the Illuminati frantic. Alan Greenspan's 1966 article explained the benefits of a gold-backed currency (he is a strong backer of NESARA) and this will be welcomed in international financial markets, as business worldwide will receive a tremendous boost from NESARA.. He will lecture for about 30 hours on TV explaining NESARA in detail once the initial public announcement has been made. Don't miss it!

BRIEF SUMMARY
In 1993, the U.S. Supreme Court almost unanimously ruled in favor of the Farmers' Union claims that American banks were fraudulently foreclosing on farms with collusion of the government, and that the income tax amendment was never properly ratified. An extremely strict gag order was placed on everyone directly involved, court case records sealed, and docket number case details revised until after the Court's reformation rulings are accomplished.
To implement reformations, five Justices spent years negotiating 'Accords' with U.S. government and other parties. Because the Accords process did not work, the Justices authorized the reformations be put into the form of a law named the National Economic Security And Reformation Act (NESARA) which was passed secretly in March 2000. Secrecy was maintained by revising official records and strict gag orders. News of NESARA came out of U.S. naval intelligence in June 2000.
The World Court ruled 2002 08 22 that the countries involved (182 now, including CANADA) MUST honor their contracts and change their banking systems in alignment with the true NESARA law as previously agreed.
The process must begin in the United States - in a climate of peace: once it is announced there, the other countries must follow their lead.
NESARA was to be announced at 10 a.m. EDT on 11th September, 2001. The attacks on the World Trade Centre occurred just before 9 am that day. There were NO hijackers. President Bush desperately needed a war - partly to stop this announcement! The lives of NY firemen could be at risk as they evidenced the murder of some 200 bank employees who were actioning bank procedures for the implementation of NESARA that very morning!
On 2002 10 14, the Justices removed many gag orders, and talk shows on both radio and television across the country began to feature this information for the first time.
In November 2003 activities moved to a different front, with individuals and groups taking a role in the preparation for this "Golden Age" despite a wave of increasing cynicism from those who were disappointed at the long wait and those who still thought it "pie in the sky" - and, of course, also from those who would be removed from control over the planet upon its implementation ........

WHY the WORLD needs NESARA
(Prepare to be shocked .....)
The background to Gestapo/Nazi-type Laws in North America
• Psycho-Politics - The Russian Textbook
• Monarch - Mind Control Methodology
• Microwave Harassment and Mind-Control Experimentation
• H.A.A.R.P. - Health, Mind and Weather
• What do we do? - An American thinks it over
PRINCIPAL BENEFITS
• Treasury Banking System: Currency backed by Precious Metals

• NO Income Taxes - tax agencies disbanded

• Forgiveness of Bank Mortgages and Loans
including Student Loans

• Forgiveness of Credit Card debt

• Restoration of Constitutional law, Common Law

• and much more ..........

[doveofo] World Court Approves March 22, 2004 To Begin NESARA Announcement
> Time Period
> February 20, 2004 10:27 a.m. PST
>
> Hello Dear Friends and White Knights,
>
> Late this afternoon in The Netherlands, the World Court Judges ended the
> court session and recessed to vote on the NESARA announcement time period
> petition. A few hours later, the Judges presented their decision in
> Court. The Judges ruled in favor of and approved the March 22, 2004
> beginning date of the NESARA announcement time period!
>
> When I checked last night, my sources indicated the vote at that time was
> nine Judges in favor and six Judges against the NESARA March 22, 2004
> beginning date. In spite of Illuminati attempts to interfere this week
> and especially last night and this morning, the Judges remained steady in
> their support of NESARA and by a vote of nine Judges to six the March 22,
> 2004 beginning date of the NESARA announcement time period was approved!
>
> What this means is that on Monday, March 22, 2004, about 25,000 White
> Knights in the U.S. military will begin being deployed around the U.S. to
> their NESARA announcement security duty assignments. Thousands of U.S.
> military reservists will be ordered to report to active duty to replace
> the White Knights in the U.S. military who will be doing NESARA
> announcement security duty.
>
> The actual NESARA announcement is expected to occur later in the week of
> March 22, 2004!
>
> A big High Five to all who have worked in support of NESARA! We have
> accomplished our goal of encouraging the World Court Judges to approve the
> March 22, 2004 date and we can now send a final email thanking the Judges
> for today's important NESARA approval.
>
> On behalf of all of us, I sincerely thank the four pro-NESARA U.S. Supreme
> Court Justices, Justice Ginsburg, Justice Souter, Justice Stevens, and
> Justice Breyer, who have courageously taken very strong actions
> culminating in today's approval of the March 22, 2004 date!
>
> We can also send a thank you postcard to the four pro-NESARA U.S. Supreme
> Court Justices: Justice Ginsburg, Justice Souter, Justice Stevens, and
> Justice Breyer. Their mailing address is:

> One First Street
> Washington, D.C. 20543

? [doveofo] NESARA Action Mounting at World Court as U.N. Group Arrives
> February 16, 2004 8:03 p.m. PST
>
> Hello Dear Friends and White Knights,
>
> For those of you new to the Dove Reports, because NESARA's ripple effects
> will cause banking improvements in 140+ countries around the world, the
> World Court is involved in approving NESARA announcement time periods.
> Last Friday, four pro-NESARA U.S. Supreme Court Justices (Ginsburg,
> Souter, Stevens, and Breyer) submitted a petition to World Court
> requesting the Court to approve the earliest NESARA announcement time
> period possible and giving three potential dates to begin the NESARA
> announcement time period. The dates in the NESARA announcement time
> period petition are March 22, 2004, March 29, 2004, and April 5, 2004 and
> one of these dates must be approved by the World Court before NESARA can
> be announced.
>
> The "National Economic Security And Reformation Act" - NESARA - provides
> major benefits to Americans including:
> 1. Forgiveness of credit card, mortgage debt, and other bank loans as
> remedy for bank and government frauds;
> 2. Abolishes the IRS; creates flat rate non-essential "new items only"
> sales tax revenue for government;
> 3. Initiates U.S. Treasury Bank System which absorbs the Federal Reserve
> and new precious metals backed U.S. Treasury currency;
> 4. Restores Constitutional Law;
> 5. Requires resignations of current administration to be replaced by
> Constitutionally acceptable NESARA President and Vice President Designates
> until new elections within 120 days;
> 6. Requires the President Designate to declare "Peace" enabling
> international banking improvements to proceed smoothly; ends U.S.
> aggressive military actions immediately, and many more improvements. (For
> more details on NESARA, see www.nesara.us )
>
> Last Friday the four pro-NESARA U.S. Supreme Court Justices also submitted
> a second petition to World Court requesting that six World Court Judges
> who have a history of voting against NESARA to recuse themselves from
> ruling on NESARA unless the Court approves either March 22 or March 29, or
> April 5, 2004. The four U.S. Supreme Court Justices also submitted a
> "notice of grievance" to the U.N. about the appearance of bias in the six
> World Court Judges. (See last Friday, February 13 Dove Report for full
> details about the NESARA announcement petition, etc., at
> www.nesara.us/doverpts04/February_13_2004.htm ) Also, to
> understand why the U.S. Supreme Court is involved, read the History of
> NESARA at www.nesara.us/pages/history.html .
>
> Today a U.N. group of five is arriving in The Hague (city in The
> Netherlands) where World Court is located. These five U.N. personnel are
> going to World Court to investigate the decisions made by World Court
> Judges regarding NESARA over the past few years. They are very concerned
> about the pattern revealed in the records of World Court rulings related
> to NESARA which were included in the notice of grievance submitted to the
> U.N. by the four pro-NESARA U.S. Supreme Court Justices. (To learn more
> about the World Court, see the Court's website at www.icj-cij.org
> .)
>
> The five U.N. personnel are traveling to The Hague today and will spend
> time this week reviewing the Court's records of rulings related to
> delaying and approving NESARA announcement time periods. Illuminati
> bankers and government officials have often submitted petitions asking for
> delays of the NESARA announcement as a strategy for causing weeks or
> months of delays. The five U.N. personnel are not happy with the
> indications of bias against NESARA which the six World Court Judges have
> shown.
>
> In addition, the U.N. personnel have copies of the four pro-NESARA U.S.
> Supreme Court Justices' statements that none of the petitions seeking to
> delay NESARA are based on valid reasons. Therefore, the U.N. personnel
> would like to see the World Court avoid any appearance of bias by
> approving the March 22, 2004 beginning date for the NESARA announcement
> time period.
>
> The U.N. group will also be interviewing each of the World Court Judges in
> the next few days. A notice of grievance from the four pro-NESARA U.S.
> Supreme Court Justices against six World Court Judges is a very serious
> matter; the six World Court Judges' records of voting against NESARA are
> so clear and obvious that these World Court Judges could face sanctions
> from the U.N.
>
> Clearly, the best strategy for the World Court is to approve the March 22,
> 2004 beginning date of the NESARA announcement time period. Approval of
> the March 22, 2004 date would definitely be in the best interest of the
> Court. The World Court does have time this week to hold a session and
> approve the March 22, 2004 date; the Court must make this ruling by or
> before February 20, 2004 in order for the NESARA announcement time period
> to begin March 22.
>
> Let's continue our emails to the World Court Judges at mail-AT-icj-cij.org
> requesting that the Judges approve the March 22, 2004 beginning date of
> NESARA's announcement time period. It's entirely possible that the Judges
> could approve the March 22, 2004 beginning date for the NESARA
> announcement time period; the Judges must approve the March 22, 2004 date
> by this coming Friday, February 20, 2004.
>
> Let's send as many emails urging the Court to approve March 22, 2004 as we
> can this week. The last time we lobbied World Court to approve the NESARA
> announcement time period, it took us three days to send 50,000 emails.
> When we have sent 50,000 emails to the Court, we will begin to get our
> emails bounced back to us and will know we have met our 50,000 emails
> goal.
>
> Remember, the World Court has issued strict gag orders on NESARA and no
> one at World Court can publicly confirm anything about NESARA by email or
> any other way; the standard response is "denial" in order to avoid
> breaking the gag order. Everyone who has been or is officially involved
> with NESARA is under the gag order and will only confirm NESARA
> confidentially to personal friends. I'm not an "official" person and
> therefore I can report the information I have gathered on NESARA during
> the last four years.
>
> The World Court has to send a 30-day notice to the officials of over 140
> countries' banking systems around the world BEFORE the NESARA announcement
> so these 140 countries can be ready to do their own banking improvements
> within a few weeks after NESARA's announcement. The 30-day notice is why
> the World Court needs to approve the March 22, 2004 date by this Friday,
