FADE IN:
A pastel background before opening credits, read by NARRATOR:
"I have sworn an oath on the altar of God. Eternal hostility
against every form of tyranny over the mind of man."
--Thomas Jefferson
If the American people ever allow private banks to control the
issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation,
the banks will deprive the people of all property until their
children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers
conquered... The issuing power should be taken from the banks
and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.
--Thomas Jefferson in the debate over the Re-charter of the Bank
Bill (1809)
I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our
liberties than standing armies.
--Thomas Jefferson
History records that the money changers have used every form of
abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible to maintain
their control over governments by controlling money and its
issuance.
--James Madison
If congress has the right under the Constitution to issue paper
money, it was given them to use themselves, not to be delegated
to individuals or corporations.
--Andrew Jackson
The Government should create, issue, and circulate all the
currency and credits needed to satisfy the spending power of the
Government and the buying power of consumers. By the adoption of
these principles, the taxpayers will be saved immense sums of
interest. Money will cease to be master and become the servant
of humanity.
--Abraham

Lincoln

FADE TO BLACK:
Some words of the money-changers so many had warned all about:
Let me issue and control a nations money and I care not who
writes the laws.
--Mayer Amschel Rothschild, founder of the House of Rothschild.
(CONTINUED)

2.
CONTINUED:

The few who understand the system will either be so interested

in its profits or be so dependent upon its favours that there
will be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand,
the great body of people, mentally incapable of comprehending
the tremendous advantage that capital derives from the system,
will bear its burdens without complaint, and perhaps without
even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests.
--The Rothschild brothers of London writing to associates in New
York, 1863.
FADE TO WHITE:
Despite warnings from the most lucid and gifted minds from the
beginnings of this nation, President Woodrow Wilson signed the
1913 Federal Reserve Act, which gave the issuance of currency
and its flow and effects over to the intentions and abuse of
private banking dynasties who so coveted this nation as their
greatest conquest. It soon became their greatest usury, or tax
farm, as only debt is created through the private issuance of a
currency, not credit or any real mode of value-based exchange
between humans.
FADE TO:
A few years later President Wilson wrote in personal memoirs:
I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country.
A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit.
Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation,
therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men.
We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most
completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized
world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a
Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a
Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of
dominant men.
FADE TO:
Others knew of the true and long-term effects of this financial
coup of almost unrecognizable proportions. Industrialists such
as Henry Ford, Founder of the Ford Motor Company, reflected:
It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand
our banking and money system, for if they did, I believe there
would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.
FADE TO PASTEL:
As was the
Napoleonic
effects of
Bonaparte,

current state of manipulation in Europe under the

Wars, there was little misunderstanding of the
privately held systems of banking. For as Napoleon
Emperor of France, in 1815 himself said:

(CONTINUED)

3.
CONTINUED:

When a government is dependent upon bankers for money, they and

not the leaders of the government control the situation, since
the hand that gives is above the hand that takes... Money has no
motherland; financiers are without patriotism and without
decency; their sole object is gain.
FADE TO GOLD:
...The modern theory of the perpetuation of debt has drenched
the earth with blood, and crushed its inhabitants under burdens
ever accumulating.
--Thomas Jefferson
Such has been the history of the most unholy trinity shepherding
the consciousness of mankind for thousands of years: the
Pharisees - the fictions of authority which herds Divine
humanity through the threat and use of violence, and the
creation and enforcement of opinions known as laws; the
Sadducees - the creators, writers of religions, and artful
perverters of Cosmic Law or Divine Providence; and the Magi - a
class within all three aspects of the unholy trinity - these are
the casters of spells through the spelled and spoken word - who
create perceptions and bond you to their realities. They all
serve mammon, or money, as mammon serves them - that which
causes the currents of human consciousness to flow as wished.
Nothing in perception is what it appears to be. Deception is the
way of this world.
EXT. OPEN FIELD - LAFEYETTE COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI - DAY
A thunderstorm rages as a majestic Live Oak close to a bucolic
country home is seen weathering a torrent of rain, gusting winds
over the lawns and fields. A bolt of lightning strikes causing a
large upper branch to fracture and strip to the ground.
SLOW FADE TO
BLACK:
EXT. CEMETARY - LAFEYETTE COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI - DAY
THEODORE NAPOLEON LEFLEUR, early forties, of resolute presence,
humble, direct, stands at the foot of a freshly tilled grave.
Out of focus and behind stands a WOMAN (HALEY PARKER), late
thirties, dressed in black and veiled, face obscured.
THEODORE
(softly, tearing)
You were a good man...
Theodore turns his head to the left, someone else is speaking to
him O.S. Slightly smiling he responds--

INT. THIRD DISTRICT CIRCUIT COURT OF LAFAYETTE COUNTY MISSISSIPPI - DAY
Rapid courtroom images pass as voices and sounds clatter before
order is established.
Theodore is seen preparing at the defense table, alone.
CUT TO:
EXT. THEODORES HOME - LAFEYETTE COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI FLASHBACK
The LeFleur family home. Theodore has renovated which sits on
forty acres of lawn, pasture, and timber. WILLIAM BOND (Billy),
late-sixties, bank officer, corpulent, walks up to the front
door of Theodores home and knocks, somewhat arrogant and
apprehensive, Trustees Deed in hand. A car is seen in the
background, a BANK OFFICER in the passenger seat. No answer.
Knocks again. Footsteps are heard, Theodore opens the door.
BILLY BOND
(holding up Deed)
Mr. LeFleur, I have here a Trustees
Deed from our foreclosure on this
property. The property now belongs to
the Commercial/Rural and Professionals
Bank, and you no longer have any
ownership interest whatsoever. I want
you to vacate immediately. Do you
understand Mr. LeFleur?
Behind Bond can be seen the sheared branch still attached to the
Live Oak.
THEODORE
What the hell are you talking about?
What foreclosure? Ive havent received
any notice. Keep your bullshit, its
paid for and you know it. Now kindly
get the hell off of my property.
BILLY BOND
Are you threatening me?
THEODORE
I dont threaten. I follow through on
all I say.
(MORE)
(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:
THEODORE (CONT'D)
Now, get the fuck off my land or I will
most certainly encourage you. You
received payment in full.

Theodore grabs an old Damascus steel double barrel shotgun by

the inside of the door. Breaks it, polished shells evident.
BILLY BOND
(backing up)
Hey, hey-THEODORE
(smiling)
Oh, I just need to oil her up. Get lost
Bond.
Slams the door.
INT. CAR - CONTINUOUS
Billy gets in, takes a deep breath.
BANK OFFICER
Not as easy as you thought it would be?
Huh?
BILLY BOND
Up yours.
(mumbling)
Aint done yet.
Bond picks up his cell phone, speed dials-BILLY BOND (CONTD)
Judge, get that goddamn eviction order
ready, and put it in the hands of
Marbury by two PM.
(beat; listening)
Uh huh... Dont worry about your damn
problems, I got enough fucking problems
of my own.
INT. COURTROOM - CONTINUOUS
As people mill about, and file into the courtroom, the TWELVE
JURY MEMBERS and TWO ALTERNATES are seen taking their seats as
the COURT REPORTER readies her workplace. Theodore arranges
modest notebooks removed from a leather portfolio.
MONTAGE, FLASHBACK - ARREST AND IMPRISONMENT:
Blurred denim blue and policeman gray scuffling; Theodore seen
worse for the wear in the back of a sheriffs car; his fingers

SAMANTHA WATT, State of Mississippi District Attorney for the
Third District, mid-thirties, attractive, a Chicago native, less
than a year in the South, also prepares her table. The WOODY,
the BAILIFF is also seen in preparation.
CUT TO:
EXT. THEODORES HOME - LAFEYETTE COUNTY - DAY - FLASHBACK
Theodore is outside with a chain saw in hand, hes been trimming
the lightning damaged part from the tree. A Lafayette County
Sheriff's car is seen at a distance pulling onto his drive.
WIDE - left stands Theodore, right Lafayette County Deputy CECIL
MARBURY, heavy-set, mid-40s, a friend since childhood to
Theodore. Remaining by the opened passenger door of the cruiser
is Lafayette County Sheriff OTHA LAVELLE.
CECIL
Hey Theo.
THEODORE
Cecil. Doing alright?
CECIL
Yeah man, cant complain.
(long beat)
Well-THEODORE
Well what Cecil? You and your boys just
do what you feel you have to do.
CECIL
Man, you know I dont want no goddamn
part of this-THEODORE
Then?
CECIL
Then this heres an order to vacate
your land. Your home.
(beat)
Theo. Come on man, no reason to hold
out anymore...
THEODORE
You have no right to be on this land-(CONTINUED)

7.
CONTINUED:

CECIL
Fuck Theo dont make me no cause-As the exchange overlaps, and grows more heated they close
paces. Cecil draws his weapon, muzzle safely away. As they
converge Cecil slowly directs the gun toward Theodore. A second
cruiser, with DEPUTY GARRITY at the wheel, begins pulling up the
driveway.
THEODORE
Please listen to me, look,
you and the Sheriff have no
legal right to be on my land.
That shit in your hand is
fraudulent, and you are
aiding and abetting in that
fraud!
(frustrating beat)
Cecil, I can hold you
personally and fully
responsible for anything that
happens to my home and land!
Listen to what I am saying!
Secure that weapon, I am no
more a threat to you than
your own mother!

CECIL
Awww fuck Theo! Dont make me
have to do this, damn, you
ought to know better, this,
this aint no court, and I
aint no fucking judge, and
my wife will be pissed as all
hell if I got to handle you!
Just take this and get your
ass off this land! Its hard
enough, I dont want to have
to arrest you! Goddamnit
Theo!!
(to his deputies)
Stay the fuck back!
(resume)
Shit! Theo, get, get your
fuckin hands behind your
head on the...

They are at arms length by the end of the exchange. Theodore

pulls quickly inside from past training, controlling the weapon
and Cecils dominance.
A quick set of moves rapidly becomes a static struggle - SLOW
MOTION - the gun discharges wounding Cecils left foot, he falls
hard to his back, Theodore is almost in line between Sheriff
Lavelle and Cecil. As Cecil frees himself from Theodores grip a
second round discharges - Sheriff Lavelle falls back, dead
before hitting the ground with a shot through the neck.
CECIL (CONTD)
Goddamnit! SON-OF-A-BITCH! Awwwwww FUCK
Theo, you stu-pid son-of-a-bitch!
Deputy Garrity rushes toward Theodore with his weapon drawn.
DEPUTY GARRITY
Get on ground, hands behind your head,
now! Now!

INT. COURTROOM - CONTINUOUS
Court comes to order at approximately 9:00 AM on a Monday. The
Bailiff is seen standing by the judges chambers door, fiddling
with the gold fringe on the one American flag.
BAILIFF
All rise. Hear yea, hear yea, hear yea,
The Honorable Winston Jefferson Parker,
Third District Circuit Judge of
Lafayette County.
The courtroom comes to order. WINSTON JEFFERSON PARKER, earlyseventies, African-American, a man of noticeable appearance and
demeanor, emerges from his chambers, approaches the bench and is
seated.
WINSTON
That was one of the most entertaining
jury selections Ive had the
displeasure to observe. Things are
running late enough, are we ready?
BAILIFF
Yes, your honor.
WINSTON
Read the charges.
BAILIFF
The Grand Jury of Lafayette County
returned an indictment against Theodore
Napoleon LeFleur for One Count Felony
Murder of a Law Enforcement Officer,
Sheriff Otha Lavelle, on the first day
of April, 2014; and a Second Count of
Attempted Murder of a Law Officer,
against Deputy Cecil Marbury while in
the possession of a concealed weapon.
WINSTON
Mr. LeFleur how do you plead to these
charges as stated, guilty or not
guilty?
THEODORE
I make no pleading, because I am
innocent of all charges, as the charges
are fraudulent. And as a true Sovereign
I was protecting my property of which I
have legal title.

(CONTINUED)

9.
CONTINUED:

WINSTON
Well, since you wont enter a plea The
Court will enter a pleading for you of not guilty. And while on the
subject, why havent you got a defense
attorney?
THEODORE
My attorney insisted on a plea bargain,
so I fired him. My experience has been
a good defense attorney will take my
money and lie. Both to the court and to
me.
(beat)
Your Honor, I thought Judge Fulbright
was supposed to hear this case?
SAMANTHA
Hes been recused from the case, your
Honor, due to external conflicts
dealing with another-WINSTON
(determined)
Judge Fulbright is on another case.
(beat)
We will proceed on this case.
SAMANTHA
I have no objection your Honor.
THEODORE
As long as its in Equity I have no
problem.
TIGHT - Winstons expression of surprise at Theodores
recognition of that status.
WINSTON
(guarded, interested)
We will proceed.
(to Bailiff)
Swear Mr. LeFleur in will you?
Theodore walks to the witness stand and the Bailiff approaches
with the Bible. In a surprise, Theodore takes the Bible from the
hands of the Bailiff, leafs through it for five or more seconds,
and says-THEODORE
This wont do.
Reactions of the Jury, Gallery, and all are seen.

(CONTINUED)

10.
CONTINUED:

WINSTON
Whats wrong with that, Mr. LeFleur? It
is a Bible, isnt it?
THEODORE
This is not the authorized version,
your Honor.
CLOSE - Expression of juror number 2 is seen, BRANDON MAYNARD,
late fifties, Baptist Minister, Bible conservative.
Winston pushes a version atop his bench toward the Bailiff to
give to Theodore.
WINSTON
Will this one do?
Bailiff takes and presents it, Theodore again equally peruses-THEODORE
(intent, humble)
Thank you sir. We are equal before G-d.
Winston gives a reserved, agreeing nod. The Jury appears
confused yet interested along with Gallery. Winston stares at
Bailiff.
WINSTON
(respectful, in position)
Then we can continue, but before we do,
Woody, can you please remove the United
States flag from the courtroom? Thank
you.
Winston stands, stretches, then removes his black robe, folds it
and drapes it on the bench next to the official Bible, then
slides the Bible to the right side of the bench-INSERT - CLOSE: Four Freemasonry pins on an inside lapel.
[WRITERS NOTE: Determine most revealing combination to
support.] Reactions of the Jury and Gallery again are seen.
WINSTON (CONTD)
(to Samantha)
You may start your questioning Ms.
Watt.
SAMANTHA
(somewhat confused)
Your Honor?
WINSTON
Yes? After all, we are in the state of
Mississippi, arent we?

(CONTINUED)

11.
CONTINUED:

SAMANTHA
(further confused)
Never mind your Honor.
(long beat)
Mr. LeFleur, youve been charged with
some very serious crimes, felony murder
of Sheriff Otha Lavelle, and Attempted
Murder of Deputy Cecil Marbury-THEODORE
(beat)
Are you serious?
SAMANTHA
Yes. It is serious. Very serious.
THEODORE
Cecils injury was a self-inflicted
wound and it was him who killed Sheriff
Lavelle.
SAMANTHA
Now how is that so?
THEODORE
Was it my gun?
SAMANTHA
No. But you attacked Deputy Sheriff
Marbury.
THEODORE
He had a drawn weapon. And I have the
right to protect myself and my property
from trespassers.
SAMANTHA
You were charged with having a
concealed weapon, werent you?
THEODORE
Would you like to show the court that
concealed weapon? Its in your Evidence
List as States Exhibit number three.
SAMANTHA
Yes, it is...
THEODORE
Will you please show it to the court?
She fumbles about in some file boxes, and has it brought
forward. The Jury is shown.

(CONTINUED)

12.
CONTINUED:

THEODORE (CONTD)
Are you calling that a concealed
weapon? A chain saw file? I was
sharpening the chain of my chain saw
when the Sheriff arrived. How could it
be concealed if it was in my hand?
Laughter in the Gallery and Jury box.
SAMANTHA
Lets move on. We have a court order
for your eviction and removal from the
property-THEODORE
Undoubtedly this was done ex-parte and
I had no notice of this action. The
court order is illegal. No one had any
grounds to have me evicted from my
property. I owe no one any money. It
has been paid in full. And as a true
Sovereign I have the right to protect
my property.
SAMANTHA
Mr. LeFleur, what do you mean as a
true Sovereign you have the right to
protect your property? What is a true
Sovereign?
THEODORE
As I have patent rights to my name,
with a recorded Power of Attorney,
naming me the Attorney-In-Fact for
myself, which means I am living, I am
in Equity and I have the Equitable
ownership in my property.
SAMANTHA
We have a sworn affidavit by the
Commercial/Rural And Professionals
Bank, from the CFO Mr. William Bond,
that this property was foreclosed on
because you were in arrears and not
making payments on your property.
THEODORE
The property was paid for in full.
SAMANTHA
By what means?
THEODORE
It was paid in full by the proper
negotiable instrument.

(CONTINUED)

13.
CONTINUED:

SAMANTHA
Did you pay by cash transfer or check?
THEODORE
(emphatically, polite)
By negotiable instrument. Do you know
what that is?
SAMANTHA
Was that by cash or check?
THEODORE
Please look up in UCC, Articles three,
and four.
SAMANTHA
What is UCC Mr. LeFleur?
THEODORE
(intently)
Uniform Commercial Code. You, the code
of commerce? Uniform. Commercial. Code.
You are an attorney, arent you, Ms.
Watt? Dont you know what the Uniform
Commercial Code is?
SAMANTHA
Can you explain to the court, Mr.
LeFleur, how you made the payment in
full?
THEODORE
Its very simple, I filled out the
statement as a negotiable bill, and
returned it to the bank for payment.
SAMANTHA
We have no record of that.
THEODORE
I suggest you check the bank records
again. It has been discharged. In full.
SAMANTHA
What bank was it drawn on?
THEODORE
The United States Treasury.
SAMANTHA
(goading)
Oh, so now you are some sort of secret
operative, I imagine. A Sovereign
secret agent at that... Mr. La Fleur?
And how much was it for?

(CONTINUED)

14.
CONTINUED:

THEODORE
For the balance of three-hundred eightyseven thousand, forty-nine dollars,
seventy-seven cents.
SAMANTHA
Yes, as if youd have that kind of
money?
WINSTON
Ms. Watt, please keep your opinions to
yourself, and only deal with the facts,
is that understood?
She concedes with a nod.
SAMANTHA
Mr. LeFleur, have you used your,
negotiable instruments, elsewhere?
THEODORE
Of course I have. I used it in Canada
to pay off my Visa card.
SAMANTHA
And for what amount?
THEODORE
A little over twenty-eight thousand
dollars.
Samantha is for a moment stymied, she has no precedent to base
within her body of knowledge.
SAMANTHA
(sardonically)
Mr. LeFluer, I put to you, that this is
one big story you have concocted to
deceive this court and divert attention
from yourself.
WINSTON
Remember Ms. Watt, as you have been
previously warned, the court does not
want to hear your opinion - just the
facts.
THEODORE
Ive made this statement before, it has
been paid... from the U.S. Treasury-Winstons deciphered Samanthas direction, cuts her off before
she can do any more damage to herself. Scan Jury Member faces.

15.
CONTINUED:

WINSTON
(intently, quickly)
Ms. Watt, Mr. LeFleur, were going to
adjourn court for lunch and reconvene
this afternoon, this alright with both
of yall? Well reconvene at one-thirty
this afternoon.
SAMANTHA
Thank you, your Honor.
THEODORE
Woody, would you please take the jury
to the jury room. See that lunch is
ordered. This court is adjourned until
one-thirty this afternoon.
BAILIFF
All rise!
Winston gathers his robe and Bible, and retires resolutely to
his chambers. Samantha appears relieved.
INT. COURTROOM - LATER
Afternoon rituals observed, the court has resumed. Theodore is
still on the stand.
WINSTON
Hope everyone had a good lunch, and
some time to themselves. Shall we, Ms.
Watt?
SAMANTHA
Mr. LeFleur, can you please explain for
the edification of the jury members
what paperwork you generated concerning
this... UCC negotiable instrument?
THEODORE
UCC Codes, United States Law, and
International Law concern the transfer
of money and is upheld by international
treaty. A negotiable instrument to
discharge my liability with the bank,
which the Commercial/Rural And
Professionals Bank has not honored, has
been presented to the bank, but the
bank has obviously dishonored this
instrument, and is liable for penalties
under the law. Mr. William Bond, of the
bank should know of this banking law,
because he is the Chief Financial
Officer.

(CONTINUED)

16.
CONTINUED:

SAMANTHA
We have an affidavit from Mr. Bond
stating that your document is
fraudulent.
THEODORE
If he knows his business, and sent it
to the U.S. Treasury, hed realize its
a negotiable instrument. But I have no
idea where he sent it, but I personally
delivered it to Mr. Bond.
SAMANTHA
Well Mr. LeFleur, where does this
imaginary money come from?
THEODORE
(haggard, annoyed)
It comes from my Cestui Que Vie Trust.
Held and jointly administered by the
U.S. Treasury and others.
CLOSE - Jury Foreman, HENRY PECK, Juror Number 12, earlyfifties, pharmacist, is seen confirming with a gentle nod and
intense gaze.
Samantha has nowhere to paint him other than in a corner of her
own incredulity.
SAMANTHA
Pardon, does this have something to do
with French law now?
(in her best French)
Monsieur Theodore Napoleon LeFleur?
THEODORE
Its not French, its English Law,
since 1666, and its used around the
world. It is a, special type, of Trust.
SAMANTHA
Do you have one of these so-called
Trusts?
THEODORE
Yes Ms. Watt, everyone has one.
SAMANTHA
(condescending)
This is all very interesting Mr.
LeFleur, but how do you know all of
this you are presenting - oh your
Honor?
WINSTON
Yes?
(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

SAMANTHA
I dont see where all of this is going?
I dont-THEODORE
Youre the one asking the questions.
WINSTON
That is correct, Ms. Watt, you are the
one who opened the door to this line of
questioning. Furthermore, Ill deal
with what is allowed or disallowed, and
the relevance that may be established
in the fullness of time, its at my
discretion, since I AM the Judge.
Continue.
SAMANTHA
Yes.
THEODORE
Yes. It is.
SAMANTHA
Where exactly did you get this nonsense
from?
THEODORE
Nonsense? This is not nonsense, any
more than the agreed to fact that you
are standing in front of me, right
here, right now.
SAMANTHA
(to Theodore)
What is your source of information for
this name?
THEODORE
Objection, Your Honor, that question
has been asked and answered already.
WINSTON
Sustained.
SAMANTHA
Mr. LeFleur what is your educational
background with regard to this matter
and the information you are testifying
to?
THEODORE
Graduated summa cum laude with a BS in
Aerospace Engineering from Arizona
State.

THEODORE (CONT'D)
I have spent 14 years in the United
States Marine Corps, as a pilot,
serving this nation, and I was
introduced to some very interesting
people in the latter part of my career,
who educated me further on these
matters.

SAMANTHA
Who exactly would that be, Mr. LeFleur?
THEODORE
An Ambassador.
SAMANTHA
And what is that Ambassadors matter?
THEODORE
Im not at liberty to say. Thats
private information.
SAMANTHA
Why is it private?
THEODORE
Its classified, information.
SAMANTHA
Oh, your Honor! More distraction, more
delusion from this, this Sovereign, so
is he some kind of operative, or more
bullshit--?
WINSTON
Enough Ms. Watt! Language!
SAMANTHA
Yes, your Honor. Sorry your Honor...
WINSTON
(to Theodore)
Mr. LeFleur, can you provide us with
some type of evidence that this is
classified information, or, can you
provide us with a witness in regard to
the classification of this information
and why it cannot be discussed? It may
be to your advantage.
THEODORE
Yes I think I can do that your Honor.

INT. JURY ROOM - LATER

In the sparsely decorated jury room is seen a gold-fringed flag

HENRY
It is interesting.
FRED
What in hell is a UCC?
HENRY
Ive heard about this stuff. The Cestui
Que Vie Trust part too.
Judy takes particular notice while stirring coffee.
FRED
A chain saw file?
HENRY
Oh, Id be scared if I came across him
with that in his hand. Petrified. When

jail, Im hungry, how about yall?
JUSTIN COLEMAN, late forties, Cattle Foreman, Juror Number 10-JUSTIN

Cestui Que Vie? How do you say that?
Hard enough. English. I just dont see
what that has to do with murder?
HENRY
Not entirely sure with it has to do
with either but if that trust thingy is
what I think it is, its been around a
long time and its also been called the
Global Trust, the St. Germaine Trust,
the Divine Trust, Alpha-Omega Trust,
crazy things like SwissIndo, OPPT, and
some other names I cant even say. Its
hard to pin down. Ive read a great
deal about the idea, dont really
understand what it all means. Hard to
find good information on it. Not
impossible. Of course everyone assumes
all of the information in the world is
available at a keyboard, and that what
they find is true. Most. But not the
most important things.

Different from Croatia, yes?

Thats what Id like to speak with you
about. I, have something Id like to
ask you.

Ivan, do you love the Church?
IVAN
Yes Father.
FATHER JUDASZ
Good, Ivan. Because, what I would like
to ask of you, is not easy to say. But
first, how is your brothers
immigration case coming along?
IVAN
Not so well. They still have questions
of war crimes with him. But he is
innocent. This I know.
FATHER JUDASZ
Ivan, we, the Church, feel that this
trial that you are on the jury of,
because of the nature of it, could, and
I dont like to say this - reflect
unfairly on the Church.

How?

IVAN
Father... Im forbidden to speak of
this trial. To anyone... I could-FATHER JUDASZ
You know how the U.S. Immigration
Service can be, we all do, we see how
fickle it all can be. Those crossing
the Southern border are given
everything, yet an engineer like your
brother... I wouldnt want for him to
have any more difficulty with
emigrating here. You know how hard
Ive, weve, helped...
IVAN
(slightly apprehensive)
What is this, for?
FATHER JUDASZ
Its very simple Ivan. The Archdiocese
in Jackson would be very grateful. They
have - influence. And your brother
would surely be able to help you with
your business. Build a new life for
himself, and yours even better. All you
have to do is come to confession. There
you can tell me simply how the trial is
going. Okay?

WINSTON (CONTD)
Ms. Watt?
SAMANTHA
Yes your Honor, I am finished with Mr.
LeFleur, but reserve the right to call
him on redirect at a later time. I
would like to continue by calling my
next witness to the stand, Sheriff
Cecil Marbury, who was appointed
Sheriff by the Governor, to replace
deceased Sheriff Otha Lavelle.
Cecil approaches the stand with his hat still on his head and
takes his seat with a cane and slightly affected limp.
WINSTON
Sheriff, please remove your hat in the
courtroom, thank you.
Cecil removes his hat and is sworn in by the Bailiff - on the
first Bible.
SAMANTHA
Identify yourself for the record.
CECIL
Cecil James Marbury. Deputy Sheriff
Lafayette County, Mississippi. No, I am
the Sheriff now, Governor appointed me.
SAMANTHA
Sheriff Marbury, Im going to ask you
questions concerning the death of
Sheriff Lavelle and the traumatic
experience when you were injured. First
though, lets deal with Sheriff Otha
Lavelle being killed on April, 1 2014.
(heavy beat)
Sheriff Marbury can you explain the
circumstances of the events that
occurred when Sheriff Lavelle was
killed?
CECIL
Sheriff Lavelle and myself were in the
process of serving an eviction order to
remove Theodore LeFleur from the house
and property.
SAMANTHA
Okay, Sheriff Marbury, can you continue
to explain what happened next?

(CONTINUED)

CECIL
(apprehensive beat)
Ah. Well. A confrontation commenced and
Theo started fighting me, and when he
wrestled my weapon away from me, it
discharged with the bullet hitting
Sheriff Lavelle in the heart, killing a
good man.
(affected emotion, yet
real, beat)
And he fell dead. He fell back dead.
SAMANTHA
And what happened next, Sheriff
Marbury?
CECIL
The second time my gun fired was when I
was hit in the foot by a .45 caliber
wad cutter bullet.
SAMANTHA
What exactly is a wad cutter bullet?
CECIL
Well, its one of these...
(pulls one of his belt)
This here.
He shows the bullet, the serrated edge of the jacket opening,
And hands it to Samantha.
SAMANTHA
Your Honor, I would like to place this
in as a States exhibit number four to
show the jury an example of the type of
bullet that was fired from the gun that
killed Sheriff Lavelle and wounded now
Sheriff Marbury.
She takes the bullet from Marbury and hands it to the Court
Reporter who hands it to Winston, who then hands it back-WINSTON
Mark this as States exhibit number

The Court Reporter then hands it back to Samantha, and she asks
Winston-SAMANTHA
May I approach the Jury your Honor.
He nods yes, she hands it to Henry to pass on to the Jury.

SAMANTHA (CONTD)
Now, you called the defendant Theo?
Do you usually know felony murderers
personally?
CECIL
Yes maam, well no maam, I dont
usually know any felony murderers
personally, but, we grew up together.
Theo went to college, then into the
service; so did I, military I mean,
reserve military, but I became a
Sheriffs Deputy. Then I was appointed
Sheriff.
SAMANTHA
Would you call yourself a good friend
to Mr. LeFleur?
CECIL
Well up until this incident, yes maam.
When he came back home, well, we used
to socialize now and then, my wife and
I know him pretty well. But, we got on
fine. Not a lot of time together, but
fine.
SAMANTHA
Cecil, can you tell us what happened
next?
CECIL
Finally Deputy Sheriff Garrity
approached ordering the defendant to
get on the ground and put his hands
behind his back, and to not move.
SAMANTHA
Why did you draw your gun against the
defendant?
CECIL
Well. Ahh, he had a lethal weapon in
his hand. Well, he set down his chain
saw but still had a file in his hand...
he was intimidating me. I had imminent
fear that he was going cause me bodily
harm.
SAMANTHA
Did the defendant attack you first?
CECIL
I told you he was coming at me with a
weapon. I told him to drop it but he
didnt.

might have the option to re-attach it.
Highly doubt it, but...
No answer.

it poured blood, but I didnt see no
toe.

Court Attendant performs her duty. Samantha takes the boot and
sticks her arm in as if she were putting it in a crock of shit.
With some difficulty finally penetrates the hole in the toe of
the boot.
SAMANTHA
Have you suffered as a result of your
injuries from that day?
CECIL
Oh yes maam. I certainly have. Dont
know how my wife can stand me nowadays.
Its been kind of difficult to tell the
truth.

I bet it has been. Thank you Sheriff
Marbury.

Your witness.
Theodore approaches the podium.
THEODORE
Thank you. Hello Sheriff. Marbury. Id
like to ask you something. Would you
please remove your boots and socks and
show us all how difficult it is to walk
now?
Cecil is taken aback, apprehensive with this request.
SAMANTHA
Objection your Honor!
WINSTON
Objection overruled, I want to see how
this mans mobility has been affected
too.

THEODORE
Sheriff Marbury, would you please walk

box and back?
Cecil acquiesces, pauses, then rises and performs the task. His
walking appearance-wise is fine, no discernible limp, yet big
toe of left foot is missing.
THEODORE (CONTD)
Thank you Sheriff Marbury.
Cecil re-dons his socks and boots, trouble due to corpulence,
having to put his boot and his feet on the witness chair.
THEODORE (CONTD)
Isnt it true that you didnt have to
draw your weapon because the Sheriff
was there, armed, and backing you up?
CECIL
Yes, I did have to draw my weapon
cause you had a weapon in your hand
and I was afraid for my life...
THEODORE
Cecil, you knew what I would do. And
how I would react to a potentially
lethal environment. Didnt you?
CECIL
Yeah, but was just doing my job.
THEODORE
Pulling your gun on me, to evict me off
the property.
(beat)
Who signed the eviction order for you
to remove me from my land and home?
CECIL
Judge Fulbright.
THEODORE
Isnt it true that the eviction order
you tried to forcefully serve me, was
fraudulent?
CECIL
What do you mean by that?
THEODORE
What it means, Cecil, is that the
eviction order was not real because
there was never a eviction action filed
against me with the court.
(CONTINUED)

38.
CONTINUED:

SAMANTHA
Objection your Honor, Mr. LeFleur was
served with process in the eviction
action. He was served a summons and a
copy of the complaint by the Sheriffs
office. Its not anyones fault but his
own he didnt show up for court.
WINSTON
Ms. Watt, Im going to have to overrule
your objection at this time, unless
you have court documents and you are
going to place them into evidence.
THEODORE
Sheriff Marbury, isnt it true that you
never served me any notice or summons
in regard to an eviction action against
me?
CECIL
Ahh, ah, No. I dont remember. Maybe
one of the other deputies served you.
Youll have to ask them.
SAMANTHA
(cupping her face, quietly)
Oh, fuck.
WINSTON
What?
In a quick retort, thinking Winston heard her remark-SAMANTHA
Yes, your Honor?
WINSTON
No, Ms. Watt, I was referring to
Sheriff Marburys statement.
CECIL
(responding to Winston)
I was told by Judge Fulbright to
execute that order that day and remove
Theodore from his property...
SAMANTHA
(turning head away,
quietly)
Fuuuuuuuuk... son-of-a-bitch...

WINSTON (CONTD)
Ms. Watt, do you think its enough time

the goddamned transcript or court
records even exist for that matter?
Pissed, Winston slams gavel and immediately retires to his
chambers without waiting for the Bailiff to dismiss the court.
INT. COMMERCIAL/RURAL AND PROFESSIONALS BANK - DAY
While on lunch from the morning session, Theodore requires
documents to be notarized by a bank employee. He enters the

He knows it. I know it. Hes bout as

Woody, lets continue on.
BAILIFF
All rise!
WINSTON
(scanning)
Are we ready? Good. Lets continue.
THEODORE
Your Honor, could you ask the District
Attorney whether or not she has located
the court records concerning the
eviction action? I was hoping to
confirm... whether or not it ever
happened.
SAMANTHA
That courts staff is working on that.
WINSTON
Okay, Ms. Watt you have until tomorrow
to locate those documents, or, there
will be some exclusions of evidence
that you have already placed in the
record.

WINSTON (CONT'D)

Is there any other witness you want to
call Mr. LeFleur?

THEODORE
Well, yes your Honor. As I cant
examine the court records just yet.
Then Id like to call William... James
Bond to the stand.
SAMANTHA
Objection, your Honor...
WINSTON
On what grounds, Ms. Watt?
SAMANTHA
Hes not ready, your Honor...
WINSTON
In what way Ms. Watt? I see him in
witness room.
SAMANTHA
Hes... hes not attired properly...
WINSTON
Overruled. I want the man. Not the
suit. Bailiff, please call Mr. Bond to
the stand.
BAILIFF
Mr. William, James Bond to the stand!
William comes forth dressed like a tourist in the tropics - loud
floral shirt, loose-fitting shorts, long dark socks, dark
leather gravity-worn sandals.
Winston gestures to the Bailiff to his bench and gives him his
very special Bible.
WINSTON
Swear him in on this one, thank you.
BAILIFF
Yes sir.
Bailiff walks back to the witness box and swears in Billy. Bond,
nervous, also takes the Bible from the attendant-BAILIFF (CONTD)
Do you swear to-BILLY BOND

Of course Ill swear on the damn Bible.
Who wouldnt?

start your questioning Mr. LeFleur.
THEODORE
Thank you. Mr. Bond. May I call you by
your given name: William? Or would you
be more comfortable-BILLY BOND
You can call me Billy. Just Billy...
THEODORE
Do you have a middle, name?
BILLY BOND
Yes. I do.
THEODORE
What is it?
BILLY BOND
Is that necessary?
THEODORE

Its only for the record. I had to give
mine...
BILLY BOND
Its James.

THEODORE (CONT'D)
James, Bond, I should say Billy can,
you tell us what qualifications you
have to a Chief Financial Officer in a
bank?

BILLY BOND
I went to Ole Miss and got my degree
in commerce and business and then I
went to work for the bank and worked my
way up. Over the years.
THEODORE
Is there any special training to become
a Chief Financial Officer in a bank?
BILLY BOND
I was a product of in-house training.
THEODORE
Did you glean experience or expertise
from the activities of the big banks
like Chase or Wells Fargo?
BILLY BOND
No.
THEODORE
So your experience is limited to the
bank you have worked for the past few
decades?
BILLY BOND
Yes. I go to a lot of banking
functions...
THEODORE
So you know about international law and
treaties, and the such?
BILLY BOND
Mainly U.S. Law. With regard to
banking, of course.
THEODORE
Okay, fair enough. So does then the
Bills of Exchange Act, say, enacted in
Canada, apply to the U.S.?
BILLY BOND
Heck no. We have proper laws and such
to deal with America.
THEODORE
Does the UCC apply here?

(CONTINUED)

46.
CONTINUED:

BILLY BOND
I believe so. Yes. They are American
laws...
THEODORE
Have you compared UCC with other
countries laws like Canada or the
United Kingdoms Bills of Exchange Act,
for example, to see if they are
harmonious with the U.S.?
BILLY BOND
Theyre American laws... why would I
want to do that?
THEODORE
Well, Billy, can you explain to your
bosses why not?
Bond falls into silence.
THEODORE (CONTD)
In your affidavit you claimed my
negotiable instrument, often called a
bill of exchange, was a fraud and you
trashed it...
BILLY BOND
Yes sir, it is garbage Mr. FaFleur...
THEODORE
Garbage, huh? Thank you, Mr. Bond, that
was exactly the answer I was fishing
for.
BILLY BOND
(proudly dispossessed)
What?!
SAMANTHA
(aroused from distraction)
Yes?
WINSTON
Please... Continue.
Theodore goes to his table, picks up a document.
THEODORE
(smiling)
Thank you, sir. Mr. Bond, I have here a
certified copy of the original
negotiable instrument which was
notarized at the time of record, do you
recognize the document?

(CONTINUED)

47.
CONTINUED:

BILLY BOND
Ahhh. It might be like what I saw. Hard
to... cant be sure.
THEODORE
It is quite unique. So. This is the
copy that you saw?
BILLY BOND
I guess it is. Youre saying it is.
THEODORE
I guess it is... good, see that line
there? It reads, GIVEN FOR A PATENT
RIGHT.
BILLY BOND
I have never seen that term used in our
documents, never. Not familiar with it.
THEODORE
Thats right, Billy, thats in the
Canadian Bills of Exchange Act. It must
be on the document or it is void.
BILLY BOND
But thats in Canada.
THEODORE
Yes. Billy. Its hidden in plain sight
in the Canadian act, but there are
international agreements that the U.S.
is a party to-BILLY BOND
Who gives a shit about Canada?
THEODORE
Do you know what that term means--!?
WINSTON
Mr. Bond. Language! That goes for
everyone! Next offender will be held in
contempt!
(under his breath)
For the fucking love of G-d...
THEODORE
What does it mean?
BILLY BOND
Ahh, no. Im not a lawyer. Neither are
you. We have experts to do that.
THEODORE
So do the Canadians Billy. So do they.

From the back of the Gallery a CELL PHONE is heard ringing,

Perry Mason theme, AGENT SMITH, U.S. Treasury Agent, handsome,
African-American, suit, jet-black fine fabric, luminescent white
shirt, fumbles his phone, silences. Winston appears annoyed.
TIGHT - Agent Smith, somewhat embarrassed.
WINSTON
No cellphones either! Switch it off
please.
AGENT SMITH
Sorry sir, its a new one and still
trying to work it all out. Blackberry.
And all...
WINSTON
Turn it off. Sit down somewhere.
AGENT SMITH
Sorry. Very sorry. Theres, ahhh...
Winston scans the room, seeing no vacant seating. He invites him

Thank you. Sir.
WINSTON
You look familiar. Do I know you?
AGENT SMITH
No sir. First time in your court.
WINSTON
Thought so. Mr. LeFleur, continue.
Theodore is distracted by Winstons move, Samanthas eyes are
glued to the Agent Smith, the Jury appears to have mixed
emotions, Billy now appears more apprehensive.

Samantha knocks on his door.
WINSTON
Enter.
SAMANTHA
What was that all about? Sir?
Winston is seated behind his desk, reaches over and picks up the
Bible.
WINSTON
A little Southern hospitality.
Winston opens the front cover of the Bible, the lid, exposing
that it's a box containing six top quality cigars, takes one out
and starts to light it. Samantha is confused, somewhat amazed.
SAMANTHA
Where is this case going?
Samantha now sees the Bible is a cigar box and the penny drops;
an expression of confusion and apprehension grips her face.
Winston pours a few fingers of whiskey in a tumbler.
WINSTON
Bonds a dumb son-of-a-bitch. Hes not
even on the right page, or-SAMANTHA
Hes going to ruin my case.
WINSTON
Correction Samantha, this is not your
case, youre just the DA that got stuck
with it. Who did you piss off in
Jackson? Or wherever? Where are you
from, anyway?
SAMANTHA
Chicago. Im originally from Chicago.
Moved to Jackson six months ago. What
do you mean by who did I piss off?
WINSTON
No one wanted this case. Did they? You
see, this is my last case. Then I
retire.

the boot on this case?
SAMANTHA
No. Not before I was assigned the case.
WINSTON
He was involved in the Oregon Savings
Housing Investment Trust debacle, you

SAMANTHA
Oh. Shit. Yeah. Okay, that one too.
WINSTON

far more severe matter. Tennessee
Childrens Protective Services?
WINSTON (CONTD)
Kids for cash?

SAMANTHA
Kids for cash.

SAMANTHA
Yes.
WINSTON
Yes. Its a toxic case, and you werent
told. The no good bastard and a few
friends were padding the juvenile
detention centers in Tennessee with
plenty of juveniles. Kids for cash. Ms.
Watt?

How did you know about that?
SAMANTHA
My... husband. Hes a lawyer*for
the Apostolic Nunciature to the United
States. The Vatican Embassy.

You should maybe get a cup of coffee
before we resume. Its on me.
SAMANTHA
Thanks. I need it.
Winston smiles. Samantha exits his chambers. Winston downs his

Mr. Bond sees a doctor?
WINSTON
If Mr. Bond wants medical assistance he
can ask for himself. Mr. LeFleur please

THEODORE
Billy, earlier you said that the
instrument was a fraud, what did you
mean by that?
BILLY BOND
It is.
THEODORE
Please explain to the jury why that is?
BILLY BOND
You cant just sign it and send it back
and expect me to pay it.
THEODORE
Did I tell you to pay it?
BILLY BOND
Who else will? Its not going to be me,
I mean the bank. I have to protect the
bank from people like you.
THEODORE
I like that. I really like that,
people like you. People like you.
Dont you mean people who know the

Billy, the bank, the bank you are
employed by, the bank that pays your
salary, is obligated to return any
defective financial instruments back to
the issuer within a reasonable time,
normally three business days.

BILLY BOND
Where did you get that insane idea, on
something like that?
THEODORE
The Uniform Commercial Code. Did you
return it?
BILLY BOND
I shi-ca... throwed it in the trash.
THEODORE
So you do that with checks that have
insufficient funds? Dont you?
Slight laughter erupts in the courtroom. Billy realizes hes
boxed in.
THEODORE (CONTD)
After the three day rule its
considered accepted. Therefore... paid
in full. Correct?
BILLY BOND
Well, not if its lost or destroyed. If
youve sent another one and Ill see if
its genuine.
THEODORE
That wont be necessary.
Billy appears relieved.
THEODORE (CONTD)

it all.
GORDON
They wouldnt know the truth if it bit
them on the ass.
THEODORE
A lot of attention on the internet and
now media. I really didnt want that.
Its, just another mess building up.
GORDON
Remember the movie, Article 99?
Theres a quote that says something to
the effect that shit always floats to
the top.
THEODORE
Gordon, the deception is so vast, so
incalculable to the minds of those so
under the spell of their masters. If I
took someone, and asked them, what if
there was an ongoing fraud against
humanity of such vast proportions that
it took many brilliant minds decades to
clearly decipher to this present day?
Would you listen to what I had to say?
Or, is this fraud so extensive that the
nature of it would be lost in the
ignorance, cloudiness, and
defensiveness this fraud creates and
fosters to perpetuate itself? Would it
be heard in the everyday chaos? The
elite and artful employ this camouflage
- controlled simplicity against vague
complexity - more pyramids within
pyramids.
GORDON
Its just like the Truman show;
scripted from above, and no one
suspects they are pawns in the game.
They think its real. People think the
President is real, for example - but
hes just reading his script.

personal?
SAMANTHA
Why not?

Because sometimes its out of, moral,

EXT. THEODORES LAND - MORNING
Theodore is seen picking a bundle of wildflowers at sunrise from
his land, his truck parked on the side of the road.
EXT. COURTHOUSE - DAY
Day 3. A single Memphis television crew is seen setting up
outside the courthouse on North Lamar Boulevard. People file
past and inside.
INT. COURTHOUSE, BREAK AREA - DAY
Woody is seated at a table, Winston dips in to get some coffee.
A television runs another report on the bombing.
WOODY
You should see the news report. Theyve
identified the victim of that car
bombing.
WINSTON
I saw something about that this
morning.
WOODY
Yeah, its some English Lord.
WINSTON
Lets pick this up later Woody, got to
get things going in a few...

INT. COURTROOM - LATER

Everyone is in their places, court is already in session.
Theodore is at his table, a vase of his wildflowers adorns the
table. Gallery is again full, more media evident.
Winston quickly glances up at the courtroom, and is oddly
transfixed by the vase of wildflowers-CUT TO:
EXT. PARKER FARMLAND - DAY - FLASHBACK
It is 1953. WINSTON, age 12, is seen in the distance walking
along a field-fence lined dirt road with fishing gear; bamboo
pole, cork bobbers, etc. To the right is a beautiful field of
wildflowers, to the left grass filling to the treeline.
Butterflies and dragonflies dodge about.
Tracking his walk muted sounds of voices engaged in a scuffle
are heard. Winston tosses his fishing rod over the fence into
the wildflowers, then scales over.
EXT. PARKER FARMLAND - CONTINUOUS
Winston crawls to the fence line further on through the
wildflowers. He emerges to the see his father surrounded by five
men as a sixth man, CHARLES WILLIAM (C. W.) BURNS, William
Bond's father, dismounts a horse brandishing a pistol. Winstons
father, PARKER, is the man surrounded by FOUR MEN.
C.W. BURNS
Told that negro motherfucker time and
time agin not to throw no more scrap,
no more shit and metal all on my
fuckin side of the cut. My side of the
line!
PARKER
My side! My side of the cut! I own to
where I put anything!
C.W. BURNS
Naw son, that aint the way it is-MAN 1
A good beatin ought to get it-C.W. BURNS
Beatin. Naw...
MAN 2
(almost whining)
Make this fast, Ellas been bitchin at
me all--

(CONTINUED)

66.
CONTINUED:

From the far side of the horse, C.W. Burns pulls a ring of sour
rope from a saddle bag, chewing tobacco spit on his chin.
C.W. BURNS
(angry, nervous)
Goddamned right Bobby! Aint got the
time either. No law against this shit.
The MAN 4 among them laughs. Winston's father tries to bolt and
is tackled and beaten by the four on foot.
EXT. - FENCELINE - CONTINUOUS
Winston hears his father screaming in mortal fear, muffled by
the assault. Hes frozen in terror.
RESUME - LYNCHING
As Winston's father is seen with hands tied behind his back,
gagged, feet tied, flat on his face - the tied collar bounces of
his back after thrown over an oak branch. One of the men settles
it snug around his father's neck, face mottled with blood,
sweat, bruises - and flowing tears.
TIGHT - HORN OF SADDLE; as C.W. Burns hands secure the rope.
RESUME - WINSTON
As Winston, in tears, flinches violently at the slap to the
horses hind quarter.
MAN 3
Yaaaaah!
(beat)
Whoa, girl!
Man 1 ties off the rope to a fence post as the others quickly
disburse. A swaying body from the waist down is seen, urine
stained, feces dripping down over the heel of one shoe. C.W.
Burns rides off.
FADE TO WHITE:
INT. COURTROOM - RESUME
THEODORE
Your Honor, Id like to call a witness.
SAMANTHA
Objection, your Honor. Whatever
happened to courtroom protocol?

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

WINSTON
Ms. Watt, do you have any further
witnesses that youd like to call at
this time?
SAMANTHA
Your Honor, could we have a short
recess, in order that we may have an in
chambers meeting outside of the ear of
the jury?
INT. WINSTONS CHAMBERS
Samantha has the pallor and demeanor of long nights and lost
time.
SAMANTHA
Sir, I have no fucking idea where this
is all going, let alone what the hell
is going on in what was what I thought
a pretty straightforward case. Now, I
do know why Im here. I think? I dont
know? I feel like I have been
torpedoed.
She takes a breath.
SAMANTHA (CONTD)
If youre going to allow Mr. LeFleur to
start his case on direct, then I want
to request that the court allow the
state to call additional witnesses at a
later time.
WINSTON
That sounds like an Equitable solution.
Now do you feel better?
INT. COURTROOM - RESUME
WINSTON
Call your witness Mr. LeFleur. Lets
get on with this.
SAMANTHA
(staring back, beat)
A case goes from criminal to Equity in
the switch of a Bible? How can that be?
(beat)
I dont know much about Equity to begin
with, but how can a case simply shift
from one status to another?

(CONTINUED)

68.
CONTINUED:

WINSTON
Its a little more than that, Ms. Watt.
SAMANTHA
Whatever, your Honor, never mind,
youre the judge.
A beat.
WINSTON
Theres more to this case than what was
first presented. Its obvious, Mr.
LeFleur is opening up more
possibilities than Ive ever seen open
up before in a case and I want to see
where it all takes us. Hes competent.
I cant fault him there.
(beat)
Mr. LeFleur call your first witness.
THEODORE
Id like to call Rex Parsons to the
stand.
Rex by his own steam rises from the Gallery and presents
himself, carrying a book. As the Bailiff engages him-BAILIFF
Do you swear-REX
No. I do not swear on the Bible. Let my
yes be yes and my no be no, so help me
G-d.
Winston nods to Rex.
THEODORE
Sir, can you please give us your full
name and your history please.
REX
Alright. My name is Rex Ian Parsons. I
was born on June 10, 1922. Served in
the Army in the South Pacific during
World War II, hospitalized in 43 from
malaria. Met a fella there. A future
president, name was Kennedy. Because of
my malaria condition I was assigned the
rear. Saw no more real combat. War
ended. I came back home and became a
Deputy. Was a Deputy quite a time and
then in time Sheriff of Lafayette
County. For forty-five years. I was
sixty-eight when I retired.

(CONTINUED)

69.
CONTINUED:

THEODORE
Do you recognize many of the people in
the court.
REX
Most of my generation are long gone.
The ones I see here, saw many growing
up.
THEODORE
Do you recall Cecil Marbury? What were
your impressions of him?
REX
Well. He was a sneaky bastard. I never
trusted him.
Slight laughter at his candidness.
WINSTON
How so?
REX
(to Winston)
He was a boy of nineteen, and I got a
call to go to the hospital to file a
report of a gunshot wound. It was Cecil
Marbury...
WINSTON
Please continue.
REX
Well, the first Gulf War was coming up,
and I just figured this man didnt want
to go. Had to talk with his Reserve
unit, they was deploying. Wasnt normal
to have a hunting accident... in
August. And after talking to him I just
figured as such. He shot his own foot
to get out of going over. The kind of
thing I could spot fair, on a count of
me being in the war and all.
SAMANTHA
Objection your honor-WINSTON
Overruled. Which foot did he shoot?
REX
Big toe on the left foot. Was a clean
wound, as clean as blowin your toe off
can be, I mean.

(CONTINUED)

70.
CONTINUED:

THEODORE
Well I really dont have anymore
questions to ask Mr. Parsons. Thank
you, sir.
(to Samantha)
Your witness.
SAMANTHA
No sir. It cant improve the situation.
TIGHT - Justin, next to Brandon in the jury box, reclines
tauntingly toward Brandon, mutters-JUSTIN
See. Told ya.
RESUME REX
Is that all ya wanted me for? Nothing
more? Theres lots more-SAMANTHA
Thank you Sheriff Parsons. Youve...
been you...
THEODORE
May I call my next witness, your Honor?
SAMANTHA
Which witness?
WINSTON
Is this your expert witness?
THEODORE
Yes, if you saw the news, youll notice
my first expert I had listed never got
out of Washington. The car bombing.
That was my witness. But Ive been able
to procure a second expert witness.
The reactions of the Jury and Gallery are seen.
SAMANTHA
I object your Honor on the grounds that
Mr. LeFleur failed to disclose a second
expert witness.
THEODORE
Your Honor, based upon the death of my
prior expert witness I would request
that the court allow Gordon Matthews to
the stand as a lay expert witness.

(CONTINUED)

71.
CONTINUED:

WINSTON
(to Bailiff)
Okay, call the witness.
BAILIFF
Gordon Matthews! Please take the stand.
Gordon is seen stopping at the end of the row in the Gallery to
exchange some kind words (silent) and gestures with Rex Parsons.
Rex hands him his Bible. Samantha looks on in blank befuddlement
as Gordon makes his way to the stand. Bailiff approaches Gordon
as he sits-GORDON
(to Bailiff)
Please, before you start.
(peruses Bible)
I also affirm that my yes be yes and my
no be no, before G-d.
THEODORE
Please state your name for the record,
and your qualifications as a lay expert
witness in this mater.
GORDON
My name is Gordon Douglas Matthews, I
am domiciled in New South Wales,
Australia. Im sixty-three years old.
Ive been studying the international
legal and financial systems for
fourteen years to find out how they
work, and why they work the way they
do. Through my research I have proved
how a massive fraud has been
perpetrated upon the population of
Earth.
WINSTON
(curiously perplexed)
Please continue...
GORDON
My lay expertise is of such magnitude
that I can digress on this subject from
many facets of control with regards to
the global corporate banking system,
the system of Central Banks and the
International Social Security
Association. Furthermore, since I am
not in your corporate system any
longer, and can only be in this court
through the rules of Equity, I now can
present you with public documentation
that would inform and convince you as
to my status as a lay expert witness.
(CONTINUED)

72.
CONTINUED:

WINSTON
What do you mean by that Mr. Matthews?
GORDON
Try looking me up in your system.
Gordon takes out breast wallet and motions to the Bailiff, hands
over his documents. Winston peruses them.
WINSTON
I can see you are here by choice.
GORDON
Yes, I can only testify in Equity,
which means I can only tell about the
true facts that I used as an
Actuarialist in regard to the amount of
people still living in the legal Civil
system that are used by the financiers
when funds need to be created for
whichever country is borrowing credit
from The World Bank or the
International Monetary Fund under the
United Nations, which ultimately falls
under the control of the Vatican.
THEODORE
Your Honor, I now motion before the
court, Mr. Gordon Matthews is qualified
and should be accepted by the court as
a expert lay witness.
WINSTON
Ms. Watt, do you have any objections
toward Mr. Matthews being qualified and
accepted as an expert lay witness in
this matter?
SAMANTHA
Would it make any difference your
Honor?
WINSTON
No, not really. You may continue Mr.
LeFleur.
THEODORE
What do you make of Mr. Bonds
testimony, Mr. Matthews?
GORDON
Hes like most bankers, he really
doesnt know whats really going on,
with regard to the larger scheme.
(MORE)

(CONTINUED)

73.
CONTINUED:
GORDON (CONT'D)
If he had experience with some major
international banks, they may have
filled him in on whats really going
on. The World Bank and the
International Monetary Fund normally
tap people from the larger banks for
their knowledge and experience.

THEODORE
Would Mr. Bond qualify to be employed
by Department of Treasury or World Bank
or the IMF?
GORDON
Well I dont work for the World Bank or
the IMF, but if his answers from
yesterday that I had the chance to hear
are any indication - definitely not.
THEODORE
I have a copy of the negotiable
instrument that was presented to the
Commercial/Rural And Professionals
Bank. The DA has a copy and copies are
available for the jury.
Theodore presents the Bailiff with enough copies. Winston is
seen perusing his copy.
THEODORE (CONTD)
Could you please give me your opinion
on this document?
GORDON
I see that you put given for a patent
right on this.
THEODORE
Isnt that required?
GORDON
It is in Canada, but I believe this
would be helpful in the United States
as well.
THEODORE
What does it help to identify?
GORDON
It helps to identify your authority.
(examining copy)
Very well done, and I see you have it
notarized.

(CONTINUED)

74.
CONTINUED:

THEODORE
It was my understanding since this is
an inland bill, by notarizing I can
make it an international bill of
exchange.
GORDON
(smiling)
Thats correct. And it also makes it a
negotiable international bill of
exchange.
THEODORE
Is that acceptable by any bank in the
United States?
GORDON
It should be. And because you put your
birth certificate number on it, it
makes it easier to find the account.
THEODORE
Could I have used the Social Security
number?
GORDON
Yes, thats correct, but, it all starts
with the birth certificate-Winston slams his gavel.
WINSTON
--on that note well recess for an
extended lunch and reconvene at two
this afternoon.

+++++INSERT
INT. COURTROOM - LATER
Day 3 after lunch the courtroom is settling in for the
afternoon. More Media appear to be in the Gallery.
CUT TO:
THEODORE
Okay, now with regard to the birth
certificate, can you explain to the
jury how all this begins with the
issuing of the birth certificate?
GORDON
Yes, well, it all actually starts
before the birth certificate.
THEODORE
What happens before the birth
certificate is issued?
GORDON
Your parents gave you a name.
THEODORE
If the parents created the name
wouldnt the parents be the patent
owner, or holder, of the name?

(CONTINUED)

76.
CONTINUED:

GORDON
Yes. Thats correct, you are right in
that assumption, it would be the
original intellectual property of the
parents.
THEODORE
That was my theory on the subject as
well. Which is exactly why I created a
patent on the name.
GORDON
This is a very original concept.
THEODORE
My proposition is, that if my parents
created the name, they would be the
owner of the name, and they gave me the
name for my use, I would therefore be
the holder of the name, with patent
rights. Would that be correct?
GORDON
Yes. That would have to be correct.
Theres an axiom in law, first in
time, best in law.
THEODORE
So how is it that the Bureau of Vital
Statistics in any given state can use a
name which is already owned?
GORDON
Well, the fraud concerning the birth
certificate occurred when the
registration of the live birth record
with Vital Statistics was signed by the
informant, which is normally the birth
mother, and in doing so they
inadvertently signed over the power of
attorney to Vital Statistics without
having any informed consent.
THEODORE
Well what would be the legal process?
GORDON
I have reviewed and studied this quite
extensively and it does appear that the
parents signed and executed the
document and upon registration with
Vital Statistics the name was
technically transferred and placed in
Trust.

(CONTINUED)

77.
CONTINUED:

THEODORE
So... just like the registration of an
automobile?
GORDON
Yes. Thats right. Registration is
being deemed to be a transfer of title
of your name into a Trust held by the
State.
THEODORE
(quipping)
Except were talking about human beings
and not automobiles here.
(beat)
So if Vital Statistics owns the name,
can I own any property in that name?
GORDON
Thats a very interesting question. In
law, no, in Equity, yes. They cannot
own your name unless you allow them.
THEODORE
How did this come about?
GORDON
You only have legal title, you do not
own it. You have the right to use it,
but you do not own it.
THEODORE
Hold on one moment. Let me clarify
this, your name, that everyone believes
to be their original possession, is in
fact being held in Trust by Vital
Statistics. And they are the actual
holders of the name and not you, nor
does anyone else in this court own
their name. Has the government
committed a fraud by taking this name?
GORDON
Yes. But, registration means to
transfer a title. According to their
system, they havent committed a fraud.
Of course you can remember another
maxim of law, ignorance of the law is
not an excuse.
THEODORE
That doesnt seem fair.
GORDON
The law is not about being fair, Mr.
LeFleur, its about being legal.
(MORE)
(CONTINUED)

78.
CONTINUED:
GORDON (CONT'D)
You may imagine something to be, and
not know if it is so. But if you
believe something to be real, then for
all intents and purposes it is, as it
affects your behavior and decides the
limitations of your choices. Our
perception of law is faulty, we have
agreed to this reality, and so it is.
It has little to do with morality, and
everything to do with money. Just
simply follow the money.

THEODORE
Then what does the birth certificate
represent?
GORDON
Money. Its all about the money. It is
in fact a receipt, for a bond. It was
created by the use of power of
attorney, which in turn, used the law
to turn the birth certificate into a
non-negotiable bond that benefits the
beneficiaries of the Trust.
THEODORE
Is that in the fine print?
GORDON
(smiling)
Yes.
THEODORE
What is this bond all about?
GORDON
This is the Cestui Que Vie Trust. This
trust was set up because you are
legally dead, and cant own anything,
therefore the government creates
multiple Trusts to put the title of
your name into because they have the
value of you as collateral, they create
money from you which is attached to
that trust. The certificate represents
a value of money which is sold onto the
stock market to finance the government.
THEODORE
(deliberately pensive)
The government. The government.
Govern - Latin in origin, to control.
Ment, or mentus - the mind.
(beat)
(MORE)

(CONTINUED)

79.
CONTINUED:
THEODORE (CONT'D)
Most people think of that word and
dont go beyond their own mental or
national borders. Is this handling of
the birth certificate just something
that pertains to the United States?

GORDON
No. No. No. This is worldwide. Thats
one of the reasons for the World Bank
and the International Monetary Fund.
THEODORE
You said we are dead?
GORDON
Yes. Youre dead on paper, you are
considered legally dead, thats why you
cant really own anything. Its called
legal right of use. Since one complies,
and in truth is never forced into the
legal system, it is strictly by
compliance. But youre tricked into
compliance, so were your parents. And
your grandparents. Just substitute
football for legal in what I just
said. If you play for a football team,
do you willfully abide by the rules,
the regulations - laws, in a sense, of
the game because you want to play? No
one tricked you into the game. You want
to live, dont you?
(beat)
If youre just interested in football
and beer youll never wake up to this
reality of which I am speaking.
THEODORE
Can a living man own property?
GORDON
Yes. The living can own property.
THEODORE
Are there any living people on the
planet?
GORDON
Of course there is.
THEODORE
Who are they?
GORDON
What people usually term the ruling
elite. You are a legal person, and
persons are legally dead.
(CONTINUED)

80.
CONTINUED:

THEODORE
So, then whats in a name?
GORDON
Everything. If youre living.
(searching Bible)
Excuse me for one minute Mr. LeFleur.
Okay, For there is no respect of
persons with G-d. Romans, chapter two,
verse eleven.
THEODORE
Are you one of the living?
GORDON
Of course I am. I know who I am, and
who I am not - as a human being.
THEODORE
If I claim to be the patent holder of
my name, will that change my status?
GORDON
I believe that would be a step in the
right direction.
THEODORE
How do you get control of the Cestui
Que Vie Trust?
GORDON
If the supposed dead man proved to be
alive then the title is re-vested.
THEODORE
How would one do that?
GORDON
You do have a Power of Attorney, dont
you?
THEODORE
Yes.
GORDON
If you know how to write the Power of
Attorney correctly, and appoint
yourself the Attorney-in-Fact, you are
on the right path.
THEODORE
Hmmm. Very good point.
(beat)
You said a few minutes ago, that we
cant own property.
(MORE)
(CONTINUED)

81.
CONTINUED:
THEODORE (CONT'D)
I know the definition of slave also
states that... that a slave cant own
property.

GORDON
Yes. We are all slaves, Mr. LeFleur. On
their plantation. Only one-percent of
one-percent are owners. Probably less.
THEODORE
Even, say, the President of the United
States?
GORDON
Yes. Of course. Hes the CEO of your
plantation, your... tax farm. After
all, the U.S. is The United States of
America, Incorporated. Hard pill to
swallow. Were pawns on a chess-board,
Mr. LeFleur, and theres no other way
to see it. It doesnt matter, all
colors, all religions.
THEODORE
No further questions your Honor.
(to Samantha)
Your witness.
Samantha pauses in her response, feeling a bit flat-footed.
WINSTON
Do you wish to cross examine Mr.
Matthews, Ms. Watt?
SAMANTHA
Yes. Yes I do your Honor.
(beat)
Mr. Matthews, can you tell me what the
difference is between a common check in
anyones checkbook and a negotiable
instrument?
GORDON
(somewhat confused)
Well, in the Uniform Commercial Code,
Articles 3 and 4, a check, promissory
note, and a negotiable instrument are
all one in the same. In fact, the
negotiable instrument Ms. Watt, is
considered to be as good as cash.
SAMANTHA
Oh, yes, yes of course... Mr. Matthews,
this Cestui Que Vie Trust, how can we
prove this trust exists?

(CONTINUED)

82.
CONTINUED:

GORDON
Thats quite simple. Have you got your
birth certificate with you?
SAMANTHA
No. But I know whats on it.
GORDON
If you look at the birth certificate
very carefully youll notice that its
printed on watermarked bond paper. And
also very fine printing on it like
micro-printing on bank notes. It will
tell you its not to be used for
identification. That its a valuable
document, it is a certificate of a bond
the government, the corporation,
created. It is linked to your Social
Security number.
SAMANTHA
What proof is there that this Birth
Certificate Bond is traded on the stock
market?
GORDON
As you know all of these financial
instruments have a CUSIP number.
Samantha acquiesces to her public display of ignorance, and
pursues with a self-patronizing confidence.
SAMANTHA
Of course.
GORDON
If you know the right stock broker, he
can find your CUSIP from your birth
certificate, and find out what is in
the pool.
SAMANTHA
Whats the pool?
GORDON
A pool is a number of Bond put together
and traded as a block.
SAMANTHA
What do you think its all worth Mr.
Matthews?
GORDON
Well that depends.
(long beat)
What country you were born in.

CONTINUED:
GORDON (CONT'D)
How much education you have. And other
factors too numerous to mention. But,
as you are an American, born in America
with a college degree it would be quite
substantial.

SAMANTHA
Have you ever seen yours?
GORDON
Thats private, Ms. Watt.
SAMANTHA
(quizzical)
Well how do you know its real?
GORDON
I know how to access it.
SAMANTHA
Is there any other information you can
enlighten the jury about?
GORDON
I dont think we have enough time.
WINSTON
Ms. Watt, do you have any specific
questions to ask? This isnt a fishing
trip.
SAMANTHA
In your experience with banking, have
you seen any fraudulent attempts to
access this Trust?
GORDON
Yes, its human nature, its going on
all the time.
SAMANTHA
Is it by these Sovereign people? How
much trouble do these individuals
really cause?
GORDON
Most of the trouble, the corruption
comes from insiders, in the banking
system. Have you seen the recent rash
in banker suicides, and murders?
Fourteen or so at last I read.
SAMANTHA
They have other names, are these
Freemen on the land, for the most part,
breaking the law?
(CONTINUED)

84.
CONTINUED:

GORDON
No. In most cases they have the wrong
information. Thats why they dont have
any success. But a few do get it right.
SAMANTHA
Is that so?
GORDON
The real criminality is in the banking
sector. The greed is incredible. Some
just cant help themselves. So they
just help themselves. Can you justify
paying yourself tens of millions
dollars bonus? Because thats happening
all the time.
SAMANTHA
What do you mean when you say, youre
in Equity?
GORDON
I am making a special appearance here
because this court is dealing with
issues in Equity. Its by my choice
and at the request of Mr. LeFleur that
I am appearing here today. Since I am
no longer in the Civil system I cannot
be compelled to enter into any Civil
court.
SAMANTHA
Can you explain that Mr. Matthews?
GORDON
You should ask the judge that question.
Winston looks toward Gordon, his eyes betray gratitude.
WINSTON
(leading gently)
Ms. Watt, if you do not have any
further questions for this witness we
will recess for the day and reconvene
tomorrow.
SAMANTHA
No further questions your Honor.
From frame left through a courtroom window a shot tears through

here!? Goddamnit I want some answers-Agent Smith enters, his weapon in the ready-AGENT SMITH

Lets get through this then worry about
fucking answers.
Samantha is in deep fear, tears streaming-SAMANTHA

Shhh, settle down, easy now...
Just then two STATE POLICE officers quickly enter-STATE OFFICER 1
Its alright judge, weve got the
courthouse secured!
EXT. COURTHOUSE - CONTINUOUS
As POLICE, both uniformed and plainclothes, FEDERAL AGENTS and
others are seen amid the Media and onlookers.
INT. JURY ROOM - LATER
Woody and the Jury Members are gathered waiting for Winston.
They are quite distressed, random CHATTER is heard. Some are on
their cell phones.
WOODY
Settle down folks! Let me have your
attention! Please... now most likely
yall are going to be taken by bus to
each of your homes where youre gonna
have to gather your things and then
well take you to one of the hotels
nearby.
JUSTIN
What the hell do you mean? I got things
need taking care of on my ranch!
ASHLEY
What about my baby? Ive got to find
someone-RICHARD
Well damn-HENRY
I dont think theres much we can do
other than start to make arrangements.
GISELE
Im just an alternate, what about-WOODY
That includes you too maam. Sorry.
Winston enters. Their attention is fixed.

(CONTINUED)

WINSTON
I dont have to tell you all about the
severity of whats happened. Couple
that with the nature of this trial and
Im sure you can all understand that I
have to sequester you all until the end
of these proceedings. Woody here will
fill you in on the details.
WOODY
Have told them some Judge.
WINSTON
Thanks. I know its an inconvenience,
but its part of what you all signed up
for. If anyone needs help with special
arrangements, medical needs, anything
at all get with the attendants and
lets get it all squared away this
evening. See you all 9 AM sharp.
(to Woody)
Get as much help as you need. Brief
them again on conduct. No computers. No
cell phones, the lot. Contact me when
things are settled.
Winston exits.
WOODY
Okay folks, lets get started. Im as
happy as you are about all this. We got
to stay with you all.
JUSTIN
Shit...
INT. WINSTONS CHAMBERS - LATER
In chambers with Winston, Theodore, Gordon, and Samantha are a
STATE POLICE SERGEANT and TWO FBI AGENTS in addition to the
other Two Officers.
FBI AGENT 1
There arent any witnesses to who the
shooter may be, and no one heard the
shots let alone saw anyone.
WINSTON
What kind of bullshit is going on here
son? I want some fucking answers, and I
want them fast! Two rounds come
whizzing into my fucking courtroom and
I want to know whatever you can muster,
and I want to know it when you do!

WINSTON (CONT'D)
And exactly who the hell are you?!
Firing off rounds in my courtroom...

AGENT SMITH
Im here to help. Smith. Agent Smith,
U.S. Treasury.
WINSTON
Holy shit. Figures.
(to FBI Agent 2)
Well what the fuck are you going to do
about this, I mean, in addition to
asking a lot of useless questions to
justify your paycheck?!
FBI AGENT 2
Were doing all we can, sir-WINSTON
Can your doing all we can bullshit
son, do you read me? I was just shot
at!
FBI AGENT 1
Well tell you what we can when we can
Judge Parker.
WINSTON
Why dont I believe you? Ive got media
crawling up my ass with this case, now
someone firing shots into my courtroom-FBI AGENT 2
We think it could be some people in the
Sovereign movement-WINSTON
You can shove that bullshit too! You
dont even know what the hell youre
talking about, someone in the Bureau
define to you what a Sovereign is?
You going to come in here handing me
that shit propaganda thats been shoved
into your head from some bullshit
briefing out of D.C.?
THEODORE
Sovereigns wouldnt miss.
GORDON
Id have to agree with him there.
FBI AGENT 1
(confrontational)
And who might you be sir?

GORDON
None of your damned business.
FBI Agent 1 goes to retort when-WINSTON
Id have to agree with him! Make sure
your forensics boys work fast, and I

courtroom ready for session at nine AM
sharp. Got me?
STATE POLICE SERGEANT
Yes, sir.
FBI AGENT 2
(to Sergeant)
Well take care of-WINSTON
You all do what you have to. For now
you can get the hell out of my
chambers! And dont pull any Federal
jurisdiction bullshit out of your ass
either!
(long, heavy beat)
Ms. Watt, Mr. LeFleur, and Agent Smith try to have a good evening. Bright and
early. Alright. Mr. Matthews. You
hungry? I know this place. Ate there a
million times.
GORDON
Would love to join you.
WINSTON
Good. Let me call the manager, short
notice, shell understand.
INT. RESTAURANT - EVENING
Agent Smith is seen seated from profile, eating quietly alone.
INT. HENRY PECKS HOME - EVENING
+++++Henry, his WIFE, two daughters-INT. WINSTONS HOME, ATRIUM - SUNSET
Gordon and Haley are seated at an elegant glass dining table in
a modern atrium at Winstons home. The sun has passed beneath

Winston is seen in the background between the them on a plateau

step by the wide open entrance to his home.
WINSTON (ON PHONE)
Yes, Ill wait.
GORDON
(to Haley)
This is very delicious Haley.
HALEY
My grandmother passed this down.
WINSTON (ON PHONE)
Speaking.--Im not sure.--No. I need to
find out if a specific negotiable
instrument was settled, paid out of
Treasury, and if so to whom.--Not sure.-Look, when bullets come ripping
through my courtroom there are just
certain things I want to know, and now.
An expert witness blown to bits in
their car...--Whats his name?--Agent
Smith, are you serious?--Ive had the
pleasure to meet him already.--Sure.
Send him around. Thank you for
cooperating.
Winston ends the call and exits frame.
GORDON
Your home is beautiful.
HALEY
Thank you. Its my fathers. I live in
New Jersey.
GORDON
What do you do in New Jersey?
HALEY
Im an engineer at DiBiotics
Corporation. Genetic approaches to
diseases, that kind of thing.
GORDON
So youre visiting? Is this where you
grew up?
HALEY
No, we moved around a lot when we were
young. Its where my father grew up,
but Im here now helping--

Winston returns to the table with the wooden box containing a

bottle of Jim Beam Distillers Masterpiece bourbon. He abruptly
yet kindly heads her off-WINSTON
Shes here spending some time with her
dear, dear father, and trying not to
let his strange habits grate too badly
on her nerves.
HALEY
Daddy, dad, you want some fresh coffee
with that? Ill bring your medicines
too. How was your day?
WINSTON
Interesting. Yes. Interesting.
(beat)
And a cigar, baby-girl.
(to Gordon)
Cigar?
GORDON
(glass in hand)
No thanks, Ill stick with this.
WINSTON
This case is one helluva case to be
leaving the bench on.
+++++PLACE JURY MEMBER SCENE HERE AT HOTEL
INT. WINSTONS HOME, ATRIUM - LATER
GORDON
--and larger examples, the Queen swore
an oath on the Bible to defend the
faith, and the U.S. Constitution is
based on it and was created by G-d
fearing men. They knew the power of the
word. Written and spoken. That the
perceptions of one single man or
millions can be steered in desired
directions by simply changing the
definitions, recreating the perceptions
with definitions, of words as one goes
up the level of the pyramid. So, the
word person, for example, in everyday
colloquial usage means a very simple
concept. However, if you apply the
concept of the term person on the law
layer of the pyramid - it only refers
to dead things. And it is in keeping
with the Word.

(CONTINUED)

92.
CONTINUED:

WINSTON
In all my years though, I knew of
aspects of this, at my layer, but I
never heard Bible scholars or fellow
jurists speak of this. Only inference.
GORDON
They werent Bible scholars and true
legal scholars, were they? It also
helps to be a linguist. And historian.
INT. WINSTONS HOME, FRONT ENTRANCE - CONTINUOUS
Haley opens the front door to Agent Smith. Smith grins and holds
up his ID, adjusts his laptop case strap.
HALEY
Hi...
AGENT SMITH
Ah. Hello. Im Agent Smith. U.S.
Treasury. Im here to see Judge Winston
Parker. Is he here?
HALEY
Yes hes here. Were, ah, just finished
dinner, coffee?
INT. WINSTONS HOME, ATRIUM - RESUME
Haley and Smith enter and walk over to the table. Both sit.
HALEY
Daddy this is...?
AGENT SMITH
(to Winston)
Smith, sir, Treasury Agent Kevin Smith.
WINSTON
Yes. I know. But havent I met you
somewhere before?
AGENT SMITH
Well, you have, a long time ago.
WINSTON
This gentleman is Gordon Matthews, came
all the way from Australia for this
trial. You came all the way from
Washington.
GORDON
Weve already met.
(CONTINUED)

93.
CONTINUED:

AGENT SMITH
Yes. Yesterday.
WINSTON
I guess were all on the same page
then... shall we?
Winston pours three fingers of bourbon for Agent Smith, drops in
some ice.
WINSTON (CONTD)
You look a little parched.
AGENT SMITH
(hesitant)
Dont mind if I do...
GORDON
At least we know what the quality is.
WINSTON
A toast gentlemen. To a death-blow to
fraud?
GORDON
And beginning of Equity, possibly.
They bump glasses and drink, Agent Smiths throat burns.
WINSTON
I dont have to tell either of you what
this, case, could mean if LeFleur
continues on his trek. Its already
getting out. Im sure to catch some
more shit. Once he competently moved
into Equity theres was little I could
do.
(heavy beat)
An expert witness, due here to testify,
is dead. That bumped every goddamned
thing about this up a notch. Now
getting shot at in session-Haleys expression is evident.
HALEY
What?! Shot at? You didnt-WINSTON
Its nothing. Nothing at all.
HALEY
Getting shot at is nothing?!
Winston continues as if nothing were said. Haley leaves the
room.
(CONTINUED)

94.
CONTINUED:

WINSTON
Medias starting to slither in,
mainstream and alternative. What I want
to know from you Smith is can we get
confirmation that LeFleurs negotiable
instrument was honored?
AGENT SMITH
If you have a copy Ill just get out my
computer and if you could give me the
wifi code Ill see what I can do.
WINSTON
My internet isnt secure.
AGENT SMITH
Oh this is. NSA level encryption.
Winston takes a copy of the bill of exchange from his briefcase.
Writes the wifi code on the back/
WINSTON
Enter this. Heres his Social Security
number.
AGENT SMITH
Date of birth, is...
He enters it - TIGHT - laptop screen - heading shows a U.S.
Department of Treasury access screen. He places his finger on
the built-in finger scan pad, a small window pops up,
Identifier - SMITH, KEVIN [NOTE: and his ID number]. A small
window and frame LED indicate the web cam is on as biometric
scan grids map his face. Smith sees Winston in the facial
recognition window.
AGENT SMITH (CONTD)
Sir, could you move out of the camera
for a moment. Just for a moment.
(beat)
Okay, you can see. Now, what was the
transaction?
WINSTON
(hands him copy)
Its for three-hundred eighty-seven
thousand forty-nine dollars and seventyseven cents. All right there.
AGENT SMITH
Yes. Okay. Right here.
GORDON
Which account did it go to?

(CONTINUED)

95.
CONTINUED:

AGENT SMITH
(taps a few keys)
Comes up flagged, under investigation,
it goes to a Burns, first name Charles,
William.
WINSTON
So it didnt go into the bank? Can you
pull up any more on this guys account?
AGENT SMITH
Yes. Something very suspicious. This
guy should be dead. Hes pretty old. He
must be pushing a hundred and its
still active.
(long beat)
Theres... been money going into this
account since 1990. Look at this, its
irregular, thats why its being
flagged.
Winston bears a strange look. He knows who Burns is.
WINSTON
Burns... Charles Burns, I think I know
this name. Where do these deposits come
from?
AGENT SMITH
Now... this is the problem with this
one. Theyre all random, no two names
come up together, and its all from the
Southern states. We cant track it
down. Because theres so much of this
going on, were only looking after the
big ones.
GORDON
Where did it go to?
AGENT SMITH
Deposited to... okay, in Puerto Rico to
a bank by the name of... Puerto Rico
Industrial Commercial Savings.
GORDON
What do you call big?
AGENT SMITH
We start at a half million dollars and
up.
WINSTON
So this is below the radar?

(CONTINUED)

96.
CONTINUED:

AGENT SMITH
This is all below our cutoff level. We
just dont have the resources to track
all of them down.
GORDON
So is this a problem with these
accounts at Treasury?
AGENT SMITH
Unfortunately, yes.
INT. WINSTONS HOME, ATRIUM - LATER
Winston, Gordon, and Agent Smith are back seated at the table,
relaxed, and pleasantly inebriated. Throughout the exchange
Gordons demeanor is engaging, as he leads with his questions.
AGENT SMITH
Gordon and I had dinner with Theo about
the system, and how all roads go back
to Rome.
WINSTON
You dont how true that really is.
GORDON
How is it that the bankers get access
to the Treasury accounts?
WINSTON
Its not just the bankers Gordon, its
the courts as well.
AGENT SMITH
How can that be?
GORDON
Its very simple - youve surrendered
your Power of Attorney.
AGENT SMITH
I cant remember ever surrendering
anything...
GORDON
Yes you did, remember when the first
time you went to a bank, and opened an
account?
AGENT SMITH
Yes.

(CONTINUED)

97.
CONTINUED:

GORDON
You were probably a teenager. When you
put your signature to that paper, you
gave the bank Power of Attorney. Done.
AGENT SMITH
What about the courts?
WINSTON
Same applies when you got your drivers
license. And when you registered to
vote. When your parents registered for
your Birth Certificate. Those and
others gave Power of Attorney to the
courts.
AGENT SMITH
What about military service?
WINSTON
Yes, when you sign up for the military
like I did, they then have Power of
Attorney over you. I only found out the
nature of this stuff and more after I
became a judge, and it just began.
GORDON
Are all judges told of this, Winston?
WINSTON
Yes. Thats why we have to take an
oath. Thats how we pay ourselves, it
comes out of your accounts, in
Treasury.
GORDON
You mean the Cestui Que Vie Trusts...
AGENT SMITH
(impressed, pensive)
I had no idea it was that extensive.
WINSTON
I had inklings of this but could never
confirm it. Have you ever seen a poor
judge? Or for that matter, a poor
Congressman?
AGENT SMITH
But arent you violating the
Constitution?
WINSTON
What Constitution? I dont work under
those rules?

(CONTINUED)

98.
CONTINUED:

GORDON
How come?
WINSTON
All judges are registered in Puerto
Rico so we are independent
administrators of the Legal System. We
have no allegiance to the Constitution
or the people of America for that
matter. Ultimately.
AGENT SMITH
I really dont understand this...
WINSTON
Well son, its set up so the Judges can
remain independent of the Constitution
and the People. Were independent
arbitrators.
GORDON
Does the government actually pay you
Winston unlike what Kevin here
receives?
WINSTON
The Justice Department is paid through
Congress and Treasury, but the Judges
are paid from a separate account. I
dont care if I win, lose, or draw a
case, I still get paid.
AGENT SMITH
So where does your money really come
from?
WINSTON
It comes from the Trusts. Everything.
GORDON
The IRS collects taxes for the
government, dont they, just usury on
monies created on the screens every
day?
AGENT SMITH
Yeah the IRS collects revenue,
interest, for the government-WINSTON
No. The Federal Reserve which issued
it. But their personal income tax goes
ultimately to Rome.

(CONTINUED)

99.
CONTINUED:

AGENT SMITH
(taking a sip)
Theres no way I can believe you.
GORDON
(smiling)
Ive heard stories of this.
WINSTON
Yes, the personal income tax goes
through London, then onto Rome.
GORDON
You mean the City of London.
WINSTON
Thats right, the City of London, then
to the Vatican.
GORDON
Ive heard that the military gets paid
from corporate taxes.
WINSTON
Its my understanding that the entirety
of the corporate taxes goes to pay for
the U.S. Military.
AGENT SMITH
(takes another sip)
Ive never heard of that one either
gentlemen... damn, I knew Theo was on
to some shit, but all this? I know for
a fact there were death threats several
times against him. So with all that
crap out there, with all kinds of
bizarre things going on hes found
something. Something really hidden.
Big. Too big. Way too big.
WINSTON
Look, the Vatican is nothing more than
the largest and oldest business on
earth. Religion is just a storefront.
Its all about mind control. Nothing
more, nothing less. Mind control
through the control of information.
They write the laws; mere opinions;
they control the banks.
GORDON
The Vatican simply morphed from the old
Roman Empire - and theyre still in the
slave trade. Sixty-five percent of the
Empire were slaves at the time of
Constantine.
(MORE)
(CONTINUED)

100.
CONTINUED:
GORDON (CONT'D)
How can Centurions, phalanxes, and
Generals defend against a total shift
in consciousness? From mere slaves to
Christos, or Christ Consciousness? So
they changed, into the Holy Roman
Empire. Took to the shadows as
millenniums passed.

AGENT SMITH
(amused)
Ahhh, yeah, nobody here is a slave...
come on guys.
WINSTON
Yes we are slaves, the way we think,
what we think, and the unspoken
limitations on how we think. We are
patterned and programmed from birth
with this bullshit from every
institution and every fiction of
authority. Theyre all are paid by the
same master to create a limited yet
productive version of who you think you
are. Here, and throughout the world.
GORDON
The media is an indispensable part of
the deception, so you dont have to
think - critically. Its very
entertaining, on a simple-minded level,
repeats the scripts over and over,
which goes right along with the Roman
credo, bread and circus.
AGENT SMITH
(to Winston)
When did you finally understand how
this all works?
WINSTON
Its taken my entire career to put it
all together. Most people will go
through life oblivious to how it all
works, and go to their graves without
having a clue. Im about to retire, and
have only just figured it out in the
last few years.
(long beat)
And I wont be in a position to do
anything about this.
GORDON
You can always write your memoirs.
AGENT SMITH
That sounds like a great idea.
(CONTINUED)

101.

Winston takes the bottle, fills his glass, drops some ice in,
takes a healthy sip. Offers it the others. Gordon accepts.
WINSTON
I dont have time for that. Im going
to enjoy my retirement.
EXT. COURTHOUSE - DAY
Day 4 begins. Outside the courthouse police string barricade
tape to keep the entrance to the courthouse clear. Local
DEPUTIES and surrounding AUXILIARY, STATE POLICE, and various
ABC soup agency people in slightly inconspicuous dress and
demeanor are noticed. Concession trucks offer the gamut in food.
Local and non-local onlookers fill the area.
Notable mass and alternative media personnel are positioned
about, giving reports on what has leaked though the internet,
phone cams, discussion boards, and social media. Remote reports
are in progress-CLOSE - ALEX JONES in mid report-- [NOTE: This can be any number
of outlets, including the Buzzsaw crew.]
ALEX
--senior counsel member, and
whistleblower of the International
Monetary Fund, an English Lord, my god!
By the name of Geoffrey Oliver Daniels,
was killed in by a car bomb when he was
leaving from a visit with a friend who
is yet unidentified in the Washington
D.C. area. It happened at approximately
four-twenty PM Eastern Standard Time.
You know, Aaron, this just smacks of
not only the vast murders, suicides,
and cover-ups rampant in the global
banking system - but whatever is
unfolding in this modest courtroom,
this serene setting may very well hold
keys to an a Pandoras box of
unimaginable consequences. If an expert
witness, an English Lord at that level
in banking is assassinated en route to
testify at the LeFleur trial, I can
only begin to imagine where with the
Cabal, the Club of Rome, CFR, Committee
of Three Hundred, Bilderbergers, all
the rest of the Bohemian Grove alumni;
where it all just fits. Aaron, back to
you. Its hot here.

102.

INT. COURTROOM - DAY

With an unusual fanfare the courtroom and gallery seem to be at
a fever pitch. Theodore remains centered at his table. Samantha
appears a bit distracted but looking well. Scan of Jury members
and Gallery shows a good portion media and suits.
Winston enters, takes his position behind the bench, remains
standing, and observes. The chaos is mild but present. Winston
sits, and slams his gavel unusually hard, several times.
BAILIFF
All rise! Lafayette Circuit Court,
Third Circuit District of Mississippi
is now in session. The Honorable
Winston Parker presiding.
(slight beat)
Yall be seated.
WINSTON
Order! I want order in this court now!
(slams once again)
Order!

Looks like the three-ring-horse-crap
media circus has arrived.
The court silenced, yet the din of the crowds outside the
structure can be heard.
BAILIFF
You should see whats outside, Judge.
WINSTON
I can hear it Woody.
(to Samantha)
Who have you got on the menu today, Ms.
Watt?
SAMANTHA
Good morning your Honor. I have a
special witness for the prosecution
from Washington.
WINSTON
Who might that be?
SAMANTHA
Mr. Tweedie. A senior representative
from the Federal Reserve.
WINSTON

Winston slides the official cigar Bible toward Woody, who is
in on the move; he proceeds to swear in the defendant-TIGHT - Three rings on Terrances hand while on the Bible show:
Freemason - ETC. [WRITERS NOTE: Determine rings.]
WINSTON (CONTD)
Mr. Tweedie, youve come a long way
this morning.
TERRANCE
Yes it was a good flight.
WINSTON
But there are no commercial flights
into this town.
NOTE: The thoughts of Terrence now become Voice V.O., versus his
spoken responses. What is in BLOCK PARENTHETICALS are in VOICE
OVER.
TERRANCE
[V.O. - I know thats why I have access
to a private jet.]
Janet Mellen provided the Gulfstream
for me to come down. Its normally on
standby.
WINSTON
You may continue Ms. Watt.
SAMANTHA
Can you state for the record your full
name and your details of employment?
TERRANCE
My name is Terrance William Ian
Tweedie, and I am employed by the
Federal Reserve Bank, and I am
currently Chairman of the Institute of
National Banking Regulation Enforcement
& Educational Development.
SAMANTHA
And what do you do in the Federal
Reserve System?
TERRANCE
[V.O. - Fuck off. Paper. Its all about
fucking paper.]
(CONTINUED)

Our committee writes policy for the

banking industry for the education of
banking people.
SAMANTHA
So you are well qualified in the policy
of the Federal Reserve System?
TERRANCE
[V.O. - Dad got me the job. And I went
to the right Ivy League shithole.
Joined the right societies, all that.]
Well I am the Chairman of the SubCommittee.
SAMANTHA
Are these recommendations adopted by
the Treasury Department?
TERRANCE
[V.O. - Theyve got no fucking choice we print their money...]
Yes thats the whole idea for it, to
bring in a uniform banking legislation
for the whole of the United States.
SAMANTHA
I thought that was done by Congress?
TERRANCE
[V.O. - You mean the ones we bought?
Paleeeze...]
Yes, but we tweak the system to make it
function more efficiently.
WINSTON
(under his breath)
Who for?
SAMANTHA
You have been briefed on Mr. Bonds
rejection of the Bill of Exchange?
TERRANCE
[V.O. - Phlegmatic redneck. Moonshine.]
Yes.

(CONTINUED)

105.
CONTINUED:

SAMANTHA
What is your opinion of Mr. Bonds
decision to not accept that piece of
paper?
TERRANCE
[V.O. - He wouldnt know an instrument
from toilet paper.]
After all that is his decision, he is
in a position to make that judgment.
SAMANTHA
Would that be in line with the policy
of the bank?
TERRANCE
[V.O. - I really dont give a shit.
Okay?]
Im not familiar with that banks
policies, but we do have standards to
keep.
SAMANTHA
Here is a copy of the document that Mr.
LeFleur presented to Mr. Bonds bank.
Can you comment on it?
TERRANCE
(holding it)
[V.O. - No. Really. Why bother?]
This is a bit unusual, but it appears
to be reasonably correct. But it is
that banks decision.
WINSTON
Can you please elaborate on that, sir?
TERRANCE
[V.O. - Oh for fucks sake. Shut up.]
We could get into the technical details
if you wish?
WINSTON
Ms. Watt you may continue.
SAMANTHA
Can you tell me what the technical
differences are?
(CONTINUED)

106.
CONTINUED:

TERRANCE
[V.O. - As if? As if youd know the
difference...]
Does Mr. LeFleur have a Power of
Attorney? I dont see any attachments
to this.
SAMANTHA
No. Thats all I have.
TERRANCE
[V.O. - You mean I missed my tennis day
for this shit? Oy veh?]
Mr. Bond had the right to reject it.
SAMANTHA
So the document isnt valid? And the
foreclosure was justified.
TERRANCE
[V.O. - Duuuh... No. That he had the
power to reject it.]
No. I said he doesnt have Power of
Attorney.
SAMANTHA
So is that important?
TERRANCE
[V.O. - Of course it is.]
It would clarify his status. Very
simple.
SAMANTHA
I cant think of anything else at the
moment to ask your Honor.
TERRANCE
[V.O. - Thats not too surprising.]
WINSTON
Shall I pass Mr. Tweedie for cross
examination over to Theodore?
TERRANCE
[V.O. - Oh please do.]

SAMANTHA
(monotone)
I have no objections.
TERRANCE
[V.O. - No. You wouldnt.]
WINSTON
Your witness Mr. LeFleur.
THEODORE
Thank you, your Honor. Mr. Tweedie, you
said the document didnt have Power of
Attorney, and that it would clarify my
status?
TERRANCE
Yes. It would.
THEODORE
In what way would it change my status?
TERRANCE
[V.O. - Oh shit... what spin will he
buy?]
Well, if you are important, like I am,
and have some standing like the Judge,
you can do things-THEODORE
--like the Power of Attorney-TERRANCE
--if you can get to that level...
THEODORE
So youre telling me, if you dont have
a Power of Attorney, you, arent
recognized in Court?
TERRANCE
[V.O. - I dont know this shit. No one
was supposed to know this shit. What
the fuck? This is some fucking shit.]
Thats, that would be up to the Judge
to decide.
WINSTON
I know where you stand.
Theodore hands Terrance his Power of Attorney documents.
THEODORE
Would this be sufficient?
(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

TERRANCE
Just let me peruse. Of course.
[V.O. - Oh... crap.]
A long beat as Terrance glances over the documents.
THEODORE
A copy of this was attached to the
negotiable instrument that was given to
the CFO, Mr. William Bond.
TERRANCE
You have any evidence of that?
THEODORE
Yes. I do. Here is a affidavit.
TERRANCE
[V.O. - Oh... oh.]
Id like to see that.
WINSTON
I would too, Mr. Tweedie.
THEODORE
Now, Mr. Tweedie, what powers does the
Federal Reserve Bank have over the
banking industry?
TERRANCE
[V.O. - If you suckers only knew.]
The Federal Reserve Bank gives
directions to Treasury to stabilize the
monetary system to promote growth in
the economy.
THEODORE
Who owns the Federal Reserve Bank, Mr.
Tweedie?
TERRANCE
[V.O. - Daddy and his friends...]
Oh, thats a part of the government...
THEODORE
No. Not according to the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission.
TERRANCE
[V.O. - Fuck.]
(MORE)
(CONTINUED)

109.
CONTINUED:
TERRANCE (CONT'D)
The Federal Reserve Bank has a charter
with the government.

THEODORE
It is a private bank, is it not?
TERRANCE
[V.O. - Okay. How to deflect this?]
Well it is autonomous, thats in the
charter, so it can give independent
advice to the government of the day.
THEODORE
In fact, Mr. Tweedie, the Federal
Reserve is a privately held
corporation, is it not?.
TERRANCE
[V.O. - No way around this...]
Yes. Yes it is privately held.
THEODORE
And the United States Government is
also a privately held corporation, is
it not Mr. Tweedie?
TERRANCE
Im, Im not qualified to answer that
question-THEODORE
I didnt think so, but it is just the
same. How does the Federal Reserve Bank
create money?
TERRANCE
The Federal Government issues a bond to
the Federal Reserve to print, or issue,
the money to the value of the bonds.
THEODORE
Nothing more than a printing press
which creates interest, Mr. Tweedie,
isnt it, and all of the Code and
obfuscation is in place so that rarely
becomes a consideration in the minds of
populations, isnt that so?
TERRANCE
[V.O. - Of course.]
We have administrative and printing
costs. With the creation of money.

(CONTINUED)

110.
CONTINUED:

THEODORE
Trillions of dollars worth of
administrative costs, called interest?
Slight laughter erupts from the Gallery and as well the
reactions of the Jury members are seen.
TERRANCE
??
THEODORE
Who actually owns the money?
TERRANCE
[V.O. - We print it, we own it.]
We hold the bonds, and the government
issues the currency, the cash.
THEODORE
So how are the bonds redeemed?
TERRANCE
[V.O. - Youve got to be kidding me.
Weve got you by the balls. Have for
hundreds of years.]
We sell them back to the Department of
Treasury.
THEODORE
Where does Treasury get the money?
TERRANCE
[V.O. - You pay taxes, dont you? Its
called usury. Deal with it.]
The Internal Revenue Service collects
taxes, for Treasury, to buy back the
bonds, over decades in some cases.
THEODORE
But the government, the corporation, of
the United States of America owes how
many trillions in bonded usury? And, as
an aside, the word bond is the root for
bondage. Just a point in fact with
regard to language. So lets continue,
the American public owes trillions in
usury, does it not?
TERRANCE
[V.O. - Isnt, that, great...]
People spend more than they earn.

(CONTINUED)

111.
CONTINUED:

THEODORE
Bondage. And you print the money out of
nothing, based on nothing, representing
nothing, and in fact nothing but an
idea. A concept. A spell. A spell in
accordance with the sensuous - that all
are born and sold into, bonded to pay
tribute, usury, interest - that which
did not exist created out of what is
believed to exist, or said, merely said
to exist - or in plain language, taxes,
or to render unto Caesar what is
Caesar's, that which did not exist
before - on what was once nothing at
all other than the pursuit of
happiness, an idea, any idea, of those
it was all wished by then imposed upon.
There is no law requiring anyone to
pay, specifically, income tax. I wont
even ask the expert witness this
because it is fact. The IRS, another
privately held corporation, is the
collection arm for the Federal Reserve,
again, a privately held corporation.
And they back themselves with the
threat of violence and actual violence,
and like Caesar make an example of some
- by common criminal acts of seizure,
imprisonment, public humiliation. That
they cloak under the opinions rendered
by the law to support every aspect of
forcing, intimidating people into
compliance. Isnt that so Mr. Tweedie?
TERRANCE
I dont know. I wouldnt quite phrase
it like that. Is that your opinion?-THEODORE
How would you phrase it Mr. Tweedie?
TERRANCE
People have a choice, and usually
choose to spend more than they have.
George Carlin even said this is the
American dream.
THEODORE
Yes, and he also said you have to be
asleep to believe it... Its forbidden
in the Bible to tax livelihood. That
Bible persons contract on in court by
raising their hand, which oaths are
forbidden, so is usury forbidden.
(MORE)
(CONTINUED)

112.

THEODORE (CONT'D)
And there is no law requiring a tax to
be paid on income. Isnt that correct
Mr. Tweedie?

TERRANCE
I, I, cant cite one off the top of my
head because I am not a tax attorney.
THEODORE
(long, heavy beat)
You dont have to be a tax attorney
Mr. Tweedie to recognize the sensation
of fraud. You said choice. Freedom of
choice? Freedom of simple choice to be,
and engage in common exchange was
undermined. And now... we have today.
The three-ring-circus of propaganda,
law, and commerce under the rule of
parasites. Nothing more, nothing less.
All by compliance. By compliance
through conditioning and imposed
ignorance -and for what?
(beat)
Maybe. Maybe to wake the hell up?
Sorry... your Honor, for the unseemly
word choice. But maybe, to wake the
dead up. The living dead, the person to
the reality of their enslavement - to
what and who issues the dispassionate
and neutral chains in the form of
mammon. Money.

Henry Ford, founder of the Ford Motor
Company, once said, It is well enough
that people of the nation do not
understand our banking and money
system, for if they did, I believe
there would be a revolution by tomorrow
morning. But, even more disturbing is
this quote of Mayer Amschel Rothschild,
Permit me to issue and control the
money of a nation and I care not who
writes its laws. The few who
understand the system will either be so
interested in its profits or be so
dependent upon its favors that there
will be no opposition from that class,
while on the other hand, the great body
of people, mentally incapable of
comprehending the tremendous advantage
that capital derives from the system,
will bear its burdens without
complaint, and perhaps without even
suspecting that the system is inimical
to their interests. The Rothschild
brothers of London writing to
associates in New York, 1863.

Your Honor, Im am so done with Mr.
Tweedie. So very done with questioning
him. And Id like to thank you for
coming here today, Mr. Tweedie. The
Federal Reserve System, and the entire
global central banking system, system
of Trusts, are being seen for what it
all is more and more every day. And one
day, when those are called to account,
those like Mr. Tweedie and his
contemporaries will simply answer: But
they never asked us.
(heavy beat)
Until then, good people will continue
to die as a result every day.

TERRANCE

Theodore stops and gives Terrance a look that kills.

The Marine Corps is evident on his wall.
SAMANTHA
May I say something?
WINSTON
Yes.
SAMANTHA
Lets just lay it all out on the table
here, all of us. This was a murder of a
Sheriff, now its a crusade against the
monetary and justice systems, even
religion. Where the hell is all this
going? Id really like to know.
THEODORE
Its going to prove I didnt kill him.
Thats what it will prove.
SAMANTHA
Because in your Sovereign and warped
mind you think the world owes you your
freedom-THEODORE
The world owes me nothing but the
chance to be free. Of all parasites.
SAMANTHA
I dont even know where to begin when
you speak in your language-Winston pulls two envelopes out from his desk drawer and plops
them down on his desk.
WINSTON
I want to know where these came from?
No one but us, and Woody wouldnt dare,
would have had access to the courtroom

Yes. Yes, your Honor, I put them there.
Under instructions.
WINSTON
Who? Instructions from who Ms. Watt?!

A priest.
WINSTON
A priest?!
SAMANTHA
A priest dressed in black. Not, not

dont know. There were others with him.
They scared the living hell out of me.
WINSTON
And probably used blackmail, maybe you
and youre estranged husband? Hes
kneeling at the altar, among other
places. Word gets around...
He pulls out the single sheet from both envelopes, holds them up

WINSTON
Okay, trust everyone had a satisfying

witnesses you would like to present?
SAMANTHA
Yes, your Honor, I would like to call
Lafayette County Deputy Sheriff Francis
Allen Garrity to the stand.
A rather effeminate but dutiful Deputy Garrity takes the stand,
porn-stache, a true Village Person.
SAMANTHA (CONTD)
Please identify yourself for the
record.
DEPUTY GARRITY
Sheriffs Deputy Francis Allen Garrity,
Lafayette County. Mississippi. But you
can call me Frank.
SAMANTHA
Okay, Frank. On the day of the death of
Sheriff Otha Lavelle, were you on the
scene?
DEPUTY GARRITY
Yes. I was, maam.
SAMANTHA
Please tell the jury what you saw
Deputy. I mean, Frank.
DEPUTY GARRITY
I was called to backup Sheriff Lavelle
and Deputy Marbury at the LeFleur
residence, maam.
SAMANTHA
Well, tell us what you saw.
DEPUTY GARRITY
As I was pulling in I saw a physical
confrontation between Deputy Marbury
and Mr. LeFleur. But I was quite a ways
up the driveway.

DEPUTY GARRITY (CONT'D)
I heard the first shot. That got my
attention even more. And noticed
Sheriff Lavelle fall backward, he was
shot clean to the neck. The second shot
then hit Deputy Marburys foot. Maam.

SAMANTHA
Whose hand was the gun in when it
discharged the first round that killed
Sheriff Lavelle?
DEPUTY GARRITY
To be honest, I couldnt see from my
vantage point. I just could not tell
you. But when Marbury hit the deck it
was in his hands. Mr. LeFleurs hands
were away from the weapon.
SAMANTHA
Are you sure of those facts Deputy
Garrity?
DEPUTY GARRITY
Yes. Yes maam I am. I didnt know this
was going to get violent. I wasnt
expecting this.
SAMANTHA
What do you mean by that, Deputy?
Her frustration is visible.
DEPUTY GARRITY
Well, I thought this was just to
deliver a notice. Not an eviction.
There was nothing on the [roster,
schedule] +++++ that said there was
anything at all going on at that
location. For the day. Maam.
SAMANTHA
Nothing at all?
DEPUTY GARRITY
No, maam.
SAMANTHA
Were Mr. LeFleurs hands on Deputy
Marburys weapon at any time?
DEPUTY GARRITY

No. Yes. I really cant say maam.

SAMANTHA
What do you mean, I really cant
say?! Do you know the defendant
personally?!
DEPUTY GARRITY
No, maam. Not at all! Know of him. But
I dont know him personally.
SAMANTHA
You said the first shot that killed
Sheriff Lavelle. It wasnt. It was the
second shot. The first shot is the
round that struck Deputy Marbury in the
boot. The second shot is in fact the
one that stuck and killed Sheriff
Lavelle, was it not?
DEPUTY GARRITY
Yes. Yes maam, it, it did happen that
way, Im a little nervous. Youre
right. Thats how it happened.
SAMANTHA
As nervous as you were pulling into
that driveway and seeing the violent
encounter you werent expecting to see?
DEPUTY GARRITY
Maam?
SAMANTHA
You really dont know what you saw that
day, do you?
DEPUTY GARRITY
I can be darn sure of one thing, maam,
I cannot say that Mr. LeFleurs hands
were on the weapon on the second
round... they were not!

No need to become defensive, Deputy
Garrity. I have no further questions
your Honor.

Right now? Me, for your own well-being.
Ive heard things through the

So thats who sent the lead greeting

You know good and damn well its about
one thing and one thing only - the

Money is a new form of slavery, and
distinguishable from the old simply by
the fact that it is impersonal - that
there is no human relation between
master and slave. Tolstoy. Its all
about slavery. Human capital
management. You know it, and I know it.
Our fucking careers were based on it.
JUDGE LANGFORD
To hell with Tolstoy. Itll be a
permanent calling card you wont be

familiar with this concept?
CARDINAL SPHINGEIN
To a degree. Yes.
HIS EMINENCE (V.O., PHONE)
You see, they have been attempting this
very thing, because they think they are
the beneficiaries of this Trust. But
theyre not the ones who invested
$650,000 to $1,000,000 dollars, for
example, on the Trust when the
Informants, that would be their birth
parents, to their respective State
Department of Vital Statistics in
whatever nation this applies to, which
is, ah, mostly all, who in turn
contracted and assigned all of those
Trusts to their respective national
Departments of Vital Statistics so this
investment could continue on a normal
corporate basis, where the Church and
the Nations could continue to benefit
on something that doesnt even belong
to them. +++++ Contact the best expert
on Trusts available through the U.S.
Justice Department, send them to Mrs.
Samantha Watt so she can keep this
unfortunate direction abreast of the
needs of both the Church and State.

WOODY
Yes sir.
INT. WINSTONS CHAMBERS - MORNING
Clock on Winstons chambers wall reads - 8:00. Winston,
Theodore, and Samantha are seated.
WINSTON
Something happened last night. Deputy
Cecil Marbury committed suicide. Blew
his brains out.
SAMANTHA

What? Thats so tragic, oh my god. Not
now...
WINSTON
Thats the really bad news, now for the

THEODORE

WINSTON
Youre both from this moment on under a

You will not leave the courtroom today,
as a matter of fact, you will not go
anywhere behind the BAR gates. You will
not speak to anybody else in this
courtroom and the Jury when you have
the authority to do so. You will speak
to no media. Newspapers. Radio.
Television. Not even check the fucking
internet. And there shall be no using
your computer to access anything other
than a file related to this case. All
wifi has been terminated in the
courtroom and the building.

SAMANTHA
Amazing. This is amazing.
WINSTON
Why Ms. Watt? Were you intending some
kind of exotic bullshit media maneuver?
THEODORE
I understand fully your Honor. Here.
Theodore hands him his cell phone. Samantha hands him two.
WINSTON
Thank you both. If you do not have all
the evidence you want placed before the
jury in this case, then youd better
have another witness to call because
there will be no rebuttal witnesses.
And, if the witness you want to call is
not on the witness list, they will be
disallowed. This was an Equitable
decision made by me.
THEODORE
Suits me fine your Honor.
SAMANTHA
(pressing)
Your Honor, considering the
circumstances in regard to Deputy
Marburys death; undoubtedly he wont
be able to continue his testimony on
direct. Nor will I be able to use him
as a lay expert. It is extremely
important, your Honor, for my case to
have an expert witness testify.

WINSTON
Ms. Watt, I do not see anywhere in any
pre-trial document that you were going
to put on an expert witness. And its
extremely late in the case to be
putting on an expert witness, but,
lets see how Mr. LeFleur feels about
this. Mr. LeFleur?
THEODORE
(smiling)
You can bring the Pope in if you want.
I would love to cross examine him.
WINSTON
Just what do you mean by that Mr.
LeFleur?
THEODORE
I have no problems with what Watt wants
to do. Let her have her have her expert
witness and let the chips fall where
they may.
WINSTON
So, Mr. LeFleur, you dont mind
Ms. Watt wants to do by calling
expert witness this late in the
without any prior notice of the

THEODORE
No your Honor. Like I said, let the
chips fall where they may. Ill take my
Equitable chances with the Common Law
Jury. As a matter of fact your Honor, I
will stipulate to Ms. Watts experts
qualifications without even reviewing
them!
SAMANTHA
Your Honor, with regard to the phones,
well, I havent even spoken to my
associates this morning.
WINSTON
What have we already discussed, Ms.

Californias, Nevadas, Washingtons,

I need to adjust my panties.
WINSTON
I can have a bailiff escort you into my
private rest room, if you wish. Oh, and
one more thing, you both will have your
closing arguments today. I will limit
you to thirty-minutes each and
understand that the jury shall
determine the outcome on both the law
that applies, and whether anyone has
done anything criminally wrong. As The
Honorable John Jay, the first Chief
Justice of The United States Supreme

Ms. Watt, you may call your last and

Thank you, your Honor. Id like to call
Ramsey Zeigeficker to the stand.
Ramsey takes his place on the stand. Woody swears him in.
WOODY
Raise your right hand please. Repeat
after me, do you solemnly swear to tell
the whole truth and nothing but the
truth, so help you G-d.
RAMSEY
I do.
SAMANTHA
Mr. Zeigeficker, can you please explain
to this Court what the theory is behind
the Bill of Exchange, and how there is
no way it could be used to pay off
someones mortgage?
RAMSEY
Well, Ms. Watt, it actually can be used
to pay off your mortgage and many other
obligations, and I will tell you how.
Samanthas gaze turns downward and to the left, with a lighter
shade of pale.
RAMSEY (CONTD)
There are several places from which all
laws have evolved from. Although, they
were not meant to continue evolving they have.
(MORE)
(CONTINUED)

138.
CONTINUED:
RAMSEY (CONTD)
The first book of laws, for example,
for Western society, was the Bible.
Within the Old Testament portion of the
Bible we see G-ds Law for mankind. We
see the absolute origins from what was
the basis for all law regarding the
bounty of this Earth, and especially in
regard to Adam in the Garden of Eden,
Adam, to most, an archetype referencing
mankind, was theoretically placed in
the Garden of Eden, in what would now
be termed today through a Trust
agreement, between G-d, Prime Creator,
Universal Source, Divine Providence, or
whatever term one wishes to view the
Creator of Perfect Origin of all that
is.

SAMANTHA
Just exactly what do you mean in regard
to the Trust Agreement?
RAMSEY
From the beginning, G-d trusted Adam
and wanted to continue trusting Adam. Gd implied that everything was meant to
be done by the unconditional trusting
and loving of one another, which
essentially created Trust Law, as
mankind would codify it. Why? Because,
thats the only Equitable way that an
exchange, a benefit, bounty, and/or
value between G-d, humans, or mankind,
would be honorable and benefit the
greatest good of all.
SAMANTHA
Mr. Zeigeficker, then, since theres
not a Trust Agreement here, and Mr.
LeFleur used some kind of exchange
document, a Bill of Exchange, to pay
off his mortgage, then is there
evidence of fraud?
RAMSEY
Well, I dont think you comprehend what
exactly I am outlining, Ms. Watt-SAMANTHA
Let me see if understand this, Mr.
Zeigeficker.
(MORE)

(CONTINUED)

139.
CONTINUED:
SAMANTHA (CONT'D)
I comprehend how people borrow money in
the state of Mississippi, and I
comprehend Trust theory, the Deed of
Trust, and when their mortgage is paid
off and their Deed of Trust is
cancelled. Now, what I dont
understand, is how someone can use
something called an exchange document
to pay off a mortgage and get a Deed of
Trust cancelled, when there is no
account or money associated with that
exchange document? Therefore, Mr.
Zeigeficker, wouldnt that be fraud?

RAMSEY
No, Ms. Watt, thats not correct. Back
in 1666 there was a Trust put into
place, and the name of that Trust is
called the Cestui Que Vie Trust act of
1666-SAMANTHA
But Mr. Zeigeficker, based on current
Trust Law once a Trust has been created
it only lasts from the time frame of
the person-in-being that the Trust was
created for plus 21 years.
(slight beat)
How can a trust last from 1666 up until
the present date, or further on into
the future?
RAMSEY
This Trust Act is that of a legislative
framework to allow a Trust to be set up
in the name of every person to
safeguard their hereditaments,
inheritances, and ownership interest
from criminals and their own ignorance.
SAMANTHA
(confused)
Im having trouble comprehending what
you mean by the prior statement and
its concept. Could you elucidate?
RAMSEY
Ms. Watt, the Cestui Que Vie Trust is a
Sovereign trust that protects those
people who cant protect their own
property while theyre either absent,
lost a sea, a minor or incompetent.

(CONTINUED)

140.
CONTINUED:

SAMANTHA
See? Excuse me, do you mean as you
cant see me, or sea as in ship sea,
or see as in you are blind, cannot
see?
RAMSEY
I notice that the gold-fringed United
States of America flag, with the ball
and claw, mind you, is missing from
this courtroom. And, also, Judge
Winston is not wearing a black robe.
So, Ms. Watt, do you comprehend what
you are asking or know what you are
engaged in?
SAMANTHA
(moment of silence, with a
dumbed-down look)
Ill ask you to explain that, Mr.
Zeigeficker...
RAMSEY
It is assumed, Ms. Watt, that all are
birthed into a sea, as in the metaphor
of oceans, of illusion, lost in a sea
of confusion - the fact that words
sound the same, yet may have different
spellings, is due to the fact that the
spelling, or direct desire of the
spell, or more detailed, the desired
effect is what is the first intention.
Words are reflections merely of
intention, and original definitions are
paramount. Id refer you to Blacks Law
One and the Authorized King James
Version of the Bible for original
reference with regard to these
proceedings.
(beat)
If you dont know the intended meaning
of the word, you are deluded.
SAMANTHA
So with regard to the Trusts we are
referring to... sea, or see?

(CONTINUED)

141.
CONTINUED:

RAMSEY
You can claim the benefits of your
Trust if you are competent in your
actions, and knowledgeable of the
illusion, and are no longer lost at sea
and have returned from the sea alive
and are on the land or you are no
longer a minor in the eyes of the law,
and can see.
(beat, breath)
Furthermore this Trust which was
instituted in 1666 by the United
Kingdom did not have any specific
controlling time-lines that would
entail a certain period that it would
last, remember, it was created to
protect those people who couldnt
protect themselves - primarily out of
ignorance.
SAMANTHA
Mr. Zeigeficker, could you please
describe some examples of where this
Trust would protect someone from
themselves, or some deceptive
intentional fraudulent means that would
usurp certain peoples assets?
RAMSEY
Okay, for example, to this very day,
living descendants of victims of war
crimes that were committed against
their ancestors are having properties
and entitlements re-vested and/or they
being paid compensation when they cant
be re-vested with the properties and
entitlements of their ancestors.
SAMANTHA
So are these the only things that the
Cestui Que Vie Trust act protects?
RAMSEY
No! It actually protects certain things
in perpetuity. Such as; the rights of
the living man in regard to the items I
stated previously, as well as certain
items that have very dim lights shown
upon them.
SAMANTHA
What do you mean by certain items that
have very dim lights shown upon them?

(CONTINUED)

142.
CONTINUED:

RAMSEY
Well, the first and most important item
is the Trusts creating the Birth
Certificate Bonded Trusts which holds
all entitlements of everyone.
SAMANTHA
What, then, Mr. Zeigeficker, do you
mean by that?
RAMSEY
Your parents provided the information
to the State office of Vital Statistics
of where and when their child was born.
(slight beat)
Under the New Deal during the Great
Depression following the catastrophic
stock market crash of November, Black
Friday of 1929, the government decided
to take control and remove the
foundation of the credit basis of
currency under the gold and silver
standard to stop the unbridled
borrowing of credit-based stock
purchases for stock market speculation.
Thats where the Glass-Steagall Act
came in.
(beat)
The government took all the gold from
the public and backed the Federal
Reserve notes with the good faith and
credit of the people, now you cant pay
or be paid with gold or silver as it is
against the law.
SAMANTHA
(surprised)
Exactly when did that happen?
RAMSEY
1933.
(slight beat)
June 5th.
(waves paperwork in the
air)
It was House Joint Resolution 192.
(beat)
And because of that Bill, a remedy was
given to discharge of lawful debts as
no gold or silver was available to pay
any debts.
(long beat)
And that is, in essence, The New Deal.

RAMSEY (CONT'D)
So now the criminals cant steal any
gold or silver, because you havent got
any, only paper and plastic notes which
represents value that you place upon
it...

SAMANTHA
What do you mean by that you place upon
it?
He paints his attention toward the Jury and Ms. Watt.
RAMSEY
After all, you are the value backing
the currency, not any gold or silver
because you are the creditors for the
money printed by the Federal Reserve.
Well, you are essentially slave-backed
mortgages that have become paper Bonds,
where everybody profited, except
obviously you.
SAMANTHA
Where does the Birth certificate fit
into this scenario?
RAMSEY
Well...
(long beat)
As this is a closed court and I am
under oath-WINSTON
And yes you are-RAMSEY
Your Birth Certificate, which is
printed on Bond paper, is a receipt and
proof of a financial instrument called
a Bond issued by the United States
Treasury Department to the Federal
Reserve which is very similar as slavebacked mortgages... such as was the
case with the African slaves were used
as collateral in order to procure more
money to purchase more slaves which in
essence created more Bonds that they
could mortgage to create more money.
Essentially capitalism at its best.
With regard to todays terms, is used
to authorize the printing of a quantity
of money to fulfill daily government
obligations; only race has no meaning,
as money in truth does not
discriminate.
(MORE)
(CONTINUED)

144.
CONTINUED:
RAMSEY (CONT'D)
These specific Bonds are now called
Government or Treasury Bonds.
(long, heavy beat)
You are pledged by the government to
pay the debt owed to the International
Bankers, that you are in fact first
creditors of the United States of
America, Incorporated, under
International Bankruptcy Law which is
why you have legal right to discharge
any private or public debt.
(long beat)
Because that is the law.
(beat)
That is, if, you are aware of it.

SAMANTHA
So who authorized all of this?
RAMSEY
Congress did, eighty-plus years ago,
its all on the public record if you
wish to spend the time to look it up,
Ms. Watt. As a matter of fact, history
has repeated itself, or more
accurately, eerily, the world prefigured the recent financial crisis in
which Wall Street securitization once
again stripped low to middle income
class families of their wealth. Its
cotton factory firms, like the now
defunct Lehman Brothers - founded in
Alabama - that became wildly successful
when Lehman moved to Wall Street, and
for all these firms, every transaction
in slave earned money flowing in and
out of the U.S. earned these Wall
Street firms a handsome fee. The
economic slave-trade still continues.
(slight beat)
Nothing is hidden. All is still in
plain sight.
SAMANTHA
But Mr. Zeigeficker, we have the
Constitution and Bill of Rights...
RAMSEY
Yes. You did. When the Constitution and
the original Bill of Rights had
meaning, not under a corporate edict,
and was enforced, about two-hundred
years ago.
(beat)

(CONTINUED)

145.
CONTINUED:
RAMSEY (CONT'D)
Ms. Watt, do you comprehend that the
Sovereign State of Mississippi is so
designated because of the State powers
reserved unto it and every State in
America by the Tenth Amendment of the
Constitution? Under the Tenth Amendment
the powers not delegated to the United
States by the Constitution, nor
prohibited by it to the States, are
reserved to the States respectively, or
to the people.

Samantha takes a long hard look at each and every Jury member,
bows her head, then a long hard look at Theodore, then Winston then Zeigeficker. The truth becomes apparent, and she aligns.
Takes a long sip of water. Winston appears relieved; Theodore
resolute without indication. Woodys eyes betray amazement.
SAMANTHA
Can you explain further about the power
reserved to the people?
RAMSEY
As long as Americans do not allow the
Federal Government, i.e. a corporation
which backs its power through the
threat and use of violence, or some New
World Order that believes private
people cannot handle their own affairs,
and should acquiesce to turning them
over, by bowing down to some greater
sovereign and dont allow those
entities based on mammon to usurp their
inalienable rights and privileges of
absolute essence of being born unto
them, and reflected in the
Constitution, then they shall become
and remain the free Sovereigns who
control their own destiny.
SAMANTHA
But, we are free and independent beings
here in America, arent we?
RAMSEY
Definitely not. Ms. Watt, I would not
say that Americans are the free and
independent human beings they believe
themselves to be. They are, in fact,
deluded.
SAMANTHA
Why is that?

(CONTINUED)

146.
CONTINUED:

RAMSEY
Now, that is the question I have been
wanting to answer Ms. Watt. The people
of America need to wake up and crawl
out of the slumber of their slavery, so
well perpetrated since before 1933!
Prior to 1933, in 1913, the Federal
Reserve Bank was supposedly created by
the Legislative branch of government.
Actually, the Senate never truly passed
the Federal Reserve Banking Act. There
were only three members of the Senate
present when a voice call vote on
December 23rd, in the late evening was
had. Of course it passed unanimously
because all other members of the Senate
had left Washington for the Holidays,
and prior to that, true opposition such
as John Jacob Astor, and other
prominent men of means had been either
silenced or eliminated from a position
opposition. Immediately after the vote
President Thomas Woodrow Wilson, the
28th President, international banker
sock-puppet, signed into law the
Federal Reserve Act of 1913 which
empowered the private few the ability
to control and issue this nations
currency. And control of currency, is
ultimate control of a population.
SAMANTHA
What do you mean, that the full Senate
didnt vote, and only three Senators
passed the Federal Reserve Act?
RAMSEY
Yes Ms. Watt, it does really matter,
that the U.S., Inc., nor the American
government owns the Federal Reserve
Bank.
SAMANTHA
Really?! Who does own the Federal
Reserve Banking system?
RAMSEY
The Federal Reserve Bank is a private
corporation that has twelve different
corporate subsidiaries, in twelve
regions in America. ++++AMOUNT OF
CENTRAL BANKS IN THE WORLD.
(MORE)

(CONTINUED)

147.
CONTINUED:
RAMSEY (CONT'D)
I, for one person, cant verify who
owns the Federal Reserve Banking
System, nor can I determine who the
stockholders are, as it is a closely
held corporation owned by what I have
been told by some of the worlds
wealthiest men and their family
members.

SAMANTHA
Does it really matter as long as the
Federal Reserve Banking system does
what the Federal Government tells them
what to do?
RAMSEY
The problem is that the Fed does not
have to do what the Federal Government
or what the people of the U.S. tells
them what to do. They have no more
obligation to that necessity than
Starbucks or Wal-Mart. The Fed does not
need permission to create money. Look
at this one-hundred dollar bill, it
does not say U.S. Bank Note, or U.S.
Treasury Note - it says Federal Reserve
Note. Americans have been constantly
programmed over the past half-century
or more that they are in debt, and when
Congress spends money it is called
deficient spending!
(slight beat)
You see, the United States is not the
only nation with a privately held
central banking system. There are about
176 nations whose monetary systems are
guided by the same animal, just by
different names and obviously
locations. There is also located in

the central bank for all central banks
throughout the world; its the oldest
international financial institution in
the existence, formed in 1930 to hasten
reparations from Germany to victors of
the WWI. Its called the Bank for
International Settlements. The mission
of what is commonly know as B.I.S. is
to serve central banks in their claimed
pursuit of monetary and financial
stability, to maintain international
cooperation in those areas and to
simply act as the bank for all central
banks. And what most who are aware of

do not know is that it is a superstate: accountable to no country, the
United Nations, or any other supranational organization or alliance. And
their affairs, also, are private. Only
internally audited.
(long beat)
Ms. Watt, the people of this country
have no idea if they are or are not in
such great debt. How can a private
bank, such as the Fed, that has never
been audited, help the American people
determine whether the U.S. is truly in
debt or not, especially when this bank
can create as much currency as they
want whenever they want to?

Samantha is silent. Winston takes a long, reflective moment-WINSTON

Anything else Ms. Watt for Mr.
Zeigeficker?
SAMANTHA
(equally pensive, quiet)
No. No more your Honor...
WINSTON
(to Zeigeficker)
Id like to ask you something. Are you
sure there has never been an audit of
the Federal Reserve?
RAMSEY
No, your Honor... and, theres not
likely to ever be one.
WINSTON
Why is that?
RAMSEY
Again, because - its private.
Winston, feeling mild disgust, merely shakes his head.
WINSTON
Mr. LeFleur, do you wish to cross
examine the witness?
THEODORE
No, your Honor, I feel hes given all
the evidence necessary to confirm my
standing.

Winston enters the VA facility, passes the nurses station and
asks a nurse, Lawanda, what Rexs room number is. Hes carrying
a boxed bottle of Jim Beam Distillers Masterpiece bourbon.
WINSTON
Maam, pardon me, can you tell me what

(smiling)
You, youre on the jury of the LeFleur

LAWANDA
Yes, your Honor sir I am. And its all

Arrives at Rexs door, knocks.

Cooome in.
WINSTON

Hello Sheriff Parsons.
REX
Well hey there Judge! Certainly, well
come on in!
WINSTON
I enjoyed your presence in court the
other day and for your thoughts on
Marbury, and Ive brought a small token
of my appreciation for your lucid
account of the events.
Winston slides open the lid, removes and hands Rex the bottle.
His eyes light up.
REX
Always wanted to try this! Was a bit
out of my league bein retired and all.
Go lock the door, some tumblers on the
dresser over there. Gonna have to hide
this.
WINSTON
These?
REX
Naw, them larger ones over there.
Winston pops and pours.
REX (CONTD)
(elated)
Awwwwww. Wont be needin these
medicines tonight. Thank you Judge. You
can have them if you want.
WINSTON
No, no I have plenty of my own. The
reason why Im here, Rex, seeing you
have such a good memory, do you recall
a fellow named Burns about fifty years
ago? Charles William Burns?
REX
Yes, I, yeah, there was a fellow I
remember named Burns.

WINSTON
If he was alive how old would he be?
REX
Damn near a hundred give or take.
WINSTON
Thats him. Can you tell me about him?
REX
He was murdered by a single gunshot.
Thatll be about, oh, hold on... 1960.
WINSTON
Tell me about him.
REX
He wadnt liked by a soul. A wife
beater, a bigot over the worst
Klansman, from a wealthy family in
town, and a mean bastard and thems
about the best things I can think to
say about him. Had his hands in too
much. Ran with the Dixie Mafia too.
Half-wit lowlifes. And, word was, he
was a cold-blooded killer.
(beat)
With a Burns, you could be guaranteed
to get stuck between a handshake and
gettin fucked, but good.
(beat)
His son aint worth a shit neither.
WINSTON
What happened after his death?
REX
He was shot, werent no witnesses. So I
got the deputies to go around and get
statements from all of the folks that
had bone to pick with him, and that was
everyone, and I mean everyone, so they
all had alibis, and it took bout two
weeks. By the end of two weeks we had
two-hundred and thirty-one statements
of alibis and no suspects. We just gave
him to the coroner and that was the end
of the matter.
WINSTON
Was there any further follow up on the
case?

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

REX
Hell no. Let sleeping dogs lie. Whoever
did that, Judge Parker, ought to be
given a fuckin medal.
Winston smiles against the paradox of emotions hes feeling.
WINSTON
Justice was served.
REX
Hell yes, around here things got real
quiet for at least ten years.
WINSTON
Did anything at all further happen in
that case?
REX
(self-amused)
Yes. Well, after the funeral the coffin
was taken to the cemetary, and they got
hit with sheets of rain from a big ole
thunderstorm as they was lowering the
coffin in the ground. So, the grave
diggers and everyone left, and later
that night someone backed up a concrete
truck and dumped a cubic yard of
concrete in the hole.
WINSTON
How do you know it was a cubic yard?
REX
See that mess of things on that wall?
The small one with the red frame?
Thats the bill.
TIGHT - Framed bill.
WINSTON
Is the family still around?
REX
No. After the concrete incident the
family just tucked tail and headed over
on to Northern Louisiana, Shreveport or
thereabouts. Not sure. Course, Billy
came back.
WINSTON
(eyes twinkle)
Billy might be leaving again soon.
Here, my friend, to a job well done.

They drink, Winston rises, gives Rex a long, firm handshake and
makes for the door. Winston stops at the door without turning
around, nods, and exits. NOTE: The Requiem Mass in D minor (K.

The desire for power and control, in any form, at any level, is

When a government is dependent upon bankers for money, they and

not the leaders of the government control the situation, since
the hand that gives is above the hand that takes Money has no
motherland; financiers are without patriotism and without
decency; their sole object is gain. Napoleon Bonaparte,
Emperor of France, 1815
"The Jesuits are a MILITARY organization, not a religious order.
Their chief is a general of an army, not the mere father abbot
of a monastery. And the aim of this organization is power
power in its most despotic exercise absolute power, universal
power, power to control the world by the volition of a single
man. Jesuitism is the most absolute of despotisms and at the
same time the greatest and most enormous of abuses."
Napoleon I (i.e., Napoleon Bonaparte; 1769-1821; emperor of
the French)

Alas, I knew they [i.e., the Jesuits] would poison me; but I
did not expect to die in so slow and cruel a manner. (1774)

in 1773)

The [German General Reinhard] Gehlen Org, the German

Intelligence Agency run by [Knight of Malta] Reinhard Gehlen,
was even more powerful than the Merk net. The Org superseded
even the Nazi SS In fact, Gehlens organization is largely
credited for giving rise to the CIAto shield Gehlen and the
entire German Intelligence network from harms way.

Gehlen was a ranking official in the Sovereign Military Order of

Malta (SMOM), which maintained inconceivable financial support
and political influence Somehow I wasnt surprised to learn
that financial motiveswere at the heart of the SMOM and the
Nazi-American alliance Soon after the war, OSS [i.e., Office of
Strategic Services the forerunner to the CIA] found the
extensive documentation of a meeting...between representatives
of the [Nazi] SSand firms likeI.G. Farben [The] worlds
masses knew nothing about the partnership, formed between John
D. Rockefellers Standard Oil Company, Germanys I.G. Farben,
and Hitlers Third Reich. The pirates of Wall Street, Allen
and John Foster Dulles, of the law firm Sullivan & Cromwell, had
secretly negotiated the alliance. It was not known to allied
airmen, flying bombing missions over Germany, why the I.G.
Farben plants, where Hitlers munitions were made, were exempted
from attack. Likewise, when the I.G. Farben Rockefeller
Consortium used concentration camp victims as slaves to build
and run their factories it never made the news Nor was it
heralded that this same TEAM patented and sold the gas that the
Nazis used in the concentration camps to send millions to their
graves. Recent headlines have asked to know where the Nazi gold
went. Historians only recently recorded that the Rockefellers
Chase Bank [manned by a high Knight of Malta, Joseph J. Larkin]
was among the largest recipients
