JONATHAN MAY STORY

Jonathan May Story



Jonathan May attempted to free us from the shackles of the Federal Reserve by creating an alternate banking system with instruments backed by land, raw materials, mineral deposits, oil, coal, timber, and other wilderness holdings. Jonathan aided Governor Connolly and the Hunt brothers in their effort to corner the silver market. The silver would have been used to create a "Bank of Texas" issue of "real money". This would have destroyed the Federal Reserve had the Hunts been successful. When the world bankers realized what was happening, they destroyed Connolly, the Hunt Brothers, Jonathan May, and Texas.



The Federal Reserve entrapped Mr. May by intentionally routing his credit instruments through the Federal Reserve, against the terms clearly stated upon those instruments, instead of through Mr. May's alternate system. Jonathan May was illegally arrested, illegally tried, and illegally imprisoned in the Federal prison at Terre Haute, Indiana. The world power structure has stolen Mr. May's idea, which will be used as the banking system of the New World Order and is known as the World Conservation Bank. Jonathan has served four years of a fifteen-year sentence.

Telling Time: July 27, 1990

I SWEAR BY ALMIGHTY GOD THAT THE EVIDENCE I NOW GIVE IS THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH, TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, BELIEF AND RECOLLECTION. I DO SO SWEAR UNDER THE PENALTY OF PERJURY UNDER THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA - SO HELP ME GOD.

I was born into a privileged life-style in North Devon, England, the third and last child and only son of a wealthy, land-owning family. I was privately educated and left school early, determined to join my father's business and not be encumbered with the authoritarian atmosphere of school. I did so by getting myself expelled. I was, I believe, nearly sixteen. At once I began to work as a livestock broker as my father and his family did and still does. I also farmed. I then branched into other goods, buying for customers using my contacts to supply items at a lower cost and better quality items at the same cost than normal retail suppliers. I was very successful. My business continued to expand. Management was highly vertically structured, and diversification was as lateral as I could possibly make it. It continued to thrive. I developed a sophisticated tax-shelter system which was lawfully capable of removing taxation liability from the majority of my own and my colleagues' incomes.



At age 20, in my twenty-first year, numerous old documents - family heirlooms from my mother's side of the family - were given to me as its last remaining male heir. Among these old documents was an Indenture issued to an ancestor of mine, settling upon him "and his heir and assigns in perpetuity for the duration of the term hereof" the responsibility and authority of Trustee for certain property, goods, chattels, etc. As far as I can recall, the document was dated "In this Year of Our Lord One Thousand, Six Hundred and Forty Seven". The document - a parchment with the Royal Seal of England still attached - constituted a Trust indenturing my ancestor, et. al. for a 999-year term as trustee for the property named. The parchment was signed by "Charles Stuart Rex Of England, France, and Ireland King" - Charles I.



Knowing nothing of such matters, I consulted lawyers. They determined the document was genuine, that a trust had been established by the British King Charles I and that its original trustee had been my ancestor, and that - as a matter of law - it could not be broken, the British monarch then - and still - being the Supreme Head of the Judiciary in the United Kingdom. Also as a matter of law, the trust was an operative entity, under the provisions of which I, as the remaining male heir, was the responsible trustee. However, it had clearly been inoperative for as long as anyone could remember. Shares certified from "The Dheli & Punjab Railway" and other such antiquated relics - seemingly unredeemed still - were with the trust charter. Successive charters endorsed by successive British monarchs were with the original one as well.



It was determined that sub-trusts - subsidiaries - should be formed at once, under the grandfathering precepts of the original 17th century charter. Out of the air, I decided that 4,000 such subsidiaries would be formed as non-domiciled entities, governed under the plural and simultaneous governments of all the nations of the world which were non-Communist.



Between the months of September 19, 1969 and February 15, 1970, these 4,000 charters were printed and recorded in a register. These were numbered, prefixed by "No. SSR/647/". The first was chosen to be the common trustee entity for the remaining 3,999. None could be recorded in any one country. Doing so would have given the country of registration some prior-claim taxation ability. For this reason, the Register of the 4,000 entities was kept in the constant custody of myself as the recorded sole-signator of record of the original trust which we named "The International Equity Trust". We decided to call the group of sub-trusts "The Sovereign Charter Trust Group". This main group was then subdivided into the Sodalitas Trust Group - comprised of the administrative, in-house members whose activities were to be coordinated by and through a board of directors known as The Trustee's Directorate Body. The remaining trusts were to have been sold/leased as tax-shelters to sundry third parties for the fee of 20% of the total tax liability saved by the client using the trust for this purpose, ie. without one of our trusts - a tax liability of $100,000, but with one of our trusts - at a cost to the client of $20,000 - a nil tax liability.



In 1969, lawyers advised us that the only problem we faced was the taxation authorities' propensity to arbitrarily state that our trusts were a non-entity but that they would be protected from taxation anywhere worldwide by legislation once proof positive was available that they had been alive as artificial persons for twelve years. My local home-town lawyer had counter-endorsed the Register under every page, and the 4,000 trusts were "born", ie. chartered between September 19, 1969 and February 15, 1970. Accordingly, I determined that I should continue my business enterprises for another twelve years and then simply sell or lease out the 3,999 trusts at either a flat fee or by the 20%-of-taxes-saved formula - and use the proceeds, in part, to re-determine the what, where, why, and when concerning the assets of the original trust.



During the years that followed, I became more and more diversified and made sound commercial contacts all over the globe. Increasingly, my fees and commissions were being paid to me in differing currencies. This brought my attention to their differing interest rates and who, in fact, it is who determines which currencies are loaned at which rates. I discovered that a minute cartel controlled all banking policies worldwide, and that the provision or non-provision of "money" was all-controlling.



As my reputation as a finder of the unusual at a fair price grew, I, with my colleagues, began to realize that there was considerable resistance throughout the conventional financial markets to "entrepreneurs". Highly determined but very independently-minded individuals were not at all welcome in "normal" banking circles. There was a very real need in the independent business communities throughout the world for alternative credit facilities to properly and fairly provide for entrepreneurial needs - a window in the market for them between new venture capital and died-in-the-wool conventional business capital.



We decided that, in a wholly novel and independent manner, our loosely connected but highly respected circle of "middle-men" would become providers of capital for our established clients all over the world. Independent credit/capital sources in the Middle East and elsewhere, and several substantial private placement arrangements were made, first between ourselves and our investors and subsequently between ourselves and the users of those investments. We chose to take a minimal intermediary fee but retain a non-working but joint-venture/profit-sharing interest in many of the enterprises capitalized by our investors. We did find that there were never enough investors to be found. Otherwise, everyone seemed content.



Like many arrogant and foolish young men before me, I tended to advertise my financial success. I grew headstrong. The local small-town police force began to watch me and became a significant nuisance, stopping me for tires, speeding, etc. etc. I started a butcher business and again made a significant success of it, also in my hometown area. My success meant the loss of trade by my competition. My premises were burgled successively, and soon insurers would not insure me. I provided my own deterrent. I rigged a "loaded shotgun" sign outside of my premises and inside the coldstore placed a very lifelike loaded shotgun and trip alarm for anyone thinking of again stealing my property, as uninsured thousands had already been stolen. The local police arrested me for setting a man-trap with intent to endanger life. My intent, quite obviously, was to protect my property, so I was very properly acquitted of this foolish charge against me.



Having been advised not to rig up any such device again, I purchased a young mountain lion as a "guard dog" to continue to dissuade any would-be thieves. With 20-20 hindsight I realize that was not an appropriate thing to do. I began to be a minor celebrity in my little country town, and the local police were thoroughly incensed that the charges against me had been dropped. I had become something of a target. My "high profile" was not working for me. By this time, because of my motoring offenses and the publicity resulting from the trial and the mountain lion, my family all but disowned me. I made it my business to establish exactly who it was in the local police force who was instigating my problems. It was no lesser man than Inspector Goldsworthy. I hired people to watch his activities and it came out that he was involved with drug importing.



The information supplied to me was that Goldsworthy had an aged mother in Plymouth, England, whom he used as an excuse to make frequent trips there from North Devon, but in fact he was met there by individuals who were delivering illegal drugs to him. There was no way of establishing for certain if such was the case. The people I had been paying were not professionals. I felt it was time to hand the matter over into professional hands though, and I did so. Almost at once this particular Inspector left the North Devon area.



Word came back to me from different sources, probably the result of one of the two people I had employed to follow Goldsworthy talking carelessly, that Goldsworthy's subordinates on the local police force were going to get even. The harassment grew to overwhelming proportions. For example, a hunting trip with authorized shotguns locked in my car under a blanket in the back seat became "having a loaded shotgun in a public place". Was one of my guns left loaded? It would have been a first and only time. Can the inside of my locked car be a "public place"? But my car was in a public car park, so the court upheld the conviction.



The next two experiences originated with a "friend" who subsequently admitted to me that he had agreed to doing two things in return for not being prosecuted by the same local police force. He sold me a dinghy and gave me a pair of boots. Both were stolen property and I was convicted of stealing and receiving them respectively. Fines were imposed. I realized finally that I had no prospect of leading a civilized life in my birthplace, so I left the U.K. and came to the U.S. to try to establish a new, unsullied life.



Between 1980-4, I simply made contacts and conducted no business beyond consultancy. I generated little money for myself. I lived for the most part on the money I'd made in Europe during the '70's.



I was in the process of suing my local bank manager and Mssrs. Barclays' Bank for multiple contraventions of The Banking Act when I left England. One of the "enemies" I'd made in England was a solicitor who had given me very bad advice and then had the effrontery to charge me for it. He was a close friend of my local bank manager. During my absence from England he sent me a bill for about $2000 - a final demand - and then obtained a judgment order and a personal bankruptcy order - all without my knowledge until I returned some five months later. I am certain it was done to thwart my lawsuit against Mssrs. Barclays' bank. In England, once adjudged bankrupt, one may not sustain any lawsuits at all. I immediately left England again and rearranged all my assets so that I was not in violation of the U.K. bankruptcy laws. I also obtained a U.S. Visa for Business Purposes.



In 1983 or 1984, the trustee of The Sovereign Charter Trust Group was recorded as a client of the Oklahoma Trust Company, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Rand Everest - C.E.O. It had become necessary to become more visible within the U.S. Little if any business was done with Oklahoma, save using it as a depository for some of the Sodalitas Trust Group's Private Placement Commercial Paper.



Outside of the jurisdiction of The Securities Exchange Commission, exclusively upon a private placement basis, The International Equity Trust began at this time to place its paper in commercial situations worldwide.



Professional third-party geologists determined by core-testing that the actual assayed content of nine sections of gold/silver-containing properties "conveyed, bartered, and assigned unseverably" to The Sovereign Charter Trust Group in 1980-1981 consistently down to the assayed depth of 160 feet - was a minimum of one half ounce of gold per tone (cubic yard) and up to 10 ounces of silver per tone over the entire nine square miles and beyond. Geological surveys confirmed that these properties and the acreage adjoining had once been a significantly large lake fed by numerous streams from the Rocky Mountains. Over the millennia, considerable quantities of gold and silver had been washed down to the lake bed.



Under the Equal Rights Doctrine - the very cornerstone of the national heritage of the United States of America - with these nine square miles' worth of gold and silver deposits, The Sovereign Charter Trust Group was endowed with a very considerable portfolio of assets. The determination was made that the physical worth of those assets, congruent to and parallel to comparable entities in the public sector, would be used via the production of commercial private placement paper to generate liquidity of a sufficiency to establish the wholly independent credit facility needed throughout the secondary financial market to fill the "middlemen's window" in that market. Between 1982-1983 and 1985-1986 a considerable amount of face-value long-term maturity paper - private placement "Prime Capital Notes" was issued by The International Equity Trust for and on behalf of the seven trusts which owned the aforesaid gold and silver deposits.



An ultra-conservative system of checks and balances was instituted by the Directorate Members of The International Equity Trust under the chairmanship and C.E.O. authority of the undersigned. Further applying the Equal Rights Doctrine of the United States to our private placement policy, I and my colleagues determined that in order to properly reflect the value of the gold and silver we had acquired, it was necessary to establish a minimum possible value and use it as our represented maximum benchmark. This way, there could never be any question of misrepresentation instituted against us. In order to further insulate ourselves from any such charge, we determined that our "paper" was to present itself only upon a private placement basis throughout its "life" in the secondary markets. Both safety features were built into our private placement issue of paper as irrevocable and unconditional prerequisites of its issue.



The International Equity Trust, in its capacity as plenipotentiarial fiduciary trustee for the Sodalitas Trust Group (the administrative in-house members of The Sovereign Charter Trust Group) was and is the only authorized issuer of the group's Private Placement Prime Capital Notes. Such issue may not occur in any circumstance, save and except that the seven asset-owning trusts into whose custodial possession the group assets are placed all independently agree, each through their sole guardian/signator(s), that such Issuance is appropriate and acceptable. Such independently-arrived-at and mandatorily unanimous agreement to so issue must be confirmed in writing by each of the seven trust's sole guardian/signator(s) of record and issued to The International Equity Trust in Official Memorandum format before such private placement paper may be issued. The circumstance of issuance was so made properly accountable.



The face value of the paper was likewise properly and strictly controlled. The Sovereign Charter Trust Group's asset base - initially the aforesaid gold and silver deposits and subsequently also real property comprising over 517,000 acres (surface and minerals) would and shall never, under the terms of the unseverable policy of The Sovereign Charter Trust Group's senior administrative decision-making body The Governing Chapter, be encumbered by debt beyond a one quarter volume. That means that for each certified $100 of the asset base no more than $25 of face-value private placement paper may be in existence. The reasoning behind this very conservative policy was and is that the ultimate credit facility which was being prepared for in the early '80's with this issuance of paper and the accumulation of assets, was never to find itself over-extended. An unquestioned and unquestionable safety feature ever present within each facet of the new facility was that thus none of its component parts would ever be in a position of insolvency.



For administrative purposes, three differently captioned documentary instruments were used. Each was a Private Placement Promissory Note. Each constituted a Zero Coupon instrument, ie. a promise to pay a final due-date figure in the future comprised of both the principal sum and the interest thereon accrued. All three instruments were referred to as "Prime Capital Notes" but one was also called "Bill of Exchange", one a "Notice of Acceptance", and one, as far as I can remember, an "Indenture". "Bills of Exchange" were used when the recipient's business need was both to increase their asset base now in exchange for equity in such business in perpetuity. "Notices of Acceptance" were used in situations where the recipient's business need was both to increase their asset base and to become affiliated with or a member within The Sovereign Charter Trust Group by placing such business and/or its owners within the framework of one of the group's trusts. "Indentures" were used exclusively on an in-house basis among the various members, associates, and affiliates of the Sodalitas Trust Group.



The formula determined upon by the Directorate Body of Trustees was as follows:

Asset Base 100 - Paper Liability Maximum Aggregate @25 = AAA

Asset Base 100 - Paper Liability Maximum Aggregate @33 = AA

Asset Base 100 - Paper Liability Maximum Aggregate @50 = A

Asset Base 100 - Paper Liability Maximum Aggregate @66 = D
