We have had money in many different forms. Money is a unit of measurement, and as such it (measurement of value) was accomplished with tally sticks, tying knots and paper money could do the same thing, the only problem is that our money isn't an abstract idea that fulfills the function of measurement, but a commodity itself, which means we haven't done anything other than Traded directly one commodity for another. Money exists to  facilitate trading, but what we know as money is a bastardized concept of it's original purpose, and even if it's backed up by Oil, both Crude and Oil Products, it's still in the hands of the manipulators who can and who have manipulated all precious metals and non precious metals alike, all raw resources including Oil, and who will do so in order to bring about the neofeudalism that motivated and keeps motivating them still. With that in mind we aren't powerless, people keep waking up and demanding their bank accounts be private and not personal which is another word for corporate, and their money be represented by actual *money*, like the American Silver Dollar, which is a measure weight of 99% pure silver, and people will keep realizing that the IOU notes we know as Federal Reserve Notes won't be redeemed and represent nothing but the promise to pay sometime in the future when we have actual money to do that with, which begs the conversation of Debt vs actual Value for labor. Others are taking these corporations to the chopping block, and liquidating everything to pay off the Creditors, which are us, and this will continue. These banks are either in Chapter 7 bankruptcy of Chapter 11 insolvency because of their parent charters were bankrupt not long ago or dissolved because of the insurmountable fraud. 

>There is no "United States Treasury", no "Treasury of the United States", no "Department of the United States Treasury"------none of that. Those are just names for subcontracting bill collection agencies, tasked to collect rents and fees and taxes from you under false pretenses. There are no functioning public offices operating under those names. These are just privately owned and operated entities functioning under old trademarks they bought-----mostly from Bill Clinton, who sold the trade and service marks of old government agencies the same way that a brand name like "Twinkies" might be acquired by a creditor in bankruptcy or as a result of a corporate merger----and used to spin off a new product merely using the "Twinkies" name. **That's what happened with Wells Fargo Bank. It no longer exists. It's just a familiar trade name. What you've really got there is a Chinese-owned securities firm operating under the trade name "Wells Fargo Bank" when it's not even a bank----just a clearing house with bank functions.**
