Nunk Pro Tunk, now as then, the Office of the President, Our Great White Brother in Washington, D.C must be of a good understanding in regards to the Trust and Treaty obligations that carry equal weight to the U.S.Constitution at law in all Courts of Equity. Our individual Advanced Directives carry Sovereign Weights and Measures of our means, that belong to us, and not the U.S Do not syphon our resources, and monies into your off shore accounts in Guam, and the Camen Islands and elsewhere. We are watching you like the world is watching how you treat us . Afterall who financed the satelites anyway? And which side is your bread buttered on? And under Dollarhide v. Montgomery Wards, a dollar of feathers is as valuable as a dollar of waste sludge. So with all due respect for the interagency office and the Office of the President of the United States, I can explain it to you, but I can not understand it for you. Do you need an interpreter for your special needs? I use interpreters when I am confused. Maybe you should too!
