Fake Nations
Why bother with a small-time scam, when you can run a scam based on your
own country! Apparently, some fraud artists have realized this, and there
has lately been a proliferation of Cyber-Nations, which of course are cyber-scams.
These particular cyber-scams often have several things in common, and are
relatively easy to identify.
-
First, none of these cyber-scams have bona fide claims to territory.
Instead, they have claims which are patently crazy, such as to Antarctica,
or they claim land which has long been claimed by an existing, legitimate
nation.
-
Second, none of the governmental operations of the cyber-scams are actually
conducted on the territory which its claims. Instead, most governmental
operations take place in the United States or some other recognized country.
-
Third, the cyber-scam's government is not derived from the governance
of any peoples, but instead was created out of thin air by the fraud artists.
-
Fourth, to perpetrate the scam, these alleged countries will sell (from
the U.S. or other recognized country, of course) bank licenses, insurance
company licenses, corporations, and trusts, etc.
-
Fifth, all of these cyber-scams make wildly misleading claims about having
been recognized by a major nation, or having "de facto" recognition from
such major nation. But to the contrary, the law enforcement bodies of
the major nation will probably have issued warnings about this scam.
Keep these factors in mind as we examine several
ongoing fake nation scams.
Kingdom
of Enen Kio
Allegedly off the Marshall Islands lies the Kingdom
of Enen Kio. Run by one Robert Moore, the self-appointed "Minister Plenipotentiary"
of the Kingdom, this scam listed its address in court documents not in Enen
Kio (which doesn't exist), but at "P.O. Box 8441, Honolulu, Hawaii, 96830".
What court documents? The Kingdom's lawsuit against
the United States, of course. Seems that this scam jurisdiction brought a
suit in its own High Court (chuckle, chuckle) against the United States for
"adverse possession" by "King Hermios" of "Northern Ratak Archipelago", oh
and also for $170 million plus interest.
Mr. Moore then filed this judgment in the United
States District Court for the District of Hawaii, seeking to get the U.S.
Court to recognize the judgment. The U.S. Court entered a "show cause" order,
whereupon Mr. Moore immediately voluntarily withdrew his petition to recognize
the judgment, with little ceremony.
So why does the Kingdom exist? To support its modern space port of course.
Essentially, the Kingdom copies plans for a spaceport to be built in Hawaii
on to its website, and called it a day (that's all you need to be a major
space power isn't it?).
What to be careful of? This scam (and the Principality of New Utopia which
follows) sounds so stupid that you would be amazed if somebody fell for it.
Yet, look further into the Kingdom's website, and you will see how they expect
to make money from this scam: By issuing $500 million in (bogus) "Gold Bonds"
at $250,000 each with a face value of $500,000 - which amount of course is
uncollectable considering that the Kingdom neither exists nor has any significant
assets other than its bogus claims to disputed land.
Enen Kio is a complete scam, as the Marshall Islands
Newspaper recognized in a story carried December 2, 1994, with Mr. Moore's
face under the heading "Is This Man a Bald-Faced Liar? The AG Thinks So".
The article also stated that the Marshall Islands AG at that time was considering
investigating Mr. Moore for fraud.
Hardly a propitious beginning, eh? Check out the Kingdom's website at http://www.enenkio.org/
EnenKio_web.htm and be sure to go to the documents section and pull
up the Marshall Island's newspaper article so that you can get a good look
at Mr. Moore.
At least the Kingdom is attempting to claim land
which exists, no matter how spurious those claims are. Let us now move to
another fake nation which has no land at all . . .
Enenkio
Page
Principality
of New Utopia
What would happen if you took a bunch of abandoned
Gulf of Mexico oil platforms, hauled them out into the middle of the Caribbean,
and lashed them together over a reef?
Why, you would have the Principality of New Utopia,
of course!
That was the original idea, and the oil platforms have been dumped in favor
of just building huge pillars into the Caribbean sand. And now they've also
added modern jet service, to be provided by Utopian Air Lines, and will also
feature Airship Service (giant blimps, as yet built by a company in Dallas).
When you get their, you can further your education at the Utopian University,
which has a Medical School which emphasizes research on longevity.
It is in the area of longevity that the Principality
will have a leg up on everyone else, because of the experience of its founder,
one Howard Turney (a/k/a Prince Lazarus) of that Caribbean hotspot known as
Tulsa, Oklahoma, who in the past had some connection to longevity drug scams.
Indeed, the Securities & Exchange Commission
has recently become interested in Turney because of his efforts to sell Utopia
bonds with which the project will be financed. According to an SEC press release:
"Today Judge Michael Burrage, United States District Judge for the Northern
District of Oklahoma, Tulsa Division, granted the Commission's request for
an emergency restraining order to halt a fraudulent nationwide Internet scheme
involving the offer and sale of a bogus $350 million bond offering. According
to the Commission's Complaint, Lazarus R. Long, a/k/a/ Howard Turney, and
doing business as New Utopia, used an Internet website called "New Utopia"
to entice and solicit investor funds for the development of a supposed new
"tax haven" country called "New Utopia." This new country
would be located approximately 115 miles west of the Cayman Islands. According
to its website, New Utopia is a country that will rise from the Caribbean
on giant concrete platforms built on an underwater land mass. In addition
to offering the unregistered bonds, Long represented that currency investments
in New Utopia would yield up to a 200% market rate of return. "Prince"
Long used E-mail to tell investors that they could buy a New Utopia government
5 year note at 9.5%, and invited them to become charter citizens of the new
country. Long has also touted his Internet offering through the use of print
and radio media, including the London Times, Dallas Morning News and a nationally
syndicated radio show."
Selling worthless bonds isn't the Principality's
only scam. For $35,000 you can get a license to form a "Class A" bank, for
$5,000 you can get an "internet bank license", or for $10,000 you can get
a "trust license", presumably allowing you to form trusts if the Principality
is ever formed. Still, somebody has wasted their time in drafting full corporation
and trust laws, apparently in the expectation that someone would actually
be dumb enough to pay them for their services.
But if you are going to use these services, you
had better be a good swimmer. The Principality of New Utopia is one of two
fake nation scams which starts out "under water" - and in more ways than one.
The only place you can visit the Principality (and have a look at a photograph
of "Prince Lazarus") is at its website at http://www.new-utopia.com
Dominion
of Melchizedek
The Granddaddy of all fake nation scams is of course the Dominion of Melchizedek.
Started in prison by two convicts in the pokey for land fraud, the Dominion
has had an almost magical existence as it shakes off bad publicity after bad
publicity to keep selling worthless bank licenses and promoting its "Ecclesiastical
Sovereignty".
Yes, the Dominion has been featured in a variety of magazine and news articles
- all bad. The Washington Post has been especially unkind, and we have repeatedly
labeled the Dominion a complete scam (which it is). The Dominion was even
uniquely featured at the Financial Fraud Convention by John Shockey, formerly
with the U.S. Comptroller of the Currency. Shockey had delegates from over
100 nations rolling with laughter as he described the wacky antics of the
Dominion's promoters.
But Shockey also described the scam aspect of the Dominion, which is that
it attempts to sell bank licenses and other things, all from the United States.
And this is one thing which distinguishes the Dominion as a fraud, instead
of the legitimate nation it claims to be.
While depending on the time of day, the Dominion claims Antarctica and a
reef in the middle of the Pacific (which the
Wall Street Journal characterized as "an underwater seamount"), no operations
occur in these areas. Instead, all solicitations for business occur in the
United States or some other nation, and business operations are intended to
take place there.
Despite the Dominion's claims that it has been "recognized" by the United
States (it hasn't), and that the U.S. courts have recognized the DOM (they
haven't either), the Dominion has the reputation of being a scam, and various
law enforcement agencies have issued warnings specifically directed at the
Dominion and its "banks". Worse, DOM banks are routinely used to perpetrate
frauds, such as the recent Caribbean Bank of Commerce scandal, which bank
claimed to be operating under a DOM bank license. So, when not directly defrauding
people with bogus licenses, the DOM is facilitating fraud by providing entities
for use by other criminals.
You can read about the Dominion, including many excerpts from the articles
critical of it, at http://www.quatloos.com/
groups/ melchiz.htm or even if you are not prepared to travel to Antarctica,
you can visit the Dominion on the internet at http://www.melchizedek.com
Fake
Nations Scam Proliferates
These three aren't the only fake nations, but just the most high-file ones.
Lately, we have seen a rash of fake nation scams, including the Kiue Thlingit
Nation (purportedly in Alaska), the Principality of Ponderosa (run by Prince
"Little Joe" Rigoli in Austria no less), the Country of Oceanus (run by "Admiral
M.W. McClosky in Manset-Seawall, Maine) and the Kingdom of Landreth (whereabout
unknown, run by the "Baron of Leslie").
All of these "nations" are scams - but that hasn't prevented them from "recognizing"
one another an appointing legations to each others' scam.
Recognizing
Fake Nation Scams
This sounds pretty complicated, but is in fact easy to do. The only reason
you would deal with another nation is if your home country recognizes their
banks, trusts, corporations, etc. How you determine this is easy: Has your
country appointed an official Ambassador or Consul to this other nation?
If your country has not established formal diplomatic relations with the
alleged country, it is a giant red flag that you are dealing with a scam,
and cause alone not to deal with that country. These scams will present a
lot of alleged evidence that they have been "recognized" or "de facto recognized"
or similar nonsense, but they will be hard-pressed to prove legitimacy in
the absence of an official Ambassador from your home country - meaning that
you should not deal with them, period.
The
Omega Program
After five long years, victims of one of the longest-running
bank debenture scams of the 1990s have finally realized that they have been
scammed. Yes, we're talking about Omega and Destiny, two programs in which
funds were pooled so that investors (called "lenders") could invest in various
bank debenture programs. The problem is, as we have repeatedly chronicled,
is that bank debenture programs do not exist.
The bank debenture scam is one of the best-known
to law enforcement, because it became so prolific in the mid-1990s. The storyline
is that there is a "secret" banking system, in which the "prime banks" and
the ultra-wealthy make trades that yield 70% per week and upwards. According
to the storyline, so called "little people" (small investors) don't have the
money to enter into these transactions, so they must "pool" their funds together
and let someone who does have a magical "in" to this system invest for them.
This is, of course, a total scam. The bank debenture
scam has resulted in literally hundreds of prosecutions for securities fraud,
and none of the defendants in those securities fraud cases could even introduce
a shred of evidence that this "secret banking system" exists. Virtually all
law enforcement agencies in all countries put out warnings that about bank
debenture scams (also called HYIP and MTN scams, among other names), and it
was the subject of discussion at the Financial Fraud Convention held in London
this past spring.
Over the years, we have seen literally hundreds
of these scams, by way of victims who have contacted us for information. No
such program has yet proved to be valid, and as noted the SEC has successfully
prosecuted hundreds of people for pitching this scam. Moreover, we know many
of the officers of the world's real "Top Banks" and we can assure you that
they laugh with the rest of us at the mere mention of the "secret banking
system" - correctly pointing out that the mathematics are such that if such
a system even existed, that one such bank would within a couple of weeks own
all the currency in the world (which of course they do not).
Information regarding Bank Debenture / HYIP scams
can be found at
http://www.quatloos.com/stkscams/hyips.htm
Listed at the bottom of that page are some examples of people who have
or are being prosecuted for running a bank debenture scam. If you want to
read some more, go to the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov
under the non-Edgar database and type in "prime bank" - you will see everything
you need to know.
So what does this have to do with Omega? Because
Omega is premised on the fact that its promoters could "pool" the funds of
Omega "lenders" and enter this secret banking system (which doesn't exist).
When we first starting looking at Omega, we thought
that it was just another Ponzi scheme, where successive layers of investors
are paid out as an inducement to others. Turns out that Omega was not a Ponzi
scheme at all - to the contrary, it was just 100% pure fraud. Nobody was paid
out anything, except that apparently a dribble of money is released every
now and then as "proof" that moneys exist (they don't).
There is no "secret fund" of Omega moneys waiting
to pay out disappointed Omegans (as they call themselves). Instead, their
moneys were scammed from them, not recently but up to five years ago when
they first bought into the scheme. The Omegans are just now coming to the
reality that their entire prospect of a payout was based on the bank debenture
programs which have been proven time-after-time-after-time to be a total scam
and without any validity in the real banking world (secret or not).
Although the investors were sold "units" which
represented "loans", it is clear that these units were a security as defined
by the Securities Act of 1933, and that the sale of these units without registration
or prospectus amounted to securities fraud. From what we can deduce, some
of the "lenders" were also told that they would not have to report what they
obtained from the alleged big-payout on their income taxes, or else it would
be paid in an offshore account - conduct which would clearly be tax evasion.
The amazing thing is that years after being scammed,
the Omega investors continue to believe. This is probably because the Omega
promoters chose to market to a group of people often preyed upon by scam artists,
meaning the elderly and the poor - relatively unsophisticated people who lack
both the means or knowledge to adequately investigate the fact that they have
been scammed or to report it to law enforcement.
Virtually every month the Omega scam announces
a new date for the alleged big payout, and exhorts its victims to "just hang
in there" for a little while longer. Fortunately, some people have waited
just a little too long, and we soon expect to see the Omega program as a source
of interest in the major newspapers - and not for paying out.
There are a few Omegans still exhorting the other
Omegans to "just hang in there" and not take their complaints to law enforcement
as they should. Whether these people are linked with the promoters, or have
just been hoodwinked to an enormous extent, are not known. What is known is
that attempting to persuade people not to report the existence of a crime
can amount to the separate crime of obstructing justice, so it is possible
that even some of these otherwise innocent investors might be called on the
carpet.
Unbelievably, there are still some people who
are selling units in Omega; doubtless these folks also would have tried to
sell berths on the Titantic after it hit the iceberg. Another scam apparently
involves the sale of "refund units" in Omega - i.e., you throw good money
after bad in an attempt to get your first moneys paid back. Unfortunately,
law enforcement is watching this like a hawk, and there would be no way for
the Omega promoters to make a substantial payout even if they had the money
to (which they don't).
What if you have bought in to Omega, what do you
do? The first thing to do is that you must come to the realization that you
have been scammed, and that you are not going to get the big payout promised
to you. The second thing you need to do is to realize that if you have any
chance of getting your money back, it will be by way of a "Victim Restitution
Order" against whoever sold you your interests. Thus, the third thing you
need to do is contact law enforcement immediately, preferably your local office
of the Federal Bureau of Investigations and State Attorney General. Fourth,
you ought to talk to your attorney or accountant about sending your Omega
promoter a 1099 for the amount you lost - making them liable for taxes and
possibly giving you a deduction for the amount you lost.

Principality
of Camside Scam
Yet another fake nation scam is the so-called Independent Sovereign State
of the Principality of Camside, which claims that it is the true owner of
Australia. In fact, sCamside has no territory and exists only in cyberspace
at their cheapie website at http://www.principalityofcamside.cc
As with the other fake nation scams, the sCamside sells worthless companies,
theirs being evidenced by “Business Registration Certificates”
for $60 each. But wait! sCamside will also allow you to use your E-Gold account
or credit card to purchase a citizenship (yeah, and we’ve got a cloud
we’d like to sell you a piece of!).
What makes the sCamside fraud unique is that it is tied to one of the strangest
scams of all times, the NESARA
cult/scam by a woman named “Dove” in the Washington area who is
more than a few fries short of a Happy Meal and who has urged the removal
of President Bush (apparently Dove is a big Saddam Hussein supporter). Of
course, just like the other fake nation scams the people behind sCamside have
not just a few screws loose. sCammers of a feather flock together.
Like any other fake nation, sCamside is also tied to a bunch of other cheesy
deals, including “health solutions” and an amazingly ugly Australian-built
helicopter company. They don’t have a spaceport yet, but that can’t
be far from the making.

NESARA & Prosperity Moving into View
Date/Time: 29th June, 2002 07:03am Source: Dove of Oneness
In the last few days, there have been special audits done on our prosperity
funding bank accounts, due to some interference that occurred earlier this
week. Whenever there are audits of our prosperity funding accounts, the current
rules require that NESARA and our deliveries wait until the audits are completed.
The audits are now completed, and ALL is WELL with our accounts.
Yesterday the World Court had 41 countries in court, trying to stall NESARA's
U.S. and international implementations. The World Court decided to keep the
MAJOR benefits of NESARA on the existing schedule, which makes certain improvements
very immediate, and others are carried out over the next few months, following
NESARA's announcement. This means the Bush government WILL be GONE within
three hours of the initial NESARA Announcement, and we are still on the fast
track for having our U.S. banking and government improvements effective, as
of the NESARA Announcement, including bank debt forgiveness.
The World Com stock market dive, is JUST a COVER STORY, for the manipulations
of the dark agenda European-based groups, who have always secretly controlled
our stock markets and our U.S. government. They were hoping to cause a massive
crisis, that would be an excuse for Bush Jr. to declare his dictatorship.
However, the White Knights and Beloved Ascended Master, Saint Germain, and
others, have repeatedly moved the stock market averages back UP, to protect
our people and their wealth. When the full NESARA economic activities are
implemented, even after this downturn in the Dow Jones Average/stock market,
people will effectively KEEP their wealth, that they had prior to the downturn.
It's been months since I've written the details on why, however, this is still
the case, and it will make sense when we see the NESARA Announcement.
Also, did you notice that the big uproar about the "pledge of allegiance",
came the day after MANY networks were carrying the news, that there was ZERO
Boeing commercial airliner that hit the Pentagon on 9/11? Well, we have seen
a CLASSIC dark agenda ploy, to DIVERT our ATTENTION away from things they
want us to ignore, and they want us to ignore the FACT, there was ZERO Boeing
airliner that hit the Pentagon on 9/11. A small plane filled with explosives
and remotely controlled, was flown into the exact part of the Pentagon, where
the White Knights' communication centre for supporting the NESARA Announcement
was located, and ready to go on 9/11. I reported this TRUTH, about a small
plane hitting the Pentagon, about a week before this news came out of France.
We can ignore this silliness about the "pledge of allegiance. All this
uproar is worthless, since NESARA completely NEGATES that dark agenda-controlled
Judge's decision about the "pledge of allegiance".
We have TWO MASSIVE and CLASSIC examples, of how the dark agenda have controlled
our world, with the World Com-stock market scam, and the "pledge of allegiance"
ruling scam. Most of time when we see some big news uproar, it's to DIVERT
attention, and is based on a dark agenda-manipulated event.
I'm continuing to get things ready in my own life for the NESARA Announcement
and our prosperity programs deliveries in the U.S. Beloved Ascended Master,
Saint Germain, has been extending the WINDOW for our prosperity deliveries,
and He is definitely getting our deliveries to us in the near future. He had
hoped that the White Knights would have our deliveries out to us by today,
however, it's MOST beneficial to us to have NESARA announced first, and right
now, it looks like when we see the TRUE NESARA being announced, we will know
that deliveries are close behind. If the plan changes, I will inform you.
Keep up the good work, all of you who are continuing to write to the U.N.
and the World Court, telling them WE REQUIRE the true NESARA law announcement
NOW! Keeping the pressure on, is definitely HELPING to move NESARA forward.
It's also extremely valuable PROOF, that the world's PEOPLE are READY for
NESARA! This week, the World Court has received over 260,000 emails demanding
NESARA's announcement, and the U.N. Secretary General has received over 302,000
emails, calling for NESARA's IMMEDIATE announcement! Our emails demanding
NESARA's announcement, are providing validity for those who are determined
to announce the true NESARA law ASAP! Let's keep our emails going, and TELL
the World Court and U.N., WHY we MUST HAVE the true NESARA law announced immediately!
I understand that the VOLUME of our emails is SO LARGE, that at times this
week, the mailboxes have become full, and a small number of emails have bounced
back, until the mailboxes for the World Court and U.N. were enlarged. So resend
your emails if this happened to you – THEY DO WANT to HEAR from US!
I know there continues to be interference with the Dove Reports reaching
some of you, because I have over 300 Dove member's email addresses in the
Bouncing List, and until I UN-bounce these email addresses, these people will
not receive their Dove Reports. There are some websites which post the Dove
Reports, and I strongly URGE you to check these websites, if you fail to receive
a Dove Report, by the end of the day. Unless I have severe interference, or
some very unusual situation, I do a Dove Report EVERY DAY, at some time during
the day. One of the websites where you can read Dove Reports, and HEAR the
Dove Voice Report, is http://www.fourwinds10.com - make a note of this website
address, and if you ever miss a Dove Report, you have a back-up place to read
the Report.
You may also access all of the Dove reports via the website at Principality
of Camside in Australia at:
http://www.principalityofcamside.cc/
Government/ USA/ NESARA/ NesaraMain.htm
There are many activities in process, to ensure that we do have the TRUE
NESARA law announced, and our prosperity deliveries in the U.S., and the world,
within the NEAR future. The NESARA Announcement could come anytime now, as
soon as certain security precautions are completed, and our remaining U.S.
prosperity programs deliveries are set to go anytime as well.
