HODGES AND ASSOCIATES UPDATES

[misisipiflyer]

« Thread Started Today at 7:25pm »

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As all are by now well aware, we have been battling a serious headwind, obtaining Economic Receipt. Although I have previously stated that I would not provide an “update” until we had confirmation of economic receipt or, I became convinced that payment to CMKX shareholders would not be forthcoming in a timely manner, I believe a further update is called for due to the status of the CMKX litigation and due to the unreasonable length of time resolution is taking. Please be advised as follows:
• As previously indicated, the August 2 Court hearing was utilized, in part, as a means of conveying to the Judge and to the defendants, some of the additional information which could be added to the originally filed Complaint; this information has now been included in a First Amended Complaint which, out of an abundance of caution, has been filed and served today, September 16, 2010. We will continue to aggressively pursue this matter until such time as all shareholders have been paid.
• It has been a very unreasonable period of time since we first began this litigation. Shortly after filing the original Complaint, I advised you of my opinion that resolution was imminent. I am confident that many of you are now convinced that I either don’t know the meaning of that word or am certifiably non compos mentis. Unfortunately, neither is the explanation; in point of fact we, and many others involved in bringing this matter to resolution, have been consistently lied to and ‘played’ by our own government.
I do remain convinced that we will prevail. I know that the SEC is anxious for this to be over; however, it is not particularly the SEC that has held things up, IMO. We are, like it or not, tied to the World Global Settlements payouts. Until that process has been concluded, I do not believe that you will receive your payment.

As always, inquiring minds want to know: what is our status; what has been going on; what is holding up economic receipt; when will our money be released; etc. etc.? I will try to address some of these concerns, to the extent I am able, separately:
1. Our Status – Our status remains pretty much the same as before. We remain literally on the thresh-hold. This means that the “work” remaining to be finished will not consume more hours than can be accomplished within one day; we have been at this point now for way too many months. However, progress in consummating the World Global Settlements has been made, which is a substantial improvement. I have now been advised that nearly all of the BASEL list items [some 20 in number] have been paid out; only one or two items remain IMO.
2. When is Release – The CMKX distribution funds will be released within a very short time after there is confirmation of Economic Receipt. What does that mean? There is in process a massive shift of wealth within the US and the world community which includes: pay-out of all the domestic prosperity settlements; institution of the US dollar re-funding project; pay-out of world settlements; and, distribution of funds to many other programs. This involves a total of more than $42 Trillion. Economic Receipt occurs when all trustees have access to all of the funds they are responsible for. When the last BASEL item is paid, we will have ER and the CMKX trustees can begin distribution, IMO.
3. Goings On – What’s been going on behind the scenes is a war. As I said before, there is an economic war raging in the background; this war is between those who have controlled this planet for the last hundred and fifty years, and we who think that it must stop. It is a war which, as much due to world circumstance as anything else IMHO, we seem slowly, inexorably winning. Because the naked corruption in D.C. is so endemic, it takes time. These miscreants are, in effect, fighting for their lives – at least that part of their lives that secures an environment in which they can continue to lie, cheat, steal, and mortgage your progeny’s lives, all for their personal gain. Accordingly, they will fight until the doors are all closed by a power that they cannot subvert. The good news is, we are winning the battle.
4. When - When will it be over, you ask; when will we get paid? I have suggested dates in the past, each of which was based upon information that I had received from the people on the scene and in the trenches. I am unwilling at this point to say anything more than I believe it will be soon: 1) because of the status of the World Global Settlements; 2) because I have received anecdotal information regarding movement of CMKX funds; and 3) because of additional information received concerning the status other related payments being made.

I again want to extend my heartfelt thanks to those of you who continue to demonstrate support and encouragement for our efforts; I am especially thankful for all of the IM good wishes and thank-you’s. I remain very optimistic for the long term; rest assured that the fight will continue until we succeed. We will prevail!

Re: World Global Settlement Funds



Dear Dr. Lacker:



I represent Mr. Lindell H. Bonney, Sr. with respect to the World Global Settlement funds; Mr. Bonney has both a personal ownership interest and a fiduciary interest in such funds. I understand that these funds, in the approximate amount of 14+ Trillion Dollars, are currently held in trust for Mr. Bonney and are ready for immediate disbursement. Please be advised that I also represent certain other payees of these World Global Settlement funds.



Pursuant to the agreement reached between Mr. Bonney, the Federal Reserve System, and other interested parties, all of the subject funds being held in trust by the Federal Reserve, in the amount of 14+ Trillion Dollars, are to be transferred to the Wachovia Bank, Richmond, VA Branch located at: 3501 West Broad Street, Richmond, VA, [phone]. These funds are to be placed in a Master Custodial Account at Wachovia Bank, and identified by name, to wit: “Mr. Lindell H. Bonney, Sr., Custodian.”



Should you have any questions or require additional information, please contact the undersigned directly. I will appreciate receiving written notice of the transfer including confirmation that all of the subject funds have been received by the custodial bank. Thank you in advance for your courtesy, cooperation and prompt attention to this matter.

Re: World Global Settlements



Dear Mr. Holliday:



I represent Mr. Lindell H. Bonney, Sr. with respect to collection of certain funds previously being held by Bank of America; Mr. Bonney has both a personal ownership interest and a fiduciary interest in such funds. I also represent certain other payees of the World Global Settlement funds. I have previously corresponded with Brian T. Moynihan, President and CEO of your bank regarding these funds. (Copies are attached for your information).



The purpose of this correspondence is to put you and each member of the Board of Directors on notice of the malfeasance of Mr. Moynihan, and perhaps others in your Bank, in connection with the refusal of the Bank to disburse monies due to be paid to Mr. Bonney in his personal and fiduciary capacity. We were initially advised that the funds could not be disbursed because information regarding specific account numbers was not available; when the particular account numbers and personal identification information was presented at the Bank of America in Richmond, VA, Mr. Bonney was advised that the money was unavailable to be paid out.



We were able to determine that in fact, through the offices and authority of Mr. Moynihan, the totality of these funds were utilized by the Bank on either a five or ten day cycle which allowed the Bank to be paid 3% per day of the principal; we have now received confirmation that the Bank has been paid 3% per day of the total amount of funds being held by the Bank for distribution for Mr. Bonney. These actions are obviously in violation of a plethora of Federal Laws and banking regulations, and expose the Bank to both criminal and civil RICO actions.



In the event that you and/or any of the Board members wish to discuss possible resolution of this issue please contact the undersigned directly; if I fail to hear from anyone I will pursue all available remedies, including disclosure of these defalcations to the media.



Very truly yours,

Re: World Global Settlements Pay-Out



Dear Mr. Moynihan:



As you have been advised, I have been retained by Mr. Lindell H. Bonney, Sr. to collect certain funds currently being held by Bank of America, in which he has an ownership and/or a fiduciary interest. Pursuant to my written notice to you of August 19, 2010, Mr. Bonney, and his assistant Dana Wilcox, arrived at the 1111 East Main Street, Richmond, VA branch at 10:00 AM this morning for the purpose of completing his business with all of these matters. I had specifically requested that an authorized officer of the Bank be available to accommodate Mr. Bonney and his assistant for the express purpose of facilitating collection of all funds currently being held for him, for Argo Trust Corporation, and for certain other payees.



Your representatives were unable to assist Mr. Bonney in any useful manner notwithstanding the fact that he had, in his personal possession, all necessary personal identification and authorizations. In view of your inability and/or unwillingness to accommodate disbursement of these funds, please be advised that the Bank of America will be charged a total of three percent (3%) interest for each day that these funds are withheld. When the Bank is desirous of terminating these charges, please contact me directly.

Re: U.S. Dollar Refunding Project



Dear Honorable George Osborne:



I write to you once more in furtherance of matters raised in my prior correspondence on behalf of my clients Michael C. Cottrell, B.A., M.S., of Erie, Pennsylvania, USA, and his corporations: Pennsylvania Investments, Inc., registered in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and Cottrell Securities Limited, registered in England and Wales.



The events of the past week are both tragic and untimely. By post, dated July 16, 2010 we received notice [copy attached] of the passing of Mr. Christopher Story, FRSA: Because of Mr. Story’s rather intimate past involvement with the U.S. Dollar Refunding Project, Mr. Cottrell wanted to provide assurance to all parties that provisions had been made, and are currently in place for the project to proceed as originally conceived and on schedule.



Please be advised that Michael C. Cottrell, Pennsylvania Investments, Inc., and Cottrell Securities Limited are fully prepared to accept the U.S. Dollar Refunding Project loan proceeds from the Royal Monarchal Power or nominee, and to proceed immediately with implementation of all requisite activities to accomplish the defined goals of the Project. If I can provide any additional information or help, please feel free to contact me directly

Re: U.S. Dollar Refunding Project



Dear Honorable George Osborne:



I write to you once more in furtherance of matters raised in my prior correspondence of June 25, 2010; I understand that you have received instructions regarding my approach, and the various points raised in my earlier messages. Your assistance is most urgently required in addressing these matters, and the apparent disavowal of earlier agreements made and reaffirmed at previous G-8 meetings concerning the U.S. Dollar Refunding Project. I write on behalf of my clients Michael C. Cottrell, B.A., M.S., of Erie, Pennsylvania, USA, and his corporations: Pennsylvania Investments, Inc., registered in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and Cottrell Securities Limited, registered in England and Wales.



The events of the past week are difficult to understand, and impossible to tolerate. I am advised and understand that the Lienholders executed a foreclosure and management takeover Fri-Sat 2-3 July of Deutsche Bank in Frankfurt, Germany, and of Bank of America in Charlotte, NC. They "cleaned out" both banks of people working for the opponents and cleared toxic debt [including derivatives] off the bank balance sheets. Accordingly, they took DB out of the control of Angela Merkal and opponents in Germany, and they took BOA out of all possible control by the opponents in this country. As a result of these actions, it was expected that the World Global Settlement funds could be distributed this week.



These funds were available for distribution on Tuesday, July 6. Because George Bush Sr. was initiating interference, the Chinese authorities then had a “talk” with Bush Sr. By Wednesday afternoon a full Compliance Officer meeting had been conducted, and the appropriate parties were again prepared to initiate the transfers when Mr. Leon Panetta, pursuant to instructions from President Obama and George Bush Sr. issued instructions to the banking authorities to “placate but do not pay;” this prevented the authorities from making any such transfers. I am advised that the Chinese authorities then had another “talk” with Bush Sr., and all was ready again on today, July 7, and set to commence @ 3:00 PM EDT.



At approximately 3:00 PM EDT, I am told by several sources, George Bush Sr. apparently contacted President Obama and instructed him not to allow release of the funds. Bush Sr. then advised the President that if the funds were released, Bush would “go to the Supreme Court and have Obama’s Presidency terminated.” In accord with these instructions, the payout of the World Global Settlement funds has not proceeded.



THE PAYMENTS PREVIOUSLY AGREED TO AND SET FORTH ON THE BASEL LIST HAVE NOT BEEN MADE AS A DIRECT RESULT OF THESE CONTINUED DELAYS. Direct intervention through your good offices on behalf of the Royal Monarchal Power, is absolutely required to bring this matter to conclusion. To secure release of these Settlement funds, it is imperative that your power as one of the U.S. Treasury Lienholders, be exercised with such force as may be required to effect completion.



I respectfully plead that you utilize the inherent Royal Monarchal Power at the earliest possible moment to ensure completion of this funding. Thank you in advance for your assistance; please contact me directly if I can provide any additional information or help.



Sincerely,

Re: U.S. Dollar Refunding Project



Dear Honorable George Osborne:



I write to you on a most urgent basis in furtherance of matters raised in my prior correspondence to Buckingham Palace; I understand that you have been instructed and made aware of my approach, and the various points raised in my earlier notices. Your assistance is most urgently required in addressing matters of world financial concern, and the apparent disavowal of earlier promises to accept U.S. Dollar Refunding Project agreements made and reaffirmed at earlier G-8 meetings.



I most recently wrote to the Palace on May 28, 2010 to solicit the assistance of your government in securing the release of funds being held in the U.S. which are required for implementation of the U.S. Dollar Refunding Project. I write to you again in furtherance to that subject, on behalf of my clients Michael C. Cottrell, B.A., M.S., of Erie, Pennsylvania, USA, and his corporations: Pennsylvania Investments, Inc., registered in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and Cottrell Securities Limited, registered in England and Wales.



The events of the past few days are particularly troubling. As of the afternoon of June 25, 2010, I am advised and understand the following:



· World Global Settlement funds had been collected and were in the custody of the Bank of America in Richmond, Virginia.

· Said funds were sufficient to cover all disbursements to be made by the authority of the Paymaster for the purpose of concluding these transfers in accord with the BASEL agenda.

· On May 27, 2010 US President Barack Obama personally intervened in the scheduled May 27 release of funds, and instructed that the funds be held until after the U.S. Memorial Day Holiday.

· I personally wrote to President Obama, protesting his actions, a copy of which was also submitted to the British Royal Monarchal Power; Mr. L.H. Bonney, Sr. personally verified that a copy of the letter was submitted to, and received by, Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II through MI-5 and MI-6.

· US Vice President Biden was also provided a copy of the May 27, 2010 letter and acknowledged the veracity of President Obama taking direction from former President G.H.W. Bush; he indicated that President Obama’s citizenship status was being used as very effective leverage against the President, and also admitted that he was personally compromised.

· Mr. L.H. Bonney, Sr. has confirmed at Bank of America that no communication has yet been received from President Obama regarding authorization for release of the Settlement funds.

· On June 23, 2010 Mr. Bonney advised that “they are letting the Obama/Bank of America people believe they are in control” giving them rope to hang themselves, and after 5:00 PM the funds will be release to his custody; he also advised that the Chinese lien-holder will act on Thursday in accord with the Special Foreclosure.

· Although moneys for complete payout were confirmed by the Federal Reserve/Bank of America, US Vice President Biden was at the same time advising authorities that he is ready to “move on, and out of the White House.”

· On Thursday, June 24, 2010 Mr. L.H. Bonney, Sr. advised that payment must be released to him by noon or there would be “hell to pay;” Vice President Biden was unable to obtain immunity such that he could “move on” even though Hilary Clinton had voiced a desire to be appointed Vice President of the US.

· The Chinese lien-holder was insisting on payment release after funds had been reconfirmed, even though a further attempt was made to steal the funds by Obama’s California banker, Carlson; as a result, all of Obama’s bankers and most (if not all) of the Bushs’ bankers have now been arrested..

· On the evening of June 24, a video tele-conference between the “company” and the Connecticut Trustee (Paul Sigue) regarding release/movement of funds was held; there is a concern that if the funds are released, stolen funds will also be moved and paid to the Bush/Clinton cabal.

· Mr. Bonney also advised that the Foreclosure Date is not June 24, 2010 – it is actually July2, 2010; although Mr. Bonney advised that three trusts would be paid out on June 24, such payout would not include payment for the U.S. Dollar Refunding Project, or anyone associated with it; Dana Wilcox later advised that any payouts made would include all parties.

· As of 10:30 AM EDT this morning of June 25, 2010, the display screens at Bank of America, Richmond, Virginia were blank, indicating that the funds had been removed; no information was available to any party or payee regarding the location and/or distribution of such funds before 12:30 PM, which results in a further delay until Tuesday, June 29, 2010.

· Just prior to the 12:30 PM deadline, Dana Wilcox verified that at least $ 4.7 Trillion of the funds had been removed to an unknown location; accordingly, he advised Mr. L.H. Bonney, Sr. to call MI-6, Her Majesty the Queen, Geneva, Switzerland, and San Marino, Italy to inform them that the FUNDS ARE MISSING and HAVE NOT BEEN PAID OUT or released to Mr. Bonney.

· All members and attendees at the G-8 and G-20 meetings should be made aware that THE PAYMENTS PREVIOUSLY AGREED TO AND SET FORTH ON THE BASEL LIST HAVE NOT BEEN MADE AS A DIRECT RESULT OF THE ACTIONS OF OBAMA, ET. AL.

· As of 1:15 PM EDT this afternoon, the Bank of America in Richmond is now alleging that THE PAYOUTS HAVE BEEN MADE AND RELEASED TO MR. BONNEY



I am persuaded by these facts, that direct intervention of the Royal Monarchal Power through your good offices, is absolutely required to bring this matter to conclusion. To secure release of these Settlement funds, it is now imperative that this power, as a U.S. Treasury lien-holder, be exercised forcefully to effectuate resolution. Any further delay not only jeopardizes the severely stressed world financial condition, but serves to encourage those seeking even further delay.



This is a matter which can now only be concluded at such time as the Royal Monarchal Power utilizes the power which has been granted; direct intervention is imperative. Thank you very kindly in advance for your help; it is truly appreciated by many, and will have significant impact on the future financial health of the world.

Re: World Global Settlements



Dear Mr. Williams



I write to you on a most urgent basis to solicit the assistance of INTERPOL in securing the release of funds now being held in the U.S. for distribution to some 20 line item trustees/payees as defined by the recent BASEL conferees, which distribution has been pending now since January, 2010. I write to you as counsel for Michael C. Cottrell, B.A., M.S., of Erie, Pennsylvania, USA, and his corporations: Pennsylvania Investments, Inc., registered in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and Cottrell Securities Limited, registered in England and Wales, and as counsel for some 50,000 shareholders of CMKM Diamonds, Inc.



As of noon time on this date, I am advised and understand the following:



· World Global Settlement funds have been collected and remain, inter alia, in the custody of the Bank of America in Richmond, Virginia.

· Funds sufficient to cover all disbursements to be made by the authority of the Paymaster have been confirmed this date to remain in the custody of Bank of America.

· The Paymaster authority, Mr. Lindell H. Bonney, Sr., has spent more than eight weeks over the past three months, in Richmond, for the purpose of concluding these transfers in accord with the BASEL agenda.

· Mr. Bonney and his associates have returned to Richmond this date for the purpose, again, of concluding these transactions; they were then advised by the U.S. Senate Banking Committee Chairman and the U.S. Senate Finance Committee that such transfers could not proceed as they continue to be blocked by Mr. Leon Panetta, among others.

· I have previously written to President Barack Obama and to Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II; copies of this correspondence are attached hereto for your information and review.

· Any further delay in disbursement of these funds will engender considerable harm to many, and is without any legal basis. I hereby urge your assistance and request intervention by the several plane loads of INTERPOL agents who have been sworn to assist in ferreting out financial misdeeds, and bringing the miscreants to justice. .



I am persuaded by these facts, that the direct intervention of INTERPOL is absolutely required, from this time forward, to assist the Paymaster authority in fulfilling his instructions to finish these settlement payments, and to finally bring this matter to conclusion. Release of these Settlement funds, which has now been delayed for nearly six months, must be made forthwith.



It is now imperative that this matter be concluded; further delay is simply unacceptable. Such delay not only puts all of us in jeopardy, it encourages and emboldens those who seek to destroy not only these Settlements but the entire world structure. I respectfully demand that INTERPOL act consistent with the charter given to them by President Obama in his December, 2009 Executive Order, and subsequently by the Attorney General of the United States. Circumstances now dictate that direct intervention is a must. Thank you in advance for your help, and your willingness to support the U.S. Constitution; it is appreciated by many, and will indeed have a significant impact on the future financial health of the world.

As of the afternoon of May 28, 2010, I am currently advised and understand the following:



· World Global Settlement funds have been collected and remain in the custody of the Bank of America in Richmond, Virginia.

· Said funds are sufficient to cover all disbursements to be made by the authority of the Paymaster who has now spent more than eight weeks over the past three months, in Richmond, for the purpose of concluding these transfers in accord with the BASEL agenda.

· My letter to President Obama was distributed to all parties dealing with the World Global Settlement funds, to both political parties in Washington, D.C., to the Democratic Caucus and its counsel, to the Black Caucus and its counsel, and to President Obama’s priest.

· The letter was also submitted to the British Royal Monarchal Power through your good offices; Mr. L.H. Bonney, Sr. has also verified that a copy of the letter was submitted to, and received by, Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II through MI-5 and MI-6.

· Counsel for the Black Caucus immediately recognized that a criminal offense had been committed; he advised that he would directly inform the President by reading the letter to him on Air Force One today, as well as advise the President of his personal responsibility, over the four day weekend, for costs in the “Billions of USD.” Said counsel also stated that “if release [of the funds] was not taken care of today – they [the Black Caucus] would wash their hands of him [President Obama].”

· Vice President Biden was also informed of the May 27, 2010 letter, provided a copy, and discussed the veracity of President Obama taking direction from former President G.H.W. Bush; he indicated that President Obama’s citizenship status was being used as very effective leverage against the President.

· Vice President Biden also admitted that he was personally compromised, and therefore unqualified to succeed President Obama in the event that the President’s tenure is successfully attacked.

· It now appears that it is only a matter of time before formal process is instituted to remove President Obama from office; however the “Succession List” has now been severely compromised by the failure to complete distribution of the subject funds.

· I was advised at noon time this date that the on-site Paymaster authority, Mr. L.H. Bonney, Sr, had confirmed at Bank of America that no communication had been received from President Obama regarding authorization for release of the Settlement funds; accordingly, he was returning to Ohio.

· Prior to Mr. Bonny’s departure he further advised that all collected funds were in a “locked-down” mode, and that all else is now in written form for further use in resolving the issue of final distribution of these Settlement funds.



As I have previously indicated, I am persuaded by these facts, that only the direct intervention of the Royal Monarchal Power will be efficacious in bringing this matter to conclusion. To secure release of these Settlement funds, it is now imperative that the Royal Monarchal Power exercise that power, as a U.S. Treasury lien - holder, to effectuate timely resolution. Any further delay will not only jeopardize the severely stressed world financial condition, but will certainly serve to encourage those seeking even further delay.



This is a matter which now clearly seems can only be concluded at such time as the Royal Monarchal Power utilizes the power which has been granted, to effect closure through direct means. I apologize in advance for having to involve you further in this situation; however, circumstances dictate that direct intervention is now an imperative. Thank you very kindly in advance for your help; it is truly appreciated by many, and will indeed have a very significant impact on the future financial health of the world.

In re: World Global Settlements



Dear Mr. President:



I write to you again this afternoon in furtherance of my previous recent correspondence regarding prompt dissemination of the World Global Settlements. As I have previously stated, I represent some 50,000 shareholders who are to be paid a settlement which consists mainly of monies collected from banks, brokerages, hedge fund corps, market makers, the Depository Trust Corporation/Federal Reserve, and various billionaire “naked-shorter” individuals, as well as some monies due from the SEC for damages. I have also been involved in the representation of other payees awaiting this distribution and have, in such capacity, been in direct communication with the UK Royal Monarch.



I am currently advised and understand the following:



· A portion of the World Global Settlement funds have been collected and are presently held in the custody of the Bank of America in Richmond, VA.

· Said funds are sufficient to cover all disbursements to be made by the authority of the Paymaster who has now spent more than eight weeks over the past three months, in Richmond, for the purpose of concluding these transfers.

· The Paymaster authority has, at the direction of the Pentagon, London, et. al., been present at the Bank in Richmond every day this week to complete the transfers.

· This morning he was advised by “both sides” that each desired this matter to be concluded as soon as possible and that he should remain available to enter the Bank and consummate the transfers.

· As of 6:00 PM EDT, the Paymaster authority personally advised me that you personally, Mr. President, wanted and had directed that these funds be held throughout the coming Holiday weekend.

· I have previously been advised that you had given specific written authorization of these transfers and confirmed the same verbally just this week.



Mr. President, I sincerely hope that my information is incorrect; because, as I am certain that you are aware, your personal involvement in delaying this distribution is an ultra vires act which exposes you to personal liability for the sums involved and for accruing interest thereon. I would certainly not want to see you personally involved in the future denouement of this matter.



As I have previously advised in my communications to you, only your direct intervention will be efficacious in bringing this matter to conclusion. Mr. President, I implore you to facilitate conclusion of this matter forthwith; there is simply no legal basis for any further delay. Please act consonantly with your previous statements and promises. I would very much appreciate your written confirmation that you will do so immediately; accordingly, I will withhold public distribution of this correspondence until 8:30 PM EDT today.



Sincerely,

Re: U.S. Dollar Refunding Project



Dear Honorable Christopher Geidt:



I most recently wrote to you on May 21, 2010 to transmit copies of three letters which I had recently sent to President Obama relating to the matters referenced in papers delivered to the Palace under cover of my letter dated April 28, 2010. I write to you again in furtherance to that subject on behalf of my clients Michael C. Cottrell, B.A., M.S., of Erie, Pennsylvania, USA, and his corporations: Pennsylvania Investments, Inc., registered in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and Cottrell Securities Limited, registered in England and Wales.



As I similarly gave notice to President Barack Obama, I am currently advised and understand the following:



· A portion of the World Global Settlement funds have been collected and are presently held in the custody of the Bank of America in Richmond, VA.

· Said funds are sufficient to cover all disbursements to be made by the authority of the Paymaster who has now spent more than eight weeks over the past three months, in Richmond, for the purpose of concluding these transfers.

· The Paymaster authority has, at the direction of the Pentagon, London, et. al., recently returned to Richmond to consummate the transfers, and has been advised each day this week that the funds will be able to be transferred to the BASEL - identified trustees.

· Mr. Leon Panetta is currently present at the Bank of America, but continues to delay the ability of the Paymaster authority, and his access to effect transfer of the World Global Settlement funds.

· It clearly appears at this time that Mr. Panetta and/or others are diligently working to delay payout of these funds; it also seems self-evident that this will continue to be the case absent outside intervention.



As I have previously indicated, I am persuaded by these facts, that only the direct intervention of the Royal Monarchal Power will be efficacious in bringing this matter to conclusion. I request, kind sir, your assistance in bringing this matter to the attention of Her Majesty and others as appropriate. Any further delay will not only exacerbate the conditions under which we all must operate, but will certainly serve to encourage those seeking even further delay.



This is a matter which it seems will only be concluded at such time as the Royal Monarchal Power either demands it, or utilizes the power which has been granted to effect closure through direct means. I apologize in advance for having to involve your once more in this situation; however, circumstances dictate that direct intervention is now a necessity. Thank you very kindly in advance for your help; it is truly appreciated by many, and will indeed have a very significant impact on the future financial health of the world.

· The Paymaster authority has, at the direction of the Pentagon, London, et. al., recently returned to Richmond to consummate the transfers; he was advised yesterday morning at Bank of America that the bank could not allow the transfers to be made until one additional signature was obtained.

· Accordingly, on May 19, 2010 an agent of Interpol began a hand-carry trip through Little Rock, Arkansas, to Charleston, South Carolina, and then on to Richmond, Virginia; the hand carried item was presented to the Bank of America officer this morning.

· The Bank of America officer then advised the Paymaster authority that Mr. Leon Panetta had instructed Bank of America that no World Global Settlement funds were to be disbursed without express personal approval from the President of the United States.

· I have previously been advised that you had given specific written authorization of these transfers when you visited the Richmond Bank of America several weeks ago.



As I advised yesterday in my communication to you, I am persuaded by these facts, that only your direct intervention will be efficacious in bringing this matter to conclusion. Mr. President, please provide, once again, your specific written authority and direction to those who continue to frustrate completion of these World Global Settlements.

I am currently advised and understand the following:



· A portion of the World Global Settlement funds have been collected and are presently held in the custody of a Richmond, VA bank.

Honorable Barack Obama

President of the United States of America

Whitehouse

Washington, D.C.



Dear Mr. President:



I write to you this morning because people within your current administration continue to frustrate dissemination of the World Global Settlements; I am advised today that Mr. Leon Panetta participated in this act on May 14, 2010. I represent some 50,000 shareholders who are to be paid a settlement which consists mainly of monies collected from banks, brokerages, hedge fund corps, market makers, the Depository Trust Corporation/Federal Reserve, and various billionaire “naked-shorter” individuals, as well as some monies due from the SEC for damages. These various monies collected have been held far longer than they should have been, and were swept into the World Global Settlements, thereby delaying payment even further. Taxes were paid into the U.S. Treasury due on these “Settlements” on December 30th and 31st; distribution of these settlement funds could not legally be withheld past midnight of February 14th, 2010.



The continued holding of these settlement funds results in the violation of more laws such as “banking fraud,”“trust fund violations,” and, in times of war, “International Financial Terrorism.” These charges are not at the discretion of the government to overlook in the name of withholding monies that are not its property, nor its right to hold – especially given that now the Treasury is in “DEFAULT” and owned in large part by the Chinese government.



I am aware you have issued an “Executive Order” giving the diplomatic parties of Interpol, the Chinese, the Swiss, and the U.K. (MI6), the means to enforce, with all due power, dissemination of the “Settlements.” They clearly are relying on your power to assist this effort and to stop cabinet members of your staff and CIA factions from blocking the Global World Settlements. They are relying on you to exhibit your inherent Presidential character such as integrity and respect for the law, and to recognize the gravity of delaying such an important event intended to rescue not only the immediate US banking community, but to support a recalibration and refitting of various currencies and economies on a world scale necessary to abate the global collapse of economies everywhere.



We are all well aware of the “derivatives,” the Ponzi schemes of the Federal Reserve creating debt out of thin air, the real estate debacle of SIV’s and CDO’s, the “Naked Shorting” in the stock market, and the market’s overall vast manipulation for the profit of the few. The global economy needs these “Settlements” to initiate recovery, and to switch to the new asset-backed US Treasury dollars.



Mr. President, the people elected you for reasons of your promises, your apparent integrity, your conviction to help the American people uphold justice, and to return this Nation to its pre-eminent world status. Please use your good offices to ensure these “Settlements” are disseminated without further delay.

Re: U.S. Dollar Refunding Project



Your Majesty,



I write to you in my capacity as legal counsel for Pennsylvania Investments, Inc. and its President, Michael C. Cottrell, B.A., M.S. As you are aware Mr. Cottrell and his wife are the beneficial owners of Pennsylvania Investments, Inc. and have requested that I communicate some urgent concerns regarding the subject U.S. Dollar Refunding Project.



I am advised and understand the following:



· In 2007, funds aggregating 6.2 Trillion dollars were made available pro bono publico by and on Your Majesty’s behalf for the purpose of this Project.

· The International Group of Seven (G-7) agreed to this refunding program at their meeting in Northern Germany in June, 2007 and reaffirmed their support in 2008.

· These funds, to date, have not been deployed for the purpose for which they were intended.

· Through the good offices of Christopher Edward Harle Story, FRSA, from the period September, 2008 through December 29, 2008, previous arrangements for conducting this program were revised and reorganized such that Mr. Michael C. Cottrell would be wholly in charge of the project.

· Based upon advice received in 2009 Mr. Michael C. Cottrell is to be in charge of the refunding project pursuant to the information and proposal set forth in two notarized affidavits dated December 29, 2008 and March 3, 2009.

· I am advised that Your Majesty has previously received and approved these terms and conditions.

· Premised on this history, Mr. Cottrell, again through the good offices of Mr. Story, has established a firm in London to conduct the refunding operations denominated “Cottrell Securities, Ltd.”



This correspondence and request is premised upon the above facts.



Certain matters have come to the attention of Mr. Cottrell and myself which have caused considerable consternation as finalization of the refunding project has neared closure. I write to you on Mr. Cottrell’s behalf out of concern that certain of these activities may be taking place without your knowledge and in contravention of your desires, and in violation of agreements made on your behalf at the G-7 meetings in 2007 and 2008.



Mr. Cottrell has prepared an affidavit, which was duly notarized on March 31, 2010, which sets forth the initial events surrounding the ongoing attempts to bring this matter to conclusion; I will not repeat them here as a copy of such affidavit is included as an attachment. Since March 31, 2010 various actions which have been ongoing each and every day have suggested, at least initially, that successful conclusion was imminent. However, as of the date of dictating this correspondence (April 23, 2010) neither I nor Mr. Cottrell are confident that this matter will conclude as originally designed, promised and intended without intervention from your authority.



Let me hasten to apologize for the presumptive, perhaps arrogant, tone of this correspondence and submission to you. However, this is a matter of such enormous public import, I thought it my duty as a citizen of the world community to bring this issue to your attention. In the event additional information is necessary and/or desired, please feel free to contact me or Mr. Cottrell directly. Thank you for your kind consideration.



Sincerely,

---------------------------------------------------------------------Litigation Update
Post by alch11 on Today at 4:54pm

Litigation Update - December 7, 2010

I understand that many are anxious to receive an update directly from the horse’s mouth regarding the litigation and the Federal Court hearing of December 6; this is it. Let me begin by quoting a post of Mona’s from Tramp’s board which I found to be cogent and to the point [the bracketed portions are mine]:

The following is a MOST EXCELLENT post and the last sentence SAYS IT ALL as we move forward!
Protocol:
To the best of my recollection, Al mentioned to those of us standing outside the courtroom:
1. 300 people had been served [and/or being prosecuted] for financial fraud and there are more to follow with arrests.
2. Everyone wants to see proof however.
The reason for the hearing was not about presenting proof but about whether the complaint that was framed and filed has legal standing in this court.
a. One of the points here is that the judge and the other side have to assume that every point in the filing submitted is true.
b. The test this court was constrained to rule on [consider] was that if the plaintiff (Al Hodges) goes to trial and proves everything stated in his complaint, is he entitled to a judgment/verdict?
c. This court says, NO
d. No, because we don't qualify for the takings clause. [Essentially because no prior Ninth Circuit or USSC case has so held.]
e. No, because we don't have property interest in the shares we hold. [Essentially because no prior Ninth Circuit or USSC case has so held.]
That's the current state of the law in the 9th circuit court.
Al argued yesterday that it was in fact a taking and the shareholders did hold shares considered to be property that had value.
The company (CMKM) was structured and had business rulings that rendered the shares of CMKM real and valid.
The shareholders had no other recourse or means of redress against the government and this appeal was the only means of acquiring justice and restitution. [Therefore, making this a perfect Bivens situation.]
As far as the US attorney that was there representing the defendants:
Al said this guy is the head [actually one of the Senior] US attorney in the LA office and he is very competent.
He doesn't know much of anything because his clients are not communicating with him and do not need to at this point.
So, when he stands up there to argue, he is doing so with minimal understanding of his client’s true role and culpability. They are not giving him direction or facts.
If we go along with the idea this was scripted and yielded plausible deniability for the government then it makes sense when AL says this is [should be] over by Christmas...
Yesterday’s hearing lent to logical reasoning that this has reached a conclusion.
Al can of course take this further with an appeal in 30 days which he says he will do if we are not paid.
We will see where it goes by the end of the year.
God willing, all the work behind the scenes is done and payments begin shortly!
Proto

Let me add a few other comments:
• I did have a colloquy with Mr. Staub prior to the hearing in which I confirmed that he had essentially little or no input from his individual clients and/or the SEC; he as well confirmed that he had absolutely no knowledge of any “behind-the-scenes” discussions or other activities.
• When the hearing began, I reviewed briefly for the Court the insistence of many of the original 13 states that the Bill of Rights be included in the Constitution as a condition of ratification, how the Fifth Amendment came about and what it means [e.g. it talks about all property – not just real property], the seminal decision of Marbury v. Madison (1803) and the more recent Bivens case; I also explained in some detail why the Broad case raised by defendants could not and was not controlling here; and, although I had to concede that no prior Bivens or ‘Takings’ case of any similarity could be found, I detailed for the Court the reasons why that should not stand in the way of this Court upholding the spirit of the Constitution and all the relevant Supreme Court cases decided there-under.
• The Court explained to all that the essence of the decision rested on the absence of any decided cases of similarity to this one; he did suggest that we might find a sympathetic ear in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
• I did take the opportunity to meet and speak with some of the 25 plus shareholders in attendance, after the hearing; most of the ‘quotes’ of my statements that you have seen posted are accurate; e.g. I did say that “.... if I were a betting man, I would bet that we will receive payment by Christmas.”
• I am of the opinion that we are at the last turn in the road. More straight forwardly I do believe, based upon information from many, many sources including my work on securing release of the World Global Settlement funds, that payment is imminent.
• Apparently, dismissal [one way or another] of this litigation was required by the Government as a condition of the release of CMKX payments; we shall soon see if that assessment is correct. Whether it is or not, be assured that an appeal to the Ninth Circuit [and the USSC if necessary] will be timely taken and aggressively pursued, until such time as the payments are made.


Let me also take this opportunity to correct some prior misunderstandings of some shareholders:
• It has been asserted that I am the trustee – I AM NOT.
• It has been asserted that I am pursuing litigation on behalf of Mr. Bonney and/or Mr. Cottrell [and that this is being done at the expense of CMKX] - I AM NOT. I hasten to add that I have written correspondence on their behalf in the belief that it would assist in speeding up the WGS payouts, and in turn the CMKX release.
• It has been suggested that my actions and/or lack of same is delaying receipt of payment by CMKX shareholders – IT IS NOT.
• It has been asserted that the WGS have nothing to do with, or affect CMKX – INCORRECT.
• Some seem to believe that I have instructed various plaintiffs [most of whom have their own sources of information] to go to the boards/pal-talk and release information [either for some specific purpose or to serve some ulterior agenda] – I HAVE NOT.
• Some seem to believe that my purpose here has been to mislead, string-along, etc., and is part of some ‘master-plan’ – NOT TRUE. This litigation was [and still is] meritorious and brought in good faith to assert the rights of shareholders who had been severely robbed and otherwise damaged as the direct result of Government actions which were outside of the bounds of permissible behavior; it was also believed that the filing would precipitate the kind of attention and focus required to bring this matter to conclusion.

Some will ask why I am so confident that we are about be finished with this unnecessarily lengthy travail. The only answer that I can give you at the moment is to ask you to consider how much of my time [most of it] and other resources [substantial sums of $$] have been devoted to the matters associated with CMKX during the past year. Although you can’t know for sure, most have an idea that it has been a very bizarre, complex, convoluted battle against some of the most powerful entities in the world; it’s been that and oh, so much more. At any rate, the reason I mention it at all, is as a basis for you to understand that I now receive almost daily information from FBI, CIA, NSA, Pentagon, and JCS sources, as well as a plethora of other people with whom I have established a rapport and respect, and who have met certain screening criteria. It is information assembled from these sources that persuade me.

Some will next ask if their information is so good and accurate, why were we not we paid months ago “as you indicated we would be.” The detailed answer to that question will of necessity have to wait for another day; however, the short answer is for you to look at our competition and the results of our efforts.

My very best regards to all,
Al Hodges
