I ask the following questions as an interested observer and a journalist of many years.  During my 25 years as a banker, my writing career continued with reputable publications like The American Banker, Bank Marketing Magazine, Trust Marketing Magazine, the American Bankers Association, Private Banker International.  As an aside, the term “private bank” is not synonymous with “central bank” -- except to journalists who want them to sound the same – but that’s a different issue for a different day. 

Here is a statement (to which Christopher Story, International Currency Review, refers in his 15 March 2010 article) of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond regarding the Writ of Mandamus filed by Ambassador Wanta against Henry M. Paulson, Jr., Secretary of the Treasury and his Deputy Secretary Robert M. Kimmitt, James R. Wilkinson, Chief of Staff at Treasury, Michael Chertoff, Secretary, Department of Homeland Security, Alberto R. Gonzales, Attorney General of the United States, and the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond:

"FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF RICHMOND

"Pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6), Fed.R.Civ.P., Respondent Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond (“FRB Richmond”) moves to dismiss the Petition for Writ of Mandamus and Other Extraordinary Relief (the “Petition”). The grounds of this Motion, as amplified in the attached Brief, are as follow.

"For the purposes of this Motion only, all well pleaded facts will be taken as true."

(END OF QUOTE)

If the Federal Reserve accepts the statements made by "Ambassador Leo E. Wanta" in the Writ of Mandamus "as true," on what grounds does Christopher Story suggest the Richmond Fed is lying?

To know what the Fed means when it says “all well pleaded facts will be taken as true” can be found by reading the Writ of Mandamus.  You will find a copy of the Writ below my observations and questions.  If you want to read the former but not the latter, there is a scroll bar on the right side of your screen.

The Federal Reserve said it takes the facts as stated in the Writ “as true.”  Read the Writ.  Look at the facts the Fed is willing to accept "as true.”

Who is lying?  A private corporation called the “Federal Reserve” which signs a document under penalty of perjury?  Or an editor or publisher of a report trying to make a buck via histrionics?

From International Currency Review (ICR), World Reports, 15 March 2010

"• THE CROOKS AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL HAD BEEN CAUGHT RED-HANDED TRYING, ONCE AGAIN, TO DIVERT/STEAL THE SOVEREIGN LOAN FUNDS INTENDED FOR DOLLAR REFUNDING."

(Just another aside, but in the last issue of ICR, didn't the Editor decide the "Sovereign Loan Funds" were lost by the Queen to Wall Street derivatives?  Wasn't the Governor of the Bank of England in jail because the "Sovereign Loan Funds" were used to purchase worthless derivatives?  Or, is "the Queen's Gold" that which was reported by the Editor to have been lost in bad derivative investments by the Bank of England's Governor who was, according to the Editor, imprisoned?  Do the "Sovereign Loan Funds" involve the $6.2 trillion Her Majesty was supposed to have loaned President G. W. Bush?  Or is the $6.2 trillion the "Sovereign Loan Funds" lost to derivatives? Are they the same funds?  Or, are they different?  The terms seem to be used interchangeably and it's difficult to discern what's being said.  One thing is certain.  For a nation with so many trillions of dollars available -- Sovereign Loan Funds" and "Queen's Gold" (and who knows what other funds exist that Mr. Story has not yet divulged?) the UK sure has a lot of unemployment and British Pound Sterling is taking a bath vs. other world currencies.  You'd think with all this money, the Queen would be able to help Her people.

(Back to International Currency Review, 15 March 2010.)

"THE IMMEDIATE PREDECESSOR DECEPTION THAT WE ALSO ABORTED

“As you will recall, an earlier, more feeble operation had erupted, centred on a crude attempt to rewrite Mr Wanta’s legend, inter alia to purport to represent that he ‘worked for’ the Federal Reserve – which would have had tangible consequences facilitating’ diversion of the funds – contrary to the language of the Writ for a Petition of Mandamus and the Motion to Dismiss filed by the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, both of which were the subject of a hearing at the United States Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Alexandria, attended by Michael C. Cottrell, Dana V. Wilcox, the Editor of this service, and Mr Wanta.

"Any variation of Wanta’s legend would have undermined the language of the Petition, leaving him vulnerable to a charge of perjury: hence, when we republished the text of the Petition which it had been anticipated that everyone would have forgotten all about, that operation had to be aborted. Moreover parties involved in promulgating the lies in question had to cease and desist, as well."

Who, other than Christopher Story, purported Ambassador Wanta “worked for" the Federal Reserve?  I’ve never seen a document from or about the Federal Reserve and/or an “employee” named “Leo Wanta” or “Leo Emil Wanta” or “Lee Wanta” – or “Junkyard Dog,” for that matter.  Had he done so, the Federal Reserve of Richmond would have certainly had grounds to Dismiss the Writ of Mandamus based on conflict of interest.  Instead, they accepted the Writ, as submitted by Ambassador Wanta, “as true.”  Did the Fed lie?  If so, since it would hurt Ambassador Wanta’s case, why?

As a journalist, this fascinates me.  A person who earns his income from writing a newsletter makes an unverified statement about a “feeble operation” in an article, then much later refers to it as if, because he is quoting himself,  it is a verified statement.  It appears what can be a rumor one day becomes a fact when later quoted.  What a way to run a railroad – I mean, newsletter.

1)     Christopher Story publishes an article that declares Ambassador Wanta had some kind of nebulous and never described working relationship with the Federal Reserve.  No evidence is published that verifies this statement.

In a very early edition of the same publication (I have no date, but the pages are marked at the bottom #30, 2 & 3).  This article says:  "Much of the totals accumulated in Title 18 Section 6 USG corporations are or were tied up in the kind of instrument that the Bank of England and the Federal Reserve state for public consumption, does not exist, namely 'Prime Bank Guarantees,' a type of Certified Deposit Mr. Wanta would buy from lending banks and trade at a profit, on behalf of the US Treasury, working under cover of Title 18 corporations such as Aneko Credit Pte based in Singapore."

Story states Ambassador Wanta would buy "Prime Bank Guarantees" but the Fed doesn't admit they exist.  Other sources say "Prime Bank Guarantees" were, at the time Ambassador Wanta was investing in them, legal in Europe but not in the U.S.  Christopher Story doesn't even allow that other opinions outside of his own exist.

Story went to the Writ of Mandamus hearing in Virginia.  He says the Motion to Dismiss filed by the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond was discussed at the same hearing he, Christopher Story, attended.  If that's true, then Mr. Story is aware that the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond's statement included the following statement (Mr. Story is aware because he published it; here it is, again): 

"FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF RICHMOND

"Pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6), Fed.R.Civ.P., Respondent Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond (“FRB Richmond”) moves to dismiss the Petition for Writ of Mandamus and Other Extraordinary Relief (the “Petition”). The grounds of this Motion, as amplified in the attached Brief, are as follow.

"For the purposes of this Motion only, all well pleaded facts will be taken as true."

In other words, the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond accepted as truth the statements made by Ambassador Wanta in his Writ of Mandamus.  I repeat:  For those who have not read the total Writ of Mandamus, it is provided at the end of my comments.

2)     In March 2010, Christopher Story writes about an earlier, more feeble operation he says erupted -- again, no evidence to support his written words -- and that it is a "crude attempt to rewrite Mr Wanta's legend..."  Unless I'm mistaken, Mr. Story just admitted that his own published words were a "crude attempt" to rewrite another person's legend -- a legend that belongs to one man but one he, credits himself with creating.   And he has dramatically changed the tale as he wrote about it.  What a great way to make a living!  Create it, get monetary credit for it, back away, attack it, make a "crude attempt" to destroy it, but keep it alive as long as it's making money.

3)     Christopher Story tells us that if Ambassador Wanta was working for the Fed it would 'have had tangible consequences facilitating' diversion of the funds -- contrary to the language of the Writ for a Petition of Mandamus and the “as true” statement about the Writ in the Motion to Dismiss filed by the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond.  That Hearing in the United States Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, was, according to Christopher Story, attended by Michael C. Cottrell, Col. Dana V. Wilcox, "the Editor of this service," and Mr. Wanta.  He offers no proof that makes a reasonable person doubt the documents as presented to the Court that day, but expects his readers to accept what he says as fact -- though the "facts" often change from paragraph to paragraph -- as do the terms used to describe things like "Sovereign Fund" and "Queen's Gold."

Everyone needs to remember that Christopher Story also said in a recent edition of International Currency Review:  "But although I invented the phrase Wantagate and then plugged the matter very intensively, I did this as a marketing matter and publicity device because the Wanta cause served several purposes."

In other words, facts don't matter.  Serving Story's purpose and marketing it "intensively" matter.

C. VENUE:

2. Venue is proper in this Court pursuant to Title 28 United States Code, Chapter 87, Section 1391, and Title 28 United States Code Chapter 87, Section 1396.

D. STATEMENT OF CL..

3. Mandamus is regarded as an extraordinary writ reserved for special situations. Among its ordinary preconditions are that the agency or official have acted (or failed to act) in disregard of a clear legal duty and that there be no adequate conventional means for review. In re Bluewater Network & Ocean Advocates, 234 F.3d 1305, 1315 (D.C. Cir. 2000); Telecomm. Research & Action Ctr. v. FCC, 750 F.2d 70, 78 (D.C. Cir. 1984).

Mandamus will be granted if the Petitioner shows “(1) the presence of novel and significant questions of law; (2) the inadequacy of other available remedies; and (3) the presence of a legal issue whose resolution will aid in the administration of justice”, see In re United States, 10 F.3d 229 at 931, 933 (2d Cir. 1993).

4. Petitioner has attempted to access monies that were transferred through international bank monetary clearing systems to financial institutions located in the United States of America. The remitting party was the People’s Republic of China, People’s Bank. The remitting party designated that the transferred funds were for the sole and exclusive use and benefit of Petitioner. The foreign entity that originated the inward remittance designated Petitioner as sole and exclusive recipient for the transferred money/financial instruments.

Irrespective of efforts proffered by Petitioner and/or agents and representatives of Petitioner, private and public individuals and entities, prevent Petitioner from exercising Petitioner’s legal right to the use, transfer and unrestricted ability to freely disburse said financial assets. The acts and/or omissions to act by named and unnamed Respondents prevent Petitioner (and others who are ancillary to this cause of action) from paying their respective tax liabilities to both State and Federal taxing authorities.

5. Upon best information and belief the organizations, entities, departments and individuals that prevent and/or restrict Petitioner’s lawful access to said money and securities include but are not necessarily limited to the following:

• Secretary of the Treasury;
• Attorney General of the United States of America;
• Bank of America;
• J.P. Morgan Chase;
• CITIBANK/CITIGROUP/NYC including but not limited to Mr Charles O. Prince, CITIGROUP Chief Executive Officer;
• Goldman Sachs et al including but not limited to past and present management and executive officers and members of the Board of Directors;
• United States Department of the Treasury including but not limited to Secretary
Paulson, Deputy Secretary Kimmitt and other known and/or unknown parties working directly or under contract with the United States Department of the Treasury;
• Secretary Chertoff, Department of Homeland Security and other known and/or unknown parties working directly or under contract with the United States Department of Homeland Security;
• One or more known and/or unknown “compliance officers” that act directly and/or under contract with private bank and/or security brokerage firms to observe rules and regulations of the United States Department of the Treasury and/or other USG investigative and reporting entities;
• Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, Virginia.
