Mortgage

The movement claim that Federal Reserve Notes constitute a 'mortgage on the whole property of the nation' giving citizens enforceable creditor status against the federal government is foreclosed

The 1933 Patman floor speech is real. The 'Federal Reserve Notes as mortgage on the nation' reading is not — Patman was arguing for currency expansion, not warning against the system's collateral structure. Citizens are not creditors of the federal government in any operative-law sense. The labor-to-tax-to-debt-service fund flow is real; the legal conclusion the movement draws from it is foreclosed.
