The Saga of TreasuryGate

This summary is intended to supplement information appearing in the Spotlight newspaper in 1993. I first heard the term TreasuryGate on a radio broadcast by Tom Valentine on Radio Free America in 1992. TreasuryGate is a term coined by Tommy L. Buckley after coming into possession of sixteen "certificates of obligation" issued jointly (and unconstitutionally) by the US Treasury and the private Federal Reserve Corporation. These certificates were issued during the 50's and 60's mostly to foreign heads of state and other people of foreign countries, most of latter becoming heads of state. Most countries were third world nations, and one was a self proclaimed enemy state, Cuba. A certificate went to Heng Samrin, a future leader of another country that would fall to Communism, Cambodia. Another went to brutal tyrant Idi Amien of Uganda. Although conjectural, one might expect that the US government expected some form of cooperation from these individuals and their countries. It appears that the US supported them as long as they played ball, and pulled out the rug when they quit cooperating. Only one of these countries under the name on the certificate still has the support of the USA: Hosni Mubarak's Egypt. One may wonder about Cuba. Fidel Castro, the recipient of two certificates, and though never cooperative, is still in power.

These certificates were made out for billions of $, the smallest being made out to Sadam Hussein for $33B.

Though not payable in cash, the certificates could be used for credit or hypothecation. Tommy Buckley and two others presented the Sadam Hussein certificate at a Federal Reserve Bank for authentication. Later that day all 16 certificates were confiscated at gunpoint by Secret Service agents. Tommy Buckley believes that if an unexpected party were not present in their hotel room when they were raided, they would have been shot and killed on the spot. If the certificates were bogus as claimed by the Treasury Dept. they would never taken this drastic action. Photocopies of all 16 certificates have been circulated. David Guyatt from the UK has a wealth of material on these certificates as well as certificates from other banks on his website, www.deepblacklies.co.uk. The website also has several e-books including Project Hammer and The Secret Gold Treaty which can be downloaded for free.

After their use by the original owners, the US/FRB certificates as well as a hundred or so other certificates from various national and private banks came into the possession of Indonesian businessman and civil servant Dr. Edison Damanik. This transfer was supposedly facilitated by the CIA. These other certificates, some of which were of pre-WWII vintage, were made out to various people and heads of states in different countries. Although many recipients had not yet attained any degree of prominence, they nonetheless became heads of state. An example of one such person was physician Patrick J. Hillery who became president of Ireland. He had received certificates from several different banks while working as a physician. Many of these other bank certificates as well as one US/FRB certificate can be viewed on David Guyatt's website.

It appears that most of these certificates can still be hypothecated many years after their initial use by the original assignees. Their current value which may have increased by accrued interest is demonstrated by the extraordinary efforts by various interests in attempting to gain control over them. A certificate belonging to Mr. Buckley was actually stolen from a bank safety deposit box. It appears that issuers of certificates have attempted to provide themselves deniability by making them appear phony with incorrect spellings of names of, or incorrect titles of recipients. For instance Sadam Hussein's name was spelled with two d's, and the Emperor of Japan was addressed as Mr. Hirohito.

Unable to negotiate any of these certificates in his own country, Dr. Damanik approached several American businessmen for help. Finally, Tommy L. Buckley, an oil man from Texas agreed to try. After many attempts to negotiate them, Dr. Damanik assigned the certificates to Mr. Buckley. After returning to Indonesia, Dr. Damanik died. Mr. Buckley attempted an unsuccessful lawsuit against the Treasury and the FRB.

To help Dr. Damanik's widow and to fund a number of humanitarian projects, Tommy Buckley has attempted many legal and other actions to hypothecate or otherwise utilize the many bank certificates he still holds. So far (as of December 2006) he has been unsuccessful. Apparently this is a nearly impossible task for anyone outside the "syndicate". He has been threatened, intimidated and poisoned, but he is still trying!

A study of the certificates shows that many other nations besides the USA, and/or banking and other interests therein, are engaged in trying to further their agendas. Among these nations are Canada, France, the UK, Japan, Hong Kong and Switzerland. Most of the certificates that I am aware of were issued by Japanese banks. Among the many countries receiving certificates not all turned out badly for their people. Emperor Hirohito, Hosni Mubarak and Mahatmas Ghandi provided positive influences in their respective countries. Others such as Ferdnand Marcos led their countries in a positive direction for awhile, and then turned negative. To sum it up, one observer of the situation wrote: From my perspective, the sheer amount of "players" in this certificate business is beyond overwhelming.

New Aragon

In his quest to resolve and redeem the certificates of obligation, Tommy Buckley came into contact with many bankers, both famous and infamous. Although he never met him, he had dealings with colleagues of a recently deceased banker, Lucius Knight (White Knight) McFarlane. Perhaps better known was his son Bob McFarlane, of the "Iran-Contra" scandal during the Reagan Administration.

During the 80's the elder McFarlane was one of the ram-rods behind the push to establish a new country or principality to serve as a tax haven for the rich as well as a banking center. It was to be established on three widely separated islands, one in the West Indies on the Island of Barbuda (negotiations were under way to purchase half the island) one on a barrier island off the coast of North Carolina (arrangements with the state were progressing) and the a yet to be determined island in the south Pacific, perhaps one of the many Indonesan islands.

The actual name of the country was to be The Sovereign Order of New Aragon. They had lined several Europeans with titles of nobility to be the titular heads of the government, a flag, a national anthem, and even designs for the plates and napkins. Applications for citizenship were on file.

Before the principality could be established, Mr. McFarlane died suddenly under unusual circumstances. It is my theory that another banking enclave in competition to the City of London could not be tolerated. The City of London, roughly the area of the old Roman city, is surrounded by Greater London, and appears to be an integral part of it. Many British do not realize that "The City" is not a part of the UK. When the Queen visits, she bows to the Lord Mayor of London.

Today it is still considered a "humiliating mess" in Barbuda that the deal fell through. Having had high hopes of Barbuda becoming the tax haven of tax havens, they now believe its promoters included gangsters. Attempts to form the Principalities of Hutt River Province and Camside in Australia have fared no better.
