List of Crimes and Financial Penalties (Updated 10/23/24)
List of Crimes and Financial Penalties:
IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS IS FOR ADVANCED STUDENTS. IF YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND THIS THEN DON’T WORRY BECAUSE NOT MANY PEOPLE WILL. Many of these monetary costs are made-up by me in association with me looking over the sections in the USC. You are welcome to change the monetary amounts as you see fit. Not all this information will be perfect and some of it may also change depending on how laws change. I HIGHLY recommend you review each individual infraction or felony prior to placing it on an affidavit and signing it under oath.
Secondary Note: Anything marked “conspiracy” means 2 or more people working together to commit the particular felony.

Internationally protected people (nationals):
NOTE 1: 18 USC 3056(a)(5) states: “(a)Under the direction of the Secretary of Homeland Security, the United States Secret Service is authorized to protect the following persons: (5)Visiting heads of foreign states or foreign governments.” [the Secret Service is authorized to protect you as an internationally protected person]
NOTE 2: 18 USC 2331: defines “international terrorism” as anything that violates the law between nations and also defines it as: “to intimidate or coerce a civilian population.” It defines “acts of war” as: “armed conflict, whether or not war has been declared, between two or more nations.” It also defines “person” as: “means any individual or entity capable of holding a legal or beneficial interest in property” [which is quite strange… not sure what to totally think about that]
NOTE 3: 18 USC 7 defines “special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States” as: (7)Any place outside the jurisdiction of any nation with respect to an offense by or against a national of the United States;
(9)With respect to offenses committed by or against a national of the United States as that term is used in section 101 of the Immigration and Nationality Act—
(A)the premises of United States diplomatic, consular, military or other United States Government missions or entities in foreign States, including the buildings, parts of buildings, and land appurtenant or ancillary thereto or used for purposes of those missions or entities, irrespective of ownership; and
(B)residences in foreign States and the land appurtenant or ancillary thereto, irrespective of ownership, used for purposes of those missions or entities or used by United States personnel assigned to those missions or entities.
NOTE 4: The definition of “kidnapping” from Black’s Law:
Definition 1: At common law, the forcible abduction or stealing and carrying away of a person from own country to another.
Definition 2: the unlawful seizure and removal of person from own country or state against
his will.
[This is absolutely fascinating because that could mean that “kidnapping” a “US citizen” is locationally impossible because a US citizen is located in the District of Columbia so they are not being “taken away from their country to another country” - BUT AN INTERNATIONALLY PROTECTED PERSON BEING TAKEN WOULD BE KIDNAPPING!]
Note 5: 18 U.S. Code § 11 - Foreign government defined:
“The term “foreign government”, as used in this title except in sections 112, 878, 970, 1116, and 1201, includes any government, faction, or body of insurgents within a country with which the United States is at peace, irrespective of recognition by the United States.”

THIS IS THE ONE YOU USE AGAINST THE BANKS TO GRAB THEM BY THE BALLS AND FORCE THEM TO DISCHARGE ALL YOUR DEBTS, MORTGAGE, ETC WITHOUT MAKING SO MUCH AS A PEEP. - (monetary penalty would be ALL the value of all stolen instruments. So if you opened a mortgage for 2 million and also had paid another $500,000 so far back on that then they would owe you the full 2.5 million back PLUS DAMAGES) - up to 5 years in prison.
18 USC 2111 - taking or attempting to take anything via force, violence or intimidation. (see definition above of “special maritime and territorial jurisdiction” to understand this one) - $250,000 - up to 15 years in prison
18 USC 2332d - INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM (see above NOTE for definition - this can be used against threats from corporations such as the IRS or collections companies, but ONLY if you are an internationally protected person!) - $250,000 - up to 10 years in prison

Slavery, indentured servitude, forced labor (private private right of action for civil claims available via 18 USC 1595):
Note: you may be a bit confused about how these apply but I was thinking about it more and more and the credit reporting agencies are actually violating this by FORCING you into performance contracts. The basic idea of credit reporting bureaus: Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. I’ll bet if you dug really hard you would find that these 3 CORPORATIONS are in bed with the financial companies to help push their entire scam of having you create negotiable instruments then stealing them and charging you in the process.
NOTE 2: 18 USC 1589(c)(1) states:
The term “abuse or threatened abuse of law or legal process” means the use or threatened use of a law or legal process, whether administrative, civil, or criminal, in any manner or for any purpose for which the law was not designed, in order to exert pressure on another person to cause that person to take some action or refrain from taking some action.
NOTE 3: 18 U.S. Code § 1594 shows you that: ANYONE ATTEMPTING TO DO THIS, EVEN IF NOT SUCCESSFUL, WILL BE PUNISHED AS THOUGH THEY PULLED IT OFF. ALSO ANYONE WHO CONSPIRES TO DO THESE ACTIVITIES ARE JUST AS GUILTY AS THE PEOPLE GETTING FOUND GUILTY OF DOING IT.

42 USC 1994 - Peonage (debt slavery). You don’t need a “private right of action” to use this one.
