The Consumer price index was created in 1917 during a highly inflationary period during World War I and then calculated back to 1913 using available food price data. Each decade since has had its own unique characteristics and challenges. Therefore we have created a separate page highlighting the characteristics of that unique decade.
The Chart below shows the Average Inflation Rate for each decade (per year). Each bar is calculated to represents the average (i.e. geometric mean) for the decade. In other words, if one year had 1%, the next year had 2%, the 3rd year had 3% etc the average inflation for the decade would be 5.5%, the Geometric Mean would be 4.528% and the total cumulative inflation for that 10 year period would be over 55%.
There were two decades in the chart below where you might think that the numbers were large enough to be for the entire decade, rather than just being the average annual rate for a single year. During the years from 1913 -1919 inflation was rampant due to WWI and then again in the 1970’s annual inflation rates were exploding. This resulted in a cumulative total inflation for the years 1913 until the end of 1919 of 97.96% (in only 7 years) while the inflationary 1970’s saw 102.91% over the entire decade. For more information and charts for all the decades see Decade Inflation.

James Hardin says
Hello Folks,
I wanted to write you and say thank you for what your putting out regarding inflation, because we are using it to argue our Points & Case, as exampled below. Great job and here are other and further facts, along with the legal Cases which began tracking inflation, because 44 Federal Judges filed a lawsuit against the United States for the unconstitutional deprivation of guaranteed compensation which the Constitution guaranteed “Shall not be diminished while during said judges tenure in office under Art. III., with case citations. the appeals citations, et al. and argued that as a result of inflation, their guaranteed compensation, as a result of Inflation the federal reserve notes devaluated by approximately 34.%….
So, I was just pondering upon the current economic state of our Nation and of our State. While seeing and now feeling the economic squeeze… I figured I needed to try and explain our current situation in the most easily understandable way that I can! This is primarily because, If others don’t also start doing the same, then it will be game over for all of US… The most important subject that intelligent men can ponder upon is that of MONEY.
It should be further noted that if one figure the inflation level on any amount of money (credit via notes), from the creation of the Federal Reserve Banks and their (Emergency Military Transcript) in the form of Federal Reserve Notes (FRN’s), which has proven to be one of the primary reasons of all American’s hardships, struggles and the like vulnerabilities!. It has become necessary for me to show you the “WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, WHY and HOW” these FRN’s have become “WORTHLESS SECURITIES” under the IRS Code.
So, lets begin by calculating the INFLATION, causing DEFLATION/DEVALUATION of the FRN from 1913 (date of creation of the FRN’s via the FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS) to the present day. We can start this observation and research by going to the “Online Inflation Calculator”, one will find that the said FRN’s have devaluated by 2,372.1%. (See: Inflation Calculator | Find US Dollar’s Value from 1913-2021 )
The bonds, debentures, notes, certificates, securities, warrants, checks and other evidences of debt issued by or in behalf of their profligate inter-agency operations became “worthless securities” as a matter of law and by qualification by definition. (See: “26 I.R.C. 165q, Worthless securities. – (1) General rule. – If any security which is a capital asset becomes worthless during the taxable year, the loss resulting therefrom shall, for the purposes of this subtitle, be treated as a loss from the sale or exchange, on the last day of the taxable year, of a capital asset.”
(2) Security defined.
(c) A bond, debenture, note, or certificate, or other evidence of indebtedness, issued by a corporation or by a government or political subdivision thereof, with interest coupons or in registered form.”)
Now, maybe one can better understand why the standard or practice of the Internal Revenue Service, is based upon voluntary compliance and self assessments! Because the IRS wants to be able to say (upon people figuring it out)that the IRS didn’t assess or determine the figures, profits and the like, nor did the IRS assess the person, after all, it is all based upon voluntary compliance. Yet, there can be no argument, nor doubt, as to the IRS, et al., intentionally tricking filers, nor deny that the agencies successes are based upon “Deceptive Trade Practices”, falsifying their own system of records data inputs and the like, which requires override codes by Special Agents (in charge)and the like, because their own computing systems on their campuses are built so as not to tabulate, etc., when their is an error, or legal data entry, etc., The entire money scheme of the Federal Reserve Banks, along with the IRS are would cease to exist, absent their daily practices of Extortion, theft, armed robbery and the like, if not for the practices of Deception, failure to disclose all the pertinent terms, facts, duties and obligations of the parties to the contract, etc.,
Yet, as horrible as all of this is, these criminal acts are the least of the bad faith acts on the part of the IRS, expecting that Tax Payers Self Assess their own Tax Burdens? Yet the IRS never discloses the facts, regarding the Federal Reserve Note’s status as “Worthless Securities”, which one may also file for writing off or deductions pursuant to:
“26 I.R.C. 165q, Worthless securities. – (1) General rule. – If any security which is a capital asset becomes worthless during the taxable year, the loss resulting therefrom shall, for the purposes of this subtitle, be treated as a loss from the sale or exchange, on the last day of the taxable year, of a capital asset.”
“(2) Security defined.
(c) A bond, debenture, note, or certificate, or other evidence of indebtedness, issued by a corporation or by a government or political subdivision thereof, with interest coupons or in registered form.”
Furthermore, even when others lacking knowledge, and not knowing better, they unknowingly, accept the notes for their face value. They don’t understand that the paper bills of debt credit, have been fraudulently passed into the economy of their society, while those creating the notes, knew they were not; and are not worth a fraction of the fictitious amount on face value being fraudulently claimed upon the faces of the said FRN’s.
Therefore, that doesn’t mean they have that much purchasing power and when the people and the companies end up going bankrupt as a result of loss of purchasing power of the FRN’s, finding closed lending windows, then bankruptcy; and their insolvency is merely added to the insolvent nature of the Nations National Debt. It is from start-to-finish, all a 100% fraudulent Criminal Money Scheme, designed for those in the Criminal Enterprises to commit theft and extortion of peoples wealth and property, without them ever being able to see they are being robbed by their mere acceptance of the FRN WORTHLESS SECURITIES based upon what their face value states, when in reality, they are not worth a 1/4 of that , nor half of that… In Fact, the FRN’s are today worth 2,372.1% less value than the amount claimed on their faces, regardless of the notes denomination!
Everything (Tangible and Intangible) all property of everybody and of any kind has been pledged in promise to pay the said National Debt. The problem, or rub, is the parties named herein and their failure to disclose the pertinent facts and obligations of the parties to the contract, which is more than grounds for nullifying the contract and the obligations of the parties to the contract.
Now which government currently still exist. They say, still today that we are all under the 1871 new creation… but here are some legal issues here which I believe should be looked further into, to wit:
SO, LET ME GUESS… WHEN THE GOVERNMENT HAS TO MOVE THEIR CAPITAL AGAIN, I GUESS THE ORIGINAL LANDOWNER WILL BE THE PROUD BENEFACTOR OF THE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS SPENT ON BUILDING SAID CAPITAL CITY? YOU KNOW IT WOULD BE VERY INTERESTING TO KNOW WHO DID OWN THE DISTRICT LANDS WHICH THE U.S. PAYS TO “USE”.
Moreover, if we won our independence and became separate from the King of Britain, then can anybody please explain to me how Congress passed Statutes: “For the Use of Washington D.C.”, to wit:
(“A Loan for the Use of the City of Washington. An act authorizing a loan for the use of the city of Washington, in the District of Columbia, and for other purposes therein mentioned. May 6, 1796. …………………………………………….461);
And…
(“Supplement to the Act authorizing the Loan for the Use of the City of Washington. An act supplementary to an act entitled ” An act authorizing a loan for the use of the city of Washington in the District of Columbia, and for other purposes therein mentioned.” April 18, 1798 ………………………………………… 551);
OK, so let me make certain that I have this straight! Because, as stated in the front of this work…. I AM looking for the Confirmed “Occupying Belligerent” over the “De Facto” foreign “Occupying Forces” in my Country today!
Furthermore, if this Nation was still under the Constitution of 1789 and as Ratified 1791, then please explain who the people were paying to “USE OUR OWN CAPITALS LANDS” and moreover, whose government was created in 1871, almost 100 years later: “FOR THE GOVERNMENT OF THE DISTRICT”? You see, if that is our Capital, we supposedly already had a government, so it would have merely created another department, agency, etc., to control the “Government running their District”, which such said definition is as follows:
“(15) “United States” means – (A) a Federal corporation; (B) an agency, department, commission, board, or other entity of the United States; (C) an instrumentality of the United States)”
and…
“By Act of Congress of February 1871, a territorial government was created for the District; (16 Stat. L. 419); which was not a mere municipality in its restricted sense, but was held to be placed upon the same footing as that of the States or Territories within the limits of the Act: (Grant v. Cooke, 7 D. C. 16). (Also See: “Act of 1871” & U.S. Code, Title 28 – JUDICIARY AND JUDICIAL PROCEDURE, (Chapter 176) Section 3002 (15) (A, B, & C) 😉
and…
“This government was, however, abolished by the “Act of June 20, 1874,” and a temporary government by commissioners, was thereby created, which existed until abolished by “Act of June 11, 1878,” (20 Stat.at. L. 102. Chap. 180) provision was made for the continuance of the District, as a “Municipal Corporation”. Its controlled by the Federal Government, through these commissioners was thereby created, two of whom are appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate, and the other is an engineer Officer of the Army to be detailed for that service by the President. Also see: District of Columbia v. Camden Iron Works 181 U.S. 453 (1901); and Metropolitan R CO. v. District of Columbia 132 U.S. 231 (1889)
It is a Municipal Corporation having a right to sue and be sued; and is subject to the ordinary rules that govern the law of procedure between private persons.
What are Commissioners? Let us define that also, to wit:
”
Commissioner of Bankruptcy (England and Wales)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Commissioner of Bankruptcy (England and Wales) was, from 1571 to 1883, an official appointed (initially by commission of the Lord Chancellor) to administer the estate of a bankrupt with full power to dispose of all his lands and tenements.[1][2]

In practice, the title of commissioner has evolved to include a variety of senior officials, often sitting on a …
Bankrupts were defined as insolvent persons engaged in trade or business and kept distinct from other insolvents until 1861. The proceedings of that administration were the distribution of the property of an insolvent person to that person’s creditors in proportion to the debts.

and at the END OF THE DAY, IT IS TOTAL WAR, to wit:
What is the best definition of total war?
Total war is warfare that includes any and all civilian-associated resources and infrastructure as legitimate military targets, mobilizes all of the resources of society to fight the war, and gives priority to warfare over non-combatant needs.
Total war

Total warfare a war that is unrestricted in terms of the weapons used, the territory or combatants involved, or the objectives pursued, especially one in which the laws of war are disregarded.
and…
Definition of Total War
Total war is mainly characterized by the lack of distinction between fighting lawful combatants and civilians. The purpose is to destroy the other contender’s resources so that they are unable to continue to wage war. This might include targeting major infrastructure and blocking access to water, internet, or imports (often through blockades). Additionally, in total war, there is no limit on the type of weapons used and biological, chemical, nuclear, and other weapons of mass destruction may be unleashed.

The problem with TOTAL WAR, is the prosecutions of War Crimes, which is what the NAZIS appeared to be facing at the end of WWII, but what turned out to be mere a mere illusion (a magic trick) whereby the illusion right before the worlds eyes, created a world wide delusion that Just a “Show trial.” and…
So, as you can see, TOTAL WAR means violations of the laws of war, treaties of peace, etc. prohibited use of Biological, Nuclear, Chemical, Radioactive weapons, etc.

and APPARENTLY, NOBODY IS GOING TO PROTECT US, SO WE MUST EDUCATE OURSELVES AND LEARN HOW PROTECT OURSELVES!
and now the only thing to show it who all are behind all this! That is to say, to identify exactly Who all are benefactors of this fraudulent money scheme. You will be surprised to see that under the law, they are almost ALL, “FOREIGN AGENTS OF FOREIGN POWERS and EXPATRIATES!
They have no authority here, primarily for lack of authority to act, such as a Foreign Agents Registration Statement, 22 U.S.C.A. 611& 612 and 18 U.S.C.A. 219 & 951, military authority cannot be imposed into civil affairs. (See: Exhibit D-3, Department Of The Army Pamphlet 27100-70, Military Law Review, Vol. 70 & Article II, Section 22 of the Constitution for the State of Colorado. The United Nations Charter, Article 2, Section 7, further prohibits the U.N. Organizations from “intervening in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state…”

In 8 U.S.C. §1481 it states that once an oath of office is taken, citizenship is relinquished, thus any state employee becomes a foreign entity, agency, state, or conquered territory. That means every public office is a foreign state, including all political subdivisions. (i.e., every single court is considered a separate foreign entity, under a separate foreign jurisdiction.) Under, 22 U.S.C. (Foreign Relations and Intercourse) Chapter 11 it identifies all public officials as foreign agents. Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (F.R.C.P.) 4j states that the Court jurisdiction and immunity fall under a foreign State.
Prove this to yourself by doing a simple google search and you will find as follows:
“How you can lose your citizenship?
You will no longer be an American citizen if you voluntarily give up (renounce) your U.S. citizenship. You might lose your U.S. citizenship in specific cases, including if you: Run for public office in a foreign country (under certain conditions) Enter military service in a foreign country (under certain conditions) Feb 19, 2020

Any state agency that operates “For Profit” are not de jure, but rather, are de facto and void of immunity thus operating like any other publicly held trading corporation as declared by the U.S. Supreme Court – Clearfield Trust v. U.S., 318 US 363 – 1943.
I could go on and on for days on these matters. But suffice it to say, that I am working for the freedoms of our people and so I could not be a terrorist… so all those traitors claiming I AM, are actually those whom are the State Sponsored Terrorist.
Those telling you that non-combatant civilians are a threat and are Terrorist, are those whom the people are unknowingly defending their lives against daily! We the people are under attack by those treasonous, seditious, traitors, expatriates, foreign agents, and other foreign alien enemies of we the people and the best way we can protect our fellow brothers and Sister countrymen, is to refuse these enemies any and all aid, information, or consideration when it is pertaining to one of US, We The People of this State, legally identified as Colorado!
When nobody pays these foreign agents and expatriates any Creedence, then they will no longer have all they need to constantly bombard us by way of our weakest vulnerabilities and/or weaknesses!
We must stand together, or we will most certainly be dying together!
