I feel that Jim and I have ended war, just as Jim declared in late 2014 from the base of the Castle. After 153 years (April 15, 1861) the Trading with the Enemy Act is “Omitted” from the Bankers’ Code – Title 12 USC 95a-95b.
When heritage and destiny are coherent there is peace. Who we are is much more than what we have become since birth, or even conception for that matter. 
We are composed of a lineage or genome, the memory of where we come from – starting with our parents at the moment of conception then their parents, our grandparents and then so on… Our ancestors describe to us our heritage in the world. Destiny is something we can determine by the choices we make. We describe the current moment by choices we have made or avoided during our lifetimes. If we listen carefully and study vigilantly then we equip ourselves to make the decisions that identify what kind of men and women we have become and even what will become of us in the future. With wisdom we describe what we are meant to be by design of our heritage. That is what I mean by peace.

Because it’s omitted does that make it no longer enforceable?Wouldn’t it have to be repealed to cease being be enforced?

Thank you.
That kind of question tells me that I am making myself clear, at least. In other words that is a very good question.
When TRUMP became President I issued a Directive that there be no more Executive Orders, and through this process I opened myself up to discover the obvious; that “enforceable law” is published and indexed through the Federal Register. Over the five weeks following by tracking the EO Index daily it was obvious to me that my Directive was causing a serious legal squabble in the Oval Office. There was even a moment where the Index was hacked and distributing malware.
Think about that for a moment. Rumors of Russians hacking TRUMP’s accounts abounded but the Federal Register Index being hacked gets no play time at all?
The Statute at 95a can be found intact in the Federal Register. But it is Omitted in the Index. The Index, in my opinion is where the rubber meets the road for “enforceable”. But like “First”, “Middle” and “Last Name” there is no real legal definition for a statute being “Omitted”.
Which is why I am pleased you spotted the “Good Question” inhabiting my post. Was the statute ever enforceable?
My thinking is that the Extraordinary Occasion ended at the end of the War of Rebellion, as the Civil War was known then. – In 1865. Abraham LINCOLN was going to do right and end the Extraordinary Occasion but central banking interests perpetuated the Emergency by having him shot. The significant event as I see it was FDR picking up the Trading With the Enemy Act in 1933 to welcome Joe PUBLIC into central banking by endorsement, as “member banks”. The TWEA was formed in 1917 so not to have to intern German nationals domestically for war against Germany. STOEHR v WALLACE in 1921 spells it out that the TWEA cannot apply outside the scope of a war measure. FDR declared an emergency “war” upon the Great Depression in his inaugural speech. – All upon LINCOLN’s assassination, failing to end the Emergency extraordinary occasion.
The 153-year lifespan of the Emergency is a metaphysical touch according to the Five Cube Sum Number Locks. I should stick to the Directive and the Federal Register as finding of fact. But that would take an hour or two in itself and I really should get that into the forums here. The metaphysics is quite fascinating though, and really quite convincing even without much scientific process.
