Approximately 20% of these patents were pending or inactive, complicating potential sales of the bank's assets.

The claim posits that every citizen is valued at approximately $9.1 million at birth, and these records represent the "ownership paper" used to borrow money from foreign entities like China. This is cited as the reason the state of Hawaii allegedly resists releasing original receipts of birth.

This valuation of human capital is linked to competencies and economic labor value. A theory is discussed suggesting that birth certificates serve as numbered collateral for the United States government to borrow money from foreign nations, noting that the total value of the U.S. population at this rate roughly matches the national budget.
