That part of the story started with another man who worked and dreamed. This man dreamed of a world where knowledge was available cheaply and to everyone; where wealth was secure and people dealt with each other with compassion. In 2000 Clive Boustred knew nothing about the Constitution and he had never heard of Ron Paul. But he would learn.


Clive Boustred did not intend to study the Constitution. A wealthy and successful entrepreneur in Silicon Valley, he intended to give people everywhere a banking system that eliminated the use of interest and fees. He did not know that the FED was a private corporation. What you don't know, he found out, could kill you.


Moving to the United States after college in London, he had became the guru of corporate strategy for such corporations as Sun Microsystems, Intuit, and others. He designed the most advanced banking systems in the world today before deciding to launch his own banking system in early 2001.


The announcement in early 2001 that Russia's Duma had given Boustred's company the Mir Satellite, to be used as a peace station circling the Earth, along with the revelation on the new banking system, electrified the world and the Federal Reserve Bank. Clive Boustred has survived three separate assassination attempts in the last seven years. He was in jail when he first conceived the idea of CopperCards.


Desperately studying the law while incarcerated for the unproven charge he had driven 40mph down his private street, Boustred realized that if he had understood the Constitution he could have defended himself better than the high-priced attorneys who cost him tens of thousands of dollars. The first CopperCard was designed while he was still in jail; it worked. He was released. That is the CopperCards Arraignment Card. If people could understand the Constitution as small tools encapsulating the law, they could defend themselves, Boustred realized. Through that insight CopperCards, Ecclesiastical Association, came into existence. A persuaded Christian, Boustred saw freedom as an aspect of the spiritual nature of humankind.


That first card was followed by more CopperCards to arm people for their encounters with corrupt government, returning Americans to an understanding of the Constitution. These soon included a card to ward off Child Protective Services, notice authorities that they are acting unconstitutionally, among others. Now, new cards are being written by the CopperCards Team.


Coming from a world of privilege in South Africa Boustred had wakened to the nature of government there as he lived through Apartheid; leaving behind a family who had owned Cullinun Diamonds he turned his back on the hate he had witnessed and came to America. He thought he was leaving hate and oppression behind. Now he understands how wrong he was.


With his release from jail Boustred began to study the forces that had first tried to kill him and then incarcerated him. He is a fast study.
