Misconception About C.M. Bey's AA222141

In 1912, Sultan Abd al-Hafid signed the Treaty of Fez, formally ceding Moroccan sovereignty to France, transforming Morocco into a protectorate of France. This is the same as Puerto Rico being a territory of the UNITED STATES. When Morocco lost its sovereignty, the star was removed. Later, Spain took Morocco from France.

Morocco regained its independence on March 2, 1956. At the same time, the UNITED STATES abolished its consular courts in Morocco and other countries. The abolition is codified in Title 22 U.S.C. Sec. 141-143. That is the origin of C.M. Bey's Classified-Truth A-1 Freehold by Inheritance Registration No. AA222141.

Analysis of Title 22 U.S.C. ยงยง 141 to 143

Repealed August 1, 1956, ch. 807, 70 Stat. 774

  • Jurisdiction: Act Aug. 1, 1956, repealed sections 141 to 143 upon the relinquishment of jurisdiction of the United States in Morocco. All pending cases were disposed of by 1960. (See State Department Bulletin Vol. 35:909).
  • Section 141: Related to the judicial authority of ministers and consuls in China, Siam, Turkey, Morocco, and others.
  • Section 142 & 143: Related to general criminal and civil jurisdiction of U.S. ministers and venue in civil cases.

A common misconception among Moors is that this number represents a trust or suggests that North America is Morocco. The repeal of section 141 merely means that the United States relinquished civil and criminal jurisdiction in Morocco and other listed countries.

The statute also mentions the "United States in China". This does not mean North America is China. It refers to the consulates within those specific countries. Scenario-building to fit a specific narrative does not change the statutory reality.
