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 (French Morocco) or a territory of France. This is the same as Puerto Rico being a territory of UNITED STATES. When Morocco lost its sovereignty, the star was removed. At that point, the Moroccan Empire existed no more. Later, Spain took Morocco from France.
Morocco regained its independence on March 2, 1956, after expelling the French and Spanish occupation. At the same time, UNITED STATES abolished its consular courts in Morocco and other countries. The abolition is codified in Title 22, Ch. 2, Consular Courts, Sec. 141-143 (Title 22 U.S.C. Sec. 141-143). That is what C.M. Bey created his Classified-Truth A-1 Freehold by Inheritance Registration No. AA222141 from.
Some of the misconceptions that many Moors have about that number is that it is a trust or that it means that North America is Morocco, or that the courts of the United States have no jurisdiction over us. The fact is that is that it has nothing to do with us, it is not a trust, and it does not mean that North America is Morocco.
The repeal of section 141 merely means that the United States (D.C.) relinquished any sort of jurisdiction (civil and criminal) in Morocco and other countries listed. It also repealed any judicial authoriy of U.S. consuls in the Countries listed in the code.

Act Aug. 1, 1956, repealed sections 141 to 143 effective upon the date which the President determined to be appropriate for the relinquishment of jurisdiction of the United States in Morocco.

Notice was given to Morocco on Oct. 6, 1956, and all pending cases were disposed of by 1960. See Bulletin of the State Department Vol. 35:909, page 884.
Section 141, R.S. §§ 4083, 4125, 4126, 4127; act June 14, 1878, ch. 193, 20 Stat. 131, related to judicial authority generally of ministers and consuls of United States in China, Siam, Turkey, Morocco, Muscat, Abyssinia, Persia, and territories formerly part of the Ottoman Empire including Egypt.
Section 142, R.S. § 4084, related to general criminal jurisdiction of ministers and consuls of United States.
Section 143, R.S. § 4085, related to general jurisdiction of ministers and consuls of United States and venue in civil cases.
Many have misunderstood the phrase "United States in Morocco" to think that North America is Morocco. However, the statute also mentions the "United States in China". Does that mean North America is China also? No. They are speaking of the consulates in each of the countries mentioned in the statute. Yet, our people choose to make up stories and scenarios to fit the narative that North America is Morocco.
