What official statements have the U.S. Treasury and Congress issued specifically about NESARA/GESARA?
Executive summary
The U.S. Treasury has explicitly told the public that NESARA — as described by online proponents — is not part of U.S. law and that the Department lacks authority to implement any such program absent legislation, a position reported in contemporaneous coverage and government statements [1]. Congressional records and institutional checks likewise show no record that NESARA or GESARA was enacted; official responses on government platforms and later analyses by legal observers confirm no such legislation was introduced or is in effect [2] [3] [4].
1. The Treasury’s public posture: denial of authority and no record of a law
The Department of the Treasury has been quoted directly saying that “The NESARA proposal has not yet been introduced in the Congress, nor is it part of any current law,” and that the Treasury “is not authorized…to execute or administer any part of NESARA, without the force of law as approved by Congress,” language captured in reporting from the Tacoma News Tribune summarizing a Treasury statement [1]. That phrasing frames the Treasury’s official posture: it will not and cannot unilaterally institute sweeping fiscal measures claimed by NESARA advocates absent enactment through Congress and the normal separation-of-powers process [1].
2. Congressional and White House-era responses: petitions noted, no legislative trace
When NESARA-related petitions reached the White House “We the People” platform, the automated response reminded petitioners that “The proposals in the ‘National Economic Security and Reformation Act’ have not been introduced in Congress, and the Obama Administration cannot implement a law that has not been passed,” demonstrating an administrative acknowledgment that no formal statute existed [2]. Public records and congressional action logs examined by reporting show no passage or signature of any NESARA bill; commentators and legal analyses have reiterated that neither NESARA nor GESARA appears in congressional records as enacted legislation [2] [3].
3. Institutional fact-checks and legal summaries: no law, origins in proposals and internet lore
Researchers tracing NESARA’s origin point to Harvey F. Barnard’s non-legislative reform proposals in the 1990s and to later internetization of the idea into a conspiratorial claim that a secret law had been passed and suppressed; authoritative summaries note Barnard’s proposals “were never introduced in Congress” and that the NESARA conspiracy was shaped online by figures who claimed secret passage and suppression [4]. Legal and investigative summaries conclude that “no such legislation has been introduced or is in effect,” citing both congressional records and statements from institutions such as the Treasury and Library of Congress as the basis for that conclusion [3] [5].
4. What proponents claim versus what officials have said: a persistent gap
Advocates and various websites assert sweeping outcomes — abolition of the IRS, debt jubilee, a new treasury-backed currency, and secret court-ordered enactments — but those claims lack corroboration in government archives; multiple community sites and petitions repeat a narrative of secret passage and delayed proclamation, while official replies and archival searches show no legislative instrument corresponding to those claims [6] [7] [8] [2]. Where proponents point to alleged evidence such as supposed scheduled announcements or back-channel confirmations, government responses and independent legal summaries consistently point back to the simple record: no bill, no enactment, no authority delegated to Treasury to carry out the claimed measures [1] [3].
5. Why the official statements matter and the limits of available documentation
Treasury and White House responses serve to shut down a central claim of NESARA adherents — that an enacted but suppressed law exists — by emphasizing the constitutional requirement that Congress pass laws and the historical absence of any such passage in the legislative record [1] [2]. Reporting and legal summaries reinforce that assessment while also documenting how the NESARA story evolved from a policy proposal into an online conspiracy; however, this review is bounded by the provided sources and does not purport to exhaust every government archive or FOIA record beyond mainstream repositories cited in reporting [4] [3].
