Barteos Australia (“Barteos”) is a non-profit, community benefit organisation dedicated to safeguarding the rights and freedoms of its members from centralized authorities, including corporations and governments. Barteos operates as part of a global, ownerless, and decentralized blockchain accounting system. This innovative technology ensures that Barteos Australia can operate independently from any other country, committing wholly to this Creed to protect and defend all members using Barteos within Australia.

Preamble

The Barteos blockchain system is autonomous and without ownership, recognizing the inherent dignity and equal, inalienable rights of all its users—our members. These principles form the foundation of financial security, freedom, justice, and peace both nationally and globally. In reaffirming our faith in these fundamental human rights and the worth of every individual, we emphasize equality across all genders.

Historically, centralized control over finances has led to global financial crises, characterized by egregious acts by the financial sector and complicit government officials. Such events have shocked the conscience of free people worldwide. In response, the advent of Barteos’s autonomous and decentralized technology offers a robust platform for asset, goods, and service exchanges, empowering individuals by ensuring security and control over their money with minimal transaction costs.

Barteos emerged to ensure that individuals always have control and security over their financial assets, free from the uncertainties of bail-in laws and the inflationary tactics of central banking. Through Barteos, we anticipate the market will naturally gravitate towards the most stable and incorruptible financial system—a system that central banks cannot undermine.

Our members are committed to restoring financial power to the individual, allowing for secure management of personal funds and transactions. We collectively herald a new era of personal financial freedom and human rights for all. Protecting these financial human rights is crucial to prevent uprisings against the financially powerful and oppressive elite. It is vital to foster amicable relations between governments and people under the Rule of Law.

In solidarity with fellow members, we pledge to promote Barteos to achieve universal respect and adherence to financial human rights and fundamental freedoms concerning financial assets and transactions. Barteos members are resolved to use the Barteos system for social betterment and to establish higher standards of living and greater freedoms than previously available.

Declaration

Henceforth, Barteos proclaims this Creed of Financial Human Rights as a universal standard for all members, aiming that each member and every entity within the Barteos community, with this Creed in mind, will endeavor through education and awareness to respect these rights and freedoms. We commit to taking progressive steps, both nationally and internationally, to ensure their broad and effective recognition and observance among the members and within the jurisdictions of governments.
