How are bonds safer than stocks?
There are two reasons. First, bonds have a stated return: it's printed right on the bond. If I buy a two-year bond for $50 and it's got three $10 coupons hanging off it, redeemable at six-month intervals, I know when I return the corpus of the bond my $50 will have become $80. But if I buy a share of stock for $50, tomorrow I could wake up to find my share of stock is now worth $35. Or it could be worth $65. Or nothing. The other reason is that if the company goes belly-up, bondholders are made good before stockholders are. The tradeoff is bonds potentially give less income than stocks. Two years from now, my $50 share of stock might be worth $100. It might not, but it could and stocks doubling in price are not unheard of. That $50 bond will never give more than a total of $80.

What is a private offset bond or private discharging and indemnity bond held by the us treasury?
"a fraud. " Probably in the opinion of some type of agent of the banking cartel, like any lawyer or judge.
If this is really a fraud, it would have an intent to deceive and bring unjust enrichment. The only people who would regard it as deceptive would be those who don't understand it and those who can't admit the truth, usually due to prior obligations. Since 1933 the United States has not had lawful money, but only IOU's borrowed at interest from private persons, the secret owners of the Federal Reserve system. Any IOU's can be used to discharge debt; to require the use of Federal Reserve Notes (FRN's) would be involuntary servitude, which is illegal, but the covert goal of the current financial system. It is the system of forcing everyone to use interest bearing IOU's as the "official" exchange medium that is fraud, but the private entities that benefit control every government as its ultimate creditors. Cross those entities and presidents get assassinated and countries get invaded (by proxies, and for falsely stated reasons.)
The bond being asked about is deposited with Treasury to offset any debts collateralized by your birth certificate application, or any other government document or interaction associated with your name, and also to collateralize any future bonds you might create, say of court cases, to secure payment of utilities, and for any bonded promissory notes you might issue to discharge debts. You're legally entitled to do this (HJR 192 of 6/5/1933) else a lot of powerful people would be guilty of fraud, theft, and receiving stolen property. By charging you with fraud for filing this, they are trying to have it both ways, or just testing you. Cases where a successful defense was mounted have doubtless been sealed, as have right to travel cases, so you can't use them as precedent. Lawyers and judges owe their primary allegiance to the British Crown and will do nothing to help you, despite any pretense they may make to get paid. You'll have to do your defense yourself. Succeed and you'll probably be pressed to sign a non-disclosure agreement and given a bottomless credit card. I believe death is the penalty if you violate this, and that a similar agreement is taken from judges and lawyers, simply to enter their profession.
If the real money is ever returned, which is highly unlikely, you'll pay off any bonds or other debt instruments you've issued out of your share. Until then, nobody can pay a debt, but only discharge it by issuing a new debt instrument. Doing this will bring illegitimate charges of fraud from the system. Look up 'accepted for value', 'banker's acceptance', "Modern Money Mechanics", and the "Walker Todd Affidavit", for the official explanation, the latter two of which you may need to enter into evidence. A jury trial in admiralty seems advisable, and maybe an "ecclesiastical deed poll" would be of help to eliminate jurisdiction altogether. Good Luck.
LEGAL INFORMATION IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE. YOU'LL BE HELD PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THAT YOU DO.
A payment slip is a document sent by a creditor to a debtor with all the necessary information filled in in order a payment to take place. The debtor confirms the payment by her/his signature and the sum due to be payed, in case the latter has not been included. Usually the payment slips are in the form of strips of paper, but since some time electronic payment slips exist too. They are sent on the debtor's mobile phone or e-mail and the confirmation of the latter is necessary in order an electronic payment to take place.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of shares and debentures?
Shares offer the advantage of potential capital appreciation and dividends, giving investors a stake in the company's growth and profits. However, they come with higher risk, as shareholders may lose their investment if the company underperforms. Debentures provide fixed interest returns and are generally less risky, as they have priority over shares in the event of liquidation. On the downside, debentures typically offer lower returns compared to shares and lack the potential for capital gains.

No. According to the government website, banks are required to cash savings bonds for customers and non-customers. There is a limit of $1000 per request however.

Can the yield on a 3-year treasury bond exceed the yield on a 10-year treasury bond?
Yes, three different situations that I can think of: The 3-year and 10-year notes were issued on the same day, then the yield curve was inverted and short term rates were higher than long term rates. If the 3-year and 10-year notes were issued at different times, at the time the 3-year treasury note was issued, prevailing 3-year interest rates were higher than the 10-year rates at the time the 10-year was issued. If for some reason, the market vastly prefers 10-year terms over 3-year terms, and bids up the price of 10-year notes much higher than 3-year notes. This would depress the yield on 10-year notes, possibly below that of 3-year notes.
