1.  INTRODUCTION

There is a very good reason why this page is entitled "Liberty University" instead of "Freedom University".  Liberty means freedom PLUS personal responsibility.  Those who want to avoid personal responsibility seek "freedom" instead of "liberty".  What most politicians deceptively call "freedom" is really nothing more than legislatively created "franchises" that are designed to enslave the people using their own sin and DESTROY your God-give rights, not protect them.

“Liberty Means Responsibility.  That's why most men dread it.”
[George Bernard Shaw]

"For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish [presumptuous or irresponsible] men— as free, yet not using liberty as a cloak for vice, but as bondservants of [RESPONSIBLE TO] God. Honor all people. Love the brotherhood."
[1 Peter 2:15-17, Bible, NKJV]

There is a grave need in America for educational curricula and materials to teach ordinary people (the "joe six pack" types) about freedom, law, sovereignty, and taxes.  Instructional materials which are succinct and boil the issues down to their barest, common-sense essentials but which at the same time grab and captivate people's hearts and minds is very difficult to find indeed.  The government and the legal profession have also done their best to keep this kind of information out of the hands of the masses, because it threatens and undermines their power and influence.  Offerings available on the Family Guardian Website, while they are very complete and detailed, do not teach these concepts in a simple, or high-level manner that is appealing to large crowds of newly introduced people who are interested in learning more about the subject.  The focus of this page is therefore to offer educational materials that are devoted to such a purpose.  It is our intention to use your gracious donations to our ministry for the following purposes:

  • Develop animated, video tutorial versions of all Powerpoint slideshows that can be viewed on both high- and low-bandwidth internet connections
  • Expand the educational curricula offerings over time so that a complete curriculum of freedom materials are available for those who want to start "Sovereignty Fellowships" in their area and throughout the country.
  • Assemble these core training materials into a CD-ROM and accompanying workbook suitable for mass-distribution at low cost
  • Develop "Fellowship Articles", that will help volunteers organize and fund and maintain their Sovereignty Fellowships, so that we have a sustainable political base upon which to institute the political and legal and tax reforms that are so desperately needed. 
  • Use the above materials to create a nation-wide network of politically and legally active Americans who are focused on change and reform, and who partner frequently and regularly with other like-minded institutions and organizations.
  • Pay for the high bandwidth required to host the large files appearing on this page.

The above approach is the only way to take our country and our government back from the thieves and Pharisees who have hijacked it for their own personal gain.  Our government was established as a "public trust", and the "trustees", who are our "public servants" have taken it over and made it into their "alter ego" for personal gain, because the "beneficiaries", We the People, fell asleep at the wheel.  We were put to sleep by a corrupted government public education system that doesn't teach children about law or the Constitution or the Separation of Powers.  Our government has now become what the courts commonly call a "sham trust", which ironically has become this way mainly because of these same corrupted courts. 

The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares

Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; but while men slept, his enemy [our public dis-servants] came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop [We, the American People, are the "crop"], then the tares also appeared.  So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ He said to them, ‘An enemy [our corrupted public dis-servants] has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest [the final judgment], and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat [us believers and followers of God's law] into my barn [God's house].”’
[Matt. 13:24-30, Bible, NKJV]

The problems and obstacles that we face as a people are mainly political, and not legal, in nature and require a remedy within the political sphere.  This page was inspired by the following article:

The educational materials below are sequenced in a progression of increasing complexity.  We suggest that you view or read or watch them in the order they are presented because they build on each other.  You may download and freely reuse any of the materials appearing here for personal use or group viewing.  However:

  1. They may NOT be sold and must be provided at cost to whomever you give them to.
  2. The copyright notice and author information must remain intact.  If excerpts of our materials are used, the source should be acknowledged and a weblink must be provided to this website.
  3. If the materials are presented to a group, then they may NOT be presented in conjunction with or as part of any presentation that includes any of the false or illegal arguments appearing in the free " Flawed Tax Arguments to Avoid" pamphlet.  We do this to ensure that we are not associated with or discredited by knowingly false or questionable approaches of well-intentioned but often ignorant and presumptuous neophytes within the freedom community.  This is the only way to ensure that we bring nothing but honor and glory to the Lord, which is the main goal of this website.

It's actually better if you download the materials below and view them offline so that you will conserve our precious bandwidth, because the files tend to be rather large. To download any one of the items and store it on your computer, simply RIGHT-CLICK on the link and select "Save Target As" and then tell your computer where to store the file.  It's that simple.  We would also like to recommend that you make an effort to try to contact and thank those people who courageously sacrificed their time and their work to produce the excellent free materials appearing below.

Years of research and effort have been devoted to making sure that all of the materials on our website are entirely consistent with each other and consistent with both God's law and man's law (OFFSITE LINK). 

It is, of course, true that statutory construction [or interpretation] “is a holistic endeavor” and that the meaning of a provision is “clarified by the remainder of the statutory scheme ... [when] only one of the permissible meanings produces a substantive effect that is compatible with the rest of the law.” United Sav. Assn. of Tex. v. Timbers of Inwood Forest Associates, Ltd., 484 U.S. 365, 371, 108 S.Ct. 626, 98 L.Ed.2d 740 (1988).

[U.S. v. Cleveland Indians Baseball Co., 532 U.S. 200, 121 S.Ct. 1433 (2001)]

Please therefore give yourself plenty of time to read and study the materials on this page before you run off half-cocked and demand answers to questions or conflicts that arise in your mind as you are reading something.  If there are conflicts in your mind, chances are it is because you haven't given yourself enough time to digest these materials or because you are making presumptions that simply cannot be supported with facts and evidence.  An important goal of this website is to challenge all such presumptions and eliminate them, which is sure to cause confusion in your mind until you look at the evidence for yourself using materials on this page.  We have found that the best approach for resolving conflicts in your mind as they arise is to identify the topic which they relate to within the list of memorandums of law found later in section 7.5 of this page and to read the memorandum, which usually clears up the confusion by providing all the facts and law that are relevant to the subject of the memorandum.  That is why we mention and quote these memorandums so frequently throughout our publications.

If questions arise in your mind about the issues discussed here that you can't resolve by further study of our extensive educational materials, you may wish to visit the following resources, where you can meet and interact with like-minded freedom fighters such as yourself.  We are simply not equipped with the resources necessary to answer your many questions individually, so please consult the following resources instead:

If you would like to provide feedback or suggest corrections to these materials or anything else on our website, please submit your suggestions to our Forums page, in the "Errata reports" forum within the "SEDM Website" section.  You will need to become a Member in order to join our Forums.

Do not even the tax collectors do the same?  And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so?  Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect."

2.6.  REQUIREMENT FOR CONSENT

2.7.  DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY ORDER FROM GOD TO CHRISTIANS

This book proves that the Holy Bible is a trust indenture, God is the beneficiary, and Christians are trustees and fiduciaries of Him and ONLY Him.  It proves that the Bible forbids us to engage in any of the following with or towards any ruler or government:

  1. Idolatry.  Idolatry towards a king or ruler or government would violate the first four commandments of the ten commandments.

  2. Commerce.  Black's Law Dictionary defines  "commerce" as  "intercourse", which is what the Bible book of Revelation also describes as "fornication" of Babylon the Great Harlot.

  3. Franchises.

  4. Having any king, ruler or judge above us or between us and God.  That would mean divided allegiance which God does not tolerate.

  5. Contracts

As a trust indenture, the Bible is a contract, and the First Amendment and Article 1, Section 10 of the United States Constitution forbids any state or federal government from interfering with this contract.  This position gives us great standing in court to defend ourselves from attempts by the government or others to compel us to participate in government franchises, which are contracts, or to commit idolatry by making government into a "parens patriae" in relation to us by virtue of participation in said franchises.  These franchises include Social Security, Medicare, the income tax, driver's licenses, marriage licenses, etc.

2.8.  COOPERATIVE FEDERALISM

This short but very well-written pamphlet succinctly and passionately describes the separation of powers between the state and federal governments.  It is MUST reading for those who want to have a good legal foundation for defending their rights.

2.9.  HOW SCOUNDRELS CORRUPTED OUR REPUBLICAN FORM OF GOVERNMENT

This brief article provides a chronological history that definitively proves how our republican form of government mandated by Article 4, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution has been corrupted over the years and thereby transformed into a socialist democracy.  It applies the concepts about sovereignty learned earlier in this section to show how the arrangement of sovereign functions of government have invisibly but relentlessly been rearranged to prejudice and undermine the rights and sovereignty of the people by whom and for whom all government exists and acts.

2.10.  PRESUMPTION:  CHIEF WEAPON FOR UNLAWFULLY ENLARGING FEDERAL JURISDICTION

The key to protect  our sovereignty is to make sure that the government "stays inside the ten mile square box" that the Constitution put it inside of.  The only way to keep it inside the box is to prevent false presumption of all kinds, both in the political arena and especially in the legal arena.  This memorandum of law explains the root of most of the corruption and evil we find in our present day government, which is false "presumption" and the exploitation of it in courtrooms by covetous and malicious judges and prosecutors in order to expand federal jurisdiction where none actually exists and to pad their pockets and retirement checks.

Understanding presumptions is important because when left unchallenged, they:

  1. Are very injurious to your rights and liberty.
  2. Violate the separation of powers by allowing otherwise constitutional courts to unlawfully entertain "political questions".
  3. Cause a violation of due process of law because decisions are not based on legally admissible evidence.  Instead, presumptions unlawfully and prejudicially turn beliefs into evidence in violation of Federal Rule of Evidence 610 and the Hearsay Rule, Rule 802.
  4. Turn judges into "priests" of a civil religion.
  5. Turn legal process into an act of religion.
  6. Transform "attorneys" into deacons of a state-sponsored religion.
  7. Turn the courtroom into a church building.
  8. Turn court proceedings into a "worship service" akin to that of a church.
  9. Turn statutes into a state-sponsored bible upon which "worship services" are based.
  10. Turn "taxes" into tithes to a state-sponsored church, if the controversy before the court involves taxation.

For further details on all the above mechanisms, see:

Socialism:  The New American Civil Religion, Form #05.016

Below is the link to the article from our Forms page.

If you want some humorous but true examples of why presumption is evil because it causes us to judge things too quickly and to believe things which often aren't true, see the following.

All of the people in the above videos are "dissimulated", meaning that they have been made to appear like something they are not.  This is the same thing that most human beings are victim of:  They are wrongfully made to appear as "taxpayers" because of the false and fraudulent information returns filed against them that the DOJ, because of "selective enforcement", refuses to prosecute..

2.11.  SOVEREIGNTY FORMS AND INSTRUCTIONS

2.12.  POLICY DOCUMENT:  CORRUPTION WITHIN MODERN CHRISTIANITY

Modern Christian churches, pastors, and parishoners are teaching doctrine that clearly conflicts with the revealed word of God in the Holy Bible.  This deception causes idolatry towards government and destroys any possibility that Christians will assert their sovereignty in the political or legal realm.  It is very important that Christians be informed about this deception and have the tools to fight it and fix it.  You can use this document to educate yourself, your loved ones, and members of your church about the deception.  Below is the link to the article from our Forms page.

3.7.  WHY DOMICILE AND BECOMING A "TAXPAYER" REQUIRE YOUR CONSENT

This article is VERY enlightening and explains some extremely important information about the origin of ALL of the government's civil jurisdiction over us, which is your voluntary choice of legal domicile.  It proves that the only people the government can "govern" and who are therefore "persons" under federal civil law are those who WANT to be governed, consistent with what the Declaration of Independence says:

"That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their JUST powers from the CONSENT of the governed.. ."

[Declaration of Independence]

It shows how the process of volunteering into the government's jurisdiction and becoming a "subject citizen" occurs, so that you will know how to UNVOLUNTEER and restore your sovereign status as a person governed by God's Laws rather than the pagan civil religion that self-serving lawyers and politicians have created as a vain and idolatrous substitute.

3.9.  REASONABLE BELIEF ABOUT INCOME TAX LIABILITY

In order to competently defend our sovereignty, we must be well-informed about exactly what evidence of enacted law is legally admissible in court as a basis for a good-faith, reasonable belief about one's tax liability.  We have not been able to locate even one source in any law library, government website, or government publication that comprehensively addresses exactly what a person can rely upon in forming such a reasonable belief, and which takes into account all available sources of belief.  Our research reveals that the answer to this question is dependent on your exact legal circumstances, such as your domicile and also the nature of any contracts or employment you may have in relation to the federal government.  Therefore, we have crafted a pamphlet that answers this question succinctly and authoritatively using readily available and verifiable sources.    The document is also useful in developing what is called a "reliance defense" against criminal prosecution for any violation of the criminal provisions of the I.R.C.  EVERYONE should have this absolutely essential document in their evidence arsenal and attached to their IRS correspondence, people!

4.  AVOIDING GOVERNMENT FRANCHISES AND LICENSES

This section deals with how to avoid government "franchises".  A "franchise" is an arrangement usually between you and the government, the voluntary acceptance of which puts you into a "privileged" state and causes a surrender of rights of one kind or another. The courts call "franchises" by various pseudonames to disguise the nature of the inferior relation to the government of "franchisees", such as "public right" or "privilege".   Franchises include:

  1. All federal and state income taxes. Click here for details.

  2. Domicile in the forum state, which causes one to end up being one of the following:

    1.1  Statutory "U.S. citizen" pursuant to 8 U.S.C. §1401 if a domestic national.

    1.2  Statutory "Permanent resident" pursuant to 26 U.S.C. §7701(b)(1)(A) if a foreign national.

  3. Becoming a notary public.  This makes the applicant into a "public official" commissioned by the state government.

Chapter 1

Introduction

§1.1 Generally

 

A notary public (sometimes called a notary) is a public official appointed under authority of law with power, among other things, to administer oaths, certify affidavits, take acknowledgments, take depositions, perpetuate testimony, and protect negotiable instruments.  Notaries are not appointed under federal law; they are appointed under the authority of the various states, districts, territories, as in the case of the Virgin Islands, and the commonwealth, in the case of Puerto Rico.  The statutes, which define the powers and duties of a notary public, frequently grant the notary the authority to do all acts justified by commercial usage and the "law merchant".

[Anderson's Manual for Notaries Public, Ninth Edition, 2001, ISBN 1-58360-357-3]

  1. Becoming a registered "voter" rather than an "elector".

  2. Serving as a jurist.  18 U.S.C. §201(a)(1) says that all persons serving as federal jurists are "public officials".

  3. I.R.C. 501(c )(3) status for churches.  Churches that register under this program become government "trustees" and "public officials" that are part of the government.  Is THIS what you call "separation of church and state"?  Click here (OFFSITE LINK) for details.

  4. All licensed activites, such as:
    7.1  Attorney licenses.  All attorneys are "officers of the court" and the courts in turn are part of the government.  Click
           here for details.
    7.2  Marriage licenses.  Click here for details.
    7.3  Driver's licenses.    Click here for details.
    7.4  Professional licenses.
    7.5  Fishing licenses.

  5. All government "benefits", including, but not limited to:
    8.1  Social Security benefits.  Click here for details.
    8.1  Medicare.
    8.2  Medicaid.

  6. FDIC insurance of banks.    31 CFR §202.2 says all FDIC insured banks are "agents" of the federal government and therefore "public officers".

  7. Participation of banks in the federal Reserve System.  12 U.S.C. §90 makes all "national banks" that are part of the Federal Reserve System into "agents of the government".

The U.S. Supreme Court acknowledged that private conduct is beyond the reach of the government and that certain harmful, and therefore regulated activities may cause the actors to become “public officers” when it held the following.

“One great object of the Constitution is to permit citizens to structure their private relations as they choose subject only to the constraints of statutory or decisional law. [500 U.S. 614, 620]  

To implement these principles, courts must consider from time to time where the governmental sphere [e.g. “public purpose” and “public office”] ends and the private sphere begins. Although the conduct of private parties lies beyond the Constitution's scope in most instances, governmental authority may dominate an activity to such an extent that its participants must be deemed to act with the authority of the government and, as a result, be subject to constitutional constraints. This is the jurisprudence of state action, which explores the "essential dichotomy" between the private sphere and the public sphere, with all its attendant constitutional obligations. Moose Lodge, supra, at 172.“

[. . .]

Given that the statutory authorization for the challenges exercised in this case is clear, the remainder of our state action analysis centers around the second part of the Lugar test, whether a private litigant, in all fairness, must be deemed a government actor in the use of peremptory challenges. Although we have recognized that this aspect of the analysis is often a fact-bound inquiry, see Lugar, supra, 457 U.S. at 939, our cases disclose certain principles of general application. Our precedents establish that, in determining whether a particular action or course of conduct is governmental in character, it is relevant to examine the following:

[1] the extent to which the actor relies on governmental assistance and benefits, see Tulsa Professional Collection Services, Inc. v. Pope, 485 U.S. 478 (1988); Burton v. Wilmington Parking Authority, 365 U.S. 715 (1961);

[2] whether the the actor is performing a traditional governmental function, see Terry v. Adams, 345 U.S. 461 (1953); Marsh v. Alabama, 326 U.S. 501 (1946); cf. San Francisco Arts & Athletics, Inc. v. United States Olympic [500 U.S. 614, 622] Committee, 483 U.S. 522, 544 -545 (1987);

[3] and whether the injury caused is aggravated in a unique way by the incidents of governmental authority, see Shelley v. Kraemer, 334 U.S. 1 (1948).

Based on our application of these three principles to the circumstances here, we hold that the exercise of peremptory challenges by the defendant in the District Court was pursuant to a course of state action.

[Edmonson v. Leesville Concrete Company, 500 U.S. 614 (1991)]

Note that the "statutory or decisional law" they are referring to above are ONLY.

  1. Criminal law.

  2. Franchises that you consensually engage in using your right to contract.

For an explanation of why this is, see: Why Statutory Civil Law is Law for Government and Not Private Persons, Form #05.037.

 

Nearly every type of government-issued benefit, license, or "privilege" you could possibly procure makes you into a "public officer", "public official", "fiduciary", "alien", "resident", 'transferee", or "trustee" of the government of one kind or another with a "residence" on federal territory. 

“All the powers of the government [ including ALL of its civil enforcement powers against the public] must be carried into operation by individual agency, either through the medium of public officers, or contracts made with [private] individuals.”
[Osborn v. Bank of U.S., 22 U.S. 738 (1824)]

The application or license to procure the " benefits" of the franchise constitutes the contract mentioned above that creates the public office and the "RES" which is "IDENT-ified" within the government's legislative jurisdiction on federal territory.  Hence "RES-IDENT"/"resident".

"Res.  Lat.  The subject matter of a trust [the Social Security Trust or the "public trust"/"public office", in most cases] or will [or legislation].  In the civil law, a thing; an object.  As a term of the law, this word has a very wide and extensive signification, including not only things which are objects of property, but also such as are not capable of individual ownership.  And in old English law it is said to have a general import, comprehending both corporeal and incorporeal things of whatever kind, nature, or species.  By "res," according to the modern civilians, is meant everything that may form an object of rights, in opposition to "persona," which is regarded as a subject of rights.  "Res," therefore, in its general meaning, comprises actions [or CONSEQUENCES of choices and CONTRACTS/AGREEMENTS you make by procuring BENEFITS]  of all kinds; while in its restricted sense it comprehends every object of right, except actions.  This has reference to the fundamental division of the Institutes that all law relates either to persons, to things, or to actions.

 

Res is everything that may form an object of rights and includes an object, subject-matter or status.  In re Riggle's Will, 11 A.D.2d 51 205 N.Y.S.2d 19, 21, 22.  The term is particularly applied to an object, subject-matter, or status, considered as the defendant [hence, the ALL CAPS NAME] in an action, or as an object against which, directly, proceedings are taken.  Thus, in a prize case, the captured vessel is "the res"; and proceedings of this character are said to be in rem.  (See In personam; In Rem.)  "Res" may also denote the action or proceeding, as when a cause, which is not between adversary parties, is entitled "In re ______".
[Black's Law Dictionary, Sixth Edition, pp. 1304-1306]

The "subject matter or status" they are talking about includes all privileged statuses such as "taxpayer", "benefit recipient", "citizen", or "resident".  Even domicile is a type of franchise--a "protection franchise", to be precise.  This "res-ident" is what most people in the freedom community would refer to as your "straw man".  If a state-issued license or benefit is at issue, the territory that the privilege or franchise attaches to is federal territory that is usually in a federal area within the exterior limits of the state.  The reason all licenses must presume domicile of the "person" on federal territory is that they are implemented using civil law and they regulate the exercise of rights protected by the Constitution, which in turn is a violation of rights.  The Constitution and the Bill of Rights portion of the Constitution does not apply on federal territory, and therefore there is no conflict with the Constitution in regulating the exercise of rights there.

“Indeed, the practical interpretation put by Congress upon the Constitution has been long continued and uniform to the effect [182 U.S. 244, 279] that the Constitution is applicable to territories acquired by purchase or conquest, only when and so far as Congress shall so direct. Notwithstanding its duty to 'guarantee to every state in this Union a republican form of government' (art. 4, 4), by which we understand, according to the definition of Webster, 'a government in which the supreme power resides in the whole body of the people, and is exercised by representatives elected by them,' Congress did not hesitate, in the original organization of the territories of Louisiana, Florida, the Northwest Territory, and its subdivisions of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, and Wisconsin and still more recently in the case of Alaska, to establish a form of government bearing a much greater analogy to a British Crown colony than a republican state of America, and to vest the legislative power either in a governor and council, or a governor and judges, to be appointed by the President. It was not until they had attained a certain population that power was given them to organize a legislature by vote of the people. In all these cases, as well as in territories subsequently organized west of the Mississippi, Congress thought it necessary either to extend to Constitution and laws of the United States over them, or to declare that the inhabitants should be entitled to enjoy the right of trial by jury, of bail, and of the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus, as well as other privileges of the bill of rights.”
[Downes v. Bidwell, 182 U.S. 244 (1901)]

In that sense, applying for any kind of "privilege" or franchise from the government amounts to your constructive consent to be treated as a "resident alien" who is domiciled on federal territory and who has no constitutional rights.  The following articles and forms describe this straw man and provide tools to notify the government that you have disconnected yourself from this "straw man" who is the "public officer" that is the only proper or lawful subject of most federal legislation:

  1. Proof that There Is a "Straw Man", Form #05.042

  2. State Created Office of "Person" (OFFSITE LINK)

  3. IRS Form 56: Notice Concerning Fiduciary Relationship, Form #04.204

  4. Affidavit of Corporate Denial, Form #02.004

Participating in federal franchises has the following effects upon the legal status of various types of "persons" listed below.  The right column describes the status of the "public officer" you represent while you are acting in that capacity.  The right column is a judicial creation not found directly in the statutes and which results from the application of the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, 28 U.S.C. §1605.  It does not describe your own private status.  This "public officer" in the right column is the "straw man" that is the subject of nearly all federal legislation that could or does regulate your conduct.  Without the existence of the straw man, the Thirteenth Amendment would make it illegal to enforce federal civil law against human beings because of the prohibition against involuntary servitude.  For details on how the change in "choice of law" is effected by you voluntarily consenting to assume the duties of the "public officer" straw man, read sections 13 through 13.5 of our pamphlet below:

WARNING:  Participating in ANY government franchise can leave you entirely without standing or remedy in any federal court!  Essentially, by eating out of the government's hand, you are SCREWED, BLACK AND BLUED, and TATTOOED! 

"These general rules are well settled: (1) That the United States, when it creates rights in individuals against itself [a "public right", which is a euphemism for a "franchise" to help the court disguise the nature of the transaction], is under no obligation to provide a remedy through the courts. United States ex rel. Dunlap v. Black, 128 U. S. 40, 9 Sup. Ct. 12, 32 L. Ed. 354;  Ex parte Atocha, 17 Wall. 439, 21 L. Ed. 696;   Gordon v. United States, 7 Wall. 188, 195, 19 L. Ed. 35;  De Groot v. United States, 5 Wall. 419, 431, 433, 18 L. Ed. 700;  Comegys v. Vasse, 1 Pet. 193, 212, 7 L. Ed. 108.  (2)  That where a statute creates a right and provides a special remedy, that remedy is exclusive. Wilder Manufacturing Co. v. Corn Products Co., 236 U. S. 165, 174, 175, 35 Sup. Ct. 398, 59 L. Ed. 520, Ann. Cas. 1916A, 118;  Arnson v. Murphy, 109 U. S. 238, 3 Sup. Ct. 184, 27 L. Ed. 920;   Barnet v. National Bank, 98 U. S. 555, 558, 25 L. Ed. 212; Farmers' & Mechanics' National Bank v. Dearing, 91 U. S. 29, 35, 23 L. Ed. 196. Still the fact that the right and the remedy are thus intertwined might not, if the provision stood alone, require us to hold that the remedy expressly given excludes a right of review by the Court of Claims, where the decision of the special tribunal involved no disputed question of fact and the denial of compensation was rested wholly upon the construction of the act. See Medbury v. United States, 173 U. S. 492, 198, 19 Sup. Ct. 503, 43 L. Ed. 779;   Parish v. MacVeagh, 214 U. S. 124, 29 Sup. Ct. 556, 53 L. Ed. 936;  McLean v. United States, 226 U. S. 374, 33 Sup. Ct. 122, 57 L. Ed. 260;   United States v. Laughlin (No. 200), 249 U. S. 440, 39 Sup. Ct. 340, 63 L. Ed. 696,  decided April 14, 1919. But here Congress has provided:

[U.S. v. Babcock, 250 U.S. 328, 39 S.Ct. 464 (1919)]

For a detailed exposition of why the above is true, see also Allen v. Graham, 8 Ariz.App. 336, 446 P.2d 240 (Ariz.App. 1968).  Signing up for government entitlements hands them essentially a blank check, because they, and not you, determine the cost for the service and how much you will pay for it beyond that point.  This makes the public servant into your Master and beyond that point, you must lick the hands that feed you.  Watch Out!  NEVER, EVER take a hand-out from the government of ANY kind, or you'll end up being their CHEAP WHORE.  The Bible calls this WHORE "Babylon the Great Harlot".  Remember:  Black's Law Dictionary defines "commerce", e.g. commerce with the GOVERNMENT, as "intercourse".  Bend over!

Commerce.  …Intercourse by way of trade and traffic between different peoples or states and the citizens or inhabitants thereof, including not only the purchase, sale, and exchange of commodities, but also the instrumentalities [governments] and agencies by which it is promoted and the means and appliances by which it is carried on…” 
[Black’s Law Dictionary, Sixth Edition, p. 269]

Government franchises and licenses are the main method for destroying the sovereignty of the people pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1603(b)(3) and 28 U.S.C. §1605(a)(2).  They are also the MAIN method that our public servants abuse to escape the straight jacket chains of the constitution.  Below is an admission by the U.S. Supreme Court of this fact in relation to Social Security:

“We must conclude that a person covered by the Act has not such a right in benefit payments… This is not to say, however, that Congress may exercise its power to modify the statutory scheme free of all constitutional restraint.” 
[Flemming v. Nestor, 363 U.S. 603 (1960)]

4.4.  WHY IT IS ILLEGAL FOR ME TO REQUEST OR USE A TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER

There are many occasions in which Christians are called to either request, to use, or to disclose government issued identifying numbers such as Social Security Numbers or Taxpayer Identification Numbers (TINs).  The Bible calls such numbers the “mark of the beast” and calls all governments who issue them “the beast”.

"And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army."
[Rev. 19:19, Bible, NKJV]

The focus of this form is to provide a compact, convenient form that can be presented by persons doing business with private employers and financial institutions that will prove that they may not lawfully have or use government issued identifying numbers and would be violating the criminal laws to do so.  This places the recipient of the form in the awkward position of either willfully engaging in a conspiracy to commit a crime or removing their demand for such a number.

4.5.  AFFIDAVIT OF CITIZENSHIP, DOMICILE, AND TAX STATUS

The IRS has no form that nonresident aliens domiciled in states of the Union who are not engaged in a "trade or business" and not "individuals" (meaning "public officers" in the government) can use to describe their lawful citizenship and tax status to the government, businesses, and financial institutions.  Those who are "individuals" are described in 26 CFR §1.871-1(b)(1)(i), but there is no equivalent regulation for those who are not "individuals" and no form available to use to document their immunity or sovereignty.

  1. IRS Form 8233 is inadequate because it is for "personal services" rendered within the "United States" (e.g. federal zone).  The I.R.C. and regs presume that "personal services" means services connected with a "trade or business".

  2. There is no form available to exempt from withholding a person not in receipt of taxable "privileges" because not engaged in "personal services" ("trade or business" services), not working within the federal zone ("United States"), not engaged in a "trade or business", not a "beneficial owner",  not participating in Socialist INSecurity, and not in receipt of treaty benefits.  In effect, they are refusing to acknowledge that a person can be a nontaxpayer without accepting a "privilege" because they want to compel everyone into a privileged state to destroy their rights and sovereignty.

  3. The closest we have been able to come in searching for such a needed form is the AMENDED IRS form W-8BEN, but it still leaves much to be desired because it doesn't specifically indicate that withholding is unlawful in the case of such a person, even though IRS Pub 519, the I.R.C., and the Treasury regulations authorize such an exemption from withholding and tax liability.  See 26 CFR §1.872-2(f), 26 CFR §31.3401(a)(6)-1(b), 26 U.S.C. §861(a)(3)(C)(i), 26 U.S.C. §3401(a)(6), 26 U.S.C. §1402(b), and 26 U.S.C. §7701(a)(31).

  4. The original IRS form W-8, discontinued in 2002, served the required purpose.  The IRS modified the form by replacing it with the W-8BEN so that people with the correct status above would have no remedy to defend their  status using what the law allows.  They did this to dupe even more people unwittingly into becoming "taxpayers". 

People have been asking us for a substitute form that does the job to make it easier to defend and explain their sovereignty on certain key occasions, and now they have authoritative tools to use to defend their status!  This item solves these problems and provides a very potent and compact form can be used for several important occasions in order to explain, defend, and justify your status as a constitutional citizen, not a statutory "U.S. citizen" as defined 8 U.S.C. §1401, a "national", a " nonresident alien", and a "nontaxpayer".  It is specifically designed to attach to any one of the following important applications to clarify your citizenship, domicile, and tax status:

  1. Financial account applications along with an AMENDED IRS form W-8BEN in order to open an account without an SLAVE SURVEILLANCE NUMBER or any kind of 1099 reporting or tax withholding.  NOTE:  DO NOT use the standard IRS form W-8BEN, because it makes you into a "beneficial owner" and therefore a "taxpayer".

  2. Job application

  3. Voter registration

  4. Jury summons response

  5. Government application or form

4.6.  USA PASSPORT APPLICATION ATTACHMENT

The terms used on the USA Passport Application, Dept. of State Form DS-11, relating to citizenship are deliberately vague and ambiguous and do not provide an option for THREE types of American citizenship that a person can have.  This is exhaustively explained in the following memorandum of law:

The DS-11 Passport Application form only gives one choice, and that choice creates a presumption that one is a statutory rather than constitutional "U.S. citizen" as defined in 8 U.S.C. §1401. This presumption is FALSE in the case of all persons who are domiciled in a state of the Union.  The only way to prevent this false resumption is to either modify the form before you submit it or to attach this form.  Using this form is EXTREMELY important.

The terms used on state voter registration forms relating to citizenship are deliberately vague and ambiguous and do not provide an option for THREE types of American citizenship that a person can have.  This is exhaustively explained in the following memorandum of law:

Most state voter registration forms only give one choice, and that choice creates a presumption that one is a statutory rather than constitutional "U.S. citizen" as defined in 8 U.S.C. §1401.

4.8.  TAX FORM ATTACHMENT

STANDARD IRS forms are famous for creating the following false presumptions:

  1. That you are a "taxpayer".  The only persons the IRS Mission Statement found in IRM 1.1.1.1 authorizes the IRS to help or publish forms for are "taxpayers".  See our Form #05.013 for for details.

  2. That because you provided a federal identifying number, you are a "franchisee" engaged in a "trade or business" and a "public office" within the U.S. government.  See our Form #07.004 for details.

  3. That you maintain a domicile in the "United States", which is defined in 26 U.S.C. §7701(a)(9) and (a)(10) as the federal zone and nowhere expressly includes any state of the Union.  The IRS Form 1040, for instance, is only for use by those who maintain a "domicile" or "residence" within the federal zone, which people domiciled in states of the Union do not.

  4. That you are an "individual", which is defined in 26 CFR §1.1441-1(c )(3) as a  "nonresident alien individual" as defined in 26 U.S.C. §7701(b)(1)(B) or "alien individual" pursuant to 26 U.S.C. §7701(b)(1)(A) domiciled in the "United States" who works for the U.S. government in a "public office" as the "employee" defined in 5 U.S.C. §2105.

    4.1  The term "individual" is deliberately not defined in the I.R.C. because this would spill the beans that you can't be
          an "individual" subject to federal jurisdiction who is not an "employee", officer, or instrumentality of the U.S.
           government. 

    4.2  These same "individuals" are also defined as "federal personnel" in 5 U.S.C. §552a(a)(2) and they are all federal
            trusts created under the authority of the Social Security Act.

    4.3  The income tax is a tax on these trusts, and this is confirmed by the definition of "income" found in 26 U.S.C.
            §643(b).  The Social Security Trust associated with the SSN/TIN is, in fact, the ONLY real or lawful "taxpayer".
           This trust is  a wholly owned subsidiary of " U.S. Inc.", which is a federal corporation and therefore the trust
           also is a federal corporation.  This is also clarified in:
            Why Statutory Civil Law is Law for Government and Not Private Persons, Form #05.037

All four of the above false presumptions have the desired consequences of causing you to surrender your sovereign immunity pursuant to 28 U.S.C.§1603(b)(3) and 28 U.S.C. §1605(a)(2) and making you into an indentured servant of the federal government who is surety for public debts and every pork barrel spending bill your public DIS-servants dream up.  There are three methods for preventing or overcoming these deliberately false presumptions:

  1. Use AMENDED IRS forms that remove the presumptions.  Click here (OFFSITE LINK) for a source of AMENDED IRS forms.

  2. Use STANDARD IRS forms and then modify them to correctly reflect your status.  The modifications required are listed in Section 1 of this link.  Sometimes, the IRS tries to penalize people who "alter" their forms.

  3. Use STANDARD IRS forms that you don't modify but above your signature write "Not valid without signed Tax Form Attachment attached" and then attach this form.  This approach avoids any penalties the IRS might attempt to impose for "altering" their forms, and yet avoids you having to commit perjury under penalty of perjury on a government form.

This form provides a standardized and very effective way to accomplish the last option above.  The last option above implemented with this form is the most convenient of the above three options and provides a very consistent and bullet-proof way to correctly describe your status as a Member using any government form.  Using this form with EVERY STANDARD IRS form you submit is a mandatory requirement of our Member Agreement.

4.9.  CORRECTING ERRONEOUS INFORMATION RETURNS

False information returns filed against people are the main method by which "nontaxpayers" are compelled unlawfully to become "taxpayers".  Filing of these false returns is a quite common criminal violation of 26 U.S.C. §7206 and 7207 and a civil violation of 26 U.S.C. §7434 for those who file them. Our Member Agreement requires Members to prevent these false returns from being filed in the first place and also calls for correcting all those that are filed so that they don't erroneously become connected to the "trade or business" (OFFSITE LINK) franchise that is codified within Internal Revenue Code Subtitles A and C.

4.10.  PRIVACY AGREEMENT

The most important thing you can do to defend your sovereignty is to defend your privacy.  The only thing the government can lawfully keep records on are its own agents, employees, officers, benefit recipients, and contractors without violating your Fourth Amendment right of privacy.  In order to restore your privacy, you must systematically disconnect yourself from all of these franchises and continually emphasize nonparticipation whenever you provide information to third parties about yourself.  This form protects your privacy from abuses and violations of law by government, private industry, and regulators by:

  1. Preventing the illegal enforcement of government franchises against non-parties and restoring your character as a private person instead of a "public officer".

  2. Preventing compelled or illegal use or disclosure of public property such as Social Security Cards and Social Security Numbers.  Click here for details.

  3. Preventing disclosure of personal information to government or regulatory agencies by disconnecting you from public benefits and franchises, thereby causing you to withdraw consent to maintain or disclose records or information about you pursuant to 5 U.S.C. §552a(b).

  4. Creating an anti-franchise franchise of your own whereby information about you is YOUR property and not that of the recipient and makes recipients of your personal information personally liable for any and all disclosures to third parties that are not expressly authorized IN WRITING.

  5. Preventing the filing of Currency Transaction Reports (CTR) and Suspicious Activity Reports (SAR) against persons not engaged in the "trade or business" franchise.

  6. Educating regulators and compliance people in the government and private industry about the limitations upon their authority to disclose or share with third parties records about a person who does not participate in franchises.  Public servants who regulate and supervise financial institutions, public entities, and federal franchises typically misrepresent the requirements of the law and illegally enforce these franchises against nonparticipants by compelling disclosure to them of information that is NOT public and does not relate to activities of "public officers" or agents of the government.

Attach this form to all financial, account, government, and medical forms to ensure your privacy is protected and that you do not become the unlawful subject of any financial transaction report.  If you don't use this form, you could become the target of unlawful government enforcement and/or be prosecuted for "structuring" (31 U.S.C. §5324) or money laundering (18 U.S.C. §1956) if someone in the government wants to make trouble for those who refuse to participate in federal franchises.

4.15.  FEDERAL PLEADING/MOTION/PETITION ATTACHMENT

Federal district and circuit courts are legislative franchise courts established pursuant to Article IV, Section 3, Clause 2 of the United States Constitution, not pursuant to Article III.  They are "property courts" and not "justice courts" that mainly administer, protect, and expand federal franchises and other property.  If you aren't very careful, any attempt to petition such a court can cause the court or your government opponent to abuse presumption to make you into government property or a custodian over government property by connecting you to franchises and offices in the government against your will and thereby enslaving you.  Attach this form to every motion, petition, or pleading you file in federal court so that you can prevent all the following important games and obstruction of justice by the U.S. Attorney and the de facto judge:

  1. The default false presumption that you have a domicile on federal territory and therefore participate in their protection franchise and have a duty to pay for said protection.

  2. The default false presumption that you are a statutory "U.S. citizen" pursuant to 8 U.S.C. §1401 subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of Congress.

  3. Prejudicial presumptions about the meaning of specific "words of art".

  4. Prejudicial presumptions that you are a "taxpayer" subject to the I.R.C.

  5. Prejudicial presumptions about the use of Taxpayer Identification Numbers by the U.S. attorney.

  6. The de facto magistrate assuming you consent to their jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. §636, which is mandatory if heard by a magistrate.  This form establishes that you have NO DELEGATED AUTHORITY to consent to their jurisdiction.

  7. The judge or U.S. Attorney from gaining an advantage by ignoring or omitting to address any objection or factual statement you make by invoking F.R.Civ.P. 8(b)(6).

4.17.  THE GOVERNMENT "BENEFITS" SCAM

Those who refuse to accept government franchises and services and lawfully refuse to pay for these services are sometimes illegally prosecuted by zealous but criminal government attorneys for "willful failure to file" under 26 U.S.C. §7203 and "tax evasion" under 26 U.S.C. §7201.  The government's offense in these cases is like a broken record:

"Mr./Ms. __________ accepts the 'benefits' of living in this country but refuses to pay his/her 'fair share'.  He/she is a LEECH and you ought to hang him!"

For an example of the above such rhetoric from an actual criminal tax case, Click Here (OFFSITE LINK).

Well, this memorandum proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that all such rhetoric is not only FALSE, FRAUDULENT, and RIDICULOUS, but constitutes a criminal conspiracy against your constitutionally guaranteed rights.  You have a constitutionally protected right to NOT contract with or do business with the government protected by Article 1, Section 10 of the Constitution.  The government is just like any other corporation or business and the only service it provides is "protection".  Those who are "customers" of this protection and social insurance service must voluntarily choose a domicile within the jurisdiction of the government and are then called  "U.S. citizens", "U.S. residents", or "U.S. persons".  When the "protection service" provided by government is ineffective, wasteful, inefficient, and/or actually harmful to us or our family, we always have the right to "fire the bastards" and cease to be "customers".  The Declaration of Independence, in fact, makes it our DUTY to pursue "better safeguards for our future security".  Those who do this are called "nonresidents", "nonresident aliens", and "transient foreigners".  Use this pamphlet as a powerful defense in court against such bogus charges.

5.2.  WHAT PASTORS AND CLERGY NEED TO KNOW ABOUT GOVERNMENT AND TAXATION COURSE

The Bible says that the judgment of God BEGINS in God's house, which is the church.  Before we as believers can go out and proclaim Truth to the rest of the world, we need to have unity about Truth within our own churches and families.

"For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?"
[1 Peter 4:17, Bible, NKJV]

This training course identifies most of the major fallacies and untruths being taught mainly in government "privileged" (e.g. 501(c )(3) "Exempt") churches across America relating to the biblical view of both government and taxation.  You can use these materials to educate and admonish pastors, clergy, and members of your congregation who are misleading and thereby hurting brothers and sisters at your church. 

"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God [including pastors] may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work."
[2 Tim. 3:16-17, Bible, NKJV]

"My brethren, let not many of you become teachers [or pastors], knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment."
[James 3:11, Bible, NKJV]

Please be diplomatic and helpful if you decide to give this to your pastor.  Most pastors are overwhelmed and overworked, and may see you as part of the problem instead of the solution if you dump this on them in a critical rather than constructive manner.  You might even want to schedule a private meeting with your pastor to present this during the middle of the week, which is slow, instead of forcing him to read it.  Many Pastors enjoy interaction and "the people touch" more than impersonal studying of materials emailed to them.  Meet them where they are at, just like Jesus did.  As you expose these materials to them, please try not to embarrass clergy in front of either their coworkers or parishoners, but admonish them privately the first time.  The goal is to win and disciple and not alienate or persecute clergy.   Nevertheless, the Truth must be told in love and repeated politely and forcefully.  You may even want to volunteer to educate the whole church staff on the subject after you meet with the Pastor.  Requires free Adobe Acrobat Reader version 5.0 or later.

5.6.  PETE HENDRICKSON INTERVIEWS

These interviews provide an excellent perspective on the income tax fraud.  We caution our readers of the following differences of opinion that we have with Pete Hendrickson's approach:

  1. Pete Hendrickson's approach to getting refunds of earnings unlawfully withheld against his wishes and without a VOLUNTARY W-4 is to submit IRS form 1040.  We disagree with this approach, and instead use the 1040NR for such a case so that we are not mistaken by the courts and the IRS as a statutory "U.S. citizen" or "resident" who has a domicile in the District of Columbia.

  2. Several have contacted Pete about this almost singular defect in his approach.  Some have pointed to the IRS Document 7130, which says that IRS form 1040 is only for "U.S. citizens and residents".  They have also pointed out to him the definition of "individual" which appears at the top of IRS form 1040 found in 26 CFR §1.1441-1(c )(3), which is defined as an "alien" or "nonresident alien".  Pete agrees that those domiciled in states of the Union are all "  nonresident aliens".  However, he isn't willing to translate this understanding of the I.R.C. into practice by filing the correct form, the 1040NR form, when he asks for a refund, and we believe this is a grave mistake. 

  3. Anyone who starts out as a "nonresident alien" and who files an IRS form 1040 is making an "election" to be treated as a "U.S. person" and a "resident alien" pursuant to 26 U.S.C. §6013(g) and (h) and 26 U.S.C. §7701(b)(4)(B).  This is a very dangerous way to jeopardize your sovereignty and waive sovereign immunity pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1603(b)(3). Click here and read sections 11, 14.4, and 14.5 for details on how this "election" works.

  4. Pete suggests attaching IRS form 4852 to correct false W-2 forms.  However, those filing IRS Form 1040NR cannot use this form.  The top of the Form 4852 says “Attach to form 1040, 1040A, 1040-EZ, or 1040X.”   Form 1040NR is not included in the list, so obviously, this is a “resident alien” form available only to those with a domicile on federal territory and therefore whom the government has jurisdiction over to penalize.  We therefore suggest either using form W-2C or making your own substitute form in the following article on our website:

      Correcting Erroneous IRS Form W-2’s, Form #04.006

      http://sedm.org/Forms/FormIndex.htm

  5. We therefore strongly discourage our Members or readers from filing IRS form 1040's as Pete suggests.  The ONLY form they can file to get a refund and still remain members is either an Amended IRS Form 1040NR, or our Federal Nonresident Nonstatutory Claim for Return of Funds Unlawfully Paid to the Government, Form #15.001.  The reasoning behind this is exhaustively described in the following memorandum of law:

      Nonresident Alien Position, Form #05.020
      http://sedm.org/Forms/FormIndex.htm

For details on the above, and for an official policy statement about our perspective towards Mr. Hendrickson's approach read the following:

Policy Document: Pete Hendrickson's "Trade or Business" Approach, Form #08.003

On a more positive note, we admire Pete Hendrickson's research for the most part, with the singular exception above, as well as his brave efforts to inform the American public on his Lost Horizons website of the deliberate misapplication of the Internal Revenue Code by private employers and the government.  Of all the freedom researchers we know of, he has come closer to the truth about the income tax than anyone else to date, except possibly us, of course.  We wouldn't have posted a link to his work here if he didn't have important or valuable information to offer our Members.

This document was sent to us by one of our readers.  Our readers, who are all "nontaxpayers" have been complaining because the IRS has all these publications for "taxpayers", but nothing for "nontaxpayers".  We have been looking for such a publication for quite some time to no avail, and every time we ask the IRS for it, they don't know what to tell us.  Well, your wait is over, folks and the truth is finally on paper.  Now there are two publications: one for "taxpayers" and one for "nontaxpayers".  Take your pick based on your status.  You can find the original IRS Publication 1: Your Rights as a Taxpayer at the address below if you would like to compare:

7.3.  UNLICENSED PRACTICE OF LAW RESOURCES

The legal profession and the government are NOT there to protect or defend your rights and your sovereignty.  They are there manufacture enough ignorance in you in the public fool system to facilitate tricking you into surrendering your sovereignty to them. Consequently, you can't rely on a licensed attorney to do the job you hired him to do in court and you must take on this task yourself if you expect to be free and sovereign.  Thomas Jefferson said:

"When the people fear the government, you have tyranny.  When the government fears the people, you have liberty".

Learning the law and litigating in court yourself is the best way to keep the government in fear and to preserve your own liberty.  This section lists resources for those who want to practice law without a license from what has rapidly become a corrupted government.  The license is what muzzles attorneys in the courtroom from speaking and litigating the truth in open court.  This silencing of dissent by the government through " privilege induced slavery" is what perpetuates the many frauds documented on this website.  Below are some valuable resources for those who wish to litigate without the aid of a whore licensed by the government Beast (Rev. 19:19) to destroy your rights.

7.4.  ANTI-GOVERNMENT MOVEMENT HANDBOOK

This ministry or website is not anti-government but pro SELF-government. Our enemy is not any one specific person or group of people, but instead is ignorance, presumption, unlawful behavior, unequal protection, and government verbicide designed to destroy the separation of powers.  People have the right to decide how or if they want to be governed, and they have an inherent right to DESTROY all their rights by delegating ALL of them to a government if they can be DUPED into doing this using "private law" disguised to "look" like "public law" by covetous public servants.  However, those of us who want to retain ALL of our inalienable rights and delegate NONE and thereby be sovereign and entirely self-governing ought to have that right respected by the government.  This publication of the National Center for State Courts describes tactics used by state judges in countering those litigating in a state court in defense of their sovereignty.  The group of self-serving judges, if they had been honest, should have called this book the "OFFICIAL ANTI SELF-GOVERNMENT GUIDEBOOK FOR THE IMPERIAL JUDICIARY".  Before you do such thing as file a Petition for Declaratory Judgment relating to your citizenship, for instance, you should read this document.  This is an OFFSITE LINK and we are not responsible for the content:

7.5.  MEMORANDUMS OF LAW

We have prepared several authoritative Memorandums of Law on a few key legal subjects.  A Memorandum of Law is an academic treatise on a legal subject which can be attached to legal pleadings, correspondence, and used during litigation in order to prove a point.  Memorandums of Law are very commonly called for as attachments in federal courts under the local rules of most federal courts.  You can find the complete listing of Memorandums of Law on our Forms page.  Below is a table listing them individually.  Click on the form number to view.  Each of the memorandums are in Adobe Acrobat 5.0 format.  You will need the latest free reader to view which you can download by clicking here.

8.  RESOURCES TO REBUT GOVERNMENT, LEGAL, AND TAX PROFESSION DECEPTION AND FALSE PROPAGANDA

“Be diligent to [investigate and expose the truth for yourself and thereby] present yourself [and the public servants who are your fiduciaries and stewards under the Constitution] approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word [and the deeds] of truth.  But shun profane babblings [government propaganda, tyranny, and usurpation] for they will increase to more ungodliness.  And their message [and their harmful affects] will spread like cancer [to destroy our society and great Republic].” 
[2 Tim. 2:15-17, Bible, NKJV]

8.1.  FLAWED TAX ARGUMENTS TO AVOID

There are many different false and flawed arguments you will read about on the Internet relating to freedom and sovereignty.  The number of ways to be simply WRONG is endless, in fact.  This pamphlet describes most of the major arguments you will see and explains why they are false and should be avoided, and especially within a litigation context.  This is designed to keep you out of trouble with the law, the IRS, and the government.  If you are a provider of information about taxation and sovereignty, this information might also help prevent you from being shut down with an injunction for being involved in "false commercial speech".

8.2.  MEANING OF THE WORDS "INCLUDES" and "INCLUDING"

A very popular technique used by the IRS and many politicians is to abuse the word "includes" as a way to extend definitions within the Internal Revenue Code beyond what is clearly defined.  You will see this argument used in many different internet forums, on the IRS website, and even in the Congressional Research Service report " Frequently Asked Questions Concerning the Federal Income Tax", Form #08.006".  Abuse of this argument by the government represents "false commercial speech" for which politicians and IRS employees should be promptly prosecuted, because it is used primarily to increase revenues from illegal enforcement of the federal income tax.  Understanding how to debunk this fraudulent argument is important for the freedom minded individual and will probably be useful to you at your next IRS audit as well. This short white paper entitled "Meaning of the words 'includes' and 'including'" very thoroughly debunks the misapplication of the word "includes" by your favorite three letter agency and explains why its abuse is a violation of due process (OFFSITE LINK) which unconstitutionally expands federal jurisdiction beyond the clear limits reflected in the United States Constitution.  This document is provided by a third party and we are not responsible for the content.

8.3.  REBUTTED VERSION OF THE IRS PAMPHLET "The Truth About Frivolous Tax Arguments"

This document is a rebuttal to an IRS propaganda publication entitled "The Truth About Frivolous Tax Arguments".  You can view the original IRS pamphlet on the IRS website at:

The unrebutted IRS version of the pamphlet is frequently cited in both IRS and state tax notices and letters, and is often also cited even by Congressmen.  Most of the claims in the pamphlet are incorrect and deliberately deceptive.  This and other government propaganda are rebutted in Chapter 8 of the Great IRS Hoa, Form #11.302.  We encourage you to send a copy of the rebutted pamphlet to your Congressman and demand a rebuttal of our rebuttal.  You may also wish to send this document with your response to an IRS notice, letter, or summons.  The questions at the end of the pamphlet will have any IRS agent at a collection due process hearing or audit squirming, and eventually fighting to exit stage left and quickly as possible.  GO GET'EM!

Below is a link to the rebutted pamphlet. This document is provided by a third party and we are not responsible for its content.
