    For the Dazed, Confused, and Frustrated Among Us

    Extended Version

    (Mortgages, Criminal Defense, Etc.)

    1. There are many kinds of laws. Laws pertain to many different kinds of

    venues.

    2. The laws we most often deal with are all statutory Territorial laws

    established by the US Congress or the State Legislatures. (Due to the Actof 1871 and various Acts of skullduggery since then, there are no real States

    functioning (except those that have been re-inhabited) and Territorial

    otherwise known as local law or Roman Civil Law, aka, lex fori is what

    we are living under, instead of the Common Law owed to us and guaranteed

    by the first organic Constitution for the united States of America. All the

    States you deal with everyday are franchises of the US Corporation---

    franchises like your local McDonalds burger joint is a franchise of

    McDonalds Corporation---and having exactly the same status in law. When

    the United States of America acts as a Corporator it lays down any claim

    to act with sovereignty and becomes just another corporation. See 22 USC

    286(c).

    3. There are also several international venues, including Civil Maritime,

    International Admiralty, and International Commerce.

    4. These international venues derive from the ancient Law Merchant as it was

    developed and applied to conduct business internationally at sea and on land.

    5. Over many years a body of International Commercial Law has developed,

    and it has been codified.

    6. This means that the Law has been drafted, argued over, tested, passed into

    Law--- several hundred years ago for many of the laws in international

    venues---and then it has been administratively interpreted and codified.

    That means it has been given to bureaucrats to implement, which they do by

    creating definitions and detailing how the Law is to be applied and what it

    requires.

    7. The Uniform Commercial Code implements International Commercial Law.

    8. Individual nations decide whether or not they will adopt the Uniform

    Commercial Code and use it for the conduct of business domestically---

    meaning at home as well as internationally.

    9. The United States of America adopted the Uniform Commercial Code in the

    mid-1960s, and ever since, it has set the definitions and standards for

    operations that business uses both inside and outside the US States---all 57

    of them.

    [President Obama was right about there being 57 States---- 50 Domestic

    States and 7 Insular States. The Insular States include the District of

    Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, etc., and technically, they, not the 50

    Domestic States, are recognized as the United States of America, a British

    Commonwealth member of the United Nations, thanks to Puerto Rico. The

  • 7/31/2019 For the Dazed Final

    50 Domestic States are properly identified as The United States of America,

    a washed-up, has-been Republic that is merely represented by the United

    States of America. Not surprisingly, each entity has a separate charter

    known as a Constitution, and these are equally semantically confused.

    There is the first, original organic document, The Constitution for the unitedStates of America, and there is the second document known as the

    Constitution of the United States of America. On top of these two entities,

    theres a giant, horribly managed corporation called the US Corporation,

    which is owned by the Vatican and managed by Great Britain, and its By-

    Laws are also called a Constitution, only this time it is simply the United

    States Constitution. It is this third Constitution that the US Senators and

    House Representatives and the US President all take their Oath of Office to--

    they are elected Officers of the US Corporation.]

    10. Easy Proof 101: The Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the

    flag of the United States of America (the seven Insular States) and to the

    Republic for which it stands (the 50 Domestic States which the United States

    of America represents). Apparently, we are too stupid to represent

    ourselves. The treasonous Rump Congress overthrew the national

    Republic with the Reconstruction Acts and the 14

    th

    Amendment followingthe Civil War. An equally treasonous Governors Conference overthrew the

    50 State Republics (March 9, 1933) by pledging the credit of their

    States and the citizenry thereof as voluntary adjuncts to the bankruptcy of

    the United States of America--- a bankruptcy that is still ongoing as the

    international bankers seek to wring every penny out of us and establish

    bogus claims against our private property in a feeding frenzy of despicable

    corruption and greed.

    11. At some point, everyone will wake up and notice that neither the Rump

    Congress [39th] nor the Conference of Governors had any authority

    whatsoever to do what they did in our names. At some point also, we will

    all notice that the international bankers are rapingus. It may occur to some

    sharp tool in the American Shed to say, Hey, wait a minute, I, personally,

    never heard this story. None of these claims against my person, my credit,

    and my private property were ever disclosed or authorized by ME. I didnt

    pledge my credit. I didnt sign up to be a bond slave for a Vatican-owned

    corporation.

    12. Ah, but, back to the UCC and Tim Turner, and all the confusion

    surrounding the UCC-1 Financing Statement that people signed as part of his

    Freedom Documents package and fears that signing that and placing a

    claim against the Strawman trust sucks people into some terrible

    jurisdiction or exposes them to attack: it does NOT.

    13. The UCC-1 and the UCC in general are not the problem.

    14. President Turner was exactly right about the UCC-1. You, the living,

    breathing man or woman (who are always describedin Law in the form of,

    for example, Mary Ann of the Family Boswell , nevernamed) will---once

    you recoup your legal standing and your true political status--- need to file a

    UCC-1 Financing Statement against the so-called Strawman. President

    Turner just got things a little out of order and made an honest mistake. He

    assumed that the debts of the Strawman are the same as the legitimate

    debts people have---and they are not. As a result, he had people sign aSecurity Agreement agreeing to accept and be responsible for the debts of

    the Strawman---and that is where the real rub is. Everyone who signed

    needs to rescind their signature and agreement on that document pronto.

    15. What is the mysterious Strawman? Its called an Inferior Roman Trust,

    or a cestui que vie trust, or, whats popular with the lawyers: a constructive

    estate trust----sounds better----but they all mean the same thing: youve

    been declared legally dead, and your estate---your home, land, bank

    accounts, etc., have all been transferred to the ownership of theStrawman---aka, federal franchise cestui que vie trust, aka, constructive

    estate trust. HE is always named using Capitis Dominutio Maxima

    conventions--- all capital letters----and as any legal style manual will reveal,

    these conventions are only used to name (1) corporate entities, and (2) dead

    people. Really dead people.

    MARY ANN BOSWELL is presumed to be the beneficiary and heir ofMary Ann Boswell, which is the True Trust Name of Mary Ann of the

    Family Boswell. See? Thats why its an Inferior trust--- inferior to your

    True Trust---and infinitely inferior to Mary Ann of the Family Boswell, who

    is a sovereign and peaceful inhabitant of the Several Domestic States, a

    natural person whose political status is described as that of an American

    State National, and who is not a citizen or a resident at all, and who is,

    moreover, owed the Common Law and every protection of the organic

    Constitution for the united States of America by the elected Trustees, whoare otherwise acting in flagrant Breach of Trust.

    16. How has Mary Ann of the Family Boswell, a sovereign celebrated

    throughout the world, been reduced to peonage? Its important to

    understand how the agents of the United States of America and the US

    Corporation have contrived to do this to you.

    Step One--- they importune a Certificate of Live Birth from your Mother

    under conditions of non-disclosure, which she unwittingly signs merely

    as an Informant---thereby also unwittingly creating a trust, handing

    legal title toyou to the government, and reducing you to the status of a

  • 7/31/2019 For the Dazed Final

    6/35

    6

    ward of the State. This, and Marriage Licenses is the way that the

    government gains control of such issues as custody, child support

    payments, required vaccinations and so forth----the parents have in

    ignorance granted the state trusteeship over their child.

    Step Two. The state wastes no time in registering the child as a US

    vessel in the Merchant Marine Service, and offering securities, bonds,

    based on the value of the vessel. The banks buy these bonds known as

    CUSPD or CUSIP (depending on who is selling them) bonds, thus

    acquiring a financial interest in the vessel.

    Step Three. The teenager is importuned to apply for a Social Security

    Number, told that this is a requirement of employment (only federal

    employment, it turns out) and that they cant be employed or have a job

    or earn a living without one. So they are coerced and apply under duress.

    The government misrepresents this as a voluntary act, and claims that

    the teenager has agreed to enter federal jurisdiction and accept US

    citizenship in exchange for the benefit of Social Security.

    ***Today, the state tries to make things easy on itself by forcing the

    Mother to sign both the Certificate of Live Birth AND an application for

    a Social Security Number for her child. They dont want people to

    have any say in their own lives and prey upon women still groggy from

    childbirth and little babies. Thats the ilk of people you are dealing

    with.***

    Step Four. When the Social Security Number is issued, the US vessel

    disappears like magic---its corpus is rolled over into the newly created

    cestui que vie trust, and vessel is presumed lost at sea.

    This all sounds insane until you realize that the principle jurisdiction that

    the federal government has is jurisdiction over navigable inland waters

    and on the high seas; all these ridiculous pretenses about you being a

    US vessel are used to establish federal jurisdiction over you and allow

    the legal presumption that you are (at any given time and at theirconvenience) an international vessel in Civil Maritime jurisdiction or a

    national vessel in International Admiralty jurisdiction. Either way, its

    a venally self-interested semantic deceit on the part of the government

    that is easy to refute once you realize this whole web of deceit exists.

    Step Five. All these games mean that the bonds the bankers bought

    (which were secured by the US vessel ) are suddenly withoutbacking, so the bankers go to court and establish a maritime salvage lien

    against the estate of the jolly MARY ANN BOSWELL (vessels are

    named with all caps italicized) and have her declared dead, presumed

    lost at sea.

    This step of this vicious charade destroys your legal standing. From the

    standpoint of the courts from then on, you are a ghost. You cannot beheard in a court of law. The court has to interpret you as someone or

    something other than Mary Ann Boswell---for instance, as the

    Master of the missing vessel, or as the Withholding Agent of the

    cestui que vie trust.

    Please note: The federal trust is a tax payer. You are not. In these and in

    all other federal statutory actions taken---mortgage suits, IRS claims, etc.,

    the plaintiff suing you will in fact name the federal cestui que vie trust,

    because the trust owns everything you think you own. The federal trust

    has been presumed to be your beneficiary and has claimed title to all your

    property. No point in suing you, because you dont own anything.

    Unfortunately, the trust appears to have the same name as you---except

    for being in capital letters, so acting in good faith and ignorance, living

    people answer the complaint raised against the federal trust, and that

    allows the court to presume that you, the living man or woman, are

    acting in a collective entity agreement and that you are offering to bethe primary party responsible for the federal trusts debts, etc. This

    particular doctrine arises from Braswell v. United States, and results in

    what the courts call the Collective Entity or sometimes, Collective

    Agency Rule.

    While you are rebutting all the other nonsense these monsters have

    alleged about you, be sure to state that you do not act as a collectiveentity with any corporate entity and you do not consent to the

    transaction of a security interest. That is, you are not responsible for the

    federal trusts debts and you dont agree to let the court steal your

    money.

    When your original given name loses legal standing as a result of

    being declared dead, presumed lost at sea, you lose your ability totake any action at law and make it stick: you are dead, and until

    you overcome that judgment by establishing that you are alive,

    nothing that you can say or do holds water. You are helpless, utterly

    at the mercy of the court---precisely where the lawyers and

    politicians and bankers want you to be.

    17. How, then, do you re-establish that you are alive? You use an ancient legal

    document approved by the Roman Catholic Church under Ecclesiastical

    Law, known as an Ecclesiastical Deed Poll which is sealed in blood with

    your thumbprint---no signature at all, and you back it up with a Statement of

    Identity signed and sealed (thumbprint in red ink) by two Witnesses attesting

  • 7/31/2019 For the Dazed Final

    9/35

    9

    that they know you and your family and that you are a person of good

    standing and character.

    These two documents provide irrefutable proof that Mary Ann of the

    Family Boswell is still alive---and they restore your standing at Law,

    meaning that you can now go forward and kick legal rump and take all the

    other actions you need to take to restore your political status and reclaim

    your property. Assuming that you use the versions of the documents

    included with this message, the EDP will also demand (1) dissolution of the

    cestui que vie trusts entered in your name, (2) recognition of your standing as

    the sole and primary beneficiary of these trusts, (3) recognition of the

    Republic and the Common Law government you are owed.

    18.How do you restore your political status? ---by invoking the Universal

    Right of Self-Declaration, a right guaranteed by UN treaties the United

    States of America signed in a weak moment in 1948.

    First Step. You rescind any and all signatures and statements seeming toaccept or claim US citizenship or otherwise seeming to bind you to

    contracts with the US Corporation, ab initio, for fraud and non-disclosure.

    File a simple Affidavit stating this, signed by two Witnesses in the

    Miscellaneous File of the local Recorders Office and send copies via

    Certified Return Receipt Requested US Mail to the US Secretary of State,

    US Secretary of the Treasury, State Governor, State Secretary of State, State

    Attorney General, and any other office you have to deal with.

    [There have been elaborate concerns about using the US Postal Service in

    the past, claims that only Registered Mail are private, etc., but a public

    service offered by a private company under conditions of monopoly is a gift

    and you can do what you like with a gift.]

    10/35

    10

    Save the receipts from the mailing, collect the return cards, and put the

    evidence that you have given Notice in a safe place. At the same time by the

    same process, you should prepare and have witnessed and give Notice of aDeclaration of Exile formally exiting the United States of America and its

    jurisdiction, and a Declaration of Residency placing your True Trust (not

    you the living man or woman, but your True Trust Mary Ann Boswell)

    in original jurisdiction on the land of The United States of America.

    19. If you want to be sure that no issue of insufficient Notice can be raised, run

    a small ad three times in the Legal Notices section of the local paper(s),

    stating that you are rescinding all signatures on all statements and contracts

    or presumed contracts ever entered into with the United States of America,

    the US Corporation, or any of their corporate municipal franchises known as

    States, for fraud and non-disclosure, that you have exiled from the United

    States of America, and Declared the permanent residency of your True Trust

    in original jurisdiction on the land of The United States of America.

    [****Living people, the actual men and women who are American State

    Nationals, dont reside ---they inhabit the land.****]

    That gets rid of any basis for a court to presume that the numerous adhesion

    contracts youve unwittingly entered into are valid contracts, and gives you a

    basis to prove that you have exiled from federal jurisdiction; it also places

    your True Trust safely and officially in original jurisdiction, where the rats

    cannot lay claim to it again or presume maritime jurisdictions apply.

    20.At the same time, include a formal Affidavit to the effect that you were

    misinformed and coerced into signing up for a Social Security Number and

    falsely told that it was a general condition of employment without which you

  • 7/31/2019 For the Dazed Final

    11/35

    11

    could not work and earn a living. Also state that that misapprehension was

    the motivation for your action and that you did not willingly seek or consider

    participation in Social Security any benefit, but rather that you considered it

    an onerous extra tax that sopped up nearly 8% of your gross income (the

    actual tax is nearly 16%, 8% from you, 8% from your employer.) andremoved it from you without any payment of interest to you. This destroys

    the legal presumption that you voluntarily sought benefit and received the

    benefits of this program in consideration for signing away your

    Constitutional rights, your natural political status, and all your private

    property in an undisclosed agreement to accept US citizenship and

    allow ownership of your property to be transferred to the federal cestui

    que vie trusts as a result.

    21. Make no mistake, youve been financially and legally defrauded,

    dispossessed, demeaned, sacked, burned, raped, and hung out on the dung

    pile to dry by the United States of America and the US Corporation.

    Sustained outrage and effort is called for to set your own house in order, and

    lay claim to your own property.

    22. How? Well, youve been the victim of a reverse trust scheme. It started

    when your Mother unwittingly signed you over to the tender mercies of the

    government. She was the donor creating the trust. The government or

    rather, the entity representing the government that you are actually owed,

    was the trustee. You were the beneficiary. But, the rats connived to turn

    things around and reverse things--- thanks to their undisclosed contracts

    and semantic deceits and your own ignorance, you were deemed to have

    voluntarily donated your credit, your private property, your labor and

    everything else to the federal trusts created using your name, and the

    government and the governments creditors (banks) named themselves the

    happy beneficiaries of all your voluntary goodwill and largesse. So,

    Bubba, now, having reclaimed your legal standing and your rightful political

    status, its time for you to do unto them what they have done to you.

  • 7/31/2019 For the Dazed Final

    12/35

    23. Your True Trust, Mary Ann Boswell, outguns their puny and literally

    inferior franchise trust. By Canon of Law #2056, any judge or trustee or

    administrator who doesnt IMMEDIATELY dissolve the cestui que vie trustsupon your Claim of Life and demand, is guilty of willful crime. And, as

    everything that ought to have been done, must appear as if having been

    done---it really doesnt matter whether they do anything at all. Youve

    proven your competence and standing and made the demand by presenting

    them with a properly worded Ecclesiastical Deed Poll. They are stuck,

    skewered on their own Rules of Court and principles of Law. From now on,

    any claim they make is as dead at Law as you were when you began this

    process.

    24.Just to drive the proverbial knife in and twist it, follow up the Ecclesiastical

    Deed Poll with full Due Process----that means, you send them a follow up

    Ecclesiastical Notice of Dishonor if they dont reply and confirm that they

    have dissolved the Inferior Trusts, give them 10 more days to reply, then

    send them an Ecclesiastical Notice of Protest for Non-Acceptance---astatement noting that they still havent replied and giving them another ten

    days, and after that, send them a notice of formal Judgment, stating that all

    elements of the Ecclesiastical Deed Poll (which includes demand to dissolve

    the federal trusts and return the property to the True Trust and which names

    the living man or woman as the Beneficiary) have been acquiesced to by all

    parties concerned and all right and claim to the property of MARY ANN

    BOSWELL is now transferred to the True Trust Mary Ann Boswell.

    25.Take this Judgment to the local Recorders Office and claim over the

    franchise trusts title to your property, by providing a copy of the EDP,

    Dishonor, Non-Acceptance, and Judgment, along with an Affidavit signed

    by two Witnesses, stating that the property described, blah, blah, blah, is

  • 7/31/2019 For the Dazed Final

    13/35

    13

    held by Mary Ann Boswell in True Trust in original jurisdiction on the land

    without encumbrance, claim, or tenancy agreement of any kind.

    26. This is just the beginning. It took them the better part of 80 years to lay all

    these traps and make all these bogus claims. Expect that it is going to take

    you some time to get your personal house in order and more time to clean

    the rats out of Washington--- but know this: you have everything you need,

    all the power, and all the basic insight necessary---to take these con artists

    and wring them dry. You can, and you must, make the Law your friend and

    familiar, and use it. Dont think that you can hire a lawyer to do it for you.

    All lawyers are members of the Bar Association and officers of the courts;

    they are part of the problem, not the solution.

    27. Finally getting back to Tim Turner and the whole UCC-1 issue. You can

    see now why filing the UCC-1 without first having re-established legal

    standing as a living man or woman would be a useless gesture; TT had

    things a bit out of order, but was headed in the right direction. You can also,

    hopefully see that you are an inhabitant of, literally, a different country than

    the United States of America. You are an American State National living in

    a Domestic State. They are all US citizens living like parasites on the land

    of the Domestic States. US citizens are actually, literally, legally--

    foreigners on our turf. So it makes sense that when you file a claim against

    a US citizen (the corporate franchise cestui que vie trust that has been

    abusing your NAME is considered a person and a US citizen under the

    Diversity of Citizenship Clause ---Section 1332(c) of Title 28 of Federal

    Code) you have to file an internationally viable claim, a UCC-1, andadvance your status as a Secured Third Party Creditor, but not just any

    secured Third Party----you are the PRIMARY Beneficiary, and you enjoy

    the first and unique rights of salvage and unassailable claim to everything

    that has been stolen from you.

  • 7/31/2019 For the Dazed Final

    28. Another thing that TT has right---- dont get mad. Get even. Bind together

    and kick these rotten lawyers and undeclared Foreign Agents and crooked

    bankers right off the Continental Shelf. Keep at it, day after day, and yearafter year. Take what youve learned and for Gods sake, stop paying

    Federal Income Taxes. As the name should suggest, you have no Federal

    income, and as you are not in a collective entity relationship with the

    Strawman trust operated by the Department of the Treasury of Puerto Rico,

    you are not its Withholding Agent. You are not a Taxpayer and you

    never were. You, the living man or woman, are totally, absolutely EXEMPT

    from LEVY, and you always have been.

    Just stop filing, and if the IRS comes around, give that agent your best Clint

    Eastwood stare, and say, I am not a taxpayer. I am not a US citizen. I

    have no federal income. I do not act as a withholding agent for any US

    citizen living in Puerto Rico or elsewhere. I am not in a collective entity

    relationship with any federal trust or any other legal fiction of any kind. I

    have never and will never be responsible for importing any revenue to

    Puerto Rico. And you are standing on posted private property harassing

    someone you have no right to even speak to.

    If they keep at it, insist that they put everything they want to say in writing,

    and answer everything they ask by asking them pointed questions sent by

    Certified Return Receipt Requested Mail. Never ignore anything the IRS

    sends you, always answer----with pointed questions regarding their

    jurisdiction and definitions of income and taxpayer, etc. Never take

    their suggestions. Never admit or allow any suggestion that you are ataxpayer or a client of the IRS.

    [One of their favorite tricks is to send people exit surveys asking them to

    rate the service they have received from the IRS---if the living man or

  • 7/31/2019 For the Dazed Final

    15/35

    15

    woman answers by filling out the survey, they have just admitted to being a

    client of the IRS. If they dont return an answer and round file the survey,

    they are in dishonor because they have ignored an offer of exchange. The

    correct response is to send back a note (via Certified Mail, Return Receipt

    Requested) informing them that you arent a client of the Internal RevenueService, and would they please remove your name from their list?

    Do you see how sneaky and duplicitous these people are? You can take

    nothing for granted. Even a postcard sent to you by an agent on vacation

    in Hawaii has to be responded to or you can be accused of evasion. You

    must carefully consider every correspondence you receive from them and

    never, ever agree to talk to them. Always insist that everything be addressedto you in writing and use your wits to assess their every move. If you get

    called in on a subpoena spend the hundred bucks to take along a professional

    recording secretary to record and transcribe every word of the conversation.

    Its worth it just to watch the agents squirm. You have no reason to talk to

    them and they have no reason to talk to you. Make it stick, and if they ask

    you anything you dont want to answer or that you are unsure of how to

    answer, do not hesitate to take the protection of the 5th Amendment. It is not

    an admission of guilt.

    If they subpoena your financial records from the banks, etc., realize that they

    already have access to this information anyway, because they work for the

    banks as a collection agency.

    (See Title 5 of the Federal Code and observe that the Secretary of the

    Treasury (of Puerto Rico) was named by the Creditors (banks) as their

    Bankruptcy Trustee as part of the ongoing fraudulently imposed

    bankruptcy of The United States of America. Timothy Geithner is the

    Secretary of the Treasury of Puerto Rico. The rats just conveniently leave off

  • 7/31/2019 For the Dazed Final

    16/35

    16

    the of Puerto Rico part of it, or youd figure out the con and roast them,

    tails and all.)

    Let them look all they like at your financial records. You have nothing to

    hide. As American State National living and working exclusively in one of

    the Domestic States, you operate exclusively in the private sector and your

    earnings are legally defined as property----private property, not income.

    Only corporate entities accrue income. Living people accrue property.

    Coppage v. Kansas is one of the key US Supreme Court cases that discusses

    this fine point.

    Never send a Petition to the US Tax Court. THINK, people! Submitting a

    petition grants them jurisdiction where they have NONE otherwise. Stand

    on your little flat feet and send the Tax Court a reply, telling them you are an

    American State National, not a taxpayer, not responsible for any excise taxes

    this--- if you dontstop filing and paying, you face a felony and a five yearstint in a federal pen for pretending to be a Withholding Agent when youre

    not one--- under penalty of perjury.

    Thats why I stopped filing. That was 18 years ago. Nobody can importune

    you to sign a false statement under penalty of perjury. If they do, and

    continue to do so even after you have told them bluntly that you are not a

    taxpayer and not a withholding agent, they have committed several crimes

    for which they can be held accountable and indicted---harassment, coercion,

    attempted extortion, importuning false witness, and the list goes on.

    The federal income tax is an excise tax, specifically, an impost duty,

    on the privilege of importing revenue to Puerto Rico.

    This is how it works.

    When you go into a bank and set up an account, the bank misunderstands

    on purpose and sets up an account for the federal franchise cestui que vie

    trust instead. Look on your personal checks--- MARY ANN BOSWELL.

    Thereafter when you deposit your paycheck in that account, you areunwittingly donating your money to the trust. The federal franchise

    literally acquires 100% ownership interest in your money, and being that the

    trust is a resident of Puerto Rico, you have imported revenue to Puerto

    Rico. As far as the judge can see, and until you rebut it, you are a US

    citizen in a collective entity relationship with a federal franchise trust,

    acting as a withholding agent, and you are responsible for paying the

    impost.

    All these years you have been paying them for the privilege of giving

    them your money.

    Its all bunko and fraud. The bank has unlawfully converted ownership of

    your property without your knowledge or consent, and THEY are the ones

    responsible for importing your money to Puerto Rico. Ask the IRS agents toshow you your signature on a lawful two-party, wet-ink, in-kind, fully

    disclosed contract that provides equitable consideration to you, which gives

    the banks permission to shunt your money into an account belonging to a

    federal franchise trust located in Puerto Rico?

    presence of fraud, its taint, destroys any and every kind of claim and legal

    action. These arrogant excuses for human beings have grown bold and

    numerous other crimes they have committed. You could claim fraud about

    virtually anything these people say or do, and now that you are clued in, you

    31. A few words about courts and jurisdictions--- because your real country has

    been dismantled and left vacated --- just as Tim Turner told you it was---

    there are no courts that hold jurisdiction over you left in this country. None.

    The statutory courts only hold jurisdiction over statutory citizens.

    You are not a statutory citizen because you are self-evidently not a

    corporation or other form of legal fiction. Period. There go all the statutory

    laws that you are accustomed to dealing with, right out the window. Poof!

    80 million laws and regulations and licenses have just hit the waste bin so

    far as being applied to you is concerned.

    The ONLY jurisdictions left that exist that legitimately allow you to take

    action against or interact whatsoever with the United States of America are

    international venues. You can only attack them and they can only attack

    you, in international venues and, in international courts. The US District

    Courts attempt to use international venues to attack you while putting their

    own men over you as judges----a very, very serious conflict of interest that

    cannot stand examination.

    You can avoid persecution by these duplicitous monsters by (1) pointing out

    that there is no valid contract binding you to maritime jurisdictions and (2)

    self-evidently, you are not a US vessel acting in any such venue. (Haul

    out your handy dandy Ecclesiastical Deed Poll with blood seal. Its pretty

    hard for a vessel in the Merchant Marine service to ooze human blood.)

    and (3) that the judge receives his paycheck from the United States of

    America which is the plaintiff in the case, so that there is no common

    ground or level playing field, only a giant improper offer to transact a

    security interest, which you, quite correctly refuse to accept and do not

    consent to.

    own law license for breakfast----not for being dishonest and corrupt, whichhe obviously is----but for being STUPID and pushing issues that he cannot

    push.

    This same conundrum means that you cannot take them to court in their own

    courts, whether they offer an international venue or not. You have to go

    OUTSIDE the court system of the United States of America to sue the

    United States of America (or its agents) and obtain impartial hearing of theissues. Most of us are content to merely avoid prosecution and get on with

    our lives, but if you want to carry the issues forward and prosecute THEM,

    please have sense enough to realize that it must be done in international

    courts that are not run by the United States of America.

    by metes and bounds on the land---they, too, have been defrauded, and that

    of the United States of America, based on the say-so of elected officials who

    committed treason.

    Look up Louis T. McFadden. Much of what we have won back, much of

    what we know, and much of what we can stand to gain back, is because of

    the work and words of a single Congressman--- Louis T. McFadden.

    The rats defrauded our States in exactly the same way that they have

    defrauded us----even using the same terminology. All this is supposedly

    voluntary, just like your voluntary payment of federal income taxes and

    your voluntary donation of the money in your bank account and yourvoluntary donation of ownership interest in your home.

    Is this voluntary? Was it ever? Did the People of the individual States ever

    take a vote, a referendum, or plebiscite agreeing to pledge the credit of their

    States in payment of debts owed by a foreign entity, the United States of

    America? NO. We, the People, werent asked. Some jackdaws in suits who

    were selected by the gangs we called political parties sold us down the riverat an afternoon coffee klatsch presided over by Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

    No such action or vote of the People was ever recorded, nor asked for. All

    these deals were made behind closed doors and hushed up for decades

    afterward.

    On March 6, 1933 the federal government (Franklin Delano Roosevelt)

    got the Conference of Governors to pledge the full faith and credit of the

    several States of the Union and their citizenry to the aid of the National

    Government, (see pp. 18 - 24 of The Public Papers and Addresses of Franklin

    Roosevelt, Volume II, The Year Of Crisis, March 6, 1933) for what theyopenly admitted to doing. They also encouraged the President to ask for and

    use extra-constitutional powers during the "emergency" that continues to this

    day.

    This was a completely voluntary action on the part of the Governors.

    They acted without granted Authority and without any sufficient material

    interest to pledge the full faith and credit of then- 48 States and that of the

    States citizenry as credit in behalf of the United States of America.

    It was fraud on the face of it.

    They individually had no granted Authority to pledge the full faith and

    credit of their States, which they did not own, as collateral. Likewise it was

    purely fraudulent for the Governors to claim material interest in the privately

    held resources of the Citizens of their State.

    The Petitioners and their Progenitors never gave their consent to this

    action and were for the most part never even made aware of it.

    There has sometimes been an assumption that the Governors were

    acting under a special law or regulation and that they were entitled to

    exercise it in the face of an emergency, but such is not and never has been

    the case.

    "Emergency does not create power. Emergency does not increase

    granted power or remove or diminish restrictions imposed upon power

    granted or reserved. The Constitution was adopted IN a period of grave

    emergency. Its grants of power to the Federal Government and its limitations

    of the power of the States were determined in the light of emergency and they

    are notaltered by emergency." [Emphasis added] Home Building & Loan

    The Governors acting in 1933 and the Respondents, Members of

    Congress, acting now have no special or extra powers during an

    emergency, declared or undeclared, yet that is what they specifically and

    dishonestly claimed in 1933 and what they are continuing to claim as the

    excuse for their infringements against The Constitution of the United States ofAmerica today. Likewise the Governors of the 50 States United acting in

    1933 had no new, special, different, or greater claim upon the resources of

    their States or upon the Citizens of those States as a result of any economic

    emergency.

    "The Constitution of the United States is a LAW for rulers and people

    equally in war and peace, and covers with the shield of its protection ALL

    classes of men, at ALL times, and under ALL circumstances. No doctrine,

    involving more pernicious consequences, was EVER invented by the wit of

    man than that any of its provisions can be suspended during any of the great

    exigencies of the government. Such a doctrine leads directly to anarchy or to

    despotism." [Statement of Opinion, U.S. Supreme Court, Annals 1866, in

    response to a new class of proposed infringing Reconstruction legislation that

    was similarly promoted on the basis national emergency.]

    Likewise, powers and property interests that the Governors didnt

    possessprior to the emergency did not magically accrue to them as theresult of any emergency, economic or otherwise. Their action pledging the

    full faith and credit of the 50 States and their citizenry was not allowed

    prior to the bankruptcy and was not made possible because of it. As in all

    cases of fraud, the victims were not notified of any such agreement being

    made in their behalf, for the simple reason that the Citizens of the now 50

    States if allowed to consider their options under conditions of full disclosure,

    would never have agreed.

    We can safely assert this, because of the tremendously deleteriousresults: (1) loss of national sovereignty, (2) giving the bankers and politicians

    access to unlimited and unrestricted credit, (3) gross indebtedness for

    unstipulated goods and services now in evidence as a more than $15 trillion

    dollar National Debt. No loyal or even rationally self-interested American

    ever agreed to this.

    Restoring the Republic begins with restoring the legal standing (Claim of

    Life provided by the EDP process) and political status (Declaration of Exile

    from any jurisdiction held by the United States of America, Declaration ofResidency of the True Trust in original jurisdiction on the land) of each

    American State National. Each one must act to dissolve the cestui que vie

    trusts associated with their names and reclaim their private property.

    After that, two white men over the age of majority who have re-established

    their legal standing and political status as American State Nationals must

    reclaim the land described by metes and bounds for each State. Local county

    and State governments must be reorganized representing each State in the

    Republic, and opposition to the national bankruptcy must be entered on the

    basis of fraud practiced against the People of the American Domestic States.

    [The reason that you cant just create a new national government under the

    original Constitutionwhich is what Tim Turner has been trying to do---is

    that claim to the land we live on only derives from the States.

    Trying to reclaim the federal government without first reclaiming the States

    is like grabbing the saddle and bridle without having a horse to ride.

    The federal government created by The Constitution has no natural

    jurisdiction over the land and is entirely a maritime power. Put another way,

    the federal government created by the original Constitution cannotspeak to

    land ownership issues like bankruptcy and foreclosure for the States in a

    Republic---thats why the Conference of Governors had to be enlisted.

    Roosevelt couldnt enter the States into bankruptcy----as voluntary

    adjuncts or otherwise.

    We must argue that the Conference of Governors didnt have the right to do

    it, either.

    A Governors role is administrative and executive; he or she works for the

    People, who are the real parties of interest, the owners of the States. The

    People of the individual States had to be consulted and had to give their

    permission to enter bankruptcy. They were not consulted and did not give

    their permission. They werent even told.

    The Governors Conference acting in 1933 grossly, unforgivably, and

    treasonously overstepped any granted authority possessed by the individual

    Governors, and what they did not possess individually, they could not claim

    collectively. The Governors didnt own their States, just like they didnt

    own the good faith and credit of the citizenry of their States. Those things

    were not theirs to pledge.

    The crazy - like a - fox monetary system set up by FDR allows for some

    very strange things. One of them is that promissory notes are defined as

    legal tender (31 CFR 103.11) and as negotiable instruments (UCC 3-104).

    This means that when you, the living man or woman, sign a Promissory

    Note, it becomes Actual Cash Value ---legal tender----for the banks.

    Stop a moment and realize that your Promissory Note was legal tenderfor

    the bankand that discharged the ENTIRE amount of the loanit actually

    prepaid the loan that they claimed they gave you.

    Banks and other lending institutions are not allowed to loan depositors

    money because of the matching provisions under GAAP and they are

    prevented from loaning their own money by Federal Reserve rules. They

    have no money to lend, until you create it for them. All they do is credityour

    deposit and write a check based upon it.

    Okay, so they loan you your own money, but they launder it first. How?

    Our old friend, the cestui que vie trust.

    The banks deposit your promissory note in the trusts account by entering

    numbers crediting the account---- creating checkbook money also known

    properly as money of account with the flick of a keystroke. The full value

    of your promissory note has just been unlawfully converted to the ownership

    of the federal trust by the bank, acting without your knowledge or

    permission.

    The bank now withdraws the money from the federal trusts account by

    writing a check based on the money you donated to the federal trust, and

    gives it to you, claiming that they-- the bank, has given you a loan.

    Thats unlawful conversion of your property and two major frauds before we

    even got out of bed.

    Always remember that a check is not money. A check is just a way of

    transferring money between accounts---in this case, between the cestui que

    vie trusts special escrow account, and its normal checking account which

    you thinkbelongs to you.

    What has actually happened, but which is never disclosed to you, is that

    there is no mortgage contract with the supposed lender and there never

    was one.

    The bank has a totally different role than it advertises: its not a lender at

    all.

    The Creditoraccording to the bank records---is the federal cestui que vie

    trust.

    You purportedly borrowed the money from the federal trust.

    Lets just ignore the fact that you were also the one who donated all that

    money to the federal trust, thanks to the bank shunting your assets into the

    trusts account without your knowledge or permission.

    The trusts name goes on the title to the home as the owner, as indeed, it is.

    The second the promissory note was deposited, the federal cestui que vie

    trust owned your house lock, septic, and window. Look up the legal meaningof closing----its literal. When you left the closing table the entire

    transaction was done.

    However, while they were handling the legitimate details, the bank offered

    you a Security Agreement ---- a document that no bank employee signed,

    only you. Though it was deceptively worded, the Security Agreement is

    an implied trust indenture; someone named with your name agrees to be the

    donor and the bank happily agrees to be the beneficiary of a 100% equity

    interest in the home---for free, and to receive the security interest as well.

    To you, acting on the idea that you have received a loan from the bank,

    this demand for equity to secure the loan seems reasonable enough. Its

    only when you realize that you haventreceived a loan from the bank that

    the alarm sirens go off.

    Signing the Security Agreement means that not only do they get a free

    equity interest in your home, they can sell the mortgage paper on the home

    as a mortgage backed security and profit twice from the same generous

    (and undisclosed) gift.

    Meantime, back at the ranch, an escrow account is set up in the trusts

    name, and month after month, you send in your monthly mortgage

    payments plus interest to pay back the federal cestui que vie trust for the

    generous loan it gave you. And month after month, the money sits in the

    account untouched.

    After a period of time stipulated by law, the bank says---What, ho? This

    money has been sitting here for a long time. It must be abandoned funds.

    So they claim the mortgage payments as abandoned funds and they

    pretend that the Beneficiary----the federal cestui que vie trust is

    unknown. Well, after all, it lives in Puerto Rico.

    So lets line this out for you--- your Promissory Note literally pre-paid the

    entire amount of money spent on your home. You gave the bank the

    security interest and 100% equity interest in the home for free. And the

    bank has been collecting your mortgage payments plus interest as

    abandoned funds for umpty-ump years.

    What is that? 500% profit, in exchange for a few duplicitous, undisclosed

    keystrokes unlawfully converting ownership of your promissory note to the

    benefit of a federal cestui que vie trust that you are completely unaware of.

    500%, more or less, for setting up a false presumption and otherwise

    keeping ones lips zipped.

    Lets recap this sordid, bizarre study in fraud most venal:

    (1) They falsely advertise home loans and set up false presumptions from

    the start. They know that they have no money to loan and wont have

    any money to loan until you create it by signing a promissory note.

    (2) They keep up the ruse throughout the whole process, consistently

    leading you to believe that you are receiving a loanfrom them---calling it

    a LOAN and feeding you through their LOAN DEPARTMENT and

    talking about your credit rating----which means nothing at all. (3) They

  • 7/31/2019 For the Dazed Final

    30/35

    30

    offer you a Security Agreement that they know you will sign under the

    false presumptions they set up in steps one and two. (4) They never

    disclose their real role. (5) They never disclose the nature of the

    transaction. (6) They never disclose the existence of the cestui que vie

    trust or its role. (7) They never give you ANYTHING amounting toequitable consideration. (8) They open an account in the name of the

    cestui que vie trust and deposit the actual cash value of your promissory

    note ---an amount equal to the entire amount of the alleged loan---in

    this account belonging to another, separate legal entity without your

    knowledge or permission. (9) They never disclose the existence of the

    escrow account. If they did, you could send in your monthly mortgage

    payment plus interest one day and come get it back out again the next

    day.

    You think the bank is going to take your home? You think they have a leg

    to stand on? You think any judge in his right mind is going to touch this

    with a forty foot pole? Not if you stand up and speak knowledgeably to

    these issues.

    If more people, including judges, knew what these monsters are doing,

    theyd never be able to foreclose on a home loan from now until the Second

    Coming.

    And now that you know, you can not only defend yourself. You can defend

    others.

    Remember that because State courts are federal franchises, they have only

    statutory venues and administer only Territorial law. Theres no way they

    CAN address you if you stand up and rebut the presumptions of US

    citizenship and collective entity relationship with the federal cestui que

    contract binding you to these venues---blow off the berth certificate

    signed by your Mother, and no matter what they say or do, what venue they

    invoke----they are still receiving their paycheck from the Plaintiff.

    Recognize the conflict of interest.

    34. Always remember---the NAME is unavoidably the same, because the ratsnamed the federal trust after you, so when the trust is named as the

    Defendant in a law suit, you become a Defendant in Error. Dont take the

    bait. Look at the name of the entity being charged. See? Its in all capital

    letters. Its the trust that is being addressed, not you, the living man or

    woman. When you go to court to settle their hash, you say I am here in the

    matter of the name of(your name) and you make it clear that you are

    not the same as the federal cestui que vie trust and that you do not act as a

    collective entity with respect to it, that you do not accept responsibility for itor its debts, and that you are instead the lawful beneficiary of all cestui que

    vie trusts operated by any level of government for any reason whatsoever.

    This is important not only because you need to rebut and forestall any

    presumption that you are in cahoots with this trust, but also because

    Republic, he can invoke the International Court--- right after he observes

    that the judge is being paid by the Plaintiff.

    Second, we point out that when there are criminal charges involving an

    American State National, the burden on the federales is heavy indeed.

    There are no thought crimes and no statutory crimes and no victimless

    crimes that can be applied against an American State National. For

    example, Tim Turner never needed a passport from the United States of

    America to travel anywhere and still doesnt. If there was an improper act

    due to misunderstanding on his part, who or what caused that

    misunderstanding? The de facto government purposefully misinforms

    people, making them think that they are all US citizens and that they all

    need a US Passport. They misinformed Tim along with everyone else. He

    should be able to identify what publications or informants misinformed

    him about US Passports and grill them.

    Who caused the problem? What redress is there? Who is injured? How?

    Wheres the proof? Wheres the valid jurisdiction?

    State Nationals have the original apparatus of the nation to provide their

    passports--- glue a passport sized picture of yourself to a sturdy piece of

    paper and beside the photo, a drop of your blood and your thumbprint and

    write a valid home mailing address and the date; go down to the Post

    Office, have two Witnesses with you and in front of the local Postmasterhave them sign the paper under a brief statement affirming that this is you

    and that you are a person of known family and good character, born in blah-

    blah Domestic State of the Union. Have the Postmaster witness this as the

    third person, affix Registered Letter Postage, and cancel the stamp for you.

    Thats it. Theres your passport, good to travel anywhere in the world.

    Passports are issued by the Post Office for a reason---and it doesnt matter

    what frou-frou-rah forms and seals the United States of America requires----

    all that matters is that you, an American State National meet therequirements thatyourcountry, The United States of America.

    That, and the fact that the IRS is blowing smoke in its accusation of him,

    cuts the charges down to what?

    The Feds have to dig up a corpus delecti and allege and then prove realspecific injury to someone.

    So if Tim Turner hasnt harmed anyone, they are going to be hard pressed.

    Someone, a live man or woman, has to stand up and accuse him of injuring

    them under penalty of perjury and full commercial liability, and thanks toTrinsey v. Pagliaro, the accuser cannot be an attorney acting in behalf of an

    agency. So lets see who is stupid enough to do that in the DOJ.

    In addition to establishing a valid complaining party, they have to prove

    standing, too. The injury has to be caused directly and specifically by Tim

    Turner and not the result of fraud or acts committed by identifiable Third

    Parties. The injury has to be redress-able. If the court cant deliver redress

    to the injured party, the court is stuck.

    A lot of the legal eagles out there forget the basics, and the basics often offer

    the best, most incontrovertible defense. Tim knows this. Remind him. And

    keep working toward what we all know has to be done.
