For the purposes of this website and ministry, the above condition whereby “natural law” prevails is synonymous with:

1. ALL property is absolutely owned.
2. The protection of private property is not regarded by anyone in government as “making law” (Litigation Tool #01.009), but rather a fulfillment of the main purpose of establishing government and the oath that all public officers take when accepting office. The CIVIL statutes DO NOT protect PRIVATE property, but PUBLIC property that became public by donating PRIVATE property to a public use, a public purpose, and/or a public office. In that sense, the current civil government ONLY PROTECTS ITSELF and its own PUBLIC property, and NEVER YOU or ANY HUMAN BEING at least from a CIVIL perspective! See: Why The Government is the Only Real Beneficiary of All Government Franchises, Form #05.051**.
3. Civil statutes (Form #05.037) are not called “law”, but civil service franchise contracts.
4. Only voting and jury service are privileges that can be CIVILLY regulated by default. Any other thing that is a voluntary privilege must be expressly signed up for and PAID for in writing on the annual tax return filed at the beginning of each year and only lasts for one year.
5. Government ID’s are NOT used to change your civil status to a “resident” or “domiciliary”. You remain PRIVATE when using government ID. Click here for information on government ID*.
6. No other franchise or privilege (Form #05.030) is or can be bundled with voting or jury service, such as civil DOMICILE (Form #05.002). This would constitute what we call “weaponization of government”.
7. All government “civil services” must be requested IN WRITING at the beginning of each year and you only pay for what you ask for. The purpose of filing tax returns is to CONSENT to specific civil services you want and to pay for them in advance. Those who didn’t pay for them may not receive them. See SEDM Disclaimer, Section 4.6 for a definition of “civil service”.
8. Everyone is subject to the criminal and common law, whether they consent or not.
9. Civil courts may not enforce civil statutory law upon any party UNLESS they expressly consented IN WRITING to receive its benefits as public property. If they didn’t, only the common law and criminal law applies. That consent shall appear on the tax return filed annually.
10. Administrative tax enforcement is NOT permitted and not necessary, since all civil services consumed are prepaid annually in advance. If you don’t prepay, you don’t get the service.
11. Every government agent is personally accountable for the accuracy and truthfulness of EVERYTHING he or she communicates to the public that might have an adverse affect on PRIVATE property or PRIVATE rights. Thus, they are PRESUMED to be communicating under penalty of perjury at all times. If they lie, they are civilly penalized. ANONYMOUS communication or collection letters are FORBIDDEN. All must be signed by a human being.
12. All government “benefits” are regarded as “civil services” that must be 100% paid annually for by those who consume them AS THEY ARE USED. Use of public funds for charity is FORBIDDEN.
13. The filing of information returns (Form #04.001) such as the W-2 and 1099 are forbidden and a criminal offense of impersonating a public office. They are unnecessary if civil services are consented to and paid for annually and you don’t need to BE a public officer to consume civil services. Being a sponsor is sufficient to consume said services.
14. Consent must always be OVERT and in writing, and NEVER COVERT or implied through actions of any kind. See Hot Topics: Invisible Consent*.

This article derives from:

Civil Status, sometimes also called Legal Status, is how you become a “person” under civil statutory law. It is what the courts call a “res” which gives them civil control over you under one of three different systems of civil law. Civil status is VERY important because it is the source of civil statutory jurisdiction of courts over you and their right to “personal jurisdiction” over you. It also describes how your actions affect “choice of law” and your “status” in any court cases you bring. This article summarizes the major aspects of this important subject.

It is the paramount duty of all REAL “governments” to protect people within their territory from involuntary changes to their civil status.  In other words, they must protect people from acquiring legal obligations (Form #12.040) that they did not EXPRESSLY consent to IN WRITING.  Otherwise, they are not really a “government”, but a “de facto government” (Form #05.043).

“In all domestic concerns each state of the Union is to be deemed an independent sovereignty. As such, it is its province and its duty to forbid interference by another state as well as by any foreign power with the status of its own citizens. Unless at least one of the spouses is a resident thereof in good faith, the courts of such sister state or of such foreign power cannot acquire jurisdiction to dissolve the marriage of those who have an established domicile in the state which resents such interference with matters which disturb its social serenity or affect the morals of its inhabitants.”

”But it was also contended in that court, and is insisted upon here, that the judgment in the State court against the plaintiff was void for want of personal service of process on him, or of his appearance in the action in which it was rendered, and that the premises in controversy could not be subjected to the payment of the demand 722*722 of a resident creditor except by a proceeding in rem; that is, by a direct proceeding against the property for that purpose. If these positions are sound, the ruling of the Circuit Court as to the invalidity of that judgment must be sustained, notwithstanding our dissent from the reasons upon which it was made. And that they are sound would seem to follow from two well-established principles of public law respecting the jurisdiction of an independent State over persons and property. The several States of the Union are not, it is true, in every respect independent, many of the rights and powers which originally belonged to them being now vested in the government created by the Constitution. But, except as restrained and limited by that instrument, they possess and exercise the authority of independent States, and the principles of public law to which we have referred are applicable to them. One of these principles is, that

[1] every State possesses exclusive jurisdiction and sovereignty over persons and property within its territory. As a consequence, every State has the power to determine for itself the civil status and capacities of its inhabitants; to prescribe the subjects upon which they may contract, the forms and solemnities with which their contracts shall be executed, the rights and obligations arising from them, and the mode in which their validity shall be determined and their obligations enforced; and also to regulate the manner and conditions upon which property situated within such territory, both personal and real, may be acquired, enjoyed, and transferred.

[2] The other principle of public law referred to follows from the one mentioned; that is, that no State can exercise direct jurisdiction and authority over persons or property without its territory.”

You cannot have a “civil status” under the laws of a specific place WITHOUT satisfying one or more of the following criteria:

1. A physical presence in that place. The status would be under the COMMON law.   Common law is based on physical location of people on land rather than their civil statutory status.
2. CONSENSUALLY doing business in that place. The status would be under the common law.  See the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, 28 U.S.C. Chapter 97 and International Shoe Co. v. Washington, 326 U.S. 310 (1945).
3. A CONSENSUAL domicile in that place. This would be a status under the civil statutes of that place.  See Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 17(a).  See also Form #05.002.
4. CONSENSUALLY representing an artificial entity (a legal fiction) that has a domicile in that place. This would be a status under the civil statutes of that place.  See Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 17(b).
5. Consenting to a civil status under the laws of that place. Anything done consensually cannot form the basis for an injury in a court of law.  Such consent is usually manifested by filling out a government form identifying yourself with a specific statutory status, such as a W-4, 1040, driver’s license application, etc.  This is covered in:

Human beings who are “sovereign” in fact:

1. Have no “civil status” under statutory law.
2. Only have a “civil status” under the constitution and the common law.
3. Are not party to the “social compact”, but “foreigners” among citizens.  The Law of Nations, Book 1, Section 213 calls them “inhabitants”.
4. Are not privileged “aliens”.
5. Participate in NO government franchises or privileges, but instead reserve all their PRIVATE, UNALIENABLE rights (Form #12.038) and thereby remain exclusively private.  See Form #05.030.
6. Were described as “idiots” under early Greek law.  Click here for details.
7. Understand the distinctions between PUBLIC and PRIVATE and maintain absolute separation between the two in all their interactions with any so-called “government”. They ensure that all of their property remains absolutely owned and exclusively private.  Thus, they can control and dictate all uses and everyone who wants to take or control it.  See Form #12.025.
8. Civilly govern themselves without external interference, except possibly of common law and criminal courts.
9. Replace the civil statutory protection franchise with private contracts and franchises of their own for everyone they do business with, thus rendering “civil services” on the part of organized governments irrelevant and unnecessary.  For a definition of “civil services”, see the definition in our Disclaimer, Section 4.  In that sense, they have FIRED the government from a civil perspective and retain all of their God-given inalienable rights.   All rights reserved, UCC 1-308.
10. Are civilly governed mainly by the “civil laws” found in the Holy Bible if they are Christians, or by the laws of their faith if they have another faith. This is a protected First Amendment right to practice their religion.
    Laws of the Bible, Litigation Tool #09.001

The ONLY thing Casear can civilly own, civilly control, or civilly tax is that which he CREATES, and he didn’t create YOU or the right of private property.  God did.  In that sense, his sovereigny is limited by God.  See:

3. Statism, which is the worship of the state as a deity.  See:  Communism, Socialism, and Collectivism, Section 4.

5. Socialism.  Form #05.016.
6. Imputing “supernatural” or “superior” powers to civil rulers or government
7. A destruction of equality of treatment and protection.  Form #05.033.
8. Establishing an unconstitutional “Title of Nobility”.  That title is “U.S. Inc.”.  Form #05.024.

1 Basis for your EXCLUSIVE right to declare and establish your civil status

The right to declare and establish your civil and statutory status is tied to the legal definition of “property” itself.  “Property” as legally defined is that which you EXCLUSIVELY own and control, and can deprive all others of using or benefitting from:

Property. That which is peculiar or proper to any person; that which belongs exclusively to one. In the strict legal sense, an aggregate of rights which are guaranteed and protected by the government. Fulton Light, Heat & Power Co. v. State, 65 Misc.Rep. 263, 121 N.Y.S. 536. The term is said to extend to every species of valuable right and interest. More specifically, ownership; the unrestricted and exclusive right to a thing; the right to dispose of a thing in every legal way, to possess it, to use it, and to exclude everyone else from interfering with it. That dominion or indefinite right of use or disposition which one may lawfully exercise over particular things or subjects. The exclusive right of possessing, enjoying, and disposing of a thing. The highest right a man can have to anything; being used to refer to that right which one has to lands or tenements, goods or chattels, which no way depends on another man’s courtesy.

The word is also commonly used to denote everything which is the subject of ownership, corporeal or incorporeal, tangible or intangible, visible or invisible, real or personal, everything that has an exchangeable value or which goes to make up wealth or estate. It extends to every species of valuable right and interest, and includes real and personal property, easements, franchises, and incorporeal hereditaments, and includes every invasion of one’s property rights by actionable wrong. Labberton v. General Cas. Co. of America, 53 Wash.2d. 180, 332 P.2d. 250, 252, 254.

Property embraces everything which is or may be the subject of ownership, whether a legal ownership. or whether beneficial, or a private ownership. Davis v. Davis. TexCiv-App., 495 S.W.2d. 607. 611. Term includes not only ownership and possession but also the right of use and enjoyment for lawful purposes. Hoffmann v. Kinealy, Mo., 389 S.W.2d. 745, 752.

Property, within constitutional protection, denotes group of rights inhering in citizen’s relation to physical thing, as right to possess, use and dispose of it. Cereghino v. State By and Through State Highway Commission, 230 Or. 439, 370 P.2d. 694, 697.

Goodwill is property, Howell v. Bowden, TexCiv. App., 368 S.W.2d. 842, &18; as is an insurance policy and rights incident thereto, including a right to the proceeds, Harris v. Harris, 83 N.M. 441,493 P.2d. 407, 408.

Criminal code. “Property” means anything of value. including real estate, tangible and intangible personal property, contract rights, choses-in-action and other interests in or claims to wealth, admission or transportation tickets, captured or domestic animals, food and drink, electric or other power. Model Penal Code. Q 223.0. See also Property of another, infra. Dusts. Under definition in Restatement, Second, Trusts, Q 2(c), it denotes interest in things and not the things themselves.
[Black’s Law Dictionary, Fifth Edition, p. 1095]

Note that YOUR BODY, your labor, and all that you own at least STARTS OUT as exclusively your property, and by EXCLUSIVELY we mean that it is PRIVATE property beyond the civil control or regulation of any government.  Only by donating it or some portion of it to a “public use”, “public purpose”, or “public office” can its use be civilly regulated by any government.

“Every man has a natural right to the fruits of his own labor, is generally admitted; and no other person can rightfully deprive him of those fruits, and appropriate them against his will…”

“We have repeatedly held that, as to property reserved by its owner for private use, “the right to exclude [others is] `one of the most essential sticks in the bundle of rights that are commonly characterized as property.’ ” Loretto v.

“In this case, we hold that the “right to exclude,” so universally held to be a fundamental element of the property right, falls within this category of interests that the Government cannot take without compensation.”

The only time a government can take away your property without compensation in return and without your consent is when you have hurt someone with it, and that deprivation can only occur AFTER the injury, not BEFORE.  Any deprivation BEFORE the injury must involve your express consent to donate the property or some interest in the property to a “public use”, “public purpose”, and/or “public office”.  These rules were identified by the U.S. Supreme Court as follows:

“Men are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable  rights,- ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness;’ and to ‘secure,’ not grant or create, these rights, governments are instituted. That property [or income] which a man has honestly acquired he retains full control of, subject to these limitations: First, that he shall not use it to his neighbor’s injury, and that does not mean that he must use it for his neighbor’s benefit [e.g. SOCIAL SECURITY, Medicare, and every other public “benefit”]; second, that if he devotes it to a public use, he gives to the public a right to control that use; and third, that whenever the public needs require, the public may take it upon payment of due compensation.”
[Budd v. People of State of New York, 143 U.S. 517, 550 (1892);
SOURCE: https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=17245612752943291505]

The only way one can rationally disagree with the conclusions of this section is to advocate one of the following positions, all of which corrupt and destroy the notion of private property that is behind any and every great republic:

1. That there is no PRIVATE property and that EVERYTHING is PUBLIC property owned by the government.
2. That the government is the LEGAL owner of EVERYTHING and that they only LOAN it to you.
3. That “taxes” are the “rent” you pay to use GOVERNMENT property.  If you don’t pay the taxes, they can take it away from you and thereby EXCLUDE you from using or benefitting from it.

All the above premises are the foundation of socialism, in which the government either completely owns or at least CONTROLS ALL property.

“socialism n (1839) 1: any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods 2 a: a system of society or group living in which there is no private property b: a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state 3: a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done.”
[Webster’s Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary, 1983, ISBN 0-87779-510-X, p. 1118]

Lastly, we emphasize that the purpose for which ALL governments are established, is to protect PRIVATE rights and PRIVATE property, according to our Declaration of Independence.  Anyone who argues with this section indirectly is advocating that we DO NOT have a “government” as defined by our founding documents:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
[Declaration of Independence, 1776;
SOURCE: http://www.archives.gov/national-archives-experience/charters/declaration.html]

Furthermore, anyone who takes the position that there is no PRIVATE property and that the GOVERNMENT owns EVERYTHING, indirectly must advocate atheism and is a THIEF, because the Bible itself says that GOD owns THE WHOLE EARTH AND THE HEAVENS.  Caesar cannot own or even control that which does not belong to him:

“Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the LORD’s thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is.”
[Deuteronomy 10:12-14, Bible, NKJV]

“The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours; The world and all its fullness, You have founded them.”
[Psalm 89:11, Bible, NKJV]

2 What do we mean by “civil status”? [1]

A civil status is a term defined or described in either the constitution or statutes or the common law to which either obligations or rights attach.  Example “civil statuses” would be “person” (under a civil statute), “taxpayer” (under the tax code), “driver” (under the vehicle code), “individual”, etc.  Every obligation gives rise to a corresponding right on the part of the entity or person to whom the obligation is owed.  An obligation, in turn, could include the requirement to perform a specific service, or it could include some measure of control over property in your custody or control.  Obligations are always enforceable through some type of legal penalty or administrative or judicial enforcement for non-performance.

TITLE 1. DEFINITION OF OBLIGATIONS [1427 – [1428.]] ( Title 1 enacted 1872.)

1427. An obligation is a legal duty, by which a person is bound to do or not to do a certain thing.

(Enacted 1872.)

The ONLY method for lawfully creating obligations is either through your consent in the form of a contract or “operation of law”.  “Operation of law” involves a case where your actions or inactions have injured the equal rights of someone else.  That injury violates the concept of “justice” itself, which is the “right to be let alone”.[2]

TITLE 1. DEFINITION OF OBLIGATIONS [1427 – [1428.]] (Title 1 enacted 1872.)

[1428.] Section Fourteen Hundred and Twenty-eight. An obligation arises either from:

One — The contract of the parties; or,

Two — The operation of law. An obligation arising from operation of law may be enforced in the manner provided by law, or by civil action or proceeding.

(Amended by Code Amendments 1873-74, Ch. 612.)

A violation of the above rules for creating obligations constitutes one of the following:

1. Unconstitutional taking of private property under the Fifth Amendment or equivalent state constitution.
2. Involuntary servitude, in the case of the Thirteenth Amendment, if the thing compelled is some kind of service or physical performance.

The use of the term “status” in this memorandum:

1. Is associated with the domicile of the party in question.  Before one may have any kind of civil status, one must:
   1. CONSENSUALLY have a domicile or residence within the forum or jurisdiction in question.
   2. Have legal evidence of said domicile admissible in court to prove the domicile they claim.
   3. Acquire statutory “citizen” or “resident” status under the civil laws of the place by virtue of choosing a domicile within that place.
2. Relates exclusively to the civil status of a party under the CIVIL STATUTORY laws of a specific jurisdiction.
   1. Civil statutory laws only pertain to those consensually domiciled within the forum or jurisdiction.
   2. They may not be enforced against non-residents or those not domiciled within the forum or jurisdiction unless the non-resident satisfies the “Minimum Contacts Doctrine” spoken of by the U.S. Supreme Court in International Shoe Co. v. Washington, 326 U.S. 310 (1945).
3. Does NOT relate to the CRIMINAL laws.  Criminal laws do not attach to the status of the parties or to their consent in any way.  Instead, they attach at the point when a harmful act is committed against a specific party on the territory to which said law attaches.

A well-known book on domicile explains the origin of “civil status” as follows:

§ 29. Status. [3]  It may be laid down that the status-or, as it is sometimes called, civil status, in contradistinction to political status – of a person depends largely, although not universally, upon domicil. The older jurists, whose opinions are fully collected by Story [4] and Burge [5] maintained, with few exceptions, the principle of the ubiquity of status, conferred by the lex domicilii with little qualification. Lord Westbury, in Udny v. Udny [6] thus states the doctrine broadly: “The civil status is governed by one single principle, namely, that of domicil, which is the criterion established by law for the purpose of determining civil status. For it is on this basis. that the personal rights of the party – that is to say, the law which determines his majority and minority, his marriage, succession, testacy, or intestacy-must depend.” Gray, C. J., in the late Massachusetts case of Ross v. Ross [7] speaking with special reference to capacity to inherit, says: “It is a general principle that the status or condition of a person, the relation in which he stands to another person, and by which he is qualified or made capable to take” certain rights in that other’s property, is fixed by the law of the domicil; and that this status and capacity are to be recognized and upheld in every other State, so far as they are not inconsistent with its own laws and policy.”

But great difficulty in the discussion of this subject has arisen by reason of the loose and varying use of the term status and the want of any clear definition of what is meant by it. Savigny [8] understood it to mean ” capacity to have [PUBLIC] rights [meaning PRIVILEGES, not PRIVATE or constitutional or natural rights] and to act;” and this undoubtedly was the sense in which it was understood by the older jurists. In Niboyet v. Niboyet, [9] Brett, L. J., gives this definition: “The status of an individual, used as a legal term, means the legal position of the individual in or with regard to the rest of a community.” But whatever may be the definition of the term, or whatever rules applicable to status in general may be looked upon as having received general acceptance, there are certain prominent states or conditions of persons, which have been treated of by writers and considered by the courts, and these it will be well to examine separately, with a view to ascertain how far they are affected by domicil.
[Treatise on the Law of Domicil, M.W. Jacobs, 1887; Little Brown and Company, §29, pp. 38-39]

In typical deceitful lawyer fashion, the above quote EQUIVOCATES PUBLIC rights and PRIVATE rights, as if to suggest they are the same and that they all originate from DOMICILE. We amplified the quote with brackets to show what they are REALLY saying. PUBLIC rights originate from VOLUNTARY civil domicile and are LEGISLATIVELY CREATED and therefore OWNED by their creator, the “State”. Those exercising them are officers and agents of the state USING PUBLIC property with permission of the state. PUBLIC rights are GRANTED by the “social Compact” and are implemented ONLY with civil statutory law. As such, the civil statutory law acts as a Private Membership Association (PMA).

PRIVATE rights, on the other hand, originate from standing on LAND protected by the Constitution rather than DOMICILE and are SUPERIOR to PUBLIC rights. They are the DEFAULT rights you are BORN with and must SURRENDER by your consent to lose. You cannot exercise PUBLIC rights and PRIVATE rights at the SAME time in the same situation. Either you are acting as a AGENT of the state called a civil statutory “person” or you are acting as a PRIVATE man or woman. You can’t do both at the same time. Pursuing a civil statutory privilege is how you SURRENDER PRIVATE rights and exchange them for PUBLIC rights and privileges.   The PRIVILEGES legislatively granted by the civil statutory law therefore constitute in effect a BRIBE to entice you to sell your birthright like Esau in the Bible for a bowl of pottage in Gen. 25.  Don’t do it!  That birthright is your PRIVATE, constitutional, and natural rights.

Below is an example of the above, from the U.S. Supreme Court.  The “status” spoken in this case of is that of being “married” under the laws of a specific state:

“To prevent any misapplication of the views expressed in this opinion, it is proper to observe that we do not mean to assert, by any thing we have said, that a State may not authorize proceedings to determine the status of one of its citizens towards a non-resident, which would be binding within the State, though made without service of process or personal notice to the non-resident. The jurisdiction which every State possesses to determine the civil status and capacities of all its inhabitants involves authority to prescribe the conditions on which proceedings affecting them may be commenced and carried on within its territory. The State, for example, has absolute 735*735 right to prescribe the conditions upon which the marriage relation between its own citizens shall be created, and the causes for which it may be dissolved. One of the parties guilty of acts for which, by the law of the State, a dissolution may be granted, may have removed to a State where no dissolution is permitted. The complaining party would, therefore, fail if a divorce were sought in the State of the defendant; and if application could not be made to the tribunals of the complainant’s domicile in such case, and proceedings be there instituted without personal service of process or personal notice to the offending party, the injured citizen would be without redress.

“Domicile” and “Nationality” are distinguished in the following U.S. Supreme Court case:

In Udny v. Udny (1869) L. R. 1 H. L. Sc. 441, the point decided was one of inheritance, depending upon the question whether the domicile of the father was in England or in Scotland, he being in either alternative a British subject. Lord Chancellor Hatherley said: ‘The question of naturalization and of allegiance is distinct from that of domicile.‘ Page 452. Lord Westbury, in the passage relied on by the counsel for the United States, began by saying: ‘The law of England, and of almost all civilized countries, ascribes to each individual at his birth two distinct legal states or conditions,—one by virtue of which he becomes the subject [NATIONAL] of some particular country, binding him by the tie of natural allegiance, and which may be called his political status; another by virtue of which he has ascribed to him the character of a citizen of some particular country, and as such is possessed of certain municipal rights, and subject to certain obligations, which latter character is the civil status or condition of the individual, and may be quite different from his political status.‘ And then, while maintaining that the civil status is universally governed by the single principle of domicile (domicilium), the criterion established by international law for the purpose of determining civil status, and the basis on which ‘the personal rights of the party—that is to say, the law which determines his majority or minority, his marriage, succession, testacy, or intestacy— must depend,’ he yet distinctly recognized that a man’s political status, his country (patria), and his ‘nationality,—that is, natural allegiance,’—’may depend on different laws in different countries.’ Pages 457, 460. He evidently used the word ‘citizen,’ not as equivalent to ‘subject,’ but rather to ‘inhabitant’; and had no thought of impeaching the established rule that all persons born under British dominion are natural-born subjects.

In law, all rights are property.  Hence, “civil rights” attach to the CIVIL STATUTORY STATUS of a “person”:

Property. That which is peculiar or proper to any person; that which belongs exclusively to one. In the strict legal sense, an aggregate of rights which are guaranteed and protected by the government. Fulton Light, Heat & Power Co. v. State, 65 Misc.Rep. 263, 121 N.Y.S. 536. The term is said to extend to every species of valuable right and interest. More specifically, ownership; the unrestricted and exclusive right to a thing; the right to dispose of a thing in every legal way, to possess it, to use it, and to exclude everyone else from interfering with it. That dominion or indefinite right of use or disposition which one may lawfully exercise over particular things or subjects. The exclusive right of possessing, enjoying, and disposing of a thing. The highest right a man can have to anything; being used to refer to that right which one has to lands or tenements, goods or chattels, which no way depends on another man’s courtesy.

The word is also commonly used to denote everything which is the subject of ownership, corporeal or incorporeal, tangible or intangible, visible or invisible, real or personal, everything that has an exchangeable value or which goes to make up wealth or estate. It extends to every species of valuable right and interest, and includes real and personal property, easements, franchises, and incorporeal hereditaments, and includes every invasion of one’s property rights by actionable wrong. Labberton v. General Cas. Co. of America, 53 Wash.2d. 180, 332 P.2d. 250, 252, 254.

Property embraces everything which is or may be the subject of ownership, whether a legal ownership. or whether beneficial, or a private ownership. Davis v. Davis. TexCiv-App., 495 S.W.2d. 607. 611. Term includes not only ownership and possession but also the right of use and enjoyment for lawful purposes. Hoffmann v. Kinealy, Mo., 389 S.W.2d. 745, 752.

Property, within constitutional protection, denotes group of rights inhering in citizen’s relation to physical thing, as right to possess, use and dispose of it. Cereghino v. State By and Through State Highway Commission, 230 Or. 439, 370 P.2d. 694, 697.

Goodwill is property, Howell v. Bowden, TexCiv. App., 368 S.W.2d. 842, &18; as is an insurance policy and rights incident thereto, including a right to the proceeds, Harris v. Harris, 83 N.M. 441,493 P.2d. 407, 408.

Criminal code. “Property” means anything of value. including real estate, tangible and intangible personal property, contract rights, choses-in-action and other interests in or claims to wealth, admission or transportation tickets, captured or domestic animals, food and drink, electric or other power. Model Penal Code. Q 223.0. See also Property of another, infra. Dusts. Under definition in Restatement, Second, Trusts, Q 2(c), it denotes interest in things and not the things themselves.
[Black’s Law Dictionary, Fifth Edition, p. 1095]

Those who do not have a domicile in a specific municipal jurisdiction are regarded as “non-residents”, and hence, they have no “civil status” or “status” under the “civil laws” of the jurisdiction they are non-resident in relation to.  An example of this phenomenon is found in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 17(b), in which jurisdiction is described as follows:

IV. PARTIES > Rule 17.
Rule 17. Parties Plaintiff and Defendant; Capacity

(b) Capacity to Sue or be Sued.

Capacity to sue or be sued is determined as follows:

(1) for an individual who is not acting in a representative capacity, by the law of the individual’s domicile;

(2) for a corporation[the “United States”, in this case, or its officers on official duty representing the corporation], by the law under which it was organized [laws of the District of Columbia]; and

(3) for all other parties, by the law of the state where the court is located, except that:
(A) a partnership or other unincorporated association with no such capacity under that state’s law may sue or be sued in its common name to enforce a substantive right existing under the United States Constitution or laws; and

(B) 28 U.S.C. §§754 and 959(a) govern the capacity of a receiver appointed by a United States court to sue or be sued in a United States court.
[SOURCE:  https://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcp/rule_17]

A human being with no domicile within federal territory, based on the above:

1. Has no capacity to sue or be sued in federal court under the CIVIL statutes of the national government.
2. Has no “status” or “civil status” under any federal civil statute, including:
   1. “person”.
   2. “individual”.
3. Is not a statutory “citizen” under federal law such as 26 U.S.C. §3121(e) and 26 C.F.R. §1.1-1(c), but rather a statutory “non-resident non-person”.  If they are ALSO a public officer in the national government, they are also a statutory “individual” and “nonresident alien” (26 U.S.C. §7701(b)(1)(B)) in relation to the national government.
4. May STILL sue under the constitution and the common law because both of these sources of law attach to the TERRITORY rather than the “civil status” of the physical people ON that physical territory. This is, in part, because the CONSTITUTION is “self-executing” and needs no statutes to enforce:[12]:

“It is locality that is determinative of the application of the Constitution, in such matters as judicial procedure, and not the status of the people who live in it.”

[Balzac v. Porto Rico, 258 U.S. 298, 309 (1922);
SOURCE: https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=8956361016270671048]

We must emphasize at this point that the ABSENCE of a STATUTORY “civil status” is ALSO a “civil status”, but under a DIFFERENT system of law, which is that of the ORGANIC law rather than the STATUTORY law.  As an extension of your right to associate/disassociate and contract/not contract under the First Amendment, you can choose to be a CONSTITUTIONAL “PERSON” WITHOUT being a STATUTORY “PERSON”.  The state in such a case STILL has a duty to protect THAT LACK OF STATUS under the CIVIL STATUTORY LAW and to protect the right to ONLY have a “civil status” under the CONSTITUTION or the COMMON LAW:

If, in fact, “consent makes the law” per the maxims of the common law, then “consent” of the PARTY claiming OR NOT CLAIMING the “civil status” makes the CIVIL STATUTORY “PERSON” as well:

Consensus facit legem. Consent makes the law. A contract is a law between the parties, which can acquire force only by consent.
[Bouvier’s Maxims of Law, 1856; https://famguardian.org/Publications/BouvierMaximsOfLaw/BouviersMaxims.htm]

An example of a “status” that one not domiciled on federal territory cannot lawfully have is that of statutory “taxpayer” as defined in 26 U.S.C. §7701(a)(14) .  All tax liability is a CIVIL liability which attaches to a CIVIL statutory status:

TITLE 26 > Subtitle F > CHAPTER 79 > § 7701
§ 7701. Definitions

(a)When used in this title, where not otherwise distinctly expressed or manifestly incompatible with the intent thereof—

(14) Taxpayer

The term “taxpayer” means any person subject to any internal revenue tax.

In a sense then, all civil statutory law acts as the equivalent of a “protection franchise” that you have to consent to before you become party to.  “Privileges” under the protection franchise attach to the status of “citizen”.  Those who are non-residents are not parties to the franchise contract and are not bound by the franchise contract:

There is but one law which, from its nature, needs unanimous consent. This is the social compact; for civil association is the most voluntary of all acts. Every man being born free and his own master, no one, under any pretext whatsoever, can make any man subject without his consent. To decide that the son of a slave is born a slave is to decide that he is not born a man.

If then there are opponents when the social compact is made, their opposition does not invalidate the contract, but merely prevents them from being included in it. They are foreigners among citizens. When the State is instituted, residence constitutes consent; to dwell within its territory is to submit to the Sovereign.[10]

Apart from this primitive contract, the vote of the majority always binds all the rest. This follows from the contract itself. But it is asked how a man can be both free and forced to conform to wills that are not his own. How are the opponents at once free and subject to laws they have not agreed to?

I retort that the question is wrongly put. The citizen gives his consent to all the laws, including those which are passed in spite of his opposition, and even those which punish him when he dares to break any of them. The constant will of all the members of the State is the general will; by virtue of it they are citizens and free[11] . When in the popular assembly a law is proposed, what the people is asked is not exactly whether it approves or rejects the proposal, but whether it is in conformity with the general will, which is their will. Each man, in giving his vote, states his opinion on that point; and the general will is found by counting votes. When therefore the opinion that is contrary to my own prevails, this proves neither more nor less than that I was mistaken, and that what I thought to be the general will was not so. If my particular opinion had carried the day I should have achieved the opposite of what was my will; and it is in that case that I should not have been free.

This presupposes, indeed, that all the qualities of the general will still reside in the majority: when they cease to do so, whatever side a man may take, liberty is no longer possible.

In my earlier demonstration of how particular wills are substituted for the general will in public deliberation, I have adequately pointed out the practicable methods of avoiding this abuse; and I shall have more to say of them later on. I have also given the principles for determining the proportional number of votes for declaring that will. A difference of one vote destroys equality; a single opponent destroys unanimity; but between equality and unanimity, there are several grades of unequal division, at each of which this proportion may be fixed in accordance with the condition and the needs of the body politic.

There are two general rules that may serve to regulate this relation. First, the more grave and important the questions discussed, the nearer should the opinion that is to prevail approach unanimity. Secondly, the more the matter in hand calls for speed, the smaller the prescribed difference in the numbers of votes may be allowed to become: where an instant decision has to be reached, a majority of one vote should be enough. The first of these two rules seems more in harmony with the laws, and the second with practical affairs. In any case, it is the combination of them that gives the best proportions for determining the majority necessary.
[The Social Contract or Principles of Political Right, Jean Jacques Rousseau, 1762, Book IV, Chapter 2]

There is one last very important point we wish to make.  That point is that the civil statutory laws and the domicile they attach to are not the ONLY method of civilly protecting one’s rights.  Some types of civil protection do not require consent of party.  For instance, the U.S. Constitution is an example of a limitation upon government that does NOT require the express consent of those who are protected by it.

1. The USA Constitution is a “compact” or contract.
2. It establishes a public trust, which is an artificial “person” in which:
   1. The corpus of the trust is all public rights and public property.
   2. The trustees of the trust are people working in the government.
   3. All constitutional but not statutory citizens are the “beneficiaries”.
3. The parties who established this public trust are the States of the Union and the government they created.  Individual human beings are NOT party to it or trustees under it:
4. The Bill of Rights portion of the constitution attaches to LAND protected by the constitution, and NOT the civil status of people ON the land:
   

   “It is locality that is determinative of the application of the Constitution, in such matters as judicial procedure, and not the status of the people who live in it.”
   [Balzac v. Porto Rico, 258 U.S. 298 (1922)]

5. The Bill of Rights is a “self-executing” restraint upon all government officers and agents upon all those physically present but not necessarily domiciled on the land it attaches to.  Because the rights it covers are “self-executing”, no statutory civil law is needed to give them “the force of law” against any officer of the government in relation to a person physically present upon land protected by the constitution.
   

   The design of the Fourteenth Amendment has proved significant also in maintaining the traditional separation of powers 524*524 between Congress and the Judiciary. The first eight Amendments to the Constitution set forth self-executing prohibitions on governmental action, and this Court has had primary authority to interpret those prohibitions. The Bingham draft, some thought, departed from that tradition by vesting in Congress primary power to interpret and elaborate on the meaning of the new Amendment through legislation. Under it, “Congress, and not the courts, was to judge whether or not any of the privileges or immunities were not secured to citizens in the several States.” Flack, supra, at 64. While this separation-of-powers aspect did not occasion the widespread resistance which was caused by the proposal’s threat to the federal balance, it nonetheless attracted the attention of various Members. See Cong. Globe, 39th Cong., 1st Sess., at 1064 (statement of Rep. Hale) (noting that Bill of Rights, unlike the Bingham proposal, “provide[s] safeguards to be enforced by the courts, and not to be exercised by the Legislature”); id., at App. 133 (statement of Rep. Rogers) (prior to Bingham proposal it “was left entirely for the courts . . . to enforce the privileges and immunities of the citizens”). As enacted, the Fourteenth Amendment confers substantive rights against the States which, like the provisions of the Bill of Rights, are self-executing. Cf. South Carolina v. Katzenbach, 383 U.S., at 325 (discussing Fifteenth Amendment). The power to interpret the Constitution in a case or controversy remains in the Judiciary.

Those injured by the actions of the government, whether civilly domiciled there and therefore a “citizen” there OR NOT, are protected by the Bill of Rights and have standing to sue in ANY state or federal court for a violation of that right.

In confirmation of this section, examine the content of 1 U.S.C. §8:

1 U.S. Code § 8 – “Person”, “human being”, “child”, and “individual” as including born-alive infant

(a) In determining the meaning of any Act of Congress, or of any ruling, regulation, or interpretation of the various administrative bureaus and agencies of the United States, the words “person”, “human being”, “child”, and “individual”, shall include every infant member of the species homo sapiens who is born alive at any stage of development.

(b) As used in this section, the term “born alive”, with respect to a member of the species homo sapiens, means the complete expulsion or extraction from his or her mother of that member, at any stage of development, who after such expulsion or extraction breathes or has a beating heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord, or definite movement of voluntary muscles, regardless of whether the umbilical cord has been cut, and regardless of whether the expulsion or extraction occurs as a result of natural or induced labor, cesarean section, or induced abortion.

(c) Nothing in this section shall be construed to affirm, deny, expand, or contract any legal status or legal right applicable to any member of the species homo sapiens at any point prior to being “born alive” as defined in this section.

3  Effect of domicile on CIVIL STATUTORY “status”

The law of domicile is almost exclusively the means of determining one’s “civil status” under the civil statutory laws of a given territory:

§ 29. Status

It may be laid down that the ,statuts- or, as it is sometimes called, civil status, in contradistinction to political status – of a person depends largely, although not universally, upon domicil. The older jurists, whose opinions are fully collected by Story I and Burge, maintained, with few exceptions, the principle of the ubiquity of status, conferred by the lex domicilii with little qualification. Lord Westbury, in Udny v. Udny, thus states the doctrine broadly: “The civil status is governed by one single principle, namely, that of domicil, which is the criterion established by law for the purpose of determining civil status. For it is on this basis that the personal rights of the party – that is to say, the law which determines his majority and minority, his marriage, succession, testacy, or intestacy-must depend.” Gray, C. J., in the late Massachusetts case of Ross v. Ross, speaking with special reference to capacity to inherit, says: “It is a general principle that the status or condition of a person, the relation in which he stands to another person, and by which he is qualified or made capable to take certain rights in that other’s property, is fixed by the law of the domicil; and that this status and capacity are to be recognized and upheld in every other State, so far as they are not inconsistent with its own laws and policy.”
[A Treatise on the Law of Domicil, National, Quasi-National, and Municipal, M.W. Jacobs, Little, Brown, and Company, 1887, p. 89]

We have already established that civil law attaches to one’s VOLUNTARY choice of civil domicile.Civil law, in turn, enforces and thereby delivers certain “privileges” against those who are subject to it.  In that sense, the civil law acts as a voluntary franchise or “protection franchise” that is only enforceable against those who voluntarily consent to avail themselves of its “benefits” or “protections”.  Those who voluntarily and consensually avail themselves of such “benefits” and who are therefore SUBJECT to the “protection franchise” called domicile, in turn, are treated as public officers within the government under federal law, as is exhaustively established in the following memorandum:

Why Statutory Civil Law is Law for Government and not Private Persons, Form #05.037 (OFFSITE LINK) https://sedm.org/Forms/05-MemLaw/StatLawGovt.pdf

The key thing to understand about all franchises is that the Congressionally created privileges or “public rights” they enforce attach to specific STATUSES under them. An example of such statuses include:

1. “person” or “individual“.
2. “Alien”.
3. “Nonresident alien”.
4. “Driver” under the vehicle code of your state.
5. “Spouse” under the family code of your state.
6. “Taxpayer” under the Internal Revenue Code at 26 U.S.C. §7701(a)(14).
7. “Citizen”, “resident”, or “inhabitant” under the civil laws of your state.

The above civil statutory statuses:

1. Are contingent for their existence on a DOMICILE in the geographical place or territory that the law applies to. Hence, a “nonresident alien” or even “alien” civil status within the Internal Revenue Code, for instance, only applies if one is PHYSCIALLY PRESENT on federal territory or consensually domiciled there.  If you are not physically on federal territory and not domiciled there, you CANNOT be ANYTHING under the Internal Revenue Code.
2. Are TEMPORARY, because your domicile can change.
3. Extinguish when you terminate your domicile and/or your presence in that place.
4. Are the very SAME “statuses” you find on ALL government forms and applications, such as voter registrations, drivers’ license applications, marriage license applications, etc.  The purpose of filling out all such applications is to CONTRACT to PROCURE the status indicated on the form and have it RECOGNIZED by the government grantor who created the privileges you are pursuing under the civil law franchises that implement the form or application.

The ONLY way to AVOID contracting into the civil franchise if you are FORCED to fill out government forms is to:

1. Define all terms on the form in a MANDATORY attachment so as to EXCLUDE those found in any government law.  Write above your signature the following:
   

   “Not valid, false, fraudulent, and perjurious unless accompanied by the SIGNED attachment entitled __________, consisting of ___ pages.”

2. Indicate “All rights reserved, UCC-1-308” near the signature line on the application.
3. Indicate “Non assumpsit” on the application, or scribble it as your signature.
4. Indicate “duress” on the form.
5. Resubmit the form after the fact either in person or by mail fixing the application to indicate duress and withdraw your consent.
6. Ask the government accepting the application to indicate that you are not qualified because you do not consent and consent is mandatory.  Then show that denial to the person who is trying to FORCE you to apply.
7. Submit a criminal complaint against the party instituting the duress to get you to apply.
8. Notify the person instituting the unlawful duress that they are violating your rights and demand that they retract their demand for you to apply for something.

Below is an example of this phenomenon as explained by the U.S. Supreme Court:

In Udny v. Udny (1869) L. R. 1 H. L. Sc. 441, the point decided was one of inheritance, depending upon the question whether the domicile of the father was in England or in Scotland, he being in either alternative a British subject. Lord Chancellor Hatherley said: ‘The question of naturalization and of allegiance is distinct from that of domicile.‘ Page 452. Lord Westbury, in the passage relied on by the counsel for the United States, began by saying: ‘The law of England, and of almost all civilized countries, ascribes to each individual at his birth two distinct legal states or conditions,—one by virtue of which he becomes the subject [NATIONAL] of some particular country, binding him by the tie of natural allegiance, and which may be called his political status; another by virtue of which he has ascribed to him the character of a citizen of some particular country, and as such is possessed of certain municipal rights, and subject to certain obligations, which latter character is the civil status or condition of the individual, and may be quite different from his political status.‘ And then, while maintaining that the civil status is universally governed by the single principle of domicile (domicilium), the criterion established by international law for the purpose of determining civil status, and the basis on which ‘the personal rights of the party—that is to say, the law which determines his majority or minority, his marriage, succession, testacy, or intestacy— must depend,’ he yet distinctly recognized that a man’s political status, his country (patria), and his ‘nationality,—that is, natural allegiance,’—’may depend on different laws in different countries.’ Pages 457, 460. He evidently used the word ‘citizen,’ not as equivalent to ‘subject,’ but rather to ‘inhabitant’; and had no thought of impeaching the established rule that all persons born under British dominion are natural-born subjects.
[United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649, 656-657, 18 S.Ct. 456, 42 L.Ed. 890 (1898) ;
SOURCE: http://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=3381955771263111765]

The protections of the Constitution and the common law, on the other hand, attach NOT to your STATUTORY status, but to the LAND you stand on at the time you receive an injury from either the GOVERNMENT or a PRIVATE human being, respectively:

“It is locality that is determinative of the application of the Constitution, in such matters as judicial procedure, and not the status of the people who live in it.”

The thing that we wish to emphasize about this important subject are the following VERY IMPORTANT facts:

1. Your STATUS under the civil STATUTORY law is exclusively determined by the exercise of your PRIVATE, UNALIENABLE right to both contract and associate, which are protected by the First Amendment  to the United States Constitution.
2. The highest exercise of your right to sovereignty is the right to determine and enforce the STATUS you have CONSENSUALLY and VOLUNTARILY acquired under the civil laws of the community you are in.
3. Anyone who tries to associate a CIVIL statutory status with you absent your DEMONSTRATED, EXPRESS, WRITTEN consent is:

   3.1. Violating due process of law.

   3.2. STEALING property or rights to property from you. The “rights” or “public rights” that attach to the status are the measure of WHAT is being “stolen”.

   3.3 Exercising eminent domain without compensation against otherwise PRIVATE property in violation of the state constitution.  The property subject to the eminent domain are all the rights that attach to the status they are FORCING upon you.  YOU and ONLY YOU have the right to determine the compensation you are willing to accept in exchange for your private rights and private property.

   3.4. Compelling you to contract with the government that created the franchise status, because all franchises are contracts.

   3.5. Kidnapping your legal identity and moving it to a foreign state, if the STATUS they impute to you arises under the laws of a foreign state. This, in turn is an act of INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM in criminal violation of 18 U.S.C. §2331(1)(B)(iii).

4. All de jure government civil law is TERRITORIAL in nature and attaches ONLY to the territory upon which they have EXCLUSIVE or GENERAL jurisdiction. It does NOT attach and CANNOT attach to places where they have only SUBJECT matter jurisdiction, such as in states of the Union.
   

   “The canon of construction which teaches that legislation of Congress, unless a contrary intent appears, is meant to apply only within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States, Blackmer v. United States, supra, at 437, is a valid approach whereby unexpressed congressional intent may be ascertained. It is based on the assumption that Congress is primarily concerned with domestic conditions. We find nothing in the Act itself, as amended, nor in the legislative history, which would lead to the belief that Congress entertained any intention other than the normal one in this case. The situation here is different from that in Vermilya-Brown Co. v. Connell, 335 U.S. 377, where we held that by specifically declaring that the Act covered “possessions” of the United States, Congress directed that the Fair Labor Standards Act applied beyond those areas over which the United States has sovereignty and was in effect in all “possessions.” This Court concluded that the leasehold there involved was a “possession” within the meaning of the Fair Labor Standards Act.”

   “The laws of Congress in respect to those matters [outside of Constitutionally delegated powers] do not extend into the territorial limits of the states, but have force only in the District of Columbia, and other places that are within the exclusive jurisdiction of the national government.”

   “In Foley Bros. v. Filardo,[12] we had occasion to refer to the “canon of construction which teaches that legislation of Congress, unless a contrary intent appears, is meant to apply only within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States . . . .” That presumption, far from being overcome here, is doubly fortified by the language of this statute and the legislative purpose underlying it.”

5. The prerequisite to having ANY statutory STATUS under the civil law of any de jure government is a DOMICILE within the EXCLUSIVE jurisdiction of the specific government that enacted the statute.
6. You CANNOT lawfully acquire a statutory STATUS under the CIVIL laws of a foreign jurisdiction if you have:

   6.1.Never physically been present within the exclusive jurisdiction of the foreign jurisdiction.

   6.2.Never EXPRESSLY consented to be treated as a “citizen”, “resident”, or “inhabitant” within that jurisdiction, even IF physically present there.

   6.3.NOT been physically present in the foreign jurisdiction LONG ENOUGH to satisfy the residency requirements of that jurisdiction.

7. Any government that tries to REMOVE the domicile prerequisite from any of the franchises it offers by any of the following means is acting in a purely private, commercial capacity using PRIVATE and not PUBLIC LAW and the statutes then devolve essentially into an act of PRIVATE contracting.  Methods of acting in such a capacity include, but are not limited to the following devious methods by dishonest and criminal and treasonous public servants:

   7.1.Treating EVERYONE as “persons” or “individuals” under the franchise statutes, INCLUDING those outside of their territory.

   7.2.Saying that EVERYONE is eligible for the franchise, no matter where they PHYSCIALLY are, including in places OUTSIDE of their exclusive or general jurisdiction.

   7.3.Waiving the domicile prerequisite as a matter of policy, even though the statutes describing it require that those who participate must be “citizens”, “residents”, or “inhabitants” in order to participate.  The Social Security does this by unconstitutional FIAT, in order to illegally recruit more “taxpayers”.

8. When any so-called “government” waives the domicile prerequisite by the means described in the previous step, the following consequences are inevitable and MANDATORY:

   8.1.The statutes they seek to enforce are “PRIVATE LAW”.

   8.2.It is FRAUD to call the statutes “PUBLIC LAW” that applies equally to EVERYONE.

   “Municipal law, thus understood, is properly defined to be “a rule of civil conduct prescribed by the supreme power in a state, commanding what is right and prohibiting what is wrong.”

   [. . .]

   It is also called a rule to distinguish it from a compact or agreement; for a compact is a promise proceeding from us, law is a command directed to us. The language of a compact is, “I will, or will not, do this”; that of a law is, “thou shalt, or shalt not, do it.” It is true there is an obligation which a compact carries with it, equal in point of conscience to that of a law; but then the original of the obligation is different. In compacts we ourselves determine and promise what shall be done, before we are obliged to do it; in laws. we are obliged to act without ourselves determining or promising anything at all. Upon these accounts law is defined to be “a rule.”
   [Readings on the History and System of the Common Law, Roscoe Pound, Second Edition, 1925, p. 4]

   8.3.They agree to be treated on an equal footing with every other PRIVATE business.

   8.4.Their franchises are on an EQUAL footing to every other type of private franchise such as McDonalds franchise agreements.

   8.5.They implicitly waive sovereign immunity and agree to be sued in the courts within the extraterritorial jurisdiction they are illegally operating under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, 28 U.S.C. Chapter 97.  Sovereign immunity is ONLY available as a defense against DE JURE government activity in the PUBLIC interest that applies EQUALLY to any and every citizen.

   8.6.They may not enforce federal civil law against the party in the foreign jurisdiction that they are illegally offering the franchise in.

   8.7.If the foreign jurisdiction they are illegally enforcing the franchise within is subject to the constraint that the members of said community MUST be treated equally under the requirements of their constitution, then the franchise cannot make them UNEQUAL in ANY respect.  This would be discrimination and violate the fundamental law.

Consistent with the above, below is how the U.S. Supreme Court describes attempts to enforce income taxes against NONRESIDENT parties domiciled in a legislatively foreign state, such as either a state of the Union or a foreign country:

“The power of taxation, indispensable to the existence of every civilized government, is exercised upon the assumption of an equivalent rendered to the taxpayer in the protection of his person and property, in adding to the value of such property, or in the creation and maintenance of public conveniences in which he shares — such, for instance, as roads, bridges, sidewalks, pavements, and schools for the education of his children. If the taxing power be in no position to render these services, or otherwise to benefit the person or property taxed, and such property be wholly within the taxing power of another state, to which it may be said to owe an allegiance, and to which it looks for protection, the taxation of such property within the domicil of the owner partakes rather of the nature of an extortion than a tax, and has been repeatedly held by this Court to be beyond the power of the legislature, and a taking of property without due process of law. Railroad Company v. Jackson, 7 Wall. 262 ; State Tax on Foreign-Held Bonds, 15 Wall. 300; Tappan v. Merchants’ National Bank, 19 Wall. 490, 499 ; Delaware &c. R. Co. v. Pennsylvania, 198 U.S. 341, 358 . In Chicago &c. R. Co. v. Chicago, 166 U.S. 226, it was held, after full consideration, that the taking of private property [199 U.S. 203] without compensation was a denial of due process within the Fourteenth Amendment. See also Davidson v. New Orleans, 96 U.S. 97, 102; Missouri Pacific Railway v. Nebraska, 164 U.S. 403, 417; Mt. Hope Cemetery v. Boston, 158 Mass. 509, 519.“
[Union Refrigerator Transit Company v. Kentucky, 199 U.S. 194, 202-203 (1905); SOURCE: https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=14163786757633929654]

An example of how the government cannot assign the statutory status of “taxpayer” upon you per 26 U.S.C. §7701(a)(14) is found in 28 U.S.C. §2201(a), which reads:

United States Code
TITLE 28 – JUDICIARY AND JUDICIAL PROCEDURE
PART VI – PARTICULAR PROCEEDINGS
CHAPTER 151 – DECLARATORY JUDGMENTS
Sec. 2201. Creation of remedy

(a) In a case of actual controversy within its jurisdiction, except with respect to Federal taxes other than actions brought under section 7428 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, a proceeding under section 505 or 1146 of title 11, or in any civil action involving an antidumping or countervailing duty proceeding regarding a class or kind of merchandise of a free trade area country (as defined in section 516A(f)(10) of the Tariff Act of 1930), as determined by the administering authority, any court of the United States, upon the filing of an appropriate pleading, may declare the rights and other legal relations of any interested party seeking such declaration, whether or not further relief is or could be sought. Any such declaration shall have the force and effect of a final judgment or decree and shall be reviewable as such.

Consistent with the federal Declaratory Judgments Act , federal courts who have been petitioned to declare a litigant to be a “taxpayer” have declined to do so and have cited the above act as authority:

Specifically, Rowen seeks a declaratory judgment against the United States of America with respect to “whether or not the plaintiff is a taxpayer pursuant to, and/or under 26 U.S.C. §7701(a)(14).” (See Compl. at 2.) This Court lacks jurisdiction to issue a declaratory judgment “with respect to Federal taxes other than actions brought under section 7428 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,” a code section that is not at issue in the instant action. See 28 U.S.C. §2201; see also Hughes v. United States, 953 F.2d. 531, 536-537 (9th Cir. 1991)  (affirming dismissal of claim for declaratory relief under § 2201 where claim concerned question of tax liability). Accordingly, defendant’s motion to dismiss is hereby GRANTED, and the instant action is hereby DISMISSED.
[Rowen v. U.S., 05-3766MMC. (N.D.Cal. 11/02/2005)]

The implications of the above are that:

1. The federal courts have no lawful delegated authority to determine or declare whether you are a “taxpayer”.
2. If federal courts cannot directly declare you a “taxpayer”, then they also cannot do it indirectly by, for instance:

   2.1. Presuming that you are a “taxpayer”.  This is a violation of due process of law that renders a void judgment. Presumptions are not evidence and may not serve as a SUBSTITUTE for evidence.

   2.2. Calling you a “taxpayer” before you have called yourself one.

   2.3. Arguing with or penalizing you if you rebut others from calling you a “taxpayer”.

   2.4  Quoting case law as authority relating to “taxpayers” against a “nontaxpayer”.  That’s FRAUD and it also violates Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 17(b).

   2.5  Quoting case law from a franchise court in the Executive rather than Legislative branch such as the U.S. Tax Court against those who are not franchisees called “taxpayers”.

   2.6. Treating you as a “taxpayer” if you provide evidence to the contrary by enforcing any provision of the I.R.C. Subtitle A  “taxpayer” franchise agreement against you as a “nontaxpayer”.

   “They [the revenue laws] relate to taxpayers, and not to nontaxpayers. The latter are without their scope. No procedure is prescribed for nontaxpayers, and no attempt is made to annul any of their rights and remedies in due course of law. * * * [Id. 281 F. at 238.]

4 Four methods of acquiring a civil status [1]

There are four methods of lawfully acquiring a civil status:

1. Physical presence in the venue without a domicile.  This triggers common law jurisdiction.  If the venue is protected by the constitution, it also triggers constitutional jurisdiction.
2. Physical presence WITH a consensual domicile.  This triggers civil statutory jurisdiction.  If the venue is protected by the constitution, it also triggers constitutional jurisdiction.
3. Not physically present in the venue but purposefully and consensually doing business in the venue.  This triggers common law jurisdiction.  This ordinarily does NOT trigger constitutional jurisdiction, even if the venue is protected by the constitution.
4. Not physically present in the venue but domiciled in the venue.  This triggers statutory jurisdiction.  This ordinarily does NOT trigger constitutional jurisdiction, even if the venue is protected by the constitution.

Those who don’t fit any of the criteria must be considered by the civil courts to be:

1. “nonresidents”.
2. “transient foreigners”.
3. “stateless” but not civil statutory “persons”.
4. “in transitu”.
5. “transient”.
6. “sojourner”.
7. “civilly dead”.

Below is a table summarizing the above:
Table 4:  Four method of acquiring civil status

#	Physically present in venue?	Civil Domicile?	Common law jurisdiction?	Constitutional protections?	Civil statutory jurisdiction?	Consent implied?
1	Yes	No	Yes	Yes	No	No
2	Yes	Yes	No	Yes	Yes	Yes (domicile)
3	No	No	Yes	No	No	No
4	No	Yes	No	No	Yes	Yes (domicile)

NOTES:

1. Constitutional protection attaches to land and not to the civil status of the people physically ON that land.
   

   “It is locality that is determinative of the application of the Constitution, in such matters as judicial procedure, and not the status of the people who live in it.”
   
   [Balzac v. Porto Rico, 258 U.S. 298, 309 (1922); SOURCE: https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=8956361016270671048]

2. Common law jurisdiction is the default law system applying equally to all in the absence of express or implied consent of the party.  See:
   
   

   Wikipedia:  Civil Law (legal system) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_law_(legal_system)

3. Domicile and civil statutory protection are synonymous. See Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 17(b).
4. Domicile and common law jurisdiction are mutually exclusive and cannot exist in the same place at the same time.  This is because domicile is consensual and anything you consent to cannot form the basis for a common law injury:
   

   “Volunti non fit injuria.
   
   He who consents cannot receive an injury. 2 Bouv. Inst. n. 2279, 2327; 4 T. R. 657; Shelf. on mar. & Div. 449.

   Consensus tollit errorem.
   
   Consent removes or obviates a mistake. Co. Litt. 126.

   Melius est omnia mala pati quam malo concentire.
   
   It is better to suffer every wrong or ill, than to consent to it. 3 Co. Inst. 23.

   Nemo videtur fraudare eos qui sciunt, et consentiunt.
   
   One cannot complain of having been deceived when he knew the fact and gave his consent. Dig. 50, 17, 145.”
   
   [Bouvier’s Maxims of Law, 1856;
   SOURCE:  http://famguardian.org/Publications/BouvierMaximsOfLaw/BouviersMaxims.htm]

5. Accepting a “benefit” or claiming the “benefit” of a civil statute while physically outside the venue but domiciled there causes a waiver of constitutional rights in the context of ONLY the statutes administering the “benefit”, if the granting authority is not physically located on land protected by the Constitution.  The District of Columbia, by the way, IS protected by the constitution.  See Downes v. Bidwell, 182 U.S. 244, 251, 21 S.Ct. 770, 773, 45 L.Ed. 1088 (1901).
   

   The Court developed, for its own governance in the cases confessedly within its jurisdiction, a series of rules under which it has avoided passing upon a large part of all the constitutional questions pressed upon it for decision. They are:
   
   [. . .]6. The Court will not pass upon the constitutionality of a statute at the instance of one who has availed himself of its benefits.FN7 Great Falls Mfg. Co. v. Attorney General, 124 U.S. 581, 8 S.Ct. 631, 31 L.Ed. 527; Wall v. Parrot Silver & Copper Co., 244 U.S. 407, 411, 412, 37 S.Ct. 609, 61 L.Ed. 1229; St. Louis Malleable Casting Co. v. Prendergast Construction Co., 260 U.S. 469, 43 S.Ct. 178, 67 L.Ed. 351.FOOTNOTES:

6. You CANNOT accept a statutory “benefit” without a domicile in the location granting the benefit.
   1. This is because you cannot claim the benefit without a civil status there and you can’t have a civil status WITHOUT a domicile:
      

      “There are certain general principles which control the disposition of this case. They are, in the main, well settled; the difficulty lies in their application to the particular facts of the case in hand. It is elementary that “every state has an undoubted right to determine the status, or domestic and social condition, of the persons domiciled within its territory, except in so far as the powers of the states in this respect are restrained, or duties and obligations imposed upon them by the constitution of the United States.” Strader v. Graham, 10 How. 93. Again, the civil status is governed universally by one single principle, namely, that of domicile, which is the criterion established by law for the purpose of determining the civil status; for it is on this basis that the personal rights of a party, — that is to say, the law which determines his majority or minority, his marriage, succession, testacy, or intestacy, — must depend. Udny v. Udny, L.R., 1 H. L. Sc. 457.
      [Woodward v. Woodward, 11 S.W. 892, 87 Tenn. 644 (Tenn., 1889)]

      “domicile.  A person’s legal home.  That place where a man has his true, fixed, and permanent home and principal establishment, and to which whenever he is absent he has the intention of returning.  Smith v. Smith, 206 Pa.Super. 310, 213 A.2d. 94.  Generally, physical presence within a state and the intention to make it one’s home are the requisites of establishing a “domicile” therein.  The permanent residence of a person or the place to which he intends to return even though he may actually reside elsewhere.  A person may have more than one residence but only one domicile.  The legal domicile of a person is important since it, rather than the actual residence, often controls the jurisdiction of the taxing authorities and determines where a person may exercise the privilege of voting and other legal rights and privileges.“
      [Black’s Law Dictionary, Sixth Edition, p. 485]

   2. A government that offers or enforces a “benefit” to nonresidents with no domicile is a DE FACTO government as described in:
      

      De Facto Government Scam, Form #05.043 (OFFSITE LINK) https://sedm.org/Forms/05-MemLaw/DeFactoGov.pdf

7. You have a common law right to NOT receive or pay for a “benefit” or to terminate eligibility of a “benefit” you previously consented to at any time.  You also have a right to define HOW you consent to receive the benefit and can specify how that consent is procured.
   

   Cujus est commodum ejus debet esse incommodum.
   
   He who receives the benefit should also bear the disadvantage.

   Que sentit commodum, sentire debet et onus.
   
   He who derives a benefit from a thing, ought to feel the disadvantages attending it. 2 Bouv. Inst. n. 1433.

   Hominum caus jus constitutum est.
   
   Law is established for the benefit of man.

   Injuria propria non cadet in beneficium facientis.
   
   One’s own wrong shall not benefit the person doing it.

   Privatum incommodum publico bono peusatur.
   
   Private inconvenience is made up for by public benefit.

   “Invito beneficium non datur.
   
   No one is obliged to accept a benefit against his consent. Dig. 50, 17, 69. But if he does not dissent he will be considered as assenting. Vide Assent.

   Non videtur consensum retinuisse si quis ex praescripto minantis aliquid immutavit.
   
   He does not appear to have retained his consent, if he have changed anything through the means of a party threatening. Bacon’s Max. Reg. 33.”

5. How to use this information to lawfully avoid income tax on a tax return

We define a “non-person” at:

Website Definitions, Section 25: “non-person” or “non-resident non-person”
https://ftsig.org/advanced/definitions/#25._Non

The following form demonstrates how to apply this information to lawfully avoiding income tax on a 1040-NR return as an American National and a “non-person” by virtue of not being privileged:

1040-NR Attachment, Form #09.077
https://sedm.org/Forms/09-Procs/1040NR-Attachment.pdf

Below is language from that form implementing the information on this article on the part of an American National who is a “nonresident alien” and a “non-person” to avoid becoming a privileged “nonresident alien INDIVIDUAL”:

1. Section 2: Purpose for Submitting this Return

The main purpose of why I am submitting this return is to:

[. . .]

5. Exercise my right of absolute ownership over myself and my exclusively PRIVATE property and my right to LEGALLY AND POLITICALLY DISASSOCIATE by defining all terms in all communications between us in the past, present, and future which might adversely affect the exercise of that absolute ownership and to exclude all statutory definitions.  The ability to write definitions affecting property ownership REQUIRES an ownership interest  in said property.  Your burden of proof before your legal definitions or CIVIL laws can lawfully apply is that I consensually donated any part of that ownership to you as described in section 11 later.  Otherwise, you are STEALING by exceeding your delegated authority under Article 4, Section 3, Clause 2 and 5 U.S.C. §301.  Nothing described in any communication with, to, our about me or my property is created or organized or protected under any of your statutes (per 26 U.S.C. §7701(a)(4)) and therefore is entirely FOREIGN, PRIVATE, and protected only by the constitution, equity, and the common law and not the CIVIL STATUTORY law as described in Choice of Law, Form #01.010; https://sedm.org/Litigation/01-General/ChoiceOfLaw.pdf. 

2. Section 5: Blocks 1 to 15: INCOME EFFECTIVELY CONNECTED WITH U.S. TRADE/BUSINESS

7. Public positions, offices, or statutory statuses are government property, and there is no doubt that their government Creator and Owner has jurisdiction over them wherever they are LAWFULLY (per 4 U.S.C. §72) exercised under Constitution Article 4, Section 3, Clause 2.  It is my understanding, however that:

7.1. It is a criminal offense in violation of 18 U.S.C. §912 to unilaterally “elect” oneself into public offices or a “trade or business” in pursuit government privileges from a legislatively foreign jurisdiction without a lawful oath or appointment in conformance with Title 5 of the U.S. Code.

7.2. One must be lawfully elected or appointed by someone ELSE under Title 5 BEFORE they can pursue benefits or privileges as a public officer subject to federal regulation.

7.3. It is a crime to BRIBE the government with taxes or withholdings (as a nontaxpayer and private party) so as to be treated AS IF they are a public officer engaged in the “trade or business” franchise who is therefore eligible for said benefits or privileges.  18 U.S.C. §210. 

7.4. I also deny you the ability to treat me AS IF I am the government “employee” or office (20 C.F.R. is “employees benefits” and is the authority for issuing SSNs).  Any identifying numbers provided are not a statutory Social Security number 20 C.F.R. §422.103 and instead are replaced with a PRIVATELY created and issued and owned number under my own substitute franchise and license agreement constraining your authority in this instance.  See Injury Defense Franchise and Agreement, Form #06.027; https://sedm.org/Forms/06-AvoidingFranch/InjuryDefenseFranchise.pdf.

3. Section 7: SCHEDULE NEC INFORMATION

7.  Because a grant is involved here and because I owe you nothing that I didn’t grant (with legal strings) for this time period, then I am the only one who can define the terms of our relationship as the Merchant/Seller under U.C.C. §2-104(1).  On this subject, the U.S. Supreme Court held: “It is hardly lack of due process for the Government to regulate that which it subsidizes.” Wickard v. Filburn, 317 U.S. 111 (1942).  This requirement goes BOTH ways under the concept of equal protection and equal treatment, so I am doing the subsidizing and regulating in this case.  These considerations create the obligations described in Injury Defense Franchise and Agreement; https://sedm.org/Forms/06-AvoidingFranch/InjuryDefenseFranchise.pdf.  These obligations merely ensure that you do not use any of my personal information or private property for a commercial purpose that benefits anyone but me and that you leave me alone (justice) and stop trying to steal God’s property that I am in stewardship of through deception and words of art.

4. Section 9: WARNING NOT TO IMPOSE PENALTIES FOR UNDERSTATEMENT OF INCOME OR FRIVOLOUS RETURN

5.  For the purposes of this submission, the Submitter does not consent to become nor satisfy the definition of “person” found in 26 U.S.C. §6671(b) or 26 U.S.C. §7343 and may therefore not be civilly penalized or criminally prosecuted in connection with this submission.  If the recipient believes otherwise, please provide court admissible proof of claim signed under penalty of perjury (as required by 26 U.S.C. §6065) consistent with the Rules of Statutory Construction and Interpretation so that I may receive constitutionally required “reasonable notice” that I am expressly included as a target for penalties as a nonresident party.  These rules forbid adding things to statutory definitions not expressly stated.  See Stenberg v. Carhart, 530 U.S. 914 (2000).  Admittedly, I would have to be consensually engaged in the “trade or business” franchise as a lawfully elected or appointed officer or statutory “employee” on official duty for these penalties to even apply, and I do not satisfy this criteria in the capacity of this submission or any of my earnings during this reporting period.  It is my understanding that:

5.1. It is illegal to “elect” myself into a public office unilaterally by filling out any tax form and doing so violates 18 U.S.C. §912.

5.2. It is illegal to act or consent to act as a public officer or agent outside the District of Columbia as required by 4 U.S.C. §72 without EXPRESS statutory authorization, which I have been unable to locate after years of searching.

5.3.  Any attempt BY YOU, the recipient of this correspondence or the attached 1040-NR return, to treat or penalize me AS IF I am a statutory “person” under 26 U.S.C. §6671(b) for penalties or 26 U.S.C. §7343 is hereby reported IN ADVANCE as an act of criminal identity theft on your part for which the following form shall be incorporated herein by reference.  Identity Theft Affidavit, Form #14.020; https://sedm.org/Forms/14-PropProtection/Identity_Theft_Affidavit-f14039.pdf.  I don’t dispute that voluntary fictional franchise statuses made “liable to” tax such as “U.S. persons” (26 U.S.C. §7701(a)(30)) are “persons”, but I do not claim that voluntary status as a nonresident alien not engaged in a “trade or business” and therefore may not directly be the target of civil enforcement against “person”.  Only by pursuing the PRIVILEGE of deductions in 26 U.S.C. §873, which I do not do here, does the I.R.C. identify “nationals of the United States” as “individuals” and therefore “persons”.  Thus, pursuit of public privileges results in a civil “person” election and a waiver of sovereign immunity.

6.  I do NOT claim that I am exempt or excluded from tax because of my civil status, whether citizen, resident, nonresident alien, taxpayer, person, etc.  Instead, I claim that any civil status mentioned in the Internal Revenue Code to which civil statutory obligations DIRECTLY attach must be VOLUNTARY and avoidable, because the Thirteenth Amendment outlaws involuntary servitude everywhere in the COUNTRY, not just within states of the Union, and because of the First Amendment right of freedom from compelled LEGAL association.  International laws also outlaw human trafficking and slavery everywhere in the WORLD.  The only civil status to which civil statutory obligations do NOT DIRECTLY attach is that of “nonresident alien” not engaged in a “trade or business”.  As a free man or woman who does not consent to be a slave or a peon (paying off endless mountains of public debt) or a victim of human trafficking, that is the only civil status I can reasonably consent to without violating my duties as God’s Full Time Trustee.  1 Cor. 7:23.  It would be fraud to claim otherwise.  See the following for exhaustive proof that civil statutory obligations (and taxation that implements them) are voluntary and avoidable: Lawfully Avoiding Government Obligations Course; https://sedm.org/LibertyU/AvoidGovernmentObligations.pdf.

5. Section 12: SIMPLIFIED SUMMARY OF MY POSITION

1. You have a difficult job and it is not my intention to make extra work for you through this submission.  I have taken great care to make this submission as short and succinct and non-repetitive as possible to simplify your work.  At the same time, because there could conceivably very serious and even criminal consequences for mistakes or errors, I am forced to make it longer than I would like in order to explain my understanding of the law to deflect any possibility of mens rea or misunderstandings.  Thank you for taking the time to consider this information carefully, because it is probably deliberately not explained to you as part of your employee training program.
2. 26 U.S.C. §7701(a)(4) defines “domestic” as “created or organized under the laws of the United States”.  The partnership mentioned there is a partnership between those seeking federal privileges/benefits and those dispensing them as a bare minimum.  I emphasize that I seek NO privileges/benefits, deductions, credits, or refunds and don’t need them because all my earnings are excluded, private, and foreign.  And, I claim the “benefit” of NONE of your laws, because all terms defined in this submission are created and defined by me and organized in my OWN laws that constrain this interaction in:  Injury Defense Franchise and Agreement, Form #06.027; https://sedm.org/Forms/06-AvoidingFranch/InjuryDefenseFranchise.pdf.  As the SOLE and absolute owner of myself and all my property, I delegate NO authority to anyone else to organize, regulate, or tax me or my property.  To allow otherwise would be a “tacit procuration” and a “domestic election” to become chattel property of the national government, which I do not consent to.  Thus I and my property remain FOREIGN and PRIVATE and protected ONLY by the constitution, the common law, the criminal law and not civil statutory law.
3. Income taxation is the institutionalized process of lawfully and consensually converting PRIVATE, constitutionally protected property to PUBLIC property.  That consent must be expressed in a form that only the absolute owner of the property can prescribe, which in this case is WRITING signed by both parties and not just by me.
4. Per the Declaration of Independence, governments are established to PROTECT mainly PRIVATE property.  The first step in that protection is to LEAVE IT ALONE and not tax or regulate it unless it is used to INJURE someone.  Legal “justice” itself is defined as the right to be left alone, in fact.  See What is “Justice”?, Form #05.050; https://sedm.org/Forms/05-MemLaw/WhatIsJustice.pdf.
5. Absolute ownership of property is the origin of the right to create or enforce civil legal definitions that affect the use, control, benefit, or enjoyment of property.  See Article 4, Section 3, Clause 2 of the Constitution, which is the origin of most of your civil legislative authority.
   5.1. That authority can come from NO OTHER SOURCE.
   5.2. To say that there is no such authority is to say that there is no legitimate government, because this authority is the foundation of civil government itself:  Protection of private property.An important extension of that right is the absolute control of the owner over the choice of law and the choice of forum in which to PROTECT his or her or its ownership interest. 
   5.3. Courts are just “weapons” used by the owner to defend his natural right of ownership and the owner is the only one who can choose those weapons.  To deprive the owner of property of any of the above weapons or to constrain how he or she defends it or uses it is to literally TAKE the property.
6. It is a direct interference by Congress with my constitutional right to not contract and not associate to make itself a party to any commercial transaction between two otherwise PRIVATE parties absent their express consent which I do not give.  Thus, the only thing Congress can tax under I.R.C. Subtitles A and C are either two expressly consenting private parties or transactions in which it is the PAYOR and has a reserved property interest in the transaction that continues AFTER the property is received, such as 26 U.S.C. §871(a)(3) and in the case of Social Security.
7. No one but me as the human absolute owner of my constitutionally protected PRIVATE property and of MYSELF can lawfully consent to convert that property from PRIVATE to PUBLIC or to make it a LAWFUL target of ADMINISTRATIVE enforcement.  No third party, withholding agent, or party filing information returns has the legal authority to do it on my behalf and if they do, they are STEALING.  Information returns are “lay legal opinions” that cannot and do not document a CONSENSUAL conversion from PRIVATE to PUBLIC, especially when they are contested as in this case.  The property subject to tax must be lawfully and consensually and expressly and knowingly converted BY ME from PRIVATE to PUBLIC IN WRITING before an income tax can even lawfully be assessed or the property can be targeted for administrative enforcement.  The use of an identifying number in connection with any of my property shall NOT be interpreted as consent to “effectively connect” said property to a “trade or business under 26 C.F.R. §301.6109-1(b) or to interpret the number as a STATUTORY SSN or TIN.  Rather, it is a PRIVATE number which, if used by you for ADMINISTRATIVE enforcement shall constitute your consent to the Injury Defense Franchise and Agreement, Form #06.027; https://sedm.org/Forms/06-AvoidingFranch/InjuryDefenseFranchise.pdf.
8. The consensual conversion of my absolutely owned, constitutionally protected property from PRIVATE to PUBLIC requires a lawful “election” to convert either:
   8.1. MY civil status from PRIVATE to PUBLIC (“nonresident alien” to “U.S. person” 26 U.S.C. §7701(a)(30)) or
   8.2. The status of my property from PRIVATE to PUBLIC by connecting it to a “trade or business” (public office) under 26 U.S.C. §7701(a)(26) by calling it “effectively connected” and thereby donating it to a public use, a public purpose, and/or a public office.
   I emphatically consent to NEITHER of the above in this case or ANY case.
9. Congress has constitutionally delegated authority to “make needful rules”, meaning CIVIL STATUTES that regulate, tax, or control only its own absolutely owned property Article 4, Section 3, Clause 2 of the constitution.  There is no expressly delegated authority over OTHER people’s absolutely owned PRIVATE property, so that authority is purposefully excluded and they have to leave private property alone and not tax or regulate it.  Article 4, Section 3, Clause 2 authority is expressly delegated to the Secretary of the Treasury in 5 U.S.C. §301 ONLY for offices and property WITHIN his department, none which includes me or my property.  That authority is exercised in 26 C.F.R. Part 301 for the Secretary’s own personnel and property ONLY. Before Congress can regulate or tax property OUTSIDE the Treasury Department, I as the PRIVATE owner have to convert it to PUBLIC property through a lawful election or appointment by knowingly requesting and actually accepting a privilege as PUBLIC property, which I DO NOT consent to do.
10. I am also not in possession or custody of any PUBLIC property which might give rise to an equitable obligation to “return” it or some portion of its value to its rightful owner, with or without a liability statute.  Congress has never provided constitutionally required “reasonable notice” to me that any of the monies it might have paid me have a RESERVED PUBLIC property interest in it that might give rise to a power to regulate or tax ONLY the property they paid me, such as 26 U.S.C. §871(a)(3), or the 1939 Internal Revenue Code Section 22(a).  Absent such constitutionally required “reasonable notice”, it’s perfectly reasonable for me to conclude that everything in my possession or control is my absolutely owned private property not subject to regulation or taxation.  It must therefore be LEFT ALONE as a matter of justice itself, which is legally defined as the right to be LEFT ALONE.
11. In the absence of my express consent to convert anything I own from PRIVATE to PUBLIC manifested in a form that only I can define:
    11.1 I just like Congress in Article 4, Section 3, Clause 2 have the EQUAL right to “make all needful rules” for those in possession, use, or benefit of my absolutely owned, CONSTITUTIONALLY protected PRIVATE property, which I do in the case of all withholdings or payments sent to you, since I never consented to convert them. 
    11.2. The same thing applies to any and all demands you place upon my time, services, or other property in ILLEGALLY enforcing against me or refusing to “RETURN” property in your WRONGFUL custody that arrived there by mistake or duress as in the case of this filing.  The terms of the grant of such STOLEN property are found in the following bailment agreement:  Injury Defense Franchise and Agreement, Form #06.027; https://sedm.org/Forms/06-AvoidingFranch/InjuryDefenseFranchise.pdf.
12. All of my PRIVATE property in your temporary possession that arrived in your hands by mistake or duress or deception on your part, including that described in this filing, makes you a “bailee”, a “transferee”, a “trustee” who has an equitable and implied duty to “return” all such property or its economic value to me, even WITHOUT a statute mandating doing so.  See California Civil Code, Section 2224 (involuntary trusts), Gordon v. U.S., 227 Ct.Cl. 328, 649 F.2d. 867 (1981), and Bull v. United States, 295 U.S. 247, 261, 55 S.Ct. 695, 700, 79 L.Ed. 1421 (1935). 
    12.1. The bailment agreement in this case mandated by me as the absolute owner of the PRIVATE property in question is Form #06.027 indicated in the previous step.
    12.2. I don’t even need to be a statutory “taxpayer” for this to happen, and I don’t accept or consent to the Internal Revenue Code as a SUBSTITUTE bailment agreement that might change the choice of law.  I make all the “rules” and “laws” when it comes to my absolutely owned PRIVATE property, JUST like you make all the laws dealing with PUBLIC property.  See:  Choice of Law; https://sedm.org/Litigation/01-General/ChoiceOfLaw.pdf . 
    12.3. Therefore, under principles of equity you have an obligation to “return” my STOLEN money or be subject to enforcement under the above bailment agreement!  The only way to avoid enforcement under the Injury Defense Franchise and Agreement, Form #06.027 bailment contract above is to “RETURN” my absolutely owned PRIVATE property under my terms, just like you do with your property under YOUR civil statutory terms.  NONE of YOUR PUBLIC property is involved so you have no authority to control, tax, or regulate the property that is the subject of this submission, since it has not been used to injure anyone.
13. Congress has never expressly:
    13.1. Defined statutory “gross income” in 26 U.S.C. §61 as expressly including my private human labor.  It does describe “compensation for services”, but only when my services are sold by OTHERS are for profit.  I don’t consent to labor for you for free and forcing me to do so or to pay income tax on my labor is slavery in violation of the Thirteenth Amendment.
    13.2. Defined “trade or business” in 26 U.S.C. §7701(a)(26) to expressly include PRIVATE activities within the states mentioned in the Constitution. 
    13.3. Defined the geographical “United States” in 26 U.S.C. §7701(a)(9) and (a)(10) to include the exclusive jurisdiction of states of the mentioned in the Constitution.  26 C.F.R. §301.7701(b)-2(b) and 26 C.F.R. §301.7701-7 both EXCLUDE states of the Union, in fact.
    13.4. Defined the geographical “States” or “the States” in 26 U.S.C. §7701(a)(10) or 4 U.S.C. §110(d) to include the exclusive jurisdiction of the states mentioned in the Constitution.
    13.5. Defined the civil statutory “person” against whom civil or criminal enforcement may be made under 26 U.S.C. §6671(b) and 26 U.S.C. §7343 respectively to expressly include a mere private human being who is not a public federal instrumentality by consent and I don’t consent.
    13.5. Imposed a statutory liability to pay income tax under 26 U.S.C. Subtitle A or C against anything other than withholding agents paying “nonresident aliens” in 26 U.S.C. §1461 which I am not.  26 C.F.R. §1.1-1(a) uses “liable to” but not “liable for” in order to impose a valid statutory liability.  The Secretary of the Treasury in writing this regulation to include “liable to” also exceeded the scope of the statute in doing so and thus even this is not a valid liability.  Neither does 26 U.S.C. §6012 impose a NEW liability, but only recognizes the common law requirement that property wrongfully in one’s custody must return it to its rightful owner as already indicated herein.  These facts are proven in item 17.1 of this section below.
    13.6. Authorized a nonresident alien such as myself to make an election to be treated AS IF they are a “U.S. person” in any scenario OTHER than when they are married to a “U.S. Citizen” under 26 U.S.C.§6013(g) and (h) or abroad (Cook v. Tait, 265 U.S. 47 (1924)).  I am either not married or the person I am married to is not such a party because they are a nonresident alien whether they realize it or not.  I also am not ABROAD (foreign country other than a state of the Union) either.
14. Under the Rules of Statutory Construction and interpretation, everything not expressly defined or legislatively created by you is purposefully excluded.  My domicile and location during this taxing period clearly place me and my property OUTSIDE of ALL of the above and therefore EXCLUDED but not statutorily “EXEMPT” (privileged).  “When a statute includes an explicit definition, we must follow that definition, even if it varies from that term’s ordinary meaning. Meese v. Keene, 481 U.S. 465, 484-485 (1987) (“It is axiomatic that the statutory definition of the term excludes unstated meanings of that term”); Colautti v. Franklin, 439 U.S. at 392-393, n. 10 (“As a rule, `a definition which declares what a term “means” . . . excludes any meaning that is not stated'”); Western Union Telegraph Co. v. Lenroot, 323 U.S. 490, 502 (1945); Fox v. Standard Oil Co. of N.J., 294 U.S. 87, 95-96 (1935) (Cardozo, J.); see also 2A N. Singer, Sutherland on Statutes and Statutory Construction § 47.07, p. 152, and n. 10 (5th ed. 1992) (collecting cases). That is to say, the statute, read “as a whole,” post at 998 (THOMAS, J., dissenting), leads the reader to a definition. That definition does not include the Attorney General’s restriction — “the child up to the head.” Its words, “substantial portion,” indicate the contrary.” [Stenberg v. Carhart, 530 U.S. 914 (2000)]
15. The constitutional requirement for “reasonable notice” mandates that I must have clear and unambiguous NOTICE that I am “expressly included” in any of the groups targeted for tax or that my PRIVATE property is included.  I have received NO SUCH NOTICE.  See:
    15.1. Requirement for Reasonable Notice, Form #05.022;
    https://sedm.org/Forms/05-MemLaw/ReasonableNotice.pdf.
    15.2. Challenging Jurisdiction Workbook, Form #09.082;
    https://sedm.org/Forms/09-Procs/ChalJurWorkbook.pdf.
16. Under the separation of powers, judges are not legislators and thus are not constitutionally authorized to add things to statutory definitions that do not expressly appear to solve any of the above constitutionally fatal infirmities within the Internal Revenue Code.  No court case cite you might try to provide can therefore solve ANY of the above problems, so don’t even bother.
17. If any of the above laws or facts are unclear to you or the jury you shall inevitably have to explain your behavior to if you don’t do what I’m asking, the following presentations summarizes them and will serve as my “jury entertainment package”.  I shall relish presenting this information to the jury:
