INTERNAL and EXTERNAL, DOMESTIC and FOREIGN terms
The purpose of this article is to clarify standards surrounding the context and use of the terms INTERNAL, EXTERNAL, DOMESTIC, and FOREIGN. As we frequently say, the THREE things controlling the meaning of words, like in real estate, are always CONTEXT, CONTEXT, and CONTEXT. Much confusion results from not understanding how these terms are used on this site and by the government it describes.
1. Constitutional terms
1. The constitution is a POLITICAL document.
2. The constitution imposes no obligations against anyone OUTSIDE the government.
3. The terms “State” and “United States” as used in the constitution are political entities.
4. To be a “government”, according to Scotus, you must have a body politic and a body corporate.
5. The body politic is “the State”, which is sovereign.
6. The body corporate is the government corporation. The body corporate WORKS for the body politic.
7. All political entities consist of the following three mandatory components:
7.1. People.
7.2. Territory.
7.3. Government (body corporate) implemented with laws.
8. The geographic sense of “State” and “United States” as used in the constitution is used mainly to filter out the territories and possessions from the operation of Constitutional taxation. Then, of those remaining (candidate) citizens, they all sign up for a government (D.C.-domestic) franchise with subject matter/property interests around the globe.
9. Franchises capture the body politic INSIDE the body corporate. Franchises include the ENTIRE civil code and all government benefits and entitlements. At that point, you end up with a de facto government.

2. POLITICAL v. CIVIL status
1. POLITICAL status:
1.1. Relates to nationality and allegiance and NOT domicile.
1.2. Is nongeographical.
2. CIVIL status:
2.1. Relates to domicile and NOT nationality.
2.2. Is always geographical.
3. Meaning of “INTERNAL”:
1. The tax code is called the “INTERNAL” Revenue Code:
2. Tax collection is handled by the “INTERNAL” (to the government corporation) Revenue Service: It collects taxes against civil franchise offices WITHIN the government corporation and not against PRIVATE people unless they volunteer to BECOME PUBLIC/DOMESTIC. See:
| Origins and Authority of the Internal Revenue Service, Form #05.005 https://sedm.org/Forms/05-MemLaw/OrigAuthIRS.pdf |
3. The INTERNAL Revenue Service is a BUREAU rather than an AGENCY within the Department of the Treasury: Bureaus serve ONLY other agencies and are not supposed to interact directly with the public.
4. There are no enforcement implementing regulations. Statutes may only be enforced against government officers by default and not the general public WITHOUT implementing regulations. See:
| Challenging Jurisdiction Workbook, Form #09.082 https://sedm.org/Forms/09-Procs/ChalJurWorkbook.pdf |
4. Meaning of “EXTERNAL”:
1. The term “external” is used in its CONSTITUTIONAL sense as being OUTSIDE the CONSTITUTIONAL “United States****”.
2. A synonym for EXTERNAL in the case of foreign nationals is INTERNATIONAL.
3. An example of an EXTERNAL jurisdiction is Puerto Rico, which, like all territories and possessions, is identified as a “foreign country” in 26 C.F.R. §301.7701(b)-2(b) .
26 CFR § 301.7701(b)-2 – Closer connection exception.
(b) Foreign country.
For purposes of section 7701(b) and the regulations thereunder, the term “foreign country” when used in a geographical sense includes any territory under the sovereignty of the United Nations or a government other than that of the United States. It includes the territorial waters of the foreign country (determined in accordance with the laws of the United States), and the seabed and subsoil of those submarine areas which are adjacent to the territorial waters of the foreign country and over which the foreign country has exclusive rights, in accordance with international law, with respect to the exploration and exploitation of natural resources. It also includes the possessions and territories of the United States.
4. This context is NOT synonymous with “foreign” in the Internal Revenue Code, because that term encompasses BOTH foreign countries and Constitutional states of the Union. “Foreign” in a statutory context really means outside the CORPORATION, not outside any geography.
5. Government
1. All governments are corporations per Ngiraingas v. Sanchez, 495 U.S. 182 (1990) and Proprietors of Charles River Bridge v. Proprietors of Warren Bridge, 36 U.S. 420 (1837).
2. Government is just a collection of property and offices. Since offices are a creation of government and property, then government itself is just a collection of PUBLIC property. The Constitution is just a trust indenture designed to MANAGE that property as the CORPUS of the trust.
3. Because governments are corporations, they are ALSO a franchise, because all corporations are franchises:
FRANCHISE. A special privilege conferred by government on individual or corporation, and which does not belong to citizens of country generally of common right. Elliott v. City of Eugene, 135 Or. 108, 294 P. 358, 360. In England it is defined to be a royal privilege in the hands of a subject.
A “franchise,” as used by Blackstone in defining quo warranto, (3 Com. 262 [4th Am. Ed.] 322), had reference to a royal privilege or branch of the king’s prerogative subsisting in the hands of the subject, and must arise from the king’s grant, or be held by prescription, but today we understand a franchise to be some special privilege conferred by government on an individual, natural or artificial, which is not enjoyed by its citizens in general. State v. Fernandez, 106 Fla. 779, 143 So. 638, 639, 86 A.L.R. 240.
In this country a franchise is a privilege or immunity of a public nature, which cannot be legally exercised without legislative grant. To be a corporation is a franchise. The various powers conferred on corporations are franchises. The execution of a policy of insurance by an insurance company [e.g. Social Insurance/Socialist Security], and the issuing a bank note by an incorporated bank [such as a Federal Reserve NOTE], are franchises. People v. Utica Ins. Co.. 15 Johns., N.Y., 387, 8 Am.Dec. 243. But it does not embrace the property acquired by the exercise of the franchise. Bridgeport v. New York & N. H. R. Co., 36 Conn. 255, 4 Arn.Rep. 63. Nor involve interest in land acquired by grantee. Whitbeck v. Funk, 140 Or. 70, 12 P.2d. 1019, 1020. In a popular sense, the political rights of subjects and citizens are franchises, such as the right of suffrage. etc. Pierce v. Emery, 32 N.H. 484; State v. Black Diamond Co., 97 Ohio St. 24, 119 N.E. 195, 199, L.R.A. 1918E, 352.
[Black’s Law Dictionary, 4th Edition, pp. 786-787]
4. If you work as an agent of the government by consent or contract, you are INSIDE the government, PUBLIC, and therefore DOMESTIC.
5. If you have no contracts or agreements or agency with the government and receive not privileges or public property from them, you are OUTSIDE the government, PRIVATE, and FOREIGN.
6. Meaning of “United States”:
1. “United States50” in 26 U.S.C. §7701(a)(9) is the constitutional jurisdiction to impose INDIRECT EXCISE taxes upon PUBLIC property under Constitution Article 1, Section 8, Clause 1, where excise taxes can be CONSTITUTIONALLY levied.
2. This area is geographical and is the same as “United States***” and United States50.
3. This area, however is NOT “domestic” from a STATUTORY perspective because 26 U.S.C. §7701(a)(4) is not geographical. It is rather LEGAL/CORPORATE.
4. 26 U.S.C. §2209 identifies people in Puerto Rico as nonresident aliens by virtue of their location being outside the constitutional United States50 in 26 U.S.C. §7701(a)(9), even though they are otherwise listed in 26 C.F.R. §1.1-1(c) as POLITICAL/TERRITORIAL “citizens*”.
5. 26 U.S.C. §7701(a)(9) is not a CIVIL jurisdiction, because civil is based on domicile. But:
5.1. If it included Fourteenth Amendment POLITICAL/CONSTITUTIONAL “citizens of the United States50”, they would have to be EXPRESSLY listed in 26 C.F.R. §1.1-1(c).
5.2. Fourteenth Amendment “citizens of the United States***” are NOT expressly listed in 26 C.F.R. §1.1-1(c) so they are PURPOSEFULLY excluded from the POLITICAL/TERRITORIAL “citizens*” in 26 C.F.R. §1.1-1(c).
5.3. The only people who satisfy the criteria of “subject to ITS jurisdiction” in 26 C.F.R. §1.1-1(c) are those in either the District of Columbia or the federal enclaves. People born in federal enclaves are NOT Fourteenth Amendment POLITICAL “citizens*”, by the way.
5.4. People in the exclusive jurisdiction of a constitutional state are NOT “subject to ITS jurisdiction”, but rather “subject to THE [POLITICAL] jurisdiction” in United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649, 18 S.Ct. 456, 42 L.Ed. 890 (1898). Therefore, they are NOT included in the definition of “citizen” in 26 C.F.R. §1.1-1(c).
6. From an EXTERNAL or CONVENTIONAL perspective, the “United States50” in 26 U.S.C. §7701(a)(9) is “domestic”, but:
6.1. It is NOT “domestic” in an INTERNAL sense, because INTERNAL means WITHIN the corporation. All those acting as resident agents are INTERNAL to that corporation.
6.2. The term “domestic” in 26 U.S.C. §7701(a)(4) EXCLUDES the international or geographical sense under the rules of statutory construction:
“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 [530 U.S. 943] (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.”
6.3. Thus, the term “domestic” refers ONLY to things INTERNAL to the LEGAL/CORPPORATE “United StatesGOV” in a STATUTORY context.
