Words v. Terms
People these days don’t get legal training unless they are seeking law as a profession. Consequently, the only kind of communication they are familiar with is ordinary speech and technical writing about scientific studies. The approach of the legal field to the use of the English language, on the other hand, is UNIQUE and DIFFERENT from every area that a typical person has experienced. You must understand how legal language works or you are sure to be deceived and victimized by government bureaucrats and members of the legal profession.
Most people use mere “words” governed by the rules of English grammar. Lawyers use “terms”.
- A “term” is a word that has a specific legal meaning APART from its use in ordinary English speech.
- A “term” actually REPLACES rather than merely ENLARGES the ordinary use of words in English speech.
Much of the purposeful conflation and deliberately confusing language found in statutory laws stems from deliberately deceptive vocabulary choices. We call these deliberately deceptive vocabulary choices in government documents “Words of Art” and the government generally refers to them as “Terms.” Readers on a search for truth are encouraged to read every government document starting with a goal of understanding the Terms used. This is because the government authors specifically target words that have a common, everyday meaning which is distinctly different, purposefully twisted, legally misdirecting, and highly deceptive when used as a Term in a government document. The government likes to apply specific legal definitions to normal and everyday words so that an unsuspecting reader is intentionally misinformed as to what a government law, regulation, or opinion is describing and to whom the government document actually applies. This is especially true for revenue generating documents, but not limited to just revenue generating documents.
We must always remember the following about definitions found in acts of Congress:
- The Constitution is a TRUST, and the purpose of all trusts is the manage PROPERTY. In this case, it manages ONLY COMMUNITY property of the collective states, but not PRIVATE property.
- The TRUSTEES of the trust are the public officers elected to serve within the GOVERNMENT CORPORATION. This corporation is called “DOMESTIC” in the Internal Revenue Code.
- Congress CANNOT by legislation AMEND, EXPAND, REPEAL or even DEFINE terms in any part of the constitution, INCLUDING the Fourteenth Amendment. That is why the Fourteenth Amendment origin of nationality is NOWHERE mentioned in Title 8 of the U.S. Code.
- The SERVANT cannot be greater than the MASTER.
- The Constitution is written by the Master, who is the SOVERIGN PEOPLE, called “We the People” who wrote the social compact called the Constitution.
- Courts call “We the People” the STATE, and distinguish it from The GOVERNMENT. The GOVERNMENT and the STATE are NOT equal. “The State” is defined in Black’s Law Dictionary is defined as “a PEOPLE”, and not the government that works for them.
https://famguardian.org/TaxFreedom/CitesByTopic/State.htm - The “State” and the individuals IN the “State” are the sovereigns, not the GOVERNMENT:
“There is no such thing as a power of inherent sovereignty in the government of the United States …. In this country sovereignty resides in the people, and Congress can exercise no power which they have not, by their Constitution entrusted to it: All else is withheld.”
[Julliard v. Greenman, 110 U.S. 421 (1884)]
“In United States, sovereignty resides in people… the Congress cannot invoke the sovereign power of the People to override their will as thus declared.”
[Perry v. U.S., 294 U.S. 330 (1935)] - The GOVERNMENT is a corporation that SERVES the “State” as its master and Sovereign.
“The sovereignty of a state does not reside in the persons who fill the different departments of its government, but in the People, from whom the government emanated; and they may change it at their discretion. Sovereignty, then in this country, abides with the constituency, and not with the agent; and this remark is true, both in reference to the federal and state government.”
[Spooner v. McConnell, 22 F. 939 @ 943] - The ability to even define a term in legislation presupposes that Congress has an ownership interest in the thing defined and all property affected by the definition. Otherwise they would be STEALING private property which they were created to PROTECT and NOT steal.
- Congress DOES NOT and CANNOT OWN its Master, the Sovereign People or their PRIVATE property! PRIVATE, constitutionally protected “persons” are therefore COMMON LAW nationals who have RIGHTS in stead of privileges that can only be judicially decided and never surrendered by statute or definitions written by Congress.
- The implication is that if Congress is defining anything in legislation, then they aren’t referring to the MASTER, who are the Fourteenth Amendment American Nationals in the constitutional states.
“Since in common usage the term `person’ does not include the sovereign, statutes employing that term are ordinarily construed to exclude it.”
[U.S. v. Cooper, 312 U.S. 600,604, 61 S.Ct. 742 (1941)] - The legal definition of “communist” states that its main characteristic is a refusal to recognize any limits on its authority. Anyone in government who therefore REFUSES to acknowledge the above MAJOR limits on their authority delegated by the Constitution is, BY DEFINITION, a “communist” according to Congress:
TITLE 50 > CHAPTER 23 > SUBCHAPTER IV > Sec. 841.
Sec. 841. – Findings and declarations of fact
The Congress finds and declares that the Communist Party of the United States [consisting of the IRS, DOJ, and a corrupted federal judiciary], although purportedly a political party, is in fact an instrumentality of a conspiracy to overthrow the [de jure] Government of the United States [and replace it with a de facto government ruled by the judiciary]. It constitutes an authoritarian dictatorship [IRS, DOJ, and corrupted federal judiciary in collusion] within a [constitutional] republic, demanding for itself the rights and privileges [including immunity from prosecution for their wrongdoing in violation of Article 1, Section 9, Clause 8 of the Constitution] accorded to political parties, but denying to all others the liberties [Bill of Rights] guaranteed by the Constitution. Unlike political parties, which evolve their policies and programs through public means, by the reconciliation of a wide variety of individual views, and submit those policies and programs to the electorate at large for approval or disapproval, the policies and programs of the Communist Party are secretly [by corrupt judges and the IRS in complete disregard of the tax laws] prescribed for it by the foreign leaders of the world Communist movement [the IRS and Federal Reserve]. Its members [the Congress, which was terrorized to do IRS bidding recently by the framing of Congressman Traficant] have no part in determining its goals, and are not permitted to voice dissent to party objectives. Unlike members of political parties, members of the Communist Party are recruited for indoctrination [in the public schools by homosexuals, liberals, and socialists] with respect to its objectives and methods, and are organized, instructed, and disciplined [by the IRS and a corrupted judiciary] to carry into action slavishly the assignments given them by their hierarchical chieftains. Unlike political parties, the Communist Party [thanks to a corrupted federal judiciary] acknowledges no constitutional or statutory limitations upon its conduct or upon that of its members. The Communist Party is relatively small numerically, and gives scant indication of capacity ever to attain its ends by lawful political means. The peril inherent in its operation arises not from its numbers, but from its failure to acknowledge any limitation as to the nature of its activities, and its dedication to the proposition that the present constitutional Government of the United States ultimately must be brought to ruin by any available means, including resort to force and violence [or using income taxes]. Holding that doctrine, its role as the agency of a hostile foreign power [the Federal Reserve and the American Bar Association (ABA)] renders its existence a clear present and continuing danger to the security of the United States. It is the means whereby individuals are seduced into the service of the world Communist movement, trained to do its bidding, and directed and controlled in the conspiratorial performance of their revolutionary services. Therefore, the Communist Party should be outlawed
So it must be presumed that EVERYTHING Congress legislatives for involves ONLY PUBLIC property managed under the Constitution as a trust indenture. That authority derives from Article 4, Section 3, Clause 2. ALL of its civil legislation can deal with and affect ONLY that PUBLIC and COMMUNITY property owned by the collective States united under the Trust indenture. Every definition they publish, therefore, can ADDRESS, CONTROL, REGULATE, and TAX ONLY that kind of property.
Further, as the SERVANT of the sovereign people, Congress cannot by legislation do anything that affects the constitution such as:
- Amend the constitution.
- Define the terms in the constitution.
- Repeal any part of the Constitution.
- Expand the constitution.
Doing any of the above would make the SERVANT GOVERNMENT as a Federal Corporation greater than its Master who wrote the constitution. That MASTER is HUMAN BEINGS protected by the Constitution, who we call “Constitutional/PRIVATE ‘persons’” but not civil statutory “persons”, who have not SURRENDERED those protections through making any elections. Once you fornicate with what the Bible calls “the Beast” by engaging in commerce or trade with it, that’s the END of your liberty as described below:
Curses of Disobedience [to God’s Laws]
“The alien [Washington, D.C. is legislatively “alien” in relation to states of the Union] who is among you shall rise higher and higher above you, and you shall come down lower and lower [malicious destruction of EQUAL PROTECTION and EQUAL TREATMENT by abusing FRANCHISES]. He shall lend to you [Federal Reserve counterfeiting franchise], but you shall not lend to him; he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail.
“Moreover all these curses shall come upon you and pursue and overtake you, until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which He commanded you. And they shall be upon you for a sign and a wonder, and on your descendants forever.
“Because you did not serve [ONLY] the Lord your God with joy and gladness of heart, for the abundance of everything, therefore you shall serve your [covetous thieving lawyer] enemies, whom the Lord will send against you, in hunger, in thirst, in nakedness, and in need of everything; and He will put a yoke of iron [franchise codes] on your neck until He has destroyed you. The Lord will bring a nation against you from afar [the District of CRIMINALS], from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flies [the American Eagle], a nation whose language [LEGALESE] you will not understand, a nation of fierce [coercive and fascist] countenance, which does not respect the elderly [assassinates them by denying them healthcare through bureaucratic delays on an Obamacare waiting list] nor show favor to the young [destroying their ability to learn in the public FOOL system]. And they shall eat the increase of your livestock and the produce of your land [with “trade or business” franchise taxes], until you [and all your property] are destroyed [or STOLEN/CONFISCATED]; they shall not leave you grain or new wine or oil, or the increase of your cattle or the offspring of your flocks, until they have destroyed you.
[Deut. 28:43-51, Bible, NKJV]
Notice in the above biblical curse directed at those who do business with the government by “effectively connecting” or asking for “benefits” the use of the phrase “the INCREASE of your cattle”. The word “INCREASE” is a reference to a Sixteenth Amendment tax on PROFIT. How much clearer can God be on this subject? Wake up! But what’s actually happening is ten times WORSE than the above. Those who accept privileges and benefits and engage in a “trade or business” franchise pay tax on GROSS RECEIPTS, not just profit or “increase” as identified above. It’s the equivalent of a VOLUNTARY direct tax on ALL your property! 26 U.S.C. §61 is a DIRECT TAX on GROSS RECEIPTS called “gross income”, and not just profit. To only pay a tax on PROFIT, you as an American National have to file as a NONRESIDENT ALIEN and receive only earnings NOT connected to a “trade or business” in 26 U.S.C. §871(a). But the IRS has hidden this from you because they love money more than they love respecting and protecting their MASTER, which is YOU.
Therefore, it’s entirely accurate to say that EVERY SINGLE DEFINITION in the entire Internal Revenue Code and every OTHER act of Congress relates ONLY to PUBLIC property that Congress has a DEMONSTRABLE absolute ownership interest it, which means NONE of YOUR property, unless you donate it to them by doing such IDIOTIC things as “effectively connecting” it. Anyone who suggests otherwise is a sophist, a tyrant, and a THIEF who wants to STEAL rather than PROTECT your private property.
Further, the Supreme Court says specifically that when a term is defined in a statute that the regular meaning of the word is to be ignored and statute controls.
“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.”

“It is axiomatic that the statutory definition of the term excludes unstated meanings of that term. Colautti v. Franklin, 439 U.S. 379, 392, and n. 10 (1979). Congress’ use of the term “propaganda” in this statute, as indeed in other legislation, has no pejorative connotation.{19} As judges, it is our duty to [481 U.S. 485] construe legislation as it is written, not as it might be read by a layman, or as it might be understood by someone who has not even read it.“

The purposeful switch of everyday words to have unique and distinct meanings when read in a government or legal context has the effect of purposefully deceiving everyday Americans who do not have an extensive legal background. When the average American reads a document from the government without looking into the Terms used they leave with a purposefully crafted misinterpretation. This isn’t an accident. You’ll notice that most Americans go through 15 years of government education without having a single class on law. You’re led to believe it’s too complicated or bothersome to learn the law. Besides… what football game is on tonight? The system is designed to steer you away from learning laws and personally defending your rights. Confusion and cognitive dissonance (using the word alien in the term “nonresident alien” to describe ordinary Americans) is one of the most powerful tools offered by the government to steer you away from this status election and choice that can free you from most federal government obligations.
To illustrate the point of the intentional bamboozling, the original income tax passed by Congress during the civil war in 1861 was 4 pages. It was 15 pages by 1913, 111 pages by 1939, and today the income tax is housed within 3837 pages of internal revenue code. In 2002 the US Treasury Secretary O’Neill declared:
Our tax code is an abomination. It’s 9,500 pages of confusion and complexity. That complexity is costly – to taxpayers, to our economy, and to public confidence in the fairness of the system. We’ve got to fix the tax code so that it’s simple, clear, and fair. Americans deserve to have a code that’s understandable and treats everyone the same.

There are circular definitions called “tautologies”, definitions hidden in previous drafts of the documents, purposefully obfuscated definitions, definitions only represented in the negative form (such as “nonresident alien” in 26 U.S.C. §7701(b)(1)(B) or “foreign person” in 26 C.F.R. §1.1441-1(c)(2)(i)), and definitions are hidden deep within the document rather than easily accessible at the start of chapters, and so on. As you’ll see, the expansion of the law into an unknowable and unmanageable mess was intentional. The purpose was to hide the greatest financial crime in world history from the American public. The government is stealing your money from you, using it for purposes you did not intend, and claiming to do so on your sworn-under-penalty-of-perjury behalf. What greater injustice could there be than a government that becomes a PREDATOR rather than a PROTECTOR and which only protects itself and hides that fact in a fog of equivocation, words of art, mystery, legal ignorance, and confusion they manufactured in you with the public fool system by never teaching you about law?
“The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one’s real and one’s declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish spurting out ink.”
