Exhibit "A" Attachment to: Real Property Public Notice and Notice of Common Law Lien John E. Trumane c/o general delivery Marin County San Rafael, California Republic united States of America NUNC PRO TUNC ESTOPPEL AT LAW AND PUBLIC NOTICE RESCISSION AFFIDAVIT OF JOHN E. TRUMANE CALIFORNIA STATE/REPUBLIC ) ) Subscribed, Sworn and Sealed MARIN COUNTY ) PREAMBLE I, Citizen John E. Trumane, being a Massachusetts native- born white adult male living and working in Marin County as a Citizen of the California Republic since the year 1979 and I, as such status, hereby make this Special Appearance, by Affidavit, In Propria Persona, proceeding Sui Juris, At Law, in Common Law, with Assistance, Special, neither conferring nor consenting to any foreign jurisdiction, except to the judicial power of California and/or America, and as such I willfully enforce all Constitutional limitations respectively on all government agencies when dealing with them, wherefore the Undersigned Affiant, named herein and above, upon affirmation declares and evidences the following: I, John E. Trumane, am of lawful age and competent. I am a free white natural born Citizen in the California Republic, and thereby in the united States of America, in fact, by Right of heritage, a Citizen inhabiting the California Republic, protected via hereditary succession by my predecessors' previous contracts with government as found in the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, the Organic Act of 1849, the original Constitution of California, the Articles of Confederation of 1777, the Constitution for the united States of America (1789) including its Preamble, and the Bill of Rights (1791) including its Preamble; and, as such, I retain all my unalienable Rights granted by God in positive law, embodied in the Declaration of Independence (1776) and binding Rights upon myself and my parentage, on this day and for all time now and hereafter; and further, Rescission Documents of John E. Trumane: Page 1 of 29 I, John E. Trumane, a natural born free white adult male, In Propria Persona, proceeding Sui Juris, At Law, with Assistance, Special, receiving mail c/o General Delivery, San Rafael, California Republic, being duly sworn and affixing my signature to this document, do hereby make the following statement of fact and affirm: the so-called "Social Security" number xxx-xx-xxxx is rescinded in application, in body and in signature, for I affirm that this agreement was imposed upon me by usage of threat, coercion, withholding of material facts, and uninformed consent, and that I was not at age of majority; therefore, this aforementioned government action constitutes constructive fraud and placed me under duress of mind and therefore deprived me of giving any meaningful consent to the original "Social Security" application and agreement. This agreement is null and void, nunc pro tunc, due to the aforementioned fraud; and further AFFIDAVIT AMENDMENT PROTECTION CLAUSE I, the Undersigned, in order to protect my unalienable Rights to life, liberty and property, inclusive of my Right to the proper in rem and in personam Citizenship status, have been forced to amend certain legal documents and statements, due to the continued revelation and increased discovery of the continuous acts of fraud upon me by the de facto governments, both State and Federal, and therefore I declare that I am free to amend any and all such documents and statements, as a matter of substantive Right, for I cannot be held liable for either the acts or the omissions by governments which are out of my control, which acts and omissions constitute fraud in one form or another. Therefore, I proceed at all times "WITH EXPLICIT RESERVATION OF ALL MY RIGHTS AND WITHOUT PREJUDICE" to any of my unalienable Rights, inclusive of my personal Right to substantive and procedural due process proceedings under the Judicial Power of both my State and my Nation. And further, I, John E. Trumane, state and affirm the following: 1. That material facts were withheld, such as Title 28, Section 1746, Subsections 1 & 2 (being within or without the "United States"), which caused me to be unaware that a completed, signed, and submitted "Form 1040" or "income tax return" and other forms and documents of the Internal Revenue Service and the Franchise Tax Board are voluntarily executed instruments which could be used as prima facie evidence against me in criminal trials and civil proceedings to show that I had voluntarily waived my Constitutionally secured Rights and that I had voluntarily subjected myself to the federal income/excise tax, to the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (hereinafter referred to as the IRC), to the authority of the Franchise Tax Board (hereinafter referred to as the FTB) and to the authority of the Internal Revenue Service (hereinafter referred to as the IRS) by signing and thereby affirming, under penalty of perjury (within the "United States"), that I was, in effect, a "person" subject to the tax; that the above induced and/or forced action, via State and Federal governments, clearly indicates a violation of the United States Constitution, Article 1, Section 9, Clause 3: "No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed." and Clause 4: "No Capitation, or other direct, Tax shall be laid, unless in Proportion to the Census or Enumeration hereinbefore directed to be taken." These above same injunctions are found in the Northwest Ordinance and in the California Constitution. And further, Rescission Documents of John E. Trumane: Page 2 of 29 2. That material facts were withheld, which caused me to be unaware of the legal effects of signing and filing income tax returns, as shown by the decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit in the 1974 ruling in the case of Morse v. U.S., 494 F.2d 876, 880, wherein the Court explained how a State Citizen became a "taxpayer" by stating: "Accordingly, when returns were filed in Mrs. Morse's name declaring income to her for 1944 and 1945, making her potentially liable for the tax due on that income, she became a taxpayer within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code." [emphasis added] And further, 3. That material facts were withheld, which caused me to be unaware that the signing and filing of an income tax return and other IRS forms are acts of voluntary compliance for a free Sovereign natural born Citizen (see 2:1:5, U.S. Constitution) inhabiting the united States of America, when executed and submitted by said Sovereign living and working within the States of the Union; that I was unaware that, in a legislative court such as a United States District Court, the completed IRS documents can become prima facie evidence, sufficient to sustain a legal conclusion by a judge, that the signer has voluntarily changed his lawful status/state FROM that of a free Sovereign natural born Citizen, who is not subject to any federal income tax and who possesses all of his God-given, Constitutionally secured Rights when dealing with government, TO the legal status of a "taxpayer" (any individual, trust, estate, partnership, association, company or corporation subject to federal excise tax), that is, a "person" who is subject to the federal excise tax and is, therefore, subject to the authority, jurisdiction and control of the federal government under Title 26 of the United States Code, the statutes governing federal taxation and to the regulations of the IRS, thereby imposing the tax on himself, waiving his God-given Constitutionally secured Rights to property and labor in respect to the federal income/excise tax statutes and their administration by the IRS, and establishing himself as one who has privileges only, but no Rights, in dealings with the IRS, the same as a corporation; that it is my understanding that the change of status/state resulting from the signed IRS documents is very similar to the change of status that occurs when one enlists in the military service and voluntarily takes an oath that subjects him to the authority, jurisdiction and control of the federal government under Title 10 of the United States Code, the statutes governing the armed forces and the regulations of the military service, thereby waiving his Constitutionally guaranteed Rights in relation to dealings with the military services; and further, Rescission Documents of John E. Trumane: Page 3 of 29 4. That I, as a natural born free Sovereign inhabitant in the united States of America, in the Republic of California, and as a freeman, am endowed by my Creator with numerous unalienable/inalienable Rights which include but are not limited to my Rights to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness (property)," which Rights are specifically identified in the Magna Carta (1215) and the Declaration of Independence (1776), and protected and secured by the Constitution for the united States of America (1789) and the subsequent Bill of Rights, Articles in Amendment 1 thru 10 (1791); that my birthright to the "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" has been interpreted by both the Framers of the Constitution and by the U.S. Supreme Court to include my unalienable Right to contract, to acquire, to deal in, to sell, rent, and exchange properties of various kinds, real and personal, without requesting or exercising any privilege or franchise from government; that I have learned that these unalienable property Rights also include my Right to contract for the exchange of my labor-property for other properties and remuneration, such as wages, salaries, and other earnings; that I have never knowingly, intentionally, or voluntarily waived any of these unalienable Rights, nor can I, John E. Trumane, be forced to waive any of these Rights granted to me by God the Father, my Creator (see Brady v. U.S., 397 U.S. 742, 748 (1970)) because I am endowed with these Rights by my Creator and by nobody else and nothing else; and further, 5. That I understand that, if the exercise of my Rights were subjected to taxation, these same Rights could be destroyed by increasing the tax rates to unaffordable levels; therefore, courts have repeatedly ruled that government has no power whatsoever to tax or otherwise "lien" against the exercise of any Rights, particularly the Rights of Sovereign Citizens, as shown by the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of Murdock v. Pennsylvania, 319 U.S. 105 (1943), which stated: "A state may not impose a charge for the enjoyment of a Right granted by the Federal Constitution."; that unalienable Rights are Rights against which no lien can be established precisely because they are un-a-lien- able; that America's founding documents enumerate some of my unalienable Rights, none of which Rights I have ever waived knowingly, voluntarily, and intentionally; that I freely choose to obey all American Law and to pay all Lawful taxes in jurisdictions which are applicable to me for the common good; that I stand In Propria Persona with Assistance, Special; that my status and unalienable Rights, as stated hereinafter and in the foregoing, are not negotiable; and further, 6. That, for years past and at least since the year 1964, I have been influenced by numerous cases of people going to jail and being punished, and also by numerous and repeated public warnings made by the FTB and by the IRS, via radio, television, the printed press and other forms of public communication media, warning of the "deadline" for filing State and Federal forms, such as a "Form 1040 Income Tax Return" and/or other IRS forms and documents; this therefore caused me to file said forms under duress; and further, Rescission Documents of John E. Trumane: Page 4 of 29 7. That, in addition to the aforesaid warnings, I have also been influenced by the misleading and deceptive wording of IRS publications and IRS-generated news articles, by the pressure of widespread rumors and misinformed public opinion, and by the advice and assurances of lawyers, C.P.A.'s and income tax preparers which misled me to believe incorrectly that the 16th Amendment to the Constitution for the united States of America abolished the Fifth Amendment of that same Constitution and authorized Congress to impose a direct tax on me, my property, my exchanges of property and/or property received as a result of exercising my Constitutionally secured Right to contract; that I was further misled into believing that I had a legal duty and obligation to file a "Form 1040 Income Tax Return" and other IRS and FTB tax forms, schedules and documents, and that I was unaware of Title 28, Section 1746 wherein there are two perjury clauses: (1) one stating that you are without the "United States" and (2) one stating that you are within the "United States", respectively. The perjury clauses on both State and Federal tax forms stipulate, under penalty of perjury, that I was stating unknowingly that I was within the "United States." This is an act of fraud by both State and Federal taxing agencies. And further, 8. That I have also been further influenced, misled and alarmed by rumors, by misinformed public opinion and by the advice and assurances of lawyers, C.P.A.'s and income tax preparers to the effect that "the IRS and the FTB will get you," and that it would be a crime punishable by fine and/or imprisonment if I did not fill out, sign and file with the IRS a "Form 1040"; that, in point of fact, the only person actually named within the IRC as a person required to collect an income tax, to file an income tax return and to pay an income tax is a "Withholding Agent"; and that, to the best of my knowledge, I am not now, nor have I ever been a "Withholding Agent"; and further, 9. That, in addition to all of the reasons stated in paragraphs 6, 7 and 8 above, I was influenced by the common and widespread practice of employers who, either knowingly or unknowingly, without Power of Attorney, misled me and their employees to believe that they and I must have a Social Security Number and that all are subject to the withholding of "income taxes" from their earnings, either with or without their permission, based upon the employers' possible mistaken assumption that they, as employers, are required by law to withhold "income taxes" from the paychecks of their employees, which is contrary to the Sections 3402(n), 7343 and 7701(a)(16) of the IRC, absent a voluntary execution of Form W-4, the "Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate"; and further, Rescission Documents of John E. Trumane: Page 5 of 29 10. That I have also been mistakenly influenced and mistakenly impressed by annual public displays and indiscriminate public offerings by the IRS and the FTB of large quantities of the Forms 1040 and 540 in banks, post offices, and through the U.S. mail, which public displays and offerings also had the effect of reminding me of, and inducing me to respond mistakenly by filling out, signing and sending "Form 1040" to the IRS and "Form 540" to the FTB; and further, 11. That said "Forms 1040" contained no reference to any law or laws which would explain just exactly who is and who is not subject to, or liable for, the income tax, State or Federal, nor did it contain any notice or warning to anyone that merely sending said completed "Form 1040" to the IRS would waive my Right to privacy, as secured by the 4th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, and also waive my Right to not be a witness against myself, as secured by the 5th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, and that a completed "Form 1040" would, in itself, constitute legal evidence, admissible in a court of law, that the filer is subject to and liable for the income/excise tax, even though and regardless of the fact that I, as a free Sovereign natural born Citizen (see 2:1:5, U.S. Constitution), am actually and legally not subject to the statutory jurisdiction of Title 26, nor liable for any income/excise tax, and regardless of the fact that, to the best of my knowledge, I have no legal duty or obligation whatsoever to complete and file any IRS "Form 1040" or any FTB income tax forms, nor did they evidence Title 28 Section 1746(2); and further, 12. That at no time was I ever notified or informed, by the IRS or by the FTB, nor by any of their agents or employees, nor by any lawyer, C.P.A., or tax preparer, of the fact that the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, as correctly interpreted by the U.S. Supreme Court in such cases as Brushaber v. Union Pacific Railroad Co., 240 U.S. 1 (1916) and Stanton v. Baltic Mining Co., 240 U.S. 103 (1916), identified the income tax as an indirect excise tax in accordance with Article 1, Section 8, Clause 1 of the United States Constitution; that the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, as correctly interpreted by the U.S. Supreme Court, does not authorize a tax on individuals but is applicable to nonresident aliens (e.g. Frank R. Brushaber) who involve themselves in activities, events or occupations which come under, or are within, the taxing authority of the "United States", as explained in Treasury Decision 2313, March 21, 1916; that the 16th Amendment was never actually ratified nor could it have been enacted into positive law because the requisite number of States (i.e., 36) did not meet the lawful requirements for amending the Constitution; and that a mass of incontrovertible material evidence available since the year 1985 proves that the act of "declaring" the 16th Amendment "ratified" was an act of outright fraud by Secretary of State Philander C. Knox in the year 1913; and further, Rescission Documents of John E. Trumane: Page 6 of 29 13. That at no time was I ever notified or informed by the FTB nor by the IRS, their agents or employees, nor by any lawyer, C.P.A., or tax preparer, of the fact that, because of various rulings of the U.S. Supreme Court in such cases as Flint v. Stone Tracy Co., 220 U.S. 107 (1911), and Pollock v. Farmer's Loan and Trust Co., 157 U.S. 492 (1895), the indirect excise tax on incomes identified by the so-called 16th Amendment is also a tax upon corporate privileges granted by government, which tax is measured by the amount of corporate income (see Corporations Tax Act, Statutes at Large, 1909, vol. XXXVI, section 38, page 112); that this indirect excise tax is also imposed on the taxable income of foreign corporations, and on the taxable income of nonresident aliens to the extent this (latter) income is either effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the corporate jurisdiction of the "United States", or derived from sources within the corporate jurisdiction of the "United States" although not effectively connected with the conduct of trade or business within the corporate jurisdiction of the "United States", according to Sections 871 and 872 of the IRC; and further, 14. That my attention has been called to Report No. 80-19A, entitled "Some Constitutional Questions Regarding the Federal Income Tax Laws" published by the American Law Division of the Congressional Research Service of the Library of Congress, updated January 17, 1980; that this publication describes the tax on "income" identified in the so-called 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution as an indirect excise tax; that this report stated: "The Supreme Court, in a decision written by Chief Justice White, first noted that the 16th Amendment did not authorize any new type of tax, nor did it repeal or revoke the tax clauses of Article I of the United States Constitution, quoted above.", and further stated: "Therefore, it can clearly be determined from the decisions of the United States Supreme Court that the income tax is an indirect tax, generally in the nature of an excise tax ....", thus proving in my mind that the "income tax" is not a tax on me as a free Sovereign natural born Citizen (see 2:1:5, U.S. Constitution), but is, rather, an indirect excise tax as described by the U.S. Supreme Court in Flint v. Stone Tracy Co., 220 U.S. 107 (1911), wherein the high Court defined excise taxes as "... taxes laid upon the manufacture, sale, or consumption of commodities within the country, upon licenses to pursue certain occupations, and upon corporate privileges ....", none of which aforesaid classifications apply to me; and further, Rescission Documents of John E. Trumane: Page 7 of 29 15. That I was unaware of the truth of the rarely publicized statement by the IRS that the "income" tax system is based upon "voluntary compliance with the law and self-assessment of tax"; that I was unaware before June of 1990 of a posted notice in the main lobby of the Federal Building in San Francisco, California outside the offices of the IRS, which reads, in pertinent part, "The purpose of the Internal Revenue Service is to ... encourage and achieve the highest degree of voluntary compliance in accordance with the tax laws and regulations."; that I was unaware before June of 1990 that Mr. Roger M. Olsen, Assistant Attorney General, Tax Division, Department of Justice, Washington, D.C., made the following statement to an assemblage of tax lawyers on May 9, 1987: "We encourage voluntary compliance by scaring the heck out of you."; that it has never been either my intention nor my desire to voluntarily self-assess an excise tax upon myself, nor to give up my Right to property, nor to voluntarily subject myself to such an excise tax; that I had always thought that compliance was required by law; and further, 16. That I have examined Sections 871 thru 878, 1441, 1442, 1443, 3401(c), 6001, 6011, 6012(a), 6331(a), 7203, 7205 and 7343 of the IRC (Title 26 U.S.C.), and I am entirely convinced and completely satisfied that I am not now, nor was I ever, any such "person" or individual referred to by these sections; and further, 17. That, after careful study of the IRC, and after consultations on the provisions of that Code with informed lawyers, tax accountants and tax preparers concerning the provisions of the IRC, I have never found or been shown any sections of the IRC that imposed any requirement on me as a free Sovereign natural born Citizen and unprivileged inhabitant, living and working within a County within a State of the Union, to file a "Form 1040 Income Tax Return" or any other State income tax form, or that imposed a requirement upon me to pay a tax on "income", or that would classify me as a "person liable", as a "person made liable", or as a "taxpayer" as the term "taxpayer" is defined in 26 U.S.C. Section 7701(a)(14), which states: "The term 'taxpayer' means any person subject to any internal revenue tax."; and further, 18. That, after the study and consultations mentioned in paragraph 17, the only mention of any possible requirement upon me, as an individual, to pay a tax on "income", that I could find, or was shown in 26 U.S.C., was the title of Part I under Subtitle A, Chapter 1, Subchapter A (which is deceptively titled "Tax on Individuals") and Section 6012(a), Subtitle F, Chapter 61-A, Part II-B, Subpart B, and the California Tax Statutes; that a careful study and earnest examination of these parts of the IRC revealed that the "individuals" to whom these sections refer are, in fact, either individuals who work within a foreign country like France and are taxed according to a tax treaty, or they are nonresident aliens who receive income which is either effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the corporate jurisdiction of the "United States", or derived from sources within the corporate jurisdiction of the "United States", although not effectively connected with the conduct of trade or business within the corporate jurisdiction of the "United States", according to Sections 871 and 872 of the IRC; and that, to the best of my knowledge, I have never conducted any trade or business within the corporate jurisdiction of the "United States", nor have I ever derived income from sources within the corporate jurisdiction of the "United States"; and further, Rescission Documents of John E. Trumane: Page 8 of 29 19. That, after the study and consultations mentioned in paragraph 17 above, my attention was called to the IRC, Chapter 21, entitled "Federal Insurance Contributions Act" (Social Security), and my attention was also called to Subchapter A of Chapter 21 entitled "Tax on Employees", which includes Section 3101, wherein the (Social Security) tax is identified as a tax on "income", not as an "Insurance Contribution", not as a "Tax on Employees", and not as a tax on wages or earnings; that my attention was further called to these facts: there is no provision in the IRC that imposes the tax on employees or requires them to pay the tax; a voluntarily signed and completed Form W-4, "Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate", allows an employer to withhold money from a worker's pay for (Social Security) "income" tax, even though the worker has claimed on that form to be "exempt" from the graduated "income" tax; and an employer has no authority to withhold money from a worker's pay for the (Social Security) "income" tax, for the graduated "income" tax, nor for any IRS-imposed penalty or assessment if there is no voluntarily signed "W-4" form in force and a Form 2678, Granting Power of Attorney; and further, 20. That, after the study and consultations described in paragraph 17 above, my attention was called to Section 61(a) of the IRC, which lists items that are sources of "income", and to the following facts: that IRS Collections Summons Form 6638 (12- 82) confirms that these items are sources, not "income", by stating that the following items are "sources": "wages, salaries, tips, fees, commissions, interest, rents, royalties, alimony, state or local tax refunds, pensions, business income, gains from dealings in property, and any other compensations for services (including receipt of property other than money)."; that sources are not "income", but sources become "income" if they are entered as "income" on a signed "Form 1040", because the signer affirms, under penalty of perjury (within the "United States"), that the items entered in the "income" section of the "Form 1040" are "income" to the signer; that Section 61(b) clearly indicates which Sections of the IRC identify and list items that are included in "income" by stating: "For items specifically included in gross income, see Part II (sec. 71 and following)"; and further, 21. That my attention was then called to the said Part II entitled: "Items Specifically Included in Gross Income"; that I studied sections 71 thru 87 and noticed that wages, salaries, commissions, tips, interest, dividends, pensions, rents, royalties, etc., are not listed as being included in "income" in those Sections of the IRC; and that, in fact, those items are not mentioned anywhere in any of these sections of the IRC; and further, Rescission Documents of John E. Trumane: Page 9 of 29 22. That, after further diligent study, it appears entirely clear to me that the only way that property received by me as a free Sovereign natural born Citizen (see 2:1:5, U.S. Constitution), living and working within the States of the Union, in the form of wages, salaries, commissions, tips, interest, dividends, rents, royalties and/or pensions could be, or could have been legally considered to be "income", is if I voluntarily completed and signed a "Form 1040 Income Tax Return", thereby affirming, under penalty of perjury (within the "United States"), that the information on such "Form 1040" was true and correct, and that any amounts listed on the "Form 1040" in the "income" block were "income", and thereby acknowledging under oath or affirmation, that I am, or was, a taxpayer subject to the tax and have, or had, a duty to file a "Form 1040 Income Tax Return" and/or other IRS forms, documents and schedules, none of which instruments I have ever signed with the understanding that I signed them knowingly, voluntarily, and intentionally and by means of knowingly intelligent acts done with sufficient awareness of all the relevant circumstances and likely consequences (see Brady v. United States, 397 U.S. 742 at 748 (1970)); and that, when I have sent in State and Federal tax forms purposely not signed, they were returned to me with a letter instructing and stipulating that I must sign the forms under the penalty of perjury, thereby claiming that I was a "United States person" due to the wording of the perjury clause (Title 28 U.S.C. 1746(2)); and further, 23. That, with good faith, with an honest reliance upon the aforementioned U.S. Supreme Court rulings and with reliance upon my constitutionally protected Natural Common Law Bill of Rights, Amendments 1 thru 10 (1791), to lawfully contract, to lawfully work and to lawfully acquire and possess property, I am convinced and satisfied that I am not now, nor was I ever subject to, liable for, or required to pay an income/excise tax; that I am not now, nor have I ever been a "taxpayer", and there has never been a Judicial Power proceeding in which it was ruled that I was a "taxpayer" as that term is defined and used in the IRC; and that I have never had any legal duties or obligations whatsoever to file any "Form 1040" or to make any "income tax return", or to sign or submit any other IRS "individual" forms or documents or schedules, to pay any "individual" income tax, to keep any personal financial records, or to supply any personal information to the IRS; and further, 24. That the U.S. Congress, the International Monetary Fund, the Federal Reserve Banks and the Internal Revenue Service, by means of vague, deceptive and misleading words and statements in the IRC, in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), in official statements by IRS Commissioners in the Federal Register, in IRS publications and in IRS-generated news articles, committed constructive fraud and misrepresentation by misleading and deceiving me, as well as the general public, into believing that I was required to file "Form 1040 Income Tax Returns" and other IRS forms, documents and schedules and that I was also required to keep records, to supply information and to pay income taxes; and further, Rescission Documents of John E. Trumane: Page 10 of 29 25. That, by reason of the aforementioned facts, I do hereby exercise my Rights as a free Sovereign natural born Citizen (see 2:1:5, U.S. Constitution), upheld by various court decisions, to rescind, to cancel and to render null and void, Nunc Pro Tunc, both currently and retroactively to the time of signing, based upon the constructive fraud and misrepresentation perpetrated upon me by the Federal government, the U.S. Congress, the IRS, the "State of California", its Franchise Tax Board (FTB), all IRS and FTB forms, statements, documents, returns, schedules, contracts, licenses, applications, articles, certificates and/or commercial agreements ever signed and/or submitted by me, or on my behalf by third parties (including but not limited to Forms 1040 and attached schedules, Forms W-2, Forms W-4, and Forms 1099) on the accounts bearing the account numbers xxx-xx-xxxx, yy-yyyyyyy, and zz-zzzzzzz, and all my signatures on any and all of the aforementioned items, including the original "Social Security" application, which caused the account bearing the account number xxx-xx-xxxx to be established; that this notice of rescission is based upon my Rights with respect to constructive fraud and misrepresentation as established in, but not limited to, the cases of Tyler v. Secretary of State, 184 F.2d 101 (1962) and also El Paso Natural Gas Co. v. Kysar Insurance Co., 605 Pacific 2d 240 (1979), which stated: "Constructive fraud as well as actual fraud may be the basis of cancellation of an instrument."; and further, 26. That I do hereby declare that I am not and never was a "taxpayer" as that term is defined in the IRC, a "person liable" for any internal revenue tax, or a "person" subject to the provisions of the IRC, and I do hereby declare that I am, and have always been, a "nontaxpayer"; that courts have recognized and acknowledged that individuals can be nontaxpayers, "... for with them Congress does not assume to deal and they are neither the subject nor the object of revenue laws ....", as stated in the cases of Long v. Rasmussen, 281 F. 236 (1922), De Lima v. Bidwell, 182 U.S. 1, 176-179 (1901), and Gerth v. United States, 132 F. Supp. 894 (1955); and further, 27. That evidence now available to me proves that the Internal Revenue Service has to date failed to comply with the clear and unambiguous requirements imposed on all federal government agencies by the following Congressional statutes: the Federal Register Act (44 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.), the Administrative Procedures Act (5 U.S.C. 551 et seq.), and the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.); that the IRS failure to comply with the requirements of these statutes constitutes further constructive fraud, breach of fiduciary trust between sovereign Citizens and public servants, and violations of the solemn oaths of office required of federal government officials, thereby relieving me of any and all legal duties which could or might otherwise exist for me to file any returns, schedules, or other documents with the IRS; and that, after having read these three statutes and summaries of related case law, I thereby conclude that there is no reason why the IRS would be exempt from any of the clear and unambiguous requirements imposed upon federal government agencies by these three statutes, notwithstanding any and all allegations to the contrary that heretofore may have been published by the IRS or the Treasury Department in the Federal Register without also citing the proper legal authorities, if any, for such allegations; and further, Rescission Documents of John E. Trumane: Page 11 of 29 28. That recent diligent studies have convinced me of the above, and that as such I am not "subject to" the territorially limited "exclusive legislation" nor to the foreign jurisdiction mandated for the District of Columbia, federal enclaves, federal territories, and federal possessions by Article 1, Section 8, Clauses 17 and 18 and Article 4, Section 3, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution, including its "domestic" governmental organizations therein (hereinafter referred to as the "Federal Legislative Democracy" and elsewhere referred to in this Affidavit as the "corporate jurisdiction of the United States"); that I am not "subject to" this foreign jurisdiction by reason of any valid contract or any valid commercial agreement resulting in adhesion thereto across America, nor are millions of other American Citizens, unless they have provided "waivers of rights guaranteed by the Constitution" by means of "knowingly intelligent acts," such as contracts or commercial agreements with such government(s) "with sufficient awareness of the relevant circumstances and likely consequences," as ruled by the U.S. Supreme Court in Brady v. U.S., 397 US 742 at 748 (1970); and that I myself have given no such "waivers"; and further, 29. That these same diligent studies have also proved to me that misrepresentation and a shrewd and criminal constructive fraud have been perpetrated upon Sovereign American Citizens by government, under counterfeit "color of law," through the apparent entrapments of "certain ACTIVITIES (monopoly occupations) and PRIVILEGES (other benefits)" allowed by statutory acts or otherwise; that, by reason of American Law which has never been repealed, such sources of past and present criminal element in and behind government should be brought to justice in a Constitutional Court of Law for aiding and abetting this misrepresentation and constructive fraud as willing accomplices; that it is for such a Court, with a 12-member jury of peers, to decide who is and who is not guilty among personnel of government, media, schools, lawyers, accountants, clergy and other purveyors of misinformation and other mind-set propaganda, in this and related regards; and further, Rescission Documents of John E. Trumane: Page 12 of 29 30. That, due to such shrewd entrapments over the years, I have unwittingly signed many related documents, contracts, and commercial agreements, some even under the "perjury" jurat (within the "United States") as was supposedly required; with American Law on my side, I hereby rescind and cancel any and all such signatures and render them null and void, except for those which I may choose to have considered as being under "TDC" (Threat, Duress and/or Coercion), past and present; that this is also my lawful notice that all such signatures of mine in the future on instruments of government or other entities, including banks, which might otherwise result in contract adhesion, are to be considered as being under "TDC", whether appearing therewith or otherwise; that my Constitutional "Privileges and Immunities" (per Article 4, Section 2) are apart from those mandated for the Federal Legislative Democracy by Article 1, Section 8, Clauses 17 and 18 and by Article 4, Section 3, Clause 2, and shall not by Law be violated ever; and that my status, in accord, is stated for all to see and know in 2:1:5, 1:2:3, 4:2:1 and 3:2:1 of the Constitution for the united States of America. And further, 31. That, with this accurate knowledge and with "the supreme Law of the Land" (Article 6, Section 2) again on my side, I do Lawfully and "squarely challenge" the fraudulent, usurping, octopus-like authority and jurisdiction cited above in paragraph 28, which authority and jurisdiction do not apply to me (see Hagans v. Lavine, 415 U.S. 528 at 533); it is, therefore, now mandatory for any personnel of the Federal Legislative Democracy or its agents to FIRST PROVE its "jurisdiction," if any, over me before any further procedures can take place in my regard, per Title 5 United States Code, "Government Organization and Employees," Section 556(d), specifically by disclosing in writing any and all contracts or other commercial agreements whereby the Federal Legislative Democracy and its agents claim to have obtained controlling interest in me such that my specific performance to any third party debt or obligation can be compelled; OR ELSE any of its personnel and accomplices who willfully violate this statute can and shall be personally charged as citizens under Title 18 (U.S. Criminal Code) Sections 241, 242, 1001 and/or otherwise; and, in fairness, it must be added that, to my knowledge, IRS agents have NO written lawful "Delegation of Authority" within the 50 Union States and their so-called "Form 1040" appears to be a bogus and bootleg document on its face; and further, 32. That, with all of the above in mind, it appears that this free Sovereign natural born California Citizen is, by Law, as "foreign" and as much a "nonresident alien" with respect to the Federal Legislative Democracy as he is to France, and thus shall be free to use related Forms of the Federal Legislative Democracy if and when they might be needed, required and/or appropriate at various future times and places yet to be determined (see paragraphs 12, 13 and 18 above), including but not limited to Form W-8 ("Certificate of Foreign Status" and its permitted substitutes) for banks and/or other financial institutions, Forms 1040X ("Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return") and 1040NR ("U.S. Nonresident Alien Income Tax Return") for refunds and for correcting the administrative record, and IRC Section 3402(n) which authorizes certificates of exemption from withholding in lieu of Form W-4; and further, Rescission Documents of John E. Trumane: Page 13 of 29 33. That, since my date of birth on September 21, 1947, I have always been a NONRESIDENT ALIEN with respect to the Federal Legislative Democracy of the "United States", never having resided, worked, nor having any income, to the best of my recollection, from any sources within the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, Northern Mariana Islands, the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands or any other territory or possession within the "United States", which entity obtains its exclusive legislative authority and jurisdiction from Article 1, Section 8, Clauses 17 and 18 and Article 4, Section 3, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution; that I have always been a non-taxpayer outside the venue and jurisdiction of Title 26, United States Code; that, to the best of my knowledge, I have never had any "U.S. trade or business" as defined in Title 26 and in 26 C.F.R.; that, to the best of my knowledge, I have never had any "gross income" from any U.S. sources, as the term "gross income" is defined in 26 U.S.C. 872(a); and further 34. That my use of IRS Forms 1040X and 1040NR shall be presumed to mean that they were filed solely to correct the administrative record permanently, retroactively to September 21, 1947, so as to claim any lawful refunds that may be due, to rebut any erroneous presumptions and/or terminate any erroneous elections of U.S. "residence" which may have been established in error by the filing of any prior IRS forms, schedules and other statements by mistakes resulting in part from the demonstrable vagueness that is evident in Title 26 and its regulations, and by mistakes resulting also from the constructive fraud and misrepresentation mentioned throughout this Affidavit; that I was neither born nor naturalized in the "United States", I have never been subject to its jurisdiction, and I have never been a "United States citizen" as defined in the 1866 Civil Rights Act and as vaguely defined in 26 C.F.R. 1.1-1(c) and in the so-called 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution; and further, 35. That the federal government has committed fraud, duress and coercion, exercised undue influence, and evidenced unlawful menace against the American people by representing the so-called 14th Amendment as a lawfully ratified amendment to the Constitution for the United States of America, when contrary proof, published court authorities and other competent legal scholars have now established that it was NOT lawfully ratified. (See State v. Phillips, 540 P.2d 936 (1975); Dyett v. Turner, 439 P.2d 266 (1968); Congressional Record for June 13, 1967 (see pages 15641 et seq.); 28 Tulane Law Review 22; and 11 South Carolina Law Quarterly 484.) And further, Rescission Documents of John E. Trumane: Page 14 of 29 36. That I am not now, nor have I ever knowingly, intentionally and voluntarily, with informed consent, entered into any personal, internal, public or private agreement, contract, stipulation, account or similar contrivance with the "United States", the "Federal Government" or the "District of Columbia", its territories, its agencies or other property appurtenant thereto, which would have altered or waived my de jure, Sui Juris status, or my natural unalienable God-given natural Rights; that any such agreement, contract, expressed or implied, such as a Social Security number and application, or Driver's License, or Bank Signature Card, or the use of Federal Reserve Notes (which are not lawful Specie) etc., have all been hereby rescinded, due to the fraudulent withholding of material facts, which became a snare and a trap and, as such, are a Bill of Attainder on this free Sovereign natural born Citizen and inhabitant in the united States of America, for I cannot become a nexus by the effect of a fraudulent nexum, because my status and unalienable natural Rights are not negotiable, and the government, both State and Federal, has not proved that they ever had jurisdiction to change my status, as required by Title 5 U.S.C. Section 556(d), or as defined and set out as a Constitutional requirement in Hagans v. Lavine, 415 U.S. 528, 533 (see also Brady v. United States, 397 U.S. 742 at 748 (1970)); that any change of status would lawfully have to take place in a Common Law (judicial power) court under the due process clause of the 5th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution; and further, 37. That this is to certify that I, John E. Trumane, am a free Sovereign natural born Citizen and inhabitant in the united States of America, domiciled in the California Republic, living and working in Marin County, living under the Common Law, having assumed, among the powers of the Earth, the Separate and Equal Station to which the Laws of Nature and Nature's God entitles me, in order to secure the Blessings of Liberty to Myself and my Posterity, and in order to re-acquire the Birthright that was taken from me by fraud, do hereby asseverate and rescind all feudatory contracts with the Federal government and its agencies and with the corporate State of California and its agencies, for I, John E. Trumane, being of sound mind and body, do not choose, nor have I ever chosen, to give up, relinquish or otherwise waive any of my God-given, natural, Constitutionally secured Rights by means of knowingly intelligent acts done with sufficient awareness of the relevant circumstances and likely consequences; and further, 38. That my use of the phrase "WITH EXPLICIT RESERVATION OF ALL MY RIGHTS AND WITHOUT PREJUDICE UCC 1-207 (UCCA 1207)" above my signature on this document indicates: (1) that I explicitly reject any and all benefits of the Uniform Commercial Code, absent a valid commercial agreement which is in force and to which I am a party, and cite its provisions herein only to serve notice upon ALL agencies of government, whether international, national, state or local, that they, and not I, are subject to, and bound by, all of its provisions, whether cited herein or not; (2) that my explicit reservation of Rights has served notice upon ALL agencies of government of the "Remedy" they must provide for me under Article 1, Section 207 of the Uniform Commercial Code, whereby I have explicitly reserved my Common Law Right not to be compelled to perform under any contract or commercial agreement, that I have not entered into knowingly, voluntarily, and intentionally; (3) that my explicit reservation of Rights has served notice upon ALL agencies of government that they are ALL limited to proceeding against me only in harmony with the Common Law and that I do not, and will not accept the liability associated with the "compelled" benefit of any unrevealed commercial agreements; and (3) that my valid reservation of Rights has preserved all my Rights and prevented the loss of any such Rights by application of the concepts of waiver or estoppel. And further, Rescission Documents of John E. Trumane: Page 15 of 29 39. That I reserve my unalienable Right to amend this Affidavit at times and places of my own choosing, according as new facts and revelations are made available to me at various future times and places as yet unknown to me, and as yet to be determined by me, given the massive fiscal fraud which has now been sufficiently revealed to me by means of material and other reliable evidence which constitutes satisfactory and incontrovertible proof of the fraud to which I refer in this paragraph and elsewhere in this Affidavit. And further, 40. That I affirm under penalty of perjury, under the laws of the United States of America, without the "United States", that the foregoing is true and correct, to the best of my knowledge, information and believe, per 28 U.S.C. 1746(1); and Further This Affiant saith not.

Whereas the improved real property described elsewhere in Marin County records as Assessor's Parcel (A/P) #xxx-xxx-xx is free and clear of any and all federal tax liens and, for all the reasons stated hereinafter, remains free and clear of any and all federal tax liens until and unless the Undersigned OWNER/BUILDER, John E. Trumane (hereinafter OWNER/BUILDER), a natural born free man and a Citizen of the California Republic, consents to such a lien, in writing, by means of his authorized signature on said lien; and 2. Whereas federal income taxes have always been voluntary (i.e. optional) for the Undersigned OWNER/BUILDER as a Citizen of the California Republic, for all the reasons as stated in the attached NUNC PRO TUNC ESTOPPEL AT LAW AND PUBLIC NOTICE RESCISSION AFFIDAVIT (see attached EXHIBIT "A") which is incorporated herein and made an explicit part of this NOTICE by reference, and for all the reasons as stated in the several notarized affidavits now on file in the case of People v. Boxer, Case No. S-030016, filed December 4, 1992 with the Clerk, Supreme Court of California, 303 Second Street, Eighth Floor, San Francisco, California; and Rescission Documents of John E. Trumane: Page 18 of 29 3. Whereas all agents and other employees of the Internal Revenue Service have NO delegated authority to record a federal tax lien on A/P #xxx-xxx-xx, among other reasons because such delegations of authority are required by Title 5 of United States Codes to be duly published in the Federal Register and because such delegations of authority have NOT been duly published in the Federal Register, and because said improved real property is situated on a parcel of land which is outside ("without") the exclusive territorial jurisdiction of the "United States" which is, for purposes of private international law (a/k/a "conflict of laws"), a corporation domiciled in the District of Columbia and conducting business in a colorable fashion by means of its traffic in commercial paper otherwise known as "Federal Reserve Notes" and other instruments which colorably evidence federal government indebtedness; and 4. Whereas said "United States" is officially bankrupt as evidenced by recent public statements to that effect by Congressman James A. Traficant, who confirmed in a televised interview on the evening of March 17, 1993, that the United States Congress are now the TRUSTEES IN RECEIVERSHIP for said "United States", and as evidenced by a bogus federal debt which is fraudulently secured by federal government securities (i.e. bonds) purchased by the private banks of the Federal Reserve System with "money" and "credit" which they created out of thin air, by means of mere bookkeeping entries and without payment of any lawful consideration; and 5. Whereas said bankruptcy of the "United States" actually dates from the year 1933 Anno Domini, at which time the foreign stockholders of the Federal Reserve System foreclosed on said "United States" secretly and fraudulently, so as to impose the appearance of a permanent state of emergency on the land, labor and other assets of the American People, in order to create the appearance of a lawful justification for the fraudulent collection tactics of the Internal Revenue Service and the fraudulent revolving hypothecation of colorable government obligations to the banks of the private corporation known as the Federal Reserve System, to the benefit of the foreign stockholders of said Federal Reserve banks; and 6. Whereas said Internal Revenue Service, acting in its capacity as the collection agency for the banks of said Federal Reserve System and acting on behalf of the foreign stockholders of said banks, is not a service to the federal government, and it is not a service to the American People, of whom the Undersigned OWNER/BUILDER is a member in good standing by virtue of birth and hereditary succession, and whose fundamental property Rights, substantive Rights, and procedural Rights are guaranteed de jure by the Constitution for the United States of America (1789) as lawfully amended, and the organic California Constitution (1849) as lawfully amended, which together constitute the Supreme Law of this Land, even today, notwithstanding any and all de facto government representations to the contrary; and Rescission Documents of John E. Trumane: Page 19 of 29 7. Whereas, since the month of December, 1990 Anno Domini, said OWNER/BUILDER has personally invested a minimum of five thousand (2,000) hours of unpaid physical labor on improvements to A/P #xxx-xxx-xx, at a par value of one-half ounce of fine gold per hour, as monetized in the year 1990 Anno Domini by a "Liberty" coin minted by the United States of America and denominated "1/2 OZ. FINE GOLD -- 25 DOLLARS, MCMLXXXVI", thereby resulting in a superior and lawful interest in A/P #xxx-xxx-xx equivalent to 2,500 ounces of fine gold in favor of said OWNER/BUILDER, notwithstanding any and all colorable claims which may be made against said A/P by "persons" other than said OWNER/BUILDER and his immediate family (see definition of "person" at 26 U.S.C. 7701(a)(1)); 8. Whereas Article IV of the organic California Constitution of 1849 contains the following explicit provisions: Sec. 34. The legislature shall have no power to pass any act granting any charter for banking purposes; but associations may be formed, under general laws, for the deposit of gold and silver; but no such association shall make, issue, or put into circulation, any bill, check, ticket, certificate, promissory note, or other paper, or the paper of any bank, to circulate as money. Sec. 35. The legislature of this state, shall prohibit, by law, any person or persons, association, company or corporation from exercising the privileges of banking, or creating paper to circulate as money. [emphasis added] WHEREFORE the Undersigned OWNER/BUILDER hereby affirms under penalty of perjury, under the laws of the United States of America, without the "United States", that the Internal Revenue Service is hereby permanently barred at Law, in equity, in admiralty, and in all other lawful and legal jurisdictions which may exist now or at any time in the future, from recording any and all federal tax liens on the improved real property described elsewhere in Marin County records as A/P #xxx-xxx-xx, until such time as one or the other of the following two (2) events occurs: (1) said OWNER/BUILDER consents to such lien in writing, having elected to be treated as a "resident" of the "United States", as those terms are defined in 26 United States Codes and 26 Code of Federal Regulations, and having volunteered knowingly and intentionally to become a surety for the federal debt of the bankrupt "United States" by means of a valid commercial agreement which is executed in the form of IRS Form 1040A, a/k/a Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Control Number 1545-0085, and which is completed with explicit reservation of all Rights, without prejudice to any Rights (per Article 1, Section 207 of the Uniform Commercial Code), and in strict conformance to the rules published in the Code of Federal Regulations for Titles 26 and 27 of the United States Codes; -or- Rescission Documents of John E. Trumane: Page 20 of 29 (2) said OWNER/BUILDER knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally relinquishes all lawful right, title and interest in said A/P #xxx-xxx-xx by selling and thereby conveying said right, title and interest to a qualified buyer by means of an acceptable offer at "arm's length", satisfactory performance of all terms of said offer, and acknowledged receipt of lawful consideration (or mutually acceptable substitutes with explicit reservation of all Rights), which receipt shall be documented in writing for all to see and to know. In the event of OWNER/BUILDER's death, all such right, title and interest then retained by OWNER/BUILDER shall transfer to surviving family members or, if no family members then survive, to the National Commodity and Barter Association, headquartered in Longmont, Colorado, c/o USPS Post Office Box 2255, Longmont, Colorado Republic, for disposition at the discretion of its then current Director. SO LET IT BE KNOWN that the Undersigned OWNER/BUILDER hereby explicitly reserves the absolute Rights to alter or amend this NOTICE and COMMON LAW LIEN at the times and places of his choosing, at his sole and exclusive discretion.

Trumane c/o general delivery Marin County San Rafael, California Republic united States of America FOREIGN STATUS AFFIDAVIT CALIFORNIA STATE/REPUBLIC ) ) Subscribed, Sworn and Sealed MARIN COUNTY ) PREAMBLE The following Affidavit of Foreign Status is a public notice to all interested parties concerning the Affiant's "birthrights" and his "status" as an "AMERICAN INHABITANT", as that status would apply with respect to the American States (the 50 independent States of the Union) and also with respect to the "United States", as follows: 1. The Affiant, John E. Trumane, was born a Sovereign in Massachusetts, which is one of the sovereign States of the Union of several States joined together to comprise the confederation known as the united States of America. He is, therefore, a "nonresident alien" individual with respect to the "United States", which entity obtains its exclusive legislative authority and jurisdiction from Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17 and Article 4, Section 3, Clause 2 of the Constitution for the united States of America. The Affiant's parents were Sovereigns also, born in sovereign States of the Union. As the progeny of Sovereign people, the Affiant was born "... one of the sovereign people .... A constituent member of the sovereignty synonymous with the people.", Scott v. Sanford, 19 How. 404. The Affiant is alien to so-called 14th Amendment "United States" citizenship, and also nonresident to so-called 14th Amendment State residency, and therefore he is a "nonresident alien" with respect to both. As a Sovereign whose Citizenship originated in Massachusetts by birth, and who has remained intact in California since the year 1952, the Affiant is also a foreigner (alien) with respect to the other 49 States of the Union and with respect to the "United States". As a consequence of his birth, the Affiant is an "American Inhabitant"; and further, 2. The Affiant, to the best of his informed knowledge, has not entered into any valid agreements of "voluntary servitude"; and further, 3. The Affiant is a "NONRESIDENT ALIEN" with respect to the "United States", as that term is defined and used within the Internal Revenue Code (Title 26, United States Codes), and/or Title 27 U.S.C., and with respect to the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder as follows: Rescission Documents of John E. Trumane: Page 24 of 29 The Internal Revenue Code, Title 26, and/or Title 27, United States Codes, and associated federal regulations, clearly and thoroughly make provision for Americans born and living within one of the 50 Sovereign States of America, to wit: Section 1.871-4 Proof of residence of aliens. (a) Rules of evidence. The following rules of evidence shall govern in determining whether or not an alien within the United States has acquired residence therein for purposes of the income tax. (b) Nonresidence presumed. An alien by reason of his alienage, is presumed to be a nonresident alien. [26 CFR 1.871-4] and further, 4. The Affiant was not born or naturalized in the "United States", consequently he is not a "citizen of the "United States" nor a "United States citizen", as those terms are defined and used within the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C.) and/or 27 U.S.C. and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and, therefore, he is not subject to the limited, exclusive territorial or political jurisdiction and authority of the "United States" as defined. The "United States" is definitive and specific when it defines one of its citizens, as follows: Section 1.1-1 (c) Who is a citizen. Every person born or naturalized in the United States and subject to its jurisdiction is a citizen. [26 CFR 1.1-1(c)] 5. The Affiant is not a "citizen of the United States" nor a "United States citizen living abroad", as those phrases are defined and used in the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C.) and/or 27 U.S.C. and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and further, 6. The Affiant is not a "resident alien residing within the geographical boundaries of the United States", as that phrase is defined and used in the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C.) and/or 27 U.S.C. and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and further, Rescission Documents of John E. Trumane: Page 25 of 29 7. The Affiant is not a "United States person", a "domestic corporation", "estate", "trust", "fiduciary" or "partnership" as those terms are defined and used within the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C.) and/or 27 U.S.C. and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and further, 8. The Affiant is not an "officer", "employee" or "elected official" of the "United States", of a "State" or of any political subdivision thereof, nor of the District of Columbia, nor of any agency or instrumentality of one or more of the foregoing, nor an "officer" of a "United States corporation", as those terms are defined and used within the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C.) and/or 27 U.S.C. and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and further, 9. The Affiant receives no "income" or "wages with respect to employment" from any sources within the territorial jurisdiction of the "United States" and does not have an "office or other fixed place of business" within the "United States" from which the Affiant derives any "income" or "wages" as such, as those terms and phrases are used and defined within the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C.) and/or 27 U.S.C. and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and further, 10. The Affiant has never engaged in the conduct of a "trade or business" within the "United States", nor does the Affiant receive any income or other remuneration effectively connected with the conduct of a "trade or business" within the "United States", as those terms are defined and used within the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C.) and 27 U.S.C. and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and further, 11. The Affiant receives no "income", "wages", "self- employment income" or "other remuneration" from sources within the "United States", as those terms are defined and used in the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C.) and/or 27 U.S.C. and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. All remuneration paid to the Affiant is for services rendered outside (without) the exclusive territorial, political and legislative jurisdiction and authority of the "United States"; and further, 12. The Affiant has never had an "office" or "place of business" within the "United States", as those terms are defined and used in the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C.) and/or 27 U.S.C. and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and further, 13. The Affiant has never been a "United States employer", nor "employer", nor "employee" which also includes but is not limited to an "employee" and/or "employer" for a "United States" "household", and/or "agricultural" activity, as those terms are defined and used in the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C.) and/or 27 U.S.C. and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and further, Rescission Documents of John E. Trumane: Page 26 of 29 14. The Affiant has never been involved in any "commerce" within the territorial jurisdiction of the "United States" which also includes but is not limited to "alcohol", "tobacco" and "firearms" and Title 26, Subtitle D and E excises and privileged occupations, as those terms are defined and used in the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C.) and/or 27 U.S.C. and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and further, 15. The Affiant has never been a "United States" "withholding agent" as those terms are defined and used in the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C.) and/or 27 U.S.C. and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and further, 16. The Affiant had no liability for any type, kind or class of Federal Income Tax in past years, and was and is entitled to a full and complete refund of any amounts withheld, because any liability asserted and amounts withheld were premised upon a mutual mistake of fact regarding the Affiant's status. The Affiant has never knowingly, intentionally, and voluntarily changed his Citizenship status nor has he ever knowingly, intentionally, and voluntarily elected to be treated as a "resident" of the "United States"; and further, 17. The Affiant, to the best of his current knowledge, owes no "tax" of any type, class or kind to the "United States" as those terms are defined and used in the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C.) and/or 27 U.S.C. and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and further, 18. The Affiant anticipates no liability for any type, class or kind of federal income tax in the current year, because the Affiant does not intend to reside in the "United States", he does not intend to be treated as either a "resident" or a "citizen" of the "United States", he is not and does not intend to be involved in the conduct of any "trade or business" within the "United States" or receive any "income" or "wages" from sources within the "United States", as those terms are defined and used in the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C.) and/or 27 U.S.C. and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and further, 19. The Affiant, by means of knowingly intelligent acts done with sufficient awareness of the relevant circumstances and consequences (Brady v. U.S., 397 U.S. 742, 748) never agreed or consented to be given a federal Social Security Number (SSN), same said as to a federal Employee Identification Number (EIN) and, therefore, waives and releases from liability the "United States" and any State of the Union of 50 States, for any present or future benefits that the Affiant may be entitled to claim under the Old-Age Survivors and the Disability Insurance Act, and/or the Federal Unemployment Tax Act. Additionally, your Affiant makes no claim to any present or future benefits under any of the foregoing; and Rescission Documents of John E. Trumane: Page 27 of 29 20. Therefore, I, John E. Trumane, am a natural born free inhabitant and, as such, a Sovereign Citizen/Principal inhabiting the California Republic. Therefore, I am not "within the United States" but lawfully I am "without the United States" (per Title 28, U.S.C., Section 1746, Subsection 1), and therefore I have no standing capacity to sign any tax form which displays the perjury clause pursuant to Title 28, Section 1746, Subsection 2; and further, PLEASE NOTE WELL: At no time will the Affiant construe any of the foregoing terms defined within the Internal Revenue Code, Title 26 and/or Title 27, United States Codes, or within any of the other United States Codes, in a metaphorical sense. When terms are not words of art and are explicitly defined within the Code and/or within a Statute, the Affiant relies at all times upon the clear language of the terms as they are defined therein, NO MORE and NO LESS: "... When aid to construction of the meaning of words, as used in the statute, is available, there certainly can be no 'rule of law' which forbids its use, however clear the words may appear on 'superficial examination' ...."
