Certified Mail Number: __________________________________________ Date: __________________________________________ John E. Trumane c/o General Delivery Marin County San Rafael, California state united States of America NUNC PRO TUNC ESTOPPEL AT LAW AND PUBLIC NOTICE REVOCATION 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 Republic of California/State since 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 California state, and thereby in the united States of America, in fact, by right of heritage, a Citizen inhabiting California state, 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 (1787) 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, 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 state, 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 revoked 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, Letters Social Security Administration: Page 1 of 153 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 IRS and California Revenue Department forms and documents 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 California Revenue Department 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, Letters Social Security Administration: Page 2 of 153 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, Letters Social Security Administration: Page 3 of 153 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), 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 California Revenue Department 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, Letters Social Security Administration: Page 4 of 153 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 State tax forms, schedules and documents, and that I was unaware of Title 28, Section 1746 wherein there are two perjury clauses, one stating that you are within the "United States" and one stating that you are without the "United States." 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 California Revenue Department 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, 10. That I have also been mistakenly influenced and mistakenly impressed by annual public displays and indiscriminate public offerings by the IRS and the State 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 State Franchise Tax Board (FTB); and further, Letters Social Security Administration: Page 5 of 153 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 "Form 1040" or State income tax forms, nor did they evidence Title 28, Section 1746; and further, 12. That at no time was I ever notified or informed, by the IRS or by the State of California, 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 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, 13. That at no time was I ever notified or informed by the California Department of Revenue 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, Letters Social Security Administration: Page 6 of 153 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, 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, Letters Social Security Administration: Page 7 of 153 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, 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, Letters Social Security Administration: Page 8 of 153 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, 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 consequences (see Brady v. United States, 397 U.S. 742); 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 citizen" due to the wording of the perjury clause (Title 28 U.S.C. 1746); and further, Letters Social Security Administration: Page 9 of 153 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, 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 revoke, 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 Revenue Department and the 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, xx-xxxxxxx, and xx-xxxxxxx, 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 revocation 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, Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 10 of 153 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), Delima v. Bidwell, 182 U.S. 176, 179, 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, 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 "internal" 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, Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 11 of 153 29. That these same diligent studies have also proved to me that misrepresentation and a shrewd and criminal constructive fraud have been perpetrated upon America 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, 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 revoke 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 US 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 Codes 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 States and their so-called "Form 1040" appears to be a bogus and bootleg document on its face; and further, Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 12 of 153 32. That, with all of the above in mind, it appears that this free Sovereign natural born American 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") 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. 33. That, since my date of birth on June 21, 1948, 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 June 21, 1948, 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 26 C.F.R. 1.1-1 and as defined in the so-called 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution; and further, Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 13 of 153 35. 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 revoked, 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); 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, 36. 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, living and breathing in California state, 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 revoke 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; and further, 37. 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: 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; 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; 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 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, Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 14 of 153 38. 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, and as yet to be determined, 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. 39. That I affirm under penalty of perjury, under the Common Law of America, without the "United States", that the foregoing is true and correct, to the best of my knowledge; and Further This Affiant saith not.

Trumane, Citizen/Principal, by Special Appearance, in Propria Persona, proceeding Sui Juris, with Assistance, Special, "Without Prejudice" to any of my unalienable rights. Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 19 of 153 Certified Mail #P xxx xxx xxx Return Receipt Requested c/o General Delivery San Rafael California state July 15, 1982 Darrell Blevins SSA Privacy Officer Department of Health and Human Services Social Security Administration Baltimore, Maryland Dear Mr. Blevins: Your letter to me, date-stamped July 7, 1982, and postmarked July 9, 1982, contains erroneous presumptions by you which are hereby rebutted as follows: "Wish to Revoke" Your letter contains statements which evidence a presumption on your part that I wish to revoke my signature on my Application for a Social Security Card (SS-5) and other documents. This presumption of yours is hereby rebutted. I do not "wish" to "revoke" my signature on these documents, nor have I requested that you "honor" any "request" by me, because such a "request" could be construed to mean that my original SS-5 was valid at its inception and that I now need your approval for such a "request". On the contrary, my letter of May 5, 1982 carefully utilized the phrase "to unilaterally revoke" so as to make it clear that I have unilaterally declared the contract void from its inception and I have put an end to it as though it never were. This clear interpretation of my words, and the clear intent of those words, are fully supported by the following definitions in Black's Law Dictionary, Sixth Edition, to wit: Revoke. To annul or make void by recalling or taking back. To cancel, rescind, repeal, or reverse, as to revoke a license or will. Rescission of contract. To declare a contract void in its inception and to put an end to it as though it never were. A "rescission" amounts to the unmaking of a contract, or an undoing of it from the beginning, and not merely a termination, and it may be effected ... by one of the parties declaring rescission of contract without consent of other if a legally sufficient ground therefor exists .... It necessarily involves a repudiation of the contract and a refusal of the moving party to be further bound by it. ... An act of an equitable nature in which a party seeks to be relieved of his obligations under a contract on the grounds of mutual mistake, fraud, impossibility, etc. Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 20 of 153 When I use the phrase "to unilaterally revoke" in this and all prior documents served on your Agency, this phrase has a meaning that is synonymous with the phrase "to rescind the contract". That these meanings are synonymous is clearly substantiated by the above definitions from Black's Law Dictionary, Sixth Edition. This letter and all my prior documents detail numerous valid grounds for rescinding the original Social Security contract in application, in account, and in number. Mutual mistake, fraud, duress and coercion are legally sufficient grounds on which I am entitled to repudiate, and refuse to be further bound in any way by, my original Social Security application, account, and number. The burden of proving fraud generally falls on the moving party. I have already carried my burden of proving the mutual mistake, fraud, duress and coercion which together constitute legally sufficient grounds for unilaterally repudiating the contract(s) in question (see my letter of May 5, 1982, page 4). To the extent that, and insofar as my signature dated March 23, 1982 on Form SSA-521 can or should be construed to mean that I have "requested" consent of the Social Security Administration for withdrawal of my original SS-5 application, I hereby withdraw any such "request" because it was a mistake; I unilaterally rescind my signature on this Form SSA-521; and I unilaterally rescind my original SS-5 application without the consent of your Agency, for the several reasons stated in this letter and in all other documents previously served on your Agency. Nothing in this letter, or in any previous documents already served on your Agency, can or should be construed in any way as a grant of jurisdiction to the "United States", its agencies or its assigns. General Rebuttal Your letter contains statements which have been made contrary to numerous facts which are contained in my Affidavits and other documents previously served on your Agency. You and your Agency have now had ample opportunity to rebut any and all of those facts, and neither you nor your Agency have now done so. Accordingly, your failure to rebut any of those facts now renders them all conclusive, permanently for the record. You and your Agency are now forever barred and estopped from challenging those facts as stated. As a member of the Sovereignty by right of birth and hereditary succession, I belong to that group by whose authority the United States Constitution was created. The Congress was created, in turn, by that Constitution. The Social Security Act to which you refer is, in turn, a creation of that Congress. Regardless of your status prior to becoming an employee of the federal government, your current status as a federal employee necessarily subjects you to the letter of that "law". I am not subject either to the letter or to the spirit of that "law", however. Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 21 of 153 Even though and regardless of the fact that you are evidently restricted by law from unilaterally rescinding an original SS-5 application, I am not subject to any such restriction. As someone who has explicitly reserved all my unalienable rights without prejudice to any of my unalienable rights, I specifically retain my right to rescind and cancel my original Social Security application, for the several reasons stated in my Affidavits, in this letter and in other documents, and to render it null and void from its inception. The documents which I have already served on the Social Security Administration, including this letter to you, are prima facie evidence that I have already exercised that right, the exercise of which is entirely within my Sovereign power and authority to do. The Social Security Administration is bound by the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code. The conclusive facts as stated in my Affidavits and other documents now constitute material proof that my original Social Security application was an unconscionable contract ab initio (from its inception) because, among many other reasons, it was lacking in meaningful choice on my part. You and your Agency have already been notified via those documents, and I hereby notify you and your Agency again, that I have explicitly reserved all my unalienable rights, without prejudice to any of my unalienable rights. This means 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. Furthermore, my explicit reservation of rights has served notice upon all agencies of government, including but not limited to the Social Security Administration, of the "Remedy" which you 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. On the contrary, my previous entry into the Social Security system was unknowing, involuntary, and unintentional; it was based upon demonstrable misrepresentation, fraud, duress and coercion by the federal government because: 1. it was imposed upon me under duress and coercion by a foreign employer who had been deceived, as indeed are virtually all employers, into believing that Social Security was mandatory, and who would not otherwise engage me; 2. I too was misled to believe, by government-fostered fraud and misrepresentation, that participation in the Social Security system was mandatory for me; 3. the Social Security Administration did not disclose to me that participation was strictly voluntary, or that employers are under no requirement to hire only individuals who have a Social Security Number; 4. the Social Security Administration did not reveal to me the implications of thus being connected to the "United States", which entity has its origin and jurisdiction in 1:8:17 and 4:3:2 in the U.S. Constitution (aka "The Federal Zone"); Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 22 of 153 5. the Social Security Administration did not reveal that the monies collected from me were treated like an excise tax and were not allocated to a Social Security or other fund; 6. the Social Security Administration did not disclose to me that earnings from labor, in and of themselves, are not a revenue-taxable activity that is subject to excise taxes; 7. the Social Security Administration did not and has not informed me that the Federal Insurance Contributions Act is neither a contribution nor insurance, but an excise tax, thus being misleading and misrepresented by title; and 8. I was a minor not of lawful, contracting age when I entered the Social Security contract. For these reasons, and for the numerous reasons already documented in the Affidavits and other documents previously served on your Agency, I reiterate my prior election to renounce my Social Security Number and withdraw from the system entirely. I have not heretofore received any benefits or payments under the Social Security Act. Having made this election to discontinue all further participation in the Social Security system, I hereby demand the return of all monies collected from me under the guise of Social Security and Hospital Insurance. Out of sheer generosity, I make this demand without claim for any interest or increment for inflation. I further agree to waive all future Social Security benefits that have, or would have, accrued to me by virtue of my prior uninformed, fraudulent, and coerced submission to the Social Security contract. My Social Security application, contract, account and number are, therefore, null and void from their inception, as are any adhesions which may, now or in the future, be claimed by agencies of the federal government, or by any undisclosed third-parties such as the Federal Reserve banks and/or the International Monetary Fund, as a result of an application, contract, account and number that are all null and void ab initio (from their inception). Notice of Personal Liability Any further attempts by you and/or others in your Agency to assert the validity of that invalid application, contract, account, and/or number, in the face of clear and uncontested evidence to the contrary, will be noted and can be used as prima facie evidence of your willingness to violate and otherwise contravene my unalienable rights and my Constitutionally secured rights as a Sovereign Freeman. These rights include, but are not limited to, those which are enumerated in my Affidavits and other documents, including this letter. Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 23 of 153 You are hereby warned that you can and will be held personally liable for any future attempts to violate my fundamental, unalienable rights by acts on your part which attempt to compel my specific performance to any third-party debt or obligation created through the unlawful assertion of an invalid Social Security application, contract, account and/or number. As an employee of the federal government, you are under a legal obligation to recognize that: "Constructive fraud as well as actual fraud may be the basis of cancellation of an instrument," El Paso Natural Gas Co. v. Kysar Insurance Co., 605 Pacific 2d 240 (1979). Your ignorance of the law is no excuse in this matter. General Assertion of Rights For your information, I am not subject to any foreign jurisdiction by reason of any valid contract or commercial agreement resulting in adhesion across America, nor are millions of other Sovereign 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 U.S. 742, 748 (1970). I have given no such waivers, nor is it possible that I could have given such waivers by reason of a Social Security application executed long before my age of majority. Therefore, the Social Security application, contract, account and number at issue are all necessarily null and void, ab initio, notwithstanding any and all unsubstantiated statements by you to the contrary. Notice of Past Deadline Please also take note that your response to my letter of May 5, 1982 to Delmar D. Dowling was not timely. A timely response to my letter of May 5, 1982 would have been addressed on or before June 5, 1982. Your letter to me was date-stamped July 7, 1982. Therefore, I am entitled to the conclusive presumption that, after June 5, 1982, you were barred, by virtue of the doctrine of estoppel by acquiescence, from any further challenge to my statements as contained herein and as contained in all my documents previously served on your Agency. Cease and Desist Order Therefore, you and all others within your Agency are hereby ordered to cease and desist any further attempts to assert the validity of an invalid Social Security application, contract, account, and number, for all of the reasons stated hereinabove and in all previous documents already served on your Agency. Your failure to obey this order to cease and desist will make it necessary for me to serve on your person the legal documents necessary to substantiate my claim of one or more violations by you of my fundamental, inherent rights, which documents shall include but not be limited to affidavits of probable cause, copies of which will be forwarded to appropriate government officials of California state.

Dowling, Director Office of Public Inquiries Social Security Administration 6301 Security Boulevard Baltimore, Maryland Dear Mr. Dowling: Your letter to me, date-stamped April 15, 1982 and postmarked April 28, 1982, contains a multitude of erroneous, irrelevant, and immaterial presumptions which are rebutted as follows: "Employee" Presumption Your letter contains a number of statements which evidence a presumption on your part that I am an "employee" as that term is defined in Title 26 and in Title 42. I am not an "employee"; I am not a "covered employee"; I am not an "employer"; and I do not have an "employer". The numerous legal documents which I have already served on the Social Security Administration contain absolutely no statements which even remotely suggest that I am an "employee", or that I have an "employer", as those terms are defined by federal statute. Your willingness to introduce into the administrative record statements which are erroneous, irrelevant, and immaterial evidences bad faith on your part. You are under the obligation of good faith imposed at several places in the Uniform Commercial Code (see e.g. 1-203). Immigration and Naturalization Your letter recommends that I contact the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) for a determination regarding my "citizenship status". Again, the numerous legal documents which I have already served on the Social Security Administration contain absolutely no statements which even remotely suggest that I immigrated into this country, or that I was ever naturalized. If you had read these documents carefully, you would have discovered that I was natural born on June 21, 1948 in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and I have inhabited California state since 1952 (see 2:1:5 in the Constitution for the united States of America). As such, I am a member of the Sovereignty, and there is no reason to expect that INS will have any information pertinent to my status as a Sovereign. Again, your evident failure to read all the statements contained in my Affidavits and other documents constitutes further proof of bad faith on your part. Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 29 of 153 There is absolutely no need for me to request of the INS a determination concerning whether I am a "U.S. citizen" as that term is defined in Titles 26, 42 and their regulations. My right to be "present" in these united States of America is a birthright which is unalienable, fundamental and inherent. According to the Declaration of Independence, I am endowed with this birthright by my Creator, and not by any one or any thing else, and certainly not by the Immigration and Naturalization Service and not by the Social Security Administration in any event. You have stated that you cannot honor my request to adjust your records regarding my "citizenship" status because, as you state, the Social Security Administration does not have the authority to determine whether my "status should be changed". Your statement contains a non sequitor. First of all, I have not requested a determination whether my status should be changed. I have not requested any change of status. My status has not changed, and there is no need to change my status. The administrative record is another matter, however. If it contains errors of any kind, you are under the obligation of good faith to correct those errors, if and when they are discovered. If that administrative record contains data and/or other information which suggests that I am a "United States citizen" as that term is defined in Title 26 and Title 42, then the contents of that record were premised upon a mutual mistake of fact regarding my true status. Accordingly, you are under the obligation of good faith to correct any and all errors contained in that administrative record, using the correct information already supplied to you. You are expected to understand that correcting errors is entirely different from changing my status. Constitutionality of Social Security Act Your letter contains a statement that the Supreme Court has held the Social Security Act to be constitutional not long after the law's enactment in the 1930s. That may be so, but there is nothing in my documents to suggest that I have challenged the constitutionality of the Social Security Act. I certainly do reserve the right to so challenge the Act, at any time in the future. Nothing in this letter, nor in my Affidavits, nor in other documents already served on your Agency, can or should be construed to mean that I have waived my right to challenge the constitutionality of any act of Congress, now or in the future. General Rebuttal Your letter contains a set of statements which have been made contrary to numerous facts which are contained in my Affidavits and other documents served on your Agency. You have now had ample opportunity to rebut any and all of those facts, and you have not done so. Accordingly, your failure to rebut any of those facts now renders them all conclusive, permanently for the record. You are now forever barred and estopped from challenging those facts as stated. Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 30 of 153 As a member of the Sovereignty by right of birth and hereditary succession, I belong to that group by whose authority the United States Constitution was created. The Congress was created, in turn, by that Constitution. The Social Security Act to which you refer is, in turn, a creation of that Congress. Regardless of your status prior to becoming an employee of the federal government, your current status as a federal employee necessarily subjects you to the letter of that "law". I am not subject either to the letter or to the spirit of that law, however. Even though you are evidently restricted by law from unilaterally revoking an original SS-5 application, I am not subject to any such restriction. As someone who has explicitly reserved all my unalienable rights without prejudice to any of my unalienable rights, I specifically retain my right to unilaterally revoke and cancel my original Social Security application, for the several reasons stated in my Affidavits, this letter and other documents, and to render it null and void from its inception. The documents which I have now served on the Social Security Administration, including this letter, are prima facie evidence that I have, in effect, already exercised that right, the exercise of which is entirely within my Sovereign power and authority to do. The Social Security Administration is bound by the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code. The conclusive facts as stated in my Affidavits and other documents now constitute material proof that my original Social Security application was an unconscionable contract ab initio because, among many other reasons, it was lacking in meaningful choice on my part. You have already been notified via those documents, and I hereby notify you again, that I have explicitly reserved all my unalienable rights, without prejudice to any of my unalienable rights. This means 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. Furthermore, my explicit reservation of rights has served notice upon all agencies of government, including but not limited to the Social Security Administration, of the "Remedy" which you 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. On the contrary, my previous entry into the Social Security system was unknowing, involuntary, and unintentional; it was based upon demonstrable misrepresentation, fraud, duress and coercion by the federal government because: Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 31 of 153 1. it was imposed upon me under duress and coercion by a foreign employer who had been deceived, as indeed are virtually all employers, into believing that Social Security was mandatory, and who would not otherwise engage me; 2. I too was misled to believe, by government-fostered fraud and misrepresentation, that participation in the Social Security system was mandatory for me; 3. the Social Security Administration did not disclose to me that participation was strictly voluntary, or that employers are under no requirement to hire only individuals who have a Social Security Number; 4. the Social Security Administration did not reveal to me the implications of thus being connected to the "United States", which entity has its origin and jurisdiction in 1:8:17 and 4:3:2 in the U.S. Constitution (aka "The Federal Zone"); 5. the Social Security Administration did not reveal that the monies collected from me were treated like an excise tax and were not allocated to a Social Security or other fund; 6. the Social Security Administration did not disclose to me that earnings from labor, in and of themselves, are not a revenue-taxable activity that is subject to excise taxes; 7. the Social Security Administration did not and has not informed me that the Federal Insurance Contributions Act is neither a contribution nor insurance, but an excise tax, thus being misleading and misrepresented by title; and 8. I was a minor not of lawful, contracting age when I entered the Social Security contract. For these reasons, and for the numerous reasons already documented in the Affidavits and other documents previously served on your Agency, I reiterate my prior election to renounce my Social Security Number and withdraw from the system entirely. I have not heretofore received any benefits or payments under the Social Security Act. Neither has anyone else received benefits by virtue of my prior participation in the Social Security system. Having made this election to discontinue all further participation in the Social Security system, I hereby demand the return of all monies collected from me under the guise of Social Security and Hospital Insurance. Out of sheer generosity, I make this demand without claim for any interest or increment for inflation. I further agree to waive all future Social Security benefits that have, or would have, accrued to me by virtue of my prior uninformed, fraudulent, and coerced submission to the Social Security contract. My Social Security application, contract and account are, therefore, null and void from their inception, as are any adhesions which may, now or in the future, be claimed by agencies of the federal government, or by any undisclosed third-parties, as a result of an application, contract and account that are null and void ab initio. Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 32 of 153 Notice of Personal Liability Any further attempts by you to assert the validity of that invalid application, contract and/or account in the face of contrary evidence will be noted and can be used as prima facie evidence of your willingness to violate and otherwise contravene my unalienable rights and my Constitutionally secured rights as a Sovereign Freeman. These rights include, but are not limited to, those which are enumerated in my Affidavits and other documents, including this letter. You are hereby warned that you can and will be held personally liable for any future attempts to violate my fundamental, unalienable rights by acts on your part which attempt to compel my specific performance to any third-party debt or obligation created through the unlawful assertion of an invalid Social Security application, contract and/or account. As an employee of the federal government, you are under a legal obligation to recognize that: "Constructive fraud as well as actual fraud may be the basis of cancellation of an instrument," El Paso Natural Gas Co. v. Kysar Insurance Co., 605 Pacific 2d 240 (1979). Your ignorance of the law is no excuse in this matter. General Assertion of Rights For your information, I am not subject to any foreign jurisdiction by reason of any valid contract or commercial agreement resulting in adhesion across America, nor are millions of other Sovereign 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 U.S. 742, 748 (1970). I have given no such waivers, nor is it possible that I could have given such waivers by reason of a Social Security application executed long before my age of majority. Therefore, the Social Security application, account and number at issue are necessarily null and void, ab initio, notwithstanding any and all unsubstantiated statements by you to the contrary. Notice of Deadline If I do not hear from you within thirty (30) calendar days of the above date, I will be entitled to the conclusive presumption that you are thereby barred, by virtue of the doctrine of estoppel by acquiescence, from any further challenge to my statements as contained herein and as contained in all my documents as previously served on your Agency. Thank you very much for your consideration. Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 33 of 153 Sincerely yours, /s/ John E. Trumane John E.

King Commissioner of Social Security Social Security Administration 6401 Security Boulevard Baltimore, Maryland Subject: DEMAND FOR PAYMENT ACTUAL AND CONSTRUCTIVE NOTICE Dear Ms. King: This is my lawful and formal DEMAND FOR PAYMENT of Social Security taxes unlawfully withheld from my untaxable personal compensation that was exempt from tax under the fundamental Law during the calendar years 1965 to 1986, inclusive. The total amount of this demand is itemized as follows: Social Security Taxes Unlawfully Withheld by SSA from John E. Trumane, itemized as follows: Year Amount and Type of Tax Withheld Total 1986 $3,003 social security taxes $3,003 1985 2,971 " " " 2,971 1984 1,074 " " " 1,074 1983 503 " " " 503 1982 1,285 " " " 1,285 1981 1,975 " " " 1,975 1980 1,587 " " " 1,587 1979 992 " " " 992 1978 1,070 " " " 1,070 1977 965 " " " 965 1976 822 " " " 822 1975 0 " " " 0 1974 672 " " " 672 1973 418 " " " 418 1972 0 " " " 0 1971 75 " " " 75 1970 55 " " " 55 1969 29 " " " 29 1968 96 " " " 96 1967 47 " " " 47 1966 36 " " " 36 1965 13 " " " 13 ------ TOTAL AMOUNT DUE: $17,688 ======= Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 40 of 153 The above yearly amounts were taken from the statement entitled "Personal Earnings and Benefit Estimate Statement", form number SSA-7005 (06-88), dated November 29, 1988 and signed by Dorcas R. Hardy, Commissioner of Social Security (copy attached). Please take note of my prior communications to the Social Security Administration, in which I have reiterated this demand without claim for any interest or increment for inflation. ACTUAL AND CONSTRUCTIVE NOTICE This is my formal reply to your letter date-stamped August 13, 1982. Please take notice of the fact that I am a de jure California State Citizen, not a de facto federal citizen under the so-called 14th Amendment, nor a ward of the Congress who has a taxable citizenship through Social Security or any other governmental privilege or franchise. No governmental agency has power of attorney over me or my property. This letter and all attachments are based upon the principle that a contract is "Null and Void Ab Initio" in the case of fraud at its inception, and it need not be formally rescinded as a prerequisite to a right of avoidance. See court authority in the case of Bonacci v. Massachusetts Bonding and Insurance Co., 58 Cal 2d 657, 664; 137 P.2d 487 (1943). Therefore, I again demand that you remove my name and number from your system of records, and that you notify any and all affected governmental agencies that I am not subject to, nor am I required to have, a Social Security number or account. I also demand that your agency return all property that was taken from me by your use of various elements of fraud (see TOTAL AMOUNT DUE as shown in the above DEMAND FOR PAYMENT). This letter and attachments, and all previous letters, affidavits, declarations and affirmations sent to you, the Social Security Administration and/or the Department of Health and Human Services, or any other governmental agency (all of which documents are incorporated by this reference as if set forth fully herein), are conclusive and direct evidence of fraud which has not and cannot be refuted by any legal means. Therefore, as such, these documents now constitute conclusive evidence of admissions and confessions of fraud and entrapment in any court of law or in any other proceedings. These documents are hereby deemed to be your "means of knowledge". The means of knowledge, especially when knowledge consists of public records, is deemed in law to be "knowledge of the facts". If it appears on record that an individual had notice or information of circumstances which would cause him to inquire and which, if followed, would lead to knowledge, or if it appears that the facts were presumptively within his knowledge, then he will be deemed to have had actual knowledge of the facts and may be subsequently liable for any damage or injury. You, therefore, Gwendolyn S. King, have been given "knowledge of the facts" as they pertain to this conspiracy to commit a fraud against me and my property. Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 41 of 153 This is an actual and constructive notice under California Civil Code (CCC), Sections 18 and 19, that if you fail to obey the law and if you continue to aid and abet the conspiracy, by use of fraud, entrapment and misrepresentation, to deprive me of my de jure state Citizenship and vested property rights, then you will thereby cause me further damage and injury. This will require me to take whatever action I deem is necessary and lawful to effect a remedy. You will take formal notice of the fact that I am a white, natural born state Citizen who is executing this ACTUAL AND CONSTRUCTIVE NOTICE. If called upon as a witness, I will testify to the following facts, which I believe to be true and correct, to the best of my knowledge and understanding: There is NO LAW that would or could compel me to participate in the perpetration of a fraud. There is no provision in the Social Security Act that would not allow me, a white natural born state Citizen, to refrain and withdraw from participating in the Social Security System, which is based upon CONSTRUCTIVE FRAUD as evidenced by the facts as stated in all attached documents and by the additional facts which are stated below. My true status and intent is to be a Common-Law State Citizen as established by the Preamble and the original Constitution for the United States of America (1787) and the original Constitution of California state (1849). Thus, for all the reasons stated herein and elsewhere, I hereby reaffirm my right to rescind, revoke and render null and void nunc pro tunc, as previously established, the number xxx-xx-xxxx in application, in body, and in account. I hereby charge that the Social Security Administration and the Congress of the United States, with full knowledge of the following facts, and with willful and full intent to do so: 1. Did not reveal the truth that the Social Security Act is a compulsory excise tax under Title II and VIII which only creates a revocable statutory right. See "Hearings before a Subcommittee of the Committee on Ways and Means, House of Representatives, 83rd Congress, First Session, on the Legal Status of OASI Benefits", dated November 27, 1953, Part 6, pages 906, 932, 963. This reference incorporates fully and makes Part 6 a part of this ACTUAL AND CONSTRUCTIVE NOTICE. 2. Did not reveal the truth that the Social Security Act IS NOT insurance and does not go into a separate trust fund, nor does it create any vested rights. (See supra, page 1014; see also Fleming v. Nestor, 363 U.S. 603, 610 (1960).) 3. Did deliberately and willfully withhold the information that, upon obtaining a Social Security Number (SSN), a white natural born state Citizen would be required, for the rest of his working life, to pay over 50% of his wages acquired in exchange quid pro quo, as an income tax, as instigated and established for the profit of the Federal Reserve Banks. Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 42 of 153 4. Did not reveal and disclose the truth that, upon obtaining a SSN, a white natural born State Citizen would lose his primary State Citizenship, his Privileges and his Immunities, and become instead a business entity under Social Security, and an enfranchised person under the so-called 14th Amendment, and would lose access to his Constitutional Rights as guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, Amendments 1 through 10; and instead he would become a federal citizen and receive privileges and immunities which are revocable at the whim and pleasure of the Congress. (See Section 1104 of the Social Security Act, and Article I, Section 7 of the California Constitution, and so-called Amendment 14 of the U.S. Constitution.) 5. Did not reveal and disclose the truth that the SSN would be used for the absolute control of the "citizens of the United States" under the so-called 14th Amendment, as evidenced by various orders instituted by the Internal Revenue Service (similar to Nazi Concentration Camp numbers or federal serial numbers). 6. Have willfully and deliberately utilized Section 1104 of the Social Security Act to deprive over 250 million people of their statutory rights and property, as established by the original Social Security Act. 7. Have, by utilizing constructive fraud by non-disclosure, deceit, coercion, intimidation, duress and outright lying, defrauded me of my Common-Law Citizenship and also my inalienable/unalienable rights to life, liberty and property at the instigation of the Federal Reserve Banks for the profit of the Class A Stockholders of those banks. 8. Have willfully and deliberately failed to disclose the above information and do still continue to state that Social Security is "voluntary" and "insurance" when, in fact, it is not and, in fact and operation, it is administered as a compulsory excise tax; and thus to compel me to surrender my constitutional state Citizenship and to deprive me of my Privileges and Immunities as a sovereign state Citizen, in order to be regulated and to pay an "income tax" for the profit of the Federal Reserve Banks, is outright fraud being instituted by the U.S. Congress, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Internal Revenue Service and the Federal Reserve Banks Inc., with the assistance and approval of the U.S. Attorney General's Office, with the intent to establish the ten (10) planks of the Communist Manifesto within the United States as they are now in operation, and to abolish the intent of the United States Constitution, as it was originally established by our founding Fathers, namely, to ordain and establish a Republic, NOT a socialistic Slave State for the enrichment of the Class A Stockholders of the Federal Reserve banks. Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 43 of 153 9. Have 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 in the U.S. Constitution, 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); 28 Tulane Law Review 22; 11 South Carolina Law Quarterly 484.) Neither Congress nor the Social Security Administration nor the Federal Reserve banks had any lawful authority to compel me to apply for a Social Security account and number. Upon application for a Social Security account and number, there was a hidden assumpsit that I became "subject to the jurisdiction of the United States" and thereby became entitled to the privileges and immunities granted by the so-called 14th Amendment, whereby the Congress, the Social Security Administration and the Internal Revenue Service could command my specific performance to discharge any of their third-party debts and obligations. The Social Security contract (SS-5) is not an insurance contract. There is no separate fund or account for each participant. The contract violates federal statutes (see, e.g., Title 18, RICO statutes). I have rescinded my original SS-5 application. I am holding it voidable and IT IS VOID as to the issuing party. Every consideration that arose out of that contract must be returned to me, the lawful owner. I HEREBY COMMAND THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION TO RETURN ALL SUCH CONSIDERATIONS AS ITEMIZED ABOVE. This is also an ACTUAL AND CONSTRUCTIVE NOTICE to all concerned agencies, both State and Federal, that I, John E. Trumane, a white natural born common-law state Citizen, now a Citizen of California state, having no known legal franchise that would cloud my position, hereby give notice to all concerned agencies that their failure to refute each and every point by substantive proof will be considered admissions and confessions and shall establish estoppel by silence and/or acquiescence. The continued deprivation of my substantive rights, my vested property rights and my property as a Citizen of California state, will cause me further injury and damage, and will have to be remedied by whatever actions deemed necessary and lawful. All of the above statements are true and correct, to the best of my current knowledge, and are affirmed under penalties of perjury, without the "United States", under the laws of the United States of America, per 28 USC 1746(1). Notice to principals is notice to agents. Notice to agents is notice to principals. Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 44 of 153 Sincerely yours, /s/ John E. Trumane John E.

The total amount of this demand is itemized as follows: Social Security Taxes Unlawfully Withheld by SSA from John E.

Hardy, Commissioner of Social Security (copy attached). Please take note of my prior communications to the Social Security Administration, in which I have reiterated this demand without claim for any interest or increment for inflation. ACTUAL AND CONSTRUCTIVE NOTICE This is my formal reply to your letter date-stamped August 13, 1982. Please take notice of the fact that I am a de jure California State Citizen, not a de facto federal citizen under the so-called 14th Amendment, nor a ward of the Congress who has a taxable citizenship through Social Security or any other governmental privilege or franchise. No governmental agency has power of attorney over me or my property. This letter and all attachments are based upon the principle that a contract is "Null and Void Ab Initio" in the case of fraud at its inception, and it need not be formally rescinded as a prerequisite to a right of avoidance. See court authority in the case of Bonacci v. Massachusetts Bonding and Insurance Co., 58 Cal 2d 657, 664; 137 P.2d 487 (1943). Therefore, I again demand that you remove my name and number from your system of records, and that you notify any and all affected governmental agencies that I am not subject to, nor am I required to have, a Social Security number or account. I also demand that your agency return all property that was taken from me by your use of various elements of fraud (see TOTAL AMOUNT DUE as shown in the above DEMAND FOR PAYMENT). This letter and attachments, and all previous letters, affidavits, declarations and affirmations sent to you, the Social Security Administration and/or the Department of Health and Human Services, or any other governmental agency (all of which documents are incorporated by this reference as if set forth fully herein), are conclusive and direct evidence of fraud which has not and cannot be refuted by any legal means. Therefore, as such, these documents now constitute conclusive evidence of admissions and confessions of fraud and entrapment in any court of law or in any other proceedings. These documents are hereby deemed to be your "means of knowledge". The means of knowledge, especially when knowledge consists of public records, is deemed in law to be "knowledge of the facts". If it appears on record that an individual had notice or information of circumstances which would cause him to inquire and which, if followed, would lead to knowledge, or if it appears that the facts were presumptively within his knowledge, then he will be deemed to have had actual knowledge of the facts and may be subsequently liable for any damage or injury. You, therefore, Gwendolyn S. King, have been given "knowledge of the facts" as they pertain to this conspiracy to commit a fraud against me and my property. Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 53 of 153 This is an actual and constructive notice under California Civil Code (CCC), Sections 18 and 19, that if you fail to obey the law and if you continue to aid and abet the conspiracy, by use of fraud, entrapment and misrepresentation, to deprive me of my de jure state Citizenship and vested property rights, then you will thereby cause me further damage and injury. This will require me to take whatever action I deem is necessary and lawful to effect a remedy. You will take formal notice of the fact that I am a white, natural born state Citizen who is executing this ACTUAL AND CONSTRUCTIVE NOTICE. If called upon as a witness, I will testify to the following facts, which I believe to be true and correct, to the best of my knowledge and understanding: There is NO LAW that would or could compel me to participate in the perpetration of a fraud. There is no provision in the Social Security Act that would not allow me, a white natural born state Citizen, to refrain and withdraw from participating in the Social Security System, which is based upon CONSTRUCTIVE FRAUD as evidenced by the facts as stated in all attached documents and by the additional facts which are stated below. My true status and intent is to be a Common-Law State Citizen as established by the Preamble and the original Constitution for the United States of America (1787) and the original Constitution of California state (1849). Thus, for all the reasons stated herein and elsewhere, I hereby reaffirm my right to rescind, revoke and render null and void nunc pro tunc, as previously established, the number xxx-xx-xxxx in application, in body, and in account. I hereby charge that the Social Security Administration and the Congress of the United States, with full knowledge of the following facts, and with willful and full intent to do so: 1. Did not reveal the truth that the Social Security Act is a compulsory excise tax under Title II and VIII which only creates a revocable statutory right. See "Hearings before a Subcommittee of the Committee on Ways and Means, House of Representatives, 83rd Congress, First Session, on the Legal Status of OASI Benefits", dated November 27, 1953, Part 6, pages 906, 932, 963. This reference incorporates fully and makes Part 6 a part of this ACTUAL AND CONSTRUCTIVE NOTICE. 2. Did not reveal the truth that the Social Security Act IS NOT insurance and does not go into a separate trust fund, nor does it create any vested rights. (See supra, page 1014; see also Fleming v. Nestor, 363 U.S. 603, 610 (1960).) 3. Did deliberately and willfully withhold the information that, upon obtaining a Social Security Number (SSN), a white natural born state Citizen would be required, for the rest of his working life, to pay over 50% of his wages acquired in exchange quid pro quo, as an income tax, as instigated and established for the profit of the Federal Reserve Banks. Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 54 of 153 4. Did not reveal and disclose the truth that, upon obtaining a SSN, a white natural born State Citizen would lose his primary State Citizenship, his Privileges and his Immunities, and become instead a business entity under Social Security, and an enfranchised person under the so-called 14th Amendment, and would lose access to his Constitutional Rights as guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, Amendments 1 through 10; and instead he would become a federal citizen and receive privileges and immunities which are revocable at the whim and pleasure of the Congress. (See Section 1104 of the Social Security Act, and Article I, Section 7 of the California Constitution, and so-called Amendment 14 of the U.S. Constitution.) 5. Did not reveal and disclose the truth that the SSN would be used for the absolute control of the "citizens of the United States" under the so-called 14th Amendment, as evidenced by various orders instituted by the Internal Revenue Service (similar to Nazi Concentration Camp numbers or federal serial numbers). 6. Have willfully and deliberately utilized Section 1104 of the Social Security Act to deprive over 250 million people of their statutory rights and property, as established by the original Social Security Act. 7. Have, by utilizing constructive fraud by non-disclosure, deceit, coercion, intimidation, duress and outright lying, defrauded me of my Common-Law Citizenship and also my inalienable/unalienable rights to life, liberty and property at the instigation of the Federal Reserve Banks for the profit of the Class A Stockholders of those banks. 8. Have willfully and deliberately failed to disclose the above information and do still continue to state that Social Security is "voluntary" and "insurance" when, in fact, it is not and, in fact and operation, it is administered as a compulsory excise tax; and thus to compel me to surrender my constitutional state Citizenship and to deprive me of my Privileges and Immunities as a sovereign state Citizen, in order to be regulated and to pay an "income tax" for the profit of the Federal Reserve Banks, is outright fraud being instituted by the U.S. Congress, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Internal Revenue Service and the Federal Reserve Banks Inc., with the assistance and approval of the U.S. Attorney General's Office, with the intent to establish the ten (10) planks of the Communist Manifesto within the United States as they are now in operation, and to abolish the intent of the United States Constitution, as it was originally established by our founding Fathers, namely, to ordain and establish a Republic, NOT a socialistic Slave State for the enrichment of the Class A Stockholders of the Federal Reserve banks. Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 55 of 153 9. Have 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 in the U.S. Constitution, 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); 28 Tulane Law Review 22; 11 South Carolina Law Quarterly 484.) Neither Congress nor the Social Security Administration nor the Federal Reserve banks had any lawful authority to compel me to apply for a Social Security account and number. Upon application for a Social Security account and number, there was a hidden assumpsit that I became "subject to the jurisdiction of the United States" and thereby became entitled to the privileges and immunities granted by the so-called 14th Amendment, whereby the Congress, the Social Security Administration and the Internal Revenue Service could command my specific performance to discharge any of their third-party debts and obligations. The Social Security contract (SS-5) is not an insurance contract. There is no separate fund or account for each participant. The contract violates federal statutes (see, e.g., Title 18, RICO statutes). I have rescinded my original SS-5 application. I am holding it voidable and IT IS VOID as to the issuing party. Every consideration that arose out of that contract must be returned to me, the lawful owner. I HEREBY COMMAND THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION TO RETURN ALL SUCH CONSIDERATIONS AS ITEMIZED ABOVE. This is also an ACTUAL AND CONSTRUCTIVE NOTICE to all concerned agencies, both State and Federal, that I, John E. Trumane, a white natural born common-law state Citizen, now a Citizen of California state, having no known legal franchise that would cloud my position, hereby give notice to all concerned agencies that their failure to refute each and every point by substantive proof will be considered admissions and confessions and shall establish estoppel by silence and/or acquiescence. The continued deprivation of my substantive rights, my vested property rights and my property as a Citizen of California state, will cause me further injury and damage, and will have to be remedied by whatever actions deemed necessary and lawful. All of the above statements are true and correct, to the best of my current knowledge, and are affirmed under penalties of perjury, without the "United States", under the laws of the United States of America, per 28 USC 1746(1). Notice to principals is notice to agents. Notice to agents is notice to principals. Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 56 of 153 Sincerely yours, /s/ John E. Trumane John E.

Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 60 of 153 Certified Mail Number: __________________________________________ Date: __________________________________________ FROM: John E. Trumane c/o General Delivery County of Marin San Rafael, California state united States of America TO: Social Security Administration OCRO 6301 Security Boulevard Baltimore, Maryland Postal Zone 21235 Dear Director: I am writing you pursuant to the enclosed "Request for Withdrawal of Application", Form SSA-521, OMB #0960-0015, pursuant to 20 CFR 422.1 through 422.527. I have never been required to have, hold and/or obtain a Social Security account number. Yet, by government's usage of undue influence concerning a birth registration and employment applications, I was misled to believe mistakenly that a Citizen in one of the several united States of America was required to have such an identification number and/or account. I have never been naturalized by Congress, nor are any of my rights conferred by Congress, because I am a natural born Citizen (see 2:1:5 in the U.S. Constitution) and a white male inhabitant in California state. It is quite obvious to me now that the U.S. Constitution does not grant to Congress the power to legislate for, or against, any of the independent sovereign States within the Union of America. Congress can legislate by usage, and under the scope and purview, of the so-called 14th Amendment, under which courts have determined that Congress was enabled to govern artificial persons or entities, which I am not. Moreover, Congress has exclusive legislative jurisdiction over its territories, possessions and enclaves only by virtue of the authorities granted to it by Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17 and Article 4, Section 3, Clause 2 in the U.S. Constitution. I have recently had a physical examination and my learned doctor has told me that I am white, I am an adult, I am a human being, and I have always been such ever since my birth in Worcester, Massachusetts on June 21, 1948. At no time in my life have I ever consented with foreknowledge to being an artificial entity, such as is a creation of Congress or of the "United States", or a Federal citizen, nor was I born in the "United States", nor have I ever been a resident of the "United States". The birth and Social Security registrations that were forced upon me, without my consent of majority and without knowingly intelligent acts on my part, are therefore null and void, ab initio. Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 61 of 153 I refuse to be considered as a stranger in California state, such as a "United States citizen" or a "resident alien". I have never received, nor made application for, any type of related Social Security benefits. I do not vote and therefore I have never knowingly, intentionally and voluntarily consented to these purported Social Security benefits given by Congress. I cannot and will not accept any such quasi contractual agreements, particularly when all associated terms and conditions were not fully disclosed to me. My arguments of law are as follows: THE CODE OF LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TITLE 1 -- GENERAL PROVISIONS CHAPTER 1 -- RULES OF CONSTRUCTION Sec. 1. Words denoting number, gender, and so forth. In determining the meaning of any Act of Congress, unless the context indicates otherwise -- words importing the singular include and apply to several persons, parties or things; words importing the plural include the singular; In reviewing the definition of "State" in Section 1101 of the Social Security Act, we find that the Congress, when they were utilizing a special definition of "State", only wanted to "include" those three specifically defined Federal State(s), (except when used in Section 531) and no more! (You are invited to read Section 531 for yourself.) In this next review, we see that the definition of the "United States" uses a somewhat different construction: Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 62 of 153 TITLE XI -- GENERAL PROVISIONS DEFINITIONS Section 1101(a) (2) The term "United States" when used in a geographical sense means the state(s), Alaska, Hawaii, and the District of Columbia. As you can see, for purposes of statutory construction and for clearer interpretation, it is necessary for me to emphasize the "(s)" in "state(s)" . The term "United States" still defines only the "federal state(s)", and no more; otherwise, Congress would have been specific. The "Ejusdem Generis Rule" must be applied to this construction: Ejusdem Generis. Of the same kind, class, or nature. In the construction of laws, wills, and other instruments, the "ejusdem generis rule" is, that where general words follow an enumeration of persons or things, by words of a particular and specific meaning, such general words are not to be construed in their widest extent, but are to be held as applying only to persons or things of the same general class as those specifically mentioned. [Black's Law Dictionary, Third Edition, 1933, page 645] [see also Bouvier's Law Dictionary, 1914, page 979] and ... Noscitur a Sociis. It is known from its associates. The meaning of a word is or may be known from the accompanying words. 3 Term R. 87; Brown, Max 588. Under this rule general and specific words, capable of analogous meaning, when associated together, take color from each other, so that general words are restricted to a sense analogous to less general .... [Black's Law Dictionary, Third Edition, 1933, page 1256] For further emphasis on this point, we find that the cross- reference to Section 1101(a) of the original Social Security Act has survived and was re-codified into Title 42, United States Code, Chapter 7 and appears in Sections 1301(a)(1) and (2). We shall now review this very important section: TITLE 42 UNITED STATES CODE THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE CHAPTER 7 -- SOCIAL SECURITY SUBCHAPTER XI -- GENERAL PROVISIONS (1982 edition) Section 1301(a) When used in this chapter -- (1) The term "STATE", except where otherwise provided, INCLUDES the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and when used in subchapters IV, V, VII, XI, and XIX of this chapter INCLUDES the Virgin Islands and Guam. Such term when used in subchapters III, IX, and XII of this chapter ALSO INCLUDES the Virgin Islands. Such term when used in subchapter V and in Part B of this subchapter of this chapter ALSO INCLUDES American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. Such term when used in subchapter XIX of this chapter ALSO INCLUDES the Northern Mariana Islands and American Samoa. In the case of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam, subchapters I, X, and XIV, and subchapter XVI of this chapter (as in effect without regard to the amendment made by section 301 of the Social Security Amendments of 1972) shall continue to apply, and the term "STATE" when used in such subchapters (but not in subchapter XVI of this chapter as in effect pursuant to such amendment after December 31, 1973) INCLUDES Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam. Such term when used in subchapter XX of this chapter ALSO INCLUDES the Virgin Islands, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands. Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 63 of 153 (2) The term "UNITED STATES" when used in a geographical sense MEANS, except when otherwise provided, the STATES. (8)(A) The "Federal percentage" for any State (other than Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam) shall be 100 per centum less the State percentage; and the State Percentage shall be that percentage which bears the same ratio to 50 per centum as the square of the per capita income of such State bears to the square of the per capital income of the United States; except that the Federal percentage shall in no case be less than 50 per centum or more than 65 per centum. (8)(B) The Federal percentage for each State (other than Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam) shall be promulgated by the Secretary between October 1 and November 30 of each even-numbered year, on the basis of the average per capital income for EACH State AND of the United States for the three most recent calendar years for which satisfactory data are available from the Department of Commerce. Such promulgation shall be conclusive for each of the eight quarters in the period beginning October 1 next succeeding such promulgation: Provided, That the Secretary shall promulgate such percentages as soon as possible after August 28, 1958, which promulgation shall be conclusive for each of the eleven quarters in the period beginning October 1, 1958, and ending with the close of June 30, 1961. (8)(C) The term "United States" MEANS (but ONLY for purposes of subparagraphs (A) and (B) of this paragraph) THE FIFTY STATES and the District of Columbia. [emphasis added] [see also Compilation of the Social Security Laws] [98th Congress, 2nd Session, Committee Print] [through April 1, 1984, pages 397 and 398] When the original Social Security Act was written, Alaska and Hawaii were Territories (Federal States), but today they are each one of the 50 States of the Union. When Section 1101(a) is laid alongside its surviving Title 42, Chapter 7, Section 1301(a), we see that its substance survived completely intact ... ... except Section 1301(a)(8)(C). Here is a Section that was not applicable, therefore, it was not used in the original Act, from which the "48 States" were "excluded". Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 64 of 153 If you read carefully the portions marked 8(A) and 8(B), you will clearly understand why this specific definition had to be "included". The construction of the terms "State" and "United States" in subparagraph 8(A) is more prima facie evidence that the Social Security Act of the 74th Congress, Session 1, August 14, 1935, as recorded in Chapter 531 of the United States Statutes At Large, was and is intended to operate "within the Federal United States ONLY" (per definition). If you have very carefully read the original Social Security Act, you will discover that the term "United States" is used thirty-four (34) times and never, ever gives the slightest suggestion that it embraced the Forty-Eight (48) Sovereign States of the United States of America which existed in the year 1935. Hopefully, you have carefully read all of the preceding, and have laid the original Sections 1101(a)(1) and 1101(a)(2) alongside 42 U.S.C. 1301(a)(1) and 1301(a)(2) as they presently read. It is obvious that our 50 Sovereign States have derogated their sovereignty by voluntarily requesting admission into the "Federal System of National Socialism". This system was written under the authority of Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17 and Article 4, Section 3, Clause 2, of the U.S. Constitution. These expressed authorities were given only out of necessity to provide the general government with some sort of ability to protect the Congress assembled. In the most extreme contemplation of the Constitution, our Founding Fathers never envisioned that these two Clauses (1:8:17 and 4:3:2) could have been utilized to impose their expressed Legislative Powers upon the second highest Sovereignty, that being the States of the Union (the highest being "We the People"). Considering the proceedings of the convention, the same observation is pertinent which we have previously made as to the 50 States. The Continental Congress never considered it to be possible for these two clauses to be utilized so as to derogate the Supreme Sovereignty of "We the People". If the average man were to read the Revenue Laws and accept them at face value, it would appear that the government has all the advantages and that the entire Title 26 could be interpreted at the whim and caprice of the Revenue Agents. But, this is not the case. The chains of the Constitution do not allow this, and Congress could not and did not enact most of these Revenue Laws for the Sovereigns within the 50 States. When Congress included a particular Revenue Act into Title 26, U.S.C., they were specific and definitive in stating upon whom that Revenue Act had effect, as you will see from the following: Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 65 of 153 UNITED STATES CODE TITLE 26 -- INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SUBTITLE D -- MISCELLANEOUS EXCISE TAXES CHAPTER 38 -- Environmental Taxes Subchapter A -- Tax on Petroleum Section 4611. Imposition of Tax. (a) General Rule. -- There is hereby imposed a tax at the rate specified in subsection (c) on -- (1) crude oil received at a United States Refinery, and (2) petroleum products entered into the United States for consumption, use or warehousing. Section 4612. Definitions and Special Rules. (a) Definitions. -- For purposes of this subchapter -- (4) United States. -- (A) In General. -- The term "United States" means the 50 States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, any possession of the United States, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. The preceding is a true Import Tax, as allowed by the Constitution. It contains all the indicia of being uniform, and therefore it passes the Constitutionality test and can operate within the 50 Sovereign States (see 1:8:1). The language of this Revenue Act is simple, specific and definitive, and it would be impossible to attach the "void for vagueness" doctrine to it. When we consider Section 4612 and examine the evidence presented in this Chapter and Chapter 4, it is clear, when writing the Social Security Act, Congress intended this Revenue Act to operate only within the "Federal United States" (per definition)! The intent of Congress shall not be added to or subtracted from. If a Revenue Act is enacted into Law within the guidelines of the Constitution, then we must obey the Law. The following is another Revenue Act that contains definitions that could be misunderstood if you were not thorough enough in your research, especially when we contemplate the term "United States". Please study the provisions of this Revenue Act and you will see that the definitions are in contradistinction to the definitions generally used within Subtitles "A", "B", and "C" of the United States Code, Title 26: Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 66 of 153 UNITED STATES CODE TITLE 26 -- INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SUBTITLE D -- MISCELLANEOUS EXCISE TAXES CHAPTER 38 -- Environmental Taxes Subchapter B -- Tax on Certain Chemicals Section 4661. Imposition of Tax. (a) General Rule. -- There is hereby imposed a tax on any taxable chemical sold by the manufacturer, producer, or importer thereof. Section 4662. Definitions and Special Rules. (a) Definitions. -- For purposes of this subchapter -- (2) United States. -- The term "United States" has the meaning given such term by section 4612(a)(4). I believe our Supreme Court can close this portion more eloquently then I: Keeping in mind the well settled rule that the citizen is exempt from taxation unless the same is imposed by clear and unequivocal language, and that where the construction of a tax law is doubtful, the doubt is to be resolved in favor of those upon whom the tax is sought to be laid. [Spreckels Sugar Refining Co. v. McLain, 192 U.S. 397, 416] [emphasis added] In the interpretation of statutes levying taxes it is the established rule not to extend their provisions, by implication, beyond the clear import of the language used, or to enlarge their operations so as to embrace matters not specifically pointed out. In case of doubt they are construed most strongly against the Government, and in favor of the citizen. [U.S. v. Wigglesworth, 2 Story 369] [emphasis added] See also Benziger v. U.S., 192 U.S. 38, 55, and Gould v. Gould, 245 U.S. 151, 153 (1917). SOCIAL SECURITY We shall now address our attention to our indentured fellow Citizens, known in the business world as entrepreneurs. These "rugged individuals" still have a flicker of the candle that burned ever so brightly in the early days of our beloved Republic. Today, the country knows these "solid men" as being in "Free Enterprise". The Federal Government, the Internal Revenue Service and the Tax Code (Title 26 U.S.C.) define the aforementioned as "self-employed". Before we proceed to examine this tax, let us lay some ground work. We must hold in our mind that this tax is a Social Security Tax; its foundation is within the Social Security Act in Pari Materia, as follows: Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 67 of 153 Pari Materia. Latin. Of the same matter; on the same subject; as, laws pari materia must be construed with reference to each other. Bac. Abr. "Statute," 1, 3. [Black's Law Dictionary, Third Edition (1933), page 1324] First, I would like to refresh your memory by recalling the definition of "State(s)" and "United States" as those terms are used in the Social Security Act. We shall use the master definition as exhibited in Section 1301 of Title 42, United States Code: TITLE 42 UNITED STATES CODE THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE CHAPTER 7 -- SOCIAL SECURITY SUBCHAPTER XI -- GENERAL PROVISIONS (1982 edition) Section 1301(a) When used in this chapter -- (1) The term "STATE", except where otherwise provided, INCLUDES the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and when used in subchapters IV, V, VII, XI, and XIX of this chapter INCLUDES the Virgin Islands and Guam. Such term when used in subchapters III, IX, and XII of this chapter ALSO INCLUDES the Virgin Islands. Such term when used in subchapter V and in Part B of this subchapter of this chapter ALSO INCLUDES American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. Such term when used in subchapter XIX of this chapter ALSO INCLUDES the Northern Mariana Islands and American Samoa. In the case of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam, subchapters I, X, and XIV, and subchapter XVI of this chapter (as in effect without regard to the amendment made by section 301 of the Social Security Amendments of 1972) shall continue to apply, and the term "STATE" when used in such subchapters (but not in subchapter XVI of this chapter as in effect pursuant to such amendment after December 31, 1973) INCLUDES Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam. Such term when used in subchapter XX of this chapter ALSO INCLUDES the Virgin Islands, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands. (2) The term "UNITED STATES" when used in a geographical sense MEANS, except when otherwise provided, the STATES. (8)(A) The "Federal percentage" for any State (other than Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam) shall be 100 per centum less the State percentage; and the Stage Percentage shall be that percentage which bears the same ratio to 50 per centum as the square of the per capita income of such State bears to the square of the per capital income of the United States; except that the Federal percentage shall in no case be less than 50 per centum or more than 65 per centum. Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 68 of 153 (8)(B) The Federal percentage for each State (other than Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam) shall be promulgated by the Secretary between October 1 and November 30 of each even-numbered year, on the basis of the average per capital income for EACH State AND of the United States for the three most recent calendar years for which satisfactory data are available from the Department of Commerce. Such promulgation shall be conclusive for each of the eight quarters in the period beginning October 1 next succeeding such promulgation: Provided, That the Secretary shall promulgate such percentages as soon as possible after August 28, 1958, which promulgation shall be conclusive for each of the eleven quarters in the period beginning October 1, 1958, and ending with the close of June 30, 1961. (8)(C) The term "United States" MEANS (but ONLY for purposes of subparagraphs (A) and (B) of this paragraph) THE FIFTY STATES and the District of Columbia. [emphasis added] [see also Compilation of the Social Security Laws] [98th Congress, 2nd Session, Committee Print] [through April 1, 1984, pages 397 and 398] We will use a slightly different approach in this Section, but we will adhere to the same principles used previously. The following is a Federal Land Area Chart which will clearly identify what we are discussing when we refer to the "Federal United State(s)". The following will be taken from Section 1301 of Title 42. These land areas will be designated as "Federal State(s)", or "Federal Possession(s)": FEDERAL LAND AREA CHART (1) District of Columbia .......................... Federal State (2) Commonwealth of Puerto Rico ................... Federal State (3) Virgin Islands ................................ Federal State (4) Guam .......................................... Federal State (5) American Samoa ................................ Federal State (6) Northern Mariana Islands ................. Federal Possession (7) Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands ... Federal Possession Inclusive of the aforementioned Federal State(s) and Federal Possession(s), the exclusive legislative jurisdiction of Congress also extends over all places purchased by the consent of the Legislature of one of the 50 State(s), in which the same shall be, for the erection of forts, magazines, arsenals, dock-yards, and other needful buildings (see 1:8:17 in U.S. Constitution). There are many "land areas" within the 50 States that are managed by the Federal Government, but "exclusive" legislative jurisdiction is not always retained in each instance by the Federal Government. I would like to make a few more entries for the Director's future reference. The following are located in the United States Code, Title 26: Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 69 of 153 Section 2014(g) Possession of United States Deemed a Foreign Country. -- For purposes of the credits authorized by this section, each possession of the United States shall be deemed to be a foreign country. and ... Section 638. Continental Shelf Areas. For purposes of applying the provisions of this chapter (including sections 861(a)(3) and 862(a)(3) in the case of the performance of personal services) with respect to mines, oil and gas wells, and other natural deposits -- (1) the term "United States" when used in a geographical sense includes the seabed and subsoil of those submarine areas which are adjacent to the territorial waters of the United States and over which the United States has exclusive rights, in accordance with international law, with respect to the exploration and exploitation of natural resources; and (2) the terms "foreign country" and "possession of the United States" when used in a geographical sense include the seabed and subsoil of those submarine areas which are adjacent to the territorial waters of the foreign country or such possession and over which the foreign country (or the United States in case of such possession) has exclusive rights, in accordance with international law, with respect to the exploration and exploitation of natural resources, but this paragraph shall apply in the case of a foreign country only if it exercises, directly or indirectly, taxing jurisdiction with respect to such exploration or exploitation. No foreign country shall, by reason of the application of this section, be treated as a country contiguous to the United States. and ... Section 7871. Indian Tribal Governments Treated As States for Certain Purposes. (a) General Rule. -- An Indian tribal government shall be treated as a State -- ... (d) Treatment of Subdivisions of Indian Tribal Governments as Political Subdivisions. -- For the purposes specified in subsection (a), a subdivision of an Indian tribal government shall be treated as a political subdivision of a State if (and only if) the Secretary determines (after consultation with the Secretary of the Interior) that such subdivision has been delegated the right to exercise one or more of the substantial governmental functions of the Indian tribal government. Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 70 of 153 Section 7806. Construction of Title. (a) Cross References. -- The cross references in this title to other portions of the title, or other provisions of law, where the word "see" is used, are made only for convenience, and shall be given no legal effect. (b) Arrangement and Classification. -- No inference, implication, or presumption of legislative construction shall be drawn or made by reason of the location or grouping of any particular section or provision or portion of this title, nor shall any table of contents, table of cross references, or similar outline, analysis, or descriptive matter relating to the contents of this title be given any legal effect. The preceding sentence also applies to the sidenotes and ancillary tables contained in the various prints of this Act before its enactment into law. Let us now look at the Sections of Title 26, United States Code, which impose these Social Security TAXES upon the entrepreneurs of the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave: UNITED STATES CODE TITLE 26 -- INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SUBTITLE A -- INCOME TAXES CHAPTER 2 -- TAX ON SELF-EMPLOYMENT INCOME Section 1401. Rate of Tax. (a) Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance. -- In addition to other taxes, there shall be imposed for each taxable year, on the self-employment income of every individual, a tax equal to the following percent of the amount of the self-employment income for such taxable year: In the case of a taxable year Beginning after: And before: Percent December 31, 1983 January 1, 1988 11.40 December 31, 1987 January 1, 1990 12.12 December 31, 1989 12.40 (b) Hospital Insurance. -- In addition to the tax imposed by the preceding subsection, there shall be imposed for each taxable year, on the self-employment income of every individual, a tax equal to the following percent of the amount of the self-employment income for such taxable year: In the case of a taxable year Beginning after: And before: Percent December 31, 1983 January 1, 1985 2.60 December 31, 1984 January 1, 1986 2.70 December 31, 1985 2.90 Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 71 of 153 Please read closely Section (a) of the preceding, then read the heading of this portion of the Code. It is easy to see that this is just another tax! Yet, we were told we were buying "insurance". This is not a premium upon some insurance policy; this is a tax on, and for, my purported dues for a Franchise called National Socialism. The "Other Taxes" imposed in this very same Subtitle are taxes upon any additional profits I might make because of the limited liability the purported sovereign offers me through this scheme. The Inheritance Taxes are in Subtitle B. I know this purported sovereign will not allow me to devolve my share to my Posterity before this sovereign receives a pledge from my posterity. The following may appear complicated, but if you will please bear with me, we can successfully wade through this esoteric mess, and we will reach the obvious conclusion, as follows: We shall begin by determining how the Congress defined self-employment: Section 1402. (b) Self-Employment Income. -- The term "self-employment income" means the net earnings from self-employment derived by an individual (other than a nonresident alien individual, except as provided by an agreement under section 233 of the Social Security Act) during any taxable year .... An individual who is not a citizen of the United States but who is a resident of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, or American Samoa shall not, for purposes of this chapter be considered to be a nonresident alien individual. See also Title 42, United States Code, Chapter 7, Section 411(b). If an individual is a "Nonresident Alien", he would not be subject to this tax! The Government has made a big thing out of the status of this individual, someone who doesn't live in the "United States" and who is a foreigner. Of course, determining the status of this "nonresident alien" would be the obvious place to begin an investigation, in order to discover how lawfully to avoid paying this tax. Evidently, this "nonresident alien" is an individual who doesn't live "here" and who is not a "citizen", but who must have a lot of influence over Congress. First, we should see what the dictionaries have to say about this fellow who appears to have all these special privileges and advantages. In the past, these special privileges and advantages have been denied to the undersigned, a free white male now domiciled, sustaining his life by "Private Enterprise" as a Sovereign At Law in Marin County, California state.

One does not necessarily become a non-resident by absconding or absenting himself from his place of abode, Lindsey v. Dixon, 52 Mo. App. 291; nor does a mere casual or temporary absence on business or pleasure render one a non-resident, even if he may not have a house of usual abode in the state, Crawford v. Wilson, 4 Barb.

In the United States, one born out of the jurisdiction of the United States and who has not been naturalized under their constitution and laws. 2 Kent 50. [page 172] Considering the aforementioned definitions of "Nonresident Alien", we still have an individual who doesn't live here and is a foreigner. The terms are not consistent with reason and logic. Why would so much emphasis be put upon this individual: "One who is neither a resident nor a citizen within the jurisdiction in question"? You have probably figured out to whom the Congress is referring, if you have carefully studied and understood the jurisdictional issues discussed above. I do not live "within" the geographical areas as defined by Congress and as previously demonstrated in our Federal Land Area Chart. I am a Nonresident Alien Individual (per definition) and I do not owe this tax. The exact same principles that applied to "Within the United States" at 26 U.S.C. 3121(b) also apply to the Nonresident Alien described at 26 U.S.C. 1402(b). It appears that this Nonresident Alien individual, who seems to have so much influence and awesome authority over Congress, and who has been exempted by Congress from the taxes imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, Title 26, is none other than "We the People", the "Body Politic". Specifically, in the case of a nonresident alien individual, the quantity "gross income" includes only gross income which is effectively connected with a "United States" trade or business, and gross income which is derived from sources within the "United States" (see 26 U.S.C. 872(a)). The "Other Taxes" imposed by Section 1401(a) and 1401(b) have an emphasis on the term "self-employed", the "person(s)" upon whom Congress intended to lay this "Social Security Tax" in addition to "Other Taxes". Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 74 of 153 There are two additional terms we must define in order to wade through the Internal Revenue Code. These definitions complete our search for understanding to whom Congress is referring when it imposes the Income Tax. Hopefully, our final definitions are: "SELF EMPLOYMENT" AND "TRADE OR BUSINESS" Section 1402. (b) Self-Employment Income. -- The term "self-employment income" means the net earnings from self-employment derived by an individual (other than a nonresident alien individual, except as provided by an agreement under section 233 of the Social Security Act) .... An individual who is not a citizen of the United States but who is a resident of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, or American Samoa shall not, for purposes of this chapter be considered to be a nonresident alien individual. [26 U.S.C. 1402(b)] See also 42 U.S.C., Chapter 7, Section 411(b). As you can see, the residents of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam and American Samoa are not considered to be Nonresident Alien individuals. By now, this should be self-explanatory. Throughout our entire decodification of the Internal Revenue Code, Title 26, we have established that the Social Security Act was written ONLY for the Federal States and Possessions. UNITED STATES CODE TITLE 26 -- INTERNAL REVENUE SUBTITLE F -- PROCEDURE AND ADMINISTRATION CHAPTER 79 -- DEFINITIONS Section 7701. Definitions. (a) When used in this title, where not otherwise distinctly expressed or manifestly incompatible with the intent thereof -- (26) Trade or Business. -- The term "trade or business" includes the performance of the functions of a public office. Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 75 of 153 and ... Section 217. Moving Expenses. (f) Rules for Self-Employed Individuals. -- (1) Definition. -- For purposes of this section, the term "self-employed individual" means an individual who performs personal services -- (A) as the owner of the entire interest in an unincorporated trade or business, or (B) as a partner in a partnership carrying on a trade or business. [26 U.S.C. 217(f)] and ... Section 864. Definitions. (b) Trade or Business within the United States. -- For purposes of this part, part II, and chapter 3, the term "trade or business within the United States" includes the performance of personal services within the United States at any time within the taxable year, but does not include -- (1) Performance of Personal Services for Foreign Employer. -- The performance of personal services (A) for a nonresident alien individual, foreign partnership, or foreign corporation, not engaged in trade or business within the United States .... [26 U.S.C. 864(b)] So, there we have it. We tie the whole thing together, and we reach the final obvious conclusion: The "Taxes" that are imposed are imposed upon "Public Officials" that work for the United States government (per definition). If you have absorbed anything about our Constitution, you know that by the use of Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17 and Article 4, Section 3, Clause 2, the Congress has all the Powers exclusively, and the Social Security Act was written within, and for, this jurisdiction. "We the People" were requested to submit an application and to obtain permission to join this scheme of National Socialism. The "Corporation" founded by "We the People", commonly known as the United States Federal Government, has guaranteed in their Manifesto, known as Title 42, United States Code, the statutory right for subjects to receive according to their needs; and with its extension, known as Title 26, United States Code, subjects are required to pay according to their abilities. I will again use documents published by the Federal Government for this demonstration: Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 76 of 153 9.21-1 Meaning of net income (a) The tax imposed by Title 1 is upon income. Neither income exempted by statute or fundamental law, nor expenses incurred in connection therewith, other than interest, enter into the computation of net income as defined by section 21. [Code of Federal Regulations, Title 26 (1939), page 1623] [emphasis added] If I have and use a Social Security Account Number, can the "Fundamental Law" portion of Section 9.21-1 apply to me? Answer: No. Am I compelled to give up my natural rights? Answer: No. 9.22(b)-1 Exemptions; exclusions from gross income. Certain items of income specified in section 22(b) are exempt from tax and may be excluded from gross income. These items, however, are exempt only to the extent and in the amount specified. No other items are exempt from gross income except (1) those items of income which are, under the Constitution not taxable by the Federal Government .... [Code of Federal Regulations, Title 26 (1939), page 1632] By a voluntary request for, and voluntary use of, the Federal Franchise called Social Security, a Sovereign individual rescinds his rights under the Constitution and allows himself to be a "subject" of the Congress. This I will not do. 9.54-1 Records and income tax forms. (a) Every person subject to the tax, except persons whose gross income (1) consists solely of salary, wages, or similar compensation for personal services rendered, or (2) arises solely from the business of growing and selling products of the soil, shall ... keep such permanent books of account or records .... [Code of Federal Regulations, Title 26 (1939), page 1738] The Social Security Franchise would make me a "taxpayer"; therefore sections 9.21-1, 9.22(b)-1, and 9.54-1 would not apply to me. My "Wages with respect to Employment" would be the formula by which the revenue laws measure the taxes. The "Self- Employed" compensation for personal services rendered by a person who receives it "From Sources within the United States" is the formula by which the Revenue Laws measure the taxes. Therefore, I would be under a duty to keep such books and records, and I would be required to file a "Tax Return" by regulations promulgated by the Secretary. The provisions of Article 1, Section 2, Clause 3 and Article 1, Section 9, Clause 4 and, for that matter, any of the Articles of the Bill of Rights, which specifically protect the same individual, are of no value to any individual who applies for, and uses, a number that encompasses the Social Security scheme! If I wish to conduct "Private Enterprise", I must do it on my own, without assistance from government. I have never asked for assistance, nor will I. Henry Campbell Black defines these rights as natural rights of Common Law Entrepreneurs: Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 77 of 153 Proprietary, n. A proprietor or owner; one who has the exclusive title to a thing; one who possesses or holds the title to a thing in his own right. The grantees of Pennsylvania and Maryland and their heirs were called the proprietaries of those provinces. Webster. Proprietary rights. Those rights which an owner of property has by virtue of his ownership. When proprietary rights are opposed by acquired rights, such as easements, franchises, etc., they are more often called "Natural Rights". Sweet. [Black's Law Dictionary, Third Edition (1933), page 1449] Therefore, as you can plainly see, you had no authority to compel me to join Social Security. You had no authority to tell Citizens in the States of the Union that Social Security account numbers were mandatory. The only issue left to be resolved is fraud, treason and sedition. The Social Security scheme was a trap to create slaves of the remaining free people within the Sovereign States of the Union. I will not be one of them. You see, I took the time to read the "Analysis of the Social Security System, Hearings before a Subcommittee of the Committee on Ways and Means, House of Representatives, Eighty-Third Congress, First Session on The Legal Status of OASI Benefits, November 27, 1953." Do not tell me that this document does not contain irrefutable proof and evidence of fraud. For example, see pages 935 and 936. Therefore, you will now notify all pertinent and appropriate Federal and State entities of this withdrawal, thereby restoring partially what has been taken from me, due to your constructive fraud.

Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 82 of 153 Certified Mail #P xxx xxx xxx Return Receipt Requested c/o General Delivery San Rafael California state July 15, 1982 Darrell Blevins SSA Privacy Officer Department of Health and Human Services Social Security Administration Baltimore, Maryland Dear Mr. Blevins: Your letter to me, date-stamped July 7, 1982, and postmarked July 9, 1982, contains erroneous presumptions by you which are hereby rebutted as follows: "Wish to Revoke" Your letter contains statements which evidence a presumption on your part that I wish to revoke my signature on my Application for a Social Security Card (SS-5) and other documents. This presumption of yours is hereby rebutted. I do not "wish" to "revoke" my signature on these documents, nor have I requested that you "honor" any "request" by me, because such a "request" could be construed to mean that my original SS-5 was valid at its inception and that I now need your approval for such a "request". On the contrary, my letter of May 5, 1982 carefully utilized the phrase "to unilaterally revoke" so as to make it clear that I have unilaterally declared the contract void from its inception and I have put an end to it as though it never were. This clear interpretation of my words, and the clear intent of those words, are fully supported by the following definitions in Black's Law Dictionary, Sixth Edition, to wit: Revoke. To annul or make void by recalling or taking back. To cancel, rescind, repeal, or reverse, as to revoke a license or will. Rescission of contract. To declare a contract void in its inception and to put an end to it as though it never were. A "rescission" amounts to the unmaking of a contract, or an undoing of it from the beginning, and not merely a termination, and it may be effected ... by one of the parties declaring rescission of contract without consent of other if a legally sufficient ground therefor exists .... It necessarily involves a repudiation of the contract and a refusal of the moving party to be further bound by it. ... An act of an equitable nature in which a party seeks to be relieved of his obligations under a contract on the grounds of mutual mistake, fraud, impossibility, etc. Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 83 of 153 When I use the phrase "to unilaterally revoke" in this and all prior documents served on your Agency, this phrase has a meaning that is synonymous with the phrase "to rescind the contract". That these meanings are synonymous is clearly substantiated by the above definitions from Black's Law Dictionary, Sixth Edition. This letter and all my prior documents detail numerous valid grounds for rescinding the original Social Security contract in application, in account, and in number. Mutual mistake, fraud, duress and coercion are legally sufficient grounds on which I am entitled to repudiate, and refuse to be further bound in any way by, my original Social Security application, account, and number. The burden of proving fraud generally falls on the moving party. I have already carried my burden of proving the mutual mistake, fraud, duress and coercion which together constitute legally sufficient grounds for unilaterally repudiating the contract(s) in question (see my letter of May 5, 1982, page 4). To the extent that, and insofar as my signature dated March 23, 1982 on Form SSA-521 can or should be construed to mean that I have "requested" consent of the Social Security Administration for withdrawal of my original SS-5 application, I hereby withdraw any such "request" because it was a mistake; I unilaterally rescind my signature on this Form SSA-521; and I unilaterally rescind my original SS-5 application without the consent of your Agency, for the several reasons stated in this letter and in all other documents previously served on your Agency. Nothing in this letter, or in any previous documents already served on your Agency, can or should be construed in any way as a grant of jurisdiction to the "United States", its agencies or its assigns. General Rebuttal Your letter contains statements which have been made contrary to numerous facts which are contained in my Affidavits and other documents previously served on your Agency. You and your Agency have now had ample opportunity to rebut any and all of those facts, and neither you nor your Agency have now done so. Accordingly, your failure to rebut any of those facts now renders them all conclusive, permanently for the record. You and your Agency are now forever barred and estopped from challenging those facts as stated. As a member of the Sovereignty by right of birth and hereditary succession, I belong to that group by whose authority the United States Constitution was created. The Congress was created, in turn, by that Constitution. The Social Security Act to which you refer is, in turn, a creation of that Congress. Regardless of your status prior to becoming an employee of the federal government, your current status as a federal employee necessarily subjects you to the letter of that "law". I am not subject either to the letter or to the spirit of that "law", however. Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 84 of 153 Even though and regardless of the fact that you are evidently restricted by law from unilaterally rescinding an original SS-5 application, I am not subject to any such restriction. As someone who has explicitly reserved all my unalienable rights without prejudice to any of my unalienable rights, I specifically retain my right to rescind and cancel my original Social Security application, for the several reasons stated in my Affidavits, in this letter and in other documents, and to render it null and void from its inception. The documents which I have already served on the Social Security Administration, including this letter to you, are prima facie evidence that I have already exercised that right, the exercise of which is entirely within my Sovereign power and authority to do. The Social Security Administration is bound by the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code. The conclusive facts as stated in my Affidavits and other documents now constitute material proof that my original Social Security application was an unconscionable contract ab initio (from its inception) because, among many other reasons, it was lacking in meaningful choice on my part. You and your Agency have already been notified via those documents, and I hereby notify you and your Agency again, that I have explicitly reserved all my unalienable rights, without prejudice to any of my unalienable rights. This means 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. Furthermore, my explicit reservation of rights has served notice upon all agencies of government, including but not limited to the Social Security Administration, of the "Remedy" which you 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. On the contrary, my previous entry into the Social Security system was unknowing, involuntary, and unintentional; it was based upon demonstrable misrepresentation, fraud, duress and coercion by the federal government because: 1. it was imposed upon me under duress and coercion by a foreign employer who had been deceived, as indeed are virtually all employers, into believing that Social Security was mandatory, and who would not otherwise engage me; 2. I too was misled to believe, by government-fostered fraud and misrepresentation, that participation in the Social Security system was mandatory for me; 3. the Social Security Administration did not disclose to me that participation was strictly voluntary, or that employers are under no requirement to hire only individuals who have a Social Security Number; 4. the Social Security Administration did not reveal to me the implications of thus being connected to the "United States", which entity has its origin and jurisdiction in 1:8:17 and 4:3:2 in the U.S. Constitution (aka "The Federal Zone"); Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 85 of 153 5. the Social Security Administration did not reveal that the monies collected from me were treated like an excise tax and were not allocated to a Social Security or other fund; 6. the Social Security Administration did not disclose to me that earnings from labor, in and of themselves, are not a revenue-taxable activity that is subject to excise taxes; 7. the Social Security Administration did not and has not informed me that the Federal Insurance Contributions Act is neither a contribution nor insurance, but an excise tax, thus being misleading and misrepresented by title; and 8. I was a minor not of lawful, contracting age when I entered the Social Security contract. For these reasons, and for the numerous reasons already documented in the Affidavits and other documents previously served on your Agency, I reiterate my prior election to renounce my Social Security Number and withdraw from the system entirely. I have not heretofore received any benefits or payments under the Social Security Act. Having made this election to discontinue all further participation in the Social Security system, I hereby demand the return of all monies collected from me under the guise of Social Security and Hospital Insurance. Out of sheer generosity, I make this demand without claim for any interest or increment for inflation. I further agree to waive all future Social Security benefits that have, or would have, accrued to me by virtue of my prior uninformed, fraudulent, and coerced submission to the Social Security contract. My Social Security application, contract, account and number are, therefore, null and void from their inception, as are any adhesions which may, now or in the future, be claimed by agencies of the federal government, or by any undisclosed third-parties such as the Federal Reserve banks and/or the International Monetary Fund, as a result of an application, contract, account and number that are all null and void ab initio (from their inception). Notice of Personal Liability Any further attempts by you and/or others in your Agency to assert the validity of that invalid application, contract, account, and/or number, in the face of clear and uncontested evidence to the contrary, will be noted and can be used as prima facie evidence of your willingness to violate and otherwise contravene my unalienable rights and my Constitutionally secured rights as a Sovereign Freeman. These rights include, but are not limited to, those which are enumerated in my Affidavits and other documents, including this letter. Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 86 of 153 You are hereby warned that you can and will be held personally liable for any future attempts to violate my fundamental, unalienable rights by acts on your part which attempt to compel my specific performance to any third-party debt or obligation created through the unlawful assertion of an invalid Social Security application, contract, account and/or number. As an employee of the federal government, you are under a legal obligation to recognize that: "Constructive fraud as well as actual fraud may be the basis of cancellation of an instrument," El Paso Natural Gas Co. v. Kysar Insurance Co., 605 Pacific 2d 240 (1979). Your ignorance of the law is no excuse in this matter. General Assertion of Rights For your information, I am not subject to any foreign jurisdiction by reason of any valid contract or commercial agreement resulting in adhesion across America, nor are millions of other Sovereign 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 U.S. 742, 748 (1970). I have given no such waivers, nor is it possible that I could have given such waivers by reason of a Social Security application executed long before my age of majority. Therefore, the Social Security application, contract, account and number at issue are all necessarily null and void, ab initio, notwithstanding any and all unsubstantiated statements by you to the contrary. Notice of Past Deadline Please also take note that your response to my letter of May 5, 1982 to Delmar D. Dowling was not timely. A timely response to my letter of May 5, 1982 would have been addressed on or before June 5, 1982. Your letter to me was date-stamped July 7, 1982. Therefore, I am entitled to the conclusive presumption that, after June 5, 1982, you were barred, by virtue of the doctrine of estoppel by acquiescence, from any further challenge to my statements as contained herein and as contained in all my documents previously served on your Agency. Cease and Desist Order Therefore, you and all others within your Agency are hereby ordered to cease and desist any further attempts to assert the validity of an invalid Social Security application, contract, account, and number, for all of the reasons stated hereinabove and in all previous documents already served on your Agency. Your failure to obey this order to cease and desist will make it necessary for me to serve on your person the legal documents necessary to substantiate my claim of one or more violations by you of my fundamental, inherent rights, which documents shall include but not be limited to affidavits of probable cause, copies of which will be forwarded to appropriate government officials of California state.

Trumane, Sui Juris WITH EXPLICIT RESERVATION OF ALL MY RIGHTS AND WITHOUT PREJUDICE TO ANY OF MY RIGHTS Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 91 of 153 Certified Mail #P xxx xxx xxx Return Receipt Requested c/o General Delivery San Rafael California state May 5, 1982 Delmar D. Dowling, Director Office of Public Inquiries Social Security Administration 6301 Security Boulevard Baltimore, Maryland Dear Mr. Dowling: Your letter to me, date-stamped April 15, 1982 and postmarked April 28, 1982, contains a multitude of erroneous, irrelevant, and immaterial presumptions which are rebutted as follows: "Employee" Presumption Your letter contains a number of statements which evidence a presumption on your part that I am an "employee" as that term is defined in Title 26 and in Title 42. I am not an "employee"; I am not a "covered employee"; I am not an "employer"; and I do not have an "employer". The numerous legal documents which I have already served on the Social Security Administration contain absolutely no statements which even remotely suggest that I am an "employee", or that I have an "employer", as those terms are defined by federal statute. Your willingness to introduce into the administrative record statements which are erroneous, irrelevant, and immaterial evidences bad faith on your part. You are under the obligation of good faith imposed at several places in the Uniform Commercial Code (see e.g. 1-203). Immigration and Naturalization Your letter recommends that I contact the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) for a determination regarding my "citizenship status". Again, the numerous legal documents which I have already served on the Social Security Administration contain absolutely no statements which even remotely suggest that I immigrated into this country, or that I was ever naturalized. If you had read these documents carefully, you would have discovered that I was natural born on June 21, 1948 in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and I have inhabited California state since 1952 (see 2:1:5 in the Constitution for the united States of America). As such, I am a member of the Sovereignty, and there is no reason to expect that INS will have any information pertinent to my status as a Sovereign. Again, your evident failure to read all the statements contained in my Affidavits and other documents constitutes further proof of bad faith on your part. Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 92 of 153 There is absolutely no need for me to request of the INS a determination concerning whether I am a "U.S. citizen" as that term is defined in Titles 26, 42 and their regulations. My right to be "present" in these united States of America is a birthright which is unalienable, fundamental and inherent. According to the Declaration of Independence, I am endowed with this birthright by my Creator, and not by any one or any thing else, and certainly not by the Immigration and Naturalization Service and not by the Social Security Administration in any event. You have stated that you cannot honor my request to adjust your records regarding my "citizenship" status because, as you state, the Social Security Administration does not have the authority to determine whether my "status should be changed". Your statement contains a non sequitor. First of all, I have not requested a determination whether my status should be changed. I have not requested any change of status. My status has not changed, and there is no need to change my status. The administrative record is another matter, however. If it contains errors of any kind, you are under the obligation of good faith to correct those errors, if and when they are discovered. If that administrative record contains data and/or other information which suggests that I am a "United States citizen" as that term is defined in Title 26 and Title 42, then the contents of that record were premised upon a mutual mistake of fact regarding my true status. Accordingly, you are under the obligation of good faith to correct any and all errors contained in that administrative record, using the correct information already supplied to you. You are expected to understand that correcting errors is entirely different from changing my status. Constitutionality of Social Security Act Your letter contains a statement that the Supreme Court has held the Social Security Act to be constitutional not long after the law's enactment in the 1930s. That may be so, but there is nothing in my documents to suggest that I have challenged the constitutionality of the Social Security Act. I certainly do reserve the right to so challenge the Act, at any time in the future. Nothing in this letter, nor in my Affidavits, nor in other documents already served on your Agency, can or should be construed to mean that I have waived my right to challenge the constitutionality of any act of Congress, now or in the future. General Rebuttal Your letter contains a set of statements which have been made contrary to numerous facts which are contained in my Affidavits and other documents served on your Agency. You have now had ample opportunity to rebut any and all of those facts, and you have not done so. Accordingly, your failure to rebut any of those facts now renders them all conclusive, permanently for the record. You are now forever barred and estopped from challenging those facts as stated. Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 93 of 153 As a member of the Sovereignty by right of birth and hereditary succession, I belong to that group by whose authority the United States Constitution was created. The Congress was created, in turn, by that Constitution. The Social Security Act to which you refer is, in turn, a creation of that Congress. Regardless of your status prior to becoming an employee of the federal government, your current status as a federal employee necessarily subjects you to the letter of that "law". I am not subject either to the letter or to the spirit of that law, however. Even though you are evidently restricted by law from unilaterally revoking an original SS-5 application, I am not subject to any such restriction.

King Commissioner of Social Security Social Security Administration 6401 Security Boulevard Baltimore, Maryland Subject: DEMAND FOR PAYMENT ACTUAL AND CONSTRUCTIVE NOTICE Dear Ms. King: This is my lawful and formal DEMAND FOR PAYMENT of Social Security taxes unlawfully withheld from my untaxable personal compensation that was exempt from tax under the fundamental Law during the calendar years 1965 to 1986, inclusive. The total amount of this demand is itemized as follows: Social Security Taxes Unlawfully Withheld by SSA from John E.

Hardy, Commissioner of Social Security (copy attached). Please take note of my prior communications to the Social Security Administration, in which I have reiterated this demand without claim for any interest or increment for inflation. ACTUAL AND CONSTRUCTIVE NOTICE This is my formal reply to your letter date-stamped August 13, 1982. Please take notice of the fact that I am a de jure California State Citizen, not a de facto federal citizen under the so-called 14th Amendment, nor a ward of the Congress who has a taxable citizenship through Social Security or any other governmental privilege or franchise. No governmental agency has power of attorney over me or my property. This letter and all attachments are based upon the principle that a contract is "Null and Void Ab Initio" in the case of fraud at its inception, and it need not be formally rescinded as a prerequisite to a right of avoidance. See court authority in the case of Bonacci v. Massachusetts Bonding and Insurance Co., 58 Cal 2d 657, 664; 137 P.2d 487 (1943). Therefore, I again demand that you remove my name and number from your system of records, and that you notify any and all affected governmental agencies that I am not subject to, nor am I required to have, a Social Security number or account. I also demand that your agency return all property that was taken from me by your use of various elements of fraud (see TOTAL AMOUNT DUE as shown in the above DEMAND FOR PAYMENT). This letter and attachments, and all previous letters, affidavits, declarations and affirmations sent to you, the Social Security Administration and/or the Department of Health and Human Services, or any other governmental agency (all of which documents are incorporated by this reference as if set forth fully herein), are conclusive and direct evidence of fraud which has not and cannot be refuted by any legal means. Therefore, as such, these documents now constitute conclusive evidence of admissions and confessions of fraud and entrapment in any court of law or in any other proceedings. These documents are hereby deemed to be your "means of knowledge". The means of knowledge, especially when knowledge consists of public records, is deemed in law to be "knowledge of the facts". If it appears on record that an individual had notice or information of circumstances which would cause him to inquire and which, if followed, would lead to knowledge, or if it appears that the facts were presumptively within his knowledge, then he will be deemed to have had actual knowledge of the facts and may be subsequently liable for any damage or injury. You, therefore, Gwendolyn S. King, have been given "knowledge of the facts" as they pertain to this conspiracy to commit a fraud against me and my property. Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 104 of 153 This is an actual and constructive notice under California Civil Code (CCC), Sections 18 and 19, that if you fail to obey the law and if you continue to aid and abet the conspiracy, by use of fraud, entrapment and misrepresentation, to deprive me of my de jure state Citizenship and vested property rights, then you will thereby cause me further damage and injury. This will require me to take whatever action I deem is necessary and lawful to effect a remedy. You will take formal notice of the fact that I am a white, natural born state Citizen who is executing this ACTUAL AND CONSTRUCTIVE NOTICE. If called upon as a witness, I will testify to the following facts, which I believe to be true and correct, to the best of my knowledge and understanding: There is NO LAW that would or could compel me to participate in the perpetration of a fraud. There is no provision in the Social Security Act that would not allow me, a white natural born state Citizen, to refrain and withdraw from participating in the Social Security System, which is based upon CONSTRUCTIVE FRAUD as evidenced by the facts as stated in all attached documents and by the additional facts which are stated below. My true status and intent is to be a Common-Law State Citizen as established by the Preamble and the original Constitution for the United States of America (1787) and the original Constitution of California state (1849). Thus, for all the reasons stated herein and elsewhere, I hereby reaffirm my right to rescind, revoke and render null and void nunc pro tunc, as previously established, the number xxx-xx-xxxx in application, in body, and in account. I hereby charge that the Social Security Administration and the Congress of the United States, with full knowledge of the following facts, and with willful and full intent to do so: 1. Did not reveal the truth that the Social Security Act is a compulsory excise tax under Title II and VIII which only creates a revocable statutory right. See "Hearings before a Subcommittee of the Committee on Ways and Means, House of Representatives, 83rd Congress, First Session, on the Legal Status of OASI Benefits", dated November 27, 1953, Part 6, pages 906, 932, 963. This reference incorporates fully and makes Part 6 a part of this ACTUAL AND CONSTRUCTIVE NOTICE. 2. Did not reveal the truth that the Social Security Act IS NOT insurance and does not go into a separate trust fund, nor does it create any vested rights. (See supra, page 1014; see also Fleming v. Nestor, 363 U.S. 603, 610 (1960).) 3. Did deliberately and willfully withhold the information that, upon obtaining a Social Security Number (SSN), a white natural born state Citizen would be required, for the rest of his working life, to pay over 50% of his wages acquired in exchange quid pro quo, as an income tax, as instigated and established for the profit of the Federal Reserve Banks. Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 105 of 153 4. Did not reveal and disclose the truth that, upon obtaining a SSN, a white natural born State Citizen would lose his primary State Citizenship, his Privileges and his Immunities, and become instead a business entity under Social Security, and an enfranchised person under the so-called 14th Amendment, and would lose access to his Constitutional Rights as guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, Amendments 1 through 10; and instead he would become a federal citizen and receive privileges and immunities which are revocable at the whim and pleasure of the Congress. (See Section 1104 of the Social Security Act, and Article I, Section 7 of the California Constitution, and so-called Amendment 14 of the U.S. Constitution.) 5. Did not reveal and disclose the truth that the SSN would be used for the absolute control of the "citizens of the United States" under the so-called 14th Amendment, as evidenced by various orders instituted by the Internal Revenue Service (similar to Nazi Concentration Camp numbers or federal serial numbers). 6. Have willfully and deliberately utilized Section 1104 of the Social Security Act to deprive over 250 million people of their statutory rights and property, as established by the original Social Security Act. 7. Have, by utilizing constructive fraud by non-disclosure, deceit, coercion, intimidation, duress and outright lying, defrauded me of my Common-Law Citizenship and also my inalienable/unalienable rights to life, liberty and property at the instigation of the Federal Reserve Banks for the profit of the Class A Stockholders of those banks. 8. Have willfully and deliberately failed to disclose the above information and do still continue to state that Social Security is "voluntary" and "insurance" when, in fact, it is not and, in fact and operation, it is administered as a compulsory excise tax; and thus to compel me to surrender my constitutional state Citizenship and to deprive me of my Privileges and Immunities as a sovereign state Citizen, in order to be regulated and to pay an "income tax" for the profit of the Federal Reserve Banks, is outright fraud being instituted by the U.S. Congress, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Internal Revenue Service and the Federal Reserve Banks Inc., with the assistance and approval of the U.S. Attorney General's Office, with the intent to establish the ten (10) planks of the Communist Manifesto within the United States as they are now in operation, and to abolish the intent of the United States Constitution, as it was originally established by our founding Fathers, namely, to ordain and establish a Republic, NOT a socialistic Slave State for the enrichment of the Class A Stockholders of the Federal Reserve banks. Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 106 of 153 9. Have 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 in the U.S. Constitution, 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); 28 Tulane Law Review 22; 11 South Carolina Law Quarterly 484.) Neither Congress nor the Social Security Administration nor the Federal Reserve banks had any lawful authority to compel me to apply for a Social Security account and number. Upon application for a Social Security account and number, there was a hidden assumpsit that I became "subject to the jurisdiction of the United States" and thereby became entitled to the privileges and immunities granted by the so-called 14th Amendment, whereby the Congress, the Social Security Administration and the Internal Revenue Service could command my specific performance to discharge any of their third-party debts and obligations. The Social Security contract (SS-5) is not an insurance contract. There is no separate fund or account for each participant. The contract violates federal statutes (see, e.g., Title 18, RICO statutes). I have rescinded my original SS-5 application. I am holding it voidable and IT IS VOID as to the issuing party. Every consideration that arose out of that contract must be returned to me, the lawful owner. I HEREBY COMMAND THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION TO RETURN ALL SUCH CONSIDERATIONS AS ITEMIZED ABOVE. This is also an ACTUAL AND CONSTRUCTIVE NOTICE to all concerned agencies, both State and Federal, that I, John E. Trumane, a white natural born common-law state Citizen, now a Citizen of California state, having no known legal franchise that would cloud my position, hereby give notice to all concerned agencies that their failure to refute each and every point by substantive proof will be considered admissions and confessions and shall establish estoppel by silence and/or acquiescence. The continued deprivation of my substantive rights, my vested property rights and my property as a Citizen of California state, will cause me further injury and damage, and will have to be remedied by whatever actions deemed necessary and lawful. All of the above statements are true and correct, to the best of my current knowledge, and are affirmed under penalties of perjury, without the "United States", under the laws of the United States of America, per 28 USC 1746(1). Notice to principals is notice to agents. Notice to agents is notice to principals. Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 107 of 153 Sincerely yours, /s/ John E. Trumane John E.

Neither Congress nor the Social Security Administration nor the Federal Reserve banks had any lawful authority to compel me to apply for a Social Security account and number. Upon application for a Social Security account and number, there was a hidden assumpsit that I became "subject to the jurisdiction of the United States" and thereby became entitled to the privileges and immunities granted by the so-called 14th Amendment, whereby the Congress, the Social Security Administration and the Internal Revenue Service could command my specific performance to discharge any of their third-party debts and obligations. The Social Security contract (SS-5) is not an insurance contract. There is no separate fund or account for each participant. The contract violates federal statutes (see, e.g., Title 18, RICO statutes). I have rescinded my original SS-5 application. I am holding it voidable and IT IS VOID as to the issuing party. Every consideration that arose out of that contract must be returned to me, the lawful owner. I HEREBY COMMAND THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION TO RETURN ALL SUCH CONSIDERATIONS AS ITEMIZED ABOVE. This is also an ACTUAL AND CONSTRUCTIVE NOTICE to all concerned agencies, both State and Federal, that I, John E. Trumane, a white natural born common-law state Citizen, now a Citizen of California state, having no known legal franchise that would cloud my position, hereby give notice to all concerned agencies that their failure to refute each and every point by substantive proof will be considered admissions and confessions and shall establish estoppel by silence and/or acquiescence. The continued deprivation of my substantive rights, my vested property rights and my property as a Citizen of California state, will cause me further injury and damage, and will have to be remedied by whatever actions deemed necessary and lawful. All of the above statements are true and correct, to the best of my current knowledge, and are affirmed under penalties of perjury, without the "United States", under the laws of the United States of America, per 28 USC 1746(1). Notice to principals is notice to agents. Notice to agents is notice to principals. Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 119 of 153 Sincerely yours, /s/ John E. Trumane John E.

Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 123 of 153 Certified Mail Number: __________________________________________ Date: __________________________________________ FROM: John E. Trumane c/o General Delivery County of Marin San Rafael, California state united States of America TO: Social Security Administration OCRO 6301 Security Boulevard Baltimore, Maryland Postal Zone 21235 Dear Director: I am writing you pursuant to the enclosed "Request for Withdrawal of Application", Form SSA-521, OMB #0960-0015, pursuant to 20 CFR 422.1 through 422.527. I have never been required to have, hold and/or obtain a Social Security account number. Yet, by government's usage of undue influence concerning a birth registration and employment applications, I was misled to believe mistakenly that a Citizen in one of the several united States of America was required to have such an identification number and/or account. I have never been naturalized by Congress, nor are any of my rights conferred by Congress, because I am a natural born Citizen (see 2:1:5 in the U.S. Constitution) and a white male inhabitant in California state. It is quite obvious to me now that the U.S. Constitution does not grant to Congress the power to legislate for, or against, any of the independent sovereign States within the Union of America. Congress can legislate by usage, and under the scope and purview, of the so-called 14th Amendment, under which courts have determined that Congress was enabled to govern artificial persons or entities, which I am not. Moreover, Congress has exclusive legislative jurisdiction over its territories, possessions and enclaves only by virtue of the authorities granted to it by Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17 and Article 4, Section 3, Clause 2 in the U.S. Constitution. I have recently had a physical examination and my learned doctor has told me that I am white, I am an adult, I am a human being, and I have always been such ever since my birth in Worcester, Massachusetts on June 21, 1948. At no time in my life have I ever consented with foreknowledge to being an artificial entity, such as is a creation of Congress or of the "United States", or a Federal citizen, nor was I born in the "United States", nor have I ever been a resident of the "United States". The birth and Social Security registrations that were forced upon me, without my consent of majority and without knowingly intelligent acts on my part, are therefore null and void, ab initio. Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 124 of 153 I refuse to be considered as a stranger in California state, such as a "United States citizen" or a "resident alien". I have never received, nor made application for, any type of related Social Security benefits. I do not vote and therefore I have never knowingly, intentionally and voluntarily consented to these purported Social Security benefits given by Congress. I cannot and will not accept any such quasi contractual agreements, particularly when all associated terms and conditions were not fully disclosed to me. My arguments of law are as follows: THE CODE OF LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TITLE 1 -- GENERAL PROVISIONS CHAPTER 1 -- RULES OF CONSTRUCTION Sec. 1. Words denoting number, gender, and so forth. In determining the meaning of any Act of Congress, unless the context indicates otherwise -- words importing the singular include and apply to several persons, parties or things; words importing the plural include the singular; In reviewing the definition of "State" in Section 1101 of the Social Security Act, we find that the Congress, when they were utilizing a special definition of "State", only wanted to "include" those three specifically defined Federal State(s), (except when used in Section 531) and no more! (You are invited to read Section 531 for yourself.) In this next review, we see that the definition of the "United States" uses a somewhat different construction: TITLE XI -- GENERAL PROVISIONS DEFINITIONS Section 1101(a) (2) The term "United States" when used in a geographical sense means the state(s), Alaska, Hawaii, and the District of Columbia. As you can see, for purposes of statutory construction and for clearer interpretation, it is necessary for me to emphasize the "(s)" in "state(s)" . The term "United States" still defines only the "federal state(s)", and no more; otherwise, Congress would have been specific. The "Ejusdem Generis Rule" must be applied to this construction: Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 125 of 153 Ejusdem Generis. Of the same kind, class, or nature. In the construction of laws, wills, and other instruments, the "ejusdem generis rule" is, that where general words follow an enumeration of persons or things, by words of a particular and specific meaning, such general words are not to be construed in their widest extent, but are to be held as applying only to persons or things of the same general class as those specifically mentioned. [Black's Law Dictionary, Third Edition, 1933, page 645] [see also Bouvier's Law Dictionary, 1914, page 979] and ... Noscitur a Sociis. It is known from its associates. The meaning of a word is or may be known from the accompanying words. 3 Term R. 87; Brown, Max 588. Under this rule general and specific words, capable of analogous meaning, when associated together, take color from each other, so that general words are restricted to a sense analogous to less general .... [Black's Law Dictionary, Third Edition, 1933, page 1256] For further emphasis on this point, we find that the cross- reference to Section 1101(a) of the original Social Security Act has survived and was re-codified into Title 42, United States Code, Chapter 7 and appears in Sections 1301(a)(1) and (2). We shall now review this very important section: TITLE 42 UNITED STATES CODE THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE CHAPTER 7 -- SOCIAL SECURITY SUBCHAPTER XI -- GENERAL PROVISIONS (1982 edition) Section 1301(a) When used in this chapter -- (1) The term "STATE", except where otherwise provided, INCLUDES the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and when used in subchapters IV, V, VII, XI, and XIX of this chapter INCLUDES the Virgin Islands and Guam. Such term when used in subchapters III, IX, and XII of this chapter ALSO INCLUDES the Virgin Islands. Such term when used in subchapter V and in Part B of this subchapter of this chapter ALSO INCLUDES American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. Such term when used in subchapter XIX of this chapter ALSO INCLUDES the Northern Mariana Islands and American Samoa. In the case of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam, subchapters I, X, and XIV, and subchapter XVI of this chapter (as in effect without regard to the amendment made by section 301 of the Social Security Amendments of 1972) shall continue to apply, and the term "STATE" when used in such subchapters (but not in subchapter XVI of this chapter as in effect pursuant to such amendment after December 31, 1973) INCLUDES Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam. Such term when used in subchapter XX of this chapter ALSO INCLUDES the Virgin Islands, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands. Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 126 of 153 (2) The term "UNITED STATES" when used in a geographical sense MEANS, except when otherwise provided, the STATES. (8)(A) The "Federal percentage" for any State (other than Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam) shall be 100 per centum less the State percentage; and the State Percentage shall be that percentage which bears the same ratio to 50 per centum as the square of the per capita income of such State bears to the square of the per capital income of the United States; except that the Federal percentage shall in no case be less than 50 per centum or more than 65 per centum. (8)(B) The Federal percentage for each State (other than Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam) shall be promulgated by the Secretary between October 1 and November 30 of each even-numbered year, on the basis of the average per capital income for EACH State AND of the United States for the three most recent calendar years for which satisfactory data are available from the Department of Commerce. Such promulgation shall be conclusive for each of the eight quarters in the period beginning October 1 next succeeding such promulgation: Provided, That the Secretary shall promulgate such percentages as soon as possible after August 28, 1958, which promulgation shall be conclusive for each of the eleven quarters in the period beginning October 1, 1958, and ending with the close of June 30, 1961. (8)(C) The term "United States" MEANS (but ONLY for purposes of subparagraphs (A) and (B) of this paragraph) THE FIFTY STATES and the District of Columbia. [emphasis added] [see also Compilation of the Social Security Laws] [98th Congress, 2nd Session, Committee Print] [through April 1, 1984, pages 397 and 398] When the original Social Security Act was written, Alaska and Hawaii were Territories (Federal States), but today they are each one of the 50 States of the Union. When Section 1101(a) is laid alongside its surviving Title 42, Chapter 7, Section 1301(a), we see that its substance survived completely intact ... ... except Section 1301(a)(8)(C). Here is a Section that was not applicable, therefore, it was not used in the original Act, from which the "48 States" were "excluded". If you read carefully the portions marked 8(A) and 8(B), you will clearly understand why this specific definition had to be "included". The construction of the terms "State" and "United States" in subparagraph 8(A) is more prima facie evidence that the Social Security Act of the 74th Congress, Session 1, August 14, 1935, as recorded in Chapter 531 of the United States Statutes At Large, was and is intended to operate "within the Federal United States ONLY" (per definition). Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 127 of 153 If you have very carefully read the original Social Security Act, you will discover that the term "United States" is used thirty-four (34) times and never, ever gives the slightest suggestion that it embraced the Forty-Eight (48) Sovereign States of the United States of America which existed in the year 1935. Hopefully, you have carefully read all of the preceding, and have laid the original Sections 1101(a)(1) and 1101(a)(2) alongside 42 U.S.C. 1301(a)(1) and 1301(a)(2) as they presently read. It is obvious that our 50 Sovereign States have derogated their sovereignty by voluntarily requesting admission into the "Federal System of National Socialism". This system was written under the authority of Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17 and Article 4, Section 3, Clause 2, of the U.S. Constitution. These expressed authorities were given only out of necessity to provide the general government with some sort of ability to protect the Congress assembled. In the most extreme contemplation of the Constitution, our Founding Fathers never envisioned that these two Clauses (1:8:17 and 4:3:2) could have been utilized to impose their expressed Legislative Powers upon the second highest Sovereignty, that being the States of the Union (the highest being "We the People"). Considering the proceedings of the convention, the same observation is pertinent which we have previously made as to the 50 States. The Continental Congress never considered it to be possible for these two clauses to be utilized so as to derogate the Supreme Sovereignty of "We the People". If the average man were to read the Revenue Laws and accept them at face value, it would appear that the government has all the advantages and that the entire Title 26 could be interpreted at the whim and caprice of the Revenue Agents. But, this is not the case. The chains of the Constitution do not allow this, and Congress could not and did not enact most of these Revenue Laws for the Sovereigns within the 50 States. When Congress included a particular Revenue Act into Title 26, U.S.C., they were specific and definitive in stating upon whom that Revenue Act had effect, as you will see from the following: UNITED STATES CODE TITLE 26 -- INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SUBTITLE D -- MISCELLANEOUS EXCISE TAXES CHAPTER 38 -- Environmental Taxes Subchapter A -- Tax on Petroleum Section 4611. Imposition of Tax. (a) General Rule. -- There is hereby imposed a tax at the rate specified in subsection (c) on -- (1) crude oil received at a United States Refinery, and (2) petroleum products entered into the United States for consumption, use or warehousing. Section 4612. Definitions and Special Rules. (a) Definitions. -- For purposes of this subchapter -- (4) United States. -- (A) In General. -- The term "United States" means the 50 States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, any possession of the United States, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 128 of 153 The preceding is a true Import Tax, as allowed by the Constitution. It contains all the indicia of being uniform, and therefore it passes the Constitutionality test and can operate within the 50 Sovereign States (see 1:8:1). The language of this Revenue Act is simple, specific and definitive, and it would be impossible to attach the "void for vagueness" doctrine to it. When we consider Section 4612 and examine the evidence presented in this Chapter and Chapter 4, it is clear, when writing the Social Security Act, Congress intended this Revenue Act to operate only within the "Federal United States" (per definition)! The intent of Congress shall not be added to or subtracted from. If a Revenue Act is enacted into Law within the guidelines of the Constitution, then we must obey the Law. The following is another Revenue Act that contains definitions that could be misunderstood if you were not thorough enough in your research, especially when we contemplate the term "United States". Please study the provisions of this Revenue Act and you will see that the definitions are in contradistinction to the definitions generally used within Subtitles "A", "B", and "C" of the United States Code, Title 26: UNITED STATES CODE TITLE 26 -- INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SUBTITLE D -- MISCELLANEOUS EXCISE TAXES CHAPTER 38 -- Environmental Taxes Subchapter B -- Tax on Certain Chemicals Section 4661. Imposition of Tax. (a) General Rule. -- There is hereby imposed a tax on any taxable chemical sold by the manufacturer, producer, or importer thereof. Section 4662. Definitions and Special Rules. (a) Definitions. -- For purposes of this subchapter -- (2) United States. -- The term "United States" has the meaning given such term by section 4612(a)(4). Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 129 of 153 I believe our Supreme Court can close this portion more eloquently then I: Keeping in mind the well settled rule that the citizen is exempt from taxation unless the same is imposed by clear and unequivocal language, and that where the construction of a tax law is doubtful, the doubt is to be resolved in favor of those upon whom the tax is sought to be laid. [Spreckels Sugar Refining Co. v. McLain, 192 U.S. 397, 416] [emphasis added] In the interpretation of statutes levying taxes it is the established rule not to extend their provisions, by implication, beyond the clear import of the language used, or to enlarge their operations so as to embrace matters not specifically pointed out. In case of doubt they are construed most strongly against the Government, and in favor of the citizen. [U.S. v. Wigglesworth, 2 Story 369] [emphasis added] See also Benziger v. U.S., 192 U.S. 38, 55, and Gould v. Gould, 245 U.S. 151, 153 (1917). SOCIAL SECURITY We shall now address our attention to our indentured fellow Citizens, known in the business world as entrepreneurs. These "rugged individuals" still have a flicker of the candle that burned ever so brightly in the early days of our beloved Republic. Today, the country knows these "solid men" as being in "Free Enterprise". The Federal Government, the Internal Revenue Service and the Tax Code (Title 26 U.S.C.) define the aforementioned as "self-employed". Before we proceed to examine this tax, let us lay some ground work. We must hold in our mind that this tax is a Social Security Tax; its foundation is within the Social Security Act in Pari Materia, as follows: Pari Materia. Latin. Of the same matter; on the same subject; as, laws pari materia must be construed with reference to each other. Bac. Abr. "Statute," 1, 3. [Black's Law Dictionary, Third Edition (1933), page 1324] First, I would like to refresh your memory by recalling the definition of "State(s)" and "United States" as those terms are used in the Social Security Act. We shall use the master definition as exhibited in Section 1301 of Title 42, United States Code: Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 130 of 153 TITLE 42 UNITED STATES CODE THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE CHAPTER 7 -- SOCIAL SECURITY SUBCHAPTER XI -- GENERAL PROVISIONS (1982 edition) Section 1301(a) When used in this chapter -- (1) The term "STATE", except where otherwise provided, INCLUDES the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and when used in subchapters IV, V, VII, XI, and XIX of this chapter INCLUDES the Virgin Islands and Guam. Such term when used in subchapters III, IX, and XII of this chapter ALSO INCLUDES the Virgin Islands. Such term when used in subchapter V and in Part B of this subchapter of this chapter ALSO INCLUDES American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. Such term when used in subchapter XIX of this chapter ALSO INCLUDES the Northern Mariana Islands and American Samoa. In the case of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam, subchapters I, X, and XIV, and subchapter XVI of this chapter (as in effect without regard to the amendment made by section 301 of the Social Security Amendments of 1972) shall continue to apply, and the term "STATE" when used in such subchapters (but not in subchapter XVI of this chapter as in effect pursuant to such amendment after December 31, 1973) INCLUDES Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam. Such term when used in subchapter XX of this chapter ALSO INCLUDES the Virgin Islands, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands. (2) The term "UNITED STATES" when used in a geographical sense MEANS, except when otherwise provided, the STATES. (8)(A) The "Federal percentage" for any State (other than Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam) shall be 100 per centum less the State percentage; and the Stage Percentage shall be that percentage which bears the same ratio to 50 per centum as the square of the per capita income of such State bears to the square of the per capital income of the United States; except that the Federal percentage shall in no case be less than 50 per centum or more than 65 per centum. (8)(B) The Federal percentage for each State (other than Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam) shall be promulgated by the Secretary between October 1 and November 30 of each even-numbered year, on the basis of the average per capital income for EACH State AND of the United States for the three most recent calendar years for which satisfactory data are available from the Department of Commerce. Such promulgation shall be conclusive for each of the eight quarters in the period beginning October 1 next succeeding such promulgation: Provided, That the Secretary shall promulgate such percentages as soon as possible after August 28, 1958, which promulgation shall be conclusive for each of the eleven quarters in the period beginning October 1, 1958, and ending with the close of June 30, 1961. (8)(C) The term "United States" MEANS (but ONLY for purposes of subparagraphs (A) and (B) of this paragraph) THE FIFTY STATES and the District of Columbia. [emphasis added] [see also Compilation of the Social Security Laws] [98th Congress, 2nd Session, Committee Print] [through April 1, 1984, pages 397 and 398] Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 131 of 153 We will use a slightly different approach in this Section, but we will adhere to the same principles used previously. The following is a Federal Land Area Chart which will clearly identify what we are discussing when we refer to the "Federal United State(s)". The following will be taken from Section 1301 of Title 42. These land areas will be designated as "Federal State(s)", or "Federal Possession(s)": FEDERAL LAND AREA CHART (1) District of Columbia .......................... Federal State (2) Commonwealth of Puerto Rico ................... Federal State (3) Virgin Islands ................................ Federal State (4) Guam .......................................... Federal State (5) American Samoa ................................ Federal State (6) Northern Mariana Islands ................. Federal Possession (7) Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands ... Federal Possession Inclusive of the aforementioned Federal State(s) and Federal Possession(s), the exclusive legislative jurisdiction of Congress also extends over all places purchased by the consent of the Legislature of one of the 50 State(s), in which the same shall be, for the erection of forts, magazines, arsenals, dock-yards, and other needful buildings (see 1:8:17 in U.S. Constitution). There are many "land areas" within the 50 States that are managed by the Federal Government, but "exclusive" legislative jurisdiction is not always retained in each instance by the Federal Government. I would like to make a few more entries for the Director's future reference. The following are located in the United States Code, Title 26: Section 2014(g) Possession of United States Deemed a Foreign Country. -- For purposes of the credits authorized by this section, each possession of the United States shall be deemed to be a foreign country. and ... Section 638. Continental Shelf Areas. For purposes of applying the provisions of this chapter (including sections 861(a)(3) and 862(a)(3) in the case of the performance of personal services) with respect to mines, oil and gas wells, and other natural deposits -- Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 132 of 153 (1) the term "United States" when used in a geographical sense includes the seabed and subsoil of those submarine areas which are adjacent to the territorial waters of the United States and over which the United States has exclusive rights, in accordance with international law, with respect to the exploration and exploitation of natural resources; and (2) the terms "foreign country" and "possession of the United States" when used in a geographical sense include the seabed and subsoil of those submarine areas which are adjacent to the territorial waters of the foreign country or such possession and over which the foreign country (or the United States in case of such possession) has exclusive rights, in accordance with international law, with respect to the exploration and exploitation of natural resources, but this paragraph shall apply in the case of a foreign country only if it exercises, directly or indirectly, taxing jurisdiction with respect to such exploration or exploitation. No foreign country shall, by reason of the application of this section, be treated as a country contiguous to the United States. and ... Section 7871. Indian Tribal Governments Treated As States for Certain Purposes. (a) General Rule. -- An Indian tribal government shall be treated as a State -- ... (d) Treatment of Subdivisions of Indian Tribal Governments as Political Subdivisions. -- For the purposes specified in subsection (a), a subdivision of an Indian tribal government shall be treated as a political subdivision of a State if (and only if) the Secretary determines (after consultation with the Secretary of the Interior) that such subdivision has been delegated the right to exercise one or more of the substantial governmental functions of the Indian tribal government. Section 7806. Construction of Title. (a) Cross References. -- The cross references in this title to other portions of the title, or other provisions of law, where the word "see" is used, are made only for convenience, and shall be given no legal effect. (b) Arrangement and Classification. -- No inference, implication, or presumption of legislative construction shall be drawn or made by reason of the location or grouping of any particular section or provision or portion of this title, nor shall any table of contents, table of cross references, or similar outline, analysis, or descriptive matter relating to the contents of this title be given any legal effect. The preceding sentence also applies to the sidenotes and ancillary tables contained in the various prints of this Act before its enactment into law. Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 133 of 153 Let us now look at the Sections of Title 26, United States Code, which impose these Social Security TAXES upon the entrepreneurs of the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave: UNITED STATES CODE TITLE 26 -- INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SUBTITLE A -- INCOME TAXES CHAPTER 2 -- TAX ON SELF-EMPLOYMENT INCOME Section 1401. Rate of Tax. (a) Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance. -- In addition to other taxes, there shall be imposed for each taxable year, on the self-employment income of every individual, a tax equal to the following percent of the amount of the self-employment income for such taxable year: In the case of a taxable year Beginning after: And before: Percent December 31, 1983 January 1, 1988 11.40 December 31, 1987 January 1, 1990 12.12 December 31, 1989 12.40 (b) Hospital Insurance. -- In addition to the tax imposed by the preceding subsection, there shall be imposed for each taxable year, on the self-employment income of every individual, a tax equal to the following percent of the amount of the self-employment income for such taxable year: In the case of a taxable year Beginning after: And before: Percent December 31, 1983 January 1, 1985 2.60 December 31, 1984 January 1, 1986 2.70 December 31, 1985 2.90 Please read closely Section (a) of the preceding, then read the heading of this portion of the Code. It is easy to see that this is just another tax! Yet, we were told we were buying "insurance". This is not a premium upon some insurance policy; this is a tax on, and for, my purported dues for a Franchise called National Socialism. The "Other Taxes" imposed in this very same Subtitle are taxes upon any additional profits I might make because of the limited liability the purported sovereign offers me through this scheme. The Inheritance Taxes are in Subtitle B. I know this purported sovereign will not allow me to devolve my share to my Posterity before this sovereign receives a pledge from my posterity. Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 134 of 153 The following may appear complicated, but if you will please bear with me, we can successfully wade through this esoteric mess, and we will reach the obvious conclusion, as follows: We shall begin by determining how the Congress defined self-employment: Section 1402. (b) Self-Employment Income. -- The term "self-employment income" means the net earnings from self-employment derived by an individual (other than a nonresident alien individual, except as provided by an agreement under section 233 of the Social Security Act) during any taxable year .... An individual who is not a citizen of the United States but who is a resident of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, or American Samoa shall not, for purposes of this chapter be considered to be a nonresident alien individual. See also Title 42, United States Code, Chapter 7, Section 411(b). If an individual is a "Nonresident Alien", he would not be subject to this tax! The Government has made a big thing out of the status of this individual, someone who doesn't live in the "United States" and who is a foreigner. Of course, determining the status of this "nonresident alien" would be the obvious place to begin an investigation, in order to discover how lawfully to avoid paying this tax. Evidently, this "nonresident alien" is an individual who doesn't live "here" and who is not a "citizen", but who must have a lot of influence over Congress. First, we should see what the dictionaries have to say about this fellow who appears to have all these special privileges and advantages. In the past, these special privileges and advantages have been denied to the undersigned, a free white male now domiciled, sustaining his life by "Private Enterprise" as a Sovereign At Law in Marin County, California state.

BOUVIER'S LAW DICTIONARY AND CONCISE ENCYCLOPEDIA 1914 Non-resident. Not residing in the jurisdiction. Service of process on non-residents is void, excepting cases which proceed in rem, such as proceedings in admiralty or by foreign attachment, and the like, or where the property in litigation is within the jurisdiction of the court. One does not necessarily become a non-resident by absconding or absenting himself from his place of abode, Lindsey v. Dixon, 52 Mo. App. 291; nor does a mere casual or temporary absence on business or pleasure render one a non-resident, even if he may not have a house of usual abode in the state, Crawford v. Wilson, 4 Barb. (N.Y.) 504; if there is no intent to change his residence, Fitzgerald v. McMurran, 57 Minn. 313, 59 N.W. 199. But where a man has settled abode, for the time being, in another state for the purposes of business or pleasure, he is a non-resident, Hanson v. Graham, 82 Cal. 631, 23 Pac. 56, 7 L.R.A. 127; and it has been held that one who departs from the state with his family and remains absent for about a year is a non- resident, though he has not acquired a residence elsewhere, and though he intended to return in a few months; [page 2359] Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 136 of 153 and ... Alien. (Latin alienus, belonging to another; foreign). A foreigner; one of foreign birth. In England, one born out of the allegiance of the king. In the United States, one born out of the jurisdiction of the United States and who has not been naturalized under their constitution and laws. 2 Kent 50. [page 172] Considering the aforementioned definitions of "Nonresident Alien", we still have an individual who doesn't live here and is a foreigner. The terms are not consistent with reason and logic. Why would so much emphasis be put upon this individual: "One who is neither a resident nor a citizen within the jurisdiction in question"? You have probably figured out to whom the Congress is referring, if you have carefully studied and understood the jurisdictional issues discussed above. I do not live "within" the geographical areas as defined by Congress and as previously demonstrated in our Federal Land Area Chart. I am a Nonresident Alien Individual (per definition) and I do not owe this tax. The exact same principles that applied to "Within the United States" at 26 U.S.C. 3121(b) also apply to the Nonresident Alien described at 26 U.S.C. 1402(b). It appears that this Nonresident Alien individual, who seems to have so much influence and awesome authority over Congress, and who has been exempted by Congress from the taxes imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, Title 26, is none other than "We the People", the "Body Politic". Specifically, in the case of a nonresident alien individual, the quantity "gross income" includes only gross income which is effectively connected with a "United States" trade or business, and gross income which is derived from sources within the "United States" (see 26 U.S.C. 872(a)). The "Other Taxes" imposed by Section 1401(a) and 1401(b) have an emphasis on the term "self-employed", the "person(s)" upon whom Congress intended to lay this "Social Security Tax" in addition to "Other Taxes". There are two additional terms we must define in order to wade through the Internal Revenue Code. These definitions complete our search for understanding to whom Congress is referring when it imposes the Income Tax. Hopefully, our final definitions are: "SELF EMPLOYMENT" AND "TRADE OR BUSINESS" Section 1402. (b) Self-Employment Income. -- The term "self-employment income" means the net earnings from self-employment derived by an individual (other than a nonresident alien individual, except as provided by an agreement under section 233 of the Social Security Act) .... An individual who is not a citizen of the United States but who is a resident of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, or American Samoa shall not, for purposes of this chapter be considered to be a nonresident alien individual. [26 U.S.C. 1402(b)] See also 42 U.S.C., Chapter 7, Section 411(b). Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 137 of 153 As you can see, the residents of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam and American Samoa are not considered to be Nonresident Alien individuals. By now, this should be self-explanatory. Throughout our entire decodification of the Internal Revenue Code, Title 26, we have established that the Social Security Act was written ONLY for the Federal States and Possessions. UNITED STATES CODE TITLE 26 -- INTERNAL REVENUE SUBTITLE F -- PROCEDURE AND ADMINISTRATION CHAPTER 79 -- DEFINITIONS Section 7701. Definitions. (a) When used in this title, where not otherwise distinctly expressed or manifestly incompatible with the intent thereof -- (26) Trade or Business. -- The term "trade or business" includes the performance of the functions of a public office. and ... Section 217. Moving Expenses. (f) Rules for Self-Employed Individuals. -- (1) Definition. -- For purposes of this section, the term "self-employed individual" means an individual who performs personal services -- (A) as the owner of the entire interest in an unincorporated trade or business, or (B) as a partner in a partnership carrying on a trade or business. [26 U.S.C. 217(f)] and ... Section 864. Definitions. (b) Trade or Business within the United States. -- For purposes of this part, part II, and chapter 3, the term "trade or business within the United States" includes the performance of personal services within the United States at any time within the taxable year, but does not include -- (1) Performance of Personal Services for Foreign Employer. -- The performance of personal services (A) for a nonresident alien individual, foreign partnership, or foreign corporation, not engaged in trade or business within the United States .... [26 U.S.C. 864(b)] Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 138 of 153 So, there we have it. We tie the whole thing together, and we reach the final obvious conclusion: The "Taxes" that are imposed are imposed upon "Public Officials" that work for the United States government (per definition). If you have absorbed anything about our Constitution, you know that by the use of Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17 and Article 4, Section 3, Clause 2, the Congress has all the Powers exclusively, and the Social Security Act was written within, and for, this jurisdiction. "We the People" were requested to submit an application and to obtain permission to join this scheme of National Socialism. The "Corporation" founded by "We the People", commonly known as the United States Federal Government, has guaranteed in their Manifesto, known as Title 42, United States Code, the statutory right for subjects to receive according to their needs; and with its extension, known as Title 26, United States Code, subjects are required to pay according to their abilities. I will again use documents published by the Federal Government for this demonstration: 9.21-1 Meaning of net income (a) The tax imposed by Title 1 is upon income. Neither income exempted by statute or fundamental law, nor expenses incurred in connection therewith, other than interest, enter into the computation of net income as defined by section 21. [Code of Federal Regulations, Title 26 (1939), page 1623] [emphasis added] If I have and use a Social Security Account Number, can the "Fundamental Law" portion of Section 9.21-1 apply to me? Answer: No. Am I compelled to give up my natural rights? Answer: No. 9.22(b)-1 Exemptions; exclusions from gross income. Certain items of income specified in section 22(b) are exempt from tax and may be excluded from gross income. These items, however, are exempt only to the extent and in the amount specified. No other items are exempt from gross income except (1) those items of income which are, under the Constitution not taxable by the Federal Government .... [Code of Federal Regulations, Title 26 (1939), page 1632] Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 139 of 153 By a voluntary request for, and voluntary use of, the Federal Franchise called Social Security, a Sovereign individual rescinds his rights under the Constitution and allows himself to be a "subject" of the Congress. This I will not do. 9.54-1 Records and income tax forms. (a) Every person subject to the tax, except persons whose gross income (1) consists solely of salary, wages, or similar compensation for personal services rendered, or (2) arises solely from the business of growing and selling products of the soil, shall ... keep such permanent books of account or records .... [Code of Federal Regulations, Title 26 (1939), page 1738] The Social Security Franchise would make me a "taxpayer"; therefore sections 9.21-1, 9.22(b)-1, and 9.54-1 would not apply to me. My "Wages with respect to Employment" would be the formula by which the revenue laws measure the taxes. The "Self- Employed" compensation for personal services rendered by a person who receives it "From Sources within the United States" is the formula by which the Revenue Laws measure the taxes. Therefore, I would be under a duty to keep such books and records, and I would be required to file a "Tax Return" by regulations promulgated by the Secretary. The provisions of Article 1, Section 2, Clause 3 and Article 1, Section 9, Clause 4 and, for that matter, any of the Articles of the Bill of Rights, which specifically protect the same individual, are of no value to any individual who applies for, and uses, a number that encompasses the Social Security scheme! If I wish to conduct "Private Enterprise", I must do it on my own, without assistance from government. I have never asked for assistance, nor will I. Henry Campbell Black defines these rights as natural rights of Common Law Entrepreneurs: Proprietary, n. A proprietor or owner; one who has the exclusive title to a thing; one who possesses or holds the title to a thing in his own right. The grantees of Pennsylvania and Maryland and their heirs were called the proprietaries of those provinces. Webster. Proprietary rights. Those rights which an owner of property has by virtue of his ownership. When proprietary rights are opposed by acquired rights, such as easements, franchises, etc., they are more often called "Natural Rights". Sweet. [Black's Law Dictionary, Third Edition (1933), page 1449] Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 140 of 153 Therefore, as you can plainly see, you had no authority to compel me to join Social Security. You had no authority to tell Citizens in the States of the Union that Social Security account numbers were mandatory. The only issue left to be resolved is fraud, treason and sedition. The Social Security scheme was a trap to create slaves of the remaining free people within the Sovereign States of the Union. I will not be one of them. You see, I took the time to read the "Analysis of the Social Security System, Hearings before a Subcommittee of the Committee on Ways and Means, House of Representatives, Eighty-Third Congress, First Session on The Legal Status of OASI Benefits, November 27, 1953." Do not tell me that this document does not contain irrefutable proof and evidence of fraud. For example, see pages 935 and 936. Therefore, you will now notify all pertinent and appropriate Federal and State entities of this withdrawal, thereby restoring partially what has been taken from me, due to your constructive fraud.

Trumane c/o General Delivery Marin County San Rafael, California state 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, Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 142 of 153 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 Code), and/or Title 27 U.S.C., and with respect to the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder as follows: The Internal Revenue Code, Title 26, and/or Title 27, United States Code, 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, Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 143 of 153 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, 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, Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 144 of 153 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 20. Therefore, I, John E. Trumane, am a natural born free inhabitant and, as such, a Sovereign Citizen/Principal inhabiting California state. 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, Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 145 of 153 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 Code, 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' ...."

Trumane, being natural born in Massachusetts a white male human being, now living in Marin County, California state, as a Citizen in California state, do 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, the undersigned, a free white male Citizen in California state, and thereby in the united States of America, hereby affirm, declare and give notice: 1. That I am competent to testify to the matters herein; and further, 2. That I have personal knowledge of my status and of the facts and evidence stated herein; and further, 3. That all the facts stated herein are not hearsay but true and correct, and admissible as evidence, if not rebutted; and further, Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 148 of 153 4. That I, John E. Trumane, am of lawful age and competent; I am a natural born free white Citizen now living in California state, and thereby in the united States of America, in fact, by right of heritage, a Citizen inhabiting California state, protected by the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, the Organic Act of 1849, the original Constitution of California (1849), the Articles of Confederation (1777), the Constitution for the united States of America (1787) including its Preamble, and the Bill of Rights (1791) including its Preamble; and as such I retain all my fundamental, unalienable rights granted by God in positive law, embodied in the Declaration of Independence of 1776 and binding rights upon myself and my parentage, this day and for all time; and further, 5. That this document has been prepared, witnessed and filed because the State of Massachusetts holds the position that there are no statutory provisions to rescind a Birth Certificate, nor any trust or contractual obligations derived therefrom, and because there is no other remedy available to me at law by which I can declare and enforce my right to be free from State enfranchisement and the benefits therefrom; and further, 6. That, on my birthday, June 21, 1948, I was born in Worcester, Massachusetts to my parents, Peter F. Modzelewski and Ann M. (Young) Modzelewski, who were both under the misconception that they were required to secure a Certificate of Birth on my behalf, and they did obtain the same; and further, 7. That my parents were not aware that, at the Common Law, births were to be recorded in the family Bible, and that only deaths were made a matter of public record; and further, 8. That my parents were not aware that any certificate required by statute to be made by officers may, as a rule, be introduced into evidence (see Marlowe v. School District, 116 Pac 797) and, therefore, they were acquiescing to State requirements which violate my rights to privacy and the 4th Amendment protections under the Constitution for the united States of America, because the Birth Certificate is the record of the State of Massachusetts, not of the individual, and the State may be compelled to introduce said record without my permission; and further, 9. That such statutory practices by the State of Massachusetts are deceitful misrepresentations by the State and society, on the recording of births, and my parents were unaware that a Birth Certificate was not necessary, nor were they aware that they were possibly waiving some of my rights, which rights are unalienable rights guaranteed to me by the Constitution for the united States of America; and further, 10. That the doctor who delivered me acted as a licensed agent of the State of Massachusetts without the consent of either my own parents or myself, and offered me into a State trust to be regulated as other State and corporate interests and property as a result of that offer and acceptance, which comprises a fiction of law under statutory law (called contracts of adhesion, contracts implied by law, constructive contracts, quasi contracts, also referred to as implied consent legislation); and further, Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 149 of 153 11. That, from my own spiritual beliefs and training, I have come, and I have determined that the right to be born comes, from God Almighty (who knew me before I existed) -- not the State of Massachusetts and not the State of California -- and therefore original jurisdiction upon my behavior requiring any specific performance comes from my personal relationship with God Almighty, unless said performance causes demonstrable damage or injury to another natural human being; and further, 12. That, after studying the Birth Certificate, I have come to the conclusions that the Birth Certificate creates a legal estate in myself, and acts as the nexus to bring actions against this individual as if he were a corporate entity, that the State of Massachusetts, in cooperation with the federal government and its agents and assigns, is maintaining the Birth Certificate so as to assume jurisdiction over many aspects of my life in direct contravention of my unalienable rights and Constitutionally secured rights to be a "Freeman" and to operate at the Common Law; and further, 13. That such statutory provisions also cause a loss or diminution (depending upon other statutory provisions) of rights guaranteed by the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 9th amendments in the Constitution for the united States of America; and further, 14. That, as a result of my earnest and diligent studies, my prior ignorance has come to an end, and I have regained my capacity to be an American Freeman; therefore, it is now necessary that I declare any nexus assumed as a result of the Birth Certificate, by the State of Massachusetts or by any of its agents and assigns, including the federal government, and any jurisdictional or other rights that may be waived as a result of said trust/contract with all forms of government, to be null and void from its inception, due to the deceptive duress, fraud, injury, and incapacity perpetrated upon my parents and myself by the State of Massachusetts, the third party to the contract; and further, 15. That I was neither born nor naturalized in the "United States" as defined in Title 26, United States Codes and, therefore, I am not subject to its foreign jurisdiction. See 26 CFR 1.1-1(b)-(c); and further, 16. That, with this revocation of contract and the revocation of power, I do hereby claim all of my rights, all of my unalienable rights and all rights guaranteed by the Constitution for the united States of America, at law, and do hereby declare, to one and all, that I am a free and independent Citizen now inhabiting California state, who is not a creation of, nor subject to any State's civil law of admiralty, maritime, or equity jurisdictions and, as such, I am only attached to the judicial Power of California and/or the united States of America; and further, Letters to Social Security Administration: Page 150 of 153 17. That I affirm, under penalty of perjury, under the Common Law of America, without the "United States" (see 1:8:17 and 4:3:2 in the U.S. Constitution), that the Preamble and Sections 1 thru 16 of this Affidavit, are true and correct and so done in good faith to the best of my knowledge; and further, 18. 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 that I have exercised the "Remedy" provided for me in the Uniform Commercial Code in Book 1 at Section 207, 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; that my explicit reservation of rights has served notice upon ALL administrative agencies of government, whether international, national, state, or local, that I do not, and will not accept the liability associated with the "compelled" benefit of any unrevealed commercial agreements; and 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 This Affiant Saith Not.
