Mitch Modeleski, Founder Account for Better Citizenship San Rafael, California Republic January 1, 1993 v The Federal Zone: Notations The Supreme Court has officially defined the key term "United States" to have three separate and distinct meanings: (1) It may be the name of a sovereign occupying the position of other sovereigns in the family of nations. (2) It may designate the limited territory over which the sovereignty of the federal government extends. (3) It may be the collective name for the fifty States which are united by and under the Constitution. Understanding these several meanings is absolutely crucial to understanding the remainder of this book. Much confusion will result from failing to recognize (or decipher) the meaning that is used in any given context. In order to reinforce their importance, these three meanings will be identified by using the following convention whenever possible: (1) United States* or U.S.* (first meaning) The name of the sovereign nation, occupying the position of other sovereigns in the family of nations. (2) United States** or U.S.** (second meaning) The federal government and the limited territory over which it exercises exclusive sovereign authority. (3) United States*** or U.S.*** (third meaning) The collective name for the States united by and under the Constitution for the United States of America. At the risk of being criticized for violating formal English style, quotations have also been modified with this notation. The risk of misunderstanding was judged to be far more serious than any violations of conventional style. It is the Author's sincere intent that the addition of asterisks will be obvious in all cases, even if the meaning of "United States" is not obvious in any particular case. Exceptions to this convention will be made for book titles, for United States Codes (abbreviated USC or U.S.C.), for the United States (or U.S.) Constitution, and for the United States (or U.S.) Supreme Court. vi The Federal Zone: Other notations should be obvious from their context, but will be repeated here for extra clarity: IR means Internal Revenue (e.g. IR Manual refers to the IRS Internal Revenue Manual) IRC means Internal Revenue Code (also known as Title 26) IRS means Internal Revenue Service in the Department of the Treasury USC means United States Code (e.g. 26 USC 7701 refers to Title 26, United States Codes, Section 7701) CFR means Code of Federal Regulations (e.g. 26 CFR 1.871-1 are the regulations for Section 871 of Title 26) T.D. means Treasury Decision, a written decision published in the Federal Register by the Treasury Department. U.S. means United States decision when used to cite a ruling of the Supreme Court (e.g. 324 U.S. 652 refers to volume 324, page 652 of Supreme Court decisions) If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, it expects something it cannot be. Thomas Jefferson Help us to abolish the specter of modern slavery which now threatens to destroy the essential rights and freedoms which made this a great nation and the envy of others around the world. Help us to restore a government which has drifted so far off course it hardly resembles the constitutional republic it was designed to be. from Cover Page Notice to 50 Governors Account for Better Citizenship vii The Federal Zone: Table of Contents Contents: Page Disclaimer ................................................... ii Special Notice .............................................. iii Dedication .................................................... v Notations .................................................... vi Table of Contents .......................................... viii Introduction .......................................... intro - 1 Chapter 1: The Brushaber Decision ........................ 1 - 1 Chapter 2: Status and Jurisdiction ....................... 2 - 1 Chapter 3: The Matrix .................................... 3 - 1 Chapter 4: The Three United States ....................... 4 - 1 Chapter 5: What State Are You In? ........................ 5 - 1 Chapter 6: Empirical Results ............................. 6 - 1 Chapter 7: Inside Sources ................................ 7 - 1 Chapter 8: Is it Voluntary? .............................. 8 - 1 Chapter 9: The Law of Presumption ........................ 9 - 1 Chapter 10: The Fundamental Law .......................... 10 - 1 Chapter 11: Sovereignty .................................. 11 - 1 Chapter 12: Includes What? ............................... 12 - 1 Chapter 13: Amendment Post Mortem ........................ 13 - 1 Chapter 14: Conclusions .................................. 14 - 1 Appendices .....................................
