Disclaimer
This manual is intended purely as a communication of information in accordance with
the right of free speech. It does not constitute either general or specific legal advice.
Anyone seeking legal advice should consult a competent professional. Neither the
author, editor or publisher guarantee that using this information will result in success or
protect the reader from harm. The reader must accept that risk, and thoroughly study the
law before using any of this material. Readers must take full responsibility for the
consequences of any actions taken based on the contents of this manual. For most
readers, you may well be best off reading this as a sort of "adventure novel." You can
learn of some of the actual documents and procedures being used by many freedom
fighters. If you were to actually use these documents and procedures you would
probably be at substantial risk to change your life in very major ways, some of which
may be very unpleasant. The use of Commercial Liens as described in this manual is
EXTREMELY high-profile. For most readers, it may be advisable to use some of the
"lower-profile" applications of Freedom Technology. Generally, we think that rather
than fight existing systems it’s much more productive, useful, and exciting to create
alternative new systems.
This disclaimer is especially important, because this is a relatively new strategy, and has
not yet been subjected to a Supreme Court challenge. Until that takes place, the
soundness of this strategy cannot be fully known. The Commercial Lien Strategy is still
evolving, and new information is being discovered daily. If you use this strategy, who
knows? Your name may be on a famous Supreme Court case! Whether that prospect
thrills you or disturbs you depends upon your outlook.
These liens, because they are so powerful, should be treated with respect. We, at Terra
Libra, do not advocate the use of these liens against all government officials, nor to any
official in particular. We honor the fact that there are many virtuous people in
government offices, who are truly striving to harm no one and to benefit as many people
in society as possible. The liens described in this manual are not directed towards
these harmless officials.
Scope and Purpose of Manual
This manual is an introduction and primer to the Commercial Lien Strategy. It does not
pretend to be the final word on the subject. The authors and editors have synthesized
material from several sources. We have organized it into a form that should be
comprehensible to the average reader.
After reading this manual, you will know the fundamental principles of this strategy.
This understanding, plus the Bibliography in Appendix A, will allow you to do further
research on your own.
Some Notes on the Sample Briefs
Included with this manual is an Appendix containing sample legal briefs, based upon
actual examples used by others.
You will have to reformat these briefs using your word processing software, and you
MUST adapt them to your situation, and to the requirements of your state or locality.
These are not and (in the nature of things) cannot be "fill-in-the-blank" forms.
The Commercial Lien Strategy - Background
Faced with corrupt lawyers and judges, no litigant can expect to win in court by simply
playing defense. To beat them, you must be able to scare them. [see: Adriana Estevez
documents-she has scared over 1600 judges -she was arrested last week 7-6-22- she
verbally challenged them and after 5 hours let her go-pretty amazing as she is
amazing] and You must be able to make them respect you, and that means you must be
able to take the offense — attack them personally [Adriana researches each of them
and finds their Achilles heel and aims directly for it.]
Unfortunately, judges, lawyers, and other government officials enjoy various levels of
personal immunity provided by both law and "professional courtesy." How do you sue a
lawyer for malpractice? You hire another lawyer — if you can find one who’ll take the
case. How do you sue an IRS agent for violating your Constitutional rights? Only with
great difficulty. How you sue a judge for railroading you in court? You don’t.
As a practical matter, private citizens can’t sue the President of the United States, a
Governor, judge, or even an IRS agent for failing to obey or enforce the laws. If we try
to sue in court to compel our government officials to obey the law and perform their
lawful duties, the judges routinely ignore our petitions and laugh us out of court.
Because legal and de facto immunities shield government personnel from being sued for
committing crimes against the People, the public is legally disarmed, unable to
aggressively sue the government or its agents and compel them to obey the Law. As a
result, the public’s legal posture is fundamentally defensive: we try to duck, dodge, and
hide in legal loopholes to defend ourselves against the government and the courts. We
try to escape, evade, and avoid, but we seldom counter-attack against our antagonists,
largely because we think there are no lawful weapons to do so. However, it appears that
a powerful offensive legal weapon may now have been discovered, tested, and proven
for common Citizens — the commercial lien. We don’t try to sue a government official
for failing to perform his lawful duties. Instead, we simply file a lien that encumbers the
official’s personal property and credit rating like a ton of bricks until he voluntarily
satisfies our demand to perform his lawful duty, and we, in turn, voluntarily agree to
excise the lien.
Some Examples of the Strategy
Example 1 — Edward J. Wagner, an hourly, unionized employee at General Electric,
received Notices of Levy from the IRS, garnishing his wages and moneys received from
several other sources. Wagner tried to persuade G.E. not to honor the Notices, since they
were not properly attested as "true bills of commerce." His efforts met with no success.
After giving G.E. proper Notice and Demand, Wagner and his wife filed a
Commercial Lien in the amount of $224,640,00.00. In the lien, Wagner impounded
G.E. inventory that he had worked on (including air conditioning units, analyzing
equipment, etc.) as security for the lien. This is similar to an auto mechanic impounding
a car he had repaired ("mechanic’s lien"). This meant that G.E. could not lawfully sell or
transfer the equipment until the lien was either extinguished or satisfied.
Among the reasons for the high dollar amount are that the law allows for such high sums
as rewards for damages incurred, and it generally has to be large enough in relation to
the size of the company involved, to get its attention. Otherwise such a large company
might just ignore it.
Consequently, a legal war followed, and by June of ’92, G.E. had gone to court several
times trying to remove Wagner’s lien, all without any real success. This was in spite of
the fact that G.E. had the best, most highly paid, and highly motivated lawyers.
In June of ’92, the first major victory for the Wagners came. The IRS issued four
different official Releases of Levy, one to General Electric, plus three other places where
they had wages and income that the IRS had levied — the Port of Seattle, Dean Witter
Reynolds, and Ohio State Life Insurance Company. These effectively released the IRS’s
attachment on the Wagners’ income and assets. That’s a pretty solid testimonial to the
power of the arguments in Mr. Wagner’s lien.
Example 2 — In August 1992, Mr. Nelson Starr, who lives in Florida, filed a lien on
several federal judges, the Commissioner of the IRS, the Attorney General of the United
States, one or more U.S. attorneys for the Southern District of Florida, and several other
individuals, in the amount of $350,000 on each individual. The officials asked Mr. Alan
Diamond, President of the Florida Bar Association, to inspect the lien and see if it was
lawful or not.
In spite of his desire to please his powerful friends, Diamond could find nothing illegal
about the lien. In fact, in a sworn affidavit, Diamond declared that, "...the document
causes irreparable harm to the system of the administration of justice. While some of the
harm may be compensable at law, no degree of compensation will adequately remedy
the damage to the appearance of integrity of those named and of the system of the
administration of justice. In my opinion, the filing of this type of lien is a direct attack on
the justice system and on the general reputations of those named in the "lien." It may
negatively impact on the financial credit rating of those individuals. It will probably
have a negative impact on their willingness to continue to serve as representatives of the
United States. And, it constitutes an abuse of civil process that cannot be adequately
remedied by an action at law. [emphasis added]" In plain English, Diamond did not like
the lien, but couldn’t find any way to extinguish it. Further, he seemed to say that these
liens could drive public officials right out of office! For libertarians and patriots, that is
a powerful endorsement!
Example 3 - Another a man in Florida filed Commercial Liens against nine IRS agents
and was later taken to court by the IRS agents’ wives. The wives tried unsuccessfully to
remove the liens, because their credit cards had stopped working. The liens had
compromised their credit rating, and they couldn’t go shopping except with cash.
Imagine the distress that the IRS agents themselves had to endure from their wives on
account of these liens! Evidently, the liens hit the agents where they lived, in a way that
other actions at law could not do.
Example 4 - Perhaps the most imaginative use of the Commercial Lien Strategy is a lien
by Mr. Phil Marsh of the Pilot Connection against the President of the United States, the
U.S. Congress, the Federal Reserve, and the Commissioner of IRS on behalf of all 250
million Americans (see Appendix B.6). For each of the 250 million Americans, the lien
demands $10,000. If the lien were enforced, it would mean the government would owe
the people $2.5 trillion, over half the annual Gross National Product.
This "class action lien" will almost certainly never be enforced. However, if the courts
find a way to extinguish it, it may have the effect of weakening the power of all liens
(including the one the IRS files on us!-it is actually only a notice of lien).
[Editor’s Note: Everything in this manual is "information" only, not legal advice. This
caveat applies with particular force to Mr. Marsh’s lien. We present this lien as an
interesting and imaginative application of the Commercial Lien Strategy, not as an
"endorsement."
Terra Libra originally included Phil Marsh and The Pilot Connection on our list of
sources. However, some of our customers began to complain about poor service, and
some raised questions about the integrity of the group. Later, Marsh appeared on the
television show 20/20 and vigorously denounced the IRS. Also, it appears that The Pilot
Connection may have been stockpiling arms and ammunition. These actions invited
official retaliation, which was not long in coming.
In 1994, Phil Marsh and other members of The Pilot Connection were prosecuted by
Federal territorial gangsters on a smorgasbord of criminal charges. In November of that
year, the trial ended in a hung jury on most counts, and a few outright acquittals, with no
convictions. The defense team included "public defenders" and two experienced pro se
litigants from the National Commodity and Barter Association. The pro se’s from
N.C.B.A. later reported that Marsh was highly resistant to their legal advice throughout
the trial.
These facts suggest that Marsh is relatively blind to strategy, and that his reasoning is at
a "proto-conscious" level, with a strong commitment to being "right" regardless of new
information. Given Mr. Marsh’s track record, we strongly advise readers of his lien to
thoroughly scrutinize and research his legal theories before using any of them.]
THE POWER OF COMMERCIAL LIENS
Ease of Use
Although this lien strategy is explosive, it’s more like nitro-glycerin than hydrogen
bombs. You need to be knowledgeable and careful to use nitro-glycerin, but you don’t
need to be a nuclear physicist. However, nitro-glycerin can blow up in your face if you
handle it carelessly!
Likewise, "bombing" government officials with liens is a craft, not a science, that can be
used as easily by knowledgeable pro se’s as it can by lawyers and legal scholars. The
commercial lien is simple, inexpensive, and takes very little time. It requires no
court action or judge’s approval. And, it has proven to be very direct and effective, if
it is handled correctly. However, a few careless pro se’s have had their liens "blow up"
in their faces (see Chapter 5), so be meticulous when you use them.
Long Range
You can file a commercial lien on property in another state or on property you’ve never
seen. With a commercial lien, you can attack the personal property of your adversary at
long range rather than merely fighting to defend your own property in your own back
yard. This offensive capability makes the commercial lien a powerful legal weapon.
With the commercial lien, you can literally take the fight to their back yards.
The Helplessness of Judges
The commercial lien, which is authorized both by the common law and by Title 15 of
the United States Code (USC), is reportedly the same lien the IRS uses to take
Americans’ homes and cars. However, some pro se litigants do not depend upon Title
15, but upon the common law of negotiable instruments (a.k.a. Commercial Law).
As such, it’s almost impossible to remove a commercial lien without the approval of
the individual claimant who filed the lien. Although a commercial lien can be
challenged by a common law court or by a 7th Amendment jury trial, it does not
require a court process or a court judgment for its establishment, validity, or
execution. Therefore, it appears that the courts may not be able to simply extinguish this
lien on their own discretion (or on motion from the lien debtors) without the voluntary
approval of the person who filed the lien.
Traditionally, these liens can only be removed by the voluntary decision of the person
who filed the lien, by the decision of a constitutional common-law jury trial, or by
waiting 99 or 100 years. Since the common law has been smothered in the U.S.A., all
judges are essentially powerless to overcome the liens.
The Right Way L.A.W.
Before utilizing any of the procedures suggested in this manual, we strongly suggest that
you join an organization called "The Right Way … L.A.W."
[http://www.supremelaw.org/copyrite/ultimate.org/242.htm ] They are experts on legal and
court procedures, as well as liens in general. They also have great expertise regarding
Title 42 (civil rights violation suits. For more details see Report #LAW01 — The Right
Way … L.A.W.

Chapter 2 - Theory of Commercial Lien Strategy

Introduction
To effectively use the Commercial Lien Strategy, you should have a good grasp of the
principles of law involved. Immediately following this Introduction is an essay, written
from a Christian/Theistic perspective, explaining the foundations of the common law.
(The author has not copyrighted this material, and wishes to remain anonymous. The
same author also composed several of the briefs listed in Appendix B).
This explanation will, no doubt, be very different from anything you have been taught.
In fact, licensed attorneys may have the hardest time understanding this, because
they have been taught to think only in a certain way. An intelligent lay reader will
probably understand the following article without much trouble.
Most of us have been hypnotized into believing that the meaningless scribbles of
"legislators," "Presidents," etc., constitute "the law." After reading this chapter, one thing
should be absolutely clear to you. The law is whatever you give your consent to. [I do
not consent, I do not consent, I do not consent] This insight frees you from being a
"victim" and a "subject," and restores you to your rightful position of power and
sovereignty. (Always remember, though, that Territorial Gangsters [TG’s] have all sorts
of ways to obtain your "consent"! Standing up for your rights always involves risk.)
THE COMMERCIAL AFFIDAVIT PROCESS
by an anonymous Christian patriot
A Powerful Weapon
The Commercial Affidavit Process — or "CAP" — is perhaps one of the most
powerful devices available to the common man for righting wrongs and accomplishing
justice. The process is not new, as some may believe. At its foundation are the laws of
commerce which spring from the eternal, immutable Laws of God, and those laws have
been in force since the beginning of human existence. Provoke the use of the
Commercial Affidavit Process against you and you provoke the wrath of all that is just
and right.
Today, those who are availing themselves of the CAP system are equipping themselves
with a very powerful equalizer. Make no mistake! The CAP is a very lethal weapon in
the war against injustice. It is capable of righting wrongs while eliminating the "cost
factor" that deprives thousands of people from getting justice. The expression "equal
under the law" again has real meaning, thanks to CAP. When the CAP methodology is
properly loaded and sighted on a wrongdoer, success is "as good as in the bag." The
Process is powerful and dangerous to those who are in the line of fire. There is no
escape: either acquiesce and justly recompense or suffer the awful consequences. And,
those consequences can be calamitous as will be shown.
The Foundation Of Law
There are basically three classes of laws: The Laws of God, which encompass the Laws
of Nature; The Law of the Land, also referred to as the Common Law; and lastly
there is Private Law, or man-made law, also referred to as Contract Law.
Our Founding Fathers believed that it was self-evident that the God of Nature is
the sovereign of the universe and everything in it (as well as mankind) and that He
had endowed all mankind with "certain unalienable rights" making them
self-directing sovereigns, which means that any governments instituted among men
derive their just powers (only) from the consent of the governed, who are the source
of earthly power and authority. Hence any attempt to exercise any powers NOT
conveyed by the People is unjust and unauthorized, and any act done pursuant to such
usurpation of power is void. Void ab initio
They were further convinced that God’s temporal law for mankind was expressed in
the law of the land. Common law is common-sense law. It is simple, straightforward
and self evident, primarily because it is based on God’s Laws. It is the foundational
law of the union of States.
The Founding Fathers authorized three legal systems in the Constitution,
first Common Law,
secondly Equity Law, and
thirdly Admiralty Law, which is the law of the sea.
Gradually Common Law has been displaced by Equity Law until today the
Common Law is rarely heard of or understood because it has been covered up and
hidden away by the legal profession for very understandable business reasons. Such
people are pursuing their own private agenda. In fact the Common Law is generally
looked upon as obscene, example: to have a common law marriage is considered to be
unclean. Why? The first marriage license in the United States was issued in 1863. The
question is not whether some third party should or should not perform the service; it is
whether sovereigns must get permission from their servants (the government)
before they can be married.
Private Law
Private Law is that law which comes into being when people enter into agreements
creating the rules and terms by which they agree to be bound together.
State and federal constitutions are examples of private law. They come under the
heading of contract law because they are contracts that establish governments and are
designed to protect the People from the government. To keep the government under
control, the People were very precise in the language they used to make it perfectly clear
exactly what powers were being delegated AND that any powers not specifically
delegated were reserved (by the People) to the states or the People.
It should be remembered that the People are the sovereigns of State governments
and the States are the sovereigns of the federal government. Thus the People, either
directly or indirectly, are the sovereigns over both governments. The States have been
given specific and limited power. They also made sure there were provisions that
safeguarded the People’s right to abolish or change that government and to create a
different one if they chose.
Public Law is a form of private law that results when laws are made in proper
application of the delegated authority conveyed to the legislators. Title 18 (the Federal
Criminal Code) is an example of public law. It was drafted to grant unto non-citizens
the protections and defenses Citizens have under common law; Title 18 does not apply
to sovereigns, who answer directly to violations of GOD’s Laws.
Administrative Law is one term used to describe private law that comes into
existence when someone acquires dominion over others and can dictate to them
what the law is. T it and the other federal titles classified by congress as "non-itle 26
(the Internal Revenue Code) in an example of Administrative Law; public"
(administrative) laws, thus apply only to subjects of the federal government.
In 1938 the United States abandoned Public Law and adopted an unconstitutional
system called Public Policy. An understanding of this distinction is so vital that the
definitions of these terms follow:
Public Law
That portion of law which deals with the powers, rights, duties, capacities and
incapacities of government and its delegated authority. Those laws which are concerned
with a government in its political capacity, considered in its quasi-private personality,
i.e., as capable of holding or exercising rights or acquiring and dealing with property in
the character of an individual.
Public Policy
The rules and procedures (policy) of a sovereign over its subjects. It holds that no
subject can lawfully do that which has a tendency to be injurious to the public or against
the public good as defined by the sovereign. Public policy is set by legislative acts and,
pursuant thereto, by judicial and administrative promulgating of rules and regulations.
Such rules and regulations are therefore not laws but rather terms imposed by
contract agreements. It’s the contracts themselves which make these rules and
regulations binding. If you are not a party to those contracts, not a subject
(property) of the government, you can make yourself a party by volunteering to
comply. But once you decide to play the game you are compelled by the rules of that
game to continue to play. Once compelled, the best out is to reassert your sovereign
rights. The very concept of Public Policy and its inherent usurpation of power from the
sovereign People is so addictive and has become so widely accepted by bureaucrats in
all levels of government that they act as if they were the masters of the People.
This shift in government was instituted with the Supreme Court’s decision in the Erie
Railroad case, as a result of which, all Supreme Court decisions prior to that time are
being treated as no longer relevant in equity court proceedings. And so another
milestone was reached in the conspiracy to overthrow the rights of the People.
This Administrative Law is much like Roman Law which is also called Civil Law.
Conceptually, Roman or Civil Law, which is practiced in most of Europe, is
diametrically opposite to the Common Law.
Under Roman or Civil Law you are guilty until proven innocent and have only those
rights your master the government chooses to grant you; and what your master giveth, he
can take away. Under the Common Law as practiced in America, you are innocent
until proven guilty and retain all rights not delegated to government.
We are seeing more and more of this Roman class of laws in this country: if you are
charged you are treated as being guilty until proven innocent. If that is happening to you,
it’s because of your legal status — or what "they" perceive as your legal status. If your
legal status is that of being a sovereign your unalienable rights are being violated!
[Sovereign Citizen has been demonized by policy enforcers so I have removes where it
calls sovereigns sovereign Citizens-jww]
Principles Of Law Making
In the days before the turn of the century in America, the custom was for those studying
law to study the Bible and the laws contained therein so that those principles would
occupy a preeminent place in the minds of those practicing law. This is not the case
today; rather the opposite is true. The eternal truths contained in the Bible have been lost
from the view of those who need them the most. It is still the best place to learn about
laws generally, as well as other eternal truths. The concept of a system of laws not
founded upon those eternal truths is tantamount to building a house on quick sand.
In America, the sovereign power resides in and comes only from the People. "We the
People" are the sovereigns. All the power and authority the government has ... was
given to it by the People! If we don’t have the right to do a thing, then we cannot
delegate such a right to any government! ("We cannot give to anyone or anything any
power or authority we do not have!")
Is it not in controversion to this principle that representatives of the People — legislators
or bureaucrats or judges — pretend they can make laws to implement powers We the
People did not and cannot give them? It is self-evident! Yet they pretend they can do
virtually anything they or even a majority of them merely agree among themselves
(vote) to do; they publish interpretations of laws and promulgate rules based on those
interpretations; or they render decisions that are clearly antithetical to the concepts set
forth in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution as the Founding Fathers
understood and expounded them; and thereby they violate their sworn oath to defend and
uphold the Constitution.
They know that few if any who discover such usurpation will have the perseverance, let
alone the financial means and time required to find a qualified, willing attorney to utilize
the court system to expose their usurpation and bring them to account and thus rectify
their malfunction.
They also promote and rely on the general MISCONCEPTION that any statute
passed by a legislature is valid. It is impossible for both the Constitution and a law
violating it to be valid; one must prevail! This is succinctly stated as follows:
"The general rule is that an unconstitutional statute, though having the form and
name of law, is in reality no law, but is wholly void and ineffective for any purpose
since unconstitutionality dates from the time of its enactment, and not merely from
the date of the decision so branding it. An unconstitutional law, in legal
contemplation, is as inoperative as if it had never been passed ...
"Since an unconstitutional law is void, the general principles follow that it imposes no
duties, confers no rights, creates no office, bestows no power or authority on anyone,
affords no protection and justifies no acts performed under it ... No one is bound to obey
an unconstitutional law and no courts are bound to enforce it." 16 Am Jur 2nd §177
"The general rule is that an unconstitutional act of the Legislature protects no one. It is
said that all persons are presumed to know the law, meaning that ignorance of the law
excuses no one; if any person acts under an unconstitutional statute, he does so at his
peril and must take the consequences." 16 Am Jur 2d §178
"Where rights secured by the Constitution are involved, there can be no rule making or
legislation which would abrogate them." Miranda v. Arizona, 384 US 436 at 491.
In order for a law to be proper, it must be just. It must protect equally the rights of all
without violating the rights of any. There is nothing mysterious about proper law; it is
based on reasonableness and common sense, and is harmonious with the Laws of God.
Check a law against this measure to see if it fits the mold of eternal truth and justice: say
to yourself, "Would I be unwilling to have this law applied to myself or my closest
friend?" If such application seems repugnant to you, if it seems unfair or unjust, then
there is probably something wrong with that law. God knows that people’s political
standards are a reliable reflection of their moral standards and that the laws which they
support are a good test of how they wish to be judged (Matthew 7:1). People can clearly
see that taking money from some one by force is a crime when done by individuals,
but they may fail to recognize the criminality of the same act when done by
government.
For example, how would you feel if you had a particular "entitlement" and the
government told you that you were authorized to collect a portion of this government
handout from each of your neighbors? Let’s suppose that your "entitlement" is food
stamps: instead of giving you stamps, the government gives you a list of people from
whom you are "authorized" to collect the money to buy the food. How would you feel if
they told you it was all right to force your neighbors to give you the money? And every
time you needed more food, you had to do it all over again? Would that be right? If not,
why? Would changing the name of the collector make it right? Would it go against your
grain to do so? How would your neighbors feel when you presented your
"authorization"? How would you feel if your neighbors were coming to collect FROM
YOU for some other "entitlement" program they were "authorized" to collect?
The Commercial Affidavit Process is a pre-common law process. It is also referred to as
a "commercial law process," not to be confused with the [Uniform] Commercial Code
and other manipulated and complicated rules and regulations. It is a pre-common law
process because until there is a disagreement, there is no dispute. All that is being done
is the establishment of claims and obligations. The purpose of the CAP is to make
claims and determine if the accused agrees or not. If the Accused does not contest the
claims there is no dispute to be adjudicated thus the appropriate damages are
consensually agreed-upon. Thus it is pre-judicial. It may also be completely non-judicial
if it is properly (composed of unrebuttable truth) and successfully implemented.
The term "commercial" as used herein refers to any dealings people have among
themselves. Thus the "laws of commerce" refers to the just rules of procedure governing
human relationships, the self-evident principles of right and wrong which are the
foundation of the common law.
The foundation of COMMERCIAL LAW rests solidly on the bedrock of justice and
common sense. These laws are so sound and so universally accepted that they cannot
with impunity be overturned, overwritten or tampered with in any way: they are founded
on eternal truths, needing no proof from anyone to justify their validity (i.e.,
self-evident); they are immutable; they provide equal justice to all parties of interest and
thus are completely fair. That is the KEY to their power. All other just laws spring from
this foundation. (By contrast, corrupted laws are mere shadows of these true and correct
principles.)
Justice is delivered quickly, simply, fairly and conclusively with the Commercial
Affidavit Process. This may be a terrible disappointment to wrong-doers who are
confident they can get away with their illegitimate activities. Those who are subverting
just laws, setting them aside, covering them up, creating shadow-law or colorable law
and just generally using self-serving laws to subject and plunder their fellow man are in
for a rude awakening. In summary, the Common Law grows out of the laws of
commerce which themselves are based upon self-evident truths. Such truths are
commonly expressed as maxims.
Maxims In Law
Maxims are as much a part of the laws of human relations (commerce) as a foundation is
a part of a building. They are fundamental and immutable, having their basis in God’s
Laws. No one of sound mind argues against them. They are the bedrock of logic, of
reason, of common sense, of truth. They are fundamental principles upon which all that
is right, just and true is founded. They are the standards to measure the correctness of
any course or action.
The word "maxim" is defined as an expression of an absolute truth or principle. Maxims
are so powerful and unequivocal that they are the foundation of all human relationships.
They have the power to cut to the heart of a matter in a heartbeat with reason, logic, and
authority. They cover every topic imaginable and every aspect of our lives. They are not
easily misunderstood, misapplied, or subverted; they are universally accepted for what
they are: self-evident TRUTHS.
Maxims might be considered the redundant backup system when all else fails.
Anyone who is not schooled in the logic of maxims is easily confused for the want of
such understanding. The legal profession has a vested interest in keeping the People
ignorant of these principles: protecting the need for their "priestcraft." Priestcraft is "the
craft of specialists who work to create the illusion their craft is too complex to be
understood by anyone else."
It doesn’t take a law degree to understand maxims.
The light of truth in maxims cannot be extinguished through the evil works and
craftiness of men. They may be forgotten by many, intentionally concealed by some, but
they still exist, no matter what, and they won’t go away!
Below are maxims that surround the rightfulness and lawfulness of the Commercial
Affidavit Process. This by no means is an exhaustive list:
Regarding Justice . . .
— All are equal under the Law.

— A matter must be expressed to be resolved.

— Claims made without accountability are void.

— Might does not make right.

— Force, perjury or subornation of perjury, voids all.

— Fraud vitiates the most solemn promise.

— While the battle continues, he who first leaves the field or refuses to
contend loses by default.

— You are free to make any decision you wish, but you are never free to
escape the consequences of your decisions.

— A laborer is worthy of his hire.

— Thou shalt not steal.

— Notice to the agent is notice to the principal and notice to the principal
is notice to the agent.

— Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.

Regarding Truth . . .
— Truth stands supreme.
 — Truth affects but cannot be affected.

— Truth is expressed in the form of an affidavit.

— Truth will out.

— An unrebutted affidavit stands as the truth.

— An affidavit must be rebutted point-for-point.

— Thou shall not bear false witness.

— Ignorance is no respecter, it affects all without regard to position or title.

Regarding Sovereignty . . .
— It is self-evident that all men are endowed by their creator (God) with equal and
unalienable rights.

— The created cannot be greater than its creator.

— A man can give to another no more than he himself has.

— A man may not with impunity infringe upon another man’s rights.

— The People are Sovereign.

— In America the government is the servant of the "sovereign" People.

Regarding Power and Authority . . .

— We cannot give to anyone or anything any power or authority we do not have.

Failed Legal System

Although the court system MAY have an essential part to play once the Commercial
Affidavit has been served AND ANSWERED, that system is not and cannot be invoked
until the charges in the affidavit have been answered by (1) acquiescence, (2) rebuttal or
(3) default: until that point, THERE IS NO DISAGREEMENT TO ADJUDICATE. A
disagreement could arise only from a rebuttal.
But even though it would be feasible to involve the court system to adjudicate such
disagreement, no one seeking JUSTICE really would want to do so because the court
system has become extremely costly, very slow and corrupted by the conniving
convolutions of man-made rules and legalisms and by the natural inclinations of those
who live from the legal system to promote the financial success of the legal business!
If any adjudication is found necessary (only in the event of rebuttal) it will be done by a
common law jury invoked at the discretion of the Claimant (see "RESOLUTION BY
JURY" below). In stark contrast to the equity court system of today, the CAP system is
so effective in exposing the truth, in rendering and enforcing justice, that it is a lethal
weapon in the war for the freedoms and liberties — the unalienable rights — of the
People.
Private Matter
The Commercial Affidavit Process places the full power of justice back in the hands of
the common man. It cannot be overstated that the whole Commercial Affidavit Process
is not dependent on the court system. It functions quite well on its own outside the
current legal system.
It needs to be thoroughly understood that because it is driven by SWORN TRUTH,
the Commercial Affidavit Process is outside the jurisdiction of any equity court. It
is a private contract matter. Should an attempt be made to involve an equity court it
would result in a trespass against the Affiant’s rights: those interfering individuals, who
were unlawfully involved, would themselves become one of the accused. An equity
court has no jurisdiction whatsoever, for the CAP is strictly a non-judicial or pre-judicial
process between individuals and is private.
This alone presents a very real dilemma for those who are accustomed to using the
legal system to work wrongs and trespass against others with seeming impunity.
They can’t hide behind a legal system that only dispenses justice to those who can afford
to play the game. Those who are used to shielding themselves under "sovereign
immunity" protections, hiding behind legions of attorneys and judges, and using other
"legal tricks" now have none of this protection.
NO judge, court, law, or government can invalidate these commercial processes,
i.e., an affidavit or complaint or a lien based thereon because no third party can
invalidate someone’s affidavit of truth. A judge CANNOT interfere with, tamper with,
or in any way modify testimony without disintegrating the truth-seeking process of his
profession, destroying the very fabric of his own occupation and abrogating the First
Amendment which was established to protect truth. For a judge to interfere with
testimony is to commit professional suicide and to invite countless civil and criminal
repercussions. ANYONE who tampers with testimony is a threat to the peace and
security of society, violating its laws and acting as its enemy and is therefore justifiably
subject to the appropriate penalties. The Commercial Affidavit Process is by its very
nature private, and strictly between parties of interest, only. It is unequivocally
non-judicial.
Sworn Truth
The foundation of the law, commerce and the whole legal system consists in telling the
truth ("I solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth ...") either by testimony, by
deposition or by affidavit. Every honorable judge requires those who appear before him
to be sworn to tell the truth and is compelled by the high principles of his profession to
protect and seek out the truth.
A Commercial Affidavit is an Affidavit of Truth. It is the sworn testimony of the
Affiant who solemnly swears that the facts contained therein are true, correct and
certain. Every claim made in the Affidavit is backed up by documentary evidence that is
provable without any contrivance.
Meeting The Demands
If (as is usually the case) the Accused recognizes the charges are true and/or decides
(correctly) that the wisest thing to do is meet the demands rather than face the staggering
punitive damages which accompany the issuance of the Criminal Complaint, the
Accused has the option of simply meeting the demands for redress as required by or
negotiated with the Claimant. If the Accused has the good sense to meet the demands
of the Claimant, then the wrongs have been satisfactorily redressed; and that is the
end of the issue: all charges are resolved; the Commercial Affidavit Process is
closed.
Anyone is free to use the CAP system; but it is a two-edged sword: it cuts both ways!
Anyone who undertakes it MUST follow the maxim, "Be honest with yourself,"
because, especially under the Commercial Affidavit Process, "Truth will out!"
Consequently it is extremely important to ensure that everything in the affidavit is true
and unrebuttable.
Acquiescence
When one is the Accused in a commercial affidavit process properly (truthfully) done,
by far THE WISEST COURSE IS TO REDRESS THE CLAIMANT AS DEMANDED
— whatever must be done to accomplish it.
Should the Accused be misguided into choosing ANY response other than acquiescence,
the Criminal Complaint will issue accompanied by the Commercial Lien based on the
Complaint’s ledger of charges, counts, redresses demanded and ADDING (1)
PUNITIVE DAMAGES and (2) INCARCERATION as provided in the applicable
federal and/or State criminal codes. Although it is extremely unlikely in the face of a
properly done affidavit, should the Accused believe that Affiant’s charges are somehow
in error, he or she may (DURING THE GRACE PERIOD ONLY) rebut any such
charge; however, (1) such response will NOT avoid issuance of the Trial Criminal
Complaint; (2) the Commercial Lien will still issue for any charges not rebutted AND
(3) a second Commercial Lien will issue for any rebutted charges about which the
Common Law Jury thereby convened remains unpersuaded! Hence REBUTTAL (unless
100% successful — which is highly unlikely) WILL NOT AVOID the horrendous
PUNITIVE DAMAGES and INCARCERATION provided by law.
Rebuttal
The sworn Affidavit will stand as truth if not timely rebutted by the Accused. In the
instant case, thirty (30) days.
The only one who can rebut a Commercial Affidavit is the Accused who alone, by his
own affidavit, must speak for himself and only for himself. If the Accused uses someone
else to speak for him, the third party must speak for and in behalf of the Accused as if he
were the Accused; and the Accused still stands completely liable as if he himself were
speaking. If however, the third party is identified as separated from the Accused, he also
becomes a co-party with the Accused as an accomplice, thus a co-conspirator having no
immunity whatsoever.
Every charge or claim contained in the Claimant’s Affidavit must be rebutted
point-for-point by the Accused. The Accused’s rebuttal must be done in the form of an
Affidavit of Truth. That means it must be SWORN TESTIMONY and must be
signed by at least two witnesses. The Accused/Affiant must swear to the truth, the
correctness and the certainty of his or her rebuttals within that affidavit, thereby
assuming complete liability for the statements contained in it and must be prepared to
prove his or her statements, preferably with documentation that is unimpeachable.
Failure to follow the correct process of rebutting the charges or ANY ATTEMPT TO
PRESENT REBUTTAL EVIDENCE THAT IS NOT SWORN AS BOTH TRUE and
"THE WHOLE TRUTH" INVALIDATES such response as if no evidence or rebuttal
were given at all. SUCH FAILURE IS FATAL TO THE DEFENSE!
If a proper rebuttal is offered, any of several conclusions may result:
1. If any or all charges are rebutted, those charges will (at Claimant’s discretion) be
resolved as described under "RESOLUTION BY JURY."

2. Any charges not rebutted or redressed will result in a DEFAULT

CONVICTION for those charges and the issuance of a "non-trial" criminal
complaint which will be covered under "CRIMINAL LIABILITY."

Resolution By Jury
The Claimant may accept or reject Accused’s rebuttal of any charge, point-for-point.
Claimant’s acceptance of the rebuttal of any point resolves that point. At the discretion
of the Claimant ALL UNACCEPTED POINTS may be either resolved by another
affidavit on those points, repeating the process. The fallout of all the Affidavits are
resolved by a common-law jury. If and when the jury system is used, the Claimant will
draft the Criminal Complaint, subpoena a jury, and the process will move to a
full-blown, common-law criminal trial.
If the matter goes to a common-law criminal trial, the trial will be held under the rules of
common law. These rules are significantly different from those in an equity court
proceeding. In common-law trials, technical rules are virtually non-existent. Like its
name, the rules of common-law trials are from common sense. The procedure is very
simple and straightforward. It’s designed to arrive at the true facts, assess guilt and
render a just verdict without undue delays or fancy maneuvering, thus eliminating delays
intended to forestall or get the Accused acquitted on some technicality. The jury is the
real boss. It decides what is relevant and what is not. The jurors hear what they want to
hear and exclude what they feel is not relevant. The Claimant or his appointee becomes
the prosecutor, and the Accused or his appointee becomes the defense attorney. The
parties of interest (the Claimant and the Accused) may have anyone they want as
counsel, professional or not.
The risk faced by the Accused is very real. A common-law court only recognizes
common law, and it applies common-law decisions. Equity court decisions and rules that
conflict with the common law are without standing in common-law proceedings.
In the Commercial Affidavit Process, the claimants are almost always sovereigns. As
such they have legal standing at common law. The Accused are usually "subject
citizens" being charged with crimes against "sovereigns." Typically the acts committed
have been done under colorable law with colorable authority or colorable jurisdiction, in
which case is patently unconstitutional and therefore void, leaving the Accused
defenseless: so a second Commercial Lien will issue for those redresses and punitive
damages of which the jury has not exonerated the Accused.
Due Process
In order to meet the demands of due process, the parties must have reasonable time to
express their versions of the controversy ("In order for a matter to be resolved, it must be
expressed.") Therefore a grace period must be allowed, commonly referred to as
"commercial grace." Many court jurisdictions allow only 20 days, which may be
sufficient; but the Claimant in his discretion believes that 30 days is more reasonable. At
the Claimant’s discretion, even more time may be granted without notice; HOWEVER,
that does not relieve the defense of the obligation to respond within the time of
commercial grace given — default falls by declaration in thirty (30) days.
How important is it to TIMELY answer the accusations made in a Sworn Affidavit of
Truth? IT IS VITALLY IMPORTANT! If the Accused fail to properly and timely
answer, he stands to lose all and will have foreclosed to himself any future possibility of
redressing or rebutting those charges. The primary objective is to insure justice quickly
and with a minimum of difficulty. Failure to timely answer is fatal to the outcome. It is
equivalent to abandoning the battlefield and causes loss by default ("While the battle
continues, he who first leaves the field or refuses to contend loses by default.")
The Accused, having started the contest by violating and trespassing upon the Affiant’s
rights, cannot with impunity leave the contest. The victory and the spoils goes to him
who stays and is the last to leave the battle. The loser loses and in so doing, grants the
spoils to the victor. There is no recovery for the loser; notwithstanding any new battle
which may ensue, the loss still stands; it can’t be set aside. Consequently, the Accused’s
failure to redress or rebut charges contained in a Commercial Affidavit is tantamount to
abandoning the battlefield: thus losing by default.
Some in government, by trying to hide behind some rule or procedure that requires
Claimants to follow some predetermined course or time limit, commit a fatal error! They
are usually relying on some statute or other inferior level of protection, which might
apply to those who are subject to such jurisdiction, but not to sovereigns. When
"estoppel by acquiescence" caused by failure to timely answer enters the picture, as it
surely will in this setting, the result has a far-reaching impact on the future of each
Accused.
Criminal Liability
Responding to the Commercial Affidavit is critically important: the Accused is usually
being charged with very serious crimes that carry very heavy, punitive penalties. The
law has always viewed trespassing upon unalienable rights as being an offense so
serious that it is beyond satisfaction merely by payment of the approximate money
damages demanded.
The Affidavit is a commercial complaint, but it is not yet a "criminal" complaint. The
main distinction is that by resolving the charges during the Affidavit stage, the Accused
can get off by simply redressing the grievances as specified in the Affidavit or as
mutually negotiated. If the Accused recognizes his or her errors and wants to redress the
Claimant but does not have the ability to do so within the time limit, the Accused may
contact the Claimant and express that desire with a written statement to that effect. Then
arrangements can be made to stop any further action. If some such arrangements are not
made, then the CRIMINAL COMPLAINT issues adding PUNITIVE DAMAGES and
JAIL TIME!
The Criminal Complaint is in reality a ledger in which those details which were omitted
in the Affidavit are (now) spelled out. It lists the causes of action, the number of counts,
redresses demanded and the MASSIVE CIVIL PENALTIES (which occur when
unalienable rights are violated), thus compounding the problems for the Accused: now,
on top of the redresses being demanded, massive PUNITIVE DAMAGES are added as
well! Normally this increases the cost to the Accused by a factor of at least a hundred if
not a thousand fold. The effects of the criminal complaint invariably destroy all
prospects for the future of the Accused!
An S.E.C. Security
When the Commercial Affidavit has matured, (after 30 days) it is evidence of a debt
and/or obligations. In order for it to be classed as a security, it must carry the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission (S.E.C.) TRACER FLAG on it from the
very beginning. As a security it must conform to the rules governing securities and must
be identified and monitored as such from the beginning.
A Ledger Identifying The Penalties
Since the Criminal Complaint is in reality a ledger in which the causes of action and the
number of counts are listed and the civil penalties (punitive damages) determined, the
criminal complaint acts as a punishment tool for wrongdoers who will not repent.
Should the Accused be so foolish as to ALLOW the Criminal Compliant to be activated
(i.e., fail to answer by redressment or rebuttal), the war is over: all that remains is
collecting the spoils of battle. The Accused has lost and lost in a very big way. In all
probability the Accused will never recover from the consequences.
This is true is because THE "TRIAL" WAS GOING ON DURING THE 30 DAYS. To
compare the Commercial Affidavit Process to a conventional trial would look like this:
The Commercial Affidavit presents the prosecutor’s case in one fell swoop. The moment
the Accused is served, the defense process begins. THE ACCUSED THEN HAS 30
DAYS TO MAKE A CASE. IF during that time the Accused make no defense nor
redress of the charges, he or she then stands convicted by default! The "trial" is now
over. The Criminal Complaint is only a formality to calculate the punitive damages
against the Accused which thus have been awarded to the Claimant.
Accompanying the Criminal Complaint is the COMMERCIAL LIEN which issued by
CONSENSUAL DEFAULT against all the assets of the Accused. This effectively gives
the Claimant lien rights against all of the property of the Accused. Such a lien may be
filed in the county recorder’s office; however, this filing is not a necessity, but, a
convenience. Any common law commercial lien will stand by law for one hundred years
or until the damages have been collected. In most cases that means practically forever
because the Accused does not, and probably never will have enough property to satisfy
the damages thus assessed.
Now the full power of the legal enforcement system can be brought to bear to collect the
damages owed by the Accused. The Sheriff is empowered to seize pay checks, cars,
homes: anything and everything.
Loss Of Government Employment
The Accused is in fact a convicted felon: unbondable by any insurance company, subject
by law to immediate termination if employed by the government and forever barred
from holding public office.
Jail
The Criminal Complaint is turned over to the appropriate Prosecuting Attorney, who
must institute a sentencing hearing wherein a judge will impose the incarceration
(jail-time) prescribed in the appropriate criminal codes for the offenses of which the
Accused stands convicted. Should any such authority fail to prosecute sentencing against
the convicted party, the mildest charge then faced by such authority is Felony
Misprision; but such Prosecuting Attorney could also be charged with conspiracy to aid
and abet the convicted party in commission of the same offenses.
Under our current political situation, where the enemies of the People often occupy
positions of power and authority and those same people can prevent or slow the wheels
of justice, there are still many ways to publish the convictions and misdeeds of parties so
convicted that can be even more humiliating to the convicted than the normal methods
of publishing the results of their conviction.
Summary
The fundamental purpose, and one of the major objectives of the Commercial Affidavit
Process is to educate wrongdoers to the fact they have abused the unalienable rights of a
sovereigns and cannot get away with it, and to give them an opportunity (commercial
grace) to repent and undo the wrongs they have done. Unlike the typical criminal trial
where the Accused no longer has the option of simply redressing the wrongs he or she
has done, the Commercial Affidavit Process DOES give the Accused that option!
Further, the CAP is designed to educate wrongdoers that they are being used by the
conspirators in the war against the People. Thus they may see for themselves what is
really going on and decide which side they choose to serve.
Role of the Courts
An affidavit is someone’s solemn expression of truth. The foundation of the law,
commerce, and the whole legal system consists of telling the truth ("I swear to tell the
truth, the whole truth . . . "), either by testimony, deposition, and/or by affidavit.
Every honorable judge requires those who appear before him to be sworn to tell the
truth, and is compelled by the high principles of his profession to protect truth and do
nothing to tamper with that truth, either directly or indirectly, either in person or by
proxy, or by subornation of an affiant or other person.
A judge CANNOT interfere with, tamper with, or in any way modify testimony without
disintegrating the truth-seeking process in his sacred profession and destroying the fabric
of his own occupation. To do so abrogates the First Amendment, which was established
to protect truth. It is committing professional suicide, as well as inviting countless civil
and criminal repercussions.
ANY judge who tampers with testimony, deposition, or affidavit, is a threat to the
Commercial Peace and Dignity of the County, State, and United States of America,
thereby violating the laws of all those political subdivisions and acting in the nature of a
foreign enemy agent (A MIXED WAR), justifiably subject to penalties of TREASON.
WHOEVER acts against Commercial Affidavits without executing the necessary
Commercial Paperwork under affidavit is subject to being charged criminally. Said
charges begin with FRAUD, which is gaining at the expense of the loss of another using
trickery or deception, and the charges expand from there to include all those violations
that extend to and are a natural outgrowth of such fraud.
Commercial processes are fundamentally non-judicial and pre-judicial. NO judge, court,
law, or government can invalidate these commercial processes; i.e., an affidavit or a lien
or complaint based thereon, because no third party can invalidate someone’s affidavit of
truth. To act against such affidavit is to create a situation and or enhance the condition of
A MIXED WAR. No one can rebut an affiant except a party (e.g., a lien debtor) who
alone, by his own affidavit, must speak for himself if challenged. Only someone himself
knows his truth and has the right and responsibility to assert it.
The MIXED WAR situation and or condition is that where those in authority have
violated their oaths of office, violated the fundamental law they took an oath to uphold
and protect, violated the codes, statutes and regulations that govern them thereby they
disregarded the peace and safety of the community by their actions, acting for
undisclosed foreign agents or governments, against those whom they swore to protect
[see Black’s Law Dictionary on War]. Simply, an act or acts of TREASON in a secret
war against the people.
Notes on the Above Article
What you have read gives you the theoretical foundation for most of this manual.
Practically, there are difficulties with the strategy described above. Conducting a
common-law criminal trial is not easy, as the author noted. The court system has, for
practical purposes, extinguished that option. Thus, territorial gangsters are often shielded
from criminal prosecution. However, the one aspect of the strategy that can still be
effective is Commercial Liens. As of this writing, it seems that no judge can extinguish
such a lien if it is properly executed.
Constitutions as Enforceable Contracts
The Commercial Lien Strategy depends upon one "maxim" as its linchpin: the idea of a
constitution as a specific performance contract between a governing official and the
people in a particular jurisdiction. Some writers (such as Lysander Spooner) have
denounced the U.S. Constitution as a fraud, on the grounds that it is not an enforceable
contract (see Report #TL07: The Constitution of No Authority available at this website).
The Commercial Lien Strategy, by contrast, holds that constitutions are enforceable
contracts. The instruments of contract? OATHS OF OFFICE. The Commercial Lien
Strategy assumes that, when an official signs an oath, he/she signs a contract to exercise
the powers of office within the limitations of the constitution and the laws. On paper,
there are sanctions against officials who violate their oaths.
"Whoever, having taken an oath before a competent tribunal, officer, or person, in
any case in which a law of the United States authorizes an oath to be administered,
willfully and contrary to such oath states or subscribes any material matter which
he does not believe to be true, is guilty of perjury and shall be fined no more than
$2,000.00 or imprisoned not more than five years or both." 18 U.S.C. §1621
In practice, it is very difficult to prosecute a malfeasant public official. However, such
officials may be exposed to great personal, commercial liability for violating their oaths
of office.
Apparently, many government officials realize this. Alfred Adask, editor/publisher of
The AntiShyster, writes:
"A friend of mine recently asked the [Texas] Secretary of State for copies of Governor’s
and AG’s oaths, but received no response for nearly two months. Finally, he received a
copy of the AG [Dan] Morales’s oath which was dated January, 1991, but was not file
stamped until March 26, 1993. Very suspicious. Governor [Anne] Richard’s oath is yet to
be found by the Secretary of State. Likewise, very suspicious.
"It appears possible (probable?) that the Governor and AG had not taken their oaths of
office for two years after they were elected. If so, they were (are?) probably in office
illegally. It would follow then, that anything they’d done or signed in an official capacity
in the last two years might also be unlawful and without legal merit.
"The potential for legal havoc could be huge. Laws signed by the Governor during the
last two years might not be lawful; the entire Executive branch of the Texas State
government might be without lawful authority to enforce any law or regulation;
innumerable criminal convictions might be reversed. All of the civil court cases
prosecuted by Attorney General Morales and the entire AG’s office (which derives its
authority from the AG’s oath) might also be unlawful.
"Of course, it’s virtually impossible that the courts will rule that all official acts of Texas
for the last two years are unlawful. But whether those official acts are bogus or not, there
is an infinitely more important question:
"Why weren’t the oaths of the Governor and Attorney General of Texas — the two most
important officials in the Executive branch of our state’s government — on file at the
Secretary of State’s office?
"Why? Some sort of clerical error?
"I don’t think so. I think the oaths were missing because they didn’t exist . . .
[Emphasis added]
"So perhaps some officials simply choose to be ‘oathless’ in an attempt to ‘cover their
butts’ from being sued (or ‘liened on’) for not ‘upholding and defending’ the state
constitution? Could be."
Bonding of Government Officials
Some pro se litigants postulate the requirement that government officials be "bonded."
As far as anyone knows, this theory has not been tested in court. Nonetheless, some
readers of this manual may wish to research this topic further. Therefore, what follows is
a brief exposition of the theory.
The "bonding" theory states that most elected officials and government administrators
(perhaps even lawyers), are legally required to be "bonded." That is, they must purchase
a "performance bond" (a kind of insurance policy) which guarantees that the official will
perform the duties required by his office.
In the event the government official fails to perform his duties, any party injured by this
breach of contract can recover the cost of his damages from the bonding company.
According to these pro se litigants, despite the legal requirement that government
officials be bonded, many, perhaps most, are not. Therefore, the "bonding requirement"
strategy is based on first determining if a given official is legally required to be bonded.
Then, if he is bonded — and evidence can be shown to the bonding company that he is
failing to meet the performance requirements of his bond — the bonding company may
revoke the bond or raise his premium, which should help "encourage" the wayward
official to obey the law.
Further, if the bond is required by law in order to hold a particular office, once that bond
is lost, it’s possible that the office must also be surrendered.
If the official is not bonded, then the lien process includes notifying the government
official of this legal deficiency. If he does not correct the deficiency (purchase a
performance bond) within 90 days, then anyone damaged by his actions can file a
commercial lien on the government official for all of his personal property.
Also (according to this theory) a government official’s bond is dependent upon his legal
immunity, and that immunity is to some extent based on having a legal Oath of Office on
file (usually with the Secretary of State). If his Oath of Office is insufficient to meet the
Constitutional or statutory requirements, he may lose his immunity and his bond. If he
loses his bond, he becomes personally liable ("lienable") for any illegal act he commits
in office.

Chapter 3 - Basic Concepts of Liens

Lien — Definition
"Lien. A claim, encumbrance, or charge on property for payment of some debt,
obligation or duty . . . Qualified right of property which a creditor has in or over specific
property of his debtor, as security for the debt or charge or for performance of some act."
Black’s Law Dictionary, 6th Ed., p. 922 [emphasis added]
A lien is a public declaration of commercial debt and/or obligation. "Debt" usually refers
to money or property. "Obligation" usually refers to the fulfillment of specific
performance. Examples include the fulfillment of oath of public office or the provision
of the tax-financed due process, as in the provision of a jury trial instead of a summary
process.
Examples of liens include mortgages and automobile loans. In both instances, the
possessor has the right to use the property. However, he may not sell or otherwise
alienate the property without first satisfying the lien. Any attempt to evade the lien is
known as poundbreach, which is a felony in most jurisdictions.
An individual who has no debt, no need to borrow money and does not contemplate
selling or refinancing his house or car can probably live with a lien for a long time.
However, most people (especially most government officials!) do not fall into that
category. Therefore, even though a Commercial Lien does not cause outright forfeiture
of property, it can still cause significant hardship.
Even more vexing to the lien debtor is the fact that the lien is not causing him any actual
damages. Rather, it prevents him from doing that which he may want to do.
Therefore, suing the lien claimant for damages is not easy, provided that the lien
has been properly executed.
Types Of Liens
• Common Law Liens are non-commercial "Lis Pendens" Liens that must be upheld by
judicial action in a court before claims to assets can be executed. Common law liens are
usually used more in a defensive way to shield and protect assets, rather than an
offensive way to lay claim to assets. (See further discussion under Comparisons).
 • Equity Liens arise from an equity court or administrative court.

• Statutory Liens are established by the statutory laws of the state.

• Mortgage Liens are created by contract between borrowers and lenders,

with the asset of the borrower pledged as collateral to the lender.

• Mechanics Liens are typically used by repair service providers as a claim on

an item repaired, to ensure payment for repair services rendered. The name
originated from when an auto mechanic repairs a car and the owner fails to
pay for the repair. Then the mechanic can file a lien on the car.

• Commercial Liens, also known as contract liens, are true bills in commerce
publicly declared. A true bill in commerce always contains, and is
characterized by, a one-to-one correspondence between an item or service
purchased and a debt owed. This commercial relationship is what is known as
"just compensation" (5th Amendment, U.S. Constitution). A normal true bill
in commerce is private, whereas a commercial lien is publicly declared, using
means such as media advertising and/or filing at the County Recorder. When it
is uncontested by a categorical point-by-point rebuttal of the affidavits, it is
considered an account receivable security (15 U.S.C.).

In general, commercial liens (e.g., mechanics and workmens liens) take seniority over
common-law liens, which, in turn, take precedence over mortgage liens. Tax liens are
classified as commercial liens, which is why they are so troublesome.
Comparisons
Common Law liens are well-known in the Sovereign community for asset protection.
They are considered non-commercial, because they do not contain a declaration of
one-to-one correspondence between an item or service purchased and the debt owed.
Thus, they don’t represent true bills in commerce. Because of that defect, a
non-commercial lien must be adjudicated by a court of common law before the asset can
be claimed by the other party, and is therefore known as a Lis Pendens Lien. The
commercial value of a Lis Pendens Lien rests upon the outcome of the pending
litigation. Hence it is a security, but is not an account receivable until it is adjudicated as
such.
So, common law liens are normally used as defensive shields, in that by placing it on
one’s own asset to be protected, no other party can legally get access to the asset without
first challenging the lien in court. That’s why it is called a Lis Pendens Lien. The lien
might be filed at a county recorder and never be challenged in court, because parties
who have no just and legal right to the property will usually avoid the risk of failing to
prove the claim in court. It is considered asset protection, since it is difficult or
impossible for anyone to get at the equity in an asset if a Lis Pendens Lien of sufficient
size has senior position.
A commercial lien, by contrast, is offensive in nature, in that it declares a legal right to
someone else’s asset as a debt owed as a one-to-one correspondence with an asset that
was given. It is not a Lis Pendens Lien, because the exact value is already specifically
determined, consistent with the laws of commerce. It is a true bill in commerce.
Although a commercial lien can be challenged by a common law court or by a 7th
Amendment jury trial, it does not require a court process or a court judgment for its
establishment, validity, or effectiveness.
A commercial lien may not be removed by anyone except the lien claimant, or a
properly-convened, properly-conducted jury trial (due process). It may not be removed
by a summary process. A summary process is too vulnerable to bribery, kickbacks, and
fraud of process.
Like the common law lien, the commercial lien can be filed by common citizens,
without the aid or expense of a lawyer, and without the approval or interference of the
courts. You do the necessary research, you fill out the lien, you have it notarized, and
you file it with your County Clerk. It’s simple, inexpensive, and so powerful it can give
a common person an enormous amount of legal "leverage" that is largely beyond the
reach of the courts. (In some counties among the thousands of counties in the U.S., you
may find recalcitrant clerks who will refuse to file your properly-executed documents.
While such clerks are violating their sworn public duty to record and make a matter of
public record your properly-executed documents, as a practical matter suing a
recalcitrant country clerk usually will be less effective than various alternatives. Your
best bet is probably: (1) Be low profile in recording any properly-executed, good-faith
documents. Don’t particularly discuss the contents of the documents you’re filing with
the clerk. You’re not trying to hide anything — after all, you’re making a matter of
public record various statements you are affirming the truth of, in good faith. But
attracting undue attention may impede the progress of anything you may wish to make a
matter of public record. (2) If you do run into a recalcitrant clerk who doesn’t like what
you’re doing, simply try another county, or try the same county on a different occasion.
This fits very well with our strategy of "creating your own creative alternative" when
confronted with certain bureaucratic obstacles. (3) You could as a different alternative
try using appropriate media publications to make your documents a matter of public
record (by "publishing the document"). You’ll need to research the particulars of how to
do this in your area, if you use this option. But finding a county clerk that does their job
routinely and properly is probably lower-profile.)
Unlike the common law lien (used to defend property you possess), a commercial lien is
"offensive" in nature since it enables you to "attack," threaten, or seize someone else’s
property which you do not possess. The fundamental difference between commercial
and common law liens centers on the issue of possession. In many states, such as
Oklahoma, a common law lien can only be filed against property which you lawfully
possess; this was decided in the Oklahoma Supreme Court case Williamson v.
Winningham, 186 P.2d 644. Check the laws in your own state. A commercial lien, by
contrast, can be filed against the property of anyone who owes you a financial debt or
duty of performance, regardless of whether you possess their property or not.
Liens vs. Levies
"Levy. A seizure. The obtaining of money by legal process through seizure and sale of
property; the raising of the money for which an execution has been issued.
"The process whereby a sheriff or other state official empowered by writ or other
judicial directive actually seizes, or otherwise brings under her control, a judgment
debtor’s property which is taken to secure or satisfy the judgment." Black’s Law
Dictionary, 6th Ed., p. 907
A levy is the outright seizure of a property in satisfaction of a debt or obligation. A lien,
on the other hand, is an encumbrance on property. Although the two often accompany
one another in judicial or commercial actions, they are not the same thing.

Chapter 4 - Procedures and Implementation

Research
First, obviously read everything in this manual, and anything else on the subject you can
find. While this manual provides all the most important basic information, it does not
presume to possibly cover comprehensively everything you would ever need to know on
commercial liens. New information is coming out every day, and you may discover
additional information from your own research and experience. Further, because Terra
Libra is not in the business of giving licensed legal advice, even this manual cannot be
relied upon as your law. This is simply information we believe to be accurate, and it is
your responsibility to confirm that it complies with the laws in your state, to protect
yourself.
It is assumed that you will already have specific purpose in mind, for the use of the lien.
You either have had property taken by officials in government-related agencies, which
you would like returned, or you have otherwise been damaged by their specific actions
or failure to fulfill their obligations in office. Or, you have some large ideological goal
you would like fulfilled for the benefit of society at large, like Mr. Marsh’s lien against
the U.S. Government. Whatever the case, much of the language of the documents to be
used will have to be composed by yourself, to articulate the necessary factors for the
fulfillment of your chosen purpose.
Notice and Demand
The first document you will be creating is the "Notice and Demand." It is imperative that
this step be included before filing the lien; otherwise, if this step is skipped, you could
be prosecuted, convicted, fined, and jailed for failure to follow legal due process.
Properly following due process is part of your actions being done in good faith.
After an errant official has been served a Notice and Demand, he must be given a
lawfully adequate period of time (check your local jurisdiction’s requirements) to correct
his error or breach of contract. Usually this is anywhere from 30 to 90 days.
For example, there was a Notice and Demand reportedly served by Charles Gray (a pro
se) to Judge Joel Feldman in Georgia (see Appendix B.1). In this Notice, Mr. Gray alleges
that Judge Feldman had broken various laws in the process of taking of some of Mr.
Gray’s property to repay back taxes to the IRS.
Although you can use ideas from Mr. Gray’s Notice and Demand, obviously your own
must be custom designed for your own purpose. Yet there are certain common elements
that should always characterize it:
1. It should be in the form of an Affidavit, and it should address the individual(s)
personally.

2. The Notice should be as concise as possible, preferably avoiding religion or

morality. It should focus on applicable law, and contain appropriate citations
of law, if possible, to support what is being claimed.

3. It must quote the legal amount of time given for the recipient to fulfill the
demand, and what will happen if the demand is not satisfied within that time.

4. It should give the recipient a certain period of time in which to rebut the
claims made therein.
 5. Finally, it should be hand-delivered or sent certified mail, return receipt
requested.

Notice of Default
If the individual does not respond to or rebut your Notice and Demand (see Appendix
B.1), you should then send a Notice of Default, stating that (1) the recipient has
acquiesced to your claims by default, and that (2) payment or satisfaction is expected.
Filing this Notice of Default (see Appendix B.2) with the County Recorder or Clerk of
Court where the lien debtor has property creates a public, legal record in support of your
subsequent lien.
Commercial Lien
If, after the lawful period passes without correction, only then can a Commercial Lien be
served to the offending official or sent Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested, and
also filed at the courthouse(s) for the county(ies) in which the offender has property.
The lien must be accompanied by (or must contain) a Commercial Affidavit, containing
a ledger of damages suffered. The lien must also cite the law(s), action(s) or
obligation(s) that gave rise to the damages. Models of both documents are listed in
Appendix B.

Lawsuits and Criminal Complaints

Some pro se litigants will first file a lawsuit (Title 42 U.S. Code §1983) or a criminal
complaint before filing a commercial lien. This step is included to show a "good faith"
attempt to obtain justice according to normal legal procedures. After the courts refuse to
consider the litigant’s legal complaints (which is usually the case), the litigant declares a
state of "Mixed War," and files the commercial lien.
An example of a Criminal Complaint is included in Appendix B.4. If you use it, you must
change the document to suit your particular situation. There is no "fill-in-the-blanks"
magic here!

Chapter 5 - Mistakes and Pitfalls to Avoid

Defective Legal Form and Procedure
When filing any lien, it is important to follow the legal forms and procedures of your
state or locality. Study the statutes for the locality in which you are filing, and follow
those forms and procedures religiously. Failure to do so can have serious consequences.
First, you may be civilly liable for "slander of title." In some jurisdictions (notably
Louisiana) this is called "jactitation," and a suit to remove the "cloud of title" and
recover damages is known as an "action of jactitation."
Even worse, in many jurisdictions, someone who files liens in bad faith, or who uses
defective forms or procedures, can be convicted of "felony slander of title." An example
of the possible repercussions is shown in the following newspaper article:
Headline on March 3, 1993, front page of the San Luis Obispo Telegram Tribune:
"Bogus Lien Filer Convicted."
"When Sheriff Williams tried . . . to refinance his . . . home . . . a routine check of county
records . . . showed someone had placed a $100,000 lien on the home . . . The lien was
filed by ‘Steven K. Jones, whom Sheriff Williams had never seen,’ until they met in
court on the issue of the lien.
"Jones defended himself without a lawyer against charges he filed the bogus liens
against property owned by Sheriff Williams and six others . . . who were involved in the
sale of his truck . . . conducted by the Sheriff’s Department to collect a portion of the
$22,000 in back taxes the Franchise Tax Board says Jones owes.
"Liens were also placed on property owned by the towing service operator who seized
the truck and on the man who bought the truck at the tax auction. Jones later placed that
man under citizen’s arrest for theft of this truck.
"Jones is one of what law enforcement authorities believe is a loosely affiliated group of
county residents who call themselves common law citizens — people who take
extraordinary steps to disavow government control in their lives. Jones has a notarized
document renouncing his citizenship . . . has taken steps to void his birth certificate . . .
relinquished his drivers license and social security number . . . and closed his bank
account because the bank card, he believes, gives the bank power of attorney.
"Jones’s two sons, 13 and 12, sat with his wife throughout the week-long trial. They are
taught at home and don’t attend school . . . ‘I have two small children who I want to see
grow up . . . and not be slaves to the government,’ he told the jury.
"But the prosecuting attorney said Jones went too far when he filed official looking
documents [the liens] for a $17 filing fee. According to the prosecutor, the documents
were ‘just garbage.’
"What Jones did is hardly a prank. Liens are a ‘ticking time bomb,’ said one expert on
real estate law. ‘The victim doesn’t even know it exists. Once a lien is recorded, it
remains on the books forever. Having a lien nullified — even one that’s fraudulent —
requires a court order. That process likely involves hiring an attorney and could take
anywhere from months to years.’
"A jury convicted Jones on two felony charges after deliberating less than a hour.
The maximum punishment is three years in prison on each count and a $75,000
fine.
"Outside the courtroom, Jones admitted that recording the liens was a mistake. He
couldn’t tell the jury, Jones confided, but he regrets what he did and blames advice from
a Sacramento-based anti-tax organization . . . which he paid $3,200 to join. He used
documents supplied by the anti-tax organizations to file the liens." [Emphasis added]
Evidently, Jones did not substantiate his liens with a "true bill in commerce," nor did he
serve the sheriff, et al, with the proper Notice and Demand (commercial grace). The
prosecuting attorney used both of these facts as evidence of bad faith, and easily
obtained a conviction. Let that experience be a lesson to others! Don’t use this material
unless you are very sure you know what you’re doing. Any actual results are your
own responsibility. The procedures discussed in this manual are not to be used "for
fun." Consider them to be "of academic interest only" if you’re less than fully sure,
in good faith, of what you’re doing. You, and you alone, are fully responsible for
any results that might arise from any actual use of these materials. We specifically
disclaim any such responsibility.
"Hanson-type" or "Nebulous" Liens
In the 1970’s, a man named Gerald Hanson started filing liens on various government
officials whom he regarded as corrupt. According to Hartford Van Dyke, a current
exponent of the Commercial Lien Strategy, Hanson’s liens were "nebulous." Apparently,
Hanson did not connect the officials’ misconduct with any specific monetary damages
suffered by him. (In other words, they were not true bills in commerce. Therefore,
judges ruled that these liens were Lis Pendens Liens, rendering them subject to equity
proceedings. That, of course, defeats the entire purpose of the commercial lien strategy.
A lien seems more likely to stand if a specific official violated her/his oath of office,
resulting in specific and identifiable damages to you. "Hanson-type" liens and "class
action liens" (such as Phil Marsh’s) stand on a shakier foundation.
Aiming Too High
Many proponents of the Commercial Lien Strategy have filed liens (like Phil Marsh’s)
upon the President of the United States, the Secretary of the Treasury, state governors
and the like. Whether or not such liens are legally accurate, they create a credibility
problem. First of all, did the President (for example) damage you by his specific actions?
If not, your lien has a weak foundation. Second, if you file such a lien, you may
temporarily get the attention of the public official (and some headlines) but you
ultimately risk looking like a "crank."
Rather than aiming to win "big," you may be more effective filing $10,000 or $100,000
liens on minor officials (like IRS agents) who have less public sympathy, and are easier
targets. Judges and sheriffs are more difficult, but not impossible. In the case of a judge
or a sheriff, it may be advisable to give more Notices of Demand than you technically
have to. This shows "good faith," and gives the other party a chance to correct the fault.
Beware of "Exotic" Arguments
Another "double-edged sword" is the insertion of books like Silent Weapons for Quiet
Wars as evidence for a lien or a suit. The question here is not one of merit, but
effectiveness. Can you win with such evidence? The answer is, "it depends."
Dr. Gene Schroeder, of the American Agricultural Movement, appealed a case last year,
in which he submitted evidence that the Federal court’s Admiralty jurisdiction was
obtained by a written declaration of war upon the American people, enacted by
Congress March 9, 1933 (48 Stat. 1). He states that two Federal judges involved with the
case resigned ("retired") shortly after the appeal was over. So, yes, it can work.
However, the risk of this approach is obvious. Unless your evidence is very strong, and
you (or your lawyer) have superb presentation and speaking skills, you risk looking like
a "mental case" if your action ever comes in front of a jury.
The key here may not be legal, but psychological. You need to have an accurate measure
of your opposition. If your "exotic" evidence is strong, and you can scare off the
prosecutor with an "embarrassing issue," then it may be effective. However, if your
opponent is psychologically more secure, that may not work. To put it another way, what
you can frighten a prosecutor or a judge with is one matter, but what you can convince
"twelve people in a jury box" to believe may be quite another!
Before you use such evidence (either in a lien or in court) you should take an honest
inventory of yourself. Do you have the psychological acumen, the strategic thinking
skills and the rational courage (which does not cross the line into recklessness) to
effectively use this evidence? If so, well and good. If not, you may wish to use more
conservative strategies.

Chapter 6 - Obstacles and Strategies for Overcoming Them

Refusal to File Liens
There have been instances reported (in California and Ohio, primarily) where county
recorders or clerks of court refuse to file Commercial Liens on government officials.
Usually, they have been instructed by their (frightened) superiors to do so. One strategy
for dealing with this problem (based on the Uniform Commercial Code) is described by
David DeReimer as follows:
1. Bring at least two witnesses along to every face-to-face meeting with the clerk,
Recorder of Deeds, Sheriff, etc.

2. After the meeting, have your witnesses prepare sworn affidavits of

whatever they saw and heard the clerk, official, sheriff, say, do, etc.

3. Get a written explanation or reason from clerk who refuses to record your
document.

4. As per your state Uniform Commercial Code section 3-505/501, send a

"Notice And Demand For Exhibition Or Presentment Without Dishonor" by
certified mail to the office that refused to accept your lien, demanding that
they exhibit:

a) The Statute or Law passed by the Legislature which authorizes

them to condemn the "Public" records for their personal and private
use;

b) Their personal Bar/Lawyer I.D. Number issued by the State Bar

or State Supreme Court which authorizes them to make "Legal
Determinations"; and,

c) The Statute or Law passed by the Legislature which authorizes

them to edit and/or censor documents prior to recording.

Give them reasonable time (30 days) to comply with your DEMAND to prove written
authority, and then put them ON NOTICE that the "Law of Principal and Agent"
specifies that "The Agent is personally liable for acts not authorized by the Principal."
As such, unless there are laws granting the clerk the power to refuse to record certain
documents, the clerk/agent has no corporate veil of immunity for his refusals and may be
personally vulnerable to a lawsuit.
5. If, after the reasonable time has elapsed, and they have failed to produce the written
"authority" you Demanded, send a Notice Of Default by certified mail, noticing them
that they have defaulted by not answering. In it, provide them with a "right to cure" their
Default by recording your original lien (or other documents) without further
interference, or suffer the consequences. Allow 10 to 30 days for their response.

6. If they don’t respond in the 10 to 30 days, send them via certified mail, a
"Notice of Amount Due" for the damage caused by their injury to you (or your
Property Rights) by their defalcation, dereliction of duty, default, and
unauthorized "Refusal to Record" in a sizable amount ($1,000??). Again, give
them reasonable time (30 days) to pay you.

7. After the 30 days reasonable time has passed (plus 4 or 5 days for the mail),
send them certified mail a "Final Notice of Amount Due" for the damage
caused by their injury to you. Again, give them reasonable time (30 days) to
pay you the amount of damages you’ve demanded.

8. If they don’t pay your "Final Notice" Demand in 30 days (plus 4 or 5 days
for the mail), go to the Country Elected Peace Officer (Sheriff), present copies
of the two certified mail Demands for payment, sign a "Distress Warrant" or
"Distraint Warrant" stating that you have NOT been paid, and have the Sheriff
go get your money or sell the clerk’s assets.

9. If the Sheriff refuses to execute your "Distraint Warrant," inform him that
you personally will perform his sworn duty FOR HIM, and on his behalf.
Inform him, also, that the newspapers will be informed that he has refused to
perform his own sworn duty but continues to cash his pay check, and that this
constitutes FRAUD by him since he only performs "Selective Enforcement"
of the law — which is unlawful. Inform him that the resultant publicity may
have a negative impact on his chances for running for reelection, and that you
may have to sue him in his personal capacity for money damages due to his
Dereliction of Duty, Defalcation, Embezzlement of Public Funds, and damage
due to his injury to you and/or your property rights.

10. Send the Sheriff certified mail a "Notice and Demand For Production or
Exhibition Without Dishonor" of the Law or statute that authorizes him to:

a) perform "selective enforcement" of the Law;

b) accept the People’s pay and not execute on lawful Warrants;

 c) personally edit and censor documents, or refuse to perform his
duty under his sworn oath.

11. If either the Sheriff or the Recorder of Deeds says that they take their
"orders" from some government lawyer, get that in writing. After, and only
after, you have the above "Admission and Confession" in writing, leave their
office. Then perform the previous certified mail step and add item:

d) provide the Statute or Law passed by the Legislature that

authorizes them to relinquish their office over to another (whoever
— regardless of whether they’re government attorneys or not) while
continuing to accept and negotiate (cash) their pay check after
having turned over their office to said "other."

Once the clerks, sheriffs, etc. realize their potential liability, it is likely that they will do
their duty long before you get to step 11.
Here’s an alternative analysis, which may have a better practical success rate in
accomplishing your goal of getting various documents recorded as a matter of public
record, in good faith:
In some counties among the thousands of counties in the U.S., you may find recalcitrant
clerks who will refuse to file your properly-executed documents. While such clerks are
violating their sworn public duty to record and make a matter of public record your
properly-executed documents, as a practical matter suing a recalcitrant country clerk
usually will be less effective than various alternatives. Your best bet is probably: (1) Be
low profile in recording any properly-executed, good-faith documents. Don’t
particularly discuss the contents of the documents you’re filing with the clerk. You’re
not trying to hide anything — after all, you’re making a matter of public record various
statements you are affirming the truth of, in good faith. But attracting undue attention
may impede the progress of anything you may wish to make a matter of public record.
(2) If you do run into a recalcitrant clerk who doesn’t like what you’re doing, simply try
another county, or try the same county on a different occasion. This fits very well with
our strategy of "creating your own creative alternatives" when confronted with certain
bureaucratic obstacles. If you try another county, remember that for some types of
documents there may be a requirement that property that’s a "subject" of the documents
may have to be located in the county of recording. (3) You could as a different
alternative try using appropriate media publications to make your documents a matter of
public record (by "publishing the document"). You’ll need to research the particulars of
how to do this in your area, if you use this option. But finding a county clerk that does
their job routinely and properly is probably lower-profile.
Abuse of Judicial Power
There have been cases reported of judges who have threatened to jail lienors for
"contempt of court" if they do not "voluntarily" lift their liens. In two cases, the judges
actually carried out their threat. Such legal coercion on their part is almost certainly
unlawful. Nonetheless, some judges will use that tactic, if they think the lienor is
vulnerable. To deal with this problem, it is helpful to remember the following:
1. The only reason the judge is making that threat is because he has no lawful means of
extinguishing the lien. It is a move of fear and desperation.

2. Assess your own vulnerability. Will a few days in jail seriously affect your
life? If not, you have some psychological leverage. Otherwise, the judge has a
lever over you.

3. If your lien does end up in court, you may want to have a lawyer or a
talented pro se with you, so that somebody can file an effective writ of habeas
corpus, if necessary. Also, you may wish to learn how to effectively defend
yourself against contempt charges.

4. If the judge actually does imprison you on a bogus contempt charge, he

becomes personally liable for civil damages under Title 42 USC §1983 (or
state equivalent), criminal sanctions, and a commercial lien. The judge is
taking a risk by violating your rights. He is probably hoping that you don’t
know how to pursue an effective legal remedy. In many ways, this is a game
of "chicken."

Chapter 7 - The Coloring Agreement Approach

Background
Many libertarian and patriot pro se litigants have had their Constitutional arguments
rejected by a Federal judge, with the words "We won’t have that document in this
courtroom; this is an Admiralty court, not a court of law!" Don Smith, a pro se
"attorney-in-fact," has devised an approach that may get around this problem. He calls it
"The Coloring Agreement." The idea is to make the Constitution and the Bill of Rights
colorable law in Admiralty jurisdiction. In this way, the Constitution and the Bill of
Rights are simply contractual provisions that can be enforced in an Admiralty court.
This is a kind of "Chinese box" approach to the Constitution, whereby:
 ​ he Constitution encompasses Admiralty jurisdiction, and
T
​Admiralty jurisdiction encompasses the Uniform Commercial Code, and
​The U.C.C. encompasses contracts, including the "coloring agreement" and
​The "coloring agreement" encompasses the Constitution, once again!
Instructions
If a Federal, state or local official violates your rights (or credibly threatens to do so),
take the Coloring Agreement (Appendix B.5), substitute your name and the name of the
government official in question, and be sure to substitute all references to Arizona law
with those of your own state or locality. If the presentee is a Federal official, you may
choose to omit the references to state law.
Present the Coloring Agreement to the official in question, either in person or by
certified mail. If the official is under oath to defend the Constitution of the United States
(or the state in question), (s)he is bound by the agreement, whether or not (s)he accepts it
or dishonors it. Present the agreement up to three times. If it is returned (dishonored)
each time, then you may sue to compel him/her to accept it, based upon the oath of
office.
Don Smith expands upon the theory as follows: "The object is to create a civil contract
(not tort) liability for the government agent for violating your constitutional rights,
which rights are probably not part of the agreement that you signed, and is the reason the
government agent is bothering you in the first place. This will likely have a chilling
effect on the agent’s activities toward you; i.e., you will probably not hear from him
again . . .
"For any violation, simply file contract (not tort) action to recover the amount specified
in the Coloring Agreement’s schedule. If the violator is a Federal sworn employee, sue
in U.S. Court of Federal Claims, 717 Madison Pl N.W., Washington, D.C. . . .
"When The Beast invades [your] rights thereafter, your suit is in CONTRACT instead of
equity. If IRS is involved, this moves the case into the Court of Claims, if over $10,000,
sounding in admiralty-instance. Under $10,000, the District Court sits as a Court of
Claims to enforce the contract dispute if a federal defendant, and if the case sounds in
admiralty-instance . . . You WANT TO BE IN ADMIRALTY, not equity, since you don’t
have any ‘squish’ in the decision of the court. The same can be done in state court,
sounding in admiralty-instance. You need only characterize your pleading as a complaint
in the way of libel. Libels may be used for judgments as well as prize. You want strict
enforcement of the contract. You don’t want equity civil rights enforcement . . .
"If the government employee/official ignores the Coloring Agreement and proceeds to
violate the rights you have established by contract, you may file a Commercial Lien
against him . . . " [for a sample lien see Appendix B.8].
Smith points out that this approach only creates an agreement between you and the
specific government official involved. He also states that it will only work if the official
has sworn an oath of office; otherwise the official will simply dishonor the agreement.
However, if the official is not under an oath of office, this can still have a chilling effect.
Imagine an official pleading, in court, to have the agreement set aside because he (the
official) has not sworn an oath of office! This creates many "embarrassing issues." For
example, if the official is not under oath, is he an impostor, acting in his own capacity?
If not, who does he really work for? Are all his official acts legally void? Should all
prisoners prosecuted by him/her be released from prison? Rather than open up such a
"can of worms," the "oathless" official is much more likely to drop matters and leave
you alone.

THAT’S CONTEMPTIBLE
Precisely because the commercial lien is so powerful, that even judges cannot remove it,
you may run into a particularly cantankerous, abusive, tyrannical old judge who can’t
stand the idea that his powers might not be irresistibly god-like. If you encounter one of
these megalomaniacs, he may decide to exceed his lawful power and jail you for
contempt of court (for insisting on your lawful rights). Since he cannot declare the lien
illegal or invalid, charging you with contempt of court is probably his only recourse —
his last resort . . .
So as you already know, you can be absolutely right in your application of the law, and
still wind up in the slammer. Therefore, before you start "liening on" government
officials, you’d best learn how to defend yourself against contempt citations.
The various lien strategies are not toys for playful pro se’s. These strategies appear to be
so powerful, so threatening to the "bad guys," that you can bet that they will respond
forcefully and exploit whatever powers they have, lawful or otherwise, to defeat these
liens. So be careful.
IT TAKES MORE THAN BRAINS
Judges routinely abuse their authority and get away with it, so what’s to stop ’em from
abusing their authority in any case involving commercial liens?
You. Your courage. Your commitment. Brains and knowledge are not enough. It also
takes guts.
Only you can stop the judicial abuse. And, initially, it’ll be tough. There will be some
casualties. But what it boils down to is this:
1) This is a Civil Rights struggle. It’s political. That means lots of people. Therefore,
you can’t go after the system or its henchmen by yourself — you must work with others
who are in a position to support you in court, in the media, and, if necessary, in jail.
2) Initially, a few folks who file commercial liens will have to be willing to "pay the
price" of going to jail in order to draw media attention to the judicial abuse and to the
original crimes that precipitated the particular commercial lien. (If that thought is
distressing, realize that from the point of view of the "other side" it will be necessary for
a few judges to risk being sued, impeached, even jailed in order to "scare" us out of
filing liens; i.e., unknown to most of us, the judges are also in jeopardy.)
3) A judicial t hreat is not the same as a judicial act. Threatening to jail you is not likely
to create a "cause of action" since you have not been "damaged." Without the "damage"
of false imprisonment, you can’t sue/lien the judge himself. So the judge is more
interested in threatening (bluffing) you into compliance than in actually jailing you since
your incarceration may expose the judge himself to personal liability.
4) Just as judges will try to scare us off with threats of contempt, we must try to scare
the judges with "threats" of public exposure, and even civil and criminal charges filed
against the judges. The "law" is not the only issue. This is also a test of will and nerve.
He’s got to know that you won’t quit. . . .
You’ve got to realize that the "practice of law" involves a great deal more than just
"law." It involves psychological warfare, guile, bluff, and the ability to "read" your
adversary. Remember, despite what you might be led to believe by the movies, court
cases are not scholarly "debates" so much as contests, even street fights. Knowing the
law is just the beginning. You’ve also got to be able to "know your opponent" and, also,
to keep your opponent from "knowing" you. . . .
It’s not enough to have the words. You’ve got to have the guts enough to stand behind
them, knowing that you might not win, knowing that you might even suffer a serious
punishment for saying the words. If the judge smells fear, he can slap you around even if
you’re right. If he smells courage and conviction sufficient to cause him personal
liability, he will be reluctant to mistreat you even if you are wrong.
This is not just law, it’s politics. And more than politics, it’s a fight. A fight. Do you
understand? Complete with black eyes and bloody noses, and sometimes even worse.
But it’s a fair fight, because, as bad as those judges may be, they are human and they
know they are outnumbered thousands to one. The judge can hurt you if you stand alone,
but if you stand with others, you can hurt the judge.
In the final analysis, the issue will be settled as an act of will and courage. It will be won
by the side that refuses to lose.
A "SILVER BULLET RIFLE"
"Patriot" and "pro se" publications . . . routinely present new strategies which purport to
overcome the various forms of institutionalized injustice in the American legal system.
Often, these new strategies are implicitly "guaranteed" to work first-time-every-time to
quickly defeat injustice and achieve results most people would regard as impossible.
These "can’t lose" strategies are generally known as "Silver Bullets." Adherents of these
Silver Bullet strategies often embrace and espouse them with a religious fervor, so sure
that they are absolutely right, they tolerate no deviation from their "ultimate truth."
Critics, however, remind us that the term "Silver Bullets" is derived from the "can’t
miss" accuracy of the Lone Ranger and the mystical effect of "silver bullets" on
werewolves and other creatures of the night (like lawyers, judges and IRS agents). These
critics contend that today’s Silver Bullets are every bit as fictitious as their forebears,
and to believe in any of them is equally naive or perhaps even delusional.
The critics may be right. Perhaps there are no Silver Bullets to stop injustice. After all,
our laws and courts are so capricious and complex, that every search for Justice has
become a kind of crap-shoot in which anything is possible and nothing can be precisely
predicted or relied upon.
So do Silver Bullets really exist?
I think they do.
I believe in Silver Bullets because ultimately, I believe in rule by law rather than rule by
men, and so I must believe in the LAW and its essence — Silver Bullets. After all, in the
final analysis, Silver Bullets are nothing more than quintessential, irrefutable, unbeatable
principles and applications of LAW. . . .
So, having confessed my belief in Silver Bullets, do I claim to sell ’em in publications
like this [AntiShyster]? Can you depend on every article, on every opinion, on every
word we publish to be accurate, irrefutable, and "guaranteed" to give you victory every
time?
Absolutely not.
Can you depend on any of the theories and strategies presented in this publication to
qualify as Silver Bullets?
Maybe.
Sometimes.
Actually, it depends . . .
Depends on what?
Depends on you.
To continue the Silver Bullet analogy, answer this: Do you think you can throw a Silver
Bullet with enough arm speed and accuracy to pierce the heart of a charging werewolf?
Of course not.
See my point?
Armed with Silver Bullets and a proper rifle, you can kill werewolves. But without a
rifle, Silver Bullets are no better than a handful of pebbles. Without the proper rifle, all
you can do is fling bullets at the werewolf, and that’ll only make the mutt mad.
So, where can you buy a "rifle" that shoots Silver Bullets?
Sorry, you can’t buy one. But you can make your own.
And where can you make such a "rifle"?
In a quiet room, a library, or a church. Sometimes on an athletic field, in a war, or
hospital emergency room.
Does this "Silver Bullet Rifle" analogy confuse you? Well, it’s just a riddle to try to
make my point: You see, you are the "Rifle."
Just as you can’t shoot a .22 caliber bullet without a .22 caliber rifle, you can’t fire a
Silver Bullet without a "Silver Bullet Rifle."
To successfully aim and fire a Silver Bullet, you must become a "Silver Bullet Rifle."
You must be "machined" to achieve the proper caliber and barrel strength to withstand
the explosion. You must have your "sights" aligned with solid judgment to reliably strike
your target. And, perhaps most importantly, you must have or create enough personal
courage to pull the trigger.
To fire Silver Bullets, you need more than information, you need understanding —
which only you can provide. And more than understanding, you need determination,
persistence and courage — in other words, you must have the personal character
necessary to "shoot werewolves."
So who will "machine" you into a "rifle" of the proper strength and caliber to fire Silver
Bullets? The answer’s obvious. It’s a do-it-yourself project and you’re it.
And how will you "machine yourself" into a Silver Bullet Rifle? The answer is beyond
the scope of this publication. Suffice it to say that each of us will use a different method
to discover or create our own courage, morality and character. But know that you can’t
fire Silver Bullets accurately until you first make yourself into someone with a long-term
commitment to Justice rather than a short-term appetite for a quick personal advantage.
Remember, Silver Bullets are not magic incantations. Some folks use Silver Bullets with
great success; others use the very same words and forms but fail. It’s not enough to
merely say the words or fill out the form. You must understand what you are doing.
Silver Bullets are merely instructions, procedures and directions which tell you how
someone else killed their particular werewolf. Silver Bullets provide only information.
You must provide the understanding, courage and character necessary to apply the
information correctly. . . .
Don’t depend on mere words and forms; don’t depend on luck. Don’t depend on Silver
Bullets. Depend on you. Depend on your perseverance, your understanding, and your
determination to seek Justice rather than unearned wealth or revenge.
So. Are the theories and strategies in this publication Silver Bullets? Maybe. Will they
save your house or your car? Will they save your money, your job, your business, or
your family?
Sometimes, yes.
Sometimes, no.
But even if you lose, your efforts won’t go unrewarded. In the end, the search for Silver
Bullets may create something unexpected and more valuable than property or even
relationships: it may create a human "Rifle" — a moral being endowed with
understanding, courage and character. Believe it or not, the continuing study of Law (not
procedure, which the lawyers revere) will lead you to the concept of Justice, then to
morality, on to religion, and finally, perhaps, even to God.
So good luck to you, ladies and gentlemen. You have begun a long journey and a
challenging hunt. You may have started by looking for Silver Bullets, but you may end
by finding, even creating, a person of real value — yourself.
Editor’s comment: For most worthwhile things, you must expand your personal power.
We at Terra Libra don’t generally figure there are "Silver Bullet" solutions that will work
all the time. But Mr. Adask’s comments are an excellent exposition of some of the
thinking skills required for success in any use you might make of this manual, and for
success in general. The conduit (rifle) is you! You are the one who needs to individually
determine (in good faith of course) what statutes apply to you. You are the one who
needs to apply information in a manner that applies to you in that particular situation. It
is then, and only then, that you have knowledge about that subject.

and under pretense and colors of Office, Laws, and Title, are hereby given Notice of
ownership of real and personal property stolen, embezzled, converted and/or purloined,

issuance of 2 or more WRITS OF ASSISTANCE, and/or "Warrant For Entry On
Premises To Effect Levy" issued by you on April 1, 1992, in Civil Action
No.1:92:M-433 (see Exhibits 1, 2, and 3 attached hereto). The same was effected by out

agents of your Foreign Principals and Organizations, including, but not limited to,
T[erri] Perrine, Revenue Officer; Ken W. Ross, Revenue Officer; and others whose
names are not known to me at this time.
You and/or your officers, employees, deputies, assistants, representatives, receivers,
servants and/or agents, have illegally and unlawfully seized, stolen, retained and are
believed still to be in unlawful possession, custody, and/or control of approximately 400
[four hundred] "Dollars," "Silver," and 5 [five] "Dollars," "Gold," minted by the United
States Mint[s], belonging to the undersigned Charles Ronald Gray, which was in safe
keeping in the safe, display cases, and office desk, located at 418 Woodward Avenue,
Atlanta, Georgia, in the County of Fulton, within the territorial jurisdiction of the
Republic of Georgia. You and Your Foreign Principals, Organizations, and Agents have
been forbidden from Lending, Loaning, or Borrowing on the Security of the above stated
Lawful, Constitutional Gold and Silver Coins, Pursuant to Act of Congress, inter alia,
18 U.S.C.S. 337, Public law 90-269; 82 Stat. 50, and Public Law 95-147, 91 Stat. 1227,

of necessary operation of law. (See Exhibits C-2, C-3, entered into the docket of the
Court).
You and your Officers, Employees, Agents and Representatives are "Agents Of A
Foreign Principal" pursuant to 22 U.S.C.S. 611, and are directed, controlled, financed,
subsidized and/or compensated for aiding, abetting, counseling, commanding,
representing, and procuring the gathering of information, soliciting, collecting,
disbursing, dispensing contributions, loans, money, currency, or other things of value for,
or in interest of "The United Nations," whose seat of government is in New York City,
New York (22 U.S.C.S. 287, 61 Stat. 3416), "The Association" (22 U.S.C.S. 284 et seq.),
"The Bank" and "The Fund" (22 U.S.C.S. 286 et seq.), and their subsidiary artificial
beings pursuant to Public Law 94-564, Public Law 86-147, Public Law 89-369, Public
Law 93-83, 87 Stat. 197, et cetera. (See also: 22 U.S.C.S. 263(a); 22 U.S.C.S. 285(g);
22 U.S.C.S. 287(j); 26 U.S.C.S. 6103(k)(4); Executive Order 10033.)
The Internal Revenue Service Agents, et al, are in fact engaged in inter-agency,
international stipulations, agreements and commerce with "The Association" and/or the
"International Bank for Reconstruction And Development," and its many-faceted
subsidiary, artificial beings, pursuant to "Treasury Delegation Order No. 91 (Rev. 1),"
and "Service Agreements described in paragraph IV, of the General Agreement between
the Treasury Department and the Agency for International Development, dated February
14, 1966" (Bretton Woods Agreement; 22 U.S.C.S. 284 et seq.). The character of "The
Association," "The Bank," "The Fund," and the Governor of the Fund a/k/a Secretary of
the Treasury (See: 22 U.S.C.S. 286(a)), his associates, delegates, officers, employees,
representatives, servants, and/or agents, being the real parties in interest, were and are
now subject to Article III, Section 2, Clauses 1 and 2, as a matter of supreme Law,
and/or Act of Congress, 22 U.S.C.S. 286(g). Your acts and/or authorization of acts
committed by said Officers, Employees, Delegates, Associates, Representatives,
Deputies, Receivers and/or Agents, et cetera, are administrative acts, done under color
of a Magistrate/Commissioner (See: U.S. v. Ferreira, 13 How. (54 U.S.) 40, 14 L.Ed. 42;
Murray’s Lessee et al. v. Hoboken Land & Improvement Co., 18 How. (59 U.S.) 272, 15
L. Ed. 372) and under Letters of Marque issued on behalf of YOUR Foreign Principal
and its artificial Organizations, and clearly in excess of the express and conditional,
delegated and vested Powers and Authority, as established by the Ordained Constitution
for the Union of several States of the United States of America.
I, Charles Ronald Gray, RIGHTFULLY DEMAND immediate return of the above stated
sum of approximately 400 [four hundred] "Dollars," "Silver," and 5 [five] "Dollars,"
"Gold," minted by the United States Mint(s), i.e. Money, pursuant to 18 U.S.C.S. 645,

of the Declaration of Independence; the Ordained Constitution for the united States of
America (1787), Article I Section 10, Clause l; Act of Congress, coded Title 31 U.S.C.S.
314, 321, 5112; Public Law 93-110, Article IV, Section 2; and Amendments I, IV, V, VI,
IX, and X, and that the same said property be returned to my personal care, custody,
possession and control, at the address given above from which it was taken, seized,
stolen and confiscated, within ten (10) days of receipt of this Notice and Demand.
Further, due to the residency and collateral fact that You and/or your Foreign Principals,
Organizations, Associations, Officers, Employees, Representatives, Servants, or other
Individuals acting under their direction and control, are incapable of maintaining the
integrity of the de jure, Lawful, Constitutional Monetary System of the de jure Union of
several Republican States of the United States of America, and are not heirs in Law or
by birthright, i.e. Posterity, and have caused grievous harm, damage and injury under
pretense and colors, and are in breach of numerous legal duties imposed upon our Public
Offices, and you, by Law are barred, estopped and precluded under the "Clean Hands
doctrine," and "Public Policy," from making any claim or right, title, or interest thereon.

This action is taken in accordance with the California Penal Code Section 9 which
states:
CIVIL REMEDIES; PRESERVATION: The omission to specify or affirm in this Code
any liability to damages, penalty, forfeiture, or other remedy imposed by law and
allowed to be recovered or enforced in any civil action or proceeding, for any act or
omission declared punishable herein, does not affect any right to recover or enforce the
same.
I, [name], the Undersigned, ***[by any special conditions of standing, i.e. a trustee of a
trust] do solemnly swear, declare, and depose:
1. THAT I am competent to state to the matters set forth herein.

2. THAT I have personal knowledge of the facts stated herein.

3. THAT all the facts stated herein are true, correct, and certain, admissible as
evidence, and if called upon as a witness, I will testify to their veracity.

4. THAT the eternal, unchanged principles of Commercial Law are:

a) A workman is worthy of his hire. (thou shalt not steal)

b) All are equal under the law. (no one is above the law)
c) In Commerce, truth is sovereign. (thou shalt not bear false
witness)
d) Truth is expressed in the form of an affidavit.
e) An unrebutted affidavit stands as truth in Commerce.
f) An unrebutted affidavit becomes the judgment in Commerce.
 g) All matters must be expressed to be resolved.
h) He who leaves the battlefield first loses by default.
i) Sacrifice is the measure of credibility (no willingness to sacrifice
= no liability, responsibility, authority or measure of conviction)
j) A lien or claim can be satisfied only through an affidavit by a
point-for-point rebuttal, resolution by jury or payment.

5. THAT Commercial processes (including this Affidavit and the required

responses to it) ARE NON-JUDICIAL and pre-judicial because:

a) No judge, court, government or any agencies thereof, or any other

third parties whatsoever, can abrogate anyone’s affidavit of truth;
and
b) Only a party affected by an affidavit can speak and act for
himself and is solely responsible for responding with his own
affidavit of truth, which no one else can do for him.

6. THAT the lawful seizure, collection, and transfer of ownership of money or

property must be effected by a valid Commercial Lien which must contain
certain elements in order to be Commercially valid, to wit:

a) The lien instrument must obviously, patently, and evidently be a

LIEN by being clearly and explicitly titled "LIEN," "CLAIM OF
LIEN," or "DECLARATION OF LIEN," and mandatorily, by its
exhaustive Commercial content (full disclosure) as follows in b), c)
and d);
b) The lien instrument MUST CONTAIN a notarized hand-signed
affidavit, for which the issuer is commercially liable, containing a
plain statement of fact disclosing how the obligation of the lien was
created, attesting that the commercial condition is true, correct, and
certain;
c) The lien instrument MUST CONTAIN a ledger or bookkeeping
statement connecting purchases, services rendered, and/or injuries
sustained, with a claim of obligation such that each purchase,
service, and/or injury is presented in a one-to-one correspondence
with its partial claim of obligation. The partial obligations are then
totalled to obtain the total obligation. This is called a "True Bill in
Commerce."
d) The lien instrument MUST CONTAIN a statement, either
specific or general, of the property being seized from the lien debtor
to satisfy, or to guarantee satisfaction of, the obligation of the lien.
e) A NOTICE OF LIEN to be valid MUST CONTAIN a clear
 statement as to where the lien is filed, where it can be found and
how a copy can be obtained.

7. THAT I am not the creation or chattel property of any person or any

government agency whatsoever. I am not under any obligation whatsoever to
any governmental agency, state or federal, or any of their self-passed laws,
statutes, regulations or policies.

8. THAT any and all of the various papers, documents, adhesion contracts, or
"agreements" I may have signed with any government agency or entity or any
others that might be construed to indicate a conclusion contrary to my
herein-below assertions were made, signed by me on the basis of mistake due
to lack of full disclosure creating a deliberate lack of full knowledge, a
deliberate action of fraud, non-disclosure, concealment of material fact, and
misrepresentation. Such action thereby creates a stressful situation of duress
and intimidation, vitiating all documents by such action of fraud.

9. THAT it is the sincerest belief, religious and spiritual conviction of this

Affiant that slavery and peonage are immoral, are violations of the First
Precept of Commercial Law (a workman is worthy of his hire, "Thou shalt not
steal"), that fraud, misrepresentation, nondisclosure, intimidation, deceit,
concealment of material fact, lying, and treachery are morally wrong.

10. THAT I have absolutely no desire whatsoever to be a "client" (slave) of

any governmental agency, state or federal, or any of their Principals, or the
"United States," or to incur any debts or obligations to said entities for
whatever "benefits" said entities might purpose to provide or seek to provide
to this Affiant, or be directed by, subject to, or accountable to any parties other
than my own conscience and best judgement for the purpose of preserving
inviolate my unalienable/inalienable rights to life, liberty, freedom and
property while engaging in the honorable, productive, and non-harmful
activities of my life.

11. THAT I, [name], am the sole and absolute owner of myself, my body, and
my estate, and possess unconditional, allodial, sovereign title thereto, and that
I abjure, renounce, forsake, and disavow utterly and absolutely now and
forever all presumptions of power, authority, or right by any governmental
agency, its Principals, over the rights, life, liberty, freedom or property of this
Affiant from whatever source presumed or derived.
 12. THAT NO COMMERCIAL PAPERWORK or COMMERCIAL
AFFIDAVITS have been furnished or supplied to me, [Name], by [parties] or
any others that created the so-called liability.

[*** AFFIDAVIT INSERTS modeled. BE SURE TO RENUMBER]

{plus any other points that may have to be added to clearly state a claim of abuses
relative to your case. BE SURE TO RENUMBER FOLLOWING POINTS}
15. THAT I, [name], the Undersigned, herewith and herein demand of ALL PARTIES
involved in anyway in this so-called cause of action, who attempt or continue to proceed
against me or my properties in the instant cause of action in any way, furnish answers to
the following:

a) Where is the real and true Commercial Paperwork bearing on this

instant matter that made me liable?
b) Where are the real, true, proper and lawful assessments bearing
on this instant matter that I am said to be liable?
c) Where is the itemized statement, ledger and accounting for
services rendered with respect to this instant matter?
d) What or who are the Parties engaging in fair business practices in
the instant matter?
e) Where is the full disclosure bearing on all matters pertaining to
this instant matter?
f) Where is the clean hands?
g) Where is the good faith action?
h) Where are the truth, mercy, grace, and all similar just and
virtuous qualities and proceedings based on them that are supposed
to inhere in commerce and the Uniform Commercial Code?

16. THAT all parties who act against this Affiant on their alleged basis must
produce the Commercial Affidavits of TRUTH, sworn by the claimants to be
"true, correct, and complete (certain)," which prove the origin and foundation
of their claims and include providing the contract(s) or agreement(s) with the
signature of this Affiant thereon wherein this Affiant has knowingly,
intentionally, and voluntarily, in full legal and lawful capacity, agreed to waive
or surrender rights to the IRS, its Principals, or the "United States," or agreed
to become subject to or the slave or property of said entities in any way or in
any jurisdiction whatsoever.
17. In order for a crime to exist, four elements must exist; there must be a
defined crime, there must be a victim, that the victim must have been
damaged, and the intent must be established on the part of the accused.
Without proof of all four elements, no crime can said to have been committed.
In this Affidavit, crimes are defined, the Affiant is the victim, this Affidavit
verifies the damages, and the intent is established at the end of the thirty (30)
day grace period, if the respondents fail to rebut (respond to) the wrongs they
have been a party to as noted herein.

18. NOTICE is hereby given, and demands made, on all Claimants —

[parties], [other Officials, Attorneys, Judges], and any other involved Parties,
that:

a) ALL properties taken unlawfully, removed in violation of

commerce, or otherwise converted, sold, or seized by [any
party(ies), name them], or other Parties in collusion therewith, be
immediately returned IN FULL VALUE ($ ) PLUS 10% to [name],
the Undersigned Affiant, justly possessing the lawful and legal title
thereto; OR
b) All Parties who proceed to act or assist in said actions, against
this Affiant, [name], without thorough, verifiable, point-by-point
rebuttal of each and every point set forth in this Affidavit shall be
immediately charged with criminal fraud, theft, conspiracy of
extortion, theft and fraud, and commercial liens shall be placed
against all their real and personal properties (defined crimes:
California Penal Code Section 182 criminal conspiracy, 211
robbery, United States Criminal Code Title 18 Section 4 misprision
of felony, 241 conspiracy against the rights of citizens, 872
extortion, 1001 fraud and false statements, and other such crimes as
are related to issues of RACKETEERING 18 USC 1961, plus such
Constitutional violations not listed in the Criminal Codes combined
and described simply as TREASON); and
c) All court costs and legal fees relating to this instant case shall be
paid by those who have drawn the undersigned Affiant [name] into
this instant matter; AND

19. THAT failure to respond as herein required to this Affiant, within the
herein a prescribed time of thirty (30) days will be deemed by this Affiant to
invoke the doctrine of acquiescence and admission, to recover, in commerce,
the lost or damaged properties plus damages, penalties and costs. (California
Civil Code § 3281)
 20. THAT in light of the foregoing declarations, all alleged contracts and
agreements between this Affiant, [name], and the IRS, its Principals, or the
"United States" are unconscionable and baseless. I herein, hereby and
herewith revoke, disavow, and renounce my signature on any and all
documents, instruments, or forms I may have ever signed with the IRS, its
Principals, or the "United States," or any other parties or entities whatsoever
that might purport to have furnished any contractual agreement or nexus
between myself and the IRS, its Principals, or the "United States."

21. THAT this Commercial Affidavit, Notice and Warning of Commercial

Grace, is the ONE AND ONLY such Notice and Warning. If all IRS
"assessments" and collection actions against me on their basis are not abated
within thirty (30) days, or if at any time in the future any IRS "assessments"
and collection actions based thereon are reinstituted against me, it shall be
considered a willful disregard for this Notice and Warning, and such shall
engender the immediate filing of Criminal Complaints (Affidavits of
Information) and Commercial Liens (Affidavits of Obligation) against all
parties involved.

22. THAT the foundation of Commercial Law, being based on certain

eternally just, valid, and moral precepts, has remained unchanged for at least
six (6) millennia. Said Commercial Law forms the underpinnings of Western
Civilization if not all Nations, Law, and Commerce in the world, is
NON-JUDICIAL, and is prior and superior to, the basis of, and cannot be set
aside or overruled by, the laws and statutes of any governments, legislatures,
quasi-governmental agencies, or courts. It is therefore an inherent obligation
on all Authorities, Officials, Governments, Legislatures, Governmental or
Quasi-governmental Agencies, Courts, Judges, Attorneys, and all aspects and
Agents of all Law Enforcement Agencies to uphold said Commercial Law,
without which said entities are violating the just basis of their alleged
authority and serving to disintegrate the society they allegedly exist to protect.

CONTRACT OF LIABILITY FOR ALLEGATIONS

23. THAT if the Undersigned failed to rebut such claims or charges, the Respondent
would immediately declare a default against the Undersigned and proceed to collect on
the claims made as being in agreement with said claims or charges. The Respondents
having made the claim or charge against the Undersigned, thereby creating an implied
contract, the Undersigned having rebutted said claim or charge demanding proof of said
implied contract, a true binding contract was thereby created.

24. THAT the Respondents’ attacks on the commercial or private liability of

the Undersigned Affiant, and this Affidavit or response/rebuttal to said claims
 or charges, created the mutually voluntary, consensual, commercial, private
contract by and between the Undersigned and Respondents. Failure of
Respondents to prove their claims or charges against the Undersigned within
thirty (30) days (or in the alternative cease all collection or enforcement
actions against the Undersigned) shall constitute deliberate criminal actions
and willful breach of and default on a bilateral contract (Affidavit of
Agreement) formed knowingly, intentionally, and voluntarily by and between
the Undersigned and the Respondents.

25. THAT I, [name], the Undersigned Affiant, depose and certify that I have
written the foregoing with intent and understanding of purpose, and believe
the statements, allegations, demands and contents herein to be true, correct,
and complete, commercially reasonable, and just, to the best of my knowledge
and belief.

CONTAINING THE PHRASE "A SECURITY — 15 USC"
This EXPLANATION SHEET is to be attached to all Commercial Affidavits, including
Affidavits of Obligation (Commercial Liens), which are non-judicial consensual
processes which arise out of a breach of special performance (e.g., for public officials’
breach of oath of office, a violation of the Constitution for the United States of America
and respective state Constitutions.)
The notice as follows below is included for the purposes of FULL DISCLOSURE
(UCC), and as a warning noted by the flag for commercial grace at the top of the
instrument.

APPENDIX A
The Lien Claimant does NOT rely on Title 15 as a basis for the "Commercial Lien."
ALL Commercial processes, by using or relying on notes or paper in Commerce (e.g.
Federal Reserve Notes), must bear some sort of Federal tracking code, a County
Recorder’s number or a serial number, which process must be accessible for inspection
at the nearest relevant County Recorder’s Office or be widely advertised. When a Lien
matures in three (3) months, ninety (90) days, by default of the Lien Debtor through the
Lien Debtors failure to rebut the AFFIDAVIT OF OBLIGATION point-for-point
categorically, it becomes an accounts receivable in the ordinary sense of a collectable
debt upon which assignments, collateralization, and other commercial transactions can
be based, hence becomes a Security subject to observation, tracking, and regulation by
the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (hereinafter U.S. S.E.C.).
The notation "A Security — 15 USC" is a flag in Commerce telling the U.S. S.E.C. that
a speculation account is being established to enforce a lien. The U.S. S.E.C. can then
monitor the process. As long as the process is truthful, open, and above-board (Full
disclosure), the U.S. S.E.C. has no jurisdiction over it, for even the U.S. S.E.C. has no
jurisdiction over the truth of testimony, depositions, affidavits, and affidavits of
obligation (Commercial Liens), and an unrebutted affidavit stands as the truth in
Commerce.
Legal Authority: Universal moral/existential truths/principles, expressed in Judaic
(Mosaic) Orthodox Hebrew/Jewish Commercial Code, corollary to Exodus (chiefly
Exodus 20:15, 16). This is the best known Commercial process in America.
When an Affidavit is so flagged in Commerce, it becomes a Federal Document because
it could become translated into a Security (for example by being attached in support of a
Commercial Lien), and not accepting and/or filing a Commercial Affidavit becomes a
Federal offense.

THIS COMPLAINT AND AFFIDAVIT OF INFORMATION DOES NOT ARISE

FROM THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ANY PREVIOUS DISPUTES.

AFFIDAVIT OF INFORMATION
in support of a
CRIMINAL COMPLAINT
I, [name], the Complainant Affiant in the instant matter, am reporting, by AFFIDAVIT,
to this Court and the United States Attorney, believed to be the compentent authorities to
which knowledge of criminal actions should be reported. This Affidavit is filed pursuant
to 18 United States Code Section 4 (18 USC 4), the FEDERAL RULES OF CRIMINAL
PROCEDURE, RULE 3. Title 18 (18 USC) Section 4 states:
"Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court
of the United States, conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to
some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States, shall be
fined not more than $500 or imprisoned not more than three years, or both."
Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure Rule 3 states:
"The complaint is a written statment of the essential facts constituting the offense
charged. It shall be made upon oath before a magistrate."
I, [name], the Complainant Affiant in the instant matter, herein openly declare and
depose that the above named Respondents did knowingly and willfully act and conspire
to oppress, injure, and damage this Complainant Affiant as herein below set forth, and
by evidences set forth in the attached COMMERCIAL AFFIDAVIT sent to the
Respondents/Defendants to resolve the disputed issues outside this forum (a consensual
mutually entered into voluntary contract by and between Affiant and accused).
The Respondents were previously noticed and warned by the Affiant’s "COMMERCIAL
AFFIDAVIT, NOTICE OF NON-JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS, NOTICE AND
WARNING OF COMMERCIAL GRACE" (see Exhibit A), to which the Respondents
did not answer/rebut, or answered without addressing the demands made, (see Exhibits
..., [if any]). In said NOTICE AND WARNING the eternal principles of Commercial
Law, the underpinnings of all human law and civilization, were clearly and simply set
forth and explained (clarification of contractual terms). The above referenced
Respondent parties failed to avail themselves of the remedies and recourse under
Commercial Law to resolve the dispute(s) with this Complainant Affiant in a civil,
peaceful and honorable manner.
All of the Affidavits, Notices, and filings, of this Complainant Affiant have been issued
as the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, to the best of my experience,
knowledge and belief. The Affidavits I have issued were sworn to as TRUE, CORRECT,
and COMPLETE. Said Affidavits have never been formally rebutted by affidavits sworn
to as TRUE, CORRECT, and COMPLETE by the respective Respondent Parties.
By failing to respond to the Complainant Affiant, the Respondents are in contractual
default. The Respondents have admitted to and acquiesced to the crimes which the
Complainant Affiant complained about and sought to protect himself from further
abuses. Their continuing on with the wrongful actions against this Complainant, the
accused Respondents are acting in knowlegable and willful criminal assaults against the
Complainant and in knowledgable and willful breach of contract that they opened.
In order for a crime to exist, four elements must exist; first there must be a clearly
defined crime or criminal action; second, there must be a victim; third that the victim
must have been damaged or injured, and fourth, the criminal intent must be established
on the part of the accused. Without proof of all four elements no action can be
considered criminal.
In this matter, the Complainant Affiant is the victim, the Commercial Affidavit sets the
complained issues and this Criminal Complaint defines the crimes verifies the actual
damages, and the intent was established by proof that the Respondents/Defendants were
Noticed and Warned of their wrongs and what was required to right them. Their failing
to rebut the Affidavit or prove their own claims, the contractual requirement of this
Complainant Affiant’s Commercial Affidavit of Notice and Warning, the Respondents/
Defendants acted willfully against this Complainant Affiant.
The Complainant Affiant exercises his unalienable Sovereign Right against
[respondents], a legislative entity, and its officers for a redress of grievances (fraud,
extortion, theft, plus other noted wrongs) by this verified Criminal Complaint (California
Penal Code Sections 740, 806 and 948 et.seq.) pursuant the Commercial instrument of
the people known as the Constitution for the State of California, as stated in the
Preamble, Article I Sections 1, 3, 24; Article II Section 1; Article III Section 5, 6(d);
California Civil Code Section 4, 5, 22.2; California Penal Code Section 9; California
Government Code Section 100, 11120, and 54950 as a Sovereign and the parallel
sections of the Constitution for the United States, United States Codes Title 18, the
United State Criminal Code and the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.
Therefore, the Complainant Affiant, [name], sets forth to the candid community the
abuses of FELONY, HIGH CRIMES and MISDEMEANORS by the Respondents. The
above named Respondents, in the instant action have supported criminal actions by
willfully and knowingly:
— DENIED A RIGHT to due process of law. Such denials include but are not limited to
the right to work, the right to receive just reward of labors, denying access to the
multiple Constitutional rights and specifically acting against the Complainant Affiant
under a color of official right. It is a "taking action" denying the right to personal
property violative of the provisions of the state Constitutional provisions and under the
Fourth and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution for the United States.
The right of due process of law requires before any sort of judgment against an
individual, that he has had opportunity to defend himself of any accusation or claim, that
he has had an opportunity to state his case, he has had a proper and lawful judgement by
a jury of his peers, or by a knowledgeable waiver of the right to answer. The
[respondents] officials acted against that due process by acting in a criminal conspiracy
to defraud the Complainant Affiant of his property, giving such property to the [state
taxing authority] [and/or] the IRS, WITHOUT ANY KIND OF LAWFUL
JUDGEMENT, COMMERCIAL PAPERWORK, CONTRACTS OR PROOF OF
CLAIMS. [respondents] are/is therefore guilty of denying the COMPLAINANT
AFFIANT [name], every Constitutional protection afforded — an act of TREASON
(defined below), an act of a MIXED DOMESTIC WAR.
DOMESTIC MIXED WAR - A mixed war is one which is made on one side by public
authority, and the other by mere private persons. (Black’s Law Dictionary 5th Ed., page
1420). War does not exist merely because of an armed attack by military forces of
another nation until it is a condition recognized or accepted by political authority of
government which is attacked, either through an actual declaration of war or OTHER
ACTS DEMONSTRATING SUCH POSITION (emphasis added; Savage v. Sun Life
Assur Co. of Canada, D.C. 57 F Supp 620, 621).
— WAR is the disintegration of peace; Webster’s states "a state of hostility, conflict or
antagonism, a struggle between opposing forces," not necessarily open violent armed
confrontations, although a continued state of disrupted peace by any force could lead to
open armed conflict.
The defendants are hereby accused of the following crimes against, and violations of the
rights of the people of this [state] REPUBLIC. Such rights or obligations are secured,
preserved or defined by the Constitution to prevent such abuses by both employer and of
government officials by their oaths to support said Constitution (67 CJS, Officers,
Section 46, Oaths).
— MALFEASANCE OF OFFICE. By such wrongful action, these individuals have
acted with malfeasance of office in conspiracy with Agents of the [state taxing authority]
[and/or] [IRS], deliberately, knowingly and willfully violating said rights are guilty of
misconduct in office, whether public or private.
— SLAVERY. The civil relation in which one man has absolute power over the life,
fortune, and liberty of another. The Respondents have denied the right to "fortunes"
earned by the labors of the Affiant. The unlawful conversion of such property and giving
it to another without due process of law, forcing the Affiant to work for less than what
was lawfully and contractually agreed upon, breaching interpersonal contracts and
relationships, is criminal. The Respondents have absolutely refused to communicate in
GOOD FAITH with the Affiant. They have refused to disclose the lawful authority by
which they act, the contract in default or the damages which they claim created the
so-called liability. There is no judgment of any kind that they can produce showing any
liability. By such actions, these have destroyed the right to life, liberty and property by
such taking of personal property without due process of law, reducing the Affiant to the
condition of a slave. As such, these are in fact in violation of the State and Federal
Constitutions that abolished slavery.
— TREASON. Treason is defined as the assault against the authority to whom one owes
allegiance. It is one of three specific crimes named in the United States Constitution. It
requires that one commit an act of war against the Constitution, or giving aid and
comfort to an enemy. Such clearly defined actions by government officers and such
private officers who have privileged authority in commerce by the Constitution, in
specific connection to the above violation, malfeasance of office along with violating
their oath of office and in the related connected activities herein as listed below is
nothing short of TREASON, see DOMESTIC MIXED WAR above, and there is no
other term or set of terms that accurately define such activity. [respondents] have
willfully violated the basic fundamental principles this Country was founded on, and
therefore condoned the acts of TREASON by so-called governmental officials against
the Undersigned, making them liable for such acts of TREASON by refusing to stop
such actions against the Complainant Affiant [name], when they had the power and
authority to do so after being noticed (criminally under Title 18, Section 4; civilly under
Title 42, Section 1983, 1985, 1986).
In addition to and along with the above cited crimes, the Respondents acting in concert
with such so-called government officials to complete such acts as listed as follows:
— FRAUD. Permitting shown and demonstrated acts of fraud and actively participated
in a scheming conspiracy of untruths and misrepresentations to deceive those who
entrusted themselves in dealing in good faith, while specifically acting in deliberate bad
faith when such fraud was shown (Cal Penal Code Sec. 532; 18 USC 1001).
— EXTORTION. By such actions of Fraud, said Respondents under assumed (usurped)
official right and color of office to demand, without any real lawful or proper authority,
gave monies of the Complainant Affiant to the Internal Revenue Service and/or the
[state taxing authority] as foreign agents (explained below) by use of such
misrepresentations and untruths to steal monies under a color and cover of law to raise
revenue (Cal Penal Code Sec 518, 519; 18 USC 872, 873, 1951, 1962).
— GRAND THEFT. By such actions of fraud and extortion, the monies stolen, or
damages sustained by such actions totalled over $400 under a guise of taxes, fines and/or
penalties under a color of law for exercising one’s inalienable/unalienable rights (Cal
Penal Code Sec 487; 18 USC 641 {>$100}, 2112).
— ROBBERY. (Attempted robbery) Respondents, by such action of conspiracy under a
color of law and official right, used intimidation, threats, and fear by force of
imprisonment to extort revenues (Cal Penal Code Sec. 211; 18 USC 2112). [Note may
be added to action if applicable. This is further demonstrated by the act of firing [name]
for simply exposing the crimes being perpetrated against him within the Company.]
— FALSE DOCUMENTS. Accepting false documents that are known not to be true or
known to be false to falsely condemn the Complainant Affiant under a color of law
without benefit of a lawful trial, to raise revenue by stealing monies of the Complainant
Affiant and giving it directly to a foreign agent by such false condemnations (Cal Penal
Code Sec 134; 18 USC 1001).
— CONSPIRACY. A confederation of two or more individuals who may not know each
other but, by their joint efforts, commit some unlawful or criminal act (Black’s Law
Dictionary). Multiple officials, agents and other persons named properly noticed by the
attached COMMERCIAL AFFIDAVIT, and un-named who under a cover of official
right and appearance and color of law continued to perform such acts to continue to raise
revenue by fraud and extortion, for any so-called governmental function. (Cal Penal
Code Sec. 182, California Racketeering Act — Cal Penal Code Sec. 186; 18 USC 241,
Federal Racketeering Act, 18 USC 1961 et. seq.)
— RACKETEERING. Is the combination of the above identified crimes. Title 18 United
States Codes Section 1961 (RICO) defines it as involving a host of patterned criminal
actions that includes but not limited to an act or threat of murder, kidnapping, gambling,
arson, and as in the instant case robbery, bribery, extortion, fraud, slavery, etc.
The explanation of crimes above stem from other hidden crimes being forced upon the
people of this [state] REPUBLIC. Such crimes and this Affidavit of Information is filed
in the overall context of the Bankruptcy of the United States (i.e. District of Columbia,
as per jurisdiction set forth in the U.S. Constitution Article I, Section 8, clause 17 and 18
and Article IV Section 3 clause 2). The United States bankruptcy is a direct result of the
Federal Reserve Act of December 23, 1913, in which the delegated authority of
Congress to be responsible for the nation’s currency was illicitly, unconstitutionally, and
treasonously surrendered to the privately owned Federal Reserve Corporation (a foreign
agent), whose class A stockholders are various international banks. In place of real
money as legal tender (gold and silver coin U.S. Constitution Article I Section 10,
Coinage Act April 2, 1792), the Federal Reserve issued private commercial paper, drawn
on the credit of the United States, consisting of only bookkeeping entries of no substance
or reality, on which a real compound interest was charged. The U.S. Treasury paid the
ever-increasing interest in gold and was eventually depleted, with a higher debt than
ever. The planned inevitability occurred: BANKRUPTCY.
This bankruptcy was clearly reiterated on March 17, 1993 on the floor of the House of
Representatives by James Traficant, Jr. (Ohio) addressing the House. It is recorded in the
United States Congressional Record, Wednesday, March 17, 1993, Volume #33, page
H1303, should anyone doubt the claim. . . .
"Mister Speaker. We are here now in Chapter 11. Members of Congress are official
trustees presiding over the greatest reorganization of any bankrupt entity in world
history, the U. S. Government."
The U.S. Attorney General is the "permanent member" to the Secretariat of the Interpol
Operation, and the Secretary of Treasury the "alternate permanent member." Under
Article 30 of the "Constitution and General Regulation of Interpol," 22 USC 263(a), the
agents are required to renounce their allegiance to their respective countries and
expatriate.
Consequently, ALL "public servants," officials, Congressmen, politicians, judges,
attorneys, law enforcement personnel, the States and their various agencies, are express
agents of the Foreign Principals who have bankrupted and stolen the United States
through the paper money banking swindle and other frauds and treacheries.
Under trappings of "democracy," the flag, "law and order," the Constitution, etc.,
Americans have been duped into administering and submitting to their own subjugation,
bankruptcy, enslavement, and the elimination of their rights, freedom, and country. The
people have been reduced to peonage and involuntary servitude under a fraudulent,
tyrannical, and seditious foreign oligarchy whose express intent is to institute and
establish a dictatorship over the people and their posterity through a private, commercial
one-world-government (i.e., "THE NEW WORLD ORDER").
These Foreign Principals, through the knowing and unknowing complicity of their
Agents, have completely debauched the monetary system (National Geographic,
January 1993, THE POWER OF MONEY, page 83), declaring war on and against the
people of this country, destroyed the lives and livelihoods of millions of people, aided
and abetted the enemies of the American people and their posterity, incited rebellion and
anarchy within the de jure society, taken false oaths, entered into seditious foreign
agreements, pacts, confederations, treaties, and alliances, and under a pretense of
"emergency" which they themselves created, created and formed a multitude of offices
of alien allegiance (treason) to perpetuate their plunder, conquest, and subjugation of
what was once considered "the last great hope of human freedom."
These are truly guilty of SEDITION AND TREASON against the Constitution and
declared a domestic mixed war against the people of the united States. (See attached
TOP SECRET "Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars, a Manual for Silent Weapons System,"
1980 Article of Scientific American, The World Economy of the Year 2000.)
THEREFORE, the respondents are guilty of the above crimes in acting in conspiracy
with such agents of foreign powers to further destroy another individual, [name] the
undersigned, by such activity. TO WIT, the above named officers of [respondents], did
WILLFULLY AND UNLAWFULLY:
COUNT 1: On or about [date], accepted and honored a false document by the [state
and/or federal taxing authority] (California Criminal Code Section 125, unqualified
statement, a felony; Title 18 USC 1001) of an undocumented, unproven liability, shown
to be false by the Complainant Affiant [name], to take property <monies> without due
process of law to give it to the Franchise Tax Board. California Penal Code Section 182
(4), (5), Criminal Conspiracy, Sec. 186, Racketeering, Title 18, Sec 241, 1961, 1962.

Appendix B.5 - Coloring Agreement

This agreement can be used to establish the Constitution and the Bill of Rights as
"colorable law" between you and a government official. It is more likely to be effective
against an administrative or executive employee than a judge or a high elected official.
To the former, the amounts of money involved are significant. The latter may be rich
enough to regard this agreement as a minor nuisance.

All processes are those in which Constitutional and Commercial Rights have been
abridged and denied. Nothing has been provided to Lien Claimants by any Public
Official or Officer (Including Congress), associated or by directive in connection with
The Federal Emergency Martial Law Act, the New World Order, or the Federal Reserve
Bank, to demonstrate or prove that they are Commercially Bonded to operate any
Processes which abridges or denies any Commercial provision of the United States
Constitution or the California State Constitution.
This Commercial Lien is commercially necessary to guarantee for both the Lien
Claimants and the public in general; (Does 1 - 250,000,000) that such bond does exist
upon said Officials and Officers (Including Congress, Federal Reserve Bank, and Alan
Greenspan, Chairman of the Board) and is not placed for any other reason or harassment
of persons or processes; and,
that the Federal Emergency Martial Law Act will be disbanded immediately; and
that The New World Order proposed by President Bush shall be immediately negated;
and,
that The United States Constitution shall be returned as the Law of the Land to the
People; and,
that the Federal Reserve Bank, A Private Corporation immediately disband the Internal
Revenue Service as the collection arm for those taxes; and,
that The Federal Reserve Bank be disbanded as the "Controller" of The United States
Monetary System; and,
that the United States Monetary System be reinstated under the authority of The United
States Congress, as was intended by The Constitution of The United States.
The cited Lien Debtors are being liened for a minimum of $10,000 each by each of the
Lien Claimants for a total in excess of $2,500,000,000,000.00, which was arrived at by
using the $10,000 multiplied by 250,000,000 citizens based on and pursuant to Title 18
USC §241 of the United States Code, for violations of the United States Constitution
and Constitutional Rights, including the Seventh Amendment of the Bill of Rights which
guarantees a jury trial in all Commercial processes. Additionally, an approximation of
Thirty-Five (35) Civil Rights violations, i.e., other Commercial provision of The United
States Constitution.
This Commercial Lien is intended to notify, through recording, that all real and movable
property of the aforementioned can be seized from the cited Lien Debtors and those yet

such Lien Debtors as may be added from time to time, for whatever relevant and just
Commercial Agreements.

CLAIM OF LIEN
THIS CLAIM OF LIEN IS FILE PURSUANT CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE § 2872,
2874, 2875, 2881(1), 2883, and 2889, against Lien Debtor(s) for default and breach of
contract under commercial law. Section 3281 of Civil Code for damages sustained.
California Government Code § 27297.5 and 27387 as an involuntary lien based on
consensual actions by knowledgeable breach of contract (explained herein). THIS IS
NOT A LIS PENDENS LIEN.
LIEN DEBTOR:
[name2]

This CLAIM OF LIEN (Affidavit of Obligation) is a Consensual Lien/Obligation on the

part of the Lien Debtor(s), arising out of a private contract formed between LIEN
CLAIMANT and LIEN DEBTOR(S). Said contract was initiated by Lien Debtor by
claims asserted against Lien Claimant.
LIEN CLAIMANT responded to LIEN DEBTOR by a COMMERCIAL AFFIDAVIT
and subsequently a NOTICE OF DEFAULT enumerating the position of LIEN
CLAIMANT, proclaiming claims of LIEN DEBTOR to be in error and criminal, and
demanding a point-for-point rebuttal by LIEN DEBTOR and proof of basis for his
alleged cause of action against LIEN CLAIMANT within thirty (30) days or abate all
action against LIEN CLAIMANT, in which failure to rebut Lien Debtor(s) was(were)
put on notice that they would be in default.
Subject COMMERCIAL AFFIDAVIT sworn true, correct and complete was sent by
LIEN CLAIMANT, [name1] to LIEN DEBTOR(s), [name2], by United States Postal
Service, Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested # [number] on [date] LIEN DEBTOR
received said AFFIDAVIT, without signing the certified mail receipt on or about [date].
LIEN DEBTOR failed to respond to AFFIDAVIT/NOTICE, thereby admitting and
acquiescing to the declarations by LIEN CLAIMANT, a NOTICE OF DEFAULT was
served upon them on [date] by United States Postal Service, Certified Mail, Return
Receipt Requested # [number]. Such default admits that the LIEN DEBTOR’S claim
was false and fraudulent and that LIEN DEBTOR(S) was(were) guilty of the criminal
violations involved in the action of LIEN DEBTOR as set forth in LIEN CLAIMANT’S
COMMERCIAL AFFIDAVIT and NOTICE OF DEFAULT and subsequently charged in
a CRIMINAL COMPLAINT (AFFIDAVIT OF INFORMATION), given to the United
States District Court and the United States Attorney on [date] for LIEN DEBTOR
actions.
"Due process requires, at a minimum, that an individual be given a meaningful
opportunity to be heard prior to being subjected by force of law to a significant
deprivation. . . . That the hearing required by due process is subject to waiver, and is not
fixed in form does not affect its root requirement that an individual be given an
opportunity for a hearing before he is deprived of any significant property interest. . . ."
(Original italics; 401 US 378- 379) Randone v. Appellate Department, 1971, 5 C3d 536,
550.
"In the latter case [Mullane v. Central Hanover Trust Co., 339 U.S. 306] we said that the
right to be heard ‘has little reality or worth unless one is informed that the matter is
pending and can choose for himself whether to appear or default, acquiesce or contest.’
339 U.S. at 314" Sniadach v. Family Finance Corp., 395 U.S. 337, 339, 340
In the absence of a response, when the LIEN DEBTOR was given an opportunity to
respond, the LIEN CLAIMANT [name1] hereby inserts and records this CLAIM OF
LIEN against LIEN DEBTOR, [name2], jointly and severally in the total amount of
[amount spelled out ($0.00)], said moneys to be paid in coin minted by the United States
Mint, 31 USC 5112 Dollars. Said CLAIM OF LIEN is in the amount of criminal fines,
penalties, and damages enumerated in a CRIMINAL COMPLAINT (AFFIDAVIT OF
INFORMATION), received by the United States Attorney and United States Magistrate,
which total ledger amount is secured by the real and personal community property of
LIEN DEBTOR as follows:
PERSONAL, REAL and MOVABLE PROPERTY OF AT [address] save that of LIEN
DEBTOR’s wedding rings.
This CLAIM OF LIEN is filed pursuant the California Codes and the Fundamental
Commercial Law that has existed nearly 2,000 years:
"The ability to place a lien upon a man’s property, such as to temporarily deprive him of
its beneficial use, without any judicial determination of probable cause dates back not
only to medieval England but also to Roman times." United States Supreme Court, 1968,
Sniadach v. Family Finance Corp., 395 U.S. 337, 349

to command specific performance of LIEN DEBTOR(s) and to impound their
property(ies) for claims of obligation for non-performance, default in Commercial Law,
malfeasance of office, violation of oath of office, violation of trust, engaging in
unbonded acts, and numerous other crimes and offenses cited in the AFFIDAVIT OF
INFORMATION (Criminal Complaint) presented to the United States Magistrate and
United States Attorney.
This CLAIM OF LIEN is filed against [name2], LIEN DEBTOR and spouse, including
all Community Property of both, in order to prevent their evasion of financial liability
through efforts to shield property and assets by placing said property and assets in their
spouse’s names to prevent attachment for the satisfaction of suits and liens.
