             THE UCC (Uniform Commercial Code) CONNECTION

" I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, be wise as a serpent
and harmless as a dove."

This is a slightly condensed, casually paraphrased transcript of tapes
of a seminar given in 1990 by Howard Freeman. It was prepared to make
available the knowledge and experience of Mr. Freeman in his search for
an accessible and understandable explanation of the confusing state of
the government and the courts. It should be helpful to those who may
have difficulty learning from such lectures, or those who want to
develop a deeper understanding of this information without having to
listen to three or four hours of recorded material. The frustration many
Americans feel about our judicial system can be overwhelming and often
frightening; and, like most fear, is based on lack of understanding or
knowledge. Those of us who have chosen a path out of bondageand into
liberty are faced, eventually, with the seemingly tyrannical power of
some governmental agency and the mystifying and awesome power of the
courts. We have been taught that we must "get a good lawyer," but that
is becoming increasingly difficult, if not impossible. If we are
defending ourselves from the government, we find that the lawyers
quickly take our money and then tell us as the ship is sinking, "I
can't help you with that-- I'm an officer of the court." Ultimately,
the only way for us to have even a 'snowball's chance' is to understand
the RULES OF THE GAME, and to come to an understanding of the true
nature of the Law. The lawyers have established and secured a virtual
monopoly over this area of human knowledge by implying that the subject
is just too difficult for the average person to understand, and by
creating a separate vocabulary out of English words of otherwise common
usage. While it may, at times, seem hopelessly complicated, it is not
that difficult to grasp--are lawyers really as smart as they would have
us believe? Besides, anyone who has been through a legal battle against
the government with the aid of a lawyer has come to realize that lawyers
learn about procedure, not about law. Mr. Freeman admits that he is
not a lawyer, and as such, he has a way of explaining law to us that
puts it well within our reach. Consider also that the framers of the
Constitution wrote in language simple enough that the people could
understand, specifically so that it would not have to be interpreted.
So again we find, as in many other areas of life, that -THE BUCK STOPS
HERE!' It is we who must take the responsibility for finding and
putting to good use the TRUTH. It is we who must claim and defend our
God-given rights and our freedom from those who would take them from us.
It is we who must protect ourselves, our families and our posterity from
the inevitable intrusion into our lives by-those who live parasitically
off the labor, skill and talents of others. To these ends, Mr. Freeman
offers a simple, hopeful explanation of our plight and a peaceful method
of dealing with it. Please take note that this lecture represents one
chapter in the book of his understanding, which he is always refining,
expanding, improving. It is, as all bits of wisdom are, a point of
departure from which to begin our own journey into understanding, that
we all might be able to pass on to others: greater knowledge and hope,
and to God: the gift of lives lived in peace, freedom and praise.

                        INTRODUCTION

When I beat the IRS, I used Supreme Court decisions. If I had tried to
use these in court, I would have been convicted. I was involved with a
patriot group and I studied supreme Court cases. I concluded that the
Supreme Court had declared that I was not a person required to file an
income tax--that the tax was an excise tax on privileges granted by
government. So I quit filing and paying income taxes, and it was not
long before they came down on me with a heavy hand. They issued a
notice of deficiency, which had such a fantastic sum on it that the
biggest temptation was to go in with their letter and say. "Where in the
world did you ever get that figure?" They claimed I owed them some
$60,000. But even if I had been paying taxes, I never had that much
money, so how could I have owed them that much? NEVER ARGUE THE AMOUNT
OF DEFICIENCY Fortunately, I had been given just a little bit of
information: NEVER ARGUE THE FACTS IN A TAX CASE. If you're not
required to file, what do you care whether they say you owe sixty
dollars or 60,000 dollars. If you are not required to file, the amount
doesn't matter. Don't argue the amount--that is a fact issue. In most
instances, when you get a Notice of Deficiency, it is usually for some
fantastic amount. The IRS wants you to run in and argue about the
amount. The minute you say "I don't owe that much", you have agreed
that you owe them something, and you have given them jurisdiction. Just
don't be shocked at the amount on a Notice of Deficiency, even if it is
ten million dollars! If the law says that you are not required to file
or pay tax, the amount doesn't matter. By arguing the amount, they
will just say that you must go to tax court and decide what the amount
is to be. By the time you get to tax court, the law issues are all
decided. You are only there to decide how much you owe. They will not
listen to arguments of law. So I went to see the agent and told him that
I wasn't required to file. He said, "You are required to file, Mr.
Freeman." But I had all these supreme Court cases, and I started
reading them to him. He said, "I don't know anything about law, Mr.
Freeman, but the Code says that you are required to file, and you're
going to pay that
amount or you're going to go to tax court." I thought that someone
there ought to know something about law, so I asked to talk to his
superior. I went to him and got out my Supreme Court Cases, and he
wouldn't listen to them. "I don't know anything about law, Mr.
Freeman...." Finally I got to the Problems Resolution Officer, and he
said the same thing. He said that the only person above him was the
District Director. So I went to see him. By the time I got to his
office, they had phoned ahead, and his secretary said he was out. But I
heard someone in his office, and I knew he was in there. I went down the
elevator, around the corner to the Federal Building and into Senator
Simpson's office. There was a girl sitting there at a desk, and she
asked if she could help me. I told her my problem. I said that I really
thought the District Director was up there. I asked her to call the IRS
and tell them that it was Senator Simpson's office calling and to ask if
the District Director was in. I said, "If you get him on the phone,
tell him that you are from the Senator's office and you have a person
who you are sending over to speak to him--if he is can wait just five
minutes." It worked. He was there, and I ran back up to his office.
His secretary met me when I came in and said, "Mr. Freeman, you're so
lucky--the Director just arrived." The Director was very nice and
offered me coffee and cookies and we sat and talked. So he asked me
what I wanted to talk to him about. (If you ever have someone say to
you, "I'm from the government and I'm here to do you a favor", watch
out!--but we can turn that around and approach them the same way.) So I
said, "I thought you ought to know that there are agents working for you
who are writing letters over your name that you wouldn't agree with. Do
you read all the mail that goes out of this office over your signature?"
The Director said, "Oh, I couldn't read everything--it goes out of here
by the bagful." That was what I thought. I said, "There are some of
your agents writing letters which contradict the decisions of the
supreme Court of the United States. And they're not doing it over
their name, they're doing it over your name." He was very interested
to hear about it and asked if I had any examples. I just happened to
have some with me, so I got them out and presented them to him. He
thought it was very interesting and asked if I could leave this
information with him, which I did. He said he would look it over and
contact me in three days. Three days later he called me up and said,
"I'm sure, Mr. Freeman, that you will be glad to know that your Notice
of Deficiency has been withdrawn. We've determined that you're not a
person required to file. Your file is closed and you will hear no more
from us." I haven't heard another word from them since. That was in
1980, and I haven't filed since 1969.

                        THE SUPREME COURT ON TRIAL

I thought sure I had the answer, but when a friend got charged with
Willful Failure to File an income tax, he asked me to help him. I told
him that they have to prove that he willfully failed to file, and I
suggested that he should put me on the witness stand. He should ask
me if I spoke at a certain time and place in Scott's Bluff, and did I
see him in the audience. He should then ask me what I spoke of that day.
When I got on the stand, I brought out all of the Supreme Court cases I
had used with the District Director. I thought I would be lucky to get
a sentence or two out before the judge cut me off, but I was reading
whole paragraphs-- and the judge didn't stop me. I read one and then
another, and so on. And finally when I had read just about as much as I
thought I should, the judge called a recess of the court. I told Bob I
thought we had it made. There was just no way that they could rule
against him after all that testimony. So we relaxed. The prosecution
presented its case and he decided to rest his defense on my testimony,
which showed that he was not required to file, and that the Supreme
Court had upheld this position. The prosecution then presented its
closing statements and we were just sure that he had won. But at the
very end, the judge spoke to the jury and told them, "You will decide
the facts of this case and I will give you the law. The law required
this man to file an Income Tax form; you decide whether or not he filed
it." What a shock! The jury convicted him. Later some members of the
jury said, "What could we do? The man had admitted that he had not filed
the form, so we had to convict him". As soon as the trial was over I
went around to the judges's office and he was just coming in through his
back door. I said, "Judge, by what authority do you overturn the
standing decisions of the United States supreme Court. You sat on the
bench while I read that case law. Now how do you, a District Court
Judge, have the authority to overturn decisions of the Supreme Court?"
He says, "Oh, those were old decisions." I said, "Those are standing
decisions. They have never been overturned. I don't care how old they
are; you have no right to overturn a standing decision of the United
States Supreme Court in a District Court."


                        PUBLIC LAW V. PUBLIC POLICY

He said, "Name any decision of the Supreme Court after 1938 and I'll
honor it, but all the decisions you read were prior to 1938, and I don't
honor those decisions." I asked what happened in 1938. He said, "Prior
to 1938, the Supreme Court was dealing with Public Law; since 1938, the
Supreme Court has dealt with Public Policy. The charge that Mr. S. was
being tried for is a Public Policy Statute, not Public Law, and those
Supreme Court cases do not apply to Public Policy." I asked him what
happened in 1938. He said that he had already told me too much--he
wasn't going to tell me any more. 1938 AND THE ERIE RAILROAD Well, I
began to investigate. I found that 1938 was the year of the Erie
Railroad v. Tompkins case of the Supreme Court. It was also the year
the courts claim they blended Law with Equity. I read the Erie Railroad
case. A man had sued the Erie railroad for damages when he was struck
by a board sticking out of a boxcar as he walked along beside the
tracks. The district court had decided on the basis of Commercial
(Negotiable Instruments) Law: that this man was not under any contract
with the Erie Railroad, and therefore he had no standing to sue the
company. Under the Common Law, he was damaged and he would have had the
right to sue. This overturned a standing decision of over one hundred
years. Swift v. Tyson in 1840 was a similar case, and the decision of
the supreme Court was that in any case of this type, the court would
judge the case on the Common Law of the state where the incident
occurred--in this case Pennsylvania. But in the Erie Railroad case, the
supreme Court ruled that all federal cases will be judged under the
Negotiable Instruments Law. There would be no more decisions based on
the Common Law at the federal level. So here we find the blending of Law
with Equity. This was a puzzle to me. As I put these new pieces
together, I determined that all our courts since 1938 were Merchant Law
courts and not Common Law courts. There were still some pieces of the
puzzle missing.

                        A FRIEND IN THE COURT

Fortunately, I made a friend of a judge. Now you won't make friends
with a judge if you go into court like a 'wolf in black sheep country.'
You must approach him as though you are the sheep and he is the wolf.
If you go into court as a wolf, you make demands and tell the judge
what the law is--how he had better uphold the law or else. Remember the
verse: I send you out as sheep in wolf country; be wise as a serpent and
harmless as a dove. We have to go into court and be wise and harmless,
and not make demands. We must play a little dumb and ask a lot of
questions. Well, I asked a lot of questions and boxed the judges into a
corner where they had to give me a victory or admit what they didn't
want to admit. I won the case, and on the way out I had to stop by the
clerk's office to get some papers. One of the judges stopped and said,
"You're an interesting man, Mr. Freeman. If you're ever in town, stop
by, and if I'm not sitting on a case we will visit.

                        AMERICA IS BANKRUPT

Later, when I went to visit the judge, I told him of my problem with the
supreme Court cases dealing with Public Policy rather than Public Law.
He said, "In 1938, all the higher judges, the top attorneys and the U.S.
attorneys were called into a secret meeting and this is what we were
told: America is a bankrupt nation--it is owned completely by its
creditors. The creditors own the Congress, they own the Executive, they
own the Judiciary and they own all the state governments. Take silent
judicial notice of this fact, but never reveal it openly. Your court is
operating in a Admiralty Jurisdiction--call it anything you want, but do
not call it Admiralty.

                        ADMIRALTY COURTS

The reason they cannot call it Admiralty Jurisdiction is that your
defense would be quite different in Admiralty Jurisdiction from your
defense under the Common Law. In Admiralty, there is no court which has
jurisdiction unless there is a valid international contract in dispute.
If you know it is Admiralty Jurisdiction, and they have admitted on the
record that you are in an Admiralty Court, you can demand that the
international maritime contract, to which you are supposedly a party,
and which you supposedly have breached, be placed into evidence. No
court has Admiralty/Maritime Jurisdiction unless there is a valid
international maritime contract that has been breached. So you say,
just innocently like a lamb, "Well, I never knew that I got involved
with an international maritime contract, so I deny that such a contract
exists. If this court is taking jurisdiction in Admiralty, then place
the contract in evidence, so that I may challenge the validity of the
contract. What they would have to do is place the national debt into
evidence. They would have to admit that the international bankers own
the whole nation, and that we are their slaves.

                        NOT EXPEDIENT

But the bankers said it is not expedient at this time to admit that they
own everything and could foreclose on every nation of the world. The
reason they don't want to tell everyone that they own everything is that
there are still too many privately owned guns. There are uncooperative
armies and other military forces. So until they can gradually
consolidate all armies into a WORLD ARMY and all courts into a single
WORLD COURT, it is not expedient to admit the jurisdiction the courts
are operating under. When we understand these things, we realize that
there are certain secrets they don't want to admit, and we can use this
to our benefit.

                        JURISDICTION

The Constitution of the united States mentions three areas of
jurisdiction in which the courts may operate: Common Law Common Law is
based on God's Law. Anytime someone is charged under the Common Law,
there must be a damaged party. You are free under the Common Law to do
anything you please, as long as you do not infringe on the life,
liberty, or property of someone else. You have a right to make a fool
of yourself provided you do not infringe on the life, liberty, or
property of someone else. The Common Law does not allow for any
government action which prevents a man from making a fool of himself.
For instance, when you cross over state lines in most states, you will
see a sign which says, "BUCKLE YOUR SEAT BELTS--IT'S THE LAW.' This
cannot be Common Law, because who would you injure if you did not buckle
up? Nobody. This would be compelled performance. But Common Law
cannot compel performance. Any violation of Common Law is a CRIMINAL
ACT, and is punishable. Equity Law Equity Law is law which compels
performance. It compels you to perform to the exact letter of any
contract that you are under. So, if you have compelled performance,
there must be a contract somewhere, and you are being compelled to
perform under the obligation of the contract. Now this can only be a
civil action--not criminal. In Equity Jurisdiction, you cannot be tried
criminally, but you can be compelled to perform to the letter of a
contract. If you then refuse to perform as directed by the court, you
can be charged with contempt of court, which is a criminal action. Are
our seatbelt laws Equity laws? No, they are not, because you cannot be
penalized or punished for not keeping to the letter of a contract.
Admiralty/Maritime Law This is a civil jurisdiction of Compelled
Performance which also has Criminal Penalties for not adhering to the
letter of the contract, but this only applies to International
Contracts. Now we can see what jurisdiction the seatbelt laws (and all
traffic laws, building codes, ordinances, tax codes, etc.) are under.
Whenever there is a penalty for failure to perform (such as willful
failure to file), that is Admiralty/ Maritime Law and there must be a
valid international contract in force. However, the courts don't want
to admit that they are operating under Admiralty/Maritime Jurisdiction,
so they took the international law or Law Merchant and adopted it into
our codes. That is what the supreme Court decided in the Erie Railroad
case--that the decisions will be based on commercial law or business law
and that it will have criminal penalties associated with it. Since they
were instructed not to call it Admiralty Jurisdiction, they call it
Statutory Jurisdiction.


                        COURTS OF CONTRACT

You may ask how we got into this situation where we can be charged with
failure to wear seatbelts and be fined for it. Isn't the judge sworn to
uphold the Constitution? Yes, he is. But you must understand that the
Constitution, in Article I, Section 10, gives us the unlimited right to
contract, as long as we do not infringe on the life, liberty or property
of someone else. Contracts are enforceable, and the Constitution gives
two jurisdictions where contracts can be enforced--Equity or Admiralty.
But we find them being enforced in Statutory Jurisdiction. This is the
embarrassing part for the courts, but we can use this to box the judges
into a corner in their own courts. We will cover this more later.

                        CONTRACTS MUST BE VOLUNTARY

 Under the Common Law, every contract must be entered into knowingly,
voluntarily, and intentionally by both parties or it is void and
unenforceable. These are characteristics of a Common Law contract.
There is another characteristic--it must be based on substance. For
example, contracts used to read, "For one dollar and other valuable
considerations, I will paint your house, etc." That was a valid
contract--the dollar was a genuine, silver dollar. Now, suppose you
wrote a contract that said, -For one Federal Reserve Note and other
considerations, I will paint your house....' And suppose, for example,
I painted your house the wrong color. Could you go into a Common Law
court and get justice? No, you could not. You see, a Federal Reserve
Note is a "colorable" dollar, as it has no substance, and in a Common
Law jurisdiction, that contract would be unenforceable.

                        COLORABLE MONEY/COLORABLE COURTS

The word "colorable" means something that appears to be genuine, but is
not. Maybe it looks like a dollar, and maybe it spends like a dollar,
but if it is not redeemable for lawful money (silver or gold) it is
colorable.' If a Federal Reserve Note is used in a contract, then the
contract becomes a "colorable" contract. And "colorable" contracts must
be enforced under a "colorable" jurisdiction. So by creating Federal
Reserve Notes, the government had to create a jurisdiction to cover the
kinds of contracts which use them. We now have what is called Statutory
Jurisdiction, which is not a genuine Admiralty jurisdiction. It is
"colorable" Admiralty Jurisdiction the judges are enforcing because we
are using "colorable money." Colorable Admiralty is now known as
Statutory Jurisdiction. Let's see how we got under this Statutory
Jurisdiction.

                        UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE

The government set up a "colorable" law system to fit the "colorable"
currency. It used to be called the Law Merchant or the Law of
Redeemable Instruments, because it dealt with paper which was redeemable
in something of substance. But, once Federal Reserve Notes had become
unredeemable, there had to be a system of law which was completely
"colorable" from start to finish. This system of law was codified as
the Uniform Commercial Code, and has been adopted in every state. This
is "colorable" law, and it is used in all the courts. I explained one
of the keys earlier, which is that the country is bankrupt and we have
no rights. If the master says "Jump!" then the slave had better jump,
because the master has the right to cut his head off. As slaves we have
no rights. But the creditors/masters had to cover that up, so they
created a system of law called the Uniform Commercial Code. This
-colorable' jurisdiction under the Uniform Commercial Code is the next
key to understanding what has happened.

                        CONTRACT OR AGREEMENT

One difference between Common Law and the Uniform Commercial Code is
that in Common Law, contracts must be entered into: (1) knowingly, (2)
voluntarily, and (3) intentionally. Under the U.C.C., this is not so.
First of all, con-tracts are un-necessary. Under this new law,
-agreements' can be binding, and if you only exercise the benefits of a
-agreement,' it is presumed or implied that you intend to meet the
obligations associated with those benefits. If you accept a benefit
offered by government, then you are obligated to follow, to the letter,
each and every statute involved with that benefit. The method has been
to get everybody exercising a benefit, and they don't even have to tell
the people what the benefit is. Some people think it is the driver's
license, the marriage license or the birth certificate, etc. I believe
it is none of these.

                        COMPELLED BENEFIT

I believe the benefit being used is that we have been given the
privilege of discharging debt with limited liability, instead of paying
debt. When we pay a debt, we give substance for substance. If I buy a
quart of milk with a silver dollar, that dollar bought the milk, and the
milk bought the dollar--substance for substance. But if I use a Federal
Reserve Note to buy the milk, I have not paid for it.There is no
substance in the Federal Reserve Note It is worthless paper given in
exchange for something of substantive value. Congress offers us this
benefit: Debt money, created by the federal United States, can be
spent all over the continental united States, it will be legal tender
for all debts, public and private, and the limited liability is that you
cannot be sued for not paying your debts. So now they have said,
"We're going to help you out, and you can just discharge your debts
instead of paying your debts." When we use this -colorable' money to
discharge our debts, we cannot use a Common Law court. We can only use
a "colorable" court. We are completely under the jurisdiction of the
Uniform Commercial Code--we are using non-redeemable negotiable
instruments and we are discharging debt rather than paying debt.

                        REMEDY AND RECOURSE

Every system of civilized law must have two characteristics: Remedy and
Recourse. Remedy is a way to get out from under that law. The Recourse
is if you have been damaged under the law, you can recover your loss.
The Common Law, the Law of Merchants, and even the Uniform Commercial
Code all have remedy and recourse, but for a long time we could not find
it. If you go to a law library and ask to see the Uniform Commercial
Code, they will show you a shelf of books completely filled with the
Uniform Commercial Code. When you pick up one volume and start to read
it, it will seem to have been intentionally written to be confusing. It
took us a long time to discover where the Remedy and Recourse are found
in the UCC. They are found right in the first volume, at 1-207 and
1-103.

                                REMEDY

The making of a valid Reservation of Rights preserves whatever rights
the person then possesses, and prevents the loss of such rights by
application of concepts of waiver or estoppel. (UCC 1-207.7) It is
important to remember when we go into a court, that we are in a
commercial, international jurisdiction. If we go into court and say, "I
DEMAND MY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS," the judge will most likely say, "You
mention the Constitution again, and I'll find you in contempt of court!"
Then we don't understand how he can do that. Hasn't he sworn to uphold
the Constitution? The rule here is: you cannot be charged under one
jurisdiction, and defend under another. For example, if the French
government came to you and asked where you filed your French income tax
in a certain year, do you go to the French government and say, "I demand
my Constitutional Rights?" No. The proper answer is: THE LAW DOESN'T
APPLY TO ME--I'M NOT A FRENCHMAN. You must make your reservation of
rights under the jurisdiction in which you are charged--not under some
other jurisdiction. So in a UCC court, you must claim your reservation
of rights under the U.C.C. 1-207.

UCC 1-207 goes on to say: When a waivable right or claim is involved,
the failure to make a reservation thereof, causes a loss of the right,
and bars its assertion at a later date. (UCC 1-207.9) You have to make
your claim known early. Further, it says: The Sufficiency of the
Reservation--Any expression indicating an intention to reserve rights,
is sufficient, such as "without prejudice". (UCC 1-207.4) Whenever you
sign any legal paper that deals with Federal Reserve Notes--in any way,
shape or manner--under your signature write: Without Prejudice UCC
1-207. This reserves your rights. You can show, at 1-207.4, that you
have sufficiently reserved your rights.

It is very important to understand just what this means. For example,
one man who used this in regard to a traffic ticket was asked by the
judge just what he meant by writing -without prejudice UCC 1-207' on
his statement to the court. He had not tried to understand the concepts
involved. He only wanted to use it to get out of the ticket. He did
not know what it meant. When the judge asked him what he meant by
signing in that way, he told the judge that he was not prejudiced
against anyone.... The judge knew that the man had no idea what it
meant, and he lost the case. You must know what it means.

                        WITHOUT PREJUDICE UCC 1-207

When you use 'without prejudice' UCC 1-207 in connection with your
signature, you are saying: -I reserve my right not to be compelled to
perform under any contract or commercial agreement that I did not enter
knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally. And furthermore, I do not
accept the liability of the compelled benefit of any unrevealed contract
or commercial agreement.'

What is the compelled performance of an unrevealed commercial agreement?
When you use Federal Reserve Notes instead of silver dollars, is it
voluntary? No. There is no lawful money, so you have to use Federal
Reserve Notes--you have to accept the benefit. The government has given
you the benefit to discharge your debts with limited liability, and you
don't have to pay your debts. How nice they are! But if you did not
reserve your rights under 1-207.7, you are compelled to accept the
benefit, and are therefore obligated to obey every statute, ordinance
and regulation of the government, at all levels of government--federal,
state and local.

If you understand this, you will be able to explain it to the judge when
he asks. And he will ask, so be prepared to explain it to the court.
You will also need to understand UCC 1-103--the argument and recourse.

If you want to understand this fully, go to a law library and photocopy
these two sections from the UCC. It is important to get the Anderson
edition. Some of the law libraries will only have the West Publishing
version, and it is very difficult to understand. In Anderson, it is
broken down with decimals into ten parts and, most importantly, it is
written in plain English.

                                RECOURSE

The Recourse appears in the Uniform Commercial Code at 1-103.6, which
says: The Code is complimentary to the Common Law, which remains in
force, except where displaced by the code. A statute should be
construed in harmony with the Common Law, unless there is a clear
legislative intent to abrogate the Common Law. This is the argument we
use in court.

The Code recognizes the Common Law. If it did not recognize the Common
Law, the government would have had to admit that the United States is
bankrupt, and is completely owned by its creditors. But, it is not
expedient to admit this, so the Code was written so as not to abolish
the Common Law entirely. Therefore, if you have made a sufficient,
timely, and explicit reservation of your rights at 1-207, you may then
insist that the statutes be construed in harmony with the Common Law.

If the charge is a traffic ticket, you may demand that the court produce
the injured person who has filed a verified complaint. If, for example,
you were charged with failure to buckle your seatbelt, you may ask the
court who was injured as a result of your failure to 'buckle up.'

However, if the judge won't listen to you and just moves ahead with the
case, then you will want to read to him the last sentence of 1-103.6,
which states: The Code cannot be read to preclude a Common Law action.
Tell the judge, -Your Honor, I can sue you under the Common Law, for
violating my right under the Uniform Commercial Code.' I have a remedy,
under the UCC, to reserve my rights under the Common Law. I have
exercised the remedy, and now you must construe this statute in harmony
with the Common Law. To be in harmony with the Common Law, you must
come forth with the damaged party.' If the judge insists on proceeding
with the case, just act confused and ask this question: -Let me see if I
understand, Your Honor: Has this court made a legal determination that
the sections 1-207 and 1-103 of the Uniform Commercial Code, which is
the system of law you are operating under, are not valid law before this
court?' Now the judge is in a jamb! How can the court throw out one
part of the Code and uphold another? If he answers, -yes,' then you
say: -I put this court on notice that I am appealing your legal
determination.' Of course, the higher court will uphold the Code on
appeal. The judge knows this, so once again you have boxed him into a
corner.

Part 2
                        PRACTICAL APPLICATION--TRAFFIC COURT

Just so we can understand how this whole process works, let us look at a
court situation such as a traffic violation. Assume you ran through a
yellow light and a policeman gave you a traffic ticket.

1. The first thing you want to do is to delay the action at least three
weeks. This you can do by being pleasant and cooperative with the
officer. Explain to him that you are very busy and ask if he could
please set your court appearance for about three weeks away. (At this
point we need to remember the government's trick: -I'm from the
government, I'm here to help you.' Now we want to use this approach
with them.)

2. The next step is to go to the clerk of the traffic court and say, -I
believe it would be helpful if I talk to you, because I want to save the
government some money (this will gets his attention). I am undoubtedly
going to appeal this case. As you know, in an appeal, I have to have a
transcript, but the traffic court doesn't have a court reporter. It
would be a waste of taxpayer's money to run me through this court and
then to have to give me a trial de novo in a court of record. I do need
a transcript for appealing, and to save the government some money, maybe
you could schedule me to appear in a court of record.' You can show the
date on the ticket and the clerk will usually agree that there is
plenty of time to schedule your trial for a court of record. Now your
first appearance is in a court of record and not in a traffic court,
where there is no record. When you get into court there will be a court
reporter there who records every word the judge speaks, so the judge is
much more careful in a court of record. You will be in a much better
situation there than in a traffic court. If there is no record, the
judge can say whatever he wants--he can call you all sorts of names and
tell you that you have no rights, and so on--and deny it all later.

3. When you get into court, the judge will read the charges: driving
through a yellow light, or whatever, and this is a violation of
ordinance XYZ. He will ask, -Do you understand the charge against you?'

4. -Well, Your Honor, there is a question I would like to ask before I
can make a plea of innocent or guilty. I think it could be answered if
I could put the officer on the stand for a moment and ask him a few
short questions.' Judge: -I don't see why not. Let's swear the officer
in and have him take the stand.'

5. -Is this the instrument that you gave me?' (handing him the traffic
citation) Officer: -Yes, this is a copy of it. The judge has the other
portion of it.' -Where did you get my address that you wrote on that
citation?' Officer: -Well, I got it from your driver's license.'
(Handing the officer your driver's license) Is this the document you
copied my name and address from?' Officer: -Yes, this is where I got
it.' -While you've got that in your hand, would you read the signature
that's on that license?' (The officer reads the signature) -While
you're there, would you read into the record what it says under the
signature?' Officer: -It says, 'Without prejudice, UCC 1-207.'' Judge:
-'Let me see that license!' (He looks at it and turns to the officer)
-You didn't notice this printing under the signature on this license,
when you copied his name and address onto the ticket?' Officer: -Oh,
no. I was just getting the address--I didn't look down there.' Judge:
-You're not very observant as an officer. Therefore, I'm afraid I
cannot accept your testimony in regards to the facts of this case. This
case is dismissed.'

6. In this case, the Judge found a convenient way out--he could say that
the officer was not observant enough to be a reliable witness. He did
not want to admit the real nature of the jurisdiction of his court.
Once it was in the record that you had written 'Without prejudice' UCC
1-207 on your license, the judge knew that he would have to admit that:
a. you had reserved your Common Law rights under the UCC; b. you had
done it sufficiently by writing 'Without prejudice' UCC 1-207 on your
driver's license; c. the statute would now have to be read in
harmony with the Common Law, and the Common Law says the statute exists,
but there is no injured party; and d. since there is no injured party
or complaining witness, the court has no jurisdiction under the Common
Law.

7. If the judge tries to move ahead and try the facts of the case, then
you will want to ask him the following question:

Your Honor, let me understand this correctly: has this court made a
legal determination that it has authority under the jurisdiction that it
is operating under, to ignore two sections of the Uniform Commercial
Code which have been called to its attention? If he says yes, tell him
that you put the court on notice that you will appeal that legal
determination, and that if you are damaged by his actions, you will sue
him in a common law action--under the jurisdiction of the UCC. This
will work just as well with the Internal Revenue Service. In fact, we
can use the UCC with the IRS before we get to court. USING THE CODE WITH
THE IRS

If the IRS sends you a Notice of Deficiency, this is called a
presentment' in the Uniform Commercial Code. A -presentment' in the
UCC is very similar to the Common Law. First we must understand just
how this works in the Common Law.

Suppose I get a man's name from a phone book--someone I have never met.
And I send him a bill or invoice on nice letterhead which says, -For
services rendered: $10,000.00.' I send this by Certified Mail to him at
the address taken from the phone book. The man has to sign for it before
he can open it, so I get a receipt that he received it. When he opens
it, he finds an invoice for $10,000 and the following statement: -If you
have any questions concerning this bill or the services rendered, you
have thirty days to make your questions or objections known.'

Of course, he has never heard of me, so he just throws the bill away and
assumes that I'm confused or crazy. At the end of thirty days, I go to
court and get a default judgment against him. He received a bill for
$10,000, was given thirty days to respond. He failed to object to it or
ask any questions about it. Now he has defaulted on the bill and I can
lawfully collect the $10,000.

That's Common Law. The UCC works on the same principle. The minute you
get a Notice of Deficiency from the IRS, you return it immediately with
a letter that says: The presentment above is dishonored. Your name
has reserved all of his/her rights under the Uniform Commercial Code at
UCC 1-207. This should be all that is necessary, as there is nothing
more that they can do. In fact, I recently helped someone in Arizona
who received a Notice of Deficiency. The man sent a letter such as
this, dishonoring the 'presentment.' The IRS wrote back that they could
not make a determination at that office, but were turning it over to the
Collections Department. A letter was attached from the Collections
Department which said they were sorry for the inconvenience they had
caused him and that the Notice of Deficiency had been withdrawn. So you
can see that if it is handled properly, these things are easily
resolved.

                        IMPENDING BANKRUPTCY

On my way here, I had a chance to visit with the Governor of Wyoming.
He is very concerned that if he runs for office this November, that
there won't be a State of Wyoming at the end of four years. He believes
that the International Bankers might foreclose on the nation and
officially admit that they own the whole world. They could round up
everybody in the state capitol building, put them in an internment camp
and hold them indefinitely. They may give them a trial, or they may
not. They will do whatever they want. As I explained earlier, it has
not been expedient to foreclose on the nation until they could get
everything ready. This is where the Federal Emergency Management Agency
comes in. It has been put in place without anyone really noticing it.

                                FEMA

FEMA, or the Federal Emergency Management Agency has been designed for
when America is officially declared bankrupt, which would be a national
emergency. In a national emergency, all Constitutional Rights and all
law that previously existed, would be suspended. FEMA has created large
concentration camps where they would put anyone who might cause trouble
for the orderly plan and process of the new regime to take over the
nation.

Even a governor could be thrown into one of these internment camps, and
kept there indefinitely. This is all in place now, and they are just
waiting to declare a national emergency. Then even state governments
could be dissolved. Anybody who might oppose the new regime could be
imprisoned until a new set of laws could be written and a new government
set up. The Governor knows all this, and he is very concerned. He
doesn't want to be in office when all this happens.

I visited with him and I told him that there are certain action we
should take right now. I think we should consider the fact that,
according to the Uniform Commercial Code, Wyoming is an accommodation
party to the national debt. To under-stand this we must realize that
there are two separate entities known as the United States.

                        THE ROTHSCHILD INFLUENCE

When America was founded, the Rothschilds were very unhappy because it
was founded on the Common Law. The Common Law is based on substance,
and this substance is mentioned in the Constitution as gold or silver.
America is a Constitutional Republic--that is: a union of the States
under the Constitution. When Congress was working for the Republic, the
only thing it could borrow was gold or silver, and the Rothschild banks
did not loan gold or silver. Naturally, they did not like this new
government.

The Rothschilds had a deal with the King of England. He would borrow
paper and agree to repay in gold. But these united States, with their
Constitution, were an obstacle to them, and it was much to the
Rothschild's advantage to get the colonies back under the King. So the
Rothschilds financed the War of 1812 to bring America back under
England. Of course, that didn't work, so they had to find another way.

        THE FLAW IN THE CONSTITUTION: TWO NATIONS IN ONE

It was around the time of the American Civil War that they discovered a
flaw in the Constitution. The flaw was Article I, Section 8, Clause 17.

Remember that there are two nations called -United States.' What is a
nation? See if you would agree to this definition: Whenever you have a
governing body, having a prescribed territory containing a body of
people. Is that a nation? Yes. We have a governing body in the
Republic--the three branch government. There are the legislative, the
executive and the judicial branches, with a constitution. There is a
prescribed territory containing a body of people. This is a
Constitutional Republic.

But, Article I, Section 8, Clause 17 gave Congress, which is the
legislative branch of the three branch government, exclusive rule over a
given territory known as the District of Columbia, containing a body of
people. Here we have a nation within a nation. This is a legislative
democracy within a Constitutional Republic.

When Congress was a part of the Constitutional Republic, it had the
obligation of providing a medium of exchange for us. Its duty was to
coin gold or silver. Anyone who had a piece of gold or silver could
bring it in and have it freely minted into coin. This was the medium of
exchange for the Republic.

But, in the Legislative Democracy (over Washington D. C.), Congress is
not limited by the Constitution. Congress has exclusive rule over the
District of Columbia. The legislators can make the law by a majority
vote--that makes it a democracy; they have the authority to have
administrative agents to enforce their own law; and they have courts in
the legislative branch of government, to try their own law. Here we
have the legislature making the law, enforcing the law and trying the
law, all within the one branch of government. This is a one branch
government within a three branch government.

Under the three branch government, the congress passes law which has to
be in harmony with the Constitution, the executive enforces the law
passed by the congress, and the judiciary tries the law, pursuant to the
Constitution.

THE THREE BRANCH CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC and the ONE BRANCH LEGISLATIVE
DEMOCRACY are both called THE UNITED STATES. One is the federal United
States, and the other is the continental united States.

                ARE YOU A UNITED STATES CITIZEN?

If you say that you are a United States citizen, which United States are
you referring to? Anyone who lives in the District of Columbia is a
United States citizen. The remaining population in the fifty states is
the national citizenry of the nation. We are domiciled in various
sovereign states, protected by the constitutions of those states from
any direct rule of Congress over us. In the democracy, anyone who
lives in those states known as Washington D.C., Guam, Puerto Rico, or
any of the other federally held territories is a citizen of the United
States [D.C.]. We must be careful with our choice of words--we are not
citizens of the United States. We are not subject to Congress.
Congress has exclusive rule over a given territory, and we are not part
of that territory.

Where did Congress get the authority to write the Internal Revenue Code?
It is found in Article I, Section 8, Clause 17 of the Constitution. To
pass that law, they only needed a majority vote. There is no other way
that they could pass laws directly affecting individuals. Title 26, the
Internal Revenue Code, was passed as law for another nation (remember
our definition of 'nation'), but Title 26 is not consistent with the
Bill of Rights. If you try to fight the IRS, you have no rights--the
Code does not give you any of your constitutional rights. It simply
says, -You failed to file an income tax form--you failed to perform in
some specific manner.'

Remember, under the Common Law, you are free to do whatever you want as
long as you do not infringe upon the life, liberty or property of anyone
else. If you do not want to perform, you don't have to. The only way
you can be compelled to perform under the Constitution in the
continental united States, is if you have entered a contract. But if
you are not under a contract you can not be compelled to perform. How
can you be compelled to file an income tax form, or any form?
When Congress works for the Republic, every law it passes must be in
harmony with the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, but when Congress
works for the Legislative Democracy, any law it passes becomes the law
of the land (remember, Congress has exclusive legislative control over
federal territory).

If you are charged with Willful failure to file an income tax 1040 form,
that is a law for a different nation. You are a non-resident alien to
that nation. It is a foreign corporation to you. It is not the
Republic of the Continental United States coming after you, it is a
foreign nation--a legislative democracy of a foreign nation coming after
you.

If you get a Notice of Deficiency from the IRS, it is a presentment from
the federal United States, and then you can use the UCC to dishonor it,
and you can also mention that you are among the national citizenry of
continental united States, and you are a non-resident alien to the
federal United States. You never lived in a federal territory and never
had any income from the federal United States.

Furthermore, you cannot be required to file or pay taxes under the
compelled benefit of using the Federal Reserve Notes, because you have
reserved your rights under the Common Law through the Uniform Commercial
Code at 1-207.

                ORIGINAL INTENT OF THE FOUNDERS

The Founding Fathers would never have created a government that was
going to boss them around! There were 13 sovereign States. They were
nations, and they joined together for protection from foreign enemies.
They provided a means by which the union of the sovereign states could
fend off foreign enemies. But they never gave the congress of the
federal United States direct rule over any citizen of any state. They
were not going to be ordered around by that government they set up.

                        FEDERAL REGIONS

The supreme Court has declared that Congress can rule what Congress
creates. Congress did not create the States, but Congress did create
federal regions. So Congress can rule the federal regions, but Congress
can not rule the States. How have we been tricked into federal regions?

                        THE ZIP CODE TRICK

Remember how the government always comes to us and says, -I'm from the
government and I'm here to help you.' The government went out into the
various states and said, -We don't want you to have to go to all that
trouble of writing three or four letters to abbreviate the name of the
state--such as Ariz. for Arizona. Just write AZ, instead of Ariz. Or
you can just write WY for Wyoming instead of Wyo.' So all of the states
of the union have got a new two-letter abbreviation. Even a state such
as Rhode Island has a new abbreviation. It is RI, instead of R.I. They
have just left off the periods. When you use a two-letter state
abbreviation, you are compelled to use a zip code, because there are so
many states, for example, which start with M. ME is Maine--MI is
Michigan. How many people dot every 'i', or make an 'i' that looks like
an 'e'? With MA, MO, MN, MS, etc., and some sloppy writing, and you
could not tell one from another. So, we have to use the zip code in
order to tell them apart. But if you wrote Mich., or Minn., or Miss.,
there would be no real problem telling which state it was.

There is no harm in using the zip code, if you lawfully identify your
state. I found out that no state legislature has met to lawfully change
the abbreviation of the state from the old abbreviation to the new.
Therefore, if you do not use the lawful abbreviation for your state, but
use the shorter new abbreviation, you have to use the zip code.

Look on page 11 of the Zip Code Directory, and it will tell you that the
first digit of your zip code is the federal region in which you reside.
If you use AZ for Arizona, you cannot use the state constitution to
protect you because you did not identify your state. You used the zip
code, which identifies which federal region you live in. And Congress
may rule directly federal regions, but it cannot rule the citizens of
any state.

                        ACCOMMODATION PARTY

Let's look at how the states have become the accommodation party to the
national debt. There are many people I have talked to, including the
Governor, who are very concerned about this, and who know that it could
happen very soon.

If America is declared a bankrupt nation, it will be a national
emergency. The Federal Emergency Management Agency will take over, and
anyone who opposes the new government of the creditors can be sent to a
detention camp in Alaska. We will have no rights whatsoever. They have
already set up prison camps with work camps nearby so the people can be
used for slave labor. It could be the governors, legislators, and other
leaders who would be hauled away to Alaska, while the people now
disenfranchised from power would likely be chosen to run the new
government. This could all happen very soon, as the national debt is so
large as to be unpayable. Even the interest on the debt is virtually
unpayable.

As I explained, the national debt--more than three trillion dollars--is
not owed by the Continental United States. It is the federal United
States that had authority to borrow bank credit. When Congress worked
for Continental United States, it could only borrow gold or silver, so
the national debt was borrowed in the name of the federal United States.
The federal United States has been bankrupt since 1938, but the federal
United States had to trap the States into assuming the debt obligation
of the federal debt.

In the Uniform Commercial Code, we find the term, 'accommodation party.'
How did the states become the 'accommodation party' to the federal debt?
The federal government, through our money system, made the states deal
in Federal Reserve Notes, which means that everything the states do is
'colorable.' Under the 'colorable' jurisdiction of the Uniform
Commercial Code, all of the states are the accommodation party to the
federal debt.

Now the concern is to find out how we can get out of this situation. I
told the Governor that in the Common Law and the Law of
Merchants--that's the International Law Merchant--there is a term called
no-interest contract. A no-interest contract is void and
unenforceable. What is a no-interest contract?

                        NO-INTEREST CONTRACT

If I were to insure a house that did not belong to me, that would be a
no-interest contract. I would just want the house to burn down. I
would pay a small premium, perhaps a few hundred dollars, and insure it
for 80,000 dollars against fire. Then I would be waiting for it to burn
so I could trade my small premium for $80,000. Under the Common Law and
under international law of the Law Merchant, that is called a
no-interest contract, and it is void and unenforceable in any court.

                        UNCONSCIONABLE CONTRACTS

In the Uniform Commercial Code, no-interest contracts are called
unconscionable contracts. The section on unconscionable contracts
covers more than forty pages in the Anderson Code. The federal United
States has involved the states as the accommodation party to the federal
debt, and I believe we could prove this to be an unconscionable
contract. We should get some litigation into the courts before the
government declares a national emergency, claiming that this state has
no lawful responsibility for the national debt (of the federal United
States), because it became an accommodation party to this debt through
an unconscionable contract. If we have this litigation before the
courts under International Law when the nation is declared bankrupt, the
creditors would have to settle this matter first, and it would delay
them. They would want the new government to appear to be legitimate, so
they could not just move right in and take over the state, because it
would be in an International Court. This is very important at this
time.

Part 3
                        QUESTIONS AND REVIEW

Note: These are some of the questions asked after the main lecture.
Some are restatements of material presented earlier, but they contain
very valuable information which is worth repeating.


                        COURTROOM TECHNIQUES

Question: How did you 'box in' the Judge?

This is easy to do if you don't know too much. I didn't know too much,
but I boxed them in. You must play a little dumb.

If you are arrested and you go into court, just remember that in a
criminal action, you have to understand the law or it is a reversible
error for the court to try you. If you don't understand the law, they
can't try you.

In any traffic case or tax case you are called into court and the judge
reads the law and then asks, -Do you understand the charges?' Defendant:
No, Your Honor, I do not. Judge: Well, what's so difficult about that
charge? Either you drove the wrong way on a one-way street or you
didn't. You can only go one way on that street, and if you go the other
way it's a fifty dollar fine. What's so difficult about  this that you
don't understand? D: Well, Your Honor, it's not the letter of the law,
but rather the nature of the law that I don't understand. The Sixth
Amendment of the Constitution gives me the right to request the court to
explain the nature of any action against me, and upon my request, the
court has the duty to answer. I have a question about the nature of
this action. J: Well, what is that--what do you want to know? Always
ask them some easy questions first, as this establishes that they are
answering.

You ask:
D: Well, Your Honor, is this a Civil or a Criminal Action?
J: It is criminal. (If it were a civil action there could be no
fine, so it has to be criminal)
D: Thank you, Your Honor, for telling
me that. Then the record will show that this action against (your
name) is a criminal action, is that right?
J: Yes. D: I would like
to ask another question about this criminal action. There are two
criminal jurisdictions mentioned in the Constitution: one is under the
Common Law, and the other deals with International Maritime Contracts,
under an Admiralty Jurisdiction. Equity is Civil, and you said this is
a Criminal action, so it seems it would have to be under either the
Common Law, or Maritime Law. But what puzzles me, Your Honor, is that
there is no corpus delecti here that gives this court a jurisdiction
over my person and property under the Common Law. Therefore, it doesn't
appear to me that this court is moving under the Common Law.
J: No, I can assure you this court is not moving under the Common Law.
D: Well, thank you, Your Honor, but now you make the charge against me even
more difficult to understand. The only other criminal jurisdiction
would apply only if there was an International Maritime Contract
involved, I was a party to it, it had been breached, and the court was
operating in an Admiralty Jurisdiction. I don't believe I have ever
been under any International Maritime contract, so I would deny that one
exists. I would have to demand that such a contract, if it does exist,
be placed into evidence, so that I may contest it. But surely, this
court is not operating under an Admiralty Jurisdiction. You just put
the words in the judges mouth.
J: No, I can assure you, we're not operating under an Admiralty
Jurisdiction. We're not out in the ocean somewhere--we're right here in
the middle of the State of __(any state)___. No, this is not an
Admiralty Jurisdiction.
D: Thank you Your Honor, but now I am more puzzled than ever. If this
charge is not under the Common Law, or under Admiralty--and those are
the only two criminal jurisdictions mentioned in the Constitution--what
kind of jurisdiction could this court be operating under?
J: It's Statutory Jurisdiction.
D: Oh, thank you, Your Honor. I'm glad you told me that. But I have
never heard of that jurisdiction. So, if I have to defend under that, I
would need to have the Rules of Criminal Procedure for Statutory
Jurisdiction. Can you tell me where I might find those rules? There
are no rules for Statutory Jurisdiction, so the judge will get very
angry at this point and say:
J: If you want answers to questions like that, you get yourself a
licensed attorney--I'm not allowed to practice law from the bench.
D: Oh, Your Honor, I don't think anyone would accuse you of practicing
law from the bench if you just answer a few questions to explain to me
nature of this action, so that I may defend myself.
J: I told you before, I am not going to answer any more questions. Do
you understand that? If you ask any more questions in regards to this,
I'm going to find you in contempt of court! Now if you can't afford a
licensed attorney, the court will provide you with one. But if you want
those questions answered, you must get yourself a licensed attorney.
D: Thank you, Your Honor, but let me just see if I got this straight.
Has this court made a legal determination that it has authority to
conduct a criminal action against me, the accused, under a secret
jurisdiction, the rules of which are known only to this court and
licensed attorneys, thereby denying me the right to defend in my own
person? He has no answer for that. The judge will probably postpone
the case and eventually just let it go. In this way, you can be as wise
as a serpent and as harmless as a dove, but you mustn't go into court
with a chip on you shoulder and as a wolf in 'black sheep' country.
Remember Jesus' words, -I send you out as sheep in wolf country, be wise
as a serpent, and harmless as a dove.' Sheep do not attack wolves
directly. Just be an innocent little lamb who just can't understand the
charge, and remember--they can't try you criminally if you don't
understand the charge. That would be automatically a reversible error
on appeal.

                THE SOCIAL SECURITY PROBLEM

If I were a young man, 18 or 20 years old and just starting out in my
first job, I would not want Social Security. With my signature on the
application I would write, 'Without prejudice' UCC 1-207, and I would
reserve my Common Law rights. But why wouldn't I want Social Security
today?

I got into the Social Security system in the 1930's, and I paid into it
dollars that had good purchasing power. Now I'm getting a promised
return in Federal Reserve Notes which have considerably less value. For
example, in 1940, you could buy a deluxe Chevrolet for 800 dollars.
With today's Federal Reserve Notes, that won't buy the rear fenders and
trunk on a new Chevrolet. If I were a young man, I would not want to
put Federal Reserve Notes into Social Security now, and get back
something later like the German mark after World War I--when it took a
billion to buy a loaf of bread. They will give you every Federal
Reserve Note back that they promised you, but it might not buy anything.

                        ASSURANCE

Under the Uniform Commercial Code, you have the right in any agreement,
to demand a guarantee of performance. So, don't go to them and say, -I
want to rescind my Social Security number,' or -I refuse to take it.'
Just take it easy and say, -I would be happy to get a Social Security
number and enter into this contract, but I have a little problem. How
can I have assurance before I enter into this contract that the
purchasing power of the Federal Reserve Notes I get back at the end of
the contract will be as good as the ones that I pay in at the beginning.
They can't guarantee that, and you have a right under the UCC to
assurance of performance under the contract. So tell them, Well, I
can not enter this contract unless the government will guarantee to pay
me at the end of the contract with the same value Federal Reserve Notes
that I'm paying in. Both may be called Federal Reserve Notes, but you
know that these Federal Reserve Notes don't hold their value. I want
assurance on this contract that the Federal Reserve Notes that I get in
my retirement will buy as much as the ones that I'm giving you now in my
working years.' They can't make that guarantee. If they won't give you
that guarantee, just say, -I'd be glad to sign this, but if you can't
guarantee performance under the contract, I'm afraid I can not enter the
contract.

Now, did you refuse or did they refuse? You can get the sections of the
Uniform Commercial Code which grant the right to have assurance that the
contract you have entered will be fulfilled properly--that the return
will equal the investment, and you can reject the contract using the
Code. Using their own system of law, you can show that they cannot make
you get into a contract of that nature. Just approach them innocently
like a lamb.

It is very important to be gentle and humble in all dealings with the
government or the courts--never raise your voice or show anger. In the
courtroom, always be polite, and build the judge up--call him 'Your
Honor.' Give him all the 'honor' he wants. It does no good to be
difficult, but rather to be cooperative and ask questions in a way that
leads the judge to say the things which you need to have in the record.

                        THE COURT REPORTER

In many courts, there will be a regular court reporter. He gets his job
at the judges pleasure, so he doesn't want to displease the judge. The
court reporter is sworn to give an accurate transcript of every word
that is spoken in the courtroom. But if the judge makes a slip of the
tongue, he turns to his court reporter and says, -I think you had better
leave that out of the transcript; just say it got a little too far ahead
of you, and you couldn't quite get everything in.' So this will be
missing from the transcript.

In one case, we brought a licensed court reporter with us and the judge
got very angry and said, -This court has a licensed court reporter right
here, and the record of this court is this court reporter's record. No
other court reporter's record means anything in this court.'

We responded with, 'Of course, Your Honor, we're certainly glad to use
your regular court reporter. But you know, Your Honor, sometimes things
move so fast that a court reporter gets a little behind, and doesn't
quite keep up with it all. Wouldn't it be nice if we had another
licensed court reporter in the courtroom, just in case your court
reporter got a little behind, so that we could fill in from this other
court reporter's data. I'm sure, Your Honor, that you want an accurate
transcript. (I like to use the saying; give a bad dog a good name, and
he'll live up to it!) The judge went along with it, and from that
moment on, he was very careful of what he said.

These are little tricks to getting around in court. This is how to be
wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove when we enter into a courtroom.
There are others using the same information presented here who end up in
jail, handcuffed and hit over the head, because they approach the
situation with a chip on their shoulder. They try to tell the judge
what the law is and that he is a no-good scoundrel and so on. Just be
wise and harmless.

                UCC 1-207 REVIEW

It is so important to know and understand the meaning of Without
prejudice' UCC 1-207, in connection with you signature, that we should
go over this once more. It is very likely that a judge will ask you
what it means. So please learn and understand this carefully: The use
of 'Without prejudice' UCC 1-207,' in connection with my signature
indicates that I have reserved my Common Law right not to be compelled
to perform under any contract that I did not enter into knowingly,
voluntarily, and intentionally. And furthermore, I do not accept the
liability associated with the compelled benefit of any un-revealed
contract or commercial agreement. Once you state that, it is all the
judge needs to hear. Under the Common Law, a contract must be entered
into knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally, by both parties, or it
can be declared void and unenforceable. You are claiming the right not
to be compelled to perform under any contract that you did not enter
into knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally. And you do not accept
the liability associated with the compelled benefit of any unrevealed
contract or agreement.

The compelled benefit is the privilege to use Federal Reserve Notes to
discharge your debts with limited liability rather than to pay your
debts with silver coins. It is a compelled benefit, because there are
no silver coins in circulation. You have to eat, and you can only buy
food with the medium of exchange provided by the government. You are
not allowed to print your own money, so you are compelled to use theirs.
This is the compelled benefit of an unrevealed commercial agreement. If
you have not made a valid, timely and explicit reservation of your
rights under UCC 1-207, and you simply exercise this benefit rendered by
government, you will be obligated, under an implied agreement, to obey
every statute, ordinance and regulation passed by government, at all
levels--federal, state and local.

                        IN CONCLUSION

The editor of this transcript has taken great liberties in putting this
to paper in a effort to make it readable and somewhat compact. He
wishes to offer his gratitude to Howard Freeman for the opportunity to
work with information so absolutely vital to our survival as dignified,
unenslaved human beings. He must also ask Mr. Freeman's forgiveness for
any errors committed in getting this in print. Its purpose, as stated
in the Foreword, is to make this knowledge and wisdom available to as
many people as will take the time and trouble to read it. This is meant
to be supplemental to Mr. Freeman's recorded lectures, not a
substitute. Indeed, there is no substitute for hearing him present this
material in his own words. It is not just the law and the facts that
are important here, but the way they are used. His numerous reminders
of Jesus' commission to be -...like sheep among wolves...' cannot be
overstated, and is certainly good advice to us in all dealings--not just
in court or with the government. Hearing him explain this in his own
words brings to life the practical application and usefulness of being
-wise' and -harmless.' In fact, after being introduced to this
approach, it becomes difficult to imagine that any other way of
defending oneself from the government would be effective.

It goes without saying that none of this information presented here is
in any way, shape or form offered as legal advice. For that, as you
know, you must -get yourself a licensed attorney.'

Having said that, I feel obliged to point out that one of the most
difficult aspects of dealing with a licensed attorney--even a good
one--may be knowing just whose side he is on (he is, after all, an
officer of the court)! So for those of us who have concluded that
having an attorney means that you will soon be chained, gagged and lead
to the gallows, this information may be in-dispensable. For the
extraordinary challenges of appearing in court in one's own person--pro
per--there are few reliable sources of information. Learning to defend
ourselves, that is, being responsible instead of turning over one more
area of our lives to -professionals'- may be the only way to have any
chance of digging ourselves out of this pit of legal tyranny. Perhaps
the greatest problem we face in education today is the matter of
widespread legal illiteracy.

Naturally, there will always be a number of people who just don't care
about these issues who either: (1), have a soft life which is supported
and maintained by this secret system of law and the institutions which
have grown up around it ('I can make a bundle buying these IRS-seized
homes cheap and reselling them'), or (2), don't believe that anything
can be done about it ('you can't fight city hall'), or (3), simply don't
have the energy or inclination to do anything about it ('that's nice,
but let's see what's on TV'). For those good 'citizens' this whole
effort may seem useless, or even threatening. But it is this writer's
view that God did not intend for us to spend our lives in statutory
slavery for the benefit of a handful of secret world manipulators, even
if the 'masters' grant us some token pleasures and diversions. Human
dignity requires much more than entertainment. The door is there and
the key exists; we must find it and we must use it to return to freedom!

Let us discover the mistakes we have made, let us find the truth, let us
apply it with meekness and wisdom and let us gently but firmly reclaim
the precious freedom which we have so foolishly given up. September 22,
1991.
