In addition to defrauding the People by using “Words of Art” to change the meanings of words, the IRS also uses the Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.) as a tool of extortion to steal your substance under the guise of law. The Legislative History of the Federal Tax Lien Act of 1966, P.L. 89-719, explains that the entire taxing and monetary systems were placed under the Uniform Commercial Code. The U.C.C. is the code that regulates all negotiable instruments.
It was previously called the Law Merchant and the Negotiable Instrument Law. The U.C.C. has been grossly abused by the IRS. It is essential that we understand how the UCC operates in order to have the upper hand in our dealings with the IRS. The essential elements of the Commercial Law are good, being based upon:
- Good faith action.
- Clean hands doctrine.
- Fair business practices.
- Full disclosure.
- Duty of care.
- Just compensation.
- Equal protection of the law.
- Mercy.
- Grace.1.
Under the Laws of Commerce, Truth is Sovereign
The foundation of the Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.) is Commercial Law. The foundation of Commercial Law is based upon certain universal, eternally just, valid, moral precepts and truths.
The basis of Commercial Law is the Law of Exodus (i.e. The 10 Commandments) of the Old Testament and Judaic (Mosaic) Orthodox Hebrew Commercial law. The Laws of Commerce have remained unchanged for at least six thousand years and form the basis of western civilization, if not all nations. This law of commerce therefore applies universally throughout the world.
Real Commercial Law is non-judicial and is prior and superior to, the basis of, and cannot be set aside or overruled by the statutes of any government, legislature, governmental or quasi-governmental agencies, courts, judges, and law enforcement agencies, which are under an inherent obligation to uphold said Commercial Law. Commercial Law is a “War of Truth” expressed in the form of an intellectual weapon called an Affidavit.
An Affidavit is merely a written list of facts or truths signed under penalty of perjury and usually notarized. The person composing and signing an affidavit is called the “affiant”. It is “survival of the fittest” where the last unrebutted stands triumphant.
In the Laws of Commerce, the eternal and unchanging principles of the law are:
- A workman is worthy of his hire. Authorities: Exodus 20:15; Lev. 19:13; Matt. 10:10; Luke 10:7; II Tim. 2:6. Legal maxim: “It is against equity for freemen not to have the free disposal of their own property.
- All are equal under the law (God’s Law-Moral and Natural Law). Authorities: Exodus 21:23-25; Lev. 24:17-21; Deut. 1:17, 19:21; Matt. 22:36-40; Luke 10:17; Col. 3:25. Legal maxims: “No one is above the law.”; “Commerce, by the law of nations, ought to be common, and not to be converted into a monopoly and the private gain of a few.”
- In commerce, truth is sovereign. See Exodus 20:16; Psalms 117:2; John 8:32; II Cor. 13:8. Legal maxim: “To lie is to go against the mind.” Oriental proverb: “Of all that is good, sublimity is supreme.”
- Truth is expressed in the form of an Affidavit. See Lev. 5:4-5; Lev. 6:3-5; Lev. 19:11-13; Num. 30:2; Matt. 5:33; James 5:12.
- A matter must be expressed to be resolved. See Heb. 4:16; Phil. 4:5; Eph. 6:19-21. Legal maxim: “He who fails to assert his rights has none.”
- An unrebutted affidavit stands as truth in commerce. See 1 Pet. 1:25; Heb. 6:13-15. Legal maxim: “He who does not deny, admits.”
- An unrebutted affidavit becomes a judgment in commerce. See Heb. 6:16-17. Any proceeding in court, tribunal, or arbitration forum consists of a contest, or “duel,” of commercial affidavits wherein the points remaining unrebutted in the end stand as the truth and the matters to which the judgment of the law is applied.
- He who leaves the field of battle first (does not respond to Affidavit) loses by default. See Book of Job; Matt 10:22. Legal maxim: “He who does not repel a wrong when he can occasions it.”
- Sacrifice is the measure of credibility. One who is not damaged, put at risk, or willing to swear an oath on his commercial liability for the truth of his statements and legitimacy of his actions has no basis to assert claims or charges and forfeits all credibility and right to claim authority. See Acts 7, life/death of Stephen. Legal maxim: “He who bears the burden ought also to derive the benefit.”
- A lien or claim, under commercial law, can only be satisfied by one of the following actions. See Gen. 2-3; Matt 4; Revelation. Legal maxim: “If the plaintiff does not prove his case , the defendant is absolved.”
10.1. A rebuttal Affidavit of Truth, supported by evidence, point-by-point.
10.2. Payment.
10.3. Agreement.
10.4. Resolution by a jury according to the rules of common law.
Because truth is sovereign in commerce and everyone is responsible for propagating the truth in all speaking, writing, and acting, all commercial processes function via affidavit certified and sworn on each affiants commercial liability as “true, correct, and complete,” attesting under oath re the validity, relevance, and veracity of all matters stated, and likewise demanded. Usually in written matters, such as on an IRS Form 1040, 8300, etc., voter registration application, driver’s license application, notary form for document certification, application for a Treasury Direct Account, and on nearly every document that those who run the System desire anyone to sign in a commercially binding matter, signature is required under penalty of perjury “true, correct, and complete.” In a court setting, however, testimony (oral commercial affidavit) is stated in the judicial equivalent by being sworn to be “the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God.” As well the need for asserting all matters under solemn oath of personal, commercial, financial, and legal liability for the validity of each and every statement, participant must provide material evidence, i.e ledgering/bookkeeping, substantiating that each fact or entry is true, valid, relevant, and verifiable. Without said acceptance of liability and facts provided to support one’s assertions, no credibility is established.
2. An Unrebutted Affidavit Stands as Truth “Court of Appeals may not assume the truth of allegations in a pleading which are contradicted by affidavit. Where affidavits are directly conflicting on material points. It is not possible for the district judge to “weight” the affidavits in order to resolve disputed issues; except in those rare cases where the facts alleged in an affidavit are inherently incredible, and can be so characterized solely by a reading of the affidavit, the district judge has no basis for a determination of credibility.” Data Disc, Inc. v. Systems Tech. Assocs., Inc. 557 F.2d 1280 (9th Cir. 1977) A major shortcoming in Codified Commercial Law that the IRS likes to capitalize on is that an un-refuted claim is presumed to be true. That is why the citizen MUST always and immediately respond to any and all erroneous claims made by the IRS.
According to Commercial Law, the rebuttal must be made in 72 hours from the time of presentment.
The rebuttal for an erroneous tax bill can be as simple as, “I don’t owe this and this is not a true bill of commerce.” One of the necessities of Commercial Law is that all affidavits must be signed and attested to be “true, correct, and complete.” The IRS cannot and does not attest its “presentments” to individuals. When properly utilized, the ultimate advantage in Commercial Law goes to the Sovereign who has the final, un-rebuttable truth on his or her side as an affidavit. By understanding the rules that the IRS operates under, it becomes a simple matter to beat them at their own game! Commercial Law is non-judicial.
That’s how the IRS takes away Citizen’s property without a day in Court. However, Patriots are currently using the non-judicial aspect of the Commercial Law to lien the property of corrupt Government officials who do not uphold their oath and known duty to support the Constitution. The U.C.C. doesn’t acknowledge the sovereignty of the people or the Bill of Rights. It only deals with paper. U.C.C. §1-103.6 is your “recourse” from the U.C.C. into the Common Law and the Bill of Rights . It states that the Code (U.C.C.) must be in harmony with the Common Law , as follows: 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 …The code cannot read to preclude [prevent or exclude] a Common Law action.”There is a remedy, within the Uniform Commercial Code that you can use to reserve all of your fundamental and common law rights and remove yourself from the unjust provisions of the U.C.C. and other codes which are contradictory or not in harmony with your rights and justice.
For example, such reservation retains your Common Law right not to be compelled under a commercial agreement that you did not knowingly, voluntarily, and intentionally enter into. Further, the common law is based upon “justice, truth, and reason.”
A reservation of your common law rights also takes you out of the injustice of the absurd “presumptive law” where red is green. Also, by reserving your Common Law rights, you can compel the prosecutor in any case against you to file a valid “verified complaint” in which he would need to bring forth a “party injured by your actions”.
You are also reserving all of your inalienable rights given to you by GOD, impairing the obligation of contracts in Article 1 Section 10 of the United States Constitution and guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, such as not being a witness against yourself, the right to be secure in your person, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures, the right to a jury, the right to not be held for a capital crime without a grand jury indictment, etc. There are three judicially recognized forms of testimony – affidavits, depositions and direct oral examination. Unless facts of any given case are verified by the testimony of a competent witness, a judgment is void and can be vacated at any time. The principle has the same application in administrative as well as judicial forums.
In the event there isn’t a competent witness to verify facts through one of the three recognized forms of testimony, the presenter does not have subject matter jurisdiction. No judgment or ruling other than declaring lack of subject matter jurisdiction can be made. There are two essential elements to a case – facts and law. In order to secure a favorable judgment or ruling, the advocate must be able to prove facts of the case and then must prove application of law to whatever facts he can prove. Where tax issues are concerned, the taxman must prove application of taxing and liability statutes to the facts of any given case.
In the event he isn’t able to meet these requirements, he doesn’t have a valid claim. Through the years we have seen a variety of sworn statements people described as affidavits. Unfortunately, most break one or both of the cardinal rules that default affidavits. Affidavits are testimony that set out facts. They cannot state conclusions of law and they cannot be argumentative. If an instrument does either, it doesn’t qualify as testimony.
Due process in the course of the common law, which governs the American system of jurisprudence, requires facts and law to be established separately. The jury handles the facts of the case and the judge usually handles the law. Only after both are firmly in place can the trier of fact, which is usually a jury, determine application of law to whatever facts are proven in the case.
Is an IRS examination officer a competent witness who has first-hand knowledge of facts that would make him qualified to sign an affidavit? No, examination officers rely on documents produced by and testimony of third parties. In fact, in the context of examination procedural rules published at 26 CFR § 601.105, examination officers are supposed to be impartial; they are prohibited from favoring the government or the taxpayer when making liability decisions.
In the event that they receive a protest from a taxpayer, they must resolve all contested matters of fact and law before proceeding further. The officer can
- directly resolve the controversy,
- request a national office technical advice memorandum, or
- refer the case to the appeals office.
This basic mandatory procedure is reiterated in § 4.10.8 of the Internal Revenue Manual. The only other alternative is to withdraw and/or rescind whatever notice and demand he or she issued.
Essential elements for examination officer consideration are listed in § 4.10.7 of the Internal Revenue Manual.3. Requirements for a valid Affidavit In order to be a valid, an affidavit must satisfy the following four criteria:
- Must identify who the affiant is.
- Must identify who the notary is.
- All statements made must be based on personal knowledge.
- Any statements made that are false are subject to penalty of perjury within the jurisdiction of the court that will try the case.
Affidavits cannot and should not make legal arguments. They should stick to facts and avoid law as much as possible. When composing affidavits, make either short, positive statements of fact or negative averments. Place the burden of proof on your opponent. Don’t cit authorities or incorporate materials by reference unless you prepared the referenced material and it is signed and dated. Do not make a statement like, “I am not a taxpayer”— that’s an opinion. Instead state, “I am not in receipt of any document which verifies that I am a taxpayer owing a tax to the treasury”— that’s a fact!
Such words as "without prejudice," "under protest," or the like are sufficient.
This “Reservation of Rights” can be exercised by making the following notation above your signature on contracts and agreements and other documents requiring your signature:

Your greatest protection is provided by reserving your rights in writing, preferably on every document you sign.
However, the U.C.C. does state that it is not a requirement that such reservation of rights be written but they must be explicit. Explicit means fully and clearly expressed or demonstrated; leaving nothing implied.
The common debtor Citizen, or someone interested in the rights of American Citizens did not write the Uniform Commercial Code or its predecessors, the Law Merchant or The Negotiable Instrument Law. The history of this Code shows that it was originally created by “barbarians” to codify and give the semblance of legality to “robbery” by the creditors! These documents were written by and for the benefit of creditors, without any “separation of powers” protections, without due process for the debtor, and without respect for any equity the debtor may have invested in property that the creditor may seize XE "ENFORCEMENT: Seize".
You can view the Uniform Commercial Code yourself on the web at: http://www.law.cornell.edu/ucc/ucc.table.html
The law library should carry two editions of the U.C.C. compiled by two different publishers. The version that is used here and is the easiest to understand is the Anderson version. It is written in plain English.
The Notary Certificate of Default Method: VERY EFFECTIVE!
The Notary Protest Method (NPM) is an administrative technique based on the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) that involves the presentment of strictly commercial negotiable instruments to financial institutions such as banks, creditors, mortgage companies, etc. Commercial negotiable instruments include things such as promissory notes, bills of exchange, bonds, and checks. The NPM method provides an administrative, non-judicial method that uses a notary public to create certified, court-admissible evidence that the financial institution has dishonored a financial instrument that you want them to accept. Statutes exist on the law books in many states documenting and regulating how and under what circumstances this method may be used in several states. If you go on the internet and search for the phrase "notarial protest", you will find that this is a procedure used all over the world.
The Notary Protest method has been adapted and modified for use in such situations against the IRS and your state taxing authorities in a revised process we call the “Notary Certificate of Default Method."
WARNING: We caution that you should be very careful not to mistakenly call this modified administrative procedure the “Notary Protest Method” because it does not relate to commercial negotiable instruments and because if you do, you could actually cause the state to pull the license on the notary you are using. State laws regulating notary publics are very specific and a notary can get in trouble with the state for improperly executing the Notary Protest Method documented in their statutes. When you also consider that you may attempt to use the notary protest method against state taxing authorities and these are the same authorities who license notaries, then you want to keep your notary public’s whistle very clean so they aren’t the object of state retribution for any reason. Therefore, be very careful in the language you use to describe what you are doing by not calling it the “notary protest method”.
Several individuals claim a 100% success rate against state taxing authorities and the IRS using the Notary Certificate of Default Method, and we therefore encourage its use. The reason it works is because it is the same technique used by the IRS! There are several approaches similar to it, which are called such names as:
Nihil dicit judgment
Default judgment
The approach is most effective within the administrative realm, but it is also effective in a litigation environment as well when properly used following a court judgment. The basis of this approach is the Bible and common law. Jesus said in the Bible in Matt. 5:25 the following:“
Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are on the way with him, lest your adversary deliver you to the judge, the judge hand you over to the officer, and you be thrown into prison.” [Matt. 5:25]
When Jesus said above to agree with your adversary, He didn't necessarily mean to unconditionally agree with them: you can always conditionally agree with the person you have issues with. When you make a conditional agreement, then you in effect have honored their request but imposed conditions to your performance of their request. If they respond by saying that they won’t meet your conditions, then they have defaulted and dishonored your presentment and you are then legally entitled in a court of law to a default judgment or summary judgment in your favor and against them. To further explain how this technique works under the Uniform Commercial Code, if a person presents a financial claim against you under commercial law, then you have exactly four options for responding as follows and you must pick one:
Responses to a claim under the UCC
# Result of your action ------- Your Response ------- Obligation on claimant to get his claim satisfied.
1 --- Honor -------- Perform or provide what is demanded ----- None.
2 --- Honor --------- Conditional acceptance ---------- Must perform under the conditions you set in order to have a claim against you and if the claimant won’t, then they have dishonored your offer and defaulted, and must also surrender the right to their claim against you.
3 --- Dishonor -------- Say you won’t perform and raise a legal issue --- Since you have defaulted and not disputed the basis for their claim, then the claimant can get a court judgment against you for the amount demanded.
4 --- Dishonor --------- Remain silent ------------- Since you have defaulted and not disputed the basis for their claim, then they can get a court judgment against you for the amount demanded.
The key to making this technique work is to make your counterclaim or the conditions of your acceptance reasonable and lawful in the opinion of a judge and a jury. The more conditions you place upon your acceptance, the more difficult it becomes for the claimant to comply and therefore the less likely it is that he will comply and thereby make it necessary for you to perform in accordance with his demands. When applying this method to the IRS, all you are wanting is verification that you owe the debt they say you owe, that they have lawful authority to collect the alleged debt and institute enforcement actions, and that they have followed all relevant law and administrative procedure in the process of establishing the assessment, notifying you of it, and collecting.
When you boil it all down to its fundamental elements, dealing with the IRS or the government essentially becomes a game; and in this game whoever dishonors the other person first in commerce is the one who loses. Our strategy is to let your adversary dishonor you by getting them to argue with you or ignore you. Once they do that you can then go for an administrative judgment against them through the process called the Notary Certificate of Default Method. However, if you dishonor your opponent first then you are the one who loses. Thus, the premise is, you must respond to your adversary and you must conditionally agree with them at every presentment.
The Notary Certificate of Default Method has a way of almost forcing the IRS, any government agency or even a private individual to dishonor you in their interactions with you. This is done through a sequence of notarized correspondences between you and your opponent, which is akin to getting an administrative judgment against someone. The person granting the administrative judgment is the notary who is supervising and monitoring and enforcing your interactions with the third party that you are corresponding with. They provide legal proof that you sent the Conditional Acceptance/Administrative Notice to the third party and proof that there was no response. Since they are notaries and notaries are officers of the court, then an officer of the court certifies with a notarized affidavit provided to you that you sent the conditional acceptance to the claimant and that there was either no response or a dishonor of your offer. The notary is identified in your correspondence as the proper person for the claimant to respond to. The notary then awaits the response of the claimant and when they refuse to respond, then a notarized affidavit from the notary is provided to you indicating they defaulting and granting an administrative law judgment against the claimant that you can take into a court of law to get a summary or default judgment against them.
The Notary Certificate of Default Method provides a very good way to keep your dealings with the IRS and your state taxing authorities at the administrative level and prevents them from needing to escalate to the court level for resolution. Whenever the IRS disagrees with our position on something we are supposed to be able to get an administrative law judge review, but it never happens. A Notary Certificate of Default method is an administrative process done by a notary that one can use to get a remedy to a problem administratively. Notaries are officers of the court and representatives of the State and as such they have much power (as much power as a Magistrate Judge) in that position, although most notaries don't realize that.
There are many things that a conditional acceptance must request as a proof of claim from the IRS. One of our partners, for instance, asks for something like 70-90 different proofs of claim. By making the proof of claim required exhaustive, you overwhelm the IRS by requiring them to produce so many things to meet the burden of proof that there is just no way they will ever respond. In that way, you can practically force the IRS or others to dishonor your conditional acceptance in their transaction or commerce with you.
Where does the Notary Certificate of Default method come into play as far as IRS agents are concerned? Well, anytime an IRS agent contacts you it's always for one of two reasons. They will either be asking for performance if they are an examination agent or asking for money if they are a collection agent. So, when they contact you that means they have made a presumption that they have a claim on you. When you conditionally accept the agent's claim upon proof of claim that it is legitimate, they must either come up with the proof or dishonor it. If they dishonor it, then you send them a notarized “Notice of Default and Opportunity to Cure” letter notifying them that they have defaulted and thereby agreed to your position and you state in the notice that you are giving them one more opportunity to cure the default before the judgment is final and is not appealable. If they refuse to respond to the Notice of Default, then you send them a notarized certificate of default via certified mail. You retain the certified mail receipts for all correspondence you send, and the notary signature on the documents you send allow the documents to be directly admissible as evidence in a court of law.
What about past issues with the IRS? Let's say you argued with the IRS in the past where you already went against the biblical principle in Matt. 5:25 of not arguing with your adversary. Is there any way to go back and revisit that past issue using her method? Yes, it is possible. Nothing is ever closed, because you can always correct your mistake by doing a conditional acceptance. The way you reopen the past issue is by asking the IRS for an accounting of the particular tax year in question. They will give you what they say you owe and at that point you accept it conditionally and go through the notarial protest process.
At the UCC seminar described above,we showed a recent example of how she did a Notary Certificate of Default on Budget Rent A Car. She rented a car from that company for a price that was supposed to be only $45, but they charged her something like $180 instead. Budget wouldn't refund the overage even when she showed them that what she signed said the price would only be $45. So, she went through the Notary Certificate of Default method just like she would with the IRS. She accepted the $180 claim they made against her upon proof of claim that she did not sign that document that says it would only cost her $45. There was more to it than that, but that is the gist of what she did. Anyway, now that she has her certificate of default in place, she is currently asking Budget Rent A Car to allow her to put them on a UCC-1 lien. Of course, the company is not going to agree to that. But after she asks them that then she can go ahead and do it anyway since they will have lost at the administrative level. The amount that she is going to put on the lien will be much higher than the amount Budget charged her. Evidently, she will be including damages as part of her UCC-1 financing statement. Once she gets that UCC-1 filed, Budget's credit rating will go south. The fact that notaries can do an administrative adjudication like that represents a lot of power. That's why this process is kept low-key in the notary community.
Anytime you deal with the IRS it's entirely a commercial process because 27 CFR § 72.11 says violations of all revenue laws are commercial crimes. That means any interaction that you have with the IRS is a commercial process since it involves revenue laws. Therefore, the laws of the Uniform Commercial Code apply there. That's why the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) applies when the IRS tries to come collect from you; it's all commercial. Thus, the Notary Certificate of Default Method is expected to be quite effective because it is so similar to the notary protest method that state government authorize in state statutes.
When searching the internet we found a court case where someone put a UCC lien on this ship after it docked in a harbor, which froze it from leaving. The captain went through the process of doing a notarial protest and won by default. That administrative judgment allowed him to take back his ship and sail out of the harbor free and clear without the hassle and expense of going to court. This just goes to show how effective the notarial protest can be and why we should be more familiar with it.
When it comes to tax matters we are supposed to have that kind of remedy with an administrative law judge review, but nobody can ever get it.
If you want to do a Notary Certificate of Default yourself, you will have difficulty finding a notary who knows how to do the process. According to Victoria Joy, there are only four types of notaries that know how to do notary protests. They involve certain notaries who work with debt collection companies, banks, real estate companies. These people do notarial protests all the time, yet the process is kept hidden from most other notaries. If they know how to do notarial protests, then you can have them apply the same process towards administrative dealings with the IRS, but just be sure you don’t call it a “notarial protest” so you don’t get your notary in trouble or cause him or her to lose their license.
An example here: on how to find a notary in California to work with and educated her on how to do the Notary Certificates of Default. She had her notary call up their notary association in California to ask about how to do the notary protest procedure. The guy whom she talked to there told her she couldn't do that. She mentioned to him that she had already found it in the California statutes (see Commercial Code section §3-505.
So, this party who needed a notary had her notary call the California Notary Association the next day and try a different approach.
This time she told the man that she had a client who was a non U.S. Citizen who needed to do a notarial protest. When she mentioned non U.S. Citizen he said, "Well, you didn't tell me that yesterday." Then he told her about a place to go where they teach notaries how to do the notarial protest procedure. This tells us that there is an effort to keep just about everyone in our country ignorant of this process.

How to Craft Good Conditions/Questions:
In crafting your conditions for proof of the government’s claim, try to follow the below guidelines:
1. The conditions should focus on demanding a proof and evidence of their claim that you are liable. This keeps the burden of proof on your opponent instead of you.
2. Avoid arguing the law and stick to the evidence and the facts. Remember that judges rule on the law and juries rule on the facts in any court trial. You want to keep the judge out of the dispute process and keep the jury in control of any legal proceeding that might result from the dispute. Below are some examples that show arguments about the law and a way to translate these arguments into arguments about fact:
Legal arguments translated into arguments of fact.
#. Example argument about the law ----
Argument translated into an appropriate argument about facts:
1. I am not a “U.S. citizen” ----------- I am not in receipt of evidence by the government demonstrating that I am a “U.S. citizen”
2. You do not have the legal authority to assess me. --- 1. I am not in receipt of any statute and corresponding implementing regulation that together authorize you to assess me with a tax liability. or 2. I am not in receipt of the pocket commission or pocket commission serial number for the assessment officer showing that he has authority to do an assessment.
3. You can’t demand a tax return from me because I can’t be compelled to
incriminate myself in violation of the Fifth Amendment. ---------------"I am not in receipt of evidence from the
government explaining how I can file a tax return without violating my
Fifth Amendment right to not be compelled to incriminate myself.
Remember that if there are no disputes between you and the government over facts or evidence or proof, then judges have the discretion to deny you a jury trial because all the issues are legal! A trial without a jury is called a summary judgment and you want to avoid it at all costs!
Once the government shoe horns your case into the summary judgment category, the judge has all the power, you are virtually guaranteed to lose because he will be so corrupt that he will always rule in their favor.
4. A favorite trick of the government is to stipulate to all the facts that you are in dispute with them on so that they can get rid of the jury and put the judge and the government completely in charge of the outcome. Therefore, you should pick evidence and proof that is so controversial that your government opponent would never want to stipulate to it. This will once again keep the power in the hands of the jury.
5. Keep the conditions and evidence demanded as simple as possible and very straightforward. This will ensure that even a jury can understand them and won’t become confused by them, because that is who you want to rule on your dispute. If the jury becomes confused and they have to ask the judge for direction, they will be misled because the judge will be on the government’s side in nearly all cases regarding taxes.
6. The purpose of the conditions is to eliminate damaging and incorrect “presumptions” and “assumptions” that the jury and the judge and the government are likely to have about the tax system. We know from our discussion of “presumptions” in section 2.8.2 of the Great IRS Hoax that there are many false presumptions people make about income taxes. Focus your questions on the core issues about these presumptions as much as possible so that the jury will be alerted to the cognitive dissonance that compliance with the tax laws puts you into. This will really get the jury interested and encourage them to demand answers from the judge that will put the judge in a very compromising position. The jury will see that you as an American who just wants to follow the law can’t follow all the laws because they are simply inconsistent with themselves if you follow the “presumption” that federal personal income taxes are lawful within the 50 states of the union.
Conditional Acceptance/Notary Presentment
APPLICATION TO CALIFORNIA FRANCHISE TAX BOARD:
Here is a simple explanation of how a Notary Certificate of Default Method works. Let's say the California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) sent you a letter saying they determined that you owe $50,000. You send back a notarized affidavit with a proof of service saying that you conditionally accept their offer to pay that amount upon proof of claim. Then you give them a list of what you want to see as proof, which shows that you owed the money to begin with. By conditionally accepting their offer, you make it to where there is no controversy between the two of you. Below is a response that one of our readers sent to the California Franchise Tax Board as a conditional acceptance that successfully got him out of over $100,000 in income tax liabilities! They avoided him like the plague after they got the below conditional acceptance:
Dear Gerald Goldberg:
Upon receiving the first letter from FTB it asked for a 2000 California Tax return or provide an explanation why I was not required to submit one. I sent an Affidavit of Material Facts to explain why I was not required to submit a California Tax Return to FTB. FTB wrote back via a letter saying they were ignoring my Affidavit and demanded I file a California Tax Return. On 00/00/2002 FTB mailed a “NOTICE OF PROPOSED ASSESSMENT” to me. I am returning your original “NOTICE OF PROPOSED ASSESSMENT” as I do not want to retain FTB property unless Gerald Goldberg as agent for the FTB meets the conditions within this conditional acceptance offer.
In an effort to settle this matter in the most efficient manner possible, I accept your demand to submit a California Tax Return and agree to mail Gerald Goldberg agent for the FTB a California Tax Return within fifteen (15) days after Gerald Goldberg of the FTB meets all three (3) of the following conditions:
Condition 1 - I agree to submit a California tax return if Gerald Goldberg representing the FTB can show me how I can file a tax return without waiving any of my “unalienable” 5th amendment rights. I have received copies of my IRS IMF file showing my file was submitted to IRS CID which most likely means I am being criminally investigated. As a layman, there is no way I can be presumed to know if a piece of information reported on a tax return would be incriminating to me or not. Plus I have based my decision on advise from multiple legal professionals which have been unable to tell me how to file a tax return without waiving my rights.
Condition 2 - I agree to submit a California Tax Return if Gerald Goldberg representing the FTB can show me how I can file a tax return without committing perjury when I do not understand all the tax laws and have know way to know if the tax return is true or correct even if a tax professional prepared it for me, therefore, I would be committing perjury to sign the tax return perjury statement when I do not understand all the tax laws.
Condition 3 - I agree to submit a California Tax return if Gerald Goldberg representing the FTB can show me how I can file a tax return without committing perjury when I am specifically “without” the United States, therefore, any perjury statement I sign must match the perjury statement shown in 28 U.S.C. 1746(1). I can not be required to commit perjury to meet your demand to file a California Tax Return that uses the perjury statement format from 28 U.S.C. 1746(2) which declares I am specially “within” the United States, when I am not.
In a further effort to settle this matter in the most efficient manner possible, I also accept your “NOTICE OF PROPOSED ASSESSMENT” and agree to send Gerald Goldberg agent for the FTB full payment within fifteen (15) days after Gerald Goldberg of the FTB meets all of the following eight (8) conditions:
Condition 1 - Provide the statute and enforcing regulation which clearly and unequivocally requires me a native born Citizen of the California Republic to submit a California Tax Return.
Condition 2 - Provide the statute and enforcing regulation which clearly and unequivocally makes me a native born Citizen of the California Republic “liable” for California income tax when I specially DO NOT volunteer to submit a California tax return and DO NOT waive my 5th Amendment Rights by submitting and signing a California tax return.
Condition 3 - Provide proof your “NOTICE OF PROPOSED ASSESSMENT” is authorized by statute and enforcing regulation proving FTB has authority to do a substitute return and issue a “Notice of Proposed Assessment” to a native born Citizen of the California Republic.
Condition 4 - Provide proof your “NOTICE OF PROPOSED ASSESSMENT” as calculated by the FTB using the single individual status is accurate.
Condition 5 - Provide proof your “NOTICE OF PROPOSED ASSESSMENT” as calculated by the FTB using no dependents is accurate.
Condition 6 - Provide proof your “NOTICE OF PROPOSED ASSESSMENT” as calculated by the FTB relying on the National Investor Services Corp reported 1099 figures, as your basis of fact, does indeed contain accurate figures regarding me.
Condition 7 - Provide the statute which show clearly and unequivocally that the National Investor Services Corp 1099 is reporting a “privileged” activity that created a taxable “source” income for me a native born Citizen of the California Republic to be subject to California Income Tax.
Condition 8 - Provide proof your “NOTICE OF PROPOSED ASSESSMENT” is supported by FTB Form 2966 Certificate of Tax Due and Delinquency which has been properly dated and executed by an authorized representative with the state seal affixed as required by law to provide a proper tax assessment liability.Gerald Goldberg as representative for the FTB you have fifteen (15) days from receipt of this conditional acceptance to respond to this conditional acceptance, on a point by point basis, via sworn affidavit, under your full commercial liability, signing under penalty of perjury that the facts contained therein, are true, correct and complete and not misleading. Declarations are an insufficient response, as declarations permit lying by omission, which no honorable draft may contain.
Gerald Goldberg your failure to respond and any activity by FTB proceeding to secure payment on the “NOTICE OF PROPOSED ASSESSMENT” before responding to this Conditional Acceptance shall be deemed as agreement with the facts stated in the attached Affidavit and shall be deemed an automatic dishonor of this conditional acceptance, #7001 2510 0001 xxxx xxxx and agreement of Gerald Goldberg to the immediate payment of $30,000.
Signed from “without” the “United States” in accordance with 28 U.S.C. §1746(1). All rights reserved without prejudice.

Enclosures: Verified Affidavit of Material Facts in Support of Conditional Acceptance
Note: Now, when someone sends the Financial Tax Board (FTB) a proof of claim like that, the agency usually will not respond to it. Anytime the FTB does respond though they will just send their "5th Amendment letter" that isn’t signed so the person sending it can’t be held liable. That is where they say they don't have to provide you anything and they aren't going to talk to you anymore. They say that the courts have ruled this or that and the 16th Amendment allows them to collect taxes, etc. Well, when they refuse to answer or give evasive responses like this that is what is called a dishonor. Once they dishonor you no matter whether it's done through silence or done through anonymous argument, either way it's a dishonor. The Uniform Commercial Code says that when there is a dishonor, they are in default and you can get an administrative judgment when your records show that they are in default.
At that point, you can go to a notary and show them that you gave the FTB ten days to take your acceptance of their proposal, yet they dishonored it. You tell the notary that you want them to contact the FTB for you in their capacity as a notary and ask the FTB to accept your offer. So, the notary takes it upon themselves as an officer of the court to contact the FTB. They notify the FTB that you came before them and signed a statement declaring that they dishonored your conditional offer. Then the notary asks the FTB to send their acceptance of your offer back to them. When the FTB doesn't do it within the time allowed the notary contacts them a second time. Then when the FTB dishonors the notary again with their silence the notary gives you a notarized certificate of default. Once you have such a certificate, it is equivalent to an administrative judgment.
You can then go to the FTB and tell them they've dishonored; therefore, they've lost. Then you ask for their permission to put them on a UCC-1 financing statement where you will now get your judgment from them. The FTB will usually ignore you here too, but it doesn't matter whether they give you permission or not. You can put the FTB on the UCC-1 financing statement anyway because you have an administrative judgment via a notarized certificate of default. With a notarized certificate of default in hand you can hit them for damages with a UCC-1 lien.
For reference, a proof of claim is any document signed under penalties of perjury or that is notarized which can be presented in a court of law as evidence of either acceptance or default. Signing under penalties of perjury means they swear that their presentment is true, correct and complete, yet the FTB never does that. The only time the FTB will ever sign a proof of claim is in bankruptcy court. However, ARL proved that anyone who signs a bankruptcy claim has no firsthand knowledge that everything put down on such a claim is true and correct. The FTB always claims to have a secured claim on a bankruptcy proof of claim; but all you have to do is challenge them to produce the UCC-1 financing statement or the ORIGINAL NOTE under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), which secures that claim. Guess what folks, they don't have it! They operate entirely on hearsay evidence that is inadmissible in court, and neither can the DOJ or FTB attorney act as a witness against you in court.
