Citizenship, Nationality, and Tax Status

The following diagrams are provided to more clearly illustrate the difference between citizenship in
terms of nationality and citizenship in terms of domicile, and how not knowing the difference greatly affects
your legal standing with regard to the Federal government and the Internal Revenue Service.

What people colloquially regard as citizenship is statutorily regarded as nationality membership
in a nation. However, in law, the term citizenship can and is frequently used to connote domicile a term
used to reflect the intended final or permanent residence of a person within or without the boundaries of a
given territory of a nation domicile is a political choice such as religious or political party affiliation.

Because the term citizenship is so broadly used colloquially with regard to ones nationality, a
misapplication of law can, and frequently does occur when citizenship is used to connote domicile within
the boundaries of the United States of America. This misunderstanding is not a problem when regarding
citizens under the jurisdiction of a national government, as their political status as well as their civil status is
for all practical purposes one-in-the-same. However, in a federal government such as that of the United
States, there are two major territorial subdivisions within the nation, each of which is regarded separately
under Organic Law, and consequently under federal statutes. The confusion is exacerbated by the fact that
each of the major territorial subdivisions of the nation is referred to as the United States, and each falls
within the nation known as the United States of America colloquially called the United States.

The root of the potential confusion is quite easily understood. The nation is called the United
States, and each of its two major territorial subdivisions is called the United States. Citizenship in terms
of membership in the nation called the United States is obtained through the citizenship clause of the
Fourteenth Amendment, and statutorily regarded as nationality this commutes ones political status.
Citizenship in terms of domicile within or without the boundaries of one of the major territorial subdivisions
of the nation commutes ones civil status. Context, whether it is nationality or domicile, as well as which
United States is to be regarded for the purposes of establishing each respectively is of paramount
importance, as this establishes both political status and civil status. Nationality and domicile must not be
conjoined as being one-in-the-same, but regarded separately under federal law if one does not wish to
surrender critical rights and legal status.

The practical effect of all of this obfuscation is the creation of a system by the United States
government which allows for the total usurpation of constitutional protections through voluntary compliance
mechanisms in the form of a private contract nexus with the government. In the course of such a contract,
an American National will declare a federal domicile, and thus be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of
Congress and no longer protected by the Bill of Rights and other provisions in the Constitution which are
designed to protect Americans in the 50 States. The most important being the levy of an unapportioned
direct tax on the property of Americans, which is still restricted in the 50 States, unrestricted gun ownership
and carriage, and the regulation of civil rights versus unalienable rights which exist naturally in the 50
States and are not privileges granted by Congress. Additionally, the addictive and destructive nature of the
social welfare state serves to only make the beneficiaries more dependent on their once servant
government, it does not promote the general welfare, but rather provides the general welfare, and in the
long run serves to destroy the liberty and private property rights of the citizenry. This is by design and the
system benefits those who designed it.

Please be certain the methods of the United States government are constitutional and legal. This
includes the most recently passed healthcare law. The healthcare law is constitutional because it is
something that is volunteered for. If an American volunteers away his or her statutorily foreign nonresident
alien tax status by affirming oneself as a U.S. Citizen during a Social Security Number application,
subsequent submission of a W-4 in the private-sector, and subsequent Form 1040 tax filing, the mandates
of the socialized healthcare law become mandatory. Most volunteered for socialized medicine when they
were born and obtained an SSN they just didnt know it because they dont understand the system.

Take heart America there is a remedy! Proper understanding is the first step to reversing the
damage. You have to understand where you have been deceived before you can obtain your remedy.

The Several Meanings of the Term United States

"The term 'United States' may be used in any one of several senses. (1) It may
be merely the name of a sovereign occupying the position analogous to that of
other sovereigns in the family of nations. (2) It may designate the territory over
which the sovereignty of the United States (G) extends, or (3) it may be the
collective name of the states which are united by and under the Constitution."
[Designations Added]
[Hooven & Allison Co. v. Evatt, 324 U.S. 652, (1945)]


From the above Supreme Court ruling, one can see the term United States has several
meanings, which have been designated (1), (2), (3) and (G). The term United States can mean (1) the
Nation, (2) the Federal territories over which the Federal Governments sovereignty extends, and (3) the
50 Union states united by and under the Constitution. The term United States can also mean (G), the
Federal government itself. These meanings are annotated as follows:

United States The United States of America the Nation (political sense)
United States D.C., Federal Territory and possessions (geographical sense)
United States The 50 Union states (geographical sense)
United States
G
The Federal government (corporate sense)


The Nation referred to as the United States
1
is a political entity comprised of the people (national body-politic),
their government, and territory. The territory of the United States
1
is divided into two major subdivisions the United
States
2
and the United States
3
. The United States
2
comprises the District of Columbia, Federal Territory and
possessions. The United States
3
comprises the 50 sovereign Union states. The Federal Government United States
G

exercises exclusive, territorial jurisdiction over the United States
2
pursuant to art. IV, 3, cl. 2 of the Constitution, and
specified and enumerated subject matter jurisdiction in the United States

pursuant to art. I, 8, cls. 1 18. This aspect
of the Separation of Powers Doctrine was created by design in order to secure the freedoms of Americans.

The following diagram illustrates a closer look at the territorial subdivision of the United States of
America United States

. The authority
for the governance of this territorial subdivision is granted to the Federal government under art. IV, 3, cl.2
and art. I, 8, cl. 17 of the United States Constitution.

Article IV, Section 3, Clause 2

The Congress shall have Power to dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the
Territory or other Property belonging to the United States; and nothing in this Constitution shall be so
construed as to Prejudice any Claims of the United States, or of any particular State.

Article I, Section 8, Clause 17

To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles
square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the
Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of
the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-
Yards, and other needful Buildings;




Incorporated Territory = Full constitutional provisions extended to the Federal possession/territory.
Unincorporated possession = Full constitutional provisions not extended to the Federal possession/territory.
Organized = Organized under an Organic Act of Congress.
Unorganized = Not organized under an Organic Act of Congress.

The United States of 26 USC 7701(a)(9)




In the constitution and laws of the United States the word 'citizen' is generally, if not always, used in a political sense, to
designate one who has the rights and privileges of a citizen of a state or of the United States. It is so used in section 1 of
article 14 of the amendments of the constitution, which provides that 'all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and
subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside,' and that 'no state shall
make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States.' But it is also sometimes
used in popular [legal] language to indicate the same thing as resident, inhabitant, or person.

[Baldwin v. Franks, 120 U.S. 678 (1887)]
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

domicile. A person's legal home. That place where a man has his true, fixed, and permanent home and principal establishment,
and to which whenever he is absent he has the intention of returning. Smith v. Smith, 206 Pa.Super. 310m 213 A.2d 94. Generally,
physical presence within a state and the intention to make it one's home are the requisites of establishing a "domicile" therein. The
permanent residence of a person or the place to which he intends to return even though he may actually reside elsewhere. A
person may have more than one residence but only one domicile. The legal domicile of a person is important since it, rather
than the actual residence, often controls the jurisdiction of the taxing authorities and determines where a person may
exercise the privilege of voting and other legal rights and privileges. The established, fixed, permanent, or ordinary dwelling
place or place of residence of a person, as distinguished form his temporary and transient, though actual, place of residence. It is
his legal residence, as distinguished from his temporary place of abode; or his home, as distinguished from a place to which
business or pleasure may temporarily call him. See also Abode; Residence. "Citizenship," "habitancy," and "residence" are
severally words which in particular cases may mean precisely the same as "domicile," while in other uses may have
different meanings. "Residence" signifies living in particular locality while "domicile" means living in that locality with intent to make
it a fixed and permanent home. Schreiner v. Schreiner, Tex.Civ.App., 502 S.W.2d 840, 843. For purpose of federal diversity
jurisdiction, "citizenship" and "domicile" are synonymous. Hendry v. Masonite Corp., C.A.Miss., 455 F.2d 955.

It is locality [geographical sense] that is determinative of the application of the Constitution, in such matters as judicial procedure,
and not the [political] status of the people who live in it.

Citizenship in the Context of Nationality or
Citizenship in the Context of Domicile
What is the Difference?



'There is, however, one clear exception to the statement that there is no national common law. The interpretation of
the constitution of the United States is necessarily influenced by the fact that its provisions are framed in the
language of the English common law, and are to be read in the light of its history.' 124 U.S. 478 , 8 Sup. Ct.
569.

[]

In Udny v. Udny (1869) L. R. 1 H. L. Sc. 441, the point decided was one of inheritance, depending upon the question
whether the domicile of the father was in England or in Scotland, he being in either alternative a British subject. Lord
Chancellor Hatherley said: 'The question of naturalization and of allegiance is distinct from that of domicile.'
Page 452. Lord Westbury, in the passage relied on by the counsel for the United States, began by saying: 'The law
of England, and of almost all civilized countries, ascribes to each individual at his birth two distinct legal
states or conditions,-one by virtue of which he becomes the subject of some particular country, binding him
by the tie of natural allegiance, and which may be called his political status; another by virtue of which he
has ascribed to him the character of a citizen of some particular country, and as such is possessed of certain
municipal rights, and subject to certain obligations, which latter character is the civil status or condition of
the individual, and may be quite different from his political status.' And then, while maintaining that the civil
status is universally governed by the single principle of domicile (domicilium), the criterion established by international
law for the purpose of determining civil status, and the basis on which 'the personal rights of the party-that is to say,
the law which determines his majority or minority, his marriage, succession, testacy, or intestacy- must depend,' he
yet distinctly recognized that a man's political status, his country (patria), and his 'nationality,-that is, natural
allegiance,'- 'may depend on different laws in different countries.' Pages 457, 460. He evidently used the word
'citizen,' not as equivalent to 'subject,' but rather to 'inhabitant'; and had no thought of impeaching the established rule
that all persons born under British dominion are natural-born subjects.

Are you a U.S. Citizen? Whats Really Being Asked?

When an American National is confronted with government forms, the question, Are you a U.S.
Citizen? is often asked. Many presumptively affirm to their great detriment that they are, while not
understanding the true context of the question. The confusion is understandable. Blacks Law dictionary is
accepted as an authoritative secondary source of law and sheds light on the obfuscation.

citizenship The status of being a citizen. There are four ways to acquire citizenship: by birth in
the United States, by Birth in U.S. territories, by birth outside the U.S. to U.S. parents, and by
naturalization.
Black's Law Dictionary (6
th
ed. 1990)

nationality The relationship between a citizen of a nation and the nation itself, customarily
involving allegiance by the citizen and protection by the state; membership in a nation. This term
is often used synonymously with citizenship.
Blacks Law Dictionary (8
th
ed. 2004)

nationality That quality or character which arises from the fact of a person's belonging to a
nation or state. Nationality determines the political status of the individual, especially with
reference to allegiance; while domicile determines his civil status. Nationality arises either by
birth or by naturalization.
Black's Law Dictionary (6
th
ed. 1990)

Classification of Foreign Nationals Under Federal Law

The statutory term national describes the political status of a member of a nation. A foreign
national is regarded as a political alien to the nation of the United States
1
, but also as a statutory
or legal alien relative to the territory within the United States
1
. Congress has always had legislative
jurisdiction over a foreign national anywhere on American soil through Article I, Section 8, Clause 4
of the Constitution the clause dealing with naturalization which is the conferring of nationality. See
also 8 USC 1101(a)(23).





A 8 USC 1101(a)(21) national a person owing permanent allegiance to a state
F 8 USC 1101(a)(3) alien means any person not a citizen or national of the United States

9

Classification of American Nationals Under Federal Law

The civil status of an American national is determined relative to United States
2
the territorial
division of the United States
1
where an Act of Congress and its promulgated statutes are territorially
applicable. The statutory terms B through F describe statutory civil statuses relative to the United
States
2
. A Union state Citizen maintains a civil status of nonresident alien when domiciled and
residing outside of the United States
2
, while a foreign national anywhere within the confines of the
United States
1
is regarded as a resident alien. This American system of Federalism was created by
design in order to protect the American People from the potential abuses of a National government.




A 8 USC 1101(a)(21) national
B 8 USC 1401 nationals and citizens of the United States
C 8 USC 1408 national but not citizen of the United States
D 8 USC 1101(a)(22) national of the United States
E 8 USC 1452 non-citizen national
F 8 USC 1101(a)(3) alien means any person not a citizen or national of the United States

NATIONALITY & DOMICILE Are Exclusive Matters





When you go to the bank and try to claim your true and correct tax status of nonresident alien,
customer service reps will demand a passport. They are confusing NATIONALITY/POLITICAL STATUS
with DOMICILE/CIVIL STATUS. Within a banks Customer Identification Program (CIP) in the U.S.A.,
the customer is already presumed to be an American National, as American banks deal primarily with
American Nationals thus, the passport inquiry can be skipped. However, a politically foreign individual,
such as a foreign national, must provide his or her passport in accordance with applicable laws. There is
a great deal of information solicited in a typical bank CIP. However, just because information is solicited
does not mean it must be given. 31 CFR 103.28 enumerates the requirements for identification. 31
CFR 103.121 enumerates the requirements for completing the CIP the requirements under each
regulatory section are mutually exclusive, just like nationality and domicile. A request for identification is
not the same as obtaining information for CIP purposes. Furthermore, a request for a foreign address
would be satisfied with any address within the 50 Union states as well as any place outside of the
country. The term foreign is a term relative to the United States
2
not the United States
1
.

How Government Obtains J urisdiction Through Election

Americans constantly question how the Federal government (United States
G
) has the right or
authority to do the things they do. Every American has the right to contract through their right to freely
associate guaranteed by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution this includes
contracting with the United States
G
for social insurance, employment (not to be confused with work in
the private-sector) future medical care, educational grants, or federal loans in short, contracts or
franchises. The United States
G
is a sub-sovereignty created by the will and hand of the American
People. However, when an American voluntarily subjugates him or herself to that sub-sovereignty it no
longer serves as servant, but as master. A true sovereign does not require social insurance,
employment, or any other handout originating from their servant government. However, once those
franchises are freely contracted for, no infirmity can be claimed, as the individual has voluntarily subjected
him or herself freely through the power of a private contract with the United States
G
. The situation is
additionally exacerbated when a Union state Citizen elects a federal domicile by claiming to be a U.S.
Citizen. The U.S. Citizen election coupled with a federal franchise results in a practical total
subjugation of property and rights to the United States
G
.



12

Example of How Ignorant Presumption Coupled with
Participation in the Social Security Franchise Results in Your
Subjugation to the Federal Government

Below is an example of how Americans subjugate themselves as well as all of their property to
the United States
G
. It all transpires through two voluntary mechanisms ignorant presumption about
what a U.S. Citizen is for the purposes of the Social Security franchise, and consequently, the Federal
Income Tax, and a voluntary agreement to apply for social insurance through the birth registration
process a 100% voluntary United States
G
franchise. Your agreement coupled with your ignorance
about your U.S. Citizenship indemnifies the Social Security Administration. Your ignorance about this
process throughout your life results in you also making a U.S. person election in the course of banking,
business, and tax filing. Your additional ignorance about the indirect excise nature of the Federal Income
Tax leads you to believe that working and banking is otherwise impossible without a Social Security
Number a myth widely accepted across the nation by not only the People in general, but by those most
responsible for doing the dirty work for the United States
G
the gatekeeper: HR personnel, DMV
clerks, and customer service representatives at financial institutions. The United States
G
has provided
everyone with the remedy to conduct their affairs in accordance with the Constitution as James
Madison says: Knowledge is power.

Birthplace and Political Status / Domicile and Civil Status
Within the Context of Blocks #3 and #5 of Form SS-5

When many Americans sign up for Social Security by tendering application SS-5, a great deal of
confusion can and does take place. Most Americans are unaware there are two characterizations for a
person under law 1) their birthplace in a nation and their allegiance to the same, which is referred to
constitutionally and colloquially as citizenship, but is statutorily referred to as nationality this commutes
political status, and 2) their permanent residence or domicile upon a geographical location, either within
or without their own nation, which is colloquially referred to as residence, but is more accurately referred
to statutorily as a citizen this commutes civil status. See U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898).
Many ascribe the colloquial meaning to the SS-5 block #5 elections, and wrongly presume a civil status of
U.S. Citizen, even though their physical domicile is located in one of the 50 foreign Union states. The
U.S. Citizen election transfers your legal domicile (not your physical domicile) for Social Security
purposes, and consequently for the purposes of the Federal Income Tax, to the territorial subdivision of
the nation where Congress exercises exclusive legislative jurisdiction, and where direct taxes can be
levied without apportionment a protection for State Citizens under the Constitution. See Article I,
Section 2, Clause 3 and Article I, Section 9, Clause 4 of the United States Constitution. The transfer of
your tax domicile to Federal territory is VERY ADVANTAGEOUS FOR THE GOVERNMENT!!!





14

State Citizen NOT a U.S. Citizen for the Purposes of Social Security

Whenever people come across government forms, the nomenclature 'U.S. Citizen' is often pre-
sent. This can be very confusing because the Constitution capitalizes the word Citizen such as in the
phrase State Citizen to refer to an inhabitant of a Sovereign State. However, the word citizen is used to
describe nationality through the Fourteenth Amendment, which is a different citizenship from State
Citizenship. United States citizenship is nationality and political status State Citizenship is inhabitancy
or domicile, and thus, civil status. Then we see the nomenclature 'U.S. Citizen' on a form, but it doesn't
seem consistent with its apparent statutory equivalent from which the form in question was promulgated.

Forms have legal binding effect, but in-house forms and publications should not be relied upon
as a basis in-and-of-themselves for making legal conclusions, but rather the code from which they came
(if enacted into positive law), or the Statutes at Large if the relevant code was not enacted into positive
law. We know the government is in fact a manifestation of the original sovereigns of the country (the
People), but in fact has been granted a sovereign status itself for the protection of property and rights . . .
and . . . to contract and be contracted with, plead and be impleaded. As the sovereign government of the
country, it operates in two capacities -- as the general government for a sovereign nation, and as the
legislative authority over a geographical portion of our nation where an Act of Congress is locally applic-
able namely United States
2
under Art IV, Sec 3, Cl 2 of the Constitution.

When the term 'U.S. Citizen' is seen on a form, you know the government is acting in its
sovereign capacity over that 'Citizen' for the 'U.S.' in question whether it is:

1. A political entity such as the nation (United States
1
), or;
2. A geographical entity such as United States
2


The Form SS-5 Block-5 is titled 'CITIZENSHIP, with 'U.S. Citizen' as the first election available.
We know therefore that if this option is selected, the applicant is placing itself under the sovereignty of the
government for the purposes of this form and what it provides. The question in this case is, in what man-
ner is the government operating political or civil?

42 USC 1301(a)(1) defines the terms "State" as follows:

(a) When used in this chapter
(1) The term State, except where otherwise provided, includes the District of Columbia and the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and when used in subchapters IV, V, VII, XI, XIX, and XXI of this chapter
includes the Virgin Islands and Guam. Such term when used in subchapters III, IX, and XII of this chapter
also includes the Virgin Islands. Such term when used in subchapter V and in part B of this subchapter of this
chapter also includes American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Trust Territory of the
Pacific Islands. Such term when used in subchapters XIX and XXI of this chapter also includes the Northern
Mariana Islands and American Samoa. In the case of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam,
subchapters I, X, and XIV, and subchapter XVI of this chapter (as in effect without regard to the amendment
made by section 301 of the Social Security Amendments of 1972) shall continue to apply, and the term
State when used in such subchapters (but not in subchapter XVI of this chapter as in effect pursuant to
such amendment after December 31, 1973) includes Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam. Such term
when used in subchapter XX of this chapter also includes the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and
the Northern Mariana Islands. Such term when used in subchapter IV of this chapter also includes American
Samoa.

By the way . . . Chapter 7 is entitled: SOCIAL SECURITY, and the above definition describes United
States
2
.

Then, 42 USC 1301(a)(2) defines the "United States" as follows:

(2) The term United States when used in a geographical sense means, except where otherwise provided,
the States.

There is the clue. The "United States" at issue is a geographical United States
2
, NOT a political United
States
1
such as the nation. Of course, proponents of statism and socialism will then engage in the
15

includes and including argument which is easy enough to destroy. But in this instance, it is not
necessary. Look at how the term "United States" is defined in 42 USC 1301(a)(8)(C):

(C) The term United States means (but only for purposes of subparagraphs (A) and (B) of this paragraph)
the fifty States and the District of Columbia.

Of course 'means' means they are trying to make it very clear for their purposes, whereas includes
means they are trying to lead you astray presumptively. Pretty weak if you ask me, but it seems to have
led the sheep to the slaughter quite nicely, so I guess it worked.

Now if you examine the subparagraphs (A) and (B) of paragraph (8), you see why the additional
"United States" definition in (C):

(8)
(A) The Federal percentage for any State (other than Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam) shall be 100
per centum less the State percentage; and the State percentage shall be that percentage which bears the same
ratio to 50 per centum as the square of the per capita income of such State bears to the square of the per capita
income of the United States; except that the Federal percentage shall in no case be less than 50 per centum or
more than 65 per centum.

(B) The Federal percentage for each State (other than Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam) shall be
promulgated by the Secretary between October 1 and November 30 of each year, on the basis of the average
per capita income of each State and of the United States for the three most recent calendar years for which
satisfactory data are available from the Department of Commerce. Such promulgation shall be conclusive for
each of the four quarters in the period beginning October 1 next succeeding such promulgation: Provided, That
the Secretary shall promulgate such percentages as soon as possible after August 28, 1958, which
promulgation shall be conclusive for each of the eleven quarters in the period beginning October 1, 1958, and
ending with the close of June 30, 1961.

They had to figure out a way to appropriate money off of the backs of the people of the 50 States
(United States
3
) to the others that are domiciled in a "State" pursuant to 42 USC 1301(a)(1). If, the term
"State" of 42 USC 1301(a)(1) could be presumptively enlarged to ALSO include Texas, California, New
York, or Florida for example, there would have been no reason for the definition of "United States" in 42
USC 1301(a)(8)(C). But, we see by this very definition, that the fifty States are added for the purposes of
calculating a per capita income, thus, they (the fifty States) are added for the purposes of 42 USC
1301(a)(8)(C) and they are therefore NOT ALSO included in the 42 USC 1301(a)(1) definition of
"State." Thus, the fifty States are NOT within the meaning of "United States" defined in a geographical
sense in 42 USC 1301(a)(2). Furthermore, the government can refer to the fifty States with a capital "S"
because in this case, doing so does not usurp the sovereignty of the 50 States in this particular
application -- it's merely a definition. If it did, they would have had to refer to them as the 50 states (lower-
case "s").

We can confidently conclude that the geographical "United States" of 42 USC 1301(a)(2) is in
fact United States
2
, and the 'U.S. Citizen' relative to this geographical entity would be someone domiciled
there and subject to the legislative sovereignty of the Federal government in this region. If you are not
domiciled in the geographical United States
2
of 42 USC 1301(a)(2), but you are a member of the
national body-politic within United States
1
, then you are a Legal Alien Allowed To Work on Form SS-5
whereby an A-Number, I-766, or other federally mandated evidence of a right-to-work status is NOT
required as in the case of a foreign national. See Form I-9 it indicates a U.S. Passport as the primary
evidence of a right-to-work status. As an American National domiciled in one of the fifty States, your
"alien" status is secured by the First Amendment and falls 100% outside of the purview of Congress, and
thus, the Social Security Administration. An A-Number or I-766 is not required for you and the Social
Security Number Application Program (SSNAP) should be able to process your Legal Alien Allowed To
Work status by skipping the date field queries requested, which are otherwise for a foreign national. This
is no different than skipping the "Passport #" and "country of issuance" queries at the bank when opening
a "nonresident alien" bank account it simply does not apply to you because you are an American
National and not a foreign national. But it does cause a lot of cognitive dissonance at the bank and the
SSA this is by design.

Why is this important? If an American National would like to stop paying Federal Income Tax on
his private-sector payments, keep what is his as private property, and in the process defund the social
16

welfare state, he must have a status which would indemnify a private-sector payer who has in almost all
certainty taken on the legal characterization of an employer by

1. Obtaining an EIN by submitting application Form SS-4 and declaring a United States
2

domicile for tax purposes, and;

2. Entering into a voluntary withholding agreement with a similarly characterized person pursuant
to 26 USC 3402(p)(3), whereby the payer agrees to be treated AS IF it were an employer
paying wages to an employee.

Thus, since the payer has most certainly entered into this type of arrangement for itself with other
workers at the company, the characterization exists individually in every instance between the person
submitting the W-4 and the company in its individual capacity which will be treated AS IF it were an
employer. Because the company has done this, any person not wishing to be characterized as an
employee receiving wages from an employer must not only indemnify himself, but also the payer, as
the payer has taken on this characterization voluntarily through agreements with other workers and the
SS-4 application itself. The only way to indemnify oneself and the payer is to submit an appropriately
modified Form W-8BEN without a SSN.

Before one can legally submit a W-8BEN to a payer, one must legally have the characterization
allowing such a submission. If Form SS-5 has been filed whereby the applicant declares a United

domicile through the U.S. Citizen election in Block 5, this status will be reflected in the
individuals Social Security Numident Record. This information is further shared and corroborated by the
IRS in the course of processing tax returns. Additionally, the most recent tax filing submitted to the IRS
by the taxpayer was in all likelihood a Form 1040 a form for those domiciled in United States
2
. For
this reason, an individuals SSN will also be reflected in the IRS database as belonging to a domicilary of
United States
2
, and the W-8BEN submission will be deemed fraudulent and/or frivolous by the IRS if
tendered and the submitter legally does not possess that status.

The implementing regulations of the tax code inform the taxpayer how to correct their status
with the IRS. 26 CFR 301.6109-1(g)(1)(i) states the following:

(g) Special rules for taxpayer identifying numbers issued to foreign persons
(1) General rule--(i) Social security number.

A social security number is generally identified in the records and database of the Internal Revenue Service
as a number belonging to a U.S. citizen or resident alien individual. A person may establish a different status
for the number by providing proof of foreign status with the Internal Revenue Service under such procedures
as the Internal Revenue Service shall prescribe, including the use of a form as the Internal Revenue Service
may specify. Upon accepting an individual as a nonresident alien individual, the Internal Revenue Service will
assign this status to the individual's social security number.

However, as illustrated in the discussion above, before a taxpayer can obtain this remedy with the IRS,
the taxpayer must first correct his status with the SSA. 20 CFR 422.110(a) states the following:

Sec. 422.110 Individual's request for change in record.

(a) Form SS-5. If you wish to change the name or other personal identifying information you previously
submitted in connection with an application for a social security number card, you must complete and sign a
Form SS-5 except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section. You must prove your identity, and you may be
required to provide other evidence. (See Sec. 422.107 for evidence requirements.) You may obtain a Form SS-
5 from any local Social Security office or from one of the sources noted in Sec. 422.103(b). You may submit a
completed request for change in records to any Social Security office, or, if you are outside the U.S.,to the
Department of Veterans Affairs Regional Office, Manila, Philippines, or to any U.S. Foreign Service post or U.S.
military post. If your request is for a change of name on the card (i.e., verified legal changes to the first name
and/or surname), we may issue you a replacement card bearing the same number and the new name. We will
grant an exception from the limitations specified in Sec. 422.103(e)(2) for replacement social security number
cards representing a change in name or, if you are an alien, a change to a restrictive legend shown on the card.
(See Sec. 422.103(e)(3) for the definition of a change to a restrictive legend.)

The truth of the matter is hidden in plain site. The Congress, through the SSA addresses those
who they have legislative sovereignty over namely, foreign nationals. Of course, as an American
17

National, you are afforded equal protection of the law, and the above remedy also applies to you when
desiring to change your civil status on file with the SSA.

Once a taxpayer submits a new SS-5, his Numident Record is updated. This Numident Record
is continually referenced by the IRS to process federal income tax returns. Now, when a nonresident
alien taxpayer pursues the remedy provided in 26 CFR 301.6109-1(g)(1)(i), the IRS will not flag the
return as being fraudulent or frivolous, as the Social Security Numident Record of the taxpayer will now
indicate Legal Alien Allowed To Work and not U.S. Citizen. This will allow a Form 1040NR to process
without being flagged as fraudulent or frivolous. Following the successful correction of status with both
the SSA and the IRS as provided for in the above regulatory language, the taxpayer now has the ability
to legally opt-out of an otherwise mandatory W-4 within the private-sector because his status now reflects
that of someone who legally can be a non-taxpayer while also providing the evidence to indemnify the
company (a modified Form W-8BEN). Furthermore, this alien status is on file with the two government
entities which control and regulate this very subject matter the SSA and the IRS.

Every American National who wishes to reclaim the precious tenets of Federalism, and in the
process, defund the social welfare state, can legally do so by applying the governments own guidance.
Patriots can argue all they want about being tricked into the system. Ignorance of the law is no excuse,
and if said patriots knew who they were to begin with, the above described method of remedy would not
have to be accomplished, as the patriot would have always remained in his naturally-born sovereign
status that of a nonresident alien non-taxpayer. At some point, the patriot submitted himself to the
sovereignty of the Federal government either voluntarily through ignorance, or through well-intentioned
means such as in service to his nation within a department as defined in the Classification Act of 1923
and the Classication Act of 1949. However, even if done so with good intentions, an American who in the
course of becoming a legitimate taxpayer did so while also declaring a United States
2
domicile, he must
now take steps to correct that status, and must further do so as a taxpayer, as the IRS deals only with
taxpayers and not non-taxpayers. It is their franchise, therefore they can legitimately make the rules.
Americans who value the Rule of Law should also follow them.

We are all currently in this mess the Federal Reserve has constructed for us. It has taken
generations to build. Is what they have done moral? No! Is it legal? Yes! The Founding Fathers told us
not to trust our government, and they baited the trap with cheese (legal tender and benefits) and we
surrendered our sovereignty through sloth and ignorance. Our reward: A bankrupt nation-state
dominated by the military-industrial complex and a parasitic population of which 50% consumes that
which the other 50% produces. A good portion of this however, goes to the Federal Reserve in the form
of interest payments on the legal tender borrowed by the government from the Federal Reserve who
prints it for pennies, and then loans it at face value a mathematically impossible situation entered into
by our government with the privately-owned Fed back in 1913 the same year the 16
th
Amendment was
ratified. We can best serve our country by realizing who we are, correcting our status to that of a
nonresident alien taxpayer in accordance with the law, and then finally using that corrected status to
opt out of the federal income tax legally insofar as it is applied in the 50 States, and that is, as an indirect
excise tax on income obtained in the course of federal activity. Otherwise, a taxpayer deemed
domiciled in United States
2
will continually make donations under Tax Class 5 to the United States
Treasury through the voluntary compliance mechanisms which are in fact legally binding, and have in
fact legitimized the governments methods of enforcement against indoctrinated and uneducated
Americans. Furthermore, direct taxes do not need to be apportioned in the United States
2
or for those
who have claimed a domicile there for the purposes of the federal income tax.

How A U.S. Citizen Interfaces Certain Government Systems








When an American national categorizes him or herself as a U.S. Citizen for ALL federal
purposes, a complex system of gateways and checkpoints becomes activated. The above system works
in harmony to establish a Federal tax domicile regardless of actual residence within the external
boundaries of one of the 50 sovereign states of the Union. This declared federal tax domicile (a
declaration which constitutes political speech) attaches with it certain obligations which create a nexus to
otherwise voluntary franchise agreements. The legal obligations which accompany the declared domicile
and the activity create a taxpayer status for all receipts, and a total loss of private property rights.

How Union state Citizens Can Interface Certain Government Systems









An American national can maintain the benefits of constitutional state Citizenship by properly
characterizing him or herself as a statutory alien in matters regarding nationality AND domicile. Thus, a
state Citizen is a statutory alien under Federal law and has the right to acquire payments tax free within
the private-sector. Realize the E-Verify program only confirms the statutory alien status of a foreign
national, as this status is simply a political affiliation for an American national, and falls 100% outside the
purview of the Federal government. Knowing this and properly arranging ones affairs to reflect this
reality is essential for retaining private property rights.

Note: The appearance of 'U.S. Citizen' on a government form should be construed as non-statutory nomenclature. Capitalization of the word 'Citizen' is an
indication of the United States government acting in its sovereign capacity within an applicable context for the 'United States' in either 1. its political jurisdiction
in matters of nationality and political status within the United States
1
, or 2. its legislative jurisdiction in matters of geographical sovereignty and statutory civil
status within United States
2
. When 'U.S. Citizen' is proffered on a government form, the United States government is acting in a sovereign capacity -- it is
incumbent upon the applicant to know in which capacity it is acting, whether in a political sense or a civil sense.
Example 1. The Department of State's Form DS-11 proffers the entity 'U.S. Citizen' as an option for selection. In this instance the United States government is
acting in its sovereign capacity as the general government of the nation for American Nationals who have received their nationality and political status through
the "citizenship clause" of the Fourteenth Amendment. Hint: In this instance, the "United States" at issue is a political entity -- the nation (United States
1
).
Example 2. The Social Security Administration's Form SS-5 proffers the entity 'U.S. Citizen' as a civil status election within the 'Block 5 -- CITIZENSHIP' section of
the form. In this instance the United States government is acting in its sovereign capacity within the legislative jurisdiction where an Act of Congress is locally
applicable -- defined as the "United States" pursuant to 42 USC 1301(a)(2). Hint: In this instance, the "United States" at issue is a geographical entity -- a
legislative and civil jurisdiction (United States
2
).

Political and Civil J urisdiction Domestic and Foreign



There cannot be a nation without a people. The very idea of a political community, such as a nation is, implies an association of persons for
the promotion of their general welfare. Each one of the persons associated becomes a member of the nation formed by the association. He
owes it allegiance and is entitled to its protection. Allegiance and protection are, in this connection, reciprocal obligations. The one is a
compensation for the other; allegiance for protection and protection for allegiance. [emphasis added]

Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162 (1874)


The persons declared to be citizens [in the 14
th
Amendment to the Constitution] are 'all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and
subject to the jurisdiction thereof.' The evident meaning of these last words is, not merely subject in some respect or degree to the [civil]
jurisdiction of the United States, but completely subject to their political jurisdiction, and owing them direct and immediate allegiance. And
the words relate to the time of birth in the one case, as they do to the time of naturalization in the other. Persons not thus subject to the
jurisdiction of the United States at the time of birth cannot become so afterwards, except by being naturalized, either individually, as by
proceedings under the naturalization acts; or collectively, as by the force of a treaty by which foreign territory is acquired. [emphasis added]

Elk v. Wilkins, 112 U.S. 94 (1884)

Political and Civil J urisdiction Domestic and Foreign contd

I n the constitution and laws of the United States the word 'citizen' is generally, if not always, used in a political sense, to designate one
who has the rights and privileges of a citizen of a state or of the United States. It is so used in section 1 of article 14 of the amendments of the
constitution, which provides that 'all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the
United States and of the state wherein they reside,' and that 'no state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or
immunities of citizens of the United States.' But it is also sometimes used in popular language to indicate the same thing as resident,
inhabitant, or person. [emphasis added]

Baldwin v. Franks, 120 U.S. 678 (1887)
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The law of England, and of almost all civilized countries, ascribes to each individual at his birth two distinct legal states or conditions,-one
by virtue of which he becomes the subject of some particular country, binding him by the tie of natural allegiance, and which may be called his
political status; another by virtue of which he has ascribed to him the character of a citizen of some particular country, and as such is
possessed of certain municipal rights, and subject to certain obligations, which latter character is the civil statusor condition of the individual,
and may be quite different from his political status. [emphasis added]

U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898)

States Political Sense versus Geographical Sense

state The political system of a body of people who are politically organized; the system of rules
by which jurisdiction and authority are exercised over such a body of people. The organ of the
state by which its relations with other states are managed is the government.

"The term 'United States' may be used in any one of several senses. It may be merely the name of
a sovereign occupying the position analogous to that of other sovereigns in the family of nations.
It may designate the territory over which the sovereignty of the United States extends, or it may be
the collective name of the states which are united by and under the Constitution.

United States Citizenship Political and Civil

nationality That quality or character which arises from the fact of a person's belonging to a
nation or state. Nationality determines the political status of the individual, especially with
reference to allegiance; while domicile determines his civil status. Nationality arises either by
birth or by naturalization. [Source: U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark emphasis added]

Black's Law Dictionary, 6
th
Edition 1990

nationality The relationship between a citizen of a nation and the nation itself, customarily
involving allegiance by the citizen and protection by the state; membership in a nation. This term
is often used synonymously with citizenship. [Source: Baldwin v. Franks emphasis added]
