I get the impression that this presentation might make more enemies than friends. Pointing out these things about Ron Paul is a long time coming. And the truth often hurts.
But not telling the truth and going against popular “opinion” is the true measure of a man.
Have you read the Federal Reserve Act?
Did you know that the “dollar” is actually partially backed by many millions of ounces gold?
Do you want to know the truth?
Or are you more comfortable thinking about the bank that is the Federal Reserve as a monster and not just a bank?
I’m betting that 99% of those who wish to end the Fed have no idea what it actually is, and have never even taken a glimpse at the CAFR or the Federal Reserve Act.
Well here it is…

A friend and listener to our local AM station took our interview with the mayor of Salt Lake County, where he admits to the county CAFR and over $650 million in extra fund balances. He also included the CAFR pages I read from as reference.
Though I already posted the interview (audio only), I feel like this is the most important public official confession as to the wealth of the government as shown in government’s financial statements.
Please pass this on…
–
Also, learn more about government Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports (CAFR’s) with CAFR School, here:
We interviewed the County Sheriff Jim Winder – “The Sheriff Who Sold His County” – on local AM radio (K-TALK – 630 AM) in Salt Lake County on June 6, 2011. This is extremely important, so please listen and read the following information.
Remember, this is an elected public office-holder that is talking here. This guy is slippery, but even the best of predators can eventually be backed into a corner…
“…We are moving towards a model that is much more efficient than a regular public entity.”
And hear our interview with the Mayor of the county as he admits to the vast wealth in the county CAFR and over $650 million in funds that could have been used to pay for the police, here:
Note: I confused the term “multi-jurisdictional” with “Unification”, though they are virtually the same thing in this case. The state of Utah has multi-jurisdictional police and other “special district” agency agreements. Sadly, I am learning as I uncover each stone, and while the Sheriff made sure to attempt to discredit me at every turn, he never offers the correct information or facts about what is the Unified Police Department until the very end of this interview. I cannot find the Articles of Incorporation for which he speaks, nor any other pertinent documents as these are no doubt on the “protected records” list as afforded in Utah H.B. 116, now codified into Utah CODE. Therefore, this type of exchange is necessary to uncover even the small crumbs of information that allow me to piece together this new and unknown (to myself) layer of government.
In this interview, our combative and obfuscating Sheriff, who has turned the power of the Sheriff’s Department over to a “Special Tax Financing District” – also called a “Special Service District” – inadvertently reveals his true colors and lets us know that our new corporate police force is actually a 3rd level of government – a district – that can bypass voter approval to raise revenue/fees (taxes) within its county council created boundaries (service area), and charge those fees with late charges to the homeowners property tax if this fee is not paid within a certain time period.
To put this into perspective, Salt Lake County also has a “Unified Fire Department” special district for which similar fees are paid.
And just what happens around the country if you – the home or business owner – don’t pay the “service fee”?

“FIREFIGHTERS WATCH AS HOME BURNS: GENE CRANICK’S HOUSE DESTROYED IN TENNESSEE OVER $75 FEE (VIDEO)”
One might wish to pose these questions of our police department CEO…
If I don’t pay my “Police Protection Fee“, will I not get police protection?
If my house is being robbed, will the police just watch this crime happen as they sip their coffee and gobble their dozen doughnuts?
If my son is kidnapped…?
If my daughter is being raped…?
-=-
These “special districts” are everywhere. They are your school districts, your sewer, water, phone, and trash districts. Sometimes their fees are specifically apportioned, and sometimes they are not.
When the Sheriff so arrogantly states in this interview that the Unified Police Department “never charged a (police protection) fee” and that “until I understand my financing models I shouldn’t spout off“, and that the Salt Lake Valley Law Enforcement Service Area (SLVLESA) was the one that charged the fee, the Sheriff was actually, in his own way, telling the truth.
As it turns out, each “special district” is in fact independent from each other. I made the mistake of thinking logically and reasonably; picturing a series of “districts” very much like a set of puzzle pieces that fit together with actual legal boundaries or borders. But the reality of this districting is that we must consider each individual district in a three or four-dimensional realm. In other words, districts may overlap with each other. I can actually live in 1,000 individual districts that all intersect with and cross over each other. There can be districts inside of other districts, which on paper have nothing to do with each other.
Therefore, I have a Sewer District, a School District, a Fire District, a Water District, a F.E.M.A. district, multiple local, county, state, and a Federal Districts, a Power District, a Police District, a Mosquito Abatement District, an Emergency 911 District, a Trash District, a Zoning District, and on and on and on…
So if you picture a numerous bunch of circles or rings stacked on top of each other on a map of your county, overlapping and conjoining but never being attached with each other – that is what your local, county, and state “special districts” would look like – all completely independent and yet somehow acting as a “unified” incorporated government district operation.
Or if it’s easier, picture the Russian Babushka dolls of old, where inside each doll is a similar but smaller doll; each of these being a separate but smaller district inside another district, independent of each other but collectively controlled as one.
And each district has a “special” function. Some, like the SLVLESA, are strictly there to collect a fee, and work around the voting process which says that by law no taxes can be charged. But a “district fee” is different. It is a hidden tax that must be paid, or else it will eventually be attached as a lien on your property tax in the senior lien position, and the county or state treasurer will eventually take your home for payment of this “fee”. So this tax starts its life as a seemingly innocent fee, and then morphs into a tax when it is not paid.
In other words, this is not a voluntary tax.
It is instead designed to TAKE your money at the barrel of a gun, or in this case, at the cost of what you thought was your home, land, and property.
So these districts are actually worse than I thought… and thanks to this treasonous Sheriff’s slip up and his unintended disclosure towards the end of this interview, we now know that the Unified Police Department (UPD) is a separate “district” as well. And we now know that, even though the sole purpose of the Salt Lake Valley Law Enforcement Service Area (SLVLESA) “district” is to collect and provide revenue (fees/taxes) for the Unified Police Department (special district), the UPD is indeed as the Sheriff claims – a separate incorporated entity (an unconnected special district).
While before I was confused as to why the Sheriff kept claiming that the Unified Police Department has never charged a fee or raised a tax, I now understand that this is in fact a very clever way to completely separate his department and himself as CEO of this department (service area) from this “police protection fee” in another district, so that he can claim to be independent of this other unlawful special district’s actions, while he and his department are still the main beneficiary of that “police protection fee” (tax) charged by the independent SLVLESA district. Likewise, the mayor and councilmen can run for re-election on an incumbent campaign, or even a run for the governorship, with the actual slogan that they “have never raised property or other taxes” while in office!!!
Bottom line…
These special service and tax districts are incrementally taking over our government, one function at a time. Like a pie chart with thousands and thousands of slices, traditional government is disappearing as this special district scheme plays out across the country, and the takeover of America’s infrastructure and public departments happens one area at a time.
In a few days, I will interview someone who can explain this from a corporate perspective. Until then, please continue to pass this and my previous interview on, as well as “The Sheriff Who Sold His County” article here:
My only protection for the exposure of this information is your willingness to make this a national issue – to cause outrage and blow back. Demand that your local news outlets cover this story.
I have no one to protect me from this CEO / Sheriff, or his special district of private police…

Rest in peace – and thank you doesn’t even come close – Lieutenant Colonel Klatt…

The following is an interview on Utah’s local K-Talk AM630 radio station with myself, Dale Williams of FreeWestRadio.com, and the Mayor of Salt Lake County, Peter Corroon.
In this rare historical confession, the Salt Lake County Mayor not only reveals his complete knowledge of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) of his county, local, and state government, but tells us that indeed his new “Unified Police District” is a private corporation, and that the elected Sheriff was appointed as the CEO of that private corporate police force after dissolving the Sheriff’s Department, leaving no lawful protection of the people, and creating a gangland style police-state in the “unified” Utah and Salt Lake County.
This completely verifies my previous article, “The Sheriff Who Sold his County”, located here:
In the Great Salt Lake Valley, a once free land settled between the rugged Rocky and Sierra Nevada Mountain ranges, the county’s last firewall of protection from outside influence has been extinguished.
The Salt Lake area is renown for its world-class ski resorts, its vast food storage industry, and its uniquely large population of Mormons. The county, with a richly seated and an often mythical, chaotic history, has now become the stuff of legend.
This is the story of what has become of Salt Lake County, and the private militant corporation that has become its new police department. And to this you should pay heed, for this story is happening across the country, and may have already consumed your own county’s last hope, your elected Sheriff.
≈
Let’s begin at the beginning of the end, when Salt Lake County lost its Sheriff’s Department…
First, understand that the County Sheriff is given the true lawful power of the people as an elected political office, and not a partisan appointment like all of the law enforcement officials beneath him. This political office is (or was) the protectorate of the people within each county; acting as the law of the land and the only instrumentality that has the real power to thwart the encroachments of the Federal government – the power to say NO! If you have a problem with the local police in your town or city (corporate municipality), the County Sheriff and his department is who you would call as the authority of the land (county).
Our current “elected” Sheriff of Salt Lake County, one Mr. Jim Winder, is of course a wealthy member of the local dairy tycoon family, aptly named Winder Farms. He recently won his reelection campaign in the 2010 elections due to the fact that the information I’m about to present to you is absent from the general consciousness and comprehension of the good people of the Salt Lake Valley. The good Sheriff actually campaigned on and was voted into this honorable office toting the success of the newly formed Unified Police Department – the “unification” of the sheriff, municipal, and unincorporated police departments within Salt Lake County into one corporately structured private police force – an act of treason and an assault on everything remotely constitutional.
The people have no idea what this man has done…
As of January 1, 2010, the day that Salt Lake County became a police state, the Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Department was officially dissolved. In its place was created a brand new corporation, which is now described as “…responsible for all police operations”. This private company is called the “Unified Police Department of Greater Salt Lake”, or the “Unified Police Department” for short.
This Unified Police Department (UPD) became the “new police force” for all municipal corporations (cities) and all unincorporated areas within the County of Salt Lake, thereby dissolving the only true lawful protective body within the county, the elected Sheriff’s “Department“.
To add to the treasonous nature of this takeover of Salt Lake County, this elected Sheriff was then appointed as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Unified Police Department by the County Council. To clarify, the elected Sheriff Jim Winder was appointed by the elected County Council to be the CEO of the private company called “Unified Police Department of Greater Salt Lake”, which is in charge of all law enforcement within the County of Salt Lake.
And it gets worse… way worse!
—————-≈—————-
So who’s idea was this, anyway?
—————-≈—————-
Well… The local FOX 13 news affiliate reported it this way:
SALT LAKE COUNTY, Utah —
The details of a new metro police force for Salt Lake County, a feat that has taken several years to accomplish, have now been finalized. As of January 1, 2010, The Salt Lake County Sheriffs Office will be dissolved and will be replaced with a new metro police department. The new department will be run by mayors of participating cities.
“It’s happened, today we are formalizing what has really been a several year initiative to create a consolidated police entity that is managed by municipal (corporation) mayors,”said Sheriff Winder of the Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Office.
Instead of being run by a chief or the sheriff, the metro police force will be controlled by a board made up of the mayors of the participating municipalities (corporations). The sheriff will act as chief executive on that board.
What more could the leaders of organized crime (the mayors) ask for than a private police force that they control and use to take the people’s wealth and property?
And, right from the horses mouth, the county government website had this to say:
Mayor’s Report/UPD Published: Oct. 2009
The Unified Police Department will be born January 1, 2010. A quarter million resident’s of Salt Lake valley will be served by a new police force. I have been honored to serve as the Chair of the UPD transition committee along with Mayor Dennis Webb of Holladay serving as vice chair.
Public Safety is the number one priority for every governmental entity, federal, state or local. The creation of the UPD is another step in providing the highest level of police protection for citizens living in unincorporated areas and cities served by the Sheriff.
The UPD will replace the Salt Lake County Sheriff’s patrol services. As it is currently formulated, the UPD will serve townships and unincorporated areas plus the cities of Bluffdale (which is considering other options), Herriman, Holladay and Riverton. The UPD will also provide limited pooled services to Taylorsville, including SWAT, narcotics and gang prevention.
Mayors of the member cities will join representatives from the unincorporated county as the UPD’s board of directors setting policy and budgets.The Sheriff will be the chief operating officer (CEO) and run day-to-day police operations.
This transformation has been a long time coming.Former Sheriff Aaron Kennard joined Sheriff Jim Winder last month before the Salt Lake County Council to report that groundwork for the UPD started more than a decade and a half ago.
The expertise and experience of the Sheriff’s Office means that police services will continue at its same high level. One major difference is that municipalities will become full partners and part owners of equipment traditionally owned by the county.
Great credit goes to Sheriff Winder, Mayors Lynn Crane of Herriman, Dennis Webb of Holladay, Bill Applegarth of Riverton and Claudia Anderson of Bluffdale Mayor Russ Wall of Taylorsville and our Salt Lake County Council members for their efforts directed at bringing the UPD to fruition.
In the years since the Salt Lake County Fire Department became the Unified Fire Authority/Unified Fire District, we learned that consolidation of services and providing ownership and policy responsibility to member cities creates a positive environment built on trust and common needs.
The Unified Police District will serve 250,000 residents with 339 officers on an annual operating budget of $45.3 million.
The new board guarantees local control under the power sharing agreement. The UPD provides a framework for future police services in our county. We are proud of our Sheriff’s Office and, starting next year, we will be proud of the Unified Police Department.
The Unified Police Department of Greater Salt Lake website (http://updsl.org/contact.html) lists its participating “precincts”, which are unincorporated townships and areas, as:
Of course, all municipal corporation (city) police in the Salt Lake County have now become “Unified”, and often have this fact printed on the sides of their shiny, expensive new Dodge Chargers and SUV’s. The “Draper City Corporation’s” Police Department is even the proud owner of an old but quite operational military tank!
—————-≈—————-
What Really Happened?
The History Of Police “Unification”
—————-≈—————-
From the Federal National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s website:
“In 1996, the Utah Highway Safety Office and the Salt Lake Sheriff’s Office met to analyze territorial and coordination problems encountered by metropolitan area law enforcement agencies. As a result, the two agencies developed the Salt Lake County Multi-Agency Task Force comprised of all local, county and state law enforcement agencies; law enforcement agencies from schools and universities; and representatives from four other government agencies. Monthly meetings served two purposes: to develop cooperative law enforcement activities, and to showcase best traffic safety practices and programs.”
This single act abolished the traditional jurisdiction of each city (municipal corporation), and gave law enforcement authority and power to neighboring forces. Thus, in Salt Lake County, the Salt Lake City Corporation (city of Salt Lake) Police now have jurisdiction not only in Salt Lake City, but also in all other municipal corporations (cities) and unincorporated areas within Salt Lake County.
This, it turns out, is a national phenomenon that is indicative of the federal takeover of local and state law enforcement – the “Federalization” of all police in the country. It is the selling out of State’s rights as soon as the Federal Government waves grant paperwork and United Nations treaties in front of our legislators and constitutionally ignorant sheriff’s collective, treasonous faces:
“It’s important that people recognize the agency, and they will no longer say ‘Sheriff’s Office.’ It’s anticipated they will say Unified Police Department…”Sheriff Winder told KCPW in August 2009.
But this is only the beginning of the tyranny. To understand what a true police-state means, let’s examine the corporate structure and design of this new Salt Lake County Sheriff’s corporation, the Unified Police (Federal) District…
—————-≈—————-
The “Salt Lake Valley Law Enforcement Service Area”
—————-≈—————-
Once the “Unified Police Department of Greater Salt Lake (UPD)” was set up as a corporate entity; after this virtual mafia of mayors and council members of the county and cities of Salt Lake County gleefully dissolved the constitutional power of the Sheriff’s Department… the real fun began.
What follows is why the County Sheriff is such an important office, and why you should strive to protect yours if you’re lucky enough to still have one.
The County Council through the UPD then created a “district” called the “Salt Lake Valley Law Enforcement Service Area (SLVLESA)”. This district is what is called in corporate government a “Special Financing District (SFD)”.
UPD referenced the Prima Facie (presumed law) UTAH STATE CODE 17B-1-201 and 17B-2A-901 as justification for their “right” to do this.
It is very hard to come up with a single definition of just what a “Special Financing District” actually is, and yet quite easy to find a multitude of private, non-governmental corporations just itching to help turn your area into one. There is even a “California Special Districts Association” which one can explore and join – online at (http://csda.net/).
A private, non-governmental Florida company describes “Special Taxing Districts” as:
Special District Services, Inc. creates and manages special taxing districts throughout the State of Florida. SDS was organized to meet the growing demand for urban services and provide a public financing vehicle to serve community infrastructure and service needs in a timely and cost-effective manner. SDS is a results-oriented company with the philosophy that a Public-Private Partnership is an essential ingredient for the successful delivery of public infrastructure through the use of special districts. The basic concept being that growth pays for itself. We are committed to tailoring services to provide essential planning, organization, management, financing and construction of public facilities through the use of special taxing districts.

In Washington State, statutes have defined special districts as:
municipalities
units of local government
municipal corporations
quasi-municipal corporations
public body corporate and politic
Perhaps the worst aspect of Salt Lake County’s plight is that the Unified Police Department actually had the nerve to outsource this crime to another state!
The “NBS” website at (nbsgov.com) – which is the out of state, private, non-governmental company handling Salt Lake County’s SLVLESA – states that:
Special Financing Districts (“SFD’s”) include a wide variety of assessment-based, special tax, and other types of parcel charges such as:
Assessment Districts
Business Improvement Districts (BID)
Community Facilities Districts (CFD)
Connection Fee Financing
Fire and Other Special Purpose Taxes
Local Improvement Districts (LID)
Maintenance Districts
Miscellaneous Charges
Parcel Loans
Special Tax Districts
Exerpted from a “William Blair & Company” brochure entitled “Special Tax District Financing – A Guide to Funding Infrastructure Through Land-Secured Bonds”, this Chicago company might give us some insight as to what is actually happening in districts across the country like the SLVLESA:
This article sets out the basic concepts underlying land-secured municipal finance and how it can be used effectively by municipalities, home builders, and developers.
Land-secured bondsare used to finance the basic public infrastructure required for both new development andexisting communities. Most often, these bonds are issued through-or for the benefit of-special tax districts. The bonds generally are non-rated and exempt from federal income taxes…
Now, I want you to pay special attention to this next part. For this above all else reveals the true nature of your private, corporate municipal “government”. And it proves without a doubt that you, the people, are not the owner of your land, your home, or your property.
The brochure continues:
Owners of properties that benefit from the bond-funded infrastructure agree to a lien on their homes (or commercial property) that is paid off over time through an annual special tax or assessment.That tax or assessment is used to pay debt service on thebonds, which are secured further by the underlying taxed or assessed property as collateral. The special tax or assessment constitutes a senior lien on the property, meaning it is superior to private liens such as construction or mortgage loans.
Land-secured bonds are used to finance many types of public infrastructure. For example, for transportation, bond proceeds can fund streets, sidewalks, traffic signals, highway interchanges, public parking, public landscaping, and street lights. For utilities and related infrastructure, the bonds can fund water supply, storage, treatment, and distribution facilities; wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal facilities; and storm drain systems. For economic development, the bonds can finance public infrastructure associated with shopping centers, business parks, and industrial parks. In addition, land-secured municipal bonds can fund flood control, recreational facilities, parks, and open space. What constitutes an eligible project is subject to specific state statutes, but in many locales the possibilities are expansive.
In short, land-secured bond financing can be used to fund the cost of public infrastructure for almost every kind of real estate development: existing urban and suburban neighborhoods, new master-planned communities, local and regional commercial districts, retail malls, big-box commercial centers, office and business parks, industrial complexes, redevelopment project areas, affordable-housing projects, and military bases being converted to civilian use.
In various states, a voter referendum is required to raise property taxes. This makes it difficult for local governments to cost-effectively finance new projects and existing infrastructure upgrades when they are needed… Consequently, a cash-flow mismatch exists between the up-front costs of public projects and generation of tax revenue. To fill this gap, land-secured bond financing was created so governments can fund infrastructure directly and developers can fund the public-use components of new neighborhoods before the improvements are conveyed to municipalities.
In other words… these bonds are created to bypass the lawful voting procedure that would otherwise be required of the people to raise property taxes. This is literally “taxation without representation”.
It continues:
Land-secured bonds generally are not rated by the rating agencies because they are considered riskier than other municipal bonds and are unlikely to receive investment-grade ratings. As home-builders have come to understand, however, as long as all goes according to plan, the risks lessen over time. Risks are highest as development begins and the project is still dirt’ risk then declines as the project reaches its full potential, builds out, and establishes a diversified tax base with a record of special tax or assessment payments. The annual tax or assessment levy is generally part of the owner’s property tax bill so payment can be routine.
The creative use of land-secured municipal financing through special tax and special assessment districts offers an opportunity for home-builders and real estate developers to partner with local governments to bring new development to fruition.
I am guessing that this answers the question as to why cities and counties across the country are building new housing, strip-malls, mega shopping centers, and business complexes all over the place in “planned communities”, while empty businesses and homes stockpile in the rest of the cities and counties as banks continue their siege of foreclosures on the clueless people.
The more buildings government builds, the more taxation can be brought into the government Special Financing District!
—————-≈—————-
So What Exactly Is The SLVLESA?
—————-≈—————-
Well, let’s start with what it is not…
From the SLVLESA website, under the “About the SLVLESA” section, it states:
Mission
The sole purpose of the Salt Lake Valley Law Enforcement Service Area (SLVLESA) is to provide funding for police services in the unincorporated areas of Salt Lake County. The SLVLESA does not provide police service. Instead, it forwards revenues to the Unified Police Department (UPD), which provides law enforcement services to the unincorporated County. The UPD is responsible for all police operations.
Leadership
The SLVLESA was created by unanimous vote of the Salt Lake County Council (not the voting public). The Council appointed Jim Bradley, Michael Jensen, and Mayor Peter Corroon to serve as the service area trustees. Councilman Bradley serves as the chair.
≈
This SLVLESA Special Financing District and its self-appointed council, being created without the consent or approval of any of the home or business owners within these incorporated or unincorporated sections of the county, literally, unconstitutionally, and unabashedly forced these private land, home, and business owners to become a part of this Special Financing District.
To be clear, the county council and county mayor created this 4-person council (a special district within the main UPD private corporation), which has no law enforcement authority and does not provide police services, and appointed themselves as its trustees and chairman. They created a fake corporate city (a corporate veil), making themselves the administrators (slave-masters). This would be no different than a king making your unincorporated town or village a part of his kingdom, and then assigning a council (an oligarchy) and tax collectors (city police) to force you to pay for his majesty’s protection.
≈
The American Heritage Dictionary defines the term “Trustee” as follows:
Law. One, such as a bank, that holds legal title to property in order to administer it for a beneficiary.
A member of a board elected or appointed to direct the funds and policy of an institution.
A country responsible for supervising a trust territory.
≈
Webster’s Dictionary defines an “Institution” as such:
1: an act of instituting: establishment
2 a: a significant practice, relationship, or organization in a society or culture ‘the institution of marriage’. also: something or someone firmly associated with a place or thing ‘she has become an institution in the theater’
2 b: an established organization or corporation (as a bank or university) especially of a public character; also : asylum
≈
Once this Salt Lake Valley Law Enforcement Service Area (SLVLEA) was formed, the council then granted themselves the authority to arbitrarily create and charge each land, home, and business owner within their newly created “special financing district”, without the vote or consent of the people who now would be forced into participation within said mandatory “law enforcement service area”, a mandatory fee for police protection by the Unified Police Department.
Service… at the point of a gun.
But remember, this now mandatory “police protection” before January 1, 2010, was paid for by taxes and provided for by the Sheriff’s Department of Salt Lake County. But once that office taken over by a criminal cabal and was dissolved, the law of the land was not there to protect its people from this type of tyranny of government, and a traitorous elected Sheriff literally sold his soul and that of his people to the Federal Government… for profit.
—————-≈—————-
The Police Protection Fee
Pay It, Or Loose Your Home
—————-≈—————-
It is important to understand this concept. Our police, our Unified Police Department, is now a business. A business – a corporation – must make a profit to be soluble. A corporation is always designed to make a profit, even in a so-called a non-profit structure. Therefore the Sheriff, as CEO of the UPD Corporation, has been catapulted into a position that now directly conflicts with the lawful purposes for which the voters elected him into office. As the corporate president of this police corporation, he must ensure a profit is made for the company. Therefore, the people of the county will suffer the consequences of their Sheriffs conflict of interest. The result?
SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 News) – Salt Lake City drivers beware! Police are now patrolling these streets with a new need to write tickets, or face being written up for not doing their jobs.
“…What we are asking, is for officers to be accountable for their time,” says Sgt. Shawn Josephson, Salt Lake City Police.
A spokesperson for the department tells ABC 4, Salt Lake City Police Chief Chris Burbank says he’s recently stumbled upon patrol officers within the department who haven’t written one traffic citation in a year. So, he’s writing a new rule requiring every cop to write at least one ticket per week, or they’ll be questioned.
“We’ve got goals we set as a department so we can make sure the officers are out there working,” says Sgt. Josephson…
Officers say that’s the number one complaint they get from people upset about fast moving cars flying through their neighborhoods. But now, cops are going to be ready for them. But the thought of getting slapped with a ticket, is not pleasing to those driving the streets of Salt Lake City.
Chief Burbank will not say what will happen to officers who do not meet this requirement. On average, Salt Lake City 200 patrol officers write between 10 and 20 tickets a day.
Here is a comment posted to the site from a concerned citizen:
The SLPD states via an interview in your broadcast, that the upgraded ticket-writing demand of its officers is to demonstrate to the PD and public that ‘OUR’ officers are doing their jobs. THAT’S BULL!!! PROOF: SLPD and ALL local city police cars have a nifty GPS puck attached to all vehicles. These ‘GPS pucks’ are tracked by FATPOT, SPILLMAN or comparable software. Each police, fire, ambulance and many/MOST other local-government operated vehicles are TRACKED 24/7 with recordings SAVED to computer hard-disks for months and years! The vehicle’s location is placed on maps in very real-time!
But tickets are the least of the people’s worries. For the real dirty little secret of the Unified Police District and its special district “SLVLESA” is much, much worse…
≈
In March of 2010, the SLVLESA council sent out to each of the land, home, and business owners within this unincorporated part of Salt Lake County a letter of demand. This perversely friendly and polite letter stated that:
“We know you’re not going to be happy getting this letter or the bill in this envelope. It’s never easy paying a new fee or tax. And with the poor economy, the timing is especially inconvenient.
As leaders in Salt Lake County government, we’d much prefer to be writing you about a new service, but we also have a duty to keep our community safe. And that’s what this fee is about – preserving the safety and security that our families and businesses need to thrive.
Unfortunately, the national economic recession has hurt the budget of Salt Lake County, just like it’s hurt the pocketbooks of everyone in our community. Because sales tax revenues are down 30%, the fund that pays for law enforcement in the unincorporated areas of Salt Lake County faces a $13 million short fall.
We tried to close the gap with budget cuts. In fact, we cut the budget for non-police services (sidewalk and road repairs, animal services, and snow removal) by 26%. And we reduced the law enforcement budget by 7%. However, these cuts didn’t fill the gap.
In order to avoid a new fee or raising taxes, we would have had to lay off 60% of the police officers serving the unincorporated County. We just weren’t willing to sacrifice the safety of our community, so we instituted this new fee.
You should know that the creation of the Unified Police Department had nothing to do with the creation of this fee. As mentioned earlier, the police budget for the unincorporated county is actually less than what it was last year.
We chose the fee over a property tax increase, not because it sounds better, but because the fee is more transparent and flexible. All of the proceeds go to law enforcement, and we have the flexibility to reduce or eliminate the fee as the economy improves. The fee also allows us to broaden the tax base and charge more to businesses that put a greater burden on law enforcement. We think that’s only fair.
You may have seen some news reports about a franchise tax that might replace this fee. People in cities around Salt Lake County already pay these fees on gas, electric, cable, and telephone bills. However, even if the legislature makes this change, it may not take effect until next year, so we will still need to collect this police fee until an alternative funding source is in place.
We know this is a difficult fee to require you to pay. But, we’re all in this together. Without these funds, we wont be able to afford the police services that keep us safe.
Sincerely,
Jim Bradley
SLVLESA Chair

Now, keeping in mind that even though the Sheriff’s Department was dissolved, the same old taxes are still being collected – the second portion of this “courtesy” letter is in the form of a payment stub, or a statement of mandatory fees due. It states:
The annual fee may be paid in full, or paid in three equal installments during the year. If you pay your account in full for 2010, you will not receive another statement until next year. If you pay only the currently due installment, you will continue to receive statements until paid in full. Please see the reverse side for additional details about your payment options, the police fee, and the SLVLESA. Additional information can be found at www.slvlesa.org.
Your total Police Fee is: $174.00
A late penalty charge of $5.80 will apply if paid after 4/1/2010. Postmarks are not accepted. Electronic payments will be accepted soon. Visit www.slvlesa.org for current information.
NBS currently administers the billing for the SLVLESA. Requests for information regarding your fee, billing amount or payment should be directed to Property Owner Services of NBS at (888) 4-SLVLESA (888-475-8537)

Now the reason that this pathetically apologetic yet demanding letter sounds like a typical, poorly written service notice from one of your utility or cable/Internet companies, is because for all intents and purposes, that is exactly what the SLVLESA is. This “special district service area” is the private servicing, fund raising, and money collection corporate agency for the Unified Police Department Corporation, with the Sheriff of the County acting as the appointed CEO of that mother company.
Also notice here that the website for this “Special Financing District” is not a government website (.gov), and instead ends with the extension (.org), which any organization, private corporation, or individual can obtain.
And just to add insult to injury, Councilman Bradley tells us that the already economically stricken home and business owners in the police-state County of Salt Lake must pay this “police protection fee” despite the fact that the county has already cut more than ¼ of the services that they already pay for with their hard earned tax dollars, and after exclaiming that the police budget was already cut by 7%.
Then, a few months after the first child-like letter was written to the residents and business owners of the unincorporated areas within the Salt Lake County, a new letter appeared in the mailboxes of those who had not responded to the first letter.
This now threatening letter of demand stated:
To Date, the majority of homeowners in unincorporated Salt Lake County have paid their law enforcement district fee. However, there are a number of residents that have not. The fee is necessary to keep our neighborhoods safe, and the fee is mandatory. All residents are required to pay their fair share.
More than 33,000 of your fellow residents in the unincorporated County have already paid the first bill they received from the Salt Lake Valley Law Enforcement Service Area.
Unfortunately, we have not received your payment.
We do want to give you the benefit of the doubt. This is a new fee, and we understand there may still be some confusion regarding your responsibility to pay it. You may have even accidentally discarded your first bill.
Regardless of the reason you haven’t paid, the Board of the Service Area has instituted a grace period on late penalties that normally would have been charged. Late penalties will be waived so long as we receive your payment for the amount due, on the enclosed statement, by July 1st (2010).
For your convenience, we are also now accepting payment via credit cards, online, at www.slvlesa.org.
Note: This is not convenient in any way to the home or business owner! The convenience comes to the UPD, in the form of private corporation in California handling all the billing and paperwork to collect an unlawful tax for a few corrupt council members and a CEO Sheriff! And when we add the mailing costs and profits of this California company, we have a complete waste of taxpayer money into a private out-of-state corporation.
The letter continues:
If we have not received your payment by July 1st, your debt will be reported to the County Treasurer’s office for certification. This is the first step to a lien being placed on your property.
We hope it never gets that far. We do not want to take any of these actions. However, in fairness to all those who have paid the fee, we must take action to ensure everyone is held to the same standard.
If you have already paid your first bill and believe you are receiving this letter in error, please call (801) 468-2342.
Sincerely,
Jim Bradley Board Chair
——————————————————————–
You may pay option 1 (remaining annual), or Option 2 (currently due) amount shown below on the Amount Due line. If you pay your account in full, you will not receive another statement until next year. If you pay only the currently due amount, you will receive another statement in early September. Please see the reverse side for additional details about your payment options, the police fee, and the Salt Lake Valley Law Enforcement Service Area (SLVLESA). Additional information can be found at www.slvlesa.org.
Your 2010 Police Fee is: $174.00
Amount Due: $116.00
A late penalty charge of $11.60 will apply if paid after 7/1/10. Postmarks are not accepted.
Credit cards will be accepted starting June 1, 2010. Visit www.slvlesa.org to pay online.
The Board has waived late penalties through July 1, 2010.
So the stakes just went up in a big way for the 10’s of thousands of home and business owners in the unincorporated areas of the county. Now, if they don’t pay the “protection fee”, their home will be collateral for the fee, and the SLVLESA will take that home to cover the fee. And business owners will lose their business license, making it impossible to legally do business in the state of Utah!
Houston… we have a problem.
To make matters worse, the “police protection” that this fee is supposed to cover is not for your elected county Sheriff and his lawfully appointed deputies. But instead, it is for a private mercenary security force, that have been described by the people living in these unincorporated areas as “militant, strong, scary, and some have tattoos all the way down to their wrists“. Some residents have even stated that they would feel more safe without these thugs for hire hanging around at their quickie marts.
That takes us up to September, 2010. A new bill was drafted by the private California company on behalf of the Unified Police District, the County Council, and the Elected Sheriff and unelected CEO of the UPD:
2010 Police Fee Statement – Billing Cycle 3
Option 1 (shown below) is the only amount due. Amounts delinquent from prior installment periods, including late penalties, have been reported to Salt Lake County as delinquent. Such delinquent amounts, totaling $127.60, will be included on your 2010 property tax bill. Please see the reverse side for additional details…
Balance due: $54.25
Credit cards are now accepted.
A late penalty of $5.80 will apply if paid after 10/1/2010
Final statement for 2010.
*The County Council and Mayor voted to extend a credit as sales tax revenues were slightly higher than projected.
Now, in September, we see that anyone who did not pay their gangland style protection fee is now subject to a lien on their home through a property tax levy, meaning that now all supposedly free people who falsely believe that they own their home and property, even if it is free and clear of all debts and liens, must pay extortion money to the Unified Police Department or they run the risk of having their home and property stolen from them by their county police department, the one that is supposed to be protecting them from theft!
The County Council, including the Mayor and the Sheriff, now have the ability to take your home if you do not pay the a fee to protect you.
Hopefully, the delicious irony of this whole situation is not lost on you who are reading this.
≈
And finally, we come to February of 2011, where we see the billing cycle start fresh for the new year of forced “police protection”.
With no poorly-writen apology to accompany it this time in 2011, a new year’s cycle and a new bill has been sent out to the enslaved occupants of the unincorporated areas of Salt Lake County, that have now been forced to participate in the Salt Lake Valley Law Enforcement Service Area:
2011 Police Fee Statement – Billing Cycle 1
You may pay the Option 1 (remaining balance), or Option 2 (installments currently due) amount shown on the Amount Due line. If you pay Option 1, you will not receive another statement until next year. If you pay only Option 2, you will receive another statement in April…
Now, it is important to understand what has happened here. The person to which these letters and bills were sent has not in any way acknowledged or offered his participation or support of this action taken by the county. He, nor any of his neighbors, did not vote to implement this corporate police force, this special district run by a foreign (out-of-state) corporation, or this police protection fee. It was not wanted or needed for him to feel safe and secure in his home. The only thing he fears at this point is that the county of Salt Lake, led by the very elected Sheriff who is supposed to protect his rights of property and freedom, will soon claim that they have ownership of his land and property and will confiscate (steal) that home and land he worked so hard to obtain from under his feet.
Is this what the Sheriff is supposed to be? A mafia leader that takes peoples property as a matter of force? A protectorate of tyranny and corruption? A Chief Executive Officer of a private police force that takes peoples property by the unconstitutional legal corporate codes that they voted in without the people’s consent?
Yes. Yes. And yes. This is the new Salt Lake County. And it isn’t the first bunch of suckers to fall prey to this federalization and privatization scheme. Do you know if you still have a Sheriff’s Department? Do you know which government entities within your county have become “Special Financing Districts”?
While we have just covered the police in Salt Lake County, we also have a Unified Fire Department, now run in the same manner as the UPD. And I just recently found out that my Sewer District, named the “South Valley Sewer District” is also a special district. When questioning the receptionist as to why a lien had been put on a certain property by the Treasurer on behalf of the Sewer District, she informed me that we do not have a choice of whether we want to pay the $20.00 or so fee for the already-built-before-this-special-district-came-along sewer system. The county, it turns out, is involved in many of these types of revenue building un-voted upon districts, and the same liens and confiscation of property policies are in effect for each one.
Again, this is the definition of service at the barrel of a gun!
—————-≈—————-
Addendum:
-The Big Lie-
Is The County Indeed Broke?
—————-≈—————-
Once again, Councilman Bradley tells us in his first poorly constructed letter/bill that the home and business owners in the County of Salt Lake must pay this “police protection fee” despite the fact that the county has already cut more than ¼ of the services that they already pay for with their hard earned tax dollars, and after exclaiming that the police budget was already cut by 7%.
The stated causality of all of these budget cuts and the sudden necessity to create a fictional district and charge protection money for police services? Even as these same police drive around no doubt federally funded shiny new supped-up gas-guzzling Dodge Chargers and SUV’s, militantly armored in new black uniforms straight out of Pink Floyd’s The Wall ???
Why, “the national economic recession”, of course… Low tax, not enough property tax, and a general economic slump.
Well… I for one did not believe that excuse. You see, I just so happen to know where to look to verify whether or not a corporate government structure like “Salt Lake County”, the “Salt Lake City Corporation”, the “Draper City Corporation”, and all other private corporate “governments” in the United States are indeed telling the truth about their downtrodden economic financial circumstances.
Every government (all private corporations) by federal law must file a Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for each fiscal year of business. This report, the CAFR, is the full accounting of what that government is holding (taxes, investments and the returns on those investments, funds, bonds, etc…), as well as what it spent, saved, invested in, purchased (real estate), and transferred into other funds and state or federal governments.
Salt Lake County’s most recent CAFR, for its business year ending December 31, 2009 reveals quite a different story than what our befuddling and grammatically challenged councilman Jim Bradley stated in his diabolical letter. Let’s just examine a few areas where Salt Lake County is hiding, or at least not reporting to the public in its purposefully limited general budgetary statements, more than enough money to pay for police services and beyond!
Remember, this is only the county, and not the individual cities, which each have thier own CAFR’s.
On page 16 of this revealing comprehensive annual financial report, Salt Lake County Auditor Jeff Hatch, along with the Director of Accounting and Operations, Stephen G. Spencer write in the “Manager’s Discussion and Analysis”, under the “Financial Highlights section”, that:
“The County’s government-wide net assets (the amount by which assets exceed liabilities) as of December 31, 2009 were $897.3 million.”
“The portion of net assets which represents the amount the County can use to meet ongoing financial obligations is the unrestricted net assets. This amount was $82.7 million at December 31, 2009, a decrease of $5.9 million from the end of 2008. This decrease is explained generally by the economic decline.” –So, the County had $82.7 million in cash and liquid or sellable assets with no restrictions it could have spent on the “deficit” and on the Police, but did not—
On page 20, under the section entitled “Significant changes in expenses”, it states:
“Combined sales taxes and transient room taxes decreased $13.0 million compared to 2008 due primarily to declining taxable sales and decreased tourism, both coming as a result of the general economic downturn.”
However…
“Property taxes increased $5.8 million or 3.1% compared to 2008…” -meaning that our dear County Council and the SLVLESA either lied to the people of Salt Lake County, or is just more corrupt than anyone can imagine.
And…
“Government-wide expenses overall were $31.6 million less than the prior year. This represents a 5.5% decrease compared to 2008.”
And…
“Public works expenses decreased approximately $5.0 million. Due to shrinking budgets, less funding was available to maintain roads, plow snow, etc. Therefore, actual expenses had to be reduced to adjust to budget cuts.”
And…
“Interest on long-term debt decreased $2.3 million (13.4% less than 2008 expense) primarily because certain bonds were recently paid off…”
≈
Therefore, when Councilman Bradley stated in his original letter that sales tax revenues were down for 2009/2010, he may have (purposely) forgot to disclose the above-mentioned facts, which quite belittle this fearful but well-played talking point used in his letter of demand to the people of the unincorporated county, now labeled the SLVLESA, for payment of a police “protection fee”.
But these are just small inconsequential potatoes when we realize what other wealth the County is hiding from us…
On page 23, as stated within the “Financial Analysis of Salt Lake County Funds” section, it states:
“As of December 31, 2009, aggregated fund balances of all governmental funds were $270.5 million, which is a $27.8 million increase over the prior year…”
“Approximately 57.3% (or $154.9 million) of the aggregated fund balances is unrestricted and undesignated, which represents $54.0 million of the General Fund equity which is available for appropriation by the County Council at its discretion, and $56.2 million in capital projects funds and $44.7 million in special revenue funds assigned for fund purposes.”
“As compared to 2008, the undesignated fund balance of the General Fund increased 37.5%, or $8.5 million. In general, this increase occurred as a natural consequence of the budget plan. Namely, the governing body determined the General Fund equity should be built up during 2009 so the minimum reserve policy could be preserved. So, the budget was structured to achieve that goal.This plan included substantial budget reductions and one-time transfers in.”
On page 52, we can see that Salt Lake County has some money socked away in the “Utah Public Treasurers’ Investment Fund (PTIF)” to the tune of $303,803,493.00 as of December 31, 2009.
This fund is described in the CAFR as:
“A voluntary external local government investment pool managed by the Utah State Treasurer to improve investment efficiency and yield. These monies are invested in securities permitted by the (Utah Money Management) Act and contain no withdrawal restrictions other than timely notice of intent to withdraw an amount greater than $2 million. Investment activity of the State Treasurer in the management of the PTIF is reviewed monthly by the Council and is audited by the Utah State Auditor. Monies invested in this fund are not insured and are subject to the same market risks as any similar investment in money market funds.”
To add even more insult to our community’s economic pain, it states:
“Government and agency securities include long-term loans issued by the Agency for InternationalDevelopment which are registered and fully guaranteed by the Federal government.”
And, so instead of using that money to benefit the people of Salt Lake County or even the State of Utah, it is invested in federal:
“…certificates of deposit, U.S. Treasury obligations, U.S. agency issues, high-grade commercial paper, banker’s acceptances, repurchase agreements, corporate bonds, money market mutual funds, and obligations of governmental entities within the state of Utah (meaning obligations to the Fed and other private corporations).”
And much of it is invested For “International Development”, leaving us poor tax-strapped Utahans out in the cold.
In fact, on page 152 it reports the total (on balance sheet) governmental fund balance totals since the year 2000 (not including funds like the above mentioned Public Treasurers’ Investment Fund (PTIF) listed above, as this is not a designated government operational fund, just an extra risky, barely legal investment fund). This is a good look at how governments continue to grow their power and wealth base over time, and why you should always look at what government totals are for a period of many years or decades, and not just one year (Note: these are just governmental funds, not all funds).
This chart shows that:
1) End of fiscal year 2000 fund balances totaled over $20 million for the general fund, and almost $80 million for all other governmental funds combined.
2) End of fiscal year 2005 fund balances totaled over $47.5 million for the general fund, and almost $179 million for all other governmental funds combined.
3) End of fiscal year 2009 fund balances totaled over $36.2 million for the general fund, and almost $235 million for all other governmental funds combined.
4) The actual portion of these fund totals as of fiscal year 2009 ending December 31 of 2009, again listed as unreserved (not appropriated/apportioned for anything specific in the future) for all of these funds is listed at $190,731,914.
So, not including the $303.8 million from the State Treasurers Investment Fund above as well as other listed investments, Salt Lake County has more than $190 million dollars that could have been spent on the budgetary obligations of the county, like police, schools… (and how about those ever-expanding potholes?) – but are instead sitting in a multiple funds being invested and building wealth – not for the people, but for the corporate government called Salt Lake County, its Council, its Sheriff, and its Mayor. Instead, taxes are raised, fees are charged, and necessary public services – including school and police services – are cut to the extreme!
And yet even trickier ways of hiding money and assets can be found hidden within the comprehensive annual financial reports, as we can see on page 64, where it states:
“8.6 Defeased Bonds—In prior years, the County defeased certain general obligation and lease revenue bonds by placing the proceeds of the new refunding bonds in an irrevocable trust escrow account to provide for future debt service payments on the old bonds. Accordingly, the trust account assets and the liability for the defeased bonds are not included in the statement of net assets. At December 31, 2009, $152,500,000 general obligation and lease revenue bonds outstanding are considered defeased.”
That’s another $152.5 million dollars we can add to the list of hidden of “off-balance sheet” assets not reported to the people of the county on the taxpayer budget.
And so the moral of the story is that the County of Salt Lake and that of the 99.9% of governments across the nation are not losing, but rather gaining money hand over fist each year, but not reporting this to its people in any comprehensible way, except on this comprehensive annual financial reporting system which is not discussed in any open or candid way with the public, ever. Instead, the people get the taxpayer budget report, accounting for tax in and tax and deficit out, never mentioning these hidden funds and investments; knowing that Americans have been dumbed down by design to never even imagine that this shell game and massive theft of taxpayer money, land, and corporate takeover and governance can possibly be taking place right under our noses.
And these “Special Financing Districts” are being set up all over the country as well, unnecessarily double-taxing the people within, and using their land and property as collateral without even their slightest comprehension.
≈
I have now given you this information, even with the fear of retaliation from my police-state, my corporate CEO Sheriff Winder, his private police force, the Mayors of each city and the County, and the County Council – who are all involved in this scheme.
Remember, the mayors of each city are on the board of directors of this UPD, along with the County Council and the Mayor, as stated above, “The new department (UPD) will be run by mayors of participating cities.” It is also rumored (from a reputable inside anonymous source) that the mayors of each city and the county mayor are meeting monthly, all together, at a different undisclosed private location each month, the knowledge of which is kept secret from the public.
This is organized crime… a well-oiled machine of corruption.
And this is not at all dissimilar to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which now that we understand the above information, could really be considered the ultimate in “Special Financing Districts”, covering the whole district of the United States, and taking the homes and property of millions of Americans for not paying what they also call a mandatory un-apportioned tax!
And for all of this, I am calling for an immediate recall and subsequent arrest and imprisonment by Grand Jury indictment of all parties involved, for the reinstatement of the lawful and constitutional Sheriff’s Department, and a reaffirmation of its lawful, constitutional purpose in Salt Lake County and the state by new law.
I am hopeful that the few elected lawful and constitutional Sheriff’s of other counties left in Utah, to which I will be sending this information, will rise up at their Sheriff’s Association meetings and commit to supporting those like me who wish to resolve this situation in the lawful manner described above, as well as helping to disseminate this information nationally to all law enforcement and military outfits, but especially to our still lawful Sheriffs. And I am hopeful that they will be supportive of a law that will never allow this type of corruption to happen again.
And now, if you have gotten this far, I am asking you who are reading this to please pass this information on, with the author’s (my) permission, to be posted, edited, re-written, and placed in any publication, newspaper, or website. I only ask that my name also be submitted as the original writer and researcher of this article, without any compensation or contract required.
This is too important to be shelved. Copyrights and credits be damned, for we are in serious collective trouble as a people. And this police-state tyranny, if it hasn’t already, is coming to a county near you.
Please stand up for your rights, and play this forward…
This post, which is now over 6 years old, signifies my first flirtation with the STRAWMAN concept of personhood. I invite you instead to read a free copy (.pdf) of my new book, released June 17th, 2016, by going to this link –> StrawmanStory.info
I leave this post up for posterity, a glimpse into my own former ignorance, and wish readers to know that my knowledge has increased two-fold since this was written, and I do not, I repeat, do not in any way support the SPC or other commercial routes. Please read my book, for what is missing in this post.

I’d like to tell you about a man named Joe…
I met Joe serendipitously via a forwarded email not too long ago, and contacted him shortly thereafter. It seemed as though Joe was having a few problems and complications while trying to be a free and sovereign man, as well as a “Secured Party Creditor“.
I met up with Joe for coffee just a few days later and found that we had much of the same information and shared many of the same values, including an urgent desire to be truly free human beings on this earth and within this once great country. Joe lives here in Salt Lake County, Utah part-time, part-time in Mobile, Alabama, and in China the rest of the time. Being fortunate enough to have traveled the world myself for a number of years, I have a good idea of what unique and wonderful cultures the Asian continent holds. And so as Joe argued that he likes to live in China most of the time simply because that so-called “Communist” country is 100 times more free than America, I wholeheartedly and sincerely had a difficult time disagreeing with him.
Now, this might seem to be the most ridiculous notion in the world to you, you who possibly have never traveled anywhere outside of these United prison States, and so have only the media as a reference to the illogical fallacies of America’s superior government and freedoms. But then, how could you possibly know that only about 200 of the well over 1 billion people we call collectively the Chinese are actually communists?
The wealthy government? Communist.
The people? Just regular people like you and me.
Do you think that because the Democratic Party (a private corporation) is in control of the United States government today and for the next couple of years, that all citizens of the United States are Democrats?
No. That would be a ridiculous and illogical fallacy based on no fact or scientific observation at all.
So then, do you think that because the Communist Party is in control of China’s government, that all Chinese people are Communists as well?
No. That would be a ridiculous and illogical fallacy based on no fact or scientific observation at all.
And come to think of it, how could you know that your U.S. constitution was suspended by the Act of April 9, 1933 by congressional approval and the declaration of emergency powers, and that all authority was handed over to the President of the United States, then one Franklin Delano Roosevelt? And how could you know that we are still living under that same declared state of emergency today? How indeed… The public school system certainly doesn’t teach us that now does it…
“Supposedly, governments were invented to make human life easier and safer. But governments always end up enslaving humanity. That which we create to “serve” us ends up ruling us. The U.S. government by and for the people… now imprisons millions, takes half the national income by force, over-regulates, punishes, tortures, slaughters foreigners, invades countries, overthrows governments, imposes 700 imperialistic bases overseas, inflates the currency, and crashes future generations with massive debts. That which we create to serve us ends up ruling us. The problem with the “state as servant” thesis is that it is historically, completely false, both empirically and logically. The idea that states were voluntarily invented by citizens to enhance their own security is utterly untrue… The earliest governments and empires were in fact a ruling class of slave-hunters, who understood that because human beings could produce more than they consumed, they were worth hunting, capturing, breaking in, and owning… When cows are placed in very confining stalls, they beat their heads against the walls resulting in injuries and infections. Thus farmers now give them more room; not because they want to set their cows free, but rather because they want greater productivity and lower costs. The next stop after free-range is not freedom. The rise of state capitalism in the 19th century was actually the rise of free-range serfdom. Additional “liberties” were granted to the (human) livestock not with the goal of setting them free, but rather with the goal of increasing their productivity… When you look at a map of the world, you are not looking at countries, but farms. You are allowed certain liberties: limited property ownership, movement rights, freedom of association and occupation; not because your government approves of these rights in principle – since it constantly violates them – but rather because free-range livestock is so much cheaper to own, and so much more productive… State capitalism, socialism, communism, fascism, democracy… these are all livestock management approaches. Some work well for long periods… and some work very badly. They all fail eventually because it is immoral and irrational to treat human beings as livestock… Rulers have recognized that if they prevent you from fleeing the farm, you will become depressed, inert, and unproductive. A serf is the most productive when he imagines he is free. Thus your rulers must provide you the illusion of freedom in order to harvest you most effectively. Thus you are allowed to leave, but never to real freedom, only to another farm. Because the whole world is a farm. They will prevent you from taking a lot of money, they will bury you in endless paperwork, they will restrict your right to work… but you are “free” to leave. Due to these difficulties very few people do leave, but the illusion of mobility is maintained. If only 1 out of 1000 cows’ escape, but the illusion of escaping significantly raises the productivity for the remaining 999, it remains a net gain for the farmer. You are also kept on the farm through licensing. The most productive livestock are the (so-called educated) “professionals”. So the rulers fit them with an electronic dog collar called a license, which only allows them to practice their trade on their own farm. To further create the illusion of freedom, in certain farms the livestock are allowed to choose between a few farmers (politicians) that the investors present. At best they are given minor choices (votes) in how they are managed. (But) they are never given the choice to shut down the farm and be truly free. Government schools are indoctrination pens for livestock. They train children to “love the farm” and to fear true freedom and independence, and to attack anyone who questions the brutal reality of human ownership. Furthermore they create jobs for the intellectuals that state propaganda so relies on. The idea that democracy and some sort of social contract justifies the brutal exercise of violent power over billions is patently ridiculous. If you say to a slave that his ancestors “chose” slavery and therefore he is bound by their decisions, he will simply say ‘If slavery is a choice, then I choose not to be a slave.‘ This is the most frightening statement for the ruling classes, which is why they train their slaves to attack anyone who dares speak it. Statism is an ideology, and all ideologies are variations on human livestock management practices. Nationalism is pimped-out bigotry, designed to provoke a “Stockholm Syndrome” in the livestock… You do not have to be livestock. Take the red pill. Wake up…” —Stefan Molyneux

Anyway, as we sipped our coffee, Joe and I began a long discussion about many things, and he thankfully filled in many pieces of the puzzle that I had been missing about the “Secure Party Creditor” issue and the many facets of being a creditor instead of a debtor.
And so, with the disclaimer that this is not legal or lawful advise (just covering my A$$) I am now going to share what I have learned. I recommend to everyone reading this to do your own research and verify everything I say here today. I would also highly recommend that you take my advice offered below, and go to your local “Justice Center” and sit in court as an observer. You will be amazed at what you see once you comprehend the following information…
≈
What Is My STRAWMAN?
≈
≈
Webster’s Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary defines the term “strawman” as:
1: a weak or imaginary opposition set up only to be easily confuted.
2: a person set up to serve as a cover for a usually questionable transaction.
≈
The Strawman can be summed up as an imaginary, passive stand-in for the real participant; a front; a blind; a person regarded as a nonentity. The Strawman is a “shadow,” a go-between.
≈
So let’s start off with a bit of background…
First, understand that the government is a collection of private corporations. Chances are you live in an incorporated municipality, nicknamed the “City” or the “Town” or the “Borough“, located within the “County”, which in turn is located within the “State”. This is the corporation acting as the “Government” of that “City“. For instance, I live in the Draper City Corporation, and around me are the Provo City Corporation and the Salt Lake City Corporation. These are the actual names of the “city” governments, called “incorporated municipalities”.
See a complete evidential examination of this corporate structure and its Comprehensive Annual Financial Reporting (CAFR) system in my documentary “The Corporation Nation” here: http://thecorporationnation.com/
The corporate municipality then creates De-Facto statutory code, for which they nickname “The Law“… though most of these codes are not actually congressionally approved law (approved by our so-called representative congressmen), but are instead what is called Prima Facie (presumed) law (legality), for which all citizens are required by the corporation they contract with to follow with their due consent. But legal corporate CODE is only statutory law if it receives the acquiescence (consent) of the governed. We, the People are the governed. Without our consent, the Prima Facie presumption of law (CODE) has no legal standing. It has no authority backing it up accept our agreement that it is law, since the consensual agreement by the governed makes the contractual aspect of the legality null and void if it is not consented to. While a legality/CODE may not always be lawful, law always trumps legality if consent is not given to the legality (presumed law).
Common Law, or Case Law, should be studied and understood. It is up to you to know this case-law, or at least the ones that apply to your specific case, so that it can be considered as common law. Why? Because U.S. CODE is 157 feet long in dozens of volumes, so no human being could possibly know the law (CODE)! So if you want common law to be considered in a court of law, you will have to research and present that case-law to the court yourself. The so-called judge (an attorney in a black moo-moo) has no legal requirement to introduce case-law (common law) into his own court regardless of whether or not it would prove your innocence, nor does the prosecuting attorney, and believe it or not, neither does your defending attorney (an agent of the court, not you)! This is why defending yourself with the knowledge of jurisdiction and common law is paramount. In other words, if you want the court and/or the jury (always request/demand a jury trial, lest the privately incorporated judge seal your fate) to consider actual law, you must be the one to introduce and ensure that this law is read in the court and duly registered as evidence of common (case) law.
The “municipality” then hires police officers to enforce all of these legal codes. These are called code-enforcement officers – a police man veiled in municipal corporate authority becomes a police officer – an officer of the municipal corporation. These “officers” work for the municipal corporation (city or town) you live in; a private corporate police force, enforcing the codes created by this private corporation, but not necessarily the common law. They have no requirement to protect and serve you or your neighbor’s constitutional rights (since you really have none in a corporate structure under a declared “state of emergency”), but they are required only to protect the continuity and CODE of the municipal corporation they serve. They are only there to help you to obey CITY, COUNTY, STATE, and U.S. CODE by fining and arresting you if you do not obey that CODE. These codes that I am referring to are all corporate codes, as all of these cities, counties, states, and the United States (Federal municipality, Washington D.C.) are also incorporated entities.
Though you may live in what is referred to as an unincorporated area, you are still within a county or state corporation, and part of THE UNITED STATES INCORPORATED, the corporate veil of artificial person-hood that is laying on top of and killing slowly the united states of America.
In an unincorporated area (a city or town that is not a municipal corporation) your law enforcement agency is the County Sheriff. This is why the County Sheriff is of such vital importance to any of the freedoms we still do enjoy, the only truly lawful representative (elected and approved by the people) of common law. Many elected sheriffs across the country though have sold out their people by assigning away that lawful right in lieu of Federal grants and United Nations treaties. Salt Lake County’s Sheriff Jim Winder is no exception. After being elected to a second term in office, he and the poisonous County Council dissolved the Sheriff’s department and created a private corporation called the “Unified Police District”, of which the elected Sheriff became the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of that now private incorporated police force. Counties across America are falling prey to this act of treason, loosing the last vestige of protection of their common law rights, and Salt Lake County is now literally a “police state”.

Into The World We Are Berthed
≈
But for some real perspective, let’s go back even further, to the day you were born.
The collective corporation wastes no time in grabbing up its slaves and forcing them into indentured servitude as citizens. The seemingly harmless act of filling out a certificate of live birth ensures that you, a living breathing human being with a soul, are ushered into this corporate structure without any chance to challenge this action. Your parents have just signed their new born baby, birthed into the United States under Maritime Law and Universal Commercial Code (The Law Of The Sea) like a ship docking into the port of New York, over to the Federal Government by way of a Certificate of Live Birth. This contract places its listed contents (you) as property of the United States Government. You are born into servitude, and you are immediately considered to be collateral for the good faith and credit of the United States Government, U.S. INC. You are now part of the herd, a herd of human chattel, enslaved from inception. And you have just been veiled in an artificial person-hood; you have been incorporated and given a STRAWMAN corporate name similar to your human name.
Unfortunately, all you can do in response at that tender age is to burp and maybe wet yourself after a good cry!
Now, it is important to comprehend that all of this happened at an age before you, as a living free human being with a soul, had any way to read, comprehend (under-stand), acquiesce (consent), or sign (agree to in writing) this contractual incorporation of your legal person.
Consent cannot be lawfully given for any contract without full disclosure and acquiescence of said contract. This is basic, standard contract law. The state contracts with you anyway by way of its legal Prima Facie prerogative to do so, at the tender age of Zero. And so your parents signed ownership of you as a commodity over to the government without even realizing the fate they had just sealed for you as their parents had unwittingly done to them. They just signed away, without comprehension or acquiescence, their most prized possession to the state. And this is why the so-called government agency called “Child Protective Services” has the legal jurisdiction of acquiring your children at any time it sees fit. Your parents gave them that right at your birth, as you likely did or will do with your own children at their birth.
Of course, you can never retrieve your original Birth Certificate from the Federal Government. You can only request to acquire a certified copy of that document. The original is kept in the corporation called Washington D.C. (a private corporate “district” outside of the 50 states united) and used as collateral. You are that collateral, as the “attorney-in-fact” (representative) of that STRAWMAN trust, which is created under your “STRAWMAN” corporate name. This trust is accessed in times of corporate commerce, like when a loan, credit card, or contract is written in our STRAWMAN name.
My free name is Clint P Richardson.
My STRAWMAN name is CLINT P RICHARDSON.
All legal contracts will be in the all capital letter name, representing my corporate person, not me as a living breathing human being. Take a look at your driver’s license and any contracts you have and notice this all capital letter you.
I can talk about “Target” as the name of the physical building that houses the store that I am going to visit, but it’s true corporate name is TARGET CORPORATION.
More on this later…
≈
Ownership?
≈
Just like the Birth Certificate, anytime you “register” anything with the state, you are assigning ownership of that thing over to the state. This is why the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), through the private municipal code-enforcement police force, can take your vehicle at any time they see fit. Your consent was given for this as soon as you signed the authorized signature line of your registration forms. But even before that, you learned these codes set up by the state, and you acquired a license to drive, signing away your God-given common law right to travel in lieu of permission from the state to drive on the authorized signature line. That license gave your consent to the state, county, and municipal corporations to enforce those traffic codes upon you, as you are the carrier of your artificial person (STRAWMAN) – your corporate “person” – that you carry with you like a veil of invisible clothing. The word incorporate indeed stems from the Latin word corpus, meaning to veil something in artificial person-hood. This is what a corporation is: an artificial person, with 1st amendment rights of free speech due to precedent set by private corporate courts (the laughably titled Justice System) over the years.
So that I am making myself clear, the “Authorized Signature” line is on most contracts and even on your own personal or business checkbook. When they say, “sign on the dotted line”, they are referring to this “dotted” authorized signature line. But if we look closer, this is not a line at all. If you take a magnifying glass out and look at the line where you place your signature on your personal checks, you will discover a frightening surprise… That dotted line actually says:
By signing that line as a free and natural human being with a soul, you are authorizing your STRAWMAN corporate “person” to engage in commerce within the corporation, using Federal Reserve Notes out of your checking account.
What do Federal Reserve Notes have to do with this transaction?
Remember, when you were born, and then more importantly when you received a Social Security Number (SSN), you became collateral for the good faith and credit of the United States Government; for the corporation acting as the De Facto government.
De Facto means “in practice but not necessarily ordained by law” -or– “in practice or actuality, but without being officially established.” – For example: the people obey a contract as though there were a law enforcing it, yet there is no such law (only presumed law by consent of the two parties in the contract). This is our government… a corporation not allowed or not being operated under the jurisdiction of law, but only by its own legal CODE, of which requires the consent of the governed (the contracted citizens). These CODES are like the codes at your job: if you don’t like the rules, you quit.
De Jure means “what the law says” -or- “concerning the law”. It is the common, natural law and it is the basis of a constitutional republic. The original constitution for the united states of America was indeed a De Jure common law consensu al contract. But as we discussed earlier, that piece of paper was suspended and a fictional corporate constitution was enacted in its place by a dictatorial De Facto Executive government.
If you look at the back of your Social Security card (a unit of the International Monetary Fund – IMF) you will find a set of digits. These digits are different from the ones that make up your SS#. This one starts with a letter and is followed by 8 numbers instead of 9.
Now look at any $1 dollar bill…
Notice that the serial number that is on the front lower left side of that Federal Reserve Note has one letter and 8 numbers, followed by another letter. Drop the last letter, and you have a dollar bill whose serial number matches a Social Security (CUSIP) number for some STRAWMAN in the United States.
Your STRAWMAN trust is used as this collateral. This serial number represents the corporate trust account of your STRAWMAN that was set up when you were birthed into artificial person-hood, as accessed by your Social Security Number.
Since all contracts you sign on the authorized (STRAWMAN) signature line represent Federal Reserve Notes, and since all commerce you enter into is also using this debt money system, your are contracted with the state and its taxes by consent when using these “U.S. Dollars”.
When you go to a bank and sign a loan application, that application and the promissory note that you sign gets turned into money via the fractional reserve system. This is how new money is created. It is not money, in reality, but rather what is called “evidence of debt”. This simply means that each Federal Reserve Note, digital or paper, is the debt of the country. It must be paid back to the FED as this money was created or borrowed by the people (chattel). So instead of money, we carry around debt papers; I.O.U’s if you will, all representing one STRAWMAN or another…
Thus, since the (property) home or automobile you have purchased is with that newly created money out of your STRAWMAN trust account through the fractional reserve banking system, it is the property of the state!
It is important to understand here what the government has defined as “property”, and why it grants itself the authority to seize the property of any citizen who contracts with it:
“The ultimate ownership of all property is in the State; individual so-called “ownership” is only by virtue of government, i.e. law, amounting to mere user; and user must be in accordance with law and subordinate to the necessities of the State.”—Senate Document No. 43,73D Congress, 1st Session, entitled: “Contracts Payable in Gold”, by George Cyrus Thorpe, submitted to the senate: April 17, 1933
This is a very revealing senatorial document. It sheds light on the concept of government and its requirement of permission and licenses. It also explains why all property must be registered with the state.
Who owns all property? Who owns the home and the land it sits on that you call your own? Who has the authority or permission to mortgage property?
“The money will be worth 100 cents on the dollar because it is backed by the credit of the Nation. It will represent a mortgage on all the homes and other property of all the people in the Nation.”–Congressman Patman, speaking from the Congressional Record of March 9, 1933, and referring to the Act of March 9, 1933.

Do You Need A License Or Permit To Drive, Hunt, And Fish?
≈
According to the state, which holds your “STRAWMAN” in contract, you do, as you are the legal representative of that fictional “STRAWMAN” signing on the authorized signature line of all contracts.
Your contract (license and registration) with DMV is the very reason why you must obey the codes set up by the DMV.
And your hunting and fishing license is a contract in which you give up your natural and common law right to hunt and fish and instead accept not only the permission (permit), but all the legalities, limits, and seasons imposed by the state though that contract.
But what about my new friend Joe? Remember Joe?
Since Joe is a free man not driving but living and traveling on the land without intentionally being contracted with the private corporation we know as the De Facto government, he does not need a permit or license to do what free men like himself have the right to do.
This is the difference between a God-given right and a state-granted privilege.
Rights are foolishly and contractually given up for this state permission.
Traveling is a lawful term. Driving is a legal term.
Traveling is a right. Driving is a privilege.
But of course, the corporate De Facto police still harass and write citations for Joe, despite the fact that he has no license plate number or driver’s license number to reference on the ticket or citation, nor a permit number to reference for anything he does, like hunting and fishing. And so this is a real conundrum. For Joe is one of many thousands of brave individuals acting as free men (and women) across this once free country. And sadly, Joe has no support from the rest of the indentured slaves, who have come to value their particular brand of servitude under contract to the state. People – corporate persons – actually self-police their code-enforced society and turn in people like Joe to the code-enforcement officers as if he is breaking the law! This is only due to the fact that most corporate persons (citizens of UNITED STATES INC.) do not know what law is, because corporate government legality and CODES have been laid over the law; a thinly veiled yet heavily enforced set of rules that go against everything a free and constitutional society in a republic form of government should stand for.
They have been spun by the mainstream media, and even by much of the alternative media, that democracy is freedom. The word republic has long disappeared from public media discourse. Of course, since a republic ensures that all people are represented in government and in common law as free men, no matter how small the minority is – even a minority of one – a democracy ensures that a certain percent of the population up to 49.99% must submit to the will of the “vote” of the other 50.01%. So in a democracy, 1 – 50% of the people can have their rights taken away by the other half.
And this is called freedom?
Of course, these people who are on the legal majority side are the people who turn in other people for not obeying the legal CODES that they blindly follow, mistaking these legalities as laws. They vote what their media tells them. The minority, in this case Joe, is harassed, cursed, condemned, and cast out as insane. Thus, the democratic process is complete.
The republic for which Joe still stands will always be there though, despite the veil of corporate governance that has usurped the beauty of that free republic. And Joe will never give his consent to this democracy… the duped voting and consenting public who are strangled and blinded by their STRAWMAN.
≈
Joe Goes To Court!
≈
Now that we have a grasp on what the “STRAWMAN” is and that as contracted corporate persons we are conducting all business within this De Facto presumed law government, let’s talk about what a court is.
In California and some other states, through the freedom of information act, this is a proven reality. In fact, the judge is the owner of that court, rents that court out in an official capacity to the city, county, or state for a multi-million dollar lease, and even write checks on dummy accounts that are not registered with the IRS.
The private corporate court earns a percentage of the amount of money it collects in fines, and also receives kickbacks by placing citizens in prison or on probation. All prisoners are assigned a CUSIP number based on that prisoner’s STRAWMAN trust. This CUSIP # is then bundled up with other CUSIP numbers and sold as bundled securities on the securities markets. These are bundled persons. Prisoners are commodities for which the fruit of their labor is traded. This is why jails are overflowing, and why so many people get unsupervised probation for so many months. Probationary status is still a form of incarceration, and community service is often assigned. People on probation receive the CUSIP number as well, and are bundled just like the in-house prisoners.
Obviously, this is a racket! But as slaves of the corporation, used as chattel and collateral, we are subject to this tyranny by consent.
By simple definition, what is a Secured Party Creditor (SPC)?
Joe placed all of his valuables, including his home, land, automobiles, and other property of value (only property without liens) into SPC status. This simply means that Joe, at the signing of this UCC1 form, rescinded his contracts with the state and became the true owner of his own property. He went from being a debtor to the state (where the state owns his property and allows him to use his home and vehicle with permission and license after being registered to the state), to being a creditor for himself (where Joe legally and lawfully owns his property himself without the requirement to register it with the state or to get permission or license from the state to use and operate his own property).
So now, by owning the property listed in his Secured Party Creditor document, no contract is needed with the state in the form of a license to drive (Joe is traveling freely by law, not driving).
Joe has no driver’s license, no license plates, no registration, and no insurance.
Most of the enslaved debtor chattel would hear this and gasp, thinking that Joe is “getting away with something” here. That’s only because the enslaved masses have never truly met anyone that is actually responsible for his own actions, a truly free man on the land. Joe is not getting away with anything. Joe is taking the law into his own hands and squashing corporate legality under his big toe!
And since Joe has no driver’s license number, nor a license plate number, the police have a very tough time writing Joe an infraction (ticket). Since he is not operating within the vehicle code and is not able to be tracked by the DMV and legal system, cops get really confused. You see, cops do not know much about law. They only know CODE. And so when Joe comes traveling through their municipality with his homemade plates that say “Private Property, Not For Hire”, they have no reference point to justify a ticket. They get really confused and even angry without really knowing why. How can they write a ticket for breaking a legal code if a man is not bound or contracted to follow those codes? In escence, Joe is challenging their authority, and they don’t like that.
I accompanied Joe on one of his court dates in front of one of the most corrupt “Justice Courts” in the County of Salt Lake. This was the West Valley Justice Center, presided over by one Judge Keith Stoney, accused wife-beater. This guy looked and acted like an evil Dick Cheney, which is saying a lot. And, after watching several other cases before Joe where this fake judge stole hoards of cash in the 10’s of thousands from the people attending their court dates, and after actually hearing this crook say to one of the defendants as he slammed down his gavel in a fit of unholy rage and undue authority, “You owe me $900 dollars!”, the slick public prosecutor called for Joe.
Now, before the official court session was started, the bailiff announced to the courtroom to “all rise” for the honorable Judge Stoney, to which everyone in the courtroom acquiesced. That is, except for Joe and I. We remained seated, as we did not wish for the court to construe that we consent to or acknowledge the court’s or the judge’s jurisdiction or authority. This “judge” was neither honorable nor in a position of power over us, and our insolent act of remaining seated was the first step in acknowledgment of that fact. Every effort was made to never enter into any type of contract or admission of guilt or loss of authority. Joe is the authority over the judge, not the other way around. Only a jury of Joe’s peers in a common law court accepted by Joe can have that kind of authority. This was one of the purest acts of non-consent.
Joe, who has Multiple Sclerosis and uses two canes, was sitting in the front row of seats just outside of the “Bar”. The Bar is the wall (generally a wooden fence which may have a gate) between the seats in the courtroom and the actual court. Once you cross over the Bar from the seating section and into the court, you have just entered into a foreign land. This is the jurisdiction of Universal Commercial Code and Maritime Law, as represented by the war flag with gold fringe hanging in every courtroom. Crossing the Bar is the first step to loosing your common law rights; by leaving the constitutionally defined state‘s free land and lawful jurisdiction and entering into the court’s legal UCC jurisdiction.
Joe never crossed the Bar…
He told the judge that he could conduct himself in the seat that he was sitting in, and that getting up and entering into the court was too much of a hardship for his handicap. This was his angle; it was true, and it worked.
Judge Stoney, having previously received written Statements Of Notice from Joe that he would sue the judge for his bond if he proceeded in any unlawful and non-common law way with his case, considering that Joe was not contracted with the state, did not argue with Joe. Joe gave the judge an out, and the judge decided to take that out. All of this happened without even a spoken word, and without even the slightest clue of anyone else in that courtroom, attorney’s included. Because attorney’s don’t know law either, only corporate legality and CODE.
So Joe never really entered into the courts’ or the judges’ jurisdiction, either physically or verbally!
Note: Joe was making a “special appearance“, and definitely not a “general appearance“. Please research on your own what these terms mean. They may save your liberties some day:
“When a plaintiff sues a defendant, the plaintiff chooses the court in which to bring the suit. However, that court may not be able to exercise jurisdiction over a defendant. A special appearance provides a method for a defendant to contest a court’s jurisdiction over his person and property.” (Very important!!!)
“When a defendant makes a special appearance in court, he does not appear in the court, but stipulates that his appearance is strictly for the purpose of contesting the court’s personal jurisdiction over him. The defendant will be able to engage with the court in a debate over the validity of his contacts with the state, but he may not open any other subject or the court may consider him to be making a general appearance, and therefore subject to jurisdiction.”
“Courts have ruled that a general appearance by the defendant constitutes purposeful availment and thus justifies exercise of jurisdiction. A defendant makes a general appearance when he shows up in that forum state’s court for the purposes of answering the plaintiff’s claim. Because a general appearance indicates the defendant’s willingness to have the court adjudicate the dispute (and thus the defendant’s use of the benefits and protections of the state), making a general appearance in a state court will subject the defendant to personal jurisdiction in that state.”
Note: This is where most people slip up, by accidentally entering into contract and jurisdiction with the court by agreeing with the judge about something. It could be the simple act of sitting down or taking off their hat when the judge asks them to, or answering to the STRAWMAN name without stating that you are not that corporate person, all of which can be legally construed as an acknowledgment of understanding (standing under) the judges authority and jurisdiction. Thus, the judge rules that their appearance is now a “general” one, and they are stuck in the courts jurisdiction. Be careful!!!
When asked for a plea, Joe said that he didn’t want to plea, and added for fun that he didn’t understand why he needed to.
Entering a plea is an admission of guilt… or it is an automatic ticket to a future trial with anot guilty plea. Either way, you would be in the courts jurisdiction through verbal or signed contract (plea). Some would choose to verbally state on the record that they are “innocent” in lieu of an official plea, referring to the common law constitutional coda that all men are innocent until proven guilty. But Joe simply did not enter a plea, which really makes it hard for the court to continue with its sham of justice.
Next, and this threw me for a loop until I figured out what he was doing, Joe became what I thought was a bumbling idiot… he kept saying that he didn’t understand anything that the judge was telling him. Over and over he stated this. And, after a few obviously half-assed attempts to have a normal court proceeding, the judge set a date for moderation, not trial.
Joe’s continuous response of “I don’t understand” was a well-played defense, and only two people in that courtroom knew what it meant – Joe and the judge!
By stating that he didn’t lawfully understand, Joe never entered into a verbal contract with the judge. He never accepted or acquiesced to anything that was said in that courtroom, making no verbal agreements.
You see… the word understand needs to be taken apart and examined before its true legal meaning can be comprehended.
To under-stand is really to stand under.
By stating that he understood anything that the judge said in that courtroom, Joe would have been stating that he stands under the courts authority and jurisdiction. This obviously means something totally different than it does in everyday conversational situations, and there is good reason for that…
For when a corporate code-enforcement officer arrests you and reads you your “Miranda” rights, the last statement he makes is, “Do you under stand these rights as I have read them to you?”
If you say yes, you have just verbally consented to stand under the authority of the corporation and its code for which this enforcement officer represents, and you have agreed to these so-called “rights” like, “Anything you say can and will be used against you”.
Why would you agree to that?
By saying that you don’t under stand, these rights can not be applied to you.
Some free men even go so far as to say that they “over stand” what the judge or police officer is saying, leaving no doubt for the record that their acquiescence and consent to the authority of the corporation is not forthcoming.
And so Joe never bowed to or acknowledged the authority of the court, and never stood under that authority.
When presented with paperwork to sign (an order to appear later), he signed his Secured Party Creditor name. But over the top of his signature he wrote the following statement:
“All Rights Reserved, Without Prejudice.”
This simple phrase does exactly what it says: it reserves all of your rights when you sign any agreement, traffic violation, or any other type of contract, private or public, and essentially makes the contract null and void at any time you so choose in the future. In other words, by signing “All Rights Reserved” you are retaining all of your common law rights that might otherwise be given away in that contract. And one of those rights is to not be bound by an unlawfully presented or later misrepresented contract that is unconstitutional or against your right of refusal. Adding “Without Prejudice” brings home the statement, reinforcing the fact that ALL rights are reserved, without exception.
Joe went to court the next day too, and he used the same language.
He got that case postponed for moderation, not trial as well!
Sadly, all of the other people in these courts admitted guilt 9 times out of 10. The court clerk even handed out papers that stated, “If you sign this, you are giving up your constitutional rights”. So before they even saw the judge, they had already marked the guilty or no contestbox and signed their name on the Authorized Signature Line, meaning that they acknowledge that their STRAWMAN was guilty of breaking the CODES of the municipal corporation and that they would have to pay the fines, go to jail, or endure probation at the judge’s whim on behalf of their STRAWMAN. It was a sad thing to see, with so many uneducated people signing their rights away as if it was somehow lawful, or for that matter, normal.
It should be noted here as well that all of these people who showed up that day for traffic court were by default of their ignorance of the law making a “general appearance” and sealed this fate the second they signed that form.
≈
The Manufacturers Statement of Origin
≈
Now you may be wondering why Joe was able to just walk right out of that court without contract, without making a plea, and without being arrested.
Since most of these “violations” of CODE revolved around traffic rules and regulations of the VEHICLE CODE, let’s talk about what happens when an brand new automobile is purchased.
For new “vehicles” that are manufactured at the huge conglomerate auto-makers, a special title is created that will never be seen by the consumer who purchases that vehicle through STRAWMAN contract from the dealer. When a car, truck, or SUV is delivered to each dealer this title, called the Manufacturers Statement of Origin (MSO), is delivered along with it. This MSO is very much like a birth certificate, in the fact that it is never actually in the possession of the actual STRAWMAN who believes he or she is the owner of the property. When the vehicle is sold, the dealer is required by law (legal code) to send this MSO to the state, where it is digitally cataloged and destroyed. A few weeks later, a certified copy of the Certificate Of Title, never the original copy of the MSO, is sent to the human representing the STRAWMAN, listing him or her as the operator of that vehicle. But the MSO is always held by the state, making it the true property owner. It then grants permission to drive that vehicle to the corporate person, as stated above through licensing.
Sadly, since car dealers are corporations registered with the state themselves, and bound by state regulations and legalities in order to stay in business, they are required to send this MSO to the state government. If they do not, they will simply loose their license to do business in that state.
Now you might finally understand why all of the DMV and state paperwork is insistently done at the dealership, and why you must pay the filing fees on the spot, as a “tax”. This is, after all, very well organized crime we are talking about!
To bring this point home again, you are not the owner of your property, your home or vehicle. You are a tenant. You have permission to operate the state’s vehicle and live in the state’s home and on the state’s land. And the state may take its property at any time.
Ah, but that brings us back to our friend Joe and many more like him around the country and the world…
Since Joe is a Secured Party Creditor, Joe has taken ownership away from the state and placed it into his own trust through his UCC1 filing, and then notified the government of this fact multiple times. And because Joe has rescinded his driver’s license and removed the states license plates from his lawful property, he is now a traveler – free to lawfully travel on all public roads without the burdens and tyranny of legal CODE. With no license and no other contracts, the court and the evil Cheny-esque judge simply have no authority over Joe. He is not contracted with them. He is not bound by their CODES anymore. He is free from corporate legalities. And there is no jurisdiction over a free man without his consent.
But they still pull Joe over and harass him, of course. This can really be attributed back to the slave issue we spoke of above. The code-enforcement officers are the worst kind of slaves, because they steal the freedoms of and bash the heads in of other slaves without questioning why, sometimes enjoying the false power. They are what was once called the house-negro or the house-slave. Give even a conscious slave just a little bit of authority, and he will use that authority over the rest of the slaves just as harshly as his masters. This is the story of the largest and most violent street-gang in America… the collective Municipal Police Departments.
As an example of what this gang is capable of, Joe told me a story that quite frankly really got my goat. Because he didn’t like any of the local corporate churches masquerading as 501(c)3 non-profits – branches of the for-profit incorporated main church, very much like bank branches – Joe decided to build his own church on the vacant lot beside his house, on his own property.
After building and completing this church, he named it appropriately enough, “the unincorporated church of our Lord and savior“. Notice that the name of this church was not capitalized, because this church was not incorporated! But Joe didn’t request any permits or for that matter even notify the municipality (city) of his plans to build this unincorporated church on his own property. Since his home was now in his own Secured Party Creditor-ship, these codes that required a permit were lawfully and legally not applicable.
But when the city found out about this non-taxable, non-corporately controlled house of worship, they sent out the code-enforcement team which, without Joe’s consent, entered his private property and bulldozed his church down into a pile of unrecognizable refuse. They didn’t even remove the wreckage, just leaving it there as a reminder of Joe’s enslavement.
Joe was pretty sure that one or more of his neighbors had actually tattled on him, probably worried about their property values going down, which is the most ironic part of this story. The slaves that live in government-owned homes, who falsely believe in such a thing as property values more than personal liberty and freedom (and that their homes are even their own property), were the ones who self-policed themselves and instigated the tearing down of a house of worship.
This is a real eye-opener… I mean, how well do you know and trust your neighbors. If they watch shows like “Law and Order”, which has nothing to do with law or order, you may be their future victim!
I’d say that God’s Law was broken in a big way on this day.

Some Dare Call It Anarchy!
≈
Now some might say that this freedom thing is akin to anarchy...
But again, this is an illogical fallacy, brought on by way too much TV. The unreasonable and illogical thought that freedom can only equate to anarchy is proof of the government’s propaganda machine in action.
When you as an American, who are used to the customs and traffic rules and regulations of this country, then travel to Europe, do you insist on driving on the right side of the road even though everyone else there drives on the left side of the road? No. You practice the customs of that society, being a responsible human. Do you murder, rape, and pillage while on safari in Africa in a small uncharted village just because there is no law or authority that says you can’t? The government and its police and armies might, but again, no you don’t. You enjoy the cultural beauty and freedom of an untarnished people free from the legal constraints of corporate CODE. And if you lived amongst these people, you would adapt to their ways in order to live together peaceably and for the benefit of the community.
We slaves are so afraid of freedom that we think it is the end of the world. We think that without legal CODE, we cannot have law.
But in truth, there is only one basic law. That law is commonly referred to as “God’s Law”.
God’s Law simply states that you should do no harm to other people or to the property they own. It’s that simple. That covers just about everything: rape, pillage, theft, murder, violence, persecution, slavery…
Everything else is CODE. And everything else is what is unfortunately not so commonly referred to as a “victimless crime”.
A victimless crime simply means that the particular CODE that was violated had nothing to do with God’s Law. So, no individual person was injured or killed, and/or no individual’s property was harmed or stolen. That covers most of the legalities, statutes, codes, signs, and other rules and regulations that are set in place by our legislators; our slave-masters. These include running a stop sign, smoking a joint, speeding, holding a sign up in a non-free-speech zone, assembling without a permit, walking your dog without a leash, selling flowers out of your home without a business license, walking across the street (jaywalking), panhandling, not paying unjust and un-apportioned taxes, driving without a license, etc. et infinite’…
Fines and fees for these “crimes” have become what the constitution defines as “unreasonable”, and more than most slaves can afford.
Our prison system is full of people who have committed victimless crimes. And as we have discussed above, this is by design. America houses 1 out of every 100 persons in this country in prison. And many more than that are on probation (jail at home). This is profitable beyond measure. There is a very good reason after all, that Dick Cheney and Halliburton got into the profitable private-prison business!
The worst part about this type of victimless crime is that you cannot face your accuser. There is no plaintiff! No one was injured, and no property was damaged, not even the state’s. The only person harmed is the corporation called government. Making an illegal u-turn is not part of God’s Law. There is no victim!
Note: When referring to “God” we are referring to the abstract concept that we as human beings with a soul answer to a higher authority than government. This is the basis for the freedom of religion. Your belief in God, whichever one of the 1000’s of God’s out there, is not necessary for religious freedom. Freedom of religion does not mean freedom of Christianity. Remember, all minorities, even religious ones, must have representation (protection) under a republic form of government. This is one of the most important constitutional (God-given) rights there is. And unfortunately, it is one of the most corporately abused, as a collective religious, non-profit crime syndicate.
Law is always a part of any society, be it through custom or common acquiescence. But only law – not the for-profit tyrannical codification of every facet of life.
And Joe would certainly agree!

Accepted For Value (A4V)
≈
One last thing… Because we have been used as collateral for the credit and printing of Federal Reserve Notes in America without a real choice, you have the right of seeking a remedy for that use of your STRAWMAN’s trust fund.
Accepted For Value (A4V) is a term that describes the offsetting of a STRAWMAN’s debt. Your corporate person-hood, your STRAWMAN, is where all of your contracts and debts are assigned. They are attached to your Social Security Number; your slave number. They are not attached to you as a living breathing human being with a soul. It is very important to distinguish between the two.
Our friend Joe has been successfully using A4V to pay such things as property taxes, loans payments, and other debts for many, many years. Others have used it for student loans, home payments, credit card payments, and many other types of loans and monetary contracts.
Here’s a simple explanation of how it works:
Step 1) You receive a bill from a corporation. (This is not to be used for purchases!) All businesses are incorporated in some form, and are conducting contractual commerce with your STRAWMAN. Otherwise, YOU would not be receiving a bill.
Step 2) You turn that bill (debit) into a check (credit) by stamping accepted for value in red, and signing in blue. (Seek experienced instruction, as this has to be done exactly right.) If you look at a bill that you have received from a corporation and then set it side by side with a paycheck that you receive from the corporation that you work at, you will see that they are set up in very much the same way. The top 2/3 of the bill is an explanation of what is being charged, and the bottom 1/3 is a debit in the form of a “payment stub”. But the paycheck is exactly the same, accept that the top part is an itemization of gross payment, taxes, and net income, and the bottom portion is a credit in the form of a check payable to you from the corporation. By following exacting instruction, you are simply changing that bill (the debit payment stub) into a check (a credit from your STRAWMAN trust account)… Accepted For Value is stamped across the bill, your SS# without dashes, your SS# with dashes, Your STRAWMAN name, your human name, and finally your signature in blue ink (not necessarily in that order).
Step 3) You send that bill, now an accepted for value check, into the IRS. The IRS is backed up with A4V claims, as many folks are now comprehending what I am telling you here.
Step 4) After this A4V is finally processed, the debit is taken from your STRAWMAN “trust account” as human collateral (chattel) and sent as a credit (a check from the IRS) to the corporation that sent you the bill in the first place.
Step 5) That corporation cashes the check (credit) to pay off your STRAWMAN’s original debt, your debt to that creditor has now been offset.
Now, understand that the IRS is actually happy to do this because it just created credit money into the economy instead of debt money. It accessed the money in your trust without having to rely on a bank to create a note. And as I understand it, it cannot access this trust account any other way.
This works for anything as far as I can tell, but it cannot be used to purchase items. This is to offset already assigned and existing debt. So going out and purchasing a $100,000 car and then trying to pay the car off in a month or two could be considered a misuse of this remedy. This is not for stupid or greedy people. This is for people who wish to save their homes from greedy banks. This is for people that are honestly seeking a remedy for the ridiculous costs of higher education. This is for people who fell for the bank and credit industry’s usurious predatory methods to trap them in high interest credit cards and collateralized loans with no other way out. This is not so that you can buy a new BMW and pay it off in a month. Those idiots who can’t comprehend justice and remedy, let alone responsibility, are doomed to become a victim of their own greed, and will joyfully be able to visit the rest of the victimless criminals in prison.
If this doesn’t make sense to you, then think of it this way…
What do you think happens when you declare bankruptcy? Only incorporated entities can declare bankruptcy. What do you think is happening when you make this declaration? You are declaring that your STRAWMAN corporation is so far in debt that you as the caretaker of that corporation cannot any longer pay that debt. So you are offsetting all of that debt attached to your corporation and starting over with a clean slate. Do you think these companies are loosing money because you declare bankruptcy? Of course not. They don’t care one way or the other. Whether they write off the debt or collect the debt, they will still make their money. And by the time they add fees, late fees, transfer fees, 3 month collection fees, interest fees, and any other type of fee they can imagine, they end up making more off of a charged-off account than they do in a successful collection.
This is the unethical UCC form of business that has engulfed our world. It is not pretty. It is not nice. In fact it is pure evil. But as long as it is in place, you may as well know what your defenses and remedies are for being forced to live in it.
For a more detailed look at A4V and STRAWMAN issues, go to the following sites:
After many encounters with different folks who are walking the walk in the Secure Party Creditor/Free Man/Sovereignty movement, I am sorry to say that this is not a figment of my imagination. I hope that somehow a support group can be started so that all of these people from across the country, who are each using only parts of the whole puzzle, can come together and create a definitive collection of legal remedies for this seemingly endless maze of a legal mess. And I hope that whoever does this isn’t just trying to make a buck. There is nothing worse in my eyes than a patriot for profit. I hope that this writing helps all who wish to understand the veil of fiction that has been pinned to us all since birth. May your journey be filled with brighter days…
Once again, please do not attempt any of this on just my writing here. This is something that should be studied and perfected before taking the plunge. This is only an attempt to put into basic comprehension what is otherwise a bailiwick of legalese and international enslavement.
And oh, if I have any of this wrong, please don’t hesitate to comment below, so that all can learn from the more astute among us. Mine is only to conceptualize the system, not to spear at the heart.
If you really want to understand why this is true, then you will have to look at each of the following pieces of the puzzle (links)… This will take a lot of your time and more importantly, the suspension of your idealism and belief.
That is hard. Trust me, I know.
I just spent an hour putting this post together and am passing this information on to you, so please don’t let it go to waste. Consider it an early Christmas present!

Let’s focus on proving the corporate structure of the Federal Government, so that there is no doubt in your mind…
Here is the first carrot that I will dangle in front of you to get you to keep reading! This is from the U.S. CODE.
U.S. CODE is the corporate code of the UNITED STATES Federal corporation. Here it states that “United States” is defined as “a Federal corporation”.
First, understand that the “United States” Federal corporation is a ten mile stretch of land that is not one of the 5o states united, and that this was mandated in Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution.
Team Law down in SoCal has a great fact-sheet printed here… read this to get an understanding of the corporate setup of D.C, by charter in 1801:
Note that this Article only gave the federal government authority over the D.C. land – not to exceed 10 miles square. This is the corporate structure that is the Federal Government. Note that the Government is not allowed to “own” land outside of this 10 mile D.C. area. Also, states are not authorized to “own” land either. So all federal lands, state parks, national parks, etc… are not “property” of the constitutional government.
But a corporation… which the Supreme Court now says is a person too with first amendment rights… that becomes a whole other can of worms!
———————–≈———————–
Now, as referenced above, “The Act of 1871” (Google this term for other pdf files which explain this in more detail, but watch for misinformation as well). It does seem like a redundancy, as mentioned above. Though it does seem to join the few “municipalities” of Washington D.C. into one “municipal corporation”.
Equally as intriguing is this info which says that English Parliament changed the social security system in the United States. It is very hard to except that the history we have learned is false. But until we do, we know nothing but false history, written by the “victors”. Also check out the “Treaty of Peace” (as referenced in this article, and the “Treaty of 1213”, showing the Vatican owns the Crown.
It is also very hard for most to imagine that the constitution that we hold so dearly is not a very good document. It takes away freedom as much as it grants it. The only true freedom is God-given, natural law, not a peace of paper. Besides, most politicians only take a verbal oath, but they do not turn it in in writing, which is what contracts them to the oath… Big grand jury’s going on up in Utah here about that, since about 75% of our government is not sworn in on paper (lawfully). In fact, one of our smaller towns recently passed a code that says legislatures and government workers are not bound by any oath they take. It is city law in Tremonton, Utah!!!
For instance, why would anyone think that the 5th amendment is a good thing, or even idealistically “constitutional”?
“…nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.”
Notice that the clause “without due process of law” nullifies the statement before it, and “without just compensation” nullifies the statement before it!
This last part is called the “Takings Clause”, and is what eminent domain is largely based on – taking property and land with “just compensation“.
Who decides what “just compensation” is?
Why, the very government that is doing the “taking”!
Section 1. “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”
Section 2. “Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.”
The statement “except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted” nullifies the former and later statement that slavery is illegal. This didn’t outlaw slavery… it legalized state sanctioned slavery while outlawing private individual ownership!
The constitution is full of these “except” clauses, which is why this holy worship of the constitution is ridiculous in my mind, and why it needs to be rewritten for modern times, not just reinstated. For once in history, the problem with a legal document (the constitution) is that it does not have enough small print!!!
Even worse, the “Federal Prison Industries” website is the “Amway” or “Wallmart” for the corporate U.S. slave prison system, called Unicor. Basically, the private prison system is huge. It relies on the courts to ensure a continuous influx of “prisoners” or “slaves” to build the products which the Federal Prison Industries sells. Think jobs are outsourced to India, check out the jobs outsourced to the prison industry!
Unicor Corporate Overview:
UNICOR, Federal Prison Industries is a self-sustaining, self-funded corporation established in 1934 by executive order to create a voluntary real-world work program to train federal inmates.
***Also, the most important legal term you can understand is “CONSENT”. This is a must read. It also shows that the whole of the Internal Revenue Code is not statutory law, and in fact is Prima Facie law, meaning it is presumed law, meaning it is only law with the free peoples consent. Please, please read this. It will change your whole perspective on what law is and how it affects you.
But aren’t the courts there to ensure justice against government tyranny, you know, the whole checks and balances thingy?
The biggest mistake you can make is to get an attorney (plead incompetence and inability to represent yourself, and become a ward of the court) and then go into court to fight anything (consent to the corporate court and its non-statutory legal codes – not law).
Why?
You must understand that the courts are also private corporations. In fact, in Los Angeles they did a freedom of information act and found out that the judges down there build and own the private corporate courts, rent them out to the government for millions of dollars, and write checks on dummy and city “municipal” accounts that are not registered with the IRS! In other words, the court system is a money laundering system. This is happening all over the U.S. It involves the crime families as well, and other corporate structures that would surprise you.
Watch these videos… Though they are of horrible quality and video production, they are very revealing:
Understanding the difference between what is lawful and what is legal is paramount. They are two different concepts, one natural law and one corporate law (legality and code) with the peoples’ consent needed.

I could go on and on… but if this doesn’t do the trick, then I am almost all out of tricks. If you haven’t watched The Corporation Nation, now would be the time. The movie will explain the rest, and explain the general accounting system for corporate government, the CAFR.
