PARTONE-

HISTORICAL

BACKGROUND

With America's governments in crisis, there are many vested interests

in

what civil govern

ments do.

i f n d e e d ~

one can call them 'civil' governments. 'Civil' sounds too much like a govern

ment

of

laws, to apply the

w o r d ~

to what passes for civil government, today.

Among vested interests there are t h o s e ~ who seek to wring every benefit and privilege they

can out

of

bureaucrats and politicians at

all

levels as

if

they were entitled to

t h e m ~

there are the

low and lawless forms ofhumanity,,{I} that ignore the Law, Codes, Ordinances, Rules and Regu

lations that govern these so-called persons, 14th Amendment citizens state citizens, natural per

sons, human beings, 2} and i n d i v i d u l s ~ {3} there are self-professed Christians with no interest in

government because they are waiting for the Lord to return next week sometime; there are

'patriots' in the law reform movement that appear to worship the Constitution and the U.S. Flag

more than God and h r i s t ~ there are those who want the benefits, privileges, and opportunities of

common law and specifically deny that God has anything to do with

a n y t h i n g ~

and, there are the

conspiracy types who cower in corners with others

of

like mind to share the newest conspiracy

revelations.

Those above 'believe' they may be a factor in turning the country around.

However, there is a minority ofChristian men and women who know the Constitution is mere

parchment. They know the real story, if not self-consciously, then in the heart, that before any

rights listed on parchment, there must first be a will among the people to repent and pray and seek

His face, and obey Him from whom the rights come. Then and only then, will any parchment may

have meaning.

They don t r e a d ~ they

study

the laws

of

God and man, and know the difference. They hold

their allegiance to God far more dearly and precious than any allegiance to a mere flag

or

parch

ment. They put their husbands, wives, children, family,

h o m e ~

church, and community far ahead

of

the Constitution, or any mere piece

of

parchment. On their list of priorities, parchments are

somewhere around forty-fourth on a list of forty-six.

This work

is

for those above, who've spent the time

in

court, paid the price behind bars,

survived the beatings, false arrests, and harrassment. They will understand

it >

develop it, and use

it as

a tool to restore, reconstruct, and heal the land. The rest may only use it for any purpose,

except that

of

God and the Crown Rights

of

King Jesus.

While there is no room here for a detailed

study{4}

of the history

of

American law, a thumb

nail

sketch

is

needed,

or

Readers may not understand why non-statutory abatements work.

As they read t h i s ~ many may have demand letters on their desks or the I.R.S. breathing down

their necks and may be impatient to get to the meat.

But:>

if

one does not understand the law

sYstem now used in America, their abatement may fail Thus, we urge you to take the time to

study it now.

Death of a Republic

To those digging

in

the bone piles of history, it becomes clearer everyday that the Republic

that was the united States of America, died at the hands of

A i n c o ~

who seized power - with

out any constitutional authority whatsoever - and set forces

in

motion that drove the South into a

war it did not want, and knew it could not win. In the eruption that followed, on the killing

grounds of Antietam, Vicksburg, Missionary Ridge, and Gettysburg, the life blood of patriots


6/86

flowed out o

nt

o the earth and into the crevices

of

revisionist history Long before the

flag of

tru

ce

\Vas

raised. the

Re pu

bl

ic

ha

d a

lr

e

ad

y died. not with a bang, but ignominiously ,

in

a

w i s p ~ r no

one

heard amidst the ragi ng winds

of

war.

When the Southern states walked out

of

Co

p.gr

ess

in

1860, the quorum

to

conduct business

under the Constitution, was lost, The only votes Congress could

la

wfully take were those to set

the time to re-convene, and vote to adjourn. The only lawful , constitutional power who could

declare war, was

no

longer lawful, or

in

session.

Congress abandoned the House and Senate without setting d te t reconvene . Under the

parliamentary

la

w

of

Congress, when this happened Congress became

sine die

literally,

wi

thout

day, and ceased

to

exist as a deliberative body. It was re-convened by Executive Order and sat

unlawfully under the direct military authority

of A. Li

ncoln, Commander-in-Chief. To this very

day, Congress still exists

by

the military authority

of

the Commander-

in

-Chief, and not as a lawful

Constitutional body .

While Congress was away, Lincoln ruled by Executive

Order

He wrote only a handful

of

E.O.' s during his time in office but, they were momentous. Executive Order No. I, } the first

ever signed

by a President was executed April 21st, 1861, and called up 75,000 militia.

The point is , Lincoln had no authority to issue any Executive Order, and he knew

it.

Thus,

he

commissioned a special code to 'govern' his acts under martial law. In fact, the Code merely

justified

his

seizure

of

power.

T

he Lieber Instructions,

t }

had the effect

of

extending The Laws

of

War and InternationallMunicipal Law beyond the boundaries

of

Washington, D.

C.

, and for the

fir st time,

it

brought foreign law onto American so il. Later, the Lieber Code put the U.S. into the

1874 Brussels Conference (two years after Washington, D.C., was incorporated), and the Hague

Conventions

of

1899 and 1907.

The Lieber Code explicitly states

in

Section

[

Article I , that:

A place, district, or country occupied by

an

enemy stands,

in

consequence

of the occupation, under the Mart

ial

law of the invading or occupying army

whether anv proclamation declaring Martial Law, or anv public warning to

the inhabitants, has been issued or not. Martial Law is the immediate and

direct effect and consequence

of

occupation or conquest. (emphasis added)

Lincoln imposed Martial Law on Americans without ever telling them. Americans could be

arrested (falsely mustered), hauled into military tribunals, tried, convicted, sentenced, put

in

jail,

or put to death, without ever knowing the trials were in fact, military proceedings in court martial

against civilians. By the way,

in

such courts, no defendant has any Constitutional rights. The Code

goes on to say in the same Section, Article 10, that:

Martial Law affects chiefly the police and collection

of

public revenue and

taxes, whether imposed by the expelled government or by the invader,

and refers mainly to the support and efficiency of the army, its safety, and

the safety

of

its operations. (Emphasis added)

[s

it

'coincidence' the

IR.S

. first flexed

it

s muscle about this time?

Of

course,

it

only collected

war reparations from the conquered peoples in the South. Later, F.D. Roosevelt, went Lincoln

o

ne

better when he extended the same unconstitutional acts to all the states .

2


7/86

The Lieber Code then states

in

Section II , Article 3 I . th t

A victorious army appropriates all public money, seizes all public mov

able propeny until funher direction by its government, and sequesters for

its own benefit or that of its government a

the revenues of real propeny

belonging to the hostile government or nation. The title to such real prop

eny remains in abeyance during military occupation. and until the con

quest is made complete. (emphasis supplied)

Under Martial Law, one cannot gain absolute title to anything, since all propeny belongs to

the military. The Commander-in-Chief may ,

in his

benevolence, x mpt

so

me propeny from

taxation and seizure.

The District of Columbia was incorporated in 1872 and, in modern Titles and Codes, we find

that D.C. , can also be called. the United States Now, why did the federal power need a corpo

ration? The answer

is

, since the republic and the united States

of

America no longer existed

as

a

lawful, constitutional government , some entity had to take its place so the charade could continue.

Manial Law powers cannot create a lawful republic or restore the Constitution, since only the

people have the inherent power to do such a thing.

One option was a corporation, which

is

not lawful, and a fictio

nal persona

Since corpora

tions are contrary to God's Law and common law, it follows, that eventually the new fiction must

eliminate what it could of common law couns and process. This is made easier, i f the people

forget. After the War ended and hostilities were declared at an end, the Lieber Code justified

keeping manial law a secret.

Thus, Lincoln 's successor, Andrew Johnson, giving his reasons for vetoing Reconstruction

Acts, stated:P

The veto of the original bill of the 2d of March was based on two

distinct grounds, the interference of Congress

in

matters strictly

appenaining to the reserved powers of the States, and the estab

lishment of military tribunals for the trial of citizens

in

time of peace.

(Emphasis supplied).

Thus, as late as July 19, 1867, the South was still under Martial Law and only Congress knew

It

. f he people had known it, today 's history might have been different.

We move forward

to

March, 1933 , and F.D.R.'s administration in which he began to solidify

the power

of

the federal government under the cover

of

a national banking emergency.

It seems American bankers were giving paper gold certificates to the people in exchange for

gold coin at $22.00 an ounce and re-selling the gold to European bankers at $34.00 an ounce, a

tidy 50%+ profit on each coin.

The American people discovered what was going on and started demanding gold coin back,

but the banks didn 't have enough reserves to meet demand. They appealed to President Hoover

who declined to take Federal action and bail them out of trouble.

Onto the stage comes Roosevelt. He makes a deal with the bankers to fix the problem, labels

the conduct of the American people hoarding, declares a bank holiday, and raises the price of

gold to $34.00 an ounce. Problem solved, right. Well..., that depends.

3


8/86

The banks re-opened and did business again. but the price Roosevelt extracted from them was

that. thev could stav open to do business - but onlv on

the

President' s

Signature

Thus.

anytime a President wants, he can close all banks and the Federal Reserve. as well. All he needs is:

for

the people to

be li

eve there's a national emergency . Whether real or not, the power to decide

is

solely within the hands

of

the President .

Roosevelt extended 'emergency powers' and, in a flood

of

E.O.

s

over the next few weeks. he

declared that; all Americans were enemies

of

the United States;I'1 converted all acts involving

money to commerce that required a license to conduct business; created the tools

for

the licensure

of all Americans and the registration of

ail

automobiles: and many others, all of which were ratified

by Congress, without debate, n a se ries of lightning sessions, where most of those who voted on

bi

lls,

never even read them.

Solely by E.O.. Roosevelt took total control

of

the nation, and onlv a

President can

termi

nate his own power of Executive Order. Today. Congress passes no act without the authority of

a pre-existing E.O . Perhaps, it doesn 't matter, since Congress doesn ' t write legislation. anyway

No

, it's done for them. by co ntract with West Publishing

Co,

St. Paul, Minnesota; the same com

pany that produces Black 's 6th_ the law dictionary.

The imperial power is now and has been for over 130 years, using The Laws

of

War, Interna

tional, and Municipal Law under the Commander-in-Chief, and these are the real

supreme

law

of

he

land. They govern all process, its form. submissions to courts, and process used by attorneys

in

such courts.

This

is

why peop:e

lo

se trying to argue Constitutional rights. Courts are

militarv tribunals

sitting in court martial proceedings against civilians . Constitution

al

or common law arguments

are not allowed

in such courts.

Judges may l sten to such arguments for many reasons and even decide in one 's favor, but not

because

of

any Co nstitutional or common law argument . One may make an argument or reveal

evidence and not realize why a judge renders a 'not guilty' verdic

t.

Or,

ifhe

has coUected excellent

revenue (war reparations) for the day, he may just release you because he likes you. But, when the

stakes are

hi

gh enough, one must not delude themselves into believing that Constitutional or com

mon law tactics will work - ever.

We must face the fact that what we oppose today, are the same impe

rial

powers in

all

their

arbitrary capriciousness, that have always lurked in the wings, waiting for God s People to lay

down and go to sleep .

A new breed

of

Cresars stalk the Earth, seeking whom they may devour. If we fai l to learn and

apply the proper use

of God ' s Law and the common law: if we fail to learn the science and art

of

being self-governing Christian men and women under God; if we

fail

to teach these things to our

posterity; then we, like

all

men who sleep

in

ignorance, deserve nothing better than ext

in

ction.

Now, comes the rude awakening

l

One may scream to high heaven about the courts, the IRS, the

SA

TF, the FBI, and rail at

countless agencies, bureau

s.

departments, and other branches

of

imperial governments

wi

th charges

of

fraud, theft. murder, and a whole host

of

other crimes, but in the majority

of

cases, imperial

governments merely do what the people require them to do. The imperial governments obey their

law, but

we do not obev the law we

claim. We honor it with

our

lips and not with our action

s.

Thus, the Lord has said: Thou shalt not take the name

of

the Lord thy God in vain; for the

Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain. t91And the agent on Earth to exact

punishment for violations

of

this Commandment is none other than the courts

we

have today.

4


9/86

We vio

late this Commandment by our own acts - daily. We do those things we ought not.

against

God s

Law, while demanding the benefits, privileges, and opportunities of ungodly gov

ernments.

Thus, the Lord has said:

And

thou shalt take no

gll:t

for the

gill

blindeth the wise, and

th th

d

f h

' h ,,\IO } [ h

perverte e wor

s t

e n teous. t IS we w 0 commit the fraud, theft, and other

crimes - against God

If we enter imperial courts they cannot judge

us

by

OUR law, but

by

THEIR law and they

have no option to judge or rule - otherwise, because they are under the military authority of the

Commander-in-Chie

fl

Thus, the Lord has said: Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go

to

law before

the unjust, and not before the saints

? { }

[s this not a command to set up our own courts under

Godly jural societies???

Why, if we successfully abate a traffic ticket, does a court withdraw its Bench Warrant from

service by officers

in

the field, yet, keeps

it

on the Docket? The question

is

important because

that is,

in

fact , what the courts do .

The answer is; abatements tell the court that one does not want the benefits, privileges, or

opportunities. The court says, Fine, but we will lodge the Warrant on the Docket just in case you

contradict yourself, and show up

in

our courts anywa

y

where the Warrant will be served and you

will be prosecuted

I

The reason why courts recognize the non-statutory abatement

in

the first place is because

they recognize true Law when they see it, which

is

not often On this fact alone, the people could

have stopped the imperial governments, - decades ago.

The Law of War, International Law, Municipal Law, Emergency Powers, all of which we put

in

one category of Imperial Law,

s not law

It is arbitrary and capricious and continually contra

dicts itself, which

is

why the United States Supreme Court uttered its famous dicta in Erie Rail

road v. Thompkins. to wit: there is no stare decisis, i.e., no prior decision

of

any court, binds the

present courts under imperial powers.

Courts may vacillate from one contradictory decision after another for they have no law

standard by which to measure what they do, and they do not hesitate to admit it. Therefore, one

cannot accuse such courts of fraud. Deceit (legal in International Law) maybe, but not fraud.

But, when true Law stares the court

in

the face, they never vacillate, and recognize it

as

the

true Supreme Law, which is God s Law.

In simple terms, i we are who we say weare, and not what they say we are, then what are

we doing in their fictitious courts who have no jurisdiction over the man we say we are

???

The imperial system

will

make certain that

yo

u strictly adhere to one law

or

the other. You

must, therefore, either live your life in

all

you do

by

the law of substance, liberty, and self

government, which is God ' s Law and the common law, or, you will live by the laws of the ficti

tious persona, without substance or liberty, and they will govern your every move and punish all

deviation from their arbitrary and capricious system.

There are those

out

there who believe that the imperial system can be done away with, and

replaced by some other Non-Christian system. But, the entire history of English and American law

shouts with one voice, that such is sheer folly. Men will either be ruled by God or Imperial

Tyrants. Choose this day whom you will serve. God

or

Cesar? This statement has nothing to do

with any evangelistic motive. It ' s just a simple statement of fact .

Thus,

i

one claims to be

in

a common law, Christian venue, yet lives under the arbitrary law,

5

, on-Chri stian svstem. one is punished for his lies. contradictions. fraud. and deceit. which is

le al

onlv in their couns. not ours. -

If one claims the benej'it s

of

God

's

Law and

Hi

s providence a

nd

still asks for benefIts from

Rome. then one deserves what one gets . Defendants who s

it

on the fence deserve to be split

asunder God

ma

y take Hi s own time to punish evil doers. but man wants punishment now and he

has created the couns to fulfill that demand .

And. the system they hav.; used is really not as comp l cated as everyone seems to assume. To

understand it. all we need do is recall something

of

old Roman law during the time before and after

Chri st

In those days . when Rome conquered a nation, the conquered peoples suffered novation

which redefines the real man and creates a new and different man. for imperial purposes, a ticti

tious entity called a

persona

n advocate (lawyer) spoke for the

persona

because a fict ion ha s

no

mouth. voice. eyes, ear

s.

or brain.

[n

modem America, a new twist was added to the novation scheme. suretyship,

in

which the

re al man stands as surety f

or

the fictional persona each time he vol

untarily

applies for. or uses

some benefit. privilege,

or

opportunity from the imperial, federal power.

Thu s. God has said. ~ t f e that is surety

fo

r a stranger shall smart for it: and he that hateth

surdyship

is

sure. I'' '

Afier all is said and done. everyone seems to want to know how its a ll going to tum out. But,

God has said: Therefore take no thought for the morrow. for the morrow shall take thought for

the things of itse

lf.

Sufficient unto the day

is

the evil thereof. ,1131

-

We know that victory

is

assured to God 's People, and based on the analogy

of

Scripture, we

know that when Israel was returned to the land after Babylon, that Ezra

's

first task was to re

lorm the lawful civil power. This is our mandate under God 's Law, to re-form the lawful civil

power and since the exist

in

g forms

of

Martial Law government cannot do this, the people mu st.

Thus, as a companion volume to this book, we urge you to study The American Jural Soci

ety Handbook l I Co nsider how you will join us, in righting the law once given unto the saints.

Our duty and responsibility to God, our wives, husbands, children, and our posterity demand it.

Thu s, the Lord has said: If my people, which are called

rNTRODUCTION TO NON-ST ATUTORY ABATEMENTS

The no

n-

statutory abatement package

is

now Version 2.0 and

in

a book form and ha s a great

manv additions rangi ng ITom small and relative

ly

insignificant ones, to major ones that embody

some very important new research, largely motivated by feed back ITom those who

ha

ve called

and offered it. And. we have added another researcher to our staff, John Joseph, who has made

very important contributions to the work.

All

publications

of

The American Jural Society Press have but one goal. To compel the impe

rial

federal. state. county, and city governments, their agents (tax collectors and banks), an d

as

signs - to keep the law. [

ft

hey do this, they will leave us alone and let us get on with our lives.

Contrary to the media and the press , we are not here to overthrow an y civil power, for very

simple reasons.

While we seek

to

be self-governing men under God, we also realize that governments exi st

to keep the low an d

la

wless forms

of

humanity

ITom

doing violence to everyone, including

themselves. Thus as lawless as the current governments are, without them there would be total

anarchy.

The real problem, of course, has nothing to do with law, but religion, as Washington said

in

his

Farewell Address to the nation. One's god dictates the kind

of

law one implements and also

controls the application and development of that law over time. Given enough time, all Non

Christian systems of law self-destruct in a fit of tyranny.

Thus, we seek to restore the vitality and enforcement of God s Law for ll men in

all

ages .

This means, of course, a fu ll restoration of common law which is simply the collected traditions

of Christians learning to apply God s Law to their everyday problems.

There are some ,

of

course, who will disagree with this obvious Christian agenda, but that

is

their problem, not ours. After many years

of

study in the origins of common law, we have no

doubt of its Christian roots.

For

us, the common law is simply God s Law extended and applied

by Christians throughout the history

of

England and America, and it will be Christian men and

women, who will extend and apply it today, to provide the Godly system that

will

once again, put

the church on the march.

The Non-Statutory Abatement Handbook and The American Jural Society Handbook are, for

us, the first two steps in the process of restoring true law and reconstructing the Christian system.

[n a few weeks, further publications will be offered to attempt a few more steps on a very long

road back,

ITo

m the Dark Age

of

Humanism which has claimed more victims than Europe' s Black

Death.

The American Jural Society Handbook,

ITom

modest beginnings, has sparked a new interest

in local self-government across the nation. And, because it provides a mechanism for restoring

lawful civil government at the local

le

vel, it has also

gi

ven the people hope.

The

Non-Statutory Abatement Handbook, is the first

in

a series of tools

in

the arsenal of

lawful weapons that can be used to retard the advance

of

Imperial powers by pietahls simulators

until jural societies can be established lawfully, and create their own Courts of Common Law.

Faith Helps.

The old adage that faint heart

ca

cut

yo

ur own throat

in

law

Recently a man back east, filed a non-statutory abatement to stop a foreclosure , one of th

first such abatements we had ever done. The abatement was successful and stopped the bank

fo

reclosure

fo

r six months.

Then, the bank began sending nasty letters to him

,

making threats, etc . Instead of sticking

the abatement, he got involved

in

the Warrant game, and sure enough, shamed his abatement.

In the end, the banks got what they wanted and the foreclosure was re-opened by the Wa

rants. w

hi

ch o

nl

y made matters worse. The man's pos ition now, is worse than before, because

wanted a quick and dirty way to end it all. It

s

sad that he never stopped to ask whether or not th

Warrants were the Christian thing to do .

Faith

in

God ' s Law and comm on law, kept the

wolf

from the door in this man' s case. Wa

rants did not just re-open the door to foreclosure,

it smashed the door

utterly.

What is so shocking is, men and women

of

otherwise good will, are getting involved

in

a ve

dangerous game that is utte

y contrary to God ' s Law and the common law, and they still

themselves Christians and patriots.

14/86

The

General Rules

Non-statutory abatements take their name from the fact that the process exists and can

be

used

- not because

of

any statute passed by some legislature - but

by

virtue of its customary

usage arising out of common law. The authority for its use, therefore, does not require any

legislature's stamp

of

approval.

f our courts were under law, non-statutory abatements would have the effect of

overthrowing an action caused

Iby

the defendant's pleading some matter

of

fact tending to

impeach the correctness

of

the wIjt or declaration., which defeats the action for the present, but

does not debar the plaintiff from recommencing it

in

a better

way.,,{17}

The only fact therefore,

argued

in

an abatement are the facts of defects in plaintiff's initial process, that is, the very first

pie e ofpaperwork sent to a defendant.

Thus,

in

lawful society (not ~ n e r The Laws of War), non-statutory abatements suspend a

suit until a plaintiff can correct errors

in his

original process. f errors are corrected

in

a response

to the abatement, plaintiff's suit continues. This

is

why a non-statutory abatement is called a

dilatory plea because it acts to delay proceedings

of

a plaintiff's suit, but does not prevent the

plaintiff from correcting his errors and re-filing his suit.

, Marks

in

abatements are statements to note., or mark errors in a plaintiff's process so that

a plaintiff can bring a correct, or better action against defendant. But, when proper non-statutory

abatenlents are issued against imperial powers, they have the effect

of

process

in

equity

or

chancery practice and suspend all proceedings in a suit, from the want of proper parties capable

of proceeding therein. { 18}

The 'want

of

proper parties' comes about, because the abatement

is

filed by one who asserts

his rights appertaining to a h r i s t i ~ against those who are in another jurisdiction, and thus have

no standing to respond to the abatement.

Parties under emergency powers, The Law

of

War, International and Municipal Law, have

no standing at Law and thus cannot answer non-statutory abatements. They recognize the

existence and power ofcommon lavy, but can do nothing about

it.

The reason being; it is the duty

of the military power to preserve the common law and any answer to a common law action, by

martial powers courts tends to destroy common law.

The Rule is; those under The Law of War, International and Municipal law cannot answer

processes at Law.

Plea Out of Bar.

A plea

in

abatement

is NOT

a plea IN bar, but OUT

of

bar. That is, a court cannot hear and

judge matters that have not yet come under a court 's authority. For cases to come under court

authority, all preliminary matters (errors

in

the original process) must have been resolved,

or

the

plaintiff has failed to properly bring his case to the court.

Indeed, there is no case and hence, no court can hear anything. The case exists

in

the first

place, because someone (plaintiff) serves a written action on someone else. Thus, courts are

created by the paperwork.

Thus, plaintiff cannot put a case IN bar, unless his process complies with court rules, the first

of which

is,

plaintiff's process must have no errors in it. Errors constitute defective process and

are sufficient cause for a respondent to issue an abatement.

Since abatements are pleas out 0 £ bar, courts cannot hear argument on a case, unless some

act of the respondant, brings him IN bar and makes him a defendant, i.e., by making some fonn

abatement.

Such arguments compromise the abatement and render

it

s force and effect -

null

and

void.

Why?

Because, such argument joins respondent to plaint i

action and converts respondent to a

defendant

persona) [n

effect, respondent admits there is a cause

of

action, indicts

s l t ~ and

converts his abateme

nt

to a demurrer and concedes jurisdiction.

Given the current state

of

courts, (military tribunals) , a defendant who thinks

he

knows the

law is then angered by what appears to be gross violations of law and often attacks the

coun

, the

judge, makes threats. liens a judge or dis trict attorney, or commits some o ther act that does noth

ing more than compound

his

previous errors. The temptation to respond

in

a rage and give the

co

un

what-for

is

strong.

[n

this case, we make one recommendation -

don t

do it, - you

ll

be n

viI/eli/liS.

Stick

to

the abatement process outlined herein, and control yo ur emotions. The voice

of

God

and the spirit of cool deliberation wi ll win for you. Anything else

wi

ll have severe repercussions

The Rule is, non-statutory abatements are pleas out

of

bar and grant

no

jurisdiction to a

un

When

to Use Abatement Processes.

There are certain situations where an abatement is not used, and some Rule is needed that will

show the Reader when an abatement

wi ll

lie, and when not. Use

of

an abatement

in

nations under

imperial law, is different from when a nation is at peace, internally or externally, with respect to

the United States. And, while abatements are a major form

of

process, they have limits on their

use.

Thus.

if

one uses a benefit, privilege,

or

opportunity,

not

allowed

in

common law. i.e., one

that requires a license. and a case is broUght

by

imperial powers for vio lations of such benefits,

privileges,

or

opportunities the abatement

is

generall

y,

not applicab

le

.

But, if one is engaged

in

doing that which is allowed

in

common law, i.e., exercising a right

common to

all

, but which has been converted to a benefit, privilege,

or

opportunity, by statute,

then the abatement will

li

e.

The arrest of lib

erty

of

movement on common ways consistent with the customs and usage

s

in

a state, is an example

of

trespass, against liberties held

in

common by the people. Such,

is

a

criminal act against the people

in

general, and against the private Christian,

in

particular. Abate

ments are very effective

in

such cases.

Much

is

made

of

the

so-called

right

to

travel,

but

such

is really a privilege in com

merce and

has

nothing to

do with common

law, i.e., lex

non scripta

Thus,

wording

in the

previous

paragraph is

deliberately

chosen as

the

basis

of

a

mark

in

an abatement. (Hint

do

not use the idea of travel or driving in any common law abatement process.

Much is made of

the

s o - c ~ J l e d right to travel,' but such is really a privilege in

commerce and bas nothing to do with common Jaw, i.e.,

lex non scripta.

Thus, wording in

the previous paragraph

is

deliberately chosen as

~ h e

basis

of

a

mark

in an abatement.

(Hint - Hint) We do not use the idea

of travel or

'driving' in any common law abatement

process.

The phrase above, trespass ~ i n s t liberties held

in

common by the people, replaces any

reference to travel or driving

in

an abatement. Such wording defines a crime and a misdemeanor,

in most states. (See the remarks on spelling the word 'state'

in

discussion

of

The Rules of English

Grammer, below.)

In

contrast to the above, consider a situation where one works,

is

mustered into, or employed

by

imperial powers, i.e., effectively connected in a trade or business with the United States.

First. the law says

it is

a privilege to work for civil governments. {19}

Second,

all

privileges granted

by

civil government are taxable. (cite from jj

{20}

Thus,

it

is likely that non-statutory abatements

will

not lie against process issued

by

imperial

governments to seize wages and salaries paid by them, unless the entity who files the process to

s e i z e ~

is

utterly incompetent. Then abatement may work, but its use may be in vain.

Differences between the persona created by imperial governments, and a private Christian

man, a 'e important and determine when the abatement will lie and when not. State granted,

imperial privileges, via the license (a token

of

the persona) differ from prerogatives held by a

king i.e., a private Christian man. All private Christian men have the prerogatives Uussus and

immunitas) of the King.

{21}

A maxim

of

law

i s ~

Domus sua cuique est tutissimum Refugium, or ''Every man's house is his

castle. ,{22} Registered churches in a 501(c)3 and Living Trusts, are both statutory and thus,

cannot resist s e i z u r e s ~ and abatements will not lie. Other examples are: private employment

contracts

v.

independent

contractor{23};

employees

of

Departments

of

Motor Vehicles; and, others

~ p r i v i l e g e d to be a fiduciary (agent, trustee, actor, representative)

of

an Imperial power, are

subject and the abatement will not lie

Scripture has something

to

say on these points. ''Render therefore, unto Cresar the things

which are Cresar's; and unto God t h ~ things that are God' s. ,{24} These verses apply, especially to

the resurrected, Roman Imperial Law, that now rules current governments.

It also relates to the money question, n that, Federal Reserve Notes are fictitious debt

instruments created by imperial governments with no value or substance, while dollars specie

(silver), have value and substance, and are lawful, civil, and Godly. f Cresar permits issuance

of

F.R.N. 's, he

has

jurisdiction (imperium) over their use.

But,

i f

private Christian men

de81

only

n

dollars specie, Cresar is dead - long live Christ Our

King. Currently, Imperial powers do not want to open the money issue in any court.

The Rule is, Imperial privileges created can also be abolished, destroyed, or taxed, by their

Imperial creator.

An appearance is any act or proceeding by which a defendant places him self before the court.

in order to part icipate in an action. Personal jurisdicti on or power to render a judgment in per

sonam may be acquired either by persona l service

of

summons or by appearance If a defendant

or his attorney does

any

act with reference to the defense of the action, he is held to submit

himself to the authority of the court and all defects in service of process are thereby

cured

'

''' i(emphasi s added) .

The modem law does not seek to compel appearance. but if the defendant is

properlY

served and neglects to appear and plead. the court will render judgment against him for default

of

of

If one appears and answers ' here ' when his name is called. he grants jurisdiction to a court

means. the Christian man is

present and ready to defend a perso

na.

The Christian man has waived all the rights of

hi

s persona

and the Christian ' s right

to

abate the process.

The problem is. the Christian pays the fine and does the time, not a persona. because the

Christian. as surety. applied for the benefit, privilege, or opportunity that created a persona.

The Christian has the 'benefit of discussion '

in

the court concerning a persona but no prerog

ative to use his own law, (Scripture and conunon law), because he waived his rights when he

answered lor a persona without first. correcting plaint

iff

s process by abatement. The Christian

appeared and perfected the errors in plaintiff's process. which

is

always defective against the man .

but not against the persona. From that point on only the law of the persona can be used .

The

'be

nefit of discussion,'

is: A

proceeding, at the instance of a surety,

by

which the credi

tor

is

obliged to exhaust the property of the principal debtor, towards the satisfaction of the debt

before having recourse to the surety; and this right

of

the surety

is

termed the ' benefit

Note: one has the ' benefit' of discussion, not the ' right' of discussion which can never

exist under the Laws ofWar .

An important,

Never, never, confuse the difference between the Christ ian and a persona . They are never the

same and neither can use the law of the other, because both are bound by the law of their respec

tive creators . Christians have a relationship to

God

thru Covenant created by Christ's sacrifice and

resurrection. When a man 1becomes a Christian., his Christian appellation is written in the Lamb 's

Book

of Life which is a private Christian name known only to God . The Covenant requlfes the

Christian to abide by Go d 's Law, not the man-made law of the imperial persona .

The law of persona clouds a Christian's relationship to God and interferes

wi

th his duty to

obey God. Imperial powers create a persona to give an appearance of legal process to justifY

trespass on the Christian 's liberties, through the imposition of a persona create by novanoll

3


18/86

Because the Christian and a persolla are under different laws there is an immediate conflict

of

laws. that are mutually exclusive ultimates, i.e. each, mutually excludes the other. This is the

ul timate conflict

of

laws.

To illustrate by analogy. God looks at the Christian through Christ and sees one whose sins

are 'white as snow ' An imperial powers judge looks through the Codes at the persona and sees

one who is as black as the pit, because he is blinded to the existence of the Christian man who

even ifhe could see

him

, could not hear his testimony.

The law

of persona is

never

la

w, because directly contrary to God ' s Law and common law.

It is based on the Law of War, and is spawned by the god

of

war (Mars), while the Law

of

God

is based on Himself and is the Law

of

Peace and Safety. Thus. the maxim: The Law

of

God and

the Law

of

the Land are

all

one; and both preserve and favor the common good

of

the land {29}

By

way

of

contrast, the maxims of the Law

of

War are clearly opposed to all true law.

Silent leges inter armas; the laws are silent amidst arms .

3

}Thus, under the laws

of

war _

real law, common law, and Constitutional law are si lent. They have no voice, no force, or effect,

unless the imperial powers feel the need to use them at their option.

In 1628. a Petition of Right by Sir Edward Coke

l3l

}

was issued against Charles I that stopped

martial law

in

England. The relevant passage in the Petition is :

And also sundry grievous offenders by colour thereof, claiming an exemption,

have escaped the punishments due to them by the laws

and statutes

of this your

realm, by reason

that

divers

of

your officers and ministers

of

justice have unjustly

refused, or

forborne

to proceed ~ i n s t such offenders according to the same laws

and

statutes,

upon pretence that the

said offenders were punishable by martial law,

and

by authority of such commissions as aforesaid, which commissions, and

all

other of like nature, are wholly and directly contrary to the said laws and statutes

of this your realm:

There are many in the law reform movement who object, if not openly, then in the heart, each

ti me

we raise so-called religious arguments in Jural Societies, in abatements, or other processes.

Such men must reckon with the clear and unequivocal facts

of

God' s Law and common law and,

if they deny God, must learn

to

live with a dead persona, and rest content with the Imperial

Heaven they have now. Only by asserting the Crown Rights

of

King Jesus, can we or any other

people, have any defense against imperial powers.

The bottom line is, one cannot claim a king's prerogatives or sovereignty, without being an

heir or son

of

the true King

of

Kings, Christ Jesus. The Spirit Itself beareth witness with our

spirit, that we are

the

children

of

God

children, then heirs; heirs

Perhaps now, we see why imperial powers create the fictitious

sona,

with fictitious alter

egos, i.e., persons, individuals, human beings, natural persons, etc.,1 33

because they have no

power over Christians whose law is God's Law and common law. Their power extends only to

what they create, the

persona,

not to a Christian.

God's Law and man

is

no respecter

man is , and his law reflects it, as seen above. Man knows he has no right to domin

The

Christian

man

cannot control

what imperial

military powers

of

the State do

with his

name. But, he can control the way he responds to a persona s nom de gue e. The spelling makes

all

the difference between the real, substantiv e Christian

m a n ~

and the fictitious vacuum that is a

persona,

which,

so long

as

it exists,

is

the

means

whereby the Christian's

life,

liberty and property

are raped, plundered, and pillaged,

by

lawless, greedy, little men.

We

now know why

names on

Court Dockets (from which one's

name is

read) and names on

imperial process are spelled

in all

capital letters,

and why

such

names

are called a nom de guerre

(name of war), which are specific evidence of the existence of a fictitious persona. Arguing

jurisdiction

is

ajail accompli and utterly irrelevant when one has already answered as surety for

a persona

One may think this is'£Taud,' but, all names are spelled this way on all imperial process and

on the Docket sheet posted outside the door of courts - where all the world can see it. If one fails

to note that his name is not spelled according to the Rules ofEnglish, that the true Christian name

is not on the process., they have no one to

blame

but themselves. A

name

spelled in any way other

than

in

the proper Christian form

is

an error.

The

persona

has

no

power to answer defective imperial process. It

has no hands

to write a

response and no voice, because, as the creation of an imperial power it is

an

absolute fiction,

created ex nihilo, out of nothing. And, there is nothing that can qualify as a contract to tell

you

when and how the persona

is

created,

it

is

always assumed.

The

maxim of

law

is:

''Fictions arise

from

the

law, and

not law

from fictions.,,{36}

But, i he

Christian fails to 'appear' or answer the process, the courts

will

issue default judgment against the

persona,

anyway.

Thus,

i

a Christian wants to stay out

of ail

and keep his liberty and property,

he had better respond to the process and inform the court

of

the errors that are always there.

With abatements, one responds without 'appearing' and process

is not perfected on a

per-

sona,

until the court issues a Warrant. The Christian man, however,

is

severed from the

person

by the abatement,

which is the only response that answers imperial process and stops default

judgment against the Christian man,

provided he has not traversed his case

by

writing some

thing stupid in the a b a t e ~ e n t

(like UCC codes).

This

is the

reason why, technically, Non

Christians cannot use non-statutory abatements.

This may be difficult for some to swallow, but in more than two hundred years of Supreme

Court decisions from the Runkle case (1799) to the present, which state, the laws

of

the nation

presuppose Christianity - upon which they depend. Non-statutory abatements are therefore, a

specifically Christian remedy. .

When

a Non-Christian asks whether they

may

use Christian premises in an abatement,

we

must reply, No

man

warring for God should be troubled by secular business.

,{37}

To continue, once an abatement is served, one

must not

ppe r until plaintiff answers the

abatement - lawfully. Such an appearance \Vill

set aside the abatement

nd gr nt

jurisdiction

to the court over the

persona.

It's nerve-racking when one serves an abatement against imperial powers

and

one's court

date passes without his making an appearance. But, trust

in

God., the abatement

will

not be an-

swered properly and

will

go to default. Then, one

SelVes

default against plaintiff

and

the matter

becomes Res Judicata, i.e.,

final judgment h s been made. Imperial process goes to default for the

same reasons that the imperial court

will

grant default judgment i one fails to appear and answer

an imperial plaintiff's

p r o c e ~ s

(See, ''Response Tactics, beloW).

The truth is,

no

real man, Christian or otherwise, belongs

in

imperial powers courts. These

15

courts

may

distinguish, but we must not.

As the Scripture says: One law shall be to

him

that home born, and unto the stranger. that

sojoumeth among you.

,

1 1 -

The Rule

is

: The presence of the body cures the error in the name.

The Rules

of

English

A major problem created by imperial schools, posing

as

' public schools

,

that directly impacts

on one's understanding

oflaw

is, the failure to teach The Rules ofEnglish Grammar. For example,

what words are capitalized and when. This difference alone has major significance

in

law. But,

imperial schools are o

nl

y half the problem.

The American people abuse the English language

as

if

it

were a right. n law, this

is

deadly,

because it can put a defendant or plaintiff in jail without ever knowing why. We strongly recom

mend to Readers that they buy and study a handbook on The Rules of

English Grammar, and

make it part of their life 's work to put these Rules into effect - daily. We recommend the older

wo rks on Grammar,

fo

r obvious reasons.

Nouns name persons, places,

or

things. General nouns denoting a class of persons, places,

or

things, are never capitalized . If we mean a specific person, place,

or

thing, onlv the first

letter

is capitalized. Thus, the noun ' state ,(

J9

1 and 'State,

"'1

are different words denoting two entirely

different things. The former (state)

is

general and used at law, while the latter (State)

is

specific

and denotes a created entity, i.e., a fictional

res

i.e

.,

a thing.

In today' s courts, per:;ons, places. things, and entire court processes, are often written in all

capital letters , a clear violation of The Rules of English, which must violate the common law

as

we ll.

But, this

is

done to

full

y infohn defendants and plaintiffs of the type of court that

will

hear a

case. It says, clearly, that a court

is

sitting to hear matters

in

controversy -

b e t w e e n p e r s o n ~

a

res and e r s o n ~ and thereby full disclosure is given to all .

Today' s courts cannot deal with real people, places, and things, i.e., substance, because,

being bound by imperial law, such courts can only deal with fictional

p e r s o n ~

Thus,

all

parties

agree to be named, and do appear by, fictitious names, spelled in all capital letters, i.e., a nom e

u rre (war name)

An

example

of

a war name is, JOHN DAVID SMITH. n common law, the Christian name is

spelled John David Smith. Because

all

corporations are also fictions

of

law, their names are

spelled in all capitals as well. Thus, if I.B.M. is a party to an action, its name is written; INTER

NATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES, INC. on the court ' s Docket and n

all

process.

Initials or abbreviations

ofa

name, are no name at all, and their use creates another fictition.

Government documents commonly make no provision in their forms for one to write out his

middle name. This is a deliberate form

of

entrapment. This

is

the practice on

all

I.R.S. forms that

only allow space for a middle initial.

One styles any plaintiff in process from an emergency powers court in all capitals, or initials,

such

as

THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE,

or

the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Spell out

all

numerals

or

numbers

in

abatements, i.e. , The Year

of

Our Lord and Saviour

Jesus Christ, Nineteen hundred and Ninety-six. Numbers are fictions in numerical form and have

no substance. n common law it is best to spell all numbers in their word equivalents.

Next,

is

the use of parenthesis, brackets, curly braces, and boxes. All information contained

therein is classed

as

; extraneous, explanatory, and interpolated matter, with no force and effect

in law .,, 4

Thus, if you must use a ZIP Code, put brackets around

it

to deflect its force and effect

The point of this di scussion is, any name not correctly and fully spelled out is a misnomer .

is

a solid plea

in

In

most non-statutory abatements there is

Thus. one can say ; My appellation

is

in

sert the incorrectly spelled name on the process) . This

is

sufficient

to establish that a misnomer has been used and is

all

one needs to say .(See sample abatements at

the end)

If your name

is

a single letter and not a

full

name. make sure you DO NOT PUT A PERIOD

after the single letter name, because it says that one

of

y

our

names

is

abbreviated and

is

thus a

fictitious

persona

To save yourself the pains of being mis-interpreted, one might want to adopt a

fully spelled name to replace a single letter name, hopefully one with more letters than one can

type on its paperwork.

You may

e periods after each line

of

your postal location (avoid using the commercial word

address) . Then, each line of one ' s postal location

is

a self-contained entity. Do not use commas to

string together names and addresses.

English

is

important to understand because

it

speaks directly to ' mis-joinder' and ' non

joinder ' issues. One cannot be mis-joined and is thus not joined

in

the action. No joinder. no case.

The above

is

only a summary of the relationship of English usage and the law.

The Rule is; Know the English language and use it like a weapon

in

law.

What s

n

a Word?

If one makes a careful study

of

the way in which imperial powers word their paperwork,

letters, and process, one wi ll find a very deceitful use

of

certain words and phrases,

all of

which

are designed to compel one to make a 'voluntary appearance. ' And, since

all

appearances are

voluntary, the words must carry the maximum impact, yet not cross over the line so as to violate

the Rules

of

Imperial Process. Thus, one may see phrases such as You must appear at . blah,

blah, blah, at such a date and time, blah, blah, blah.

Has this sentence violated the Imperial Rules

of

Process?

Answer: No.

The reason: In

Law

, ' must' means ' may.' What's really being said

is

, We invite you to

appear . because your appearance must be voluntary. Such phrases are designed to strike lear

into the heart

of

a defendant and provoke a knee-jerk reaction that means the defendant loses

l

Other words and phrases using the same kind

of

deceit are: Notice , ''Notice to Ap

pear

, ''N

otice

of

LienlLevy,

''N

otice to Remove, ''Notice

of

Warrant, ' 'Notice

of

Trespass,

Order to Show Cause

,

Order and Demand, and

IT

IS SO ORDERED. From what we have

all

learned from above, we now know that the phrase

IT IS SO

ORDERED, because written

in

all

caps, is unintelligible

in

English, and

is

thus abatable.

When

in

doubt, get an old dictionary oflaw .

Letters from the Government. I

t is

common for

all

branches

of

government to send letters to people they are setting

up

for

persecution. The purpose

of

letters

is

not to infonn

~ : U ,

but to inform them

as

to how much you

know

Law

People nonnally respond to letters with more letters. But, letters, as such. have no force and

effect in

law

Thus, when you respond to a letter with another letter, this tells whoever sent you

the letter that you know nothing I about law and that you can probably be pressured to roll over

and

pay without any further trouble on the government's part. The letter is, therefore, merely a

device used by governments to collect revenues, without the bother

of

issuing process and going

to court.

The problem is, this tactic joins one to an action without them knowing

it

The I.R.S. uses this tactic, very effectively. Threatening letters making outrageous demands

for taxes you probably

don t

owe, are typical. Your knee-jerk reaction is, respond with a letter

asking

all

kinds

of

questions that the LR

S

could not care less about. The point

of

the outrageous

letter and demands is, to provoke a response from you, get you to appear,

or

make a call to the

I.R.S., in which they will apply pore heat to force one to roll over. The I.R.S. doesn't care

whether you've properly paid "ydur fair share," they want more. The object is, compel you to

submit to an

increase in your voluntary assessments, rather than fight them. The letters are thus,

a c t i ~ using fear and i n t i m i d t i o ~ and they exploit your ignorance

of

Law.

Remember, also, most I.R.S. agents are sub-contractors and work on commissions from

h

· I

property

t

ey

seIZe

Often, the news media blasts you with stories of how the very wealthy are put in jail by the

I.R.S.

or

have to pay huge fines anti penalties for not filing or filing in error.

But, it doesn t matter who ~ n s you a letter: do not respond

with

another letter

Respond with lawful process, i.e.,

n

abatement. Their letter may have no force and effect in law,

but the abatement

will

Usually, they just go away and you

will

hear no more.

The Rule is, respond to all letters from any government agency with lawful process.

I

Response Tactics of Imperial Powen.

Since, under InternationallMunicipal Law, "deceit" is legal, {42}

one

must expect that all

federal, state, county, city, and local imperial government officers and agents will use it to get

what they want, which is,

to

compel the private Christian man to answer for the person and

"voluntarily comply." .

Tactics used by imperial powers to get 'voluntary compliance,' would be a joke

if

the end

result was not so vicious. They will lie, cheat, destroy evidence, and create evidence where

it

never existed. Thus, there is

a

wide

r i e t y

of

tactics

of

response, used by all government officers

and agents to try

to

get someone who has served a non-statutory abatement, to respond in such a

way as to nullify or circumvent the effect of the abatement. The idea is, they cannot set aside the

abatement. They must deceive you, the abator, to do something that

will

by your response, have

the same effect. Then, they will re-issue a demand, bench warrant, or whatever, and proceed

as

i

the abatement never existed, in the first place.

In the examples

of

Response Tactics that follow, we assume that some branch

of

government

sends you something.

t

could be a letter from the I.R.S., a Notice to Appear on a traffic ticket, a

demand from the local Fire Department

to

cut your grass, a building code violation, or almost

anything else.
