Requirement for Consent

An example illustrating the content of this section is in order to drive some important points home. If someone creates a 1 contract and signs it and then sticks it on the table in front of you, it isn’t “law” as far as you are concerned and you aren’t 2 the “person” defined in the agreement. 3

“Consensus facit legem.

Consent makes the law. A contract is a law between the parties, which can acquire force only by consent.”

Once you put pen to the paper and sign the contract or demonstrate behavior that evidences your express or implied consent 8 to the contract, the contract becomes “law” between the parties. Before you signed the contract, it was simply a proposal. 9 It acquires the “force of law” only AFTER you consent. This, in fact, is the method by which the Internal Revenue Code 10 was “enacted”. It is identified in 1 U.S.C. §204 as “prima facie evidence”, which means PRESUMED to be evidence. 11 Since: 12 1. All presumption against a private party protected by the Constitution is unconstitutional and unlawful, 13 2. You must be presumed INNOCENT until proven guilty, meaning a “nontaxpayer” until the GOVERNMENT, as 14 moving party, proves you expressly consented to the franchise and thereby acquired the status of “taxpayer”. 15 1. Using a Social Security Number or Taxpayer Identification Number. 26 C.F.R. §301.6109-1 says that Taxpayer 18 Identification numbers may only be used by those engaged in a “trade or business”, which is statutorily defined as a 19 “public office” in the U.S. government. PRIVATE parties CANNOT use numbers and must become public officers in 20 order to use said numbers. 21 2. Filling out a form that describes the applicant as a “taxpayer”, “employee”, statutory “U.S. citizen” or “U.S. resident”. 22 The IRS Form W-4, for instance, identifies the applicant in the upper left corner as an “employee”, NOT in a common 23 law sense, but in a STATUTORY sense under the terms of the franchise that it implements. 24 3. Citing provisions of the franchise agreement in your defense. This is called “purposeful availment” by the courts and 25 causes an implied surrender of sovereign immunity under 28 U.S.C. §1605(a)(2) that turns a non-resident alien into a 26 “ resident alien ” . 27 4. Seeking commercial “benefits” under the franchise agreement codified in Internal Revenue Code, Subtitles A and C, 28 such as: 29 4.1. “trade or business” deductions under 26 U.S.C. §162. 30 4.2. A graduated, reduced rate of tax in 26 U.S.C. §1. “Nonresident aliens” may not claim such “benefits” and pay a 31 HIGHER flat 30% rate on earnings originating ONLY within the “United States”, meaning the GOVERNMENT. 32 4.3. “earned income credits” under 26 U.S.C. §32. 33 . . .then the franchise contract or agreement can’t pertain to you as “prima facie evidence”. It doesn’t become REAL 16 evidence of an obligation or liability on your part until you demonstrate your consent to be bound by it, for instance, by: 17

8.2 The process by which the people VOLUNTARILY enslave themselves 38

Larken Rose has put together a very good video showing the process by which people VOLUNTARILY enslave 39 themselves. He appears to have named the video after the Jones Plantation in Ghana, in which Jim Jones convinced all of 40 his followers to commit mass suicide by drinking cyanide laced Kool-Aide. We highly recommend this video. You can 41 watch it at the link below: 42
