Introduction
We live in a world partially populated by bureaucrats. These bureaucrats
have rules they believe in. And they believe it's their job to impose their
rules on you.
You want to conduct your life, business, and affairs with minimum interference. That's one reason you use a Pure Contract Trust - one tool among your armory of defenses.
The more tools you acquire, and the better you get at using them, the more competent you become at warding off unwanted intrusions.
One of your tools is the attitude that you will always look for better tools and more powerful ways to use them. Another tool is flexibility. A further tool is using the approach that you want to become a master manipulator with the ever-increasing power to manipulate bureaucrats into leaving you alone. Your most basic tool is the power-message.
Power-Messages
By "power-message" is meant something that you put in the environment
of a person in order to achieve a desired result. For example, I would
like an orange. I ask my mother, "May I have an orange, please?"
My mother gives me an orange. I have achieved the desired result: obtaining
an orange. The question "May I have an orange, please?" is a
power-message.
The application of power-messages follows certain steps:
(a) Identify or define a desired result.
(b) Develop or select a power-message that may achieve the desired result.
(c) Identify or select person(s) likely to assist you in achieving the
desired result.
(d) Do not expect the person(s) to be different or behave differently from
the way they are and behave.
(e) Put the power-message in the environment of the person(s) you want
to influence to bring about the desired result.
(f) Observe what happens. Learn from it what works.
(g) If the desired result has been achieved, that ends the procedure.
If the desired result has not been achieved, any or all of the following
steps can be taken:
(a) Ask, "What can I learn from what I did and what happened?"
(b) Choose a different desired result.
(c) Select different or more person(s) to whom to present the power-message.
(d) Repeat the power-message or put out many copies of it.
(e) Change and improve the power-message.
(f) Develop an entirely different power-message.
(g) Ask, "What do I need to improve about myself so I can choose attainable
desired results, design effective power-messages, and select the appropriate
person(s) to whom to present my power-messages?)
A power-message can be a smile, a word of encouragement, a warning shout, a love letter, a dollar bill, a hug, a kiss, an advertisement, a speech, a question, a present, a report like this one, an explanation, a book, an apology, a phone call.
It is when our power-messages fail to produce desired results, that we need to very consciously and deliberately observe, think, and choose what to do next. If we react automatically, unthinkingly, emotionally we may compound undesirable results into even worse results. For example, if we react with anger or make-wrong, the result we produce may get worse and worse - such as a shouting match.
We need to learn when it is unrealistic to expect certain results with
certain people. We need to learn when, in order to achieve a desired result
with one person, we have to send our power-message to a hundred or even
a thousand persons. Here are some characteristics of power-messages that
work:
(a) Generally, they have the potential of making the recipient feel good.
(b) They satisfy or promise to satisfy a need of the recipient.
(c) They appeal to the recipient's emotions such as greed or fear.
(d) Generally, they do not make the recipient wrong, nor are they threatening.
(e) The recipient perceives a benefit from acting in accordance with the
power-message.
(f) Exceptionally, emotions such as anger may work.
(g) Exceptionally, orders or threats may work and even be appropriate.
The worst thing you can do when you fail to achieve a desired result, is to blame the recipient(s) of your intended "power-messages." Any message that fails to achieve a desired result is suspect. When you blame the recipient(s), you surrender your power - your success depends on how others are and how they behave. When you say, "I will change myself and my power-messages," then you operate with power.
A power-message is whatever achieves the desired result. However, a power-message that achieves a short-term result may compromise or destroy long-term results - "Today I will do what you say, but just wait till it's my turn to call the shots... "
Power-messages develop efficacy through trial and error, experimentation, observing the consequences they produce, constant improvement. We want to avoid getting stuck with habitual, unconscious messages we repeat over and over without achieving desirable results.
We develop more effective power-messages through our power of choice. So choose wisely!
Dealing with Bureaucrats
Suppose you use a Pure Contract Trust to operate a business and a bureaucrat
comes to the business premises to ask questions like:
You can use several responses:
Use your judgment to choose your response. Consider treating the bureaucrat politely and with respect.
What Bureaucrats Can Do
Bureaucrats have the ability to organize an armed goon squad to raid your
home or business and to take away cash, books, records, files, computers,
inventory, etc. Sometimes their strategy is to simply perform such a raid
with the purpose of wrecking your business and/or life. They have no intention
of prosecuting you or taking any legal action; they simply want to wreck
your life and/or business.
So it's wise to be prepared for such raids. Keep off-site backups of all computer systems and files and other records. You need to be able to continue your business.
You may also want to organize your affairs in such a way that you can rapidly move to other premises if necessary. Flexibility is important. Usually bureaucrats investigate and ask questions before they raid. There is seldom a raid without prior warning. If bureaucrats start investigating in earnest, it may be prudent to move your business elsewhere.
Strategic Considerations
At times, you may be able to use the Jurisdictional Challenge to make bureaucrats
go away. Often, when bureaucrats are confronted with a difficult situation,
they choose the path of least resistance. If the bureaucrat thinks he might
be embarrassed, or is faced with a brick wall, he may just give up and
go away.
However, many bureaucrats can be very persistent. If they decide to "get you at all costs," they are unlikely to give up - even if it costs them millions to hound you. Because they command overwhelming resources, there may be times when prudence indicates that retreat (moving to other premises) is in order. Such retreat should be considered both before and after using the Jurisdictional Challenge.
Also realize that many bureaucrats operate on quotas. They have to produce so much per month or face the wrath of their bosses. If they think they might lose a lot of time going after a difficult case like you, they may just decide to go after the "easy pickings" instead. This would be the path of least resistance.
A very important strategic consideration is that businesses are closed down by bureaucrats all the time - irrespective of whether they "toe the line" or not. It's quite possible to quietly use a Pure Contract Trust to operate a business for many years - never reporting anything to bureaucrats - without ever attracting their attention. Depending on the type of business, it could even be safer to not "toe the line!"
Definitions
Common Law (Black's Law Dictionary):
"As distinguished from law created by the enactment of legislatures,
the common law comprises the body of those principles and rules of action,
relating to the government and security of persons and property, which
derive their authority solely from usages and customs of immemorial antiquity,
or from the judgments and decrees of the courts recognizing, affirming,
and enforcing such usages and customs."
Put simply, common law is law derived from two sources: (1) Usages and customs, and (2) from the affirmations of the judgments of the courts. In our work, we are primarily concerned with the latter part of this definition, namely, the affirmations of the judgments of the courts. This statement does not mean that the U.S. Supreme Court must have ruled on a particular matter. Given that the U.S. Supreme Court is the highest court of the land, and its decisions overrule all lower court decisions, if there are no U.S. Supreme Court rulings on the particular matter, then common law simply means the affirmations of all the lower court rulings. That is what is meant when we refer to case law.
Jurisdiction (Black's Law Dictionary): It is defined as:
"[T]he legal right by which judges exercise their authority. It is
the authority by which courts and judicial officers take cognizance of
and decide cases. It is the authority, capacity, power or right to act."
All the above definitions indicate that jurisdiction is the court's legal right, authority, capacity, or the power to act. When we say "Jurisdictional Challenge," it is the challenge to the court's legal right, authority, capacity, or the power to act. Therefore, when you mount a Jurisdictional Challenge, you are challenging the court's right, or the attacking party's court's right in determining the class of case involved. We are in effect saying, "Show me proof that your court has the right to hear this case."
Statutory law refers to legislated law: the acts of the U.S. Congress and other legislative bodies.
The Pure Contract Trust belongs to a jurisdiction different from statutory law. The Pure Contract Trust is within the jurisdiction of the United States Constitution or Common Law. Statutory law is within the jurisdiction of statutory agencies, whether they be statutes from Congress, the various states, counties, or municipalities. The point is, there are two different jurisdictions, just as there are two different types of law: Common Law and statutory law.
Case Law Citations
Both of these rulings indicate that when the Constructive Notice - see page 4 - is used to challenge the jurisdictional authority of a bureaucrat, then the bureaucrat must prove jurisdiction before being able to proceed legally.
Put into plain language, this is what it means: Upon a Jurisdictional Challenge by the defendant, a judicial action must cease immediately. Before such action can proceed, the court's jurisdictional authority needs to be proven.
This means that there can be no penalty or punishment, if there is no proof of the plaintiff's jurisdiction in the class of case involved.
The proponent of the rule refers to the one who is trying to establish compliance to the statute. It is the attacking party, the plaintiff, that has the burden of proving that he has jurisdiction over the class of case involved.
Citation #6 has been left for last, because of its conclusive finality. This ruling says that a Jurisdictional Challenge can be initiated at any time, even after judgment has been rendered. Do you appreciate the impact of this statement? Nothing can be more threatening, damaging, or demoralizing to an attacker than the effect this ruling can have on the final outcome. Imagine a plaintiff's anguish, if after being awarded a favorable ruling, lost the case on a Jurisdictional Challenge? The words, "Jurisdiction can be challenged at any time, even on final determination," are like a death knell to anyone who seeks litigation outside the court's jurisdictional authority.
Conclusion
The Constructive Notice on page 4 is a Jurisdictional Challenge. It says,
"If you allege that this entity is subject to some statute, rule,
of regulation, please put that in writing, and furthermore, please state
what jurisdiction the statutory agency you represent has over this common-law
constitutional entity." This statement from the Constructive Notice
is your Jurisdictional Challenge to the bureaucrat and his Statutory agency.
In accordance all the foregoing, once you challenge someone's jurisdictional
authority, the burden falls on them to prove that they have the jurisdictional
authority to proceed against you. This challenge could even be used to
nullify a judgment against you.
With competent legal support, the Jurisdictional Challenge can also be used in court. The attacker's statutory court cannot show proof that it has jurisdiction over an Article 1, Section 10, constitutionally-created contract. The contract is under Common Law and protected by the U. S. Constitution. A statutory agency cannot prove that it has jurisdiction over a constitutionally-created contract because it is a private entity that has not compromised any of its constitutional rights. The Pure Contract Trust does not have a Social Security number or a taxpayer's identification number.
The Jurisdictional Challenge, or the Constructive Notice, can be used to respond to any attack against the constitutional entity from a statutory or governmental agency. The following page is a sample of the Constructive Notice that can be used.

Among his rights are a refusal to incriminate himself, and the immunity of himself and his property from arrest or seizure except under a warrant of the law. He owes nothing to the public so long as he does not trespass upon their rights." Hale v. Henkel, 201 U.S. 43 at 47.
