I wanted to add this comment from another thread so people will have this understanding: One does not show up in a court as a man. This is impossible. This would be like playing a board game of Monopoly without a game piece. The peice is the person of the player. The player uses the money and title of the legal (artificial) setting of the game only through this gamepeice (person), and the money always goes back to the banker, because the money is debt and is property of the game, never the person. The person is property of government, not you. You are a user of the person, not the Creator/owner. Persons are administrated, like employees, not free men. Men are never administered, only legal persons, places, and things (properties). Real Men (Creations of God) cannot be recognized in court (invention of man), anymore than a cartoon can appear in real life. A Person makes an legal, fictional "APPEARANCE" after being "SUMMONED" like a ghost. A man does not appear, only a person, as represented by either the man or attorney as its agent. But the man is never recognized, only the legal fiction. As an agent, you (the Man) and the attorney are bound in allegience and duty to the court, the attorney being and officer of the court. Men cannot appear out of thin air as fictional characters, only persons can. Persons cannot appear by themselves, they must have some agent using it. From the Latin, persona means "a mask." Anyone, any legal guru that claims to go to court and says I am a man when asked if the person is present in the courtroom is a fraud. The judge will instantly know you have no idea what you are talking about and that you are part of this lame-duck tax protest/truther movement. The judge will continue to call for the person (your legal name) or the agent for the person (i.e. attorney). There is no other option. Again, men cannot be administered in a legal setting, only his status (person) in that legal jurisdiction. To act in person, and to appear in person or with an attorney (assigned agent) is to be in bond and surety to all commerce (a federal jurisdiction) in which that person has done, which is all commerce on public record. That person is required as a well-defeind "taxpayer" to pay taxes.
Avoidance or protest of taxes is a non sequitor (non-starter). There is either taxable (public) commerce or there is private (foreign) commerce. Generally, to be private (foreign) in your trade, using US dollars, one must be doing commerce in only the state (intrastate) and not between states (interstate), and if you are smart, doing it through a dummy company instead of in a foreign US person. US persons are foreigners in the states. Federal law is sovereign in the foreign (private) states when done by US persons. The whole point, as the Bible instructs, is to stop acting in and doing business as a US person. Eventually, the point is to never us at all or get any benefit or right from that federal corporation of D.C. Remember, the word district means to be in distress, distraint, and seizure (Caesar). But also remember that the only reason you are in the district is as a voluntary citizen thereof, acting in its person instead of being private (foreign) from it in your own state. The legal solution is to instead invent your own person (company, trust, PMA, etc.) in the state only, and stop doing interstate commerce of any kind if possible. As such, the important detail here is to not attach your public US person to the private one you create in liue of that federal persona. That's where a trust attorney or Brandon comes in to play. And that's where these false tax protest gurus we are exposing as complete frauds try and intercept you and trick you into their very bad "paperwork" for entertainment and education purposes only. Intstant red flag! Ironicially, they have convinced you not to trust attorneys, and that they instaed have your best interest at heart. This is like hiring an unexperienced child to do a professional carpenters work.
I only trust Brandon because I vetted, paid, and recieved what he promised.
But this is not to say that going to an attorney that specializes in trusts is not a good option. It is to say that guys like Brandon are the extreme exception in this alternative sphere. However, this is to say that trust attorneys are a dime a dozen and will generally use the same form-letter documents with your name and some added langauge, which is not a bad thing, for that means that when the trust is administered it will be similar and carry precidents that are expected. This is why Brandon has spent so much of his money on buying high profile trusts so as to use that proper and binging language in his own documents.
The difference again is that this is not a do it yourself course or a "buy my paperwork" scam.
Most importantly is to remember that you are not a person. You act in the character and status of the person when you use the money system, mail, and other properties of corporations and governments.
To quote the US dollar: "THIS NOTE IS LEGAL TENDER `FOR ALL DEBTS PUBLIC AND PRIVATE"
Public = Federal Private = State/anonymous
IMPORTANT: A US PERSON IS NEVER PRIVATE. IT IS PROPERTY OF ITS CREATOR.
Maxim of law: THE CREATOR CONTROLS
This is also why you cannot "change your status" as the false for-profit prophets try and convince you. It's not yours to change, any more than a slave has several shackles to chose from every morning.
When the use of the term "private person" is used it is not used as you might think. It is a sort of oxymoron that is accepted in general speech. A person is public to whatever jurisdiction that person is legally tied to and administratable. Remember, private only means to be foreign from a specific jurisdiction. The White House called Biden's Son a "Private Citizen" for this reason, because he and his crooked family do everything through trusts, foreign companies and trusts, and other means that are not administered in a US court. The actions of the Bibden's were foreign (private) from the US, therefore they get away with every crime imaginable... EXCEPT NOT PAYING TAXES! Any crime charged would be purely federal, as used in US jurisdiction, such as gun charges or drug possesion.
Hope that helps.

Thanks for the refresher for everyone. Calling the strawman a "natural person" who is "sovereign" is literal insanity.
Taxes are quite easy to lower when one knows the tax code. Not just simply saying "I'm not a taxpayer" or "I sent paperwork" like the tax protestor crowd will have you believe.
They gave business owners legal loopholes to lower or entirely eliminate their tax bill using the system. No you don't have to buy a Range Rover to save on taxes. They have incentivized business owners to use two companies. One in an income tax free on the state level to shift profits to. While maxing out deductions, as well as contributions to company retirement accounts and health plans with leftover profits.
This is not possible unless you have a legitimate business setup.
Trusts ARE not tax shelters.
If you aren't familiar with my breakdown on the fake movement's favorite trust gurus KL and Art of Passing the Buck, I have demonstrated how "registering everything in a trust" whether it be business or placing personal income into these fails in tax court and implicates one in the highest tax liability.
Trusts are for estate planning, privacy and asset protection (irrevocable trusts). Nothing else.
A business is what can be utilized for lowering taxes. In business context, a trust is just used to own a business. If it's irrevocable, that is completely different ownership as it is a separate person. Therefore whatever it owns is not your asset anymore in the context of legal ownership. Under penalties of perjury one does not have to say what they don't own. Just not for tax evasion like the gurus promote.
I have worked with people who used these alt law trust gurus. Not only were the trusts complete shams (vapid of enforceable, prudent, & preventive provisions) but also the client was left not knowing how to use it. Their things were bound for probate and creditors if ever sued. Also 10/10 times I've seen that the settlor in guru trusts still control the trust even though the guru promises their irrevocable trust will help you "own nothing, but control everything" and it fails the control test in court.
There are some good trust attorneys like Clint says. Just hard to find. Most of them only draw up simple Revocable trusts where there is no asset protection and less liability/work for the attorney. The ones that do specialize in Irrevocable ones charge tens of thousands of dollars and can serve as third party trustee if you don't have someone you can trust to fill that role. It may be worth the high ticket only if you have the means to afford it. If one's net worth is over 5 million it might even be good stewardship to use one to set up an offshore trust since using them will keep you in compliance with the law on both shores.
