Search for form 56.

Form 56 is a "Notice Concerning Fiduciary Relationship" the first line asks for:

Name of person for whom you are acting(as shown on tax return).

Form 56 is a PDF, so scroll down to the bottom, to the "Definitions" section:

Person. A person is any individual, trust, estate, partnership, association, company, or corporation.

An individual by legal definition is a natural person, while something like a trust is an artificial person. The
registration of your birth with the State, your Birth Certificate, and your social security number represent a
trust which is an artificial person.

The Federal Reserve has a lien held on that trust because you are being held as collateral for the National Debt
that the bankers created.

After slavery was abolished (by the thirteenth amendment, not the fourteenth) the "freed" slaves were placed
under the jurisdiction of the Federal Government by the Fourteenth Amendment Section 1:

Amendment 14 "Citizenship Rights"

Ratified 07-09-1868

1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United
States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges
or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property,
without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Black's Law Dictionary, Third Pocket Edition defines a 'Privilege' as the following:

privilege. 1. A special legal right, exemption, or immunity GRANTED to a person or class of persons; an exception to a
duty.

legal. adj.1. Of or relating to Law; falling within the province of Law. 2. Established, required, or permitted by Law;
LAWFUL. 3. Of or relating to Law as opposed to equity.

grant. verb. 1. To give or confer (something), with or without compensation. 2. To formally transfer (real property) by
deed or other writing. 3. To give permit or agree to. 4. To approve, warrant, or order (a request, motion, etc).

As you can see, by the Fourteenth Amendment you are U.S Citizen who falls under the jurisdiction of the Federal
Government; and the Federal Government grants you your so-called "unalienable rights."

Remember that the Contract makes the Law, and we have the unlimited right to contract, even if we have no
knowledge of making a contract.
The Declaration of Independence states clearly:
http://www.ushistory.org/declaration/document/index.htm

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with
certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure
these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the CONSENT of the
governed, —

endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights.

en·dow (n-dou)
tr.v. en·dowed, en·dow·ing, en·dows
1.) To provide with property, income, or a source of income.
2.) a. To equip or supply with a talent or quality: Nature endowed you with a beautiful singing voice.
b. To imagine as having a usually favorable trait or quality: endowed the family pet with human intelligence

Jurisdiction is a HUGE part of Law. If your Creator (whomever that may be) endowed you with "unalienable
rights" what mortal, or mortal institution, has the Lawful authority to strip you of those rights? Like, if you have
the "Right to Bear Arms" why do you have to ask the State for permission to exercise that right by obtaining a
permit?

The philosophical idea of a "Creator" is the idea of an "Absolute, Highest-Authority." That authority "endowed"
YOU with unalienable rights, so why are you asking the State for permission to exercise them?

It is because you are less-than human. Or at least something pertaining to you is.

Remember that slaves were considered to be animals and "less-than-human." Even after slaves were freed, when
two "freed slaves" got married it was considered "animal husbandry." The newly freed slaves DID NOT have the
same citizenship status as everyone else, the thirteenth amendment freed them and the fourteenth amendment
charted out their citizenship status.

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the CONSENT of
the governed.

Notice the word consent. TO consent means to make a contract. And the contract makes the Law.

You have willingly (yet unknowingly) diminished your own political status by contracting with the State and placing
yourself under Fourteenth Amendment jurisdiction.

If you have a Birth Certificate you are contracted with the State.
If you have a Driver's License you are contracted with the State.
If you are a registered Voter you are contracted with the State.
If you have a gun permit you are contracted with the State.
If you have a Marriage License you are contracted with the State.

The idea of Capitis deminutio and having a "strawman" is merely a symptom of the Fourteenth Amendment.

You do not have a "right" to do something if you have to ask for permission, you have a privilege.

Stop asking for PERMISSION and just do it!
