SECTION
IV
RECISSION & STATUS
Due to all of the foregoing Sections of this Affidavit, the
undersigned is compelled by conscience to revert back to
fundamental principles. I do therefore, due to the constructive
fraud outlined herein, revoke, cancel, rescind and make void ab
initio, nunc pro tunc, my signature on any and all contracts,
agreements, forms, or any instrument which may be construed in any
way to give any agency or department of any federal or state
government authority, venue, or jurisdiction over me.
1. Be it known to all courts, government agents, and other
parties, that I, Theodore Ralph Pedemonti, am a natural freeborn
Christian Sovereign, without subjects. I am not of subject status
nor am I subject to any entity anywhere apart from Almighty God,
nor is any entity subject to me. I neither dominate anyone, nor am
I dominated.
My authority for this statement is the same as it is for all free
Sovereigns everywhere: the age-old, timeless, and universal
respect for the intrinsic rights, property, freedoms and
responsibilities of the Sovereign Individual.
"At the revolution the sovereignty devolved in the people and they
are truly the sovereigns of the country, but they are sovereigns
without subjects ..." [Emphasis added] Chisholm v. Georgia 2 U.S.
436, 491
"Sovereignty itself is, of course, not subject to law, for it is
the author and source of law; but in our system while sovereign
powers are delegated to the agencies of government, sovereignty
itself remains with the people, by whom and for whom all
government exists and acts." [Emphasis added] Woo Lee v. Hopkins
118 U.S. 356
2. Authority for the above statement is also codified at Title
1, pages xxix and xxx wherein the authority in this case is the
Declaration of Independence. "In a country founded upon a declared
principle that all men are created equal." J.J. Burlamaqui,
Principles of the Laws of Nature.
3. Having been Created free and equal with all other men and
endowed by my Creator with certain and secure (u)inalienable
rights. I am neither under the authority of any superior nor
subject to the jurisdiction of anything other than the Christian
Common Law of this State and of the several States united.
4. However, being subject to Almighty God and the Christian
Common Law necessitates the execution of this affidavit as I
cannot in good faith and Christian conscience participate in
fraud, (see Section II) knowing the penalties accessed against me
by Almighty God for so doing.
5. I am not a "person" as such term is defined in statutes of the
United States or statutes of the several States when such
definition includes artificial entities. I refuse to be treated
as a federally or State created entity that is only capable of
exercising certain rights, privileges, or immunities as
specifically granted by federal or State governments.
6. Consistent with the eternal tradition of natural common law,
unless I have harmed or violated someone or their property, I have
committed no crime; and therefore, I am not subject to any
penalty. The definition of [natural] common law used herein, is
not precedented "case-law" that has been arbitrarily made by
ignorant or corrupt "judges" to suit a corrupt "system". It is the
Christian Common law of this State and of the several States
united and upheld by honorable judges.
7. I act according to the principles set forth in the following
U.S. Supreme Court case:
"The individual may stand upon his constitutional rights as a
citizen. He is entitled to carry on his private business in his
own way. His power to contract is unlimited. He owes no such duty
[to submit his books and papers for an examination] to the State,
since he receives nothing therefrom, beyond the protection of
his life and property. His rights are such as existed by the law
of the land [Common Law] long antecedent to the organization of
the State, and can only be taken from him by due process of law,
and in accordance with the Constitution. 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." [Emphasis added] Hale v. Henkel, 201 U.S. 43
at 47 (1905)
Many issues such as these are affirmed in the Magna Carta, the
Great Charter of English liberty, 1215, and carried forward to
this States fundamental organic law. (See Section III).
8. Thus, be it known to all, that I reserve my natural common law
right not to be compelled to perform under any contract that I did
not enter into knowingly, voluntarily, and intentionally.
Furthermore, I do not accept the liability associated with the
compelled and pretended "benefit" of any hidden or unrevealed
contract or commercial agreement.
9. As such, any hidden or unrevealed contracts that supposedly
create obligations to perform, for persons of subject status, are
inapplicable to me, and are null and void. If I have participated
in any of the supposed "benefits" associated with these hidden
contracts, I have done so under duress, for lack of any practical
alternative. I may have received such "benefits" but I have not
accepted them in a manner that binds me to anything.
10. Any such participation does not constitute "acceptance" in
contract law, because of the absence of full disclosure of any
valid "offer," and voluntary consent without misrepresentation or
coercion, under contract law. Without a valid voluntary offer and
acceptance, knowingly entered into by both parties, there is no
"meeting of the minds," and therefore no valid contract. Any
supposed "contracts" or "implied contracts" upon which current day
judges take "silent" judicial notice are therefore void, ab initio
and rescinded Nunc Pro Tunc.
11. From my age of consent to the date affixed herein I have never
signed a government contract knowingly, willingly, intelligently,
and voluntarily whereby I have waived any of my natural common law
rights. I have never consented to be removed from the protection
of our constitutions and the Christian Common Law upon which they
are founded. Take Notice that I revoke, cancel, and make void ab
initio, nunc pro tunc my signature on any and all contracts,
agreements, forms, or any instrument which may be construed in any
way to give any agency or department of any federal or state
government authority, venue, or jurisdiction over me, including
military jurisdiction as I am a civilian in private live.
This position is in accordance with the principles set forth in
the U.S. Supreme Court decision of Brady v. U.S., 379 U.S. 742 at
748 (1970):
"Waivers of Constitutional Rights not only must be voluntary, they
must be knowingly intelligent acts, done with sufficient
awareness of the relevant circumstances and consequences."
Typical examples of such compelled and pretended "benefits" are:
a) Federal Reserve Notes: The limited liability associated with
the use of Federal Reserve Notes to discharge my debts. I have
used these only because in America there is very little or no
"lawful money" i.e. gold and silver, in circulation.
b) Bank Accounts: If there is any hidden contract behind the
bank signature card, my signature thereon gives no validity to it.
The signature is only for verification of identity. I can not be
obligated to fulfill any hidden or unrevealed contract whatsoever
due to the absence of full disclosure and voluntary consent.
Likewise, my use of the bank account thereof is due to the absence
or scarcity of a bank not associated with the Federal Reserve
system. In general, people have been prevented from issuing their
own currencies, and such prevention is in violation of the United
States Constitution. Were there an alternative, I would be happy
to use it. To not use any bank at all is impossible or very
difficult, as everyone knows, in today's marketplace.
c) Social Security Number: The use of a Social Security number
normally assigned to persons of subject status, I have used
exceptionally, under duress, only because of the extreme
inconvenience of operating without one in today's marketplace. It
is requested by banks, employers, lenders, and many other
government agencies and businesses. My reason for using it is not
because I wish to participate in the Social Security system, as I
do not wish to participate. Let it be known that if I use the
Social Security number assigned to me I use it for information
only and not for identification of myself as a "taxpayer" or
artificial "person" defined by statute, or as a "person" who has
"elected" to stand as "surety" for the bankrupt Corporate United
States in exchange for Social Security benefits. Any supposed
"election" on my part is void due to the constructive fraud of
non-disclosure and is therefore void, ab initio, and rescinded
nunc pro tunc. I am neither the subject of nor the object of the
Internal Revenue Laws contained in Title 26 USC or in this states
"income tax" laws. I am not an "individual" member of a municipal
corporation, state or federal.
d) Past tax returns or forms filed: Any tax returns or forms I
may have filed in the past, were filed due to the dishonest
atmosphere of fear and intimidation created by the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) and the local assessor's offices; not
because there is any law requiring me to do so. Once I discovered
that the IRS and other tax agencies have been misinforming the
public, I have felt it is my responsible duty to society to
terminate my voluntary participation. Because such returns were
filed under Threat, Duress, and Coercion (TDC), and no two-way
contract was ever signed with full disclosure, there is nothing in
any past filing of returns or payments that created any valid
contract. Therefore, no legal obligation on my part was ever
created. My signature on any such form is therefore canceled,
revoked, rescinded, and made void, ab initio, nunc pro tunc.
e) Driver's License: As a free Christian Sovereign, there is no
legal requirement for me to have such a license to "drive" an
automobile on the common ways . Technically, the unrevealed legal
purpose of a driver's license is commercial in nature. Since I do
not carry passengers for hire, there is no law requiring me to
have a license to travel for my own pleasure and that of my family
and friends. However, because of the lack of education of police
officers on this matter, should I be stopped for any reason and
found to be without a license, it is likely, I would be ticketed
and fined or unlawfully summoned to appear in Court and be
subjected to the administrative process of summary court martial
proceedings. Therefore, if I have carried a license in the past,
it was under duress, a mistake of law, due to constructive fraud,
to avoid extreme inconvenience. Any supposed "license" is
therefore void, ab initio and rescinded nunc pro tunc, as no
license can exist relative to the right of Christian liberty on
the common ways.
f) License Plates: State plates on the car I "drive". Similarly,
even though technically, all cars do not fit the legal definition
of a "motor vehicle," which is used for commercial purposes,
nevertheless, it may be registered with the state and carry the
state plates on it, because to have any other plates or no plates
at all, causes me to run the risk of police officer harassment,
unlawful property seizure and extreme inconvenience.
g) Birth Certificate: The fact that a birth certificate was
granted to me by a local hospital or government agency when I
entered this world, is irrelevant to my Sovereignty. No status,
high or low, can be assigned to another person through a piece of
paper, without the recipient's full knowledge and consent.
Therefore, such a piece of paper provides date and place
information only. It indicates nothing about jurisdiction, nothing
about property ownership, nothing about rights, and nothing about
subject status. The only documents that can have any legal
meaning, as it concerns my status in society, are those which I
have signed as an adult, with full knowledge and consent, free
from misrepresentation or coercion of any kind.
h) Marriage license: The acquisition of a marriage license is now
being revealed as being necessary only for slaves. It does not
make the "State" a party to my marriage contract and does not give
the "State" any control over my children. The act of a Sovereign
such as myself obtaining such a license, through social custom and
ignorance of law, has no legal effect in changing my status. This
is because any such change in status, if any may be supposed to
occur, could happen only through a hidden and unrevealed contract
or statute. Since no hidden, unrevealed, and undisclosed
information, if it exists, can be lawfully held to be binding, it
is null and void.
i) Public Schools: Children in public school. The attendance of
my children in government-supported "public" schools does not
create any legal tax obligation for me, nor any other legal
obligation, because I never signed a contract agreeing to such
obligation for the supposed compulsory "privilege" of public
school attendance.
If any of my children have attended government supported "public"
schools, such was done under duress and not out of free will. Be
it known that I regard "compulsory State education" as a violation
of the 2nd Thirteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution which
states in relevant part: "Neither slavery nor involuntary
servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party
shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United
States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."
j) Declaration of Citizenship: Any document I may have ever
signed, in which I answered "yes" to the question, "Are you a U.S.
citizen?"-cannot be used to compromise my status as a Sovereign,
nor obligate me to perform in any manner. This is because without
full written disclosure of the definition and consequences of such
supposed "citizenship," provided in a document bearing my
signature given freely without misrepresentation or coercion,
there can be no legally binding contract.
I am not a "United States" citizen subject to its jurisdiction.
The United States is an entity created by the U.S. Constitution
with jurisdiction described in Section I of this Affidavit. I am
not a "resident of," an "inhabitant of," a "franchise of," a
"subject of", a "ward of," the "property of," the "chattel of," or
"subject to the jurisdiction of" any corporate federal government,
corporate state government, corporate county government, corporate
city government, or corporate municipal body politic created under
the alleged authority of the U.S. Constitution. I am not subject
to any legislation, department, or agency created by such
authorities, nor to the jurisdiction of any employees, officers,
or agents deriving their authority therefrom. Further, I am not a
subject of the Administrative and Legislative Article IV Courts of
the several States, or Article I Courts of the United States, or
bound by precedents of such courts, deriving their jurisdiction
from said authority.
Take Notice that I hereby revoke, cancel, rescind and make void ab
initio, nunc pro tunc any such instrument or any presumed
"election" made by any of the several States or the United States
government or any agency or department thereof, that I am or ever
have voluntarily "elected" to stand as surety for the debts of the
bankrupt United States or any of the several States or to be
treated as a United States citizen subject to its jurisdiction or
a resident of any territory, possession, instrumentality or
enclave under the sovereignty or exclusive jurisdiction of the
United States as defined in the U.S. Constitution in Article I,
Sec. 8, Cl. 17 and Article IV, Sec. 3, Cl. 2.
k) Voter registration: Similarly, since no obligation to perform
in any manner was ever revealed in print, as part of the
requirements for the supposed "privilege" to vote for government
officials, any such registration on my part cannot be legal
evidence of any obligation to perform. Likewise, I have granted NO
jurisdiction over me, to any political office.
l) Postal Service: "Free Delivery" or use of the 2-letter State
code and zip code. My use of the 2-letter State code and zip code
in my "address" that is secretly codified to indicate United
States "federal zone" jurisdiction, has no effect whatsoever on my
Christian Sovereign status. Simply by receiving or sending "mail"
through a quasi-federal messenger service, the postal service, at
a location designated as a "federal zone" or indicated with a
2-letter State code and zip code, cannot place me under federal
jurisdiction or obligation. Such a presumption would be
ludicrous.
I use these codes only for the purposes of information and making
it more efficacious for the U.S. Postal Service to deliver my mail
and I do not accept any liability associated therewith to subject
myself to any jurisdiction foreign to my venue and status under
the Christian Common Law.
m) Use of semantics: There are some immature people with mental
imbalances, such as the craving to dominate other people, who
masquerade as "government." Just because they alter definitions of
words in the law books to their supposed advantage, doesn't mean I
accept those definitions. The fact that they define the words
"person," "address," "mail," "resident," "motor vehicle,"
"driving," "passenger," "employee," "income," among others, in
ways different from the common usage, so as to be associated with
a subject of slave status, means nothing to a natural freeborn
Christian Sovereign.
Because the courts have become entangled in the game of semantics,
be it known to all courts and parties, that if I have ever signed
any document or spoken any words on record, using words defined by
twists in the law books different from the common usage, there can
be no effect whatsoever on my Sovereign status in society thereby,
nor can there be created any obligations to perform in any manner,
by the mere use of such words. Where the meaning in the common
dictionary differs from the meaning in statute law, it is the
meaning in the common dictionary that prevails, because it is more
trustworthy.
n) Uniform Commercial Code: I am not in commerce and the
Uniform Commercial Code/Law Merchant is private law and has no
applicability to myself in any dealings with government.
12. Such compelled and supposed "benefits" include, but are not
limited to, the aforementioned typical examples. My use of such
alleged "benefits" is under duress only, and is with full
reservation of all of my common law rights. I have waived none of
my intrinsic rights and freedoms by my use thereof.
13. Private rights are the cornerstone and first principle of all
free government. The focus of all law is to secure these rights
from all encroachments as the sole and exclusive purpose and
fuction of government. This elementary "truth" is stated
succinctly:
"... and to secure these rights governments are instituted among
men." Declaration of Independance
"All that government does and provides legitimately is in pursuit
of duty to provide protection for private rights." [Emphasis
added] Wynhamer v. People, 13 NY 378
This "duty" is a debt owed to its Creator, We the People, and the
private unenfranchised individual; which debt and duty is never
extinquished or discharged and is "perpetual." No matter what the
government/State provides in manner of convenience and safety, the
sovereign individual "owes nothing to the public [or to the
government] so long as he does not trespass upon their rights."
(See Hale v Henkel, supra)
