Dear John:

I am writing to thank you for the time you spent explaining to me
your in-depth understanding of federal jurisdiction at the recent
Denver Conference on tax and monetary reform.

By listening  to you  and Walt  Myers debate  the question in the
hotel lobby, I came to believe that you have done a great deal of
good research,  John.  I was very rewarded by my decision to stay
and pick your brains after Walt walked away.

I am also writing this letter to remind you of your offer to send
me copies  of the legal briefs you mentioned during our conversa-
tion.  Enclosed are 20 FRN's to this end.

I am  slowly collecting  substantive papers  on the  questions of
federal jurisdiction,  the definitions  of "United States", their
implications for  Congressional taxing  powers and  statutes, and
their implications for the American economy in general.

It is  most intriguing,  for example,  that Alaska became a State
when it  was admitted  to the  Union, and  yet the  United States
Codes had to be changed because Alaska was defined in those Codes
as a  "state" before  admission to the Union, but not afterwards.
This apparent  anomaly is  perfectly clear  once  the  legal  and
deliberately misleading definition of "state" is understood.

Even though  my own  research has  only scratched  the surface of
this question,  I now  have ample  reasons to  believe  that  the
fluctuating definitions  of  "United  States"  in  Title  26  are
likewise intentional  and may  constitute the essential core of a
system of  deliberate legal  deception that was fastened upon our
entire nation by the year 1913.

Notably, Mr. Brushaber was identified in his court documents as a
New York  Citizen.    The  Union  Pacific  Railroad  Company  was
incorporated by  Congress.   Accordingly, Brushaber  was a  State
Citizen identified as a nonresident alien and taxed upon unearned
income that derived from a domestic corporation.  He was alien to
the jurisdiction  of the corporate United States, and nonresident
within that  jurisdiction because  he  resided  within  New  York
State.   He derived  income from  a domestic corporation, because

the Union  Pacific Railroad Company was incorporated by Congress,
i.e. in the District of Columbia.

If the  Union Pacific  Railroad Company had not been incorporated
by Congress,  it would  have been  a  foreign  corporation  (i.e.
foreign to  the federal,  corporate United States).  If Brushaber
had resided  in the District of Columbia or in some other federal
enclave or  possession under  exclusive jurisdiction of Congress,
he would  have been a resident alien.  If he had been born inside
this exclusive  jurisdiction, or  if he  had been naturalized, he
would have been a United States citizen, not an alien, regardless
of  where  he  resided.    Note  that  I  have  been  careful  to
distinguish a  "United States  citizen" from  a "Citizen  of  the
United States";  the former is a person under the jurisdiction of
Congress, while the latter is not.

It is  quite stunning  how the  carefully crafted  definitions of
"United States"  do appear  to unlock a horribly complex statute,
and also  expose perhaps  the greatest fiscal fraud that has ever
been perpetrated  upon any  people at  any time in the history of
the world.

I will anxiously look forward to receiving the legal papers which
we discussed in Denver.

Thanks very much, John, for your significant contributions to our
important and difficult search for the truth in this matter.


Sincerely yours,
