Declaration of independence

---

Before I get into anything here I first want to say that if you call me a conspiracy theorist then I will to the fullest extent of my ability tear your blatantly ignorant statement to shreds with the huge amount of US codes and UCC laws that prove everything and more regarding what I'm going to say here. Hopefully you will learn something and you can join me in this adventure of enjoying and exercising your god given freedoms that you are entitled to rather than be part of the unthinking machine and enemy of the people and an enemy of freedom. If you choose to continue to disregard the facts that I share with you then I wish you the best of luck in life and know that this isn't for you.

I was born on the land of New York, which is one of the sovereign states that make up the united States of America.

I am a national of New York. I've declared my status as a state national of the state of New Jersey.  I claim my exemptions as stated in Federal Code 8 USC 1101 (a) 21. 

I, am a separate entity from JOSEPH MICHAEL LUSTICA and also JOSEPH M LUSTICA and any other trust or corporation created using my name. My name "JOSEPH MICHAEL LUSTICA" is the only variation of my name that I accept for my trust of which I am an agent for.

I, joseph-michael: of the House Lustica, a living man above the age of 21, a National of New York, of sound body and mind, do affirm and declare that I responsibly exercise my right to bear arms as a peaceful private LIVING American. In fulfilling my duty to uphold the public law and keep the peace (and prevent criminals from spoiling all my fun), I will utilize weapons through visible OR concealed carry AS IS APPROPRIATE. The Constitution is a putting of God's word into paper and my right to bear arms is not contingent or based upon a piece of paper, it is based on my bond with God. I do not recognize a human's interpretation of the law of God and the Constitution is not what “gives me the right" to bear arms. 

Anyone detaining me for any situation that does not violate Common Law will be liened if I believe it is the right thing to do (unless of course I am operating in a strictly commercial situation and the situation fits within the UCC).

I am not a sovereign citizen and I do not fit into that category of sovereign citizen as there is no actual status understood or recognized in the United States of America as a "sovereign citizen". By definition alone a citizen is one who is a subordinate to someone else. So the phrase "sovereign citizen" is a misnomer. As one cannot be sovereign and be a subject at the same time. 

I am not a “person” or a trust, I am a living spiritual entity inhabiting a body. I am not a “resident” or “citizen.” My mail is marked as non-domestic and I will be using the 4-corners rule on the ZIP code. When I send mail it is most likely being sent from a location in the 50 states (I have never been in Washington D.C. so I do not imagine I will ever be sending mail from there. If I do then it will be marked on the mail.)

I am a “non-resident alien” and I am a FOREIGN ENTITY to the federal government. I am mostly operating in the trust jurisdiction and partaking in ecclesiastical activities. I am a highly-trained religious counselor/supervisor with many years of experience under my belt training others to be spiritual counselors and helping others make their life better, happier and more fulfilled using the religious texts from my church, so I am not “hiding behind God" in an attempt to avoid the law. I am legitimately a Godly man and a majority of my life is consumed by helping others and doing God's work. I volunteered at my church 7 days a week for a decade without missing more than a handful of days. My trust is simply a bond with God.

I do not reside in “United States,” and my status obtains its exclusive legislative authority and jurisdiction from Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17 and Article 4, Section 3, Clause 2, of the Constitution for the United States of America.

I am an alien to so-called “14th Amendment United States citizen” and non-resident to so-called “Amendment State Residency.” I am a “non-resident alien” in respect to both. I am an “American Inhabitant.”

The Internal Revenue Code (Title 26, United States Code) and associated federal regulations, clearly and thoroughly make provision for Americans born and living within one of the 50 Sovereign States of America. 26 CFR 1.871-4 section a - covers what evidences prove that an alien has acquired residence. Section b states that an alien, by reason of his alienage, is presumed to be a nonresident alien (of which I am).

I was not born or naturalized in the “United States,” so I am not a “citizen of the United States” nor a “United States citizen,” as those terms are defined and used within the Internal Revenue Code (26 USC) and/or Title 27 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

26 CFR 1.1-1 covers who exactly is a citizen. I am not a citizen. I’m not a “United States citizen living abroad.” I am not a “resident alien residing within the geographical boundaries of the United States.” I am not a “United States person,” a “domestic corporation,” “estate,” “trust,” “fiduciary,” or “partnership.” I am not an “officer,” “employee,” or “elected official” of the “United States” or a “State” or of any political subdivision thereof, nor of the District of Columbia, nor of any agency or instrumentality of one or more of the foregoing, not an “officer” of a “United States corporation,” as those terms are defined and used within the Internal Revenue Code (26 USC) and/or Title 27 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

I receive no “income with respect to employment” from any sources within the territorial jurisdiction of the “United States” and I don’t have an “office or other fixed place of business” within the “United States” from which I derive any “income” or “wages.”

I have never engaged in the conduct of a “trade” or “business” within the “United States,” nor do I receive any “income” or other remuneration effectively connected with the conduct of a “trade” or “business” within the “United States,” as those terms are defined and used within the Internal Revenue Code (26 USC) and/or Title 27 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
 

All remuneration paid to me is for services rendered outside (without) the exclusive territorial, political and legislative jurisdiction and authority of the “United States.”

I’ve never had an “office” or “place of business” within the “United States,” as those terms are defined and used within the Internal Revenue Code (26 USC) and/or Title 27 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

I’ve never been a “United States employee,” nor “employer,” nor “employee” which also includes but is not limited to an “employee” and/or “employer” for a “United States household,” and/or “agricultural” activity, as those terms are defined and used within the Internal Revenue Code (26 USC) and/or Title 27 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

I’ve never been involved in commerce within the territorial jurisdiction of the “United States” involving “alcohol,” “tobacco” and “firearms” and Title 16, Subtitle D and E excises and privileged occupations, as those terms are defined and used within the Internal Revenue Code (26 USC) and/or Title 27 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

I have never been a “United States” “withholding agent” as those terms are defined and used within the Internal Revenue Code (26 USC) and/or Title 27 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

I have no liability for any type, kind, or class of Federal Income Tax in past years, and I was and am entitled to a full and complete refund of any amounts withheld, because any liability asserted and amounts withheld were premised upon a mutual mistake or facts regarding my status.

I’ve never knowingly, intentionally, and voluntarily changed my Citizenship status nor have I ever knowingly, intentionally, and voluntarily elected to be treated as a “resident” of the “United States.”

I, to the best of my knowledge, owe no “tax” of any type, class or kind to the “United States,” as those terms are defined and used within the Internal Revenue Code (26 USC) and/or Title 27 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

I have never, by means or knowingly intelligent acts done with sufficient awareness of the relevant circumstances and consequences (Brandy v. US, 397 US 742, 748 (1970)), agreed or consented to be given a federal Social Security Number (SSN), same said as to a federal Employee Identification Number (EIN) and therefore waives and releases from liability the “United States” and any State of the Union of 50 States, for any present or future benefits that I may be entitled to claim under the Old-Age Survivors and the Disability Insurance Act and/or the Federal Unemployment tax Act, which are and remain in force with respect to the artificial corporate entity established in my upper-case name.

I am not “within the United States” but lawfully am “without the United States” (per Title 28, USC, Section 1746, Subsection 1), and therefore I have no standing capacity to sign any tax form which displays the perjury clause pursuant to Title 28, Section 1746, Subsection 2.

IMPORTANT NOTE: At no time will I construe any of the foregoing terms defined within the Internal Revenue Code, Title 16, United States Code, or within any of the other United State Codes, in a metaphorical sense. When terms are not words of art and are explicitly defined within the Code and/or within a Statute, I rely at all times upon the clear language of the terms as they are defined therein; no more and no less.

”When aid to construction of the meaning of words, as used in the statute, is available, there certainly can be no “rule of law” which forbids its use however clear the words may appear on “superficial examination.”” United States v. American Trucking Association, 310 US 534, 543, 533 (1939).

I do get that it’s ONLY my responsibility to research my own rights and to use them.

I get that the registration of voting links me to being a “US citizen” and I have never voted before nor am registered to vote. I will NOT be voting in state or federal elections and I openly denounce being a part of that system. I have also updated my “driver's license”with the fact that I am not a “US citizen.”

I do not make “income” and I do not operate in “commerce” constantly (I’m doing commerce when I’m doing commerce and I’m not doing commerce when I’m not. Sad that this even has to be said). I do not need the “help” of the “court systems,” etc. I will not be doing any jury duty in tribunals and will only be doing Grand Jury work in the capacity of Common Law.

Federal Reserve Notes are not money, by definition… they are NOTES. If I have any in my possession it is private property… not “money” or “income” or any other manufactured idea labeled on me based on me being a volunteer employee of the federal government. None of it is “privileged” either.

I am not a “volunteer employee of the federal government.” The “federal government” is a private for-profit organization ACTING as though it is government and I will have no part of that. In fact, I am severing ALL ties (legally and lawfully) and connections I have to this organization and my power to install true government in Common Law is exactly what I am doing. I have not knowingly entered into any valid agreements of “voluntary servitude.” The future is one of God's rule, Common Law, etc.

I affirm under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of American that I have executed the foregoing to the purpose and considerations herein expressed, in the capacity stated, and that the statements contained herein are true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief.

Signed in the capacity of a Principal; sui juris, in propria persona executed WITHOUT the “United States” as defined in 26 USC 7408(d):
