article 468. The Clearfield Doctrine was handmade to ratchet open their throats on this issue and basically says that when a government descends to the level of a commercial corporation and operates as such, it is owed no sovereignty and has no special rights or indemnities. It is subject to all the same rules and limits as any other commercial corporation.
If you can’t be tried by the JC PENNY CORPORATION COURT, neither can you be tried by the DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA MUNICIPAL CORPORATION DISTRICT COURT. That’s your immunity from prosecution in a nutshell, so pay attention.
article 1003. And while people are at it, they can look up the Clearfield Doctrine, which very clearly enunciates the principle of the law which says that when a government steps down and functions in the capacity of a corporation, it is subject to all the same limitations as any other corporation.
article 1012. The Clearfield Doctrine (which Larry probably can’t find, either) arises from a 1943 Supreme Court Case, Clearfield Trust Co. v. United States, 318 US 363-371.
The essence of the case is that when an incorporated government uses private bank script as its currency it sinks to the level of any other incorporated entity, loses its sovereign status (if it ever had any) and becomes subject to the same laws as any other corporation.
You can look up the actual case to your heart’s delight, but it is also reprised in CJS, as I was kindly reminded tonight by a friend:
Corpus Juris Secundum (CJS) 91 CJS United States sec. 4
“…when the United States enters into commercial business it abandons its sovereign capacity and is to be treated like any other corporation.”
The Clearfield Doctrine strips these pretenders of their “government” cloak and when they attempt to use the abusive powers of government to enrich themselves, it’s time to remind them of exactly who and what they are.
This can be used against them in any number of contexts.
They claim to have a commercial interest in your marriage and children? Prove it.
They claim to have a commercial interest in your home and land? Prove it.
They claim to have a commercial interest in your estate? Prove it.
They have a right to tax you for anything? Income? Property? Prove it.
They’re not the government and they don’t have any special government powers when they are operating as commercial corporations. Instead, they are subject to all the same regulations and limitations as any other corporation — including the requirement that they operate lawfully — not “legally,” lawfully.
If you are standing on the land and soil jurisdiction of this country neither they nor their courts have any excuse for even addressing you, and if you are operating as a private American “vessel” conducting international trade and not allowing yourself to be misrepresented as a federal franchise PERSON, they are obligated to protect you and dismiss any action against you.
Use the Clearfield Doctrine to expose their feet of clay and then stomp on them, assuming that you have completed your own due diligence and re-conveyed your Trade Name and Assumed
NAMES to their permanent domicile on the land and soil jurisdiction of this country, they have no right to trespass upon you or presume the existence of any contract with you.
Use the Clearfield Doctrine and object the moment any of these jokers contact you.
Remember that a “Summons” from a court of foreign jurisdiction is a solicitation for business that you can object to and deny with the same impunity that you would reject a proposal to sell you twenty tons of cheap pizza.

Clearfield Trust Co. v. United States 318 U.S. 363-371 (1942)
What the Clearfield Doctrine is saying is that when private commercial paper is used by corporate government, then Government loses its sovereignty status and becomes no different than a mere private corporation.
As such, government then becomes bound by the rules and laws that govern private corporations which means that if they intend to compel an individual to some specific performance based upon its corporate statutes or corporation rules, then the government, like any private corporation, must be the holder- in-due-course of a contract or other commercial agreement between it and the one upon whom demands for specific performance are made.
And further, the government must be willing to enter the contractor commercial agreement into evidence before trying to get to the court to enforce its demands, called statutes.
This case is very important because it is a 1942 case after the Erie RR v. Tomkins 304 U.S. 64, (1938) case in which the Legislatures and Judiciary changed from legislating under “Public Law”, which was in consonance with the Constitution, to legislating under “Public Policy” according to the wishes of the “Creditors of the US Corporation”.
Bond vs. UNITED STATES, 529 US 334 – 2000, The Supreme Court held that the American People are in fact Sovereign and not the States or the Government. The court went on to define that local, state and federal law enforcement officers were committing unlawful actions against the Sovereign People by the enforcement of the laws and are personally liable for their actions.
“Governments descend to the Level of a mere private corporation, and take on the characteristics of a mere private citizen…where private corporate commercial paper [Federal Reserve Notes] and securities [checks] is concerned. … For purposes of suit, such corporations and individuals are regarded as entities entirely separate from government.”
