How Your SSN Contracts You Into Federal Slavery Without Your Knowledge or Consent
1. The Social Security System Is Not What You Think
Most Americans believe that the Social Security Number (SSN) is simply a retirement account identifier. In truth, it is the foundation of the federal control matrix—a tracking number that binds you into the status of a 14th Amendment citizen and corporate debtor.
The Social Security Act of 1935 created more than a benefits program. It created an entire contractual infrastructure designed to:
- Register you as a corporate entity;
- Tie you to a trust account managed by the federal government;
- Place you under the jurisdiction of administrative law.
“Participation in the Social Security system is voluntary.” — Flemming v. Nestor, 363 U.S. 603 (1960)
Yes, voluntary—but never disclosed as such. That’s the fraud.
2. Birth Certificates and the Creation of the Strawman Trust
From birth, your identity is co-opted:
- Your birth certificate is used to create a corporate fiction (a legal person);
- That entity is assigned a number (SSN);
- That number is then linked to a trust account that the government borrows against.
The name in all capital letters (e.g., JOHN DOE) represents that fiction. You, the living man or woman, are then presumed to be the trustee and surety for this account.
“The individual, except the sovereign, is treated as an artificial person.” — Wheeling Steel Corp. v. Glander, 337 U.S. 562 (1949)
3. The Social Security Number Is a Contractual Adhesion Tool
Once you apply for and use the SSN:
- You declare yourself a U.S. citizen (14th Amendment);
- You agree to the terms of the trust—with no disclosure;
- You surrender common law protections and consent to statutory control.
“The application for Social Security… establishes a contractual relationship.” — SSA Program Operations Manual System (POMS)
4. The SSN Is Tied to the International Monetary Fund
Yes, the number connects to a foreign debt trust. The U.S. government uses the SSN to:
- Collateralize your labor as a security;
- Issue bonds and trade your value on global markets;
- Collect revenue on your productivity without your knowledge.
Your legal name, SSN, and all related identifiers are treated as commercial assets.
Search Dun & Bradstreet and look up the Social Security Administration—you’ll find a D-U-N-S number, proof that it’s operating as a private corporate entity.
5. You Never Had Full Disclosure or True Consent
Key legal doctrine:
“Contracts made without full disclosure and informed consent are void for fraud.” — Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife, 504 U.S. 555 (1992)
You were never told:
- That signing the SS-5 form created a federal trust account;
- That it established a surety relationship with a corporate fiction;
- That it bound you to administrative statutory law instead of constitutional protection.
6. How the System Uses the SSN Against You
With this number, the federal system can:
- Enforce tax collection;
- Prosecute code violations;
- Issue licenses and fines;
- Deny rights based on agency policy.
Because you “volunteered,” they assume:
- You’re a consenting U.S. citizen;
- You’ve waived state sovereignty;
- You accept all administrative law enforcement.
7. The Social Security “Trust Fund” Doesn’t Exist
“There are no accrued property rights in a Social Security account.” — Flemming v. Nestor, 363 U.S. 603 (1960)
That case destroyed the idea that Social Security is a protected, individual retirement account. It’s not. It’s a general revenue scheme used to:
- Fund congressional spending;
- Inflate the money supply;
- Finance corporate operations of the U.S. government, Inc.
You have no legal claim to any benefits unless Congress says so.
8. What You Can Do to Exit the Fraud
To lawfully exit the Social Security system:
- File a Revocation of SS-5 Application – Declare your intent to cancel the contract;
- Affidavit of Status Correction – Clarify you are not a 14th Amendment citizen;
- Non-Consent Notice – Inform SSA and other agencies that your use of the number was not fully informed;
- Record these documents publicly and serve via certified mail.
“The right to contract is protected, but the right to not contract is equally sacred.” — Lyon v. Pollard, 87 U.S. 403 (1874)
9. Common Law vs. Administrative Law: Your Legal Identity Matters
If you are identified by the SSN, you are in:
- Corporate jurisdiction;
- Administrative courts;
- Color-of-law enforcement.
If you declare your status properly and withdraw from the number:
- You return to common law;
- Courts must prove jurisdiction;
- Agencies lose power over you.
10. Final Proof the SSA Is a Private Trust Tool
The SSA is:
- Listed in Dun & Bradstreet as a corporate entity;
- Not created by an actual Act of Congress under Article I authority;
- A revenue-collection conduit, not a protective trust.
You can find proof of its status in government registry databases and through the Social Security Administration’s own documentation.
Conclusion: Stop Being the Collateral
The SSN is not protection—it is enslavement by presumption. It’s not a right—it’s a contract. It’s not secure—it’s a trap.
Exit the system. Reclaim your status. Refuse the trust.
The moment you revoke consent, the numbers lose power. They need you to be the surety. Without your agreement, their entire scheme collapses.
