A word or two about a thing or two

How To Sign Your Name Without Assuming Liability.

What does a signature mean? I will tell you right now that when you sign something (no matter what
“they” say), it means that you accept liability. And if you don’t read and agree to EVERYTHING you sign,
you are making a big mistake.

I am constantly being asked… “How do I sign my name? … AND maintain my rights?”

We all know that before they let us go, they ALWAYS want us to sign something to keep us coming back.
There are other points in the “legal” system where a “signature” is expected or required before the court
can proceed as well.

I have heard that adding “Under Duress”, or “All Rights Reserved” to a signature when signing a
document will maintain our inherent human rights; and while this could work as well, the proper and
Latin way to sign under duress is to add a “V.C.” before your name.

Vi Coactus, abbreviated to V.C., is a latin term. The website wikipedia cites the definition of vi coactus as:

“constrained by force”. Used when forced to sign (“or else …”)

Perhaps the most famous use of vi coactus when signing a document was that of Cornelius de Witt.
Alexandre Dumas captured the event as follows:

The Grand Pensionary bowed before the will of his fellow citizens; Cornelius de Witt, however, was more
obstinate, and notwithstanding all the threats of death from the Orangist rabble, who besieged him in his
house at Dort, he stoutly refused to sign the act by which the office of Stadtholder was restored. Moved by
the tears and entreaties of his wife, he at last complied, only adding to his signature the two letters V. C. (Vi
Coactus), notifying thereby that he only yielded to force.

There is scant authoritative information regarding this term on the web. However, on the One Heaven
Society of United Free States of Spirits website the following information is provided:

The Bar want you to sign as surety

At key points in a Court case, the Bar members want you to sign certain documents. Why? Because your
signature is like your vocalized consent – it can be legally interpreted as your agreement to be surety for an
obligation and to perform as well as to waive other rights.  

Do you have to sign? No you don’t. But in many cases, the Bar has designed a system so that if you don’t it is
interpreted as dishonor so that they can invoke their power of attorney powers to declare you delinquent,
incompetent and send you to prison anyway.  

This is why you may have heard of people who refused to sign the papers when entering prison and yet were
treated worse than most serious criminals, with complete apparent ignorance of their rights- why? because
the system is designed at certain points where you MUST sign. So how do you overcome an unjust and unfair
system that forces a man or woman to sign under duress, against their will and yet interprets such
signatures as valid under Canon Law? The answer is making sure you signature follows a clear mark of
duress.

Vi Coactus

Before you sign anything under duress, in order not to be unfairly determined as in dishonor and
incompetent, you may lawfully initial in large letters the letters V.C. where you will sign, then sign your
name after- always after.

What V.C. stands for is Latin for Vi Coactus which means literally “under constraint”. This should normally
be sufficient on any document which you are forced to sign to bear witness to the fact that it was done under
duress.

Now, at the earliest opportunity before the court or official, you can make it known that upon review of your
signature it can be proven to have been forced under threat and coercion and so cannot be used as legally
binding agreement.

In some locations and in some prisons as this knowledge grows, it is possible that law enforcement officials
may start to reject such signatures, adding more threat and force on a person to sign without using V.C. It is
your choice remembering that if you allow such criminal intimidation and torture to prevail and do sign
without protest then the system can simply lie and state you made such a sign of your “own free will”.

So if they tear up the paperwork and demand you do it again, stating that such a signature is unlawful then
such claims are against the laws of the Roman Cult Canon Law- the actual law that underpins their own
statutes and regulations. However, if after several attempts they still refuse, there is a second method
equally valid- the use of ellipse.

The use of ellipses

When the threat of intimidation or outright rejection of lawful protest is too great, then a second and equally
valid method of signing under protest is permitted, namely the use of three full stops placed first, followed by
the signature so that the three dots are not obscured by the signature.

This is called an ellipsis eg “…” and indicates that legally there was a form of words you wanted to state but
were unable due to some event, in this case because of threat and coercion.
Thus, at the earliest opportunity the ellipsis can be revealed and it can be stated that you intended to write
V.C. but were prevented therefore nullifying any agreement.

It would be of interest to the author if there have been any more recent cases where V.C. has been used to
sign a document. There appears to have been a case in Indonesia where Dutch interests signed V.C.,
however, the author does not have full access to the journal in question:

Authority” or “o.p.” (under protest) or “v.c.” (vi coactus). And that, of course , was preciously what it was:

Useful knowledge NT.

Remember the phrase “without prejudice” can also be helpful in disputes. It allows you to offer a compromise in a dispute but
without admitting liability or allowing your offer to be interpretted as an admission of fault.

Quite correct Woodsy and let us not also forget under duress. But I like the sound of VC asn those attempting to get you to
sign a document will probably not know what it means and might think it is just initials! However anyone who is legally
trained will certainly know what it means.

Many thanks for your input.

Good to see you here David. As you know, sometimes you find humour here, nonsense here but every now and then we do

I’d like to add “coactus feci” (“I did it unter duress.”

Wikipedia has a German entry only:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coactus_feci
Google translate would be of help for those who do not understand German.
Keep up the good work and best wishes from Germany!

It is also possible to write “without recourse UCC1-308.” You must familiarize yourself with the UCC section, since if asked and you
can”t explain it, the judge can try to ignore it. It is worth the research. Also, you write under your signature, “Authorized
Representative,” which indicates that you are a living, breathing Human, and the representative of the “straw man” account they
are trying to levy, and not actually that person. A living being is not a person by government definition, but rather a fictitious
business, created with your Birth Certificate.

With any contract one of the elements required is competence.

Competence, also called legal capacity, is a party’s ability to enter into a contract. The most common reason for
incompetence is age. A party must be at least 18 years old to enter into a contract. If a minor signs a contract, she has the
right to cancel it. Another reason for incapacity is mental illness. A person incapacitated by a disease or disability, who does
not understand the terms of a contract he entered, has the right to rescind his acceptance of an offer, voiding the contract.
Lastly, a person under the influence of drugs or alcohol may be considered incompetent if the other party knew or
should have known that the person’s impairment affected his ability to understand and freely consent to the
contract.

No mate it says three . . . before your name

The definition of your signature is: 1) Your knowledge of the contract; 2) Understanding of the contract; and 3) Your
acceptance of the contract. If you do not have all those items, it is NOT your signature. Also it must be an ORIGINAL,
which means writing added after your signature was placed on the document VOIDS the contract as it is no longer
the same contract.

Greetings! I am very happy I stumbled upon this website! Been aware for long while now; learning about circumnavigating through
the legal bullshit and what is actually, true law.
Anyhow; I have a question – I’m about to get a drivers license (unless you can tell me an alternative way to obtaining license in
OZ/crown colony? better yet how do I reclaim sovereignty? so much misinfo out there) , and they require my signature – obviously
its a contract to state/federal rules/regulations…
So simply put, how should I sign the document/ contract (without obligation)?
Just use O.P. or V.C.?

Thanks!!

This is neat!! Up until I read this article, I had been adding “Without Prejudice U.C.C. 1-308” above, under or beside my signature.
V.C. sure is better IMHO. …..the three full stops (ellipsis) is yet another whammy to tyranny.
