2. The claim, in full

Acting on the theories carries real civil and criminal penalties

WITHDRAWN as OVER-BROAD for this register's standard, on the author's assessment of 2026-11-06, and NOT refuted at source. No pinpoint failed, no quotation was found wrong, no source was retracted. PAGE CLAIM LINE REMOVED FROM /sovereign-citizens ON 2026-11-06 in the same pass, as off-scope to that page's subject. This record therefore prints on no page. A BARE WITHDRAWN WOULD MISREPORT THE HISTORY: the claim was not tested and found wanting, it was judged too broad for this register to carry, and every pinpoint under it stands verified. WHAT WAS **NOT** DONE, recorded so a later reader does not infer it: the object was not deleted, the number was not reused or retired, the proof page was not removed, no source record was altered, and no relation on any other record was cut. PRIOR NOTE, KEPT IN FULL: Cited on: /sovereign-citizens. Entered 2026-10-18 by the SOVEREIGN CITIZENS block, tag NEW-SC28 (brief item H28). THE PAGE'S OWN GRADE LINE READS: "ESTABLISHED as observed and in positive law". Statute texts via Cornell LII (confirm on uscode.house.gov). IRS March 2022 edition per its introduction.

TRAC shows one §1521 prosecution in FY 2026 (rare in a given year; WORKING).

Source: none linked in the register

6. Why this grade

WITHDRAWN as OVER-BROAD for this register's standard, on the author's assessment of 2026-11-06, and NOT refuted at source. No pinpoint failed, no quotation was found wrong, no source was retracted. THE GRADE THIS REPLACES WAS ESTABLISHED, on this reasoning, kept because the withdrawal does not retract it: "ESTABLISHED as observed and in positive law"

The register defines ~~WITHDRAWN~~ as: The entry was withdrawn on evidentiary review with nothing replacing it; retained on the record rather than deleted.

7. Correction history

2026-10-18: The SOVEREIGN CITIZENS amendment, item AH28A — Written by the main block as NEW-SC28, then amended by the amendment block in the same pass. The write-then-amend order is deliberate: the amendment is a separate authorial act and the record's history shows it. Fields changed: Grade.
2026-11-06: Withdrawn as over-broad; page claim line removed — WITHDRAWN as OVER-BROAD for this register's standard, on the author's assessment of 2026-11-06, and NOT refuted at source. No pinpoint failed, no quotation was found wrong, no source was retracted. The claim line came off /sovereign-citizens in the same pass. The record, its number, its proof page, its sources and its relations are all retained.
2026-11-06: Status set to WITHDRAWN — Set to match HSRP-617, the closest precedent, which carries WITHDRAWN as both grade and status. The reason is unchanged and unchanged in kind: over-broad for this register's standard on the author's assessment of 2026-11-06, and NOT refuted at source.
