An affidavit of obligation is usually referred to by the simpler term lien especia lly when a monetary claim is made in the affidavit. However, sometimes a lien must be satisfied by supplying specific performance or some other thing of value instead of money, in which case money or some other p roperty might be temporarily demanded as a secondary property until the ultimate specific performance or other thing of value demanded is fulfilled or provided, in which case the secondary property is referred to as a pledge. THE CORPORATE OR PUBLIC TRUST VEIL OF LIMITED LIABILITY AND JOB PERFORMANCE BOND ING The corporate or public trust (Municipal Corporate) veil of limited liability, a nd its bonding, protects and agent of a corporation or public trust (Municipal C orporation) only for acts of accident or non-premeditated negligence. Premeditat ed acts of negligence, failure to perform, violence, or injury are personal acts bearing personal liability not corporate acts, official acts, or bonded acts. When the charges against the public official in the Affidavit of Obligation (lie n) are criminal charges, Then the public official is not, and cannot be, protected: 1. by the veil of limited liability of the corporation for which he of she is an agent (official, or 2. by the corporate bond (or Official bond) on his or her official activities. CHOICE CRIMINAL OR COMMERCIAL When a public official is liened for a deliberate breach or violation of officia l duties, for example, for failure to fulfill an oath (contract) of public offic e such as by violation of that Public trust Contract Law known as the Constituti on for the united States, then the public official must either: 1. Stand on the U.S. constitutional 5th amendment right to remain silent and sub mit to a criminal prosecution within three months (90 days) to be vindicated or convicted thereby, of 2. thoroughly rebut the affidavit of obligation (affidavit of the lien) categori cally point-for-point in commerce by his of her own affidavit within three month s (90 days), and by recording the same at the County Recorders Office. PERSONAL DEFENSE MAY NOT BE TAX FINANCED Deliberate/Intentional Acts of negligence or injury committed outside of the lim its of the oath of office (contract) or the veil of limited liability of the cor poration of Public Trust (Municipal Corporation), or outside of the bonding for the office, the corporation, or the Public Trust, are acts which must be defende d by the person committing the acts, and this defense must be at the expense of the person, not at the expense of the Corporation, Public Trust, or public taxpa yer. ESCALATION OF PROCESS The use of public tax monies to defend the antisocial personal behavior of the i ndividual official is tax fraud, subject to further criminal charges being made, and commercial liens being established and presented for breach of public contr act (oath).
