How To Sign Your Name Without Assuming Liability.

(Before It's News)

signingcontractWhat 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.

  • Oh I see how it works,.. you spread disinformation and DELETE posts that show you to be a fraud!! pretty nifty trick!

    The correct term to use instead of the LIES posted in the above article is

    Black’s law 4th edition, page 1743
    VIS COMPULSIVA. In the civil and old English
    law. Compulsive force; that which is exerted to
    compel another to do an act against his will;
    force exerted by menaces or terror.

    • fyi, i’ll keep showing your article to be lies and i’ll keep posting the proper term!

  • SO get this, I go to the PHILOSOPHERS STONE website about the above LIE! I post the information that they did not show due diligence in their COPY AND PASTE post.
