I don't use a social security number or file tax forms. I am looking for a way to invest with cash or other funds that can be kept private. Most investments that I have looked at require a SS number to open an account. Thank you.

Not making any kind of moral judgement, just going to say I have known folks that have gone to court and lost big time over all kinds of arguments about why filing taxing is not legally required of them. Big mistake.
Similarly the laws that provide for the legitimate functioning of investment companies the protect their clients are financed by the income taxes that are paid when people DO properly file their taxes...

As a person who pays the taxes he is legally liable for (Federal, and WA does not have income tax), and gets about 28% taken out as a result, I find it reprehensible that you're asking a bunch of other people who (likely) do the same for advice on how to stash it away. So nope ... in fact, I'm halfway feeling that I'm morally obliged to report you to the IRS. Every time you post your IP address is recorded, and your name suggests you live in Montana. Bad move if you're trying to hide your identity. Not that the name matters ... your IP address is all you need to be traced to you these days.
May I suggest opening an account in the Caymans? Don't bother with Switzerland anymore, they're now the puppet of the US government after the crash. You can also try dealing drugs, that has huge potential savings, or you can be a safe house for drug runs up to Canada and the western US.
I won't bother on any halfway decent advice on you.

I knew some of them in Seattle, a group called the Pilot Connection. They were selling an 'untaxing' package for a couple grand or so. It was kind of like watching a three-card monte game, with a 'dupe' (obvious accomplice) there to ask the 'right' questions and others to testify to their successful 'untaxing.' They had a flag salute to the old 13-star flag, just to get people in the 'right' frame of mind. It was pretty obvious they were eventually going to get into serious trouble, and they did. I never went back.
Fact is, whether it's legal or not is irrelevant. The agency that decides what is legal is government, and government is not going to decide that people don't have to pay income tax (no matter what the law says or doesn't say), nor is government going to declare any aspect of its operation invalid. Why choose to lose the fight when you can choose to win? No human being would do that and neither would government.

There is none that is legal. Pick from the legal options, and pay your taxes like the rest of us.
If you're just interested in considering the practical effects of choosing not to "use a social security number or file tax forms", you might want to peruse the always entertaining web page on idiot legal arguments.
