CNN Get's 861 Right

...For Once!

In the article here

http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/wayoflife/04/15/famous.tax/index.html

in mentioning Actor Wesley Snipes :

8. Wesley Snipes
In 2006, the famous actor was indicted on conspiracy charges that alleged he falsified past tax returns. (He claimed he was due a refund of nearly $12 million.) The government alleges that Snipes claimed the refunds using the "861 argument," which states not all income is taxable. They also accused him of failing to file tax returns from 1999 to 2004.
He went to court earlier this year and was acquitted of the major conspiracy charge, but the court found him guilty of the three lesser misdemeanor charges for failing to file his tax returns. He faces up to three years in prison and will be sentenced on April 24 of this year.

CNN Got it completely correct!!!!!

Amazing how they simply stated "The government alleges that Snipes claimed the refunds using the "861 argument," which states not all income is taxable."

This is prcisely the fact, as even the first seven words of Section 61 states that not all income is gross income, as it is subject to ever exclusionary provision of Subtitile A; Except as otherwise provided in Subtitle A, gross income is....

Section 861 is in Subtitle A. So would that be something for discussion, argument, and even consideration in the jury that convicted Wesley Snipes?

Not if there is no exemption clause in section 861.

Well is there one?

The judge asked me that and I said not in the statutes, but in the regulations there is, and the Tax Court citing the U.S. SUpreme COurt stated that since the section 861 Regulations had not been significantly altered in well over 50 years that they were deemed law.

Did the Judge discuss this in his ruling against me?

Did the jury deliberate this in Wesley Snipes case?

Was this point of the law allowed to be brought up as Wesley Snipes good fith effort that was stimed by the government ignoring the law and acting criminally which then lead to his desperate efforts to protect his property/money?

I doubt it.

Still, Section 61 says not all income is gross income. Since section 63 defines taxable income as reliant upon the defeinition of gross income section 61, then IN FACT not all income is taxable, as taxable income does not include income exempted by Subtitle A.

So WOW! CNN told the truth. The law is clear. Not all income is taxable income because not all income is inculded in gross income.

One did not need to read section 861 to know this.

So why then do the IRS, judges, and juries not look at the law, like 861 which defines U.S. Sources subject to the income tax, when they are raised as a defense?

Why is the law not a defense?

Answer Number one: The IRS and Judges say any discussion of section 861 by U.S. Citizens is frivolous. Even though the case of Chevron v. Commissioner was about a U.S. Corporation which argued 861 regualtions, and the court held it binding for determining exempt income as well as source, and held the regualtions to be law since they had been effectively unlaters since at least the 1920's.

Answer Number Two: Because the Juries are lead to believe that it is ludicrious for any sane person to believe that not all income is taxable income, so that the jury does not investigate the law and find out what it really says.

Answer Number 3: The United States Department of Justice is instituting a New Project that labels anyone who questions its determinations of law to be a 'Tax Denier'. That is like a Holocaust Denier in Europe, who can be subject to criminal prosecution for speaking. Here will be like there. You can believe anything that you like, as long as you do not speak or publish your thoughts.

This is the present circumstance of Freedom, under a government that is supposed to be accountable to the People, who are supposed to enjoy, not endeavor through pitfalls of danger but enjoy, a free marketplace of ideas.

Is this Justice?

Is this the America that our girls and boys are dying for?

Is such Justice worth dying for? Now remember, this is the same Justice that had three forms of audio.video realtime evidence that the Marines at Haditha did not violate rules of engagement, but the Pentagon has moved forward to destroy these young people anyway.

Does such Justice deserve to prevail over a foreign enemy attacking the essence of our nation, which is ultimately our system of Justice?

I have answered that question. Most people never will.

It is too scary.

So what do the section 861 regualtions say that is so terrifying that the Department of Justice, U.S. Supreme Court, and the Lower Courts will lie and violate Human Rights in order to silence it?

I cannot tell you, because I have been federally enjoined from speaking.

But there are others....... 861.info whatistaxed.com

So now they are after Reverend Al;

http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/05/10/sharpton.taxes.ap/index.html

So what do Reverend Al and Wesley Snipes have in common?

Both took a stand regarding the Rights of individuals in the face of big government.

Both are Black.

Mr. Snipes used the legal argument broken to the Public by me at NITE.ORG.

Rev. Al...I used to be his Lawn Boy.

10 Ways YOU Can Fight Fascism Around the World

2008-02-13T14:35:00.000-08:00

This is the best guide I can offer for proactive, prolonged, independent and effective resistance against the overwhelming direction towards greater warfare, poverty, and fascist control we see around the world in 2007.

I was asked by a weirdo I have a lot of respect for to write on this specific subject. I want this article to be as useful as possible, so I’m just going to lay things on the table as quickly and as clearly as I can.

Let’s begin by shaking off bad language—we tend to discuss politics using old metaphors, which are useless today and actually make understanding the problem more difficult. There is no Left and Right, there is no “inside the system” because none of us are “outside” of it, there is no change “from the bottom up” because there is no “top” to bring the change to.

We find ourselves up against an entrenched power structure composed of a relatively very small group of wealthy elites. They seldom rule directly or even visibly, and maintain their power through building huge armed bureacracies who enforce power for them. The global power structure is a decentralized, constantly shifting network of organized crime and national control systems, representing many different races, nationalities, religious dogmas and cultures.

However, there are common threads in all systems of social control: They do not have a sense of humor, they are bitterly opposed to Art, and they are unable to handle bizarre and confusing situations. These systems are built upon enforcing conformity, turning nature into consumer goods, and controlling information. These systems require enemies and they create criminals.

Because of these common threads, these systems all have common weakness that we have the power to exploit to incredible effect. If you take nothing else away from this, please remember: you are exponentially more powerful than you think you are.

The simplest summation of the overall strategy I propose is this:

1. Destabilize Existing Structure

2. Minimize Destructive Backlash

3. Establish Robust Communication

To this end, I propose 10 steps which form a conceptual toolkit. Perhaps that’s a euphemism for “disorganized pile of shit,” but I feel strongly that these are all relevant and useful:

1. Practice is repetition is preparation is power.

Can you win a fight? Can you control a situation enough to escape? Can you outrun police? I’m not saying you need to be able to knock someone out like Brad Pitt, but I am saying self-defense is a core life skill. Without it, you’re not effective. I recommend Aikido and Tai Chi to all living humans, unconditionally.

Establish meaningful and beneficial routines. Our culture is a constant pulse of imposed rhythms and rituals that we need to actively fight against to maintain clarity and effectiveness. Learning any skill set is amazingly simple: learn about it, then try it out until you get it. That iron-clad formula will guide you through anything, from juggling to fellatio to meditation.

2. Create situations that cannot be controlled.

I don’t propose that because it’s punk rock, but because I believe it’s a solid strategy. Ideally, in any confrontation, you want control of the situation. However, we’re talking about us, you and me as individuals, taking on the global power structure of Earth in 2007 for control of our planet. We are not in control of the situation, it is dumb to assume we could be. So go for the next best thing—be totally unpredictable, escalate chaos and noise, and create a situation that nobody could possibly control.

This is basically an unspoken bet with your opponent: “I am giving up control of this situation because I am faster, smarter and stronger than you.” Embrace chaos and leverage chaos, because what cannot be predicted cannot be controlled. Only a lawyer would pretend otherwise.

3. Do not allow yourself to be controlled by situations.

What do you do if someone puts a loaded gun in your face? Sure, that’s a heavy situation, but do you panic? I propose you remain calm and ask the human with the gun what they want. There is never any reason to panic. Self-assembling nanotech hunter-destroyer clusters swarming thousands of feet high, raining down human blood and internal organs, is still not a valid reason to panic. Panic is helpless idiot fear. In high stakes situations, you need to be calm and focused.

Horrible and amazing things will happen in the next five years, but you’re going to survive and maintain, just like humans always do. You yourself should make peace with death. I mean that honestly, not being sarcastic or macabre—it’s important for psychological health to keep your death in perspective. Avoiding it always leads to complications, and as I will discuss later, denial of death has been shown to make people more suggestible, afraid, and prone to violence.

4. Seek information, avoid arguments.

The only person responsible for getting you trustworthy information is you. This involves a great deal of work. Am I seriously advocating that you spend hours a day just sitting around learning stuff? Absolutely yes, I am. The wonderful Jennifer Bowen introduced me to the phrase “good company is kept discussing good ideas—not people.”

The internet is insanely effective for rapidly accessing high volumes of high quality information. It’s also a great way to spend four hours checking your email, watching porn, or getting into pointless arguments with total strangers. We all have egos, we all get pissed off occasionally, but don’t do that online: get up immediately and use that anger to lift some free weights.

5. Seek predictive models, avoid explanatory models.

I propose that it’s more important to have a general sense of what’s coming up next, than to have a precise picture of what’s going on now. The global power structure is not a monolithic, static object: it is constantly shifting, and while we focus on one tentacle, seven more will be taking advantage of our ignorance. An accurate history of this power structure is far less valuable than knowing how they operate, and what their assumptions are.

Remember, we’re living on the same planet. No amount of secret insider knowledge will spare you the consequences of catastrophic storms, toxic pollution, solar and lunar cycles, space weather radiation, etc. The global power structure has to respond and adapt to the world it claims to control, use the cycles of nature against them.

This is a massive source of power that few activists seem to be aware of: for the past three centuries, governments, militaries and corporations have been waging a very literal War Against Nature, attempting to control what they cannot understand. Recent documents like the UK Ministry of Defense report “Global Trends 2007-2036” make it clear that those in power cannot predict the short-term consequences of worldwide toxic pollution. They are scrambling to prepare for a future crisis they cannot plan for. You can, though.

6. Become an autonomous cell.

Do you realize that most of what “intelligence analysts” do is just read through publicly available media and look for patterns? Are you familiar with the concept, technique and theory behind “asymmetric warfare?” What do you think military analysts mean when they predict a future of “constant low-intensity urban conflict?” Is it signifigant that the US government has a long track record of inflitrating, subverting and murdering counter-culture icons and revolutionary leaders?

As Peter J. Carroll observed in Psybermagick: “In practice the power of any conspiracy rises and falls in inverse proportion to the power of its internal conspiracies. Mutual guilt and bribery mainly hold together conspiracies whose ideologies command insufficient loyalty, but this makes them vulnerable.” Take advantage of your opponents paranoia, use their need for control against them.

Autonomy also implies economic freedom, good health, and secure access to food. Shelter can of course be communal and improvised—in many climates, shelter is barely nescessary most of the year. Although I’m essentially advocating that we take the Army recruiting slogan, “an army of one,” further than they themselves ever will, I’m not avocating turning your back on anyone. I’m advocating that you work for your community, independently and perhaps invisibly.

7. Don’t be a dickhead, and love thy neighbor.

It’s the only rational approach to life: do your best to be nice. By doing so, you make life easier for those around you, you reduce physical stress that wears on your own body, and you will often find yourself reaping rewards at random. Some people call this “karma,” other folks call this “emergent properties of complex networks.”

Be nice to your neighbors. Help them out for no reason, refuse to accept money for doing so. Partly because real charity is subversive these days. Also, in 2007, you do not want the cops called on you, period. You truly do the world a favor when you purge yourself of terms like “sheeple” and “the herd”—I’ve also learned, through hilarious personal experience, that referring to taxpaying citizens as “slaves” will never work out for you.

There is nothing wrong with being selfish, only being dumb. Dumb selfish people look for simple self-benefit, smart selfish people look for open-ended, mutually beneficial situations. If you can improve your community, you have also improved your personal power base and your chances for long-term success. That’s not “public service,” just science, math and common sense.

8. Invest in tools and share them subversively.

The old Industrial Revolution plan for social control was simple. Wealthy families owned all the “capital goods”—the machines and factories that make consumer goods. So they used that power to hire poor people to work for them, in exchange for being able to purchase some of the “consumer goods” they themselves made. Things have changed a lot in 2007, because the line between capital and consumer goods has blurred almost completely. You can launch a record label with about $5000 and be pressing your own CDs, for instance.

Technology is magick. I think that’s become clear enough to just leave that as a statement. We now have the tools for invisibility, weather control, human cloning and burning entire cities to the ground with a single missile. We will soon have the tools for universal translation, undoing one of Jehovah’s major curses as chronicled in Genesis 11. It’s vitally important that us fringe weirdos get ahold of all these amazing future toys before they get turned into future weapons against us.

Sharing is subversive. Communal access to important tools is subversive. Growth is a sign of a healthy economy, profit is a sign of a sick one. Break the profit cycle everywhere you can. Nobody will go pay for a service or tool when they can use an equally good one locally, for free. You would be amazed how low overhead can be when maintenance is your only expense. You would be amazed how well you can maintain tools and facilities if you’re willing to put in work.

9. Become a Beacon of Insane Hope

Yeah, perhaps I’m reaching with this one, but I mean it emphatically. There is no shortage of people telling me how fucked I am, but I’ve spent the better part of a year tracking down people who are talking about solutions, comparing technique, and putting in work towards something better. I want to talk to people about seed bombs, quantum microdots, urban farming, water purification, anything that can improve reality, here and now.

There’s strong evidence that fear and anger are actively used as tools of manipulation and social control: the White House spent $1.6 billion dollars in 2006 on “public relations.” This is a signal that needs to be counteracted, becacause based on psychology experiments, evoking the concept of death alters human perception. People become more dogmatic, nationalist and likely to support violence. This is based on the research of Sheldon Solomon, Jeff Greenberg, and Tom Pyszczynski, and you can find more information searching for the phrase “Terror Management Theory.”

I am not advocating violence to any extent. Perhaps this is the strangest concept in my toolbag, but for what it’s worth: violence is actually not your weapon. Sure, you can throw rocks at cops, shoot cops, and blow up police stations, but you’re actually not accomplishing anything. In fact, you’re doing Their Job for them, which is why undercover police officers around the world try to start riots at peaceful protests. Violence is not a weapon we can control, so it’s not a weapon we should use, either.

10. Please, be fearless.

The stakes are beautifully high, the enemy is unbelievably strong, the fight looks completely hopeless. It’s too perfect, it’s ridiculous. How can we be bored on a planet as deliciously dangerous and insane as Earth? I can only conclude that my entire generation is living inside an open-ended video game that we’ve been training for since birth without even realizing it.

So keep pushing, stay calm, eat healthy, seek novelty, breathe deeply, take risks, think slowly, move quickly, speak clearly, fight dirty, dream crazy and please, be fearless.

New LDAF Liberty Dollar + Brown Memorabilia Up for Auction

2008-02-01T06:27:00.000-08:00

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=250211151474
This is the THIRD piece we're selling. The first ONE DOLLAR certificate sold for $61, and the second for $150. This is the first of only 2 TWENTY DOLLAR certificates being sold.
You are bidding on the third piece of the Liberty Dollar Arrest Fund (LDAF) Private Collection to go on eBay. The collection consists of the 82 remaining Liberty Dollar pieces owned by Shaun and Svetlana Kranish – the last known arrestees of the Liberty Dollar. Shaun and Svetlana were arrested in May of this year, in Walworth, WI, for offering a solid silver Liberty medallion at an outdoor ice cream shop. According to Bernard von NotHaus, this was only the fourth time in the nearly 10-year history of the Liberty Dollar that a user/owner was arrested. Shaun and Lana are also friends of Ed & Elaine of the family Brown, the well-known and well-respected members of the tax honesty movement who recently went to federal prison for refusing to pay income taxes. Shaun is the close friend of Ed & Elaine who the feds tragically used without his knowledge to introduce to Ed & Elaine the infiltrator who lead to their kidnapping. This auction includes memorabilia from their home, and is part of an ongoing fundraiser for their legal defense. www.MakeTheStand.com for more info.

Mr. and Mrs. Kranish still face ongoing legal proceedings as well. For more information on this, you can visit http://www.LibertyDollarArrest.com. They have been working with Bernard on resolutions. Now, Bernard finds himself a victim of the government (or should we say bankers – I suppose the terms can be used interchangeably) and is likely to face criminal charges. As you probably know, the Liberty Dollar offices and warehouses were raided and all platinum, gold, silver, copper, and any other metals/materials, records, computers, you-name-it were taken by the so-called “authorities.” Despite running this honest business for nearly 10 years, the government waited until just recently to make its big move. This move also curiously came after Bernard and the Liberty Dollar sued the government for statements released about the Liberty Dollar.

The fact of the matter is that every American has been victimized by our dishonest monetary and banking system. The use of fiat currency – “money” created almost out of thin air – literally worth less than the paper on which it’s printed, has caused our dollar to lose nearly 97% of its buying power in the last 100 years. The trend is continuing, and even accelerating at this point. Each and every day, more “money,” in the form of digital ones and zeros mostly, is injected into our economy, causing the buying-power of the dollar to drop further, and bringing it closer and closer to extinction.

Article 1, Section 10 of the Constitution for the United States of America:
“No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts;”

Unfortunately for all of us, since we borrow our paper, fiat, scrip money from the private banking cartel – the Federal Reserve – we no longer own our wealth. The States have allowed the federal government to pass off its borrowed paper as payments for debts. We carry debt notes – IOUs – promissory notes – whatever you want to call them. We carry these instead of GOLD or SILVER certificates or coins that one can actually own. We’ve traded our national wealth of gold and silver for this paper – the bankers conned us out of our money!

These are some of the reasons the Liberty Dollar was founded, and some of the reasons why the Liberty Dollar will continue, no matter what actions the so-called government takes in opposition to the Constitution.

Included in this auction, LDAF private collection piece #4 of 82:
· One $20 denoted 2006 series Liberty Dollar silver certificate, F019018, 2(two) of 3(three)
· One “Fraudulent Event Note” from the home of Ed and Elaine of the family Brown, given to Shaun and Lana as a gift on July the Fourteenth, this year
· Certificate of Authenticity for both items, with the collection piece serial #4 of 82, silver certificate serial F019018, and 2(two) of 3(three) for the certificate as part of this collection
· Display certificate for both notes
· All enclosed in a high-quality metal display frame 8.5” x 11” with built-in stand for free-standing, also wall-mountable, soft velvet backing
· The satisfaction of helping good people and good causes while owning a piece of history

A limited number of the 82-piece LDAF Private Collection will be sold on eBay. This collection has been created to raise money for three parties: Mr. and Mrs. Kranish, Mr. and Mrs. Brown, and Mr. von NotHaus. A portion of the proceeds from this auction will go to each party for their respective legal defense against the bankers/government.

Shaun, Lana, and the others behind this collection are still working to help Ed & Elaine while they are in prison. They are working to raise money for ongoing legal defense, as well as money to help make Ed & Elaine comfortable while in prison. Elaine has also been using her very limited commissary money in prison to buy items for less fortunate inmates. At least one lawyer has been hired at this point to help Ed & Elaine. More legal work will be necessary to see that they get a fair trial and are released from prison.

Bernard von NotHaus has authorized this collection. The silver Liberty Dollar rounds/medallions will feature his arrest hallmark and the certificates of authenticity will feature his signature.

Numbers in the collection:
· 82 total pieces in the collection – 1 Liberty Dollar medallion or silver certificate per collection piece – 82 total Liberty Dollar products.
· 7 total “Fraudulent Event Notes” from Ed & Elaine’s house. The 7 notes have been paired with 7 of the 82 collection pieces – 7 collection pieces feature a FEN from Ed & Elaine’s house.
· There are 5 silver certificates. Likewise, there are 77 silver medallions or rounds.
· THIS eBay auction features one of the 5 silver certificates. Only 2 more will be sold on eBay. This is 1 of only 4 framed silver certificates that will be sold on eBay.
· Only a portion of the 82 collection pieces will be featured on eBay. The rest will be sold to and held by other private collectors

Granny Warriors Comment On NH Recount

Frozen out by Paypal

On January 16th, 2008 Granny Warrior says:

We had sent the money to the former attorney General in NH who was standing in the bank waiting for confirmation of the payment being on the way which it was. The money was removed from our account and by our thinking it was a done deal. a hour later we got a call that our chipin was not working. we checked and found the paypal account was locked. We have spent 5 hours providing all manner of verification to them about the account which is over 10 yrs old with never a flag on it. We had to stop at a centura bank in Alabama and get them to fax our statement to the paypal people proving I owned that account.? then they wanted more. then they said the social security number was associated with another account? That being mine, the same account as we had been advised to change my name on the account from my former name to my married name. We did and that sent every thing into a tizzy again. After hours and minutes on the phone all on over time ( cell phone) we managed to get confirmation that once the faxes had been received the account would be opened again.
The faxes were sent and there was something missing? we had to find another bank and get the entire copy of the last statement and send that in with the address etc on it. what a mess and nothing you told those people made a impression. Seems like someone had sent in a donation sortly after we notified everyone that the money had been raised and also tagged the donation with a suspicious transaction tag. below is the donation. I have a strong feeling we have been had.

I am hoping that with people calling nicely to the Sec of State he will bend and accept the funding.

What made it worse is Bev Haris and L. Landis and a couple of other women asked to be allowed to attend the first meeting between Albert and the Sec Of State and were allowed. They came in with a chip on their shoulder trying to force more than a vote count which was what we asked for. they totally ticked the Sec. Of State off and pushed him in a corner.

Albert said after the meeting he hugged the man and asked him to please not hold a grudge but evidently it didn't work. He then demanded the funds before 3 PM today. We had them there but they were stopped by the investigation of the donations. Now we are hoping with nice phone calls from people tomorrow he will relent and allow the count to go forward and accept the funds. Keep your fingers crossed.

We thank Bob for offering to pay for the recount and wish he had made that offer sooner. We may have been saved this mess. We will all have to be very careful in the future when meeting with the officials and learn to use some tact with them. Bev and Landis made it very difficult for us to proceed.

Message from Ron (12/17/07)

2007-12-18T12:00:00.001-08:00

What a day! I am humbled and inspired, grateful and thrilled for this vast outpouring of support.

On just one day, in honor of the 234th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, the new American revolutionaries brought in $6.04 million, another one-day record. The average donation was $102; we had 58,407 individual contributors, of whom an astounding 24,915 were first-time donors. And it was an entirely voluntary, self-organized, decentralized, independent effort on the internet. Must be the "spammers" I keep hearing about!

The establishment is baffled and worried, and well they should be. They keep asking me who runs our internet fundraising and controls our volunteers. To these top-down central planners, a spontaneous order like our movement is science-fiction. But you and I know it's real: as real as the American people's yearning for freedom, peace, and prosperity, as real as all the men and women who have sacrificed for our ideals, in the past and today.

And how neat to see celebrations all across the world, with Tea Parties from France to New Zealand. This is how we can spread the ideals of our country, through voluntary emulation, not bombs and bribes. Of course, there were hundreds in America.

As I dropped in on a cheering, laughing crowd of about 600 near my home in Freeport, Texas, I noted that they call us "angry." Well, we are the happiest, most optimistic "angry" movement ever, and the most diverse. What unites us is a love of liberty, and a determination to fix what is wrong with our country, from the Fed to the IRS, from warfare to welfare. But otherwise we are a big tent.

Said the local newspaper: "The elderly sat with teens barely old enough to vote. The faces were black, Hispanic, Asian and white. There was no fear in their voices as they spoke boldly with each other about the way the country should be. Held close like a deeply held secret, Paul has brought them out of the disconnect they feel between what they know to be true and where the country has been led."

Thanks also to the 500 or so who braved the blizzard in Boston to go to Faneuil Hall. My son Rand told me what a great time he had with you.

A few mornings ago on LewRockwell.com, I saw a YouTube of a 14-year-old boy that summed up our whole movement for me. This well-spoken young man, who could have passed in knowledge for a college graduate, told how he heard our ideas being denounced. So he decided to Google. He read some of my speeches, and thought, these make sense. Then he studied US foreign policy of recent years, and came to the conclusion that we are right.

Elaine's Affidavit on Events of Their Kidnapping

The previous weekend, Dutch/Dan was introduced to us by one of our trusted friends and supporters. He and Dutch/Dan arrived unexpectedly at our home very late one night, around midnight as I recall. Dutch/Dan had been working his way into the confidence of our friend for some time, professing to be a supporter and sympathizer of us and our cause.

Dutch/Dan stayed with us for a day or so, offering to aid us in any way. He claimed to be a bounty hunter, living in New York someplace. I do not recall if he said exactly where. He asked to have some broken fillings replaced, which I did, and for which he paid me (which of course was then confiscated). When I told him I wanted to get the rest of my dental supplies from my dental office, he offered to get them for me. He went back and forth to New York a couple of times during the week, so he said, getting in touch with some associates to assist him in getting the supplies. He scouted out the office to see what kind of security was there. Again so he said.

I had asked him why he would take such a risk for someone he didn’t even know his answer was "because I love you guys"
I remember those exact words

On October 4th he arrived with 4 of his associates some of them, I don’t recall if 1 or 2 of them, remained at the house and were in telephone contact. They said there was an alarm on the office door, but they could get around it. Dutch/Dan had told us that he would love to get the supplies out of the office, that it would be a lot of fun to grab stuff from the feds.

They actually brought bags full of "supplies" (?) to the house they put everything in the garage. I never did get the opportunity to look in the bags, but I assume it was supplies in case I did open the bags when they brought them in.

Dutch/Dan also brought 3 pizzas, and we broke out the beer, we all sat on the front porch eating pizza and drinking beer, just relaxing. Suddenly they all jumped us. Dutch/Dan was sitting on my right, and he grabbed me securing my hands. Once he had me secured, one of the others tazered me on my left knee. The other four men had Ed on the floor, they had actually forced him out of his chair, through the front door, and onto the foyer floor we were immediately handcuffed. I behind my back. My memory of Ed is he was handcuffed in front and shackled feet and waist.

Shortly thereafter, Ed was driven to the Lebanon police dep. I was kept at the house for about another hour. Our dog Zoë was so frightened and confused. Fortunately she has a very sweet and passive personality, so she was not killed but was safely taken to the local humane center, as was our cat Amelia.

I was then taken to the Lebanon police dept. as we were driving there, on the road leading to our road; we passed 6 or 8 vehicles traveling together toward our house. Also after we were captured, several men in full bdu's heavily armed arrived at the house. thus there was a very large contingency of Marshalls, if that’s who they all were, gathered to come in. had we not been subdued as we were, I have no doubt they were prepared to kill us. All this for violating a law that does not exist.

Upon arriving at the Lebanon police dept. I saw Ed in a holding cell. I was taken to a cell out of sight of Ed. I saw on the wall of my cell "nhfree" so I know this was the cell Lauren Canario had been placed in. hi Lauren! One of the Marshalls kept telling me how glad he was that we were not shot. That they really didn’t want to hurt us. Of course they didn’t think, of the bad p.r. it would bring them.

He was shouting at Ed at the police station, about how he (Ed) broke the law, etc... This man alternated between concern and verbal abuse. He is the one who kept his hands on me the whole time, from the handcuffing to the police station. I don’t know if that is part of their training, or if he has a mental problem of some kind. for example, while at the house he held me by the arm even though I was handcuffed and surrounded by a number of armed men, he started shouting in my ear about my crime, how I should have paid taxes, how wrong we were, etc etc. i told him I would not respond to him, so he should stop talking to me. He said he was going to talk as much as he wanted, and I had no choice but to listen to him. I just tuned him out by praying silently.

After an hour or so, I was taken from the police station. I passed by the cell Ed was in. we kissed through the metal screen. That is the last time I saw my husband. I was not told where I was being taken. I was taken to the Wyatt detention center in central falls R.I. (a cosmic joke that is the city I was born in) unknown to me Ed was brought to the same place. I was driven here on Saturday morning, but Ed was kept there for almost a week.

While there I was kept in an observation room on suicide watch. I was not allowed to get my glasses or my meds from the house before I left. Friday night I had an asthma attack, and had to have a nebulizer treatment. I was not given any asthma meds until Monday night here, and then it was only due to my constant asking and kindness of a physician’s assistant, and after having to have another nebulizer treatment. I am ok but Ed has been and continues to be mistreated. He is still in isolation at Elkton, and our mail to each other is being held. My only word of him is from others who have been able to communicate with him.

Dutch/Dan was very good. Ed and I had our suspicions, but we let our guard down. Perhaps the situation was starting to get to us. I know I was starting to get itchy about being unable to leave, and having to rely on others. It had to end one way or another, and so it has.

We know god has a plan and we all have a part to play in it. He leaves it up to us to decide if we will play that part. Ed and I made the decision to do so. Looking back years ago when we started this. We did not realize that is what we were doing. But now we know why it always felt so right to us; we did what our hearts led us to do. What god has planned for us, all of us, from now on is up to him. To let us know in his own time.

That does not mean that I sit here and do nothing. I have met some amazing women here who have opened my eyes to a new path in our quest for freedom. We are working along that road now, in our continuing effort to expose the fraud in our government. Is this why I am here? Only the future will tell.

Be brave, stand up to oppression; injustice to one is injustice to all. Anyone who does not fight is part of the problem. That seems harsh, but these are harsh times!

Romans 12:2 says, “be ye not conformed to the world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove that which is the right and acceptable and perfect will of god."

may he bless us all, and give us the strength and wisdom to do thy will.

"Christy would turn over in her grave...."

2007-11-01T06:54:00.000-07:00

Actually, we believe Christy is really cheering We The People on in celebration of the Divine Order and Providence to the honor and glory of our Lord God, the Savior Jesus Christ!

763. Rita

Judge Steven McAuliffe, Christy would turn over in her grave if she knew what you did. Shame on you!!

Editor's Note: We received a note from David-Hatch Bernier (Elaine's Son) that the "Quest For Fair Trial" petition is fixed.

Also, today is "All Saints Day" - from the original All Hallows, Hallowmas ("hallows" meaning "saints," and "mas" meaning "Mass") which is a feast celebrated on the first Sunday after Pentecost in honour of all the saints, known and unknown. This day also refers to - from wikipedia - "a Christian formula invoking all the faithful saints and martyrs, known or unknown. In terms of Catholic theology, the feast remembers all those who have attained the beatific vision in heaven, while the next day, All Souls' Day, commemorates the departed faithful who have not yet been purified and reached heaven."

Christy passed/ascended on January 28, 1986 which is exactly 7947 days ago. It's interesting to note that the prime root of 7947 = 883 prime X 9 and that 2) 883 prime days from today brings us to April 2, 2010, the 5th Anniversary of the passing/ascension of Pope John Paul II; and 2) 883 prime days prior to today brings us to June 1, 2005 which was the 37th anniversary of the passing/ascension of another very famous individual, Helen Keller - the same age of Christy when she passed/ascended in 1986.

Christy went to Marian High School - a Catholic private school founded by the Archdiocese of Boston - in Framingham MA. The word "Marian" is "an adjective used of things relating to the Blessed Virgin Mary."

Ed and Elaine Brown were kidnapped/captured on October 4, 2007 which was/is EXACTLY Leo (356) days from the 89th anniversary of "The Miracle of The Sun Day", October 13, 1917, which was the final miracle of Our Lady of Fatima on the 13th day of each month across 6 months beginning on May 13th. Leo (356) corresponds to the sign of the Divine Birthmonth of August whose ruling planet is the Sun and which corresponds to the Human Heart and the prime of Leo (356) = 89 prime X 4. Our Lord was born on August 11th in the year 6 BC which corresponds to the year 1917 for 1917 is 1923 years from 6 BC and the prime of 1923 = 641 prime X 3 which is the prime of the word Rose (9615) = 641 prime X 15 which is in reference to the Blessed Virgin Mary who is also referred to as "Our Lady of The Roses".

Where/how does "Mary" fit into this? Well, from a purely mathematical perspective, the prime of Mary (4197) = 1399 prime X 3 and our Lord's birthdate, August 11th, is EXACTLY the 1399th day from/including October 13th, "The Miracle Of The Sun" day back in 1917. On August 11th, the sun rises here in Chicago over Lake Michigan at EXACTLY 5:55 am which is the beginning of the Leo (356th) minute of the New (555) Day. And if you come to Chicago and stand on Oak Street beach - facing east towards the rising sun - you will be standing on the EXACT latitude north as the apex above St. Peters Basilica in Vatican City. And be sure to find out the significance of "The Leo (356th) Day" of each year - ie. it's when the Sun begins to "stand still" for 2-3 days before it begins to rise on Christmas Day exactly 1 degree towards the northern hemisphere. We have been moving through the advent of the 23rd cycle of the prime of Leo (356) - ie. 89 - since the year 1958 for 1958 = 89 prime X 22. And 23 corresponds to the phrase I (9) Am (14) = 23 prime which is the Lord's original name and title given to Moses on Mt. Sinai - ie. "I Am....the Lord thy God..." Exodus 20:2.

Now back to Christy.....who was born on 19480902 which is the day that the father of the editor of this blog began to pass/ascend into heaven 48 years later in the year 1996 - he finally passed on the following day, 9/03. Thus, Christy was born on the 23rd "I AM" day from/including the Divine birthdate of August 11th in the year when my father's 23rd birthday, January 22nd (1948), fell on the 23 "I Am" cycle that connected all the way back to the birth of our Lord God Jesus Christ on August 11th in 6 BC as follows: January 22, 1948 was 713483 days from/including August 11, 6 BC which factors into 23 "I Am" X 31021.

Finally, my mother met my father for the first time exactly eight (8) days after Christy was born - September 10th - on a blind date. And exactly eight (8) years ago Walter Payton passed/ascended into heaven in the year 1999. For many years Walter Payton held the All-Time NFL rushing record of 16726 yards which was exactly 191 from 16535 which is the exact number of days he lived in this world - ie. 19991101 - 19540725 = 16535 days.

What does 191 corresponds to?

God (764) = 191 prime X 4

One final numerical note about Christy.....

Christy was born 713707 days from/including the birth of our Lord God Jesus Christ, August 11th in 6 BC. Let's factor 713707 into it's prime root as follows:

713707 = 619 prime X 1153

What does 619 correspond to?

619 corresponds to "The Word of God" as follows:

The (285) Word (5694) of (66) God (764) = 6809 = 619 prime X 11

And the non-prime factor of 1153 is Two (2) - which is the ONLY female prime number - from 1151 which is the 191st prime number from/including ONE (1). And, remember, 191 is the prime of God (764) = 191 prime X 4.

If we add 619 "The Word of God" days to the day Christy was born - ie. 19480902 + 619 prime days = 19500514 - we come to EXACTLY 89 "Prime of Leo (356)" days from August 11th, the Divine Birth of our Lord God Jesus Christ in 6 BC.

June 19th (619) is a very special day for it was commemorated by Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) as "Spiritual Independence Day" as follows:

"To people of ALL religions, June 19, 1770 marks the beginning of humanity's return to the days of spiritual peace, the long expected age which has been predicted in essentially all ancient stories, religious literature and myths of our history."

"To people of all nations, this day opened the door to true individual freedom throughout the world. Because our spiritual freedom has been restored, humanity has entered into a new era of governments. Today, progressive democracy continues to break down the lingering vestiges of repression."

"To scientists and others who desire a different way of understanding the Creator, this represents the opening of access to the deeper mysteries of life - the window into the next world which will allow us to explore its wonders while in this world - before we die."

"Most importantly, to all denominations of Christians, this is the celebration which marks the beginning of the long awaited Lord's Second Coming, and what is anticipated from these words: "I have yet many things to say unto you...". To some Christians, this day is called New Church Day, to reflect that the New Jerusalem is descending from Heaven to usher in a new future, which will blossom into an Age of peace and enlightenment." Read more here.

June 19th (619) - "The Word of God" Day - was the day in 1770 when Emanuel Swedenborg witnessed in the spiritual heavens our Lord commanding his disciples and all the heavenly angels to begin to preach the inner spiritual meaning of the Word of God.

I know this may seem "crazy" - but you, not me, clicked "Read More" - but there are no "coincidences". Chance and luck are figments of our imagination. We are ALL connected as ONE (1). ONE BIG happy musical family connected by waves and waves of intelligence, light and truth in service and love to others for the glory of God! Please forgive us for sharing just a piece of the scratched surface of this Divine Order and Providence with you on this "All Saints Day."

God bless Ed and Elaine Brown!!

PS. If you don't believe any of this then just note that these numbers apply to EVERYTHING! There's an incredible example embedded in the 101st World Series won by the Chicago White Sox in the year 2005 which was the advent of the 89th year from/including the events of Fatima in 1917. 2005 was a significant year, numerically, for the prime of 2005 = 401 prime X 5 which is the prime of word Rosary (961197) = 401 prime X 2397. 2005 was also the year Pope Paul II passed/ascended and before he passed he consecrated the year as "The Year of The Eucharist".

And, amazingly, since Pope John Paul II had changed the rosary in 2002-2003 - which was "The Year of The Rosary" - there have been a fourth series of mysteries added, "The Luminous Mysteries", which end with the 5th Luminous Mystery which is called "The Institution of The Eurcharist" as follows:

The Fifth Luminous Mystery

THE INSTITUTION OF THE EUCHARIST

1. I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.
2. Jesus took bread, blessed it: "Take and eat, this is My Body."
3. Taking the wine: "This cup is the new covenant in my Blood, shed for you."
4. At that eucharistic meal, Jesus celebrated the first Mass.
5. At every Mass the sacrifice of Calvary is made present.
6. At the Last Supper Jesus instituted the sacrament of Holy Orders to perpetuate this sacrifice.
7. "Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him."
8. The Eucharist is a sacrifice inasmuch as it is offered up, and a sacrament inasmuch as it is received.
9. In the Mass we offer ourselves to God, and God gives himself to us.
10. The Mass will be fruitful in the measure of our surrender to the Father.

-----------

It was originally recommended by Pope John Paul II that the Luminous Mysteries be prayed on Thursday and, incredibly, August 11, 2005 - in "The Year of Eucharist" - fell on a Thursday. And today is ONE (1) + 811 prime days from August 11, 2005. 811 corresponds to 8/11, the Divine Birthdate, and it also corresponds to My (47) God (764) = 811 prime. This maps perfectly with....

763. Rita

For the number 763 is ONE (1) from God (764)!

We The People believe Christy is really dancing in the light of Heaven right now!

Finally, remember that Boston's recent World Series win (very close to Christy's original home) - their 2nd in the past 4 seasons - was 89 "Prime of Leo (356)" years from 1918 when their World Series drought originally began before being broken in 2004. We are all in good company! Play Ball!

God bless Ed and Elaine Brown!!

I feel exactly the opposite; I intend to speak out MORE and LOUDER! I only wish I had done more to support the Browns. I know am a good person! I'm good to Old people, kids and Animals. I do as I will as long as I hurt no others! I don't need the Bible or the Government to tell me how to behave! I use my OWN eyes and the good sense I was born with to evaluate a situation. "My Parents taught me right from wrong"! If only more people would use the TOOLS given them, we wouldn't be in the mess we are today! So if the Marshall's don't have anything better to do with their time, than harass good decent AMERICAN people.. I believe we should be taking their names and badges and asking why OUR hard earn money is paying their wages for such nonsense!

9:13 AM

Editor's Note: Yesterday as we were on the Republic Broadcasting show with Tim Wingate, Szandor Blestman - and others in the second 1/2 hour - a helicopter (red underside, white uppper) circled and went over our home several times here in the Chicago area. Now we are not sure there was any connection between us/me and this experience, but this went on for at least 5-10 minutes at levels that were very low - only about 3-4 times higher that the surrounding trees and only when I reported this on the air did the helicopter finally go away. Very strange....

We The People are tired of the Federal Government constantly geting in our way - ie. restricting, limiting, dividing and polarizing the time, trust and energy of average good Americans. As Dave Kopel wrote in this morning's Nation Review Online, about the premise of Ron Paul's campaign, "Hope For America" as follows:

“Hope for America” and its premise is that the American people are good people who can achieve the best for themselves, their families, their community, and their nation when the federal government gets out of the way and stops behaving like a helicopter mother."

All Aboard The Freedom Train: Ed and Elaine Brown Are In The Engineers Cabin

2007-10-08T18:10:00.001-07:00

Editor's Note: As you read this information, please think about and pray for Ed and Elaine Brown. They have proven themselves to be engineers for this great "New American Freedom Train" that is calling ALL Americans to climb aboard as we receive, share and celebrate what the true meaning of freedom and liberty is in this great country.

Please be sure to visit "Freedom Force International" and read, share and celebrate "The Creed Of Freedom" written by G. Edward Griffin, who wrote the classic book, The Creature From Jekyl Island.

-----------

The 1947 - 1949 Freedom Train was conceived as an opportunity to reflect on the meaning of American citizenship at a time when the nation was finding a new and central role in world affairs. Americans had experienced a decade of pre-war economic Depression. They made sacrifices in foreign lands throughout World War II. They were entering an age of post-war prosperity with opportunities unknown in all of human history. And they were unsure of the reassurances at the sudden dawn of the nuclear age and Soviet expansion into countries just liberated from fascist oppression in Europe and Asia.

With President Harry Truman in the lead, some in the national government believed Americans should pause and reflect, to experience a "rededication" to the principles that founded their country.

President Truman loved trains, and his use of the "whistle stop" campaign train still epitomizes this icon of the electoral process. Attorney General Tom Clark and his staff proposed a train that would travel to communities in every state of the nation, taking with it dozens of "documents of liberty."

The result, they hoped, would enable Americans to rediscover for themselves just how hard-won their freedoms were. Clearly, they hoped to enable personal reconciliations with the still-fresh sacrifices and human costs of war, and to impart a sense of meaning and worth to those sacrifices.

October 8, 1947: The American Freedom Train's Date With Providence

Sixty years ago today, The Freedom Train left Connecticut and stopped in Providence Rhode Island. The Divine Providence must be sending us a message for on the day Ed and Elaine were kidnapped/captured against their will the Freedom Train stopped in Hartford Connecticut en route from Waterbury (10/3) and Bridgeport (10/2). Elaine Brown was brought to Danbury - which is located very close to Hartford - where she began serving her 63 month sentence for breaking a law that the government still - to this day - refuses to show We The People.

American Freedom Train stops in 1947:

October 4, 1947 - Hartford CT
October 5, 1947 - New Haven, CT
October 7. 1947 - New London, CT
October 8, 1947 - Providence, RI

The 1976 "American Freedom Train" Bicentennial

The triumph of the steam-powered American Freedom Train was, indeed, the only nationwide celebration of the Bicentennial. It was pulled by steam locomotives in the age of the diesel, and would improve on the three display cars of its predecessor, the 1947 Freedom Train. The American Freedom Train would feature twelve display cars, ten that visitors would go aboard and pass through and two to hold large objects that would be viewed from the ground through huge "showcase" windows. The display cars were filled with over 500 precious treasures of Americana. Included in these diverse artifacts were George Washington's copy of the Constitution, the original Louisiana Purchase, Judy Garland's dress from The Wizard of OZ, Joe Frazier's boxing trunks, Martin Luther King's pulpit and robes, and even a rock from the moon.

The American Freedom Train (AFT) was a 26-car train led by one of three enormous steam engines restored just for the occasion. Over a 21 month period from April 1, 1975 to December 31, 1976 more than 7 million Americans visited the train during its tour of all 48 contiguous states. Tens of millions more stood trackside to see it go by. It was by far the greatest event on rails since the end of the steam era, and the uniquely magnificent vehicle that brought America's Bicentennial celebration to the people.

Please Call The Marshals To Locate Ed!!

2007-10-07T16:03:00.000-07:00

We would like everyone who can to give the U.S. Marshal's office in New Hampshire a call and ask them to locate Ed. Ask why Ed has not been handed over to to the Federal Bureau of Prisons yet. Ask them how Ed is being treated, if he has been hospitalized, if he's still alive even (we have no way of knowing), if he is being submitted to "diesel therapy" as described in the last post we made.

Take down names, employee numbers, dates/times to reference the call, whatever you can to have a record! DEMAND for answers! They've got Ed like they always wanted, why isn't he handed over to the prison? WHAT ARE THEY DOING TO HIM? HOW IS HE BEING TREATED?!?!

We don't and can't give legal advice of any kind. We believe it may be perfectly "legal" or lawful to record your conversations with the Marshal's office if you tell them that you are recording. If you do, you can send us the sound file or post it on the Internet somewhere.

WE NEED A RECORD. Please read the story below about former Congressman George Hansen to see what we mean by diesel therapy!!!.

U.S. Marshall''s office 603-225-1632

Where Are Ed and Elaine? Is Ed being TORTURED?
We think we may have located Elaine: http://bop.gov/iloc2/InmateFinderServlet...

We still show that Ed is "NOT IN BOP (BUREAU OF PRISONS) CUSTODY"

Could Ed be currently subjected to "Diesel therapy" or some other form of torture? It's EASY to torture prisoners through purposeful neglect and mistreatment.

http://www.uwsa.com/Uwsadisclosure.prison.html

Excerpt:

The harassment and torture that befell Congressman Hansen came from prison officials, in the form of neglect for serious medical problems and health hazards in the prison work place. The torture also came from the Federal Marshals who cruelly transported him from one prison to another.

Political prisoners (ED: Political prisoners? In America?? You betcha!!!) and those who are considered trouble makers arc given what prisoners call, "diesel therapy". "Diesel therapy" consists of being put on diesel busses or airplanes and being transported from prison to prison for weeks and months at a time (ED: ALL at the expense of the taxpayers!).

On the surface it sounds benign. What could be the problem with making a prisoner ride in a bus for hours at a time?

Torture American Style

Before the prisoner is put on the bus, he is put in handcuffs and shackles (leg irons). The handcuffs are tightened by a black box that stiffens the chains and puts the wrists in a 90 degree bind that painfully cuts circulation and damages the nerves. It takes several weeks for the circulation and nerves to return to normal. The handcuffs are connected with chains to a waist chain, which is in turn connected by another chain to the shackles which go around the ankles The prisoner can barely move once the shackling process is complete.

He is then placed in a small seat on a bus or airplane. (ED: George Hansen is a BIG man, standing well over 6'-3" and -- before his ordeal -- tipping the scales at well over 220 pounds.) Because of the shackles, the prisoner is forced to sit in one position for up to 20 hours at a time. And the guards will rarely go to the trouble of unshackling a prisoner. Prisoners who understand "diesel therapy" know that "fasting" is the only way to handle the ordeal without messing or wetting yourself.

But even those who are smart enough to abstain from food and drink, still have to suffer the stench of urine and feces which soon fills the bus or plane.

One other painful aspect of diesel therapy is the shoes that prisoners are forced to wear. They become too small. The cramped position and tight shackles cause the feet and ankles to swell. The shackles cut into the legs and cut off circulation. The blood pools in the feet and causes the feet to swell. The toes are forced up against the tops of the too small shoes, and unbelievable pressure is put on the toenails. The toenails soon become deformed, infected and painful.

Each day the metal shackles are put back onto raw and infected legs before the prisoner boards the bus. After weeks and months of diesel therapy, the ankles and shins have raw, infected and open wounds that will not heal.

Hour after hour, the prisoner sits in a cramped & painful position, with shackles cutting into already infected, raw flesh. Arthritis and bursitis compound the misery of the prisoners. The ingrown, infected toenails, which are jammed inside of purposely small shoes, cripple the prisoner to the point that he can barely walk or move when he is finally released from the shackles.

During the weeks and months of diesel therapy, the prisoner is out of contact with the rest of the world. In the case of Congressman Hansen, his wife did not know if he was dead or alive. His lawyer could not find him and therefore could not file court papers on time. Even the members of congress who were still trying to help him, could not locate him. During his diesel therapy" he disappeared into the black hole dug and run by the United States Marshals.

After "diesel therapy", Hansen was forced to operate on his feet himself. His toenails were so deformed that they pointed straight up. He could not wear shoes without excruciating pain. The only remedy that was open to him was to pull the toenails out by the roots. Our prisoners of war in SE Asia had their fingernails and toenails pulled out by their torturers. Congressman Hansen had to become his own torturer in an effort to stop the pain.

Several weeks ago, Congressman Hansen was testifying before his former colleagues in the House of Representatives. He told the story of his trip into Iran during the Iran hostage crisis in 1979. He was the only United States official to get into Iran to try to negotiate an end to the crisis.

While he was there, he was shown the horrible human suffering that was inflicted upon the Iranian people by the Shah of Iran and his secret police.

He told his former colleagues about the horrors of the Shah's torture chambers. Ankles that had been smashed by heavy clubs. Legs that had been smashed and permanently scarred. Hands and feet that had no nails because they were repeatedly pulled out.

Then he stood up and walked around in front of his table. Leaning lightly on the table, he pulled up his pant leg and showed his former colleagues the raw, red scars on his own legs -- scars that stretched many inches, from his ankles up his shin bones. He told his former colleagues about his toenails, which have never grown back properly. He ended his "show and tell" session by informing the House that they did not have to travel to foreign countries to witness torture. All they had to do is visit any American prison and they would quickly find the effects of purposeful abuse and neglect on certain prisoners.

If his former colleagues have any sense, they will quickly reform the prison system, before any more of them end up there.

The scars on his legs and the lack of toenails were minor problems for Hansen. The major pain came from his teeth and deteriorating bones. These problems came from hazardous chemicals he was forced to work around during his job assignment in the prison power plant. The chemicals caused his bones to weaken and his teeth to become infected and turn to mush. (ED: Where oh where is OSHA and the EPA when ya' REALLY need 'em?). The pain' of abscessed teeth was unbearable. To be able to function each day, without even an aspirin to dull the pain, he picked up a plastic cap used to splice electric wires. He placed the cap in the infected area and bit down on it all day and night.

During his four years in prison, he lost most of his teeth through willful neglect on the part of the prison officials.

Hansen was forced to sell his homes in Virginia and Idaho. Everything he and his wife had accumulated during years of hard work went to lawyers or to pay the fine. Even though his retirement was not supposed to be touched, through some nefarious deal, it was tapped to pay fines, thereby denying his wife the means to live. She was approaching sixty, had a heart condition and diabetes, but she was put out of her home and didn't even have the money to rent an apartment. With the help of their children and a job, she just barely made ends meet until Hansen was released.
They are now in their 60s and they are starting over with nothing. He still has health problems associated with prison life, and still needs further dental work. He drives a leased Honda and lives with his wife in a rented apartment in Pocatello, Idaho.

ConnieTalk.com Provides A Supportive Report On The Browns

2007-10-07T09:04:00.001-07:00

Ed and Elaine Brown arrested in New Hampshire

Saturday, October 6th, 2007Presidential hopeful Ron Paul agrees with the Browns' plight, and compares them to Ghandi!

The couple that gained fame or infamy (depending on who you ask?) were taken into custody on Thursday night, after a five-month standoff with police and over a decade of refusing to pay their taxes. Authorities say they were taken peacefully from their Plainfield, New Hampshire home, although Brown supporters are asking for "proof of life" and are calling it a kidnapping by the "Feds."

The Browns haven't paid taxes since 1996, and were convicted of federal tax charges on January 18th. They were not present in court for their April sentencing, where they were given 63 months (5 1/4 years) federal prison term. They gained media interest and thousands of supporters for their stance that there is no law that makes the average American liable for being taxed on their income. They holed up in their home and refused to surrender, keeping weapons for defense, and getting power from a wind turbine generator and solar panels. They filed 42 motions in Concord, New Hampshire's U.S. District Court, which were all denied.

Visitors to the Brown residence were prohibited; a notice was given by the U.S. Marshals Service stating that anyone who entered or remained on the property without their authorization would be criminally prosecuted.

A fan/supporter profile on MySpace.com for Ed and Elaine Brown posted this message from Elaine on September 28th:

"Ed and I have said 'enough,' and even though we are currently unable to leave our home without risking being unlawfully assaulted by the federalies, we are more free now than we have ever been, as we have boycotted any and all government claims on us. At the same time the government has unlawfully attacked us by terminating our electricity, internet access, television satellite, telephone, and mail (the federal marshalls keep all mail that is sent to us.) The federal marshalls have said they know we have broken no laws, but they will come against us when ordered to."

WTP Initiates National "Clean Elections" Lawsuit

Ten states are being sued to prevent the use of computerized voting systems during the 2008 primary and general elections and beyond. The lawsuit seeks to halt the use of machine-based voting systems and vote counting procedures that hide the ballots and the counting of votes from the People.

The complaint challenges the constitutionality of current voting procedures in the states, claiming that they "heighten the possibility of confusion, deception, frustration, and fraud." It contends that the existing practices are constitutionally deficient and prevent open, verifiable, transparent voting, and that the use of discredited electronic voting machines and flawed vote counting procedures drastically increase the likelihood of error and election fraud. The lawsuit calls for a visible chain of ballot custody with paper ballots kept in full public view throughout the voting, counting, and tallying process.

The lawsuit asks the Court to prohibit the states from conducting elections that are not open, verifiable, transparent and machine and computer free.

The US Supreme Court has declared the meaning of the Right to vote, as guaranteed by the US Constitution. Individuals not only have the Right to cast a vote, they have the Right to cast an effective vote, meaning they have the Right to have their vote counted accurately.

"We need to bring transparency and accountability to the voting process throughout the states," said Bob Schulz, who wrote the brief and is spearheading the nationwide effort. "We need to reclaim our vote and ensure that our voices are heard and that our votes are accurately counted. The only sure way to do that is to have the People, in the light of day, observe, verify, and secure the votes cast on paper ballots and to count those ballots before the public by hand."

The ten states that have been sued thus far include New York, New Hampshire, Illinois, South Carolina, Florida, Ohio, Iowa, Texas, California and Oregon.

We are in the process of serving the Complaint on each state.

Details of Appeals Hearing‏

2007-09-18T19:28:00.001-07:00

Dear Subscriber,

I have the details of the oral arguments which will occur in theappeal of my conviction. Again, it will be happening at the federalcourthouse (844 N. King Street) in downtown Wilmington, Delaware(NOT in Philadelphia*). The case is U.S. v. Larken Rose (casenumber 05-5199), and the hearing will begin at 10:00 a.m., onThursday, September 27th, in courtroom 6A (on the sixth floor).

The hearing should be fairly short. The court has given each side15 minutes for argument, though if the court wants to hear more, itoften goes longer than that. And again, only the search warrantissues (First and Fourth Amendments) will be addressed at thehearing, though my appeal raises other issues in the writtenmotions. As I understand it, a ruling in the case should happen within a few days of the hearing.

So if you want to come along, feel free. As in any appeal, the onlyquestion before the appellate court is whether the trial courtjudge (Judge Michael Baylson) did what he was supposed to do. We'rearguing that he should have granted my motion to suppress, which hedidn't. While I'm at it, let me mention a few more points whichpeople have asked about:

1) If the appeal is successful, I get "unconvicted," but thegovernment could try to prosecute me again. Since I've alreadyserved the sentence, they wouldn't have much to gain by doing so,except for the "making an example" propaganda routine. (On theother hand, they'd have a lot to lose if they tried again and lost.)

2) There are several issues raised in my appeal, any one of whichcan be the basis for the conviction to be thrown out. If we win onthe issue of suppression, however, the government wouldn't beallowed to use anything they got from the 2003 raid of my house(including e-mails in which I say nasty things about the IRS--as ifthat is proof of a crime). In theory the government could still tryme again, but they could use almost nothing they introduced at thefirst trial.

3) If I win (either the government doesn't take it to trial again,or I get acquitted the second time), my conviction disappears, butall I get for the year of wrongful imprisonment is an official"oops." Only very rarely does is a suit for wrongful incarcerationsuccessful. (In addition to the wrongful imprisonment, the courtalso fined me $10,000, which I'm almost finished paying off. If Iwon I'd get that back.)

4) If I win the appeal, am tried again, and convicted again, Iexpect I would just get sentenced to "time served" (what I alreadydid). Since I was coerced into giving them returns pretending Iowed the tax, and giving them lots and lots of money I didn't owe(and entering an installment agreement for what's left), I can'timagine why the sentence would go up the second time around. So the second time around I'd pretty much have nothing to lose.

Sincerely,

Larken Rose

(* Apparently the Philadelphia appeals court is so backlogged thatsome cases, including mine, are being sent to other courthouses.That's why my appeal is happening in Delaware, and it's also why ittook so long to happen at all.)

True Colors Shining Through

"The evils of tyranny are rarely seen but by him who resists it." - John Hay

Dear Subscriber,

A lot of people think it's exaggerating or being melodramatic to
say that EVERY command from "government" is a threat of violence,
backed by the ability and willingness to use deadly force. The main
reason it doesn't look that way is because most people immediately
cave in and comply with government demands ("laws"), so the
violence backing it up is never seen.

Imagine an armed car-jacker using the following defense when put on
trial: "Hey, I didn't ever shoot anyone, or even hit anyone. I just
said some words, and they all GAVE me their cars! I didn't use
violence." If the words he used were "Give me your car or I'll blow
your brains out," I think we'd all agree that that constitutes
violence. The THREAT of force--stating that you WILL use violence
if someone doesn't do what you say--is by itself a form of
violence. No one with a brain would claim that car-jacking is
perfectly fine if the crook has never ACTUALLY shot anyone (but
only threatened to).

Nonetheless, the violence inherent in ALL involuntary "taxation"
goes unnoticed by most people, simply because in most cases, the
violence never actually occurs--people "comply" in order to AVOID
the nasty things threatened by the feds. However, for a reality
check, it's helpful for people to be able to see, every once in a
while, the true colors of so-called "tax collectors," and that only
happens when someone resists.

I was merely put in prison for a year, but even that is a very
deceptive indicator of how vicious and violent the "law enforcers"
truly are. I went along with being put in a cage in order to avoid
the ultimate "trump card" behind EVERY "law" or EVERY "government":
murder. If you doubt that, you need only look to an example of
someone who DIDN'T go along with the federal terrorists. I'm
speaking, of course, of Ed and Elaine Brown.

Does anyone need machine-guns and tanks in order to ask nicely for
a voluntary contribution? Are SWAT teams and sneak attacks required
to collect "donations"? No. The IRS, the ATF, and all "tax
collectors," are gangs of armed robbers, willing to murder those
who do not give in. Again, we rarely SEE the true colors of these
gangs of inhuman monsters, because almost everyone caves in quickly
in order to AVOID having the really nasty stuff happen to them.

I have heard that there are indications that the feds are
escalating their "presence" near the Browns' house. Setting aside
authoritarian euphemisms, what that means is that they are getting
closer to using overt violence to either capture or kill the
Browns. And since Ed Brown has made it clear that he won't go
quietly, it's pretty darn obvious that if they go in, the feds have
every intention of MURDERING him.

For what? For not giving them a piece of his paycheck. Let's
pretend for a minute that the Browns legally owed the "taxes" in
question, and let's even pretend that the Browns THOUGHT they owed
the tax (neither of which is true). Even if they said "Yeah, we owe
it, but we're not paying," would that make it okay to MURDER them?

In his brilliant writings, Lysander Spooner constantly described
government agents as "bands of thieves and murderers," which to
most people would seem a little harsh and over-the-top. But the
Browns are performing the public service of PROVING that that is
EXACTLY what authoritarian "law enforcers" are: people who forcibly
rob people, and who are willing to commit MURDER against those who
resist. Of course, if no one ever resists, we never get to actually
SEE just how evil the parasite thugs really are.

"The evils of tyranny are rarely seen but by him who resists it."
[John Hay]

Whatever someone thinks of Mr. Brown personally, or of any
unorthodox tax-related beliefs, it is good for Americans to be
forced to face the question: Is it okay to MURDER people for not
paying the government's "protection" fees? If you say "yes," you
deserve any level of enslavement and oppression "authority" can
impose upon you. If you say "no," then ALL "taxation"--however many
layers of euphemisms and platitudes the truth is buried under--is
an intolerable evil.

Some people are going as far as volunteering to use defensive force
to try to prevent the murder of Mr. Brown. Amazingly, those people
are then publicly demonized--and when possible, arrested--by the
hypocritical, power-happy, murderous, machine-gun-toting fascists
who are willing to COMMIT the murder. Mr. Brown is in his house,
surrounded by a bunch of heavily-armed enemies, who are there with
the obvious goal of capturing or killing him (knowing that the
former is extremely unlikely), but when someone tries to come to
the aide of Mr. Brown, to protect him from the aggressors, that
person is arrested for being a nasty criminal. This shows just how
insane the belief in "authority" can make people: armed robbery and
murder are okay because they're (supposedly) "legal," but using
defensive force against thieves and murderers is evil (if they call
themselves "government").

Well, if that is the case, then I'm proud to be rooting for the
evil side. Only the belief in "authority" can brainwash people so
thoroughly that they can see the guy who is being ROBBED as the
criminal, and the ROBBERS as the good guys. Such is the power of
the most dangerous superstition.

Not surprisingly, the thieves and murderers want things happening
quietly, which is why they've cut off the Brown's phone lines and
internet. Personally, I'd love to see a thousand eyes all around
the place, always watching, always recording, always spreading the
truth. If the U.S. Marshals, the New Hampshire Sheriffs, and any
other "authorities" involved actually believe that THEY are the
good guys, wouldn't they WANT lots of people watching? Wouldn't
they WANT the whole thing to be open and public, so their nobility
and righteousness would be plain for all to see? They are the
criminals, and they know it. They just want the rest of the country
to remain so indoctrinated and clueless that the Browns will look
like the "criminals"--dead criminals, if "government" once again
has its way (as it did in the cases of Waco, Ruby Ridge, Gordon
Kahl, and many others most people have never heard of).

Not surprisingly, most people don't really want to go up against
the most powerful regime the world has ever known. But at least let
he who has eyes SEE what is going on, and once again the "law
enforcers" will be shown for what they are: as Lysander Spooner put
it, "a band of thieves and murderers."

Sincerely,

Larken Rose
http://www.larkenrose.com

(P.S. I have no idea what the physical layout of the surrounding
area is, but if Mr. Brown's house is visible from anyone else's
property, I hope they have 24-hour video surveillance going--
infrared if possible.)

Ron Paul v Big Brother

2007-09-14T11:49:00.000-07:00

Can he win?

By Bill Price

George Orwell created Big Brother in his novel “1984”. Orwell’s fictional creation, a totalitarian state, had gained complete control over its subjects. The term Big Brother has since become synonymous with all dictatorial political systems which ultimately supplant their greedy wills over the natural actions and private thoughts of the common citizen. A modern manifestation of Big Brother can be witnessed today through the phenomena known as political correctness. Be careful of what you say. When rights are converted into privileges and fear of the authorities is the rule not the exception, Big Brother’s ominous form is once again casting its long shadows. Orwell’s nightmare of a dictatorial political and philosophical system has evolved into a modern religion, a non theistic one unless you consider government and God as the same. An encompassing force incrementally imposed through steady doses of fear is Big Bro’s modus operandi. Long tentacles reach into all spheres of life. The economy is where the greatest amount of social force can be applied and Big Brother completely controls it through the Federal Reserve Bank, the World Bank and virtually all modern systems of finance. Fractional banking, compound interest, and money creation through debt have trumped congressional control in the U.S. Big Brother’s seductive power has cast a spell on our representatives in Washington D.C. “Congress shall have the power to coin money, regulate the value thereof; and of foreign coin…” U.S Constitution Article I § 8 part 5. This spell has made our elected representatives blind to section 8 part 5 of Article 1, and magically created an authority that gave Congress’s exclusive power for coining/creating money to private for profit bankers. Trillions in interest have been harvested by seducing Congress into ignoring Article I § 8 part 5.

Big Brother’s incantation has done similarly with the following Constitutional provisions:
“Congress shall have the power… to declare war…” Article 1 § 8 part 11:“

“Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included in this Union, according to their respective numbers…” Article 1 § 2 part 3.

And, Article 1 in § 9 part 4. No capitation, or other direct, tax shall be laid, unless in proportion to the census…”

The Constitution demands that direct taxes be apportioned. Every contender in the 2008 presidential race except for Congressman Paul is either under big brother’s spell or is just another of his unwitting accomplices.

We are in a mortal struggle with the ghost, conjured in literary form by George Orwell. Orwell has proven himself to be a prophet with his futuristic specter, an atheistic “paradise”. Ron Paul is a challenger vying for president…the only one willing to do battle with the shadow government of Big Brother. His success depends on his two weapons, the Constitution and us. I’m certain of the Constitution, but do we patriots have the fortitude required for a serious fight? The real question now is not can Ron Paul win, but rather, can we make him the winner.

Media Noticing WTP's
First Amendment Battle at Second Circuit

Following the Order by the US Court of Appeals in Manhattan blocking enforcement of the most harmful part of the August 9th injunction issued by a federal District Court Judge against WTP, and that ordered oral arguments before a substantive motions panel in Manhattan next Tuesday, both the New York Times and a prestigious, 35-year old First Amendment watchdog and legal defense organization have published stories regarding WTP's case.

Last Tuesday, the New York Times followed up on its original story regarding the District Court's injunction with a short piece covering the Order by the Court of Appeals. The text appears below:

The New York Times

Order on Tax Evasion Site Blocked

A federal appeals court has temporarily blocked an order that the Internal Revenue Service be given the names of people who acquired materials from a Web site on how to defeat the tax laws.

The Web site, givemeliberty.org, shut down last week and posted an Aug. 9 order to do so from Thomas J. McAvoy, a senior federal judge for the Northern District of New York.

Judge McAvoy ruled that evidence showed that the Web site was inciting people to violate the tax laws. The judge found that under a 1969 Supreme Court ruling, the Web site had thus lost its First Amendment protections as either commercial or political speech.

Robert L. Schulz of Queensbury, N.Y., who operates the Web site, appealed to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan on Thursday.

On Friday, Judge Peter W. Hall temporarily blocked the portion of the order requiring Mr. Schulz to turn over to the government the names and identifying details of people who had obtained information at the Web site on how to stop federal tax from being withheld from their paychecks. Judge Hall set Sept. 18 for oral arguments on the issue.

On Friday, September 1, 2007, a First Amendment watchdog and legal defense organization called "The Reporter's Committee for Freedom of the Press" also covered the developments in the WTP case, specifically referencing USDC Judge McAvoy's finding that WTP's Speech "incites imminent lawless action," and referring to the seminal Supreme Court case Brandenburg v. Ohio which established the legal standard for determining if such Speech can be enjoined.

The Committee provides free legal assistance to news reporters facing litigation for their exercise of the First Amendment. Its September 7th article about WTP can be read here. The Committee's website is www.rcfp.org.

Given the importance of the numerous First Amendment issues before the Court and the difficulties the government faces in publicly defending its 6700 related "enforcement" actions against WTP, we anticipate next week's proceedings will of enormous significance not only for the WTP organization but for the larger future of Free Speech and the First Amendment's guarantee of the People's Right to Petition the government for Redress of Grievances. We anticipate posting a brief web update following next week's hearing as well as an audio recording of the oral arguments.

As of today, the Government has yet to respond to WTP's motion to stay the enforcement of Judge McAvoy's order pending the results of WTP's appeal from that Order.

North American Union Amero Coin is REAL!!!

2007-09-09T13:04:00.000-07:00

!!! Breaking News !!!

"THE AMERO" IS REAL;
I HAVE ONE TO PROVE IT!

UNITED STATES, CANADA AND MEXICO TO BE MERGED INTO SINGLE NEW ENTITY NAMED NORTH AMERICAN UNION!

By: Hal Turner

Three weeks ago, I published a brief snippet on the front page of my web site reporting the governments of the US Canada and Mexico are conspiring in secret to merge the three nations into a new entity called the North American Union.

There has been much talk of this on various internet blogs for over a year. Most of those blogs have been smeared as "conspiracy theorists" and have been largely ignored by the main stream.

What prompted my interest in the issue was money: I was sent professional images of actual AMERO coins by someone in the US Treasury! The person included a note saying they like my radio show and are frightened by what's been going on in secret within our government.

This Treasury Department person was outraged that our country was beginning to coin money as part of a merger that would do away with our country, via a merger the American public knew nothing about!

When I got the professional images of the AMERO coin, I was finally intrigued enough to make mention of it on my web site. My site has gotten over 20 Million visits in the last couple years and is becoming more popular because of the brutal honesty and timely delivery of news that folks don't find elsewhere. This story about AMERO coins would fit my niche of breaking news, so I ran a snippet of a story.

As part of my report, I included the professional images sent to me by the Treasury person. They appear below:

I also mentioned that very pricey "Collector Proofs" of the coins were also being Minted in Silver and Gold, and I posted an image of one such Silver Proof, shown below:

The story went on to say that the US Government has intentionally overspent itself for the purpose of irreversibly Bankrupting the country. The idea is that they will drive the country into economic failure, then when millions of Americans are panicking at the prospect, offer them a solution of merging the three countries as "the only possible way" to avoid losing everything.

They will force Canada into the merger by telling them the US currency they hold and rely upon will be worthless and the only way Canada can even hope to salvage any of the funds is to join the NAU.

They will sell it to the Mexican people by saying it will instantly improve their buying-power and quality of life.

In reality, the value of the US and Canadian dollars will be significantly reduced to counter the worthless peso being absorbed. People in the US and Canada will suffer great financial loss while Mexicans will see significant gain. In the meantime, the financial elite and the politicians they own will make out like bandits!

That's the reason politicians are doing this: to get rich for themselves and their financial elite pals.

The folks in power within government and their buddies in Banking and finance know that in any currency switch, some lose big while others gain big. Really big! In fact, folks with foreknowledge of such a switch can make hundreds-of-millions, perhaps even billions for themselves overnight. Those without foreknowledge (common folks like you and me) usually end up being wiped out.

INSTANT, FULL BLAST "SPIN"

I published the images and the small story and went to bed. I had no idea what my little story would do.

Within a matter of hours, there was a full blown effort to discredit my story and the images as fake.

I was accused of lying. I was accused of having "photoshopped" the images by creating them in Adobe Photoshop.

Within a couple days, a basic web site for AMERO "FANTASY COINS" was erected on the internet and word of that site was spread quickly. The site contained the same images as I had run on my front page, so clearly whatever "SPIN" was happening was being driven by others who also had the professional images.

There was intense effort to claim the whole idea of these coins was a fantasy and there was absolutely no truth to them whatsoever. That effort to "spin" the story out of existence worked. Folks quickly lost interest. I did not.

Get me the real thing by any means necessary

I reached out to the person in the Treasury who first alerted me to the coins. That person told me "The shit hit the fan around here when your story ran." The person went on to say "They told everyone in all the Mints that anyone revealing information about the AMERO would be fired and perhaps even criminally prosecuted for endangering national security."

Ahhhh yes, the grand old catch-all of national security. When they wheel that one out, you just KNOW they're pissed off about something!

I told the Treasury person that the only way anyone might believe this is happening, is for me to actually get one of the coins. The Treasury guy balked. He said "there's no way to get one without stealing it."

I though about that for a moment. . . . . then decided that if my government is concealing the actual Minting of coins for a new sovereign entity which may end up with power over me, but which I haven't been told about, then that government deserves whatever gets done to it.

I told the Treasury person to get me an Amero by any means necessary - even if that meant stealing it. The Treasury person said it would require them to think about for awhile and if it could be done, I would get one in the mail.

I waited. And waited. Frankly, after about three weeks, I lost track of the story -- until today. A real AMERO coin arrived at my home in the mail this afternoon!

The real thing arrives!

Today, I received a single 20 AMERO coin in the mail. A real coin. Real metal, really MINTED by the US Mint in Denver, CO. The proof that it is being Minted in Denver is that the coin is stamped with the Mint Identity letter "D" on the bottom right of the side with the eagle just like regular US coins already in circulation today!

Click each image to enlarge it, CLICK TWICE TO SUPER ENLARGE IT!!

Please note the letter "D" stamped below and to the right of the Planet earth at the bottom right of the coin in this photo. That "D" stands for the United States Mint at Denver, CO.

VIDEO!

So that you can see this is a real, metal coin, I have made a small video of me holding the coin, turning it, then dropping it on a wooden table top so you can hear what it sounds like when it hits.

I WAS RIGHT!

I stand vindicated. All those who claimed I fabricated the images now owe me an apology. All those who claimed these were "fantasy" coins can now explain why anyone in their right mind would spend Millions of dollars to create the rare and expensive professional dies and plates necessary for minting coins that will not be issued?

The simple truth is, the coins are real. The plan to merge the US, Canada and Mexico is real. Our government is lying about it and the fact they are minting money at the Denver Mint bearing the name of Union of North America is proof.

So America, Canada and Mexico, our governments are betraying us and planning to merge our countries without our knowledge or consent, or by financial disaster they bring-on intentionally. What are we going to do about it?

For my part, the Second Amendment comes to mind.

I TOLD YOU THAT "AMEROS" WERE BEING MINTED; MANY ACCUSED ME OF LYING. . . . .

NOW, A U.S. STATE HAS BEGUN ISSUING "NORTH AMERICAN UNION" DRIVER LICENSES!

North Carolina has become the first U.S. state to place the logo of the yet-to-be-formed "North American Union" on its official state identification. North Carolina has issued a Driver License bearing the logo of the North American Union.

Gee, now all the morons who screamed at me claiming the AMERO coins were a "fantasy coin" can now go scream at WorldNetDaily too! Maybe you can accuse them of reporting about a "fantasy" driver license? Why not; after all, they have photos of the NAU-ready driver license the same way I had photos of the NAU coins.

Maybe, when everything is in place and you wake up one morning to find America merged into Canada and Mexico, maybe THEN you'll realize I was telling the truth. Until then, stay happy with your head shoved firmly up your ass. You seem to like keeping it there even when the truth is right in front of you.

By Bill Price

Are there conspiracies? Deductive reasoning causes people to entertain ideas of conspiracies. One of the biggest conspiracies in existence right now has been overlooked for decades. In education, evidence of an “income” tax conspiracy surfaces whenever the subject of taxation and its relationship to the 16th Amendment are explained in textbook form. We home schooled our children and used various accredited home schooling materials as guides to get the job done. Magruder’s American Government Vol. II is a good textbook on U.S. government. But, after reading on page 496, I discovered that Magruder is another unwitting accomplice to the “income” tax conspiracy. Magruder, like virtually all “educators” today, is a product of this conspiracy. Here is what his textbook says about the 16th Amendment:

The obvious impossibility of taxing incomes fairly and in accord with any plan of apportionment led, finally, to the adoption of the 16th Amendment in 1913. Magruder’s American Government Vol. II, Page 496.

Compare that statement with the Supreme Court’s explanation on the limitations and purpose of the 16th Amendment, three years after it was added to our Constitution:

“…concluding that the classification of direct was adopted for the purpose of rendering it impossible to burden by taxation accumulations of property, real or personal, except subject to the regulation of apportionment …relieve all income taxes when imposed from apportionment from a consideration of the source.” Brushaber v. Union Pacific Railroad 240 U.S. 1 (1916)

The Supreme Court and Magruder both use the word “impossible” while describing apportionment’s role on taxation. Magruder puts his conjecture above the High Court by claiming that what the Court stated: “…rendering it impossible to burden by taxation accumulations of property, real or personal, except subject to the regulation of apportionment.” is now possible with the 16 Amendment. Sorry Magruder, the Supremes disagree with your analysis: “The contentions under it (the 16th amendment), if acceded to would cause one provision of the Constitution to destroy another…” .” Brushaber 240 U.S. 1 (1916)

Who do you believe, Magruder’s contentions, or the Supreme Court rulings? The High Court has interpreted the 16th Amendment’s purpose (above) and its application in law (below):

“...it becomes essential to distinguish between what is and what is not 'income,' as the term is there used, and to apply the distinction, as cases arise, according to truth and substance, without regard to form. Congress cannot by any definition it may adopt, conclude the matter, since it cannot by legislation alter the Constitution , from which alone it derives its power to legislate” EISNER v MACOMBER, 252 US 189 (1920)

Hear no evil.

What are the consequences for keeping the truth out of America’s textbooks? Answer: virtually an entire population that is clueless concerning the limitations on our government’s lawful taxing authority. The infallible rulings given by the U.S. Supreme Court on this subject have somehow escaped the nation’s most learned doctors and professors. We put a very high priority on education in America, so what happened? If flirting with conspiracy theories is beneath you, then chalk it up to one of the worst cases of abuse ever perpetrated by the American teaching fraternity. Educational voodoo, like this “income” tax doctrine, makes it nearly impossible for Defendants to connect with juries on the truth. Ignorance makes for easy manipulation of jurors by sly judges. Jurors have no workable knowledge of apportionment’s purpose in keeping one’s wages safe from the clutches of plotting political and economic “scientists”. Private, unincorporated U. S. citizens, thanks to academia’s indoctrination, are now dragged into U.S. District Courts and charged with absurd things, like “willful failure to file”. The citizen juror, never having been exposed to the interpretive rulings from the Supreme Court, is clueless as to who is, or is not liable for the “income” tax. According to the Supreme Court: “...it becomes essential to distinguish between what is and what is not income…” EISNER v MACOMBER, 252 US 189 (1920)

“Evidently Congress adopted the income as the measure of the tax to be imposed with respect to the doing business in a corporate form...The annual gains of such corporations are certainly to be taken as income for the purpose of measuring the tax.” STRATTON’S INDEPENDENCE, LTD. HOWBERT, 231 US 399 (1913)

“…it manifestly disregards the fact that by previous ruling it was settled that the provisions of the 16th Amendment conferred no new power of taxation.”
STANTON v BALTIC MINING CO., 240 US 103 (1916)

(The 16th Amendment) does not “provide for any unknown power of taxation” BRUSHABER v UNION PACIFIC R. CO., 240 US 1 (1916):

Federal district judges, appointed for life, refuse to let defendants tell juries the truth of these and other High Court decisions. Thanks to our nation’s schools, no one is the wiser.

See no evil.

Federal district courts are only perpetuating a problem that was inculcated through many years of “education”. If our schools refuse to reference the High Court’s decisions regarding the 16th Amendment and the word” income” within it, efforts by litigating citizens for recognition of precedence law will have little chance of succeeding. We went to sleep long ago on this one. Now we are incensed by horrendous lower court decisions that harmonize with typical teaching, as in Magruder’s American Government.

Let’s be truthful here. How many of us do a little gloating about our children when we see them excel academically? It’s only natural to be a little prideful by Johnny or Jane’s acceptance into a university when asked by friends for updates on the family. We are so pleased to receive approval from our peers that we subconsciously excuse huge problems inherent in education (see no evil). This is no small issue that we can relegate to just a fuzzy detail within the subject of civics. Most will pay approximately one half of everything they earn in taxes; the largest portion of which will be withheld via W-4 “agreements” or surrendered through 1099 forms. The false teachings in American Government classes are the seeds which maturate over years of weeding the truth out. If you are mad at the courts, your anger at education should be at least double. Judges can only get away with this due to the prolonged grooming of the last two generations.

The contentions under the 16th Amendment have effectively lowered the U.S. citizen to slave status.: “The contentions under it (the 16th amendment), if acceded to would cause one provision of the Constitution to destroy another; that is, they would result in bringing the provisions of the amendment exempting a direct tax from apportionment into irreconcilable conflict with the general requirement that all direct taxes be apportioned. ...this result, instead of simplifying the situation and making clear the limitations on the taxing power...would create radical and destructive changes in our constitutional system and multiply confusion.” BRUSHABER v. UNION PACIFIC R. CO., 240 US 1 (1916)

The chaos caused by the confiscation of private property in the form of “income” taxes has done just that.

Cognitive Dissidence
Hear no evil. See no evil. Speak no evil.

Education is the culprit. It’s time we stopped giving our “educators” a free pass. They are to blame for blanketing the truth on the issue of income. School board officials are not appointed for life like U. S. District judges. Our school boards members are elected and serve one term at a time. They are subject to recall if they prove to be unresponsive to organized citizen inquiries. I hate to see so much patriot effort and energy go unrewarded in the judicial arena, when it’s education that’s giving birth to the ignorant and sponsoring lower court corruption. District court judges could not manipulate juries into bringing convictions of innocent citizens without the groomed products of our nation’s schools, the jurors. Our lower courts ignore precedence law because of the indoctrination instilled through the academy. Justice is represented with a set of scales held by a noble looking, blindfolded lady. We should have a national symbol for education, and specifically for its connection with inferior court judges. The hammer and sickle would be appropriate, but it’s not original enough. I would like to nominate three famous monkeys, the ones covering their mouths and ears can symbolize education and the third one covering his eyes is obviously mimicking the congressionally created lower court system. Right now those monkeys are too busy representing all of us. We have allowed ourselves to be flattered into a condition of silence and deafness by a system that praises our children, while at the same time grooms them to be little slaves for the master government that has gained control over our institutions of “higher learning”.

. Let’s get the monkeys off our backs by contacting our local school boards.

U.S. Court of Appeals Orders
Oral Arguments For September 18th

On Thursday, August 30, 2007, as we reported in the previous article, the United States Court of Appeals ruled that WTP does not have to turn over to the Government any information identifying people who have obtained materials from or donated money to WTP.

On Friday, August 31, 2007, the United States Court of Appeals issued a three-part order:

The Court added WTP's motion for a stay of Judge McAvoy's entire injunction order and to expedite the appeal to the substantive motions calendar for September 18, 2007.

In addition, the Court decided it wants to hear oral arguments on September 18, 2007.

Finally, the Court directed the Government to submit its written response to WTP's emergency motion ASAP.

"We are very pleased with the way the 2nd Circuit has been responding to our case," said Bob Schulz. "We fully expect that on September 18, or shortly thereafter, the Court will grant our motion to stay the lower Court's injunction order, allowing WTP to turn on its website, without fear of being held in contempt of Court by Judge McAvoy. We also expect the Appeals Court to expedite our appeal from the District Court's order, by setting a tight briefing schedule. Finally, we expect to prevail on the appeal: we expect the Appeals Court will reverse the lower Court's summary judgment order and dismiss the case. We expect the Court to see the transparent motive of the Government to use WTP's Speech related to the Blue Folder as a front, or pretext for its real objective -- to fully silence WTP and thereby shut down the Right to Petition program."

We gratefully acknowledge the warm response we have been receiving to our call last Friday for donations, and we respectfully request that everyone carefully consider sending a donation - either a monthly or a one-time donation. We have much to do and pay for as we prepare to file our landmark Right to Petition case with the United States Supreme Court, and as we appeal from Judge McAvoy's order.

Here is the text of the Court's order entered on Friday, August 31, 2007:

8/31/07 Motion for stay of injunctive order and to
expedite the appeal has been added to the
substantive motions calendar for September
18, 2007**TO BE ARGUED**; any responsive
papers to calendar ASAP. [Entry date Aug 31 2007] [JC]

Dramatic Development
U.S. Court of Appeals Rules WTP Does
Not Have To Disclose Identities of Supporters

As previously reported, on August 9, 2007, federal District Court Judge Thomas McAvoy issued a Decision and Order that granted IRS's motion for a Summary Judgment permanently enjoining Schulz and WTP from certain activities including "assisting in the preparation of a document related to a matter material to the internal revenue laws."

In addition, McAvoy ordered Schulz and WTP to turn over to the DOJ, by August 30, 2007, a list identifying all persons who have been provided "materials containing false information."

On Wednesday, August 29, 2007, Bob Schulz traveled to Albany, NY where he filed a Notice of Appeal to the United States Court of Appeals from the Decision and Order issued on August 9th by federal District Court Judge Thomas McAvoy. Click here for a copy of the Notice of Appeal. Bob and WTP expect to reverse McAvoy's Decision and Order.

On Thursday morning, August 30, 2007, Bob Schulz traveled to Manhattan where he filed an Emergency Motion with the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit to prevent District Court Judge Thomas McAvoy and the DOJ from enforcing the terms of Judge McAvoy's August 9th Order, at least until the Second Circuit has reached a determination of the merits of the appeal from that Order. Click here for a copy of Bob's Memorandum of Law in support of the motion to stay the enforcement of the District Court's Order pending appeal.

On Thursday, at 5 pm, the Emergency Judge on duty at the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, Judge Peter W. Hall, issued an Order preventing the enforcement of that part of McAvoy's Order "requiring production of identification information for the United States." Judge Hall then referred the motion by Bob and WTP for a stay of the entire order to a panel of three judges who will hear the motion for the Court of Appeals on September 18, 2007.

Please go to the WTP home page at www.GiveMeLiberty.org to access all the 6700 court pleadings and orders.

Although we are making slow but steady progress and are finally nearing the climactic judicial conclusion following several years of intense litigation that has been necessary to further our landmark constitutional issues and bring them before the nation's Highest Court, WTP is struggling financially. Please consider a one-time or recurring monthly donation. Please know that every little bit helps. It is not for want of will nor ideas that has slowed our battle -- only money. Please remember your donations are our only source of funding.

Please also note that although WTP has shut down virtually all of its website content, our supporters can still join our e-Mail list, donate, join the WTP Congress, and make Profile changes such as address, email, etc.

Judge Orders a Web Site Selling Tax-Evasion Advice to Close

2007-08-30T12:02:00.001-07:00

By DAVID CAY JOHNSTON
Published: August 30, 2007

A Web site that sells materials stating that individuals can legally stop paying taxes has been shut on the order of a federal judge.

Judge Thomas J. McAvoy, a senior judge in the Northern District of New York who issued the order on Aug. 9, wrote that the First Amendment did not protect the two organizations that operate the Web site, or their founder, because the site incited criminal conduct. Judge McAvoy ruled that some people who went to the Web site stopped paying taxes, causing the government harm.

Judge McAvoy also ordered that the names, addresses, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses and Social Security numbers of every person who received materials on how to stop paying taxes be turned over to the government.

This information would make it easy for the Internal Revenue Service to identify people who followed the illegal advice and for the Justice Department to prosecute them for tax crimes.

The civil court order is one of at least 245 permanent injunctions obtained by federal prospectors that prohibit individuals and organizations that deny the legitimacy of the tax laws or who sell tax evasion schemes from marketing their wares.

Robert L. Schulz of Queensbury, N.Y., the founder of both organizations behind the Web site — the We The People Foundation for Constitutional Education and the We The People Congress — posted the court order at the Web site givemeliberty.org, and closed the rest of the site even though he said yesterday that the order did not specify that he do so. He also said he had filed an appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.

His organization rose to prominence with a series of full-page newspaper ads, starting in 2001, asserting that the government tricks people into paying taxes. The ads solicited donations, which it said were fully tax-deductible.

Judge McAvoy, quoting from a declaration that Mr. Schulz sent to the court, said that Mr. Schulz wrote that he started “operation stop withholding” as “a national campaign to instruct company officials, workers and independent contractors on how to legally stop wage withholding.”

In a 25-page decision, the judge wrote that “undisputed evidence” established that Mr. Schulz and his organizations “knew, or had reason to know, that their statements were false.”

He said that because Mr. Schulz was taking $20 payments for a package of materials that supposedly showed how to legally stop paying taxes, the Web site could be shut down as commercial speech that urged criminal conduct.

Even if the Web site was not commercial in nature, Judge McAvoy said, it could be shut because people who followed the advice at the Web site engaged in criminal conduct.

“The First Amendment does not protect speech that incites imminent lawless action,” the judge wrote, citing a 1969 Supreme Court decision.

Because Mr. Schulz and his organization “are not merely advocating, but have gone the extra step in instructing others how to engage in illegal activity and have supplied the means to do so” the judge added, “their speech may be enjoined.”

American Slaves: IF THE SHOE FITS, WEAR IT!!

By: Raymond Ronald Karczewski©

Persecution is what happens to Real Men living in a Sissified world ruled by Tyrants.

Real men scare people with their Boldness, their Directness, their Assurance.
They Understand they are Sovereign and have long since matriculated from the School of Hard Knocks, the life changing transition experienced by all who will no longer bow and scrape before their Satanic masters as obedient Slaves and are ready to take their rightful position as Masters of their own lives.

Such men and women are rare indeed. They stick out like a sore thumb, and by contrast, mirror the average degraded, Satanically conditioned civilized individual. The contrast is shocking for most and it angers many. You see people just don't like being viewed as slaves. That is why they wear so many masks just to get through the day, living out their scripted and predictable lives.

These hopeless, impotent, civilized individuals take offense at the drop of a hat. They can't help it. They sold their souls a long time ago for the comforts of security, the prized possession of all Satanic serving slaves.

How do you know whether one is a Sovereign or a Slave? Watch what they say. Then watch what they do. Do their actions match their words? Are they integral, at-one, resonating in Truth?

Look at yourselves. Look at every one you know. Your wife, husband, mother, father, children, friends, associates. Look at them with clear eyes, as for the first time. By their Actions, They shall be known. By your actions, Ye shall be known. Words are cheap. Opinions are cheap. Judgments from such disintegrated human beings are even cheaper.

How do you stand up? Does such unvarnished Truth upset you? Do you need the "spoonful of sugar" to help the medicine go down?

Truth is the most valuable gift, you shall ever receive. Do you regard it as a gift, when "if the shoe fits, wear it" resonates within your very being? In such case, who is doing the judgment? Surely if the shoe fits, is it not you who are the sole judge of such and inexplicable discovery?

There is a reason for my writing to you in this manner. It is not meant to insult anyone, but to shock your all out of your comfortable newest and latest hypnotic trance that you have not even been aware that you are under.

You are all playing the satanic game of "Positive Imaged Fellowship", but it is the Satanic fellowship of the damned.

How long has this Forum been up. It has seen tremendous growth since its beginnings, has it not? But what has materially changed in the lives of Ed and Elaine Brown since the beginning of this forum? They're still prisoners in their own home by a government which refuses to SHOW THEM THE LAW which convicted them.

Government is motivated by NUMBERS, not individuals. THEY OBEY NUMBERS, THEY KILL INDIVIDUALS.

Their Tyranny will stop only when the NUMBERS become so great as to openly expose their Satanic Game and remove them from their fortress, built upon NOTHING BUT EMPTY WORDS. What the hell is wrong with your people? Can you not see that simple fact?.

In my view, each of you see yourselves as "good people" but in that positive imaged "goodness" you have betrayed Ed and Elaine with your all talk and no walk. Your words are empty. Your actions are empty, your spirit is empty.

The Ed and Elaine Brown radio program on REPUBLIC BROADCASTING NETWORK (RBN) has betrayed Ed and Elaine by not paying attention to Ed and Elaine's Clearcut Solution. If you are a SOVEREIGN, then DAMMIT, act like a SOVEREIGN. Yet each of you have failed the test of SOVEREIGN as Living, Breathing, Flesh-and-Blood, Sentient, Nature men and women.

You, the listening audience, look for anything to distract you from the action that is necessary to stop the Death March to the New World Order. Ed has told you what to do. I have told you AD-INFINITUM what must be done.

Demand of Government in a UNIFIED VOICE: "SHOW US THE LAW AND SHOW US YOUR JURISDICTION."

Until Servant Government does what their MASTERS tell them to do, ACT LIKE THE SOVEREIGNS YOU ARE AND TURN YOUR BACKS ON GOVERNMENT. BOYCOTT, BOYCOTT, BOYCOTT them. Refuse to cooperate in any and all phases of government, instead of allowing yourselves to be led around by that slavery ring in your noses, looking for any distraction to celebrate from your growing recognition of bondage.

Yes, I'm talking about deliberately programmed distractions of the Ed and Elaine program, using Ed and Elaine as a mind control focal point, while silly organizers look for anything and everything to celebrate, rather than act. The fact is that most of you are oblivious to what I am now referring. So let me make it clear.

Government will throw people in jail, but THEY WILL NOT SHOW THE LAW, NOR WILL THEY ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS regarding JURISDICTION over Living, Breathing, Flesh-and-Blood, Sentient, Natural men and women they have thrown in jail. As long as you are not the one being tossed into jail, what the HELL DO YOU CARE, EH?

You have been conditioned long ago to embrace the hypnotic suggestion, YOU CAN'T FIGHT CITY HALL." You have accepted its insinuation into your undiscriminating consciousness and so you make a great show of things, but nothing really happens.

You're too busy Celebrating images and icons which have enslaved you, locked you into your political and social "busy work." Currently you're celebrating Ron Paul, a professional politician. And now, most recently you are even drawn into the CELEBRATION of Aaron Russo's Death. Men live. Men die. Must a man die, before you will act? What does that say about you?

You watch with great interest the busy work of Bob Schultz and "We the People Foundation" who play the "slave game" very well. They wouldn't know a Sovereign if one walked up and bit them in the behind. The Government plays the tune, and they dance to it. Endless, endless, meaningless legal actions which go nowhere because our government no longer follow God's Law, Common Law, or Constitutional Law. Hell, THE COURTS MAKE IT UP AS THEY GO ALONG. As for We the People, they are all show and no Go. They capitulate and play by the rules of their opponents. Who does not know by now that "those who make the rules win the game."

Have you noticed, Ed and Elaine don't play by the Rules of their Servant Government. Have you noticed that I don't play by the rules of my servant government? Why? Because we understand what it means to be a SOVEREIGN. We understand the True relationship between ourselves and government and WE DON'T PLAY THEIR GAME, unless they can SHOW US THE LAW AND SHOW US PROOF OF JURISDICTION.

Our words are our actions, our action are our words. WE live Truth, while you experience starved arm-chair quarterbacks merely speculate about it.

Harsh words, or DOES THE SHOE FIT??? You be the judge!

Overt Lawlessness: A Good Sign

2007-08-29T13:20:00.000-07:00

By Larken Rose

Sometimes I wonder why the IRS still bothers to pretend that what
it does is administering the law. Off hand, I can't think of ANY
law or procedure which I HAVEN'T seen the IRS blatantly ignore.
Here are just a few of the things the IRS has done wrong, just in
the cases I'm personally familiar with (and this is just off the
top of my head):

Failure to give Examinations meeting (26 CFR 601.105)
Failure to give Appeals meeting (26 CFR 601.106)
Failure to give Collections Due Process hearing (26 USC 6330)
Refusal to allow recording of meetings (26 USC 7521) (Even the Tax
Court chastised them for that one.)
Demands for sums known to be grossly inaccurate (aside from the
question of what income is taxable) (26 USC 7214)
Repeated use of the outlawed "tax protestor" term (Section 3707,
RRA 1998) (Even TIGTA reports that this is still happening every
year.)
Failure to comply with Freedom Of Information Act (5 USC 552)
Making assessments not conforming to the law (26 USC 6203)
Executing levies without giving notice (26 USC 6331)
Outright refusal to process claims for refund (26 CFR 601.105)

The list goes on and on. Take, for example, a few of the things
done by the IRS bureaucrat currently on my case (Mr. Ted
Tsarouchis). For those who don't know, in order to avoid extra
YEARS of imprisonment, Tessa and I filed back returns prior to my
sentencing, falsely reporting our income as if it were taxable
(when we know it isn't). Having paid off most of the hefty alleged
liabilities (by mortgaging our house to the max), I then applied
for an "installment agreement" with the IRS to pay off the rest.

Agent Tsarouchis responded by demanding payment in full, failing to
inform me (as instructed in IRS procedures) that if I paid down the
balance to below $25,000, I would qualify for a "streamlined"
installment agreement. After I found that out myself and paid the
balance down below $25,000, Agent Tsarouchis then refused my offer
for a "streamlined" agreement, saying he thought I could pay the
whole thing. This was AFTER I quoted to him the IRM saying that for
"streamlined" agreements, it doesn't MATTER if the IRS thinks the
person can pay off the whole thing (IRM, Section 5.14.5.2(10)).

Then he again demanded payment in full, and failed to tell me about
GUARANTEED installment agreements. I found out myself that when a
liability, NOT including interest and penalties, is below $10,000,
the IRS is required by law to grant an installment agreement if it
meets certain criteria (IRM, § 5.14.5.3(3)). In our case, the
(alleged) principle had long since been paid off completely, which
the agent well knew, yet the IRS not only didn't tell me about such
guaranteed installment agreements, but DENIED my proposed
agreement, even when the law specifically and clearly required them
to grant it, and they knew it. (During all of this, the amount they
alleged I owed would wildly fluctuate by thousands of dollars,
without any hint as to the reason.)

Finally, after rubbing their faces in the law over and over again,
they granted what 26 USC § 6159 said they HAD to grant me in the
first place. So now they get $600 a month from me--which is less
than a third of my original (probably overly-ambitious) offer to
them.

Bizarrely, with the installment agreement in place, the IRS then
sent Tessa a letter, saying they had never received a return for
2003, and demanding around $40,000. So we sent them the IRS' own
letter, showing that an installment agreement was already in place
for that year, which of course meant they DID have those returns.
Nope, they ignored our letter, and went ahead and filed a Notice of
Deficiency, double-billing Tessa for what we paid off a year ago.
Fortunately, at this point I think that one is almost resolved
(maybe).

In all of this, had I not known where to look, or had I not gone to
the trouble of finding out what THEIR rules say, what would have
happened? I would have been illegally extorted and robbed. And even
when I did demonstrate that they were blatantly violating the law,
to the point where they finally caved (after months of
stonewalling), what will happen to the IRS folk who ignored the law
in the first place? Absolutely nothing.

In fact, in the cases I'm familiar with, I have NEVER heard of any
IRS agent being punished, or even reprimanded, for refusing to obey
the law. As an IRS whistle-blower explained at congressional
hearings, IRS management knows of, allows, and even CONDONES
illegal actions by IRS agents. In fact, in October of 2004, the
mainstream press broke the story that the IRS wasn't even firing
IRS employees who were failing to file their own tax returns,
though the law (Section 1203, RRA 1998) REQUIRES such firings.

Sorry for the long-winded complaint, but there is a point to all
this (other than me whining about the IRS' behavior). The law
DOESN'T MATTER to these people. And it doesn't matter to Congress
or the courts, either. They pretend to care what the law says, just
enough to keep up the facade that their extortion tactics are in
some way legitimate. But that facade is getting more and more
flimsy.

As a result, efforts to find some magic words or some fancy
procedure which will suddenly make the IRS be nice are a waste of
time. If a person here and there finds a way to avoid being
extorted, that's great. But those in power don't even care about
the most basic laws and rules--they violate them constantly--so
what reason is there to think that there could EVER be a reliable
"procedural" solution? There isn't a procedural solution to the IRS
any more than there is a procedural solution to the Mafia or a car-
jacker.

I still occasionally get comments from people rebuking me for
expecting the "system" to do the right thing in my case. For the
umpteenth time, I have NEVER expect the system to do the right
thing, and I was saying that long before I ever went to trial. I
did, however, have some small hope that a jury of "regular"
Americans might do the right thing. In some cases they have--e.g.,
Tommy Cryer, Joe Banister, Vernice Kuglin--in others they didn't.
My goal was, and is, quite simple: I will do things the right way,
the government will lie and cheat, and whether I win or lose, I
will publicize their behavior.

The number of ways in which "the system" lied and cheated in my
case could fill a book--and in fact, it DID fill a book, which is
now in the editing stage. But, as always, my goal is NOT to give
advice on how to combat the system, nor is it to complain about
what they did to me--it is to make public how these people behave,
and what they are, for all the world to see.

Oddly, the blatant lawlessness of the IRS may, in a twisted way, be
a good sign. History shows that people don't usually fight back
against government misconduct until it's really dang obvious.
Furthermore, it is a sign of panic and desperation when a
"government" starts being openly fascist, and "forgets" to keep up
the show of due process, justice, rule of law, etc. For a lot of
people, the true nature of the IRS--as extortionistic terrorists,
rather than "tax collectors"--is becoming more and more obvious.
And public opinion and education is still a very potent weapon, and
one which those in power are scared to death of. So don't stop
telling the truth.

Back to the Future with Aaron Russo

2007-08-26T16:29:00.000-07:00

By Bill Price

Aaron Russo brought America back to the future. America was living in the fog of the past until Russo’s vision, the memory of a shared dream, was brought back into full view. But, that dream was destined to collide with another dream created out of the past. A dream conjured by George Orwell in his famous novel, 1984. Aaron’s formal quest for truth became a continuation of the phenomenon first seen in the ghost released through Orwell’s book. The specter raised through Orwell’s ghost of the future (big brother) was courageously confronted and then catapulted into the American consciousness by Aaron Russo. Aaron’s work has become a permanent landmark for courage and freedom, not only here in America, but the entire world. I talked to Aaron only twice in my life, but was tremendously impressed with his simplicity and candor in our brief conversations.

A line in one of Bob Dylan’s songs served as an open challenge to all who claimed the talent, skill and most importantly, the humanity to carry on the dream for truth in our future:

“Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen – keep your eyes open wide, this chance won’t come again – and don’t speak too soon for the wheel is still in spin, and there’s no telling who it will be naming …. for the times they are a changing…” Bob Dylan 1964.

Aaron knew the times had changed drastically and deciphered the wheel of fate when it came to rest. People were named, places and dates revealed, and the future, now, due in a large part to Aaron Russo, occupies a place in our minds and hearts.

To me, Aaron’s persona will always be animated by the words of another famous song writer: “And, as I watched him standing on the stage my hands were clinched in fists of rage. No angle born in Hell could break that Satan’s spell. And as the flames climbed high into the night to light the sacrificial rite I saw Satan laughing with delight the day the music died”. Don Mclean, “American Pie”. Aaron saw the flames burning away at America’s soul and with total abandon, gave his remaining energy to save us, the sacrifice. He knew that the truth is more powerful than all of the weapons in our adversary’s arsenal, and became the most prominent social crusader in the cause to use it. We will never, never forget you, Aaron Russo.

Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord, and may the souls of the faithfully departed through the mercy of God rest in peace.

Not all the media are biased. A local newspaper in New Hampshire reported
on an annual GOP bbq in the town of Hollis. It could be called "the Ron
Paul show," they said, since the far bigger crowd that usual consisted
mostly of our supporters. One volunteer even rented an airplane and flew a
wonderful sign around the sky. What great, creative, self-starting people
I'm meeting, at every stop, all of them united by a love of America and
American freedom.

Politics is usually about division. But this campaign is just the
opposite. Not only are our volunteers a bunch of happy warriors, but they
also practice the virtues of tolerance and peace, just as they want the
nation to do.

The other day, the state chairman of an opposing campaign (not in New
Hampshire!), angrily tore a sign out of one of our supporter's hands and
trashed it. Different people with different beliefs might have responded
differently. But our people, though they'd been standing in the rain all
day, applied the Golden Rule. It's because of quiet heroes that I know we
can change this country.

A reporter in New Hampshire told me this story about Florida: she had seen
the same three supporters working every day passing out our literature, and
so decided to interview them. She was startled to discover that one was a
Republican, one was a Democrat, and one was an Independent. But I wasn't.

Freedom brings us all together. We can all agree on leaving people alone to
plan and live their own lives, rather than trying to force them to obey at
the point of a gun, as runaway government does. Instead of clawing at each
other via the warfare-welfare state, people under liberty can cooperate in a
unity of diversity.

There is no need to use government to threaten others who have different
standards, or to be threatened by them. Looking to our Founders, our
traditions, and the Constitution, we can build, in peaceful cooperation, a
free and prosperous society.

At a talk show in Nashua, New Hampshire, the host asked me about the fair
tax. Well, I agree on getting rid of the IRS, I told her, but I want to
replace it with nothing, not another tax. But let's not forget the
inflation tax, I said.

This was something she had never considered, but after I talked about the
depreciation of our dollar by the Federal Reserve, its creation of
artificial booms and busts, and its bailouts of the big banks and Wall
Street firms, to the detriment of the average person, she loved it. That is
another tax, she agreed, a hidden and particularly vicious tax.

They try to tell us that the money issue is boring or irrelevant. In fact,
it is the very pith of our social lives, and morally, Constitutionally, and
economically, the central bank is a disaster. Thanks to the work of this
movement, Americans are starting to understand what has been hidden from
them for so long: that we have a right to sound and honest money, not to a
dollar debauched for the special interests.

Unconstitutional government has created a war crisis, a financial crisis, a
dollar crisis, and a freedom crisis. But we don't have to take it. We
don't have to passively accept more dead soldiers, a lower standard of
living, rising prices, a national ID, eavesdropping on our emails and phone
calls, and all the rest.

We can return to first principles, and build the brightest, most brilliant
future any people on earth has ever aspired to. Help me teach this lesson.
Help me campaign all over this country, in cooperation with our huge and
growing volunteer army. Help me show that change is not only possible, but
also essential. Please, make your most generous contribution
(https://www.ronpaul2008.com/donate/) to this campaign for a Constitutional
presidency worthy of our people. Invest in freedom: for yourself, for your
family, for your future.

Larken Rose Comments On Tom Cryer

Subject : Comments on Cryer

Dear Subscriber,

I just finished reading the trial transcripts of the case of Tommy
Cryer, the Louisiana lawyer recently ACQUITTED of "willful failure
to file." I only have a few comments about it:

1) First, the judge at his trial was both extremely obnoxious and
an idiot. (Well, maybe he was intentionally lying instead, but I'll
give him the benefit of the doubt that he was merely an idiot.)
Aside from being excessively rude and condescending towards Larry
Becraft, Mr. Cryer's attorney, as Mr. Cryer was testifying about
his beliefs, the judge kept completely mischaracterizing them as
beliefs that the tax laws are invalid or unconstitutional, which
anyone paying attention could see that Mr. Cryer was NOT at all
saying.

2) The prosecutor, though at first he came across (just from the
transcripts) as less of a @#$@$% than the ones in my case, either
tried to confuse the jury about the difference between
"disagreeing" with the law and believing you don't owe--or he
actually didn't understand the difference himself. Under the
concept of "willfulness," if you believe that the law doesn't tax
your income, you CAN'T be guilty of "willfulness," even if you're
dead wrong (i.e., even if your conclusions conflict with, or
"disagree" with the law itself). However, if you believe you DO owe
the tax, but you think the law is unconstitutional, unfair, etc.--
in other words, if you "disagree" with the tax ON PRINCIPLE--then
that is NOT a defense to "willfulness." Mr. Cryer was obviously
doing the former, but the prosecutor kept trying to paint that as a
"disagreement" with the law, which is NOT what the Supreme Court
meant by that when they said it in the Cheek decision.

3) When I finished reading the government's case (having not yet
read the defense case), I was completely stunned. Their entire case
consisted of proving that Mr. Cryer had made money, and hadn't
filed--which weren't even in question. The only thing that was even
remotely relevant to the essential element of "willfulness" was one
CID goon saying that Mr. Cryer's arguments were "frivolous"--which
is a little odd, because Mr. Cryer hadn't ARGUED anything at that
point. The fact that the government can be so horribly sloppy,
resorting only to envy and demonization, instead of even bothering
to try to prove that a crime was actually committed, not only
reflects badly on the "government" drones, but also on the American
people. Have we become so stupid that, in order to get a jury to
convict, all you have to do is say, "He's a meanie poopoohead, who
didn't do what he was told!"? Unfortunately, yes: most of "us" are
that stupid, as demonstrated by my trial, Dr. Tom's trial, and
Tessa's trial (among others). Thankfully, by some stroke of luck,
someone with a brain must have ended up on Mr. Cryer's jury, and
ended that particular witch-hunt.

4) To me, the funniest moment was when Mr. Cryer's secretary,
testifying as a witness for the government, blurted out something
like, "After Mr. Cryer learned that we are not liable for this
tax..." Of course, the government objected. But then the prosecutor
used the secretary's decision to continue to file herself as if it
proved that she didn't believe Mr. Cryer's conclusions, after
having STOPPED the defense from pointing out that maybe she kept
filing because she didn't want to be terrorized and prosecuted by
the feds. But what kind of goofy logic would that be anyway??:
"You, as a very accomplished, experienced, well-respected lawyer,
CAN'T have thought your conclusions were correct, because your
SECRETARY didn't agree with them (allegedly)." Huh? Anyway, the
government's non-existent case failed to dupe the jury, and that's
all that matters.

Sincerely,

Larken Rose
www.larkenrose.com

(P.S. Though the 861 evidence came up briefly at trial, as one of
the things which convinced Mr. Cryer that he didn't owe the tax,
there were other issues as well, some of which I disagree with.
Unlike the federal fascists, however, I don't want people put in
cages because they disagree with me. I am thrilled that Mr. Cryer
remains a free man... or rather, as "free" as one can be in this
country at present.)

Hollis Wayne Fincher of Arkansas

Subject : NOW YOUR NOT EVEN ALLOWED TO TALK IN YOUR DEFENSE.

Everyone should be aware of what is happening to Hollis Wayne Fincher of Arkansas. Fincher's case is to the second amendment as Ed Brown's case is to the 4th and 5th amendments.

Wayne Fincher, age 61 (IIRC), is Lt. Commander of the Militia of Washington County, Arkansas ( www.arkansasmilitia.com ). He has done a great deal of legal research and argues that present firearms laws are unconstitutional and that if arms are necessary to a militia for defense, then logically military weapons such as machine guns should be legal. Therefore he assembled a Sten submachine gun and posted his photo on the militia's home page, carrying the fully operational Sten. He has published a legal paper, The Silver Bullet, on this subject.

The BATF brought in a confidential informant, and based on his information they raided Fincher's home and seized several automatic weapons. He was then sent to one of the worst kangaroo courts I've seen. The judge made Fincher testify for an hour in the absence of the jury to see what he was going to say, and then the judge decided he didn't like it, because Fincher was challenging the law rather than trying to claim he had not possessed the weapons. So... well, see for yourselves:

Quote:

From this article.

Judge refuses to allow militia leader's testimony

FAYETTEVILLE -- Hollis Wayne Fincher's machine gun trial will go to the jury today with the defense having presented no evidence or witnesses to the jury.

The defense rested Thursday after U.S. District Judge Jimm Larry Hendren ruled Fincher's proposed testimony inadmissible.

Fincher testified for more than an hour with the jury out of the courtroom so Hendren could decide if his testimony was admissible.

Hendren has repeatedly ruled the defense can attack the government's evidence but not the law that applies to the case.

A major issue has been whether the Militia of Washington County is a valid state militia for second amendment purposes. Hendren ruled it's not.

The judge disallowed Fincher's entire defense, not just his testimony.

Incidentally, Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, a presidential candidate who claims he supports the second amendment, furnished the court with a statement that the Washington County Militia was not an official state militia. On this basis, the judge ruled Fincher had no right to the weapons.

So Wayne Fincher is looking at jail time unless his appeal is successful. A few days after his arrest, the militia building was attacked by an arsonist.

Bearing arms

2007-08-13T19:07:00.001-07:00

Scott McPherson
August 13, 2007

The men who founded our nation understood that government was necessary to preserve the people's freedoms. But they also knew that government agents could not always be trusted to use their authority justly, and that government remains the single greatest threat to the rights and liberties of the people.

America's Founding Fathers knew that freedom required that the people always retain the ability to take government out of the hands of abusive officials, "to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security." This was far from just some lofty theory to the Founders. They had witnessed oppressive government firsthand and had seen this principle unfold in dramatic practice as thousands of armed citizens took up their muskets and drove the king's soldiers — their government's soldiers — back to Boston on April 19, 1775. The United States was born out of the fight against tyranny.

Most important, the Framers remembered this when they created a new Constitution. To ensure that government remains in the hands of the people, the Second Amendment guaranteed that the citizen militia would remain sacrosanct.

The right of the people to keep and bear arms is the least understood of all rights mentioned in the Constitution. Few today have any idea of the true meaning and intent of this provision, and most people are more likely to deride this right either as an archaic and unnecessary remnant of an embarrassing past, or at best merely some benign assurance that "sportsmen" will be able to go hunting. Neither is true.

The right of the people to keep and bear arms is an important and integral part of what it means to be an American. In fact, it could be said to represent the most important and integral part of being an American. When our ancestors followed the example of half the state governments and included a "right to arms" provision in the Federal Bill of Rights, they unapologetically and irrefutably established a nation of free and autonomous individuals.

By granting legal and moral recognition to the right to keep and bear arms in the Constitution — "the law of the land" — Americans made concrete in practice that every single free citizen would remain the final repository of political power. Early American statesmen were following the sage advice of such men as the Scottish philosopher and militia advocate Andrew Fletcher, who argued that "arms are the only true badges of liberty," providing "the distinction of a free man from a slave."

Without arms, the people's rights could too easily become prey to the whim of an ambitious executive, the edicts of a corrupt legislature or the proclamations of false-hearted judges. Under an armed citizenry, this becomes much more difficult. Government must proceed carefully when exercising power, lest a "long Train of Abuses and Usurpations" inspire the people to again water the "tree of liberty . . . with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

In no other culture and under no other government has the importance of an armed citizenry been made so explicit or as carefully guaranteed as it has under the American constitutional order. While both ancient Rome and the British Parliament paid statutory lip service to the value of being armed, only in the United States was being armed recognized as an inviolable right protected by the Constitution. What started with gunfire at Lexington and Concord ended with the words of Tench Coxe, a friend of James Madison: "Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birth-right of an American. . . . [The] unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people."

James Madison also understood the ultimate, fail-safe role of the citizen militia. In Federalist 46, he dismissed fears of a standing army being used against the people because it "would be opposed [by] a militia. . . with arms in their hands." A few years later he would write what became the Second Amendment, with its promise that "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed."

If the average person today wonders about his relationship to his government, the Second Amendment provides ample guidance. It represents the ideal of American political and social life: the individual, self-governing, self-motivated, self-respecting, dignified, free citizen — who takes these virtues so seriously that he will maintain the personal power to back them up.

Bloody Knives

Subject : Bloody Knives

Dear Subscriber,

One night you're walking through the city, when from an alley you
hear screams of agony. At first it's too dark to see, but then a
man comes running into view, a bloody butcher's knife clutched in
his hand. Seeing your expression, he hesitates, then says, "Oh,
don't worry, that was just my girlfriend; she stubbed her toe." So
you go on about your business, putting the incident out of your
mind, forgetting it ever happened. The end.

-------------------

Just about anyone with a brain, after reading the above story,
would immediately think, "But what about the bloody knife??" A
stubbed toe doesn't explain the bloody knife. But hey, the guy TOLD
you that's all it was, so who are you to keep asking frivolous
questions about what happened?

And so it is with the "income tax" deception, and the 861 evidence.
There are piles of proverbial "bloody knives" lying around, which
the feds have never even TRIED to explain. But they TOLD you we all
owe the tax, and just for good measure, they persecuted, robbed,
imprisoned, and/or silenced the people who suggested otherwise.
Isn't that enough? You don't STILL want explanations for all those
bloody knives, do you? Just mind your own damn business, and forget
you ever saw them.

Here are some of the "bloody knives" which have been made public
for anyone who wants to see them, but which, as far as I know, the
feds have never even TRIED to explain:

1) Many decades of income tax regulations very specifically said
that, in addition to those types of income specifically exempted
from tax by the tax code, some OTHER income is also tax-free
because of the Constitution itself.

Like what? For a moment, never mind what I think the answer is, or
what you think the answer is. THOUSANDS of Americans have asked the
IRS the question, and I have yet to see ANY answer, or even any
MENTION of the question or the regulations which say that, coming
from anyone in government, in any of the three branches. SOMETHING
is Constitutionally excluded--their own law books say so in plain
English. And yet I have NEVER seen them say a word about that. They
just leave that "bloody knife" sitting there in plain view, with
nary a WORD about it, hoping you'll forget you ever saw it.

2) After saying that the "items" of income listed in Section 61 are
sometimes exempt, the current regulations give a list of types of
income which are NOT exempt--i.e., which ARE taxable. The list,
which you can go look up yourself (1.861-8T(d)(2)(iii)), includes
four types of international trade. No mention is made of the
domestic income of the average American.

What's the purpose of that list? And why isn't OUR income on the
list, if we actually owe the tax? Once again, set aside any answer
you and I might suggest; why has no one in any of the three
branches of government ever given any answer or explanation of
that, or even MENTIONED that particular regulation? Another
unexplained "bloody knife," left right out in the open.

3) In the older version of the tax codes, there was a section which
very plainly stated that in the case of FOREIGNERS, and in the case
of Americans with POSSESSIONS income, compensation for services
performed inside the U.S. (as well as other kinds of domestic
income) is, after subtracting allowable deductions, to be included
in full as TAXABLE income.

Isn't such income taxable for ALL U.S. citizens? That's obviously
what the feds want us to think. So why would there be a section
saying it's taxable in the case of foreigners and CERTAIN
Americans? I have an answer, and you might too, but I have NEVER
seen anyone in any of the three branches of government answer that
question, or discuss that section of law at all.

There are many more proverbial "bloody knives," but that will do
for now. At least as far back as 1998, thousands of Americans have
been asking about these things. They get the usual insults
("frivolous!") and threats ("you'll get in trouble!"), and even an
occasional baseless assertion or two. But many of the
"inconvenient" pieces of evidence just get ignored entirely. The
feds say NOTHING about them, acting as if they're not there, in the
hopes that we'll all forget about the pile of bloody knives on
their front doorstep. (In case you're wondering, I brought up all
three of the above-mentioned "bloody knives" at my trial, in
addition to others, and neither the prosecutors nor the judge ever
said ONE WORD about them.)

The objective, thinking scientific mind seeks to explain evidence,
rather than looking for an excuse to IGNORE it. I put together my
"Taxable Income" report in 1998, revised and updated it repeatedly,
and then recently rewrote the entire thing from scratch (whilst in
prison for the crime I didn't commit), for the benefit of anyone
who actually WANTS to see how all the evidence fits together. You
won't ever see the feds doing anything of the kind. If you're
lucky, you'll get one or two baseless assertions (e.g., "You're not
supposed to use 861!"), but you'll NEVER see them lay out all the
evidence, explaining it piece by piece, showing how all the pieces
fit together into a complete and logical picture supporting their
position (because it doesn't). In short, for eight YEARS it's been
a one-sided "debate": while we give comprehensive explanations,
with numerous supporting citations, they say "Frivolous! Shut up!"
And they hope people don't notice all the bloody knives.

Well, for anyone who's interested in learning more about the
"bloody knives," you too can now have your very own copy of my
recent updated, much-improved "Taxable Income" report, for the low,
low price of... zero dollars and zero cents (just like it's always
been). Just look for the link at the bottom of the following web

The Impossible Dream

2007-08-09T14:32:00.000-07:00

By Bill Price

People are demanding that government show the law that makes private, unincorporated U.S. citizens liable for an individual federal income tax. But, that’s impossible! Who says? The U.S. Constitution and the Supreme Court, that’s who! I call your attention to the following Supreme Court ruling, precedence law: “…concluding that the classification of direct was adopted for the purposes of rendering it impossible to burden by taxation accumulations of property, real or personal, except subject to the regulation of apportionment.” BRUSHABER v UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD CO. 240 U.S. 1 (1916)

and

Article I § 2 cl. 3: “Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included in this Union, according to their respective numbers…”

The above precedence law has been combined with Article I § 2 cl. 3, to forge the supreme law of the land, per Article VI: “The Constitution, and the Laws the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; … shall be the supreme law of the land.”
Whose dream is impossible? Officialdom’s present position regarding the individual income tax is merely a dreamy obsession to collect a tribute from all that dare trade their labor for compensation/wages. Their position cannot currently be justified in law (see the above). “We the people” on the other hand realistically expect and demand that our government officials uphold the constitution and the laws in pursuance of it? The supreme law of the land is being violated. The usual culprits, ignorance and neglect, are only partly responsible; a cunning seduction has played the primary role.

Seduction

“Mundus vult decipi.” There is more than one way to interpret this Latin phrase. P. T. Barnum would probably cipher it as “There is a sucker born every minute”, but the literal translation is “The world wants to be deceived”. And so, let the world be deceived. We have been seduced to follow a pseudo plan that things will be alright without the vigilances liberty always requires. Buying that notion numbs a normal conscience. The appeal is undeniable. Who wants to worry about the Constitution, law, and politics? The difference in effort to maintain the fruit of truth in reality and the immediate relief found in a mushy substitute is like the work required for procuring coconut from its ugly hairy husk, as compared to the slick easy peel of a banana. It takes a lot of work to get at the sweetness in the truth. It’s not that the truth is so hard to understand, it’s all the work in fighting the easy banana type temptations. Let’s face it; our nature is to take the easy road. For example, in the case of “Apportionment”, its meaning is simple. It would be easily grasped by pupils if our nation’s schools would ever take an hour or so to introduce this crucial concept. The easy benefits of silence have seduced the nation’s intelligentsia. Our collective inclination for compromise so far outweighs the effort required in defending truth. This grand deception has resulted in the pervasive misapplication of the individual federal income tax (a trillion dollar tax scheme). If you were to ponder the meaning of the word “apportionment” (a division into proportionate shares) for a few moments, you, likely, will never think the same way on the issue of income taxes again. The Constitution in Article1 mentioned above, unequivocally states that direct taxes cannot be imposed unless they are apportioned first. The Supreme Court backs up Article1’s demand. The Code of Federal Regulations in 19 CFR 351.102 lists wages as one of the subjects classified as a direct tax, therefore, subject to the rule of apportionment. The last time the Congress voted to apportion a direct tax was in 1861, during the Civil War. The current direct taxes (federal income taxes) have not been apportioned, and are being imposed on the banana brains and the coconuts heads out here as part of a seductive compromise that began in 1942 with the Victory Tax Act. Along with the sale of war bonds the Victory tax was touted as the way to bring an early end to World War II and get our boys back home.

Reality, which one?

There are two. Christ said “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, do I give unto you.” According to Christ, there are two realities, the world’s reality which may or may not include the truth, and the unadulterated truth. Our reality in the USA is that Caesar (the government) has authority, and it does. But does it have the truth? This is a very old problem. Government demanding obedience to their authority is a given, but when their demand comes at the expense of the truth, realities collide. If you are a private citizen working for a private company, such as Ford Motor Co., the individual income tax is automatically deducted from your paycheck. A condition of employment is a signed W-4 form confirming your alleged income tax liability. If you later refuse to go along with the liability game by submitting another W-4 claiming exempt in the box provided for such exemptions, the “repercussions” will eventually follow. But, the decision to go along, while understandable, tragically leaves the truth on the outside. The government has placed us in the untenable position of pitting our obedience to them against the truth in the Constitution and the law. Now let’s say that the people filling out the form 1040 write on the bottom that they are paying the tax under duress, and that the individual income tax is a direct tax on their labor and as such a violation of the Constitutional requirement demanded in Article 1 § 2 part 3 and § 9 part 4 for apportionment. How long do you think the “pay your fair share” motto would continue then? If you are raising a family you are compelled protect yourself from the strong-arm tactics of the government by “rendering” to Caesar, but nothing should be stopping you from proclaiming the truth to Caesar. I don’t entirely blame people for buying into the deception that officialdom is only asking us to do “our share”. But, compromising in order to nurse a troubled conscience amounts to just peeling another banana. Consoling ourselves with mushy “I pay my fair share” disguises will only delay the inevitable collision of realities. Where will all our educators be when confronted with the inevitable accusations that for decades they have omitted obvious truths? The truth is the only way. “…they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them a strong delusion, that they should believe the lie.” 2 Thess. 2: 10-12 “Mundus vult decipi.” The world wants to be deceived.

Apportionment is the Key

Understanding apportionment will destroy our natural susceptibility to the deception. If you have never considered apportionment’s role in limiting the government’s taxing authority, you may want to read the following personification of “apportionment” or Lady “A”, as she is referred to in the “Crime of the Century”. “A fructibus eorum cognoscetis eos.” By their fruits you shall know them. Maybe it’s time we reexamined our elected representatives. Do we know them by the speeches they have made or by the fruit they have born?

Crime of the Century

Apportionment’s body discovered! Mutilated remains found.

Lady A (by all that knew and loved her) was discovered while excavation for the new law library in Washington D.C got under way. The cause of death is still being investigated, but preliminary findings by forensic experts indicate multiple blunt force wounds as the cause. A 16 inch instrument next to the body is believed to be the weapon. The time of death was estimated to be 1942. Apportionment was 155 years old and had two different addresses listed, Article I § 2 cl. 3 and Article I § 9 cl. 4 U.S. Constitution Ave., PA. Apportionment (Lady A) is survived by all U.S. citizens and is being laid out for public viewing in this story.

Lady Apportionment lived an illustrious life. For 155 years she protected all U.S. citizens from property loss. Apportionment was described by Mr. Black in his Law Dictionary as a perfect “Division into proportionate shares”. From her birth in 1787, Apportionment lived up to her noble constitutional mission by fiercely protecting every citizen’s property rights, resolutely insisting on her principle of proportionate shares whenever governmental intruders demanded direct taxes from the private property/money of their constituents (we the people). One of A’s more notable victories was chronicled in a famous Supreme Court decision, “Pollock v Farmers’ Loan and Trust Co.”. That day, Lady Apportionment used her constitutional mandate of proportionate shares as the shinning beacon to guide a majority of jurists on the High Court to truth and justice. The Court, guided by Lady A, struck down the deceitful portion of the U.S. Congress’s 1894 Income Tax Act. The Act was judged according to Lady A’s brilliant constitutional insight and the High Court declared: “...that such tax is a direct tax, and void because imposed without regard to the rule of apportionment; and that by reason thereof the whole law is invalidated.” POLLOCK v FARMERS’ LOAN & TRUST CO., 157 US 429 (1895)

Lady Apportionment fought relentlessly for generations, beating back governmental forays designed to exploit private property/money rights guaranteed to all U.S. citizens. Her principle was simple, just and written on the door of her address at Article I § 2 cl. 3: “Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included in this Union, according to their respective numbers…”
Lady A’s constitutional mandate for the preservation of individual property rights will be remembered as the primary bulwark in our country’s fight for liberty. Her untimely death will be continually mourned with each new un-apportioned property right abuse committed by unrestrained government agents and “legislators”. The Supreme Court, if they choose to eulogize her, would naturally include its ringing endorsement of Lady “A’s” maxim; “…concluding that the classification of direct was adopted for the purposes of rendering it impossible to burden by taxation accumulations of property, real or personal, except subject to the regulation of apportionment.” BRUSHABER v UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD CO. 240 U.S. 1 (1916) These Supreme Court rulings have ensconced Lady Apportionment’s maxim into decisional law, the highest law of the land.

It has been reported that virtually every private, unincorporated U.S. citizen has suffered repeated attacks on their private property and liberty since the murder of Apportionment in 1942. Governmental agencies, corporations and paid collection institutions, such as the IRS have collaborated with the Justice Department to deprive private U.S. citizens of their constitutional protections against the imposition of direct un-apportioned taxes.

If anyone has information relating to the brutal murder of Apportionment you are “encouraged” to report it to the Treasury Inspector General for “Tax Administration” TIGTA. TIGTA provides complaint forms to begin investigations of Constitutional deprivations and is, apparently, “mystified” about Lady “A’s” long disappearance and apparent murder.

For more details on the circumstances at the time of Lady A’s murder, get the free flyer “withholding a la Manhattan” @ www.article1-taxation.com Many patriot organizations taking the lead in the current investigation can assist those who have information related to the crime.

A mysterious note was found rolled around the 16 inch murder weapon at the scene of the crime. The note is reprinted here and may lead to additional clues in Lady A’s murder: “The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several states, and without regard to any census or enumeration.”

The above note is regarded as an important clue into the motive of lady “A’s” vicious murder. Current leads have indicated the identity of an accomplice going under the name of Fraud. For his apparent connection with Lady Apportionment’s murder, Mr. Fraud will be arraigned at the Court of Public Opinion. Any additional information leading to an arrest and conviction will likely be used in discussions for reparations. The theft of personal property involving millions of private (unincorporated) U. S. citizens, dating as far back as 1942, is seen as the a key to a motive in Lady A’s long disappearance and murder.

The identification of other accomplices is being vigorously sought. Our Constitution is in grave peril as long as Apportionment’s place at Article I § 2 cl. 3 and Article 1 § 9 cl. 4 of the U.S. Constitution remains vacant.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Brown,

I just wanted to write and let you know that I admire what your doing and I agree with you guys 150%, the feds must show the law that requires the American people to pay an income tax on their wages, the burden of proof is on them. As someone that served in the military I am ashamed at the actions of this government and I am outraged that the freedoms and the liberties that I thought I was defending by serving are now being assualted by my own government and I am also shamed and outraged by how they have treated good and decent people such as yourselves and many others. The real terrorists are not in the middle east, their here in our own land wearing suits and ties, judges robes, wearing badges, all blindly enforcing an injust and immoral system.

I served in the military for 5 and half years, I just got out in March and I left because of the fact that my supervisors and leadership didn't like my views. I came to a knowledge of the truth about the New World Order and the forming police state because someone had enough guts to approach me after work one day, who just happened to be a base taxi driver and told me about Alex Jones and there began my many years of reading up and studying.

After that I realized that I could no longer serve in the military because I realized that I was serving under a criminal government and that I as a Christian and an American could not just go along with evil. I support your stand and will keep you all in my prayers and I will make sure that what you now do will never be forgotten even if they go in there and take you guys out, because they can never touch what's in my soul or the soul of anyone else and they cannot and will not silence the truth.

I have plans to design a T-Shirt showing my support of you and to make a plaque or a display in my room where I will have a picture of you and a quote from one of the founding Fathers, I consider you patriots and heroes and I will always remember you and speak of you with the same reverance that I would speak about great patriots like George Washington or Thomas Jefferson or Patrick Henry.

I am a direct decendent of someone that served in the American revolution and I support you guys because of that heritage because I do not wish to dishonor the patriot blood which runs through my veins. May God bless and keep you and like Patrick Henry once said: " I know not what course others may take, but as for me, Give me liberty or give me death!"

SHOW US THE LAW: SHOW US YOUR JURISDICTION!

2007-08-07T06:00:00.000-07:00

BY: Raymond Ronald Karczewski©

The time for a Peaceful 2nd American Revolution is NOW!

There is no need for bloodshed.

There is no need for violence.

There is no need for Martial Law.

There is no need for Terrorism.

The need is for the Sovereign People who Are the True Government of these united states of America to act like the Sovereigns, the Masters they are, and hold their Public Servants accountable in a realistic manner, a Just manner. The time for talking is over. It is time for ACTION.

The key to Peace has always remained with the Peacemakers, not the war mongers, the
purveyors of Terrorism for profit, the corporate shadow that has insinuated itself into our previously Constitutional Republic and transformed it into what it is today.

Yet since Civilized man lost the good sense that God had given him, and plunged from the Grace of Divine Awareness into the depths of Satanic based Intellectualism, the societies of our world have never known a time where there was a lasting peace on earth. The remote controlling Satanist elitists have ruled the "sheeple" and kept them enslaved through force, fear, and mysticism.

All that can come to an end NOW!

When Satanic Lawyer servants are allowed to write the rules for their Masters to follow, the keys to Heaven become the keys to Hell and one with spiritual sight can see the definite demonic shift which overcomes the land. Justice becomes a Commercial endeavour of Slave trading by self-appointed Black-Robed Hypocrites, How and Why -- because their Satanic words say so.

The Sovereign People of America hold the power to bring Hell on Earth to a halt merely by realizing they hold the key to their own Liberation, physical and spiritual. They can take back their country anytime they want to. They only have to see the viability of the plan they undertake CLEARLY.

No man has the Right to appoint himself Dictator over the American People except for the inculcated Satanic Illusions which prevails in the mind of a man named Bush, and the Satanically mind Controlled People.

No man is above the law. No man stands above his Creator.

The natural pecking order has, is, and always shall be God the Creator stands over
Living, Breathing, Flesh-and-Blood, Sentient, Natural, Sovereign men and women, His Creation who stand as Sovereign People over Government, THEIR creation, which stands over their created, Fictional Juristic Persons corporate construct, their slaves.

That, Brothers and Sisters is the NATURE OF JURISDICTION.

Ed and Elaine Brown two Living, Breathing, Flesh-and-Blood, Sentient, Natural Sovereign Children of God are being held hostage in their own home and layed seige to, by their "fictional" government servants who refused the Brown's Due
Process of Law, and the Right of theirs to demand that the actual law under which they are being prosecuted PRODUCED.

THE COURTS REFUSE TO PRODUCE THE LAW OR ANSWER THE QUESTION. They remained mute because the law they sought to convict the Browns with is a LAW WHICH HAS NEVER EXISTED.

Why, BECAUSE THERE ARE PRESENTLY NO LAWS which exists governing Living, Breathing,
Flesh-and Blood, Sentient Natural Men and Women. All law of the Fictional Administrative Courts (Unconstitutional) of our land pertain only to the limited legal construct of Fictional Juristic Corporate entities. Such Courts have no
ACTUAL JURISDICTION over the Living, Breathing,Flesh-and-Blood, Sentient, Natural Man
or Woman, but for the presumption of JURISDICTION as acting as sureties for the debts of the Debtor defendant. When such JURISDICTION is challenged, all legal proceedings must be stopped and JURISDICTION must be proved in writing by the courts/prosecution before prosecution may resume. THAT IS THE LAW A Law that is not followed in Today's Court System.

Enough is enough, is it not? Let the Cry across the land be "SHOW US THE LAW": "SHOW US YOUR JURISIDICTION."

Let a Nationwide phone calling campaign, letter writing, email begin where every freedom loving man or woman call their their State's governors, their Federal and State legislators, their attorney generals, judges and prosecuting District Attorneys and DEMAND an answer from them to the above two questions. If they are willing to answer the question, ask them if they will do it UNDER OATH OR AFFIDAVIT, then ask them again if they are willing to do it.

Surely there must be one such public servant to be found amongst thousands throughout our country who will answer those two questions if our government is to remain a Servant of the People and not its Tyrannical Master?

If after such an event, no answer is forthcoming. It is time to REMOVE THEM FROM
OFFICE and screw the rules they have written to protect them in their jobs.

That, my Brothers and Sisters WILL BE the PEACEFUL 2nd AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

Scott Haley, Founder of "Individual Sovereignty" Comments On Danny Riley's 8/6 Statement

2007-08-06T13:21:00.000-07:00

Danny Riley wrote:

What is a peaceful solution to the Brown’s situation in Plainfield, New Hampshire? The Marshals say “turn yourself in and you won’t be harmed”, The Browns reply with “turn myself in for what? We have not broken any laws”. The Marshals are just doing their job they exclaim, in their minds a person has been convicted and they been order to apprehend by the court. The Marshals are not concerned with the moral issues and questions of corruption and a non-law conviction that arises from this case. For the most part the Marshals are probably good Americans, willing to defend the country, but the Marshals probably have not researched and investigated the greater issues involved here, such as the federal reserve fraud, the IRS fraud of not being able to produce a liability clause in the law, and the lawlessness of the federal courts, not allowing due process. Read the rest of Danny's statement here.

Scott Haley responded:

Well done...a thought-provoking article.

There are a number of extremely unfortunate and frustrating aspects to this whole situation. Here are a few---

1. Marshals (or other law enforcement folks) are not going to show Ed & Elaine the Law in question...because they don't have the desire to do so, much less the expertise to even attempt it. The misapplied 26 USC, Subtitle A, Chapter 1 is so lengthy, convoluted and confusing that most BARflies (attorneys) have a tough time trying to explain it.

2. Non-Peace Officer Govt representatives are not going to "show the Law" because it is not in their best interests to do so...and they don't care about the controversy.

3. On April 15 of this year, every "taxpayer" in this nation should have refused (in the name of Ed & Elaine) to submit a 1040...but they didn't refuse. Had they done so, someone in the Govt would have been forced to come forward & "show us the Law".

4. Whoever represents Ed & Elaine in the U.S. House of Representatives should have come to their home...to find out first-hand (not by hearsay) what their complaint is about. That person should be thoroughly ashamed of himself/herself. [I realize full well that Reps cannot visit every individual in their Districts, but this is a unique and dire situation.]

THERE ARE A NUMBER of possible (but, admittedly, NOT probable) peaceful solutions to this scenario. [Remember, I said "possible", not probable.] Here are a few---

1. Someone from Treasury could be dispatched to Plainfield to "show the Law". [Highly unlikely, but if the Govt was of a mind to do so, it is possible.]

2. More likely, Ed & Elaine's Congressional Rep could come to Plainfield and do the same. This would require a lot of pressure being put on him/her. [Has anyone explored this possibility? I say that despite what I said in # 2 above.]

3. Ed & Elaine could surrender peaceably based on this reasoning: perhaps it is better to live and work for restoration of the Republic (even in prison) than it is to die. [Frankly, I would probably do exactly as Ed & Elaine are doing now, but we're talking "what is possible" here. No matter what the Browns say, surrender is "possible"; but, of course, it takes the will to do it.]

4. The Marshals could come to their senses and recognize that they're making war on a peaceful couple who only are saying that they will defend themselves...and then the Marshals could quit. [Unfortunately, even if that possibility came about, they would be replaced with different Marshals.]

5. The People of this country could stop fearing their SERVANT Govt and boycott it AT EVERY LEVEL in the name of Ed & Elaine. [Highly unlikely, but "possible".]

So, what are we left with? Except for food for thought, it seems that we're back to square one.

BUT...

perhaps we should find out who Ed & Elaine's Congressional Rep is and inundate that person with emails, phone calls, letters, videos (posted on the web), etc. DEMANDING that he/she "show Ed & Elaine the Law", and show it in detail, with all the exclusions, exceptions, and gobbledeegook phrases ["Except as provided for in section 61...", "Except as otherwise provided...(where???)] etc. EXPLAINED.

OR---

perhaps we should attempt to convince Ed & Elaine (I know this would be tough) that it is better to be a live martyr than a dead one. Consider Ghandi, Mandela, and others who spent time in prison---look what they accomplished. [I have a tough time with this one because, as I said, I would probably do exactly as the Browns are doing. Nevertheless, unless you are terminally ill or being tortured, living makes more sense than dying.]

Obviously, there are no easy answers to this problem.

My main disappointment is with the adult American public in general. We could force the Govt's hand if only we would boycott on a massive scale.

Sincerely,
Scott

Danny Riley Comments On The Concept/Idea of A Peaceful Solution

2007-08-06T09:57:00.000-07:00

What is a peaceful solution to the Brown’s situation in Plainfield, New Hampshire? The Marshals say “turn yourself in and you won’t be harmed”, The Browns reply with “turn myself in for what? We have not broken any laws”. The Marshals are just doing their job they exclaim, in their minds a person has been convicted and they been order to apprehend by the court. The Marshals are not concerned with the moral issues and questions of corruption and a non-law conviction that arises from this case. For the most part the Marshals are probably good Americans, willing to defend the country, but the Marshals probably have not researched and investigated the greater issues involved here, such as the federal reserve fraud, the IRS fraud of not being able to produce a liability clause in the law, and the lawlessness of the federal courts, not allowing due process.

So now, on the other side you have a very hardnosed dedicated person in his beliefs and convictions, who is being asked to be put in a cage for 5 years for a crime he believes 100% he did not commit. Most of the Brown supporters have studied these issues and see a decline of our country into a fascist dictatorship. The supporters want to do something to help save our country and see Ed as someone “finally standing up” to the powers that are trying to destroy our country. The Browns believe they were denied due process, the trial was run like a Spanish Inquisition. I spoke with people who were at the trial and they described it as a process no true American can be proud of. Some of the marshals I spoke with also conferred the trial was a travesty.

So what is the peaceful solution to resolving this without anyone getting hurt? I hear Marshal Monier saying just turn yourself in. Then Ed Brown saying show me the law and I will pay what you say I owe. How can we come up with a resolution? Suggestions, Anybody……. Some I have read consist of, just Show him the law, build a fence around the house and leave him be, just forget about him and arrest him if he goes off his property. Show him the law, that’s good, building a fence is out of the question. Waiting him out is plausible, but I believe the government does not want to play that game because they look at this a wound they want healed and forget about, the sooner the better.

All the solutions are with the government. They find themselves in this scenario all because they refuse to produce the law. The same law they could not produce in the Tommy Cryer trial last month, thus his acquittal. Ed Brown was charged with the same crime but his trial was a sham. The judge was way stricter on what the Browns were allowed to present in their defense. I ask the Marshals, would you allow yourself to be put in a cage for five years for a crime you know you did not commit? There has been no crime committed here. I fear people are going to get killed over this, for what! Paper Notes of Credit printed out of thin air backed by nothing, that’s what federal reserve notes are.

I beg my fellow countrymen (Marshals) to give the Browns a way out of this, without having to plead guilty to a crime they did not commit and without having to give up their lives. Let the Browns pay all their legal taxes on their properties, square up with local taxes, and whatever else they might legally owe. Let them get back to their status they were before this began. I ask the Marshals to show Quarter to your fellow countryman. Remember your roots are tied to Ed browns roots, to all our roots; our forefathers fought a war over illegal taxation. Ed Brown is standing on the side of our forefathers while the Marshals are taking the side of the King, speaking in metaphor. The easiest most peaceful way to end this and to prove to the American People that this is not an illegal tax and to end this situation in an instant, show the law, that makes an Americans liable for a direct tax on their labor, that’s it.

danny riley 8-6-07

If you do not stand with the Browns today, this will be your ours tomorrow.

2007-08-05T09:18:00.000-07:00

If you do not stand with the Browns today, this will be your ours tomorrow. You must have broken some law that one of the alphabet teams can come and visit.

Just so you know, Ed Brown has a check all made out to the IRS for the full amount to the IRS, all they have to do is show Ed the law. Is that not easy?

Seeing that this has gone on for 7+ months, I guess it’s not easy. Why, will the IRS not show ED or us the law? Call you local congress critter and ask him to show you the law. They will not, you know. Does that not put up a BIG RED flag for you?

When they come to your house, ask them; “what are we going to do with the dead, the wounded, the prisoners, and the women and children” Then watch their faces.

Also tell them: “I’m willing to die protecting my God given Constitutional protected rights. Are you willing to die trying to take them?

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn said it best.

"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say goodbye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand. The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst; the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" -- The Gulag Archipelago, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

PERSPECTIVE

2007-08-05T09:11:00.001-07:00

Since the dawn of man there has been a command structure throughout the animal kingdom. From alligators to monkeys, to wolves, to- fill in the blank-, there is always a command structure, ie dominant male then the dominant female, then the guards then the den watchers etc. etc. etc.. Like a bee hive has its command structure, I think it is an axiom to say everyone knows a bee hive has its Queen then on downward through the ranks.

Now man has a command structure too. The Egyptians used the symbol of the pyramid to symbolize its command structure with the Pharaoh at the top and the slaves at the bottom. Let’s remembers Egypt was a state with lots of slaves. That set up, with the pyramid type command structure, is a dictatorship, something Americans do not like or want. Now, our enemy uses this pyramid as one of its symbols, which if you take a good look around they are everywhere in our society. That is the enemies way of showing they are in control and supposed to energize their plans for world domination through symbolism, through their weird religion they follow.

The ingenious thing the founding fathers did was invert the pyramid with the tip on the bottom, and put the people (the masses) in control at the top and put who ever is regulating the people at the bottom and with the fewest numbers, thus creating total freedom for the sovereigns who just fought a bloody war with against the most powerful army in the world and threw off their monarch style of government. Now, today, our tradition of liberty has been lost to the international bankers who have righted the pyramid and now are in a position to slam the door on the cage of the American People. Plado said that the ultimate pyramid would have a ruling elite at the top with another command structure inside the ruling elite, beneath that would be security forces to separate the slaves from their rulers. The security forces would have a decent life with some decent benefits but they are slaves themselves too. The only free people, in this type of command structure, is the ruling elite. Now below the security forces are the slaves who live in misery and poverty and work just to stay alive.

This is the utopia these wackos are trying to achieve, Plado’s Pyramid. This is Americas worst nightmare. The international bankers write about their plans for world domination, more and more because they think they are at a point now where they can not be stopped even if they are exposed. Now, the one thing we have is numbers, like bees attacking a man. The bees are smaller and can be killed with a mere swat of the man’s hand but they attack in numbers and sting relentlessly till the man succumbs to the poison from the stings and dies. This scenario is what the international bankers fear, the masses taking up arms in defense of their country. It’s a battle they know they can not fend off and win.

Well if this is the one most important thing the international bankers fear then why are we not putting the fear into them like they have been doing to US the American People. Flying planes into buildings, blowing up buildings, burning buildings with American Men, woman and children in them and machine gunning them as they ran from the building, shooting an innocent woman in the head while holding a baby, stealing people’s money with the barrel of a gun using their phony IRS, knocking off brave patriots one by one. How much more can we take as a free people before we realize our freedom is a façade, a fake picture of reality drawn for you by the international bankers. Its time to wake up and take our destiny out of the hands of our representatives and turn the pyramid back upside down, the way it belongs in America, the way it was given to US by our founding fathers.

The people are at the top then our local governments, then our county, then our state then our federal governments, that is the proper chain of command. The people cannot fix this problem if their representatives are not doing their wishes. The people ask for an explanation to why they are not representing them properly and the people get no answer. Nice. Now the people must flex their might and make things right, and that is where we are in our nation’s history. My fellow countrymen and woman join in the fight to take back our republic which has fallen prey to the international bankers. It is either going to be the home of the brave or the home of the slave if we do not act now.

Danny Riley "On The Record": What Does His Affidavit Accomplish?

2007-08-04T14:46:00.000-07:00

Tuva Or Bust asked:

What does this document accomplish?

10:53 AM

Mad Dog Marine said...

Regarding affidavits in pretty much all jurisdictions:

Charolais Breeding Ranches, Ltd. v. FPC Secs. Corp., 90 Wis. 2d 97, 109, 279 N.W.2d 493 (Ct. App. 1979) (unrefuted arguments deemed admitted).

If this were me, I would reauthor an affidavit "specifically" dealing with the arrest incident. Obtain supporting affidavits of others who can testify that shots,indeed were fired at that same location and time of the alleged incident. Then I would (with video camera)bring them to the local sheriff's office and file a formal criminal complaint for "attempted murder,and/or assault with a deadly weapon". Not expecting a response by the local prosecutor, it would be time to write a letter to the press stipulating "attempted murder not a prosecutorial offense in Plainfiel,NH. Time to make these people responsible for their criminal malfeasance of office.

Tuva or bust said...

The internet isn't a jurisdiction. The affidavit is worthless.

David Christopher said...

Tuva - I'm just going to say what's on everyones mind here.

"You're a frigging moron."

Seriously, in my opinion, (and probably others) you're a prime example of what's wrong with this country.

albanyNY said...

what does it accomplish? by asking that question shows you do not understand. A document accepted by a court is "sufficent on its face" and CANNOT be disallowed by a court to be put infront of a jury. This document is basically talking to a jury. Mad dog is right, more affidavits are better. i can not do it all myself and either can the Browns, we must unite under the banner of liberty to take our country back, this is our heritage and our legacy as Americans, we need other Americans to Step Up! and take on the responsibilty of taking our country back from the international bankers who we have fallen prey to.

Actions are louder than words

"what does it accomplish? by asking that question shows you do not understand. A document accepted by a court is "sufficent on its face" and CANNOT be disallowed by a court to be put infront of a jury. This document is basically talking to a jury."

Posting a document on the internet is not submitting it to a court.

Bottom line, creating a document and posting it online is meaningless from a legal point of view.

And you wonder why people don't take the movement seriously.

Now go back to your conspiracies about how the evil government blew up a bridge this week for dark and nefarious reasons...

5:14 PM

The Freedom Fellowship said...

Tuva:

The affidavit was entered and filed as a legal document with the court. It now "qualifies" as evidence unless rebutted.

What does this signify?

A friend of the Brown's offered the following in response to the question "what does this signify?":

1) THEY fired first.

2) THEY fired on an UNARMED civilian, running AWAY from the officers on PRIVATE property after committing NO crime.

3) THEY tried to flip & intimidate, and threaten him. THIS IS WHY THEY ABANDONED THE SEIZURE OF THE BROWNs.

Danny Riley has now sworn to the FACTS under OATH.

It's time to force the newspapers and others to QUESTION the GOVERNMENT!

Did THEY use ASSUALT WEAPONS to fire on, and attempt to KILL an unarmed citizen, without threat or provocation?

We know who's side you are on Tuva. You are against We The People. You are working/acting with/for the terrorists.

Banana Republic Of Arkansas Reports On Tommy Cryer's Victory Over The IRS

2007-08-02T05:49:00.000-07:00

IRS Loses Challenge to Prove Tax Liability!

Monday, July 30, 2007

by Curious GeorgeLawyer is acquitted after arguing income levy lacks legal foundation:
http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=56855

The Internal Revenue Service has lost a lawyer's challenge in front of a jury to prove a constitutional foundation for the nation's income tax, and the victorious attorney now is setting his sights higher.

"I think now people are beginning to realize that this has got to be the largest fraud, backed up by intimidation and extortion and by the sheer force of taking peoples property and hard-earned money without any lawful authorization whatsoever," lawyer Tom Cryer told WND just days after a jury in Louisiana acquitted him of two criminal tax counts.

And before you consign him to the legions of "tin foil hat brigades" who argue against paying taxes, and then want payment to explain how to do that, he addresses the issue up front.

"These snake oil peddlers have conned millions of dollars out of many well-intended patriots and left a trail of broken lives in their wake. … These charlatans should be avoided, not only because they will lead you to bankruptcy and prison, but because by association they discredit those who are telling the truth," he said.

The truth, he said, is where he comes in, with the launch of a new Truth Attack website that is intended to build on his victory, and create a coalition of resources to defeat – ultimately – the income tax in the United States.

Although the legal citations in the case tend to run the length of paragraphs, Cryer told WND the underlying issue is not that complicated. Essentially, he argued that income is not necessarily any money that comes to a person, but rather categories such as profit and interest.

He said the free exchange of labor for compensation has been upheld as a right by the Supreme Court, but that doesn't necessarily make the compensation income.

If ever such an argument were to be presented widely, Cryer said, the income to the federal government would plummet. But not to worry, he said, the expenses could be reduced equally by eliminating programs, departments and agencies that also have no foundation in the Constitution.

"The Founding Fathers intentionally restricted the taxing powers of the new federal government as a measure of restraint on its size. By exceeding that limited taxing authority the federal government has been able to obtain resources beyond its intended reach, and that money has enabled the federal government to exceed its authority," he said.

For example, he said, the Constitution does not empower the federal government to regulate education, or employment, and agriculture, yet it does so.

The jury in U.S. District Court in Louisiana voted 12-0 to find Cryer, of Shreveport, not guilty of failure to file income taxes for two years. He had been indicted in 2006 on charges of failing to pay $73,000 to the IRS in 2000 and 2001. The next step in his personal case will be up to the IRS and prosecutors, if they choose to continue the issue, he said.

But for the rest of the nation, he's working with Save-a-Patriot, the Free Enterprise Society, Live Free Now and his own Lie Free Zone to spread the message of the truth.

"There are three points that are important," he told WND. "There's no law making the average working man liable [for income taxes], there's no law or regulation that allows the IRS to contend that earnings are 100 percent profit received in exchange for nothing, and the right to earn a living through any lawful occupation is a constitutionally protected fundamental right, and it is exempt from taxation."

Spokesman Robert Marvin in Washington's IRS office told WND the Internal Revenue Code provides for taxation on salaries or wages, but when pressed for a specific citation, or constitutional provision, he said, "I can't comment."

Cryer's encounter with tax law began more than a decade ago when a friend told him the income tax was sham. Cryer started researching, hoping to keep his friend out of trouble. But his conclusions, after years of research, were exactly what his friend told him.

He researched not only tax laws, but also the documents pertaining to the drafting of the U.S. Constitution as well as the first income tax.

He said throughout his battle, he's offered at every turn to pay taxes if the IRS could show him the authorization, and that never has happened.

"The Criminal Investigation Division and Department of Justice both responded only with 'your position is frivolous.' I had never stated a position, so how could they know whether it was frivolous?" he said. "Imagine my sending you a bill for $1,000 and when you call me and ask what the bill was for I simply said, 'that position is frivolous, just write the check and send it in.'"

His acquittal, he said, was a precedent because it means "people can see and recognize the truth."

He said multiple Supreme Court opinions have affirmed an individual's ownership of his or her own labor, and "exercising your fundamental rights" is not taxable. "It is definitely a trade. What most people receive in the form of wages, salaries or in my case fees that they personally earned for their labor is not received in exchange for nothing."

He said there might be a profit that should be taxable, but there might not.

"The IRS lets Wal-Mart sell a trillion dollars worth of goods, but they can back out their cost of goods [before being taxed,]" he said. "The IRS considers, in the case of a Wal-Mart wage earner, 100 percent of what he takes in is profit."

"But he's using his life, energy and work lifespan, and depleting it as he goes," Cryer told WND. "[Working] is a God-given fundamental right that is protected under the Constitution and can't be taxed any more than exercising freedom of speech."

While he waits to see what, if anything, the IRS and Justice Department will do next in his case, he's working to coordinate the groups that are battling taxation as unconstitutional.

"I have started a campaign to unify [the work] and we've got a number of organizations that are sponsoring and supporting this campaign," he said. The goal is to get everyone "who is aware of the truth" organized so they can spread the word.

He warned without a restoration of constitutional basics, the nation is lost.

"Read your Constitution and you will see that the federal role does not include ANY authority to regulate or tax any citizen directly and that WE expressly reserved the right to rule and govern ourselves as States, not as mere political subdivisions," his website says.

"The Constitution does not allow the government to run your lives, but the money it is stealing from millions of Americans is the fuel for its over-reaching and kibitzing. Take the money back and we and our states and communities can again be free," he said.

The fight is over "our FREEDOM from rule by a DISTANT RULER, just as we fought to free ourselves of a distant England over 200 years ago," he said.

Still Waiting For The Union Leader To Post My Comment In Support Of The Browns from 2 days ago...

2007-08-01T14:01:00.001-07:00

I just sent this to Charlie Perkins who heads up "New Media" over at the the Union Leader:

Charlie:

I still have yet to see/view any new comments - either in support of or against Ed and Elaine Brown. There have been no new posts allowed on your site since I noted this in a blog post 2 days ago at this link.

I asked you if you are posting comments and you responded:

Charlie: I am posting many comments. There have been many more comments that have come in recently anti-Brown than pro-Brown. A few weeks ago the proportion was more in favor of the Browns. That has swung a bit in the past few weeks.

Fred: Ok. It just seems like….. Like my comment…. Have you posted my comment? My name is Fred.

Charlie: Your name is Fred? No. Because I want your name. I don’t want ‘Fred’.

Fred: I posted my email address and I posted my phone number. What more do you want?

Charlie: That would help. I would like your last name. That would help. We tilt the comments towards New Hampshire people.

Fred: Ok. Ok, well my last name is ‘Smart’ – SMART. I just put my first name in there.

===========

Charlie, I am still waiting for you to post my comments in support of Ed and Elaine Brown which I submitted 2+ days ago.

Is there anything more that you need from me in order for my post/comment to qualify for inclusion?

Thanks again!

Peace and God Bless,

Fred

PS. I hope you have been following the news - ie. the Plainfield police chief has admitted to have stood down the Browns after lying to the media:

Evidence Of A Conspircy: Never Happened Or Stand Down?

Police stand down from responding to emergency calls. Then they lie to the media.

Josh Davis WMUR: If you tried to call 911 last night in this area chances are you had a hard time getting through.
That’s because so many Ed and Elaine Brown supporters were dialing that operators just couldn’t keep up….all for something police say “never happened.”

Evidence 911 Dispatch And Emergency Stood Down

Later Police Were Forced To Admit The Stand Down. Because the evidence was available online.

“And Plainfield police did not respond.”

Plainfield Chief of Police: “For officer safety, the same thing for the fire departments or emergency medical services, we would not send them in.

==========

Evidence of a Conspiracy

Casey Lee Cobb | Show The Law | July 31st 2007

WMUR Reports that the activity of the 29th in which lead to an onslaught of hundreds of phone calls from concerned Brown supporters was and I quote “All for something police say never happened.” Now it appears that WMUR is backing away from that statement and video report by releasing a new official (Law Enforcement Friendly) revised edition of the response that local authorities have for that nights events.

In this new (Law Enforcement Friendly) close-ended version of the coverage for the events of the 29th, police admit that they stood down, and refused to respond to emergency phone calls on behalf of the Browns for purposes of the safety of law enforcement officers, firefighters, and EMS. Now if you will notice, in this new video the police completely contradict the reporting of WMUR’s previous version of the coverage of these events where WMUR has specifically stated that this was “All for something police officers say never happened.”

Question: How can you make a conscious decision to stand down from something that “...never happened.”?

Upon closer inspection you will notice that it becomes completely transparent that either

* (A) the statement from WMUR was not factual. (or)

* (B) The local law enforcement and media are working together in tandom in order to shape public opinion to fit the desires of law enforcement, via publishing a revisionists form of history. That version being the more factual, we stood down AND SOMETHING WAS HAPPENING version.

Now I know what you’re thinking, most respectable news agencies would simply issue a retraction of the portion of the news report that was untrue or contradictory. Or if there was something more sinister going on, they may choose to pretend that the first report never existed, and then carry on by publicly releasing on their official YouTube account the (Law Enforcement Friendly) version of history.

If there is no retraction issued regarding the statement “All for something police say never happened.” we can naturally come to the conclusion that option (B) is what WMUR chose to go with. In the un-likely event that WMUR were to try and save face, that they are credible and not under the influence of local law enforcement maybe they would consider revealing the name of their initial source that being the police officer(s) who deliberately lied to the news media.
___________

A Short Recap just in case you’re confused: Police officers did not respond, to something that never happened, and were not present while it was not happening.

Former Phoenix Police Officer, Jack McLamb, On The Constitution vs. The NWO

2007-08-01T04:15:00.001-07:00

Officer Jack McLamb (ret.) has the distinction of being the highest decorated police officer in the history of Phoenix, Arizona who is now residing in a Constitutional Community in northern Idaho. Jack is founder of the American Citizen and Lawmens Association (ACLA),and publisher of Aid & Abet Police and Military Newsletter. Jack hopes to awaken all of his brothers in law enforcement to the coming tyranny of the NWO. "The Constitution vs The New World Order" Seminar on November 18-20th 1994 - Las Vegas. Jack McLamb's 2hour Speech now available on DVD & Audio CDs. nwodvd.com

Jack McLamb Interview – Sunday before Thanksgiving 1994 at the Italian American Club in Las Vegas

Mr. Doherty: What brings you to Las Vegas today Jack?

Jack McLamb: I was invited down to speak. About 15 years ago I started a publication called “Aid And Abet Police Newsletter” – Constitutional issues for lawmen - still publish that publication today and very active in trying to educate lawmen in their understanding of their oath of office that they took to the people to defend the Constitution and so forth.

Mr. Doherty: How do see a need for teaching Constitutional law to sworn officers who should be receiving this traning from their departments sir?

Jack McLamb: It’s very sad because of course their first duty is to uphold their oath of office and that oath reads that they have sworn to protect the Constitution of the united States, the people, their liberties and rights and their property and their person. Well it’s difficult for officers to protect people’s rights when we don’t know what they are. And so you would think that the first line of business would be for them to be trained in their Constitutional duties,but of course they are not today. The Constitution by our government is looked at as old and antiquated and out of date and so we’re not given that training anymore. So it is sad that private – or let’s say individual – police officers and people in private sector have to take over this duty of trying to educate their lawmen who are supposed to be their servants in what their duties are.

Mr. Doherty: Seems to me Mr. McLamb that a police officer working the streets of the city and reporting to his sargent, his Lieutenant and his Captain sometimes has to give a thought for his job, his paycheck and his career and the Constitution might come second. How do you work the two together.

Jack McLamb: It’s very very difficult because of course they, the government, prefers that the police officer worry about his job, his pension and don’t think anything about the Constitution – just do what he’s told regardless of what that is. And so it’s very unpopular to teach the Constitution in that they sworn an oath to the people and to protect the people and not to protect the system from the people.

Delusional Idiots???

2007-07-30T09:37:00.001-07:00

The comments section of this Union Leader article on the Brown's are filled with negative invective spun against the Browns such as the following:

"Those people in the Brown's "camp" are delusional idiots. When they are ignored by Police and the public they whine and cry about being attacked and do their best to create some dramatic lunacy about being "picked on". I wish they'd be attacked by common sense but that's a waste of a wish. That's somethin neither the Brown's nor their "supporters" have. It would be nice if the outsiders who pander to the Brown's need to appear as victims would go back where they came from. New Hampshire does NOT need them."
- Alan Yates, cONCORD

We posted one response/comment which has yet to appear in the comments section of this article as follows:

Delusional idiots?

The Browns have offered to pay all their "taxes", but the Federal government refuses to show them the law that requires them to file and pay....

First....."At the heart of Brown's protest is the Court�s failure, in denying Brown�s substantive and dispositive pre-trial motions, to properly respond to the questions and issues that were presented to the Court in the motions � that is, the Court's failure to state the facts and the questions being presented by Brown, the law and how the Court was applying the law to answer the questions."

http://www.wethepeoplefoundation.org/UPDATE/Update2007-01-25.htm

Second....Tom Cryer, an attorney from Louisiana, recently won a case against the IRS which your publication has yet to report on. See...

http://questforfairtrialinconcordnh.blogspot.com/2007/07/attorney-tom-cryer-wins-against-irs.html

Third....Tom Cryer and Ed and Elaine Brown are among millions of Americans who have asked the question "Show Me The Law" and to date the government has responded with stone/cold silence. 2000+ individuals filed a lawsuit against the US Goverment on July 19, 2004 in an effort to compel the government to admit that We The People are the Masters over our servant government - and this is expressed in the limitation imposed by the last 10 words in the 1st amendment to our Constitution:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

"....AND TO PETITION THE GOVERNMENT FOR A REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES." One could argue that these are 10 of the most powerful words in the bill of rights.

Tom Cryer, Ed and Elaine Brown and millions of Americans have repeatedly "petitioned the government for a redress of grievances" regarding questions about the taxing powers of Congress related to the administration of the Federal income tax.

The government remains silent on this issue. It has taken the position that it does not have to answer questions from We The People concerning Constitutional torts. During the first 60-70 years of our country's history governments at all levels treated petitions from individuals - across all range of issues - with respect by answering each and every one.

Here's a write up on the formal record of the petitioning process over this and other issues involving Constitutional torts conducted by We The People Foundation/Congress since 1999:

Casey Lee Cobb's Report On July 29, 2007 12:22 pm

Status Report: SNAFU

Casey Lee Cobb | Show The Law | July 29, 2007 12:22 CDT

The threat level at the Brown’s has been reduced from Red alert to High Alert; daylight is now working for the side of justice and truth. As you all know in the early hours this morning our fellow patriot Danny Riley has been reporting for us all night long via a couple of honorable radio stations; “Truth Or Lies” and “We The People Radio Network” also I wanted to send a very special thank you to Torin Wolf from the ‘Wolf At Your Door’ for reporting on this all night long live with Danny Riley.

Here is a short recap of the evening events
At 20:35:46 PDT a distress signal was sent via email from Danny Riley, this message was sent to many patriots in the Infowar it reads as follows:

30 to 40 rounds fired behind the house noise heard in the woods everyone is at battle stations this is not a drill I repeat this is not a drill. Danny

Patriotic Americans responded to this message by contacting Danny via cell phone and putting him on air immediately and without hesitation. Major events and activities of the night include agent provocateurs, firing 30-40 rounds in the vicinity of the Browns, and physically shaking the trailer of one of Ed’s supporters in attempts to spur return fire to be used as an excuse for a use of force.

Local law enforcement TREASONASLY stood down similar to NORAD on 911; they repeatedly refused to acknowledge that they were the recipients of the hundreds of phone calls that were pouring in reporting the criminal activity being perpetrated at the Browns.

Situation is still on high alert, if you are a patriot in the Infowar, or a patriot of the organized, or unorganized militias of the 50 states of the union. I highly recommend that you man your posts vigilantly.

The status change from Red Alert to high alert merely means that we have no daylight time to spare. In several hours, we may possibly come face to face with the hired mercenaries that have been assigned the mission of assassinating this elderly couple in the tax honesty movement, who merely want government to respond lawfully, by showing them the law.

More On The Browns

2007-07-29T11:47:00.001-07:00

Okay,,, Here's the latest on the Brown's.. It's now 9:00am, Sunday morning. I just got off the phone with my friend, Danny Romero. He the owner\operator of "We The People Radio Network" . I actually woke him up. He had been up all night broadcasting live with Ed and Elaine Brown. As I understand it, 30 to 40 shots were fired from behind the Brown's house, in the woods. A trailer at the top of the hill was shaken and rocked, appearing to just be harassment. Danny put out the local police agencies phone numbers, and I'm told they were inundated with calls. Currently no one has stepped forward to take responsibility for the shots fired.

It's being evaluated at this time, but it looks as though the Feds were "testing the water" to see what type of response they might get. Danny told me, all is calm right now. People have again returned to the Brown's home to offer there support. Danny has made arraignments with Ed Brown, that as soon, or if anything does happen, his network will immediately cut in and broadcast it live. I will continue to monitor this to the best of my ability, but I would suggest everyone check in to www.wtprn.com often, to check for any breaking news.

The Browns latest news!

2007-07-29T11:42:00.000-07:00

Here's some new I just received from my friend Art. He's been very involved and up to date with the going ons at the Brown's.

Hello, I was just informed that the next event at Ed and Elaine Browns "may be" the weekend of Sept.3 (Labor Day) which would give everyone a 3 day weekend for the trip up and back.

It is my opinion, for whatever it's worth, that we can either hang together or we assuredly we will hang separately. They are going to take us out one at a time. You see it happening all over the country. Bush's new E.O. about seizing assets of anyone interfering with the war efforts.

The Browns we're fired on last night, that to is all over the net today. I talked to Danny Riley this morning and it is true.

My point to all of this, is why not set your plans to go to the Browns that weekend and help give the biggest (up your's) to these corrupt bastards the world has ever seen. The Browns have committed no crime, you know it and I know it. Why should they be treated like terrorist?

I'm tired of people that do a lot of talking, but never back it up with any actions. In my opinion, people that do that are no better than the people that just don't want to know the truth. I hate to use these words, as Bush said, you're either with us or your against us. I have talked to a lot of people that agree, we should blanket the area around Ed's house with Freedom to Fascism Dvd's.
I gave one to a lady that saw my "I support Ed and Elaine Brown" button and said she liked my button. We had a very nice conversation about taxes and the Browns. People are afraid. We need to help them overcome that fear by sharing the truth with them. God knows the press won't do it.

It would be great if 1000's of people showed up for the next event. It's now or later, but either way, it's coming and we are not going to stop it.

Ron Paul, bless his heart, is a good man with a heart of gold, who really cares for this country and the people in it. I just don't know if the system is going to let him take control, although I pray a lot that if it is meant to be, please let him make it into office. Thats all I will say on that, because I don't have my crystal ball back from the shop yet.

Please join us that weekend, you will be surrounded by good people of faith, who understand the
oppositions we face. I can't think of a better way to spend that weekend.Let others know and maybe share expenses to get there.

No excuses. I will keep you posted as when the date is firmly set.

If you disagree with my opinions, that is yours to do. I do see things a little different than most.
Don't let it keep you from joining us this Saturday night for a special conference call.

Art and Family

Here's the latest on the Brown's..

2007-07-29T11:40:00.001-07:00

I just received this from my good friends, the Flynn's. I wanted to share with all of you, the paperwork they've done for the Brown's

Dear Mike,

We were first apprised of the situation at the Browns at sometime around 2:30 am, today, followed by another one around 3:30 am. We do not know how many people were present at the Browns' home when this occurred, but obviously, this appears to be a show of force by the feds. As many supporters as possible should try to make their way to the Browns at this crucial time to show the feds that the American People will not be intimidated by these Nazi-style tactics, obviously intended to scatter the Browns' supporters, further isolate the Browns and alarm their local neighborhoods.

As you may know, after the Los Angeles seminar, we traveled to and met with the Browns, and did a live radio program from their home with them and with Randy Weaver, who had arrived in New Hampshire the previous day. The show was broadcast over truthradio.com' s Higher Ground Live, with Pastor Massad as the host, and on re-broadcast, we understand that it reached approximately 5 to 6 million people. At the Browns' home, we also met your friend, Danny Romero, of the We, the People Network, and we had previously spoken with him several times when he worked with John Stadtmiller.

Attached are a Writ of Remonstrance and language in support of a pardon that was birthed at that L.A. seminar and should be exposed to as many people as possible, who, in turn, should do the following:

1. Submit these documents to their own congressional delegation, in support of the Browns;

2. Send these documents to the New Hampshire governor, A.G. and the N.H. congressional delegation, as well as other politicians in N.H. to demonstrate that the Browns have the support of hopefully millions of Americans across this Nation.

The People who send the documents should also state in their own letters to these congressional delegations:

The Browns are patriotic American Citizens who are simply claiming and exercising their Constitutional Rights, which cannot be converted into a crime. However, that is exactly what the govt is doing, and apparently, now, is using military-style force and weapons to prevent Citizens from claiming and exercising their Constitutional Rights. This is not what America, theoretically, stands for. Therefore, congressmen/women, senators, and other public officers, take heed of the documents presented to you, uphold your oath and the Rights guaranteed to the American People, including the Browns, and use your authority to stop military attacks upon the Browns and other Americans for claiming their Rights guaranteed in the Constitution. Remember, this standard was adopted at Nuremburg: One does not have to obey an unlawful order, and in this country, that means an unconstitutional order, such as the one(s) upon which these military style forces are acting.

For your information, (and this is also to the congressmen, etc.) the Browns have stated that they will pay any tax for which they are lawfully liable, provided the govt produces the Constitutionally compliant, valid and existing law, specific to the Bill of Rights, which requires that payment. All this military nonsense is unnecessary. The only thing that is necessary is for the govt to produce that valid, existing law, as stated above, which the govt has refused to do. Therefore, it would appear that not only is the govt attacking the Browns with military force for claiming their Rights, but also, upholding "laws" that do not exist. This is not what America was designed to be and it is your direct responsibility as a public servant to intervene and support the Constitution and not act in opposition to it or allow the govt to do so, with Nazi style tactics directed at harming and intimidating the People for whom you work.

Mike, the only way that this nonsense is going to stop, at least lawfully, is for millions of American Citizens all over the country to get in touch with their own congressional delegations with either these documents, other documents, emails, letters, phone calls, etc. expressing their outrage at the govt's unlawful actions - shades of Ruby Ridge and Waco - and their support for their fellow Citizens, the Browns.

On another note, during the LA seminar, you mentioned that you would like to put together a seminar in the Fresno area. We sent you some information regarding how the local area coordinator of the seminar can promote and organize the seminar. Margy and I have taken the summer off, at least from seminar travels, as we need the rest and to catch up on work. We are starting again in September with a seminar in Eastern Oregon on the 15th and 16th. Let us know if you are serious about organizing one in your area. I (Margy) will resend the info to you, as I know how easy it is to miss or waylay something, when one gets many emails, as I am sure you do, Mike.

When you see or talk to Danny Romero, please give him our very best.

By the way, Mike, you asked us if would be willing to speak at some event in September. If you have gotten back to us by email, I have not seen, as our email accounts are chock full, at the moment, and it is nearly impossible for me to read everything that comes in. Can you please call us to discuss what, if anything, is going on with this situation? I don't recall your giving me a specific date or anything, so I hope our upcoming Oregon seminar does not conflict. Let me know. Thanks.

Best regards,

Jack and Margy

Ed & Elaine Brown
401 Center of Town Road
Plainfield, New Hampshire 03781
Get to the Browns house now!

If you are unable, use this list below, call them and dont stop calling!

Please flood the phones and do not stop till good things start to happen.

1: Sullivan County, NH (Plainfield is located here) Sheriff Michael Prozzo -- 603-863-4200

Please call the sheriff's office and urge him to act under his authority as the supreme law enforcement official in Sullivan County. He is the only elected law enforcement "official" and has the authority to tell the feds to back off. But so far he hasn't done anything but hide from this whole matter. Urge him to do something RIGHT NOW!!!

2: New Hampshire State Governor John Lynch -- 603-271-2121

Please call Gov. Lynch's office right now! They will likely try to skirt the issue and tell you to call the U.S. Marshall's office. Don't let them off the hook! Tell them that the GOVERNOR is supposed to have the authority over New Hampshire -- not the feds!!! Ed does not live on federal land! Ed is not under federal jurisdiction! Plainfield isn't on federal land, the county isn't, and the state isn't. The feds have no business there. The governor could act to stop it and keep the feds out. As with the sheriff, so far he has not!!! Call and tell them HE ABSOLUTELY MUST EXERCISE HIS AUTHORITY AND STOP THE FEDS.

3: The U.S. Marshall's office: 603-225-1632

Please call and tell them they have no authority, no business, and should immediately stop the violent actions they are taking against the Browns. They will likely ask for your name and number -- that's what they asked from me -- you can give it to them if you'd like, or not if you don't want to -- but don't be scared of these guys. Get your message that this should be resolved without the continued use of violence and the threat of violence. Tell them we are watching!

Tax Quotations

Tax Quotations

For some pithy comments about taxes by Vernon Jacobs, see Tax Humor.

The legal right of a taxpayer to decrease the amount of what otherwise would be his taxes, or altogether avoid them, by means which the law permits, cannot be doubted. (U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sutherland, Gregory vs. Helvering, 293 U.S. 465, 1965)
Over and over again courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging one's affairs so as to make taxes as low as possible. Everybody does so, rich or poor, and do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more taxes than the law demands. Taxes are enforced exactions, not voluntary contributions. ( Justice Learned Hand, U.S. Supreme Court )

A taxpayer need not arrange its affairs so as to maximize taxes as long as the transaction has a legitimate business purpose. (Judge Cornelio G. Kennedy, sixth Circuit Court Appeals.)

The taxpayer (is) someone who works for the government but doesn't have to take a civil service examination. (Ronald Reagan)

It seems that every time Congress sets out to trim the budget, the knife slips and trims the taxpayers instead. (Unknown)

The origins of recorded history were inextricably linked to oppressive taxation. (Alvin Rabushka)

The United States is the only country where it takes more brains to figure your tax than to earn the money to pay it. (Edward J. Gurney)

The IRS runs from its past, evades its responsibilities, coddles criminals, lies to Congress, retaliates against whistle-blowers, and squanders the billions it receives in taxpayers' funds. (Shelley L. Davis)

I don't know of a single foreign product that enters this country untaxed, except the answer to prayer. (Mark Twain)

The first 9 pages of the Internal Revenue Code define income; the remaining 1,100 pages spin the web of exceptions and preferences. (Warren G. Magnuson)

The tax collector differs from Robin Hood because his robbery is legalized. (Charles Adams)

Watergate had exposed the IRS as an agency capable of initiating politically-inspired audits. (Shelley L. Davis)

When Barbary Pirates demand a fee for allowing you to do business, it's called "tribute money". When the Mafia demands a fee for allowing you to do business, it's call "the protection racket." When the state demands a fee for allowing you to do business, it's called "income tax." (Jeff Daiell)

All taxes discourage something. Why not discourage bad things like pollution rather than good things like working or investment? (Lawrence Summers)

The IRS has developed a marvelous method of deflecting any and all criticism against it. (Shelley L. Davis)

Tax pressures grew heavier and tendency to evasion -- illegal or legitimate -- on the part of high officials and large landowners, was increased ... and was the end of the (Roman) state. (Aurelio Bernardi)

The art of taxation consists of so plucking the goose as to obtain the largest amount of feathers with the least possible amount of hissing. (J.B. Colbert)

I'm proud to be paying taxes in the United States. The only thing is -- I could be just as proud for half the money. (Arthur Godfrey)

Tax reform is taking taxes off things that have been taxed in the past and putting taxes on things that haven't been taxed. (Art Buchwald)

(Preparing a tax return) is too difficult for a mathematician. It takes a philosopher. (Albert Einstein)

Even when you make a tax form out on the level, you don't know when it's through if you are a crook or a martyr. (Will Rogers)

The first income tax law of the American century was only fourteen pages long, but it contained enough exceptions and exemptions, loopholes and inconsistencies to keep top notch accountants capably employed. (Shelley L. Davis)

It's getting so that children have to be educated to realize that "Damn" and "Taxes" are two separate words. (Unknown)

We contend that for a nation to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle. (Winston Churchill)

You've just told the guy next to you your life's history, how much you make, and how you've gotten out of paying income tax for years, and find out he's from the IRS. ( Unknown)

The difference between tax avoidance and tax evasion is the thickness of a prison cell. ( Denis Healey)

There is no virtue in compulsory government charity, and there is no virtue in advocating it. A voter who takes pride in such programs is telling us that he'll do good with his own money--if a gun is held to his head. (P.J. O'Rourke)

On April 15, just try telling the Internal Revenue Service you just don't feel like "contributing" this year. (Robert H. Michael, Rep.-Ill.)

Secession by the South was a reaction against Lincoln's high-tax policy. (Charles Adams)

The marvel of all history is the patience with which men and women submit to burdens unnecessarily laid upon them by their governments. (William E. Borah)

Why does a slight tax increase cost you two hundred dollars and a substantial tax cut save you thirty cents? (Peg Bracken)

The list of notables who have fled their homeland to avoid heavy taxation would read like an international Who's Who. Flight is the number one device used by wealthy people to avoid heavy taxation. (Charles Adams)

The New Battle Cry of the Second American Revolution

2007-07-23T06:18:00.001-07:00

The New Battle Cry of the Second American Revolution: SHOW US THE LAW, SHOW US YOUR JURISDICTION, OR WE SHOW YOU THE JAIL!

By: Raymond Ronald Karczewski©

American's, have you had enough? Do you want to take back your country?

Do you want to live without fear, without confusion, without contradiction?

Do you want your public servants to serve you, not tyrannize you?

Then wake up to the power that you already hold in your hands, the hands of the Sovereign People.

You are the Sovereigns. The Government is your servant. It works for you. Not you for it.

You have been unrelentingly and systematically duped with words -- the Satanic approach of Mind Control. It has accomplished its lawyer-like agenda by using words that are NOT Law, but are based in "Color of Law." -- Corporate policies which masquerade as law.

STOP the confusion which keeps you in fear. Ed and Elaine Brown of Plainfield New Hampshire have shown you the way to Freedom, a return to Sovereignty. Their tactic? They walked out of court, mid-trial. They, in essence, BOYCOTTED the court until the court could produced the law that claimed they, the Browns, must pay income tax. Their demand of "SHOW ME THE LAW" has been unyielding and is growing in momentum throughout our country, especially after jury acquittals of others who have made the same demand -- "SHOW ME THE LAW".

I, Raymond Ronald Karczewski©, have shown you the way in my two bogus Unconstitutional, Administrative Court Trials (Josephine County, Oregon Criminal Court Case Numbers 02CR0617 and 03CR0170), which demanded the courts answer the questions: "SHOW ME YOUR JURISDICTION."

Although the bogus courts convicted me of 7 counts of PAPER TERRORISM, they soon THREW ME OUT OF JAIL. Since and to this day, I continue to do the very same actions which accounted for their bogus convictions, THEY REFUSE TO COME AFTER ME; for if they did, they would have to answer the questions of JURISDICTION, which they have evaded since 2002.

You have seen Justice in these two cases. It does not come from the Corrupt courts of our land, it comes from WE THE PEOPLE.

Ed and Elaine Brown and I have shown that the corporate law of man DOES NOT HAVE THE TEETH IT PURPORTS TO HAVE when it comes to dealing with, or coercively asserting jurisdiction, over Living, Breathing, Flesh-and-Blood, Sentient, Natural Men and Women, Sovereign under God.

Their bluff was called on these two occasions, and these Courts of Mammon were STOPPED COLD IN THEIR SATANIC TRACKS. Lady Justice who stands over, and represents the courts of man is a TOOTHLESS HAG!!

Now it's up to you, the People of America. Do you want to be the Sovereign People you once were, or do you embrace your new status of Corporate Slaves?

Take back your country. Do it Nonviolently. BOYCOTT, BOYCOTT, BOYCOTT. Back that up with the Resounding Cry heard throughout the Nation: SHOW US THE LAW!1. SHOW US YOUR JURISDICTION!!

If necessary, do it with a gun on your hip. No government can STRIP AWAY your God-given UNALIENABLE RIGHT TO LIFE, which includes self-defense, especially the same government which threatens its own people with hunches of "Terrorist Attacks" and will allow it to declare WAR on the Sovereign People through Martial Law.

Raymond Ronald Karczewski©

Editor's Note: I hope you can somehow tone down some of your other offerings - loosen up the collar. This piece is more focused which is why it was posted.

10 Ways to Build a Cult-Like Following

2007-07-17T13:45:00.001-07:00

There are many voices in the world telling you what to believe and how to live. Some are benign and some are malicious. You have to determine which is which for yourself. Some appear benign, however, upon closer scrutiny they are revealed to be as "wolves in sheep's clothing." It is STILL up to YOU to determine the difference. Learning the difference between good and evil, light and dark and the difficult middle ground is part of the maturing process. Some start it and never finish. Others begin and go for awhile until they reach a comfort level and stay there. Some continue on learning and growing until they die. The level of self-revelation, maturity and personal responsibility is up to YOU. The wonderful thing about being an individual (non-legal terminology) is that YOU CAN learn from others and their experiences both good and bad. However, the "trick" is to NOT BE TRICKED by however well intentioned the expert, leader, guru or prophet is. The following is offered for your consideration as a methodology to help you determine if you are being subtly "schnookered." By the way, you will notice that Ron Paul does NONE of these techniques of manipulation.

Hebrews 5:14 But solid food is for the matured, for those who, through their disciplined senses and mental faculties, are trained by practice to discriminate and distinguish between what is morally good and noble and what is evil and contrary either to divine or human law.

Genesis 3:1 "Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made."

10 Ways to Build a Cult-Like Following

By JK Ellis

Author of Mind Control 101

What steps are there for anyone who wants people to want his/her attention and wisdom?

The result are 10 ways to build a cult-like following. Of course each one of them could be a book in itself but here goes.

1. Initiation vs. Instruction

There is a marked difference between learning by instruction and learning by initiation.

Most people give instruction. This is nothing more than stating facts and teach processes. Any good teacher does that as well as most bad ones.

Learning by initiation is about creating an experience that makes the learning personal and visceral to the student. A good example of that is the 1984 movie “The Karate Kid” . On the one hand you have the macho western karate instructor who taught his students by instruction in a skill 'n' drill process. On the other hand you have the character played by Pat Marito who says that he will teach Ralph Macchios' character karate in exchange for doing chores. But the chores must be done in a certain way “This way wax on. This way wax off.” Only later does the young hero find out that there was a method to his instructors madness and when he figured it out it made complete sense to him as if struck by a lightening bolt.

There are many things that you could simply tell someone and they would intellectually understand but they wouldn't “get it” as an insight. They would only see it as information. The result is that they may use it or they may not.

Teaching by initiation means holding back on simply telling what the student wants to know and instead provide an experience where the student “gets it” on their own.

The subjective experience of the student is that the lesson is much more valuable because 1) they had to work for it and 2) it is felt more personally.

2. Being Accessible

Someone once told me that “There are no long lines for the guru at the bottom of the hill.”

Making yourself scarce adds perceived value but it also distances you from the masses. If you want a cult-like following you need access to the masses otherwise you're just an ivory tower wannabe.

There is an ingenious compromise.

Be accessible as a person but present your knowledge and wisdom as being rare, expensive, mysterious, and only for those who are truly ready for it.

This compromise allows you to build deep personal bonds with people yet have them want more or your presence... as well as be willing to pay for it.

Keep in mind that one cult leader, 2000 years ago, would speak to anyone who would listen but he granted his most sacred attention to his 12 closest disciples.

You can add to this compromise by having “special times” when you are not accessible to anyone. You can tell people that you are meditating, or doing your “spiritual practice” but you don't have to say anything. It's the mystery of why you are absent that you want to cultivate.

3. Imply Secret Knowledge

The role of simply remaining calm and silent will recur again in this essay so I can't understate it. Here is where silence is worth a 1000 words. Saying things like “Hmmm... There are 100 possible solutions to that within your own mind.” and nothing else implies things that you know and that they should know.

4. Remaining calm as if all-knowing

Any sharp change in your emotional state, with the exception of joy and laughter, should be minimized. Any leader/teacher who goes on an angry rant is demonstrating their own lack of control. If you truly have control it should be demonstrated by an unshakable calm as if everything is happening just as you knew it would.

I've always remembered that the scariest martial artist are the ones that don't talk or threaten... they calmly do what they have to do and walk away.

5. Create a detached involvement as if “you” are in a “higher place”

In doing this people will look to you as if there is something more to you than your mere physical presence.

6. Connect deeply with the individual

Here rapport is vital. When you are with people you need to put aside all of your distractions, obligations and problems to focus completely on the person or people you to whom you are speaking.

7. “Chunk Up” whenever possible

This may be a bit abstract to grasp but it's important to creating an appeal because it forces people to think in bigger terms. When you do consistently if gives the impression that you are always thinking bigger than them.

“Chunking Up” is an NLP term that means referring to something that contains what is spoken about as a subset . It can also refer to something that controls or has a larger reach than the topic at hand.

As an example when a person asks “Do you enjoy adult beverages?” a chunked up response would be “There are many adult pleasures I enjoy.” Here, “beverages” is a subset of “pleasures”.

Another example : Statement: “I'll go with you if you promise to control yourself.” Response “I have no intention of controlling how much I enjoy myself.” Here “control” is a subset of “Enjoyment”.

8. Always allude to the mysterious

This can be done by doing the opposite of name dropping. Refer to a very skilled person you learned from who doesn't normally take students. Mention an arcane text that describes a mysterious process you went through. Mention it took you ten years of study to read between the lines and find the real meaning to the work.

9. God-Like Confidence

Here is where the work of Blair Warren in “The Worlds Greatest Cult” really comes in handy. He describes what's called “The God Complex” which encompasses many of the concepts discussed here.

The God Complex is a great example of “chunking up” because it's about seeing EVERYTHING that can possibly happen as if it's all part of the plan and being okay with it.

The God Complex is about having such a larger view of the world and your place in it so that what you are doing, this very moment , regardless of what transpires will be as if it was meant to you be.

The bottom line is that people are going to judge and criticize you; you'll have deal with money and security issues; relationships will change... no matter what. The God Complex includes all of that in a philosophy that allows you to deal with it in a healthy perspective.

10. Appeal to peoples needs and wants

A deep understanding about what people truly respond to is vital if you want to influence anyone. Each individual has their own wants and needs that you have keep in the forefront of your mind.

Good NLP training will help you with that.

People will also respond to the same basic needs being fulfilled; the need to be needed, the need for hope in a tough time, the need to feel in control, the need blame something else for their troubles, the need to learn about something they don't know or not supposed to know.

Conclusion

The desire for a cult-like following has many benefits and many responsibilities. The hardest of the responsibilities is simply living up to what you are presenting to people. For that reason I always recommend that you live what you teach.

The Role of Cognitive Distortion

From Captive Hearts: Captive Minds by Madeleine Tobias and Janja Lalich, Hunter House, 1994; 101-103

Proponents of cognitive therapy, based on the work of Aaron Beck and others, believe that by changing the way we think we can have a profound effect on the way we feel.(6) In Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy, David Burns outlines 10 common mistakes in thinking, which he calls cognitive distortions.(7) These distortions are explained here in the context of post cult recovery.
1. All-or-nothing thinking: Cults teach black-and-white thinking, such as “Everyone outside the group is controlled by Satan or is evil,” “The leader is God and cannot make mistakes,” “You must always strive for perfection in order to reach the group’s goal.” Such thinking stifles personal growth and keeps a person pitted against the rest of the world.
2. Over generalization: Simply making one mistake can cause a person to leap to the conclusion that the group’s predictions about dire consequences for those who leave are indeed coming true. Former members often have difficulty allowing themselves to make mistakes without hearing criticisms in their head. Reviewing actions at the end of the day, no matter how simple, can help counterbalance the internal cult “chatter.”
3. Mental filter: cults teach people to dwell on their mistakes and weaknesses. In many cults each day’s activities are reviewed, with concentration placed on any “sins” or wrongdoing. All thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are cause for criticism, prayer, and repenting. After such training, a person may obsess about a small mistake and lose sight of the positive things that are happening. Anything negative becomes a focus that filters out everything else.
4. Disqualifying the positive: One means of cult control is to not allow members to take pride in their achievements. All that is good comes from the Master, while members are made to feel stupid and inadequate. Making lists of personal strengths and accomplishments may counteract this reaction.
5. Jumping to conclusions: There are two forms of coming to a negative conclusion, which are probably familiar to ex-members:

(a) Mind reading: Those who were in New Age or Eastern cults may have been led to believe that mind reading is real. This belief is used to make assumptions about others. Doing the same now may be counterproductive. Don’t jump to conclusions about another person’s actions or attitudes. Don’t substitute assumptions for real communication.

(b) Fortune telling: Cults predict the failure of their critics, dissenters, and those who leave. Former members sometimes believe that depression, worry, or illness is sure to hound them (and their family) forever. Remember, such phobias and distortions have nothing to do with reality but have been instilled by the cult.

6. Magnification (catastrophizing) and minimization: Magnifying the members’ faults and weaknesses while minimizing strengths, assets, and talents is common. The opposite holds true for the leader. This trend has to be reversed in order to rebuild self-esteem, although reaching a balanced perspective may take time. Feedback from trustworthy, nonjudgmental friends may be helpful here.
7. Emotional reasoning: In groups that place emphasis on feeling over thinking, members learn to make choices and judge reality solely based on what they feel. This is true of all New Age groups and many transformational and psychology cults. Interpreting reality through feelings is a form of wishful thinking. If it really worked, we would all be wealthy and the world would be a safe and happy place. When this type of thinking turns negative, it can be a shortcut to depression and withdrawal: “I feel bad, worthless, and so on, therefore I am bad, worthless, and so on.”
8. “Should” statements: Cult beliefs and standards often continue to influence behavior in the form of shoulds, musts, have tos, and oughts. These words may be directed at others or at oneself-for example, thinking, “I should get out of bed.” The result is feeling pressured and resentful. Try to identify the source of these internal commands. Do they come from the former cult leader? Do you really want to obey him anymore?
9. Labeling and mislabeling: Ex-members put all kinds of negative labels on themselves for having been involved in a cult: stupid, jerk, sinner, crazy, bad, whore, no good, fool. Labeling oneself a failure for making a mistake (in this case, joining the cult) is mental horsewhipping. It is an overgeneralization, inaccurate, cruel, and, like the other cognitive distortions, untrue and self-defeating. Labeling others in this way is equally inaccurate and judgmental. If there must be labels, how about some positive ones?
10. Personalization: Burns calls this distortion “the mother of guilt.” A primary weapon of mind control is training members to believe that everything bad that happens is their fault. The guilt that accompanies this sort of personalizing is crippling and controlling. You are out of the cult now, so it is important only to take responsibility for what is yours.

These 10 cognitive errors are all habits of thinking that are deeply ingrained by the thought-reform processes and cult indoctrination. Tendencies toward these distortions may have been in place even before a person’s cult involvement, which may have enhanced vulnerability to recruitment and increased susceptibility to the cult’s practices. Given the habit of these kinds of destructive thinking patterns, is it any wonder that former cult members sometimes feel depressed? The good news is, like any habit, these patterns of thinking can be broken and discarded through awareness and practice.

Browns' bash draws about 200

PLAINFIELD – An estimated 200 people turned out for the "Live Free or Die Concert" at the Plainfield home of convicted tax evaders Ed and Elaine Brown yesterday. As of early evening, police were calling it a peaceful gathering.

About 100 cars lined one side of the Browns' half-mile driveway by early afternoon. Helicopters circled overhead as new arrivals searched for parking.

At least four musical acts -- Poker Face, Blue Eyed Fools, Paperback Radio, Dave von Kliest and Matt Kazee -- were scheduled to perform at the party, which the Browns promoted on their Web site as featuring "food, drinks and fun."

Plainfield police regulating traffic at the top of the driveway said they would tow any vehicles parked on Center of Town Road.

Plainfield Police Chief Gordon Gillens said a traffic counter he installed Friday on the gravel, dead-end road more than a mile from the Browns' property was stolen sometime between 9 p.m. and midnight.

►Brown standoff tense before concert
►Brown decides property taxes are not worth paying

"We're not happy with that deal, that they stole our counter -- or somebody did," Gillens said. Stealing the $1,500 piece of equipment amounts to a class A felony, he added.

Several of the Browns' supporters videotaped the chief and another officer as they finished installing the traffic counter Friday afternoon.

Brown and his supporters welcomed a New Hampshire Union Leader and Sunday News reporter into their home Friday, but yesterday turned away that same reporter, saying "mainstream media" were unwelcome and that only "alternative media" were allowed on the property.

The Browns continue to demand the federal government show them the law that makes them liable to pay federal income taxes; a law they say does not exist. They have vowed not to serve their five-year prison sentences, and to fight back with deadly force if federal agents try to apprehend them.

U.S. Marshal Steve Monier has said he's determined to resolve the impasse peacefully.

Yesterday, Monier said local police were updating him regularly about the activity at the Browns' house. He would not say whether the helicopters flying above the property contained federal agents.

"I'm not going to get into what kind of resources we have there," he said.

"We have taken steps to ensure that there are adequate resources available to Chief Gillens and his department to preserve public safety."

The live music and partying at the Browns' was scheduled to last until 10 p.m. last night, interspersed with speeches by Ruby Ridge survivor Randy Weaver and others.
YOUR COMMENTS

The voices of UnionLeader.com readers:

The Browns are correct because there really is no law requiring us to pay taxes on our wages. As has already been mentioned this tax is actually a tax that only applies to income. Income is defined as income of a corporation, but is never associated with wages of an individual. The reason for this is that the government is not given the power in the constitution to tax peoples wages. Because the tax is not apportioned through the states by popluation it is therefore a tax that requires some concious action be taken that then required you to pay the tax. In this case that action would be signing a contract with the federal government(becoming a corporation). Additionally it must be something that you could choose not to do and therefore not pay the tax. Working for wages is not something you could choose not to do and still survive so therefore it cannot be taxed this way. THE 16TH AMENDMENT DOES NOT CHANGE THIS. We as tax payers are tricked into providing our SSN or "tax id number" to our employers who are tricked into thinking they are required to have us fill them out. When we fill in our SSN on that form what we are actually doing is basically agreeing that our wages are taxable
- CJ, Austin

Someone mentioned the Browns have been shown Title 26 USC. If you'd bother to READ this law, it is about the rates of taxation and refers to taxable income. Then it provides a definition of taxable income which says this is derived from gross income. Then gross income is not defined in this Title 26 USC anywhere. Now, if you investigate law and case presidence, the term INCOME is not the same as WAGES. INCOME is "profit" or NET GAINS, usually corporate or investment returns in nature. The difference between PROFIT and WAGES is that a worker does not profit from his labor...he is given fair compensation for his labor. Labor has been defined in our laws and case history as our private property which we exchange for monies. This is not INCOME. Additionally, Supreme Court of the USA has rules that 16th Amendment does not give any new powers of taxation. The Browns, like many, were forbidden to present this evidence and experts to show this in their case. Also realize that the idea that you cannot beat the IRS in court is a lie. In those cases where this defense is not *illegally* prevented, the defendant often wins against the IRS. Overall the defendants against the IRS tend to win about 50% of the time. If you are a patriot and believe in our Constitution, you will support the Browns AND Wesley Snipes!

Have any of you even read Title 26 of the US tax code or any of the tax code? Do any of you even know where the income tax that is collected is for? Search "Income tax" in google video. The first one you should see is "Theft by Deception: Deciphering the Federal Income Tax". This video is a logical and methodical break down of the US tax code as it pertains to the income tax. You are actually shown the Tax Code and all of its revisions over the last century. That should get you started. Saying Ed Brown is a free loader living off of our taxes is a misnomer. The money collected by the IRS that is our income tax is used to pay off only the debt incurred by the US govt. from borrowing money from the Federal reserve. Basically only interest is payed off. Before any of you start bashing these peaceful protesters how about doing some real research.
- Chris Adams, Indianapolis IN

For everyone here that thinks Ed. is breaking a law, let me remind you the Federal income Tax is a voluntary tax. No laws are broken by not paying it. Get your facts straight.
- Dan, Portland ME

The US Marshal is right to end this peacefully and I neither supoort or condem the Browns actions and wosh not to judge any person. If the govt wants to end this simply dig up the road with a backhoe in front of their driveway, it will stop alot of activity period. Jim
- jim mitchell, rockingham vt

Why have the media ignored United States Code, Title 28, Judiciary, Section 3002(15) which defines the "United States" as a municipal corporation? The United States District Court in Concord is a territorial tribunal created by congress and has only that jurisdiction that congress has delegated to it. Congress has limited this tribunal to "CIVIL JURISDICTION" only. Many observers have studied Title 28 with me and can find NO CRIMINAL JURISDICTION having been delegated by congressional Act to the Concord Tribunal. If anyone can produce such delegation of power, let them do so, for a the Browns have said, "show me the law". Logic and reason dictates that if there is no jurisdiction for the proceedings that have taken place, then Coram non Judice must prevail and dismissal for lack of jurisdiction is demanded. Attention all lawyers and Judges. Honor your OATHS.
- Dick Marple, 11 Dartmouth Street Hooksett

Ed has been shown the law, Title 26 USC, numerous times. Ed just believes he is not subject to it, as he claims he is a "free being" ruled only by "natural law" and answerable only to divine authority. Ed is also a welch, as he has not paid the reward he offered for showing him the law, which countless people did. The AG and US Marshalls are wasting taxpayer money at this point. The Browns have been convicted and sentenced. They should be taken into custody and begin serving their sentences.
- Len B, Monroe

I was at the Browns yesterday attending the concert. Their home is not 'fortresslike' as often described. It is a lovely house designed for the view the property offers. The grounds are like a park. Your reporter mentioned the helicopter(s). Think what you might about taxes, what can justify the expense of keeping a helicopter in the air for hours on end,much less buzzing half the citizens of Plainfield? Lloyd Danforth Keene
- Lloyd Danforth, Keene

It doesn't matter what law they show this freeloader - he has an excuse as to why it's not applicable. It's been shown to him numerous times. It's plain as day. He continues to insist on living off of the rest of us. It's not my problem if his wife is too ignorant to realize he had used her all these years...ignorance isn't a crime...he gets to run around in the woods and play army man with his buddies and she supports him. Her choice. The world is full of followers who crave brainwashing and he is bright enough to manipulate these simpletons who follow him. Again, not my problem. Basically, I am just bored with this - let's just drop one of those daisy cutters on the property with or without them present . Doesn't matter to me either way really - is my view the majority or minority in terms of the general populace? Pretty obvious. Tell them we're dropping a bomb and let them decide how to proceed. The daisy cutter is dropped via parachute so he'll have ample opportunity to run out in his yard and shoot at it since that's all he really wants to do anyway. Freeloader boys and their toys.......
- Bob, Plymouth

All of the questions asked here by others can be answered by doing your own research. One question was, "Why doesn't someone show them this law and end this whole thing?" My response is simply, what law is it someone should show them? To my knowledge, the Browns are offering 1 million dollars worth of property to anyone who can show them the law and they allegedly owe about $250,000 in taxes. Why would they do this, and put their lives on the line in the process, if there was a law? Show them the law and reap the reward. The government can't. Ask yourself why former IRS employees like Sherry Peel Jackson, Joe Banister and others have been unable to find the law. Find out what what the OMB Control Number at the top of a 1040 means. As difficult as it seems to be for many of us to believe, there is no law and the 16th Amendment gave no new powers of taxation to the government. If they didn't have the power to tax income from wages before, they don't have it now. Might wish to research where the money goes when you illegally pay income tax -- yes, i said illegally because if you sign a 1040 that you used to report income from wages as a citizen or resident alien working within the continental US, you are breaking the law. And please, if you are in the neighborhood, go and visit them. You'll be welcomed with open arms and you can ask all the questions you want. Best time is on weekdays in the mornings as they are very busy.
- Kerry Lahn, Plattsberg, NY

I applaud the state's effort for not making this into another Waco or Ruby Ridge. However, these people are rubbing the face of every tax paying, law abiding citizen - and definately making life for Plainfield residents unpleasant. Time to not let anyone in or out. Time to shut off the power and time to throw these nuts in jail
- Cojo, manchester

What a great party. Too bad you guys were not let in. We had a lot of fun. The music was pretty good. The weather was perfect. :)
- Russell Kanning, Keene

First I would like to say I am neither a supporter of the Browns or any other non law abiding citizen...But I believe that I read Mr Browns comment the other day stating that he would pay his back taxes if he were shown the law requiring it. Why doesn't someone show them this law and end this whole thing. I think that the longer it goes on the more people will climb aboard the wacky beliefs of the Browns....When they are shown the law let them pay up, if they dont go in and get them whatever it takes. If it turns to Waco or Ruby Ridge so be it We have laws and they need to be enforced. Not enforcing the law shows that it is ok to not follow them. How much medical care would the money the Browns owe pay for to treat a wounded soldier. A soldier that was wounded protecting their rights to defy our government.
- Steve Robbins, Woodsville

What a waste of taxpayer's money-federal and local. They have probably spent more money watching this guy than he owes the government. What a mockery. Are we using Homeland Security money for this-maybe the feds should spend more money looking for terrorists.
- stephen rowe, rochester

I cannot understand why, even after warrants have been issued, the US Marshals and the Plainfield Police are allowing people on the Browns property. I find it disheartening that the Browns are allowed to make a mockery of the Justice System that we all believe in, and that the US Marshals and the Plainfield Police are helping!!
- Catrina, Manchester

Why are people being allowed on the Brown's property in the first place? It seems to me a full blockade is what's needed if the Brown's are to surrender and end this foolish standoff.
- Jeff Long, Concord NH

Why does US Marshall Monier continue to sit back on his political butt and let the Browns make a mockery of the law? They are convicted felons, in complete defiance of federal law and the federal courts and Monier continues to insist that the matter will be settled peacefully. Apparently the US Marshall is a politician first and a Federal law enforcement officer, last, or not at all.
- Peter Riesenberg, Keene

all i have is one comment,the Browns must be onto something otherwise why has this law not been shown, why has this law not been spread all over the front pages of every local newspaper if it does indeed exist

Truth Attack Hits Illinois State Senator Chris Lauzen

2007-07-16T05:29:00.000-07:00

We received this email this morning from Mike Fogelsanger who hails from Sycamore Illinois:

Details of Tom Cryer's trial, and the loss of the I.R.S. on a Income Tax case!

Date: July 15, 2007 8:35 pm (10 hours ago)
From Mike Fogelsanger (mike60178@comcast.net)
To: Illinois State Senator Chris Lauzen & Contacts list
Subject: Details of Tom Cryer's trial, and the loss of the I.R.S. on a Income Tax case!

Chris:

I know you are busy trying to get a buget done for the State, and I understand it is hard work. But I thought you may find the below information interesting, so I have provided it for your review. We have talked about the Income Tax issue for years, and yet here is another case were if the jury can see the evidence they tend to find the defendant not guilty! Since you have seen Arron Russo's movie America;Freedom To Fascism you already know much of this information. But we have several cases now to look at, Tom Cryer, Joe Banister (former I.R.S. agent), Vernice Kuglin, and here in Illinois Gaylon Harrel all found NOT GUILTY on Income Tax cases. So there must be some doubt about the Tax code and who it applies to.

I hope you will start asking the questions that need to be asked, because when we ask them they are simply ignored. We need to know can you SHOW ME THE LAW that makes us liable for the Federal Income Tax? If not, the Illinois State bubget will have more problems. Because the Illinois State Income Tax clearly requires that you must be liable for Federal Income Tax in order to be liable for the State Income Tax. So if there is no clear liability then there is no obligation to pay either Tax!

Senator Lauzen I believe the Illinois Department of Revenue, and the I.R.S. are using Deception, Fraud, and Intimidation to collect taxes from citizens who do not owe them. In a free Country that should make you very uncomfortable.

ON COUNT 1, NOT GUILTY
ON COUNT 2, NOT GUILTY

Dear Fellow Truth Troopers,

Early reports have been spreading, circulating around the tax honesty community that Shreveport, Louisiana lawyer, Tommy K. Cryer has been found NOT GUILTY of 'willful failure to file' charges by a 12-0 jury verdict in the Federal District Court for Western Louisiana, in Shreveport, LA. My friend it's TRUE and what follows is a summary of the trial leading up to the emotionally inspiring verdict including exclusive quotes courtesy of Mr. Tommy Cryer.

First, I want to thank each and everyone of you who attended the trial for your unwavering support and peaceful, respectful

nature during every phase of this historical trial where Mr. Cryer, the truth AND the rule of law prevailed today, July 11, 2007 in the United States of America. Truth Attack had approximately 25 Truth Troopers (some from as far away as 1,200 miles!) attending the three-day proceedings topping the historical event off with a "victory for the rule of law" celebration after the unanimous not guilty verdict was read in open court.

Today, July 11, 2007 Mr. Tommy K. Cryer, a lawyer from Shreveport, Louisiana was found not guilty by a 12-0 verdict on two separate counts of violating Title 26 Section 7203, willful failure to file federal income tax returns for the "tax-years" 2000 and 2001 respectively, which carried a two-year prison sentence had the government prevailed.

The trial began July 9. 2007 at 8:30 AM at the United States District Court for Western Louisiana located at 300 Fannin Street in Shreveport, Louisiana. Judge Maurice Hicks presided over the trial, Earl Campbell represented the Internal Revenue Service by and through the U.S. Department of Justice and Mr. Larry Becraft represented Mr. Tommy K. Cryer as lead defense counsel, with Mr. George Harp assisting.

Day One: July 9, 2007
The first order of business was a government Motion To Dismiss two of the total four counts of the government's indictment. Originally, the indictment was brought with two counts of "tax evasion" and two counts of "willful failure to file" a federal income tax return. Mr. Cryer was facing 5 + 5 years in federal prison and with the government dropping its two counts of fede ral income tax evasion, Mr. Cryer's exposure to jail time had been reduced to two years.

After the government's Motion to Dismiss was granted, jury selection took place and the panel of 12 jurors and two alternates were seated and were listening to opening arguments of the parties by 4:00 PM. After opening arguments the Court recessed until 9:00AM Tuesday.

Day Two: July 10, 2007
Day Two started with the government presenting its case in the morning session and Tom taking the stand and offering his direct testimony until the close of yesterday's proceedings...

The government first brought an IRS supervisor to the stand... her testimony established the paperwork flow and indicated that Tommy filed "employer" documentation for his "employee" but did not file his individual returns.

Next was Tommy's secretary... she did not show up as a hostile witness towards the prosecution... but in the same breath, she did not give the government any help when she testified that she fills out all of her own IRS from r equired of the employer, and even writes and signs most of the checks!

The DOJ tried to get in a point in that area... and she said that Tommy gave her the option to file or not-- then he abruptly stopped her... then on another question... she added that it was her choice to file even after she found out that there was no law making he liable-- where of course, he cut her off again.

The CPA took the stand and testified to profit and loss statements related to Tommy's practice of law... he simply established the numbers but never stated with authority to the lawful and legal definition of income... Larry was able to establish that the CPA had only a very insignificant understanding of the IRC.

The government's final witness was an IRS "special agent" in the Criminal Investigation Division who testified to the 'audits' of Tom's business and on Larry's cross-exam made it clear that the 'Code" is enormous and he only knew small bits and pieces of some of it... The IRS used Section 61 of the IRC to prop up its claim of liability to file and pay income taxes... but failed to clarify the first three words of Section 61... which state, "Unless otherwise provided..."

After lunch Tom took the stand... There were some fireworks during Tom's testimony and the judge was clearly aggravated with the rule of law being presented in 'his' courtroom... and several times stopped Tom's testimony. One of those times the judge brought up the "Cheek" ruling where Larry and the judge went around and around on Tom's right to present his beliefs to the jury. The judge overruled and objection of the prosecutor on another occasion but also warned Larry about the "very narrow" path he's taking the case and will not allow Tom to argue that the IRS is unconstitutional... which of course Tom never intended to do and has not done in the least.

Day Two ended with the judge calling counsel into the judge's chamber and unload ing... venting his frustration mainly aimed at Larry and Tom taking over the courtroom and plowing ahead with getting the Internal Revenue Code... the Code of Federal Regulations the Constitution and a plethora of Supreme Court cases in front of the jury. At the close of the preceding day’s hearing... the judge ordered Larry to turn over Tom's notes and research to the DOJ as the court believed that

Tom's notebook filled with law and supporting Supreme Court cases was "discovery" and therefore the DOJ was entitled to it, which is a crucial turning point that must be noted. Larry agreed with the court and the defense team looked forward to seeing more of it in the record and presented to the jury during cross-examination of Tom's beliefs.

The U.S. Department of Justice walked out of "Day Two" with years of Tommy Cryer's research that was condensed into a very well organized presentation, which proved that not only did Mr. Cryer believe what he had researc hed, but also proof that there is no law making him liable for any federal income tax on his right to earn a living.

Day three promises to be very interesting! The parties will meet prior to the start to discuss jury instructions before the jury is brought in and seated. The DOJ opens day three with cross-examination and Larry's re-direct may well occur before noon and closing arguments will surely take place before the close of today's proceedings...

Day Three: July 11
Tommy Cryer was seated at the witness stand and the U.S. Attorney opened his cross examination of Mr. Cryer with a series of questions establishing the fact pattern aimed at 'proving' that Mr. Cryer had 'income' and earned 'income' in the course of practicing law. Mr. Cryer had no effort to deny that he earned fees in exchange for his labor.

The line of questioning turned to finer points of the Internal Revenue Code related to Sections addressing the 'tax imposed' one 'in come' from whatever source derived. Listening very carefully Mr. Cryer addressed the spin on commonly used terms and pointed out that certain terms in the law had application of strict construction as ruled consistently by the U.S. Supreme Court. An argument of sorts ensued between the U.S. Attorney and Mr. Cryer on these finer points and ultimately the judge stopped the exchange and commented that the court reporter was having difficulty making the record.

Stepping back, the U. S. Attorney turned to Mr. Cryer and engaged a line of questions that addressed two U.S. Court of Appeals cases and asked Mr. Cryer if he had any occasion to read the rulings in those cases. Mr. Cryer explained to the jury that one of the cases the U.S. Attorney quoted was in the form of a footnote, and the other had nothing to do with a 'willful failure to file' action to which was the matter before this court.

T he U.S. Attorney read into the record the 'footnote' of the first case he had asked Mr. Cryer about, and Mr. Cryer leaned forward and noted for the record and the jury that the full statement the Court of Appeals issued in its footnote clearly stated that neither party briefed the issue on appeal and it had no bearing on the opinion of the Court.

It should be noted that (with Mr. Cryer's trial notes in hand) at this point the U.S. Government (the IRS and the DOJ) did not make any effort to contest any of the content of Mr. Cryer's testimonial notebook, which was organized in such a fashion that anyone with experience in legal research could follow the line of reasoning that Mr. Cryer had used in order to arrive at his heartfelt beliefs.

The U.S. Attorney held up Mr. Cryer's 108-page Memorandum and cited one phrase coined from a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that pointed out... that the incom e tax (Internal Revenue Code) is unconstitutional--expecting a "yes" or "no" answer.

Mr. Cryer kindly directed the U.S. Attorney back to the Memorandum and stated that HE didn't say that the Internal Revenue Code was unconstitutional... but that the U.S. Supreme Court had held that AS APPLIED the income tax WOULD BE UNCONSTITUTIONAL!

"No further questions your Honor."

Mr. Becraft approached Mr. Cryer and addressed each of the government's efforts to derail Mr. Cryer's beliefs. One after one, the defense closed each open gate espousing the government's contentions and ended the re-direct with Mr. Cryer confidently stating that he swore an oath to defend the rule of law and he had no other option when it came to his beliefs, which are today as they were yesterday and as they will be tomorrow, "There is NO LAW making me liable for the federal income tax."

Counsel delivered closing arguments with the government addressing the jury first and reserving time for rebuttal. The U.S. Attorney stressed his argument that there is a law and the law made Mr. Cryer Liable for the federal income tax system. Asking the jury to rule our willfulness and in due turn, convict Mr. Cryer of breaking the law and seeing to it that Mr. Cryer is found guilty of failing to do his duty of filing federal income taxes.

Mr. Becraft started his closing arguments by informing the jury that "today in this court room…" there are, in a sense, four branches of the United States Government. Mr. Becraft pointed to the federal law books and said that those books were written and the laws forged by the legislative branch of our government, Congress.

He continued by giving generous praise to the U.S. Attorney for doing a fine job representing the Executive branch of the federal governm ent in the courtroom. Mr. Becraft gestured to the judge and remarked that the judicial branch of the government presided over this proceeding making certain that justice and the rule of law remained intact according to our Constitution.

Then, Mr. Becraft turned to the jury and said the fourth branch is the jury… the American people that our founding fathers believed to be the ultimate deciding factor as to whether justice is done.

Mr. Becraft’s eloquent summation of the jury’s duty to weigh the facts in this case were so very vital to this ensuring that our system of justice moved forward intact and secure. Mr. Becraft reviewed the flow of testimony reminding the jury that nowhere during this trial did Mr. Cryer deny or object the government as to advancing its intention to show that he had earnings.

He went on to say that the issue in this case is Mr. Cryer’s beliefs and the fact pattern that Mr. Cryer used as he presented his beliefs were so convincingly delivered that even if they did not fully understand the legal interpretations testified to, Mr. Cryer undoubtedly believed those conclusions.

The Judge Hicks recessed for a break and upon return read the jury instructions and the jury retired to the jury room. After a little more than two hours of deliberation the judge called the parties into the courtroom. There was a question as to jury instruction 17, which centered on reasonable doubt and to willfulness. The court reviewed the various jury instructions referencing those terms and after about 30 minutes of discussions and the approval of the parties, the court delivered a clarification to the jury.

By this time it was 4:30PM and the judge asked the jury if they wanted to recess for the day or continue? The reply was they wished to stay a little longer to deliberate. The judge informed the parties and the courtroom was cleared. Together, Mr. Cryer’s legal team and supporters returned to the first floor waiting area of the courthouse.

At 4:33PM the U.S. Marshal summonsed Mr. Becraft and company and announced that the jury had reached a verdict. Approximately at 4:35PM the jury returned to the courtroom and the customary tradition of the passing of the verdict to the judge for entry into the record and reading of it in open court took place.

Unanimously, NOT GUILTY.

Editor's Note: Illinois State Senator Chris Lauzen can be reached at the following address:

P.O. Box 7036 Aurora, Illinois 60507
p: (630) 264-2419 f: (630) 264-1566 e:campaign@lauzen.com

PS. I personally spoke with Senator Chris Lauzen after he saw Aaron Russo's movie, America: Freedom To Fascism (AFTF) in St. Charles Illinois on March 18, 2006. Mike Fogelsanger - who has been in contact with Senator Lauzen on this issue for many years - shamed Senator Lauzen to go to St. Charles that day and we have eye witnesses who indeed saw him there in the audience. After the March 18th screening of AFTF I sent out an email in response to a confrontational email that Mike had sent to Senator Lauzen in which could have been construed as questioning his integrity. Senator Lauzen was infuriated with my email and personally called me and screamed at me over the phone. After Chris' emotions calmed down I was able to talk to him about the need to get to the bottom of this issue for if we don't our entire country is at risk because you cannot build anything on a foundation rooted in fraud and corruption. Chris said he is willing to remain open about this issue. He said he looked into the ratification of the 16th ammendment to the Constitution and felt that it was done properly and that was about all he seemed to be interested in from a research and follow-up standpoint. He's a passionate guy who has got the ear and respect of his constituents, but on this issue he continues to do a masterful job of dodging, weaving and ducking.

Congressman Wright Patman On The Fraud From Within

2007-07-16T04:46:00.001-07:00

Here's a dandy story & quote:

Wright Patman (1893-1976) was a Democratic representative from Texas, who served in the U.S. Congress from 1929 to his death on March 7, 1976. He was chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Banking and Currency for 40 years. For 20 of those years, he introduced legislation to repeal the Federal Reserve Banking Act of 1913.

Here are excerpts from what he said on September 29, 1941, as reported in the Congressional Record of the House of Representatives (pages 7582-7583):

“When our Federal Government, that has the exclusive power to create money, creates that money and then goes into the open market and borrows it and pays interest for the use of its own money, it occurs to me that that is going too far. I have never yet had anyone who could, through the use of logic and reason, justify the Federal Government borrowing the use of its own money... I am saying to you in all sincerity, and with all the earnestness that I possess, it is absolutely wrong for the Government to issue interest-bearing obligations. It is not only wrong: it is extravagant. It is not only extravagant, it is wasteful. It is absolutely unnecessary.

“Now, take the Panama Canal bonds. They amounted to a little less than $50,000,000 — $49,800,000. By the time they are paid, the Government will have paid $75,000,000 in interest on bonds of less than $50,000,000. So the Government is paying out $125,000,000 to obtain the use of $49,800,000. That is the way it has worked all along. That is our policy. That is our system. The question is: Should that policy be continued? Is it sane? Is it reasonable? Is it right, or is it wrong? If it is wrong, it should be changed.

“Now, I believe the system should be changed. The Constitution of the United States does not give the banks the power to create money. The Constitution says that Congress shall have the power to create money, but now, under our system, we will sell bonds to commercial banks and obtain credit from those banks.

“I believe the time will come when people will demand that this be changed. I believe the time will come in this country when they will actually blame you and me and everyone else connected with this Congress for sitting idly by and permitting such an idiotic system to continue. I make that statement after years of study.

We have what is known as the Federal Reserve Bank System. That system is not owned by the Government. Many people think that it is, because it says `Federal Reserve'. It belongs to the private banks, private corporations. So we have farmed out to the Federal Reserve Banking System that is owned exclusively, wholly, 100 percent by the private banks — we have farmed out to them the privilege of issuing the Government's money. If we were to take this privilege back from them, we could save the amount of money that I have indicated in enormous interest charges.” (End of Patman's 1941 speech.)

End the unconstitutional Fed Reserve System. It enriches central bankers at our expense. Inflation of the money supply, along with obscene deficit-spending (done by Congress, BUT FACILITATED by the Fed Reserve), is the direct cause of price inflation.

Sincerely,
Scott
