Ron Paul More Popular Google Seach Term Than Paris Hilton, iPhone - KVUE segment on Ron Paul revealing that the Texas Congressman and presidential candidate gets more Google search hits than Paris Hilton or the iPhone. Paul's runaway popularity is growing every day and his chances of beating the other frontrunners are realistic. George Bush Jr and Dick Cheney allegedly got elected to the White House, with 3 DWI convictions

Las Vegas bookies pick Ron Paul as the only GOP frontrunner - Ron Paul Odds Slashed Dramatically From 200 to 1 to 15 to 1 in Just One Month. Payout $1500 for every $100 bet. We will likely be slashing odds further in the coming weeks and quite possibly days since Ron Paul’s momentum is really building. Representatives from Sportsbook.com agree that the backing of Paul is has been significant enough to shorten odds to what might very well amount to the biggest slashing in online gambling history. A fundamental shift is taking place in this country. People are learning how they have been manipulated and used. Thanks to the Internet, real news is leaking out. Thanks to sites like this we can stay truly informed and learn the things the bigwigs want to keep silent. We the People are tired of losing liberties. People are noticing what has been done to them and they don't like it. They are looking for someone to make a real shift in this country. They are looking for someone they can trust. Ron Paul is that person. Dr Paul raises over $7-million by June 2007, triple the contributions of John Manchurian McCain.

President Ron Paul on new 9/11 Investigation - "Whether you're talking about Ruby Ridge, Waco, 9/11 or assassinations, government 'investigations' are essentially coverups."

Ron Paul Junkie - Ron Paul's message of Truth & Freedom is addicting. As of 6-30-07, Ron Paul's YOU TUBE channel has more than 18,563 subscribers (10,000+ more than ANY OTHER candidate from ANY other party), and 1,303,772 channel views (next closest Republican candidate is Mitt Romney with only 2,343 subscribers and only 664,238 channel views).

Congressman Dr Ron Paul MD wins ALL TV polls - Media Mafia mute - Paul slaughtered all Republican Party candidates in MSNBC debate. Paul won 73% to Ghouliani's 4%, Manchurian McCain's 4%, and Mormon Romney's 8%. Pathological liars in Media Mafia claim Ghouliani won, based on how many millions of dollars in bribes he extorted, er, how many million$ in "leftover campaign contributions" he gets to keep. Drag Queen Ghouliani's father was a Mafia enforcer in Sing Sing prison for armed robbery. Lucky Larry Silverstein confessed on PBS TV that Ghouliani ordered the bombing of World Trade Center with preinstalled explosives. So South Carolina will ban Congressman Ron Paul from the next debate!

Ron Paul Rally in Iowa Outdraws Six-Candidate Iowa "Christian Tax" Forum - Lew Moore, our campaign manager, called Mr. Edward Failor, an officer of Iowans for Tax Relief, to ask about it. To our shock, Mr. Failor told us Dr. Paul was not invited; he was not going to be invited; and he would not be allowed to participate. Lew then called Mr. Steve Scheffler, president of the Iowa Christian Alliance, to talk with him. Mr. Scheffler did not answer so Lew left a message. He has yet to respond. Also, why would a person running a "tax relief" organization exclude the presidential candidate with arguably the best record on taxation, someone who favors the abolition of the income tax and the drastic reduction or elimination of nearly all other federal taxes? Ironically, the very day the Paul campaign discovered it had been barred from this Iowa event, they got a call from ABC News confirming Ron Paul's participation in the August 5 debate in Des Moines, Iowa! As it turns out, Edward Failor is a contributor and activist in the John McCain campaign. Considering that Ron Paul has been rising in the polls, as McCain has been falling, well, draw your own conclusions. Dr. Paul was the only GOP candidate excluded from the forum, so his campaign organized an event of its own. Despite being planned in less than a week, Dr. Paul's event singlehandedly outdrew the other forum and its six participating candidates by several hundred attendees. "Today, Ron Paul demonstrated how deeply his message of freedom and limited government is resonating across the nation," said campaign manager Lew Moore. "Ron Paul has generated more grassroots excitement and support than any other candidate in the race," continued Moore. "The campaign is building on this momentum around the country as we drive toward the nomination."

KITTY PILGRIM - "You want to physically secure our borders and coastlines, enforce visa rules. No amnesty. No welfare for illegal aliens. You want to end the birthright citizenship and pass true immigration reform. Would true immigration reform include a guest worker program, in your judgment?"

DR RON PAUL: "Well, you know, those words are tricky, because some times if you say you're for a guest worker program, all of a sudden they construe that now, the conventional wisdom is that there will be amnesty. And we have to deal with the welfare state. We can't allow the illegal immigrants to qualify for Social Security after working here for 18 MONTHS."

"Finding the Russian scientists may be a problem being that Russia does not have a Social Security System, as here in America, that allows us to MONITOR, TRACK DOWN and CAPTURE an American citizen." - General Colin Powell, chairman US Joint Chiefs of Staff at Pentagon, US Secretary of State, Butcher of Bagdad, Fox News, 06/17/01

COMMENT BY JOHN LEE, PIRATE NEWS

March 10, 2007

"My wife and I have paid Social Security 'taxes' for over 42 years. We are military veterans. My wife retired from the US Air Force after participating in the first Gulf War, and she was also a sergeant in the Tennessee Army National Guard. But when I became 100% disabled and could no longer work, I filed a claim for Social Security Disability 'insurance'. But Social Security Administration refused to pay, alleging that I 'did not have enough credits to qualify for Social Security Disability'. But the Social Security Administration will allow an illegal alien felon enemy combatant to qualify for full Social Security Retirement pension in only ONE YEAR, and the US Post Office will deliver their Social Security pension check to MEXICO! It has taken me 10 years to finally get in US District Court to appeal the fraudulent theft by the Administrative Law Judge employed by Social Security Administration, and the army of bureaurats employed by Social Security. And get this, the trial lawyers employed by US Department of Justice are using the absurd and fraudulent legal defense that I never did file for Social Security Disability, ignoring the fact that my Social Security file and ALJ Hearing transcripts officially include the fact that I did file for Disability. So now my pro se appeal in federal court in Knoxville will be a trillion-dollar precedent-setting 'class action', to officially allow disabled spouses to claim their spouses' Social Security credits, as Social Security Administration already confesses that US citizens have the right to do. This pro se "class action" also seeks to deny illegal aliens the right to steal billions of dollars in Social Security pension funds. Trial lawyers who specialize in Social Security cases allege to me that it is impossible for them to win my case, but I have already won precedent-setting trials pro se in other courts, that licensed lawyers alleged were impossible to win, including trials where the US Constitution was at stake. It appears that virtually the entire 'legal profession' is complicit in these mafia scams by gangsters in government. After we win this SS case, we'll sue the White House and Veterans Administration to get my wife's USAF pension, which was stolen by Gangsta Govt, as perped against 95% of all disabled retired veterans."

VICTORY! John Lee vs Social Security Administration 2007

VICTORY: Magistrate's Order granting Summary Judgment to plaintiff pro se in Disability and SSI case - Remand to SSA for award of disability compensation and/or ALJ re-hearing. Replacement magistrate described the stipulated facts in this appeal as "beyond the pale of anything seen by this magistrate judge in any other Social Security appeal", such as the fact that illegal aliens get full Social Security benefits after one year, Social Security Administration describes itself on its website and forms as an "insurance policy trust fund" while calling all Social Security pensions "welfare" in all court opinions, and Social Security Withholding taxes from all paychecks are triple-dipped and extorted as condition for employment (de facto "slave tax"). The magistrate's Recommendation to the district judge noted, "The process used by ALJ in arriving at his decision that the plaintiff is not disabled is most troubling. The vocational specialist's comments to which the ALJ refers in his decision [are] largely indecipherable. The Court has absolutely no inkling of the qualificiations of the vocational specialist. The ALJ decided not to endure another potentially unpleasant administrative hearing and elected not to establish a significant number of jobs through a qualified vocational expert. The vocational specialist comments are not substantial evidence that a significant number of jobs exist which a person with the plaintiff's severe mental impairments could perform." Magistrate failed to address the new RFC medical vocational evidence by plaintiff, proving kidney damage and/or failure, which prevents plaintiff from driving motor vehicles on a daily basis, and prevents sitting in chairs on a daily basis, or that plaintiff was forced to lie down on the floor during the ALJ hearing, due to severe back pain, or that "severe mental impairment from ADD" is a symptom of insomnia and myagenic encephalomyalitis (inflammation of the spinal cord and brain aka fibromyagia aka rheumatism) due to organic kidney disease, with only 1-hour of sleep before the ALJ hearing. According to the magistrate and ALJ, "beyond the pale" includes the US Constitution and several hundred pages of plaintiff's medical records, since SSA NEVER considers medical records when "determining" disability. The magistrate refused to grant injunctive relief for plaintiff, to stop 40-million illegal aliens from getting paid Social Security benefits.

3 shot in back of head point blank by his Mafia security guard
2 shot in head after "accidental" plane crash
1 shot in head by vice president

Or he could win the election unmolested, and do nothing for 4 years with a hung Congress. Which would be a great improvement.

Congressman Ron Paul Introduces Legislation to abolish the private Federal Reserve Bank corporation's counterfeiting scam of all US "dollar bills" - Rep. Paul introduced H.R. 2755 To abolish the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal reserve banks, to repeal the Federal Reserve Act, and for other purposes. Paul introduced a similiar bill back in July of 2003 which was censored by the committee of traitors in Congress.

Let's talk about TAX - Excellent message with some comical relief. Presidential candidate Ron Paul's message of tax relief and the abolishment of the fed reserve and income tax surely defeats this.

How to Sue Your Local Newspaper for Censoring the News AND WIN! - If every supporter of Ron Paul would write the following message to his/her local newspaper in a letter to the editor and be prepared to file a ‘lawsuit’ in small claims court for their violation of the contract stated on the newspapers ‘editorial’ page this would go a long way towards stopping the media censorship of Ron Paul and maybe he might get our message to more Americans.

April 15th The Fear Factor - Weekly radio show on Saturday mornings on WBCR 1470AM in Alcoa Tennessee. How to win in tax court or any court, from someone who actually did it. I always felt that the so-called ‘leaders’ in the tax revolution were missing the point. Then came Whitey Harrell and Venice Kuglin with notable acquittals. Why were they acquitted? Because they did not try to tell the court, what the law was. They were acquitted because they put on a “Good Faith Belief defense”, that they had not violated a ‘Known Legal Duty’. And it was this known legal duty, which the prosecutors (in both cases) did not identify to the Court in their complaint or in open court, the judges (in both cases) would not identify to the jury, when they were requested it! SHOW ME THE LAW! This type of defense first accomplishes two things: (1) It maintains your presumption of innocence; and (2) It keeps the burden of proof on the prosecutor. That’s pretty simple. Do I believe the prosecutor will ever tell the Court what provision of the internal revenue code imposes the “legal duty” on you to pay a personal federal income tax? NO! Because if he does, he will have stated a claim on which the court cannot grant relief and the judge will have to dismiss the case on that basis or, for lack of jurisdiction. Do I believe the judge will ever identify to the jury, the known legal duty? NO! Because, that known legal duty has never been presented with the “full” law of the case, by the prosecution, he can not give it to the jury, even if they request it. And since you are not the complaining party, you are not authorized to do it either. Bottom line is. In a criminal indictment, based on violations of the Internal Revenue Code. Relative to personal federal individual income tax, the indictment – HAS NOT ACTUALLY CHARGED YOU WITH “ANY” CRIME! Both the prosecutor and the judge know this. That is why they will never identify the law that “made you liable”, but the prosecution will move only on “implied presumption of a known legal duty! People like Larken Rose and his wife along with Dick Simkanen and Lynn Merideth made assertive claims and affirmative defenses based on what they perceived the law to be, or they made judgements regarding the law and its application to them. This is not your job but the court’s job!

Aaron Russo assassination trial - LOS ANGELES — A hedge fund manager and art collector from New York testified under immunity Tuesday that Anthony Pellicano, the Hollywood private detective accused of wiretapping and racketeering, had once offered to have a movie producer killed for him. Adam D. Sender, the owner of Exis Capital, a hedge fund that at one point had more than $1 billion in assets, said in Federal District Court here that he had paid Mr. Pellicano about $500,000 to investigate Aaron Russo, a producer and onetime talent manager whose film credits included “Trading Places” and "America: Freedom to Fascism". Mr. Russo died of cancer last year, and feared he was assassinated. Mr. Sender testified Tuesday that Mr. Pellicano had wiretapped Mr. Russo for a year and had played recordings of Mr. Russo’s intercepted phone calls for him 10 or 15 times. But Mr. Pellicano grew sick of listening to Mr. Russo, Mr. Sender said. And, in a “frightening” moment in the garden of Mr. Sender’s mansion in Bel-Air, he said, Mr. Pellicano suggested killing Mr. Russo. Jew Russo founded the Ron Paul Revolution, and was a presidential nominee for the Libertarian Party, just like Congressman Ron Paul.

AMERICAN FREE PRESS - Aaron Russo’s documentary movie, America: Freedom to Fascism, is a testament to his unwavering determination to inform the American people about who really runs the economic and political structure in this country.

On Sept. 26, AFP caught up with Russo for an exclusive interview to discuss the vast array of social ills and evils that the power elites have foisted on us over many decades.

Neither of Chicago’s major daily newspapers gave Russo any attention, despite his distinguished background in the Chicago music scene and his subsequent success in making popular movies such as Trading Places and The Rose.

“My conscience made me make the movie,” Russo said. “I have political knowledge, and no one else was doing it. I feel this is my duty as an American. . . . It had to be done; the media won’t tell the truth.”

Russo said there is 15 years of research behind the movie, and it took two years to put together. “I want to do a series of movies to wake up the people,” he said. “This is volume 1.”

He plans to soon make the movie available on DVD and viewable on the Internet for a modest fee that would help finance more movies.

Russo provided AFP with a private screening of the film, which clocks in at one hour, 47 minutes. In that time frame, Russo gets down to some disturbing fundamentals on what ails America. Weaving several big topics into a cohesive presentation, Russo, who narrates his own film, closely examines the Federal Reserve System, the legitimacy of the income tax, plans for a National ID for all Americans, details on tracking chips that can be placed under human skin and other compelling issues.

The film starts with the dark year of 1913, when the Money Trust, as it was sometimes called, took hold. To this day, it has Americans by the jugular.

That year, the secretive planning of foreign banker Paul Warburg, American banker J.P. Morgan and others to create an all-powerful, privately owned and controlled central bank with control of issuing and valuing money and manipulating interest rates was codified into law with the passage of the Federal Reserve Act. As Russo narrates, this was quietly done in late December of that year when many legislators were already home for the holidays.

The income tax comes next in the film. Also created in 1913 via the 16th Amendment, the tax was established to enable the federal government to collect vast sums of money to service the loans the central bankers would make to the government. This explains the growth of government over the years due to constant borrowing, which, of course, requires more and more taxes to offset the borrowing, combined with constant spending hikes to create and expand government departments and employ more government workers. The cycle never ends.

Russo notes that then-president Woodrow Wilson regretted the success of the banking oligarchy in putting this vast borrowing and collection engine into place.

He also addresses the legitimacy of the income tax, which is included in the Communist Manifesto but was conceptually declared unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1894. As recently as 2003, Russo says, U.S. District Judge James C. Fox declared that the 16th Amendment was not ratified. Of course, this runs contrary to a statement made by the secretary of state at the time the amendment was voted on by Congress that it was ratified by the states.

Russo does an admirable job of establishing that there is no law on the books to provide the legal basis for an unapportioned tax on the labor of the American people. He interviewed several former IRS agents, some of whom say they do not file 1040s anymore, to back that up. He also shows that the Internal Revenue Code does not define income.

“Government get its power from us, not the other way around,” Russo told AFP.

He then posed the question: Have so many American soldiers died in wars just so U.S. citizens can be “[micro-]chipped like a dog.”

He adds: “Stop being good Republicans. Stop being good Democrats. Start being good Americans.” The system itself must be used to legally abolish the Fed. The film is said to be resonating among people from many walks of life—liberals and conservatives, rich and poor, blacks and whites.

However, raising awareness about the documentary is not easy. Russo said he received a last-minute cancellation for a planned satellite-feed interview from the CNBC “Power Lunch” show with Bill Griffith when the show’s New York producers saw an advance copy. Too hot to handle, they concluded.

Russo said that interested persons can go to the web site, FreedomToFascism.com, and track the latest showings, including dates, times and addresses, and inquire about bringing the film to a city or town near you.

Previously Paul feared assassination by the Bush Crime Family if he entered the presidential race, which is also the official reason given by billionaire Reform Party nominee Ross Perot, who warned of "NAFTA's Giant Sucking Sound".

The Law That Never Was - The Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States was never ratified by a majority of the sovereign States. This is the Amendment that allegedly entitled the Federal Agent (government) in the federal territory of Washington, D.C. and their private collection company, the IRS, to collect "income tax" was falsely declared to be ratified in February 1913 by Secretary of State Philander Knox. List of states and how they voted as officially certified by all State governments

The Law That Never Was - The authority of the federal government to collect its income tax depends upon the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the federal income tax amendment, which was allegedly ratified in 1913. After a year of extensive research, Bill Benson discovered that the 16th Amendment was not ratified by the required 3/4 of the states, but nevertheless Secretary of State Philander Knox fraudulently announced ratification.

Legal memorandum in U.S. District Court by Tommy K. Cryer attorney at law

Attorney acquitted on federal income tax charges - A Shreveport attorney who has challenged the government for years on the legality of filing federal income taxes has been acquitted on charges he failed to file returns. A federal jury unanimously found Tommy Cryer not guilty this week on two misdemeanor counts of failure to file. And according to Cryer, the prosecution dismissed two felony charges of tax evasion prior to trial. Attempts by The Times on Thursday to reach U.S. Attorney Donald Washington or Bill Flanagan, first assistant U.S. attorney, were not successful. Calls made to the two were not immediately returned. "The court could not find a law that makes me liable or makes my revenues taxable," Cryer said. "The Supreme Court has ruled that the government cannot impose an income tax on anything but the profits and gains. When you work for someone you give your service and labor in exchange for money, so everything you make is not profit or gain. You put something into it." Cryer was indicted last year on two counts of tax evasion. The indictment alleged he evaded payment of $73,000 in income tax to the Internal Revenue Service during 2000 and 2001. Cryer created a trust listing himself as the trustee, and received payments of dividends, interest and stock income to that trust, according to the indictment. He also was accused of concealing his receipt of the sources of income from the IRS by failing to file a tax return on behalf of that trust. "I determined that my personal earnings were not 100 percent profits, some were income," Cryer said. "I refuse to file, I refuse to pay unless they can show me I have a lawful reason to pay." "What I earned was my own personal labor. I am giving something in exchange. I'm giving my property and I don't belong to anyone else." Cryer says he stopped filing returns more than 10 years ago after he investigated claims that income tax was a sham. He contends the law doesn't actually tax personal earning. July 13, 2007

Attorney Tom Cryer Wins Against the IRS - Shreveport attorney Tom Cryer won a unanimous NOT GUILTY verdict in federal district court defeating the IRS's claim that he "willfully" failed to file federal income tax returns.

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

IRS agent Sherry Jackson proves IRS Income Tax is voluntary - Braindead jury demands robbery by Gangsta Govt - According to her attorneys Larry Beecraft and Tom Cryer, the jury of govt employees was brainwashed by 3 govt employed witnesses who perjured themselves on the witness stand. Only 3 preemptions were allowed for the defense during jury voir dire, but the jury was stacked with govt employees at risk of retaliation if vote against their employer. Polling of the jury may prove interesting. Sherry Jackson's fatal mistake was not tape recording all conversations with govt employees, in order to prove perjury of witnesses. The US prosecutors failed to enter any evidence of any law that requires payment of income taxes. Uncle Scam's entire case was based on 3 govt employees who falsely testified that they never spoke to their friend and co-worker Sherry Jackson. One more reason why it's critical to learn the art of pro se legal self defense in traffic court.

IRS agent Sherry Peel Jackson testimony to the jury of America - You have heard the truth of how the Internal Revenue Service, Department of Justice, Federal Reserve and politicians have perpetuated this smoke and mirrors - dog and pony show on you the American people for over 88 years. You have heard of American families devastated by the invasion of privacy and unbridled fear placed upon them through threats of liens, levy's and even jail time. In my tenure as an IRS agent, I personally saw marriages broken, families torn apart, homes confiscated and businesses destroyed - all while my colleagues and I were out making unjust demands on the American people - without the proper authority. Now, you be the judge. You have learned that the Constitution of the United States of America has been trampled on and ignored through allowing the privately owned Federal Reserve to create paper currency and charge you 47 million dollars in interest per hour - money coming from the mouths of your children and the college education funds of your grandchildren, all the while the children and grandchildren of the owners of the Federal Reserve will never have to work a day in their lives, and that is wrong, on so many different levels. Now, let me spend just a minute to address my culture. Do you realize that the so called black leaders make millions of dollars every year playing the "us against them" role - keeping blacks focused on the race card and away from the real issue - the theft of our future through taxation.

IRS agent Sherry Peel Jackson - I am a Certified Public Accountant, a Certified Fraud Examiner and a former-IRS Agent. I became a CPA in 1987, a CFE in 2001, and I worked at the IRS in Atlanta, Georgia, as a Revenue Agent from January 1988 through May 1995. I did well as an IRS agent. As a matter of fact, it was the best job that I ever had. I received a fraud award my first year there. Later, I received numerous awards including an award from the inspection division for a bribery case, and an award from the IRS commissioner himself. I left the IRS because as a wife and mother, the IRS was getting much more of my time and energy than my family. As a Christian wife and mother, I had to choose family. I came home to be "June Cleaver". My Christian background taught me to be honest and truthful, but above all, choose GOD over man. Here before me was credible evidence that the American people are being robbed of their hard earned wages, that this fraud has been perpetuated for almost a century through fear and intimidation, and that our government is ignoring the cries of the people for answers to this crisis. I had to decide whether I was going to be an informed slave or get off of the plantation. I decided to get off of the plantation and actively educate others and myself about the misapplication and misrepresentation of the federal income tax.

IRS agent Joe Banister proves IRS Income Tax is voluntary - Deprogrammed jury spanks Gangsta Govt - As most Americans who get real news from the Internet by now know that Joseph Banister was acquitted by a jury in Federal District Court on June 23, 2005. The complete unsealed indictment can be read here. It is strongly recommended that you read this document to fully understand the seriousness of a federal indictment. Joe purchased the trial transcripts and get them posted to his web site as was done after the Vernie Kuglin case. That way all Americans will be able to read everything that transpired and see for themselves exactly what goes on in a trial of this magnitude.

Federal Workers Owe Billions in Unpaid Taxes - As the 2006 tax season approaches, the federal government is still trying to recover nearly $3 billion from its own employees who failed to file income tax returns for 2005. More than 450,000 active and retired federal employees did not voluntarily comply with federal income tax requirements for the 2005 tax year, according to documents obtained by WTOP through the Freedom of Information Act. The total balance owed is $2,799,950,165. The documents show that every federal agency has employees who failed to comply with federal tax laws. Seventy-one employees in the Executive Office of the President, which includes the White House, owe $664,527 in taxes for 2005. About 20 of those employees have entered into an IRS payment plan, bringing the EOP balance down to $455,881owed by 50 employees. The White House did not respond to repeated requests for comment.

Four-month tax trial ends with no convictions - A criminal tax case alleging income tax evasion and conspiracy dissolved in federal court this week, when a jury returned zero convictions on 161 charges faced by nine defendants. Monday's verdict "sends a strong message," said defense attorney Lisa Rasmussen, who represented Joel Axberg, a tile layer. Informally called the Kahre case -- after the primary defendant, local business owner Robert Kahre, who paid workers in gold and silver coins -- the trial lasted four months. It relied heavily on evidence gathered in a controversial armed raid in May 2003 on several of Kahre's local business places. The raid entailed keeping more than 20 workers handcuffed, at gunpoint, in 106-degree heat without shade or water while agents collected records and equipment. "Yeah, that's a pretty major victory," said defense lawyer William Cohan. "If you go 0 for 160 (in baseball), they'd send you down to the minor leagues." Cohan was upbeat although his client, Kahre, was not acquitted of any of his 109 charges. Rather, the jury hung on all of Kahre's counts. The jury also hung on all counts faced by Kahre's sister, Lori Kahre, and defendant Alex Loglia. Four defendants acquitted of all the charges against them were Axberg, Robert Furman, Ron Ruggles, and Kahre's mother, Myra Buonomo. Part of the case hinged on whether Kahre's workers were employees or independent contractors, who are responsible for paying their own taxes. Two other defendants, Dannielle Alires and Debra Rosenbaum, were partly acquitted, with the jury hung on one count each. Before trial, five additional defendants had pleaded guilty. Michael Kennedy, who defended Lori Kahre, said the case turned on the notion that taxpayers could be wrong without being criminal. He was referring to the fact that his client, Lori Kahre, and other defendants had not paid taxes according to the market value of the precious metal content of the coins in which they were paid, as opposed to their face value. J. Gregory Damm, the assistant U.S. attorney who led the prosecution, declined to say whether the government will retry any of the five defendants on the charges that resulted in a hung jury. The government "did not present one witness who agreed with the conspiracy theory," said attorney Joel Hansen, who defended Loglia. Ramirez said the prosecuting team had a clear, although silent, reaction to the verdict: "The head was hanging down, the shoulders were low." He said "shocked" was the term some prosecutors used to describe themselves when they talked to him after the trial. Once the criminal cases are over, Kahre will pursue related civil actions he has filed against several parties, including federal prosecutor Damm, Internal Revenue Service agents and North Las Vegas police officers who had roles in the raid or indictment process.

IRS defeated - 161 Federal Tax Charges, 0 Convictions - Total National Media Blackout - September 17th, a Las Vegas federal jury returned its verdict refusing to convict nine defendants of any of the 161 federal tax crimes they had been charged with. The charges included income tax evasion, willful failure to file and conspiracy to evade taxes. The four-month trial centered around the family businesses of Robert Kahre who paid numerous workers for their labor with circulating gold and silver U.S. coins, and did not report the wages. The payments took place over several years, allegedly totaling at least $114 million dollars. The Defendants also argued that regardless of the valuation of the coins for internal revenue purposes, there is no law that requires average American workers to file or pay direct, un-apportioned taxes on the fruits of their labor. If a worker is paid with such coins, his taxable "income" (if any) can only be the face value indicated upon the coin money paid -- i.e., $1.00 for a circulating silver dollar or $50 for a circulating gold U.S. coin. Not surprisingly, the IRS has never issued any public guidance regarding this significant issue. The first case, Ling Su Fan v. U.S., 218 US 302 (1910) establishes the legal distinction of a coin bearing the "impress" of the sovereign. The second case, Thompson v. Butler, 95 US 694 (1877), establishes that the law makes no legal distinction between the values of coin and paper money used as legal tender. Defense attorney Hansen confirmed that members of the jury were able to actually hold and inspect the gold and silver U.S. coins paid to the workers. In March 2007, the primary defendant, Bob Kahre, filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the prosecutor and IRS agents who had conducted what he alleges to be an unlawful search and seizure raid. In 2005, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals refused to overturn a previous District Court ruling holding that the federal prosecutor is not entitled to absolute immunity for the unlawful raid.

Wesley Snipes and IRS on Trial in Tax Case - From 1999 to 2004, the actor Wesley Snipes earned $38 million appearing in more than half a dozen movies, including two sequels to his popular vampire thriller “Blade.” The taxes he paid in the same period? Zero. But unlike other celebrities who find themselves on the wrong side of the Internal Revenue Service, Mr. Snipes has a flamboyant explanation: he argues that he is not actually required to pay taxes. Mr. Snipes, who is scheduled to go on trial Monday in Ocala, Fla., has become an unlikely public face for the antitax movement, whose members maintain that Americans are not obligated to pay income taxes and that the government extracts taxes from its citizens illegally.

Hollywood actor Wesley Snipes refuses to pay million$ in voluntary tax donations to IRS for foreign Federal Reserve Bank - Wesley Snipes, who often portrays law enforcement agents in movies, remains a federal fugitive, and no deal has been made to drop the tax fraud and conspiracy charges against him, a spokesman for Paul I. Perez, the United States attorney in central Florida, said yesterday. Mr. Snipes, 44, was charged in an indictment handed up last month. He is in Namibia filming “Gallowwalker,” a horror movie, for Hannibal Pictures and Double Edge Entertainment, two independent filmmakers in Southern California. Variety, the Hollywood trade publication, reported last Thursday that “Snipes will not be jailed and will be allowed both to continue working and to travel abroad.” Variety, whose article was cited around the world, said Mr. Snipes had agreed to an installment plan to pay about $13 million in taxes cited in the indictment. Patrick Frater, who wrote the article, said yesterday that he spoke to three associates of Mr. Snipes, but made no attempt to check with prosecutors about what they had said. Any blame for inaccuracy, he added, should rest on Variety editors “who put it through” into print. Calls to Peter Bart, the editor of Variety, and Richard Rionda Del Castro, chairman and chief executive of Hannibal Pictures, were not returned. An associate of Mr. Snipes who was also indicted, Eddie Ray Kahn, the founder of American Rights Litigators and its successor, Guiding Light of God Ministries, was scheduled to appear yesterday at a court hearing in Tampa. Mr. Kahn, who was arrested in Panama last week and extradited, promotes the argument that most Americans do not owe taxes but are tricked by the government into paying. Snipes is communicating with Aaran Russo, and is fully aware of the IRS scammers aided and abeted by Uncle Scam.

Wesley Snipes pleads not guilty in tax case - Wesley Snipes was released on $1 million bond after pleading not guilty to federal charges including falsely claiming millions of dollars in tax refunds, two months after he was indicted in central Florida. The actor, known for films such as the "Blade" trilogy, didn't speak at a court appearance in Ocala on Friday. He went there after arriving in Orlando on a private jet from the African nation of Namibia, where he was filming "Gallow Walker," his publicist said. "I look forward to clearing my name and resolving this issue posthaste," Snipes, wearing blue tinted glasses and a suit, said after the hearing. He didn't comment further. Watch Snipes and his counselors on the courthouse steps. Snipes, 44, was charged in October with fraudulently claiming refunds totaling nearly $12 million in 1996 and 1997 on income taxes already paid. He was also charged with failure to file returns from 1999 through 2004. If convicted, he faces up to 16 years in prison. He will be allowed to return to Namibia to finish the film, but must return to his home in Marina del Rey, California, by January 10, U.S. Magistrate Gary Jones ruled. After that, he will be required to surrender his U.S. passport and will be restricted to traveling in the continental United States. A February 22 status conference was scheduled, which Snipes isn't required to attend. December 8, 2006

Attorney Michale Minns beats IRS again - Two innocent and patriotic citizens’ dodge 64 IRS lethal bullets in a triumph for justice and the American way. Last Christmas, the spirit of the season bestowed upon a Montrose, CO couple the greatest gift of all, freedom! James and Pamela Moran, facing a possible 180 combined years of incarceration were found not guilty by a jury of their peers on all 64 charges of an indictment in a Federal Courtroom. This victory defied all odds because the Morans were convicted of the same charges in December of 2004. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the Moran’s 2004 convictions, granting them the new trial. This time the Assistant United States Attorneys (AUSA’s) would draw the darling of both the right wing and left wing, with G. Gordon Liddy on the right endorsing Minns as America's top criminal tax defense lawyer on his top rated national radio show. Liddy also plugged Minns’ book, "How to Survive the IRS" in 2001. On the left wing, Geraldo Rivera based two shows in 1991 and 1992 on innocent clients freed by Minns' remarkable legal skills, while endorsing Minns' best seller, "The Underground Lawyer.” Minns’ thirty year career has been noted for his envelope pushing defenses of citizens against what he calls, "The American Gestapo", and "The Tax Terrorists" - The IRS! Minns won the largest Test Case Petitioner reversal and tax refund case in United States history. This accomplishment entailed obtaining a circuit court finding that the IRS had indeed committed a fraud in court against 1300 airline pilots during a 2003 tax case. Mr. Kenneth W. McWade and his superior William A. Sims were subsequently suspended from their respective state bars and lost their privilege to practice law before the Tax Court due to Minns’ efforts. This was the first time in history that IRS lawyers were publicly and thoroughly punished for their fraud.

IRS Loses Tax Case Against FedEx Pilot - A federal jury Friday found FedEx pilot Vernice Kuglin not guilty of evading income taxes on $920,000. The question of tax payment was unresolved at the end of the five-day trial. "I think it is safe to assume the IRS will attempt civil collection, but she is not guilty of tax evasion," said defense attorney Robert Bernhoft of Milwaukee. "I feel justified," a grinning Kuglin said after the verdict was returned at mid--afternoon. She stood outside the federal building, chatting with supporters and jurors. Federal prosecutor Joe Murphy was not available for comment. Kuglin, 58, was charged with six counts of tax evasion that could have meant up to 30 years in prison and $1.5 million in fines. The government accused Kuglin of filing false W4 forms for the period from 1996 to 2001. Kuglin, a pilot for FedEx since 1985, said she had paid taxes like anyone else for most of her life. But about 10 or 11 years ago, she began to question the federal tax system. She began to read court documents, legal opinions and the federal tax code. She said she found what she felt were contradictions. She wanted to know where in the federal tax code it said she was liable for taxes. Kuglin wrote the Internal Revenue Service twice in 1995 with questions but said she didn't get a response. Murphy, in closing arguments on Thursday, said Kuglin did have an opportunity to discuss her situation with the IRS, to learn what she owed and what documents she was required to file "and she didn't." Defense attorney Larry Becraft of Huntsville, Ala., said Kuglin decided mandatory payment of income taxes "did not apply to her." After the verdict Friday, Becraft said the federal tax code is a confusing conglomeration that "at best is a walking due process violation." He said the average American simply doesn't understand the tax code. Juror Barbara Snodgras of Memphis said the jury did not convict because "we all felt that the prosecution didn't prove its case." When asked if she planned to start paying federal income taxes again, Kuglin replied: "I will pay all the taxes for which I am liable." Robert G. Bernhoft, Attorney and Counselor at Law, The Law Office of Robert G.

DOJ dismisses felony tax prosecution With Prejudice after PRA defense Raised - On May 12, 2006 in Peoria, Illinois, the attorney for the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) begged the court to dismiss all charges against IRS victim Robert Lawrence in federal District Court. On May 10, Stilley mailed a set of documents to the DOJ in response to DOJ’s discovery demands. The documents revealed to DOJ for the first time that Lawrence was basing his entire defense on an act of Congress, 44 U.S.C. 3500 – 3520, also known as the "Paperwork Reduction Act" (PRA).

Waco 2007: Ed Brown tortured and gassed by police state death squads - Listen to Ed Brown describe his assault and torture in death camp gulag. Dr Elaine Brown is still secretly held in a Top Secret death camp gulag. According to attorney Larry Becraft, who has won multi million dollar dollars income tax jury trials, the only reason the Browns lost their trial was they didn't know how to testify about the law and facts, in order to bypass the judge illegally banning evidence and illegally gagging their lawyer. The correct way is for the defendant or plaintiff to testify under oath on the witness stand, about their educated opinion about both the law and the facts of the case, without waiting for a lawyer to argue that. This is true in any type of lawsuit, with or without a lawyer. That is the only reason the Browns were wrongly convicted in absentia by default. Too bad they didn't learn how to win in court pro se by fighting traffic tickets, before taking on the IRS and US Attorney General in federal court

Waco 2007: Dr Brown attacked and raped by police state death squads while eating pizza - Affidavit of false arrest from Dr Elaine Brown MD in gulag death camp with life sentence on death row: "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, AN 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."

Waco 2007: Official Myspace page for The Browns - The "mainstream" media is suppressing the most-bizarre part of the Brown case - the "past" of the federal marshal who has quarterbacked the entire case, Stephen Monier. 15 years ago, Monier co-wrote a "true-crime" book, Crime Of The Century, alleging that Charles Lindbergh murdered his own son - and then connived with Stormin Norman Schwartzkof's father to get an innocent man charged, convicted, and executed for a sham kidnapping and the murder. At least implicit in Monier's claims in his book is that both Lindbergh and the officers involved all perjured themselves to get what he claims is the innocent man executed.

Waco 2007: Brown concert raided by helicopter gunships - 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 below treetop level screaming psyops.

Waco 2007: Tax Evaders Say They Won't Surrender - During a news conference outside the Browns' home, Ed Brown said that if officials move in, "we're dead. That's it." Since police state death squads cutoff their phone and electricity, the live worldwide radio and internet feeds had to be conducted by anonymous cellphone, complete with commercial breaks by GCN. RBN which broadcasts Ed Browns' daily radio show did not broadcast the press conference live, even though RBN manager John Stadtmiller spoke at the press conference. Local ABC News broadcast censors the fact the Elaine Brown is a doctor who paid millions of dollars in income taxes.

Waco 2007: Newspaper editor facing 125 years prison for helping innocent Browns - A federal judge yesterday rebuked a 22-year-old New York man charged with helping arm convicted tax evaders Edward and Elaine Brown with military-style and armor-piercing weapons for their planned confrontation with law enforcers. "This is a particularly heinous thing to bring a .50-caliber weapon up to the Browns' residence and leave it there. Outrageous!" U.S. District Court Judge James R. Muirhead said, noting the weapon's lethal capacity. With Gerhard's mother, a third-grade Long Island schoolteacher, seated in the spectator's benches behind him, Gerhard's attorney portrayed his client's actions as those of a young man curious about free speech issues who tended to write "philosophical discourses" sympathetic to the Browns in his college newspaper. Gerhard has no prior criminal record and has a twin brother completing his second tour of duty in Iraq where he served as a gunner on a Black Hawk helicopter, court-appointed attorney Stanley W. Norkunas said. The Union Leader has proven itself incompetent or corrupt, by failing to do its own investigation into the fraudulent income tax, and the criminal actions of this federal judge. Quoting the Browns and their associates is no substitute for investigative journalism. Union LEADER can hire lawyers to sue the fed govt to demand to see the law requiring payment of income tax, which was never entered into evidence in the Brown's case, as required for all alwsuits and prosecutions. DO YOUR JOB. Unless your job is lying the the sheeple, like the rest of the Media Mafia.

Waco 2007: Psycho treasonous US Marshals threated to homosexually rape news reporters - A pipe bomb and other weapons were confiscated from the home of an Army recruit charged in a federal indictment with helping a fugitive pair of convicted New Hampshire tax evaders, police said Thursday. Jason Gerhard, 22, who recently enlisted, was arrested Wednesday at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri, according to a statement from the U.S. Marshals Service. He was one of four men charged with helping obstruct justice in the case Ed and Elaine Brown. The Browns, who were convicted in January and have refused to turn themselves in, claim the federal income tax is not legitimate. Two of the men charged Robert Wolffe, 50, Randolph, Vt., and Daniel Riley, 40, of Cohoes, N.Y. were expected at a hearing in U.S. District Court in Concord on Thursday afternoon. The fourth man arrested was Cirino Gonzales, 30, of Alice, Texas.

Waco 2007: Freedom Concert Held at Brown's New Hampshire Home Amidst IRS Standoff - Friends and supporters of Ed and Dr Elaine Brown converged on the Brown's Plainfield, New Hampshire home on Saturday, June 23 for a concert hosted by Dave VonKleist, co-host of the increasingly popular radio talk show The Power Hour. The Brown's guests enjoyed grilled cheeseburgers and hotdogs, Italian sandwiches, water and salads. A video feed of the concert was also streamed live over the internet to a world-wide audience via VonKleist's production team. According to former Illinois Bureau of Revenue investigator Bill Benson, the Constitutional amendment that purportedly authorized an income tax wasn't even properly ratified by the requisite number of states to begin with. In his book, The Law That Never Was, Benson reveals how he traveled to the capitols of every state in the Union that was a state when the 16th amendment - the so-called "Income Tax amendment" was enacted. He combed each state's archives to investigate how or if that amendment was ratified and found that the requisite number of states did not duly ratify it; thereby rendering it null and void. Two weeks ago, the Browns' friend, Danny Riley, who had been visiting with them, was fired upon by snipers with the U.S. Marshals, tackled, tasered and arrested while simply taking the Brown's dog out for a walk in their driveway. "While I was in the S.U.V. with one of the Marshals, we started talking about the Browns and the I.R.S," Riley told the Fort Fairfield Journal." I asked the Marshal, whose first name was James, if he knew there was no law requiring a person to file a 1040 income tax form. He told me he knew that, but that wasn't why they were there.

Waco 2007: Official Ed Brown Video Vlog - National press conference with Randy Weaver on 18 June 2007

Waco 2007: Official Ed Brown Video Vlog - Includes national press conference with Randy Weaver on 18 June 2007. Ed and Dr Elaine Brown demanded that Fox News be expelled frm the press conference for the treasonous crime of being unfair and unbalanced. Note how the facts presented in the press conference were 100% censored by the national TV media mafia, and were distorted by the local newspaper media mafia. For example, no members of the media mafia dared report the fact that the Browns host their own daily radio show on international shortwave, internet, AM and FM

Waco 2007: Ruby Ridge icon at Brown home in Plainfield - CONCORD MONITOR - Yesterday, at a lengthy and sometimes contentious press conference, Weaver said he was hopeful for a peaceful resolution for the Browns but prepared for a different ending. He said he was prepared to stand by the couple's side, whatever the outcome. The Browns, who have long maintained that no law compels them to pay federal income taxes, used their soapbox yesterday to repeat their legal theories and chastise the news media for their acquiescence to government authority. "If they come in here, we're dead," Elaine Brown said. "We will not be arrested. We will not agree to go into their prison for a noncrime." Weaver, clad in tattered jeans and a T-shirt from a Waco, Texas, Harley-Davidson dealership, was the main draw for yesterday's press conference, which attracted both local and national news media. But he was not the only participant. He was introduced by the Browns and two sympathetic radio hosts from Texas, who picked Weaver up near his Arkansas home Friday to drive him the 2,000-odd miles to Plainfield. "This might as well have been 15 years ago with Randy Weaver," said John Stadtmiller, a radio host and former activist in a Michigan-based militia group. "Different issues but the same mind-set." Reporters entering the property yesterday were stopped by a bearded Brown supporter and asked to identify themselves before approaching the house. But the supporter wasn't looking for possible undercover agents. He said he was ensuring that Fox News would not be allowed to attend the conference. Concord Monitor censored the fact that Stadtmiller runs Republic Broadcasting Network, that broadcasts the Browns' daily international radio show at 2pm EST Monday through Friday. Also censored was the fact that a police state death squad composed of snipers in camoflaged gillie suits opened fire at a houseguest of the Browns, then Tasered him, falsely arrested him without charges, interrogated him and threatened him with 15 years prison if he reported to the news media that he was arrested.

Waco 2007: Brown vs IRS Press Conference with Randy Weaver - Randall Weaver, the symbol of everything the government hopes to avoid with convicted tax evaders Ed and Elaine Brown, offered advice to the fugitives and warnings to federal agents at the Browns' fortified home Monday afternoon. Weaver's wife and son and a deputy U.S. marshal were killed during the infamous Ruby Ridge shootout with federal agents in Idaho in 1992. He visited the Browns' hilltop home on Monday to raise the specter of the botched federal raid and lend his name to the tax evaders' cause. "We said, 'This is it, we're not going to take it any more' ... This is serious stuff. Bring it on," Weaver said during a news conference on the Browns' front porch. "I ain't afraid of dying no more. I'm curious about the afterlife. And I'm an atheist." During the sometimes hostile news conference that had Weaver and Ed Brown shouting insults at reporters, the speakers and their supporters repeated their claims that income taxes are voluntary, and any tax on labor amounts to slavery. "The bottom line is: Show us the law, we will pay what you ask," Ed Brown said. "They can't do it, folks." The Browns' home, which he calls a castle, has 8-inch concrete walls, a turret that offers a 360-degree view of the property and a driveway that is sometimes barricaded with SUVs. The 110-acre compound is self-sufficient and is capable of running entirely through solar, wind and geothermal energies. Weaver said he would help the Browns fight "only in self-defense." "I've been shot in the back and that's no fun," said Weaver, who brought pictures of his slain family to the podium. Weaver was paid over $3-Million settelment by the FBI and White House for murdering his family, and FBI sniper Lon Horuchi was indicted for murder. One year after the Ruby Ridge Massacre, Horuchi massacred 80 Christians in their church at Waco (Crawford) Texas, including the slaughter of dozens of little children.

Waco 2007: Ed Brown & Dr Elaine Brown sentenced to 5 years prison - Browns refuse to waiver their Constitutionally guaranteed God-given Natural right to freedom from slavery - A federal judge sentenced tax protesters Ed and Elaine Brown to more than five years in prison yesterday, giving them sentences at the top of the range recommended by probation officers but below sentencing recommendations offered by the prosecutor. The couple did not attend the hearing, and Ed Brown refused to recognize the sentence or the federal court that issued it. The couple have been holed up in their fortified Plainfield home for several months, saying that any attempts to arrest them will trigger a violent confrontation with federal officials. The Browns were convicted in January of conspiring to defraud the government, conspiring to disguise large financial transactions and disguising large financial transactions. Elaine Brown, whose West Lebanon dental practice earned the couple's income, was also convicted of multiple counts of tax evasion and failure to withhold employment taxes. The government calculated the couple's unpaid tax bill at roughly $750,000. The Browns, who maintain that federal income tax laws don't apply to them, argued during their trial that the laws were invalid. Midway through the trial, the Browns stopped attending the proceedings. Ed Brown issued internet and radio statements that the situation might turn into "another Waco" and urged armed supporter to help him resist capture. In 1993, a standoff between the Branch Davidian religious sect and federal officers near Waco, Texas, resulted in 80 deaths, including those of four law enforcement agents. "We have concerns," U.S. Marshal Stephen Monier said at a press conference after the sentences were announced. "We're genuinely concerned because of their use of the internet, the blogs and some of the statements the Browns have made." The Browns have 10 days to appeal their convictions. Shortly after the jury verdict in January, the couple attempted to file an appeal, but it was rejected as premature. In recent statements, the Browns have said that they will no longer receive mail from the court or file any documents. Joe Haas, a friend from Gilmanton Iron Works, said that Ed Brown told him yesterday that he would not file an appeal. "Ed says he doesn't care. He doesn't acknowledge them. It's all a fiction," Haas said.

Yes, volunteering for personal jurisdiction is a mistake made by 100-million US citizens every year in traffic courts.

Do you know how to file an affidavit of indigency and claim Homestead Exemption to avoid payment of all court costs and fines even when found "guilty"?

Ed Brown on Infowars Radio during Police State standoff - As broadcast in East Tennessee by WBCR 1470am

Will Plainfield be another Waco? - In defending themselves against a federal government they claim is operating outside the government's jurisdiction, Ed and Elaine Brown have filed 42 motions in Concord, New Hampshire's, US District Court and had every one denied. The couple then spent three days in court last week listening to the federal government try to build an income tax case against them. "Of course the government failed. They didn't prove a thing. There's nothing to prove. We didn't violate a statute because there is no statute, and they don't even have jurisdiction. In fact, the court is operating out of a building that New Hampshire never ceded to the federal government--as the law requires in order to have jurisdiction over anyone who has ever been tried in that court!" But it gets worse. When Judge McAuliffe gave the Browns a draft copy of the jury instructions he planned to deliver at the end of the trial, the contents convinced Ed Brown that McAuliffe would never let him present the kind of defense he planned. Ed Brown called me on Saturday evening and said that it was clearly pointless for them to go back into that courtroom, and they will not go. Consequently, he fully expects an armed assault by law enforcement at his home on Tuesday, which he and his friend Michael believe will result in a Waco-type scenario. Quipped Michael, "At least we'll be warm." Ed Brown said he had one simple message for America: "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country." The nationwide call has gone out on Rick Stanley's Standing Up For America Radio Show for Americans to peacefully assemble at Ed and Elaine Brown's property line--armed with weapons and cameras-- to protect them with a virtual "wall of Americans." Their address is 401 Center of Town Rd, Plainfield NH 03781, their phone number is 603-675-2909, and their e-mail address is Edward.L.Brown@valley.net. Some might count on the jury knowing about the principle of jury nullification, knowing that they have the right and the duty to judge not only the facts of the case but the law itself, despite what the judge may tell the jury. Federal judges know that juries may judge the law and disregard their instructions to the contrary, but they are not required to inform them of that right. Sadly, this is not something that is taught in government school either. Although history does provide some examples of justice being served in such cases, the Browns are firmly convinced that Judge McAuliffe will not allow the truth to reach this jury, nor will he allow the jury to make an unbiased, informed decision. Having watched Judge McAuliffe thoroughly corrupt the jury, Ed Brown believes there is nothing to be salvaged in Concord's (yet-to-be-ceded) US District Court. January 13, 2007

Armed Man Guilty of Tax Evasion Barricades Himself in New Hampshire Home - A man who has holed up with armed supporters in his fortress-like house for most of his tax evasion trial was found guilty Thursday, along with his wife, of engaging in an elaborate scheme to avoid paying federal income taxes for a decade. Ed Brown has said he will defend himself against capture if necessary; U.S. marshals said they have no plan of escalating the situation. A jury decided the Browns plotted to hide their income and avoid taxes on Elaine Brown's income of $1.9 million between 1996 and 2003. Over 10 years, they also used $215,890 of postal money orders broken into increments just below the reporting threshold to pay for their hilltop compound and for Elaine Brown's dental offices. A jury also found she didn't pay adequate taxes for her practice's employees, leading to a total of 17 felony convictions. Ed Brown heard of the verdict in the middle of an interview with a radio station. "The verdict is in. I can guarantee you all hell's going to break loose," he told WNTK-FM in New London. He later said, "It's all bogus charges. None of these charges are lawful." Ed Brown stayed in his wooded, 110-acre home this week. The large, cement-walled house features a watchtower that offers 360-degree views of the rural setting. He said the home is capable of generating enough electricity to operate if cut off from the main grid. "My life is destroyed, what more can I say?" Brown said when reached for a brief phone conversation. "I lost my wife and she lost her business." Brown said he expected federal agents to swarm his property soon. "Live free or die," he said, quoting Gen. John Stark and the state's motto. "What else can I say?" Brown and about 25 supporters said they will defend themselves against capture if necessary. Bernie Bastian, a supporter who said he was carrying two guns, said they would stand with their friend. "He's here at the house, and he's not leaving of his own free will," Bastian said. The frenzy came up during the question of leaving Elaine Brown out on bail pending the couple's April 24 sentencing. Judge Steven McAuliffe reminded Brown that she was, under no circumstances, to return to the home. "I don't want her to barricade herself with her husband up there," McAuliffe said. Brown said his way of handling the case is not hers. "It's not in my mind-set or my character," Elaine Brown said. "I have no intention of returning as long as he's there." Ed Brown is in contempt of court and has violated his bail conditions, Morse said. "Mr. Brown has indicated he's rather die than serve a prison sentence. ... I just hope Ed decides to end this in a way that doesn't result in harm to him or his wife or anyone else involved in bringing this matter to justice," Morse said. On Wednesday, Brown told reporters at his home: "If I should be killed or imprisoned, or my wife is killed or imprisoned, or both, those responsible will join us." U.S. Marshal Stephen Monier said Thursday that members of his staff continued talking by telephone with Brown, but had no plans to confront him. It could be months before the Browns are sentenced and marshals have to consider how to seize the Browns' assets, possibly including their home. The Browns, who were charged with conspiring to evade taxes, conspiring to disguise large financial transactions and disguising large transactions, maintained there was no law requiring them to pay federal income taxes. Ed Brown, a retired exterminator, stayed home to protest a system he said had already convicted him and a media he said was in search of soundbites over truth. "Most Americans would cower and cringe and raise their hands and surrender like a good little slave," he said this week. "I won't. Under no circumstances. I do not tolerate cowardliness, oppression, bulliness, and I certainly don't tolerate a federal agency that has absolutely zero jurisdiction in my state, never mind in my county, in my town." During the past few decades, Brown has claimed membership in several anti-government and militia groups including the Constitution Rangers of the Continental Congress of 1777, the Constitution Defense Militia and the UnAmerican Activities Investigations Commission, which he founded.

All of a sudden, Ed Brown has a lot of friends - His anti-tax stance attracts wide support - E d Brown parted ways with his wife last week when he decided not to join her for the conclusion of their federal tax evasion trial. But after barricading himself in his fortified Plainfield home and refusing to surrender to authorities, Brown has amassed a new and growing group of friends who support his decision to stand up to government authority. Since Brown and his wife were convicted last week, his case has captured the attention of a variety of fringe groups, including Gandhi-admiring protesters who have limited their involvement to building bonfires and waving signs and armed militia members anxious for confrontation. Some appreciate Brown's stand against the federal income tax, some his pointed criticism of the federal courts, and others his willingness to die for his cause. Whatever their reasons, they've all congregated at the sprawling fortress Brown calls home, turning it into a libertarian carnival with an uncertain ending. When news of Brown's decision began circulating on talk radio shows and militia-oriented blogs earlier this week, journalists at the Brown homestead outnumbered supporters. As Brown declared that Plainfield might become another Waco, three strangers huddled in his heated garage and emphasized that they had no interest in shooting anyone. But as word has spread and the weekend freed many from workday obligations, the number of those camping at the Brown home has swelled. Estimates were difficult to obtain because supporters were spread throughout the house, sleeping in shifts. And some, Brown said, were hidden outside. But several visitors estimated that the number fluctuated between 15 and 30 this weekend. "This situation is exploding so fast in this nation and internationally that the Illuminati around the world are becoming very aware," Brown said, referring to a rumored secret society that he believes has infiltrated the highest levels of the world's governments. Brown said he's prepared to wait as long as it takes. His home, with its solar panels and private well, was designed to function "off the grid." Brown said he has enough food to last several months, and those provisions are replenished daily as supporters come and go, bringing snacks and takeout dinners with them. Despite the threat of looming violence, Brown's kitchen was abuzz with activity yesterday afternoon. Young children built forts from the kindling stacked beside his woodstove. Several friends and bloggers have been calling for a bloody conclusion to the situation. William Miller, a friend and fellow Constitution Ranger, sent an e-mail last weekend demanding the hanging of the federal judge and prosecutor who worked on Brown's case - and the martyrdom of Brown himself. "Ed Brown, my friend and mentor, for patriotic reasons, is now worth more to me, and to what I stand for, dead, than alive," Miller wrote. Brown said that Miller has clarified his position with the marshals and that he does not personally endorse any violence toward court officials. But Miller is not the only Brown supporter making violent proclamations. The Liberty Guard of New America, a militia group, has also called for the murder of the judge. Supporters at Brown's home said the only violence they anticipated was defensive, but several said that they see a shootout as an inevitability. "There's been violence throughout our history, and it's sometimes what it takes to right the wrongs." said Bernie Bastian, a close friend of Brown who has been at his side since the trial ended. "It's a shame that men can't right the wrongs without resorting to it." Brown said he was ambivalent about the prospect of violence. He'd prefer a peaceful resolution, he said, but feels that there are few options available to him. "I would like to see this whole thing go away," he said. "But now's the time it's continuing to build." January 22, 2007

Tax protesters have their sham day in court - Plainfield New Hampshire couple hasn't paid since 1996 - Tax protest in litigation. The trial of a Plainfield couple who refused to pay income taxes for nearly 10 years began yesterday in federal court with Ed and Elaine Brown each arguing that they do not believe the income tax applies to them. See 1040 Checkmate. The trial of a Plainfield couple who refused to pay income taxes for nearly 10 years began yesterday in federal court with Ed and Elaine Brown each arguing that they do not believe the income tax applies to them. The couple, who are representing themselves, said they did not dispute the prosecutor's contention that they had opted out of the tax system, but they said they believe they have not broken the law by doing so. "My husband and I challenged the application of the tax law to us," Elaine Brown said in her opening statement. "We cannot find any statute that requires us to pay." But while Morse characterized the Browns' unwillingness to pay as willful tax evasion, the Browns, who each made an opening statement, called their actions a political stand. They claim that after concluding more than a decade ago that they were exempt from the federal tax system, they decided to test the government. Rather than paying federal income taxes, they began sending letters to the IRS demanding an explanation of the relevant law. They said they've received no response to their questions. "We will once and for all show beyond the shadow of a doubt - not reasonable doubt, beyond the shadow of a doubt - that the federal income tax system is a fraud," Ed Brown said in his opening statement. "For 12 years, they have avoided answering us." According to portions of the letter Crowley read aloud, the Browns' explanation of their return included contentions that the federal income tax only applied to residents of Washington, D.C., or other federal territories and that Supreme Court precedent had found that labor was not taxable. The following year, Crowley testified, the Browns sent a second letter to the IRS. "We have been requesting clarification of our status to no avail," it said. After that, Crowley testified, the Browns did not file any tax returns or pay any taxes. In interviews since their indictment, the Browns have argued that most Americans don't owe federal income taxes, but that government officials conspire to keep them from discovering the truth. In the months since their indictment in May, the Browns have filed repeated, lengthy briefs challenging the jurisdiction of the federal court, the legitimacy of the grand jury indictments and the impartiality of the judge, since he's a federal employee. With a few exceptions, all of these motions have been denied. The Browns have also demanded documents from the government, including personal information about the members of the grand jury, which Judge Steven McAuliffe declined to give them. Yesterday, shortly after jury selection, Ed Brown asked McAuliffe to promise that he would obey "the letter of the law" during the trial. McAuliffe responded by scolding Brown for challenging his authority. "This is not a bully pulpit in which you get to filibuster," McAuliffe said. "You're now in trial." Then he quickly changed his tone and tried to persuade the Browns to consider a lawyer. Ed Brown said he and his wife ultimately decided against an attorney because they were concerned that all bar members were too closely tied to the courts to represent their views impartially. "Attorneys do not understand constitutional law," he said, in an interview after testimony wrapped up. "Attorneys do not understand IRS law." The federal tax evasion trial of Ed and Elaine Brown suffered an interruption yesterday when the couple failed to appear in U.S. District Court in Concord. Ed Brown, who described the proceedings as a "kangaroo court" in a telephone interview yesterday, said that he's been disappointed with the judge's management of the case and doesn't intend to return. "What's the point?" he said. The Browns have admitted that they have not paid their income taxes since 1996. But they argue that they are under no legal obligation to pay, citing a number of legal theories, for which they say there is significant evidence. They had hoped to be able to present such documentation as part of their defense, but U.S. District Court Judge Steven McAu-liffe made clear Thursday that while he will allow the Browns to show that they honestly held unusual legal views, he will not allow them to try to persuade the jury of the accuracy of those ideas. McAuliffe also gave the Browns a draft copy of the jury instructions he planned to deliver at the end of the trial. Reading those instructions, Ed Brown said, convinced him that McAu-liffe would never let him present the kind of defense he'd hoped for. Yesterday was scheduled to be the first day for the Browns to present their defense. The government's final witness was expected to end her testimony in the morning. McAuliffe decided to postpone the remainder of the trial until Tuesday, since Monday is a federal holiday. He dismissed the jury just after noon. "Unfortunately, some difficulties prevent us from proceeding with trial today," McAuliffe wrote in a message to jurors. There may also be criminal penalties if the Browns do not return to court Tuesday. Both Browns signed contracts after their arraignment in May in which they agreed to show up for their court hearings or face further penalties. The judge could issue a bench warrant for the Browns and have them arrested. They could be detained for the duration of their trial and could receive additional charges for contempt of court.
