IRS loses challenge to prove tax liability
Lawyer is acquitted after arguing income levy lacks legal foundation

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.

HOMELAND SECURITY CRASHES Poker Faces gig while playing @ THE BROWN'S LIVE FREE OR DIE Jamboree

[b]by Jack Blood[/b]

The local newspaper headlines rang with dire warnings for all who would attend the Live Free or Die jamboree held on Ed and Elaine Brown's front yard July 14th.

"That's an illegal gathering, and it's not a safe situation for anybody to really go to, and the people who go there have to realize that. . . . We can't say it's safe for anybody to go there. We will not send emergency vehicles into this area, no matter what." said Plainfield Police Chief Gordon Gillens.

Gillens also warned people in advance that no emergency services would be provided for concert goers as it was too dangerous to send them in to the area. Attendees were also warned that many would be armed and again were on there own if anything should turn ugly.

(The so called police presence was thin with only Chief Gillens, and officer O Sullivan at the bottom of the road, though reports of Federal officers coming and going were constant. The Brown's were kind enough to send the boys some hamburgers which they appreciated and consumed.)

Ed Brown responded by assuring the police that he didn't need any assistance by the city or state, and that we were perfectly capable of handling whatever might happen.

But assistance he received as airspace was closed over Plainfield through Boston and surrounding airports while a mysterious white helicopter circled the crowd of 200 for about 6 hours, flying so low at times it appeared to be coming in for a landing. At one point, after apparently refueling… The chopper returned appearing about 100 feet out of the trees. It must have been lying low in silent mode before it jumped out and buzzed the crowd. It felt like apocalypse now, Vietnam or Iraq.

The chopper was traced by its ubiquitous ID numbers N187AE as solo artist Dave Cahill was tearing through a blistering set on stage. With the help of GCN radio host Mike Rivero of www.whatreallyhappened.com we were able to determine that the helicopter was created exclusively for the US Government, and was registered to Homeland Security, and this was announced to the live audience and live web viewers.

Ed Brown at one point called the FAA to warn them that the chopper was too low, and could be in harm's way as a commercial fireworks show was planned for later that evening. It seems to be debatable at this time whose airspace DHS was operating in, state or federal. It would seem that DHS can and will do what they want just the same.

I had the opportunity to interview Chief Gillens about this and in fact it was news to him. Ironically, he wasn't in the loop until we alerted him to the situation regarding DHS. He had been superseded by the Feds repeatedly that day, and Gillens like the rest of us was at their mercy.

Maybe this was the culmination of Michael (the Devil) Chertoff's "gut Feeling" and concert goers were all relieved that any attempt by Al Qaeda to attack the Brown home would be thwarted by the DHS Chopper.

In my opinion it was incredibly clumsy to have sent this chopper to harass the Browns, and their guests as I was grateful for the expensive show of force on peace loving constitutionalists. If I could have I would have paid them to do it… It looked great for the many cameras ..ing the event, and must have been thrilling for those watching on the myriad of live web casts. A perfect example of what we are talking about, and succinct imagery to go with the anti police state music and message echoing throughout day. You really couldn't have planned it better I thought, and DHS played right into our hands.

At one point, as darkness closed in, and after hours of constant buzzing and low level hovering (no doubt recording every move we made for future reference) the crowd became bolder. Ed had gone down into a pasture for reconnaissance which was certainly concerning as the chopper with a sniper could have easily taken him out. Flanked by videographer Terry Melton, and backed up by myself and others proudly defying the DHS Chopper while holding banners for "From Freedom to Fascism" and making "certain" hand gestures…. The laugh was on them.

A spotlight war began as one Brown supporter hit the chopper with a high powered light beam while the white helicopter answered back with a flood of light of their own.

As for the event itself? It was an overwhelming success!

The music was excellent and perfectly placed. Opening the show was a message by Ed and Elaine who seemed overjoyed by the attention, and support. Dave Von Kliest of the GCN Morning show The Power Hour did a great job opening with his original tune, "Show Me The Law"

(All gave heart felt talks for the roaring crowd) next up was the cool organ driven tunes of Paperback Radio who came in by private bus from NJ and sounded awesome under the 80 degree sun.

The headliner Pokerface blistered the stage for 90 minutes playing many of their hits including "America", "the Watchmen" and and "Prayer For America"<

They're comming to take ME away, he he ha ha ho ho...

http://www.homelandstupidity.us/2007/06/27/doj-ed-brown-supporters-will-be-rounded-up/

U.S. marshals in New Hampshire have made plans to arrest convicted tax protesters Ed and Elaine Brown of Plainfield, along with their supporters, according to an anonymous Justice Department source who also threatened this author with jail.

“Anyone who is going to carry out plans killing officers, agents, and government persons after Ed is arrested is in way over their head,” said the message, which was routed through a proxy server in a failed attempt to obscure its source. “If you continue to pursue these threats, you along with several of your fellow Ed supporters are going to jail. Ed is a convicted felon and several more are going to be rounded up in their stupity [sic].”

Ed and Elaine Brown stopped attending their tax evasion trial in January saying they could not receive a fair trial. They were convicted and sentenced in absentia to 63 months in prison each for various charges of tax evasion and money laundering. Since that time, the couple have remained in their home and vowed to resist with deadly force anyone who attempts to seize them and take them to prison.

Two weeks ago, I said here that while I don’t believe that shooting federal agents is the appropriate thing to do at this time, I support those who would challenge the income tax laws as they amount to nothing more than theft and slavery, and can never be legitimate, no matter how many judges agree.

How some desk jockey at the Department of Justice confused this with a threat of violence, I can’t tell.

Anyway, if you are an Ed Brown supporter, put your affairs in order. They’re probably going to try to take you away, too, whether you have made any threats of violence or not.

Theft By Deception




Starting Over
Roy Blunt
U.S. House of Representatives
Missouri 7th District
The most honorable way to revamp the income tax code is to sunset it out of existence and start over with a clean slate

In 1913, Congress and the States created the federal income tax to pay for America’s growing federal government and its new leadership role in the world. We started with a 30-word constitutional amendment (the Sixteenth) and a four-page form for the collection of graduated income taxes. The lawmakers who wrote the initial income tax law had little idea what it would become today.

With a $20,000 exemption, most Americans (98 percent) didn’t have to pay any income tax while the wealthiest paid from one to seven percent in taxes when the new income tax started. By the late 1970s, Americans in the top tax bracket were paying more than 80 percent of their income to Uncle Sam. Today, the highest marginal tax rate is just less than 40 percent; 54 percent of all federal income tax is paid by the top 20 percent of wage earners; the 20 percent who are the lowest wage earners pay six percent. The tax code has become a monster.

Virtually all businesses, large and small, have a tax accountant to safely maneuver around the pitfalls of the IRS code. But the code is so complicated, even the experts fall prey to its tricks and turns. We spend an estimated 5.4 billion hours a year and $200 billion trying to comply with a code that is incomprehensible. That is more than it takes to produce every car, truck and van in the United States.

The Internal Revenue Service, which was created in 1913, is now the largest single agency of the federal government with more than 135,000 employees which nearly equals the entire population of Springfield, MO, the Congressional district that I represent in Congress.

The American income tax code is perhaps the world’s most revised, lobbied and despised document_ Every year, it seems, it is rewritten. In 1997, more than 200 changes were added. Most professions, industries, income groups, crafts and special interest groups have their own tax niche in the code. It is no wonder that lobbyists watch every change in the tax code microscopically to determine its impact on their turf.

Nothing would eliminate special interest lobbying more quickly than eliminating the current tax code.

If the tax code were based on simple principles rather than intentionally complex legalese, those companies, professions and interest groups would lose their special tax treatment, and therefore, be subject to paying their fair share of the tax burden. A tax code that rewards savings, taxes everyone fairly, is simple and understandable, but does not raise more taxes than the federal government gets now – should be our goal. We can only achieve that by eliminating our current tax code.

The only way to end the IRS as we know it is to eliminate the existing tax code. The current tax code is the evolutionary work of Congress. It’s the job of Congress to fix it. The fairest, most honorable way to revamp the income tax code is to sunset it out of existence and start over with a clean slate. We can then set to work on designing a tax code based on simple principles that every American can understand.

That is impossible today. The tax code is 5.8 million words long, covering 7,000 pages of tax law and 5,000 more pages of interpretations of the first 7,000 pages. The IRS prints 480 different tax forms and more than 280 brochures on how to fill out the forms. The 1040EZ tax form, the least complicated personal income tax form, requires 33 pages of instructions. NO one understands – not even the employees at the IRS who are supposed to enforce it – all the aspects of the American income tax system. It is so cumbersome, dense and complex that it is beyond comprehension. A new $4 billion IRS computer system was declared a "failure" because it could not decipher the tax code.

The IRS has built its reputation of fear and intimidation on the ever-changing tax code. The tax code is like quicksand. You are on solid ground one day and sinking the next. Case after case has been documented to show that IRS tax interpretations are ever-changing and often inconsistent. What is legal one year may be declared illegal the next year, and made retroactive creating years of back tax liability!

Senate hearings in 1997 showed the IRS targeting those least able to defend themselves against egregious fines and improper conduct by the IRS. In fact, the IRS gave bonuses to agents who did the best job of collections, without regard of their tactics or principles.

Tax court is the only civil court where a person is guilty until he can prove he does not owe the taxes the IRS claims.

Reforming the way the IRS collects taxes is coming from both inside the IRS and the Congress. Twenty-eight new "taxpayer rights" have been approved by the House. Most notable are new safeguards that shift the burden of proof from the taxpayers to the IRS about taxes owed. Another provision allows the taxpayer to recover legal fees in fighting frivolous IRS claims. Reforming the IRS may solve some problems, but until the code is replaced with a simple, fair alternative there is little hope of getting the "little guy" out from under the IRS’s guns.

More than 40 percent of the $13 billion in proposed tax fines were dropped in 1996 when challenged as excessive. It is normally the wealthy who have the resources to challenge the taxman. So, middle Americans are being targeted to pay. Is it any wonder that most people would rather pay than fight the IRS? We can never cure these kinds of abuses as long as we have the current tax code. Despite Congressional efforts to make the IRS more professional and user-friendly, it is more likely the agency will stay entrenched and hide behind a tax code that is neither fair nor understandable.

The tax code is 5.8 million words long, covering 7,000 pages of tax law and 5,000 more pages of interpretations of the first 7,000 pages. The IRS prints 480 different tax forms and more than 280 brochures on how to fill out the forms. The 1040EZ tax form, the least complicated personal income tax form, requires 33 pages of instructions.

I’m co-sponsoring the Tax Code Termination Act (HR 3097) which sunsets the federal tax code as of Dec. 31, 2001. We need to debate real tax reform, not just patches to the existing system. The tax code is hopelessly broken and abolishing it is the necessary first step to debating, designing and adopting a simple and fair replacement tax system. Under the Tax Code Termination Act, today’s oppressive tax code would survive for only four more years, at which time it would expire and be replaced on Jan. 1, 2002, with a new tax code that will be determined by Congress, the president and the American people.

Admittedly, scrapping the existing tax code and replacing it with a better system is not a simple task. However, four years is plenty of time for the nation to collectively decide on a new tax system. Having a date certain to end the current tax code will force the issue to the top of the national agenda, where it will remain until Congress and the president finish writing the new tax law.

Between now and 2002, we need to continue eliminating unfair parts of the current tax code. The "marriage penalty," death taxes and taxes on sales of property and stocks not indexed to inflation are wrong. We should knock a few of them off while we debate the kind of fairer, simpler tax structure that we want to take into the 21st century.

If Americans truly want tax reform, it must begin with the creation of a new tax system based on principles, not the ability of lobbyists with armloads of campaign contributions to sway congressional opinion. LL

NOTICE AND DEMAND

TO CEASE AND DESIST

from whatreallyhappened.com




TO: Mr. Stephen R. Monier

c/o Office of the U.S. Marshal

Warren B. Rudman U.S. Courthouse

55 Pleasant Street, Suite 207

Concord 03301

NEW HAMPSHIRE, USA



FROM: Paul Andrew Mitchell, B.A., M.S.

Private Attorney General, 18 U.S.C. 1964(a), Rotella v. Wood



DATE: June 15, 2007 A.D.



SUBJECT: Mr. Ed and Mrs. Elaine Brown



Greetings Mr. Monier:



This is to inform you formally and officially that my office legally represents the United States ex rel. in Tenth Circuit appeal #07-2017.



In that case, extensive verified evidence has already been admitted into that Court’s record, proving conclusively that there is no Statute at Large creating a specific liability for income taxes imposed by subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”).



The alleged “liability” was fabricated by the Internal Revenue Service, but there is no corresponding Act of Congress creating that specific liability for any income taxes imposed by IRC subtitle A.



Accordingly, even if the IRS were a de jure service, bureau, office or other subdivision of the U.S. Department of the Treasury (which they are NOT), they would still not have any authority to create a tax liability by means of regulations published in the Federal Register. See 31 U.S.C. 333; Commissioner v. Acker, 361 U.S. 87 (1959).



Moreover, you are hereby served with formal NOTICE that the constitutionality of IRC subtitle A, the federal Jury Selection and Service Act and the Act of June 25, 1948, has now been properly and formally challenged in that Tenth Circuit Appeal.



In the first instance, it is now the position of the United States ex rel. that the Jury Selection and Service Act is unconstitutional because it expressly discriminates against State Citizens by requiring that all jury candidates be federal citizens. The U.S. Supreme Court has already held that such “class discrimination” in jury selection is unconstitutional. There are two (2) classes of citizens in America.



Therefore, the Browns were never “indicted” by a lawfully convened federal grand jury, and they were never “convicted” by a lawfully convened federal trail jury. Both panels of federal citizens were not lawfully convened federal juries, in the first instance.



My office has not yet had an opportunity to review any of the court pleadings filed in the Browns’ case. Nevertheless, our 17 years of experience in State and federal litigation inform us that the U.S. Department of Justice routinely institutes criminal proceedings on behalf of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. However, the latter entity incorporated twice in Delaware, and both of those foreign corporations have now been revoked by the Delaware Secretary of State.



To make matters much worse, the long-standing rule in all federal litigation is that statutes conferring original jurisdiction on Federal District Courts must be strictly construed. The Article IV United States District Court has no criminal jurisdiction whatsoever. The general grant of criminal jurisdiction at 18 U.S.C. 3231 confers original jurisdiction upon the Article III District Courts of the United States, not on the Article IV United States District Courts.



We have enclosed a few key documents to substantiate every statement above, and full details are readily available from supporting links and related resources in the Supreme Law Library on the Internet here:



http://www.supremelaw.org/cc/williamson2/appeal/





DEMAND TO CEASE AND DESIST



Accordingly, formal demand is hereby made of you and all of your associates, accomplices and accessories of whatever description, to cease and desist immediately from any further attempts to apprehend the Browns or to trespass upon their fundamental Rights or private property in any manner whatsoever.



NOTICE OF INTENT



If you willfully violate this lawful NOTICE AND DEMAND TO CEASE AND DESIST, this is our formal NOTICE to you of our intent to lodge a VERIFIED CRIMINAL COMPLAINT, ON INFORMATION specifically naming you as a principal in a conspiracy to engage in a pattern of racketeering activities in connection with the Browns and in connection with any other attempts by your office to enforce a non-existent liability for IRC subtitle A “income taxes”, in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1962.



Notice to agents is notice to principals.

Notice to principals is notice to agents.



Thank you for your immediate cooperation.





Sincerely yours,



/s/ Paul Andrew Mitchell

Ed 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.

"Everybody has their own place on that spectrum," said Dave Ridley of Keene, who has spent several days in Plainfield and positions himself on the nonviolent end. Ridley said he owns a gun but locks it up at home before going to Brown's. "Of course, any group of libertarians has a thousand different opinions."

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.

That group includes one woman who drove an hour to Plainfield and brought Brown a bottle of ginger ale, a carload of young libertarians from Keene and the New York leader of a national anti-tax organization with thousands of members.
Brown said he's been moved by the number and enthusiasm of the supporters he's met since deciding to hole up at home.

"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 and his wife, Elaine, were convicted Thursday of 20 felonies related to the couple's refusal to pay income taxes since 1996. They will be sentenced in April. Elaine Brown, who is cooperating with authorities, has been prohibited from returning to the house. On Friday, the court unsealed a bench warrant for Ed Brown's arrest.

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. Activists shared newsletters on how to avoid paying property taxes and why it's a bad idea to register to vote. Men munched on Doritos, and women poured their children glasses of orange juice. Rob Jacobs of Allenstown prepared to be sworn into the Constitution Rangers of the Continental Congress of 1777, a group charged with holding law enforcement officials accountable to the Constitution.

Over the course of the week, Brown has said repeatedly that he would rather die than submit to federal jurisdiction and that he's readying himself for an armed standoff when the marshals come to arrest him.

But U.S. Marshal Stephen Monier has said his office has no intention of beginning a violent confrontation. Monier said that his officers have been communicating regularly with Brown in hopes of reaching a peaceful resolution.

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."

Other visitors said they were visiting Brown to lend moral support but did not plan to participate in any gun battle. Tim and Marylisa Logsdon spent the weekend at the house with their three young children. Tim Logsdon said he did not feel he was putting his family in any danger.

"The building is pretty secure," he said. "And the feds have promised that they won't raid."

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."

Ed Brown lost in federal court his battle "tax evasion" case. Now, he goes for sentencing this April where they'll take him to jail.

BUT ED IS A PATRIOT!

HE KNOWS THE FEDERAL RESERVE IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL!

The Feds now are expected to go to his home and serve a warrant and attempt to take him to jail.

THATS WHAT THEY THINK!

As you see in the picture above, Ed has reinforced his home into a ginormous fortress. He has blocked incoming access on his private road to his house. We all expect this to be a standoff like Waco . . but hopefully it won't go there.

Peacefully, this cannot be resolved and Ed knows that. Ed is more than likely knowing that if he's going down, he's going down in a serious battle.

After doing research, Ed is very educated about our crooked government and has seen Alex Jones films and Aaron Russo's Freedom to Fascism. Keep in mind here that Ed has not broken any Federal laws. He is simply protecting his and OUR rights.

We have to support Ed in this battle against the tyrants!

Do what you can, Email Ed . . Call Ed . . . do whatever it takes! So far, only 10 people have came to stand with Ed . . . . We need more people out there . . . . If you can do it, than please call Ed and let him know.

America Freedom to Fascism Authorized version

Please visit http://www.freedomtofascism.com to purchase the DVD. This is the "Director's Final Cut" authorized version of Aaron Russo's documentary, America: Freedom To Fascism (AFTF). It is being uploaded to Google Video for the first time during the evening of October 19-20th, 2006. Aaron has listened to everyone's feedback - volunteers, students, lovers of freedom & liberty, young and old alike - and, true to his word, he is putting this up "for free" on Google Video knowing that the hour has come for Americans to either be awakened to restore the Republic or be swept aside by the dark global forces of fascism that seeks to enslave mankind. AFTF's main focus comes in a statement with six very simple words: SHUT DOWN THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM!! After viewing the movie, please be sure to visit http://www.freedomtofascism.com where you will soon be able to view a much higher quality "pay per view" Internet version of AFTF, buy the DVD and sign up as an affiliate to sell/distribute DVDs to others. We also urge everyone to be sure to sign up as volunteer, register for email alerts and tell your family, friends and neighbors about this groundbreaking movie.
