 Alex
Jones was joined on air yesterday ( MP3
) by Ed Brown to discuss his ongoing case to fight charges
of tax evasion. Mr Brown and his wife have not filed or paid
federal income taxes since 1997, citing the fact that there is
no law that stipulates American citizens have to pay income
taxes. Prosecutors claim (based upon arbitrary figures
provided by the IRS) that the couple "owes" $625,000
in taxes. A jury agreed in court on Thursday the 18th of
January.
Mr Brown described the actions of the
authorities against him over the past two years:
"We thought they'd be here ten years ago,
they came in ten years later in November of 2004. They arrived
with twenty-eight approximate personel. Twenty of them were
CID, IRS, two US Marshals and one postal officer. They had up
on the hill a sniper with three observers, two state troopers
backing them up behind them and one state trooper across the
street. Everybody was armed and everybody had body armour.
We were waiting for them to do this because we
already knew there was no law for the tax, but we couldn't
just go in there and sue them, it wouldn't work, the courts
would just dismiss it."
The authorities entered his property,
questioned Brown and downloaded information from his computer.
Following these actions, Brown filed a tort
against four officials that were in charge of the operation he
described. It was turned over to the United States district
court who in turn transferred the case to the federal court.
Mr Brown notified them that there was no federal jurisdiction
involved in the case. Eventually the case was dismissed and
six months later Brown says he was arrested and physically
assaulted by police officers.
Brown was not served with an arrest warrant,
was not given any counsel and was unlawfully dragged away and
thrown into a holding cell. Brown was then hauled before a
United States district Judge who proceeded to serve him with
papers. The judge asked Brown how he pleaded, whilst Brown was
still unaware of what it was he was being charged with.
After a court appointed attorney pleaded not
guilty without any consultation with Mr Brown, he was then
told that he could not be released unless he turned over the
firearms he keeps at home. Brown relented and allowed the
authorities to take the guns from his house, an opportunity
they seized upon as an excuse to raid Brown's house and take
anything they could find.
Mr. Brown's wife, Elaine, was convicted Jan.
18 as well. Both are due to be sentenced April 24.
Mr. Brown had been in court with Mrs. Brown
Jan. 9-11 but stopped attending on the grounds that the
process seemed like a �kangaroo court� in which Judge
McAuliffe obstructed him from bringing in the evidence and/or
witnesses to argue his point that there is no law requiring
payment of an unapportioned direct tax, such as the federal
income tax, on the labor of American workers, including he and
his wife.
 As
American
Free Press has reported:
The judge's decision to disallow evidence and
witnesses for the defendants�along with his notes to the
jury that he would not allow Mr. Brown to try and persuade the
jurors on the validity of his claims that there is no law
requiring payment of income tax on labor�are examples cited
by those in the national movement to pass ballot initiatives
to reign in judicial corruption. These advocates say it is
just such an apparent violation of due process that creates
the need for these initiatives.
Mr Brown cited Aaron Russo's recent massive
hit film, America:
Freedom to Fascism , as an important expose that has
focused a great deal more attention on his own case and the
unlawful income tax system. The film has exploded back into
the google video top 20 as a result of the media coverage of
Brown's case. In recent developments Mr Brown agreed to let
Fox news conduct an interview in his home on the proviso that
the reporters sit down with him and watch the entirety of
Russo's film.
Russo expertly exposes the traitorous Federal
Reserve Act and the fact that there is no law that stipulates
American citizens have to pay income taxes. The ratification
of the 16th amendment, also known as the "Tax
amendment", represents a fundamental undermining of
Constitutional law in America. It is the greatest hoax ever
perpetrated against the American people by the elite private
banking institutions that have usurped government as an arm of
their overall control mechanism.
Russo presents interviews with an impressive
range of government officials, IRS special agents , FBI
officers, Politicians and tax attorneys who have researched
and subsequently campaigned against the Federal Reserve Act
and thus reveals why the IRS is an illegal foundation.
The income tax does not meet either criteria
of Constitutionally legal taxation in America, that is direct
apportioned tax or indirect uniform tax. The IRS claims that
the 16th Amendment allowed for a third form of taxation,
however, the supreme court ruling on the amendment states that
it allows for no new forms of taxation. More supreme court
cases in the same period confirm the same conclusion. The 16th
Amendment did not allow the Federal Government to levy a new
tax, thus there is no Constitutional basis for the income tax.
While the AP have described Ed Brown as being
" holed
up " and "barricaded" in his
"compound" like some kind of dangerous extremist, he
is in fact simply refusing to leave his house. Friends and
well wishers have been
gathering to support Mr Brown at his home in New
Hampshire. He expects that federal agents will wait until the
media coverage of his case has died down before attempting to
forcibly enter his home to arrest him.
�Live free or die.� Brown told listeners
as he declared he was a man of the creator and the slave of no
man.
