The story of Ed and Elaine Brown

There would be no USA if it weren't for the income tax.
Not an easy thing to assert. The country did pretty well without any income tax at all until the Civil War, and only had it intermittently from then until World War 1, when it became permanent.

It's certainly possible to run a large and prosperous country without resorting to an income tax. It's been done before, and it could be done again.
 
NOTICE AND DEMAND
TO CEASE AND DESIST


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 trial 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:



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

Oh, it just gets better and better. Really, they should get over themselves and pay their taxes, like the rest of us. Funny how they had no problem with the current system while they were getting away with cheating it. Only when they happen to get caught do they wrap themselves in the mantle of being true to, and standing up for, the "real" laws of the country. Please.:rolleyes:

stop "hating"
;)
really, they are in the right.
we and the rest of the "sheeple" could learn a thing of two from there. :p
 
The other thing that struck me was the cutesy way they answered their phones that leads me to believe they consider themselves good Christians. Yet, they have lied and cheated to get into the position they are in. I don't care if they are morally opposed to taxation. They still lied and cheated which is proscribed in Christianity.


Not to mention the fact that if they were such good Christians, they'd pay attention to the words of Christ when HE was asked about taxation:

"[FONT=Arial,Helvetica][SIZE=-1]Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.[/SIZE][/FONT] "

I love the quote. Whatever 'kind' of christian they are, they're not Roman Catholics, I bet. I guess they are Protestants, therefore they protest. More people should support the PROTESTant movement. If it wasn't for them we would still be living in the dark ages.

Although it looks like feudalism is making a return.
 
<...>
The first is the most obvious. I have to pay taxes, about 1/3rd of my income or so and I'm in no way as affluent as these people and therefore can't hole up in my 110 acre compound because I don't feel like paying taxes.
First good point...
I understand wanting to punish murderers, rapists, etc. more than tax evaders. However, tax evasion is a huge problem in our country and is something people think they are entitled to do for this or that reason just as this couple did...
Second good point, and it's corollary: How do you fund enforcement against the murderers and rapists and molesters?
<...>
And not just the prisons...also the courts, and the various branches of law enforcement at all levels of government...innnumerable tax dollars and public man-hours devoted to waging this "war on drugs." To what end? Are we any better off? Has the problem been solved? Even mitigated? No. Not in the least bit. It's a complete and utter WASTE of public resources, in every aspect of its implementation.

No, in my opinion, the only real criminals that our government should put on a show of force in stopping are those who pose a real threat to the citizenry: those who steal from others by any means (this includes identity theft, credit fraud, etc), and those who do violence to others.
Agreed. Although I'm pretty much a hard-core libertarian in philosophy (not to be confused with a member of the Libertarian party, which I am not) and I agree somewhat with the Browns, I don't necessarily agree with their sentiments and tactics.

We desperately need a re-work of our legal and judicial system. Our tax burdens would not be nearly so high if our public resources were not so badly squandered. It's nobody's business, nor would it harm anybody, if I had a couple of cannabis plants growing in my own yard for my own use, or if I had a small-scale liquor still for my own consumption. Yet the feds and locals spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to prevent me from doing just that. Violent offenders are more likely to get "early release due to prison overcrowding" than the guy that's in there for having a joint in his pocket.

Taxes are necessary, but taxing middle- and low-income citizens into abject poverty is NOT really a good plan, either. Some fat needs to be cut, but it should be from the jowls of the machine, not the backs of the workers.

I hope you're not suggesting this 're-work' includes actually writing a law that stipulates that the Browns must pay tax on their labour. Why should I pay tax to work? I pay tax on eveything else, except the air that I breathe. I have never had so much money since I stopped being a wage slave and paying income tax.

Personally, more important than reform of the legal and judicial system is reform of the current corrupt global financial and banking system. These guys are the THUGS of the world. Debt is modern slavery.

You don't know me very well, do you?
