Back in 92, I worked an IRS case for a sovereign citizen. He owned five cedar mills. He battled the IRS, federal OSHA types and the state Labor and Industries types for decades. When I came on board, he was under a federal, grand jury indictment for evasion. In the end, he was able to get the jury served with documents that countered the filed indictment, resulting in the grand jury reaching the conclusion he was correct, he was not a tax payer.
The case went all to the U.S Supreme Court. It was one of 13 Writs of Certiorari (a cute name for reviewing a case) it picked up that year. It backed the grand jury determination.
A major take-away I got from working that case is, when people ask me if they should quit paying taxes, I tell them they should study law, local, state and federal agency procedures, and court rules for at least two years, including by getting with others who were deep into such things, and who had won battles, before making a decision.
Other things my experiences taught me are:
(1) Learn to write motions, discovery requests, complaints and, especially, declarations/affidavits.
(2) Learn and use the laws of those you are in battle with. Applying patriot arguments you pick up in groups or off line get a lot of people in deep trouble.
Meanwhile, it is fact few agents can follow their own agency's policies and procedures.
(3) Use the kitchen sink. That is, if you know something that could be damaging to the agency, the town / city / county / state or federal government and its agents, even if it has nothing to do with the case, consider using it.
Even if you use the information elsewhere, but it is tied to you and those you are at war with know about it, it can inspire interesting things.
As an example, I helped a fellow acquire permits for five, seven acre plots of land. The county (translation: agents) was playing major games. I used the disclosure laws to dig deep into their records and found many things that were more than a bit problematic for the county. Things like:
(a) The law requires money taken for permits or fees to go back to what t was charged for, or it becomes a tax, and an illegal use of the county's police powers.
And there is that country prosecutors, routinely, go after community (family) bank accounts based on that funds were comingled. What's good for the goose. . . .
(b) Superior Court administrators, clerks and judges allow guardians ad litem [G'sAL] to work for the court without a business licenses otherwise required by the county and state. First, the courts do not have the authority to waive law to further the business of the court. This, essentially, opens the door for treating the guardians as employees, but for whom the court's administrators failed to withhold income taxes, Labor and Industries taxes, Social Security taxes. . . .
(c) Public defenders and others have been known to use court's letterheads to conduct their business, and to withhold information required by court rule, CR11 (i.e., their names, place of business. . .).
(d) Court clerks, frequently, violate the protected right to access the courts, by refusing to release court case files unless the requester comes back on another day.
(5) I tell people to run, as fast as they can, from patriot schemes like, the Strawman argument and the Consensual Liens arguments.
I see these things resurface every few years. It's always the same, and like the socialism arguments - "[t]hey just didn't do it right."
(6) The fellow, mentioned above and who took on the IRS and others, did not take any benefits from the state or federal government. He did not use a Social Security Number. He did not use ZIP Codes (one judge overseeing an IR case, declared the man was subject just based on that, alone). He did not use business, drivers, marriage or any other licenses. He did not pay his employees in Federal Reserve Notes (limited liability discharges of the debt via the use of promissory notes). . . .
(7) Regarding the above mentioned grand jury target's battles, a majority of his life was spent fending off the agents, as they went after him and his, then, five million a year business (cedar mills).
In the end, we could write [more] books on this.
