Subject: Wesley Snipe on Trial for 861 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear Subscriber, It's been a while since I sent anything to the 861 list, but this must be mentioned. The trial of Wesley Snipes begins today, and so of course the New York Times has their hit piece, authored by David Cay Johnston, propagandist and liar for the IRS. Here is the article: http://tinyurl.com/29xp9m Of course, it starts out with the usual envy routine: Mr. Snipes made lots of money, but how much did he pay in taxes on all that income? Zero! Oh, what horrible, nasty tax cheat he must be! Mr. Johnston then uses his own little dishonest term "tax deniers" to describe anyone who disagrees with the conventional wisdom about the income tax. And if you think I'm being too caustic by calling Mr. Johnston a liar, check out this quote from his "story": "Adherents say a regulation applying the 861 provision does not list wages as taxable, though it does say that 'compensation for services' is taxable." Mr. "Goebbels" Johnston, Minister of Propaganda for the federal extortion machine, knows full well that that is NOT at all what the 861 evidence is about--not even remotely close. So why LIE about the issue? Simple: because it's a lot easier refuting that made-up position than refuting the truth. (Some people do argue that wages aren't income, but Goebbels knows damn well that the 861 evidence is NOT about that at all; it is about whether the "source," or type of commerce, from which wages/compensation and other income derives, is shown in the law to be taxable.) The propaganda piece does mention some people who have been acquitted, and also mentions people who have been prosecuted, convicted, enjoined, and/or robbed for believing in the 861 evidence. In other words, "They're wrong, because they got hurt." Nice logic. And, to add to the demonization of the tax heretic du jour, the article states that Mr. Snipes was associated with "the Nuwaubians, a quasi-religious sect of black Americans who promote antigovernment theories and who set up a headquarters in Georgia in the early 1990s," and stated that Mr. Snipes requested (but was denied) a federal permit for a "military training compound" there. Hey, why not throw in some comments about "extremists," or even "terrorists," just to make the demonization complete? I've never talked to Mr. Snipes (as far as I know), and know very little about his case. If he wins, of course, it will be a huge victory for the truth, and a huge blow to the extortion machine. Even if he loses, however, (which I'm obviously hoping doesn't happen) it would still bring attention to the 861 evidence. The most noteworthy thing about the "story" in the New York Times is how much it talks about the consequences of not filing, or of saying unorthodox things, while saying almost NOTHING about the substance of the issue. (The one thing it did say, quoted above, was an outright lie.) And this is just what the American tyrants want: let's talk about what will happen to you if you commit tax heresy by not blindly believing them, instead of talking about what their laws actually SAY. That's what makes it a propaganda piece, rather than anything resembling actual reporting. And once again, Goebbels Johnston has continued his perfect record of NEVER giving people a web site where they can learn more about the 861 evidence-- the position he blatantly and intentionally mischaracterized in today's New York Times "story." Well, in case anyone doesn't have it already, the link below will get you a free download of the recent update of my "Taxable Income" report, which shows in detail what the LAW has to say about the issue: http://www.theft-by-deception.com/TaxableIncome2007.pdf Sincerely, Larken Rose http://www.861.info -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Note: This signature can be verified at https://www.hushtools.com/verify Charset: UTF8 Version: Hush 2.5 wpwEAQECAAYFAkeLeVgACgkQGmVFo/iGj32J+wP7B6jiRA56BZA7l8UJjR0wMU5G0TAO lTmw+NAftXGsdoTyJr6bz0f9l88pfgis8HObRJFNzGMUHVR+eBamSLWccxTZhMZTjk6y k0qUrUayuyKqttY2s0c8nRXz+NQ2U1N34VFcv77PsE3OBCi2UeigSKCIuyRvfU+U5eT+ 0Dv+55k= =Yeqe -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -------------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, send a blank message to 861-on@mail-list.com
