Introduction, Overview,
and Conclusion
It was in 1999
when I first became aware of the voluntary nature of the federal income
tax. Irwin Schiff provided some clues
and I did the research to validate this new discovery. Rather than stop filing, I began to file Form
1040 tax returns and statements indicating zero income.
After six years of
receiving computer generated form letters and threats from the IRS alleging
penalties for filing “frivolous returns”, and my responding with letters that
were similarly treated or ignored by the IRS, they decided to issue the dreaded
“IRS Summons”. That is where this saga
began – June, 2005.
I answered the
Summons – I appeared (on 4 occasions as it turned out) and answered their
questions. Apparently, they didn’t like my
answers, and with the help of the DOJ, they filed a civil action “Petition to
Enforce IRS Summons” in US District Court – November, 2005.
There were four
court hearings; I attended most of them.
Their objectives, as best as I can determine them, were to obtain
information from me regarding my assets (that they could then steal for their
elite handlers), and to get my voluntary agreement that I really did owe them tax
money, by signing “amended returns”.
Well, I have few
assets, so that objective was a loser.
And, since I do not believe that I owe them tax money, I could not
voluntarily agree that I did. That would
be committing perjury! Now, there are
two principles that I believe are true, and this case seemed to verify my
belief: If there is no contract, there
is no case, and if there is no controversy, there is no case.
They wanted to
contract with me, and they were using intimidation to affect that
objective. I did not refuse (no
controversy) to contract (amended returns), Instead, I made a counter offer
(negotiation). I offered to sign their
amended returns “under duress”. Since I had previously signed Form 1040
returns under the penalty of perjury, stating I had no taxable income, I could
not now sign new returns saying I did have taxable income. By doing that, I said, I would be forced by
the government into committing perjury.
Moreover, I still believe that my original “zero returns” were
correct. New returns would be a lie.
They could not
accept that condition because a contract is an agreement, and “under duress” is
hardly agreement. And, they could not force me to contract “voluntarily” except
by putting me “under duress” (incarceration until I voluntarily complied)! Case Dismissed. Wot a Kontry.
Upon Dismissal of this suit the IRS via the DOJ brought the next suit which you can see at this link
