What's LAW got to do with it?
Many are aware that I am in dispute with the IRS over alleged "income" tax. Over the last few years, the minions and computers at the IRS have sought to instill fear through intimidation by bombarding my wife and me with unsigned, unidentified, computer-generated form letters. Most all of them contained demands for "money" or threats of retaliation if we didn't cough up! For all of those years, we responded to every bogus letter sent to us. Our responses apparently fell on blind eyes and deaf ears (actually, computers don't have eyes or ears) because none of our questions were addressed, and each "response" from the IRS contained just another demand and/or threat.
But, we all know, it's not about the "money"; they print the "money". On the contrary, it's really about control and compliance. Moreover, it's not about the LAW either as you shall see below.
Most recently, the federal collection agency (IRS) for the central bank (FRS) has ratcheted up the debate. Since we have not agreed with the computer's determination based on our understanding of the LAW, and it has not offered to enlighten us on the LAW in spite of our many entreaties over the years, and in spite of our providing a written statement from our congressman, Henry Bonilla, that "I can find no place where it (the LAW) specifically states that one must pay income taxes", it has redirected its mischief toward Frost Bank.
The federal collection agency's computers have generated yet one more bogus form - "Form 668-A(c) - Notice of Levy". The "Notice" was a notification to us that it plans to levy (take) our funds. It (the federal collection agency) then placed that notice in an envelope and mailed it to Frost Bank. The bank, having received the bogus form, routed it to one of its minions who, after having keyed in a few entries into her computer, pressed the start button which generated a form letter to me saying: "... Frost National Bank received a "Notice of Levy" from the Internal Revenue Service instructing that all funds on deposit with Frost Bank in your name ... be remitted to them." Note the bold (my emphasis) words. I emphasized "National" because the central bank is also, and I emphasized "instructing" because that is a LIE.
First, that Form 668-A(c) "Notice of Levy" is bogus because it does not exhibit an OMB Number (44 USC 3512(b)). It can only be used within the federal government. Second, it contained typos in the form of transposed letters on its face indicating that any numbers contained on the form could also be transposed. Third, it is signed with a facsimile of a Service Representative's signature not the Secretary of the Treasury or his delegate. Fourth, the "signature" is not given under penalty of perjury. And fifth, It gives no "instructions" to anyone to do anything! It is a "Notice."
The back of the Form 668-A(c) contains "Excerpts from the Internal Revenue Code". (My bold) That, I suppose, provides cover for the federal collection agency. They never said it was the "Pertinent Excerpts"! But of course, that was exactly what they wanted the recipient to think and believe. The "Excerpts" begin with SEC. 6331(b). One might wonder what worthless information was contained in SEC. 6331(a). Here is a Pertinent Excerpt: "Levy may be made upon the accrued salary or wages of any officer, employee or elected official of the United States, the District of Columbia, or any agency or instrumentality of the United States or the District of Columbia, by serving a notice of levy on the employer (as defined in section 3401(d)) of such officer, employee or elected official." How 'bout dem apples?
Another citation from the "Excerpts" on the back of the Form 668-A(c) is SEC 6332(c) Special Rule for Banks. "Any bank (as defined in section 408(n)) shall surrender (subject to an attachment or execution under judicial process) any deposits (including interest thereon) in such bank only after 21 days after service of levy." Here the federal collection agency ADMITS in black on white that there must first be a "judicial process" resulting in an "attachment or execution" followed by a "service of levy" on the bank. My dumbed-down, public school educated, eleven year old grandchild can understand the meaning of that sentence even if not understanding the meaning of some of the words. But not an Executive of Frost Bank. One wonders where, when or even if he went to school. Our education system can't be that bad, can it?
Well, all of this was explained to the bank in fifth-grade clear type, at least three times and in my best verbal king's English at least twice. A four-way Conference Call was established among two bank executives, a federal collection agency representative and me. The collection agency representative lied through his teeth and exhibited a belligerent attitude before hanging up on the three of us. The bankers said, in effect, "we feel that we have to steal your money and give it to the devil else, the devil will come after us because our skirts aren't clean!" How does it go? - "because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand." Matthew 13:13

What Price for security; what cost to Liberty?
Today is April 30, 2004. My first and last posting to this blog was about 2-1/2 months ago. It has been an agonizing and depressing 97 days. During that short period of time two of my close friends were arrested and incarcerated. They were released on bail, but their trials and tribulations are still to come. Today, Dick Simkanin will again face his executioner - Judge John McBryde. The prognosis is not good for Dick or for freedom-loving, law-abiding Americans.
We are not enough. We need more strength. We need to Awaken more people to the tyranny that abounds. There are scores, maybe hundreds or thousands of groups, supported by millions of Americans, that know of one or more tyrannical actions of our elected and appointed leaders. Many of these people are in the government or the media, but they are silent because they are in a personal self-preservation mode. They don their blinders each morning in the hope that they will survive and prosper for one more day. But though their view be focused, it is myopic. They have eyes that WILL not see the harm that will befall their children and their children's children. Enforced national service, national ID number assignment, electronic voting, radio frequency identification, GPS tracking, camera surveillance, unsafe mandatory vaccinations, and on and on. Each time they tell us that this is for our safety.
Yet, our borders are wide open. Does that protect us? Our government launches preemptive, undeclared wars against nonbelligerent nations. Does that provide security for Americans at home and abroad? Our military incarcerates and tortures foreigners without due process. Does that enhance the stature of America abroad? Our Department of Justice launches legal wars against Americans charging violations of "laws" they will not and cannot cite. Does that enhance the stature of American justice?
Do they have a clue about what they are doing and what is happening to this beloved country to which our forefathers mutually pledged their Lives, Fortunes and sacred Honor? And worse, do they even care? Our job - ? We must get them to know and to care. We must use all of the tools at our disposal. And, we must have solidarity.
