Hi all, Newby here.
Great group glad to have you.
I was digging into status change when I ran across this..".So what was my “magic”? As I wrote above, in 1970 I was prosecuted by the IRS in Federal Court in Los Angeles for criminal failure to file or pay income tax. In the opening phase of that criminal prosecution I challenged the IRS prosecutor, during his opening statement, where he had said, “Citizens of the United States have an obligation to blah, blah, blah…”, whereupon I stood and entered my objection to his implication that I had incurred the obligations he was mentioning. INTERPRETATION/OPINION – In other words he objected to the implication that one automatically has a “statutory duty” to comply… knowing most statutes apply to corporations or person who have a contractual duty, such as those engaged in “revenue taxable activity” or government servants, or operate excise tax based/ licensed activity, with very specific limitations.
I challenged the Prosecutor to present documented proof from his existing file, that I had volunteered myself into a condition of servitude to the United States, as would be required under the Thirteenth Amendment in order for me to have incurred the obligations mentioned by that IRS prosecutor.
When the IRS prosecutor was unable to so do, the Federal Judge then stated that he was taking the matter under consideration and that I would be notified. That took less than five minutes. That was forty-four yeas ago and I am still waiting. I have never ever filed or paid income tax and I have never ever been bothered by the IRS since that one event in California in 1970.
Neither the IRS Prosecutor or the Federal Judge in that Federal IRS prosecution mentioned any points touted by “Sovereign Citizens”. There was no mention that “my name” was written in all caps in the complaint or that I had failed to file any document objecting thereto; nor did they mention the gold fringed United States flag that was on display in the courtroom. The one and only issue considered was the ability of the IRS to prove I had volunteered myself into a condition of servitude, as is required, when challenged, under the prohibition of involuntary servitude provision of the Thirteenth Amendment. Neither did the Prosecutor or Judge ask me if I had a driver license, Social Security number; if I used Federal Reserve Notes or traveled on the government owned roads; had my automobile registered, licensed and insured; or if I had a hunting license; or was a registered voter"
I would love to here you take on it.
