Quote:The entire United States Government is guilty of the tax crimes they are blaming Ed and Elaine Brown for. When I think about it, why should the Browns or anyone for that matter pay any taxes at all? After all, much of the tax money we are made to give the government winds up being wasted and/or used improperly.

Anti-tax advocates out in force

Quote:David Baker has read the entire internal revenue code. Twice. The Auburn, Mass., man, who drove to Concord several times to attend Ed and Elaine Brown's tax evasion trial, said that he's spent more than 1,000 hours poring over title 26 of the federal code, searching for the provision that requires him to pay taxes.

"You will not see a law making anyone liable for these taxes," he said last week in the federal courthouse.

Quote:A Plainfield couple facing federal tax evasion charges should be free to explain their unconventional legal views in front of the jury, the judge ruled yesterday before the second day of trial testimony began.

Assistant U.S. attorney Bill Morse had argued that Elaine and Ed Brown, who are representing themselves in the case, could confuse the jury by repeating baseless assertions about tax law, and tried to persuade the judge to instruct the couple not to mention their theories. But Judge Steven McAuliffe said that showing the jury that they truly misunderstood the law could be the Browns' best chance at an acquittal.

Yeah, lets just tape their mouth shut, then we can judge them so they can't convince anyone!
Hopefully we can get more people to pay attention to this, as this is going to be an important event to remember.

Ed is a hero and a martyr. This guy has cajones and most men have been emasculated. Go Ed!

His interview with Alex today is amazing. Sometimes Alex gets hyper and interrupts too much, but check it out.

It was a great interview and inspired me to leave the comments I wrote.

About Alex, what you said..it just irritates me, he interrupts and finishes peoples thoughts and sentences all the time. Sometimes I just want to hear them talk whether it be callers, guests. I think Alex forgets that many of his guests and callers are up to speed on events and can articulate their message just fine. Anyway...great interview indeed.

Quote:The reports of this matter in The Union Leader, other New Hampshire news media and The Boston Globe—most of which are running variations of the same Associated Press story—all are using the stark verbal imagery that resident Ed Brown is “holed up” in his rural Plainfield, N.H. home, or some say “fortress,” and that he will not leave his 110-acre, solar-powered homestead, despite his conviction for federal income tax evasion on Jan. 18 in federal court in Concord.

The Associated Press article in The Union Leader newspaper, to which a Leader staffer contributed information, couldn’t resist the highly charged word “compound,” which conceivably could create a bunker mentality in the minds of readers and may quell public outrage if federal agents ever decide to forcibly enter Brown’s home to arrest him.

Quote:As AFP’s last report noted, the judge’s decision to disallow evidence and witnesses for the defendants—along with his notes to the jury that he would not allow Mr. Brown to try and persuade the jurors on the validity of his claims that there is no law requiring payment of income tax on labor—are examples cited by those in the national movement to pass ballot initiatives to reign in judicial corruption. These advocates say it is just such an apparent violation of due process that creates the need for these initiatives.
