Marshals Arrest N.H. Tax Evaders

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) – U.S. marshals posing as supporters arrested convicted tax-evaders Ed and Elaine Brown at their rural, fortress-like home, the head marshal said Friday.

“They invited us in, and we escorted them out,” U.S. Marshal Stephen Monier said, releasing the first details of Thursday night’s arrests.

A small team of marshals pulled off the ruse, arresting the Browns without incident on the front porch of their Plainfield home in west- central New Hampshire, Monier said.

The arrests ended a months-long standoff that began in January, when Brown, 65, a retired exterminator, and his dentist wife, 67, walked out of their federal trial in Concord. She returned to the trial but soon joined her husband at home, where they vowed to resist violently if authorities tried to arrest them.

Imagine the gaul of these two people — a 67 year old dentist and a 65 year old retired exterminator — having the hubris to resist the Washington gang from stealing their earnings! Hope those “law enforcement” people are proud of themselves. Ask for hospitality and then enslave them. Nice guests! But that’s gooferment for you: force and fraud! It defines them.

Just step back for a second and ask yourself, how is it MORAL for the mob to use force on the individual. Where does that gang get the right to steal from the Browns. You could not walk into their house and take from them. I could not. SO how does it work that it is moral for the GOOFERMENT to do it in our place?

If I don’t agree to something, then you have no MORAL right to force me to obey your diktat!

How was the obligation for them to pay taxes created?

Now, I don’t think that it’s smart to go head to head with any gang. Regardless if it the Mafia, a street gang, the one in Washington, the one in Trenton, or the one down the road locally. But, that doesn’t make what they do moral. I may not be able to take them on directly but that doesn’t make me any less aware that we are their slaves. Their sheep! That they can sheer anyway the fell like. And, they can {expletive deleted; related to the reproductive act} anytime they want.

I remember the 1957 Hungry Rebellion. There will come a time when the American people will awake from their slumber and set the house back in order. I’ll be on the barricades. As the Soviet Communists realized you can only hold the people down for so long. And, just as the French Resistance went house to house executing the collaborators in certain parts of France after the Germans withdrew, so to their will come a day of retribution for the thugs, the bureaucrats, and the politicians.

A bloody day. It will be a sad day for them and a joyous day for liberty when the people rediscover their heritage.

One has to just bide one’s time.

“I know not course others will take … …”

LIBERTY: School trains children to be employees and consumers

Education: Do We Really Need Schools Or Do We Need To Better Understand What Education Should Really Be?
Robin Good
Be Smart, Be Independent, Be Good?
Edited by: Luigi Canali De Rossi

***Begin Quote***

How do we educate our children to be active, critical thinkers and not dumb passive consumers serving someone else interests? For however strange this may sound to you, it may have been “marketing” itself to bring us the terrible education system most civilized countries have adopted in the last century or so.

*** and ***

School trains children to be employees and consumers; teach your own to be leaders and adventurers. School trains children to obey reflexively; teach your own to think critically and independently.

Well-schooled kids have a low threshold for boredom; help your own to develop an inner life so that they’ll never be bored.

Urge them to take on the serious material, the grown-up material, in history, literature, philosophy, music, art, economics, theology – all the stuff schoolteachers know well enough to avoid.

Robin discovers that education makes big children. I’ve been reading Gatto for a while and that’s why I think we have to end gooferment “public” eddycation by running skoolz!

FDIC Approves the Assumption of the Insured Deposits of Miami Valley Bank, Lakeview, Ohio

***Begin Quote***

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 4, 2007
Media Contact:
David Barr (202) 898-6992
cell: (703) 622-4790
e-mail: dbarr@fdic.gov

The Board of Directors of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) today approved the assumption of the insured deposits of Miami Valley Bank, Lakeview, Ohio, by The Citizens Banking Company, Sandusky, Ohio.

Miami Valley, with $86.7 million in total assets and $76 million in total deposits as of October 1, 2007, was closed today by Ohio’s Superintendent of Financial Institutions, and the FDIC was named receiver.

The failed bank’s two offices will reopen tomorrow as branches of The Citizens Banking Company. Depositors of Miami Valley will automatically become depositors of the assuming bank.

The Citizens Banking Company has agreed to assume $62 million of the failed bank’s insured deposits for a two percent premium. At the time of closing, Miami Valley had approximately $14 million in 269 deposit accounts that exceeded the federal deposit insurance limit. While these customers will have access to their insured deposits, they will become creditors of the receivership for the amount of their uninsured funds. The FDIC will retain all of Miami Valley’s assets for later disposition.

Why would anyone EVER have a balance in excess of the 100k$ FDIC limit?

LIBERTY: gambling, self-medication and sex for hire

VIN SUPRYNOWICZ: New York Times parachutes into Vegas again to make stuff up

***Begin Quote***

… … the fruitlessness of laws that seek to ban consensual acts including gambling, self-medication and sex for hire?

***End Quote***

One really has to wonder about the people and their reps. Do they live in an alternative universe from the rest of us? In that alternative universe, maybe making gambling, drugs, and prostitution illegal stops real people from doing them, but not in the real world.

Making these illegal, ensure that the mob has a constant source of income. Make them legal, would put the mob in competition with a host of internet gambling sites, WalMart & many other “drug” stores, and bevy of “escort” services now legal.

Every time I hear of a person, usually a youngster, dying of a drug over dose or impurity in the stuff, I blame gooferment. If the stuff was legal, it would be USP certified and cheap. Then, we could focus on treatment. So, be ready, when you ask me if little kids should be able to buy “drugs”, my answer is that they do now. And, your stupid laws, that are attempting to legislate morality on other people by force of gooferment, are killing people.

Argh!

Join the real world, and let’s work on solutions that will really fix problems. If you’re going to stay in that alternative universe, then please keep your ideas from leaking in over here.

Double Argh!

*** begin quote ***

======================================================================
LIVE IN MASSACHUSETTS? YOU CAN SIGN THE PETITION RIGHT NOW TO END THE
MASSACHUSETTS INCOME TAX.
======================================================================

Have you ever signed a petition for or against something?

Most petitions simply express your opinion. And the opinions of the
other signers.

Those petitions have NO force of law. NO direct legal power to change
anything. The signers are trying to influence or lobby those in power.

This Petition is different. It has the force of law. It is legally
certified by the Attorney General’s Office and is constitutionally and
legally authorized to put the Massachusetts Income Tax up for a
legally-binding vote.

Your signature – and that of another 106,999 voters – puts our
Initiative to END the Massachusetts Income Tax on the ballot.

Your signature costs you nothing. But it saves us $1.50 in petitioning
costs. 1,000 petition signers like you saves $1,500.

Your signature matters.

Please click the link below, follow the simple directions, help us
get this Initiative on the Ballot, and help us END the Massachusetts
Income Tax:

RANT: Air travel in the US really sucks

Thursday, October 4, 2007

I bought a ticket for a plane ride at 11. Before I left the hotel this moring, everything was aok. I arrive at the airport and I have a gate delay of 2 hours. Argh!!

And, the security theater of the tsa is laughable. I watched a toddler being sheparded thru the process.  Business people, old folks, and just plain folks submitting meekly to a very unreasonable search and seizureby 8$/hour thugs. Sigh, where is american backbone. what “barbara streisand”.

Argh!

POLITICAL: Ron Paul’s Tax Free Tips Act

Statement on the Tax Free Tips Act
by Ron Paul

*** begin quote ***

Madame Speaker, I rise to help millions of working Americans by introducing the Tax Free Tips Act. As the title suggests, this legislation makes tips exempt from federal income and payroll taxes. Tips often compose a substantial portion of the earnings of waiters, waitresses, and other service-sector employees. However, unlike regular wages, a service-sector employee usually has no guarantee of, or legal right to, a tip. Instead, the amount of a tip usually depends on how well an employee satisfies a client. Since the amount of taxes one pays increases along with the size of tip, taxing tips punishes workers for doing a superior job!

*** end quote ***

End the Income Tax period! It’s theft.
