UPDATES:
- State Income Tax Revolt


Tennessee is
one of the few remaining union States that have held out from implementing an income tax for state revenue. However a bill for a state income tax [even though it could only be lawfully imposed upon foreigners/foreign corps.] finds itself reappearing against the will of the people who would rather just leave good enough alone. The incumbent representatives of Tennessee have attempted on numerous occasions to wear down the resolve of the people by continually bringing forward bills to establish a statewide income tax. Each time, the efforts by the legislature to pass this bill into law are meet with determined and forceful resistance by that of the people. The people who are fighting to remain an income tax free state have now realized that they must elect statesmen to office so they don't have to organize and expend personal resources to continually fight the reanimated income tax bill forwarded by their current governor and elected representatives. A well known tactic of corrupt politicians is to just reenter the same old tired and reviled Bills over and over again if they're defeated, or in this case with the Tennessee Income Tax Bill derailed due to protests - eventually the resolve of the people to protest will pass, as will the Bill.

This is the point at which the tax resistors of Tennessee find themselves, hopelessly unable to stop the inevitable. When the people of Tennessee protesting this tax understand that it does not actually apply to them according to the what the supreme Law of the Land says, and then begin to effectively assert their inherent political power together as citizens when the tax collectors come knocking, then perhaps their efforts to avoid the perceived owed tax shall be truly fruitful.

It's time to educate neighbors, friends and family of what the law actually says with respect to the federal and state income tax.

We agree it is important to support candidates that will vote on legislation as the will of the people who sent them to office demand, although history has shown that is a rare instance since the advent of the corrupting power of fiat money. Therefore our greatest and most powerful vote remains as educated citizens sitting as jurors to judge the facts and the law when applied to us individually.

Steeple Corporations Lobby for First Amendment Rights
- Today, representatives from the House will bring to the floor a bill prepared by Rep. Walter Jones, R-N.C., that would free harlot 'churches' from political harassment by the Internal Revenue Service.

And the Congregation all stood up and waved their hands in the air and shouted...
"Halleluiah! Pharaoh just may let our people go!"

NEWS:
- 'Tax cheaters outrunning our resources', says IRS

- This national news story put out by the Associated Press should raise the average
taxpaying citizen's blood pressure to the point of a boil - for a time. Most likely it was intended to add to the fire already under Congress' butt to allocate the resources that IRS Commissioner Charles Rossotti demands to maintain 'voluntary' compliance. Perhaps this is the true intent of the AP release and other similar news items?

The IRS Commissioner is indirectly asking Congress for more money, additional personnel, and new computer systems to track 'tax cheats' in a report to an internal oversight board within his own agency. We'll bet you dollars-to-donuts [we'll provide the donuts] that Chuck put this information out as a timely press release to all the major news reporting agencies so that the IRS' message could be picked up and peppered throughout the nation in various publications. Why would such a report to an internal oversight board within the IRS require such wide-spread press?

Here's why. Driving a
'pay-your-fair-share-else-we-die' propaganda wedge between the truth behind the income tax and that of an oblivious public is a required psychological tactic to assure confidence in fiat paper money, and maintain the collection fraud inherent in the 'system'. This standard government propaganda wedge needs to be bolstered from time-to-time with stories such as the one we are citing below to maintain the status-quo brainwashing in the minds of an ignorant public.

Are you a citizen who gets upset at your neighbor who is not complying with what you have heard in the newspapers as... 'pay-your-fair-share'? Maybe it is time you looked into the situation facing the IRS, and more importantly our nation as a whole. Then perhaps you'll look at what the IRS is calling your 'tax cheating' neighbor in a whole new light.

      "'The conflict between a declining work force and complex avoidance schemes has created "a huge gap between the number of taxpayers whom the IRS knows are not filing, not reporting or not paying what they owe, and our capacity to require them to comply,' said Charles Rossotti in a report to the IRS Oversight Board." (emphasis added)

- Rich Now to Pay the Piper
Things must be getting pretty bad at our favorite government collection agency. Following the same IRS press release venue as the above, the New York Times is reporting that the mega wealthy are no longer to be spared the 'taxes are only for the little people' option - even though we should all know better. The IRS is going to attempt to go into tax collection retro mode the same way Bill Clinton did early in his presidency. What the IRS deems inappropriate 'loopholes' for tax avoidance or evasion strategies depending on how you view the law are closing. Some loopholes are completely closed now. Tax collection retro mode is to be accomplished by simply falling upon the major accounting and financial houses and ordering them to turn over records of those clients who used such strategies [before the loopholes closed mind you] so the IRS can seek penalties, as well as back taxes and interest from those who bought the deals and penalties against those who sold them. According to the IRS, firms providing the loophole strategies are required to maintain lists of customers who bought the deals so that the I.R.S. can identify them and make the buyers pay. What a surprise.

- IRS Media Mouthpieces Unite

Quite frankly we're not that amazed of the pandering by columnists, news staff, and their editors to tow the IRS line. Actually it is very much expected when you understand who actually runs and owns the major media centers of the world. However, according to Joseph Farah one particular editor has gone further than any other IRS media mouthpiece.
      "As you know, newspaper editorials are the official opinions of the publishers. They represent what the owners of the news organizations believe – deep down in their hearts.
      So, it was with a sense of disbelief I read this short editorial over and over again – trying to figure out the motivation for this bit of puffery. It still has me stumped.
      Maybe you can help me sort this out. Here's some more from this attempt at either poorly executed parody or inexplicable whitewashing of the most feared and heavy-handed agency in the federal government....

      ...Is the IRS actually providing editorial copy for major U.S. papers now? And what does the paper get in return? A wink and a nod at tax time, perhaps?"
      - Joseph Farah, editor of WorldNetDaily

INFORMATION:
- History of the Save-A-Patriot Fellowship


History on the creation of the Save-A-Patriot Fellowship
with background on the founder and fiduciary, John B. Kotmair, Jr.


Overview of the audio interview as contained in "
The Creature From Maxwell"

In the early '60s, John Kotmair, founder and fiduciary of Save-A-Patriot Fellowship, noticed that something was terribly wrong with actions being taken by the current government headed by John F. Kennedy. A primary example he points to was the invasion of the "Bay of Pigs" in Cuba, where the Cuban freedom fighters were put ashore with ammunition that did not fit their weapons and promised air support did not come. These brave men were rounded up by Castro's forces and taken to prison camps without the need of firing a shot.

His suspicions were confirmed when he was given a tract distributed by the "John Birch Society." He was a police officer with the city of Baltimore, Maryland at the time. This little tract impressed him enough to start passing it around to anyone who would listen. He was shortly contacted and asked to attend a meeting of the "John Birch Society." As with most things John does, he got involved and quickly became a chapter leader and then a section leader.

John then ran into another organization called the "Minutemen." Because of its more radical beliefs, he was asked to resign from the "JBS," which he did. He was a victim of the joint IRS-FBI "Cointelpro" intelligence operation. The exposure of this government clandestine operation resulted in the passage by Congress of the Freedom of Information Act and later the Privacy Act. Later, during his criminal trial, in 1981, the FBI admitted their spying operation to the court, but request that the court prevent the disclosure of the file for fear that it would disclose their informants they had watching John. The court granted their request.

He became involved in the political campaigns of U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater's bid for the Presidency in 1964 as a campaign manager in Baltimore, and that of Gov. George C. Wallace in 1968 and 1972 as the campaign manager for Carroll County Maryland. Subsequently becoming the American Party Chairman for Carroll County. The American Party was started by Gov. Wallace in 1972. Soon thereafter, the American Party was infiltrated and split up like just about every other national third party effort.

Realizing, in 1973, that the only way to effectively stop this mad rush to a world socialist government was to interfere with its financial engine-the Federal Reserve Bank. John entered a movement, started by Mr. A.J. Porth, called the Tax Rebellion. At that time it was the general belief that the 16th Amendment changed the U.S. Constitution and the Internal Revenue Code imposed a tax on U.S. citizens living and working within the States of the union.

After many confrontations with the IRS and State taxing agencies, causing the need to study the relevant court cases and the law,
it was discovered that the 16th Amendment did not change the Constitution and that the income tax was actually an excise tax. From there it was gradually discovered that only nonresident aliens and foreign corporation were liable for the payment of income taxes within the States of the union.

Recognizing that in order to restore our liberties and freedoms, the general public would not only have to be educated to their Plight but would eventually have to get involved. To help accomplish this, John traveled all over the country lecturing to anyone or organization that would listen. He became the Chairmen for the Committee of Correspondence, a Director for the Patriot Network, and later the National Patriot Association.

Eventually the Justice Department got involved and John was indicted for "Willful failure to file" for the years 1975 and 1976. It became very apparent to not only John, but his attorney that the deck was stacked against them and John was convicted. He was given a two-year sentence to be served at a minimum-security prison in Maxwell Air Force Base, Montgomery, Alabama.

During his "service to his country," John continued his lectures within the prison, often times getting guest speakers to come in from the "outside." Many of these speakers were notable people from the community like Judges and Congressmen. On some occasions, John got them to admit to crimes they either knew about or helped orchestrate against the citizens of this country, yet they went home after the seminars and John was forced to stay.

History teaches that the main cause for the defections from General Washington's army, during the war of rebellion against King George, was the immediate needs of the solders families. Understanding this, and seeing this first hand in this modem day non-violent war against tyranny, John thought of ways to help deter this unwanted exit from our ranks and additionally make it easier for other Patriots to join the Cause of Liberty. John asked himself, what is the greatest fear a person can have concerning the IRS? It was obvious to him that the foremost concern of every Patriot was putting his/her family in danger because of the loss of property and incarceration.

He then knew what was needed to combat these fears. A Fellowship! Not just a group of like minded individuals but an association of Patriots willing to stand together to help defray the costs of a member fighting for the rights and freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution.

Exactly 31 days after leaving prison camp, on February 24th, 1984, the Save-A-Patriot Fellowship opened its door to an 8'x8' room. Today it has grown into a complex containing a print shop, copy room, paralegal room, casework area, advanced 30 gigabyte video production studio, book shop, 150 person meeting room with stage, sound and video cameras and a complete law library, both on disk, hard copy and computer access to West Law. The rest is history.
