(America Law Education Rights & Taxation): October 16, 2002 Pitman Buck, Jr. is one of the true unsung luminaries in the tax education movement. A long time researcher and among the most incisive of writers, Pitman probably has more constitutionally trained neurons per cubic inch than all of the federal district judges in the entire country combined (Sorry, Pitman, that really wasn't much of a compliment, but everyone gets the point ;-). His book 'The Colossal Fraud Of 'Involuntary Perjury'' is on my bookshelf, and should be on yours. You can grab a copy at http://www.FreedomCenterUSA.com. Just type 'Pitman' into the 'Search Products' box on the right side of the home page. The following article is evidence of his lucid powers of reason and analysis. Enjoy. *** Confessions And The Income Tax System -- by Pitman Buck, Jr. Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black declared in United States v. Kahriger, 345 U.S. 22 (1953) that, 'The United States has a system of taxation by confession.' (Italics added.) In Flora v. United States, 362 U.S. 145 (1960), the Supreme Court stated: 'Our tax system is based upon voluntary assessment and payment, not distraint.' (Italics added) There are two kinds of confessions, voluntary and involuntary, so one may ask, to which kind of confession was Justice Black in Kahriger referring. Black's Law Dictionary, 6th ed., defines the two kinds of confessions as follows: 'Confession. A voluntary statement made by a person charged with the commission of a crime or misdemeanor, communicated to another person, wherein he acknowledges himself to be guilty of the offense charged, and discloses the circumstances of the act or the share and participation which he had in it. See also 18 U.S.C.A. section 3501.' (Italics added.) 'Involuntary confession. Confession is 'involuntary' if it is not the product of an essentially free and unrestrained choice of its maker or where maker's will is overborne at the time of the confession. [Citation omitted.] Term refers to confessions that are extracted by any threats of violence, or obtained by direct or implied promises, or by exertion of improper influence. [Citation omitted.]' Moreover, only one kind of confession is admissible in a court of law: The Supreme Court has laid down some guidelines to distinguish a voluntary confession from an involuntary confession. In Rogers v Richmond, 365 U.S. 534 (1961), the court stated, 'The motive of a person in confessing is of no importance provided the particular confession does not result from threats, fear, or promises made by persons in actual or seeming authority.' Over the years, the IRS has mailed CP-518s to hundreds of thousands of people. Among other things, a CP-518 threatens its recipient with criminal proceedings, a fine and imprisonment if s/he does not file a Form 1040 tax return. A form filed under such threats is not a valid return. In Townsend v. Sain, 372 U.S. 293 U.S. 293 (1963), at page 307, the Supreme Court stated: 'If an individual's 'will was overborne' or if his confession was not 'the product of a rational intellect and a free will, ' his confession is inadmissible because [it was] coerced.' Every year, millions of people rush to make and file Form 1040 'tax confessions' by midnight of April 15th. Everyone knows this annual ritual is not done voluntarily but out of fear, intimidation, threats and coercion; the courts know this too but accept these bogus confessions as valid, knowing that statements signed under coercion do not subject their affiants to the penalties of perjury. Confessions, admissibility of. Subsections (d) and (e) of Title 18 U.S.C.A. 3501 read: '(d) Nothing contained in this section shall bar the admission of any confession made or given voluntarily by any person to any other person without interrogation by anyone, or at any time the person who made or gave such confession was not under arrest or other detention. (e) As used in this section, 'confession' means any confession of guilt of any criminal offense or any self-incriminating statement made or given orally or in writing.' (Italics added.) I have quoted Subsections (d) and (e) of the U.S. Code to inform the reader that the legal definition of 'confession' is not restricted or applied solely to persons already 'charged with the commission of a crime or misdemeanor.' It should be obvious to all but the most obtuse or predisposed mind that a statement or completed Form 1040 whose jurat was signed under coercion but purports it was signed under (subject to) the penalties of perjury is a statement or completed Form 1040 verified by a lie! A valid Form 1040 tax return, if one actually exists, is an affidavit. By legal definition, confessions and affidavits are voluntary documents, i.e., documents that were made of one's own free will. It follows, therefore, that an individual may not be lawfully required, compelled or otherwise coerced to confess - on an IRS Form 1040 or any other document - that s/he owes taxes. ### INFORM AMERICA!
