Funny how they failed to say Ed Brown had to call the police to remove them from his land.
NOT the place to for unwanted guests!

Ed, if you see this.. I just want you to know that I live in Japan and I'm watching the development of your case through this blog. I know I can't make a difference if I'm not physically there, but know that there are concerned Americans even on the other side of the world who are watching this closely.

Not that you don't already know this, but you ARE doing the right thing since there is NO Federal income tax - and not one person that I know of, authority or otherwise, has come forth with the law stating that there is a mandatory federal income tax. If there is no law in writing, than how can they claim there is one? The burden is on them to show the law, not on the free citizens'.

That is another in an increasingly long line of interviews that make Ed Brown look like a wacko gun nut.

BTW, thanks Ed for keeping up your self-imposed home detention!

PATTERN CRIMINAL
JURY INSTRUCTIONS


_______________

Chapter 1.00

GENERAL PRINCIPLES


Committee Commentary 1.02

2005 Edition

The Committee made no change in the instruction.

A panel of the Sixth Circuit quoted paragraph (4) of this instruction and stated that it cured any confusing statements made by the district court during voir dire. United States v. Okeezie, 1993 WL 20997 at 4, 1993 U.S. App. LEXIS 1968 at 4 (6th Cir. 1993)(unpublished).


1991 Edition

The jurors have two main duties. First, they must determine from the evidence what the facts are. Second, they must take the law stated in the court's instructions, apply it to the facts and decide whether the facts prove the charge beyond a reasonable doubt. See Sparf v. United States, 156 U.S. 51, 102-107, 15 S.Ct. 273, 39 L.Ed. 343 (1895); Starr v. United States, 153 U.S. 614, 625, 14 S.Ct. 919, 923, 38 L.Ed. 841 (1894).

The jurors have the power to ignore the court's instructions and bring in a not guilty verdict contrary to the law and the facts. Horning v. District of Columbia, 254 U.S. 135, 138, 41 S.Ct. 53, 54, 65 L.Ed. 185 (1920).

But they should not be told by the court that they have this power.

United States v. Krzyske, 836 F.2d 1013, 1021 (6th Cir.), cert. denied, 488 U.S. 832, 109 S.Ct. 89, 102 L.Ed.2d 65 (1988); United States v. Avery, 717 F.2d 1020, 1027 (6th Cir.1983), cert. denied, 466 U.S. 905, 104 S.Ct. 1683, 80 L.Ed.2d 157 (1984); United States v. Burkhart, 501 F.2d 993, 996-997 (6th Cir.1974), cert. denied, 420 U.S. 946, 95 S.Ct. 1326, 43 L.Ed.2d 424 (1975).

They should instead be told that it is their duty to accept and apply the law as given to them by the court. United States v. Avery, supra at 1027.

I love how all of the sudden the news turns a man's home into a "compound" and "fortress". It is classic villification.

Ed has already been convicted; since he didn't even show up to present any case, the jury was completely justified.

Right or wrong is in the hands of the one that is better armed-

Ed is no criminal.

If you think the government WASN'T involved with 9-11, then tell us all how building number 7 collapsed when they wanted it to on 9-11 near 5 PM.

I have no degree in engineering, but getting a building to just lay down upon command doesn't just happen....it takes explosives.

Illuminati, 9-11 conspiracy theories, the Freemason, the Federal Reserve -- I love it!

It would be hard to find somebody who could portray the tax protestor and milita crowds as a bigger bunch of fruitcakes. Maybe Ed could start talking about the aliens who crashed at Roswell next, or the coming of Admiral Sananda and NESARA to release the Leo Wanta quadrillions.

P.S. -- Ed, thanks again for spending your day in self-imposed home detention.

The jury also has one more power that the court system fails to enlighten them on - they have the power to strike down law that is unconstitutional. The only question is its' application now, as our constitutional law has been replaced with administrative law.

A jury will probably NEVER find for a defendant who voluntarily chooses not to show up and defend himself. They'll just figure that they guy new he was guilty.

This is one of the reasons that the Ed Brown case is one of the worst that people will try to make a cause celebrity, and why all the mainstream news accounts have portrayed Ed Brown as a nut.

I've seen this situation before.What will happen is this:

1. Outrage and frustration will be ignored by the powers-that-be.
2. The guards of liberty will remain at the gates for several weeks, perhaps months, and nothing will happen.
3. Once the publicity has died down and the guards have to go back to work the gov't will come and take the property and people there by force.

Bottom line... the gov't is not going to give Ed Brown and friends the satisfaction. They'll just wait. How long can you wait?

A tiny part of a bigger problem is jackasses like this Quatloos person.

If the government story on 9-11 is true, then why did they destroy the evidence?
(please tell me they didn't....we can have it checked for Thermate)

How did they get building 7 to fall?

Have you seen the interview with the owner of the building saying they were going to 'pull' the building? I didn't ask a roswell spaceman about it....I saw it on the news- ALSO....how is a building 'pulled'? a small lever on the foundation that says'DO Not Pull'

How did a hijacked plane travel for two hours off course without getting shot down?

NORAD did NOT do their jobs on 9-11, and that is exactly why it happened.....because they were TOLD NOT TO DO THEIR JOBS!

See folks, all you'll get from quatloos is the same..... He'll say anything to detract the credibility of the person that he disagrees with.....because He's paid to do so.

It's all about creditibility- Facts, figures, and the truth is all by the wayside- It only has to look official, and the people will buy it- no matter what!

So, ED-
Thanks for standing up for the nation's best interests.....you are the only one willing to do it!

God Bless You Ed!

QUATLOOS,

HOW DO YOU EXPECT A MAN TO DEFEND HIMSELF IN COURT WHEN THE COURT WILL NOT ALLOW HIM TO HAVE THE LAW IN QUESTION ENTERED INTO THE RECORD? HOW CAN HE DEFEND HIMSELF WHEN THE JUDGE DENIES 42 MOTIONS AND REFUSES TO ADMIT HIS EVIDENCE INTO THE RECORD!!

I personally would feel way more comfortable in a stadium full of militia men than in an elevator with one of your type.

SHOW ME THE LAW, QUATLOOS! Not the code, that is not law. The code is how the law is supposed to function and be applied. In fact, show me how notes of debt from our governments borrowing suffices as lawful money and income.

They had a name for people like you - Tory.

There is only one way to win this, and that's if hundreds of thousands of people stand together and refuse to pay the unlawful tax at the same time. One person here or there-- be it Ed or Whitey Harrell or whomever --can be squashed like a bug.

Maybe when they impose the chip, and enough people refuse it, enough of us will have the courage to do that. I am moved by this man's courage and my prayers are with him and his family.
