Very interesting post. Thanks.
This is off topic, but with respect to “Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.”
I only want to add that I read in a local newspaper recently, that last week some hotel guests expressed some concern that the hotel water tasted funny and the water flow was not as strong as it should have been.
Anyway, the resident hotel physical plant investigated and they ended up on the hotel roof, where there were 4 water cisterns, each containing 1000 gallons of water to be used by hotel guests and staff.
Turned out that a young dead woman was found in one of the water cisterns. They are not sure how she got there

The body of a missing Canadian woman has been discovered in a cistern that was being used to provide drinking water to guests in a Los Angeles hotel.
The remains of Elisa Lam, 21, were found by a maintenance worker at the 600-room, $65-a-night Cecil Hotel after guests complained about low water pressure. Detectives were working to determine if her death was the result of foul play or an accident.
British tourist Michael Baugh, 27, and his wife, who had complained about the poor water flow after days of showering, brushing their teeth and drinking some of the tap water, were shocked at the discovery. “We feel a bit sick to the stomach, quite literally, especially having drank the water. We’re not well mentally,” he said.
Los Angeles’ county department of public health officials issued a do-not-drink order on Tuesday while its laboratory tested the water. The disclosure contradicts a previous police statement that the water had been deemed safe.
Terrance Powell, a director co-ordinating the department’s response, said the water was also used for cooking in the historical hotel near Skid Row, adding that a coffee shop in the hotel would remain closed and has been instructed to sanitise its food equipment before reopening.
“Our biggest concern is going to be faecal contamination because of the body in the water,” he said. The likelihood of contamination is “minimal” given the large amount of water the body was found in, but the
department is exercising caution.
Powell said the hotel had hired a water treatment specialist to disinfect its plumbing lines.
A Los Angeles police department sergeant, Rudy Lopez, said Lam’s death was being treated as suspicious and a coroner would be conducting a postmortem examination.
Lam, from Vancouver, British Columbia, travelled alone to Los Angeles on 26 January and was last seen five days later by workers at the hotel. Officials said she had been in touch with her family daily until her disappearance.
The hotel has four cisterns on its roof – each about 10 ft (3 metres) high and 4.5 ft wide. Each one holds at least 1,000 gallons (3,785 litres) of water pumped up from city pipes. Lam’s body was found on Tuesday at the bottom of a cistern that was about three-quarters full of water, Lopez said.
The opening at the top of the cistern was too small to accommodate firefighters and equipment, so they cut a hole in the storage tank to recover Lam’s body.
To get to the tanks, which are on a platform at least 10 ft above the roof, someone would have to go to the top floor then climb a staircase and enter a locked door and turn off an emergency alarm that prevents roof access. Another ladder would have to be taken to the platform and a person would have to climb the side of the tank. Lopez said there were no security cameras on the roof. The Cecil Hotel was built in the 1920s and refurbished several years ago.
It had once been the occasional home of serial killers such as Richard Ramirez, known as the Night Stalker, and Austrian prison author Jack Unterweger, who was convicted of murdering nine prostitutes in Europe
and the US.

Those who chose to remain were required to sign a waiver acknowledging they had been informed of the health risks and were being provided bottled water. Baugh and his wife, who were on their first trip to the US, had planned to go to SeaWorld on Wednesday. Instead, they were looking for a new hotel. They said their
tour agency had placed them in another central building with a dubious reputation. “We’re just going from one dodgy place to another,” he said. “But at least there’s water.”
I am curious to learn the outcome too.
I know at FedEx, for example, after one is hired, at every FedEx hub, there are pc terminals which permit the worker to simply log into the FedEx payroll/HR system and stop all income tax withholding s.by simply clicking on a couple of keys.
What is great about the FedEx setup is that one need not involve one’s direct supervisor or the HR Department.
I recall the Vernice Kuglin case from about 10 years ago, and a Fed Ex higher up admitted that there were many others workers who did not authorize FedEx to withhold money and remit same to the corrupted and lying IRS.
RWB demands transparency report from Microsoft regarding Skype wiretapping
Reported by Steven Hodson on Sunday, January 27 2013 7:52 amOne of the rumors that constantly beleaguered Skype has been that law enforcement has the ability to eavesdrop in on your calls. Now we have the Electronic Frontier Foundation, as well as Reporters Without Borders, asking the same thing in an open letter.
One of the most persistent rumors when it comes to Microsoft’s Skype communication program is that there are backdoors to the program that allow law enforcement agencies to be able to eavesdrop in on calls made with the software. I

Two words: “silent circle”
silent circle hopefully will not get co-opted by the corrupt and corrupting U.S. Government, as safeweb.com did about 12 years ago.
AHahahahahahahaha. 🙂
So many of these musings resonate with me. It was like traveling back in time. I can do that, by the way, because my parents taught me time travel (see # 3)
The above list is very true.
My Mom, bless her heart, told me innumerable times “to keep crying and I will give you something to cry about.” 🙁 And I always stopped crying right quick.
I recall one time, I was about 7 or 8 years old, and my Mom wanted to spank my sibling, but she could not find anything handy to spank them with, and she lamented that fact, so, ever the dutiful child, I quickly ran and got her a belt so she could administer some whoop-ass, and I hand it to her, and she spanked me instead. 😀 😀
Ahhhh, child-hood was awesome.
Thanks for rekindling those precious thoughts.
I recently had the distinct displeasure of having to deal with a female IRS agent. At the first meeting, she dressed like a slob and her hair needed a good scrubbin’.
However, at the subsequent meetings, she was, for her I guess, all dolled up and she sure did smell purty (read-pretty).
I do not think she was coming on to me, but the thought crossed my mind because there was such a major transformation between how she dressed and the scent of her perfume in mtg 2 versus mtg 1.
She was brainwashed though. Through and through. Despite powerful evidence that contradicted her position, she clung to her and the IRS’ unlawful positions.
People who are employed by the IRS should not be permitted to breed. It messes up the gene pool.
Thanks for posting the FBI file. Very interesting read. I see that the FBI agent too made the false claim that Swartz downloaded 20% of all PACER documents. When in fact, it was far, far less.
The url below contains an article that appears to suggest that making court documents public has put snitches and cooperating witnesses in danger, to teh point that said witnesses had to be relocated. This argument seems flawed because the documents were already publicly available via PACER, even before the 22 yr old cyber phenom, Swartz, started his public service by scraping the PACER system.
I also noted that the article makes the same mistake by asserting that the 20 million documents scraped by Swartz represented 20% of all documents on PACER.
I wish Swartz had kept his mouth shut and simply continued with his scraping until he snagged everythinng on PACER and then put it up on the Web. Talking to the New York Times may have been premature in that regard.
Lets face it, the NYT is in bed with the corrupted USG.
WOW!!!
Sigh. What a story. Thanks for posting this.
The fact is that the USG and especially the federal judiciary is incredibly corrupted, and corrupting, and they will do what they can to make sure the American People are kept as ignorant as possible.
PACER fees are a crock of shit. They are not necessary and I am glad that these guys scraped PACER.
Some years ago I discovered a website, I forget the URL, but it dealt with all of the UNPUBLISHED court cases. Judges who knowingly violate the law and their oaths of office, much prefer to avoid public scrutiny by issuing unpublished opinions. And then the judges rule that the unpublished case is nonprecedential, which is legalese and means that one should not cite it as precedential.
I know of a law library that threw away their hard copy US Statutes at Large volumes because they said they needed the shelf space and the statutes are available on line. Yet, they continue to use shelf space to house obscure Law Skool journals and Law reviews that rarely, if ever, get looked by researchers. Throw awy the REAL law and keep academic articles.
Go figure.
Man, I am very late to the party.
I just now read through this entire thread.
I think the sharing, analyses, and entire discussion in this thread is simply superb and is an example of why the FG and SEDM Discussion forums are nonpareil..
Thanks for sharing and teaching us.

Thank you for the heads up.
I for one, was unaware of the recent EO. In 26 USC, the term “American Employer” is a term of art, and does not mean what one may think that it means. Similarly, I am unclear as to the legal definition of the term “American financial Institution”. To the extent that a bank was incorporated within one of the 50 several states of the Union, as most here already know, said bank is a 'foreign corporation' with respect to US Government and all federal territory.
Using a USA passport and a modified W8BEN to open a bank account without using a social security number, appears from your post, to potentially create a problem that I never considered. Hmmmmmm.
Post-script::
I just quickly perused the EO in question, and it repeatedly uses the term “United States financial institution”, which to me, likely means Export Import bank and any other financial institution whose corporate charter originates with the US Government as the incorporator.

Due process is something that the IRS generaly ALWAYS violates when a nonresident alien who is a nontaxpayer, attempts to defend themselves.
Let us look to the US Supreme Court to see what “due process” consists of.
First, let us bear in mind that in Smith v. Texas, 233 U.S. 630, 641 (1914), it was held that:
“All men are entitled to the equal protection of the law in their right to work for the support of themselves and their families.”
The Smith v. Texas (supra) citation is critical when one is trying to defend oneself, because it can be linked up with and anchored to a whole host of U.S. Supreme Court cases such as Coppage v. Kansas; Truax v. Raich; Butcher's Union v. Cresecent City; in which the Supreme Court has ruled that having a job and working for a living can is both an unalienable right and a constitutional right. And that is important to know because there are numerous other Supreme Court cases in which the Court has held that the government maym not tax the exercise of a constitutional right.
In his concurring opinion in Anti-Fascist Committee v. McGrath, 341 U.S. 123, 168, Justice Franfurter opined that:
The right to be heard before being condemned to suffer grievous loss of any kind, even though it may not involve the stigma and hardships of a criminal conviction, is a principal basic to our society.”
Similarily, Justice Potter Stewart, in Armstrong v. Manzo, 380 U.S. 545, 552 (1965) ruled:
“A fundamental requirement of due process of law is the opportunity to be heard”…It is an opportunity whihc must be granted at a meaningful time and in a meaningful manner”
Way back in 1914, in Grannis v. Ordean, 234 U.S. 385, at page 394, the U.S. Surpeme Court ruled “the fundamental requisite of due process of law is the opportunity to be heard.” Grannis also cites two other important due process of law cases, Louisville & N.R. Co v. Schmidt, 177 U.S. 230, 236; and, Simon v. Craft, 182 U.S. 427, 436.
Fifty seven years later, in 1971, in Wisconsin v.Constanteau, 400 U.S. 433, 437 (1971), Justice Douglas ruled:
“Where a person's good name, reputation, honor, or integrity is at stake because of what the government is doing to him, notice and an opportunity to be heard are essential.”
The IRS is fond of calling everyone a “taxpayer”, even if said nonresident alien is a NON-TAXPAYER. They do this so as to create the rebuttable presumption that you are a taxpayer. A nonresident alien not engaged in the conduct of a trade or business within the federal United States, the District of Columbia or any agency or instrumentality of the foregoing, and who does NOT make an election under 26 USC 6013 (g) or (h), should ALWAYS protest and deny being labeled a “taxpayer” by the corrupted and lying IRS agents. I am genuinely a nontaxpayer with respect to IRC Subtitles A & C income taxes, and I am insulted when someone tries to label me a “taxpayer”.
Since I am a nontaxpayer, I view the label of “taxpayer” to be a badge of dishonor. In Wieman v. Updegraff, 344 U.S. 183, 191, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled:
“Where the State [or any government entity acting on behalf of same] attaches a badge of infamy to the citizen, due process comes into play.”
So what the Supremes are saying is that if you are genuinely a nontaxpayer, and the IRS falsely accuses you of being a “taxpayer” {which I believe is a badge of infamy} then right off the bat you are entitled to a “due process”.
The problem here, or at least one of them, is that all of the IRS CDP procedures are designed for “taxpayers”, not for nontaxpayers. So often what happens is when an nonresident alien nontaxpayer has a hearing before the IRS, it is usually a sham proceeding held merely to benefit the corrupted IRS. And it is at said hearings, whether they are held in an Article IV executive Branch territorial Court, also called federal U.S. District Courts, or held before an IRS agent, that the lying and corrupted judiciary and IRS deny Americans their due process of law rights. And this appears to be contrary to Moore v. Dempsey, 261 U.S. 86; and, Mooney v. Holohan, 294 U.S. 103, where the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that 'a hearing must be a real one, not a sham or pretense'.
When a lower court federal judge ignores of disobeys the Declaration of Independence, the U.S.A. Constitution, or a state constitution, this is a denial of due process of law.
When lower court federal judge refuses a party to be heard by the counsel of one's choice, even if said counsel is a non-bar attorney, this too is a denial of due process of law.
When a lower court federal judge refuses to take judicial notice of any positive law, or any matter published in the Code of Federal regulations or in the Federal Register, this also is a denial of due process of law.
I hope the above is helpful. I have to go now, but will write a follow-up post when I have more time.
I truly believe that the IRS' ongoing due process of law violations are an achilles heel for them and can be better exploited by us nontaxpayers.

Welcome CD.
If you have not done so already, I strongly suggest you read and study the Path to Freedom document available on the FG main web page.

Stay tuned. I have a friend who has some ideas on this. And has Supreme Court cases to back her stuff up.
I will contact her on Tuesday.
Obamacare was never genuinely about health insurance for the masses. It was another way to shore up the tax revenue stream by roping in , or trying rope in, all those uninsured who do not file IRS forms 1040.
When the USGovt publicly states their intent as to why they are doing something, you can bet that they are lying and that their real intent lies elsewhere, hidden away and known only by insider elites, who always try and trick societies into moving in one BIG direction, incrementally if necessary, or better yet, preferably all at once, so as to expand their power and wealth.
Incremental societal movement is less of a shock to the systemic balance within the system. But when the main stream media is co-opted by corrupted government interests, it becomes easier to sell the flavor of the month program.
And do not discount the digital TV revolution inside many American's homes, and the practice of the USG to use the digital airwaves to transmit subliminal signals into our homes, so as to better control and brainwash us.. And you thought the Kardashians was killing yer brain cells.
I do not have health insurance now, and I will not have health insurance in year 2015 either, unless I can afford it.
And I WILL NOT BE PAYING ANY Penalty to the corrupt and lying IRS either.
The end.

An honest, uninsured nonresident alien not engaged in the conduct of a trade or business who is domiciled in one of the 50 Union states.
Sigh. 😐
