Thanks for the heads up on this.

It seems they're saying in some foreign language with no grammatical rules that there is no penalty.

If I “understand” the penalty clause correctly…the penalty is that the “person” required to make these returns will become a babbling idiot whose cerebral neurons simply fire at random mixing alpha numeric characters in incomprehensible ways.

If I've got a grab on this…then it seems just supplying this penalty clause to the “person” required to make a return would be enough to derail this whole scheme. Especially if they write their “returns” in the same lingo as the penalty clause. 😆

This is going to really simplify things when communicating with Revenue Agents from Department of Treasury of Puerto Rico. Thanks

Good idea. However, there is no information on the management. I did read about a year ago that the Lakota nation was divorcing itself from the US federal government by bowing out of all treaties it had made in the past…because the gov. had violated each of them.

They were inviting people who lived in states contiguous to the reservation to join them. They planned to issue passports and inform the world's nations that they were independent of the United States. I haven't followed up on any of this but it might be an interesting Google to see how it's going…or if it's going.

Lakota Indians Declare Independence

21.12.2007

The Lakota Indians, who gave the world legendary warriors Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse, have withdrawn from treaties with the United States, leaders said Wednesday.

“We are no longer citizens of the United States of America and all those who live in the five-state area that encompasses our country are free to join us,” long-time Indian rights activist Russell Means told a handful of reporters and a delegation from the Bolivian embassy, gathered in a church in a run-down neighborhood of Washington for a news conference.

A delegation of Lakota leaders delivered a message to the State Department on Monday, announcing they were unilaterally withdrawing from treaties they signed with the federal government of the United States, some of them more than 150 years old.

They also visited the Bolivian, Chilean, South African and Venezuelan embassies, and will continue on their diplomatic mission and take it overseas in the coming weeks and months, they told the news conference.

Lakota country includes parts of the states of Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana and Wyoming.

The new country would issue its own passports and driving licences, and living there would be tax-free — provided residents renounce their US citizenship, Means said.

The treaties signed with the United States are merely “worthless words on worthless paper,” the Lakota freedom activists say on their website.

The treaties have been “repeatedly violated in order to steal our culture, our land and our ability to maintain our way of life,” the reborn freedom movement says.

Withdrawing from the treaties was entirely legal, Means said.

“This is according to the laws of the United States, specifically article six of the constitution,” which states that treaties are the supreme law of the land, he said.

“It is also within the laws on treaties passed at the Vienna Convention and put into effect by the US and the rest of the international community in 1980. We are legally within our rights to be free and independent,” said Means.

The Lakota relaunched their journey to freedom in 1974, when they drafted a declaration of continuing independence — an overt play on the title of the United States' Declaration of Independence from England.

Thirty-three years have elapsed since then because “it takes critical mass to combat colonialism and we wanted to make sure that all our ducks were in a row,” Means said.

One duck moved into place in September, when the United Nations adopted a non-binding declaration on the rights of indigenous peoples — despite opposition from the United States, which said it clashed with its own laws.

“We have 33 treaties with the United States that they have not lived by. They continue to take our land, our water, our children,” Phyllis Young, who helped organize the first international conference on indigenous rights in Geneva in 1977, told the news conference.

The US “annexation” of native American land has resulted in once proud tribes such as the Lakota becoming mere “facsimiles of white people,” said Means.

Oppression at the hands of the US government has taken its toll on the Lakota, whose men have one of the shortest life expectancies — less than 44 years — in the world.

Lakota teen suicides are 150 percent above the norm for the United States; infant mortality is five times higher than the US average; and unemployment is rife, according to the Lakota freedom movement's website.

“Our people want to live, not just survive or crawl and be mascots,” said Young.

“We are not trying to embarrass the United States. We are here to continue the struggle for our children and grandchildren,” she said, predicting that the battle would not be won in her lifetime.

Prosecutor yells at judge for trying to quash indictments before arraignment 🙂 .

Judge runs to superior court for instructions about what he should do. <_<

Maybe he should try following the law. Maybe he can't find any precedents.

Fear without knowledge is paralyzing.

Fear when dealing with outlaws is appropriate.

Hosea said “My people perish for want of knowledge.”

You and your wife both need knowledge.

This knowledge will not take away your justified fear of outlaws…but what it will do is give you resources from which you can act and react effectively. You will not be held hostage to your fear… which is not unwarranted when dealing with outlaws.

People who go to jail usually have not prepared themselves with knowledge and in their fear grasp at the many straws…erroneous arguments… paying officers of the court that wants to convict them to defend them. Those things often result in jail time.

You need to start reading…you and your wife together…the FREE Great IRS Hoax book. Stay up late if you have to. And get up early so you can get it integrated and organized into useful knowledge that leads to useful and effective action.

None of us would be here if those who fought the revolution gave in to their fear…would we? Bravery means acting rightly when you are afraid. People who take on danger when they are not afraid are simply acting recklessly.

Bravery…knowledge…fear are team mates. Fear gives the brave and knowlegeable person prudence.

Knowledge and knowing what to do and say in order to use that knowledge…vastly increases the probability that you won't perish. This…of course…is not a guarantee…you could get taken out in a car accident…couldn't you?

Start studying… you will find your fear and wonderment turning to excitement and hope as your knowledge increases…do it NOW.

And be prudently afraid of those semi-trucks…look both ways before you cross.

And even women's prisons are called penal institutions! 😆
