interesting news about Tax case in IL, govt withdraws after evidence

1040 Checkmate?

DOJ Dismisses Felony Tax Prosecution
-- With Prejudice --
After PRA Defense Raised

Evidence OMB Complicit In Income Tax Fraud

DOJ & IRS Petitioned To Explain

On May 12, 2006 in Peoria, Illinois, the attorney for the U.S. Department
of Justice (DOJ) begged the court to dismiss all charges against IRS victim
Robert Lawrence in federal District Court.

The motion for dismissal came on the heels of a surprise tactic by
Lawrence´s defense attorney Oscar Stilley.

The tactic threatened exposure of IRS´s on-going efforts to defraud the
public. The move put DOJ attorneys in a state of panic that left them with
only one alternative: beg for dismissal, with prejudice.

Stilley´s tactic paid off. Sixty days earlier, the DOJ had indicted
Lawrence on three counts of willful failure to file a 1040 form, and three
felony counts of income tax evasion. The federal Judge dismissed all
charges with prejudice, meaning the DOJ cannot charge Lawrence with those
crimes again.

The trial was to have started on Monday morning, May 15th.

On Wednesday, May 10, Stilley mailed a set of documents to the DOJ in
response to DOJ´s discovery demands. The documents revealed to DOJ for the
first time that Lawrence was basing his entire defense on an act of
Congress, 44 U.S.C. 3500 - 3520, also known as the "Paperwork Reduction
Act" (PRA).

In Section 3512 of the Act, titled "Public Protection," it says that no
person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with an
agency´s collection of information request (such as a 1040 form), if the
request does not display a valid control number assigned by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) in accordance with the requirements of the Act,
or if the agency fails to inform the person who is to respond to the
collection of information that he is not required to respond to the
collection of information request unless it displays a valid control
number.

In Section 3512 Congress went on to authorize that the protection provided
by Section 3512 may be raised in the form of a complete defense at any time
during an agency´s administrative process (such as an IRS Tax Court or
Collection and Due Process Hearing) or during a judicial proceeding (such
as Lawrence´s criminal trial).

In sum, the PRA requires that all government agencies display valid OMB
control numbers and certain disclosures directly on all information
collection forms that the public is requested to file. Lawrence's sole
defense was he was not required to file an IRS Form 1040 because it
displays an invalid OMB control number.

Government officials knew that if the case went to trial, it would expose
the fraudulent, counterfeit 1040. They also must have known that a trial
would expose the ongoing conspiracy between OMB and IRS to publish 1040
forms each year that those agencies knew were in violation of the PRA.
That would raise the issue that the Form 1040, with its invalid control
number, is being used by the Government to cover up the underlying
constitutional tort -- that is, the enforcement of a direct, unapportioned
tax on the labor of every working man, women and child in America.

Any information collection form, such as IRS Form 1040, which lacks bona
fide statutory authority or which conflicts with the Constitution, cannot
be issued an OMB control number. If a control number were issued for such
a form, the form would be invalid and of no force and effect.

Under the facts and circumstances of the last 24 years, it is safe to say
that IRS Form 1040 is a fraudulent, counterfeit, bootleg form. Government
officials responsible for this fraud should be investigated and face
indictment for willfully making and sponsoring false instruments.

Caught between a rock and a hard place, the DOJ and IRS decided not to let
the Lawrence case proceed because it would reveal one critical and damning
fact:

The PRA law protects those that
fail to file IRS bootleg Form 1040

If you want to know when and where the next terrorist attack is
going to happen, just follow the drills. State sponsored terrorism,
research for yourself. All horrible governments have done it to fool
the stupid.

Wev'e lost the Libertarians too. Just check out the neocons posing
as libertarians at individual soveriegnty-friends of bob hunt group.
goddamn PNAC neocon fascist snakes. Give em a piece of your mind.

I started a group, id love any and all to speak whats on their mind @

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LibertariansDemandingReform/

Thanks guys, they've slipped up on this 9/11 BS,but they are
counting on our stupidness.
----------------------------------------------------------

Rumsfeld predicts terrorist attack in US 2 minutes before 1st WTC
plane crash (Fayetteville Observer) and later predicts Pentagon
crash minutes prior. (Telegraph)

CIA says 1st WTC plane crash was an attack and Dir. Tenet blames OBL
for attacks even before 2nd plane crashes (ABC) and the US is
claiming Osama bin Laden is behind the attacks before the day is
over. (ABC, The Post)

White House, CIA kept key portions of 9/11 report classified dealing
with Saudi Arabia and reject Saudi requests to declassify.
(Washington Post, Reuters)

Sept. 10, group of top Pentagon officials canceled travel plans for
next morning because of security concerns. (Newsweek)

FAA manager mangled, cut, and destroyed 9/11 tapes. (Washington
Post)

Dec 2001, Pentagon releases poor quality video showing 'OBL'
bragging about attacks, but is seen writing with right hand which
FBI says he's left-handed, wearing a gold ring and watch which are
forbidden in Islam, and Bush Admin uses this video to vindicate US
invading Afghan. (USA Today, FBI)

U.S. OK'd a plan the day before 9/11 to topple the Taliban and expel
OBL. (MSNBC)

1999, US paid entire annual salary of Taliban gov'tl in hopes to
secure a stable Afghan gov't to allow US companies to build a
pipeline there to connect to the Caspian Sea. (SF Chronicle)

7 of alleged 19 hijackers are reported alive, FBI Director admits
some identities are in doubt. (BBC, LA Times) Five of the alleged
9/11 hijackers receive training at secure US military bases. (MSNBC)

Sept. 10, OBL undergoes kidney dialysis at Pakistani military
hospital in which a "secret team" replaces regular urology staff.
(CBS) July '01, OBL wanted by US since '98, undergoes medical
treatment at the American Hospital in Dubai and is met by the local
CIA chief. (Guradian)

8:30 in the morning September 11, 2001. CIA was running a drill 15
miles from the World Trade Center that day flying jets into
buildings in New York and DC. Targets- world trade center and
pentagon.

OPERATION VIGILANT GUARDIAN: This exercise simulated hijacked planes
in the North Eastern sector and started delibrately to coincide with
9/11. Lt. Col. Dawne Deskins, NORAD unit's airborne control and
warning officer, was overseeing the exercise. At 8:40am she took a
call from Boston Center which said it had a hijacked airliner. Her
first words, as quoted by Newhouse News Service were, "It must be
part of the exercise." This is another example of how the numerous
drills on the morning of 9/11 deliberately distracted NORAD so that
the real hijacked planes couldn't be intercepted in time.

At least five if not six training exercises were in operation in the
days leading up to and on the morning of 9/11. This meant that NORAD
radar screens showed as many as 22 hijacked airliners at the same
time. NORAD had been briefed that this was part of the exercise
drill and therefore normal reactive procedure was forestalled and
delayed.
"is this real world or an exercise?"

Under NORAD procedures that date to the Cold War, two F-16 fighters
from the 177th were parked around the clock on the Atlantic City
runway. Pilots waited in a nearby building, ready to scramble.

But on the morning of 9/11, the F-16's were performing bombing runs
over an empty stretch of the Pine Barrens near Atlantic City after
being decommissioned from their usual role of protecting the skies
of the east coast.

In May of 2001, by presidential order, Cheney was handed direct
control of all wargame and drill operations. This meant he was
solely in charge of the overlapping NORAD drills and wargames on the
morning of 9/11, that prevented Standard Operating Procedure from
being implemented, and any of the hijacked planes being intercepted.

----------------------------------------------------------

Marvin Bush was head of company that did security for Dulles and WTC.
Bushs WTC contract ended on 9/11/2001

Bush signed W199I months before 9 11 ordering FBI not to stop Al-
Qaeda.

The man who took marvin bushs place was John P. O'Neill, the 25
year head of the FBI's counterterrorism team. He quit the FBI as a
result of George Bushs Order W199I-WF-213589. After the attacks
commenced, Oneill called his girlfriend telling her not to worry, he
had escaped his office in the north tower and was safe, away from
the buildings. His body was found on the 24th floor of the south
tower.

Bush meeting with a bin Laden that morning in DC at the Ritz
Carleton, you've got the General of Pakistan and the head of their
intelligence, meeting with the House and Senate chairs of the
intelligence committee at 8:30 that morning, his second trip in his
life to the United States. You've got the FBI paying for the
houses, the cars, the credit cards of the supposed hijackers.

They also found a hijackers passport on a new york street and then
when it was found to be so improbable that it could happen they said
it was a mistake and that it actually wasnt a hijakers passport.

You've got public officials, Mayor Willie Brown, Joint Chiefs of
Staff told not to fly to New York that day. That's all admitted;
what do you say to that?

Ill say it again and again OPERATION NORTHWOODS look it up.

OPERATION NORTHERN VIGILANCE: This was planned months in advance of
9/11 and ensured that on the morning of 9/11, jet fighters were
removed from patrolling the US east coast and sent to Alaska and
Canada, therefore reducing the amount of fighter planes available to
protect the east coast.

BIOWARFARE EXERCISE TRIPOD II: Rudolph Giuliani let the details of
it slip in his testimony to the 9/11 Commission. FEMA arrived in New
York on September 10th to set up a command post located at Pier 29
(at the world trade site) under the auspices of a 'biowarfare
exercise scheduled for September 12. "We were operating out of there
when we were told that the World Trade Center was gonna collapse, I
assure you this is pure coincidence, we had no prior knowlege of the
September 11th attacks." Command post was in building seven before
it was moved to the pier in advance of the attacks.

Silverstein took out billions in insurance on the buildings, the
largest insurance package in history. Other buildings in the center
did not collapse,only Silversteins.

(Silverstein to Rather): I remember getting a call from the, err,
Fire Department commander telling me that they were not sure they
would be able to contain the fire. I thought we had such terrible
loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do was, was pull it, and
they made the decision to pull and we watched the building
collapse.

At Oklahoma City, the same company that destroyed the remnants of
the World Trade Center, blew up the remnants of Oklahoma City [and]
had that buried under machine gun guard at a private landfill to
this day. And Giuliani( a prosecuter who knows the importance of
evidence)hauled the rubble away from the W T C to China! NO
INVESTIGATION

For Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky, the Republican majority gave
out seventy million dollars to investigate, and they started out
with 600,000 dollars to try to figure out what happened on 9 11.
Fire Engineer Magazine said it was totally unbelievable what
happened with this examination of 9 11.

In the case of suspected criminal foul play in a plane crash,
according to regulation, the NTSB would assign the lead
investigative role to the FBI, with assistance from the NTSB and
FAA. A comprehensive investigation of each aircraft crash is not a
regulatory option: they would have been mandatory. No crash
investigations were conducted, disregarded the FAA, Part 121,
regulatory requirement.

Bush himself received the now-notorious August 6, 2001 Presidential
Daily Brief from the CIA, which was entitled, "Bin Laden Determined
to Strike Within the United States." But the president told the
commission he could not recall taking any action as a result. (He
continued his vacation at his Texas ranch for another four weeks).

Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta was in the Presidential
Emergency Operating Center with Vice President Cheney as Flight 77
approached Washington, D.C. On May 23, 2003 in front of the 9/11
Commission, Secretary Mineta testified:
"During the time that the airplane was coming into the Pentagon,
there was a young man in uniform who would come in and say to the
Vice President, "The plane is 50 miles out." "The plane is 30 miles
out." And when it got down to "the plane is 10 miles out," the young
man also said to the Vice President, "Do the orders still stand?"
And the Vice President turned and whipped his neck around and
said, "Of course the orders still stand. Have you heard anything to
the contrary?"

As for pre-9/11 stock trades the 9/11 commision couldn't and never
did deny their unusual nature. Instead, they declared that al-Qaeda
did not conduct the trades, and asked no further questions.

(Dennis Ryan, "Contingency planning, Pentagon MASCAL exercise
simulates scenarios in preparing for emergencies", MDW NEWS 3 Nov
2000. http://www.mdw.army.mil/ )

Bush twice says he saw WTC plane crash live on TV at Booker
Elementary. (Boston Herald, White House)

Bush proceeds with scheduled reading event after Rice tells him a

7/7 London subway. Visor Consultants Drill of bombing on the subway,
the same time and the same 3 terminals that were bombed. PROBABILITY
OF THE DRILL AND TERROR ATTACK COINCIDING BY CHANCE (10yr mean):
3,715,592,613,265,750,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

http://www.infowars.com//articles/London_attack/probability_drill_att
ack_coinciding.htm

Estimate of Grains of sand in the whole world:
7,500,000,000,000,000,000

Peter Power is Managing Director of Visor Consultants Limited based
in Piccadilly, London. Special Advisor for the Canadian Centre for
Emergency Preparedness, Disaster Management Forum (UK) and the
Business Continuity (BC) Institute London Forum. Peter has a senior
Scotland Yard background, the Anti Terrorist Branch, deputy forward
control coordinator at the Libyan People Bureau siege and leading
the team behind the existing police street philosophy for dealing
with terrorist bombs. Spokesman for Scotland Yard- Belfast bombings.

Peter Power, Managing Director of Visor Consultants, a private firm
on contract to the London Metropolitan Police, described in a BBC
interview how he had organized and conducted the anti-terror drill,
on behalf of an unnamed business client.

POWER: At half past nine this morning we were actually running an
exercise for a company of over a thousand people in London based on
simultaneous bombs going off precisely at the railway stations where
it happened this morning, so I still have the hairs on the back of
my neck standing up right now.

HOST: To get this quite straight, you were running an exercise to
see how you would cope with this and it happened while you were
running the exercise?

POWER: Precisely.

In addition to the 7/7 exercise conducted by Visor Consultants, a
similar mock terror drill on London's transportation system
entitled "Atlantic Blue" was held in April 2005, barely three months
prior to the real attacks. In 2003, a mock terror drill labelled
OSIRIS 2 was conducted. It consisted, according to Peter Power in
testing the "equipment and people deep in the Underground of
London". It involved the participation of several hundred people.
(Interview with Peter Power, CTV, 11 July 2005).

"Atlantic Blue" was part of a much larger US sponsored emergency
preparedness exercise labelled TOPOFF 3, which included the
participation of Britain and Canada. It had been ordered by the UK
Secretary of State for the Home Department, Mr. Charles Clarke, in
close coordination with his US counterpart Michael Chertoff.

In 2002, the US Defense Science Board (DSB) prepared a 78 page
briefing Summer Study on Special Operations and Joint Forces in
Support of Countering Terrorism.

The report, produced by a 10-member panel of military experts under
the auspices of the DSB, advocates a greatly expanded and more
assertive role for covert military actions, intelligence collection
and operations to

"stimulate reactions"

among terrorists and states possessing weapons of mass destruction.

One way to invigorate US intelligence would be to "Develop an
entirely new capability to proactively,

preemptively evoke responses from adversary/terrorist groups,"

according to the DSB. Such an approach would "improve
[intelligence] information collection by stimulating reactions" from
the target [3], i.e., provoke terrorists into action.[4]

The Democrats seem more determined to get us into war than Republicans.

Reid is a co-sponsor – along with Sens. George Allen (R-Va.), John McCain (R-Ariz.), Evan Bayh (D-Ind.), and Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.). – of the new Iran sanctions legislation, which is opposed by the Bush administration as too radical and warmongering. Sen. Dick Lugar (R-Ind.), not any Democrat, is leading the opposition to the draconian bill drafted by wingnuts Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.). The imposition of strict economic sanctions on Iran would be, in itself, an act just short of war – and would send out an unmistakable signal to the Iranians and the rest of the world: the shooting is about to start.

[political-research] Bloglines - Why “Pick On” Israel? Here’s Why


Fountainhead
Truth exists, falsehood has to be invented.

Why “Pick On” Israel? Here’s Why

By Anwaar Hussain

Why “Pick On” Israel? Here’s Why

by John Spritzler

Israel’s defenders have a stock argument that goes like this:

"Why do people pick on Israel? Sure, Israel has its faults, just like any country. Its government is not perfect and sometimes it does bad things. What government doesn’t? But how come some people seem to focus only on Israel? Boycott Israel, divest from Israel, they say; but never boycott Russia or China or Saudi Arabia or a host of other countries that do bad things. Israel, they say, violates human rights of Palestinians. If they’re so concerned about human rights, how come they’re not bothered by China’s attack on Tibetans, or Russia’s attack on Chechnians, or Saudi Arabia’s attack on women’s human rights? Hmmm. Why would people want to just pick on tiny little Israel, a Jewish state? Only one reason...they’re anti-Semites."

Nice try, but this defense of Israel is easily refuted. There are a lot of excellent reasons for singling Israel out, and none of them have anything to do with anti-Semitism.

#1. Jesus put it this way. “Why do you behold the mote in your brother’s eye but consider not the beam in your own eye?” For Americans, Israel's crimes are the beam in our own eye. The crimes of China and Russia and Saudi Arabia etc. are the motes in the eyes of others. Our government supports Israel with virtually unconditional diplomatic support and vastly more military and economic aid than it gives to any other nation. Israel gets this overwhelming U.S. aid because it serves the aims not of ordinary Americans but of our ruling upper class (see #4 and #5 below.) No other country plays this role and receives this kind of support from our government today.

#2. Israel is not the only nation that carries out ethnic cleansing, but it is the only nation that is founded on the principle of ethnic cleansing. Israel defines itself as a state of the Jews. Unlike every other state on the planet, which all at least purport to be a state of the people who live in it, Israel adamantly insists it is not a state of the people who live in it, one fifth of whom are not Jewish. Israel is not a state of its residents. It is a state of “the Jews.” And by “the Jews” Israel means Jews wherever they live, including Jews who never lived inside Israel and who have no intention of ever living there. Israel insists that its population must be overwhelmingly Jewish and so it drove out 80% of the non-Jews in 1948 and continues to this day to carry out a brutal ethnic cleansing to get rid of the Palestinians by making life so unbearable for them that they will leave Palestine. No other country does this today.

#3. Israel is the only nation that self-righteously accuses any critic of its ethnic cleansing of being a bigot (anti-Semite.) It is the only nation that insists that its racist policies are “a light unto the nations.” If we let Israel get away with this we are contributing not only to its actual ethnic cleansing, but to its glorification of the principle of ethnic cleansing, which aids and abets this crime everywhere in the world. No other country, not even ones that engage in it, glorify ethnic cleansing this way today.

#4. Israel is the only nation that spreads contempt around the world for the idea of democracy by defining it to mean the government choosing the people instead of the other way around. Israel boasts that it is the “only democracy in the Middle East.” Democracy is an extremely good thing. It is a valuable idea that humanity needs to embrace and that elite rulers try to discredit. But democracy means that the people who live in a state choose its government. In Israel, on the contrary, the government, in the name of democracy, has chosen the people–“the Jews”–and has driven 80% of the un-chosen people out of its borders and made the remaining 20% of them second class citizens completely excluded from the category of people who are officially the sovereign authority over the state. No other country does this today.

#5. No other country surpasses Israel’s polarizing of the entire world, between Muslims versus non-Muslims, by carrying out vicious and gratuitous attacks on the same mainly Muslim population for more than five decades without let up. Israel thereby foments not only a regional ethnic war but a global "War on Terrorism" that serves the same Orwellian social-control needs of all world elites (from the U.S. to China to Russia to Saudi Arabia) that the Cold War served in the past. No other country does this today.

#6. More can be learned about our own United States, and about the source of our own domestic problems and how to solve them, by understanding why it is right to divest from and boycott Israel than by understanding why it might be good to divest from and boycott Russia or China or any other country. The reason is that our domestic problems, like job insecurity, illegal immigration, war, lack of health care, extreme inequality and so on are caused by our corporate and government leaders for the purpose of making us easier for them to control. These same leaders have singled out Israel, unique among all other nations, to enjoy their unwavering and overwhelming support for the same reason–Israel helps to foment the global war that makes the world population easier to control. To understand why our leaders support Israel, and why they pretend to seek peace in that region but never put real pressure on Israel to stop its unjust ethnic cleansing, is to gain insight into how these same leaders control us by deliberately creating the very domestic problems they claim to be trying to solve.

We need that insight to build a revolutionary movement to create a real democracy in the United States instead of the fake democracy we have now, controlled by a wealthy and privileged upper class. Of all the foreign nations that we have been lied to about how wonderful they are and how deserving of our support they are, the lies about Israel are the ones that our rulers have used most effectively to get us to support a foreign policy of warmongering designed to strengthen upper class control over working people around the world. No other nation plays this role today.

[political-research] Bush Iran Strategy Suffers Major Diplomatic Defeat - by Gareth


http://www.antiwar.com/orig/porter.php?articleid=9128

Excerpt:

Despite claims that U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has regained the diplomatic initiative from Iran with a conditional offer to join multilateral talks with Tehran, the real story behind the policy shift is that the administration has suffered a decisive defeat of its effort to get international sanctions for possible military action against Iran.

U.S. officials and French and British diplomats have sought to obscure the failure to get the agreement of Russia and China to a hard-line UN Security Council resolution making Iranian compliance mandatory if it refused to suspend its uranium enrichment activities. Nevertheless, details of the proposal finally given to Iran and Russia's subsequent statement both confirm that the administration has had to accept a package without the threat of Security Council action it had counted on.

Option Valuation: Mark Thoma v. the National Review

By PGL

Thomas E. Nugent Robert F. Clarke defend CEO compensation in part by claiming that the granting of employee stock options is like handing out free money. He notes the compensation package of the retired chairman of Exxon Mobil, Lee Raymond:

On this last point, options are typically granted from time to time at an exercise price equal to the market price of the stock on the date of the grant. At some point (often after 10 years), the options must be exercised, or they will be forfeited … But here’s what’s most important: In this example, the company paid the CEO a total of $12.5 million - not $69.7 million. The $57.2 million difference is a gain in the value of the shares earned by this CEO’s stewardship of the company. Importantly, the rest of the company’s shareholders (including, but not limited to, your pension plan and your mother’s trust fund) realized the same proportionate gain.

Mark Thoma reads this sentence, watches his head explode, but manages to put himself back together to write something a lot more coherent:
You are the CEO of a company but instead of paying you in cash, the company gives you an option to buy, say, 1,000 shares of stock any time during the next ten years at the current $100 price ($100,000 total). Over the next ten years, suppose the price of the stock increases to $250 so the 1,000 shares are worth $250,000 and the CEO exercises the option at the end of the ten year period. The easiest way to think about this is to imagine the company going out and buying the stock on the market at $250 per share at the end of the ten year period (if it purchased them in the past, the $250 is still the opportunity cost). Since the company receives $100 per share from the CEO, the option price, the company loses $150 per share, or $150,000. The argument is that "compensating [CEOs] ... has not come at the expense of company profits." Where do the writers of this commentary think the money comes from if it isn't from the company's bottom line?

Given the fact that companies often avoid stock dilution by purchasing shares when employees exercise these options, there is indeed a cash outflow as Mark suggests. While Mark follows Nugent Clarke in terms of looking at the ex post value of the options, let’s use this Black-Scholes calculator to think in terms of the ex ante value of an option with a 10-year term. If the strike price equals the initial market price of the shares, which is $100 in Mark’s example, and if we assume no dividends, an interest rate of 5%, and volatility = 20 (ConocoPhillip’s 10-K was suggesting 22.5), the ex ante value of these options would be around $45. Not exactly a free lunch – is it? Now if you read carefully, the 10-K filing I was using, you might have noticed that the expected life of ConocoPhillip’s options were 7.18 not 10 so maybe we should assume an option price of only $37. You might have also noticed that these types of companies pay out dividends to shareholders to the shareholders, so that the simple Black-Scholes equation overstates the true value of these options.

But if Nugent Clarke think that issuing options to CEOs does not have a cost to the shareholders of the company, there are not qualified to write about executive compensation. Which is of course why they get to write for the National Review.
