IRS - CRA

The Fake IRS

Regarding the IRS…..

The problem is that neither the “Internal Revenue Service” or “INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE” which are run under the auspices of the FEDERAL RESERVE, nor the “IRS” which is run under the auspices ofthe IMF, are government agencies–they are just subcontractors hired as bill collectors by the “IRS” and accountants by the INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE.

It’s hardly worth going after the lackeys. The ones responsible are much higher up the food chain. The one number used as both “your” Social Security Number and “your” Taxpayer Identification Number is used to keep two accounts—one records credit due and one records debts due. The IRS (IMF) keeps track of the debt side, and the INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE (FEDERAL RESERVE) keeps track of the credit side.

The IRS sends a bill to you in the name of “JOHN QUINCY ADAMS” — a STATE-owned ESTATE trust, for charges related to the government services provided by the UNITED STATES (INC.). This is just business, howbeit, it involves known mail fraud. The “tax” is a bill for public services rendered— defense, roads, you name it. And so far as that goes, it is perfectly justifiable bill which is purposefully and self-interestedly misaddressed. The debt side of “your” account is run under the familiar number in the form 123-45-6789, with dashes. Dashes = debt side of the ledger.

Where this all falls apart is the presumption that the STATE franchise and the UNITED STATES (INC.) are making that you, the living man, are responsible for providing private credit for this public debt and that you have “voluntarily” agreed to act as an unpaid federal employee known as a “withholding agent”. They never explained anything about their “system” to you, and certainly did not provide “full disclosure” so you are well within your rights to object and invoke your Common Law right preserved by UCC 1-308 and 1-103.6 not to be bound by any defective contract, including those that are unilateral, lacking full disclosure, which are inequitable, not in-kind, tainted by fraud, entered into by Third Parties merely claiming to “represent” you, or which are deemed to exist as a result of your receiving any compelled benefit or fruit of monopoly inducement.

You can “just say no” to the IRS and sever any further presumption or relationship with them as of the end of the federal fiscal year (June 30) of any year you choose. You simply invoke your rights stated above and send the IRS a polite letter referencing 26 USC 6013 and tell them that you are “revoking your election to pay” as of the 30th of June…..

However, as irritated as we all are and as unjust and criminally misrepresented their administration of the “income tax” is and has been, we also have to admit that government services have to be paid for.

So now we come to the other side of the account ledger. The credit side of “your” account is operated under “your” Social Security Number without dashes and enclosed by asterisks: *123456789* by the “INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE” run by the FEDERAL RESERVE that has recently reorganized under the auspices of the UN INC.

Technically, you have never owed any income tax, ever, in your life. The very word “income” is a corporate accounting term. Corporations accrue income. Living people accrue property. That’s the legal definition long and short of it.

What has been done by those claiming to “represent” you, is to set up various legal fiction entities operated under your given name. So the debts of “JOHN QUINCY ADAMS” are the debts of a federally owned and operated ESTATE trust located in Puerto Rico, and as a legal fiction entity— a corporate entity— it does accrue “income”. In fact, because the rats have unlawfully and without your knowing consent “converted” your bank account to the ownership of this ESTATE trust, every dime you “donate” to “JOHN” is considered taxable income.

That’s how the IRS prosecutes its victims— it claims that you owe the debts of this Puerto Rican ESTATE trust and uses the confusion caused by the semantic deceit of “similar names” to entrap you into their court proceedings and then use the already accomplished unlawful conversion of your bank account to seize funds held in the NAME of “JOHN QUINCY ADAMS”.

All this nastiness could be avoided, if this system were functioning properly, and the debts of “JOHN QUINCY ADAMS” were being paid by the Internal Revenue Service—- which is what should be happening. The Internal Revenue Service now being operated as the INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE has control of the credit side of the “JOHN QUINCY ADAMS” account, and there is plenty of credit in his account to discharge any debt that “HE” owes, however, since the IRS is billing you, instead of billing “HIM”, you get caught in the cross-hairs, quite unnecessarily.

The Secretary of the Treasury has without justification “blocked” most of these credit accounts and pretended that the beneficiaries of these ESTATES are “unknown”—-even though they manage to find you readily enough when they are trying to collect a debt, they pretend that you are “missing” when it comes time to pay one. Most recently the rats have attempted to redefine your ESTATE trust which is operated under your name styled like this: “JOHN QUINCY ADAMS” and run by the Washington, DC.

Municipal Government, as a “transmitting utility” owned and operated by the United Nations City State and doing business under your name styled as in: “JOHN Q. ADAMS”.

Please note that “JOHN Q. ADAMS” is not even a legal and specific and clearly identifiable name— it could be relate to a man named John Quincy Adams or another man named John Quentin Adams, and so on.

These semantic deceits resulting in false claims and identity theft and misappropriation of credit and mis-administration of the public trusts is the heart of the real fraud practiced and fostered by the “Internal Revenue Service” / “IRS” system.

We — especially the judges and law enforcement and military men and politicians — have got to put a stop to this craziness and mis-administration and identity theft, or there will be nothing stopping any foreign state and any private corporation from creating legal fiction entities “in our names” and bringing false charges against us.

As for this history– 1917 the Trading With the Enemy Act falsely declared that the American People — the employers of the United States of America, Inc., were “enemies” and conscripted– that is, “borrowed” us and our property “for the war effort”. Now, it should be recognized that no corporation has the right to declare “war” on anyone or anything, and that the men doing this had no granted authority to “represent” us in any such manner or fashion, much less authority to lay a false claim against the employers of the United States of America, Inc. It was fraud then and it is fraud now. All claims based upon it are null and void and the rats merely need to be called on it and held feet first to the flames.

However, they did this, as they did their take over of the monetary system via the “Federal Reserve Act”—another piece of fraud—under conditions of semantic deceit and secrecy. In this way the banks running the “Federal Reserve System” placed a false claim of ownership against us and our assets— our land, our businesses, our homes, everything.

After the First World War ended, they failed to return our property to us. They kept it and in 1933, the rats gratuitously included us and all our property as part of their bankruptcy. They falsely claimed that we were standing as “voluntary sureties” for the debts of the now-bankrupt “United States of America, Inc.” and its “State of………” franchises.

So, having “borrowed” our assets, they now falsely claimed that we were responsible for their debts, and in this manner, enslaved and obligated us, just as a co-signer on a car loan is obligated. Again, none of this was fully disclosed, and the nature of the “United States of America, Inc.” as merely a privately owned and operated governmental services corporation being run by the Federal Reserve banks was never revealed to the American People.

As a result of these acts of fraud and false pretenses Americans have labored for almost a hundred years to pay debts that they largely never owed and have been grossly imposed upon and defrauded by people they trusted and who owed them the fiduciary trust that has been violated.

As of July 1, 2013, the Pope cleaned house and settled the “bankruptcy” of the United States of America, Inc. At that point, all the Puerto Rican ESTATE trusts should have been formally dissolved and all assets presumed to belong to them should have been returned to their true beneficiaries, the living American people. Instead, the criminals in DC contrived to try to work out another “new deal” with the operators of the United Nations City State.

The United Nations City State has allowed the old criminals who were running the “Federal Reserve System” to reorganize as the “new” “FEDERAL RESERVE” under UN auspices. This criminal syndicate has claimed— falsely as ever—-that all the property contained in the individual ESTATES was “abandoned” and therefore belongs to the banks, and they have begun to try to transfer all title and ownership of OUR property and assets into their brand new transmitting utilities doing business under the “JOHN Q. ADAMS” names.

Pope Francis gave them three years in which to come into compliance with their corporate charters, or face being liquidated. Over one whole year has passed and so far, they are laughing in his face and doing everything they can to rob, rape, pillage, damage, and confuse the American People they have victimized for so long.

Make no mistake— these people running both the FEDERAL RESERVE and the IMF are criminals and these organizations are international criminal syndicates which have enslaved and falsely indebted the American People via identity theft, the practice of personage, unlawful conversion of assets, fiduciary trust fraud, kidnapping, inland piracy, contract default increasing the public debt, and myriad other offenses.

The American People are owed all their assets back, together with the interest and profit which have been made off those assets. The American organic States are similarly owed all their assets back. All that was “borrowed” must be returned, and any false pretense that the “UNITED STATES” (INC.) or any “successor” to this fraud— the UN CORP, for example, has any right to continue to control Americans or their property via this network of fraud and false claims must cease.

This is what the rats have done to America and Americans. Every single one of them who knew the truth and did nothing about it, are criminals in our midst. Now that it is becoming known, it is only a matter of time before the similar frauds that have impacted Europe and the former Commonwealth will become self-evident and the perpetrators forced out of their holes like the vermin they are and prosecuted as such on both a national and international basis.

Let that end come and come quickly. Let the sorting of the goats from the sheep begin. Those who have been complicit through ignorance must come out of Babylon, or be destroyed with it.

1040 for Non-Resident Aliens

It should be noted that the OMB(Office of Management and Budget) number on the Form 1040 is the number of the type of return required of NON-RESIDENT ALIENS.
     Now, a little clarification here. Rights come from God. Privileges come from government. The enjoyment of a right is considered "harmless", and is therefore outside the purview of the law. But the enjoyment of an activity which is dangerous to the public is considered a privilege. We discharge our debt to God for our rights with tithes and offerings, being charitable, etc. How do we discharge our debt to government for privileges?
   I would like to provide a brief synopsis of the matter. When Thomas Jefferson, arguably the greatest American who ever lived, listed the broad categories of God-given rights in the Declaration, there were three: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. John Adams and some others whom Jefferson consulted with felt that his original third category of "property" was too limiting so he changed it to "the pursuit of happiness", meaning absolutely anything you darn well pleased to do as long as it did not interfere with anything that your neighbor had a right to do. For the government to attempt to charge you for that which comes from God is nothing short of larceny and extortion. So, the government cannot lawfully charge you for being alive, being free, or working in order to make money with which to provide food, clothing, shelter, and entertainment to yourself and your loved ones, without which there could be no "happiness".

However, suppose you see great opportunity in engaging in an occupation which is outright dangerous to the public, or at least certainly has that potential, such as manufacturing transporting, and selling alcohol, firearms, or tobacco. After all, alcohol and tobacco alone are responsible for the deaths of approximately 750,000 Americans every year. It is within the delegated duties of government to minimize the danger to the public represented by such activities by regulating them, insuring they are conducted within approved guidelines. It would not be fair for the general public to be burdened with the salaries, benefits, and retirement expenses of those whom the government hires to do the regulating. It would only be fair if those who choose to engage in such dangerous occupations had to pay the entire cost of the regulatory activity. There is a name for this cost. The name for this cost is the "Income Tax". This is the sum total of the matter. It's all you need to understand about it, along with the fact that the I_R_S only has jurisdiction in those areas of the nation and the world where Congress has "exclusive legislation", as per Art. 1, par. 8, cl. 17 of the Constitution, which would be the 10 sq. mi. of Washington D.C., forts, magazines, etc., and all territories and protectorates. All 3.5 million words of the IR Code were written with this basic foundation as a starting point. It's like you took a needle, and then surrounded it with a haystack. That's about as accurate an analogy as I can envision to describe the tiny body of truth in taxation surrounded by millions of words of legalese written at the 32nd grade level, according to a group of grammar experts, while a Doctorate degree in English is only the 20th grade level. Does anyone smell a rat here? The IR Code hims and haws for hundreds of thousands of words after other hundreds of thousands of words, all in a very clever and diabolical attempt to mislead the average reader into thinking he is liable for income tax, but without ever actually coming right out and saying so because to do so would be to open up the floodgates for litigation from lawsuits relative to the clearly unlawful attempt by government to charge us for that which we have received from God. It should be kept in mind that ALL of the loses sustained by the I-R-S over the last decade or so, such as Vernie Kuglin and Joe Banister, have resulted from the defendants simply asking the prosecution for the law that established their liability to file. Not even Joe Banister's former boss at the Criminal Investigation Division of the I-R-S, perhaps the most feared man in this country, could identify that law when asked to during his deposition. That was like an atomic bomb, in our favor.

Any skeptics out there relative to the foregoing only have to use a F.O.I.A. request to obtain a copy of their IMF(Individual Master File) at I-R-S Headquarters in Philadelphia to confirm the truthfulness of my words here. Your IMF will have you listed as having your primary place of residence in the Virgin Islands (one of the 'Protectorates' of the corporate United States), and your occupation will be listed as the alcohol, gun, tobacco, or drug business. Without one single exception to date, this has been the experience of everyone who has obtained a copy of their IMF. The fraud represented here is incalculable. Literally trillions of dollars worth of property and sweat equity have been stolen from ignorant Americans over the years by their own government, with that wealth being transferred to the owners of the Federal Reserve Bank, a private, for-profit, foreign corporation owned by atheistic, fake jew zionists who have used that wealth to reign with blood and horror on this earth ever since they swindled Congress and President Woodrow Wilson into passing the blatantly unconstitutional Federal Reserve Act in 1913. This level of theft and subsequent bloodshed is unprecedented in the history of the world. Nothing else even comes close.

I applaud all those who are valiantly fighting this most terrifying of beasts which apparently has an insatiable appetite for blood and suffering. This applause is especially due to those who get incarcerated, like Sherry Peel Jackson and Irwin Schiff, and those who get excommunicated from the church for their valiance. We do indeed have heroes and heroins amongst us. It is my hope and prayer that we do our duty to God in the cause of freedom by following their lead.

Please note the TITLE of the 1040.

"U.S. INDIVIDUAL Income Tax Return"

It does NOT say US Citizen Tax Return

It does NOT say US person Tax Return

Where it could divide categories into multiple and a few SEPARATE
forms for filing by those separate people it just kinda "lumps"
everyone? into one category… "INDIVIDUAL". Or does it?

That's NOT the way for a nation of FREE "PEOPLE" to tax themselves,
now is it? That's not the way to avoid all the so-called
mis-understanding about the INCOME TAX, now is it? And our courts
send "people" to prison for this misunderstanding?

Not unless this page has more meaning than anything you've ever
read about the "Income Tax".

When law is written, CATEGORIES are important.

Law is almost never written that "… all apples, oranges, bananas
and BROCCOLI will be eligible for etc…" Law "writing" for the
sake of clarity has RULES.

1) Hence a valid question is generated when someone asks why in
Title 26 does it combine "Persons, INDIVIDUALS, Corporations, LLC's,
Partnerships and Trusts" together if "PERSONS" and "INDIVIDUALS"
are the same as "human beings"? Government CREATED the former and
our CREATOR/s created the latter.

There is a difference in these two "categories" when RIGHTS are
orecogized. The GOVERNMENT can tax or change the rights of what
it created and ONLY the CREATOR can tax or change the RIGHTS of
what it created. The RULES of STATUTORY CONSTRUCTION prohibit the
mixing of fruits and vegetables in the writing of the law.

And while there may always be an "EXCEPTION," why is there
no notice of such an exception in Title 26 when "PERSONS" and
INDIVIDUALS" are clumped together with [other] judicially created
CORPORATIONS, LLC's, PARTNERSHIPS and TRUSTS are listed with them?

Now, back to the SIGNATURE CARD you sign at a "National" Bank
(the "bank" is an INSTRUMENTALITY of the corporation known as the
"United States", Davis v. Elmira Savings, 1896,) that provides you,
a human being, one of the "We the People" the absolute opportunity
to SELF define YOUR category as a US "person"?

As a "PERSON", and according to the rules of Statutory Construction,
are you not also defining yourself as an INDIVIDUAL, a JUDICIALLY
CREATED entity absolutely and unequivocally required to file a…

U.S. INDIVIDUAL Income Tax Return

In "Invisible Contracts" (The Frank May Letter) and contrary to
what some so-called attorneys who work for the government (as in
all of them) Mr. George Mercier clearly and articulately outlines
all of these issues for you to make your own decision.

There is a reason for this re-definition of human beings into
corporations and it's not quite as simple as outlined above. It
has as much to do with the goals of the TRUE founders of the
Federal Reserve to turn humanity into human CHATTEL... or if you
will INDIVIDUALS.

Paul Warburg was far more successful in changing our status
from a CREATED HUMAN BEING into corporate CHATTEL than was ever
recognized. After all is said and done, besides creating the
"technical details" of the Federal Reserve on Jekyll Island in
1910, his job as Mr. Rothschild's 1901 emmissary to the US had a
far greater goal.

Win Against IRS

Tennessee Man Wins "Willful Failure to File" Case

IRS Strategy Upset

Reprinted from "Alert" (Circa 1992-1993) POB 9411, Boise, Idaho 83707

NON-TAXPAYER BEATS IRS IN TENNESSEE COURT BATTLE

Another Research Foundation Member Found "Not Guilty" on All Counts in Well-Publicized Jury Trial
by Lamarr Hardy

"Hallelujah!" was Lloyd L. Long's first comment, after being acquitted, recently, of all "Willful Failure to File" tax charges lodged against him by the Internal Revenue Service for the years 1989 and 1990. How did he do that? No, it wasn't a "miracle." Long did it by bringing before the jury solid, well-documented evidence, acquired from the Research Foundation, and other sources.

Long based his defense on his personal belief that he was not a person required to file Federal income tax returns. Long's war of words was engaged through his attorneys, the nationally-prominent Lowell Becraft of Huntsville, Alabama and Russell J. Leonard of Sewanee, Tennessee, who fought with the most powerful and time-honored weapon available: THE TRUTH!

ARGUMENTS OPEN JURY EYES IN 3-DAY COURT BATTLE

To open his defense, Long testified under oath that he had personally studied the IR Code (Title 26), and truly believed the income tax to be an excise tax which applied only to specific type of individuals or "persons" specified in the IR Code.

According to Long's research, the income tax applied ONLY to non- resident aliens, and U.S. citizens living abroad in a country where a tax treaty exists with the United States (Internal Revenue Code Sections 1441-1443).

Long stated that the only other IR Code section he found that deals with the issue of who is liable for income tax on the "withholding agent." In conclusion Long said "I am not one of those people referred to in Sections 1441, 1442, and 1461, and therefore I believe the law cannot apply to me." Long, to verify his statement, picked up his copy of IR Code book, (a 2 1/4 inch thick, 5 lb. volume containing 9,416 pages of small print!) and cited one of the pages he had carefully tabbed from Section 7701(a)(16) which defines the term "withholding agent" used in Section 1461.

The jury also heard Long say that "there are many other tax liability sections that apply 'privileged occupation' to those who are involved in the sale or manufacture of alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, and the manufacture of firearms, BUT I CAN FIND NO SECTION IN SUBTITLE A THAT APPLIES TO ME."

FILING "REQUIRED BY LAW" DECLARES PROSECUTION LAWYER

In presenting the case for the Internal Revenue Service, assistant U.S. Attorney Curtis Collier, assisted by IRS special agent Michael Cheasley, declared that Mr. Long had a gross income in excess of $49,000 for each of the years 1989 and 1990, and that he had "willfully" failed to file income tax returns for those years as "required by law."

In trial, the defense admitted that Mr. Long did in fact have income in excess of $49,000 for each of the years in question, and that he did not file a return. Attorney Becraft, in defense of Long, proceeded to prove to the jury beyond a reasonable doubt that Long was not "liable" for an income tax, nor was he "required by law" to file.

COURT RULINGS CITED AS PROOF

Defense testimony showed a case titled "Brushaber v Union Pacific Railroad" wherein it was the unanimous decision of the U.S. Supreme Court that the Sixteenth Amendment (to the Constitution) did not give congress any new power to tax any new subjects; it merely tried to simplify the way in which the tax was imposed. The ruling also showed that the income tax was, in fact, an excise tax on corporate privileges and privileged occupations.

The defense then brought out a case entitled "Flint v Stone Tracy Co." wherein an excise tax was defined as being a tax laid upon the manufacture, sale and consumption of commodities within the country; upon licenses to pursue certain occupations; and upon corporate privileges.

Long's attorneys also brought out a case entitled "Simins v Arehns" wherein the court ruled that the income tax was neither a property tax nor a tax upon occupations of common right, but was an excise tax.

Next the defense turned to the case of "Redfield v Fisher." In this instance, the court ruled that an individual, unlike the corporation, cannot be taxed for the mere privilege of existing, but that the individual's right to live and own property was a natural right upon which an excise cannot be imposed. Defense also pointed to several studies done by the Congressional Research Service showing the INCOME TAX is an EXCISE.

A Tennessee Supreme Court case, "Jack Cole v Commissioner," provided the fifth defense argument. Here, the court ruled that CITIZENS ARE ENTITLED BY RIGHT TO INCOME OR EARNINGS AND THAT RIGHT COULD NOT BE TAXED AS A PRIVILEGE.

Finally, Long's legal team pointed to another Tennessee Supreme Court case, "Corn v Fort," in which the court ruled that individuals have a right to combine their activities as partnerships; and that this is a natural right, independent and antecedent of government.

NO IRS CHALLENGE

What's interesting to note here is that the prosecution did not challenge or attempt to refute any of the cases cited, or the conclusions of the courts. Furthermore, on the following defense, once again the prosecution did not challenge or attempt to refute the point made by Long's attorneys, nor were they able to show a statute that made anyone liable for income tax.

This testimony, brought out by Defense was the fact that NOWHERE IN THE ENTIRE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE (some 9,722 separate Sections, as of 1992!) WAS ANYONE ACTUALLY MADE LIABLE FOR THE INCOME TAX.

DEFENSE CITES IRS'S OWN CODE BOOK

Long's attorneys showed that in the IRS's own privacy act (Notice #609), only three sections were cited, and that none of these sections made anyone liable for the income tax. They also proved that this was not an oversight, by showing that the alcohol tax was worded so clearly that no one could misinterpret who was made liable for the alcohol tax.

At this time, Defense presented one of the arguments provided by Long's Research Foundation studies. They read to the jury the Mission Statement of the Internal Revenue Service, which state that the income tax relied upon "VOLUNTARY COMPLIANCE," and a quote from the head of the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax Division of the IRS which, in essence, showed that the income tax is 100% voluntary, as opposed to the alcohol tax, which is 100% enforced.

LONG TESTIFIES

Under oath, Lloyd L. Long now testified that in 1988 he knew that the income tax was, in fact, an excise tax based on his personal research on the issue, and that he was not enjoying any corporate privileges nor engaged in any privileged occupation, and further that income or earnings from the exercise of common right could not be taxed as an excise or otherwise, and that nowhere in the Internal Revenue Code was he made liable for the tax; that he had always believed that the income tax was voluntary (just as the IRS own Mission Statement states!).

LONG'S EXTENSIVE PRE-TRIAL RESEARCH USED IN EVIDENCE

Lloyd L. Long came to his attorneys, and to trial "prepared to be acquitted" (as it were). What had he already done? Long had written a series of letters to the IRS explaining that he believed that he had no licenses or privileges issued to him by the Federal government. In his letters he asked the IRS for direct answers to simple questions such as: "Am I required to file federal income tax returns?" and "Am I liable for federal income taxes?" (He was building a strong evidentiary foundation for his belief that he was NOT a person "required.")

THE IRS NEVER GAVE A DIRECT ANSWER TO ANY OF LONG'S PERSONAL LETTERS OR QUESTIONS. Instead, they inferred and insinuated and extrapolated and beat around the bush, and generally avoided answering his letters. This is when Long testified "I decided to stop 'volunteering' because if the IRS can't answer my questions, I must assume that I'm correct; that there is NO section of the IRS Code that makes me liable for the income tax.

IRS WITNESS CRUMPLES UNDER CROSS-EXAMINATION

The IRS now brought in two "expert" witnesses, who -- it was learned - - were actually IRS employees who had received special training as professional witnesses.

Under cross-examination, Defense attorney Larry Becraft faced down Special Agent, Ms. Jeu. She admitted that a secret code, known only to the IRS and encoded on Mr. Long's permanent record, showed that THE IRS KNEW THAT HE WAS NOT REQUIRED TO MAIL OR FILE A 1040 INCOME TAX RETURN. Ms. Jeu, of course, made every effort to avoid the admission, to the point that she was beginning to frustrate the jury. Finally the judge ordered her to answer the question!

Under cross-examination by Mr. Becraft, the other Special Agent gave testimony that conflicted with the Privacy Act notice. (Attempts by the IRS at a cover-up of the truth must have been obvious to the jury, by this time.)

GOVERNMENT USES "GUILT BY ASSOCIATION" AS A DESPERATE PLOY

In a last ditch attempt, the Prosecution tried to insinuate "guilt by association." They claimed Mr. Long had "known and relied upon persons of questionable character." Their argument was that the writers of some of the books he had read, and some of the people he knew and relied on as the basis for his belief had been convicted of tax-related charges in the past, and were in fact "criminals."

Long responded that just because a person had been convicted of a crime by a court, this did not invalidate everything he said. To illustrate his point, Long pointed out that "the Apostle Paul was a murderer, but by the Grace of God he became the greatest of the Apostles." He added "I did not rely on anything that I did not personally check out thoroughly."

BECRAFT SUMMATION "FINISHES" IRS

In summation, Mr. Becraft reminded the jury that Galileo was imprisoned for holding a belief that conflicted with what everyone else "knew as a fact" and that Columbus, acting on a belief which conflicted with what everyone else knew as a "fact," discovered something no one else thought existed.

The jury agreed with the Defense. By finding Lloyd L. Long "Not Guilty" on all counts, they have ventured into hitherto uncharted territory in their monumental decision.

A Chattanooga TV station quoted a government spokesman as saying that this case will change the way the IRS will handle such cases in the future. The spokesman for the government indicated that the government will, "be less likely to prosecute if a jury isn't going to decide in our favor."
