Our Servant Government Again Swings Its Big Stick

Dear Friends,

Many of you will recall Al Thompson, one of the courageous business owners who agreed to be featured in a full page U.S.A. Today advertisement in order to alert the public about the true requirements of federal withholding laws. In typical underhanded fashion, federal and state tax apparatuses have worked very hard to destroy these men since the ad was published.

Showing even more courage in the face of government-sponsored dirty tricks, Al placed his Department of Justice oppressors in a difficult position by forcing them to grapple with the truth. A federal court had ordered Al to file payroll tax documents pursuant to Department of Justice request. Al clarified with the court that any of these forms filed should be true and correct and the court told him to work such details out with the Department of Justice. Al agreed to sign the payroll tax forms entitled "Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Return" if the Department of Justice oppressors would simply certify that Al was an "employer" (see the top heading of the form http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f941.pdf ) and a "person", words having unique and limited definitions as reflected in the Internal Revenue Code that do not necessarily conform with what the public might consider those terms to mean in everyday usage. Rather than produce such a certification, a simple act if indeed the statutory law included Al within its scope, the Department of Justice returned to court and told the judge that Al was in violation of the court order and should be held in contempt of court. Al was arrested and has been held in the Sacramento County Jail ever since.

Hopefully those who have been paying attention to the efforts of the "Tax Honesty Movement" are seeing a pattern here. Rather than provide simple answers and/or explanations to simple questions and/or clarification requests about the explicit language of statutes and regulations, whether it be in response to my attempts to get answers from the IRS while I served as one of the agency's own criminal investigators, or Al's attempts as a conscientious businessman to obtain clarification regarding withholding requirements, or the thousands of other Americans who have made similar inquiries, the government always reaches for the club rather than a chair at the discussion table.

Ask yourself, who reaches for a club rather than a chair when a citizen requests such clarification, a government operating with the consent of the governed or a group of unaccountable tyrants? Does the language of the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution give any indication that our government was to be run by a group of unaccountable tyrants or does the language of these documents indicate that we were distancing ourselves from a group of unaccountable tyrants?

Al has given permission to publish a letter he recently wrote to me that provides more details about his recent experiences. I hope that you will consider writing to him. His address is Walter Allen Thompson #4028467, 651 "I" Street 5W101, Sacramento, California 95814-2400. As a word of caution, remember that your name and what you say in your letter will not be private because jail facilities routinely examine the contents of letters and may record the names and other identifying information of the letter's author. Exercise appropriate judgment. If you do write, providing websites such as www.freedomabovefortune.com and www.hearliberty.com and any other useful information may provide an opportunity to show Al's captors that he is a principled political prisoner fighting for honesty in taxation rather than some type of criminal. Remember that also Al may not be able to respond unless you send him a stamp and envelope. Al's letter follows:

Dear Joe,

Thank you very much for your letter. I'm getting more mail and that is a big help in keeping my spirits up. So far this year has been rough, to say the least. I've lost my wife of 32 years, my business closed on September 1, and my house is being foreclosed and the government is trying to seize it through court action. I'm being hammered from all sides by the "government".

I am being held, since August 11th, 2004, for contempt of court because I will not obey an alleged court order to file 941s and W2s. Back around May 7th, 2004 I had asked the DOJ to certify at (sic) I am an "employer" and a "person". Their response was a call for my arrest for contempt. It seems that the DOJ wants me to "merely follow the law but neglects to tell me what it is. No surprise there but it is amazing to see this nonsense play out in real life. Imagine getting an order to supposedly to (sic) follow the law and then not being able to find out what it is and to whom it applies.

My position is very simple. I will not lie on any forms. If I did fill out the 941s I would have to lie and make false statements. I fear God more than I do the court. So here I am, in the Sacramento County jail not known (sic) when I can be released. This could go on for some time. This is clearly a false arrest and the liability mounts up daily.

In one of our conversations a few months ago, we talked about once we knew the truth, we couldn't go back. This case is a classic battle between the truth and the lie. The government refuses to certify, under the penalty of perjury, by a competent witness that I am an "employer" or a "person".

What is important to note is that the codes are not the law, but they are only evidence of the law. Codes and statutes are two separate things. When I asked the DOJ for statutes they gave me the codes which is not sufficient evidence of the "law".

So, without statutes and substantive regulations, there is no force and effect of law. See Chrysler vs. Brown Supreme Court 1979. In addition we've recently found that: 1. The internal revenue laws were repealed, 2. The seals from the internal revenue service don't match the official seals of the government, and 3. Per treasury orders 150-01 and 150-02 we find that it appears that the IRS offices have been decommissioned.

Think about this a minute. I am expected to file returns on a law that's been repealed. And if per chance I was wrong on the repeal, then why can't the government produce the law? The government refuses to produce the liability. (People can go to my website and read about the repeal at www.thompsonnews.blogspot.com )

That's really nothing new, but it does confirm in my mind that I have done the right thing even at such a high cost to me personally.

I'm certainly not the only one who has suffered great personal loss. Many other who went before me have suffered in their desire to discover the truth. I think about Dick Simkanin everyday. All of us a (sic) prisoners and slaves to this evil called income tax. Until this problem is solved, everyone will live under its bondage.

This is a classic battle between the truth and the lie. My fear God (sic) is the motivation that keeps me going along with the love and appreciation of the truth. If I were to fill out the forms, even with disclaimers, I believe that I would be appeasing just another lie to save myself from [incarceration]. I'm not going to do that. I believe that is wrong and that I would be living just to save my own hide.

The Jail experience here is a bit harsh. We're locked down 22 out of 24 hours. But it has allowed me some spiritual growth I otherwise would not have had. My faith in God, Jesus Christ, and the truth is much stronger than it was, and I know that whatever I will endure is nothing like the wrath of God on whom it will be inflicted. Having a healthy fear of God is wisdom and many of our public officials don't have wisdom. In fact, many want to put the "state" into the position of God. It won't and cannot work.

Thanks for writing Joe, and if you publish this letter please encourage people to write to me and Dick Simkanin.

Best regards,
