Re: IRS Agent Joe Banister Acquitted !!!
What they are not telling you is that its not a constitutional issue. They have tricked you into signing contracts with them to pay taxes. So when you get to tax court they will say the constitution has no standing. Contract law supersedes the constitution when a contract is in force.

You might ask, what contracts. The big one is your bank account signature card. Another one is your voter registration card. SS card also. With draw from these contracts and then you are not committed to paying income tax. rken


You're correct, rken. And there are things we can do. Like on the voter registration card, where it asks, "Are you a U.S. Citizen?", strike a line through "U.S. Citizen" and write, "American citizen of <state>", THEN check YES. I did that and the county clerk accepted it just fine. The IRS would have a hard time using that to prove I'm a U.S. Corporate Citizen. Did the same thing with my bank signature card.

Excellent! Remember to control your signature and restrict your endorsements on your deposits and withdrawals on any accounts, too!

Yippee!

labor is an equal exchange for money
it is barter
it is not profit
only corporations are supposed to pay taxes
because they take your labor and turn it into money for them
they make a profit on your labor

Yippee!

That is why the statement of live birth is required to be signed by parents before they can take their child home.
The name is thusly appropriated from the child and is incorporated by the state/province.
The trick is getting the animals to "identify" with the issued name which has been duly registered.

Sherry Peel Jackson.

Same story. Same charges.

Serving hard time in ATL right now.

The outcome basically falls on the jury. He had a better one than her. The courts are rigged. The 'case' is presented on assumption that laws were broken.

If the jury is not astute enough to request the actual law for review, then the defendant will lose.

You are welcome :) it should be noted, people have been redeeming lawful money and even stamping:

Redeemed lawful money per 12-USC 411

on the backs of Federal Reserve Notes. Your bank will even assist you in recording the serial numbers of redeemed FRNs if you have to have proof of payment in lawful money. The teller will write the serial numbers of the notes on the withdrawal receipt if you ask them too.

I have personally used redeemed lawful money to mail things, and asked the clerk at the Post office to write on the receipt "paid in lawful money" and initial it, they have done it without even a question.

US Postage stamps with a CENT or Dollar value on them (not the forever stamps) are Lawful money as well, so it seems most postal clerks know something about lawful money.

BTW, the reason everyone who files a 1040 gets and automatic $1000 tax credit is because u.S. Coins are not taxable income, so they just assume everyone uses $1000 in change every year.

Lawful money is seen as "non-taxable income" why? Because it is not private property of the Federal Reserve. If you endorsethe use of a private companies property (in this case Federal Reserve notes or credit) you lawfully owe them a FEE for its use! In this case, the FEE is a % of how much of their product you voluntarily endorse.

That is why the tax is legal, lawful and VOLUNTARY!

Stop using their product and you will not owe them a use fee.

Re: IRS Agent Joe Banister Acquitted !!!
The contractual agreement with the Federal Reserve is between Congress and the Federal Reserve.

Congress nor the Federal Reserve cannot compel anyone to be a party to that contract.

When you do not control your signature endorsement, you voluntarily subject your labor and income to help pay the debt the contract between Congress (the US Corporation) and the Federal Reserve (another Corporation) produces.

Congress has no power to make paper money, they do have the right, however, in the name of the US Corporation, to
contract with another company to supply private credit and currency, the Federal Reserve.

We, as people, have the right to contract as well, with congress and the Federal Reserve to use that private currency and we do, every time we sign on the dotted line without restricting that endorsement to lawful money.

The presumption is, if you do not reserve your right to lawful money, you are and have used private currency of the Federal reserve and therefore, you owe them a fee.

It is immoral. Personal income from the sweat off one's back, cannot be taxed, as it is personal property. Corporate income IS taxable, and business income of any sort if there are profits is taxable etc. Income taxation is slavery. People do not know how to read the fine print that Joe and others have provided and no courage anyway. There are legal ways to get around it, but making your families corporations in the state of Nevada etc too, which creates a situation most of the time, of no tax because the personal corporation doesn't usually have much profit.

Demand and record your demand for lawful money and there is nothing to bring charges for.

"Federal reserve notes, to be issued at the discretion of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System for the purpose of making advances to Federal reserve banks through the Federal reserve agents as hereinafter set forth and for no other purpose, are authorized. The said notes shall be obligations of the United States and shall be receivable by all national and member banks and Federal reserve banks and for all taxes, customs, and other public dues. They shall be redeemed in lawful money on demand at the Treasury Department of the United States, in the city of Washington, District of Columbia, or at any Federal Reserve bank."

It is their law, after all. What can they do if you have demanded and redeemed your Federal Reserve Credit for lawful money?

There nothing they can do and you will never get in front of a Judge or a Jury, because the remedy is in the law.

Do not use their product, demand lawful money of the united States at your bank in the form of redeemed Federal Reserve Notes and you do not owe them a fee.

NOTICE: FRNs serve as lawful money UPON DEMAND, the bank will not give you any other kind of money (US Bank Notes, Gold or silver Certificates or stamps or uS Postal money orders, so do not ask) many have tried.

Since the late 1970s, the banks do not circulate US Bank notes (with red seals and serial numbers) Federal reserve notes serve just fine, once the demand is recorded on all deposits and withdrawals, its all the proof you will need.

Your claim that it is immoral and a scam is not true. Remember, all US Citizens ARE Corporations (persons). So, if you do not act like a free man and demand your lawful right to lawful money, the government presumes you are a person (corporation) and using their source for credit and currency, which, by contract, is the FEDERAL RESERVE.

You can try to fight it, but it is very basic contract law do not contract with them with your signature and endorsement and you will owe them nothing.

He won this case by jury nullification, not because he did not break the law, because, clearly, he did.

He did not demand his lawful right to lawful money of the united States, he used the private property of the Federal Reserve then refused to pay them a fee for it.

Just because the jury did not find him guilty, does not mean he did not commit a crime.

Do not think another jury would not have found him guilty, demand your redemption of lawful money and be done with them.

Re: IRS Agent Joe Banister Acquitted !!!
This case was years ago.
Why does this keep popping up all over the net now?

I'm not sure why, but you are absolutely right...this is an old case. The Wikipedia post the original OP cited was incorrect and has since been removed from Wikipedia.

Folks should also take notice that Banister was not acquitted of failing to pay income taxes, nor was the question of the legality of the income tax a subject of the trial. Banister was acquitted of conspiracy...nothing more. The prosecution's case was horrible, if memory serves me correctly. The man who Banister was accused of conspiring with was convicted for failing to pay his company's income taxes. Not only is this case more than five years old, but it was not about what most people think. You must do your homework, folks. Look closely at websites trying to revive this story...they never cite an original source for the news.
