Happy National Perjury Day! (from Tessa)

(originally launched into cyberspace on 04/16/2007)

Dear Subscriber,

Today is the day when millions of Americans commit perjury. Most
of them do it by “cheating” on their tax returns, misrepresenting
facts in order to keep more of their hard-earned money, and then
signing, under penalty of perjury, that those facts are true. This
is ultimately good for the government because guilty people are
quiet and subservient, wanting nothing more than to go unnoticed.
If these guilty people include judges, lawyers, and jurors, then so
much the better; the corruption of the justice system only makes
the IRS more invincible.

Others, like me and Larken, commit perjury openly under direct
threat of imprisonment, swearing that our nontaxable income is
taxable. Filing correctly, according to the best of our knowledge
and belief, would land us in jail for a long time. How many
others, I wonder, are swearing that their nontaxable income is
taxable to avoid the trouble that we have experienced? From my
perspective, this does not seem like a bad choice. Why take the
high road when it’s so long, so expensive, so lonely, and in the
end you are betrayed by the very people you set out to save?

I believe there is a very important place for people who want to
avoid trouble, and that place is on juries. Cleverly disguised as
brainwashed sheep, educated people who know the meaning of the
words “reasonable doubt” can get onto juries and aquit people.
Because judges and prosecutors collaborate to misuse the federal
rules of evidence and keep all exculpatory evidence out of court, I
believe that a reasonable doubt exists in every single federal
case. In tax cases, there is also conflict of interest for the
judge and the lawyers on both sides.

Marcie Brooks, the heroine juror in the Whitey Harrell case who
appears the movie “America: Freedom to Fascism,” demonstrates the
power of one juror. I wish that she could have been there for me,
and I wish that I could be there for someone else. But because of
the path I’ve taken, I will never get onto a jury again. I urge
others to accept if they are called. And when you sign that tax
return that you know is a lie, think of yourself as an undercover
agent for freedom.

Saturday's Show

(originally launched into cyberspace on 04/12/2007)

Dear Subscriber,

This Saturday morning, from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. (Eastern time),
I'll be doing a debate-style show with Jonathan Siegel (law
professor at George Washington Univ), whose attempts to refute the
861 evidence I've discussed before. After the show intro, we'll
each have a chance to give a little statement, followed by a debate
segment, followed by fielding questions and comments from anyone
who wants to call in.

The web site of the show is www.GetOnYourSoapBox.com and you can
see their blog set-up, their visitor poll, and other stuff there.
For those unable to listen live on Saturday, I've been told they
also have a podcast at:

http://www.getonyoursoapbox.com/podcast/

The call-in number for the show is (904) 266-1320. I'm hopeful that
this will be one of those very rare opportunities to have a civil,
rational discussion with someone from the "other side."

Sincerely,

Larken Rose

Should be Interesting

(originally launched into cyberspace on 04/09/2007)

Dear Subscriber,

As many of you know, getting anyone from the "other side" to
rationally discuss the 861 evidence has been like pulling teeth.
(They tend to fling out a few assertions, a barrage of insults and
threats, and then refuse discussion.) Well, one of those rare
opportunities will occur this coming Saturday, when I will be
debating Jonathan Siegel, law professor at George Washington
University, regarding the 861 evidence. Here is the web site:

Tune in, and I think you'll see why the other side doesn't usually
invite discussion on the topic.

Sincerely,

Support Our (Other) Troops

(originally launched into cyberspace on 04/06/2007)

Dear Subscriber,

The following was forwarded to me to post to this list. It's from
Dr. Tom.

- ------------------< begin quote >----------------------

Donna and I are overwhelmed by the kind donations and words of
encouragement. It is very hard to have been beat up as we have, but
there are some fundamental issues "cooking" in the appeals court
that will help everyone in the near future. At least, that is what
I hope. I would appreciate letters from anyone, as it makes what I
am going through less lonely. The address is:

FCI Satellite Camp
Tom Clayton, Reg# 06269-078
P.O. Box 629
Bastrop, TX 78603

- -------------------< end quote >-----------------------

(Among other annoying restrictions during my "supervised released,"
I'm not allowed to write to Tom, so I hope you'll all do it for
me.)

Speaking of appeals, in case I haven't mentioned it before, my
appeal was filed many months ago (by a well-known, very competent
attorney), and the back-and-forth motions have all been filed. At
some point (not now) I'll explain the main issues of the appeal, or
maybe post the entire appeal somewhere. For now we just have to
wait for the court to get around to hearing the case, which will be
months from now.

As for Dr. Tom, I think it's time again to all send a little help
his family's way. Even having been on the inside, I know how easy
it is to forget about the political prisoners who are paying the
price for telling the truth. Who wants to think about that? It's
discouraging and frustrating, and it's not like we don't have
expenses and troubles out here, right? We're all trying to make
ends meet. (Tessa and I still have about an $80,000 penalties-and-
interest "end" that needs meeting, which would be bad enough if we
legally OWED it...but I digress.)

If your car needs a $200 repair, you just grumble and pay it,
right? When your washing machine dies completely, you curse it and
then buy another one. We all have lots of unavoidable expenses, and
so things that are optional we often ignore. "I can't afford it."

This morning Tom Clayton woke up in federal prison, as he has done
for many mornings, and will do for many more. I know him, and I
know that today he will wonder how his family is doing, how they
will get by, as he has done for many days, and will do for many
more days. Personally, having been there, I don't consider helping
his family to be an optional expense. It is just one of the costs
of living in a not-so-free country.

Once again Tessa and I will be throwing $100--which we "can't
afford"--their way. Again, $100 isn't worth bragging about. I
mention the amount only to illustrate that $100 is either a whole
lot of money, or hardly any, depending upon how you look at it. If
you ask me, it's hardly any, when used to help out the family of
one of the most principled people I've ever met. If you feel that
way too, then by all mean pay your "political prisoner bill," and
send a donation (made out to "Donna Clayton," not Tom) of whatever
you can afford (or whatever you can't) to the following address:

Donna Clayton
202 N Vesper Bend Circle
The Woodlands, TX 77382

History is full of people who were persecuted for standing up for
the truth, who were later vindicated...a few hundred years later. I
hope (and I expect) that Dr. Tom will be vindicated a lot more
quickly than that, but in the meantime, let's do what we can to
help make things a bit easier on him, whether it be in the form of
words of encouragement to him, financial help for his family, or
both.

Sincerely,

Out with the Old, In with the New

(originally launched into cyberspace on 04/04/2007)

Dear Subscriber,

I have good news and bad news. First, the bad news: the time slot
Peter Mac had for his radio show was recently bought out by someone
else. So he doesn't have his show there anymore (at KCXL out of
Kansas City).

Now, the good news: he already has a new show, at:
www.republicbroadcasting.org

(Note the "Listen Live" link on the upper left corner of the site's
front page.)

Tessa and I will be his guests for his two-hour debut show this
Saturday, 2 to 4 p.m. (Central time). Though Peter is a good friend
of mine, so you might consider this opinion somewhat biased, he is
about the best talk show host I've ever dealt with. He's a smart
dude and well-spoken, knows how to keep things on topic, keeps the
conversation flowing, and keeps things interesting. So even when
I'm NOT on his show (which happens every once in a while), you
should tune in.

Sincerely,

Larken Rose
