I AM KEENLY AWARE OF THE HISTORY OF SLAVERY.

My name is Sherry Peel Jackson. I became a Certified Public Accountant in 1987, I was an Internal Revenue Agent in the Atlanta District for 7 years, and I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 2001. I am here to summarize the tales of ignorance and deception that you have heard over the last two days and I am here to inform you of the state of the nation so that you may choose your next course of action.

You have heard the truth of how the Internal Revenue Service, Department of Justice, Federal Reserve and politicians have perpetuated this smoke and mirrors - dog and pony show on you the American people for over 88 years. You have heard of American families devastated by the invasion of privacy and unbridled fear placed upon them through threats of liens, levy's and even jail time. In my tenure as an IRS agent, I personally saw marriages broken, families torn apart, homes confiscated and businesses destroyed - all while my colleagues and I were out making unjust demands on the American people - without the proper authority. Now, you be the judge.

You have seen that Commissioner Charles Rosatti, Dan Bryant, the majority of our congressional delegation and other civil servants have refused to do their jobs. It would have been as simple as answering the questions of these well-educated researchers in a public forum, such as this one. But they have reneged, so you be the judge.

You have learned that the Constitution of the United States of America has been trampled on and ignored through allowing the privately owned Federal Reserve to create paper currency and charge you 47 million dollars in interest per hour - money coming from the mouths of your children and the college education funds of your grandchildren, all the while the children and grandchildren of the owners of the Federal Reserve will never have to work a day in their lives, and that is wrong, on so many different levels.

And let me tell you, that as a black woman I am keenly aware of the history of slavery. But do you understand that we are all slaves to this system? Do you understand that the media and Hollywood play a part keeping the American people so fixated on Alley McBeal, WWF Smackdown, Moeisha and the Practice that we don't take time to read the Creature from Jekyll Island, study the Internal Revenue Code and learn the Constitution?

Now, let me spend just a minute to address my culture. Do you realize that the so called black leaders make millions of dollars every year playing the "us against them" role - keeping blacks focused on the race card and away from the real issue - the theft of our future through taxation.

These publicity mongers are well aware of the oppression brought on by income taxation, they love to march on Washington about racial profiling and civil rights, not to say that these are not real problems, but these leaders have been too afraid to approach the powers that be and have a million man, woman, boy, girl march about economic freedom from income taxation and restoration of constitutional rights.

Also, there's been a lot of talk about reparations lately, but know this: If all Americans were able to keep the money withheld from their paychecks every year, that money would enable them to home school, start their own business and boost the economy, save for college and retirement, even buy that 40 acres and a mule. So, you be the judge.

You need to understand that with an Internal Revenue Code, Code of Federal Regulations, and other "official documents" spouting off several different definitions of United States, Internal Revenue Service and other important terms, this deception that keeps people ignorant is not a coincidence. The writers of the Code used semantics and legalese to make us think that we are required to pay the income tax and file an income tax return. Former IRS commissioner Shirley Peterson even stated that, and I quote, "Eight decades of amendments….to (the) code have produced a virtually impenetrable maze….The rules are unintelligible to most citizens….The rules are equally mysterious to many government employees who are charged with administering and enforcing the law." End quote.

This fraud was strung together by people like the former president that said "it depends on what your definition of is is" and "it depends on what your definition of sex is". This incident showed us that definitions are very important to politicians and lawyers, and no word is meaningless. For example, it does depend on what the definition of "source" is.

The opposition, in an attempt to keep the sheeple in the flock, will scoff at us and encourage unaware Americans to ridicule those of us who have been informed, saying, "these people just don't want to pay their fair share." We have already learned from a speech by former Federal Reserve Chairman Beardsley Rhuml that this country doesn't need income taxes for revenue. This money collected from our sweat and tears is used to perpetuate redistribution of wealth, among other things. But the powers that be keep beating the people over the head with this "fair share' garbage. Well, what is fair share? Haven't the families of the victims in New York City and the pentagon paid their fair share? Haven't the men and women that lost sons and daughters, husbands in wives in Vietnam, Korea and the other battles paid their fair share? So you see, this tactic to pit those that are uninformed of the income tax fraud against those who have seen the light is baseless and must be eliminated!

The opposition also uses our religious faith to twist the meaning of authority and to create unjust statutes. People, I know godly authority and our current system does not reflect godly authority. Many of our past and present religious leaders have been jailed for questioning authority. They have been beaten, starved and even killed for their faith and their defiance of injustice. People of America - is what you're living for worth dying for? Are you willing to take a stand? It's your choice.

The creators of this Creature called the income tax, engineered their system to manipulate you into staying in your comfort zones. With a little bit of patriotism and a little bit of fear tactic mixed into a pot of inflation and deflation, they have been able to keep the people confused, intimidated and obedient for over 88 years.

But now the truth about the fraudulent origin and operations of the Federal Reserve System and the Internal Revenue Service have been revealed to the American people. You can no longer claim ignorance of the truth. You must acknowledge it or reject it. The choice is yours. And the consequences of your decision will rest on the shoulders of your children and future generations of Americans.

You can remain an informed slave or you can get off of the plantation. You can remain engrossed in fear, or you can take a stand like Patrick Henry who shouted "give me liberty or give me death." You can stay hypnotized by "As The World Turns" and "The Guiding Light", or you can turn off the bube tube and read the Constitution, then go ask your elected representatives why they refuse to follow it. Remember that those elected representatives have sworn to uphold and defend our constitution.

Remember that each of our elected representatives has pledged to serve our country first-not a political party, or certain privileged and special interests groups-but you, the American People. They are our public servants.

In closing, we have shown you the truth. Now, for the sake of our Country and our children, we ask you to choose justice over injustice, unity over division, courage over fear, truth over ignorance, and liberty over economic slavery.

We ask you to stand with us and let the voice of freedom be heard from every corner of our great country. It is time to end this long-standing injustice and tyranny over the American People.

___PRESS RELEASE___

Judge Refuses to Dismiss Tax Payer
Lawsuit Against Bank of America

Irwin Schiff who is regarded by many as being the Nation's leading authority on the income tax is suing the Bank of America for triple damages for turning over approximately $8,000 of his money to the IRS in response to a Notice a Levy. Third parties, such as banks and employers, that turn over bank accounts and wages to the IRS in response to IRS Notices of Levy are used to having suits brought against them for doing so summarily dismissed. That was not the case on November 13, 2001 in Clark County District Court, Las Vegas, Nevada. All:

I do not know who made the press release. I am posting simply for the FYI of all reading the thread. In deference to the geezer and others I have removed the "pitch" info which appeared at the end of the press release.

Judge Earl refused to grant the Bank of America's motion to dismiss this lawsuit. In his lawsuit, Schiff claimed that James Gritis the IRS agent who sent the Notice of Levy had no authority to do so. Schiff pointed out, to the surprise of the Court, that federal law does not give the IRS authority to seize property in payment of income taxes.

Holding up the Internal Revenue Code to the bench, Schiff said. "If you can show me in this Internal Revenue Code where it gives the IRS any authority to seize property, I'll withdraw my lawsuit." Judge Earl declined Schiff's offer. Schiff claimed that by turning over his money pursuant to a Notice of Levy - the Bank of America violated both federal and Nevada law.

The money at issue is based on traditional returns Schiff was coerced into filing during a 1990 probation hearing and has nothing to do with years in which he has filed his popular "zero" return - as explained in his latest book, The Federal Mafia: How the Government Illegally Imposes and Collect Income Taxes. The "zero" return allows taxpayers to file 1040's, reporting "zero" income (regardless of how much money they might have earned for that year) and even claim a refund of all the income taxes they might have paid in that year.

Schiff believes that by winning this lawsuit and collecting triple damages as a result of the Bank's negligence, he will put an end to the IRS' ability to extort billions from the American public with these fraudulent notices. "The only reason that the IRS has been able to get away with it, is because of the culpability of America's lawyers, who allow the IRS to do it." While Schiff is not a lawyer, he has over 500,000 books in circulation on the income tax and related subject.

Numerous students of Mr. Schiff filled the Courtroom, including some who came from out of State to witness the proceedings. Case No. A- 440323. Irwin Schiff v. Bank of America. Clark County District Court. Department 19. 200 South Third Street. Las Vegas, NV. 89101

"Americans are forcibly and illegally being kept from their God-given right to liberty; what are you doing to correct this situation? Oh I know, you don't have the time to get involved because you are working so hard to make enough money to support your family in the lifestyle to which they have become accustomed, and you wouldn't do anything that might upset that lifestyle, right?!” -—Brent Johnson

Clark County District Court, Las Vegas, Nevada.

A suit against the Bank from the looks of it, probably for not exercising due investigation into the Schiff's claims as a fiduciary duty to the account holder.

The bank will contest, if it loses it may just quit and pay damages and not appeal as too costly to fight further.

It would be interesting to see a bank lose at County Court, and carry through to the Federal appellate level, arguing federal rulings such as:

295 U.S. 247 (1935)

" A serious and difficult issue is raised by the claim that the same receipt has been made the basis of both income and estate tax, although the item cannot in the circumstances be both income and corpus; and that the alternative prayer of the petition required the court to render a judgment which would redress the illegality and injustice resulting from the erroneous inclusion of the sum in the gross estate for estate tax. The respondent presents two arguments in opposition, one addressed to the merits and the other to the bar of the statute of limitations."
", the usual procedure for the recovery of debts is reversed in the field of taxation. Payment precedes defense, and the burden of proof, normally on the claimant, is shifted to the taxpayer. The assessment supersedes the pleading, proof, and judgment necessary in an action at law, and has the force of such a judgment. The ordinary defendant stands in judgment only after a hearing. The taxpayer often is afforded his hearing after judgment and after payment, and his only redress for unjust administrative action is the right to claim restitution. But these reversals of the normal process of collecting a claim cannot obscure the fact that after all what is being accomplished is the recovery of a just debt owed the sovereign."

regarding federal tax law which apply to the issue by the supremecy clause, not the local views of commercial distraint and levy procedures.

In anycase such is not a victory over the IRS, it is a question of a Bank's due diligence at the County Court's level.

This kind of case is one of Erwin Schiff's stock in trade. Unfortunately Doesn't do a thing to get anyone out of paying federal taxes, in fact may provide the fodder for federal willful failure to pay charges in Federal Courts.
