There is no explanation of how the 'lien' arose, not a recital of any legal action pending or concluded against the named parties. Tax protestors apparently obtain the names and addresses of the employees of the IRS and other federal employees and file these 'liens' out of spite.... The so-called liens are of course invalid and of no legal force or effect. However, they are used ... to harass IRS employees and deter them from enforcing the tax laws."); (liens and "posse comitatus common law great charter") US v.

You will comply .. and rectify the lien claimant's problem or you will lose your property." Nullified on the motion of the govt, "it is a power that has no mooring in either federal or state law.

Barker (SD Ga 1998) 19 F.Supp.2d 1380 ("neither federal nor state law provides that a citizen may file a lien on the property of a public official for alleged wrongs committed by that official against the citizen without the existence of a judgment in the citizen's favors. The citizen must first take his grievance to court ...."; that these documents are titled "Non-statutory, non-judicial, non-summary-disposable UCC commercial paper/liens" practically admits that they are baseless);
