Nearly fifty friends and supporters of Ed and Elaine Brown converged on the Brown's Plainfield, New Hampshire home on Saturday, June 23 for a concert hosted by Dave VonKleist, co-host of the increasingly popular radio talk show The Power Hour. The Brown's guests enjoyed grilled cheeseburgers and hotdogs, Italian sandwiches, water and salads.
"I have to give credit where credit is due for this idea," said concert promoter/entertainer VonKleist, "my wife, Joyce had the idea for the concert last Tuesday, then packed me up and sent me on my way. For such short notice, it is really great to see so many people show up and some from so far away!"
Billed as "The Freedom Concert," the show featured many of VonKleist's original politically-oriented tunes - a favorite among Power Hour listeners. His songs about freedom, the Constitution and the corporate oligarchy that has assumed control over the United States were set to an upbeat, self-composed series of soundtracks.
A video feed of the concert was also streamed live over the internet to a world-wide audience via VonKleist's production team.
The concert was promoted via signage placed on the sides of roads in the surrounding area. "We put up twelve signs and had them all torn down," said VonKleist. "Some have said people in the area are scared of the Browns but I've been in town for two days and have talked to many folks and none of them have indicated to me that they're scared."
Ed and Elaine Brown were convicted of federal tax evasion in January, 2007. Because they have found there is no law requiring the filing of a 1040 income tax form and that all U.S. courts are corrupt executors of the government, they did not appear in court for their sentencing, where they were ordered to serve five and a half years in prison. They have remained in their home since April.
Ed Brown has been investigating government corruption, political chicanery and the fraudulently implemented income tax for twenty years. "This isn't an investigation of the Browns by the I.R.S.," said Brown. "This is an investigation of the I.R.S. by the Browns."
"The criminal element in government has gotten so intrusive into our lives that nobody can even breath any longer," said Brown, who chose this battle with the I.R.S. because "the income tax touches every American's life in such a way that they will be able to relate to it."
According to former Illinois Bureau of Revenue investigator Bill Benson, the Constitutional amendment that purportedly authorized an income tax wasn't even properly ratified by the requisite number of states to begin with. In his book, The Law That Never Was, Benson reveals how he traveled to the capitols of every state in the Union that was a state when the 16th amendment - the so-called "Income Tax amendment" was enacted. He combed each state's archives to investigate how or if that amendment was ratified and found that the requisite number of states did not duly ratify it; thereby rendering it null and void.
The Internal Revenue Service is the collection arm of the private, run-for-profit Federal Reserve Bank, which isn't part of the federal government, and has no reserves. The Federal Reserve's system of private, debt-based money was implemented in the winter of 1913, while most Congressmen were home for Christmas break. The Congress ultimately handed full control of our nation's money system over to that private banking cartel comprised of private, international bankers.
In June, 1933, Congress passed House Joint Resolution 192 which abrogated our Constitutional money system of gold and silver coinage and authorized worthless paper bank notes in its place, without any authorizing Constitutional amendment.
