Yeah...it's pretty fuckin' pointless. Tantamount to proving a guy pointing a gun at you is actually pointing a gun at you, TO the guy pointing the gun at you. -TD

This is an interesting trial. Men with guns.

Tessa and Larken Rose may be sent to jail.

Watch 3 min. - video - http://www.861.info/tessa.html

Trial starts July 11th. There is a petition to encourage that it be videotaped.

While anyone can empathize with their desire not to pay taxes and many of us can even disagree with the moral justification for taxes, these people are idiots. Their entire case boils down to quibbles over arguably poorly worded regulations. And even if you take their argument at face value, if you go read the sections of the Code of Federal Regulations they cite, they're just plain wrong: they're willfully misreading the plain language of the regulations. (Okay, "plain language" is probably not the right phrase to apply to any part of the CFR, but...)

They're definitely going down; probably to jail, but at the least they'll be subject to massive fines, property seizures, etc.

"Nothing to see here, folks; move along."
