FBI Plans Initiative To Profile Terrorists
Potential Targets Get Risk Rating

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/07/10/AR2007071001871.html

From the piece, “After STAR has received the names of persons of interest, it runs them through an FBI "data mart" that includes classified and unclassified information from the government, airlines and commercial data brokers such as ChoicePoint. Then it runs them through the terrorist screening center database, which contains hundreds of thousands of names, as well as through a database containing information on non-citizens who enter the country. It also runs the names against information provided by data broker Accurint, which tracks addresses, phone numbers and driver's licenses.”

JPFO ALERT: OSHA Regs Backdoor for UN

Many of our supporters have contacted us about the
recently-proposed regulations by OSHA which would put most
-- if not all -- ammunition manufacturers out of business.
You can read the proposed regulations in PDF format here:

http://www.nationalgunrights.org/FedReg041307.pdf

Why would the Occupational Safety and Health Administration
be concerned with regulating ammunition? It appears that
this move by unelected bureaucrats is an attempt to
"harmonize" federal regulations with those of the United
Nations, that enemy of gun owners everywhere. That's right
-- YOUR confiscated tax dollars are being used to fund the
destruction of the Second Amendment.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) will publish a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to revise the Explosives and Blasting Agents standard in the April 13, 2007 Federal Register. The proposed rule aims to enhance the protections provided to employees working in the manufacturing, storage, sale, transportation, handling, and use of explosives. The agency is accepting public comments on the proposed standard until July 12, 2007.

Yet even now, federal law enforcement agents raid the homes of terminally ill patients who use marijuana for relief from suffering in states where medical marijuana use is permitted. These federal raids have become an issue in the 2008 presidential race as candidates have been asked to take a position. A summary is available on the Marijuana Policy Project Web site (mpp.org).
Beyond the medical issue is the practical question of criminalizing otherwise good citizens for consuming a nontoxic substance -- described by the British medical journal Lancet as less harmful to health than alcohol or tobacco -- at great economic and social cost. Each year, more than 700,000 people are arrested for marijuana-related offenses at a cost of more than $7 billion, according to the Marijuana Policy Project.

For years, the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum led a crusade to release the world's most secret and voluminous collection of Nazi-era documents, the International Tracing Service records, held at Bad Arolsen, Germany. Now digitized copies of the documents are entering designated archives in nations that control the records. In the United States, the museum is the designated recipient.
Yet the very people the museum was trying to help - Holocaust survivors who want access to the documents to learn the fate of relatives and friends - are outraged. Their grass-roots organizations are vociferously fighting the museum for remote access to the precious information that was nearly inaccessible for decades.

John Adams warned the distresses and confusions arising in America are more from "the downright ignorance of coin, credit and circulation" than any defects in the Constitution. Thomas Jefferson saw the banking institutions as most dangerous to our liberties and cautioned against public debt.
We now have catastrophic public debt and our money has been issued by banking institutions since 1913. Those institutions brought us to bankruptcy, which brought about the use of executive orders. Those executive orders, giving power to one, a few or many are what James Madison saw as "the very definition of tyranny."

Leaked news of the rescue plan comes amid growing alarm among political leaders in the region at the near total collapse of the formal economy in Zimbabwe. Witnesses interviewed from Harare yesterday said armed riot police were storming retail outlets and stores around major cities and towns, and forcing businesses to slash prices by half, sometimes at gun point. Representatives of a South African company listed on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange are believed to have had an emergency meeting with the South African President Thabo Mbeki to plead for intervention.

It is for this reason that those fleeing religious persecution in the last three centuries fled to America. This is why the founding fathers established the United States as a secular Constitutional Republic and not a theocracy.

"Christ 'established here on earth' only one church," said the document, reasserting the primacy of Catholicism.

Rosenthal said when he tried to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer, he was told he could not because he was not a resident of New Hampshire. Bailey and Rosenthal then explained how they brought a New Hampshire resident with them, supposedly a prison guard, who was able to pass the background checks and purchase the gun for them. Bailey acknowledged the Globe paid the bill.
"Unfortunately, the person most vocal in Massachusetts about increasing the restrictions on lawful gun ownership has himself committed a gun crime and will most likely never be prosecuted for it," said Gun Owners Action League in a statement reacting to the disclosure. "This is yet another example of the great hypocrisy from the anti-civil rights elite."

Mayor Jim Naugle took another swipe at gays Tuesday, attacking a request that the Stonewall gay and lesbian book archive be housed on city property.
The tiff over the adult book collection brought to City Hall a war that started last week between Naugle and gays in the city. Naugle's comments about gays, published last week in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, touched off a fierce controversy. In recent days, e-mails spilled into City Hall demanding that Naugle be rebuked and that he publicly apologize.

Transcript of Hauert:

Patriots: Please keep this going: Hauert was indicted on five counts Se. 7203 WILLFUL FAILURE etc. Hauert wanted to know the OFFENCE statute he was accused of violating and would be pleading guilty to. He wanted to know the particular statute that made him the person required to pay the income tax.
His attorney (addressing the judge) "The prosecution has been trying to get my client to plea bargain. My client is interested but has a few demands of the prosecution in order to understand the charges and determine the potential guilt. He has a serious question that nobody will address. Will the court entertain that question?"
Judge: "Certainly."
Hauert: "Your honor, Section 7203 of the I.R. Code is a DIS-CIPLINARY STATUTE. It defines the penalty for someone who has broken the law. I need to know the underlying offense statute that is used to determine if I am the "any person" required to file. The term "any person" is ambiguous.
Judge: "I don't know what he is asking for,(Looking at Prosecutor) Do you know what he's asking for?"
Prosecutor: "No, your honor, I don't know what he's asking for either."
Judge: "I am not knowledgeable of every law and can't be."
(Hey, isn't he presumed to to know the law?)
Hauert: Could you please bring me the I.R. Code book with 7203 in it so I can show you what I am talking about. (note: the clerk brought in the I.R. Code book.)
Judge: (Reading Sec. 7203) " Any person required under this title to pay any estimated tax or tax, or required by this title or by regulations made under authority thereof to make a return, keep any records, or supply any information, who willfully fails to pay such estimated tax or tax, make such return..."
Judge: "Sounds clear to me."
Note: (In the words of Hauert) "I looked at the prosecuting attorney and criminal investigator looking business-like and smiling confidently and I thought, these suckers have gotten to the judge."
Hauert: "May I see the book? (Reading) any person required by this Title...What I am asking is, what statute establishes the FACT that I am one of these "persons" required, by this title, to pay the tax? Where, exactly, in the Title is the offense defined, where am I made the subject of the tax?"
Note: (In the words of Hauert: "I then handed the judge back the book. Looking perplexed, the judge read those words over and over again for what felt like an eternity.")
Judge: "So what you're asking for, Mr. Hauert, is the Statute, referred to in Section 7203, that makes a person liable for the tax and subject to the penalties imposed by Section 7203?"
Hauert: "Yes, that's what I have been asking the prosecutor for. I have also been asking the IRS the same question for several years and no one will give me the Statute of law that I am accused of breaking."
Note: In one sentence that would destroy the government's entire case,
Judge: "No problem, Mr. Prosecutor, I'm sure that you can provide a copy of that statute."
Prosecutor: (Stammering and stuttering) "Um, oh… I'm...uh…not familiar with…uh…that part of the code." (With that, the Prosecutor lost his business like composure and the case was concluded. The prosecutor was ordered to find someone who knew which statute defined the offense.)
Hauert's attorney then requested a Bill of Particulars, defining the specific offense statute that created the liability for Hauert to pay the income tax and file a 1040 Tax Return. A Bill of Particulars is a written statement of the SPECIFIC CHARGES against the defendant. This switched the burden of proof back to the government to provide such a statute. After an extended period of time, the prosecution still could not supply the court with the offense statute or regulation that made Tom Hauert (or any American Citizen) the person made liable to pay the S.1 graduated Income Tax (because no such statute exists). Hauert, therefore, filed for and was granted a dismissal!
