It is in the light of this history and with regard to the Pride that the Texas Rangers have in the work that they do, that this Criminal Complaint is filed with the Texas Rangers.

and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms. CHARGES: MAIL FRAUD, WIRE FRAUD, RICO STATUTE VIOLATIONS, CONSPIRACY, EXTORTION, COERCION, CONVERSION, COLLUSION, DENIAL OF DUE PROCESS, DENIAL OF EQUALITY UNDER THE LAW, AND THEFT WITH INTENT
An Organization known as the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) also known as the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (BATF) has been and is perpetrating crimes of immense proportion upon the People and the Property of Texas.
The IRS/BATF is not an entity that is registered to do business in the STATE OF TEXAS or the dejure Republic of Texas.
The IRS/BATF is not an entity that was created by the Legislature of ANY country, but merely a private corporation within Puerto Rico Trust #62.
The IRS/BATF is not an entity with any lawful or legal authority to operate upon the soil of Texas and are, by DECEPTION and FRAUD, extorting vast sums of money and property from the People of Texas and creating a condition of INVOLUNTARY SERVITUDE for the People of Texas.
This Criminal Complaint is supported by a document entitled "Memorandum in Support of Criminal Complaint" by Dan Meador. (Exhibit "A")
A Republic of Texas Citizen's Grand Jury was impaneled on February 26, 27 and 28, 1996 in the City of Austin and heard evidence to the charges made herein from researchers and witnesses. The Grand Jury issued a True Bill of Indictment on February 28, 1996 pursuant to consideration of the evidence presented to them. (Exhibit "B")
On March 18, 1996 an estimated seven hundred people of Texas marched from the Capitol in Austin to the US Federal Building on 8th St. where the IRS Director of the STATE OF TEXAS was served with a true and correct copy of the Criminal Indictment issued by the Grand Jury and a NOTICE TO VACATE the soil of Texas within 30 days of service. (Exhibit "B")
The Consul General of the Republic of Texas Provisional Government, Lewis Ray Daniel, Noticed the Commissioner of the IRS, Charles O. Rossotti, of Lack of Authority on July 22, 1998. (Exhibit "C")
The Consul General of the Republic of Texas Provisional Government, Lewis Ray Daniel, Noticed the Commissioner of the IRS, Charles O. Rossotti, of Default Nihil Dicit on September 8, 1998. (Exhibit "C")
On September 30, 1998 final Affidavit of fact and law informing Rossotti and the IRS of the fact that they had affirmed without dispute and confessed by acquiescence confirming the facts set forth in the Notice of Lack of Authority; Proving conclusively that the IRS acts are totally void of lawful or legal authority. (Exhibit "C")
This Criminal Complaint is supported by a document entitled "An Investigation of the Federal Income Tax" by Joseph Bannister. (Exhibit "D")
A Public Judicial Notice was placed in many publications, all parties being notified including, but not limited to, the White House, the Department of the Treasury, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the United States Postal Service, the Internal Revenue Service, the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms, the Pentagon, the Defense Advance Research Projects Agency (DARPA), United States Military Installations across the United States effectively noticing all parties to this DECEPTION and FRAUD. (Exhibit "E")
The referenced exhibits establish the fact that the "Income Tax" is purely voluntary, yet it is common knowledge that the IRS/BATF forcibly enforce compliance upon those who choose not to volunteer, and they continue to engage in a campaign of deceit to avoid full disclosure of the true facts to the People of Texas.
The IRS/BATF continue their illegal and unlawful operation in Texas to this day and their acts have gone unabated with no sign of cessation of their DECEPTION, FRAUD and OTHER CRIMES evidenced by the forcible taking of the substance and property of the People of Texas.
The CORPORATION COURT SYSTEMS that exist and operate on the soil of Texas have left all People of Texas with no redress of grievances or method of protection against the FRAUD, DECEPTION, and THEFT being perpetrated by the IRS/BATF.
Therefore, it is expected that the Honorable Texas Rangers, living up to their reputation as recorded in history, will investigate the charges of DECEPTION, FRAUD, MAIL FRAUD, EXTORTION BY COERCION and other crimes being committed by the Private Corporation, Internal Revenue Service, AKA Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, & Firearms.
Upon positive support from the Texas Rangers regarding this complaint affidavits will be provided by the people of Texas who have suffered from the abuses and been harmed by violations perpetrated by the IRS/BATF.
We respectfully request a written response within 15 days to this Criminal Complaint with regard to your intentions in this matter.
Notice to the Principal is Notice to the Agent, Notice to the Agent is Notice to the Principal.

NO LAW THAT REQUIRES ANY AMERICAN TO FILE AND PAY INCOME TAX!

BILL BENSON

Joseph R. Banister, Special Agent of the IRS finds
NO LAW THAT REQUIRES ANY AMERICAN TO FILE AND PAY INCOME TAX! Where: At the Freedom law School's Freedom Rally www.freedomlaw.org to be held at

Sheraton Hotel in Newport Beach, California on March 13-14th, Mr. Banister will share his findings and Report with the American People.
To: All Freedom Loving Americans
Date: February 25, 1999
From: Peymon Mottahedeh, President Freedom Law School
Dear Fellow American,
Over the last 14 months, Freedom Law School along with Bill Conklin, Free Enterprise Society, Attorney Larry Becraft, Devvy Kidd and Bill Benson have been in communication with Joseph R. Banister, who is a Special Agent (Criminal Investigation Division) of the IRS in San Jose, California, and educated Mr. Banister as to how and why there is NO LAW THAT REQUIRES ANY AMERICAN TO FILE AND PAY INCOME TAX!
Mr. Banister with his own time and money has verified that:

1) There is NO federal STATUTE (law written by Congress of the United States) which REQUIRES ANY AMERICAN TO FILE AND PAY INCOME TAX.
2) The 16th (the INCOME TAX) AMENDMENT of the U.S. Constitution, which was NOT PROPERLY RATIFIED INTO THE U.S. CONSTITUTION.
3) The U.S. Government operates NOT by revenues from the Income Tax, but by borrowing MONEY, which has been CREATED OUT OF THIN AIR, from the Federal Reserve Banks.

At the bottom of this message you will find a copy of the E-Mail which Mr. Banister sent me. Mr. Banister had written a 90 page report of his investigation of the Income Tax on February 11, 1999. This report is fully backed up by references to the U.S. Constitution, the IRS Code, Internal Revenue Manuals and court cases.
Mr. Banister presented this 90 page report to his superiors and asked them to present it to the highest ranks of the IRS, up to and including the Commissioner of IRS, Mr. Charles O. Rossotti. Mr. Banister informed the IRS leadership that unless they could point-by-point refute his findings, Mr. Banister would resign from his position INSTEAD OF ENFORCING A NON-EXISTENT LAW!
Apparently the Commissioner of IRS, Mr. Charles O. Rossotti and the high level officials of the IRS, who each have taken an oath to "uphold and defend the U.S. Constitution from all enemies, foreign or domestic", have VOLUNTARILY chosen to COMMIT TREASON on the American People by refusing to review and consider the findings of Mr. Banister, which squarely challenged the lawful basis of the IRS enforcing a NON-EXISTENT and VOLUNTARY INCOME TAX on the American people by use of VIOLENT FORCE!!!
On February 17, Mr. Banister was called into his Chief's office. Mr Banister was informed that his report had been reviewed "by the highest levels of the IRS". Mr. Banister was given a memorandum which in part read: "The Internal Revenue Service will not be responding to your request and will provide you with the necessary paperwork to tender your resignation. You will be placed on administrative leave effective upon receipt of this memorandum for a period of seven calendar days to consider what actions you wish to take."
Today, February 25, 1999, the anniversary of the alleged ratification of the 16th (income tax) Amendment, Mr. Banister resigned from the IRS so that he may freely and fully inform the American people of his findings regarding the income tax and the U.S. Government.
Mr. Banister will be appearing at Freedom Law School's 1999 Freedom Rally on March 13-14th, at Sheraton Hotel (949)833-0570, 4545 Mac Arthur Blvd, Newport Beach, California to share his findings and release his report: "INVESTIGATING THE INCOME TAX: A PRELIMINARY REPORT" to the American People.
To find out the latest developments and findings of Mr. Banister you may contact Freedom Law School at www.freedomlaw.org freedomlaw@home.com. You may also call us at (714)838-2896. However, since we have limited number of phone lines and staff, please use our web-site and E-Mail whenever possible.

"All that is needed for Evil to conquer, is for good men to do nothing!"
"The price of liberty is eternal vigilance."
"If not now, when?"
"If it's to be, it's up to me." We at Freedom Law School encourage you to investigate this Report of Mr. Banister regarding the Income Tax and the U.S. Government, and let your local IRS agents/officials, Congressmen, Senators and President know what you want them to DO in response to Mr. Banister's Report. You can find the E-Mail and phone number of your congressmen at www.house.gov.

Please share this message with the Freedom Loving American People.
**Below is the full text of Mr. Banister's E-Mail to Freedom Law School** Dear Friends:
Well, the day of reckoning has arrived. On February 11, 1999, in my capacity as a Special Agent and federal law enforcement officer sworn to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, I submitted a "preliminary report" to the Chief of the IRS Criminal Investigation Division for the Central California District. My report summarized my findings regarding allegations that the income tax and filing of federal income tax returns is voluntary, that the 16th Amendment was never ratified, and that income taxes are not used to pay for daily government operations.
In order to ensure that unnecessary and unwarranted delay would not occur, I requested that my report be forwarded to top officials in the IRS up to and including Commissioner Charles O. Rossotti, and I respectfully requested that the Commissioner or his designee respond to the evidence in my report within 30 days. Today, my Chief called me into his office and gave me a memorandum. The memorandum dated February 17th, 1999, read in part:
"The Internal Revenue Service will not be responding to your request and will provide you with the necessary paperwork to tender your resignation. You will be placed on administrative leave effective upon receipt of this memorandum for a period of seven calendar days to consider what actions you wish to take."
I was told that officials at the highest levels of the Internal Revenue Service were consulted regarding a response to my report. Apparently, I have now joined the ranks of every other taxpayer who ever was ignored or otherwise rebuffed by the Internal Revenue Service when they petitioned the IRS for a reasonable explanation. The only conclusion that I can reach is that those officials thought it was better to rebuff my request and pass up a golden opportunity to prove my research wrong than to have to admit that so-called "tax-protesters" and other supporters of the U.S. Constitution have been right all along. Ironically, had the IRS taken the time to address my concerns, or perhaps perform the simple task of proving the allegations wrong, I would have gladly been their spokesman advising taxpayers not to fall for these untrue allegations for the rest of my career.
As the memorandum states, I have until Friday, February 26th, 1999, the day after the 86th anniversary of the alleged ratification of the 16th Amendment, to tender my resignation. This is certainly a sad day in my life. Although I was hoping for a better result, I learned today after over two years of investigation that the Internal Revenue Service is everything that the so-called "tax protesters" said it was; non-responsive, unable to withstand scrutiny, tyrannical, and agency oblivious to the rule of law and the U.S. Constitution.
May God help us all.
Joseph R. Banister
