Actor Wesley Snipes must reimburse government for prosecution costs

Actor Wesley Snipes must reimburse the government for the cost of prosecuting him.
U.S. District Court Judge William Terrell Hodges rejected the actor’s arguments that U.S. attorneys were billing him for expenses they incurred prosecuting the tax crimes of Snipes’ co-defendants, including anti-tax guru, Eddie Ray Kahn of Sorrento.
Snipes, 46, must pay $217,363.75.
The Orlando-born actor, star of the science-fiction trilogy, “Blade; “White Men Can’t Jump;” and the sequel to “The Fugitive,” is free on bond while his defense team appeals his conviction on three misdemeanor counts of willfully failing to file a federal tax return.
If his convictions and sentence are upheld, Snipes faces 36 months in prison.

The prosecution costs include a fee of $193,716 for scanning, printing and numbering documents seized from the Lake County offices of American Rights Litigators Inc., the now-defunct, anti-tax organization that advised Snipes how to avoid his tax obligation.

Why is the end result jail, my goodness from a Canadians point of view it’s so bizarre.
Your Jail System has made so many traumatized people it’s ruined your country.

Fact is Snipes put up a good fight and at least made some headway in convincing many that the IRS is not rock solid in its premise to steal your money given the understanding you owe no corporate entity like the IRS your money. Go through a trial and face the Lion and come out the way he did I have to give him respect for being strong to not crumble under the pressure.

The outright reason Snipe’s was convicted was to put fear into the heart of every American who dare question the false ‘income tax law’. The IRS has had ex-agents come forward saying they have not filed a fed income tax since they left the organization. Why are they not in jail, because the IRS knows full well there is no law that is mandatory for Americans to file. Snipe’s is a huge hero and should be commended on not bowing down to the bullying of this false institution. I guess we all see what will happen in the future. All that think everything is good and pure, better wake the hell up to the reality of your surroundings. We need to take back our freedoms, not by fighting the government, but by simple ‘civil disobedience’.

“Why is the end result jail, my goodness from a Canadians point of view it’s so bizarre.”
Believe me, it’s bizarre for us too. Not only is it not REALLY a law, but this guy is a MILLIONARE. If they convicted him for failure to pay taxes, he could simply pay them and be done with it, but for fun they send him off to prison… Guess who gets to pay for his stay there? It’s totally absurd. I talked to “pro”-income tax people on his message board at the imdb.com, and I was shocked. These people have no idea that they’re not only kicking themselves in the ass by supporting an unconstitutional law, but they’re more than happy to pay for Snipes clothes and meals for the next THREE YEARS. Actually, when you lay it out like that, they shut up pretty quickly.

Read this ka ka and you will understand how the Fed Mafia works. One can clearly see it’s not so clear. The fedster that wrote this was laughing all the way to the Federal NoReserves Bank.
TITLE 26 > Subtitle F > CHAPTER 61 > Subchapter A > PART II > Subpart A
(a) General rule
When required by regulations prescribed by the Secretary any person made liable for any tax imposed by this title, or with respect to the collection thereof, shall make a return or statement according to the forms and regulations prescribed by the Secretary. Every person required to make a return or statement shall include therein the information required by such forms or regulations.

They stole our gold
They ruined our Money
They defecate on us then used the Constitution for wipe paper
They disbanded the constitutions protector… the Milita
They pass unlawful code such as this
They hire human excrement to enforce their policies by tasering/shooting humiliating us then illegally incarcerate those of us that see them for what they aren’t
Capone and Hitler would be green with envy with this CorpFedster Mafia.

Why he didn’t just quit the USA for keeps is beyond me. Who wants to live in a police state like that?
August 6th, 2008 at 3:53 pm
tell them check is in the mail then only send half, like Bush did with his stimulus plan

Welsey tell them the check is in the mail then only send them half like Bush did with the fake stimulus plan

Until IRS agents are too scared to enter homes will the tide begin to turn.
August 6th, 2008 at 5:16 pm
The government is not by the people, of the people, or for the people.
The miltary, the ones who pull the triggers anyway. are the people and in a final police state many will decent for the people.

there is too much talk and zero action when it comes to these subjects about government wrongdoing.
the quickest way to make things better for the people is to physically remove all lawyers and judges from office. until the people do this, nothing will change.
we’re just peasants.

We used to claim that the commies were evil because they charged the family the cost of the bullet used for execution. Also we used to say how nasty the Nazis were because they required national ID.
Funny how the more time goes by the more our government resembles the ones we used to revile.

And will the government ’snipes’ repay us when they use their ‘legal’ system to destroy us? It’s an old tool of the ruling class…their legal system, not ours…they us it at will to destroy those who will not go along with the program, or to cover their actions…”just find someone and blame it on them…the jury will convict, they always work for us” so many men have been let off death row lately…how would you like to face death and know you are innocent? Just because some stupid jurors always want to believe what their gd government says. Americans are among the most stupid people on the planet, they just have been told by their government that they aren’t, so that’s good enough for them. MORONS! (sorry, for those of your how know what’s going on…but, there are so few of you).

SNIPES SHOULD DONATE PART OF HIS FORTUNE FOR THE INFORMATION WAR!

Jail time for not paying the mob off. I guess better than 2 broken legs. Imagine waking up and realizing your country is one giant crime syndicate. Wow, what a revelation.

no prison could hold him.

If taxes were really illegal on labor, then how can they get away with this?

This case seemed to come about after Snipes’ comments on 9-11, and his suggestion to ‘create a homeland security to WATCH Homeland Security…’ Snipes didn’t believe the 9-11 official story, and didn’t like the idea of HOMELAND SECURITY immediately when Bush enthroned it. He spoke in a few interviews about creating a private firm to WATCH the government.

it is not a law to file federal income tax…..SHOW ME A LAW THAT SAYS I NEED TO PAY! it was invented by congress in like 1913. no law has ever been created to file fed income tax. ask any one to show you this law and you shall win your case. there are laws that state if you are obligated to pay federal income tax then you have to pay the state. but no one is obligated to pay a federal tax. period!!!!
youve been had. the first income tax was used to create the global elite, and there after has created an NWO. take a stand and ask where is the law that says i have to pay!!!!
take to the streets and show these people we meen buisness

Did you notice another bitch of a problem…They charged Wesley for prosecuting him! WTF, making copies, and admin. If it isn’t a law then how can they get away with putting him away. How bout a rally to free snipes?
How can we make a stand? getting people informed makes us feel better and gets it off our chests but it doesn’t stop the onslaught.

Mr. Snipes: keep the money and give up your citizenship. move to Belize and put all the money in foreign belize accounts. criminals rule now so become a better one. Everyone get ur money out of usa. put it into mexico belize or honduras.
August 8th, 2008 at 2:36 am
Sorry Alan, but I see no point in putting the money into bank accounts of Banana Republics where the corrupt local gov’t can seize it anytime they wish. It’s rather better to buy land in the US, build underground shelters and bunkers and stockpile huge amounts of guns, ammo, storable food and other stuff in places where the blackshirts won’t find it. There is no point in runnig to the third world. Stay in America and stand and fight. Take back your local gov’t. Wake up every citizen one by one.
Rich celebrities like Snipes and all the others who have woken up should use their money in the infowar. Imagine how many DVDs you can get distributed with just $ 1 Million!
