I’m Not a Slave Says Tax Protester Michele Seven
JACKSON, MS – A few weeks ago we received a message from Nashville resident Michele Seven who had received a letter from the IRS that claimed that she owed close to $640,000 in taxes and penalties from 2006. Michele wrote that she didn’t feel it her duty to give money she earned to something which she morally disagreed such as funding abortions and waging war. She drew parallels to those living 150 years ago, and noted that she would not have returned runaway slaves simply because man-made legislation demanded it.
When we were in Nasvhille last weekend we sat down with Michele (and visited, ate and had a great time with her family). In this powerful video Michele shares her story, expands on her rationale and asks others to think about whether taxes and how those taxes are spent are just and if not, to take stand up against what they know is wrong.
Will you stand with Michele Seven? Or will you stand idly by and let men with guns take her kids away and put her in a cage?

Thanks guys! I think that you did a terrific job getting those points out that we talked about. The kids and I are so thrilled to have new lifelong friends.
Michele
Thank YOU Michele. While lots of folks may agree with you in theory you’re acting morally and doing what is right – not funding an institution that relies of violence for its existence.
And I’m sure you and your fam don’t just have us but the entire freedom community as friends and supporters. We’ll be there if/when you need us.
Michele, thanks for you courage. You may want to look up Eric “WhoRU?” Williams if you haven’t heard of him. His solution seems to be the only one I’ve found that actually works. He was harassed by the IRS in the 70’s but once he got in court, it lasted 5 minutes before he walked out and they’ve never bothered him since. Basically he brought up the issue of jurisdiction and they couldn’t prove he was under their jurisdiction so the black-robed tyrant had to let him go. He had home-schooled kids, a business and property that were never bothered by them.
Challenge their ability to prove that you are indeed a U.S. Citizen and under their political jurisdiction long before it makes it to jury trial (ie: the second you walk into court) because brainwashed juries will always convict you. They certainly don’t like the idea of you not having to pay taxes when they still do.
Remember, the 13th amendment prohibits slavery and involuntary servitude. You are assumed to be a slave unless you speak otherwise.

I wish you luck and hopefully you walk away free.
Michele – You might want to get in touch with the folks at the National War Tax Resistance Coordinating Committee (http://nwtrcc.org/). They’ve got a lot of resources and experience with this sort of thing, and can help you plan your strategy and help you anticipate how the I.R.S. will handle your case.
Hi Michelle,
I’m a Facebook Libertarian friend of yours. Thank you for having the courage to stand up against the thugs of the IRS. I will be showing the video to my online friends. I also wish you the best of luck and hope that you will walk away free without having to pay one penny of your rightfully earned income.
Suggest you get a copy and study “Cracking the Code”, available at http://losthorizons.com
The IRS has been deliberately misinterpreting the law since the 1940s and imposing a graduated unapportioned direct tax on the compensation for labor of the average American, something that is blatantly violative of the unalienable rights of the people.
They operate through FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) – do not argue with them, force them to prove their authority – every point of their authority.
Learn how to deal with the legal system via JurisDictionary…
Michele, please allow me to submit a strong second for “Cracking the Code” by Pete Hendrickson. Do not fear the IRS, your story will have a happy ending.

Michelle,
I’m not quite sure where to begin. First off: Congratulations on your fortitude to make yourself heard, in a day of extreme statist takeover.
For many years, I have used an EA (enrolled agent) to do my taxes. Never have I been audited. May I suggest you check out some of these marvels at keeeping steps ahead from state slavery.
Keep up the march to liberty,
Will
Sean & Jim, the point is that man-made legislation not does take precedence over our inalienable liberties as human beings.
You could also try to claim it violates your religious freedom by making you support an entity that kills via the thy shalt not kill commandment if you are Christian.
I suggest you get help, should you so decide to do so, from Peymon at
Freedom Law School at http://www.LiveFreeNow.org
I recommend Freedom Law School for peace of mind. They will give you the proper balance of education, support, and representation when dealing with the IRS.
I have been fighting the irs for over a decade.

Michele, greetings.
If you may have watched Aaron Russo’s remarkable documentary called “America, Freedom to Fascism” (it may be on YouTube), you’ll see that the IRS cannot inform anyone, upon challenge, where in the Internal Revenue Code it requires anyone to file and a pay a tax. In the film, evidence that a jury found a defendant not guilty in a tax case was due because even the judge could not inform the jury where the IRC provided the law to file and pay.
In 1967, as entered into the Congressional Record was the evidence that the 14th Amendment to the Constitution was never ratified. This means there is no such thing as a “U.S. Citizen” which according to the purported 14th Amendment meant that a US Citizen was a subject to the jurisdiction of the federal government. So whereas you may be citizen of Tennessee, you are certainly not a U.S. Citizen. Because no 14th Amendment exists, no one is a U.S. citizen. If US citizenship confers liability of paying a tax to the IRS, then you may politely inform their agents you are not one.
For evidence of publishing this info, check out the Idaho Observer of late 2005, available at http://proliberty.com/observer/20051207.htm.
Another myth that needs to be dispelled is “tax dollars”. They just don’t exist. All the funds the government needs for its operations are created out of thin air by the Federal Reserve as “loans”. All IRS collections go to pay the interest on the “national debt”.
If you got a Notice of Levy from the IRS, IRC Sect. 6330(a) which addresses this subject, states in paragraph (a) that a levy applies to officers, employees and elected officials of the United States, and political subdivisions. The question to raise is — are you consider to be any of the three types of taxpayers categorized above? If not, the issuance of the levy is actual fraud.
I would advise (not legal advice) that you request of the IRS a so-called “Collection Due Process hearing” to contest the presumption that you owe any tax. As far as capital gains on investments is concerned, such can only be taxed (if one is a taxpayer) when profits are taken. If the gain is reinvested, and a loss of the gain results, there is no profit taking, and thus no liability for tax.
Check out the non-ratified 14th Amendment. It’s my understanding that American citizens who are not U.S. citizens, i.e. U.S. property, are not under the purview of federal jurisdiction. Fight this tooth and nail, knowing that the IRS are a bunch of crooks, and they will be the ultimate losers — big time.
Best wishes. rc
Michele is the type of woman I would marry. I would recommend that she does get an attorney simply because the cowardice American sheep will sit on their couches and watch Dancing with the Stars while she and her children are drug off by the Nazis to the concentration camps. People said they would support Ed Brown but when the IRS Child molesting Scumbags came with their guns, the supporters scattered. Consequently, Ed and his wife are now in prison.
LOL…seems like all the referrals listed in comments above are advertising, and that’s about it. Give me your money, and I send you some useless documents.
This whole thing smells of a scam. A sad story and all the followup deals with paid services to “help” you.
I don’t believe anyone just because they made a video. You want followers….show us the beef baby. That means let’s see the letters and references to the lien. I think this is all BS….otherwise you would be in jail by now for owing that amount of money.
Ridiculous.
With you all the way, Michelle. The groundswell is building for a real revolution, and we know who will win…WE WILL.
We are halfway across the US, but if we can help in any way go to my website (listed above) and contact us.
To dogismyth: Were I you, I would refrain from posting. You are showing your ignorance. Do the research first and THEN you’ll be singing a different tune.
You don’t know what you are talking about.
Michelle,
It seems like you are making a huge mistake.
As you explain in the video, if you trade stocks but you don’t file a return, the IRS gets a false picture of your income. It adds up the gross proceeds of all your trades but doesn’t subtract the basis of each trade. That’s how it got to the crazy figures of over $1,000,000 in income and over $600,000 in taxes owed. If you would just file, then those figures would go way down, to their correct values.
You say you won’t file because you’re not a slave and because you’re against war, but paying taxes doesn’t make you a slave. Even in a free society, some thing have to get done collectively (such as building roads and maintaining military defense) and they have to get paid for by taxes.
I think you owe it to your children to at least file, so that the IRS will know the correct amount you owe. Based on what you say, it would be a lot less han $600,000. Then if you refuse to pay that amount because you want to protest the war, that’s your decision (still a bad decision, I would say), but at least your dispute with the IRS would be about a much smaller amount.
There’s probably a time limit on responding to the IRS letters, and if you don’t respond, at some point you may lose your right to do so, and then the $600,000 figure will be what you legally owe. And all because you refused to file! I think you should file immediately. If you want to screw up your own life, that’s one thing, but think about your children.
Michele Seven….Do NOT converse with the IRS. That implies cooperation. #1. They are NOT a government agency but a private coporation #2. The Law to pay income taxes was NEVER ratified, thereby, IT IS NOT LEGAL. #3. Originally, only the District (of Columbia) was by law obliged to pay taxes.#4 They HAD to make all of the US under their jurisdiction in order to command payment, they did so with Zip Codes and state abbreviations.#5 You are in essence, claiming to be a FREEMAN IN SUI JURIS. To talk with an IRS agent is an agreement to pay. Money paid to the IRS does NOT go into the US Treasury, but directly into the IMF. It is paid as a tribute tax to the Queen of England. You must claim, “without prejudice-UCC-1-207″. So, assert and claim Sui Juris status/standing, force the IRS to try and prove by sworn statements or contract, which was signed by you, that your Sui Juris status claim is invalid. It is up to them to prove, not you. DO NOT BE BULLIED BY THEM! EVERY WORD YOU SAY CAN BE HELD LIABLE AGAINST YOU. DO NOT SPEAK TO THEM, OR LET THEM IN YOUR HOME. ALL THIS IMPLIES CONSENT ON YOUR PART TO COOPERATE AND PAY.
Michele Seven…once again, IF you find yourself before a judge, please read the following: ” Your honor, my use of “Without Prejudice-UCC-1-207″ above my signature in this document, indicates that I have exercised the Remedy provided for me, in the Uniform Commercial Code at Article 1, Section 207, whereby, I might reserve my Common Law Right NOT to be bound by, nor compelled to perform under any contract, commercial agreement, or bankruptcy, that I have not entered into knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally. That reservation serves notice upon all of the administrative agencies of government, Federal, State or Local, that I do not and will not accept the liability.”"
As a freeman, sovereign and as a common law sui juris, you are not obligated to pay. Research your rights in this dear and know them well, cause any government agency can twist yopur words to suit their agenda. Be well informed. I hope what I have said here helps you.
Michele Seven…….Do NOT quote the constitution or make a reference to it. Those that do so, ALWAYS lose their cases with the IRS. It is not about your constitutional rights, they are all gone anyway via the Patriot Acts. Your beliefs in war, etc. do not and will not hold water with any judge. You MUST instead know enough LAW to fight back legally. We the people of this country, do NOT know the real laws that operate here, they are kept hidden from us so that we will not know how to fight back. The courts are no longer civil /criminal courts, but courts of commerce. We are under Commerce Laws. So, one must know them and research them well.
Hope this helps.
Michele Seven, I must respond once again. You are OWNED by the Corporation of the United States of America, (it’s true title), if you have any of the following:
A birth certificate; a SS card; a Federal Reserve bank account; a credit card; a state driver’s license; a postal zip code. All of these constitute jurisdiction. Also, you have signed away all your rights under Common Law. Look at your documents closely. Your name is all in capital letters. This signifies that YOU are a corporation, a slave, owned by this government. All your property belongs to them. You have NO rights. There are websites that go into this further. Again, do your research. You MUST be informed. Do not respond to IRS phone calls, letters or visits to your home. These are intimidation tactics. Do not get mad, get well informed. That’s the best info I can give you dear.
I understand what you ar saying and Im reading a lot about the 13th amendment as well as the 16th, I think you should file for the kids and not be subject to incaceration but after you do so read about a ucc a uniformed commerce code and your straw man.
Right Alma, play it safe, huh? Then check out the info about your freedoms. Sorry, doesn’t work that way. NEVER let anyone, or any government agency threaten you!! The IRS IS NOT A GOVERNMENT AGENCY, BUT A PRIVATE BUSINESS!!! They have NO right to threaten you, FOR ANY REASON. It’s the same deal as credit card companies that send you the “pay or else” letters. THEY HAVE NO RIGHT TO DO THAT EITHER”. That’s why it’s important to UNDERSTAND your rights FIRST, and make NO agreements with anyone. Agreements can be as simple as saying yes that is my name to their question. If your name is all in capitals, it is NOT YOU, but a LEGAL FICTION called a corporation. Research, please!!!!!
Michele,
I have been through all this irs tax collection and penalty problem in the past. I insisted I wasn’t liable since there was no law making me liable. Then, after nine years of all this hassle, I found out that the ssn is what makes you a federal person and makes you liable for the tax when your employer or, in your case, broker, submits information on you and associates it with this number. So, I had to back off!
Michele, I also wanted to say, you know, you’ve got that Jennifer O’neill look that I have always admired and the voice is similar too! I wish you all the best!
what a bunch of blathering idiots. Theresa…you are awfully sure of yourself. Perhaps you would care to share some of your personal experiences in court over taxation with the IRS? Are you just an avid reader of internet bullshit?
If you are trying to help, your words are useless. Please provide references, links and the like.
Theresa, you need more help than Michele. michele doesn’t have the brains to do a simple filing. You on the other hand are possessed with fables and theories that eventually will lead individuals to more trouble.
I have been wondering about this topic for some time now. I read one web site and an expert says you don’t have to pay federal income tax. The next site’s expert says you do. Both provide compeling arguments. TO THE PEOPLE TELLING MICHELE TO FIGHT THE IRS: How long has it been since YOU filed federal income tax (when you made enough to ‘require’ it)? Have YOU OR ANYBODY YOU ACTUALLY KNOW won in court?
Thanks
So, I’m all “fables and theories”, huh? How do you know this, dogismyth? Have you done YEARS of research and your own fighting against the system? Have you come up against the system enough to have them bomb your house, shoot at you and put a government assassin on you?
I’ve paid my price the hard way, and giving out my personal info is self-incriminating , done on the web like this.
I have learned to be smarter than that.
You should too and DO YOUR RESEARCH.
The Truth IS out there.
Sorry Theresa, but every single tax trial, no matter what evidence is presented – ends with the prosecutor addressing the jury and saying “You pay your taxes, I pay my taxes, we need armies, courts and roads, this person didn’t pay their taxes!” and the jury immediately votes guilty. That is the reality. If you don’t want to pay income taxes, then don’t make any income. Report $0 on your form. Get paid under the table the way illegal aliens do.
Not EVERY trial, only those people that COOPERATED with the IRS go to trial at all. Your response is like so many I hear, just “do your duty and pay”. But in paying income taxes, you are keeping this illegal act going. They are committing FRAUD, by not disclosing the truth that paying taxes on your income is ILLEGAL. They are NOT a government agency. The money from taxes DOES NOT GO to the US Treasury.
Are you a government agent ? I wonder.
Your answer to my info is either from an agent keeping the lie going, or you are responding in fear. Too bad. There are those out there that don’t wish to participate in the ongoing LIE and wish to be FREE.
Your sarcasm doesn’t win the arguement!
Ok Teresa, where would be the best place to look to start to “DO MY RESEARCH”? Where is the TRUTH? Also, I don’t want to get shot at or have my house bombed. Is there a way to avoid that?
TOM,
There are two good websites that can start you off with some “basic”information. From there, other websites should be easy to access. Certain key words you can google also from your reading of articles.
http://www.freedom-school.com
http://www.commercialstanding.org.uk
Even though the last addy is in Britain, because all UK laws pertain to the US, (we are all property of the Crown), it has MUCH useful info.
As for not getting shot at or bombed, keep yourself anonymous. Keep the info to yourself and to forums where you are not known. Be wise. Be safe and never cooperate.
Theresa said, “Those that do so, ALWAYS lose their cases with the IRS.”
Everyone who has EVER used ANY of your claims has ALWAYS lost in court.
Do you have any proof that your claims work?
I have plenty that say that they don’t.
Michele – Awesome job!
BTW are you are aware of Linda Hunnicut and her “Granny Warriers” who traveled around the country stumping for Ron Paul and fighting for freedom?
They have now bought and are preparing to settle on a tract of land in Texas. Can’t recall the name just now. But when I first saw Motor Home Diaries I wondered if you and they were in touch.
People need to understand their economics! Murray Rothbard is the author to study if you want extensive knowledge, and economics is *not* dismal. It is about human action. See mises.org for more on Rothbard.
I have been reviewing his works on my web page, so do visit.
Hi,
Some critical info: Chrysler v. Brown 476 us 227
“It has been held in the adjudged decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, Chrysler Corp. v. Brown, and citing other adjudged decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States, that only a substantive regulation has the force and effect of law and it has a specific process accorded to it by the Administrative Procedures Act (“APA”) to have “force and effect of law” which must be followed explicitly. This is found in the adjudged decision of Chrysler Corp. v. Brown, 441 U.S. 281, 295, 296, 301-303 (1979), to wit: ”
“In order for a regulation to have the “force and effect of law,” it must have certain substantive characteristics and be the product of certain procedural requisites. The central distinction among agency regulations found in the APA is that between “substantive rules” on the one hand and “interpretative rules, general statements of policy, or rules of agency organization, procedure, or practice” on the other. [FN30] A “substantive *302 rule” is not defined in the APA, and other authoritative sources essentially offer definitions by negative inference. [FN31] But in Morton v. Ruiz, 415 U.S. 199, 94 S.Ct. 1055, 39 L.Ed.2d 270 (1974), we **1718 noted a characteristic inherent in the concept of a “substantive rule.” We described a substantive rule–or a “legislative-type rule,” id., at 236, 94 S.Ct., at 1074–as one “affecting individual rights and obligations.” Id., at 232, 94 S.Ct., at 1073. This characteristic is an important touchstone for distinguishing those rules that may be “binding” or have the “force of law.” Id., at 235, 236, 94 S.Ct., at 1074.”
“That an agency regulation is “substantive,” however, does not by itself give it the “force and effect of law.” The legislative power of the United States is vested in the Congress, and the exercise of quasi-legislative authority by governmental departments and agencies must be rooted in a grant of such power by the Congress and subject to limitations which that body imposes. As this Court noted in Batterton v. Francis, 432 U.S. 416, 425 n. 9, 97 S.Ct. 2399, 2405 n. 9, 53 L.Ed.2d 448 (1977)”
Agency actions by the use of non-substantive regulations are void or agencies failure to comply with rulemaking requirements of Federal APA is fatal, and this is held in the adjudged decision of State of Ohio DHS v. U.S. DHHS, 862 F.2d 1228, 1237 (1988), to wit:
In the case before us, the agency’s failure to comply with the rulemaking requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act is fatal to the validity of the maintenance amount ceiling rule. As Judge Manos observed in Standard Oil, 453 F.Supp. at 243,
“agency action taken in disregard of statutory rulemaking procedures is void. See e.g. Morton v. Ruiz, 415 U.S. 199, 94 S.Ct. 1055, 37 L.Ed.2d 270 (1974); Consumers Union of United States, Inc. v. Sawhill, 393 F.Supp. 639 (D.D.C.), aff’d per curiam, 523 F.2d 1404 (TECA 1975); Joseph v. United States Civil Service Comm’n, 18 U.S.App.D.C. 281, 294-95, 554 F.2d 1140, 1153-54 (1977); Rodway v. United States Dept. of Agriculture, 168 U.S.App.D.C. 387, 395, 514 F.2d 809, 817 (1975); United States v. Finley Coal Co., 493 F.2d 285, 291 (6th Cir.1974). As the Temporary Emergency Court of Appeals stated in California v. Simon, 504 F.2d 430, 439 (TECA, 1974) ’substantial compliance with rulemaking requirements is essential to the validity of administrative rules.’ ”
The Supreme Court of the United States has held that the agency power that affects substantial individual rights and obligations must remain consistent with the Acts of Congress to avoid arbitrary, unpublished ad hoc determinations and that the agency must follow its own procedures. And as sanction and for the protection to the people, Congress mandated in 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(1) that if no regulation is published and required as authorized by law (Congress), no person shall be adversely affected by the lack of any regulation not so published. This holding is found in the adjudged decision of the Supreme Court of the United in Morton v. Ruiz, 415 U.S. 199, 232-233, 235 (1974), to wit:
This agency power to make rules that affect substantial individual rights and obligations carries with it the responsibility not only to remain consistent with the governing legislation, Federal Maritime Comm’n v. Seatrain Lines, Inc., 411 U.S. 726, 93 S.Ct. 1773, 36 L.Ed.2d 620 (1973); Dixon v. United States, 381 U.S. 68, 74, 85 S.Ct. 1301, 1305, 14 L.Ed.2d 223 (1965); Brannan v. Stark, 342 U.S. 451, 72 S.Ct. 433, 96 L.Ed. 497 (1952), but also to employ procedures that conform to the law.
Under 5 U.S.C. § 706, the reviewing court must set aside any unlawful agency actions in excess of statutory authority and all other unlawful or illegal acts, to wit:
To the extent necessary to decision and when presented, the reviewing court shall decide all relevant questions of law, interpret constitutional and statutory provisions, and determine the meaning or applicability of the terms of an agency action. The reviewing court shall–
(1) compel agency action unlawfully withheld or unreasonably delayed; and
(2) hold unlawful and set aside agency
“So the next obvious question is how do I find the substantive regulation in the CFR’s, as they are all mixed up and not labeled.
Actually it is quite simple when you see it.
________________________________________
This is an Administrative type (could also be an interpretative type also), but ATF-6 included delineates the type.
At the bottom of 26 CFR 301.7602-1 is the following:

The giveaway is that all of the federal register and other information is all in brackets “[]“. The use of brackets in the government style manual is only to provide information only and text contained within the brackets is to be omitted.
This is a substantive regulation in title 27 CFR §70.22.
At the bottom of is the same information on the federal register, etc. in brackets, but above this is the AUTHORITY IN PARENTHESIS “( )”. There is the item that MUST be present to demonstrate a substantive regulation and it will be in parenthesis, not brackets!

study the CFR’s generally there are few substantive reg.s that pertain to you and me. Be careful with lawyers -most will steal the pennies from a dead man’s eyes and sell you out for whatever you paid for a retainer. Scum and scourge of humanity – lawyers. bleechhh!
You need counsel…the scum wearing the bat capes know the score but will reap your soul if one jot or tittle is misplaced. deceitful and devious scum wearing the bat capes… be very careful…
Good luck and best wishes…
