Thanks S.F.W.,

--But this AP Writer Frank Eltman of Garden City, N.Y. @ 7:54 PM earlier this evening got it wrong: Wolfe and Riley did not "pleaded not guilty" today as I was there and an eye and ear witness to the Magistrate Muirhead who technically said that he was entering a plea of NOT guilty for each* of them, that they or their court-appointed attorneys should have objected to as this N.H. Court is withOUT jurisdiction!(*)

--There was NO electronic posting on the TV screen for this 2:00 p.m. hearing that got started about 15 minutes late, first with Daniel Riley brought into the courtroom in leg irons, then escorted out, then back in again, and then after his hearing, a few minutes wait for Robert Wolfe.  Both defendants were asked if they had read the indictments, and both said: yes.  Their attorneys said that a bail hearing shall be scheduled withIN three (3) days and requested that a hearing be held, tomorrow, Friday, Sept. 14th, but that the prosecutor and/or judge said that that was not enough time to get the witnesses here to testify from Vermont, and so he scheduled the next hearings for 1:30 and 2:00 p.m. respectfully, on Monday, Sept. 17th*.

--*That might be better IF Reno (Cirino Ganzales) can assert his rights AGAINST extradition by presenting the evidence Ed has (and should have given a copy to all four defendants) of that certificate from Bill Gardner's Office of Secretary of State that the Feds are in violation of N.H. RSA Ch. 123:1 from 1-8-17 U.S. Constitution(*).  Hopefully the judge in the U.S. District Court in WHERE? "West of Corpus Christi" tomorrow can ORDER that he will look into this procedural due process in NOT ordering that Reno be "extradited" that they like to call "removed" now, until AFTER the N.H. jurisdiction is proved in the Texas court and for Jason Gerhard in Missouri too, the "Show Me" state! And hopefully both Texas and Missouri in compliance with their statutes as over at http://www.constitution.org/juris/fjur/1fj-ba.htm so that they, also by the governor's office, as some states require his signature too,  can say to New Hampshire to get its act together BEFORE they send anybody into such an unlawful and illegal quagmire!

Yours truly, Joe H.

Dave, you are the man.  It looks like 0-day video releases are here to stay.

I was at wal*mart and noticed they have sub $800 hard drive video cams now, with night vision.  In camera editing is something I'd love to sit and learn with you if I get one of these 40-hour beasts.

sounds like an idea....maybe i can make you one of my correspondents

typist notes:

* paragraph #4, technically they were not sentenced to "prison" but the custody of the U.S. Marshal, which word means 1. "The act or right of guarding" and 2. "Any state of being kept or guarded, esp. imprisonment" but not ONLY the latter, as the Browns are being "kept" on their property, and guarded, but by non-official** officers [compare #7 + 16(a) above, to the "official" word missing in #12a,] the word official defined as "Of, pertaining to, or authorized by a proper AUTHORITY;" (emphasis ADDed) there being NONE since the Federal non-filing by N.H. RSA Ch. 123:1 with the N.H. Secretary of State as to fulfill the "Consent" from 1-8-17, U.S. Constitution.

*** 10d to "resist" is to withstand, and to withstand is "To oppose (something) with force; resist or endure successfully."  Compare to my Reply #______ above for the word militate: of to have force as evidence.  So withOUT the proper proof of official** status by the U.S. Marshals WHO is really the ones exerting the force!?, when the evidence is in the certificate of Federal non-filing that the judge refused to mark as an exhibit to present to the trial jury in the Brown case, and given over to the prosecutor Wm. Morse who neglected his Federal Rule 36 and State Rule 3.8 duties to present this evidence to both the judge and the defendant(s) Brown!

**** Apparently none of the 23 members of the Grand Jury, nor the three U.S. Attorneys can spell, leaving out the letter n, between #10 m + o above.

[error]

k.  In and around June 2007, Co-conspirator A delivered a number of fire extinguishers to the Browns home because Edward Brown said that he (Edward Brown) believed that federal law enforcement officers would set fire to the Browns' home;

I find it extremely disturbing that the feds would have a complaint about someone wanting to prevent them from setting that person's house on fire. That this was brought to the grand jury at all seems to suggest that marshals were (and might still be) considering burning them out.

I think I'm buying fire extinguishers for my friends for Christmas. Then again, if protecting one's home from dangerous arsonists is now a federal crime...

[Nicholas Gilman]

m.  In and around June 2007, Co-conspirator A installed motion detector lights on the Browns' property;

     

   In other news, I assembled a halogen torchiere lamp for my girlfriend a few months back.

Ed has long ago brainwashed his wife into thinking that the only solution is dying for their cause. They have been looking for conflict since they stopped paying. This is painfully obvious.

Living at home versus a looong stay in federal prison (also commonly found with the tagline "pound me in the ass"), especially when your home is largely self-sufficient, AND where a non-crime has been committed... strikes me as a fairly sensible choice.

I've never spoken with Ed and have thus not been subject to his brainwashing. @.@

Two Brown Supporters Arraigned in Concord  ( Public )    
Friday, 14 September 2007
By Kat Kanning

Two supporters of Tax Truthers Ed and Elaine Brown – Danny Riley and Robert Wolfe - were arraigned in Concord Thursday afternoon. It was heartbreaking to see the Wolfe family torn apart by government workers attempting to extract their paychecks from Ed and Elaine Brown. Mrs. Wolfe was clearly very distraught about the government/mafia kidnapping of her husband. Danny Riley, who was dragged back to New Hampshire from New York, appeared to have no one there to comfort him except for some of the nine people who showed up to protest the arrests. Riley and Wolfe are being held until at least Monday, September 17th, when the government/mafia decide if they can be released until their November trials. Conspicuously absent from yesterday's hearing and from the Brown's trial: any victims of the alleged crimes – 'cause there just ain't one.

Some videos from the protesters:

Joe Hass broke up the tension in court yesterday...Danny Riley was brought in then taken right back out.  As he was leaving, Joe said loudly, authoritatively "All rise for the honorable defendant."  A bunch of the reporters, including Margot Katz aka scoop, stood up.  It was pretty funny.

Elaine talking about the arrests.

[Romak]

seems to me romack and dick have to much time on their hands and romack i picture you sitting at your computer pretending to be having fun at the pool and the range i doubt a moron like you even has the balls to shoot a gun. but if you come to my personal range id be willing to give you a lesson as long as your in front of the target. thats not a threat so dont take it that way im just tired of reading your negative responses on the browns why don't you just move along to a forum you can agree with. firecracker joe

Lets see firing a gun on the range at a target means the bullet thats fired hits the target, if Im standing in front of the target that means I get hit by the bullett. Sounds like a threat to me. Its statements like these that got those 4 guys in trouble. How could I not take this as a threat dumbass. Its one thing to have a lively debate even if we completely disagree on things, its another thing to threaten people with death.
