Main thread for Ed and Elaine Brown vs the evil IRS, Part 22

Maybe this is a strategy that if and when he's captured, he can spend luxury time in a mental hospital, rather than within the concrete walls with barbed wire fence. "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest".

Or maybe the insanity isn't a ruse...

Even with 24 hour surveillance by the nazi goonsquads, it is my understanding that the Browns have relocated.

Last time I was at their house ... we stayed outside and I didn't see or hear from Ed or Elaine. The last time I tried to go to their house the feds stood in our way and took our car temporarily.
Elaine has been able to send us nice emails that we have used in the Keene Free Press. Maybe they are in a nice snug location with good internet access. Maybe they have relocated and the feds will be waiting out an empty house.

Richardr do you consider yourself to be a person who fights for maintaining the freedoms of all Americans?

Yep. I've been a registered Libertarian since before Ron Paul ran for President the last time (1988).

Ed Brown isn't a hero, he's an asshole with a temper and an ego the size of Montana.

I guess I have to put another of your personalities on ignore.

[Russell Kanning]

If thats true Richardr and he did say that hes more insane that I thought.

Maybe I should create another personality on this forum and agree with and applaud myself.
If you stick to one name, we are less likely to try to kick you off our forum.

Sorry, I only post as RichardR.  Romak is one of your local NH residents, and I don't know who VEPR is.

Good to see that childish tantrums are still alive and well on this forum though.

U.S. Marshal: NH tax evaders arrested
12 minutes ago


Convicted tax evaders Ed and Elaine Brown have been arrested at their Plainfield home without incident, the U.S. Marshal's office in New Hampshire said Thursday.

The couple had been convicted on federal tax charges in January. They refused to turn themselves in to authorities when they were sentenced in April and had been holed up in their rural, fortress-like home since. It was not immediately clear how they were taken into custody.

"The Browns may now begin serving their 63-month federal prison terms," U.S. Marshal Stephen Monier said. "High profile situations like this are always difficult, but they don't have to be tragic. I'm glad no one was injured, and that the community remained safe throughout the operation."

The Browns have claimed the federal income tax is not legitimate.

Earlier this year, officials cut power and telephone service in an effort to ratchet up pressure on the couple convicted of scheming to avoid federal income taxes by hiding $1.9 million of income between 1996 and 2003.

After abandoning his federal trial and retreating to his home, Ed Brown repeatedly said that any attempts to arrest him would result in a violent confrontation.
