What's up at Lost Horizons?

They are right that once you are living in the streets and doing your internet surfing at the library, there's not much the IRS can do to you.

We have talked a lot about this on the board - stay out of the alligator pit.

......At some point, you're going to have to prepare to defend yourself legally,

Another important difference between tax nuts and lawyers and accountants is that lawyers and accountants think that a tax position that is going to have to be defended in court is usually a BAD tax strategy.

The only way they can collect from me is to take me to criminal court....

And a tax position that is going to be defended in *criminal* court is a VERY BAD tax strategy.

But that's just the thinking of people who do this kind of thing for a living. Self-taught idiots with narcissistic personality disorders and martyrdom fantasies might reach a different conclusion.

Actually, no, that is not the only they can collect from you. In fact, it is probably the least likely way that they will collect from you. Most likely, you'll find your assets (assuming you have any) being sold off and proceeds given to the IRS. Or a levy will be put in place on your wages or bank account (assuming you have wages and a bank account). Don't underestimate the power of the dark side.

I would bet that David can spout enough gibberish over there to get himself banned by Pete before Pete goes to jail.

I can last a few weeks I bet. I mean look at us over the years...


I can tell you exactly what is up at Lost Horizons.

The right to be heard.

Officer JACOBSEN: What is your name?
David Merrill: David Merrill.

Why have any hearings at all if I have no right to be heard?

That is why there are so many Refunds there. And why so many people get into trouble. Contradictory testimony comes in from the employer by W-2 and W-99 reports but the IRS is compelled to believe the initial testimony of the taxpayer. So they cut the Refund Check on the sworn testimony on the 1040 Form.

Then the DoJ comes after the individual and it turns out that "shall" means this, and "where is the law" means Article 10 'abrogating obligations' and finding liable in the Code... those are all so worn out that any Bar attorner gets sanctioned for even bringing them up. And the pro se guy gets one warning only.

So they have to pay it back with penalties and Pete banishes them if they want to report the failed success story.



Regards,

David Merrill.

Yes, Afghanistan - where the cottage industry is creating rubble, where vests come in two styles (bulletproof and suicide), where the men have more wives than teeth, where they really walk a mile for a camel, where the question "does this burka make my ass look fat" is asked, where they believe every word of the Koran but don't know how to read, where they think television is dangerous but routinely carry live ammunition in their pockets, where they can't think of anyone they HAVEN'T declared Jihad against, where they're amazed that cell phones can be used for purposes other than setting off roadside bombs, where the phrase "I love what you've done with the cave" is uttered, where they refine heroin for a living but have a moral objection to beer and where they wipe their butts with their bare left hands but consider bacon "unclean".

Talk about facepalms of the year!

This may be a good thing. Attracting the obviously mentally-ill might result in them suspecting that others amongst them are similarly ill.

Perhaps having swum in their pool of delusional losers for so long without serious question, throwing a word-salad piranha into their midst will wake them up.

If nothing else it will probably result in great hilarity, or at the very least copious quantities of ever more ridiculous gibberish.

Perhaps you fools might someday understand that the Internet is no forum to diagnose anybody mentally-ill.

But your consistent pseudonomania makes me wonder - at least I would if you did not show signs of having a Bar Card.

Um, so where did you get YOUR diagnosis? In that we agreed, you have to admit we did okay on at least one case.

Wrong. In that one case I was diagosed (evaluated) quite competent.

[redacted, in case someone wants to comment on the previous version]

[Nikki]

There is a significant difference between someone being deemed competent to stand trial (able to comprehend the charges against him and to contribute to his defense) and being deemed insane in terms of residing in an alternate reality and attempting to impose his version of reality on his surroundings,

Examples of inability to comprehend reality:

Baseless (in terms of law) allegations of illegal deferred prosecution

Failure to comprehend and accept the legal aspects of an arraignment

Belief that just because someone maintains a current bar association membership that person is a practicing attorney

Belief that because a judge enters a plea of 'Not guilty' (as mandated by law where the acused refuses to enter a plea) that the judge is 'practicing law from the bench'

Insistence and attempting to initiate legal proceedings based on the assumption that there is some financial bond associated with an oath of office.

It's marked "refused for cause". Doesn't that make it invalid on Planet Merrill?

[Nikki]

"refused for cause" MUST be scrawled diagonally in red crayon. Otherwise, it's invalid.

[David Merrill]

Nikki;


Evaluating me over the Internet means you are crazy.

Only on Planet Merrill.
