Title: Are Ed and Elaine Brown Dead?

Are Ed and Elaine Brown dead? We don't know - the government won't tell where they are, so we cannot verify their condition. If Ed and Elaine had been hurt during their arrest, it would be in the government's interest to withhold this information, since they obviously fear a violent reaction to the arrest from Brown supporters. Until the government chooses to divulge information on the Brown's whereabouts, we will be unable to verify their condition and will have to assume the worst.

Do we know if Ed carried while in his home?

Its fair to assume the Browns have been separated and could possibly be undergoing diesel therapy, being moved from place to place so they can't be located by their supporters.

That's exactly what is going on, I think. I got arrested by ATF a long time ago and got a guided tour of every jail in New Hampshire for a couple of weeks so I couldn't be found by friends. They actually indicted me at 1 a.m. in a private office so the lawyer who was trying to represent me couldn't attend.

The last thing they want is for these people to be bailed out quickly.

I don't have much sympathy for the Browns' cause but I have sympathy for them personally. At least they're in jail in New Hampshire...the jails are kinda crude, but they're not likely to be mistreated. I had cops and jailers making phone calls to friends to let them know where I was. They could have been fired, probably, but they hated the freakin feds more than I did.

There's no 'bail' to be involved. They have already been sentenced to jail. Last I read they were turned over to transport authorities, apparently to put them in the facilities where they are to serve their sentences.

Ed "Lewis" as chose to be called at the end of his freedom turned out to be a few cards short of a full deck. God bless him and his wife but they made a mess of what remains of their life. If I were making their income I'd have hired a crackerjack CPA and paid as least tribute as possible to the authorities and gone on with my life.

The battle that they chose to fight has to be one of the most risky of them all.

Even AJ has decided to pay his tribute so that he can do what he does...

There are tons of people who do this that we never hear about. Ed was the exception that chose otherwise as a matter of conscience, for which we respect him.

conviction and courage, yes, but you can't deny that their decisions from beginning to this end has ruined their lives. they are both in their 60s. the feds are going to pile more charges on them and they'll be lucky if they ever see each other again. as hard as this is to say, they'll probably die behind bars. not only that, the government will take everything they own. so much for the Live Free or Die motto. i would bet that right now they're regretting the decisions they made too.

Tom Cryer lucked out in his case. he said so and he and Larry Becraft both advised everyone, "folks don't try this at home."

Courage? Mr. Brown, prior to his battle w/the IRS, was a multi millionaire. Toward the end of his odyssey, he referred to himself as “Mr Lewis“. He mentally fell off the cliff and took his wife with him. He's forever is relegated to the patriot KooK Hall of Fame and someone whose tactics should be a reminder of the insanity that grips some decent folks in the patriot movement.

What we are seeing in cases such as this is the same thing ancient tyrants did when they had petty lords in far off regions ignoring their demands for tribute: They lay siege on the recalcitrant, they eventually go in, seize the recalcitrant, and promptly impale him for all to see. They seize all his property, and cast forever his memory as an enemy of the state.

These two will never see the light of day again, sadly.

IMO it was a fool's mission.. those who have money will not win.. and as I said b/f to what end? Exactly what has happened.. they've lost everything.. their legacy is just as youve said.. enemies of the state. Those who encouraged these people to stay the course.. need to be flogged.

And the contrary is also true. Many folks choose to fight the system only to be beaten down like a dog, w/o anyone except their immediate families knowing the devistation they suffer. Here’s my best advice for anyone who gives a rip what I think; if you have assets, and choose to stay in America, pay the bastards the least amt. of $ you can get away with. If you have nothing,be my guest and test all these wild tax theories. Should they fail, bolt the nation.

We don't really know if they're in a jail in New Hampshire, do we? If they're being treated to diesel therapy, like they did to Rep. George Hanson who wrote "To Harass Our People" detailing IRS abuses (a book everyone should read), they'd no doubt be spending more time in the air or on busses than they would be in any particular facility.

The thing that confuses me is that I was under the impression that the Browns were never alone on their property and that there was a constant stream of supporters staying with them. If that's true, there could be a lot more to this story than we're currently hearing and I guess the only way we'll know about that for sure is if the friends and families of people who were supposed to be there start wondering why they aren't checking in with them on a regular basis.

I was let in without a search and without much skepticism. I found the lack of scrutiny quite unsettling.

i'll NEVER understand why they did this. they had to have known this is the MO of the feds.

I suppose they didn't like the idea of living on the run while their self- sufficient property just sat there vacant. Besides, running would be especially hard for a woman of Elaine's age. And obviously they believed they'd have enough support for their cause ... sadly, the shoe just hasn't pinched enough toes quite tight enough yet so widespread support just isn't there. Of course by the time it is finally there, it'll be WAY too late.

No, Revere had an army of patriots behind him and he/they fired a shot. We don't, hence a useless effort.

So you think no patriots suffered greatly at the hands of the king PRIOR to Paul Revere's ride? It all started that night? He came with a ready made army and there was no quibbling, or violent disagreements amongst the colonists about which course of action should be taken.

Sure. Everybody wants to run the show and I suppose he was no different in that regard, since it was his show. And his conviction. Unfortunately, people can be right and still piss a lot of people off in the process. Whether or not he was right isn't mine to judge, it was his neck on the block, so I'll cut him some slack.

My point is all this founding rather nonsense is ancient history. What back then could be challenged, man to man, on even terms with muskets is now an absurd notion. For Ed “Lewis” Brown to have an open door policy to his home while at the same time thinking he could put a dent in a Kevlar vest with a .45 cal. was lunacy. I’d have paid my taxes, call me what you want.

Here’s my best advice for anyone who gives a rip what I think; if you have assets, and choose to stay in America, pay the bastards the least amt. of $ you can get away with.

There's another option for those who don't mind playing paperwork: Create a network of business entities and trusts that own and control one another. Whenever you personally need money, you borrow it. Borrowing money is not a taxable event, and even the IRS acknowledges that. Of course if you do that perpetually, then by the time you die you owe millions, so that's something you have to live with.

No one's safe and vocal people are especially unsafe, so everybody pretty much jams a sock in it. But the revenuers can go after anyone they want at any time they want and write the story after the fact, however they please, knowing a large enough percent of the population will swallow whatever garbage is waved in front of their faces.

Like old blind ladies in wheelchairs really DO deserve to be tased, and kids who drop a chunk of cake on the sidewalk really SHOULD have their wrists broken, and idiots who show up with cameras at the wrong places and times are a genuine threat to society, so they MUST be arrested and charged. With something. And if all else fails to generate enough fear, there are the revenuers.

angle ol' buddy,

When I sent my letter to President Reagan in 1983 I said that I'd never file another return "for the convenience of the IRS again!"

Now, people in that income bracket actually pay a smaller percentage than working stiffs who are subject to wage withholding, and if Bush had his way the Browns' corporations would be completely exempt!

If I made that kinda bux I'd stay barely in compliance so I could trumpet info that damages their collection and enforcement efforts, just as attorney Larry Becraft does.

And, because the Browns actually filed incorrect documents and hid income I wouldn't exactly hold them up as shining examples of principled resisters.

If they were principled they'd work in professions that allow them to shift funds away from the IRS' grasp and not misrepresent the actual numbers, instead of pretending to comply while stuffing money into mattresses.

Remember, they were not involved in the tax education movement before their legal troubles began, so it wasn't so much about principled patriotism as it was avoiding taxes. And, they didn't use the methods that principled patriots use. I don't file at all. If I filed and fibbed then I wouldn't claim to be acting on principle if I was targeted for prosecution.

That doesn't wash in my code of ethics.

__________________________

And, to others:

Why do you assume that the Browns are in NH?

They could be in GITMO by now. In fact, when you consider that the enforcement of PROHIBITION was at its all time worst immediately before repeal (the govt didn't want to let go) that's probably what the govt will do to someone before the issue is settled once and for all.

Wrong.

The Price They Paid by Gary Hildreth

Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence?

Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons in the Revolutionary Army, another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War.

They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.

What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners; men of means, well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured.

Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.

Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.

Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.

At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.

Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.

John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later he died from exhaustion and a broken heart. Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates.

Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more. Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged: "For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor."
