Tommy Cryer

Beat the IRS In Court!

Longtime Shreveport , Louisiana , attorney, Tommy K. Cryer, is no stranger to conflict and controversy. The Hall of Fame attorney, an honor graduate of LSU Law School and member of the prestigious Order of the Coif, has a reputation for taking on issues no one else would and, on a number of occasions, he has made new inroads in the legal world. But now he has thrown down the gauntlet in front of the mother of all 800 pound gorillas, the Internal Revenue Service, and the mama gorilla has picked it up. The only thing certain now is that someone is going to be hurt.

The story began over a decade ago when a friend told Cryer that the income tax was a sham. Cryer did not believe a word of it and thought his friend had gone off the deep end. Learning that his friend had decided to stop filing tax returns, Cryer determined to research the matter, show his friend where he was wrong, and keep him from getting in trouble with the IRS. That is how a two-year research project began, but it did not turn out the way Cryer expected. Sporting a wry grin, Cryer said, "That just goes to show you that no good deed goes unpunished."

His research not only included the tax laws themselves, but went past the first income tax in 1861 to the drafting of the Constitution and included reading hundreds of cases, Congressional archives and tax laws from 1913 to present. Cryer learned that although his friend had only a piece of the picture, he was right. "The Tax Code and its regulations are carefully and," he adds, "ingeniously crafted to deceive," said Cryer. He explains that the answer is not in what the laws say, but rather in what they do not say, and those provisions that are revealing are either hidden within tons of verbiage or behind double and triple negatives. And, more importantly, he says, he knows why.

So Cryer decided he would also stop filing returns and would challenge the IRS if and when it came to call. This resulted in "Failure to File Income Tax Return" charges being filed by the IRS. The jury said NOT GUILTY on all counts! www.gcstation.net/liefreezone/

TOPIC: His big WIN Against the IRS on July 11th.

Joe Banister

Former IRS Special Agent

is believed to be the first and only IRS Criminal Investigation Division Special Agent ever to conduct an off-duty investigation about claims that the federal income tax is fraudulently administered and enforced and then confront top IRS officials about the validity of those claims. After confronting said officials, including his own supervisors, he was encouraged to resign. He resigned from the IRS on February 25, 1999.

Joe is a graduate of San Jose State University, earning a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting. He earned a Certified Public Accountant (C.P.A.) certificate from the State of California in 1991, but left the practice of public accounting in 1993 to accept appointment to the Department of the Treasury, IRS Criminal Investigation Division, as a Special Agent (Criminal Investigator). In addition to his investigative duties as a sworn federal law enforcement officer, Mr. Banister was appointed the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (O.C.D.E.T.F.) Coordinator and Asset Forfeiture Coordinator for the IRS Central California District. He qualified as an expert marksman and assisted with firearms and defensive tactics training.

When Joe was faced with the reality that the Internal Revenue Service had no intention of addressing these serious issues, he knew he had a moral and ethical duty to inform the American people not only about his investigation, but about the failure of the Internal Revenue Service to provide any rebuttal to his research and the agency’s suspicious reluctance to discuss the matter at all. He has been doing so since his 1999 resignation from the IRS. For more information, visit www.josephbanister.com and www.freedomabovefortune.com.

"FAVORED FED" TO "ENEMY OF THE STATE" IN TWO YEARS FLAT - How one of the IRS’s own criminal investigators blew the whistle on the fraudulent administration and enforcement of the federal income tax.

Joe Banister will describe his transformation from "favored federal agent" to “enemy of the state” for simply pursuing and speaking up about the truth. During the eight years since his IRS resignation, the IRS and U.S. Department of Justice, with the help of a largely complicit “mainstream” media, have “pulled every dirty trick in the book” to discredit and silence him, including soiling his reputation and accusations of defrauding the United States of America. Joe’s presentation will expose the various efforts the government and media have used to discredit him so that you can judge for yourself whether or not his efforts are sincere and whether or not the IRS is truly committing fraud against the American people. Don't miss this enlightening and vital presentation about which affects all Americans by former IRS insider and now brave whistleblower, Joe Banister.

David vonKleist

911 Video Producer

Dave vonKleist has spent his career in the broadcast industry as a professional TV/radio announcer and as a professional vocalist for commercials and independent recording projects. He was staff announcer at WTNH-ch8, New Haven, CT (ABC affiliate) 1990-1995, and at WFSB-ch3, Hartford, CT (CBS affiliate) 1995-1996. He also hosted the “Dave Riddell” show, a three-hour afternoon drive-time talk show at WATR AM-1320, Waterbury, Connecticut.

Dave is an accomplished musician, vocalist, songwriter and performer of over thirty years. His albums “Will Someone Listen” and “Music to Die For,” contain significant songs dedicated to the issues of the day, such as: “Where are the Voices that Care?” the national Gulf War veterans song, and “The Ballad of Michael New,” which was dedicated to the Michael New Defense Fund, and “OK Can You See?” which questions the official story of the Oklahoma City attack. www.gulfwarvets.com/daves.htm

He is the producer of several documentaries, including “9-11 In Plane Site,” a compilation of network footage that has created world-wide controversy. His other accomplishments include writing, directing and editing the comedy television show “Spotlight Tonight.” It was voted “Best Show” and “Best Directed” show at the 1984 Laurel Cable Awards, which was syndicated to 110 stations nationwide.

He and his wife, Joyce Riley vonKleist, presently co-host “The Power Hour,” a radio talk show, and devote most of their time to obtaining assistance for sick Gulf War veterans through the American Gulf War Veterans Association in Versailles, Missouri. For more information on The Power Hour, visit www.thepowerhour.com.

When it comes to the 9-11 Truth movement, why are certain subjects and topics banned from open and honest discussion? Why are certain areas of investigation sanctioned and approved while others are shunned and condemned? Why is there so much infighting, backstabbing and finger pointing going on? Common sense dictates that infiltrators and detractors are set amongst resistance groups and researchers who challenge authority, and the 9-11 Truth Movement is no exception.

One of the most controversial debates in the 9-11 investigation is whether or not terrorists were solely responsible. Or was there a plot to make them the patsies in an elaborate government planned black-op designed to create a fraudulent war, destroy a financial Albatross (WTC towers), destroy the rights of Americans, and reap obscene war profits?

TOPIC: New DVD "911 Ripple Effect" Since the release of "911 in Plane Site" the Main Stream media have tried to keep this information from the people. This shows the lies by the media to stop people from seeing the truth.

Dave will be the Master of Ceremonies for the entire event. He will also be performing music and entertainment at the Saturday Night Awards Banquet. Don't miss it!

Bob received an honorable discharge from the U.S. Air Force in 1959 and he answered his country's call by volunteering as a ship's engineer during the sea- lift to Vietnam in 1966.

Although he is not an attorney, he is not unskilled in the law. For the past 22 years Bob has been occupied with an abiding concern about wrongful governmental behavior and has been carefully evaluating governmental behavior, comparing that behavior with the requirements of the State and Federal Constitutions and unhesitatingly confronting improprieties and conflicts in the courts, professionally, intelligently and rationally. Bob has performed the research, prepared the briefs, and argued cases in the highest state and federal courts.
