This attorney teaches how you can never be charged with failing to file/comply.

I cannot be prosecuted for failing to file a tax return if I have a good faith belief that the tax laws do not apply to me.
This is valid in theory, but it almost never works in practice.
The general rule is that ignorance of the law is no excuse, but ignorance is an excuse in prosecutions for tax crimes. The statutes defining the criminal penalties for violating the tax laws all use the word “willful†or “willfully†to describe the crime. So, for example, I.R.C. section 7203, which is titled “Willful failure to file return, supply information, or pay tax,†applies penalties to anyone who “willfully†fails to file a required return or pay a required tax. In United States v. Murdock, 290 U.S. 389 (1933), the Supreme Court held that the word “willfully†in tax statutes requires proof of a “bad purpose,†stating that:
“Congress did not intend that a person, by reason of a bona fide misunderstanding as to his liability for the tax, as to his duty to make a return, or as to the adequacy of the records he maintained, should become a criminal by his mere failure to measure up to the prescribed standard of conduct.â€
United States v. Murdock, 290 U.S. 389, 396 (1933).
In later decisions, the Supreme Court defined “willfulness†as “a voluntary, intentional violation of a known legal duty.†United States v. Bishop, 412 U.S. 346, 360 (1973); United States v. Pomponio, 429 U.S. 10, 12 (1976).

-I have been in court over 250 times.
-I have received numerous death threats that appear as to come from NEBRASKA STATE agents.
-I have been arrested an estimated 8 times. Always bogus false warrants, misdemeanor charges. (Mostly Municipal Housing Codes, or related acts.)

-I pay no State income taxes.
-I do not pay STATE sales tax on major purchases.
-I pay no COUNTY property taxes with out a judicial challenge. ( I believe I have discovered a filing for record process that takes my land off the tax roles. )
-I currently use no State drivers license, carry no vehicle liability insurance, do not register my automobiles.
-I do not register to vote for any representatives.
-I am a 'free inhabitant' pursuant to Article 4 of The Articles of Confederation. (Not a US citizen.)
-I am subject to the Church jurisdiction, and a strong advocate of full ecclesiastical independence from the United States jurisdiction.
-I believe in full support of the perpetual Union as found in the Articles of Confederation.
-I believe that a free inhabitant has the lawful standing to choose to live independent of the constitutional corporate US governments, and its statutory courts in the vast majority of his daily life, and to be forced to do otherwise is slavery.
-I believe that most all US written law is constitutional, but most all of that same law is misapplied upon jurisdictions where it has no force and effect of law and the bar association has perfected a system of keeping the people from knowing its true application. Order my 5$ presentation 'Free Inhabitant One A', for the truth in limited jurisdiction of all US written law.
