IN THIS ISSUE:
We honor Steve Cremedy is our club leader in South Carolina's largest city, the "capitol" of the SC upcountry -- beautiful Greenville. He has been with us for some years, in season and out -- regardless of whether he was being hounded by the or not at a given time. Yes, Steve is also the IRS's intended victim, but has never succumbed to either IRS pressure and intimidation or the "service's" desire to gulp him down. They've tried to do it for years but he is still enjoying receiving a full paycheck every week as his own case is guided by Dr. Robert Clarkson toward victory.
We salute Steve for his genial hosting of first Saturday meetings in Greenville, loyal participation in local protests against homeland tyranny, and hanging tough against the Instant Robbery Service. In all this, Steve is supported by his beautiful and charming wife Loretta. The Cremedysare the parents of two grown sons.

PN secretary Kris: Hi, Steve -- thanks for taking time to speak with us today. Tell us what your connection is with Dr. Clarkson and the Patriot Network.
Steve: I met Dr. Clarkson when he was holding meetings in Chick Springs around 1998-1999. I went to a couple of meetings, but I wasn’t involved in the PN at that time. It was a couple years later before I actually went to more assemblies, at which time they had moved to Prime Sirloin.
Among all the freedom organizations out there, what in particular do you like about the Patriot Network?
I like Dr. Clarkson’s philosophy against factionalism. One of the things I’ve learned from the government bureaucrats is that they look like they are fighting each other, but they are still working toward one common goal. Dr. Clarkson tries to get people not to battle amongst themselves. Warfare helps to keep things divided and that is what the bureaucrats want so that we won’t pay attention to what they’re really doing.
If I had more time, I would like to examine other Patriot organizations and find out what their strong points and weak points are and try to address all that. We really need a movement that will go full force against government oppression with everything. We need to get the establishment to obey the laws that it is forcing on the people.
When did you first become active in the freedom movement?
I first became active around 2000 when I started learning more about income taxes. I had tried Irwin Schiff's zero income filing and had received a few letters from the IRS. For the first three years we did get money back but they kept hounding us.
Tell us your story from the beginning.
I got started by studying the Bible and reviewing how things were done in the Old Testament I was especially interested what the Scriptures had to say about Christians and government.
I also researched American history and learned things they didn’t teach us in school. Three or four years after I started filing the zero returns, I started learning more about what the administration was doing. I researched case history to find out how things have occurred in the past. There is lengthy record behind everything the government is doing.
Are you having any current problems with the IRS and where does your situation stand today?
I’m still waiting on an appointment for an audit, but I haven’t heard anything in a while. I’ve replied to letters in reference to CDPH hearings corresponding to the zero returns that I filed and also to some returns that the IRS has filed on my behalf. One thing I’ve learned is, due to our ignorance of the law and listening to what officials tell us with out checking it out, is that the internal revenue code is for government employees and workers and not the citizens of the states, unless you live in federal territory.
How do you anticipate this situation turning out?
I’m looking for it to turn out positive, just like it does every time we have a rally. And of the course the GREAT ONE will be involved. He is very beneficial to have at rallies and hearings. We are usually victorious when he is in attendance.
What does this tell you about the way the government works in regards to the taxpayers it serves?
The government is supposed to work for the people, not the taxpayers. The people who are required to pay taxes are those who work for the federal government. The law identifies them as taxpayers as opposed to the citizens who are the ones to be served. Because of indoctrination by the media and the public school system, people have been dumbed down into accepting whatever the government officials tell us. They say the President is supposed to be our leader, when in actuality, it is the other way around. The people are supposed to be the leaders for the President. He is in office because of us and to serve us. Those in Washington are supposed to be beckoning to our call and not vice versa and we should not follow everything they say without question. They are leading this country into a path of destruction through high taxes on industry and by taxing individuals' labor and wages. This is destroying the work force and many companies are moving out of this region because it is more economical to pay slave labor. Now the quality of products is deteriorating due to all this. Additionally, we are actually in a police state, which has been slowly implemented so that the people would not take notice and form large protests and riots.
Did you have any illusions about what the government was up to before all your trouble started?
I did believe at one time that the government was doing everything it could to help people, but now I understand it is really enslaving people. I believe the best way to do things is to work within the system that they have created and get them to obey their own laws that they have written.
How specifically do Robert and the Patriot Network help people in situations like this?
What I like best is Robert’s course on the Constitution. He shows what the Constitution says about taxes. His organization is a self-help organization but you are able to receive help when you need it from Robert and other members. One of the first meetings I went to I heard a speaker say, “Don’t take my word for it, find out for yourself.” That inspired me to learn more. I have my certificate from attending Dr. Clarkson’s Law Course and I am able to research anything I need to and I am able to produce any legal documents that I require.
Tell us where you are from.
I have lived in Greenville since 1972, I met my wife in 1989 and we were married three years later. We have two boys ages 27 and 21.
How did you become acquainted with Robert Clarkson?
A friend had loaned me a book entitled Wake up America. Inside the front cover was Dr. Clarkson’s address and phone number of the Patriot Network. When I received my own copy, I called Dr. Clarkson and he invited me to a meeting. I attended one meeting but had too many other things going on at the time. A few years later someone my wife met got us hooked back into it. There aren’t too many blacks in this area that are into this. They are doing some things in the Patriot Movement in their own ways, but we don’t know how far they are willing to go to get involved.
What do you say to them to get them more involved?
I talk to them and try to get them talking about their problems and I invite them to a meeting. They are usually skeptical at first. I try to keep in touch with them. God’s providence usually intercedes. After people have inquired but have not attended a meeting, I’ve run into them again and I ask them why they did not come to the meeting, or if they did come, I ask them what they thought about it. I just talk to them and tell them some things that I have learned.
Tell us how your wife and your children feel about your activities.
My wife agrees with everything I’m doing in the patriot movement. We have met some people who are doing a lot for the cause and working peacefully and we strongly believe in the Scriptures and what God says. (John 1:1 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”) We cannot serve Christ under a corrupt form of government. Jesus told Satan in Matthew 4:10 “Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.”
Our younger son is involved somewhat. He has talked with Robert and learned some things. We haven’t really spent a lot of time talking with the older one about this.
I understand your wife has started her own daycare. Tell us a little about that and how she is able to operate that without government interference?
She has started a daycare in Piedmont, which has early childhood growth programs that prepare children for Kindergarten and first grade.
We don’t fear government, because we know our Constitutional rights from attending seminars and by studying on our own. We feel comfortable enough to have a business because of what we have learned from Dr. Clarkson and his law course and other materials. She also makes sure that she keeps abreast of the laws as far as day care centers are concerned so that she can act in accordance with them.
Do you have any further comments on Dr. Clarkson's freedom techniques?
Robert is very knowledgeable and we hope he is around forever. I don’t see anyone that would push people to work together like he does. I see his name in circles of other organizations and he has had his hand in many associations from the east coast to the west coast. Sometimes he has just given advice and other groups he was instrumental in getting started. He is definitely trustworthy and provides valuable information.
We’ve had more success by following Robert’s recommendation and not filing any returns as opposed to filing the zero returns. He is able to back up everything he says. Patriots always seem to succeed in their situations when they receive assistance from him. You just have to be sure to do your own homework. It is wonderful knowing him and working with him.
Thanks so much, Steve, for taking time to be active in the Patriot Network and for your time today.

Featured Product: Kuglin Transcript
One of the most unexpected, high-profile wins of the past few years is the August 2002 victory of FedEx pilot Vernice Kuglin, pictured at left and below. It's not every day that a lovely all-American lady is found behind the controls of a commercial airplane, or that anyone in such a well-paying job stands up the the IRS, or that she wins -- but that is exactly what happened in her case!
And who but your Patriot Network would hunt down the transcript of her trial and make it easy for you to order and peruse it in DVD form? Order yours today and read how the courts were unable to accomplish their most keenly-felt goal -- crushing the economic life out of a working person.
Here is how your Patriot Cannon editor put it in his Dixie Diary newspaper feature:
"As you may have heard, our main anti-IRS thesis comes out in the national media today as never before. In a Memphis federal court, Vernice B. (Vernie) Kuglin beats the IRS as the jury ruled the income tax illegal, and is found not guilty of six counts of tax evasion and willful failure to file. She has spent years writing the IRS demanding to know what law makes her liable for income taxes
"After the jury is excused, the U.S. Attorney demands that the judge order the defendant to `file her forms, pay her taxes and obey the law.' The judge replies `Sir, I don't work for the IRS.' It is a distinctly Southern moment -- don’t doubt it." [edited]
Suddenly, there she was -- in a few headlines (e.g. Fox News) across the nation, and her landmark ruling is mentioned in a pitiful 1,000 webpages today. But we are going to make sure history remembers her. By buying this product, you can tell your grandchildren you were there when freedom hung in the balance and the IRS was finally put out of business by ordinary folks like you and your fellow Patriot Network members!

Tax Resistance Increasing Slightly, says IRS...
Billion$ not being Paid -- the "Tax Gap"
(reported in the Orange County Register and other journals)
The initial tax gap findings came from a three-year study called the National Research Program (NRP), which audited 46,000 individual income tax returns for 2001. The preliminary results determined a range for the tax gap, which will be refined into final, more detailed estimates by the end of this year. The NRP study includes updated research only on individuals, not corporations.
What comprises the tax gap. The tax gap has three components: underreporting of income, underpayment of taxes and non-filing of returns. The new study shows modest deterioration in tax compliance among individual taxpayers since the last study was conducted in '88.
Preliminary findings of the study include the following:
--Underreporting accounts for more then 80% of the total tax gap, with non-filing and underpayment at about 10% each.
--Individual income tax is the single largest source of the annual tax gap, accounting for about two-thirds of the total.
--More than 80% of individual underreporting comes from understated income, not overstated deductions.
--Most of the understated income comes from business activities, not wages or investment income.
--Compliance is highest where there is third-party reporting or withholding.
(((Clarkson comments: These figures grossly underestimate the number of non-filers, who did not fill out their questionnaire. Also, the official irs position is that all illegal immigrants fill out all tax forms and file them on time.)))

VOIP: PN Leadership Offers You Great New Opportunity to Ditch BellSouth... and Save Money
by Dr. Robert B. Clarkson
When you pay your telephone bill you are paying unfair and expensive taxes, including the infamous "Al Gore Tax" where you subsidize the phone bill of the lazy, the drunks and the druggies.
The Bell companies make generous donations of your money to gay, communist and extreme left wing groups.
Now, you can escape the excessive taxes (which violate your Freedom of Speech Rights) and greatly lower your phone bill. You can sign up thru me for VOIP, the newest and most cost-effective telecom service ever.
Contact me pronto if you are interested. This is a new way to fight unlawful taxes and the NWO. Plus much cheaper phone service and a few bucks for Patriots who tell other folks about this new product.
VOIP is very easy and simple to attach to existing phone lines. You do not need a computer and you keep your phone number.
The people who founded this telecom company 20 years ago have been friends of me and my family for 4 decades.
Do examine their website:
https://www.championcommunications.biz/kris
Note: Dr. Clarkson's last BellSouth phone bill included the following information. Thus, anyone who keeps doing business with this sinister mega-corporation will be gouged for the support of some who prefer drinking, doping and loafing to earning a living:
Low-income support may be available for your home telephone service. Lifeline and Link-Up provide assistance with monthly recurring and connection charges to qualified residential telephone subscribers. These programs make telephone service more accessible to those who otherwise might not be able to afford it.
You may be eligible if you currently receive income-based benefits from a plan such as Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), Food Stamps or Medicaid.
Call 1-888-757-6500 or visit the Lifeline/Link-up website www.lifelinesupport.org for more information. IF you know others who might qualify, please tell them Bell South may be able to help them get service at the reduced rate.

FREEDOM is not Free!
