New Hampshire Tax Protesters in Stand-off with Federal Marshals Part 4
It appears as though the government has taken the next step in the Browns stand-off with federal marshals.
The federal government is attempting to make everyday life for convicted tax evaders Ed and Elaine Brown so uncomfortable they will surrender and begin serving their 63-month federal prison sentence.
Stephen Monier, the U.S. marshal in New Hampshire, today said the government has severed the Browns’ telephone service, Internet access and power to their hilltop home in Plainfield.
However, the Browns are not alone as many other tax protesters have come to be with them, providing them with supplies and weapons. Some declaring they are ready to fight. Plus, the Browns have been preparing for this day for a long time.
He acknowledged, however, that other people are supplying the Browns with laptop computers, providing them with other internet access. Ed Brown also built his home with solar panels and windmills for power and also has backup generators.
The Browns have also fortified their house and built a watchtower in preparation for this day.
Still the government claims they are not planning an attack
But, Monier said, patience is a virtue and the federal government is prepared to wait out the Browns.
“We have no intention of assaulting the house,” he said again today. “We are committed to end this peacefully.”
Ed Brown maintains that last week the government was ready to storm his house and take them out one way or the other.
Last Thursday, dozens of heavily armed federal agents and state troopers, including SWAT teams and military and explosives vehicles, converged on Plainfield. Agents had a court order to enter the West Lebanon building housing Elaine Brown’s dental practice.
That morning, a man walking the Browns’ dog inadvertently came upon a surveillance team of federal agents in camouflage in the woods at the end of the couple’s driveway. He was taken into custody, questioned at length and released hours later uncharged.
Ed Brown said he is convinced the federal agents were going to storm his home that day but Monier denies that.
So the standoff continues and I still have the feeling this is going to end badly.

I believe that they are right and there is no law that says you pay taxes on a federal reserve note.

For what the feds are paying (out of our tax dollars)to keep their agents on duty at the Brown’s home, no doubt will far exceed anything the Brown’s “owe” in taxes. Their main concern is to discourage other informed citizens from evading taxes by bullying the Brown’s. If the Brown’s get away with this, just think of the backlash to the governments continued stealing from American citizens. They can’t let that happen. Try dipping your fingers into the governments pockets and see what happens. They must keep us paying for our own demise.
