Crimes and Corruption of the New World Order News

Officials say Cohoes man arrested this week is among supporters of couple who are defying U.S. government

First published: Friday, September 14, 2007
COHOES — A local man, arrested by federal authorities in a multi-state raid this week, was among four men who spent time in New Hampshire, providing a convicted tax-evading couple with food, weapons and support, authorities said Thursday.

In coordinated roundups in four states Wednesday, officials swooped down on Daniel J. Riley and three others named in an indictment returned by a federal grand jury in New Hampshire.

Riley, 39, of Cohoes was among the friends of Ed and Elaine Brown, who have barricaded themselves in their secluded Plainfield, N.H., home since being convicted by a federal jury in January of scheming to avoid federal income taxes by hiding $1.9 million in income between 1996 and 2003. In April, they were sentenced in absentia to more than five years in prison.

Riley, a gun collector, was confronted in the driveway of his home at 62 Younglove Ave. and tried to run but got only about 15 yards, law enforcement officials said. He is accused of obstructing justice and being an accessory to the Browns’ crimes.

“We were aware of him based on what was going on up in New Hampshire,” Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal Ted Gloo said Thursday. He said local marshals were waiting for the go-ahead from New Hampshire authorities.

Riley is “an associate and supporter of Ed Brown, and that’s very well known not only from what we learned from an investigation but from his (Brown’s) own Web site,” said Gloo, who is stationed in Syracuse but was in Albany for part of this week.

“We got word about a week ago that an arrest warrant was going to be issued at which time we would act on it,” Gloo said. It was issued Tuesday and sent to Albany. “We put a plan together as to what we were going to do in conjunction to what they had going on in other locations.”

Taken from the Cohoes property were several weapons, the marshal said, including a .50-caliber high-powered rifle and several assault rifles, including AK-47s. He said he was unaware of any handguns.

“We are still trying to determine with the ATF the legality of him having those,” Gloo said.

Riley has no felony convictions, so he could own some of the weapons legally, authorities said.

The 2 p.m. raid was led by federal marshals, including members of the Capital District Fugitive Task Force. Assisting marshals were Cohoes police and the State Police violent felony warrant squad. The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives was called in after the weapons were found.

Riley, who lists his occupation as electrician/handyman, has visited the Browns in recent months, officials said. The couple, who are holed up in their mountaintop, concrete-fortified home, has provisions to sustain them for more than a year and have threatened a gun battle should authorities attempt to take them.

Power has been cut off to the Browns’ home in an attempt to disable their telephone and Internet service. But authorities believe the house has generators, and the Browns have kept in touch with sympathizers through prepaid cellphones supplied by many of their supporters, officials said. The Browns’ home sits on an isolated dirt road and includes a turret that offers a 360-degree view of the property.

Marshals nationwide have had their eye on the Browns’ home as well as on sympathizers who support the anti-government movement and regularly visit the couple and carry their message that there is no law requiring them to pay taxes.

In June, Riley visited the Browns. While walking the couple’s dog near the home, he was arrested by marshals. After being detained for a short period, he was released without being charged.

Federal authorities said Riley’s criminal past includes low-level convictions, none of them felonies. After his arrest this week, he was arraigned before Magistrate Judge Randolph Treece in Albany and immediately extradited to New Hampshire to face the indictment.

In addition to the accessory after the fact charge, Riley and the others were charged with conspiracy to impede or injure a law enforcement officer, possession and use of a firearm in relation to a crime of violence and conspiracy to commit offenses against the United States.

Also taken into custody during the raids were Cirino Gonzales, 30, of Alice, Texas; Jason Gerhard, 22, of Brookhaven, Suffolk County; and Robert Wolffe, 50, of Randolph, Vt. Gonzales was arrested in his hometown, Gerhard at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., and Wolffe in Hartford, Vt.

The following was posted by a friend on July 29, 2007 at 07:14hrs…

About one hour ago about 35 shots were fired at Ed and Elaine Brown’s
House. Everyone is OK, but very frightened. No shots were fired by Ed and Elaine Brown.

The people in the house are asking all people that are willing to fight to grab they’re [sic] guns and get there to back them up. If you are going to act, this is the time. This is for real. If you go , your live [sic] is at risk..

It is assumed that the road is blocked to the house.

They just did a recon mission, and there are agents on the property.

It is suspected that this is a probing mission, but everyone is in a defensive posture.

YouTube Direct Ed & Elaine Brown vs the NWO

Following is the text of a letter that was sent anonymously to Ed and Elaine, which they have now posted to their MySpace blog:

The tax code and law that requires a US citizen to pay income tax is one I would love to see, that which requires myself and millions of others to pay income taxes. If the United States Government and IRS and US Marshal Service wish to quickly quiet this growing storm, why not just simply produce this law? Produce that which the Brown’s simply ask for? Simple isn’t it?
The more I read and educate myself on this subject, the more I tend to side with Edward and Elaine Brown. When I first saw and heard Edward and Elaine Brown speak I half expected to see a disheveled, crazy, kooky oddball couple that rattled off Bible quotes and “Praise the Lords” every other sentence, ranting and raving anti- government sentiments, just another couple of unstable lunatics whining and complaining about OUR corrupt government and unfair taxes. Not the case at all, Edward and Elaine Brown are both articulate ,intelligent,educated, likable ,stable, good natured people. They both seem to have their heads on very straight, and are having a tough time being discredited by our holier then thou government. At this point I expect the gov’t to try on a daily basis to discredit and humiliate the Browns into submission. Into bowing down and giving up. It has already started, electric services cut, telephone services cut, supplies cut , post several intimidating officers EVERYWHERE around the perimeter. Snipers, dogs, automatic weapons. This is being treated almost as a hostage situation. Why? The only one being held hostage here is the United States Constitution. You would think Edward and Elaine Brown were terrorists, or head of a major drug cartel, or mass murderers on the run. BUT they are not,they simply want to see a law, to know how that law works. They are fighting for their beliefs, fighting for what they feel is right .This has grown out of control, there are so many more issues much more relevant then this. Immigration, terrorism, poverty. Instead the US gov’t wishes to make an example of the Browns. To squash them and show America what happens when you do not pay taxes, how harsh a penalty. How asinine to say the least. I can just imagine the resources spent already to bring this lawless couple to justice. How ignorant. The money spent on officers, surveillance, fuel, food, etc. has already rivaled if not surpassed what the Browns owed in taxes already! I can just shake my head. Where and when will this circus end? When the US Government thinks it has “won”? When the ” Browns “lose”. By all means define “winning” to me , especially in US gov’t logic. Edward Brown dead? Elaine Brown dead? Problem swept under rug? News media no longer televising anything remotely related to tax evasion? I think this incident alone will have a very profound impact on our deteriorating image of our government. I see more and more ” I love my country, BUT fear my government” bumper stickers. This is a growing sentiment. I admire Edward Brown for having enough insight to prepare for this. To be “green”. To listen to his instincts and prepare for the worst. This is going to get a lot worse before it gets better, I’m afraid. I hate to say but I think Edward Brown and others will die for their beliefs. Which they are fully prepared to do. And which is sad that it will probably resort to needless deaths. I truly hope it opens America’s eyes and their deaths won’t be in vain. I always thought that was what the US Constitution was based on? Freedom, justice, to get away from England’s severe taxation. Haven’t we become that which we once fought to get away from over 230 years ago? How is this is any different? People speaking out against taxation should not be getting persecuted for it. I find myself following this story very closely. I’m very interested in the outcome, how this will affect me, and the United States at large. Edward and Elaine Brown refuse to pay income taxes because of a law they say that cannot be produced,defined, or clarified . They have said on more then one occasion, if I am required by law to pay income tax by all means show it to me , “Show me the Law”, and to be honest I can’t blame them. I myself would like to see this law as well, that which requires me to pay taxes. Why pay a tax no one can clearly show? Not even the Internal Revenue Service? , how can a law be 100% enforced without clearly defining said law? If you are arrested in the United States of America you have the right to counsel/ legal representation, you have the right to remain silent, you have many rights, you have the right to be informed what law you have allegedly broken, under what tax code does it state we are REQUIRED to pay income tax? So many people for so long have paid taxes WITHOUT question. Complacency has taken over, we did as our fathers, and grandfathers did before us. No questions asked. We thought we were doing the right thing, that which was the law.That which was written down in a book… somewhere…But where? SO to solve this problem we need to simply write this law , right? Write it down that WE must pay income tax, easy right? WRONG. Taxes based on personal income are unconstitutional . Maybe that is why this has become such a muddled unclear subject of late. It CANNOT and WILL NOT be clearly defined by ANYONE, not the IRS, not the Supreme Court, Edward and Elaine Brown are just the most recent of which have asked this question of our omnipotent government. For so many years we have not questioned that which needs to be questioned. WE as a whole, as a population felt the US gov’t in general was looking out for our best interests for OUR value and beliefs. I think that has changed, I think it changed many years ago, before Vietnam.
It seems to me that freedom of speech seems to be on trial here as well. Go ask Ed and Elaine Brown about free speech. The Federal Government seems to be keeping a pretty tight lid on THEIR free speech BECAUSE they chose to speak out and acted upon their constitutional rights. Now Ed Brown is barricaded inside his home, no phone, no power, and Federal marshals with armored vehicles right outside his door. BECAUSE he chose to freely express his beliefs and interpretations of our US Constitution and is willing to die for them…It has been rumored that their home has been shot at, friends have been shot at and arrested for unjust cause. All because they wish for the government to simply produce a law they have enforced for years and years. Which they cannot do because it does not seem to exist…How is that for free speech?
It has been briefly in the news and then forgotten, it will be another Waco or Ruby Ridge incident most likely. “Bad people disobeying the US government”. BUT their is a difference here, the Internet , the world wide web and computers are more prevalent, and people can find out information on their own, view things for themselves WITHOUT it being sliced, diced, chopped and edited. WITHOUT the biased opinions and views of various news stations and agencies. In the Waco and Ruby Ridge incidents we were at the mercy of the local or national news agencies and their affiliates. Now we can research subjects such as Edward and Elaine Brown on the Internet for ourselves. We can form our own opinions and ideas of what is occurring without having an aging anchorman or woman force feed us biased information. That is the difference between Ruby Ridge and Waco and this incident. I feel many are watching to see just what happens and make sure everything is 100% absolutely done by the book. This is not over yet. I honestly hope no one has to be killed or injured over their beliefs, but it looks like lines have been drawn in the sand. Especially by the unforgiving Federal Government…

We may think we have it bad over here with ever more repressive (and unnecessary) “anti-terror” legislation, increasing numbers of cctv cameras on our streets, ID cards just around the corner, and the nanny state dictating how we should live our lives in ever more personal areas.

But, true to form, the Americans always have to do things on a grander scale.
So now we have the case of Ed and Elaine Brown, two New Hampshire residents, victims of unbelievably disproportionate State intimidation.
Indeed, “intimidation” is far too weak a word to use.

Amazingly it doesn’t appear that any of the media here in the UK have picked this up, yet its happening now, even as I post this.

The question I have to ask, given how closely our own Government clings to the shirt-tails of the rogue regime presently installed in the White House, is how long before we see something similar over here?

And lets not forget Juan Carlos Menendez!

One thing’s absolutely certain - if another mini Waco’s to be avoided its imperative that as much media attention as possible is focussed upon this.

And whilst there may not be a great deal we here in the UK can do, at the very least we can phone a few folk to let them know the eyes of the world are on them…

Update 09.06.07 04:02hrs

From Troy LaPlante’s Blog…

I have been following the case of Ed and Elaine Brown for months. They are a couple from New Hampshire in their 60’s. He is a retired exterminator, she is a dentist. They have been protesting the federal income tax system for a decade. I fully understand their protest, since I have read extensively on the subject and feel as they do. The federal income tax is an illegal, unjust tax. The 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was questionably ratified in 1913. There is also a disputable requirement to file tax returns. The tax code also is not clear as to the requirement for individuals to pay such taxes.

The first person I knew about that stood as the Browns do is Irwin Schiff. He has been screwed over by the government quite a bit over income tax disputes. Now the Browns are literally under siege in a Ruby Ridge type scenario.

There are recent reports in the Union Leader and the Concord Monitor. I have also been watching the story on the Brown’s myspace page. Check out their blog activities on the myspace page for their side of things. Also, they have a blog. Here is their web site.

Here is an interesting video made last night by a friend of theirs who was shot at by either SWAT teams or soldiers surrounding the Brown’s property. If it is all true, then the siege has already turned violent with shots being fired, tazering a citizen, abduction of a citizen, and attempting to turn him against the Brown family. Sorry, but I consider this to be tyranny.

Another problem I have is that the Browns are non-violent offenders. They are tax protesters, for crying out loud! They are not murderers, rapists, drug dealers, arms dealers, or any such thing. The government is spending more money to lay siege to this couple’s home and business than they would be getting in revenue if they just paid the alleged tax debt. This is asinine.

Here is a video by the US Marshall’s service.

Here is an interview with Ed Brown.

I tried to embed the video of the dog walker who was snatched by the US Marshall Service, but Google video is hassling me about it. I gave the link earlier.

I don’t agree with everything that Ed Brown stands for. I realize that the government has said that he and his wife are convicted felons. I realize that he is a tremendous zealot in his views. I sympathize with him quite a bit. I have a serious problem with the income tax system. I believe that the government is corrupt in many respects. They don’t respect personal liberties.

The government is spending much more money to apprehend these people than they would probably be getting in tax revenue.

Another issue that bothers me is that we are told that states can and should do nothing about illegal aliens because it is a federal issue. Here we have federal tax dodgers being swarmed by state law enforcement agencies…but it is supposed to be a federal issue, right? What a double standard.

I find the firing of shots at a Brown family friend and supporter and hitting him with a stun gun inexcusable.

I will be watching this story closely. Posted by troylaplante on Friday, June 08, 2007 at 3:50 PM

And this from the New Hampshire Examiner…

A day after heavily armed officers surrounded his fortified compound, a convicted tax evader said Friday he believes federal agents planned to raid his home before they were discovered by one of his supporters.Federal authorities said they were only guarding Ed and Elaine Brown’s 110-acre spread to protect against violence while they seized the woman’s dental practice in neighboring Lebanon to help satisfy a federal court judgment.

Exclusive: Federal Assault On Brown Home Was Aborted

Man fired upon and captured tells story of being ordered to lie to media by FBI and cover up botched raid
Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones
Prison Planet

Friday, June 8, 2007

Danny Riley, the man who was shot at and arrested after he discovered U.S. Marshals stalking Ed Brown’s home, has revealed the amazing truth behind how he was threatened with 15 years in jail by the FBI unless he lied to the media to cover-up the fact that yesterday’s events were a planned siege and not merely to serve a warrant as authorities had claimed.

Riley related in a video blog late yesterday how he had unwittingly stumbled across U.S. Marshals preparing to raid the Brown property as he left the house to take Ed Brown’s dog for a walk. Riley was confronted by two men in camouflage who fired two shots at him as he attempted to run away, but was then tackled by 12 other armed Marshals who tasered and handcuffed him.

What happened after was carried in our article this morning, but the whole story exposes how the FBI had planned to orchestrate a violent raid on the Brown’s property, before aborting the siege and attempting to use Riley, under intimidation that he would be jailed or even killed, as a go-between to sell the cover-story to the media that the authorities were merely serving a warrant.

Riley now fears for his life but has shown tremendous courage in coming forward to lift the lid and expose the lies that the New Hampshire police told the media in downplaying yesterday’s events and hiding the fact that they were planning a raid.

Riley tells us that after he was arrested and taken to the Lebanon Police Department, he was told that authorities had been conducting surveillance of the Brown’s home on Wednesday and that they knew the Brown’s owned a 50 caliber rifle because they had observed Riley using it on the Brown’s shooting range, while a squadron of snipers lay in wait should they have been discovered, aiming guns at Riley as he was being watched.

Riley was interrogated by two FBI officials who called themselves Phil and Mark, and was threatened with 15 years imprisonment if he told the media that the FBI were involved in the aborted raid on the Brown’s property.

Riley was then ordered to lie to the media and tell them that during his morning walk, he had not seen armed U.S. Marshals but plain clothed police officers who were merely serving a warrant for the seizure of the Brown’s dental office 10 miles away, and that the officers had simply tackled and not shot at or tasered him after he ran. Riley was told that if he didn’t lie to the media he was facing certain prison time or even death.

Danny Riley shows where he was tasered by U.S. Marshals in a video blog released yesterday.Riley was then dropped off back at the Brown’s home after the media had been allowed to approach the house. In an act of astounding courage, Riley ignored the media as they yelled questions at him and headed straight into the house to tell Ed Brown that the FBI had ordered him to lie.Riley then emerged from the house and told the authorities what they wanted to hear - that he had relayed the cover story to the media. Riley was then dropped off at a bus station and told by authorities that if he returned to the scene he would either be imprisoned or killed.Despite the fact that Riley bravely ignored the threats and did not relay the cover-story, the local media still bought the police’s explanation that they had never planned to raid the house and that, after erecting roadblocks a mile around, evacuating neighbors, cutting the Brown’s phone and power lines and deploying 6 helicopters along with a SWAT team and APC’s, they were merely serving a warrant for an empty property 10 miles away.Danny Riley is risking his life by telling the truth - that New Hampshire police, led by the FBI, had conducted prior surveillance of the property and were in place about to launch a violent siege against Ed and Elaine Brown before Riley’s chance encounter with U.S. Marshals led officials to abort the raid and manufacture a cover-story which they then tried to intimidate Riley into selling to the local media.

This represents open fraud, deceit and extortion on behalf of New Hampshire police as well as the FBI and Danny Riley’s testimony demands immediate attention from national as well as local media in the New Hampshire area.

Question: Why are the mainstream media over here still occupied with rubbish about “Big Brother” and Paris Hilton, yet no mention of this issue that could have profound implications for us all?
