Patriot Resource List

version 1.1

January 7th, 1995

Okay, I'm going to start off with resources I can strongly recommend from 

personal experience or relationships with someone with a good experience and 

then branch out into whatever I have left for resources, which often amounts 

to not much more than names and numbers. 



A warning: You may find, upon examination of the "patriot movement" (as they 

like to refer to themselves), genuinely valuable insights on questions of 

monetary policy and law, and at the same time, false and outrageous views 

regarding Jews, blacks, homosexuals or other generally disliked groups. This 

is a consistent pattern in American populism going back at least as far as 

Father Coughlin, who exhibits a striking metamorphosis over the course of 

his career from a primary concern with social justice and monetary reform to 

a blatant anti-Jewish stance. I think it is important for all those 

concerned with this question to explore, analyze, and attempt to understand 

this dynamic, lest monetary reformers and sovereign defenders of rights be 

tarred for all time by a continued association with the spectre of blind, 

unreasoning hatred. Patriots for Liberty explicitly states that they do not 

(as a group) condone such attacks, even though the same wackos I just 

mentioned all showed up in droves and PFL itself associates strongly with 

the John Birch Society. Another common direction is that many of these 

groups are highly religious. In any respect, deal with it; they have 

valuable information even if their prejudices drive you up the wall.



On a related topic, I have given a "Level of Religiousness" for each person

or organization listed. Since I personally am a natural law atheist, I give

more credence to legal arguments that do not rely upon religion. I also

believe that judges are more likely to listen to arguments that are grounded

in solid, objective legal fact, and not subjective religious ideas.



Prices are sometimes given in Federal Reserve Notes (FRN's) and sometimes in

gold and/or silver.



There are two existing mailing lists for discussion of these topics:



The Frog Farm (frog-farm-request@blizzard.lcs.mit.edu)

Patriots (patriots@kaiwan.com)



Relevant articles and an FAQ (Frequently Asked-for Quotes) can be had from

[I would like to add here all relevant FTP sites, WWW servers, etc., that may

be of interest to those studying the topic of sovereignty. If you know of

any, please send them in! I'd also like to add a brief paragraph on the

chronic lack of clue exhibited by those who claim that only "white males" can

claim the status of sovereign...]









George Gordon's School of Common Law

P.O. Box 297

Isabella, MO

65676

1-417-273-4967 or 417-273-4772

(every day except Sundays sundown to sundown)



George has been defending his rights in court for almost twelve years now. A

small businessman who taught himself to fight back when Big Brother put him 

out of business, he founded Barrister's Inne School of Common Law in Boise, 

Idaho with Roger Elvick. As a result, the city of Boise stopped pulling over

automobiles without license plates; it was getting too expensive to 

prosecute cases they almost always lost. In his original 1982 videotaped 

lessons, George said that many people told him that he wasn't long for this 

world. But here it is, eleven years later, and he's still succeeding! His 

classes cost one (1) ounce of gold per week, with gold at 500.00 FRN's per 

ounce. Write or call for a catalog of books and list of classes. Good stuff: 

Scott McGee's "Do You Speak Credit?", 14 pp., 1 silver dollar or 6 FRN's; 

Walter M. Froengen's "Legal Quotes 1", 88 pp., 2 silver dollars or 12 FRN's; 

Paul Conley's "Zoning and the Property Owner", 104 pp., 6 silver dollars or 

33 FRN's; "Trial Preparation", 177 pp., 6 silver dollars or 33 FRN's; and 

James C. Cissell's "Proving Federal Crimes", 252 pp., 6 silver dollars or 33 

FRN's. Level of Religiousness: Reasonable; explicitly ties into legal 

defenses in some areas.



Note on Gordon himself: This guy is amazing. He follows ALL 759 laws of

Moses to the letter and runs a farm where he teaches his school. He is 

extremely articulate and hopefully he got over his previous problems. If you 

do have a talk with him, ask him about Gordon vs. State, 108 Idaho 178, 697 

P.2d 1192; State vs. Von Schmidt, 109 Idaho 736; and State vs. Gibson, 108 

Idaho 202, 697 P.2d 1216. These are all cases which appear to involve Mr. 

Gordon and his school and I am interested in what the outcome was and how he 

managed to avoid problems like what happened in those cases later on (and he 

obviously has).



Don't worry about Roger Elvick much, except perhaps sending him a letter if 

you get into the mood for it. He's a prisoner of war, currently being held 

captive by the federal government for fighting their unlawful dictatorship. 

His own Nitty Gritty School of Common Law was even better than George 

Gordon's school, but he is pretty much permanently out of it now.





Bruce G. McCarthy

HC-62, Box 375

Smithville, OK

74957



The author of "MSO: Key To Ownership", an excellent example of tacit 

procuration against administrative agencies, dealing with vehicle license 

plates and registration. Send $0.50 in pre-1965 U.S. silver coin, or 5.00 in 

postage stamps, for the two booklets "The Pernicious Treadmill of Credit" 

and "Theocratic v. Democratic Money". Level of Religiousness: Somewhat more 

pervasive than George Gordon, but still quite reasonable overall. If nothing 

else, get the book anyways for humor value.





National Commodity and Barter Association

8000 E. Girard Ave., Suite 215-S

Denver, CO 80231



First year membership is 280 FRN's. With it, they send you all their 

research as a giant multi-volume "encyclopaedia" set. They also have 

extensive legal services and have been actively creating the precedents in 

the area of income tax that most of the other people mentioned here are 

using. They obviously also offer banking and barter services. If you can 

afford it, I would give Barrister's Inne, NCBA, and FES my personal approval 

as the best that money can buy.



The following information is taken directly from an NCBA brochure sent to me

in January of 1991.



I would call these facts to your attention first:



 - The NCBA considers it a Good Thing to be "politically involved",

   i.e., being registered to vote and voting, stirring up "grass roots"

   action, etc., whereas the Frog Farm's position has always been that

   free persons do not need to vote, and are actually better off not

   voting at all, since "rights are not subject to a vote" or to the

   whims of a majority.



 - You should remember that if you are a "member" of a "group" or

   "organization", your status before the law changes.



 - Never allow anyone to represent you, do not represent yourself,

   DEFEND yourself. NCBA offers (among other things) information

   regarding the few lawyers who will operate on this sort of

   level. But one of the Frog Farm's many golden rules is to NEVER

   give power of attorney to anyone, except to a very limited

   degree, and even then only under dire circumstances.



With this in mind, let's let the brochure speak:





GREETINGS FROM THE NCBA





The National Commodity and Barter Association is the strongest First

Amendment association in the nation today offering vital services to

members. The NCBA is a political redress, first amendment association,

formed for effective redress of greivances as provided for and protected

by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. It was founded in 1978

by John Grandbouche, who remained its director until his death in May

of 1986. The NCBA is now under the leadership of Mr. John Voss. It is,

by definition, a First Amendment association dedicated to educating all

Americans and helping them exercise and protect their individual rights.



In numerous confrontations with the government, particularly with the

Internal Revenue Service, the NCBA has consistently had its claims

upheld, most recently in the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals where the

NCBA challenged and defeated the IRS over the use of an illegal search

warrant issued upon its main office in Denver. (Voss, Grandbouche, et.

al., v. Agents Bergsgaard, et. al., 774 F2d 402, 1985.) The court

stated, among other things... "Certainly, the organization's advocation

of modifying or abolishing our country's tax system is a legitimate

activity. Indeed, it is an activity protected by the first amendment."

NCBA director John Voss, who believes that he, as a private individual,

was not and is not required to file income tax returns and that his

wages did not constitute taxable income, was charged by the IRS with

willfully failing to file income tax returns for years 1979-1980. He

was found not guilty by a district court jury.



The NCBA carries the fight for individual rights forward on many fronts:



 o The right of parents to home educate their children as an alternative

   to public schooling is only one area of activity within the association.

   With the high illiteracy rates among our young people and our public

   schools suffering from a decline in educational quality, is it any

   wonder why increasing numbers of concerned parents are choosing home

   instruction for their children?



 o The NCBA is active in putting a stop to the tyrannical activities of

   the IRS against the American citizen, and ridding America of the

   present, counter-productive system of income taxation.



 o Members have access to some of the best legal help in the country for

   defending themselves from the illegal and oppressive tactics of

   government. [Frog Note: No, government actions are not illegal --

   they're done with all due form of law. But they're UNLAWFUL -- because

   they do not have the SUBSTANCE of law.] This includes the Mutual

   Assistance Plan (MAP) which provides financial assistance to NCBA

   members needing a licensed attorney or to those wishing to defend

   their rights pro se.



 o NCBA provides Freedom Books to its members which contain over 60

   chapters on Constitutional Law and Taxation, home education litigation,

   administrative procedure, tax court, criminal and civil litigation,

   history and much more. These books are constantly updated and revised

   and are worth much more than the price of membership.



 o In addition, NCBA encourages its members to become involved in the

   political process by running for public office or serving on community

   action committees. [Frog Note -- remember what happens then? You give

   up your status as a freeman in exchange for limited powers, privileges

   and immunities, under contract (Constitutions) as a Public SERVANT.

   And that's fine, if you really WANT to...]





Political action to many people means writing your congressman and supporting

candidates for public office. To others, it means effective courtroom action.

[Yep!] Another effective action is to participate in an exchange rather than a

commercial bank, in order to regain control of your financial affairs.

[Actually, this should preferably be done BEFORE you engage in any courtroom

action -- it's called "judgment proofing" yourself.]



Mr. Grandbouche established the NCBA without government sanction or license.

His attitude of, "Do what is right and let the consequence follow," has

brought consequences that have resulted in significant victories in the courts

for the NCBA.



First and most importantly, we assert the right to associate without

government identification numbers, licenses or permits. This is a fundamental

right of natural born persons in our free Republic.



Secondly, we assert the natural right to make agreements and contracts between

each other without the permission of bureaucratic would-be masters.



Thirdly, we claim the right to associate and contract privately. The right to

privacy is essential in a free society, and poses a threat only to a corrupt,

prying government.



These three basic rights, combined with NCBA court victories, illuminate the

once dark path leading back to the basics. You can exercise these rights in

two simple steps:



 1. You become a member of the NCBA, which is "a legitimate First Amendment

    association".



 2. You make a private contract with an authorized NCBA associate to receive

    funds from you, buy and sell gold and silver for you and make

    disbursements of federal reserve "notes" and other commodity at your

    direction.



The member using the exchange properly has little need for a commercial

checking account and can remove themselves from direct personal contact with

the destructive federal reserve banks, their only contact with such entities

being indirect and through NCBA. This is political redress against the federal

reserve and an exercise of the right of privacy in financial affairs to which

everyone is entitled.



NCBA services are not available to the general public and are therefore not

subject to public regulations. The National Commidity Exchange exists without

government permission. Any NCE operator will be pleased to act as an agent in

receiving deposits, buying or selling commodity and making disbursements at

the member's direction with the following understandings:



 1. NCE exists to facilitate a member's inherent and inalienable right to

    privacy. You must become an NCBA member and remain one to continue as a

    participant in the exchange.



 2. It is understood that NCE does not exist to shield any illegal activity or

    funds derived from an illegal activity, nor does it provide a shelter from

    lawful obligations.



 3. The contact between you and the NCE agent is a common law contract.

    Accordingly, NCE must conduct transactions with individual, natural born

    persons who are also NCBA members, and may not contract with juristic

    persons, trusts, corporations or other artificial entities.







                          MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION

Free Enterprise Society

300 West Shaw Ave., Suite 205

Clovis, CA 93612



These guys are sort of like the "Loompanics" of law. Lots of neat nifty 

books in their catalog. They also offer private banking services (your money 

does not devaluate continuously when deposited with them, unlike regular 

banks), services for getting out of driver's licenses, and several other 

legal aid services as well as classes and seminars. The catalog is free and 

also includes several articles of use in each one; it doubles as their 

newsletter. Essentially, these guys are a cheap NCBA.





Our Ageless Constitution

PO Box 2909

Asheboro, NC 27204

PO Box 6509

San Pedro, CA 90734

213-515-3369



Otto offers _The Best Kept Secret: Taxpayer vs. Non-Taxpayer_ and _If You

United_.





National Citizen Education

9205 S.E. Clackamas Road, Suite 435

switch", and other topics.





Irwin Schiff

60 Skiff St., Suite 300

similar nature.





Cornerstones of Freedom

PO Box 29265, Dept. T-1-D

Honolulu, Hawaii 96820



They have collected opinion letters from noted tax attorneys, CPA's, tax 

experts, and language experts who have all stated numerous legal reasons why 

you can't be required to liable to file or pay income tax. They offer it as 

supporting documentation if you want to disclaim "willful" failure to file, 

as in the recent Cheek vs. US case.





The Upright Ostrich

PO Box 11691

Milwaukee, WI 53211



Another newsletter that I have heard extremely high recommendations for, 

although I have not personally seen it.





PEGS Bookstore

PO Box 9337

Missoula, Montana 69807



Jeffrey Dickstein is an excellent tax lawyer and they carry his books,

used in the articles I have written.





Remnant Church Library

4015 Clinton Ave.

Klamath Falls, OR

97603

1-503-883-8243



Their videotapes are rather expensive, but are real meat and potatoes 

hardcore detail on law. Level of Religiousness: Very explicit, but not 

overbearing; very friendly folks, a father-and-son team.





Vic Lockman

Box 1916

Ramona, CA

92065



Produces cute comic booklets that at first glance look like Jack Chick 

comics. However, instead of cheap and stupid moralizing, Vic writes very 

easily comprehensible explanations of many of the legal difficulties facing 

those who wish to exercise Rights. Good stuff includes "Money, Banking and 

Usury", for 3.95 FRN's. For 8.00 FRN's, you can get 50 copies of his 11-page 

"Social Security: A Crumbling Fraud", which you can randomly distribute to 

the sheeple and maybe educate a few of them. Certainly more productive than 

those ridiculous Chick comics. Level of Religiousness: About the same as 

Gordon.





Laissez Faire Books

942 Howard St.

San Francisco, CA

94103

1-800-326-0996



Widest available selection of libertarian, history, philosophy, economic and

Randian books, audio and video tapes; publishes regular informative catalog 

with book reviews. Good stuff: Frederic Bastiat's "The Law", "The Lysander 

Spooner Reader", Randy E. Barnett's "The Rights Retained by the People", 

Albert Jay Nock's "Our Enemy the State", Adam Cash's "Guerilla Capitalism: 

How to Practice Enterprise in an Unfree Economy" and "How to Do Business 

'Off the Books'" and Grace Llewellyn's "The Teenage Liberation Handbook".



Recommendation: Snag _The Law_ from the networks and at least read that. If 

you are a bleeding heart liberal and managed to understand what you are 

reading after that, I pity you for being so stupid. Give copies to all your 

liberal friends, too, so you can at least carry on reasonable conversation 

with them.





International Society for Individual Liberty

1800 Market St.

San Francisco, CA

94102



Publishes "Freedom Network News", a compilation of worldwide events relating

to (what else) freedom. Excellent tool for networking with people all over 

the globe (pen pals in foreign countries are great!).





Michigan Bar Association (Common Law)

28600 Gratiot Ave.

Roseville, MI 48066



They have a study group? that meets every Wednesday evening at 7pm at the 

above location. I still have NO information about them, but if I knew 

anything about them, I might show up even though it's a 4 hour drive (more 

or less) for me.





Justice Times

PO Box 163

Upland, CA 91785



This is a pretty decent magazine in large newspaper format with lots of 

decent references and current news of interest. For those of you who listen 

to Rush Limbaugh or Chuck Harder, one of the regular writers for the Justice 

Times is none other than Oliver North.





Patriots for Liberty

Box 334

Rochester, IN 46975



This is the group I mentioned that is using the administrative remedy and a 

letter-response method that I mentioned earlier with a 100% success rate in 

dealing with the IRS. They ask for donations (say 5-10 FRNs for a year or 

so) to cover their printing costs on their newsletter, which comes out about 

4-5 times a year, but irregularly. The newsletter is constantly FULL of new 

information and additional references and contacts. I highly recommend their 

newsletter if for no other reason than that.

Antioch, Illinois

60002

Fax: (708) 838-0316

Surveillance Hotline: (708) 356-9646
