[00:00.640 --> 00:01.880]  Welcome to the show.
[00:01.880 --> 00:03.980]  Whether you have some knowledge of law
[00:03.980 --> 00:06.600]  or maybe just from TV and movies,
[00:06.600 --> 00:10.080]  you're likely aware that the government needs a warrant
[00:10.080 --> 00:12.160]  to seize your property.
[00:12.160 --> 00:15.840]  As an example, if the government claims you owe unpaid taxes,
[00:15.840 --> 00:18.520]  government agents can't just break down your door
[00:18.520 --> 00:19.960]  and take your possessions.
[00:19.960 --> 00:21.300]  If they wanna get at what you own,
[00:21.300 --> 00:23.880]  they have to take you to civil court, win the case,
[00:23.880 --> 00:25.240]  get a judgment against you,
[00:25.240 --> 00:28.400]  and then obtain a court order to take your property.
[00:28.400 --> 00:31.560]  Only then can they seize your property.
[00:31.560 --> 00:33.800]  It should be noted that it's essentially
[00:33.800 --> 00:36.320]  the same process you'd have to engage in
[00:36.320 --> 00:37.640]  if someone didn't pay you
[00:37.640 --> 00:39.560]  what was owed in a business agreement.
[00:39.560 --> 00:41.760]  You can't just break into their business
[00:41.760 --> 00:44.280]  and take their property because they didn't pay you.
[00:44.280 --> 00:46.500]  You have to file a civil case, win the case,
[00:46.500 --> 00:48.240]  get a judgment, and then obtain a court order
[00:48.240 --> 00:50.640]  allowing you to take the person's property.
[00:50.640 --> 00:52.200]  In other words, whether it's a guy
[00:52.200 --> 00:53.760]  who showed you in a business deal
[00:53.760 --> 00:56.740]  or someone who failed to stay up to date on taxes,
[00:56.740 --> 00:59.740]  it's essentially the same process.
[00:59.740 --> 01:02.140]  In light of that, how come an IRS employee
[01:02.140 --> 01:04.340]  can pull a form out of his desk drawer,
[01:04.340 --> 01:07.020]  fill it out, mail it to your bank,
[01:07.020 --> 01:09.180]  and the bank will take your property
[01:09.180 --> 01:11.140]  and give it to the IRS?
[01:11.140 --> 01:14.860]  There are probably no more than maybe several hundred people
[01:14.860 --> 01:16.780]  in the country who understand the scam
[01:16.780 --> 01:18.100]  the government and the banks are running
[01:18.100 --> 01:21.660]  on the American people in regard to bank account levies.
[01:21.660 --> 01:24.620]  Stay with me and you're going to be floored
[01:24.620 --> 01:27.940]  by what's taking place behind the curtain.
[01:27.940 --> 01:30.340]  You're also going to learn how easy it is
[01:30.340 --> 01:35.340]  to stop the IRS dead in its tracks.
[01:35.420 --> 01:40.420]  The Dr. Reality Vodcast with Dave Champion.
[01:51.060 --> 01:51.900]  Let's start with this.
[01:51.900 --> 01:53.900]  I'm the author of Income Tax Shattering the Mist,
[01:53.900 --> 01:55.820]  the best-selling book in America
[01:55.820 --> 01:57.220]  that lays out the truth
[01:57.220 --> 01:59.400]  with mountains of incontrovertible evidence
[01:59.400 --> 02:01.380]  that Congress has never imposed the income tax
[02:01.380 --> 02:04.460]  on ordinary, hardworking Americans like you.
[02:04.460 --> 02:05.340]  I think you would agree
[02:05.340 --> 02:08.460]  that very few Americans know that truth.
[02:08.460 --> 02:12.080]  The average American lives in ignorance of tax law
[02:12.080 --> 02:16.220]  and keeps paying because he is too lazy to read a book,
[02:16.220 --> 02:18.160]  such as Income Tax Shattering the Mist,
[02:18.160 --> 02:21.580]  and act on what the law actually says.
[02:21.620 --> 02:24.700]  Thinking is hard, so Americans just keep doing
[02:24.700 --> 02:27.020]  what the government tells them.
[02:27.020 --> 02:28.300]  I should probably mention
[02:28.300 --> 02:29.740]  that I haven't filed an income tax return
[02:29.740 --> 02:33.620]  or paid a penny of income tax in 32 years.
[02:33.620 --> 02:35.120]  I'm the author of the best-selling book
[02:35.120 --> 02:36.740]  in the country on the subject.
[02:36.740 --> 02:38.460]  I speak nationally on it,
[02:38.460 --> 02:42.580]  and I put out prolific content on the subject, such as this.
[02:42.580 --> 02:46.820]  Not only that, but in 2012, DOJ's tax division admitted
[02:46.820 --> 02:49.820]  it possessed several copies of my book.
[02:49.820 --> 02:53.420]  Yet, here I sit, unmolested 32 years
[02:53.420 --> 02:55.900]  after filing my last return.
[02:56.820 --> 03:00.640]  Perhaps I know something you should know.
[03:00.640 --> 03:02.140]  We'll get to that in a minute.
[03:02.140 --> 03:05.480]  Some folks don't stay current on the income tax.
[03:05.480 --> 03:08.660]  They're too lazy to know they don't owe.
[03:08.660 --> 03:11.440]  In other words, they wrongly believe they owe it,
[03:11.440 --> 03:13.460]  but then they don't pay it.
[03:13.460 --> 03:16.220]  In some cases, after years of the IRS
[03:16.220 --> 03:18.900]  sending collection letters to a presumptive taxpayer,
[03:18.900 --> 03:21.220]  the IRS acts administratively
[03:21.220 --> 03:24.380]  to levy the taxpayer's bank account.
[03:24.380 --> 03:27.540]  Before I get into the nitty-gritty of the bank levy issue,
[03:27.540 --> 03:30.100]  I want to let you know that Americans who know the truth
[03:30.100 --> 03:31.740]  about the income tax
[03:31.740 --> 03:35.180]  and how to correctly communicate that to the IRS
[03:35.180 --> 03:38.620]  never have money seized from their bank accounts.
[03:38.620 --> 03:42.440]  For those who know what to say and how to say it,
[03:42.440 --> 03:44.320]  the IRS never contacts them again.
[03:44.320 --> 03:45.160]  If you need help with that,
[03:45.200 --> 03:49.440]  you can reach out to me at Dave at DrReality.News.
[03:49.440 --> 03:53.480]  There are three ways of addressing the income tax.
[03:53.480 --> 03:57.080]  Number one, unnecessarily surrender your property to them
[03:57.080 --> 03:59.380]  every year because you choose to remain ignorant.
[03:59.380 --> 04:03.520]  Number two, remain ignorant, but don't pay,
[04:03.520 --> 04:05.480]  in which case you'll likely experience
[04:05.480 --> 04:06.920]  what we're talking about today,
[04:06.920 --> 04:08.900]  which is having money taken from your bank account.
[04:08.900 --> 04:12.280]  And number three, learn the truth,
[04:12.280 --> 04:17.280]  keep your property and live without fear of the IRS.
[04:18.480 --> 04:20.440]  Number three sounds like the way to go to me
[04:20.440 --> 04:23.240]  and that is exactly what I've been doing for 32 years.
[04:23.240 --> 04:25.960]  But back to the issue of the bank taking money
[04:25.960 --> 04:28.620]  out of your account and giving us the IRS.
[04:28.620 --> 04:31.500]  There are a number of inaccurate explanations
[04:31.500 --> 04:32.340]  out there on this subject
[04:32.340 --> 04:34.900]  because people who've never read a word of law
[04:34.900 --> 04:37.440]  attempt to explain how their property can be taken by a bank
[04:37.440 --> 04:38.640]  and given to the IRS
[04:38.640 --> 04:41.400]  simply because someone at the IRS says so.
[04:41.440 --> 04:43.940]  I'm not gonna waste your time discussing that nonsense.
[04:43.940 --> 04:46.480]  We'll get straight into what is really happening.
[04:47.560 --> 04:50.360]  I'm recording this presentation 11 months
[04:50.360 --> 04:53.160]  after Donald Trump was sworn in as president
[04:53.160 --> 04:55.140]  for the second time.
[04:55.140 --> 04:56.440]  I think it's fair to say
[04:56.440 --> 05:00.320]  that most Americans have heard the words due process
[05:00.320 --> 05:01.760]  more in the last 11 months
[05:01.760 --> 05:04.340]  than in the entire rest of their lives.
[05:04.340 --> 05:07.480]  The context of the Trump era discussion about due process
[05:07.480 --> 05:10.780]  has generally been about whether it applies to aliens.
[05:10.780 --> 05:12.900]  Well, a lot of people are out there on social media
[05:12.900 --> 05:15.780]  screaming that aliens don't have the right to due process.
[05:15.780 --> 05:18.140]  That's not legally factual.
[05:18.140 --> 05:20.100]  The federal courts all the way up to
[05:20.100 --> 05:21.380]  and including the Supreme Court
[05:21.380 --> 05:24.700]  have held that aliens do have a right to due process.
[05:24.700 --> 05:27.100]  However, for aliens,
[05:27.100 --> 05:30.420]  it's a minimalistic or scaled down version.
[05:30.420 --> 05:32.660]  It is not the full-throated due process
[05:32.660 --> 05:34.040]  to which American citizens
[05:34.040 --> 05:37.660]  have a constitutionally enshrined right.
[05:37.660 --> 05:40.460]  The reality that aliens get a truncated version
[05:40.460 --> 05:42.980]  of due process begs two questions.
[05:42.980 --> 05:45.540]  First, what does the scaled down version
[05:45.540 --> 05:47.480]  of due process look like?
[05:47.480 --> 05:50.860]  And second, why are we discussing the limited form
[05:50.860 --> 05:53.120]  of due process that applies to aliens
[05:53.120 --> 05:56.540]  when the subject at hand is banks taking your money
[05:56.540 --> 05:58.660]  and giving it to the IRS?
[05:58.660 --> 05:59.920]  To understand the connection
[05:59.920 --> 06:02.700]  between the truncated due process extended to aliens
[06:02.700 --> 06:04.900]  and how that applies to your bank account,
[06:04.900 --> 06:08.060]  we need to discuss the IRS form W-9.
[06:08.060 --> 06:11.140]  I'll begin by discussing the W-9 in a general sense
[06:11.140 --> 06:14.280]  and then explain how it affects a bank account.
[06:15.300 --> 06:19.420]  What is the meaning of form W-9 in law?
[06:19.420 --> 06:24.140]  By that, I mean, what are you declaring about yourself
[06:24.140 --> 06:28.520]  under penalty of perjury when you sign a W-9?
[06:28.520 --> 06:30.940]  The public has no idea about the legal implications
[06:30.940 --> 06:32.580]  of signing any tax form.
[06:32.580 --> 06:34.740]  Americans sign all sorts of tax forms
[06:34.740 --> 06:38.780]  simply because someone told them to.
[06:38.780 --> 06:41.420]  Perhaps this is a good time to recall this quote
[06:41.420 --> 06:43.580]  from Thomas Jefferson.
[06:43.580 --> 06:46.460]  If a nation expects to be ignorant and free,
[06:46.460 --> 06:50.120]  it expects what never was and never will be.
[06:50.120 --> 06:52.040]  We can modify Jefferson's quote a bit
[06:52.040 --> 06:55.500]  to make it applicable to today's conversation.
[06:55.500 --> 06:57.380]  If Americans expect to be ignorant
[06:57.380 --> 06:59.120]  and free of the income tax,
[06:59.120 --> 07:02.520]  they expect what never was and never will be.
[07:02.520 --> 07:03.960]  So don't be ignorant.
[07:03.960 --> 07:08.240]  So what does a form W-9 mean in tax law?
[07:08.240 --> 07:12.840]  It means this, the person signing a W-9
[07:12.840 --> 07:15.640]  is attesting under penalty of perjury
[07:15.640 --> 07:20.040]  that the money he is receiving does not belong to him,
[07:20.040 --> 07:24.680]  but belongs to the non-resident alien or foreign corporation
[07:24.680 --> 07:28.320]  for whom he is acting as the US agent.
[07:28.320 --> 07:30.400]  Now, some of you who own your own businesses
[07:30.400 --> 07:32.840]  and have signed a lot of W-9s over the years
[07:32.840 --> 07:35.080]  may be saying, that's nonsense.
[07:35.080 --> 07:36.600]  I've been signing W-9s forever.
[07:36.600 --> 07:38.880]  No one ever said that's what the form means.
[07:40.240 --> 07:41.240]  I get it.
[07:41.240 --> 07:42.720]  More than three decades ago
[07:42.720 --> 07:44.920]  when I owned several businesses in California
[07:44.920 --> 07:46.600]  and I had never read a word of tax law,
[07:46.600 --> 07:50.100]  I also signed W-9s without bothering to consider
[07:50.100 --> 07:53.320]  what they meant or the consequences of signing them.
[07:53.320 --> 07:55.300]  But here's the thing.
[07:55.300 --> 07:57.740]  The fact that no one told you
[07:57.740 --> 08:00.600]  that's what a W-9 means in law
[08:00.600 --> 08:05.220]  doesn't change the fact that is precisely what it means.
[08:05.220 --> 08:09.280]  About a year ago, I did a whiteboard presentation on the W-9
[08:09.280 --> 08:12.140]  that many people found particularly informative.
[08:12.140 --> 08:14.080]  I'll put the link to that down in the notes.
[08:14.080 --> 08:16.160]  Now that you know what the W-9 means in law,
[08:16.160 --> 08:20.120]  let's examine how it impacts your bank account.
[08:20.120 --> 08:23.240]  Every single financial institution in America
[08:23.240 --> 08:26.420]  demands a W-9 as a condition of opening an account.
[08:26.420 --> 08:28.960]  In other words, every financial institution in America
[08:28.960 --> 08:32.320]  demands that you commit perjury
[08:32.320 --> 08:34.820]  by swearing that you're acting as the domestic agent
[08:34.820 --> 08:37.520]  for a foreign person with US or Sinkum.
[08:37.520 --> 08:40.120]  That practice needs to be challenged in court
[08:40.120 --> 08:42.320]  in a class action suit.
[08:42.320 --> 08:45.360]  Perhaps that's a subject for another presentation.
[08:45.360 --> 08:48.620]  So what exactly does it mean
[08:48.620 --> 08:53.240]  when you open an account with a form W-9?
[08:53.240 --> 08:54.840]  Are you ready?
[08:54.840 --> 08:57.720]  The government's perspective on any financial account
[08:57.720 --> 09:00.560]  opened with a W-9 is that the account holder is stating
[09:00.560 --> 09:02.360]  under a penalty of perjury
[09:02.360 --> 09:03.600]  that the purpose of the account
[09:03.600 --> 09:07.960]  is to receive US or Sinkum belonging to the foreign person
[09:07.960 --> 09:10.760]  for whom the account holder is acting as the domestic agent.
[09:10.760 --> 09:13.460]  In other words, although your name is on the account,
[09:13.460 --> 09:14.720]  the government's position is
[09:14.720 --> 09:17.600]  that the funds in the account do not belong to you.
[09:17.600 --> 09:19.000]  They belong to the foreign person
[09:19.000 --> 09:21.400]  for whom you're acting as the domestic agent.
[09:21.400 --> 09:23.360]  Now that we know the government deems the funds
[09:23.360 --> 09:26.240]  in your account to belong to a foreign person,
[09:26.240 --> 09:30.920]  let's return to the truncated due process for aliens.
[09:30.920 --> 09:33.080]  When property belongs to an American citizen,
[09:33.080 --> 09:34.840]  the Fourth Amendment generally prohibits seizure
[09:34.840 --> 09:36.520]  without prior judicial review
[09:36.520 --> 09:39.760]  by a judge in the judicial branch.
[09:39.760 --> 09:43.280]  At the federal level, that's known as an Article III judge.
[09:43.280 --> 09:46.000]  An opportunity for judicial review prior to seizure
[09:46.000 --> 09:48.400]  of a citizen's property is a requirement
[09:48.400 --> 09:51.520]  under the Constitution's due process provision.
[09:51.520 --> 09:55.240]  But that's not true for aliens.
[09:55.240 --> 09:57.540]  In most circumstances, due process for aliens
[09:57.540 --> 10:02.280]  is limited to administrative due process.
[10:02.280 --> 10:04.640]  Administrative due process is due process
[10:04.640 --> 10:09.640]  before an agency, not a court of the judicial branch.
[10:10.440 --> 10:14.520]  The courts in which aliens appear are not real courts.
[10:14.520 --> 10:16.160]  They are administrative tribunals
[10:16.160 --> 10:19.080]  that are in legal reality, part of the agency.
[10:19.080 --> 10:20.920]  They are merely called courts,
[10:20.920 --> 10:23.080]  and the judges who sit on the bench of those tribunals
[10:23.120 --> 10:25.240]  are not employees of the judicial branch.
[10:25.240 --> 10:28.560]  Such courts are known in law as Article I courts
[10:28.560 --> 10:31.360]  because they're created by congressional legislation,
[10:31.360 --> 10:33.480]  whereas judicial branch courts are established
[10:33.480 --> 10:35.840]  by Article III of the Constitution.
[10:35.840 --> 10:38.800]  When it comes to aliens, most determinations made
[10:38.800 --> 10:42.000]  by an agency tribunal, improperly called a court,
[10:42.000 --> 10:45.900]  are not reviewable by a real court.
[10:45.900 --> 10:49.760]  That means, in most cases, the agency operating
[10:49.760 --> 10:53.560]  in the form of a pseudo court has the final say.
[10:53.560 --> 10:55.700]  I hope that makes clear the distinction
[10:55.700 --> 10:58.720]  between the type of due process you and I enjoy
[10:58.720 --> 11:01.620]  versus the truncated version of due process
[11:01.620 --> 11:03.240]  provided to aliens.
[11:03.240 --> 11:06.660]  Before I continue, if you enjoy this kind of knowledge
[11:06.660 --> 11:08.160]  that you'll never get from any source
[11:08.160 --> 11:11.280]  other than this channel, please take a moment to subscribe
[11:11.280 --> 11:12.940]  and hit the like button so the algorithm
[11:12.940 --> 11:15.400]  show this content to more people.
[11:15.400 --> 11:16.560]  Thank you.
[11:16.560 --> 11:18.480]  At this point, of necessity,
[11:18.480 --> 11:22.760]  we need to take a quick detour to touch upon tax returns.
[11:22.760 --> 11:25.320]  Just like the W-9 we discussed earlier,
[11:25.320 --> 11:27.280]  Americans never bother to ask
[11:27.280 --> 11:30.320]  what signing a tax return means.
[11:30.320 --> 11:32.720]  They know it means they certify under penalty of perjury
[11:32.720 --> 11:34.660]  that the numbers are factual,
[11:34.660 --> 11:36.940]  but they are completely unaware that signing a return
[11:36.940 --> 11:40.600]  also certifies their status.
[11:40.600 --> 11:43.080]  Status is a pivotal word in tax law.
[11:43.080 --> 11:46.360]  Everything keys off of one's status.
[11:46.360 --> 11:48.920]  I don't want to get bogged down with the underlying law
[11:48.920 --> 11:51.000]  that's relevant to each of the tax returns
[11:51.000 --> 11:51.880]  I'm going to mention.
[11:51.880 --> 11:53.880]  So if you want to see all the legal evidence
[11:53.880 --> 11:55.000]  of what I'm about to share,
[11:55.000 --> 11:57.640]  you'll find it in income tax shattering the miss.
[11:57.640 --> 11:59.960]  As a side note, I'm currently running a special
[11:59.960 --> 12:01.160]  on income tax shattering the miss.
[12:01.160 --> 12:04.020]  I'll give you the details about that towards the end.
[12:04.020 --> 12:06.540]  According to the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury,
[12:06.540 --> 12:10.040]  form 1040 is only to be used by a non-resident alien
[12:10.040 --> 12:10.920]  with U.S. source income
[12:10.920 --> 12:14.880]  or the non-resident alien's domestic agent.
[12:14.920 --> 12:17.240]  According to the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury,
[12:17.240 --> 12:19.200]  form 1120 is only to be filed
[12:19.200 --> 12:23.280]  by a foreign corporation with U.S. source income.
[12:23.280 --> 12:25.440]  According to the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury,
[12:25.440 --> 12:28.000]  form 1065 is only to be filed
[12:28.000 --> 12:31.720]  by a foreign partnership with U.S. source income.
[12:31.720 --> 12:34.080]  For simplicity, we'll use the 1040
[12:34.080 --> 12:39.080]  to illustrate how your status is baked into tax returns.
[12:39.880 --> 12:42.240]  The IRS states that all tax forms
[12:42.240 --> 12:44.800]  that are required to be signed under penalty of perjury
[12:45.680 --> 12:49.440]  must be signed in an unqualified manner.
[12:49.440 --> 12:52.200]  What that means is the signer is agreed
[12:52.200 --> 12:55.600]  under penalty of perjury with everything on the form,
[12:55.600 --> 12:57.480]  everything in the instructions,
[12:57.480 --> 13:00.800]  as well as all relevant information in the statutes,
[13:00.800 --> 13:03.720]  the regs, and treasury decisions,
[13:03.720 --> 13:08.720]  none of which the signer has ever read.
[13:08.920 --> 13:11.360]  Because the 1040 is, according to the Secretary
[13:11.360 --> 13:13.380]  of the Treasury and his treasury decisions,
[13:13.380 --> 13:16.540]  to be used only by a non-resident alien
[13:16.540 --> 13:19.580]  with U.S. source income or by the alien's U.S. agent,
[13:19.580 --> 13:21.060]  when you sign a 1040,
[13:21.060 --> 13:23.300]  you are declaring under penalty of perjury
[13:23.300 --> 13:26.500]  that you are a non-resident alien with U.S. source income
[13:26.500 --> 13:29.420]  or an agent for the alien.
[13:29.420 --> 13:31.140]  Having a certified to the IRS
[13:31.140 --> 13:34.940]  that you are a non-resident alien or an agent thereof,
[13:34.940 --> 13:36.860]  if you don't pay your income tax,
[13:36.860 --> 13:38.820]  the IRS begins the process of attempting
[13:38.820 --> 13:41.460]  to collect the unpaid amount.
[13:41.460 --> 13:45.020]  That process includes extending you due process.
[13:45.020 --> 13:49.220]  However, since you certified under penalty of perjury
[13:49.220 --> 13:51.860]  that you're an alien or are the agent of an alien,
[13:51.860 --> 13:56.740]  you are only entitled to the truncated due process
[13:56.740 --> 13:58.100]  for aliens.
[13:58.100 --> 14:00.940]  Making things worse is that you're completely oblivious
[14:00.940 --> 14:02.660]  to the fact that the IRS's claim against you
[14:02.660 --> 14:04.260]  is based on you swearing
[14:04.260 --> 14:07.020]  that you're a non-resident alien with U.S. source income
[14:07.020 --> 14:10.660]  or you're acting as the agent for the non-resident alien.
[14:10.660 --> 14:13.140]  Because the IRS is coming after an American
[14:13.140 --> 14:16.300]  who has never read a word of tax law,
[14:16.300 --> 14:19.380]  he has no idea that the IRS is pursuing him
[14:19.380 --> 14:23.860]  as a non-resident alien or the domestic agent thereof.
[14:23.860 --> 14:26.740]  In his ignorance, he repeatedly fails
[14:26.740 --> 14:29.140]  to make the correct responses to the IRS.
[14:29.140 --> 14:32.460]  After a couple of years of incorrect responses to the IRS,
[14:32.460 --> 14:36.340]  the IRS decides to go after the guy's bank account.
[14:36.340 --> 14:38.660]  That brings us back around
[14:38.660 --> 14:41.820]  to the actions of financial institutions.
[14:41.820 --> 14:45.260]  In law, there are only three types of customers
[14:45.260 --> 14:48.780]  who are required to provide a taxpayer identification number
[14:48.780 --> 14:50.580]  when opening an account.
[14:50.580 --> 14:54.260]  Those three are a non-resident alien
[14:54.260 --> 14:56.300]  receiving U.S. source income,
[14:56.300 --> 15:00.020]  a foreign corporation receiving U.S. source income,
[15:00.020 --> 15:02.060]  a U.S. person opening an account
[15:02.060 --> 15:05.460]  for the purpose of receiving the U.S. source income
[15:05.460 --> 15:07.580]  belonging to a foreign person
[15:07.580 --> 15:11.380]  for whom the U.S. person is the domestic agent.
[15:11.380 --> 15:15.420]  All three of those persons are taxpayers.
[15:15.420 --> 15:17.260]  If you're not one of these three,
[15:17.260 --> 15:19.580]  then in so far as income tax is concerned,
[15:19.580 --> 15:22.700]  you are not a taxpayer.
[15:22.700 --> 15:25.620]  Because those are the only three persons required by law
[15:25.620 --> 15:27.900]  to provide a taxpayer identification number,
[15:27.900 --> 15:29.700]  the legal presumption by the government
[15:29.700 --> 15:31.180]  concerning every account
[15:31.180 --> 15:34.580]  opened with a taxpayer identification number,
[15:34.580 --> 15:36.620]  is the property in those accounts
[15:36.620 --> 15:41.100]  is U.S. source income belonging to a foreign person.
[15:41.100 --> 15:42.580]  Let me give you an illustrative example
[15:42.580 --> 15:44.060]  of how the government sees accounts
[15:44.060 --> 15:46.620]  opened with a taxpayer identification number.
[15:46.620 --> 15:50.100]  If the IRS has an assessment against the taxpayer
[15:50.100 --> 15:52.220]  with the taxpayer identification number
[15:52.220 --> 15:54.860]  of 123456789
[15:54.860 --> 15:56.620]  and the taxpayer identification number
[15:56.620 --> 16:00.500]  associated with the bank account, 123456789,
[16:00.500 --> 16:02.220]  then the government's perspective
[16:02.260 --> 16:05.980]  is that they can seize the non-resident alien's money
[16:05.980 --> 16:07.340]  from the account
[16:07.340 --> 16:10.420]  after having extended the non-resident alien
[16:10.420 --> 16:15.420]  only the truncated agency administrative due process.
[16:15.980 --> 16:18.900]  I should add that when addressing tax matters
[16:18.900 --> 16:20.260]  administratively with the IRS,
[16:20.260 --> 16:24.980]  the burden of proof rests with the alien or his agent,
[16:24.980 --> 16:26.660]  not the government.
[16:26.660 --> 16:29.900]  But get this, if you know what to say to the IRS,
[16:29.900 --> 16:32.980]  the burden of proof to prove you are a taxpayer
[16:32.980 --> 16:34.220]  shifts to the government.
[16:35.100 --> 16:36.540]  But I digress.
[16:36.540 --> 16:39.300]  Allow me to share with you some real world evidence
[16:39.300 --> 16:44.300]  proving that banks completely misuse the form W-9.
[16:44.300 --> 16:46.780]  What I'm about to show you is a screenshot
[16:46.780 --> 16:49.580]  of a response sent by a major national bank
[16:49.580 --> 16:53.180]  to an account holder who wrote a letter to the institution.
[16:53.180 --> 16:55.700]  In the letter, the account holder clarified
[16:55.700 --> 16:58.980]  that despite being required to sign a W-9
[16:58.980 --> 17:01.260]  as a condition of opening the account,
[17:01.260 --> 17:03.740]  he is not the domestic agent of a foreign person
[17:03.740 --> 17:06.140]  nor any of the money going into the account,
[17:06.140 --> 17:08.740]  the property of a foreign person.
[17:08.740 --> 17:10.100]  For privacy reasons,
[17:10.100 --> 17:12.740]  I'm gonna refer to the bank as state bank
[17:12.740 --> 17:15.700]  and change the account number to the last four
[17:15.700 --> 17:17.100]  to 1234.
[17:17.100 --> 17:19.500]  I'm also blocking out the marketing name
[17:19.500 --> 17:21.060]  of the type of account
[17:21.060 --> 17:22.860]  because that could identify the bank.
[17:22.860 --> 17:25.100]  Because I know the type will be small on the screen,
[17:25.100 --> 17:27.380]  I'll read aloud what the bank said.
[17:27.380 --> 17:29.660]  The bank wrote this.
[17:29.660 --> 17:32.860]  State bank recognizes that you are not acting
[17:32.860 --> 17:35.580]  as a domestic agent for any foreign persons.
[17:35.580 --> 17:38.020]  We also recognize that no funds deposited
[17:38.020 --> 17:41.140]  in the state bank checking account ending in 1234
[17:41.140 --> 17:43.420]  will be United States source income
[17:43.420 --> 17:45.740]  belonging to a foreign person.
[17:45.740 --> 17:48.060]  United States Treasury regulations require us
[17:48.060 --> 17:51.060]  to determine the tax residency of all customers
[17:51.060 --> 17:53.460]  and payees who could receive income
[17:53.460 --> 17:56.020]  that is reportable to the Internal Revenue Service.
[17:56.060 --> 18:00.700]  We use Form W-9 to document US tax residency
[18:00.700 --> 18:03.140]  and obtain a taxpayer identification number
[18:03.140 --> 18:05.380]  from the primary owner of each account.
[18:05.380 --> 18:07.180]  Form W-9 is used to ensure
[18:07.180 --> 18:10.460]  the customer's taxpayer identification number is correct
[18:10.460 --> 18:13.940]  when a state bank deposit account application is submitted
[18:13.940 --> 18:16.140]  and the account is opened.
[18:16.140 --> 18:17.340]  I wanna draw your attention
[18:17.340 --> 18:20.420]  to two particular sentences in the letter.
[18:20.420 --> 18:22.420]  The first is this, quote,
[18:22.420 --> 18:25.460]  United States Treasury regulations require us
[18:25.460 --> 18:30.020]  to determine the tax residency of all customers and payees
[18:30.020 --> 18:32.420]  who could receive income that is reportable
[18:32.420 --> 18:34.620]  to the Internal Revenue Service.
[18:34.620 --> 18:38.020]  Fair enough, but according to Treasury decisions 8734
[18:38.020 --> 18:43.020]  and 8881, reportable income is only US source income
[18:43.220 --> 18:44.820]  belonging to a foreign person,
[18:44.820 --> 18:46.580]  whether paid directly to the foreign person
[18:46.580 --> 18:48.540]  or to the foreign person's domestic agent.
[18:48.540 --> 18:51.580]  In other words, if a bank pays interest to an account holder
[18:51.580 --> 18:52.940]  who is an American citizen
[18:52.940 --> 18:55.220]  with no connection to a foreign person,
[18:55.220 --> 18:57.180]  the interest payment is not subject
[18:57.180 --> 18:58.660]  to income tax reporting
[18:58.660 --> 19:03.660]  and therefore no taxpayer identification number is required.
[19:04.100 --> 19:06.380]  Yet the bank never asks the status
[19:06.380 --> 19:08.220]  of the person opening an account.
[19:08.220 --> 19:10.740]  The bank acts like it has to file information returns
[19:10.740 --> 19:15.740]  on everyone, which is absolutely not what the law says.
[19:16.900 --> 19:20.980]  The second sentence to which I draw your attention is this, quote,
[19:20.980 --> 19:24.540]  we use Form W-9 to document US tax residency
[19:24.540 --> 19:26.660]  obtaining taxpayer identification number
[19:26.660 --> 19:29.780]  from the primary owner of each account.
[19:29.780 --> 19:33.900]  So here's the thing, how the bank said it is using the W-9
[19:33.900 --> 19:36.780]  is not in compliance with the legal purpose of the form.
[19:36.780 --> 19:41.340]  There is one and only one legal purpose for the W-9.
[19:41.340 --> 19:44.060]  That purpose is to obtain a taxpayer identification number
[19:44.060 --> 19:47.340]  from a US person who is acting as the domestic agent
[19:47.340 --> 19:48.540]  of a foreign person.
[19:48.540 --> 19:52.900]  In fact, signing a W-9 is declaring under penalty of perjury
[19:52.940 --> 19:55.140]  that the signer is acting as the domestic agent
[19:55.140 --> 19:56.700]  of a foreign person.
[19:56.700 --> 19:58.980]  Additionally, the account holder's letter
[19:58.980 --> 20:01.540]  to the bank said this, quote,
[20:01.540 --> 20:04.180]  the legal meaning and purpose of Form W-9
[20:04.180 --> 20:05.620]  is that the signer is attesting
[20:05.620 --> 20:07.900]  that the income he, she is receiving
[20:07.900 --> 20:09.900]  does not belong to him, her,
[20:09.900 --> 20:11.860]  but belongs to a foreign person
[20:11.860 --> 20:14.620]  for whom the signer is acting as the domestic agent.
[20:14.620 --> 20:17.860]  See Treasury Decisions 8734 and 8881.
[20:18.780 --> 20:22.460]  I hope you noted that while the bank said it used the W-9
[20:22.460 --> 20:26.580]  for a different purpose than the form has in law,
[20:26.580 --> 20:28.140]  at no time did the bank claim
[20:28.140 --> 20:29.940]  that the account holder's characterization
[20:29.940 --> 20:33.580]  of the legal purpose of the W-9 was inaccurate.
[20:33.580 --> 20:35.460]  My reading of the bank's response
[20:35.460 --> 20:37.180]  is that it simply wants the account holder
[20:37.180 --> 20:39.820]  to look the other way
[20:39.820 --> 20:42.860]  concerning the bank's unlawful use of the W-9
[20:42.860 --> 20:46.020]  because the bank's written response admits
[20:46.020 --> 20:49.100]  it's using the form in an illegal manner.
[20:49.100 --> 20:51.100]  Phrased another way, the bank is saying
[20:51.100 --> 20:53.980]  that because it's using the form in an illegal manner,
[20:53.980 --> 20:55.860]  it is not going to hold the account holder
[20:55.860 --> 20:58.060]  to the legal meaning of the form.
[20:58.060 --> 21:00.300]  But there's a problem with that.
[21:00.300 --> 21:02.620]  Signing the W-9 under penalty of perjury
[21:02.620 --> 21:05.180]  has the implications and consequences
[21:05.180 --> 21:08.460]  that the Secretary of the Treasury says it has
[21:08.460 --> 21:10.820]  in his Treasury Decisions.
[21:10.820 --> 21:13.220]  The bank's admission that it's using the form
[21:13.220 --> 21:16.380]  for an unlawful, unapproved purpose
[21:16.380 --> 21:20.500]  cannot and does not change the legal meaning
[21:20.500 --> 21:21.940]  and purpose of the form,
[21:21.940 --> 21:24.860]  nor does it change how the IRS views the form.
[21:24.860 --> 21:26.340]  No matter what the bank says,
[21:26.340 --> 21:28.860]  the IRS still sees the signers having declared
[21:28.860 --> 21:30.220]  under penalty of perjury
[21:30.220 --> 21:31.740]  to be receiving U.S. source income
[21:31.740 --> 21:33.420]  belonging to the foreign person
[21:33.420 --> 21:36.660]  for whom the signer is acting as the domestic agent.
[21:36.660 --> 21:40.860]  So why doesn't the bank simply create its own private form
[21:40.860 --> 21:42.940]  asking the account holder to provide his
[21:42.940 --> 21:44.940]  or her taxpayer identification number
[21:44.940 --> 21:46.140]  under penalty of perjury?
[21:46.900 --> 21:51.900]  Because the bank has no authority in law to do that.
[21:52.780 --> 21:56.820]  All taxation is imposed by the government.
[21:56.820 --> 21:59.020]  Any actions by private sector entities
[21:59.020 --> 22:02.540]  regarding taxation must be based on the law.
[22:02.540 --> 22:05.580]  Only the government can mandate via law
[22:05.580 --> 22:08.300]  that this person or that person must sign a tax form.
[22:08.300 --> 22:12.260]  That's why all tax forms are government forms.
[22:12.260 --> 22:15.300]  While we're discussing that only the government can mandate
[22:15.300 --> 22:16.820]  that a person sign a tax form,
[22:16.820 --> 22:19.380]  let's revisit the short list of who is required
[22:19.380 --> 22:20.980]  to sign income tax forms.
[22:20.980 --> 22:22.980]  That short list is this,
[22:22.980 --> 22:25.900]  non-resident aliens receiving U.S. source income,
[22:25.900 --> 22:29.500]  foreign corporations receiving U.S. source income,
[22:29.500 --> 22:32.340]  and U.S. persons receiving U.S. source income
[22:32.340 --> 22:34.460]  belonging to a foreign person
[22:34.460 --> 22:37.900]  for whom the U.S. person is the domestic agent.
[22:37.900 --> 22:39.940]  Since you're not any of those,
[22:39.940 --> 22:41.620]  where would the bank get the legal authority
[22:41.780 --> 22:46.100]  to demand a taxpayer identification from you?
[22:46.100 --> 22:49.340]  It doesn't have that authority, clearly,
[22:49.340 --> 22:51.660]  which is why it unlawfully and fraudulently
[22:51.660 --> 22:53.260]  forces people opening accounts
[22:53.260 --> 22:54.900]  to use a government form W-9.
[22:55.780 --> 22:59.220]  This process may seem as if the left hand
[22:59.220 --> 23:01.140]  doesn't know what the right hand is doing,
[23:01.140 --> 23:03.100]  but that's not the case.
[23:03.100 --> 23:05.260]  The people at the top of the income tax system
[23:05.260 --> 23:07.060]  and the senior lawyers for the banks
[23:07.060 --> 23:09.100]  know exactly what they're doing.
[23:09.100 --> 23:12.420]  Yet, account holders can't resolve the problem
[23:12.420 --> 23:14.140]  because the millions of people
[23:14.140 --> 23:17.020]  who work at the lower levels of the financial institutions
[23:17.020 --> 23:19.900]  don't know any of what we've discussed today.
[23:19.900 --> 23:23.100]  Because of that, when an account holder brings these problems
[23:23.100 --> 23:25.020]  to the attention of a customer service rep,
[23:25.020 --> 23:27.380]  they provide nonsense responses,
[23:27.380 --> 23:29.900]  as you saw today in the bank's letter.
[23:29.900 --> 23:32.700]  Furthermore, if someone in a bank's customer service
[23:32.700 --> 23:34.180]  department were to learn the truth
[23:34.180 --> 23:35.660]  we've been discussing today,
[23:35.660 --> 23:37.660]  and open accounts without W-9s
[23:37.660 --> 23:40.060]  or upon request of the account holder
[23:40.060 --> 23:42.580]  remove the taxpayer identification number
[23:42.580 --> 23:46.620]  from the accounts belonging to ordinary Americans,
[23:46.620 --> 23:50.660]  he or she would be promptly fired.
[23:50.660 --> 23:53.300]  And to be clear, that person would be fired
[23:53.300 --> 23:58.300]  for following the law while the faceless people upstairs
[23:58.380 --> 24:02.660]  who ordered the firings are knowingly violating the law.
[24:02.660 --> 24:04.780]  So what happens when an American gets a notice
[24:04.780 --> 24:06.980]  that his bank account is going to be levied,
[24:07.020 --> 24:09.980]  and he knows something about his constitutional rights,
[24:09.980 --> 24:12.900]  but nothing about tax law?
[24:12.900 --> 24:14.860]  Understanding that seizure of property
[24:14.860 --> 24:17.540]  without judicial review is unconstitutional,
[24:17.540 --> 24:20.260]  he files an emergency petition with a federal court
[24:20.260 --> 24:22.820]  seeking to have the court enjoin the IRS
[24:22.820 --> 24:24.980]  from the seizure of his property
[24:24.980 --> 24:27.860]  for lack of constitutionally required
[24:27.860 --> 24:30.380]  pre-seizure judicial review.
[24:30.380 --> 24:32.700]  The government files a request for summary judgment,
[24:32.700 --> 24:34.340]  submitting to the court document
[24:34.340 --> 24:36.460]  showing that the plaintiff opened the account
[24:36.460 --> 24:39.860]  using a taxpayer identification number.
[24:39.860 --> 24:41.420]  The judge knows the only time
[24:41.420 --> 24:43.580]  a taxpayer identification number is required
[24:43.580 --> 24:46.580]  is when a person is engaged in taxable activity,
[24:46.580 --> 24:48.340]  or go, if the account was opened
[24:48.340 --> 24:50.060]  with a taxpayer identification number,
[24:50.060 --> 24:52.660]  then the account holder already confirmed
[24:52.660 --> 24:56.860]  the purpose of the account is income taxable activity,
[24:56.860 --> 24:58.900]  and thus, after having received
[24:58.900 --> 25:03.900]  only administrative due process, the property can be levied.
[25:04.340 --> 25:06.980]  The reality is, if a person is having his account levied,
[25:06.980 --> 25:11.700]  he screwed up every step of the way on the road to the levy,
[25:11.700 --> 25:14.940]  which is a years-long process.
[25:14.940 --> 25:17.700]  But given his complete ignorance about Form W-9
[25:17.700 --> 25:19.900]  and what providing a taxpayer identification number
[25:19.900 --> 25:24.340]  means in law, how could he not have screwed up?
[25:24.340 --> 25:28.340]  The good news is it's easy to stop the IRS
[25:28.340 --> 25:31.580]  dead in its tracks.
[25:31.620 --> 25:33.940]  But you have to know what the law says
[25:33.940 --> 25:37.900]  and communicate it to the IRS, or state tax agency,
[25:37.900 --> 25:42.980]  in a way they are legally required to hear you.
[25:42.980 --> 25:45.020]  In other words, there are two elements
[25:45.020 --> 25:47.380]  involved in stopping the IRS.
[25:47.380 --> 25:49.780]  One is understanding the law.
[25:49.780 --> 25:52.420]  The other is knowing how to communicate the law
[25:52.420 --> 25:56.340]  and the facts to the IRS or a state tax agency
[25:56.340 --> 26:00.740]  in a manner that legally requires them to act upon it.
[26:01.820 --> 26:03.900]  How does one gain the correct understanding
[26:03.900 --> 26:04.980]  of income tax law?
[26:04.980 --> 26:06.780]  Well, that's simple.
[26:06.780 --> 26:09.100]  Read income tax, shattering the mess.
[26:09.100 --> 26:12.140]  Every one of the tens of thousands of Americans
[26:12.140 --> 26:14.060]  who've read income tax, shattering the mess,
[26:14.060 --> 26:15.660]  when they have turned that final page,
[26:15.660 --> 26:17.740]  knows with absolute certainty
[26:17.740 --> 26:21.500]  that the tax does not apply to them.
[26:21.500 --> 26:23.380]  What about communicating the facts and law
[26:23.380 --> 26:25.460]  to the IRS or state tax agency
[26:25.460 --> 26:29.220]  in the manner that legally requires them to act on it?
[26:29.220 --> 26:30.740]  Well, that's where I come in.
[26:30.780 --> 26:34.020]  If you've got a problem and want it to evaporate,
[26:34.020 --> 26:38.500]  drop me a line at Dave at DrReality.News.
[26:38.500 --> 26:40.820]  This is a great time to get a copy
[26:40.820 --> 26:42.020]  of income tax, shattering the mess,
[26:42.020 --> 26:45.420]  because I'm running my big annual Christmas special.
[26:45.420 --> 26:48.700]  When you use the coupon code XMAS25 at checkout,
[26:48.700 --> 26:50.780]  I'll inscribe and autograph
[26:50.780 --> 26:52.580]  your copy of income tax, shattering the mess,
[26:52.580 --> 26:54.820]  and you get free shipping.
[26:54.820 --> 26:55.900]  But that's not all.
[26:55.900 --> 26:58.340]  If your order also contains body science,
[26:58.380 --> 27:01.940]  I'll inscribe and autograph both books for you.
[27:01.940 --> 27:04.900]  I'm going to suggest you purchase the four pack
[27:04.900 --> 27:07.100]  containing income tax, shattering the mess,
[27:07.100 --> 27:09.420]  the business guide to payroll withholding,
[27:09.420 --> 27:13.220]  the business handbook for form W91099USPerson,
[27:13.220 --> 27:15.180]  and body science.
[27:15.180 --> 27:17.020]  The first reason to get the four pack
[27:17.020 --> 27:19.780]  is the price is deeply discounted
[27:19.780 --> 27:22.380]  from purchasing all four items individually.
[27:22.380 --> 27:24.300]  The second reason is that in addition
[27:24.300 --> 27:25.780]  to it being deeply discounted,
[27:25.780 --> 27:28.220]  when you use the code XMAS25,
[27:28.220 --> 27:30.180]  you'll also get free shipping
[27:30.180 --> 27:32.980]  and I'll inscribe and autograph your books.
[27:32.980 --> 27:34.180]  A quick word about body science,
[27:34.180 --> 27:38.180]  which is my groundbreaking book on human physiology.
[27:38.180 --> 27:41.700]  Body science destroys the establishment narrative
[27:41.700 --> 27:44.460]  about what makes you unhealthy
[27:44.460 --> 27:47.940]  and shows you how to get astoundingly healthy.
[27:47.940 --> 27:50.180]  Body science gives you the science
[27:50.180 --> 27:52.660]  of getting and staying healthy,
[27:52.660 --> 27:55.740]  presented in a way everyone can understand.
[27:55.740 --> 27:57.860]  If you're sincere about getting and staying healthy
[27:57.860 --> 28:00.780]  and you want that for the people you care about,
[28:00.780 --> 28:03.980]  you need to read body science.
[28:03.980 --> 28:05.340]  I practice what I preach.
[28:05.340 --> 28:08.380]  I adhere to everything you'll discover in body science.
[28:08.380 --> 28:11.900]  I'm 66 years old and I'm as healthy as I was at 26.
[28:11.900 --> 28:14.100]  I am in perfect health.
[28:14.100 --> 28:17.140]  No product diseases, no big pharma products,
[28:17.140 --> 28:20.940]  and I haven't been sick a day in almost a decade.
[28:20.980 --> 28:23.300]  Whether it's learning the truth of the income tax
[28:23.300 --> 28:26.700]  or sales tax or a host of other constitutional issues
[28:26.700 --> 28:29.820]  or finally discovering the truth about human physiology
[28:29.820 --> 28:31.220]  and with that knowledge,
[28:31.220 --> 28:35.180]  being able to get and stay incredibly healthy at any age,
[28:35.180 --> 28:37.700]  not only are these great books for you,
