Affidavit of Causes and Objections to OSC: Page 1 of 15 1. The service of said subpoena was defective because the Trust is domiciled outside the jurisdiction of the United States. Said subpoena was refused for cause without dishonor, pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code ("U.C.C.") Section 3-501, on the twenty-first day of the third month of the year one thousand nine hundred ninety-six Anno Domini, see attached EXHIBIT "A". 2. The reasons for said Refusal for Cause without Dishonor were documented, in part, in a letter, with attachments, addressed to the Grand Jury Foreperson In re: New Life Health Center Company, dated March 20, 1996, and mailed via Registered United States Mail, Return Receipt Requested and Restricted Delivery Requested, Registered U.S. Mail No. R-591-643-753 (hereinafter "Registered letter"). Said letter is incorporated by reference as if set forth fully in EXHIBIT "B". 3. United States Postal Service PS Form 3811, "Domestic Return Receipt," was returned without any signature, and the spaces for "Addressee's Address" and "Received By:" were left blank, despite the fact that Counsel had paid an extra fee for "Restricted Delivery" and "Return Receipt" services. Said returned PS Form 3811 indicated that the Registered letter had been delivered on "3-22-96", see EXHIBIT "C". 4. When asked why said PS Form 3811 did not show any recipient's signature, a counter clerk of the United States Postal Service completed two (2) separate PS Forms 3811-A, REQUEST FOR RETURN RECEIPT, on two separate occasions. The first such request, mailed on April 2, 1996, and delivered on April 5, 1996, indicated that the original Registered letter had been delivered on "3-25-96". The second such request, mailed on April 17, 1996, and delivered on April 18, 1996, indicated: "no record found but cleared reg. rm 3/28". The Trust took careful note of the obvious discrepancies among the three (3) different delivery dates, to wit: 3-22-96, 3-25-96, and 3/28, the latter being the date the Registered letter "cleared reg. rm" [sic]. See EXHIBIT "C". Affidavit of Causes and Objections to OSC: Page 2 of 15 5. Even though the Trust paid in full for the best and most secure method of posting United States mail, said discrepancies and the absence of any recipient's signatures have given the Trust reason to believe that said Registered letter was intercepted and/or diverted by "United States Attorney JANET NAPOLITANO" and/or "Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert L. Miskell", in a knowing, intentional, and voluntary violation of federal law. The Trust has since determined that the grand jury Foreperson, to whom the Registered letter was addressed, had not completed a United States Postal Service PS Form 3801: Standing Delivery Order, authorizing one or more agent(s) to receive registered, certified, insured, c.o.d., express mail, and special delivery mail addressed to or in care of the grand jury Foreperson. This Court will please take mandatory judicial notice that said PS Form 3801 contains the following qualifying language on its face, to wit: Where RESTRICTED DELIVERY MAIL is to be included, the statement "This authorization is extended to include RESTRICTED DELIVERY MAIL" must be entered on the delivery order by the person signing it. This notation is to be made on the part of the form for signatures of authorized agent. NOTE: Unknown signatures must be identified. [See EXHIBIT "C"] Affidavit of Causes and Objections to OSC: Page 3 of 15 6. The Trust has empirical evidence proving that alleged agents of the United States, specifically "United States Attorney" Robert A. Johnson, has proceeded against the Trust with the stated purpose of putting the Trust out of business, in order to make an example of it. The AFFIDAVIT of Managing Director Eugene A. Burns, D.C., N.D., is attached hereto and incorporated by reference as if set forth fully as EXHIBIT "D". Paragraph 6 of said AFFIDAVIT contains the following quotation of Mr. Robert Johnson, to wit: This is not an issue of money (Dr. Burns), this is a power issue. We intend on putting you and your Company out of business to make you an example. [See Exhibit "D"] Because it believes that alleged agents of the United States recently diverted Registered United States mail, in violation of federal law, and because it believes that alleged agents of the United States have, at least since March of 1981, stated their intentions to destroy the Trust's business in order to "make an example" of it, and because of a multitude of events and discoveries which workers at the Trust have witnessed in the intervening period of time, the Trust now firmly believes that alleged agents of the United States have demonstrated a pattern of criminal conduct which continues right up to the present time. The Trust, therefore, makes this offer to prove its allegations of criminal conduct by means of a detailed AFFIDAVIT OF PROBABLE CAUSE, which is currently in preparation and will require at least thirty (30) additional calendar days to complete, serve, and file in the instant case. 7. The Trust has researched relevant case law and confirmed that the United States can be enjoined to prevent the destruction of a business which might otherwise occur as a direct consequence of enforcing the assessment and/or collection of income taxes upon the Trust. Specifically, the Anti-Injunction Act cannot be enforced to destroy a business. See John M. Hirst & Company v. Gentsch, 133 F.2d 247 (6th Cir., 1943), Midwest Haulers v. Brady, 128 F.2d 496 (6th Cir., 1942), and Long v. United States, 148 F.Supp. 758 (1957), copies of which are attached and incorporated by reference as if set forth fully in EXHIBIT "E". Affidavit of Causes and Objections to OSC: Page 4 of 15 8. The Trust has consummated a written non-disclosure contract with the Managing Director specifically prohibiting said Managing Director from divulging any Trust information, books and records or any other property belonging to the Trust to any person, agency, or government entity. Said non-disclosure contract is incorporated here by reference as if set forth fully in EXHIBIT "F". Specifically, said non-disclosure contract states that the Managing Director will be subject to possible criminal sanctions imposed by the Trustee of Health International Corporation, should said Managing Director turn over any of the aforementioned information pertinent to the Trust without authorization. The names of Persons mentioned in said contract have been redacted to protect their fundamental Right to privacy in this matter. The Trust argues that no agents of the United States, including but not limited to all United States Attorneys and this honorable Court, can impair the obligations of this contract, in direct violation of Article I, Section 10, Clause 1 of the Constitution for the United States of America, as lawfully amended pursuant to Article V of said Constitution (hereinafter "U.S. Constitution"). Affidavit of Causes and Objections to OSC: Page 5 of 15 9. The Trust has never been served with actual Notice, issued by the de jure Secretary of the Treasury, or by his lawful Delegate, requiring said Trust to keep books and records in the first instance. In the absence of such a Notice, properly served upon the authorized agents for service of process upon the Trust, the existence of the books and records sought by said subpoena cannot be proven. The law does not recognize impossibilities. Lex non cogit impossibilia. 10. The Trust argues from all of the above that the agents of the United States who brought the instant action petitioned this honorable Court with unclean hands and with a fraud upon this Court, among other things by misrepresenting to this Court that the Trust had failed to "appear" in response to said subpoena. It is well known that "appearances" can be made in writing, because an answer constitutes an "appearance." Wieser v. Richter, 247 Mich. 52, 225 N.W. 542, 543. See the several definitions of "appearance" in Black's Law Dictionary, Fourth Edition with Guide to Pronunciation. The Registered letter cited supra was the Trust's "answer" to said subpoena. 11. The Trust objects, for the record, to the unqualified use by the United States and any of its agencies, assigns and instrumentalities, of United States Postal Service ZIP codes and/or two-letter federal abbreviations for the state Republics which are united by and under the U.S. Constitution. 12. Counsel places this honorable Court, and all interested parties in the instant case, on formal Notice of the fact that He has witnessed original documents, certified by the official State Archivist of Colorado, proving that the original Thirteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution contains an explicit prohibition against titles of nobility and honor, and explicit penalties for their use, to wit: If any citizen of the United States shall accept, claim, receive, or retain any title of nobility or honor, or shall, without the consent of congress, accept and retain any present, pension, office or emolument of any kind whatever, from any emperor, king, prince, or foreign power, such person shall cease to be a citizen of the United States, and shall be incapable of holding any office of trust or profit under them, or either of them. [Thirteenth Amendment] [emphasis added] Affidavit of Causes and Objections to OSC: Page 6 of 15 Counsel concludes therefrom that the Appointment Affidavits of United States agents associated with the instant case, as required by 5 U.S.C. 3331, contain an Oath of Office which did bind them to support and defend a version of the U.S. Constitution which was, at the time when they executed said Oath, incorrectly published in federal depository libraries and in the official law books upon which this Court relied for conclusive evidence of the Law, then as now. 13. Counsel has also concluded from said Thirteenth Amendment that the retention of such titles as "Esquire", "Attorney", and/or "Lawyer", after actual knowledge of said Amendment has been demonstrated, causes all Persons, and all persons, retaining such titles to forfeit their Citizenship, and citizenship, respectively, and to become forever incapable of holding any public office under the United States, or under any of the several states united by and under the U.S. Constitution. Counsel also concludes therefrom that membership in any state bar association, and/or the American Bar Association ("ABA"), and/or the International Bar Association, likewise causes such a member to forfeit his/her Citizenship/citizenship forever and also to become forever incapable of holding any public office anywhere within the state or federal governments. Counsel also sincerely believes that His actual knowledge of the real Thirteenth Amendment obliges Him to report said Amendment to this honorable Court as a true and correct provision in the U.S. Constitution, because to conceal His actual knowledge of said Amendment would place him in jeopardy of being charged, and possibly convicted, of misprision of felony, in violation of Section 4 of Title 18, United States Code, the federal criminal code. Affidavit of Causes and Objections to OSC: Page 7 of 15 Counsel hereby certifies, under penalty of perjury, under the laws of the United States of America, without the "United States", that the above statements of fact are true and correct, to the best of My current information, knowledge, and belief, so help Me God, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1746(1). Executed: twenty-first day of the sixth month of the year one thousand nine hundred ninety-six Anno Domini (in the year of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ), /s/ Paul Andrew Mitchell ___________________________________________________ Paul Andrew, Mitchell, B.A., M.S.
