Yesterday, Audra Morgan from Eye of the Storm interviewed me for her podcast. We talked about the various channels that I have tried in my fight against government corruption and what has/has not succeeded so far. Check it out! if you want more information on what we discussed, links are below:
The Judge’s Verdict in the SDSC Case Was Blatantly Corrupt
Last year, I posted a video of a legal scholar named Dave Myrland who talked about how the tax man owns the court. I also wrote an article about how the legal system has been hijacked by government agencies who are unlawfully extracting extra revenue for their agencies. In my first appeal of penalties, interest and fees, I saw that the Office of Tax Appeal judges covered up the Franchise Tax Board’s bona fide criminal activities with an extremely deceptive and evasive verdict. It was no surprise when it happened again in the San Diego Superior Court case.
The biggest red flag that the case was rigged against me was that the judge denied an extension of the final hearing date. On January 23, 2022, my father got sick with a MRSA staph infection. He died on February 7. On February 18, FTB and I filed a stipulation to continue the hearing until September. The judge denied the stipulation on March 1. Since I thought the extension was a done deal, I focused on burial arrangements, moving my father’s belongings out of his apartment, probate, etc. When I found out the extension was denied, I only had 10 days to complete and file the extensive paperwork that was due. A paralegal of 23 years told me that she has never before seen a judge deny a hearing extension when both sides stipulated. And the fact that the denial took so long was suspicious.
Here is the tentative ruling, which was issued the day before the trial. He threw out the majority of the documents/evidence that I had submitted on the grounds of technical violations. The Opposition to FTB’s Motion for Sanctions exceeded the page limit and my Opposition to Summary Judgment was missing a table of contents and an authentication. He could have ordered me to re-submit these items and extend the hearing date, but he chose not to.
Just like with The OTA case, the judge refused to acknowledge the existence of FTB’s questionable business practices and refused to address the laws that I cited that proved that these business practices were unlawful. He also refused to acknowledge that the arguments the DOJ made were based on lies and deception, and that FTB had committed multiple counts of perjury and had improperly withheld and redacted documents to hide evidence. Likewise, the judge refused to acknowledge that the DOJ had posted my husband’s and my social security numbers online. If I had done the things that FTB/DOJ had done, the judge would have thrown me in jail. And yet for FTB/DOJ, he just pretended as if none of it had happened.
In the oral arguments, I asked the judge to amend his ruling. Here is the summary of the oral arguments:

For the Motion for Summary Judgement, I had to resubmit the evidence that I had already submitted in a different format. This format is easier to understand and follow. While it was tedious to put together, this format makes the evidence damning. FTB’s assorted schemes and the mechanisms of how the schemes are perpetrated are obvious, so hopefully other people can use the SUFs as a guide to find the fraud in their own records.
Unfortunately, I forgot to attach an exhibit list when I submitted it. The judge threw out all of the evidence because of no exhibit list, and I lost my case because the case didn’t stand without evidence. I asked if I could submit an exhibit list. The judge said no. I asked if I could use FTB’s evidence, as most of my evidence was the same as FTB’s. The judge said no.

On September 1, 2021, FTB filed a Motion for Sanctions against me in a blatant attack of retaliation, harassment and obstruction of justice.
On March 7, 2021, I filed my Opposition to their Motion for Sanctions and my own request for sanctions against FTB for:
- Violation of Code Civ. Proc., §128.5 and §128.7(b): Motion is Frivolous (page 30)
- Violation of CA Rules of the Court 1.201: Failure to Redact Personal Information (page 32)
- Violation of CRC 3.1348: Failure to Provide Discovery (page 39)

Bar Complaint Filed Against Deputy Attorney General Anna Barsegyan
On December 19, 2022, I filed a Bar Complaint against against Deputy Attorney General Anna Barsegyan where I requested that she be disbarred. Here is a quick summary of the most egregious of the allegations in the Bar Complaint. The evidence that I included to substantiate the allegations was the second Federal Criminal Complaint that I filed against her, all the evidence for the FCC, and the DOJ email chain.
I believe that Anna Barsegyan crossed the line from representing her client into actively participating in her client’s criminal cover-up. To accomplish this cover up, she used an assortment of unlawful tactics, including Harassment, Retaliation, Violation of Rights, Abuse of the Court System, and Obstruction of Justice. In doing so, she repeatedly violated the American Bar Association rules 8.4 (a), (c) and (g).

Every year, the Franchise Tax Board hosts the Annual Taxpayer Bill of Rights Meeting, where constituents can make suggestions on how to change tax law and/or FTB policy and procedure to improve the system. FTB asks that you send them a written Request in advance, but it is not required; verbal Requests are accepted. Whether or not people can make a written request without speaking at the meeting is questionable. FTB let me do so in 2017, but others have told me FTB says that is not allowed.
Below is the written submission that I sent to FTB for the 2022 meeting. I participated in the meeting remotely; here is the video that I made of myself giving the speech.
Here is the text of the speech, which is shorter than written submission. The video of the full meeting is here, and I spoke from 14:35 – 19:45.

Re: Eleven (11) Requests for Annual Taxpayer Bill of Rights Meeting
Hello Taxpayer Advocate Staff:
Here are my eleven (11) requests for the 2022 Annual Taxpayer Bill of Rights Meeting. I’ve included the Board Members on this email, as well. Since I know most of you are too busy to read long letters, I have highlighted the key sentence of each item.

The legislative year starts at the beginning of September. From September to December, each legislator decides what they want to introduce for the next year. Below is a Legislative Request that I sent for the 2023 session.
November 29, 2022
Dear Governor Newsom Staff, GovOps Staff, Senate Governance and Finance Committee Members and Staff, Assembly Committee on Revenue and Taxation Members and Staff, and FTB Legislative Staff:
I request that you repeal Revenue and Tax Code 19179(c)(2) as this law is a violation of the California and US Constitutions. This law allows the Franchise Tax Board (FTB) to penalize a taxpayer $5,000 for exercising their right to Protest. This law directly violates R&TC Sections 21010 and 20102, which guarantees the Right to Protest as a part of the California Taxpayer Bill of Rights. It is unconscionable that a law that allows the taxation agency to punish someone for exercising their rights was enacted in the first place.
This issue goes beyond civil rights. The Franchise Tax Board sends notices threatening that the Taxpayer will be assessed a penalty of $5,000 if the Taxpayer does not withdraw his Protest or alter his return as preferred by the bureau. These coercive threats of penalty violate multiple federal criminal codes, including 18 USC §1512, Tampering with a witness; 18 USC §872 and §1951(b), Extortion; 18 USC §876 and §1341, Mailing threatening communications.

The legislative year starts at the beginning of September. From September to December, each legislator decides what they want to introduce for the next year. Below is a Legislative Request that I sent for the 2023 session.
November 29, 2022
Dear Governor Newsom Staff, GovOps Staff, Senate Governance and Finance Committee Members and Staff, Assembly Committee on Revenue and Taxation Members and Staff, and FTB Legislative Staff:
I request that you immediately change California State law to recognize married couples as one tax entity in accordance with the guidelines set forth by the IRS.
The IRS treats married couples as a single taxpaying entity from the moment the couple notifies IRS of marriage until the couple notifies IRS that the marital status has changed. However, FTB considers all individuals as unmarried. Each year, after a married couple files that year’s return, FTB updates their internal records with proper marital status for only that particular year. I believe that:
1. FTB utilizes this loophole in the system in order to falsely impose penalties and fees via policy and procedure violations
2 FTB utilizes this loophole to unlawfully enrich themselves by demanding extra additional tax liability and penalty payments above and beyond what FTB knows — by its own records — is actually owed.
3. This policy violates the 14th Amendment of the Constitution

The Colossal Criminal Conspiracy Behind the IRS – The Penalty Scam by Roger (Buck) Knipp
Roger (Buck) Knipp wrote a book a while ago called The Colossal Criminal Conspiracy Behind the IRS – The Penalty Scam. He has just released an updated version of his book with a new section on the corruption at the California Franchise Tax Board.
Here is the blurb: “IRS” and “FTB” fraudulently “assess” $5,000 penalties in response to almost any return or document that they disfavor or don’t understand, and more if the target is married or tries to explain. Ironically, there are no enacted code sections or regulations permitting “frivolous submission” penalties on the average American. With the help of professional researchers and 6 years in law school, the author was ultimately able to penetrate the corruption and expose the Grand Conspiracy. The 75-page Verified Criminal Complaint in the book explains the actual written law and condemns bureau employees who unlawfully impose the penalty scam. Discover how victims are pushing back against the California FTB. Keep your liberty, rights, and property by fighting back with the words of the government’s own laws. Don’t read this book if penalty notices are welcome in your mailbox. There is a large new section on the FTB and a California criminal complaint added.
This book lays out the guidelines that we are using for our Federal Criminal Complaints. Order your copy from The Bookpatch.
Ten (10) Requests for 2021 Annual Taxpayer Bill of Rights Meeting
This year’s Franchise Tax Board Annual Taxpayers Bill of Rights Meeting was held online on Thursday, December 2, 2021. Here is the five-minute speech that I made.
FTB prefers, but does not require, that you submit the requests in writing prior to the meeting so they know what to expect. There is no limit to how long a written submission can be, so my written submission was much longer and more detailed than the speech was.
