CharLee Simons had me back to talk about the $10-million program to hunt down illegals, FTB accounting fraud/Betty Yee, voiding bad legislation/oath update, Civil Grand Juries, legislative requests & more

Below are the show notes. I have a few more links to add, particularly with documents that I need to redact and upload. I won’t be able to finish it today, but I wanted to get this posted anyways since most of the links are already in place.

3:30 — Facebook psychological testing: This is an example of a psychology study done via Facebook that was published. Facebook had to pay a $725 million settlement to users for selling personal preference data to a company that made targeted political ads.

7:00 — Allegations that YouTube manipulates the algorithms to keep certain channels/content from getting many views: this article basically says that the Big Tech companies all say these claims are bogus, but does admit that the algorithms are opaque, so no one really knows for sure.

Table of Contents of My FTB Fight

I know that my website can be difficult to navigate, so here is a “FTB Table of Contents”: a list of what I have done with links to more information on each item. I am still working on adding links, so if you need more information ASAP on a particular topic, post a comment and I will make digging that particular info up a priority.

The issue that started it all:

Between the years 2008 and 2016, the Franchise Tax Board, California’s Income Tax Agency, “lost” 16 of the 20 payments that my husband and I had made. When I say “lost,” I mean that they cashed our checks right away, but didn’t apply the money to our account. Instead of locating the “lost fund,” FTB aggressively harassed me to pay the “outstanding balance” and imposed penalties for “paying late.” Here is the list of payments.

The Bona Fide Criminal Schemes I’ve Uncovered:

The 8 schemes to overcharge taxpayers that were documented via court records.

  • The Legal Process (Statutory Law)

2018 Annual Taxpayer Bill of Rights Requests

As I was updating my latest posts with links to older posts, I realized I had never posted about the 2018 Annual Taxpayer Bill of Rights Meeting. Here is the text of the speech that I made and this is the video:

Due to the time limitations on the speech, the written requests are much more detailed than the oral requests. Here are written requests 1 – 6 and here are 7 – 8. This addendum contains a letter signed by Christopher Calhoun in which I believe he committed fraud and violated my taxpayer rights. This second addendum contains an email chain between myself and Susan Maples in which I believe she committed fraud and violated my taxpayer rights.

Here is FTB’s response. I believe that Susan Maples also committed multiple counts of fraud in this response.

Note: I am not suicidal, I don’t have depression issues, I am a careful driver, I rarely drink alcohol, and I do not use drugs of any kind (not even aspirin). My family lives a wholesome life. If something happens to me or my family that is out of character for us, we were set up by the State of California as revenge for exposing their crimes.

Restore Rebuild Had Me Back to Give an Update on the Petition to Have State Senator Scott Wiener’s Legislative Work Voided

Show Notes:

1:30 – 6:00 Recap of my government corruption fight – how I went from fighting against the California Franchise Tax Board to end schemes to overcharge taxpayers to fighting against the State Senate to have Scott Wiener vacated from office for working unlawfully without an oath.

FTB’s 2024 Annual Taxpayer Bill of Rights (ATBOR) Meeting

The speech was limited to 5 minutes, so it was short and succinct. This is the text of the speech. The written submission is long and detailed, and includes links to proof of the allegations made. FTB’s response is here*.

This year, I’ve also made three legislative change requests: 1 treat married couples as a single tax entity. This has more details on exactly how the married couple embezzlement/racketeering scheme works that I’d referred to in the speech. 2. Repeal 1917C2 as it violates our right to protest. 3: Remove the loophole that lets FTB evade our right to due process.

Summary: This year, I made 7 ATBOR requests:

Jacques Israel Had Me Back on Restore Rebuild to Talk About How “We The People” Vacate Weiner From Office

In this 45-minute audio-only podcast, we talked about a wide variety of topics, including removing Wiener from office, the fact that I’ve caught five more legislators working unlawfully without oaths, several concerning laws that have passed in recent years, and about “learned helpless syndrome” that most Americans seem to be suffering from.

Here are links to the various things we talked about:

The New Electricity Rate Scheme: Another Facet of Government Tracking

TLDR: I believe that the purpose of the new electricity rate scheme is to force everyone in California to file an income tax return. 

In California, people who make less than $12,550 if filing single or $25,100 if filing jointly are not required to file a tax return (unless you have a business license. In California, anyone with a business license of any type is required to file a tax return). 

Since 2017, I have been watching all of the Franchise Tax Board’s quarterly Board meetings. Over the years, FTB has frequently discussed how they can incentivize people to file returns when they are not required to do so. At first, I found it strange that the tax agency was so focused on people that they know don’t owe any money in taxes. But eventually I realized that the State of California uses tax returns as part of a data collection system to track and exploit people, and the State wants everyone enrolled in their system. 

This became crystal clear at the March 2022 meeting, in which Susan Maples, Director of the Economic and Statistical Research Bureau, gave an uber creepy presentation about how for the last decade, her department has been stalking low-income people who are not required to file. To get information on them, she partnered with “many community-based advocates as well as our peer state agencies.” She stated that she’d worked closely with the California Department of Social Services and the Department of Health Care Services, and focused on people enrolled in the CalFresh and MediCal programs.

Legislative Change Request #3 for 2023 — Repeal R&TC 19179(c)(2)

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.

Legislative Change Request #2 for 2023: Tax Agencies to Comply with Due Process Laws

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 am writing to request that you enact a legislative change in the 2023 legislative cycle. 
In California, a creditor is required to prove to a judge that a debt is owed and get the judge’s authorization to implement a wage garnishment, bank levy or lien. The exception is the taxation agencies. I request that this loophole be closed, and that the taxation agencies be required to prove to an independent judge that a debt/penalty is actually owed prior to implementation of collection tools. 

The Franchise Tax Board has a proven track record of egregious procedural irregularities, including accounting irregularities and irregularities in the processing of Protests. These irregularities lead to the false imposition of wage garnishments, liens and levies (more details can be found in my other requests: Close the Married Loophole and Legislative Change Request #3 — Repeal R&TC 19179(c)(2)). Here is one example that I personally experienced:
