Homeland Security Responds
to Helicopter Harassment at Brown's Private Picnic

On Saturday, July 14, a Department of Homeland Security Helicopter
hovered over the home of Ed and Elaine Brown for over four hours,
skimming the tree tops and beeping its on-board siren at a crowd
of over 200 people who had assembled there to enjoy a barbecue
picnic and concert with the Browns.
The Fort Fairfield Journal has received a copy of a letter from
the Department of Homeland Security to Senator Collins regarding
the incident.
The letter states the helicopter was a U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) aircraft, whose agents were operating in support
of U.S. Marshall Service and Internal Revenue Service agents in
an ongoing investigation of Ed and Elaine Brown.
“Ed and Elaine Brown are convicted felons under federal
tax statutes,” wrote Luke P. Bellocchi, Assistant Commissioner,
Office of Congressional Affairs with the U.S. Customs and Border
Protection. “Since their conviction, the Browns have resisted
federal arrest warrants by securing themselves in a compound and
refusing to surrender themselves to federal law enforcement officials.”

There is currently no law in the United States requiring the
filing of an income tax form, or payment of the taxes. Since there
is no law, the Browns are guilty of nothing and the Federal Court
ruling and arrest warrant are therefore bogus. Tax researcher,
Tommy Cryer recently won a court case against the I.R.S. where
I.R.S. agents and attorneys for the United States were unable
to prove to a jury there is any law requiring the filing or payment
of income tax in the United States.
Contrary to Bellocchi’s opinion that the Browns are secured
in a “compound,” this writer has visited their home
and found it to be a well-kept home in a secluded, upper class
part of town. The use of the word “compound” to describe
what is otherwise a couple’s home is likely a psychological
warfare term designed to portray a negative image on otherwise
peaceful, God-fearing Americans who simply want their government
to be held accountable when enforcing laws that simply don’t
exist.
While the Browns and their guests were enjoying each other’s
company in the midst of a picnic and concert, the helicopter continuously
skimmed the crowd and hovered over the treetops in an apparent
harassment and intimidation exercise. Bellocchi defends those
actions by writing, “The operation involving the aircraft
was necessary to further apprehension of the Browns and to secure
officer safety in that effort. No violations of agency policy
or regulations occurred during the mission.”
Due to operational security and officer safety, Bellocchi was
unable to release the names of the pilots or agents involved in
that ongoing operation.
Bellocchi admits that intelligence data reveals that "the
Brown compound contains significant passive and active traps and
devices designed to thwart apprehension. Surveillance and video
footage provided by the CBP aircraft was necessary to the law
enforcement efforts of both the I.R.S. and U.S. Marshals in the
performance of their duties."
The Browns continue to resist the illegal arrest warrant on the
fraudulent Failure to File court ruling, issued in the Spring
of this year. A third “Live Free or Die” concert is
scheduled at their home on September 15. Go to www.makethestand.com
