Generally, sovereigns say they are not subject to most national laws and do not have to pay taxes, a belief that often brings them into conflict with law enforcement authorities. The Assemblies of the Counties has been tied to threats made against Washington Gov. Chris Gregoire and King County Prosecuting Attorney Dan Satterberg. A so-called \u201ccommon law jury\u201d involving members of the group recently declared militia leader Francis Schaeffer Cox \u201cnot guilty\u201d of felony charges he faces in Alaska. It\u2019s ruling has no legal meaning.<\/p>\n<p>&gt;&gt;JSCC advocates nothing associated with sovereignty, yet acknowledges the one sovereign Lord in all things.\u00a0 JSCC will not act in conflict with any government authority.\u00a0 JSCC has no association with common law as it is defined by the US system.<\/p>\n<p>Myrland pleaded guilty to the federal charge in August after freely admitting to federal agents that he threatened government officials in the belief that Washington state law allows him to arrest any person he thinks committed a felony.<\/p>\n<p>&gt;&gt;JSCC does nothing based on state written law.<\/p>\n<p>Further, the sentencing memo said, Myrland believed the \u201cpowers of a citizen\u2019s arrest allowed him to force entry to the homes of any \u2018felon\u2019 and use any force required, including deadly force, to arrest them,\u201d the court documents say.<\/p>\n<p>&gt;&gt;JSCC has no association with citizens of the US.<\/p>\n<p>Myrland\u2019s close friend and fellow Assemblies of the Counties member is accountant Timothy Garrison, of Mount Vernon, Wash. Garrison pleaded guilty last month to preparing false income tax returns that cheated the U.S. government out of an estimated $2.5 million. He is scheduled to be sentenced in February.<\/p>\n<p>&gt;&gt;JSCC will never advocate, any creation, of any form, of any tax documents, for the US.<\/p>\n<p>After Myrland was arrested Jan. 25 on a federal charge of \u201ctransmission of a threatening interstate communication,\u201d federal agents searched his home and found illegal drugs and 22 ammunition magazines and 2,000 rounds of ammunition for a 9mm pistol.<\/p>\n<p>&gt;&gt;Funny the drug has no name??\u00a0 It may have been one sleeping pill of a friend.\u00a0 These people (government paid \u201cfree\u201d lance writers) often paint misleading pictures of good men.<\/p>\n<p>The search also turned up \u201ca considerable volume of quasi-legal documents pertaining to threats to arrest government officials,\u201d including an \u201cextraordinary writ of probable cause\u201d to arrest Washington\u2019s governor, the court documents say. Agents also found similar arrests warrants for the arrest of Kirkland Mayor Joan McBride and a Kirkland assistant city attorney.<\/p>\n<p>&gt;&gt;JSCC has no business with considering determination associated with arresting anyone. \u00a0<strong>The IJSCC jury\/judges have no association with execution, they only make a determination, of what they believe is\u00a0accurate, all being based on God&#8217;s written word alone.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe law applies to everyone,\u201d U.S. District Judge Ricardo S. Martinez told Myrland at sentencing Friday, \u201cand the consequences of breaking the law apply to everyone as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Myrland could have faced as much as 87 months in federal prison, depending on whether the court concluded he had accepted responsibility for his crime \u2013 something prosecutors said didn\u2019t occur. Ultimately, federal prosecutors recommended 48 months, and the judge settled on the 40-month term.<\/p>\n<p>&gt;&gt;Though Myrland&#8217;s acts may have been 100% lawful the JSCC will not participate in such areas.<\/p>\n<p>The high-profile prosecution brought comment from Jenny A. Durkan, the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Washington. \u201cOur cherished right to free speech does not extend to the freedom to make threats against our public officials and law enforcement officers,\u201d she said. Myrland\u2019s crimes \u201chad real victims,\u201d Durkan added.\u00a0 \u201cFor too long, Kirkland Mayor Joan McBride and other city officials have had to live with the specter of Mr. Myrland\u2019s armed associates invading their homes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Durkan said she \u201capplauded the courage\u201d of the mayor and other city officials who attended the sentencing hearing in Seattle and described to the judge \u201chow this defendant\u2019s selfish campaign of threats and quasi legal filings has altered their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After the threats were made, the mayor was provided with extra police protection at additional cost to Kirkland taxpayers.<\/p>\n<p>&gt;&gt;It is odd that no mention of what Myrland claimed the Mayor did to violate law.<\/p>\n<p>Myrland\u2019s campaign of threats began after he was arrested in 2010 when he was pulled over by Kirkland police for driving without a license plate or driver\u2019s license \u2013 a common practice for the growing number of sovereigns throughout the United States, most of whom believe the government has no right to regulate their travel on the open road. (As a result, conflicts with law enforcement officials frequently develop on the road. In May 2010, a sovereign duo murdered two West Memphis, Ark., police officers who had pulled them over.) Myrland had a 9mm semiautomatic pistol and a loaded magazine on the seat beside him.<\/p>\n<p>During that traffic stop, Myrland repeatedly claimed that Washington State traffic laws didn\u2019t apply to him, and that if he was arrested he would be \u201cconstitutionally authorized to come to the officer\u2019s residence and arrest him at any time,\u201d prosecutors said in court documents.<\/p>\n<p>&gt;&gt;I, Paul Hansen, personally would never recommend that or even say such.\u00a0 There is no evidence that Myrland was not going to work with the local sheriff on all these matters.<\/p>\n<p>Myrland later took his encounter with Kirkland police to his associates in the sovereign citizens group. The group has an armed wing called the County Rangers whose members are required to own firearms and possess realistic-looking but fake badges and law enforcement credentials.<\/p>\n<p>Members of the Assemblies of the Counties believe the American \u201ccommon law\u201d government set up by the founding fathers has been secretly replaced by a new government based on admiralty law \u2013 the law of the sea and international commerce.\u00a0 They also believe that judges know about this secret government takeover, but deny sovereign citizen legal filings because of \u201ctreasonous loyalty to hidden and malevolent government forces,\u201d according to documents filed in Myrland\u2019s case.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn today\u2019s heated climate, intemperate statements and threats to government officials are unfortunately not uncommon,\u201d federal prosecutors said. But what distinguished Myrland \u201cfrom the garden-variety threat case is that he was not just acting by himself, but [with] others in the so-called \u2018sovereign citizen\u2019 movement, who share his odd belief system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When Myrland is released from federal prison a little more than three years from now, federal authorities say they will be concerned. \u201cUnfortunately, Myrland\u2019s arrogance, his anger and his inability to even consider the possibility that he is in the wrong in this matter come through in various letters to the court and probation [officers],\u201d the sentencing memo said. \u201cThe evidence amply supports [the] conclusion that Myrland remains a danger to the community and is a virtual certainty to re-offend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&gt;&gt;Remember Myrland spoke and wrote of considering doing a believed right of the people, he violated no law of God.<\/p>\n<p>&gt;&gt;Myrland, though, in my opinion not acting appropriately in this instance, may have a very good handle on the role of the people to govern their society on God\u2019s Word, and not give this duty over to a humanistic structure as the US system is.\u00a0 Most of the US system does the opposite of God\u2019s will, they kill millions of babies and some people still try to tell me that they are God\u2019s government.\u00a0 I say God is our governor, no one else.\u00a0\u00a0 Paul Hansen 1-28-2014<\/p>\n<p>Click <a title=\"INFO\" href=\"http:\/\/freeinhabitant.info\/?p=25\">HERE<\/a> to view the list of foundational information created by Lawyer Paul John Hansen to aid in independence from the US System.
