"All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed, second
it is violently opposed, and third, it is accepted as self-evident."

[You may recall in August 2003, a report about a woman named Kugler winning a case with the IRS over taxes. There have been many cases over the years, but they usually do not make a big splash in the news. But, with the internet, more of them are getting noticed.]
Dec. 11 - A Lake Mary chiropractor beat the IRS this week when a federal judge in Orlando threw out an income tax evasion case against her.
It was the second time in 11 years that Lois Somerville of Advanced Chiropractic Clinic has defeated a case against her for lack of evidence.
"She is extremely relieved and grateful the ordeal is over," said lawyer Steven L. Sands of Daytona Beach, who defended the case with his brother and fellow attorney, Kenton V. Sands of Orlando.
The victory came late Tuesday afternoon on the fifth day of trial when U.S. District Judge Patricia C. Fawsett issued a judgment of acquittal before the case went to the jury.
"Essentially, she felt the government was unable to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt," said Sands, who would not comment further on Fawsett's decision.
A spokesman for the Department of Justice tax division in Washington, D.C., could not be reached.
In September, Somerville was charged in a federal indictment with evading taxes from 1990 through 1998. If convicted, she had faced up to five years in prison and $1.25 million in fines.
The indictment charged her with reporting as little as $1,000 to at most $6,000 in each of those years. The indictment did not specify the amount of taxes, penalties and interest she was charged with evading.
Prosecutors with the tax division of the U.S. Department of Justice claimed Somerville concealed her true earnings from the IRS by depositing most of her income into two trusts. She created the Somerville Family Trust in 1990 "in an effort to keep her personal residence out of the reach of an Internal Revenue Service tax lien," according to the indictment.
The second trust was the Advanced Chiropractic Clinic Trust.
Somerville did not return telephone messages.
Advanced Chiropractic does not have a telephone listing, but directory assistance gave the phone number for Crystal Lake Chiropractic. That chiropractic clinic on West Wilbur Avenue in Lake Mary shares the same address as one of the business addresses listed for Somerville in Florida corporate records.
In 1992 the chiropractor served as her own lawyer when the state Fifth District Court of Appeal in Daytona Beach ruled that state insurance investigators illegally seized her patient, billing and bank records.
The raid followed a nine-month investigation of her practice, then on West Lake Mary Boulevard, that produced eight counts of business fraud and one count of organized fraud.
State prosecutors dropped the case, saying they could not proceed without the seized records.
Unrelated charges of grand theft and forgery in a separate case against
Somerville were dropped in 1992 when prosecutors said they had witness
problems.

[Several articles have been brought to you
via the Rocky View about things like
the mark of the beast and government tracking people and corporate tracking
people. For some people, this is a great thing and they are not bothered
by it. But, for those who have studied history, politics, economics,
government and the like, and for those who have studied Scripture, this
type device is a sign of the times and a reason to be concerned, beyond
the norm.]
Applied Digital Solutions is hoping their 12-by-2.1mm radio frequency identification tag catches on as an under-the-skin alternative to an ATM or credit card. |
Radio frequency identification tags aren't just for pallets of goods in supermarkets anymore. Applied Digital Solutions (ADS) of Palm Beach, Fla., is hoping that Americans can be persuaded to implant RFID chips under their skin to identify themselves when going to a cash machine or in place of using a credit card.
The surgical procedure, which is performed with local anesthetic, embeds a 12-by-2.1mm RFID tag in the flesh of a human arm. ADS Chief Executive Scott Silverman, in a speech at the ID World 2003 conference in Paris last Friday, said his company had developed a “VeriPay� RFID technology and was hoping to find partners in financial services firms.
