TLDR:

In October 2016, I discovered that California’s income tax agency, the Franchise Tax Board, is running an embezzlement and racketeering scheme. In January 2020, I filed a lawsuit against them in San Diego Superior Court to try to get a judge to order them to stop this practice. I am acting as my own attorney. The verdict is set to be handed down on Friday, March 25. Please pray that the judge orders them to end the scheme. It will mean that the Franchise Tax Board will have to dramatically change their standard operating procedures in a way that makes the agency more fair to all California taxpayers.

Details:

In October 2016, the Franchise Tax Board told me that accepting my timely made estimated tax payments, but not applying the money to my account right away was “required by law.” However, they refused to tell me which law. At that moment, I knew it was my calling from God to stop this practice. More details: https://gwsandiego.net/blog/?page_id=14

I spent three years trying to get the practice halted via bureaucratic channels. The various agencies and legislators made it clear that no one in government was going to interfere with their employer’s revenue stream, no matter how blatantly illegal. Here is a short video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUenmd6YHZE&list=PLAkSTXk9sO0GfbvJOQIEOesJ-3IODh9vJ&index=11

I realized suing was my only option. I talked to three attorneys, who quoted me $100k, $300k and $800k. Since I couldn’t afford an attorney, I decided to represent myself pro se. I filed suit in January 2020.

Through the discovery process, several more illicit schemes were exposed. There are 8 that are documented beyond plausible deniability: text: https://gwsandiego.net/blog/?p=611 or video: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAkSTXk9sO0GfbvJOQIEOesJ-3IODh9vJ. There are several more that I am working on documenting.

In my case, the FTB committed 11 counts of perjury, withheld pertinent evidence and improperly redacted proof of fraud in their accounting records. This document is almost a year old and covers 8 counts of perjury and improper withholding of some documents: https://gwsandiego.net/blog/?p=870. I have another document to redact and upload with the additional allegations documented. Hopefully, I’ll get to that in the next few days.

The FTB is being represented by the California Department of Justice, and the Attorney-General’s office has retaliated against me and my husband, harassed me and violated my civil rights in order to try to cover up FTB’s criminal activities: https://gwsandiego.net/blog/?p=1049.

The verdict is going to be issued on Friday, March 25.

Specific Prayer Requests

Strength: I am physically and emotionally exhausted. Please pray that He fills me.

Protection: The attorney general’s office has already retaliated and harassed me and my family for exposing the corruption. So far, my family has been protected from the blowback. Please pray that we continue to be protected and that they stop the retaliation and harassment.

Upcoming Speeches: On Friday the 25th, I will have to make Oral Arguments for my case. And on Tuesday, the 22nd, I will be giving a speech at a FTB Board Meeting. Please pray both go well. Here are some of my previous speeches at board meetings: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAkSTXk9sO0FpPKvyQe6JDo8_crqgRWMd

Truth Wins: It is unlikely that a judge employed by the State of California is going to rule against his employer’s revenue source. Please pray that he does the right thing for the people of CA despite political pressure.

More Evidence Comes Out: There are a lot of missing pieces to the puzzle… in particular, where the money goes while it is being “withheld” from the taxpayer’s account... and why so many accounting irregularities with these withheld payments. Please pray that more evidence is exposed so that we can see the whole picture. I suspect that FTB’s Board of Directors are hiding an off-the-books spending account.

FTB Staff Stop the Corruption from Within: My case only deals with a couple of specific corruption issues, but there are many more. Please pray that FTB staff decide that they will no longer comply with any unethical or unlawful practices and that they transform the agency from within.

Thank you all for your prayers! Psalm 64
