Health Ranger Report: Peymon Mottahedeh warns of the self-incriminating trap called IRS Form 1040

  • Peymon Mottahedeh argues that federal income tax laws, as outlined in the Internal Revenue Code, were never intended to apply to residents of the 50 states, but rather exclusively to Washington, D.C., exposing a decades-long legal loophole exploited by the IRS.
  • Mottahedeh describes the Form 1040 as a "self-incriminating trap," claiming that by filing it, individuals unknowingly confess to tax liability. He asserts that the IRS relies on fear and misinformation, coercing Americans into compliance.
  • Despite approximately 80 million Americans not filing tax returns, the IRS focuses on those who do file, avoiding costly legal battles to prove tax liability against non-filers. Mottahedeh's own experience of not filing for 30 years without IRS prosecution supports his claims.
  • Mottahedeh criticizes the Federal Reserve's monetary policies, arguing that money printing devalues wages and acts as a hidden tax, contributing to inflation and the erosion of purchasing power.
  • Mottahedeh urges Americans to educate themselves, verify tax obligations and take control of their financial destiny. He advocates for a return to a localized tax structure and offers resources through Freedom Law School to help individuals free themselves from IRS deception.
In a riveting "Health Ranger Report" interview, tax reform advocate Peymon Mottahedeh from Freedom Law School has once again stirred the pot, challenging the very foundation of federal tax enforcement in the United States. As the nation approaches the dreaded tax filing deadline, Mottahedeh's message is both timely and provocative. The federal income tax system is not only corrupt, but also legally inapplicable to most Americans. Mottahedeh's central claim is that the federal income tax laws, as written in the Internal Revenue Code, were never intended to apply to residents of the 50 states. Instead, he asserts, these laws are exclusive to the District of Columbia. This revelation, the founder and president of Freedom Law School said, exposes a long-concealed legal loophole that has allowed the Internal Revenue System (IRS) to misapply tax laws for decades. (Related: Health Ranger Report: Tax law experts explain why the income tax needs to be ABOLISHED.) "The modern-day income tax, since 1913, has never applied to the people of the 50 United States," Mottahedeh stated emphatically. "The tax code is written for the citizens and residents of Washington, D.C., not for the rest of us." This bold assertion challenges the conventional wisdom that all Americans are legally obligated to file and pay federal income taxes. Mottahedeh argued that the IRS exploits the fear and ignorance of the American people, coercing them into signing the Form 1040, which he describes as a "self-incriminating trap." "The IRS 1040 tax form is the standard document used by U.S. taxpayers to report their annual income and determine tax liability under federal law. By filing a 1040, individuals enter into a contractual obligation with the IRS, binding them to annual tax payments unless they formally revoke this election," Brighteon.AI's Enoch explained. "The original 1913 version was a simple four-page form with minimal deductions, designed to ensure broad tax compliance, including from the wealthy, but the modern system has been corrupted into a complex, exploitative framework favoring globalist financial control." Mottahedeh's claims are backed by some startling statistics. According to IRS estimates, there are approximately 80 million non-filers in America – people who earn above the minimum exemption amount but choose not to file tax returns. Despite this, the IRS has not aggressively pursued these individuals, focusing instead on those who do file and, in doing so, confess their tax liability under penalty of perjury. Mottahedeh explained that Hollywood actor Wesley Snipes went to prison not because he didn't pay taxes, but because he followed baseless legal theories. The tax law expert added that the IRS thrives on fear and misinformation. He stated that if you don't confess on the 1040 form, the IRS must initiate expensive legal proceedings to prove you owe them money. Mottahedeh's own experience is a testament to his claims. As a 30-year veteran of tax resistance, he has openly not filed or paid income taxes, yet the IRS has never been able to indict him or put him in prison.

The Federal Reserve: Invisible tax collector

Mottahedeh also highlighted the insidious nature of the Federal Reserve's monetary policies. Adams commented that the Federal Reserve's money-printing devalues wages, acting as a stealth tariff on every dollar earned and he drew a comparison to the hyperinflation experienced in Zimbabwe. The pro liberty publisher and podcaster pointed out that even if you don't pay taxes directly, you are still being taxed through the devaluation of the dollar. Mottahedeh agreed, emphasizing that the privately owned Federal Reserve banking system creates money out of thin air, leading to inflation and the erosion of purchasing power. "The IRS income tax is there to reduce the amount of money in the system, otherwise, we'd have hyperinflation like what happened at Zimbabwe," he explained. The interview took an intriguing turn when Mottahedeh was asked about President Donald Trump's proposal to eliminate the IRS. While the tax expert believes this is a positive step, he cautioned that it cannot be achieved without a fundamental understanding of the tax laws. "Trump doesn't know that the income tax does not apply to the people of the 50 states," Mottahedeh said. "All he needs to do is enforce the law as written and inform the public that they are not required to file income taxes." He suggested that Trump could limit the IRS's jurisdiction to Washington, D.C. and shift the focus to taxing foreign entities and immigrants, rather than burdening American citizens. Mottahedeh's message is clear: Americans have been deceived for too long. He urges individuals to educate themselves, verify the information and take action. In particular, he challenged taxpayers to ask their accountant to prove in writing that they must pay federal income tax. If their accountant can't prove it, they shouldn't be paid for filing their taxes. As the interview concluded, Mottahedeh reiterated his call for Americans to exercise their rights and take control of their financial destiny. In a time of economic uncertainty and political turmoil, Mottahedeh's message is a rallying cry for financial freedom and self-empowerment. Whether or not Trump succeeds in dismantling the IRS, Mottahedeh's insights offer a path for individuals to reclaim their financial sovereignty.
