On today’s live call-in from the Radio Ranch, we worked through stream hiccups and then dove straight into the thick of status, jurisdiction, and how to fight state and local overreach without losing your shirt. Listeners from California, Georgia, Colorado, and beyond shared real cases—liens, levies, property-tax fights, DMV title blocks, and Franchise Tax Board actions—while we compared notes on administrative record-building, when and how to use affidavits, and why having your own court reporter matters. We covered practical tools like California’s FTB 3525 (substitute for W‑2/1099‑R), IRS Form 4852, the nonresident path using 1040‑NR, where W‑8BEN actually fits, and the limits people run into if the feds simply ignore filings. We also touched on possible venues (like the U.S. Court of Federal Claims), and asset-protection basics (LLCs and trusts) so you can confront tyranny without becoming a target of opportunity. We took questions on nonresident filings for contractors, correcting 1099‑R messes, and how to keep a clean administrative trail. Then we zoomed out to bigger-picture items listeners raised: state legislative overreach, winter weather disruptions, and claims of geoengineering—pointing folks to do their own homework and stay evidence-based. If you’re new here, this episode is a fast tour of both mindset and mechanics: proceed carefully, document everything, protect your assets, and use the forms, forums, and venues that actually exist—while keeping your cool under pressure.'Euro Folk Radio (simulcast host)': https://eurofolkradio.com/'Radio Soapbox (syndication site)': https://radiosoapbox.com/'Global Voice Radio Network (network home)': https://www.globalvoiceradio.net/'Republic Broadcasting Network (RBN)': https://republicbroadcasting.org/'IRS: About Form W‑8BEN': https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-w-8-ben'IRS: About Form 1040‑NR': https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-1040-nr'IRS: About Form 4852 (Substitute for W‑2 or 1099‑R)': https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-4852'California FTB: Form 3525 (Substitute for W‑2 or 1099‑R)': https://www.ftb.ca.gov/forms/2024/2024-3525.pdf'26 CFR § 1.1‑1 (Income tax on individuals) – LII/Cornell': https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/26/1.1-1'8 U.S.C. § 1502 (Certificate of nationality) – LII/Cornell': https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1502'ATF Form 4473 (current guidance)': https://www.atf.gov/firearms/tools-and-services-firearms-industry/current-licensees/updated-atf-form-4473-firearms-transaction-record-august-2023-revisions'U.S. Court of Federal Claims (general information)': https://www.uscfc.uscourts.gov/'Harvard Business Services (Delaware LLC/registered agent)': https://www.delawareinc.com/'FreeConferenceCall (platform we use for live participation)': https://ww
