REPORT Confirms CRA Sloppy with Security :CRA SOTW

Taxman sloppy about security: report


OTTAWA — The people who safeguard the tax information of millions of
Canadians have been forgetting to lock the doors.

A new audit slams the Canada Revenue Agency for repeated failures to
maintain even basic security at seven key offices in Quebec and
Ontario, including two in Ottawa.

"Certain exterior and interior perimeter doors were not adequately
secured and deadbolts and other hardware were used inappropriately or
were missing," says the audit report from June.

All but one of the offices were faulted for the shoddy way doors were
locked. Keys, combination locks and key-cards were not properly
tracked, secured or used.

And at three offices, electronic alarm systems designed to thwart
intruders were defective, unarmed or missing altogether.

The blistering report notes this isn't the first time the tax-
collection agency has been cited for shoddy physical security at its
offices.

"Certain vulnerabilities were already noted during inspections . . .
over the last few years and had not yet been corrected," the report
notes.

Security inspectors fanned out between April 2007 and March of this
year, prodding and poking around the doors, gates, turnstiles and
windows of some of the agency's busiest offices. They also interviewed
the people responsible for local security.

Not only did the facilities frequently fail basic security tests, but
the employees in charge of security appeared to be clueless about the
standards they were required to maintain.

"Most security stakeholders interviewed by the internal auditors had
little knowledge of the security standards or equipment examined in
the audit," says the report.

"At some of the sites visited, employees who had left their security
positions were the only ones familiar with certain essential
functions."

Spokesmen for the agency did not respond to requests for comment and
information about the audit, including the addresses of the seven
offices. But the report says security officials have given themselves
until Sept. 30 next year to correct all the problems.

The Canada Revenue Agency last year reported numerous thefts and
losses of equipment at its facilities, including 25 laptops, 17
cellphones, six BlackBerries, five printers and a router.

Included among the stolen items were two video-surveillance cameras,
meant to deter thieves, together worth $8,244.

Another surveillance camera was stolen the year before, along with
$10,000 worth of metal bars and door handles.

The audit did not examine the security of the agency's electronic data
systems, which themselves have come under fire for breaches.

In 2004, for example, an audit found that laptops used outside the
office were not locked up properly and confidential information was
kept on computers that were vulnerable to hacking.

That report followed the 2003 theft of four computers from an agency
office in Laval, Que., containing the personal information of 120,000
Canadians.

The June audit, released this month, was budgeted for $32,000 in
travel costs and 6,000 hours of auditors' time.

The agency employs the equivalent of 38,000 workers and operates from
more than 100 offices across Canada.

Abbot 2) What we are really waiting for is for Russell Porisky to
explain :

1.Why he misrepresented his tax case.

and

2.Why anyone should believe his methods will work after the
convictions of Eva Sydel and Chandler Turnnir, who used his method
faithfully.

Abbot) I’m just telling it like it is, Allan. There is no “case” to
make. As a matter of fact Porisky has misrepresented his tax case and
continues to pretend that he has a winning argument.

Porisky knew full well, or should have known, that he beat the tax rap
on mere prosecutorial error. Yet he pretended that his “natural
persons don’t have to pay taxes” argument won the day. He even
repeated that claim to me over the telephone!

REPORT Confirms CRA Sloppy with Security :CRA SOTW
Taxman sloppy about security: report
OTTAWA — The people who safeguard the tax information of millions of
Canadians have been forgetting to lock the doors.
A new audit slams the Canada Revenue Agency for repeated failures to
maintain even basic security at seven key offices in Quebec and
Ontario, including two in Ottawa.
"Certain exterior and interior perimeter doors were not adequately
secured and deadbolts and other hardware were used inappropriately or
were missing," says the audit report from June.
All but one of the offices were faulted for the shoddy way doors were
locked. Keys, combination locks and key-cards were not properly
tracked, secured or used.
And at three offices, electronic alarm systems designed to thwart
intruders were defective, unarmed or missing altogether.
The blistering report notes this isn't the first time the tax-
collection agency has been cited for shoddy physical security at its
offices.
"Certain vulnerabilities were already noted during inspections . . .
over the last few years and had not yet been corrected," the report
notes.
Security inspectors fanned out between April 2007 and March of this
year, prodding and poking around the doors, gates, turnstiles and
windows of some of the agency's busiest offices. They also interviewed
the people responsible for local security.
Not only did the facilities frequently fail basic security tests, but
the employees in charge of security appeared to be clueless about the
standards they were required to maintain.
"Most security stakeholders interviewed by the internal auditors had
little knowledge of the security standards or equipment examined in
the audit," says the report.
"At some of the sites visited, employees who had left their security
positions were the only ones familiar with certain essential
functions."
Spokesmen for the agency did not respond to requests for comment and
information about the audit, including the addresses of the seven
offices. But the report says security officials have given themselves
until Sept. 30 next year to correct all the problems.
The Canada Revenue Agency last year reported numerous thefts and
losses of equipment at its facilities, including 25 laptops, 17
cellphones, six BlackBerries, five printers and a router.
Included among the stolen items were two video-surveillance cameras,
meant to deter thieves, together worth $8,244.
Another surveillance camera was stolen the year before, along with
$10,000 worth of metal bars and door handles.
The audit did not examine the security of the agency's electronic data
systems, which themselves have come under fire for breaches.
In 2004, for example, an audit found that laptops used outside the
office were not locked up properly and confidential information was
kept on computers that were vulnerable to hacking.
That report followed the 2003 theft of four computers from an agency
office in Laval, Que., containing the personal information of 120,000
Canadians.
The June audit, released this month, was budgeted for $32,000 in
travel costs and 6,000 hours of auditors' time.
The agency employs the equivalent of 38,000 workers and operates from
more than 100 offices across Canada.

Abbot) I’m just telling it like it is, Allan. There is no “case” to

continues to pretend that he has a winning argument.
Porisky knew full well, or should have known, that he beat the tax rap
on mere prosecutorial error.  Yet he pretended that his “natural
persons don’t have to pay taxes” argument won the day. He even
repeated that claim to me over the telephone!
Now that Eva Sydel and Chandler Turnnir have bit the dust after using

CORPORATIONS

5. The United States of America are a corporation endowed with the
capacity to sue and be sued, to convey and receive property. 1 Marsh.
Dec. 177, 181. But it is proper to observe that no suit can be brought
against the United States without authority of law.

6. Nations or states, are denominated by publicists, bodies politic,
and are said to have their affairs and interests, and to deliberate
and resolve, in common. They thus become as moral persons, having an
understanding and will peculiar to themselves, and are susceptible of
obligations and laws. Vattel, 49. In this extensive sense the United
States may be termed a corporation; and so may each state singly. Per
Iredell, J. 3 Dall. 447.
----------
U.S. Supreme Court
CHISHOLM v. STATE OF GA., 2 U.S. 419 (1793)

"The only law concerning corporations, to which I conceive the least
reference is to be had, is the common law of England on that subject.
I need not repeat the observations I made in respect to the operation
of that law in this country. The word 'corporations,' in its largest
sense, has a more extensive meaning than people generally are aware
of. Any body politic (sole or aggregate) whether its power be
restricted or transcendant, is in this sense 'a corporation.' The
King, accordingly, in England is called a corporation. 10 Co. 29. b.
So also, by a very respectable author (Sheppard, in his abridgement,
1Vol. 431.) is the Parliament itself. In this extensive sense, not
only each State singly, but even the United States may without
impropriety be termed "corporations."

"As to corporations, all States whatever are corporations or bodies
politic. The only question is, what are their powers? As to individual
States and the United States, the Constitution marks the boundary of
powers.""
----------
U.S. Supreme Court
VAN BROCKLIN v. STATE OF TENNESSEE, 117 U.S. 151 (1886)

...

Mr. Justice GRAY, after stating the case as above reported, delivered
the opinion of the court:

The question presented by this writ of error is whether lands in the
state of Tennessee, which, pursuant to acts of congress for the laying
and collecting of direct taxes, are sold, struck off, and purchased by
the United States for the amount of the tax thereon, and are
afterwards sold by the United States for a larger sum. or redeemed by
the former owner, are liable to be taxed, under authority of the
state, while so owned by the United States. The judgment of the
supreme court of Tennessee rests upon the position that these lands,
although lawfully purchased by the United States, and owned by the
United States at the time of being taxed under the laws of the state,
were not exempt from state taxation, because they had not been
expressly ceded by the state to the United States. We are unable to
reconcile this position with a just view of the rights and powers
conferred upon the national government by the constitution of the
United States. The importance of [117 U.S. 151, 154] the subject, and
the consideration due to the opinion of that learned court, make it
proper to state somewhat fully the grounds of our conclusion.

In the words of Chief Justice MARSHALL: 'The United States is a
government, and consequently a body politic and corporate, capable of
attaining the objects for which it was created, by the means which are
necessary for their attainment. This great corporation was ordained
and established by the American people, and endowed by them with great
powers for important purposes. Its powers are unquestionably limited;
but while within those limits, it is as perfect a govement as any
other, having all the faculties and properties belonging to a
government, with a perfect right to use them freely, in order to
accomplish the objects of its institution.' U. S. v. Maurice, 2 Brock.
96, 109.
----------
U.S. Supreme Court
HEIM v. MCCALL, 239 U.S. 175 (1915)

...

The court of appeals reversed the action of the appellate division.
[239 U.S. 175, 188] The basic principle of the decision of the court
of appeals was that the state is a recognized unit, and those who are
not citizens of it are not members of it. Thus recognized it is a body
corporate, and, 'like any other body corporate, it may enter into
contracts and hold and dispose of property. In doing this, it acts
through agencies of government.
----------
U.S. Supreme Court
NGIRAINGAS v. SANCHEZ, 495 U.S. 182 (1990)

....

Even were I to accept the Court's premise that whether Territories are
"persons" for purposes of 1983 must be analyzed in light of the 1874
recodification of the Dictionary Act, I would reach the same
conclusion. Although the recodification eliminated the reference to
"body politic," this change did not exclude Territories from the scope
of 1983 because the recodification also provided that "the word
`person' may extend and be applied to partnerships and corporations,"
id., at 19 (emphasis added). At the time of the revision the term
"corporation" generally was thought to include political entities such
as a Territory. See Cong. Globe, 39th Cong., 2d Sess., 451 (1867)
(remarks of Rep. Bingham) (referring to the Territory of Nebraska as
"a corporation"). "The word `corporations,' in its largest sense, has
a more extensive meaning than people generally are aware of. Any body
politic (sole or aggregate) whether its power be restricted or
transcendant is in this sense `a corporation.'" Chisholm v. Georgia, 2
Dall. 419, 447 (1793) (Iredell, J.). 8 A Territory thus would [495
U.S. 182, 202] qualify as a "person" even under the 1874
recodification of the Dictionary Act.

[ Footnote 8 ] At common law, a "corporation" was an "artificial perso
[n] endowed with the legal capacity of perpetual succession"
consisting either of a single individual (termed a "corporation sole")
or of a collection of several individuals (a "corporation aggregate").
3 H. Stephen, Commentaries on the Laws of England 166, 168 (1st Am.
ed. 1845). The sovereign was considered a corporation. See id., at
170; see also 1 W. Blackstone, Commentaries *467. Under the
definitions supplied by contemporary law dictionaries, Territories
would have been classified as "corporations" (and hence as "persons")
at the time that 1983 was enacted and the Dictionary Act recodified.

were originally modeled upon a state or nation"); 1 J. Bouvier, A Law
Dictionary Adapted to the Constitution and Laws of the United States

Readers!!! To understand the "law" is the understanding of
CORPORATIONS and their corporate structures. And of course it is with
this understanding that we see that regardless of its subset,
"natural" or "artificial", a PERSON simply denotes a FICTITIOUS
"entity" (legal personality) found within the fictitious realm of a
corporation and this is what Porisky fails to understand. Indeed,
according to the expert testimony of Patrick Healy, professor of law
at McGill University, a CORPORATION by DEFINITION is a FICTION which
can be referred, without impropriety, to a FICTITIOUS ENTITY.


----------
37th PARLIAMENT, 1st SESSION
http://www2.parl.gc.ca/HousePublications/Publication.aspx?DocId=652689&Language=E&Mode=1&Parl=37&Ses=1

In the 37th PARLIAMENT, 1st SESSIONS, speaking before the 91st meeting
of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights, on the subject
of Corporate criminal liability, Professor Patrick Healy, professor of
law at McGill University had this to say....

"A final point, because I know you wanted to limit us, Mr. Chairman,
to ten minutes, is that there is no definition in this legislation of
what a corporation is. Section 2 of the Criminal Code provides a
partial definition, but by no means is it a complete definition. Does
it include, for example, partnerships? Does it include different kinds
of what are called in French personnes morales that might exist in the
civil law of both the common law provinces and Quebec? It would be
impossible for Parliament, in my view, to pass legislation dealing
with corporate criminal liability in the absence of a comprehensive
definition of corporate bodies that could be found liable."

---

"Well, your question goes directly to the heart of the issue. A
corporation is a fiction, by definition, and any attempt to construct
a model of criminal liability for a fiction will involve further
fictions. The question you ask is, where is the limit of the just
imposition of responsibility on these fictitious entities?"
----------


To further see the FICTITIOUS nature of a "natural person" is through
the doctrine of coverture. The doctrine of coverture is best described
as.. "Vir et uxor consentur in lege una persona. Husband and wife are
considered one person in law. Co. Litt. 112." that is, when a man and
a woman were married, they were regarded as one person in law and
since we are talking about the word person associated to a man
(mankind), we can say that the law regarded them as one natural
person. That's right, two people, one "natural person".

"No, in old law a WIFE was an artificial person subject to the rules
and distinctions of civil law." - Abbot the Retard

More LIES from Abbot the Retard trying to hide the fictitious nature
of a "natural person". The wife was NOT an "artificial person" in
fact, the wife was NOT even considered a PERSON in her own right. She
could only ACT under his person.

----------
Commentaries on the Laws of England (1765-1769)
Sir William Blackstone

By marriage, the husband and wife are one person in law: that is, the
very being or legal existence of the woman is suspended during the
marriage, or at least is incorporated and consolidated into that of
the husband: under whose wing, protection, and cover, she performs
every thing; and is therefore called in our law-french a feme-covert;
is said to be covert-baron, or under the protection and influence of
her husband, her baron, or lord; and her condition during her marriage
is called her coverture. Upon this principle, of an union of person in
husband and wife, depend almost all the legal rights, duties, and
disabilities, that either of them acquire by the marriage.

...

VI. A SIXTH method of acquiring property in goods and and chattels is
by marriage; whereby those chattels, which belonged formerly to the
wife, are by act of law vested in the husband, with the same degree of
property and with the same powers, as the wife, when sole, had over
them.

THIS depends entirely on the notion of an unity of person between the
husband and wife; it being held that they are one person in law,9 so
that the very being and existence of the woman is suspended during the
coverture, or entirely merged and incorporated in that of the husband.
And hence if follows, that whatever personal property belonged to the
wife, before marriage, is by marriage absolutely vested in the
husband.

...

The wife cannot recover damages for beating her husband, for she has
no separate interest in any thing during her coverture.
----------
A DICTIONARY OF LAW (1893)
A Dictionary and Compendium of American and English Jurisprudence

Husband.

...At common law, husband and wife are one person at law, and he is
that person; that is, the legal existence of the woman is suspended or
at least incorporated into that of the husband, under whose protection
she performs everything.

husband and wife

Section: Evolution of Marriage Law

Related: Law

The former Anglo-American law of marriage was chiefly characterized by
the view that husband and wife are one legal personality, for whom the
husband acts.
----------


From above we learn that a man's person denotes a legal existence, a
legal personality, one that can be suspended, one that can be
incorporated and consolidated into that of another resulting in only
ONE legal existence, one legal personality. And of course, it is only
with a legal personality/person that one can act or hold property. The
statement "the wife's legal existence was suspended during the
marriage and merged into that of the husband" does not indicate that a
human being is suspended and merged into another human being. No sir,
as we all know that this is physically impossible. It is the legal
existence, the legal personality, the person of a human being in law
that is suspended and merged into that of the husband's "person".

In 1964, the Ontario Law Reform Commission was charged with the task
of producing a comprehensive report and recommendations on the reform
of family law in Ontario. That Report, in six volumes, was released in
1975. In the foreword to its report on family property law, the
Commission made note of the context in which it had been asked to make
recommendations (Report on Family Law, Part IV, "Family Property
Law" (1974), at pp. 4-5):

The common law doctrine of unity of husband and wife, with the
consequent extinguishment of the wife's legal personality and vesting
of her property and right to her income in her husband, was
necessarily accompanied by the concept of the dependency of the
married woman. The Married Women's Property Acts have terminated most
of the incidents of the unity of legal personality in the marital
relation, but the dependency of the wife is still very much a fact in
twentieth-century Ontario. On a secular basis, marriage can be
characterized as an economic arrangement that assumes this dependency
of the wife upon the husband with a legal framework that is designed
to provide a remedy for the wife if the husband's obligation to
maintain her is not properly discharged. [Footnotes omitted, emphasis
added.]
----------

As clearly articulated above, it is a persona, a legal personality
that is being merged resulting in but one persona, one person, and
since we're talking about a man's person, one NATURAL PERSON.

Taxman sloppy about security: report
OTTAWA — The people who safeguard the tax information of millions of
Canadians have been forgetting to lock the doors.
A new audit slams the Canada Revenue Agency for repeated failures to
maintain even basic security at seven key offices in Quebec and
Ontario, including two in Ottawa.
"Certain exterior and interior perimeter doors were not adequately
secured and deadbolts and other hardware were used inappropriately or
were missing," says the audit report from June.
All but one of the offices were faulted for the shoddy way doors were
locked. Keys, combination locks and key-cards were not properly
tracked, secured or used.
And at three offices, electronic alarm systems designed to thwart
intruders were defective, unarmed or missing altogether.
The blistering report notes this isn't the first time the tax-
collection agency has been cited for shoddy physical security at its
offices.
"Certain vulnerabilities were already noted during inspections . . .
over the last few years and had not yet been corrected," the report
notes.
Security inspectors fanned out between April 2007 and March of this
year, prodding and poking around the doors, gates, turnstiles and
windows of some of the agency's busiest offices. They also interviewed
the people responsible for local security.
Not only did the facilities frequently fail basic security tests, but
the employees in charge of security appeared to be clueless about the
standards they were required to maintain.
"Most security stakeholders interviewed by the internal auditors had
little knowledge of the security standards or equipment examined in
the audit," says the report.
"At some of the sites visited, employees who had left their security
positions were the only ones familiar with certain essential
functions."
Spokesmen for the agency did not respond to requests for comment and
information about the audit, including the addresses of the seven
offices. But the report says security officials have given themselves
until Sept. 30 next year to correct all the problems.
The Canada Revenue Agency last year reported numerous thefts and
losses of equipment at its facilities, including 25 laptops, 17
cellphones, six BlackBerries, five printers and a router.
Included among the stolen items were two video-surveillance cameras,
meant to deter thieves, together worth $8,244.
Another surveillance camera was stolen the year before, along with
$10,000 worth of metal bars and door handles.
The audit did not examine the security of the agency's electronic data
systems, which themselves have come under fire for breaches.
In 2004, for example, an audit found that laptops used outside the
office were not locked up properly and confidential information was
kept on computers that were vulnerable to hacking.
That report followed the 2003 theft of four computers from an agency
office in Laval, Que., containing the personal information of 120,000
Canadians.
The June audit, released this month, was budgeted for $32,000 in
travel costs and 6,000 hours of auditors' time.
The agency employs the equivalent of 38,000 workers and operates from
more than 100 offices across Canada.

Well, name calling or casting aspersions might not be the best route
to go when arguing your case.

their meat is edible, their skins can be used for clothing, belts and
accessories and their venom is used in the medical arena.

Abbot) I’m just telling it like it is, Allan. There is no “case” to
make. As a matter of fact Porisky has misrepresented his tax case and
continues to pretend that he has a winning argument.
Porisky knew full well, or should have known, that he beat the tax rap
on mere prosecutorial error.  Yet he pretended that his “natural
persons don’t have to pay taxes” argument won the day. He even
repeated that claim to me over the telephone!
Now that Eva Sydel and Chandler Turnnir have bit the dust after using
his “method”, Porisky is trying to explain away the failure of a
method he said would work.
If you want to be associated with that sort of dishonesty, Alan,
that’s your choice.- Hide quoted text -

Abbot) Readers,

At Russell Porsiky’s website his story begins:

http://www.naturalperson.com/New%20Website/2%20Home/Home%20Final%2007.htm

On December 13th, 2000, after 8 years of searching for the simple
reality behind the complexity of the Canadian income tax system, my
wife and I stood on the front steps of the Abbotsford Courthouse
wondering what had just happened. I had just been acquitted of all
charges for failing to comply to a demand to file income tax returns
for 4 years.

On the surface at least, this event may not seem to have been anything
truly significant, especially when you consider the fact that a
superficial reading of the trial transcripts makes it look like I was
only acquitted because of some technicality.

However, when you take into consideration the lively pretrial events
that took place in Chilliwack, the two unusual orders that were
eventually granted there, the questionable excuses that were used to
justify moving the trial to Abbottsford, the fact that I never
presented any evidence for a defense, the fact that the judge seemed
to argue with the Crown on my behalf for almost an hour, and the fact
that CCRA never even filed an appeal, which they seem to always do if
they lose, it has to make one wonder what really happened.
________

These are curious comments since Russell should know exactly what
happened!

In the ruling in Porisky's case, reproduced below, we see exactly what
happened:

"I am not satisfied that the Crown has proven their case. The
evidence, the very brief evidence given by the Crown, was that an
officer checked his computer in his office, another officer checked
her computer in her office, in different locations in the lower
mainland, and did not find that there had been income tax returns
filed for the years set out in Counts 1 to 4 by the defendant. He was
served with a notice and according to another check in a computer this
was not filed, but I am not satisfied that -- there was no evidence in
front of me that when the computers were checked this was a cross-
Canada check. I can assume that, everyone can assume that, but it is
not evidence and I cannot judicially assume that. It has to be proven.
It would have been very simple to prove. This is not a precedent-
setting case or anything else. It is strictly one on its facts, on the
Crown failing to get that one bit of evidence out. We all know
citizens have certain duties. If they do not like them they can go
through other routes, through the legislature, to get it carried out.
This is not a case that is going to assist anyone. It is strictly on
the facts and the fact that there were about three words that were
omitted that could have been added. I am acquitting the accused on the
charges." Judgement (Maltby, C.G., P.C.J.)

------------

It doesn’t appear to be “some technicality”. It turns out Russ was
acquitted on prosecutorial error!

For years skeptics of the Russell Porisky's claims have been told by
Porisky supporters that Russell's acquittal, which was claimed to be
precedent setting, supported of Russ' theories and was evidenced in
the court record. The inference given, and supported by Porisk,
himself, was that he had a proven successful and replicable method of
detaxing!

I called Porisky in the early fall of 2005 and asked him to explain
his acquittal. He attributed his acquittal to his "natural person"
argument and made scant mention of the computer mix up, portraying it
as something unrelated the judge said.

In September of 2005, after getting a copy of the ruling I emailed
Russ and recounted to him his inaccurate explanation of the ruling
given to me by him over the phone, days before and asked him to
explain the differences between his story and the facts.

In over 3 years no answer has been given.

It seems, too, that Porsiky is unaware of time lines and precedent
setting cases that refute his "teachings". According to Russ he made
the “natural person” argument that had already been shot down in the
Tommy Kennedy case months earlier, thus indeed setting a precedent.
And yet Porisky supporters claim judge Maltby was stunned by the
brilliance of Porsiky's argument, which was the same as Kennedy's, and
for some reason, rather than follow precedent, found some contrivance
to get Porisky off.

Porisky followers not only don’t understand precedent, they don’t make
sense!

The validity of Russ's method is less than nill since the Crown
successfully prosecuted Eva Sydel Chandler Turnnir who has used the
Porisky "method".

". . . In any event, it was very clear that what Mr. Christie [Sydel's
attorney] was proposing to do was, to lead evidence through Mr.
Persky, and then through the tapes of the lectures that Persky had
given and that Dr. Sydel had seen, to make out a defence of lack of
intent, or at least to raise some reasonable doubt that the necessary
intent was not there for Dr. Sydel to knowingly or wilfully break the
law with respect to non filing or false filing or evasion of income
tax."

See: http://www.provincialcourt.bc.ca/judgments/pc/2005/04/p05_0413.htm

“ The accused gave evidence at trial. His evidence was that at the
time of filing his tax returns he believed that he was receiving
compensation under a contract for hire as a natural person and that,
as such, he was not subject to pay tax on those funds under the Income
Tax Act.”

See: http://www.provincialcourt.bc.ca/judgments/pc/2006/04/p06_0460.htm

Hardly a ringing endorsement of Russell porisky?

If you want to have a laugh you can visit Porisky’s web site and watch
him try to paper over the trashing the courts gave his method:
