Cedar Hills’ own Barbie & Ken Cromar vs Goliath IRS, et al
Fake News is not a new phenomenon. A century ago, it was called “yellow journalism” and was wielded by the big mainstream media purveyors of its day—newspapers. Most cite the efforts of the media moguls William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer to commit American forces to what became the Spanish-American War. (Pulitzer, for his part, sought to make amends by establishing the ongoing awards for good journalism that still bear his name.) Pulitzer and Hearst just wanted to sell papers and they both knew outrage equaled sales. So they ran unsubstantiated reports of barbarism, cruelty, torture and other acts of inhumanity, and attributed them to the Spanish, fanning the flames of controversy that led the Spaniards to abandon the hemisphere.

We didn’t even see the August 20th KSL story (provided below) about Barbie & Ken until yesterday. Following its review, we wondered just how does anyone combat the LIES promoted by the courts with a complicit press motivated to obtain their fifteen minutes of fame?
We’ve seen worse “journalism” from KSL. Remember the LIES inferring Barbie & Ken were “dangerous,” “bomb-making,” “terrorist,” supported by anonymous law enforcement officers? “Bomb-making,” really? (See the Oct 15, 2020 KSL article at: https://www.ksl.com/article/50031706/cedar-hills-house-in-standoff-was-heavily-fortified-inside-police-say ) There has been an enormous amount of misdirection from the facts in Barbie & Ken’s story from the very beginning! Claims such as those of Barbie & Ken stating they were “bomb-making using Hydrogen peroxide and matches.” Items that are found in any half-way decent emergency food storage supply for medical purposes.
It is time to start calling it what it is, so we’ll be using the “L” word a lot from here on out.
Lies, Damn Lies, and Mainstream Media
Utah couple convicted in armed standoff calls arrest warrant ‘an act of war’
(LIE! – Barbie & Ken were NOT convicted of an “armed standoff”.)
By Emily Ashcraft, KSL.com | Posted – Aug. 20, 2022 at 4:16 p.m. https://www.ksl.com/article/50460894/utah-couple-convicted-in-armed-standoff-calls-arrest-warrant-an-act-of-war
PROVO — A judge issued arrest warrants for a Cedar Hills husband and wife after they appeared remotely for a scheduled sentencing hearing instead of coming to the courthouse in person as the judge had ordered.
Paul Cromar motioned during the video hearing that he wanted to speak, and said he and his wife perceive the arrest warrant “as an act of war.”
( LIE! – The transcript will show that first Barbie & Ken said the arrest warrant was “extortion” because they were already coming to the sentencing until judge Johnson issued the warrants 2 days BEFORE the hearing, Barbie & Ken didn’t want to be arrested for coming to the sentencing hearing, and then and only then did they declare that the issuing of arrest warrants was an “act of war” – it clearly is.)
He [Ken Cromar] said they have not missed any hearings and have sometimes waited hours for hearings to begin.
Cromar said they do not consent to “any voluntary or involuntary servitude” and asked if the judge was trying to “sell us into slavery.” He said he believes the court is trying to “man steal” them, citing Exodus 21:16 which says anyone who steals a man should be put to death.
This led 4th District Judge Christine Johnson to ask if he was making threats, and Cromar denied that it was a threat.
(DECEITFUL LIE! – The judge did NOT deny that AP&P were not statutorily authorized or a lawful government agency as the Cromars pointed out, a point which should have been included in a fair, genuine news story. Judge Johnson did not deny her profiting by “man stealing” when she puts people into their “system”. If Judge Johnson is profiting by her man-stealing, that’s her problem. Don’t blame it on Barbie & Ken.)
Paul and Barbara Cromar were convicted…
(LIE! – A jury – which the Cromars say was tampered with – found them “guilty”, but did so without the jury being allowed to hear Barbie & Ken’s defense that included being vindicated by IRS Commissioner Rettig. The conviction is not official until sentencing – and the Cromars declared they never consented or understood the proceedings, and were denied THREE Habeas Corpus filings before the trial and two filings during the trial.)
…by a jury of burglary, a second-degree felony, and wrongful appropriation, a third-degree felony. The charges stemmed from a 2020 armed standoff…
(LIE! – There was NO “armed standoff”! An “armed standoff” is when two sides were pointing guns at the other, with no shots fired – resulting in a tie. The only side pointing guns was the “75-man SWAT team” pointing guns at Barbie & Ken’s home, including snipers! That’s not a stand-off. Just because the “law enforcement team was incompetent, believed unsubstantiated lies, rumors and innuendos including “bomb making”, were mismanaged and afraid of their own shadow, and as reported by PR Deputy Spencer Cannon to the press, brought a “75-man interagency SWAT team” including snipers, 2 helicopters, 2 MRAPs all to arrest one un-armed 58 year old grandmother, whose only weapon was yelling out the window, “Do you have a warrant?!” To which their own video footage show offered no reply nor produce a warrant. Warrants were fabricated after the raid, with one being denied and not being available until 8 months later!)
…with police after investigators say they had been living illegally in a Cedar Hills home for eight months and owed more than $1 million in taxes. Police say Paul Cromar had made statements that he was never going to leave the home again.
Charging documents say the Cromars did not file tax returns between 1999 and 2005.
(LIE! – Let’s just continue to over look the fact that evidence from the Commissioner of the IRS, Charles Rettig, shows that the case against Barbie & Ken was dismissed because “no notices of deficiency or notices of determination had been issued” to the Cromars for the years 1990 to 2020. Thus in a rare admission, the IRS agreed that the Barbie and Ken never owed any taxes! – Sadly, the IRS matter was never adjudicated, never had witnesses, no defense witness subpoenas, no cross-examination – only unproven claims without even the benefit of a Hearing. – Deception.)
The federal government took possession of their home. They were evicted in 2019 and the house was sold, but they later broke in and began living there again, police say.
An initial warrant in the case said supporters of the couple involved in the standoff …
(STRANGE LIE! Now that the “armed standoff” falsehood is established in title and first half of article, it’s now just a “standoff” – which is still also a false impression. All anybody had to do is come to the door, knock and present a lawful warrant. Nobody was ever going to be shot, not from Barbie & Ken’s side.)
…had also been involved with a standoff with the Bureau of Land Management at the Bundy Ranch in Nevada…
(YES! Now the Bureau of Land Management at the Bundy Ranch in Nevada was a standoff,which had many armed people on both side facing off against each other, but the People outnumbered the government thugs and the Government backed down and walked away. No shots were fired and NO ONE was shot.)
…and a standoff at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon.
(LIE! Again, to our knowledge no guns were ever raised at any government officials by the protestors. However Ryan Bundy and Shawna Cox, both who testified for the Cromars via Webex because they believed they would be falsely arrested by warrants, who had been at the Cromars’ home to stand with them, were ambushed and watched as their friend LaVoy Finnecum was murdered in cold blood. See Shawna Cox’s in car video with 4+ million views!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEswP_HSFV4 , or the better two-camera angle 1+ million view video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWLHiU8gYWY – We wonder, could this be what the NEW 87,000 man IRS is supposed to act like?)
The warrant also said neighbors reporting seeing adult males practicing movements …
(LIE! – Another report characterized the Cromars’ friends as patrolling the neighborhood. Never happened. Another report said called actions in the Cromars’ backyard “military maneuvers”. Never happened. However some of the guys would shoot a BB handgun into a box on the lawn)
… in military camouflage in their backyard and sandbags being carried into their home and people who appeared to be guarding the home.
On Sept. 24, 2020, officers from multiple agencies entered the house and found weapons, sandbags and wooden boards placed in potentially tactical positions to keep people from getting in and bomb-making materials.
In Friday’s hearing, Johnson against sentencing the couple yet, partially because Paul and Barbara Cromar had not met with Utah Adult Probation and Parole as the court had previously ordered.
(LIE! – Barbie & Ken had been in communication with AP&P and learned from Mark Colby that it is not statutorily authorized to require them to fill out their “packets”, and this explanation caused the first Bench Warrant to be immediately lifted when Barbie & Ken publicized that Judge Johnson was possibly reacting to having been personally named a Defendant twice in one week.)
That agency prepares pre-sentence reports and provides sentencing recommendations. Johnson said she suspects such a report would recommend probation instead of prison.
Right! So then what’s the big deal? Create your sentence of probation or whatever Judge Johnson, but don’t blame this on Barbie & Ken.
Paul Cromar explained that he and his wife decided it would be unwise to speak with Adult Probation and Parole agents, claiming that the agency is “not a part of proper lawful government.”
(Mark Colby – the head of AP&P acknowledged himself that there is no statutory requirement attached to the “packets”. Colby knew that Barbie & Ken had provided considerable information regarding their background as requested in the packet. hmmm! Maybe Barbie & Ken should provide a copy of the packet to readers and highlight that the documents appears to be an undeclared legal agreement with contractual implications?)
In the hearing, Cromar argued that the court would not let his lawyer, someone not licensed to practice law in Utah, represent him and maintained the person assigned to represent them had never spoken with them. He also claimed that he did not receive a fair trial in June.
(Not “he”. It was “WE” as in Barbie & Ken “did not receive a fair trial in June“. Actually, Barbie & Ken declared that Ms Estrada (court appointed counsel) was correct that the trial would be a “disaster” ??, and that the trial was in mistrial before it ever got started. Barbie & Ken continually insisted that the trial could not lawfully move forward in the face of the Habeas Corpus prior to trial, but Judge Johnson said her superiors – including Kraig J. Powell in conflict of interest — insisted they continue anyway.)
Cromar told the judge he is not interested in probation and asked Johnson to sentence them Friday so they could move forward with pursuing other legal remedies.
Deputy Utah county attorney Jared Perkins said he believes Paul and Barbara Cromar “have a problematic misunderstanding of the law”…
(NO! Actually Perkins has a foundational problem with understanding that there are two kinds of jurisdictional law; Constitutional law for real, living people like Barbie & Ken, and Commercial / Corporate / Admiralty law for Corporation vs. Corporations. Why all the lies Mr. Perkins? You know Barbie & Ken are not corporations, as they have clearly established that fact on the record and Mr. Perkins, you are willfully, knowingly and criminally proceeding thru a process to convict innocent people of crimes you know they did not commit. How do we know that Mr. Perkins knows? Because he systematically withheld evidence, over-acted without lawful warrants, and endangered the Cromars and their peaceful neighborhood, all while denying Barbie & Ken presumption of innocence until proven guilty. If Mr. Perkins is so sure Barbie & Ken are criminals why all the hiding of evidence, warrants, names, pictures, and Brady evidence that was requested? Why push “frivolous” and “vexatious” with the judge to convince her to block filings, and strike 13 months worth of Barbie & Ken’s defense? Why put yourself down as Barbie & Ken’s “Represented by:” counsel for four months or so? If you’re so interested in Justice, Mr. Perkins, as per your oath why all the manipulation? Jury tampering? And going on with the charade that Ms. Estrada actually served as Barbie & Ken’s lawful counsel when all the evidence, paperwork and declarations by Barbie & Ken say otherwise? You Mr. Perkins, have orchestrated, with a willful, useful idiot of a aspiring compromised judge, to commit treason in the court to win a fake “conviction” with an UN-informed jury.)
… and have made it clear they will not cooperate. He said he supported the judge issuing the arrest warrant.
(It’s obvious Mr. Perkins probably wrote the press release, now disguised as this “news story”. Therefore, it is inexcusable to give the impression that the “arrest warrant” came after the sentencing hearing non-attendance, when Barbie & Ken explained that they didn’t want to be traumatized by another unlawful arrest. Notice how Judge Johnson’s obvious LIE was left out when she said, “We would’ve lifted the arrest warrant if they came to sentencing.” Then why put on a Bench Warrant two days before sentencing?)
Johnson said she would prefer not to send the couple to prison and give them an opportunity for probation. She said she will move forward with a sentencing analysis after the Cromars are taken into custody and may consider prison later if the two continue to seek prison instead of probation.
(What? And force Barbie & Ken to sign an AP&P contractual agreement before you’ll even schedule sentencing? Making them rot in jail to extort them into a “confession” and contract? How long would you wait? A week? 30 days? 90 days? a year? Why all the deceit Judge Christine “Cruella” Johnson?)
“It’s unfortunate that they’ve refused to cooperate because this court has no grudge against them and had no intention to order some maximum sentence,” Johnson said.
(What?! “…Had no intention” of a “some maximum” sentence which could mean 15 years, but I guess now you do, right Cruella? Barbie & Ken asked for it, right?)
(What?! “…No grudge” against Barbie & Ken? Really? Why all the denial of due process then? Why not recuse for your financial conflict of interest? Why denial of counsel? Why denial of subpoenas? Why the striking of legitimate (non-BAR) defense filings as allowed by the Supreme Court which says that non-professional pro se defense efforts are to be deemed “seeking justice.” Not in a Christine “Cruella” Johnson’s court. Nope!)
Violations of their Oaths of Office
is an act of Treason
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.”
We the People and filers of the Friend of the Court Brief in defense of the Cromars declare, IT’S TIME TO END THE CHARADE! and recognized that kangaroo court actions have made VOID all of the claims against Barbie & Ken (a living and breathing man and woman who stand only under God and the Supreme Law of the Land) and that this for-profit CORP court (EIN #87-6000545 & DUNS #009094301) has no lawful jurisdiction over them.
The Community Support Foundation continues to publicly acknowledge the TRAVESTY OF INJUSTICE, so grossly displayed in the case against Barbie & Ken Cromar and reminds everyone that:
“Together, we stand to urge the Court to rule in favor of the Defendants, by moving to acquit them of any and all claims, dismiss this case with prejudice, and facilitate a process that will restore them back to their home immediately, and reconfirm the belief that communities are bound together by a common unity in principles, such as the “Principles of Good Business©,” and that “good conduct” is a mandatory requirement by the courts and community at large.” – Where there is smoke, there is fire!
NOW YOU KNOW THE REST OF THE STORY. May GOD bless Barbie & Ken, at this late hour and keep them safe in their cause of Liberty and Justice for All.
