The Federal
Income Tax
With the
Illuminati in complete control of our monetary system, they were ready
for the next step. They couldn't touch the money of the people, because
the Constitution did not contain any provision for the taxing of income;
so they now set into motion a plan to accomplish this, in order to
oppress the middle class, and increase the lower class, who would have
to depend on the government for their survival.
From 1862-72, to support the Civil War effort, Congress enacted the
nation's first income tax: 3% on incomes from $600 to $10,000, and 5%
for incomes above that, which was later deemed to be insufficient, and
it was increased twice, till it reached a high of 10% on all incomes
over $5,000. The tax was criticized because it wasn't apportioned among
the states according to population. The Act of 1862 also provided for a
sales tax, excise tax, and inheritance tax; and established the office
of Commissioner of Internal Revenue, who was given the power to assess,
levy, and collect taxes, and was given the authority to enforce tax
laws. In 1868, tobacco and alcoholic beverages were taxed.
The income tax was discontinued in 1872, but after heavy lobbying by the
Populist Party, it was reinstated in 1894, as part of the Wilson-German
Tariff Bill, when Congress enacted a 2% tax on all incomes over $4,000 a
year. On May 20, 1895, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the tax was
unconstitutional, because it was not distributed among the states in
accordance with the Constitution. Newspapers controlled by the
Illuminati denounced the Court's decision.
When the income tax legislation was introduced in the Senate in 1894,
Sen. Aldrich had come out against it, saying it was "communistic and
socialistic," but in 1909, he proposed the 16th Amendment to the
Constitution, with the support of President Taft, which called for the
creation of a progressive graduated income tax. It was ratified in
February, 1913, and levied a 1% tax on all incomes over $3,000, and a
progressive surtax on incomes over $20,000. Although praised by
reformers, conservatives said it was "a first step toward complete
confiscation of private property."
According to a 2-volume investigative report called The Law That Never
Was, by William J. Benson (who had been a special agent with the
Illinois Department of revenue for 10 years) and M. J. Beckman, on
February 25, 1913, shortly before the end of his term, Secretary of
State Philander C. Knox ignored various irregularities, and fraudulently
declared that the 16th Amendment had been ratified by three-fourths (or
36) of the 48 states. Benson traveled to all the states' archives, and
to the National Archives in Washington, DC, obtaining more than 17,000
pages of documents, all properly notarized and certified by state
officials, that proved that the 16th Amendment was never ratified.
A 16-page memo dated February 15, 1913, to Knox, from his solicitor,
stated that only four states had "correctly" ratified the amendment,
that Minnesota had not forwarded their copy yet, and that the
resolutions from 33 states contained punctuation, capitalization, or
wording different than the Resolution that was approved by Congress. The
memo read:
"In the certified copies of the resolutions passed by the legislatures
of the several states ratifying the proposed 16th amendment, it appears
that only four of these resolutions (those submitted by Arizona, North
Dakota, Tennessee and New Mexico) have quoted absolutely accurately and
correctly the 16th amendment as proposed by Congress. The other
thirty-three resolutions all contain errors either of punctuation,
capitalization, or wording. Minnesota, it is to be remembered, did not
transmit to the Department a copy of the resolution passed by the
legislature of the state. The resolutions passed by twenty-two states
contain errors only of capitalization or punctuation, or both, while
those of eleven states contain errors in the wording..."
Benson discovered that some word changes and misplaced commas were done
by legislative intent. State Legislatures voting to ratify a proposed
Constitutional amendment, must use a certified, exact copy, as passed by
the Congress. Since this was not done, legally, the Government can only
collect an income tax within the guidelines set forth by the Supreme
Court in Pollock v. Farmers Loan & Trust Co., 157 U.S. 429 (1895), and
all sections of the Internal Revenue Code, based on the 16th Amendment,
are not valid.
So, of the 48 states:
Eight states (Rhode Island, Utah, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Kentucky,
Florida, Virginia, and Pennsylvania) did not approve or ratify the
amendment.
Texas and Louisiana were forbidden by their own state constitution to
empower the federal government to tax their citizens.
Vermont and Massachusetts rejected the amendment with a recorded vote
count, but later declared it passed without a recorded vote only after
the amendment had been declared ratified by Knox.
Tennessee, Ohio, Mississippi, California, and Washington violated their
own state constitutions during their ratification procedures.
Minnesota had not sent any copy of its resolution to Knox, let alone a
signed and sealed copy, as was required by law.
Oklahoma, Georgia, and Illinois had made unacceptable changes in the
wording, as did some of the above states (in addition to the other
unacceptable procedures).
When you deduct these 21 states, you only had a proper ratification by
only 27 states, far less than the Constitutionally-mandated 36.
Because of his diligence, Benson was arrested and imprisoned on income
tax charges, but later released.
Why the Federal Government Doesn't Have Jurisdiction Over States
According to Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution of the United
States:
"The Congress shall have power ... to exclusive legislation in all cases
whatsoever, over such district (not exceeding ten miles square) as may,
by cession of particular States and the acceptance of Congress, become
the seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like
authority over all places purchased by the consent of the legislature of
the State in which the same shall be, for the erection of forts,
magazines, arsenals, dockyards, and other needful building..."
This passage reveals the true intention of our forefathers, which was
for the Federal Government to coordinate the efforts of all the States
in order to combine their resources when it came to things like trade
and defense, since the States were actually like separate countries.
Therefore, the Congress only had jurisdiction over the area of
Washington, D.C., and non-state territories like Alaska, and Hawaii
(before they became states); and the present countries of Puerto Rico,
Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and others; and Federal property
such as military bases. This area will be hereinafter referred to as the
District (as in the District of Columbia), as it is in the United States
Code (see 26 USC 7701(a) (1), and 26 USC 3121(e) (1) ).
Since America is a Republic, and not a democracy, the Government has a
responsibility to protect the inalienable rights of its citizens, as
granted by the Constitution, rather than to grant privileges, known as
civil rights, which are decided by the will of the majority. When the
sovereign state citizen gave power to the State Constitution, which
created State Government; this in turn gave power to the U.S.
Constitution, which created the Federal Government; which has, in a
sense, incorporated and gave power to the United States Government;
which has turned the U.S. citizen into a subject of the U.S. Government.
Therefore, the Federal Government has been able to wield its influence
over the entire country, rather than just the area referred to as the
District.
This is possible, because, for all intents and purposes, there are two
of every state. For example, the official name of Pennsylvania is the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania; but to the U.S. Government, it is known as
the State of Pennsylvania. There are even two state flags. One with a
gold fringe, which represents the State of Pennsylvania, and martial law
under the U.S. Government; and one without the fringe, which represents
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The gold-fringed flag was reserved for
use by the General of the Army, where it was present at military
headquarters and displayed at court martials. Its use elsewhere, as a
government battle flag, was only to be done at the discretion of the
President, within his role as the Commander-in-Chief of the military, to
establish the jurisdiction of the military presence. This gold-fringed
flag, which is common in many public places, such as courthouses, and
schools, is not the national flag which represents our constitutional
republic. It is a symbol of federal government jurisdiction.
When Franklin D. Roosevelt was inaugurated on March 4, 1933, he called
for an emergency session of Congress on March 9th, where the Emergency
Banking Relief Act (also known as the War Powers Act, which seized all
the country's constitutional gold and silver coinage) was passed, which
gave FDR the power to issue any order, and do anything he felt was
necessary to run the country, without restriction, by authority of the
Trading with the Enemy Act of October 6, 1917 (which placed all German
citizens under the authority of the President, because they were enemies
of the U.S.).
In 1917, Chapter 106, Section 2, subdivision (c), of the Trading with
the Enemy Act, defined the Enemy as someone "other than citizens of the
United States." and in 1933, according to Chapter 106, Section 5,
subdivision (b), the Act designated as the Enemy "any person within the
United States."
America was under the authority of an emergency war government.
According to the book Constitution: Fact or Fiction by Dr. Eugene
Schroder (with Micki Nellis), our Constitution was actually nullified on
March 9, 1933, when President Franklin Roosevelt declared a national
emergency. As recorded in Congressional Record in 1933, Rep. James Buck
said:
"...the doctrine of emergency is the worst. It means that when Congress
declares an emergency, there is no Constitution. This means it's dead."
Senate Report 93-549 (Senate Resolution 9, 93rd Congress, 1st Session)
in 1973 said that since 1933 "the United States has been in a state of
declared national emergency . A majority of the people of the United
States have lived all their lives under emergency rule. For 40 years
freedoms and governmental procedures guaranteed by the Constitution
have, in varying degrees, been abridged by laws brought into force by
states of national emergency..."
The Act was never repealed after the World War II, because Roosevelt
died; and Truman used the extraordinary powers he gained through the
rewriting of the War Powers Act to establish the National Security
infrastructure, which included the C.I.A.
The "national emergency" technically ended on September 14, 1976, when
the 93rd Congress passed H.R. 3884, the National Emergencies Termination
Act (50 USC 1601, Public Law 94-412) in response to President Richard
Nixon's abuse of the Trading with the Enemy Act (which was part of
Roosevelt's emergency legislation). Though he had promised an end to the
U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War, he actually escalated the war by
authorizing the secret bombing of Cambodia. And then later, in December,
1972, Nixon ordered American B-52's to drop over 36,000 tons of bombs
over Haiphong and Hanoi. Congress then appointed the Special Committee
on the Termination of the National Emergency, headed by Sen. Frank
Church (D-ID), who began holding hearings in July, 1973. Even though it
appeared that the emergency legislation was repealed, the last paragraph
said that it didn't apply to any "authorities under the act of October
6, 1917, as amended."
Chuck Morse wrote in his article "Is the 'National Emergency of FDR'
Still In Place?" that:
"This was a classic example of sleight of hand. In fact, Congress
exempted all laws, based on the emergency of 1933 that were already in
place. Rather than being based on the authority of the President under a
'national emergency' these federal laws would now be codified as a
permanent part of the U.S. Federal Code. Included among the codified
laws would be Section 5(b) of the Trading with the Enemy Act, which
classifies the American citizen as an enemy of the government."
The declaration of a National Emergency can legally empower the
President to suspend the Constitution. According to Senate Report
93-549, the "President may: Seize property, organize commodities, assign
military forces abroad, institute Martial Law, seize and control
transportation and communication, regulate operation of private
enterprise, restrict travel, and in a plethora of particular ways,
control the lives of all American citizens."
President Carter declared a new national emergency in 1979 during the
Iranian hostage crisis, and Bill Clinton, during his two terms in
office, declared 12 National Emergencies.
A 1976 Senate report noted that there were 470 extraordinary grants of
power to the President, during times of National Emergency.
However, because of Executive Orders 6073, 6102 (gold confiscation),
6111, 6260 and 6262 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, it is believed
that the District went bankrupt in 1933, and since then, has undergone
various "reorganizations." The Secretary of Treasury was appointed
"receiver" in the bankruptcy (Reorganization Plan, No. 26, 5 U.S.C.A.
903; Public Law 94-564; Legislative History, pg. 5967). Representative
James A. Traficant, Jr. of Ohio, according to the Congressional Record
(pg. H1303), on March 17, 1993, said: "Mr. Speaker, we are now in
Chapter 11. Members of Congress are official Trustees presiding over the
greatest reorganization of any bankrupt entity in world history, the
United States government."
It was in 1933 that FDR enacted the Social Security Act, which
effectively redefined the word "employee" to indicate "government
worker." Then came the Public Salary Tax Act in 1939, which gave the
U.S. Government the power to levy a tax on those people who were either
government employees, or who lived and worked in a "Federal Area." A
year later, the Buck Act was passed, which gave the U.S. Government the
power to create a "Federal Area" so they could levy the Public Salary
Tax. Since it was unconstitutional to tax anyone outside of the
jurisdiction of the District, this Act, in Section 110(d) and (e), made
the land within the territorial boundaries of a State, a "Federal Area."
This, in effect, created a paper state, known as a Federal Area, for the
purposes of the U.S. Government; and those people who were sovereign
state citizens, now found themselves also living in this Federal Area.
Now the U.S. Government had to make that citizen one of their subjects
by bringing them under the jurisdiction of the District.
This was accomplished by deceiving the citizen into entering an adhesion
contract with the U.S. Government, such as a Social Security
application, an Income Tax form, a Driver's License application, a Bank
Account application, and other similar things. Contrary to what most
people believe, it is not mandatory to apply for a Social Security
number; however, in order for a sovereign state citizen to be eligible
for Social Security benefits, they have to waive the rights given to
them under our Republic.
Probably, the most incredible example of the adhesion contract is the
Income Tax system. In 1884, it was accepted that the "property which
every man has is his own labor (and) as it is the original foundation of
all other property, so it is the most sacred and inviolable." Therefore,
since 'wages' are received as compensation for labor, it can not be
legally taxed. 'Income,' however, is the process of profiting from a
business (someone else's labor) or investments, and is taxable, as in a
Corporation, which is an artificial entity which is given the right to
exist by the State. The Constitution only allows the Congress to collect
taxes, and that is limited to a uniform excise tax on gasoline, alcohol,
tobacco, telephone bills, firearms, and tires, things revolving in one
way or another around interstate commerce. The payment of these taxes
are voluntary, because they are based on consumption. These funds go
directly to the U.S. Treasury to pay the expenses of the country.
Because we live in a Republic, the Internal Revenue Service Code, Title
26 USC, could not be passed into law by the Congress, and instead, was
passed only as a Resolution, which is a formal expression of intent that
was to pertain only to citizens of the District. So, how do they make
you a citizen of the District? In the upper left-hand corner of the 1040
Federal Income Tax form is a place to put your preprinted address label,
which is designated with the words "label here." However, to the left of
that is the word "label," which seemingly identifies the entire section
as a whole. However, the word "label" actually has another legal meaning
that has nothing to do with your name and address. According to Black's
Law Dictionary, "label" is defined as: "A slip of ribbon, parchment, or
paper, attached as a codicil to a deed or other writing to hold the
appended seal." Since your "seal" is your signature, the "label" is
actually a codicil which indicates you are waiving your constitutional
right as a sovereign state citizen to become a citizen of the District
and its Federal Area.
Although the Internal Revenue Service is considered to be a Bureau of
the Department of Treasury, like the Federal Reserve, they are not part
of the Federal Government (Diversified Metal Products v. IRS et al.
CV-93-405E-EJE U.S.D.C.D.I.; Public Law 94-564; Senate Report 94-1148,
pg. 5967; Reorganization Plan No. 26; Public Law 102-391), and in fact
were incorporated in Delaware in 1933. It is pointed out that all
official Federal Government mail is sent postage-free because of the
franking privilege, however, the IRS has to pay their own postage, which
indicates that they are not a government entity. They are in fact a
collection agency for the Federal Reserve, because they do not collect
any taxes for the U.S. Treasury. All funds collected are turned over to
the Federal Reserve. If you have ever sent a check to the IRS, you will
find that it was endorsed over to the Federal Reserve. The Federal
Reserve, in turn, deposits the money with the International Monetary
Fund, an agency of the United Nations (Black's Law Dictionary, 6th
edition, pg. 816), where it is filtered down to the International
Development Association (see Treasury Delegation Order No. 91), which is
part of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development,
commonly known as the World Bank. Therefore, it is now clear, that the
American people are unknowingly contributing to the coming World
Government.
The Secretary of the Treasury is the "Governor" of the International
Monetary Fund (Public Law 94-564, supra, pg. 5942; U.S. Government
Manual 1990/91, pgs. 480-81; 26 U.S.C.A. 7701(a)(11); Treasury
Delegation Order No. 150-10); the United States has not had a Treasury
since 1921 (41 Stat. Ch. 214, pg. 654); and for all intents and purposes
the U.S. Treasury is the IMF (Presidential Documents, Volume 29, No. 4,
pg. 113; 22 U.S.C. 285-288).
Chief Justice John Marshall said: "The power to tax involves the power
to destroy." Alan Keyes, the former ambassador to the UN, who ran for
President in 2000 said:
"We ought to have realized that the income tax is utterly incompatible
with liberty. It is actually a form of slavery. A slave is someone the
fruit of whose labor is controlled by somebody else. A slave is not
somebody with nothing. Rather, he has only what the master lets him have
. Under the income tax, the government takes whatever percentage of the
earner's income it wants. The income tax, therefore, represents our
national surrender to the government of control over all the money we
earn. There are, in principle, no restrictions to the pre-emptive claim
the government has."
The income tax was intended to rob the earnings of the low and middle
class; or as the saying goes, "the more you make, the more they take."
However, the tax didn't touch the huge fortunes of Illuminati members.
The tax was an indication that the U.S. was heading for a planned war,
because they couldn't go into a war without money. Since the tax
provided less than 5% of total Federal revenues, increases were later
made to accommodate World War I, FDR's New Deal, and World War II. In
July, 1943, workers in this country were subject to a payroll
withholding tax in the form of a "victory tax" that was touted as a
temporary tax to boost the economy because of the War, and would later
be discontinued. However, the deduction remained because it forced
compliance.
