REC #2 HATONN
TUESDAY, JUNE 26, 1990 5:22 P.M. YEAR 3 DAY 314
HOW NEAR THE END?
NEAR! In 1989 the usury on your debt will be a little more than it cost to run your entire government plus usury in 1980. This year you fall farther behind and the fact is, that some 30 - 60 million people got smart this year and realized the taxes are illegal and refrained from participating in the tax program. In a decade with the geometric incline now established, the usury on the debt will require every cent earned and all production, including living, food, etc.--everything. Yes, indeed, it is most serious. This will allow nothing for the running of government and this is on projections leaving everything status quo with no more borrowing, full taxation and so on. You are right on the brink of catastrophe.
It is important at this point to question as to WHO owes the national debt.
There are two United States. Now, the Republic is based upon the common-law. The common-law is based upon substance. The substances mentioned in the Constitution are gold or silver. Congress was given authority to coin gold or silver as a medium of exchange for the Republic. That is where Congress was limited. So, for the Republic, if Congress needed to borrow money, the only thing they could borrow was gold or silver.
But you see, the international banking houses don't loan gold or silver--they loan "credit"--and that is why they were so unhappy with your Republic when it was first founded. They financed the war of 1812 to bring you back under the King because the King borrowed "credit" and they really like that business. They can create credit out of thin air. That is really good business if you can get it because if you loan credit it doesn't cost you anything and you get lots and lots back. Therefore the Rothschilds (heard of them before?) were very unhappy with your nation.
In about 1863 they discovered a flaw in your Constitution--you have two nations, both called the United States but Congress could borrow money for the Legislative Democracy and that money could be bank credit. They could agree to repay it in gold and it could be loaned and usury required. Therefore, Congress with the authority given it in Article I, Sec. 8, Cl. 17, borrowed money. Pretty soon they had more debt than they had the ability to repay and became bankrupt.
How could they then make the rest of the Nation assume the debt obligation of the Legislative Democracy? Well, by confusing the two terms of United States; using them interchangeably and changing them all around. Example is the United States sends you a letter demanding to know why you did or didn't do this or that with your IRS "stuff" and this is the United States v. YOU. Well, the average person doesn't know how to answer this. BUT IT IS VERY SIMPLE.
Consider this scenario: If the French government came after you and said "Where did you file your French Income Tax forms in 1980, 81 and 82"? What would you say? Oh, you would say, "I'm not a Frenchman and I am not under the laws of France, therefore, I am not under your jurisdiction so go chase yourself". Remember the two nations; both called the United States.
One of those nations came after you and charged you with failure to file an income tax and obey 26 U.S.C. BUT, did you ever stop to think that that may not he the nation in which you live? If you live outside of the territories that are described in Article I, Sec. 8, cl. 17 and you are living in a state with a State Constitution; YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO FILE FOR YOU ARE NOT A CITIZEN OF THAT NATION CALLED THE UNITED STATES. SO, YOU CAN DECLARE YOURSELF A NON-RESIDENT ALIEN OF THE UNITED STATES AND ITS JURISDICTION WHICH HAS ITS ORIGIN IN ARTICLE I, SECTION 8, CLAUSE 17.
CITIZEN OF THE REPUBLIC
YOU WILL THEREFORE, BE A CITIZEN OF THE REPUBLIC ALSO KNOWN AS THE UNITED STATES. YOU ARE PROTECTED BY YOUR NATIONAL CONSTITUTION AND YOUR STATE CONSTITUTION AGAINST ANY DIRECT RULE OVER YOUR PERSON BY CONGRESS AND THAT IS ALL THERE IS TO IT.
If they insist, then you must set up a Controversy at Law, which has been shown to you. Because, what did "they" do? They made an assumption that their conclusion of law is that the 16th Amendment repealed the first ten amendments of your Constitution wherein you have all your "rights". If that is the case, friends, then you HAVE NO RIGHTS. And that is where they plan to take you in the Constitutional Convention, already set up to trap you before many of you find out that it isn't always like they tell you.
You see, under the "assumption" as above, Congress had the right to do all that "passing" and "establishing" and taking away of your rights.
BUT, YOU SEE--YOU MUST CAUSE THEM TO MAKE THAT CONCLUSION OF LAW for it is easy to prove that the 16th Amendment DID NOT REPEAL THE FIRST TEN AMENDMENTS. How do you know? Because of the 21st Amendment. The 21st Amendment REPEALED quite properly, the 18th Amendment. What does the 21st Amendment say? The first thing, "The 18th Amendment is hereby repealed". But when the 16th Amendment was passed IT DID NOT SAY THAT THE FIRST TEN AMENDMENTS ARE HEREBY REPEALED. AND, IF THEY WERE NOT REPEALED THERE IS NO WAY ONE PART OF THE CONSTITUTION CAN BE IN CONFLICT WITH ANOTHER PART. THEREFORE, THE WRITING IN THE CODE COULD NOT BE WRITTEN FOR THE REPUBLIC BECAUSE THE REPUBLIC GUARANTEES THESE RIGHTS. THEREFORE, THE IRS CODE HAD TO BE WRITTEN UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF CONGRESS IN THE LEGISLATIVE DEMOCRACY CALLED THE UNITED STATES.
That is exactly what was done--the entire Code was written for "that" United States and YOU ARE A NON-RESIDENT ALIEN OF THAT UNITED STATES IF YOU LIVE IN ONE OF THE 50 STATES.
CERTIFICATE OF FOREIGN STATUS
We will speak now of form W-8, Certificate of Foreign Status with which you MUST become proficient. There is a form printed for your better understanding. Note that at the top Mr. Freeman has written: "Two Nations called: The United States. Each Nation has a distinct and separate jurisdiction". And at the bottom of the face page you will find, "Whenever the term: 'United States' is used in the I.R.S. Code, substitute the words 'District of Columbia' and you will understand the language of the Code and you will know that you are a NON-RESIDENT ALIEN of that Nation and Jurisdiction".
And what does the form say? "Nonresident aliens (individuals who are neither citizens nor residents of the United States) and foreign partnerships, corporations, estates and trusts are not generally required to have a U.S. taxpayer identification number, nor are they subject to any backup withholding because they do not furnish such a number to a payer or broker....... payments to these account holders are generally not subject to U.S. reporting requirements".
Know that everything is written in convoluted language to prevent your understanding. But there are other papers wherein they even define words. Citizen: Sec. 3121(e) includes the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Guam and American Samoa. You see they ask for State, etc., and then say it includes the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Guam and American Samoa. "The term United States when used in a Geographical sense includes the commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Guam and American Samoa. An individual who is a citizen of the commonwealth of Puerto Rico that is not otherwise a citizen of District of Columbia, shall be considered for purposes of this section, as a citizen of the District of Columbia".
The facts are, they have it all right in their own language and their own statements but it is so confusing and convoluted that few, if any, will ever notice the subterfuge. It is right on your own tax forms sent from your Government in printed black and white. Take my word for it, please, that they know exactly what they are doing and the intent is to render you without any idea that there is "another choice".
TAX RETURN IS OVERDUE
Without much detail let us offer another example and allow you to see how this can be adapted to your needs very simply.
In the example to follow you can suppose that when no form was received, a nasty note came ordering filing at which point the non-citizen would have responded stating that, "I am not an alien, foreign corporation, officer, director, stockholder or employee of a foreign corporation, or a citizen of the United States living and working abroad or in a possession of the United States. I do not reside in Washington, D.C., or in a federal enclave within any of the States. I am, therefore, not "subject to the jurisdiction of the United States".
Next, say that you receive a letter from the IRS as follow-on which reads:
"Your tax return is overdue--contact us immediately.
We have not received your answer to any of our requests for form 1040, US Individual income tax return for the tax period ending XXXXX. Your failure to respond indicates to us that you do not intend to file the return. We must resolve this matter. We may take the following action:
1. Criminal prosecution that includes a fine, imprisonment, or both, for persons who willfully fail to file a tax return or to provide tax information (Internal Revenue Code Section 7203) or
2. Summon you to come in with your books and records (as provided by Sections 7602 and 7603 of the Code).
To avoid these actions, file the return, show that the return has been filed, or contact us immediately and explain why you are not required to file. Be sure to refer to this notice. If you go to the local IRS office, take this notice and any other information needed. If you filed the return, take your copy of it; if you paid the tax, take your receipt or cancelled check".
WHAT WOULD BE THE ANSWER TO THE ABOVE DEMAND?
At this point you respond to: Director of the Foreign Operations District, Internal Revenue Service, Washington, D. C. 20225 with a copy to your local Internal Revenue Service which sent the notice.
"Dear Sir:
With reference to section 1.1441-5 (26 C.F.R.) which states in part,
"For purposes of chapter 3 of the Code, an individual's written statement that he or she is a citizen or resident of the United States may be relied upon by the payer of the income as proof that such individual is a citizen or resident of the United States. This statement shall be furnished to the withholding agent in duplicate ..."
Paragraph (c) of that section tells the payer to send duplicate, "with a
letter of transmittal to the Director of the Foreign Operations. District..."
I shall continue to state that I am not an alien, foreign corporation, officer, director, stockholder or employee of a foreign corporation, or a citizen of the United States living and working abroad or in a possession of the Unites States. I do not reside in Washington D.C., or in a federal enclave within any of the States. I am, therefore, not "subject to the jurisdiction of the United States".
Sincerely
Xxxxxxxxx
WHAT REPLY CAN BE EXPECTED?Well, here is an example of the response to the above letter based on Article I, Section 8, Clause 17 as above. (Dated Feb. 1988) On April 6, 1989 the following was received:
"Based on the information you have provided, the account specified above is resolved. We may contact you in the future, if further issues arise requiring clarification. At present, no further response is needed on the above action".
Sincerely yours,
Sandy Pacello
Chief, TDI Section
* * * * *See how simple it is if you know the truth? But if you don't know the truth and you don't know HOW to object timely and specifically, you are going to be lost. So, what you need to do is a bit more study and you'll find it isn't half as hard as you believe.
Here is an example of the simplicity of it all, in Mr. Freeman's words:
If a man comes to me and has a little circle drawn on a paper and asks how to find the distance around this circle, I tell him, "You measure the diameter and multiply it by 3.1416 and you'll have the distance around the circumference". Another feloow comes up and he says,
"Well, I've got a different size circle--mine is bigger, etc., so how do I get the measurement"? I say, "Measure the distance of the diameter, multiply by 3.1416 and that will give you the measurement". Then another man comes up and his is even bigger --"Measure the diameter and multiply it by 3.1416 and you'll have the distance".
The principle of this document? Always the same: SET UP A CONTROVERSY AT LAW. LEARN HOW TO CORRECTLY SET IT UP AND YOU HAVE JUST BEEN SHOWN HOW. NO ADMINISTRATIVE AGENCY CAN MAKE A LEGAL DETERMINATION THAT ONLY AN ARTICLE III COURT IS QUALIFIED TO HANDLE. THEY DARE NOT MOVE FORWARD OR THEY VIOLATE THE "SEPARATION OF POWERS" DOCTRINE.
It is simple if you learn HOW to do it and never forget that there are TWO UNITED STATES. YOU are a citizen of the United States and you better learn the difference.
At this point you are functioning as a United States' Citizen--or, a slave, owned by the United States.
BUT: YOU ARE A CITIZEN of the united states!
* * * * *
Dharma, allow us to close this for today. We will make further comments regarding information acquisition, etc., at another writing. There is information available but Mr. Freeman requests that we not give his address information for he is overworked, retired and has no more time. We will give information regarding the obtaining of copies of these documents, however, either by making them available from this source or give another contact.
We will discuss 6 cent mailings at our next writing and then we will make every effort to get this published for availability by the July 23rd meeting in Las Vegas. You beloved citizens of the united states must wake up and take a stand. Stop the transfusions and the game has to cease and the ones responsible for your national debt shall be required to assume responsibility for the treason which has been perpetrated upon "you the people".

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27, 1990 9:04 A.M. YEAR 3 DAY 315DO IT RIGHT--FROM THE START
Before moving on I am going to remind you of some important things. In this Journal, we have dealt only with the ceasing of even filing an income tax form and have given you experienced ways it has been successfully handled. I have done this purposefully because you will find with the government it is most likely all or nothing at all. Therefore, if you are to be massively successful, the transfusions must STOP.
There are plenty of instructions out there on how to cut (avoid) taxes to some extent
--but why have a half-baked potato when you can have it with sour cream, butter, chives and bacon bits?
We are in the efforting of giving you knowledge of how to utilize those things upon your placement which are both practical and legal; along with the ability to defend yourself. We ask that you go back to the prior Journals dealing with Privacy, Incorporating in Nevada, etc., and the serious Journal regarding the Constitution. We are in no manner giving legal advice as would lawyers for we are not licensed Bar Association lawyers (which serves you better than anything else we can offer you).
It is up to you people to demand that the government come back under the laws and perfection of the Constitution. The best way to effect that transition and rapidly do so, is to NEVER allow that Constitutional Convention which is set to remove all freedoms and make Constitutional Laws of these assaults already in practice to fool you.
"WE"
The question often arises when a notice of deficiency or other correspondence is received; WHO is "WE". Be wondrously ecstatic if they blunder and send you such a document because you can have a lot of fun with it--and after all, you should not be doing this if you aren't having fun with it. There truly are laws against hanging you and if you "show" no worthwhile assets no one is even going to bother to make an example of you. You will likely run into the most response to not filing--the very first time, AFTER they have been sucking quite a lot of blood from you regularly.
The standard format for a 90 day letter usually opens something like this, "We have determined that there is a deficiency..."
The question arises, who is "We" and if "We" is not the secretary or the Secretary of the Treasury and identified explicitly, who is "We"? Is "We" delegated to determine that there is a deficiency? And also, where IS that deficiency?--and where is that determination?
Immediately upon receipt of a Notice of Deficiency, send (with proof of mailing) a letter or a Freedom of Information Act request to the district director to:
(a) Produce the document that identifies who is "We".
(b) Produce the document which identifies the official title(s) of the "We" who issued this Notice of Deficiency.
(c) Produce the delegation(s) of authority granted to "We" by the Secretary to make this determination.
(d) Produce the copy of the "determination" that made the accused a "Taxpayer" under Federal U.S. Jurisdiction, which Jurisdiction and Venue has its origin in Art. I, Sec. 8, Cl. 17 of the Constitution, while the Accused has never lived, worked, or had income from the territory mentioned in Cl. 17, and who claims protection by his State Constitution, as well as the National Constitution, from any direct rule by Congress, wherein the statutes of Congress (26 U.S.C.) cannot pass muster of the first 10 Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, known as the Bill of Rights.
Allow a 30 day response time and if no response is received, send it again (with proof of mailing) and if no response is received in 30 days, file a tax court petition denying that the Secretary or Commissioner has made a determination that meets the statutory requirements.
The groundwork should be laid prior to filing the petition in order to meet the minimum criteria of the tax court rule for contents of a petition as set out in tax court Rule 34(b)(4) and (5).
Rule 34(b)(4) says the petition must have "clear and concise assignments of each and every error..." and Rule 34(b)(5) says the petition must have "clear and concise lettered statements of the facts on which the petitioner bases the assignment of error".
DO IT CAREFULLY, FOLLOW THE LETTER OF THE INSTRUCTIONS AND DO IT RIGHT!!
SOME THOUGHTFUL CONCLUSIONS OF ACTION
Let us skip over the penalties as laid forth by the IRS Code because you should never even make it to any such point. Stand up for your legal rights and move forward to recover once you set yourself in legal course.
THE EQUAL ACCESS TO JUSTICE ACT
Under the sponsorship of one Sen. Dennis DeConcini (D-Ariz), Public Law 96-481 was passed on October 1, 1981. This provides that any individual whose personal assets do not exceed $1 million; any corporation, partnership, or unincorporated business with assets of less than $5 million; any business with fewer than 500 employees; and any 501(c)(3) organization is eligible to demand reimbursement from the government because of expenses incurred in proving that it was not justified in making demands upon them, as, for example, when the IRS levies a fine or deficiency ultimately shown to be not owing.
Within 30 days after any litigation is concluded in favor of the taxpayer, he may demand reimbursement for attorney fees, the services of expert witnesses, and any other expenses which became necessary during the dispute. This means that hundreds of thousands of Citizens of the united states of America would have been entitled to larger substantial refunds. Or, what is more likely, the IRS would never have attacked or harassed them at all if you had been standing your ground right along in truth and confidence in your wondrous Constitution.
Those interested should write to Hon. Dennis DeConcini, U.S. Senate, Washington, D.C. 20510 (or just the Arizona Senator's Office, same address.
Now, in most places you will get a list of ones who are "exempt" from filing returns.
WHO ARE EXEMPT FROM FILING RETURNS
I place this listing in this Journal for you to see how advantageous it is to "show" little or no income in the first place.
You are not required to file any return at all unless, in addition to Social Security and income from exempt sources, such as municipal bonds, your income exceeds the following:
$3,300 if single ($4,300 if over 65 years of age);
$1,000 if you are a dependent claimed as a dependent on the return of another;
$5,400 if married; $6,400 if one of the spouses is 65; $7,400 if both are 65 or over;
$4,400 if you are a qualifying widow or widower ($5,400 if 65 or over); $400 for self-employment income only.
You do not need to be on welfare to qualify for the above but it sure does help if you arrange your business affairs in such a manner as to remain "eligible" for same. If, for example, you maintain your business, assets and income within a maximum which would still allow you to be eligible for food stamps assistance--you are managing your assets well.
EXPEDIENT WATCHWORDS
If you want to fight the IRS, don't have any income that it can document, uncover or intercept and don't have any real estate or assets in your own name which can be seized--a maxim which must be observed most scrupulously. Dozens of instructions for accomplishing this feat are given in "PRIVACY IN THE FISHBOWL" a Phoenix Journal.
Ones already using these methods and ideas have become so widespread and successful that it threatens the entire federal income-tax structure. Millions are now following the example--please join the happy crowd!
Just a tiny listing that carries great impact is:
Do business in cash only;
Keep little or no money in bank accounts;
Do not have real estate or other seizable assets in your own names. Drive leased cars only; and DO YOUR HOMEWORK.
FIND OUT HOW TO LEGALLY AND LAWFULLY MANAGE YOUR ASSETS WHEREBY YOU CAN MAINTAIN THE MAXIMUM PRIVACY WHILE ACCOMPLISHING THE TASK AT HAND. I CANNOT URGE YOU STRONGLY ENOUGH TO OBTAIN THE PAST PUBLISHED JOURNALS WHEREIN IT IS ALL COVERED AND RESOURCES GIVEN FOR YOUR UTILIZATION.
HONOR TO WILLIS E. STONE
Willis E. Stone was the founder of the movement to repeal the Sixteenth Amendment. We covered that in current advancement in the last Journal with a request that you join the groups pressing for continuation of the work.
I shall give you a short chapter from TAX REVOLT; THE BATTLE FOR THE CONSTITUTION, by Martin A. Larson. Further, I state herein that we honor Dr. Larson in grateful appreciation and appeal to you to remember him in your prayers for "they" are efforting at "taking him out" within this year. Ask for shielding for his being. The enemy killed Willis Stone. Oh yes, the nature of the ELF beam system is that the beams kill without visible assault--but they are deadly indeed for they produce heart attacks, arrests and strokes. One by one the "troublemakers" are being murdered right under your noses and, because they have advanced in years, not anyone questions their demise. QUESTION IT! DEATH IS BEING DELIBERATELY ACCOMPLISHED TO TRY AND STOP YOUR RECOVERY OF YOUR LIVES AND YOUR NATION. INDEED, TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY FOR YOUR ADVERSARY'S GAME IS DEADLY AND THEY ARE SERIOUS BEYOND YOUR IMAGININGS.
The material given here is slightly revised and was originally supplied by Willis E. Stone, the founder of the movement to repeal the Sixteenth Amendment. (We will not get lost in the discussion of validity of the Amendment for we will deal with "WHAT IS"). He relates the origin, development, and growing support for this vast undertaking. Armin Moths, whose career we can share in some other Journal, has become the principal collaborator in this endeavor, especially in the petition drive for signatures in support of the YES on 23 PROPOSAL.
There is nothing new about tax rebellions. They have been going on throughout human history. Tyrants have been overthrown only to have new ones replace them with other usurpations and consequent oppression.
Only once, in all history, was this crucial problem met and solved--by the establishment of the U.S. Constitution. Thomas Jefferson declared that its purpose was to bind down those in government "from mischief by the chains of the Constitution". This document performed the miracle. In a single century under your Constitution more progress was made than during 6,000 years of previous history. After little more than 100 years of true constitutional government, however, you began to desert the concepts of "government by law" and to renew the power struggles by personalities, partisanship, and policies of the ancient tyrannies of government by force.
Several violations of your Constitution at the start of the 20th century have survived and become the basis of a pattern. Various federal bureaucracies, greedy for power, initiated a constant flow of new intrusions upon your lives and energies, as the memory of freedom and self-reliance began to fade.
The violations of your Constitution continue. The total expenditures of your government from the time it was organized until 1913--when the Sixteenth Amendment was imposed upon you--amounted to just over $25 billion. During that period you advanced from national obscurity to become the richest and most powerful nation on earth. Consider this: The federal deficit in 1982 amounted to nearly five times as much as the total cost of your federal government during YOUR FIRST 125 YEARS! It compounds by leaps and bounds; however, this madness can be stopped--
with the passage of the Liberty Amendment, now pending in Congress as H.J. Res. 23.
ABOUT THIS GROUP OF PIONEERS
One morning in Van Nuys, California, a group met to discuss the increasing threats to your constitutional government from within. All agreed that the Constitution should be restored and the federal government's activities limited to those mandated therein. But, HOW? AND WITH WHAT MEANS?
An industrial consultant who wrote a column for the weekly Sherman-Oaks Citizen Tribune felt that because federal bureaucracies believe that they are empowered to do anything not specifically prohibited to them by the Constitution, a specific provision would have to be added thereto to prevent all their illegal activity. The words of such a provision would need to be so clear and precise that even a federal bureaucrat could not fail to understand them.
To accomplish this objective, it was mandatory to amend the Constitution; or so it appeared at the time, for they were not yet aware that the Sixteenth Amendment had never been ratified. ALWAYS FIGHT ONLY ONE BATTLE AT A TIME IF YOU CAN DO SO--DIRECTIONS CAN BE HONED ALONG THE WAY--THE POINT IS TO "GET STARTED". As a beginning to this end, the Sherman-Oaks paper carried an article on June 2, 1944 (yes, many have been busy in your corner for a long, long time), in which the following was printed: "THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA SHALL NOT ENGAGE IN ANY BUSINESS, COMMERCIAL, OR INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISE IN COMPETITION WITH ITS CITIZENS".
It was a beginning, but no more.
In order for this concept to accomplish its grand design the knowledge and expertise of some 130 top constitutional authorities across the country were recruited to prepare the precise language that would withstand any attack.
It took nine years to complete the first three sections of the present Liberty Amendment, which was submitted to, and approved by, the Illinois legislature in 1953. Section One, similar to the wording printed in the Sherman Oaks paper, reads:
"THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES SHALL NOT ENGAGE IN ANY BUSINESS, PROFESSIONAL, COMMERCIAL, FINANCIAL OR INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISE EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN THE CONSTITUTION".
These twenty-four words do not change the Constitution; instead, they restate the laws already there, which limit the power of those in government so they cannot invade, take over, or encroach upon the properties, enterprise, or lives of the people, except as the Constitution itself clearly permits or provides.
While these words restore the economic rights and powers of the people, they also establish the specific obligations of government to exercise only those limited powers enumerated in the Constitution and enforced by the Ninth and Tenth Amendments. However, since this provision would need protection from the avarice of both foreign and domestic cabals, a second section was added, which provided that:
"THE CONSTITUTION OR LAWS OF ANY STATE, OR THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES, SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF ANY FOREIGN OR DOMESTIC AGREEMENT WHICH WOULD ABROGATE THIS AMENDMENT".
All those preparing the amendment believed that its first two sections were quite capable of restoring to the people all the rights, powers, lands, properties, etc., which had been usurped, and would provide the means of preserving that state of liberty with full human rights to life, liberty, and property from the avarice of domestic and foreign contrivances.
The potential blessings for the American people through the restoration of their Constitution are of amazing dimensions. How much, for example, would the sale of unconstitutionally held lands produce? Estimates of the value of this land (as of 1980) run from a trillion to a trillion and a half dollars. If more than three quarters of it was returned to state jurisdiction and private enterprise, and, therefore, sold, even at half of present appraisals and under unfavorable conditions, it could bring close to half a trillion, cutting the federal debt by that amount, which would reduce the interest charge by at least $50 billion a year. It would also place about 30 percent more land in private enterprise and on the tax rolls to support local, county and state governments, increasing productivity and general well-being.
And if half of the federal debt could be thus expunged, nearly all the remainder could be erased by the simple expedient of repossessing without payment all securities now held by entities that never paid for them in the first place--including the Federal Reserve System, its member banks, and a variety of federal trust funds.
These amazing data demonstrate that, using the simplest equation of all, a dollar cut from federal spending means a dollar reduction in federal taxes. By restoring the Constitution to its full force and effect, government would have to relinquish those powers, properties, and other perquisites it had taken without authority and return them to state jurisdiction. And if the methods of balancing the budget already built into the system by the Constitution were appropriately demanded; all representatives would come under the microscope of constituents at home where there would be answering for indiscreet and stupid bungling along with stopping of bribes and power voting. Apportionment among the states is the name of the game--getting control back into the hands of "We the People".
At last, thirteen years after the research began, what is now known as the Liberty Amendment proposal was completed. It concludes with the following provision:
'THREE YEARS AFTER THE RATIFICATION OF THIS AMENDMENT, THE SIXTEENTH ARTICLE OF AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES SHALL STAND REPEALED AND THEREAFTER CONGRESS SHALL NOT LEVY TAXES ON PERSONAL INCOMES, ESTATES, OR GIFTS".
It does seem a shame to find it necessary to alter a document even as a reminder and recall to law, a document written in perfection at onset but you will do that which must be done to accomplish the task at hand in the most expeditious manner.
Public support, necessary for ratification, increases steadily. It is pending ratification in several states and at least ten have formally approved the resolution in the legislatures.
The proposal has been presented for discussion before many organizations, large and small, across the country; more than 8,000 of them have endorsed resolutions in support of it.
A petition--the Yes on 23--sponsored principally by Armin Moths and his United Taxpayers' Union has already gathered several million signatures.
The concept of liberty is as strong as it was 200 years ago, as evidenced by the extent of the tax rebellion which is starting to have major impact on the illegal governmental system. Grass roots opposition to the federal takeover of land, enterprise, roads, water, crops and countless other things that belong to the people proves that the passion for freedom is alive and well in America if people just focus on the fact that "THERE IS SOMETHING WHICH CAN BE DONE TO CHANGE THINGS".
The source of all these problems is the same: the violation of your Constitution. And all can be resolved by the same means--the restoration of the Constitution to full force and effect as operative law.
These may seem like abstraction, but how real and personal they become when they affect you individually. Just imagine! No more tax form 1040. Instead, a full day's pay for a full day's work---no more IRS gun to your head. And plenty of employment for there are plenty of jobs to be had in a thriving economy based on production. Legislation has never produced a single job, only producers and customers can do that.
You say, well look at all the IRS jobs which would be lost; no, those people would become productive, instead of minor police, in a productive environment. The pay rates are so low for the IRS clerks who hold your entire economy in their hands, and by their own accounts--nearly 70% of questions are incorrectly answered--where do you REALLY think you might fare better? So be it.
THE LIMITS OF A CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT
You must demand a limited government as set forth in the Constitution. You must further demand that that government meet its expenses WITHOUT EITHER A CORPORATE OR AN INDIVIDUAL INCOME TAX. They are both "unlawful" under the Constitution.
The federal government should carry on only those activities, specifically enumerated in Art. I, Sec. 8, of the Constitution, which are:
(1) to lay and collect taxes in the form of duties, imposts, and excises, to pay debts and provide for the common defense, and the General Welfare of the United States;
(2) to borrow money on the credit of the United States;
(3) to regulate foreign and interstate commerce;
(4) to establish rules for naturalization and bankruptcies;
(5) to coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin, and to fix the standards of weights and measures;
(6) to provide for the punishment of counterfeiting;
(7) to establish post offices and post roads;
(8) to provide for copyrights and patents;
(9) to constitute tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court;
(10) to define and punish piracies and felonies on the high seas;
(11) to declare war and make rules concerning captures on land and water;
(12) to raise and support armies;
(13) to provide and maintain a navy;
(14) to make rules governing the land and naval forces;
(15) to provide for a militia and execute the laws of the nation, suppress insurrection, and repel invasion;
(16) to provide for state militias, operating under the control of the states;
(17) to provide a seat for the national government;
(18) to make all laws necessary for carrying into execution the foregoing powers and functions.
THAT IS ALL! AS JEFFERSON DECLARED, CONGRESS IS NOT EMPOWERED UNDER THE CONSTITUTION TO APPROPRIATE MONEY FOR PURPOSES OTHER THAN THOSE HERE SPECIFICALLY ENUMERATED.
As it is now practiced and is intended to be fully implemented within a NEW CONSTITUTION at A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION, the federal government, as it now operates, claims and maintains that the Welfare Clause in Number (1) above, somehow or another gives the general government implied powers to expand its sphere of interest and control into every field of public and private endeavor. Your Founding Fathers meant Welfare as those things that would be equally available to all citizens, such as roads, not subsidies that would be taken from producers and given to non-producers. The current interpretation is a complete perversion of the Constitution.
And how does a space cadet called Gyeorgos Ceres Hatonn know so dangedfooled much? BECAUSE, MY BROTHERS, I WAS THERE WHEN YOUR FOUNDING FATHERS WROTE THE CONSTITUTION IN THE FIRST PLACE! SO BE IT.
WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TOWARD RESTORATION
Before constitutional government can be restored in the United States, you will find some actions necessary. To avoid anarchy there must be orderly movement by the populace and unity with justice:
- (1) You must abolish the personal and corporation income tax, or, alternatively, replace it with something like a five percent general transactions tax, which would be fair, equitable, and easy and inexpensive to administer, and would cost the people only one-third as much for each dollar received by the government as it does under the present system of income taxation.
- (2) To replace the Federal Reserve with a constitutional monetary system which would make continued deficit spending by the Federal government impossible, and would insure a stable money unit and the integrity of contracts for years to come. It would also preserve the value of such investments as stocks, bonds, securities of all kinds, bank deposits, insurance policies, etc., all of which drop in value with rising inflation.
- (3) To replace the Social Security system with a Universal Trust Plan, which would create estates for every person receiving an income. These estates would remain intact for heirs and devisees, no matter when death occurs; they would provide retirement incomes several times as large as those now received under Social Security, and, always it would be according to the desires of the individual contributor.
This would be a grand start. The implementation of just these proposals would constitute one of the greatest, most beneficent, and far-reaching socioeconomic revolutions in the history of mankind and would create a society in which the old would no longer be a burden upon the young and in which tens of millions would enjoy comfortable retirements entirely on their own savings.
Now, some of you will argue, "But what about all that money borrowed and owed
--that national debt!?, Is it moral to just not repay it"? WHO SET UP THIS UNIVERSAL RIPOFF SYSTEM IN THE FIRST PLACE? THE BANKS! WHY SHOULD YOU THE PEOPLE PAY OVER AND OVER FOR THEIR SCHEMES TO GAIN ALL THE WEALTH AND CONTROL OF YOUR PLANET AT YOUR LOSS? THE ENTITIES WHO INJUSTLY CAUSED AND DELIBERATELY SET UP THE CRIME MUST BE THE ONES TO BRING JUSTICE UNTO ITS PROPER SOURCE. LOOK AROUND YOU--THE SCAMS AND UNLAWFUL STEALING, WHILE YOU PAY TWO OR THREE TIMES FOR THE CRIMINALS TO GAIN EVER MORE AND MORE, MUST STOP!
The United States today hovers on the threshold either of infinite greatness or rapid decline and degeneration as has never been seen before in history. It is as simple as that, and as terrifying. If your nation falls into such a condition, it will drag the civilization of the entire Western world with it into a new Dark Age, in which all of freedom and self-reliance will be lost--and then, so shall fall all the nations.
You still have an alternative. Even those judges and politicians who daily betray your Constitution still pay lip service to it. If your Congress, your courts, and your government agencies can be made to follow that incomparable document in letter, spirit, and in truth, then your nation will experience a renaissance, like the Phoenix rising from its ashes into renewed and glorious life. HOW MANY WILL HEAR THE CRY OF THE PHOENIX IN TIME? YOU CAN DO IT IF YOU WANT TO! SALU.
