- The People have reached a watershed moment.
-
- The material issue of fact is the fraudulent jurisdiction
of the IRS and the absent, yes, MISSING, legal authority for the IRS to
force employers to withhold income taxes from employee paychecks and the
lack of authority for the IRS to force the People to file a tax return
and to pay income taxes.
-
- Against a backdrop of (a), the government's
gangster-style,
brutal, forceful intimidation and enforcement behavior (i.e., unlawfully
enforcing the income tax without bona fide legal authority) and (b), the
government's capricious, even freakish, evasion of every opportunity it
has been presented with to answer the Peoples, intelligent and rational
petitions regarding such authority, the record of the Citizens,
Truth-In-Taxation
Hearing stands uncontested as incontrovertible proof of a government hoax
and tyranny of the most pernicious form. Our nation must respond.
-
- Far beyond the well documented issues that there is no
law that actually makes the average American liable for the tax and the
widespread violations of due process and other constitutional rights by
the IRS, our hearing broke into new and disturbing areas where testimony
and evidence revealed, among many things:
-
- * IRS agents illegally manipulate IRS computer data files
to unlawfully bypass programming that would legally prohibit any tax
enforcement
actions because of statutory time limits.
-
- * Massive and illegal manipulation of the core IMF
computer
database to create fraudulent return records, without legal authority,
that are what set in motion the tax collection mechanisms.
-
- * Testimony and detailed evidence from an ex-IRS Revenue
Agent detailing fraudulent IRS training classes for IRS agents in which
agents are instructed in creating "substitute" returns for
non-filers.
The fine print of the training materials carefully avoids the mention of
individual income tax statutes or 1040s although that is presumably most
of what these agents work on! Further testimony revealed this is because
there is NO legal authority for an agent to create a "substitute"
1040 return. Internal memos from the IRS's Office of Counsel clearly show
they know a "substitute for return" cannot stand the scrutiny
of a direct legal challenge.
-
- * Testimony of IRS Agents initiating levy and seizure
enforcement actions when they are clearly not authorized under the law
to do so. One ex-IRS agent testified that even though an armed
"SWAT"
team would show up at a citizen's home, the IRS was not authorized to
actually
"seize" it --- they would effectively scare the citizen into
fleeing his home, thereby surrendering it "voluntarily" to the
government!
-
- * New testimony and evidence uncovering the fraudulent
ratification of the 16 Amendment: Far beyond the punctuation and spelling
errors cited so casually by legal historians, the hearing delved into new
lines of questioning detailing significant and widespread violations of
state constitutions which the government clearly knew of in 1913 and that
void those states, amendment votes for all time.
-
- * An alarming government research report from 1957 which
details clearly that the federal government does not have legislative
jurisdiction
within the geographical confines of the fifty states unless very specific
legal procedures officially relinquish that jurisdiction to the federal
government from the state. The evidence makes it clear that without
legislative
jurisdiction, there is no power to tax.
-
- In summary, for the first time there is a substantial,
unambiguous record of facts, sworn to under oath by credentialed
professionals,
which support the Peoples, uncontested charge that the federal income tax,
represents the greatest hoax, ever, perpetrated by any government in human
history - and this, in the "freest" nation on earth.
-
- The factual record of the tax hearing is based on the
sworn testimony of tax researchers, ex-IRS agents, an ex- IRS counsel that
served in IRS, headquarters in Washington, DC, CPAs, a forensic accountant
and tax and constitutional attorneys. Backing up each of the 460 statements
of fact are evidentiary documents.
-
- We have a government that has arrogantly refused to
respond
to the People as required under the Constitution. The government's
inability
and unwillingness to confront these charges speaks volumes and has provoked
a constitutional crisis that will not retreat without resolution.
-
- As events and initiatives unfold in the coming days each
of us must ask, "What does a free people do when faced with
governmental
tyranny and the loss of rights, liberties and freedoms?" How should
the People respond?
-
- More importantly, "How will I respond? What personal
responsibility do I have to help end this tyranny? How important is this
in my life or my children's lives? Am I willing to live as a slave? Am
I willing to tolerate a government that acts outside the law? Am I willing
to commit my children into a future of slavery because I was too
comfortable
or too scared?
-
- Many of you reading this have not seen any of the hearing
-- yet. Within days, we will be posting some short video segments from
the hearing so that you can see and feel the "electric" event
as it occurred. You will see video glimpses into what history should mark
as the turning point in the reclamation of our liberty and our
Republic.
-
- We are in the beginning stages of a constitutional crisis
that has been triggered by nothing less than a government that refuses
to come before the People and publicly establish their bona fide legal
authority.
-
- During the coming days, please spread word of these
events
to your friends and stay ever vigilant as we come together to educate our
nation and assert our rights to those principles our Founding Fathers
fought
and died for.
-
- Loose End: The Foundation needs to settle our accounts
payable.
-
- The bills have come in. The Citizens, Truth-In-Taxation
Hearing cost $ 321,000. This includes attorneys fees, webcast contractors,
video crews, direct mail campaigns, conference facility costs, witness,
travel and lodging, computer equipment, equipment rental costs, software,
advertising, etc. We are happy to be able to say that with the assistance
of many People, the Foundation has been able to pay $271,000 of those
expenses.
-
- Unfortunately, we are short $49,000. Ours is a problem
requiring prompt attention. Everyone is respectfully requested to do
whatever
they can to help us zero out our accounts payable.
-
- The staff of the Foundation are all volunteers. We will
continue our educational efforts until there is a constitutionally
satisfactory
resolution of this issue. Our effectiveness will continue to be directly
proportional to our ability to pay for what needs to be done.
-
- We hope you perceive both the value and progress this
organization has made to this cause. With more resources we can move more
quickly and bring this message to the masses. Your investment will help
end tyranny more quickly.
-
- For instance, to make it possible for the People
everywhere,
as well as editors and reporters of local newspapers, radio and T.V.
stations
from all over the country to learn of this effort, this Foundation is
producing
a LIVE, 1-hour press conference on April 8th that will be broadcast over
the internet for FREE. As you may suspect, it costs money to make that
happen.
-
- BUT--consider the opportunity this single event presents
to educate untold numbers of the uninitiated public and press about this
crisis.
-
- What we are doing is unprecedented. This Foundation has
created a national presence and is at the forefront of this vital and
necessary
cause. At the end of the day, however, we have to pay the National Press
Club about $3,000 -- and this will still not include the costs of hotel,
air travel, press releases, etc. Nor will it be used for or begin to pay
for the personal time, technical/computer services, etc. being donated
by many people involved with this press conference and who support the
ongoing behind the scenes efforts.
-
- Please be generous. Freedom has never been free. The
battle is here and now.
-
- Donate.
Sponsor the cost of a hearing package.
Spread the word.
-
- Loose End: DC Hotel accommodations for April 14-15th
(Sun.-Mon.)
-
- We encourage everyone to be in DC and help us personally
deliver a special "Congressional hearing package" to each and
every member of Congress as well as the President. The package will
contain
a letter putting the representative on formal notice about the tax hearing
and urging them to act accordingly.
-
- Hotel: Washington Plaza, which is located on Thomas
Circle.
Rate: $99 plus tax, if you tell them you are with We The People. Hotel
parking available. Phone: 1-800-424-1140.
-
- The Washington Plaza is 2-3 blocks from McPherson Square,
which is where you can hop the Metro (subway) for the short trip to the
two stations located on the mall. The two metro stations on the mall are
located at the Smithsonian and at South Capitol Street behind the House
office buildings. Both the orange and blue lines of the Metro link
McPherson
Square, the Smithsonian and So. Capitol Street.
-
- The Foundation is seeking a permit to park our van and
billboard trailer on the mall near the Smithsonian, or, alternatively,
closer to the Capitol. We plan to have a public gathering on the mall
sometime
on Sunday, April 14th. Details will be available later on our
website.
-
- Please note that there is an underground rail system
linking the House office buildings to the Senate office buildings, which
are on opposite sides of the Capitol. Those of you who will be serving
your Representative and Senators with a copy of the hearing Record may
want to use the rail system, which is available to the public.
-
- Evolving Strategy: Coordinate legal resources and
information
sharing among those currently being targeted by the IRS.
-
- Your comments would be welcome about the following
idea:
-
- As you may know, the IRS appears to be on the warpath.
In the last few months it has filed a series of lawsuits against people
who have been instrumental in spreading information about the fraudulent
jurisdiction of the IRS and the unlawful enforcement of the income tax
laws. Many of these lawsuits appear to be aimed at getting a court to order
the defendant to "stand still," i.e., to stop talking to other
people or in public about the income tax.
-
- For instance, lawsuits have been filed, or may soon be
filed against David Bosset, Thurston Bell, Douglas Rosile, the Joy
Foundation,
Robert Lawrence, Nick Jesson, Dick Simkanin, Al Thompson, Don Schutt, Wayne
Benston, Irwin Schiff, Chad Pratter, David Swanson, Institute For Global
Prosperity (IGP), and so forth.
-
- While the Foundation does not know many of these people,
nor the specific facts and circumstances leading up to their confrontations
with the IRS, it would appear to us that we are all aboard the "same
boat". We perceive a collective opportunity to work together and force
the government into answering many of the hearing questions as part of
the trial discovery process that may present itself in many of these
cases.
-
- The People and liberty would be well served if the IRS
were to be forced by the courts to answer the same 460 questions which
were answered at the Citizens, Truth-In-Taxation Hearing (and the 78
questions
which time prevented from being asked).
-
- We also believe the People and liberty would be well
served if the discovery phase of these lawsuits were to be coordinated
and handled by person(s) who know the rules and procedures and have
extensive
litigation experience.
-
- We would like to extend our educational activities to
the courtrooms where the issue of the legal authority of the IRS is being
played out. Testing the attitude of the judiciary can be very
educational.
-
- We would like to hear your opinion on this idea and
suggestions
about how to proceed, organize, finance and execute the effort. We would
also like to hear directly from the defendants in the pending cases or
their attorneys. E-mail us ASAP to: bob@givemeliberty.org
-
- Time is of the essence. Discovery is already underway
in the Bosset case.

- A Very Loose End: A Heartfelt Thank You
-
- And last, but certainly not least, this nation and this
Foundation owe an incredible round of thanks to the legal researchers,
scholars, ex-IRS personnel and ordinary Americans who have spent years
learning the details of this tyrannical travesty and who have stepped forth
with the courage and character to share their work.
-
- Even in the face of prosecution, imprisonment and the
ridicule of co-workers, family and the public this small army of dedicated
souls has toiled long and arduously to bring these truths into the light.
Their dedication to freedom and their personal commitment to altering
the course of this nation will not go unseen by history.
-
- Many thanks as well go to those across this country who
have helped the researchers, this Foundation and the entire
Truth-in-Taxation
movement come this far by their gifts of time, spirit, energy, and
financial
support. Thank you all.
-
- Our nation now sits poised to open a door that will
forever
change our history. As everyday citizens learn of these truths there will
be many more that will demand change and answers for themselves.
-
- Let us give flight to the truth.
-
- Let us open our hearts and put this cause in a
perspective
within our own lives, giving proper reflection as to the true value of
life, liberty and freedom.
-
- Let us join together and work in concert to educate our
nation, our families, our elected representatives, and even those of our
countrymen who may have been deceived by, and work for our own
government.
-
- Let us move swiftly, surely and in solidarity to bring
closure to this Constitutional crisis in a manner befitting a peaceful,
enlightened, and free Sovereign People.
