Show Us The Law!

By Ray Thomas © 2001 - Published: 02.19.01

In the Friday, February 16, 2001 edition of USA Today there is an ad saying many of the things I've read in many places about
the Internal Revenue Service and the Federal Income Tax. I've seen most of these claims before, but have discounted them
because there are a lot of idiots out there saying lots of things (with no proof) that will only get people in trouble. But I sat up and took notice at this one because of several things:

1.Who was saying it: The people saying it in this case are all former employees of the Internal Revenue Service who have
resigned their positions because of these things, one of which was invited to do so when he presented them with the results
of his own two year investigation into the same claims I haveheard from many tax researchers. You can download his 95-page
report of his findings at http://www.freedomabovefortune.com.

Joseph Banister was an IRS Criminal Investigation Division (IRS-CD) Special Agent. A gun-carrying law enforcement officer
who is also a certified public accountant (CPA). Sherry Jackson and John Turner were also IRS employees who resigned
when they could not reconcile their knowledge with the actions of their employer. You can download a copy of the ad or even
buy copies to pass out by going to: http://www.givemeliberty.org.

2.The failure of the IRS to provide the statute or statutes authorizing the income tax and its enforcement: This, more
than anything else, made me sit up and really take notice. They have been invited, many times, to attend meetings where
this was to be discussed, and to bring along statutory backing for what they're doing. They have consistently ignored such
requests and have flatly refused to give anything resembling real statutory backing.

3.Their promoting of a false statute purporting to be their "authority": As I've seen in other areas where they try to
"enforce" laws they have no business "enforcing," they put out statute numbers that lead to real statutes, but which do not
even get close to saying what they insist they say. This is such a standard operating procedure with federal bureaucrats
that the very use of it raises suspicions.

4.The source of the information: All the factual information presented here is taken from federal income tax laws, federal
regulations, the IRS employees' manual, various government documents, letters, and publications, as well as from U. S.
Court decisions.

There are many things claimed by these three in this ad:

·There is no law that requires most Americans to file a tax return, pay the federal income tax, not have it withheld from
their earnings. Consequently, the IRS cannot produce one.

·The 16th Amendment was fraudulently declared to be "ratified." That's the one that supposedly "authorized" the
federal income tax. The lame-duck Secretary of State so declared it to be ratified, only days before leaving office.
And evidence that it was so ratified seems to be missing.

·The creation of the Federal Reserve System under questionable circumstances: In secret conclave, the Federal Reserve System was created by the largest private banks in this country (and other countries) and was granted, by the government, the power to fabricate money out of thin air; charge interest to the government for the use of their "fiat money;" receive taxes to
pay the interest on the debt thereby created, to be paid with the American people's gold and silver. All in clear violation
of the United States Constitution, which says that Congress is the only agency that can "coin money" and that this power
cannot be delegated. The IRS and the federal income tax was necessary to pay that interest and was created in the same
year.

·"The Fed" is not a government agency: No matter how many bureaucrats insist that it is, it is a private company owned
by large banking interests. Furthermore, it has never been audited.

·Taxes are not "voluntary." The way they've got it set up, they're only "voluntary" to the extent that you're only "required" to file a Form 1040 each year. But when you do, you "voluntarily" waive your 5th Amendment right not to bear witness against yourself and agree to pay the tax. After that it is "required." The IRS routinely violates your 4th Amendment rights against illegal search and seizure in their efforts to collect it..

·IRS levies and seizures are unenforceable: The reason is that the IRS is unable and unwilling to swear under oath that a law
has been broken or that there is probable cause of a violation. But judges routinely violate their oaths of office and the law by upholding them.

According to these three in their ad, "[T]he operations of the IRS, the federal income tax system, and the Federal Reserve
dramatically exceed what is authorized by the Constitution, laws, and regulations," and that "[T]he system has been
deliberately designed to deceive, confuse, and intimidate." Also that it is "...founded upon fraud and operates as a giant
hoax."

They also say that "...inflation was made possible and our currency debased when the government legalized the Federal
Reserve to issue our money out of thin air without the backing of precious metals (as dictated specifically by the
Constitution).

But the most telling thing in what they've written in this ad is the fact that the IRS cannot, or will not, show us the
statutory backing for what they do. The fact that they have been invited to do so on many occasions and have not is ample
evidence that there is none, in my opinion. It is my feeling that any government agency that is lawfully constituted will not hesitate to bring forward such "authorization." That they will have it printed up on pamphlets ready to hand out to all
that ask.

The ad says that they "...want the government to answer the questions raised by these allegations, clearly and
unambiguously. I say: "Don't hold your breath." Before they do that, they'll trump up charges of tax evasion against all
three of you and they will be "criminal violations" so they can not only refute (in most people's minds) what you're saying, but discredit you and get rid of you all together. That's also a "routine hustle" with the government. You can look for the "jack-booted thugs" any day now.

If the IRS ever comes after me again (and I'm sure they will, since I'm writing about their unlawful activities), that's the
first thing I'm going to demand, that they "show me the law" that allows them to harass me.

Subject: 2nd try " Does America's Soul Need Illumination?"

Dear xxxxx::

Thank you for printing the artical from USA Today about the IRS.I found it very interesting,especially from a newspaper source.  Most times this kind of information comes to us through free speech channels, not those that are controled by the money people. Excuse my cynicism, but after reading extensively about the secret plot to implement the "NEW WORLD ORDER", I am looking at this from a new perspective.   I believe we should educate ourselves, but the surface was merely scratched here.   There is an organization whose roots are so deep, it would take an act of GOD to free the world from its tierney. In the artical they said, Americas' Soul needs illumination,very interesting choise of words, since the name of the group who controls the worlds governments and monitary systems is named the Illuminati.

Did you know that they are looking for ways to insite upevil in the U.S.A. so they can declare marshall law and place FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) in control then implement their world government, the New World Order.  People! If you think things are bad now, hold on to your socks, because what they have in place now and plan to do will be HELL on earth. So yes, educate yourselves, but before you start a tussle, find out who you are planning to provoke, because it's not congress. They are infiltrated by the most sinister of people and controled by them.  Things are just the way they want
them and congress will do nothing to change it. I recently watched a program on the History Channel (Secret Societies)
which is scheduled to air again on March 4th, (Sunday at 11:00 AM).

They talked about the Illimunati, the Trilateral and the Bergerberers. I was curious to see if there was anything to it, so I started to search the WEB. On Atomica ( the old gurunet) to my surprise, there were ten pages of sources and information to read.   There is even a 348 Pg book about the 13 families of the Illuminati (that was researched by a Christian). For those of you who want to know what's really going on in our government, there is plenty to read out there. America is no longer the land of the free and the home of the brave, we have become the land of the blind and enslaved. While we were sleeping, (apathy is the word of the day) they have systematically stolen our freedom.  What you will learn will be a rude awakening. If we intend to fight, we had better do it as GODS army, there is no other way.  Read the bible, be one with Jesus Christ and we may still win.
Thanks
