In his push to have the Census Bureau count the number of U.S. citizens, Sen. David Vitter, Louisiana Republican, is taking a very parochial approach with his colleagues: Your state could be the one to lose an extra seat in Congress. Mr. Vitter is holding up one of the 2010 spending bills in the Senate, demanding a vote on his amendment to force the census to add a question about citizenship status to its 2010 questionnaire. He has written letters to the senators from nine states he says would lose seats to states with higher illegal immigrant or non-citizen populations, telling them it’s in their interest to support him.
“Voting for cloture or against my amendment could very well be a vote to strip your state of proper representation in Congress and cede your state’s influence to other states that reward illegal immigrants like California and New York,” he said in his letter to Indiana’s two senators, which would be among those at a disadvantage.
But the fight is turning personal as the Census Bureau says it is too late and too expensive to change next year’s count. Immigrant rights groups and some Democratic lawmakers say it’s mean-spirited and racist to ask the kind of question Mr. Vitter wants. “It’s really a coldblooded political maneuver to discourage participation by people of color,” said Rep. Barbara Lee, California Democrat. Rep. Joe Baca, California Democrat, wondered “whether ladies of the night” should be counted – a reference to Mr. Vitter’s acknowledged use of an escort service.
This is an example of political correctness – a favorite of the communist Democrats. And witness the mud-slinging by the Latino who should be ashamed but isn’t. He represents a party that is despicable and the worse ever in our lifetime. It is an immoral party by the likes of this Latino and Barbara Lee that has proven to be an incompetent representative typically of others in the Democratic Party.
Every ten years, the 535 seats in the House are divided among the states based on population. At root, the new debate is whether only those eligible to vote should be considered for those purposes or whether everyone residing in this country should be tallied. The 14th Amendment to the Constitution says (in part) : “Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each state, excluding Indians not taxed.”
Michael P. McDonald, a professor at George Mason University who studies the drawing of congressional districts, said that language is clear, and, barring a change to the Constitution, seats must be allocated based on the total number of people. “You’d have to have a constitutional amendment to change the apportionment numbers,” McDonald said.
The following is the rest of the 14th Amendment:
“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
The “nor deny to any person” (I believe it meant ‘citizens’) is what the communists use to twist the meaning of the 14th. Do you believe as wise as our founding fathers were they would include just anyone? The question I raise is what about jurisdiction? Government in our country doesn’t have jurisdiction over a person here illegally. Put that in your pipe and smoke it – Harvard lawyers. What the administration is doing with the terrorist in New York is way out of order. Some are predicting the security cost will be around $70 million. And now the Mayor of New York wants us to pay for it. This scumbag from the Middle East belongs in a military court YOU ASSHOLES IN WASHINGTON.
What follows is more of the 14th :
“…But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.”…the article continues
Mr. Vitter is not so sure – and his spokesman says before the country can have that debate, it should at least get better data about the scope of the issue. “Constitutional scholars (graduates of Harvard like President Pinocchio who are illiterate to some degree of Constitutional law) who’ve spoken to the senator’s office have argued that it is not as clear as district courts have ruled – (more constitutional illiterates) There has not been a high court ruling on this issue as far as I have learned,” spokesman Joel DiGrado said.
Elliot Stonecipher, a demographer in Louisiana whose Op-Ed column in the Wall Street Journal this summer helped spark the debate, said he believes the legal issues are still in doubt, but that the principles involved are clear.
“I have yet to read one spokesperson from the left who will simply argue that noncitizens should get representation in the House of Representatives,” he said. (Don’t hold your breath) “They will use all kinds of other arguments, mainly about settled law and the 14th Amendment, but they won’t ever jump up and say, “We believe here’s the reason noncitizens should have representation in the House of Representatives.”
The effort has enraged immigrant rights supporters, and a group of Democratic lawmakers from the Asian, black and Hispanic caucuses (How about a “White caucuses?” – what’s good for the goose is good for the gander – but no – the decent folk in our society have thrown in the towel) held a news conference Oct. 22 to denounce Mr. Vitter’s efforts. They warned that if his amendment passed it would push back next year’s census. What about the rule of law? You God-damn Democrats!
Rep. William Lacy Clay, Missouri Democrat, held up a photo of the warehouse where millions of already printed census forms are stacked seven-stories high, waiting to be mailed out next year. Mr. Baca, who mentioned Mr. Vitter’s association with an escort, has introduced a competing bill that would write into law that no question about citizenship or immigration status may be included in the decennial census. The law is clear you ignorant lawmaker – the 14th Amendment applies to citizens only. If you want to change the wording it would require an amendment – you ignorant fool.
Questions about citizenship have been included in other census questionnaires that go to smaller samples than the decennial census. The results suggest that California would have five or six fewer seats than it does now if only citizens were counted. Mr. Vitter said the states that lose out on seats under the current system are Iowa, Indiana, Mississippi, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Michigan, South Carolina and his own state of Louisiana.
Democrats have tried once to end the filibuster but were three votes shy of the 60 votes needed to overcome Republicans’ blockade, though three Democrats missed that vote. (Probably in the IRS office explaining why they haven’t paid their income tax)
For now, Mr. Vitter remains deadlocked with Democratic leaders. A spokeswoman for Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski, Maryland Democrat and chairman of the spending subcommittee that wrote the bill, could shed no light on when Democrats might try to break the impasse.
While he said changing apportionment is unconstitutional, Mr. McDonald said it was an open question whether individual states could use citizenship numbers to draw their congressional district lines. He said Kansas and Hawaii have excluded nonresidents in drawing some district lines for their state legislatures. In the case of Hawaii, the location of a military base could have led at one point in the past to a state district with no eligible voters…end of article.
The agenda of people that rule the earth is to unite all countries in our continent under one economic system. It is being done in all of Europe under the Euro. The treaties that have been signed by Canada, Mexico, and other Latin countries with our country are the beginnings of ties that will economically connect all of us. After that has been accomplished…all of Asia will be next. All this will take time but the powers at be don’t mind how long it takes – the goal is one-world government.
As far as the census to include illegal immigrants is concerned – this is part of the equation. The reason why this rotten government has been so relaxed with enforcing immigration laws is two-fold. 1. Cheap labor – supported by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Democratic Party, main-stream media, and of course government itself. It has allowed millions of illegal aliens to condition American people to assimilation. In the future the borders will be erased and we’ll be one happy enslaved family. 2. The issue of amnesty that will be brought forth and could pass is for democrats to pad the voting rolls in their favor – especially with radical organizations like ACORN to do their criminal work. Guess who these millions will eventually vote for? Incidentally, Republicans are attempting to get Democrats to investigate ACORN further but the Committee that handles this is telling the Republicans to go to hell. We have criminals running YOUR Congress.
3. What the ignorant amongst us are not being told is that if amnesty is granted millions will be able to bring their families into our country. You know what that means? More welfare – more subsidies – billions more added to the deficit. How in the hell will Jose be able to afford the family on minimum wage? He can’t. So, the young in the family quit going to school to help…and the vicious cycle of poverty and ignorance continues.
Clearly, the Democrats in Congress have become the enemy within. The press who is owned and controlled by the elite in this country is also responsible. And as long as government controls education – which it has no constitutional authority to do, just as it has no right constitutionally to force us to buy their rotten health plan – our young are being indoctrinated to socialism and made ignorant, translation – government is their daddy.
The problem is, and always has been our ignorance of how government should legally work. All our problems arise from this ignorance. I keep repeating myself – your U.S. Constitution is the solution. We must have law and order – the Constitution tells you how…I love you America.

“I AM SORRY I HAVE ONLY ONE BAT TO SWING FOR MY COUNTRY!”

U. S. Supreme Court Shirks Duty to Rule…
This writer would submit to her readers that the passage and ratification of the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution were not a rightful exercise of lawful authority. This writer authored an article on this same subject in Nov., 1977, but believes that it is time again to bring it to the public’s attention.
The Civil War ended on April 9, 1865 with Lee’s surrender at Appomattox Court House in Virginia. Shortly thereafter, in December, 1865, the 13th Amendment was ratified. This amendment freed the slaves and prohibited involuntary servitude in the states. (This is why some question why government forces employers to withhold taxes of employees – involuntary servitude) However, the southern states never voted on ratification even though there was considerable argument that the southern states never left the union because there was no right of secession. This was also Lincoln’s position.
On the other hand, Congressional leaders Thaddeus Stevens and Charles Sumner held that seceding states had actually committed suicide and no longer existed.
The historical background as well as the ratification process of the 13th Amendment is too extensive to go into this article, but the evidence suggests that the 13th Amendment – not ratified by the states – is not legally a part of the Constitution. The 14th Amendment was passed by Congress on June 13, 1866, and submitted to the state legislatures for ratification.
The Congressional Joint Committee on Reconstruction made ratification of this amendment the prerequisite for the seating of representatives of the southern states. Of the eleven seceded states, only Tennessee ratified it. The others all refused.
As a result of this refusal, in the spring of 1868 Congress – egged on by the vengeful leadership of Thaddeus Stevens – divided the ten remaining states into five military districts, to be administered under officers appointed by the president and empowered to register voters. The rationale for this American dictatorship was that the seceded states had forfeited their state’s rights and were conquered territory. A military commission was then set up and the rebel states were reconstructed. The dilemma here is very grave. If they weren’t states, how then could they ratify a constitutional amendment?
The duly elected representatives sitting in the southern legislatures were forcibly removed at bayonet point; and unelected blacks and northern carpetbaggers, who did not meet the residence requirements demanded by law, were installed in their places. The 14th Amendment, granting citizenship to those born here, was then resubmitted to the states for ratification by the illegally constituted southern state legislatures. It was proclaimed ratified on July 20, 1868.
At that time, Virginia, Mississippi, Texas and Georgia had not been re-admitted to the union, but by the time they were ready to be admitted, the 15th Amendment was before the state legislatures for ratification. This granted black men the right to vote and was based on the 13th and 14th Amendments…the 14th Amendment has been twisted by the communist to mean rights for everyone in this country – that is bullshit! This is the only time they use the Constitution – to fool people. Your Constitution is hardly ever spoken about favorably.
These four states were forced to agree to ratification of the 15th Amendment as a condition to their admission to the union, creating a situation of blackmail, by disallowing free choice to those states whose votes were needed for ratification. The forcible and illegal ratification of these three amendments is one of the blackest spots in our history, exceeded only by the U.S. Supreme Court’s refusal to rectify the situation, calling it a political question and denying their jurisdiction in the matter.
It is the court’s position that the solution for all political questions lies with the Congress, not the courts. This writer submits that where questions of legality occur, even in political matters, it is the court’s duty to exercise jurisdiction and to make rulings that conform to the Constitution…this is known as “separation of powers.”
This is particularly important in the cases where amending of the Constitution itself is involved. Unfortunately, the question of whether an amendment has been effectively ratified has been held to be a matter for Congress to decide. (Coleman v. Miller, (1939) 307 US 433.)…so much for lawful government!!!…end of article
A famous tax rebel went to all the states and did research of how the 16th Amendment (income tax) was ratified and discovered that it wasn’t! It was all based on fraud and deceit. The following is a follow-up by the wife of the publisher of The Justice Times.
Send Your Senator A Message: Free Our Political Prisoners:
By Anita Lowery – Times publisher
Recent decisions in at least two U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeals, the 7th and the 9th, regarding the fact that the 16th Amendment was not properly ratified have set precedent that this is a political question and not a judicial matter. What this means is that we now have, and have had political prisoners and now the courts have admitted it!
Well, well, well, isn’t this interesting? Anything different from Cuba? Russia? You see how long we’ve had criminals running our government. And our people are still kept ignorant by the media…”and the truth shall make you free”…a phrase used by many newspapers. The media serves the elite – not us.
The easiest public servants to contact are senators since there are only two in each state, and it is time to put them on notice that new tax reform bill (H.R. 3838) is a fraud because it is impossible to reform a fraud and come up with anything other than fraud. The Senate Committee on Finance hearings on the new tax bill is in session now and will end on August 15th when Congress adjourns for the summer vacation.
We should make a personal visit with as many of his constituents as possible, up to ten, but with one major spokesman – explaining to him courteously, but firmly that they had no law upon which to base the personal income tax; therefore, it is a farce to reform it and it must be abolished instead. We need to do this right away.
Your Senator must be told that political prisoners right here in America are being held on a law that has no substance, and that instead of participating in such a farce, you insist that he insist on the release of all prisoners who were charged with breaking any law which has to do with the personal income tax. You should also insist that all such prosecutions stop immediately.
The publishers and contributing writers of the Justice Times didn’t understand how far removed politicians in Washington had become from people. These outstanding Americans tried their best to forewarn the public about criminals in Congress but were ridiculed by the press and many jailed for their effort. Since then, the Congress has become the worst ever in our history. No elected representative – in both parties – should be shown respect. They are criminals in the first degree and should be told every chance you get….she continues
It may be impossible to make a personal visit to your senator before the hearings are over, so a letter will have to suffice for now. However it should be reinforced with a visit after August 15.
As if you can pick up the phone and ask for a personal appointment with the senator. They are too busy for you. They are busy hustling the lobbyists. I sent a letter once to one of the national committee of a party with questions and I got a fund-raising letter instead. I wrote back and told them to shove the party up to you know where.
Please also send copies of letters written to your senator on this subject. The Justice Times will try to see that all 100 senators get the message from their own constituents. Show them the ad on the back cover of The Justice Times and the list of wives of political prisoners on the Remembrance Club page. Better yet, either buy them a set of The Law That Never Was (By Bill Benson) or strongly suggest that they buy it.
Give them a copy of the Constitution and explain to them that it is a bill of restrictions – on them! Tell them that if they will follow the plan for taxation as laid down by our forefathers, which provides for ample funds to run legitimate government, that we will have prosperity and happiness once again in this great country of ours.
Tell your senator that we are going to get rid of the illegitimate, personal, graduated income tax because it is slavery and we will not allow our children and grand children, or his to be slaves. Let him know that he can be of real service to his constituents and to his country by leading the way…how naïve we were. End of article
“Communism is a hateful thing and a menace to peace and organized government; but the Communism of combined wealth and capital, the outgrowth of over-weaning cupidity and selfishness, which insidiously undermines the justice and integrity of free institutions, is not less dangerous than the Communism of oppressed poverty and toil, which exasperated by injustice and discontent, attacks with wild disorder the citadel of rule.” (President Cleveland)
When any Congress allows allows International Bankers to control our monetary system; the taking over of business in the private sector; spends money we don’t have; wastes billions in pork; continues war policies for global corporations; doesn’t do anything when hundreds of billions are ripped off; ignores the rule of law; allows the “ethics committee” in name only; when the leaders in Congress bribe representatives for votes; when the Speaker of the House uses a jet that seats 200 people almost every weekend to fly home at a cost of $120,000; when the same person responds to a constitutional question by stating “Are you kidding?” and also calls people their first amendment right to assemble as “un-American”…as long as government operates outside our Constitution I call this communism…and less you forget – our young are dying in uniform for these criminals. Welcome to Democracy in America – the worse form of government.
DEMOCRATS AT HOME, THROW OUT THE COMMUNISTS IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY – THEY ARE DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME PARTY OF YESTERDAY.

The following is an editorial which appeared in The Justice Times in 1987.
Rather often, every patriot has to come face to face with the reality of how different his social, political and religious views are than what is considered to be today’s norm.
When you’re in court asserting your rights or refusing to bow to the judge when he enters and exits, observers look at you as if you’re nuts – you know that there’s something basically different about your beliefs and those of most Americans. When you’re driving on a public road, and see the licensed trucks lined up at a weight station, or see submissive drivers explaining to a police officer why they were doing 60 and not 70, you realize there is a sharp difference between what you believe and what the motorist believes.
When you’re making a large purchase, whether it’s an automobile or just a few hundred dollars worth of merchandise, clerks seem to wonder why you are carrying all those federal reserve notes (the fed notes is the true reason for inflation) with you and why you can’t pay by check or credit card like most other folks – then you know you probably could not easily explain to that clerk your reasons.
When you start talking about a specific provision of the U.S. Constitution which provides restrictions on government, and the person you’re talking with has never even read the Constitution (90% of citizens) – then you know you look at things differently than most other Americans.
When you pick up your daily newspaper and read a story about the sorrows of people who won’t work, but rely on government; or a propaganda article about another IRS scheme to scare people into paying income taxes – then you know that there’s something different about yourself and the newspaper editors, writers and the majority of its readers.
But even as many times every day as we’re made aware of the sharp differences between the beliefs of dedicated, Christian patriots and the average American citizen, we’re still convinced that after more than a dozen years of struggle, we don’t and can’t realize just how sharp the difference is. R ecently, on the front page of a local newspaper, was an article that many citizens probably read with glee, and even some patriots (tax rebels) inwardly cheered about – at least until they thought about the article’s deep implications.
The front page of the Arkansas Democrat read: “Taxpayers’ Bill of Rights targets IRS abuse.” The story said that – based on some recent abusive actions by the IRS such as the theft of 10-year old Shannon Burns $694 savings account – some of our Congressmen had introduced legislation to protect taxpayers from the IRS abuse of power.
The proposal sponsored by newly-elected Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada (a present day criminal) and Rep. Robin Talon from South Carolina, was signed by 43 members of Congress and was based on a similar proposal that was defeated last year (by Democrats) prior to the passage of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 that supposedly gave the IRS even more power to abuse citizens. But the important thing that everyone should notice – particular members of Congress (has become criminal) – is that there is little or no protection that they could provide for American citizens, tax payers and non-taxpayers alike, than those provided all of us in the U.S. Constitution. Few persons outside the Patriotic Movement realize that no greater protection can be provided for all Americans than we have by enforcement of the provisions already in the Constitution.
In the ‘60s through the early ‘90s this movement, like the “Tea Party”, was composed of hundreds of thousands of citizens called “tax rebels” fighting what they considered the collecting of taxes from wages unconstitutional. The government, along with the media controlled by the elite, destroyed many and the movement was curtailed – but not eradicated completely.
As Jack Warren Wade Jr., a former IRS agent turned critic said in an article about his former employer:
“The people in the field feel they have the freedom to do whatever they want. A key problem is that the IRS code gives taxpayers practically no rights. You owe the tax, fines – we want everything you have. It doesn’t matter whether it’s unethical or immoral…they do it.”
Being a former IRS agent, even Wade probably knows little of the Constitution. But for those babes in the woods, there are a few provisions in the Constitution and what’s call the Bill of Rights that make it unlawful to confiscate property without due process of law, unlawful to have trials without juries when demanded, unlawful to impose taxes on wages and unlawful to do many things that IRS officials do daily without question.
Obviously, it’s questionable whether we can educate enough members of Congress and the judiciary sufficiently to regain those constitutionally-protected rights. However, we feel certain – and should inform those public officials – that more legislation about the IRS is not the answer. What we need is for all government officials to start obeying the Constitution. It was written as a shield, to protect us from greedy, power hungry politicians like those running our country now.
What we know for certain is that our Founding Fathers were right. They enumerated for us God-given rights in our Constitution to protect us from the government, and left us with the question of whether we could hang on to what they won for us on the battlefield.
….End of article….
Our Founding Fathers’ through the years have been demonized by the communists in academia and the controlled press. God has almost been made a bad word. Many religious denominations have become socialists. Christians and Conservatives are attacked daily. Observe how Communists journalists write about Sarah Palin. It doesn’t matter to them that she attracts thousands and has many good ideas for the country but as I’ve said before, any thing decent and good for our country, the socialists/communists system will destroy. Don’t forget, the bankers invented communism to control and make money. True conservatism is a threat to their enslavement of the American people.
The Constitution doesn’t give us God-given rights; it’s the guarantor of rights we are born with. The origin of those rights come from the Declaration of Independence, a declaration that many died for.
“…We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness…”
Every person declaring to run for office should take a test on the Constitution before beginning the campaign and the result to be posted in the local newspaper. You would be amazed at how ignorant politicians are of your Constitution. At this very moment Congress is considering legislation to raise taxes to pay for the war. The Constitution already provides for it.
Article 1. Sec. 8 clause 12: “To raise and support armies, but not appropriation of money to that use shall be for a longer term than two years.”
This was used in World War 11 but the criminals never stopped collecting. Why? because people are ignorant of the Constitution. This is what happens when government controls education. (10th plank communist manifesto)
Forcing citizens to buy insurance (legislation pending) some are raising the issue that it isn’t constitutional. For that matter, so is education. Nowhere in the Constitution will you find authority given to the criminals by the people to control education. The elite had to take control to keep people ignorant. Many years ago when I learned that the Federal Reserve was privately owned I mentioned it to friends in the banking industry and they were shocked and many refused to believe. That’s how far our ignorance goes. As long as we have our money system in private hands we will always have wars, depressions, recessions, and now on the verge of being communized. We MUST get the criminals in Congress out of office and demand that our Constitution be obeyed. Our country is being bled to death.
“Republics, one after another, have perished from a want of intelligence and virtue in the masses of the people…if we do not prepare children to become good citizens; if we do not develop their capacities, if we do not enrich their minds with knowledge, imbue their hearts with love of truth and duty, and a reverence for all things sacred and holy; then our Republic must go down to destruction, as others have gone before it; and mankind must sweep through another vast cycle of sin and suffering, before the dawn of a better era can arise upon the world.” (N.Y. Times – 1953)

Many articles I reprint are old articles, but nevertheless interesting.
There has been much written about the history of the withholding system, and its unconstitutionality as it is applied today. Since a few people have written letters to the editor of The Justice Times that included only part of the whole story or have drawn somewhat incorrect conclusions, I have decided to write. .
From 1913 (The year all three branches became criminal – this is when Washington turned over the monetary system to the International Bankers – unconstitutionally) until 1935 a person’s tax liability did not affect his pay check; you were paid the full amount of your salary by your employer and settled with the IRS during the following calendar year. The situation was simple because of this, and from the fact that since the tax rates were so low, only a tiny portion of the population had any tax liability.
The first step of the process by which the federal government placed itself between employees and their pay checks took place in 1934 when Congress passed the Social Security Act (FICA) which became effective in 1935. This was the first time government tampered with a person’s pay check before it was given to him. The next step took place in 1939 with the passage of the Public Salary Tax Act of 1939 (53 stat. 574 sec 4): “The United States hereby consents to the taxation of compensation, received after December 31, 1938, for personal service as an officer or employee of the United States…” This was a full-fledged, out in the open, direct tax on the source (wages) without apportionment tax. This was and is constitutional due to the fact that it applies only to government employees.
Whenever government decides legislation that may alter what’s written in the Constitution, like an Act or Statute, it has to pass mustard with the Constitution. Changing words in the Constitution itself can only be done via the 5th Article in the Constitution – the amendment process. The Constitution says there are only two ways to tax our wages. 1) Equally apportioned in the State and 2) In time of war. This applies to ALL citizens – including government employees. Not only that, but Judges are exempted from taxation as long as they are in office. It’s in the Constitution! You black-robed idiots! This is what was meant with the “promote the general welfare” in the Preamble. An honest monetary system so citizens could enjoy the fruits of their labor without being penalized for a fundamental right. The liberals have twisted the meaning to promote their favorite con job – spreading the wealth around – the harder you work the more non-producers get. This is the 2nd plank of the communist manifesto – “A progressive or graduated income tax.” Welcome to Democracy in the USA.
ARTICLE 111
SECTION 1. The judicial power of the United States shall be vested in the Supreme Court and in such inferior courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The judges, both of the Supreme and inferior courts, shall hold their offices during good behavior, and shall, at stated times, receive for their services a compensation which shall not be diminished during their continuance in office.
How brilliant our Founding Fathers. Anticipating corruption would always be around, this was their way of telling those that chose the legal profession and became judges not to worry about their pay as long as they conducted themselves properly, “during good behavior.” Isn’t it a shame that it takes a high-school dropout like me to remind them of something they swore to uphold? If you have friends who are judges point this out.
When you peruse the Constitution you’ll see laws that are not applicable today because we’ve been conned into believing that the Constitution may be changed by government as we go along. The laws are still there because NO ONE can change it, unless WE, the PEOPLE say so! Many in our society (especially judges) don’t know this important axiom and chances are the author of this article didn’t know or has forgotten.
In 1942, the “Victory Tax on Individuals” (56 stat 884) was passed by Congress. It was an additional income tax on individuals in addition to the tax on income that was already in effect since 1913. There was one difference, though. The government claimed that it needed the money right away in order to finance the war effort and so this income tax was collected at the source (on wages). This victory tax was constitutional because the Constitution allowed it.
56 stat 887 sec. 496: Tax Collected at Source. (a) Requirement of Withholding – There shall be withheld, collected, and paid upon all wages of every person, to the extent that such wages are included in gross income, a tax equal to…” Being this was a temporary war emergency act, the government was able to constitutionally levy a direct tax on the source without apportionment for a maximum of two years. Since it was admitted that this was an emergency measure, it contained specific provisions for its own repeal. 56 stat 892 sec. 496 “Expiration Date – The taxes imposed by this subchapter shall not apply with respect to any taxable year commencing after the date of cessation of hostilities in the present war.”
This worked so well in raising revenue that after a mere eight months Congress began collecting the 1913 income tax this way – taking the money before you ever got to see it. This was done by passage of the “Current Tax Payment Act of 1943. 57 stat 126 sec. 2: “Collection of Tax at Source on Wages. (a) In general – Chapter 9 of the IRS Code (relating to employment taxes) is amended by inserting at the end thereof the following new chapters: Subchapter D – Collection of Income Tax at Source on Wages; sec 1622 (a) Requirement of withholding – Every employer making payment of wages shall deduct and withhold upon such wages a tax equal to the greater of the following…”
The above withholding section of this act became section 1622a of the IRS Code of 1939 which in 1954 became section 3402a of the revised code – what we have today. This act was primary source of confusion (intentional) for the American public concerning the crucial difference between wages and income. In earlier articles the difference is explained.
In 1944 the Victory Tax was repealed by the Individual Income Tax Act of 1944: 58 stat 231 sec. 6) Repeal of Victory Tax. (a) In general – Subchapter D of Chapter 1 (relating to the victory tax) is repealed.” This act at page 247 also amended the rates of the income tax withholding effective for wages paid after 1/1/45. The rates were amended again by 59 stat 561 on 11/8/45…You must keep in mind that the “withholding requirement” is located in the IRS Code in Subtitle C – “Employment Taxes.” The withholding tax is not the same as the income tax; it is a separate entity. This was so stated by the Supreme Court in Central Illinois Publishing Company v. the United States 551 Ed. (2) 82. The whole IRS code is written in such a way to cause confusion.
After seeing the progression of this march toward socialism you can see that there are several specific areas of today’s withholding that should and can be challenged. The present withholding (employment tax) may be applied by the IRS to satisfy income tax liability but this does not negate the fact that the withholding tax itself is a direct tax on the source levied without apportionment. Just as the Victory Tax had to expire after no more than two years, so too did the withholding provisions of the Current Tax Payment Act of 1943. Just because Congress “forgot” to add an expiration clause to the withholding law, this does not alter the fact that this tax levy has been unconstitutional after 6/9/45. Note that since the Victory Tax has no direct relationship to the present withholding section of the IRS Code, its expiration has no bearing on today’s withholding.
The authorizing legislation for today’s withholding regulations is still on the books and in effect and will remain in effect until it is successfully challenged. The usefulness of the Victory Tax lies in the fact that it can be used as evidence in a court challenge since it shows what this type of tax is: an emergency measure that must have a limited span.
The other constitutional problems with the withholding system arise because of the situation that this system creates for employees. The government requires all employers to request that all employees submit a W-4 form. This W-4 form must be signed under penalties of perjury by the employee. In so doing, the employee waives his Fifth Amendment rights. If the employee does not submit a signed W-4, he has a portion of his property (wages) taken from him without due process of law, this eliminating rights are protected by the Fourth Amendment. Since all employers are directed to place all employees in this position, the situation for an employee is inescapable and there is no way to preserve all the constitutionally guaranteed rights of the individual.
The government has therefore forced employees to lose some of their constitutional rights; the employee’s only choice is deciding which rights he wishes to surrender first. This loss of rights due to withholding applies only to employees and not to those people who are classified as independent contractors and so the withholding provisions also violate the equal protection clause of the Constitution’s Fourteenth Amendment.
We have never lost our rights. They are still in the Constitution. We are denied the rights by the criminals in government – especially by the federal courts in order to protect the system set up for the money lenders by the criminals in the two-party system.
At the present time there is a group legal action in progress whose purpose is to: (a) force a judicial determination that wages do not constitute “income” as that word is used in the 16th Amendment; (b) retrieve by a debt action all of the wages erroneously paid by plaintiffs toward the “income “ tax for the previous ten years; and (c) challenge the withholding system due to the above reasons. Any person in any state that is interested in joining this suit may directly contact the law firm that we have retained….end of article
* * * * *
It’s not necessary to include the name of the law firm. The fact is that nothing came about. We are economic slaves and I don’t see how these chains can be broken other than to keep informing people of this monumental crime against our property (money).
There have been many “Tax Rebel” victories in the past but the controlled media never, ever, publicizes any of them. Many were destroyed by committing suicide, and even killed in confrontations with government agencies.
Many were incarcerated for writing such articles as this one. Literally tens of hundreds were denied justice by the courts – Why? Because judges protect the rotten system that’s been foisted upon the American People. Why do they? Because they also pay taxes and if they don’t toe the line they will be destroyed. They don’t think otherwise, after-all, this is the system they grew up in – you learn the “establishment way.” Criminals in government use the 4th plank of the communist manifesto to go after the ones who buck the system. When it comes to contesting illegal taxation in the courts your constitutional rights are 86th.
The Supreme Court has defined “Income” as profit and gain. It has nothing to do with wages. The 16th Amendment is not suppose to be a DIRECT TAX! It is still an excise tax but the way the amendment is worded is deceiving – intentionally. The IRS was created to extract taxes from hard working citizens to pay the interest for the money borrowed from the bankers. The IRS is the lifeblood of socialism and the machine that makes the International Bankers agenda a reality. We are economic slaves.
Our government is a criminal government and elected representatives through the years are solely responsible – all 535 – add all Presidents and nine Supreme Court Justices. How can we survive as free people without law and order? We’re experiencing a lawless government, uncontrollable, and unaccountable.
The present administration violates the Constitution everyday. The Congress is complicit; the networks and leading newspapers have become the enemy of the truth. Thank God for talk shows and the Internet. People are beginning to pay attention. We must be on guard for any deviousness by the communists in Washington which could lead to executive orders that would enslave us further. They will not give up power without a fight – even if it means shit-canning our rights and liberties forever. Go ahead and laugh and say no way. The American Dream is no more. It has become The American Nightmare.
The America we grew up with (a nation of laws) was destroyed many years ago. Since then, evil forces have been working towards usurping our Constitution and they’ve done a good job. 90% of our people have never read the Constitution and 25% are illiterate. No wonder politicians in Washington enrich themselves unimpeded. Who or what will stop them – the 90% and 25%? The 10% that are aware of what’s in the Constitution and the 75% that are literate could be the answer.
What is the solution? We must convey the message that law and order as mandated by the Constitution is the best weapon. We may have people in the White House that condone unconstitutional policies but we also have Grand Juries to bring indictments for wrong doing. Unfortunately, this has also been corrupted by the mattoids in government (mentally ill people) So, how about telling your representatives from here on out any legislation repugnant to the Constitution YOU SHALL NOT VOTE FOR! You tell him or her NO MORE MILLIONS IN PORK FOR WORTHLESS PROJECTS! Senator Harry Reid from Nevada inserted a $300 million gift to the State of Louisiana in the health legislation to win the vote of that State’s U.S. Senator. Folks, this is bribery at its highest level. The Senate Majority Leader and the Senator of Louisiana are criminals. Don’t you care? It’s money that belongs to us and not of the despicable Senator from Nevada.
President Pinocchio bows to all his communists/socialists friends in the world because, I will predict, he wants to become the Secretary General of the United Nations. So what if I’m wrong…I wasn’t wrong back in the campaign when I wrote how bad of a person he is.
If President Pinocchio was a white he would be impeached for the way he is governing but because he is a black citizen political correctness allows him a license to govern as he pleases and damn the Constitution…and the country trembles…while the criminals in Congress (Democrats) allow this to continue. I worry for my country.

“I AM SORRY I HAVE ONLY ONE BAT TO SWING FOR MY COUNTRY!”
Italics are mine – Frank Trejo – Yesterday’s News Today
The following article appeared in the Wall Street Journal “What President Clinton Didn’t Do” by Richard Miniter. (Sept. 27 2006) A fellow at the Hudson Institute – author of “Disinformation: 22 Media Myths that Undermine the War on Terror” (Regnery, 2005)
What President Clinton Didn’t Do…
Bill Clinton’s outburst on Fox News was something of a public service, launching a debate about the anti-terror policies of his administration. This is important because every George W. Bush policy that arouses the ire of Democrats – the Patriot Act, extraordinary rendition, detention without trial, pre-emptive war – is a departure from his predecessor. Where policies overlap – air attacks on infrastructure, secret presidential orders to kill terrorists, intelligence sharing with allies, freezing bank accounts, using police to arrest terror suspects – there is little friction. The question, then, is whether America should return to Mr. Clinton’s policies or soldier on with Mr. Bush’s.
It is vital that this debate be honest, but so far this has not been the case. Both Mr. Clinton’s outrage at Chris Wallace’s questioning and the ABC docudrama “The Path to 9/11” are attempts to polarize the nation’s memory. While this divisiveness may be good for Mr. Clinton’s reputation, it is ultimately unhealthy for the country. What we need, instead, is a cold-eyed look at what works against terrorists and what does not. The policies of the Clinton and Bush administrations ought to be put to the same iron test.
With that in mind, let us examine Mr. Clinton’s war on terror. Some 38 days after he was sworn in, al Qaeda attacked the World Trade Center. He did not visit the twin towers that year, even though four days after the attack he was just across the Hudson River in New Jersey, talking about job training. He made no attempt to rally the public against terrorism. His only public speech on the bombing was a few paragraphs inserted into a radio address mostly devoted to an economic stimulus package. Those stray paragraphs were limited to reassuring the public and thanking the rescuers, the kinds of things governors say after hurricanes. He did not even vow to bring the bombers to justice. Instead, he turned the first terrorist attack on American soil over to the FBI.
In his Fox interview, Mr. Clinton said “no one knew that al Qaeda existed” in October 1993, during the tragic events in Somalia. But his national security adviser, Tony Lake, told me that he first learned of bin Laden “sometime in 1993,” when he was thought of as a terror financier. U.S. Army Capt. James Francis Yacone, a black hawk squadron commander in Somalia, later testified that radio intercepts of enemy mortar crews firing at Americans were in Arabic, not Somalia, suggesting the work of bin Laden’s agents (who spoke Arabic), not warload Farah Aideed’s men (who did not). CIA and DIA reports also placed al Qaeda operatives in Somalia at the time.
By the end of Mr. Clinton’s first year, al Qaeda had apparently attacked twice. The attacks would continue for every one of the Clinton years.
1. In 1994, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (who would later plan the 9-11 attacks) launched “Operation Bojinka” to down 11 U.S. planes simultaneously over the Pacific. A sharp-eyed Filipina police officer foiled the plot. The sole American response: increased law-enforcement cooperation with the Philippines. Where’s Billy?
This camel jockey murderer is being given all Constitutional rights in the first such case in military history in time of war. IT IS A DAMN WAR AS LONG AS OUR PEOPLE ARE GETTING KILLED ON FOREIGN SOIL! President Pinocchio (Obama) as well as Clinton, are demagogues that use their well-worn tongues to mesmerize the masses that are led, like the ignorant that they are. Imagine, giving this filth our Constitutional protection – you assholes in Washington. This administration is one of incompetence and is placing our country’s security in peril. For this, our young are being sacrificed by socialists and communists in and around the White House and the Congress? If President Bush had been allowed to get rid of this murderer we wouldn’t be experiencing this. Obama is experiencing the same thing in the attempt to shut down Guantanamo. This is what happens in a Democracy (mob rule) the worst form of government.
2. In 1995, al Qaeda detonated a 220-pound car bomb outside the Office of Program Manager in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, killing five Americans and wounding 60 more. The FBI was sent in. Where’s Billy?
3. In 1996, al Qaeda bombed the barracks of American pilots patrolling the “no-fly zones” over Iraq, killing 19. Again, the FBI responded. Where’s Billy?
4. In 1997, al Qaeda consolidated its position in Afghanistan and bin Laden repeatedly declared war on the U.S. In February, bin Laden told an Arab TV network: “If someone can kill an American soldier, it is better than wasting time on other matters.” No response from the Clinton administration. Where’s Billy?
5. In 1998, al Qaeda simultaneously bombed U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, killing224, including 12 U.S diplomats. Mr. Clinton ordered cruise-missile strikes on Afghanistan and Sudan in response. Here Mr. Clinton’s critics are wrong: The president was right to retaliate when America was attacked, irrespective of the Monica Lewinsky case. Monica must’ve been on her monthly
…And When He Didn’t Do It.
Still, “Operation Infinite Reach” was weakened by Clintonian compromise. The State Department feared that Pakistan might spot the American missiles in its airspace and misinterpret it as an Indian attack. So Mr. Clinton told Gen. Joe Ralston, vice chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff, to notify Pakistan’s army minutes before the Tomahawks passed over Pakistan. Given Pakistan’s links to jihadis at the time, it is not surprising that bin Laden was tipped off, fleeing some 45 minutes before the missiles arrived.
6. In 1999, the Clinton administration disrupted al Qaeda’s Millennium plots, a series of bombings stretching from Amman to Los Angeles. This shinning success was mostly the work of Richard Clarke, (Clinton too busy with skirts) a NSC senior director who forced agencies to work together. But the Millennium approach was shortlived. Over Mr. Clarke’s objections, policy reverted to the status quo.
7. In January 2000, al Qaeda tried and failed to attack the U.S.S. The Sullivans off Yemen. (Their boat sank before they could reach their target.) But in October 2000, an al Qaeda bomb ripped a hole in the hull of the U.S.S. Cole, killing 17 sailors and wounding another 39. (Attorney General Holder was a Deputy Attorney General, then)
Billions are spent for defense, arms merchants become billionaires, billions are lost to fraud, our servicemen and women at war lack basic necessities, and we can’t defend ourselves against radicals that fire missiles from the backs of donkeys and carry out destruction in boats that sink against billion-dollar warships? We’ve had, and still have, criminals running our government. Some elected in Congress have investments in companies doing business in the Middle East – war business.
When Mr. Clarke presented a plan to launch a massive cruise missile strike on al Qaeda and Taliban facilities in Afghanistan, the Clinton cabinet (liberals) voted against it. After the meeting, a State Department counterterrorism official, Michael Sheehan, sought out Mr. Clarke. Both told me that they were stunned. Mr. Sheehan asked Mr. Clarke: ‘What’s it going to take to get them to hit al Qaeda in Afghanistan? Does al Qaeda have to attack the pentagon?” …based upon the do-nothing commander-in-chief we’ll never know what course he would have taken should he had been president during 9-11. It took a decisive Republican to do the right thing.
There is much more to Mr. Clinton’s record – how Predator drones, which spotted bin Laden three times in 1999 and 2000, were grounded by bureaucratic infighting, how a petty dispute with an Arizona senator stopped the CIA from hiring more Arabic translators. While it is easy to look back in hindsight (why not? I do it constantly) and blame Bill Clinton, the full scale and nature of the terrorist threat was not widely appreciated until 9/11. Still: Bill Clinton did not fully grasp that he was at war. Not did he intuit that war requires overcoming bureaucratic objections and a democracy’s natural reluctance to use force. That is a hard lesson. But it is better to learn it from studying the Clinton years than reliving them….end of article.
How important a Constitutional Republic had been. No individual in government should have the power to act on his own – as being demonstrated by President Pinocchio. We had the three branches of government to keep each other in check. If and when the Executive Branch strayed from its responsibility the Legislative Branch would rein in the President by denying funds. Likewise, if the Legislative Branch got out of hand the Executive would veto. If either or both of these branches strayed, the third branch, the Judicial Branch would rule them out of order, (unconstitutional) all that is gone now. Oh, once in a while, we have things that arise and the Constitution is quoted but it’s usually something of insignificance – like whether pork-spending to study the sex life of cucarachas is constitutional or not.
We don’t have anywhere to turn for help. The White House has a man as Attorney General who doesn’t belong there. Consequently, many constitutional violations are occurring and not being addressed. We have a president who taught constitutional law and violates it every day. He has appointed people in positions of power (czars) above constitutionally created positions. The attempt to force people to buy things they don’t want – like health insurance – that is unconstitutional and criminal. Buying votes (our money) by Senator Reid for pending health legislation – it is bribery, which is a crime. The Supreme Court is too busy destroying our 4th and 5th Amendment rights little by little and does nothing because “it’s political.” “Throw the bums out!” “Vote him out of office!” “We need third parties!” All these are worn-out slogans that never work. There must be an answer.
WE ARE THE ANSWER! There is a wealth of experience in our country starting with third party personnel; tea-party supporters; literally hundreds of like-minded organizations, conservative talk-radio, millions of veterans…and the list goes on. How do we get them under one roof? Isn’t there one of us, or several, who can think of a rallying cry to unite people that still believe in law and order – unite for the purpose of throwing off the shackles that are beginning to tighten more and more leading us into economic bondage forever?
Where are the decent and honest Democrats and Republicanss? What about the so-called citizens that run the State parties? How is it possible to devote most all your awaken time, away from family, doing favors for the elected – why? For what? To get patted on the back and get complimented by criminals? Can’t you understand you’re being used? Look in the mirror and see the real problem – us!
We have to work within the system. Of the two dominant parties, the GOP would be the easiest to change from the ground up. The Democratic Party is too far gone to the left. Joining the GOP would be a beginning, a better one which beats walking the streets with banners. That works, but getting physically involved in the party is more productive. Then we would throw out the nerds and ass-kissers that call themselves Republicans. We not only have a military war but we also have a war here at home against those who hate America, family, religion, the rule of law…this is what democracy represents…the worst form of government.
The following statements are from the U.S. Army;
1. Democracy, simply stated, is a form of society wherein government rests with the majority of people. There is no better definition for it then that expressed by Lincoln – “A government of the people, by the people, and for the people.” It would be wrong and useless to deny that the implications and full development of Democracy have never been reached in our country. However, it is our job to see that the issues of the War are so personalized in the mind of each soldier that he is fully conscious of his own stake in the world for which we are fighting.
How shallow the words have become…”of the people…by the people…for the people.”
This is what “democracy” becomes.
2. Democracy: A government of the masses. Authority derived through mass meeting or any other form of direct expression. Results in mobocracy. Attitude toward property is communistic …negating property rights. Attitude toward law is that the will of the majority shall regulate, whether it is based upon deliberation or governed by passion, prejudice, and impulse, without restraint or regard to consequences. Result is demagogism, license, agitation, discontent, anarchy.
mobocracy - Political control by a mob. There have been many bad administrations in the past. The GOP favoring the rich – according to the communists. The Demos in chaos most of the time because of radical organizations – attempting to placate all of them. This is why the present administration is having so many problems deciding whether to support the troops – because of the anti-war crowd. Throw in the Pro-abortion crowd. Anti-oil-drilling crowd. Gay-Lesbian crowd. Black and Latino radical organizations. Pro-amnesty crowd which includes the church and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The list just goes on and on. Now you understand why the Democratic Party is forever in chaos. They attempt to cater to all those factions EXCEPT what’s good for America. And now we have an administration that belongs in an outhouse. A straightened out GOP is the answer.

“I REGRET I ONLY HAVE ONE BAT TO SWING FOR MY COUNTRY!”
by Frank Trejo
All italics are mine, the rest are from the book “The Miracle on Main Street” by F. Tupper Saussy.
“A disordered currency is one of the greatest political evils. It undermines the virtues necessary for the support of the social system, and encourages propensities destructive to its happiness. It wars against industry, frugality, and economy, and it fosters the evil spirits of extravagance and speculation. Of all the contrivances for cleaning the laboring classes of mankind, none has been more effectual than that which deludes them with paper money. This is the most effectual of inventions to fertilize the rich man’s field by the sweat of the poor man’s brow.
Ordinary tyranny, oppression, excessive taxation, these bear lightly on the happiness of the mass of the community, compared with fraudulent currencies and the robberies committed by depreciated paper. Our own history has recorded for our instruction enough, and more than enough, of the demoralizing tendency, the injustice, and the intolerable oppression on the virtuous and well disposed, of a degraded paper currency, authorized by law, or any way countenanced by government.”
Through the years citizens have been alerting the country to the evils of paper currency. Daniel Webster, author of the above quotation, understood very well the problems caused by currency not backed by the metals. Congressman Ron Paul is another that has spent most all his political career alerting people of the dangers of having our monetary system in private hands – albeit – unconstitutional. Eventually, this leads to debasing the currency which leads to super inflation experienced by others in history.
Spending by criminals in Congress and policies promoted by White House Administrations through the years has increased the federal debt by the trillions. We have reached a point in our history that has no solution other than to experience hardships and chaos to our way of life. Unless, of course, we rid ourselves of the International Bankers who are the economic masters. Policies being considered by Congress will cost trillions more and before things become right we will go through rough times. Super inflation is on its way and when the dust settles we are not going to be the America we cherished for so long.
After the depression of the ‘20s, some say that the markets didn’t really recover until the early ‘50s. Observe how the administration keeps reminding people that it’ll be a while before there is a recovery. The controlled press keeps painting a pretty picture how well things are beginning to look – which are lies. What Congress and the White House are doing will create conditions in our country seen only in the ‘20s. Never mind the few recessions we’ve had since the depression, the difference being that we didn’t have trillion dollar deficits and budgets that will raise taxes never seen before.
Couple that with Marxists and Communists in control of government. Its policies will destroy the job market; inflation will cost goods and services to rise through the roof; people will lose more of the freedom and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution no one seems to know much about. Should this occur we will have chaos in the streets and on private property. The best thing for you to do is arm yourselves. Already, crime is beginning to be reported more often. It almost seems as if this is being done intentionally. There are many amongst us who hate our country and want it destroyed.
The following are excerpts of one of the most important books ever written about our monetary system. When I first read it (it has the Constitution in it) I was moved, so much that my life as an ignorant citizen changed for the better. I often scratched my head wondering what the hell was going on in our country. By informing myself, by reading the book, I learned exactly what is wrong. Not an expert but I don’t scratch my head any longer. I understand criminals in Congress and how the two-party system is really what is destroying our country. They operate our government outside the Constitution with no accountability to the people.
It took a little more than four months to write the U.S. Constitution, and almost a year for the states to ratify it. Then another year for the government to be set up. The most immediate relief brought about by the Constitution was economic. The cause of this economic relief was Article 1 Section 10, which prohibited the states from enforcing payment in anything but gold and silver coin. If people wanted to, they could make deals using for exchange cattle, paper money, real estate, tobacco, chickens, peanuts – anything they could agree on. But when it came to the state’s participation in anyone’s economic life, such as enforcing fines, taxes, judgment, etc., the terms were spelled out quite clearly and absolutely in Article 1 Section 10. Nothing but gold and silver coin. NO THING.
No historian can show you a tyranny founded on a free-flowing money base of gold and silver coin, because tyranny and economic freedom are opposites. Conversely, every tyranny in history has resulted from the debasement (de-base = removing the basic value) of the people’s gold and silver money.
With a sense of forgiveness, I must mention here that the actual legislators of money debasement, in ours and other countries, are typically persons operating in good faith who simply don’t know what they are doing. We allow them to debase our money because we don’t know what we’re doing. Remember, inflation is like pain: it can’t be known until it’s experienced. This is why deadly inflations are almost always spaced with a couple of generations in between.
I have to differ here. I don’t think there’s one politician that hasn’t been told this by citizens like me. Through the years well-meaning representatives have attempted legislation to correct this but because bankers have such a stranglehold on the two parties nothing ever happens. Many staff members in banking committees come from the banking industry. Through the years people in the Treasury, Federal Reserve…etc., come from Goldman Sachs – one of the owners of the Federal Reserve. “They” have developed a criminal system – outside the Constitution – that may never be dismantled. That is, of course, IF you have the wherewithal to demand change just as the tea-party people are doing. Watch how quick the criminals would react. Unknown would be, what would the economic masters do? Get the criminals to declare martial law? They will not allow any disruption of the scam that returns billions to them every year.
All the horrors of the managed paper economy were snuffed out in 1798 by Article 1 Section 10, right before George Washington’s astonished eyes. (During his time inflation was a big problem) It put non-workers to work and gave them value, infused them with “a spirit of enterprise.” Painlessly, miraculously, it restored sanity and purpose to a badly shaken population. The wonderful thing about gold and silver is that it lets you know precisely what your worth is. It enables you to plan ahead, to feel proud of yourself and your work. Bad neurotic habits just break themselves when you know how valuable you are.
Gold and silver stops politicians from creating floods of money (paper) to spend on programs (perks) that encourage non- and vacuum-work, (Dept. of Energy – Dept. of Education – thousands of projects of non-essentials other than to spend for votes and deliver billions in waste for the bankers to earn interest on the borrowing) it stops banks from creating loans out of thin air to underwrite dumb projects, here I am in the middle of a sales pitch. Why should I be selling you on gold and silver coin? Why should I ask anyone to please let’s start using gold and silver coin for money? Begging people to return to a gold and silver monetary base in the United States is as stupid as begging Congress to give women the right to vote. Women already have the right to vote, and WE ALREADY HAVE A GOLD AND SILVER MONETARY BASE IN THE UNITED STATES! Judge Roger Sherman, God bless his soul, saw to that on August 28, 1787, in a law that has never been repealed, rescinded, or amended in any way whatsoever!
NO STATE SHALL MAKE ANY THING BUT GOLD AND SILVER COIN A TENDER IN PAYMENT OF DEBTS. (Article 1 Section 10)
If we already have a gold and silver monetary base, why then do we not have gold and silver coinage in circulation? What has happened to the law? Are we being governed by a bunch of criminals? (Bingo!)
“Those who create and issue money and credit direct the policies of government and hold in the hollow of their hands the destiny of the people.” (Reginald McKenna – retired banker)
“In the United States today we have in effect two governments…We have the duly constituted Government… Then we have an independent, uncontrolled and uncoordinated government in the Federal Reserve System, operating the money powers which are reserved to the Congress by the Constitution.” (Congressman Patman, Chairman, House Banking Committee)
It’s a matter of history that in 1913, the Friends of Paper Money gained a stronghold on the American economic system through the Federal Reserve Act. In the passage of the Act, a small group of world bankers with a long and carefully-guarded, very private history of manipulating the affairs of rulers “got into the Legislature,” just as Roger Sherman feared they would, and obtained “licence” to print money.
I keep reminding people that no Act or Statute can change any thing written in the Constitution. It has to be in harmony with what the Constitution reads. An example: Civil rights and voter registration laws were in harmony with citizen rights guaranteed by the Constitution but the States were denying them. Whereas, your Constitution declares that only Congress can coin money and regulate the value of it (Art. 1 Sec 8 cl. 5) The Federal Reserve Act, was and still is, unconstitutional. No one may change or alter the Constitution without the permission of the people. Our Founding Fathers were brilliant – they gave us the amendment process – Article 5 U.S. Constitution – to do the changing ourselves. This is why when you peruse the Constitution the laws ignored today are still there – they can’t be removed without your permission. There, now you know something millions don’t.
There’s nothing in the Constitution to prevent Congress from contracting with a private corporation for the management of a popular currency. The Federal Reserve, a private corporation? Yes. Super-private. Its voting stockholders are kept in secret; they’re known to no one, not even the President of the United States. The Federal Reserve System is not part of the U.S. Government, and has never been audited by the General Accounting Office or any government agency (How’s that for power) Of course, it seems to be an official department, with the President appointing some directors and such, but the Federal Reserve is completely autonomous.
Asked “Do you approve of the latest credit-tightening moves?” Treasury Secretary David M. Kennedy answered in U.S News & World Report May 5, 1969, “ It’s not my job to approve or disapprove. It is the action of the Federal Reserve.”
When Reagan was running for a second term he was asked by a news reporter if he was going to fire then Paul Volcher as Federal Reserve Chairman. Reagan responded “Well, you know they are autonomous. That’s all I can say.” Presidents are murdered if they attempt to disrupt the illegal system.
This may surprise you, but Congress has never declared Federal Reserve notes to be a legal tender in payment of debts. Doubt me? Look at your currency: “…LEGAL TENDER FOR ALL DEBTS PUBLIC AND PRIVATE.”
The word “FOR” is used rather than “IN PAYMENT OF.” Was this just accidental? No. It is well-settled in the courts that lawmakers are presumed to have selected each word that makes up a statute carefully and deliberately, lest the statute be considered void for vagueness. We can be sure, then, that when Congress chose not to use “IN PAYMENT OF,” it did so for a good reason, that good reason being the hard fact that no debt can be paid in full in the eyes of American jurisprudence unless paid in gold or silver coin and regulated in value by Congress, courtesy of Article 1 Sections 8 and 10.
About all a Federal Reserve note can legally do is wipe out one debt and replace it with itself, another debt, a note that promises nothing. If anything’s been paid, the payment occurs only in the minds of the parties – in the ideasphere – not the real world.
The notes that circulate as money are really IOU notes. Every note in circulation is a receipt for the monies borrowed from the bankers. That is what we pay interest on. Whereas, when U.S. Notes (real money) are in circulation we don’t pay anybody interest. That’s what Lincoln and JFK authorized. The controlled press reported all kinds of reasons why and who did it, but many believe, as I do, that it was the criminal system that got rid of them.
“All the perplexities, confusion and distress in America arise not from defects in their constitution or confederation, not from a want of honor or virtue so much as from downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit, and circulation.” John Adams to Thomas Jefferson – 1787
It’s best that I stop here, if not, I’ll have the whole book –THE MIRACLE ON MAIN STREET – by F. Tupper Saussy copied. Tupper was harassed to no end by the feds. He also wrote a play making fun of the IRS and his life was made miserable.
To obtain the book – it’s a must – Google the title and the name of F. Tupper Saussy. I believe it can be traced by Amazon. The publisher is Spencer Judd, Publishers – Sewanee Tennessee, 37375

“I AM SORRY I HAVE ONLY ONE BAT TO SWING FOR MY COUNTRY!”
(By Claire Kelley – The Justice Times columnist – 1988)
Italics are mine – Frank Trejo – Yesterday’s News Today
“It is axiomatic that the prosecution must always prove territorial jurisdiction over a crime in order to sustain a conviction therefore.” U.S. v. Benson 495 F. 2d 481 (1974).
The above legal mandate, applies to all federal prosecutions but let’s examine more specifically its relation to taxation. I cannot recall any criminal tax prosecution where the territorial jurisdiction of the federal government has been challenged.
Title 18 of the U.S. criminal code says that “the district courts of the United States shall have original jurisdiction, exclusive of the courts of the States, of all offenses against the laws of the United States” (Sec. 3231). But the laws of the United States do not apply to every square inch of the country known as the “United States.” Federal jurisdiction is explicitly set forth in Article. Sec. 8, cl. 17 of the U.S. Constitution and is very limited. It grants that “The Congress shall Power…To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such district (not exceeding ten miles) as may be, 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, dock-yards, and other needful Buildings.”
These are the places over which the federal districts courts have original jurisdiction of all crimes committed thereon. In criminal prosecutions, where the federal government is the moving party, it must not only establish ownership of the property upon which said crime was committed, but they must also produce documentation that the State has ceded that property to them, thereby waving all State jurisdiction over said property. The U.S. Supreme Court has addressed this issue and has held that “Where lands are acquired without such consent, the possession of the United States, unless political jurisdiction be ceded to them in some other way, is simply that of an ordinary proprietor.” Fort Leavenworth KY. Co. v. Lowe, 114 U.S. 525 (1885)
The federal government can buy land in a state, but unless that state approves the sale or signs a document ceding that property to them, there is no federal jurisdiction on the property. Any crime committed on owned by, but not ceded to, the federal government would have to be tried in a state court. This applies to common law crimes as theft, murder and the like, because the federal crimes contained in Title 18 can only apply to places within federal jurisdiction, which includes Washington D.C., U.S. Territories and possessions and all federally-owned property ceded by the states to the federal government – and nothing else.
“Without proof of the requisite ownership or possession of the United States, the crime has not been made out.” U.S. Watson, 80 F. Supp. 649 (1948). Federal criminal charges against Watson were dismissed. In Pendleton v. State, 734 P. 2d 693 (1987 Nev.), the State court was held to have jurisdiction over a drunk driving case committed on federal land because the federal government failed to establish their territorial jurisdiction over the land.
One of the most important cases on the subject was U.S. v. Bevans, 16 U.S. (3 Wheat.) 336 (1818), which established the principle that only where the federal government had the power of “exclusive legislation” did it have jurisdiction. The exclusive jurisdiction principle is not addressed to subject matter, but to geographical location. The power to prosecute federal crimes is confined to those crimes committed within federal jurisdiction.
In 1819, the New York Supreme Court quoted U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall, saying, “Chief Justice John Marshall observed, that to bring these offenses within the jurisdiction of the courts of the union, it mush have been committed out of the jurisdiction of any state; it is not (he says) the offence committed, but the place in which it is committed, which must be out of the jurisdiction of the state.” People v. Godfrey 17 Johns. 225, at 233.
It is also important to know that the U.S. Supreme Court has held that such a jurisdictional challenge could be raised in a Petition for Habeas Corpus, (Bowen v. Johnston, 306 U.S. 19 1939). Federal criminal law can only apply within federal jurisdiction. Even if the 16th Amendment wasn’t fraudulent, the excise tax it purports to establish would only be collectable from persons living within federal jurisdiction i.e. Washington D.C., Territories and possessions, and state ceded land.
It is quite clear from a study of our early history that the Founding Fathers of this nation intended the national government to be run with monies collected from duties, imposts and excises within the federal jurisdiction, and that any further revenues were needed, then the Congress was to go to the states with an apportioned, direct tax. That is our constitutional system of taxation, notwithstanding the fraudulent 16th Amendment.
Such a system is guaranteed to keep the federal government from getting too big. Because money is power, and the less money the government has, the less power they have. Each of the United States was – and is today – a separate and sovereign state. This sovereignty extends over all property and persons within the borders of each state, except over land ceded to the federal government and those persons living in it, both of which are subject to federal jurisdiction.
Not only does this throw grave doubts as to the levies on wages and salaries for income taxes claimed by the federal government from people who are not under federal jurisdiction and to whom the tax legislation cannot possibly apply, but it throws serious doubt on the seizures of people’s homes and business property for alleged back taxes.
The seizing of private property by government is done by using the 4th plank of the communist manifesto that I write so much about. Your 5th Amendment right under the U.S. Constitution doesn’t apply – thanks to the three branches of government that protect the criminal system that benefits the International Bankers who own the Federal Reserve – a classic example of how little they think of your Constitution. House Speaker Pelosi was asked the other day a question about the Constitution and answered “Are you kidding” implying something like “You gotta be kidding – you still believe in that garbage” (the Constitution) How this person attained such a high position in OUR government doesn’t say much for citizens who vote for democrats…mental midgets.
Incidentally, this piece of garbage (Pelosi) uses one of YOUR AIRCRAFT that seats 200 people to go home (California) every weekend at a cost of $120,000 each trip. And I go to Las Vegas on a Greyhound Bus.
In a case where someone tried to will a parcel of land to the United States, The U.S. Supreme Court held such a transfer of real property invalid. In their ruling, they had some pertinent things to say about real property and federal jurisdiction.
“It is an established principle of law, everywhere recognized, arising from the necessity of the case, that the disposition of immovable property, whether by deed, descent, or any other mode, is exclusively subject to the government in whose jurisdiction the property is situated…The power of the state in this respect follows from the sovereignty within her limits, as to all matters over which jurisdiction has not been expressly, or by necessary implication, transferred to the Federal Government.” U.S. v. Fox, 94 U.S. 315, at 320-21 (1887)
It appears to me that the federal government cannot not seize real estate with the jurisdiction of the state for alleged taxes, or for any other reason, even if the taxes were owed, but federal taxes cannot be owed by persons not within federal jurisdiction. People outside of federal jurisdiction are beyond the legislation of Congress and are subject only to the legislation of the states. This is the limited government established under the Constitution, like it or not…end of article.
I sent this article to all the Arizona State Representatives as an educational tool. Of course, none of them responded. Most think that people that write such material are out of sync with the rest. The communist in our system, have brainwashed many people to believe that WE are the ones who are loony tunes when in reality it is the elected who support the illegal system foisted upon us by the elite. But what else are they to believe when this fraudulent system is all they’ve known.
The question I posed was – who in the hell gave government the authority to alter our constitutional system without us participating? When – why – and by whom? Representatives of the people, do we have a Constitution or not? Some of us still believe in the oath you take to uphold the laws, and apparently, you are just as hypocrite as the ones before you.
On another note…the results of the election in district 23 in New York which the “Conservative “ lost – by not too much – happened because of the following: The person that had the position was a Republican. Democrats gave that person a high position with the Administration to get him out of town, knowing full well he would have been reelected. Pretty smart – huh? The opposite of that, the dummies in the GOP wasted money endorsing a liberal Republican who dropped out and endorsed the Democrat candidate. The great Newt Gingrich had endorsed her. This guy is NOT a Conservative. He’s too much of an insider like many in the GOP.
I believe the reason the “Conservative” lost was because people still have a bad taste in their mouth for conservatives, especially in the State of New York. If the Republican had run just as a Republican – he would have won. The two Republicans that won governorships ran as Republicans and not Conservatives. I would advise any politician running as a GOP candidate not to run as a conservative but as a Republican; but vote conservatively. The communist in the media and in the Democratic Party have poisoned that word. It’ll be a while before people forget – thanks to Bush and the assholes in the GOP.
You people in the GOP who are the workhorses for the dummies in Congress. I offer an excellent idea put forth by a caller to a talk show. Have the Republican nerds hold their health plan of a little over two hundred pages compared to the stack proposed by the Demos in front of the cameras (all the time, until it goes to the Senate for a vote) that in itself would win over many, many people. What a powerful mental picture to be created. Call your Republican representatives – tell them to use it – NOW!
“I AM SORRY I HAVE ONLY ONE BAT TO SWING FOR MY COUNTRY!”
(By Frank Trejo)
“The breath of Freedom is blowing through every main street in America.
It is resuscitating the profound meaning of liberty. Any thing liberalism does
Conservatism can do better.” (Frank Trejo)
The following article I wrote one year ago. Almost everything in it has come to pass. The way our government is being administered by criminals in the Executive and Legislative Branch is worth repeating. I knew a drastic “change” would occur but didn’t anticipate how blatant this administration has been conducting itself in transforming our almost forgotten constitutional mandated republic (on paper) into a socialistic/communistic system. The “change” Obama was promoting, and the swallowing of it by the ignorant, has become a danger to our liberties and freedom.
Many who voted for Democrats are beginning to confess their ignorance, and hopefully we’ll be able to halt the drive to communism – yes, communism. As long as the International Bankers are allowed to administer the monetary system in our country (unconstitutionally, I may add) we are, and will remain, economic slaves. This system is the same as the 2nd, 4th, 5th planks of the communist manifesto of which the rich invented to make money and to control.
Our Founding Fathers would’ve never given us such a system. A few articles back I wrote what constitutional laws describe how our monetary system is to be administered. Our Fathers knew that in the future someone would try to take control. This is the reason for the “…no State shall make any thing but gold and silver coin a tender in payment for debt…” after the first one “… only Congress can coin money and regulate the value thereof…”As long as States obeyed the one about coins our Fathers felt secure in the safety of our economic future. It wasn’t meant to be.
Who would have thought the elite would corrupt the WHOLE system. You think the Supreme Court, then, would have ruled the Federal Reserve Act unconstitutional? The GOP plank of the ’32 elections called for repealing of the Federal Reserve. Through the years some in Congress, as well as in the private sector have wanted to do something but the criminals in Congress and the media would stop it. Right now, Congressman Ron Paul, after most of his life attacking the Federal Reserve appears to be gaining support to audit the Fed. It’s never been done since it began in 1913. WHERE ARE THE GOVERNORS ON THIS ONE? – IGNORANT COWARDS!
The three planks of the communist manifesto are repugnant to the Constitution. Quite frankly, I accuse all three branches of government in violation of your Constitution and charge them with malfeasance of duty – all 545 – which includes the president and nine Supreme Court Justices. WHEN DID YOU, AS SOVEREIGN CITIZENS, GIVE PERMISSION TO ANYONE TO SUBVERT THE CONSTITUTION?
During the Viet-Cong and “Cold War” we were brainwashed into believing that we were fighting against communism to preserve our freedom and liberties. Our young were sacrificed for a lie. Meanwhile, here in our country the communists were hard at work taking over our institutions.
I said it once before and I’ll say again – the economic crisis foisted upon us I believe was intentional. How else do you explain the disaster by people that are supposed to be experts in money? Congress had been warned several times of the pending crisis and did nothing. Bank failures happen all the time – Why? Because we end up paying the bill, that’s why. And now it’s possible we are going to be denied the principles given to us at birth by the Declaration of Independence – the Preamble to the Constitution and the United States Constitution itself by the radicals in government should they be allowed to operate unconstitutionally. It’s not just the Obama’s Presidency – it’s all the ones before, too. Obama’s drive for power is the best thing that could have happened. People are beginning to get a taste of how communism works and the dangers it poses. People are beginning to pay attention.
The following I wrote one year ago:
PRESIDENTIAL RACE (Oct. 2008)
In previous writings I reported the rich (international bankers) invented communism. They make money by getting governments to become socialistic/communistic, because of never-ending spending to support government’s voracious appetite for borrowing to grow. Second, it is a means of controlling the masses. Third, they have been known to plant the seeds for war. Money is lent to both sides at war. The reason Congress doesn’t declare war is because it would become treason for global corporations to sell armaments to the enemies which they do in undeclared wars. And our young die for this greed? Shame on you citizens!
You know why you won’t even complain to your representatives? Because under Socialism this is how it affects you: No pride. No incentive. No respect. No responsibility (civic duty) No integrity, and finally, it destroys your individualism. Political Correctness plays a big part in silencing you – it is thought control – a tactic used by the communists within our country.
The overall agenda of the bankers is a one world-government with the United Nations being the seat of power. The Security Council is the most important entity of the United Nations and will always be headed by a communist, a deal pre-arranged between Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin at the onset of the United Nations. At about the same time the traitors on our side gave away half of Europe to communism (bankers agenda)
Earlier I had listed the ten planks of the Communist Manifesto to inform people of the similarities between the planks and what is supposed to be our Constitutional Republic. Our monetary system is being administered under the second, fourth, and fifth planks of the Manifesto. For those of you that didn’t know just type in the words Ten Planks of The Communist Manifesto in any search engine. Read them and discover how criminals in the three branches of government altered our way of life. So many military young have been sacrificed for our Bill of Rights and the criminals in Congress couldn’t care less.
All this had to be done to destroy the United States and to reduce it to a third-world status. It won’t be long before our liabilities reach a hundred trillion dollars. Start preparing for hard times. The economic chaos we’re experiencing happened several times in history. The media and government make it sound as if nobody knew what was happening. It’s all bull-shit. We have criminals in government, and the Federal Reserve who are responsible, coupled with a few in Wall St. A handful of those in Congress should be sent to prison. But because the culprits are in charge of the committees that have jurisdiction, no elected will be indicted.
And Republicans? The Bush family (Dad and Son) have destroyed the Conservative Party. It may take years to recover, if ever. Isn’t strange how McCain has conducted his campaign as if he wants to lose? Is it possible this hypocrite and compromiser is a patsy to the bankers’ agenda – unknowingly? He stands before the cameras with pen in hand and promises people he’ll veto all pork and turns around and votes in favor of the bailout with 150 billion in pork. He is no hero in my eyes, but he has sure milked his POW status.
Now I will share a theory of what’s happening with the current presidential race and why Obama could win the presidency.
In the beginning of the primaries John McCain was dead in the water. Not even a miracle could save him. Suddenly, the mouthpiece of the bankers (New York Times) endorsed McCain. It appears they wanted McCain to represent the GOP because he would be easier to defeat. No sooner had he won the GOP nomination and the Times turned against him. Now it was between Obama and Hillary on the other side.
They decided on Obama and turned against Hillary with vicious attacks. Why? Because Obama espouses the communist ideas the bankers desire, to finish their agenda of destroying our country. Even Hillary’s liberalism would have been better. Obama’s now famous line about “spreading the wealth” should be a wakeup call for many but the masses are too ignorant. We have been communized (our monetary system) and don’t even know it.
Colin Powell endorsed Obama not because he’s more experienced (which he isn’t) but because he is black. So, who’s the racist? This morning (Oct. 21) in the Wall Street Journal former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcher announced his endorsement of Obama. On the same page, present Fed Chairman Bernanke also announced his endorsement of Obama. Folks, these are the lap dogs of the powers at be. Those two along with most major newspapers, all major networks and their liberal pundits, throw in most colleges in our country that indoctrinate our young to hate America, add over 50 million that will vote for Obama and it seems we don’t have a chance to stop the total socialization/communization of our country. The biggest danger will be the radicals he’ll appoint to the Supreme Court.
Obama has always voted against your second amendment and against every legislation cutting taxes. ACORN, a voter registration run by radicals has been committing voter fraud favoring Democrats for many years. There is a pizzeria that offers a free pizza for every McCain/Palin sign. Cars with McCain/Palin bumper stickers are vandalized. We learned more of Joe the Plumber within 24 hours than we have of the protected Obama by the media for two years. Mobs are beginning to disrupt GOP political rallies. Main stream media slants the news and viciously attacks Governor Palin. Folks, socialists/communists can’t win without dirty deeds. We are in a culture war and we are losing it.
Should Obama win, and the House and Senate be controlled by the Democrats in Congress – especially if they get 60 votes in the Senate – kiss our Republic good-bye. Remember, socialism comes before communism and a socialist state we have been for many years. If compromiser McCain wins, we’ll have Sarah Palin to thank. She is the future star in politics.
Wall St. is running our country. Goldman Sachs is one of the owners of the Fed. They are ripping us by the billions and elected officials of both parties are responsible. As long as we do nothing our future is looking mighty bleak. Oh well, go back to watching the tube.
A CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC IS OUR ONLY SALVATION FROM COMMUNISM….end of article.
* * * * *
Upon writing this in Oct. of last year I didn’t anticipate how blatant Obama would be in his drive for power. Who would have thought he would nationalize some in the private sector. The appointing of communists to the White House and create positions (unconstitutionally) for Czars. The total disregard for the Constitution – and this guy was teaching our young in college constitutional law?
McCain had wanted Senator Lieberman for his VP – who, or what made him change his mind? Was he forced to take an unknown as Governor Palin to assure a defeat? The fun made of Palin about inexperience and nothing about the street thug (Bill Clinton’s remark) from Chicago? This guy will prove to be the most incompetent of all presidents.
Because of the corruption in Congress, we are ripped off by the billions every year. It’s being reported that Medicaid is losing around $60 billion per year to fraud. Billions in the “Stimulus Bill” are unaccounted for. Fed Chair Bernanke was asked at a congressional hearing what happened to the money and responded, “I don’t know.” Imagine, the chairman of the Federal Reserve.
Health and Energy Bills being considered, if passed, are going to destroy our country and create financial hardships – all because we allow criminals in Congress to operate OUR GOVERNMENT with no accountability. The majority of people don’t want these bills passed. Regardless, Democrats are going ahead with it. There is a remote possibility it may be stopped. If the Democrats succeed, they will suffer the same kind of losses as in 1994. If it happens, I’ll tell you one thing – the Republicans who are referred to as “Rhinos” (Republicans in name only) will not be allowed to stay in office long. Conservatism is making a comeback (thanks to Obama) and will succeed in getting rid of the hypocrites in the Party. The hypocrite Republicans are the ones that gave conservatism a bad name. They allowed Bush (He wasn’t a “compassionate conservative” – the media used that to poison conservatism) to liberalize his eight years in office. He could have stopped the pending financial crisis but he, along with the rest, didn’t give a damn about the people. It is all a show!
Hopefully it’s not too late to save our country. The elections of 2010 will be the defining moment. Either we demand adherence to our Constitution or face strife and turmoil in the future. Don’t think for one moment the communists in our country will allow their power curtailed. They will commit any type of crime against us to remain in control. Paranoia? The Democrats in Congress and the White House are spitting on your Constitution – Who will stop them?
The following two quotes were taken from a U.S. Army manual:
“Fascism is government by the few and for the few. The objective is seizure and control of the economic, political, social and cultural life of the state.”
“An American Fascist seeking power would not proclaim that he is a Fascist. Fascism always camouflages its plans and purposes. Any fascist attempt made to gain power in America would not use the exact Hitler pattern. It would work under the guise of “super-patriotism” and “super-Americanism”. Fascist leaders are neither stupid nor naïve. They know that they must hand out a line (change) that “sells”. Huey Long is said to have remarked that if Fascism came to America it would be on a program of “Americanism”.
Stop them, Americans! It’s your country.

“The breath of Freedom is blowing through every main street in America.
It is resuscitating the profound meaning of liberty. Any thing liberalism does
Conservatism can do better.” (Frank Trejo)
The following editorial in The Justice Times appeared in the 80s addressing a financial crisis as like today:
BIG BANK BAILOUT
25,000 businesses closed their doors last year – went bankrupt and terminated jobs. Did the taxpayers repay the losses of the investors? NO!
Thousands of farmers faced foreclosures last year – the loss of their land and equipment – when bankers demanded that loans be repaid. Did the taxpayers rush to their rescue and pay off the loans so the farmers could keep the land? NO!
Now today, 10 Big U.S. Banks are on the brink of a financial crisis. Are they taking their losses and their lumps like other Americans do in the private enterprise system? NO!
The reason why the Big Banks are in financial trouble is that, over the last 10 years, they lent $80 billion in unsecured loans to Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Rumania, Poland, and Hungary. Anybody with common sense would have known that those were bad loans when they were made. Those foreign borrowers didn’t provide the financial statements, the information, or the security that American businessmen and farmers have to provide when they apply for loans. Now, the foreign loans are coming due and it is clear that the Communist and LDCs can not pay them back.
Through the years we read of heads of states in foreign countries who retire, get fired, or forced to leave the country, and are reported to have millions and billions in banks. That is our money wasted by this rotten government. It is still happening- right now. And the Congress and White House are to blame – but mostly the Congress – they control the purse strings. THEY ARE CRIMINALS!
But that’s not all. Banks often “roll-over” loans IF the borrower can pay the interest due on the loan. (Roll-over means that the borrower gets more time to pay back the principal). But the foreign countries are so bankrupt that they can’t even pay the interest! When that happens to a U.S. businessman or farmer, that’s the end of the line. That means bankruptcy – or foreclosure. You are wiped out! You get sympathy from your neighbors – but the taxpayers don’t come to your rescue and pay off your loans and debts.
The Big Banks think they are a specially privileged class. (they are) They are demanding a “Big Bank Bailout of 1983.” It isn’t a robbery OF a bank – it is a rip-off OF the U.S. taxpayers BY the Big Banks. The Big Banks have worked out a clever scheme through a middleman in the hope that most Americans won’t realize what a rip-off this is. The Big Banks are asking that the U.S. Treasury give $8.4 billion to the International Monetary Fund (IMF); then the IMF will give the $8.4 billion to the deadbeat Communists and LDC governments; and then those foreign governments will give the $8.4 billion to Citibank, Chase Manhattan Bank, Bank of America, and the other Big Banks to cover the overdue interests payments.
And who picks up the tab? YOU DO – because the U.S. Treasury gets all its money from the American taxpayers. Do you know how YOUR U.S Senators and Congressmen will vote on the Big Banks’ Bailout plan of 1983? You had better get in touch with them fast because the pressure is on to rush this appropriation through before the American people find out what is happening. (shades of the health legislation)
There’s lots more to the Big Bank Bailout plan – $8.4 billion is only the beginning. American banks have made $80 billion in bad loans to foreign borrowers. In order to conceal from the American people what they are doing, the Big Banks’ financial statements list these bad loans as “assets.” Will the auditors go along with this scheme?
The other part of the cover up involves the Federal Reserve, (privately owned) which, under the law, is supposed to supervise the banks. (the fox guarding the hen house) But the Fed has been pressuring the banks to make MORE bad loans to those same bankrupt foreign countries in order to keep the interest coming. Apparently, the Federal Reserve has passed the word to its bank examiners to give the banks a hard time UNLESS these banks INCREASE their bad loans to foreign countries.
The American taxpayers must NOT be forced to pay for the mistakes of the Big Banks. Those mistakes were made by identifiable men in identifiable Big Banks and THEY must be held responsible. The financial loss must fall on the directors of the Big Banks and on the stockholders who hired them. The interest payments on the bad loans can and should be made out of the Big Banks’ capital and earnings. This will NOT affect the depositors’ money. The $8.4 billion appropriation to the International Monetary Fund must be defeated! Stop the Big Bank Bailout of 1983!…end of article.
How things never change. The money entities in our country have raped, are raping, the American taxpayer unimpeded. Even though many people have complained through the years we can’t rely on elected representatives – they ARE the problem. Criminals in Congress are the ones who create economic disasters which in turn effect money markets, so much that the only solutions are bailouts for the elite. It is being reported that billions have been stolen from the stimulus package. Bernanke, the Fed Chairman was asked by a committee member during a hearing _”Where is the money?”(bailout money) and he answered simply “I don’t know.” Why not? – should have been a follow-up question. But that was not to be – this same committee is full of criminals that allowed the crime to happen.
The solution is always to print more fiat currency to fix the crime. The current situation is more serious than ever – we have never had trillions in spending with no end in sight. As an example, besides the health and energy legislation, government wants to increase spending a trillion for the next ten years for education. Legislation being considered will double or triple in cost and we get dummies graduating in return for the buck. The attitude is – “So what!
Nowadays, much legislation is crafted in secrecy. Some members in Congress are forbidden participation. Republicans have attempted to introduce good amendments to the health legislation but are prevented by the despicable Democrats. The majority of people voice opposition to the bill, according to many polls, and yet politicians do whatever they want. A greater percent of citizens are against it but Congress will vote for it anyway. Almost 2000 pages and several more amendments may be added just before voting on the bill. It’ll be ear-mark time. Last I read almost 3 billion in pork is already in it. Many are reading the bill and are reporting how atrocious it is.
Think of the trillions that were lost in the private sector in this latest crime against the American people; real estate, pensions, money markets, businesses, and the inflation it’ll create, all because people allow criminals in Congress to operate outside the law – the Constitution. Issues arising are clearly unconstitutional and where is the Supreme Court – aren’t they the third branch with some power? Governors’ should unite and demand action by the court.
All incumbents – both parties – should be thrown out but won’t be. Many voters are ignorant and corrupted politically and are easily led. There is no room for truth in their minds. The communists in society have done a good job dividing the masses.
The president recently had a bunch of people on TV representing the medical field – all wearing smocks – as if to say ALL in the field support health legislation. In reality, only 17% support the legislation, mostly retired, students, and some that don’t actually practice but are involved academically. How’s that for lies coming from a President of the United States? Speaker of the House Pelosi holds a news conference stating that the bill will not cost anything. It has to be a mental illness. The people who represent the Democratic Party are despicable and shameless. And yet, most party members back home will reelect them – shame on those who call themselves “informed voters.”
There has been much opposition to the bailouts but the controlled media labels them crackpots – wackos. Spotlight Newspaper was a leading voice against the banks and the criminals in Congress but was finally forced to shut down. They would print names of those in Congress who supported the bankers. It was a great source of information not covered by the controlled press. In this socialist/communist society any thing that is right and good for America is viciously attacked. Look at how the Administration is demonizing any entity that stands in its way.
Most ALL networks slant towards the left – and “they” attack Fox News as showing favoritism towards the GOP. This and much more I consider communistic tactics. I, for one, am not afraid to label it as such. Why should we allow all the viciousness directed at wholesome America and spend time defending the lies and mud-slinging by the communists – like the nerds in the Republican Party do? I say it’s time to throw mud back and defend this country like many in the wilderness who have in the past. I find what is happening to our country to be a threat to our freedom and liberties. If we lose freedom and liberties there is no “ lost and found department” anywhere on earth to reclaim it. We are unique – we are Americans! It’s your country – your government – your Constitution – fight for it!
The following says it better than I:
“During the past five decades, the true meaning of the Constitution has been lost as our leaders in government, education and media have gone chasing after modern socialism. The result: American government has become a looming giant, trampling more and more every day on the rights and freedoms of the individual. If the current trend continues, individual freedom will soon be a myth of the past.”
