Global court moves closer to reality


REUTERS [ THURSDAY, MARCH 28, 2002  11:55:43 PM ]

UNITED NATIONS: Despite heavy US opposition, the first permanent global criminal court to try individuals for the world’s most heinous crimes is only four nations shy of becoming a reality.

As of Wednesday, 139 countries have signed a 1998 treaty to establish the International Criminal Court and 56 of them have ratified it. A total of 60 ratifications by national legislatures is needed for the tribunal to be established. "We’re creeping very close to the 60 ratifications needed," UN spokesman Fred Eckhard told reporters.

Bill Pace, head of Coalition for the International Criminal Court, an advocacy group, expects all 60 ratifications to be completed by mid-April, the next preparatory commission meetings for the court.

Countries are now jockeying to see who will become the 60th nation. Among those said to be preparing to hand in ratification papers are Bulgaria, Romania, Cambodia, Bolivia and Greece, diplomats said.

The court would try those accused of mass murders, war crimes and other gross human rights violations and is expected to be set up in The Hague, Netherlands, in 2003. But no one can be prosecuted for crimes committed before that time.

The UN Security Council has established two ad hoc courts: for war crimes during the 1990s Balkan wars and for the 1994 genocide in Rwanda. But the International Criminal Court would be the first permanent criminal tribunal, modeled after the Nazi trials at the end of World War II.

European nations and Canada have taken the lead in supporting the court. All European Union members, except for Greece and Ireland, have ratified the court statutes, negotiated in Rome in 1998. Latin American and African nations were also in the forefront in approving the court.

But Asian countries have been slow to ratify, with legal experts saying no one government wants to take the lead in approving what many perceive to be a Western-oriented tribunal that could undermine their sovereignty.

The US is worried about frivolous law suits from developing countries against US servicemen stationed around the world. The Bush administration has even asked the United Nations whether it could rescind Washington’s signature from the treaty, signed by former US President Bill Clinton at the end of his term.

In Congress, opposition to the International Criminal Court is led chiefly by Republicans in both houses, who have sponsored numerous amendments to bills that would cut funding for US involvement in the court and end military aid to some countries that have ratified its establishment.

The Price Of Free Corn

(The Wild and Free Pigs of the Okefenokee Swamp)

Some years ago, about 1900, an old trapper from North Dakota hitched up some horses to his Studebaker wagon, packed a few possessions– especially his traps – and drove south. Several weeks later he stopped in a small town just north of the Okefenokee Swamp in Georgia.

It was a Saturday morning – a lazy day – when he walked into the general store. Sitting around the pot-bellied stove were seven or eight of the town’s local citizens.

The traveler spoke. "Gentlemen, could you direct me to the Okefenokee Swamp?"

Some of the old-timers looked at him like he was crazy. "You must be a stranger in these parts," they said.

"I am. I’m from North Dakota," said the stranger. "In the Okefenokee Swamp are thousands of wild hogs." one old man explained. "A man who goes into the swamp by himself asks to die!" He lifted up his leg. "I lost half my leg here, to the pigs of the swamp."

Another old fellow said, "Look at the cuts on me; look at my arm bit off! Those pigs have been free since the Revolution, eating snakes and rooting out roots and fending for themselves for over a hundred years. They’re wild and they’re dangerous. You can’t trap them. No man dare go into the swamp by himself." Every man nodded his head in agreement.

The old trapper said, "Thank you so much for the warning. Now could you direct me to the swamp?" They said, "Well, yeah, it’s due south – straight down the road." But they begged the stranger not to go, because they knew he’d meet a terrible fate.

He said, "Sell me ten sacks of corn, and help me load it in the wagon." And they did. Then the old trapper bid them farewell and drove on down the road. The townsfolk thought they’d never see him again. Two weeks later the man came back. He pulled up to the general store, got down off the wagon, walked in and bought ten more sacks of corn. After loading it up he went back down the road toward the swamp.

Two weeks later he returned and again bought ten sacks of corn. This went on for a month. And then two months, and three. Every week or two the old trapper would come into town on a Saturday morning, load up ten sacks of corn, and drive off south into the swamp.

The stranger soon became a legend in the little village and the subject of much speculation. People wondered what kind of devil had possessed this man, that he could go into the Okefenokee by himself and not be consumed by the wild and free hogs.

One morning the man came into town as usual. Everyone thought he wanted more corn. He got off the wagon and went into the store where the usual group of men were gathered around the stove. He took off his gloves.

"Gentlemen," he said, "I need to hire about ten or fifteen wagons. I need twenty or thirty men. I have six thousand hogs out in the swamp, penned up, and they’re all hungry. I’ve got to get them to market right away."

"You’ve WHAT in the swamp?" asked the storekeeper, incredulously. "I have six thousand hogs penned up. They haven’t eaten for two or three days, and they’ll starve if I don’t get back there to feed and take care of them."

One of the old-timers said, "You mean you’ve captured the wild hogs of the Okefenokee?"

"That’s right."

"How did you do that? What did you do?" the men urged, breathlessly.

One of them exclaimed, "But I lost my arm!"

"I lost my brother!" cried another.

"I lost my leg to those wild boars!" chimed a third.

The trapper said, "Well, the first week I went in there they were wild all right. They hid in the undergrowth and wouldn’t come out. I dared not get off the wagon. So I spread corn along behind the wagon. Every day I’d spread a sack of corn. The old pigs would have nothing to do with it."

"But the younger pigs decided that it was easier to eat free corn than it was to root out roots and catch snakes. So the very young began to eat the corn first. I did this every day. Pretty soon, even the old pigs decided that it was easier to eat free corn. After all, they were all free; they were not penned up. They could run off in any direction they wanted at any time."

"The next thing was to get them used to eating in the same place all the time. So I selected a clearing, and I started putting the corn in the clearing. At first they wouldn’t come to the clearing. It was too far. It was too open. It was a nuisance to them."

"But the very young decided that it was easier to take the corn in the clearing than it was to root out roots and catch their own snakes. And not long thereafter, the older pigs also decided that it was easier to come to the clearing every day."

"And so the pigs learned to come to the clearing every day to get their free corn. They could still subsidize their diet with roots and snakes and whatever else they wanted. After all, they were all free. They could run in any direction at any time. There were no bounds upon them."

"The next step was to get them used to fence posts. So I put fence posts all the way around the clearing. I put them in the underbrush so that they wouldn’t get suspicious or upset. After all, they were just sticks sticking up out of the ground, like the trees and the brush. The corn was there every day. It was easy to walk in between the posts, get the corn, and walk back out."

"This went on for a week or two. Shortly they became very used to walking into the clearing, getting the free corn, and walking back out through the fence posts."

"The next step was to put one rail down at the bottom. I also left a few openings, so that the older, fatter pigs could walk through the openings and the younger pigs could easily jump over just one rail. After all, it was no real threat to their freedom or independence. They could always jump over the rail and flee in any direction at any time."

"Now I decided that I wouldn’t feed them every day. I began to feed them every other day. On the days I didn’t feed them the pigs still gathered in the clearing. They squealed, and they grunted, and they begged and pleaded with me to feed them. But I only fed them every other day. And I put a second rail around the posts."

"Now the pigs became more and more desperate for food. Because now they were no longer used to going out and digging their own roots and finding their own food. They now needed me. They needed my corn every other day. So I trained them that I would feed them every day if they came in through a gate. And I put up a third rail around the fence. But it was still no great threat to their freedom, because there were several gates and they could run in and out at will."

"Finally I put up the fourth rail. Then I closed all the gates but one, and I fed them very, very well. Yesterday I closed the last gate. And today I need you to help me take these pigs to market."

-------------end of story–

The price of free corn and the allegory of the pigs has a serious moral lesson. This story is about federal, state, and local money being extorted and used to bait, trap and enslave a once free and independent people.

Government welfare, in its myriad forms has reduced not only individuals to a state of dependency, it has state and local governments on the fast track to elimination, due to their functions being subverted by the command and control structures of "revenue sharing" programs. If state governments would exercise their Constitutional powers, rights and authority, there would be no "revenue sharing" to share. State and local governments should protect the citizens from theft, robbery, coercion, and against all unconstitutional acts.

Corruption starts on the local level. Local school boards and county tax appraisal boards are allowing public education to tax the citizenry and local business community into poverty. Public education has become little more than a social entertainment center under the guise of education.

The state’s have received their fair share of pork as well. In 1978 the State of Texas collected $8,317,274,394.00. In 1988 they collected $20,241,863,929.00. In 1999 they collected $47,970,044,913.00. It is estimated that the State of Texas now has more than 5 TRILLION dollars in surplus. The State could hence forth operate indefinitely without any form of taxation operating on the interest and investments of it’s surplus.

The second plank of the Communist Manifesto is a "Heavy progressive taxation".

Please send a copy of this article to all your state and local elected leaders and other concerned citizens. Tell them: "Just say NO to free corn."

The bacon you save may be your own.

What The Government Won’t Tell You !

Most Americans may think that the purpose of income tax is to finance the necessary operations of the government. It is not. That’s right. IT IS NOT! Congress had done an admirable job of that for some 137 years, without an income tax, and operated on a balanced budget without incurring a national debt. In fact, there were occasions Congress took in more money than it needed. And it is not needed today!

Income tax as we know it, and as it is applied to the masses, is un-Constitutional!

The chief purpose of the un-Constitutional taxes is to enrich the "banksters" who own the Federal Reserve, charging us interest on fiat currency (phony money). In making your income tax payments to the IRS, you would think your payment would go directly to the Treasury, right? WRONG! If you get your check back from your bank, it will often state, "Pay any Federal Reserve Bank, for debts incurred by the US Govt."

"To lay with one hand the power of the government on the property of the citizen, and with the other to bestow it on favored individuals...is none the less robbery because it is done under the forms of law and is called taxation." U.S. Supreme Court in Loan Association v. Topeka (1874).

Does it not seem just a bit odd that a ‘heavy progressive or graduated income tax’ was enacted in 1913, coinciding with the Federal Reserve Act, and the debauching of our money by the Fed’s ‘elastic currency’ policies? Both ideas are straight out of the Communist Manifesto, and one is imperative in order to ensure the survival of the other. Few people have ever grasped the significance of this interrelationship.

Contrary to IRS opinion and media propaganda, the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution (which allegedly authorized the income tax) was never ratified.

Bill Bensen and Red Beckman spent an entire year and went to the 48 states’ legislatures and found out something very shocking. Their exhaustively researched treatise, The Law That Never Was, Vol. 1 & 2, demonstrates unequivocally that the 16th Amendment was never properly ratified. It was simply declared to be ‘in effect’ by President Wilson’s Secretary of State, Philander Knox, on February 25, 1913. Knox’s own memorandums to his Solieitor show how specious his rationale was for doing so. It has always been unconstitutional for the U.S. government to directly tax individuals in their property, wages, salaries, and earnings (see Article 1, Sec.9). Even if the 16th Amendment were deemed valid, the Supreme Court has held that it created no new powers of taxation: ‘A proper regard for its genesis, as well as its very clear language, requires also that this (16th) Amendment shall not be extended by loose construction, so as to repeal or modify, except as applied to income, those provisions of the Constitution that require an apportionment according to population for direct taxes upon property real and personal. This limitation still has an appropriate and important function, and is not to be overridden by Congress or disregarded by the courts.’" Eisner v. Macomber, 252 US 189, 206

"Deceptive statements by IRS spokesmen and other propagandists have created great confusion as to whether limitations on direct taxes are still in effect. Some incorrectly claim that the 16th Amendment (the income tax amendment) changed the constitution limitations on direct taxes and authorized an income tax as a direct tax without apportionment. The judges of the U.S. Supreme Court rejected these claims in the case of Brushaber v. Union Pacific R.R. Co., 240 U.S. 1, when they ruled that the 16th Amendment ‘created no new power of taxation’ and that it ‘ did not change the constitution limitations which forbid any direct taxation of individuals’." NCBA Bulletin (May, 1988).

"The income tax is unconstitutional and was not part of the original intent of those who drafted our Constitution or government. I am supporting a resolution to repeal the 16th Amendment." Steve Symms, former member of the U.S. Congress.

"(I)t probably is not necessary for the federal government to tax anyone directly; it could simply print the money it needs. However, that would be too bold a stroke, for it would then be obvious to all what kind of counterfeiting operation the government is running. The present system combining taxation and inflation is akin to watering the milk; too much water and the people catch on." Congressman Ron Paul

"In a recent conversation with an official at the Internal Revenue Service, I was amazed when he told me that, ‘If the taxpayers of this country ever discover that the IRS operates on 90% bluff, the entire system will collapse." Senator Henry Bellmon (1969)

"Because of what appears to be a lawful command on the surface, many citizens, because of their respect for what only appears to be law, are cunningly coerced into waiving their rights due to ignorance." U.S. Supreme Court in U.S. v. Minker, 350 U.S. 179, 187

"As a result of my efforts, it is my opinion, based on law, that no one is required to file a U.S. income tax return, no one is liable for income taxes, wages are not income, and income taxes are currently being collected in a manner that has already been held to be unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court." Dick Viti, Attorney-At-Law (based on a 6-year study of the Internal Revenue Code and Constitution.

The President of the United States and every member of Congress takes an oath to uphold the Constitution. Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence that "Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just power from the consent of the governed." Jefferson went on to say that "when they become destructive of these ends it is the right of the people to alter, or to abolish such governments. It is this power to control and even to abolish the government that has made our liberties real."

Another conspiracy against American citizens, that the federal government just as soon you not find out about, is the New World Order. The modern roots of the New World Order go back before the time of our Declaration of Independence, and stems from a secret Luciferian society which espouses "illuminism." On May 1, 1776, the Order of Illuminati was established. A quest for total world rule by a select group of "enlightened ones." Rooted in satanic worship, the Illuminati’s stated agenda includes:

1. The destruction of Christianity.

2. The abolition of private property.

3. The abolition of inheritance.

4. The breakup of the family unit.

5. The destruction of patriotism.

6. The abolition of all national government.

7. The creation of a one world government.

"The New World Order under the UN will reduce everything to one common denominator. The system will be made up of a single currency, single centrally financed government, single tax system, single language, single political system, single world court of justice, single state religion....Each person will have a registered number, without which he will not be allowed to buy or sell; and there will be one universal world church. Anyone who refuses to take part in the universal system will have no right to exist." Assessment of the New World Order by Fr. Kurk E. Koch, University professor who has lectured at 100 universities in 65 countries on 5 continents. His subjects of expertise are the New World Order, Occultism, and Extreme Movements.

The United Nations (UN), the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), and the Trilateral Commission are the representative sampling of the plethora of One Worlders, supported, funded, and controlled by the Illuminati, international financiers.

"The real rulers in Washington are invisible and exercise power from behind the scenes." Felix Frankfurter, U.S. Supreme Court Justice

"The UN is the greatest fraud in history. Its purpose is to destroy the United States." Congressman John E. Rankin

The federal government has assumed thousands of different programs that not only lack any Constitutional authority, but are categorically prohibited by the Constitution. As a result of what has been happening while the people have been sleeping, and not fully realizing what’s been taking place, the American people find themselves under a powerful despotism which has merged us into a socialist type of welfare state. Poverty discourages people from thinking for themselves, and allows the government to go beyond its Constitutional authority.

"We operate here under directives which emulate from the White House...The substance of the directives under which we operate is that we shall use our grant making power to alter life in the U.S. so that we can comfortably be merged with the Soviet Union." Rowan Gaither, President of the Ford Foundation (1954)

"We shall have World government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether World government will be achieved by conquest or consent." James Paul Warburg (son of Paul Moritz Warburg, chief architect of the Federal Reserve Act), boasted confidently on February 17, 1950 before the U.S. Senate.

Title-50 War and National Defense, 783 states- "It shall be unlawful for any person knowingly to combine, conspire, or agree with any other person to perform any act which would substantially contribute to the establishment within the United States of a totalitarian dictatorship, the direction and control of which is to be vested in, or exercised by or under the domination of control of, any foreign government."

The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) are in violation of Title-50 War and National Defense -783. The Council on Foreign Relations has unlawfully and knowingly combined, conspired, and agreed to substantially contribute to the establishment of one world order under the totalitarian dictatorship, the direction and the control of members of Council on Foreign Relations, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, and members of their branch organizations in various nations throughout the world. That is totalitarianism on a global scale.

Get America out of the United Nations (UN), and get the UN out of America! The Constitution is not about the UN Charter, nor is the UN Charter about the Constitution.

Wake Up America!!!!!!!! It’s your country, it’s your freedom, and it’s your money. You’re about to lose all three.

When the people fear the government, you have tyranny!

When the government fears the people, you have liberty!

WAR ON THE CONSTITUTION



Wed Feb 20, 2002
By Rafe Husa


We have bombing and war yet there is no declaration of war.


A new Cabinet position (Homeland Security) has been created yet Congress passed neither enabling legislation nor has Congress appropriated funding of such, nor has the Cabinet Member been confirmed by Congress.


"NO MONEY SHALL BE DRAWN FROM THE TREASURY, BUT IN CONSEQUENCE OF APPROPRIATIONS MADE BY LAW; AND A REGULAR STATEMENT AND ACCOUNT OF THE RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES OF ALL PUBLIC MONEY SHALL BE PUBLISHED FROM TIME TO TIME." UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION SEC 9.


We have learned of selective suspension of Habeas Corpus yet no martial law or state of emergency has been declared.


"THE PRIVILEGE OF THE WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS SHALL NOT BE SUSPENDED, UNLESS WHEN IN CASES OF REBELLION OR INVASION THE PUBLIC SAFETY MAY REQUIRE IT." UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION SEC 9.


Thousands of people have disappeared with not even their lawyers knowing their whereabouts.....is it protective custody or internment?


Congress has passed legislation under duress while it was being attacked by Anthrax mail. The attacks stopped immediately after Congress passed the "Patriot Act". The source of anthrax is openly admitted to coming from US defense laboratories. Congress did not even get a chance to read legislation that it has passed let alone debate it.


Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) Said "IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THE BILL WASN'T PRINTED BEFORE THE VOTE - AT LEAST I COULDN'T GET IT. THEY PLAYED ALL KINDS OF GAMES, KEPT THE HOUSE IN SESSION ALL NIGHT, AND IT WAS A VERY COMPLICATED BILL. MAYBE A HANDFUL OF STAFFERS ACTUALLY READ IT, BUT THE BILL DEFINITELY WAS NOT AVAILABLE TO MEMBERS BEFORE THE VOTE."
Violations


**The First Amendment right of free speech and association;
**The Fourth No searches without warrants, there does not now exist any category called "unreasonable searches and seizures" all searches are effectively legal, specifically secret searches;


"THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO BE SECURE IN THEIR PERSONS, HOUSES, PAPERS, AND EFFECTS, AGAINST UNREASONABLE SEARCHES AND SEIZURES, SHALL NOT BE VIOLATED, AND NO WARRANTS SHALL ISSUE, BUT UPON PROBABLE CAUSE, SUPPORTED BY OATH OR AFFIRMATION, AND PARTICULARLY DESCRIBING THE PLACE TO BE SEARCHED, AND THE PERSONS OR THINGS TO BE SEIZED." UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION 4TH AMENDMENT.


**The Fifth prohibition against seizure of property without due process is gone;
"NO PERSON SHALL BE HELD TO ANSWER FOR A CAPITAL, OR OTHERWISE INFAMOUS CRIME, UNLESS ON A PRESENTMENT OR INDICTMENT OF A GRAND JURY, EXCEPT IN CASES ARISING IN THE LAND OR NAVAL FORCES, OR IN THE MILITIA, WHEN IN ACTUAL SERVICE IN TIME OF WAR OR PUBLIC DANGER; NOR SHALL ANY PERSON BE SUBJECT FOR THE SAME OFFENSE TO BE TWICE PUT IN JEOPARDY OF LIFE OR LIMB; NOR SHALL BE COMPELLED IN ANY CRIMINAL CASE TO BE A WITNESS AGAINST HIMSELF, NOR BE DEPRIVED OF LIFE, LIBERTY, OR PROPERTY, WITHOUT DUE PROCESS OF LAW; NOR SHALL PRIVATE PROPERTY BE TAKEN FOR PUBLIC USE, WITHOUT JUST COMPENSATION." UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION 5TH AMENDMENT.


**As with the war on drugs, property can be seized be executive order; people, even citizens, can be declared or defined terrorist by executive order;


**Organizations, including Citizens, can be declared terrorist or terrorist linked by executive order and have their assets seized and membership list confiscated.


**Secret courts disburse secret search warrants, people are charged with secret evidence which even their lawyers cannot see and are unable to confront or challenge their accusers. All of the above was actually legal prior to 911 but will now enter mainstream.


IN ALL CRIMINAL PROSECUTIONS, THE ACCUSED SHALL ENJOY THE RIGHT TO A SPEEDY AND PUBLIC TRIAL, BY AN IMPARTIAL JURY OF THE STATE AND DISTRICT WHEREIN THE CRIME SHALL HAVE BEEN COMMITTED, WHICH DISTRICT SHALL HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY ASCERTAINED BY LAW, AND TO BE INFORMED OF THE NATURE AND CAUSE OF THE ACCUSATION; TO BE CONFRONTED WITH THE WITNESSES AGAINST HIM; TO HAVE COMPULSORY PROCESS FOR OBTAINING WITNESSES IN HIS FAVOR, AND TO HAVE THE ASSISTANCE OF COUNSEL FOR HIS DEFENSE." UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION 6TH AMENDMENT.


Open permission to kill has been given to intelligence agencies (Death squads organized, financed and run by the US Gov). Who will decide which of the enemies of the US GOV is beyond the pale and need to be exterminated, how long before this horror strikes home as US Government certainly has many opponents both presumed and real both at home and abroad?
One of the internees died with an alleged heart attack. When his body was autopsied in Pakistan he had several broken bones and possible internal injuries. Some internees have smuggled out letters which describe the pressure to denounce each other as a way to get out of isolation and or avoid immigration charges. This has occurred amid requests from the FBI to legalize torture.


The Founders saw the constitution as a limiting document on the Federal government. They were afraid of exactly the kind of all pervasive intrusive Federal power. They repeatedly clarified that the constitution was a restrictive document on the activities of the Federal Government. The Constitution, contrary to what the public schools teach, delegates specific powers to the Federal government and all others powers belong to either the states or the people.


The Bill of rights did not give the people any rights (our rights are God given). Consequently the bill of rights was a specific restriction on the activities of the Federal Government to avoid i.e. "Shall not be infringed (2nd Amend)". According to the debates at the ratification convention in Philadelphia they did not see a need for the bill of rights as they saw the constitution as a very clear limitation on the Federal Government. But many others who seem to have a portent of things to come pushed for the 10 amendments as a way to clearly delineate the limits of Federal Power. This is why Patrick Henry and others forced Madison to add the 9th and 10th Amendment.


"THE ENUMERATION IN THE CONSTITUTION, OF CERTAIN RIGHTS, SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED TO DENY OR DISPARAGE OTHERS RETAINED BY THE PEOPLE." UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION 9TH AMENDMENT.


"THE POWERS NOT DELEGATED TO THE UNITED STATES BY THE CONSTITUTION, NOR PROHIBITED BY IT TO THE STATES, ARE RESERVED TO THE STATES RESPECTIVELY, OR TO THE PEOPLE." UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION 10TH AMENDMENT.


The Founders had a visceral hatred and distrust of a standing army. They pushed a sense of the free American and armed militia as the Republic's defense. They disliked centralized power especially of a central military. They created in the revolutionist a healthy distrust of Imperial power and imperial armies. Now the image has become full circle.


"THE STRONGEST REASON FOR PEOPLE TO RETAIN THE RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS IS, AS A LAST RESORT, TO PROTECT THEMSELVES AGAINST TYRANNY IN GOVERNMENT." Thomas Jefferson papers, 334 (C.J. Boyd, ed. 1950)


"WHAT, SIR, IS THE USE IF A MILITIA? IT IS TO PREVENT THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A STANDING ARMY, THE BAND OF LIBERTY..... WHENEVER GOVERNMENTS MEAN TO INVADE THE RIGHTS AND LIBERTIES OF THE PEOPLE THEY ALWAYS ATTEMPT TO DESTROY THE MILITIA, IN ORDER TO RAISE AN ARMY UPON THEIR RUINS."
-Rep. Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts, spoken during floor debate over the Second Amendment, I Annals of Congress at 750, August 17, 1789.


See: Annals of Congress http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/amlaw/lwaclink.html#anchor1
I attended a Flag ceremony in city hall where I saw rows of flags and solemn faced people. The Flag poles all had eagles on them. If one were to add a small swastika in the eagle's claws this rally would be more like Germany in 1933 rather than America in 2001.


In summary I wish to raise your attention that while you focus on the war overseas the war at home is just as important. On Sept 11 we have turned like the Roman Republic before us to Empire. Prior to 911 we had an incipient empire and a formal republic. After 911 the empire and empire builders come openly to the fore front while the forms and walls of the republic are systematically destroyed. What will be left is a hollow shell of the former republic and its institutions.

__________________________


APRIL 15th - Tis the season for paranoia, fear and strife for millions of American's who have yet to hear the good news.


"If we stuck to the Constitution as written, we would have: no federal meddling in our schools; no Federal Reserve; no U.S. membership in the UN; no gun control; and no foreign aid. We would have no welfare for big corporations, or the "poor"; no American troops in 100 foreign countries; No NAFTA, GATT, or "fast-track"; no arrogant federal judges usurping states rights; no attacks on private property; no income tax. We could get rid of most of the cabinet departments, most of the agencies, and most of the budget. The government would be small, frugal, and limited." - Congressman Ron Paul (R-14-TX)


Taxes cost Americans more than food, clothing, and shelter combined; an average in excess of $10,000 for every man, woman, and child in the nation.


Some people do owe income tax. If you are a federal employee, you owe income tax. That's why they call it FEDERAL INCOME TAX. Do you receive or earn federal income? If not, then you do not owe FEDERAL INCOME TAX. Do you live on a federal reservation? If not, then you do not owe FEDERAL INCOME TAX. Do you live within a 10 mile radius of the Capitol in Washington D.C.? If not, then you do not owe FEDERAL INCOME TAX. Do you live within any of the federal territories such as Guam, Virgin Islands, American Samoa, or Puerto Rico? If not, then you do not owe FEDERAL INCOME TAX. Unless you derive income from the federal government, you do not owe FEDERAL INCOME TAX.


"The 16th Amendment does not authorize laying of an income tax upon one person for the income derived solely from another." [wages] McCutchin v. Commissioner of IRS, 159 F2d.
"Because of what appears to be a lawful command on the surface, many citizens, because of their respect for what only appears to be law, are cunningly coerced into waving their rights due to ignorance." - U.S. Supreme Court in U.S. v. Minker, 350 U.S. 179, 187.


Despite the governments fraud and implementation of illegal taxation, it has become a monumental horror to the Sovereign People. There are taxes on payroll, personal property, pensions, severance, Social Security, corporation, stock transfer, tobacco, tonnage, transportation, utilities, accumulated earnings, ad-valorem, alcoholic beverages, amusements, apparel, business, capital gains, consumption, corporate income, dividends, employment, estate, excise, franchises, fuel, furnishings, gas, sales, gift, gross receipts, health care, holding company, income, inheritance, land, license, life insurance, luxuries, motor oil, motor vehicle, occupation, operators license, and the list goes on and on.


This practice continues today with the Gestapo agents, IRS and the courts, making martyrs out of innocent people. The American people have lost total control of their government. The old frog in water story applies here. If you place a frog in a pot of cold water, and very gradually raise the heat to a boil, he won't notice the difference; a painless execution.


132 million Taxpayers CAN tell 435 Congressman, 100 Senators and 1 President WHAT TO DO!


"If the People Will Lead, The Leaders Will Follow". Make April 15th just another great spring day. It will not happen without you!


We have been told by members of Congress, the Supreme Court, the Internal Revenue, and tax experts and researchers, that the Income Tax is a hoax and unconstitutional, yet FEAR dominates enforced by DICTATORSHIP.


At this time I would like for you to read below the wisdom and truth spoken by Sherry Peel Jackson. Then and only then, you must be the one to decide if you have the courage to withdraw from the fraudulent tax scheme imposed by the federal government.

CLOSING COMMENTS -


Ladies and Gentlemen:


My name is Sherry Peel Jackson. I became a Certified Public Accountant in 1987, I was an Internal Revenue Agent in the Atlanta District for 7 years, and I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 2001. I am here to summarize the tales of ignorance and deception that you have heard over the last two days and I am here to inform you of the state of the nation so that you may choose your next course of action.


You have heard the truth of how the Internal Revenue Service, Department of Justice, Federal Reserve and politicians have perpetuated this smoke and mirrors - dog and pony show on you the American people for over 88 years. You have heard of American families devastated by the invasion of privacy and unbridled fear placed upon them through threats of liens, levy's and even jail time. In my tenure as an IRS agent, I personally saw marriages broken, families torn apart, homes confiscated and businesses destroyed - all while my colleagues and I were out making unjust demands on the American people - without the proper authority. Now, you be the judge.


You have seen that Commissioner Charles Rosatti, Dan Bryant, the majority of our congressional delegation and other civil servants have refused to do their jobs. It would have been as simple as answering the questions of these well-educated researchers in a public forum, such as this one. But they have reneged, so you be the judge.


You have learned that the Constitution of the United States of America has been trampled on and ignored through allowing the privately owned Federal Reserve to create paper currency and charge you 47 million dollars in interest per hour - money coming from the mouths of your children and the college education funds of your grandchildren, all the while the children and grandchildren of the owners of the Federal Reserve will never have to work a day in their lives, and that is wrong, on so many different levels.


And let me tell you, that as a black woman I am keenly aware of the history of slavery. But do you understand that we are all slaves to this system? Do you understand that the media and Hollywood play a part keeping the American people so fixated on Alley McBeal, WWF Smackdown, Moeisha and the Practice that we don't take time to read the Creature from Jekyll Island, study the Internal Revenue Code and learn the Constitution?


Now, let me spend just a minute to address my culture. Do you realize that the so called black leaders make millions of dollars every year playing the "us against them" role - keeping blacks focused on the race card and away from the real issue - the theft of our future through taxation.


These publicity mongers are well aware of the oppression brought on by income taxation, they love to march on Washington about racial profiling and civil rights, not to say that these are not real problems, but these leaders have been too afraid to approach the powers that be and have a million man, woman, boy, girl march about economic freedom from income taxation and restoration of constitutional rights.


(And they have the nerve to call Clarence Thomas an Uncle Tom.)


Also, there's been a lot of talk about reparations lately, but know this: If all Americans were able to keep the money withheld from their paychecks every year, that money would enable them to home school, start their own business and boost the economy, save for college and retirement, even buy that 40 acres and a mule. So, you be the judge.


You need to understand that with an Internal Revenue Code, Code of Federal Regulations, and other "official documents" spouting off several different definitions of United States, Internal Revenue Service and other important terms, this deception that keeps people ignorant is not a coincidence. The writers of the Code used semantics and legalese to make us think that we are required to pay the income tax and file an income tax return. Former IRS commissioner Shirley Peterson even stated that, and I quote, "Eight decades of amendments&.to (the) code have produced a virtually impenetrable maze&.The rules are unintelligible to most citizens&.The rules are equally mysterious to many government employees who are charged with administering and enforcing the law." End quote.


This fraud was strung together by people like the former president that said "it depends on what your definition of is is" and "it depends on what your definition of sex is". This incident showed us that definitions are very important to politicians and lawyers, and no word is meaningless. For example, it does depend on what the definition of "source" is.


The opposition, in an attempt to keep the sheeple in the flock, will scoff at us and encourage unaware Americans to ridicule those of us who have been informed, saying, "these people just don't want to pay their fair share." We have already learned from a speech by former Federal Reserve Chairman Beardsley Rhuml that this country doesn't need income taxes for revenue. This money collected from our sweat and tears is used to perpetuate redistribution of wealth, among other things. But the powers that be keep beating the people over the head with this "fair share' garbage. Well, what is fair share? Haven't the families of the victims in New York City and the pentagon paid their fair share? Haven't the men and women that lost sons and daughters, husbands in wives in Vietnam, Korea and the other battles paid their fair share? So you see, this tactic to pit those that are uninformed of the income tax fraud against those who have seen the light is baseless and must be eliminated!


The opposition also uses our religious faith to twist the meaning of authority and to create unjust statutes. People, I know godly authority and our current system does not reflect godly authority. Many of our past and present religious leaders have been jailed for questioning authority. They have been beaten, starved and even killed for their faith and their defiance of injustice. People of America - is what you're living for worth dying for? Are you willing to take a stand? It's your choice.


The creators of this Creature called the income tax, engineered their system to manipulate you into staying in your comfort zones. With a little bit of patriotism and a little bit of fear tactic mixed into a pot of inflation and deflation, they have been able to keep the people confused, intimidated and obedient for over 88 years.


But now the truth about the fraudulent origin and operations of the Federal Reserve System and the Internal Revenue Service have been revealed to the American people. You can no longer claim ignorance of the truth. You must acknowledge it or reject it. The choice is yours. And the consequences of your decision will rest on the shoulders of your children and future generations of Americans.


You can remain an informed slave or you can get off of the plantation. You can remain engrossed in fear, or you can take a stand like Patrick Henry who shouted "give me liberty or give me death." You can stay hypnotized by "As The World Turns" and "The Guiding Light", or you can turn off the bube tube and read the Constitution, then go ask your elected representatives why they refuse to follow it. Remember that those elected representatives have sworn to uphold and defend our constitution.


Remember that each of our elected representatives has pledged to serve our country first-not a political party, or certain privileged and special interests groups-but you, the American People. They are our public servants.


In closing, we have shown you the truth. Now, for the sake of our Country and our children, we ask you to choose justice over injustice, unity over division, courage over fear, truth over ignorance, and liberty over economic slavery.


We ask you to stand with us and let the voice of freedom be heard from every corner of our great country. It is time to end this long-standing injustice and tyranny over the American People.


Thank you.

Counter-insurgency Propaganda Code Words

by Anonymous

  • Some counter-insurgency propaganda code words are euphemisms with political intent.

  • A counter-insurgency euphemism is the substitution of an agreeable word for one that is not so agreeable.

That's why we have the Department of Defense, rather than the Department of Killing People. The word Defense is friendly, and carries moral authority. When civilians (live Men, Women, and Children) are murdered by the Department of Killing People, the result is "collateral damage".

Counter-insurgency propaganda code words re-label theft and murder to make them appear as "commerce" and "justice".

The four organizations listed below employ code words to disguise their one true objective: Complete subjugation of the Human Race. Curiously, each claims a different justification in order to pursue this goal.

Following is a description of the worlds primary code language generators, along with the moral claim of each.

D.O.D. – Vote Delivery Machine, and Home for Unwed Mothers.

  • Official Description: The Department of Defense is the nations largest employer, with 1.4 million men and women on active duty. Annual published budget of 270 billion dollars.

  • The D.O.D. also maintains a classified budget, amount unknown.

  • Moral Claim: Evil can be eliminated if we eliminate Freedom.

I.A.D.B. – Training camp for Tin Pot Dictators, including the American kind.

  • Official Description: The Inter-American Defense Board. This organization operates a top-level military planning center, and college.

  • The I.A.D.B. teaches government employees and military commanders the methods of acquiring power .

  • I.A.D.B.graduates, according to their website, occupy positions of great influence.

  • Moral Claim: Anarchy can be eliminated if we eliminate Freedom.

Interpol – Money watchdog. Makes sure everyone pays taxes somewhere.

  • Official Description: Short for International Police, it is the second biggest international organization after the United Nations.

  • It's stated mission is to gather and disseminate criminal intelligence in order to combat international crime.

  • Moral Claim: Crime can be eliminated if we eliminate Freedom.

NATO – World Government enforcement tool.

  • Official Description: The North Atlantic Treaty Alliance.

  • Their stated role is to safeguard the freedom and security of its 19 member countries. According to the NATO website, the North Atlantic Treaty derives its legitimacy from the U.N. Charter.

  • Moral Claim: War can be eliminated if we eliminate Freedom.

Now that we have examined the four sources of counter-insurgency propaganda code language, we can look at the specific code words that they employ:

Covert Operations

  • Operations which are planned and executed as to conceal the identity of the sponsor.

  • Example: Have a CIA funded terrorist fly a plane into the World Trade Center.

Psychological Consolidation Activities

  • Activities directed at the civilian population in areas under friendly control, in order to rally support for military objectives.

  • Example: Have the Pentagon oversee production of a pro-war movie such as Black Hawk Down.

Psychological Media

  • Controllable media which establishes communication with a target audience.

  • Example: The New York Times, CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, Google.

Psychological Operations

  • Operations that convey information to foreign audiences in order to influence their behavior.

  • Example: Drop food and money on Afghan refugees.

Psychological Situation

  • The emotional state or behavioral motivation of a target audience. Example: Patriotic fervor.

Psychological Operations Approach

  • The technique adopted to induce a desired reaction on the part of the target audience.

  • Example: Incite Patriotic fervor, then declare war.

Psychological Warfare

  • The use of propaganda in order to influence the attitudes and behavior of hostile foreign groups.

  • Example: Suggest the possible use of nuclear weapons.

Psychological Warfare Consolidation

  • Psychological warfare directed toward populations in friendly areas with the objective of promoting cooperation.

  • Example: Have CIA operatives grant cash rewards for useful intelligence.

Perception Management

  • Actions that convey or deny selected information to a civilian population in order to influence their behavior.

  • Example: Force a search engine to de-list unapproved websites.

The counter-insurgency propaganda code words listed above represent deception, chicanery, and manipulation.        
  • In other words: Evil.

In order to understand why organizations use these methods, it is worthwhile to examine the makeup of systems in general.

A book by John Gall entitled Systemantics describes the nature of systems:            
  • how they eventually become living, breathing entities.
  • Not only do they develop a collective consciousness, but
  •  they also develop the desire for growth, and mechanisms of self-preservation.

A system can be: a country, an organization, or a religion.

  • In the case of a Country, Patriotism is the mechanism of self-preservation.
  • In an Organization, it is Allegiance to a cause.
  • In a Religion, it is Faith.
In all cases, the adherents are bound within a collective organizational consciousness.

The ego-like qualities of this organizational consciousness cause each system to lust for ever greater power.

  • Greater power requires more personnel,
  • which requires ever larger budgets, in a never ending spiral of growth.
The lack of profit which would keep a private company in check does not serve as a restriction for a system that can extract taxes as needed from a captive regional or global population. Even if commercial activity declines as a result of excessive taxation, the tax-supported systems continue to grow.

To justify this growth,

  • these systems have no choice but to abandon the original purpose for which they were created.
  • Thus, a moderate original goal must be replaced with a lofty objective, couched in a complex terminology, that is designed to sound virtuous.
  • The elimination of evil, anarchy, crime, and war. In all cases, the objective requires growth.
Government bureaucracies play this game, as well.                                      
  • Currencies are expanded worldwide in a global competition of debasement.
  • Inflation is the favored tax of geographic tax supported systems known as countries.
  • As taxes increase, so must patriotism by a corresponding amount to avoid insurrection.

Eventually, the practical justification for a tax supported system grown huge disappears all together, leaving behind nothing but the naked lust for power.

  • With it's own language,
  • it's own culture, and
  • it's own survival mechanisms,
The system feels that complete world domination is the only objective worthy of it's infinite sense of self. Thus, the world falls under the control of tax supported thugs who have the strength, and the motive, to rob almost every person on the planet.

It's probably too late to stop the current cycle of asset confiscation, currency debasement, and economic collapse.

Our best hope is to train a new generation of American Citizens who are educated, brave, and willing to fight for their Freedom, they same way our Forefather's fought so many times before.

POLICE STATE, USA
Emergency-powers bill gaining momentum
Measure would grant 'overly sweeping rights to the government'

Posted: March 20, 2002

The vast majority of states currently are considering a piece of model legislation that critics charge could turn out to be a major threat to civil liberties.

According to the American Legislative Exchange Council, a Washington, D.C.-based small-government advocacy group, 34 states have begun considering the "Model State Emergency Health Powers Act," a bill that critics contend gives state governors unprecedented authority in the event of a terrorist attack or other threat to the public health.

As reported by WorldNetDaily Jan. 10, the bill, if adopted as written, grants governors the power to order the collection of all data and records on citizens, ban firearms, take control of private property and quarantine entire cities.

An initial version of the bill was drafted in October 2001, just a month after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, by The Center for Law and the Public's Health at Georgetown and Johns Hopkins Universities, in collaboration with several other organizations, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Ga.

But as word – and criticism – of the measure spread, its authors released a second draft Dec. 21, though ALEC says much of the original intent remained unchanged.

"While some of these changes reflect the concerns shared by groups interested in protecting and promoting civil liberties, other changes were merely cosmetic, inexplicable or altogether nonexistent," said a policy analysis paper issued by ALEC, which opposes the model bill.

"Moreover, the release of a revised draft does not mask the original intent of the authors, nor does it prevent states that have already introduced the original draft from considering the original provisions," the group said.

Jennifer King, the director of the Health and Human Services task force for ALEC, said that although "we're not breathing easy yet," most states so far have chosen to "water down" the model bill.

She told WorldNetDaily that South Dakota is the first and only state thus far to pass the measure, but it, too, "was a fairly watered-down version."

"It doesn't have all the offensive quarantine or ration language in it that the CDC model had," she said.

But Minnesota "is very close to passing the closest version of the bill that we have seen," she said, though "it's still been watered down considerably to require some studying of certain aspects." Other states have been "active" in holding hearings regarding the bill.

Mississippi, by contrast, "has killed the bill outright" – the only state so far to do so, she said. And in other "positive trends," at least two other states, Georgia and Oklahoma, "added in some language saying that if the governor declares the public health emergency, then the legislature has to come into session within 48 hours and vote it up or down," said King.

"From our perspective, we found that to be quite positive," she said. "We should see a really hard push [in many states] in the next few weeks."

The model bill's preamble recalls the events of Sept. 11, focusing attention on a "need to protect the health and safety of citizens from epidemics and bio-terrorism," according to one analysis. Since the terrorist attacks, federal officials have repeatedly warned that the threat of chemical, biological and even nuclear attack is "real."

The Homeland Security Agency, under its director, Tom Ridge, has even issued a new color-coded warning system, to gauge the level of threat against the nation at any given time.

But critics say the level of control that could be assumed by state authorities is unprecedented.

An analysis by ALEC says the bill "strips individuals and families of their rights and liberties at the expense of government," while representing "unnecessary and duplicative legislation given existing state natural-disaster statutes."

The bill, as written, "provides a number of potential legal loopholes for trial lawyers to extort," grants "overly sweeping rights to the government," and "fails to consider individual state needs," the group said.

Also, the measure "consolidates broad powers" to unelected public health officials while it "erects barriers to states' ability to respond, slowing down response times." It also utilizes "vague language" to "define key concepts, including when an emergency can be declared," the ALEC analysis concluded.

According to the measure, a "public health emergency" is defined as:

 

"an occurrence or imminent threat of an illness or health condition, caused by bio-terrorism, epidemic or pandemic disease, or novel and highly fatal infectious agent or biological toxin, that poses a substantial risk of a significant number of human fatalities or incidents of permanent or long-term disability. Such illness or health condition includes, but is not limited to, an illness or health condition resulting from a national disaster."

The bill's authors have defended the measure, however, saying they believe it is a necessary tool to give state authorities the power they need to deal quickly with unconventional threats to the public safety.

Lawrence O. Gostin, director and principal investigator for the Center for Law and the Public's Health at Georgetown and Johns Hopkins, says there are no tools on the books for lawmakers and state chief executives to effectively deal with health emergencies such as bio-terrorism.

"Current public health laws are too highly antiquated and inadequate to ensure a strong and effective response to biot-errorism," Gostin said. "Existing laws thwart public health officials in rapidly identifying and ameliorating health threats, thus jeopardizing the public's safety."

And last fall, when the model bill was unveiled, Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson hailed it as "an important tool for state and local officials to respond to bio-terrorism and other public health emergencies."

However, some legal experts warn that even legislation that appears harmless or well-intended could be dangerous to civil liberties.

"We should think always that every new law may be enforced by our worst enemies," B. Utley, the Robert A. Taft fellow in constitutional and international studies at the Ludwig von Mises Institute, told WND last October, after President Bush signed the USA Patriot Act of 2001.

"As drafted, whether these threats are justified depends upon the opinion of only one person – the governor of a state," he said. Legislatures that may consider the bill at some point should "work to improve the model act to minimize the chance that a governor could make a mistake."

Others contend the entire bill is unnecessary because governors already retain the authority to declare emergencies should one arise. The model bill, however, would override some of the civil-liberties protections built into current state statutes.

About one-third of all state legislators are members of ALEC. It was founded in 1973 by a "small group of state legislators and conservative policy advocates … who share a common belief in limited government, free markets, federalism and individual liberty."
