I was, for years, for a flat tax.  I felt that income taxes, as devised, were detrimental to our economy and each individual American.

Last year, minding my own business so-to-speak, I was doing research for tax preparation.  An article caught my eye which has led me on an investigation for over 1 ½ years now.  I have been trying to prove that The Constitution does not require that taxes are to be apportioned and that the Supreme Court did not find that the Constitution was not changed by the Sixteenth Amendment.  I have been just about pulling out my hair, because everywhere I turn, despite all manner of spin, twists and turns by the U.S. Government and many “Liberal” / Socialist types my findings have been and still are that the Constitution, according to the Supreme Court, remains unchanged with regards to the apportionment clause.

I am utterly convinced that Thomas Jefferson won; that the Federal Government is to have only “enumerated powers” and that it is supposed to be an agent of the free and “INDEPENDENT” States and be a very small office relative to it’s current “ILLEGAL” size and scope.  Further I have found multitudes of reasons WRITTEN by the founding fathers as to why this is so and how the “apportionment” clause was to see to it that the U.S. Government never would be able to develop the financial assets required to gain power over the States or any involvement over the daily lives of Americans who live in the States.  That each State was to have its own army and “militias”  to further ensure against a Federal Government take over of the lives and daily freedoms of individual Americans or the individual free States.

I have further found out that in every court case that I have personally read the transcripts, where so-called, tax protesters have lost, the judge SPECIFICALLY stated that he would not allow the law to be used in the court and that he would “direct” the jury as to what the law was.   Additionally I have found it extraordinary how many cases have been won by “so-called” tax protesters that go un-reported by any major media source.  In one case there were 161 counts of various tax evasion counts against a business and several individuals.  The IRS lost each and every count ZERO out of 161 counts.  That has happened as recently as with in the year.  Several individuals have also won where the jury “demanded” to see the law for themselves.  Neither the judge nor the IRS could produce any law that called for taxes on the average American citizen.  This is because there is no law, including the Sixteenth Amendment, that has reversed the apportionment clause according to The Supreme Court.

I personally believe that we can not afford to pick and choose which laws that the Federal Government has to obey, of The Constitution, and which ones the scofflaws can thwart.  I know for a fact, from all my research that our founding fathers wrote each and every law in The Constitution for a very specific well thought out reason, because I have read and still read almost every day about these matters.  I believe that our country is about to undergo nightmarishly hard times because We The People have not taken care of our responsibility to police the Federal Government and many of the State Governments for that matter.  Social Security and Medicare ALONE, for example, will be $90,000,000,000,000.00 (NINTY TRILLION DOLLARS) in debt, over the infinite horizon, by the time the new President and Congress takes over in January.  There is only one place to find that much money; and that is from the payroll withholding taxes of the hundreds of millions of working men and women of this country.  David Walker, the past Comptroller General of The United States of America for almost Ten years figures that we are talking about withholding payroll taxes of 70 – 80 percent of every paycheck unless something is done and done soon.

There is no choice but to engage the full scope of THE LAW on the Federal Government.  So in my opinion, sir, taxes must be apportioned.  Obviously that is not politically possible, which is exactly the intent as written by the founding fathers, which means that the Federal Government has to collapse down to handling only the ENUMERATED powers and responsibilities allowed by the law that We The People did ordain and establish on the Federal Government.  It is that or pure Socialism under a one world Government headed up by the largest private company on Earth that collects every penny of our Income Taxes in the form of interest – The Federal Reserve, who also created and “leads” the Trilateral Commission www.trilateral.org .  The IRS does not work for the U.S. Government as, according to the publically available Grace Commission Report to President Reagan in 1983, every penny collected goes directly to this private closely held by forty mega-powerful stock holders and which not a penny goes into the U.S. Treasury for even a New York minute.  Congress has to beg The Federal Reserve for each and every penny they spend in the form of a loan, of which we pay even more interest on top of the interest.

If that weren’t bad enough, the real icing on the cake is that the dollar is only backed by about 4 cents of various bullion reserves and assets.  That means that eventually, at least in a realistic world, a $1,000.00 mortgage should really be $25,000.00, but in reality we have never received pay for our hard work and we, nor anyone has ever paid for anything.  In effect and in a true reality we live in a form of “The Matrix” just like the movie because nothing exists in the way we perceive in our minds, as programmed by The Federal Reserve System, in that nothing that we can see, touch, smell or taste has been paid for by anybody.  So in a realistic sense we only perceive in our minds that we or anybody else owns anything.  Another reason for this is printed on all Dollar bills.  Printed on them is the following: “FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE”.  Do you know what a NOTE is?  It is nothing more than the “promise” to pay with “real” money sometime in the future.  In this case, it is a future that will never arrive.  Therefore, in a very realistic sense, nothing exists as we perceive it with our senses, in terms of ownership or having been secured by way of purchase.  The cost to run this “Matrix” is too much even for the forty owners of The Federal Reserve System which is as “Federal” as Federal Express.  And they, being a “private” company have the right to say no to any loan request by Congress.  So Congress has to “keep the bank happy”.  And, the bank likes to “advise” the top Government officials and keep them informed of the “best course of action and legislation” behind closed doors.  If The Constitution were to be obeyed by the Federal Government none of this stuff would have happened to us.  The power to tax is the power to destroy.

Taxes, any taxes, if you knew the reality of our present situation you wouldn’t talk so foolish as to require any such illegality.  According to the law there isn’t supposed to be any taxes unless they are apportioned (PERIOD!).  There will come a time where people will have to decide between the Constitution and Socialism, or more precisely freedom or the chains and bondage of the Socialist Welfare Police State.  It has come to that.  Unfortunately the Government did not see fit to educate our population, meaning you and me, in school so that we understood our great American heritage, freedom, liberty and the wealth that generates forth from it.  Instead our Government deemed it more important for us to learn liberal arts and so that is our children’s curriculum.  So here we sit with freedom (which means FREEDOM from Government) slipping from our grasp, day by day, by day, as The Federal Reserve System programs our minds to believe what isn’t while they steal our money, our property and our rights just as surely as The Matrix in the movie sucked out power out of the cerebral cortexes of millions upon millions of humans housed in multi-levels of vats and replace that energy with programming to make us think things that just don’t exist in the real world because the Dollar, as we think of it, does not exist; as proven by the fact that they are “NOTES” and the fact that they are only supported by about 4 cents per dollar.  This is the reason the dollar has been collapsing over the last year and why it will continue to collapse over time.  – - Unless The Federal Reserve is successful in creating and passing the North American Union, where they can add hundreds of millions of Canadian and Mexican taxpayers to the socialist slavery vats of the Matrix to pay for the cost of running and programming The Matrix.  With out the NAU The Matrix will not be able to even handle the weight and pressure of trying to control every single American and The Federal Government and this is the very reason why “The Matrix” is oscillating right now as I write this e-mail to you.  It is on the verge of collapse because it is under such stress trying to control our entire country and every living soul there in.  That is the factual and true reason for the collapse of Bear Stearns, multiple banks and perhaps Freddy Mac and Freddy May.  If they do not pass the NAU soon The Matrix and The Federal Reserve System will collapse.  This, in the longgggg run will provide once again our individual freedom and eventually the return of individual prosperity.  The worst thing that could happen would be if The Federal Reserve succeeds in their attempt to force the NAU down our “collective” throats; because that will be the end of our unique American culture, our freedom and the American dream.

Forget taxes, go for enforcement of the Constitution to the very meaning, spirit and intent as meant on the day of its drafting.  For without that we and our posterity will suffer a fate far too horrible to comprehend.  To ignore these facts is to welcome and exacerbate the imminent result.

Yes I will put your request in my blog, because it is a miniscule step in the right direction, but you need to realize the full scope of this vast problem and you need to realize that we are going to have to fight, hopefully peacefully, for our freedom by way of The Constitution which is the only thing standing in the way of the megalomaniacal Socialist / Communist members and “One World Government” of The Federal Reserve and the Trilateral Commission of which they are the leaders.

The Matrix is a system, Mr. Culling. The Federal Reserve System.  That system is our enemy. But when you’re inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.  The Matrix, the belief that the Dollar has paid for everything in your existence including your wages and/or salary, is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work… when you go to church… when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.  The Federal Reserve is in control of every single thing. What could a private company that collects every single nickel of our income taxes do with those assets created by the hard work of the American people and small businesses?  That is the reason why income taxes, unless apportioned, are illegal as written by our founding fathers.  They foresaw all of this.

Mr. Cullen, I am trying to free your mind, but you are the one that has to walk through the door.  Have you ever had a dream, Mr. Cullen, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?  Welcome to the real world.  We all, every one of us, owns nothing.  And nothing, in our lifetimes, has been paid for, with the minor exception of those who used “Silver Certificates” which were backed by real Silver Bullion in an attempt by the courageous President John F. Kennedy to rid our country of its Federal Reserve Masters.  And you know what happened to him, only five months after signing the Executive order for Congress to obey The Constitution and mint and coin money in the form of Silver Certificates which would have eventually spelled the end of The Federal Reserve System, “The Matrix”, BIG Government, and the Social Security and Medicare problem because it would have been “stepped down” in an orderly fashion at the best time possible, resulting in posterity, us, being able to avoid the imminent combination Civil / RE-Revolutionary War to restore The Constitution to full force and effect as intended in spirit and affect as it was on the day of its drafting by a committee of our Founding Fathers, God bless them.  For it will become, thank God, a choice between true freedom from the Federal Government for all, or 70 – 80% payroll withholding taxes and massive energy cost due to The Federal Reserve controlling Congress to prevent us from drilling and harvesting our own vast volumes of energy resources so that we will become so financially and spiritually weakened they “think” we will succumb to the Final Demand.  And what then?

  If you and I have the courage to tell our elected officials that we want our national policy based upon what we know in our hearts is morally right. We cannot buy our security, our freedom from the threat of Socialism by committing an immorality so great as saying to Three Hundred Million now in slavery in “The Matrix” program of The Federal Reserve System, “Give up your dreams of freedom because to save our own skin, we are willing to make a deal with your slave masters.” Alexander Hamilton said, “A nation which can prefer disgrace to danger is prepared for a master, and deserves one.” Let’s set the record straight. There is no argument over the choice between peace and war, but there is only one guaranteed way you can have peace–and you can have it in the next second–surrender.

Admittedly there is a risk in any course we follow other than this, but every lesson in history tells us that the greater risk lies in appeasement, and this is the specter our well-meaning liberal friends refuse to face–that their policy of accommodation is appeasement, and it gives no choice between peace and war, only between fight and surrender. If we continue to accommodate, continue to back and retreat, eventually we have to face the final demand–the ultimatum. And what then? When Barack Obama has told his people he knows what our answer will be? He has told them that we are retreating under the pressure of high energy costs and taxation that he and his cohorts such as Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, Congressman Steve Kagen, Senator Harry Reid, Senator Herbert Kohl and the majority of the Democrats have chained us with, and someday when the time comes to deliver the ultimatum, our surrender will be voluntary because by that time we will have weakened from within spiritually, morally, and economically. He believes this because from our side he has heard voices pleading for “peace at any price” or “better Red than dead,” or as one commentator put it, he would rather “live on his knees than die on his feet.” And therein lies the road to war, because those voices don’t speak for the rest of us. You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery. If nothing in life is worth dying for, when did this begin–just in the face of this enemy? Or should Moses have told the children of Israel to live in slavery under the pharaohs? Should Christ have refused the cross? Should the patriots at Concord Bridge have thrown down their guns and refused to fire the shot heard ’round the world? The martyrs of history were not fools, and our honored dead who gave their lives to stop the advance of the Nazis didn’t die in vain. Where, then, is the road to peace? Well, it’s a simple answer after all.

You and I have the courage to say to our enemies, “There is a price we will not pay.” There is a point beyond which they must not advance. This is the meaning in the phrase of “peace through individual strength.” Winston Churchill said that “the destiny of man is not measured by material computation. When great forces, like the privately held Federal Reserve Corporation, are on the move in the world, we learn we are spirits–not animals.” And he said, “There is something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty.”

You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on Earth, or we will sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness.

We will keep in mind and remember that divine providence and faith in the creator who has bestowed us with certain unalienable rights stands with us in defiance of those who would rob us of what we have been bequeathed.

Capt. Karl and the First Mate have written the following letter to our representatives, Congressman Steve Kagen, Senator Russ Feingold, Senator Herbert Kohl, and President Bush.  You are welcome to copy any part of or this entire letter and send it to your representatives.

We must get back control over our Government before we lose the last remaining remnants of our freedom (from Government and massive debilitating taxation).

Letter to Congressman Steve Kagen, Senator Russ Feingold, Senator Herbert Kohl, and President Bush:

I have predicted this national financial crisis for 2 years. We know that while all the reasons for the financial crisis that we have heard, like sub-prime mortgages and bad loans, are valid we also know that the foundational essence causing these is the fact that the Federal Government has behaved and engaged in unconstitutional actions since the inception of The Federal Reserve Act of 1913, which has resulted in a usurpation of freedom and our power over government.  This tyranny and despotism in the hands of both houses of the U.S. Congress has got to come to an end.

To resolve this problem we MUST totally REVERSE the Governmental trends that placed us in this position.  The Government must respect and completely obey the LAW to the very word, spirit, intent and meaning of The Constitution as it was meant at the time of its drafting by Thomas Jefferson as edited by John Adams and Benjamin Franklin.

We The People are willing, I believe, to egregiously suffer for a few years to see the Federal Government REVERSE ALL UNCONSTITUTIONAL LEGISLATION AND GROWTH so that it is nothing more than an agent of the independent states as per the ENUMERATED powers provided there in.  That only congress directly coin and mint money and determine the value there of.

No matter what happens this is the only cure to the problem. We fix this now or later, but if we are to keep our freedom we must take our spoon of medicine.  Let the Economic Stabilization Act Die and CHANGE Government to FULLY COMPORT to the intent and spirit of the constitution.

************************************************************

If the Government refuses to obey the law, I and many hundreds of thousands of us will be willing to demonstrate against the lawless in both Houses of Congress!  We are NOT going to let them tax us to death, force our expenses, bills and energy costs to go so high we can not afford it and we WILL NOT LET THEM TAKE AWAY OUR FREEDOM (from Government) as was intended by the numerous volumes of writings and documents by our Founding Fathers starting with The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution of The United States of America. 

Have you read the Constitution and the Declaration?  If not you would be SHOCKED as to how things are supposed to be and how Congress has changed our situation, unconstitutionally, on us.  You must read these documents and the various writings of our Founding Fathers so that you really and fully understand what freedom really means and how our lives and power OVER our Servant Governments (but in a Republic sense for pure Democracy is true Socialism or Communism where 51% vote to control and steal money from the other 49%), State and Federal, are supposed to be.
