For many weeks, we have been looking at what we realistically
might do to save our country from the totalitarian dictatorship
that is rapidly suppressing it. We have seen that to have any
hope of doing so we must recognize the cause: the conspiracy
for world government. Presently, we are demonstrating why that
recognition is so important, and we chose an issue for the purpose:
the sodomite explosion.
We chose that issue because it is so much in the news. We could
just as well have chosen the federal income tax. A few days
ago, the income tax was in the news again, or, rather, it should
have been. It should have been banner headlines across the country
- but it wasn’t. Because you are reading these profundities
at Etherzone.com, you probably already know what I am talking
about, but my guess is that few other Americans do, because
it goes without saying that the Communist News Network, the
Communist Broadcasting System, all the news that’s print to
fit and so on, have not given it the coverage it deserves.
I refer of course to the fact that, in Memphis, the federal
government tried a lady named Vernice Kuglin on charges of tax
evasion - filing false W-4 forms - and lost. Miss Kuglin is
a pilot for Federal Express. Some years ago, she began wondering
what law required her to pay income tax. She couldn’t find it
in the Internal Revenue Code, so, in 1995, she wrote IRS and
asked them to tell her.
The Internal Revenue Service refused. They did not respond.
The more she studied, the more she became convinced that the
reason they failed to respond was that the law did not require
her to pay. So, she put 99 allowances on her W-4, and took home
(almost) all her wages.
Our friends at IRS said she had lied, and charged her with
six felony counts of tax evasion on $920,000 of income, enough
to put Miss Kuglin away for as long as 30 years. She is 58 now,
so in effect she faced a life sentence, and could have had to
pay $1.5 million in fines. It is important to note that our
friends at IRS prepare these cases very carefully. They don’t
take one into court unless they know they will win. In a case
like this, involving serious money, they do everything they
can to incite the jurors’ envy. They constantly refer to the
defendant’s "fair share."
On August 8, 2003, in Memphis, despite all this, the jury acquitted
Miss Kuglin of all charges. They said IRS had not proved the
lady was required to pay the tax. After the verdict, frustrated
prosecutor Joe Murphy asked the judge to order Miss Kuglin to
pay it. The judge replied, "Sir, I don’t work for IRS."
By then Murphy may have been too mentally taxed to remember
that, after the verdict, there was no legal basis for the judge
to issue such an order, even if he does work for IRS.
Notice that there are many taxes in the Internal Revenue Code.
Our friends at IRS have no trouble citing the Code section -
the law - that requires a "taxpayer" to pay each one.
Except the income tax. With regard to the income tax alone,
they are tongue-tied. Why? Wouldn’t they quash the controversy
and kamikaze pilots like Miss Kuglin, simply by stating the
Code section that applies?
Yes, they would; they don’t ‘cause there ain’t. There is no
such section. That doesn’t mean the income tax is illegal or
unconstitutional. It doesn’t mean there is no such tax. There
is, and the people it applies to need to pay it, but it applies
to very few people, like most of the taxes in the Internal Revenue
Code.
What the law requires you to do every year - and our friends
at IRS say so themselves - is determine whether you are one
of those people. You alone know that, because you alone know
what you did last year. Did you make and sell liquor last year?
Then you must pay the liquor tax. If you made and sold no liquor,
forget it. You don’t owe the tax.
To conceal that fact, litigious prevaricators (lawyers) with
advanced degrees in obfuscation have deliberately written the
income tax into the Code in as confusing a manner as possible,
to make it incomprehensible to the normal mind; and our dear
friends at IRS use the uncertainty that confusion engenders
to intimidate and literally to threaten Americans into voluntarily
paying a tax the law does not require them to pay.
What does the law say? There are two kinds of federal taxes,
only two: direct and indirect. There is no third kind of federal
tax. The law - the Constitution - says that all federal taxes
must be one or the other. In Brushaber v. Union Pacific (240
US 1), in 1915, the US Supreme Court ruled that the income tax
is legal (constitutional), but that it is an indirect tax.
Indeed, in Stanton v. Baltic Mining (240 US 103), just a year
later, the same judges said the same thing and added that their
previous ruling, in Brushaber, created "no new power of
taxation." In other words, Brushaber limited the federal
government’s power to tax rather than expand it; limited it
by forcefully explaining where that power could not reach. Nothing
had changed since the Court ruled the income tax unconstitutional
in 1894, in Pollock v. Farmers’ Loan & Trust (158 US 601).
The trouble with the tax today is that our friends at IRS are
administering it illegally as a direct tax, which the Supreme
Court forbade. That is the secret they don’t want you to know.
Because I am trying to inform, not obfuscate, I am happy to
add that this explanation is necessarily quite simplified, maybe
even oversimplified, because of space - but it is true.
For more information, one of many things you could look at
is my book, TaxScam: How IRS Swindles You and What You Can Do
About It, which your Intrepid Correspondent wrote as a guest
of the federal government, all expenses paid, without the help
of Matthew Lesko. Go to www.stangbooks.com and click on non-fiction.
Patriotic Americans hearing about all this for the first time,
often worry. Without the income tax, would the government collapse?
The answer is to ask yourself when the government began. Let’s
say 1784. When did the income tax begin? Nineteen thirteen.
Between 1784 and 1913, there were 129 years. For many of those
years, there were no internal taxes at all! Yet, just before
the illegal income tax of 1894, the big problem in Congress
was the "Surplus Monster." Tax money was pouring in
and Congress didn’t know what to do with it. See the cartoon
from Puck, the comic weekly, in TaxScam.
Indeed, when income tax withholding took effect "temporarily"
in 1942, the federal government was still collecting more in
alcohol and tobacco taxes than it was in individual income taxes.
Can you name a year between 1784 and 1942 when the government
collapsed? I’m willing to compromise. Name a couple of months.
No income tax was needed, because during most of those years
the government was restricted to the few activities the Constitution
allows.
Because of verdicts like Kuglin, pressure to abolish the income
tax will grow. Legislators and others will devise schemes like
sales taxes, guaranteed to produce the same revenue the income
tax yields now. Ask yourself why the federal government should
continue to receive the enormous swag it gouges from us now.
Along these lines, where did the income tax come from? Isn’t
it the second step to Communism listed by Marx in the Communist
Manifesto? Marx thought that the only step to Communism more
important than the income tax was government control of "all
property in land." Sure enough, we now can see why he thought
the income tax was so crucial to Communism.
Among its purposes is the destruction of the middle class that
pays it. As you will see in TaxScam from the mouth of the Conspiracy
itself, the main purpose of the income tax is to reduce the
destructive, inflationary effects of the funny money printed
by the Federal Reserve. The income tax does that by removing
purchasing power from the economy, via "temporary"
withholding.
So now we know that the income tax didn’t "just happen."
It isn’t just a scheme to raise funds. It’s a tool of the conspiracy
for world government. Did you know all this before? If not,
and if you now have a totally different take on the income tax,
you now also see why it is supremely important to call it what
it is: a conspiracy.
We are talking about what we can realistically do to save America.
When your obedient servant went nose to nose with IRS, I was
charged only with a few misdemeanors, failing to file a particular
form; no big deal. Miss Kuglin laid her life on the line. She
faced 30 (thirty) years in prison, plus a huge fine. Apparently
she refused to take a lesser plea.
I have not yet had the honor and pleasure of meeting the lady.
I am sure she is as feminine as a lady can be. So I am not talking
about her when I say that to do what she did would take cojones
as big as bowling balls, and I don’t know many men that brave.
I certainly have nothing against Jessica Lynch. That innocent,
little lady was used and abused by Iraq and the United States,
which to its everlasting shame is promoting women in combat.
But kamikaze pilot Vernice Kuglin is in fact the heroine the
media have been trying to make poor Jessica. Banzai!
