You're this close to getting ready to chase the American dream. So let me get this shit straight. Bitch, you're going to tax my whole check. Give me what's left. Then I'm gonna spend that on something and you're gonna text me again for spending money that was already taxed.
And after I buy something, I have to pay taxes on that or else you're going to take it from me because I didn't pay taxes. Yes. And if you do that real hard and just pull up on your bootstraps with all your might, you will make it in this country. Bro, that sounds like some fucking bullshit. If I got to pay taxes on anything that exists forever, anytime, always every day, or else I fucking get my shit took or go to prison, do I own anything?
No. Y'all don't own shit. It's just a big lending system. We own everything and we just sell you the illusion that you got some. You don't have shit.

Speaker 0: What happens if

Speaker 3: What is being sold to the American people today as Americanism. If you peel off the label, you find so much similarity to what we were fighting against when we were fighting communism And Nazi is in in fashion.
Speaker 4: The government's now putting a national ID card together.
Speaker 5: We will be carrying our papers, and they have recommended there'll be checkpoints, throughout the country. Some type of a physical proof such as fingerprints or retinal prints have to be on it.
Speaker 1: Desires of the people really have no consequence. They go out
Speaker 3: and they vote. It doesn't make any difference which candidate they elect.
Speaker 6: Mister Curtis, Are there programs that can be used to secretly fix selections? Yes.
Speaker 7: This is absolutely Orwellian. I mean, it's talking about big brother looking over your shoulder at absolutely everything you
Speaker 8: There is no constitutional basis for a tax on the wages is of Americans living and working in the 50 states of the union. Period.
Speaker 9: End of argument. If Americans just learned that the IRS was actually knowingly Deceiving them, that would be enough for them to rise up and put a stop
Speaker 4: to it.
Speaker 10: You've caught me unprepared. I'll come back.
Speaker 11: No. I don't wanna do
Speaker 12: There had
Speaker 4: to be a law. Right?
Speaker 13: Where is the law? Show me the law.
Speaker 4: Why is the Supreme Court decision in the city on there?
Speaker 11: And I think we're finished.

Speaker 14: Can a microscopic tag being planted in a person's body to track his every movement. You will rule on that. Mark my words.
Speaker 3: A chip and everybody would be the Universal Monetary System par excellence, because there'd be no from it.
Speaker 15: Americans have been taught to expect their salvation from government instead of recognizing government as a as the most dangerous threat they'll face in their lives.
Speaker 16: It is the greatest hopes ever perpetrated by government against the working men and women of America.
Speaker 3: It's organized Prime. All you do is you call the republicans, the and you call the democrats, the
Speaker 4: The year was 1913. Woodrow Wilson was president, and powerful banking interests who had been trying for years Finally achieved their long term goal of a silent coup d'etat by taking control of the American government. The first thing they did to accomplish their takeover was convince secretary of state Philander Knox To lie to the American people and tell them that the 16th amendment, the income tax amendment, had been legally ratified by the states When it was not, the bankers knew that this tax would ultimately end up in their pockets. Because of this fraud, The American people were led to believe there was now a tax on their labor. Congress and the president are completely aware of this fraud, And it was even cited in a recent court case.
That very same year, the bankers committed their 2nd and by far most diabolical fraud ever perpetrated on the American people by bribing senators to pass the Federal Reserve Act without the required constitutional amendment.
Speaker 3: All in favor say aye.
Speaker 4: They did this during Christmas vacation when many senators were home celebrating the holidays with their families. And that's how the unconstitutional Federal Reserve Act came into being. They were very clever, and they understood that whoever issued the money for America would control the government. The bankers won, and the American people lost because most politicians We'll sell their soul for a dollar. And now the fellow reserve could issue dollars legally.
As mayor Rothschild said, give me control of a nation's money supply, and I care not who makes its laws. He knew that he and the other bankers would now control the laws of the nation. Government gave these bankers one of its most important powers, and now had to borrow money from them and pay interest to finance the government. So the American People were forced to lower their standard of living and pay a graduated income tax to the government just so the government could give these bankers More profits. President Woodrow Wilson, who signed the Federal Reserve Act into law, Later said in regret, I am a most unhappy man.
I have unwittingly Ruin my country. A great industrial nation is now controlled by its system of credit. We are no longer a government by free opinion, No longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and the rest of a small group for dominant men.
Speaker 17: The Federal Reserve was created by Congress in 1913, and it was trusted with the power granted originally to the Congress by the US Constitution to coin money and regulate the value thereof.
Speaker 4: What's your name?
Speaker 18: Jan.
Speaker 4: Hi, Jan. I'm Aaron Russo. I produced the movie trailer
Speaker 18: Is this a No.
Speaker 4: No. That's not a joke. No. No. No.
No. No. I produced the movie Trading Places with Eddie Murphy and The Rose with Bette Midler. Many movies, and I'm doing a feature film. And, my film is about my quest to find out whether or not people pay income taxes.
Do you pay an income tax?
Speaker 18: Yes, I do. You do.
Speaker 3: Have you
Speaker 4: ever seen a law that requires you to pay an income tax?
Speaker 18: Have I ever read it? Do you mean And the page is black and white? No. No.
Speaker 4: So you paid the income tax, I assume? Of late. Well, actually, no, I didn't file last year, but, I'm sorry. Is this on film? No.
I've paid my tax. My question to you is, have you ever seen a law that says you have to pay an income tax?
Speaker 3: The law is that guy that can't wear that badge and a gun. That's the one that puts you in jail. That's Hello?
Speaker 4: Actually, I can't stand the IRS. Okay. They're evil.
Speaker 18: Do you
Speaker 4: have any fear of the IRS?
Speaker 19: Not not really because I'm Canadian.
Speaker 18: I think it's actually unconstitutional is what I've heard. But, But to avoid any hassle, I pay it
Speaker 17: If there was known law and I wasn't afraid of them coming and taking me to jail, absolutely, I wouldn't pay taxes.
Speaker 18: Okay. Then, no, I wouldn't pay income taxes.
Speaker 3: It's a no brainer. You wouldn't pay it.
Speaker 20: I wouldn't pay it.
Speaker 9: Why would anybody?
Speaker 4: Because they you know, that's that's what they tell us. We must do us. Bad Americans.
Speaker 3: Would you pay it? No. Would you pay it?
Speaker 4: No. How would you pay taxes if you're an actor?
Speaker 3: The income tax is not legal because it would be a direct tax and it is not apportioned as the Constitution demands.
Speaker 20: If it's against the constitution, then why are we doing
Speaker 21: I really expected that, of course, there's a law that you can point to in the law book, the code that requires you to file a tax return. Of course there is. I mean, I don't know what it is right then as we as he was speaking to me, but Sure. So naively, I agreed to go off and research it and get back to him. Three and a half months later, I was at that point where I couldn't Find the statute that clearly made a person liable, at least not me and, most people I know.
And I had no no choice in my mind except to to resign.
Speaker 9: I had to leave the IRS because I presented evidence that I had accumulated indicating that the agency was Violating the law and violating people's rights. And I asked the agency for a response to my sincere concerns. And the answer I got was that they would not respond to my concerns, and that they would, Provide me with the paperwork necessary to tender my resignation.
Speaker 13: The We The People Foundation For Constitutional Education put a full page ad in the USA Today on July 7, 2000. And within the body of that ad was a $50,000 challenge for anyone that could show the law. And to me, $50,000 is a lot of money. So I went after that and did the research based on the fact that I thought, let's put this baby to bed. I'm hearing all these rumors.
You know, I'm gonna kill 2 birds with 1 stone. I'll answer these people's questions they're asking me, and then I'll win this $50,000. And, you know, based on the research that I did throughout the year 2000 and that I'm still doing, I have not found that law. I've asked, Congress, we've asked A lot of people in the IRS, IRS commissioners, helpers, they can't answer because if they answer, the American people are gonna know that this whole thing is a fraud.
Speaker 4: I was surprised to hear these highly trained and decorated IRS agents telling me there was no law requiring American citizens To file a 10 40 or to pay an income tax on their labor.
Speaker 21: I haven't, filed an income federal income tax return since I left.
Speaker 13: I have not filed a tax return since 1999. Approximately 67,000,000 people don't file income tax return.
Speaker 4: I made a decision to go to Washington so I could attend the We The People Foundation press conference. They were going to serve a class action lawsuit on the IRS Signed by over 3,000 people because the IRS has refused to show the law that makes Americans liable to file a 10 40 or to pay an income tax on their labor. I was very curious as to why the IRS refused to show the law, as it seemed such a simple thing to do. Yet I was skeptical about the foundation's claims. There had to be a law.
Right? I mean, we've well been told over and over and over again That we had to pay income taxes.
Speaker 16: Most people believe that the income tax system is legal, and that the revenue from the tax is used in the public interest. However, there is a substantial conclusive body of evidence that proves that our income tax system represents the most pernicious form of tyranny. It is the greatest hopes ever perpetrated by government against the working men and women of America.
Speaker 22: American citizens, Along with the foundation, I've been asking the IRS to specifically provide them with the the underlying legal foundation upon which they administer and enforce the personal income tax laws in our country.
Speaker 21: At the national level, when people would attempt to contact somebody of a much higher authority, Say the cons the commissioner, same kind of thing. They wouldn't get they would get answers that were, in effect, nonanswers.
Speaker 23: There are a group of people standing outside today who, assert that no law requires to pay taxes and that you will not answer their petition to the government, As to whether they're required
Speaker 8: to pay taxes, are they required to pay taxes?
Speaker 24: I've been paying my taxes ever since I had my 1st job. And I think It's a fundamental construct of our nation that those of us who expect and demand the services from our government that the government provides be they the protection of our country Through the military or be they the education of our children or be they the protection of our environment that we must pay for those services. So yes, I think there is a fundamental obligation and that it's an understood and well accepted one.
Speaker 16: Joe Bannister and I had a meeting in the White House with president Clinton's economic adviser, Jason Furman. He accepted the remonstrance for the president. On June 2nd, I called and spoke with him. His words were, we have decided that the issue of the legality of the income tax is not a high priority matter for the White House, and we will not be participating in any conference on the subject. I decided not to eat until My death or until the government agreed to send their experts To meet with the experts from the tax honesty movement and with the help of congressman Bartlett, A deal was made.
Speaker 25: I'm very pleased that through these several trying weeks and now months That we have secured the agreement of the IRS and the Justice Department because some of the questions are beyond the purview of IRS That they will both attend a public symposium where these issues can be formally, addressed.
Speaker 16: Last Thanksgiving, DOJ and IRS notified congressman Bartlett that they would not participate. Congressman Bartlett then waited until late January. He informed me That he would not be participating.
Speaker 26: Why do you think
Speaker 20: you've been able to get away with not paying or filing your income taxes for so long?
Speaker 9: Well, first of all, I've not gotten away with anything. I'm not hiding from anyone. I'm simply asking the IRS to show me the laws that Apparently require me to do these things, and they are suspiciously, reticent to answer questions Questions from me, and of course, there are millions of other people, many other organizations who have attempted to get answers. They act very viciously when asked to simply sit down at the table with the American people and discuss what their obligations are. Rather than pulling up a chair, they pull out a club.
Speaker 4: As a matter of fact, David k. Johnston of The New York Times asked Terry Lemons of the IRS, Why won't the IRS answer the questions set forth in the petitions from the American people? Mister Lemmon's response was, The government is answering the questions through enforcement actions in the courts.
Speaker 22: This is a very chilling remark On the government's use of brute force instead of civility and logic. The federal government itself refuses to provide the American people, who are coercively being subjected to this extraction of their private property without any underlying legal justification. There is no law There is no law that requires the average American worker in the private sector to pay a direct unapportion tax on their labor in compensation for services. There is no law. The
Speaker 16: March will stop in front of the IRS building.
Speaker 4: They are now going to serve a class action lawsuit on the IRS. Very courageous.
Speaker 22: My name is Charles Bell. I'm here to serve this complaint on behalf of the American people for the Internal Revenue Service. The Complaint is accompanied by an affidavit. It's, under the hand of, Robert Schultz.
Speaker 16: Case was served. We'll call you with the
Speaker 3: case number. Case has been filed. We'll call you with the case number.
Speaker 27: Thank Thank you.
Speaker 22: Okay. Thank you. We appreciate your time.
Speaker 3: America, baby. Freedom.
Speaker 22: Today, effectively, the people have said to their servant government that, that our rights are not going to be any longer denied and that we're gonna have answers to our petition, our legitimate lawful petitions for redress of grievances, which are guaranteed in the first amendment to our constitution. So once and for all, we will get an answer.
Speaker 4: On August 31, 2005, federal judge Emmett Sullivan ruled, The government does not have to answer the American people's questions even though it is guaranteed in the first amendment. Our courts have made a decision that government does not have to show the law that it enforces, and the press never reported on this. Have we given this judge the authority to overrule the constitution, the very foundation of American life?
Speaker 2: I believe that in both spirit and substance, our tax system has come to be un American. Death and taxes may be inevitable, but unjust taxes are not.
Speaker 3: The country's taxes must be fixed, and I know what to do with it. If you think you're paying too much now, just wait till I get
Speaker 28: Now, mister Hamley, I'd like to ask you some What did the government do with all the money we give them in taxes?
Speaker 8: When president Reagan was elected, one of the first things that he did was a Point a blue ribbon panel of of business people headed by Peter Grace, and is commonly referred to as the Grace Commission. And they their job was to research, all the various areas of the federal government and make a report. One of the quotes from the Grace Commission is 100% of what is collected is absorbed solely by interest on the federal debt. All individual income tax revenues are gone before 1 nickel spent on the services taxpayers expect from government.
Speaker 28: If we pay the salaries of the congressmen and the senators, we're supporting them, aren't we?
Speaker 3: Well, yes.
Speaker 28: Yes. Well, then why can't we list them as dependents and deduct them?
Speaker 8: We've been brainwashed. People have been told, you know, that you need this income tax system to fund government, which is absolutely ridiculous. I mean, my question is, well, if that's true, How did we fund government from 17/76 to 19 13?
Speaker 3: The main purpose of the income tax is not to raise revenue, but to redistribute wealth and to control society. A lot of people might say, well, gee, if there wasn't an income tax, what would happen to education? They don't understand That education is paid for, for the most part, out of state and local taxes, your property tax. People might say, well, how are we going to build and maintain our highways if there's no money Coming into the government, we need our highways. There is a tax on every gallon of gasoline that people buy.
Proceeds from the income tax do not pay for highway construction, the amount of money that we spend on defense is exactly equal to the amount of corporate income tax, which is quite legal and quite constitutional. I think we should not want the income tax for several reasons. One is that It is the instrument of totalitarianism. It is the means by which the government can manipulate people and puts you into a condition of of servitude.
Speaker 29: Every year, you give the federal government a form that says, here's how all my money worked. If you lie, you could go to prison. So you're required to give them a financial statement that under, You know, the force of law could put you in prison if it's not impeccable, right? And under the law, they're supposed to do the They're supposed to give you back a financial statement that says, here's what we did with your money, except you comply and they don't. In fiscal, 99, the Department of Defense had $1,100,000,000,000 of undocumented adjustments.
The following year, they had 2.3 trillion of undocumentable adjustments
Speaker 4: I decided to call the IRS. I spoke to Anthony Burke in Media Relations. He was very nice to me and I explained to him that I was an award winning film producer then I was doing a documentary on the IRS. He seemed a bit stunned by this, then explained to me that Commission Iveson nor anybody else We'd go on film to discuss the income tax, but he did say he would call me back. I thanked him for that, but I couldn't help wondering, Why was the government making it so difficult for people to see the law?
So I decided to bring my crew down to the IRS building to see if I could find some employees to interview. And here's what happened.
Speaker 30: I mean, you get out through me. That's it.
Speaker 4: Who who who who are you to tell me I can't film here? What's the law? Just tell me where the law is that says that. Can you show me the law that says I can't film here? Is America a free country?
I
Speaker 31: told them
Speaker 30: they couldn't film here, and He's asking 9,000,000 questions. I told him that's a federal government law. Hey. I told him he could film here. He's telling me he's a citizen, all that story.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna kill him and say, where's the lord that says I can't film here? Hang on. I'm asking doing I'm asking another question, sir. Then Homeland Security showed up because I was such a threat to Washington.
Speaker 30: You got a driving license up?
Speaker 12: Yeah. I do. Put that away from me.
Speaker 4: After convincing Homeland Security, I really wasn't Osama bin Laden. I kept wishing the IRS would allow me to interview somebody. Why wouldn't they show the law? What were they so nervous about? I began to have a frightening thought.
What if it was our own government we had to be afraid of? With that disturbing thought in my mind, I went to see a group of tax experts.
Speaker 32: You can look through the statutes and look for the law that requires you to pay. And when you do that, you can't identify a law that requires the average 1st in America who earns a wage and works in private business to pay an income tax.
Speaker 33: The constitution allows for 2 kinds of taxes. They're called direct and indirect.
Speaker 12: The federal government in the constitution can tax almost anything, as long as it apportions the tax if it's direct.
Speaker 32: The indirect tax is, for example, an excise tax. I can avoid the excise tax on gasoline. I can choose to ride my bicycle. I can avoid the excise tax on tobacco. I can choose not to smoke, or I can grow my own tobacco.
Speaker 34: The income tax which is being applied now doesn't meet the criteria of either Direct or indirect taxes.
Speaker 4: The IRS claims that in 1913, the 16th Amendment, the income tax amendment allowed the government a third form of taxation. What was the Supreme Court's ruling on that?
Speaker 12: The Supreme Court in the case of Stanton versus Baltic Mining. I mean, what could be clearer than this? The provisions of the 16th Amendment conferred no new power of taxation.
Speaker 34: The Rucheauber case also said that the 16th amendment did not impose any new taxes and did not change any of the taxing restrictions of the constitution.
Speaker 22: There were also other major Supreme Court cases in that same period from 1916 up until about 1923,
Speaker 12: Stratton Independence versus Hobart, Southern Pacific versus Loeb, Bowers versus
Speaker 8: Kurbo Empire, Burnett versus Harnell, Doyle versus Mitchell. It's actually very simple. Congress tried to enact an income tax in 18/94. The Supreme Court said that's unconstitutional. When the Supreme Court says something is unconstitutional, it's unconstitutional.
They tried again in 1913 and the Supreme said the 16th Amendment conferred no new power of taxation. So if they didn't have it then and they didn't get it, they don't have it. There is no constitutional basis for a tax on the wages of Americans living and working in the 50 states of the union. Period. End of argument.
Speaker 35: I have a letter here from Daniel Inouye's office of the United States Senate that says based on the research Formed by the Congressional Research Service, there is no provisions which specifically and unequivocally require an individual to pay an income tax, Period. End of story. There is no law. And to date, nobody has been able to show that there is a law for the average American citizen working day in and day out to pay an income tax.
Speaker 1: The definition of income In the constitution was given in the Eisner versus Montgomery case, and it turns on gains or profits that are made from some activity.
Speaker 12: Doyle v. Mitchell, 247 US 179, 1918, here's what he said. The idea of gain or increase arising from corporate activities. In other words, it doesn't mean wages, it doesn't mean dividends, it doesn't mean alimony. It means a gain or a profit arising from corporate activity.
Speaker 8: These liens that are recorded against people by the government for tax liens are nothing more than allegations. They are non substantive. They have never been determined by a neutral third party, such as a court to have one shred of validity.
Speaker 35: If you ever get a notice of a of of an audit or anything else, the first thing you should do is a Freedom of Information Act request For records that they're using to substantiate or justify the audit.
Speaker 12: There is nothing in the Internal Revenue Code that creates any such thing as an income tax evasion or crime. There's nothing in a code that allows IRS agents to seize property. The government is involved in judicial blackmail. The government knows that if it legally seizes somebody's property, that person doesn't have the funds and he can't even get a lawyer Who can help them?
Speaker 36: I conducted investigations in the title 18, the criminal code, the US criminal code. And in there, the statutes and the regulations are very specific as to what is violating the statute. And the Internal Revenue Code Title 26, There's nothing specific in there. I mean, even the FBI's fear of the IRS.
Speaker 34: You have to understand that an agency which will Unlawfully impose a tax that doesn't exist, it's not gonna care. If we, the people, Don't know what our rights are. They're not gonna tell us.
Speaker 9: If Americans just learned that the IRS was actually knowingly deceiving them, that that enough that would be enough for them to rise up and put a stop to it.
Speaker 34: This small booklet Includes the Constitution of the United States, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence. This is a document that every Citizens should read. It's a document which freed an entire nation. This is the internal revenue code. And, this document, and it, the unlawful application of this document by the Internal Revenue Service, has enslaved the nation that this document attempted to free.
Speaker 4: I was very impressed with the people in the tax and honesty movement. They were on kooks. They were highly intelligent, well researched, and very genuine. I was wondering why I never heard about all these Supreme Court decisions in the media. So I really wanted the IRS's point of view.
Because to get the true story, it was imperative if I hear both sides. I kept wishing Anthony Burke would call me back. He seemed like an honest man. I then proceeded to call my message machine.
Speaker 37: Hi. This message is for Aaron Russo. This is Anthony Burke at the Internal Revenue Service. Let me, suggest, Some people that you might want to think about talking to. One would be Don Alexander, who's a former commissioner who's here in town in Washington.
Another would be Sheldon Cohen, who is both a former commissioner and former chief counsel. All those guys I think can answer Question about, you know, where in the tax law it says that you have to pay taxes.
Speaker 4: Wow. Good news, I thought. So I called Sheldon Cohn because he used to be the IRS commissioner, he wrote the tax code, and he was also general counsel to the IRS. He is a true expert, And I couldn't find a better person to answer my questions. He graciously agreed to my interview.
The reason I'm doing this documentary It's because there are many people in America today who believe that there's no law that requires them to pay an income tax or file a 10.40. And there are many people going to jail for it, fighting over it.
Speaker 11: The Internal Revenue Code is authorized by the 16th Amendment.
Speaker 4: Think it should be clarified. I don't I think government should be transparent to the people. Why doesn't the IRS commissioner sit down with them and just explain it in clear English Why I
Speaker 11: don't think they really care. They all think I thought I think they're just playing word games.
Speaker 3: You don't
Speaker 4: think they're sincere people? No.
Speaker 11: I don't think they're sincere people.
Speaker 4: What does voluntary compliance mean? And what does the IRS code say it's voluntary to comply, not mandatory?
Speaker 11: That's a word euphemism we use. We we use voluntary compliance when we when we when we talk about traffic signals. Most people At 2 o'clock in the morning, do you stop at a red light? Yeah. Is there a cop there?
Speaker 4: Sometimes I don't. I do. I do. Well and most of
Speaker 11: us do. Most of us do, but that's voluntary compliance.
Speaker 4: That was a complete perversion of logic. Traffic laws state that it is mandatory to stop at a red light. The IRS code says it's voluntary to comply. Mandatory and voluntary are the complete opposite of each other, yet he wants us to believe that they mean the same thing. So can the government criminally prosecute somebody of information put on their 10/40?
Speaker 11: Yes.
Speaker 4: Right. So it doesn't apply to 5th Amendment? No. But the 5th Amendment says I I I don't have to do anything that incriminates myself.
Speaker 11: Well, that doesn't incriminate you to put to put your income
Speaker 4: But you said before, I could put put in jail for it. The commissioner wants us to believe that although the IRS demands that you fill out the 10.40 and you can go to jail for it, That they are not violating a 5th Amendment rights of self incrimination. That is absurd. Isn't it true that the word income is not defined anywhere in the Internal Revenue Code.
Speaker 11: The law says that the government has a right to tax income from any source derived.
Speaker 4: So but the word income is not defined in the code. It just says income without a definition of what income is.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 4: Correct?
Speaker 37: Yeah.
Speaker 4: There are many different kinds of taxes. Well, how can an American citizen know what income is
Speaker 31: if the
Speaker 4: code doesn't define it? If they're paying an income courts will define it. Do you remember what constitutional attorney Edwin Viera said?
Speaker 1: The definition of income in the constitution Was given in the Eisner versus Montgomery case, and it turns on gains or profits that are made from some activity.
Speaker 4: So the Supreme Court has ruled income is not wages. It's not labor. It's gain from corporate activity. I believe that a man's labor is his private property.
Speaker 11: That's your view, but it's not the law.
Speaker 8: The Supreme Court's even said your labor is your private property. When I go to work for somebody, it's a trade. It's an even exchange. I do some work, you give me some money.
Speaker 4: In 1916, we had the Bruichaber case and the Stanton case. And the Brucehaven case and the Stanton case said that the 16th Amendment gave the government no new taxing power.
Speaker 11: I'm not going to argue the niceties of that with you.
Speaker 33: And it came up again in a case called Peck v. Lowe Where the Supreme Court said the 16th Amendment did not extend Congress's taxing power to any new or accepted subjects. In other
Speaker 4: the case. And they found the person not guilty for lack of filing, okay? And I asked her why they found him not guilty, and she said because the IRS couldn't show us the law that made him liable to file a 10/40.
Speaker 26: All they need to do, If there is a law, is to show us the law, which, of course, they never did.
Speaker 4: And the reason they didn't do it was why?
Speaker 26: Because there is no law.
Speaker 11: Title 26 requires you to file a return.
Speaker 4: But doesn't title 26 have to be in compliance the Supreme Court decisions.
Speaker 11: You're gonna take a 1920 case and superimpose it on the whole internal Remedy code that was written after it? No. That's not
Speaker 4: I can't believe what I just heard. Rewind.
Speaker 11: You're gonna take a 1920 case and superimpose it on the old Internal Revenue Code that was written after it? No. That's not.
Speaker 4: Remember he said earlier the Internal Revenue Code was authorized by the 16th Amendment?
Speaker 11: The Internal Revenue Code is authorized by the 16th Amendment.
Speaker 4: Remember, The Supreme Court said the 16th amendment did not give the government any new taxing power. These decisions have never been overturned. Let's listen forever. Can the lower courts overrule the Supreme Court? No.
How are they putting people in jail today for not paying a tax on their labor When the Supreme Court said they don't have to. Doesn't the IRS code have to be compliant to the Supreme Court? That's my opinion.
Speaker 11: This is a waste of time.
Speaker 18: Well, let
Speaker 11: me just whatever I say, you're not gonna believe.
Speaker 4: He's right. I don't believe him, and neither should you. He wants us to believe we should obey the IRS code, which is being enforced in violation of the many Supreme Court decisions. If the Supreme Court made
Speaker 11: a decision Thank you thank you, Aaron. I think we're finished.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, mister Cohen, you're doing that.
Speaker 11: Well, I'm sorry that you you constantly re argue the point. You're liable because the law says that you're reliable
Speaker 4: And
Speaker 11: the court say the law says you're liable Does and that's why you're liable.
Speaker 4: You see, he's talking about the lower courts who are not in compliance with the Supreme Court as they have to be. Doesn't the court have to be in compliance with the Supreme Court?
Speaker 11: The Supreme Court has so held.
Speaker 10: Where? You caught me unprepared.
Speaker 4: I'll come back.
Speaker 3: Well, I
Speaker 11: don't wanna do that.
Speaker 4: But let let me ask you a hypothetical question.
Speaker 11: You're making silly arguments here.
Speaker 4: Why is the Supreme Court decision a silly argument?
Speaker 11: Well, because it's inapplicable.
Speaker 4: That made my heart stop. He just said Supreme Court decisions do not apply to the IRS. That's the behavior you would expect from a totalitarian country, Maybe China or Russia or Cuba, not from America. They're just making up the law as they go along. Now I knew the tax honesty movement was right.
The IRS thrives on intimidation and fear, not by law. It's no different than a criminal protection racket using force to extract your money from you. Then the former IRS commissioner, now working at a prestigious Washington law firm, threatens me. Watch.
Speaker 11: Aaron, you understand Yiddish. Horn ist.
Speaker 4: For those of you who don't understand Yiddish, that means nothing will help you. Now it all became clear. I understood why the IRS wouldn't go on camera and talk about where the law was. I understood why all the senators I called refused to be interviewed. There is no law.
And now you know What our political leaders and the courts have known for decades and have tried to cover up. The United States Constitution strictly forbids a direct tax on the wages and salaries of American citizens. The United States Supreme Court has consistently ruled that the income tax is a tax on profits and gains, not on labor and wages. On behalf of the American people, I challenge the IRS to show me a statute that allows a direct unapportioned tax On the wages and labor of the American people, and if I'm wrong, I will give my most humble apologies to the IRS. If the IRS is wrong, and there is no law, then every person who's been jailed should be let out of jail immediately, And any asset seized should be returned to their rightful owners.
If this is a nation of laws and a free country, Then the IRS should show the law to the American people. I felt an overwhelming need To understand why juries were finding innocent people guilty of not filing a tax return when there was no law requiring them to do so. So I went to talk to Marcy Brooks, a juror who used the common sense and did not allow the judge to rear the jury into a guilty verdict.
Speaker 26: He was being tried for 4 counts of not filing his income tax.
Speaker 32: Okay.
Speaker 26: And our question was, well, what is to decide? Either he did or he didn't. It never occurred to us that he might actually be innocent while at the same time not filing. In the federal government, it is not a felony not to file taxes. Finally, they said, okay.
If we're gonna get this guy, we're gonna have to put it in the state. They called up the IRS agent, agent Crainer.
Speaker 38: Crainer? Yeah. Robert Crainer? Mhmm.
Speaker 39: This is Ken Daugherty. He's also an investigator with the line of
Speaker 31: Apartment Road now. There's a request for a copy of the delegation of the felony order.
Speaker 39: Right. And I talked to my boss about that, and he said that my badge is that.
Speaker 31: Badge is the authority. And I thought it had to be ready.
Speaker 26: The last question that the defense asked him was, did you write any of this down? And agent Crainer looked right at him and right at us. And he said, I never wrote anything down. And yet when we saw the video, there he was writing notes. You know?
And so I'm thinking, okay. At this point, the judge is supposed to say, agent Craner, It is clear that you have committed perjury. It it wasn't even noticed. It finally came to the climax. Mister Harrell looked right at the prosecutor, and he said, I will tell you the same thing I have told Over and over again to government officials, you show me the law that requires me to file a Tax return, and I'll be glad to do it.
Speaker 31: And the m I has, under what is the requirement, that you claim under the private duty stuff. And the requirement under the regulations is what section? My question to you is What particular act are we discussing here that I am liable to do these things that you claim I'm liable to do?
Speaker 39: Your exact question would be again. Okay. What is the section that what? But I guess I'm still not understanding your question, mister Brown.
Speaker 31: Well, you must be familiar What did you do that you had the peace powers to enforce?
Speaker 26: The prosecutor absolutely ignored him. And he started slandering mister Harrell. Just started attacking his character.
Speaker 13: They're calling us tax cheats. They're calling us fanatics. They're calling us weirdos. I don't care what you call me, but I have 1 question. Where is the law?
Show me the law.
Speaker 33: I Can't let this turn into a rational debate because if they do, they lose it. So they have to insult people and say it's frivolous.
Speaker 26: We felt like There was an overall arrogance and that they were railroading mister Harrell and wanting us to participate. Judge Coogan. He looked right at us, and he said, I will instruct the jury according to the law. We were sent to the deliberation. The judge promised us that he would give us the law.
And we looked and we looked, and it was not there. We wrote a note to the judge asking for a copy of the law. 10 minutes later, we get a note back. You have everything you need, but there was no law. And he had promised us.
At at that point, I felt betrayed. I felt like this man promised us the law. And that's what this whole thing is about, the law. We request it, And he still denies us
Speaker 4: the law. And the reason they didn't do it was why?
Speaker 26: Because there is no law. Remember, we're talking about the Illinois state law here, okay, which is a law in Illinois. So we got out that law And we read it several times and I said, okay. Wait. Wait.
Wait. You know, because they kept saying, but this is law in Illinois. And I said, look at the beginning of it. It says anyone required to file a federal income tax return is required to file an Illinois tax return. I said if it is true that he's not required to file a federal return, then that nullifies the Illinois law.
2 people. They kept saying, but he's gonna get by with it. And I said, what is he getting by with but his rights? If there is no law, he's not breaking a law. He's just standing on his rights.
Are we gonna deny him that? That's when this 1 juror sat back and kind of rolled his eyes. And he said, you mean We don't have to pay taxes.
Speaker 18: All of
Speaker 26: a sudden we realized that this trial was much bigger. And the ramifications of this trial were gonna be so broad If it actually got out? I mean, it's like it's like we had just discovered this great government secret. And so when we came out for deliver for the Delivering of the verdict, the judge was I'm sure even at this point, I'm sure he still thought we would pass, give a guilty verdict. And And the reason I say that is because of the look on his face when the first not guilty was read.
His face just turned white. I mean, it's like, I don't believe this. The 2nd time you could hear people out in the audience, just in the courtroom, you know, just going, Wow. You know? And the judge is just getting red in the face.
I mean, he was just livid. And the judge got up and left. I sat there, and I thought This truly is a victory for the people. And I have never felt more patriotic. And I knew that we had done the right thing.
I looked at that man, mister Harrell. And I thought, The system might not work all the time. But this time, for that man, it did.
Speaker 4: In November 2004, the government arrested former IRS criminal investigator, Joe Bannister. They charged him with fraud for telling the American people the truth about the income tax laws. The jury obviously agreed with Joe.
Speaker 10: Well, it just showed mister Bannister to be honest and straightforward and working within the law.
Speaker 4: Vernice Kuglin, a Federal Express pilot, claimed there was no law requiring Americans to file an income tax. She also won in court. 24 people were criminally charged by the IRS Because they claimed there was no law requiring them to file an income tax return.
Speaker 5: The fact is neither the judge nor the prosecutor But the IRS could bring that statute in there because it's not in the books. The jury came back with an acquittal for everyone.
Speaker 40: When the matter is put to the test, which means in terms
Speaker 18: of
Speaker 40: court and enforcement action, There is a 100% success rate in shooting down these arguments.
Speaker 26: The mafia has a Code, and they follow it, and it's a code of honor. But the IRS has no code of honor.
Speaker 4: Meet judge in a federal judge presiding over the Erwin Schiff tax case, who denied Erwin the ability to prove to a jury that there was no law requiring Americans to file an income tax return. He denied Erwin the right to prove to a jury there was no law by stating, I will not allow the law in my courtroom. But the judge made sure the government then had to show the law as written By telling the jury, you must follow the law as I give it to you.
Speaker 12: Nobody can know what the law is Because the law is what the judges say the law is.
Speaker 35: The lower courts today will not allow people and especially in tax cases to bring in Supreme Court decisions as their evidence
Speaker 4: Here we have a federal judge, re eroding an American citizen by saying Supreme Court decisions are irrelevant, and again, nothing from the press defending our freedoms. So if you ever find yourself as a juror on a task case, Be sure to ask the judge to show you the statute written by Congress that allows the government to tax the wages of the American people. If the Judge can't show you the Law, then how can you possibly, in good conscience, convict someone and destroy their life? Let's see how the IRS treated one of America's greatest heroes and someone I cherished as a child.
Speaker 41: Joe Lewis was an American icon. Victorious in his 1st 27 fights, the brown bomber quickly rose to heavyweight champion of the world. His 1938 knockout of German Max Schmeling who represented Hitler's Aryan ideal earned him the admiration of millions of Americans.
Speaker 3: This one is taking care of place. Power snuckily right to the body, a left up to the top, and straightly just down. The cloud is high.
Speaker 41: Right after Pearl Harbor was bombed, Joe had a title fight where he donated his feet to navy war relief.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm not waiting for nothing. I'm waiting for my country, not think that by the greatest piece of work that anybody can do. Well, I certainly agree with you for that, but you're turning over an awful lot of money. Well, we all turned over a whole lot this country, this at this time.
Speaker 41: Joe volunteered for the segregated army and defended his title while in the service. This time donating his normal fee to army relief.
Speaker 3: I've only done what any red blood American would do.
Speaker 41: Since the checks were in Joe's name, the IRS taxed him on their full amount even though he never saw a penny of it. At the end of the war, Joe was awarded the legion of merit. But what most people didn't know was that the IRS was charging him $50,000 a year in interest alone on his debt. When Joe's beloved mother died, leaving him $600, the IRS immediately seized it. They also confiscated all of his children's trust funds.
Joe was forced to continue fighting until he was 37 and out of shape just to pay off his ever mounting debt to the IRS, Which grew to $1,000,000, $100,000 a year just in interest. At the end of his life, Joe was forced to become a greeter at a Las Vegas hotel just to make ends meet.
Speaker 38: It was a shameful thing to see a man like him, great fighter, great human being, being Humiliated and and destroyed in this manner, because after all, when you owe Internal Revenue money, No matter what you have, they take away from you, and they took a lot away from Joe Lewis.
Speaker 4: I made a decision to drive to Virginia Beach from Washington because I had heard stories about 2 law abiding families who had been brutalized by the IRS. They were falsely accused by their bookkeeper of being drug smugglers and tax cheats. And incredibly to me, without any investigation, the IRS proceeded to raid their place of business and their homes even though they had done absolutely nothing wrong.
Speaker 42: On Saturday morning, 4 different raiding parties proceeded to raid 4 locations On a Saturday the day before Easter.
Speaker 18: I was the manager on duty, and I was up in the deli, and People came through the door.
Speaker 28: How many came through? It was maybe about 15
Speaker 18: to 20 people.
Speaker 4: 15 to 20 armed agents.
Speaker 18: With dogs, with guns. They made me get everybody everybody in the they went in the kitchen. They went in the deli. They went all over the whole restaurant, told told all the customers, took Forks out of their hands while they were eating their breakfast and told them they had to leave.
Speaker 10: I got the frantic call from eating, And she says something's wrong, something wrong. So anyway, I jump out of bed and I immediately run to the shower. I'm in the shower And the next thing I know, I hear my son yelling, dad.
Speaker 19: I went like this, and boom. I'm slammed against the door, and I fall down with a gun in my head, and they're like, where's Scottie Miller? And I'm like, dad. That's all I'm doing is yelling. I'm scared, frightened.
Yeah.
Speaker 10: And then the next thing I hear As mister Miller with the shirt the shower curtain has jerked back, I've got a gun pointed in my head. Hold it right there. The screams from the little girls, who were at a pajama party with my daughter. There's 4 little girls there with my daughter. Of course, mayhem.
Speaker 26: There were about 3 men in my bedroom with huge guns. He followed us and wanted to watch us get dressed. And I tried to shut the door, and he puts his foot in the
Speaker 18: door like he's gonna sit there and
Speaker 26: watch us change our clothes and I was like, excuse me. No.
Speaker 10: My neighbors now are all standing up. Were you still naked?
Speaker 11: Well, they handed me a towel
Speaker 10: at that point. I had a towel wrapped around me.
Speaker 4: Do the towel fit?
Speaker 10: Yeah. Hardly. At this point, you know, they were talking about weapons and, you know, and, I mean, it's crazy. I mean, they're looking everywhere. It Going through all my drawers, and I I reached for my underwear drawer to get some underwear.
They said, don't
Speaker 37: touch anything,
Speaker 10: They're they're locking their guns up.
Speaker 37: They hold
Speaker 3: it right there.
Speaker 37: Don't move around.
Speaker 23: Don't move. Move.
Speaker 10: I'm a woah. I said, just like to get some underwear on here. You know? I said, yeah. I got women standing here.
Speaker 42: I said They keep everything.
Speaker 4: How did you conduct your business if the IRS took everything?
Speaker 42: We had to do it out of a shoebox so we could keep going because we requested these things, And I'm told that the government's really not, once they do raid and so forth, this is supposed to at least let you, until you're charged with something, continue your business. This wasn't the case. They kept everything.
Speaker 4: So you were never even charged?
Speaker 42: Absolutely not. Charged with what? And when you speak IRS, the whole world shrivels up. The whole world gets fearful to a point where let's not talk about it. I testified in front of congress.
I would like to know why this dark entity known as The IRS has come into my life and refused to leave. I raised my children with a zero tolerance for dishonesty, and now they must hear allegations that I am a Major drug dealer and a tax cheat. A lot of people out there being abused and a lot of people saying, look, I'll pay it. Just go away.
Speaker 3: Just go away.
Speaker 18: When all that happened, we had to file bankruptcy. We had cars taken away from us, Kept my daughter from going to college.
Speaker 42: Do they ever think about the lies that they just destroyed? They think about the ruination of homes and property. No, in this case, we would have never thought this could happen
Speaker 4: to us.
Speaker 3: We've never done anything wrong.
Speaker 42: How can this happen in America when in my case, personally, I thought that I was doing everything right? I've served my country. I've been to college. At least I've done something in my life. I got a speeding ticket one time.
I paid my taxes for 40, 50 years, whatever it was. I've never been audited. What happened here?
Speaker 4: I had this really uncomfortable feeling in the pit of my stomach As I was thinking to myself, how did America transform itself from being a truly free country with a servant government Where our individual rights were protected by our constitution, to being a country that talked about being free but really wasn't. The change started when the Federal Reserve came into existence, and America adopted one of the major planks of the Communist Manifesto By bringing to America this central bank, the very same people that backed the Federal Reserve System also backed the graduated income tax, a 2nd plank from the Communist Manifesto. You know that the Federal Reserve is a private bank Not a government agency?
Speaker 18: No. I wasn't aware of that.
Speaker 3: It's a it's a private bank. That would scare me quite a bit. I wonder if you
Speaker 4: learned that the Federal Reserve makes money off the taxes you pay. Would you feel about that?
Speaker 18: Angry, like I'm feeling right now.
Speaker 3: I would feel cheated by my government. I'd be angry. Kinda sucks. They're pretty much in control of everything.
Speaker 4: I decided to drive back to Washington to see doctor Ron Paul. He had been a congressman for over 20 years. I had met him previously in 1998 when I was running for governor in Nevada, and I knew him to be an honest and sincere man. And I thought he'd be very helpful in letting me know what the future holds for the American people. Who owns the Federal Reserve?
Speaker 5: It's secret, and we can't find out what's happening. So but the congress created it, and it's Not authorized in the constitution.
Speaker 3: The government borrows money from a private corporation using the name federal that prints United States on it and then it pays back to the fed which is owned by private banks. We don't know who all those private banks are. The money that the government is paying back to the private bankers is the money that comes from you and me.
Speaker 4: Why in the world would the American government borrow money and pay fees on it When it has the authority to make the money itself interest free.
Speaker 3: The Federal Reserve is no more federal than Federal Express. Never seen a full list of ownership for the Fed. I don't think anybody has.
Speaker 29: The government works for a private bank, and the private bank works for its owners.
Speaker 9: They're true masters. People talk
Speaker 3: to me about, you know, the issue of Republican versus Democrat is that they don't get it. And I say, Look, here's the way you get it. It's organized crime. All you do is you call the Republicans, the Genoveses, and you call the Democrats, the Gambinos. The people at the top, they treat it like a crap game, like it's their crap game, Like they're making lots of money.
Occasionally, somebody at the table shoots each other, but the moment anything threatens their crap game, they all unite to protect it. They're both controlled by the same financial, economic, and corporate interests. Once the banks get into the picture, and they form a partnership With the government, the government gives them the legal power now to create bank issued money backed by the Coercive power government to require everybody to accept that bank money.
Speaker 5: In the course of the last century, They have converted this nation from a nation of independent freeholders to a nation of employees,
Speaker 3: and they're just 1 step away from being Most people spend the great bulk of their money for taxes, interest and inflation. And all of that money goes to these 2 groups that comprise the cartel and their partner, the federal government. It's not a coincidence.
Speaker 4: So if Congress used its legal authority to shut down the Federal Reserve System, the American people would be much better off. Government should create, issue, and circulate all the currency. Creating and issuing money is a supreme prerogative of government and its greatest creative opportunity. Adopting these principles will save the taxpayers immense sums of interest, and money will cease to be the master and become the servant of humanity,
Speaker 3: Abraham Lincoln. Young people today are conditioned from, practically from the cradle on up To think that credit is a wonderful thing. You don't wanna damage your credit. You wanna do what you can so that you can go to the bank and get a good loan.
Speaker 5: There are no no people who own their own property, who own their own houses, who own their own business, who finance their own business, they're only debtors.
Speaker 3: The average Young person today has no concept that he's being drawn into a web, a trap Like he's in the feudalist system, only he's going to like it. He's going to think this is wonderful. I got my new red Corvette And I'm in debt for the rest of my life, but I'm looking good.
Speaker 29: A decision was made. You know, let's get all the debt up, let's move the jobs abroad, And instead of reengineering your skills, we're going to dumb down America, and so the middle class will disappear.
Speaker 3: Really what, what most of the people in this country have become is, When
Speaker 4: a person borrows money and puts a noose around their neck and makes them servant to the lender, which is exactly what the Federal Reserve System is designed to do. And now our Congress, so dominated by the banks, is helping them to entrap people even further by passing new bankruptcy laws, Making it more difficult for the people to declare bankruptcy and get a fresh start, while at the same time allowing the banks to charge very high rates of interest. This is the way the Democrats and Republicans, working with the banks, legally enslave the nation.
Speaker 3: Credit card industry is a huge political contributor. And unfortunately, a certain number of
Speaker 0: It just seems so, like I say, just bald. You know? This idea that Credit card industry gives a lot of money to the government, so they will protect them even to the just abject, disinterest of their own constituents.
Speaker 3: That happens kind of a lot. The board of directors of the Federal Reserve System is chosen by the president From a list prepared by the bankers themselves. The process of finding a Greenspan replacement is ongoing and is being managed by a small group of people responsible for Coming up with a list of nominees.
Speaker 2: It's important that whomever I pick, is viewed as an independent person from politics.
Speaker 4: If the American people ever allow the banks to control the issuance of their currency, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them Will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. Thomas Jefferson. So the Federal Reserve is actually an illegal entity functioning within government. It's illegal, and what we have given
Speaker 5: to this So called agency is the authority to counterfeit money.
Speaker 4: Do you have any points of view about the Federal Reserve and how the Federal Reserve operates?
Speaker 5: They just entered something on a computer. Oh, you need $20,000,000,000 today. Here's $20,000,000,000, but they got that out of thin air.
Speaker 20: It came out of
Speaker 5: thin air. It goes to the treasury. The treasury then pays the bills.
Speaker 4: So it's no different than monopoly money. The cost of living is so high today because the Federal Reserve and the Federal Government have destroyed the purchasing power of the dollar. The dollar today is actually worth about 4¢ despite the fact that the government, the Federal Reserve, and the media keep telling us That they're protecting the value of the dollar. This is a lie.
Speaker 5: All countries who have ever attempted To create money on thin air, the the currency is eventually destroyed. Why did we give a monopoly of creating money out of thin air to a private corporation. The result is exactly the same as as if someone were picking your pocket every year because that's exactly what they're doing.
Speaker 8: Originally, paper was a receipt, which is used as evidence that the money exists. Over the years, of course, the government has disconnected the paper from the actual tangible substance which is money. So now we have piece a piece of paper which is evidence of nothing. Nothing.
Speaker 4: In the past, people were able to take their receipts, the paper, to the bank and get the real money, the gold, in exchange for the receipt. This limited the amount of money that could be printed, thereby protecting the purchasing power of your savings.
Speaker 2: You don't have to worry.
Speaker 7: That's good because I work 3 jobs, and I feel like I contribute.
Speaker 2: You worked 3 jobs?
Speaker 7: Three jobs. Yes.
Speaker 2: Uniquely American in it. I mean, that is fantastic.
Speaker 4: In the absence of the gold standard, There is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. There is no safe store of value. Gold stands as a protector of property rights. Alan Greenspan, before he went to work for the Federal Reserve System. Now Alan Greenspan and the other central bankers want you to believe that the receipt, the paper, is the real money.
This is nothing more than sleight of hand. It's a magician's trick. Because for them to maintain control over the government and the people, they have to convince you That this paper is really money because that is the essence of their power and our powerlessness, To maintain control over our own government.
Speaker 42: What happens to Gold and
Speaker 3: Fort Knox? Nobody really knows. When I served on
Speaker 5: the Gold Commission, I asked them to Really, you know, do another audit. I remember it was 15 to 2 that said we don't need to audit the gold.
Speaker 3: It's supposed to be the American American people's gold, and so we would like an accounting To tell the American people what is there I've been told
Speaker 4: that the Federal Reserve has taken control of the gold as collateral for the dollars they print.
Speaker 5: They miss gold on their balance sheet.
Speaker 4: What happened to Federal Reserve, this private bank, miss on the balance sheet.
Speaker 5: They claim they're holding that for the treasury.
Speaker 4: So that puts private bankers in control of the American gold. They could have taken all of America's wealth.
Speaker 3: That's a possibility.
Speaker 4: Shouldn't the congress stand up and say, where is the American people's gold? They're not audited. They can show the money of America, And it's not audited? There is no audit. Wait a second.
Speaker 3: Doesn't the Federal Reserve work underneath the Congress? Congress ignores their responsibility to, Do any oversight. The president really has no control nor does the Congress have any control over this cartel. It just has the appearance of control.
Speaker 4: In the final analysis, the Federal Reserve Bankers, with the help of the Democrats and Republicans in Congress, have swindled the American people. They have taken the true wealth of America, the gold, and given us a piece of paper in return. And again, Not a word from the press. These frauds are going to continue until Congress is no longer intimidated by the fellow reserve bankers And congress uses their legal authority to shut down the Federal Reserve System and to stop this loss of our freedoms. Is there a law that requires people to file a 10 40?
Speaker 3: Not explicitly, but, it's certainly implied. Well,
Speaker 4: implied by force. Yeah. But is there a law? I
Speaker 5: can't say
Speaker 3: the law. No. I cannot. But, you know, If they think it's the law and they have all the guns, you know, it's an authoritarian approach. Well, yeah.
But that's Yeah.
Speaker 4: That's not that's not a country run by war. Do you think America is going deeper and deeper And to becoming a police state? And if so, in what ways do you see that as a congressman?
Speaker 5: Yeah. I think we're moving in that direction because there's not much we can do without permission. The absence of a police state is that people are free and if you don't commit crimes, you can do what you want. But today, you can't open up a business. You can't develop land.
You can hardly do anything. You can't go to the bank. You can't go to the doctor without the government knowing what you're doing. And, they talk about medical privacy, that's gone. Financial privacy, That's gone.
The right to own property, that's essentially gone. So you have to get permission from the government from almost everything. And if that is the definition of a police state that you can't do anything unless the government gives you permission, we're well on our way. This is this is something that people eventually, I hope, will get sick and tired of and say, you know, enough is enough.
Speaker 4: I sincerely believe the banking institutions having the issuing power of money are more dangerous to liberty Then standing armies, Thomas Jefferson.
Speaker 3: You must understand the Federal Reserve is a cartel made up of the major banks in America. And they are the ones that are running the show, not the federal government.
Speaker 1: Behind the system, the financial interests, are able to exercise a disproportionate amount of influence on Not only the economic structure of the country, but the political structure.
Speaker 42: This would be like The ultimate reaching of government into our personal health lives, which would be unbelievable and not even our government, Some, you know, bureaucratic diffuse, multinational secretive government.
Speaker 2: I just want to assure the American people that, one, I've got the authority to do this. American people expect us to protect them and Protect us of the liberties. I'm going to do that. Preserve, protect, and defend the constitution of the United States. The constitution of the United States.
So
Speaker 1: What happens if your your own government is using more force and more coercion on its own citizens for the purpose of achieving its political ends. Is that government engaged in terrorism?
Speaker 4: Now let's watch the government add insult to injury to the people of New Orleans. No one will be able to be armed. We will take all weapons.
Speaker 43: That happened today in this wealthy neighborhood where homeowners had armed themselves to protect their mansions.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I have to ask you.
Speaker 43: Residents handcuffed on the ground. In the end, police took their weapons, but let them stay in their homes.
Speaker 4: Wasn't that kind and generous of the government To allow people to stay in their own homes, how thoughtful. Of course, they couldn't defend themselves from looters.
Speaker 43: For many of the police and guard Troops, it is an uncomfortable job to do this in an American city.
Speaker 19: You never expect to do this in your own country.
Speaker 3: Walking up and down these streets, You don't you don't wanna think about the stuff that you're gonna have to do?
Speaker 15: We are losing our right to property. The the government is getting more pretext to seize it Using, you know, the power to confiscate with eminent domain. The asset forfeiture laws are proliferated. It's easier for the prosecutors to come in and make an accusation against do and confiscate your property even though they have no evidence that you've done anything wrong. Gilbert Innocence doesn't really matter that much because it's very convenient for the government.
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, what is being sold to The American people today as Americanism, if you peel off the label, you find so much similarity To what we were fighting against when we were fighting communism and Nazism and fascism.
Speaker 4: The government's now putting a national ID card together and they want checkpoints.
Speaker 5: We will be carrying our papers, and they have recommended there'll be checkpoints, throughout the country.
Speaker 4: Isn't that what Nazi Germany did that everybody in America was against? Papers, please. May I see your papers?
Speaker 3: May you see your papers? I don't think I have them on me. In that case, we'd have to ask you to come along.
Speaker 16: Wait. It's possible that, yes. Here we are.
Speaker 3: These papers expired 3 weeks ago. You have to come
Speaker 5: The new legislation that the the national ID card is in it. It takes 3 or 4 pages to describe, and it will be connected with our driver's licenses. The states will be instructed on exactly what they have to do. Social Security numbers will be used. Some type of physical proof such such as fingerprints or retinal prints have to be on it.
Speaker 4: It is time to wake up, America, these ID cards are not about defeating terrorism, but they are all about controlling the American people. I arranged an interview with Catherine Albrecht, a leading authority on the RFID chip. Her book entitled Spy Chips is the definitive book on the subject. I wanted to find out just how dangerous these chips are to our liberties.
Speaker 7: RFID is a technology that uses tiny computer chips size of a grain of sand or even smaller hooked up to miniature antennas to transmit information about items at a distance. Back in 1999, Procter and Gamble, Gillette, and MIT got together to find a way to commercialize this technology and make it small enough, Make it efficient enough and make it low cost enough to essentially, their dream is to put one of these tiny, computer chips on every physical item manufactured on Earth. The latest technology for identifying people at the point of sale, for identifying people when they make purchases, is actually the implantable chip that you can actually embed directly into human flesh. It's a tiny glass capsule about the size of a grain of rice. It contains an RFID computer chip with a coiled antenna, and it can transmit information also at a distance.
Speaker 14: Can a microscopic tag being planted in a person's body to track his every movement. There's actual discussion about that. You will rule on that, mark my words, before your tenure is over.
Speaker 7: Homeland Security folks, the Department of Defense, and others have expressed an interest in being able to more closely monitor the US Populous, and one way to do that, of course, would be being able to determine who buys what and, where they take those things. Radio waves can travel through walls. They can travel through wood. They can travel through the things we normally rely on to protect our privacy. For example, your purse, your backpack, your pocket, anything you're wearing or carrying.
Craft Philadelphia cream cheese has been tagged with RFID and sold to consumers as have, Mach 3 razor products and other Gillette razor products without the knowledge of the consumer. One of the tiny chips could actually even be the the the dot on the letter I on the back of The fine print on a package that you purchase. They were talking about having reader devices in every airport, on every bus, on every train, on every port, on every doc. One of the most worrisome applications of RFID are proposals to put them into cash, meaning that you would be able to Track every banknote where it had been, who it had been issued to, and create in essence an audit trail that would that would, essentially take away the anonymity of cash we now enjoy today. The ATM machine itself as the money was came through the the roller device would be would be reading each number, And they would know who you are because of course you identify yourself at the bank before you take money out.
And down the road when you go to pay, at a major retailer, It would also be possible for them as they're putting the money into the cash drawer to simply feed it through a little reader device. It would go in, it would tag that number and transfer possession from Aaron Russo, say to Walmart. Once everything you do is tied down to a single number and there is no longer the ability to pay with cash, then all it takes to render you a non citizen is to simply turn that chip off. You will no longer be able to really participate in any function in society, including by food.
Speaker 4: So through the implementation of the Federal Reserve System, The American citizen has gone from being a private individual who had real money, gold in his possession that was private To a citizen who has no privacy because all money is now being digitized, they can deduct whatever amount of money they want out of your digits whenever they want. They can trace you whenever they want. You'll be at their mercy. God forbid we allow this to happen in America.
Speaker 7: This is absolutely Orwellian. I mean, it's talking about big brother looking over your shoulder at absolutely everything you do, every purchase you make, every place you go,
Speaker 20: Pizza Palace. Guaranteed hot in 30 minutes. It's free. This is Mary. May I take your order?
Speaker 3: Hi, Mary. Yes. I'd like to order.
Speaker 20: Is this mister Kelly?
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 20: Thank you for calling again, sir. I see your national identification number as six 0204-999-98dash45dash54610. Is that correct?
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 20: Thank you, mister Kelly. I see you live at 736 Montrose corporate. You're calling from your cell phone. Are you at home?
Speaker 3: I'm just leaving work, but I'm
Speaker 20: Oh, we can deliver to Bob's Auto Supply. That's at 175 Lincoln Avenue. Yeah?
Speaker 3: No. I'm on my way home. How do you know all this stuff?
Speaker 20: We just got wired into the system, sir.
Speaker 3: Oh, well, I'd like to order a couple of your double meat special pizzas.
Speaker 20: Sure thing. There'll be a new $20 charge for those, sir.
Speaker 3: What do you mean?
Speaker 20: Sir, the system shows me that your medical records indicate that you have high blood pressure and extremely high cholesterol. Luckily, we have a new agreement with your national healthcare provider that allows us to sell you double meat pies as long as you agree to waive all future claims of liability.
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 20: Do you agree, sir? You can find the form when we deliver, but there is a charge for processing. The total is $67 even.
Speaker 3: $67? That
Speaker 20: includes the delivery surcharge of $15 to cover the added risk our driver of traveling through an orange zone.
Speaker 3: I live in an orange zone?
Speaker 20: Now you do. Looks like there was another robbery on Montrose yesterday. You could save $48 if you ordered our special Sprout Submarine combo and picked it up yourself. Comes with tofu sticks, those are Very tasty, sir. Good value too.
Speaker 3: But I want double meat.
Speaker 20: Well, I'm sure you can afford the $67 then. You just bought those tickets to Hawaii. They weren't cheap, Oh, but I see you checked out the budget beach bomb at the library last week. Up to you, sir.
Speaker 3: Alright. Alright. I'll get the Sprout subs.
Speaker 20: Good choice, sir. Gotta watch that waist if you're hitting the beach, Ang. 42 inches. Wow. Man, I'd say tofu and sprouts is, like, Required.
Speaker 3: That's how much?
Speaker 20: Just between you and me, there's a $3 off coupon in this month's Total Men's Fitness Magazine. Your wife Betty subscribes to that. Right? Anyhow, clip that and it's 19.99 even. Woah.
Looks like you maxed out on all your credit cards. Bring cash. Okay?
Speaker 4: Have we become so controlled and so ignorant about our rights? That big institutions and big government can do whatever they want with us, Even without our approval, I knew for certain the founding fathers would resist to the death what is happening in America today. And I, for 1, will not accept a national ID card. And if nobody accepts a national ID card, and nobody can board a plane with that one, Then let the airlines go bankrupt. And if you can't open a bank account in a big money center bank, then open account in a small local bank.
And if we can't walk into a federal building, I personally would consider that a blessing. Don't allow these institutions to dictate to us How we conduct our lives. This is America, and we have free choice. We the people have all the power, not the government. Government gets its power from us, Not the other way around.
Think of all the men and women who died in all our wars, fighting for freedom, Not Federal Reserve Bankers. Do you think they sacrificed their lives so that Americans could be chipped like a dog? So we could all have a homing device inside us? No. This ID card is the last step before they implant us.
And that's precisely the reason nobody should accept 1. And do you know what they're gonna do? They're gonna call in the propaganda machine, the media, And try and sell this as if we're in everybody's best interest.
Speaker 44: We're working on a product that we have called internally a PLD. PLD LD stands for personal locating device, which is an implantable GPS for which our company owns a patent. The hybrid of the 2 of these products, being Digital Angel and Verichip is what we call PLD. PLD should be in prototype form by the end of this here by December of 2002, and we are already working with the Food and Drug Administration as well as legislative agencies with these products and Ultimately, with the PLD.
Speaker 29: We have a Florida family who are really pioneers in a brave new world. They have volunteered to be the 1st ever To have microchip identification devices implanted into their body.
Speaker 20: After 9/11, I was really concerned, with the security of my family.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't mind having something planted permanently in my arm that would identify me.
Speaker 4: Talk about identification papers. Watch what happens to a woman in Florida whose license was suspended.
Speaker 45: Get out of the car or
Speaker 3: I am going to tase you.
Speaker 45: The next street off the street.
Speaker 3: On your stomach. Do it now. Put your hands behind your back. Do it now. Do it now or you're gonna get tased again.
Do it now.
Speaker 45: Put your hands behind your back. I can't. Under the camp. Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
Speaker 3: Oh, god. You got blood on your
Speaker 45: Oh my god. You know you've paid me and you handcuffed me?
Speaker 3: Yep. You're under arrest.
Speaker 45: For what reason?
Speaker 3: Your license is suspended.
Speaker 1: All the power is in the people. And to the extent that government becomes alienated from the people, does things that people don't want, power is transferred till you finally come to a police state, totalitarian whatever word you wanna give it, where the desires of the people really have no no consequence.
Speaker 3: They go out and they vote. Doesn't make any difference which candidate they elect.
Speaker 23: I'm a programmer. I worked for NASA, worked for ExxonMobil,
Speaker 4: Work for,
Speaker 23: Department of Transportation. Mister Curtis, are there programs
Speaker 6: that can be used to secretly fix elections? Yes. How do you know that to be the case?
Speaker 23: Because in October of 2000, I wrote a prototype for president congressman Tom Feeney At the company I worked for in Oviedo, Florida that did just that.
Speaker 6: And when you say did just that,
Speaker 23: it would rig an election? It would flip the vote 5,149, Whoever you wanted to go to and whichever race you wanted to win.
Speaker 6: And would that program that you design be something that elections officials That might be on County Boards of Elections could detect? They never see it. So how would such a program, a secret program that fixes the election, how could it be detected?
Speaker 23: You would have to view it either in the source code, or you have to have a receipt and then count the hard paper against the actual boat total.
Speaker 6: Given the availability of such boat rigging software And the testimony that has been given under oath of substantial statistical anomalies, it grows This difference is between exit polling data and the actual tabulated results. Do you have an opinion whether or not Ohio election the the And anything with regards to business units? Absolutely none.
Speaker 3: Anybody who trusts Electronic voting machine should have their head examined.
Speaker 2: Now we can see a new world coming into view, a world in which there is the very real prospect of a new world order.
Speaker 4: The new world order will be built An end run on national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece will accomplish much more than the old fashioned frontal assault, Council on foreign relations. We shall have world governments whether or not we'd like it. The only question is Whether world government will be achieved by conquest or consent, Paul Warburg, council on foreign relations and architect of the Federal Reserve System.
Speaker 5: Here's a group that get together internationally,
Speaker 18: and they
Speaker 5: sort of play God with Our money
Speaker 38: from Yes.
Speaker 4: That's part of what George Bush said was the one world order.
Speaker 5: They can't have a new world order, only with, You know, a world police, military Right. I think the financial system ultimately is even more important than the guns.
Speaker 4: The central bankers of the world are working together to create a one world government, a global police state as sinister As anything George Orwell ever wrote about, where every person on the planet earth will have an RFID chip implanted, Where the bankers and the governments command every transaction you make.
Speaker 3: A chip and everybody would be the universal monetary system par excellence because there'd be no escape from it, and you'd be totally under the control of those who issue the electronic impulses in that chip.
Speaker 4: Their strategies are being accomplished through the World Trade Organization, the International Monetary Fund, and the Bank For International Settlements, which is the central bank For all the central banks of the world, most people don't have a clue that these unelected private bankers actually control The governments of the world, they have financed and profited from every war since World War I without concern for humanity. The war in Iraq is an attempt by the fellow reserve and their partner, the Bank of England, to control the Middle East and to make it a part of the New World Order. To defend the New World Order, US soldiers will have to kill and die, Arthur Schlessinger, A councilor on foreign relations. Military men are just dumb, Stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy, Henry Kissinger, Council on Foreign Relations. Now let's listen to this quote by Robert Reich, a member of president Clinton's cabinet and one of his most trusted advisers.
The dirty little secret is that both houses of Congress are irrelevant. America's domestic policy is now being run by Alan Greenspan and the Federal Reserve. America's foreign policy is now being run by the International Monetary Fund. When the president decides to go to war, he no longer needs a declaration of war from congress. Doctor Carol Quigley, professor from Georgetown University, who was also president Clinton's mentor, Said in his book, tragedy and hope, the powers of financial capitalism had a far reaching aim.
Nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands, able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. And then president Clinton's deputy secretary of state, Strobe Talbot, said, in the next century, nations as we know it will be obsolete. All states will recognize a single global authority. All these supposed free trade agreements, NAFTA, GATT, CAFTA are truly nothing more than the governments of the world and the central banks working together to create a one world government. They are not free trade.
These treaties are government managed trade, and they are destroying the American worker. Through these treaties, the bankers are actually beginning to control The laws of the world. The fact is that this relationship between the bankers, the government, and the huge multinational corporations is the very reason why the government no longer enforces its immigration laws. The bankers want a one world government without borders, And the American government is obeying them. If the government was so worried about terrorism, why they're leaving the borders open?
But at the same time, telling American citizens they need an ID card with an RFID chip.
Speaker 46: The Bush Administration's Open Borders policy and its decision to ignore the enforcement of this country's immigration laws is part of a broader agenda. President Bush signed a formal agreement that will end the United States as we know it. And he took the step without approval from either the US Congress or the people of the United States. Bill Tucker reports.
Speaker 47: The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America sounds benign, hardly like a policy that critics call NAFTA on steroids. It's a deal that few have even heard of.
Speaker 18: It's being done again by very few people at the very top on behalf of the investment class, but the Working class of people, political officials across our country from communities, from cities, and so forth, they don't know anything about this.
Speaker 47: Yet it was agreed to by Mexico's president Fox, Canada's prime minister Martin, and president Bush in 2005. Administration officials counter their critics by saying Everything about SPP is on the White House website, and they say the partnership is not a treaty, but more of an outline authorities between the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Still, some wonder why there haven't been public discussions about the goals being pursued.
Speaker 46: You know, I I was asked the other day, about whether or not I really thought the American people Had the stomach The stand up and stop this nonsense, this direction from a group of elites in absolute contravention of our law, of our constitution, Every national value. And I hope, I pray that I'm right when I said Yes. But this is this is beyond belief.
Speaker 4: Look what happened in Europe. The people that voted down the European constitution wanting each country to stay sovereign. Yet the private central bankers are pushing the governments forward to make this constitution happen even though the people voted against us and clearly do not want a rural government nor one European government. Now pay close attention to this quote by David Rockefeller, And you understand what is happening in the world today and where the American people are heading as a nation. We are grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine, and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years.
It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world If we had been subjected to the likes of publicity during those years, but now the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto determination practiced in past centuries. David Rockefeller, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, actually believes that we would be better off If he and his bank of friends ran the world.
Speaker 3: Benito Mussolini had a great quote about fascism. He said that Fascism should be called corporatism more properly, because it's the perfect merger of power between the corporation and the state. That's how we define fascism. And that's what we're seeing here. The media, controls the information that a person gets.
In various ways, they can make sure that the average American watching the tube or reading the newspaper, is going to come out with a certain mindset. It's going to say, this is good, that's bad, and that's all they have to do. You look at the ownership of Corporate media in this country. Who owns CBS? Viacom?
Who owns NBC? GE? Who owns ABC? Disney?
Speaker 15: Americans have been taught to expect Salvation from government instead of recognizing government as a as the most dangerous threat they'll face in their lives.
Speaker 3: The United States putting together a constitution now for Iraq. You know, why don't we just give Mars? I mean, think about it. It served us well for over 200 years, and we don't appear to be using it anymore. So
Speaker 5: I like the old idea where you could do what you thought you could do, and what you wanted to do As long as you didn't hurt other people.
Speaker 3: I think that the ultimate choice that's being presented to mankind is that it's time to either evolve or Perish. Grow up or die. Become adults. Act like adults. Take some responsibility.
Speaker 27: Freedom to Fascism. That's a pretty in your face title, and from the bits I've seen already of This documentary, you should be making a lot of waves. It's being compared in advance to Fahrenheit 911. Just give an overview of what you're trying to do, a summary of what you're trying to do in this movie, and then we can get into some specifics.
Speaker 18: Well, I
Speaker 4: think what I'm I mean, what I'm trying to do is obviously is wake America up. That's I use that title because that to me is the truth. It's the honest title. A lot of people said don't say fascism because it's gonna scare people, You know, but the truth is that it is fascism that's happening in America. Only people don't know what fascism really means.
Fascism is actually The work the synergistic effort of big government and big corporations working together to stifle the people, and that's what we have in America today. I mean, if you asked Mussolini what fascism was, he would say it's really corporatism. You know, I think it was Tolstoy who said Fascism is capitalism in decay.
Speaker 11: You know?
Speaker 27: Yeah, it's corporatocracy. Is that another word
Speaker 4: they use for it? Yes. Exactly. So what's happened in America is that the corporations have taken over, And the largest corporation of all is the Federal Reserve System. And people don't think of the Federal Reserve System as being a corporation
Speaker 18: I think it's
Speaker 27: A formal governmental entity.
Speaker 4: Exactly. I think it's a government agency, and it's not. It's a cabal. It's a partnership between the government and this private bank. And this private bank is a Delaware corporation who in 1913 was given the authority, the concession, so to speak, to make money for America, to issue money, issue dollars.
Up to that point, it was the government that could do that and local banks that could do that. And money had a gold and silver backing. And what happened was in 1913, the Fed took that power away from the government or the government gave it to them.
Speaker 27: Mhmm. Did a deal
Speaker 4: with the banking industry? Right. They did a deal with the private bankers the Rothschilds and the Rockefellows and all those people. And by doing that, the government, when it needed money, now had to borrow it from the Fed and pay interest on the money. And they brought the income tax into being then so the interest to these bankers could be paid.
So essentially, because of this corruption, this fraud, The bank has got the right to make money, and the American people had to be taxed so they could pay the bank, so the government could pay the bankers the interest. Whereas if the government made the money, There'd be no interest to pay. And if it had the gold backing that it's supposed to have, it would limit the amount of money that could be printed. You see, so, in 1913, the change began to evolve in America. And in a way, my movie could be called the 2 frauds of 1913 the IRS, You know, the income tax and the Federal Reserve, yes.
Speaker 26: There are
Speaker 27: so many roads to go down. One of them you were talking about was it did limit the growth by having actual Gold, an actual gold backed currency. Most people don't understand, we do not have a gold backed currency anymore. Do you want to talk about that a little bit?
Speaker 4: Well, we can. I mean, I don't know if people find that interesting.
Speaker 16: Well, I
Speaker 27: find it interesting. I mean, everyone thinks we have Fort Knox filled with gold, and That's basically, the backing to our currency, that we're stable. Can you
Speaker 7: talk about the truth?
Speaker 4: Sure. The truth is, is that, first of all, There probably is no gold in Fort Knox. I say probably, even though I'm sure there isn't. I say probably because I have not been in there to see it for myself. But what's happened is the Treasury, which owns the gold on behalf of the American people, has given the gold to the Federal Reserve, these private bankers, as collateral for the dollars these bankers print out of thin air.
So the bankers have basically swindled With the cooperation of the Congress and the government, the bankers have swindled the American people by taking all our wealth to gold and giving us a piece of paper that ultimately has no value. It's just a piece of paper with no backing to it. And it's just A situation where the people of America don't understand that because they believe that gold still backs the dollar Well, silver still backs the dollar, and it doesn't, not in any way. So what you have is what's called a fiat currency. And this fiat currency, The Federal Reserve can make out of thin air all they want.
And because the firm Paper's cheap.
Speaker 27: Ink is too.
Speaker 39: Oh, you
Speaker 4: don't even things, you don't even need the ink anymore. Let let's say each dollar $100 printed costs 3¢. Okay? Well, now you don't even have to spend the 3¢ because they just use digits on a computer. Mhmm.
So you don't even have paper anymore. You just have these digits. And it's because of this Ability of the Federal Reserve to print money out of thin air or to make digits out of thin air, and they call it money, It gives them the power to control the government because whoever makes the money makes the rules. That's the name of the game. So they can own everything they want.
Everybody's America has gone From being a nation of people who own their own property, own their own businesses, to a nation in debt because all money is created by borrowing, and this country has become people who just live by borrowing. What's my credit report? How much can I borrow this week? Much can I pay you off this week? People don't own their own houses anymore.
For this very reason, in the old days, you know, if if you wired money, you you wanted to pay it off as soon as possible. Now what people look to do is to have the lowest monthly payment they can get. They don't think they're ever owning their own house.
Speaker 27: Right.
Speaker 4: You know? And it's all based on a credit system excuse me, Mike. It's all based on a credit system because the Federal Reserve System is one that encourages debt. That's why you get credit cards in the mail all the time, borrow money, you know, go to college, borrow money, they bring you into the system at a very early age. And once you get into debt, you never get out, basically, between taxes, the income tax, the interest on your debt, and inflation, you can't get out from under.
It's it's it's very difficult for anybody, unless you're very, very wealthy, to ever survive in this country and and own anything Always in debt. Think of the 3 i's, interest payments are very high, income taxes, and inflation. Inflation is the silent tax People don't recognize the loss of their purchasing power. If you look at the dollar bill from the time the Federal Reserve came into being till today, The dollar is now worth about $0.04 from $1. I mean, houses today It's been
Speaker 27: in my lifetime. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean, houses today cost $1,000,000. Nothing.
Speaker 27: And the
Speaker 4: old my father bought his house in 1954.
Speaker 27: $4,000? No.
Speaker 4: It was 27,000. Okay? And Long Island in a very wealthy neighborhood. Well, that wasn't we were middle class. We were middle class.
Well, he had a home for $27,000 in a nice suburb of New York, you know? That was $27,000 in 1954, 'fifty five, and the house just resold again, not from him, but I was out there visiting it, And the guy who just bought the house just paid over $1,100,000 for it. Same house, no different. So the value the dollar value of that house has gone up, what, 50 times in 50 years. That's because they print so much money.
Inflation, the higher prices of things come because they print so much money.
Speaker 27: And we all buy into it.
Speaker 4: Well, you have to buy into it. You have no choice anymore. That's why I made this movie. You really don't have a choice as long as you have.
Speaker 27: That's true. In a lot of ways, we don't have a choice. In other ways, we have our own decisions to make as consumers, and we choose to go beyond our means also. Yes. In addition to that, we're we're exacerbating the the problem, but this is all by design.
Speaker 4: But you're taught that, and it is by design. You're taught that because it is by design.
Speaker 27: And let's talk about the by design part of it. This isn't an accident that We found ourselves in this condition.
Speaker 4: It's slavery. It's serfdom. I mean, just just take a look. You know, the, Democrats and Republicans in congress, right, have just allowed the Sparrow Reserve System to come into being, and now they're letting the banks charge Usurice rates of interest owe it 20, sometimes 30% on the money you borrow, and yet they make they they change the bankruptcy laws, so it's much more difficult to get out of debt. So they're making you debtors for life.
Everything is always on behalf of the banks. It's It's always on behalf of the Federal Reserve. You you have these high rates of interest, and at the same time, right, You can't declare bankruptcy anymore. They make it very difficult.
Speaker 27: You're in the little mill.
Speaker 4: You're you're you're you're in the on the spin you're the hamster on the wheel.
Speaker 27: Yeah. For life. Let's talk about why and the entities that have really helped set this up long term to have people in the little hamster melt of life.
Speaker 4: Well, it's set up. I mean, it came about because the bankers but there's been a fight throughout history. I mean, Andrew Jackson fought the fight. Thomas Jefferson fought the fight. You know, the bankers have always wanted to control the country because they're very clever and very smart people.
And they knew that if they could ever get the government to give them the right to issue the money, they would control the government. They would control the laws of the nation. That's why even today, you look at the immigration laws, you look what's happening with immigration in America. Why is it happening? On one hand, people say we had this nineeleven attack We have to get ID cards for people, RFID chips.
Everybody has to be identified. They have to go to the airport. They have to be searched.
Speaker 27: Right.
Speaker 4: Right? Everything is we got Security's foremost in in everybody's mind. Right? On the other hand, I know if I were the president And 911 came, the first thing I would do was shut off the borders so nobody come in there. So on one hand, they're telling Americans they have to be controlled with ID cards and RFID d chips and wanting to chip people.
And on the other hand, they're letting everybody come into the border. Terrorists, whoever wants to come in, can just walk over the border and come into the country. So you know it's a lie. It's not about terrorism. It's about the banks controlling the country and the world working together.
This is about the bankers wanting a one rule government without borders. That's why everybody's able to come through the borders. It's not about security at all. And so the situation we're facing today is we have a government that's controlled by the Federal Reserve System, And the Federal Reserve System has this appearance of credibility, and Alan Greenspan is the greatest guy in the world and now Bernanke. You know, all these guys, the Federal Reserve, you got to have the Federal Reserve.
But in reality, the Federal Reserve was part of the Communist Manifesto. They talk about America having, being a capitalistic society, you know, but yet you have a central bank that makes all the decisions. That's not capitalism. It's a fraud. It's a lie.
They they they deceive the people, and and they put out all this spin, all this Press. You know, the Federal Reserve is the greatest thing in the world, and they're gonna protect us, and they're gonna make sure there's no more depressions in this country. What they've done Is destroy the currency of this country, and they've taken all our gold while destroying the currency. And at some point, they're gonna probably pull the plug and create the greater depression.
Speaker 27: And we're talking about the silent hand behind the powers that we see on the news.
Speaker 4: Yes, totally. There's no question That the banker who the bankers control, whether it's George Bush or Hillary Clinton or whoever it is, it doesn't matter, Democrat or Republican, It's irrelevant. You know? That and that that's why, like, Michael Moore's movie, even though I enjoyed his movie and I I respected what he did as a filmmaker, I thought he did a very good job with that movie even though I didn't agree with everything he said. Mhmm.
Speaker 18: You know,
Speaker 4: I thought as just as a filmmaker, pure filmmaker, he did a good job. He got his points across. But on the other hand, what he did do was play into what the powers that be want him to play into.
Speaker 7: How so?
Speaker 4: He played into it because it was Democrat versus Republican.
Speaker 27: Keeping it more local
Speaker 4: than the way
Speaker 27: he is, There's a smaller
Speaker 4: No. No. No. No. No.
Keeping it polarized.
Speaker 27: Polarized. Right.
Speaker 4: Not smaller. Not bigger. Keeping it polarized. Red state versus blue state, Liberal versus conservative, Democrat versus Republican. Yes.
Michael Moore played into the system. And what the what the people want to happen. They want people looking at Democrats and Republicans and fighting over that Mhmm. Red states and blue states Mhmm. But not looking at the Federal Reserve as the real answer.
So they hide behind that. It's like The Wizard of Oz. The guy behind the curtain
Speaker 5: that curtain.
Speaker 4: The guy behind the curtain, the guy behind the curtain is the Federal Reserve. Well, it's really it's not even the Federal Reserve so much as the people behind the Federal Reserve. They use the Federal Reserve as a tool so they can control things. So what Michael Moore did was, you know, he increased the tension in America. You know, he kept the polarization alive, Which is what the people behind the curtain want.
And I don't think he did that because intentionally, I think he did it because that's his point of view. Right. And he doesn't know what the people behind the curtain, You know? And and my picture is more about where the real power lies. It's not Democrats and Republicans.
They're just puppets. Right. And my movie goes after the system and how the system is functioning and operating today and what's really going down, why people are so dissatisfied and unhappy in America and around the world. And, we try to address those issues and how to stop it from happening, You know? And so, what's happening is and it's not only in America now.
Right. I mean, we have the Faroes Air system here, but there are central banks all over the world, and they all work together. You know?
Speaker 27: Matter if it's China. Mhmm. It doesn't matter if it's Britain.
Speaker 4: Well, I I I I I can't speak for China, but I can tell you, Britain, you're right. It doesn't matter. And most most of the industrialized west, It doesn't matter. It's all central banks controlling the governments. And the central banks make secret agreements with each other.
Like, you know, our Congress, Like the Central Bank in America the other day said, there's this thing called M3. I don't want to get too technical here, but M3 is basically A measure of the money supply. The bigger the growth of the money supply, the less the dollar is worth. It loses value. The more you print the more you have of something less it's worth, right?
And so now they've decided they're not going to publish the figures of M3 anymore. They don't want people to know how much money they're printing.
Speaker 27: And then And
Speaker 4: that's something we have every right to know.
Speaker 27: Yes, we do. And we have large concerns. They hit that Magic number, was it last month, the $8,300,000,000,000
Speaker 4: That's just part of the debt. Yeah. But
Speaker 26: That's part of it. But that's
Speaker 27: a that was a big That's a big point to hit, isn't it?
Speaker 4: There's unfunded we have unfunded liabilities in this country of over $70,000,000,000,000. The $8,300,000,000 is just a portion of that.
Speaker 27: Yeah.
Speaker 4: You know? So the real question is, there's so much debt in this country, they've got to keep things afloat.
Speaker 5: Mhmm.
Speaker 18: So they
Speaker 4: have to keep printing tons and 1,000,000,000,000 and 1,000,000,000 of dollars. And it's getting so massive, they don't want to let us know how much they're printing. And, we have no way to measure how fast we're going to lose the purchasing power of our money. And then on the other hand, if they choose to stop printing money, they can cause the biggest depression that ever happened in this country in the world. And it's all in these guys' power.
I don't want to give them that power.
Speaker 27: Right.
Speaker 4: And it's unconstitutional and strong. Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, the founders of this country, Fought against having a central bank. It was one of the main objects that they fought against. And so we have this central bank controlling us and controlling the laws of the nation. And now you see the government talking about these RFID chips going and everything that can track you wherever you go.
It's going to be on your license your driver's license by May 2008. They're telling the states
Speaker 12: you have
Speaker 4: to put these chips in the driver's license. It's supposed
Speaker 18: to be
Speaker 27: in credit cards. It's to be in everything in
Speaker 39: the future.
Speaker 4: And they're going to chip people with it. They're going to put it into your bodies.
Speaker 27: Right. And none in our bodies, in our wallets, You walk through
Speaker 4: a turn
Speaker 27: but you walk through a turnstile, and you have a a barcode on something. The transaction's done.
Speaker 4: Of course. But but I'm saying to you that
Speaker 18: And then
Speaker 4: It goes in stages first. So you can have it on your driver's license. You can have it on your car, but, eventually, it's gonna end up in your hand.
Speaker 30: Yes.
Speaker 4: Right. It's going to end up in here. So you're going to have a homing device built into you. They can track you wherever they want to track you, wherever you want.
Speaker 27: If you have a cell phone or if you have a GPS system in your car, they can do that anyway. They can. It's just making it a lot easier.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, you chip night, you're going to be chipped like a dog. If I don't want to be chipped, I'm not going to be chipped. But the fact is, is that you're not going to be able to start your computer, or you're not going to be able to have a bank account. And if you're chipped, and all money now becomes digitized, they can take the chips out of you whenever they want to. I mean, they can take your money from you whenever they want to.
You have no say.
Speaker 12: And this is inside You
Speaker 4: owe us this much money. You owe us this much money, and they just take it out of your digits.
Speaker 18: Right.
Speaker 4: You know? So instead so you have no privacy left. You know? I mean, if I don't wanna have a cellphone, I can throw it away. If I don't want GPS in my car, I can get rid of it.
Speaker 18: Right.
Speaker 4: Once they wanna implant you in it and there's no more money, there's no more cash and you're in a cashless society, you have to have that chip. And if you want to buy food, right, so and if they If you're a pro if you protest like I do, if you fight what they're doing, they can just turn off my chip. I can't even buy food. I can't pay my bills. Right?
It's total control. It's slavery.
Speaker 18: It's slavery.
Speaker 4: It's slavery. And the central bankers are doing that. And I'm not prepared to allow them to do it. That's why I made this movie. I want people to wake up and know what's really happening in this country and the world.
That's what that what happened in Europe recently. They voted down the they voted down the European constitution. Right? But then that's stopping. They're going forward anyway because they want first, they want to put the world into blocks, the Europeans, the Asians, the Americas, into 3 and then they want to bring it all together.
I mean, it's a one world government. Even voting has no more. It doesn't mean anything. I mean, think about your government. You want to live in a government where you have a say.
That's why they say local government is the best government because you have a voice. And now in America today, in the federal government, you know you have no voice. You have nothing to say. Imagine a world government. What are you gonna be able to say?
Nothing. Nobody's gonna listen to you. It's a it's just a tool for these people. You're a tool. You're a hamster, and they're gonna suck you dry and spit you out.
They don't care about you.
Speaker 27: And you're a revenue source, and I wouldn't mind getting into that because you
Speaker 11: came out with both
Speaker 18: guns firing about the IRS and the legality of the IRS. This is huge.
Speaker 27: Right. I about the IRS and the legality of the IRS. This is huge. I've been reading about it for years, but I kept thinking, okay. I see what they're saying.
However, they can still throw you in jail. Yes. Can you talk about the whole fraud of the IRS?
Speaker 4: Yeah. I will in a second. But you said something about being a revenue source, which reminded me of something. Okay. I was friendly with 1 of the Rockefellers.
Okay? And, he said to me one day, which just blew my mind. He said, Aaron, remember that whole thing with Women's Lib when it was the Biggest thing I saw in all the magazines and television, women's lib. Women have a right to work just like they had a right to vote, and you make sure that you have a right to work, and they fight for women's live with the right woman's right to work. He says, we were promoting that whole thing, you know, the council on foreign relations, because we want to get the women in the workforce.
We want to be able to tax them. That's why you're certain all the newspapers all the time. And and and the added plus was Then they had to put their kids in child care and to schools early so we can control their minds at a young age. That's what that was all about. You called it women's lib, you know?
But it was about Giving us control, and nobody realized that.
Speaker 27: And now we got it. Now women are as exhausted as men. They're on the treadmill.
Speaker 4: We're dealing with very diabolical people, very devious diabolical people who are incredibly intelligent, who control the money They control the army. They control the government. And, it's very hard to stop them. And the way to stop them, in my view and it could be done Even though we're very close to it to losing this game
Speaker 18: You're at
Speaker 27: a point of no return.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're very close to that. But the way to do it is to shut down the Federal Reserve System, To have all Americans, while we still have a chance, you see, con Congress has the legal authority to shut down the Federal Reserve. Right?
Speaker 18: But if
Speaker 27: they don't have the courage to do it Well,
Speaker 4: because how do we? Well, because if we mass We protest it and tell every politician, you know, you you that you have to listen to the world of people, not to the world of Federal Reserve Bankers, and we're gonna vote you out of office unless you sign an affidavit saying you're going to shut down the Federal Reserve System. And that will be the litmus test on who to vote for, not whether they're Democrats, Not whether they're Republicans, but will you sign an affidavit saying, I will shut down the I will be part of shutting down the Federal Reserve System. I will vote to shut it down. And drop all the other issues, whether it's gun control or environment or whatever, because nothing's gonna matter if you don't get rid of the Federal Reserve.
Speaker 18: Right.
Speaker 4: If you can get if we can get everybody just focused on the Federal Reserve System like a laser beam and drop all the other stuff temporarily and just shut them down, you'll have a chance of saving the country. You know? That's what it's gonna take. And we can still do it because congress has the authority to do it, And congress needs you and me to vote for them to get back into office.
Speaker 27: But for this to happen, we have to, It's up to also you and me, and many others, to begin educating the public as to what we're really up against. Like
Speaker 4: Which is why I made the movie.
Speaker 27: Exactly. Which is, I just Totally applaud you on that. Let's go can we go into the IRS?
Speaker 4: Let's talk
Speaker 27: about it. That's huge.
Speaker 4: Well, the IRS is huge, but don't forget, the IRS is just part of the Federal Reserve System problem. And in actuality, There is no law. I've I've researched this very thoroughly, because I kept hearing for years, there's no law that you have to pay, and I sort of pooh poohed it all. Yeah. I do.
And they make you think anybody says that's a wacko and a kook, you know, but there is no law. Let me just say straight out. There is no law that requires you to file a 10 40. I researched this and I'll tell you why there's no law. First of all, the constitution says that there's 2 kinds of taxation, Direct taxes and indirect taxes.
A direct tax must be apportioned and done by census, which means that a direct tax, which is what a tax on your labor would be with a direct tax, you can't get away from it, right? A direct tax on your labor would have to be a portion, being divided amongst all the people equally, right? And an indirect tax It's like an excise tax. It's like, a tax that you don't have to pay if you don't use the service.
Speaker 27: Luxury car or something.
Speaker 4: Well, not even a luxury car came in late, but like gasoline. If you don't want to drive a car, if you want to take a bicycle, you don't buy gas, you don't pay the tax. So that's called an indirect tax. But that indirect tax has to be the same In every state, it has to be uniform. Okay?
So there's 2 kinds of taxes, direct and indirect, in the Constitution. In 18/94, they tried to pass an income tax on your labor. The Supreme Court said you can't do that, it's unconstitutional, and they stopped. In 1913, to get around that power decision of 18/94, They they passed the 16th Amendment, which said we can tax any income from any place for the rest of forever, okay? And Once they passed that tax, then people started paying an income tax on the land.
It became it became a third form of taxation. Mhmm.
Speaker 18: You
Speaker 4: had direct Apportion tax, you had the indirect tax, and now you had a direct tax that was unapportioned, okay? So you had 3 forms of taxation now. But Two things. The amendment was never ratified properly. It was a fraud, okay, And that's been proven.
But the 2nd point is this. Even if it wasn't a fraud and had been ratified properly, even if it had been, The Supreme Court, in 8 different decisions that I have researched, said the 16th Amendment gave the government No new power of taxation. They can't tax the labor of the American people, so It was finished. And in 1917, they stopped taxing, so they did it for 3 years, right? And so there is no tax on the labor of the American people no legal tax and no constitutional tax.
So they've made the the IRS code Right? Says whatever it says. But whatever it says is irrelevant because it's not in compliance with the Supreme Court decisions.
Speaker 27: Right.
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 16: Mhmm. And
Speaker 4: so and even the IRS code, if you actually examine it, okay, even though it's irrelevant, doesn't comply with the Supreme Court.
Speaker 3: Mhmm.
Speaker 4: Actually, if you examine it, there's there's still no law that makes you pay tax on your labor.
Speaker 27: Right. Yet every one of us most well, I guess there are, what, 970,000,000 Americans who don't. But most of the rest of us are on the treadmill, and we're paying dutifully our taxes on time each year.
Speaker 4: Well, they make you feel if you don't pay it, you're not a good citizen. That's part of their propaganda. Wow. And that's what allows them to keep spending money.
Speaker 27: But in fact, it's not just you saying this. What I found very, Compelling in your film is that you're talking with former IRS agents and investigators, who were put to the task of finding out on behalf of inquiries, as to whether or not this was a legal practice, only to find out that it wasn't legal. And in fact, some of these people who were formerly with the IRS have not paid their taxes since they found out about this.
Speaker 4: Right. Now There are many IRS agents, former agents, who have left the IRS Because they did the research and they were in there before I was. And they deserve to be honored for the work they've done, because it's a giant in my opinion, it's a giant scam. And It takes
Speaker 27: a lot of courage to do that, though, because what are we still up
Speaker 3: Well, the
Speaker 4: thing is, they were up against the police state because what they'll do is, even though there's no law, they threaten people with harm, you see? When I interviewed the IRS commission or the ex IRS commission who wrote the tax code, he was general counsel to the IRS, He was the commissioner to the IRS and he wrote the tax code. Okay? His name is Sheldon Cohen. And I interviewed him for the movie.
And in the movie, he says, Supreme Court decisions are inapplicable to the IRS.
Speaker 27: Mhmm. Interesting. And what what does he give He
Speaker 4: has not just because he because I put him into a corner. He couldn't answer the questions. So he was forced at the end to say, It doesn't you know, the Supreme Court decisions don't matter, which we all know is a lie. Right. So the IRS is not beyond the Supreme Court.
So there is no law that allows the government to have a direct, unapportioned tax On your labor now, an income tax is defined by the Supreme Court as a corporate gain. You see, there is an income tax, but it's not a tax on your labor. An income tax is actually a tax on gains by corporations. That's the definition of an income tax in the eyes and the versus Macumbray case, if anybody wants to go look it up, right? And so, yeah, there's an income tax, but it's not a tax on you.
It's a tax on corporations.
Speaker 27: Right. And this has been pressed this was pressed with many administration, including the Clinton administration as well as now. And so, it really does cut across political boundaries. And, can you talk a little bit about the background? You have a bite in there, a sound bite in there from -Uh, Judge Emmett Sullivan?
-Yes. -Can you tell about how that came about? It was really just a shocking statement.
Speaker 4: Well, what happened was that there's this group called We the People, and, they served a petition on the government For the government to show the war that they're enforcing, we have a right to petition. Under the First Amendment, people have a right to petition their government to get answers to things. The government is the servant of the people, not the other way around. So they petitioned the government to get answers. And the government refused to answer the question about where the law is.
So So they went to court. And this is Judge Sullivan, and said in his decision that the government does not have to answer the people's questions about where the law is.
Speaker 27: Now that is beyond chilling.
Speaker 4: Yes. Just there's no we don't have a constitution anymore. We don't have a government run by the people anymore. We live in a totalitarian country today. That's the bottom line.
We live in totalitarianism. And if you want to get it back, We have to get rid of the Federal Reserve System. We have to make people have the control of their government again.
Speaker 27: Before we're all chipped?
Speaker 4: Before we're all chipped. I see. I know I'm not going to get take an ID card, you know? And nobody should take an ID card, Even if it's in your driver's license, you know, they're going to what they're going to do is say, well, everybody knows they need a driver's license, right? So we're going to put in the driver's license, which they can't turn down.
I said, okay, if you just had a separate ID card, you would say, well, I don't want that card. I'm not going to take it.
Speaker 18: If you
Speaker 4: send my driver's license, I better get it because I have to drive. So they're very smart people. They they put you into situations where you have to take things from them. But even if it's in even if it's in the driver's license, you shouldn't take it. Don't take the ID card.
And I'm planning a series of nationwide Strikes and revolt against what's happening in the government to wake people up, to shut down the Federal Reserve System, to stop these chips from being employed. You know, and I expect that my movie is going to raise a lot of, awareness and activity from people. People start getting a vibe when they realize what's really happening and how all these central banks of the world are working together. I mean, sometimes you say the word New World Order, and people oh, you're just a conspiracy nut, you know?
Speaker 27: Yeah. You know, that's that's not true anymore, though, is
Speaker 4: Well, some people. And so I show George Bush in the movie talking about the New World Order. He knows so okay. And so, the point is, the new world order is really where all the governments of the world all the central banks of the world work together, They can they control the governments, and they can control the laws of the world. And we're gonna have to be forced to listen to these laws.
And the laws are about controlling us, not giving us freedom, you know? And so unless we get back to our idea of individual rights, individual freedoms, and allowed to express yourself in the way you want, you know, we're going to lose this game. And most people get active and say,
Speaker 27: Yeah. I'm
Speaker 4: gonna shut down the Federal Reserve System. I'm gonna shut down the powers that be, we're doomed otherwise.
Speaker 27: Is there any means beyond that? Say, For example, we're not successful in shutting down the federal reserve, what about strength in numbers with the individuals? What if, half the country is refusing to pay their income tax, for example.
Speaker 18: Well, they
Speaker 4: already the half country already does not pay it. But,
Speaker 27: Seriously, a 67,000,000
Speaker 4: people are
Speaker 27: not have I been doing?
Speaker 4: I'm told 67,000,000 people by the IRS themselves aren't filing. But I don't think it's all because they were protesting. I think there's a lot of that just
Speaker 27: By default, they couldn't pay the taxes.
Speaker 4: By default, or They're trying to skip it or whatever, you know. But, I
Speaker 12: mean I mean
Speaker 4: I mean, even if we can't get the congress to shut down the phones air system, Then you shut down the country with massive strikes, get everybody to stop. I mean, you just get a peep because people are gonna begin to realize because we're coming near the end game, And things are starting to accelerate, you know? And people looking at George Bush is going to declare martial law, they think.
Speaker 27: Yes. There's a lot of fear about that.
Speaker 18: It
Speaker 4: wouldn't surprise me.
Speaker 27: Right? In fact, there's already some there's already some talk. It's not even talk that Homeland Security is going to be involved in federal If if we have a national emergency and auditing what you can and can't remove from your own safety deposit boxes at some of the country's largest banks?
Speaker 4: Oh, yes. There's no question that there's stuff going around where if they want to repossess the gold and that people have private You don't
Speaker 27: have private, personal Private, personal Right.
Speaker 18: You know,
Speaker 4: you won't be able to go into a bank vault without somebody from Homeland Security there with you to see what you're taking out. You know, I mean, it's a complete take To Well, executive there are executive orders out there that say the government has the ability to put you on a work detail. In In other words, let's say you're a teacher in Oregon. They could put you digging ditches in Ohio. That's an executive order.
They can relocate whole populations if they want to. That's these are real executive orders. I mean, the government is planning a takeover of the American people. I understand, and I haven't I've I know some of this to be true, but I understand there are 800 in terminate camps.
Speaker 27: I was just going to ask you this question next, and I didn't know it was up to 800. But not it's my understanding that not only do they exist, I actually went to conference listening to an engineer, very dry presentation on how they build them, how they tunnel that far every day, and the kind of technical end of building these camps underground, which are spotted all over the United States.
Speaker 4: Yes.
Speaker 27: Now most people don't know these exist. No. No. The heck are they building them for if not for use?
Speaker 4: Well, they claim they're billing them for if there's too much immigration to the country, you know, if it gets crazy
Speaker 27: Round everybody up.
Speaker 4: You know, at this point, it's hard to know what's in their minds. All I know is the fact is that that they're building them. That's for real.
Speaker 27: Right.
Speaker 4: And how they're gonna use them is speculation on my part. Right. But any good any good logical way of thinking, let you know what they're going to use them for. And so even though I can't prove what's in their minds, it's pretty obvious. And It seems to me that what we have to fight for is to restore the very essence of what Thomas Jefferson and James Madison gave us here, that we control the government.
This is about We The People again, not about the government and these bankers working together to stifle us. You know? And unless the people wake up and say, hey, I'm not going to take this anymore, you know? I'm mad as hell. I'm not going to do this, and stop it.
Because we have the power. We still have the power. They can't if we resist, there's nothing they can do.
Speaker 27: The problem is we're asleep at the wheel. We're being lulled by Well,
Speaker 4: But people like you are trying to wake people up. I'm trying to wake people up. There's more people awake now than they've ever been before. I see that happening and I think a picture like mine can help wake people up to what the truth is, and possibly, the word will spread. And if we can all get focused on how to win the game instead of all these different, what, objectives, you know, all these different,
Speaker 27: Keeping us polarized.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, no. No. I don't even mean that. I mean, there are people who are fighting, you know, to get a better environment.
There are people who are fighting for the lack of gun control.
Speaker 18: There are
Speaker 4: all these different issues that are going on around the country,
Speaker 18: Mhmm.
Speaker 4: Which are all important on their own. Mhmm. But if we can sort of consolidate all that and focus, take all those people and say, listen. We should down the phones there first, then we'll deal with those issues.
Speaker 27: Right.
Speaker 4: You know? Let's let's go to the agenda, the objective first, then we'll go back to the other stuff. Right. Because that's that's the priority right now. You gotta call off the head of the beast.
Speaker 27: Right. Right?
Speaker 4: And the head of the beast is the Federal Reserve and the people behind it. You see? And that's what will save this country. And if people understand that and they stop being good Democrats and stop being good Republicans, but rather become good Americans Mhmm. That's what

The key focus should be on how much the government is spending, as that is the true tax. Every budget is balanced, meaning you are always paying for it, whether through explicit taxes, inflation, or borrowing. The important thing is to control government spending as a percentage of our income. By doing so, we can alleviate concerns about the debt.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Keep your eye on one thing and one thing only, how much government is spending because that's the true tax. Every budget is balanced. There is no such thing as an unbalanced federal budget. You are paying for it. If you are not paying for it through it in the form of explicit taxes, You're paying for it indirectly in the form of inflation or in the form of borrowing.
The thing you should keep your eye on is what government spends. And the real problem is to hold down government spending as a fraction of our income. And if you do that, you can stop worrying about the debt.

Is Taxation theft and IRS a fraud? https://t.co/v1RdfDxNSq
Video Transcript AI Summary
The speakers in the video discuss their experiences and research regarding the requirement to file a tax return and pay income tax. Speaker 0 initially couldn't find a specific law mandating tax returns, leading to their resignation. Speaker 1 left the IRS after raising concerns about the agency's violation of the law and people's rights. Speaker 2 conducted research to win a $50,000 challenge, but couldn't find the law either. They believe that if the truth is revealed, it would expose a fraudulent system. Speaker 3 was surprised to hear IRS agents say there was no law requiring tax filing or payment. Both Speaker 0 and Speaker 2 admit to not filing tax returns, and they mention that millions of others also don't file.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: I really expected that, of course, there's a law that you can point to in the law book, the code that requires you to file a tax return. Of course, there is. I mean I don't know what it is right then as we as he was speaking to me, but sure. So naively I agreed to go off and research it and get back to him. Is.
Three and a half months later, I was at that point where I couldn't find the statute that clearly made a person liable, at least not me and most people I know. And I had no no choice in my mind except to to resign.
Speaker 1: I had to leave the IRS because I presented evidence that I had accumulated indicating that the agency was violating the law and violating people's rights. Is. And I asked the agency for a response to my sincere concerns, and the answer I got is. Was that they would not respond to my concerns and that they would, provide me with the paperwork necessary to tender my resignation.
Speaker 2: But We, The People Foundation For Constitutional Education, put a full page ad in the USA Today on July 7, 2000. And And within the body of that ad was a $50,000 challenge for anyone that could show the law. And to me, $50,000 is a lot of money. So I went after that is. And did the research based on the fact that I thought, let's put this baby to bed.
I'm hearing all these rumors. You know, I'm gonna kill 2 birds with 1 stone. I'll answer these people's questions that are asking me, and then I'll win this $50,000. Is. And, you know, based on the research that I did throughout the year 2000 and that I'm still doing, I have not found that law.
I've asked, congress. We've asked A lot of people in the IRS, IRS commissioners, helpers, they can't answer because if they answer, the American people are gonna know that this whole thing is a fraud. Is.
Speaker 3: I was surprised to hear these highly trained and decorated IRS agents telling me there was no law requiring American citizens To file a 10 40 or to pay an income tax on their labor.
Speaker 0: I haven't filed an income, federal income tax return since I left.
Speaker 2: I have not filed a tax return since 1999. Approximately 67,000,000 people don't file an income tax return.

IS IT UNCONSTITUTIONAL TO PAY INCOME TAXES? https://t.co/cEv2Kq2TUC
Video Transcript AI Summary
In 1894, Congress attempted to implement an income tax but it was deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. In 1913, they tried again, but the Supreme Court stated that the 16th Amendment did not grant new taxation powers. Therefore, there is no constitutional basis for taxing the wages of American citizens in the 50 states. A letter from Daniel Inouye's office confirms that there is no specific law requiring individuals to pay income tax, and no one has been able to prove otherwise.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: It's actually very simple. Congress tried to enact an income tax in 18/94. The Supreme Court said that's unconstitutional. When the Supreme Court says something is unconstitutional, it's unconstitutional. They tried again in 1913 and the Supreme Court said, The 16th Amendment conferred no new power of taxation.
So if they didn't have it then and they didn't get it, they don't have it. There is no constitutional basis for a tax on the wages of Americans living and working in the 50 states of the union, period, End of argument. I have
Speaker 1: a letter here from Daniel Inouye's office of the United States Senate that says, Based on the research performed by the Congressional Research Service, there is no provisions which specifically and unequivocally require an individual to pay an income tax.

A former IRS commissioner is interviewed about the tax code and income tax laws. He argues that the IRS code is voluntary compliance, not mandatory, and defends the IRS's actions. The interviewer challenges the legality of income tax on labor, citing Supreme Court decisions. The former commissioner dismisses the arguments and asserts the IRS's authority. The interview ends with a confrontation, revealing a lack of transparency in tax laws and enforcement. The interviewer questions the legality of income tax on wages and calls for the IRS to show the law to the public.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: So I called Sheldon Cohn because he used to be the IRS commissioner. He wrote the tax code, and he was also general counsel to the IRS. He is a shoe expert, and I couldn't find a better person to answer my questions. He graciously agreed to my interview. The reason I'm doing this documentary is because there are many people in America today who believe that there's no law that requires them to pay an income tax or file a a 10:40.
And there are many people going to jail for it, fighting over it.
Speaker 1: The Internal Revenue Code is authorized by the 16th Amendment.
Speaker 0: I think it should be clarified. I don't I don't I think government should be transparent to the people. Why doesn't the IRS commissioner sit down with them and just explain it in clear English why I
Speaker 1: don't think they really care. They all think I thought I think they're just playing word games.
Speaker 0: You don't think they're sincere people yet?
Speaker 1: No. I don't think they're sincere
Speaker 0: What does voluntary compliance mean? And what does the IRS code say it's voluntary to comply, not mandatory?
Speaker 1: That's a word euphemism we use. We we use voluntary compliance when we when we when we talk about traffic signals. Most people at 2 o'clock in the morning, do you stop at a red light?
Speaker 0: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Is there a cop there?
Speaker 0: Sometimes I don't.
Speaker 1: I do. I do. Both and most of us do. Most of us do.
Speaker 0: Right.
Speaker 1: But that's voluntary compliance.
Speaker 0: That was a complete perversion of logic. Traffic laws state that it is mandatory to stop at a red light. The IRS code says it's voluntary to comply. Mandatory and voluntary are the complete opposite of each other, yet he wants us to believe that they mean the same thing. So can the government criminally prosecute somebody of information put on their 10:40?
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 0: Right. So it doesn't apply the 5th Amendment? No. But the 5th Amendment says I I I don't have to do anything that incriminates myself.
Speaker 1: Well, that doesn't incriminate you to put put your income down.
Speaker 0: What you said before, put put in jail for it. The commissioner wants us to believe that although the IRS demands that you fill out the 10:40 and you can go to jail for it, that they are not violating your 5th amendment rights of self incrimination. That is absurd. Isn't it true that the word income is not defined anywhere in the Internal Revenue Code?
Speaker 1: The law says that the the government has a right to tax income from any source derived.
Speaker 0: So but the word income is not defined in the code. It just says income without a definition of what income is. That's right. Correct?
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 0: But there are many different kinds of taxes. Well, how can American citizen know what income is if the code doesn't define it? If they're paying
Speaker 1: an income tax courts are well defined.
Speaker 0: Do you remember what constitutional attorney Edwin Viera said? The definition of income in the constitution was given in the Eisner versus Montgomery case, and it turns on gains or profits that are made from some activity. So the Supreme Court has ruled, income is not wages, It's not labor. It's gained from corporate activity. I believe that a man's labor is his private property.
Speaker 1: That's your view, but it's not the law.
Speaker 2: The Supreme Court's even said your labor is your private property. When I go to work for somebody, it's a trade. It's an even exchange. I do some work. You give me some money.
Speaker 0: In 1916, we had the Bruce Shabler case and the Stanton case. And the Bruce Shabler case and the Stanton case said that the 16th amendment gave the government no new taxing power.
Speaker 1: I I'm not gonna argue the niceties of that with you.
Speaker 3: And it came up again in a case called Peck versus Lowe where where the Supreme Court said the 16th amendment did not extend congress's taxing power to any new or accepted subjects. In other words, if you weren't taxable before 16th, you weren't taxable after 16th.
Speaker 0: Today, I interviewed a juror. I've got to set on a case, And, they found the person not guilty for lack of filing. Okay? And I asked her why they found him not guilty. And she said because the IRS couldn't show us the law that made them liable to file a 10:40.
Speaker 3: All they need to do, if there is a law, is to show us the law, which, of course, they never did.
Speaker 0: And the reason they didn't do it was why?
Speaker 3: Because there is no law.
Speaker 1: Title 26 requires you to file a return.
Speaker 0: But doesn't title 26 have to be in compliance with the Supreme Court decisions?
Speaker 1: You're gonna take a 1920 case and superimpose it on the holding term Remedy code that was written after it? No. That's not
Speaker 0: I can't believe what I just heard. Rewind.
Speaker 1: You're gonna take a 1920 case and superimpose it on the whole Internal Revenue Code that was written after it? No. That's not
Speaker 0: Remember he said earlier the Internal Revenue Code was authorized by the 16th Amendment?
Speaker 1: The Internal Revenue Code is authorized by the 16th Amendment.
Speaker 0: Remember, the Supreme Court said the 16th amendment did not give the government any new taxing power. These decisions have never been overturned. Let's listen further. Can the lower courts overrule the Supreme Court?
Speaker 1: No. How are
Speaker 0: they putting people in jail today if they're not paying a tax on their labor when the Supreme Court said they don't have to? Doesn't the IRS code have to be in compliance to the Supreme Court? That's my Here is
Speaker 1: this is a waste of time. Well, let me just whatever I say, you're not gonna believe.
Speaker 0: He's right. I don't believe him, and neither should you. He wants us to believe we should obey the IRS code, which is being enforced in violation of the many Supreme Court decisions. If the Supreme Court made a
Speaker 1: decision Thank you. Thank you, Aaron. I think we're finished.
Speaker 0: I'm sorry, mister Cohen, for doing that.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm sorry that you you constantly reargue the point. You're liable because the law says that you're reliable, and the courts say the law says you're liable, and that's why you're liable.
Speaker 0: You see, he's talking about the lower courts who are not in compliance with the Supreme Court as they have to be. Doesn't the court have to be in compliance to Supreme Court?
Speaker 1: The Supreme Court has so held. Where? You caught me unprepared.
Speaker 0: I'll come back with you.
Speaker 1: I don't wanna do that.
Speaker 0: But let let me ask you a hypothetical question.
Speaker 1: You're making silly arguments here.
Speaker 0: Why is the Supreme Court decision a silly argument?
Speaker 1: Well, because it's inapplicable.
Speaker 0: That made my heart stop. He just said Supreme Court decisions do not apply to the IRS. That's the behavior you would expect from a totalitarian country, maybe China or Russia or Cuba, not from America. They're just making up the laws they go along. Now I knew the tax honesty movement was right.
The IRS thrives on intimidation and fear, not by law. It's no different than a criminal protection racket using force to extract your money from you. Then the former IRS commissioner, now working at a prestigious Washington law firm, threatens me. Watch.
Speaker 1: Aaron, you understand Yiddish. Hornisht Helfen.
Speaker 0: For those of you who don't understand Yiddish, that means nothing will help you. Now it all became clear. I understood why the IRS wouldn't go on camera and talk about where the law was. I understood why all the senators I called refused to be interviewed. There is no law.
And now you know what our political leaders and the courts have known for decades and have tried to cover up. The United States constitution strictly forbids a direct unapportion tax on the wages and salaries of American citizens. The United States Supreme Court has consistently ruled that the income tax is a tax on profits and gains, not on labor and wages. On behalf of the American people, I challenge the IRS to show me a statute that allows a direct unapportioned tax on the wages and labor of the American people. And if I'm wrong, I will give my most humble apologies to the IRS.
If the IRS is wrong and there is no law, then every person who's been jailed should be let out of jail immediately, and any asset seized should be returned to their rightful owners. If this is a nation of laws and a free country, then the IRS should show the law to the American people.

In the past 3 years, more people have left than joined the Canadian Armed Forces, leading to recruitment issues. The speaker criticizes the government for prioritizing spending on various projects over supporting veterans and the military. They highlight examples of what they perceive as wasteful spending, totaling over $600 billion, suggesting this may contribute to low recruitment numbers due to lack of support for those who serve the country.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Over the past 3 years, more people have left than have have entered. That is is frankly, it's it's it's it's a death spiral for the Canadian Armed Forces.
Speaker 1: I haven't read anything about this or anything. I'm I'm just going purely on instinct here, but I'm thinking that one of the reasons why recruitment might be down is because who in their right fucking mind would join Canada's military under this government? 6 years ago, that's pre COVID, remember, when this country was still kind of livable but teetering, a veteran asked Justin Trudeau why he was fighting veterans in court for benefits that they were promised. They were asking for more than we could give. Remember that answer?
That was a lie. Apparently, we had 1,000,000,000. Billions upon 1,000,000,000. You just didn't wanna give any of to our military unless it was to pay for men's tampons or to help veterans sign up for MAID. Your government spent $40,000,000 fighting veterans asking for what amounted to a $1,000,000,000 and change, if I remember.
People who serve this country and for almost all of them at great personal cost because military life in general just comes at great personal cost. That's why it's so honorable. It's it's not like being prime minister. But I digress. There was an estimated $90,000,000,000 just in fiscal waste during COVID.
See what I did there? 21,000,000,000 to Stellantis and Volkswagen, an investment that will take 50 years just to break even if everything goes well, and it isn't going well. 4,000,000,000 to Ukraine, a country our prime minister speaks of with more passion and more zeal than I've ever seen him express about this country. 2,000,000,000 to a company I can't tell you the name of because it doesn't exist. 2,000,000,000 to invest in AI companies, like what we did with the electric car companies, invest our money in them and then force us to buy their product.
How can we lose? 600,000,000 to build shitty houses quickly because unlike conservatives, Liberals are taking Canada forward with wartime housing and windmills. 60,000,000 for Arrive scan, and that's only an estimate. We can't really determine the actual cost because it was so poorly managed and documented, So incompetently handled from start to finish that one would almost have to believe it was done on purpose. 10,000,000 to Loblaw for green freezers because freezing in the streets is good enough for Canadian veterans, but, you know, not our food.
The list goes on and on to the tune of, I think over 600,000,000,000 now, almost as much as Trudeau has gotten in free vacations from close family friends. So the it's just a guess, but maybe that's why recruitment is down. Maybe it's because your government shows nothing but contempt for the people it serves and even more so for the people you ask to serve it. Maybe no one wants to stand on guard for thee when the only veterans your government ever stood for were Ukrainian Nazis.

We went from a small tax on tea to being heavily taxed on everything - from earning money to spending it, commuting, owning a home, and even dying. The complexity of our tax system is overwhelming, with over 26,100 pages in the federal tax code alone, not to mention thousands more IRS regulations written by bureaucrats. It's a never-ending cycle of taxation on every aspect of our lives.

Speaker 0: How did we go from fighting a revolution over a 2% tax on a breakfast beverage to what we paid today? And we're taxed on money when we receive it, when we spend it, when we keep it, when we invest it, and even when we die with it. It gets worse. We commute to work to make that money in a car that is taxed again to register on roads we're already taxed to build, fueled by gas that is taxed even further and many times through tolls that tax you again. And so that's to maintain bridges and highways and tunnels that already have 1,000,000,000 of dollars, taxpayer dollars allocated to them, and they're still falling apart.
And then when you get to your office that is taxed to exist in a corporation that all is also taxed to do business that almost certainly requires permits and other things, which are another tax, you are paid a paycheck that the corporation must match another payroll tax on top of what they have to pay you. Then you go to a home of which you are taxed to own every single year that we bought with money that the government already taxed us on. Oh, by the way, the more money you make and the more you pay in taxes, warrants the government taking more and even higher percentages of your money. Now if you're angry, hold that thought. Our federal tax code is 26 100 pages.

Speaker 4: As there is no law.
Speaker 1: Title 26 requires you to file a return.
Speaker 0: But doesn't title 26 have to be in compliance with the Supreme Court decisions?
Speaker 1: You're gonna take a 1920 case and superimpose it on the holding term Remedy code that was written after it? No. That's not
Speaker 0: I can't believe what I just heard. Rewind.
Speaker 1: You're gonna take a 1920 case and superimpose it
Speaker 5: on the whole Internal Revenue Code
Speaker 1: that was written after it? No. That's not
Speaker 0: Remember he said earlier the Internal Revenue Code was authorized by the 16th Amendment?
Speaker 1: The Internal Revenue Code is authorized by the 16th Amendment.
Speaker 0: Remember, the supreme court said the 16th amendment did not give the government any new taxing power. These decisions have never been overturned. Let's listen further. Can the lower courts overrule the Supreme Court?
Speaker 1: No. How
Speaker 0: are they putting people in jail today if they're not paying a tax on their labor when the Supreme Court said they don't have to? Well, doesn't the IRS code have to be in compliance to the Supreme Court? That's my error is
Speaker 1: this is a waste of time. Well, let me Because whatever I say, you're not gonna believe.
Speaker 0: He's right. I don't believe him, and neither should you. He wants us to believe we should obey the IRS code, which is being enforced in violation of the many Supreme Court decisions. If the Supreme Court made a
Speaker 1: decision Thank you. Thank you, Aaron. I think we're finished.
Speaker 0: I'm sorry, mister Cohen, to doing that.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm sorry that you you constantly re argue the point. You're liable because the law says that you're reliable, and the courts say the law says you're liable, and that's why you're liable.
Speaker 0: You see, he's talking about the lower courts who are not in compliance with the Supreme Court as they have to be. Doesn't the court have to be in compliance to Supreme Court?
Speaker 1: The Supreme Court has so held. Where? You caught me unprepared.
Speaker 0: I'll come back. No.
Speaker 1: I don't wanna do that.
Speaker 0: But let let me ask you a hypothetical question.
Speaker 1: You're making silly arguments here.
Speaker 0: Why is the Supreme Court decision a silly argument?
Speaker 1: Well, because it's inapplicable.
Speaker 0: That made my heart stop. He just said Supreme Court decisions do not apply to the IRS. That's the behavior you would expect from a totalitarian country, maybe China or Russia or Cuba, not from America. They're just making up the laws they go along. Now I knew the tax honesty movement was right.
The IRS thrives on intimidation and fear, not by law. It's no different than a criminal protection racket using force to extract your money from you. Then the former IRS commissioner, now working at a prestigious Washington law firm, threatens me. Watch.
Speaker 1: Aaron, you understand Yiddish. Horn ist haufen.
Speaker 0: For those of you who don't understand Yiddish, that means nothing will help you. Now it all became clear. I understood why the IRS wouldn't go on camera and talk about where the law was. I understood why all the senators I called refused to be interviewed. There is no law.
And now you know what our political leaders and the courts have known for decades and have tried to cover up. The United States constitution strictly forbids a direct unapportion tax on the wages and salaries of American citizens. The United States Supreme Court has consistently ruled that the income tax is a tax on profits and gains, not on labor and wages. On behalf of the American people, I challenge the IRS to show me a statute that allows a direct unapportioned tax on the wages and labor of the American people. And if I'm wrong, I will give my most humble apologies to the IRS.
If the IRS is wrong and there is no law, then every person who's been jailed should be let out of jail immediately, and any asset seized should be returned to their rightful owners. If this is a nation of laws and a free country, then the IRS should show the law to the American people.

We started with a small tax revolt, but now we're taxed on everything - earning, spending, saving, investing, and even dying. We pay taxes on our commute, work, and home, which we already bought with taxed money. The more we earn, the more the government takes. Taxes are everywhere, from our morning coffee to our paycheck.

Speaker 0: How did we go from fighting a revolution over a 2% tax on a breakfast beverage to what we pay today? And we're taxed on money when we receive it, it, when we spend it, when we keep it, when we invest it, and even when we die with it. It gets worse. We commute to work to make that money in a car that is taxed again to And so that's to maintain bridges and highways and tunnels that already have 1,000,000,000 of dollars. And so that's to maintain bridges and highways and tunnels that already have 1,000,000,000 of dollars, taxpayer dollars allocated to them and they're still falling apart.
Falling apart. And then when you get to your office that is taxed to exist in a corporation that all is also taxed to do business, that almost certainly requires permits and other things, which are another tax, you are paid a paycheck that the corporation must match another payroll tax on top of what they have to pay you. Then you go to a home of which you are taxed to own every single year that we bought with money that the government already taxed us on. Oh, by the way, the more money you make and the more you pay in taxes, warrants the government taking more and even higher percentages of your money.

Democrats are discussing both the importance of homeownership and taxing unrealized gains, which would apply to investments, including houses. A first-time homebuyer receiving $25,000 assistance and purchasing a $100,000 house could be taxed on the unrealized gain if the house value increases to $150,000 the next year, even without having that money. If the house value then increases to $200,000, they would be taxed again on the increased value. It is claimed that people will not be able to afford homeownership, will lose their homes, and will be bankrupted by the IRS.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: She's talking about taxing unrealized gains. So at the same time, the Democrats are talking about how important homeownership is, and they wanna give $25,000 first time homebuyer assistant. Unrealized gains would mean on investments would also be your house. So imagine you purchase a house, first time home buyer. You get that $25,000 down payment assistance.
Say you buy the house for a $100,000. Next year, the house is worth a $150,000. But you don't have that money in the bank. So now you're gonna get taxed on that $50,000. And then let's talk about the next year.
Now it's worth 200,000. Now you're gonna get taxed on a 100,000. You already were taxed on 50,000 the year before, so they're gonna tax you again on that 50,000 and, like, the total 100,000. K? People will not be able to afford homeownership.
They will lose their homes. The IRS will bankrupt them.

There is a law requiring tax returns, but many struggle to find it. After extensive research, some individuals, including former IRS agents, concluded there is no clear statute making citizens liable to file or pay income tax. They resigned from the IRS after presenting evidence of legal violations and received no satisfactory responses. A challenge was issued for anyone to prove the law exists, but no one has succeeded. Despite widespread belief in the legality of income tax, many question its legitimacy. A class action lawsuit was initiated against the IRS, highlighting the agency's refusal to clarify the legal basis for income tax enforcement. Some citizens maintain that paying taxes is a civic duty to support government services, while others argue for transparency regarding tax laws.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Expected that, of course, there's a law that you can point to in the law book, the code that requires you to file a tax return. Of course there is. I mean, I don't know what it is right then as we as he was speaking to me, but sure. So naively, I agreed to go off and research it and get back to him. 3 and a half months later, I was at that point where I couldn't find the statute that clearly made a person liable, at least not me and, most people I know, And I had no no choice in my mind except to to resign.
Speaker 1: I had to leave the IRS because I presented, evidence that I had accumulated indicating that the agency was violating the law and violating people's rights. And I asked the agency for a response to my sincere concerns. And the answer I got was that they would not respond to my concerns and that they would, provide me with the paperwork necessary to tender my resignation.
Speaker 2: The We The People Foundation For Constitutional Education put a full page ad in the USA Today on July 7, 2000, and within the body of that ad was a $50,000 challenge for anyone that could show the law. And to me, $50,000 is a lot of money. So I went after that and did the research based on the fact that I thought, let's put this baby to bed. I'm hearing all these rumors, you know, I'm gonna kill 2 birds with 1 stone, I'll answer these people's questions they're asking me, and then I'll win this $50,000. And, you know, based on the research that I did throughout the year 2000, and that I'm still doing, I have not found that law.
I've asked, Congress, we've asked a lot of people in the IRS, IRS commissioners, helpers. They can't answer, because if they answer, the American people are gonna know that this whole thing is a fraud.
Speaker 3: I was surprised to hear these highly trained and decorated IRS agents telling me there was no law requiring American citizens to file a 10.40 or to pay an income tax on their labor.
Speaker 0: I haven't, filed an income federal income tax return since I left.
Speaker 2: I have not filed a tax return since 1999. Approximately 67,000,000 people don't file income tax return.
Speaker 3: I made a decision to go to Washington so I could attend the We The People Foundation press conference. They were going to serve a class action lawsuit on the IRS signed by over 3,000 people because the IRS has refused to show the law that makes Americans liable to file a 10.40 or to pay an income tax on their labor. I was very curious as to why the IRS refused to show the law as it seems such a simple thing to do, Yet I was skeptical about the foundation's claims. There had to be a law. Right?
I mean, we've all been told over and over and over again that we had to pay income taxes.
Speaker 4: Answers. No answers. No answers. No answers. No answers.
No answers.
Speaker 5: Most people believe that the income tax system is legal and that the revenue from the tax is used in the public interest. However, there is a substantial conclusive body of evidence that proves that our income tax system represents the most pernicious form of tyranny. It is the greatest hopes ever perpetrated by government against the working men and women of America.
Speaker 6: American citizens, along with the foundation, have been asking the IRS to specifically provide them with the the underlying legal foundation upon which they administer and enforce the personal income tax laws in our country.
Speaker 0: At the national level, when people would attempt to contact somebody of a much higher authority, say, the cons the commissioner, same kind of thing. They wouldn't get they would get answers that were in effect non answers.
Speaker 4: There are a group of people standing outside today who, assert that no law requires to pay taxes and that you will not answer their petition to the government, as to whether they're required to pay taxes. Are they required to pay taxes?
Speaker 7: I've been paying my taxes ever since I had my first job and I think it's a fundamental construct of our nation that those of us who expect and demand the services from our government that the government provides be they the protection of our country through the military or be they the education of our children or be they the protection of our environment that we must pay for those services. So yes, I think there is a fundamental obligation and that is an understood and well accepted one.

Congress is set to pass a lengthy bill disguised as disaster relief for hurricane victims, but it includes pay raises for members and expanded federal health benefits. The bill is filled with special interests and funding for projects like a new stadium in Washington, D.C. It also renews the Global Engagement Center, linked to censorship efforts. This last-minute push aims to keep these details hidden from the public. It's crucial to have outsiders hold Washington accountable, so reach out to your congressman to express your concerns.

Speaker 0: Congress is about to pass a bill that blows away your taxpayer money, but they made it over 1500 pages long so you wouldn't read it. I did you a favor. I read it for you. It's supposed to be about keeping government operations open and providing disaster relief aid to hurricane victims, which I'm sympathetic to. If you read the bill carefully, it contains pay raises for members of Congress, and I'm not making this up, an expansion of their federal health benefits.
It contains all kinds of special interests and pork funding, including opening up a new stadium in Washington DC. It renews the Global Engagement Center, which is a key node of the censorship industrial complex. And the worst part is, they didn't want you to know about any of it, and that's why they made this a last minute jam job.

After the Federal Government lost its ability to issue its own money, the national debt soared because the government had to pay the Federal Reserve interest on all currency printed. This interest on the national debt could never be repaid, as the Federal Reserve required all debts to be repaid with gold, which the government did not have. The interest portion of the national debt was not issued into the money supply, so more debt would have to be issued to service the growing interest payments on all loans. To cover this interest payment, Congress passed the income tax legislation, which became law in 1913 with the ratification of the sixteenth amendment. Initially, they levied a 1% voluntary tax on all incomes over 3,000 and a progressive surtax on all incomes over 20,000.

Speaker 0: After the Federal Government lost its ability to issue its own money, the national debt soon soared to astronomical heights because now the government had to pay the Federal Reserve interest on all currency printed to circulation. But this interest on the national debt could never be repaid, as the Federal Reserve required all debts to be repaid with gold which the government did not have. And even worse, the interest portion of the national debt was not issued into the money supply. In other words, more and more debt would have to be issued to continue servicing the growing interest payments on all loans. In order to cover this interest payment, Congress was forced to pass the income tax legislation, which became law in 1913 with the ratification of the sixteenth amendment, also known as the income tax amendment.

Video Transcript AI Summary
The US Treasury Department has been flagged for potential waste and abuse of taxpayer funds, with about 23% of entitlements, roughly $50 billion annually, going to recipients without known Social Security numbers or IDs. This equates to about a billion dollars a week in potential fraud.
Adding to the concern, the Treasury Department hasn't been keeping itemized records of their payouts, making it impossible to track where the money is actually going. Fortunately, an agreement has been made where the Treasury Department will start itemizing all payments, detailing where the money is going and to whom. It's unbelievable that the Treasury hasn't had to provide accountability for where taxpayer money is being spent, especially when individual taxpayers are held to a much higher standard.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: So more coming out from Doge. Apparently, this time it's the US Treasury Department who has more waste and abuse of taxpayer funds than so far anything else that they've looked at. 23%. And it appears that there are people receiving entitlements to the tune of 50,000,000,000 with a b dollars a year that have no known Social Security number or ID on file. 50,000,000,000.
That's a billion dollars a week in fraud and abuse. But not only is a billion dollars a week going to unknown sources with no social security numbers and no valid ID. In addition to that, apparently, the treasury department doesn't keep itemized records of their payouts. So there's no way to follow-up and check as to where the money is going. So as of right now, the treasury department and Elon Musk Doge has agreed that going forward, the treasury department will now itemize all of the payments that they make, like where the money is going, to what entities, to whom.
It is shocking to me, and it should be shocking to every taxpayer that our own treasury department has no accountability and keeps no formal records of where they're paying and what they're paying. We could not get away with that at home with our own budgets. And could you imagine if the IRS came into our houses and said, well, I I wanna see itemized list of all these things that you pay and we didn't have it, they would say, well, we're just gonna assume that you did x y z, and we're just gonna slap what we think you owe. But there's no accountability on their end. This is absolute insanity.

Savannah Hernandez reports from New York City's Roosevelt Hotel, examining the migrant crisis. She found a Jackson Hewitt table with an employee distributing flyers to migrants, stating, "working or not, file your taxes, and we can get the maximum refund for your family." The flyer claims a refund of over $7,000 for one child and over $14,000 for up to three children.
The employee initially handing out the flyer took it back upon learning Hernandez was a journalist, stating legal would have to get involved if he was filmed. Another migrant provided a copy. A Jackson Hewitt employee confirmed they are helping migrants with their taxes to get refunds.
Hernandez notes that despite promises of mass deportations, New York City, a sanctuary city, has a thriving migrant crisis. A shelter is closing in June, but another with 2,200 beds for single migrant men just opened in The Bronx. The city has already spent $7 billion on migrants.

Speaker 0: We do this stuff like this, like, at all the shelters and stuff.
Speaker 1: But, like, our company, this is why we try to help people by, you know, providing them with refunds. You know?
Speaker 2: This is Savannah Hernandez in front of the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City. Now we wanted to come check-in on the migrant crisis. And as we were walking around, we saw a Jackson Hewitt table out here with an employee who was handing out this flyer. Now what this flyer says is working or not, file your taxes, and we can get the maximum refund for your family. And the paper says that if you have one child, you can get over $7,000 in a refund.
And if you have up to three children, you can get over 14,000. So the Jackson Hewitt employee who initially handed me this paper, after finding out I was a journalist, took the paper away. That's why this one's so dirty because a migrant ended up giving me another copy. And he stated that if he's put on camera and this goes out, that legal will have to get involved.
Speaker 0: We do this stuff like this, like, at all the shelters and stuff.
Speaker 1: But, like, our company, this is why we try to help people by, you know, providing them with refunds. You know?
Speaker 2: So you guys are trying to help the migrants with their taxes then? Yes. To get help them get refunds, help them get some money back from the government?
Speaker 1: Yes. Okay.
Speaker 2: Well, thank you. No problem. Yeah. We just wanna go try to talk to
Speaker 0: Can't put my footage.
Speaker 2: Can we take one of your papers though just so we can kind of thank you. Actually,
Speaker 0: you should just take this one because this one has my office information. And so therefore, legal would have to get involved. So that's
Speaker 2: why we're here. So just wanted to give you guys an idea of again what migrants have been told in New York City. Now that tax season is coming up, they are being given, official flyers from Jackson Hewitt themselves on how to file their taxes. You know, we have the Trump administration that is currently in office, and they have been promising mass deportations. But in sanctuary cities like New York, where you've had over 200,000 illegal immigrants make their way to this area, the crisis is very much alive and well.
Now this shelter behind me is actually set to close in June, but you have another shelter that was just opened up in The Bronx with 2,200 beds specifically for single migrant men. So the crisis very much alive here in New York City that has already spent $7,000,000,000 on migrants over the last couple of years. Wanted to give you guys an update as of March 2025 where we're currently at

Tax Day is the perfect day to remind everyone that El Salvador President Nayib Bukele EXPOSED The IRS and Income Tax System Are 100% UNNECESSARY “You pay high taxes only to uphold the illusion that you are funding the government, which you are not” Abolish The IRS https://t.co/2W53JMs5Tt
Video Transcript AI Summary
The speaker claims that high taxes are not the core financial problem in the United States. They argue that taxes don't truly fund the government, which is instead financed by treasury bonds purchased by the Federal Reserve. The Fed buys these bonds by printing money, which is backed by the bonds themselves.
Taxes exist, according to the speaker, to maintain the illusion of government funding. The speaker contends that the government is funded by printing money backed by paper, creating a bubble. If the public were to realize this, confidence in the dollar would collapse, potentially leading to the fall of Western civilization. The speaker urges the next president to implement necessary policy and structural changes to avoid this outcome.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: For instance, the financial situation of The United States. When I talk to my conservative friends right here, they always tell me that the problem is high taxes, but they're wrong. Of course, high taxes are extremely high here in The United States. I I give you that. You're right in that.
But that's not the real problem. The real problem is not the high taxes themselves, but the fact that they are not even really funding the government. But even those high taxes, higher than a lot of places in the world, not even those taxes are really funding the government. So who's financing the government? Government is financed by treasury bonds, paper.
And who buys the treasury bonds? Mostly the Fed. And how does the Fed buy them? By printing money. But what backing does the Fed have for that money being printed?
The treasury bonds themselves. So, basically, you finance the government by printing money out of thin air. Someone could ask someone could ask, well, so if the government can print the limited amounts of money out of thin air, why did they collect taxes? I mean, a theory would make sense. Right?
If they can print unlimited amounts of money, why would they need taxes for? The answer is simple, but it's very shocking. The real problem is that you pay high taxes only to uphold the illusion that you are funding the government, which you are not. It's shocking, but it's true. The government is funded by money printing, paper backed with paper, a bubble that will inevitably burst.
The situation is even worse than it seems because if most Americans and the rest of the world were to become aware of these bars, confidence in your currency would be lost. The dollar will fall and the Western civilization with it. If the next president of The United States doesn't make the necessary policies and the structural changes, sooner or later, that bubble will burst. There's still time. You don't have to make the same mistakes we did in the sixties and the seventies.
You can still jump before the water boils.
