Income tax!?!?

Is income tax a fraud? Doesn't the 16th amendment protect us from such a tax? The law that states you must pay income taxes has not been produced for the American public. Many times people have set out to search for this document, but have come up empty handed. The government has tried to pass an income tax law twice, each time getting turned down by the Supreme Court. My question to those who read this article is this...

If there is no such law that requires us to pay income taxes, why are people unlawfully imprisoned for ceasing to do so? How can the government make us do something that is by our constitution, which is the basis of all American beliefs and government, unlawful? Do I have bad information or are we, the American people, being deceived?

    Consensus facit jus: Consent makes law, Marine. Private agreements will always overrule the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Thus, specific agreements governing individual circumstances will always overrule broad general clauses found in the Constitution. Or expressed in other words, it is irrational to allow someone to enter into a private agreement with someone or some private agency, and then allow him to take a clause out of the Constitution -- off point and out of context -- and allow him to take that clause and use it to weasel, twist and squirm his way out of the agreement, all while retaining the financial gain the agreement gave him in the first place. This is irrational, and judges won't allow it. So, no, the federal income tax is not a fraud if one self-asseses himself into Title 26 USC which is non-positive law. Is there rumour-mill, word-of-mouth, societal deception promulgated by the U.S. media and IRS? What does that matter when all U.S. citizens are purported to know the law, including the law of contracts? All U.S. citizens have a duty, obligation and responsibility to know the law -- so says the Supreme Court.

    You probably have heard it said that Federal Judges will tell defendants and counsel in Section 7203 -- Willful Failure To File criminal trials that... "...the Constitution does not apply here." That statement shocks most people up the wall -- but it is an accurate and correct statement. The Judge will never tell you why, though. Should he? Of all of the different Judges my Father knows who have blurted out that statement, NONE of the criminal defendants have ever pressed the Judge for an explanation as to why the Constitution does not apply. The reason why the Constitution does not apply is because the Judge is merely enforcing private agreements the defendant signed with the Secretary of the Treasury. The Judge is not a fifth column commie pinko. The agreement the Judge has in front of him is not the defendant's 1040 or his W-2/4; those are merely declarations of facts and no profit or gain (benefit)is experienced by them. The real reason is as follows:

    When new Federal Judges are hired (nominated by the President and later confirmed by the Senate after hearings by the Senate Judiciary Committee -- after they go through that hiring procedure in Washington -- they are taken back to Washington and are taken into private seminars that are sponsored by the USDOJ. It is in these seminars that new Judges are taught and trained "how to" manage their criminal proceedings so as to avoid reversible error, i.e., absence of counsel and trial procedure, etc. They are taught and trained what the Supreme Court wants for perfecting due process and are given Supreme Court cases to study -- and sitting next to that new Judge in these seminars is their Appeals Court Justice (who will be auditing appeals coming out of their trial court), confirming that the information being taught and presented by Justice Department lawyers is true and correct and that "Things will be done this way."

    They are given a "Bench Book" to take with them, giving the new Judge guidance on handling problems as they arise on the bench. FINALLY, the interesting part comes: They are taught how to manage "Tax Protester" trials -- violations of Title 26. Federal Judges have been instructed that the Supreme Court ruled in 1896 in a case called Davis vs. Elmira Savings, 161 U.S. 275 that banks are instrumentalities of the U.S. Congress. In other words, the interstate system of banks is the private property of the King (the King being the U.S. or U.S. Secretary of the Treasury). This means that any profit or gain anyone experienced by a bank/thrift and loan/employee credit union -- any regulated financial institution carries with it -- as an operation of law -- the identical same full force and effect as if the King himself created the gain. So as an operation of law, anyone who has a depository relationship, or a credit relationship, with a bank, such as a checking, savings, CD's, charge cards, car loans, real estate mortgages, etc., are experiencing profit and gain created by the U.S. -- so says the Supreme Court.

    At the present time, how many of you like Eddie Kahn and Wesley Snipes have bank accounts, investments, mortgages, Socialist Secirity Numbers, etc., making you "beneficiaries" of the United States Government Trust? If so, you are all very much in an EQUITY RELATIONSHIP with the King (the U.S.). In the words of Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter:

    "Equity is brutal, but we are merely enforcing agreements."

    Or in other words, Judges do not like the idea of being thought upon as being mean gestapo agents -- doing the dirty work for the King. They consider themselves as being struck between a rock and a hard spot -- being asked to enforce agreements and without being given any valid reason as to why one should be let out of it -- other than you just don't feel like being incarcerated. So what happens during these Willful Failure to File trials is that:

    1. The Intelligence Division of the IRS surveys the local banks in the vicinity of the tax protester, and obtains copies of the protester's signature card and financial transactions statements from the bank.

    2. At the time the U.S. Attorney requests the Judge to sign the Summons, the Judge has been presented with your bank account information. So now during the prosecution the Federal Judge is sitting up there on the bench with your agreement with the King in front of him while the tax protester argues:

    "Well, Judge, the Fourth Amendment says..." "Judge, the Fifth Amendment says I don't gotta..."

    Are you beginning to see why the Judge is prone to experience frustration and blurt out "the Constitution does not apply here!"? Meanwhile, the Judge is ignoring all Constitutionally related arguments and denying all motions. If you would go back to the bank and ask the manager to show you your "signature card" again, in small print you will see the words:

    "The undersigned hereby agrees to abide by all the Rules of the Bank."

    Have any of you ever asked to see a copy of the Bank Rules? If you have, you will read and find out that you agreed to abide by ALL of the administrative rulings of the Secretary of the Treasury, among many other things. What is really happening in these Willful Failure To File prosecutions is that the Judge is operating on the penal clause to a civil contract. And since nearly all U.S. citizens have agreed to be BOUND by Title 26 USC, what difference does it make whether or not Title 26 was ever enacted by Congress? A contract does not have to be enacted by Congress -- in whole or in part -- in order to make it enforceable.

    As for the actual taxation itself, what happens is that the King creates a "juristic personality" at the time you open your bank account. And it is that juristic personality (its income and assets) that the King's Agents are "excising" back to the King. But in any event, the taxing power of the Congress attaches by CONTRACT or USE of the King's property. Your Congress does not have the jurisdiction to use the police powers to raise revenue. This is the proper way (the ideal Alice in Wonderland way actually) to collect taxes, and that is the procedure by which Federal Judges are enforcing the law -- NOT by ruling over gestapo Star Chambers.

    So, in conclusion on this issue, if the 16th Amendment were somehow repealed tomorrow morning at 9:00am, it would not change a single thing (other than the IRS would have to start giving people a correct presentation of the law to justify their taxes). -- The IRS and the excise tax on juristic persons would continue on as usual.

    As in the present case with Eddie Kahn and Wesley Snipes and Co., they agreed to be bound by Title 26, and under Section 7202 agreed not to disseminate any fraudulent tax advice which is what they did. And the concept that Federal Reserve Notes are not taxable instruments of commerce -- for any reason -- when the person has a written agreement with the United States saying that FRN's are taxable -- this concept is in fact fraudulent.

    All this will only be of value to you to the extent that you are in a teachable state. Eddie Kahn, Snipes and Company were not!

    Conspiracy theories aren't going to help us. There are laws and the fact that people who don't want to pay taxes can't find them isn't going to help you when you get convicted of tax evasion.

    it is unlawful, and your info is correct. Ron Paul has addressed this issue and people say he is a radical for doing so. Bottomline is, it's Un-Constitutional!
