"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." John 8:32... and also chiseled into the marble entrance of the CIA Central Intellegience Agency... how's that for irony!
Most of what you believe about your government is a lie, an elaborate illusion to keep you ignorant of the truth. To the extent to which you buy their lies and the propaganda of the major media you are deluding yourself. "None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free." Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
So, citizen, are you going to take the blue pill or the red pill ? As Morpheus said, "all I offer is the truth and nothing more".
In great empires the people who live in the capital, and in the provinces remote from the scene of action, feel, many of them, scarce any inconveniency from the war; but enjoy, at their ease, the amusement of reading in the newspapers the exploits of their own fleets and armies.... They are commonly dissatisfied with the return of peace, which puts an end to their amusement, and to a thousand visionary hopes of conquest and national glory from a longer continuance of the war. Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations
The general rule is that an unconstitutional statute, though having the form and the name of law, is in reality no law, but is wholly void and ineffective for any purpose since unconstitutionality dates from the time of its enactment and not merely from the date of the decision so branding it; an unconstitutional law, in legal contemplation, is as inoperative as if it had never been passed... An unconstitutional law is void. (16 Am. Jur. 2d, Sec. 178)
“Nationalism does nothing but teach you to hate people you never met, and to take pride in accomplishments you had no part in.” Doug Stanhope
There's a fine line between the American dream and the American nightmare. Don Henley
You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality. - Ayn Rand
Most of the trouble in the world is caused by people wanting to be important. ~ T. S. Eliot
Patriotism is when love of your own people comes first; nationalism when hate for people other than your own comes first. Charles De Gaulle
The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable. - H. L. Mencken

I have some videos regarding the true nature of the income tax posted on YouTube and many of the unsolicited comments there would be amusing if they were not so disturbing with regard to ignorance of basic facts.  The problem with so many of our "friends" in the tax truth movement is that while they grasp the glimmer of a truth they rarely study the subject to the point of understanding.  And, they often, just like our esteemed politicians, cannot distinguish evidence from opinion.

The latest post there concerns a subject that John Kotmair and others put to rest many years ago but ignorance once uttered is often repeated ad infinitum.  There are many in the patriot movement who believe the IRS and even the government itself is an incorporated entity.  One proof of this is that there is an IRS, Inc in existance and there that proves it or that sections of the US code are in capital letters.  Anyone can create a corporation with virtually any name.  That someone has created IRS Inc is not surprising.  What is surprising is that people who purport to know the law never submit evidence that the Internal Revenue Service is an incorporated entity.  They say things like "The USA is a CORPORATION! I'm not making this up. It's all there in public records for anyone to see for themselves."  It is this lack of rigor that gave us weapons of mass destruction and a meaningless war in Iraq.

Look folks, if those who make these claims want to submit evidence, I'll be happy to entertain it and publish it on this site.  Just submit some contact information here and we can talk.  There are plenty of really smart people who make utter fools of themselves on this subject.  It is complex because it is designed to be that way.  Obfuscation works best when people are constantly confused.  The 5 minute attention span of most people today coupled with the text like nature of YouTube responses coupled with the dislike of reading long passages of text do not create a very good atmosphere for comprehension and understanding of a topic like the income tax.

We had better get it together though because while we are still de jure a constitutional Republic we are a de facto fascist state.  If there is any time left to restore a semblance of freedom, it is quickly running out.
