"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

The Income Tax

The income tax can be a confusing topic. Made intensionally obscure by our government with understanding obfuscated by a host of well meaning but semi informed citizens, there is more bad information floating around than useful information.

As documented by Larry Becraft, a prominent Constitutional attorney in this area, he notes at TruthAttack that a tax on 'Income' is a tax on gains and profits. If you live and work in the states of the union, your wages and salaries do not constitute 'income' because the Supreme Court interpreted this term of art as meaning just that. Read the facts.

In all debates on this subject, we owe a debt of gratitude to John Kotmair who is now officially and illegally gagged by your government but he taught us that we must first find it in the law before proceding with any argument.

What follows in this section is information and reference to this subject. It is not exhaustive and will often lead to other sources. We hope you can profit from this.

The content of the video and book published by the Fellowship cannot be discussed by employees of the Fellowship including the author John Kotmair due to a court injunction imposed without virtual of any evidenciary hearing. The First Amendment is effectively dead. Read that injuction in it's entirety.
