"The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty." -- John Adams
|
"There is no position which depends on clearer principles than that every act of a delegated authority, contrary to the tenor of the commission under which it is exercised, is void. No legislative act, therefore, contrary to the Constitution, can be valid.
Alexander Hamilton stated in The Federalist, No. 78,To deny this would be to affirm that the deputy is greater than
his principal; that the servant is above his master; that
the representatives of the people are superior to the people
themselves; that men acting by virtue of powers may do not only what their
powers do not authorize, but what they forbid."

Federal Jurisdiction
|
[editor emphasis added for effect throughout] The following are from the Iowa Administrative Code. It is a principle of law that, once challenged, the person asserting
jurisdiction must prove that jurisdiction exists as a
matter of law. For judicial support of this principle, see in particular the
following cases: McNutt v. G.M., 56 S.Ct. 780; 80 L.Ed 1135 Basso v. U.P.L., 495 F.2d 906 Thompson v. Gaskiel, 62 S.Ct. 673; 873 L.Ed 111 "The income tax is, therefore, not a tax on income as such. It is an excise tax with respect to certain activities and privileges which is measured by reference to the income which they produce. The income is not the subject of the tax: it is the basis for determining the amount of the tax." [House Congressional Record, March 27, 1943, at 2580]

The following excerpts from the IAC, Iowa Administrative Code, clearly show they are aware that federal reserve notes are in fact exempt from taxation by the states. However they won't answer that particular question. They list about everything but federal reserve notes in their non-inclusive list of items. In other words, when I asked about this federal law, instead of answering, they didn't/couldn't/wouldn't answer. And then they audited my tax returns. They're in for a rude awakening. As I have made it a priority to see to it they are held accountable for every illegal action they have initiated against me. The mail fraud complaint forms will be going out soon. And that's just be the beginning. These "servants" are below me. As a Sovereign Citizen from whom they derive only those powers WE (the Sovereigns) delegated to them, have alot of explaining to do. And I will force them to answer, or go to jail.I have always said if you don't exercise your rights, you'll lose them. I do
not intend to lose my rights. Any of them. Anyone who dares try will be met with
extreme resistance and with extreme prejudice. Let this be a warning to all who
think they have the right to trespass on me or my property.

>Consider the following:
The U.S. Constitution, as a contract between individuals, is below the
individual. The individual is senior to the Constitution. The following
U.S. Supreme Court case illustrates individual sovereignty:
"Sovereignty itself is, of course, not subject to law, for it
is the author and source of law; but in our system, while sovereign
powers are delegated to the agencies of government, sovereignty itself remains
with the people, by whom and for whom all government exists and acts. And
the law is the definition and limitation of power. It is indeed, quite
true, that there must always be lodged somewhere, and in some person or body,
the authority of final decision; and in many cases of mere administration the
responsibility is purely political, no appeal except to the ultimate
tribunal of the public judgement, exercised either in the pressure of opinion or
by means of the suffrage. But the fundamental rights of life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness, considered as individual possessions, are secured by those
maxims of constitutional law which are the monuments showing the victorious
progress of the race in securing to men the blessings of civilization under the
reign of just and equal laws, so that, in the famous language of the
Massachusetts Bill of Rights, the government of the commonwealth "may be a
government of laws and not of men." For, the very idea that man may be compelled
to hold his life, or the means of living, or any material right essential to the
enjoyment of life, at the mere will of another, seems to be intolerable in any
country where freedom prevails, as being the essence of slavery itself." Yick
Wo v. Hopkins, 118 U.S. 356, 370 [emphasis added]. Yick
Wo v. Hopkins
Keeping in mind that in Carmine v. Bowen, 64 AT. 932: "’Silence’ is
[a] species of conduct, and constitutes an implied representation of the
existence of facts in question…"

(IAC) 701-40.2(422) "The following list contains widely held United States Government obligations, but is not intended to be all-inclusive." (snip)
And of course how many of us brainwashed automatons are going to read that and say, hey wait just a darn second, "We the People" - ARE THE GOVERNMENT! Or are we - anymore? To wit: 1857 CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF IOWA -- CODIFIED ARTICLE I. BILL OF RIGHTS. Political power. SEC. 2. All political power is inherent in the
people. Government is instituted for the protection, security, and benefit of
the people, and they have the right, at all times, to alter or reform
the same, whenever the public good may require it. [emphasis added]

(IAC)-"This noninclusive listing indicates the position of the department with respect to the income tax status of the listed securities."(snip) (IAC)-"It is based on current federal law and the interpretation thereof by the department". "Federal law or the department’s interpretation is subject to change." (snip) (IAC)"Federal law precludes all states from imposing an income tax on the "interest income" from direct obligations of the United States Government." Ed Note: Here we are strictly talking "interest income" and the "income tax status of the listed securities." Q: Does the statute at § 3124 of Title 31 say it only precludes an income tax on the interest income? Does it say it only precludes interest on securities? NO! Ed Note: It also "precludes" all states from imposing an income tax on the direct obligation itself. - FRN's} They haven't updated their "interpretations" yet. Right? Sure. O.K. Uh Huh! I can hear that excuse ringing in the halls of justice, can't you?(snip) (IAC)-"Also, preemptive federal law may preclude state taxation of
interest income from the securities of federal government-sponsored enterprises
and agencies and from the obligations of U.S. territories. Any profit or gain on
the sale or exchange of these securities is taxable."(snip)

What about the taxation of ordinary, everyday income? The income everybody earns from their daily jobs? If it's not listed then it must be excluded, exempt, etc... Do you get paid in gold or silver? Do you have a choice of what 'specie' of money you get from the bank? If you don't have a choice isn't that "involuntary servitude"? Involuntary Servitude to an unconstitutional Act of Congress to be burdened with a perpetual debt of which there is no provision to EVER pay off! Congress has saddled us and future generations with a debt that was mandated by an unconstitutional Act which will only get BIGGER. In violation of the Article XIII Amendment to the Constitution which
outlaws involuntary servitude. That's exactly what Congress has
done for us recently. Mortgaged all of our futures so they can spend, and spend,
and spend, and spend..... It's a disgrace. What's the penalty for violating
one's sacred oath to support and defend the Constitution? Because most of
Congress has done just that! I digress. I think we could start with
TREASON and work our way UP!
|
Q: "profit or gain" from the securities of "federal government-sponsored enterprises and agencies". Would the Federal Reserve be considered a federally sponsored enterprise? A federally sponsored agency? How about the "Cooperative Federalism" that is each state? Would they be considered federally sponsored? How about the IRS? They must be federally sponsored. Congress keeps giving them money! Our money!! This author suspects yes! After all, the states are being blackmailed into going along with the federal government with the threat(s) of losing funding if they don't comply. Right? I digress again. They go on to mention just about everything imagineable with the
little exception of Federal Reserve Notes. Never mind what the
law actually says. I mean who's ever gonna read this crap anyway?
Yup. O.K. Sure. You betcha!

-FACT: Congress passed the Federal Reserve Act on December 23, 1913 wherein it made Federal Reserve Notes debt obligations to the United States, and authorized the Federal Reserve to be the issuers of these debt obligations. FIAT MONEY -FACT: Congressman Louis T. McFadden addressed the House of Representatives. Representative McFadden had previously served as president of the First National Bank, Canton, Pa.; and later he served as chairman of the Committee on Banking and Currency. [Certainly someone who should know what it is he's talking about.] Following are selected excerpts from his address: "Some people think the Federal Reserve Banks are United States Government Institutions. They are not government institutions. They are private credit monopolies which prey upon the people of the United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign customers". "The Federal Reserve Notes, therefore, in form have some of the qualities of government paper money, but, in substance, are almost purely asset currency possessing a government guaranty against which contingency (obligation) the government has made no provision whatever." -FACT: HJR-192 prohibits payment of debt and substitutes, in its place, a
discharge of an obligation -- -FACT: Further, Forest D. Montgomery, Counsellor to the General Counsel for
the Department of Treasury, wrote a letter to Mr. Smigeilski on this subject,
wherein he stated: "31 U.S. Code, Section 742 (EdNote: Title 31 Former Section
742 -- Title 31 New Section 3124), generally exempts Treasury obligation from
taxation by state or local governments. This provision, as well as the
Constitution, prohibits state taxation of Federal Reserve Notes."
You would certainly think that the "Counselor to the General Counsel for
the Department of Treasury" would know what he is talking about wouldn't
you?

Q:So how does the state get around that little provision in Title 31 § 3124? They just don't bother to mention it. "noninclusive" - right? They ignore it! -HEAD- Sec. 3124. Exemption from taxation -STATUTE- (a) Stocks and obligations of the United States Government are exempt from taxation by a State or political subdivision of a State. The exemption applies to each form of taxation that would require the obligation, the interest on the obligation, or both, to be considered in computing a tax, except - (1) a nondiscriminatory franchise tax or another nonproperty tax instead of a franchise tax, imposed on a corporation; and (2) an estate or inheritance tax.Seems pretty straight forward to me. Nothing obfuscating the language here is there? It clearly says "obligations" of the United States Government are exempt from taxation by a State or political subdivision of a State." Do you see the word "securities" anywhere? How about "interest"? It says, "the interest on the obligation, or both," doesn't it? Most obvious is the fact that even the "Fed" states they are "obligations." They didn't bother nor does the statute bother to go into the details of whether it applies to just interest on securities did they? (IAC)-"The following list contains widely held United States Government obligations, but is not intended to be all-inclusive. This noninclusive listing indicates the position of the department with respect to the income tax status of the listed securities. Ed. Note: It seems they only want to recognize "securities" and "interest" and not the actual substance of what Federal Reserve Notes really are.(OBLIGATIONS - PERIOD) However the list is admitted to being ""noninclusive." (IAC)-"It is based on current federal law and the interpretation thereof by the department. Federal law or the department’s interpretation is subject to change. Federal law precludes all states from imposing an income tax on the "interest income" from direct obligations of the United States Government. Also, preemptive federal law may preclude state taxation of interest income from the securities of federal government-sponsored enterprises and agencies and from the obligations of U.S. territories. Any profit or gain on the sale or exchange of these securities is taxable." Interpretation by the department. That's a good one. Through my personal experience with these people they couldn't interpret a brown paper sack from a zip-loc baggie. And of course they go on to list just about everything they'd like to see
"exempted" with the obvious exception of "Federal Reserve
Notes.Imagine that! Note that they say it is their "interpretation"
by the department. |
18 U.S.C. § 8. Obligation or other security of the United States defined. The term ''obligation or other security of the United States'' includes all bonds, certificates of indebtedness, national bank currency, Federal Reserve notes, Federal Reserve bank notes, coupons, United States notes, Treasury notes, gold certificates, silver certificates, fractional notes, certificates of deposit, bills, checks, or drafts for money, drawn by or upon authorized officers of the United States, stamps and other representatives of value, of whatever denomination, issued under any Act of Congress, and canceled United States stamps. 18 U.S.C. § 8 12 U.S.C. § 411. Issuance to reserve banks; nature of obligation; redemption. Federal reserve notes, to be issued at the discretion of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System for the purpose of making advances to Federal reserve banks through the Federal reserve agents as hereinafter set forth and for no other purpose, are authorized. The said notes shall be obligations of the United States and shall be receivable by all national and member banks and Federal reserve banks and for all taxes, customs, and other public dues. They shall be redeemed in lawful money on demand at the Treasury Department of the United States, in the city of Washington, District of Columbia, or at any Federal Reserve bank. 12 U.S.C. § 411 31 U.S.C. § 3124. Exemption from taxation (a) Stocks and obligations of the United States Government are exempt from taxation by a State or political subdivision of a State. The exemption applies to each form of taxation that would require the obligation, the interest on the obligation, or both, to be considered in computing a tax, except - (1) a nondiscriminatory franchise tax or another nonproperty tax instead of a franchise tax, imposed on a corporation; and (2) an estate or inheritance tax. (emphasis added) Unless you got paid in gold or silver coin, you were paid with some form of Federal Reserve Notes. This is because there are only two forms of legal tender in the U.S. - gold & silver under the Constitution, and Federal Reserve notes under the Federal Reserve Act of Congress (1913). If you were not paid in gold & silver, then you were paid in Federal Reserve notes- obligations of the United States. So how can your State tax those Federal obligations (notes)? The truth is, the Federal Reserve Bank was not only designed to undermine the sovereignty of the federal government by making it directly beholden to the "Banksters" (instead of the people) for "money" (thus UTTERLY DESTROYING THE REPRESENTATIVE NATURE OF THAT GOVERNMENT), it was also designed to undermine the sovereignty of the State governments BY DESTOYING THEIR POWER TO TAX WITHIN THEIR OWN JURISDICTION. BY ALLOWING ALL OF THE LAWFUL "MONEY" (gold and silver coin) TO BE REPLACED
WITH NON-TAXABLE (at least, to the States) FEDERAL OBLIGATIONS (evidence of
federal debt - Federal Reserve Notes (FRN)), THE STATES HAVE COMPLETELY AND
ENTIRELY GIVEN UP AND LOST THEIR POWER TO TAX ANYTHING IN THE STATE EXCEPT REAL
ESTATE AND CORPORATIONS. At least according to the laws documented here. Tax-Freedom.

Query: Is there an "interpretation" of federal statutes? The Supreme Court doesn't seem to think so.
"Going behind the plain language of a statute in search of a possibly contrary congressional intent is "a step to be taken cautiously" even under the best of circumstances." Piper v. Chris-Craft Industries, Inc., 430 US 1, 26, 51 L Ed 2d 124, 97 S Ct 926 (1977). "...courts do not resort to legislative history to cloud a statutory text that is clear" Ratzlaf v. United States, 510 US ____, p. ____, 126 L Ed 2d 615 (1994). "In deciding a question of statutory construction, we begin of course with the language of the statute." Demarest v. Manspeaker, 498 US 184, 112 L Ed 2d 608, 111 S Ct 599, (1991) "When the words of a statute are unambiguous, the first canon of statutory construction--that courts must presume that a legislature says in a statute what it means and means in a statute what it says there--is also the last, and judicial inquiry is complete." Connecticut National Bank v. Germain, 503 US ____, p. ____, 117 L.Ed 2nd 391(1992) "In construing a federal statute, it is presumable that Congress legislates with knowledge of the United States Supreme Court's basic rules of statutory construction." MCNARY v HAITIAN REFUGEE CENTER, 498 US 479, 112 L Ed 2d 1005, 111 S Ct 888, (1991) As in all cases involving statutory construction, "our starting point must be the language employed by Congress," Reiter v Sonotone Corp., 442 US 330, 337, 60 L Ed 2d 931, 99 S Ct 2326 (1979), ...and we assume "that the legislative purpose is expressed by the ordinary meaning of the words used." Richards v United States, 369 US 1, 9, 7 L Ed 2d 492, 82 S Ct 585 (1962) Thus "[a]bsent a clearly expressed legislative intention to the contrary, that language must ordinarily be regarded as conclusive." Consumer Product Safety Comm'n v GTE Sylvania, Inc., 447 US 102, 108, 64 L Ed 2d 766, 100 S Ct 2051 (1980).
(IAC) 701-40.2(422) A federal statute exempts stocks and obligations of the United States Government, as well as the interest on the obligations, from state income taxation (see 31 USCS Section 3124(a)). “Obligations of the United States” are those obligations issued “to secure credit to carry on the necessary functions of government.” Smith v. Davis (1944) 323 U.S. 111, 119, 89 L.Ed. 107, 113, 65 S.Ct. 157, 161. The exemption is aimed at protecting the “borrowing” and “supremacy” clauses of the United States Constitution. Society for Savings v. Bowers (1955) 349 U.S. 143, 144, 99 L.Ed.2d 950, 955, 75 S.Ct. 607, 608; Hibernia v. City and County of San Francisco (1906) 200 U.S. 310, 313, 50 L.Ed. 495, 496, 26 S.Ct. 265, 266. Sounds like these courts are in the banksters pockets don't they? HEY!
Whose legislating from the bench here?

Now, let' see what the Congress says about this funny money. -CITE- 12 USC Sec. 411 -EXPCITE- TITLE 12 - BANKS AND BANKING CHAPTER 3 - FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM SUBCHAPTER XII - FEDERAL RESERVE NOTES -HEAD- Sec. 411. Issuance to reserve banks; nature of obligation; redemption -STATUTE- Federal reserve notes, to be issued at the discretion of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System for the purpose of making advances to Federal reserve banks through the Federal reserve agents as hereinafter set forth and for no other purpose, are authorized. The said notes shall be obligations of the United States and shall be receivable by all national and member banks and Federal reserve banks and for all taxes, customs, and other public dues. They shall be redeemed in lawful money [ever seen "lawful money"?] on demand at the Treasury Department of the United States, in the city of Washington, District of Columbia, or at any Federal Reserve bank.
This would have to mean the United States as in Congress. After all the
People aren't the ones borrowing this funny money, Congress is. Which tells me
that the debt on the obligations is solely in the lap of Congress. Yet, they
want/expect us to believe that it's everybodies duty to pay their "fair share"
in income taxes so they (Congress) can keep wasting money like it's going out of
style. No pun intended. It actually has gone out of style. Anybody remember what
a "greenback" looks like? |
 Ever see one of these?  Silver Certificate - Blue Seal  United States Note - Red Seal  Federal Reserve Note - Green Seal Study the difference between what "OUR" money looked like and what it said on the bill. Then compare the "funny money" we're forced to use now. And, if that's not bad enough, forced to pay "interest" on in order to use it. Makes me sick to see this crap floating around this country. IT'S UNAMERICAN! |
O.K. What is "lawful money"? I have always believed "lawful money" was what the Constitution said. Didn't you? Not what some privately owned bunch of banksters decide. Who the heck is running this country!? The FED is! |
Check Black's Law Dictionary. Income is defined as, "The income return in money from one's business, labor or capital invested; gains, profits, salary, wages, etc.". Please note you must have a return in "money". What is money? Let us check the same dictionary. Money is defined as; "In the usual acceptation it ... does not embrace notes, bonds, evidences of debt, ... ,". Bouvier's Dictionary restricts this even more. It states, money as being, "Gold and Silver coins". Take a look at some of your "money". What does it state on the face of the paper? It says Federal Reserve Note at the top, right? Black's dictionary excludes notes from the definition of money. The paper does not so state, but it is a "circulating evidence of debt". This also excluded in Black's definition. |

Here's something most probably don't know.Both sections 7401 and 7402 fall within subtitle F, which contains all the enforcement mechanisms of the IRC. As such, said sections have never taken effect, because IRC 7851(a)(6)(A) is controlling, to wit: General rule. The provisions of subtitle F shall take effect on the day after the date of enactment of this title. When was that again? |
In the fundamental law, the notion of a "citizen of the United States" simply did not exist before the 14th Amendment; at best, this notion is a fiction within a fiction. In discussing the power of the States to naturalize, the California State Supreme Court put it rather bluntly when it ruled that there was no such thing as a "citizen of the United States": A citizen of any one of the States of the union, is held to be, and called a citizen of the United States, although technically and abstractly there is no such thing. To conceive a citizen of the United States who is not a citizen of some one of the States, is totally foreign to the idea, and inconsistent with the proper construction and common understanding of the expression as used in the Constitution, which must be deduced from its various other provisions. The object then to be attained, by the exercise of the power of naturalization, was to make citizens of the respective States. [Ex Parte Knowles, 5 Cal. 300 (1855)] This decision has never been overturned! Federal citizens are members of a political community who owe their allegiance to a government which is not Republican in Form, at present; it is an absolute legislative democracy. See Downes infra, Harlan dissenting. To force Citizens of a state into this allegiance, as a condition precedent to electing their Representatives in the U.S. Congress, is to force a violation of the Guarantee Clause, at its most basic level. |
Items that the law includes in "income" are described in Code sections listed under the title of "Items Specifically Included in Gross Income", which covers Sections 71 through 86. Nowhere in these sections and nowhere else in the Code is there any mention of wages, salaries, commissions, or tips as being "income". (snip) NO "United States person" mentioned in any of these sections. Individual? Person? or "United States person"? (e.g. a citizen of the United States or a resident of the United States) Check sec.7701(a)(30). Check the breakdown Here Sec. 71. - Alimony and separate maintenance payments There appear to be no parallel authorities in CFR for this section (26 USC 71).

And a statute which either forbids or requires the doing of an act in terms so vague that men of common intelligence must necessarily guess at its meaning and differ as to its application, violates the first essential of due process of law.

Pledge of Allegiance The late Red Skelton related this story of how his favorite childhood teacher, Mr. Laswell, helped his class understand the words to our Pledge of Allegiance. It seems that Mr. Laswell was concerned that saying that pledge had become just one more classroom chore, and he wanted to breathe some life into those words. In the words of Red Skelton: "I've been listening to you boys and girls recite the Pledge of Allegiance all semester," said Mr. Laswell, "and it seems as though it is becoming monotonous to you. May I recite it and try to explain to you the meaning of each word?". "I" -- me, an individual, a committee of one. "Pledge" -- dedicate all of my worldly goods to give without self-pity. "Allegiance" -- my love and my devotion. "To the flag" -- our standard, Old Glory, a symbol of freedom. Wherever she waves, there's respect because your loyalty has given her a dignity that shouts freedom is everybody's job! "Of the United" -- that means that we have all come together. "States of America" -- individual communities that have united into 48 great states. Forty-eight individual communities with pride and dignity and purpose; all divided with imaginary boundaries, yet united to a common purpose, and that's love for country. "And to the republic" -- a state in which sovereign power is invested in representatives chosen by the people to govern. And government is the people and it's from the people to the leaders, not from the leaders to the people. "For which it stands, one nation" -- one nation, meaning "so blessed by God." "Indivisible" -- incapable of being divided. "With liberty" -- which is freedom -- the right of power to live one's own life without threats, fear or some sort of retaliation. "And justice" -- the principle or quality of dealing fairly with others. "For all" -- which means, boys and girls, it's as much your country as it is mine. Since I was a small boy, two states have been added to our country and two words have been added to the Pledge of Allegiance... "UNDER GOD" Wouldn't it be a pity if someone said that is a prayer and that would be eliminated from schools too? God Bless America! |
