Daniel Smith said: If we who are in the ring won’t fight, who will?
Daniel Smith is the reason I am resubmitting my post to the Genesis Community: We the People Need to Act.
It’s very easy to sit in the cheap-seats and throw money someone’s way and think that you are making a difference; but does your dollar contribution really make you feel safe? The alphabet-boys (IRS, DEA, FDA, etc.) are running rough-shod over American citizens at will without regard to the rule of law, and they are not going to stop just because it is the right thing to do; you got to fight them and beat them to make them stop. However, to commit to that kind of fight, you have to truly understand that what is at stake is essential to your well-being. The civil liberties guaranteed to each and every American citizen under the Constitution of the United States are essential to us, our children, and our children’s children.
If the administrators of this site love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, then I will take my postings elsewhere. Daniel Smith’s fight with the Federal Government is not just about being able to buy or sell MMS; it is a contest between government actors who would bend us to their will, and We the People who would take personal responsibility to compel the rule of law under the Constitution of the United States.
My article "We the People Need to Act" was written in support of Daniel Smith and other brave citizens who stand up to the tyranny of the alphabet boys, AND
It also offered American citizens who are not in the ring, an opportunity to throw a punch without fear of retaliation. Below I repost the meat of the article. Take personal responsibility; go to a law library and verify that what I say really is the rule of law today. Once you verify that the Federal Individual Income Tax is not a tax of distraint, take action; sign the petition:
_________________________
Most Americans don’t know that the Federal Individual Income Tax is not a tax of distraint, but a tax of voluntary compliance. (A “tax of distraint” meaning that you have a duty of law proscribed by statute to pay the tax; a “tax of voluntary compliance” meaning that you have no duty of law to pay the tax.)
It is a fact of constitutional law that Congress cannot impose a tax upon people or property without rule of apportionment; income is property under constitutional law. (See Pollock vs. Farmers’ Loan & Trust Co., 158 U.S. 601 (1895) holding: A tax upon personal property or the income from personal property is a direct tax within the meaning of the Constitution and therefore, must be implemented with rule of apportionment.)
Pollock has never been overturned, nor has Congress passed an amendment that repeals the law upon which Pollock is based.
Moreover, the Federal Congress has entered into the House Congressional Record, March 27, 1943, page 2580:
"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 tax."
However, certain non-elected officers and employees of the Federal Government act in contravention of this fact of constitutional law by using the powers of their office to enforce a scheme of income taxation based upon their presumption of law that Congress has imposed a tax directly upon income from personal property without rule of apportionment.
The actions taken by these Federal Actors under this presumption of law are not only in error of law, but are also in violation of a citizen’s constitutional protections under due process of law and equal protection of law.
If this network brought the above facts of law to the general attention of the American public, and provided a way for American citizens to safely assert their disapproval of the enforcement of the Federal Individual Income Tax as a tax of distraint against American citizens, then such an effort would go a long way towards re-animating the necessary vigilance of the American People.
To that end, I ask you to ask the members to sign the online petition to Congress at the following web-site:
petitions.moveon.org/sign/congress-end-unlawful?source=c.url&r_by=5591666
The petition was created September 26, 2012, but amazingly the petition currently only has 5 signatures. I believe this organization has a network large enough to help the petition to go viral. Challenging the lawfulness of the IRS Determination of Deficiency practices on petition to Congress compels elected Federal Officials to publicly act to enforce the rule of law under the Constitution of the United States, or to publicly fail their duty of law under the Constitution of the United States. Regardless of their choice, if the rule of Federal Taxation Law becomes a public issue on the national stage; the playing field will forever be changed.
Pursuant to the 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States:
“NO STATE SHALL MAKE OR ENFORCE ANY LAW WHICH SHALL ABRIDGE THE PRIVILEGES OR IMMUNITIES OF CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES: NOR SHALL ANY STATE DEPRIVE ANY PERSON OF LIFE, LIBERTY, OR PROPERTY, WITHOUT DUE PROCESS OF LAW, NOR DENY TO ANY PERSON WITHIN ITS JURISDICTION THE EQUAL PROTECTION OF THE LAWS.”
