The Fraudulent Nature of the Federal Income Tax

 

 

IRS Jurisdiction is Limited by Law

 

   According to their own rules, the IRS does not have jurisdiction to collect taxes in any of the 50 states in the Union. Title 26 of the US Code is the Internal Revenue Code. In chapter 21, section 3121 they define a ‘State’ as follows:

 

26 USC Ch 21 §3121 (e)

State: The term “State” includes the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa.

 

United States: The term “United States” when used in a geographical sense includes the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa. An individual who is a citizen of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (but not otherwise a citizen of the United States) shall be considered, for the purposes of this section, as a citizen of the United States.

 

The key word above to focus on is the word, “includes”. The Thorndike Barnhart dictionary defines:

 

include: 1. To put, hold, or enclose within limits. 2. To contain; comprise. 3. To put in a total, a class, or the like. 4. To shut up; confine

 

   The term “includes” is actually an exclusionary word. For example, when I say, “My key ring includes my keys.” I am excluding any of your keys from it.

   When the government says in the above US Code citation, “The term “State” includes…” they are defining what is to be considered as a State and the list of entities following the word “includes” are the only entities that can be used in that definition of State. By taking a word that society has been taught to think means something other than it really means, the lawyers who wrote the Code, while being very clear in strict definition of the words, were using legalese to distract and confuse most Americans who read it.

   When the Congress wants the term ‘State’ to also mean all of the other 50 independent states, the wording will read something like this:

 

“The term “State” includes the several states, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico…”

It appears the IRS can only operate lawfully in the definition of State and United States as listed in Title 26 -the Internal Revenue Code.

 

Social Security Number:  The Nexus to the U.S. Voluntary Income Tax

 

There is no law requiring the use of a Social Security Number to Live or Work in the United States

 

   The only method the IRS has of determining your income is via your Social Security Number. Also known as your taxpayer ID number or, by some, the Mark of the Beast, the SSN is the key the IRS uses to unlock your personal life. However, according to Charles H. Mullen, Associate Commissioner, Office of Public Inquiries at the Social Security Administration in the District of Columbia:

 

"The Social Security Act does not require a person to have an SSN to live and work in the United States, nor does it require an SSN simply for the purpose of having one..."

 

   The Social Security Act, which is found at Title 42 of the U.S. code is very specific in regard to defining income. It defines income as follows:

 

42 USC 405 (4)

(A) the Commissioner's records (with changes, if any, made pursuant to paragraph (5) of this subsection) of the amounts of wages paid to, and self-employment income derived by, an individual during any period in such year shall be conclusive for the purposes of this subchapter;

(B) the absence of an entry in the Commissioner's records as to the wages alleged to have been paid by an employer to an individual during any period in such year shall be presumptive evidence for the purposes of this subchapter that no such alleged wages were paid to such individual in such period

 

   It is clear to see that in paragraph B, above, if the Social Security Commissioner does not show a record of wages you have alleged to have been paid, then you had No income according to their records. If you have no “income,” how can you pay an income tax? The Social Security Number is the government’s key to the products of your labor.

 

How the I.R.S Tricks Us Into Volunteering for the Federal Income Tax

 

   What if the Caribou city council sent their police officers to Fort Fairfield to enforce Caribou ordinances and collect property taxes from Fort Fairfield inhabitants? Do you think our local police and town council would have something to say about that? How about if the City of Bangor sent their police officers to Fort Fairfield to summons people in Fort Fairfield for violating Bangor ordinances? Imagine the commotion if the Canadian government sent their Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) to Fort Fairfield to collect property taxes and vehicle registration fees from Fort Fairfield inhabitants on behalf of Canada. Should we all pay and submit to those police officers?

   Those who hold a strict constructionist view of the Bible would mindlessly spew out the “render unto Caesar” verse (Mat. 22:21) as they rationalized paying those organizations since they are all legitimate, duly elected governments and we must pay whatever they demand of us. Of course, that is ridiculous, because the question of jurisdiction is not addressed in that Bible verse.

   Jurisdiction is what is being discussed here. It would be unlawful for the City of Caribou, City of Bangor, or government of Canada to come to Fort Fairfield, or any other town or city in the U.S. for that matter, and demand those citizens follow their laws and pay taxes to them because they have never been granted jurisdiction to do so. This is plain to see.

   Just as the Bangor city council has specific jurisdiction where it can exercise legislation, the U.S. Congress is limited to where it can exercise its legislative jurisdiction. In the opening to this editorial, I have pointed to Congress’ limited jurisdiction being described in Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17 of the U.S. Constitution, which shows the U.S. Congress has no more authority to enforce their laws inside the town of Fort Fairfield than the city of Caribou, city of Bangor, or government of Canada does.

   Just as Bangor, Maine has a certain, limited geographic area where it can send its police to enforce its local ordinances and collect local taxes, the U.S. Congress is also limited.

   According to the U.S. Constitution, Congress only has authority to enforce its laws in the District of Columbia, military installations, navy dockyards, federal buildings and land that is owned by the Federal government. For example, the Federal income tax can only be enforced and collected within those strictly defined areas, just as Bangor property taxes can only be collected on land within the city of Bangor. Is this too difficult to understand? If so, start back at the beginning and read again, more slowly. The rest of the class will wait for you.

   Now, what if the city of Bangor made arrangements with the local businesses in Fort Fairfield to require all new employees to sign an agreement to follow Bangor ordinances and made similar arrangements with the local banks to extend to their new customers? That would mean in order to have a job and earn money, or open a bank account, one would have to voluntarily sign an agreement to abide by Bangor city council rules. Does that sound ridiculous? Since there’s no enforceable law that would allow them to mandate it, how many of you would sign on to that agreement?

   Well, that’s exactly what the U.S. government has done all across the united States. They have tricked everyone into accepting a Social Security number - which is voluntary - and sign W-4 or W-9 forms before being allowed to work and earn money.

   The Social Security number and associated I.R.S. forms are the reason we have to pay income taxes - because we voluntarily signed on to that arrangement.  The best kept secret in the U.S. is that there is no law requiring the use of a Social Security number to live or work in the U.S.  One must voluntarily apply for and use the number in his business transactions.

   Just as the Social Security program is voluntary, the disclosure of that number to an employer is just as voluntary. Few people know that when you sign a W-4 or W-9 form with the government, you admit to being a “U.S. Person” which is not a citizen of the united States, but more specifically, a person who exists within the Constitutionally limited jurisdiction of the U.S. Congress.

   Just as you wouldn’t sign an agreement to be bound to the city of Bangor in order to have a job in Fort Fairfield, you should not sign an agreement with the U.S. government. However, the accounting departments of all U.S. businesses have been erroneously taught by their local colleges and universities that we must sign those agreements because “it’s the law.” What law? Congress doesn’t have the jurisdiction to mandate the use of those forms outside of those aforementioned Constitutionally described areas.

 

Stop Using Their Money and Banks & Stop

Owing an Income Tax

 

   The Income Tax, in reality, is a usage fee for the private commercial paper called the Federal Reserve Note that was foisted on us by a rogue congress in 1913 and subsequently, 1933 and 1963.  These private debt certificates originate from a private central bank called the Federal Reserve, which is not a branch of the Federal government and has no reserves.  They merely create money out of thin air by printing numbers on paper and loaning it out to the public.  Those who voluntarily choose to use that artificial script in their business transactions are then subjected to a usage fee called the income tax.

   Keeping these credit digits known as “money” in a Federal Reserve-affiliated bank or credit union (all commercial banks and credit unions are) allows the I.R.S. a convenient method of tracking and cataloging the Federal Reserve Note script you exchange daily for your products and services.  Of course, the Social Security number is attached to all you bank files for this purpose (and you thought Social Security was a retirement program!)

   The way to stop owing a usage fee/income tax on the phony Federal Reserve Note script paper the I.R.S. collects from you every year is to simply stop using their ‘money.’

  The only money still authorized by the U.S. Constitution is gold and silver coin.  Federal Reserve Notes have never been amended into the Constitution for use as money in the U.S.

   By trading with gold or silver coin—or any other product of tangible value, for that matter—outside of the banking system, you will not be assessed a usage fee on Federal Reserve Notes because you’re not using them.  That is, you will have no “income” for them to tax because “income” can only exist as a Federal Reserve note entry on the books of the Social Security Administration (and your bank records, whenever the I.R.S. wants to arbitrarily count them).

   Private trades, using tangible property, not commercial debt paper, are the best way to avoid having to pay the usage fee known as the Federal Income Tax and takes your personal wealth and finances completely off the radar of marauding and intrusive I.R.S. collection agents.

   However, most people in the U.S. have been trained quite well to remain slaves on the Federal Reserve system’s plantation and will continue to use their phony debt script and complain about the exorbitant excise fees levied upon them as they work and labor more and more every day to enrich the bankers at the private Federal Reserve bank, rather than themselves.
