Dear Friends of INFORM AMERICA!,

I mentioned in my last newsletter that I spoke in Vermont on September
16th at the Second Annual Northeast Constitutional Forum. The title of the
talk I gave (and which I will soon record onto audio cassette) was "LIVE
Free To BE Free!" In the meantime, since I've already received several
requests for it, the following is the transcript of that presentation. As
always, your comments and feedback will be much appreciated. And if you
agree with me, please pass this on.

[BEGIN TRANSCRIPT]

Hello, I'm Gordon Phillips. I'd like to thank you all for the
opportunity to address you here tonight. The title of this talk is "Live
Free To Be Free!". They say that all talks such as this should begin with
something light and humorous to warm up the crowd, but frankly what I have
to share with you isn't particularly funny. In fact, it may cause some of
you to feel somewhat uncomfortable, so please forgive me in advance if I
should prove a bit blunt. Before I actually begin, I should explain what
you are about to hear.

I've discovered that there are generally three types of Americans living
today. I think of them as Types "A", "B" and "C". Type A stands for
"Asleep At The Switch"; Type B stands for "Between Two Worlds", and Type C
stands for "Committed to Liberty". The type A, "Asleep At The Switch"
American, represents the vast majority of our fellow citizens. As author
and economist Merrill Jenkins once wrote, "Those who are unaware are
unaware of being unaware".

Type A Americans have no real understanding of the major social or
political influences going on around them, nor do they understand the
global financial forces operating quietly from behind the scenes to rob
them of their freedoms by steadily eroding our national sovereignty and
moving us ever closer towards a one-world system of totalitarian
government. This is because Type A Americans derive their information
exclusively from a variety of mainstream media sources which, although
giving the appearance of balanced opinion and diversity of viewpoint, are
in reality carefully filtered and massaged by powerful hidden forces of
social engineering, in large part controlled by elements of the
intelligence community.

For example, the Type A American has been mentally conditioned over a
lifetime of government schooling and televiewing to believe that an
objective, balanced perspective on the news can be obtained by reading The
Wall Street Journal vs. The New York Times, or Newsweek vs. Time Magazine,
or by watching multi-millionaire newsreader Peter Jennings vs. Dan Rather.

One of the most closely guarded secrets of the 20th Century is the fact
that many of America's leading newspaper and electronic media outlets,
including The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Public Broadcasting
System, Readers' Digest, Newsweek, Look and Life magazines, were/are
funded in whole or in part by the Central Intelligence Agency in order to
mold, manipulate and ultimately control the public mind set.

Most Type A Americans consider themselves to be well-informed, yet
little do they suspect that they reside in a cartoon-like representation
of the reality beyond their immediate experience due to the carefully
limited and manipulated information to which they're exposed daily by the
newsfaking mainstream media, all the while believing that what they're
being told is the truth. They don't for a minute imagine that they could
be receiving their daily dose of so-called "news" from a giant Wurlitzer
media organ played superbly by virtuosos at the CIA, and would deride
anyone who even suggested it - which is, of course, the very idea.

Let's take a look at some of these virtuosos and concertmasters. Ronald
Reagan nominated William Casey to be his Director of the CIA. Who was this
man? Among Mr. Casey's many accomplishments were that he founded the
Manhattan Institute, ran the Reagan campaign, and manipulated the stock
market as chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission. While serving
as CIA director, Casey was also the lead counsel and top stockholder in
Capital Cities, the communications company that owned ABC until it was
bought by Disney in 1996.

Mr. Casey also served as the chair of Operation Rescue, a CIA front
which helped thousands of former Nazi war criminals escape prosecution at
Nuremberg after World War II and instead emigrate quietly to the U.S.
under new identities. Mr. Casey's partner in this operation was Allen
Dulles, a well-known Nazi ally and board member of I.G. Farben, the
corporation that manufactured the Zyklon-B gas used in Nazi fumigation and
delousing chambers.

Under Allen Dulles' direct instructions, American and allied bomber
pilots were ordered never to bomb I.G. Farben's factories, and they
never did. The man who ran Allan Dulles' clandestine CIA operation to
bring thousands of top Nazi war criminals to America was Frank Wisner, of
whom Village Voice reporter Deborah Davis writes in her 1991 blockbuster,
"Katherine The Great", quote: "By the early 1950's, Frank Wisner 'owned'
respected members of the New York Times, Newsweek, CBS and other
communications vehicles, plus at least four to six hundred reporters,
according to a former CIA analyst", unquote.

Deborah Davis also wrote that Washington Post publisher, Katherine
Graham, the subject of "Katherine The Great", is said to have stated in a
1988 speech given at CIA headquarters, quote: "We live in a dirty and
dangerous world. There are some things the general public does not need to
know and shouldn't. I believe democracy flourishes when the government can
take legitimate steps to keep its secrets, and when the press can decide
whether to print what it knows", unquote.

According to an article by investigative reporter Carl Bernstein titled
The CIA and the Media, which appeared in the October 20, 1977 issue of
Rolling Stone magazine, prominent U.S. media owners and journalists who
have knowingly worked for the CIA under "Operation Mockingbird" and
directly overseen by Mr. Casey's old time friend, Allen Dulles, included
William Paley of CBS, Arthur Sulzberger of the New York Times), Henry Luce
of Time/Life, William Buckley of The National Review, Ben Bradlee of The
Washington Post, and hundreds of others.

CBS and NBC are today owned by Westinghouse and General Electric, the
nation's two top suppliers of military hardware, satellites, nuclear
reactors and spy equipment. One might be excused for imagining an
intelligence community connection there as well. Millionaire media
magnate, Ted Turner of CNN, is known to be good friends with Mikhail
Gorbachev while Tom Brokaw has been photographed chumming around with
David Rockefeller, acknowledged kingpin of the New World Order.

Is this picture becoming clear to you now? Unfortunately, it still
remains rather muddy to the tens of millions of Type A Americans who
continue to believe that the so-called "watchdog media", although
rumored to be biased towards the liberal left, would never outright lie to
them. Never would they dream that certain facts are consistently and
programmatically withheld from them or outright distorted by mixing a
degree of misinformation in with the truth, a mechanism the CIA refers to
as "spinning".

Type A's also tend to believe that America is still free since the
illusion of "freedom of choice" has largely been preserved in our
popular culture. For example, Type A's believe they have the "freedom of
choice" to file a tax return, regardless of whether or not the filing is
actually required by law. If they file and pay, they'll be left alone. If
they fail to file, they may go to jail. But since they still have the
illusion of a choice about filing, freedom still rings in their minds.

Type A's also believe they have the "freedom of choice" whether to
register their home-schooled children with the Superintendent of Schools
or submit to having them forcibly educated in a government school. If they
don't register their children, Social Services may come into their home,
kidnap their children and place them in foster care under state
supervision. But since they still have the illusion of a choice about
home-school registration, freedom still rings in their minds.

Type A's in certain cities and states still believe they have the
"freedom of choice" to register their handguns with the state or to
carry them unregistered and, if caught, to serve a mandatory one-year jail
sentence in a county or state prison, placed into a population of violent
criminals. But since they still maintain the illusion of choice about gun
registration, freedom still rings in their minds. I could give numerous
other examples, but I'm sure you get the point.

These "freedoms of choice" seem to cause no mental conflict or cognitive
dissonance for Type A Americans. After, all America is, in their minds,
still a free country and still the greatest place to live on Earth. God
forbid we should be forced to live in a communist country like Russia or
China where tax filing is mandatory, where children are forced to be
state-educated and where mandatory gun registration is a way of life. No
contradictions there!

Type A Americans also tend to think that the two main branches of the same
socialist political tree - the Republican vs. the Democratic party - offer
voters any real choice. Essentially, the type A American passes through
this world never having understood what really happened.

Then we have Type B, who remains stuck "Between Two Worlds" - between two
mental constructs of reality. This type of American has begun to awaken to
truths that are never reported in the managed media. As a result of having
changed and varied his sources of information, Type B knows full well what
really did happen at Jekyll Island, Bretton Woods, Pearl Harbor, Inchon,
Dealey Plaza, Ruby Ridge, Waco and Oklahoma City.

Type B also has a basic understanding of paper money and the income tax -
and of the incestuous relationship between these evil twins. He sees
America's steady transformation into a police state and may have already
started to prepare his family for what's coming to our shores in the next
25 years. Yet in spite of these new awakenings and understandings, the
Type B American still has a tendency to equivocate with freedom and to
compromise with liberty by rationalizing away his ongoing practice of
certain habitually socialist behaviors.

The truth is that, in spite of "talking tough" about "taking America
back" and making visible displays of loyalty to so-called
"conservative", "libertarian" and "populist" organizations, the Type B
American remains in his heart largely fearful of government, a condition
the Founders and Framers of our republic would have found shameful if not
outright cowardly. A clear example of this well-conditioned fear is Type
B's desire to avoid detection by or, worse yet, actual confrontation with
the IRS and other despotic agencies, in spite of the fact that the
personnel of such agencies are their public servants, not their would-be
masters.

Type B remains confused by this relationship, or else prefers just to
ignore it. The Type B American continues to finance the destruction of the
republic he claims to cherish by making annual donations of income and
employment taxes with his own hard-earned money, even though he knows that
such donations are not required by law of citizens who have no foreign
sources of taxable income. Seen in this light, these payments are really
no different than "protection money" paid to organized crime. Yet he
continues to fund his own enslavement in order to maintain the illusion of
keeping his little world safe and secure, never stopping to realize that
there is no security in this world-that there can only be Justice under
the Rule of Law, a prerequisite for true Liberty.

If the truth be told, by continuing to live with one foot in the world of
plastic credit, bank accounts and other conveniences of fiat, cyber-money;
by continuing to use a non-required social security or employer
identification number; by continuing to file Forms W-4, 1040 and other
non-required returns; by continuing to worship at IRS-approved,
preacher-controlled 501(c)(3) churches, and; through a variety of other
non freedom-promoting behaviors, the Type B American wears his newfound
status as a "born again constitutionalist" largely on his sleeve. In fact,
if real Liberty can be compared to quaffing a tall yard of stout, bock
beer, the Type B American prefers to sip from a can of Liberty Lite -
one-third less thrilling!

Then there is the Type C, "Committed To Liberty". This type of real
American - and thank God there are more of you every day - prefers to
actually live under a condition of personal liberty and will go to
practically any lawful means to achieve it in his daily life. This type
does not apply for a "license" or "permit" from government at any level in
order to exercise a natural right, because he does not confuse rights with
privileges - understanding that rights come from God and cannot be taxed
or regulated; that privileges can only be obtained by applying for the
benefits associated with the exercise of the privilege; that legislatures
of men can meet to alter or even vote away privileges, and; that rights
are unalienable.

In short, the Type C American, the real American, knows that, in order to
actually BE free, one has no choice but to LIVE free - in other words, to
put freedom into actual practice in his everyday life and to teach his
children to do likewise. Now, having said all this, I should warn any Type
A American listening to this will likely not relate to or understand what
you are about to hear. In fact, assuming that you are willing to listen at
all, it will almost certainly either confuse or deeply offend you, or
both. If this is true of you, please know that it is not my intention to
offend you, but merely to challenge your present reality and to move you
on the path to personal liberty.

As for you Type C Americans, you really don't need to hear this tape,
unless if to reinforce what you already understand. To you I say, thank
you for helping to defend my rights and freedoms as I am willing to defend
yours. For, if the truth be known, it is the Type B American for whom I
actually wrote this presentation - the American who is already on the road
to real personal liberty, even if still playing mental games with its
actual requirements and living with one foot in Liberty and the other in a
world of cradle-to-grave, state-sponsored benefits.

It is you, Dear Type B, who we most ardently need to come all the way over
to the truth, to the great philosophical and political principles upon
which America was founded. I sincerely hope this presentation helps you to
shed your remaining mental chains and take the final steps forward into
the clear light of personal Liberty. When America separated from the 18th
Century British flavor of government-sponsored tyranny, it is estimated
that less than 5% of the colonists then living were in favor of
separation. The remainder were either vigorously opposed or simply
indifferent as to the outcome. To them, a little tyranny was tolerable so
long as their lives were not disturbed in the messy process of asserting
their independence. Today, if just 5% of all American adults now living
had the courage and conviction to convert to Type C, America would be
headed on a rapid course back under the Constitution and the Rule of Law
literally overnight.

The truth shall indeed make you free, but first you have to face it. So
I'd like to begin by asking you a simple question. We've all heard the
expression "a can of worms", but have you ever actually looked into one?
You can't tell one end of the same worm from the other, let alone one
entire worm from another. That's the way our government looks today. Walk
down the halls of government and you're looking into an inbred, tangled
mass of corruption, cronyism and special interests. Not to mention enough
liberal weirdos to make the bar scene in Star Wars look normal.

Here's just some of the mixture: You've got international lobbyists
including the Chinese bidding for our latest technology, then using it to
aim nuclear missiles back at us. You can bet your bottom Federal Reserve
Note that the next major world war will involve the Chinese invading, or
attempting to invade, America - and we have Bill Clinton, Israel, and
others to thank for that.

You've got a plague of career politicians who enter public office, and
some only as the result of manipulated vote fraud, to aggrandize
themselves and line their pockets at the expense of the host they've
attached themselves to. In case you had any doubt, that's you. With the
exception of Congressman Ron Paul and a handful of others, we no longer
have statesmen who enter public office to serve, we have unproductive
parasites who enter public office to gorge themselves at the public trough
and lord it over others in their spare time.

You've got a sordid assortment of intelligence agency operatives and
their corporate fronts and foundations funded, not through duly
legislated appropriations, but through international trafficking in arms
and drugs. Our own CIA is very good at that. Just ask George Bush, either
father or son.

You've got shills of organized crime, hired to "Arkancide" or otherwise
dispatch to eternity anyone who dares to "blow the whistle" or gets in the
way of progress. Just ask Rodney Stich, author of Defrauding America.
This, then, is just a partial cast of characters-our would-be ruling
elite, all laboring together in their personal, for-profit playground at
Disney-On-The-Potomac to subvert our glorious Republic into the feudal
colony of a fascist, global super-state. Jefferson said that a revolution
was needed every twenty years to keep government chained down as our
servant and not our would-be master. I think we're about twenty
revolutions overdue.

How many of you could answer this simple question? Under the
Constitution, what are the two sole areas of federal jurisdiction within
the States of the Union? The answer is: interstate commerce and postal
roads. Period. No public education. No entitlement programs. No standing
armies. No laws pertaining to morality or victimless crimes. None of that.
Just postal roads and interstate commerce.

Yet today, at the beginning of the 21st Century, we have allowed a
power-mad mega-government bent on social engineering, one-world
indoctrination and Marxist plunder, and funded by unlimited credit
expansion backed by nothing, to spill over its constitutional bounds and
flood the countryside with a despotic, bureaucratic presence. Indeed,
America is rapidly being transformed into a Police State, one the German
people of the 1930's would instantly recognize. Does anyone seriously
think, at this late stage in our nation's slide down the slippery slope,
that voting for the lesser of two evils, Tweedle Dumb vs. Tweedle Dumber,
candidates hand-picked by the ruling elite to create the illusion of a
choice, will rescue us from this fate?

So what do we do, Fellow Americans, stand aside and wring our hands?
Write more letters and present more signed petitions to our public
servants, pleading for recognition of our rights, while America
continues to deteriorate into the federal gulag dreamed of by elitist
promoters of a One World Order? Or perhaps we should grab our muskets off
the mantelpiece, fumble to remove the federally mandated trigger locks,
slap in our federally mandated limited-capacity magazines and head down to
the village green to face the same armored tanks and battleship
helicopters that Janet Reno sent in to save the babies at Waco?

The Constitution does forbid a standing army, but, by the way, did you
know that the entire Air Force is totally unconstitutional, since there
never was an amendment to provide for it? Yet we have allowed a
Paternalistic Imperial Government (you can figure out the acronym for
that) the natural evolution of the very centralized federalism that
Jefferson warned against, to occupy our soil and acquire such military
superiority over We The People in arms and firepower that another civil
war - which is what the American Revolution really was - would decimate
our nation in a bloodbath that would make the War Of Northern Aggression
(the "Civil War" to you government school graduates) look like a Sunday
picnic.

Truly, if we're to stop this tyranny train before it's too late, the
time for another revolution has indeed come, although this time it won't
be won by hunting rifles, shotguns and small arms fire, not against an
army equipped with low-frequency sonic cannons that can disintegrate your
insides from a quarter-mile away, laser vision blinders, directed-energy
microwave brain scramblers and other hi-tech toys against which there is
no known defense.

So then, what do we do? How do we shrink this juggernaut and shove it back
into its constitutional cage? In a complex world that would seem to call
for sophisticated solutions, the real answer is so simple that it seems to
escape almost everyone except home-schooled teenagers, because they still
possess common sense and their minds aren't yet clouded by adult
equivocation.

The answer is: if you want to treat government like the metastasizing
tumor it has become, and cause it to shrink and go into constitutional
remission, just stop feeding it. It's that simple. Stop funding it. Stop
enabling its very existence with your annual contributions. After all, the
government can simply print all the money it needs to pay its bills, so
why does the IRS bother to tax you or anyone else? Did you ever stop to
think about that? Must have something to do with inflation.

In short, if you want to make government go away, borrow a page from
Barbara Bush (or was it Nancy Reagan?) and "Just Say No". Just stop
paying it lip service. Simply ignore any department of government that is
unconstitutional, treat it as the fiction that it actually is, and stop
funding your own destruction with the fruits of your own labor! In short,
just start living free as the Framers of the Constitution intended!

There, now, was that all that difficult to understand? It really is that
simple, although some of you will resist believing that. Now, no doubt
most of you are here tonight because you do believe in Liberty. Some of
you are fighting the Marxist property tax. Others are fighting the Marxist
income tax. Still others are fighting Marxist-inspired global gun
confiscation. It seems as though old Karl has been pretty busy lately.

Each of us knows that the Constitution is being steadily undermined
day-by-day. Jefferson warned that the judiciary would be the first to
corrupt the republic, like "sappers and miners" he called them, stealthily
undermining the supreme Law. If you stop to think about it, if the courts
were upholding the Law as actually written, we wouldn't even be here
tonight. I have no doubt that all of us want to do something constructive
and timely about this mess, to join together in an organized, effective
manner and accomplish something tangible, something that will make a real
difference for the future our children will be forced to live in.

By the way, for a truly frightening view of that future, rent the video
"THX 1138", the first feature film by George Lucas of "Star Wars" fame. It
depicts a bleak and sterile future world in which the only value of a
drugged-down, apathetic citizenry in a conformist "ant colony" society is
their current debit/credit relationship to the Central Computer. Sound
familiar? The question is not whether we're heading in that direction, but
just how quickly.

So what will our bold, courageous plan be? Maybe we should march on
Washington. Sure, that sounds good! We'll petition government on the
evening news to please restore our liberties! We'll rally on the State
House lawn and beg "Please, won't you let us keep our guns?"; "Please,
won't you stop giving our money away as foreign aid to our enemies?";
"Please, won't you obey the Law?". Or maybe we should run full page ads in
national newspapers admonishing Congress to repeal the 16th Amendment, to
abolish the IRS, and to replace the income tax with a National Sales Tax -
the allegation being that we'll all finally be free. Just think, no more
16th Amendment! No more IRS! No more income tax! Free at last, Good God
Almighty, free at last!!!

Let's look at these proposals, shall we? As both the high court and the
Congressional Research Service agree, the 16th Amendment never did
authorize a tax on the domestic source income of citizens living and
working within the 50 States of the Union, so repealing it wouldn't free
anybody. The Internal Revenue Code does not now, nor has it ever, taxed
the domestic source income of citizens living and working within the union
states, it taxes the income of foreigners doing business here in this
country, and no Amendment to the Constitution was necessary to accomplish
that. Whoops.

But let's still abolish the universally despised IRS! Without an IRS, we'd
all be free, right? Sure sounds good, doesn't it? You can get a whole lot
of people riled up over fantasies like this. But here, again, are the
facts. Article 1, Section 8, Clause 1 authorizes Congress to lay and
collect excise taxes from the proper subjects of such taxes, all of which
is called internal revenue. There's nothing inherently wrong or evil about
the existence of the IRS as an agency in order to fulfill this lawful
function, unless we expect our legislators to personally go to ports of
entry with tin cups and collect the imposts and duties themselves.

Although "I was only following orders" didn't work at Nuremberg, it's
ignorant fellow citizens working within the IRS who are pushing buttons,
following orders from higher-ups, ignoring the law and plundering their
neighbors without so much as a trace of due process. Were we to abolish
the IRS, its employees would simply cross the street and resume working at
the National Sales Tax Collection Agency, with their benefits and
retirement packages intact.

Besides which, a tax laid indiscriminately and across the board upon the
sale of all items within the country would be totally unconstitutional.
Read the Federalist Papers which called for excises to be laid on certain
commodities only, such as luxuries, with the intent being that, were the
tax to be raised too high, the public would stop consuming the item so
taxed, which would shrink revenues and force government to remain small
and limited. An across-the-board sales tax would destroy us, since it
would amount to a de facto direct tax on property.

Not to mention the fact that a National Sales Tax would move us a giant
leap towards the cashless, all-electronic society the bankers and their
handlers in the ancient monarchies of Europe lay awake nights dreaming
about. If these propositions were just sophomoric, we could forgive their
promoters for being nothing more than naïve. The fact is that they're
downright dangerous. And to add incredulity to disbelief, they're
currently being promoted by an organization that has been granted, of all
things, 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status from the IRS, presumably so that its
voluntarily complying supporters can write their deductions off their tax
returns! Perhaps it might dim the credibility of these promoters somewhat
were more folks to discover that, under the written law, the application
of both code section 501(c)(3) and the use of the 1040 form apply solely
and exclusively to foreign sources of taxable income and have no bearing
whatsoever on citizens living and working within the 50 States. Whoops!

But let's not allow mere technicalities to stand in the way of tax
freedom! The bankers must be rolling in the aisles with laughter. And they
must surely appreciate the fact that they didn't even have to print more
money to pay for advertising this Trojan Horse! They've been pushing hard
for any excuse to introduce a National Sales Tax, a tax the American
Sheeple will accept and go back to sleep over. And now the Patriots are
doing the dirty work for them! Could it get any better than this?

You see, the framers of the Constitution were wise men, indeed. To keep
government small, they provided that it's day-to-day operations would be
funded by excise taxes in the form of excises-imposts and import duties -
to be collected from foreigners who would pay their "fair share" for the
privilege of selling into our vast marketplace. This would not only
protect American jobs and industry, it would leave every citizen free of
all internal taxation. And when you read the Internal Revenue Code, you
discover that you actually are free! Which is why we need to repeal the
16th, abolish the IRS and impose a new sales tax that will begin taxing us
all internally for the first time, right?

OK, I guess I've made my point. So, back to corrupt government. Is
letter-writing to patricians like Ted Kennedy productive,
liberty-promoting behavior? Is rallying for the restoration of gun
rights, pleading to gun grabbers like Charles Schumer productive,
liberty-promoting behavior? How about presenting signed petitions to
practicing socialists like Bill Archer and Dick Armey, begging them to
scrap the income tax and give us a sales tax instead? Would this be
productive, liberty-promoting behavior, the type of behavior becoming of a
Patriot? I contend that it's not only unbecoming, it's disgusting. All
such rallies, entreaties and petitions are a fool's errand and, worse,
play right into the hands of the demagogues infesting the seat of
government. They can't wait to hear what we have to say so they can twist
our words and portray us as radicals and dangerous kooks on the Cartoon
News Network to keep the sleeping Sheeple in line.

And, assuming that we could agree on a unified strategy to reverse the
steady evaporation of our republic and set American on a course back under
the Law, who will lead us in carrying out this brave course of action?
Some new charismatic guru or personable pied piper? The latest purveyor of
shiny silver bullets? Or perhaps a great and visionary leader will emerge
from within the ranks of the leading so-called "populist" and
"libertarian" organizations, all of which purport to proclaim the ideals
of freedom, although few ever actually mention the word "Liberty".

There is a world of difference between freedom and liberty, did you know
that? Original definitions of freedom meant anarchy. Total freedom.
Freedom to do anything! No law, no rules, just freedom. My spear against
your spear. My gun against your gun. A dog tethered to a wire strung
between two trees is free to run back and forth, but it's not at liberty.
A condition of true liberty requires real responsibility, something most
Americans have been carefully conditioned to completely lack. After all,
God gives each and every one of us everything we need in order to be
responsible for ourselves and our families, yet most people today are
living your lives in the expectation of their nanny government taking care
of them in their later years.

It's pretty hard to be a crusader for liberty when both feet are planted
in the system that you look forward to feeding you. Of course, that was
the idea Franklin Roosevelt had to begin with. That's how government gets
you to "buy into" it - by bribing you with the lure of future benefits,
all in the name of promising security and protection. After all, didn't
FDR promise a "chicken in every pot"? Stop and ask yourself this. Can
there ever be any such thing as security in this world? Of course not.
Security and liberty can never mix, like oil and water. But there is
supposed to be justice, isn't there?

The directors and other luminaries of some of the most prominent,
self-styled "conservative" organizations meet on a regular basis to
"talk tough" about the erosion of freedom and the decline of what they
call "civil rights". What about unalienable rights? Are the two the same?
They toast each other at sumptuous banquets and academic symposiums. All
of this verbiage is indeed useful to awaken the truly naive and still
sleepwalking among us. After all, even Republican party shill, Rush
Limbaugh, has his role to play. But do these allegedly "constitutionalist"
leaders actually observe the practices of free men and women themselves?
Do they hold to the same philosophies and mental constructs that men like
James Madison and Thomas Jefferson understood and practiced in their
personal lives?

Almost to a man, the answer is a resounding "No". In fact, if the truth be
told, virtually all of these leading conservatives" - and one must ask
what it is they claim to be conserving - whether wittingly or unwittingly,
actually further the aims and ideals of socialism while claiming to
support and defend a Constitution which stands as its very antithesis.
Now, am I being a little too harsh here? I don't think so.

Here's the blunt truth. If you search for any statute or regulation that
requires a citizen to obtain and use a Social Security Number, you will
not find it. It simply does not exist. The Social Security Administration
itself readily admits that no American is required to have a Social
Security Number in order to live and work in the United States. Just write
and ask them. Because Americans everywhere are repeatedly asked for their
number when they attempt to open a bank account, buy or sell property,
invest or even rent a video today, they assume there must be a legal
requirement to have one.

But look up section 405 of Title 42 and you'll discover that Social
Security Numbers are never assigned automatically to citizens, only to
foreigners - to non-resident aliens to be precise - upon their lawful
admission into the United States. Citizens who want a number must apply
for one. However, there can be no legal requirement to apply, since
submitting any application for anything is always by definition a
voluntary act.

Most people believe that babies automatically receive a Social Security
Number while still in the hospital. But look closer and you'll discover
that parents unwittingly sign release paperwork authorizing hospital
administrators to apply for a number for their newborn. If the parents
legally refuse to sign - and they easily can; I did for my son - no
application process is initiated and no number is assigned. Now,
considering these facts in light of what the Bible has to say on the
subject of being serially numbered, why does anyone use a government
number or get one for their children? And, by the way, did you know that
legions of Americans have already quit Social Security - quietly and 100%
legally - and started saving for their own retirement, not yours and
everyone else's? What will happen to your retirement check if this
groundswell continues?

When you correspond with the leaders of some the most staunchly
"conservative" organizations - all of whom use Social Security Numbers
themselves to build credits towards wealth redistribution and live their
lives in the expectation of one day going on the Social Security welfare
dole - and attempt to explain any of this to them as I have, they either
don't write back or they accuse you of potentially getting their members
"into trouble". These respected leading "conservatives" also personally
consent to the voluntary withholding of Social Security employment taxes
from their own paychecks as well as from those of their employees. In
fact, they flatly refuse to hire any American who doesn't provide a Social
Security Number or refuses to sign a W-4, which the law calls a "voluntary
withholding agreement". "Your papers, please!". In short, they're
full-blown, card-carrying, registered Socialists. Unfortunately, Patrick
Henry did not say "Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Benefits!"

A couple of years ago I picked up the phone and called the John Birch
Society in Appleton, Wisconsin, and asked them if I could work there
without taxes being taken out. They hung up on me. Whoops. I also wrote to
Jacob Hornberger, President of the Future of Freedom Foundation, and asked
him why he kept making so many misstatements about the tax laws in his
literature, calling the income tax "unconstitutional" and so forth (it's
not, by the way), and he wouldn't write back. Whoops! Donald McIlvaney,
publisher of the McIlvaney Intelligence Advisor, goes out of his way in a
standard footnote to each newsletter to assert that he wants nothing to do
with the tax movement. Hey, come on, Don, what's the matter? Don't you
want the IRS at your door?

And what about the rest of you leading "conservatives"? Are you ALL that
scared of your own government? Here's what I wish our leading
conservatives would come out from under the bed and wake up to: 1) There
can be no condition of true Liberty without rights to private property
being protected; 2) The Constitution protects private property from being
taken for public use without just compensation and prohibits the direct
taxation of citizens, and; 3) No amendment has ever changed this. Look in
Title 26 of the United States Code - which is the Internal Revenue Code -
in subtitle A, chapters 1 through 6, under "income tax". You won't find a
single statute authorizing the withholding of income tax from citizens
living and working within the 50 States of the Union. It simply does not
exist. The only liability statute you'll find for "income" tax is section
1461 which applies solely to the withholding of tax from foreigners, not
from citizens.

Now, again, is this all that tough to grasp? Is a degree in rocket
science necessary, or should you just ask any bright home-schooled
teenager to explain it to you? Yet approximately one-hundred million
working adult Americans - including our leading "conservatives" - pay tens
of billions of dollars annually in income taxes, or have them withheld
from their paychecks, with absolutely no legal requirement anyone can
locate. Seen in this light, these tax payments - or, more accurately,
tribute - are really just voluntary donations to the government, and very
generous ones at that. To be fair, the IRS has always referred to this
phenomenon as "voluntary compliance" and they're absolutely correct.

By consenting to function as uncompensated bookkeepers for government,
many of our nation's most esteemed constitutionalists conveniently ignore
the fact that the 13th Amendment forbids involuntary servitude, yet they
apparently see no contradiction. They even volunteer to chip in 50%
matching co-FICA, right out of their own pockets. This voluntary
participation in socialist wealth redistribution must make Karl Marx smile
from wherever he currently is. I hear it's pretty warm there. And I think
it's getting a little warm in the conservative, 501 (c)(3) corporate
boardrooms, too, because a lot of their stockholders are waking up and
turning up the heat!

And it gets worse! These pillars of the conservative community routinely
testify against themselves year after year by signing tax returns in
knowing waiver of their constitutionally secured rights to be secure in
their papers under the 4th Amendment and to not be forced to testify
against themselves under the 5th. By doing so, they demonstrate egregious
disrespect to the Framers and show their deep devotion to the
Constitution.

As for the requirement to file a tax return, if you do the research,
you'll discover that it applies only to citizens with qualified foreign
sources of income. Once a citizen does file, however, regardless of
whether or not he actually owed the tax by law in the first place, he will
be presumed by the IRS to have a requirement to continue filing. Without
realizing it, by his own voluntary act he has transformed himself into a
"taxpayer", and that's exactly how the IRS then treats him.

It may surprise our shining "conservatives" to learn that many Americans
who never volunteered to apply for a Social Security Number or to file a
tax return, never hear from the IRS their entire lives. I know several
such citizens personally. Did you know that a former Commissioner of
Internal Revenue admitted in a public speech in 1993 that 1 in 5 Americans
had stopped filing tax returns? That's an epidemic of at least 20 million
nonfilers by the IRS' own admission. That was seven years ago and a whole
lot more Americans have stopped filing since.

You'd think that these facts would be of such immediate and compelling
interest to our nation's staunchest conservative organizations that they
would stop the presses and put out special editions of their newsletters,
to share the good news with their millions of members, wouldn't you? The
fact is that, for all their rhetoric, the vast majority of self-styled
"conservative", "populist" and "constitutionalist" organizations are
really just glorified debating societies, full of hand-wringers and
theorists. One would not expect these appeasing behaviors of free men,
but, then again, if you're enslaved in your mind, you're not free.

The truth is that most of our self-appointed "conservative" standard
bearers, including the majority of the clerical employees - which some
still call pastors - of our steepled 501(c)(3) corporations - which some
still call churches - are so scared stiff to even go near the subject of
lawfully limited taxation that they won't even watch a video or crack open
a book to find out. Indeed, they're sitting in mental jail cells with the
doors wide open. Yet when you peel back the IRS curtain for a glimpse of
the fearsome Wizard, you find a little man in his shorts pulling the
strings to your wallet.

The truth is that there are no shortcuts to liberty. And there can be no
true condition of liberty without the American people being educated as to
their rights, actually asserting them and living under them. Because the
bottom line is: if you want to BE free, you have to LIVE free. Even some
of the most sincere Patriots in the Constitutional Revival Movement behave
as if there were some sort of "demilitarized zone of rights" in which they
can wander to "meet, eat" and then "retreat" from.

To make the point, allow me to draw a few comparisons with our
forefathers.

Would Samuel Adams have applied for an "occupational license" to run his
brewery? I don't think so. What do you think?

Would James Madison have consented to being issued a State Serial Number
by King George? Did you consent to the assignment of your number?

Would Benjamin Rush have used a taxpayer identifying number to
accumulate benefits from the British Crown? Are you?

Would Pastor Jonas Clark have applied for the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts' permission to perform marriages? Did you and your spouse
apply for permission from your state?

Would John Adams have registered his children under state-issued "birth
certificates"? Are your children registered with your state government?

Would Caesar Rodney have requested a "license" to travel freely upon the
roads? Do you?

Would Paul Revere have registered his silversmith business under a
government-issued employer identification number before daring to hire
others? Is your business registered and regulated?

Would George Washington have begged for permission to own and carry the
same types of firearms necessary to thwart tyranny as King George used to
further it? As I'm sure we all know, Vermont is the only state left in the
Union where you can carry concealed without a so-called "permit". That's
pretty ironic, considering that Vermont's overall political climate is
just a little to the left of Lenin.

Would Benjamin Franklin have applied for a permit to build, remodel or
improve his private property? Was your home built with a building permit?
Would you dare to add an addition without one? Do you allow zoning board
bureaucrats and local tax collectors to come onto your private property to
inspect and measure it whenever they feel like it? Or do you have your
property posted "No Trespassing"?

Would Thomas Paine have paid "protection money" to the IRS to "save" his
property from plunder absent due process of Law? Did you demonstrate your
"voluntary compliance" and file your sworn confession this past April
15th? Did you remember to pay your protection money?

Would Fisher Ames have testified against himself on a Form 1040 in
waiver of his protected rights under the Fifth Amendment, then
surrendered his "books and records" in contempt for the Fourth?

Would Noah Webster have "ratted out" his employees and subcontractors to
British tax collectors "sent forth to harass our people and eat out their
substance" by sending Forms 1099 and W-2 in to King George in their names?
Do you inform on your employees and contractors in this manner?

Would Elbridge Gerry have allowed government to educate his children? Do
you?

Would Roger Sherman have attempted to build lasting wealth he could pass
on to his children in the form of fiat, paper promises to pay? How much of
your "net worth" is in the form of CD's, bank savings accounts, bonds, and
other coupons the government can repudiate at any time? Remember, every
fiat currency in world history has always collapsed eventually.

Now, in case you were wondering, here are the correct answers to the
above, if I may be so bold as to make the assertion.

A truly free American is never serially numbered by his own government.
"Big Brother's" surveillance and control programs like the new national
employees' registry and the "deadbeat dads" databases would be impossible
without persuading the citizenry to accept their very own electronic
tattoo in the form of an SSN or EIN. Bear in mind that things can be
numbered, but never a free person. Branding is for cattle, not human
beings!

A truly free people do not apply to government for the "privilege" of
obtaining a State Serial Number for themselves or their newborns. Free
Americans need no such numeric identifiers. The New World Order gravy
train would grind to a stop were the peoples of the world to give up their
state-issued identifiers.

A free and responsibly self-reliant American prepares and saves for his
own future "retirement" and does not live his life exchanging Liberty for
the political promise of government-sponsored welfare "benefits".

A free man and woman marry each other before witnesses and in the eyes of
God. They do not need a state-sanctioned third party to toss magic
marriage dust over them and declare them wed "by the power vested in me by
the Governor or some other bureaucrat".

A free American does not apply for the "privilege" of obtaining a
"marriage license" so the State can monitor his offspring like so many
production units on the federal plantation, meanwhile awaiting the day it
can stick its hands in his pocket to probate his estate, and deprive his
children of a substantial portion of their inheritance.

A free American need not apply for the "privilege" of being recorded in a
central database of births. An entry in the Family Bible or Affidavit of
Witness of Live Birth will readily suffice to verify citizenship or to
obtain a passport.

A free American does not apply for the "privilege" of being issued a
Motor Vehicle Operator's License. The right to travel freely within and
amongst the Union States without restriction is unalienable.

A free American does not apply for the "privilege" of being issued a
chiropractic, real estate, insurance or other such "occupational"
license. The right to contract freely, including the right to hire
others or to exchange your labor or property for real money or some
other commodity is protected under the Constitution under Article I,
Section 10 and, as such, can not be regulated or taxed.

A free American needs no government permission to build, remodel or
otherwise improve his own private property. Nowhere in the Constitution
can the authority be found for one man to dictate to another man how be
may use or enjoy his own property. All "zoning" ordinances restricting the
use of private property are absolutely unconstitutional.

A free American does not apply for the "privilege" of taxing his
domestic source income by testifying against himself on income tax
returns and paying "protection money" to the IRS. Under Title 26 of the
United States Code, which is the Internal Revenue Code, returns of income
are required solely of nonresident aliens or their U.S. representatives;
also of citizens with exclusively foreign sources of income, and; of
citizens working in foreign countries under tax treaties. Read the law!

A free American does not inform on his fellow Americans on 1099's and
W-2's. Both of these transmittal documents pertain to employment taxes
only, and not to income tax. Read the law! Social Security employment
taxes are imposed by law in the island territories and possessions and are
100% participatory for citizens within the Union States. Read the law!

A free American does not surrender his "books and records" at IRS
audits. The Fourth Amendment protects the rights of the citizen to
privacy in his papers and effects. Under the Internal Revenue Code,
audits are authorized pertaining solely to excise taxable activities
such as the manufacture and sale of alcohol, tobacco and firearms only.
Read the law!

A free American does not allow Government to be the educator of his
children. There is no provision in the Constitution for Congress to fund
government-sponsored schools. Read the law! Knowing that government will
never allow its next crop of "taxpayers" to be inculcated with truths
which might weaken its power base or diminish its future revenues, no
parent would ever willingly allow Big Educator to invade and subvert the
minds of his children. By living under the tax laws as actually written -
laws which do not tax domestic sources of income - Americans can raise
their standard of living as much as 50% overnight, thereby freeing up one
working parent to devote their energies to staying at home and
home-educating, where they belong!

A free American does not surrender his children's inheritance to
government. A free American passes 100% of his property to his children,
not to the "state". Under the tax code, gift and estate taxes apply solely
within the federal territories and possessions and abroad under tax
treaties. These taxes cannot apply within the States of the Union as they
would otherwise violate Article I, Section 2, Clause 3 which prohibits
direct taxation without apportionment to the States. Read the law!

A free American does not build wealth in fiat, paper promises to pay. Real
wealth is gold and silver and real property. All else is paper or
electronic promises to pay and can - and eventually will - be repudiated
by the issuer. Savvy citizens remain debt free and store their earnings in
real, material substance and goods which can be used in times of shortage
or emergency. Read your history!

And finally, no free American would dream of registering his "liberty
teeth" with the Monarch! I suggest you read "Unintended Consequences" by
John Ross.

You see, real Liberty starts with you - in your home, in your community,
in your state, in your church. It does not start at the State House, it
starts at Your House! So I ask you, can a free American ever live
partially free? Can a woman ever be partially pregnant? How, then, does a
real American comport himself? What can we expect of him?

A real American severs all connections to government-issued,
non-required taxpayer identification numbers such as the "Slave
Surveillance Number" and the "Employer Intimidation Number" and forgoes
government welfare "entitlement" handouts.

A real American ceases patronizing fractional-reserve credit-creation
factories such as banks and financial institutions, and their usurious
plastic shackles.

A real American refuses to be indentured to faceless, multinational NWO
corporations. He runs his own business and hires his neighbors, not
government-subsidized, equal-opportunists.

A real American boycotts New World Order sweat shops such as Levi's and
Disney.

A real American buys "Made In America" products, thereby stanching the
hemorrhage of outflowing jobs and keeping them right here in America where
they belong.

A real American stops appeasing the taxman and, by respecting and
following the written law, retains 100% of the fruits of his labor right
where it belongs - in "Hip Pocket National Bank"!

A real American liberates his children from daily incarceration in
government indoctrination centers and educates them himself with his own
values and beliefs, at home where children belong.

A real American worships at a de jure, unregistered church and declines to
pass the plate at an IRS-approved, 501(c)(3) "church".

A real American thwarts the brainwashing of his children's
impressionable minds by turning off the light emitting beam called
"Tee-Vee" and reading to his children instead.

A real American thwarts the infantilization of his own mind by the
news-faking media by shunning the major newspapers - our own national
version of Pravda - and changing his sources of information!

In short, A real American "Just Says No!" to unconstitutional government
and would-be world elitists at all levels - by becoming self-reliant,
private and free. Always remember that it is the very nature of government
to be corrupt. The corruption in our own government started right in the
first administration with Hamilton and the bankers. Politicians are
chameleons and parade leaders. When the parade changes direction, they get
back out in front and continue to "lead" it in the new direction,
according to which way the political wind is blowing.

Change will never come from the top. You cannot appeal to tyranny to
right itself! Change will never come from begging self-appointed
responsibility consultants for our rights. If you want to BE free, you
must LIVE free, under the Law that God gave Moses. The same Law that came
down through the Magna Carta to the Constitution and the state
constitutions. God tells us "Thou Shalt Not Steal". What part of that
don't politicians understand? And if they don't, how can you expect them
to save you?

"Steal" is defined in Black's Law Dictionary, Revised 4th Edition as
"...the felonious taking and carrying away of the personal property of
another...without right and without leave or consent of owner...either by
larceny, embezzlement, or false pretenses." The Constitution states under
the Fifth Amendment "...nor shall private property be taken for public use
without just compensation." That's your prohibition against being
compelled to participate in the kind of intergenerational wealth transfer
as dreamed of by Karl Marx. Today, we call it Social Security.

Of course, let's not forget Medicare, Medicaid and unemployment
benefits; food stamps; agricultural and housing subsidies; small
business and college loans; free milk and free cheese. All such benefits
are transfers of wealth extracted under fraudulent pretenses from the
labor of other Americans, a direct transfer of purloined personal property
via the government middleman from one private pocket to another, perhaps
to yours. The current ratio of social security donors to benefits
recipients is about 3.2 to 1. And two of those 3.2 are flipping hamburgers
at a multinational fast food corporation.

This entire colossal social wealth redistribution scheme stands in stark
repugnance to the intent of the Founders and Framers, yet its participants
are in large part ignorant as to its very nature. The grim, bald truth is
that millions of Americans, including self-professed Christian Americans
who enjoy the receipt of Social Security and other entitlement benefits,
are unwittingly stealing from their brothers and sisters in clear,
undeniable violation of God's direct commandment not to steal.

In closing, let me observe that real American Liberty will never be
reclaimed through negotiation or compromise with an out-of-control
collectivist government bent on blending America into an emerging global
super-state under the command and control of the United Nations. Nor will
our freedoms be regained by participating in so-called "conservative" and
"libertarian" programs, all of which appear to amount, as I said earlier,
to little more than well-funded debating societies. Just as Liberty knows
no compromise, neither does the truth.

And the truth is that there is no fuzzy demilitarized zone. There's a
sharply demarcated line in the sand drawn at Yorktown, and the new King
George is breathing in our faces once again. If you're interested in
teaming up with your neighbors nationwide and taking a real stand for the
American flavor of true Liberty, if you're interested in actually living
FREE, I invite you to take a good look at the Save-A-Patriot Fellowship.

START A TAX-FREE INFORMATION REVOLUTION IN YOUR BRAIN TODAY WITH
THESE POWERHOUSE EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS FROM INFORM AMERICA!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------

EXTENSIVE EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS AVAILABLE -- The materials listed below
(book, videos and audio cassettes) have been developed as the result of
literally thousands of hours of diligence and dedication to the cause of
American Liberty. All items can be ordered separately, however, to put in
proper perspective the requested donation for all of these materials when
obtained in the entirety, it is less than the amount typically spent by
most Americans for a single weekend "getaway". When considered as a body
of knowledge, these materials will provide all the education necessary for
any diligent American to free himself (perhaps the ultimate "getaway" ;-)
from mental bondage to the IRS and our would-be ruling elite. This is not
an exaggeration, but a fact, and one which I can state with confidence,
knowing from personal experience the requirements for such mental
emancipation. Could it be that your chains are still imaginary? All
materials come with a 100% money-back, no-questions-asked refund guarantee
if any statements found within can be shown to be inaccurate, and not just
a matter of opinion. Ordering information will be found at the end of the
list below.

HOW TO ORDER -- Select and print out those items below which you wish to
order, then notate in the underscore preceding each item the number of
each you wish sent to you. All donation amounts listed include the costs
of materials, labor and postage. Do the math and mail your donation in
full (and in the manner specified below) to:

INFORM AMERICA!, 12 Carroll Street, Suite 1787, Westminster, MD
21157-4831

FORMS OF PAYMENT ACCEPTED -- Donations will be accepted ONLY when
tendered in "cash" (FRN's = Federal Reserve Notes) or in TOTALLY BLANK
U.S. postal money order. A totally blank postal money order is one left
exactly as purchased and handed to you by the postal clerk -- i.e., with
nothing filled in in either the PAYEE or PAYOR areas. Before sending,
remove the bottom page and make notations upon it for your records if so
desired. The top page IS the actual money order. Sorry, all personal and
business checks, non-postal money orders, non-blank postal money orders,
welfare vouchers and food stamps will be returned. Please allow 14 days
for processing and shipping.

____ LADIES' FORUM (audio) - Upon seeing their husbands take a stand
against the IRS and stop filing returns, many American women panic -

and family will think they're nuts and abandon them, and E) they're the
only family in America this is happening to. Well, take heart, ladies!
During the 1995 Independent Representative Convention, the women staffers
at Save-A-Patriot Fellowship headquarters, plus the wives of some IR's in
attendance, took the stage in an unrehearsed, totally impromptu session,
and the gals really let it "all hang out!". This tape is powerful! There
wasn't a dry eye in the place. Listen as education turns these ladies'
deepest fears into principled resolve, as family after family stands
together to fight tyranny as God intended. Highly recommended, even if
you're single! Two 60-minute tapes, 120 minutes total. 15.00 FRN's
donation requested.

____ INCARCERATION SURVIVORS PANEL (audio) - Most Americans today so
fear their government that they actually fear going to jail, even if
necessary to defend the liberties of everyone else, a condition the
Founders would have found contemptible. At a recent IR Convention,
Gordon interviewed several older Patriots, all of whom have been
all-expense-paid guests (and some more than once) of the state or
Federal government for "willful failure to file" or "tax evasion".
Listen as they tell their stories - what happened that led up to the
trial, the actual trial experience, entertaining life inside prison
camp, and life afterwards. Guaranteed to lower your anxiety level
considerably. Their stories are powerful and heart-warming. And
guaranteed to "screw your courage to the sticking point" (thank you Bill
Shakespeare). Two 60-minute tapes, 120 minutes total. 15.00 FRN's donation
requested.

____ JUST THE FACTS (video) - This is the "granddaddy" of all
constitutional tax education lectures. Twelve hours of riveting,
eye-opening education on six 2-hour VHS tapes. Lawyers have admitted
that they never learned this stuff in (case) law school. You'll have
steam coming out both ears by the time John Kotmair finishes showing you
how the IRS uses phony business codes to trick their master computer in
Martinsburg, W. VA into treating you as a "taxpayer". Unbelievable, but
don't shoot the TV! Comes beautifully boxed with patriotic artwork. Also
includes an Affidavit of Sale to the purchaser, useful in case the IRS
ever decides to pick on you, because they don't want an American jury
watching this video! Six 2-hour VHS videotapes, 12 hours total. 210.00
FRN's donation requested.

NO LEGAL ADVICE EVER GIVEN!
---------------------------------------------------
Please take note: We are not attorneys, licensed (i.e., "permitted") by
the American Bar Association to practice law, nor are we privileged to
claim membership in any other such private, closed-shop, monopolistic,
legal-services labor union. For that reason we cannot, do not, and will
not EVER provide legal, tax or financial advice of any kind. However, NO
citizen needs a license (i.e., regulated and taxed, state-granted
privilege) to exercise his or her UNALIENABLE RIGHT simply to show another
citizen what the written Law ACTUALLY SAYS (please see First Amendment).

INFORM AMERICA! takes NO "position" whatsoever with regard to the tax laws
nor do we "protest" a single word to be found therein. However, since we
apparently suffer the handicap of lacking the formal educational (read:
mind-conditioned) benefits deriving from a multi-year course in sophistry
at Law School (correction: Case Law School, funded in part through
government grants and loans)), graduates from which are allegedly imbued
with a special, mysterious ability to "interpret" the Law (we always
thought interpretation was the province of tea leaf readers), we are
forced simply to READ the Law and SEE WHAT IT ACTUALLY SAYS.

Being, therefore, legal peasants as we are, we simply understand that:

* The Law is written in plain English;
* Presumably, the Legislature speaks, reads and writes English and
understands the rules of statutory construction;
* The Law must be written in clear, straightforward language so as to be
readily understood by any citizen of average intelligence; * Any Law not
so written must be held "void for vagueness"; * The Law means exactly what
it says and says exactly what it means; * The Law is not subject to
inference or interpretation; * The Law is confined ONLY to that which is
written and specifically stated; * The outcome of a trial pertains to the
participants in that action ONLY; * Article 1, Section 1 of the
Constitution confers ALL law-making power to Congress, and NO law-making
power to a judge; * All so-called "case law" is therefore pure sophistry!

INFORM AMERICA! strives simply to show a yet largely uninformed public and
their fee-based tax professionals what the Law ACTUALLY SAYS. Apparently,
this novel, radical, and (for some) controversial act makes us highly
suspect in certain quarters. Finally, we NEVER recommend or encourage you,
Gentle Reader, to engage in any particular course of action. If you
believe that the Law requires you to file certain returns and to pay
certain taxes, you should do so. The IRS will certainly appreciate your
generous magnanimity (a/k/a "voluntary compliance").
