* The New and Improved Pledge of Allegiance
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: The New and Improved Pledge of Allegiance Act
The following Act is submitted for consideration by the United States Congress, and all 50 state legislatures.
[Begin Proposed Act]
The New and Improved Pledge of Allegiance Act:
Purpose: America and its people have grown in their sophistication since its founding nearly 225 years ago, and we now have need for a "new and improved" Pledge of Allegiance. The language contained within the current pledge is old and outdated, and does not reflect the American majority, nor public opinion and the system of beliefs about our government. We ask implementation of the new pledge language for conformity and resemblance to public servant statements, actions and declarations made in media, education, and government to strengthen and unify the body politic. This should be done for the public good and the maintenance of our current system of government. We ask that this proposed new and improved language for the "pledge" be enacted immediately for our nations sake, and for the future prosperity of our democracy.
Enactment Proposal: The following "Pledge" is revised and improved language proposed to Congress and the 50 state legislatures. The Act shall be known as: "The New and Improved United States Pledge of Allegiance". The New and Improved Pledge of Allegiance Act will become the official pledge for schools, the halls of government, and entire body politic and shall replace the current United States Pledge of Allegiance.
Proposed New Pledge Title: The Pledge of Allegiance of the American State.
Proposed Improved Pledge Language: "I pledge allegiance to the ideals of the ruling majority of the public, and to the Democracy for which we espouse, many races, under gods, divisible, with privileges and jurisprudence for most." Proposed enactment date by January 1st, 2002 This Bill or similar has yet to be assigned an H.R. number.
[End Proposed Act]
The previous is an example of sarcasm. Albeit sad and demented, this new pledge is right on and applicable to today's perceptions and understandings by the public.
Hallmarks of Democracy "Mobocracy": rule according to the whims of majority public opinion. "Judicial Legislation": rulings from the bench in conformity with "social policy".
"Democracy is a form of government that cannot long survive, for as soon as the people learn that they have a voice in the fiscal policies of the government, they will move to vote for themselves all the money in the treasury, and bankrupt the nation." - Karl Marx, author of the Communist Manifesto.
Hallmarks of a Constitutional Republic
All laws are written laws.
The lawful actions of government can arise from written authority only.
The laws must be written so that any Citizen of average intelligence can understand it, otherwise
it must be held "void for vagueness".
"I pledge allegiance to the flag, and to the Republic for which it stands..." United States pledge of Allegiance."
"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government...." - Article 4 Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution.

NEWS: * Imperialism -vs- Nationalism
The following article was mailed to all members of the Save-A-Patriot Fellowship via the members assistance program back in October of 2000.
THE LIBERTY TREE Vol. 3, Number 10 - October 2000
Imperialism -vs- Nationalism:
The Roll of the Mass Controlled Media in the War Against Liberty
Do you really know why Hitler was so evil? Our libertarian minded readers probably know that it was because he was a socialist in thought, word and deed. Our libertarian readership is also mostly aware that socialism is nothing more than the means by which one group of people plunder another group of people under color of law: legalized wealth redistribution. This is why socialism, the antithesis of liberty, is so evil: plunder, by a select few (oligarchy) - along with the pain it imposes upon the plundered - is "legitimized". And in America, this Oligarchy has some "spreading around" money to keep entitlement seekers contented and supportive.
When one considers that Stalin and Roosevelt were also socialists of the first order - in fact, more so than Hitler - then one must wonder, "Why did we go to war to shut down Hitler's operation?" The answer is simple. The Allied Forces did not war against Hitler (and Mussolini) because of their socialist policies and the havoc they wrought upon their victims; they had no problem with that, whatsoever! In fact, these socialists encouraged socialism worldwide - mass plunder under color of law - and they (the oligarchy) wanted to control the entire operation globally, i.e., under an imperial government a/k/a United Nations. This is what serious imperialists live for. Indeed, empires (such as the United Nations) cannot exist without socialism - legalized plunder. However, what these imperialists - Stalin, Roosevelt, Churchill et al., could not tolerate, was that Hitler was a nationalist. Imperialists can not tolerate nationalism! In fact, Imperialists' intolerance of nationalism is downright pathological; it is right up there with their intolerance of , individualis
m, self-sufficiency, sovereignty and independent thought. For indeed, nations are the ultimate manifestation of sovereignty on a collective scale (within a limited geographical region), and nationalism is the antithesis of imperialism, insofar as the collective interests of people are concerned; just as liberty is the antithesis of slavery, insofar as the individual interests of people are concerned.
Regrettably, most people today have no grasp of what nationalism and imperialism even are! Indeed, they do not even know what liberty itself, and its manifestations are! In fairness, I will state that most cannot be faulted for this, because people can only know what they see, read, or are told. We do not come out of the womb knowing all about liberty and slavery on an individual and collective scale, and their manifestations. I believe the fault lies mostly with people like Peter Jennings, Dan Rather, Ted Turner, and, first and. foremost, their puppet masters.
Before we examine why nationalism strikes fear in the hearts of today's globalist oligarchy and discuss its primary tool to eradicate nationalism: we will first define our most important terms.
Noah Webster defined "nation" thusly:
"Nation. A body of people inhabiting the same country, or united under the same sovereign or government; as the English nation; the French nation. It often happens that many nations are subject to one government; in which case, the word nation usually denotes a body of people speaking the same language, or a body that has formerly been under a distinct government, but which has been conquered or incorporated with a larger nation. Thus, the empire of Russia comprehends many nations, as did formerly the Roman and Persian empires. Nation, as its etymology imports, originally denoted a family or race of men descended from a common progenitor, like tribe, but by emigration, conquest and intermixture of men of different families, this distinction is in most countries lost. " American Dictionary of the English Language, by Noah Webster, 1828.
Now lets see what Noah Webster - had to say about "liberty."
In the way of civil and political liberty, he states,
Civil Liberty, is the liberty of men in a state of society, or natural liberty, so far only abridged and restrained, as is necessary and expedient for the safety and interest of the society, state or nation. A restraint of natural liberty not necessary or expedient for the public is tyranny or oppression. Civil liberty is an exemption from the arbitrary will of others, which exemption is secured by established laws, which restrain every man from injuring or controlling another. Hence, the restraints of law are essential to liberty. Political liberty, is sometimes used (is synonymous with civil liberty. But it more properly designates the liberty of a nation, the freedom of a nation or state from all unjust abridgment of its rights and independence by another nation.American Dictionary of the English Language, by Noah Webster, 1828.
Having defined those terms, we may better see that the embodiment of liberty in this Nation is found in the constitutions of each of the 50 states of our Union. Further, we may also better fathom the implications of the United States Constitutional guarantee of a Republican (libertarian) form of government (see Article IV § 4). The essence of our Constitutional Republic - and libertarian governments generally - is that governmental authority arises from the bottom, up, i.e., from the citizens of a small geographical region (such as a county). On the other hand, the extreme antithesis of our republican (libertarian) form of government, where governmental power arises from the bottom up on a small geographical scale, is the empire, where power descends from the top, down, on a massive geographical scale. Quite simply, Empires are unnatural monstrosities erected for the purpose of efficient plunder on a massive scale. And if history tells us anything about Empires, their destiny is always the same: they are like a house of cards and their utter collapse is certain. When empires collapse, you have misery on a massive scale. [This is why it is important for We The People to understand these things. For a more expansive analysis of this, see the article, Sheriff, Counties, and our Republican Form of Government, the lead article in the Fall edition of the Reasonable Action Newsletter.
Now that we have established that liberty is good and that socialism is bad; and that nationalism is good and imperialism is bad: we can now examine how today's imperialists use their most powerful tool to erect and maintain their empire - a streamlined system of plunder. This tool is propaganda; and the means by which it is administered is via the controlled mass media.
Propaganda must be planned and executed by only one authority; that's the oligarchy that owns the mass controlled media. To install the global government, propaganda must be directed toward the correct targets, and various techniques are used to vilify this target. One of the most effective techniques used to vilify the target is by demonizing the target. The most popular way to do this today, is by associating the target with Adolph Hitler, and "neo-nazis"; and the KKK.
Let's now examine its skillful use. Pat Buchanan is a libertarian nationalist that the mass controlled media cannot completely suppress. Because the empire (UN) is in its early stages of development and is like a house of cards, you can be sure that Buchanan and his ilk strike fear in their hearts. So Buchanan must not only be squelched (to the extent that they can); he must also be vilified, using state of the art propaganda techniques. The following, taken from CBS Evening News with Dan Rather, is a fine example of this. Take note of terms I emphasizes, and the imagery invoked:
"A battle is now opening in Long Beach, California, over what's left of Ross Perot's Reform Party. Former Republican Pat Buchanan figures to take over that party at its convention this week, and be its presidential nominee. But hate groups Buchanan says he doesn't like, also want in with your tax dollars bankrolling the whole thing. CBS's Jim Stewart has been investigating.
"It has not been an easy time for Pat Buchanan since he bolted the GOP to run for president on the Reform Party ticket. Not only did leaders in his new party challenge his candidacy today (shouts of a large angry crowd in background) but now Buchanan is having to root out anti- Black and anti- Jewish extremists who have joined his cause. Faye Buchanan, his sister and chief strategist, recently had to fire the head of a White supremacist organization who was a volunteer with the campaign. That organization, the American Friends of the British National Party, which routinely hears from former KKK leader David Duke, has actively encouraged its members to back Buchanan. More troubling is an assessment from a neo-nazi group, Storm Front, which has advised members in the past that Buchanan will make White Americans more aware of the real issues, and their real enemies. Faye Buchanan said her brother had never even heard of the organizations.
Faye Buchanan: "Categorically, Pat has stated that he does not welcome these kinds of people into his movement,- that he does not want their money, their vote or time."
"But it is Buchanan's own rhetoric about immigration and the Israeli lobby that has contributed to the unwanted support, charge reform party officials who oppose Buchanan. "I think the bottom line is that Pat Buchanan is attempting to turn the Reform Party into a social - conservative fund raising organization; and he's bringing with him, all of those people who support that agenda." The real issues, say political experts, is who will run on the reform party in the future? Will it be Pat Buchanan and Ross Perot, the man who created it? Or will it be extremists who say it is a vehicle to the national stage. The stakes aren't small. Already, the party is on 37 state ballots, and this year alone, will receive 12 million dollars in federal matching funds."
So, they leave the listener with the impression that Buchanan "bolts" like a thief; hate groups and neo-nazi's are flocking to his party; and he is stealing 12 million from taxpayers. This deceitful piece exemplifies how advanced the state of the art of propaganda is today; the effect is almost subliminal.
Liberty Works Radio Network is not the lap dog of the Oligarchy like CBS, ABC, CBS, et al. We live up to our motto, "Truth in Broadcasting! "We proclaim liberty throughout the land, and we are nationalists!" And their empire - their house of cards, cannot withstand Truth! You can be sure this strikes fear in the heart of the socialist/globalist oligarchy! - assuming they even have hearts. Financially and otherwise, please support Liberty Works Radio Network!

INFORMATION:
* Now You See It... Now You Don't!
The following article from issue #232 of Reasonable Action, the members-only newsletter of the Save-A-Patriot Fellowship.
Now You See It... Now You Don't!
by William B. Huff, Sr.
For several years the Fellowship has been publicly exposing the fact that the OMB Control Number pertaining to a return under Section 1 of the Internal Revenue Code attached the lawful filing requirement to IRS Form 2555 return for FOREIGN EARNED INCOME. This had been part of an incredibly consistent picture that had emerged over many years of combined research within the patriot community and particularly here at S.A.P. We have known for some time that the Internal Revenue Code taxes foreigners here and American citizens working abroad or having qualified foreign source income. The Code has been found to be totally in line with this thesis time after time. As we have used this thesis to study the Code, the Regulations and the Internal Revenue Manual, we have not been disappointed - only more firmly convinced.
After several years of publishing a reference within the Code of Federal Regulations that linked the 2555 return for foreign earned income to section 1 of the Internal Revenue Code, suddenly, without warning, the reference for section 1 [26 USC § 1] that had been located within the Code of Federal Regulations in 26 CFR Part 602 to End, at Section 602.101, was deleted. New editions of the CFR have [since 1994] listed no entry relating Form 2555 to Section l of the Internal Revenue Code.
In this article we will see that the IRS has painted itself into yet another corner and appreciate how unlikely it is that they will be able to extricate themselves. Our objective has not changed. We must continue to press for our nation of laws and not of men - for a return to the sanity of the Constitution.
What Caused This Mysterious Disappearance?
Since it was the first entry in the Code of Federal Regulations section that lists OMB control numbers for tax forms 26 CFR Part 602 §602.101] it attracted a great deal of attention and spawned a great many controversial exchanges between the IRS and the public. We'd like to think the Fellowship was a catalyst in this particular aspect of the controversy. Our videos and newsletters have been exposing these components of GRAND CONSTRUCTIVE FRAUD for years. Unfortunately, from the IRS' apparent point of view, thousands of other documents would have to be destroyed if they are to hold out any hope that the truth will finally be overcome. Perhaps the Rose Law Firm could help or maybe Fawn Hall. The shredder business is booming these days.
Simply removing a reference without an adequate explanation [probably an impossibility in this case] will provide more ammunition for those "conspiracy nuts" who still believe we live in a Constitutional Republic, where, if a law is not written in clear language understandable by the common man, it must be declared void for vagueness. Is it possible the IRS will live to regret deleting the only reference that certified a proper return under section 1 of the Internal Revenue Code? Was it easier for them to convince citizens that a clear reference was vague; or will they fare better without any reference at all?
Form 2555 "FOREIGN EARNED INCOME" is obviously the proper return for section 1 of the Internal Revenue Code, but for some unknown reason the IRS has deleted its reference from the CFR without putting anything in its place. Was the previous entry really in error, or was it more information than the public should have? We shall see. It's hard to tell how many changes the IRS can make without stirring up more and more citizens. Someday soon the American people may awaken to the fact that they can no longer afford to be afraid of the IRS - or afraid to know the truth.
If the explanation that has been proffered by the IRS is correct, a certain SF-83 Document previously certified by the OMB is either fraudulent or it was executed in a '4related" error - or perhaps it may disappear. Erroneous executions can be very embarrassing at times. The SF-83 is the document that must be filed at the Office of Management and Budget in order to certify the lawful authority for an information request document. It also declares whether a response to the given document is 4'voluntary," "mandatory," or "required to obtain or retain a benefit."
Obviously, from the point of view of anyone in government who wants to continue confusing the disillusioned, they have just so many cards to play. So they must play them with a certain "flourish." Tyrannies have toppled before. They are, as history will bare out, rather fragile things, once their cover is blown.
Even these exhibits are prima facie evidence of our government servants' tendency to be less than forth-coming. What authority is there for the location of an OMB in "numerical order?" It is obvious to anyone who has read the language on the front of the 2555 Foreign Earned Income return that there might be a logical and proper order for OMB control numbers under a particular section. You see the form itself says "attach to the front of Form 1040." Could it be that the 2555 is a "primary" return and the 1040 is only a worksheet that is an appropriate component for calculating tax liabilities for many different sections? Will the instruction on the 2555 be changed to say, "attach all tax forms in numerical order?"
We might notice a "minor" difference between what the IRS says and the law [not much of a surprise]. The language the IRS chooses to use in its Privacy Act Notice is quite surgical in its omissions. The notice as well as the letter we have from the IRS about the allegedly missing OMB control number omits a couple of important specifics that appear in the law. Whereas the law states that a "currently valid" OMB control number must appear on a form, the IRS wants to couch it differently by "graciously" admitting the Act "requires Federal agencies to display an OMB control number with their information requests..." Of course we understand that including the specific language "currently valid" could lead to other "unnecessary questions" from "picky customers." Perhaps they might even become interested enough to start reading the SF-83 review documents that may conclusively prove fraud in this case.
The "true" statement in the letter from the IRS is oh so special. "This is an error [referring to the previous inclusion of the reference linking section I to the 2555 return for foreign earned income] because section 1.1-1 provides rules and cross references for the computation of income tax on individuals and does not contain any information collection or filing requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act." This is of course in direct contradiction with the SF-83 review document - apparently still on file at the OMB. Further, it reveals that the filing requirement is not contained in this famous/infamous section of the Code that the IRS has for decades been telling people contains a filing requirement.
Now What's It Gonna Be?
The language of section 1 clearly presumes a filing requirement exists somewhere else in the Code since it states "Married filing jointly..." It therefore becomes less and less "apparent" that any requirements that might be "encoded" into section 1, actually pertain to citizens living and working within the States of the Union.
The "admission" might also tacitly imply that section 1 has no relationship to U.S. citizens residing in the States of the Union. When the agent states that it "does not contain any information collection or filing requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act ~.." he hasn't, within that language, ruled out the probability that it may "contain information collection or filing requirements for U.S citizens residing elsewhere - as in the case of FOREIGN EARNED INCOME," that are not subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act - a situation wherein the protections of the Paperwork Reduction Act would also not apply, since the income is being earned outside of the 50 States of the Union. There are many gems to be mined from the tiny little things the IRS chooses not to say within certain contexts.
Consider the actual law the IRS was feigning compliance with in the "effort" above. In the written law itself we see a much more specific reference to the lawful requirements.
This raises another interesting problem for the IRS. If they try to renumber all the entries for the 1040 and place them in numerical" order, they might run the risk of raising more eyebrows. Wouldn't it make more sense to enter the returns in order of importance? Wasn't that what they had done in the past? What will they say when someone asks, "if they are being placed in numerical order now, what criterion was previously used to establish the sequence?" It had seemed to us that the 1040 was not a "primary" return, but was listed under many sections since it is a "worksheet."
Another Loose End?
If the original entry for section 1.1-1 in the regulations, was incorrect, where can we now go to find out any lawful authority for a return required of a citizen who has foreign earned income?
Wishing you a tax-free day,
