UPDATES:
* WARNING - Conspiracy Theory Ahead... The Ron Paul Letters - He Knows the Score!
Last week we ran a press release from representative Ron Paul's office. Our commentary regarding his proposed "Cost of Government Awareness Act of 2000" was intended to do one thing. Show how even well intentioned legislation can be detrimental to uncovering the truth about the income tax when it only provides the public with a façade of relief. However a good strategist never reveals his ultimate ends until his victim is committed or over extended beyond the point of recovery. We are trying to discover who Ron Paul's victims might possibly be.

Ron Paul certainly has an interesting approach at awakening Taxpayers, however would his Act if passed set back the Constitutional Revival Movement's attempt to reach the public with the ultimate truth regarding voluntary compliance and lawful taxation? Certainly not immediately. Has Ron Paul allowed himself to become an unwitting tool for the hidden agenda of world financiers? Their ultimate agenda being point-of-sale taxation, the holy grail of mechanized theft and inflation control (better known as a National Sales Tax). How would Ron Paul play a part in this agenda if tax reform was brought to fruition? Undoubtedly through bogus tax reform measures incrementally placed as an ignorant public applauds en masse until the final goal is reached. Here we have the true "tax reform" that will release a method of taxation that will absolutely lock in a system of mandatory compliance. The literal and not so funny, I can't buy or sell scenario. Is this possible or just conspiracy theory? Is Ron Paul really a champion of the people, or is he an Internationalist masquerading as a Constitutionalist, happily piping away on his flute as the populist conservative types who support him bank on down the road toward the awaiting cliff. We certainly cannot know for sure what Ron Paul has in mind with respect to his recent Act considering his past correspondence on the subject of the income tax. However, we will let you dear reader decide as we now begin with our investigation into his recently proposed Act and past correspondence on the issue of the income tax.

Now for Something Completely Different... The Government Works Just Fine, Thank You Very Much.

<<Social Commentary On>> I like to say when I'm debating with disgruntled citizens over government corruption that our system of government is perfectly fine. I then go on to say that our representatives are doing a fantastic job of representing the people. At that point most people either look at me with a bit of awe or complete disbelief. They are either thinking to themselves - How could someone make such a naïve statement? Or, he is certainly nuts. Here is my rationale. We send people to Washington to represent us, We The People. If a majority of the electorate are practicing, card-carrying Socialists who will they then send to office? They will send Socialists under a party label of democrat, republican or whatever. It is then the snorting disgruntled citizenry, which sends their money off to Washington voluntarily each and every April 15th to pay for the programs that their party leader championed. They then clamor at the feet of their god, be it the state or federal "free" cheese factory to get back what was once theirs to begin with. I ask you, what kind of people and system would you expect to represent you but one bent on taking from the haves and giving to the have-nots when you are directly responsible for its continuation? I say dear citizen, are you a young piglet eagerly waiting your turn at the "benefit" teat of the sow we call our government? Yes? Then STOP complaining! You are getting exactly the government you deserve. That is why our system of government is perfectly fine, because it still represents the people. <<Social Commentary Off>>

Understanding the Purpose of the Act.

Ron Paul's recent Act was written for the benefit of Taxpayers, or more simply those who are under the daily stress of working every other hour for their socialist minded "system". We ourselves, those who live by the law could care less what Washington does as long as they recognize the law as currently written, and don't attempt to violate the Constitutional mandates contained therein. Ron had something to say about that in his letter which is available for download at www.egroups/group/taxfreedom101 under the FILES section.

Quoting from last weeks press release, the intent of the Act was for Taxpayers (notice one word and not tax payers two words),

"I want taxpayers to keep all of their paychecks, and pay for government each month with their mortgage and other bills. Then Americans will see just how much of their income goes to taxes, and hopefully they will demand true tax reform."

So it is possible that the real agenda behind the Act proposed by Ron Paul is solely to provide a wake up call for sleeping Taxpayers. In other words, those citizens who are unaware of the real cost involved with participating in wealth redistribution and entitlement schemes promulgated by their elected officials. The Act as we have shown will not directly upset the status quo of the establishment who count on continued voluntary compliance of the people. We and Ron Paul know the attitude of these social engineers is… heck, who cares how they pay for it - as long as they pay. However it certainly is an interesting idea to subtly reach the populace this way, but there is still danger.

Now Comes the Past Evidence of Understanding.

A letter written in 1998 to Congressman Ron Paul challenged him to "expose this massive fraud and extortion" by challenging Rosotti and the Department of Justice on the existence of the law for the payment of the income tax. [Author's note: The gentleman who wrote the letter, while well intentioned called the income tax voluntary. You will learn in our Tax Freedom 101 course that the income tax is actually mandatory, but very limited in its application and that it does not apply to citizens living and working within the U.S. as defined, but rather it applies to foreigners who are not afforded the protection of our Constitution.] The gentleman then challenges Ron Paul to expose this fact on the floor of Congress thereby awakening many more to the truth.

Ron Paul responds to the gentleman in a letter where he states:

"You are right about the code but wrong to assume Washington responds to logic of the rule of law. They don't. They only believe in the rule of man. Our fight won't be won without first the American people rejecting the "merits" of government intervention."

Did you hear that? "The fight won't be won without first the American people rejecting the "merits" of government intervention." Oh how true, and the reason for our harsh and oddly placed social commentary above. Be assured that rejecting the "merits" of government intervention will not be accomplished by civil disobedience, i.e rejecting the law. No, rather by following the current written law and then choosing to exit the voluntary Babylonian system via the front door.

So has Ron Paul's attitude and agenda changed? We don't believe so. His Act is intended to work the Taxpayers resolve, however it could back fire with possible tax reform as we have explained earlier. That is why it is more important than ever for us to work diligently in reaching the public. The new titanium chains of slavery from proposed tax reform will be forged out of the ignorant and complacent years of voluntary compliance. These new shackles of taxation will be slipped upon all our wrists, some while asleep, and for some while wide-awake. That is unless those who are awake now diligently share the truth behind the income tax.

NEWS:
* The Henry Bowman Brigade - By Henry Bowman
In response to an increasing number of requests for information about the Brigade, I offer the following. Only a little reading between the lines will be necessary.

The Henry Bowman Brigade takes its name from the lead character in the novel Unintended Consequences by John Ross. If you have not as yet read this magnum opus, do so at the earliest opportunity. Don't borrow the book from a friend; buy your own copy. Not only will you want to own it after you've finished reading it for the first time, but authors of Mr. Ross' caliber (pun intended) need to be supported in every way possible. I should add that the concept for the Brigade is mine alone. John Ross is not in any way connected with it, although his involvement would certainly be welcome at any time.

The Mission Statement is my own creation also. I personally believe that there is nothing in it that Henry might not have written himself. In fact, it is because I feel such a personal affinity for this character that I have taken his name for my 'nom de plume'.

As I have indicated in previous writings for various web pages, there are no requirements for membership other than sharing a common set of values as indicated in the Mission Statement. Wallet I.D. cards, shoulder patches, window decals, etc. are specifically to be avoided. If anyone approaches you with any of these items for sale, you should go to condition yellow.

As I conceive the Brigade, its greatest strength lies in its anonymity, in the same way that a few people carrying concealed makes everybody safer, because the "bad guys" don't know exactly WHO is carrying. If you find that you're in tune with the values of the Brigade, simply start signing your submitted materials to any and all publishers with the honorific "Member, the Henry Bowman Brigade". Let the anti-gun wackos go nuts trying to track down our little bit of smoke on the wind! [Example]

The ultimate purpose of the Brigade is to serve as a "fifth column", only this time on the side of the land being occupied, . . . our land. As I've recently stated in a short note to another Brigade member, the forces of evil will never be able to know for certain who stands against them when the SHTF. But they WILL know that anyone who appears to be a hard-working, tax-paying, country-loving, flag-saluting citizen MIGHT be a member of the Brigade. This should give them cause to reflect; as Dr. Samuel Johnson once remarked, "the prospect of one's imminent demise focuses the mind wonderfully."

To repeat, the strength of this group lies in its lack of structure. There is no chain of command, no management tree. When your house is on fire, you don't need someone from a higher place in an artificial pecking order to tell you to get the hell out of the building!

* IRS Hired Fake Shrink to Discredit Whistleblowers
Millions of dollars were bilked from American Taxpayers in one of the final official acts of corruption by Senator Lloyd Bentsen, Congressman J.J. "Jake" Pickle, IRS Regional Commissioner Richard Voskuil and Austin IRS Service Center Director Charles Peoples. These IRS Executives and elected Congressional IRS Oversight Officials were responsible for hiring and paying a fake psychological counselor who has no clinical training whatever and no clinical or medical degree of any type. Fake Psychologist Collier Sublett, President of the Employee Assistance Center of Texas, provided phony counseling services for more than a thousand IRS employees with his bogus IRS Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for five years before he was arrested and charged in a five-count felony indictment for fraud.

INFORMATION:
I Got Turned Down for a Bank Account Because I Wasn't Wearing Socks!
Being a nice warm sunny day, I sometimes don't feel like wearing socks with my sneakers. Today I also decided it was the day I'm going to open a checking account without the use of a Socialist Security Number.

A couple of months ago I did some research and I e-mailed a bunch of banks inquiring about opening an account with no ssn. Of course all of them said it was their policy to require a ssn or Tax ID number before opening any kind of account. As it turns out, this policy is also in violation of the law. Just for the sake of argument, I decided to try a bank that I had not e-mailed before. Millbury Savings Bank, Millbury, Massachusetts.

I arrived at the bank with an associate of mine, to serve as a witness. We walked into the bank and we were asked if we needed help. I informed them that I would like to open a checking account. She instructed us to have seat and she would send somebody over. After a couple of minutes we were met by Barbara. We sat down and I explained that I would like to open a checking account. I had a couple of questions that are irrelevant here and we proceeded to open the account.

The very first question she asked was for a Social Security Number. I politely informed her that she didn't need it. She said, "But you have to have a Social Security Number in order to open an account." I then told her that according to the law she may ask for it but there is no requirement that they obtain one. I then produced the "Notice to Financial Institutions". She took a look at it and brought it to somebody else. This somebody else poked her head over the partition and informed me that it was bank policy to require a SSN. I then pointed out that their policy was also in violation of the law. She then said that we don't have to open an account for anybody. I told her that she certainly has the right to do business with whomever they choose. However, you cannot turn me down because of my refusal to disclose my SSN. She decided to go and get the bank president. Keep in mind, I have been very calm and polite through the whole thing.

The bank president, Bill Walsh then came over holding the Notice I had given to Barbara and started talking to my associate.

I calmly said, "Sir, I'm the one that is trying to open an account."

He turned to me and said, "No Social, No Account."

I pointed out the law. He said, "I can refuse to do business for whatever reason I want."

I agreed with him, "Yes, you certainly can refuse to do business with me or anyone else for whatever reason. But, you will have to come up with a different reason than no social security number."

He gave me no time to explain. He obviously didn't want to hear it. He interrupted me and said, "Then pick a reason. Now take your forms and get out."

I apologized to Barbara. I let her know that I didn't come in here to cause any trouble. I simply wanted to open an account.

We then calmly walked out of the bank and sat in the car. I came to the conclusion that since he could not refuse me because of the socialist security issue then it had to be something else. I decided that Millbury Savings Bank wouldn't do business with me because I wasn't wearing socks.

So, if you want to do business with Millbury Savings Bank, make sure you have your socks on.

We then went down the road to Millbury Credit Union. We sat down with Franca Millette. She explained that in order to open a checking account I have to also have a savings account. I told her that was not a problem. She asked for my license. I produced it for her. My license does not have my social security number on it. Then she asked for my SSN. I told her none. Of course the usual dialog continued and I showed her the infamous "Notice". She said she had never heard of such a thing and they always get a SSN. I told her, "This is the law that covers the financial industry and SSNs. This is Federal Law. This is a Federal Credit Union isn't it?"

She said, "Yes it is a Federal Credit Union. I'll have to check this out with the manager. I've never heard of such a thing before"

She excused herself and stepped into another office. It was several minutes before she came back. She informed me that they will have to check on this and get back to me. They needed to call their lawyers etc. I told her that I completely understand and I would be happy to stop by tomorrow. I gave her my business card and she said she will call me tomorrow. I'm looking forward to opening my account tomorrow.

I haven't decided if I should report Bill Walsh to the Attorney General. What do you think?

Tax Freedom 101 Footnote: This story illustrates the difficulty citizens have in obtaining the basic right of access to US based financial institutions when they have no ssn. It exemplifies the fact that we must assert our rights or else we will be consigned to handing them over some day. This is just the beginning of the excellent adventures of Jeff and associate and their quest for the holy grail of privacy when it comes to opening a bank account without an SSN. You can visit www.nossn.com to read of the ongoing saga and documented exchange between Jeff, associate, and the policy pawns at their local banks.
