Former IRS Special Agent Reflects On Shared Birthday With Income Tax

Former IRS Special Agent Reflects On Shared Birthday With Income Tax

                          

Joseph Ronald Banister is a former special agent of the Criminal Investigation Division of the Internal Revenue Service and IRS whistleblower. Banister resigned from the IRS and later appeared on the television program Sixty Minutes II challenging the conduct of the IRS concerning legal issues with taxation. Banister's books and other material challenge the legality of some aspects of the income tax.

“If the federal government can deceive out of you and/or steal from you a penny or a dollar, they can deceive or steal all of your property. “

Dear Friends,
Although not widely publicized in the past, I learned during the early phase of my investigation into the federal income tax system that I have the dubious "honor" of sharing the same birth date as our contemporary federal income tax system.
February 25^th has been a pivotal date not only in my own life but in the lives of every single American that has lived since the dawn of the 20^th century.  Let us take a closer look, in chronological order, at what that date has meant to me during my lifetime as well as the founding and ongoing cover-up of the horrible injustice that is the federal income tax system in America.
On February 25^th, 1913, U.S. Secretary of State Philander Knox issued his formal certification enabling the 16^th Amendment to become officially and formally part of the U.S. Constitution. Fifty years later, to the day, on February 25^th, 1963, I was born in San Jose, California.  Eighty-six years later, to the day, February 25^th, 1999, after having served approximately five and one-half years as an Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division Special Agent, I resigned from the IRS after having confronted my IRS supervisors with evidence that the federal income tax was being administered and enforced beyond what the law and Constitution authorized.  One hundred years later, to the day, February 25^th, 2013, I give thanks to God that I can celebrate my fiftieth birthday but I must also painfully acknowledge the 100-year "birthday" of the nightmarish federal income tax apparatus that continues to haunt the American people.
My intention in writing to you to today is not to provide a definitive exegesis addressing all of the ills of the federal income tax system. 
I will not at this time be addressing the fraudulent ratification of the 16^th amendment nor will I be addressing the lies that the Internal Revenue Service has told the American public about the constitutional definition of the term "income" nor the suspicious refusals to dialogue with me when opportunities came about nor the fact that the IRS's own internal structure provides further proof that the agency has been lying to the American people for decades about their federal income tax obligations nor the minefield prepared for Americans who question the boundaries of IRS authority and/or IRS tactics. 
No, listing and describing the horrible ramifications of the system "born" on this day 100 years ago could fill many volumes and is way beyond the scope of this brief birthday message to my friends.
I can only write to encourage you to verify the facts for yourself and then disseminate those facts to your fellow Americans as widely and rapidly as possible.  I believe the facts will lead you to conclude, as I have concluded, that federal government legislators and bureaucrats lied to the American people in order to usher in the 16^th (income tax) Amendment in the first place. 
I believe the facts will lead you to further conclude, as I have concluded, that legislators and bureaucrats throughout the past 100 years, along with a willing and complicit "mainstream" media, have continued to perpetrate numerous other deceits and fraudulent machinations to fool unsuspecting Americans into believing the level of authority the IRS exercises is the level of authority granted to it by the Constitution and the law.  In short, the IRS takes advantage of the American public's trust and limited knowledge about income taxation restrictions in order to protect various lies and deceits that are now as much as 100 years old.
If the federal government can deceive out of you and/or steal from you a penny or a dollar, they can deceive or steal all of your property.  And if the federal government and complicit state governments can steal from or unjustly accuse any of your fellow Americans, they will eventually get around to stealing from or unjustly accusing you.
I hope you will dedicate yourself to work for honesty in taxation, especially income taxation, and help me diminish and one day stop IRS persecutions that have been visited upon our fellow Americans.  I have dedicated myself to doing so.  I am not even asking (and actually would discourage) you to battle with the IRS one on one.  You can simply spread the word quietly and politely, but fervently, to your fellow Americans and encourage them to see how we all have been lied to for now these 100 years.
I offer my sincerest gratitude to all who have prayed for me and supported me in other ways these past 14 years (from my February 25^th, 1999 IRS resignation date through today). 
Thank you.  Thank you.  Thank you. 
Although quite a bit more white hairs are found on my head these days, I will do my best to continue "fighting government bullies" as I have done since 1999.
Warmest Regards,
Joe Banister

-For those who have received this message as a forward from someone else, you can sign up to receive these messages directly here.

-I will continue to send a free Attorney Larry Becraft Research CD to any donor who donates at least $20 to me for my radio show effort - just make sure you mention that you want the CD gift.  Don't forget that Attorney Becraft (and some unsung heroes) created an incredible researching tool all in one CD-ROM.  He has compiled the most comprehensive, easy to access history of the federal income tax laws I have ever laid my eyes on. 

The CD-ROM includes more recent information such as a report from a 1975 investigation of the IRS, Title 26 of the Code of Federal Regulations from 1999, the entire Internal Revenue Code from January, 2002, Statutes At Large 111 through 121 (105th Congress through 110th Congress - roughly 1997 through 2007) and earlier information such as the Revenue Acts of 1919, 1921, 1924, 1926, 1928, 1932, 1934, 1936, 1938, tax regulations from some of the aforementioned years, a mind-blowing 31 page "secret" memorandum written in 1945 later declassified regarding the history of the "Bureau of Internal Revenue" (which is the earlier name of the agency we know today as the "IRS"), the entire 1939 Internal Revenue Code, the entire 1954 Internal Revenue Code (prepared by the Joint Committee on Taxation in 1992). 

Many of these documents were created in word-searchable format so you can search for any specific word you can think of.  It would take hundreds of hours to create such a resource from scratch and Larry's hard work has saved us from doing so.  As Larry told my listeners the last time he was on the show, it is critical for Americans to learn more about what the tax laws actually say - what the tax laws said in 1913 when the contemporary income tax came into being and what the tax laws have said ever since then, all the way up to the present day. 

Donations by check or money order are gratefully accepted and can be made payable to "Joseph Banister" and mailed to me at 1805 N. Carson Street, Carson City, Nevada 89701.  Keep in mind that money orders (with an anonymous payor) or cash may provide a greater degree of privacy to the donor than checks.  Also, consider using 1805 N. Carson Street, Carson City, Nevada 89701 as the return address on your envelope rather than your own address because any information on the outside of a mailed envelope is susceptible to observation/transcription by government agencies.  See http://www.answers.com/topic/mail-cover for more information.  Use your own discretion based on the degree of privacy you desire.  Attorney Becraft appeared on the Freedom Above Fortune Radio Show on September 18, 2010 and spent the entire two hour program discussing and explaining the contents of the CD - an archive of this show is saved at http://hearliberty.com/joebanister.html on the left hand side of the page under the "Saturday, September 18, 2010" heading.

-Prayers in support of this effort are always welcomed and encouraged.  May we all focus on giving glory to God and obeying His Commandments, especially the Commandment not to take His Name in vain.  Let us shower God with our devotion so that He will more abundantly shower our nation with blessings.

-Contributions to my legal defense fund are also welcomed due to the significant costs of defending against multiple and continuing government attacks.  I also spend a significant amount of my personal time fighting this battle and speaking out.  Your contributions help me keep the fight alive.  Checks or money orders are gratefully accepted and can be made payable to "Joseph Banister" to assist me with legal expenses and can be mailed to 1805 N. Carson Street, Carson City, Nevada 89701. Money orders or cash may provide a greater degree of privacy to the donor than checks so use your own discretion based on the degree of privacy you desire.

-Visithttp://www.ninehundred.net/banister for more information as to how you can obtain information about my recent trial and contribute to my legal defense fund at the same time as well as a biography with exhibits (scroll down the page).

-My sincere thanks to those who have prayed for the success of our efforts and/or contributed to my legal defense fund. Your continued support is enabling me to illustrate, in detail and in a very public manner, that the IRS does not prevail against citizens because the agency adheres to the rule of law, but that the IRS prevails against citizens because the agency ignores the law, twists the meaning of the law, and overwhelms the citizen with economic and legal burdens. In a school yard, such tactics are called "Bullying". In a government setting, such tactics are called "Tyranny".

This effort is the equivalent of ganging up on the bully and sending him to reform school where he belongs.

II Chronicles 7:14:

Exodus 20:7:

Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain: for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that shall take the name of the Lord his God in vain.

Matthew 5:27-28:

You have heard that it was said to them of old: "Thou shalt not commit adultery".  But I say to you that whosoever shall look on a woman to lust after her hath already committed adultery with her in his heart.

I am the living bread which came down from heaven.  If any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever; and the bread that I will give, is my flesh, for the life of the world.

George Orwell, 1984:

"You are a slow learner, Winston," said O'Brien gently.

"How can I help it?" he blubbered. "How can I help seeing what is in front of my eyes? Two and two are four."

"Sometimes, Winston. Sometimes they are five. Sometimes they are three.

Sometimes they are all of them at once. You must try harder. It is not easy to become sane."
