What is needed to save America?

Mr. Dwight Kehoe, Tea Party Advocates

Dwight,

I appreciate your prompt response to my message from last night. I understand and share your concern about the present system. What we have now, just in the area of the income tax, is an outrage.

However, the way we got here required everybody involved to look the other way when the Constitution was violated one hundred years ago with respect to taxes and monetary authority, including the creation of the unconstitutional Federal Reserve System.

I am sure you are aware of the book “The Creature from Jekyll Island” by G. Edward Griffin which describes this ugly conspiracy. It is difficult to deny that this appears to have been a deliberate plan to subvert constitutional government and to create a “progressive” monster that now bears little resemblance to the kind of government envisioned by the Founders.

The keys to making this happen were the installation of a progressive income tax, and gaining control of the monetary system to create a fiat currency. This was all part of the Communist agenda from its earliest days. Once this was accomplished, it opened the door to other egregious departures from the constraints of the Constitution, until the left has now rendered the Constitution of little or no effect on restraining the expansion of government and the destruction of our fiscal/monetary system.

The Constitution was designed, as you know, for a small federal government of limited scope, with the primary power of government residing in the states. This concept has been turned on its head. The federal government ran surpluses until the adoption of the income tax. Now the federal government is an out-of-control monster that runs rough-shod over the rights of the states and the people, with fiscal deficits never before seen in the history of the world.  Getting rid of the income tax and forcing the nation to come to grips with the true source of our problems is key to reigning in this monster.

I submit that the only way to get this country back on track is to focus on restoration of constitutional government, starting with four urgent issues:

1. restoration of a constitutional presidency, as to both presidential eligibility and the executive powers of the presidency (this must be done to stop the bleeding – every day this criminal remains in the White House the mess he has created gets worse);

2. restoration of constitutional fiscal and monetary systems; (This should include thorough judicial review of the status of the purported Fourteenth, Sixteenth and Seventeenth Amendments, all of which were indisputably never legally ratified, although the income tax can be virtually nullified by simply complying with the Brushaber decision of the Supreme Court and exposing the hoax being perpetrated by the IRS to convince Americans that a tax liability exists when such is not the case. This will inevitably expose the illegitimacy of the IRS itself. )

3. restoration of a constitutional governmental structure which respects the limitations imposed on federal government activities by the Constitution, as well as the necessity for the incorporation in our system of the great spiritual truths revealed to mankind by our Creator. The unconstitutional activities now being conducted by the federal government must be identified, and plans developed to eliminate over time those that do not conform to the Constitution. (This is a daunting task, but one which cannot be avoided if our system is to survive. We already know that Social Security/SSI, Medicare, Medicaid and many other government income transfer programs are unsustainable, not in the long term but in the short term. These programs are bankrupting the nation. Moreover, virtually unrestricted immigration as currently advocated by false conservatives Rubio and McCain will dangerously accelerate the underlying unsoundness of these programs.)

4. creating a mechanism for establishing how the crisis we are now witnessing happened in the first place, who did it, and why they did it. We must hold those individuals and organizations behind the subversion of our constitutional republic accountable for their acts – acts which cannot be seen as anything other than treason.

Dwight – I do not believe that I am overstating the case when I assert that failure to carry out this plan (or one similar to it) will result inevitably in the failure of our system. It is simply not possible for our constitutional republic to survive if we remain on our current course.

I know from my experience as an airline captain that there are circumstances under which I must alter course and begin preparations for an emergency landing. If I were to attempt to continue on to my original destination, I would be guilty of dereliction of duty and could ultimately become responsible for significant loss of life. I believe that this a fair analogy to the situation of our nation today. We must take emergency measures to avoid disaster and terrible suffering for the people of our nation. For if our system fails, something ugly and brutal will surely move in to fill the vacuum. This is the unavoidable truth taught by the history of mankind.

What I find curious is that while we are hearing, just in the last few days, more and more discussion about the need to eliminate or reform the income tax and to shut down the IRS, nobody I have heard (including Mark Levin, Roger Hedgecock, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and many others) brings the Constitution into the discussion.

The Constitution is quite explicit and definitive about the authority of the government to impose taxes on the people, yet nobody talks about the Constitution!

It appears that one reason for this is that these commentators believe that the Sixteenth Amendment removed virtually all limitations on the powers of Congress to impose taxes on the people. This is absolutely not the case, as the Supreme Court stated emphatically in the Brushaber and Stanton cases described previously. Of course, Congress and the IRS have carefully avoided mention of the Brushaber case, or even dismissed it as so old as to be irrelevant. But it sits there like an unexploded bomb, stating exactly what the IRS does not want us to know – that there is no law requiring filing of income tax returns, and no law requiring most Americans to pay an income tax.

Yet the IRS has managed to convince us, by means of carefully designed deception and obfuscation, that we have income tax liabilities when the opposite is the case. This itself is one of the greatest hoaxes ever perpetrated against the people of any nation in the history of the world. Yet most Americans, laboring under an increasingly hostile, brutal, and tyrannical IRS, are completely unaware of this truth.

This is what TPATH could be exposing. This would be the greatest service to our nation that you could undertake in this time of growing crisis, a crisis which our corrupt elected representatives and members of the judiciary have proven to be incapable of addressing.

My first recommendation would be to get every one of your readers to purchase and read “Cracking the Code” by Peter Hendrickson. Just reading this small but shocking book will make them so angry that they will be ready to take the actions needed to start the healing process for our nation.

I will send along some more information.

Sincerely,

Hi Dave,

I had not considered that prospect.

I'll look into it and re-evaluate and get back to you.

However, the flat tax is  a vehicle I used to get away from the mess we have now.

Fair, flat or anything would be far superior to 78,000 pages of whatever it is we have now.

Thanks Dave, as always your input is very much appreciated.

 Dwight,

 The recommendations in the commentary you sent out on May 31 (see below) are excellent except for one – a flat tax is an unapportioned direct tax in violation of Article I Section 9 of the Constitution.

 Notwithstanding the fraudulent ratification of the Sixteenth Amendment (see below), the Supreme Court ruled in the case Brushaber v. Union Pacific R.R. Co. that the income tax is an indirect tax and thus of very limited applicability. Accordingly the income tax as we know it and as enforced by the IRS as an unapportioned direct tax is a fraud and a hoax.

 Just how they have managed to pull this off is the subject of an eye-opening little book titled “Cracking the Code” by Peter Hendrickson, available at www.losthorizons.com. This information has also been widely disseminated by, among others, constitutional writer Devvy Kidd (www.devvy.com) , the late tax attorney Tommy Cryer (www.truth-attack.com) and former IRS-CID Special Agent Joe Banister, who has posted many videos on YouTube.

 A so-called “Fair Tax” would probably qualify as a constitutional indirect tax subject to the requirement of uniformity in accordance with Article I Section 8.

 Here is a quote from the earlier Supreme Court case ruling the income tax unconstitutional – this ruling has never been overridden or nullified. Rather it has been affirmed in the Brushaber and Stanton cases following the purported adoption of the Sixteenth Amendment (see below):

 The two great subdivisions embracing the complete and perfect delegation of the power to tax and the two correlated limitations as to such power were thus aptly stated by Mr. Chief Justice Fuller in Pollock v. Farmers' Loan & Trust Co., supra, at 157 U. S. 557:

"In the matter of taxation, the Constitution recognizes the two great classes of direct and indirect taxes, and lays down two rules by which their imposition must be governed, namely, the rule of apportionment as to direct taxes, and the rule of uniformity as to duties, imposts, and excises."…

 Note that the Constitution has never been amended to change these fundamental tax provisions. The Court explains in Brushaber that if this were the intent of the Sixteenth Amendment, it would place that amendment in irreconcilable conflict with the rules of taxation laid down by the Founders and remaining in effect in Article I of the original document, and could not have been done without explicitly stating such. Furthermore, the legislative history of the Sixteenth Amendment shows clearly that this was not the intent of the supporters of the amendment. (This information is available on the internet.)

May 31, 2013 TPATH- As the gun control debate raged across this country, several weeks ago TPATH proposed legislation that, in a sense, acquiesced to the growing need for a National Registry for the purpose of firearms purchases.

The format for the Registry we proposed would have made it illegal for the government to track, save or in any way record the names of persons who were buying or selling ammunition or firearms unless that person was found to be a felon.

In short, the National Registry would only hold the names of persons who had been convicted of a felony or those who had been adjudicated as mentally unstable.  It seemed, at the time, that this type of database might help to keep at least some firearms out of the hands of those who should not possess them, while not infringing on America's fundamental rights under the 2nd Amendment.

And, in a perfect world, one where the rule of law could be counted on, one where elected and appointed officials would be honest, accountable and respectful of the law abiding citizens they were supposed to be serving, a criminal registry would be acceptable and as the leftists like to say, common sense.

But, after these past few weeks, one outrageous assault after another, on our privacy, on our rights and our ability to function in society without the fear of government tyranny, has awakened many of us to the reality of a world.  Governments  are not perfect nor trustworthy, and they will always be corrupted by greed for power and control over the masses.

So, what are you afraid of?    Your government would never revert to the methods and incivility of the past?  Really?  This is the dangerous rhetoric we have heard from those in the middle, the left and even the moderate right, who have been so naively inclined to go along with new intrusive laws and  illegal regulations, in the name of common sense.

It appears now, even the most ardent supporter of Obama and his henchmen might very well see just
what it is, we who have studied and remember history, are afraid of.  As we watched, over and over again during these past few weeks, the arrogance and the elitism of highly placed government officials, lying, obfuscating and misleading the country, the stark reality, not just for conservatives, but for every citizen, should have struck home like the proverbial ton of bricks.  That no government, left or right can ever be trusted.  Ever.

There is no need to go into the many outrageous crimes against the American people, being perpetrated by this administration, but suffice it to say, above all, it is time to not only stop the growth of this government, but to begin drastically cutting it back.

The IRS, unquestionably the most powerful government agency, employing the most contemptuous personality types, which is at the center of this latest criminal activity, is now poised to begin enforcing Obamacare.  If that does not scare the hospital gowns right off your sun starved posterior, its hard to imagine what could. 

As the government gathers more and more information on the citizens, whether it be about gun ownership, religious beliefs or patriotism, how would you like to know the same people who refused to allow  Tea Party and other groups to legally function, who harassed and investigated conservative donors, are soon to be the entity that has your life and death on medical issues, under its control?

And for those who may not care, because you ideologically agree with Obama and your ox, at the moment is not the one being gored, just wait.  At some time, your ox will be dragged from the pasture for its goring.  As the power of government grows unabated and you suddenly realize the warmth you felt when others were being gouged, is now the warmth of your own life's blood oozing over your brow, you may not even have the luxury of speaking out about what you should have done.


As long as we are speaking about the fantasy of Democrat voters waking up, we may as well tackle a few other fantasies that our Congress and state lawmakers could do. That is, if they had a backbone.

• No Federal registry of any kind.  The government can not be trusted not to track law abiding citizens.
• Congress should defund Obamacare entirely and immediatley.  They do not need the Senate or the    President to do this.
• Congress should defund the IRS entirely. This would in effect void the 70,000 pages of the tax code.
• Congress should sponsor an emergency flat tax bill with no deductions except first home mortgages and charities.
• Congress should defund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
• Congress should sponsor an emergency bill that would authorize the County Sheriffs to handle America's border and airport security.
• Congress should defund all of Obama's upcoming golf outings and vacations for Michelle, until he agrees to tell America, where he was and what he was doing while our heroes in Benghazi were in a battle for their lives, who gave the stand down order that prevented military action that could have saved their lives, and release the audio and transcript of his conversation with Hillary which occurred hours before the last blood drained from those Americans defending the mission.

For certain, this is just a bunch of never can and never will happen pipe dreams.  But sometimes its good to dream. 

Okay, enough dreaming.  Let's get to the polls on Tuesday and vote out all those idol moderates and replace them with Constitutional patriots.
