Collapsing the Fraud -- April 15th is a National Holiday


By Anna Von Reitz


Collapsing the Fraud -- April 15th is a National Holiday
If someone stole your identity, would you have any trouble reporting it to the bank and whoever else was impacted by the swindle? Would it take more than a nanosecond for you to object to paying someone else's bills? Accepting the blame for someone else's crimes? 
 
Well, come on, now, that is what has happened here. 
 
The criminals in Congress swindled your grandparents and parents, stole our national identity, grabbed our credit cards, set up millions of phony escrow ACCOUNTS benefiting themselves and have spent their ill-gotten gains and time in the District of Columbia cobbling up another gigantic swindle they are attempting to unleash on you and your kids right now.
It's time to wake up and pull the plug on this. 
 
How? 
 
For starters, if you aren't a federal civilian or military employee, an elected officer of a federal corporation, a voluntary franchise operator of a federal corporation, an African American, a federal welfare recipient, or a federal political asylum seeker--- if you are Joe Average American working in the private sector, a farmer, an unincorporated business owner, etc.,---you can revoke your election to pay Federal Income Taxes. 
 
April 15 can be a holiday. Imagine that?
That's what it has been for me, since 1998. I have a party. We drink cheap champagne. We recite bad poetry. We hurl Shakespearian insults--- "Thou burly, flap-jowled, goatish, howling miscreant! How darest Thou imply a bottomery debt!"
Get started. There is no time like now.
You write an old-fashioned letter to the Commissioners of the IRS and the Internal Revenue Service and you simply tell them that you are eligible for exemption and are revoking your election to pay Federal Income Taxes. Please adjust your records accordingly and honor my exemption.
Send the revocation letter via US Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested. 
Keep a copy of the letters and the mailing receipts. That's it.  
If anyone from the IRS or Internal Revenue Service asks about your tax status or sends you anything in the mail insinuating that you owe them money or have to file any reports, send copies of your copies of the revocation letter and mailing receipts. Certifiy that the copies are true, complete, and correct, sign and date. Stuff it in the mail, U.S. Certified, Return Receipt Requested---- and down their tubes.
If anyone calls you "Mr." or "Mrs." or "Miss" from now on, inform them that you are not a Warrant Officer in the Merchant Marines (that is, a Withholding Agent) and you will happily object if anyone presumes that you are.
You may have to give your employer a written and notarized Waiver absolving them of any responsibility to withhold federal taxes from your paycheck. You might have to fill out a W8 BEN for that purpose. 
 
My point is that millions upon millions of innocent Americans can avoid paying a third or more of their earnings (which are private property, not corporate income) as a "gift and estate tax" that they don't owe, in support of an organization that has practiced fraud, usurpation, kidnapping, press-ganging, theft, inland piracy, copyright and trademark infringement and conspiracy to murder against them. 
 
Send those letters effective with October 1, 2015 (or on that date up to ten years prior) and keep your credit at home where it belongs. 
 
Then, kick back. Inform your friendly local banker that you have retired from all federal service and your PERSONAL bank account is in fact a private bank account and all funds deposited in or transferred from that account are private funds that must be denominated as lawful money. Send that U.S. Certified Return Receipt Requested, too. Every time they try to foist off some new agreement, resend the same information. 
 
This keeps them and the IRS from presuming that the digits in your account are Federal Reserve Notes and that in turn prevents them from confiscating your money, issuing bogus liens against it, and otherwise seeking to defraud you.
Once your revoke your "election" to pay, you can never file federal income taxes again. By law. So nobody, including Junior Woodchuck IRS Agents, can accuse you of having any such obligation or of failing to file or any of that clap-trap again.
It's a lovely feeling to know the truth and know who you are and how to stuff corks in the mouths of those who have been extorting money out of you. 
 
It's downright glorious to tell an IRS Agent, "Who gave you permission to even speak to me?"
Ah, yes, sweet freedom. 
 
It's what our people have fought and died for, for generations. It's what you deserve and what you have been denied.
So, why wait another ten seconds?
Join me. On April 15th this year, take off your manacles and chains. Stretch your bent back. Take a deep, deep breath.... and begin a whole new and different relationship with the IRS. 
 
From now on, they don't collect from you. They collect for you.

Go forth, America, and conquer.

University Students Threaten To Cut Off Penises To Protest Trump’s Wall

Students at liberal universities are threatening to cut off their penises if Trump presses ahead with plans to erect the border wall.
Two students at the University of California have “threatened” to “cut off” their penises if President Trump presses ahead with plans to erect the US-Mexico border wall.

The bizarre, self-defeating protest seems to be catching on, as four students at the University of Washington have also threatened to remove their reproductive anatomy if Trump fulfills the campaign promise that got him democratically elected.

Washington Sophomore Trent Griliphaen said he was inspired by the movement at The University of California, and that he thinks that Trump’s construction of the wall is “just an extension of his penis, and an expression of patriarchal rape culture.”

“Really, by building the wall, we are raping the Mexican people, and I am no longer willing to be a perpetrator of rape culture. If I remove my penis, I am making a statement that I reject this mentality.”

Griliphaen was apparently the first student at UW to embrace this movement, and according to him, he has inspired three other male students to commit to emasculating themselves when construction of the new border wall commences.
“I heard about what was happening in California, and new that this kind of movement could gain traction up here – we are a progressive state,” Griliphaen said.

I kind of feel guilty, I’m removing my penis, but one of the other guys is going to castrate himself, and he’s even considering taking off a couple of fingers.”
I hereby nominate Trent Griliphaen and his liberal college comrades for the Darwin Award. By removing their reproductive organs, the human gene pool can only be improved.

“The Darwin Awards salute the improvement of the human genome by honoring those who accidentally remove themselves from it…”

In other news worthy of Darwin Award nominations, it has become fashionable on Twitter for liberals to pledge “not to have children” in order to protest President Trump. What a shame, huh – no liberal children being born for the foreseeable future.
Way to go, guys! Keep up the protest! On a long enough timeline, this means liberals will die out altogether.

No Democracy, Not Now, Not Ever

 
By Anna Von Reitz
 
"....Democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of Government. It can only exist until the voters discover they can vote themselves largess out of the public treasury. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that Democracy always collapses over a loose fiscal policy, always to be followed by a Dictatorship."

(Written by Professor Alexander Fraser Tytler, nearly two centuries ago while our thirteen original states were still colonies of Great Britain. At the time he was writing of the decline and fall of the Athenian Republic over two thousand years before.)

A friend recently sent me this quote and it is a timely reminder that I share with all of you.  I have read it many times over the years and the truth resonates across centuries and down to this current moment. 

Let me assure you that we, the actual people and states of America, are absolutely guaranteed a republican form of government and there are Americans standing in the gap, reclaiming the stolen identity and assets that belong to us and to our states. 

Let me also assure you that we are not and have never been a "democracy".  Democracy is mob rule.  It is 51% of your neighbors agreeing to eat you for dinner.  It is a failed and odious and even notorious system of government that our Forefathers avoided like the plague.

No, the "democracy" that the media and the Congress are always talking about is the Territorial United States ---- a vast commercial corporation with 57 bankrupt "State of States" franchises.  And true to form, this foreign, ugly democracy discovered a means to defraud the honest republics of America, and devised ways to raid and pillage the public purse until its entire structure is indeed on the verge of collapse and dictatorship. 

Well, if these yahoos require a dictator to straighten them out, we could all do a lot worse than Donald J. Trump.   

Remember that as disturbing as the unfolding events may be, this version of "United States" is not you, not your states, not your government.  This is an organization that is obligated under international treaty, trust and commercial contract to provide nineteen enumerated services to your state of the union, and it hasn't even managed to do a good job at that. 

This incorporated version of "United States" is the equivalent of a housekeeping or maintenance service that your states subscribed to, and it has proven to be a very untrustworthy and dishonest service, one that has pillaged the property entrusted to it, stolen the owner's credit cards, and attempted to disinherit the heirs.

The British Government, HRM, the Lord Mayor London, the Lords of the Admiralty, the Roman Pontiffs, and the members of the "United States Congress" for the last 150 years are responsible for this deplorable, criminally mismanaged, despotic, and out of control democracy on our shores, which has attempted to usurp upon and steal the identity of the actual United States and the republican united States of America.

Each one of our fifty (50) state republics have been reclaimed, new Sovereign Letters Patent have been issued, the Chain of Title in international jurisdiction has been secured, the private sovereign indemnity bonds and payment bonds have been posted, the Odious Debts have been repudiated, and the process of restoring our lawful government has begun with the organization of county-level jural assemblies in every state. 

We are well on our way to sorting out The Mess.

U.S. Navy instructor pilots are refusing to fly


Navy instructor pilots refusing to fly over safety concerns; Pence's son affected

By Lucas Tomlinson Published April 04, 2017 FoxNews.com

EXCLUSIVE: More than 100 U.S. Navy instructor pilots are refusing to fly in protest of what they say is the refusal of top brass to adequately address an urgent problem with training jets’ oxygen system, multiple instructor pilots tell Fox News.   
The boycott started late last week and has effectively grounded hundreds of training flights. 
“The pilots don’t feel safe flying this aircraft,” one instructor pilot told Fox News.   
Among the hundreds of student pilots affected is Marine 1st Lt. Michael Pence, son of Vice President Pence – a factor that could put added pressure on the Pentagon to resolve the dispute. 
Vice Adm. Mike Shoemaker, head of naval aviation, told Fox News in an exclusive interview that the training jet issue is the “number one safety priority” across naval aviation right now.
“Right now we don't have the smoking gun,” he cautioned.  
In the last five years, physiological episodes, caused in part by problems with the oxygen system, have nearly quadrupled on the T-45 training jet, according to Capitol Hill testimony last week by senior naval aviators.
The Navy is now looking at grounding the entire fleet of T-45s for the next few days, according to multiple pilots.
“There is no question that there are problems that are being covered up,” House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mac Thornberry, R-Texas, said. “I am very concerned about the issue. It’s been getting worse over time and if you look at the statistics, the older airplanes are having bigger problems than newer airplanes.”
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said in a statement that the Navy “must address these safety concerns swiftly and decisively.”
Fox News interviewed multiple Navy flight instructors who say incidents of oxygen poisoning in the 30-year old T-45 Goshawk have “skyrocketed.”
“Histotoxic hypoxia” is the medical term associated with the disorientating disorder which can put pilots’ lives at risk, as well as those of civilians on the ground below. Two instructor pilots say the training jets are now averaging three incidents a week, as the Navy struggles to get to the bottom of the contamination.
“It can happen without warning,” one pilot said. “The system doesn’t detect contaminants.”
A number of instructors cited recent episodes as reasons for the abrupt work stoppage.
Last week, a student from training squadron VT-86 in Pensacola, Fla., had to be “dragged out” of his jet because he became “incapacitated” from the faulty oxygen system, according to two flight instructors.
In March, a British exchange instructor pilot with thousands of hours in the cockpit had to conduct an emergency landing during a training flight near Meridian, Miss., after both he and his student experienced hypoxic symptoms. 
In August, a flight instructor and his student were forced to eject near Kingsville, Texas, when they felt symptoms of hypoxia, crashing the multi-million dollar jet.  Both pilots ejected safely and were not seriously injured. 
Last month, there were 10 episodes in T-45s, according to Shoemaker.
Anticipating the pilot protest, the Navy sent a team of engineers and other specialists this week to its T-45 training bases in Kingsville, Meridian and Pensacola for talks with the pilots.
A meeting Tuesday in Meridian “got heated,” Fox News is told.  The pilots told the civilians from Navy Air Systems Command their complaints about the oxygen system were being ignored. When a senior Navy pilot showed photos of a faulty oxygen system he claimed had been sent up to NAVAIR’s headquarters in Maryland, the engineers said they never received the photos.
Asked about the protest, Navy spokeswoman Cmdr. Jeannie Groeneveld acknowledged that 40 percent of instructor pilots refused to fly their training flights Friday. A flight instructor said the number was closer to 75 percent, because the Navy reduced the flight schedule knowing more than half the pilots would refuse to fly.
Shoemaker said following a meeting in Kingsville, flights there had resumed.  
Just last week, the vice president’s wife Karen Pence visited her son at Naval Air Station Meridian, where her son is in flight training. A source told Fox News she told the commodore in charge of flight training, “Take care of my son” – and a day later the senior Navy officer told a group of instructor pilots he feared he was unable to do that because of the danger posed by the faulty oxygen system. 
Across the Navy, training squadron skippers and commodores are telling their instructors to follow their instincts -- and not forcing them to fly -- much to the appreciation of those boycotting until they feel the issue is resolved, Fox News is told.
“There is not a, you know, ‘Fly or else,’” Shoemaker said.
Some instructor pilots point to Rear Adm. Dell D. Bull, chief of naval air training, as the culprit in ignoring the unsafe conditions.
“He is telling us to just, ‘shut up and color,’” one pilot said.   
Some instructor pilots have refused to go along with the boycott and continue flying, but remove the oxygen masks as soon as they take off.
“Most pilots think [Bull] is just dragging his feet and doesn’t want to look bad,” said one pilot, who like the others declined to be named because they were not authorized to speak to the press.
“It’s the admirals … the people that have the power to fix it that aren’t doing a damn thing,” one frustrated instructor pilot said.  
Bull is planning to speak to the instructor pilots in Meridian on Wednesday.  Shoemaker is preparing a video message to present to all instructors.
Two senior Navy officials interviewed by Fox News say the Navy is doing its best to tackle the problem.
“We have been working this for five, six years now to try to get to the bottom of this,” one official said. 
Both officials acknowledged “communication problems” between the upper echelon of the Navy and the instructors.
Six months ago, the Navy sent the T-45 and other jet squadrons Sorbent tubes to measure the air the pilots were breathing. After each flight, the tubes were sent to a lab in Maryland for analysis. After 1,500 flights worth of air samples, the results remain inconclusive.
“We haven’t come up with anything conclusive … showing a contaminant or something like that,” a senior official said.
The instructor pilots see it differently.  
“They sent our squadron six tubes,” one pilot said. “That’s part of the frustration.  They are doing the absolute minimum.”
The senior Navy officials say they understand the pilots’ frustration and will soon issue more advanced hydrocarbon sensors which can be analyzed on-site, speeding up the investigation.
The dangers with the oxygen system are not limited to the T-45 training jets either. U.S. Navy F/A-18 Hornets have been known to suffer similar problems.

‘Audit the Fed’ bill advances in the House

One  step  closer:  ‘Audit  the  Fed’  bill  advances  in  the  House

Brandon Morse
A long sought after action by Libertarians is one step closer to becoming a reality, as Rep. Thomas Massie’s (R-KY when ) Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2017 (H.R. 24) is one step closer to being passed by the House.

 The bill soared through The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform after it was passed by voice vote with just around 30 minutes of debate. 

 Libertarians and Republicans have been very supportive of such bills in the past, including the Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2012 – a creation of then Texas congressman Ron Paul – which was overwhelmingly passed in the House with a bipartisan vote.

 This time, however, the Democrats would have nothing to do with the bill, according to Market Watch.
“This bill would open the floodgates to political interference in monetary-policy making,” said Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, a Democrat from the District of Columbia.
Rep. Carolyn Maloney, a Democrat from New York, said the measure would lead to higher interest rates because it would undermine the market’s confidence in the independence of the central bank.
Massie responded to the Democrats criticism of the bill, saying “It is ironic that the arsonists that caused the financial collapse are now being given credit…for putting out the fire. Almost every macro-economist concedes in retrospect that [the Fed’s] extended period of easy money led to the financial crisis.”

 While Ron Paul’s 2012 bill stalled and died due to Democrat control of both the Senate and the White House, the 2017 bill has no such hurdles in front of it. In fact, Trump has expressed his support for auditing the fed when Kentucky Senator Rand Paul – son of Ron Paul – introduced companion legislation to Massie’s bill in the Senate in the form of S. 16 at the start of the year.

 Furthermore, if – and likely when – the bill comes to the Senate, Paul will likely have the support of Democrat Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, who has expressed support for the bill as well, and will likely attempt to sway a number of other Democrats to his side.

Republic restored?? Or NAZI STATE RISES?


Heavily  Armed  U.S.  Marshals  Are  Now  Evicting  Homeowners  In  This  City!  How  proud  these  American  Marshals  must  be  to  act  like  Nazis  and  to  treat   fellow  Americans  like  this  in  their own homeland


Is  THIS  now  what  Americans  are  to  be  subjected  to  when  they  have  lost  their  jobs or  Social Security  and  cannot  pay  their  rent  and  bills  in  the  'land  of  the     free  and  the  home  of  the  brave'??

Daniel Jennings
April 4, 2017

WASHINGTON — Heavily armed U.S. marshals, whose normal job is to hunt down dangerous fugitives, are being used to evict tenants in the nation’s capital.
 
SWAT-vest-wearing marshals sneaked into Donya Williams’ apartment with guns drawn to serve an eviction notice, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is alleging in a complaint.

Williams was reportedly naked and in the apartment with her 12-year-old daughter when the marshals entered and pointed guns at everyone, WJLA television reported.

The marshals were evicting Williams because she had not paid the rent on her Washington, D.C., apartment. “It happened all so quick,” 12-year-old Juanita Williams told the TV station.

Said Donya, “And I’m sitting there just shaking, just trembling and I’m saying, ‘Please just give me a minute to get dressed because I don’t have on anything.’”

The eviction took place in 2015 but the ACLU filed its complaint in February of this year.  “There is not even a plausible safety justification for that,” ACLU attorney Scott Michelman said. “It’s just humiliating and it’s wrong.”

Federal SWAT Team Used for Evictions?

Marshals wearing SWAT vests and sometimes carrying rifles routinely serve eviction notices in the nation’s capital, Reason’s Elizabeth Nolan Brown wrote. She witnessed a separate eviction in D.C. performed by marshals. Although Williams’ eviction involved an apartment, marshals also are used to evict homeowners.

The marshals are in charge of evictions in D.C. because they are in charge of carrying out orders of the Superior Court for the District of Columbia. The marshals’ duties include serving eviction notices.

Since the District of Columbia is not in a state, the federal government is responsible for law enforcement and other government services that would normally be provided by the state, county or city.

“This winds up weird for a number of reasons,” Brown wrote. “First, let’s consider the impact on evicted tenants. Being evicted is tough enough without the public embarrassment and intimidation of having it made into a spectacle complete with rifle-wearing U.S. marshals in SWAT vests and a baseball team’s worth of mandated movers. And the potential for escalation of hostilities, violence, and (should anything get out of hand) criminal penalties are always greater when you throw armed federal agents into the mix.

“Sure, some sort of security during evictions might be necessary, but in most cases it could probably be handled better by building security staff or community police than people primarily trained for things like federal-prisoner transport and apprehending fugitives.”

The law even requires the landlords to provide movers for the eviction.

Williams was refusing to pay her rent because of a dispute with her landlord at the time of the eviction.
“They have my record,” she told Barber. “I have [no criminal record] — not even a bad driving record.”

Williams has since moved to a new apartment but has filed a complaint against the marshals for violating her rights.
