<p> THIRD PARTY INTERFERENCE WITH A CONTRACT
|
|
[<ent type='PERSON'>Page</ent>s 89-130]</p>

|
|
|
|
<p>In a Contract <ent type='PERSON'>Law</ent> Judgment setting, questions sounding in the Tort of
|
|
unfairness regarding the interference of a person not a party to a contract in
|
|
causing a person who is a party to a contract not to honor his contract is
|
|
irrelevant, as I will explain later on; and so when cries of unfairness wallow
|
|
up at <ent type='EVENT'>the Judgment Day</ent>, as claims of unfairness will be heard in having had
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Lucifer</ent>'s low key assistants hacking away at us down here, those cries will
|
|
then be in vain, as the unfairness in Contract <ent type='PERSON'>Law</ent> of outside interference in
|
|
contract administration is irrelevant in measuring contract performance itself.
|
|
For example, the fact that an Employer terminated your livelihood, and you
|
|
subsequently experienced a cessation of money coming in, and so that now you
|
|
are unable to pay your apartment lease payments, is irrelevant in an Tenant
|
|
Eviction Proceeding. Either you have paid your rent as the Lease Contract calls
|
|
for, or you haven't. Even though the secondary effect of your livelihood being
|
|
terminated directly restrained you from honoring your Lease Contract due to a
|
|
lack of money, your Employer is not a party to that apartment Lease Contract,
|
|
so what your Employer did or did not do is not relevant in a leasehold Eviction
|
|
Proceeding. That is Contract <ent type='PERSON'>Law</ent> Jurisprudence; its cold, mean, and it isn't
|
|
really very "fair" -- so now addressing that face on, we should start to
|
|
negotiate our personal business contracts on terms we can live with, rather
|
|
than snicker at Judges when we are in default later on. Remember the reason why
|
|
"fairness" is not relevant in a contract grievance: Because if judges allowed
|
|
"fairness," so called, to enter into one side of the grievance and benefit one
|
|
party, the effect of the entrance of such "fairness" into the evidentiary
|
|
setting presented to the Judge for a ruling, will always work a Tort on the
|
|
other party. What is the correct solution? Ignore all claims for "fairness" and
|
|
just enforce the contract. Cold, brutal, mean, harsh? Yes... but proper. Rather
|
|
than snicker at Judges at that late date well after you are in default, you
|
|
might want to address the origin of your problem: You entered into a contract
|
|
you could not handle under a worst case scenario (worst case meaning loss of
|
|
livelihood).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>And those are the kinds of very narrow and precise lines that we need to think
|
|
in, in understanding Contract <ent type='PERSON'>Law</ent>. You may very well have legitimate mitigating
|
|
circumstances to justify why you could not honor a contract -- but is an
|
|
ELECTION OF REMEDIES for the <ent type='ORG'>Party</ent> that you are in default to, to decide what
|
|
he intends to do with you, and it is not anything for an enforcement judge to
|
|
take notice of.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>But contrary to the SUB ROSA silence of <ent type='PERSON'>Lucifer</ent> on the existence of any
|
|
Contracts in effect with Father, Father is in fact operating on Contracts and
|
|
under Contract <ent type='PERSON'>Law</ent> Jurisprudence with all of us down here, and not on the
|
|
principles, fairness, equality, and justice of pure natural moral Tort <ent type='PERSON'>Law</ent>. So
|
|
only the content of our Contracts will be of concern to Father at the Last Day.
|
|
Under the justice of natural Tort <ent type='PERSON'>Law</ent>, the equality of judgment fairness
|
|
requires that a person be adjudged on the basis of how other similar people are
|
|
being adjudged; but this is not relevant to Father for our purposes at our
|
|
Final Judgment. [118]</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>[118]============================================================= There are
|
|
many people who take the view, seemingly very reasonably that, since they have
|
|
accepted Jesus Christ into their lives, and since they are just as good and
|
|
moral as anyone else they know (and a lot more moral than many other people),
|
|
then it is quite reasonable that they will be going to Heaven. This view is
|
|
very widespread today, and it is also quite defective. First, the fact that you
|
|
are just as good and moral as anyone else is irrelevant to Father in our
|
|
impending <ent type='EVENT'>Judgment Day</ent> to be held under a Contract <ent type='PERSON'>Law</ent> jurisprudential setting.
|
|
Father has no interest in any relative or collectively weighed anything. You,
|
|
individually and personally, have either progressed under your Contract, or you
|
|
haven't; and what some guy down the street does or avoids is not relevant to
|
|
you and your Contract. The unfairness of possibly being treated worse than
|
|
someone else in a grievance is a Tort <ent type='PERSON'>Law</ent> argument. Second, the fact that you
|
|
have accepted Jesus Christ into your life is very significant -- but only as a
|
|
point of beginning, and not as a terminating wrap up to anything. The error
|
|
made by many <ent type='NORP'>Christian</ent> folks -- that their acceptance of Jesus Christ completes
|
|
their forward motions on <ent type='ORG'>Heavenly</ent> matters -- is the same error that many other
|
|
folks make by assigning either a terminating or concluding attribute to the
|
|
execution of contracts [like walking out of an automobile dealership with a
|
|
sigh of relief that since you've the contract and the car is your's, well, that
|
|
ends the matter; sorry, but that PURCHASE AND SALE CONTRACT only started the
|
|
matter]. Entering into a contract -- whether with <ent type='ORG'>Heavenly</ent> Father or anyone
|
|
else -- is always just a point of beginning, a fact that sharp <ent type='ORG'>Gremlin</ent>s have
|
|
taken very astute notice of. While taking about a Diplomatic Treaty that was
|
|
just signed (and Treaties between <ent type='ORG'>Government</ent>s are contracts):
|
|
"It is a fundamental mistake to assume that the treaty ends where it
|
|
really begins. The signing of the document on June 28, 1919 at <ent type='GPE'>Versailles</ent> did
|
|
not complete its history; it really began it. THE MEASURE OF WORTH LIES IN THE
|
|
PROCESS OF ITS EXECUTION AND THE SPIRIT IN WHICH IT IS CARRIED OUT BY ALL OF
|
|
THE PARTIES TO THE CONTRACT."
|
|
-<ent type='PERSON'>Bernard Baruch</ent> in THE MAKING OF THE REPARATIONS AND ECONOMIC SECTIONS
|
|
OF THE <ent type='ORG'>TREATY</ent>, at page 8 [Harper & Brothers, <ent type='GPE'>New York</ent> (1920)]. (The italics
|
|
formation of the last sentence was that way in the original, so it represents
|
|
an idea <ent type='PERSON'>Bernard Baruch</ent> deemed important). Here is a <ent type='ORG'>Gremlin</ent> -- <ent type='PERSON'>Bernard Baruch</ent>
|
|
--telling us that when he participated in partially negotiating the Treaty of
|
|
<ent type='GPE'>Versailles</ent> in 1919, he knew that many folks commonly view the execution of
|
|
Treaties to be the end of the matter; but sharp <ent type='ORG'>Gremlin</ent>s know that contracts
|
|
only start the action in motion; so we too should be cognizant of this
|
|
attribute in Nature.
|
|
=============================================================[118]</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Those Torts that are committed by us and those great things that are done by us
|
|
outside of our Contracts are irrelevant to Father (and to ourselves at the
|
|
<ent type='EVENT'>Judgment Day</ent>); also irrelevant will be those factors of natural Tort <ent type='PERSON'>Law</ent>, such
|
|
as fairness, rights, equality, and justice. So the <ent type='ORG'>Illuminatti</ent>, going into the
|
|
<ent type='EVENT'>Judgment Day</ent> with their pure natural moral Tort <ent type='PERSON'>Law</ent> excuses all very neatly
|
|
lined up to justify, vitiate, and excuse their incredible abominations under
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Lucifer</ent>'s brilliant counselling, will be just like a <ent type='NORP'>Constitutionalist</ent>, so
|
|
called, going into a 7203 prosecution judgment with a bank account contract and
|
|
arguing principles of natural and moral Tort <ent type='PERSON'>Law</ent> (want of a MENS <ent type='ORG'>REA</ent>, morality,
|
|
rights, basic justice, privacy rights, no CORPUS DELECTI damages, unfairness,
|
|
excessive Eighth Amendment punishment for a mere omission, <ent type='ORG'>Common Law</ent> says...,
|
|
etc.) and then demanding justice, and all of these elements of Tort <ent type='PERSON'>Law</ent>
|
|
pronounced very well through numerous <ent type='ORG'>Supreme Court</ent> rulings and Constitutional
|
|
clauses; but they are not applicable to the merits of a Contract <ent type='PERSON'>Law</ent> Judgment
|
|
setting. Both the pseudo-clever <ent type='ORG'>Illuminatti</ent> <ent type='ORG'>Gremlin</ent> and well-meaning
|
|
<ent type='NORP'>Constitutionalist</ent> who still needs intellectual development on Contract <ent type='PERSON'>Law</ent>
|
|
Jurisprudence, are both totally convinced that they are absolutely correct --
|
|
but the unknown reality is that they are both just plain wrong, and for the
|
|
identical same reason: Their arguments, reasoning, and justifications, although
|
|
absolutely correct in another judgment setting of pure natural moral Tort <ent type='PERSON'>Law</ent>,
|
|
are off-point by a wide variance: Because in both of those <ent type='EVENT'>Judgment Day</ent> and
|
|
7203 judgment settings that the <ent type='ORG'>Illuminatti</ent> <ent type='ORG'>Gremlin</ent> and well-meaning
|
|
<ent type='NORP'>Constitutionalist</ent> are being adjudged by, are under invisible Contract
|
|
Jurisprudence and Contract <ent type='PERSON'>Law</ent>, not Tort <ent type='PERSON'>Law</ent>. [119]</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>[119]============================================================= As a
|
|
concluding by-line to this digressionary discussion here on Father and
|
|
Contracts, if you'll but give it a few moments thought and imagination, it is
|
|
interesting to note that this impending <ent type='EVENT'>Judgment Day</ent> arrangement that Father
|
|
designed, gives a generous built in structural edge to those persons who are
|
|
trying to become the Sons of Eloha, and the procedure itself also creates
|
|
obstacles for those who have no interest in such a Celestial Objective (as if
|
|
the operation of <ent type='EVENT'>the Judgment Day</ent> mechanical procedure itself assists in
|
|
separating embryonic Eloha from their ministrants). So now we need to ask
|
|
ourselves a question: Does that structural arrangement sound like it comes from
|
|
someone who knows what he is doing? Yes, it sounds like Father knows exactly
|
|
what he is doing; and if that is true, then we should listen very carefully to
|
|
anything Father has to say and would like us to do. And consistent with
|
|
Father's intentions to give his Sons the edge whenever possible, while exposing
|
|
them to the same environment and standards as everyone else, comes the
|
|
following arrangement: That after we enter into Father's Advanced Contracts
|
|
down here there are some other circumstances we can go through down here to
|
|
accelerate <ent type='EVENT'>the Judgment Day</ent> to the present time (but that is another Letter). I
|
|
am only making the comparative point here that the lack of national collective
|
|
interest on the extreme significance of that <ent type='EVENT'>Judgment Day</ent> accelerant statement
|
|
replicates the lack of national collective interest on the extreme significance
|
|
of bank accounts and other high-powered contracts as those <ent type='ORG'>Equity</ent> instruments
|
|
define our sub-parity relationship with the <ent type='PERSON'>King</ent>. In both cases, this
|
|
information is freely floating around the countryside, but one first has to
|
|
define objectives, ask questions, and then exert efforts in order to get to and
|
|
then understand answers to questions. (And it is the discipline and serious
|
|
attitude such a procedure requires which largely explains why there are so few
|
|
people around who possess such important knowledge; not that there are few
|
|
knowledgeable persons that is an inverse indicia to gauge the importance of the
|
|
knowledge). =============================================================[119]</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Knowing what you do now about Tort <ent type='PERSON'>Law</ent> rationale and our <ent type='ORG'>First Estate Contracts</ent>
|
|
with Father, let us examine, just for the moment, the Old Testament's account
|
|
of <ent type='GPE'>Sodom</ent>. There was a city, we are told, full of licentiousness and
|
|
whoremongering, and although that behavior doesn't sound too attractive to most
|
|
folks, let us consider the fact that in such behavior there are no damages
|
|
being experienced by anyone, there is no MENS <ent type='ORG'>REA</ent>, and that all of the persons
|
|
who participate in those orgies have consented -- and furthermore, biological
|
|
benefits are present. (When criminals are about to work a crime on someone
|
|
else, that advance planning in their minds is called the MENS <ent type='ORG'>REA</ent>. The reason
|
|
why their mind is evil is because they were about to try and damage either
|
|
another person, or someone else's property). [120]</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>[120]============================================================= Furthermore,
|
|
just to make things seem psychologically interesting back then, I am sure that
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Lucifer</ent> blended in some ceremonial flair into those orgies, by conveying the
|
|
image that orgies were officially sanctioned, somehow. Like contemporary
|
|
Witches emulating their mentors in <ent type='GPE'>Sodom</ent> by performing <ent type='ORG'>Fertility Rites</ent> on the
|
|
Witches' Sabbath, an interesting sounding excuse will satisfy most folks. When
|
|
Witches are not otherwise busy PULLING DOWN THE <ent type='ORG'>MOON</ent>, almost all of their rites
|
|
involving licking down some slice of meat [see <ent type='PERSON'>Raymond Buckland</ent>'s THE <ent type='ORG'>TREE</ent>, THE
|
|
COMPLETE BOOK OF SAXON WITCHCRAFT, from Seax-Wica Voys, Box 5149, <ent type='GPE'>Virginia</ent>
|
|
Beach, <ent type='GPE'>Virginia</ent> 23455].
|
|
=============================================================[120]</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>So if everyone is consenting, and there are no damages, and there is no MENS
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>REA</ent>, then there is nothing to remedy, and there is no cause of action to effect
|
|
a "retort," and there is no retortional corrective justice to apply, since
|
|
nothing went amiss in the first place. General reasoning in this area is very
|
|
prevalent today (meaning that many folks today have no concern for the
|
|
inappropriate use of those ecstatic circumstances which initiate mammalian
|
|
reproduction). <ent type='PERSON'>Heathens don</ent>'t like to hear this kind of talk, but Father
|
|
actually operates in an unchanging straight doctrinal line, without any skew to
|
|
accommodate the pleasing intellectual music devils propagate that are sounding
|
|
in the justifying Tort of liability mitigation, that now, just somehow,
|
|
enhanced relative levels of technical knowledge ["this is the Information Age"]
|
|
or that self-perceived aggrandizement of intellectual sophistication, relegates
|
|
such anachronistic <ent type='PERSON'>Stone</ent> Age bugaboo standards to a classification status
|
|
demeaning to your enlightened standing. [121]</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>[121]============================================================= "We do not
|
|
believe in situation-itis; we do not go with the people who think that there is
|
|
a different age, that this is a different time, that these people are more
|
|
enlightened, or that [this standard] was for old times. Always the Lord will
|
|
hold to his statements that he has given through the ages, and he will expect
|
|
men to respect themselves, to respect their wives, and the wives to respect
|
|
their husbands."
|
|
-<ent type='PERSON'>Spencer</ent> W. Kimball in CONFERENCE REPORTS ["God The Same Today"], page
|
|
162 (April, 1975).
|
|
=============================================================[121]</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>What then gives Father the right to expect technical compliance with such
|
|
ecstatic extracurricular circumstances that every person knows Father does not
|
|
approve the inappropriate use of? What gives Father the right to penalize us
|
|
for engaging in circumstances that not only damage no one, but are actually
|
|
biologically beneficial -- circumstances which when administered clinically
|
|
during the formative years under a therapeutic factual setting will actually
|
|
correct impending deviancy inclinations? The answers lies in Contracts, for
|
|
where there lies a Contract, a regulatory jurisdiction is in effect and there
|
|
doesn't have to be any damages experienced for someone to be penalized for
|
|
technical Contract violations; and furthermore, your excuses for non-compliance
|
|
are irrelevant should a grievance ever come to pass. That is where Father got
|
|
the right to turn <ent type='GPE'>Sodom</ent> upside down and terminate all people living therein,
|
|
and Father did so without any nymph in <ent type='GPE'>Sodom</ent> being damaged, everyone consenting
|
|
to that behavior, and the residents of <ent type='GPE'>Sodom</ent> never manifesting an evil state of
|
|
mind towards other residents, as pure, raw fleshy Hedonism was practiced
|
|
without let up. [122]</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>[122]============================================================= "As a young
|
|
man <ent type='PERSON'>David</ent> demonstrated a courage and a strength and a power that likely has not
|
|
been equaled in all of the great characters of the scriptures. He fought with
|
|
wild beasts and overcame them, defeated the giant <ent type='PERSON'>Goliath</ent> virtually with his
|
|
hands, and then served through many years as the leader of <ent type='GPE'>Israel</ent> and
|
|
demonstrated in the process tremendous control, tremendous discipline. The
|
|
greatest enemy he had, perhaps, through most of these years -- at least the
|
|
greatest threat to his existence -- was the man <ent type='PERSON'>Saul</ent>. Yet on several occasions
|
|
when <ent type='PERSON'>David</ent> could have removed this threat by taking the life of <ent type='PERSON'>Saul</ent>, who was
|
|
in his hands, [<ent type='PERSON'>David</ent>] withheld [himself] and controlled those impulses. That
|
|
demonstrated tremendous power and control. Then later in life, as a mature man
|
|
with all the strength that kind of life had brought him, <ent type='PERSON'>David</ent> was unwise. It
|
|
was not because <ent type='PERSON'>David</ent> was weak that he fell. He was unwise. I suspect that
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>David</ent> had reached the point where he felt he was strong enough to indulge the
|
|
entertainment of some enticing possibilities. On the day he stood on his
|
|
rooftop and observed the wife of one of his officers, instead of taking himself
|
|
by the nape of the neck, so to speak, and saying '<ent type='PERSON'>David</ent>, get out of here!'
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>David</ent> remained. <ent type='PERSON'>David</ent> thought about the possibilities [of getting involved with
|
|
this slice of meat], and those thoughts overcame <ent type='PERSON'>David</ent> and eventually
|
|
controlled him. One of the saddest entries in all the scriptures, I think, is
|
|
that which the Lord gave the <ent type='PERSON'>Prophet</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Joseph Smith</ent> in Section 132 of the
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>DOCTRINES</ent> AND COVENANTS. Speaking of <ent type='PERSON'>David</ent>'s situation today, he said, 'For he
|
|
hath fallen from his exaltation, and received his portion.' (D&C 132:39).
|
|
"...<ent type='PERSON'>David</ent>, <ent type='PERSON'>King</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>David</ent>, one of the greatest and powerful men of the Old
|
|
Testament times, could have been today among the Gods if he had controlled his
|
|
thoughts."
|
|
-Dean L. Larsen in 1976 <ent type='ORG'>SPEECHES</ent> OF THE YEAR, at 121 [<ent type='PERSON'>Brigham Young</ent>
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>University</ent> <ent type='ORG'>Press</ent>, <ent type='GPE'>Provo</ent>, <ent type='GPE'>Utah</ent> (1976)]. The chronicles of <ent type='PERSON'>David</ent>'s life are
|
|
presented in F<ent type='ORG'>IRS</ent>T and SECOND SAMUEL. Notice how there was never any unjust
|
|
damages created by <ent type='PERSON'>David</ent> in his life down here; <ent type='PERSON'>David</ent> did not lose his
|
|
exaltation because he carefully avoided damaging others, as a lot of folks in
|
|
<ent type='NORP'>Christian</ent>dom incorrectly believe is important, but actually <ent type='PERSON'>David</ent> lost his
|
|
Celestial Status in the impending <ent type='ORG'>Heavenly</ent> realms that lie ahead because of an
|
|
infracted Contract under circumstances that created no damages whatsoever
|
|
[<ent type='PERSON'>David</ent> mentions that he entered into Father's <ent type='ORG'>EVERLASTING</ent> COVENANT in II SAMUEL
|
|
23:5], the content of which prohibits promiscuous masculine excursions into the
|
|
interior contours of feminine musculature, under certain circumstances. The
|
|
defense argument that such ecstatic circumstances create a wide ranging array
|
|
of beneficial biological and psychological side effects (which is factually
|
|
correct) is not going to be relevant at the Last Day -- just like Tax
|
|
Protesting arguments sounding in the Tort of Constitutional unfairness are not
|
|
relevant when <ent type='ORG'>Federal Judges</ent> are enforcing express Commercial contracts (even
|
|
though the <ent type='PERSON'>Protestor</ent> is also factually correct as well in his Constitutional
|
|
research). And <ent type='PERSON'>Protestor</ent>s continue to lose today on the same grounds and for
|
|
the same reasons that good <ent type='NORP'>Christian</ent> folks will lose the <ent type='GPE'>Celestial Kingdom</ent> and
|
|
take an honorable second place as an <ent type='PERSON'>Angel</ent>: Because of failure to identify and
|
|
come to grips with a series of invisible Contracts, and for failing to
|
|
appreciate the extent to which contracts are elevated in Nature to an
|
|
overruling dominate position in settling Judgments. Father's Covenants were
|
|
deliberately designed to provide PERSONS operating under its jurisdictional
|
|
penumbra with a confluence of contrasting incentives to exercise judgment on,
|
|
and it is the outcome of those decisions which Covenant operants make for
|
|
themselves -- that is what Father wants to see. Yet <ent type='PERSON'>David</ent>, while he was still
|
|
alive down here, knew that he had blown it but good:
|
|
"[Jesus Christ told me that] he that ruleth over men must be just,
|
|
ruling in the fear of God [and this is important to Father because impending
|
|
Gods will themselves be ruling over angels and the like in the realms to come].
|
|
[...These just persons, who are potential Gods], shall be as light in the
|
|
morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender
|
|
grass springing out of the <ent type='LOC'>Earth</ent> by clear shining after rain." After describing
|
|
such a potential Celestial person in those terms, <ent type='PERSON'>David</ent> admitted that he did
|
|
not qualify:
|
|
"...although my house be not so with God."
|
|
-II SAMUEL 23:3 et seq.
|
|
=============================================================[122]</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The questions of damages, of the presence of a MENS <ent type='ORG'>REA</ent>, and of consent are
|
|
Tort <ent type='PERSON'>Law</ent> arguments, and are not relevant when contracts are in effect. But
|
|
wait,</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>"I was never baptized, I never entered me into no Contracts with
|
|
Father. My parents never got me involved with no church. I don't have me no
|
|
baptism certificate in my closet."</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Yes, even you have invisible Contracts now in effect with Father. We all have
|
|
Contracts in effect, and we all took out these contracts, all of us without any
|
|
exceptions did this, back in the First Estate as Spirits. And it was then and
|
|
there that we were on our knees before Father taking out Contracts in the
|
|
angelic language we were then speaking, back before our memories were
|
|
temporarily abated down here, that's when.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This then is the Grand Key towards understanding why people want contracts out
|
|
of you: Because that contract you gave them gives them the right to deal with
|
|
you effectively at a later time. In the case of <ent type='ORG'>Heavenly</ent> Father, those previous
|
|
existing <ent type='ORG'>First Estate Contracts</ent> give Father the right to deal effectively with
|
|
us at a later time, both individually and collectively down here, should our
|
|
degenerate Contract wickedness exceed his patience and threshold level of
|
|
tolerance (as the Old Testament documents over and over again), as well as
|
|
providing a Contract <ent type='PERSON'>Law</ent> Jurisprudential judgment setting at the Last Day where
|
|
Tort <ent type='PERSON'>Law</ent> arguments of EVIL ACCOMPLISHED IN THE GOOD NAME OF JUSTICE are
|
|
ignored. In the case of the <ent type='PERSON'>King</ent>, he too wants contracts out of us to
|
|
accomplish his revenue raising objectives, and then later enforceable against

contracts to deal effectively at a later time with a dissenter who leaves their

|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Gremlin</ent>s, vipers, <ent type='NORP'>Bolsheviks</ent>, witches and other associated imps who circulate
|
|
in that genre are not the only ones to be fooled and taken in on Tort <ent type='PERSON'>Law</ent>
|
|
reasoning down here. Certain eremitical monks are another prime example of well
|
|
meaning people arranging their acts and behavior down here to take maximum
|
|
advantage of the "avoidance of damages" question that haunts so many people. Of
|
|
the numerous orders of monks around, such as the <ent type='NORP'>Trappists</ent>, the <ent type='NORP'>Carthusians</ent>,
|
|
and the <ent type='NORP'>Benedictines</ent>, perhaps it is several of the Black Monk abbeys in <ent type='LOC'>Europe</ent>
|
|
that are exemplary in their zeal not to damage anything, anyone, or any
|
|
property, at any time. These particular <ent type='ORG'>Black Monks</ent> are doctrinaire Benedictine
|
|
Monks. But unique to their own monastery sect, they walk through the air slowly
|
|
and lead isolated and inactive lives. On their minds, they are taught not to
|
|
influence the direction of anything else (i.e., avoid potential damages there).
|
|
In <ent type='ORG'>Saint Benedictine</ent>'s Rules [E.C. Butler, BENEDICTINE MONACHISM (1924)],
|
|
chapters 23 to 30 talk about the relationship in effect between fault for
|
|
damages and punishments to be expected. The head monk, the <ent type='ORG'>Abbott</ent>, is taught
|
|
that he will be held accountable to answer for the souls of all of his monks
|
|
before the judgment seat of God (chapters 2, 3, 27 and 64). Both the willful
|
|
avoidance of damaging anything, and the doctrine that the <ent type='ORG'>Abbott</ent> is responsible
|
|
before Father for the acts of others are Tort <ent type='PERSON'>Law</ent> arguments, and are defective.
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Heavenly</ent> Father is dealing in Contracts; and expecting yourself to be magnified
|
|
in stature before Father at the Last Day due to the mere absence of not having
|
|
caused any damages down here or assuming responsibility for what a third person
|
|
does or does not do, is absolutely incorrect. The only third party line of
|
|
liability down here that we need to be concerned originates with Contracts,
|
|
such as one that deems parents to be responsible for the acts of their
|
|
offspring, if the child goes off on a negative tangent.

that provides for a superseding layer of Covenants replacing a previous layer

of Covenants that have fulfilled their purpose. While quoting Jesus Christ,
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Jeremiah</ent> said that:
|
|
"Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a NEW COVENANT
|
|
with <ent type='ORG'>the House</ent> of <ent type='GPE'>Israel</ent>, and with <ent type='ORG'>the House</ent> of Judah; Not according to the

Covenant that I made with their fathers in that day [when] I took them by the

hand to bring them out of <ent type='GPE'>Egypt</ent>; which my Covenant they [broke], although I was
|
|
a husbandman to them; but this shall be the Covenant that I will make with the
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>House</ent> of <ent type='GPE'>Israel</ent>; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my <ent type='PERSON'>Law</ent> in their

|
inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they
|
|
shall be my people."
|
|
-<ent type='ORG'>JEREMIAH</ent> 31:31 et seq. Here we are being told that the terms of
|
|
Covenants that were once structured for folks in another area are going to be
|
|
replaced with terms of a NEW COVENANT for us; indirectly referring to the
|
|
modifications made in the LAW OF MOSES relating to blood sacrifice rites that
|
|
were deemed unnecessary after the <ent type='PERSON'>Crucifixion</ent> perfected that phase of
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>ATONEMENT</ent>. This passage in <ent type='ORG'>JEREMIAH</ent> does not talk about our own specific
|
|
individual <ent type='ORG'>First Estate Contracts</ent> being replaced with another layer of NEW
|
|
COVENANTS in this Second Estate, but the Principle that is being spoken here,
|
|
of an organic growth in Covenants by reason of superseding replacement, applies
|
|
to us all individually, just as <ent type='PERSON'>Jeremiah</ent> is telling us that it applies to the
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>House</ent> of <ent type='GPE'>Israel</ent> collectively. The operation of this Principle of Nature,
|
|
whether applied to us individually COVENANT BY SUCCESSIVE COVENANT or
|
|
collectively as a nation by a change in the terms of those COVENANTS EN <ent type='GPE'>MASSE</ent>,
|
|
is well known in <ent type='PERSON'>Law</ent> and is called the MERGER DOCTRINE by <ent type='NORP'>American</ent> lawyers,

which I will discuss later. <ent type='PERSON'>Jeremiah</ent> was a marvelous fellow, and I will have

more to say about him personally near the end of this Letter.

then restraining one's self to remain within the contours of such intellectual

discouraged. And as for the <ent type='PERSON'>Law</ent> of Contracts, whether known or unknown:

"A contract is an agreement in which a party undertakes to do, or not

<p>This state of affairs of throwing criminal prosecutions against people who do

Staff members in <ent type='ORG'>the Treasury Department</ent> have been analyzing the possible

|
benefits and consequences to the <ent type='PERSON'>King</ent> if, in the justification of the Income
|
|
Tax, the <ent type='ORG'>IRS</ent> were to shift over to a correct presentation of the <ent type='PERSON'>Law</ent>, in the
|
|
context of proper and natural morality and ethics, based on a voluntary
|
|
attachment of <ent type='ORG'>Equity</ent> Jurisdiction, and applicable only to a special class of
|
|
people. At the present time, the <ent type='ORG'>IRS</ent> presentation of the <ent type='PERSON'>Law</ent>, in explaining why

an Income Tax is to be paid, continuously shifts attention over to the 16th
|
|
Amendment, and kind of winds up by saying that:</p>
|

|
|
<p>"...well, we collect the tax from every one because the 16th Amendment

tells us we need to."</p>
|
|
|

<p>You may be surprised to hear this somewhat pleasant note, but there is internal

disagreement within <ent type='ORG'>the Treasury Department</ent> on the long term wisdom of such an

erroneous presentation of the <ent type='PERSON'>Law</ent>. And both <ent type='PERSON'>Armen Condo</ent> and <ent type='PERSON'>Irwin Schiff</ent> are
|

prime exemplary models to explain this interesting change in viewpoint now in

intellectual gestation within the senior administrative rank and file of the

officials with inquisitorial powers. It will be a step towards

<p>Back in the 1950's, statisticians in <ent type='ORG'>the Treasury Department</ent>, in their long

range (10, 20 and 30 year) revenue/budget projection plots, saw that the

combination of both inflation and the percentage progressive Income Tax would,

in that Hearing expressed knowledge on the enscrewment orientation of
|
|
progressive taxation, through their own words. When such widely held knowledge

jells into something tangible in the corridors of <ent type='ORG'>Congress</ent> is largely a

<p>And it was expected that the thrust of the public concern that was out in the
|
|
open, would be of the basic legitimacy of the Income Tax itself, and that such
|
|
concern would have a strong current under it due to its percentage progressive
|
|
nature that would accelerate into such noticeable levels when inflation was
|
|
strong for several years in a row; so much so that even ordinarily blind,
|
|
disinterested, naive and politically benign people would then perk up and take
|
|
interest; and even businessmen would start to slough off, rather than give away
|
|
their hard earned income stream to termites. With the annual increment in
|
|
Inflation, the public's questioning of the general illegitimacy of the Income
|
|
Tax would be incremented with each passing year, as it was expected that the
|
|
public would notice that although greater taxes are being paid, no additional
|
|
benefits or commensurate services were being experienced or being returned by
|
|
the <ent type='PERSON'>King</ent> in one year to the next. This illegitimacy angle was expected to be a
|
|
"center of gravity" in the public's view, since the general public is unaware

|
of the ethical and moral basis of the Excise Income Tax, and of an attachment
|
|
of <ent type='ORG'>Equity</ent> Jurisdiction involved (in other words, the <ent type='PERSON'>King</ent> can demand and get
|
|
anything from 0% to 100% in <ent type='ORG'>Equity</ent> and be morally correct, because your
|
|
participation with him in accepting his benefits in Commercial <ent type='ORG'>Equity</ent> is purely
|
|
voluntary, and so any amount of gain you acquired in <ent type='PERSON'>King</ent>'s <ent type='ORG'>Commerce</ent> is gain
|
|
that you would not otherwise have). That attachment of <ent type='PERSON'>King</ent>'s <ent type='ORG'>Equity</ent>
|
|
Jurisdiction always precedes the liability for the tax. And so it has been
|
|
expected for some time that <ent type='GPE'>the United States</ent> would one day experience the most
|
|
extreme and intolerable levels of income confiscation ever known to <ent type='NORP'>American</ent>s:
|
|
Without any reciprocity by the <ent type='PERSON'>King</ent>, without any apparent QUID PRO QUO [135]</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>[135]============================================================= The phrase
|
|
QUID PRO QUO means that there has been an exchange of "something for
|
|
something." It has a <ent type='NORP'>Roman</ent> origin to it, and is a term that appears in old
|
|
medieval <ent type='NORP'>English</ent> Crown cases I have read, and now carries on down to the
|
|
present time with <ent type='ORG'>Federal Judges</ent>. See IN RE LUEDER'S ESTATE, 164 F.2nd 128, at

|
135 (1947). =============================================================[135]</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>of incremental increase in benefits to be experienced from one year to the
|
|
next, and without any justification at all for the annual percentage
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>incrementation</ent> in tax extraction. These projection plots were not deemed to be
|
|
of very high priority at that time back in the 1950's, but the results and
|
|
findings were circulated among some administrative personnel and they
|
|
eventually made it over to two <ent type='ORG'>Congress</ent>ional committees.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Under <ent type='ORG'>the Treasury Department</ent>'s projection models and plots, it was predicted
|
|
that open defiance would come some day as such expected aggressive tax levels
|
|
are simply not bearable by average folks, previously quiescent, who would then
|
|
start to question the legitimacy of the tax itself. [136]</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>[136]============================================================= And other
|
|
top tax bureaucrats have repeated the warnings initially contained in that
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Treasury</ent> Department report of the 1950's. At the close of the Johnson
|
|
Administration in 1969, Secretary of the <ent type='ORG'>Treasury</ent> Joseph W. <ent type='PERSON'>Barr</ent> warned of a
|
|
growing resentment against higher taxes. [See the Foreword in THE INCOME TAX:
|
|
HOW PROGRESSIVE SHOULD IT BE? by The <ent type='NORP'>American</ent> Enterprise Institute, featuring
|
|
cross discussions on the question of progressivity with <ent type='PERSON'>Charles Galvin</ent> and
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Boris Bittker</ent> (<ent type='ORG'>AEI</ent>, <ent type='GPE'>Washington</ent>, 1969)].
|
|
=============================================================[136]</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The catalytic effect of such aggressive tax levels would be the deprivation of
|
|
the ability of such average folks to provide minimum necessities for
|
|
themselves, such as housing and food. [137]</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>[137]============================================================= This is a
|
|
conclusion also reached by <ent type='ORG'>the Fund for Public Policy Research</ent>, in a report
|
|
entitled TAX CHANGES AND THE COMPOSITION OF FIXED INVESTMENT: AN AGGREGATE
|
|
SIMULATION by <ent type='PERSON'>Aaron</ent>, <ent type='PERSON'>Russek</ent>, and Singer. The study was conducted to inform the
|
|
Joint <ent type='ORG'>Congress</ent>ional Committee on Internal Revenue Taxation as to the impact of
|
|
the Tax Reform Act of 1969 on investments in housing. [<ent type='GPE'>Washington</ent>, D.C.
|
|
(1969)]. Some of the data used in this report was obtained from the Federal
|
|
Reserve Board, who researches its own macro-economic taxation models
|
|
isochronously (ISOCHRONOUS means at regularly occurring intervals of time).
|
|
=============================================================[137]</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>One of the questions that was hypothetically addressed in the accompanying
|
|
report is the concern the <ent type='ORG'>Treasury</ent> had of the general institutionalized
|
|
acceptance of "Tax Protesting" by the public. Like the widespread flaunting of
|
|
the assertion of the <ent type='PERSON'>King</ent>'s law during <ent type='EVENT'>Prohibition</ent>, a little resistance and a
|
|
few flare-ups can be managed well in the early stages with some well publicized
|
|
spankings, [138]</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>[138]============================================================= "...there is
|
|
one way by which the <ent type='ORG'>Government</ent> could avoid almost all resource costs in
|
|
enforcing the tax code: <ent type='ORG'>Penalize</ent> only a few taxpayers, but with inordinately
|
|
high fines or other punishments. Given that taxpayers are risk adverse, such a
|
|
strategy has a minimal resource cost while serving as an effective deterrent to
|
|
tax evasion."

EVASION, 38 <ent type='ORG'>National Tax Journal</ent> 345, at 346 (September, 1985). Notice why this
|

IN <ent type='ORG'>TERROREM</ent> method of collecting taxes would succeed: Because the <ent type='ORG'>Taxpayer</ent>s are

deemed to be milktoast RISK ADVERSE persons [meaning that unlike <ent type='ORG'>Patriots</ent>,
|

<ent type='ORG'>Taxpayer</ent>s would rather pay than put up a good fight]. The authors then discuss
|
|
and cite in turn two books that discuss ways on how the <ent type='ORG'>Government</ent> can magnify

the important image of such tax spankings administered to potential tax evaders
|

in the public's eye; see:

<p>but a lot of resistance later on produces Jury Nullification, widespread
|
|
administrative non-cooperation, secondary disrespect for the <ent type='PERSON'>Law</ent> in general, a
|
|
growing underground economy, as well as numerous other technical problems. In
|
|
the present discussions that are now going on in <ent type='GPE'>Washington</ent>, there is a
|
|
minority viewpoint being developed that suggests the possibility that it might
|
|
be worthwhile for <ent type='GPE'>the United States</ent> to consider exploring the feasibility of
|
|
heading off the impending blossoming Resistance by preventative means, and one
|
|
possible way to do that would be by having the <ent type='ORG'>IRS</ent> justify the tax along
|
|
ethically specific and morally correct reasons, and on grounds harmonious with
|
|
Natural <ent type='PERSON'>Law</ent>, involving citing just the <ent type='ORG'>Commerce</ent> Clause, equity benefits and
|
|
contracts (bank accounts, direct beneficial interest, adhesion, equity,
|
|
employment, political, and state <ent type='ORG'>Juristic Personalities</ent>), and to emphasize that
|
|
only special individuals in these classes who want these special juristic
|
|
benefits have any liability at all for the <ent type='PERSON'>King</ent>'s <ent type='ORG'>Equity</ent> participation tax on
|
|
incomes. Such an officially sanctioned justification would strip away the veil
|
|
of illegitimacy that now permeates the Income Tax among many people, and would
|
|
show to all the immoral position of <ent type='PERSON'>Armen Condo</ent> and <ent type='PERSON'>Irwin Schiff</ent>, as those two
|
|
were caught defiling themselves by dishonoring contracts they had with the
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>King</ent>. The consequences of this reversal of <ent type='ORG'>IRS</ent> public justification would be
|
|
manifold:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>1.First, it would discredit people like <ent type='PERSON'>Irwin Schiff</ent> and <ent type='PERSON'>Armen Condo</ent>,
|
|
who have propagated legally defective tax related information around the
|
|
countryside. Appearing on television and selling large numbers of books, these
|
|
people develop a cult following [if <ent type='ORG'>CULT</ent> is the word] and contribute to the
|
|
institutionalization of public acceptance of defying the <ent type='PERSON'>King</ent>, and their cult
|
|
continues to grow even though the information they propagate is misleading and
|
|
technically defective, and will collapse in front of a Federal Judge.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>2.Tax revenues would decrease a bit in the near term as some people
|
|
shift their Status around to avoid being a <ent type='ORG'>Taxpayer</ent>; [139]</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>[139]============================================================= An
|
|
adjustment in status from <ent type='ORG'>Taxpayer</ent> to non-<ent type='ORG'>Taxpayer</ent> is a behavioral modification
|
|
designed to experience relief from a taxation load; if invisible juristic
|
|
taxation contracts remain in effect after the transition in status adjustment
|
|
was believed to have been completed, then what could be the provident saving of
|
|
resources then degenerates into TAX EVASION. Tax evaders have been thoroughly
|
|
studied, examined, and restudied over and over again [for the fabulous amount
|
|
of money at stake in this <ent type='ORG'>Gremlin</ent> enrichment game, we really do not need
|
|
collaborating documentation on what is merely COMMON SENSE, but termites do].

as persons who thus DEMAND the level of evasion given the PRICES for evasion as

model, these two authors concluded that the evading <ent type='ORG'>Taxpayer</ent> takes in factual

information (like the structure, enforcement effect, and punishments specified

in the tax code) as GIVEN criteria the <ent type='ORG'>Taxpayer</ent> cannot control, an then the

evasion is worth to him.]

to influence the tax evasion question. See A. Lewis in AN EMPIRICAL ASSESSMENT

-Based on sample data containing these five main demographic variables
|
|
suggestive of tax evaders: Age, Income by Category, Belief that tax evasion is
|
|
morally wrong, belief that <ent type='ORG'>the Federal Income Tax</ent> is fair, and economic
|
|
factors, Researcher A. Lewis generates a pretty accurate larger estimate of the
|
|
percentage of non-complying <ent type='ORG'>Taxpayer</ent>s who exhibit tax evasion behavior, by
|
|
multiplying his sample data to the known entire national population that
|
|
conforms to each variable classification [see A. Lewis in THE PSYCHOLOGY OF
|
|
TAXATION [<ent type='ORG'>Saint Martin</ent>'s <ent type='ORG'>Press</ent>, <ent type='GPE'>New York</ent> (1982)].
|

=============================================================[139]</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>3.Tax revenues would increase a bit as the immoral and unethical
|
|
position of Tax <ent type='PERSON'>Protestor</ent>s is frowned on, rather than cheered on by courtroom
|
|
supporters; and the resentment against paying a high percentage tax would
|
|
cease; [140]</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>[140]============================================================= When Tax
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Protestor</ent>s are parties to invisible juristic contracts, they are in fact tax
|
|
evaders, because they do in fact owe the tax, regardless of their political
|
|
philosophy justification sounding in the Tort of unfairness [even though many
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Protestor</ent>s do not want to admit it]. In Nature, whenever contracts are in
|
|
effect when a grievance is up for settlement, then the contract comes first,
|
|
and Tort arguments of unfairness come second; and nothing will change at the
|
|
Last Day. The economic perspective on tax evasion [meaning the effect of tax
|
|
evasion on tax receipts] has been frequently commented upon. For recent
|
|
technical examples see:
|
|
-Vidar <ent type='NORP'>Christian</ent>son in TWO COMMENTS ON TAX EVASION, 13 Journal of
|
|
Public Economics 389 (1980);
|
|
-<ent type='PERSON'>Jonathan Skinner</ent> and <ent type='PERSON'>Joel Slemrod</ent> in ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVES ON TAX
|
|
EVASION, 38 <ent type='ORG'>National Tax Journal</ent> 345 (September, 1985); discusses horizontal
|
|
fairness [HORIZONTAL means analyzed among <ent type='ORG'>Taxpayer</ent>s of equal income] with
|
|
vertical fairness [VERTICAL means analyzed among <ent type='ORG'>Taxpayer</ent>s of different
|
|
income], in an on-going practice of tax evasion:
|
|
"Public Policy towards tax evasion reflects complex and often competing
|
|
goals of collecting taxes efficiently and treating <ent type='ORG'>Taxpayer</ent>s equitably. Since
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Adam Smith</ent>, economists have been aware of the conflict between the
|
|
comprehensive collection of <ent type='ORG'>Government</ent> revenue and the costly and unfair or
|
|
"odious" method necessary to enforce these comprehensive collection rules."
|
|
-<ent type='PERSON'>Skinner</ent> and <ent type='PERSON'>Slemrod</ent>, id., at 345
|
|
That reference to <ent type='PERSON'>Adam Smith</ent> is:
|
|
"A major source of <ent type='ORG'>Government</ent> revenue in <ent type='PERSON'>Adam Smith</ent>'s day was duties,
|
|
which 'by subjecting at least the dealers in the taxed commodities to the
|
|
frequent visits and odious examination of the tax gatherers, expose them
|
|
sometimes, no doubt to some degree of oppression; and always to trouble and
|
|
vexation; and although vexation... is not strictly speaking expense, it is
|
|
certainly equivalent to the experience at which every man would be willing to
|
|
redeem from it'."
|
|
-<ent type='PERSON'>Adam Smith</ent> in II WEALTH OF NATIONS, at 430 [<ent type='ORG'>University</ent> of <ent type='GPE'>Chicago</ent>
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Press</ent>, <ent type='GPE'>Chicago</ent> (1976)]. As can been seen from the days of <ent type='PERSON'>Adam Smith</ent>, tax
|
|
collection is very much a continuing source of frictional confrontation between
|
|
the Crown and the Countryside, and under such an inherently tortional factual
|
|
setting, tax evasion will remain alive. Even though there is nothing immoral or
|
|
improper about the use of implied invisible contracts by <ent type='ORG'>Juristic Institutions</ent>
|
|
to raise revenue, tax evasion will so remain on the scene until such time as
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Juristic Institutions</ent> are barred from raising revenue under these implied
|
|
contracts [as I will discuss later] (IMPLIED meaning invisible mass contracts
|
|
that are not individually negotiated with each Person); so Juristic
|
|
Institutions would then be required to rely on either express negotiated
|
|
contracts (meaning contracts negotiated with every Person individually), or
|
|
restricting the manipulative use of implied contracts to only those factual
|
|
settings where special optional benefits are being offered. In both instances,
|
|
you can forget about either of these contractual restrainments ever surfacing
|
|
in Constitutions.

<p>4.The underground economy, so called, would partially disappear, as
|
|
black markets in any commodity can only exist to escape the forced intervention
|
|
of <ent type='ORG'>Government</ent> that creates unnatural pricing. [141]</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>[141]============================================================= Concern for
|
|
the so called UNDERGROUND ECONOMY has been a recurring theme within the
|
|
corridors of <ent type='ORG'>Government</ent>. By calling it the UNDERGROUND ECONOMY, the <ent type='PERSON'>King</ent>'s
|
|
Agents are trying to color an illicit and tainted image in such activities; but
|
|
the <ent type='PERSON'>King</ent> is in no position to do so.
|
|
[Later I will talk about the use of guns, literally, by <ent type='ORG'>Treasury</ent> agents
|
|
in the 1800's, to seal up a national monopoly on circulating Currency; in the
|
|
old days, private mints and businesses freely issued out their own circulating
|
|
coins and script, and so back then there was a real question as to whether or
|
|
not common folks were involved with what is called <ent type='ORG'>INTERSTATE COMMERCE</ent>; but
|
|
today everyone is automatically "in" this invisible <ent type='ORG'>INTERSTATE COMMERCE</ent> by the
|
|
use and recirculation of <ent type='ORG'>Federal Reserve</ent> Notes, because the <ent type='PERSON'>King</ent> once used his
|
|
guns and bouncers to accomplish by hard physical duress what natural
|
|
competitive economic attraction and good common sense could not bring about: A
|
|
tight national <ent type='ORG'>Government</ent> monopoly on circulating Currency instruments,
|
|
enforced by penal statutes. Should we be surprised that today, the <ent type='PERSON'>King</ent>'s
|
|
Agents are now trying to twist things around enough so that those same common
|
|
folks who simply do not want to use the <ent type='PERSON'>King</ent>'s money are now colored as being
|
|
illicit participants in that vile, illegitimate "Underground Economy" -- but in
|
|
fact the <ent type='PERSON'>King</ent> should be the VERY LAST ONE to talk about what is illicit, vile,
|
|
tainted, and unsavory[]. For recent recurring <ent type='ORG'>Government</ent> concerns echoed on
|
|
that heinous and obscene UNDERGROUND ECONOMY, see:

economy on the basis of changes in money holdings over a period of time; see:

|
<ent type='PERSON'>Vito Tanzi</ent> [<ent type='ORG'>Lexington Books</ent>, <ent type='GPE'>Toronto</ent> (1983)]. A <ent type='NORP'>British</ent> researcher developed an

UNDERGROUND ECONOMY model using differences between estimates of reported

income on tax returns and other estimates of income based on household and
|
|
industrial surveys of spending as an indicator of the percentage slice of the
|
|
economy going underground [see K. MacAfee in A GLIMPSE OF THE HIDDEN ECONOMY,
|
|
316 Economic Trends Magazine, at 81 (February, 1980)]. Another researcher based
|
|
in <ent type='GPE'>Italy</ent> used data from the relative level of public participation in what is
|
|
called the OFFICIAL LABOR PARTICIPATION RATE to arrive at his conclusions as to
|
|
the number and magnitude of which <ent type='NORP'>Italians</ent> are declining their <ent type='ORG'>Government</ent>'s
|
|
invitation to deprive themselves of daily necessities so their <ent type='ORG'>Government</ent> can

engage in conquests [see B. Contini in an article entitled THE SECOND ECONOMY

OF ITALY, in <ent type='PERSON'>Vito Tanzi</ent>'s UNDERGROUND ECONOMY, id. Here in the <ent type='ORG'>United Stats</ent>,
|
|
one of the ways <ent type='ORG'>Government</ent> researchers probe for areas of "illicit"
|
|
subterranean activity is to examine what each <ent type='NORP'>American</ent> spends per year for food
|
|
and other retail purchases, and then figure up a national per person average.
|
|
Based on that information, a reasonable figure can be estimated that each
|
|
typical <ent type='NORP'>American</ent> would spend each year on, for example, food. Then checking
|
|
each city in <ent type='GPE'>the United States</ent> against that national average, they look for
|
|
food stores that are selling food to a known population area at a rate far in
|
|
excess of the national per person average -- then obviously there are more
|
|
people in that city than official census tracts are reporting. One such
|
|
representative metropolitan area of a city swirling in such an illicit vortex
|

of unreported income and officially nonexistent people, not surprisingly, is

characteristic worthy of admiration, even though the majority of <ent type='ORG'>Patriots</ent> I

<p>[143]============================================================= A <ent type='NORP'>British</ent>
|
|
researcher argues that the hard suppression of tax evasion by the <ent type='ORG'>Government</ent> is
|
|
actually self-defeating, since such a characteristically GESTAPO suppression of
|
|
evaders produces the secondary effect of reducing aggregate tax receipts by
|
|
having discouraged economic activity; which if, in contrast, would have
|
|
surpassed those taxes that were evaded [see B. Bracewell-Milnes in THE FISC AND
|
|
THE FUGITIVE: EXPLOITING THE QUARRY appearing in "<ent type='ORG'>The State</ent> of Taxation," The
|
|
Institute of Economic Affairs, <ent type='GPE'>London</ent> (1977)]. Many other parallels exist all
|
|
throughout the very wide ranging field of interpersonal relations that suggest
|
|
that the relaxed quiescent atmosphere generated by nice guys always yields the
|
|
most fruit; but <ent type='NORP'>Bolshevik</ent> <ent type='ORG'>Gremlin</ent>s believe that they are on an important
|
|
mission and that terror is an important accessory instrument available to help
|
|
them accomplish their objectives, and so nice guys are in their way, and
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Gremlin</ent>s have no room for people that are in their way.

<p>6.Near term revenues would increase as <ent type='ORG'>Taxpayer</ent>s who now view the tax
|
|
as either wrong, immoral, or illegitimate and then claim excessive deductions
|
|
would be hesitant to do so when the moral position is shifted around and now
|
|
it's their failure to pay their full share that is a serious act of
|
|
self-defilement on their part. [144]</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>[144]============================================================= But the
|
|
realization will never be universal:
|
|
"The problem [of both tax avoidance and evasion] is an ancient one. The
|
|
natural desire of the <ent type='ORG'>Citizen</ent> to pay as small a tax as possible is doubtless as
|
|
old as taxation. It would be difficult, indeed, to devise a system of taxation
|
|
under which it would not rear its head. In this day of manifold <ent type='ORG'>Government</ent>al
|
|
activities with the consequent need for constant and fixed revenues, it is of
|
|
paramount importance that the revenue laws be so drawn and so administered that
|
|
the taxes imposed do not depend for their collection upon the whim, caprice, or
|
|
astuteness of <ent type='ORG'>Taxpayer</ent>s and their counsels. An added consideration is the
|
|
equitable rights of <ent type='ORG'>Taxpayer</ent>s themselves. It is of abiding importance to
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Taxpayer</ent>s as a class that each <ent type='ORG'>Taxpayer</ent> pay his proportion of the tax burden,
|
|
that each <ent type='ORG'>Citizen</ent> share the cost of <ent type='ORG'>Government</ent> in accordance with his ability
|
|
to pay. Hence, in combating both evasion and avoidance, the <ent type='ORG'>Government</ent> is
|
|
protecting itself and the equitable rights of all <ent type='ORG'>Taxpayer</ent>s. The problem is one
|
|
in which small <ent type='ORG'>Taxpayer</ent>s, in particular, have a very definite interest. John
|
|
Doe has a taxable net income of one thousand dollars. Generally, <ent type='PERSON'>John Doe</ent> pays
|
|
his tax thereon. If he tries to avoid he usually evades, because he is unable
|
|
to employ skilled advisors, and many of the methods by which he might avoid are
|
|
not available to him. On the other hand, <ent type='PERSON'>Henry Doe</ent> has a taxable net income of
|
|
three thousand dollars. He has skilled accountants and advisors to reduce this
|
|
net income and thereby minimize his tax liability. His business and investments
|
|
are, generally, of such a nature as to render available to him many tax saving
|
|
schemes. Hence, the ability to pay frequently carries with it the ability to
|
|
avoid. After all, tax avoidance cannot be had at the dollar book counter."

<p>It is the opinion of staff members that although this is an interesting model

immoral acts on the countryside. Since a majority of <ent type='NORP'>American</ent>s still do not

<p>The value in this story is the knowledge that the <ent type='PERSON'>King</ent>'s <ent type='ORG'>Tax Collectors</ent> in
|
|
<ent type='GPE'>Washington</ent> are not the intellectually lethargic and dim-witted bureaucrats some
|
|
people make them out to be. [146]</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>[146]============================================================= Tax
|
|
bureaucrats conduct extensive continuous statistical research on various
|
|
different methodologies of conducting the best CRACKING that can be had for the
|
|
tax collection dollar spent. Based on technical information derived from
|
|
sources within the <ent type='ORG'>IRS</ent>, researcher <ent type='PERSON'>Ann Witte</ent>, et al., developed an economic
|
|
model of tax compliance by <ent type='NORP'>American</ent>s. She came to the same conclusions that <ent type='ORG'>IRS</ent>
|
|
statistical termites had already arrived at long ago:
|
|
1.That the decline in tax audit rates during the 1970's may have
|
|
accounted for a substantial portion of the decline in compliance during that
|
|
period.
|
|
2.That increases in probability of tax audit and such things as
|
|
information reporting and tax withholding are likely devices to increase tax
|
|
code compliance [not very difficult to figure out, but bureaucrats need to have
|
|
it all handed to them].
|
|
3.That increases in moral ambivalence towards tax compliance will
|
|
increase tax non-compliance [not very difficult to figure out]. The <ent type='ORG'>IRS</ent> divides
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Taxpayer</ent>s into different strata of audit classes since it believes that
|
|
compliance behavior differs significantly on the basis of level and type of
|
|
income. <ent type='PERSON'>Ann Witte</ent> constructed a statistical analysis for homogeneity of
|
|
coefficients across the seven audit classes that her sources in the <ent type='ORG'>IRS</ent> would
|
|
admit existed; she used LEAST SQUARES and a generalization of the CHOW TEST as
|
|
statistical tools to come to a conclusion. That yes, <ent type='ORG'>Taxpayer</ent>s situated within
|
|
the seven different strata of audit classes developed by professional termites
|
|
in the <ent type='ORG'>IRS</ent> do in fact exhibit an amazingly similar <ent type='ORG'>MODUS</ent> VIVENDI to other
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Taxpayer</ent>s in the same class [<ent type='ORG'>MODUS</ent> VIVENDI means mode of living in the sense
|
|
that it is a temporary arrangement pending settlement of some grievance]. Yes,
|
|
those termites are quite proficient unknowing <ent type='NORP'>Bolshevik</ent> instrumentalities at
|
|
their juristic tasks of eating out our substance [see <ent type='PERSON'>Ann Witte</ent> in THE EFFECT

<p>[147]============================================================= The

assessments and <ent type='ORG'>JUDGMENT</ent> CALLS that our <ent type='PERSON'>King</ent> goes through in determining how

much money should stay on the farm, what minimum amount is needed by the farmer
|
|
for survival, and then how much should be turned over to the <ent type='ORG'>State</ent> for his own
|
|
Royal purposes, is the same <ent type='ORG'>JUDGMENT</ent> CALL that <ent type='ORG'>Gremlin</ent>s nestled in Juristic
|
|
Institutions made world wide:
|
|
"We were back to food requisitioning, only now it was called a tax.
|
|
Then there was something called 'overfilling the quota.' What did that mean?
|
|
It meant that a <ent type='ORG'>Party</ent> secretary would go to a collective farm and determine how
|
|
much grain the collective farmers would need for their own purposes and how
|
|
much [grain] they had to turn over the <ent type='ORG'>State</ent>. Often, not even the local <ent type='ORG'>Party</ent>
|
|
committee would determine procurements; the <ent type='ORG'>State</ent> itself would set a quota for
|
|
the whole district. As a result, all too frequently, the peasants would have to
|
|
turn everything over they produced -- literally everything! Naturally, since
|
|
they received no compensation whatsoever for their work, they lost interest in
|
|
the collective farm and concentrated instead on their private plots to feed
|
|
their families."

TESTAMENT, page 108 [Little Brown, <ent type='GPE'>Boston</ent> (1974); translated by Strobe
|
|
Talbott]. The reason why <ent type='ORG'>Gremlin</ent>s world wide are continually confronted with
|
|
the same nagging taxation question over and over again, is because they are
|
|
dealing with DIRECT taxes operating largely on <ent type='ORG'>Citizen</ent>ship Contracts, and so
|
|
there is inherently always going to be tension, friction, and confrontations,
|
|
as DIRECT TAXES by their nature require strict administrative compliance, which
|
|
is fundamentally out of harmony with the HAPPY GO LUCKY nonchalant ambivalence
|
|
many folks manifest. And there will also be correlative factual assessments
|
|
being made by <ent type='ORG'>Government</ent> as to just what the permissible levels of tolerable
|
|
enscrewment are, that can be sustained by the peasantry before EN <ent type='GPE'>MASSE</ent>
|
|
rejection gets out of hand. By the nature of DIRECT taxes, for the reciprocal
|
|
compensation demanded, there never is any relationship to juristic benefits
|
|
offered, nor any relationship between income extracted from people and
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Government</ent>al needs -- and so what we are left with is just an extraction
|

formula designed to maximize Crown enrichment.

looking for some Tax Protesting giblets to crack:
|
|
"SENATOR SMOOTHERS: I have been concerned, Mr. <ent type='PERSON'>Alexander</ent>, [Director of
|
|
the <ent type='ORG'>IRS</ent> in the mid 1970's], and the committee has received information
|
|
regarding how the <ent type='ORG'>IRS</ent> deals with its enemies, if you will, particularly the tax
|
|
protestor groups. We have information indicating that there has been an effort

made to infiltrate these groups, if you will, primarily based on their anti-<ent type='ORG'>IRS</ent>
|

activities, including such things as [their] efforts at physical destruction

[in] your [<ent type='ORG'>IRS</ent> offices and the filing of reams of blank returns. Is it your

matter better handled by other investigative agencies, like the <ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent>?

"MR. <ent type='ORG'>ALEXANDER</ent>: Mr. <ent type='PERSON'>Smoothers</ent>, there have been instances where the use

of the techniques that you described would be necessary. Those instances are

few indeed. I think that the <ent type='ORG'>IRS</ent> has a responsibility to see to it that those
|
|
who attempt to defeat tax administration and tax enforcement do not succeed.
|
|
And, accordingly, as to tax resisters, we have an interest, and shall, I think,
|
|
maintain an interest in making their efforts fail. But we also have a duty in
|
|
the fulfillment of this limited goal to live up to constitutional principles
|
|
and the law, because we cannot enforce the law properly by violating the law [a

lie, but a CRACKER is not about to tell the <ent type='ORG'>Congress</ent> anything else]. ...Tax

|
|
once had a few words to say about EXECUTIVE POWER, such as that power wielded
|
|
by Presidents and his administrative assistants:
|
|
"Executive power combines policy-making with the direction of policy
|
|
execution. It is this combination that endows the executive organ in the
|
|
governmental structure with its crucial functional importance and vests it, or
|
|
rather the persons who symbolize or control it, with the mystique normally
|
|
surrounding a head of <ent type='ORG'>State</ent> or a monarch. In the minds of the people, a
|
|
president, a king, or even a premier... plays the role of leader, much in the
|
|
tradition of the family head, the village elder, or the tribal chief.
|
|
"Through the ages, society has depended on the chief executives for a
|
|
sense of direction, and they have stood at the apex of the social and political
|
|
hierarchy whenever necessity has forced men to band together. Executive power
|
|
may, in fact, be the oldest and the most necessary social institution in the
|
|
world. It has taken many forms, has been established through diverse channels
|
|
ranging from birth to purposely perpetrated death, and has been invested with
|
|
different ranges of authority at various places and times and in response to
|
|
varying requirements...
|
|
"The [bureaucratic] executive... is relatively unhindered in the
|
|
exercise of [this] power... Formal restraints, such as legal injunctions, are
|
|
also either absent or circumvented, while informal restraints [such as the
|
|
press] are somewhat more elastic in the assertion of their claims against the
|
|
executive."

|
[<ent type='PERSON'>Fredrick Praeger</ent> Publisher, <ent type='GPE'>New York</ent> (1962)]. <ent type='ORG'>Gremlin</ent>s know that folks will go
|
|
right ahead and improvidently place an aura of mystique about the nominees they
|
|
sponsor into visible executive positions in <ent type='ORG'>Juristic Institutions</ent>, such as
|
|
Presidents and Members of his <ent type='ORG'>Cabinet</ent> -- while the real action [the level where
|
|
the bureaucracy is interfacing with the public, the level where damages are
|
|
being created), is taking place at a lower level -- an invisible bureaucratic
|
|
level. And <ent type='ORG'>Gremlin</ent>s are also cognizant of the fact that formal legal
|
|
restraints, such as those residing in the Constitution, are in fact
|
|
circumvented, as Mr. <ent type='PERSON'>Alexander</ent> admitted; and third parties the public seems to
|
|
trust, like the <ent type='ORG'>Press</ent>, are noted for their acquiescence of mischief through
|
|
their silence. Always remember that <ent type='ORG'>Gremlin</ent>s merely take advantage of what is
|
|
handed to them, and will back off when the knife encounters a bone instead of
|
|
more flesh; this is a Principle pronounced over and over again in

|
ecclesiastical settings, as <ent type='PERSON'>Lucifer</ent> is identified as a clever adversary
|
|
specializing in taking prime advantages of weaknesses. <ent type='ORG'>Patriots</ent> assigning a
|
|
degree of trust in the Constitutional compliance inclinations of lower strata
|
|
bureaucratic underlings, by virtue of the stature possessed by a President
|
|
sponsored by <ent type='ORG'>Gremlin</ent>s, are in error; as <ent type='ORG'>Gremlin</ent> Brzezinski pointed out, when
|
|
the house is under <ent type='ORG'>Gremlin</ent> management, such as <ent type='GPE'>the United States</ent> is today, the

policy maker is largely aloof from the administrative termite.

=============================================================[148]</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>So too, the <ent type='ORG'>IRS</ent> knows exactly what it is doing, just like the <ent type='PERSON'>King</ent>. And its
|
|
present policy of justifying the tax based on a phony hybrid composite blend of
|
|
top-down universal Civil <ent type='PERSON'>Law</ent> and 16th Amendment grounds is in place for just
|
|
one reason: Because at the present time it is to the <ent type='PERSON'>King</ent>'s financial advantage
|
|
to do so, due to baneful public <ent type='ORG'>IGNORANTIA</ent> JURIS. (But remember the <ent type='PERSON'>King</ent>
|
|
propagates this erroneous justification because of the institutionalized
|
|
political banality of most <ent type='NORP'>American</ent>s. Reverse the banality and the <ent type='PERSON'>King</ent> will
|
|
very likely reverse himself). I have a hunch that the <ent type='PERSON'>King</ent>'s reversal will be
|
|
virtually automatic when the time is right. He closely monitors public opinion,
|
|
and he is careful in his public pronouncements. [149]</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>[149]============================================================= It is my
|
|
hunch that a contributing inducement element to the <ent type='PERSON'>King</ent>'s deceptive deflection
|
|
of the justification for the Income Tax, away from our Father's <ent type='ORG'>Common Law</ent> on
|
|
Contracts and towards the phony 16th Amendment, is likely to also indicate the
|
|
presence of a morbid intellectual disorder within the <ent type='PERSON'>King</ent>'s Senior Tax
|
|
Collectors in <ent type='GPE'>Washington</ent>: A disorder of deception. Consider the composite
|
|
conclusions that the psychological fantasy lie, of which Senior <ent type='ORG'>Tax Collectors</ent>
|
|
manifest with the deception, is a sign of intellectual morbidity when strongly
|
|
developed, and additionally, is a symptom of severe pathology [see Helene
|
|
Deustch and <ent type='PERSON'>Paul Roazen</ent>, ON THE PATHOLOGICAL LIE, in <ent type='ORG'>the Journal</ent> of the
|
|
<ent type='NORP'>American</ent> Academy of Psychoanalysis, July, 1982, pages 369 to 386]. Another
|
|
article which explores the clinical need for the operant reconditioning of lie
|
|
therapies to correct structural deception disorders in the <ent type='ORG'>MODUS</ent> OPERANDI of
|
|
people is by <ent type='PERSON'>Robert Langs</ent>, [writing in the INTERNATIONAL <ent type='ORG'>JOURNAL</ent> OF
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>PSYCHOANALYTIC</ent> <ent type='ORG'>PSYCHOTHERAPY</ent>, at pages 3 to 341 (1980-1981)], where he
|
|
discusses psychotherapeutic treatment modalities on the treatment of deception
|
|
disorders, especially psychoanalysis and psychoanalytically oriented
|
|
psychotherapy. Boy, that sounds like just the right medicine for the <ent type='PERSON'>King</ent>'s
|
|
Senior <ent type='ORG'>Tax Collectors</ent>.
|
|
=============================================================[149]</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>So all factors considered, it is unlikely that the <ent type='PERSON'>King</ent> would not switch public
|
|
tax justification positions where it is to his own self-enrichment financial
|
|
advantage to do so. [150]</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>[150]============================================================= <ent type='NORP'>American</ent>
|
|
Jurisprudence, like Nature and society, is stratified into different statuses.
|
|
And people and objects situated within those different strata (statuses) have
|
|
different rights, motivations, and objectives. I am not convinced that there
|
|
are not other secondary elements coming into focus when coming to grips with
|
|
this psychological analysis of the <ent type='PERSON'>King</ent>'s <ent type='ORG'>Tax Collectors</ent> and their deception
|
|
regarding the legal validity and general tax relevancy of the 16th Amendment.

For an interesting discussion on the intricacies of deviant behavior manifested

in people by virtue of the elevated status they hold, see SOCIAL STRATIFICATION

AND DEVIANT BEHAVIOR by <ent type='PERSON'>John Hewitt</ent> [published by <ent type='ORG'>Random House</ent> (1970)]. Mr.

<p>Just as there is deception and lies in the conveyance justification being

offered to <ent type='NORP'>American</ent>s for an unreasonably sized chunk of their wealth, month in
|
|
and month out, year in and year out without any let up in sight, so too was the

|
Income Tax justified on fraudulent terms by <ent type='ORG'>Congress</ent>men who, just like the
|

<ent type='PERSON'>King</ent>'s Senior <ent type='ORG'>Tax Collectors</ent> today, had a pure and perfect picture of their

MAGNUM Torts of deception and lies. Yes, if you were to believe <ent type='ORG'>Congress</ent>men

trying to push the 1913 INCOME TAX ACT through <ent type='ORG'>Congress</ent>, the world was simply

crying out, insisting, and even strongly demanding that they be taxed, fleeced,

and thoroughly looted. [151]</p>

<p>[151]============================================================= "During

recent years there has been a general agitation and demand in almost every

state in the union and in almost every country in the world for intelligent,

that every citizen may be required to contribute to the wants of the <ent type='ORG'>Government</ent>

the Income Tax provision of <ent type='ORG'>the WILSON TARIFF</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>BILL</ent>, a <ent type='ORG'>Congress</ent>man once had a
|
|
few flowery words to say:
|
|
"The passage of the [<ent type='PERSON'>Wilson</ent>] bill will mark the dawn of a brighter day,
|
|
with more sunshine, more of the songs of birds, more of that sweetest music,
|
|
the laughter of children, well fed, well clothed, well housed. Can we doubt
|
|
that in the bright, happier days to come, good, even-handed Democracy shall be
|
|
triumphant? God hasten the era of equality in taxation and in opportunity. And
|
|
God prosper the <ent type='PERSON'>Wilson</ent> bill, first leaf in the book of reform in taxation, the
|
|
promise of a brightening future for those whose genius and labor create the
|
|
wealth of the land, and whose courage and patriotism are the only sure bulwark
|
|
and defense of the Republic."

-Representative <ent type='PERSON'>David</ent> DeArmond, of <ent type='GPE'>Missouri</ent> (1894); [as quoted by
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Frank Chodorov</ent> in THE INCOME TAX, page 41 (Devin-Adair, <ent type='GPE'>New York</ent> 1954)]. Always
|
|
remember that <ent type='PERSON'>David</ent> DeArmond was sent to <ent type='GPE'>Washington</ent> from country folks in
|
|
<ent type='GPE'>Missouri</ent> -- ordinary <ent type='ORG'>Citizen</ent>s just like us all, so to a large extent, he merely
|
|
replicated the indifferent will of his <ent type='ORG'>Constituents</ent> who actually admired a man
|
|
of his pathetic calibre; so before snickering at the clever <ent type='PERSON'>Rothschilds</ent>, we
|
|
need to realize that we did this to ourselves. Although it is popular to
|
|
snicker at <ent type='ORG'>Congress</ent>men, <ent type='ORG'>Congress</ent>men reflect somewhat fairly the judgment
|
|
calibre of their <ent type='ORG'>Constituents</ent>, and so now the correct remedy lies not by
|
|
slothing off responsibility by pointing to someone else and blaming them, and
|
|
not by the selective political criticism of the world's <ent type='ORG'>Gremlin</ent>s (exemplary of
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Birchers</ent> and LaRouchies), but rather by a national internal self-examination
|
|
that originates, like everything else, individually:
|
|
"When politicians discover that the people will turn out in mass to the
|
|
primaries, their hope of controlling delegates in their own interest will
|
|
disappear; and whenever political conventions discover that the people will
|
|
carefully discriminate in the selection of officers, choosing only those who
|
|
live within the <ent type='PERSON'>Law</ent> and who are pledged to support it -- those whose lives and
|
|
characters are above reproach -- then will political parties fear to put up for
|
|
election men who are unworthy. If the people will only exercise their
|
|
privileges as <ent type='NORP'>American</ent> <ent type='ORG'>Citizen</ent>s, they will find in their own hands the power to
|
|
correct our present evils."

|
<p>The <ent type='PERSON'>King</ent>'s policy of keeping the ratio between the Income Tax bracket and the
|
|
percentage tax demanded where it is, is because it lies just below the
|
|
threshold toleration level, although not precisely so. The <ent type='PERSON'>King</ent>'s Agents are
|
|
constantly surveying us folks out here in the countryside to see how many of us
|
|
are in what tax bracket, so the <ent type='PERSON'>King</ent> can reassess how much more tax
|
|
confiscation can be extracted from us without an unmanageable revolt. [153]</p>

<p>[153]============================================================= A <ent type='ORG'>Gremlin</ent>
|
|
once made a <ent type='ORG'>State</ent>ment that is a good representation as to how <ent type='ORG'>Gremlin</ent>s think in
|
|
taxation areas:
|
|
"The problem of the <ent type='ORG'>Government</ent> is to fix rates which will bring in a
|
|
maximum amount of revenue to the <ent type='ORG'>Treasury</ent> and at the same time bear not too
|
|
heavily on the taxpayer or on business enterprises. A sound tax policy must
|
|
take into consideration three factors. It must produce sufficient revenue for
|
|
the <ent type='ORG'>Government</ent>; it must lessen, so far as possible, the burden of taxation on
|
|
those least able to bear it; and it must also remove those influences which
|
|
might retard the continued steady development of business and industry on
|
|
which, in the last analysis, so much of our prosperity depends."

-<ent type='ORG'>Gremlin</ent> Andrew Mellon in TAXATION: <ent type='ORG'>THE PEOPLE</ent>'S BUSINESS, at 9
|
|
[MacMillian Company, <ent type='GPE'>New York</ent> (1924)]. Notice what is important to <ent type='ORG'>Gremlin</ent>s:
|
|
Maximum revenue generation for the <ent type='ORG'>Government</ent>; and maximum taxation from the
|
|
public that can be tolerated, individually and commercially. <ent type='ORG'>Gremlin</ent>s do not
|
|
concern themselves with such pesky little nuisance questions as to whether the
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Government</ent> really has any good cause to spend the money on in the first place;
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Gremlin</ent>s do not concern themselves with the correlative damages experienced by
|
|
folks as important resources are preemptively grabbed from them resulting in a
|
|
deprivation of minimal material needs to support a family. <ent type='ORG'>Gremlin</ent>s do not want
|
|
you and I to have prosperity, they want the <ent type='ORG'>Government</ent> to have the prosperity,

so that once <ent type='ORG'>Government</ent> has got the money, then they can spend it.

|
|
|
<p>It is the possible likelihood that this threshold toleration level would be
|
|
overpassed and broken that concerns certain senior bureaucrats in <ent type='GPE'>Washington</ent>,
|
|
who are wise to the practical secondary consequences such a passing of the
|
|
threshold limit would create. The meaning of this concern is perhaps best
|
|
understood by the 1979 analogy of the oil pricing decisions made by <ent type='NORP'>Saudi</ent>
|
|
Arabia's Oil Minister, <ent type='PERSON'><ent type='PERSON'>Sheik</ent> Admed <ent type='PERSON'>Yamani</ent></ent>. The <ent type='PERSON'>Sheik</ent>'s adamant refusal to raise

<ent type='NORP'>Saudi</ent> crude oil prices above the $40 per barrel limit in the face of such rare

and unusually strong world wide petroleum demand puzzled many observers. [154]</p>

=============================================================[154]</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>From the viewpoint of some folks, the <ent type='PERSON'>Sheik</ent> was passing up on a golden
|
|
opportunity to cream in some extra bucks while the oil boom lasted across those
|
|
several months. To other observers of the passing scene, the <ent type='PERSON'>Sheik</ent> was a friend
|
|
of <ent type='GPE'>the United States</ent>, and was just a good, kind, caring, public welfare
|
|
oriented person who simply had the world's best interests in his heart as he
|
|
refused to raise prices any higher. But the real reason why <ent type='PERSON'>Sheik</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Yamani</ent> was
|
|
trying to keep the oil prices artificially low is the same reason why the
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Congress</ent> has fixed the Income Bracket/Percentage Tax ratios for the Income Tax
|
|
at their present levels: Because raising oil prices to levels above a threshold
|
|
toleration level then equal to higher priced alcohol would cause the universal
|
|
shift to alcohol and other non-crude oil based substitutes, and so oil would
|
|
then not be purchased at all in the future; just like more aggressive Income
|
|
Tax levels would cause folks to simply abandon taxes altogether, thus leaving
|
|
the <ent type='PERSON'>King</ent> with nothing from these folks (as I mentioned that some <ent type='ORG'>Tax Collectors</ent>
|
|
have been concerned about since the 1950's). And that is the great art of
|
|
pricing in business: Keeping prices competitively high, but just below the
|
|
threshold level of rejection. [155]</p>

originates from the <ent type='GPE'>Netherlands</ent>. The author discusses how cartels constrict and

|
enlarge their supply of product as demand changes, in order to maintain high
|
|
prices and prevent cartel members from having an incentive to leave the cartel.
|
|
Under this model assumption, cartels composed of multiple types of firms can
|
|
prosper and enhance revenue with greater efficiency than firms can individually
|
|
outside of the cartel. Once established, cartels act like price leaders in an

|
industry, with the uniqueness, size, and composition of cartels changing
|
|
according to market demand.

model reflecting some sensitivity resulting from demand diffusion, saturation,

and cost reductions through growth in market share and accumulated experience.
|
|
Price and market share dynamics are examined for the presence of a possibly

competitive oligopoly; the authors analyze the pricing geometries of

semiconductor manufacturing companies and conclude that the growth rate of the

demand pricing elasticity in integrated circuits and correlated semiconductor

products contributes significantly to pricing geometries (called PATHS by the

both opportunities and impediments on its competitors. The author creates a

and of the reduction in crude oil demand that gained momentum in 1983; here in

|
|
Those 12 articles are a representative profiling sample of the multiplicity of
|
|
recently appearing divergent views floating around on just one subject matter
|
|
(business cartels and their functional similitudes, and pricing), that are the
|
|
opinions of <ent type='PERSON'>INTELLECTUALS</ent> -- as they go about their work reading,
|
|
contemplating, writing their own opinions, putting in an honest day's work
|
|
generating new theorems like they do. Sometimes they are correct, sometimes
|
|
they are in error, but the one denominator threading its way through all 12
|
|
articles was an omission of some additional factual information here and there
|
|
-- the effect of which would have been to both support and to countermand and
|
|
negate the theorems presented. And as we change settings over to where the imps
|
|
in the major media make their statements on television and in newspapers, they
|
|
too are in error as frequently as <ent type='PERSON'>INTELLECTUALS</ent> are, as a composite blend of
|
|
lack of factual knowledge commingled with recurring overtones of philosophical
|
|
bias and <ent type='ORG'>Gremlin</ent> sponsored malice.
|
|
=============================================================[155]</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>No relationship to cost, no relationship to benefits received, no relationship
|
|
to hard intrinsic value. Just pricing based on Enscrewment (a similar
|
|
conclusion reached by others just cited in the footnote, but they use their own
|
|
proprietary language that removes identification of the moral orientation (for
|
|
good or evil) in the actors. As for pricing within the interior of shared
|
|
monopoly cartels -- this is why sophisticated pricing strategists know that
|
|
charging the highest momentary price the market will support is not necessarily
|
|
the best thing to do for yourself: You may win that battle under unusual
|
|
circumstances, but loose the long term war for several different secondary
|
|
reasons. And our <ent type='PERSON'>King</ent>, with his monopoly, is no different in either motivation
|
|
or strategy. And that concern about likely rejection by ex-<ent type='ORG'>Taxpayer</ent>s is also
|
|
the same reason why sophisticated attorneys who work for the <ent type='PERSON'>King</ent> know that it
|
|
is often best to drop a prosecution, SANS GENE, in a low level Administrative
|
|
or Trial setting, rather than raise the presentation threshold level of the
|
|
grievance to senior judicial appellate forums and risk an adverse appellate
|
|
opinion on appeal that might benefit others, even if unreported. [156]</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>[156]============================================================= The decision
|
|
on whether or not to continue a prosecution at the appellate level is the same
|
|
exercise of discretion that prosecutors exercise when the criminal defendant is
|
|
initially charged with his crimes:
|
|
"The discretionary power... in determining whether a prosecution shall
|
|
be commenced or maintained [on Appeal] may well depend upon matters of policy
|
|
wholly apart from any question of PROBABLE CAUSE."
|
|
-UNITED STATES VS. COX, 342 F.2nd 167, at 171 (1965). Private
|
|
commentators as well have written on the discretion given to prosecuting
|
|
attorneys on the decision when to drop a case in whole or in part, although
|
|
they do not have the judgment to see what a marvelous administrative toll
|
|
PROSECUTOR'S DISCRETION is to keep potentially irritating cases out of
|
|
appellate forums, where even unreported Opinions might spell trouble for the
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>King</ent> in the future:
|
|
"Many persons who are in fact guilty of a crime and who could be
|
|
convicted are either not charged at all, are charged with a less serious
|
|
offense or a smaller number of offenses than the evidence would support, or are
|
|
subjected to informal control processes which do not require formal accusation.
|
|
Although some decisions not to charge or not to charge fully for reasons
|
|
unconnected with probability of guilt are made by the police, the primary
|
|
concern here is with those [decisions that are] made by the prosecutor. With
|
|
rare exceptions, legislatures and appellate judges officially approve of this
|
|
allocation of power to prosecutors, but the precise issue is infrequently
|
|
confronted in appellate litigation and is only occasionally dealt with
|
|
specifically in statutes."

<p>[Incidentally, the <ent type='PERSON'>Rothschilds</ent> and their ideological mentor, <ent type='PERSON'>Karl Marx</ent>, have

but their SUB ROSA political involvement and quiet intellectual sponsorship

required our national consent through acts of own <ent type='NORP'>American</ent> legislatures, which

they got. (So we really did this to ourselves). And so I am only interested in

now addressing things as presently fabricated under <ent type='NORP'>American</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Law</ent>; and since the

<ent type='PERSON'>King</ent> is now collecting Income Taxes exclusively by contract [numerous layers of

invisible contracts difficult to see], only the content of the contract is
|
|
relevant to discuss, when a grievance under the contract later comes up for
|
|
judicial review and enforcement. And so questions, sounding in the Tort of
|
|
unfairness, as to just who ultimately sponsored this grand scenario become
|
|
largely irrelevant, when contracts are in effect. The facts are that the Income

Tax has been around in <ent type='GPE'>the United States</ent> for a long time. The <ent type='NORP'>American</ent>

August 5, 1861 (Chapter 45, Section 49, 12 UNITED STATES STATUTES AT LARGE 292,

Amendments, before <ent type='ORG'>Gremlin</ent> EXTRAORDINAIRE <ent type='PERSON'>Karl Marx</ent> made his appearance on the

scene, Income Taxes were both laid on and successfully collected from, <ent type='NORP'>American</ent>
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Citizen</ent>s. I will discuss both the 14th and 16th Amendments later on, but you
|
|
should be aware that numerous people are arguing that you are not liable for
|
|
the present Income Tax of Title 26, based on infirmities and defenses centered
|
|
around the 14th or 16th Amendments; the information being disseminated by these
|
|
people is both erroneous at <ent type='PERSON'>Law</ent> and factually defective (defective by
|
|
omission). =============================================================[159]</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>But the distinction between those prior belief and transient AD HOC taxing
|
|
occurrences and the present permanent Income Tax is that our contemporary
|
|
Income Tax has an underlying political objective as its primary goal: It was
|
|
originally designed and is now intended to forcibly screw, harm and damage
|
|
people, first, and then to raise revenue as a wealth transfer instrument,
|
|
second. [160]</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>[160]============================================================= I once had a
|
|
conversation with a <ent type='NORP'>Bolshevik</ent> <ent type='ORG'>Gremlin</ent> who works for <ent type='ORG'>the Brookings Institution</ent>
|
|
in <ent type='GPE'>Washington</ent>. There was an aura permeating the atmosphere around him that was
|
|
different, as if there was a demon chill in the air. Sensing this introduction
|
|
to Hell, I almost felt as if I was in <ent type='ORG'>Tubingen University</ent> in <ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent>, swirling
|
|
in the midst of the ghostly political tempest of devilish intrigue that has
|
|
been going on there since the days of <ent type='PERSON'>Fredrich Schiller</ent> and <ent type='PERSON'>George Hegel</ent>
|
|
institutionalized the kinky intellectual which that <ent type='ORG'>University</ent> generates, and
|
|
which ideological flotsam and doctrinal mischief continues on without abatement
|
|
down to the present day with <ent type='PERSON'>Hans Kung</ent> and the Green <ent type='ORG'>Party</ent>. But when this
|
|
conversation drifted over towards the Income Tax, all of a sudden he sparkled
|
|
up a bit, and with a devilishly sneaky cackle and a crooked grin that stretched
|
|
fully from one ear over to the other, this little <ent type='NORP'>Bolshevik</ent> <ent type='ORG'>Gremlin</ent> then
|
|
immediately blurted out his high approval of the Income Tax by saying that
|
|
"...Oh, we don't want to enrich them too quickly." He seemed excessively
|
|
concerned, even fixated, on their objective that the countryside be allowed
|
|
only minimum subsistence income levels. I really got the message from him, loud
|
|
and clear, that they deem our deprivation of wealth to be of maximum importance
|
|
to them and their damages enscrewment objectives.
|
|
=============================================================[160]</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Creating damages through such devices as a national Tax on Incomes, as a tool
|
|
for conquest, is very important to international <ent type='NORP'>Bolsheviks</ent>, particularly since
|
|
they thrive in an atmosphere where the true seminal point of beginning of
|
|
national destruction is obscure and difficult to see; and very few folks see
|
|
the Income Tax as the great tool of destruction that it is. [161]</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>[161]============================================================= For a highly
|
|
detailed, thorough, and technical discussion on the damaging relationship in
|
|
effect between Income Taxation and economic growth, see <ent type='PERSON'>Vito Tanzi</ent> in THE
|
|
INDIVIDUAL INCOME TAX AND ECONOMIC GROWTH: AN INTERNATIONAL COMPARISON [John
|
|
Hopkins <ent type='ORG'>Press</ent> (1969); revised and redated in 1980]. There is also a damages
|
|
relationship in effect between inflation and the Income Tax -- see <ent type='PERSON'>Vito Tanzi</ent>
|
|
in his book entitled INFLATION AND PERSONAL INCOME TAX: AN INTERNATIONAL
|
|
PERSPECTIVE, written for <ent type='ORG'>the International Monetary Fund</ent> [<ent type='GPE'>Cambridge</ent> <ent type='ORG'>University</ent>
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Press</ent> (1981)]. Yes, progressive taxation on net profits is the very element
|
|
itself that causes civilizations to fall -- a fact that <ent type='ORG'>Gremlin</ent>s do not want us
|
|
to take cognizance of, or otherwise give much thought to. ...When acquiring new
|
|
information (or enlarging the factual basis one has to exercise judgment on),
|
|
one sometimes looks back and realizes that the behavior once deemed acceptable
|
|
in another era is now unacceptable; so too will Tax <ent type='PERSON'>Protestor</ent>s take upon
|
|
themselves knowledge of invisible juristic contracts and then when looking back
|
|
realize the possibility, however remote, that the actual tax protestings once
|
|
exhibited in another era may have been technically improvident for any one of
|
|
several reasons unknown at an earlier time. This practice of acquiring more
|
|
knowledge, and then discarding some outmoded behavior of a previous era, is a
|
|
recognized sign of organic intellectual enlightenment by the Judiciary. In
|
|
1970, the Alaska <ent type='ORG'>Supreme Court</ent> once ruled that regardless of past thinking and
|
|
past expectations surrounding criminal proceedings, things were now going to
|
|
different:
|
|
"We reach a point when the crudities of an earlier age must be
|
|
abandoned."
|
|
-<ent type='PERSON'>BAKER</ent> VS. CITY OF FAIRBANKS, 471 P.2nd 386, at 403 (1970). And that
|
|
therefore, TRIAL BY JURY is now required in all <ent type='NORP'>Alaskan</ent> <ent type='ORG'>State</ent> criminal
|
|
prosecutions [overruling the previous common practice of making Trial by Jury
|
|
requisite only when the prospective duration of incarceration exceeded six
|
|
months.] Just as Judges publicly express regrets over their previous judgment
|
|
-- exercised in an era when they thought they were doing the right thing by
|
|
coming down hard on criminals clear across the board, so too should Tax
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Protestor</ent>s take qualified cognizance of the possibility that latent error might
|
|
also be present in their judgments as well.

<p>[163]============================================================= When

the incredible <ent type='ORG'>State</ent> Income Taxes that <ent type='PERSON'>Nelson Rockefeller</ent> was demanding, and

getting, out of the <ent type='ORG'>Legislature</ent>. But the <ent type='ORG'>TIMES</ent> was lying, as it is very good
|

at, as the Editors knew then that the attraction of the Southern <ent type='ORG'>Sun Belt</ent> did
|
|
not explain why a large volume of the corporate exodus out of <ent type='GPE'>New York</ent> City
|
|
went north into states like <ent type='GPE'>Connecticut</ent> (which had no state personal or
|
|
corporate taxes in the 1960's), <ent type='GPE'>New Hampshire</ent> and <ent type='GPE'>Vermont</ent>. Business managers
|

were also lying in their public explanations of corporate exodus, as I
|
|
mentioned earlier in the context of deception in Commercial dynasties, as they
|
|
deflected attention away from <ent type='PERSON'>Nelson</ent>'s <ent type='ORG'>State</ent> Income Tax, into such nice soft
|
|
areas of "employee preferences" and the like. The closest point the <ent type='GPE'>NEW YORK</ent>
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>TIMES</ent> came to in hitting the nail right on the head (in this area of corporate
|
|
geographical exodus to avoid unreasonable taxation), came during the reign of

Governor <ent type='PERSON'>Hugh Carey</ent> in 1977, when the <ent type='GPE'>New York</ent> <ent type='ORG'>State</ent> <ent type='ORG'>Senate</ent> Labor Committee

under Chairman <ent type='PERSON'>Norman Levy</ent>, out from underneath the thumb of <ent type='PERSON'>Nelson</ent>

income taxes were the propulsion force driving their relocation plans [see the

<ent type='ORG'>Gremlin</ent>s trying hard to run a country into the ground, need generally look no

|

|
<p>[164]============================================================= Although the
|
|
income tax on profits is the true source of economic stagnation, as <ent type='ORG'>Gremlin</ent>s
|
|
strive to run one civilization into the ground after another -- here their
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>MODUS</ent> OPERANDI of deception surfaces again, because when <ent type='ORG'>Gremlin</ent>s and their
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>INTELLIGENTSIA</ent> imps try to explain away the true source of a long term
|
|
declension in national economic prosperity, they will invariably turn around
|
|
and point attention over to their irritant: <ent type='GPE'>INDIVIDUALS</ent>:
|
|
"The nineteenth century had accepted as one of its basic faiths the
|
|
theory of 'the harmony of interests.' This held that what was good for the
|
|
individual was good for the society as a whole and that the general advancement
|
|
of society could be achieved best if individuals were left free to seek their
|
|
own individual advantages. This harmony was assumed to exist between one
|
|
individual and another, between the individual and the group, and between the
|
|
short run and the long run. In the nineteenth century, such a theory was
|
|
perfectly tenable, but in the twentieth century it could only be accepted with
|
|
considerable modification [that's right -- remember, folks, this is the <ent type='ORG'>MODERN</ent>
|
|
era, and you just don't need to concern yourself with the past]. As a result of
|
|
persons seeking their individual advantages, the economic organization of
|
|
society was so modified that the actions of one such person were very likely to
|
|
injure his fellows, the society as a whole, and his own long-range advantage
|
|
[just somehow]. This situation led to such a conflict between theory and
|
|
practice, between aims and accomplishments, between individuals and groups,
|
|
that a return to fundamentals in economics became necessary [meaning total
|
|
top-down <ent type='ORG'>Gremlin</ent> control of the economy]."

|
|
exercising their own judgment, managing their own affairs, and trying to be
|
|
responsible for themselves as the embryo <ent type='PERSON'>Eloheim</ent> that they are, have long been
|
|
a recurring source of irritation to <ent type='ORG'>Gremlin</ent>s [see <ent type='ORG'>INDIVIDUALISM</ent> AND <ent type='ORG'>SOCIALISM</ent>

too late, to realize that they had repeated the same doctrinal error here in
|
|
the Second Estate over a protracted period of time that they previously
|
|
committed once before in the First Estate, and also over a protracted period of
|
|
time. And there are several very good reasons why <ent type='GPE'>INDIVIDUALS</ent> are so irritating
|
|
to <ent type='ORG'>Gremlin</ent>s, one of which is:
|
|
"The most basic, fundamental Principle of truth, that upon which the
|
|
entire plan of God is founded, is free agency. As an Individual, you have the
|
|
right to govern yourself. It is divinely given to you to think and act as you
|
|
wish. It is your decision.
|
|
"It must be pointed out, however, that although you have the free
|
|
agency to choose for yourself, you do not have the right to choose what will be
|
|
the result of your decision. The results of what you think and do are governed
|
|
by law. Good returns good. Evil returns evil [throughout this Letter, I will
|
|
cite examples on how the violation of Principles will always generate latent
|
|
secondary adverse circumstances out in the future, with the seminal point of
|
|
origin of those secondary adverse circumstances being latent [invisible] and
|
|
difficult to see]. You govern yourself by subjecting yourself to the discipline
|
|
of the law. If you are obedient to God's law, you remain free. You progress and
|
|
are perfected. If you are disobedient to God's law, you bind yourself to that
|
|
which restricts your progress. You become defiled and unworthy to be an
|
|
associate with those who are more clean and pure."

<p>and quiet national economic enscrewment still another. [166]</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>[166]============================================================= "The real
|
|
effect of a tax on profits is to make the country possess at any given period,
|
|
a smaller capital and smaller aggregate production, and to make the stationary
|
|
state be attained earlier, and with a smaller sum of national wealth [yes, the
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Gremlin</ent>s know exactly what they are doing]. It is possible that a tax on
|
|
profits might even diminish the existing capital of the country. If the rate of
|
|
profit is already at the practical minimum, that is, at the point at which all
|
|
that portion of the annual increment which would tend to reduce profits is
|
|
carried off either by exportation or by speculation; then if a tax is imposed
|
|
which reduces profits still lower, the same causes which previously carried off
|
|
the increase would probably carry off a portion of the existing capital. A tax
|
|
on profits is thus, in a state of capital and accumulation like that in
|
|
<ent type='GPE'>England</ent>, extremely detrimental to the national wealth. And this effect is not
|
|
confined to the case of a peculiar, and therefore intrinsically unjust, tax on
|
|
profits. The mere fact that profits have to bear their share of a heavy general
|
|
taxation, tends, in the same manner as a peculiar tax, to drive capital abroad,
|
|
to stimulate imprudent speculations by diminishing safe gains, to discourage
|
|
further accumulation, and to accelerate the attainment of the stationary state
|
|
[this STATIONARY STATE is the great <ent type='ORG'>Gremlin</ent> objective where trade atrophies,
|
|
business dies from strangulation, and commerce stops altogether, as they run
|
|
one civilization into the ground after another]. This is thought to have been
|
|
the principal cause of the decline of <ent type='GPE'>Holland</ent>, or rather of her having ceased
|
|
to make progress [and until <ent type='GPE'>the United States</ent> gets rid of the <ent type='ORG'>Gremlin</ent>s that are

now running the show, then we are next]."

minimal; Tax <ent type='PERSON'>Protestor</ent>s are being frowned upon by the general public at large,

the Income Tax is now accomplishing its <ent type='NORP'>Bolshevik</ent> political mission in the

Accomplishing countermanding objectives in this area is the art of constructing
|
|
cogent arguments -- arguments in legal briefs in your tax cases; arguments to
|
|
others to catalytically trigger another supporting view; and arguments to
|
|
taxing legislative jurisdictions. As it pertains to the presentation of
|
|
arguments to legislative (as they largely freely pick and choose the
|
|
reciprocity demands of contracts they have folks locked into by having first
|
|
thrown an array of benefits at them), argument making itself is an art:
|
|
"The purpose of arguments is to persuade the policy maker that the
|
|
public interest would be promoted by the adoption of a tax proposal which would
|
|
financially benefit its advocates. Regarding some proposals, the direct
|
|
financial interest of a great majority of people may be quiet clear. Such
|
|
proposals rarely create active tax issues. Regarding other proposals, the
|
|
public interest may be difficult to ascertain. The amount of direct cost or
|
|
benefit involved to each member of the public may be so small and uncertain
|
|
that other tests of the public interest takes on great importance. It is to
|
|
these indirect and somewhat subtle interest objectives that arguments are
|
|
commonly addressed. The nature of the arguments will appear from an example.
|
|
When the witness for a taxpayer interest group appears at hearings before the
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Congress</ent>ional taxing committee, he does not merely say, and often does not say
|
|
at all: "Please adopt our proposal because it would benefit us." It is always
|
|
assumed that each witness thinks his group would be benefited by the action he
|
|
proposes. The argument [presented] is usually on a high plane of public
|
|
welfare. The witness may indeed point out that his industry is subject to an
|
|
unusual hardship, but even in this case the testimony usually goes beyond the
|
|
private benefit to consider the public interest."
|
|
[A rare exception to this rule happened when, for example, a
|
|
<ent type='ORG'>Congress</ent>man once snorted a statement to a representative of the NATIONAL
|
|
COUNCIL OF SALESMAN'S ORGANIZATIONS, who was in <ent type='ORG'>Congress</ent> lobbying for a repeal
|
|
of some excise taxes they didn't feel like paying]:
|
|
"Why don't they get together and tell us how repeal would
|
|
benefit the country, instead of each trying to tell us how it would benefit his
|
|
own industry?"

-<ent type='PERSON'>Roy Blough</ent> in THE ARGUMENT PHASE OF <ent type='ORG'>TAXPAYER</ent> POLITICS, 17 <ent type='ORG'>University</ent>
|
|
of <ent type='GPE'>Chicago</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Law</ent> Review 604, at 605 (1950). Other than for that lone wolf
|
|
exception, witnesses do not normally argue that their proposals would benefit
|
|
themselves, but generally deflect attention of to some high and noble national
|
|
welfare objective. This is an idea <ent type='ORG'>Patriots</ent> might take time to think about
|
|
because one of the reasons <ent type='ORG'>Federal Judges</ent> come down so hard on Tax <ent type='PERSON'>Protestor</ent>s
|
|
is because the judge views the <ent type='PERSON'>Protestor</ent> as being a self-centered cheap person
|
|
immorally pursuing his own self-enrichment; the background factual information
|
|
possessed by the <ent type='PERSON'>Protestor</ent> (of his knowledge of that tax, if surrendered over
|
|
to the <ent type='NORP'>Bolsheviks</ent> in <ent type='GPE'>Washington</ent>, would only accelerate the destruction of his
|
|
own Country) is factual knowledge on conspiracy and <ent type='ORG'>Gremlin</ent> intrigue largely
|
|
unknown, unappreciated, and unseen by Judges. The presentation of these
|
|
historical background arguments to the Judge are arguments that are sounding in
|
|
the Tort of unfairness, and cannot be considered on their merits whenever
|
|
contracts are in effect; only the <ent type='ORG'>Patriot</ent>'s total and thorough decontamination
|
|
of himself, away from the adhesive juristic environment that characterizes the
|
|
<ent type='PERSON'>King</ent>'s <ent type='ORG'>Equity</ent> Jurisdiction, has any hope of allowing the DE MINIMIS entrance
|
|
into your arguments of evidence countermanding the Judge's quiet assumption of
|
|
your cheapness as a person, by talking about the illicit legislative motives
|
|
that were very much present when those taxation statutes were either enacted
|
|
(or alleged to have been enacted). But important for the moment is the general
|
|
lack of concern by <ent type='ORG'>Patriots</ent> in the quality of the arguments and the flow of the
|
|
logical continuity presented therein, but in order to see our own error, we
|
|
must develop the ability to see and evaluate these arguments from the Judge's
|
|
perspective; not an easy thing to do, as Judges are approaching the issue
|
|
totally different from us. For an abstract theoretical model in how to do so,
|
|
see <ent type='PERSON'>Wayne Grennan</ent> in ARGUMENT EVALUATION [<ent type='ORG'>University</ent> <ent type='ORG'>Press</ent> of America, <ent type='GPE'>Lanham</ent>,
