I don't enjoy shopping as most females do. If I can't buy it online, then its probably not worth buying. I did encounter something Thursday, that I was forced to just shake my head at. I saw an advertisement for a company called displayed in their title, "Proud Americans". I wanted to order a new stand for my Ipad, and they happened to have one that appealed to me. I attempted to place the order on line, which is nothing out of the ordinary for me, I do this often, and with no problems. However during the checkout process, I got a messesge, not once, but 3 times that read "error during checkout, not successful". Considering I am not a patient person, I went to another site and place the order. Later that day, looking at my bank account on line, I saw the first company did in fact charge me for the transaction. No big deal, I attempted to contact them via email, (got another error msg) then by phone. I called the 800 number, guess who answered? I don't actually know because I could not understand them! I do what I always do in this case, and ask for someone that speaks English. I was finally routed to a man that spoke poor English, but at least I could understand it. I ultimately posed the question to him, "where is your company located", answer, "India". I mentioned the American owned information on the website, and Abu told me, he did think the company had a Canadian ower. Hardly American!  Needless to say, I stopped the charges.  Watch who you buy from.

Next Page1| 2Previous PageFRANKFORT, Ky. — The Senate approved controversial legislation Friday that would expand the state's authority to enforce federal immigration law, sending it to the House where it faces uncertain prospects at best.The vote on Senate Bill 6 was 24-14, with all Republicans voting yes and all Democrats except Sen. Ray Jones of Pikeville voting no.Most Democrats warned that the cost of the bill for state and local governments has not been determined — and they said that cost will be big.But the bill's sponsor, Sen. John Schickel, R-Union, said the growing problem of illegal immigration is an urgent threat to the safety of Kentuckians.“We must protect our citizens, even if it's inconvenient, uncomfortable or too costly to do so,” Schickel said.House Speaker Greg Stumbo, D-Prestonsburg, said after the Senate vote that in his chamber SB 6 has “a lot of hills to climb. Aside from the policy issues involved, there's a concern about the fiscal impact of the bill.”The measure includes provisions that authorize police to attempt to determine a person's immigration status if he or she is stopped for another reason, such as a traffic violation, and is suspected of being an illegal immigrant.It also bans communities from adopting ordinances to limit immigration enforcement, creates the offense of trespassing for those in the state without legal status and makes it a crime for anyone to assist such a person in coming to live in the state.The bill is modeled on a controversial Arizona law, the enforcement of which was blocked last summer by a federal judge.Among other things, that law requires state officers to check a person’s immigration status while enforcing other laws and mandates that immigrants carry their papers at all times.Supporters of the Kentucky bill said at a packed Senate committee hearing on Thursday that illegal immigrants are driving up the costs of such things as emergency medical care and other community services.Opponents, including the Catholic Conference of Kentucky, said it offers only punitive measures with no solutions for law-abiding undocumented immigrants.(2 of 2)“Not only does it do nothing to repair the damage we suffer because federal lawmakers failed to act (on the problem), it damages the social fabric of our Kentucky community,” the Catholic Conference said in a statement Friday.In the Senate on Friday, it was the cost issue that was the main point raised by Democrats who opposed the bill.Senate Democratic Floor Leader R.J. Palmer of Winchester unsuccessfully tried to delay the vote on SB 6 because he said it did not carry a thorough fiscal impact statement, as required by Senate rules.However, Majority Leader Robert Stivers, R-Manchester, said a legislative staff analysis of the impact on the corrections systems for the original version of SB 6 was sufficient to meet the Senate's rules.Still, Sen. Kathy Stein, D-Lexington, said passing the bill would lead to higher costs for jails, local law enforcement, courts, and social service agencies.“It's one of the most fiscally irresponsible things we can do this session,” she said.Sen. Jerry Rhoads, D-Madisonville, said the bill is “actually a much harsher, stricter bill than the Arizona bill.”Jones said he voted for the bill because illegal immigration is a serious problem that should be addressed this session. But he also warned that the bill carries an undetermined cost.“And it's going to take money out of higher education, it's going to take money out of elementary and secondary education, it's going to take money from state police, it's going to take money from our local governments,” Jones said.But Schickel said the bill would also reduce certain costs now being paid.“Think of the fiscal impact of what we are doing now ... filling up our emergency rooms with people that are illegal aliens and have no insurance, the fiscal impact of people being illegally in our schools,” he said.Sen. Tom Jensen, R-London, said that despite his reservations about some details in the bill, it represents an important step in addressing a serious problem.“What this bill really does is send a message,” Jensen said. “It sends a message to the rest of our country and to foreign countries that we do not tolerate people coming into this country illegally.”Next Page1| 2Previous Page

Another piece falls into place:                                                                      

In a press conference last week Obama was not wearing his wedding ring nor his watch. When noticed, his staff said his ring was out for repairs.  No reason was given for the missing watch.

 

So ?   Is it just a coincidence that Muslims are forbidden from wearing jewelry during the month of Ramadan ?

Can't possibly be that, because although he hasn't gone to a Christian church service since entering the White House, we know he's a committed Christian 'cause he said so during the campaign.

 

....And I've got a bridge to sell you also.

The Price of Fuel

I understand we need to fight Obama care, but we have a problem with the price of groceries and fuel. We need to band together and get Obama's attention. The gulf needs to be opened back up. The drilling on land needs to be open up. Groceries are going up every day it seems. All of us who are on fixed incomes with no raises and being cut at the same time. Help everyone I need help. Contact your Representatives and Senators. We have to put a stop to this before it gets worse.

Health care and pension ideas

Hoping all had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

 

What is our theme for the New Year?  Maybe it should be taking care of the hard working middle class of America.  Getting the unemployed back to work, protecting the pensions of the middle class and securing the future of America.  If the House of Representatives will generate bills which have the middle class best interests at hand we know that the Senate will reject these bills.  We know that only 31% of Americans consider themselves Democrats.  Can we persuade 60% of the remaining 69% of Americans to join our cause?  I believe we are already doing this.

 

One may want to consider protecting the pensions of the middle class as a starting point.  If the House of Representatives passes a bill addressing under funded pensions (unions, non-profit, and profit entities), the Senate would surly reject this bill.  This Senate rejection would set the stage for the Senate being against the middle class's financial future.  What would be necessary, only restrict non essential expenditures of all entities with under funded pension positions.  Pension need to be funded at least by 80%.  If pensions are not 80% funded no executive bonuses, political contributions, executive retreats, executive perks, and any and all non essential expenditures are required by law to be stopped.  If this law is disregarded a mandatory 25 year jail sentence would be forthcoming to entity executives and board of directors.  .  The Senate will reject this House of Representatives bill due to the stoppage of union political contributions.  This action will put the Senator's future above the working people they claim to represent.  This bill will set the stage for the remaining two years prior to the election of 2012.

 

The next thing is to address the Health Care Bill.  The House of Representatives needs to acknowledge the U.S. Constitutions separation of powers.  Acknowledge the balance of power between the President, Congress, and Judicial branches.  The House needs to acknowledge the responsibility and the authority of their individual branch of government.  A Federal Judge has ruled the Health Care bill as unconstitutional.  This ruling means at this time the Health Care Bill passed is deemed null and void.  The House needs to address the authority of the Judicial Branch and move in a bill to at this time stop all Health Care Bill activity.  The Senate will reject this action by the House setting the stage for the Senate violating their oath of office.  This House action will divide the Congress.  The Supreme Court will have to resolve this issue.  The Supreme Court will be required to decide if the Health Care Bill is deemed null and void at this time.  The Supreme Court will also have to decide it all Health Care activities can continue or be stopped.  If the Supreme Court decides that the Health Care Bill is deemed null and void at this time and the Senate failed to recognize the responsibility and authority of the Judicial Branch then Harry Reid and Vice President Biden who presides our the Senate are in violation of their oath of office and are required by the U.S. Constitution to be permeably remove from Federal Office.

An Open Letter to the People's House

In that the Republican House is Tea Party directed, I’ve some thoughts for the members regarding our God-given rights. We have reached the point in the history of mankind that we must take stock of where we are going, lest be become history written in the rocks.  It is up to you, our representatives, to redirect our thinking.  So, getting down to the basics, our God-given rights being questioned, we all have the God-given right, first and foremost, to exist on the fruits of our labor, now and in the future. We are not herd animals. We were each created with reason, and the right and responsibility to cope on our own. The hypocritical activist courts refuse to hear the case, thereby granting the IRS the authority to make limitless “errors,” and Congress to spend money that has been lawlessly taken from working people. The members of the People’s House have not been living up to their oaths of office. The income tax and the IRS must be eliminated.

 

The Bible, unlike the Koran, is not a religious book. It is the moral history of man. In Genesis 1:26, “And God said, Let us make man in our image,” and Jesus, said to the “Son of Man,” he is not the exclusive property of Christianity. Therefore, when man defames Jesus he is the same as saying he hates himself.  That needs to be made clear in the law. The law must not deprive anyone of his right to express his faith in Jesus. It is the same as saying he has faith in his fellow man.

 

Jesus said in the Lord’s Prayer, “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.” We can assume we are not the only life in the universe. Jesus said, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness.”  In your oath of office, you recognize Higher Law as the background of the Constitution, to which you have sworn to protect and defend.  The Higher Law and the Constitution don’t exist in a place. The law is neither here nor there; it is in a state. It is universal; it is selfless. The laws you pass are subservient to Higher Law, the basis of moral and ethical conduct, which gives each of us inalienable rights that may not be taken, as well as personal responsibility for our lives, and not only our lives but the lives of future generations. You members of the People’s House have no authority under Higher Law and the Constitution to threaten the lives of future generations by raising the debt ceiling. 

 

May you all be blessed with the wisdom and courage that made America the greatest nation of all times.

 

Note: Hey, Tea Party members, Phil DiJoseph has a good idea—surveys. Let’s make the “People’s House” what it says. We must realize that our representatives are not in our place. They come with great expectations, but we must consider that they are under terrific pressure to make deals with socialist control freaks like the wiener, Congressman Wiener, to come up with solutions that only party correct the multiplying wrongs, wrongs exceeding the corrections since Franklin D. Roosevelt.  

 

Congressman Boehner, Speaker of the House, is a humble, good, sweet, sensitive guy in a school of sharks dying to eat him alive, who really needs our input to give him the courage he needs. We need to establish liaison with the People’s House.  I suggest that you give my thoughts prayerful consideration, add or take away until we reach consensus, and then send our Tea Party conclusions to our representatives as a guide. If they don’t follow our guide, then we know we must replace them at the next election.

First Step to Fixing Government

Elected Officials should be 1 Term only with no Pentions and Medical benefits when they leave office. Then you will see who really wants to help the country when you take these gigantic insentives away. I had a life long friend who was an elected official. I asked him why he wanted to do this job. He replied to me. " How long do you have to work to get a Pention."  I said, 30 years. He then replied, " In 4 years I'll have a pention and medical benefits. How can you beat that. " Do I have to say any more. Why don't you Americans get it. It's what your all working for. Isn't it ?  Believe it or not, it's one of the huge perks for getting into office. As you know there are many others. Do you really think they give a grap about you. The new republicans will go bad with the rest of the bad apples. It's just the law of nature.

Pelosi

I really enjoyed seeing Pelosi turn that gavel over today.  I am not a violent person, but found myself saying out loud, just turn around and give her one good whack with that gavel, a little boost to get her butt out of there.  Good bye Nancy!

I hope you all had a great Christmas and a New Year filled with hope for our movement, our families and our sacred Republic.

If I owe you a response I will get it to you, I am in catch up mode right now!

The Lesser of Evils

You’ve done it folks! Republicans, thanks to the Tea Party, now have control of the “People’s House.” The new Speaker, after taking his oath that he would protect and defend our Constitution, was congratulated.  This humble man deserves all that we can give him in guidance.  Now our work begins of taking back our God-given rights, and our people in Congress will be with us. They say they are taking orders from us.  We of the Tea Party individually chose the Tea Party. Individually, we are chosen to accomplish this feat, not our representatives in Washington. Listen to what I tell you and those we put in office will do our bidding because what I tell you is your inner will.

 

Currently, the lesser of evils is to raise the debt ceiling. Currently, there are a lot of ideas going back and forth. Indecision is apparent. At the forming of the union, the lesser of the evils was seen as slavery.  At the time, the South’s economy was at stake. Slavery was for the good of all. The Supreme Court, in light of the needs of the time, sided with slavery.  The Civil War made the decision that slavery was the greater evil. America paid a hell of a price for the mistake of doing what was for the good of all. We are still paying. It is a lesson to remember.

 

In 2008, the lesser of the evils was seen as bailing out corrupt Wall Street.  It’s still the same. In 2011, the lesser of the evils is seen as raising the debt ceiling. It’s like being caught in a bear trap and the only solution is to cut off a foot; otherwise we perish. I’ll guarantee you that most people, rather than cut off a foot, would hope and pray for a miracle. Well, I’m going to tell you the miracle that will get us out of the bear trap we’re in.

 

The purpose of the law is to prevent being caught in a bear trap.  Having said this, it is customary in our time to ascribe legality as well as supremacy to the Constitution, legality being the form of law, supremacy being the moral and ethical values of the law, the one in truth but the obverse of the other.  That which is legal is a general expression of the law—whatever pleases our judges having the force of law; we the people yield our God-given rights, ostensibly, for the good of all.

 

At the cost of his life, Jesus declared: “seek ye first the Kingdom of God.”  That has no place in America’s current law, declared Elena Kagan, Obama’s last pick of Supreme Court judges, and approved by the Senate.  We do not have God-given rights under America’s current law.  Do not depend on Congress to protect your rights.  Your representatives consider only what is for the good of all.  You would think of all people Obama would know it is wrong.  He needs to be reminded that if it were not for Abraham Lincoln he would be an American slave.  Lincoln was not thinking in terms of what was for the good of all. Like Jesus, Lincoln paid with his life for thinking what Higher Law says.

 

Well, here we are, folks, caught in a bear trap. What to do? I’ve told you what I did. I’m going to tell you again. I studied the Constitution and my protections under it in the country library. Make this distinction: I did not go to law school to learn the customary way.  I learned the law and my protections. I used my common sense; that is, what was best for me, not what was for the good of all.  I felt that voices of the past were speaking to me, encouraging me. I had a bigger than life calling.

 

I challenged federal income tax as being unconstitutional.  Make a mental note of this: income tax is the only way to be heard in a court of law on your God-given rights. You have a personal stake in the outcome. 

 

When I went out on a limb for my God-given rights, I was aware that long ago the federal judiciary had ruled that the income tax was constitutional, and had many times since ruled that the income tax had not changed so much that it was unconstitutional.  Income tax has often been ruled illegal, but not unconstitutional.  When I petitioned the Tax Court, I could only be heard on the question of legality.  The Tax Court ruled that the IRS had illegally taxed me.  The IRS gave me back my sweat, that which it had illegally taken from me, which put me on the street, by the way.  Was that not a violation of the supremacy of the Constitution? Not according to America’s courts of law, who see it as an “error.” Mistakes will be made. It can’t be helped. Let’s take a  closer look at this “error” and judge whether the  courts are not lawless frauds but honestly interpreting our Constitution.  

 

The IRS made another “error.” The IRS confiscated my property again after the Tax Court ruled that it was in error.   I appealed to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on the ground that the continuing errors were unconstitutional. The Court ruled for the IRS.  The IRS was allowed to keep my sweat it confiscated (in error).  I petitioned the Supreme Court. The Solicitor General told the Supreme Court that the IRS made an “error.” He didn’t tell the Court that the IRS was making error after error.  My case was not heard. The IRS kept what it had confiscated in “error.”  I filed a complaint in the District Court, for a third time. This time the judge didn’t dismiss my claim. Before I was heard, the Department of Justice told the Court that the IRS made an “error.”  The money confiscated was refunded.  Then the IRS went to my bank and confiscated every cent in my checking account.

 

I took the record to The Palm Beach Post.  The Post investigated. The IRS admitted on the front page of the Post that it had been in “error” many times and that the bank seizure was another “error.”  Was this an “error” or a violation of my God-given rights?  Whatever, the IRS ate its humble pie.  That was the end of it.  Does the end justify the means even when the means is lawless? Your judges say the end justifies the means. What say you?

 

As a general rule, the commands of law givers, sanctioned by the courts, is the law, whatever the case may be.  Is it lawful to tax incomes to the extent that some workers can’t exist, merely on the ground that it is for the good of all?   If this is the case, why couldn’t robbery be for the good all?  In fact, it is. The question isn’t whether or not to increase the debt. Common sense says the IRS is a lawless bandit.  We’ve got a long way to go and a short time to get there.

 

By standing up for my God-given rights—“seek ye first the kingdom of God,” said Jesus—my personal power became miraculous. I opened the bear trap and kept my foot. Not only did the IRS eat crow, but many miracles followed. When everything should have gone wrong, everything went right. I’m not a member of any religious faith. On my own, in a very real way, Jesus became my savior and redeemer. I can tell you from personal experience that Jesus is there for all of us.  If I could convince every member of Tea Party that there is a Higher Law that protects the individual’s right to life, liberty, and property, and it is there for each of us to use, we would not look to Washington ever again for leadership. We would look within for the God that exists in each of us, who has blessed us, my dear friends, and lead our representatives in paths of righteousness. I’m merely repeating what our Constitution says.  Don’t allow self-serving authorities to rob you of your rights. Our reason and logic is fundamental to the law. With it, we can climb the highest mountain, be anyone we want to be.  All of our dreams will come true if only we will look within.

Press Office 202-646-5172, ext 305

Washington, DC

Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that it has obtained documents from New York City Mayor Bloomberg’s office that show his office was instrumental in helping Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, his wife Daisy Khan and their partner Sharif el-Gamal obtain approval for a massive mosque and “community center” to be built in the shadow of Ground Zero, the site of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

The documents, obtained by Judicial Watch pursuant to an open records request and related lawsuit, included email correspondence between top officials inside the Mayor’s office and supporters of the Ground Zero Mosque, a project spearheaded by the Rauf-led Cordoba Initiative. Among the highlights:

  • A May 10, 2010, email from Daisy Khan, listed as Executive Director of the American Society for Muslim Advancement, to Fatima Shama, Commissioner of the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs: “Is there a good time to chat tomorrow. We need some guidance on how to tackle the opposition.”
  • A letter supporting the Ground Zero Mosque drafted by Nazi Parvizi, Commissioner of the Mayor’s Community Affairs Unit, to Julie Menin, Chairman of Manhattan’s Community Board 1, which had considered a resolution supporting the mosque. Parvizi crafted the letter for Daisy Khan’s signature, asking the board to temporarily withdraw the mosque resolution due to public outrage over the project. Parvizi described the purpose of the letter in a May 15, 2010, email: “What the letter will do, I hope, is get the media’s attention off everyone’s backs and give you guys time to regroup on your strategy as discussed…”
  • A legal review of the Menin letter sent to the Mayor’s office by Rauf on May 15, 2010. The letter contemplates the impact withdrawing the Community Board 1 resolution could have on the effort to de-designate the mosque site as a historical landmark at a June 22, 2010, Landmark Commission meeting, thus allowing the project to move forward:

    “The Borough President (and Councilmember Chin) have a firm policy at speaking up at public agencies only after the community board has taken a position on an item. So withdrawing the resolution may affect their thinking about how helpful they can be on June 22. That in itself may not be fatal to getting [the site] de-designated but I do know that [Landmark Commission] Chairman Tierney was looking forward to having the ‘political cover’ their support would bring him.” The Landmark Commission ultimately decided to de-designate the property.

     

  • A May 7, 2010, congratulations email from Shama to Rauf, Khan and el-Gamal after the Community Board 1 finance subcommittee expressed support for the Ground Zero Mosque project: “Again-congratulations!!! This is very exciting for all of you and the community at large! Daisy, as always – you were AMAZING last night – thank you!”
  • A May 7, 2010, email from Khan to Rauf, el-Gamal and Shama after the finance subcommittee vote: “Just spoke with Commissioner Nazli Parvizi. She will call Julie Mennon [sic] to thank them for passing the resolution and ask how she can assist.”
  • A January 2010 email exchange documenting Shama’s successful attempt to expedite a temporary public assembly permit so supporters of the Ground Zero Mosque could conduct prayers at the site.
  • A series of email exchanges regarding a September 18, 2009, meeting between Shama, Rauf, el-Gamal, Khan and others from the Ground Zero Mosque project. A September 22, 2009, follow-up email summarized the meeting: “It was wonderful to be with everyone…on Friday night…Fatima mentioned that there are a number of concrete next steps that need to be undertaken re: the Cordoba House. In terms of a point person and centralized contact, please advise Fatima as to whom she should be in direct contact with on these and all other Cordoba House matters moving forward.”
  • An April 22, 2010, email from Khan to Shama asking Shama to sign a letter of support for the Ground Zero Mosque project. “We have been honored to have developed a relationship with you over the last years…we consider you amongst our closest allies and friends.” The email included a draft letter for Shama to sign.

In July 2010, Mayor Bloomberg told reporters it was “un-American” to investigate the individuals behind the Ground Zero Mosque. Shortly thereafter, on August 9, 2010, Judicial Watch filed Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) requests with the Mayor’s office, seeking contacts between city officials and Rauf and controversial Muslim organizations. On November 4, 2010, after receiving no response from Mayor Bloomberg’s office to its request and a subsequent administrative appeal, Judicial Watch filed a petition with the New York State Supreme Court to compel the Mayor’s office to comply with the open records requests. Judicial Watch received the documents just before Christmas on December 23, 2010.

“These new documents show that Mayor Bloomberg’s office was working hand in glove with the Muslim activists driving the unpopular Ground Zero mosque project. Now we know what the Mayor was trying to hide and why his office couldn’t bother to comply with the Freedom of Information Law. New Yorkers want honesty and transparency from their Mayor, not obfuscation,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

Rauf has made a number of radical and controversial statements regarding Islamic extremism, particularly the terrorist attacks of 9/11. For example, during a 60 Minutes interview about the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Rauf said: “I wouldn’t say that the United States deserved what happened. But the United States’ policies were an accessory to the crime that happened…we have been an accessory to a lot of innocent lives dying in the world. In fact, in the most direct sense, Osama bin Laden is made in the USA.”

Changing of the Guard

I was amused at the "how great I am " speech by the de-throned Pelosy. It is now up to us, the American People to hold the 112th Congress liable for our near and far future. I see already the liberal left crying foul about the debt and deficit when all they did is increase the deficit to a record cost ,a 50% increase that would be illegal if committed by a "common American". We have acquired one piece of the puzzle,lets go forward and gain the other two pieces for an American picture, the true picture of the citizens of the United States of America.

Department of Education Needs Adjusting

There is an old saying, “I can’t lay eggs but I know a good one from a bad one.”

The results of G20 pretty much destroyed the basic premise of Secretary of Education Arne Duncan’s education policy stated in his article called “Back to School: enhancing U.S. education and competitiveness” in Foreign Affairs Magazine November/December 2010.

Ironically, his insight is a good example actually laying an egg and not knowing it was a bad one.

The huge rejection of trade results in the G 20 summit, and a manipulated yen by China and similar acts of currency manipulation by other countries should be obvious, even our exporting of re-cycled materials has collapsed. Mr. Duncan, protectionism exists.

That is why Mr. Duncan’s basic premise for pushing our students to engage in technology jobs abroad is a fruitless and foolish piece of educational policy.

The Meaning of Tea Party

The Tea Party is made up of Americans who got a wake-up call and proceeded to act on a grand scale. This has never before happened in America. You people, in spite of the insults, have continued to grow in numbers by leaps and bounds—and individually directed. 

 

I’m 35 years ahead of you. I got my wake-up call in 1973 and acted.  I wrote a letter to Attorney General William Saxbe letting him know the income tax was unconstitutional and I’d see him in court. Be advised that you have a personal stake in the law under the income tax. Saxbe passed my letter on to the IRS and it acted, unconstitutionally. Under the Constitution, let it be known, we are innocent until proven guilty. Under the IRS rules, same as in slavery, an expedience for the good of all, you are guilty until proven innocent.  Why do we allow this?

I petitioned the Tax Court with a list of grievances.  The IRS offered, in part, to back off if I’d agree to drop the petition. Why would the IRS back off if they were right?  With their offer, they let me know that they would lose. They assumed that a peasant like me would not take them to court.  I turned the offer down.  I made good my promise that I’d see the Attorney General in court.  His lawyer, Solicitor General Wade H. McCree, Jr. appeared against me in the U. S. Supreme Court claiming the IRS made an “error.”  If I had made the error the IRS made, I’d be in jail.

 

The IRS, courts, Congress, and the President, because they had been getting away with it, thought they could sweep me under the carpet. They were wrong.

 

I took the court record to The Palm Beach Post. An investigation was made. The IRS admitted that it made many errors, and was still making errors against me 11 years after the first, this admitted in a front page story. The IRS apologized. Uncle Sam was very sorry that it is an unconstitutional fraud; it meant no harm. End of the story for all but me.

 

Would the original Americans have stood for this unconstitutional fraud?  Where did the Tea Party get its name?  The American people did not put up with King George’s tax. They revolted.  

 

I believed that federal income tax was abusing my God-given rights. One does not settle for part of his God-given rights. The IRS put me on the street, and in violation of the U. S. Code. When the key to my apartment would not open my door, I called the police. Although I didn’t have the money to pay my rent, thanks to the lawless IRS, the landlord had no right to lock me out without a legal procedure.  I’m law abiding. The IRS and my landlord were not. By acting against an unconstitutional tax, I found that the only way to keep the income tax in place is by intimidation and lies.  By the way, that’s what kept slavery in place.  One of the greatest of Presidents, Abraham Lincoln, freed the slaves.  Who will free we income tax slaves?

 

Do the American people know that God-given rights mean nobody can take them from you without your permission? America’s tyrannical authorities think you will not call their bluffs. Most of the time they are right. Now that the Tea Party has made itself known, your work has just begun. You must continue, uncompromisingly, toward your goal, your God-given rights. Give Washington an inch; it will take a mile.

 

Already we hear from Washington that we don’t have a choice. We simply must increase the debt limit in March, even though it is absolutely insane. This has all been carefully planned.  We will not be able to pay our debts; we will ruin our credit.  We will not be able to pay the troops; an unspeakable disaster will occur if we don’t raise the debt ceiling, and on and on until the inevitable: we become the hopeless slaves of the perpetrators. It’s nothing new.  

 

Maybe it would be a good thing to ruin our credit.  Maybe it would be a good thing to bring the troops home. Maybe it would be a good thing to shrink government to half of its size, even though the suffering would be great.  Even that could be a good thing. I was petrified in fear. A great change in my life was taking place over which I had no control. In my case, it forced me to look within and discover the real me.  There was no one else there for me.  I pulled myself up by my bootstraps and got on my path of destiny.  Everything started going right.

 

Jesus, after saying “in earth as it is in heaven,” in the Lord’s Prayer, said, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God.” Where do you think the kingdom of God is? Where is your soul? Where is your conscious awareness?  You exist in a place and a state. God is not in the IRS, or the government, or the courts. God is in your soul. Why would authorities not want to make you feel that you have no rights, that you must depend on them?  They think they know what is best for you. They are taught that.

 

Why do you think you were put in this place? Do you think you come programmed to go through the motions already set for you in advance, like a herd animal? That’s what your government wants. Are you here to make a life for yourself or here for the good of all? Government believes you are here to serve government, for the good of all. If you don’t believe me, try telling government you have God-given rights. 

 

Are you not doing your children an enormous disservice to obey unconstitutional laws that strip you of all of your God-given rights? The Nazis didn’t get away with saying they were obeying the law. Germany’s judges backed the Nazis. Why would America’s judges not back Uncle Sam? The law is not what tyrants say it is.

 

It will go hard on you to inform Washington that you have God-given rights nobody can take from you. Washington will try every way it can, by giving to you, by taking from you, by threatening you, by imprisoning you, to make you a believer in its corrupt power.

 

Henry Ford said if you think you can, you can. If you think you can’t, you can’t. I thought I could and I did. Welcome to the Tea Party.
