The Law that Never Was

“The people are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty.”  Thomas Jefferson

Remember?

Have We the People approved the amendments to our Constitution?  Would it surprise you to know that each state, composed of We the People, has certain procedures it must follow when it ratifies an amendment to the Constitution?

Regarding the income tax, allegedly giving Congress the authority to levy a tax on individual’s labor, note the following:

• Attorneys who have studied the subject have agreed that… if any state could be shown to have violated its own state constitution or laws in its approval process, then that state’s approval would have to be thrown out.
• In Oklahoma, the legislature changed the wording of the amendment so that its meaning was virtually the opposite of what was intended by Congress, and this was the version they sent back to Knox. Yet Knox counted Oklahoma as approving it, despite a memo from his chief legal counsel, Reuben Clark, that states were not allowed to change it in any way.
• The state constitution of Tennessee prohibited the state legislature from acting on any proposed amendment to the U.S. Constitution sent by Congress until after the next election of state legislators. The intent, of course, is to give the proposed amendment a chance to become an issue in the state legislative elections so that the people can have a voice in determining the outcome. It also provides a cooling off period to reduce the tendency to approve an idea just because it happens to be the moment’s trend.
• Texas and Louisiana violated provisions in their state constitutions prohibiting the legislatures from empowering the federal government with any additional taxing authority

Forty eight (48) states existed at the time, so 3/4ths or thirty-six (36) states were needed to ratify the 16th Amendment.  When We the People did the research, we found that only 20 states had ratified it, with many states violating their own state constitution, changing the wording, or  not responding. Thus the Sixteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was not ratified properly by the states and Secretary of State Philander Knox committed fraud when he certified that it had passed in  1913.

Guess what also happened late in 1913?  The passage of the Federal Reserve Act, with a 100 year charter.

Did We the People approve of either?  No, and the scoundrels did away with the informed opposition a year before, on April 15, 1912, when the Titanic sank.  Would the wealthiest individuals in America have agreed to the scheme of the federal reserve or the income tax?  Were Astor, Guggenheim, and Straus rivals of the Jekyll Island plan?

Anyone find it more than coincidental that April 15 is the filing date for individual taxes?

Were Americans wealthier as individuals before 1913?

Now as Congress debates “tax reform”, remember, that the whole thing appears to be a fraud…money they can borrow or direct more printing of so as to grow government, their power, and their influence. Congress should now be talking about reimbursing Americans back to 1913 and resigning immediately, in favor of We the People, who are the only ones who can Make America Great Again!
