America: From Freedom to Fascism
There’s some good content becoming available these days. Just a few days ago I posted about that new video discussing the controlled demolitions of the Twin Towers, called “9/11 Mysteries: Demolitions”, and today I have another link for you to a new movie.
It’s called “America: From Freedom to Fascism”. You might have heard of it already. Perhaps you’ve even already seen it. But if you haven’t, YOU ABSOLUTELY SHOULD. As soon as you can. You can download it here. You’ll need the DivX codec installed on your computer to view it.
I’m sure most Americans don’t enjoy paying income tax. Did you guys know that there is actually no law requiring you to pay income tax? The IRS is just a mafia organization robbing people from their money. The Federal Reserve System is just a private corporation owned by private banks, using your tax money for their own benefit. Get the details by watching the movie. There’s lots more being discussed there, including how America has been transformed into a police state. Yep, prepare to Sieg Heil in the near future.
For more in dept background information on the Federal Reserve System and how private bankers have controlled people through the financial system for decades now, watch a movie called “The Money Masters.” This is some incredible and very detailed research. It’s a good history lesson as well. Highly recommended. You can download it here, or from Conspiracy Central here (you’ll need to login to get the link to the .torrent file). You’ll need a BitTorrent client installed on your computer to be able to download from previous locations. An easier way is to just get it from here (DivX codec required).
Update 23/9/2006: Removed Google Video links to The Money Masters and added new ones.

I admit, I haven’t yet seen the movie, but at first blush regarding the income tax: 1) the 16th Ammendment allows for the collection of income tax 2) the urban legend that the income tax is illegal/unconstitutional/voluntary has been around for a long time. 3) people really do go to jail for not paying. I must assume there is a real law they are breaking. If not, they are still going to jail.

Hi Bill,
Make sure you see the movie. Also check out the Money Masters. It has answers to all your 3 points. Let me know what you think after having seen the movies.

It looks like the Money Masters videos got yanked from Google. The Money Masters site says they aren’t in the public domain. I’ll try to check out the other one tomorrow. Long day. Regards.
Bill
P.S. I like your site. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Bill,
I updated the post with new links to download Money Masters,

Karel,
Thanks for the updated links. I started with the Money Masters, but at 3 1/2 hours, I’m going to take it in smaller bites. So far, it’s presenting an interesting history of money and the banking industry. Greed and power are great motivators.
Anyway, I’ll keep at it. Thanks again for the references. Good stuff.

Karel,
I wanted to get back to you about these films. They have a lot of eye opening information, and if true, warrant a lot of anger and uphevel. Several topics were covered. I seized upon the constitutionality of the income tax to do some investigation of my own. On the Freedom to Fascism home page, the following statement is made:
“Are you aware the Supreme Court has ruled that the government has no authority to impose a direct unapportioned tax on the labor of the American people, and the 16th Amendment does not give the government that power?”
This is absolutely true, but the income tax is considered an excise (indirect) tax. Careful examination of the Supreme Court rulings shows that while they frequently refer to income tax, they are referring specifically to income derived from property and investments. It can be confusing because when we think of income tax, we think mostly of the tax on our labor. When reading these documents, it’s very easy to lose sight of the fact that tax on labor is not what they are talking about.
To summarize what I found:
The assertion that the income tax is unconstitution because it is a direct tax and fails the apportionment requirement (equally applied by population) of direct taxes is true, but misleading. The income tax falling under this “unconstitutional” criteria established in Pollock v. Farmer’s Loan and Trust refers to only income derived from certain investments. Tax on income derived from labor was always considered an excise tax and therefore constitutional because excise (indirect) taxes are not required to be apportioned. The sixteenth amendment serves to remove the test of apportionment of certain direct income taxes (i.e. investments – rent, capital gains, etc.). It leaves intact the apportionment requirement for other non-income related direct taxes.
A good coverage of the details of thw 16th amendment and assertion of the fundamentals in Pollock can be found by Googling Brushaber v. Union Pacific Railroad. Try http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/cgi-bin/getcase.pl?court=US&vol=240&invol=1 .
To get these facts wrong really takes a lot of credibility away from the organization and the movement in general. As much as I want to be angry about the Federal Reserve and my rights being trampled, I won’t go blindly down a path of resistance to find out I’m wrong. I do want to investigate the central bank issues. If the assertions turn out to be true about them and the income tax only pays the interest on the Federal Reserve loans to the government, that will be an evil empire worth toppling.
If these other assertions are true, it would be good for the Freedom to Fascism group (and others) to acknowledge the false claims and distance themselves from them.
Thanks again for the awesome site, Karel. Finding truth canbe an arduous journey,but at the end you will find a mighty ally.

Hi Bill,
Hope you got something out of the movies. What did you think about the law requiring a person to file income tax returns? Does that even exist? Also, where does it say that money from labour is also income and should be taxed, when it’s a person?
September 30th, 2006 at 5:29 pm
Karel,
Yes, I got a lot out of the movies. I just don’t want to accept their claims as gospel truth without investigation. I haven’t looked for a law requiring people to file taxes. Article 1, Sections 2 and 9 of our constitution require direct taxes to be apportioned among the states. The Supreme Court established in the descision Pollock v. Farmer’s Loan and Trust that some forms of income taxes are direct taxes, not including a tax on labor. They reaffirmed this in Brushaber v. Union Pacific Railroad. Our supreme court, whose job it is to interpret the Constitution, decided that an income tax based on labor is constitutional because it is not a direct tax. The 16th Amendment made taxes on all forms of income exempt from the apportionment requirement, whether direct or indirect.
As time permits, I will dig through and try to find the laws requiring payment of income taxes. Now that I know that income taxes are constitutional, I see no reason why laws requiring payment of taxes don’t exist. After that, I want to dig more into the central bank issue. That’s where the real evil may lay.

Hi Bill,
Please keep me updated on your research into the existence of the laws. If what’s in the movie is true, you should not find any.

Bill and Karel,
You should really go to Lost Horizons and buy the book, “Cracking the Code”. Hendrickson has scoured the IRS code and his book is well worth the $20 he asks. Once you understand that the definitions you assume for things such as “employee” or “income” are very different from how the IRS defines them, the truth will become quite apparent to you.
Also, you must read Secrets of the Federal Reserve!

A persons labor is thier private property, and a tax on this would be a “direct” tax…with that being said it “is” against the constitution and against our rights as americans born and raised…I for one am appauled at the ignorance from some of the posts here.
Your other arguement would be that it is based on income. An income as shown in the documentary was defined by the supreme court, as “Profits or gains derived from corporate activity” More or less those words.
Which in fact is not my trade being used in exchange for currency..that as you have heard in the docu that yes it is indeed worth little to nothing these days, the most proper estimate I have heard is the value of the dollar is only about 4 cents today. If you look at the inflation over the past 20 years you will be foolish to dissagree.
Dr. Ron Paul – who is a republican running for office in 2008 should be another thing that you should look into…..he has been in politics for over 20 years, served the Congress in Texas for those years is “well aware” of the laws of the country and also brings about this fraud…
Anyways here is the Site for him http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=70183124 I would suggest that you at least take a look at what he has to say.

Ron Paul would just work to eliminate the IRS, period, making this whole discussion moot.

Eliminating the IRS sounds good to me.:grin:

if you do more research and actually know the judicial history of the 16th ammendment, you will find that the supreme court ruled that the 16th ammendment did not give new taxing powers to the government. and they also defined what INCOME really meant in that ammandment.
