The law that never was
September-2010
George Shepard of Republic Magazine Bill Benson, author of “The law that never was.”16th amendment and improper ratification. Has been fighting (the IRS) since January of 04.
Dick Stine is the attorney for Bill.
Bill traveled to the capitol of all 48 states that were in the union in 1913 and he obtained the certified, notarized copies form the various state legislatures pertaining to the ratification of the 16th amendment (income tax). The entire basis of the federal income tax system. The supreme court said in 1895 that it was unconstitutional. He also traveled to Washington DC and obtained documents that the various states sent to the than secretary of state Knox. He (Bill) wrote a couple of books and people under trial read those books and used information contained their in for their defense, raising the issue that the 16th amendment wasn’t ratified. The courts rejected the arguments. Bill Benson opened a WEB site where he offered his books for sale as well as the 17000 bits of information on the subject for sale as a package called compendium of information. So many people obtained that material and act on it that it was causing the IRS problems. So they (the IRS) filed a lawsuit claiming that Bill’s ‘compendium of information’ actually constituted a tax shelter and the tax shelter was abusive because Bill falsely and fraudulently told people that the 16th amendment wasn’t ratified and that his documents proved that.
So once that was started documents were submitted to say that was not true. The government couldn’t contest those acts because they came from certified documents that the courts must take notice of. So the government moved to strike the ‘facts’ on the grounds that they were “irreverent, immaterial, impertinent and scandalous" and the court granted that motion and struck all of his (Bills) evidence. Than they issued a judgment against Bill saying yes he was promoting an abusive tax shelter and he hadn’t presented any evidence that his statement was true. [All evidence presented [Certified documents] was stricken as irrelevant.????] After that the government wanted the names and addresses of anyone that might have purchased the package that they might be investigated too.
That decision was appealed to the court of appeals and raised 8 significant issues, the government failed to brief 7 of those issues because they couldn’t brief them and win. The court refused to address those same seven issues and sustained the court.
The significant of this is manifest, the government charged penalty conduct, accused him of making a false statement, struck his evidence that his statement was struck from the record and found against him. They did this on the grounds that whether or not the 16th amendment had been ratified was a political question, the courts have no jurisdiction to decide political questions, and therefore his statement was false as a matter of law.
So what this means is the first amendment is dead if in fact it is a political question than speech about it is political speech. Political speech is absolutely protected under the first amendment. Well, not any more.
The IRS seizes all your property & funds so you have no possible way of presenting a defense.
There is a number of them to listen to here but this was the last one. This guy goes to all 48 states and gets certified copies of what they had to say about the 16th amendment when it was supposedly passed (but in reality wasn’t) and he also went to Washington D.C. and to the archives there and collected certified copies of the documents with regard to the ratification of the 16th amendment and ended up with 17,000 certified pieces of evidence that proves the 16th amendment was never certified. He put these in a package and provided it for sale and a lot of people bought the package. Well this caused the government a lot of problem collecting taxes and so they came after him claiming all kinds of shit. You just got to hear what his lawyer says, it is unbelievable.
The courts refuse to see the evidence saying it was frivolous among other things. Evidence, frivolous!!! Than the courts said it didn’t matter if the 16th amendment was ratified or not because that was a political question and they were not involved.
You really need to listen to this. You will realize that the courts no longer follow the constitution. You need to read that twice. If they are not following the constitution, than what are they following?
Buy g*u*ns & am*mu*nition & store it somewhere other than home. Of course buying gu_*ns now means you will automatically be on a list and when they do come for the guns you will either turn over what is on the list or go to prison.
