"In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolucionary act." "~ George Orwell" "I set out on a journey to make a film about whether or not there was a law requiring" "Americans to pay an income tax... or was the tax a fraud being perpetraded by the American government." "This process of discovery brought something more dangerous and frightening to my attention..." "now I will bring it to yours." "In 1913 America was a free country." "Then a band of powerful bankers achieved their fathers' and grandfathers' goal." "America has never been the same." "Soon the world will not be the same." "The year was 1913." "Woodrow Wilson was president." "And powerfull banking interests, who have been trying for years, finally achieved their long-term goal of a silent culp de stat by taking control of the American government." "The first thing they did to accomplish their takeover, was convince the secretary of state Phil Andrew Knox to lie to the American people and tell them that the 16th Amendment, the income tax Amendment, have been legally ratified by the states... when it was not." "The Bankers knew that this tax will ultimately end up in their pockets." "Because of this fraud, the American people were led to believe there was now a tax on their labour." "Congress and the President are completely aware of this fraud, and it was even cited in a recent court case." ""If you... examined [The 16th Amendement] carefully, you would find that a sufficient number of states never ratified that amendment. "" "U.S District Court Judge James C. Fox 2003" "That very same year, the bankers commited their second, and by far, the most diabolical fraud ever perpetrated on the American people." "By bribeing senators, to pay us the "Federal Reserve Act", without the required constitutional Amendment." "They did this during Christmas vacation, when many senators were home, celebrating the holidays with their families, and that's how the unconstitutional "Federal Reserve Act" came in to being." "They were very clever, and they understood that whoever issued the money for America, would control the government." "The bankers won, and the American people lost because most politicians will sell their soul for a dollar." "And now the Federal Reserve can issue dollars legally..." "As Mayer Rothschild said:" ""Give me control of a nation's money supply, and I care not who makes its laws. "" "He knew that he and the other bankers will now control the laws of the nation." "Government gave these bankers one of its most important powers, and now had to borrow money from them and pay interest to finance the government." "So, the American people were forced to lower their standard of living, and pay a graduated income tax to the governemnt." "Just so the government could give these bankers more profits." "President Woodrow Wilson, who signed the "Federal Reserve Act" into law, later said in regret:" ""I am a most unhappy man." "I have unwittingly ruined my country." "A great industrial nation is now controlled by its system of credit." "We are no longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.

" No." " Would you pay it?" " No!" "Why would you pay taxes if you don't have to?"

"Last Thanksgiving, DOJ and IRS notified congressman Bartlett, that they would not participate." "Congressman Bartlett then waited until late January." "He informed me that he would not be participating." "Why do you think you've being able to get away with not paying or filing your income taxes for so long?" "Well, first of all I've not gotten away with anything, I'm not hiding from anyone."

"And their job was to research all the various areas of the federal government and make a report." "One of the quotes from the Grace commision is:" ""100% of what is collected is absorb solely by interest on the federal debt, all individual income tax revenues are gone before one nickle is spent on the services tax payers expect from government.

"We've been brainwashed, people have been told, you know, that you need this income tax system to fund government, which is absolutely ridiculous, I mean, my question is:" ""Well, if that's true, how did we fund government from 1776 to 1913?"." "The main purpose of the income tax is not to raise revenue but to redistribute wealth and to control society." "A lot of people might say:" ""If there wasn't an income tax, what would happen to education?"."

"The commissioner wants us to believe, that although IRS demands that you fill out the 1040 and you can go to jail for it, that they are not violating a 5th amendment rights of self-incrimination." "That is absurd." "Isn't it true that the word "income"" "is not defined anywhere in the Internal Revenue Code?"

"If they're paying an income tax..." "Because the courts will define it." "Do you remember what constituitional attorney Edwin Vieira said?" "The definition of "income" in the Constitution was given in the Eisner versus Macomber case, and it turns on gains or profits that are made from some activity." "So the Supreme Court has ruled." "Income is not wages, is not labour." "It's gained from corporate activity." "I believe that a man's labour is his private property." "That's your view but it's not the law."

"Can the low courts overrule the Supreme Court?" "No." "How are they putting people in jail today for not paying a tax on their labor when the Supreme Court said they don't have to?" "But doesn't the IRS code have to be in compliance with the Supreme Court?" "!" "That is my question!" "Aaron, this is a waste of time, because whatever I say, you're not gonna believe." "He is right." "I don't believe him, and neither should you." "He wants us to believe we should obey the IRS code!" "Which is being enforced in violation of the many Supreme Court decisions." "The Supreme Court made a decision." "No, no, thank you, thank you, Aaron, I think we're finished." "I'm sorry Mr. Cohen you're doing that..." "Well, I'm sorry that you constantly reargue the point." "You're liable because the law says that you're liable and the courts say the law says you're liable and thats why you're liable." "You see, he's talking about the lower courts, who are not in compliance with the Supreme Court... as they have to be..." "Doesn't the court have to be in compliance with the Supreme Court?" " The Supreme Court has so held." " Where?" "You caught me unprepared!" " I'll come back..." " I don't wanna do that." " But let me ask you a hipotetical question?" " No." "You're making silly arguments, Aaron." "Why is a Supreme Court decision a silly argument?" "Well, because it is inapplicable!" "That made my heart stop!" "He just said Supreme Court decisions do not apply to the IRS." "That's the behavior you would expect from a totalitarian country, maybe China or Russia or Cuba, not from America." "That's just making up the law as they go along." "Now I knew the tax honesty movement was right." "The IRS thrives on intimidation, fear, not by a law." "It's no different than a criminal protection racket using force to extract your money from you." "Then the former IRS commissioner, now working at the prestigious Washington law firm, threatens me... watch!" "Aaron you understand Yiddish?" "Gornischt helfen!" "For those of you who don't understand Yiddish, that means "Nothing will help you"." "Now it all became clear." "I understood why the IRS wouldn't go on camera and talk about where the law was." "I understood why all those senators I called refused to be interviewed." "There is no law." "And now you know what our political leaders and the courts have known for decades, and have tried to cover up." "The US constitution strictly forbids a direct unapportioned tax on the wages and salaries of american citizens." "The U.S. Supreme Court has consistently ruled that the income tax is a tax on profits and gains, not on labour and wages." "On behalf of the American people, I challenge the IRS to show me a statute that allows a direct unapportioned tax on the wages and labour of the American people." "And if I'm wrong, I would give my most humble apologies to the IRS." "If IRS is wrong and there is no law, then every person that has been jailed should be let out of jail immediately, and any assets seized should be return to their rightful owners." "If this is a nation of laws and a free country, then the IRS should show the law to the American people." "I felt an overwhelming need to understand why juries would find the innocent people guilty of not filling a tax return, when there was no law requiring them to do so." "So I went to talk to Mossie Brookes, a juror used to common sense, and did not allow the judge to reroute the jury into a guilty verdict." "The Government v. Whitey Harrell" "He was being tried for four counts of not filling his income tax..." " Ok." " And our question was..." "What is to decide?" "Either he did or he didn't." "It never occured to us that he might actually be innocent while at the same time not filling." "In the federal government it is not a felony not to file taxes." "Finally they said: ok, if we're gonna get this guy, we're gonna have to put it in the state." "They called up the IRS agent, Agent Craner." " Craner?" " Yes." "This is Kent Dorey, he is also an investigator." "Did you get my request for a copy of the delegation of authority order?" "Right... and I talked to my boss about that and he said that my badge is that." "Your badge is the authority." "Hum, and I thought it had to be in writing." "The last question that the defense asked him was:" "Did you write any of this down?" "And Agent Craner looked right at him, and right at us and he said:" "I never wrote anything down." "And yet when we saw the video, there he was writing notes... you know, and so..." "I'm thinking, ok, at this point the judge is supposed to say:" "Agent Craner, it is clear that you have commited perjury." "It wasn't even noticed." "It finally came to the climax." "Mr. Harrell looked right at the prosecutor, and he said:" "I will tell you the same thing I have told over and over again to government officials." "You show me the law that requires me to file a tax return and I'll be glad to do it." "And I ask under..." "what is the requirement, that you claim, I'm required to do theses things?" "And the requirement under the regulations is what section?" "My question to you is:" "What particular acts are we discussing here that I'm liable to do these things that you claim I'm liable to do?" "Your exact question would be again?" "What is the section that what?" "I guess I'm still not understanding your question, Mr. Harrel." "Well, you must be familiar with the police powers you have to enforce." "The prosecutor absolutely ignored him!" "And he started to slandering Mr. Harrell." "Just started attacking his character." "They're calling us taxees, they're calling us fanatics, they're calling us weirdos," "I don't care what you call me, but I have one question..." "Where is the law?" "Show me the law!" "They can't let this turn into a rational debate, because if they do, they'll lose it!" "So they have to insult people and say it's frivolous." "We felt like that there was an overall arrogance and that they were re-routing Mr. Harrell and wanting us to participate." "Judge Cougan, he looked right at us and he said:" "I will instruct the jury according to the law." "We were sent to deliberation." "The judge promised us that he would give us the law." "And we looked, and we looked and it was not there." "We wrote a note to the judge asking for a copy of the law... 10 minutes later we get a note back." "You have everything you need." "But there was no law." "And he had promised us." "At that point I felt betrayed." "I felt like: this man promised us the law, and that's what this whole thing is about... the law." "We've requested and he still denies us the law." " And the reason they didn't do it was why?" " As there is no law." "Remember we were talking about the Illinois state law here?" "Which is a law in Illinois..." "So we got out that law and we've read it several times and I said: ok, wait, wait, wait, you know, 'cause they kept saying..." "But this is a law in Illinois and I said:" "Look at the beginning of the..." "It says: anyone required to file a federal income tax return, is required to file an Illinois tax return." "I said: if it is true that he's not required to file a federal return then that nullifies the Illinois law." "Two people, they kept saying:" "but he's gonna get by with it." "And I said what is he getting by with but his rights?" "If there is no law he's not breaking a law." "He's just standing on his rights." "Are we gonna deny him that?" "It's when this one juror sat back and kinda rolled his eyes and he said..." "You mean... we don't have to pay taxes?" "All of a sudden we realise that this trial was much bigger, and the ramifications of this trial were gonna be so broad, if it actually got out?" "I mean, it's like we have just discovered this great government secret." "And so when we came out for the delivering out the verdict the Judge was..." "I'm sure, even at this point" "I'm sure he still thought we would pass given guilty verdict." "And the reason I say that is because of the look on his face, when the first "not guilty" was read." "His face just turned white..." "it was like:" "I don't believe this!" "This second time, you could hear people out in the audience in the courtroom just going... wow!" ", you know... and the judge is just getting red in the face, and he was just livid!" "and the judge got up and left..." "I sat there and I thought: this truly is a victory for the people, and I have never felt more patriotic, and I knew that we had done the right thing." "I looked at that man, Mr. Harrell, and I thought... the system might not work all the time, but this time, for that man, it did." "In November 2004, the government arrested former IRS criminal investigator Joe Banister." "They charged him of fraud for telling the American people the truth about the income tax laws." "The jury obviously agreed with Joe." "Well it just showed Mr. Banister to be honest and straightforward, and working within the law." "Wernest Cougland, a Federal Express pilot claimed there was no law requiring Americans to file an income tax, she also won in court." "24 people were criminally charged by the IRS, because they claimed there was no law requiring them to file an income tax return." "The fact is neither the judge, nor prosecutor or the IRS could bring that statute in there, because it's not in the books." "The jury came back with an acquittal for everyone." "When the matter is put to the test, which means in terms of... in court, an enforcement action, there is a 100% success rate in shooting down these arguements." "The mafia has a code and they follow it, and it's a code of honour, but the IRS has no code... of honor." ""The IRS selectively audited taxpayers who were poor and vulnerable they routinely fabricated evidence against taxpayers they encouraged agents to 'stick it' to taxpayers. "" "~Jennifer Long IRS Agent" "Meet George Dawson, a federal judge presiding over the Irvin Shiff tax case, who denied Irvin the ability to prove to a jury that there was no law requiring Americans to file an income tax return." "He denied Irvin the right to prove to a jury there was no law by stateing..." "Judge Dawson:" ""I will not allow the law in my courtroom!"" "But the judge made sure the government never had to show the law as written by telling the jury..." "Judge Dawson's Jury Instructions "You must follow the law as I give it to you.

"Here we have a federal judge, re-routing an American citizen by saying Supreme Court decisions are irrelevant." "And again nothing from the press defending our freedoms." "Irwin Schiff was found guilty and sentenced to 13 years in prison... for a non-crime." "So if you ever find yourself as a juror, on a tax case... be sure to ask the judge to show you the statute written by Congress that allowes the government to tax the wages of the American people." "If the judge can't show you the law, then how can you possibly in good conscience convict someone and destroy their life."

"And I think that's about the greatest piece of work anybody can do." "Well, I certainly agree with you for that, you turning over a lot of money."

"This time donateing his normal fee to Army relief." "I've only done what any red-blooded American would do."

"When Joe's beloved mother died leaving him US$ 600 the IRS immediately siezed it." "They also confiscated all of his children's cross-funds." "Joe was forced to continuing fighting until he was 37 and out of shape just to pay off his ever-mounting debt to the IRS, which grew to US$ 1,000,000, $100,000 a year just in interest." "At the end of his life, Joe was forced to become a greeter at the Las Vegas hotel just to make ends meet." "It was a shameful thing to see a man like him, great fighter, great human being, being humiliated and destroyed in this manner, because, afterall, when you owe internal revenue money, no matter what you have, they take away from you." "And they took a lot away from Joe Lewis..." "Former German opponent Max Schmeling paid for Joe's funeral." "I made a decision to drive to Virginia Beach, from Washington, because I heard stories about two law-abiding families who had been brutalized by the IRS." "They were falsely accused by their book-keepeer of being drug-smugglers and tax cheats." "And incredibly to me, without any investigation the IRS proceeded to raid their place of bussines and their homes even though they had done absolutely nothing wrong."
