The event is being held at the National Press Club in Washington D.C. today, Saturday, November 13. <http://npc.press.org/npcevents.cgi> It now appears that the event will not air live on CSPAN. Presently, there is no additional information as to whether or not it will air at a later date or time; or whether or not CSPAN-2 is even recording it; or, if CSPAN had indicated they would cover it why they may have later decided to not cover it. It could have been a misunderstanding (only CSPAN has control over what they do or don't cover), or it could have been simply dropped from their schedule for some other reason. It may be much later, perhaps a day or two, before the answer is known. The same organization which is putting on the summit today, We The People, also put on a similar tax summit earlier this year at the same Washington locaation. The first summit was covered from beginning to end by CSPAN-2. In fact, it was aired live and it also aired at least 4 or 5 additional times during the following week. This summit is larger and better organized. CSPAN normally covers events of national interest held at the National Press Club headquarters. At the first summit, former IRS special agent Joseph Banister announced that he personally had asked his (at-the-time) employer (the IRS) to show him the statutes which make an American liable for the income tax. He never got a response. He was subsequently let go from the agency. If you did not get to see the first summit, you can read about it here. <http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_exnews/19990326_xex_irs_special_.shtml> Also at the first summit, Mr. Bill Benson, discussed his book "The Law That Never Was," in which he proves beyond a shadow of doubt that the 16th Amendment was never properly ratified by the states. During his presentation, Mr. Benson commented that several years ago, shortly after he completed his research into the non-ratification of the 16th Amendment, he was offered a very large sum of money by a then presidential candidate to not make the information public for fear it would destroy the entire tax system. Mr. Benson did not, however, name the former presidential candidate. It was expected that today the name would be released. This may or may not have anything at all to do with the program not airing, or not being covered if it is not. This is what is referenced in the message sent out previously about today's summit. The following information is included only because so many people have been inquiring as to what is going on and why it is not on CSPAN. This may help answer those questions. Information about Bill Benson the man, and his book is available here: <http://www.trustclarks.com/theman.html> A list of the constitutional defects in the non-ratification of the 16th Amendment are outlined here: <http://www.constitution.org/ica_ltnw.txt> Not shown are the details of each states respective defect, which is extensively detailed in Mr. Benson's book. The group that is holding the meeting today is We The People: <http://www.givemeliberty.org/index.html> The summit is not on the CSPAN-2 schedule for today. *If* it turns out that it will air at a later date, I will announce it at that time.
