-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Q: Recently I spoke with Bob Schulz from "We the People" and Larry Becraft from "The Wallace Institute." I’ve had Bill Benson on to discuss the non-ratification of the 16th Amendment. At some point can you ever see Congress addressing the questions raised by these men and others about the ratification of the 16th Amendment? A: No way! It’s not going to happen. Even if you had 110% proof that was absolutely correct and that that was never ratified it would be so devastating to the establishment -- how else can they run the government without your money? I mean they need your money. It’s like saying you expect the Congress in the next six months to systematically reduce their spending by ten percent? If we could trust them if they said they’ll reduce their spending, then maybe you’d think they’ll reduce taxes and do something. But they need your money. This is the reason why our privacy is disappearing -- whether it’s our financial privacy or whatever. They want to know where your money is and what you’re doing. Q: Hold on. For a long time there has been complicity between the mainstream media and government. They have pretty much controlled what kind of information the unwashed masses were being fed. However, now with this information revolution of the symbiotic relationship between the Internet and jokers like me on talk-radio, it’s like the vacuum that had been created by the mainstream is being filled. People are finding this information they had been denied. As more and more people find out -- hey, the 16th Amendment wasn't properly ratified, the Federal Reserve isn't federal and it isn’t reserve, it’s a private scam, fiat money ain’t gonna work, it’s designed to fail -- as more and more people get exposed to this, how long can Congress stall before they are compelled to address it? A: And you just stated why we should be optimists in the long run. I compare it to being in Washington in the '70s when it was very difficult to organize and reach people -- now, talk shows, radio, Internet -- it’s just amazing what we can do. But I still argue that, even with our numbers growing tremendously, we’re not on the verge of seeing a Congress do the things you are asking because there is so much more power and influence on the side of these spending programs. They may want less taxes but they do want these programs. But our numbers are very important. We have to keep growing our numbers and they understand this. Because soon, the tax revolt will grow -- it is growing -- it is very big. It is bigger than most people realize. There are some who do it with a lot of noise and there are a lot who are doing it very quietly. So there is a major revolt going on. Then, when the financial collapse comes -- which I suspect we will get -- this government is going to have to admit to some of these problems. There will be a tough tug-of-war between those who say we need more government versus our numbers, which are growing, and saying, "We’re going to chuck it. We’re not going to participate." We’re going to demand that we live within the Constitution. That is not going to be graceful -- it’s not going to be smooth -- it’s not going to be through attrition in Congress because those who get to Congress are basically the ones who are there now. And they’re going to say, "Ah ha! We have to keep this together for the good of the people. We have to make sure nobody misses their check." Q: What if ten or twenty years from now there is such outrage and so much information has been disseminated to the people that they finally get it and say, "Hey, you guys aren’t representing the U.S. You’re representing your special interests and feathering your own nests. We’re going to throw your fat butts out!" A: Hey I work on the assumption that that is possible or I wouldn’t be a political activist. And I am encouraged that I can go and vote the way I do and come back to my district. I have a district that has 22 counties -- mostly farming. I don’t vote for farm subsidies and I explain my position and they listen to me and they still vote for me. So there is reason to believe it can happen, but it’s not going to be soon and it’s not going to be easy. I would think the tax revolt and the financial collapse is going to bring it to an end a lot sooner than transition in the Congress. But we should work for education and understanding and we should work to change the Congress and then we should be prepared for the rest. Q: I’ve been telling people for ten years: "Don’t do anything stupid. Work within the system. Change the system. Fix what’s broken. Don’t do anything precipitous." Are you telling me I’m wrong? A: No I’m saying that’s what I do -- and that’s what we should do -- but we ought to be prepared for the other. I don’t know what the future will bring. Maybe all of a sudden the Congress will reflect our views a lot better than I think they are going to. Q: Yeah and maybe the sun will come up in the west in the morning? A: They have to cut spending. When they get in these tax arguments about whether it’s a legal tax or an illegal tax -- to me it’s irrelevant. Should we have a sales tax or an income tax? I hate the income tax -- I’ll do anything to get rid of the IRS. That’s not really the point. Q: What is the point? A: That’s the symptom of the disease. The disease is that we’ve allowed our government to get so big and we’ve established a nanny-state and a warfare-state and we’ve allowed our Congress to give up all their responsibilities to our courts and to the president. So that’s where the problem is. The IRS and the income tax is the symptom of the problem. We have to deal with the big picture as well. Q: The inevitable and ubiquitous question I hear all the time is: "What can we as citizens do to fix what is broken?" A: We all have a responsibility. I have a responsibility to introduce the proper legislation and then I have a responsibility to try to get others to understand what it is and support it. In the case of the International Criminal Court if I can get co-sponsors it would help. That means anybody reading this should call their congressman and raise Cain with them to support my resolution…which is HconRes 23 that would be very helpful. If they call up The Liberty Committee website, they can find a resolution, they can sign and it will be sent to the president and we can let the president know where we stand and we don’t want him to have this ratified. We want him to announce to the world that this treaty should not be accepted. We have a responsibility to educate ourselves to what is going on and then become politically active. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U.
