© 2005 WorldNetDaily.com "Rather than love, than money, than fame, give
me truth." Henry David Thoreau Bill Benson, for those who don't know, is
the individual who holds the 17,000 court certified documents that prove beyond
any doubt that the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was never ratified.
The U.S. Internal Revenue Service uses the 16th Amendment, supported by
compromised federal judges, to defraud the American people of the fruit of
their labors via the income tax. All the American people ever see or read is
the propaganda spewed by the Department of Justice's lackey U.S. attorneys is
that the 16th Amendment was ratified, it is the basis for the IRS to collect
taxes and any argument to the contrary is "frivolous." Right now my dear
friend, Bill Benson, is involved in a major court battle with the feds. Despite
his very serious health issues, this lion is not about to give up the fight. I
encourage everyone to read it. What this lawsuit by the feds
against Bill amounts to is the complete and total destruction of free speech.
It is designed to crush the truth and the First Amendment using the full force
of the federal machine. This lawsuit is to keep the truth Bill has uncovered
away from the American people. The non-ratified 16th Amendment says:
The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from
whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and
without regard to any census or enumeration.
Few people, especially those pushing alternative taxing schemes have little
or no understanding of the importance of "apportionment among the several
States, and without regard to any census or enumeration." It is because of
those carefully crafted words that the shadow government was willing to risk
the fraudulent announcement of the 16th Amendment. They needed this amendment
passed because the Federal Reserve Act was to be passed later that year (1913)
and the income tax was created solely to feed the central bank. The late, great
Vivien Kellems knew exactly the importance of those words: Since a
capitation means a tax of the same amount for every person, this provision
makes doubly sure that all federal taxes must be at the same uniform rate for
everybody. This limitation that direct taxes be levied by the Federal
Government must be in proportion to a census and apportioned among the States
in accordance with numbers, is the only provision in the Constitution that is
stated twice ... "No capitation, or other direct tax shall be laid, unless in
proportion to the Census of Enumeration hereinbefore directed to be taken." And
in those two sentences our forefathers bound fast the hands of Congress and
secured the liberty and freedom of the American people. How? By making it
utterly impossible to levy an income tax ... An income tax is certainly a
direct tax, probably the most direct tax of all since it cannot be shifted but
must be paid by the person receiving the income. By specifying that direct
taxes must be levied in accordance with the number of people, not upon what
they produced, as in the days of ancient Egypt, an income tax was simply out of
the question. It cannot be levied upon a man, but must be levied upon what he
receives ... The supreme achievement of the combined brains of all those men
were written into those two sentences and the freedom and liberty of the
American people were secured in them. For in those two sentences the
right of the free man to own something was made inviolate. This was his
distinguishing mark, the only criterion of freedom in all the world, the right
of the common man to retain for himself the fruit of his labor ... But his
power to levy direct taxes was limited by an ironbound restriction: that tax
must be apportioned among the States in accordance with the population. Since
all taxes were to be at a uniform rate, Congress simply could not penalize one
section of the country, or one group of citizens for the unfair advantage of
another ... This was the most brilliant plan ever conceived for guaranteeing
the freedom of a nation. It protected every person in his right to private
property, rich and poor alike, and under this protection we built the richest,
most powerful nation on earth. We achieved and maintained for the majority of
our people a standard of living undreamed of before, the hope and the envy of
the whole world.
The feds may have finally stepped in their lies so deep, they cannot escape
without the truth being exposed. As Benson's brilliant legal counsel, Jeffrey
Dickstein, points out: As previously discussed, the United States can not
prevail as a matter of law unless it can prove Benson "made or caused to be
made false or fraudulent statements concerning the tax benefits to be derived
from the entity, plan or arrangement" and that "he knew or had reason to know
the statements were false or fraudulent." This requires the United States to
prove the Sixteenth Amendment was properly ratified, because if it were not
properly ratified, Benson's statements would not be false or fraudulent, they
would be true, and the United States' action would fail.
