Illusion

Deception, quick hands, sophistry and obfuscation all constitute the art
of magic. Those who practice in illusion are called magicians or, in the less
poetic sense, “politicians” – “now you see me; now you don’t.” The Congress
and the IRS are full of magicians who have created their web of deceit and
illusion in the tax laws, not by quick hands but by illusory language. Have you
ever questioned why your Christian name is spelled in all capital letters, when
we all know that English grammar requires the spelling of all proper nouns
in upper and lower case letters? I can assure you that it is not for clarity. Does
the word “person” in statutory law mean the same as in everyday language
usage? You are about to discover the answer to both of those questions.
In the beginning of the Twentieth Century, when the courts still had truly
honorable judges, they ruled some of those early tax laws unconstitutional or
unlawful. The IRS immediately removed themselves outside the jurisdiction
and venue of the courts, to the Philippines and Puerto Rico. By deceiving and
coercing the population, beginning with the War Tax Act of 1942, the Congress
and the IRS continued their unconstitutional and criminal activity to this
day. These criminal magicians have convinced the American population that
citizens of this nation are of a status that they are not – that they are subjects
of the federal government, which they are not – not collective sovereigns.
They led us to believe that we must do things that are not required to be
done or go to jail. Through the clever use of “IRS-speak” and the Congress’
“word art,” the Executive Branch promotes the fraud, the Congress turns a
blind eye to their misconduct (but they have hearings that they hope will
demonstrate their outrage to the voters), and then their dishonorable courts
ratify the alleged criminal misconduct by rubber-stamping the convictions of
innocent Citizens.
To illustrate my point on the complicity of the court in this
immoral scheme, I refer to a recent case before the Supreme Court, the
case of United States v. Sandra L. Craft, Case No. 00-1831, in hearing on
January 14, 2002. The Assistant Solicitor General, Mr. Kent L. Jones,
was asked a question from the court:
Q. “… some penalties for failing to file a return?”
A. “There are some penalties, but the penalties, like taxes, have to be
enforced against the property of the taxpayer, and if the taxpayer is allowed to
