Firearms listed. I learned that the Bureau of Internal Revenue, a.k.a., Internal
Revenue, internal revenue, Internal Revenue Service, the Bureau of Internal
Revenue Service, internal revenue service, Official Internal Revenue Service,
the Federal Alcohol Administration, Director Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms
Division, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms are one and the
same organization. Their organizational offices and field offices have not been
recorded in the Federal Register. They are all invisible as a matter of law.

Constructive Fraud

My investigation discovered that, except for the very few who are engaged
in specific or licensed activities, the Citizens of the fifty States of the united
States of America have never been required to file or to pay “income taxes.”
The Federal government is engaged in constructive fraud on a massive scale.
Americans who have been frightened into filing and paying “income taxes”
have been robbed. Millions of lives have been ruined. Thousands of innocent
people have been imprisoned on the pretense they violated a law that does
not exist. Marriages have been destroyed; property has been levied upon to
pay taxes that were never owed. Many have been driven to suicide or insanity.
The home of the free and land of the brave is not a description that I would
give to the modern day United States.

Lincoln’s War Powers Tax

During the Civil war, Abraham Lincoln imposed what would later be
termed a “War Powers Act” and a war tax upon the citizens of the Federal
Government. The War tax lawfully applied only to those citizens who were
considered to be in rebellion against the Union or who resided within the
federal District of Columbia or the federally owned territories, dockyards,
naval bases, and forts. Many Citizens of the several States volunteered to pay
believing they were required to do so or simply because they wanted to help
in the war effort. After the war the tax was repealed. This left the impression
with the general population of the country that the President and Congress
had the constitutional authority to levy an unapportioned direct tax upon
the Citizens of the several States. In fact, no such tax had ever been imposed.
The Tax was not fraud on the part of Mr. Lincoln or the Congress, as nothing
