I just learned a fun fact which I actually fact checked and it’s 100% true: The etymology of the word ‘reset’ was from Scottish law and it means ‘receiver of stolen goods’. How apropos, no?!

Its also a combination of the words RE and SET. Look up what pagan Gods were given these names.

There are so many, and ever increasing in numbers, non-democratic, un-constitutional, anti-citizen, 1984 type actions and efforts by our professional politicians in DC and their un-constitutional delegated federal creations that the question is when, not if, enough is enough, and our federal government is finally overthrown by the people it no longer represents.

Not desirable, for always results in a period of chaos. But, otherwise, what’s it going to take? Simply changing from one party to the other isn’t going to do it. Our elected do not read the bills they sign! Their time is too valuable to bother knowing what the Hell they are signing. They sign as instructed by their staffs. These staffs take direction from lobbyists, not all of whom are corporate, but also agency, representing those whose interests will profit. It’s a non-democratic mess.

Search for my book: " Why No One is Required to File Tax Returns", it sold out two editions and I let it go free on the web. There is a judicial conspiracy to protect the income tax. It is worse than you can imagine. The book is out of print and sometimes you can get it on Amazon but they get snatched up fast. ---Bill Conklin

Would you be interested in writing a guest post summarizing and maybe even expanding on your book?

Thanks.

Here it is:

I had the good fortune to assist in many criminal tax trials and during the many hours in court the defense attorneys would argue that the information on tax returns could not be entered into the court record because the tax returns were filed voluntarily. The Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution states that Americans cannot be required to give the government information that can be used in criminal cases. However the IRS indicts people for the crime of not filing returns. I devised a way to challenge the issue in court and I filed a return without a signature and gave the IRS District Counsel the power of attorney to file the return for me if they could do it without waiving my Fifth Amendment Rights. I was fined

$500 for filing a frivolous return. I sued using the proper procedures, the court told me that the fact that I was asking the court to overturn the federal tax system was fatal to my case. the judge sat on my motion for summary judgment and finally ruled against me. He stated in his argument that I misunderstood the Fifth Amendment, that it only applies to compelled testimony. I appealed all the way to the Supreme Court and was fined $6,000 for arguing the frivolous argument of law that filing tax returns is compelled. The IRS came after me for the fine and I explained to them that if they sued me, I would have another chance to overturn the tax system in my argument, so they dropped it and I wrote my book which has sold out two editions and is now free on the internet: I am not arguing that you do not have to pay income taxes. The IRS has the legal ability to invent a phoney tax liability and take your home, your bank account and everything you own. Justg be aware that the entire system is based on massive fraud. My book proves it.

Yes. Do you think the introduction of computers made the systemic fraud easier and less complicated, easier to hide?

A mistake in the first sentence: voluntarily should be involuntarily

PS the back of your book claims that one should pre-pay taxes? Very strange.

Eliminate all corporate tax loop holes and move towards a just tax to only fund necessary public institutions for the health and welfare of the US citizen. Time our government officials answer to their constituents (individuals and not corporations) and not this march towards totalitariamism!

When the Republican party pushed through the legislation that gave corporations the same rights as individuals, I knew we were in for big trouble. How come Trump says nothing on this issue? As well as all the other politicians.!

No, we need to limit the general welfare. No unemployment, no agencies, nothing but roads, bridges and defense.

Amen! The Government should not be in the business of social welfare

Wrong. We need local communities honoring common law. The Federal government has metastasized into an unconstitutional cancer.

Certainly not one where the producers have to share with the non-producers. We already are doing that anyway.

By June 2015, China's external debt stood at around USD1.6 trillion.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_debt_of_China

The US dollar is the primary global reserve currency. A large - if shrinking - slice of global trade is conducted in US dollars without involving the US economy at all. The US dollar is also used in many countries alongside and/or instead of the national currency. Many jurisdictions also operate US dollar pegs or boards. None of these dollars has to be spent in the US.

Not really. Saudi Arabia can sell their (shrinking) dollar revenue to buy anything anywhere. The days of threatening regime change are over. Riyadh is already accepting other currencies for oil and KSA is now a BRICS member. The geo-strategic landscape has already changed. The world sees that the emperor has no clothes. This will become even more apparent when Biden's investment in the war in Ukraine is exposed as a complete, costly and tragic farce.

US debt to China is? 2 Trillion or more?

This is Biblical "No one will be able to buy or sell"...

One may be able to 'slow' the wheels of Prophecy... but the powers are waaaay ahead of the ignorant masses who prefer the Kardashian Reboot, Smoking Weed, 2,000 + hours on gaming, sex with AI on the internet than bother with understanding CBDC....

Thank you for writing this. I didn't think to combine the CBDC with the AI. That's why YOU'RE 2SG. I also cross-posted, urging people to read the comments too. The time is NOW to have 3 trances (IMO): digital, so the IRS can steal on a platform they demand we use; physical, in the form of metals and goods; and blockchain. What worries me about BTC is having access to the Internet blocked.

If any aspect of this is implemented we’re doomed. It will never be unwoven, and will only grow... all under the guise of being a “safer” more “protected” way to bank... of course the bots and NPCs will sign up immediately

The "Republicans" can't even impeach a man who was recorded on stage openly boasting that he had carried out impeachable offences against a foreign prosecutor so I hold zero hope that they will defend Americans or anyone else against anything the other arm of their Uniparty does.

Hi 2SGITW, thanks for staying on the economy. Karl Marx did not write the Communist Manifesto; a banker did. It's not communism but it's property confiscation dressed up as a hippy movement for civil rights - from this fascinating 1991 lecture, recommended by Henry Makow. "Connecting the Dots: How the Financial World Will Collapse." Makow says that this lecture ruined the speaker's life and put him in prison where he died in 2004. He discusses the hidden history of Marxism at about the 1 hour 42 min mark.

Not strange at all. The IRS will raid your bank account, take your car and home and destroy you and the courts will let them get away with it. Don't go to war in a bathing suit.
