Rights (38)

The Law
by Frederic Bastiat (06/01/1850)
The Law, first published as a pamphlet in June, 1850, is already more than a hundred years old. And because its truths are eternal, it will still be read when another century has passed. Frederic Bastiat (1801-1850) was a French economist, statesman, and author. He did most of his writing during the years just before -- and immediately following -- the French Revolution of February 1848. This is an absolute must read for anyone interested in law, justice, truth, or liberty. A most compelling and revolutionary look at The Law.

'Sir Daniel' going to jail
by Les Perreaux (08/28/2001)
A self-styled knight of Christian orders who cited the King James Bible as authority for his tax evasion was sentenced yesterday to five years, eight months in prison and ordered to pay the $2.4-million he owes the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency.

A Republic, If You Can Keep It
by Ron Paul (02/02/2000)
At the close of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia on September 18, 1787, a Mrs. Powel anxiously awaited the results, and as Benjamin Franklin emerged from the long task now finished, asked him directly: "Well Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?" "A republic if you can keep it," responded Franklin.

A State Senator Explains 14th Amendment Citizenship
by Wayne Stump, Arizona State Senator (10/21/1999)
When one reflects on the meaning of "We the People" in the Consititution of the USA, it would seem to mean that the Preamble People were a class of people who, with the aid of God, originally secured their Liberty with the protections they constructed into the Organic Constitution and the first ten Amendments thereto. This, being the case, tends to bring the import of the 14th Amendment into focus.

Bankers' Central Bank Warns US Bubble Will Pop
US Blackout Of Story
by John Hoefle (06/13/2000)
The Bank for International Settlements (BIS), in a report issued on June 5, 2000, and in a major international press conference accompanying the release of the report at its headquarters in Basel, Switzerland the same day, confirmed that a global financial crash is right around the corner. While that assessment has been given banner headlines throughout Europe, the warning has been blacked out of the U.S. press. The story was even in the international editions of the Wall Street Journal, NY Times and Washington Post (IHT) and was on all the wires, but there was a total blackout in their US editions and in all but a few media here.

Canadian Court Cases on the Constitutionality of the Income Tax Act
by Paul McKeever (09/01/2000)
There haven't been any recent successes in the Canadian courts with the argument that the Income Tax Act is unconstitutional. Judges consistently uphold the federal government's unrestricted authority to lay any tax by any means.

Do You Have A Right to Police Protection?
by Bill (05/12/2000)
One of the basic themes of gun control is that only the police and military should have handguns or any type of firearm. I cannot explain their rationale, other than to say that gun control proponents must believe that the police exist to protect the citizenry from victimization. But in light of court decisions we find such is not the case. You have no right to expect the police to protect you from crime. Incredible as it may seem, the courts have ruled that the police are not obligated to even respond to your calls for help, even in life threatening situations!. To be fair to our men in blue, I think most officers really do want to save lives and stop dangerous situations before people get hurt. But the key point to remember is that they are under no legal obligation to do so.

Elian and the Establishment
by Edward Zehr (05/15/2000)

Fraud Shown in Passage of 16th Amendment
by Larry Becraft (04/01/1989)
The federal government and its tax agencies, supported by our congressmen, would like for us to believe that the power of the government to tax was greatly changed by the ratification of the Sixteenth Amendment in February 1913. Having been denied the right to tax incomes by a Supreme Court decision in 1895, Uncle Sam claims that, once this Amendment was ratified, a constitutional deficiency was corrected by the Amendment and that after 1913, it had a legal right to claim a portion of income of every American in taxes.

Gun Control: Myths And Realities

to guns causes higher crime, is contradicted by the facts, by
history and by reason.

Just Who Or What Is This "IRS?"
by Devvy Kidd (02/06/2000)
The IRS has never been created by Congress. The IRS remains silient on the official challenge to show what act of Congress created it.

Nepali Economy & Policy
by Business Age (09/01/2000)
The IMF helps Nepal 'westernize' their tax system. Take a look at how a small nation is reeled in. There's no reference to the lawfulness of such changes. The tax code is proving to be a maze of inconsistencies but the bottom line is that the labours and properties of Nepalese are fair game -- there are no laws that protect the rights of people in Nepal. Here is a perfect example of how it is being done. Be sure to check out the 'Rights of a Taxpayer' as the IMF sees them.

Our Enemy, the State
by Albert Jay Nock (10/01/1935)
Originally published in 1935, this elegant essay on the nature of the state shows the important distinction between state power and social power. "Every assumption of power, whether by gift or seizure," Nock writes, "leaves society with so much less power; there is never, nor can be, any strengthening of State power without a corresponding and roughly equivalent depletion of social power."

Rebellion or Revolution?
by Steffan M. Bertsch (07/04/1996)
An Everett, Washington attorney, Steffan M. Bertsch, has spent over eighteen months examining the IRC and its regulations and has concluded that there is no authority for the IRS to seize any personal or real property in Washington State for alleged income tax liabilities from most citizens.

Sixth Rule
by John Adams (06/01/1788)
John Adams, in this chapter, is reviewing a 1656 work by Marchamont Nedham (1620-1678), titled "The Excellency of a free State, or the right Constitution of a Commonwealth," from which Adams quotes extensively. Notice should be made especially of the last paragraph, in which Adams outlines his views on the two legitimate functions of the right to keep and bear arms, which are for private self-defense, and for enforcing the law as a member of the general militia, under the direction of a democratically elected government (as local as possible). Note also his earlier analysis of the dangers inherent in a democratic tyranny of the majority, and, in passing, an explanation of the ancient origin of the phrase "crossing the Rubicon."

Sorry, Mr. Franklin, “We’re All Democrats Now”
by Ron Paul (01/29/2003)
At the close of the Constitutional Conventional in 1787, Benjamin Franklin told an inquisitive citizen that the delegates to the Constitutional Convention gave the people “a Republic, if you can keep it.” We should apologize to Mr. Franklin. It is obvious that the Republic is gone, for we are wallowing in a pure democracy against which the Founders had strongly warned... (Speech before House of Representatives, Jan 29, 2003)

Tax Refusal In Canada
by Daniel J. Lavigne (10/01/2000)
"Does birth as a human being truly condemn one to paying taxes to, or otherwise supporting, a society so cowardly and lost to the madness of greed as to wilfully participate in plans and preparations that are based on a sure and certain will and capacity to use nuclear and other Weapons of Mass Murder; and mock thereby the very meaning of existence?" - Daniel Lavigne

Tennessee Man Freed on Tax Charges
by Larry Becraft (09/29/2000)
In an amazing court case involving the "income tax," a Chattanooga jury agreed with the argument by the defendant that the "income tax" is actually an excise tax and only applies to certain classes of people.

The Age Of Reason, by Thomas Paine (1794)
http://www.infidels.org/library/historical/thomas_paine/age_of_reason/intro.html
To my fellow Citizens of the United States of America, I put the following work under your protection. It contains my opinion upon Religion. You will do me the justice to remember, that I have always strenuously supported the Right of every Man to his own opinion, however different that opinion might be to mine. He who demies to another this right, makes a slave of himself to his present opinion, because he precludes himself the right of changing it.
The most formidable weapon against errors of every kind is Reason. I have never used any other, and I trust I never shall.
Your affectionate friend and fellow citizen, Thomas Paine
Luxembourg, 8th Pluvoise,
Second Year of the French Republic, one and indivisable.

The Bill of Rights
Articles I - X
by The AWARE Group (02/01/2002)
The first Ten Articles of Amendment to the Constitution, collectively known as the "Bill of Rights", were proposed by the First Congress of the United States and submitted to the States September 25, 1789. Here are some explanations, history, and intent for each article and section.

The Complete Works of Robert Green Ingersoll
http://www.infidels.org/library/historical/robert_ingersoll/
The Age of Enlightenment dawned upon the world in that hour when Robert Ingersoll first delivered his lecture on The Gods, the opening chapter of this volume. In that hour the darkness of medieval madness and hypocrisy and witchcraft and superstition began to give way. The armies of the Terrible Unseen commenced to melt away into mist. The phantoms and weird horrors which had haunted the imaginations of men faded in the sunshine and sanity of an Emancipator who was the personal friend of Lincoln and did as much for enslaved minds as Lincoln had done for enslaved bodies!

The Declaration of Independence for Modern Readers
A Satire
by Matt Neuman (07/04/2000)
Given the recent trend to modernize classic works of literature, it seemed logical to modernize one of the great works of American literature: the Declaration of Independence. Jefferson and Co.'s affirmation of freedom and democracy is a wonderful document, but it simply doesn't speak to the current generation of TV-addicted zombies who wouldn't know a remote power from a remote control. With its archaic language and references to an unfamiliar, non-digital world, the D of I is sorely in need of an update to take it into the 21st Century. Hopefully this new version will be taught in our grade schools and civics classes, and a paper copy of it will replace the aging original now decomposing in the National Archives.

The Story of the Buck Act
by Richard McDonald (02/20/2002)
When passing new statutes, the Federal government always does everything according to the principles of law. In order for the Federal Government to tax a Citizen of one of the several states, they had to create some sort of contractual nexus. This contractual nexus is the "Social Security Number".

These United States Of America ... Are Not a Democracy!
by James Kraft-Lorenz (04/18/2004)
The United States of America was never intended to be a democracy. The framers and ratifiers meant to impose the stable rule of law and not the rule of men, motivated, at the instant, by whim and passion. Democracy is the antithesis of the rule of law, for it is precisely the rule of the voters: that is, rule without limits, obtaining its power from 50%, plus 1, regardless of the established law. Under demos (populace) kratos (master), from the Greek, the mere whim of the majority, right, wrong or indifferent, becomes the law. A lynch mob is democratic within this definition.

Sovereignty (46)

The "Boston Pamphlet"
by Boston Committee of Correspondence (09/01/1772)
Alarmed by Britain’s decision to remove the colonial assembly’s right to pay the governor’s and judges’ salaries -- thus removing any power it might wield over royal officials -- a group of Boston citizens led by Samuel Adams, James Otis, and Joseph Warren formed a citizens’ committee to oppose the action. The committee compiled a three-part document soon known as the “Boston Pamphlet” and distributed it throughout the colony. The document (1) asserted the colonists’ rights as men under natural law, as Christians under God’s law in the New Testament, and as British subjects under the British constitution; (2) listed twelve violations of those rights by Britain; and (3) invited response from other Massachusetts towns. Soon over one hundred new town “committees of correspondence” had been formed in Massachusetts.

Albert Jay Nock, Forgotten Man of the Right

Goodbye Cold War, Hello Resource Wars
http://www.alternet.org/story.html?StoryID=10797
Last year Bill Gates went through 4.7 million gallons of water -- nearly 60 times the consumption of a typical homeowner. His water bill was $24,828. He probably gladly paid it (or more likely never saw it) and it made the news not because Americans face water shortages but because the number on the bill ranks decently high among outrageous consumption stories.
But according to Michael Klare, director of the Five College Program in Peace and World Security Studies at Hampshire College and author of the new Resource Wars: The New Landscape of Global Conflict, such news may soon be cause for alarm.

Lip service to democracy
by Pierre Lemieux (05/08/2001)
The whole process of Summits of the Americas -- the one in Quebec City being the third -- is not only about the project of a Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA). It is also about creating a bicontinental cartel of 34 states to prevent competition among governments and to better control their citizens.

Model Nullification Resolutions for State Legislatures
The Proposed Tennessee Resolutions of 2012
by Publius Huldah (03/14/2012)
These proposed Resolutions are patterned on the relevant portions of The Kentucky Resolutions of 1798, written by Thomas Jefferson, and focus on administrative “rules” made by a Department within the Executive Branch of the federal government. This Model may be easily adapted to address acts of Congress which are outside the scope of its enumerated powers; Executive Orders which are outside the scope of the President’s enumerated powers; and supreme Court opinions which exceed their enumerated powers and disregard the federal Constitution, such as their lawless rulings banning public expressions of the Faith of Our Fathers and misapplying Sec. 1 of the 14th Amendment in order to undermine the morals of the People and to destroy the residuary sovereignity of The States.

No Treason. No. 1

Socioeconomics, Sovereignty, and Freedom
by Sons of Liberty (06/01/1996)
The Sons of Liberty have documented 300+ years long continuous, activist advocacy, through several changes of names and tactics but direct, unbroken and continuous nevertheless, of what is today called communism, though undoubtedly not for much longer: in the last 30 years they have changed the label they use three times! It appears to be in the middle of yet another name and tactic metamorphosis right now. Don't let them fool you.

The 13th Amendment 'Disappears'
Titles of Nobility and Honor
by The AWARE Group (02/01/2002)
Twenty years after the passage of the Bill of Rights, in January, 1810, Senator Reed proposed another "title of nobility" Amendment. On April 27, 1810, the Senate voted to pass the 13th Amendment by a vote of 26 to 1; the House resolved in the affirmative 87 to 3; and the following resolve was sent to the States for ratification. After 12 of the required 13 states had ratified the Amendment, war broke out with England, and Washington was burned along with most of the federal governments records. Was it ratified or not?

The Council on Foreign Relations and The New World Order
by William Blase (03/19/1995)
For those who may be confused by the controversies surrounding the "New World Order", a One-World-Government, and American concern over giving the UN more power. If one group is effectively in control of national governments and multinational corporations; promotes world government through control of media, foundation grants, and education; and controls and guides the issues of the day; then they control most options available. The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), and the financial powers behind it, have done all these things, and promote the "New World Order", as they have for over seventy years. The CFR is the promotional arm of the Ruling Elite in the United States of America. Most influential politicians, academics and media personalities are members, and it uses its influence to infiltrate the New World Order into American life.
