CONTRACT

In a
Contract Law Judgment setting, questions sounding in the Tort of
unfairness
regarding the interference of a person not a party to a
contract
in causing a person who is a party to a contract not to honor
his
contract is irrelevant, as I will explain later on; and so when
cries
of unfairness wallow up at the Judgment Day, as claims of
unfairness
will be heard in having had Lucifer's low key assistants
hacking
away at us down here, those cries will then be in vain, as the
unfairness
in Contract Law of outside interference in contract
administration
is irrelevant in measuring contract performance itself.
For
example, the fact that an Employer terminated your livelihood, and
you
subsequently experienced a cessation of money coming in, and so that
now you
are unable to pay your apartment lease payments, is irrelevant
in an
Tenant Eviction Proceeding. Either you
have paid your rent as the
Lease
Contract calls for, or you haven't.
Even though the secondary
effect
of your livelihood being terminated directly restrained you from
honoring
your Lease Contract due to a lack of money, your Employer is
not a
party to that apartment Lease Contract, so what your Employer did
or did
not do is not relevant in a leasehold Eviction Proceeding. That
is
Contract Law Jurisprudence; its cold, mean, and it isn't really very
"fair"
-- so now addressing that face on, we should start to negotiate
our
personal business contracts on terms we can live with, rather than
snicker
at Judges when we are in default later on.
Remember the reason
why
"fairness" is not relevant in a contract grievance: Because if
judges
allowed "fairness," so called, to enter into one side of the
grievance
and benefit one party, the effect of the entrance of such
"fairness"
into the evidentiary setting presented to the Judge for a
ruling,
will always work a Tort on the other party.
What is the correct
solution? Ignore all claims for "fairness"
and just enforce the
contract. Cold, brutal, mean, harsh? Yes... but proper. Rather than
snicker
at Judges at that late date well after you are in default, you
might
want to address the origin of your problem:
You entered into a
contract
you could not handle under a worst case scenario (worst case
meaning
loss of livelihood).
And
those are the kinds of very narrow and precise lines that we need
to
think in, in understanding Contract Law.
You may very well have
legitimate
mitigating circumstances to justify why you could not honor
a
contract -- but is an ELECTION OF REMEDIES for the Party that you are
in
default to, to decide what he intends to do with you, and it is not
anything
for an enforcement judge to take notice of.
But
contrary to the SUB ROSA silence of Lucifer on the existence of any
Contracts
in effect with Father, Father is in fact operating on
Contracts
and under Contract Law Jurisprudence with all of us down here,
and not
on the principles, fairness, equality, and justice of pure
natural
moral Tort Law. So only the content of
our Contracts will be
of
concern to Father at the Last Day.
Under the justice of natural Tort
Law,
the equality of judgment fairness requires that a person be
adjudged
on the basis of how other similar people are being adjudged;
but
this is not relevant to Father for our purposes at our Final
Judgment. [118]
[118]=============================================================
There
are
many people who take the view, seemingly very reasonably that, since
they
have accepted Jesus Christ into their lives, and since they are
just as
good and moral as anyone else they know (and a lot more moral
than
many other people), then it is quite reasonable that they will be
going
to Heaven. This view is very widespread
today, and it is also
quite
defective. First, the fact that you are
just as good and moral
as
anyone else is irrelevant to Father in our impending Judgment Day to
be held
under a Contract Law jurisprudential setting.
Father has no
interest
in any relative or collectively weighed anything. You,
individually
and personally, have either progressed under your Contract,
or you
haven't; and what some guy down the street does or avoids is not
relevant
to you and your Contract. The unfairness
of possibly being
treated
worse than someone else in a grievance is a Tort Law argument.
Second,
the fact that you have accepted Jesus Christ into your life is
very
significant -- but only as a point of beginning, and not as a
terminating
wrap up to anything. The error made by
many Christian folks
-- that
their acceptance of Jesus Christ completes their forward motions
on
Heavenly matters -- is the same error that many other folks make by
assigning
either a terminating or concluding attribute to the execution
of
contracts [like walking out of an automobile dealership with a sigh
of
relief that since you've the contract and the car is your's, well,
that
ends the matter; sorry, but that PURCHASE AND SALE CONTRACT only
started
the matter]. Entering into a contract
-- whether with Heavenly
Father
or anyone else -- is always just a point of beginning, a fact
that
sharp Gremlins have taken very astute notice of. While taking
about a
Diplomatic Treaty that was just signed (and Treaties between
Governments
are contracts): "It is a
fundamental mistake to assume
that
the treaty ends where it really begins.
The signing of the
document
on June 28, 1919 at Versailles did not complete its history;
it
really began it. THE MEASURE OF WORTH
LIES IN THE PROCESS OF ITS
EXECUTION
AND THE SPIRIT IN WHICH IT IS CARRIED OUT BY ALL OF THE
PARTIES
TO THE CONTRACT." - Bernard Baruch in THE MAKING OF THE
REPARATIONS
AND ECONOMIC SECTIONS OF THE TREATY, at page 8 [Harper &
Brothers,
New York (1920)]. (The italics
formation of the last sentence
was
that way in the original, so it represents an idea Bernard Baruch
deemed
important). Here is a Gremlin -- Bernard Baruch --telling us that
when he
participated in partially negotiating the Treaty of Versailles
in
1919, he knew that many folks commonly view the execution of Treaties
to be
the end of the matter; but sharp Gremlins know that contracts only
start
the action in motion; so we too should be cognizant of this
attribute
in Nature.
=============================================================[118]
Those
Torts that are committed by us and those great things that are
done by
us outside of our Contracts are irrelevant to Father (and to
ourselves
at the Judgment Day); also irrelevant will be those factors
of
natural Tort Law, such as fairness, rights, equality, and justice.
So the
Illuminatti, going into the Judgment Day with their pure natural
moral
Tort Law excuses all very neatly lined up to justify, vitiate, and
excuse
their incredible abominations under Lucifer's brilliant
counselling,
will be just like a Constitutionalist, so called, going
into a
7203 prosecution judgment with a bank account contract and
arguing
principles of natural and moral Tort Law (want of a MENS REA,
morality,
rights, basic justice, privacy rights, no CORPUS DELECTI
damages,
unfairness, excessive Eighth Amendment punishment for a mere
omission,
Common Law says..., etc.) and then demanding justice, and all
of
these elements of Tort Law pronounced very well through numerous
Supreme
Court rulings and Constitutional clauses; but they are not
applicable
to the merits of a Contract Law Judgment setting. Both the
pseudo-clever
Illuminatti Gremlin and well-meaning Constitutionalist who
still
needs intellectual development on Contract Law Jurisprudence, are
both
totally convinced that they are absolutely correct -- but the
unknown
reality is that they are both just plain wrong, and for the
identical
same reason: Their arguments,
reasoning, and justifications,
although
absolutely correct in another judgment setting of pure natural
moral
Tort Law, are off-point by a wide variance:
Because in both of
those
Judgment Day and 7203 judgment settings that the Illuminatti
Gremlin
and well-meaning Constitutionalist are being adjudged by, are
under
invisible Contract Jurisprudence and Contract Law, not Tort Law.
[119]
[119]=============================================================
As
a
concluding by-line to this digressionary discussion here on Father and
Contracts,
if you'll but give it a few moments thought and imagination,
it is
interesting to note that this impending Judgment Day arrangement
that
Father designed, gives a generous built in structural edge to those
persons
who are trying to become the Sons of Eloha, and the procedure
itself
also creates obstacles for those who have no interest in such a
Celestial
Objective (as if the operation of the Judgment Day mechanical
procedure
itself assists in separating embryonic Eloha from their
ministrants). So now we need to ask ourselves a
question: Does that
structural
arrangement sound like it comes from someone who knows what
he is
doing? Yes, it sounds like Father knows
exactly what he is doing;
and if
that is true, then we should listen very carefully to anything
Father
has to say and would like us to do. And
consistent with Father's
intentions
to give his Sons the edge whenever possible, while exposing
them to
the same environment and standards as everyone else, comes the
following
arrangement: That after we enter into
Father's Advanced
Contracts
down here there are some other circumstances we can go through
down
here to accelerate the Judgment Day to the present time (but that
is
another Letter). I am only making the
comparative point here that
the
lack of national collective interest on the extreme significance of
that
Judgment Day accelerant statement replicates the lack of national
collective
interest on the extreme significance of bank accounts and
other
high-powered contracts as those Equity instruments define our sub-
parity
relationship with the King. In both
cases, this information is
freely
floating around the countryside, but one first has to define
objectives,
ask questions, and then exert efforts in order to get to and
then
understand answers to questions. (And
it is the discipline and
serious
attitude such a procedure requires which largely explains why
there
are so few people around who possess such important knowledge; not
that
there are few knowledgeable persons that is an inverse indicia to
gauge
the importance of the knowledge).
=============================================================[119]
Knowing
what you do now about Tort Law rationale and our First Estate
Contracts
with Father, let us examine, just for the moment, the Old
Testament's
account of Sodom. There was a city, we
are told, full of
licentiousness
and whoremongering, and although that behavior doesn't
sound
too attractive to most folks, let us consider the fact that in
such
behavior there are no damages being experienced by anyone, there
is no
MENS REA, and that all of the persons who participate in those
orgies
have consented -- and furthermore, biological benefits are
present. (When criminals are about to work a crime on
someone else,
that
advance planning in their minds is called the MENS REA. The reason
why
their mind is evil is because they were about to try and damage
either
another person, or someone else's property).
[120]
[120]=============================================================
Furthermore,
just to make things seem psychologically interesting back
then, I
am sure that Lucifer blended in some ceremonial flair into those
orgies,
by conveying the image that orgies were officially sanctioned,
somehow. Like contemporary Witches emulating their
mentors in Sodom by
performing
Fertility Rites on the Witches' Sabbath, an interesting
sounding
excuse will satisfy most folks. When
Witches are not otherwise
busy
PULLING DOWN THE MOON, almost all of their rites involving licking
down
some slice of meat [see Raymond Buckland's THE TREE, THE COMPLETE
BOOK OF
SAXON WITCHCRAFT, from Seax-Wica Voys, Box 5149, Virginia Beach,
Virginia
23455].
=============================================================[120]
So if
everyone is consenting, and there are no damages, and there is no
MENS
REA, then there is nothing to remedy, and there is no cause of
action
to effect a "retort," and there is no retortional corrective
justice
to apply, since nothing went amiss in the first place. General
reasoning
in this area is very prevalent today (meaning that many folks
today
have no concern for the inappropriate use of those ecstatic
circumstances
which initiate mammalian reproduction).
Heathens don't
like to
hear this kind of talk, but Father actually operates in an
unchanging
straight doctrinal line, without any skew to accommodate the
pleasing
intellectual music devils propagate that are sounding in the
justifying
Tort of liability mitigation, that now, just somehow,
enhanced
relative levels of technical knowledge ["this is the
Information
Age"] or that self-perceived aggrandizement of intellectual
sophistication,
relegates such anachronistic Stone Age bugaboo standards
to a
classification status demeaning to your enlightened standing.
[121]
[121]=============================================================
"We
do not
believe in situation-itis; we do not go with the people who think
that
there is a different age, that this is a different time, that these
people
are more enlightened, or that [this standard] was for old times.
Always
the Lord will hold to his statements that he has given through
the
ages, and he will expect men to respect themselves, to respect their
wives,
and the wives to respect their husbands."
- Spencer W.
Kimball
in CONFERENCE REPORTS ["God The Same Today"], page 162 (April,
1975).
=============================================================[121]
What
then gives Father the right to expect technical compliance with
such
ecstatic extracurricular circumstances that every person knows
Father
does not approve the inappropriate use of?
What gives Father the
right
to penalize us for engaging in circumstances that not only damage
no one,
but are actually biologically beneficial -- circumstances which
when
administered clinically during the formative years under a
therapeutic
factual setting will actually correct impending deviancy
inclinations? The answers lies in Contracts, for where
there lies a
Contract,
a regulatory jurisdiction is in effect and there doesn't have
to be
any damages experienced for someone to be penalized for technical
Contract
violations; and furthermore, your excuses for non-compliance
are
irrelevant should a grievance ever come to pass. That is where
Father
got the right to turn Sodom upside down and terminate all people
living
therein, and Father did so without any nymph in Sodom being
damaged,
everyone consenting to that behavior, and the residents of
Sodom
never manifesting an evil state of mind towards other residents,
as
pure, raw fleshy Hedonism was practiced without let up. [122]
[122]=============================================================
"As
a young
man David demonstrated a courage and a strength and a power that
likely
has not been equaled in all of the great characters of the
scriptures. He fought with wild beasts and overcame
them, defeated the
giant
Goliath virtually with his hands, and then served through many
years
as the leader of Israel and demonstrated in the process tremendous
control,
tremendous discipline. The greatest
enemy he had, perhaps,
through
most of these years -- at least the greatest threat to his
existence
-- was the man Saul. Yet on several
occasions when David
could
have removed this threat by taking the life of Saul, who was in
his
hands, [David] withheld [himself] and controlled those impulses.
That
demonstrated tremendous power and control.
Then later in life, as
a
mature man with all the strength that kind of life had brought him,
David
was unwise. It was not because David
was weak that he fell. He
was
unwise. I suspect that David had
reached the point where he felt
he was
strong enough to indulge the entertainment of some enticing
possibilities. On the day he stood on his rooftop and
observed the wife
of one
of his officers, instead of taking himself by the nape of the
neck,
so to speak, and saying 'David, get out of here!' David remained.
David
thought about the possibilities [of getting involved with this
slice
of meat], and those thoughts overcame David and eventually
controlled
him. One of the saddest entries in all
the scriptures, I
think,
is that which the Lord gave the Prophet Joseph Smith in Section
132 of
the DOCTRINES AND COVENANTS. Speaking
of David's situation
today,
he said, 'For he hath fallen from his exaltation, and received
his
portion.' (D&C 132:39). "...David, King David, one of the greatest
and
powerful men of the Old Testament times, could have been today among
the
Gods if he had controlled his thoughts." - Dean L. Larsen
in 1976
SPEECHES OF THE YEAR, at 121 [Brigham Young University Press,
Provo,
Utah (1976)]. The chronicles of David's life are presented in
FIRST
and SECOND SAMUEL. Notice how there was
never any unjust damages
created
by David in his life down here; David did not lose his
exaltation
because he carefully avoided damaging others, as a lot of
folks
in Christiandom incorrectly believe is important, but actually
David
lost his Celestial Status in the impending Heavenly realms that
lie
ahead because of an infracted Contract under circumstances that
created
no damages whatsoever [David mentions that he entered into
Father's
EVERLASTING COVENANT in II SAMUEL 23:5], the content of which
prohibits
promiscuous masculine excursions into the interior contours
of
feminine musculature, under certain circumstances. The defense
argument
that such ecstatic circumstances create a wide ranging array
of
beneficial biological and psychological side effects (which is
factually
correct) is not going to be relevant at the Last Day -- just
like
Tax Protesting arguments sounding in the Tort of Constitutional
unfairness
are not relevant when Federal Judges are enforcing express
Commercial
contracts (even though the Protestor is also factually
correct
as well in his Constitutional research).
And Protestors
continue
to lose today on the same grounds and for the same reasons that
good
Christian folks will lose the Celestial Kingdom and take an
honorable
second place as an Angel: Because of
failure to identify and
come to
grips with a series of invisible Contracts, and for failing to
appreciate
the extent to which contracts are elevated in Nature to an
overruling
dominate position in settling Judgments.
Father's Covenants
were
deliberately designed to provide PERSONS operating under its
jurisdictional
penumbra with a confluence of contrasting incentives to
exercise
judgment on, and it is the outcome of those decisions which
Covenant
operants make for themselves -- that is what Father wants to
see. Yet David, while he was still alive down
here, knew that he had
blown
it but good: "[Jesus Christ told
me that] he that ruleth over men
must be
just, ruling in the fear of God [and this is important to Father
because
impending Gods will themselves be ruling over angels and the
like in
the realms to come]. [...These just
persons, who are potential
Gods],
shall be as light in the morning, when the sun riseth, even a
morning
without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the Earth
by
clear shining after rain." After describing such a potential
Celestial
person in those terms, David admitted that he did not qualify:
"...although my house be not so with
God."
-
II SAMUEL 23:3 et seq.
=============================================================[122]
The
questions of damages, of the presence of a MENS REA, and of consent
are
Tort Law arguments, and are not relevant when contracts are in
effect. But wait,
"I was never baptized, I never
entered me into no Contracts with
Father. My parents never got me involved with no
church. I don't have
me no
baptism certificate in my closet."
Yes,
even you have invisible Contracts now in effect with Father. We
all
have Contracts in effect, and we all took out these contracts, all
of us
without any exceptions did this, back in the First Estate as
Spirits. And it was then and there that we were on
our knees before
Father
taking out Contracts in the angelic language we were then
speaking,
back before our memories were temporarily abated down here,
that's
when.
This
then is the Grand Key towards understanding why people want
contracts
out of you: Because that contract you
gave them gives them
the
right to deal with you effectively at a later time. In the case of
Heavenly
Father, those previous existing First Estate Contracts give
Father
the right to deal effectively with us at a later time, both
individually
and collectively down here, should our degenerate Contract
wickedness
exceed his patience and threshold level of tolerance (as the
Old
Testament documents over and over again), as well as providing a
Contract
Law Jurisprudential judgment setting at the Last Day where Tort
Law
arguments of EVIL ACCOMPLISHED IN THE GOOD NAME OF JUSTICE are
ignored. In the case of the King, he too wants
contracts out of us to
accomplish
his revenue raising objectives, and then later enforceable
against
us under threat of incarceration otherwise not permissible
absent
a Commercial contract. In the case of
Lucifer and certain Mafia
Families,
they too deal in contracts to deal effectively at a later time
with a
dissenter who leaves their ranks and starts to talk or otherwise
creates
troubles: By having the dissenter
killed. In a contemporary
Commercial
setting, merchants, lending institutions, landlords, etc. all
want
recourse contracts out of you so they can deal effectively with you
at a
later time in Summary Judgment proceedings should there be a
default. And on and on. [123]
[123]=============================================================
Illuminatti
Gremlins, vipers, Bolsheviks, witches and other associated
imps
who circulate in that genre are not the only ones to be fooled and
taken
in on Tort Law reasoning down here. Certain
eremitical monks are
another
prime example of well meaning people arranging their acts and
behavior
down here to take maximum advantage of the "avoidance of
damages"
question that haunts so many people. Of
the numerous orders
of
monks around, such as the Trappists, the Carthusians, and the
Benedictines,
perhaps it is several of the Black Monk abbeys in Europe
that
are exemplary in their zeal not to damage anything, anyone, or any
property,
at any time. These particular Black
Monks are doctrinaire
Benedictine
Monks. But unique to their own
monastery sect, they walk
through
the air slowly and lead isolated and inactive lives. On their
minds,
they are taught not to influence the direction of anything else
(i.e.,
avoid potential damages there). In
Saint Benedictine's Rules
[E.C.
Butler, BENEDICTINE MONACHISM (1924)], chapters 23 to 30 talk
about
the relationship in effect between fault for damages and
punishments
to be expected. The head monk, the
Abbott, is taught that
he will
be held accountable to answer for the souls of all of his monks
before
the judgment seat of God (chapters 2, 3, 27 and 64). Both the
willful
avoidance of damaging anything, and the doctrine that the Abbott
is
responsible before Father for the acts of others are Tort Law
arguments,
and are defective. Heavenly Father is
dealing in Contracts;
and
expecting yourself to be magnified in stature before Father at the
Last
Day due to the mere absence of not having caused any damages down
here or
assuming responsibility for what a third person does or does not
do, is
absolutely incorrect. The only third
party line of liability
down
here that we need to be concerned originates with Contracts, such
as one
that deems parents to be responsible for the acts of their
offspring,
if the child goes off on a negative tangent.
=============================================================[123]
Those
who want to go forth and FILL THE MEASURE OF THEIR CREATION, just
like
Prophets and Patriarchs, need to go out and get some replacement
Contracts
with Father; [124]
[124]=============================================================
Our
old
Patriarch Jeremiah once had a few words to say about the Principle
of
Nature that provides for a superseding layer of Covenants replacing
a
previous layer of Covenants that have fulfilled their purpose. While
quoting
Jesus Christ, Jeremiah said that:
"Behold, the days come,
saith
the Lord, that I will make a NEW COVENANT with the House of
Israel,
and with the House of Judah; Not according to the Covenant that
I made
with their fathers in that day [when] I took them by the hand to
bring
them out of Egypt; which my Covenant they [broke], although I was
a
husbandman to them; but this shall be the Covenant that I will make
with the
House of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put
my Law
in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be
their
God, and they shall be my people."
- JEREMIAH 31:31 et seq.
Here we
are being told that the terms of Covenants that were once
structured
for folks in another area are going to be replaced with terms
of a
NEW COVENANT for us; indirectly referring to the modifications made
in the
LAW OF MOSES relating to blood sacrifice rites that were deemed
unnecessary
after the Crucifixion perfected that phase of ATONEMENT.
This
passage in JEREMIAH does not talk about our own specific individual
First
Estate Contracts being replaced with another layer of NEW
COVENANTS
in this Second Estate, but the Principle that is being spoken
here,
of an organic growth in Covenants by reason of superseding
replacement,
applies to us all individually, just as Jeremiah is telling
us that
it applies to the House of Israel collectively. The operation
of this
Principle of Nature, whether applied to us individually COVENANT
BY
SUCCESSIVE COVENANT or collectively as a nation by a change in the
terms
of those COVENANTS EN MASSE, is well known in Law and is called
the
MERGER DOCTRINE by American lawyers, which I will discuss later.
Jeremiah
was a marvelous fellow, and I will have more to say about him
personally
near the end of this Letter.
=============================================================[124]
the
status of a person being a Prophet or Apostle down here does not
exalt
them or confer upon them any special entitlement, as everyone is
exalted
by reason of their Covenants with Father, and their status as
Prophets
are actually an administrative work assignment for them. [125]
[125]=============================================================
Your
ability
to be exalted is neither diminished nor exalted because you are
not a
Prophet or an Apostle. "Here [we
Apostles and Prophets are], who
[like
common Saints], are destined to be exalted with the Gods, to
become rulers
in the Kingdoms of our Father, to become equal with the
Father
and the Son..." - Brigham Young, in a discourse delivered
in the
Bowery, Salt Lake City, June 15, 1856; 3 JOURNAL OF DISCOURSES
354, at
360 [London (1856)].
=============================================================[125]
You
don't need to be a Prophet, or raise people from the dead, or be
endowed
with Celestial magic to snap your fingers and heal people of
cancer,
in order to go forth and FILL THE MEASURE OF YOUR CREATION, but
you do
need to fulfill difficult Contracts.
[126]
[126]=============================================================
"We
are a
Covenant-making and a Covenant-taking people.
We have the Gospel,
which
is the NEW AND EVERLASTING COVENANT:
NEW in that the Lord has
revealed
it anew in our day; EVERLASTING in that its principles are
eternal,
have existed with God from all eternity, and are the same
unchangeable
laws by which all men in all ages may be Saved. The Gospel
is the
Covenant which God makes with his children here on Earth that he
will
return them to His presence and give them Eternal Life, if they
will
walk the paths of truth and righteousness while here. "We are the
children
of the Covenant which God made with Abraham, or father. To
Abraham,
God promised Salvation and Exaltation if he would walk as the
Lord
taught him to walk. Further, the Lord
Covenanted with Abraham that
he
would restore to Abraham's seed the same laws and ordinances, in all
their
beauty and perfection, which that ancient patriarch had received.
'For as
many as receive that Gospel,' the Lord said to him, 'shall be
called
after thy name, and shall be accounted thy seed, and shall rise
up and
bless thee, as their father.' (Abraham
2:10). "Now we have this
same
EVERLASTING COVENANT. We have the
restored Gospel, and every
person
who belongs to the Church, who has passed through the waters of
Baptism,
has had the inestimatable privilege of making a personal
Covenant
with the Lord that will save him provided he does the things
he
agrees to do when he enters into that Covenant with God." -
Bruce
R. McConkie in CONFERENCE REPORTS ["A Covenant People"], at page
13
(October, 1950). "The Latter-day Saints are the people of God, a
chosen
people, a royal priesthood, a covenant people, and a covenant-
making
people. The greatest and most important
blessings our Heavenly
Father
has for his faithful sons and daughters are received by
covenant." -
George F. Richards, in CONFERENCE REPORTS, page 129
(April,
1945).
=============================================================[126]
...Which
leads us to the conclusory observation regarding the overall
wisdom
of ignoring the terms and conditions of contracts we sometimes
improvidently
get ourselves into: That people who are
well seasoned
experientially
realize that although ignorance may very well be bliss
in the
dreamy ALICE IN WONDERLAND emotional aura it psychologically
creates,
this line on Contract Law Jurisprudence is exemplary as to why
ignorance
is also highly self-damaging in the practical setting. [127]
[127]=============================================================
"The
first
objective of our existence is to know and understand the
principles
of life, to know good from evil, to understand light from
darkness,
to have the ability to choose between that which gives and
perpetuates
life and that which would take it away.
The volition of the
creature
to choose is free; we have this power given to us." -
Brigham Young, President of the Mormon
Church, speaking in the Old
Tabernacle,

Yes,
the benefits inuring to persons entering into and honoring Father's
New and
Everlasting Covenant are so great that the judgment of folks
trying
to search for ways to work around it (by either adapting Tort Law
reasoning
["I don't need me none of that -- it's all the same God"] or
by
adapting a posture of avoiding responsibility through claims of
factual
ignorance), really looks pathetic by comparison. [128]
[128]=============================================================
"We
can not
receive, while in the flesh, the keys [of Celestial
Jurisdiction]
to form and fashion kingdoms and to organize matter, for
they
are beyond our [limited] capacity and calling [down here], [they
are]
beyond this world. In the resurrection,
men who have been faithful
and
diligent in all things in the flesh, [who] have kept their First and
Second
Estate, [will] be crowned Gods, even the Sons of God, [and] will
be

their

=============================================================[128]
And
speaking of ignorance (and of staying in ignorance by choice): An
interesting
secondary element surfaces in the Restraining Order and the
chronologically
correlative criminal prosecution of Armen Condo. Not
only
did Armen Condo not honor his contracts with the King, he did not
even
know of their existence. [129]
[129]=============================================================
A
necessarily
difficult position to be in. However,
since ignorance,
whether
real or pretended, of the contract's existence does not vitiate
one's
liability, then restraining one's self to remain within the
contours
of such intellectual containment, in such a state of ignorance
is
self-damaging, and is to be discouraged.
And as for the Law of
Contracts,
whether known or unknown: "A
contract is an agreement in
which a
party undertakes to do, or not to do, a particular thing. The
law
binds him to perform his undertaking, and this is, of course, the
obligation
of the contract." - STURGES VS. CROWNINSHIELD, 17 U.S.
122, at
197 (1819).
=============================================================[129]
This
state of affairs of throwing criminal prosecutions against people
who do
not even know of the evidentiary existence of a contract the King
is
operating on, has been under consideration and review by the King's
Agents
in Washington. Staff members in the
Treasury Department have
been
analyzing the possible benefits and consequences to the King if,
in the
justification of the Income Tax, the IRS were to shift over to
a
correct presentation of the Law, in the context of proper and natural
morality
and ethics, based on a voluntary attachment of Equity
Jurisdiction,
and applicable only to a special class of people. At the
present
time, the IRS presentation of the Law, in explaining why an
Income
Tax is to be paid, continuously shifts attention over to the 16th
Amendment,
and kind of winds up by saying that:
"...well, we collect the tax from
every one because the 16th
Amendment
tells us we need to."
You may
be surprised to hear this somewhat pleasant note, but there is
internal
disagreement within the Treasury Department on the long term
wisdom
of such an erroneous presentation of the Law.
And both Armen
Condo
and Irwin Schiff are prime exemplary models to explain this
interesting
change in viewpoint now in intellectual gestation within the
senior
administrative rank and file of the King's own tax collectors.
In
Treasury staff meetings ever since the early 1970's, there has been
concern
expressed regarding the growing Tax Resistance Movement, so
called. [130]
[130]=============================================================
"A
growing
number of taxpayers are developing negative perceptions of the
Federal
Income Tax. For example, surveys
conducted by the ADVISORY
COMMISSION
ON INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS finds that Americans perceive
the
Federal Income Tax as the worst tax imposed on them and the least
fair. Further, tax evasion appears on the rise --
paralleling the
increase
in negative perception." - Steven Kaplan and Phillip
Reckers
in A STUDY OF TAX EVASION JUDGMENTS in 38 National Tax Journal
97, at
97 (March, 1985); citing in turn the research of Myers and
Shannon
in CHANGING PUBLIC ATTITUDES ON GOVERNMENT AND TAXES [Advisory
Commission

(1980-1983)].
=============================================================[130]
Senior
staff members have known about this Movement well in advance,
back to
the early 1950's, and it was very clear to them at that time in
the
1950's what we now are seeing all around us:
Open and growing
resistance
and defiance to the assertion of tax collection authority by
the
King. [131]
[131]=============================================================
Sharp
Congressmen
themselves knew of this impending state of defiance back in
the
1800's, before the original version of our present Income Tax was
created: "The imposition of the [income] tax
will corrupt the people.
It will
bring in its train the spy and the informer.
It will
necessitate
a swarm of officials with inquisitorial powers. It will be
a step
towards centralization... It breaks
another canon of taxation
in that
it is expensive in its collection [a condition since remedied
by the
clever use of administrative contracts to force people into a
taxable
status they would not otherwise be in]..." -
Representative
Robert Adams, speaking in opposition to the proposed
Income
Tax Act of 1894, on the floor of the House of Representatives,
January
26, 1894 [as quoted by Frank Chodorov in THE INCOME TAX, page
63
(Devin-Adair, 1954)]. [But as usual in Congress, cries and pleas for
the
continuance of the quiescent STATUS QUO of the 1800's fell on deaf
ears.]
=============================================================[131]
Back in
the 1950's, statisticians in the Treasury Department, in their
long
range (10, 20 and 30 year) revenue/budget projection plots, saw
that
the combination of both inflation and the percentage progressive
Income
Tax would, in just a few decades, be pushing just the average
worker
into highly aggressive tax levels of up to 50%. [132]
[132]=============================================================
Throughout
the years, numerous Hearings have been held and Bills
introduced
into the Congress proposing a FLAT RATE TAX, but they have
never
gotten anywhere. See such Senate
Hearing s in THE FLAT TAX RATE
["Hearings
Before the Committee on Finance of the United States
Senate"],
79th Congress, 2nd Session (September 28 and 19, 1982) [GPO,
Washington
(1983)]. Many of the persons presenting evidence in that
Hearing
expressed knowledge on the enscrewment orientation of
progressive
taxation, through their own words. When
such widely held
knowledge
jells into something tangible in the corridors of Congress is
largely
a function of overcoming the Gremlins who now control the
Congress.
=============================================================[132]
In the
1950's, those workers had then been paying just a small
percentage. [133]
[133]=============================================================
As
recently
as the early 1930's, a mere 5% was the maximum graduated
federal
income tax due, but in time Bolshevik Gremlins changed that, by
escalating
taxing percentage grabs to enscrewment levels more
satisfactory
to them. The schedule was, at that
time: 1-1/2% on
the
first $4,000
3% on the next $4,000
5% on the balance.
-
WALL STREET JOURNAL, February 8, 1929 ["Income Tax in a
Nutshell"],
page 4.
=============================================================[133]
It was
known at that time that there would be public concern of the
growth
from those low taxation rates in practical effect then, to the
substantially
higher tax rates expected in the future, and that this
public
concern would grow increasingly with each passing year. [134]
[134]=============================================================
This
idea
has also been a dominate and recurring theme in research and
literature
in this area of studying tax revolts.
See generally: -
Lee Sigelman and David Lowery in THE TAX
REVOLT: A COMPARATIVE
STATE
ANALYSIS, 36 Western Political Science Quarterly, at 30 (March,
1983);
This paper explains eight different possible explanations of tax
revolt
success in the 18 states where such revolts have surfaced as of
1983; -

LIMITS:
ALTERNATIVE CONSTITUTIONAL CONSTRAINTS ON THE POWER TO TAX, 32
National
Tax Journal, at 11 (1977); - James Buchanan in WHY DOES
GOVERNMENT

by
Thomas Borcherding [Duke University Press, Durham, North Carolina

DEMOCRACY, 59 Social Science Quarterly, at 691 (1979); -

Buchanan and Richard Wagner in DEMOCRACY IN DEFICIT: THE POLITICAL
LEGACY
OF LORD KEYNES [Academic Press, New York (1977)].
=============================================================[134]
And it
was expected that the thrust of the public concern that was out
in the
open, would be of the basic legitimacy of the Income Tax itself,
and
that such concern would have a strong current under it due to its
percentage
progressive nature that would accelerate into such noticeable
levels
when inflation was strong for several years in a row; so much so
that
even ordinarily blind, disinterested, naive and politically benign
people
would then perk up and take interest; and even businessmen would
start to
slough off, rather than give away their hard earned income
stream
to termites. With the annual increment
in Inflation, the
public's
questioning of the general illegitimacy of the Income Tax would
be
incremented with each passing year, as it was expected that the
public
would notice that although greater taxes are being paid, no
additional
benefits or commensurate services were being experienced or
being
returned by the King in one year to the next.
This illegitimacy
angle
was expected to be a "center of gravity" in the public's view,
since
the general public is unaware of the ethical and moral basis of
the
Excise Income Tax, and of an attachment of Equity Jurisdiction
involved
(in other words, the King can demand and get anything from 0%
to 100%
in Equity and be morally correct, because your participation
with
him in accepting his benefits in Commercial Equity is purely
voluntary,
and so any amount of gain you acquired in King's Commerce is
gain
that you would not otherwise have).
That attachment of King's
Equity
Jurisdiction always precedes the liability for the tax. And so
it has
been expected for some time that the United States would one day
experience
the most extreme and intolerable levels of income
confiscation
ever known to Americans: Without any
reciprocity by the
King,
without any apparent QUID PRO QUO [135]
[135]=============================================================
The
phrase
QUID PRO QUO means that there has been an exchange of "something
for
something." It has a Roman origin
to it, and is a term that appears
in old
medieval English Crown cases I have read, and now carries on down
to the
present time with Federal Judges. See
IN RE LUEDER'S ESTATE, 164
F.2nd
128, at 135 (1947).
=============================================================[135]
of
incremental increase in benefits to be experienced from one year to
the
next, and without any justification at all for the annual percentage
incrementation
in tax extraction. These projection
plots were not
deemed
to be of very high priority at that time back in the 1950's, but
the
results and findings were circulated among some administrative
personnel
and they eventually made it over to two Congressional
committees.
Under
the Treasury Department's projection models and plots, it was
predicted
that open defiance would come some day as such expected
aggressive
tax levels are simply not bearable by average folks,
previously
quiescent, who would then start to question the legitimacy
of the
tax itself. [136]
[136]=============================================================
And
other
top tax bureaucrats have repeated the warnings initially contained
in that
Treasury Department report of the 1950's.
At the close of the
Johnson
Administration in 1969, Secretary of the Treasury Joseph W. Barr
warned
of a growing resentment against higher taxes.
[See the Foreword
in THE
INCOME TAX: HOW PROGRESSIVE SHOULD IT BE? by The American
Enterprise
Institute, featuring cross discussions on the question of
progressivity
with Charles Galvin and Boris Bittker (AEI, Washington,
1969)].
=============================================================[136]
The
catalytic effect of such aggressive tax levels would be the
deprivation
of the ability of such average folks to provide minimum
necessities
for themselves, such as housing and food.
[137]
[137]=============================================================
This
is a
conclusion also reached by the Fund for Public Policy Research, in
a
report entitled TAX CHANGES AND THE COMPOSITION OF FIXED INVESTMENT:
AN
AGGREGATE SIMULATION by Aaron, Russek, and Singer. The study was
conducted
to inform the Joint Congressional Committee on Internal
Revenue
Taxation as to the impact of the Tax Reform Act of 1969 on
investments
in housing. [Washington, D.C.
(1969)]. Some of the data
used in
this report was obtained from the Federal Reserve Board, who
researches
its own macro-economic taxation models isochronously
(ISOCHRONOUS
means at regularly occurring intervals of time).
=============================================================[137]
One of
the questions that was hypothetically addressed in the
accompanying
report is the concern the Treasury had of the general
institutionalized
acceptance of "Tax Protesting" by the public. Like
the
widespread flaunting of the assertion of the King's law during
Prohibition,
a little resistance and a few flare-ups can be managed well
in the
early stages with some well publicized spankings, [138]
[138]=============================================================
"...there
is one way by which the Government could avoid almost all
resource
costs in enforcing the tax code:
Penalize only a few
taxpayers,
but with inordinately high fines or other punishments. Given
that
taxpayers are risk adverse, such a strategy has a minimal resource
cost
while serving as an effective deterrent to tax evasion." -
Jonathan Skinner and Joel Slemrod in
ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVES ON TAX
EVASION,
38 National Tax Journal 345, at 346 (September, 1985). Notice
why
this IN TERROREM method of collecting taxes would succeed: Because
the
Taxpayers are deemed to be milktoast RISK ADVERSE persons [meaning
that
unlike Patriots, Taxpayers would rather pay than put up a good
fight]. The authors then discuss and cite in turn
two books that
discuss
ways on how the Government can magnify the important image of
such
tax spankings administered to potential tax evaders in the public's
eye;
see: - Thomas McCaleb in TAX EVASION AND THE DIFFERENTIAL
TAXATION
OF LABOR AND CAPITAL INCOME, 31 Public Finance Magazine 287
(1976); -

TOWARDS
CRIME, appearing in "Economic Models of Criminal Behavior" by
Heineke,
Editor [North Holland Publishing, Amsterdam (1978)].
=============================================================[138]
but a
lot of resistance later on produces Jury Nullification, widespread
administrative
non-cooperation, secondary disrespect for the Law in
general,
a growing underground economy, as well as numerous other
technical
problems. In the present discussions
that are now going on
in
Washington, there is a minority viewpoint being developed that
suggests
the possibility that it might be worthwhile for the United
States
to consider exploring the feasibility of heading off the
impending
blossoming Resistance by preventative means, and one possible
way to
do that would be by having the IRS justify the tax along
ethically
specific and morally correct reasons, and on grounds
harmonious
with Natural Law, involving citing just the Commerce Clause,
equity
benefits and contracts (bank accounts, direct beneficial
interest,
adhesion, equity, employment, political, and state Juristic
Personalities),
and to emphasize that only special individuals in these
classes
who want these special juristic benefits have any liability at
all for
the King's Equity participation tax on incomes. Such an
officially
sanctioned justification would strip away the veil of
illegitimacy
that now permeates the Income Tax among many people, and
would
show to all the immoral position of Armen Condo and Irwin Schiff,
as
those two were caught defiling themselves by dishonoring contracts
they
had with the King. The consequences of
this reversal of IRS public
justification
would be manifold:
1.
First, it would discredit people like Irwin Schiff and Armen
Condo,
who have propagated legally defective tax related information
around
the countryside. Appearing on
television and selling large
numbers
of books, these people develop a cult following [if CULT is the
word]
and contribute to the institutionalization of public acceptance
of
defying the King, and their cult continues to grow even though the
information
they propagate is misleading and technically defective, and
will
collapse in front of a Federal Judge.
2.
Tax revenues would decrease a bit in the near term as some
people
shift their Status around to avoid being a Taxpayer; [139]
[139]=============================================================
An
adjustment
in status from Taxpayer to non-Taxpayer is a behavioral
modification
designed to experience relief from a taxation load; if
invisible
juristic taxation contracts remain in effect after the
transition
in status adjustment was believed to have been completed,
then
what could be the provident saving of resources then degenerates
into
TAX EVASION. Tax evaders have been
thoroughly studied, examined,
and
restudied over and over again [for the fabulous amount of money at
stake
in this Gremlin enrichment game, we really do not need
collaborating
documentation on what is merely COMMON SENSE, but termites
do]. For the behavioral aspects of tax evasion,
see: - M.W. Spicer
in A
BEHAVIORAL MODEL OF INCOME TAX EVASION [Doctorial Dissertation,
Ohio
State University (1974)]; - Michael Allingham and Agnew
Sandow
in INCOME TAX EVASION: A THEORETICAL ANALYSIS, 1 Journal of
Public
Economics 323 (1972) [discusses the utility maximizing behavior
of
Taxpayers who are subject to detection and penalties, as viewed this
way,
these twin researchers modelled the tax evader as persons who thus
DEMAND
the level of evasion given the PRICES for evasion as set by the
Government. In the context of constructing a supply and
demand model,
these
two authors concluded that the evading Taxpayer takes in factual
information
(like the structure, enforcement effect, and punishments
specified
in the tax code) as GIVEN criteria the Taxpayer cannot
control,
an then the Taxpayer makes an assessment as to the most
preferred
dollar level that the tax evasion is worth to him.] -

called
TCMP (Tax Compliance Measurement Program), to examine the
sensitivity
of tax compliance to the marginal tax rate (that mouthful
means
that Charles Clotfelter did some statistical work and determined
on his
own that the lower tax rate a Taxpayer is in, then the more
compliance
a Taxpayer would give back to the Government [which is only
common
sense]).]; - Nathan Boidman in A SUMMARY OF WHAT CAN BE

demographic
variables suggestive of tax evaders:
Age, Income by
Category,
Belief that tax evasion is morally wrong, belief that the
Federal
Income Tax is fair, and economic factors, Researcher A. Lewis
generates
a pretty accurate larger estimate of the percentage of non-
complying
Taxpayers who exhibit tax evasion behavior, by multiplying his
sample
data to the known entire national population that conforms to
each
variable classification [see A. Lewis in THE PSYCHOLOGY OF TAXATION
[Saint
Martin's Press, New York (1982)].
=============================================================[139]
3.
Tax revenues would increase a bit as the immoral and unethical
position
of Tax Protestors is frowned on, rather than cheered on by
courtroom
supporters; and the resentment against paying a high
percentage
tax would cease; [140]
[140]=============================================================
When
Tax
Protestors are parties to invisible juristic contracts, they are in
fact
tax evaders, because they do in fact owe the tax, regardless of
their
political philosophy justification sounding in the Tort of
unfairness
[even though many Protestors do not want to admit it]. In
Nature,
whenever contracts are in effect when a grievance is up for
settlement,
then the contract comes first, and Tort arguments of
unfairness
come second; and nothing will change at the Last Day. The
economic
perspective on tax evasion [meaning the effect of tax evasion
on tax
receipts] has been frequently commented upon.
For recent
technical
examples see: - Vidar Christianson in TWO COMMENTS ON TAX
EVASION,
13 Journal of Public Economics 389 (1980);
- Jonathan
Skinner
and Joel Slemrod in ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVES ON TAX EVASION, 38
National
Tax Journal 345 (September, 1985); discusses horizontal
fairness
[HORIZONTAL means analyzed among Taxpayers of equal income]
with
vertical fairness [VERTICAL means analyzed among Taxpayers of
different
income], in an on-going practice of tax evasion: "Public
Policy
towards tax evasion reflects complex and often competing goals
of
collecting taxes efficiently and treating Taxpayers equitably. Since
Adam
Smith, economists have been aware of the conflict between the
comprehensive
collection of Government revenue and the costly and unfair
or
"odious" method necessary to enforce these comprehensive collection
rules." -
Skinner and Slemrod, id., at 345
That reference to Adam Smith is:
"A major source of Government
revenue in Adam Smith's day was
duties,
which 'by subjecting at least the dealers in the taxed
commodities
to the frequent visits and odious examination of the tax
gatherers,
expose them sometimes, no doubt to some degree of oppression;
and
always to trouble and vexation; and although vexation... is not
strictly
speaking expense, it is certainly equivalent to the experience
at
which every man would be willing to redeem from it'." -
Adam
Smith
in II WEALTH OF NATIONS, at 430 [University of Chicago Press,
Chicago
(1976)]. As can been seen from the days of Adam Smith, tax
collection
is very much a continuing source of frictional confrontation
between
the Crown and the Countryside, and under such an inherently
tortional
factual setting, tax evasion will remain alive. Even though
there
is nothing immoral or improper about the use of implied invisible
contracts
by Juristic Institutions to raise revenue, tax evasion will
so
remain on the scene until such time as Juristic Institutions are
barred
from raising revenue under these implied contracts [as I will
discuss
later] (IMPLIED meaning invisible mass contracts that are not
individually
negotiated with each Person); so Juristic Institutions
would
then be required to rely on either express negotiated contracts
(meaning
contracts negotiated with every Person individually), or
restricting
the manipulative use of implied contracts to only those
factual
settings where special optional benefits are being offered. In
both
instances, you can forget about either of these contractual
restrainments
ever surfacing in Constitutions.
=============================================================[140]
4.
The underground economy, so called, would partially disappear,
as
black markets in any commodity can only exist to escape the forced
intervention
of Government that creates unnatural pricing.
[141]
[141]=============================================================
Concern
for the so called UNDERGROUND ECONOMY has been a recurring theme
within
the corridors of Government. By calling
it the UNDERGROUND
ECONOMY,
the King's Agents are trying to color an illicit and tainted
image
in such activities; but the King is in no position to do so.
[Later I will talk about the use of guns,
literally, by Treasury
agents
in the 1800's, to seal up a national monopoly on circulating
Currency;
in the old days, private mints and businesses freely issued
out
their own circulating coins and script, and so back then there was
a real
question as to whether or not common folks were involved with
what is
called INTERSTATE COMMERCE; but today everyone is automatically
"in"
this invisible INTERSTATE COMMERCE by the use and recirculation of
Federal
Reserve Notes, because the King once used his guns and bouncers
to
accomplish by hard physical duress what natural competitive economic
attraction
and good common sense could not bring about:
A tight
national
Government monopoly on circulating Currency instruments,
enforced
by penal statutes. Should we be
surprised that today, the
King's
Agents are now trying to twist things around enough so that those
same
common folks who simply do not want to use the King's money are now
colored
as being illicit participants in that vile, illegitimate
"Underground
Economy" -- but in fact the King should be the VERY LAST
ONE to
talk about what is illicit, vile, tainted, and unsavory[]. For
recent
recurring Government concerns echoed on that heinous and obscene
UNDERGROUND
ECONOMY, see: 1. The Congressional testimony of IRS
Commissioner
Jerome Kurtz, and two Treasury termites Richard Fogel and
Robert
Mason in Hearings entitled SUBTERRANEAN OR UNDERGROUND ECONOMY,
held by
the Subcommittee on Commerce, Consumers, and Monetary Affairs
of the
Committee on Governmental Operation; House of Representatives,
96th
Congress, First Session (September, 1979).
2. The Congressional
testimony
of Commissioner Roscoe Egger and termite David Glickman

Assistant Treasury Secretary for Tax Policy) in DISCLOSURE OF
IRS
INFORMATION TO ASSIST WITH THE ENFORCEMENT OF CRIMINAL LAW, Senate

Congress,

ECONOMY,
held by the Subcommittee on Oversight, Committee on Ways and
Means,
House of Representatives, 96th Congress, First Session, Serial
No.
96-70 (July, September, October, 1979). Various different
mathematical
models have been developed on the UNDERGROUND ECONOMY. One
method
developed initially in the United States involves the use of
making
inferences about the underground economy on the basis of changes
in
money holdings over a period of time; see:
- P.M. Guttman in
THE
SUBTERRANEAN ECONOMY, 33 Financial Analysts Journal 26
(November/December,
1979); - E.L. Feige in HOW BIG IS THE
IRREGULAR
ECONOMY?, 5 CHALLENGE 22 MAGAZINE, at page 5 (1979); -
B.S.
Frey and W.W. Pommerehne in an article entitled MEASURING THE
HIDDEN
ECONOMY: THOUGH THIS IS MADNESS, THERE IS METHOD IN IT, appears
in a
book called THE UNDERGROUND ECONOMY IN THE UNITED STATES AND
ABROAD,
edited by Vito Tanzi [Lexington Books, Toronto (1983)]. A
British
researcher developed an UNDERGROUND ECONOMY model using
differences
between estimates of reported income on tax returns and
other
estimates of income based on household and industrial surveys of
spending
as an indicator of the percentage slice of the economy going
underground
[see K. MacAfee in A GLIMPSE OF THE HIDDEN ECONOMY, 316
Economic
Trends Magazine, at 81 (February, 1980)]. Another researcher
based
in Italy used data from the relative level of public participation
in what
is called the OFFICIAL LABOR PARTICIPATION RATE to arrive at his
conclusions
as to the number and magnitude of which Italians are
declining
their Government's invitation to deprive themselves of daily
necessities
so their Government can engage in conquests [see B. Contini
in an
article entitled THE SECOND ECONOMY OF ITALY, in Vito Tanzi's
UNDERGROUND
ECONOMY, id. Here in the United Stats, one of the ways
Government
researchers probe for areas of "illicit" subterranean
activity
is to examine what each American spends per year for food and
other
retail purchases, and then figure up a national per person
average. Based on that information, a reasonable
figure can be
estimated
that each typical American would spend each year on, for
example,
food. Then checking each city in the
United States against
that
national average, they look for food stores that are selling food
to a
known population area at a rate far in excess of the national per
person
average -- then obviously there are more people in that city than
official
census tracts are reporting. One such
representative
metropolitan
area of a city swirling in such an illicit vortex of
unreported
income and officially nonexistent people, not surprisingly,
is Las
Vegas, Nevada.

A
British
researcher argues that the hard suppression of tax evasion by
the
Government is actually self-defeating, since such a
characteristically
GESTAPO suppression of evaders produces the secondary
effect
of reducing aggregate tax receipts by having discouraged economic
activity;
which if, in contrast, would have surpassed those taxes that
were
evaded [see B. Bracewell-Milnes in THE FISC AND THE FUGITIVE:
EXPLOITING
THE QUARRY appearing in "The State of Taxation," The
Institute
of Economic Affairs, London (1977)].
Many other parallels
exist
all throughout the very wide ranging field of interpersonal
relations
that suggest that the relaxed quiescent atmosphere generated
by nice
guys always yields the most fruit; but Bolshevik Gremlins
believe
that they are on an important mission and that terror is an
important
accessory instrument available to help them accomplish their
objectives,
and so nice guys are in their way, and Gremlins have no room
for
people that are in their way.

Near term revenues would increase as Taxpayers who now view
the tax
as either wrong, immoral, or illegitimate and then claim
excessive
deductions would be hesitant to do so when the moral position
is
shifted around and now it's their failure to pay their full share
that is
a serious act of self-defilement on their part. [144]
[144]=============================================================
But
the
realization will never be universal:
"The problem [of both tax avoidance
and evasion] is an ancient one.
The
natural desire of the Citizen to pay as small a tax as possible is
doubtless
as old as taxation. It would be
difficult, indeed, to devise
a
system of taxation under which it would not rear its head. In this
day of
manifold Governmental activities with the consequent need for
constant
and fixed revenues, it is of paramount importance that the
revenue
laws be so drawn and so administered that the taxes imposed do
not
depend for their collection upon the whim, caprice, or astuteness
of
Taxpayers and their counsels. An added
consideration is the
equitable
rights of Taxpayers themselves. It is
of abiding importance
to
Taxpayers as a class that each Taxpayer pay his proportion of the tax
burden,
that each Citizen share the cost of Government in accordance
with
his ability to pay. Hence, in combating
both evasion and
avoidance,
the Government is protecting itself and the equitable rights
of all
Taxpayers. The problem is one in which
small Taxpayers, in
particular,
have a very definite interest. John Doe
has a taxable net
income
of one thousand dollars. Generally,
John Doe pays his tax
thereon. If he tries to avoid he usually evades,
because he is unable
to
employ skilled advisors, and many of the methods by which he might
avoid
are not available to him. On the other
hand, Henry Doe has a
taxable
net income of three thousand dollars.
He has skilled
accountants
and advisors to reduce this net income and thereby minimize
his tax
liability. His business and investments
are, generally, of such
a
nature as to render available to him many tax saving schemes. Hence,
the
ability to pay frequently carries with it the ability to avoid.
After
all, tax avoidance cannot be had at the dollar book counter." -
Lucious Buck in INCOME TAX EVASION AND
AVOIDANCE: SOME GENERAL
CONSIDERATIONS,
26 Georgetown Law Review 863, at 863 (1937).

It is
the opinion of staff members that although this is an interesting
model
to consider, its revenue generating strength for the King lies in
the
correction of wholesale public perception of the King being wrong
and
working immoral acts on the countryside.
Since a majority of
Americans
still do not perceive of things being this way at the present
time,
this revenue enhancement and Tax Resistance termination model is
best
kept on the back shelf, for a while.
[145]
[145]=============================================================
At
the
present time, while a majority of Americans still do not perceive
of
things as being structurally wrong, however, there are many other
folks
who do possess inclinations of irritation:
"In an era of heavy
taxation,
many taxpayers, not merely "tax protestors," feel intense
irritation
at the federal tax authorities..."

=============================================================[145]
The
value in this story is the knowledge that the King's Tax Collectors
in
Washington are not the intellectually lethargic and dim-witted
bureaucrats
some people make them out to be. [146]
[146]=============================================================
Tax
bureaucrats
conduct extensive continuous statistical research on various
different
methodologies of conducting the best CRACKING that can be had
for the
tax collection dollar spent. Based on
technical information
derived
from sources within the IRS, researcher Ann Witte, et al.,
developed
an economic model of tax compliance by Americans. She came
to the
same conclusions that IRS statistical termites had already
arrived
at long ago: 1. That the decline in tax audit rates during
the
1970's may have accounted for a substantial portion of the decline
in
compliance during that period. 2. That increases in probability
of tax
audit and such things as information reporting and tax
withholding
are likely devices to increase tax code compliance [not very
difficult
to figure out, but bureaucrats need to have it all handed to
them]. 3.
That increases in moral ambivalence towards tax
compliance
will increase tax non-compliance [not very difficult to
figure
out]. The IRS divides Taxpayers into different strata of audit
classes
since it believes that compliance behavior differs significantly
on the
basis of level and type of income. Ann
Witte constructed a
statistical
analysis for homogeneity of coefficients across the seven
audit
classes that her sources in the IRS would admit existed; she used
LEAST
SQUARES and a generalization of the CHOW TEST as statistical tools
to come
to a conclusion. That yes, Taxpayers
situated within the seven
different
strata of audit classes developed by professional termites in
the IRS
do in fact exhibit an amazingly similar MODUS VIVENDI to other
Taxpayers
in the same class [MODUS VIVENDI means mode of living in the
sense
that it is a temporary arrangement pending settlement of some
grievance]. Yes, those termites are quite proficient
unknowing
Bolshevik
instrumentalities at their juristic tasks of eating out our
substance

ON TAX
COMPLIANCE; THE CASE OF THE UNITED STATES INDIVIDUAL INCOME TAX,

They

to see what they can get away with.
[147]
[147]=============================================================
The
assessments
and JUDGMENT CALLS that our King goes through in determining
how
much money should stay on the farm, what minimum amount is needed
by the
farmer for survival, and then how much should be turned over to
the
State for his own Royal purposes, is the same JUDGMENT CALL that
Gremlins
nestled in Juristic Institutions made world wide: "We were
back to
food requisitioning, only now it was called a tax. Then there
was
something called 'overfilling the quota.'
What did that mean? It
meant
that a Party secretary would go to a collective farm and determine
how
much grain the collective farmers would need for their own purposes
and how
much [grain] they had to turn over the State.
Often, not even
the
local Party committee would determine procurements; the State itself
would
set a quota for the whole district. As
a result, all too
frequently,
the peasants would have to turn everything over they
produced
-- literally everything! Naturally,
since they received no
compensation
whatsoever for their work, they lost interest in the
collective
farm and concentrated instead on their private plots to feed
their
families." - Nikita Khrushchev in his memoirs
KHRUSHCHEV
REMEMBERS:
THE LAST TESTAMENT, page 108 [Little Brown, Boston (1974);
translated
by Strobe Talbott]. The reason why Gremlins world wide are
continually
confronted with the same nagging taxation question over and
over
again, is because they are dealing with DIRECT taxes operating
largely
on Citizenship Contracts, and so there is inherently always
going
to be tension, friction, and confrontations, as DIRECT TAXES by
their
nature require strict administrative compliance, which is
fundamentally
out of harmony with the HAPPY GO LUCKY nonchalant
ambivalence
many folks manifest. And there will
also be correlative
factual
assessments being made by Government as to just what the
permissible
levels of tolerable enscrewment are, that can be sustained
by the
peasantry before EN MASSE rejection gets out of hand. By the
nature
of DIRECT taxes, for the reciprocal compensation demanded, there
never
is any relationship to juristic benefits offered, nor any
relationship
between income extracted from people and Governmental needs
-- and
so what we are left with is just an extraction formula designed
to
maximize Crown enrichment.
=============================================================[147]
They
are brilliant and they know exactly what they are doing at all
times. [148]
[148]=============================================================
And
they
also know exactly what they are doing when the go around the
countryside
looking for some Tax Protesting giblets to crack:
"SENATOR
SMOOTHERS: I have been concerned, Mr.
Alexander, [Director of
the IRS
in the mid 1970's], and the committee has received information
regarding
how the IRS deals with its enemies, if you will, particularly
the tax
protestor groups. We have information
indicating that there has
been an
effort made to infiltrate these groups, if you will, primarily
based
on their anti-IRS activities, including such things as [their]
efforts
at physical destruction [in] your [IRS offices and the filing
of
reams of blank returns. Is it your view
that IRS investigators
should
be used in this capacity, or is this a matter better handled by
other
investigative agencies, like the FBI?
"MR. ALEXANDER: Mr.
Smoothers,
there have been instances where the use of the techniques
that
you described would be necessary. Those
instances are few indeed.
I think
that the IRS has a responsibility to see to it that those who
attempt
to defeat tax administration and tax enforcement do not succeed.
And,
accordingly, as to tax resisters, we have an interest, and shall,
I
think, maintain an interest in making their efforts fail. But we also
have a
duty in the fulfillment of this limited goal to live up to
constitutional
principles and the law, because we cannot enforce the law
properly
by violating the law [a lie, but a CRACKER is not about to tell
the
Congress anything else]. ...Tax
protestors are indirectly related
to tax
administration, in that those who preach resistance to tax laws
are
likely to practice resistance as well."
- HEARINGS TO STUDY
GOVERNMENTAL
OPERATIONS WITH RESPECT TO INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION, 94th
Congress,
First Session, Volume 3 ["Internal Revenue Service"], page 7;
United
States Senate (October 2, 1975). A Gremlin once had a few words
to say
about EXECUTIVE POWER, such as that power wielded by Presidents
and his
administrative assistants:
"Executive power combines
policy-making
with the direction of policy execution.
It is this
combination
that endows the executive organ in the governmental
structure
with its crucial functional importance and vests it, or rather
the
persons who symbolize or control it, with the mystique normally
surrounding
a head of State or a monarch. In the
minds of the people,
a
president, a king, or even a premier... plays the role of leader, much
in the
tradition of the family head, the village elder, or the tribal
chief. "Through the ages, society has
depended on the chief
executives
for a sense of direction, and they have stood at the apex of
the
social and political hierarchy whenever necessity has forced men to
band
together. Executive power may, in fact,
be the oldest and the most
necessary
social institution in the world. It has
taken many forms, has
been
established through diverse channels ranging from birth to
purposely
perpetrated death, and has been invested with different ranges
of
authority at various places and times and in response to varying
requirements... "The [bureaucratic] executive... is
relatively
unhindered
in the exercise of [this] power...
Formal restraints, such
as legal
injunctions, are also either absent or circumvented, while
informal
restraints [such as the press] are somewhat more elastic in the
assertion
of their claims against the executive." - Zbigniew
Brzezinski
in IDEOLOGY AND POWER IN SOVIET POLITICS, at 13 [Fredrick
Praeger
Publisher, New York (1962)]. Gremlins know that folks will go
right
ahead and improvidently place an aura of mystique about the
nominees
they sponsor into visible executive positions in Juristic
Institutions,
such as Presidents and Members of his Cabinet -- while the
real
action [the level where the bureaucracy is interfacing with the
public,
the level where damages are being created), is taking place at
a lower
level -- an invisible bureaucratic level.
And Gremlins are also
cognizant
of the fact that formal legal restraints, such as those
residing
in the Constitution, are in fact circumvented, as Mr. Alexander
admitted;
and third parties the public seems to trust, like the Press,
are
noted for their acquiescence of mischief through their silence.
Always
remember that Gremlins merely take advantage of what is handed
to
them, and will back off when the knife encounters a bone instead of
more
flesh; this is a Principle pronounced over and over again in
ecclesiastical
settings, as Lucifer is identified as a clever adversary
specializing
in taking prime advantages of weaknesses.
Patriots
assigning
a degree of trust in the Constitutional compliance
inclinations
of lower strata bureaucratic underlings, by virtue of the
stature
possessed by a President sponsored by Gremlins, are in error;
as
Gremlin Brzezinski pointed out, when the house is under Gremlin
management,
such as the United States is today, the policy maker is
largely
aloof from the administrative termite.
=============================================================[148]
So too,
the IRS knows exactly what it is doing, just like the King. And
its
present policy of justifying the tax based on a phony hybrid
composite
blend of top-down universal Civil Law and 16th Amendment
grounds
is in place for just one reason:
Because at the present time
it is
to the King's financial advantage to do so, due to baneful public
IGNORANTIA
JURIS. (But remember the King
propagates this erroneous
justification
because of the institutionalized political banality of
most
Americans. Reverse the banality and the
King will very likely
reverse
himself). I have a hunch that the
King's reversal will be
virtually
automatic when the time is right. He
closely monitors public
opinion,
and he is careful in his public pronouncements. [149]
[149]=============================================================
It
is my
hunch that a contributing inducement element to the King's
deceptive
deflection of the justification for the Income Tax, away from
our
Father's Common Law on Contracts and towards the phony 16th
Amendment,
is likely to also indicate the presence of a morbid
intellectual
disorder within the King's Senior Tax Collectors in
Washington: A disorder of deception. Consider the composite
conclusions
that the psychological fantasy lie, of which Senior Tax
Collectors
manifest with the deception, is a sign of intellectual
morbidity
when strongly developed, and additionally, is a symptom of
severe
pathology [see Helene Deustch and Paul Roazen, ON THE
PATHOLOGICAL
LIE, in the Journal of the American Academy of
Psychoanalysis,
July, 1982, pages 369 to 386]. Another
article which
explores
the clinical need for the operant reconditioning of lie
therapies
to correct structural deception disorders in the MODUS
OPERANDI
of people is by Robert Langs, [writing in the INTERNATIONAL
JOURNAL
OF PSYCHOANALYTIC PSYCHOTHERAPY, at pages 3 to 341 (1980-1981)],
where
he discusses psychotherapeutic treatment modalities on the
treatment
of deception disorders, especially psychoanalysis and
psychoanalytically
oriented psychotherapy. Boy, that
sounds like just
the
right medicine for the King's Senior Tax Collectors.
=============================================================[149]
So all
factors considered, it is unlikely that the King would not switch
public
tax justification positions where it is to his own self-
enrichment
financial advantage to do so. [150]
[150]=============================================================
American
Jurisprudence, like Nature and society, is stratified into
different
statuses. And people and objects
situated within those
different
strata (statuses) have different rights, motivations, and
objectives. I am not convinced that there are not other
secondary
elements
coming into focus when coming to grips with this psychological
analysis
of the King's Tax Collectors and their deception regarding the
legal
validity and general tax relevancy of the 16th Amendment. For an
interesting
discussion on the intricacies of deviant behavior manifested
in
people by virtue of the elevated status they hold, see SOCIAL
STRATIFICATION
AND DEVIANT BEHAVIOR by John Hewitt [published by Random
House
(1970)]. Mr. Hewitt talks about the
empirical connections between
deviancy
in MODUS OPERANDI and self-perceived elevated status, when he
discusses
the "Analytical Models of Social Stratification and Deviant
Behavior."
=============================================================[150]
Just as
there is deception and lies in the conveyance justification
being
offered to Americans for an unreasonably sized chunk of their
wealth,
month in and month out, year in and year out without any let up
in
sight, so too was the Income Tax justified on fraudulent terms by
Congressmen
who, just like the King's Senior Tax Collectors today, had
a pure
and perfect picture of their MAGNUM Torts of deception and lies.
Yes, if
you were to believe Congressmen trying to push the 1913 INCOME
TAX ACT
through Congress, the world was simply crying out, insisting,
and
even strongly demanding that they be taxed, fleeced, and thoroughly
looted. [151]
[151]=============================================================
"During
recent years there has been a general agitation and demand in
almost
every state in the union and in almost every country in the world
for
intelligent, fair, and practical reforms and readjustments of their
tax
systems to the end that every citizen may be required to contribute
to the
wants of the Government in proportion to the revenue he enjoys
under
its protection. To this end the
doctrine of equality of sacrifice
or
ability to pay is being universally invoked." - Representative
George
Hull, on the floor of the House of Representatives in 1913; as
quoted
by Thomas Lyons in INCOME TAXES ["Modern American Law Lecture"],
page 14
(The Blackstone Institute, Chicago, 1920).
=============================================================[151]
But if
that statement from George Hull is not enough to turn your
stomach,
then perhaps some other previous statements, emanating from the
floor
of the Congress in support of the WILSON TARIFF ACT OF 1894 [which
contained
an Income Tax rider (the Income Tax bill would not pass the
Congress
by itself)], which present a flowery wonderland promised to us
all, if
only we were just taxed more heavily, just damaged more
intensely,
and deprived of just more wealth through one more turn of the
screws,
is just strong enough to make someone choke.
[152]
[152]=============================================================
Speaking
of the Income Tax provision of the WILSON TARIFF BILL, a
Congressman
once had a few flowery words to say:
"The passage of the
[Wilson]
bill will mark the dawn of a brighter day, with more sunshine,
more of
the songs of birds, more of that sweetest music, the laughter
of
children, well fed, well clothed, well housed.
Can we doubt that in
the
bright, happier days to come, good, even-handed Democracy shall be
triumphant? God hasten the era of equality in taxation
and in
opportunity. And God prosper the Wilson bill, first leaf
in the book
of
reform in taxation, the promise of a brightening future for those
whose
genius and labor create the wealth of the land, and whose courage
and
patriotism are the only sure bulwark and defense of the Republic."
-
Representative David DeArmond, of Missouri (1894); [as quoted
by
Frank Chodorov in THE INCOME TAX, page 41 (Devin-Adair, New York
1954)].
Always remember that David DeArmond was sent to Washington from
country
folks in Missouri -- ordinary Citizens just like us all, so to
a large
extent, he merely replicated the indifferent will of his
Constituents
who actually admired a man of his pathetic calibre; so
before
snickering at the clever Rothschilds, we need to realize that we
did
this to ourselves. Although it is
popular to snicker at
Congressmen,
Congressmen reflect somewhat fairly the judgment calibre
of
their Constituents, and so now the correct remedy lies not by
slothing
off responsibility by pointing to someone else and blaming
them,
and not by the selective political criticism of the world's
Gremlins
(exemplary of Birchers and LaRouchies), but rather by a
national
internal self-examination that originates, like everything
else,
individually: "When
politicians discover that the people will
turn
out in mass to the primaries, their hope of controlling delegates
in
their own interest will disappear; and whenever political conventions
discover
that the people will carefully discriminate in the selection
of
officers, choosing only those who live within the Law and who are
pledged
to support it -- those whose lives and characters are above
reproach
-- then will political parties fear to put up for election men
who are
unworthy. If the people will only
exercise their privileges as
American
Citizens, they will find in their own hands the power to
correct
our present evils." - Melvin J. Ballard in IMPROVEMENT ERA
["The
Political Responsibility of Latter-day Saints"], at 464 [Desert
Book,
Salt Lake City (1954)].
=============================================================[152]
The
King's policy of keeping the ratio between the Income Tax bracket
and the
percentage tax demanded where it is, is because it lies just
below
the threshold toleration level, although not precisely so. The
King's
Agents are constantly surveying us folks out here in the
countryside
to see how many of us are in what tax bracket, so the King
can
reassess how much more tax confiscation can be extracted from us
without
an unmanageable revolt. [153]
[153]=============================================================
A
Gremlin
once made a Statement that is a good representation as to how
Gremlins
think in taxation areas: "The
problem of the Government is to
fix
rates which will bring in a maximum amount of revenue to the
Treasury
and at the same time bear not too heavily on the taxpayer or
on
business enterprises. A sound tax
policy must take into
consideration
three factors. It must produce
sufficient revenue for the
Government;
it must lessen, so far as possible, the burden of taxation
on
those least able to bear it; and it must also remove those influences
which
might retard the continued steady development of business and
industry
on which, in the last analysis, so much of our prosperity
depends." -
Gremlin Andrew Mellon in TAXATION: THE PEOPLE'S
BUSINESS,
at 9 [MacMillian Company, New York (1924)]. Notice what is
important
to Gremlins: Maximum revenue generation
for the Government;
and
maximum taxation from the public that can be tolerated, individually
and
commercially. Gremlins do not concern
themselves with such pesky
little
nuisance questions as to whether the Government really has any
good
cause to spend the money on in the first place; Gremlins do not
concern
themselves with the correlative damages experienced by folks as
important
resources are preemptively grabbed from them resulting in a
deprivation
of minimal material needs to support a family.
Gremlins do
not
want you and I to have prosperity, they want the Government to have
the
prosperity, so that once Government has got the money, then they can
spend
it.
=============================================================[153]
It is
the possible likelihood that this threshold toleration level would
be
overpassed and broken that concerns certain senior bureaucrats in
Washington,
who are wise to the practical secondary consequences such
a
passing of the threshold limit would create.
The meaning of this
concern
is perhaps best understood by the 1979 analogy of the oil
pricing
decisions made by Saudi Arabia's Oil Minister, Sheik Admed
Yamani. The Sheik's adamant refusal to raise Saudi
crude oil prices
above
the $40 per barrel limit in the face of such rare and unusually
strong
world wide petroleum demand puzzled many observers. [154]
[154]=============================================================
Saudi
Arabia
accomplished its objective of restraining other oil producers by
increasing
their oil production to maximum capacity, while refusing to
raise
its own price. See numerous articles in
the WALL STREET JOURNAL
discussing
the Saudi Arabian crude oil pricing freeze while maximizing
their
own oil production to physical limits:
- July 3, 1979
["Saudi
Arabia Is Said To Plan An Increase In Its Oil Production"], page
3; -
July 10, 1979 ["President Confirms Saudi Move To Boost Oil
Output
Sharply"], page 2 ("...Saudi production should have a moderating
influence
on world oil prices...", id., at page 2); - September

1979 ["Saudis Allowing Higher Oil Level To Remain In '79"], page 3;
-

Editorial],

If
Output In Iran Collapsed"], page 2 (Saudi at maximum oil capacity);

Almost 11 Million Barrels a Day"], page 3; - October 27, 1980
["How
Energy Boss Met Secretly With Yamani On Untimely Oil Deal"], page
1
(Saudi oil output raised, id., at page 23).
=============================================================[154]
From
the viewpoint of some folks, the Sheik was passing up on a golden
opportunity
to cream in some extra bucks while the oil boom lasted
across
those several months. To other
observers of the passing scene,
the
Sheik was a friend of the United States, and was just a good, kind,
caring,
public welfare oriented person who simply had the world's best
interests
in his heart as he refused to raise prices any higher. But
the
real reason why Sheik Yamani was trying to keep the oil prices
artificially
low is the same reason why the Congress has fixed the
Income
Bracket/Percentage Tax ratios for the Income Tax at their present
levels: Because raising oil prices to levels above a
threshold
toleration
level then equal to higher priced alcohol would cause the
universal
shift to alcohol and other non-crude oil based substitutes,
and so
oil would then not be purchased at all in the future; just like
more
aggressive Income Tax levels would cause folks to simply abandon
taxes
altogether, thus leaving the King with nothing from these folks
(as I
mentioned that some Tax Collectors have been concerned about since
the
1950's). And that is the great art of
pricing in business: Keeping
prices
competitively high, but just below the threshold level of
rejection. [155]

in
order to maintain high prices and prevent cartel members from having
an
incentive to leave the cartel. Under
this model assumption, cartels
composed
of multiple types of firms can prosper and enhance revenue with
greater
efficiency than firms can individually outside of the cartel.
Once

1974-1983 in 40 Journal of Finance, at 991 (July, 1985).
Discusses
oil pricing over the last ten years, and addresses the
hypothetical
question as to whether or not the collusive policies of
OPEC
really had that much of an effect on oil prices. Very scholarly,
with
daily spot oil prices from 1973 to 1983, equations, tables and
other
instruments for intellectuals to exercise with. 5. Frank Bass
and Ram
Rao in COMPETITION, STRATEGY, AND PRICE DYNAMICS; A THEORETICAL
AND
EMPIRICAL INVESTIGATION, 22 Journal of Marketing Research, at 283
(August,
1985). Discusses the pricing impacts of
new competition on
industries
dominated not by cartels, but by oligopolies.
The authors
develop
a model reflecting some sensitivity resulting from demand
diffusion,
saturation, and cost reductions through growth in market
share and
accumulated experience. Price and
market share dynamics are
examined
for the presence of a possibly competitive oligopoly; the
authors
analyze the pricing geometries of semiconductor manufacturing
companies
and conclude that the growth rate of the demand pricing
elasticity
in integrated circuits and correlated semiconductor products
contributes
significantly to pricing geometries (called PATHS by the
authors)
across different products. With graphs
and equations, this is
an
intellectual's delight. 6. K. Sridhar Moorthy in USING GAME
THEORY
TO MODEL COMPETITION, 22 Journal of Marketing Research, at 262
(August,
1985). The author presents the idea
that competition springs
from
interdependence in effect between competitors, such that actions
taken
by one firm will have impact and create both opportunities and
impediments
on its competitors. The author creates
a GAME THEORY,
whereby
decision makers can model prospective reactions by competitors
on what
it does. Applications are made into: (a) Product
and
price competition;
(b) Price wars;
(c) The product quality/price relationship
(d) Competitive bidding competition.

Jehoshua Eliasberg in ANALYTICAL MODELS OF COMPETITION WITH
IMPLICATIONS
FOR MARKETING: ISSUES, FINDINGS, AND OUTLOOK, 22 Journal
of
Marketing Research, at 237 (August, 1985).
The author uses
oligopolies
to discuss how marketing managers are increasingly realizing
the
need to analyze competition in formulating strategic marketing
plans. New market entrants and product
line/distribution decisions are
discussed
in this fellow's pricing models.
8. Robert T. Mason and
David
Easley in PREYING FOR TIME, 33 Journal of Industrial Economics,
at 445
(June, 1985). In an interesting
article, the authors discuss the
use of
predatory pricing models as a common everyday tool of business
conquest. The authors state that contrary to common
view, such
predatory
practices do not necessarily require the elimination of new
competitors
[something that John Rockefeller would have accomplished
back in
the 1800's out of the barrel of a gun and with the assistance
of some
dynamite]; but that other business behavior often largely
accomplishes
the same thing. With charts and
equations. 9. P.A.
Geroski
et al in OLIGOPOLY, COMPETITION AND WELFARE: SOME RECENT
DEVELOPMENTS,
33 Journal of Industrial Economics, at page 369 (June,
1985);
journal originates out of the United Kingdom.
The authors review
recent
literature on oligopolies; they err slightly when trying to
define
just what creates monopolies, but are correct when they take the
obvious
position that some monopolies have a protracted life about them
over
long periods of time. 10. Daniel Seligman in OPEC DISCOVERS THE
PERILS
OF PRICE FIXING, 112 Fortune Magazine, at 51 (July 22, 1985).
The
author views OPEC as collapsing in ways predicted by classical
theorems
of the cartel theory of economics, for many different reasons.
Factually
defective in some aspects, but it is interesting light
reading. 11.
John Picinich in WHY OPEC IS STILL THE KEY TO LONG TERM
OIL
PRICES, 14 Futures; The Magazine of Commodities & Options, at 52
(May,
1985). This author argues that OPEC is
not on the threshold of
collapse,
and that with time and huge oil reserves on its side, OPEC
will
likely dominate oil markets again within a decade. Presents a good
summary
history of OPEC pricing in general, and of the reduction in
crude
oil demand that gained momentum in 1983; here in 1985 OPEC is
alive
but has lost the standing ability to call the shots like they used
to. 12.
William H. Miller in NO DEATHWATCH FOR OPEC, 225 Industry
Week,
at 40 (May 27, 1985). Openly discusses
the view of others that
OPEC will
collapse, and then offers his own views that OPEC is likely
to get
stronger in the future, due to a combination of listed reasons.
He
cites the opinions of oil analysts that United States oil production
will
fall synchronous with a rise in demand, and the result will be that
OPEC
will hold the upper hand once again. Those 12 articles are a
representative
profiling sample of the multiplicity of recently
appearing
divergent views floating around on just one subject matter
(business
cartels and their functional similitudes, and pricing), that
are the
opinions of INTELLECTUALS -- as they go about their work
reading,
contemplating, writing their own opinions, putting in an honest
day's
work generating new theorems like they do.
Sometimes they are
correct,
sometimes they are in error, but the one denominator threading
its way
through all 12 articles was an omission of some additional
factual
information here and there -- the effect of which would have
been to
both support and to countermand and negate the theorems
presented. And as we change settings over to where the
imps in the
major
media make their statements on television and in newspapers, they
too are
in error as frequently as INTELLECTUALS are, as a composite
blend
of lack of factual knowledge commingled with recurring overtones
of
philosophical bias and Gremlin sponsored malice.
=============================================================[155]
No
relationship to cost, no relationship to benefits received, no
relationship
to hard intrinsic value. Just pricing
based on Enscrewment
(a
similar conclusion reached by others just cited in the footnote, but
they
use their own proprietary language that removes identification of
the
moral orientation (for good or evil) in the actors. As for pricing
within
the interior of shared monopoly cartels -- this is why
sophisticated
pricing strategists know that charging the highest
momentary
price the market will support is not necessarily the best
thing
to do for yourself: You may win that
battle under unusual
circumstances,
but loose the long term war for several different
secondary
reasons. And our King, with his
monopoly, is no different in
either
motivation or strategy. And that
concern about likely rejection
by
ex-Taxpayers is also the same reason why sophisticated attorneys who
work
for the King know that it is often best to drop a prosecution, SANS
GENE,
in a low level Administrative or Trial setting, rather than raise
the
presentation threshold level of the grievance to senior judicial
appellate
forums and risk an adverse appellate opinion on appeal that
might
benefit others, even if unreported.
[156]
[156]=============================================================
The
decision
on whether or not to continue a prosecution at the appellate
level
is the same exercise of discretion that prosecutors exercise when
the
criminal defendant is initially charged with his crimes: "The
discretionary
power... in determining whether a prosecution shall be
commenced
or maintained [on Appeal] may well depend upon matters of
policy
wholly apart from any question of PROBABLE CAUSE." -
UNITED
STATES
VS. COX, 342 F.2nd 167, at 171 (1965).
Private
commentators as well have written on the discretion given to
prosecuting
attorneys on the decision when to drop a case in whole or
in
part, although they do not have the judgment to see what a marvelous
administrative
toll PROSECUTOR'S DISCRETION is to keep potentially
irritating
cases out of appellate forums, where even unreported Opinions
might
spell trouble for the King in the future:
"Many persons who are
in fact
guilty of a crime and who could be convicted are either not
charged
at all, are charged with a less serious offense or a smaller
number
of offenses than the evidence would support, or are subjected to
informal
control processes which do not require formal accusation.
Although
some decisions not to charge or not to charge fully for reasons
unconnected
with probability of guilt are made by the police, the
primary
concern here is with those [decisions that are] made by the
prosecutor. With rare exceptions, legislatures and
appellate judges
officially
approve of this allocation of power to prosecutors, but the
precise
issue is infrequently confronted in appellate litigation and is
only
occasionally dealt with specifically in statutes." -

Miller

Discretion"],

Like
the Sub-Threshold Pricing Enscrewment Model in Commerce, there is
also a
Sub-Threshold Prosecution Enscrewment Model in effect in the
corridors
of Government as well, as the Judiciary is used latently by
prosecutors
in ways to help enrich the King. [157]
[157]=============================================================
Even
something
as seemingly removed from the fine art of sequestering common
public
knowledge of taxation by contract away from people, a field of
law
enforcement seemingly aloof from the high stakes game of tax
collection
-- Federal Anti-Trust Enforcement -- is actually swirling in
the
same vortex of manipulative selective prosecution by use of strategy
sessions
held by United States Deputy Attorneys General in Washington,
as they
go about their work trying to make sure that only those cases
conforming
to a certain profile of criteria within their classification
are
eventually sent to the Judiciary for CRACKING, and one of those
criteria
is trying to identify, before prosecution is initiated, which
cases
the Government is likely to prevail on during appeal (see Suzanne
Weaver
in DECISION TO PROSECUTE: ORGANIZATION AND PUBLIC POLICY IN THE
ANTI-TRUST
DIVISION, [MIT Press, Cambridge (1978); 2nd Edition]). So
never
assume what the Law is by the mere silence of Judges, as a clever
King
has selectively withheld cases potentially adverse to his position.
=============================================================[157]
[Incidentally,
the Rothschilds and their ideological mentor, Karl Marx,
have
planned this impending state of affairs since the Paris Communes
of the
1800's, but their SUB ROSA political involvement and quiet
intellectual
sponsorship required our national consent through acts of
own
American legislatures, which they got.
(So we really did this to
ourselves). And so I am only interested in now
addressing things as
presently
fabricated under American Law; and since the King is now
collecting
Income Taxes exclusively by contract [numerous layers of
invisible
contracts difficult to see], only the content of the contract
is
relevant to discuss, when a grievance under the contract later comes
up for
judicial review and enforcement. And so
questions, sounding in
the
Tort of unfairness, as to just who ultimately sponsored this grand
scenario
become largely irrelevant, when contracts are in effect. The
facts
are that the Income Tax has been around in the United States for
a long
time. The American colonists had such a
tax imposed on them,
[158]
[158]=============================================================
"[Income
Taxes] were imposed by several of the states at or shortly
after
the adoption of the Federal Constitution, New York Laws 1778,
chap.
17; Report of Oliver Wolcott, Jr., Secretary of the Treasury, to
the 4th
Congress, 2nd Session (1796), concerning direct taxes; AMERICAN
STATE
PAPERS, 1 Finance 423, 427, 429, 437, 439." - SHAFFER VS.
CARTER,
252 U.S. 37, at 51 (1919).
=============================================================[158]
and
there was also one imposed during the Civil War under Abraham
Lincoln. [159]
[159]=============================================================
Acts
of
August 5, 1861 (Chapter 45, Section 49, 12 UNITED STATES STATUTES AT
LARGE
292, 309) -- confined the Income Tax then to PERSONS residing
within
the United States (meaning PERSONS accepting the benefits of the
protection
of the United States) and United States Citizens residing
abroad
(meaning PERSONS operating under the invisible Citizenship
Contract). Yes, well before the 14th or 16th
Amendments, before Gremlin
EXTRAORDINAIRE
Karl Marx made his appearance on the scene, Income Taxes
were
both laid on and successfully collected from, American Citizens.
I will
discuss both the 14th and 16th Amendments later on, but you
should
be aware that numerous people are arguing that you are not liable
for the
present Income Tax of Title 26, based on infirmities and
defenses
centered around the 14th or 16th Amendments; the information
being
disseminated by these people is both erroneous at Law and
factually
defective (defective by omission).
=============================================================[159]
But the
distinction between those prior belief and transient AD HOC
taxing
occurrences and the present permanent Income Tax is that our
contemporary
Income Tax has an underlying political objective as its
primary
goal: It was originally designed and is
now intended to
forcibly
screw, harm and damage people, first, and then to raise revenue
as a
wealth transfer instrument, second.
[160]
[160]=============================================================
I
once
had a conversation with a Bolshevik Gremlin who works for the
Brookings
Institution in Washington. There was an
aura permeating the
atmosphere
around him that was different, as if there was a demon chill
in the
air. Sensing this introduction to Hell,
I almost felt as if I
was in
Tubingen University in Germany, swirling in the midst of the
ghostly
political tempest of devilish intrigue that has been going on
there
since the days of Fredrich Schiller and George Hegel
institutionalized
the kinky intellectual which that University
generates,
and which ideological flotsam and doctrinal mischief
continues
on without abatement down to the present day with Hans Kung
and the
Green Party. But when this conversation
drifted over towards
the
Income Tax, all of a sudden he sparkled up a bit, and with a
devilishly
sneaky cackle and a crooked grin that stretched fully from
one ear
over to the other, this little Bolshevik Gremlin then
immediately
blurted out his high approval of the Income Tax by saying
that
"...Oh, we don't want to enrich them too quickly." He seemed
excessively
concerned, even fixated, on their objective that the
countryside
be allowed only minimum subsistence income levels. I really
got the
message from him, loud and clear, that they deem our deprivation
of
wealth to be of maximum importance to them and their damages
enscrewment
objectives.
=============================================================[160]
Creating
damages through such devices as a national Tax on Incomes, as
a tool
for conquest, is very important to international Bolsheviks,
particularly
since they thrive in an atmosphere where the true seminal
point
of beginning of national destruction is obscure and difficult to
see;
and very few folks see the Income Tax as the great tool of
destruction
that it is. [161]
[161]=============================================================
For
a
highly detailed, thorough, and technical discussion on the damaging
relationship
in effect between Income Taxation and economic growth, see
Vito
Tanzi in THE INDIVIDUAL INCOME TAX AND ECONOMIC GROWTH: AN
INTERNATIONAL
COMPARISON [John Hopkins Press (1969); revised and redated
in
1980]. There is also a damages
relationship in effect between
inflation
and the Income Tax -- see Vito Tanzi in his book entitled
INFLATION
AND PERSONAL INCOME TAX: AN INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVE, written
for the
International Monetary Fund [Cambridge University Press (1981)].
Yes,
progressive taxation on net profits is the very element itself that
causes
civilizations to fall -- a fact that Gremlins do not want us to
take
cognizance of, or otherwise give much thought to. ...When acquiring
new
information (or enlarging the factual basis one has to exercise
judgment
on), one sometimes looks back and realizes that the behavior
once
deemed acceptable in another era is now unacceptable; so too will
Tax
Protestors take upon themselves knowledge of invisible juristic
contracts
and then when looking back realize the possibility, however
remote,
that the actual tax protestings once exhibited in another era
may
have been technically improvident for any one of several reasons
unknown
at an earlier time. This practice of
acquiring more knowledge,
and
then discarding some outmoded behavior of a previous era, is a
recognized
sign of organic intellectual enlightenment by the Judiciary.
In
1970, the Alaska Supreme Court once ruled that regardless of past
thinking
and past expectations surrounding criminal proceedings, things
were
now going to different: "We reach
a point when the crudities of
an
earlier age must be abandoned."
- BAKER VS. CITY OF
FAIRBANKS,
471 P.2nd 386, at 403 (1970). And that therefore, TRIAL BY
JURY is
now required in all Alaskan State criminal prosecutions
[overruling
the previous common practice of making Trial by Jury
requisite
only when the prospective duration of incarceration exceeded
six
months.] Just as Judges publicly
express regrets over their
previous
judgment -- exercised in an era when they thought they were
doing
the right thing by coming down hard on criminals clear across the
board,
so too should Tax Protestors take qualified cognizance of the
possibility
that latent error might also be present in their judgments
as
well.

For
a
discussion of decline in Holland from 1583 to 1674, for reasons
relating
to the enactment of an income tax, as a war measure, to finance
a war
against Spain and then continued after the war, on justification
grounds
to suppress domestic Dutch insurrections, see LA RICHESSE DE LA
HOLLANDE,
by Monsieur A. de Serionne, published in London in 1778 [cited
by Sir
Inglis Palgrave, in a speech at the Inaugural Meeting of the
Institute

And
here in the United States, the State of New York, under the evil
genius
of Nelson Rockefeller, enacted the highest corporate and personal
income
taxes in effect, of any state, during the 1960's and 1970's,
driving
a large number of businesses and literally millions of people,
to
emigrate from New York. [163]
[163]=============================================================
When
discussing
corporate departures from New York, starting in the mid 60's
and
continuing on into the 70's, the NEW YORK TIMES would always talk
about
the allure of "the Sun Belt," and of the temperature in Houston,
and of
other environmental inducements, but never at any time was there
any
discussion as to the incredible State Income Taxes that Nelson
Rockefeller
was demanding, and getting, out of the Legislature. But the
TIMES
was lying, as it is very good at, as the Editors knew then that
the
attraction of the Southern Sun Belt did not explain why a large
volume
of the corporate exodus out of New York City went north into
states
like Connecticut (which had no state personal or corporate taxes
in the
1960's), New Hampshire and Vermont.
Business managers were also
lying
in their public explanations of corporate exodus, as I mentioned
earlier
in the context of deception in Commercial dynasties, as they
deflected
attention away from Nelson's State Income Tax, into such nice
soft
areas of "employee preferences" and the like. The closest point
the NEW
YORK TIMES came to in hitting the nail right on the head (in
this
area of corporate geographical exodus to avoid unreasonable
taxation),
came during the reign of Governor Hugh Carey in 1977, when
the New
York State Senate Labor Committee under Chairman Norman Levy,
out
from underneath the thumb of Nelson Rockefeller, held Hearings on
this
question, and found that of 111 corporate executives interviewed
in New
York City, 76 reluctantly admitted that State income taxes were
the
propulsion force driving their relocation plans [see the NEW YORK
TIMES
["Corporations Fret About New York Tax"], Section 1, page 28
(April
3, 1977)]. So much for the nice
temperature of Houston.
=============================================================[163]
Income
Taxes have a history of being used to accomplish special
objectives
which, by their nature, require the creation of some
incidental
damages, and so Gremlins trying hard to run a country into
the
ground, need generally look no farther than simply initiating a
Taxing
grab on Incomes. [164]
[164]=============================================================
Although
the income tax on profits is the true source of economic
stagnation,
as Gremlins strive to run one civilization into the ground
after
another -- here their MODUS OPERANDI of deception surfaces again,
because
when Gremlins and their INTELLIGENTSIA imps try to explain away
the
true source of a long term declension in national economic
prosperity,
they will invariably turn around and point attention over
to
their irritant: INDIVIDUALS: "The nineteenth century had accepted
as one
of its basic faiths the theory of 'the harmony of interests.'
This
held that what was good for the individual was good for the society
as a
whole and that the general advancement of society could be achieved
best if
individuals were left free to seek their own individual
advantages. This harmony was assumed to exist between
one individual
and
another, between the individual and the group, and between the short
run and
the long run. In the nineteenth
century, such a theory was
perfectly
tenable, but in the twentieth century it could only be
accepted
with considerable modification [that's right -- remember,
folks,
this is the MODERN era, and you just don't need to concern
yourself
with the past]. As a result of persons
seeking their
individual
advantages, the economic organization of society was so
modified
that the actions of one such person were very likely to injure
his
fellows, the society as a whole, and his own long-range advantage
[just
somehow]. This situation led to such a
conflict between theory
and
practice, between aims and accomplishments, between individuals and
groups,
that a return to fundamentals in economics became necessary
[meaning
total top-down Gremlin control of the economy]." - Imp
Carroll
Quigley in TRAGEDY AND HOPE, at page 497 [MacMillian Company,
New
York (1966)]. Notice what really irritates Gremlins and the imps
they
hire: INDIVIDUALS, and everything else
Noble and Great their
impending
Celestial Status represents. Here we
have a sponsored
Professor
Carroll Quigley, trying to pass himself off as a history
professor,
and while using an opportunity to come down on free
competitive
enterprise, he starts throwing invectives interstitially at
those
annoying INDIVIDUALS. And INDIVIDUALS,
exercising their own
judgment,
managing their own affairs, and trying to be responsible for
themselves
as the embryo Eloheim that they are, have long been a
recurring
source of irritation to Gremlins [see INDIVIDUALISM AND
SOCIALISM
by Kirby Page [Farrar & Rhinehart, New York (1933)]; Socialist
Kirby
Page equates that heinous cult of INDIVIDUALISM with so called
Capitalism,
and predicts that both will soon be crushed by National
Socialism. Lucifer has a few surprises to throw at both
Carroll Quigley
and
Kirby Page at the Last Day, synchronous with Page and Quigley
momentarily
OPENING THEIR EYES once again, too late, to realize that
they
had repeated the same doctrinal error here in the Second Estate
over a
protracted period of time that they previously committed once
before
in the First Estate, and also over a protracted period of time.
And
there are several very good reasons why INDIVIDUALS are so
irritating
to Gremlins, one of which is:
"The most basic,
fundamental
Principle of truth, that upon which the entire plan of God
is
founded, is free agency. As an
Individual, you have the right to
govern
yourself. It is divinely given to you
to think and act as you
wish. It is your decision. "It must be pointed out, however, that
although
you have the free agency to choose for yourself, you do not
have
the right to choose what will be the result of your decision. The
results
of what you think and do are governed by law.
Good returns
good. Evil returns evil [throughout this Letter, I
will cite examples
on how
the violation of Principles will always generate latent secondary
adverse
circumstances out in the future, with the seminal point of
origin
of those secondary adverse circumstances being latent [invisible]
and
difficult to see]. You govern yourself
by subjecting yourself to
the
discipline of the law. If you are
obedient to God's law, you remain
free. You progress and are perfected. If you are disobedient to God's
law,
you bind yourself to that which restricts your progress. You
become
defiled and unworthy to be an associate with those who are more
clean
and pure." - William R. Bradford in CONFERENCE REPORTS,
at
53
(October, 1979).

making life difficult for INDIVIDUALS is important for Gremlins

For
a
discussion on the relationship in effect between the enactment of
American
Income Taxes and war, going back to the American Civil War; and
of the
second administration of President Cleveland who wanted to
reinstate
the Income Tax to give away massive financial aid and quash
an
impending rebellion by Western farmers, see a chapter entitled "What

Winkle Woke Up To" in a book entitled THE COLD WAR AND THE
INCOME

=============================================================[165]
and
quiet national economic enscrewment still another. [166]
[166]=============================================================
"The
real
effect of a tax on profits is to make the country possess at any
given
period, a smaller capital and smaller aggregate production, and
to make
the stationary state be attained earlier, and with a smaller sum
of
national wealth [yes, the Gremlins know exactly what they are doing].
It is
possible that a tax on profits might even diminish the existing
capital
of the country. If the rate of profit
is already at the
practical
minimum, that is, at the point at which all that portion of
the
annual increment which would tend to reduce profits is carried off
either
by exportation or by speculation; then if a tax is imposed which
reduces
profits still lower, the same causes which previously carried
off the
increase would probably carry off a portion of the existing
capital. A tax on profits is thus, in a state of
capital and
accumulation
like that in England, extremely detrimental to the national
wealth. And this effect is not confined to the case
of a peculiar, and
therefore
intrinsically unjust, tax on profits.
The mere fact that
profits
have to bear their share of a heavy general taxation, tends, in
the
same manner as a peculiar tax, to drive capital abroad, to stimulate
imprudent
speculations by diminishing safe gains, to discourage further
accumulation,
and to accelerate the attainment of the stationary state
[this
STATIONARY STATE is the great Gremlin objective where trade
atrophies,
business dies from strangulation, and commerce stops
altogether,
as they run one civilization into the ground after another].
This is
thought to have been the principal cause of the decline of
Holland,
or rather of her having ceased to make progress [and until the
United
States gets rid of the Gremlins that are now running the show,
then we
are next]." - John S. Mill, III, PRINCIPLES OF POLITICAL
ECONOMY,
Book V, Chapter 3, Section 3 ["Of Direct Taxes"], at page 827
[University
of Toronto Press, Toronto (1965)]. Born in London, John
Stuart
Mill lived from 1806 to 1873; once elected to the British
Parliament,
he wrote a considerable volume of books and articles on
economics
and philosophy. PRINCIPLES ON POLITICAL
ECONOMY was written
in the
1850's, and grew in size as it appeared in several versions. His
philosophical
orientation was that of statist and socialist.

democratic capitalism and is widely accepted as a secure policy
commitment
which does not require serious examination." - Blum

=============================================================[167]
Having
been contaminated with clever lies originating from a devilish
source
far beyond their minimal factual level of comprehension to
understand,
and also requiring a level of judgment operating on a
repository
of knowledge in excess of their limited capacity, some
sympathetic
little Gremlin lawyers are now trying to twist basic
property
rights around to have the mere omission of an Income Tax be
construed
as a Tort on impoverished people, arguing that poor folks now
have
some type of a social right to your money.
[168]
[168]=============================================================
"...today,
we see poverty as the consequence of large impersonal forces
in a
complex industrial society -- forces like automation, lack of jobs
and
changing technologies that are beyond the control of the
individual."

=============================================================[168]
The
bottom line is that the Income Tax continues to roll on; opposition
is
minimal; Tax Protestors are being frowned upon by the general public
at
large, viewed as cheaters making Government only more expensive for
themselves;
and so the Income Tax is now accomplishing its Bolshevik
political
mission in the philosophically divided House of the United
States,
with flying colors. [169]
[169]=============================================================
Accomplishing
countermanding objectives in this area is the art of
constructing
cogent arguments -- arguments in legal briefs in your tax
cases;
arguments to others to catalytically trigger another supporting
view;
and arguments to taxing legislative jurisdictions. As it pertains
to the
presentation of arguments to legislative (as they largely freely
pick
and choose the reciprocity demands of contracts they have folks
locked
into by having first thrown an array of benefits at them),
argument
making itself is an art: "The
purpose of arguments is to
persuade
the policy maker that the public interest would be promoted by
the
adoption of a tax proposal which would financially benefit its
advocates. Regarding some proposals, the direct
financial interest of
a great
majority of people may be quiet clear.
Such proposals rarely
create
active tax issues. Regarding other
proposals, the public
interest
may be difficult to ascertain. The
amount of direct cost or
benefit
involved to each member of the public may be so small and
uncertain
that other tests of the public interest takes on great
importance. It is to these indirect and somewhat subtle
interest
objectives
that arguments are commonly addressed.
The nature of the
arguments
will appear from an example. When the
witness for a taxpayer
interest
group appears at hearings before the Congressional taxing
committee,
he does not merely say, and often does not say at all:
"Please
adopt our proposal because it would benefit us." It is always
assumed
that each witness thinks his group would be benefited by the
action
he proposes. The argument [presented]
is usually on a high plane
of
public welfare. The witness may indeed
point out that his industry
is
subject to an unusual hardship, but even in this case the testimony
usually
goes beyond the private benefit to consider the public
interest." [A rare exception to this rule happened
when, for
example,
a Congressman once snorted a statement to a representative of
the
NATIONAL COUNCIL OF SALESMAN'S ORGANIZATIONS, who was in Congress
lobbying
for a repeal of some excise taxes they didn't feel like
paying]: "Why don't they get together and
tell us how repeal would
benefit
the country, instead of each trying to tell us how it would
benefit
his own industry?"
- NEW YORK TIMES, Section 3,
page 4
(June 19, 1949)." - Roy Blough in THE ARGUMENT PHASE OF
TAXPAYER
POLITICS, 17 University of Chicago Law Review 604, at 605
(1950).
Other than for that lone wolf exception, witnesses do not
normally
argue that their proposals would benefit themselves, but
generally
deflect attention of to some high and noble national welfare
objective. This is an idea Patriots might take time to
think about
because
one of the reasons Federal Judges come down so hard on Tax
Protestors
is because the judge views the Protestor as being a self-
centered
cheap person immorally pursuing his own self-enrichment; the
background
factual information possessed by the Protestor (of his
knowledge
of that tax, if surrendered over to the Bolsheviks in
Washington,
would only accelerate the destruction of his own Country)
is
factual knowledge on conspiracy and Gremlin intrigue largely unknown,
unappreciated,
and unseen by Judges. The presentation
of these
historical
background arguments to the Judge are arguments that are
sounding
in the Tort of unfairness, and cannot be considered on their
merits
whenever contracts are in effect; only the Patriot's total and
thorough decontamination of himself, away from the adhesive juristic
environment that characterizes the King's Equity Jurisdiction, has any
hope of allowing the DE MINIMIS entrance into your arguments of evidence
countermanding the Judge's quiet assumption of your cheapness as a
person, by talking about the illicit legislative motives that were very
much present when those taxation statutes were either enacted (or
alleged to have been enacted). But important for the moment is the
general lack of concern by Patriots in the quality of the arguments and
the flow of the logical continuity presented therein, but in order to
see our own error, we must develop the ability to see and evaluate these
arguments from the Judge's perspective; not an easy thing to do, as
Judges are approaching the issue totally different from us. For an
abstract theoretical model in how to do so, see Wayne Grennan in
ARGUMENT EVALUATION [University Press of America, Lanham, Maryland
(1984)].
