The Law That Never Was

For over 100 years now the criminal, illegitimate federal government in D.C. rests its authority to collect income tax on the 16th Amendment to the Constitution, a.k.a., the "Federal Income Tax Amendment," which was allegedly ratified in 1913. After an extensive year-long nationwide research project, former Revenue Department investigator William J. Benson discovered that the 16th Amendment was not ratified by the requisite three-fourths of the 48 states [then existing], as required by the Constitution; and that nevertheless; U.S. Secretary of State Philander Knox unlawfully declared ratification of the 16th Amendment anyway. It was a shocking revelation that Benson subsequently published in a multi-volume 1984 book, entitled "The Law That Never Was." This is an interview with Bill Benson before he died.

When the federal income tax was unlawfully foisted upon the American people in 1913, [1] they lost their status as a free people and became serfs and slaves under the control of their federal masters. Keep in mind that our American predecessors lived without income taxation for more than 100 years, funding government (very well), mostly through tariffs on imported goods, which had the added benefit of promoting American manufacturers and economic independence. There was a simple reason for this: our ancestors understood that genuine freedom means the right to keep what you earn and decide for yourself what to do with those earnings. Anything else amounts to slavery. [2]

"I have to tell you that there are cases where a long course of history in fact does change the Constitution, and I can think of one instance. I believe I'm correct on this. I think if you were to go back and try to find and review the ratification of the Sixteenth Amendment, which was the internal revenue, income tax, I think if you went back and examined that carefully, you would find that a sufficient number of states never ratified that amendment. And nonetheless, I think it's fair to say that it is part of the Constitution for The United States, and I don't think any court would ever set it aside." - U.S. District Judge James C. Fox, March 23, 2003, Sullivan v. United States

Article V of the U.S. Constitution controls the amending process, which requires that three-fourths of the States ratify any amendment proposed by Congress. In 1913, there were 48 States in the American Union, so to adopt any amendment required the affirmative act of 36 states. In February 1913, Knox issued a proclamation claiming that 38 states had ratified the amendment, including Kentucky, California and Oklahoma. But, as previously shown, Kentucky had rejected the amendment, California had not voted on it and Oklahoma wanted something entirely different. If just these 3 states are excluded from the court of those which ratified, then the amendment was not legally adopted, the number of ratifying States being only 35. But, then again, a total of 11 states failed to vote on the amendment, 33 changed the language of the amendment and Minnesota sent in nothing. If the process of the adoption of the amendment is subjected to strict legal scrutiny the amendment was adopted by none.

Today, the federal government pretends that it has all encompassing power to tax the income of everyone and that the only way to change this system is to vote for congressmen who promise to modify or, even more unlikely, to repeal these laws. The American public needs to be apprised that another alternative exists and that it is entirely possible to challenge the very foundation of this taxing power upon the grounds that the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was never adopted. This challenge can be effectively made by exercising your rights under the First Article of Amendment to the Constitution for the United States of America to petition the government for redress of grievance.
