"Rather
than love, than money, than fame, give me truth."
– Henry
David Thoreau

Bill Benson, for those who don't know, is
the individual who holds the 17,000 court certified documents
that prove beyond any doubt that the 16th Amendment to the
U.S. Constitution was never ratified. The U.S. Internal
Revenue Service uses the 16th Amendment, supported by
compromised federal judges, to defraud the American people of
the fruit of their labors via the income tax.

All the
American people ever see or read is the propaganda spewed by
the Department of Justice's lackey U.S. attorneys is that the
16th Amendment was ratified, it is the basis for the IRS to
collect taxes and any argument to the contrary is
"frivolous."

Right now my dear friend, Bill Benson, is
involved in a major court battle with the feds. Despite his
very serious health issues, this lion is not about to give up
the fight. I encourage everyone to read it. What this lawsuit
by the feds against Bill amounts to is the complete and total
destruction of free speech. It is designed to crush the truth
and the First Amendment using the full force of the federal
machine. This lawsuit is to keep the truth Bill has uncovered
away from the American people.

The non-ratified 16th
Amendment says:

The Congress shall have power to lay and collect
taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without
apportionment among the several States, and without regard
to any census or enumeration.
Few people,
especially those pushing alternative taxing schemes have
little or no understanding of the importance of "apportionment
among the several States, and without regard to any census or
enumeration." It is because of those carefully crafted words
that the shadow government was willing to risk the fraudulent
announcement of the 16th Amendment. They needed this amendment
passed because the Federal Reserve Act was to be passed later
that year (1913) and the income tax was created solely to feed
the central bank. The late, great Vivien Kellems knew exactly
the importance of those words:

Since a capitation means a tax of the same
amount for every person, this provision makes doubly sure
that all federal taxes must be at the same uniform rate for
everybody. This limitation that direct taxes be levied by
the Federal Government must be in proportion to a census and
apportioned among the States in accordance with numbers, is
the only provision in the Constitution that is stated twice
... "No capitation, or other direct tax shall be laid,
unless in proportion to the Census of Enumeration
hereinbefore directed to be taken." And in those two
sentences our forefathers bound fast the hands of Congress
and secured the liberty and freedom of the American people.
How? By making it utterly impossible to levy an income tax
...

An income tax is certainly a direct tax, probably
the most direct tax of all since it cannot be shifted but
must be paid by the person receiving the income. By
specifying that direct taxes must be levied in accordance
with the number of people, not upon what they produced, as
in the days of ancient Egypt, an income tax was simply out
of the question. It cannot be levied upon a man, but must be
levied upon what he receives ...

The supreme
achievement of the combined brains of all those men were
written into those two sentences and the freedom and liberty
of the American people were secured in them. For in those
two sentences the right of the free man to own something was
made inviolate. This was his distinguishing mark, the only
criterion of freedom in all the world, the right of the
common man to retain for himself the fruit of his labor
...

But his power to levy direct taxes was limited by
an ironbound restriction: that tax must be apportioned among
the States in accordance with the population. Since all
taxes were to be at a uniform rate, Congress simply could
not penalize one section of the country, or one group of
citizens for the unfair advantage of another...

This
was the most brilliant plan ever conceived for guaranteeing
the freedom of a nation. It protected every person in his
right to private property, rich and poor alike, and under
this protection we built the richest, most powerful nation
on earth. We achieved and maintained for the majority of our
people a standard of living undreamed of before, the hope
and the envy of the whole world.
The feds may
have finally stepped in their lies so deep, they cannot escape
without the truth being exposed. As Benson's brilliant legal
counsel, Jeffrey Dickstein, points out:

As previously discussed, the United States can
not prevail as a matter of law unless it can prove Benson
"made or caused to be made false or fraudulent statements
concerning the tax benefits to be derived from the entity,
plan or arrangement" and that "he knew or had reason to know
the statements were false or fraudulent." This requires the
United States to prove the Sixteenth Amendment was properly
ratified, because if it were not properly ratified, Benson's
statements would not be false or fraudulent, they would be
true, and the United States' action would
fail.
