I know a fellow who has made a living growing Marijuana. He has NEVER filed income taxes. He pays with cash has always rented and is a wonderful human being. I think the trick here is NEVER.

And what’s worse to me is that when you pay your home off you really don’t even own it because you have to pay rent to the county (real estate taxes) the rest of your life. If you don’t pay it they take it! That’s criminal!

I think you are right. I too know someone that operates similarly and has never paid income taxes. Wish I knew this tactic 40 years ago.

Freedom Law School is helping people legally all over the US to become free of illegal taxation. I’ve contacted them to get my company out of this illegal taxation. They’re ready to help but some of the people in my office are worried because the system is so criminally rigged in favor of the elite that who knows what they’re capable of doing to you if you stop paying taxes. The whole judicial system is corrupt and they’re the ones that decide cases. They don’t follow any of our laws or the Constitution anymore.

I just watched Redacted 2 days ago on taxes. Clayton Morris interviewed Joe Bannister, ex IRS agent who explained why it is unconstitutional. Agent for truth.com is Joe Bannisters website. It was an interesting watch on YouTube. I’m surprised it is up on YouTube. Redacted has a private website also in case YouTube takes it down.

The only way to fix this is the same way our founders fixed the illegal tax system foisted upon them for those in government are not about to let us touch the revenue stream that funds their grotesquely bloated salaries.

Amazing article - I haven't read this explained so coherently before, even though I knew that tax was basically fraud & the Fed is privately owned. This is not only true of the US, but is replicated in various forms all across the West. In Australia our Australian Taxation Office is a private company. And, likewise, income taxes started during the war. If they introduce CBDCs it will be more difficult to withhold taxes, so we must vigorously oppose it. Failing that we will need to use private crypto currencies like Monero in order to remain sovereign.

"Qortal does not use Proof of Work (PoW) or Proof of Stake (PoS) like most traditional chains, but instead uses ‘minting’. Qortal does not reward only the block signer but rather rewards every minter who is online, synced, and has a minting key assigned to their node (which ‘proves the node’ on behalf of the key assigned). Say goodbye to the battle of MINING and welcome in a fair new system where everyone is rewarded for EVERY block MINTED."

The new blockchain tech I am referring to is vastly superior to this.

With online minters assigned a node that is publicly discoverable there is potential for attacks and exploits, etc.

With Qortal you don't have to mint at all if you don't want to. All you need to do is create an account and use it. Minting is in addition not required.

You do not understand my point. It is through the mining and nodes that are publicly viewable that the chain can be brought down. I did not see the code for their tech, so i can't explain the exact point(s) of attack specifically, but the concept leaves a lot to be desired.

May I please suggest you consider the information at LostHorizons.com? I and several hundred thousand other honest, law-abiding American citizens have received 100% tax refunds by merely rebutting the fraudulent information returns issued by non-federal payers when filing tax returns. Over 2 billion dollars in 100% tax refunds from not only the IRS but 38 state governments have been secured by readers of this website over the last 20 years who have distinguished between income and non-income receipts. You may find that upon carefully studying the information at this website that the income tax in the US is entirely constitutional but has been misapplied on a grand scale to the non-federal private sector since the 1940s. How the fraud had been perpetrated was not clearly understood until 2003 when the author of this website became the first American in US history to get a 100% refund of all funds withheld from his paycheck including federal income tax social Security and Medicare. Since he wrote his book in 2003 now and about the 16th edition, hundreds of thousands of honest law-abiding Americans have duplicated his efforts by rebutting in a legally meaningful manner the fraudulent 1099s and fraudulent W-2s issued by private sector payroll departments.

The collection is done via constructive fraud; whereby private sector payroll departments are bullied and coerced into pretending to be "Withholding Agents" by misleading publications by the IRS, designed to dupe these lackeys who neither read nor understand the legal terms contained in these publications. And these IRS publications do not carry the weight of law. A "withholding agent" is defined in 26 USC Sections 1441-1443 as anyone required by law to withhold from foreign nationals or two types of foreign entities. As a matter of law, all information returns (W-2s, 1099s, etc.) issued by nonfederal, private payroll departments are fraudulent because they are issued in defiance of the reporting requirements of 26 USC Section 6051, which requires only "wages as defined...", in two other sections of the code, be reported. And those sections that define "wages" are primarily a list of exemptions of types of payments from federal employers to federal employees which are excluded from the definition of "wages". 26 USC 7434 provides for civil damages for fraudulent information returns against such private sector payers who libel you with such fraudulent information returns. I am not yet aware of any one who has litigated with this provision of law against a payer. At this point, after litigating 5 cases as a plaintiff for 10 years, having taken two cases to the US Supreme Court and having observed evidence of corruption, bribes, and money-laundering by federal judges, I entertain no false notions of ever getting justice from this thoroughly infiltrated (by communists), corrupt, dying nation.

Hi, Brian

26 CFR 1.1-1a tells us a national is NOT taxed (except for 871 b and 877 b).

What throws a reader is that the status of national is labeled "non-resident alien individual", which, EVERYWHERE ELSE in the CFR DOES mean a foreigner!

I am a national since 2017 and not a peep from IRS since.

My employer fumbled my W-4 exempt status last year so I just recently filed the Form 1040-NR, with all zeroes except for my refund of $1632.53.

I have an acquaintance who has done much research into changing his status and he has talked about the Buck Act. I never refer to my payer as an employer, since employer is another deceptive term of art defined in Title 26 as someone who "employs" an "employee", again as defined in Title 26. But I've found it difficult, despite having superior knowledge of the Tax Code, to find payroll managers willing to listen to anyone but their paid liars whether misinformed Tax Attorneys (shills) or ignorant, misinformed CPAs (most trained/programmed by the IRS) and, of course, the dishonest IRS. Sadly most people would rather follow habits than learn something new and correct that might reveal they have been doing something wrong for a very long time. I haven't found any company that I can work for that is not entranced into requiring a W-4. So I have submitted a qualified W-4 with an affidavit on the reverse side and a reference to the affidavit beside my signature along with a stern warning letter. But once you allow theft by conversion, that is civil conversion, where a misinformed and/or dishonest payer hands over your money to the IRS, even though they are not a withholding agent, it is, more often than not, difficult to correct the fraudulent W-2s and oblige the IRS to return your property. There are hundreds of thousands of examples of the IRS returning property, and one such example of mine with the state of Georgia returning all withholdings (overpayments) on public display at LostHorizons.com, when one properly rebuts the fraudulent W-2s or 1099s, but it is by far the best for them to never get their greedy hands on property that never was theirs in the first place. Working for a living in the private sector is an untaxable right, and is no exercise of federal privilege or excise taxable economic activity, and payers should not be libeling people in the private sector with such fraudulent information returns nor burdening them with illegal withholding against payments that have nothing to do with federal income. If the enforcement of the limits of the federal income tax is not adhered to sooner rather than later by an informed populace, the problem will eventually get resolved by violence, which is the worst way and final resort to resolve the repeated violation of natural law.

The whole system is based on constructive fraud.

The IRS "collection" via lien, levy, seizure, garnishment is TOTALLY legal against the "U.S. citizen/resident" BUT NOT against the national who has not volunteered to be a "taxpayer" via the W-4.

Such is the teeth of the Babylonian Talmudic UCC Merchant Law of the Code of Federal Regulations. The 1040 is the Shetar.

Read Mel Stamper's Fruit From a Poisonous Tree for a good history of how the fraud was perpetuated. One must renounce corporate citizenship under statute (14th amendment legal fiction, which has become the default political status) and embrace Article 4 Section 2(a) Citizen under public law, and stop participating in any of the voluntary giving away of power to the corporate parasites who have been masquerading as "the government" for the last century through "voluntary compliance" with licensing, titling, voting, filing and all the rest of the enslavement schemes.

I have silly questions, but I’m sure other are concerned about the same things.

I looked into this almost 2 years ago. I was concerned with the current administration going after me just because they can and they’re SOBs.

How do you get your SS gifts back? Do you get your employer gifts back, too? Does this mean you won’t get Medicare - I’m thinking how will I eventually get insurance when I’m over 65.

I was under the impression State taxes were different than Federal taxes because you’re a resident of your state.

I know different Dems of folks that got diplomatic passports, but don’t know how they did with getting their taxes back.

Does anyone think it’s ‘possible’ that Trump will expose this when he gets reelected?

Thanks.

As long as there's a record of your having paid into the social security system for at least 40 quarters, you should be eligible to receive benefits, at least as long as the Ponzi scheme is in place. Part of the reason the federal government is mass murdering people with genocide shots is because of the roughly 70 trillion dollars in unfunded liability of social Security. They have a financial incentive to kill off as many recipients as they can to solve the unfunded liability problem. Trump is Ashkenazi Jew. I've seen him at the Wailing Wall wearing a kippah (the small skull cap). The 'god of this world' (2 Cor 4:4) has blinded the minds of so many to the fact that 'the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one' (1 John 5:19), also called the prince/ruler of this world (John 14:30; Luke 4:6; John 12:31; John 16:12). That means that even if Trump is elected, the US government will still be under satanic control, and will be among the governments ruling which will be destroyed by the kingdom that Christians pray to come (see Matt 6:9,10 and Daniel 2:44). Trump is an actor, playing his part to make roughly half of the US population think that there is some sort of hope in human governments. I doubt Trump is going to do anything to expose the widespread fraud, of the misapplication of federal income tax in the US to non-federal economic activity which has been going on heavily since the 1940s, because he like others have benefited from the atheistic Zionist Jewish influence into Christendom the last 100 years that has duped them into thinking somehow that modern day Israel which is comprised mostly of atheists who reject Jesus as the Messiah, are somehow still God's chosen people. Careful readers of the scriptures understand that Abraham's seed are not his fleshly descendants, but rather those who have faith like him. Such seed of Abraham have been from among both fleshly Jews and gentiles since Cornelius first received holy Spirit.

Re Social Security:

If you have worked the 40 quarters, what you receive are not benefits, it's your 'pay-out'. Benefits are what you get without having done the 40 quarters, or extraneous additions.

You can get 100% of your social Security Medicare and federal income tax returned, from the last three or possibly 6 years, just like hundreds of thousands of honest law-abiding Americans have done over the last 20 years. Please see the thousands of examples of 100% refund checks from the IRS and over 38 state governments at the bulletin board page below:

https://www.losthorizons.com/BulletinBoard.htm

Most states base their income tax systems off of the same definitions that the federal income tax uses. But your revenues have to be federal income in the first place. 90 to 95% of the population that is not yet retired drawing Social Security do not receive federal income, but instead receive non-federal private sector revenues. The process is rather simple for correcting the fraudulent characteristics attributed to your revenues done by ignorant non-federal private sector payers who issue fraudulent W-2s or fraudulent 1099s against you. They do this because they've been told to and they are uninformed about the law regarding the use of these forms. These fraudulent information returns and only these fraudulent information returns create federal income tax liability unless they are rebutted. The hundreds of thousands of Americans listed at the bulletin board page above who have received 100% tax refunds from the IRS and 38 state governments have secured these refunds by rebutting the fraudulent information returns in a legally meaningful manner.

If you divorce yourself you don't get it back. And you don't get SS and you don't do Medicare. Self pay cash. It's a hard thing to come to grips with but in the long run if you contract your skills or start a business it'll even out.

Yes, the Income Tax is voluntary-for a national, but NOT for the 14th Amendment "U.S. citizen/resident". The voluntary nature is in your voluntary choice to be a national, just like the State Department website provides.

Yes the voluntary nature of the federal income tax is that it is voluntary for you to work for the federal government and thus receive federal income. For the rest of us who work in the non-federal private sector, we are exercising a right that cannot be taxed by the indirect excise federal income tax. If you work in the private sector and have received an information returned such as a W-2 or 1099, if you fail to rebut it properly, you are presumed in the eyes of the law as having engaged in excise taxable activity. More than likely your payer will have stolen some of your money and given it to the federal government. Failure to properly rebut the fraudulent information returns (as a matter of law all information returns issued by private sector payroll departments are fraudulent) nullifies your ability to recover those funds and put you at risk of penalties for failure to file. But you are on the hook if you allow some payer to libel you with a W-2 or 1099.
