crisis in america

Smart people remember history's mistakes so as not to repeat them.

In the past, the King of England, wanting money and tired of hearing the Colonists complain about taxes and other abuses of their "inalienable rights," passed exorbitant taxes and a stamp tax on newspapers. If the King's man, the tax collector, didn't like the content of the newspaper regarding the King's taxation, no stamp would be issued. Censorship through government taxation could not be tolerated by our Founding Fathers. The tax stamp act gave rise to the Boston Tea Party and was the catalyst for the American Revolution.

Today the King's man is Nathan J. Hochman, the Assistant Attorney General of the Justice Department's Tax Division. He announced "TAXDEF" for the express purpose of "prosecuting those who take concrete action to deny the fundamental validity of the tax laws."

William J. Benson took concrete action to deny the fundamental validity of the tax laws. He uncovered the cover-up of the false and fraudulent ratification of the Sixteenth Amendment pertaining to income taxes, spoke about it on his website and urged people to exercise their FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS to require the government to obey the law. If the Sixteenth Amendment was not properly ratified, then the federal income tax is unconstitutional.

Here is how "TAXDEF" and today's tyranny works: In United States v. Benson, Case No. 1:04-cv-7403 (N.D.Ill., 2004), the government asked the court to issue an injunction to prevent Benson from making his research available over the Internet and to require him to give to the IRS a list of everyone who obtained his research, so those people could be investigated.

Benson attempted to defend by submitting evidence of the truth of what he was saying. That evidence consisted of official, certified government documents he personally obtained by visiting Washington, D.C. and the capitols of the forty-eight states that were in existence at the time. That evidence conclusively proves Benson's statements were correct. The government's declaration of ratification of the Sixteenth Amendment was fraudulent. Unable to contest the contents of the certified government documents, a federal district court judge became "TAX DEAF," threw out all of Bill's evidence and found him guilty. Every single judge in the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals thinks this is OK.

Such conduct, of course, is precluded by the First and Fifth Amendments, which our Founding Fathers decided were necessary to keep the King—and all the King's men—from:

Just as with King George in the 1700s, the king today believes it can once again censor speech through tax laws and use his henchmen judges to prevent a defense. Andrew Hamilton once put a stop to this atrocious conduct in the Peter Zenger seditious libel trial. We need to put a stop to it today.

The pleadings in the federal district court in Chicago and in the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals may be viewed at www.jeffdickstein.com. We have nothing to hide.

Another way in which "TAXDEF" is designed to work is the now pending criminal case of United States v. Hirmer, Case No. 3:08-cr-70 (N.D.Fla., Pensacola Div., 2009) wherein thirteen people have been charged with several felonies for promoting "anti-government" views on taxation, such as the Sixteenth Amendment was not ratified in accordance with the requirements of the Constitution. There too a "TAX DEAF" judge refused to address proof of the truth. See www.jeffdickstein.com/hirmer.aspx.

Benson filed a petition for writ of certiorari in the Supreme Court of the United States. That petition was denied. We have filed another petition in the Hirmer criminal case. We need to let the King know we want the petition to be heard.

We've made it fast, safe and free to let your voice be heard. In just a few seconds you can send an e-mail to major newspapers, TV and Radio Stations, to Congress, and sign a petition for Redress of Grievance. You can also send letters directly to the Supreme Court.

We have until January 14, 2010 to make our voice heard

Write to the Supreme Court and demand—always politely—that they vote to hear the Hirmer's Petition for Writ of Certiorari in Hirmer v. United States, Case No. 09-651. Send a letter to each justice:

• Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr.
• Justice Anthony M. Kennedy
• Justice Antonin Scalia
• Justice Clarence Thomas
• Justice John Paul Stevens
• Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
• Justice Samuel A. Alito, Jr.
• Justice Sonia Sotomayor
• Justice Stephen G. Breyer

The King's solution to today's budget deficit and collapsing economy is to increase the current debt by trillions of dollars, create inflation and economic depression and give AIG money to throw a $440,000 party. Our solution is "PARA-AID." The People's Alternative Recovery Act—Associated Independent Democracy plan is to give each and every one of you a 15-30% increase in your paycheck every payday. If the Sixteenth Amendment was not properly ratified, then the federal income tax is unconstitutional.

Now you get out of debt, you save your home, you create jobs and you expand the economy. If Congress needs money for legitimate expenses, it can pass a tax law that doesn't violate our fundamental rights and freedoms nor the taxing clauses of the Constitution.

Send a 'shot to be heard around the world'—Take Action and let your voice be heard. Our King has gone too far. If we can't debate and we can't defend, we have lost the precious freedoms for which our troops are now fighting—and have in many other wars fought—to protect. Support the troops, support your country, support your family and preserve the Constitution from destruction by today's Benedict Arnolds.
