Hello Dawn (or as we say here in America, Good Morning),

Just last evening I was reading "Tragedy & Hope 101" by Joe Plummer, who makes an interesting observation about the income tax that dovetails neatly with your posts on this thread. Plummer, leaning heavily on Quigley of course while also critiquing and correcting him, builds the case that before earning the Democrat nomination for president, Wilson secretly agreed to a raft of stipulations put to him by the men behind the curtain, Carroll Quigley's Network, who were making his grandiose ambitions come true. Plummer asserts, and it's hard to deny now looking back, that Col. E.M. House was Wilson's surreptitious handler on behalf of the Network, as well as its political point man charged with making the stipulations happen by any means necessary. Both the Federal Reserve Act and the Income Tax Amendment were on the list of stipulations agreed to well ahead of Wilson's being sworn in. It appears Wilson was simply not interested in looking into either initiative before getting behind them, taking credit for their supposed benefits for the common man, and getting them into law. House took care of the details. We now know that the Federal Reserve system was a Trojan Horse for those that we in this generation call the Banksters; it was a soup-to-nuts fraud and psy-op. Your assertion that the Income Tax is cut from the same cloth as The Fed is congruent with Plummer's and Quigley's observations about it, as well as those made by many others. It must be said that I've heard them before but that my research ended when I was assured by a tax partner at a white shoes Manhattan firm that he had looked into it all himself. It was all bullshit, he told me years ago.

Funny how much more we know now about both The System and the personal weaknesses of our friends and neighbors who serve and profit by it. Upton Sinclair was right.

Applying the Iron Rule of Barter, above, that those with state licenses, like a law license, will do or say whatever they need to to remain members in good standing of their cartel, in his case the NY State Bar, I've decided to delve more deeply into your work. Subscribed.
