For The 'You Can't Make This Stuff Up' Dept.

What happened to The Spirit of ’76?  Pete Hendrickson wrote a book called Cracking the Code that offers evidence to support the claim that the income tax was meant to be an excise tax that applies only to those who benefit in some way from a federal privilege, such as government employees, office holders, contractors, and welfare recipients. Regardless of what might be said against this claim, thousands of people, following that concept, have received large tax refunds from the IRS.  To pressure Hendrickson to repudiate his book, a federal judge has ordered his wife, Doreen, to sign a statement acknowledging that the income tax applies to her. If she does not do this – and if Hendrickson does not repudiate his book, she will go to prison. She is standing firm and will not sign a statement she believes to be false.   The judge, Victoria Roberts (a Clinton appointee) does not claim that Doreen owes any tax or that her interpretation of the tax law is incorrect, only that she must sign a statement that repudiates the concept in Cracking the Code. In other words, she has been ordered by a judge to perjure herself, which would make her guilty of a felony. Clearly, this is not the America of 1776.

The US is the largest arms exporter in the world, responsible for 33% of arms exports across the planet. This is a boon to the US arms industry, but not to the US economy. That’s because most of the money paid by other countries for US weapons was given to those countries by the US government in the form of ‘aid’. In other words, this is a means of funneling money from taxpayers into the military-industrial complex that then gives the weapons they produce to governments they favor. Top recipients are Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Pakistan, and Iraq. CNN 2016 May 24 (Story)

A 2013 White House report on spying stated: “governments should not use their offensive cyber capabilities to change the amounts held in financial accounts or otherwise manipulate financial systems.” That implies that the US government, through the NSA, has been (and probably still is) changing financial accounts and manipulating financial systems. Anyone else doing that would be thrown in prison. However, the NSA employs a thousand analysts and hackers, and monitors international banking and credit-card payments. The agency is a subsidiary of the Pentagon, and some fear that military black-budget projects may be funded by manipulating financial systems and by insider trading based on data collected from spying.

Accusations of pedophilia against Hollywood insiders recently have been documented by victims Corey Feldman and Corey Haim, who were child stars in the 1990s. Both became drug addicts, which contributed to Haim’s death in 2010. This article, based on an interview with former child actor, Elijah Wood, reveals a picture of incredible depravity that is hidden from public view. The BizParentz Foundation, an organization to protect child actors, says that Hollywood currently is sheltering about 100 active abusers. The Australian 2016 May 23 (Story) (Cached)
