-Caveat Lector- <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"> </A> -Cui Bono?- Roosevelt's New Deal began the era of entitlements which are with us today. Two points must be made here: 1) The 16th Amendment was never properly ratified. This has been proven in court. Two of the 36 states that had allegedly ratified the amendment were California and Kentucky - There is no record of California's vote, and Kentucky legislators voted against it 22-9. This violates the amendment procedure of our Constitution, Article V. 2) The 16th Amendment has Marxist roots. Plank 2 of the Communist Manifesto calls for: "a heavy progressive or graduated income tax". Thus, the conspirators, through financial influence and brilliant deception, had established the mechanisms to: 1.run up the debt; 2.collect the debt; 3.for themselves, to avoid the taxes necessary to pay the interest on the debt. The pillage of America began in earnest during the Depression. The Fed deflated (reduced) the money supply, forcing thousands into bankruptcy and foreclosure. The following was intended for leading financiers only, and appeared in the Civil Servants' Year Book, "The Organizer", Jan. 1934" "Capital must protect itself in every way...Debts must be collected and loans and mortgages foreclosed as soon as possible. When through a process of law the common people have lost their homes, they will be more tractable and more easily governed by the strong arm of the law applied by the central power of leading financiers. People without homes will not quarrel with their leaders. This is well known among our principal men now engaged in forming an imperialism of capitalism to govern the world." Plank no.1 of the Communist Manifesto is "abolition of private property". The conspirators knew that the American people had to somehow be convinced into paying for the government borrowing that began during the Depression, Their opportunity came during W.W.II with the victory Tax Act of 1942 (56 Stat, Ch. 619, pg. 884; October 21, 1942). This was a voluntary and temporary measure to help finance the war effort. Why was it voluntary? Article I, Section 2, Clause 3 and Article I, Section 9, Clause 4 of the Constitution forbids direct taxation unless apportioned. Apportionment means to divide equally among the population (census). The last time direct taxes were laid upon the American people by apportionment was during the Civil War. The Victory Tax Act of 1942 was repealed on May 29, 1944 (58 Stat, Ch. 210, pg. 234). With American patriotism high and D-Day a week away, who would notice that this voluntary unapportioned direct tax had been repealed? The clauses of the Constitution regarding direct taxation are still law. The 16th Amendment gave Congress "no new powers of taxation" (Stanton vs. Baltic Mining Co., 240 U.S. 103). The "...incomes...without apportionment..." in the 16th Amendment places it in the category of an indirect (excise) tax (Brushaber vs. Union Pacific RR Co., 240 U.S. 1). Simply stated, it is a profits tax. How would the government operate without personal income tax revenues? With imposts, duties, and excises (Article I, Section 8, Clause I). Can you see why NAFTA and GATT is promoted? The 1984 Grace Commission, Report to the President, pg. 4 reveals where personal income taxes go: "100% of what is collected is absorbed solely by interest on the Federal Debt and by Federal transfer payments. In other words, all individual income tax revenues are gone before one nickel is spent on the services taxpayers expect from their government." Can you begin to see why there have been 195 tax increases since 1933? Today, three quarters of the Federal budget is unconstitutional, according to Article 1, Section 8, Clauses 2-18. Why do our elected representatives allow this? Remember, the third item on Col. House's agenda was to control both political parties of the U.S. "Tragedy and Hope, A History of the World in Our Time" (by Carroll Quigley, 1966, The MacMillan Co., N.Y.; available from Angriff Press, Box 2726, Hollywood, California 90028) was written by Georgetown University Professor Carroll Quigley. It was intended as a text for aspiring globalists, and gives a 1300 page account of the history, mechanisms, and goals through which a ruling financial dynasty would control a global economy. On page 52, the author writes that the international bankers were: "...devoted to secrecy and the secret use of financial influence in political life." There are two organizations formed by and intimately associated with the international bankers: 1.The Council on Foreign Relations 2.The Tri Lateral Commission Let's examine briefly their background and their stated goals. Because America refused to join the League of Nations following WWI, representatives from the American financial dynasties met with their British counterparts in Paris on May 19, 1919. The American contingent was led by Col. House and became known as the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). It was founded on July 29, 1921, backed by Rockefeller and Carnegie Foundation money. It included many of the same people who established the Federal Reserve. Its quarterly journal, Foreign Affairs, has called for world government as far back as December, 1922. CFR member James Warburg (whose father Paul Warburg merged his Manhattan Bank with Rockefeller's Chase Bank), a former aide to FDR, told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee this on Feb. 17, 1950: "You shall have world government, whether or not you like it, by conquest or consent. On Nov. 25th, 1959, the CFR published Study NO.7, which spells out their goal: "...building a new international order (which) must be responsive to world aspirations for peace (and) for social and economic change... an international order...including states labeling themselves as Socialist." In the 50th anniversary issue of "Foreign Affairs", a leading article was written by CFR member Kingman Brewster, Jr., entitled "Reflections on Our National Purpose". In this article, he stated that our national purpose should be to abolish our nationality. In a 1974 article in "Foreign Affairs", entitled "The Hard Road to World Order", CFR member Richard Gardner wrote that the house of world order would have to be built through: "...an end run around our national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece. As of June 1992, the CFR has 2905 members in the U.S. (1992 Annual Report, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Harold Pratt House, 58 East 68th St., N.Y., N.Y.10021 The second organization, The Tri Lateral Commission, was formed in 1973 by David Rockefeller (grandson of John D. Rockefeller). David Rockefeller has also been a director of the CFR since 1949. The Tri Lat was the brainchild of Columbia University professor Zbigriew Bzrezinski, who, in his book "Between Two Ages", advocated an economic alliance among the western industrialized nations. Rockefeller hired Bzrezinski, made him the executive director, and established a tri-lateral alliance encompassing Japan, North America, and western Europe. Its first meeting was held in Tokyo Oct. 21, 1973. In Bzrezinski's book, the author states: on page 198 - America is in obsolescence; on page 260 - he advocates central (Marxist) planning; on page 296 - he wants to develop limitations on sovereignty; on page 308 of his 309 page book, he finally states his goal: a world government. Henry Kissinger is one of the most powerful and influential members of the Tri Lat (also CFR). He was interviewed by columnist Paul Scott, who said that it is Kissinger's belief that by controlling energy, especially oil, one can control nations and their financial systems. By placing food, oil, and the world's monetary system under international control, Kissinger is convinced that a world government can become a reality. As of April, 1992, the Tri Lateral Commission has 320 members divided up among Japan, North America, and Western Europe. (The Tri Lateral Commission, 345 East 46th Street, N.Y., N.Y. 10017 or call 212-661-1180) The Tri Lat's goal is a world government, the same as that of the CFR. The first 35 members of the Tri Lat were also members of the CFR. They both have as members some of the most elite names in finance, industry, media, labor, academic circles, and government. Their rosters read like a who's who in these areas. What's the difference between the CFR and the Tri Lat? The CFR has been around since 1921, the Tri Lat, since 1973. The only difference is the fact that the Tri Lat is an elite group, who's been chosen to speed up the process of a one-world government through the control of food, energy, and an international monetary system. Keep in mind that economic union always precedes political union. Let's examine the CFR and Tri Lat influence in government. CFR control in government actually began in earnest in 1939 by establishing within the U.S. State Department a "Committee on Post-War Problems", the group (staffed and funded by the CFR) which designed the United Nations. (the story of which is contained in State Dept. Publication 2349-"Report To The President On The Results of the San Francisco Conference"). Since WWII, the CFR has filled key positions in virtually every administration since then. Furthermore, since Eisenhower, every man who has won the nomination for either party (except Goldwater in 1964 and Reagan in 1980) has been a member of the CFR: Democrats 1.John W. Davis(1924) 2.Adlai Stevenson (1952,56) 3.John F. Kennedy (196b) 4.Hubert Humphrey (1968) 5.George McGovern (1972) 6.Jimmy Carter (1976,80) 7.Walter Mondale (1984) 8.Michael Dukakis (1988) 9.Bill Clinton (1992) Republicans 1.Herbert Hoover (1928,32) 2.Wendell Wilkie (1940) 3.Thomas Dewey (1944,48) 4.Dwight Eisenhower (1952,56) 5.Richard Nixon (1960,68,72) 6.Gerald Ford (1976) 7.George Bush (1988,92) (who was also a director of the CFR 1977-1979) An important point must be stressed: By controlling the candidates we vote for, the CFR is assured their goal of world government. Why? Because CFR presidents fill key positions with CFR members by APPOINTMENT.
