I caught that too! Also, while taking nothing away from GME etc, note that he used the word "elements", as in Gold, Silver.

Maybe a couple of years ago a reasonable person might have said the Supremes would never overturn Roe v Wade...

And who are you calling a sovereign citizen?

Don't forget, you are on GAW, not reddit.

Well, I think your last point is THE point. There's no clear definition. As for me, if they aren't going to define it, then I will. Let them rebut me with a definition if they want.

I have never heard that it expired. I will look into that.

I wouldn't say there is Constitutional "limit" on the Federal Government with regards to direct taxes; it's more like a clear prohibition the only exception being the mechanism of apportionment. Whatever the 16th adds to the Constitution, the prohibition on direct taxes remains in the Constitution and is actually mentioned twice.

Regardless, the Rev Act of 1862 imposes (or imposed) an excise tax, not a direct tax.

Are you saying the Revenue Act of 1862 was repealed at some point? As far as I can tell, it remains the basis of the existing tax.

Interesting stuff, OP. I'm wondering if you've ever read the Revenue Act of 1862 because that seems to be the true origin of the lncome Tax. It established the office of Commissioner of Internal Revenue and the first progressive lncome Tax. I'll include the wikipedia link here just to show it's worth looking into but the Act itself isn't too difficult to read and is easily recognizable as the lncome Tax (except that it only applied to Federal earnings).

Income tax was signed into law by Abraham Lincoln in 1862 (Revenue Act of 1862. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revenue_Act_of_1862) Regular people didn't start paying it until WWII (see Disney propaganda video link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMU-KGKK6q8

The real question for me is: how did he ever get investigated and prosecuted in the first place? Investigated by the FBI and prosecuted by the DOJ?

Interestingly, it was the same week in October 2017 that we had the big Las Vegas shooting then Trump makes his "Calm before the storm" statement with the generals. Then Weinstein gets his investigation reopened by FBI. Busy week.

The Commodities Exchange (Comex) doesn't trade silver or gold. It trades contracts for silver and gold (and other commodities). These "contracts" are the paper referred to in the term "paper gold". If you take control of a contract, the contract will have a date and price on it. If you're holding the contract on that date it should mean you're buying the commodity for that price--except most contracts holders don't actually take delivery, they roll it over to the next contract period or take the cash equivalent. So even though they can't inflate the supply of gold, they can inflate the supply of contracts thereby bringing down the price. The vulnerability, of course, is if the paper price gets too low then too many will take delivery and wipe out the inventory of the real commodity (because there are more contracts than the underlying commodity they are supposed to represent) and Comex would default. And then...financial apocalypse.

I'm with you on this. It's like a false-flase flag.

Maybe it was a false flag that got messed up.

That's funny. Didn't the US invade them once for doing that very thing?

States coming together to work together IS the federal government. That's what the federal government is: states coming together to work together. If these states are coming together to work together now, then that's the new federal government.

Hey, he's not lying. They push climate change to get their carbon tax. Once they get the tax, no more climate change. (Maybe.)
