The first thing they did to accomplish their takeover was convince Secretary Of State Philander Knox to
lie to the American people and tell them that the 16th Amendment, the income tax amendment, had been
legally ratified by the states when it was not.

President Woodrow Wilson, who signed the Federal Reserve Act into law later said, in regret, I am a most
unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is now controlled by its
system of credit. We are no longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction
and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant
men.

It's actually very simple. Congress tried to enact an income tax in 1894. the Supreme Court said that's
unconstitutional. When the Supreme Court says something is unconstitutional, it's unconstitutional. They
tried again in 1913 and the Supreme Court said the 16th Amendment conferred no new power of taxation.
So if they didn't have it then, and they didn't get it, they don't have it. There is no constitutional basis for

Yeah, I think we're moving in that direction because there's not much we can do without permission. The
absence of a police state is that people are free and if you don't commit crimes, you can do what you
want. But today, you can't open up a business. Uh, you can't develop land. Uh, uh, you can hardly do
anything. You can't go to the bank. (STAMMERS) You can't go to the doctor without the government knowing
what you're doing.

Uh, and, uh, they talk about medical privacy. That's gone. Financial privacy, that's gone. Uh, the right to
own property. That's essentially gone, so you have to get permission from the government for almost
everything. And if that is the definition of a police state, that you can't do anything unless the government
gives you permission, we're well on our way. Uh, this is, this is something that, uh, people eventually, I

Now, let's listen to this quote by Robert Reich, a member of President Clinton's cabinet and one of his
most trusted advisers. The dirty little secret is that both houses of Congress are irrelevant. America's
domestic policy is now being run by Alan Greenspan and the Federal Reserve. America's foreign policy is
now being run by the International Monetary Fund. When the President decides to go to war, he no longer
needs a declaration of war from Congress.
