Requirement for Consent

In the legal realm, ignorance of the law is no excuse. Therefore, if anyone at the government agency can or should be held 1 responsible for acts that violate the law and our rights, it should be the ignorant and deliberately misinformed clerk or 2 employee who committed the act. However, the managers of these employees should also be culpable, because they 3 deliberately developed the training and mentorship curricula of their subordinates so as to maximize the likelihood that 4 employees would violate the laws and prejudice the rights of Americans in order to encourage “voluntary compliance” with 5 what the agency wants, but which the law does not require. These devious managers will most often respond to accusations 6 of culpability by trying to maintain a defense called “plausible deniability”, in which they deny responsibility for the illegal 7 actions of their employees because they will falsely claim that they did not know about the problem. Notifying these 8 wayward government employees personally via certified mail and posting all such correspondences on a public website for 9 use in litigation against the government can be very helpful in fighting this kind of underhanded approach. This is the 10 approach of Larken Rose, who has been keeping a database of all government employees at the IRS who have been notified 11 that employees are mis-enforcing the law and yet refused to take action to remedy the wrong, concealed the fact that they 12 were notified of the wrong, and continued to claim “plausible deniability”. This has gotten him on the bad side of the IRS 13 to the point where they decided to raid his house and confiscate his computers, and then plant false evidence of kiddie porn 14 on them and have him prosecuted for it violation of kiddie porn laws. Your government servants are wicked and these 15 abuses must be stopped! 16

If you would know more about the subject of “plausible deniability” in the context of the IRS, refer to section 7.4.2 of the 17 Great IRS Hoax , Form #11.302. 18

Creating or blaming a scapegoat beyond their control

19

As was pointed out in section 6.5.1 of the Great IRS Hoax , Form #11.302, our republic was created out of the need for 20 taxation WITH representation. England was levying heavy taxes without giving us any representation in their Parliament, 21 and we didn’t like it and revolted. The original Constitutional Republican model created by the founders solved this 22 problem by giving the sovereign People in the House of Representatives the dual responsibility of both Representing us 23 AND Collecting legitimate taxes while also limiting the term of office of these representatives to two years. This ensured 24 that: 25

 The sovereign People controlled the purse of government so that it would not get out of control.  If our tax-collecting representatives got too greedy, we could throw the bastards out immediately.

26

27

 There would be no blame-shifting between the tax collectors and our representatives, because they would be one 28 and the same. 29

This scheme kept our representatives in the House who controlled the purse strings on a very short leash and prevented 30 government from getting too big or out of control. The very first Revenue Act of 1789 found in the Statutes at Large at 1 31 Stat. 24-49 created the Office of Collector of Revenue and imposed the very first official federal tax of our new 32 Constitutional Republic only upon imports. This tax was called a “duty” or “impost”, or “excise”. It placed collectors at 33 every port district and made them accountable to Congress. This type of a taxing structure remained intact until the Civil 34 War began in 1860. 35 However, our system of Taxation WITH Representation was eventually corrupted, primarily by separating the Taxation and 36 Representation functions from each other. With the start of the Civil War and as an emergency measure in the Revenue Act 37 of 1862, the Congress through legislation shifted the tax collection to a newly created “Bureau of Internal Revenue” (BIR), 38 which was part of the Executive Branch and came under the Department of Treasury, which was in the Executive Branch. 39 At that point, we lost the direct relationship between Taxation and Representation because the functions were separated 40 across two departments. All of the evils in our present tax system trace back to the corruption that occurred at that point 41 because: 42 1. Specific collection agents in the IRS are not put under a member of the House of Representatives and apportioned, as 43 all federal tax collections require in Article 1, Section 9, Clause 4 and Article 1, Section 2, Clause 3. This means that 44 they are not supervised by someone who we directly control in the House. 45 2. Congress has a convenient “whipping boy” they created to do the tax collection function. This whipping boy is 46 conveniently in another branch of government that they can claim they have no direct control over. This causes 47 endless finger-pointing and eliminates all accountability on either end of the Taxation or Representation equation. 48 3. Those in IRS cannot be held directly accountable because most are federal employees who are hard to fire and not 49 elected so they are not accountable to the people. 50
