While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are in Afghanistan and the Philippines defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Charles O. Rossotti, Commissioner of Internal Revenue, issues Internal Revenue Service News Release 2002-08, urging United States enemy-citizens of African heritage not to make claims for “slavery reparations.” Tax scam artists have been promoting an illegal deduction of 43 thousand “dollars” to the unlawful income tax, which is based on the contemporary value of “forty acres and a mule,” a Reconstruction-era reparation proposal that was successfully vetoed by War Democrat (constitutionalist) de facto President Andrew Johnson (of the Confederate State of Tennessee).

       Postscript: Two and a half months later Rossotti admitted to CONgress that the IRS had paid out over 30 million “dollars,” for such bogus claims, in just that year.

       Questions:

• Where in the lawfully amended Constitution for the united States, does Rossotti claim his legitimate authority to collect income taxes?
• Who is the greater scam artist, one who violates the Law, or one who “acts under color of law?”

       The supreme court of the republic of california hands down people v. Hinger, authorizing statute enforcement agents (acting under color of law) to conduct a warrantless search of a traveler’s automobile, if that person fails to provide a state issued (and owned) “driver’s license”, and a “vehicle” registration (proof of state co-ownership).

       In a dissenting opinion, Joyce Kennard, associate justice, requests that her brethren consider the times before issuing such a draconian decision: “As this opinion is being written, our nation is undergoing a painful recovery from the devastating physical and psychological effects of that day [9-1-1 (9/11/2001)]. … [This] does nothing to enhance our security and does much to erode our 4th Amendment rights. [california constitution of 1879, article I, section 13]”

       NOTES:

• Although the editors have found the linked web page “The Roadway Report” to be on the mark (if somewhat emotional) as far as identifying the unlawful practices that states use to deceive their residents into signing away their rights, the editors advise against applying for an “International Driver License.” Many, who have purchased IDLs have found themselves in jail for trying to assert their freedoms.  The best course of action is to inform others of the two great frauds mentioned on this date (the income tax and the driver’s license).  When a critical mass of concerned citizens is accumulated, these unlawful statutes can be changed through collective action, which will not place individuals acting alone in jeopardy.
• “Driver” is a legal term for a “traveler” carrying goods or services in commercial transit.
• “Vehicle” is a legal term for an “automobile or truck” bearing goods, services or persons in commercial transit.
