What Is The IRS?


Let's Review

In the last three articles, we learned the following primary facts:

One:

Our present monetary system doesn't consist of honest money, but Federal Reserve Notes (IOUs) and bookkeeping entries (credit) created out of nothing.

Two:

This credit/debt system created perpetual debt with no mathematical solution.

Three:

This perpetual debt on us and our children represent what is known as "U.S. Obligations."

Four:

The Federal Reserve System is a private corporation and exists as a fiscal depository for the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Five:

The Secretary of the Treasury is Governor of the IMF. He works for, is paid by and has exclusive loyalty to the IMF and none to our nation.

The IMF Giveth and Taketh Away

The so-called "money" we have in order to buy and sell and pay our bills exists totally at the interest and will of the IMF. We have no control over how much or little is issued or whether it will be in existence tomorrow. We are at its mercy.

Just as they have the power to issue the "money," so they have provided the mechanism to extract it from us. That mechanism is called the Internal Revenue Service or IRS.

In this article, I will evidence who the IRS is, what role it plays and who it works for. It is probably not who you think it is!

Before I present the facts to you regarding the IRS and how it fits into the scheme of things, permit me to dispel three commonly held myths described below:

Delusions That Destroy

False: The IRS has constitutional authority to collect taxes from citizens on a graduated income tax scheme.

False: Taxes collected by the IRS go to help finance the government (salaries, expenses, etc.) and towards the maintenance of roads, bridges, etc.

False: The IRS only works in the United States.



What Is The IRS?

The IRS is not a public but private organization. This was revealed in the United States District Court, District of South Dakota, Western Division in the official transcript of the jury trial United States of America vs. Ziebarth (CR 90-50040), Vol. II, March 6, 1991. This was a tax case, in which at one point, the counsel for defendant, Ziebarth, raised a defense issue of whether there had been "entrapment" by an IRS agent. On pages 224 and 226 respectively, the Court ruled that that could not be a defense. This is what was said by the Court:

"... I don't see any possibility of entrapment because if Mr. Ziebarth was entrapped, why, it was done so by a non-governmental agent.

"... one cannot be entrapped by anyone except a governmental agent and private people cannot entrap other private people." (emphasis added)



Who Does The IRS Work for?

In the line of authority, the IRS exists under the Department of the Treasury, which is under the control and direction of the Secretary of the Treasury (as discussed in article 3). Also you might remember that the Secretary of the Treasury is really the Governor of the International Monetary Fund. So, the Internal Revenue Service is under the direction, control and authority of the Secretary of the Treasury. You will also notice, in the line of authority chart below, the proper placement of the Federal Reserve:

THE BANK – THE FUND – UNITED NATIONS
|
SECRETARY of the TREASURY as GOVERNOR
|
FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
|
DEPARTMENT of the TREASURY
|
INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE
|
U.S. GOVERNMENT AS "MEMBER" of THE FUND and THE BANK

The IRS collects "contributions" for the Federal Reserve Banks. Have you ever noticed what it says on the back of a cancelled check of income tax collected by the IRS? Look below:

"Pay Any F.R.B. Branch or Gen.
Depository for Credit U.S. Treas. This
in payment of U.S. Oblig. Must be
paid at Par N.P. Do Not Wire Non-
payment. 20-09-2800 Dir. I.R.S. Ctr.,
Philadelphia, PA."

Since the Federal Reserve is a fiscal depository for the IMF, the IRS really collects for the IMF to satisfy "U.S. Obligations" (see above) on the massive unpayable debt created from the fraudulent monetary, debt/credit system. And guess who the IRS collects these "U.S. Obligations" from. Yes, that's right. It is "We the People"

Do these "contributions" that the taxpayers give to the Federal Reserve and IMF via the IRS go to support our government? No. They go to help foster economic development of third-world countries. 22 USC 262c entitled "Commitments for United States contributions to international financial institutions fostering economic development in less developed countries ..." states:

"(a) It is the sense of the Congress that –

(1) for humanitarian, economic and political reasons, it is in the national interest of the United States to assist in fostering economic development in the less developed counties of this world;

(2) the development-oriented international financial institutions
[IMF, etc.] have proved themselves capable of playing a significant role in assisting economic development by providing to less developed countries access to capital and technical assistance ..."

What does this mean? It means that your tax dollars, collected by the IRS, go to certain international organizations (of which the IMF is one) to provide capital to loan out to other countries such as Mexico, China, and Russia. This is done in order to create an economically equitable distribution among all the countries of the world. This is called communism.

The ultimate objective of communism is to gain absolute control (i.e. totalitarian dictatorship) over the world by making all countries economically equal. In order to do this, wealthy and productive countries like America must be taken down to a third-world level to be equal with all the others. In order to do this, control must be taken of the USA's monetary system by creating the power to make the "money" (out of nothing) and then remove it through income taxation to give it to other countries in the form of loans. This is done through international organizations such as the IMF, Bank for Reconstruction and Development and a host of others. If other countries accept these credit loans, they must, of course, pay it back with interest (i.e. usury). As we have seen in our own nation, it is mathematically impossible to pay back this kind of loan under such a system. Hence, these countries also eventually default and are ruined.

So, when other countries default, guess who gets the bill? Well, not only does the defaulting country make certain concessions as to its "human and natural resources," but the good old USA taxpayers are also saddled with their debt burden. This is because unpublished agreements are made between our so-called government and international organizations like the IMF that make you and I responsible for another country's default. Remember, the United States is a 19.6% stockholder "member" of the IMF and the major stockholders of loaning organizations become liable for defaults.

The IRS Is An Agent Of A Foreign Principal

Back to the IRS. It follows that if the IRS collects taxes (i.e. "contributions") for international organizations like the IMF, it must act as an agent of that organization. The IMF is considered a "foreign principal" under 22 USC Section 611, Definitions (b)(2), which states that such an organization "is not ... organized under or created by the laws of the United States or of any State or other place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and has its principal place of business within the United States ..." The IMF, as we have seen in the last article, was created and organized under the United Nations. The IMF is a "foreign principal."

The IRS is, therefore, an "agent of a foreign principal" also as defined by 22 USC Section 611, Definitions (c) (1):

"(c) ... the term "agent of a foreign principal" means -

(1) any person who acts as an agent, representative, employee ... at the order, request, or under the direction of control, of a foreign principal ... whose activities are directly or indirectly supervised, directed or controlled ... by a foreign principal ... iii) within the United States solicits, collects, disburses, or dispenses contributions, loans, money, or other things of value for or in the interest of such foreign principal ..."

Read that again. Did you see the key words there? Does the IRS "collect ... contributions" for the IMF? Yes, it does. The IRS is an "agent of a foreign principal."

By law, everyone who acts as an "agent of a foreign principal" must file a "registration statement" with the Attorney General (22 USC, Section 612). Write and ask your friendly IRS agent if he or she has filed a "registration statement." If not, ask him or her why not.

Is A 501 (c)(3) "Church"
An Agent Of A Foreign Principal?

Just as the IRS is governed by the Internal Revenue Code (or Title 26 United States Code) and the Code of Federal Regulations (Title 26 CFR), so is the church who applies for a 501(c)(3) incorporated "religious organization" status. Both are under the authority and direction of the Secretary of the Treasury who, again, is really the Governor of the IMF. It follows, then, that if the IRS is an "agent of a foreign principal" (i.e. the IMF), so is the church who volunteers to become a "religious Organization" under the jurisdiction of the IRS.

Many churches have gone this route because of advice given by attorneys or Certified Public Accountants. They are taught that it is in the church's best interest to become "tax exempt" and gain the privilege of limited liability like other corporations. However, a church is not required to apply for a tax exempt status and is really considered tax immune. IRS Form 1023 called "Application for Recognition of Exemption," page 13 states:

"a church ... is not required to file form 1023 to be exempt from Federal income tax or to receive tax-deductible contributions ..."

There are some facts that every church should know if it has applied for, or plans to apply for, a 501(c)(3) status. First, the federal government considers such a status a "subsidy." A subsidy is like a benefit that the federal government gives to a church or school, for example, that incorporates. For the church, this subsidy is "tax exemption" and limited liability. The rule is that if one takes a benefit, it owes a duty. The questions then, is what is the duty that the 501(c)(3) church (i.e. "religious organization") owes the federal government, or as we have learned, the IRS and its foreign principal, the IMF?

A "religious organization" cannot participate or "intervene in political campaigns." (IRS Tax Guide For Churches and Other Religious Organizations, Draft July 26, 1994, p. 2).

This means that it is:

"prohibited from participating in, or intervening in (including political campaign on behalf of or in opposition to) any candidate for public office." (Ibid., p. 9)

Under the subsection, "What Constitutes Prohibited Activity?", "prohibited political activity" is subjectively determined by the IRS depending "on all the facts and circumstances."

Implied legal activities include "non-partisan" voter education activities only. Violations of legal activities include "contributions to political campaign funds, public statement of position (verbal and written) in favor of or in opposition to candidates for office, or provision of a forum for expression of candidates' views on a partisan basis ..." In other words, a "religious organization" (alias "church") is prohibited from taking sides on political issues of the day. Political issues are often important moral issues including abortion, homosexual agenda, pornography and gambling, among others.

The "religious organization" is effectively barred or severely restricted from any intervention in political activities and thus is shut out from any meaningfully effective participation in the life of the community and nation.

Furthermore, the "religious organization" cannot use a "substantial part of its activity ... [in] the carrying on of propaganda or otherwise attempting to influence legislation ..." (Ibid., p. 2). This also is a "subjective" test (Ibid., p. 8). determined by the IRS based on "time devoted by the organization to the activity ... assets devoted to the activity ... as well as expenditures" (Ibid., p. 8). This subjective test has the object of "issues of public policy" that results "in attempts to influence legislation" (Ibid., p. 8). Again, these "issues of public policy" are often moral in nature and these restrictions grievously neuter the once-powerful influence of the holy church of Jesus Christ in the crucial affairs of our communities.

The 501(c)(3) "church" is under the legal authority of the IRS and the IMF. The "church" is the servant and the IRS and IMF is the master. As long as the "church" obeys its master and does not get too involved or too controversial or say or do anything against "public policy," it will be left alone. God's Word, however, reminds us of another Master-servant relationship in regard to His church. Jesus Christ has been appointed "as head over all things to the church" (Ephesians 1:22). How do you think God feels about the foreign alliances that "churches" have made? ( See Isaiah 30:1).


"... the corporation is a creature of the State. It is presumed to be incorporated for the benefit of the public. It receives certain special privileges and franchises, and holds them subject to the laws of the State and the limitation of its charter. Its powers are limited by law ... Its rights to act as a corporation are only preserved to it so long as it obeys the laws of its creation."Hale v. Hinkle, 201 U.S. at p. 76
