American Imperialism & Interventionism
| TOP |
Imperialism is the pursuit of power and prestige abroad, by
means of wealth plundered from subjects at home—a practice
of the U.S. government for well over a century now.

‘Bipartisan’ Statist Fleecing of America
| TOP |
The “Two-Party System” in the U.S. has become one of the most
subtle—yet effective—instruments of plunder in modern history,
wherein the public is kept polarized over a contrived “left-right”
political dichotomy, while the federal government ignores the
Constitution and confiscates their property.

‘Conservative’ Republican Myth

FDR & ‘New Deal’ Myths
| TOP |
The federal government, not free enterprise, caused the 1929
stock-market crash and the Great Depression. FDR only prolonged the subsequent misery. His
programs—heavily popularized by statists and socialists (both then and now)—foisted on a naïve American public the false security of tax-and-spend big government.

IRS — The Federal Tax Fraud
| TOP |
The word “income” in the 16th Amendment did not refer to wages and salaries, and the Supreme Court has affirmed it to grant no new taxing authority to Congress, and therefore especially no authority to tax wages and salaries. In doing so anyway, the IRS engages in intimidation and obfuscation to perpetuate a government fraud of the highest order.
