Subject: SNET: SLS: Dismantling the IRS: a formula for success
-> SearchNet's SNETNEWS Mailing List
Dear America,
Here is a formula for success.
How can we apply these techniques
to dismantling the IRS extortion
racket?
Many thanks to Clifford A. Schaffer
for these important insights.
I am all ears.

> The original elements of the strategy can be found in the Persuasive
>Strategies and related materials, and the Hoover Resolution under
>http://www.druglibrary.org/schaffer -- Information for Activists.
>
> The strategy is based upon the simple realization that the drug war is
>founded upon ignorance and requires ignorance to survive. The information
>age will ultimately kill the drug war.
> The strategy, at this point is straightforward;
>
> 1) build the online libraries as a resource to all those who would
>help us throughout the world -- and as the "stopper" where all the
>arguments are settled.
>
> 2) hammer the media
>
> The MAP program is of limited use without the available resources to
>back it up. MAP only exists because we had previously created the
>resources that people would come to as an organizing point. That includes:
>
>1) the rhetoric to make the arguments in the terms that non-believers can
>understand (Persuasive Strategies), and that will allow your supporters to
>win the argument when it comes up.
>
>2) a statement of position that can be the focus for broad-spectrum
>support (The Hoover Resolution),
>
> Note: These first two items were important because they were what
>allowed us to achieve a complete dominance of the debate forums in the
>online world -- years before MAP came along.
>
>3) an online organization for activism (DRCNet),
>
>4) online resources so all your supporters everywhere can know the facts
>and make the best arguments, (http://www.druglibrary.org) and finally, --
>
>5) A media awareness project to bring those resources to the attention of
>the media.
>
>The MAP project you are looking at is really the tail end of several years
>of work that came before it -- laid out by yours truly.
>
>I would also point out that, while MAP gets a lot of letters to the editor
>published, the real grunt work of changing minds is done by downloads from
>the online library. A letter to the editor is really just an attention
>getter and they are so short that it is difficult to make a conclusive
>argument either way. To really seal the issue, you have to lead someone
>into the online library where the arguments are made completely and
>coherently. Most people can brush off a letter to the editor. The online
>library is the real killer. The online library, at last estimate, serves
>up at least half a million documents per month from my web site alone, and
>much of that is copied and distributed to others off the net in great
>quantities. I get logins from more than 1,000 colleges per month, for
>example.
>
>As far as what it would take to get me to do it for another project? Lots.
> I make an hourly consulting rate of 75 an hour as a computer consultant,
>and I can sell every hour I have at that rate. But I am always open to
>offers.

>> You guys in MAP are doing such a superb

>> WOD, it occurs to me that the rest of us
>> in the freedom movement could do no better
>> than to imitate your techniques, in order
>> to abolish the IRS, permanently.
>>
>> I do mean that as a high-level compliment,
>> if not THE highest!
>>
>> One theme I wish to repeat, until it sinks
>> in, is the Grace Commission finding that
>> federal income taxes do not pay for ANY
>> government services. The obvious conclusion,
>> then, is to abolish the federal income tax,
>> and do nothing else, whereupon the American
>> economy will resurge into a renaissance, and
>> Congress will thereby experience a windfall
>> in excise taxes from the increased economic
>> activity.
>>
>> Another theme is the recent research which
>> shows that the IRS is a three-tiered trust,
>> domiciled in Puerto Rico under the Federal
>> Alcohol Administration, which was declared
>> unconstitutional in 1935. "IRS" is not listed
>> in Title 31, United States Code, the laws
>> which create the U.S. Treasury Department.
>>
>> So, here's the big question: what would it
>> take to retain you, and others with talent(s)
>> similar to yours, to educate the rest of
>> us about the productive and obviously
>> successful techniques you are utilizing
>> in the Media Awareness Project ("MAP")?
>>
>> I am all ears, and eagerly await your
>> careful and considerate response.
>>
>> I am taking the liberty of sharing this
>> request far and wide, because I believe that
>> you richly deserve the recognition, and I
>> also believe that our paths will be crossing
>> down the road apiece, because Trust #62 grew
>> out of the China Trade Act, which was enacted
>> to deal with opium, cocaine, and citric wines
>> shipping out of China. This Act was administered
>> in the Philippines by the "Bureau of Internal
>> Revenue," the predecessor to the "IRS".

>> I am standing by. If we don't hear from you
