Former IRS Special Agent Sounds Alarm Regarding Last Chance To Stop The TPP
Dear Friends,
Like most of my
friends, associates and supporters, I am skeptical that writing to our
representatives does much good. But
occasionally I believe it can make a difference. The volume of destructive legislation is
really overwhelming and it is hard to determine where to focus one’s efforts.
Nevertheless, I
believe this “TPP” “Fast-Track” treaty arrangement is the worst of the
worst. The Congress has sold us down the
river over and over again and don’t even get me started when it comes to U.S.
Presidents. But this “TPP” is the
boondoggle of all boondoggles. Can you
imagine the audacity to formulate a treaty that will soon seek the approval of
Congress but the only way Congress can review the treaty is to read it in a
secret room after having promised not to disclose the contents to anyone and
after being prohibited from bringing in a pen or even a piece of note paper?
We are fortunate to
have organizations like the Electronic Frontier Foundation, who informs the American people
about the dangers to our rights and privacy, dangers often proposed and
implemented by the very people we send to Washington, D.C.
Here is just one
paragraph from the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s analysis of the horror story
known as “TPP”:
TPP raises
significant concerns about citizens’ freedom of expression, due process,
innovation, the future of the Internet’s global infrastructure, and the right
of sovereign nations to develop policies and laws that best meet their domestic
priorities. In sum, the TPP puts at risk some of the most fundamental rights
that enable access to knowledge for the world’s citizens.
And then take
action by calling, faxing or emailing a letter to your U.S. Senator telling
them to vote against the TPP or any legislation that even remotely supports or
advances the TPP. Or go to this link to
electronically and rapidly voice your opposition:
Thank you for
reading and considering this request.
Don’t forget that I have a “Twitter” account for those who prefer that
particular method of communicating. My
twitter account concentrating primarily on current events and government
corruption, tax matters and attacks on our Constitution and Bill of Rights is
@josephbanister. My twitter account
concentrating primarily on spiritual matters and miscellaneous topics is

-I will continue to send a free Attorney Larry Becraft Research CD to any donor who donates at least $20 to me for my radio show effort - just make sure you mention that you want the CD gift. Don't forget that Attorney Becraft (and some unsung heroes) created an incredible researching tool all in one CD-ROM. He has compiled the most comprehensive, easy to access history of the federal income tax laws I have ever laid my eyes on. The CD-ROM includes more recent information such as a report from a 1975 investigation of the IRS, Title 26 of the Code of Federal Regulations from 1999, the entire Internal Revenue Code from January, 2002, Statutes At Large 111 through 121 (105th Congress through 110th Congress - roughly 1997 through 2007) and earlier information such as the Revenue Acts of 1919, 1921, 1924, 1926, 1928, 1932, 1934, 1936, 1938, tax regulations from some of the aforementioned years, a mind-blowing 31 page "secret" memorandum written in 1945 later declassified regarding the history of the "Bureau of Internal Revenue" (which is the earlier name of the agency we know today as the "IRS"), the entire 1939 Internal Revenue Code, the entire 1954 Internal Revenue Code (prepared by the Joint Committee on Taxation in 1992). Many of these documents were created in word-searchable format so you can search for any specific word you can think of. It would take hundreds of hours to create such a resource from scratch and Larry's hard work has saved us from doing so. As Larry told my listeners the last time he was on the show, it is critical for Americans to learn more about what the tax laws actually say - what the tax laws said in 1913 when the contemporary income tax came into being and what the tax laws have said ever since then, all the way up to the present day. Donations by check or money order are gratefully accepted and can be made payable to "Joseph Banister" and mailed to me at 1805 N. Carson Street, Suite C, Carson City, Nevada 89701. Keep in mind that money orders (with an anonymous payor) or cash may provide a greater degree of privacy to the donor than checks. Also, consider using 1805 N. Carson Street, Suite C, Carson City, Nevada 89701 as the return address on your envelope rather than your own address because any information on the outside of a mailed envelope is susceptible to observation/transcription by government agencies. See http://www.answers.com/topic/mail-cover for more information. Use your own discretion based on the degree of privacy you desire. Attorney Becraft appeared on the Freedom Above Fortune Radio Show on September 18, 2010 and March 22, 2014 and May 3, 2014 and spent significant time on these shows discussing and explaining the contents of the CD - an archive of this show is saved at http://hearliberty.com/joebanister.html on the left hand side of the page under the Saturday, September 18, 2010, March 22, 2014 and May 3, 2014 headings.
-Listen to the Agent For Truth Show Saturday mornings beginning September 21st, 2013, mornings from 10:00 am to 11:00 am pacific time broadcasted on the Truth Frequency Radio Network. Visit http://hearliberty.com/joebanister.html for show archives.
-Check out the "Joe Banister Channel" on "Youtube" at http://www.youtube.com/user/JoeBanisterChannel or go to http://twitter.com/ and type in either "josephbanister" into the "Search" box or “joebanister” and then click on the word "Search" to the right of the "Search" box to find my "Twitter" page. Keep in mind that my "@josephbanister" twitter account concentrates primarily on current events and government corruption, tax matters and attacks on our Constitution and Bill of Rights whereas my “@joebanister” twitter account concentrates primarily on spiritual matters and miscellaneous topics.
-For those who are unfamiliar with what has transpired to date in my battle against the IRS and other agencies and groups trying to silence my message, especially the recent acquittal on all charges leveled against me, please visit http://www.ninehundred.net/banister , http://www.joebanister.blogspot.com/ and http://freedomabovefortune.com/ (click on "IRS Lockout Update"). You can also find archives of informative radio shows at http://hearliberty.com/joebanister.html .
-Prayers in support of this effort are always welcomed and encouraged. May we all focus on giving glory to God and obeying His Commandments, especially the Commandment not to take His Name in vain. One “pet project” I have is to encourage film and television producers, directors, writers, actors and actresses to refrain from using God’s or Jesus’ Name in vain in their films and shows. I will use my “@joebanister” twitter account and the hashtag #LordsNameInVainWatch to ask for your help in making public requests to film and television personalities to stop using the Lord’s Name in vain while pursuing their profession. Let’s work together and speak up in defense of God’s Holy Name and let us shower God with our devotion so that He will more abundantly shower our nation with blessings.
-Contributions to my legal defense fund are also welcomed due to the significant costs of defending against multiple and continuing government attacks. I also spend a significant amount of my personal time fighting this battle and speaking out. Your contributions help me keep the fight alive. Checks or money orders are gratefully accepted and can be made payable to "Joseph Banister" to assist me with legal expenses and can be mailed to 1805 N. Carson Street, Carson City, Nevada 89701. Money orders or cash may provide a greater degree of privacy to the donor than checks so use your own discretion based on the degree of privacy you desire.
-Visit http://www.ninehundred.net/banister for more information as to how you can obtain information about my recent trial and contribute to my legal defense fund at the same time as well as a biography with exhibits (scroll down the page).
-My sincere thanks to those who have
prayed for the success of our efforts and/or contributed to my legal defense
fund. Your continued support is enabling me to illustrate, in detail and in a
very public manner, that the IRS does not prevail against citizens because the
agency adheres to the rule of law, but that the IRS prevails against citizens
because the agency ignores the law, twists the meaning of the law, and
overwhelms the citizen with economic and legal burdens. In a school yard, such
tactics are called "Bullying". In a government setting, such tactics
are called "Tyranny". This effort is the equivalent of ganging up on
the bully and sending him to reform school where he belongs.

II Chronicles 7:14:
And my people, upon whom my name is
called, being converted, shall make supplication to me, and seek out my face,
and do penance for their most wicked ways: then will I hear from heaven, and
will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
Exodus 20:7:
Thou shalt not take the name of the
Lord thy God in vain: for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that shall take
the name of the Lord his God in vain.
Matthew 5:27-28:
You have heard that it was said to
them of old: "Thou shalt not commit adultery". But I say to you
that whosoever shall look on a woman to lust after her hath already committed
adultery with her in his heart.
John 6:51-52:
I am the living bread which came
down from heaven. If any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever;
and the bread that I will give, is my flesh, for the life of the world.
George Orwell, 1984:
"You are a slow learner,
Winston," said O'Brien gently.
"How can I help it?" he
blubbered. "How can I help seeing what is in front of my eyes? Two and two
are four."
"Sometimes, Winston. Sometimes
they are five. Sometimes they are three.
Sometimes they are all of them at
once. You must try harder. It is not easy to become sane."
