Income Tax: The Law That Never Was

America the Battlefield
by Timothy A. Pope
April 17, 2025


Watch on Rumble: https://rumble.com/v6s8ew9-income-tax-the-law-that-never-was.html

On today's episode of America the Battlefield, I explain all the ways in which the American people got tricked into paying taxes on their wages through subterfuge.

The Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States was never lawfully ratified by a majority of the states. The word "income" is the sole anchor which this so-called law hangs upon. Wages, according to the courts and the Internal Revenue Code itself, are not income. Over the course of many court cases after the 16th Amendment was introduced, the Internal Revenue Service tried to stretch the meaning of the word income.

Take a deep dive with me into U.S. Supreme Court rulings, United States Court of Appeals decisions, Voluntary Withholding Agreements, Unconstitutional Official Acts, Direct Taxes, Apportionment, testimonies of the Tax Division of Internal Revenue, the proof of fraud that the IRS is a private foreign trust and a for-profit corporation that falls under the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and numerous statements by IRS officials verifying that paying income tax is 100% voluntary and requires the voluntary compliance of taxpayers.

I'll also show you the fear-based propaganda that manipulates the public into filing and paying their taxes, and we will analyze the movement by the Trump administration to abolish the 16th Amendment, eliminate the IRS, and turn it into the External Revenue Service to collect tariffs on imports.

Tireside Chat Vol. 6: What is Your Highest Level of Training in a Stress Scenario?

America the Battlefield
by Timothy A. Pope
April 10, 2025


In today’s Tireside Chat, I ask a targeted question: “What is the highest level of training you have achieved in a stress scenario?”

Former Marine Reconnaissance rifleman, door gunner, tier one operator, and co-founder of Magpul Dynamics, Travis Haley, advises his students that during a stress scenario or disruptive environment, you will ALWAYS default to the highest level of training you have achieved.

Are you and your Mutual Assistance Group (MAG) training in static or dynamic environments? Are you training outside of your comfort zone, pushing yourselves, and forcing yourselves into stress scenarios and disruptive environments? Are you going through those motions, building new neural pathways and muscle memory?

If not, please consider taking your training to the next level. Be hard on yourself, because the world will treat you even harder. You will be better equipped in mind and body to handle scenarios that you may not have considered, or that are decidedly challenging, to say the very least.

The Tariff Two-Step: A Dialogue on Roads, Revenue, and Reckless Spending in Oregon

America the Battlefield

by Timothy A. Pope
April 8, 2025



In today's episode of America the Battlefield, Tim sits down with Ben Roche over coffee, the former Chair of the Linn County Republican Party, stepping through the back-and-forth dance of state policy missteps and budget band-aids. One starts with a jab: "You see ODOT wants more taxes again? Gas, mileage, tolls—you name it.” The other counters, “And yet, they can’t keep the roads paved. Where's all that money going?”

They “two-step” through topics: the Oregon Transportation Package in 2017 which promised smoother roads but now shows signs of crumbling promises. They challenge vehicle fees and how gas taxes hurt the working-class, and discuss the tolling schemes that feel more like revenue traps than traffic solutions.

As Tim and Ben waltz into the deeper details, they dig into the Oregon Department of Transportation’s financial mismanagement—like the BILLIONS in debt and nearly $30 billion in upcoming project costs. 

“It’s like they’ve choreographed a budget ballet where the taxpayers always foot the bill for the encore.”

By the end of their chat, the theme is clear: Oregon’s transportation policy has become a careful dance of shifting costs and dodging accountability—a real Tariff Two-Step where they try to pass the buck to Trump, while Oregon Governor Tina Kotek and the ODOT keeps changing the rhythm, and the public keeps getting stepped-on.

Tireside Chat Vol. 5: Who is in your Mutual Assistance Group (MAG)?

America the Battlefield

by Timothy A. Pope
April 5, 2025



In today’s Tireside Chat, I address the importance of forming and growing your Mutual Assistance Group (MAG) by cultivating relationships with your neighbors and people in your local community, getting to KNOW them, learning about their skill sets, resources, knowledge, experience, what they bring to the table, training with them, and addressing shared needs or challenges.

More importantly, will they be there when you NEED them? Can you depend on them to be an asset in your MAG, and not a liability?

Some important reasons to cultivate a MAG:

- Community-based organization
- Establish a communication plan during power, internet, or cell phone outages
- Securing life and property from gang or mob riots or other violent or destructive activity
- Preparing for emergencies or adverse weather events
- Emergency/non-emergency activation
- Search and rescue after natural disasters
- Readiness drills and training
- Team building opportunities
- Benefits of bartering and trade
- Food, water and first-aid prepping
- Boosting morale and community culture/involvement
- Operational Security (OPSEC) requirements

What are your thoughts on this subject? Please share your views, insight, tips, and experiences regarding your MAG in the comments. And, if you enjoy my work, please like, share, and subscribe to my channels. Your help in this endeavor is greatly appreciated!

Tireside Chat Vol. 4: Ad Hominem Attacks from People who don’t Deal in Reality

America the Battlefield

by Timothy A. Pope
March 31, 2025


Watch in Rumble: https://rumble.com/v6relw0-tireside-chat-vol.-4-ad-hominem-attacks-from-people-who-dont-deal-in-realit.html

In today’s Tireside Chat, I address the use of logical fallacies during debates over hotly contested topics, especially ad hominem character attacks.

Ad hominem is from the Latin “against the man,” and is often employed as an emotional reaction by a person or group who has lost a debate and therefore must attempt to discredit the character of the messenger instead of dealing directly with the content of their message itself.

This phenomenon has increased exponentially since the rise of the Trump effect throughout western culture and his administration’s policies against wokeness.

Have you experienced this recently? Please tell us about it in the comments, and how you personally combat it.

The Science Behind Conspiracy Theorists. University Study Shows we are the Sane Ones.

America the Battlefield

by Timothy A. Pope
March 31, 2025

Watch in Rumble: https://rumble.com/v6re1t2-the-science-behind-conspiracy-theorists.-university-study-shows-we-are-the-.html

The term “conspiracy theorist” was invented and made popular intentionally by the Central Intelligence Agency in an effort to attack and discredit those who questioned the official narrative surrounding the assassination of John F. Kennedy, in relation to not only scientific evidence and eyewitness testimonies which contradicted the official government narrative, but also average American citizens who were critical thinkers and simply didn’t believe the Warren Commission or what the mainstream media was reporting to them.

Kevin Barrett of Press TV remarked the following:

”People who use the terms ‘conspiracy theory’ and ‘conspiracy theorist’ as an insult are doing so as the result of a well-documented, undisputed, historically real conspiracy by the CIA to cover-up the JFK assassination. That campaign, by the way, was completely illegal, and the CIA officers involved were criminals; the CIA is barred from all domestic activities, yet routinely breaks the law to conduct domestic operations ranging from propaganda to assassinations."

Barrett also concluded that the abstract study conducted at the University of Kent, in the United Kingdom, found:

“In short, the new study by Wood and Douglas suggests that the negative stereotype of the conspiracy theorist – a hostile fanatic wedded to the truth of his own fringe theory – accurately describes the people who defend the official account of 9/11, not those who dispute it.”

ARE CONSPIRACY THEORISTS REALLY THE SANE ONES?
University study shows they are more well-grounded than others
World Net Daily
Article by Gina Loudon
October 5, 2013
https://www.wnd.com/2013/10/are-conspiracy-theorists-really-the-sane-ones

In 2009, John Farmer, Jr., Senior Counsel to the 9/11 Commission, wrote in page 2 of his book, 'The Ground Truth: The Story Behind American’s Defense on 9/11':

"In the course of our investigation into the national response to the attacks, the 9/11 Commission staff discovered that the official version of what had occurred that morning—that is, what government and military officials had told Congress, the Commission, the media, and the public about who knew what when—was almost entirely, and inexplicably, untrue."

Farmer continued:

“At some level of the government, at some point in time . . . there was an agreement not to tell the truth about what happened.”

John Farmer flat out told his readers that the 9/11 Commission didn't lie to us directly; they simply presented the general public with lies that the government and military officials told the commission to tell.

Before 9/11, and before the assassination of John F. Kennedy, it was okay to question authority. After those events, it was is considered "unpatriotic."

"You know, the Government has a very tremendous propensity for secrecy, and the Defense Department and others do as well. Its always about protection of the Institution at the end." — Janice Kephart, 9/11 Commission Counsel

Conspiracy theories always sound crazy until you start investigating them.

"The World Mourns" Nov. 1963 Universal Newsreel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMaDL1pWIis

Balfour Declaration
In this episode we review the Balfour Declaration, a public statement issued by the British Government in 1917 during the First World War announcing its support for the establishment of a "national home for the Jewish people" in Palestine, then an Ottoman region with a small minority Jewish population. The declaration was contained in a letter dated November 2nd, 1917, from the United Kingdom's Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour to Lord Rothschild, a leader of the British Jewish community, for transmission to the Zionist Federation of Great Britain. The text of the declaration was published in the press on November 9th, 1917.

Why is this important in the context of the JFK Files? Because the political state of Israel was founded 8 months after the OSS via the Balfour Declaration, which was planned and created entirely by international Zionists in the British government in London and in New York.

I understand the differences between Zionists and the average Jewish citizen. Their goals are not the same, as outlined by Theodore Herzl and other framers of Zionist ideology.



An uninformed man in the comments section of a social media group on this topic commented to the other group members a warning, to “Watch out for this guy, He’s a raging anti-semite, and actually BELIEVES in the Protocols of the Elders of Zion!” All because I merely read from a very old copy of the manuscript in a prior podcast. And then, he made me unable to respond to his comment, like most people of that mindset who are intolerant and supportive of the censorship and silencing of their opposition.

My long-time readers and viewers know that I read pretty much everything, listen to everyone, quote from people I agree with and disagree with, and I never believe any of it unless I can verify it in my own research, or prove that their words became action.
, some of the best advice I ever received, which forever changed the way I process information. I wish everyone could adopt this precept.

The OSS, who and what were they? The Office of Strategic Services, the progenitor of the CIA, was founded Entirely by the Knights Templar. 33rd Degree Mason, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, appointed General William J. Donovan, a highly decorated World War I officer and a Templar Knight, as the Director of the OSS. Co-founders, Allen Dulles, William Casey, William Colby, and James Jesus Angleton, were also ALL members of the Templar order.

In the next episode we will show how the Q operation was formed as a long-term covert military counterinsurgency operation immediately following the assassination of President Kennedy, and how Donald Trump was recruited 60 years later to be the public face of it. Please stay tuned for that!



In this episode, we also do a short recap of William Greer, the driver of Kennedy’s limousine, whom we touched upon in our previous episode.

Included is a photo of the bloody limousine, one of the only pictures of this before the evidence was destroyed and the windshield of the limo went missing, evidence which would have proven multiple shooters to the Warren Commission.

President Kennedy's protective bubble-top
Here is an Instagram page showing President Kennedy's protective bubble-top that was used during almost every appearance in his limo, except on November 22, 1963 in Dealey Plaza: https://www.instagram.com/starworldlab/p/C9bEXR-O3JO/?img_index=1

From my blog on this topic: ‘Who Really Had Kennedy Killed? Follow the Money…’ published on November 13, 2013: https://americathebattlefield.blogspot.com/2013/11/who-really-had-kennedy-killed-follow-the-money.html

"WHO was responsible for the removal of JFK's protective bubble top that day? Here's what we know today:

Bill Moyers, who is a current liberal media talking head and former ordained minister, was an aide to Vice President Johnson in 1963. The Secret Service reported that Bill Moyers went to them before the Dallas motorcade and told them, "The president wants this damned bubble top removed now!" Funny talk for an ordained minister, but Kennedy aides Jerry Bruno and Kenny O'Donnell later testified to the Warren Commission that President John Kennedy gave NO such order regarding the removal of the protective bubble-top.

We know who DID NOT give that order, but whomever DID give that order was he (or THEY) who had the means, the motive and the manpower to kill the president; he (or THEY) who benefitted and stood to gain from the outcome.
"

William Greer continued his Secret Service career until retiring in 1966, and passed away on February 19, 1985, in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Next in this episode, we show WHO benefitted from Kennedy’s death, and WHY they killed him, since the WHY is rarely covered.

WHY was JFK killed?

Oliver Stone answered Agent X's question asking who killed Kennedy, in symbolism
At the end of Oliver Stone’s 1991 film ‘JFK’, New Orleans District attorney Jim Garrison, acted by Kevin Costner, who was investigating the assassination of John F. Kennedy, asked CIA Agent X a question while sitting on a park bench on the National Mall, and Oliver Stone answered it in symbolism.

Watch video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSw9sjqYK_I

Jim Garrison asked:

“I never realized Kennedy was so dangerous to the Establishment. Is that why?”

Agent X answered him, saying:

“Well, that's the real question, isn't it? Why? The 'How' and the 'Who' is just scenery for the public. Oswald, Ruby, Cuba, the Mafia, keeps 'em guessing like some kind of parlor game. Prevents 'em from asking the most important question: Why? Why was Kennedy killed? Who benefited? Who has the power to cover it up? Who?...”

Who, indeed? Director Oliver Stone answered Agent X’s question in symbolism, showing the Obelisk, the Generative force of Freemasonry, over his shoulder, with the Capitol dome, the Womb of Isis, in the distance.



That context was omitted from this copy of the video, but here is the unedited copy by William Cooper from his Mystery Babylon series, at the (1:06:56) mark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AP__8klIsNw&rco=1

The revelation of the method? Truth in movies? Lies in the news?

It is the Penis of Osiris, the phallus, the lost Word, the Light, the Intellect, Lucifer, the generative force of Freemasonry, from their own writings.

Recall Kennedy’s ‘President and the Press’ speech warning about “secret societies, secret proceedings, and secret oaths,” and “secrecy being repugnant in a free and open society.”

We close this particular episode of the REAL JFK Files Beyond Redacted with William Cooper’s commentary at the (28:39) mark, ending at (32:07): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AP__8klIsNw&rco=1

Music: "The Early Days, Massapequa, 1957", by John Williams, from the film ‘Born On The Fourth Of July’

"And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him. And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper? And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand." – Genesis 4:8-11
