Liberty Educaiton: Is Not For Lightweights


Baby, are you saying that this tax conversation is too complicated? Well honey, talking about politics is not for those that rather stay in the crib. When you're ready, there's a dirty martini, EXTRA dirty with the best, smooth vodka and the most beautiful olives waiting for you....

Webster Tarpley, of all the speakers at the Freedom Law School Conference seemed to hold the stage like no other. People were willing to let their catered hot gourmet lunch go cold while a man spoke about historical war strategies and governmental pretense toward the public.

"Have you listened to this man before?" the man next to me enthusiastically asked.

"Never." I confessed. Mind you, I'm the girl who's listening to Beethoven as I write this blog entry.

Whoever this Webster Tarpley is, I was engaged in his lecture.

"Be familiar with a law dictionary." ... was goood advice. The language of forms are very particular and they tend to lean toward legal dictionary definitions. Very common sense advice.

Mr. Tarpley
spoke of loving a good government was very different from fearing a bad one. And his spouting of information regarding taxes and specific codes and all the misleading one that constitute as a "tax confessional" rather than a voluntary process was DIZZYING to say the least.... but very VERY ENGAGING. I didn't have a reservation for the gourmet hot lunch. HECK, I wanted the man to speak beyond his allotted time as well and let the food freeze so that I can learn more about foreign policy and what the world (other countries) at large were saying about our country... (It's not so nice.)

I wrote down ooodles of notes that I won't decipher here. What I was left with after Mr. Tarpley's lecture was that he wasn't very confident of our government and wanted to share his wariness of current politics.

The powers that be are not boy scouts... and they make darth vadar look like a teddy bear.I'm sitting at the bar with the dirtiest martini... damn politics.

Question everything, think for yourself and be an educated citizen was what I gained from the conference...

Liberty Education: The EX IRS Agent Speaks


I took a slight departure from my charming little world to "expand" my horizons and attended the Freedom Law School Conference specifically to hear Mr. Joe Banister speak... I learned about him while watching Aaron Russo's documentary that investigates the history of the IRS, "From Freedom to Facism".

I was a bit taken back by Mr. Banister. He was very mild-mannered and had that sweet neighbor-next-door-with-the-nice-wife-and-2.5 kids look. He comes from a good family. His brothers are firemen and police officers. His dad was in the military as well as his granddads and Mr. Banister was the rebel that decided to become an accountant when he grew up.

The man has a fascinating story and you can learn more at his blog. While working as an investigator at the IRS he came across a speaker on a radio show that spoke about the "unconstutionality" of the income tax. Having listened and respected the radio show's host for a couple of years, the IRS man didn't tune the show off as rubbish but instead ordered the reading materials that the guest speaker offered.

Since he was an investigator, Mr. Banister thought he was doing his job in reading the materials so that he may refute the arguments after doing his research. But since his supervisor wasn't being helpful in answering his questions to validate the IRS' position, Mr. Banister found himself at a quandary. The IRS put him on administrative leave followed by his walking papers. Mr. Banister never got his answers as to what specific law Americans were following to pay income taxes and he never received an argument to contest the materials that he was reading on the unconstituationality of the income tax.

And so was born as WHISTLE BLOWER of the IRS.

What a sticky place for Mr. Banister. He shared stories of how shocked at how dirty the fight gets once someone challenges a system... like the IRS FALSIFYING evidence! Since there was no evidence to look at and his life was a bit upside-down for a bit, the IRS took a round of defeat. Mr. Banister is still fighting for the truth. The last thing you think while listening to him is that he's making it up.

I listened to a quite a few at the Freedom Law School Conference. My head is still spinning. What to make of this information? What to do? Even my reading on the internet has brought up some interesting theories that Mr. Banister is simply a plant working the in tax protestor movement in order to take it down. But in listening to him speak in person, I must say that he looks like a real "joe". The bottom line is he is a threat to a structure and system that is making billions out of the ignorance and fear of American citizens. Mr. Banister is unafraid to challenge the powers that be and use the law and his rights.

I returned home with a new education. Question everything, think for yourself and be an educated citizen was what I gained from the conference...

Liberty Education... I feel like a baby but I don't feel vulnerable in a state of ignorant bliss... I have quite a bit to share and I am still digesting the information. I'll be processing and writing about the speakers over the next week or so...

Liberty Education: A Power Hour A Day


The "master of ceremonies" or MC (emcee) of the Freedom Law School Conference was Dave vonKliest, a "conspiracy theorist" according to Glenn Beck of CNN. Have you watched that interview? If not, watch it below. The host, Glenn Beck is appalling and seems to cater to the Jerry Springer mentality of America... JUST WHAT WE NEED on CNN.

Dave vonKliest was a great host though I had never listened to his Power Hour show. He wasn't at all a "nutty theoriest with no common sense and too much time on his hands" as Glenn Beck degrades him in disrespectful glee.

This patriotic "nutty" emcee smoothly handled over a dozen guest speakers who he warmly and respectfully welcomed to the stage ranging from scientists, survivors from the Twin Towers and the Pentagon of September 11 (911), the filmmakers of documentary "Loose Change", college professors, journalists and formers agents of the IRS.

Dave vonKliest is not afraid to ask hard questions in pursuit of truth. Is that what our popular media represents to us? Are they pursuing scientists and military experts and being respectful and inquisitive listeners? Or are they jabbing at their guests with "witty" oneliners, trying to be laugh factories instead of truth seekers pandering to the interests of sponsors?

Does anyone really WATCH the news? After watching several clips of how the conference's guests are treated by the popular media, I was thoroughly disgusted by the popular media's "objectivity" in listening to a guest....

If you want a power hour a day to be in the know of what's going on in the world, consider if the news you follow fills like a "power hour" of knowledge or mindless tripe to entertain and numb...

Liberty Education: "America From Freedom to Facism"



I took a slight departure from my charming little world to "expand" my horizons and attended the Freedom Law School Conference...

A conference about taxes, politics, and international relations??? How absolutely nutty! After having friends fall by the wasteside opting to "GO TO WORK" and take on other activities, it was I left standing to drive to Irvine's Atrium Hotel for the conference...

I had a moment where I entertained NOT attending. Will I be surrounded by radical wackos from gun country boon valley? I was a bit afraid. I watched "America: From Freedom to Facism" a film by Aaron Russo and found my curiousity coals turned over as conversations with friends heated up over disbelief...

Instead, I was surrounded by many sorts of people, most of them over the age of 50. There were folks in suits, business people and business owners, professors, scientists, religious teachers, self-employed sorts, journalists and creative activists...like the filmmakers of "Loose Change" the movie on 911.

The conference was riveting and I returned home with a new education after listening to enlightening speakers. Question everything, think for yourself and be an educated citizen was what I gained from the conference...

"What? You mean income taxes are voluntary?" "What? You mean, I have rights that I am not exercising and the government is abusing?" "What? The IRS is doing what? The Federal Reserve is what?"

And then some...

A movie brought me to the first door of inquiry...



Director Aaron Russo tears down at the government issued illusion of "freedom" that he declares in his film has enslaved the American people. As a prolific man, his past successes include directing "Trading Places" (eddie murphy) and "The Rose" (bette midler). He's also managed Bette Midler as well as Manhattan Transfer.... and ran for governor in Nevada in the 90's.

His creative passion makes no apologies as he uncovers truths that America might find better comfort in ignorance... a world where IRS agents resign from their positions and advocate protesting against a fraudulent tax system, where officials trump on the Constitution and Supreme Court rulings in favor of using brute force as law, and congressman languish over powers-that-be in charge. Issues that beg the question and outrage of "what now?" from viewers.

This man has been getting standing ovations for his movie. What I'd like to know is is everyone beginning to wake up or just beginning to feel how numb they are....

Check out Aaron Russo's full feature documentary "From Freedom to Facism"
