• The Surprising History of the Income Tax, 20th Century

His book, Judicial Tyranny and Your Income Tax, the definitive treatise on the subject, provides: analysis of federal income tax legislation; analysis of the Pollock and Brushaber landmark decisions establishing the true purpose of the Sixteenth Amendment and the power it gave to Congress; analysis of the Internal Revenue Code with explanation of income; and case by case analyses of all federal cases that held that wages constitute income. It includes partial transcripts of his brilliant cross-examinations of IRS agents -- with their shocking admissions -- which alone are worth the price of the book. The introduction, here reprinted (slightly condensed) with permission, lays the foundation of the purpose of government and clarifies all the muddy waters about taxes.
  
  
• Forfeiture Law:
  Your Possessions at Risk, 20th Century

• The Dangers of Legal Tender, 20th Century
  One of the first steps in stealing the wealth of the people is to require them to accept any one form of money (legal tender laws). The whole idea is repugnant to America’s heritage and is brilliantly expounded in Saussy’s Preface to Bancroft’s A Plea For the Constitution, valiant effort to warn the nation of this deception.
  
  
• Introduction to A Plea For the Constitution, 19th Century
  George Bancroft reprimands the Supreme Court. This monumental work, the “last great memorandum of law,” was published by Harpers in 1886 — five years before his death at the age of 91. This essay from the nineteenth century reveals that even then there was cause for alarm. If the publisher had not sat on the manuscript we all might have been spared much grief.

• The Sappers and Miners:
  Jefferson on the Judiciary, 18th Century

• Rules for Changing A Republic into a Monarchy, 18th Century
  Under the aggressive leadership of Alexander Hamilton, the first Secretary of the Treasury, economic measures were taken that favored the few.

His opponents, led by Jefferson and Madison, established a rival newspaper, the "National Gazette," to present opposing views. Philip Freneau, editor, wrote an astonishingly prophetic satire, the most appropos excerpts of which are here reprinted.
  
  
• Cradle of Unreason, 20th Century

  Killers of Children by Psychiatrist Melvin Anchell,
  Educating for the New World Order by B. K. Eakman,
  NEA: Trojan Horse in American Education by Educator Samuel Blumenfeld, and One on One by College President George Roche.

• Reconstructing the Republic:
  A Constitutional Battle Plan, 20th Century
  An amalgamation of excerpts from two addresses by Howard Phillips, Chairman of the Conservative Caucus and the American Taxpayers Alliance, and former head of the Office of Economic Opportunity, an agency which it was his job to shut down. His experience of failure only gave him more understanding of how corruption and unconstitutional legislation has gained a foothold in Washington. In this astute assessment of the problem and carefully drafted plan for reconstructing the Republic he outlines the way back to sanity and gives answers to questions people have been asking for two decades. Though he has worked for years in Washington and knows his way around, Mr. Phillips is not just another bureaucrat.

• A Living Voice, 20th Century

• A Caveat Against Injustice, 18th Century
  The immediate prosperity of the new nation under the Constitution can largely be attributed to the work of Roger Sherman (1721 - 1793), who had spent most of his life struggling with a fluctuating medium of exchange. A delegate to the Convention from Connecticut and the only man to sign all four documents pertaining to the forming of the Union, he designed our country’s monetary system with which the fledgling nation was rescued. The text, most interesting in itself, has additional value for averting any contrary judicial speculation as to the intended meaning of the monetary provision of the Constitution. For this reason we reproduce it here in its entirety. It is no small debt that we owe to this one man for the greatness that the United States achieved.
  
  
• The Price They Paid, 19th Century
  What happened to the 56 brave men who signed, at the peril of their lives, the Declaration of Independence? (Taken from an old printing.)

• The U.S. Constitution: An Overview, 20th Century

  how little of it is devoted to the delegation of power;
  and how much of it is devoted to circumscribing that power
  and protecting the citizen and resident.
  
  
• Constitution of the United States, 18th Century
  The political masterpiece, unmatched in world history. Updated with the 27th Amendment ratified in the last decade of the 20th Century. It was proposed by James Madison around the turn of the 19th Century.
  
  

• because as you see how those three events,
  plus the results of other misreadings of the Constitution,
  have worked (and are working) together to our detriment,
  you will be able to see the futility of tackling them singly,
  as many do.
  
  
• because you love this nation and care about its future,
  which is now in much more dire jeopardy than most people realize.

"You created a masterpiece! I have studied geopolitical economics over the past many years, and your books now top my list of significant documents. You bore in on what to me is our most critical issue, the debt-money system, and offer solutions. My order for more is enclosed." -- Merton Short, then State Chairman
of California's American Independent Party, and
National Committeeman of the Constitution Party
