Just a friendly reminder to those who don’t know our history….
For the first 137 years we were a country, there was no Federal Income Tax.
Not only that, it was ruled ILLEGAL and UNCONSTITUTIONAL when it was tried during the Civil War.
Did you know that?
Did you know we not only survived just fine without Federal Income Tax but we also led the world in productivity?
It’s all true!
And a big shout out to Brett Pike who put together a fantastic short video explaining all the history you might not know about this.
Watch here (and then share with a friend):
There was no federal income tax the first 137 years in America was a country.
Everything changed in 1913 with The Federal Reserve Act & 16th Amendment (Income Tax).

TRANSCRIPT:
Why aren’t schools teaching that there was no federal income tax the first 137 years America was a country? Because there was no legal federal income tax between 1776 until 1913 when they amended, or changed, the US Constitution.
They imposed an income tax for 12 years during the Civil War and in 1894 and 1895, but that was found unconstitutional. It was in the Supreme Court case Pollock v. Farmers’ Loan and Trust Company, and they struck down the federal income tax and it remained unconstitutional for another 17 years until 1913.
That was when they passed the 16th Amendment and changed the Constitution. And it has been a little over 120 years since they did that, which means there was no legal federal income tax for the majority of American history. People think that all of these taxes, all of this government intrusion into our lives is the norm, but it is not.
This is the norm. This is 1776 and the reason America was the manufacturing center of the world in 1912. America had the largest and most prosperous middle class in the history of the world. American steel, American oil, American automotive.
But in 1913 they changed the Constitution, which was the same year that they created a national bank. So right at the same time as they gave the government the ability to reach into our pockets and take our money, they also gave a small group of powerful bankers a monopoly over the printing of the dollar.
And they print money out of thin air. They lend the money that they printed to the government and the government agrees to pay them back with interest using the money that they take from us, and that is why the dollar has been so devalued.
That is why you can’t afford a house, and it’s why college is so expensive, because for 137 years America was about prosperity and since then, it’s been about whatever this is. And this is why I wrote a book on the banking system.
And in my courses we learn real history because if our kids are going to have a fighting chance they have to know the truth.
RELATED REPORT:
I know sometimes when people talk about “central banks” most people’s eyes tend to glaze over and they lose interest and fall into a coma.
But please stick with me on this, because I promise it will be anything but boring!
In fact, this is the hidden history they’ve tried very hard to keep from the public.
History but also our current world.
Because the problems of most every problem we experience in our world today can be traced directly to Central Banks — and that’s not an exaggeration.
They rule by secrecy.
The more light is shined on them, the more they hate it.
So they do everything to make you think this is all very boring stuff, very complex, too hard for the average person to understand.
But it’s not complex.
The scam is actually pretty easy to understand once you pull back the curtain and see the Wizard behind the machine…
Once you see the Emperor has no clothes…
Please allow me to explain it to you in a way that everyone can understand.
And once I do, you’re going to be FURIOUS at what they’ve done to you…
Here’s the most basic summary: our Founding Fathers knew Central Banks were toxic. They fought for decades to keep them out of America. And they were successful until the third time these corrupt “elites” finally pushed them through in 1913. Why do the elites want a Central Bank so much? Because it’s the oldest and most corrupt “monopoly” you can have!
The Central Bank literally prints the money of the country.
And then here’s the kicker…they “loan it” to the country at 2% interest!
No amount of fiscal conservative can ever overcome inflation and unbalanced budgets because it’s mathematically impossible!
Wonder why houses used you cost $30,000 and now cost $1,000,000 for the same thing?
And why did it all start going up suddenly after 1913?
Now you have your answer.
Then…what they do next is for ever $1 you “deposit” into your bank, the bank then lends that money out NINE separate times.
It’s called “Fractional Reserve Banking”.
It should be illegal but the bankers wrote the laws.
Now do you see why the system is so broken?
Watch this short clip for all the visual learners out there:
Backup version here:
And now for one of my favorite videos of all time…
This was made about 10 years ago right after the 2008 Financial Crash.
It references Ben Bernanke as the head of the Federal Reserve, and it calls him “The Bernank” in case you don’t understand that reference.
So “The Bernank” is Ben Bernanke, the guy who was running the Federal Reserve back then.
Since him it’s been Janet Yellen and now Jerome/Jay Powell, and before Bernanke it was Alan Greenspan.
Probably some names you recognize.
Watch this absolutely BRILLIANT video breaking down the scam:

And if you loved that (it is one of my all-time favorite videos)…I have one more for you.
Similar topic, similar feel…
This is the Federal Reserve explained:

Now let’s dig deeper…
Opening any eyes yet?
So much more to show you:
HIDDEN HISTORY: Why They Never Told You About The “Federal Reserve”
There is a lot of “history” they never taught you in school.
They taught you what they wanted you to know, not necessarily truth.
Once your eyes get open (red pilled) to one thing, suddenly you start to look around and question everything and the more you look the more you realize that (to quote the Resident) “sonofabitch, they lied to us about almost everything!”
Nowhere is this more true than with the Federal Reserve Bank.
I know when you hear about the “Fed” most people’s eyes tend to glaze over.
That used to be me.
Until I realized the real story here, and it’s more wild than anything you’d see in a blockbuster movie at the theaters.
Here’s the short summary…
The Federal Reserve Bank is: (a) not Federal (it has no government control or true oversight — it is owned by a family of “elites”), (b) it has no Reserves — its flat broke, after it siphons off all your money, and (c) it is not remotely anything like a “bank”.
Good place to start, huh?
Whenever they lie to you right upfront with the name, you know the rest of the lies are going to go REAL deep.
Let’s keep going…
“They” (the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, and the other “elite” bloodline families) tried to get a Central Bank established in the United States from the very beginning.
It was strongly resisted by our wise Founding Fathers.
In fact, we successfully resisted THREE attempts to add a Central Bank to the United States for almost 150 years.
And then…
And then came the Titanic.
You didn’t really think that whole story was just a random sad accident, did you?
Nope – when you did in you realize that a significant portion of the people who were actively resisting a U.S. Central Bank were all invited to the maiden voyage of the Titanic….and then they drove the ship right into an iceberg field.
You know the rest of the story.
The main opposition wiped out, we had our first Central Bank (The Federal Reserve Bank) immediately thereafter, beginning in 1913.
So, why did they fight so hard to get it in?
Simple: money.
The “elites” like to make you think it’s so complicated no one could ever understand, but it’s actually not.
It’s very simple.
Here’s what they do…
They setup a Central Bank in your country and then they issue your money. But here’s the catch: they don’t just issue it, they “loan” it to the big banks at 2% interest. Those banks, in turn have to loan it out at greater than 2% to make a profit and on and on and on down the line until it reaches you.
Wonder why inflation always comes in cycles?
Because they can try to keep it down for a while, but inflation is MATHEMATICALLY programmed into the system from the moment they print the money and “loan” it to the banks.
You never recover from that.
The idea that we could somehow ever “pay off the debt” is a mathematical impossibility when you are 2% in the hole from the very beginning.
And after you clip 2% a year off the entire world economies, for decades and centuries, and you compound that interest over and over, you can see how the “elite” bloodline families control everything.
And I do mean “everything”.
See?
It’s really simple.
Devious?
Ethically wrong?
Evil?
Yes, yes, yes.
But not complex, very simple.
Oh, and for those of you who like data, let’s look at two charts…
This is the inflation rate of the U.S. dollar dating back to the 1700s.
Remember…the Federal Reserve was created in 1913 (see if you can find that on the chart and see what happens immediately afterwards):
Now does it all make sense?
Now with that in mind, I want you to watch two videos that will really connect all the dots for you.
The first is my friend Clif High explaining it even better than I can:
[iframe src=”https://www.bitchute.com/embed/ZqqTaII5mbSp/” width=”100%” height=”360″]
And the second is from Rumble explaining just who these people are:
Want more?
This is just scratching the surface…
If you want much more on this, you need to read the seminole book, A Creature From Jekyll Island:
Trump, Putin and Our Real Enemy: The Khazarian Central Banks
Talk about a headline, huh?
Do you know about the Khazarians?
The Khazars?
Or as Clif High calls them, the “Khazarian Mafia”?
I covered them a few days ago in one of the most popular articles I have written in quite a while.
If you missed it, start here first:
https://wltreport.com/2022/03/22/do-you-know-about-the-khazarian-mafia-the-name-stealers/
Now it’s time to go deeper.
Clif High just released what is essentially a Part 2 video and it’s incredible.
I guarantee once you start listening you won’t be able to stop.
It starts off with Trump and Putin having dinner together, a hypothetical example Clif uses to set the stage for what he’s about to describe.
I think it’s perfect.
He says imagine you go out to dinner and you find none other than President Trump already eating dinner in the same restaurant!
Wow!
Then you look across the way and see Putin eating as well.
You sit down, start to enjoy your meal and then BAM! Ninjas swoop in and start attacking the place, and suddenly you, Trump and Putin find yourselves fighting back in unison against the ninjas — fighting for your life, and winning!
Yes, things get ugly.
Yes, there are deaths.
Yes, the restaurant is left in shambles.
Far fetched…of course! But it’s a parable and a very good one because it makes many points.
Were you, Trump and Putin engaged in “collusion” because you were all eating at the same restaurant and then all started fighting the same enemy?
Of course not!
You all simply found yourself suddenly having to defend your existence against a group of Mafia ninjas.
“Khazarian Mafiosos” to be exact.
And that’s essentially the world we live in.
These Khazars are really sick people.
They’re also called the “Nam Stealers”.
As you can read in much more detail in this article, the Khazarians are not Jews — they’re not Semitic, not descended from Shem or Judah — and yet they’ve “adopted” Judaism as a cloak and shield.
And their home base?
Their “home state” on the globe?
Ukraine.
Now is everything starting to make more sense?
The Rothschilds (or Roths-shields — or “Red Shields”) are Khazars and so are virtually all of the world’s power elite.
Most notably, they control the Central Banks which means they’ve controlled the world for years and the U.S. since 1913.
Clif says they believe they are the “superior race” or “dominant race” in the world.
Clif is way smarter and more studied than I am, but I would suggest one tweak on what Clif says…
I would propose that the Khazars may in fact have ties to the Genesis 6:4 Nephilim.
Are more dots now starting to connect for you?
You know, the elongated heads bunch?
For much more on that, read this:
https://livinggospeldaily.com/who-were-the-sons-of-god-from-genesis-64-three-theories/
And this:
https://livinggospeldaily.com/disclosure-is-coming-why-it-has-everything-to-do-with-christianity-matthew-2424/
And now let me wrap up by circling back to our topic at hand.
The latest video from Clif High.
Clif explains all of this and more, in much more detail and better than I ever could.
He also explains why they always need a war or a pandemic.
It’s because their inflation (which is central to their control) eventually always fails.
It’s just math.
So if they can’t fix the supply side of the inflation curve, they fix the demand side.
How?
Simple — just wipe out a couple hundred million people….or more.
Hence your wars and your pandemics every few decades.
Without it, their system would collapse much sooner.
Anyway, I think you’re going to find this wildly fascinating and informative.
Please enjoy:

As fiat currencies fall, and Central Banks lose control, do you know what will likely skyrocket?
Gold.
We’ve been telling you!
“Gold Revaluation” Incoming? Price Could Be $10,000-60,000 Per Ounce!
One of the worst things our country ever did was to allow the Central Bankers to take of off the Gold Standard…
But it was the best thing to happen to the corrupt bankers, as they printed money to infinity and got filthy rich!
But….are they getting ready to flip the script on the public once again?
As the system they have completely destroyed through unlimited money printing is set to collapse, I’m seeing reports that they might be ready to go BACK to a Gold Standard.
Crazy right?
I have to show you this short 2 minute video from the Black Swan Capitalist who perfectly nails this.
And then keep reading for a solution YOU can implement right now to keep you and your family safe!
He says not only is the plan in place, but simulations have been run and if and when that happens it would result in a necessary gold price of anywhere from $10,000 to $60,000 per ounce!
For those not great at math, from today’s price of $1,955 that would be anywhere from a 400% to a 2,900%+ gain!
Wow!
But not only that but there was one line that jumped out at me….
He said, quote: “Those who put their money in gold and silver will be just fine and make incredible gains, meanwhile those who trusted the Government and kept their money in US Dollars will be utterly wiped out.”
That rung very true to me.
When has “trusting the Government” ever paid off?
This is EXACTLY the kind of thing they would do, and revel in it!
It’s Ronald Reagan’s famous quote:
So with that in mind, watch this clip and understand what might be JUST around the corner….
Central #banks have been quietly buying #gold in preparation for a gold revaluation, which sets the stage for a new reserve currency
They’ve also partnered with #Ripple so they can #tokenize those reseve assets on the #blockchain where #XRP will play a key role in achieving this pic.twitter.com/4k793CNvD0

Bo Polny has been on my show several times in the last few months and he keeps telling you the same thing.
Have you heard those interviews?
He was just one two days ago with me and he continues to sound the alarm that the dollar looks ready to absolutely PLUNGE….
And the results will be ugly.
More on that here if you haven’t seen it: https://wltreport.com/2023/09/28/when-this-happens-dollar-your-life-will-completely/
So would it surprise you that the Elites and the Central Bankers are telling you to trust the US Dollar and they spent the last 50 years selling you on that narrative, only to be doing the exact OPPOSITE themselves and getting ready to sell you down the river?
Or is that EXACTLY how they operate?
Jordan Peterson exposed this recently and it’s very relevant:
Jordan Peterson: Here’s Why Banks Are Buying Up All of the Gold
JUST LIKE I’VE BEEN TELLING YOU!
I’ve got a fascinating one for you today…
I’ve got Jordan Peterson and Peter Schiff in a fascinating conversation about the Value of Gold.
And it’s not just some academic debate.
This could very soon be one of the most important things in your world when the U.S. Dollar crashes and gets its value cut in half….or worse.
These guys know what they’re talking about and this short 8 minute clip is definitely worth your time to watch.
I always say this: don’t listen to what the “Elites” tell you….watch what they are DOING.
And what are they doing?
Stacking gold and silver.
As much as they can get their hands on.
Look, I hope I’m wrong but I think we’re in for a massive event that is going to destroy bank accounts and destroy the U.S. Dollar.
So what happens to YOU when that happens?
Watch this and then scroll down for how I can help you stay safe right now….
Watch:
So, what can YOU do to protect yourself?
To protect your family?
To stay safe?
Simple: you need to get some #Gold or #Silver in your own possession.
It’s called “physical” gold and silver.
Not paper traded garbage on the stock exchanges that isn’t backed by anything.
Don’t touch that stuff.
I have two special hook-ups for you.
Both involve PHYSICAL gold and silver.
Because if you do NOTHING else, make sure you own “physical” gold and silver, not paper contracts.
The paper contracts (like stock ticker SLV and GLD) could very well go POOF one day and disappear or go to zero, because they’re not actually backed by the gold and silver they claim to represent.
It’s a massive game of musical chairs out there and when the music stops (and I think it will stop soon…) people who only own paper might find themselves owning something not worth the paper it’s literally written on.
Now…WHERE do you get physical gold and silver and how do you know it’s real and safe?
And that you’re getting the best price?
Oh, and how about personal one-on-one real customer service?
You know, like you were some Big Wig millionaire at Goldman Sachs who could just call their personal banker and get help?
That’s what I’m about to tell you.
I have two killer connections for you…
The first is for purchasing gold and silver bullion.
That means bulk bars.
That’s the cheapest and most economical way to do it, to stretch your dollar into as much gold and silver as possible.
The website is called [DELETED] and when you see my logo in the top left-hand corner, you’ll know you’re in the right place.
You’ll get a personal phone call with Ira Bershatsky (or someone on his team) and they will work with you free of charge for as long as needed to answer any questions you have and get you taken care of.
How about that!
You don’t see that much anymore, but Ira and his team pride themselves on good old-fashioned real customers service:
No sales pitch, just real, actual help.
And the best prices you will find.
Here’s the only disclaimer I will give you: because they do pride themselves on dedicated service, it might take a few days before you get a phone call back. Just be patient.
Good things come to those who wait!
You can contact Ira and [DELETED] here.
Ok, that was #1.
Now I want to tell you about option #2.
An equally great company, I am so happy to be working with these guys.
This next company is called Genesis Gold and this is for people who want to purchase real physical gold or silver in their IRAs (Investment Retirement Accounts).
You know what the beauty of that is?
TAX FREE baby!
I’m not a tax advisor, but that’s a general oversimplification.
Never pay more taxes than you are legally required to pay.
And that’s why I love getting gold and silver in my IRA (and why I hold a large chunk in an IRA myself!).
There’s so much to love about Genesis Gold, starting with the fact they are proudly and un-ashamedly Christina!
They call it “Faith-Driven Stewardship” and they put it right on the homepage of their website along with a quote from Ezekiel:
