It is enough to make most people sick, reading on Quatloos. However it suits my research well to have such predictable debunkers.

For the sake of politeness, you may read a recent post of mine there, here:
Quote:
Peter Hendrickson's philosophy and presumptions are quite sound in the fact you are all chattel. That is to say according to the Thirteenth Amendment the citizen of the United States and federal employee are synonymous.
A simplified method to view the controversy Hendrickson describes is that Section 6331(a) is removed from the Code citations on that back of the Notice of Lien form. The paragraph (a) says that Government Employees are subject to the lien codes. Of course until educated about the economic infrastructure of bankruptcy and why the Thirteenth Amendment was replaced at the end of the Civil War, many patriots/tax protestors claim that this is fraud by omission. I have even seen a letter from a senator agreeing with this. The misdirection is that only federal employees are subject to the lien. True. But a bad example because the history of the paragraph is a genuine federal employee importing liquors. It did not exclude any other persons liable.
In the original and still custom, we are to be claiming privileges of state Citizenship of clause 4 of the Constitution. When we are elected or appointed to serve, we lose that higher citizenship and become federal employees - citizens of the United States. That is why one would be fired from serving for accepting gifts and titles of nobility from foreigners. The Thirteenth Amendment was to protect the state Citizens from skewed representation in Washington DC.
Hendrickson has just worked that arguement out with more convincing code citations than 6331(a). An employer I know argued 6331(a) missing and was told point blank, "Every citizen of the United States is a federal employee!"
One of the people I interviewed recently, his wife inquired of her employer and the written report came back clearly that she is a "Federal Employee". It is complicated but she has received the full refund on some years past and then it seems like the IMF encountered a problem doing that and on other years she is being given the "frivolous" letter and charged $500. Sometimes it is amusing how double-minded and hypocritical it gets with the IMF/Treasury. So her next step is to swear under purjury that she is not a federal employee. [She is in fact viewed as a daughter corporation.] The issue may come to resolution soon this way. Either pay up, returning the refunds too; admit herself to the peonage or full refunds all around for all the years.
In summary making people be federal employees against their knowledge is at best bad faith. It equates to involuntary servitude. Making people be citizens of the United States is by all intents and purposes the same thing.

What really gets me laughing is the
de jure Thirteenth Amendment was replaced by the
de facto Thirteenth Amendment -
the Slavery Amendment. Isn't that sweet! The pickle described above?
