ibox/material/edit: We, the editors of Common Sense II, are anonymous just as Common Sense was originally published anonymously. We recognize that this 92-page, 3” x 6” booklet has tall shoes to fill. Time is running out and we must once again persuade our countrymen to choose freedom over tyranny.

The sole purpose of Common Sense II is to awaken our sleeping countrymen. We have compiled the most illustrative and eloquent writings available and have arranged them in the manner most likely to persuade a nation to stand.

The prevalence of pro-government newspaper publishing by the 1880s was memorialized one night when preeminent New York journalist John Swinton was the guest of honor at a banquet given him by his peers. Swinton was managing editor of the New York Times during the Civil War, later becoming a crusading journalist in the movement for social and labor reform. A toast was offered to the independent press and Swinton later outraged his colleagues when he said the following:

"There is no such thing, at this date of the world’s history, in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinion out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job. If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone. The business of the journalists is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it, and what folly is this toasting an independent press? We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes.http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=22677894


“History records that the money-changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit and violent means possible to maintain their control over governments by controlling the money and its issuance.”
~James Madison

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countryman.”
~Samuel Adams

On February 25, 1913, the 16th Amendment to the Constitution was signed into law, which states that Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on income. However, there is irrefutable evidence that the amendment was not properly ratified. Thirty-six states must support an amendment before it can be signed into law and in 1913, only the “appearance” was given to Congress that this had occurred. In reality no more than four states properly ratified the amendment and the remainder of the states presented fraudulent documents. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=22678075

Most people believe there is a law that states we must file and pay income tax. This is not true. Neither the IRS nor the Department of Justice have been able to produce a law that compels us to pay the income tax. This is because the law does not exist. Americans need to pay income tax only if they choose to volunteer their payment and the IRS itself states that the tax is voluntary. However, if an IRS form 1040 is signed because we have been intimidated to believe we must do so, then we have signed a contract stating that we volunteer to pay the IRS a said sum, waiving our 5th Amendment right to not testify against ourselves. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=22678187

Because nothing has been done, no action taken to restore the relationship between the People and the U.S. Constitution and no peace treaty ever struck to end the Civil War, we in the states and we as a nation as a whole, continue to live under military rule, not under the concepts expressed in the U.S. Constitution, but nevertheless under the Constitution as degraded by stare decesis. ~from Media ByPass

Where would we be today if the rule of precedent had controlled our forefathers? Is the Constitution to be enslaved by any such technical doctrine as stare decisis, and thus manacled with parchment chains? When Franklin stood at the bar of the English Commons ought he to have been satisfied to abandon the claims of the colonists because Mansfield, Thurlow, Eldon and Boston-born Copley could have demonstrated to him that precedent upon precedent fully sustained the right and the power of Parliament to tax the colonists without representation?

This appeal is directed to our Mothers, our Fathers, our Brothers, our Sisters, our Neighbors, our Friends; to research the following and consider the very fact that America today, is a conquered nation, without knowing she has been conquered. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=22678381

“Still, if you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed, if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not so costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no chance of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
~Winston Churchill

“...tell me when did liberty ever exist when the sword and the purse were given up from the people? Unless a miracle shall interpose, no nation ever did, nor ever can retain its liberty after the loss of the sword and the purse. Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force and whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined.
~Patrick Henry


This booklet shows that the American people were to be masters of government servants and that county government, organized by the people to best serve their needs, is the basic building block of our political system. The unconstitutional acts that have been imposed on the American people can be removed with the stroke of a pen. However, that pen will not move without the power of the people behind it. If you cannot believe—will not believe— that there are, in fact, individuals/groups that have been intentionally ruining our country and her people, if the walls in your mind are too great to accept the truth, then understand that these walls are the primary obstacle which must be overcome in our countrymen before this nation can be restored to its proper form.

Samuel Adams
The liberties of our Country, the freedom of our civil constitution are worth defending at all hazards: And it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have receiv’d them as a fair Inheritance from our worthy Ancestors: They purchas’d them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood; and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle; or be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men. Of the latter we are in most danger at present: Let us therefore be aware of it. Let us contemplate our forefathers and posterity; and resolve to maintain the rights bequeath’d to us from the former, for the sake of the latter . . . Instead of sitting down satisfied with the efforts we have already made, which is the wish of our enemies, the necessity of the times, more than ever, calls for our utmost circumspection, deliberation, fortitude and perseverance. Let us remember, that, if we suffer tamely a lawless attack upon our liberty, we encourage it, and involve others in our doom. It is a very serious consideration, which should deeply impress our minds that millions yet unborn may be the miserable sharers in the event.” Link: http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=9740727
