So Jesson is a serious activist. Not awfully surprising that the FTB
raided him. I don't imagine he was particularly congenial with them
prior to that point. His appeal in the original link sounded fairly
lame, and it was just this guy's view of what occurred, true on not.

(This is what I love about the news. You never get the whole story. One
news organ says X happened, another says Y happened, and you have to do
all this research to figure out what _really_ happened. Which usually
make the original sensational story appear much more mundane in the
end.)

These other guys _are_ fringe folks. But I'm inclined to agree about the
16th amendment, not that it matters a whole lot now (put it to another
_clean_ vote, and the states would ratify it, like idiots). _But_ if
just one of these groups could even make a dent, I'd be happy.

I haven't done any real research on these in a long time. I read "None
Dare Call It Treason" and "None Dare Call It Conspiracy" a long time
ago, and was impressed. The problem is that these were written at a time
when the biggest perceived threat was communism, and so the conspirators
were cast as communists or communist sympathizers. I suspect there is a
conspiracy, but the communists were just going along. And I suspect the
conspiracy is not a group of people who all know what's going on. I
suspect it's a lot of groups that tend to think alike and travel along
the same agenda. Like the tree-huggers and animal-rights people. Not the
same agenda, but if their agendas were enacted, we'd end up in the same
place-- eating St. Augustine grass and living in tents.

In fact, I'm not even sure the "conspirators" even know they are
conspirators, nor that they realize what the ultimate results of their
work would be.

And then there are the apathetic people of the world whole don't pull
their heads out of their asses long enough to realize that something bad
is happening.
