Welcome to the Global Right Alliance's forums!

Firstly, you can only see a very limited amount of the forums at the moment. You will be able to see the full forums and properly participate in our region and its community when you register.

Join our Community


Now, on to the region itself. Don't let the name, specifically the "Right", fool you. We've got members from across the political spectrum, and our political parties have always reflected this. The Global Right Alliance (GRA), as primarily a gameplay region, has been everything from an anarchy to a monarchy to a homegrown rotatorship. The region has had such governments because of its culture, which adores political intrigue and thrives on confrontation. With the increase of the region's population, many veterans have returned. It is the beginning of a new Global Right Alliance and a new government system.

I know the forums can be quite intimidating; there's people who have been here for nearly a decade and have over 10,000 posts. However, we welcome new members and encourage them to get involved. If you want help finding your way around, we have resources to help you to get on your way.

You're not nearly as free as you think. Here is a video that isn't a conspiracy theory.

"Some tax protesters, conspiracy investigators, and others opposed to income taxes cite what they contend is evidence that the Sixteenth Amendment was never "properly ratified." One such argument is that because the legislatures of various states passed resolutions of ratification with different capitalization, spelling of words, or punctuation marks (e.g. semi-colons instead of commas) from the text proposed by Congress, those states' ratifications were invalid. A related argument is that various states illegally violated procedural requirements of their constitutions when passing their ratification resolutions. Another argument made by some tax protesters regards Ohio, one of the states listed as ratifying the amendment. They contend that because Congress did not pass an official proclamation recognizing Ohio's date of admission (1803) to statehood until 1953 (see Ohio Constitution), Ohio was not a state until 1953 (and, therefore, could not have ratified the Sixteenth Amendment). These and similar arguments have been universally rejected by the courts."

I didn't watch all the movie, but if the basic gist of the whole thing is "the 16th Amendment was never ratified: Fraud and Coverup from there" then its a load of hogwash.

Well your defence is 'hogwash' until you watch the whole video. Kinda like people who protest certain movies like Dogma without seeing them.

Although the info on wiki is probably true, there are other things presented in the video that are worth thinking about.

I've seen Dogma.

Any supposed "documentary" that starts out with a blatant fallacy is not worth my time....

He does say that he just doesn't use punctuation as an excuse for why it wasn't passed.


Anyways at the beginning he says that his initial idea was all about income tax being unlawful and in his search he found some other worse things. Those other things are more interesting and are later in the film than income tax law.

VD,

There is something called the Commerce Clause of the US Constitution that makes everything that guy said totally void.
