Aight, Here's one that made my Jaw hit the floor:

For context: a while back I did a thread on Central Banking history and the West (based on notes from my "lockdown reads").

Well, I had some unfinished research to do. And when I did, it shocked me:
🧵
One of the tweets in those threads was this tweet that was based on one of my long-running TODO research projects to look further into:

A decade or more ago I was first discovering Ron Paul, I remember this "16th Amendment issue" was a thing he'd often mention (in passing) about the illegitimacy of the Federal Reserve. (keep in mind, for later, Ron Paul's son Rand Paul represents Kentucky)

The implementation of the Federal Reserve and the voting of the 16th amendment (income tax) has been mentioned in many documentaries about the Federal Reserve also.

To my surprise I learned, there have been several Supreme Court cases with people claiming that the 16th Amendment was illegally implemented. (Keep in mind, Federal Income Tax was ruled unconstitutional twice by the Supreme Court)

Also keep in mind one president (Andrew Jackson) vowed to kill the first Central Bank (seeing it as authoritarian and un-democratic) and he even survived an assassination attempt that he attributed to the central bankers:

And that many politicians spoke about it eerily. EVEN Woodrow Wilson (for all his complicity)

Anyway, some of the supreme court cases over the years were people who were part of a Federal Reserve and 16th Amendment Tax "protest movement". I didnt even know such a thing existed.

For brevity sake, let's take the case of ONE state.
I found a transcript of an interview with a man who brought a Supreme court case. He had what he claimed to be a long list of proof of illegitimacy of 16th Amendedment ratifcation in many states, but about Kentucky he said this Image
I casually looked online for these docs for quite a while, but kept failing. MOST of the publicly available "State Legislative Journals" seemed to skip 1910.

I resigned to maybe needing to visit the Library of Congress in-person on my semi-regular visits to D.C.

Image
Image
Image
But eventually by complete happenstance (while looking at other historical documents) I found the FULL Kentucky House Legislative Journals online (not senate)!
Image
Image
As we continue, keep in mind this is the official date that the 16th Amendment was ratified for Kentucky (meaning both the House and The Senate voted for it).

Keep in mind that this is the OFFICIAL date even on Wikipedia: Feb 8, 1910.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixteenth…Image
It appears the lower House of Kentucky did vote to pass it, but that was on 23 Feb 1910. AFTER the official ratification date of 8Feb1910. That is odd, but I dismissed it. I was really looking for the Senate Legislative Journals. That was my goal. Image
After more searching, I found the Kentucky Senate Legislative Journal and the OFFICIAL state record of the vote to add the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
On page 600 of a 1900 Page PDF.

Not only did it not have the votes to pass, the Senate actually voted to REJECT it!
Image
Image
I was reeling. Was i reading this right? I went back periodically and read and re-read it a bunch, thinking maybe there was a "double negative" where a vote of "NEA" actually meant "YEA" to adopt the 16th Amendment. I *HAD* to be wrong.
Remember I said earlier that Ron Paul's son represents Kentucky? Remember how the Legislative journals on Kentucky public digital records skipped the years I needed?

Rand Paul wouldve had access to the hardcopy Kentucky Legislative Journals I eventually found.
It gets worse.
Wikipedia acknowledges that a man named Philander Knox was the center of many claims of controversy about the 16th Amendment. Apparently he just announced it had been ratified by the necessary 3/4ths of States, without any proof. Image
There is some Irony to his last name "Knox". Since Fort Knox was the place that all of Americans' life savings in gold would be eventually confiscated and stashed (shortly following establishment the Federal Reserve).

Here is Philander Knox photographed sitting in da back of da whip next to Woodrow Wilson (who pushed the Federal Reserve in and needed Federal Income Tax to fund the Federal Reserve) Image
Imagine if Janet Yellen or Jerome Powell 'swag posted' on Instagram like this next to their Bugatti or Lamborghinis? That's basically what this photo is but for the early 1900s. Image
SIDENOTE: Even Woodrow Wilson realized late in life that he had made a horrible mistake
...
In conclusion, even if you ignore all the other complaints about the 16th Amendment that people have alleged over the years (like this screenshot)

If you take just pick one state, things unravel quickly.

(I dont wanna believe this, so please correct me if I am wrong)

P.S. Twitter blocked me from continuing my earlier Federal Reserve Thread (linked above) so I continued it a few days later in a separate thread here:

It's spooky how much what's happening right now PERFECTLY mirrors what happened back then.

The "hidden history" behind the "official history" makes the similarities even more obvious. (1/4) Image
The lawfare, the civil unrest, the fake protests, the media misdirection, the coverups, even EXACT words of politicians themselves.

Back then, something was pushed ENTIRELY by a secretive group of elites but they masqueraded it as "public opinion" and 'democracy'. (2/4) Image
Only now, looking back, do we see the grand plot of power politics. the parapolitical drama. the revolution.

Nesta Webster wrote about the French Revolution. The similarities to present-day will blow your mind. Even if you only read the prologue. (3/4)

What was previously "conspiracy theory" in books (like "Boys From Brazil" and "Boreman Brotherhood"), was all quietly validated in recent months via declassifications.

Hitler survived WW2. Guys like Mengele died decades later on beaches of South America. We were warned tho 🧵👇 Image
The Mengele stuff was already pretty public. People just dismissed it (2/7)
Even hints about the size of the deception itself were always right in front of us. We just had to ask and go looking

We were warned about the U.N. and the State department. Image
Regarding the State Department:

He goes on to expose (using their OWN words) the hidden-in-plain-sight plan for the State Department to transition to "World Governance".

There it is again! "Psychological Warfare" rears its head again. Specifically, how it's used against the general population

FUN FACT: The British ran a secret intel office out of Manhattan to propagandize Americans into joining WW2. Where? Rockefeller Plaza aka "30 rock" aka NBC

The "C" in "CBS" (Columbia) comes from "Washington D.C." They made dictaphones for Congress (src: x.com/s7ephen/status…) x.com/s7ephen/status…Image
This pattern repeats A LOT

The natural inclination is to think these companies formed organically and were later "infiltrated" BUT

what if they are founded, incubated, & stoked to serve one purpose: Projection of State Power (think: Dutch East India Co)
Re: "Room 3306" and British Propaganda in the U.S. during WW2:

NOTE: By WW2 the Bank of England & British War Cabinet was indebted to one Family who'd outsmarted them with a brilliant stock bet documented in this 1934 film and Niall Ferguson's books

I wonder if Ms Easterly of CISA (formerly Army Psychological Warfare at Ft. Meade) knows Emily Rainey the Army Psyops officer from 6Jan

Technocracy is just rebranded Communism. Communism is just rebranded Feudalism.
The global "Royals" want to make Feudalism great again.

IMHO, we've been living thru their latest push to implement it globally. Canada makes a great case-study. 👇 (1/3)

Ukraine is also another case-study in this same global revolution.

In this thread (👇) I show how Ukraine is a long-running Brzezinski-planned strategy to foment GLOBAL revolution under the guise of bolstering the U.S. by toppling Russia. (2/3)
Covid was the "starter pistol" fired by the World's largest Technocracy (the CCP in China) It signaled to their functionaries around the World to pull off their decades-old masks and make the FINAL push to world governance. (3/3)
