Reparations Movement of Black
Americans challenge taxation

The Direction of Reparations
Movement of Black Americans of
Slaves T Descent has changes from
Pleading and Debate to that of
ACTION and doing something
about it such as a dramatic chal-
lenge to pay no income taxes to the
federal government based on asuit,
which questions the legality of forc-
ing Black Americans to pay taxes,
according to Robert Brock,
Founder of the Self Determination
Committee, a Black Nationalist
community based Organization
whose aim is to assist and direct
Black U.S. Slaves Descendants to
obtain the right ofself-dermination
and freedom, reparations, and
repatriation.He said that the suit
against the Internal Revenue Ser-
vice was filed in April 1993, using
International Law by Leonard
Ashton who is refusing to pay
taxes.The pleading and debate,
which involves waging and filing
complaints or making statements
of what happened to Blacks in the
pastis what reparations have been
about, but that is what is
changing.The basis of the suit,
Brock said, common law attorney
for Ashton, is that emancipated
slaves never agreed to be governed
by the United States. Because they
never mutually established alle-
giance with the federal govern-
ment, they are not required to per-
form the duties of citizenship, one
of which is being taxed by the
government.As the suit slowly
moved through the United States
District Court in Los Angeles,
Ashton filed a motion for Request
and Order for Judicial Notice of
status of citizenship and the
Fouteenth Amendmentunder Rule

John Davies, at a hearing on Octo-
ber 4, 1993 madea obold disclaimer
to the Court of the:1. U.S. Consti-
tution,2. 13, 14th Amendments,
and Civil Rights Laws,3. and all
other laws, statutes, rules, regula-
tions, orders and commands of the
United States on the grounds that
Leonard Ashton and 49 millions of
U.S. Slaves T Descendants of
AfRIcan Origin National Ances-
try had never consented, agreed
to, or voted on or swore to uphold
the U.S. Constitution and its laws
and statutes, one of them being
the I.R.S.Presently, the suit, on
appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court
of Appeals, lists four issues on
which the refusal of slaves descen-
dants to pay taxes is based, said
Brock:A. Mutuality,B.
Disclaimer,C. Domicile, andD.
Jurisdiction based on
Slavery.There is no showing, nor
have the U.S. Courts answered, of
any mutuality or consent through
a jural process by Black slaves
descendants to the U.S. Constitu-
tion and laws as to associatio by
citizenship, and it appears that
the United States has agreed to
this issue by their silence and re-
fusal to answer, said Brock.In sup-
port of Ashton Ts issue on mutual-
ity, Brock pointed out that the
following seven slave clauses in
the U.S. Constitution negates any
mutuality to the U.S. Constitu-
tion, and further, said Brock, othe
U.S. Constitution, used to enslave
Blacks cannot be the means to free
or make Blacks citizens. ?

bound to Service for a Term of
Years, and excluding Indians not
taxed, threefifths of all other Per-
sons ?. (Constitution, Article I, Sec-
tion 2, Clause 3) (The three-fifths
of a Person was how all slaves
were counted legally.)

In descinding order, Brock
shows a negation of mutuality as

following: o

The 14th Amendment was forced
on Black slaves and their
deccendants

The Dred Scott Decision was
forced on Blacks,

The U.S. Constitution was forced
on Blacks,

The territorial jurisdiction AND
laws are forced on Blacks,

The taxing, tax codes and laws
are forced on Blacks.

There is no lawful showing on
the part of the United States in
thisuit of any mutuality or con-
sent to ANY ACT OR LAWS OF
THE United States, thus, said
Brock, the acts of taxation is by
force, and acts or attempts to ar-
rest Blacks for not paying taxes
before proof, hearing, or dismissal
by the Court and the United States
is a Violation of International Law
and law of self-defense and is war
continued, and this causing direct
action is what is changing in the
strategy of Blacks to direct action
said Brock.

ing something about our

filing the following war clause:

oThat in view of this war pres-
ently continuing, Blacks, Appel-
lants, who also has the rights to
enforce a decision, suspends this
war in favor of legal means

resolve this war, by Defendants
LR.S. and U.S. stop and not con-
tinue to use law and motion until
after and before a judicial deter-
mination of STATUS AND DIS-
CLAIMER, beginning at the point
of the 13th Article of Amendment. ?

DOMICILE (3)

Domicile, unless the United
States can show that there has
been a change of 49 million Blacks T
oAlien status ? by mutuality and
consent, said Brock, all acts from
the original war (taking captive
Blacks from:Africa) and captivity
continous as one act and one
continous act to the present date
hereof.

Unless the United States can
show mutuality in place of sla-
very, the domicile of all 49 million
Blacks of slaves descent is that of
the place of captivity and war "
Africa. Domicile being a
rersidence and official place by
choice as to where one want to
live, then Black have never estab-
lished domicile here in America
in that Blacks for 300 years were
held as property as seen in the
Constitution Article IV, Section
2, Clause 3, and later by the 14th
Amendment was omade ? a ojuris-
tic artifical person ? with residence
citizenship under the 14th
Amendment, but no domicile.As
to domicile, Brock said: oThe do-
micile gained by free birth of Afri-
can in Africa cannot be changed
by a slave birth in the United
States, and the Rules are: 1. It
lies upon the other side (U.S. &
I.R.S.) to shew, that

the clear, unquestional domicil,
gained by birth of Africans in Af-
rica was abandoned and given up.

2. That the domicil of origin ia
the domicil of every person, until

that is abandoned, and another

3. That no domicil can be ac-

quired, until the person is free and

sui juris

JURISDICTION BASED ON
SLAVERY (4)The Defendant
United States contended in its
Appeal Brief that:

oItis simply indisputable thatin
abrogation of the DRED SCOTT
DECISION:-the 13th and 14th
Amendments abolished slavery
and made each and every person
born or naturalized in the United
States citizens of the United
States. ? This statement is an ad-
mission by the United States that
the present jurisdiction is based
on slavery and not free and mu-
tual choice of Blacks. The jurisdic-
tion and negro slavery existed be-
fore the Dred Scott Decision and it
existed afyer the Dred Scott Deci-
sion, and the 13th Admendment
only ended and abolished chattel
and individual ownership of slaves
as chattel, said Brock, and it cer-
tainly did not end captivity and

physical slavery.
The suit having alledged
didclaimer, mutuality,

domicile,and jurisdiction based on
slavery as defenses for Blacks not
to pay taxes, until the Defendant

LR.S. ans U.S. overcome these
defenses, the suit also alledged
two jurisdictional Rules:

~RULE 1: oThat in view of the
true and legal status of Appellant
Leonard Ashton, and all other 49
millions

of Appellants T class or group of:
United States Slaves and Slaves T
descendants of African National
Origin, an ethnic group, resident
in the territory of the United
States, as per their contract of
citizenship, wherein there is a dis-
claimer of citizenship and associa-
tion, no indictment can lie in ab-
sence of proof of crime.

RULE 2: oThe government of
the United States must havejuris-
diction of Blacks of Slaves T De-
scent, and that there is no pros-
ecution in the absence of jurisdic-
tion, and before a crime by 49 mil-
lion of Blacks for not paying taxes,
etc., there must be a violtion of the
law and the violator must be sub-
ject of the law, and the Court must
havejurisdiction.Ifthge Court does
not have jurisdiction to hear this
matter at-Law, it also does not
have the jurisdiction to make a
determination, judici~] to Dismiss
such matter or to use any other
such rules and law and orders.

is truly amazing. The League is
under investigation by the San
Francisco Police Department for
engaging in four decades of infil-

tration and spying against Afri-
can American, Arab American,
anti-apartheid and other progres-
sive organizations (including the
Nation of Islam and the New Alli-
ance Party) "and sharing its in-

formation with the local police,
the FBI and the governments of
Israel and South Africa.

What this all boils down to is
that white leaders, some of whom
are Jewish, still think they have
the right to tell Black leaders "in
this case, leading members of the
United States Congress "with
whom they may and may not asso-
ciate,

This attitude is epidemic both in
the press and throughout society.
Recently, New York Ts Village Voice
attempted to pillory New York
State Senator David Paterson for
accepting financial and political
support for his public advocate
campaign from me, another inde-
pendent Black leader deemed oun-

Democratic Party and those who
speak for it.

Minister Farrakhan and the wel-

throughoutthe weekend (I spoke
on a panel, co-sponsored by Con-

age for which the CBC should be
applauded, not assaulted by the

one else.

What the CBC did at its confer-
ence was an expression of a new
and very significant unity among
Black leaders across the political
spectrum who have learned from
harsh experience that we must
stand up with and for each other.

oA TRIBUTE TO MY 10 BUNDLES
OF LOVE AND JOY ?

God looked upon me and saw I
was lonely and felt alone, He gave
me 10 Bundles of Love and Joy of
my very own.

He first said to me come unto
Him and rest, And I will give you
some of life Ts best.

I did heed the call with all of my
heart, And from Him I was deter-
mined to never depart.

I started with Him in a very
humble way, With an obedient
spinit to obey His word each day.

As the years past and I continue
to pray, These bundles of love and
joy began to come my way.

During these times I was so poor
and depressed, I hadn Tt learned
how to believe the word and con-
fess.

But as years moved on and I
continued to believe His word, God
began to speak to me in ways I'd
never heard.

Ilistened and obeyed and waited
patiently to see, All of these bless-
ings He had personally promised
to me.

Little did I know of what source
or how soon, Little did I know the
blessings would come through the
womb.

Continue on you 10 Bundles of
Love and Joy to higher heights,
And most of all, love God your
Creator with all your might.

THE COLOR THING " With
her dark-chocolate skin and vo-
luptuous lips, Carolita Blythe a
native of Jamaica, never recalls
having to deal with the color issue
" until she moved to LosAngeles
and started working and socializ-

ing in the Hollywood scene. A few

states away in Colorado, Donna
Stewart, tall, fair with long hair
and light eyes was excited about
her new job at the University of
Colorado as an admissions coun-
selor. Her job would require her to
travel the country explaining to
African-American students why
the University of Colorado would
be worth their serious consider-
ation. But the excitement sur-
rounding her new position began
to tarnish when a Black parent
petitioned the chancellor saying oI
wantjustification for why you hired
her. ? Stewart recalls being over-
whelmed by people who didn Tt feel
she would represent Black issues.
Why in the midst of our Afrocentric
renaissance, should there be a bet-
ter shade of Black? This month
ESSENCE examines this critical
issue. (Page 79)

ESSENCE ON THE

portrait of the American criminal
is changing. Increasingly it bears
the face of a child. It Ts five Brook-
lyn boys ranging in age from 14 to
18 charged in the brutal rape and
assault of a 43-year-old jogger. It Ts
a chubbycheeked 10-year-old De-
troit youngster who served as a
lookout in a botched robbery
thatresulted in the shooting death
of a pregnant woman. While the

after 28 days in the Inten-
ve Care Unit.

* He was transfer to Rehab unit
for two months. In the unit he very
hostile, very mean, and wouldn't
even eat are talk too hardly any-
one. One day the lord finally sent
him back home with his family
after being for 6 months. This
person wouldn Tt even eat, talk, or
walk; because he couldn Tt accept
the fact he was BLIND. Some time
past and the doctor said he would
never see again because the tumor
had damage his eye sight.

He couldn Tt accept the fact he
wasn Tt going to be able to see again.
One day something great hap-
pened for him. He began to see just
a little. Since that day his life has
totally changed. He missed a whole
school year and wouldn Tt be able to
graduate with his class the spring
of 95. The lord will make away,
young people if you only believe
and have faith. This young man
had faith but the Devil tried to
steal this young man Ts joy. Glory
be to God he did not let this hap-
pen. Soon after he got home he
began to go to his physical therapy
classes and his home-bound
teacher came to work with him in
his blindness. He began to do his
school the whole summer. While
most of you were enjoying your
summer vacations this young was
cramming work into his brain. He
did it! He took a test and scored
70% higher than some of you who
went to school all 9 months . He
has even gone to summer school
this year. When the school bell
rings on August 23 it will ring
twice; so that , everyone will know
that this young man that will be
returning even those he left last as
ajunior. He will be joining them as

effort and went to work even he
had a visual handicap. He will be
receiving his diploma in June of
95. I speak of Mr. Antwone D.

A case in point is a young African
American female in a Pitt County el-
ementary school who reported other
mother in the school bathroom on two
consecutive days while the teacher lost
account of the children Ts whereabouts.
According to the parent, two young males

several times while explaining the sever-

ity of the situation, only to be informed

? . that the Superintendent was too busy.

r ogr a m a " Finally, the parents went to the

Superintendent's office. After persis-

e ° ; tence, the Superintendent agreed to see

them. The parents insisted that the school

a ] n O r in e involved had made several attempts to
cover up the alleged molestation.

Finally, school officials agreed to sus-
pend the male students involved for five
days.

Correct me if I am wrong, but this at
the least represents criminal behavior
on the part of the two students. It would
have been much better if the school sys-
tem had taken interest in this little black
child in the same manner they would
have their own children. The principal
waited two days before reporting this
attack tothe Superintendent's office. She
also neglected having a conference with
the parents of all the children involved.
The school did not call Pitt County Social
Services, the Greenville Police or offer to
provide this child psychiatric attention.
In fact, the school treated the parents as
if they were second-class citizens. We
wonder what would have happened ifthe
principal had been black and the child
had been white?

Our children deserve the same rights
and protection as do others. The school
system should not pick and choose cases
to pursue based on race and socio-eco-
nomics. Had this been a white female
who had been involved, no stones would
have been left unturned.

Pray for these parents and their child
who have been treated differently be-
cause they happen to be black.

NAACP

The recent firing of the National Ex-
ecutive Director of the NAACP, Ben
Chavis, says more about the ineptness of
the organization that it does about
Chavis. Admittedly, Mr. Chavis misguid-
edly made decisions without board sanc-
tions. No corporate body should allow
representatives to pay off a private scan-
dal with company funds without confer-
ring with that body. After all, this body
has to answer to corporate sponsors.

Here lies the problem: For years the
NAACP has been controlled by the phi-
losophy of its corporate sponsors, This
has greatly diluted the integrity and
power of this dying organization. The
Board of Directors for this organization
(the Black Who Ts Who in America) has
become philosophically itinerate in its
scopes of the future, trying to articulate
the aspirations of blacks while depend-
ing on financial survival of white corpo-
rations, has greatly compromised the
potency of the organization. You cannot
beg for their money and then berate
their prejudice at the same time. It is
hard to believe that a group with the
power and persuasion as the NAACP
could have lost its way. This organiza-
tion has a combination of disciples of Roy
Wilkins and Martin Luther King the
board, One would thingthat such a group
would represent the dream and aspira-
tions of all African Americans.

The real problem is we live in a differ-
ent world with different problems: Black
are now killing other blacks on a more
rapid scale than whites are killing blacks;
more drugs are increasingly and more
rapidly being used and sold by blacks
that at any other time in our history;
there exists a widening disparity between
