About this listen

 It is April 1st. Welcome to yestohellwith.com. If you are new to this platform, please know there are a number of free reports for you on a number of topics related to taxes, jurisdiction, a letter to President Trump, and more. You need only register for free and those reports will be sent to you. On another note, I received a message from a Follower named Tomas in Namibia yesterday. He was excited to share that he had a case dismissed by using the Liberty Dialogues. Just imagine that. He is an inspiration and we should learn from his example. I will be interviewing him soon. Now, for your consideration. April Fools Day. Who are the fools? Are you? we have the opportunity to identify the fools—the real fools.For years, Congress presumed that we, the American people, were the fools. They presumed that we would comply with every statute, every regulation, and every demand simply because they issued them. They presumed that issuance alone created obligation.But here is the truth. When members of United States Congress enter office, they know just as little as the American people. They do not arrive with no civics education, for this is not taught in our schools generally. They do not arrive with clarity of jurisdiction, or a defined understanding of authority. And while in office, they learn the system—which they eventually serve. Not the Constitution. Not the people. The system.In doing so, they become functionaries, processing information, repeating language, and issuing responses they do not fully understand. They are Buffoons, beholden to the very system they operate—fools, one and all. So when some of us send letters, questions, and doubts, these fools send our inquiries through a machine—a machine that categorizes, filters, redirects, and insulates them from accountability. What comes back is not an answer, but a template: a boilerplate response carefully designed to acknowledge us without ever answering us.I saw it firsthand. My own congressman, Frank Wolf, did exactly that. I asked a question. He did not give me a legislative determination. No—it was procedural. He sent my letter to the Internal Revenue Service, which then gave him a canned answer that was completely unresponsive.Frank Wolf passed the question to the very agency whose conduct and assumptions I was questioning. He played me for the fool.And that is when it became clear. Frank Wolf was the fool. He never intended to answer my question. He sought to dismiss me without holding himself accountable as a lawmaker. Senators Mark Warner, Jim Webb, John Warner, and George Allen did the same thing. Fools all. So here is the lesson. I had a good faith belief, and these fools used the system to avoid giving me a legislative answer. But with solid Good Faith Beliefs, everything changes.You are no longer guessing. You are defining the terms, identifying the authority, establishing the jurisdiction, and stating your position—in good faith and on the record.More importantly, you craft your questions to Congress in such a way that they cannot pass the buck and cannot evade the issue by referring it to an administrative agency.Congress is the legislative branch. If a member of Congress receives a question regarding the meaning, intent, scope, or application of a law passed by Congress, then that member has a duty to answer legislatively. To send the question to the IRS, the Department of Justice, or some other agency is not an answer. It is evasion.That is precisely why the Statement of Understanding and Good Faith Belief program exists. It creates a structured record. It identifies the exact issue, the exact definition, the exact authority, and the exact question. It expressly requires a legislative response and places Congress on notice that referral to an agency is not responsive.If they still pass the letter to an agency, then the record is clear. The problem is no longer that the citizen failed to ask the question. The problem is that Congress failed to answer it.And that failure is more than avoidance. It is evasive. It shows a lack of accountability to the office they hold. It shows that they are unwilling to discharge their legislative duty and solemn moral obligation to the people they represent.Now the burden shifts. They must answer, or their silence and evasion will stand on the record.So who are the fools on April 1st?Not the American who asks.But those who entered office knowing no more than the people, and chose not to learn the truth—only to serve the system that hides it.Visit statementofunderstanding.com and learn how to require Congress to answer legislatively, just as they should.
