Is the 16th amendment of the Constitution. in Direct conflict with Section 9 Article 4 of the original Constitution? If so does that make the 16th amendment Unconstitutional?

By definition, an Amendment to the Constitution cannot be deemed unconstitutional. Only another Amendment can make a previous Amendment unconstitutional (case in point - the 18th Amendment could not be deemed unconstitutional; the 21st Amendment had to be ratified to undo the 18th).

Can our government give away our sovereign nation without the people having a say? That's what the North American Union does..Also see: The Emergency Banking Act of March 9, 1933, 48 STAT.1, Public Law 89-719!

There are only 4 sections in Article 4.

Sec 9 Art 4
No capitation, or other direct, Tax shall be laid, unless in Proportion to the Census or Enumeration herein before directed to be taken.) (Section in parentheses clarified by the 16th Amendment.)
16 th Amendment
Amendment 16 - Status of Income Tax Clarified. Ratified 2/3/1913. Note History
The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.
I would have to say no!
