The Fourteenth Edition of CtC is Now Available! And Hey! Don't miss the great stuff in the main page of this edition! ***** "The preservation of a free government requires, not merely that the metes and bounds which separate each department of power be invariably maintained, but more especially that neither of them be suffered to overleap the great barrier which defends the rights of the people. The rulers who are guilty of such encroachment exceed the commission from which they derive their authority, and are TYRANTS. The people who submit to it are governed by laws made neither by themselves nor by an authority derived from them and are slaves….." -James Madison
A Resource Treasure Chest Films, posts and pages rich with tools for upholding the truth LOSTHORIZONS.COM IS FULL OF RESOURCES-- gigabytes of authorities, evidence, analyses and observations on the true nature of the income tax (and many other legal and public policy issues as well). I think all will agree that this is a good thing. However, it must also be admitted that sometimes that kind of sheer volume of material can make it easy for even a diligent researcher to overlook important or helpful items on the site. With that concern in mind, I'm going to use this Mid-Edition Update to point to a few of those resources that I think are of most universal interest, but which everyone might not have seen, or which may have been forgotten over the course of time. I encourage everyone to click on each link below, even though you may believe you're familiar with what you will see. You might be surprised. Further, these offerings contain a number of selections especially suited to sharing with friends and acquaintances who are not yet on the field upholding the law, and ought to be. Use these resources for outreach in that regard like people with a purpose! Here we go: Federal And State Responses To Proper Claims For Refund My guess is most of you visit this page fairly often, but how many have actually clicked on this link from that page, and take in the real scope of what that 1,000+ stack of victories for the rule of law merely samples? And is everyone keeping this information from the bottom of that page thoroughly in mind when introducing others to the truth about the tax by way of the evidence posted on that page? *** The 'Every Which Way But Loose' Collection This is an absolutely under-utilized resource! The cases in this collection are nearly all episodes of people facing resistance from tax agencies over their CtC-educated filings. In each of these cases very open-eyed agency attention was being paid to the filing and the agency specifically WANTED to thwart the educated filer's claims/rebuttals. And yet, eventually the agency just surrenders. Plainly, even just one single instance of a tax agency squarely acknowledging an educated filing (such as any number of the dozens of remarkably agency-attentive instances in this collection) is 100% unambiguous and dispositive proof of the correctness of what was done by the filer. Under no circumstances will any filer's claim EVER be honored if flawed or not provided-for by law while the agency is both scrutinizing it and desirous of NOT honoring it. It doesn't get much better than the episodes in this collection to show as practical evidence that what CtC uniquely reveals about the tax is the complete and liberating truth. Even those who are not of a studious bent and aren't ready to read the detailed revelations and take in the whole picture will recognize that truth from this evidence alone. Further, acknowledgements like these make clear that even when tax agencies occasionally engage in bad behavior in response to proper educated filings-- whether before or after honoring the filing-- it is not because the filings are wrong or improper and the agencies have legitimate cause. Any one of the EWWBL victories proves that's not so, and that instead the balky or threatening tax agency is simply corrupt, and is trying to evade the law and/or intimidate, browbeat, or confuse a target into self-reversal or standing down. *** In the previous entry I said "It doesn't get much better" than the EWWBL collection to show the undisputed correctness of CtC-educated filings. But there is one better practical package of evidence-- and that's the massively-documented, still-ongoing government effort to escape the disaster to its "ignorance tax" scam represented by the very first educated filing and resulting victory in American history. That first educated return was given phenomenal government attention and scrutiny before being honored, and the subsequent still-unsuccessful effort to un-ring its bell has continued for 13 years now. This one is a full meal of pudding for those wanting "proof" even beyond the facts presented in CtC and WGRaM themselves. *** Although we all uphold the law for the sake of principle, a lot of folks still wonder and sometimes even worry how the roads will be maintained, or the country kept secure, when the truth about the income tax is widely understood in America as it once was. This article puts an end to those fears. Read it; share it! *** Why The Government Lies About 'Cracking the Code' This 24-minute film is a singular wake-up to anyone in denial-- documented proof of deliberate lies by government officials about what is said in CtC. Let me clarify-- these are not lies disputing what is said in the book. These are lies which declare that the book says things which it does not. These lies are made to mislead the public about what the book really DOES say, in hope of discouraging readers, and also in order to mischaracterize the book and its revelations as being nothing but warmed-over "tax honesty" nonsense that officials and tax-industry professionals can therefore assume to be wrong without reading the book themselves and learning the unsettling truth. Following the documentation of the official lies about CtC's contents, the film then introduces the viewer to educated Americans displaying the victories they have won based on the information which is actually presented in the book. This video needs to be seen in its entirety, and shared as widely as possible. *** This little film busts two myths about the tax-- that it began with the 16th Amendment; and that even if the tax weren't misapplied as it has been over the last 75 years to finance the growth of the Leviathan state, the statists would just print the money needed to keep the monster alive and well. Not so in both cases, and everyone needs to know these things, cold. (By the way, another treatment of the "Didn't start in 1913, or with the 16th Amendment" issue can be seen here.) *** Educated Americans Love The Income Tax Does that title sound weird to you? You need to watch this little film and see some of the activities upon which the tax actually falls. Then you'll understand... *** It's Time To Learn The Truth About The Income Tax This is the very first video I ever made (back in 2006, though with some additional material added a few years ago), and it's even poorer cinematography than the others above. But it does offer a lot of basic information about the tax in a compact and pretty accessible form. Everyone should see it and share it. *** A Brief Introduction To The Fascinating Truth About The American Income Tax This document, the main text of which runs to only 23 printed pages, is a comprehensive primer to the entire income tax subject when read in its entirety. Every serious seeker of the truth about the tax, and of liberty from its mis-application, should study this document and its linked attachments until they know it cold. Learn it; share it. *** OF COURSE THERE IS MUCH, MUCH MORE that I could post in this little collection of resources. But taking in those presented here will equip anyone with all that is needed to effectively spread the word that the tax is widely misunderstood, make clear why that is so, and let people know that they can free of the harm caused by that misunderstanding Those wanting to explore more broadly, or in other areas of interest both tax related and non-tax-related, will find links for that purpose here. Bring lunch to your desk before you start. You won't want to get up once you do.

The decision upholds unprecedented orders compelling a government adversary in a legal contest to make government-dictated, government-benefitting false testimony. Also upheld is an equally-unprecedented jury instruction relieving the government of the burden of proving a statutory element of a charged offense: "[I]t is not a defense to the crime of contempt that the court order that the defendant is accused of violating was unlawful or unconstitutional."
About The Trump Candidacy SOMETIMES GREAT POLITICAL THEATER offers more than just entertainment. The responses of the electorate and the political establishment to the candidacy of Donald Trump make for a great case-in-point, as they highlight some very important truths to the discerning eye: Truth No. 1: Americans are sick of war and the costs of war and the lies about the reasons for war. Donald Trump is NOT doing so well because he appeals to some vulgarity in the character of lots of Americans. Or, more accurately, Trump is not doing so well because he makes any meaningfully-greater appeal to such vulgarity than any other candidate. They ALL speak like ill-bred and ill-educated boobs on matters of Muslims, trade agreements and economics in general, and most of the rest of what establishment politicians and their media shills use to hypocritically criticize Trump. Rather, Trump is doing so well because he appears to be the candidate least likely to perpetuate and expand United States military aggression, and also because he therefore appears to be the candidate most likely to break the military-industrial-congressional complex's grip on Americans' shoulders, by which it pins them in place with one hand while the other digs in their pockets for cash in between assaults on the Constitution. Truth No. 2: Americans are sick of the neo-cons and their bs. The electorate has awakened to the fact that even if the bogeymen and alleged "threats to national interests" cited by the neo-con cabal to justify its perpetual-war policies and demands for ever-greater sacrifices of liberty, blood and treasure are actually true, the damage from these "solutions" is greater than anything those hobgoblins could inflict. And increasing numbers of Americans are awakening to the fact that the hobgoblins aren't real anyway. Truth No. 3: The threat felt by the elite from Trump, just as from any candidate outside their ranks, is a threat to THEIR interests, not yours and mine. The foaming-at-the-mouth opposition to Trump by "establishment" candidates and their media shills has nothing to do with concern for the well-being of you, me, or America. The reason for that rabid, maniacal opposition is the threat Trump represents to 1) the neo-con agenda, 2) the gravy-train of the "made-men" of the political establishment, 3) the continued ascendancy of the military-industrial-congressional complex, and 4) the police-state that ascendancy brings in its wake. While a Trump presidency may well be dangerous for the rest of us in some fashion or another, solicitude for the interests of flyover-country is not what's on the minds of the John Kasichs and the Hillary Clintons and the folks at NPR or the RNC. People in those places got where they are by a close and exclusive attention to the interests of "number one" (and those of their special-interest clients who reward "number one" for good service) and that's what we're seeing from them now. NONE OF THE FOREGOING is a commentary on the virtues of a Trump presidency in any other respect than the apparently lower threat he poses than the other candidates of pushing us into a war with Russia or of perpetuating and expending the so-called "war on terror" and all its domestic political pathologies. But, of course, this is a VERY important respect... Otherwise though, as mentioned above, Trump is an econmic illiterate, like all the others. Like all others, he presents at least a facade of cultural and political vulgarity. Trump is in no way a White Knight who is going to shut down the fed, broom out the corrupt federal judiciary, hand walking-papers to a few million federal bureaucrats or restore the republic in any other way-- at least not deliberately and as part of a plan. In short, Donald Trump is no Ron Paul. THAT SAID, HOWEVER, THERE IS one important difference between Trump and the others. Unlike the rest, what is bad about Trump's positions is not because the badness serves his (or his owner's) agenda, as is true of all the rest. In Trump's case, he just doesn't know any better. Unlike Hillary Clinton or Marco Rubio, who are how they are because they've been paid to be, or whose rise to their current spots in the political hierarchy is due to their actual embrace of the evil policies of statism, Trump is not a dyed-in-the-wool statist, and he can learn and change bad positions, where these others never will, by predisposition or by policy. Further, because Trump's positions are not deliberately wrong-headed, while those of his detractors and competitors are, Trump is least likely of the bunch of them to expand and worsen the problems caused by past policies, even if he learns nothing going forward. Bombastic Donald Trump isn't going to channel "Silent Cal" Coolidge from the standpoint of personal style, but he might from a policy point-of-view FINALLY, THERE EXISTS THE REMOTE POSSIBILITY that Trump might actually do a little housecleaning of Mordor-on-the-Potomac, rather than just not make things steadily worse, as all the others would certainly do. One other feature Trump offers to an angry America that is reaching limits of its restraint with institutional corruption and the steady assault on the rule of law by government is his lack of ingrained, this-is-how-I-got-here habits of log-rolling and back-scratching and looking the other way with a wink and a nod. The American political culture has become an unfunny satire, well-exemplified by each occasion on which some public official or another declares him- or herself to "take responsibility" for some evil or disastrous failure, and then nothing happens. No resignation; no impeachment; no charges; no changes. That farcical play-acting at statesmanship is what everyone in authority in Washington is used to, and it never even occurs to them that it isn't good enough. Or they look on it as what protects them, too. But Donald Trump might actually hand out some red cards or some pink slips. If he were to do so every time an executive office-holder or bureaucrat messed up, a million bad apples would be chucked out of the barrel, even if Trump only got one term in office. So here's my bottom line: GO TRUMP! BTW, ANYONE WHO THINKS it has been Bernie Sanders supporters disrupting Trump campaign events is naive enough to BE a Bernie Sanders supporter. Bernie Sanders supporters are not the culprits here. Those with reason to fear the pissed-off Americans Trump's candidacy is arousing are pros at "false flag" operations, and anyone can buy a box of "Feel the Bern" T-shirts. These disruptions have the fingerprints of establishment spin-meisters all over them, and again, they're the ones with the motive. If disruptions were happening at Clinton rallies, it might be rational to buy the notion that Sanders supporters are responsible. But not when the targets are Trump events. BTW II, CtC WARRIOR PATRICK HART HAS A GREAT IDEA: Pete, I’ve been looking for a physical mailing address for Trump and have contacted his campaign headquarters. I left a message and hope they’ll contact me. I’ve thought we CtC educated folk might Buy a Book for Trump. If we flood his campaign headquarters with your book, somebody, many-bodies, may read it and inform Trump. Trump is not happy with the tax structure. He has said in campaign that he gets audited every year. I’m sure he’d like that to stop also. He might find that he has a lot of revenue that is not taxable. He’d love knowing that.

Another Recent Victory IT'S ALWAYS ESPECIALLY PLEASING to post victories produced by amended returns. These are instances in which someone has already, maybe years ago, kissed the hard-earned fruit of their labors good-bye. That good person had to struggle to come to terms with the expropriation of what is rightfully theirs, but at the time was forced by lack of knowledge of any solution to resign him- or herself to the conclusion that nothing could be done. Odds are fair that a dive was taken into some pool of eyewash formulated to make it all seem ok-- "social contract" nonsense, or something of the sort. In fact, this good person had probably talked himself into looking forward to the "refund" he had calculated on his "ignorance tax" return, while papering over the fact that it amounted to an interest-free loan to the state. Even more paper will have been laid over the fact that notwithstanding that little "refund", the state was being left with far-and-away the lion's share of what had been withheld or paid-in. So, when someone who has learned the truth goes back and makes all this as it always should have been by way of a "re-do", it's especially gratifying. This week's featured victory is just such a happy event. MIKE MYERS HAD FILED a conventional shake-down permission-slip concerning 2013 to begin with. He can't be blamed-- everyone from his parents to those friendly folks at H.R. Block helped him believe that doing things that way was just somehow right and proper, even in the land of the free and the home of the brave. But then Mike learned the truth. Being a proper and fit inhabitant of the land of the free and the home of the brave, Mike promptly got up off all fours and kicked open the barn door with this educated amended return.* The prompt result? Just what it should be, the return of that "lion's share" that have been resting in the wrong belly for a few years, along with the interest that should have been accumulating in MIKE'S bank account during the intervening years:
WELL DONE, MIKE!! Mike's righteous action has not only made HIM whole. It has also tipped the scales of power a little bit back in the People's favor, toward the way the Founders mean for things to be, and the only way Americans' liberty and security can be preserved. We all owe Mike gratitude for his effort. I hope everyone who knows him gives him a clap on the back and a heartfelt, "Thank you!", just as we all should do to any and every one of the tens of thousands of other true American heroes whose ranks Mike has joined. *It will be noted that Mike worked for railroad companies during 2013. But apparently whatever particular work he did lacks the federally-privileged character often true of activities associated with such companies, as Mike averred on his amended return with the subsequent manifest agreement of the IRS. Post a comment on this article Set a brushfire-- E-mail this newsletter to a friend 'The Truman Prophecy' Through the Looking Glass on the way to The Exit. BRIAN WRIGHT HAS TO BE one of the most
idea-rich libertarian activists on the planet. He is
certainly one of the hardest-working and most optimistic.
All three of these virtues are prominently displayed in
Brian's new book, 'The Truman Prophecy'.
Brian is the author of the wonderful and inspiring 'SNaP' ("Sacred Non-aggression Principle") Liberation Technology series, as well as 'After 9/11 Truth-- The Death Star in Ashes; Humanity Rises', 'The Motor City Witchcraft Trial(s)' (a first-hand observation of Doreen Hendrickson's unprecedented ordeal at the hands of corrupt elements of the state apparatus) and a heart-warming biographical tribute to his mother (which I, much to my surprise, couldn't put down), among much else. But 'The Truman Prophecy' is a departure for this prolific writer-- it is the first time Brian has presented his intellectual material in the form of a novel. Like the film 'The Truman Show' which inspired Brian's title, 'The Truman Prophecy' is a journey to the exit from a snare of illusion and the exploitation that ensnarement makes possible. But 'The Truman Prophecy' is not about an escape-- instead it is about victory over the illusions and their beneficiaries. 'The Truman Prophecy' is a study of today's American condition, from the perspective of a writer with faith that this is still the land of the free and the home of the brave, even if a lot of those good folks have been asleep and plugged into the Matrix for a dangerous while. The tale follows one of those free and brave Americans, who has thoroughly taken the red pill and is now wide awake and busy. Protagonist Hiram T. Chance makes a wise pilgrim's progress through a whirlwind (or perhaps a cacophonous carnival midway) of statist and crony-capitalist criminality on a dozen fronts, observing and analyzing each of the myriad offenses (some of which are, perhaps, a bit fanciful, but hey, the book is a novel). Chance travels in the diverse and diverting company of a host of true American activists who steadily rise in righteous opposition to the corruption. Throughout, a calm certainty of the eventual triumph of truth and law over lies and despotism leads the way, with an air of the inexorable power with which dawn overcomes the darkness of the preceding night. Everyone should have Chance's calm faith that the Norsemen have it wrong-- Ragnarök doesn't end the way they fear. I hope everyone reads this book, and comes away with that faith. But despite its importance (and author Wright's natural inclination toward it) 'The Truman Prophecy' recognizes that faith is only the "inspiration" side of things. The "perspiration" is just as important. Accordingly, though steadily upbeat in demeanor 'The Truman Prophecy' is not a warm, fuzzy gaze at pie-in-the-sky through rose-colored glasses. Instead it is filled with prescriptions for the problems it presents, involving both transformations in those who wish for change and very specific concrete practical actions to be taken. In many ways, this book is a combination "red pill" and 'Whole Earth Catalog' for the righteous political activist. IF 'THE TRUMAN PROPHECY' SUFFERS FROM ANYTHING, it is not the fault of the author. The one critique that struck me in the reading is that the shooting gallery of current event being dissected throughout the book is overly target-rich-- hence my reference to the Looking Glass in my subtitle for this review. Like Alice, a 'Truman Prophecy' reader is greeted with disconcertion at every turn and this is a ride without straightaways. But again, this is no fault of Brian Wright's. Place the blame on the People of the Power Sickness (to use Brian's wonderful expression), who have subjected the rest of us to so much corruption and so much needing to be fixed. Really. Blame them. And then join Hiram T. Chance and the activist army to whom he introduces us in declaring personal independence and stepping out the exit door into the warm morning light. Order 'The Truman Prophecy' here. ***** A Michigan Version Of The "Watching The Watchmen" Amendment Has Been Proposed *****

Another Featured Victory
I'M PLEASED TO ADD A VICTORY TO THE POSTED TOTAL that had actually been won a few years ago but had never been shared until now. Prompted, perhaps, by my very seriously-meant admonition here, Q. Z. has belatedly shared a $24K+ complete federal refund of everything withheld during 2012, plus interest. Well done, Q.! By itself, Q.'s victory is wonderful, of course. ALL such victories for the rule of law over a revenue-collection structure that is 75 years into systemic misapplication of the tax whenever ignorance or intimidation can be exploited are wonderful, and worthy of celebration. However, in this case, Q. happens to have included a cover letter very explicitly laying out the meaning of her filing. This feature makes her newly-shared victory particularly worthy of attention. Q.'s cover letter makes crystal-clear that her refund was issued by an open-eyed government agency. The IRS was fully apprised of exactly what was being claimed, and why, before it agreed with the claim and cut that $24,317.53 check returning every penny withheld from Q. during 2012, Social security and Medicare taxes included-- plus interest. Here is the letter:
Here's the check:
The filing accompanied by the cover letter above (with Schedule A omitted) can be seen here. MY HEARTIEST CONGRATULATIONS TO Q. on her victory on behalf of the rule of law. Had she not gotten educated about the real nature of the income tax, and stood up and acted, the unscrupulous state would have happily kept her money with a smirk at its success in "working-around" critically-important Constitutional provisions through the exploitation of ignorance and intimidation. ON THE OTHER HAND, my heartiest denunciations for those incomprehensibly-stubborn people who persist in mindless denial of the truth about the tax revealed exclusively in 'Cracking the Code- The Fascinating Truth About Taxation In America.' Were they to acknowledge that endlessly-proven truth I wouldn't have to go to the trouble of posting yet more evidence like that above, over and over and over. More, were those deniers to stop lying to themselves about CtC and the truth about the tax, all of us would be living RIGHT NOW in a transformed America. If you or anyone you know is suffering any injustice or outrage at the hands of the arrogant, overgrown, law-defying state, blame the CtC deniers. "It is not the function of our Government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the Government from falling into error." -U.S. Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson (BTW, there is no special benefit or virtue to cover letters generally, or to Q.'s in particular, from any kind of legal standpoint. Such letters do not prompt lawful responses from government agencies which otherwise wouldn't be forthcoming. A properly-made claim using only the government-published forms for that purpose is all that is needed to get that lawful response, as is amply demonstrated by the hundreds of thousands of such lawful responses and complete refunds secured with only those instruments. BTW II, Q.s cover letter furnished me with a nice opportunity to make the point about CtC-educated refunds never being "slips through some crack", as those in denial yet cling-to with a degree of absurdity that became mind-bogglingly indefensible years ago, after the first ten or twenty thousand refunds were issued. But the IRS's own program documentation has always made clear to anyone not dedicated to blindness that every such refund has always been thoroughly vetted before being issued. See this.)

WANTED! Your Article!! Sharpen those pens, people! MY FRIENDS, THIS NEWSLETTER NEEDS your creativity, your clear thinking, and your expressive energy! In short, this newsletter needs your journalism! I know that writing for public consumption isn't everyone's cup of tea. But those who CAN string a few words together can importantly serve the educated, activist community by writing and submitting thoughtful, well-researched and persuasive articles on certain topics for posting on these pages. Here are several topics for which submissions are desired:
Articles should be 1500 words or less, with working titles and author's name at the beginning. Composition should strive for two and three sentence paragraphs organized in the form of a theme paper. Intend to persuade and inspire, not browbeat. Format should be either .doc or .odt. All submissions selected for posting may be subject to editing. BTW, CtC Warrior Greg Sutton has just had a good educational/inspirational article published here.
Post a comment on this article Set a brushfire-- E-mail this newsletter to a friend ***** Why Aren't People Suing? SO, I WONDER HOW MANY FOLKS have thought about the fact that the First Amendment prohibits even a bogus "frivolous return penalty" threat, such as the customized "3176C" notices that a few educated filers have received over the years (see here, here and here for some examples)? After all, a "frivolous penalty" threat amounts to a threat by the government to punish someone for saying what the government wishes they would not say (or for not saying what the government wishes they would say). Even when the threat is entirely reliant on the timidity and cooperation of the target for its effect or an outright hoax, the object of the exercise is to control the target's speech. Thus even when technically toothless it remains a gross violation of the Constitution and the victim's rights. The threat is also intended to influence the target into at least withdrawing a claim to the refund of withheld or paid-in property, which would then default to government ownership (and really, the threat is meant to coerce an active endorsement of a government claim to the property, giving the appearance that the government's taking control of that property is proper and beyond legal challenge). Thus, these "frivolous penalty" threats are doubly criminal. AFTER ALL, PROHIBITING INHERENTLY CORRUPT exercises of state power of precisely this sort is the reason we have a "freedom of speech" element in the First Amendment. Americans can't be made to say things for the government's benefit, nor punished for saying things the government finds inconvenient or at its expense-- this is perhaps the most thoroughly-settled aspect of Constitutional law there is. See a nice summary of Supreme Court case-law on this point in sections A., B. and C. of this paper. Plainly, there is no exception to the amendment's provision whereby the government can simply argue, "We can punish you until you say what we want you to say, either directly or by being silent in the face of the allegations of others, as long as we call your expressions "frivolous", or exercise the coercion in the context of taxation..." I think people subjected to this rights violation should be furious and in a suing mood, don't you? (BTW, as an interesting side note, consider the limiting factor built in to the legitimate application of the 'frivolous return penalty" provisions, confining their application to those who are speaking not for themselves, and not as sovereign individuals in their own capacity, but on behalf of someone else, and as a legal duty, not an elective act: 26 USC § 6671 - Rule for application of assessable penalties (b) Person defined The term “person”, as used in this subchapter, includes an officer or employee of a corporation, or a member or employee of a partnership, who as such officer, employee, or member is under a duty to perform the act in respect of which the violation occurs. The relevant speech of those within this specialized sub-class of "person" can perhaps be deemed outside the First Amendment's ambit. By this mechanism the "frivolous return penalty" is harmonized with the Constitution. By the same token, the First Amendment prohibition of government speech-violations against undistinguished persons means that the sub-class defined at 26 USSC § 6671 must necessarily be confined to those described in that definition, per CtC scholarship. If that sub-class were not so confined, but deemed to extend to any kind of persons other than those circumscribed by a "limited-expansion-only" construction of the definition, the "frivolous penalty" would be unconstitutional.) "Like a muddied stream or a polluted fountain is the righteous man who gives way before the wicked." -Proverbs 25:26

More Educated Americans Testify, Showing Why The Deep State Fears CtC "If the taxpayers of this country ever discovered that we operate on 98% bluff, the entire system will collapse." -Reported remark by an internal revenue service officer to Sen. Henry E. Bellmon (R. Okla.) on April 15, 1971.
"The Tax Code represents the genius of legal fiction... The IRS has never really known why people pay the income tax... The IRS encourages voluntary compliance, through FEAR." -Jack Warren Wade Jr., former IRS officer in charge of the IRS Nationwide Revenue Officer Training Program, in his book ‘When You Owe The IRS’ CtC-EDUCATED, AMERICAN HERITAGE-LOVING grown-up Joe Black shares his testimony here. Tom Romin shares his testimony here. Greg Sutton shares his here. Enjoy Robert Harvey's testimony here. Tom's and Greg's and Robert's words, like those of others here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here, and all those whose evidence has been shared here, are solid examples of why the Deep State fears CtC. It's this simple: If you study CtC you will know the truth about the tax. Further, you will know that you know the truth, beyond any doubt. ONLY CtC will give you that certainty, because CtC is exclusively and uniquely complete and correct, as can be seen by any of thousands of different acknowledgements of every possible kind, from this to this to this to this. Most telling, in its own way, is the government robotically resorting for years now to the strawman of falsely ascribing to CtC the ridiculous arguments that "wages are not income" and that only federal, state and local government workers are subject to the tax. This false ascription is then used as the basis for claiming the book is "false and frivolous"-- a lame and transparent dodge begging the question of why the state won't acknowledge what the book REALLY says and then attempt to dispute THAT. Once you know the truth revealed in CtC, acting in accordance with that truth WILL liberate you from being an ignorance tax serf. This, the deep state fears mightily. FURTHER, ACTING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THAT deeply-known truth can NEVER legitimately qualify as any kind of a "tax crime", or for any penalties or fines. This is not only because what CtC teaches about the law and the tax is technically and legally correct, but also because all tax crimes are crimes of "intent" and all penalties rest for their legitimacy on "intent". An educated filing in sincere accordance with what is known and believed to be true and correct cannot be lawfully treated as invalid, criminal or subject to penalty. Any effort by the state to claim otherwise is inherently corrupt. Nor can any accurate and truthful filing be overcome by any lawful means, which is why the state is so focused on forcing Doreen to declare that she doesn't believe what CtC teaches, with the openly-declared hope that her doing so would discourage other Americans from acting on what they also believe. LIKE HENRY BELLMON WAS TOLD, the "ignorance tax" scheme relies on bluff-- pretending that the truth is what the government suggests that it is (despite what the law and the courts and every other authority have actually been saying about it for 150 years). And like Jack Warren Wade, Jr. says, the scheme relies on fear-- doing everything possible to make people afraid to act on their scheme-shattering knowledge of the truth. In short, the "ignorance tax" scheme can only survive if Americans can be bluffed into not seeking out the truth, and if those who learn that truth can be discouraged from acting on that truth. But those who know the truth, and know they know the truth, cannot not act. Acting on the truth is a moral imperative, as well as a legal imperative. The undaunted actions of those who know the truth are "calls" against the bluff. Each "call" ratchets-up the spread of the truth exponentially and forces state acknowledgement of that truth, one way or another; and each such acknowledgment takes America one step closer to freedom from the 75-year state-unleashing, people-restraining "ignorance tax" scheme. And THAT's why the deep state fears CtC. "Be the change you want to see in the world." -Mohandas Gandhi
Post a comment on this article I HAVE DONE MY BEST to lead this country to liberty from the mis-applied income tax. I have labored hard. I've shed a lot of sweat, a fair bit of blood and more than a few tears. But I seem to be pretty poor at that kind of work, because... Right now, having just been forced to deliver my beloved bride to a prison camp, I'm bleeding pretty heavily. And yet, when I have asked all of you for what I firmly believe is a necessary resource to move the ball downfield and give my darling wife (and all the rest of us) the best chance at justice and an end to the assault on the rule of law-- simple testimonial videos requiring nothing from any of you but the phone in your pocket and three minutes of speaking from the heart-- I have had only a handful of people answer my call. I CAN'T KEEP GOING THIS WAY. I have to be able to turn my attention away from writing new persuasive or skepticism-addressing articles week after week, and toward research, analysis and educational presentations that will benefit everyone already in this community. I need time to do some suing, and to bring together the resources and talent toward that end. As said, it is my firm belief that your testimonial videos are the resource that I need to make big things happen, and they are unquestionably the thing I need to allow me to turn my attention away from trying to get horses to drink at the waterhole to which I have led them. Your words, in your great numbers and all in your own different ways, will do that better than anything I write possibly could. And yet, you are not providing them, even despite my having been asking you for them for many years now (I renewed my entreaties as a front-page item just lately, in response to the media skepticism over what has been done to Doreen, but I first posted my request for these something along the lines of eight years ago...). Therefore, with enormous reluctance, I am making portions of this website restricted access only. People have been urging me to do this for years now, telling me I should impose a charge to access my work-product, so as to enable me to keep producing. I have never been inclined to do so. I ask for donations, and will continue to do that, and if they do not come, then I will conclude that my work is of no value to anyone, and I will close shop. But I now WILL charge a special something for access to some key portions of that work-- testimonial videos, as discussed, described and demonstrated here. STARTING TODAY, SELECTED PAGES CONSTITUTING primarily "legal resources" pages will require passwords for access, and to get a password, I need your video. Similarly, if an email comes my way asking for guidance or assistance, it had best have a video attached, if I don't already have yours posted. I hate to play it this way, but I want to win. I'll tell you a story from when I was coaching my kids in soccer. Both of my kids at a certain age in their careers had run into a wall common to all but the very exceptional. They had gotten to be pretty good, and they wanted to enjoy the benefits of their hard work. But the arrival of this interest coincided with a new self-consciousness which made them reluctant to risk failing and looking foolish. So, they were hanging back from seizing the main chance when it appeared, and driving for the goal. My solution was to post on the wall of our dining room a couple of simple points about self-discipline, the chief of which is this: You can't score a goal if you don't take a shot. That's how it is here, too. If you don't stand up, you are laying down, and you'll never score that goal. Here is what my kids live by now, in their own version of that lesson. I hear it from them all the time as they excel (accompanied by the sound of a father's breast swelling with pride): Go hard, or go home. You, too. Go hard, or go home. Send those videos. Do I ask for a lot? I want your victories to post, your financial support, your efforts spreading the word, and your beautiful faces and inspiring words, too. It IS a lot. But I'll let Frederick Douglas explain: "Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation…want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightening. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters…. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will." Fear nothing but God.

Post a comment on this article Set a brushfire-- E-mail this newsletter to a friend What Makes YOU A Warrior For The Truth? We each have our reasons, and our story. It's time, and it's needed, for you to share yours with the world.
"The day we see truth and do not speak is the day we begin to die." -Martin Luther King, Jr. What does it for you? Is it simply because no moral and upstanding person has any choice when it comes to telling the truth over his or her signature, whether on tax forms or anywhere else?
Is it recognition of the critical importance of the rule of law, and the knowledge that if everybody leaves its caretaking to someone else, it will soon be lost to us completely?
Is it the money?
Maybe it's just simple respect for your own rights as a human being, who is not and cannot be not involuntarily subordinated to others?
Maybe it's just simple respect for your general civic responsibility to be the grown-up and enforce frugality and restraint on a big, powerful creature of our own devising which otherwise is like a badly-raised teenage boy given whiskey and car keys and let loose on the road to wreak havoc?
Or is it, perhaps, a more acute anxiety that if our bonfire of a state isn't damped, and quickly, it'll soon burn down the house around us all?
What IS it that firms up your jaw and stiffens your resolve?
It's time to take off the bushel and share your light!
I would like you to think about what it is that motivates you for a few moments (or all day, if you like), and then send me your thoughts. I want to put YOUR reasons to work inspiring folks who don't yet understand what this is all about.
In this day and age, the most effective way for you to share your thinking for the benefit of others is to video-record yourself talking about how you feel, and explaining what inspires and motivates YOU.
All you need is a webcam or cell-phone equipped with a camera. If you don't have, or know how to use, one of these, have a friend help.
If needed, write a little script for yourself. Better, though, to just speak extemporaneously, after spending a little time sorting out your thoughts and getting down into your heart. Perhaps make it a video of someone in your family, or a close friend, interviewing you.
Keep yourself to no more than 2 or 3 minutes, and keep in mind that the purpose is not to educate, but to INSPIRE, ENCOURAGE and ENERGIZE. Your video will be one of many to be shared.
You needn't feel any obligation to be profound, and you shouldn't try to explain anything about the law, other than to say that you have read it and you know it's on your side. You just need to be sincere, and uplifting. Your object is to make your audience want to have what you have, and to be where you are in your heart.
Keep in mind that you're speaking to an audience that doesn't yet know ANYTHING about the subject, and whose first reaction is, "This must be illegal; this must be dangerous; this is too good to be true." You want to pull that audience right past such things, and straight to a focus on truth, morality, and our American heritage of liberty and the rule of law.
Remember: INSPIRE, ENCOURAGE, ENERGIZE.
Speak about rights. Speak about morality, and the obligation of a grown-up and responsible person to speak the truth and to enforce the Constitution. Speak about everyone's duty to give to God what is God's, always, and to Caesar only what is really Caesar's. Speak of your obligation to respect yourself, and to look out for the current and future well-being of your children and your fellow citizens. Speak of CtC, and what its information has done for your understanding and resolve. Show the book.
If you have had victories, describe them. Better still, show them, if possible.
Be clear about just what you accomplished: EVERYTHING back-- Social Security, Medicare and all; a "notice of deficiency" closing notice; an on-paper agreement or acknowledgment that your earnings weren't subject to the tax and everything withheld or paid-in was an "overpayment"; a transcript showing all $0s; or whatever happened.
When you speak of state victories, name the state. If you had to overcome balkiness from a tax agency before winning any victory, describe that, too!
If you're in a battle now, speak of your resolve to uphold the law, come what may. If you haven't yet begun to act, speak of your decision to do so, and your plans.
Remember, your purpose is to INSPIRE, ENCOURAGE and ENERGIZE.
If you're dealing with ongoing balkiness, describe that, too, if you wish-- but be sure to explain why you're not discouraged, and why you are not standing down, not slinking back into the barn, and not choosing to endorse the lies.
Mention what you do for a living, whether you're a doctor, homemaker, lawyer, trucker, IT guy or gal, or a retiree or student. Help people understand that the company of grown-up activist Americans they are being invited to join cuts across all demographics and all interests-- with the common denominator being respect for the law and love of the principles on which this great country was founded.
This is your chance to get a LOT accomplished.
We've all had frustrating occasions of trying to explain all this to a friend, neighbor, family member or co-worker, only to pile up against the wall of a mind not yet ready to listen and learn. Here is your chance to address a self-selected audience of folks who have themselves decided that it's time for them to begin paying attention, and have clicked on your testimonial for exactly that reason.
Further, think about this: You want judges, bureaucrats, CPAs, lawyers, the HR people where you work, your pastors, your neighbors and everyone else to acknowledge the truth about the tax openly and straightforwardly. How and why would these folks do this if YOU won't? You want these folks to learn the truth. Why would they even recognize that there is a truth to be learned if you won't attest to having learned it yourself? You've got to stand up, face forward and chin up and tell these folks that you have studied and checked and verified and seen the evidence and seen the government evasions and you know that the tax is not the capitation that the beneficiary government wants everyone to think it is but a benign, but strictly limited thing, and that they need to study and learn that, too. Again, if you have victories to show, that's nice, and powerful, too. But you don't have to have victories to display in order to declare your knowledge of what the law says. I've never flown around the world, but I've seen the evidence and considered the arguments, and I'm not hesitant to declare it a sphere... Even those of you who haven't yet studied CtC have surely read this short document, and have verified everything in it for yourself. You should therefore be declaring its veracity and its message, loud and proud. Again, if you won't say it, how can you hope that others will ever even bother to look at the facts? Be the change you want to see in the world, or there won't be any change. So, please make anSo, please make and send those videos right away! You can share them with me via a cloud-based drive space like OneDrive.Live.com or GoogleDrive, or mail DVDs to me at 232 Oriole St., Commerce Twp., Michigan 48382, or even email to me if each file is no more than 20 megs (and you can break a video up if need be-- I can reassemble them). Render as .mpg or mp4, if possible; if not, send them how you have them and I'll make them work.
Remember, the restoration of institutional respect for individual rights and the rule of law depends on enough individuals insisting upon it. Do your part to let those starting to rub the sleep from their eyes know that there is a community already waiting for their fellowship with open arms and open hearts and shining spirits.
See how some of your fellow warriors for the truth have done their parts in videos sent over the years: Forrest Anderson, Brian Harriss, Joe Black, Jeremy Lee, Guy Placencio, Joe H., Robert Harvey, Kennard van Camp, Greg Sutton, Paul Eberle, Tim Kendrick, Christine Schrock, Brady Ness, Barry Sullivan, Brian Farmer, Greg Belcher, Patrick Hart and Ryan Latila, Abbott Morgan, Val Smithson, Sandor Bors, Erik Segelstrom, The Mystery Woman, Matt Zelina, Rod Schimdt, Tom Romin, Glenn H.f="https://youtu.be/P8pmhuwmgAc" target="_blank">Ms. B.

from Critical Inquiries for a New American Century
Bob’s Bicycles or Getting Free Of The "Income" Tax Scheme Is As Easy As Falling Off A Bike
To get an idea of how today's "income" tax scheme works, try this little exercise:
Think of the federal government as a guy named Bob, who lives down the street from you in a town that is really big on bicycles. Bikes get used for commuting, deliveries, shopping, etc.. In fact, other than walking, bicycles are the exclusive form of transportation in your town. Your neighbor Bob has a by-the-mile bicycle-renting business-- "Bob's Bicycles". Bob's Bicycles is far and away the biggest business in town. Part of Bob’s success is because he does a lot of contract business. However, Bob doesn't just get paid by riders who have signed an agreement with him, or even just those using Bob's bikes. Bob gets something every time anybody in town does any riding at all, through an odd combination of circumstances that took many years to come together.
Here's how it happened...
Bob's Bicycles was launched long ago by the great grandfather of the present Bob (Bob IV). Great Grandpa Bob started out not only with a main location for his contract business-- he also had the bright idea of setting up spots around town where he parked some of his bikes for use by the more occasional rider, on an "honor system". Anyone could take and use one of these bikes, but they were expected to keep track of their mileage, and send Bob a "1040 Mileage Ridden/Rent Due Form" (and the appropriate rent), periodically. The initial design of the form was like this:
I said that Great Grandpa Bob planned to deal with these occasional riders on the "honor system", and that's true. But he liked his money, too, and didn't want to miss anything that was due him. So, after setting up the "self-serve" locations, Great Grandpa Bob went around handing out "W-2, 1099 or K-1 Rider Reporting Forms" to every other business in town. The forms-- accompanied by notices that if Bob didn't get his rent from someone riding a bicycle in connection with any business, he would sue the company involved-- said:

A Few Tips For Making Best Use Of This WebSite
USE THE SITE MAP!!!
USE THE SITE SEARCH!!!
When directed to a page by topic or link, read everything.
I know that this can mean the investment of a lot of time, attention and effort, but although some may imagine otherwise, I don't write as much as I do because I can't think of any other way to spend my time...
Furthermore, when you encounter a hyperlink within, or associated with, the text you are reading, follow it!
It is pretty common these days for web-based material to be littered with hyperlinks. Sometimes the purpose is to provide definitions or examples, in order to ensure that folks reading the original material aren't presented with a word or reference which they don't understand. Sometimes the links lead to illustrations pertinent to the original text.
It is common-- and perfectly understandable-- for folks who are confident that they are familiar with language or references within the main text they are reading to get in the habit of skipping over included links. I do it all the time, myself!
However, I very rarely include links for definitional or explanatory purposes; and when I DO make a link out of text in one page it is generally to another self-contained page, rather than merely illustrative material. These other pages contain material the clear understanding of which I deem highly important for the proper and complete understanding of the original page. (Links to CtC, the Victories pages, CtC Warriors and so on are obvious exceptions to this general rule. On the other hand, a link to the victory Highlights or 'Every Which Way But Loose' pages, which might seem like such exceptions, are not. The special selection of victories on those pages, and the filed docs and tax-agency correspondences included therewith, themselves constitute highly instructive material which merits careful attention. Thus care needs to be taken in all cases.)/p>
Please make a habit of clicking on all provided links and at least looking briefly to ensure that the linked page is one with which you are completely familiar from another study session.
Finally, please keep in mind that, annoying though it may seem at first blush (but not, I trust, upon reflection), I constantly tweak material already posted. Obviously this doesn't mean that every page is in flux at all times, but it does mean that if you are directed to a page that IS familiar, it's worthwhile to read it through again if it's been a while since your last having done so.
