"There are two distinct classes of men...those who pay taxes and those who receive and live upon taxes."
- Thomas Paine
C'mon! CtC can't be right! You're crazy!
If CtC were actually right,
it would mean the government's been concealing and denying the truth for years on end,
and everybody knows THAT would never happen...
(Edward Snowden, come home! It was all just a bad dream; there really is No Such Agency!)
Do you know someone truly steeped in the Kool-Aid?
I mean someone who finds it easier to believe that the far-better-educated, far-more-suspicious-of-government Americans of a hundred years ago were complete morons who granted authority to the state to take whatever it wished from themselves and their posterity than to imagine that they themselves simply misunderstand the true nature of the income tax? Even while knowing that their beliefs about the tax are derived entirely from the representations of those who profit from those beliefs (like tax bureaucrats and "tax professionals")?
Do you know someone like that? Shake them awake with the latest (fourteenth) edition of CtC!

-Samuel Adams
Wanted: Experienced Litigator(s) Looking
To Become As Rich As Croesus...
...while doing God's work and putting a smile on old Sam Adams. I'M FINALLY READY TO INTERVIEW LAWYERS for participation in the civil rights lawsuit of the century. The best applicants will be experienced in successfully suing United States officials, with a plus for experience in First and/or Fifth Amendment cases. A true love of liberty and respect for the rule of law, as well as a solid set of stones, are requirements. The case is simultaneously slow-pitch softball and uniquely challenging, with what I believe is the potential for a VERY high reward in several different senses of the expression. Anyone qualified and interested can click on the "contact" link at the top of any page at losthorizons.com to reach me. Those not already familiar with the case to be prosecuted can get a sense of it by reading this, but much more comprehensive materials on the issues involved will be furnished to serious applicants. To
those getting this who are not themselves qualified to
participate, I'll appreciate your forwarding this message to
anyone you can think of who might be. Care

The 'Watching the Watchmen Amendment' If you're not talking this one up everywhere and
helping generate a buzz, you don't really want liberty and the
rule of law... The So-Called "Alt-Media" Goes Zombie Come near these folks at your intellectual peril I HAVE TO DECLARE IT: What likes to call itself the
"alt-media" is actually just a pack of the walking dead-- oozing
puss and ripe to high heaven, shambling about looking for brains
of the living they can infect and destroy with their loathsome
disease. Harsh words, I know. But how else to explain the
complete failure of every single one
of these folks to report ANYTHING about the 100% unprecedented
CtC story? Understand, it's not for lack of knowledge. For
instance, Will Grigg, Lew Rockwell, Karen Kwiatkowski, Paul
Rosenberg, Paul Craig Roberts, Glenn Greenwald, Bruce Fein,
Robert Higgs, Tom Woods, Thomas DiLorenzo, Justin Raimondo,
William Anderson, Jacob Hornberger, Chick Baldwin, John
Whitehead, Butler Shaffer, Tom Englehardt-- all these folks have
been receiving Lost Horizons newsletters for well over a year.
Robert Parry, Robert Higgs, Edward Snook and a few others have
received them a bit less time, but for a minimum of several
months. That means all these folks, at least, are aware
that over the last 12 years the educated and activated
CtC community has recovered or retained
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS that prior to
CtC
would have been successfully seized from the productive
Americans to whom it really belonged-- including Social security
and Medicare "contributions". And yet somehow, this utterly unprecedented rolling
thunder of liberty expansion... this astonishing stand-up,
four-square muscle-flex of real American character... this
rock-back-slap-across-the-chops of the junk-yard-dog rogue state
about which these folks gripe, moan and warn incessantly has
gone completely unremarked. Here's the long and the short of it: I've produced
a "Restore the Republic" button that will do its magic as soon
as it's been pushed by enough American men and women. I've
presented it to these folks, but they're doing nothing, not even
so much as simply telling others about it. SIMILARLY, THESE FOLKS HAVEN'T SEEN FIT to post a
single word about the
equally
unprecedented assault on the First Amendment and due process
conducted by corrupt elements of that rogue state against my
wife, Doreen. This has been done in the hope of keeping
Americans from learning about those unprecedented victories for
the rule of law and how they came about, and has been an assault
so severe and unvarnished that the government was obliged to ask
that Doreen's jury be told it could not consider the
unlawfulness and unconstitutionality of the rights-gutting
orders she was charged with "criminally" disobeying. And yet, not a word from these so-called
journalists and commentators, despite the fact that several of
them specialize in stories of prosecutorial abuse and corruption
in the judiciary, and all present themselves as champions of
liberty and the rule of right law. There's some kind of ivory-tower analogy to be made
here, I guess, but a pretty dark and disturbing one. After all,
this can't be genuinely blithe disengagement. Instead, it's a
deliberate stonewall. OVER THE YEARS I've heard from a couple of these
folks the cheesy excuse of, "That's not my subject!" (meaning
the income tax). Well, frankly, widespread warrantless
surveillance wasn't their subject either, until Edward Snowden
revealed it, and since then most all of these folks have found
some way to make some mention of that issue. Besides, as I
mentioned a moment ago, the things involved here ARE "their
issues". Judicial corruption, prosecutorial abuse, curbing the
rogue state... these are all "their issues". The problem, I believe, is the fact that all of
this revolves around the revelation that the income tax is not
the evil forcible extraction these folks have all claimed it to
be for decades. Some are embarrassed by that, just because it
shows they've been wrong about something so important for so
long. Others find that revelation inconvenient to their own
anarchist views. When the problem is a failure of public
diligence rather than a failure of the Constitution, the
"anarchy is the only way" thing doesn't sell so well. There's a
reason none of these folks post this on their websites:
What a shame. It's hard to win when those who are
supposed to be your friends behave like your enemies, but that's
just how zombies are, I guess. Care

Another Batch Of Victories For America' True Heroes States only obey the law when people stand up to enforce it ROGER M. IS AN EDUCATED, ACTIVATED and dedicated American hero, standing on his feet to restore the republic and enforce the rule of law. Roger knows that liberty can't exist where the state is unconstrained by the law. Having learned the law controlling the taxing authority of his servant governments-- even the parts of the law which the state would rather he not know-- and having discovered that his activities and the earnings therefrom are not actually subject to the income tax, Roger invoked the whole law and recovered everything withheld from his earnings and turned over to New York in connection with that tax during 2014:
*** JOSEPH H. HAS ALSO LEARNED and applied the law. By way of this filing, Joseph has established that his economic activities were not of the excisable variety, and has reclaimed everything withheld from him and given to the United States during 2014 in connection with the tax-- Social security and Medicare extractions included:
Enjoy Joe's newly-posted video about this victory and his other efforts on behalf of the Founders' plan for limiting government at http://youtu.be/fgiCrQPQy-g. *** BRUCE AND NILA DAVIS have reached back a few years and corrected erroneous allegations (and admissions) about the taxable character of their earnings in 2011 by way of an amended return, having since learned the truth about the tax and its limits. The United States has flatly and unambiguously acknowledged the accuracy of their conclusions: *** AND PAUL B. HAS ALSO RISEN to his all-American grown-up feet and acted to enforce the law. This has special meaning for Paul-- as a military oath-taker, Paul is duty bound even more explicitly and deliberately than most to protect the rule of law from all enemies, foreign and domestic. Paul knows that when Americans enable a state's ambition to be free of the law's constraints, either by falling asleep at the wheel or by letting themselves be intimidated into inaction, the Constitutional design for liberty and the rule of law is in even greater danger than if the country were invaded by external aggressors. Paul isn't having it, not on his watch. By way of this filing Paul has enforced-- and thereby hugely strengthened-- the law. Paul applied the tax to his 2012 earnings where it is proper, and prevented it from being applied where it is not proper, resulting in this recovery two weeks ago of the majority of what was withheld from him that year and given to the United States in connection with the tax, Social security and Medicare extractions included:
DON'T YOU WISH EVERY AMERICAN was as responsible and upstanding as Roger, Joseph, Bruce, Nila and Paul? Think about what that would do for our once free and prosperous country, and re-dedicate yourself to spreading this file to everyone you can. Join me in celebrating and honoring these heroes of the republic (and all their fellows)-- real American men and women who know what it means and know what it takes to be free people enjoying the benefits of a legitimate rule of law. JOIN ME IN ALSO CELEBRATING American hero Paul Eberle for stepping up to the camera and declaring his resolution to act on behalf of the Founders' plan for the preservation of our liberty against the anticipated corruption of the state. See Paul's inspiring testimony here. Other testimonials can be seen here. Care to post a comment on this article? Set a brushfire-- E-mail this newsletter to a friend
I Stand With Doreen ARE YOU JUST LEARNING ABOUT the crime against your rights and the rule of law by means of a heinous crime by which Doreen Hendrickson is being victimized? Get up to speed with this and this, and this film: Free Speech On Trial: IRS v. Hendrickson (Find and share this on YouTube at http://youtu.be/IagZzFIIymw) The longer but much more comprehensive and question-answering backstory (the "why" history leading up to this unprecedented assault on the First Amendment and principles of due process) can be found here. There's a good article on Doreen's ordeal here. *** DOREEN'S ADDRESS: Doreen Hendrickson 48564-039, FPC Alderson A-4, P.O. Box A, Alderson, WV 24910. She would love to hear your encouragement, uplift, appreciation and solidarity. Anyone wanting to send Doreen a few dollars for her commissary account (with which she can get better food, soft drinks, clothes and other amenities) can do so by mailing a money order made payable to Doreen Hendrickson 48564039. Mail to: Federal Bureau of Prisons, Doreen Hendrickson 48564-039 Post Office Box 474701 Des Moines, Iowa 50947-0001
DO YOU NOTICE THAT MESSAGE ON THE T-SHIRT being worn by the lovely model of the 'I Stand with Doreen' care-bracelet? It reads, THINK. It's not illegal yet! But you know what? The charge against Doreen is an effort by the state to make it so. Doreen was charged, remember, with criminally-refusing to cede control of her expressions to the state. Now, I'll grant you that technically her thoughts would remain her own, but if the state can dictate what everyone says, then pretty soon that atmosphere of controlled expressions will result in first influencing, and then ultimately controlling what everyone thinks. If the State gets away with establishing the precedent that every written expression-- even just those on testimonial instruments-- can be required to echo the state's preferred view of things, the fate of free thinking and liberty is obvious (and it's not good). Think about it, while you still can. Would You Do It? (By the way, I would very much welcome videos of any of you or your friends, acquaintances or random strangers on the street answering this same question, which I would then incorporate into this film in order to make it even stronger.) Doreen's Principal Appeal Brief Has Been Filed You can find it at http://www.losthorizons.com/Newsletter/DoreenAssault/AppealBrief.pdf. I encourage everyone to download it and read it through. It's an easy read, and not nearly as long as it will appear from the page count. Many pages are taken up with non-argument uses, and the argument portions are double-spaced and wide-margined, meaning that it doesn't take much text to fill a page. You will see-- beyond any doubt, and completely contrary to the troll and wormtongue community that have been trying to spin Doreen's "conviction" into some kind of attack on CtC-- that the "conviction" of Doreen was only achieved by reliance on deep corruption to overcome the complete lack of merit to the government's case. As such, the prosecution of Doreen-- which IS meant to be an attack on CtC, or at least, on people's perception of CtC-- is actually an acknowledgement of the truth about the tax, as can be seen by the following simple reasoning: There is no valid case against Doreen. Yet the government proceeded with its "prosecution" anyway, deliberately taking a series of law-defying steps in order to contrive a "conviction". This can only have been done in order to try to make an argument that cannot be made on legitimate grounds. This is axiomatic. Deceit, evasion and corruption are only resorted-to when truth, forthrightness and integrity will yield unwanted outcomes. The outcome wanted here by the deceivers is the furnishing the trolls and wormtongues with a press-release saying that, "The wife of Pete Hendrickson, author of 'Cracking the Code' was convicted..." (Needless to say, no mention is made in such a release of the shenanigans by which the "conviction" was accomplished-- only a fraction of which are included in this brief due to length-limitation rules and a few other factors.) The hope is that you would be somehow discouraged from spreading the word about CtC's revelations, or find it more difficult due to having one more thing to have to explain and clarify to a skeptical listener. But this brief is the perfect answer to that corrupt effort at fog-generation-- from it you can distill a bullet-point list of what the government actually had to do to contrive this "conviction" that it wants your listener to believe is reason for them to not examine CtC. By this you can make clear, in a nice bit of intellectual judo, that the effort is really the best evidence that your listener really, really needs to study CtC and learn what the government is so fearful of him or her discovering. P. S. Anyone wanting to file an amicus brief in the appeal-- whether in vindication of Doreen's rights of speech, conscience and due process, or in pre-emptive defense of their own-- should contact Mark Cedrone via any of the various means listed in the appeal brief. *** ON ANOTHER, RELATED SUBJECT, I've had some inquiries about the status of Doreen's "Bond Pending Appeal" motion. You know, that's the one in which the DOJ slipped-up and tacitly admitted that it's purported hostility to CtC has always been a complete fabrication. Bond pending appeal is provided for by statute for anyone convicted and sentenced to a term of imprisonment. The statute, although having been steadily-held by lapdog-to-the-executive courts to have a presumption against release, provide for release upon a showing that the defendant is not a flight risk or danger to the community, and that issues will be raised in the appeal which, if they were to be taken as the defendant suggests they should be by the panel which will eventually hear the actual appeal (as opposed to the panel hearing the bond motion), would result in a different trial outcome or a reduction in the sentence to less time than the appeal will take. This is to ensure that someone not validly convicted or sentenced doesn't serve a sentence while waiting to learn that they should not have had to. In short, if a defendant can show she has substantial issues to raise on appeal, the bond motion is supposed to be granted. Axiomatically (and this is important to what follows), doubt about whether the defendant should be granted the bond stands in the defendant's favor (because remember, the panel hearing the motion is not deciding the appeal, only if the issues to be raised in the motion would have a chance of reversing the verdict or sentence, and if there is doubt about that, this means there is such a chance and the defendant should be released until the doubt is resolved). By statutory design, bond motions go the the trial court judge whose own "errors" are being complained of in the appeal, for the expected denial. Once that denial is issued, the motion can then go to the appellate panel, which is not supposed to have a dog in the fight. In Doreen's case, the trial judge sat on her bond motion for 32 days after it was fully briefed (25 of them after Doreen reported to prison and began suffering the sentence), and only issued a ruling (the expected denial) after being copied on a petition to the appellate court to have her ordered to make a ruling so the matter could be taken higher up the food chain. The appellate court sat on the motion after full briefing for 25 days (see the filings here, here and here), on most of which it was actually before the panel and under consideration (we checked). Despite that 25 days axiomatically indicating that substantial issues were recognized, the motion panel issued a denial on that 25th day. This is very disappointing, needless to say. Plainly the panel applied that "presumption against release" constructive standard of review and set the bar higher than is the case for the appeal itself (as is unfortunately typical in recent years-- prior to the adoption of that doctrine, release on bond pending appeal was fairly routine. Now it is very, very rare. SO, AS IT STANDS NOW, Doreen is stuck in captivity until next year. However, there is a possible hope from a different direction. Right now the momentum for reform of the outrageously abusive federal sentencing and imprisonment practices is very high. A lot of people have long recognized the evils of the feds' "lock 'em all up" mentality, which is a feature of its obnoxious and lawless "we can do no wrong" institutionalized narcissism coupled with its concerted effort to transform the legitimate legal structure of this country-- any power not granted to the state is withheld from the state-- into its dark and illegitimate opposite: anything not prohibited to the state is permitted for the state (and the state will "interpret" those prohibitions, too... So, calls for reform of a system that has the United States dramatically leading the world in prisoners per capita have long been out there, and right now, they are coming to fruition. Among the bills currently making their way through congress is one with provisions that would provide for the release to home confinement of non-violent prisoners of a certain age, a category in which Doreen squarely falls. Therefore, I ask everyone that cares to write their congresspeople and urge support and rapid passage for James Sensenbrenner's and Bobby Scott's 'SAFE Justice Act' H.R. 2944. ***
OF NECESSITY, I AM ASKING FOR HELP with Doreen's legal expenses. It is my experience that when the name Hendrickson appears on the caption, courts find themselves under pressure from their clients to creatively misunderstand arguments or authorities. Thus, my requests for oral arguments in the appellate court have always been denied whenever I have handled my own cases. I am sure the same would be true for Doreen. But I believe it is harder for the courts to refuse such requests when put by a licensed attorney admitted to practice before a given court. Partly for that reason, and partly to enjoy the benefit of his many years of experience and excellent quality of work, we have retained a lawyer I know well and deem to be an honorable man, and who is committed to working closely with me on Doreen's appeal. All his good qualities notwithstanding, though, Mark is not free, or even cheap. Thus, I am asking all those who can and care to do so to help as much as you can. Donations can be sent to Peter Hendrickson at 232 Oriole St., Commerce Twp., Michigan 48382. Mark "legal expenses" on the memo line or an accompanying note and you'll get back a specially-made "care bracelet" bearing the message "I STAND WITH DOREEN" and an icon of an American Eagle (pictured at the beginning of this commentary), which will help you engage in conversations with others about just what is going on here, and will ultimately become a treasured remembrance of your participation in important events, as well. WARRIOR BRIAN WRIGHT has set up a 'GoFundMe' account for legal expense donations from those preferring to contribute using plastic. Find his article and the link to the GoFundMe page here. *** MY HEARTFELT THANKS TO EVERYONE who has been helping get the word out to journalists. Here is the latest piece for distribution to news organizations (and my thanks to the most excellent Tim O'Brien for putting this one together). Here is the one calling for interposition by Michigan (which is still a viable issue, even with Doreen presently in custody-- the state can still make a presentation to the federal appellate court upholding the First Amendment and demanding that it be fully respected and obeyed in Doreen's case, which would result in her release and the dismissal of the outrageous charge against her). The entire backstory and drill-down on what went on in Doreen's trials can be found here. MY SERIOUS FRUSTRATION AND DISMAY to everyone who continues to fail to send the video testimonials I have asked you for over and over again. This is a collapse of dignity, self-respect and good sense that I am astonished to see in this community. Let me put this issue to you in a way that might resonate where my earlier entreaties have apparently not: 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. 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. Finally: Fear nothing but God. And God demands from you truth and the courage to speak the truth. As Martin Luther King Jr. said, "The day we see truth and do not speak is the day we begin to die."*** I HOPE EVERYONE IS TAKING THE OPPORTUNITY to raise the consciousness of their interlocutors with the "Why?" point when discussing what's being done to Doreen. Find some words on this point here. As always, the corrupt always go too far for their own good with their evil-- at least, too far for their own good if people like you and me make use of their excesses. Here, this can be done by helping others recognize that the degree of nakedness in defiance of the law being revealed in the assault on Doreen would only happen as a desperate effort to evade a very real threat to the vampire state-- a threat as unlike any other and as potent on behalf of liberty as the violations by the state in its efforts to evade that threat are unlike any others. ***

Media Evasion Of CtC Must End, Now Time, unfortunately, is on the side of the well-funded disinformation specialists
Are You Having Trouble Spreading The Word? SKEPTICISM (SOMETIMES INVOKED BY FEAR) IS TO BE EXPECTED when you're trying to explain to someone that everything they've been encouraged their whole lives to believe about something as entrenched and significant as the income tax is basically nonsense. So here's a way to help cut through the resistance: Ask your listener how he or she would react if you were to show an announcement from the Commissioner of Internal Revenue admitting that the tax doesn't apply to the earnings of most Americans and is misapplied most of the time because people don't understand how it works? Or how about if you showed a ruling from the Supreme Court saying the same? Now you just have to explain that you're going to show exactly those things-- but because the state really doesn't want people to know this, these things haven't been said quite as forthrightly as we would all wish. It's going to take a bit more work to take these admissions in than is sufficient for just reading a press release. But it'll be worth the effort... *****

There is little more important to the long-term health of America than how our children are educated..
There's only ONE source of accurate information, and you've got to READ IT FOR YOURSELF! LAST EDITION, I OPENED WITH AN ARTICLE about misconceptions out there about what constitutes a "CtC-educated return" and the unfortunate fact that a lot of folks who haven't actually read the book imagine they know what it teaches, having been misled to that effect by others. Here is the beginning of that article:
NOW, BY WHAT MIGHT BE VIEWED AS A SERENDIPITOUS COINCIDENCE (due to making this useful follow-up commentary possible), two days ago I received this email:
NOW, I'VE GOT TO SAY FIRST OF ALL THAT I very much appreciate this correspondent's inquiries about Doreen, and his prayers on her behalf. That means a great deal to me. But I've got to say next, "What book have you read, my friend?!" Red Beckman and Bill Benson haven't EVER taught "what I've been saying", and with all due respect to those gentlemen for what I'm sure are their good intentions, neither has a clue about the real nature of the income tax. SO, HERE'S THE LESSON from this unfortunate exhibition: If you think that what CtC has revealed about the tax and the law has been anticipated by ANYONE else in the past, or is understood today by ANYONE who doesn't just point his or her readers to CtC and this site and urge them to study here and nowhere else, and to purge their minds of anything they've ever taken in from anyone else on these subjects, you do not understand what CtC has revealed. I hate saying it, and realize it will buy me little but attacks and ill-will. But my interest in actually winning the battle of the liberating truth against the pernicious, people-enervating, state-unleashing lies compels me to say this plainly: Every Tom, Irwin, Joe, Chris, Devvy, David, Tony, Karl, Bob, Red, Bill, Larry, Sheldon, James and so on, and so forth, who has ever held him or herself out as a source of knowledge on the subject of the tax and related law has been (or still is) just sucking up energy that ought to be helping these folks push the stake sharpened by REAL knowledge of the tax and the law deeper into the vampire's chest. Further, everything said by those gurus will just keep a real student from acquiring real knowledge, and thereby real liberation. My correspondent, by showing he thinks Red Beckman and Bill Benson have said what I say about the tax, shows that he hasn't heard what I say. That means he doesn't know the truth about the subject, and is bound for trouble-- either continued enserfment by the misapplication of the tax, which he will be helpless to thwart, or worse, charges, penalties and seizures, which will be made possible, if not inevitable, by what will be his improper actions based on his inaccurate understanding. Don't let this be you. READ THE BOOK. YOURSELF. Don't EVER rely on someone else "explaining" it to you, and don't ever imagine it's just a inconveniently complex presentation of what someone else managed to put on a bumper sticker or a protest sign, that can be foregone in favor of the "simple version".
THERE'S ONLY ONE ACTUAL TRUTH
ABOUT THE TAX, and there's only one place to get
it. Start

Last Word
"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains set lightly upon you; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." -Samuel Adams, Architect of the First American Revolution
