"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
People, You're Driving Me Crazy! ...plus, an ironic govt. admission; new CtC videos; and a "common-law" con A FEW DAYS AGO I became aware of a bizarre issue hindering at least some penetration into media consciousness of the critically-important CtC story (including Doreen's ordeal as part of the "suppress CtC" effort by the state). It appears that the dimensions of the story are so extraordinary that journalists being given the information for the first time simply find it unbelievable. That is, journalists being presented with the CtC story do not accept that tens of thousands of Americans have gotten complete refunds of everything, Social security, Medicare and all. The fact that not only are a huge number of these events fully documented on losthorizons, but government officials have explicitly testified to these facts in court proceedings, doesn't change anything-- these journalists are so reflexively certain that it can't be true that they won't even go look at the evidence. The same is true of things done in Doreen's case. These journalists find so unbelievable the proposition that a federal judge would actually instruct a jury that it could not consider the unlawfulness and unconstitutionality of orders a woman was being treated as a criminal for resisting that they simply refuse to accept that it really happened. The proposition that a judge instructed a jury that it need not reach a unanimous verdict as to any act of offense alleged in an indictment in order to declare a defendant guilty also seems to these folks to necessarily be a hoax. Likewise the notion that a defendant was prevented from quoting Supreme Court rulings to her jury, and was the victim of a deliberate fraud by prosecutors in the final moments of a second trial after the first one-- unmarred by these latter two offenses (though still compromised by the unprecedented law-defying jury instructions)-- had ended in a hung jury. Even when presented with trial transcript pages showing these crimes (not to mention the underlying crime of the orders Doreen is accused of "criminally" resisting, with their multiple inherent Constitutional violations-- such as the one discussed here and here-- which made necessary that instruction to her jury about unlawfulness), skeptical journalists-- who are, like everyone in America, conditioned to harbor in the back of their minds the idea that people with fancy titles are presumptively wise, good and true-- think it must be a trick. Even the corrupt feds wouldn't go this far, right?! SO, HAVING LEARNED OF THIS REFLEXIVE DISMISSAL of what I and many of you have been struggling to get these journalists to notice, I asked all of you to help solve this problem. I asked all of you to produce and send to me for posting personal videos attesting to these extraordinary truths that the media automatically rejects as non-credible when simply declared by me in a press release or posted on losthorizons.com (as one journalist astonishingly retorted when presented with links to trial transcript excerpts showing the illegal jury instructions made in Doreen's trials, "Anyone can make a .pdf!"). Video testimony of you folks actually holding up your refund checks and talking about your experience with learning the truth about the tax from CtC cannot be dismissed as a hoax. Video testimony by you folks of what went on in Doreen's trials or her particularly well-attended sentencing hearing cannot be presumed to be mere self-serving assertions by a defendant's husband. Video testimony of your now-well-educated resolve to uphold the law on behalf of yourself and for the sake of future generations come what may, whether you have victories to show or not, will communicate the power of what the attack on Doreen is meant to suppress. This will give skeptics a necessary context and and help them understand what prompts the otherwise inexplicable crimes of which they are being told. (Guidance concerning content and character of these video testimonials can be found here.) IT WOULD SEEM THAT THIS IS really important, wouldn't it? There is a really compelling item of potential media attention here-- a dramatically-extended Constitutional violation, and judicial corruption such as has never been seen in America before (or never so well-documented and clear-cut, anyway, nor deployed as part of a twelve-year campaign to suppress research inconvenient to the state). And yet... and yet... sound of crickets chirping and nothing else... you've not done this. You are letting this uniquely-powerful opportunity to advance our critically-important cause of peaceful restoration of the republic through the simple expedient of insisting that existing law be obeyed as written-- a cause requiring nothing more for its accomplishment than that the actual words of the law become more widely known-- pass. I don't understand. Is it shyness? With the term "selfie" having become a part of our common vocabulary in recent years, and with half the American population maintaining virtual billboards of everything going on in their lives on "facebook" pages, I find that hard to believe. Is it fear of being noticed? This community is self-selected as a collection of Americans distinct from their less-fortunate fellows in their endowment of courage and commitment to self-respect and intellectual integrity come what may, so I find THAT hard to believe, too. Rather, I think that the problem is a failure to recognize that after all the years of trying to spread the truth about the tax (and about corrupt efforts by the state to suppress that truth) in the face of frustrating resistance by so many of our fellows, a unique opportunity to succeed is upon us. I ask you all to please give yourselves a shake. Recognize the opportunity that lies before you. Give it its fair chance by doing as I have asked you to do, without delay. BY THE WAY, I said no one had responded, but that's not quite true. One good man has done so, so far, and his excellent testimonial video should serve to help others see how simple-- and yet how powerful-- these testimonials can be. See it here. (Since this post went up May 2, another CtC Warrior has stepped up and testified; see that testimony here.) Other testimonial videos that have been provided to me at various times over the years rather than as part of this call to action, but which also might serve to inspire those needed now, can be seen here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here. *** I HAVE TO SUSPECT THAT a lot of people haven't yet seen the article here, since I've gotten far fewer comments on this pleasant acknowledgement than I expected. Perhaps this is because I added the article several days after first posting and announcing last week's newsletter. In any event, I recommend it to everyone's attention. It's a nice debunking of disinformation long-deployed by the anti-truth troll community to keep people from learning what CtC teaches in the first place, and to discourage those who have learned from sharing their victories. The success of the trolls in those two endeavors is the only thing preserving the "ignorance tax" scam at this point. It's nice when one desperate effort to shore the scam up (the assault on Doreen) forces the bad guys to unravel their other effort... *** A NEW SHORT FILM I JUST MADE on the origin of the tax can be viewed here. My interview with Ethann Fox of CCN, which originally aired on April 25, is now posted here. *** ON ANOTHER NOTE, I want to thank all those who have gone to the trouble of offering advice and recommendations. I believe all such are sincerely meant to be helpful, and I deeply appreciate every such effort. I am compelled to respond in a blanket way to one variety of advice and recommendations, though. This is in part because I cannot easily afford to budget the time to respond individually to every email of this sort (the volume of which has been high), and also because the response I have to make is, I believe, worth treating as an article here on its own merits. The advice to which I refer is the variety in which the correspondent asserts that what is being done to Doreen is only taking place because she has either failed to fire some silver-bullet or another (such as refusing to "consent" to something, or rebutting that she is a "trustee" of something, or speaking some other magic words) or because she has DONE something that secretly and without any knowing intention of her own has allowed all of this to happen to her, and had she done otherwise, the evil state and all its corrupt designs would have been thwarted and left to gaze in helpless frustration as Doreen went about her business unmolested. As much as I love the commitment to what is right of those who offer these nostrums, and respect and appreciate the earnestness with which they are presented, these notions are all mistaken and misled. Further, these notions are actually dangerous, because focus on notions of this kind will preclude productive focus on the actual battleground, while at the same time nurturing abysmally bad habits of research and analysis. As I said in response to one of these earnest emails recently: Xxxxx, I understand all that you say here. I think you simply don't understand the realities of which you speak. In June, armed men came to our home with a battering ram and took my wife away in chains. This had nothing whatever to do with her "speaking" or not speaking, or her "acceptance" of the role of "defendant" or anything else. Your notion of a "common law" remedy to Doreen's situation is uplifting, but it is also a fantasy. The procedure you advocate has never once been deployed and resulted in the vanishing of federal criminal charges against anyone, and it never will. I hope you have tried hard to find hard evidence contradicting that assertion. If you actually have found some, I am salivating to see it. If you have not (and I know you have not), you should face that truth. Understand that I very much appreciate your wanting to help, here. I believe you to be sincere, and I love you for this effort. But until you can show me evidence of this ever even once being successfully done, I cannot sacrifice any more time to this than it takes to write this email, and you should waste no more of your own time and energy expounding these notions. The response I got said this: Pete, One of the Common Law gurus, having read the sentiments you have expressed, said: "The Legal Society is not going to put 'man kicked our ass' on PACER. " My reply: Xxxxx, those pushing nonsense always say, "Of course there's no evidence! The MAN won't allow any evidence." What a convenient escape! And what nonsense. To begin with, "the MAN" hasn't been able to stop a mountain of evidence of the correctness of CtC from accumulating, so that "you'll never be able to see the evidence" proposition is plainly empty. Further, even without the contrary example of CtC, that claim is manifestly nonsense particularly within the context of courtroom proceedings. "The Legal Society" is never in exclusive control of what gets into the public record, or can. Anyone can bring his or her own legal reporter into a hearing and walk out with his or her own certified transcript, and frankly, even just courtroom observers can produce affidavits attesting to everything that occurred in a proceeding. What's more, many jurisdictions allow recording devices. Further still, even if these other things were not true, if this notion were sound, the prisons would be empty. Even if "the man" WERE able to suppress all evidence of the success of this approach merely "in the record", do you really think it would not spread like wildfire anyway? Every one who did it would be known to others. Those others wouldn't need to see transcripts-- they would know personally that Joe Smith had been indicted, arraigned, etc., and yet here he is, on his way for a weekend in Vegas. Those others would then do what Joe had done as the need arose, and there being only six degrees of separation throughout all of society, in a matter of a very few years the prisons would be empty. These notions have been around for decades, and yet, the prisons are not empty. This is harmful, distracting nonsense, and the "guru" pitching it to you is doing you, and the real effort against corruption and on behalf of the rule of law, great harm. EFFORTS TO INVOKE COMMON-LAW PRINCIPLES and practices (such as the common-law grand jury activism currently gaining steam across America) are good and virtuous and deserving of everyone's support. And there IS a definite distinction between when and where statutory law properly holds sway and where it does not. But the notion of silver bullets are always fantasies, and dangerously-distracting fantasies at that. When you hear them being promoted, move on. You're in the presence of a snake-oil salesman. *** DAUGHTER KATIE has posted a generic letter that everyone can customize for submission to his or her own state and federal public servants on behalf of justice for Doreen and the security of everyone's rights. Find it here. Post a comment on this article ***** 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’ 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

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. Everyone's failure to step up and fulfill this simple request is really getting to me, now... "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.
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!
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.
So, please make and send those videos right away! 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 here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here.

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.)
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.
