Btw, a copy of
CtC from anywhere except the link above may not
be a current edition. CHECK. It matters. Also, there
ARE no e-book, Kindle or .pdf versions of
CtC. Don't get taken in by efforts to sell you--
or even give you for free-- any such thing.

"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….."

So,
Here We Are At "Declaration Day"...
A "wake-up" call for today's real
American men and women.
DECLARATION DAY.
That is,
"NO MORE PARALYSIS Day"
"NO MORE DENIAL Day"
"NO MORE, "I DON'T DARE..." Day"
"NO MORE, "THE BAD MEN WILL NOTICE
ME SO I'D BETTER NOT!" Day"
"NO MORE, "I'LL WAIT FOR SOMEONE
ELSE TO GO FIRST..." Day"
In short, here we are at,
"GET OFF YOUR ASS Day"
"GET LOUD AND PROUD AND UN-COWED
Day"
I'm talking about,
"DON'T STOP 'TIL YOU'VE GOT LIBERTY
AND THE RULE OF LAW Day"
"FACE THE FACTS Day"
"NO TIME TO RELAX Day"...
MORE THAN ANYTHING, here we are at "PUT
ASIDE DELUSIONS Day" That's what the original
"Declaration day" was all about. It was the day the
American colonists finally acknowledged that the
people they had been entreating to respect their
rights actually didn't want them to have
their rights.
It was the day the American colonists
finally acknowledged that the government operatives
they had been petitioning and politicking and
lobbying and arguing with weren't misled or mistaken
or suffering from misunderstanding, needing only to
have things explained a bit better, or argued a bit
more authoritatively. Instead, as the colonists
realized and finally admitted by way of the
Declaration, those operatives were their
competitors. Those operatives were the
colonists' opponents. Efforts to persuade
them were pointless-- they admitted to no limits on
their power and had no interest in curbing its
abuse, which was being practiced for their
benefit.
IT WAS HARD for the colonists to reach
that epiphany about their government. Because states
exercise power (and partly also because they
maintain an elaborate apologia dedicated to
justifying that exercise as being for the good of
the citizenry, or at least the way things must or
are supposed to be), they come to be viewed as
virtual parents in the hind-brains of those subject
to that power. It is very hard for people to
recognize and acknowledge that actual Mom and Dad
are bad people. It is nearly as hard for people to
recognize that the state under the influence of
which they have been raised is corrupt and
malicious.
But of course, sometimes Mom and Dad
are indeed bad, and states usually are. And while
Mom and Dad can and often do become remorseful, and
proceed to reform and redemption, states are
institutionally-incapable of remorse. The only
remedy against a bad state is taking away its power.
Eventually, after wasting all that time and effort
on petitioning, politicking, lobbying and arguing,
the American colonists admitted this truth on
Declaration Day and said, "No more talking-- it's
time for walking!"
Bless them for abandoning their
child-like view of the state and becoming grown-ups
at last.
IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN if we modern
Americans are equally deserving of blessings. We
should be up to the task; after all, we have a much
easier row to hoe than the colonists did.
While we, too, must adopt a grown-up
understanding of the true character of the dangerous
servant against which we have been wisely warned,
our state is already bound down by the written law,
thanks to the blood and sacrifices of our ancestors.
All we have to do is recognize that the state is
constantly struggling to escape any limitations
placed upon it by that law, and to suppress and
marginalize anyone revealing its bad behavior and
anything showing how it can be put back into its
chains.
Particularly, we have to recognize that
the biggest and most important limitation put upon
the state concerns its ability to take resources
from individual citizens for its own use. It's this
simple-- the one who controls the disposition of
property is the one in charge.
Because it is so important, for decades
the United States has been engaged in the
cultivation and exploitation of myths about what
limitations are placed upon it in regard to resource
acquisition. Sadly, for most of those decades most
Americans have fallen for the fictions.
Chief among these state-serving,
people-harming myths is the truly absurd proposition
that our grandparents amended the Constitution in
1913 to authorize the state's exploitation of their
resources at its will, in defiance and rejection of
the previous tax-limiting Constitutional rules under
which the American people had become the freest and
most prosperous in the history of the world.
THIS IS A MYTH! It never
happened, and even the premier organs of the state
itself have said so endlessly-- but quietly, so as
to preserve the on-the-books harmony of the law
while allowing the state (and its clients and
cronies) to ruthlessly exploit anyone who doesn't
know to look and remains in ignorance.
See the proof that this is a myth at
losthorizons.com/The16th.htm. Read the 1916
Cornell and Harvard Law Review articles on the
Supreme Court's unanimous conclusions about the
Sixteenth Amendment. See what Department of Treasury
experts admit about the income tax. See what the
Supreme Court continues to say about the amendment
and the tax over the decades. Learn the real history
of the tax and its antecedents.
Then go
here and see how the state has been struggling
to keep you from knowing any of this.
After you take these two enlightening
little excursions, recognize that every single
person or institution that would lose prestige,
power or profits by acknowledging the truth about
the tax can be expected to lie about the subject if
queried, as will every interest that sees itself
benefitting from the existence of a mammoth state
(which might even include those who make their
living complaining about the mammoth state, or the
supposed evils of the income tax). Every one of
these are today's equivalents of the invested
promoters and defenders of the "divine right of
kings" myth that kept people enthralled and
exploited in the colonists' time.
But also recognize that now knowing the
truth, the power is in your hands. The
responsibility is, too.
Rise to deserve the blessings of
posterity.
Make this year's "Declaration Day" real
by making it a personal Declaration Day-- a
day of resolution to act on behalf of liberty and
the rule of law.

TODAY (July 2) BEING THE ACTUAL
DECLARATION RATIFICATION DATE, and the Fourth of July on
which we celebrate the Declaration of Independence
being this week as well, I'm very
happy to share the great victories linked below. These
concrete expressions of dedication to the Founders'
plan for America are the only fireworks going off in
the country today which accurately symbolize what
we're supposed to memorialize and honor at this time each year.
As you'll see in the documentation at the bottom of
this page, every one of these refunds has been thoroughly vetted by the
government before being issued, and all have issued even while the
government has striven mightily to suppress the knowledge of the law
by which these claims are made.
CLICK ON ANY LINK to visit the page on which you'll
find the announced victory of the liberating truth over
state-encouraged misunderstanding. There are typically twenty or
more posted on each page, so you may have to scroll
to find the one you're looking for.
Watch for links in any text associated
with a check or notice-- many of these victors have provided their
complete filing for posting, as well. About two thirds of the way down this list
you will find audio and video testimonials from a few of these good
folks, as well.
THE HONOR ROLL
Real victories for the rule of law and the restoration of the
Constitutionally-limited republic by real American grown-ups who
know that if you're not standing up, then you're standing down.
EACH OF THE WONDERFUL VICTORIES at
which you have just looked, and each of the hundreds
of thousands of others of which they are examples, constitutes another critical step toward
the restoration of
the Founders republic and the true rule of law.
In the aggregate, these victories are
also incontrovertible proof that
CtC really and truly has revealed a long-running
government scheme to systematically misapply the
benign and thoroughly-limited income tax-- from
which anyone who wishes it can be freed-- and that
anyone who disputes this fact,
no matter
who or
what they may be,
is a moron, or a liar, or both.
BTW:
Don't you wish your victories were proudly
posted, too?!
Donald Trump Has Handed The
CtC Community A HUGE Opportunity
However, urgent immediate action is required. Please don't let this gift slip away, people!!!
ON TUESDAY, JULY 3, Donald Trump leaked
his "short list" of nominees to replace retiring
justice Anthony Kennedy. On the list is Raymond Kethledge, who is distinguished
from the rest of the pack by having revealed himself
on paper as an oath-breaker and a clever, committed enemy of the
Constitution.
In March of 2016, Kethledge spat squarely on the First
Amendment-secured right to freedom of speech and the
Fifth Amendment-secured right to due process.
Kethledge did this by affirming, with the most
corrupt and contorted rationalizations, Doreen
Hendrickson's engineered conviction on an unprecedented charge
of criminal contempt of court for refusing to make
court-ordered sworn declarations that she believes
in the truth of government-dictated,
government-serving, false testimony.
KETHLEDGE'S RULING IN DOREEN'S APPEAL
was obviously in defiance of what may be the most
well-settled law in American jurisprudential
history. Just in the last five weeks alone, the
Supreme Court has twice held squarely wrong what Kethledge contrived to approve in a lickspittle
service to the "ignorance tax" scheme that Doreen's
husband has laid bare and is steadily disintegrating
into a dust-heap, with the help of tens of thousands
of brave, law-respecting activists across the
country.
For instance, in the ruling last month
in Masterpiece Cake Shop, Justice Thomas says,
“[O]ne important manifestation of the
principle of free speech is that one who chooses
to speak may also decide ‘what not to say’ ” and
“tailor” the content of his message as he sees fit.Id., at 573 (quoting Pacific Gas & Elec.
Co. v. Public Util. Comm’n of Cal. , 475 U. S.
1, 16 (1986) (plurality opinion)). This rule
“applies not only to expressions of value, opinion,
or endorsement, but equally to statements of fact
the speaker would rather avoid.”Hurley,
supra, at 573. And it “makes no difference”
whether the government is regulating the “creati[on],
distributi[on], or consum[ption]” of the speech.Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Assn. , 564
U. S. 786, 792, n. 1 (2011).
...
The Colorado Court of Appeals also
erred by suggesting that Phillips could simply post
a disclaimer, disassociating Masterpiece from any
support for same-sex marriage. Again, this argument
would justify any law compelling speech. And again,
this Court has rejected it. We have described
similar arguments as “beg[ging] the core question.”Tornillo, supra, at 256. Because the
government cannot compel speech, it also cannot
“require speakers to affirm in one breath that which
they deny in the next.” Pacific Gas & Elec.,
475 U. S., at 16; see also id. at 15, n. 11
(citing PruneYard, 447 U. S., at 99 (Powell,
J., concurring in part and concurring in judgment)).
States cannot put individuals to the choice of
“be[ing] compelled to affirm someone else’s belief”
or “be[ing] forced to speak when [they] would prefer
to remain silent.”Id., at 99.
Masterpiece Cakeshop, Ltd. v.
Colorado Civil Rights Comm’n,
584 U. S. ____ (2018) (Emphasis added.)
In the same month (that is, just two weeks ago), the
Supreme Court
again states this endlessly-upheld black-letter law:
The California Legislature included in its official
history the congratulatory statement that the
Act was part of California’s legacy of “forward
thinking.”App. 38–39.But it is not forward
thinking to force individuals to “be an
instrument for fostering public adherence to an
ideological point of view [they] fin[d]
unacceptable.”
Wooley v. Maynard
, 430 U. S. 705, 715 (1977). It is forward thinking
to begin by reading the First Amendment as ratified
in 1791; to understand the history of authoritarian
government as the Founders then knew it; to confirm
that history since then shows how relentless
authoritarian regimes are in their attempts to
stifle free speech; and to carry those lessons
onward as we seek to preserve and teach the
necessity of freedom of speech for the generations
to come. Governments must not be allowed to force
persons to express a message contrary to their
deepest convictions. Freedom of speech secures
freedom of thought and belief.
National Institute Of Family And Life Advocates,
dba
Nifla, et al. V. Becerra, Attorney General Of
California, et al, No. 16-1140 (2018) (Concurring
opinion) (Emphasis added.)
Not only does Kethledge display contempt for speech
rights and due process, but he is willing to make
utterly absurd arguments in defiance of Congress, as
well. Unable to defend the orders made to Doreen as
lawful, Kethledge simply rules that the lawfulness
of an order is not relevant to a contempt charge,
even though Congress plainly says otherwise:
A court of the United States shall
have power to punish by fine or imprisonment, or
both, at its discretion, such contempt of its
authority, and none other, as--
(3) Disobedience or resistance to its
lawful writ, process, order, rule, decree, or
command.
18 U.S.C. 401(3) (Emphasis added.)
Despite the unmistakable language of the statute
(and directly contrary rulings of his own circuit), Kethledge
says that "lawful" is not an element in a contempt
charge. He rules that someone can be
convicted of this charge even for resisting an
unlawful order, that "lawfulness" needn't be proven,
and that a jury instruction reading:
"It is not a defense to the crime of contempt that
the court order that the defendant is accused of
violating was unlawful or unconstitutional."
is valid.
Frankly, no
one in his or her right mind would want this
creature as judge of a potato-sack race, much less
on the US Supreme Court for the rest of his life.
SO, WHY IS CONSIDERATION OF RAYMOND
KETHLEDGE for the Supreme Court a gift to the
CtC community? It's simple.
Interest in
the contest for the next Supreme Court justice is
intense and universal. EVERYONE takes an
interest. EVERYONE will be interested in anything
aired about any nominee or "short list" candidate.
Because wide swathes of the American
public will be interested in whatever is revealed
about Kethledge, wide swathes of Americans who would
never learn the truth about the income tax (due to
not knowing that there is actually something to
learn) will expose themselves to it anyway. They
will do so in the course of taking in Kethledge's
defilement of his office and his contempt for the
First and Fifth Amendments and for Congress (not to
mention for the most rudimentary principles of
justice and government limited by law).
IN SHORT, by putting Raymond Kethledge
on his "short list", Donald Trump has provided us
with a unique, very-narrow-window opportunity. It is
an opportunity to introduce a whole lot of otherwise
unreachable people to the liberating truth about the
income tax revealed in
CtC.
Trump has also provided the American
people with a very rare opportunity to punish a
completely corrupt federal judge. This is something
a lot of folks completely outside the
CtC
community have dreamt about for decades, every one
of whom will enthusiastically magnify our own
efforts to put Kethledge's crimes-- and the
CtC truth they were committed to suppress--
on the front page.
Re-tweet, re-post, "like"
and share all my posts on this subject. Do the same
for everyone else's.
Flog everyone you know in the community
into action. Don't imagine that they will have seen
this post. Sadly, many in the CtC community are very
remiss about reading newsletter posts-- even special
ones like this. I probably can't reach them. You
maybe can, and need to do so RIGHT AWAY, with the
sense of urgency and enthusiasm for the opportunity
which I am attempting to communicate to you here.
Keep efforts to explain what was done
by Kethledge (or to Doreen, or why) to a minimum--
let my posts do that. Your job is to get people to
those posts.
BE A DAMN
HURRICANE until Kethledge is
dropped from consideration. The window in
which we can make use of this unique opportunity
won't last past that point, and its like may never
come again. This community must seize this
opportunity with both
hands, and our teeth, as well.
Those who don't dig in at times like
this don't deserve to win.

A Pair Of Old And Useful Windows On
Current Events In The Middle East
Reaching into the past for information
thwarts the agenda of present-day "fake news"
mongers.
IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY EXPERIENCE that
one of the best ways to shield oneself from the
effects of propaganda is to look to sources of
information from before an issue became someone's
cause, or before the spin war began, or became
sophisticated, or became self-referential and
self-sustaining. Early information is unspun and far
more likely to be accurate.
In that vein, I would like to share two
older documents regarding places and people in the
Middle East, in the hope that they might help
support clear thinking about the present-day
situation insulated from what has long been a
ferocious disinformation campaign attempting to gain
control over the future by exercising control over
what people are to believe true about the past. What
value these docs may have will be up to each reader.
THE FIRST DOCUMENT I'M OFFERING is a
transcription I have done of an excerpt from a
Geography text by the prolific, very widely-read and
very well-respected historian journalist and
polymath
Hendrik Willem van Loon written in 1932 and
describing the population distribution and general
demographic character of what was then Palestine and
is now Israel. Find it
here.
The other doc presenting an historical
perspective on the same subject is a declassified CIA
"Information Report" on Israel and the Arab states
from March 18, 1949. I downloaded the report in 2008, but, interestingly, have
been unable to find it on the CIA website during revisits
in more recent years.
The quality of the doc, which is
apparently a scan of an ancient type-written report,
is abysmal. Nonetheless, it can be made out with
some effort, and I have provided a helpful
transcription.
The document contains interesting revelations about very
early events after the 1948 violation by Jewish
settlers of the
United Nations
Partition Plan for Palestine which had been
designed pursuant to Great Britain's
1917 Balfour Declaration concerning the
establishment of a national home for the Jewish
people in a part thereof (which contained the
specification that "nothing shall be done which may
prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing
non-Jewish communities"). They are worth the trouble. Find
that report
here.
FINALLY, I HAVE LONG ENCOURAGED the
reading of a very well-written and comprehensive
history of 20th-Century Middle-East events written
for the Cato Institute by Sheldon Richman, which can be found
here. I recommend it again, after the other two
documents have been taken in.
Students of the subject might also be
interested in the comments
here and
here.
"A well-instructed people alone can be
permanently a free people."
WHAT'S LEFT IS MERELY THAT many American governments-- which
are
compelled to acknowledge the three facts above when
invoked by someone who has read
this book and therefore knows how to do so, as
indisputably proven
here,
here and
here--
don't want American citizens to know these three facts, or
how to invoke them. This is proven
here and
here.
And that's the whole of the
rubber-hitting-the-road legal and practical truth
about the tax! All that's left out is how to put
this information into effect against
the scheme that
has exploited widespread ignorance about it for the
last 80 years. For that, direct your student to
CtC.
Teach it to everyone you know. If they pooh-pooh it
that's fine. You will have planted a seed. Walk away
with a smile and try again with the next person.
Some soil is immediately fertile, some needs time to
soften up before the seed works its way in and takes
root.
AT THE SAME TIME that you teach those you know
personally, send
this short, 7-page brief to every
lawyer, law professor, and law student that whose
contact information you can find. Send it to every
CPA you can find, and every judge, every tax agency
worker and every HR department worker.
Send
this article to every journalist, reporter,
editor and pundit you can reach.
Never forget that these are all Americans, too, just
like you. They are just ignorant, not stupid, and
for the most part, not evil, either. Some of them
will look and learn.
The NOT-Smiling But Still Very Earnest Afterword
ONE OTHER THING NEEDS TO BE SAID. The
obvious implication of the historical and legal
FACTS (not theories) presented above is that should
anyone acting in conflict with these
facts-- be it a revenue
department worker, a government attorney, a
legislator, a
judge or a tax-return filer--
that person would be committing a
crime.
To construe (or administer) the tax in
any way contrary to what is presented above is to
participate in the imposition of an unapportioned
capitation. Unapportioned capitations are
expressly prohibited by the Constitution.
Thus, the crimes committed by anyone construing or administering, or enabling
the construction or administration of the income tax
in any way contrary to what is presented above are
not only statutory violations of one kind or
another. In every case these crimes amount to
subversion of the Constitution, as well.
Such crimes are not academic.
This isn't a game, and what's going when the income
tax is misconstrued or mis-administered isn't
the reflection of a mere disagreement.
Misconstruction and mis-adminstration of the income
tax, in defiance and subversion of the
Constitutional prohibition on unapportioned
capitations, is a coup being
attempted against the American people. It's serious
as a heart attack, and should be taken that way.
"As nightfall does not come at once,
neither does oppression. In both instances, there's
a twilight where everything remains seemingly
unchanged, and it is in such twilight that we must
be aware of change in the air, however slight, lest
we become unwitting victims of the darkness."/p>
-United States Supreme Court Justice
William O. Douglas
Over the years I have posted dozens of
debunks of dozens of similar packages of nonsense,
as can be seen
here. These debunks are thorough and
dispositive. Continued promotion of any of them can
only be seen as the deliberate sowing of
disinformation and discord.
These endless injections of distracting
and misleading gibberish (whether obvious gibberish
or subtler gibberish that actually gives a surface
impression of harmonizing with, or even
supplementing
the truth about the tax) serve-- either
deliberately or mindlessly-- to keep the community
out of focus and disunited in purpose. Thus, this
community is rendered a blunt instrument at best,
where a razor-sharp stake for the vampire's breast
is needed.
Thus, the weight brought to bear on
that stake, whatever the condition of its point, is
light when it ought to be-- and needs to be-- crushingly
heavy.
IN LIGHT OF ALL THAT I want to say something really brief
and really heart-felt: Just as much as the corruption of certain despicable government
"officials", my beloved bride suffered imprisonment
in 2015, 2016 and 2018
because of the promoters and purveyors of the kind
of horseshit of which I speak.
If not for those dis-unifying
distractions, the truth about the tax-- fifteen
years now in circulation and with an endless
mountain of
evidence and
authority behind it-- would have won the day
over the "ignorance tax" schemers long ago. We would
likely even have restored the republic overall, by
now.
Either way, it is beyond question that
in an America in which the truth revealed in
CtC were as widely known as it would be without
these hindering distractions,
no federal court
could have accomplished the crimes needed to put my Doreen
in prison.
Nor would anybody else be facing
any resistance or official misbehavior in regard to
the tax, for that matter.
SO, HERE IT IS, BALDLY, as I feel
compelled to say it today: Are you a purveyor of
supposed income-tax-relevant material that does not
appear in my work? Then you are a purveyor of
poison, and you are my enemy.
A simple way for everyone to get a lot
done, fast, that no one is doing.
SO, MONTHS AGO I posted the following
on this page (and it has remained here ever since):
IF EVERY STATE GROUP (or anyone else) were
to devote some time and effort
to scheduling and hosting presentations of
this video to CPA and legal firms, a whole lot of
good could be done in a very short order.
The requirements are simple. Book an hour
with the chosen firm, with the understanding that all
professional staff will be assembled for the presentation.
A thoughtful introduction should make this inexpensive
and easy.
Explain that all you are asking for is
an opportunity to show a video in which some facts about
the income tax are revealed on the basis of which tens
of thousands of Americans have recovered $billions from
the IRS and three dozen state tax agencies over the
course of more than 14 years now, by way of a quarter
of a million claims made with the tax agencies, and
even in the face of agency resistance of several different
kinds.
SOME FIRMS MAY SHOO YOU AWAY, certainly.
But some will not.
Arrive at the appointed hour in a group,
dressed business casual or better and groomed for church.
Have your most articulate, persuasive speaker take the
lead, but all be alert and attentive, sending out a
calm, confident and positive vibe.
Understand and communicate with your demeanor
that you are not there to debate anything. Rather, you
are there to show these folks things they don't know,
and need to know.
Bring a big monitor, speakers and a laptop
with which you can access the video. Rehearse and be
able to make your connections and be up and running
in moments with no fuss.
Play the video. Hand out printed copies
of
this document to everyone in attendance. Thank your
audience for their time and attention, and take your
leave.
When out of sight, clap each other on the
back for an important job well done and head out for
your next appointment (or to a nice group meal to celebrate,
compare notes and plan your next activist outing).
NOW, I DON'T THINK ANYONE CAN SAY that
this program is too difficult. And I can't imagine
that anyone would argue that there is no chance of
some serious good being done if any given individual
or group in a "tax profession" saw that video and
read that document.
But I haven't heard from ONE person
that has undertaken to do this.
II hear from all of you all the time
telling me about how hard it is to get through to
the people you try to introduce to CtC's liberating,
republic-restoring revelations. So I go to the
trouble of writing wake-up paper after wake-up
paper.
I even do a power-point of a
seriously-revealing, seriously comprehensive but
still short and accessible compilation and arrange
to be filmed presenting it, so that YOU will have it
as a tool for the kind of activism I explain in the
simplest, most "Insert tab "A" into slot "B"..."
fashion. And what happens?
Nothing.
It's a shame. You can't score the goal
if you don't take the shot, my friends.
"It does not take a majority to prevail...
but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting
brushfires of freedom in the minds of men."
DON DON LA VIGNE, a long-time warrior
and real American grown-up, shares a nice and inspiring
testimonial on what
CtC has done for him for over nine years now:
*****
"Like a muddied stream or a polluted fountain
is the righteous man who gives way before the wicked."
-Proverbs 25:26
"A nation of sheep begets a government
of wolves."
CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE how abysmally
stupid someone would have to be to continue to doubt
or deny that
CtC has revealed the actual, complete and insurmountable
truth about the income tax in light of the overwhelming
mountain of
historical,
legal,
practical and
logical evidence to the contrary? (Not to mention
the
outright lies and even
ludicrous hoaxes the executive and some corrupt
members of the judiciary have been caught at in desperate
efforts to conceal the truth...)
Plainly any such denier must either be
abysmally stupid or be an abysmally corrupt government
official or other person who sees him or herself as
benefitting from the lies about the tax by which America
has suffered for 75 years now.
Isn't this true?
I HOPE NOBODY OUT THERE is tolerating
a single
CtC denier anywhere within the "tax honesty" or
"activist" communities. Such people-- and they are definitely
out there, flogging their pet
tin-foil-hat theories-- are the millstone around
the neck of the rest of us, keeping the truth about
the tax from getting the audience it needs in order
to bring about the transformation of the American landscape
which it is uniquely capable of doing.
Nor should anyone be tolerating denial,
either implicit or explicit, by any lawyer, accountant,
journalist, judge, elected official or bureaucrat. "Denial"
by any of these types is collusion and corruption, or
rank cowardice at best.
MORE, DENIAL OF THE OBVIOUS AND STATE-RESTRAINING
TRUTH ABOUT THE TAX might have a sinister aspect, as
well. The State, whose growth and power are made possible
by the lies about the tax which the deniers enable,
is the mechanism by which some exercise control over
others through the application (or credible threat)
of violence.
The bulked-up State, in short, is the means
by which some rule others. The larger the State, the
more successfully it rules, and the more easily it can
brush aside or overpower Constitutionally-based objections
to its edicts, exploitations and abuses.
I don't personally imagine a long-running,
deliberate and closely-controlled effort to subjugate
the American people. I discuss this in the "Interlude"
portion of
CtC, as many of you will recall, where I argue instead
that the only large-scale and long-running "conspiracy"
in America is a soft one-- a coincidental conspiracy
of interests.
In my view America suffers from Adam Smith's
"invisible hand" in reverse: the evil effect of many
individuals unwisely entrusted with too much power who,
in using it to look out for their own interests individually,
work a massive harm to society.
But the growth of the State unquestionably
serves to create the tool by which deliberate subjugation
could be accomplished. Indeed, the overgrown State made
uniquely possible by the misapplication of the income
tax is the ONLY means by which the American people could
be subjugated.
And who knows? Maybe I'm wrong in my view,
and those seeing a darker picture are right.
Warrior Rick Van Camp recently shared with
me a few words from that darker perspective which ends
with a key point that is just as cogent whether you
see Leviathan growing among us for the one reason or
the other:
In 1913 Woodrow Wilson stated:
“Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s
views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest
men in the United States, in the Field of commerce and
manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that
there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle,
so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive,
that they better not speak above their breath when they
speak in condemnation of it.”
And this continues today. When
opportunistic liars like Al Gore can make hundreds of
millions from outright lies and manipulation of Science
while producing a "carbon footprint" of at least 100
people, when a treasonous dog like Obama can plot the
overthrow of an elected President in Public and get
away with it without a whimper from the so-called Press,
or the Congress; when tens of millions of "Americans"
can vote for a continuation of nanny-state entitlements
while allowing their children to be indoctrinated by
those who would continue them as children, when a once-proud
and independent people submit reflexively to a militarized
State army of (now armed) bureaucratic functionaries
who grope their women and young daughters in airports
and soon bus and train stations, invade their homes
on the slightest pretext (more than 50,000 SWAT raids
last year) and terrorize, injure and sometimes murder
innocents...
That organized, subtle and
watchful power is HERE, among us, and in your face.
And YOU pay for it.
YOU PAY FOR IT. That's the big point.
If you're a
CtC denier, it doesn't matter whether what's going
on is grayish or pitch-black-- either way, YOU'RE PAYING
FOR IT.
I don't mean, "You're paying the price,
sweetie". I mean YOU ARE PERSONALLY FINANCING WHAT IS
BEING DONE TO YOU AND TO YOUR CHILDREN AND TO THIS WONDERFUL
COUNTRY. And you're doing so voluntarily, and in most
cases, simply because you refuse to learn or accept
what
CtC has revealed. In a word, you're daft.
And as for "official" and "professional"
CtC deniers, you're the ones keeping the lie
going to which the daft succumb. There's a word for
that, too. Despicable.
"It is impossible to calculate the moral
mischief, if I may so express it, that mental lying
has produced in society. When a man has so far corrupted
and prostituted the chastity of his mind as to subscribe
his professional belief to things he does not believe
he has prepared himself for the commission of every
other crime."
-Thomas Paine
***
LITTLE BIT OF A P. S. on this article:
I have to cut a pass to a lot of folks out there not
yet embracing
CtC and acting on its revelations to help transform
America. I'm talking about the huge majority of folks
who have never heard of any of this, or who have only
seen the lies and smears and pretenses of "official"
resistance to
CtC (such as are discussed
here,
here,
here and
here).
These folks effectively serve as weight
on the deniers' side of the scale-- and also finance
the Beast-- because I haven't been able to get my videos
or other liberation information to them. I'm talking
about your Uncle Jerry (or Aunt Sally, or Junior, or
your buddy Sam, or whoever).
I haven't been able to get my liberating
information to these folks because I DON'T KNOW THEM.
I have no contact info, and I wouldn't know the best
way to speak to them, even if I did.
YOU have to speak to these folks, and introduce
and share the material. Think about it. When was the
last time you forwarded one of my videos around to
everyone in your
address book?
Do you not do it because you don't think
your family, friends and acquaintances would be interested?
You're wrong. In 2016 62,979,879 Americans voted
for Donald Trump in the hope that he would restore the
republic. Plenty of people are interested in freedom
and the rule of law.
In aIn a minute you're going to watch Arron
Reeves' wonderful video on his awakening to the truth
about the tax, and what that means to him. Are you going
to share it as widely as the next Kardashian video will
get shared? I hope so.
It is because that DOESN'T get done that
"official" deniers get away with it. I want you to think
about that.
Do you want to get to where you don't have
to file claims for the return of your property at all,
because it never got diverted in the first place? That
will happen the moment that my videos get a million
viewings in a few weeks like some do, instead of struggling
for a year or more to reach a few thousand. It won't
happen before that.
The "official" deniers can control a slow
burning fire. Our fire has to get vigorous, and
only you can make that happen.
An old joke, but in regard to this deceiver,
not a laughing matter at all.
““When principles that run against your
deepest convictions begin to win the day, then battle
is your calling, and peace has become sin; you must,
at the price of dearest peace, lay your convictions
bare before friend and enemy, with all the fire of your
faith.

Trolls Against The Truth: A
Dis-Information Campaign
UNLESS YOU'VE LOOKED, you can have no idea
of the volume, intensity and mendacity deployed in the
government's efforts to discourage Americans from learning
what is revealed in
CtC. It's truly astonishing.
A lot of folks are aware of the show-trial
events in which my wife and I have received state-engineered
public beatings meant to scare people away from the
truth about the "ignorance tax" scam. But many are unaware
of the overall campaign. This is a shame, really, because
a focused propaganda effort like this one is a very
powerful acknowledgement of the significance of
CtC's revelations.
While the majority of Americans do not
yet know how
CtC protects them from the vampire state, the vampire
itself certainly does. Dis-information campaigns like
this one make that very clear.
FORMER CBS REPORTER SHERYL ATKISSON describes
some aspects of this sort of dis-information campaign
in the following video. Despite the annoying preliminary
15 seconds or so of advertising, her presentation is
very much worth watching:
(H/T to Greg Belcher for finding
and forwarding this great presentation.)
Losthorizons.com is one of those websites specifically-targeted
by the corrupt interests at Wikipedia described by Atkisson.
The behind-the-scenes folks at that site won't allow
links on their pages to anything posted at
losthorizons.com, nor even just text corrections
of misinformation in their pages about the income tax.
That's the least of it. Click
here for some specific discussion of the enormous
scare campaign that's been actively spreading false
information in hope of discouraging legitimate media
attention, as well as men and women simply seeking the
truth about the tax and liberty from the scourge of
the "ignorance tax".
PLEASE GIVE SOME SERIOUS THOUGHT to the
fact that YOU being secure in your own freedom rests
on others learning the truth as well, and recognize
that it falls to you to help overcome the dis-information
campaign. Post and share
your videos;

and debunked
here; and widely (and frankly, impatiently) share
this page,

book to disconnect the phone and the TV for an afternoon

Doing these things will be what makes it
happen, Cap'n.

DEREK CUSHMAN HAS POSTED a powerful presentation

CtC designed to discourage more Americans from reading

the tax:
Watch it and share it, folks. This film
will help a lot of people who have been taken in by
the lies understand how they've been manipulated, and
prompt a proper desire to learn the truth about the
tax.
Well done, Derek!
P.S. If there were a thousand videos out

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:
Why the media is silent about the astonishing
13-years-and-counting history of government acknowledgements
of the accuracy of CtC's revelations and its simultaneous
efforts to keep Americans from knowing about those
revelations.
Why educating more Americans about
the true history and actual provisions of the income
tax is the most important thing that anyone seeking
to restrain the state and restore the republic can
do today.
Why "tax honesty gurus" stay mum about
CtC and its unprecedented accomplishments in freeing
people from improper application of the tax.
Why hunkering down in every-man-for-himself
silence in the face of statist and fascist assaults
on the rule of law leads to greater harm than what
is hunkered-down against; that is, how fearful behavior
just strengthens the thing feared.
How much better it is to encourage
(and practice) bravery, honesty and openness than
to counsel (and succumb to) fear, lies and concealment.
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.
Submit to the regular (non-encrypted) address
found
here, as an attachment to an email.

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 Don La Vigne shares his testimony
here. Tom Romin shares
his testimony
here. Greg Sutton shares his
here. Enjoy Robert Harvey's testimony
here. Don's, Tom's and Greg's and
Robert's words, like those of others that can be found
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.
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.
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.
When I have asked all of you for what I
firmly believe is a necessary resource to move the ball
downfield and give all 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. This,
despite my having been asking you for them for many
years now.
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 charge fees
for access. 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.
SELECTED PAGES CONSTITUTING primarily "legal
resources" pages now 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 at spreading
the word, and your beautiful faces and inspiring words,
too. It IS a lot.
But I'll let Thomas Paine explain:
"Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered;
yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder
the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we
obtain too cheaply, we esteem too lightly. Heaven knows
how to put a proper price on its goods; and it would
be strange indeed, if so celestial an article as freedom
should not be highly rated.”
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.
Dress "business casual". Be well-groomed.
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 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, many of which are posted
here.

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, ______________,
rode a Bob's Bicycle a total of _____ miles
this year.
At Bob's rental
rate of $.15 per mile, I owe Bob $______
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:
You Can’t Fight Well When You Don’t Know
What You’re Fighting About
If you are having an argument
with the IRS or any other tax agency,
You are NOT being presumed to have made “corporate
profit”.
You are NOT being alleged to have received “foreign
income”.
You are NOT entangled in an invisible “adhesion
contract”.
You are NOT being obligated by a law whose subject
is never identified.
You are being targeted because REAL EVIDENCE exists
that YOU PERSONALLY HAD “INCOME” to which the revenue laws apply--
even though that evidence is almost certainly incorrect,
and CAN be corrected.
CtC WARRIOR SanDiegoScott has put together
a great little 20-question quiz to test your knowledge of the law
regarding the United States "income" tax. Test yourself, test your
friends and family! Test your accountant and tax attorney, and help
them learn the liberating truth!!
"Never must thou take up a false cry, or join hands
with the guilty by giving false witness in their favor. Never must
thou follow with the crowd in doing wrong, or be swayed by many
voices so as to give false judgment; even pity for the poor must
not sway thee when judgment is to be given."
-Exodus 23:1-3
Doing A Little High-Payoff Math
IF EACH PERSON receiving this newsletter each week distributed as
few as 100 of any of
the great outreach tools featured here to co-workers, friends,
neighbors and family members (or just strangers on the street, in
the mall, etc...), we could have SEVERAL MILLION new Americans
suddenly introduced to the liberating truth about the tax!
Just like that! In one week!
C'mon, people, let's roll on this!
“Most of the important things in the
world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when
there seemed to be no hope at all.”
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.
