"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….."
Btw, a copy of CtC from anywhere except the link above may not
be a current edition. CHECK. It matters.

I'm Hoping No One Is Letting The 9/11
Nonsense Settle In...
...despite the wall-to-wall eyewash meant to make
that happen.
GOVERNMENT PROPAGANDISTS rely on the loudness of
their voices and
on endless repetition. But no matter how loudly shouted and how
endlessly repeated, propaganda is still manipulative deception
of its target audience.
Keep in touch with the facts, and be the
well-educated listener who hears the subtext and recognizes the
implication of deceit-- that it is an admission of inconvenient truths
which the
lies are meant to conceal.
The Effort To Compel False Returns Has Been Abandoned
At the same time, the petty and spiteful "ignorance
tax" schemers are insisting that Doreen be slapped around in the
dungeon a bit more for her Jeffersonian heroism.
"IN MATTERS OF FASHION, swim with the current. In
matters of principle, stand like a rock." So says the author of
the Declaration of Independence, the fundamental instrument of
law in the United States of America.
My wife Doreen has stood like a rock, even when
tear-streaked and trembling in the face of the poisonous
corruption that struggled to compel her cooperation in its
effort to shore-up the "ignorance tax" scheme on which Leviathan
feeds. What an American hero this woman is!
What an inspiration and example Doreen is for our children,
(one of whom is fittingly named Thomas Jefferson Hendrickson-- a
perfect thought that popped into Doreen's head like an
Independence Day firework going off while we were kicking around
names for our soon-to-arrive son).
What an inspiration and example she is for everyone!
THE BACKSTORY ON DOREEN'S ORDEAL is simple. The
ignorance tax scheme is 100% reliant on widespread belief in
myths about the history and legal structure of the income tax.
CtC punctures those myths by showing what REALLY happened,
and what the law REALLY says.
The ignorance-tax schemers have only ever had a
single resort to
CtC-educated Americans: the lame assertion that,
"So-and-so can'treallybelieve that stuff [ladies and
gentlemen; your honor; whoever]. EVERYBODY knows that [yada,
yada, yada...]"
What nominal official resistance there is to
CtC-educated filings--
including the kangaroo-court affairs involving Doreen and
me and
the FRP-hoax efforts to which a few educated filers have
been subjected-- relies on challenges to the sincerity of
anything said or filed by the educated American. No actual
dispute of the facts or
CtC's revelations about the law is attempted.
Even the
recently-exposed appellate falsifications of the reigning
Supreme Court decision on the meaning and effect of the
Sixteenth Amendment and the nature and limits of the income tax
are not exceptions to the rule described above. In fact, these
amazingly mendacious rulings are actually the most extreme kind of admission,
being efforts to evade
CtC's
revelations
by flat-out deceit.
Lies are the homage paid by corruption to the
truth, and are probably the most easily-accessible demonstration
of that truth possible in matters such as those involved here.
What a wonderful gift those lies are to the
CtC-educated, law-upholding community, and what a
blessing that these mendacious judges were made to feel
compelled to make them! The Lord really does work in mysterious ways His
wonders to perform!
DOREEN'S ORDEAL BEGAN with just such an evasion.
After having abandoned
a series of failing efforts in 2004 and
2005 to suppress
CtC
by enjoining its publication on the grounds that it contained
incorrect information about the tax (and thereby admitting, as a
matter of law under Rule 41(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure, their inability to dispute
CtC's revelations), the schemers turned to a bogus
"lawsuit" in 2006.
The suit was contrived in order to create a
fraudulent judicial ruling in 2007
written by a DoJ attorney (who was proven, years later while
under oath in Doreen's trials to have
lied over and over in the
course of the affair). The "ruling", bearing the
signature-stamp of a judge
before whom no human being ever appeared, and containing
other "findings" proven by
later admissions by that judge to be
fraudulent, alleges it to have been miraculously "found" (by a
study of pig entrails or some other kind of scrying, apparently) that Doreen (and I) don't
believe what we say on our freely-made,
CtC-educated returns for
2002 and 2003 (that is, had filed "false returns").
Merely "finding" us insincere wasn't enough in this
case, though. The object of this unprecedented (and
never-repeated) legal theater by the DoJ "ignorance tax"
defense-unit was to end up with some kind of "evidence" that
Pete Hendrickson himself doesn't believe what he says in
CtC.
Toward this "shore up the myths by compromising the myth-buster" purpose, the contrived ruling includes an order that
Doreen and I (who had filed joint returns) actually repudiate
and replace our educated returns. We were ordered to create
"amended returns" declaring, under oath and without disclaimer,
that we believe all our earnings qualify as some form of
'income" subject to the tax.
IN 2013, WITH NEITHER OF US having made these false
returns, Doreen
was indicted on a charge of "criminal contempt of court".
She was likely picked for this abuse on the notion that she
would be an easy target for having no deep personal knowledge of
the tax or law generally.
It might even have been imagined that Doreen had
been dragged into all this
CtC
stuff reluctantly, without her heart behind her words, and
compelling her to say words other than those to which she had
already sworn wouldn't be difficult. Let's remember that people
who themselves are without principles keep their inescapable
self-loathing bottled-up by imagining that everyone else is the
same... But Doreen, bless her All-American heart, put the lie to
these liars and their sick, sociopathic delusions and their
utter disdain for the law.
TO BEGIN WITH, this utterly-inexperienced
then-60-year-old housewife, whose sole legal exposure was
watching Judge Judy (on her kitchen TV while busy preparing
always-amazing meals-- my Doreen is a seriously-talented
scratch cook...), took her first trial to a hung jury. This,
despite defending herself, and against a specialist team of
highly-experienced DoJ prosecutorial assassins flown in from
Mordor-on-the-Potomac to chastise this upstart from flyover
country for her temerity at standing on her right to control the
content of her own expressions.
But that amazing difficulty in cheating their way
to a "victory" over Doreen in a two-against-one courtroom was
the least of the misjudgments the "ignorance-tax" schemers had
made of her.
You see, the charge and trials were always just
means to an end. The real goal was those false returns.
Having gotten their conviction by hook and by
crook, these scum figured they'd now have no problem getting
what they were really after. Accordingly, at Doreen's
sentencing they smugly offered her more time to pursue her
appeal before reporting to prison if she would just create the
false returns. Surely, facing certain punishment otherwise, she
would cave, right? THEY would...
As Tom Paine eloquently observed, thinking about
just the kind of bottom-feeders attacking Doreen,
"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."
But this was the second big misjudgment of my
excellent wife. This woman is the polar moral opposite of
these corrupt thugs. Nothing in the world is going to make this
woman lie, and especially not over her own signature.
Wait though-- the villains had a fallback plan of
assault on Doreen's integrity and self-respect.
The fallback was to have the sentencing judge
hold Doreen for a year of supervised release once out of prison.
Inserted into the provisions of this supervised release was a
"special condition" requiring her to-- you guessed it-- create
the false returns. Doreen was ordered to do this within 60 days
or go back to prison.
Surely (the villains must have reasoned at the
sentencing when sticking this little black-hearted backstop in place),
surely after a near 16-month "taste of the lash" this woman
wouldn't be so full of sass and disrespect for her betters,
right? Surely, her will would fail and she would do what
THEY would do in the same circumstances, right?
Uh, no. Doreen's iron will and bottomless well of
integrity disappointed no one except the criminals struggling to
get her to lie for their evil purpose of creating a fake means
of discouraging more Americans from learning the liberating
truth in
CtC.
Having gotten to the very end of her supervised
release period, Doreen has stood her ground, like Jefferson's
righteous rock. And, though she now faces a final bit of petty
and spiteful slapping around so "the system" can save a little
face, her ordeal has reached its final chapter.
This past Friday the villain's last shot was taken
with a hearing on the allegation that Doreen has violated the
conditions of her supervised release. (My sincerest thanks to
Rudy List and John Dozbush for being there to show support for
Doreen).
The circumstances
involved were quirky, and Doreen had good cause to argue that
even though she hadn't created the false returns she had
nonetheless not violated. But in the end (as had apparently been
scripted to begin with) the judge found her guilty
of that charge
However, it appears that even the judge involved in
Doreen's trials and sentencing has had enough of the whole ugly
business. (She had, in fact, had given reason for thinking this
early-on during the supervised release period.) Maybe--
no one will ever know-- the filings of
this and
this played a part, too...
In any event, despite finding Doreen guilty of
continuing to view her unalienable rights as being of greater
consequence than the wishes of her servant government, the judge
sentenced Doreen to the minimum possible range of punishment
available under the guidelines. This, despite the DoJ asking for
the maximum.
More importantly (and more telling of the
sea-change that has taken place somewhere or in someone), the
command for the creation of the false returns that all of this
ordeal was all about from its beginning more than ten years ago
has finally been abandoned.
Doreen must suffer another four months of prison,
but when she walks out on the last day of that abuse, it's all
done. No supervised release, no special conditions, no further
demand for lies.
Doreen has stood like a rock, and the waters have
broken around her.

ED FROM PENNSYLVANIA shares a refund of a local mis-application
of the tax:
***
And VINCENT AND SHELLY T.'s (quirky) notice of
their latest victory for the rule of law is now posted:
I say quirky because this notice declares
only a victory-in-progress.
Vincent and Shelly's claim was for the full amount listed in
this notice ($17,026). The IRS acknowledges that the couple
received no "wages" or "income" under any other name (and
refunds the normal tax accordingly), but is still taking a shot
at keeping the FICA surtaxes collected from them, even though
those also only arise upon the receipt of "wages" everyone
agrees were not received...
It's a shame that bad apples in the IRS sometimes
make things difficult for good people like Vincent and Shelly.
But of course, no sensible person expects liberty to always come
easily.
ANYWAY, HATS OFF to Emily, David, Ed, Vincent and
Shelly!
These good Americans have all stepped up and acted
to restrain the dangerous and corrupt state and uphold the rule
of law, something desperately needed from everyone.
Emily, David, Ed, Vincent and Shelly's victories
join those of the tens of thousands of other awakened and
activated Americans represented
here, and constitute more critical steps toward the
restoration of
the Founders republic and the true rule of law.
Don't you wish your victories were proudly posted,
too?
*I don't really know the exact numbers of these
latest posted victories, only that they are likely to be at a
minimum somewhere in the neighborhood indicated, and actually
likely to be a good deal higher. See
this for the calculation factors, which you can apply for
yourself.
I assign the numbers as I do in the title of this
post in order to make a point-- whatever the exact numbers are,
they are enormously large, and represent a hugely important and
utterly unique sustained series of events in American history.
And yet, the vast majority of Americans KNOW NOTHING WHATEVER
ABOUT IT.
How can this be? Doesn't ANYONE reading these
newsletters and familiar with these events know a journalist?
The degree to which this all goes unremarked just
boggles the mind. I hope and pray that this silence, this
muffling of the liberating truth, ends soon, and I ask any of
you that can help to please do so.

THE VIDEO OF MY JULY 16 PRESENTATION on judicial
fraud to conceal the true legal character of the income tax is
posted here.
Everyone should see it and share it like crazy.* It is hugely
powerful and WILL successfully educate even the most stubbornly
skeptical and disengaged.
Video of the Q&A session that followed that
presentation can be seen
here;
this is also a "must see".
*Here's a sample formulation for sharing:
The American people have been victimized by
massive and sustained corruption in the federal
judiciary in order to fuel the ambitions of the Deep
State. See the incontrovertible evidence at
https://youtu.be/105GKdmJ9HU.
This enormous harm can be remedied, but the
path to that solution begins with widespread awareness
of the problem. Please watch the film yourself, and
please pass this wake-up call along as widely and
urgently as possible.
NOTE: If YOU
haven't shared
this film with any given judge, prosecutor or
attorney, he or she will not have
ever seen any of the information presented. He or she
will not only know nothing of the truth about the tax, but will
believe the untruths about the tax which the falsifying
officials exposed in the film (and in the text treatments of
the same material
here and
here) have been peddling on behalf of the "ignorance tax"
scheme.
Don't make the mistake of imagining that "they all
know the truth, and are part of a giant conspiracy against it."
This is not true.
Most of those folks have never seen even a single
one of the authorities you have seen in these presentations.
They never knew there was a reason to look for them.
Certainly none of them have never seen this material
knowledgeably assembled and presented.
YOU have to show it to them. If you haven't done
so, assume that no one has.

"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."

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. Last autumn 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 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.

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

specifically-targeted by the corrupt interests at Wikipedia
described by Atkisson. The behind-the-scenes folks at that

losthorizons.com, nor even just text corrections of
misinformation in their pages about the income tax.
That's the least of it. Click

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

is discussed and debunked
here; and widely (and frankly, impatiently) share

disconnect the phone and the TV for an afternoon and get

that program. This site is safe, as can be seen by going
here.
Please share this info with others in your own
address book so it gets around-- obviously those suffering
the ill effects of this defect in Comodo won't be able to
see it here themselves until they go into their firewall
settings and manually whitelist
losthorizons.com.
ALSO!!! Please
go to the trouble of sharing the email you got alerting you
to this new newsletter posting with as many people as
possible.
Over the course of time the ISP I use (Yahoo)
is periodically put on "spam" blacklists. If I do a sending
of newsletter announcements during such an interval, my
address can get tagged that way, too, and my email can then
end up disappearing into spam folders in the email systems
of what are actually newsletter subscribers. Unless told to
look for them and whitelist mail from @losthorizons.com,
some of these folks won't ever know that this has happened.
Pasted below are some how-to guides for several
of the more popular email programs. Yours might be listed;
if it is not, these steps might guide you through doing the
whitelisting anyway, since there will be basic similarities
among programs. Failing that, your program's "help" files or
online info should be able to walk you through the
whitelisting process.

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.
BTW,
CtC Warrior Greg Sutton has just had a good
educational/inspirational article published
here.
In Passing... Three cheers for Russia, which
has stepped up to join Iran in aid of its long-time ally Syria
against the noxious "Islamic State" nutcases that have sprung up
like toadstools in the wake of the destabilization of the Middle
East by the noxious neocon nutcases running Washington for the
last 15 years.
More Educated Americans Testify,
Showing Why The Deep State Fears CtC
"If the taxpayers of this country ever
discovered that we operate on 98% bluff, the entire system
will collapse."
-Reported remark by an internal revenue
service officer to Sen. Henry E. Bellmon (R. Okla.) on April
15, 1971.
"The Tax Code represents the genius of legal
fiction... The IRS has never really known why people pay
the income tax... The IRS encourages voluntary compliance,
through FEAR."
-Jack Warren Wade Jr., former IRS officer in
charge of the IRS Nationwide Revenue Officer Training
Program, in his book ‘When You Owe The IRS’
CtC-EDUCATED, AMERICAN HERITAGE-LOVING grown-up
Joe Black shares his testimony here. Tom Romin shares his testimony
here.
Greg Sutton shares his here.
Enjoy Robert Harvey's testimony
here.
Joe'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.
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.
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.
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.
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed
citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing
that ever has."
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 WarriorSanDiegoScott 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.
