The Lost Horizons News

A Huge Opportunity Is Being Missed!

The bad guys hand us weapons, but no one is using them.

ALTHOUGH FEW REALIZE IT, the chief thing keeping people from learning CtC's revelations are lies posted around the internet and injected into the minds of legal professionals, CPAs and others. These lies include things like, "CtC-educated filings are subject to "frivolous return" penalties." "Hendrickson was convicted..." "Hendrickson's wife was convicted..." "Courts have ruled against what CtC teaches...'

Assertions like these are all outrageous misrepresentations, of course. They make me imagine 17th century assertions from the pulpit that because Galileo was found guilty and punished by Church officials in connection with his astronomical observations and conclusions, those observations and conclusions must be wrong (and he must be a Very Bad Man, too).

These misrepresentations have their most harmful effect on the media, keeping those in that business from paying attention to what actually is the most remarkable and important story any journalist will have seen in his or her life. As a matter of professional practices, these folks go straight to "official sources" when first impelled to look into things like CtC, and get the eyewash at full strength.

HOWEVER, AS OBNOXIOUS AS LIES ALWAYS ARE, they are also always two-edged swords, available to the thoughtful and diligent for making deep slices into the backsides of those who purvey them. This is because revealed lies serve as powerful expressions of the truth they are meant to conceal.

For the last two-and-a-half years I have been assembling exposés of many of the lies relied-upon by the "ignorance tax" schemers to turn people away from the only exit from their matrix. These exposés, which debunk the misleading assertions mentioned above, are the most effective tools-- weapons, really-- that any of us will ever have with which to add weight to the stake already inching toward the vampire's breast.

The exposure of lies which have been resorted-to in the circumstances of this lot is powerfully-persuasive evidence of the truths they were meant to conceal, even to people unwilling to learn about those truths directly!

Here is a selection of exposures, in no particular order:

Lies about a statutory text to secure a bogus scare-crow conviction
Lies about some statutory definitions to secure a bogus scare-crow conviction (enjoy a little independent commentary on this one by Warrior Rob Terry here)
Lies about a then-ten-year-old event to secure a bogus, scare-crow conviction, and then a second batch of lies about the first batch
Lies about the content of CtC
Lies about "lawfulness" being an element of a criminal contempt charge
Lies to secure a bogus scare-crow civil judgment
Lies about Supreme Court jurisprudence informing CtC (the video version is here)
Lies about the "frivolous return position" list

USE THESE WEAPONS OF MASS INSTRUCTION, PEOPLE!!

Get really familiar with these lies and then be creative. Write articles and posts referencing these tools and explaining their significance. Fill the internet with a million points of light fueled by these ugly little points of darkness.

Remember, teaching others the accurate truth about the tax is JOB ONE!!! Nothing else will lead to victory of the Leviathan vampire, and the victory to which it will lead will seem a near paradise compared to the current degenerate state of our beloved America.

Educated Americans Love The Income Tax

Because they know what it really is...

A Retired Air Force Warrior But Very Much Active-Duty CtC Warrior Scores A Nice Victory

...and Bank of America gets an important lesson about the law.

RETIRED AIR FORCE LT. COLONEL DONALD SULLIVAN has spanked the North Carolina Department of Revenue (NCDOR) and, more particularly, Bank of America (BoA). The issue was the all-too-common bad practice by businesses like BoA of reflexively cooperating with any kind of notice sent to them by any tax agency, without the least regard for the law and their duty to their customer.

In this case the NCDOR had in May sent the BoA three "notices of attachment/garnishment" over alleged tax debts from 2006, 2007 and 2008 (pre-CtC years for Donald in regard to which he had been a non-filer). See one of the notices here.

AS CAN BE SEEN, the notices had only "Revenue Officer" stamped above the signature line, meaning no live human being had actually taken personal responsibility for the validity and propriety of the notices and the authority they purported to exercise. BoA, even after having had the legal issues explained to it's representative, had stolen the contents of the small account Donald kept there, giving $876.00 to NCDOR and charging Donald a $125.00 fee for its trouble with what was left in the account.

Donald, an upstanding CtC-educated American adult who realizes that letting it fray around the edges even where only small amounts of money are concerned is ultimately fatal to the rule of law overall, sued BoA. On August 1st, after a brief bench trial, Donald won his case and a judgment for everything taken from him, with all costs taxed to the bank.

As Donald describes the proceeding, it was pretty simple and straightforward:

After going thru the events leading up to the trial for the judge’s edification, I indicated to him that the Notice of Attachment and Garnishment had not been signed by anyone. At the bottom of the page where it said, “signed and sealed by”, no signature appeared, only the words, “Revenue Officer”, printed above the signature line. I also told the judge that it seemed strange to me that, although the bank would never cash a check which had no signature on it; it would, without question, surrender my funds to the government without any hint of due process having been provided.

The judge turned to the bank representative and asked if he had a signed document authorizing the garnishment. The bank rep stated authoritatively that he did, and that it was the very document I had just shown the judge. When the judge asked the rep to show him where the signature was, he pointed to the signature block with the words “Revenue Officer” on it and said, “The bank is required by law to comply with this notice and send the money to the state”. The judge then turned to his paperwork and announced that he was finding for me in the amount of $1,005.00 plus court costs.

See the judgment here...

...and take HATS OFF to Donald for upholding the law!

Current Events And A Call To Action Or Two

My latest speaking schedule, and much more.

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.

ON SEPTEMBER 13 I'll be speaking at the Elks Club in Livonia, Michigan. Visit OneIfByLand.org for more information.

ON OCTOBER 4, I'll be speaking to the Washtenaw County Libertarian Party, in Scio Twp., Michigan. Contact Jim Hudler at (734) 475-9792 for more information.

If YOU have a serious-minded group that you think will benefit from an in-person presentation on this long-running assault on the rule of law in America, contact me.

Further...

A call to action

CLEARLY, THE MERE AIRING OF THE JUDICIAL AND EXECUTIVE CRIMES revealed in the presentation discussed above is not enough. What is revealed here is a vicious widespread plot to destroy our Constitutional republic. It can be stopped, and it must be stopped, and all culpable parties-- who have each and every one grossly betrayed and defiled the trust and honor the people of America have bestowed upon them-- should be harshly punished. Therefore...

I call on every law-respecting journalist to raise the hue and cry about these outrages.

I urge every American reading these words to join me in demanding action.

Append this article or this video (or both) to an introductory note and a demand for action, and mail it to Jeff Sessions, Paul Ryan, your federal and state congressional delegations and to every journalist possible. This will ensure that these folks will be made aware of this matter, and cannot say otherwise as an excuse for inaction.

Click on the name below for contact info:

Jeff Sessions

Paul Ryan

Journalists (this is a short list-- you may know or have access to more; send to all of them)

Your representative

Your senators

Your state legislators

Your mom, your dad, your sibs, your best friend, the guys and gals at the office or the plant, etc.-- you have these addresses or must find them on your own.

ALSO!!! Send to law school faculty!!! Find schools, faculty names and contact info however you can and send! Send to every lawyer you can find.

Understand, 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.

SIGN THE PETITION YOU'LL FIND HERE. This one is addressed to Paul Ryan, in his capacity as Speaker of the House. If Ryan fails to act, it will be delivered to every member of Congress (and the media).

We will discover if any of these office-holders retain a shred of respect for the rule of law, and if so, who they are. Those whom we discover do not will go on the list of people needing to be shorn of their positions of trust and honor.

“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”

What Is Paid For By The "Ignorance Tax"

Everything...

The U.S. Income Tax: An Excise On The Profitable Exploitation Of Federal Privilege

The U.S. Ignorance Tax: The Profitable Exploitation of Confusion About The Income Tax

I WAS IN A GROUP THE OTHER DAY in which I overheard, "The income tax just goes to pay the interest on the national debt!" Would that it were so...

The statement is a long-standing misconstruction of something said by Peter Grace of the Reagan-era Grace Commission, which had been tasked with an analysis of the federal budget. Grace attempted to illustrate the significance of the federal debt burden by pointing out that the interest paid on that monstrous debt was so much as to more-or-less match the amount taken in by the income tax-- an amount that is a metaphorical synonym for "huge".

Money, of course, is fungible, so even if the tax take were earmarked for the interest payment, that would simply free up other funds for other uses. Thus, the "earmarking " concept is illusory at best. Income tax revenue gets spent for any and all government purposes, just as is true of every other dime that goes into the general fund.

Further, Grace undervalued the income tax dramatically. This is because Grace didn't understand that FICA (Social security and Medicare) taxes are just income "surtaxes"-- meaning income taxes like any others, despite the misleading application-specific label of "employment taxes". As a result of this misunderstanding Grace failed to factor this additional enormous amount into his casual analogy.

The reality is that the income tax take-- by which we really mean the "ignorance tax" take, since we're talking about the amount captured by government through exploitation of ignorance about what is really subject to the income tax under the law-- is many times the amount paid in interest on the national debt. Last year, for instance, the interest payment was about $432 billion. The ignorance tax total was a whopping $3.9 trillion.

MY POINT HERE IS NOT TO CRITIQUE THE GRACE REPORT, however. I'm only interested in stopping its mistakes from being repeated and persisting as a false "factoid".

The reason I'm concerned is that the throw-off, "It just goes to pay the interest on the national debt..." line, though not meant as, or in support of, anything but a disparagement of the tax, actually serves to minimize or conceal the horrendous evil for which the tax really does pay.

Lets look at a small sampling of the things made possible by the ignorance tax:

The corruption of our political office-holders;
The drug war and all the violence and corruption it brings;
Our wives, daughters and ourselves being virtually strip-searched in airports;
Agricultural price supports raising the cost of our food;
A bloated military unable to account for $6.5 trillion given to it over recent years;
Hundreds of millions who hate us for the harm we have inflicted directly after violently invading their homes (here's an analysis of just a few of these affairs), or by supporting the despotic regime holding them in thrall;
A Department of Education working to fill American kids' minds with mush and PC propoganda;
The Panopticon surveillance state which spies on all of us all the time, subverting our privacy and any hope of confidence in the independence of our elected officials;
The militarization of our local police;
A direct and indirect federal workforce of 14,000,000 or so, every member of which needs to be messing with some or many citizens' lives in one way or another in order to justify his or her pay;
The coercion of state governments into certain behaviors even where no Constitutional authority exists for Washington's decrees, by issuing grants with strings;
The supplanting of genuine prosperity opportunities for young Americans by entrapment in rotten, impoverishing economic prisons.
And on, and on, and on...

NOW LET'S LOOK at what preservation of the "ignorance tax" scheme has made valuable to the schemers, and therefore an increasing part of our lives:

The inculcation and maintenance of a pervasive fear of government lawlessness;
A corrupt judiciary;
The systematic erosion of the rule of law;
The mis-education of our children about our founding principles and the legitimate authorities and limits of our public institutions;
The co-option of our churches into cheerleaders for the statist-quo;
A de-emphasis on logic, economics and history in our schools and school textbooks;
The infection of our legal framework with hive thinking, identity politics, and "social justice";
And on, and on, and on.

EVERYTHING LISTED ABOVE IS what is actually paid-for by the "ignorance tax", either in the conventional sense of being financed with its enormous, corruption-inducing aggregation of wealth into the hands of a political class with feet of clay, or as a price we all pay by the degradation and loss of our principles and our values.

Is all this really how a sensible people want to be spending their resources? I think not, but this IS what we're doing now, because of all those not yet awakened to the truth about the income tax.

Be an alarm clock.

Regarding Trolleries

(Deceitful efforts to discourage Americans from learning the truth about the "income tax")

FOR ALL THE YEARS SINCE 2003 when CtC was first published, the government has engaged in a concerted effort to frighten people away from its truths. This effort involves official government websites and press releases touting an occasional court ruling that appears to be at odds with some CtC-revelation (but without details sufficient to expose the real substance of the ruling)-- and sometimes even more mendacious behavior.

Why Does The Government Lie About 'Cracking the Code'?

*****

Are the presentations and resources offered on this site and in my other work of any value to you?

Tim Kendrick has posted a video on YouTube regarding donations. I didn't know what to do about it to begin with; I don't do what I do intending for anyone to feel obligated in any way.

But of course, no one IS obligated. I will continue to make my work freely-available here, and in my books for only the cost of a cheap paperback.

Thus, even though I post it here below, Tim's very thoughtful personal resolution and encouragement to others is just an invitation for consideration by those who may not be conscious of the fact that I can't do what I do without support. No one is to feel any pressure from it; if it moves anyone to act let it be solely because it seems right.

THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION is the key to the restoration of the republic and the rule of law in America. See it below. (NOTE: It's very important that the entire 24 minutes be viewed.)

This video can also be found on YouTube at hthttps://youtu.be/hgzzYl-eeUI.

Here are links to the two pages to which viewers are directed at the end of the film: The Crime of the Century and The Truth About The 16th Amendment.

The other two mentioned in the film are this one (the "bulletin board" stack of 1,200 or so posted refunds and other victories in knowledgably applying the law; and this one (the collection of resisted claims and the outcomes of those little battles).

PLEASE be a real activist about sending this link to every single person in your address book, and about sharing it through facebook, reddit, twitter, and any other distribution channel with which you are familiar. Send it to every journalist you can. It's time to really make something happen.

Accompany your emails and posts with with a strong admonishment to watch the film through, and that doing so will show the viewer an individual-empowering, state-restraining truth about the income tax which the government has been trying to keep hidden from view for 75 years and which that person really needs to know.

BY THE WAY, as is impossible to miss, I have neither the skills nor the tools to make even moderately good films. This is simply not my forte. Anyone able to do better is encouraged to talk to me about that.

As is ALSO impossible to miss, though-- even in my amateur production-- reader video testimonials have GREAT POWER. Send me yours.

The 'Watching the Watchmen Amendment'

Two Simple Questions For Every Silent "Alt-Media" Journalist

The silence of these folks is the liberation bottleneck. Maybe this'll help, if enough people ask...

HERE'S A SIMPLE QUESTION: The income tax is, and always has been, an excise tax on privilege. This is established beyond any controversy whatever by repeated Supreme Court rulings, the words of the related laws, and, since 2003, by hundreds of thousands of acknowledgements by federal and state tax agencies.

You, like most folks, have been fooled into inadvertently agreeing that your economic activities are exercises of privilege, thereby allowing the tax to be applied to your earnings. Why is this so hard for you to admit?

HERE'S ANOTHER SIMPLE QUESTION: You and everyone else being fooled into agreeing that your economic activities are privileged and thereby allowing them to be taxed is what enables the flow of wealth that finances all the bad things done by the state of which you complain in every column. Why is this so hard for you to admit?

I GUESS THESE ACTUALLY LEAD TO A THIRD SIMPLE QUESTION: If you really feel that all these things of which you complain are so bad, why are you not helping more Americans understand the true nature of the tax and the ill effects of it being misunderstood and misapplied?

*****

PRO TIP: By the physics of the law, an indirect tax is necessarily a privilege tax. Here's why:

The distinction between a direct tax and an indirect tax is incidence. A direct tax arises by the direct imposition of the taxer, without any election of the taxed (other than that of authorizing the taxing power in the first place).

An indirect tax arises by the taxed choosing to do something by which the taxer's claim is then created. The choice that is a valid object of an indirect tax can't be anything done as an exercise of an untaxable right. Nor can it be any activity of necessity. A tax on anything done by necessity would arise not by actual election of the taxed but simply because the tax had been imposed by the taxer. Such a tax, whatever it may be called, would be in actual substance a direct tax, even if one that arose only intermittently. Think of a tax on eating, for example, or working, or engaging in trade with others (all of which are things done by right as well as by necessity, but you get the point).

What is left as the valid object of an indirect tax is the exercise of privilege-- something done not by right, and therefore done by the permission of the taxer (who, due to being possessed of an ownership right in the thing being permitted, is entitled to claim of portion of the proceeds when the thing is profitably used).

"[Although the Legislature may declare as privileges and tax as such for State revenue purposes those pursuits and occupations that are not matters of common right], the Legislature has no power to declare as a privilege and tax for revenue purposes occupations that are of common right."

Sims v. Ahrens, 167 Ark. 557, 271 SW 720 594, 595 (Ark. 1925)

If you're not talking this one up everywhere and helping generate a buzz, you don't really want liberty and the rule of law...

PRO TIP: The argument that a concept explicitly given a statutory definition for purposes of this or that chapter or "title" has the same meaning as the common word the legislature has borrowed for its label-- which meaning plainly didn't suit the legislature's purposes, hence its replacement-- is a preposterous reading of the law.

“It is axiomatic that the statutory definition of the term excludes unstated meanings of that term.”

Meese v. Keene, 481 U.S. 465 (1987);

“[W]e are not at liberty to put our gloss on the definition that Congress provided by looking to the generally accepted meaning of the defined term.”

Tenn. Prot. & Advocacy Inc. v. Wells, 371 F.3d 342 (6th Cir. 2004).

In light of the actual evidence,, those who doubt or deny the accuracy and correctness of CtC just because some government officials denounce it are like the 16th-century Europeans who were mystified by Copernicus getting all those astronomical predictions right even though the church had said he was wrong.

Media Evasion Of CtC Must End, Now

Time, unfortunately, is on the side of the well-funded disinformation specialists class

Illuminating Anniversaries:

September 15- In 1789, the United States Department of Foreign Affairs (now the Department of State), is commissioned. In 1916, tanks are used in battle for the first time. In 1997, historians take note that it was the 158th 15th of September since Iran last initiated military aggression against anyone. In 2008, Lehman Brothers files the largest bankruptcy in U.S. history (to that date).

Are You Having Trouble Spreading The Word?

SKEPTICISM (SOMETIMES INVOKED BY FEAR) IS TO BE EXPECTED when you're trying to explain to someone that everything they've been encouraged their whole lives to believe about something as entrenched and significant as the income tax is basically nonsense. So here's a way to help cut through the resistance:

Ask your listener how he or she would react if you were to show an announcement from the Commissioner of Internal Revenue admitting that the tax doesn't apply to the earnings of most Americans and is misapplied most of the time because people don't understand how it works? Or how about if you showed a ruling from the Supreme Court saying the same?

Now you just have to explain that you're going to show exactly those things-- but because the state really doesn't want people to know this, these things haven't been said quite as forthrightly as we would all wish. It's going to take a bit more work to take these admissions in than is sufficient for just reading a press release. But it'll be worth the effort...
