The News Current Events and Continuing Education for September 17 through September 30, 2018 “Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.” -James Madison
"There are two distinct classes of men...those who pay taxes and those who receive and live upon taxes." - Thomas Paine C'mon! CtC can't be right! You're crazy! If CtC were actually right, it would mean the government's been concealing and denying the truth for years on end, and everybody knows THAT would never happen... (Edward Snowden, come home! It was all just a bad dream; there really is No Such Agency!)
Do you know someone truly steeped in the Kool-Aid?
I mean someone who finds it easier to believe that the far-better-educated, far-more-suspicious-of-government Americans of a hundred years ago were complete morons who granted authority to the state to take whatever it wished from themselves and their posterity than to imagine that they themselves simply misunderstand the true nature of the income tax? Even while knowing that their beliefs about the tax are derived entirely from the representations of those who profit from those beliefs (like tax bureaucrats and "tax professionals")?
Do you know someone like that? Shake them awake with the latest (fifteenth) edition of CtC!

What Would You Do... ...if you were a beneficiary of a long-running government scam that had been exposed? HERE'S A LITTLE MORE CONTEXT: You can't do anything to "legalize" the scam. What has been exposed is not quite outright illegal, but it is deeply corrupt, and involves your systematic evasion and abuse of an immutable legal reality. There is no way short of a Constitutional amendment to make your abusive scam anything but a scam. What's more, your scam has extracted literally $trillions from nearly the entire adult population of the country for three generations. Should the revelation of the scam go viral, you would suddenly be faced with outraged demands by 80% of the adult population of the country for the immediate return of ~$6 trillion (that is, everything collected from most working Americans and a fair number of others over the past three years, at least). FURTHER, YOUR SCAM, AND ITS CONCEALMENT, have a lot of "stakeholders". The scam has involved deep and broad corruption throughout the federal government, most notably within the judiciary and the executive branch, but even within Congress. State government institutions and those exercising their powers and living off their budgets are also co-opted into the scam. That swamp is wider still, though-- your scam is what has made possible-- and currently sustains-- the United States imperium. It makes possible the deep state and all the "National Security" theatrics by which hobgoblin threats are trotted on stage in sequence, and it funds the huge budgets for public and private efforts purporting to help combat them. All in all, a lot of folks want to sustain your scam, and it is unsustainable if widely revealed. In fact, while Washington wouldn't exactly return to being just a mosquito swamp alongside the Potomac, the widespread revelation of your scam would diminish its significance-- and your personal significance and perks-- to something reminiscent of the way things were in the 1920s and before. A LOT of people would have to find honest work who haven't had to do so in a long time. HERE'S ONE LAST VERY IMPORTANT bit of context within which my question is posed: Your scam, as effective as it is while ignorance reigns, collapses like a house of cards in regard to any given individual who knowledgeably invokes the immutable legal reality your scam is meant to evade. That is, everyone who has been victimized by the scam can, on an individual level, compel redress. You can't stop that redress from being secured. The legal mechanisms involved in claiming redress are of the most fundamental variety, and thus, since the scam was first revealed and spread as much as it has been able to do, even your own subordinate institutional structure has been unable to resist returning $billions in ill-gotten booty to the relative handful of folks who have learned how to reclaim it. In short, you're not just faced with the exposure of your scam in the abstract or as an academic matter. Even while you are deciding what to do your scam is already being exposed on a very concrete, practical level, in the most dramatic and unmistakable way possible-- checks hitting mailboxes week after week, month after month, year after year. The most you are able to do institutionally in the face of these educated demands for redress is drag your heels occasionally before returning the money. Or you can harass the claimants afterwards with hoaxy efforts to get them to reverse themselves or be tricked into letting their claims be subject to penalties-- even though the correctness of the claim and the refund it produced remain undisputed. These things are occasionally done, but only occasionally, because under close examination by educated eyes, each of these petulant responses emphatically reinforces the clarity of the truth which has been revealed and the scam which has been exposed. Besides, expressions of fitful resistance undermine your go-to explanation for all those checks hitting all those mailboxes-- that they are just a series of mistakes made by an overworked and institutionally-clunky bureaucracy. Subjecting any of these claims to balkiness before honoring them, or whiny harassment afterward, contradicts your PR escape hatch. SO, WHAT WOULD YOU DO? What would you do if you were that beneficiary, and your scam has been exposed? Would you just 'fess up and go quietly into dishonor, obscurity, maybe prison? Or would you double-down and ramp up another scam-- this one designed to suppress the revelation? Would you, for instance, first try to enjoin the publication of the exposé? Then, when that fails, would you proceed to smearing the fellow who exposed you with ad hominem irrelevancies, bogus lawsuits, and eventually false criminal charges and engineered convictions? Maybe you would salt the internet with troll-sites meant to be the first things people find when trying to look into the scam? Sites designed to convince visitors that the exposé of your scam is itself a just a scam, and to move on without looking into the matter any further? Maybe you would even launch a program by which government officials make false statements concerning the text of the exposé-- that is, saying that is says things it does not, in a "straw-man" attack. Perhaps you would have media shills at the New York Times and elsewhere publish "hit piece" slanders against the exposé and its author. Perhaps you would interfere with his ability to communicate via email and other internet-based means and prevent sites like Wikipedia from allowing links to his website and its evidence and resources. Perhaps you would even try to shut him up by attacking his wife. Heck, maybe you'd do all those things, instead of just "'fessin' up"... Which do YOU think is more likely, Dear Reader? WELL, IF YOU'VE BEEN AROUND FOR EVEN just a little while, you know what the actual scamsters to whom I refer chose when faced with exposure 15 years ago, and that it wasn't "'fessin' up". On the contrary, they did the dirty double-down and went deep and hard with all the evasions and dodges and crimes I describe above, plus more still. 'Cause here's the simple fact: These folks are utterly shameless and they desperately want to keep their scam alive, even just in zombie-mode. HERE'S ANOTHER SIMPLE FACT: They will succeed. They are already succeeding. They are strangling this liberating, republic-restoring, Leviathan-crushing truth in its cradle. Your future and the future of your kids dies with it. HERE'S HOW THIS IS HAPPENING: The scamsters have done and are doing ALL the things I describe above, and more. They have the active, vigorous assistance of every single "stakeholder"-- especially the ones in the "tax professions"-- as well as a huge, well-funded institutional army in the form of the IRS, state tax agencies and the DoJ (sic), plus the mindless backing of the media-- not just the mainstream media, but even the so-called "alt" media. They've been at it steadily and in a focused manner for 15 years now, in "wholesale" volumes. Their easy task is simply to preserve what a lifetime of conditioning with the lie has already planted, nurtured, and seen grown into a deeply-rooted thicket of lies and confusion in the minds of their targets, each of whom reinforce misunderstandings and resistance to the contrary truth in others in a constant mesh of pernicious feedback loops. ON THE SIDE OF THE GOOD GUYS, SO FAR, is, basically, me. And I'm the guy marginalized by all the smears discussed above in order to make me ignorable by the media, and whose ability to email is compromised and whose website is blocked from the most popular source of information in the world. I am supported by those in the CtC community who do missionary work with others of their acquaintance-- good and virtuous efforts, but sporadic in many cases and only at a "retail" level in any event. The only thing theoretically supportive at "wholesale" are about 40 videos produced by a tiny handful of the actual army of stakeholders in the truth. Most of the rest of that army is silent as the grave, saving only another handful which shares victories (and a much. much, much smaller handful-- who maintain CtC-related webpages or re-post my material on social media or produce and distribute outreach materials of their own-- Namaste!). But even posted victories, more often than not, involve concealed identities. Not much inspirational power, here... Think about it. How much do you think your neighbor, or anyone else's neighbor, is going to be inspired to jump into the fray against all his or her conditioning by folks who themselves hide behind redactions or worse, complete silence and invisibility? IN FACT, PARTLY BECAUSE of all those varyingly-redacted identities and a lack of supporting videos, I've seen doubts expressed by some folks that the victories are even real, reflecting a suspicion that I just fabricate it all in PhotoShop. Indeed, this is a default belief in most minds in one form or another, because anything else crashes against all that conditioning on behalf of the lie, and the conditioned brain rejects this-- or rather, the lies which control that brain reject it. The most common version of default skepticism is a willingness to accept the reality of some refunds (because what follows renders it unthreatening to the lie controlling their brain)-- but to believe that they are few (because the alternative contradicts the skeptical story-line) or that the same sort of thing has happened before (and so needn't be looked at with any interest) and in any event are all just "slips through the cracks" of some kind. These institutional mistakes, goes the story, are sure to be "fixed" by the powers that be at some point in the future. But the specifics of the path are not really important. In the absence of powerful corrective input, the controlled mind finds its way by one route or another to the conclusion these strange refunds and other occurrences (over which the conditioned eye merely skips without any real focus) are in no way reflective of a truth about the income tax which contradicts the lies by which it has been infected since childhood. SO, YOU SEE, the liberating truth about the income tax, which by itself would solve a vast swath of all the problems with which most of you concern yourselves-- whether it be war-mongering, corruption in politics or the judiciary, foreign aid and support of noxious foreign regimes, the domestic police state, the welfare state, federal tentacles in every aspect of the daily lives of Americans, or anything else you can imagine that would be constrained by the government's budget becoming inescapably lean in the extreme-- is going to be strangled in its cradle. That is, the ONLY thing capable of solving all the other problems with which you concern yourselves (face it, the political process and all the griping about all of these things by pundits and everyone else for decades have accomplished nothing), is going to be strangled in its cradle. And in time (and before long) the thus unchecked Leviathan, or its inevitable successor, will eat you and your children.
BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO END LIKE THIS. If you-- each one of you, without waiting at all for someone else to do it-- becomes a single-subject megaphone, loud and un-redacted-proud on behalf of CtC-s revelations, then an army of good guys will take the field which is actually big enough to challenge and overcome the army of "stakeholders" in the lies by which Leviathan is sustained. I spend most of my time assembling or creating resources with which you can do these things. Here's a really good one, I think:
Copy it. Paste it EVERYWHERE. Follow the link yourself; study what you find there; and prepare yourself to explain it and re-state it in every different way you can. Then make your own versions!! You can link to ANYTHING posted on losthorizons.com in memes and write-ups of your own creation. And don't stop there... One thing I have yet to see is a single video from anyone showering scorn and snark like this on the liars' absurdities. YouTube should be rich with such videos. The lies and absurdities deployed by the liars in defense of their gravy-train scam should be made a permanent and ubiquitous laughing-stock on the internet-- in the way I do it in the graphic above, and in a million other ways per your focused creativity. Stop being fearful and become scornful. Well-founded scorn and contempt have ENORMOUS social and political power. Use them, and protect and nurture the liberating truth. It's in your hands.

So, Let's Change Gears And Enjoy Some Uplifting Testimony And Victories! You know, a few more examples of that "scheme" of which Jeff McLellan speaks. Yelena & Roman
Here is the filing that produced this complete federal refund (which is actually of $4,170.94, as you'll see explained in the filing). It's a slightly out-of-the-ordinary victory in that Yelena and Roman have both federally-connected and non-federally-connected earnings.
Here is the Minnesota filing that produced THIS complete refund. *** Good Texan And Good American Jason Rivera On Ten Years As A CtC Warrior Jason came in with an ongoing IRS situation and then learned the truth and got free! Do you have friends still in the grip of a "tax honesty" guru as discussed by Jason? Give these folks the gift of knowledge and the power that knowledge brings. It'll do you both good.
*** Dan & Jane Moore
This nice refund complements Dan & Jane's federal refund for 2017, secured earlier this year. Here is the filing submitted to the state. After that filing went in there was a bit of balking by Virginia which was well-answered. This exchange was followed by the state's complete capitulation to the "Hendrickson scheme" last week. *** Johnny Jones Reviews CtC ...and explains why it matters...

The craziness of the neo-con nutcases in Washington is starting to generate its predictable blowback, but on a much more dangerous scale than in the recent past. Based on relentless hostile rhetoric and steady efforts at military encirclement the Russian Federation Armed Forces Command has concluded that the United States intends to launch a pre-emptive nuclear attack on Russia. While this perception continues to be fed, the risk of a prophylactic Russian first strike exists and grows more perilous. The persistent, recently-escalated, plainly unfounded and deliberately provocative saber-rattling against Iran-- a long-time close ally and buffer-state of Russia's, the destabilization or regime-change within which would be another substantial threat factor-- has magnified the intensity of the peril. So, more than ever...

A Review of CtC by Derek Cushman

FFOR 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.

Media Evasion Of CtC Must End, Now Time, unfortunately, is on the side of the well-funded disinformation specialists class
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... *****

PLEASE CONTINUE TO DILIGENTLY SPREAD THE LIBERATING TRUTH ABOUT THE TAX!!!
***** About The Author Pete Hendrickson is possibly the most effective lawyer in history, even while never having set foot in a law school, nor ever being a card-carrying member of "the bar". He is the first American in history to secure a complete refund of Social Security and Medicare ‘contributions’ withheld from his earnings (along with all other property taken for federal taxes); further, since 2003 students of his legal analyses and arguments in ‘Cracking the Code- The Fascinating Truth About Taxation In America’’ (CtC), and its sequel, 'Was Grandpa Really a Moron?' have been routinely retaining and recovering billions of dollars which otherwise-- wrongly, but as a matter of course-- would have gone to federal or state government treasuries. This despite concerted efforts by government to suppress his work, and in some cases vigorously oppose the claims by his students. Hendrickson is also a widely-read essayist on matters of politics, public policy and law; many of these works are collected in his second book, ‘Upholding the Law And Other Observations’. He is a member of Mensa; an award-winning artist; and has paid his dues as a youth soccer coach. He is a long-time political activist as well, and has served as co-chair and platform convention delegate of Michigan’s largest county Libertarian Party organization; as a consultant to the National Right to Work Foundation and Citizens for a Sound Economy; as a member of the Heartland Institute; and as a member of the International Society for Individual Liberty. He is a frequent radio-show guest on stations across the country. Hendrickson's business career has included nearly a decade-and-a-half at the leading edge of the renewable-energy industry, both as Director of Purchasing and Materials Management and member of the R&D board at Starpak Energy Systems, the mid-west's then-largest solar heating and energy-recovery-and re-utilization company; and as founder and president of AFJ Inc., a high-efficiency lighting design, manufacture and installation firm. Beginning in the mid-1990s and continuing for the twelve years before his present full-time focus on the restoration of the rule of law in America, Hendrickson directed purchasing activities for the $84 million-a-year multi-family-housing division of the Farmington Hills, Michigan branch of Edward Rose and Sons, with responsibility for 18,000+ apartments, direct supervision of 35 technicians and agents, and incidental authority over several hundred divisional workers. He also ran the division's 10 cable television earth-station and distribution systems in four states, and designed and administered the company's website. On rather the other end of the spectrum, amidst these more mundane pursuits Hendrickson co-founded and was the primary creative force behind a small board- and card-game company that enjoyed a modest success for several years. Hendrickson makes his home in southeast Michigan, with his wife and two children. He is currently working on his next book. © All written and graphic material on this page and website are copyrighted by Peter E. Hendrickson, unless otherwise attributed. |
