Let's take a short break from the horrors being cemented into place by the
largely unopposed C19 coup, and celebrate:
July 27- In 1694, a royal charter is granted to the Bank of
England. In 1789, the first United States federal agency is formed- the
Department of Foreign Affairs (later renamed the Department of State). In 1940,
Bugs Bunny make his screen debut. In 1964, a "surge" policy brings the total
U.S. military presence in Vietnam to 21,000. In 1974, the first article of
impeachment against Richard Nixon-- obstruction of justice-- clears the House
Judiciary Committee. In 1990, Belarus secedes from the Soviet Union.

New Victories By CtC-Educated Real American
Grown-Ups
Just to take a break from the horrific "C19 Scam" assault
swirling about us...
THE TAX AGENCIES HAVE BEEN LARGELY SHUT DOWN until
recently, and most filings for this year have taken place only a few
weeks ago. At the same time, other things have been
needing-- and getting-- our attention over the last several months.
Consequently, the issuance of victories in 2020 has been sparse and most
of those who have announced receiving them have been too distracted or
oppressed by the C19 madness to share them, so far.
Due to these various factors, it's been some time since new victories have
been posted. But a few folks DID get early filings in; a few folks DID
show up for work at the tax agencies and duly issued the appropriate
victories on behalf of the rule of law, and a few of those victors HAVE
pushed through the amber of relentless, hypnotic
hobgoblin-flogging and
shared those victories.
I say "HOORAY" for these good folks! We all need a ray of sunshine to keep the blood flowing
in dark times like these, so let's celebrate some heroes!
Kiki Bittner
KIKI AND HER HUSBAND have secured their 2nd, 3rd and 4th
complete refund of everything erroneously paid in as withholding deposits for their
business during 2019. Kiki shared here first such refund in
this great video. She shares the others in the new installment below:
Here are the checks Kiki shows in this latest video:
BRAD & SHERI PRESENT their latest victory-- a complete
refund of all withholding taken from them and given over to California
during 2018. This one was secured last year, as you can see, and so is a
bit out of form here. But I like doing things in threes, so...:
WELL DONE, Kiki and Jon and Brad & Sheri! These great
victories join those of the tens of thousands of other awakened and
activated Americans represented
here.
Each constitutes another critical step toward the restoration of
the
Founders republic and the true rule of law.
Don't you wish your victories were proudly posted, too?
BTW, DON'T YOU WISH YOUR
INSPIRING
BEING-THE-STORM VIDEO was posted, too, like Kiki's and Jon's? This
is easy to do, and very important (plus it can get you some great
losthorizons swag!). See (and carefully read in their entirety)
these
guidelines and encouragements.
Remember, it's all about upholding the law, and that is
YOUR responsibility. Awakening others to this high and honorable duty is
the best way to make it happen.

What Donald Trump Needs To Do If He Wants Even A
Chance Of Getting My Vote This Year
It's a simple little list, and it's non-negotiable.
WHAT FOLLOWS ARE TEN ACTS of responsible governance which I
require of Donald Trump in order for him to justify being given my
approval for another four years in office. All are well within his
power, and all would rectify a dangerous wrong, protect America from a
dire peril, and/or represent an embrace of important principles.
By the
way, Joe Biden (or whoever is operating him) could only secure
my vote by convincingly pledging to accomplish all the same
things...
Here is my list of things Donald Trump must do:
1. ROLL OUT THE BULLY Presidential Pulpit and walk the
American people through the explosive fact that according to the CDC's
own data, it is indisputable that as
many as 50 million Americans got infected with C19 between December of
2019 and March of 2020. Point out that this huge number of Americans had
the disease run its course from start to finish
with only 97 fatalities occurring in total-- again, all per the CDC's own data
(and all as laid out and documented here).
Then urge Americans to lose the masks; get their businesses
open; resume the political process as usual; and begin impeachment and
prosecution of every state executive-branch official who pretended to
have the authority to make law under the rubric of "executive orders",
every instance of which is expressly prohibited by the relevant state
Constitutions, all as laid
out here (and in a bigger-picture presentation
here).
2. DEVISE AND FORWARD TO CONGRESS legislation making it a
federal criminal offense for any government official or anyone
presenting themselves as a provider of information, communications or
self-expression services which makes use of any federal,
federally-facilitated or federally-controlled resource-- including but
not limited to telecoms, social media platforms, email handlers, search
engines and video servers-- to restrict, hamper, burden, censor or
discriminate in any way against, or on the basis of, content created,
uploaded or dispatched for transmission or access by any subscriber, any
form of service agreement by which such restrictions, hampering,
censoring or discrimination can be said to be agreed-to or made valid
notwithstanding.
3. ORDER ALL UNITED STATES MILITARY FORCES in the Middle
East and Afghanistan to promptly pack up and come home; and set a date
no more than six months hence on which those garrisoning Germany and
Korea must do the same, both of which can be done unilaterally under
presidential authority as Commander-in-Chief despite the
corrupt, bribe-induced
opposition of many members of Congress.
4. FIRE MIKE POMPEO, GINA HASPEL, David Friedman,
Brian Hook, Anthony Fauci, William Barr and Jared Kushner; and closely question Mike Pence
in a public and recorded session to ensure that Pence understands that
US policy is NOT to be based on, or influenced by, the notion that the
Rapture is imminent, or that he is especially favored by God, or that
ANYONE is especially favored by God. If Pence fails to give satisfactory
assurances, replace him on the ticket. I suggest Tulsi Gabbard or Rand
Paul.
5. END DISTRIBUTION OF ALL FOREIGN AND MILITARY AID to
Israel, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, UAE, Ukraine, Poland, Kosovo, and
Georgia, and investigate any member of Congress who objects for bribery,
dual citizenship, or other compromising circumstances. (Many other
recipients should also be cut off, but these nine listed are prime
and/or iconic abuse-and-corruption fly-traps, and therefore will make a
good start.) Read aloud to the American public
the relevant
portions of George Washington's Farewell Address.
Pledge to never again approve an arms sale to any country
acting as an aggressor in any conflict, nor to approve the sale of
anything but defensive weapons to anyone.
6. CONDEMN THE ISRAELI ANNEXATION of the West Bank and
initiate a UN resolution calling on Israel to offer return all land,
wherever located, which was seized from Palestinians displaced and
dispossessed by Haganah and Irgun terrorism campaigns during the 1940s
(and by other immoral campaigns since) to its rightful owners (or their
heirs), or face sanctions and ostracization from the community of
nations.
7. END ALL SANCTIONS AGAINST IRAN AND VENEZUELA AND RUSSIA,
and condemn the general and long-running policy of institutional
falsehoods about each of these countries by which such sanctions have
been "justified".
8. RESTORE THE ABM and INF treaties with Russia, and pledge
to preserve the START treaty when it comes up for renewal next year.
Reorient the "Space Force" to a joint US-Russian (and perhaps Chinese)
initiative focused on peaceful exploration and development which will
pre-empt and preclude any militaristic efforts in space by any of the
participants (and establish suppressive pre-eminence over any such
efforts by anyone else).
9. USE ALL AVAIABLE RESOURCES OF HIS OFFICE and
branch to break up existing media conglomerates and ensure that every
newspaper, TV station, magazine, radio station and other element of the
Fourth Estate is a free-standing, free-speaking operation.
10. PRE-EMPTIVELY PARDON JULIAN ASSANGE and Chelsea Manning
for any and all crimes they have allegedly committed against the United
States.
ALL SENSIBLE STUFF, right? All with a snowball's chance in
Hell, too, I know.
But who knows? Maybe by putting the list out there, Trump
will be influenced toward a better direction in one or more of these
areas. One can dream...

Still Timely: Not Letting This "Crisis" Go To Waste...
...an important action item opportunity.
FRIENDS, THE BIT OF EASING of the despotic measures to
which most of the country has been subjected this spring should not be
allowed to bleed off the head of steam you probably had been developing.
The offenses happened, and they're far from over. Stay hot.
And while you are all warmed up, and while others, if
they're smart, are just as hot, I'd like you to send an email (and
Facebook post, or whatever) with the following content to everyone you
can (with a request that they pass it along, in turn):
[Name], over the last several months you've
watched as over-fed state power has been used to literally destroy
classical Western civilization and impose a new despotic paradigm. No
dissent or debate permitted-- no permission or agreement sought.
YOU KNOW where this will end up if the arrogant
state power being used to make this happen isn't radically diminished in
size, influence, resources and popular support, and exposed as an
opportunistic exploiter of legal ignorance (an ignorance which it has
been nurturing in the average mind for decades).
Those things having not yet happened, you
should be quaking in your boots-- and you probably are.
Isn't it time-- and past time-- for you to
begin helping to make those desperately-needed defensive changes take
place? There is only one way these things can happen short of a
who-knows-what we'll-end-up-with explosion of violence. I'm going to
show it to you.
When you're done with that reading, you'll know
what to do next.
BTW, REMEMBER, ALSO, THAT EVERY AMERICAN has lately been given a stark lesson in the fact
that government officials at all levels will lie to you and violate the
law without batting an eye. They will do so any time it serves their agenda, and
you don't call them out for it.
If you know anyone who has been persisting in denial on the
truth about the income tax, you know such nonsense is usually be
grounded in some version or another of, "That can't be true..." or "They
would never do something like that...". Now's the time to put a pin in
that delusional bubble.
As the C19 hoax has starkly shown, "that" certainly CAN be true, and they
certainly WOULD do something
like that.
Use this evidence in all your
outreach efforts.
"It is not the function of our Government to keep the
citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to
keep the Government from falling into error."
-United States Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson
(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.
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.
All-in-all, just be the sort of person for others
that you would go to yourself for trustworthy leadership.
Leadership is a challenge. But it's not
complicated, and you can do it.

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...

Anonymous, WikiLeaks, the Tax Foundation, everyone
in the "tax honesty" movement, the 9/11 truth

If Conservatism Doesn't Stand For Home, Then It
Stands For Nothing
The movement was poisoned at its root-- or rootlessness--
but it can be revived.
by Bill Kauffman
I have long believed that the word conservative is
sullied beyond reclamation, so my immediate answer to the question “What is
American conservatism?” is “a Beltway-based racket exploiting the healthy
instincts of decent Americans on behalf of the military-industrial complex, Wall
Street, and the Republican Party.” But that answer is confuted by this very
magazine, founded as it was in opposition to the criminal Iraq war and animated
and inspirited, then and now, by principles and precious things that had long
been forgotten or repudiated by most of the American Right: peace, place,
humility, community, federalism, the Bill of Rights.
The conservative movement was poisoned at its
roots—or, should I say, its rootlessness. After the death of the noble
Senator Robert Taft (R-OH) in 1953, “conservatism” at the national level
came to be defined, to a grossly disproportionate degree, by
ex-communists avid to slay the god that failed them. The resultant
movement subordinated domestic felicity and the gloriously idiosyncratic
Little America to the frenzied promotion of what William F. Buckley Jr.
described as an “instrument of totalitarian bureaucracy within our
shores,” which he said we must accept “for the duration” of the Cold
War. But when the Soviet Union dissolved, we did not return to being a
“normal country,” as Jeane Kirkpatrick, Reagan’s UN ambassador, had
recommended, but instead sought out a dreary concatenation of new
enemies to justify the warfare state. (Even now, bellicose opportunists
have their eye on China, as the scare-by date of shoe-bomb jihadis is
about up.)
The wisest, most insightful, most
independent-minded men who passed through the late and unlamented
conservative movement—Robert Nisbet, Karl Hess, Russell Kirk, Murray
Rothbard, Felix Morley—became disaffected and out of step. They
understood that a grotesque empire had suffocated and supplanted the
erstwhile republic, and that an America that is true to itself and
worthy of respect must be decentralist, anti-interventionist,
neighborly.
There is a healthy tradition in American
political life that breathes this spirit, and that is, in parts and in
sum, gentle, rambunctious, lyrical, just, and deeply, deeply American.
Its first bloom was the Anti-Federalists, those prophetic backcountry
critics of our misbegotten Constitution and champions of a decentralized
nation. The tradition stretches on through the Loco Focos, the
Populists, the Southern Agrarians, the Catholic Workers, the Old Right,
the “freewheeling participatory democracy” wing of the New Left, the
Perot-Buchanan-Paul Middle American revolutionaries, the hippie
localists….This is the soul, the numen, of political America.
This is not just a literary conceit, or a
gallery of lovable romantic losers. I see its expression, in variegated
forms, all around us. It’s in farmers markets, grocery co-ops,
community-supported-agriculture farms, local theater, and homeschool
groups. It’s there wherever Americans gather in defense of the first Ten
Amendments (dig all those Ninth Amendment rallies!), or every time a
young girl puts up a birdhouse or kids gather for a pickup baseball
game. Politically, it takes the form of split-state movements in New
York, California, Illinois, and elsewhere; it’s in the Bring the
(National) Guard Home campaign and the inchoate yearnings for peace that
both parties do their best to snuff out; it’s in the distributist
proposals to encourage small shops and home production and in the
anarchist calls to expropriate the expropriators; it’s in the
libertarian rejection of the surveillance state and in the refusal of
those whom Robert Frost affectionately termed “insubordinate Americans”
to say hooray for Hollywood. It’s in things hipster (small craft
breweries, little libraries, DIY music) and square (Kiwanis, Knights of
Columbus, volunteer fire departments).
America is not an idea, an abstraction, or a
marketing slogan. It is our home, and the land we love above all others.
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL piece of writing! I suspect the last time I read
anything by Kauffman was back in the days that I was a
reason magazine subscriber, and I now fear
that I've missed a lot of good stuff.
I especially like the distinction well drawn and subtly
emphasized throughout between making America "great" again and the far
more proper and compelling, making America GOOD again. What a welcome
and refreshing thought-- America, once more, the Good.
This puts me in mind of one of my favorite admonitions in
American political history, offered by the remarkable U.S. Senator Carl
Schurz at the dawn of America's stumble into imperialism in 1899:
"I confidently trust that the American people will prove
themselves...too wise not to detect the false pride or the dangerous
ambitions or the selfish schemes which so often hide themselves under
that deceptive cry of mock patriotism: 'Our country, right or wrong!'
They will not fail to recognize that our dignity, our free institutions
and the peace and welfare of this and coming generations of Americans
will be secure only as we cling to the watchword of true patriotism:
'Our country--when right to be kept right; when wrong to be put right.'"
My only criticism of Kauffman's otherwise wisdom-rich and
idyllic prose is his implicit buy-in to the tedious notion, popular
among intellectuals who have never actually studied the subject in any
depth, that the US Constitution is, as Kauffman puts it, "misbegotten"--
here meaning flawed, perhaps ill-meant, and responsible in part or in
whole for America's failure to be good. Kauffman should have more faith
in the genius of our Founders and Framers, and a sharper eye for the
People's endless failures to supervise and rein-in those to whom
operation of the State apparatus has been given over the decades.
The fact is, it is that missing supervision that is always
the problem. Constitutions, no matter how well conceived and executed,
do not interpret, preserve or enforce themselves.
The limitation is universal, and a consequence of the
nature of the thing. While our US Constitution has been rightly called
"the most wonderful work ever struck off at a given time by the brain
and purpose of man", it is no more self-executing or self-supervising
than any other.
Sadly, those who want to exploit a lack of supervision are
great at suggesting otherwise, in order to lull the supervisors into
mistakenly thinking they can relax and watch the football game instead
of steadily keeping a jealous eye on things. Sadly, it is natural for
any body of supervisors to prefer believing they can relax and watch
football, and to buy into comforting and convenient false suggestions
slyly and persistently offered.
THE SOLUTION TO THE CONSTITUTION'S INEVITABLE LIMITATION is
two-fold. One facet of that solution is making the study of the
Constitution, and of the meaning and intent of those who ratified it, a
major element of any American education.
The other facet of the solution-- the failsafe and
much more reliable solution to the threat of public complacency,
misunderstanding or subversion-- is keeping the state small and lean and
manageable.
It is always the state's ambition to burst the
Constitutional bonds restraining it from "greatness". It is always the
People's very serious interest to keep the state of a modest size and power such that the People can readily recapture it when broken free
and shackle it back up right and tight.
To ensure the People's ability to keep that second,
more reliable solution to the rogue state in place and in good working
order, the Framers hard-wired the taxing-power limitations into the
US Constitution the way they did. Deploying those limitations properly
results in exactly the restoration of our American home as envisioned by
Bill Kauffman, through a
process and with the effects laid out here. Read that post and let
its message sink in.
A more
broad-brush picture, complete with all the reasons why that
transformation would be inevitable and unstoppable once even only a tiny
portion of the American people learned the liberating truth
can be found
here.
Spread these illuminations around in the best way you can.
Urge every Bill Kauffman you can find to lend their voices to the
effort, as well. We could have a refreshed and restored America for Christmas
this year!
EVEN AS ARDENT A STATIST as Abraham
Lincoln, in announcing his willingness to burn the Southern states to the ground in order to
keep them paying the tariff for the benefit of Northern interests in
his first inaugural address on March 4, 1861, paid at least lip
service to the Founders design of leaving control over the fuel
available to feed the fires Washington wants to light in the hands
of the individual citizenry when he said, "Doing this I deem to
be only a simple duty on my part; and I shall perform it, unless my
rightful masters, the American people, shall withhold the requisite
means..."

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!
If
CtC were actually
right, it would mean the government's been concealing and
denying and suppressing 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!)
Btw, a copy of
CtC from anywhere except the link above may not
be a current edition. CHECK. It matters. Also, there ARE no
e-book, Kindle or .pdf versions of
CtC.
Don't get taken in by efforts to sell you-- or even give you for
free-- any such thing.
July 28- In 1868, the Fourteenth
Amendment to the United States Constitution was declared ratified, despite
considerable irregularities in the process. As this amendment is a source of
much misunderstanding within the "tax honesty" community, I refer those
interested in the subject to the discussion
here. In 1914, World War I begins. In 1945, a B-25 bomber crashes into the
79th floor of the Empire State building.
The building does not collapse.
In 2010, an Airbus A321-231 jetliner crashed in the hills north of Islamabad,
Pakistan, killing all onboard, and producing a wreckage site of the kind ALWAYS
produced by an actual crash, as is seen in the photos at the beginning of
this page. In 2017,
Pakistan's Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif, then serving his third
(non-consecutive) term, was found guilty of corruption by a unanimous Supreme
Court and barred from office for life. This resulted from a 2016 document dump
of millions of leaked internal files from a law firm handling Sharif's private
business dealings by the Washington, DC-based imitator of WikiLeaks known as
'The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists'.

Some Good Perspective From The Delightfully Sardonic John Prine
Another guy who's always had his head screwed on pretty straight,

Hey, Gamers!
WAKEN TO THE REAL-LIFE ADVENTURE IN WHICH YOU
ARE UNKNOWINGLY IMMERSED! Put down your controller and
listen!
You are surrounded by an actual battle between
villains, monsters and true heroes, all simply concealed
from you by
sophisticated spells which also keep you from
engaging in the fight.
There are real great deeds to be done,
and real treasures to be had for your efforts, and
frankly, your real future
is at stake. You just have to gain "the sight" in order to
penetrate the illusions.
Visit
losthorizons.com to get the counter-spells and get onto
the real field of battle!

PRO TIP: If I were the IRS and I wanted to
discourage people from rebutting allegations that
they had done things I can tax, and wanted to keep them from
successfully reclaiming withheld or paid-in money, I
would salt the "tax honesty" community with
passionate-seeming "legal researchers" who would
warn anyone whose ear they captured that filing a
1040 is a bad idea for one reason or another...

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.

Did you miss the 'Set Your Church Free'
commentaries?
Ignorance of the true nature of the "income" tax
has gagged, gutted and seduced-into-disgrace America's
ministerial community. This must change.

You're a
passenger on a riverboat that relies on regular
contributions of fuel from the passengers to
keep moving forward. You see an unsurvivable
waterfall ahead, and note a
soon-to-be-irresistible current growing stronger

Last Word
"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude
greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We
seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that
feeds you. May your chains set lightly upon you; and may posterity forget
that ye were our countrymen."

Adams, Architect of the first American Revolution

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.
