"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….."

Shame The Devil
...by telling the truth.
HERE'S A SIMPLE AND
INDISPUTABLE TRUTH: 200,000 Americans HAVE
NOT died of COVID-19 (C19)-- or even as a
result of C19. Nowhere near that number can
be said to have so died.
That number (or whatever the
number to which the purported national C19
death toll has risen by the time you read
these words) is the product of months of
unsupported attributions of C19 as a cause
of death-- the months in which far and away
the larger portion of the current total
being flogged by beneficiaries of panic was
added up.
BEGINNING IN EARLY MARCH, the
predicted plague-level disaster of C19 had
failed utterly to materialize. Fewer than
100 American deaths could be attributed to
the disease at that point despite many
millions being exposed during the preceding
three+ months of generally unhindered transmission by
every international traveler arriving from
anyplace already infected-- including Wuhan
itself, as a matter of fact.
C19 has long incubation periods
and
unusual persistence on surfaces (or so we
are told). Most infected persons remain
completely oblivious to this remarkably
harmless malady version of the flu. Thus, C19,
the flourishing of which closely tracked
that of this year's routine seasonal flu,
will have reached every corner of the USA
during those three months of December, 2019,
and January, February and March of 2020.
Here's the dynamic: During that
three-month+ period,
fully a billion people flew on airplanes
from everywhere to everywhere. Everyone
who had contact with anyone who had had
contact with anyone who had had contact with
anyone from Wuhan, or with anyone from any of the places
to which anyone who had had contact with
anyone who had had contact with anyone who
had had contact with anyone from anyplace to
which anyone who had had contact with anyone
who had had contact with anyone who had had
contact with anyone from Wuhan had gone, was
potentially exposed to C19.
Is this clear? HUGE numbers of
disease vectors flooded America last winter.
Even people living at all times in the
remotest of rural areas were equally
exposed, since mail is delivered pretty-much
universally; goods are shipped in to all
places; and even the most outpost-grade Qwik-Stop
gets its groceries from and through other,
much less out-of-the-way places and
facilities.
The CDC estimates that
38,000,000 to 54,000,000 American cases
(infections) of seasonal flu took place from
October, 2019 to March 14, 2020.
Discounting for the slight duration
differential (C19 actually first arose in
mid-November of 2019, but wasn't reported
until early December), and in light of its
longer transmissibility window, it can
reasonably be estimated that C19 infected
36,000,000 to 51,000,000 Americans last
winter, and had run its course in each such
case.
IT APPEARS THAT THIS LOW BODY
COUNT was a problem for someone's purposes.
On March 4, instructions issued forth from
the National Vital Statistics System
directing the nation's hospitals and other
health-care providers to begin fudging the
numbers.
Here is the instruction that
went forth, commanding America's doctors and
perhaps more importantly and significantly,
its health-care facility administrators, to
begin calling deaths "C19 deaths" even when
they had no sound basis for doing so:
Let's repeat this, distilled
and with emphasis added, to make sure no one
misses it: "It is important to emphasize
that Covid-19 should be reported on
the death certificate where the disease is
[merely] ASSUMED to have caused-- or even
just assumed to have contributed to-- death."
(See
the whole notice here, also with my
highlighting.)
On March 24, the CDC
doubled-down with this nonsense, issuing a
follow-up guidance being even more
straightforward with the fudge
encouragement:
SO, THERE YOU GO. All the
ramp-up death reports, from fewer than 45 on
the day this "guidance" was first issued to
the present 200,000+ were only
designated as such under guidelines allowing
for guesswork and figure massaging.
Every one of those subsequent
199,955+ C19 ascriptions has been made under this fudge-favoring "guidance".
Every one has been made while those making the
calls have been immersed in a 24/7 Kool-Aid
bath claiming that C19 is the über-disease,
like none ever seen before.
Of course every death
from that point forward with any respiratory
distress characteristic (as in the case of
all flu deaths, for instance, or all COPD
deaths in which as little as the common cold
contributed) was going to be deemed a C19 or
C19-related death! AND THEY ALL WERE.
Even many deaths by heart
attack, stroke and other causes in which the
patient also happened to have been tested
and discovered to have C19 (even though
possibly a very mild, unthreatening
infection) are likely to have been listed as
C19 deaths, as well, under the terms of the
first "fudging" instruction, in which it
will (or can) have been assumed to have
"contributed" to the death.
Further contributing to the
misreporting in a very big way is the
premium payout to healthcare providers for
designating in-patients as C19 victims (see
a USA Today "fact check" about these
premiums
here-- but you have to get to the very
bottom of a long page before they finally
say, "True"). This multi-thousand-dollar
bonus program creates an obvious perverse
incentive to err in the direction of C19
diagnoses which feeds into the
predisposition to do so based on the
panic-mongering mentioned above..
WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN? It
means that every utterance or publication of
"200,000+ dead" from C19
IS A LIE.
NO ONE can honestly make that declaration,
and no governor or state health department
can declare a C19 fatality figure for their
given state or region which encompasses all
the state or regional deaths ascribed to the
disease since March 4.
The MOST that can be honestly
said by anyone is that some number of
Americans have died as a result of C19-- and
that the number is likely quite small, in
keeping with the data accumulated up to
mid-March before the numbers began being
tainted with the issuance of the "fudge
factors" by the National Vital Statistics
System instructions shown above, and the
perverse payout incentives.
That kind of qualified
declaration is the only kind consistent with
the actual data, and thus the only kind
respectful of the actual "science" of this
disease.
SO HERE'S MY CHALLENGE TO
EVERYONE: SHAME THE DEVIL!! Slap
back at every false fatality-total assertion
with this real data, and the real
conclusions they require.
Call or write to your local
radio and TV stations and demand honest
reporting. Call or write to your local
newspapers and do the same.
Begin tracking the number of
times false reports are made for future
public airing and condemnation, and tell the
perpetrators that you are doing so. Inform
them of the true facts and tell them that
your having done so is being memorialized
and will be made use of in future public
discussion of their fitness for their
licenses and audiences.
And so on...
LET'S NOT FORGET, it is the
fake reports-- and the sense of emergency
that they perpetuate (and are meant to
perpetuate)-- that are continuing the
ruination of the American economy. It is the
fake reports-- and the sense of emergency
that they perpetuate (and are meant to
perpetuate)-- that are continuing the
ruination and of the personal economies of
you and your neighbors.
It is the fake reports-- and
the sense of emergency that they perpetuate
(and are meant to perpetuate)-- that are
terrorizing a generation of young children;
imposing the grotesque absurdity of
"masking" and "social distancing"; and being
leveraged to secure a national acquiescence
to socialist totalitarianism.
It is the fake reports-- and
the sense of emergency that they perpetuate
(and are meant to perpetuate)-- that are
conditioning you and your neighbors, and
your children and theirs, into acceptance of
despotic government in the name of the
crisis du jour. And this is acceptance to a degree undreamt of
by despots of the past.
At no time in the
history of Western civilization has the
current degree of servile, robotic
subordination of a populace been achieved by
even the most persuasive motivation or dire
circumstance.
What's going on in America (and
much of the rest of the world) IS INSANITY,
and it is delivering all the evil
consequences of mass insanity.
That insanity,
and its evil consequences, are based on a
lie.
Tell the truth.
“All that is necessary for evil
to triumph is for good men to do nothing.”
-Edmund Burke
"Like a muddied stream or a
polluted fountain is the righteous man who
gives way before the wicked."
-Proverbs 25:26
"I am only one, but I
am one. I
cannot do everything, but I can do
something.
What I can do, I
should do and, with the help of God,
I will
do."
-Everett Hale
P.S. ABIGAIL HAMBORSKY, 17, has
shared a cartoon that sums up some of the
insanity in just a simple little image and a
few simple words:
Abigail's 'toon and the ironies
it exposes prompt a wry smile to begin with.
On reflection, though, we have to all
recognize that there's nothing funny about
destruction of lives and the encouragement
of twisted thinking that are both being
brought about by this ongoing C19 panic
attack.
It has to end. Tell the truth
and shame the Devil.

discussion of the C19 story can be found

IN THE WAKE OF TRUMP'S
WELCOME CHOICE of Amy Coney Barrett for the
Supreme Court, I saw a whiny bit of punditry
declaiming the disturbance of the
"ideological balance" on the high court.
Where do these people come from?
There is no brief for an
"ideological balance" in the judiciary. ALL
judges and justices take an oath to support
and defend (and thus uphold) the same
Constitution. ALL judicial offices are
duty-bound to rule in strict accordance with
the words of the Constitution, as understood
and intended by those who enacted and
adopted them. Period.
There is no legitimate
"conservative" jurisprudence or "liberal
jurisprudence" (or "women's jurisprudence"
or "gay jurisprudence" or "white
jurisprudence" or "black jurisprudence",
etc.). The only legitimate jurisprudence is
FAITHFUL and HUMBLE jurisprudence,
untainted by the personal opinions and
preferences of the jurist.
Happily, Amy Coney Barrett's
history gives every possible indication of
her deep and proper respect for the law in
the sense described above. This is Trump's
stopped clock 12 hours after the Gorsuch
appointment...
THIS VIDEO PROJECTS THE PROGRESS of a nuclear exchange between Russia and
the United States. It's frightening, as it should
be, as well as sobering and instructive. My only
criticisms are, first of all, that it fails to
account for the imbalance that will now be present
in any such exchange due to
the new Russian
hypersonic weapons.
Secondly, the video fails to account
for China's contribution to the exchange against the
US, which is a virtual certainty. China knows that
if Russia goes, and the US survives, it goes soon
after. So, that will not be allowed to happen.
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?

Important guest observations
and commentary with an important afterword
by Yours Truly
The Planet's Not Angry, But The Pelosi/Newsom/Harris
Climate Howlers Are Truly Dangerous
by David Stockman
If you want a sneak peek of
our dystopic future under the impending Kamala
Harris/Progressive Left Regency look no further than
the recent utterances of California Governor Gavin
Nukesom.
The latter is the
poster boy for the camarilla of left-wing
ideologues fixing to take power if the
electorate sees fit to put Sleepy Joe in the
Oval Office for an occasional oxygenated and
propped-up fireside chat from his
teleprompter. Commenting on the raging
wildfires ravaging the state, the ever so
politically correct scourge of racists,
right-wing bumpkins and climate deniers
decreed that:
"The debate is
over, around climate change,” Mr.
Newsom told reporters. “This is a
climate damn emergency. This is real and
it’s happening.”
“I have no
patience, and I say this lovingly, not as an
ideologue but as someone who prides himself
on being open to argument, interested in
evidence…but I quite literally have no
patience for climate change deniers,”
the governor continued. He said skeptics’
point of view is “completely
inconsistent…with the reality on the
ground.”
He acknowledged
failings in forest management in recent
decades, but added: “That’s one
point, but it’s not the point.”
Oh, but drastic
forestry mismanagement and negligence, which
has turned much of California into a dry
wood fuel dump, is exactly the point. The
purported global warming has nothing to do
with it.
And don’t take our
word for it. This comes from the George
Soros funded Pro Publica,
which is not exactly a right-wing tin foil
hat outfit. It points out that
environmentalists have so shackled Federal
and state forest management agencies that
today’s tiny “controlled burns” are but an
infinitesimal fraction of what Mother Nature
herself accomplished before the helping hand
of today’s purportedly enlightened political
authorities arrived on the scene:
Academics
believe that between 4.4 million and 11.8
million acres burned each year in
prehistoric California. Between
1982 and 1998, California’s agency land
managers burned, on average, about
30,000 acres a year. Between 1999
and 2017, that number dropped to an annual
13,000 acres. The state
passed a few new laws in 2018 designed to
facilitate more intentional burning. But few
are optimistic this, alone, will lead to
significant change.
We live
with a deathly backlog. In February
2020, Nature Sustainability published this
terrifying conclusion: California would need
to burn 20 million acres –
an area about the size of Maine – to
restabilize in terms of fire.
In short, if you
don’t clear and burnout the deadwood, you
buildup nature-defying tinderboxes that then
require only a lightening strike, a spark
from an un-repaired power line or human
carelessness to ignite into a raging
inferno.
IT'S ALWAYS NICE TO SEE a sensible and
informed debunk of the "anthropomorphic climate change"
hobgoblin,
and David Stockman delivers a particularly pleasing
in-depth debunk here. This piece needs
to be shared around widely.
"Anthropomorphic climate
change" has for years been one of the chief
bits of nonsense being drilled into the
heads of every government-school victim (and
every adult naive enough to rely on
mainstream media for information) in order
to create political support for an expanded,
more powerful and less restrained-by-law
state. The infection is now deeply-rooted,
and well-written and solidly-sourced debunks
are critically important.
AT THE SAME TIME, it is equally
important to share around the singular
solution to the evil ambitions of "climate
change" hobgoblin-floggers: The
shrinkage of the state by which their exploitative
despotism is meant to be imposed upon the rest
of us.
That solution (which is also
the solution to ALL threats involving a
Leviathan state)
is presented here.
Remember, the wildfires on the
West Coast are not the only examples of
long-running resource mismanagement and its
ill consequences on display in America
today. Our heritage of liberty and the rule
of law is being burned away by an
irresponsible and overfed state, and that
needs to be stopped.
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.
Opening selected pages on
LHC comprising higher level legal
resources now requires the submission of qualifying testimonial
videos, as discussed, described and demonstrated
here.
The videos must be accompanied by scans of a recent
educated filing along with responsive documents from
the IRS, whether in the form of a check, a notice
identifying and reflecting the filed return, or
"return" and "account" transcripts for the year for
which the return was filed. Names must be shown in
full.
Similarly, if
an email comes my way asking for guidance or assistance,
I had better already have your video 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 it's not too much. 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.
P.S. READ EVERYTHING THAT
FOLLOWS, CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY!!
"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. (And if
you use a cell-phone, please have the orientation
horizontal, not vertical-- that is, so that the
screen of the phone on which you are watching
yourself while taping looks like a TV or movie
screen.)
If needed, write a little script for yourself.
Better, though, to just speak extemporaneously, after
spending a little time sorting out your thoughts and
getting down into your heart. Perhaps make it a video
of someone in your family, or a close friend, interviewing
you.
Dress "business casual". Be well-groomed.
Keep yourself to no more than 2 or 3 minutes,
and keep in mind that the purpose is
not to educate,
but to INSPIRE, ENCOURAGE and ENERGIZE. Your video will
be one of many to be shared. If you need to go
longer to really say your piece, go for it (but long
or short I may edit if something strikes me as
wandering or off-key or unacceptable).
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.
Don't talk to ME, or to others in the
CtC-educated community. Make remarks that are suited
to the NON-CtC-educated community, and at the same
time, be mindful 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--
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. Don't get
into details-- your audience is going to have no
idea what a "LTR3176" is, and you will NOT be
capable of explaining it adequately. This is an
subject area concerning which you should speak from
the heart, not the head.
If you haven't
yet begun to act, share the reasons for your decision to do so, and
your plans.
Remember, your purpose is to INSPIRE, ENCOURAGE
and ENERGIZE.
Watch your own video after you
record it and ask yourself: Putting yourself
in the place of someone completely immersed
in "the matrix"-- oblivious to any notions
that you might have been a victim of an
"ignorance tax", and comfortable with the
status quo-- would the video you just made
encourage you to push aside your comforting
illusions and learn the liberating truth? If
not, try again.
Identify yourself. Anonymity is for criminals and self-doubters, not
CtC
warriors. Naming yourself is a requirement, and your
name will appear as a subtitle on the video when I
prepare it for posting, in any event.
Mention what you do for a living, whether
you're a doctor, homemaker, lawyer, trucker, IT guy
or gal, 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, 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 DropBox, OneDrive.Live.com or GoogleDrive
(if you do GoogleDrive you MUST give access permission to stategroups@losthorizons.com), 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.
BTW: An encouraging and inspiring
video will earn you access to the restricted pages
on losthorizons.com and membership in the National
Forum if you have also sent me a recent educated
federal filing and IRS response (or relevant
"return" or "account" transcript). I will be the
judge of whether your submissions qualify
for access, but if you do your best you should do
fine.
Remember, the restoration of institutional
respect for individual rights and the rule of law depends
on enough individuals insisting upon it. Do your part
to let those starting to rub the sleep from their eyes
know that there is a community already waiting for their
fellowship with open arms and open hearts and shining
spirits.
See how some of your fellow warriors for
the truth have done their parts in videos sent over
the years, many of which are posted
here.

Getting Free Of The "Income" Tax Scheme Is As Easy As
Falling Off A Bike
To get an idea of how today's "income" tax scheme works,
try this little exercise:
Think of the federal government as a guy named Bob,
who lives down the street from you in a town that is
really big on bicycles. Bikes get used for commuting,
deliveries, shopping, etc.. In fact, other than walking,
bicycles are the exclusive form of transportation in
your town.
Your neighbor Bob has a by-the-mile bicycle-renting
business-- "Bob's Bicycles". Bob's Bicycles is far and
away the biggest business in town.
Part of Bob’s success is because he does a lot of contract
business. However, Bob doesn't just get paid by riders
who have signed an agreement with him, or even just
those using Bob's bikes. Bob gets something every time
anybody in town does any riding at all, through an odd
combination of circumstances that took many years to
come together.
Here's how it happened...
Bob's Bicycles was launched long ago by the great grandfather
of the present Bob (Bob IV). Great Grandpa Bob started
out not only with a main location for his contract business--
he also had the bright idea of setting up spots around
town where he parked some of his bikes for use by the
more occasional rider, on an "honor system". Anyone
could take and use one of these bikes, but they were
expected to keep track of their mileage, and send Bob
a "1040 Mileage Ridden/Rent Due Form" (and the appropriate
rent), periodically. The initial design of the form
was like this:
I, ______________,
rode a Bob's Bicycle a total of _____ miles
this year.
At Bob's rental
rate of $.15 per mile, I owe Bob $______
I said that Great Grandpa Bob planned to deal with these
occasional riders on the "honor system", and that's
true. But he liked his money, too, and didn't want to
miss anything that was due him. So, after setting up
the "self-serve" locations, Great Grandpa Bob went around
handing out "W-2, 1099 or K-1 Rider Reporting Forms"
to every other business in town. The forms-- accompanied
by notices that if Bob didn't get his rent from someone
riding a bicycle in connection with any business, he
would sue the company involved-- said:
You Can’t Fight Well When You Don’t Know
What You’re Fighting About
If you are having an argument
with the IRS or any other tax agency,
You are NOT being presumed to have made “corporate
profit”.
You are NOT being alleged to have received “foreign
income”.
You are NOT entangled in an invisible “adhesion
contract”.
You are NOT being obligated by a law whose subject
is never identified.
You are being targeted because REAL EVIDENCE exists
that YOU PERSONALLY HAD “INCOME” to which the revenue laws apply--
even though that evidence is almost certainly incorrect,
and CAN be corrected.

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.
September 28- In 1066, the Norman conquest of England begins.
In 1781, American Revolutionary forces begin the siege of Yorktown, Virginia.
In 1928, penicillin-- the first antibiotic-- is discovered. In 1971, the United
Kingdom criminalizes the medicinal use of marijuana.
Anniversaries of interest for
each day of this week will be found throughout the newsletter mid-edition update
below.
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.

Illuminating anniversaries of this week:
September 30- In 1882, Thomas Edison's
first commercial hydroelectric power plant begins operation (in Appleton,
Wisconsin). In 1901, a patent is issued for the vacuum cleaner. In 1927, Babe
Ruth hits his 60th home run of that season, setting a new record. In 1935, the
Hoover Dam is dedicated. In 1954, the first nuclear-powered vessel is
commissioned-- the USS Nautilus. In 1986, Mordecai Vanunu, the man who revealed
details of a covert Israeli
nuclear weapons program to the British press, is kidnapped in Italy by
Israeli agents.
An old joke, but in regard to this deceiver,
not a laughing matter at all.

Illuminating anniversaries of this week:
October 1- In 1800, Spain cedes
Louisiana to France. In 1908, Ford Model T's go on sale at $825. In 1910, the
Los Angeles Times building is destroyed by a bomb set by Ironworkers union
members upset at the position of the paper on unionization. It was one of many
similar bombings during that period (more than 100), but perhaps the most
dramatic, with 21 dead and scores more injured. No anti-terrorism measures
gutting the Constitution were enacted, and yet life went on. In 1928, the
Soviet Union introduces its first "Five Year Plan" for the bureaucratic control
of the national economy. In 1946, the "Nuremburg Trials" of Nazi leaders for
engaging in wars of aggression come to a close with death sentences for most of
the defendants. In 2017, Catalonia votes overwhelmingly (more than 92% in
favor) to secede from Spain. The Spanish government had already declared the
vote illegal and attempted to interfere with the voting process, but without
much success, as shown by the outcome. Less than a month later the Spanish
government declared the Catalan parliament dissolved after it formally voted to
declare independence.

““When principles that run against your
deepest convictions begin to win the day, then battle
is your calling, and peace has become sin; you must,
at the price of dearest peace, lay your convictions
bare before friend and enemy, with all the fire of your
faith.
"Power concedes nothing without a demand.
It never did and it never will. Find out just what any
people will quietly submit to and you have the exact
measure of the injustice and wrong which will be imposed
on them, and these will continue till they have been
resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The
limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of
those whom they suppress."
October 2- In 1835, freedom-loving
Texans begin their war for independence from Mexico. In 1950, "Peanuts" is
first published. In 1959, 'The Twilight Zone' airs its first episode. In 1998,
historians take note that it is the 160th 2nd of October since Iran initiated
military aggression against anyone. In 2002, the "Beltway Sniper" attacks
begin. In 2018, journalist Jamal Khashoggi is last seen alive, entering the
Saudi consulate in Istanbul.
October 3- In 1849, Edgar Allen Poe is
found in a gutter in Baltimore, an apparent victim of "cooping" (being drugged
into incoherence and then taken from polling place to polling place and made to
repeatedly vote as instructed). He dies four days later. In 1863, the fourth
Thursday of November is officially specified as Thanksgiving Day by Abraham
Lincoln. In 1908, 'Pravda' is founded. In 1932, Iraq gains its independence
from Britain. In 1981, the hunger strike by PIRA and INLA prisoners at the Maze
prison in Northern Ireland ends after seven months and ten deaths. In 1990,
Eastern and Western Germany are reunited. In 2008, George W. Bush signs the
first $700 billion "bailout" bill, starting an ongoing process of looting the
American people under the amazingly bold pretext that these further offenses
will somehow ameliorate the effects of previous governmental abuse of the
American financial and monetary structures.
CtC WARRIOR SanDiegoScott has put together
a great little 20-question quiz to test your knowledge of the law
regarding the United States "income" tax. Test yourself, test your
friends and family! Test your accountant and tax attorney, and help
them learn the liberating truth!!
"Never must thou take up a false cry, or join hands
with the guilty by giving false witness in their favor. Never must
thou follow with the crowd in doing wrong, or be swayed by many
voices so as to give false judgment; even pity for the poor must
not sway thee when judgment is to be given."
