"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….."

HEY, PEOPLE! Please don't just
read what I post here (or anywhere), and nod your head sagely or
approvingly and then move on to other things. I don't post in order

perspectives and arguments with which to
educate others, and in the
expectation that you will forward my posts to other people (or

A Little More Common
Sense
...continuing
last week's post, since there can never
be too much...
On Afghanistan:
A LOT OF COMMENTARY HAS BEEN
AIRED LATELY decrying the "Afghan army"
for failing to stand its ground and resist
the return of the Taliban. Let's not forget
that the "Afghan army" was a
bribe-induced fabrication of an occupying
and unwelcome invader which had spent the
last 20 years corrupting Afghani adults at
every opportunity with either bribes or
coercion, or both, while instructing Afghani
children that their own culture was barbaric
and bad, and should be replaced with an
alien one.
The invaders even went so far
as to fly over their chief occupation
fortress a flag celebrating homosexuality
and the demented proposition that gender has
no biological foundation (and/or that
biology has no fundamental and abiding
influence on biological organisms).
In light of that history, it
should surprise no one that the "Afghan
army" welcomed the Taliban as liberators and
their return as the restoration of the right
and proper order. By the same light, it
should come as no surprise that those
Afghanis who had willingly assisted the
invaders and occupiers are regarded and
denounced by their fellows as quislings.
THE "SPIKE PROTEIN" is the key
element making a coronavirus harmful. It is
the mechanism by which the virus breaches a
targeted cell, allowing the virus to enter
and begin its replication at the expense of
the cell's health and proper function (and
produces a great deal of damage in other
ways, as well).
No "variant" can be seriously
harmful (or possibly even harmful at all)
without the spike protein.
Prompting antibodies against
the "spike protein" is purportedly what is
accomplished by the mRNA "vaccines" which
have been maniacally pushed on Americans
to the inexplicable exclusion of any of the
several well-proven treatments for C19 and
the deliberate disregard of the natural
immunity now possessed by well over a
hundred million people.
We have all been endlessly
assured that the mRNA "vaccines" are 95% and
97.5% effective (respectively)-- which, if
true, would mean that nearly every single
person injected with these substances will
be proof against anything equipped with the
"spike protein". This necessarily would
include any "variant" capable of causing
harm, "Delta" or otherwise.
Once prompted, antibody
"memory" is durable-- there is no such thing
as an antibody that just fades away from
biological memory after a few months, or
even years.
And yet, "vaccinated" people
are getting sick with what we are told by
the panic-mongers is the dread C19. The
explanation for the obvious incongruity of
the official narrative with the
observed facts is that the virus now
infecting these "vaccinated" people is a
"variant", and that explains its ability to
overcome the "vaccine" defenses. But as
shown above, this is nonsense on stilts.
The only way "vaccinated" folks
could be getting sick from a coronavirus--
variant or original-- is because the
"vaccines" don't actually work as
advertised, and never have.
Shout it out.
***
On the FDA approval of
the Pfizer "vaccine":
AS I WRITE IT HAS JUST BEEN
ANNOUNCED that the Pfizer "vaccine" has been
fully approved by the FDA-- not even one
year from its initial development. It is, of
course, simply impossible for the drug to
have successfully undergone even meaningful
short-term clinical trial safety testing--
and, as shown above, has dramatically failed
in its "effectiveness" aspect.
What is shown here is the
degree to which the FDA has become nothing
but a political tool, with no science-based
foundation at all. Nothing coming from (or
having over the last 18 months come from)
the agency should be treated as credible.
Further, don't miss the bigger
and darker picture. This
politically-prompted "approval" is being
done in order to put a fig-leaf of
"legality" over forcible "vaccinations" with
the substances shown above to NOT accomplish
their nominal purposes, and which therefore
must have other purposes, whatever they may
be.
Think this through, people.
This is serious as a heart attack, and
should prompt just as serious a response.
AS IT HAPPENS, just last night
I was fortunate enough to come upon two
video presentations which are each, in their
own way, well-suited for viewing and sharing
right now. Please watch them both, and then
share this post (here
is the link), by which other will get
both the context I have provided and the
videos themselves, as widely as possible.

On "hospitalizations":
"Hospitalizations" is a
meaningless statistic. It is deployed to
suggest that every hospitalized person is in
serious medical jeopardy, when this is in no
way necessarily true.
Based on the fact that the
hospitals provide no treatment for the
disease, but only supplemental oxygen, and
that
the death rates are tiny and are
usually misrepresented as being from C19
when they are really just WITH C19, it is
clear that most hospitalizations reflect
nothing more than excessive patient anxiety
(as intended by all the panic-mongering) and
the hospital administration's perfectly
reasonable willingness to fill its beds with
the maximum number of billable customers.
***
Finally, on legal
actions over "vaccine passports" and "mask
mandates":
I WONDER IF ANYONE has yet to
seek an injunction against any of the mask
mandates and vaccine passports erupting like
carbuncles here and there based on the Fifth
Amendment-secured right against loss of
liberty absent due process of law? After
all, no one being subjected to these
outrages has been found guilty of anything,
or even found to be sick with the dread
virus...
Maybe this observation will
inspire someone in New York or LA or DC to
bring that lawsuit. I hope so.
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 Propaganda War (Part II)
by C.J. Hopkins
The column you are
about to read is propaganda. Yes, that’s
right … propaganda. It isn’t political
satire or commentary, or objective news or
information, or unbiased, verified
scientific fact. It is propaganda, pure and
simple.
That isn’t a
confession, a disclaimer, or a warning. I am
not ashamed of writing propaganda. Most
everything you see and read on the Internet,
and in newspapers, and on television, and in
textbooks, and novels, and on advertising
billboards, and everywhere else, is
propaganda. There is nothing wrong with
propaganda. The question is who is doing it,
and what they are doing it for. Here’s the
definition in the Cambridge Dictionary:
“information,
ideas, opinions, or images, often only
giving one part of an argument, that are
broadcast, published, or in some other way
spread with the intention of influencing
people’s opinions”
That is what the
column you are reading is … an attempt to
influence people’s opinions. Of course, that
isn’t all it is. Nothing is ever only one
thing. But it is absolutely propaganda. And
so is everything else that you will read
today.
I’m terribly sorry
if this comes as a shock, but there is no
“objective” fantasy-land in which no one is
trying to persuade you of anything or
pressure you or otherwise influence you to
do something. It does not exist, this
“objective” dreamworld, where “authoritative
sources” report “the facts,” where “the
facts” are “verified” by “neutral” “fact
checkers,” where ex-NSA and CIA spooks are
hired as commentators by MSNBC and CNN
because they care about “the truth,” where
“science” is immune to manipulation. This
fantasy is the alibi of authoritarians, cult
leaders, and assorted other control freaks,
and the people they have brainwashed into
believing in it.
Everyone — and I do
mean literally everyone — is trying to
persuade or convince you of something. Your
friends, family, colleagues, your boss,
advertisers, lobbyists, government
officials, the media, artists, teachers,
doctors, journalists, bloggers, Twitter
bots, etc. This isn’t cause for paranoia.
It’s a natural part of human social
behavior. It is happening right now as you
read this sentence. I’m trying to convince
you of something. In a moment, I’m going to
urge you to do something.
This is how we
create “reality,” collectively, by
persuading and influencing each other, or
allowing ourselves to be persuaded and
influenced, mostly by powerful ideological
forces that do not care about us, and just
want to control us, but also by each other,
moment by moment, with every word we speak
and every action we take.
Every choice we
make is an advertisement, a political
statement, a profession of faith … a small
contribution to a work of art we are
collectively creating, which is what
“reality” is. You and I are doing it right
now. I’m trying my best to influence you,
and you’re deciding whether to let me do
that, whether you trust me … whether we
share the same “reality.”
This process (or
this negotiation, if you will) is
never-ending, and there is no escape from
it. Pretending that it isn’t happening —
that we are not creating “reality” together
with every choice we make — is childish, and
is particularly dangerous at a time like
this, when
a new form of totalitarianism is being
rolled out all across the world. This is
not the time to retreat into fantasies. As I
noted in
Part I of this piece, we are in a
propaganda war, and we are losing.
GloboCap is manufacturing a new “reality,”
a pathologized-totalitarian “reality.”
Either you accept it, and conform to it, or
you oppose it. Those are the choices. There
are no other choices.
All right, now that
we’ve got that straight, let’s get down to
the propaganda at hand, and what it is that
I am urging you to do.
HOPKINS DOES IT AGAIN-- pithily but
grimly summing up a key component of the ongoing
assault on our liberties and
the rule of law. I strongly advise everyone to
heed him.
Set your cap now for adamant,
tooth and nail resistance to any kind of
"passport" or "papers" in order to enjoy a
semblance of going about your business and
your affairs as you were doing 14 months
ago. Insist on simply resuming going about
your business and your affairs EXACTLY as
you were doing 14 months ago.
Start making it clear to local
business owners that since anyone who wants one is
able to get a "vaccine" (and/or
wear a hazmat suit), there is no
credible reason for their businesses to even
demand masks and "social distancing", much
less "passports". Make clear to them that by
continuing to insist on these pointless
"mitigation measures" they are contributing
to the systematic compromise of every
customer's immune system, making all of them
dangerously vulnerable to every pathogen of
the tens of thousands out there against
which they haven't been vaccinated.
Take charge, people, or someone
else will take charge of you.
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

"It does not take a majority to prevail...

brushfires of freedom in the minds of men."
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.

Do You Know What Happens When
YOU Decide To "Let Someone Else Do It"?
NOTHING.

do something. What I can do, I should do and, with the help of God,
I will do."

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.
August 23- In 1305, Scottish patriot William Wallace is
tortured to death by command of Edward I of England for "treason". In 1989, a
420-mile-long human chain of as many as two million Latvian, Estonians and
Lithuanians formed demanding independence from the Soviet Union. In 1990,
Armenia declares its independence from the Soviet Union. In 2003, 'Cracking
the Code- The Fascinating Truth About Taxation In America' is published.
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.

A Wise Warrior With An
Uplifting Message
DON LA VIGNE, a long-time warrior
and real American grown-up, shares a nice and inspiring
testimonial on what
CtC has done for him for over nine years now:
"Like a muddied stream or a polluted fountain
is the righteous man who gives way before the wicked."
-Proverbs 25:26
"A nation of sheep begets a government
of wolves."
-Edward R. Murrow

Illuminating anniversaries of this week:
August 26- In 1883, Krakatoa erupted
with a force estimated at 13,000 times that of the atom bomb dropped on
Hiroshima, generating a sound heard at least 2,000 miles away and destroying
most of the island on which the volcano sits. In 1920, American men grant
American women the right to vote by way of the 19th Amendment of the U.S.
Constitution (proving that the "patriarchy" is a myth).

“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."
August 27- In 1859, oil is discovered
in Titusville, Pennsylvania. In 1921, the British install King Faisal I of

1968, riots erupt at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. In 1991,
Ukraine declares its independence from the USSR, and Mikhail Gorbachev resigns
as Secretary of the Soviet Communist Party. In 2016, Brazil's president is
impeached and removed from office.
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."
-Ex-Exodus 23:1-3
