The upgraded Fifteenth Edition of CtC is Now Available!

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.

(Refresh the page if you don't see the appropriate date when it loads.)

"There are two distinct classes of men...those who pay taxes and those who receive and live upon taxes."

- Thomas Paine

C'mon! CtC can't be right! You're crazy!

If CtC were actually right,

it would mean the government's been concealing and denying the truth for years on end,

and everybody knows THAT would never happen...

(Edward Snowden, come home! It was all just a bad dream; there really is No Such Agency!)

 

 

Do you know someone truly steeped in the Kool-Aid?

 

 I mean someone who finds it easier to believe that the far-better-educated, far-more-suspicious-of-government Americans of a hundred years ago were complete morons who granted authority to the state to take whatever it wished from themselves and their posterity than to imagine that they themselves simply misunderstand the true nature of the income tax? Even while knowing that their beliefs about the tax are derived entirely from the representations of those who profit from those beliefs (like tax bureaucrats and "tax professionals")?

 

Do you know someone like that? Shake them awake with the latest (fifteenth) edition of CtC!

 

 

I'm delighted when anyone wishes to share what I have posted here with others! Sharing this page is an important means of moving toward the restoration of the rule of law-- PLEASE DO IT!! But I'd appreciate your doing so by directing your friends here themselves, rather than by copying and emailing chunks of the material.

I Can't Help But Do Some More Celebrating...

...as lots more Americans bring the 1776 storm all across the country!

I HADN'T MEANT TO POST MORE VICTORIES THIS WEEK, having done so last week and the week before, and with that whole exercise being increasingly redundant. After all, how many do people need to see?

But I had a lot of folks share over the last seven days. Among the mix are some nice state victories, and the docs associated with those are often helpful to others in the particular state involved.

What's more, one of these new state victories is the third to be posted by a happy couple in Colorado, the second of which was shared just two weeks ago. Last week I made a point of posting new victories by two other folks featured in that earlier edition, so it's only fair that I promptly share this latest one by Justin & Brianna, too.

BEST AND MOST COMPELLING OF ALL, among the victories for the rule of law shared with me during the past week are federal and state victories for 2018 by a young man new in the working world but with his feet already firmly set on the liberty and personal power path by his very proud parents. I can't pass up this earliest opportunity to get those uplifting victories into the lights and in front of the world.

Despots tremble, and give thought to mending their ways, when young people make clear that their spell is broken, and the curtain is drawn back.

SO, WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, please join me in celebrating:

Brandon Payne

Here is the filing that produced this complete refund of everything withheld and given over to the feds during 2018.

***

Steve & Kristin Stackelhouse

Everything withheld and given over to South Carolina during 2018, from this filing:

...and everything withheld and given over to North Carolina during 2018-- plus interest-- from this filing:

***

Justin Gilmore & Brianna Osnain

This latest victory-- a complete refund of 2018 Colorado withholdings-- was secured with this filing.

***

Rudy & Hody List

Everything withheld and given over to the feds in 2018 recovered by way of this filing:

...and everything withheld and given over to Michigan recovered by way of this filing:

***

Griffin K.

GRIFFIN IS THE YOUNG MAN to whom I referred above-- just getting into the working world and already well into the stand-up serious-minded American world. I love it! Special hat-tip to this young grown-up.

Here is Griffin's complete federal refund of everything withheld and given to the feds in 2018, on this filing:

...and here is Griffin's South Carolina refund for 2018, secured by this filing:

Not a whole lot of money getting reclaimed here, but a whole lot of power surely is!

***

David Walter

Here is the filing by which David reclaimed everything withheld from him and given over to Illinois during 2017, plus interest.

***

BRANDON AND STEVE & KRISTIN AND JUSTIN & BRIANNA AND RUDY & HODY AND GRIFFIN AND DAVID'S 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. WELL DONE TO ALL OF THEM!!!

Don't you wish your victories were proudly posted, too?

It's easy. Stand up on behalf of the law, and then share the evidence.

That's all there is to it!

AND, HEY! DON'T YOU WISH YOUR INSPIRING BEING-THE-STORM VIDEO was posted? 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.

Notes And Tips For Educated Filers

Illuminating anniversaries of this week:

June 11- In 1345, the chief minister of the Byzantine Empire is lynched by detainees while inspecting a facility housing political prisoners.  In 1776, the Continental Congress appoints a committee to begin preparing a Declaration of Independence.  In 1805, fire destroys virtually all of Detroit, Michigan.  Unhindered by federal interference, the town is quickly rebuilt.  In 1963, Buddhist monk Thich Quang Duc immolates himself in a busy Saigon intersection to protest the lack of religious freedom in South Vietnam.  In 2001, Timothy McVeigh is executed for his role in the Oklahoma City Murrah Building bombing.  In 2002, New Yorker Antonio Meucci is recognized by the U.S. Congress as being the actual inventor of the telephone, years before Alexander Graham Bell's similar invention.  In 2018, "3 World Trade Center" opens.

Why Donald Trump Should Be Impeached

It's not for "obstruction of justice"...

The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

United States Constitution, Article II, Section IV

SO, I KNOW THE TITLE OF THIS ARTICLE rubs a lot of folks the wrong way. And I get it.

For better or for worse, many Americans invested emotionally in Trump. They bought into the sales pitch that Trump was the "non-politician" who was going to break the mold, drain the swamp, change things up.

In other words, a lot of folks viewed Trump through exactly the same rose-colored glasses applied to every new face in the Oval Office by a big swath of the American people. The only difference with DJT is that the emotional investment is a bit stronger than usual.

THE HIGHER-THAN-USUAL INVESTMENT IN TRUMP (which was also enjoyed by Barack Obama) is because Americans increasingly perceive this beloved country going way off the rails at a frighteningly high speed. With the CtC solution continuing to be successfully suppressed by government corruption, journalistic inattention and an insufficiency of vigorous activism (a change in any one of which would turn things around-- which one is within YOUR power?), Americans hang their hopes for a fix on "white knight" fantasies.

"The new guy riding into town isn't like the others," people tell themselves, in a big buy-in to campaign rhetoric carefully sculpted to encourage just such a delusion. In Trump's case the buy-in has been turbo-charged by the seemingly manic apparent opposition to him by "Never Trumpers" in establishment Republican ranks (which many Trump supporters have long viewed as a big part of the problem) and by the "liberal" community.

This apparent manic opposition conveys the sense that Trump must really be a threat to the status quo, else the architects and beneficiaries of the status quo wouldn't be so exercised about his presidency, right? If the pigs are squealing so loudly, that new farmer must have them on short slops, right?

It's a great political boost. Maybe this is why Trump has been so lackadaisical in his responses to the Mueller investigation, which he could easily have torpedoed years ago with a simple airing from his bully pulpit of the well-established but MSM deep-sixed fact that the DNC emails were copied onto a thumb-drive by a whistle-blowing insider and in no way "hacked"-- by Russians or anyone else.

HOWEVER, THE "DIFFERENT" THING really is just delusional. Trump is business-as-usual in Washington. His only distinction from what has gone before is in the idiosyncrasies of the superficial pandering required to keep his particular grass-roots base feeling loved.

In fact (and to the point of this article), Donald Trump has persisted in Constitution- and statute-violating conduct committed by each of at least his five most recent predecessors, and added a few new ones to the mix, as well. Let's look at them:

  • Trump has perpetuated massive Fourth Amendment violations by the NSA, spying without warrants on every American (and everyone else, too).

  • Trump has committed repeated violations of the Constitution's delegation to Congress alone of the power of initiating war (including a vicious ongoing assault on Iran by way of murderous sanctions, participation in the barbaric Saudi assault on the people of Yemen, and missile strikes and the arming and training of terrorist insurgents in Syria, along with what are likely other examples not yet come to light-- such as in Central Africa, for instance...).

  • Trump is engaged in a huge First Amendment violation by way of the indictment and persecution of Julian Assange.

  • Trump is in persistent violation of 22 U.S.C. §§ 2799aa and 2799aa-1 (as fully explained and documented here), which prohibits foreign aid-- economic and military-- to any country in possession of nuclear weapons and/or which has acquired nuclear-weapons-related technology or shared nuclear-weapons-related technology, while having not subjected itself to International Atomic Energy Agency oversight and controls.

  • Trump has perpetuated the "ignorance tax" scheme during his time in office, even overseeing its exacerbation through an increasingly-rigid IRS evasion of FOIA requests for internal documents revealing deployment of the "ARG44 frivolous return penalty" hoax.

Each one of these violations merit impeachment and removal from office. In fact, each and every one of these violations demand impeachment and removal from office.

However...

THERE IS AN EFFORT UNDERWAY BY SOME IN CONGRESS (and others) to pursue impeachment of Donald Trump merely on the grounds of "obstruction of justice", based on evidence (or at least allegations) presented in the "Mueller Report". This effort is misguided and harmful.

While I have not read the full Mueller Report myself, what I have seen has made clear that it is a sloppy, allegation-rich, evidence-free assemblage of politically-motivated eyewash. Thus, just on the most rudimentary level, an attempt to pursue impeachment based on anything in that report is bound to result in many months of rancorous, partisan exchanges of empty rhetoric, with a certain defeat in the Senate waiting at the end of the catfight.

Much more to the point, even if an impeachment on an "obstruction" charge succeeded, it would present no deterrence to Trump's successors against any of the far more serious offenses outlined above. Further, to forego impeachment for the offenses outlined above-- whether in realistic hope of success on an obstruction charge or not-- is to endorse them.

What a far-too-long-supine and co-opted Congress should do is issue a loud mea culpa acknowledging its past institutional abdications and culpabilities and then begin the process of making amends and reacquainting itself with its own powers and duties by impeaching Trump. Shyness from hypocrisy has seldom hindered any of these folks in doing the wrong thing in the past; it certainly can't justify any failure to do the right thing now.

SO, URGE YOUR CONGRESSCRITTERS to proceed full-steam on impeachment. But only on the proper grounds, which means on each and every one of the grounds in that bullet-point list above.

Impeachment is a serious business. It is available and intended to boot office-holders suspected of pedestrian crimes like "obstruction of justice", of course. But its bigger and better purpose is to repudiate bad policy and steer America away from dangerous paths toward which her feet have been led by law-defying executives.

Sadly, the will for impeachment arises only rarely. It should be a routine event.

Speaking of "Shays' Rebellion" in Massachusetts in 1787, Thomas Jefferson said this:

“God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. ... And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.”

Surely such a mundane, peaceful and often obviously sensible and appropriate remedy as impeachment of an offending executive ought to be called upon at least as often as Jefferson's prescribed schedule for armed rebellions!

But it is not.

Therefore, this moment of the hot iron should be carefully used to maximum advantage. That means squaring up and conducting Donald Trump's impending impeachment-- for the right reasons.

A Word From The United Bitches of America

NOTE: If you share this video around (and I know you will), keep in mind that some viewers will fool themselves into thinking that just forwarding such things around is the same as actually doing something to fix the problem of the criminal state.

YOU'VE BEEN SCREWED HARD your entire adult life by the biggest Deep State scheme in American history. See it exposed in just a few pages of documentation at https://losthorizons.com/A/TheNatureOfTheTax.pdf.

AND HERE IS SOMETHING TO POST anywhere possible as a response to righteous-- but thus far toothless- expressions of outrage at what is being done to Julian Assange and our right to know what our servant government is really up to:

So, Friend, you rightly raise hell about the outrages being perpetrated on the heroic Julian Assange. And yet, you continue to personally finance every one of those outrages, and have made no effort to inform your readers of the fact that the odds are neither they, nor you, need be doing so under the law.

I challenge and implore you to visit https://losthorizons.com/The16th.htm. Learn the liberating and empowering truth about the American income tax that has led tens of thousands of American men and women to cease paying for the war crimes and other offenses Julian Assange has exposed, and also to be spared the moral taint for financing the "official" street crimes of the kind by which Assange is being victimized.

These educated Americans have taken back $billions (with a "b") from the United States-- see about 1,300 examples of these complete recoveries of amounts withheld or paid-in as tax at https://losthorizons.com/BulletinBoard.htm. See what it would mean if more Americans knew what these good folks know, at https://losthorizons.com/CtCLife.htm. Spread this critically-important information and become a big part of the solution, rather than continuing to be a small but definite part of the problem.

(NOTE: A little customization as needed will make this a suitable post in response to griping about any number of government offenses...)

++++

BTW, if you do tweets, gabs and posts of your own composition (as I hope you do), PLEASE make a point of including links to the material on losthorizons that you want your readers to see! Find them all here and here (a newsfeed reader will be needed to see the links at that latter resource, which lists and links to all newsletter articles of the last year or so...).

Illuminating Anniversaries of this week:

June 12- In 1775, British general Thomas Gage declares martial law in Massachusetts, and calls on all rebels to give up their firearms.  Amnesty is promised to all who will do so, with the exception of Samuel Adams and John Hancock, who are to be summarily hanged if apprehended.  The Americans (all still technically British subjects) tell the government to go pound sand.  In 1776, the Virginia Convention of Delegates unanimously adopts the Virginia Declaration of Rights.  In 1963, civil rights activist Medgar Evers is shot.  In 1964, Nelson Mandela is sentenced to life in prison for sabotage in South Africa.

A VERY IMPORTANT NOTE FOR EVERYONE!!!

DUE TO CHRONIC AND ESCALATING interferences by ISPs (or others) which have made direct newsletter emails an extremely time-consuming and increasingly unreliable announcement mechanism, I have transitioned to alternative announcement methods. These include:

  • A custom group on Google by which the newsletter emails will be delivered straight to your inbox (click on the link and subscribe to the group-- leave all options in their default states);

  • Twitter (click here to follow me and receive the announcement posts);

  • Facebook (click here to "like" the losthorizons page and receive the announcement posts);

  • GAB (click here to follow me and receive the announcement posts).

If you choose one of these social media options (or use them in addition to other means, as I wish you would), PLEASE get the full value out of them by diligently "liking" and "retweeting" or "sharing" or "reposting" my posts! That will significantly improve their visibility to others, and very much help the cause!!

  • My RSS feed:

(Members of the state CtC Warrior forums in AZ, CA, CO, FL, GA, IL, MI, MN, MO, NE, NY, NC, OH, OR, PA, SC, TX, UT, VA, WA or WI, will continue to get the regular announcements if the membership is set to receive email updates.)

NOTE: I will still not be engaging in correspondence by any of these alternative means-- those wishing to correspond with me should continue to use direct email for this purpose.

NOTE II: PLEASE help ensure that others in the CtC community know about this change in newsletter delivery!!

Hey, Gamers!

The Biggest Snow-Job In World History: The Myth That 1913 America Adopted A Marxist Progressive Tax On "All That Comes In"

Thank goodness the sun is now shining...

 

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 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...

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

 

 

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

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.

Media Evasion Of CtC Must End, Now

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

 

Illuminating Anniversaries of this week:

June 14- In 1648, Margaret Jones becomes the first person hanged for witchcraft in Massachusetts Colony.  In 1775, the Continental Army is established.  In 1777, the Stars and Stripes is adopted by Congress as the flag of the United States.  In 1789, whiskey is distilled from maize by the Rev. Elijah Craig.  It is given the name 'Bourbon' after his home county of Bourbon, Kentucky.  In 1900, seven years after its government is overthrown by the U.S. military at the request of locally-invested American business interests, Hawaii is declared a territory of the United States.  In 1937, as a sop to out-of-work alcohol-prohibition-warriors, the U.S. House passes the Marihuana Tax Act.  In 1938, Superman is introduced to the world.  In 1940, the concentration camp at Auschwitz receives its first prisoners.  In 1966, the Vatican announces the abolition of its 400-year-old "index of prohibited books".

 

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...

18 Ways Julian Assange Changed The World

by Lee Camp

Julian Assange is a dick. It’s important you understand that.

Assange and WikiLeaks revealed the American military’s war crimes, the American government’s corruption and the American corporate media’s pathetic servile flattery to the power elite. So, if you’re a member of our ruling class, you would view those as textbook examples of dickery.

In a moment I’m going to list all the ways Julian Assange changed the world by being a dick.

In an evolved and fully realized society, the oligarchy would see Assange as a dangerous criminal (which they do), and the average working men and women would view him as justice personified (which they don’t). We would celebrate him even as the mass media told us to hope for his downfall—like a Batman or a Robin Hood or an Ozzy Osbourne (the early years, not the cleaning-dog-turds-off-his-carpet years).

Click here to read the rest of this article

...and then proceed to the afterword below...

 

I hope you read all of Camp's article. It's a fun bit of satire along with a sharp skewering of the destructive tripe to which Americans are steadily subjected at the hands of state and statist propaganda-mongers.

More importantly, Camp helps cut through some of the nonsense being used to alienate Julian Assange from the American people so they will watch passively as he is used to bring down our critically-important freedom of the press (a proper understanding of which can be gotten here). Camp's summary of major WikiLeaks gifts to the world over the years is especially valuable.

The only problem with the article is its failure to offer a remedy to the outrageous assault against which it rails.

But I'll fill in that blank:

Attacks on truth-tellers will stop when successful gate-keeping of facts no longer promises control of vast pools of wealth extracted from American men and women. This will happen when those men and women have stopped sending those vast pools of wealth to the state. Thus, as with so many other matters of the swamp, the only solution is the CtC solution, which is to say, the Founders' solution.

In short, We the People (you and me) have to do as the Founders meant for us to do, and stop fueling bad behavior by people in power. We must make ourselves once again strong-- at their expense-- just as they have made themselves strong at our expense over the last 80 years!

Aren't you REALLY, REALLY glad YOU'VE had the fortitude and clarity of vision to do that?

Now ask yourself this: Have I really done all that I can to urge everyone I know to also stand up and act in the only way that will really bring about change in my lifetime?

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..."

Illuminating Anniversaries of this week:

June 15- In 1215, King John (who had imposed Britain's first income tax), is forced at sword-point to put his seal to the Magna Carta and subordinate himself to the rule of law.  John repudiates his act as soon as the forces that had brought him to heel leave town, and Pope Innocent II steps in to annul the "shameful and demeaning agreement, forced upon the King by violence and fear".  John dies during the subsequent civil war.  In 1752, Benjamin Franklin proves that lightning is electricity.  In 1775, George Washington is appointed commander of the Continental Army.  In 1836, Arkansas is admitted to the union as the 25th of the several states.  In 1844, Charles Goodyear receives a patent for vulcanization of rubber.  In 1911, the Tabulating Computing Recording Corporation is founded.  (It later changed its name to IBM.)  In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signs a bill incorporating the Boy Scouts of America, making them the only American youth organization with a federal charter.

About The Author

Pete Hendrickson is possibly the most effective lawyer in history, even while never having set foot in a law school, nor ever being a card-carrying member of "the bar". He is the first American in history to secure a complete refund of Social Security and Medicare ‘contributions’ withheld from his earnings (along with all other property taken for federal taxes); further, since 2003 students of his legal analyses and arguments in ‘Cracking the Code- The Fascinating Truth About Taxation In America’’ (CtC), and its sequel, 'Was Grandpa Really a Moron?' have been routinely retaining and recovering billions of dollars which otherwise-- wrongly, but as a matter of course-- would have gone to federal or state government treasuries. This despite concerted efforts by government to suppress his work, and in some cases vigorously oppose the claims by his students.

Hendrickson is also a widely-read essayist on matters of politics, public policy and law; many of these works are collected in his second book, ‘Upholding the Law And Other Observations’. He is a member of Mensa; an award-winning artist; and has paid his dues as a youth soccer coach. He is a long-time political activist as well, and has served as co-chair and platform convention delegate of Michigan’s largest county Libertarian Party organization; as a consultant to the National Right to Work Foundation and Citizens for a Sound Economy; as a member of the Heartland Institute; and as a member of the International Society for Individual Liberty. He is a frequent radio-show guest on stations across the country.

Hendrickson's business career has included nearly a decade-and-a-half at the leading edge of the renewable-energy industry, both as Director of Purchasing and Materials Management and member of the R&D board at Starpak Energy Systems, the mid-west's then-largest solar heating and energy-recovery-and re-utilization company; and as founder and president of AFJ Inc., a high-efficiency lighting design, manufacture and installation firm.

Beginning in the mid-1990s and continuing for the twelve years before his present full-time focus on the restoration of the rule of law in America, Hendrickson directed purchasing activities for the $84 million-a-year multi-family-housing division of the Farmington Hills, Michigan branch of Edward Rose and Sons, with responsibility for 18,000+ apartments, direct supervision of 35 technicians and agents, and incidental authority over several hundred divisional workers. He also ran the division's 10 cable television earth-station and distribution systems in four states, and designed and administered the company's website.

On rather the other end of the spectrum, amidst these more mundane pursuits Hendrickson co-founded and was the primary creative force behind a small board- and card-game company that enjoyed a modest success for several years.

Hendrickson makes his home in southeast Michigan, with his wife and two children. He is currently working on his next book.
