September 9- In 1543, Mary Stuart is crowned Queen of Scotland at the
seasoned age of nine months. In 1776, the Continental Congress names the new
union of sovereign states the "United States". In 1850, California is admitted
to the union as the 31st of the several states. In 1926, NBC (the National
Broadcasting Company) is founded. In 1956, Elvis Presley makes his first
appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show. In 1993, the Palestinian Liberation
Organization (PLO) formally recognizes Israel as a legitimate state. In 2016,
North Korea conducts its 5th nuclear weapons test.

"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….."

S. & K. On
Learning And Using The Liberating Truth
Two Patriots' Progress.
HERE IS S. & K'S VICTORY CHECK:
...and
here is
the filing that produced it, after a little back
and forth over an IRS request for clarification of
S. & K.'s report of amounts withheld,
which can be seen
here
and
here.
You'll have noticed that there's a
difference between the total amount claimed and the
amount S. & K. have gotten so far. This is
because the IRS is attempting to run a little scam
on the couple.
S. & K. are being subjected
to an increasingly common, very lame IRS effort to
admit the truth about the tax while still hoping to
hang onto some of S. & K.'s property. The
scam involves an agency pretense that S. &
K.'s 1040 claimed a smaller amount than it
really did and waiting to see if they will demand
the rest or just play along with the falsehood and
let sleeping dogs lie, so to speak.
As seen here on this excerpt from
the CP12
S. and K. received, the agency has
admitted that the couple did nothing taxable,
received no "income", and owe no tax for 2018:
The agency simply misrepresents the
amount withheld from S. & K., and which
was duly reported on both their accompaniments to
their 1040 and the 1040 itself. The agency has
excluded the amounts withheld as FICA taxes (Social
security and Medicare taxes), and proposes to keep
them for no reason.
The IRS appears to be hoping that
S. & K. are unaware that it is required by
law to return those amounts, at
26 U.S.C. § 3503:
Any tax paid under
chapter 21 or 22 by a taxpayer with respect to any
period with respect to which he is not liable to tax
under such chapter shall be credited against the
tax, if any, imposed by such other chapter upon the
taxpayer, and the balance, if any, shall be
refunded.
...and that its admission that S.
& K. had no "wages" under Chapter 24 of the
IRC (expressed not only in the black-and-white
statement above, but by returning everything
withheld from them pursuant to that chapter) is also
an admission that they did nothing by which any FICA
tax liability can be measured and established,
per Rowan Cos. v. United States, 452 US 247
(1981).
SO, ANNOYINGLY, S. & K. will
have to go to a little more trouble to be properly
made whole, and the already over-worked federal
courts will end up a bit more clogged at everyone
else's expense because some bad apple at the IRS
wants to play games and try to evade the law. How
scandalous.
I wonder if any of the journalists who
focus on tax subjects will raise a little noise over
this outrageous agency behavior, and if the
responsible party will get sanctioned? Both
certainly ought to happen.
But hats off to S. & K.!
“Persons dealing with the government
are charged with knowing government statutes and
regulations, and they assume the risk that
government agents may exceed their authority and
provide misinformation.”
A LOT of folks meriting recognition are
in the queue-- let's meet a few more of them!
Jacob from South Carolina
JACOB IS A YOUNG MAN with the happy
circumstance of having learned the liberating truth
early enough to get things right on the tax front
straight out of the gate. Here is his first
CtC-educated victory in upholding the law:
DALE HAS ALSO SECURED his first victory
on behalf of the rule of law-- this one a complete
refund from Pennsylvania of everything withheld from
his earnings and given to the state during 2018
against the possibility of a tax that he never ended
up owing:
Dale is still preparing his submission
of the filing that produced this refund...
***
Ian Conners
IAN'S IS A BIG STORY... This business
owner learned the truth about the tax early this
year and realized that he had much to do to bring
himself into conformity with the law. Ian wasted no
time.
Among other things, Ian was obliged to
correct years-worth of declarations made in earlier
ignorance about the legal character of payments made
by his business. Some of these corrections can be
seen
here,
here,
here
and here.
Ian also was compelled to amend past business
returns (see
here,
here
and here)..
The response by the United States to
Ian's newly-knowledgeable rectifications was quick
and
comprehensive (and interest-bearing where
appropriate):
IAN ALSO AMENDED past personal filings
(see, for instance,
here
and here),
resulting in two acknowledgements so far (see
here and
here) and this refund:
BOOM!
GOTTA LOVE ALL THESE HEROES!! Jacob and
Dale and Ian join Steve and Kristin Stackelhouse in
the ranks of good American men and women who are
doing the Founders' work by binding down an
out-of-control state with the chains of the
Constitution.
The victories of all these fine folks
join those of the tens of thousands of other
awakened and activated Americans represented
here. Each constitutes another critical step
toward the restoration of
the Founders republic and the true rule of law.
Don't you wish your victories were
proudly posted, too?
AND, HEY! DON'T YOU WISH YOUR INSPIRING
BEING-THE-STORM VIDEO was posted, like Steve's?
This is easy to do, and very important (plus it can
get you some great losthorizons swag!). See (and
carefully read in their entirety)

The Entire Legal And
Practical Truth About The Income Tax In Three Short
Sentences
Focus on these simple points and
you can teach anyone the truth about the tax.
1. The income tax is an
excise.
2. Excise taxes are taxes
on the gainful exercise of privileges.
3. You probably didn't earn your
money by exercising any taxable privilege (or earned very
little that way).
September 10- In 1823, Simón Bolivar is named
President of Peru. In 1951, the United Kingdom begins an economic boycott of
Iran. In 1977, Hamida Djandoubi becomes the last person executed by guillotine
in France after being convicted of torture and murder. In 1988, historians take
note that it was the 149th 10th of September since Iran last initiated military
aggression against anyone.
President Donald Trump, who canceled a
missile strike on Iran after the shoot-down of a
U.S. Predator drone to avoid killing Iranians, may
not want a war. But the same cannot be said of Bibi
Netanyahu.
Saturday, Israel launched a night
attack on a village south of Damascus to abort what
Israel claims was a plot by Iran’s Revolutionary
Guards’ Quds Force to fly “killer drones” into
Israel, an act of war.
Sunday, two Israeli drones crashed
outside the media offices of Hezbollah in Beirut.
Israel then attacked a base camp of the Popular
Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General
Command in north Lebanon.
Monday, Israel admitted to a strike on
Iranian-backed militias of the Popular Mobilization
Forces in Iraq. And Israel does not deny
responsibility for last month’s attacks on munitions
dumps and bases of pro-Iran militias in Iraq.
Israel has also confirmed that, during
Syria’s civil war, it conducted hundreds of strikes
against pro-Iranian militias and ammunition depots
to prevent the transfer of missiles to Hezbollah in
Lebanon.
Understandably, Israel’s weekend
actions have brought threats of retaliation.
Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah has
warned of vengeance over the deaths of his people in
the Syria strike.
Quds Force General Qassem Soleimani
reportedly tweeted from Tehran, “These insane
operations will be the last struggles of the Zionist
regime.” Lebanese President Michel Aoun called the
alleged Israeli drone attack on Beirut a
“declaration of war.”
Last Friday, in the 71st week of the
“Great March of Return” protests on Gaza’s border,
50 Palestinians were wounded by Israeli live fire.
In 16 months, 200 have died from gunshots, with
thousands wounded.
America’s reaction to Israel’s weekend
attacks? Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called
Netanyahu to assure him of U.S. support. Some Iraqi
leaders are now calling for the expulsion of
Americans.
I HOPE YOU READ ALL of Buchanan's article.
Though characteristically equivocal in his
presentation, Buchanan gets to the central point: It
would be wrong, counter-productive and foolish to
allow Bibi Netanyahu's interests to be made our own,
whether by operation of mob dynamics, or by simple
political craft on behalf of the personal agendas of
death-cultists like Mike Pompeo.
But, you know, "wrong,
counter-productive and foolish" aren't
considerations taken by those with personal agendas
which can be satisfied by state action, and who have
control of the state's power. Every American outside
whatever has been Washington's cabal de jour at any
given time over the last 30 years could oppose a
decision over which the cabal was enthused and would
be ignored completely. The cabal always gets its
way.
THINK "BANK BAILOUT", for
example. EVERYBODY opposed that in 2008, when it was
proposed, in numbers that even rocked the cabal back
on its heels for a week. But the bailouts happened
anyway.
Think "REAL ID". Opposition was so
strong that the initial roll-out of this pernicious
program was abandoned back in 2005, with some noise
and breast-beating. But guess what? It's baaaack...
Next year you will have to have a REAL ID in order
to enter a federal building or fly on a commercial
airplane, just to start with.
Opposition to any or all of the insane,
morally-depraved wars the United States has launched
over the last 30 years has been considerable. But
the warring continues.
Here's the bottom line: Your mere
opinion means little or nothing to those in power.
Even your voting practices mean little or nothing--
your meaningful choices in the ballot box are
largely controlled by the beneficiaries of the
status quo. Think about the manipulations by which
Ron Paul's 2008 and 2012 candidacies were hobbled,
for instance.
Uphold the law. Teach it to everyone
else you can reach.
The current path down which America
slides is not irreversible-- but we all need to act.
The consequence of that righteous action will be
amazing, in the end.
September 11- In 1789, Alexander Hamilton is made
the first United States Secretary of the Treasury. In 1922, the British Mandate
of Palestine begins. In 1941, ground is broken for the construction of The
Pentagon. In 1973, a CIA-backed coup deposes the elected Allende administration
and place Augusto Pinochet in power. In 2001, three skyscrapers inexplicably
collapse, the U.S. air defense system inexplicably fails to launch a single
plane, the Pentagon's surface to air defense system and surveillance systems
inexplicably fail, etc., etc., etc.. Learn all about this monumental-- and
monumentally-important-- charade here.

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."
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?
An old joke, but in regard to this deceiver,
not a laughing matter at all.
““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.
September 12- In 1848, Switzerland adopts
federalism- a weak, highly limited-authority national governing entity serving
the aggregate interests of a coalition of sovereign states (Cantons). In 1990,
plans for the reunification of Germany after 45 years of division are formalized
by the signing of the 'Treaty on the Final Settlement With Respect to Germany'.
"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."
-Frederick Douglass
"It does not take a majority to prevail...
but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting
brushfires of freedom in the minds of men."

1--“We must reject…
…the broad contention submitted in behalf of
the government that all receipts—everything
that comes in—are income…”.
United States Supreme
Court, So. Pacific v. Lowe, 247 U.S. 330, (1918)
2—The income tax in
the United States was first instituted into
law on July 1, 1862, during Lincoln’s presidency
under the excise laws of the United States.
The preamble to the 1939 Internal Revenue Code
traces its roots to this original income tax

Trolls Against The Truth: A
Dis-Information Campaign
UNLESS YOU'VE LOOKED, you can have no idea
of the volume, intensity and mendacity deployed in the
government's efforts to discourage Americans from learning
what is revealed in
CtC. It's truly astonishing.
A lot of folks are aware of the show-trial
events in which my wife and I have received state-engineered
public beatings meant to scare people away from the
truth about the "ignorance tax" scam. But many are unaware
of the overall campaign. This is a shame, really, because
a focused propaganda effort like this one is a very
powerful acknowledgement of the significance of
CtC's revelations.
While the majority of Americans do not
yet know how
CtC protects them from the vampire state, the vampire
itself certainly does. Dis-information campaigns like
this one make that very clear.
FORMER CBS REPORTER SHERYL ATKISSON describes
some aspects of this sort of dis-information campaign
in the following video. Despite the annoying preliminary
15 seconds or so of advertising, her presentation is
very much worth watching:
(H/T to Greg Belcher for finding
and forwarding this great presentation.)
Losthorizons.com is one of those websites specifically-targeted
by the corrupt interests at Wikipedia described by Atkisson.
The behind-the-scenes folks at that site won't allow
links on their pages to anything posted at
losthorizons.com, nor even just text corrections
of misinformation in their pages about the income tax.
That's the least of it. Click
here for some specific discussion of the enormous
scare campaign that's been actively spreading false
information in hope of discouraging legitimate media
attention, as well as men and women simply seeking the
truth about the tax and liberty from the scourge of
the "ignorance tax".
PLEASE GIVE SOME SERIOUS THOUGHT to the
fact that YOU being secure in your own freedom rests
on others learning the truth as well, and recognize
that it falls to you to help overcome the dis-information
campaign. Post and share
your videos;
share your victories; help silence the agents-provocateur
and distraction-injectors whose nonsense is discussed
and debunked
here; and widely (and frankly, impatiently) share
this page,
this page and
this page, challenging everyone in your address
book to disconnect the phone and the TV for an afternoon
and get educated.
Doing these things will be what makes it
happen, Cap'n.

OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS I've heard from
a number of folks that a firewall known as "Comodo"
blocks access to this website. This is apparently a
glitch in that program. This site is safe, as can be
seen by going
here.
Please share this info with others in your
own address book so it gets around-- obviously those
suffering the ill effects of this defect in Comodo won't
be able to see it here themselves until they go into
their firewall settings and manually whitelist

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
losthorizons.com comprising higher level legal
resources now requires the submission of 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.”
September 14- In 1814, Francis Scott Key composes
'The Star Spangled Banner' after watching the bombardment of Fort McHenry in
Baltimore by British warships during the War of 1812. In 1847, American forces
led by Winfield Scott capture Mexico City during the Mexican-American War. In
1901, President William McKinley dies and is succeeded in office by Theodore
Roosevelt. In 1948, ground is broken in New York City for the headquarters of
the United Nations. In 1959, the Soviet 'Luna 2' becomes the first man-made
object to reach the Moon. In 2003, Sweden, by national referendum, rejects
adoption of the 'Euro'.
We each have our reasons, and our story.
It's time, and it's needed, for you to share yours with
the world.
"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).
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. If you haven't
yet begun to act, speak of your decision to do so, and
your plans.
Remember, your purpose is to INSPIRE, ENCOURAGE
and ENERGIZE.
If you're dealing with ongoing balkiness,
describe that, too, if you wish-- but be sure to explain
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.
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, or a 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, but 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.

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:
September 15- In 1789, the United States
Department of Foreign Affairs (now the Department of State), is commissioned.
In 1916, tanks are used in battle for the first time. In 1997, historians take
note that it was the 158th 15th of September since Iran last initiated military
aggression against anyone. In 2008, Lehman Brothers files the largest
bankruptcy in U.S. history (to that date).

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.
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."
-Exodus 23:1-3
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.
