Btw, a copy of
CtC from anywhere except the link above may not

or even give you for free-- any such thing.
October 7- In 1777, the British are handed a massive defeat and loss of
an entire army by American militia in the Battle of Bemis Heights near Saratoga,
New York. In 1868, Cornell University's opening day hosts an enrolled student
body of 412-- the largest in any American university up to that time. In 1959,
the Soviet probe 'Luna III' transmits the first-ever photographs of the dark
side of the Moon. In 2001, the United States invades Afghanistan on the pretext
that Osama bin Laden, a one-time CIA asset never yet charged with involvement in
the events of 9/11 (due to lack of evidence, according to the FBI), is living
there.

"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….."

Snowden Is The Man... But
He's Wrong
Encryption is not a prescription to
liberty and the rule of law-- or even just to
privacy. But this mistaken notion provides an
important opportunity for spreading the REAL
solution to the corrupt State.
I TAKE A BACKSEAT TO NO ONE in my
admiration and appreciation of Edward Snowden. In
fact, since early 2016 I've had a "Snowden for
President" bumper sticker on my car (with thanks to
the excellent Brian Wright, who had them printed up):
But as virtuous a hero as Ed Snowden
certainly is, his notion that encryption is an
answer to the Leviathan state-- much less, THE
answer, whether for restoration of the rule of law,
restraint of the state, or even just to ensure
personal privacy in our communications-- is
mistaken.
All
that Leviathan need do to nullify this "solution" is
to declare encryption illegal. Once a few of its courts have weaseled
their way to allowing such criminalization, and a
few folks have been prominently imprisoned for
violating the new "law", 99.9% of Americans will
drop encryption like a hot rock.
THE TRUE ANSWER to the government
crimes Edward Snowden revealed more effectively than
anyone else, and at great personal cost, is not
encryption. It is, rather,
the
starvation of the beast until it is Leviathan no
more, but shrunk back down to its proper
Declaration-sketched and
Constitutionally-constructed size and significance.
Shrunk to its proper size, even the
most evilly-intended state is incapable of
panopticon (and other Constitution- and
liberty-defying) offenses for simple lack of
resources and an inability to overawe the citizenry
and those they elect to office into compliance with
its vile desires.
CtC's revelations REALLY ARE the answer. Unfortunately,
the effort to suppress that fact by a Leviathan
that knows its own peril has been very successful,
so far.
HOWEVER, THE RECENT RELEASE of Edward Snowden's
book, 'Permanent Record', has handed everyone a
unique and fleeting opportunity to solve the problem
of too few Americans knowing how to really
solve the problem of the dangerous state. Here's
how:
Ed Snowden
has many, many fans here and around the world (and
for good reason). ALL of those folks are at the
moment open to messages (tweets, Facebook "shares",
email, and so forth) concerning this hero and his
recent book and its "encryption prescription".
Use that fleeting openness to awaken
these folks to the fact that encryption is NOT a
real solution, but
CtC's revelations
about the income tax ARE the real solution!!
Be creative, be focused, be persistent.
As I already said but probably can't
say enough, this is a unique opportunity and it
won't last long at all. A week or two more might be
all that is at hand.
October 8- In 1871, fires break out in Chicago (The Great Chicago
Fire) and Peshtigo, Wisconsin, on the west edge of Lake Michigan. On
the opposite side of the lake, conflagrations begin in Holland and
Manistee, Michigan, and Port Huron, Michigan, on the eastern edge of the
state (along with much of the rest of the "thumb"). About four square
miles of Chicago is destroyed-- the other locations are consumed
entirely. All were quickly re-built by citizens unhindered by FEMA. In
1974, the Franklin National Bank-- 20th largest bank in the country--
collapses due to fraud and mismanagement. This is the largest U.S. bank
failure in history to that time. In 2001, George Bush announces the
creation of the "Department of Homeland Security".
What post-republic, deep-state politics
is really all about.
EVER SEE THE MOVIE 'UP'? It's pretty
charming for a number of reasons, and I recommend
it. But right now I want to bring back to your
memory the portrayal of the good-hearted but
easily-distracted canine star of the film, Dug.
A feature of Dug's character was that
even while engaged in dealing with a really
important issue, catching a glimpse of a squirrel,
even just out of the corner of Dug's eye, would
completely derail his brain. A typical dog weakness,
and wonderfully-played by the writers.
Post-republic, deep-state political
science is the Art of the Squirrel, as portrayed by
Dug in 'Up'.
Here's how it works: You, the electorate (and more
importantly, the power-holding but matrix-deluded
citizenry) are Dug. The "squirrels" are any
non-deep-state-threatening distraction that can be
trotted out of the wings whenever it is necessary to
keep you from getting (or staying) focused on real
threats to your well-being, and/or real solutions to
those threats.
Anytime you start looking closely at
the roots of the problem, your attention gets yanked
up to the branches above by the timely appearance of
a noisy "squirrel". Where you might, if left
undistracted, have gone on to wield an axe where it
would really do some good, instead you are made to
switch gears and shake your fist at the sideshow
"squirrel".
THE CURRENT "IMPEACHMENT" CHARADE is
just such a squirrel show. Donald Trump has engaged
in a multitude of genuine high crimes and
misdemeanors on the basis of which he should be
impeached. For instance:
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.
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.
But none of these offenses-- genuine
American consideration of which would be a dire
threat to the deep state and a roadmap to the
restoration of the republic and a genuine rule of
law-- is being discussed or debated.
INSTEAD, THE AMERICAN PUBLIC is focused
on squirrelly allegations of impropriety by Trump
which amount to this: Trump is accused of having
asked the new president of Ukraine, on implied pain
of withheld foreign aid if refused, to reverse the
corrupt firing-- done at the behest of
then-vice-president Joe Biden, and on pain of the
withholding of a big chunk of foreign aid if
refused-- of a prosecutor who had been looking into
criminal activity by a Ukraine firm paying $millions
to Hunter Biden.
Right or wrong, what Trump is alleged
to have done here pales into utter insignificance in
the glaring light of the real offenses listed above.
But by having the Democrats in Congress take this
nonsense up and use it to push Trump-supporter
buttons, who then turn around and push grass-roots
Democrat buttons, with both sides quickly wound
right up into a regular middle-school slap-fight
fiesta, the deep state has successfully distracted
the American people away from any scrutiny or focus
that would threaten its interests.
An America undistracted by this
half-assed impeachment debate (and any of a
multitude of other squirrels) would have had time
and mental energy needed to cotton-on to the fact
that Donald Trump's presidency is in no way a
bleeding wound in the deep state's side. Instead,
Trump is a faithful, if somewhat unusually-theatrical,
servant of its interests, as shown in smallest part
by that list above.
IN FACT, TRUMP HIMSELF is among the
biggest squirrel-launchers in modern history--
indeed, in his erratic behavior he seems to relish
squirrel-hood as a personal role. The man sends
rodents out endlessly while just as endlessly
committing every crime of policy and practice
desired by those who saw him into office as a
pretended polar opposite of Hillary Clinton.
Hillary would have committed all the
same offenses as well, of course, just as had Barack
Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and so on. But
the masters of the deep state have learned when to
throw a change-up, and what a choice they found in
Donald Trump! Not only anathema to the Democrats--
guaranteeing some good churn in the pot from that,
as usual-- but even unsettling and
opposition-prompting to the Pooh-Ba ranks of the
Republican party, as well!
What a shame that so many Americans are
so Dug-like in their mental faculties.
DON'T BE DUG. Keep your eyes on the
root of the problem, not the branches where pesky
squirrel-distractions vie for your attention.
In fact keep your AXES on the root of
the problem. Get that damn tree cut down and
there'll be no more squirrel habitat to begin with.
October 9- In 1003, Leif Erikson lands in North
America. In 1635, Roger Williams is banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony
for opposing the administration of secular punishments for religious offenses
and the theft of Native American lands. He goes on to found Rhode Island. In
1701, Yale University is chartered. In 1888, the Washington Monument opens to
the public. In 2001, the second batch of "anthrax

Remember 'War Games'?
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.
Overcoming The Roadblocks
Meant To Keep You From Getting A Live Human Being On
The Line At The IRS
These bureaucrats are such pond-scum
some times... Here is a handy map by CPA Amy
Northard (who, by the way, is NOT
CtC-educated, as far as I know, so please don't
imagine she is a resource for anything but what
follows).
How Do I Reach a Real
Person at the IRS?
Before calling the IRS,
take a deep breath with me.
Please remember that there
are some wonderful people working at the IRS. They
have families and souls, just like the rest of us.
They pay taxes and have to follow the same laws that
we do.
With that being said, here
are the steps you need to take to reach a real
person on the phone at the IRS.
1. Before you call, make
sure you have all of the information that you need.
- Social Security cards and
birth dates for those who were on the return you are
calling about.
- An Individual Taxpayer
Identification Number (ITIN) letter if you don’t
have a Social Security number (SSN) - Filing status
– Single, Head of Household, Married Filing Joint or
Married Filing Separate
- Your prior-year tax
return. We may need to verify your identity before
answering certain questions
- A copy of the tax return
you’re calling about
- Any letters or notices we
sent you
2. The IRS telephone number
is 1-800-829-1040, and they are available from 7
a.m. – 7 p.m. Monday thru Friday. The best time to
call is early in the morning.
3. The first question the
automated system will ask you is to choose your
language.
4. Once you’ve set your
language, do NOT choose Option 1 (regarding refund
info). Choose option 2 for “Personal Income Tax”
instead.
5. Next, press 1 for “form,
tax history, or payment”.
6. Next, press 3 “for all
other questions.”
7. Next, press 2 “for all
other questions.”
8. When the system asks you
to enter your SSN or EIN to access your account
information, do NOT enter anything.

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).
Sorry, liberals, but Nancy Pelosi’s
newly announced impeachment inquiry will not end
Donald Trump’s presidency prematurely, no matter how
badly Democratic voters may want it. Even if he’s
found guilty in the House, a Republican-controlled
Senate is sure to deny Pelosi the requisite 67 votes
needed to remove him from office. Maybe that isn’t
such a bad thing, either. After all, evicting Trump
would elevate a bonafide Christian fascist to
commander in chief in the person of Mike Pence.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that Trump
doesn’t deserve to be kicked out of office. He’s run
this country like he’d run a nepotistic crime
family, a corrupt Atlantic City casino, or some
combination of the two. The latest
Ukraine scandal is, indeed, a serious matter. In
fact,
early polls suggest plenty of Americans support
impeachment, and there is value in creating a public
record of Trump’s abuses.
It’s just that: 1) it’s far more
palatable and strategic to beat Trump at the ballot
box; and 2) the real presidential abuses of power
are systemic and not unique to the former reality
show host. What’s more, Democrats’ efforts to
impeach could well end up backfiring, handing Trump
an undeserved second term.
I KNOW, THIS PARTICULAR "OTHER VOICE"
basically just echoes my own writings on the subject
of impeachment. Well, so be it. This is a serious
business.
The impeachment of Donald Trump is
relatively insignificant. He's just doing the same
things that've been done by presidents for decades.
But saving the presidency-- and the
tattered shreds of the republic itself-- from the
class of serial offenders who have been getting away
with murder in the White House-- both literally and
figuratively-- for thirty years and more, is REALLY
important.
Let's vigorously impeach Trump, for the
reasons given by Sjursen in the article above and by
me
here. Then let's impeach his replacement the
moment he or she commits any of the same offenses.
Let's keep doing that until the swamp-creature ranks
are thinned out and we end up with someone worthy of
the office.
So, you and I must continue to
starve the beast and spread the word ourselves,
hoping loud voices like Sjursen's will join in soon
and give us some much-needed amplification. In short, onward and upward!
Uphold the law. Teach it to everyone
else you can reach.
October 10- In 1911, the WuChang Uprising
overthrows the Qing Imperial Dynasty and leads to the establishment of the the
Republic of China. In 1913, construction of the Panama Canal is completed. In
1938, the Munich Agreement cedes the Sudetenland to Nazi Germany. In 1969,
Progressive Rock is born with the release of 'In The Court Of The Crimson King'
by King Crimson. In 1973, Vice President of the United States Spiro Agnew
resigns after being charged with "income" tax evasion. In 1995, U.S. Army SPC 4
Michael New refuses to serve as a United Nations soldier.
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.
"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."
-Samuel Adams

"A slave is one who waits
for someone to come and free him."

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.”
October 12- In 1492, Christopher Columbus reaches
The Bahamas. In 1892, the Pledge of Allegiance is recited for the first time by
government school students. In 1970, Richard Nixon announces that 40,000 U.S.
soldiers will be withdrawn from Vietnam by Christmas. In 1999, Pervez Musharraf
takes power in Pakistan. In 2000, the USS Cole is attacked by suicide bombers,
killing 17 crewmembers and wounding 39. In 2005, the Chinese launch their
second manned spaceflight. In 2017, the United States and Israel withdraw from
the United Nations agency for the promotion of international intellectual and
cultural collaboration, UNESCO, due to the agency's admission of Palestine as a
member.
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 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. 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.
So, please make and send those videos
right away! You can share them with me via a cloud-based
drive space like OneDrive.Live.com or GoogleDrive
(give access permission to
stategroups@losthorizons.com), or
mail DVDs to me at 232 Oriole St., Commerce Twp., Michigan
48382, or even email to me if each file is no more than
20 megs (and you can break a video up if need be-- I
can reassemble them). Render as .mpg or mp4, if possible;
if not, send them how you have them and I'll make them
work.
BTW: An encouraging and inspiring
video will earn you access to the restricted pages
on losthorizons.com and membership in the National
Forum if you have also sent me a recent educated
federal filing and IRS response (or relevant
"return" or "account" transcript).
I will be the judge of whether your
submissions qualify for access, but if you do your
best you should do fine.
Remember, the restoration of institutional
respect for individual rights and the rule of law depends
on enough individuals insisting upon it. Do your part
to let those starting to rub the sleep from their eyes
know that there is a community already waiting for their
fellowship with open arms and open hearts and shining
spirits.
See how some of your fellow warriors for
the truth have done their parts in videos sent over
the years, many of which are posted
here.

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:
October 13- In 54, Nero ascends to the throne of
Imperial Rome. In 1307, hundreds of the Knights Templar are arrested on bogus
charges of "heresy" by King Philip VI of France, who owed their organization
vast amounts of money. In 1775, the Continental Congress orders the
establishment of the Continental Navy. In 1792, the cornerstone of what will be
known as the White House is laid in Washington, DC. In 1983, Ameritech Mobile
Communications launches the first American cellular network, in Chicago,
Illinois. In 2010, 33 Chilean miners are all rescued alive after a record 69
days trapped underground.

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.
All
that Leviathan need do to nullify this "solution" is
to declare encryption illegal. Once a few of its courts have weaseled
their way to allowing such criminalization, and a
few folks have been prominently imprisoned for
violating the new "law", 99.9% of Americans will
drop encryption like a hot rock.
