"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….."

Chasin' Away The "Lockdown"
Blues With Some Recent Victories!
Let's celebrate some of the few folks
whose economic picture has actually improved
over the last month or so...
EVEN IN THE MIDST OF
CORONAVIRUS CRAZINESS, the bureaucracies
continue to operate. While YOU looking after
YOUR business and earning YOUR pay may not
be seen by the Leviathan in its "nanny
state" guise as "essential", but tax agents
continuing to earn THEIR pay plainly is...
For most Americans, the
big-government view outlined above is
nothing but a groan. For
CtC-educated Americans, though, it's at
least a mixed bag.
This is because for
CtC-educated Americans, tax agents
actually doing their jobs usually involves
sending those educated Americans dollops of
money. Granted, what is being sent is to
these good folks is their own money which
had been improperly taken from them in the
first place on the pretense that some
taxable activity had been conducted. But
getting even just your own money back (with
interest, where appropriate, of course)
really does beat the alternative suffered by
the uneducated all hollow.
SO, LEVIATHAN'S VIEW OF THINGS
HAVING MADE IT POSSIBLE, and with an eye
toward giving the forcibly-idled productive
class something with which to lighten the
mood and in hope that it might prompt those
not already educated to spend some of their
idle time getting that way, I think it's a
good day to post some of the recent
victories that have been coming in. Ordering
this batch from most recent to oldest, let's
start with:
RICK & ANN have secured a
complete refund of everything taken from
them during 2019 and given over to Oregon
against the errant presumption that they had
earned their money doing taxable things:
Here is Rick & Ann's filing producing this
victory, along with Oregon's notice
explaining its correction of two mistakes
the couple had made, resulting in a $107.00
uptick in this refund. Like I said, it's
nice for educated folks when tax agents are
actually doing their jobs.
***
Andy & Laura
Boden
ANDY & LAURA are nearly new to
this community, and this is a fine debut
victory for these good folks:
Andy & Laura's complete refund
was
secured by way of this return. BTW, hats
off to the Dallas Warriors who helped
introduce these new friends to
CtC!
***
Three
Brothers
BECAUSE THE FINE YOUNG MEN ARE
ALL MINORS, I have relaxed the "show your
name" rule in keeping with the wishes of
their proud parents. These good folks are
obviously raising these boys right and would
merit some accommodation even if the age
thing didn't apply.
The brothers are all working at
their first jobs, and so hadn't much to
reclaim from a standpoint of dollars and
cents. But their dignity, and their
entitlement to proper treatment by their
public servants in strict adherence to the
law, are as priceless to them as they are to
anyone else. Securing those things are the
real reward for all
CtC-educated filers, and our youngest
new
warriors have gotten their first tastes
of that reward:
Here are the filings that secured these
complete refunds of everything withheld from
these upstanding young heroes during 2019
and given over to Uncle Sam.

Kiki Bittner
IN THE NEWSLETTER LAST MONDAY I
led off with
Kiki's great video chronicling her
discovery of CtC and putting it to work for
her family and her family business. But I
hadn't posted the business-deposit refund
she explains and displays in her film, so
here it is for everyone's enjoyment:
***
Jim Beck
FINALLY, FOR TODAY, a fine
victory secured in February of everything
withheld from Jim Beck and given over to
Uncle Sam during 2016 which had not
initially been returned to Jim, plus
interest:
SO, A SALUTE AND
CONGRATULATIONS to all these true American
heroes! These great victories by Rick & Ann,
Andy & Laura, The Three Brothers and Jim
Beck 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?
BTW, DON'T YOU WISH
YOUR
INSPIRING
BEING-THE-STORM VIDEO was posted, too,
like Rick's and Kiki'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)
these guidelines and encouragements.
Remember, it's all about
upholding the law, and that is YOUR
responsibility. Awakening others to this
high and honorable duty is the best way to
make it happen.

April 19- Dateline: Boston.
Massachusetts
Governor
Condemns Armed Extremists
Guard units seeking to
confiscate a cache of recently banned
assault weapons were ambushed on April 19 by
the elements of a paramilitary extremist
faction. Military and law-enforcement
sources estimate that 72
were
killed and more than 200 injured before
government forces were compelled to
withdraw.
Speaking after the clash, the
Massachusetts governor declared that the
extremist faction, which was made up of
local citizens, has links to the radical
right wing tax protest movement. The
Governor blamed the extremists for recent
incidents of vandalism directed against
internal revenue offices. The governor
described the group's organizers as
criminals, and issued an executive order
authorizing the summary arrest of any
individual who has interfered with the
government's efforts to secure law and
order.
The military raid on the
extremist arsenal followed widespread
refusal by the local citizenry to turn over
recently outlawed assault weapons.
The governor issued a ban on
military style weapons and ammunition
earlier in the week. This decision followed
a meeting earlier this month between
government and military leaders at which the
governor authorized forcible confiscation of
illegal arms. One government official,
speaking on condition of anonymity, pointed
out that none of these people would have
been killed had the extremists obeyed the
law and turned over their weapons.
Government troops initially succeeded in
confiscating a large supply of outlawed
weapons and ammunition elsewhere in the
state.
However, troops attempting to
seize arms and ammunition in Lexington met
with resistance from heavily armed
extremists who had been tipped off regarding
the government's plan. During an intense
standoff in Lexington's town park, National
Guard Colonel Francis Smith, commander of
the government operation, ordered the armed
group to surrender their weapons and return
to their homes.
The impasse was broken by a
single shot, which was reportedly fired by
one of the right wing extremists. Eight
civilians were killed in the ensuing
exchange.
Ironically, the local citizenry
blamed the government forces rather than the
extremists for the civilian deaths. Before
order could be restored, armed citizens from
surrounding areas had descended upon the
guard units. Col. Smith, finding his forces
over matched by the armed mob, ordered a
retreat.
The governor has called upon
citizens to support the state and national
joint task force in its effort to restore
law and order. The governor also demanded
the surrender of those responsible for
planning and leading the attack against
government troops. Samuel Adams, Paul
Revere, and John Hancock, who have been
identified as the ring leaders of the
extremist faction, remain at large.

those who love it, and are always ready to

THIS VIDEO PROJECTS THE PROGRESS of a nuclear exchange between Russia and
the United States. It's frightening, as it should
be, as well as sobering and instructive. My only
criticisms are, first of all, that it fails to
account for the imbalance that will now be present
in any such exchange due to
the new Russian
hypersonic weapons.
Secondly, the video fails to account
for China's contribution to the exchange against the
US, which is a virtual certainty. China knows that
if Russia goes, and the US survives, it goes soon
after. So, that will not be allowed to happen.
CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE how abysmally
stupid someone would have to be to continue to doubt
or deny that
CtC has revealed the actual, complete and insurmountable
truth about the income tax in light of the overwhelming
mountain of
historical,legal,
practical and
logical evidence to the contrary? (Not to mention
the
outright lies and even
ludicrous hoaxes the executive and some corrupt
members of the judiciary have been caught at in desperate
efforts to conceal the truth...)
Plainly any such denier must either be
abysmally stupid or be an abysmally corrupt government
official or other person who sees him or herself as
benefitting from the lies about the tax by which America
has suffered for 75 years now.
Isn't this true?

Important guest observations
and commentary with an important afterword
by Yours Truly
Bill Gates Crosses The Digital Rubicon, Says 'Mass
Gatherings' May Not Return Without Global Vaccine
by Robert Bridge
A recurring theme among
conspiracy theorists is that the elite are just
waiting for the right moment to roll out their ‘mark
of the beast’ technology to remotely identify and
control every single human being on the planet, thus
sealing their plans for a one world government. And
with many people willing to do just about anything
to get back to some sense of normalcy, those fears
appear more justified with each passing day.
In the Book of Revelation
[13:16-17], there is a passage that has attracted
the imagination of believers and disbelievers
throughout the ages, and perhaps never more so than
right now: “And he causeth all, both small and
great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a
mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And
that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the
mark…”
Was John of Patmos
history’s first conspiracy theorist, or are we
merely indulging ourselves today with a case of
self-fulfilling prophecy? Whatever the case may be,
many people would probably have serious reservations
about being branded with an ID code even if it had
never been mentioned in Holy Scripture. But that
certainly has not stopped Microsoft founder Bill
Gates, who has been warning about a global pandemic
for years, from pushing such controversial
technologies on all of us.
In September 2019,
just three months before the coronavirus
first appeared in China, ID2020, a San
Francisco-based biometric company that
counts Microsoft as one of its founding
members, quietly
announced it was undertaking a new
project that involves the “exploration of
multiple biometric identification
technologies for infants” that is based on
“infant immunization” and only uses the
“most successful approaches”.
In a new interview,
Bill Gates authoritatively states that mass
public gatherings will not come back “at
all” until we have mass vaccination. Who
made him king of the world? https://t.co/siW7bZ9yGc

— Alternative News
(@NewsAlternative) April 4, 2020
For anyone who may
be wondering what one of those “most
successful approaches” might look like,
consider the following top contender for the
contract. Researchers at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed
what is essentially a hi-tech ‘tattoo’ that
stores data in invisible dye under the skin.
The ‘mark’ would be delivered together with
a vaccine, most likely administered by
Gavi, the global vaccine agency that
also falls under the umbrella of the Bill &
Melinda Gates Foundation.
“The researchers
showed that their new dye, which consists of
nanocrystals called quantum dots… emits
near-infrared light that can be detected by
a specially equipped smartphone,” MIT News
reported.
And if the reader
scrolls to the very bottom of the article,
he will find that this study was funded
first and foremost by the Bill and Melinda
Gates Foundation.
I WONDER IF MAYBE A RIDCULOUSLY WEALTHY
FELLOW like Bill Gates harbors pipe dreams of
conquering death-- for himself, personally, at
least-- considering the resources he can throw at
the challenge? If so, is he kept up at night
worrying that this god-like psychotic fantasy might
come to naught through a virus to which he might be
exposed because some "deplorable" didn't get a
vaccine?
It's kind of hard to imagine
why else Gates is so obsessed with the
vaccine subject-- even going so far as to
till the soil for the "Covid-19" hysteria,
with, among other things his pre-panic
October 2019 "Event
201". The end goal of this "War
of the Worlds" exercise (which, unlike
the 1938 episode has been vigorously supported by every
mainstream media outlet and public official in the country, 24/7
for months, and thus is far more
influential) is clearly the generation of
enormous pressure in favor of vaccination
regimes, regardless of the wishes of the
targets.
IT'S A LITTLE HARD TO
UNDERSTAND this vaccination focus, of course.
Those who themselves
have been vaccinated are presumably safe
from the perceived threat; and those really
worried about it all can wear their masks
and gloves in public, or just stay home.
There's no actual argument to be made for
forcible vaccinations of others on behalf of
keeping YOU (or Bill Gates) safe.
But Gates doesn't seem to see
things that way, for some reason. And his
push to compel everyone else to get poked could work.
After all, once you've
convinced enough people that they've only
barely escaped death by asphyxiation at the
hands of a killer virus which can really
only be prevented from a repeat attack if
everyone is vaccinated, and planted the idea
that NOT getting vaccinated leaves someone a
walking time bomb moving among the rest of
us, fatally-infecting others willy-nilly-- a
manifestly irresponsible behavior to which
no one should be entitled, well...
Further, a "Covid-19"
vaccination is not the end-point. If there
are reasons sufficient
for making coercion acceptable as to a
"Covid-19" vaccine, how will anyone argue
against viewing any other vaccine-- and any
other imposition of any other sort of
control which is purportedly designed to
curtail the spread of any disease or
disaster-- in the same
way?
In fact, it's hard to see how
this all doesn't extend so far as to reach
the suppression of dissent, because arguing
against forced vaccination (or against even
a "voluntary" regime under which the
non-vaccinated or otherwise non-approved are
excluded from things on that basis) produces
resistance to the regime, and that means
people who are non-compliant, and that means
the dire and deadly threat to all the rest
of us that justified the coercion in the
first place persists, right? Well, we can't
have that!
IN ANY EVENT, whatever may
really be the particular fever-dream
animating Mr. Gates and his co-enthusiasts
for viral police-state measures, the threat
of harmful end-game outcomes from the
"Covid-19" hysteria looms large on the near
horizon. Only three things seem likely to
vaccinate America against that very real
danger.
One would be enough Americans
resolving to put their freedoms and their
rights above their fears of anything-- even
death at the hands of some loathsome
disease. Another would be enough people
coming to recognize the degree to which
"Covid-19"
was wildly exaggerated as a threat.
I'M GOING TO END WITH THIS
MUSING: Would it be appropriate to charge
folks like Bill Gates and all the talking
heads and officials and others who
contributed to the national "lockdown" and
the destruction of everyone else's economic
well-being for the harm caused by all their
self-interested panic-fanning? It's all been
a kind of a con, after all.
The media benefitted hugely
with innumerable eyeballs glued to screens
for months. Online businesses also surged,
of course, and many, many power-loving
swamp-creature types have been in high
cotton lately, while the rest of us have
been seeing our businesses destroyed and
even our savings diminished by dramatic
bursts of inflation so that another massive
"bailout" (read: looting) can be done on
behalf of the Mega-state's favored financial
sector clients and cronies.
I imagine if all these panic
beneficiaries were sued for recompense on a
class-action basis (with all the rest of us
in the class) it would be found that even
after all the burn-away in jet-fuel and
cocaine before their assets are frozen
enough would be left for redistribution to
make the exercise worthwhile. Let's get the
Justice Department right on that, yes?
No, okay, you're right. We
won't get much done on our behalf by relying
on
swamp-creatures.
Sorting this all out is
something we'll just have to do for
ourselves.
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 qualifying testimonial
videos, as discussed, described and demonstrated
here.
The videos must be accompanied by scans of a recent
educated filing along with responsive documents from
the IRS, whether in the form of a check, a notice
identifying and reflecting the filed return, or
"return" and "account" transcripts for the year for
which the return was filed. Names must be shown in
full.
Similarly, if
an email comes my way asking for guidance or assistance,
I had better already have your video posted.
I HATE TO PLAY IT THIS WAY. But I want
to win.
I'll tell you a story from when I was coaching
my kids in soccer. Both of my kids at a certain age
in their careers had run into a wall common to all but
the very exceptional. They had gotten to be pretty good,
and they wanted to enjoy the benefits of their hard
work. But the arrival of this interest coincided with
a new self-consciousness which made them reluctant to
risk failing and looking foolish. So, they were hanging
back from seizing the main chance when it appeared,
and driving for the goal.
My solution was to post on the wall of
our dining room a couple of simple points about self-discipline,
the chief of which is this: You can't score a goal if
you don't take a shot.
That's how it is here, too. If you don't
stand up, you are laying down, and you'll never score
that goal.
Here is what my kids live by now, in their
own version of that lesson. I hear it from them all
the time as they excel (accompanied by the sound of
a father's breast swelling with pride): Go hard,
or go home.
You, too. Go hard, or go home.
Send those videos.
Do I ask for a lot? I want your victories
to post, your financial support, your efforts at spreading
the word, and your beautiful faces and inspiring words,
too. It IS a lot.
But it's not too much. I'll let Thomas Paine explain:
"Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered;
yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder
the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we
obtain too cheaply, we esteem too lightly. Heaven knows
how to put a proper price on its goods; and it would
be strange indeed, if so celestial an article as freedom
should not be highly rated.”
We each have our reasons, and our story.
It's time, and it's needed, for you to share yours with
the world.
"The day we see truth and do not speak
is the day we begin to die."
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
What does it for you?
Is it simply because no moral and upstanding
person has any choice when it comes to telling the truth
over his or her signature, whether on tax forms or anywhere
else?
Is it recognition of the critical importance
of the rule of law, and the knowledge that if everybody
leaves its caretaking to someone else, it will soon
be lost to us completely?
Is it the money?
Maybe it's just simple respect for your
own rights as a human being, who is not and cannot be
not involuntarily subordinated to others?
Maybe it's just simple respect for your
general civic responsibility to be the grown-up and
enforce frugality and restraint on a big, powerful creature
of our own devising which otherwise is like a badly-raised
teenage boy given whiskey and car keys and let loose
on the road to wreak havoc?
Or is it, perhaps, a more acute anxiety
that if our bonfire of a state isn't damped, and quickly,
it'll soon burn down the house around us all?
What IS it that firms up your jaw and stiffens
your resolve?
It's time to take off the bushel and
share your light!
I would like you to think about what it
is that motivates you for a few moments (or all day,
if you like), and then send me your thoughts. I want
to put YOUR reasons to work inspiring folks who don't
yet understand what this is all about.
In this day and age, the most effective
way for you to share your thinking for the benefit of
others is to video-record yourself talking about how
you feel, and explaining what inspires and motivates
YOU.
All you need is a webcam or cell-phone
equipped with a camera. If you don't have, or know how
to use, one of these, have a friend help. (And if
you use a cell-phone, please have the orientation
horizontal, not vertical-- that is, so that the
screen of the phone on which you are watching
yourself while taping looks like a TV or movie
screen.)
If needed, write a little script for yourself.
Better, though, to just speak extemporaneously, after
spending a little time sorting out your thoughts and
getting down into your heart. Perhaps make it a video
of someone in your family, or a close friend, interviewing
you.
Dress "business casual". Be well-groomed.
Keep yourself to no more than 2 or 3 minutes,
and keep in mind that the purpose is
not to educate,
but to INSPIRE, ENCOURAGE and ENERGIZE. Your video will
be one of many to be shared. If you need to go
longer to really say your piece, go for it (but long
or short I may edit if something strikes me as
wandering or off-key or unacceptable).
You needn't feel any obligation to be profound,
and you shouldn't try to explain anything about the
law, other than to say that you have read it and you
know it's on your side. You just need to be sincere,
and uplifting. Your object is to make your audience
want to have what you have, and to be where you are
in your heart.
Don't talk to ME, or to others in the
CtC-educated community. Make remarks that are suited
to the NON-CtC-educated community, and at the same
time, be mindful that you're speaking to an
audience that doesn't yet know ANYTHING about the subject,
and whose first reaction is, "This must be illegal;
this must be dangerous; this is too good to be true."
You want to pull that audience right past such things,
and straight to a focus on truth, morality, and our
American heritage of liberty and the rule of law.
Remember: INSPIRE, ENCOURAGE, ENERGIZE.
Speak about rights. Speak about morality,
and the obligation of a grown-up and responsible person
to speak the truth and to enforce the Constitution.
Speak about everyone's duty
to give to God what is God's, always, and to Caesar
only what is really Caesar's. Speak of your obligation
to respect yourself, and to look out for the current
and future well-being of your children and your fellow
citizens. Speak of
CtC, and what its information has done for your
understanding and resolve. Show the book.
If you have had victories, describe them.
Better still, show them, if possible.
Be clear about just what you accomplished:
EVERYTHING back-- Social Security, Medicare and all;
a "notice of deficiency" closing notice; an on-paper
agreement or acknowledgment that your earnings weren't
subject to the tax and everything withheld or paid-in
was an "overpayment"; a transcript showing all $0s;
or whatever happened.
When you speak of state victories, name
the state. If you had to overcome balkiness from a tax
agency before winning any victory, describe that, too!
If you're in a battle now, speak of your
resolve to uphold the law, come what may--
why you're not discouraged, and why you are not
standing down, not slinking back into the barn, and
not choosing to endorse the lies. Don't get
into details-- your audience is going to have no
idea what a "LTR3176" is, and you will NOT be
capable of explaining it adequately. This is an
subject area concerning which you should speak from
the heart, not the head.
If you haven't
yet begun to act, share the reasons for your decision to do so, and
your plans.
Remember, your purpose is to INSPIRE, ENCOURAGE
and ENERGIZE.
Watch your own video after you
record it and ask yourself: Putting yourself
in the place of someone completely immersed
in "the matrix"-- oblivious to any notions
that you might have been a victim of an
"ignorance tax", and comfortable with the
status quo-- would the video you just made
encourage you to push aside your comforting
illusions and learn the liberating truth? If
not, try again.
Identify yourself. Anonymity is for criminals and self-doubters, not
CtC
warriors. Naming yourself is a requirement, and your
name will appear as a subtitle on the video when I
prepare it for posting, in any event.
Mention what you do for a living, whether
you're a doctor, homemaker, lawyer, trucker, IT guy
or gal, retiree or student. Help people understand
that the company of grown-up activist Americans they
are being invited to join cuts across all demographics
and all interests-- with the common denominator being
respect for the law and love of the principles on which
this great country was founded.
This is your chance to get a LOT accomplished.
We've all had frustrating occasions of
trying to explain all this to a friend, neighbor, family
member or co-worker, only to pile up against the wall
of a mind not yet ready to listen and learn. Here is
your chance to address a self-selected audience of folks
who have themselves decided that it's time for them
to begin paying attention, and have clicked on your
testimonial for exactly that reason.
Further, think about this: You want judges,
bureaucrats, CPAs, lawyers, the HR people where you
work, your pastors, your neighbors and everyone else
to acknowledge the truth about the tax openly and straightforwardly.
How and why would these folks do this if YOU won't?
You want these folks to learn the truth.
Why would they even recognize that there is a truth
to be learned if you won't attest to having learned
it yourself? You've got to stand up, face forward and
chin up and tell these folks that you have studied and
checked and verified and seen the evidence and seen
the government evasions and you know that the tax is
not the capitation that the beneficiary government wants
everyone to think it is but a benign, strictly limited
thing, and that they need to study and learn that, too.
Again, if you have victories to show, that's
nice, and powerful, too. But you don't have to have
victories to display in order to declare your knowledge
of what the law says. I've never flown around the world,
but I've seen the evidence and considered the arguments,
and I'm not hesitant to declare it a sphere...
Even those of you who haven't yet studied
CtC have surely read
this short document, and have verified everything
in it for yourself. You should therefore be declaring
its veracity and its message, loud and proud. Again,
if you won't say it, how can you hope that others will
ever even bother to look at the facts?
Be the change you want to see in the world,
or there won't be any change.
So, please make and send those videos
right away! You can share them with me via a cloud-based
drive space like OneDrive.Live.com or GoogleDrive
(if you do GoogleDrive you MUST give access permission to stategroups@losthorizons.com), or
mail DVDs to me at 232 Oriole St., Commerce Twp., Michigan
48382, or even email to me if each file is no more than
20 megs (and you can break a video up if need be-- I
can reassemble them). Render as .mpg or mp4, if possible;
if not, send them how you have them and I'll make them
work.
BTW: An encouraging and inspiring
video will earn you access to the restricted pages
on losthorizons.com and membership in the National
Forum if you have also sent me a recent educated
federal filing and IRS response (or relevant
"return" or "account" transcript). I will be the
judge of whether your submissions qualify
for access, but if you do your best you should do
fine.
Remember, the restoration of institutional
respect for individual rights and the rule of law depends
on enough individuals insisting upon it. Do your part
to let those starting to rub the sleep from their eyes
know that there is a community already waiting for their
fellowship with open arms and open hearts and shining
spirits.
See how some of your fellow warriors for
the truth have done their parts in videos sent over
the years, many of which are posted
here.

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

Doing A Little High-Payoff Math
IF EACH PERSON receiving this newsletter each week distributed as
few as 100 of any of
the great outreach tools featured here to co-workers, friends,
neighbors and family members (or just strangers on the street, in
the mall, etc...), we could have SEVERAL MILLION new Americans
suddenly introduced to the liberating truth about the tax!
Just like that! In one week!
C'mon, people, let's roll on this!
“Most of the important things in the
world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when
there seemed to be no hope at all.”
When directed to a page by topic or link, read everything.
I know that this can mean the investment of a lot of time, attention
and effort, but although some may imagine otherwise, I don't write
as much as I do because I can't think of any other way to spend
my time...
Furthermore, when you encounter a hyperlink within, or associated
with, the text you are reading, follow it!
It is pretty common these days for web-based material to be littered
with hyperlinks. Sometimes the purpose is to provide definitions
or examples, in order to ensure that folks reading the original
material aren't presented with a word or reference which they don't
understand. Sometimes the links lead to illustrations pertinent
to the original text.
It is common-- and perfectly understandable-- for folks who are
confident that they are familiar with language or references within
the main text they are reading to get in the habit of skipping over
included links. I do it all the time, myself!
However, I very rarely include links for definitional or explanatory
purposes; and when I DO make a link out of text in one page it is
generally to another self-contained page, rather than merely illustrative
material. These other pages contain material the clear understanding
of which I deem highly important for the proper and complete understanding
of the original page. (Links to
CtC, the
Victories pages,
CtC Warriors and so on are obvious exceptions to this general
rule. On the other hand, a link to the victory
Highlights or 'Every
Which Way But Loose' pages, which might seem like such exceptions,
are not. The special selection of victories on those pages, and
the filed docs and tax-agency correspondences included therewith,
themselves constitute highly instructive material which merits careful
attention. Thus care needs to be taken in all cases.)
Please make a habit of clicking on all provided links and at least
looking briefly to ensure that the linked page is one with which
you are completely familiar from another study session.
Finally, please keep in mind that, annoying though it may seem at
first blush (but not, I trust, upon reflection), I constantly tweak
material already posted. Obviously this doesn't mean that every
page is in flux at all times, but it does mean that if you are directed
to a page that IS familiar, it's worthwhile to read it through again
if it's been a while since your last having done so.

Anniversaries of interest for
each day of this week will be found throughout the newsletter mid-edition update
below.
Btw, a copy of
CtC from anywhere except the link above
may not be a current edition. CHECK. It
matters. Also, there ARE no e-book, Kindle
or .pdf versions of
CtC. Don't get taken in by efforts to
sell you-- or even give you for free-- any
such thing.

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

Illuminating anniversaries of this week:
April 15- In 1755, Samuel Johnson's
Dictionary of the English Language is published. In 1865, Abraham Lincoln dies
of his wounds after being shot the day before by John Wilkes Booth to the cry of
"Sic semper tyrannis!" In 1912, the "unsinkable" Titanic sinks in the North

martial law in the area several days later.
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."
April 17- In 1521, Martin Luther
refuses to recant his teachings in an address to the assembly at the Diet of
Worms. In 1861, Virginia secedes from the United States. In 1905, the US

rebuilt. In 1923, Yankee Stadium opens. In 1946, the League of Nations is
dissolved.
CtC WARRIOR SanDiegoScott has put together

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."
