An Existential Threat Is Eating Away At America

And pretty-much no one is saying or doing anything about it.

BEGINNING IN MID-MARCH THIS YEAR the governments of most states in the union were overthrown by coup. The personnel didn't change, but upon the blowing of that cold March wind, those elevated to positions of trust and honor in the various governments-- who had been elected on promises to respect and be bound by the People's law-- assumed dictatorial powers not only not delegated by the Constitutions of their state, but expressly prohibited by those Constitutions.

Every state Constitution flatly prohibits the exercise of law-making powers by executive-branch officials. These prohibitions are not in any way lessened by calling the laws imposed "executive orders". Devising and issuing commands directed at the general public, disobedience of which can be punished in any way whatever, is the making of law, whatever label might be put upon it.

These prohibitions are not in any way lessened by pointing to an "emergency" (whether real or grossly overstated) as the justification for executive issuance of laws. No such exceptions exist, and none could be harmonious with the republican form of government imposed by the people of every state on their public officials and to which those officials have all sworn fealty as a qualification for office.

These prohibitions are not even lessened by enactments of legislatures which purport to authorize the executive to make laws in emergencies. Such enactments are themselves Constitutionally-prohibited.

NONETHELESS, THESE USURPERS-- with the critical support of the media-- shoved the supreme law of their state into a closet and became a law unto themselves. Without a word of debate or discussion, or the slightest asking of permission, these people began issuing illegal orders and deploying the existing apparatus of the state power structure to enforce those diktats against the people.

In assuming these autocratic powers, these malefactors tested and ran with the proposition that Constitutional government-- government based on the sovereignty of the People, and which is the very heart of the American Experiment-- has been so successfully distorted in meaning and significance in the public mind as to be defenseless against overthrow by determined domestic enemies.

So far, that proposition is panning out, and the America secured for us by the wisdom and sacrifices of the Founders is dying before our eyes.

THE CRIMINALS INVOLVED at the state level-- all of whom are duty-bound to defend the Constitutional rule against the very actions they have taken-- didn't act in a vacuum. All were buoyed by the atmosphere of contempt for Constitutional primacy that has long pervaded the federal government.

Indeed, contriving "workarounds" of Constitutional prohibitions and other restraints on the will of executive office-holders has been such a major US government industry since the 1930s that one wonders that it hasn't its own Cabinet position by now. So, there has long been cause for alarm over threats to the rule of law in America.

But the sudden eruption of state-level criminality is a subversion of the one credible counterweight to incipient granular federal despotism short of bloody revolution at a grass-roots level, and thus is a deadly serious matter. It is also a very pointed final test of whether liberty remains alive in the hearts of the American people.

The federal assault of the rule of law has been long and slow in the making-- a very gradual raising of the temperature in the frog-pot. In the state governments, we have a full-spectrum assault on the veil between liberty and despotism-- between citizenship and subject--between self-rule and being ruled-- happening virtually overnight, stark and unmistakable.

The test of our commitment to self-government has been put before us, in its entirety, right now. What are we going to do?

ACTUALLY, WHAT I MEAN TO SAY IS, what are YOU going to do? I have already researched and posted analyses and presentations of the express Constitutional prohibitions against executive law-making-- that is, the provisions of state Constitutions which the coup-plotters have swept aside in illegally seizing power-- in five states: Michigan, Texas, Virginia, Kentucky and Wyoming.

Every single person whose business has been destroyed-- or even just harmed-- by the edicts of any of these state governors or their surrogates should be suing. In my opinion, there is no need for you to have been fined for defying the edicts or otherwise directly targeted in order to have standing; the illegal orders caused traffic to your business to vanish, by direct consequence of the false and fraudulent representations and threats of the government officials involved.

If you HAVE been fined or arrested or otherwise directly impacted, your standing is assured on those grounds alone.

FURTHER, MY FIVE FINISHED PRESENTATIONS will serve as templates for anyone in any other state to create a version customized to that state's Constitution. This is a very simple matter: Fill in points 1 and 3 with corresponding material from your state Constitution; create or modify a point 4 (and 5) if needed (as in the Kentucky, Wyoming, Texas and Virginia presentations); everything else is as shown in my examples.

Then... get your presentation out there in the hands of everyone possible (and send me a copy, too)! It's hugely important that the right and real issues get in front of any court that will be asked to render an opinion on the illegal orders of state executives as part of the C19 assault.

Unfortunately, there have already been a few bad lawsuits have launched here and there against the usurpations. They are going to do more harm than good, since they do not argue the real issue-- the illegality of the orders, no matter their content.

Instead, these ill-conceived suits, grounded in ignorance or a weaselly co-conspiratorial interest in preserving the status quo for the benefit of the plaintiffs, complain only about the particulars of disfavored orders. Such suits actually endorse the illegal exercise of power by state executives-- as in the old joke, all they really argue about is the price.

Proper suits need to get into play right away in order to forestall more bad ones.

PEOPLE, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO EMPHASIZE THIS ENOUGH: these assaults on the primacy of the various state Constitutions should have everyone angry and afraid. Constitutions are the only thing standing between us and a cold, hard wind.

The history of government evil in America is the history of government evasion of Constitutional provisions. A wise people will jump on Constitutional violations with both feet, and not stop until the villains responsible are so thoroughly punished that the next wannabe tyrants are deterred for years to come.

It is a matter of recognizing the root of the evil and striking there, rather than being distracted by the scary-looking bent and tangled branches being fed by that root, and which will only be replaced by others even if successfully hacked off.

Those who want to improperly rule delight in guiding activism into tilting at bug-a-boos du jour while they entrench themselves and normalize their usurpations.

Which brings me to my final thought for this article...

I FIRST POSTED THE GENERIC ANALYSIS of these state executive violations as far back as April 20. I repeated and expanded and applied the legal material in numerous posts since-- in the neighborhood of a dozen, I would guess, over the intervening seven weeks.

In all that time I have basically had nothing but crickets in return. I can count on one hand the number of people who have indicated any notice of any of these posts.

It makes me wonder if I'm wasting my time.

Increasingly, as I get older, I feel more and more that I really don't have time to waste.

If what I write isn't going to be read, or be taken seriously, then I shouldn't be writing it.

I'M NOT COMPLAINING HERE, or grousing. If there are better things out there to read or by which to be guided or inspired or what have you, that's fine. Take them in instead of mine, by all means.

But if so, then I should be spending more time with my kids and my wife and my garden.

If not, on the other hand, then I ask you to help me know that I'm NOT wasting my time.

For instance, I maintain a National Forum, at the cost of some time and effort, in part as a place for newsletter article comments to be posted. Do you know how many such comments have been made this year, in response to a total of at least 100 articles posted in that time? 21.

My tweets get no retweets to speak of; my GAB posts even less. My Facebook posts get no "sharing" to speak of.

Only rarely do I get any indication that my emails have been forwarded.

Do you understand why I wonder why I am bothering?

I KNOW THAT WHAT IS FOUND ON THESE PAGES is the really challenging stuff, as compared to other things out there to be read or watched. It is challenging in the sense that it calls on the reader to actually get up and do something.

The income tax offers a great example. Unlike all the silver-bullet nonsense filling the tax-honesty community, here you are faced with the truth: YOU have to stand up and say "No!" right into the face of the junk-yard dog if you want your rights to be honored.

That can be scary, and hard, or at least, a pain in the ass. You'll be reminded of that when you review Ruben Varela's "every which way but loose" victory posted and discussed a bit further down this page.

The same is true of everything else I present. I don't just complain about what's going on-- I teach folks how to fix what's going on.

But those fixes always involve an effort, and getting up the sand to make such efforts takes encouragement and a sense of community.

Only you folks can provide those things to each other. If you don't, things won't get done, and if things don't get done, then again, I'm wasting my time.

A Few Words About The George Floyd Murder And Its Aftermath

The primary focus needs to be on the horrendously unconstitutional notion of "immunity".

FIRST OF ALL, LET ME GET THIS out of the way: From what I have seen, Floyd was, indeed, murdered, and in a way bringing the term "sociopath" to mind as the mildest expression by which the killer can be described. Kneeling on Floyd's throat and casually disregarding his pleas for relief as they slowly died away, minute after minute, was what one might expect to see in a two-dimensional B-movie depiction of a stone-cold villain.

The cop, Derek Chauvin, comes across as a totally iconic "bad guy" of the sort whose demise at the hands of the story's hero you are meant to be counting on as the cathartic release for which you paid your $10 admission.

But really, Chauvin himself-- and the other cops who stood around doing nothing to rescue Floyd-- are only the manifestation of the real villain of the piece. That real villain is the pernicious, indefensible and utterly ungrounded notion of "immunity" from accountability for torts and crimes, "qualified" or otherwise, under the mantle of which Chauvin and his posse felt perfectly safe from personal risk in the commission of the murder.

THERE IS NO CONSTITUTIONAL BASIS for "immunity" of government officials of any kind for anything. In fact, the United States Constitution implicitly rejects and hold unconstitutional any such notion.

"Official immunity" is rejected implicitly under the principle of equality under the law. It is held unconstitutional by virtue of the express and exclusive provision of "immunity" to members of Congress from arrest for other than treason, felony or breach of the peace during sessions of the legislature and on the way to and from same, and for punishment for anything said during sessions, in Article I, Section 6:

...They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.

Immunity having been granted in the one circumstance, it is plainly withheld-- purposefully-- from all others in all other circumstances.

"Inclusio unius est exclusio alterius. The inclusion of one is the exclusion of another. The certain designation of one person is an absolute exclusion of all others. ... This doctrine decrees that where law expressly describes [a] particular situation to which it shall apply, an irrefutable inference must be drawn that what is omitted or excluded was intended to be omitted or excluded."

Black's Law Dictionary, 6th edition.

At the same time, government officials are afforded the same guarantees to due process and other provisions relating to charges against them afforded by the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Amendments. Those guarantees and provisions are sufficient for them just as they are sufficient for the rest of us.

FURTHER, THERE IS NO RATIONAL ARGUMENT for "immunity" of government officials in any capacity. The argument made on behalf of the judicially-invented contrivance is that, without immunity, officials would be hindered or inhibited from doing their jobs. But, in fact, the only circumstances in which the issue would arise is one in which it is alleged that the official was NOT exercising a lawful authority, or lawful discretion of office.

This simple, common-sense consideration has been clearly recognized even by judges appointed by the very officials who are among those supposedly enjoying the accountability-defeating "immunity" doctrine:

"[An] officer may be sued...if he acts in excess of his statutory authority or in violation of the Constitution for then he ceases to represent the Government."

United States v. Stewart, 234 F. Supp 94, 99 (U.S.D.C., Wash. D.C. 1964)

"...an officer may be held liable in damages to any person injured in consequence of a breach of any of the duties connected with his office...The liability for nonfeasance, misfeasance, and for malfeasance in office is in his 'individual', not his official capacity..."

70 AmJur2nd Sec. 50, VII Civil Liability.

THE PROBLEM THAT HAS ARISEN WITH "IMMUNITY" is in recent Supreme Court (and lower court) rulings that have flipped the law on its head. At one time government officials were sensibly accorded discretionary-- but challengeable-- latitude only in exercising any authority with which they were expressly provided. But under recent rulings government officials can-- with the expectation of immunity-- do anything they have not been expressly told they may not, by some prior court ruling.

This new "immunity" doctrine can be summed up as "anything not forbidden is permitted". But that concept assumes an undefined scope of action in the first place. Thus, it is actually the proper rule only for people acting in their capacity as sovereign individuals, for the protection of whose endless liberties and the free exercise thereof government officials have their jobs in the first place (as is recognized by the language and context of the Tenth Amendment).

Government officials acting as such, on the other hand, are equipped with only the powers and authorities which have been expressly delegated to them by the People through the relevant Constitution, or spelled out by law in properly-made legislation pursuant to those Constitutional delegations.

Thus, a proper analysis of the propriety of any "official" act must begin with the question of whether it is among those provided for under the law, either explicitly or implicitly. Then comes the question of whether any discretion exercised was reasonable and fit, as opposed to reckless, negligent, or malicious. There is no place here for, "anything not forbidden is permitted".

THE FLOYD MURDER illustrates the point perfectly. Here, we can accept (for purposes of discussion, at least) that Derek Chauvin had the authority, under the circumstances, to arrest George Floyd. The question is, did Derek Chauvin have lawful authority-- or reasonable and fit discretion incidental to the arrest authority-- to kneel on George Floyd's neck (or do so until he was dead)?

The "immunity" advocates, and the courts that support them, would have to say, "Yes, he did," in order to defend their position. They would have to "reason"-- to fit with recent Supreme Court jurisprudence-- that no court has previously had occasion to hold that kneeling on a handcuffed prisoner's neck (or doing so until the prisoner dies) is verboten, and therefore it is not, and Chauvin has immunity from accountability for having done so.

This is, of course, ridiculous on its face, and illustrates why the modern, corrupted "immunity" doctrine is absurd and grossly wrong. No one had previously knelt on a handcuffed prisoner's neck before (or done so until he died), and so, per the doctrine, we are to assume as a matter of law that Derek Chauvin cannot have known that doing so was not within his reasonable and fit discretion.

FURTHER, UNDER MODERN, CORRUPT "immunity" doctrine, we won't get that ruling even now. Per the doctrine, Chauvin would (and despite all the attention paid to this case at the moment, quite possibly still will, in the end) be spared having to answer for his actions. No court will have an opportunity to rule his actions unacceptable.

Illustrating the pernicious defect of modern "immunity" doctrine even more starkly, even if Chauvin's gross abuse of George Floyd's right to at least safety from assault while in police custody were to be taken up by a court and found impermissible, cops in the future would be warned away from only the exact same offense. The one that decides that a noisy prisoner should have his head slammed into a wall until he shuts up will be undeterred.

All told, "immunity" for government officials is a bent concept at the outset, as are most judicial contrivances developed for the convenience of government officials over all other considerations.

PERSONALLY, I STAND WITH THE FOUNDERS AND FRAMERS, who took the view (and laid down as the law) that government officials are servants of George Floyd and the rest of those not among their ranks. Under the law, the convenience of those officials is a decidedly secondary consideration after their duty to respect and defend George Floyd's rights.

If being held by the courts to that duty is a pain in the ass, and likely to compel government officials at every level to move cautiously and thoughtfully in all that they do, I say Hurray! I WANT every government functionary-- from the cop on the beat all the way to the president of the United States-- to do every single thing done in their official capacities with scrupulous and fearful care.

If what those folks do is justifiable, they will have every chance to convince a jury of that fact. If they cannot convince a jury, then under our system of law they will have committed a tort or a crime (or both) and should be dealt with accordingly, just like any of the rest of us.

New legislation should not be necessary (as shown by the Constitutional analysis laid out above). But under the current circumstances of runaway judicial irresponsibility, Congress should promptly legislate that no person is entitled to any presumption of authority or propriety for his or her actions due to status as a government official, whether under an "immunity" doctrine or otherwise.

Any such actor, when alleged to have violated anyone's rights or to have committed any other offense under statutory or common law, should face indictment, information or complaint-- and all subsequent procedures-- on exactly the same footing as would you or I if accused of the same offense. Bear in mind that every such offense is, and would be characterized as, one that could be committed by anyone, regardless of position.

Chauvin, for instance, stands accused of homicide, not of "excessively violent policing". He had before him a man in a vulnerable state, and he knelt on that man's neck until death came, just as any malefactor could have done had they come upon a potential victim helpless for whatever reason. The fact that Floyd was under arrest is completely immaterial to what Chauvin did.

Likewise, a judge who participates in a fraud upon the court is guilty of fraud, not of "judging badly". An IRS agent who demands amounts not owed in taxes on threat of harm is guilty of extortion, not of "improper tax collection".

All that is necessary to get this all right is to grow out of the child-like view that government officials are somehow special because they work for the government. They are not.

These folks are just people like you or me even when wearing their robes, or badges or uniforms. There is one primary difference between government officials and others, and it cuts against them getting special treatment like "immunity": Government officials are under a duty in their offices to respect and uphold and defend our rights.

They are not entitled to special latitude in their breaches; it is quite the contrary. They must be held to a more rigid requirement and a more certain and severe deterrence against misbehavior.

The bad behavior of such officials can have far more serious consequences than that of the privately-positioned, as we have all just been shown by the casual murder of George Floyd.

"It is not the function of our Government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the Government from falling into error."

-United States Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson

David Denning Shares His CtC Story, And His Shining Spirit

Both are great, and merit your attention; plus, a revisit to another great story and spirit, with newly-posted documentation.

DAVID WAS GUIDED TO LHC by an activist's social media post. He soon knew he had found a treasure-trove of liberating truth about the deeply-misunderstood, often deliberately-misrepresented income tax-- and much more besides.

Enjoy!

Full documentation of David and his wife Valerie's victories can be seen here.

WELL DONE, DAVID!! And how heart-warming to hear of your sharing out what you have learned to others, who will doubtless do the same in turn! This is how the world is changed.

BTW, YOU CAN FIND MORE videos like David's here and on my YouTube channel here.

AND, HEY! DON'T YOU WISH YOUR INSPIRING BEING-THE-STORM VIDEO was posted, like David's, and all the others? This is easy to do, and very important, and btw, though it's great if you do, these videos do NOT require that you have checks to show. See (and carefully read in their entirety) these guidelines and encouragements.

C'mon, people!!! Stop wishing for the transformation and start being the engine of the transformation. Remember:

“The wishbone will never replace the backbone.

Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness.

Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits one-self, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.

Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.

It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things.

Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.”

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

"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

***

I'M GOING TO TAKE THE OCCASION of posting David's video to repost another-- Ruben Varela's video in which he shares his $457K+ victory against the IRS by way of an original return which was filed 11 years late, but which was thoroughly CtC-educated and therefore up to the challenge.

The reason for the repost is that it was only a few days ago that I belatedly got around to uploading Ruben's documentation associated with the victory (having been asked to do so by someone wanting to show the whole eye-opening story to a CPA needing to learn the truth about the tax). I hadn't done that upload previously because Ruben displays the couple of most relevant documents himself in his video, and I'm always swamped.

But having now refreshed myself on Ruben's overall story in this victory as shown by the whole pack of documents, I'm sorry I hadn't posted before. I very much encourage everyone to watch Ruben's video again, and then read through the document post. It's a great and uplifting time.

Here are the docs involved in Ruben's 15-months of turning the law-evaders "every which way but loose".

BTW, I also want to share my reply to my interlocutor who had requested the posting of Ruben's docs. It's really quite important, and I hope you all will take it to heart:

I have posted the paperwork, Joseph. Go back to that link [on More Victories page 62] and you'll find it.

And certainly, show both the video and the docs to your CPA.

But what that person REALLY needs to see is the seven pages of material here.

How any government agency responds to the truth can range from honestly and lawfully to full-bore corrupt. Such responses are hardly a measure of what is true and merits honor and adherence and what is not and does not.

It is what the law actually says that matters, not what some "official" says about it.

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.

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).

Inarguable (and nowhere disputed) proof of the first two statements above can be found concisely spelled-out in this little 7-page document. Whether the third is true for any particular person can be determined by consulting this guide to understanding "income-taxable privilege".

Daft And Despicable Deniers

What the hell is wrong with these people?!

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

German Official Leaks Report Denouncing Corona as 'A Global False Alarm'

by Daniele Pozzati

Germany’s federal government and mainstream media are engaged in damage control after a report that challenges the established Corona narrative leaked from the interior ministry.

Some of the report key passages are:

• The dangerousness of Covid-19 was overestimated: probably at no point did the danger posed by the new virus go beyond the normal level.

• The people who die from Corona are essentially those who would statistically die this year, because they have reached the end of their lives and their weakened bodies can no longer cope with any random everyday stress (including the approximately 150 viruses currently in circulation).

• Worldwide, within a quarter of a year, there has been no more than 250,000 deaths from Covid-19, compared to 1.5 million deaths [25,100 in Germany] during the influenza wave 2017/18.

• The danger is obviously no greater than that of many other viruses. There is no evidence that this was more than a false alarm.

• A reproach could go along these lines: During the Corona crisis the State has proved itself as one of the biggest producers of Fake News.

So far, so bad. But it gets worse.

The report focuses on the “manifold and heavy consequences of the Corona measures” and warns that these are “grave”.

More people are dying because of state-imposed Corona-measures than they are being killed by the virus.

The reason is a scandal in the making:

A Corona-focused German healthcare system is postponing life-saving surgery and delaying or reducing treatment for non-Corona patients.

Berlin in Denial Mode. The scientists fight back.

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

Afterword

IT'S ALL SUPPOSEDLY BASED ON "THE DATA", right? Here's the data:

Here are the rational predictions posted (originally here) by someone without an agenda served by "lockdowns" (me) the same week those "lockdowns" began:

Data-Points For Sanity

...because nothing is more important than clear thinking right now.

Tuesday, March 24, 2020:  AMONG DATA CAPTURED today (here), are the following:

The United States Center for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that from October 1, 2019 through March 14, 2020, there have been in the USA:

• 38,000,000 - 54,000,000 cases of influenza, resulting in,

• 17,000,000 - 25,000,000 medical visits, leading to,

• 390,000 - 710,000 hospitalizations, and,

• 23,000 - 59,000 deaths.

The portion of these events occurring in 3 of the total 5 1/2 months involved in these estimates-- that is, the portion occurring from mid-December, 2019 through March 14, 2020-- has coincided with the period in which Covid-19 is said to have been spreading.

A little further pertinent data: Flu symptoms appear within 1 - 4 days, and contagion is possible up to 5 - 7 days after becoming symptomatic.

Although no one seems willing to go on record making authoritative statements on the subject, Covid-19 is believed to have a contagion persistence of from 1 - 37 days, with a (pre-symptomatic) incubation period of 1 - 14 days and a high percentage of infections producing no symptoms or very minor, typically-ignored symptoms. This means that Covid-19-infected and contagious persons are much more likely to have moved about in the community with less or no restraint and for much longer periods while contagious than are flu-infected persons.

As of March 23, 2020, the CDC claims that 33,404 people in the USA have been found to have Covid-19, and 400 have died while being infected (although since such deaths almost universally-- if not absolutely-- occur in people with severe medically-threatening conditions outside of the Covid-19 infection, it is not possible to say that Covid-19 was itself responsible for any of these fatalities).

FROM THESE FACTS, and taking flu epidemiology as a model, we can reasonably (and really, inescapably) conclude that at least half as many cases of Covid-19 infection as of influenza in the figures above have already occurred in the USA-- that is, 19,000,000 - 27,000,000. Further, "at least" actually low-balls the case, since Covid-19 is deemed to spread much more readily than influenza.

Therefore, three further facts emerge:

• Covid-19 is very unlikely to present as a serious illness to any large number of persons (since at least 19,000,000 - 27,000,000 infections have yielded only 33,404 cases sufficiently symptomatic to prompt the medical attention by which the condition could be determined, and this in an atmosphere of such national hysteria as to ensure that anyone even imaging symptoms will have sought medical attention). Plus, we now have a cure.

• The fatality rate (and demand load placed on medical resources) is unlikely to exceed what it has been so far (since with many millions-- and presumably a representative cross-section of the community as a whole-- having already been infected and had the disease run its course and have all its effects, the current stats indicate what is to be reasonably expected going forward). Plus, we now have a cure.

• Policies meant to minimize contact between Americans (whether encouraged or coerced) are pointless-- which is to say, unyielding of any benefit (since the supposedly disastrous mass exposures and infections against which they are deployed have already happened-- 19,000,000 - 27,000,000 people have already been infected, and will have exposed 300,000,000 more during the 14 - 37 days during which each of those many millions of folks moved about the community in their normal manner plus the 14 - 37 days during which each other person infected by those millions did the same, in turn). Plus, we now have a cure.

HYSTERIA IS PROVEN, BY THE FACTS IN HAND, to be unfounded. Policies inhibiting Americans' normal conduct of their affairs are simply imposing massive violations of liberty and damage to the economic well-being of all those Americans individually and to America as a society and as a nation overall.

Let's never forget history's endless lesson that it is liberty and prosperity that are the most powerful producers and protectors of good health.

The hysterics should be denounced and removed from all positions of trust and honor, and all policies inhibiting anyone from the free, unhampered and unstigmatized conduct of his or her affairs, whether commercial or otherwise, should be repealed, rescinded, and held up to scorn and derision.

(BTW, ON THAT "WE NOW HAVE A CURE" THING, one fascinating aspect of the C19 "crisis" scam has been the relentless efforts to disparage the HCQ/Z-Pak/Zinc treatment by everyone trying to keep alive the panic-- and the assaults on the rule of law the panic serves to support. Lately we've seen a lot of "clinical trial" reports concluding that the HCQ treatment failed to give good results (and some making the even more ridiculous claim that many heart problems arose from the treatment).

The fact is, many of the early "clinical trials" were set up to fail from the outset. In these studies, the HCQ was used only on hospitalized and already dangerously-ill patients, a protocol expressly denounced by the many, many professionals treating with the cocktail outside the US (and by those successfully doing so here, as well).

The most recent naysaying effort demonstrates another side of the problem-- fraud, as discussed in this article concerning the widely-touted May 22 'Lancet' hit-piece on the HCQ treatment. Interestingly, that 'Lancet' article has since been retracted, but not before AP and CNN and every other pandemic hysteria-booster gleefully pointed to it in an effort to quash the notion that C19 was actually curable, as well as being, as now widely admitted, of very mild character anyway.

One has to see such efforts to keep the general public from understanding that this relatively mild flu is even less threat than mankind has faced every year from its cousin viruses, due to being amenable to a cure (which also makes a vaccine unnecessary and irrelevant), as additional indicators that the "pandemic crisis" is a deliberate fraud perpetrated by some upon the rest of us for their own nefarious reasons.)

LOOKING AT THE WHOLE PICTURE it is clear that America must grow up, and that means ending reliance on the good-will and competence of public officials. They have neither. That external, delusional "White Knight" reliance must be replaced with self-reliance, and the downsizing of the state.

We need to shrink the state from today's perception-controlling and society-dominating Leviathan-size back down to Constitutionally-intended size, a dimension which can be derived from looking at the size at which we maintained all our American governments, combined-- federal, state and local-- for about our first 140 years. That responsive and safe governmental size was so lean as to consume less than 10% of GDP on average-- and yet Americans during that time became the most prosperous society in the history of the world, while America remained a real Land of the Free.

Can you imagine what a difference it would make today to shrink Washington down to less than a fifth of its current size and influence? And to shrink the state governments down by 50% or so?

Well, don't just close your eyes and dreamily smile at the thought. Get up and make it happen.

Spread the knowledge you already have about the true nature of the income tax. The simplest way to do this is to share this little document with everyone you can, in every way that you can.

A New Policy

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.”

Fear nothing but God.

Assessing The Damage From The Misapplication Of The Income Tax

Man, are young Americans getting ripped off...!

"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."
