"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….." -James Madison

A New Short Educational Film Is On Its Way... ...but I'm starting to wonder why I'm bothering. There is absolutely no point in my making these educational films IF YOU DON'T WATCH THEM AND SHARE THEM!! These films, I believe, offer a better means of engaging the attention and inspiring the interest of folks not already awake to the importance of the truth about the tax (and not awake to that truth in the first place). I have to yell now: ENGAGING THE ATTENTION AND INSPIRING THE INTEREST OF THESE FOLKS IS THE PARAMOUNT GOAL OF ANYONE WANTING TO END THE SCOURGE OF THE MIS-APPLIED INCOME TAX!! Nothing else that you could do to correct the mis-application of the tax-- both in individual cases and in general-- comes even remotely close in virtue to awakening other people to the truth. It is when enough Americans know the truth about the tax that every judge, politician, business owner and tax agent will be yanked into line. UNTIL ENOUGH AMERICANS KNOW THE TRUTH, THE BAD ACTORS AMONG THESE FOLKS WILL STAY BAD. PERIOD. Upstanding warriors will keep winning their victories. But they will keep needing to win them because improper withholding and bogus W-2 and 1099s will continue. After all, why would corrupt judges and executive-branch thugs accustomed to living large on your sweat stand down before there is at least a metaphorical or potential mob at the castle gate with pitchforks and torches? They never will. And how will such a mob arise? It will arise by Americans seeing FACTS supporting the assertion that they have been getting screwed in defiance of the legal structure which they respect and in which they are invested. People are okay with getting screwed if they believe it's somehow "legitimate"-- that is, in keeping with agreed-upon rules of the game. But they are NOT okay with having the wool pulled over their eyes and then being simply exploited. Showing that the latter is true is what CtC is all about. And it is what these films are about. Think, for instance, about the hard evidence that today's tax originates 50 years before the 16th Amendment, which is presented in last week's release. The pre-16th Amendment origin of the tax means that the "income" being addressed in (and affected by) the amendment is only what had been taxable without apportionment for all those preceding years. The pre-16th Amendment origin of the tax means that the Pollock court's brief interruption of the tax concerned the tax's application to that definition of "income", and nothing else. The pre-16th Amendment origin of the tax means that the amendment's correction of the Pollock court's error also concerns nothing but "income" so defined, and that what is "income" subject to the tax today remains nothing more than what could be Constitutionally taxed without apportionment BEFORE the Pollock court's error and the 16th amendment's correction of that error. ANY competent legal scholar would need LITTLE MORE THAN THAT ONE FACT-- that the tax pre-dates the amendment-- to recognize that the current popular beliefs about what comprises "income" subject to the tax are FALSE. Thus, all we need to do is GET THESE FILMS, demonstrating their simple indisputable facts, in front of enough eyes. SOME of those eyes will inevitably be those of competent legal scholars in the "mainstream". SOME of these scholars will have enough intellectual integrity to admit what will then be clear to them, and their voices will be added to ours. These new voices will successfully communicate to others (many of whom wouldn't give you or me the time of day, and will never wake up as long as their "tax attorney" or other supposedly knowledgeable advisor is free to perpetuate the myths without rebuttal and rebuke by these newly-educated voices, no matter how simply or ardently CtC's revelations are presented) how they're being screwed in defiance of the law. Then the metaphorical mob will quickly start to form. That's how the snowball rolls; and how it will roll over the bad guys. BUT ONLY IF YOU SHARE THESE FILMS FAR AND WIDE. Here are the links to the newest films: 'Educated Americans Love The Income Tax' and 'Busting The Myth-Mongers'. Each of them should have many thousands of viewings showing already. Instead, it looks like only the tiniest fraction of even just those of you getting this stuff from me directly have bothered to watch them. Why should I bother if you're not going to? YOU watching them does nothing for anyone, even if all of you did so. If you don't share them with others, I'm just wasting my time. Care to post a comment on this article?
Now, More Than Ever, It's Time To Learn The Truth About The Tax! AS THE STATE GOES EVER-MORE ROGUE, it is ever more important that American men and women step up and cut back the beast's rations, as the Founders meant for them to do, and relied upon them to do. That discipline is the only peaceful, functional remedy for a circumstance like ours today, in which the political process has been captured by enemies of the Constitution and the judiciary is either entirely corrupt and co-opted or is intimidated into silence for lack of sufficiently-evident resolve among the people. Accordingly, this week I updated my 2006 introductory film, 'It's Time To Learn The Truth', and added 15 minutes of inspirational words from some serious CtC Warriors. Find it below and on YouTube's site here. PLEASE! Watch it through, and then spread it to everyone, like your liberty depends on it. It does.
"All governments are run by liars and nothing they say should be believed." -I. F. Stone

Don't Keep A Bushel Over Your Candle!! I HAD A CONVERSATION THE OTHER DAY with a warrior still waiting for his first victory, and who is instead being put through an obnoxious stall-and-distract "frivolous" routine (along with his warrior wife). This recently-retired professional man has done everything to comprehensively uphold the law, even going back as far as possible to correct his business filings as well as his personal ones, but so far with no joy. My correspondent had suing on his mind, and wisely so-- the stall-and-distract "frivolous" assertions are calculated to occupy their target while the two-year window to launch a suit to compel the issuance of a thus-far unmade refund closes, and these folks aren't going to get foiled by that cheap ploy. So, I encouraged my friend to proceed, with all possible dispatch. At the same time, though, and more vehemently still, I urged this good man to another, parallel activity which I think even more virtuous, since it offers direct benefit to everyone: WRITING UP HIS STORY FOR PUBLICATION!! Thinking about what this wonderful couple has been put through, I was struck hard by how compelling their story is as evidence of the truth about the tax-- just as is the story of every carefully-scrupulous educated filer and claimant whose claims are being evaded with the manifestly inapt, obviously-dodgy "frivolous" bs. I was also struck by the realization that those who have been victimized by this run-around don't understand the power of their stories! My correspondent said as much to me when I brought up the idea of him writing up his story for his local paper, and/or posting in one place or another on the internet; his initial response was that, 1. He HAD thought about writing it up, but as a book; and 2. He didn't want to write it up until he had gotten a favorable resolution of the matter, thinking that only then would it be a virtuous story to tell. No, no, NO! Both of these notions-- that the whole tale could fill a book, and that it is desirable to be able to report a victory at the end of the story-- are understandable. But both overlook the very important facts that a 1500-word article will get read, while a book might not; a 1500-word article will get written, while a book might never be (and in any event, won't get written and out there NOW, while the need is immediate and high); and the story of illegitimate resistance to a CtC-educated claim is just as powerful an educational tool as a victory-- maybe even more powerful. I ask you all, would the civil-rights movement have gotten the attention it did if the only people who ever told their stories were those NOT subjected to manifest abuse? If Rosa Parks' story had been, "Well, a white guy came on board and demanded that I give up my seat in the front of the bus to him. I refused, and he gave up and went to the back himself," do you think her experience would have inspired anyone to pay attention? More to the point here, evasions are evidence of truths-- just as much so as are admissions or capitulations. Those of you who are attentive will have noted that while most of the EWWBL episodes I post end up as victories, I also post those that are not-- because an unfounded or transparently-evasive dodge by the government is just as much evidence of what the law actually requires as is a surrender to that requirement. When you can show your opponent doing the equivalent of muttering, "Yeah, THAT's the ticket...!" you are showing that he's lying. When you show that he's lying, you are showing that the truth is not on his side, and IS on your side. I REALIZE THAT EXPLAINING HOW THE STATE'S AGENTS ARE LYING is not as easy as simply announcing a victory. But it IS just as compelling to those we need to reach, and in some ways, more so. Despite its ever-increasing ludicrousness, there are still some who cling to the feeble "denial" notion that CtC victories are just a [ten years long, tens of thousands of occasion] "slip through the cracks". These folks convince themselves that CtC-educated victories don't happen because they should, but only happen by accident. But that "it's all been a big mistake" notion, even as deeply delusional as those who resort to it are willing to be, can find no traction when facing demonstrable outside-the-law behavior by the state in response to CtC-educated claims. No one can argue that gimmicked "frivolous" notices making fake and deliberately incorrect references to statutory language, for example, are "slips through the cracks"! SO, HERE'S THE THING, PEOPLE: This community really needs to become a very vocal, very widely-published community of revelatory voices-- RIGHT NOW. Every one of you needs to get busy bearing witness to the truth-- trumpeting your victories and denouncing any and all law-defying, truth-revealing evasion of the truth by its enemies. As I counseled my correspondent the other day, every one of us must write our 1500-word testimonials. Write them for consumption NOT by me or by the CtC-educated, but for reading (or watching-- video stories, even just of you reading or telling your story are great) by those not yet equipped with the liberating truth about the tax. Get them out there-- in your hometown paper, your newsgroups, your chatrooms and your blogs. Email them around, and copy me, please. The ice is breaking, because lies only hold up until the weight of the truth becomes too much for them, but it has a way of hardening back up if the pressure upon it doesn't grow. If all you've had are victories, sing them out! If you've had resistance, sing that out, just as loudly. Use the resources on this site. You don't have to analyze any evasions to which you might have occasion to refer-- just describe them with an eye to pointing out that they are unmistakably knowing and deliberate, and provide the URL at which they can be read about here as the means for explaining how they are manifestly contrary to the law. Understand that EVERY state reaction to CtC IS A RESOURCE on behalf of communicating and emphasizing the liberating truth. But only if you put it out there... Care to post a comment on this article?

What Makes YOU A Warrior For The Truth? We each have our reasons, and our story. It's time, and it's needed, for you to share yours with the world. Everyone's failure to step up and fulfill this simple request is really getting to me, now... "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.
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.
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.
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.
Keep in mind 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.
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!
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.
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.
So, please make and send those videos right away! 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 here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here.
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." -Margaret Mead

Project Paradigm-Shift
IN ANOTHER ARTICLE ON THIS PAGE I SPOKE OF
AMERICAN HERO EDWARD SNOWDEN, who is now rightly celebrated for
his efforts at spreading an important truth. I hope YOU
are doing YOUR part at being an American Hero by
spreading
this
link far and wide! Anything
and everything must be done to get it into a state of viral
distribution across America.
I am counting on you to help make this happen by sending everyone this link.
Seriously, my friend. Even if you never do "action items",
please do this one.
You may not recognize how doing this will make any difference. I tell you, it will make ALL the difference.
This document is the anti-body to all the germs of error, disinformation and misunderstanding that allow the "ignorance tax" to persist. It needs to be given a chance to take root in as many minds as possible-- especially those NOT in the CtC community.
In many of these minds, perhaps, this truth anti-body will wither for lack of a hospitable environment. But in just as many, it will flourish and bloom, and those folks will become the patient and innovative teachers of others.
Pleas help me with this oh-so-important project.
P. S. I know a lot of folks out there have self-defeating notions planted in their minds about how clearing up confusion about the "income tax" won't matter, "'Cause they'll just pay for all the badness with inflation, man!" or whatever.
No, they won't.
If "they" could do that and survive politically, (and weren't getting a whole lot more out of the maladministration of the "income tax" than just a couple of trillion dollars a year, as well), the tax would've been dropped with a grimace and without a backward glance like the universally-hated thing that it is, at least forty years ago. This "they'll just inflate" thing could only be said by someone not old enough (or alive at all) during the 1970s when we had a test of just how Americans would tolerate real inflation...
(Not that we're going to be spared getting a good dose of inflation soon anyway, you understand, unless we very quickly shrink the state down so small that it no longer has the resources to quash the emergence of free and valid currencies. This will only happen by Americans reclaiming individual control of their resources, as is relied upon by the framers in their design for a meaningfully-Constitutionally-limited republic-- and that, of course, is what this page is all about.)
The misunderstanding of the income tax is the thoroughly cultivated thing that it is (and anyone reading through this page will come to understand just how diligent is that cultivation) BECAUSE THE MISAPPLIED TAX IS THE INDISPENSABLE LIFEBLOOD OF THE UNRESTRAINED STATE. The state knows this well.
Indeed, the reason the truth about the tax is hedged about with a more enormous army of lies (and constantly-recruited "stakeholding" defenders) than any other organ of the state is because it is so vital to Leviathan's excesses, ambitions and survival. It is the heart of the monster.
This document is the monster's bane. Your efforts to spread this shaft of illuminating, inspiring and disinfecting sunlight will do more for your future well-being and that of your children than anything else you could do.

from Critical Inquiries for a New American Century
Bob’s Bicycles or 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 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:

A "Pragmatic" Perspective On The Tax And The Rule Of Law Hey, don't bother me with that "morality" argument, and all that stuff about "upholding the rule of law". I'm a pragmatist. I'm just interested in looking out for numero uno, and living my life without any hassles from the IRS! So I'm okay with submissively letting my federal and state governments:
etc.... etc.... etc.. I'm good with all of it, just as long as I'm left alone, dude! -- TELL ME THIS ISN'T YOU! TELL ME YOU UNDERSTAND that leaving the government alone to break the law with impunity (and worse, participating in the process by lying on your own sworn tax returns, or by silently acquiescing to the erroneous allegations of others about your earnings) ensures NOT ONLY that you are morally and legally compromised, but also that you WON'T be "left alone, dude!" You DO understand this, right, dude? *** To suffer abuse without complaint or struggle is to suffer it nonetheless-- but to suffer it without the amelioration of dignity and self-respect. *** If You Have Done So, Aren't You Really, Really Glad YOU'VE Taken Control Of How Much Of YOUR Money Washington Gets To Spend, Just As The Founders Intended?
If You Haven't, ARE YOU CRAZY??!!
Seriously! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU??

LEARN the liberating, empowering, critically-important truth about the 16th Amendment and the liberating, empowering, critically-important truth about the "income" tax. STOP merely reading (or writing) about how bad things are and START DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT! *** BY THE WAY... WHERE ARE YOUR SCHOLARLY OR INSPIRATIONAL ARTICLES ON THE TRUTH ABOUT THE TAX, PEOPLE? Do you think I can change the law-defying false paradigm of the "ignorance-tax" beneficiaries all by myself? That's not possible!! YOU LAWYERS have to publish and post your own CtC-educated scholarly articles in your profession's journals and on its websites. YOU CPAS have to publish and post your own CtC-educated scholarly articles in your profession's journals and on its websites. YOU NON-SPECIALIZED AMERICAN GROWN-UPS have to publish and post your educated and inspirational letters and personal stories in your hometown newspapers, in every e-zine out there, and in every chat-room and news-group.

A Few Tips For Making Best Use Of This WebSite
USE THE SITE MAP!!!
USE THE SITE SEARCH!!!
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.
