Over at losthorizons, Perseverant, Pontificating Pete persists (a new post on his "news" page):
Time Is Too Short To Let Willful Blindness Persist
This week, as in all previous editions of this newsletter over the years, I am pleased to post yet another new batch of concrete, unmistakable acknowledgements by the federal and state governments of the accuracy and complete correctness of the information about the income tax in CtC.
Good one!
The latest of the victories posted this week issued just four months ago, and is the sixth such in as many years for the civically-responsible American grown-up who secured it.
This most-recently-posted acknowledgement was made nine long years after the beginning of unending, massive, intense efforts by the feds and their counterparts in federal-income-taxing state governments to frighten everyone away from CtC and to pretend in every way possible except by actual dispute of its revelations that CtC is wrong. In other words, this acknowledgement, like all the hundreds and hundreds of others posted here over the years, and the tens of thousands admitted to by just the feds alone (as indicated by a single IRS official speaking of what her one office in the massive agency had seen in a four-year block from 2005 til 2009 in my trial a few years ago and leaving us to wonder what kind of numbers each office of the 33 state tax agencies routinely honoring CtC-educated claims over the years would have to report) is just the latest irrefutable proof to all but the most willfully blind that what is found in this book IS the liberating truth.
“Many a man stumbles across the truth, then picks himself up and hurries on as though nothing had happened."
-Winston Churchill
And yet, the "tax-honesty" community remains mired in denial about CtC. Hard-working, well-meaning lawyers and paralegals from that community write briefs and go into courtrooms without ever having bothered to read the one book consistently proven correct on the nature of the tax and its actual legal architecture.
Pundits and bloggers post articles and commentaries declaring "facts" and flogging "theories" and viewpoints about the tax which generate a choking fog of nonsense and misinformation and HARM US ALL. Every bit of the nonsense has been authoritatively and thoroughly disproven-- over and over and in the most comprehensive way possible-- by hard facts in CtC and endless evidence on losthorizons.com, but the distracting, confusing and obscuring fog spews forth endlessly.
This week has seen a vast pollution of such harmful punditry, as every American with a soapbox climbed on to issue an opinion piece related to the Fourth of July. Half of these folks ignorantly carried on about 1913 and the 16th Amendment at some point, speaking of them as the occasion of some great calamity, and thus contributed to the very problem about which they complain (the misapplication of federal taxing authority). Having failed to look at real information about the income tax, these folks-- most of whom mean nothing but the best, and are in nearly every other respect the most admirable of writers and opinion-makers-- contribute to the persistent and solution-inhibiting ignorance of the great mass of the American people.
WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO GET THOSE BABBLING ABOUT THE 16TH AMENDMENT, AND SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS, AND DOING AWAY WITH THE INCOME TAX AND ON AND ON AND ON TO SHUT THEIR MOUTHS AND OPEN THEIR EYES AND RECOGNIZE WHAT IS BEFORE THEM??!!
Gosh, Pete, we just don't know! We just don't know. What do you have to do???
I'm at a loss, here, people. Seriously. I am mystified.
So are we, Pete!
And I'm FRUSTRATED! If people like DiLorenzo, Hornberger, Roberts, Rockwell, Jones, Greenwald and others with bully pulpits and well-tuned keyboards would start writing on this subject knowledgeably, it would be transformational ON ALL FRONTS. Liberating truths about EVERY aspect of the Leviathan state by which all of these folks are so righteously troubled would be revealed in a new people-empowering light of understanding. But something keeps these folks from seeing that light.
The great irony is that these folks all recognize the significance of the tax's impact on America today, as is evidenced by their focus on the subject in their writings. As noted above, they deem what they believe to be the advent of our modern experience with the tax to be the death-knell of the American republic and our liberty (often along with the establishment of the fed).
Further, these are generally folks well-enough educated to know better than to accept the "received wisdom" on most any subject as true without sharp and skeptical examination-- especially "received wisdom" flogged into the public consciousness by state apparatchiks. And yet, on this oh-so-important subject, these folks get their news from NBC (or the status-quo-invested organ of your choice) just like any barn-yard boob they contemptuously criticize for taking in nonsense about monetary policy, history, or most Constitutional issues OTHER than the taxing powers.
I know that there is a big campaign going on by the adversaries of the truth to generate fog with their attacks on me, of course, the purpose of which is to dissuade people from studying CtC. But surely no one is so stupid as to misunderstand that an orchestrated mugging like what I've been absorbing over the years is anything but the desperate effort it is, and is, in fact, itself the most potent admission of the truth?
Yeah, I guess you're right. The fact that you spent nearly two years in federal prison for using your Cracking the Code scam on your own tax returns just proves you're right.
Right?
I can't believe that anyone really misunderstands that it is because the muggers CAN'T make a case against CtC fair and square that they engage in dodges, evasions and the sort of scare-show abuse to which I'm being subjected.
Federal prison can definitely be a scare-show, eh Pete?
(Or that anyone mistakes the real message in the increasingly hokey and bizarre efforts to brow-beat a handful of upstanding patriots back into the prone position every year by threat and misdirection; here's a question for the community: How many times have you all seen IRS and state tax forms change during the nine years since CtC first appeared in desperate attempts to keep the charade alive, after decades of changelessness?).
Surely it is clear to everyone who pays attention that every bark, snarl and feint of the junk-yard dog is an admission that it hasn't got anything legitimate and straightforward to say on behalf of what it wants you to believe?
Yeah, all those court losses by your followers, and the absence of even one court victory, certainly is an admission that your scam, uh, oops, I mean your method, oh, gosh darn it, I mean, your non-method really works.
That this yapping and growling is because it has nothing to do but try to scare you away from looking behind the curtain or taking the red pill (which means, READING THE DAMN BOOK, AND READING IT THREE MORE TIMES, IF NECESSARY, AND THEN STANDING YOUR GROUND)?
Nonetheless, despite all these obvious points and the free-standing significance of the huge body of unambiguous physical evidence available for anyone to study, the entire "pundit" class and all-too-many legal specialists even in the "tax-honesty" community step out every day and seed the path with weeds and underbrush to the detriment of us all, rather than lending their strength and voices to clearing the way and striving against those who deliberately lie and misdirect.
I'd say it's a tragedy. What say you, Pete?
It's a tragedy. Working in harmony, we'd have won this battle years ago. As it is, the truth and the liberty that attends it advances with aching slowness, and its enemies are dangerously granted time to work against it. Understand, even the most scintillating truth is of little use once a certain level of lock-down is in place.
Well, I guess you're an expert on lock-downs, aren't you Pete? Two federal prison terms for tax-related crimes, and you still haven't learned your lesson....
SO...
At this recently past Declaration Day party [presumably, the June 30th party at Hendrickson's house] (which was great, by the way, and Doreen and I thank all of you who shared the day with us...) I asked everyone to turn their skills and talents to the task of figuring out how to break through to the willfully blind (and how better to spread the liberating, empowering and Founders'-vision-implementing truth to those not blind, but just not yet exposed).
Now I'm asking you, in the larger group reading these words, to do this, too. I CAN'T DO THIS MYSELF.
I agree that you can't do it Pete. And neither can any of your followers.
I don't appear to know how. I can't seem to get through to these folks.
Just as no one seems to be able to get through to you, Pete. You give a whole new meaning to the phrase "slow learner."
Maybe the attack-and-smear campaign of the bad guys against me-- WHICH IS THERE JUST FOR THIS PURPOSE-- is working. Maybe because I've been targeted with concrete, personally-impacting attacks that my words to these folks are taken as simply self-serving and therefore not to be taken as objectively serious or valid.
No sh[.....]t??!!!?? Yah think???!!!!???
Understand that the problem is not that these folks refuse to recognize the evidence-- IT'S THAT THEY DON'T EVER LOOK AT IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. I think that some who have tried to make contact with folks like this in the past (and I know some of you have) have just sent a link to the victories, for instance, or to the EWWBL pages, or the Victory Highlights page, and figured that things would proceed properly from there. The unfortunate fact is, the folks you sent to never even clicked on the link. Or if they did, they then took it for granted that whatever they saw must be explained and made insignificant by something else that ISN'T being shown to them, 'cause, hey, everyone knows that this sort of thing can't be true, right?
These refunds, closing notices, credits, carefully vague threats, judicial dodges and so on must just all be a mistake of some kind, these folk left to their own contemplation imagine. Left to their own to think about what evidence they bother to take in, folks like this don't reflect on years that have gone by now, and casually dismiss what they see as some kind of agency screw-up. (Nor do they reflect on the fact that this "screw-up" is common to three dozen separate tax agencies, and is spiced with many unmistakably open-eyed capitulations by these agencies along with the more common wordless surrenders to educated claimants.)
