What Life Is Like When The Truth Revealed In CtC Is Widely Understood
By Peter Hendrickson [Full original at this location.]

Your great-grandparents would remember this with aching fondness; you will be delighted and astonished.

IN HIS 1776 MASTERPIECE ‘An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations’, (and other of his writings, as well) Adam Smith explains the concept of the “invisible hand” by which each individual looking out solely for his or her own self-interest nonetheless organically supports and improves the well-being and prosperity of the whole community. America’s founders and the framers of the United States Constitution, who were close students of Smith’s work and wisdom, employed the same principle in their establishment of the federal tax structure.

That structure is designed to ensure that federal revenue reliance would necessarily be upon excises, imposts and duties, the incidences of which are entirely within the control of each individual citizen. Because each citizen naturally attends to his or her own financial well being by limiting such incidences, the Founders’ structure, like a mighty invisible hand energized by hundreds of millions of individual self-interests, relentlessly keeps the state lean and on the leash– when that structure is functioning as intended and is not nobbled by ignorance and Leviathan-serving mythology and disinformation.

Folks, it looks like Doreen is going back in to finish her ‘term.’ Surrender date is January 29, 2018. Please find two excellent explanatory, inspiring posts by loving husband Peter here:

  1. http://losthorizons.com/IStandWithDoreen.htm#BackToPrison
  2. http://losthorizons.com/Documents/CtCLife.htm.

As you all know, Doreen’s story warrants a Pulitzer Prize winner to be writing it and spreading the truth about her unlawful and unconstitutional pro/persecution… and exposing the lies of the Ignorance Tax scheme… a scheme that is crumbling before our eyes. [Ref. Pete’s outstanding column, item 2) above.] All funds raised go straight to Pete and Doreen.

My understanding is she will be having the same address and you can contribute to her supplies fund, when the time comes. I’ll post another update with that information at that point. The Doreen Relief fundraiser is here: http://gofundme.com/DoreenRelief.

I don’t have to tell you that nothing changes out here on the CtC warrior front lines, most of us wouldn’t know how to go back to filing Ignorant, even if we wanted to. Continue reading →

Movie Review: Get Low (2009)

Enthralling character study coming to grips __ 9/10

Frank Quinn: I sold 26 of the ugliest cars in the middle of December with the wind blowing so far up my ass I was farting snowflakes into July.

Frank Quinn: You’ve been wanting a shot at sales. As of right now, you’re on commission. Remember—foot in the door, establish trust, and drop the hammer.
Buddy: I’d rather you go, too.
Frank Quinn: No doubt. But if you don’t do this by yourself, you’ll never know if you’re any good. And you’ll never be good if you don’t know that you are.

Felix Bush: They keep talking about forgiveness. “Ask Jesus for forgiveness.” I never did nothing to him.

Too bad these are the only movie quotes on the IMDb page, because the quote I wanted to present here was from the Frank Quinn character (Bill Murray)—who to my mind provides the main social thread, not to mention the low-key humor, to the enterprise. It’s a quote where he sticks up for himself as a small-town funeral home proprietor, if you will, a salesman (illustrated by the top quote above)… and proud of it. Or at least not ashamed to assert himself to the seemingly moralistic Mr. Felix Bush (Robert Duvall). Continue reading →

Guest Column: Remember the Liberty!

From an “If Americans Knew” mailing
by Alison Weir

Republished from May 22, 2017 original.

Dear Brian,

June 8th will be the 50th anniversary of the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty.

On that day Israeli forces tried to sink a U.S. Navy ship with all men aboard. They failed in that but succeeded in killing 34 Americans and injuring over 170.

Later, reluctantly, Israel gave the US $6 million “compensation” for the $40 million ship it had damaged so severely that it had to be scrapped.

When surviving crew members have called for a full, honest investigation of the attack, Israel and its partisans have called them “antisemitic.” Continue reading →

Brian’s Column: The Fourth Dream

Combo of Barry Sanders, Jason Bourne, and Roy Hobbs
By Brian R. Wright

A continuation of the Three Dreams column

As if to underscore the notion that enlightenment is at hand, last night I had the most remarkable and empowering dream, arguably, of my life to this point. I include the recording as a high-def scan on the right, click on the image to expand it the better to read.

In a nutshell, I was poised for my second sleep sequence and to get back to sleep soonest I employed the Spiritual Magic Move described in The Truman Prophecy… only on this occasion enhanced with a ‘Feel the Wheel,’ no-mind practice of Falun Dafa.

It took me to an immersion in the ‘God’-source: utterly deep quiet skyscape, mountain-scape, seascape, sunlit. Then sleep. Then dream: I’m a combination of centered supreme athletic force (a la running back Barry Sanders) with capabilities of Jason Bourne (of the Bourne movies) and even Roy Hobbs of The Natural. I feel incredible power, limitless energy and vision, as with Hobbs: “Anything he wants to hit he hits.”

“I’ll have what HE’s having.” [I’ll have much more to add as the year progresses.]

I tell you people, especially to friends of mine who have all but run out of gas, hang on just a bit longer. You, too, shall be the Roy Hobbs of your world. THIS is the year of the Grand Truth Convergence, fulfillment of the Prophecy, and everyone’s extraordinary breakout! Continue reading →

Book Review: All I Really Need to Know… (1988)

Posted on by

… I Learned in Kindergarten
Robert Fulghum

1988, Ivy Books, 196 pages

FulghumThe inspiration for reading this book comes from a reference at the Free State Project 2007 Winter Porcupine Festival.  John Stossel of ABC 20/20 “skewerer of conventional knowledge” fame addressed us at the banquet with a message that simplicity favors liberty.  He paraphrased Fulghum’s charming little book as follows:

1) Don’t hit people
2) Don’t steal people’s stuff
3) Keep your promises

A set of premises totally in keeping with the Sacred Nonaggression Principle (SNaP) and, equally important, a prescription for living well. The author of All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten, Robert Fulghum, at least has lived widely: having been a ranch hand, a folksinger, IBM salesman, professional artist, parish minister, bartender (I almost wrote ‘parish bartender’ :-)), teacher of drawing and painting, and father.  At least for the time when the book was published in 1988 he lived with his wife on a houseboat in Seattle.

So the author is what one might call a free spirit.  When asked, “What do you do?” he usually replies that he is a philosopher, and then explains what he likes to do is think a lot about ordinary things then express what he thinks by writing or speaking or painting, whichever seems appropriate.  In All I Really Need to Know we have a series of short essays about “ordinary things”… like kindergarten, eensy-weensy spiders, South Pacific islanders who yell at trees, raccoons making whoopy in the crawlspace, buying deerskin gloves in San Saba, Texas, coloring with Crayola crayons, and other rituals of “deep-rooty places.” Continue reading →
