Welcome to the Liberating Truth about the American Income Tax

Now online, annotated, and free.

AUGUST 23, 2023: So, it's exactly twenty years since CtC first rolled off the presses. They sure do grow up fast, right?

Well, actually, not in this case. That twenty years has been a long, seemingly endless slog.

From the get-go, corrupt elements in the federal government have striven hard to suppress the book. The threat CtC represents to the Leviathan state was known even before that first printing, as evidenced by the appearance on my door one evening the following February of a print-out of LHC from August 23, 2003 (it was very small then), along with a summons for me to appear before an IRS bureaucrat to explain why publication or distribution of the book should not be enjoined.

I had first posted the core revelations of CtC in December of 2002, and had doubtless been on the agency's radar screen from that time forward. It seems that when I followed up with the much more comprehensive and accessible treatment in book form 9 months later, someone decided it was time to step in and smother this dangerous baby in the crib.

That summons led to a series of defeats for the government, but was then followed by a decade+ of increasingly corrupt assaults and smears-- even as local, state and federal tax agencies quietly issued hundreds of thousands of refunds to claimants informed by CtC. You can (and very much should) read the fully-documented and highly-revealing story of this abuse and hypocrisy here.

DURING THE SAME PERIOD DESCRIBED ABOVE, CtC was pirated multiple times and passed around the internet as .pdfs (with the copyright page omitted, of course). Shortly before I was sentenced after a seriously kangaroo court proceeding on charges of not believing what I reveal in the book I released an authorized free edition myself, being uncertain at that point of my ability to continue to get this hugely important truth out to the American public going forward.

Nonetheless, a lot of folks who became aware of CtC never bothered to actually get the book, relying instead on word-of-mouth representations of its information (often offered by others who themselves had no direct knowledge) which were invariably incomplete, if not outright misrepresentations.

In other cases, even folks who HAD "read" the book only paid attention to the portions they thought relevant to their own circumstances, imagining they already understood the tax generally. Or, they didn't fall prey to that disastrous mistake but still failed to make it through the appendix and to the last page. It is there that readers are strongly advised to proceed to the extensive and steadily-growing supplemental material I have spent twenty years posting in increasing depth on LHC-- especially material added in response to the various ploys, dodges, obfuscations and evasions seized on by tax agencies trying to keep the "ignorance tax" gravy train rolling in the face of CtC's revelations.

And then, of course, there are many folks who have done everything right but simply have failed to see every new supplemental post as they have been added or updated over the years, since they (understandably) don't live and breathe this subject the way I do, and (less understandably) have failed to diligently read my newsletters announcing or containing these supplements.

Finally, there are also folks hungry to learn the truth about the tax but afflicted with visual impairments. These folks have waited for a version of the book accessible to anyone equipped with OCR-capable text-to-speech software.

It is to serve the interests of all these folks listed above, and hopefully to dramatically expand the ranks of educated and activated Americans on the field of battle against the enemies of the rule of law that I have decided to release CtC online, for anyone and everyone to read at no charge (although donations and appreciations will be gratefully accepted, and hard copies of the book remain available).

FURTHER, AND IMPORTANTLY, I have  taken advantage of the opportunity presented by the online format to make this posted version fully annotated, with links to relevant supplemental material throughout the text.

Some of these annotations are targeted to specific portions of the text on any given page, as indicated by footnote markers (i.e. "1") with the corresponding link provided at the end of the page. Others are more generally related to the overall subject matter of the page or the chapter, and appear at the end of either such section (but the very last link that appears at the end of each chapter will take you to the next chapter).

In a few cases urls that appear in the original text have been hot-spotted into active links. Click on any you encounter to see if they are so treated.

REPITITION WILL INEVITABLY BE ENCOUNTERED among these linked supplements-- that is, the reader may find the same supplemental post appearing as a footnote in several different places throughout the book, and/or encounter some of the same material covered in several different supplements.

In the first instance this is because multiple aspects of the tax or its administration addressed in CtC necessarily relate to certain core concepts or elements, general American misunderstanding or ignorance of which has been cultivated by the state throughout the lifetimes of every reader. I am unwilling to assume that because I directed a reader to the supplemental material regarding any such concept or element once it will be remembered with sufficient accuracy from that point forward.

In the second instance (encountering some of the same material covered in several different supplements) this is due to the fact that the supplemental materials have been written over the course of twenty years as free-standing posts, rather than specifically for the purposes to which they are being adapted here. In that same vein, many (if not all) will end with an exhortation to read CtC... Needless to say, once finished with reading such supplements, simply close the new tab on which they have appeared and continue with the book.

Many of the supplemental posts footnoted in the new online book will contain links within their own text (or at the end of it). Clicking on such links is at the reader's discretion, but that discretion should tend toward restraint in new readers of CtC. The supplement to which I have linked in the footnote will contain all that needs to be seen at that point, and maintaining continuity in reading the book is more important than deeper-dives into the subject. Save that pleasure for another time.

FINALLY, AT THIS POINT THE FOOTNOTING is in its early stages and will be a work-in-progress for awhile. As longtime members of this community are aware (and as I have suggested above), over those twenty years since CtC first appeared I have written a HUGE amount of supplemental material-- and will continue to do so. Selecting and posting links meriting inclusion will take a lot of time and effort.

In fact, the annotating may never be finished until the "ignorance tax" scheme has finally collapsed completely, and that won't happen until a sufficient number of Americans have read CtC.

I have now made that reading easier than ever-- and free of charge.

Do your part and share this link and some encouragement as widely as you can.

NOTE: This book is NOT to be downloaded, or printed, or copied in any other way. Doing any of these things will be both a legal violation and a moral violation. Read it here, and when wanting to help others read the book, do so only by sharing this link
