CtC Online It seems like it's time for this. 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 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.
