MANY OF THOSE READING THIS PAGE arrive at the articles directly by way of
the links provided in the notification emails, forum posts and GAB posts I
send out announcing each fresh newsletter. Those same folks often will not
ever make it to the actual top of the page where each edition begins with a
graphic I think relevant to current events at the time of publication.
Because of the dynamic thus described, and because I see no evidence of any
appropriate uptick in efforts by those already CtC
<https://losthorizons.com/Cracking_the_Code.htm>-educated to enlighten
others to the individual-empowering, state-restraining truth about the
income tax <https://losthorizons.com/TheNatureOfTheTax.pdf>, it occurs to
me that folks arriving here from the posted notifications have missed the
rather important opening graphic that has been featured for a number of
months now:
<https://losthorizons.com/OnShrinkingLeviathan.pdf>
This conclusion troubles me considerably.
FOR FIVE MONTHS NOW, resources yielded to the nutcases by victims of
the "ignorance
tax <https://losthorizons.com/Newsletter.htm#IT>" have facilitated the
insanely reckless escalation of provocations of a very robustly
nuclear-equipped Russia. More specifically and relevantly, a Russia which
possesses a very distinct, and even dramatic-- but also very temporary--
technological advantage in warhead delivery by way of its hypersonic
missile systems (and is thus prone to a "use it or lose it" calculation
under appropriate circumstances).
This escalation of hostile behavior-- on the military front, by way of
weapons and intel supplied to the neo-Nazi, coup-installed regime in Kiev
<https://losthorizons.com/N/188.htm#1>; on the propaganda front, by way of
the relentless one-sided and almost entirely false information spin from the
mockingbird media <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Mockingbird>; on
the economic front by way of cringe-worthily-hypocritical (and backfiring)
"sanctions"; and on the diplomatic-political? front by encouraging provocations
from others
<https://www.theamericanconservative.com/does-lithuania-want-war-with-russia/>--
is relentlessly and substantially raising the temperature of the pot in
which the Russian frog sits. When that frog decides it must jump out, it
will do so by substantially raising the temperature of the United States
(and elsewhere) <https://losthorizons.com/MidEditionUpdate.htm#WarGames>.
Allowing these grossly corrupt and hypocritical
<https://losthorizons.com/N/184.htm#1> false-narrative-fueled provocations
to continue is madness of the most serious sort, from which Americans are
already suffering considerable adverse consequences (both insofar as the
Ukraine situation is used to excuse the implementation of the "Green New
Deal" and other bad and destructive policies
<https://losthorizons.com/N/202.htm#4> and by way of of real disruptions to
world trade, most notably in fertilizer and other agricultural inputs and
products). Waiting in the wings is the risk of annihilation.
This madness is a true existential threat, and it is facilitated by the
ignorant acquiescence of American men and women who are simply unaware that the
law allows them to withhold their support and reduce the nutcases to
gasping for air <https://losthorizons.com/BobsBicycles.pdf>.

*A Showcase Of Today's Republican Political Spectrum*
*...and a window into one of the very important contests in this upcoming
mid-term election.*
EVERY UPCOMING MID-TERM ELECTION CONTEST is important. But the
top-of-the-ticket state-office contests in Michigan are particularly so.
Like only a few others, Michigan is a large-population swing state. It was
one of five particularly targeted for massive vote fraud in the 2020
election (as shown in the powerful documentary exposé, '2000 Mules
<https://losthorizons.com/N/194.htm#1>', among other compelling bodies of
evidence, none of which-- contrary to the propagandistic spin of Democrats
and fellow-travelling voices in the media, have ever been examined in any
court proceeding).
This November, Governor Gretchen Whitmer, Attorney General Dana Nessel and
Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson will all face challengers. Whitmer is
famous for having jumped early, hard and persistently on the "total
lockdown" bandwagon, despite being prohibited from doing so by Michigan's
Constitution. She even continued with the same measures and policies after
Michigan's Supreme Court expressly held her to be in violation of the
Constitution <https://losthorizons.com/N/128.htm#1>.
Whitmer is also famous for having seeded Michigan nursing homes with
persons infected with respiratory diseases
<https://losthorizons.com/N/140.htm#1>, resulting in a so-far-still-unknown
number of deaths self-servingly attributed to COVID-19.
Dana Nessel is most recently famous for having declared that every public
elementary school should suffer drag-queen events
<https://dailycaller.com/2022/06/15/dana-nessel-michigan-drag-queen-every-school/>.
She also played her part in the COVID-coup, supporting Whitmer's manifestly
invalid "work-around" of the Michigan Supreme Court ruling on her COVID
measures of simply having the same prohibited edicts issued by Whitmer's
subordinate public-health director and threatening and otherwise harassing
everyone seeking to gather and present evidence of the widespread vote
fraud conducted in Democrat-stronghold precincts.
Jocelyn Benson is famous for having illegally instructed city clerks
throughout Michigan to disregard voter signature-verification requirements
required by Michigan law, as found in March, 2021 by the Michigan Court of
Claims
<https://news.ballotpedia.org/2021/03/19/michigan-court-of-claims-invalidates-absentee-mail-in-ballot-rule-as-improperly-established/>
.
In short, Whitmer, Nessel and Benson are very bad people, and all need to
be replaced.

* Congress Showers The Pentagon With Cash While Americans Pinch Pennies*
*Lawmakers this week will rubber stamp a bill authorizing tens of billions
more to the Defense Department that it didn’t even ask for. *
by Ben Freeman and Faezeh Fathizadeh
Gas prices are at an all-time high. Rent prices have set records for the
last 13 months straight. Inflation is increasing so sharply that even the
cost of basic utilities has risen by nearly 30 percent in the last 12
months. There are growing fears that the economy is poised to fall into
recession.
What is Congress doing as a growing chorus of Americans think these and
other economic issues are the most important problems facing the nation
today? They’re planning to give military contractors the biggest payday
they’ve ever seen.
This week, at a time when Americans are fighting to keep roofs over their
heads and feed their families, Congress’s plan is to authorize a
record-setting $838.8 billion in spending, not to the American people, but
to the Pentagon. As happens nearly every year, more than half of this sum
will likely go to Pentagon contractors, whose CEOs make tens-of-millions of
dollars while telling their shareholders that war and rising global
tensions are good for business.
Yet this week Congress is on track to give the Pentagon $37 billion more
than the military even asked for. Instead of funding pork-barrel projects
across the country -— such as the Littoral Combat Ship, known in U.S. Navy
circles as the “little crappy ship” that reportedly can’t travel half its
maximum speed without cracking its hull — Congress could use this money to
pay for a variety of things Americans desperately need right now, like
school lunches, affordable housing, and utility assistance programs.
Even just lowering taxes by $37 billion or giving this money directly to
the American people could put more than $100 in the pocket of every single
American at a time when they desperately need it.
Not only would spending in such ways benefit the individuals and
communities that receive them, it would also help revitalize the U.S.
economy — and make it more equitable to boot. As has been well documented,
defense spending is one of the least economically productive ways the
government can spend its money. Spending on education, health care, and
lowering taxes, for example, have all been shown to create more — and
higher paying — jobs.

*"I confidently trust that the American people will prove themselves...too
wise not to detect the false pride or the dangerous ambitions or the
selfish schemes which so often hide themselves under that deceptive cry of
mock patriotism: 'Our country, right or wrong!' They will not fail to
recognize that our dignity, our free institutions and the peace and welfare
of this and coming generations of Americans will be secure only as we cling
to the watchword of true patriotism: 'Our country--when right to be kept
right; when wrong to be put right.'"*
