[quote=”maravilla”]sprite — there are things available that are not as toxic and damaging to human and animal life, as well as the water supply and the environment, as Round-up. A vinegar solution will kill weeds and lots of farmers use a soap solution. i had a big fight with my gardener over round-up. it is NOT allowed on my property. it is a very toxic chemical and causes all kinds of health problems. just google it — you don’t need me to tell you — the research is there.[/quote]
Vinegar and soap? I’ll look into that. I could sell the idea to my guy by asking him to not put on the ground anything he would not want on or in his own body…….because that is where everything put on the ground ends up anyway.
[quote=”costaricabill”][quote=”GEEGEE”]Question for you:
What stand have you made to challenge the IRS, other than perhaps not pay taxes and hope that you dont have to defend yourself? Have you gone up against the IRS and they declared that you in fact are correct and dont have to pay taxes on your wages?gg[/quote]
Sprite: gg’s lengthy explanation (whether you agree with her or not) is followed by the 2 very simple, very logical questions above.
Are you going to answer them and demonstrate to us that you believe in what you say and write in your epistles, or is this another case of [b]”Do as I say and not as I do”?[/b][/quote]
Suffice to say that I file a tax return with all the correct information reported but I attach no income tax payment. You can go to prison for giving false information on a tax filing but you cannot go to prison for not paying what the IRS considers a debt. Debtor’s prison was done away with over a century ago. In my youth, I was an active war protester and draft resister.
So far, I have been fortunate in that neither action has caused me any hardship or negative consequences so I cannot be pushing anyone else to take any action in defense of their freedoms which may well have bad results for them individually…and I have not here.
But I AM pointing out to anyone complaining about unjust war and confiscatory taxes they are dealing with a criminal U.S. government which uses force and threat of force to enslave them and to take the fruits of their energies. They should know they are living in a tyranny which is fast becoming world wide and Costa Rica is no refuge. They should know that bowing to that tyranny only makes it stronger and I believe that the intended end game is a world which will be much less acceptable to them than the one in which they now live.

i have to agree with your views on this
and also GG’s
i believe this is a very personal thing deciding to comply or not
some feel its not worth the mafia coming afterwards.
me I choose a different path
as I set up my structures the same way large corporations do
and in the end
I pay ZERO taxes
and this gives me great pleasure
how else can one stay sane in an unsane world
I opted out of the system
and I sit and watch as all the minions run around in fear of the big goverment
truth is
you can beat the goverment.. not just head on.
you have to think nimble and be like water (bruce lee)
I have not paid taxes in 25 years.
well.. let me rephrase
I pay taxes obviously
on all goods and services plus property etc
not just personal taxes

Well done!
gg,
A quote from Franklin:
“They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”Simple non-compliance is one form of resistance to tyranny and, of course, it has consequences. I have resisted all my life to varying degrees. I am not criticizing you. I am addressing anyone who complains about income tax and war while paying income tax.
I want them to admit they are enslaved to a predator class which is making both economic and military war on them. AND I want them to admit they are hobbled by their submissive, fearful, herd mentality and their wishful thinking.
Below is a link to an old, illustrative story about an evil magician which has to do with this theme..
GG,
And now we get down to the real issue at the heart of the real problem: how to deal with fear when confronted with tyranny.
Those who are most enslaved by tyranny are those who cower in fear of it and those whose obedience is based on ignorance. Ignorance can be easily cured. Fear is another matter.
[quote=”maravilla”]Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose. . . .
The US is a tyrannical gov’t. It operates on fear and we have plenty to fear.[/quote]
If you all continue to pay the unconstitutional income tax, and all the other IRS BS, you deserve what you get..and what you lose.
How do I ask the man who keeps the weeds down on my property to NOT use chemicals in his work? I have watched farmers in Cuba work in the field with machetes and here in Costa Rica as well. It is impressively fatiguing.
This “debt versus national sovereignty” situation is world wide and appears to have been engineered. It looks like a cancer. It began in places like Argentina a decade ago and now has grown and spread. The world is one physicality, not many. As such, there is no part of the world body which would be immune to the fatal effects of this cancer.
Costa Rica is not another world apart. Yet some here want to ban discussion of world events, preferring to focus on local matters such as where they might buy a jar of peanut butter or problems with CAJA. I can’t think of anything more significantly local than the coming destruction of the colon which will mirror the U.S. dollar to which it is pegged.
[quote=”maravilla”]so typical of monsanto. my dog had all those same symptoms from ingesting something sprayed with glyphosate, and now we know that round-up is a neurotoxin (and i suspect that is what Lasso is — probably round-up with a new name in a new territory), causes infertility, etc. and yet, people use it liberally without any thought to the consequences to our planet, our water supply, or our food. “Yeah, our stuff is poison but it’s YOUR fault!”[/quote]
Some say the eugenecists are doing this world wide so as to reduce the population. (It must be difficult to control so many slaves)
Clewis, Snekly,
It is curious. Why are civil, controversial discussions so upsetting to you and a few others? I believe in staying on topic here as well and the topic is Costa Rica. But who are you to decide what things in this wide world do NOT pertain to Costa Rica?
Scott and whomever he chooses to assist him will remove remarks and topics which are not appropriate to this theme. Meanwhile, you can whine and protest and pester him about this matter. I am sure he has better things to do but maybe not. Wouldn’t it be easier to just skip the stuff that so terribly distresses you?
I guess the destruction of the US middle class and the dollar will have very little effect on Costa Rica…After all, the colon is not tied to the dollar, is it?
And the collapse of one of the biggest sources of tourism and trade would be of no concern to a completely self sufficient and prosperous Costa Rica, would it?
I suppose Smekley would rather wait to discuss fire safety until sparks form the burning homes around his house start a fire on his roof.
Right. Roundup is the biggest suspect in that area. I know the farming community around my property use it a lot for weed control. Makes ya wonder if maybe this by design. Big corporations may have been able to remove a lot of African farmers from land by way of poisoning in this manner.
[quote=”clewis”][quote=”sprite”]There is NO AGREEMENT on this site to limit topics, Clewis. We discuss many things here, and US political and economical issues are relevant to Costa Rica. If you are uninterested, simply go away from this thread and quit trying to manipulate.
I have no idea when the world wide socio-economic crash will happen, but there is ample evidence that it IS going to happen. The only question besides the “when” is the “where to go”.
Before such a melt down happens, generally speaking, it seems practical to me that moving to remote countryside is preferable to staying in heavily populated areas. And moving outside the US is preferable to looking for refuge within that country. There are more guns per capita there than most other countries.
I suppose anywhere in Costa Rica which is NOT San Jose would do, although the question of self sufficiency is an important matter to consider. Whatever happens, wherever I am when it happens, I would want to be in the countryside with some stored food and a gun or two.[/quote]
You are SOO wrong man. There was an agreement. I guess [b]someone else [/b]needs to step in and refresh your memory. With all due respect you don’t even live in CR. Neither do I, but I don’t run around on this site like I know it all. I enjoy hearing from those who do live in country. I could debate you on the issue you refer to but there’s no point.[/quote]
Show me the agreement on taboo subjects, if it exists any other place besides inside your head. While you are at it, show me where I have “run around” like I know it all. Do yourself a big favor and just skip my posts. I am sure you must have better ways to spend your time.

[quote=”loraine”][quote=”sprite”]Psychosis: a loss of contact with reality, usually including false beliefs about what is taking place or who one is (delusions)…..know thyself.
Type A personalities must suffer horribly in Costa Rica.
Thank you for the warm welcome to this site. Just call me psychotic Loraine.
Loraine,
My comment refers to those people who find they cannot cope with a new situation which they have chosen for themselves.
Many believe they would like to live at the beach, for example, without considering how life is with constant heat and humidity. Living in a place is not the same as vacationing there.[/quote][/quote]
