Our minds can really hit the fireworks. In this reflection also understand that devices, paraphernalia, gizmos, rites, rituals all become complicated and the people will loose by relying on external factors that are based on priests which are men in lab coats.

For instance here in Matthew, Jesus is discussing taxes. He basically tells Peter (The Rock) to go fishing. Get the first fish. In is mouth will be the amount of tax burden for Jesus and Peter. In other words, no sweat, God has got this.

MAT 17.24 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?

MAT 17.25 He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?

MAT 17.26 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.

MAT 17.27 Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.

--KJV

yes, this insight - "God has got this" is central to it all

all the other details are just entertainment, really

Hah, I will go in fishing before filing taxes this year.

This reminds me of someone telling me off for wanting to hide Bitcoin KYC "render to Caesar the things that are for Caesar".

Sometimes Christianity sure looks like a corporate psyop to make people good little workers and lenders of their time.

What if I want to be Caesar.

I think Jesus is telling Peter not to worry because he had a solution then.

They also did not have income tax where your wages were confiscated before you received them.

i have some tax number here but i didn't update my address and they don't seem to really care over here in the atlantic, about what the idiots in lisbon think, which is quite comical (and the lady i dealt with was very friendly with me)

it's my firm opinion that you just play dumb, you stop interacting with the idiots in the bureaucracy, and you just build a strategy for how to deal with the possible, but not likely proactive investigation on your pitiful estate and it's lack of compliance with their extortion threats

it's not something that risk averse people will do, but i have much experience at various points in the systems i have interacted with, that tell me:

- they never really refund you anything

- they accept whatever idiot bullshit you provide to them

- it's better to not file anything

and lastly

- their whole business is criminal, and in violation of the constitution where you are, and/or the grandfathered in laws that still apply due to you living in a colony of whereever

I like visiting Lisbon in September last year.

I can't argue with your logic here.

We just do the best we can with what we have.

i literally got them to write off a history of refund claims on VAT in australia totalling over 30k AUD and i got a special letter from the secretary of taxation claiming that they were not obliged to write off my debt as per the document i sent them and i replied a while later demanding they send back the payment instrument if it was not good

and that was that

they then sent me 2 more fraud bills abotu it and then gave up

i won

taxation is literally fraud, even upon the system of law it is concocted out of

also, lisbon is a parasite on the wine, fish and tourism of madeira, that's why there is a substantial independence movement here, and the governor is a bitcoiner, as well, and very popular (and chega, the "right" wing political party is also a winner here for all very related reasons)

btw this is all playing in to why i am going to spend the next two years putting together the funds and necessary prerequisites to acquire an oceangoing vessel and take that little cat with me as my ship's cat

starting to make a whole lot of sense why i came to this island now, thank the Lord for His guidance
