Realization means that their is a changing of hands or of forms of assets. Income tax and taxes on currency now are dependent on such transactions. Someone already noted the problems with just taxing possession on a given date of e.g., inventory. To tax efficiently you have to tax an event of transfer.
Why? is it because of the nature of a transfer, it lend itself more to reporting and detecting? Or is it simply because of the legal system structure?
Give me context. It's possible to kill the president too. That > doesn't mean it will become the basis of government.
I think that Mr. Bell defined the context quite well and thoroughly. And, as he said, the president is unlikely to be the target of choice because it is not the most efficient one. Who cares about the president? Who is he without the govt machine?
That's that anonymous transactions are for.
If anonymous transactions are feasible, so will be the AP scheme... AP can be, in a way, characterized as a weapon because it behaves like one. And no weapon in the history of humanity remained unused.
I forwarded two large segments of the work to the list, yes. If you, or anyone else on the list, would like copies, let me know.
Theses were the first two that constitued part 1 of 4. I wondered if you posted the other parts. If so, tell me so I can get to the archives. Regards.

When the NSA ordered large workstations from a supplier they had the supplier leave them at a motel parking lot in Maryland. Many such stories exist in the intelligence community. That's standard procedure for some appropriations where the instalation location is secret and the vendor is untrusted or marginally trusted. If you have two trusted parties, and the transaction is secret then unless you have a mole or something else, who is going to say the item was sold? Leave semi-trailer in truck stop parking lot, second cab comes and picks it up and drives away. This too hard to comprehend?

All three.

No. I have an anonymous transaction with you. You feel I cheated you. Who are you going to direct the massive jaugernaut of the AP machine against? Eh?

No, and I don't believe I will be posting them. --- My preferred and soon to be permanent e-mail address:unicorn@schloss.li "In fact, had Bancroft not existed, potestas scientiae in usu est Franklin might have had to invent him." in nihilum nil posse reverti 00B9289C28DC0E55 E16D5378B81E1C96 - Finger for Current Key Information Opp. Counsel: For all your expert testimony needs: jimbell@pacifier.com
