Dear Madam/Sir,
This time, because of the Corona situation, I will not go to the post office and register my mail (Form 990-EZ and Schedule A) to you. To compensate for it, I will send you two copies. I also want to inform you that I did not receive from you an answer to my application for automatic extension. So, I have added copies of my application with a note when it was sent.
You asked me for an explanation of the purpose of the institute. The explanation is simple, but also seems ludicrous: I came to the USA to find a place, where (Now it comes!!!) I might offer my ideas to SAVE THE WORLD! As we can all see, I seem not to have been successful. However, this is only partially true. I was very successful personally; I never was as happy. I could also help others to be happier. I was also successful in another respect: I knew for a long time that some really bad situation would happen sooner or later.
Why? If you look at the last war—at human history in general—you cannot avoid the impression that people have “a screw loose.” That is why, in my teens, I had read through the 18 volumes of Sigmund Freud’s Collected Works. During that time, I also started to correspond with his daughter Anna. However, Freud himself did seem to be whacky, too: When his colleague Jung challenged him with a different theory, Freud fainted instead of discussing it with him. Psychology is composed of a multitude of these theories, which give radically different results for the same client. I have found a way to not use them and be very successful in helping people. When I communicated these results to BlueCross-Blue-Shield, they started sinking me financially. Why? The answer is simple: Who would need help if you could really solve the issues? Shrinks feed on the problems of others—as do some other people.
Let me become now even more personal: I am born in Germany right after World War II—and I became deeply alienated from German society, after I got to know what had happened. This was why I never went to German universities; I attended American overseas universities instead. My classmates were members of the American Army, with whom I got along fantastically. I had only one problem with some of them: They never discriminated against me and called me a Nazi. However, some of them they did not like blacks. Others were thick friends.
These positive experiences made me totally unprepared for the level of state-wise discrimination against Germans. My green card was in the category INDIVIDUAL WITH EXCEPTIONAL ABILITIES OR ADVANCED DEGREES IN THE NATIONAL INTEREST. No immigration lawyer wanted to apply for it, because it was “impossible to get.” So, I did it on my own. People, here, did not care. I and my daughter were called Nazis numerous times. I did not occur to these dummies that we could be German Jews. Americans have a long tradition of discrimination against immigrants. It more dumb than evil. But dumbness is the problem, from which the world needs to be saved. Otherwise, we will not make it.
A year before Corona struck, I sent the page CONTEXT from drkroiss.com to almost all Washington D.C, embassies of the world, between a 150 and 200 of them. Years before, I had approached all US governors and a great many heads of states of other countries. Some of them answered, but nobody listened. Some of them probably had a good laugh. They are not laughing any more.
You stay safe.

The Second Letter:
March 26, 2021
Dear Madam/Sir,
Again, I am sending you two copies of my letter to make sure that at least one reaches you. I have also added copies of my last letter, which is connected to this one.
My first issue is: My wife and I never received any stimulus checks. Why? I think that we may be invisible to you. I have included copies of our social security cards and information about our bank account.
The reason why we are invisible is connected with my institute, which seems to become invisible, too. During this tax year, I had total credits of $ 1,111.14, of which a good portion is my own money.
Why did this happen? An obvious last blow was the Corona virus. Most of my services are based on direct contact, which was impossible under the given circumstances.
A second reason is intimately connected with the quality of my services. Let me give you an example: A teacher sent me her son, who would be graduating from high-school. He wanted to apply at an engineering college, was taking an advanced-placement calculus class in high-school, which he failed dismally. He was facing the most difficult test in calculus, which was about so-called applied maxima and minima. I taught him for 4 hours. He took the test and got a score of 105. His score so far had been a 65. He did not need my services any more.
You do not make much money if you operate like that. The same is true for my mental-health services, about which I reported in my last letter. You might become confused: Mental-health and mathematics??? How does that fit together?? The common core is reasoning ability. That is what I try to hand on. This reasoning ability will improve performance in every area.
Now you would think that the school-system would have loved me as a math teacher. Not so. I taught once a math enrichment seminar. Students, who had slept for years, woke up and participated eagerly. However, one of them approached his teacher after class and said: “This guy is so much better than you.”
The school system made sure that I never got a job. They did that in a very sneaky way. They have a system, in which they enter the qualifications of job applicants, who do not have access to the system. I had given them all my official transcripts. They just entered four of my undergraduate math classes and threw all of my graduate classes, which were the bulk of them, away. This, in the eye of every principal, who looked for badly-needed math teachers, made me unqualified for any math position. I did not understand what was happening—until I found out by accident.
Blue-Cross-Blue-Shield was less sophisticated. They just shredded my bills, whether they were sent by certified mail or not.
Someone told me once: “You should sue them. You have everything documented. You have a very strong case.” I answered: “Are you joking? They have shown that they have no qualms to make minced meat out of anyone, lawyers included.”
I do not know whether I can ask you for money for the institute. I never made any money from it. We live on our retirement from Germany, for which we pay maximum taxes there—because we reside in the USA.
My daughter Doris might continue my work with the institute.
I hope you are doing fine.

The Third Letter:
September 5, 2021
Let me add to my March 26 letter. I know that I keep feeding you chunks of information in my first, second, and now third letter. But you might understand if I explain that I have lost hope to be listened to—and I am not sure whether you do.
But for the sake of completeness, let me tell you what made me finally shut down my services. I had tolerated all of the previous acts of discrimination. But then my wife of over 50 years was hit and seriously damaged by it, so that I had to take care of her:
The daughter of the vice president of a Greensboro insurance agency hit the standing car of my wife from behind and damaged it severely because “she was distracted.” The daughter calls the father. Father comes and notices that my wife is an unimportant immigrant, who in addition seems confused from the accident. He does not encourage her to call me or my daughter, does neither call an ambulance nor the police, but sends her off alone in her damaged car, from which a part hangs off dangerously into the road. My wife takes quite some time to find her way home. In the next couple of days, I noticed that she did not recognize even familiar things, forgot things on the stove, and loses her memory more and more.
After failing to find a lawyer, I file a charge at the local Federal Court, however, with very little hope. But I was tired to just turn the other cheek.
I paid the Sheriff’s office to have the summons delivered to an insurance office different from the guy’s, who treated my wife so shabbily. The sheriff’s office first reacted by summoning me with my own summons. When I refused to accept my own summons, the officer started shouting at me and threw it to my feet and left. After sending the summons back to the sheriff’s office, he did exactly what I did not want to happen: He delivered it to the guy, who had damaged my wife-- who then messed with the summons.
I informed the court of all this. It did, of course, not matter. My case was rejected.
But let me explain in very simple terms what my solution to our common problem is:
To give you a concrete historical example, I want address the case of the German Chancellor Bismarck. He was a very intelligent and realistic individual, who was for the monarchy. However, he had to continuously fight the stupidity of his monarchs. He opted for them because he thought that they were the lesser evil.
The last of these monarchs, a particularly stupid individual, fired Bismarck and brought Germany into World War I. Then came Hitler and Stalin—and World War II. This was the greater evil Bismarck had always feared—senseless destruction.
Our real problem is stupidity. I have been trying to fight my own all my life.
How did I do this?
From 1822-1833, a Prussian artillery officer wrote a series of math books to help students learn math on their own. In the first volume, you can find the following problem, which I actually first failed to solve. However, the problem is important because it shows us that we are not really seeing even familiar things—in this case our watches:
“At twelve o’clock, the minute hand covers the hour hand. Which is the next time, the minute hand covers the hour hand again?”
Try and solve it with your coworkers or some relatives or friends. If you need the answer, let me know.
To fight the impression that I am a math freak, let me give you a piece of personal information: I had the greatest math anxiety you can imagine. My relationship with math was the following: “I know I have cancer. I will take this medicine, even though it makes me very sick.” Here the cancer is stupidity, the medicine math.
Math, however, needs a lot of work to be made into a cleansing agent for our minds to remove our stupid thoughts—as much as a computer needs a cleaning and antivirus program to be working better.
I hope you are doing fine.
