HEY, People! Please don't just
read what I post here (or anywhere), and nod your head sagely or
approvingly and then move on to other things. I don't post in order
to affirm your sense of things. I post in order to equip you with
perspectives and arguments with which to
educate others, and in the
expectation that you will forward my posts to other people (or
direct them to those posts). PLEASE do those things.

Resources For Navigating The Current Contrived
Chaos
A few worthwhile offerings by folks whose eyes are still
open on the "C19 is a monster" nonsense, the Julian Assange assault, and
the Navalny "poisoning"; along with comments regarding a ruling last
week on the Constitutionality of Pennsylvania's "lockdown",
my day-dream TV show, and the proper replacement for Ruth Bader
Ginsburg.
FOR MONTHS I'VE BEEN PRESENTING
data and analysis debunking
the "C19 is a monster" narrative using primarily American numbers. Kit
Knightly of 'OffGuardian' has now posted a nice analysis to the
same effect using this data from the UK's Office of National Statistics:
Knightly goes on to make the great point that since flu
deaths continue to track at their average annual rate, it is clear that
"social distancing", "stay at home", masks and other "lockdown" measures
are accomplishing nothing. As he points out, the flu is a virus, too,
and it's plainly not being hindered by all the obnoxious and ruinous
despotic impositions.
See the whole article here, and then lose the mask, re-open your
business to full capacity, and launch your lawsuits against everyone
responsible for all the harm you've suffered from the hoax this year.

ALSO FROM ACROSS THE POND, David
Cullen has cranked out a concise and compelling video presentation
debunking the "C19 is a monster" nonsense using numbers from Ireland:
H/T to Greg Sutton for passing this one along.
BTW, I am not endorsing Cullen's notions as to the agenda
behind the C19 hoax. I am also not dismissing it as impossible, but I
DO dismiss it as irrelevant.
The idea that this is all an 'Agenda 21' implementation will
definitely push some folks' buttons. But that shouldn't be needed in
order get anyone up in arms. The frauds involved in the hoax, and the
assault it is directing at the rule of law are sufficient unto
themselves as reasons to oppose it strenuously.
Hence, the first half of Cullen's film, in which the
fraudulence of characterizing C19 as some extraordinarily-dire threat is
presented, is the important half. All our efforts should be devoted to
debunking the "199,207 deaths from C19" lie (as the current MSM has it)
and the idiot argument that discovering more instances of past or
present infections with this insignificant virus is meaningful or a
proper justification for dispossessing Americans of their rights and
destroying their prosperity.
AFTER ALL, LET'S REMEMBER that the premise for the "lockdown" and
acceptance of the enormous harm it has done was that C19 was hugely
worse than the seasonal flu. It is just that which has been proven
false.
As shown here
in exhaustive, fully-documented detail, the facts make clear that a huge
portion of the alleged "199,207 deaths from C19" can in no way be
reliably attributed to the virus.
Further, even if one accepts the 199,207 figure for the
sake of argument, a disease which simply contributed (at its worst) to the
deaths of elderly people already imperiled by an average of 2.6
threatening conditions
as the CDC admits to be
the case in 94% of the fatalities making up the scary big number
of allegedly C19-related deaths is in no way worse than the typical flu.
Had those poor folks contracted the flu instead of (perhaps) C19 (as was
almost certainly the case for many of them) they
would have succumbed just as readily.
Here's an example of that reality: While I was in Vermont doing a
CtC seminar in 2018,
my 90-year-old mother caught the flu at her senior living center.
Although she was in good health otherwise, it was touch and go for her
for the first several days (and then was threatening again in a
different way due to the nearly ten days in the hospital, which is very
debilitating to the elderly).
But more to the point, five other elderly residents of
Mom's facility who also caught the same flu died of it. C19 could have
done no greater harm to these poor folks, and thus is no greater threat than the flu we have
lived with for all of time without "lockdowns", "social distancing",
masks, and hysterical panic.

GLENN GREENWALD with a useful three-minute summary of why
Julian Assange is in the crosshairs of the deep state:
You shouldn't. Wolfe's orders are plainly
unconstitutional, being a devising, issuance and enforcement of laws by
the executive branch of the state, rather than the legislature. This is
forbidden, even if the legislature has purported to authorize it-- which
is an act outside the legislature's own powers. As Pennsylvania's
Constitution declares in Article II, sec. 1:
§ 1. Legislative power. The legislative power of this
Commonwealth shall be vested in a General Assembly, which shall consist
of a Senate and a House of Representatives.
So why would anyone need, or wait for, a declaration of a
judge to vindicate their own clear and unambiguous Constitution? Every
single Pennsylvanian can read the law for him- or herself, and no one
needs a court to declare what it says.
THE DEFERENCE TO COURTS being spoken of here is an
unnatural and disastrous subordination of the people to the state (of
which the courts are a part). To grasp this, just ask yourself: If the
court had ruled otherwise would that really mean that Pennsylvanians
are, and lawfully can be, ruled by the whim of their governor and must
simply make their peace with this transformation of their lives and the
law?
Or if the court had ruled otherwise, would you be-- could
you properly be-- obliged to wait for other courts to opine on the
matter, possibly over the course of years, but certainly for some time,
even if just days? All the while during which your livelihood was eroded
and perhaps permanently destroyed, and your ability to meet and plan
with others for the overcoming of the destructive impositions upon you,
either by means of the political process or otherwise was curtailed by
threat of arrest and punishment?
Perish the thought!
As Thomas Jefferson admonished us:
“To consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all
constitutional questions (is) a very dangerous doctrine indeed and one
which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy.”
...and:
"A free people claim their rights as derived from the laws
of nature, and not as the gift of their chief magistrate."
John Locke, whose political philosophy chiefly informs the
American experiment, speaks to the same subject thusly:
Any single man must judge for himself whether circumstances
warrant obedience or resistance to the commands of the civil magistrate;
we are all qualified, entitled, and morally obliged to evaluate the
conduct of our rulers. This political judgment, moreover, is not simply
or primarily a right, but like self-preservation, a duty to God. As such
it is a judgment that men cannot part with according to the God of
Nature. It is the first and foremost of our inalienable rights without
which we can preserve no other"
I salute federal district court judge William Stickman IV
for getting it right, but in this matter his opinion is- or should be--
of no more moment to the views of grown-up Americans than that of any
other citizen.
To those waiting for judicial permission to assert their
rights in other states I (and my man, Samuel Adams) say:
"Things that you treat as vulnerable to the discretions of
others have been surrendered as "rights". You have none such, and you
are not sovereigns, but subjects.
Go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor
your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains
set lightly upon you; and may posterity forget that ye were our
countrymen."
***
P.S. COMPLETELY OFF-TOPIC day-dream item: With the new TV
season beginning, wouldn't it be nice to see someone put on a show whose
protagonists are resisters to the despotic "lockdown" assaults and the
faked up "science" by which they are supported?
I'm thinking of something like a modern version of what
those my age will remember as Disney's 'Swamp Fox' series from
back in 1959 - 1961.
I guarantee such a show, if faithfully and admiringly
written, would have a huge audience. And it would do the country much
good, as well, don't you think?

P.P.S. WITH THE DEMISE LAST WEEK of Ruth Bader Ginsburg,
Donald Trump has an unexpected but welcome opportunity to partially
rectify the mistake of nominating
Brett Kavanaugh over
Amy Coney
Barrett last time around by putting Barrett up for the position now.
He should jump on it, and if that's who he forwards (and everyone should
encourage him to do so), everyone should lobby their senators hard to
confirm that nomination.
A happy exercise by which we can all get pumped up with
much-needed activism energy.
TAX AGENCY ACTIVITY IS STILL bogged-down with C19 lunacy,
and most folks are still within only eight weeks of having filed
returns. So refund issuance remains sparse, at this time.
But still, the wheels do continue to grind on, if more
slowly than usual. Thus, a few folks do have recent victories
to share, for the benefit of everyone's spirits. We'll start with...
David & Valerie Denning
DAVID AND
VALERIE SHARE THEIR fifth victory on behalf of the rule of law, all
secured within the last 15 months. This one, issued about four weeks
ago, is for 2018, from the state of California, on an amended return and
with interest added to the refund:
BRIAN ALSO SHARES A FIFTH VICTORY today. Because for many
years Brian (who is featured in
this informative video) has been able to arrange his affairs so as
to have nothing withheld from him and nothing reported about him, this
latest refund, issued two weeks ago by Ohio of everything withheld
during 2019, comes many years since Brian's previous victories, but is
all the more pleasing for the long time in between:
RYAN SHARES HIS FIRST TWO VICTORIES TODAY-- one from New
Mexico for 2015, secured in September, 2019, with a little bit of interest
reflecting a delay by the state in sending the check after
the April, 2019 filing:
...and one from the same state for 2016, interest-free due
to being promptly issued after
the April, 2020 filing
(but only after
this exchange):
(Ryan has recently received a couple of more
complete refunds from New Mexico-- including for 2019 just a few days
ago-- which will be sent along for posting soon.)
***
Brad & Sheri Edwards
BRAD AND SHERI PRESENT THEIR third and fourth victories
today, both for 2017, with the one from California having been received
not quite two years ago:
...on this
educated filing; and the other from the feds being sent out two
months ago:
...in response to
this educated filing,
made back in 2018, and subjected afterwards to a lot of IRS hemming and
hawing and dodging and weaving before this victory-in-progress notice
issued.
By way of this notice, the agency acknowledges that Brad
and Sheri had done nothing taxable and owed no "employment"-related taxes (as shown by the
agreement that the couple is entitled to the return of everything
withheld under Chapter 24 of 26 USC). But despite that admission and its
plain implications, the IRS is still attempting to hold back what was
withheld from Brad and Sheri as FICA surtaxes (a
ploy discussed here)
It must be said that as originally sent, Brad and Sheri's
4852 forms had mistakenly reported the FICA withholdings in combination
with the nominal federal income tax withheld figures on line 7e
(corrected versions are included in the filing at the link above in
order to show just what has been excluded from the refund notice). This
may be responsible in some way for this particular "victory-in-progress"
situation, although of course the tax agency was also in possession of
withholding reports from those who paid Brad and Sheri, and theirs is
not the only instance in which this ploy has been attempted, as has been
shown...
Onward and upward, either way. With the IRS having made its
key admission, and the facts being what they are, Brad and Sheri can
expect correction of the theft at some point in the future, if they
persevere.
SO, WELL DONE, David & Valerie, Brian, Ryan, and Brad &
Sheri! These great victories join those of the tens of thousands of
other awakened and activated Americans represented
here.
Each constitutes another critical step toward the restoration of
the
Founders republic and the true rule of law.
Don't you wish your victories were proudly posted, too?
BTW, DON'T YOU WISH YOUR
INSPIRING
BEING-THE-STORM VIDEO was posted, too, like David's and Brian's?
This is easy to do, and very important (plus it can get you some great

FRIENDS, THE SPORADIC BITS OF EASING of the despotic measures to
which most of the country has been subjected under the mantle of
COVID-19 mitigation should not be
allowed to bleed off the head of steam you probably had been developing.
The offenses happened, and they're far from over. Stay hot.
And while you are all warmed up, and while others, if
they're smart, are just as hot, I'd like you to send an email (and
Facebook post, or whatever) with the following content to everyone you
can (with a request that they pass it along, in turn):
[Name], since March of 2020 you've
watched as over-fed state power has been used to literally destroy
classical Western civilization and impose a new despotic paradigm. No
dissent or debate permitted-- no permission or agreement sought.
YOU KNOW where this will end up if the arrogant
state power being used to make this happen isn't radically diminished in
size, influence, resources and popular support, and exposed as an
opportunistic exploiter of legal ignorance (an ignorance which it has
been nurturing in the average mind for decades).
Those things having not yet happened, you
should be quaking in your boots-- and you probably are.
Isn't it time-- and past time-- for you to
begin helping to make those desperately-needed defensive changes take
place? There is only one way these things can happen short of a
who-knows-what we'll-end-up-with explosion of violence. I'm going to
show it to you.
When you're done with that reading, you'll know
what to do next.
BTW, REMEMBER, ALSO, THAT EVERY AMERICAN has lately been given a stark lesson in the fact
that government officials at all levels will lie to you and violate the
law without batting an eye. They will do so any time it serves their agenda, and
you don't call them out for it.
If you know anyone who has been persisting in denial on the
truth about the income tax, you know such nonsense is usually be
grounded in some version or another of, "That can't be true..." or "They
would never do something like that...". Now's the time to put a pin in
that delusional bubble.
As the C19 hoax has starkly shown, "that" certainly CAN be true, and they
certainly WOULD do something
like that.
Use this evidence in all your
outreach efforts.
"It is not the function of our Government to keep the
citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to
keep the Government from falling into error."
-United States Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson
(Deceitful efforts to discourage Americans from
learning the truth about the "income tax")
FOR ALL THE YEARS SINCE 2003 when
CtC was first published, the government has engaged in a
concerted effort to frighten people away from its truths. This
effort involves official government websites and press releases
touting an occasional court ruling that appears to be at odds
with some
CtC-revelation (but without details sufficient to expose the
real substance of the ruling)--
and sometimes even more mendacious behavior.
Are the presentations and
resources offered on this site and in my other work of any value to you?
Tim Kendrick has posted
a video
on YouTube regarding donations. I didn't know what to do about
it to begin with; I don't do what I do intending for anyone to
feel obligated in any way.
But of course, no one IS obligated. I will continue
to make my work freely-available here, and in my books for only
the cost of a cheap paperback.
Thus, even though I post it here below, Tim's very
thoughtful personal resolution and encouragement to others is
just an invitation for consideration by those who may not be
conscious of the fact that I can't do what I do without support.
No one is to feel any pressure from it; if it moves anyone to
act let it be solely because it seems right.
All-in-all, just be the sort of person for others
that you would go to yourself for trustworthy leadership.
Leadership is a challenge. But it's not
complicated, and you can do it.

Are You Having Trouble Spreading The
Word??
SKEPTICISM (SOMETIMES INVOKED BY FEAR) IS TO BE
EXPECTED when you're trying to explain to someone that
everything they've been encouraged their whole lives to
believe about something as entrenched and significant as the
income tax is basically nonsense. So here's a way to help
cut through the resistance:
Ask your listener how he or she would react if
you were to show an announcement from the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue admitting that the tax doesn't apply to the
earnings of most Americans and is misapplied most of the
time because people don't understand how it works? Or how
about if you showed a ruling from the Supreme Court saying
the same?
Now you just have to explain that
you're going to show exactly those things-- but because
the state really doesn't want people to know this, these
things haven't been said quite as forthrightly as we would
all wish. It's going to take a bit more work to take these
admissions in than is sufficient for just reading a press
release. But it'll be worth the effort...
IF YOU'RE NOT SPREADING THIS LINK with every bit of
energy you can, to school libraries, homeschool
families and community groups, your neighbors, your
family members, your pastors and
co-congregationalists, journalists, lawyers, CPAs,
members of congress, tax-agency workers, Wikipedia,
Anonymous, WikiLeaks, the Tax Foundation, everyone
in the "tax honesty" movement, the 9/11 truth
movement, other activist movements and everyone
else,
you have only yourself to blame for your
troubles with the tax, and a whole lot else of which
you might complain. It's on you.
WRITE A NICE, FRIENDLY AND BRIEF introductory note
explaining what will be seen at the link-- cryptic
is bad; excited is good-- and then send this WMI

Remember: Real Americans don't accommodate fog, lies and a sliding scale of
adherence to the rule of law. Real American men and women stand up for the
truth and the law, come what may, knowing that it is only by setting the bar
at the top and enforcing it, come what may, that liberties are secured.

Trump Regime vs. The ICC: The Wrong Side Of
"Sovereignty"
by Thomas Knapp
In June, US President Donald Trump
signed an executive order providing for sanctions against persons who “have
directly engaged in any effort by the [International Criminal Court] to
investigate, arrest, detain, or prosecute any United States personnel without
the consent of the United States.”
On September 2, The US regime
imposed such sanctions on two ICC officials: Fatou Bensouda, the
court’s chief prosecutor, and Phakiso Mochchoko, head of its
Jurisdiction, Complementarity, and Cooperation Division.”
Their offense? Investigating allegations of US
war crimes in Afghanistan.
Such investigations, says White House Press
Secretary Kayleigh McEnany, “are an attack on the rights of the American
people and threaten to infringe upon our national sovereignty.”
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo thunders that
the US regime “will not tolerate [the ICC’s] illegitimate attempts to
subject Americans to its jurisdiction.”
There certainly are questions of sovereignty
and jurisdiction here, but Pompeo and Company are on the wrong side of
those questions.
Afghanistan’s US-installed, US-allied regime
ratified the Rome Statute in 2003, thereby placing war crimes
committed on its territory, and the persons accused of committing those
crimes, under the court’s jurisdiction.
Like it or not, that assignment of jurisdiction
is an exercise of Afghan sovereignty.
THOMAS KNAPP HAS AN EASY TARGET here, and makes short work of the
simple legal issues. Trump and Pompeo are simply trying to bluster and threaten
their way out of being confined to the US or risk arrest abroad for their part
in crimes of the sort revealed by Julian Assange and WikiLeaks. Their "legal"
arguments are ridiculous.
Their legal arguments are ESPECIALLY ridiculous-- and
shamefully hypocritical-- when considered in light of the Trump
administration's strenuous effort to seize Assange and drag him to the
US for show trial in a kangaroo court in Virginia. That attempt involves
charges for acts taken by a non-American, signatory to no agreement of
duty, in foreign countries and entirely outside of US jurisdiction.
Nonetheless, the Trump administration asserts that it
can lawfully put on trial and punish anyone on whom it can successfully
lay its hands for offenses to its pride or for compromising its efforts
to keep the American people in the dark about crimes it commits in their
name, and at the cost of their blood, treasure, and future relations
with the rest of the world. Thus, the heinous effort to extradite Julian
Assange.
But heaven forbid that anybody on Earth presume to hold any
US official accountable save only US authorities themselves-- even
though such authorities have shown over the course of decades that they
will impose no accountability whatever, even for outright torture,
kidnapping, murder and aggressive war.
These people are such an embarrassment!
THE ANSWER TO THE SHAMEFUL BEHAVIOR of United States
officials is simple, even if the American People are the only ones able
to deploy it: Shrink the US Leviathan until it can no longer bestride
the Earth with criminal impunity. The alternative is to wait until the
rest of the world unites in enmity against America and either ruins us
economically or destroys us militarily.
Here is the introduction document by which anyone can learn the
critical importance, the promise and the unstoppable character of the
"shrinking Leviathan" solution.
I wish that you would at least share them with others,
even
if you cannot see why you should bother.
Let your recipient make his or her OWN mind up on whether
the sharing was worthwhile. You might end up pleasantly surprised--
people grow under the right conditions, and these are now very much the
right conditions.
EVEN AS ARDENT A STATIST as Abraham
Lincoln, in announcing his willingness to burn the Southern states to the ground in order to
keep them paying the tariff for the benefit of Northern interests in
his first inaugural address on March 4, 1861, paid at least lip
service to the Founders design of leaving control over the fuel
available to feed the fires Washington wants to light in the hands
of the individual citizenry when he said, "Doing this I deem to
be only a simple duty on my part; and I shall perform it, unless my
rightful masters, the American people, shall withhold the requisite
means..."

Do you
know someone truly steeped in the Kool-Aid?
I mean
someone who finds it easier to believe that the far-better-educated,
far-more-suspicious-of-government Americans of a hundred years ago were
complete morons who granted authority to the state to take whatever it
wished from themselves and their posterity than to imagine that they
themselves simply misunderstand the true nature of the income tax? Even
while knowing that their beliefs about the tax are derived entirely from
the representations of those who profit from those beliefs (like tax
bureaucrats and "tax professionals")?
Do you
know someone like that? Shake them awake with the latest (fifteenth)
edition of
CtC!
If
CtC were actually
right, it would mean the government's been concealing and
denying and suppressing the truth for years
on end, and everybody knows THAT would never happen...
(Edward Snowden, come home! It was all just a bad dream; there really is
No Such Agency!)
Btw, a copy of
CtC from anywhere except the link above may not
be a current edition. CHECK. It matters. Also, there ARE no
e-book, Kindle or .pdf versions of
CtC.

Some Good Perspective From The Delightfully Sardonic John Prine
Another guy who's always had his head screwed on pretty straight,
even though with a decidedly whimsical tilt.
Every victim of the "ignorance tax", 'cause it's all
just statist consent-engineering propaganda.

Hey, Gamers!
WAKEN TO THE REAL-LIFE ADVENTURE IN WHICH YOU
ARE UNKNOWINGLY IMMERSED! Put down your controller and
listen!
You are surrounded by an actual battle between
villains, monsters and true heroes, all simply concealed
from you by
sophisticated spells which also keep you from
engaging in the fight.
There are real great deeds to be done,
and real treasures to be had for your efforts, and
frankly, your real future
is at stake. You just have to gain "the sight" in order to
penetrate the illusions.

the real field of battle!

PRO TIP: If I were the IRS and I wanted to
discourage people from rebutting allegations that
they had done things I can tax, and wanted to keep them from
successfully reclaiming withheld or paid-in money, I
would salt the "tax honesty" community with
passionate-seeming "legal researchers" who would
warn anyone whose ear they captured that filing a
1040 is a bad idea for one reason or another...

Illuminating Anniversaries of this week:
September 24- In 1869, "Black Friday" occurred-- a collapse of
gold prices back to normal, after having been temporarily bid up 30% or so by
speculators who had been buying the metal up in the (mistaken) belief that the
federal government intended to redeem "greenbacks" (fiat money issued by the
Lincoln administration during the War Between the States) with real money. In
1979, CompuServe introduces "e-mail". In 2014, India successfully inserts an
exploratory spacecraft into orbit around Mars.
If you're not talking this one up everywhere and
helping generate a buzz, you don't really want liberty and the
rule of law...

In light of
the actual evidence, those
who doubt or
deny the accuracy and correctness of
CtC just because some government officials
denounce it are like the 16th-century Europeans who
were mystified by
Copernicus getting all those
astronomical predictions right even though the
church had said he was wrong.

Did you miss the 'Set Your Church Free'
commentaries?
Ignorance of the true nature of the "income" tax
has gagged, gutted and seduced-into-disgrace America's
ministerial community. This must change.

You're a
passenger on a riverboat that relies on regular
contributions of fuel from the passengers to
keep moving forward. You see an unsurvivable
waterfall ahead, and note a
soon-to-be-irresistible current growing stronger
each day. What does common sense suggest?

the Articles of Confederation, under the new name "The United States
Constitution", is delivered to the states for ratification. In 1821, Mexico

Last Word
"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude
greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We
seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that
feeds you. May your chains set lightly upon you; and may posterity forget
that ye were our countrymen."
-Samuel
Adams, Architect of the first American Revolution

Hendrickson is also a widely-read essayist on
matters of politics, public policy and law; many of these works
are collected in his second book, ‘Upholding
the Law And Other Observations’. He is a member of Mensa;
an
award-winning artist; and has paid his dues as a youth
soccer coach. He is a long-time political activist as well, and
has served as co-chair and platform convention delegate of
Michigan’s largest county Libertarian Party organization; as a
consultant to the National Right to Work Foundation and Citizens
for a Sound Economy; as a member of the Heartland Institute; and
as a member of the International Society for Individual
Liberty. He is a frequent radio-show guest on stations across
the country.
Hendrickson's business career has included nearly a
decade-and-a-half at the leading edge of the renewable-energy
industry, both as Director of Purchasing and Materials
Management and member of the R&D board at Starpak Energy
Systems, the mid-west's then-largest solar heating and
energy-recovery-and re-utilization company; and as founder and
president of AFJ Inc., a high-efficiency lighting design,
manufacture and installation firm.
Beginning in the mid-1990s and continuing for the
twelve years before his present full-time focus on the
restoration of the rule of law in America, Hendrickson directed
purchasing activities for the $84 million-a-year
multi-family-housing division of the Farmington Hills, Michigan
branch of Edward Rose and Sons, with responsibility for 18,000+
apartments, direct supervision of 35 technicians and agents, and
incidental authority over several hundred divisional workers.
He also ran the division's 10 cable television earth-station and
distribution systems in four states, and designed and
administered the company's website.
On rather the other end of the spectrum, amidst
these more mundane pursuits Hendrickson co-founded and was the
primary creative force behind a small
board- and
card-game company that enjoyed a modest success for several
years.
Hendrickson makes his home in southeast Michigan,
with his wife and two children. He is currently working on his
next book.
