No Such Agency!)
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 (fourteenth)

March 28- In 193, Roman Emperor Publius Helvius
Pertinax is assassinated by his Praetorian Guards, who then
auction the throne to the highest bidder (Senator Didius
Julianus). In 1834, the United States Senate censures President
Andrew Jackson for de-funding the Second Bank of the United
States (a central bank equipped to emit notes and extend credit,
somewhat anticipating the current Federal Reserve, and
responsible, during its 20-year existence, for a massive
real-estate price bubble and collapse). After the demise of the
bank, the United States experienced virtually zero inflation
until the Fed was instituted (with the exception of the period
during the War Between The States, when the Lincoln
administration issued its fiat "greenbacks"). In 1939, fascist
Francisco Franco takes Madrid in the Spanish Civil War. In
1979, the worst nuclear power plant accident in American history
occurs at the Three Mile Island reactor in Pennsylvania. No one
is hurt and no damage occurs.

Why The Government Gets Away With Lying
About 'Cracking the Code'
C'mon, people! You can't score the goal if you
don't take the shot...
LAST NEWSLETTER I ANNOUNCED THE POSTING OF A NEW
VIDEO titled, 'Why
The Government Lies About 'Cracking the Code''. This
video has two segments. The first consists of the testimony of a
number of readers as to what CtC actually says. This is then
contrasted with documentation of false ascriptions to the book
on the same subjects by DOJ attorneys and other government
officials, and even judges in rulings.
The second segment of the film presents testimony
by readers concerning, or reflecting, the impact CtC is having
across America (even despite the huge government effort to
suppress the book since the moment it first went to print in
2003), and showing how the information in the book re-empowers
individual Americans and imposes critically-important restraints
on the government, as intended by the Founders and the framers
of the US Constitution.
The object of the video is simple. It is meant to
encourage people who
might be reluctant to invest the time to read
even just 25 or 30 pages of text by giving them a glimpse of
why that would be a good investment.
Upon seeing that there IS an unprecedented ongoing official effort to
lie about what a book says and to discourage Americans from
reading it for themselves, and upon getting a notion of why the
government is so afraid of this book, some number of those who view the film
will be affected. Some number will then do that reading, and all
of us will be strengthened by that.
As I said at the time of posting, it's not great
videography, because I'm a rank amateur at filmmaking, with no
skills and poor tools. But it's important videography.
The sorry fact is that without YOU doing this
little bit of activism yourself, resources with the potential to
make a difference-- no matter how powerful their potential-- end up accomplishing nothing.
So the answer to the title question of this article
is, unfortunately, "Because you aren't making use of the
resources offered to you which will prevent them from getting
away with it."
As of the time of this writing, nearly two weeks
since this video was posted, it has logged only 1,085 views.
This means that not only is it not being shared out into the
larger population, but the vast majority of even those getting
my newsletter directly as subscribers-- that is to say, you--
haven't bothered to watch it.
If you're not going to bother, it won't be long
before I stop bothering; and in any event, you can be sure that
if you don't bother to introduce others to the truth, they
aren't going to be your allies or even just your sympathizers
going forward.
SO, I'M GOING TO REPEAT WHAT I POSTED LAST EDITION
about this film. Other than the 'Illuminating Anniversaries'
updates,
there will be nothing new in this edition.
Well, actually there will be one further
exception-- the Other Voices post by Jeffrey Tucker
titled, 'It Shouldn't Matter Who The President Is'.
I'd like you to read that commentary, and then read the article
that follows it and all the bold text after that. Then
come back here and share, share, share that new video, as I ask
you to below:
Why Does The Government Lie About
'Cracking the Code'?
THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION is the key to the
restoration of the republic and the rule of law in America. See
it below.
PLEASE be a real activist
about sending this link to every single person in your address book, and
about sharing it through facebook, reddit, twitter, and
any other distribution channel with which you are
familiar. Send it to every journalist you can. It's time to really make something happen.
Accompany your emails and posts with with a strong
admonishment to watch the film through, and that doing so will
show the viewer an individual-empowering, state-restraining
truth about the income tax which the government has been trying
to keep hidden from view for 75 years and which that person
really needs to know.
BY THE WAY, as is impossible to miss, I have
neither the skills nor the tools to make even moderately good
films. This is simply not my forte. Anyone able to do better is
encouraged to talk to me about that.
As is ALSO impossible to miss, though-- even in my
amateur production-- reader video testimonials have GREAT POWER.
Send me yours.
UPSTANDING COLORADAN Brian Crabb proudly shares a
new victory on behalf of the rule of law concerning the
Centennial State. On January 26, and in response to
this claim,
Brian received a complete refund of every penny withheld from
him and given over to Colorado against the possibility of him
owing a tax on his gains during 2014.
Here is Brian's refund notice, crediting the entire
amount withheld to an outstanding balance he owed in another
matter (and in regard to which Brian says,
"I owe back child support from back in 2006 so they sent the
money to my son which is fine by me. Better he has it than
them."):
Another real American shares the liberating truth,
and some serious inspiration
YOU WILL HAVE NOTED JEREMY'S ANNOUNCEMENT IN THIS
VIDEO of his multiple victories thus far. These include IRS
acknowledgements of zero income and zero tax liability for four
years now, as well as complete refunds of everything withheld
from Jeremy and given over to Georgia during two years in
connection with the income tax.
Here is Jeremy's complete refund from Georgia of
everything withheld from him during 2011, plus interest, which
was issued on January 22:
Here is the filing that produced this victory in enforcing
the rule of law-- that is, in enforcing the actual
Constitutional provisions controlling the ability of the federal
government to assert and collect unapportioned taxes (and that
of state governments acting under federal permission to lay
claim to a portion of the same things the feds tax as "income").
Jeremy's complete refund of everything withheld
from him and turned over to Georgia during 2013, plus interest,
which was issued on December 11, 2015, can be seen below:
The filing which produced this victory for the rule
of law can be seen
here.
It will have been noted that Jeremy included an IRS
transcript for each year involved in
his Georgia filings. Both showed the IRS's own calculations and
conclusions that Jeremy had received no "income" for those years
and had no tax liability, after having examined his federal
filings for those years.
Transcripts showing the same
conclusions concerning Jeremy's examined filings for 2012 and
2014 can be seen
here and
here. The federal filings involved in all of these years can
be seen as follows:
2011,
2012,
2013 and
2014.
Jeremy is still waiting for the return of what was
withheld and given to the feds for three of these years, but the
United States has already made its admissions/acknowledgements,
so in due course those checks should arrive.
HATS OFF to Jeremy Lee, a real American and a real
man, who rises to the animating contest for freedom and rejects
the "tranquility" of servitude. Jeremy joins
the ever-greater host of grown-up Americans who have stood,
acted and shared. I love the smell of righteous
courage in the morning!
P.S. Speaking of real Americans and rising to warrior-work: C'mon,
people! Get those Operation Uki Goshi videos into me!!!
P.P.S. The "misunderstandings" page to which Jeremy refers in his
video can be found

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.

The IRS and SSA Share A Nice
Institutional Acknowledgement Of CtC
It's always gratifying when these agencies just
come right out and admit the truth...
OVER THE 12+ YEARS SINCE
CtC REVEALED the liberating truth about the income tax,
government agencies have steadily issued acknowledgements of
that truth to the real American men and women who have applied
those revelations and upheld the true rule of law. These
acknowledgements most commonly take the form of
complete refunds of every penny taken from someone under the
auspices of the tax.
But sometimes other forms of acknowledgement are
presented. Today we're going to look at one of these more
unusual varieties, an example of which was recently sent to one
of those real Americans who are standing up to enforce the
Constitution.
THE GOOD FELLOW WHO RECEIVED the unusual
acknowledgement at which we're about to look is an accomplished
upholder of the law. He has three proudly-posted victories to
his credit so far since learning the truth about the tax a few
years ago, successfully overcoming false assertions that his
earnings were subject to the income tax, and recovering
everything withheld from him in connection with that tax during
each of those three years.
But for today, this gentleman's name is going to go
unmentioned, because despite the IRS having faced the truth
concerning his earnings for each of those other years (after
subjecting each claim to the agency's routine rigorous scrutiny),
for some reason the IRS employee that began to process this
man's 2012 filing has been dragging his or her feet. A lawsuit
is in progress, and what we're going to look at is relevant to
that. Our friend doesn't want to show his hand too soon.
So, there is no name to show until this contest is
over. But the chink in the tax agency's stonewall that was
revealed a few weeks ago will be of great interest to all
nonetheless.
WITHOUT ANY PROMPTING, and to our hero's
considerable surprise, out of the blue and into the mailbox came
a notice from the Social Security Administration announcing the
IRS acknowledgment that our hero's earnings as a contractor in
2012 don't qualify as IRC-defined "self-employment income" (the
kind of contractor pay that is subject to the tax). Our hero's
educated rebuttal of the contrary "1099-MISC" assertions of his
payer, on which the tax agency had been mindlessly relying, has
prevailed.
This kind of inter-agency acknowledgement happens
constantly. But for the filer to get notice of it is rare.
The SSA's accounting of taxable earnings
used to calculate any benefits for which our friend might someday
want to apply has been reduced accordingly, of course. But even
if the gentleman hasn't already accumulated the maximum credit
(as many folks of a certain age have done long since, over years
of suffering the misapplication of the tax prior to learning the
truth) I don't think he minds...
Here's the notice:
Isn't it nice when these bureaucrats finally give
up on lying and stonewalling and just do the right thing?
Frankly, I'm as happy for the one that found the right path to
walk here as I am for our hero.

True American Joe Black Testifies And Shares Victories For
Liberty And The Rule Of Law
...as every American
should...
EDUCATED AMERICAN GROWN-UP JOE BLACK has
stood up and acted to enforce the law upon its domestic
enemies-- or, at least, upon agencies of the state whose
operators seem to happily exploit ignorance and mis-apply the
law at every chance for their personal benefit.

of
CtC), click
here.
You, like most folks, have been fooled into inadvertently
agreeing that your economic activities are exercises of
privilege, thereby allowing the tax to be applied to your
earnings. Why is this so hard for you to admit?
I GUESS THESE ACTUALLY LEAD TO A THIRD SIMPLE QUESTION: If you
really feel that all these things of which you complain are so
bad, why are you not helping more Americans understand the
nature of the tax and the ill effects of it being misunderstood
and misapplied?
Learn how and why you should ask every journalist in the
so-called "alt-media" these questions
here.
PRO TIP: By the
physics of the law, an indirect tax is necessarily a
privilege tax. Here's why:
The distinction between a
direct tax and an indirect tax is incidence. A
direct tax arises by the direct imposition of the
taxer, without any election of the taxed (other than
that of authorizing the taxing power in the first
place).
An
indirect tax arises by the taxed
choosing to to do
something by which the taxer's claim is then
created. The choice that is a valid object of an
indirect tax can't be anything done as an exercise
of an untaxable right. Nor can it be any activity of
necessity. A tax on anything done by necessity would
arise not by actual election of the taxed but simply
because the tax had been imposed by the taxer. Such
a tax, whatever it may be called, would be in actual
substance a direct tax, even if one that arose only
intermittently. Think of a tax on eating, for
example, or working, or engaging in trade with
others (all of which are things done by right as
well as by necessity, but you get the point).
What is left as the
valid object of an indirect tax is the exercise of
privilege-- something done not by right, and
therefore done by the permission of the taxer (who,
due to being possessed of an ownership right in the
thing being permitted, is entitled to claim of
portion of the proceeds when the thing is profitably
used).
"[Although the Legislature
may declare as privileges and tax as such for State
revenue purposes those pursuits and occupations that
are not matters of common right], the Legislature
has no power to declare as a privilege and tax for
revenue purposes occupations that are of common
right."
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...
PRO TIP: The
argument that a concept explicitly given a statutory
definition for purposes of this or that chapter or
"title" has the same meaning as the common word the
legislature has borrowed for its label-- which
meaning plainly didn't suit the legislature's
purposes, hence its replacement-- is a preposterous
reading of the law.
“It is axiomatic that the
statutory definition of the term excludes unstated
meanings of that term.”
Meese v. Keene, 481
U.S. 465 (1987);
“[W]e are not at liberty to
put our gloss on the definition that Congress
provided by looking to the generally accepted
meaning of the defined term.”
Tenn. Prot. & Advocacy Inc. v. Wells,
371 F.3d 342 (6th Cir. 2004).
Illuminating anniversaries of this week:
March 30- In 1842,
anesthesia is used for the first time in a surgical operation.
In 1858, a pencil with an attached eraser is patented. In 1867,
the United States buys Alaska from Russia for 2 cents per acre.
(Of course, 2 cents was worth a good deal more then than it is
now...) In 1909, the Queensboro Bridge between Manhattan and
Queens opens for traffic. In 1939, the Heinkel HE 100 sets a
world airspeed record of 463 mph. In 1981, Ronald Reagan is
shot by John Hinkley.
In light of
the actual evidence, those
who doubt or
deny the accuracy and correctness of
CtC just
because government officials make weaselly
representations against 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.

DO YOU NOTICE THAT MESSAGE ON THE T-SHIRT being
worn by the lovely model of the 'I Stand with Doreen'
care-bracelet? It reads, THINK. It's not illegal yet!
But you know what? The charge against Doreen is an
effort by the state to make it so.
Doreen was charged, remember, with
criminally-refusing to cede control of her expressions to the
state. Now, I'll grant you that technically her thoughts would
remain her own, but if the state can dictate what everyone says,
then pretty soon that atmosphere of controlled expressions will
result in first influencing, and then ultimately controlling
what everyone thinks.
If the State gets away with establishing the
precedent that every written expression-- even just those on
testimonial instruments-- can be required to echo the state's
preferred view of things, the fate of free thinking and liberty
is obvious (and it's not good).
March 31- In 1774,
Great Britain orders the port of Boston closed in response to
the Boston Tea Party. In 1889, the Eiffel Tower is
inaugurated. In 1917, the United States buys the Danish West
Indies for $25 million and renames them the United States Virgin
Islands. In 1918, Daylight Saving Time debuts. In 1933, the
FDR's Civilian Conservation Corps boondoggle is established as a
measure to relieve unemployment brought about by the
Fed-generated economic collapse known as the Great Depression.
It fails miserably. Programs of this very sort interfered with
the economic correction necessary to end the depression and
merely prolonged the calamity, leaving the unemployment rate
largely unchanged (it remained as high as 15% in 1937 while the
boondoggle make-work jobs continued, and jumped back up to 19%
in 1938 when some of the artificial "New Deal" props like the
CCC program were cut back), but adding greatly to the size and
lawlessness of the State. In 1951, the first UNIVAC 1 is
delivered to the United States Census Bureau. In 1968,
President Lyndon Johnson announces that he will not run for
re-election.

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...

Test Your
"Income" Tax IQ!

to test your knowledge of the law regarding the United States
"income" tax. Test yourself, test your friends and family!
Test your accountant and tax attorney, and help them learn the
liberating truth!!
Freedom lovers everywhere are biting their nails during
the election season, wondering how the damage can be limited.
Depending on who gains control, we could have trade wars,
nationalized health care, the pillaging of Wall Street and Main
Street, more wars in the Middle East, a VAT tax, surveillance of
your smartphone, mass deportations, internment camps, and worse.
Read that sentence slowly in a deep voice and it sounds
like the trailer to a dystopian film.
Another Way
Let’s take a step back and ask whether it has to be
this way. What if the power of government were so limited that it
didn’t matter who occupied the White House? Wouldn't that be a vast
improvement?
Let’s say that Rutherford B. Hayes, who was president
from 1877 to 1881, had been revealed to be a fascist demagogue and
bearded would-be dictator. Maybe the same could be said of
Presidents Chester A. Arthur (1881-1885), James Garfield (1881), or
Benjamin Harrison (1889–1893). Let’s say they were all crazy
authoritarians who longed to rule the country as a private fiefdom.
Would it really matter? Probably not.
These were not the presidents who “made history,” and
good for them. Hardly anyone remembers them, which is to their
credit. They are usually listed among the “worst” presidents, which
is to say they didn’t cause giant upheavals. They inhabited the
office at a time when the private sector was growing at incredible
rates while the government was playing a relatively diminished role.
So ask yourself this: Have you really done
all that you can to
urge everyone
you
know to also stand up and act in the only way that will really
bring about change in your lifetime?
Why don't you start now?
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..."

his book(s). He has, brilliantly and lucidly, "cracked the
code" regarding the federal income EXCISE tax(es)."
-Mark C. Phillips, JD
"...I find your work fascinatingly simple to understand."
-Jerry Arnowitz, JD
"Your book is a masterpiece!"
-Michael Carver, JD
"Received your book yesterday. Started reading at 11
PM, finished at 4 AM." "I have 16 feet (literally 16'
4.5") of documents supporting just about everything in your
book." "Your book should be required reading for every lawyer
before being admitted to any Bar." "I hope you sell a
million of them."
-John O'Neil Green, JD
“Thanks again for your efforts, Pete. They mean an awful lot
to a lot of people.” “…as an attorney, I am humbled by your
knowledge and ability in navigating the law. THANK YOU for
your hard work and sacrifice.”
-Eric Smithers, JD
"I am an attorney and want to give a testimonial to your
book, which I find to be compelling. I am exercising these
rights for myself and my adult children. I'm even considering
making this my new avenue of law practice."
-Nancy "Ana" Garner, JD
Learn what these colleagues already know, then step forward and
become part of a coordinated, mutually-supportive squadron
focused on developing strategy and deploying the law in
courtrooms across the country. There's a lot of suing that
needs doing right now.

The Willingness Of Some People To Trade Liberty For
Convenience Is Without Limit
Some Observations About Current Political Efforts
To Evade The Truth, Such As The "Fair Tax" Scheme
Warrior David

"Depositors have "..not lost one penny.." - OK we could agree on that simple
statement ..how about the purchasing power of
that same penny 'not lost'?"
April 3- In 1860, the Pony Express begins
service, from Saint Joseph Missouri to Sacramento, California.
In 1865, Union forces capture Richmond, Virginia. In 1882,
Jesse James is killed by Robert Ford. In 1917, V. I. Lenin
arrives in Russia to take charge of the revolution after years
in exile. In 1922, Joseph Stalin becomes General Secretary of
the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. In 1936, Bruno
Hauptman is executed for the kidnap and murder of Charles
Lindbergh's son. In 1968, Martin Luther King, Jr. delivers his,
"I have been to the mountaintop," speech. In 1973, the first
wireless cell-phone call is made. In 1974, 148 tornadoes strike
across the USA and in Ontario, Canada over 24 hours-- the
largest such outbreak ever recorded. In 1986, IBM unveils its
first laptop computer. In 1996, a plane carrying US Secretary
of Commerce Ron Brown strikes a mountain in Croatia, leaving no
survivors. In 2000, Microsoft is the victim of an "antitrust
lawsuit" ruling by a federal court, which effectively declares
the company to be "too big to succeed". Microsoft had been
notable prior to this time for its disengagement from contact
with or pandering to the political class.
"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.
