A Nice $120K Victory For A Seasoned Warrior-For-The-Law After Much IRS Resistance, And Prompt Federal And State Wins For A Young First-Timer

DEDICATED TO LIBERTY AND THE RULE OF LAW, real American grown-up Dr. James _ has done some educated enforcement, just as the Founders meant for all Americans to do. Having concluded that his earnings as a doctor in private practice during 2011 didn't qualify as taxable, Jim said so in the manner provided for by law, stood his ground, and shut down a two-year IRS attempt to take more than $120K of his property in connection with that year.

The end result of the argument was an IRS admission that Jim's very considerable earnings do not qualify as "income" as that term is meant in the tax law, and he had zero tax liability for 2011.

Here is Jim's filing presenting his testimony into the record. It will be noted that Jim chose to do things a little differently than most-- the information returns he was obliged to address were 1099-MISCs, but rather than rebut them as most folks do (a few hundred versions of which can be seen at links on this page), Jim chose to use modified Forms 4852, instead (in keeping with the principles discussed here).

AS SOMETIMES HAPPENS, THE IRS decided to try to chivvy Jim back into the copper-top barn. This effort began with a 'notice of deficiency' in June of 2013 and then dragged on for nearly two years, until the agency finally admitted defeat in February of 2015.

Jim never went to "tax court", choosing instead to just let his return testimony and a clarifying statement made once the agency finally began to threaten to levy suffice. What follows is the series of threatening agency notices (interspersed with cryptic stalls where you can practically see the robotic gears clashing as its presumptive fictions encounter confidently-presented facts), Jim's calm and educated response, and the denouement in which what had become an asserted "tax due of $120,158.13 by December, 2014 collapsed to an acknowledged $0 by February of 2015.

Enjoy.

And finally:

WELL DONE, JIM!!! Both in standing, and in testifying. You are the sort of person that makes America exceptional.

But...

I TAKE A SPECIAL PLEASURE IN POSTING these next two victories for the rule of law, because the future lies with our children, and every one of those raised up with a proper respect for the law, the principles of liberty and our Constitutional structure is a blessing for all Americans and a promise of a better day ahead. These next two victories belong to a young lady who is just such a blessing and just such a promise, as I'm going to let her Dad explain:

Here is K.'s federal refund of everything withheld during 2014, as a result of this filing:

And here is K.'s Ohio refund of everything withheld, thanks to this filing (well not quite everything, since apparently Ohio "rounds down", but close...):

WAY TO GO, K (and Mark)!  You have proven yourself more grown-up and far more responsible than most of the nominal adults you know! Like Dr. Jim and all the tens of thousands of other educated and activated Americans standing up for the rule of law, you are among those who really make this a great country.

I Stand With Doreen

Doreen's address: Doreen Hendrickson 48564-039, FPC Alderson A-4, P.O. Box A, Alderson, WV 24910. She would love to hear from you.

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).

Think about it, while you still can.

SOME FOLKS HAVE ASKED FOR A RUN-DOWN on where things stand in Doreen's case right now. The answer is: In a cesspool.

Doreen is entitled to bond pending her appeal if she is able to show a few simple things, all of which are easily shown in her case. But there's a catch-- the district court judge who is responsible for engineering Doreen's conviction, and therefore whose acts are those complained of and discussed as the basis for Doreen's entitlement to bond, is the one to whom the motion must be presented. So there's rather a perverse incentive at work here, built into the system on the high-flying fictional notion that all these judges are impartial and fair respecters of the law.

Only once that judge rules can the matter than be taken over her head to her supervisors, who, while themselves not necessarily paragons of virtue, at least aren't personally-responsible for the offenses, and so might actually act impartially.

Needless to say, in the interest of justice, a motion for bond pending appeal should be ruled on before a defendant starts serving any sentence for the conviction being challenged as invalid. After all, a defendant who proves to be innocent as a result of the appeal process (or even just not validly convicted) shouldn't suffer five minutes of a sentence based on that invalid conviction.

But guess what? The judge who presided over Doreen's show trial is just sitting on the motion for bond pending appeal! Doreen is sitting in prison, and we can't take the bond pending appeal issue to the circuit court to get her out, because this judge won't issue a ruling and open the door to going over her head.

Those interested can see the Motion for Bond Pending Appeal here; the government's response here; and our reply here. (Bear in mind that this type of motion only needs to present even just one appealable issue, not all that are available, so we presented only three out of the many solid reasons Doreen should get this relief.)

OF NECESSITY, I AM ASKING FOR HELP with Doreen's legal expenses. It is my experience that when the name Hendrickson appears on the caption, courts find themselves under pressure from their clients to creatively misunderstand arguments or authorities. Thus, my requests for oral arguments in the appellate court have always been denied whenever I have handled my own cases. I am sure the same would be true for Doreen. But I believe it is harder for the courts to refuse such requests when put by a licensed attorney admitted to practice before a given court.

Partly for that reason, and partly to enjoy the benefit of his many years of experience and excellent quality of work, we have retained a lawyer I know well and deem to be an honorable man, and who is committed to working closely with me on Doreen's appeal. All his good qualities notwithstanding, though, Mark is not free, or even cheap.

Thus, I am asking all those who can and care to do so to help as much as you can. Donations can be sent to Peter Hendrickson at 232 Oriole St., Commerce Twp., Michigan 48382. Mark "legal expenses" on the memo line or an accompanying note and you'll get back a specially-made "care bracelet" bearing the message "I STAND WITH DOREEN" and an icon of an American Eagle (pictured at the beginning of this commentary), which will help you engage in conversations with others about just what is going on here, and will ultimately become a treasured remembrance of your participation in important events, as well.

I HOPE EVERYONE IS TAKING THE OPPORTUNITY to raise the consciousness of their interlocutors with the "Why?" point when discussing what's being done to Doreen. Find some words on this point here.

As always, the corrupt always go too far for their own good with their evil-- at least, too far for their own good if people like you and me make use of their excesses. Here, this can be done by helping others recognize that the degree of nakedness in defiance of the law being revealed in the assault on Doreen would only happen as a desperate effort to evade a very real threat to the vampire state-- a threat as unlike any other and as potent on behalf of liberty as the violations by the state in its efforts to evade that threat are unlike any others.

Regarding The "PATRIOT" Act...

AT THE END OF THIS MONTH, THE "PATRIOT" Act is up for expiration (in some of its more obnoxious, Constitution-destroying aspects) or renewal (of same). I think any reader of these pages knows which way I come down on this choice, so I will not waste time holding forth in that regard.

Instead, I will just offer the following photos of the Germanwing airplane crash that took place in March. The point? It's simple-- although the "PATRIOT" Act was actually written prior to 9/11, the events of that day in 2001 were the pretext for fastening this monster onto our beloved land of liberty. Thus, the truth about those events is relevant in considering the proper course vis-a-vis the Act. (Well, not really-- this dog deserves to die even if it the pretext on which it is based were as good as gold. But I'm trying to be generous here, 'cause the facts favor the good guys anyway...)

With that in mind, then, and also the amazing lack of debris at the alleged sites of 9/11 plane crashes in Virginia (at the Pentagon) and in Pennsylvania, which we were told was just how it is when high-speed crashes occur, let's look at the scene of the latest real high-speed airplane crash:

To refresh yourself on the contours of the great 9/11 false-flag fiction, click here. Then call your congressman and tell him or her to vote NO on the "PATRIOT" Act renewal.

And by the way, things like the "PATRIOT" Act are only contemplated and implemented by a state awash in far more money than is necessary for just carrying out its Constitutional duties. So:

Set Your Church Free

Ignorance of the true nature of the "income" tax has gagged, gutted and seduced-into-disgrace America's ministerial community. This must change.
