"There are two distinct classes of men...those who pay taxes and those who receive and live upon taxes."

- Thomas Paine

 

C'mon! CtC can't be right! You're crazy!

If CtC were actually right,

it would mean the government's been concealing and denying 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!)

 

 

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) edition of CtC!

Illuminating anniversaries of this week:

May 17- In 1902, the 2,000-year-old Antikythera astronomical computer is discovered.  In 1954, the United States Supreme Court unanimously acknowledges that its 1896 decision in Plessy v. Ferguson-- and numerous subsequent supporting rulings-- were bogus judicial sophistries constructed and maintained in service to the then-existing political power structure (the rulings had upheld the forcible denial of access to certain state-funded facilities by certain state citizens).  In 1973, televised hearings in the Senate on the Watergate affair begin.

Anniversaries of interest for each day of this week will be found throughout the newsletter below.

A Many-Time CtC Victor Tells His Tale, And A New Victor Shares His Evidence, As Well

DEDICATED TO LIBERTY AND THE RULE OF LAW, real American grown-up Tony Jackson has been upholding the Constitution without fail since first learning the truth about the tax several years ago. Now having enjoyed victories for nine years-- along with the defeat of a bogus levy attempt-- Tony shares his inspiring story with the world:

Hello Pete,

I have decided to try to compile my story with documentation for you to post. I think it's boring but I wanted to share it. You do of course have posted my initial CtC filing for 2010 filed on 4/15/11, the CP2000 7/16/12 and response letter 8/13/12, and last but not least the CP2005 9/4/12 stating I owed nothing and that the case is closed.

I sat on my laurels for the next couple years thinking they might leave me alone even though I had a number of years left to be filed. In Aug 2013 they sent a 688-W to my place of work seeking back taxes for the year 2002 which was now 11 years old and filed the wrong way. I had prepared for this some years ago after reading CtC as I knew this would be the last battlefront I would find myself on that they could truly hurt me on, but I was hoping it would not come to this. I was wrong.

I went through my files and your site and found the section “A Sorry, But Instructive, Little Subterfuge” and since I was not going to work for nothing I had nothing to lose by challenging my place of work on this. I constructed a letter from the information you provided there and added a thing or two that I thought should be included since I was throwing this at a totally green reader.

Most importantly I copied and pasted from the IRC the entire section 'SECTION 6331. Levy and Distraint. (a) Authority of Secretary'...As to leave it in no uncertain terms that this was not my opinion but a direct read of the code conveniently provided for my work or his lawyers to investigate on their own.

I thought I was out of a job. Much to my surprise the owner sent the affidavit I provided to the IRS. I'm sure more to cover his rear, not mine, but as it turned out, the matter simply vanished. Imagine that? He has recently commended me on my fortitude in defying them and expressed his pride in me.

As soon as I saw I was still in the IRS's sights I decided to file all remaining years I was sitting on which at the time was 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012. I did so all at once on 8/29/13. I did not want to think they would start giving me trouble with 5 years so I was a bit nervous.

On 10/7/13 I received a CP24 which stated I was due a refund of 200.00 for the year 2007, but I would not be getting it because the statute of limitations had been exceeded. I did not know what they were talking about at first until I recalled making an estimated payment for 2007 on the advice of the accountant I had do 03-06 for me. I had not asked for this, but it told me one thing....they had processed all 5 years I had just submitted as I had stated and since 2007 was the only year that had any discrepancy in math that was all I heard about. I now had 6 years of taxes successfully filed as CtC returns! This time there would be no challenge of my knowledge, as I had shot down the 1099 in my 2010 return, I had shot down the challenge of the CP2000, I had shot down the challenge of a 668-W (the true feather in my cap here).

Even after I fought off an attempt at work to steal my pay for taxes owed for 2002 they tried to get me at home for 2002 with more junk mail. I decided it was time to cut this off at the source. On 12/26/13 I filed an amended return (1040X) for 2002 and eliminated any testimony they could use to harass me further. I have heard nothing since. I shot that down too!

I've since filed 2013 and 2014 with no incident. It is fast, easy and free. Except for the certified mail I use to force feed it to them. I use a witness and a certificate of service on each return to seal the deal. That makes 9 solid years of CtC filings.

I have also helped a couple others understand their rights and assisted them in their own CtC filings. So far one has heard nothing and is preparing to file 2 more years he is sitting on. The other received the CP2000 in Feb and I assisted him in responding to that. I wanted to show to you or whoever might be interested, that they have changed the form to be much less obvious than it was in 2013. I have provided images to demonstrate.

You and your family have restored my faith in America and have shown me that standing up for ones rights is a simple as learning what they are.

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

***

REAL AMERICAN STEVE SCHALER shares his first victory today, as well. Steve was contacted by the IRS last December, who pointed out that a payer had reported on a 1099-MISC that Steve had received more than $92,000 of "income" in 2011:

Steve, who had made a couple of estimated payments back during 2011 and 2012 but had not filed a return up to that point, and had, in the interim, become CtC-educated, promptly responded with an educated return. The IRS followed the law, acknowledged that Steve had received no "income" and owed no tax:

 

...and on March 20 this year returned all of Steve's money, with interest:

WAY TO GO, STEVE!  Like Tony, 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.

"Be the change you want to see in the world."

I Stand With Doreen

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 are retaining 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, 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.

MY HEARTFELT THANKS TO EVERYONE  who has been helping get the word out to journalists. Here is the latest piece for distribution to news organizations (and my thanks to the most excellent Tim O'Brien for putting this one together). Here is the one calling for interposition by Michigan.

MY SERIOUS FRUSTRATION AND DISMAY to everyone who continues to fail to send the video testimonials I have asked you for over and over again. This is a collapse of dignity, self-respect and good sense that I am astonished to see in this community.

***

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.

***

FINALLY, FOR NOW, I HOPE EVERYONE WILL UNDERSTAND and forgive that my ability to timely respond to email is even more compromised than usual, just as is my ability to post the fresh and eclectic material I usually offer on this page. I've had much to do working on things in Doreen's case, as well as the press releases and other materials you've been seeing-- and dealing with the responses to same. Please be patient; I will get to everything I can as soon as I can.

That said, let me re-iterate my deep and most sincere appreciation to everyone who has joined me in standing with Doreen, and with the Founders. Although I am behind in my individual response to your emails and letters, please know that every note of support and every notice of what has been done to help spread the word is a huge uplift to our spirits.

As I said last edition at the risk of sounding corny as hell, you really are the wind beneath our wings.

Illuminating anniversaries of this week:

May 18- In 1302, the militia of Bruges, a city in the Flemish region of Belgium, massacre the troops of a French garrison quartered there to to prevent "smuggling" and ensure that imported wool passed through the hands of politically-connected favorites before reaching politically-UNconnected buyers in the city.  In 1631, John Winthrop becomes the first Governor of Massachusetts.  In 1917, after only 32,000 Americans had volunteered to personally support the Wilson administration's desire to get involved in Europe's "World War I", the "Selective Service Act" is passed.  Despite a complete lack of Constitutional authority (and a plain prohibition in the 13th Amendment), the act purports to authorize conscription.  Subsequently, 2,800,000 American men were impressed into the army under the auspices of the act over the following two years.  Of those sent into battle, more than 116,000 were killed, and more than 205,000 sustained wounds but are categorized as survivors.  In 1927, a Michigan school-board member who blames a school-funding property-tax increase for foreclosure proceedings against his farm explodes bombs in and near a local school, killing 45 and injuring 58.  In 1974, India conducts its first nuclear weapon test detonation.

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:

PEOPLE!! I ask each of you to take a moment RIGHT NOW and email Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras, urging them to take notice of what gets posted on these pages every week. Maybe hearing from all of the thousands upon thousands of Americans and others around the world who get these newsletters, all demanding the attention of these journalists to the same subject will bump one or both of them into waking to this hugely-important story.

Greenwald's email address is glenn.greenwald@theintercept.com

Poitras' email address is laura.poitras@theintercept.com

A Question For All The Legal Scholars Out There

HERE'S THE QUESTION, oh my legal scholar compadres: Is there ANY precedent in all of American history for a deliberately false "judicial finding" of what is [supposedly] said in a book?

Mind you, I'm not talking about a finding as to some characteristic or quality of what appears in a book, such as that what appears in a book is obscene (or not), or anything like that.

I'm talking about the government-requested "finding" by Judge Nancy Edmunds-- who has admitted to never reading the book-- that CtC argues that only federal, state and local government workers are subject to the income tax. (The government also makes the equally absurd claim that CtC argues that "wages are not income" when doing so suits its purposes, by the way, the fact that this contradicts what it asked Edmunds to "find" notwithstanding).

So, again, has this EVER happened before?

I contend that it has not; that this phenomenon, like so many associated with CtC over its 12-year history is entirely unprecedented.

Do your research, my friends. See if I'm wrong.

If I am, please tell me. If I am not, please help make sure that everyone knows about this unprecedented event and understands its implications.

Illuminating anniversaries of this week:

May 19- In 1848, Mexico ratifies the treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo, selling California, Nevada, Utah and much of the rest of the Southwest to the United States for $15 million (albeit as the loser in the Mexican-American war being concluded by the same treaty).  In 1921, the "Emergency Quota Act" is passed, restricting immigration into the United States from any country to no more than 3% of the total existing immigrant population of America of that national origin as reported in the census of 1910.  In 1922, the Soviet Union's "Young Pioneer" national youth service corps is established.  In 1962, Marilyn Monroe sings 'Happy Birthday' to JFK.

Media Evasion Of CtC Must End, Now

Time, unfortunately, is on the side of the well-funded disinformation specialists

 

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...

 The teacher asked, "Why aren't you a fan of Big Government?"
 
 TJ said, "Because I'm a libertarian."
 
 The teacher asked him why he's a libertarian.  TJ answered, "Well, my Dad's a libertarian and my Mom's a libertarian, so I'm a libertarian."

The Tyranny Of One Man's Opinion

by Andrew Napolitano

Thomas Cromwell was the principal behind-the-scenes fixer for much of the reign of King Henry VIII. He engineered the interrogations, convictions and executions of many whom Henry needed out of the way, including his two predecessors as fixer and even the king’s second wife, Queen Anne.

When Cromwell’s son, Gregory, who became sickened as he watched his father devolving from counselor to monster, learned that an executioner for the queen had been sent for from France a week before her conviction, he asked his father what the purpose of her trial was if the king had preordained the queen’s guilt and prepaid the executioner. Cromwell replied that the king needed a jury to give legitimacy to her conviction and prevent the public perception of “the tyranny of one man’s opinion.”

In America, we have a Constitution not only to prevent the perception but also to prevent the reality of the tyranny of one man’s opinion. The Constitution’s Fifth Amendment makes clear that if the government wants life, liberty or property, it cannot take it by legislation or executive command; it can do so only by due process — a fair jury trial and all its constitutional protections.

Woman Sentenced For Thwarting IRS Effort To Suborn Perjury

Liberty Crier

A Michigan woman is calling on Governor Rick Snyder to intervene and protect her from being put in a federal prison after what she calls a crudely engineered criminal conviction for her refusal to comply with unlawful orders of a federal court—orders commanding her not just that she must testify, but what she must say. According to the Department of Justice2, she "was sentenced to serve 18 months in prison."

As described in The Kentucky Free Press in November of 20131, Doreen Hendrickson was charged two years ago with criminal contempt of court for refusing to comply with DOJ- and IRS-requested orders from a federal court in 2007. The court commanded Hendrickson to amend her freely-made tax returns for 2002 and 2003 with content dictated by the tax agency, by which she would be made to declare that all her earnings for those years are subject to the income tax. She eventually did submit the amended returns, but with a declaration that she had been coerced. The DOJ told the judge that the IRS could not process her returns under those circumstances.

The judge then ordered Mrs. Hendrickson to sign the dictated-content forms declaring under oath that she personally believes what she has been ordered to say, and to conceal the fact that the words are not her own. Such orders have never been made to an American before in history, whether in regard to a tax return or any other kind of document or testimony. “This is not a tax case. This is about my right to be in charge of my own testimony, to speak my conscience, and to protect my own property interests in a legal contest, even when that contest is with my government,” Hendrickson says. “If the court can force me to amend my return, put numbers on it dictated by the IRS that I know aren’t correct, and make me hide the fact that I was coerced, then you might as well set fire to the Bill of Rights.”

Aren't you REALLY, REALLY glad YOU'VE had the fortitude and clarity of vision to do the only thing that will actually make a difference by taking control of how much of YOUR WEALTH facilitates government misbehavior?

 

Now ask yourself this: Have I really done all that I can to urge everyone I know to also stand up and act in the only way that will really bring about change in my lifetime? 

 

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..."

  IGNORANCE TAX: An unnecessary exaction suffered out of ignorance as to its lawful objects and the means of its application by someone too lazy, frightened or misled to learn how it really works and to what it really applies.  See "Income Tax", "Social Security Tax", "Medicare Tax" and "Federal Unemployment Tax".

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

About The Author

 

Pete Hendrickson is possibly the most effective lawyer in history, even while never having set foot in a law school, nor ever being a card-carrying member of "the bar". He is the first American in history to secure a complete refund of Social Security and Medicare ‘contributions’ withheld from his earnings (along with all other property taken for federal taxes); further, since 2003 students of his legal analyses and arguments in ‘Cracking the Code- The Fascinating Truth About Taxation In America’ (CtC), and its sequel, 'Was Grandpa Really a Moron?' have been routinely retaining and recovering billions of dollars which otherwise-- wrongly, but as a matter of course-- would have gone to federal or state government treasuries. This despite concerted efforts by government to suppress his work, and in some cases vigorously oppose the claims by his students.

 

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.
