The News Current Events and Continuing Education for March 5 through March 18, 2018 “Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.” -James Madison
"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 (fifteenth) edition of CtC!

Fear nothing but God *** It's Official: Year 15 Of CtC's 'Liberate America' Project Is Well Underway! ...and off to a great start with a flurry of refunds, and a few telling dodges! I HADN'T MEANT TO POST MORE VICTORIES TODAY, having just done a big batch last Monday. But by interesting coincidence, right after I had finished preparing those Mid-Edition Update posts I suddenly heard from a bunch of people all happily announcing new and very recent victories. The key common feature of these newly-announced victories (for my purposes now, anyway) is that they all issued forth during the eight weeks since January 1st-- that is, all in young 2018. These victories are, therefore, the first that mark the 15th year of CtC liberating Americans from the scourge of the viciously-exploited "ignorance tax"! Here's a selection to enjoy, celebrate and applaud: Derek (whose excellent video on CtC has helped introduce many people to this community) shares a fine victory with the feds, securing, on February 9, the return of everything withheld from him and given into Uncle Sam's keeping during 2016:
Notably, all but $180 of this refund consists of FICA surtax withholdings, as can be seen in Derek's filing here. FICA withholdings are the kind never refunded to anyone in history before CtC revealed their true nature and the government's legal obligations. They're also a kind the IRS still sporadically tries to pretend are un-reclaimable, in the apparent hope that we're all incapable of logical reasoning and reading the law. In fact, Derek's filing was initially greeted with a ridiculous stumbling-block effort by the IRS over the amounts being reclaimed. But the well-educated and articulate Mr. Cushman slapped that pretense down quickly and decisively, with his complete refund then following without further fuss. WELL DONE, DEREK! *** Matthew received a "Welcome, 2018"! victory in enforcing the tax laws with the feds on February 9:
This victory issued without any fuss, and guess what? The refund is nothing but FICA withholdings, as can be seen from Matthew's filing. WELL DONE, MATTHEW! *** Shaun Davis shares a victory in securing the return of everything withheld from him by the feds during 2015 by way of an amended return-- a two-part victory completed on February 19:
...after being begun on February 12:
Together, these two refunds amount to the total of Shaun's claim, which was made on this 1040X correcting an "ignorance tax" return submitted prior to Shaun having become CtC-educated. There was no fussing about Shaun's claim, but interestingly, his acknowledged 2015 "overpayment" was diverted to an alleged balance due for 2014-- a year for which Shaun also filed an amended return, but one which has not yet been processed. See this notice and this notice. WELL DONE, SHAUN! *** SO, 2018-- OFF TO A GOOD START on one front, at least! It is now the 15th year of history-making revelations about the law and reluctant but unambiguous admissions of their correctness by tax agencies across the land-- probably well over 250,000 of them at this point. On the other hand, still not a single word about any of this mind-boggling, hugely-significant 15-year history in any meaningfully-sized journal. Nor a single word in any meaningfully-sized journal about the horrendous injustice of my Doreen being locked away for refusing to say what every one of these quarter-million government admissions agree is a lie. I feel like banging my head against a wall-- or, closer to the mark, as though that's what I HAVE been doing. DOESN'T ANYONE reading these words know ANYONE in the media? Even just an on-air radio DJ or a high-traffic blogger or a reporter for a local newspaper? Tell those people the CtC story and don't leave them alone until they understand it and recognize its importance. Use this or this or this, or any other resources on this site. I don't know what it would take to make a snowball start rolling-- I'm not a PR person. But someone who IS talented in that way could surely make "viral" happen with the astonishing, unprecedented and universal-interest 15-year story of CtC and its liberating revelations. Where, oh where, is that person??!! AH, WELL. In the meantime, this community must press on doing retail what should be done wholesale. At least that's an easy task. HERE IS HOW THE SCHEME WORKS, IN 8 PAGES. HERE IS HOW TO OVERCOME THE SCHEME AND ENFORCE THE LAW, IN 256 PAGES. Share these all, everywhere you can. Be your most creative self in sending and "selling" these links. Do memes; make gifs; respond to everything in the news that would be or have been better had the state been small, or if Americans kept their money for their own uses. If you pay attention to the news and train yourself to apply these perspectives, you will see a dozen things of which you can make use in awakening other Americans to the virtues of having the income tax correctly administered. Please, for my sake, for your own sake, for the sake of your children and their future, make that use.
BTW, Derek's and Matthew's and Shaun's victories join those of the tens of thousands of other awakened and activated Americans represented here, and constitute more critical steps toward the restoration of the Founders republic and the true rule of law. Don't you wish your victories were proudly posted, too? It's easy. Stand up on behalf of the law, and then share the evidence. That's all there is to it!

The Irwin Effect A good man has inadvertently left a problematic legacy. I HAD AN EPIPHANY RECENTLY concerning the trouble we all have trying to open certain eyes to the truths about the income tax. My own eye-opening came after corresponding with a long-time "tax honesty" guy who exhibited what I am dubbing the "Irwin Effect"-- a strong influence on his perceptions of income-tax-related matters by virtue of exposure to Irwin Schiff and his story. Though it's easy to forget as time goes on, Irwin's "heyday" was the real deal. Schiff appeared as early as 1978 on NBC's 'The Tomorrow Show' with Tom Snyder, conducted seminars all over the country for years, was a C-Span-covered candidate for the Libertarian Party presidential nomination in 1996 and was featured in Aaron Russo's very widely-seen 'Freedom to Fascism'. As recently as 2005, Irwin had the ear of very large audiences on shows like George Noory's 'Coast to Coast'. Irwin Schiff had a message many, many people found very compelling, and the support of a very large and very devoted army of followers, who magnified the effect of his individual efforts exponentially. He influenced the perceptions of a lot of Americans regarding the income tax. UNFORTUNATELY, IRWIN'S MESSAGE was wrong-- well, partly wrong, anyway. The overall message of "Irwin Schiff, the phenomenon" was entirely wrong. Here's what Irwin got right: The income tax is systematically misapplied. In popularizing that perspective, Irwin did a very good thing. Many, many people-- including me-- were encouraged to look closely at something that the government does not want closely scrutinized. But that was about it. Irwin Schiff didn't really understand the tax. For instance, Irwin didn't understand the scope of the tax and the true nature of its objects. While he recognized it as an excise he didn't really grasp all the implications of that fact. Irwin had no idea about the real legal character of FICA taxes; nor that today's tax remains the same one first imposed in 1862. Nor did Irwin have any idea of the meaning of "capitation" and its significance in qualifying the income tax and its limits. Most significantly, perhaps (at least from a practical standpoint), Irwin did not understand the legal dynamics of the tax-- especially the role played by "information returns". He suffered from many other misunderstandings and faulty conclusions, as well. I SAY ALL THESE THINGS with respect and affection. Irwin Schiff did the best he could with limited resources-- most particularly the limitations imposed on everyone during his research period for lack of digitalized data that could be accessed and processed with computer power. But forgivable as Irwin's mistakes may be, the real issue today is that a huge number of people arrived at key perceptions of the income tax by paths carved through the prior cognitive wilderness by Irwin Schiff. SOME OF THESE "IRWIN EFFECT" folks came to believe that Irwin knew what he was talking about. These folks ended up with an enervating conclusion that "you can't fight City Hall, no matter how right you are" after seeing nothing practical come of all his efforts (a mere handful of refunds allegedly secured by followers over all those years but with no details provided and never even an argument on behalf of reclaiming erroneously withheld FICA surtaxes) and Irwin end his days in prison. These folks won't listen to anything critiquing or conflicting with Irwin's teachings, and at the same time are largely sidelined. Many settled into the disastrous practice every tax agency loves to see: "non-filing". THOSE IN RANGE OF THE "IRWIN EFFECT" who didn't come to believe Irwin knew what he was talking about fell into a different cognitive trap. Even though not believing Irwin right these folks nonetheless saw him as a serious, capable and dedicated researcher. These folks were fully correct on the first and third of these assignments of character, and forgivably wrong on the second. Irwin was very articulate, always had some authorities to cite on behalf of his assertions, and was so self-confident as to radiate scorn of any failure to accept whatever he declared true. He appeared capable, to anyone who hadn't themselves done research into the same subject areas. The take-away for these folks, therefore, is that there is nothing to be found in parsing through the tax code. Surely (goes this latter line of thought), if there had been a big "Gotcha!" to be found in regard to the income tax Irwin Schiff would have found it. That he did not means that "it" isn't there at all. To those in this second "Irwin Effect" group, anyone who says that there is a "Gotcha!" to be found regarding the income tax must be incompetent or a charlatan. Paying attention to anything presented by such persons, they conclude, would be a waste of time. SO, I'M SURE YOU ALL SEE THE PROBLEM. Irwin Schiff had such a heyday that a very large number of Americans-- those over the age of forty, especially-- are subject to the "Irwin Effect" in one of the two versions outlined above. Those in the group that concluded Irwin was capable, dedicated and wrong are thoroughly represented in journalism, the legal profession and the academy. Consequently, in trying to garner the respectful or even just indifferent attention of anyone in this latter group-- even to just look at the evidence distinguishing CtC from the work of Irwin Schiff or anyone else in the tax honesty movement-- one has this big, well-entrenched mental speedbump to overcome. It can be a slog. Thus, this observation, under the theory that forewarned is forearmed. Maybe these insights will allow everyone more success in outreach to Irwin Effect-afflicted media figures and professionals. Maybe, too they will help in efforts to wake up some of that vast army of non-filers out there. *** AS NOTED ALREADY, IT SHOULD BE UNDERSTOOD that everything I have said that is critical of Irwin Schiff's conclusions in the piece above is said reluctantly, and with no disrespect intended for Irwin Schiff, the man. I thought very highly of Irwin Schiff, and hold his memory in high esteem. As I said, Irwin influenced me in my early research into the tax beginning in the 1980s. I bought and read all of his books. In fact, in the early editions of CtC I included a very sincerely-meant "acknowledgements" reference to Irwin (and to a couple other folks also in the "tax honesty" movement whose efforts I have appreciated). I reluctantly removed that reference in later editions upon discovery that some folks weren't bothering to read the book due to imagining it to be just warmed-over Schiff propositions. These folks then actually discouraged others from reading CtC, by telling them what they thought the book must say.

Those wishing to be free of the hindrances presented by that fundamental legal instrument have succeeded in infecting major portions of the American intelligentsia with such thorough disinformation concerning the Constitution's origins, purposes and principles as to prompt constant articles against it. Many of these screeds, I'm sorry to say, are even churned out by otherwise fairly sound-thinking libertarians. (Some sects of libertarianism seem especially vulnerable to anti-Constitutional propaganda due to pipe-dream delusions about anarchic utopias). We in the grown-up community must stay alert to these erosions of something so important as the written fundamental law. Here is an effort at raising the alarm and passing out some intellectual ammunition against the enemies of the law.

The craziness of the neo-con nutcases in Washington is starting to generate its predictable blowback, but on a much more dangerous scale than in the recent past. Based on relentless hostile rhetoric and steady efforts at military encirclement the Russian Federation Armed Forces Command has concluded that the United States intends to launch a pre-emptive nuclear attack on Russia. While this perception continues to be fed, the risk of a prophylactic Russian first strike exists and grows more perilous. The persistent, recently-escalated, plainly unfounded and deliberately provocative saber-rattling against Iran-- a long-time close ally and buffer-state of Russia's, the destabilization or regime-change within which would be another substantial threat factor-- has magnified the intensity of the peril. So, more than ever...
What You Need To Know If CtC Doesn't Spread Like Wildfire RIGHT NOW So The Nut-Cases Can Be Stripped Of Their Resources: NOT THAT "DUCK AND COVER" would do you or your kids any good, of course... The Russian Federation has 7,400 nuclear warheads and the means to deliver them. China is coming on strong, too, these days. Perhaps you imagine the US has some magical technological advantage that will protect us when all the nut-case bellicosity leads to its inevitable outcome? Read this, this, this, this and this. And in any event, don't forget the inescapable issue of nuclear winter and fallout-- the world-killing harm from either of which doesn't require even a single Russian or Chinese warhead to hit a target.

A Call To Action Or Two Nothing happens if you do nothing.
THE VIDEO OF MY JULY 16 PRESENTATION on judicial fraud to conceal the true legal character of the income tax is posted here. Everyone should see it and share it like crazy.* It is hugely powerful and WILL successfully educate even the most stubbornly skeptical and disengaged. Video of the Q&A session that followed that presentation can be seen here; this is also a "must see". *Here's a sample formulation for sharing: The American people have been victimized by massive and sustained corruption in the federal judiciary in order to fuel the ambitions of the Deep State. See the incontrovertible evidence at https://youtu.be/105GKdmJ9HU. This enormous harm can be remedied, but the path to that solution begins with widespread awareness of the problem. Please watch the film yourself, and please pass this wake-up call along as widely and urgently as possible. If you have a serious-minded group that you think will benefit from an in-person presentation on this long-running assault on the rule of law in America, contact me. Further... A call to action CLEARLY, THE MERE AIRING OF THE JUDICIAL AND EXECUTIVE CRIMES revealed in the presentation discussed above is not enough. What is revealed here is a vicious widespread plot to destroy our Constitutional republic. It can be stopped, and it must be stopped, and all culpable parties-- who have each and every one grossly betrayed and defiled the trust and honor the people of America have bestowed upon them-- should be harshly punished. Therefore... I call on every law-respecting journalist to raise the hue and cry about these outrages. I urge every American reading these words to join me in demanding action. Append this article or this video (or both) to an introductory note and a demand for action, and mail it to Jeff Sessions, Paul Ryan, your federal and state congressional delegations and to every journalist possible. This will ensure that these folks will be made aware of this matter, and cannot say otherwise as an excuse for inaction. Click on the name below for contact info: Journalists (this is a short list-- you may know or have access to more; send to all of them) Your mom, your dad, your sibs, your best friend, the guys and gals at the office or the plant, etc.-- you have these addresses or must find them on your own. ALSO!!! Send to law school faculty!!! Find schools, faculty names and contact info however you can and send! Send to every lawyer you can find. Understand, if YOU haven't shared this film with any given judge, prosecutor or attorney, he or she will not have ever seen any of the information presented. He or she will not only know nothing of the truth about the tax, but will believe the untruths about the tax which the falsifying officials exposed in the film (and in the text treatments of the same material here and here) have been peddling on behalf of the "ignorance tax" scheme. Don't make the mistake of imagining that "they all know the truth, and are part of a giant conspiracy against it." This is not true. Most of those folks have never seen even a single one of the authorities you have seen in these presentations. They never knew there was a reason to look for them. Certainly none of them have ever seen this material knowledgeably assembled and presented. YOU have to show it to them. If you haven't done so, assume that no one has. “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” – Martin Luther King Jr.

****** On Criminal Complaints For Filing False IRs Getting practical on a core element of the "ignorance tax" scheme.
"A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves." -Edward R. Murrow
What Is Paid For By The "Ignorance Tax" LOTS of very bad things... The U.S. Income Tax: An Excise On The Profitable Exploitation Of Federal Privilege The U.S. Ignorance Tax: The Profitable Exploitation of Confusion About The Income Tax I WAS IN A GROUP THE OTHER DAY in which I overheard, "The income tax just goes to pay the interest on the national debt!" Would that it were so... The statement is a long-standing misconstruction of something said by Peter Grace of the Reagan-era Grace Commission, which had been tasked with an analysis of the federal budget. Grace attempted to illustrate the significance of the federal debt burden by pointing out that the interest paid on that monstrous debt was so much as to more-or-less match the amount taken in by the income tax-- an amount that is a metaphorical synonym for "huge". Money, of course, is fungible, so even if the tax take were earmarked for the interest payment, that would simply free up other funds for other uses. Thus, the "earmarking " concept is illusory at best. Income tax revenue gets spent for any and all government purposes, just as is true of every other dime that goes into the general fund. Further, Grace undervalued the income tax dramatically. This is because Grace didn't understand that FICA (Social security and Medicare) taxes are just income "surtaxes"-- meaning income taxes like any others, despite the misleading application-specific label of "employment taxes". As a result of this misunderstanding Grace failed to factor this additional enormous amount into his casual analogy. The reality is that the income tax take-- by which we really mean the "ignorance tax" take, since we're talking about the amount captured by government through exploitation of ignorance about what is really subject to the income tax under the law-- is many times the amount paid in interest on the national debt. Last year, for instance, the interest payment was about $432 billion. The ignorance tax total was a whopping $3.9 trillion. MY POINT HERE IS NOT TO CRITIQUE THE GRACE REPORT, however. I'm only interested in stopping its mistakes from being repeated and persisting as a false "factoid". The reason I'm concerned is that the throw-off, "It just goes to pay the interest on the national debt..." line, though not meant as, or in support of, anything but a disparagement of the tax, actually serves to minimize or conceal the horrendous evil for which the tax really does pay. Lets look at a small sampling of the things made possible by the ignorance tax:
NOW LET'S LOOK at what preservation of the "ignorance tax" scheme has made valuable to the schemers, and therefore an increasing part of our lives:
EVERYTHING LISTED ABOVE IS what is actually paid-for by the "ignorance tax", either in the conventional sense of being financed with its enormous, corruption-inducing aggregation of wealth into the hands of a political class with feet of clay, or as a price we all pay by the degradation and loss of our principles and our values. Is all this really how a sensible people want to be spending their resources? I think not, but this IS what we're doing now, because of all those not yet awakened to the truth about the income tax. Be an alarm clock.

A Review of CtC by Derek Cushman

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.

Media Evasion Of CtC Must End, Now Time, unfortunately, is on the side of the well-funded disinformation specialists class
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... *****

Warrior David Larson shares this beautiful little farce, wryly observing that, "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'?"

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

PLEASE CONTINUE TO DILIGENTLY SPREAD THE LIBERATING TRUTH ABOUT THE TAX!!!
***** 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. © All written and graphic material on this page and website are copyrighted by Peter E. Hendrickson, unless otherwise attributed. |
