"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 *** The Most Important Thing I've Written In Years It may surprise you... I BELIEVE A LOT OF FOLKS think that the most important things I write are legal arguments or parsings and analysis of the tax code. But this is not so. The fact is, I did all the needed legal analysis and writing relevant to the "ignorance tax" scheme long ago, and none of it needs to be restated or re-examined. CtC hadn't been in print for even 90 days before the first complete income tax refund in history was issued way back in 2003, and a vast, uninterrupted cascade has followed since. CtC is complete and correct, and covers everything anyone needs to know to become free of "ignorance tax" abuse. There is, to be sure, some sporadic near-criminal balkiness that has to be dealt with by some folks. Tax agencies still struggle to keep their train rolling with increasingly strained gimmicks; continue to maintain an army of troll sites meant to discourage new students of the truth; and continue to maintain an army of moles injecting nonsense into the "tax honesty" community from which many of those students come in the hope of hindering those transitions. So there certainly ARE more "legal" things to be written, if only on the periphery of the central subject of the tax, and I write them unstintingly. But they ARE peripheral, and are by no means the most important things I write. HERE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I'VE WRITTEN IN YEARS: 'What Life Is Like When The Truth Revealed In CtC Is Widely Understood'. Does that surprise you? Let me explain-- and please follow along, because it is REALLY important that you understand what this article is about. As I noted above, the legal work is all long since done. ANYBODY that carefully reads through that material will finish the process fully-educated and able to go forward with successfully securing his or her own interests in regard to the tax. Even in the rare cases in which implementation of the knowledge doesn't promptly result in the return of improperly-collected funds, and/or an untroubled acknowledgement of no tax owed, every educated filing permanently establishes everything legally necessary for those results. In such cases it might be necessary to "hire a collection agency", as it were, in order to eventually get what's yours. But once that educated filing is made every proper claim is fully secured, and getting it back-- with interest-- becomes only a matter of time. HOWEVER, THE REAL BENEFIT offered by the truth about the tax is not the return of improperly-taken property. The real benefit offered by the truth about the tax is the restoration of the republic (or at least, the restoration of meaningful restraint on the State, which insulates individual Americans from being swept along and made party-- or victim-- to whatever craziness, immorality or impoverishing profligacy captures the enthusiasm of the masses). Enjoying that real benefit offered by the truth about the tax requires it to be as widely known as possible. Getting that truth to be widely known requires the seduction of many, many people into undertaking a comfortable-paradigm-disrupting learning process in which they otherwise have no interest, and have been heavily-conditioned to avoid generally and to assume will be fruitless in any event. FOR INSTANCE, many of the people needing to be educated actually imagine themselves to pay little or no tax already. Misinformation about FICA surtaxes has been thorough over the decades, mostly as delivered by the purveyors (and consumers) of the "It's an insurance program" nonsense. As a consequence, many Americans in some level of supposed "negative tax" or minimal "normal tax" status (such as by the effect of "tax credits" of one kind or another) would, until educated, imagine themselves to have nothing much to gain personally from knowing all about the income tax. Indeed, the fiction of vast numbers of Americans paying no income tax is ingrained in the current paradigm mythology, as shown here and here. (Get a sense of the ugly reality being concealed by the myths here.) AND THEN THERE ARE THOSE WHO IMAGINE that confining the application of the tax to its actual legal objects will leave us without paved streets or a national defense. Indeed, these folks have been socialized into imagining that without an unrestrained State, Americans would be living in primitive anarchy. I can't say how these folks imagine their great-great-grandparents managed to survive long enough to have kids before being rescued from the jungle by the income tax, but my speculations don't matter. The myth of an unrestrained State being the thin veil between civilization and people living like beasts, red in tooth and nail, has been well-embedded. OBVIOUSLY, GETTING PEOPLE TO ENGAGE in a facially-difficult study of seemingly obscure legal material about the income tax-- discouragement of which is a well-funded, diligently-implemented government program-- when they start out believing they have little or nothing to gain financially or will be reduced to primitive barbarism by any change in the status quo is a tough row to hoe. But it is the row needing hoeing. That's why articles like this one are my most important work over the last few years. It is also why the second most important variety are the kind you are reading now, by which I hope you will be encouraged to vigorously spread this link (and/or this alternative of a similar nature, or this somewhat darker but more pointed one, or this one, darker still but chillingly current and serious as a heart attack) far and wide, in any way you can. Even those who don't imagine they have anything financial to gain from the truth about the tax can recognize and take personally the benefits of restoring the republic. Even more (and even while sending those linked items around with a will), take a shot at writing your own thoughts and presentations about the overall benefits of re-invigorating the Founders' provisions for keeping the State properly small. Many hands make for light work. You don't have to be a great writer to inspire others with what lights up your own eyes. You just have to share it.

IF YOU WISH TO CONTINUE getting notifications of newsletter and mid-edition update posts, you MUST make one of these connections (unless you're a member of the state CtC Warrior forums in AZ, CA, CO, FL, GA, IL, MI, MN, MO, NE, NY, NC, OH, OR, PA, SC, TX, UT, VA, WA or WI, all of whom will continue to get the regular announcements if the membership is set to receive email updates). NOTE: I will still not be engaging in correspondence by any of these alternative means-- those wishing to correspond should continue to use email for this purpose. NOTE II: For those who have it, a fear of "social media" accounts is misplaced. Typically all that is needed to open one is an email address, which you already have, and possibly your age (or at least, that you are an adult). You don't even have to use your real name.

Further, you can repost my posts on your own page (or "re-tweet" them) and you will do much to help advance the cause while still exposing nothing personal about yourself.

A Few Words About Bimbos I have no brief for most (maybe all) of the targets of erupting bimbos, and don't find it difficult to imagine that some accusations may well be true. But let's keep a clear head here... CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, but didn't the "Beverly BillHillies" teach us during the 1990s that erupting (so-called) bimbos were to be scorned, smeared, denied and disavowed? I think I'm right... Bill Clinton was assailed by a number of actually very credible accusers of sexual assaults, and he, Hillary Clinton, the Democratic party machine and its fellow travelers all locked shields and fired up the spin machines and the smearbund. It's a bit hypocritical for the same crowd to now be taking the accuser's sides when the accused are political opponents, don't you think? However, slapping statist hypocrites isn't my purpose in this column, as easy and as pleasurable as that may be. I want to share a few thoughts here on the current bimbo eruption on its own "merits", as it were, starting with the fact that (with two notable exceptions, to be distinguished below) there are none (merits, that is). TO BEGIN WITH, this recent frenzy of accusations reminds me of nothing so much as the "Day Care Abuse" accusations of the 1980s. In both cases the accusations are or were vague, impossible to verify, and fueled in their mass-market virulence by emotion and the political value of their implications, if the accusations are presumed true. In the "Day Care" craziness the vagueness and impossibility of verification rested on the fact that the alleged victims and witnesses were all toddlers. In the current bimbo eruption the same convenience to their exploiters arises from the remoteness in time (and lack of witnesses or other evidence) that remarkably features in each accusation. Then, the object (or opportunity) was the advancement of political persons and positions by gratuitous destruction visited upon nobodies (that is to say, average American men and women with no public status). Now, the object is the same, in negative: the destruction of disfavored political persons and positions by attacks of nobodies on currently-reigning "somebodies". Similarities of this kind don't impose, or even imply, likeness in nature. Nonetheless, I think the eventual wake-up moment in which those taken in by the "Day Care Abuse" insanity recognized their madness should give serious pause to those who today are thrashing about in the red-tinged "sexual predator" waters. BEYOND JUST THE LESSONS of past hysterical frenzies, I recommend this thought to everyone's consideration: The extremity of time passed between the recent accusations of alleged sexual wrongdoing and the times in which the alleged events are said to have taken place establish the accusers (or those handling them in their accusations) to be questionably-motivated opportunists in most cases, even if the accusations are true. If the accusations are true, the victims kept these serious crimes to themselves for years or even decades, in many cases almost certainly for the benefit of their careers. This would be a despicable thing (and would be even if the silence were NOT for their own benefit in this fashion or the like). Let's remember, the times we're speaking of, distant in the past to the point of incredibility as some may be, were still back no further than the 1980s. Even that far back we don't arrive at a time in which any woman had the least reason to expect anything but support and being hailed as a heroine for calling out a sexual assailant. Geraldine Ferraro was running for vice president. Margaret Thatcher was Prime Minister. Oprah was on the air. (And, then as at ALL times, fathers and brothers would break the legs or worse of any scumbag that molested or assaulted their daughters or sisters.) That is, there was no credible reason for these women to NOT report, denounce and prosecute a crime against them of the sort they now accuse. Silence can only have been calculated, making it rise to a crime of its own, if only morally; and maybe even a kind of collusion with the predator. OR, OF COURSE, the accusations are NOT true. In this case the accusers (or their handlers) are despicable opportunists for that reason alone, with nothing further needing to be said (even though again, the false accusations may be being made for the sake of career advancement, politics, or just 15 minutes of fame). All told, I think it the course of wisdom for everyone who has gotten hyperventilated about these accusations to exhale slowly and take a step back, remembering that everyone-- even someone whose politics you despise-- is innocent until proven guilty, and that accusations made years or especially decades after the alleged facts when no good reason exists for the delay are very likely to be untrue. OH, BY THE WAY, I spoke above of two exceptions to the foregoing analysis. They are the accusations against Al Franken and John Conyers. In the latter case, Conyers has already admitted the offense by settling with the accuser. In Franken's case, there is photographic evidence (and the victim appears to have been asleep at the time of at least some of the offending acts, which, further, apparently didn't take place all that long ago).

“I didn’t say it would be easy, I just said it would be the truth.” -Morpheus
Make someone you love sweat bullets this year... (...and show them you think they're the greatest!) I THINK WE'D ALL AGREE that sometimes the truth can
be a pesky thing-- demanding, disturbing, and seriously
inconvenient. The fact is, when you know the truth, you have to
act on it, or be party to a lie; and when that lie is old,
entrenched, vigorously defended and comfortingly familiar, the
correcting truth can be very hard to learn, and even harder to
act upon. That's why one of the most challenging gifts to receive this holiday season is a copy of 'Cracking the Code- The Fascinating Truth About Taxation In America'. Learning the truth about the income tax means setting aside misconceptions nurtured for a lifetime. Acting on that truth means abandoning lifelong servility to the state through the offices of the IRS-- the one organization whose carefully cultivated reputation as a rabid junkyard dog is feared by everyone in America. Both of those things are really hard! However, those very same challenges also make 'Cracking the Code-...' the most rewarding gift to get or give this holiday season. After all, how better could you communicate to those you love the high degree of esteem in which you hold them? How more certain of your high regard could they be made, after such a display of your faith in their character? (Helping them stop unnecessary losses of up to 40% or more of their earnings each year goes over pretty well, too, by the way...) So, pass out a little panic this year. Then stand back and watch your special someone stand tall, like the real American he or she was born to be.
Oh, and by the way...

BECAUSE POSTING VICTORIES involves multiple page updates and other related tasks, and because I've had plenty of other things to post lately, new victory posts haven't gone up since early last month. So let's enjoy a selection of those that have accumulated recently and celebrate some fine upstanding warriors for the rule of law: TERRY AND ALISA have secured a fine federal victory for 2016:
Here are the docs filed to generate this complete refund. *** ERIC D. has secured refunds of withholdings during 2016 from both the feds and Massachusetts:
Here is Eric's federal filing (Eric mistakenly failed to include the FICA income surtax withholdings in his refund claim, as will be seen, and is acting to rectify that with an amendment). Here is Eric's MA filing. *** MATTHEW has secured a belated victory for 2015, filing for it just this past July and receiving his complete refund a few weeks later in early August:
Here is Matthew's filing that produced this victory for the rule of law. *** And just last week, VINCENT AND SHELLY T. received their complete refund of 2016 withholdings from New Jersey, after a long, drawn-out argument with the state:
Here is the claim filed by Vincent and Shelly, and the obnoxious balking by the state in its effort to evade the law and browbeat or fool Vincent and Shelly into standing down before finally admitting the truth. The state should have known better. Vincent and Shelly are veteran CtC warriors with multiple federal and state victories posted. The alleged balance owed to the feds to which Vincent and Shelly's latest complete refund was diverted is itself a subject of dispute, and will doubtless soon end up as yet another victory post for these good folks. SO, HATS OFF to Vincent and Shelly, and Matthew, Eric, Terry and Alisa as well! These good Americans have all stepped up and acted to restrain the dangerous and corrupt state and uphold the rule of law, something desperately needed from everyone.
These newly-posted 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 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. Really, it's this simple:

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.

What Is Paid For By The "Ignorance Tax" Everything... 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.

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... *****

Have You Taken A Military, Law Enforcement or Public Office Oath To Uphold And Defend The Constitution? 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.

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. |
