"The preservation of a free government requires, not
merely that the metes and bounds which separate
each department of power be invariably maintained, but
more especially that neither of them be suffered to
overleap the great barrier which defends the rights
of the people. The rulers who are guilty of such
encroachment exceed the commission from which they derive
their authority, and are TYRANTS. The people who
submit to it are governed by laws made neither by themselves
nor by an authority derived from them and are slaves….."
Btw, a copy of
CtC from anywhere except the link above may not
be a current edition. CHECK. It matters. Also, there
ARE no e-book, Kindle or .pdf versions of
CtC. Don't get taken in by efforts to sell you--
or even give you for free-- any such thing.

How Accurate Journalism On
The Liberating CtC Story Has Been Suppressed (And
How To Fix It)
A tragic tale of one-off fake judicial proceedings
and the exploitation of human foibles.
TWO WEEKS AGO
this motion was filed with the court that has most
recently been presiding over the more than ten-year-old
government effort to force my wife Doreen to say she
believes her earnings and mine from 2002 and 2003 qualify
for the income tax. Those interested can see the accompanying
exhibits (warning, large file)
here.
The motion demonstrates that the May, 2007
DoJ-written federal district court ruling which
commands the badly-wanted government-serving declarations
constitutes the commission of a crime. As is shown,
the commands themselves
are expressly felonies under the provisions of 26 U.S.C. §
7206(2), which criminalizes efforts to procure false
tax returns
This criminal character of these commands
is above and beyond, or at least independent
of, their trampling on Doreen's speech and due
process rights. It is above and beyond, or at least
independent of, the crimes of a signature-stamped ruing by a judge who
had no knowledge of disputed issues about which
"facts" were nonetheless "found" in the ruling, or
the making of "findings" which are
manifestly
false on their faces, or doing all of this
without so much as a single hearing, and based in
some instances on
admittedly specious government representations.
ANYWAY, THE MOTION is well worth
reading for its presentation on the illegality of
any effort to induce the submission of a return not
believed true by its signer. This will be of
significance to anyone subjected to "penalty"
threats or even simple "proposals" seeking agreement
to "changes in your return".
The motion is more significant still
for its revelation that the commands over which
Doreen has suffered years of abuse-- and which,
along with the ruling by which they were issued,
have been pointed to by trolls,
CtC-deniers and
government shills as "evidence" against CtC-- were,
from inception, an expressly criminal act and
nothing else. The whole thing has been a fiction,
designed to convey a false impression about the law
to everyone not already knowledgeable enough to
recognize its falseness.
IN FACT, THE SIGNIFICANCE of that
fictional character of the 2007 "ruling" cannot be
overstated. It is that bogus ruling, more than
anything else, which has kept Americans in the dark
and has withheld from them the restoration of
liberty and prosperity which CtC offers. Here's how:
The bogus ruling, with those bogus
"findings", was presented in 2009 to the jury in my
trial on charges that I filed "false returns"
(which, remember, is actually only a charge that a
filer doesn't believe what he says on his return,
not a charge that the returns are objectively
incorrect). This presentation was made without any
witness involved who could be questioned about the
ruling, or the manner in which it was produced. It
was made without warning at the very end of my
trial, and in defiance of a prior ruling by the
trial judge granting my motion in
limine barring any such "evidence" without a
confrontable witness.
In 2013, this bogus "ruling" was the
basis for the assault on Doreen which began in June
of that year, and continues to this day, over her
resistance to the ruling's demand that she say her
earnings qualify for the tax. That assault
superficially appears to reflect a broad judicial
position that "Doreen can't really believe that not
all her earnings are subject to the tax!", and
implies a broad judicial position that all earnings
ARE subject to the tax, even though not one of the
judges who have participated in Doreen's mugging
have ever said this, and the only thing ever even
purporting to represent a "official" view that
Doreen's earnings are so subject is
an unsigned,
fake "examination report".
These events-- the bogus "ruling" in
2007; my kangaroo conviction in 2009 made possible
by misuse of that bogus ruling (among
many other improprieties); and Doreen's kangaroo
conviction for resisting the ruling's demand that
she say she believes her earnings qualify for the
tax, with its superficial implications about the
views of the judiciary, all as presented by the
deceiving government-- are seen almost immediately
by any journalist who takes an interest in the
CtC
story. That journalist, of course, is virtually
certain to be ignorant of the backstory which
clarifies all of this, and makes the
deception-intending presentation of these events by
the government itself a story worthy of publication.
Being ignorant of the backstories and
the truth, the journalist will translate the
taken-at-face-value government misrepresentations as
evidence that whatever it was that led him or her to
look at the CtC story in the first place-- the
victories, testimonials, whatever-- must be
themselves being somehow misrepresented and untrue.
And so, no story gets written by which more
Americans could be awakened to the liberating truth.
If anything, there is just another
journalist out there counseling any inquiring
colleague who has chanced upon the CtC story in turn
to not bother-- it's just another bunch of "tax
protestor" nonsense. Maybe the spun journalist will
even write an article trashing CtC.
All in all, it's an old, inescapable
dynamic. Garbage in always produces garbage out.
BUT THERE'S A REMEDY for this ugly
sequence of events and its evil consequences. It
involves nothing more than you in the CtC community,
in your thousands, filling the internet to which
every one of these journalists resort for their
information with focused rebuttals of the government
lies and misrepresentation about these events.
Such rebuttals are all that is
necessary. Making any competent journalist aware
that these government bally-hooed events are fake
leads instantly to the question, "Why have
these contrivances been resorted-to?" And with that
one question planted in fertile soil, the whole
house of cards tumbles down.
Further, the same dynamic described
above in regard to journalists is also true in
regard to lawyers, judges, CPAs and your skeptical
friends and acquaintances-- both as to the problem,
and as to the solution.
Understand, my postings on all of these
things are completely inadequate to this challenge.
Many of my emails are blocked;
Wikipedia won't allow links to my site; navigation
to my site prompts bogus virus warnings from
widely-used antivirus software periodically, based
on fake "customer reports". And, of course, anything I say will be taken as presumptively
self-serving, and won't persuade very many
journalists to take the sometimes considerable
trouble and time of reading through a multitude of
court filings, or even just my summarizing
articles-- even
those thoroughly-equipped with documentation and
exhibits (this one is a complete story of the
civil case resulting in the criminal orders of 2007,
by the way).
SO, PLEASE, STEP UP and speak out. Get
a site, start a blog, post all over social media.
Use any and all of the resources linked in the
material above.
Do all you can to ensure that when a
search is made for Pete Hendrickson, or CtC, or
Cracking the Code, rebuttals of government lies and
declarations of the truth-- especially including
exposures of the government suppression scheme--
come up high in the results, if not exclusively.
Darkness can never defeat the light, if
the lights are turned on.

Some of our Southern gentlemen do some
good work for the community.
A GROUP OF GEORGIA CtC WARRIORS decided at one
of their recent gatherings to do a fine service for
the community and the cause. These good folks resolved
to research and report on laws in each of the several
states which collect the income tax.
The activists' paper shows the linkage
of each state tax structure to the federal structure,
with all its attendant limitations. The utility of this
material in demonstrating aspects of the underlying
truth about the tax in outreach efforts is self-evident.
The Georgia warriors are to be commended
for this effort, which is a fine example of the kind
of action the state groups are meant to encourage and
facilitate. I hope this encourages other groups toward
the same kind of creative thinking and purposeful effort.
There are thousands of you organized for these purposes,
and a lot of good could be done.
See the Georgians' paper
here. It is permanently linked from the "activists"
section of the
State Group page.

Now, That's What I'm Talking
About, II!
It's been a good week for good guys doing
good things...
NEW YORK WARRIOR TOM BRANIFF has also done
some good warrior-work recently. Tom presented the World
Almanac and Book of Facts with a much-needed remonstration
and education regarding the true meaning and effect
of the Sixteenth Amendment and a misunderstood phrase
in the Fourteenth.
As happens with a disgusting near-universality
among modern published renderings of the U.S. Constitution,
The World Almanac and Book of Facts (sic) has taken
it upon itself to claim to all its readers that the
Sixteenth Amendment modified Article 1, sec. 9 cl. 4
and, in a new one to me, that section 2 of the Fourteenth
Amendment modified Article 1, sec. 2, cl. 3. (The latter
is done through the Almanac's unqualified assertion
that the first sentence of section 2 of the Fourteenth
Amendment replaces the first sentence of Article
1, sec. 2, cl. 3, rather than more carefully and accurately
explaining what it really does, which is lay down a
new rule regarding the apportioning of representatives
only.)
Tom recognizes the pernicious effect of
this sort of misinformation and sent the publisher
an excellent corrective. I hope everyone encountering
this same nonsense and any other misstatement of the
law strives to be as pro-active as Tom has been.
***
Now, Here's MORE Of What I'm
Talking About!!
A simple way for everyone to join Tom and
the Georgia Boys...
IF EVERY STATE GROUP (or anyone else) were
to devote some time and effort
to scheduling and hosting presentations of
this video to CPA and legal firms, a whole lot of
good could be done in a very short order.
The requirements are simple. Book an hour
with the chosen firm, with the understanding that all
professional staff will be assembled for the presentation.
A thoughtful introduction should make this inexpensive
and easy.
Explain that all you are asking for is
an opportunity to show a video in which some facts about
the income tax are revealed on the basis of which tens
of thousands of Americans have recovered $billions from
the IRS and three dozen state tax agencies over the
course of more than 14 years now, by way of a quarter
of a million claims made with the tax agencies, and
even in the face of agency resistance of several different
kinds.
SOME FIRMS MAY SHOO YOU AWAY, certainly.
But some will not.
Arrive at the appointed hour in a group,
dressed business casual or better and groomed for church.
Have your most articulate, persuasive speaker take the
lead, but all be alert and attentive, sending out a
calm, confident and positive vibe.
Understand and communicate with your demeanor
that you are not there to debate anything. Rather, you
are there to show these folks things they don't know,
and need to know.
Bring a big monitor, speakers and a laptop
with which you can access the video. Rehearse and be
able to make your connections and be up and running
in moments with no fuss.
Play the video. Hand out printed copies
of
this document to everyone in attendance. Thank your
audience for their time and attention, and take your
leave.
When out of sight, clap each other on the
back for an important job well done and head out for
your next appointment (or to a nice group meal to celebrate,
compare notes and plan your next activist outing).
"It does not take a majority to prevail...
but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting
brushfires of freedom in the minds of men."
I DEARLY HOPE that Washington can reach
deep this week. Its proper course is to emulate
Russia's recent admirable examples in South Ossetia
and Eastern Ukraine and lend support on behalf of
the Catalonian aspiration to self-determination in
the face of a larger, stronger state wishing to hold
in bondage those living in that region.
There was a time when this would have
been a no-brainer, and it ought to be again. This
country needs to resume its traditional demeanor as
well-wisher to the liberty aspirations of all
people, everywhere and always.
INDEED, IN LIGHT OF THE PRINCIPLES laid
out in our primary foundational document, the
Declaration of Independence, it borders on treason
to be anything BUT supportive of the aspirations of
any people to dissolve the political bands which
have connected them with another. I hope Donald
Trump and those around him think this through and
end up doing the right thing.
(And with the above in mind, please see
the video and pledge text below, and the article
that follows...)
AS I SUSPECT IS TRUE OF MANY MODERN
AMERICANS, I have never been able to comfortably
place myself within the "liberal/conservative"
bipolar spectrum of political leanings. This
dichotomy is just not a comprehensive model of its
subject.
Properly understood, and as used today,
"liberal" and "conservative" are expressions of
one's leanings in regard to the growth or activism
of the state. Liberals favor (or are tolerant of) an
activist state-- as by the perspective that the
United States Constitution affords latitude in the
perception and exercise of state power, and that
latitude being "liberally construed". Conservatives
favor or reflect a perspective of stasis-- that
preservation of the legal and citizen-state status
quo, whatever it may be, is a good unto itself (and
so that status quo is to be conserved).
It can be said this way-- liberals want
fluidity in the law (often so that whatever their
latest libertine fad can be indulged without
hindrance or with the support of state power);
conservatives want stability (even if this means
cementing into place present-day outrages against
natural rights which had successfully been
established by yesterday's liberals). I know many
self-labeled conservatives will bristle at that
description, but ask them when was the last time
they agitated on behalf of repealing all compulsory
education laws, all existing federal gun control
measures, all drug criminalization acts, etc..
(As a side note, it is important to
also understand that "liberal" and "conservative"
are not expressions of political philosophy. In the
sense of political philosophy, these terms are
meaningless.
Liberal in what regard? As noted above,
and as known by all, the exercise of this philosophy
comprehends a "liberal" demeanor toward only
"politically correct" behavior, and endorses a
savage intolerance of any difference of opinion as
to what should be so considered, or how, or whether,
homage must be paid to the reigning orthodoxy of the
day.
Conservative of what? The people's
liberties? Not as practiced, as shown in the
question above. Conservative of state power? Not
according to the rhetoric of self-described
conservatives, at least...
This as distinct from an actual
political philosophy, such as libertarianism, which
lays down a fundamental body of principles to be
dogmatically applied in all cases and circumstances,
without regard to any personal preferences or
interests.)
SO, IN LIGHT OF THE INSUFFICIENCY of
the liberal/conservative dichotomy to express my own
position on state growth and activism, I propose an
additional selection: "Restorationist".
Restorationism is a view that state power and
behavior, and citizen/state relationships, should be
reset to their original status as conceived and
implemented legally by each provision of the
relevant Constitution by which each state was
established (United States Constitution in regard to
the federal government; each state Constitution in
regard to that state).
Simply put, a restorationist wants the
state bound down by the chains of its Constitution
in the sense and to the degree and effect that it
was when each measure of that Constitution was
adopted. It is a rejection of stare decisis
as a judicial doctrine, and a rejection of the
status quo to any degree in which that current state
of things has already deviated from original intent.
"The judiciary of the United States is
the subtle corps of sappers and miners constantly
working underground to undermine our Constitution
from a co-ordinate of a general and special
government to a general supreme one alone. This will
lay all things at their feet. … I will say, that
“against this every man should raise his voice,”
and, more, should uplift his arm..."
-Thomas Jefferson
AS IT HAPPENS, we have just last week
been treated to an opportunity to model
restorationism. In the news this past Friday (and
perhaps for a few days prior) were stories about a
new technology being drooled over by police
departments and totalitarians of all stripes by
which
people can be remotely scanned for the detection of
state-disfavored possessions on their persons
(that is, for concealed weapons).
These devices are along the lines of
portable, projector-function TSA body-scanners, with
the intended deployment being on the streets by
police, who will, without probable cause of any
kind, search random individuals. Some deployment is
also intended against motorists during traffic
stops.
The use of these devices is arguably
not a Fourth Amendment violation under the
current "interpretation" of the amendment by the
courts. Because the use of the devices is
harmonious with the status quo, conservatives won't
denounce it on grounds that it is a Fourth Amendment
violation (although some might denounce the "gun
control" motivations or implication behind this
particular deployment of the technology). Liberals
won't denounce it because they embrace gun control
(though they might denounce it if it were used to
detect hash pipes-- though again, not because of the
Fourth Amendment issue, but only because of the
recreational drug use infringement of this
particular application).
However, the use of this technology as
proposed IS a Fourth Amendment violation, regardless
of the object of the search,
under the amendment as understood and intended by
its authors. Thus, a restorationist will
denounce these mobile scanning devices no matter
what the application-- they are Constitutional
violations anywhere the Fourth Amendment or its
equivalent is the law of the land (and privacy
violations anywhere, period).
ANYONE WHO PUTS HIS/HER MIND TO IT for
five minutes will come up with a dozen (or two
dozen, or five dozen) other examples of
Constitutional provisions which are routinely
violated by the state under the legal status quo.
Just considering
the original intent and real meaning of the Commerce
Clause alone will gin-up five dozen. Only a
restorationist will recognize and stand against
these crimes.
I invite everyone to try "restorationist"
on for size. You may find that it's a very
comfortable fit.
ED FROM PENNSYLVANIA shares a refund of
a local mis-application of the tax:
***
And VINCENT AND SHELLY T.'s (quirky) notice
of their latest victory for the rule of law is now posted:
I say quirky because this notice
declares only a victory-in-progress.
Vincent and Shelly's claim was for the full amount
listed in this notice ($17,026). The IRS acknowledges
that the couple received no "wages" or "income" under
any other name (and refunds the normal tax accordingly),
but is still taking a shot at keeping the FICA surtaxes
collected from them, even though those also only arise
upon the receipt of "wages" everyone agrees were not
received...
It's a shame that bad apples in the IRS
sometimes make things difficult for good people like
Vincent and Shelly. But of course, no sensible person
expects liberty to always come easily.
ANYWAY, HATS OFF to Emily, David, Ed, Vincent
and Shelly!
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.
Emily, David, Ed, Vincent and Shelly'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?
*I don't really know the exact numbers
of these latest posted victories, only that they are
likely to be at a minimum somewhere in the neighborhood
indicated, and actually likely to be a good deal higher.
See
this for the calculation factors, which you can
apply for yourself.
I assign the numbers as I do in the title
of this post in order to make a point-- whatever the
exact numbers are, they are enormously large, and represent
a hugely important and utterly unique sustained series
of events in American history. And yet, the vast majority
of Americans KNOW NOTHING WHATEVER ABOUT IT.
How can this be? Doesn't ANYONE reading
these newsletters and familiar with these events know
a journalist?
The degree to which this all goes unremarked
just boggles the mind. I hope and pray that this silence,
this muffling of the liberating truth, ends soon, and
I ask any of you that can help to please do so.
DON DON LA VIGNE, a long-time warrior
and real American grown-up, shares a nice and inspiring
testimonial on what
CtC has done for him for over nine years now:
A Fine Presentation On The
Pernicious Practice Of "Civil Asset Forfeiture"
Another excellent video by Jerry Day.
THE INVOCATION OF RIGHTS of which Jerry
speaks can be found as a .pdf
here. The large-scale solution to the legal and
paradigmatic pollution within which things like
"civil asset forfeiture" become normalized can be
found
here.
Say, wouldn't it be nice if Jerry Day
were to do one of his excellent videos about the
CtC suppression campaign? Sure would. Maybe
those of you who know him should urge him to do
so...
"Like a muddied stream or a polluted fountain
is the righteous man who gives way before the wicked."
-Proverbs 25:26
"A nation of sheep begets a government
of wolves."
CAN CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE how abysmally
stupid someone would have to be to continue to doubt
or deny that
CtC has revealed the actual, complete and insurmountable
truth about the income tax in light of the overwhelming
mountain of
historical,
legal,
practical and
logical evidence to the contrary? (Not to mention
the
outright lies and even
ludicrous hoaxes the executive and some corrupt
members of the judiciary have been caught at in desperate
efforts to conceal the truth...)
Plainly any such denier must either be
abysmally stupid or be an abysmally corrupt government
official or other person who sees him or herself as
benefitting from the lies about the tax by which America
has suffered for 75 years now.
Isn't this true?
I HOI HOPE NOBODY OUT THERE is tolerating
a single
CtC denier anywhere within the "tax honesty" or
"activist" communities. Such people-- and they are definitely
out there, flogging their pet
tin-foil-hat theories-- are the millstone around
the neck of the rest of us, keeping the truth about
the tax from getting the audience it needs in order
to bring about the transformation of the American landscape
which it is uniquely capable of doing.
Nor should anyone be tolerating denial,
either implicit or explicit, by any lawyer, accountant,
journalist, judge, elected official or bureaucrat. "Denial"
by any of these types is collusion and corruption, or
rank cowardice at best.
MORE, DENIAL OF THE OBVIOUS AND STATE-RESTRAINING
TRUTH ABOUT THE TAX might have a sinister aspect, as
well. The State, whose growth and power are made possible
by the lies about the tax which the deniers enable,
is the mechanism by which some exercise control over
others through the application (or credible threat)
of violence.
The bulked-up State, in short, is the means
by which some rule others. The larger the State, the
more successfully it rules, and the more easily it can
brush aside or overpower Constitutionally-based objections
to its edicts, exploitations and abuses.
I don't personally imagine a long-running,
deliberate and closely-controlled effort to subjugate
the American people. I discuss this in the "Interlude"
portion of
CtC, as many of you will recall, where I argue instead
that the only large-scale and long-running "conspiracy"
in America is a soft one-- a coincidental conspiracy
of interests.
In my view America suffers from Adam Smith's
"invisible hand" in reverse: the evil effect of many
individuals unwisely entrusted with too much power who,
in using it to look out for their own interests individually,
work a massive harm to society.
But the growth of the State unquestionably
serves to create the tool by which deliberate subjugation
could be accomplished. Indeed, the overgrown State made
uniquely possible by the misapplication of the income
tax is the ONLY means by which the American people could
be subjugated.
And who knows? Maybe I'm wrong in my view,
and those seeing a darker picture are right.
Warrior Rick Van Camp recently shared with
me a few words from that darker perspective which ends
with a key point that is just as cogent whether you
see Leviathan growing among us for the one reason or
the other:
In 1913 Woodrow Wilson stated:
“Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s
views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest
men in the United States, in the Field of commerce and
manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that
there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle,
so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive,
that they better not speak above their breath when they
speak in condemnation of it.”
And this continues today. When
opportunistic liars like Al Gore can make hundreds of
millions from outright lies and manipulation of Science
while producing a "carbon footprint" of at least 100
people, when a treasonous dog like Obama can plot the
overthrow of an elected President in Public and get
away with it without a whimper from the so-called Press,
or the Congress; when tens of millions of "Americans"
can vote for a continuation of nanny-state entitlements
while allowing their children to be indoctrinated by
those who would continue them as children, when a once-proud
and independent people submit reflexively to a militarized
State army of (now armed) bureaucratic functionaries
who grope their women and young daughters in airports
and soon bus and train stations, invade their homes
on the slightest pretext (more than 50,000 SWAT raids
last year) and terrorize, injure and sometimes murder
innocents...
That organized, subtle and
watchful power is HERE, among us, and in your face.
And YOU pay for it.
YOU PAY FOR IT. That's the big point.
If you're a
CtC denier, it doesn't matter whether what's going
on is grayish or pitch-black-- either way, YOU'RE PAYING
FOR IT.
I don't mean, "You're paying the price,
sweetie". I mean YOU ARE PERSONALLY FINANCING WHAT IS
BEING DONE TO YOU AND TO YOUR CHILDREN AND TO THIS WONDERFUL
COUNTRY. And you're doing so voluntarily, and in most
cases, simply because you refuse to learn or accept
what
CtC has revealed. In a word, you're daft.
And as for "official" and "professional"
CtC deniers, you're the ones keeping the lie
going to which the daft succumb. There's a word for
that, too. Despicable.
"It is impossible to calculate the moral
mischief, if I may so express it, that mental lying
has produced in society. When a man has so far corrupted
and prostituted the chastity of his mind as to subscribe
his professional belief to things he does not believe
he has prepared himself for the commission of every
other crime."
-Thomas Paine

LITTLE BIT OF A P. S. on this article:
I have to cut a pass to a lot of folks out there not
yet embracing
CtC and acting on its revelations to help transform
America. I'm talking about the huge majority of folks
who have never heard of any of this, or who have only
seen the lies and smears and pretenses of "official"
resistance to
CtC (such as are discussed
here,
here,
here and
here).
These folks effectively serve as weight
on the deniers' side of the scale-- and also finance
the Beast-- because I haven't been able to get my videos
or other liberation information to them. I'm talking
about your Uncle Jerry (or Aunt Sally, or Junior, or
your buddy Sam, or whoever).
I haven't been able to get my liberating
information to these folks because I DON'T KNOW THEM.
I have no contact info, and I wouldn't know the best
way to speak to them, even if I did.
YOU have to speak to these folks, and introduce
and share the material. Think about it. When was the
last time you forwarded one of my videos around to
everyone in your
address book?
Do you not do it because you don't think
your family, friends and acquaintances would be interested?
You're wrong. Last autumn 62,979,879 Americans voted
for Donald Trump in the hope that he would restore the
republic. Plenty of people are interested in freedom
and the rule of law.
In aIn a minute you're going to watch Arron
Reeves' wonderful video on his awakening to the truth
about the tax, and what that means to him. Are you going
to share it as widely as the next Kardashian video will
get shared? I hope so.
It is because that DOESN'T get done that
"official" deniers get away with it. I want you to think
about that.
Do you want to get to where you don't have
to file claims for the return of your property at all,
because it never got diverted in the first place? That
will happen the moment that my videos get a million
viewings in a few weeks like some do, instead of struggling
for a year or more to reach a few thousand. It won't
happen before that.
The "official" deniers can control a slow
burning fire. Our fire has to get vigorous, and
only you can make that happen.
An old joke, but in regard to this deceiver,
not a laughing matter at all.
““When principles that run against your
deepest convictions begin to win the day, then battle
is your calling, and peace has become sin; you must,
at the price of dearest peace, lay your convictions

…The US may be
the only country in the world where people working
in the non-federal private sector must commit
perjury in order to owe and pay ‘God’s things

If you work in the
private sector, stop falsely swearing that your
private-sector earnings are federal “income”1.
Perjury is a crime. Exercise the law’s
provision for protecting your private-sector
earnings from the 154-year-old2 indirect
excise known as the federal income tax.
Rebut fraudulent allegations made by your payers

the government that all receipts—everything
that comes in—are income…”.
United States Supreme
Court, So. Pacific v. Lowe, 247 U.S. 330, (1918)

the United States was first instituted into

under the excise laws of the United States.
The preamble to the 1939 Internal Revenue Code

Trolls Against The Truth: A
Dis-Information Campaign
UNLESS YOU'VE LOOKED, you can have no idea
of the volume, intensity and mendacity deployed in the
government's efforts to discourage Americans from learning
what is revealed in
CtC. It's truly astonishing.
A lot of folks are aware of the show-trial
events in which my wife and I have received state-engineered
public beatings meant to scare people away from the
truth about the "ignorance tax" scam. But many are unaware
of the overall campaign. This is a shame, really, because
a focused propaganda effort like this one is a very
powerful acknowledgement of the significance of
CtC's revelations.
While the majority of Americans do not
yet know how
CtC protects them from the vampire state, the vampire
itself certainly does. Dis-information campaigns like
this one make that very clear.
FORMER CBS REPORTER SHERYL ATKISSON describes
some aspects of this sort of dis-information campaign
in the following video. Despite the annoying preliminary
15 seconds or so of advertising, her presentation is
very much worth watching:
(H/T to Greg Belcher for finding
and forwarding this great presentation.)
Losthorizons.com is one of those websites specifically-targeted
by the corrupt interests at Wikipedia described by Atkisson.
The behind-the-scenes folks at that site won't allow
links on their pages to anything posted at
losthorizons.com, nor even just text corrections
of misinformation in their pages about the income tax.
That's the least of it. Click
here for some specific discussion of the enormous
scare campaign that's been actively spreading false
information in hope of discouraging legitimate media
attention, as well as men and women simply seeking the
truth about the tax and liberty from the scourge of
the "ignorance tax".
PLEASE GIVE SOME SERIOUS THOUGHT to the
fact that YOU being secure in your own freedom rests
on others learning the truth as well, and recognize
that it falls to you to help overcome the dis-information
campaign. Post and share
your videos;
share your victories; help silence the agents-provocateur
and distraction-injectors whose nonsense is discussed
and debunked
here; and widely (and frankly, impatiently) share
this page,
this page and
this page, challenging everyone in your address
book to disconnect the phone and the TV for an afternoon
and get educated.
Doing these things will be what makes it
happen, Cap'n.
An Excellent New Video About
The Government Effort To Suppress CtC Has Hit YouTube!
DEREK CUSHMAN HAS POSTED a powerful presentation
on government lies, propaganda and misinformation about
CtC designed to discourage more Americans from reading
the book and getting free of the misadministration of
the tax:
Watch it and share it, folks. This film
will help a lot of people who have been taken in by
the lies understand how they've been manipulated, and
prompt a proper desire to learn the truth about the
tax.
Well done, Derek!
P.S. If there were a thousand videos out
there debunking government lies and encouraging Americans
to learn the truth like this one does, the "ignorance
tax" scheme would collapse in a month. So,
where's yours?

MY FRIENDS, THIS NEWSLETTER NEEDS your
creativity, your clear thinking, and your expressive
energy! In short, this newsletter needs your journalism!
I know that writing for public consumption
isn't everyone's cup of tea. But those who CAN string
a few words together can importantly serve the educated,
activist community by writing and submitting thoughtful,
well-researched and persuasive articles on certain topics
for posting on these pages.
Here are several topics for which submissions
are desired:
Why the media is silent about the astonishing
13-years-and-counting history of government acknowledgements
of the accuracy of CtC's revelations and its simultaneous
efforts to keep Americans from knowing about those
revelations.
Why educating more Americans about
the true history and actual provisions of the income
tax is the most important thing that anyone seeking
to restrain the state and restore the republic can
do today.
Why "tax honesty gurus" stay mum about
CtC and its unprecedented accomplishments in freeing
people from improper application of the tax.
Why hunkering down in every-man-for-himself
silence in the face of statist and fascist assaults
on the rule of law leads to greater harm than what
is hunkered-down against; that is, how fearful behavior
just strengthens the thing feared.
How much better it is to encourage
(and practice) bravery, honesty and openness than
to counsel (and succumb to) fear, lies and concealment.
Articles should be 1500 words or less,
with working titles and author's name at the beginning.
Composition should strive for two and three sentence
paragraphs organized in the form of a theme paper. Intend
to persuade and inspire, not browbeat. Format should
be either .doc or .odt. All submissions selected for
posting may be subject to editing.
Submit to the regular (non-encrypted) address
found
here, as an attachment to an email.
BTW,
CtC Warrior Greg Sutton has just had a good educational/inspirational
article published
here.
In Passing... Three cheers
for Russia, which has stepped up to join Iran
in aid of its long-time ally Syria against the
noxious "Islamic State" nutcases that have sprung
up like toadstools in the wake of the destabilization
of the Middle East by the noxious neocon nutcases
running Washington for the last 15 years.
More Educated Americans Testify,
Showing Why The Deep State Fears CtC
"If the taxpayers of this country ever
discovered that we operate on 98% bluff, the entire
system will collapse."
-Reported remark by an internal revenue
service officer to Sen. Henry E. Bellmon (R. Okla.)
on April 15, 1971.
"The Tax Code represents the genius of
legal fiction... The IRS has never really known
why people pay the income tax... The IRS encourages
voluntary compliance, through FEAR."
-Jack Warren Wade Jr., former IRS officer
in charge of the IRS Nationwide Revenue Officer Training
Program, in his book ‘When You Owe The IRS’
CtC-EDUCATED, AMERICAN HERITAGE-LOVING
grown-up Joe Black shares his testimony
here. Tom Romin shares
his testimony
here. Greg Sutton shares his
here. Enjoy Robert Harvey's testimony
here. Joe's, Tom's and Greg's and
Robert's words, like those of others that can be found
here, are solid examples of why the Deep State fears
CtC.
It's this simple: If you study
CtC you will know the truth about the tax.
Further, you will know that you know the truth,
beyond any doubt.
ONLY
CtC will give you that certainty, because
CtC is exclusively and uniquely complete and correct,
as can be seen by any of thousands of different acknowledgements
of every possible kind, from
this to
this to
this to
this.
Most telling, in its own way, is the government
robotically resorting for years now to the strawman
of
falsely ascribing to CtC the ridiculous arguments
that "wages are not income" and that only federal, state
and local government workers are subject to the tax.
This false ascription is then used as the basis for
claiming the book is "false and frivolous"-- a lame
and transparent dodge begging the question of why the
state won't acknowledge what the book
REALLY says and then attempt to dispute THAT.
Once you know the truth revealed in
CtC, acting in accordance with that truth WILL liberate
you from being an ignorance tax serf. This, the deep
state fears mightily.
FURTHER, ACTING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THAT
deeply-known truth can NEVER legitimately qualify as
any kind of a "tax crime", or for any penalties or fines.
This is not only because what
CtC teaches about the law and the tax is technically
and legally correct, but also because all tax crimes
are crimes of "intent" and all penalties rest for their
legitimacy on "intent".
An educated filing in sincere accordance
with what is known and believed to be true and correct
cannot be lawfully treated as invalid, criminal or subject
to penalty. Any effort by the state to claim otherwise
is inherently corrupt.
Nor can any accurate and truthful filing
be overcome by any lawful means, which is why the state
is so focused on forcing Doreen to declare that she
doesn't believe what
CtC teaches, with the openly-declared hope that
her doing so would discourage other Americans from acting
on what they also believe.
In short, the "ignorance tax" scheme can
only survive if Americans can be bluffed into not seeking
out the truth, and if those who learn that truth can
be discouraged from acting on that truth.
But those who know the truth, and know
they know the truth, cannot not act.
Acting on the truth is a moral imperative,
as well as a legal imperative.
The undaunted actions of those who know
the truth are "calls" against the bluff. Each "call"
ratchets-up the spread of the truth exponentially and
forces state acknowledgement of that truth, one way
or another; and each such acknowledgment takes America
one step closer to
freedom
from the 75-year state-unleashing, people-restraining
"ignorance tax" scheme.
I HAVE DONE MY BEST to lead this country
to liberty from the mis-applied income tax. I have labored
hard. I've shed a lot of sweat, a fair bit of blood
and more than a few tears. But I seem to be pretty poor
at that kind of work.
When I have asked all of you for what I
firmly believe is a necessary resource to move the ball
downfield and give all of us the best chance at justice
and an end to the assault on the rule of law-- simple
testimonial videos requiring nothing from any of you
but the phone in your pocket and three minutes of speaking
from the heart-- I have had only a handful of people
answer my call.
I CAN'T KEEP GOING THIS WAY. I have to
be able to turn my attention away from writing new persuasive
or skepticism-addressing articles week after week, and
toward research, analysis and educational presentations
that will benefit everyone already in this community.
I need time to do some suing, and to bring together
the resources and talent toward that end.
As said, it is my firm belief that your
testimonial videos are the resource that I need to make
big things happen, and they are unquestionably the thing
I need to allow me to turn my attention away from trying
to get horses to drink at the waterhole to which I have
led them. Your words, in your great numbers and all
in your own different ways, will do that better than
anything I write possibly could.
And yet, you are not providing them. This,
despite my having been asking you for them for many
years now.
Therefore, with enormous reluctance, I
am making portions of this website restricted access
only. People have been urging me to do this for years
now, telling me I should impose a charge to access my
work-product, so as to enable me to keep producing.
I have never been inclined to charge fees
for access. I ask for donations, and will continue to
do that, and if they do not come, then I will conclude
that my work is of no value to anyone, and I will close
shop.
But I now WILL charge a special something
for access to some key portions of that work-- testimonial
videos, as discussed, described and demonstrated
here.
SELECTED PAGES CONSTITUTING primarily "legal
resources" pages now require passwords for access, and
to get a password, I need your video. Similarly, if
an email comes my way asking for guidance or assistance,
it had best have a video attached, if I don't already
have yours posted.
I hate to play it this way, but I want
to win.
I'll tell you a story from when I was coaching
my kids in soccer. Both of my kids at a certain age
in their careers had run into a wall common to all but
the very exceptional. They had gotten to be pretty good,
and they wanted to enjoy the benefits of their hard
work. But the arrival of this interest coincided with
a new self-consciousness which made them reluctant to
risk failing and looking foolish. So, they were hanging
back from seizing the main chance when it appeared,
and driving for the goal.
My solution was to post on the wall of
our dining room a couple of simple points about self-discipline,
the chief of which is this: You can't score a goal if
you don't take a shot.
That's how it is here, too. If you don't
stand up, you are laying down, and you'll never score
that goal.
Here is what my kids live by now, in their
own version of that lesson. I hear it from them all
the time as they excel (accompanied by the sound of
a father's breast swelling with pride): Go hard,
or go home.
You, too. Go hard, or go home.
Send those videos.
Do I ask for a lot? I want your victories
to post, your financial support, your efforts at spreading
the word, and your beautiful faces and inspiring words,
too. It IS a lot.
But I'll let Thomas Paine explain:
"Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered;
yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder
the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we
obtain too cheaply, we esteem too lightly. Heaven knows
how to put a proper price on its goods; and it would
be strange indeed, if so celestial an article as freedom
should not be highly rated.”
We each have our reasons, and our story.
It's time, and it's needed, for you to share yours with
the world.
"The day we see truth and do not speak
is the day we begin to die."
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
What does it for you?
Is it simply because no moral and upstanding
person has any choice when it comes to telling the truth
over his or her signature, whether on tax forms or anywhere
else?
Is it recognition of the critical importance
of the rule of law, and the knowledge that if everybody
leaves its caretaking to someone else, it will soon
be lost to us completely?
Is it the money?
Maybe it's just simple respect for your
own rights as a human being, who is not and cannot be
not involuntarily subordinated to others?
Maybe it's just simple respect for your
general civic responsibility to be the grown-up and
enforce frugality and restraint on a big, powerful creature
of our own devising which otherwise is like a badly-raised
teenage boy given whiskey and car keys and let loose
on the road to wreak havoc?
Or is it, perhaps, a more acute anxiety
that if our bonfire of a state isn't damped, and quickly,
it'll soon burn down the house around us all?
What IS it that firms up your jaw and stiffens
your resolve?
It's time to take off the bushel and
share your light!
I would like you to think about what it
is that motivates you for a few moments (or all day,
if you like), and then send me your thoughts. I want
to put YOUR reasons to work inspiring folks who don't
yet understand what this is all about.
In this day and age, the most effective
way for you to share your thinking for the benefit of
others is to video-record yourself talking about how
you feel, and explaining what inspires and motivates
YOU.
All you need is a webcam or cell-phone
equipped with a camera. If you don't have, or know how
to use, one of these, have a friend help.
If needed, write a little script for yourself.
Better, though, to just speak extemporaneously, after
spending a little time sorting out your thoughts and
getting down into your heart. Perhaps make it a video
of someone in your family, or a close friend, interviewing
you.
Dress "business casual". Be well-groomed.
Keep yourself to no more than 2 or 3 minutes,
and keep in mind that the purpose is not to educate,
but to INSPIRE, ENCOURAGE and ENERGIZE. Your video will
be one of many to be shared.
You needn't feel any obligation to be profound,
and you shouldn't try to explain anything about the
law, other than to say that you have read it and you
know it's on your side. You just need to be sincere,
and uplifting. Your object is to make your audience
want to have what you have, and to be where you are
in your heart.
Keep in mind that you're speaking to an
audience that doesn't yet know ANYTHING about the subject,
and whose first reaction is, "This must be illegal;
this must be dangerous; this is too good to be true."
You want to pull that audience right past such things,
and straight to a focus on truth, morality, and our
American heritage of liberty and the rule of law.
Remember: INSPIRE, ENCOURAGE, ENERGIZE.
Speak about rights. Speak about morality,
and the obligation of a grown-up and responsible person
to speak the truth and to enforce the Constitution.
Speak about everyone's duty
to give to God what is God's, always, and to Caesar
only what is really Caesar's. Speak of your obligation
to respect yourself, and to look out for the current
and future well-being of your children and your fellow
citizens. Speak of
CtC, and what its information has done for your
understanding and resolve. Show the book.
If you have had victories, describe them.
Better still, show them, if possible.
Be clear about just what you accomplished:
EVERYTHING back-- Social Security, Medicare and all;
a "notice of deficiency" closing notice; an on-paper
agreement or acknowledgment that your earnings weren't
subject to the tax and everything withheld or paid-in
was an "overpayment"; a transcript showing all $0s;
or whatever happened.
When you speak of state victories, name
the state. If you had to overcome balkiness from a tax
agency before winning any victory, describe that, too!
If you're in a battle now, speak of your
resolve to uphold the law, come what may. If you haven't
yet begun to act, speak of your decision to do so, and
your plans.
Remember, your purpose is to INSPIRE, ENCOURAGE
and ENERGIZE.
If you're dealing with ongoing balkiness,
describe that, too, if you wish-- but be sure to explain
why you're not discouraged, and why you are not standing
down, not slinking back into the barn, and not choosing
to endorse the lies.
Mention what you do for a living, whether
you're a doctor, homemaker, lawyer, trucker, IT guy
or gal, or a retiree or student. Help people understand
that the company of grown-up activist Americans they
are being invited to join cuts across all demographics
and all interests-- with the common denominator being
respect for the law and love of the principles on which
this great country was founded.
This is your chance to get a LOT accomplished.
We've all had frustrating occasions of
trying to explain all this to a friend, neighbor, family
member or co-worker, only to pile up against the wall
of a mind not yet ready to listen and learn. Here is
your chance to address a self-selected audience of folks
who have themselves decided that it's time for them
to begin paying attention, and have clicked on your
testimonial for exactly that reason.
Further, think about this: You want judges,
bureaucrats, CPAs, lawyers, the HR people where you
work, your pastors, your neighbors and everyone else
to acknowledge the truth about the tax openly and straightforwardly.
How and why would these folks do this if YOU won't?
You want these folks to learn the truth.
Why would they even recognize that there is a truth
to be learned if you won't attest to having learned
it yourself? You've got to stand up, face forward and
chin up and tell these folks that you have studied and
checked and verified and seen the evidence and seen
the government evasions and you know that the tax is
not the capitation that the beneficiary government wants
everyone to think it is but a benign, but strictly limited
thing, and that they need to study and learn that, too.
Again, if you have victories to show, that's
nice, and powerful, too. But you don't have to have
victories to display in order to declare your knowledge
of what the law says. I've never flown around the world,
but I've seen the evidence and considered the arguments,
and I'm not hesitant to declare it a sphere...
Even those of you who haven't yet studied
CtC have surely read
this short document, and have verified everything
in it for yourself. You should therefore be declaring
its veracity and its message, loud and proud. Again,
if you won't say it, how can you hope that others will
ever even bother to look at the facts?
Be the change you want to see in the world,
or there won't be any change.
So, please make and send those videos
right away! You can share them with me via a cloud-based
drive space like OneDrive.Live.com or GoogleDrive, or
mail DVDs to me at 232 Oriole St., Commerce Twp., Michigan
48382, or even email to me if each file is no more than
20 megs (and you can break a video up if need be-- I
can reassemble them). Render as .mpg or mp4, if possible;
if not, send them how you have them and I'll make them
work.
Remember, the restoration of institutional
respect for individual rights and the rule of law depends
on enough individuals insisting upon it. Do your part
to let those starting to rub the sleep from their eyes
know that there is a community already waiting for their
fellowship with open arms and open hearts and shining
spirits.
See how some of your fellow warriors for
the truth have done their parts in videos sent over
the years, many of which are posted
here.

brushfires of freedom in the minds of men."
Getting Free Of The "Income" Tax Scheme Is As Easy As
Falling Off A Bike
To get an idea of how today's "income" tax scheme works,
try this little exercise:
Think of the federal government as a guy named Bob,
who lives down the street from you in a town that is
really big on bicycles. Bikes get used for commuting,
deliveries, shopping, etc.. In fact, other than walking,
bicycles are the exclusive form of transportation in
your town.
Your neighbor Bob has a by-the-mile bicycle-renting
business-- "Bob's Bicycles". Bob's Bicycles is far and
away the biggest business in town.
Part of Bob’s success is because he does a lot of contract
business. However, Bob doesn't just get paid by riders
who have signed an agreement with him, or even just
those using Bob's bikes. Bob gets something every time
anybody in town does any riding at all, through an odd
combination of circumstances that took many years to
come together.
Here's how it happened...
Bob's Bicycles was launched long ago by the great grandfather
of the present Bob (Bob IV). Great Grandpa Bob started
out not only with a main location for his contract business--
he also had the bright idea of setting up spots around
town where he parked some of his bikes for use by the
more occasional rider, on an "honor system". Anyone
could take and use one of these bikes, but they were
expected to keep track of their mileage, and send Bob
a "1040 Mileage Ridden/Rent Due Form" (and the appropriate
rent), periodically. The initial design of the form
was like this:
I, ______________,
rode a Bob's Bicycle a total of _____ miles
this year.
At Bob's rental
rate of $.15 per mile, I owe Bob $______
I said that Great Grandpa Bob planned to deal with these
occasional riders on the "honor system", and that's
true. But he liked his money, too, and didn't want to
miss anything that was due him. So, after setting up
the "self-serve" locations, Great Grandpa Bob went around
handing out "W-2, 1099 or K-1 Rider Reporting Forms"
to every other business in town. The forms-- accompanied
by notices that if Bob didn't get his rent from someone
riding a bicycle in connection with any business, he
would sue the company involved-- said:
You Can’t Fight Well When You Don’t Know
What You’re Fighting About
If you are having an argument
with the IRS or any other tax agency,
You are NOT being presumed to have made “corporate
profit”.
You are NOT being alleged to have received “foreign
income”.
You are NOT entangled in an invisible “adhesion
contract”.
You are NOT being obligated by a law whose subject
is never identified.
You are being targeted because REAL EVIDENCE exists
that YOU PERSONALLY HAD “INCOME” to which the revenue laws apply--
even though that evidence is almost certainly incorrect,
and CAN be corrected.
CtC WarriorSanDiegoScott has put together
a great little 20-question quiz to test your knowledge of the law
regarding the United States "income" tax. Test yourself, test your
friends and family! Test your accountant and tax attorney, and help
them learn the liberating truth!!
"Never must thou take up a false cry, or join hands
with the guilty by giving false witness in their favor. Never must
thou follow with the crowd in doing wrong, or be swayed by many
voices so as to give false judgment; even pity for the poor must
not sway thee when judgment is to be given."
-Exodus 23:1-3
Doing A Little High-Payoff Math
If each person receiving this newsletter each week distributed as
few as 100 of any of
the great outreach tools featured here to co-workers, friends,
neighbors and family members (or just strangers on the street, in
the mall, etc...), we could have SEVERAL MILLION new Americans
suddenly introduced to the liberating truth about the tax!
Just like that! In one week!
C'mon, people, let's roll on this!
“Most of the important things in the
world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when
there seemed to be no hope at all.”
When directed to a page by topic or link, read everything.
I know that this can mean the investment of a lot of time, attention
and effort, but although some may imagine otherwise, I don't write
as much as I do because I can't think of any other way to spend
my time...
Furthermore, when you encounter a hyperlink within, or associated
with, the text you are reading, follow it!
It is pretty common these days for web-based material to be littered
with hyperlinks. Sometimes the purpose is to provide definitions
or examples, in order to ensure that folks reading the original
material aren't presented with a word or reference which they don't
understand. Sometimes the links lead to illustrations pertinent
to the original text.
It is common-- and perfectly understandable-- for folks who are
confident that they are familiar with language or references within
the main text they are reading to get in the habit of skipping over
included links. I do it all the time, myself!
However, I very rarely include links for definitional or explanatory
purposes; and when I DO make a link out of text in one page it is
generally to another self-contained page, rather than merely illustrative
material. These other pages contain material the clear understanding
of which I deem highly important for the proper and complete understanding
of the original page. (Links to
CtC, the
Victories pages,
CtC Warriors and so on are obvious exceptions to this general
rule. On the other hand, a link to the victory
Highlights or 'Every
Which Way But Loose' pages, which might seem like such exceptions,
are not. The special selection of victories on those pages, and
the filed docs and tax-agency correspondences included therewith,
themselves constitute highly instructive material which merits careful
attention. Thus care needs to be taken in all cases.)
Please make a habit of clicking on all provided links and at least
looking briefly to ensure that the linked page is one with which
you are completely familiar from another study session.
Finally, please keep in mind that, annoying though it may seem at
first blush (but not, I trust, upon reflection), I constantly tweak
material already posted. Obviously this doesn't mean that every
page is in flux at all times, but it does mean that if you are directed
to a page that IS familiar, it's worthwhile to read it through again
if it's been a while since your last having done so.
