(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!

I'm delighted when anyone wishes to share what I have posted here with others! Sharing this page is an important means of moving toward the restoration of the rule of law-- PLEASE DO IT!! But I'd appreciate your doing so by directing your friends here themselves, rather than by copying and emailing the material.

100 Million Productive Americans Will Stop Sending Money To Leviathan...

...meaning that every year $1 trillion will be taken away from the Deep State, the warfare state, the "destabilize" state, the panopticon state, the drug-war state, the poke-its-fingers-into-everything state, the enemy-of-liberty state...

...if YOU diligently and creatively help spread what I have revealed, explained and thoroughly proven about the income tax.

The overwhelming majority of those who learn this liberating information will immediately stand up and act. Nothing could stop them.

Already, tens of thousands of productive American men and women who earn good livings and previously got taken for an average of $10K each every year no longer pay any income tax-- Social Security, Medicare, state and local taxes included. Every tax agency in the country participates in this unprecedented transformational process, which has been going on steadily for nearly a decade-and-a-half.

IF I HAD THE MEANS of spreading this information broadly, America would, RIGHT NOW, be well on its way back to the Constitutionally-limited republic which prevailed, for the most part, for 140 years until the tax-misapplication scheme was rolled-out in the early 1940s. At the least, Leviathan would have a lot less easy money with which to finance its bad behavior (see this for some discussion of how things would change).

You might tell yourself that the state would turn to other options for that financing, but it's not so. Think about it for a moment and you'll realize that none of those alternatives are free of very considerable political hindrances-- which is why the misapplication of the income tax was resorted-to in the first place.

The fact is, what I have revealed about the income tax is the answer to the problem of Leviathan.

PLEASE help spread this liberating, state-restraining information!!

Victory After Victory After Victory

The parade of real American heroes marches on.

MATT & KATIE start us off with a nice federal victory for 2016. These real American grown-ups filed this return, claiming the return of everything withheld from them last year. After dealing with this little "identity-challenge" speed-bump, Matt and Katie got their complete refund, plus a little interest owed to them thanks to the brief agency-initiated delay:

P. S. Matt and Katie took the extra step of sending me Matt's W-2 and asking me to post it to show that the amount refunded was, indeed, the total withheld; see it here.

***

SANDY D. shares a complete victory from Georgia concerning 2016-- the return of every penny withheld against a tax for which her earnings proved to not qualify:

Here is the filing that secured Sandy's victory for the law.

***

C. WALKER AND HIS WIFE have also secured a complete refund of everything withheld from them in 2016 and given over to their home state, plus interest:

Here is the filing that produced this second complete refund in as many years for the Walkers.

(As indicated at the bottom of this overpayment acknowledgement/refund and interest notice, this year's North Carolina refund for the Walkers was diverted to retire an alleged outstanding liability to Uncle Sam and thus didn't take the form of a check.)

***

MARTHA B. shares her federal victory for 2015:

Martha's victory was secured by way of this filing (in which Martha, for reasons of her own, chose not to claim back what had been withheld as the Medicare surtax). Note that the United States properly added interest to Martha's refund.

***

FINALLY, I'M DELIGHTED TO POST A VERY SPECIAL VICTORY-- a flat, spanking defeat on appeal of an IRS attempt to falsely characterize and penalize a CtC-educated filing as "frivolous" under 26 U.S.C. § 6702. While this is actually the second such instance overall (see the first here), it is the first in the nearly ten years since the bogus "frivolous" discouragement campaign began in earnest.

Most "frivolous" assertions by the IRS don't ever get to the point of immanent "collection" and an appeal proceeding. Most of the relatively small number of these lawless ventures by the agency just quietly go away when the filer makes clear that he or she isn't having any of the nonsense.

But, as sometimes happens, an eager-beaver at the agency couldn't let go after "asserting" the penalty in regard to George in Virginia's 2015 federal return. This gave George his opportunity to read the law to the off-kilter agency, and the outcome couldn't be more clear:

Here is George's return. (It will be noted that even though declaring $0 in FICA "wages", George did not claim the return of FICA withholdings for reasons of his own).

Here is the argument George submitted* in his appeal last month once it become clear that the eager-beaver IRS agent didn't have the brains to stand down.

And here is the IRS Appeals Office Notice of Determination in regard to George's challenge of the alleged "frivolous" and penalty-liable character of his return.

Oh, and btw... George got the refund sought in his filing... (he's looking for the documentation, and I'll post as soon as I have it).

WELL DONE, George!!

But watch out for that robot... I think it's going to explode!!

*I am obliged to point out one mistake in George's argument, concerning the government's authority to levy. This sub-argument was irrelevant to George's "frivolous" challenge, but I have a responsibility for the clarity and accuracy of all information presented on these pages.

Contrary to what is argued in George's submission on pp. 4 & 5, the levy authority extends to anyone liable for a tax. The list of persons in 26 U.S.C. § 6331(a) is not of those who can be levied, it is of those who can be levied by mere "notice of levy", as opposed to a normal adversarial legal proceeding.

HATS OFF to Matt, Katie, Sandy, the Walkers, Martha B. and Virginia George! Gotta love these heroic Americans who have stepped up and acted to restrain the dangerous and corrupt state and uphold the rule of law-- something desperately needed from everyone.

Today's posted victories join those of the tens of thousands of other awakened and activated Americans represented here. Each one is another critical step toward the restoration of the Founders republic and the true rule of law.

I say to all these wonderful folks, "THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!"

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!

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

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

*****

Government Facts They Absolutely Can't Teach You In School

...in some cases simply because they're not "facts".

I HAD A VIDEO LINK sent to me by someone last week titled 'Government Facts They Absolutely Can't Teach You In School'. Upon beginning to watch, I was pretty pleased.

The first two "fact" presentations, concerning police violence in America and ethanol were powerful and addressed serious issues needing attention of just the sort given in the film. I can't vouch for the statistics cited in those pieces, but they seem to be in line with what I do know off the top of my head concerning those subjects.

However, I'm sorry to say that the thing promptly goes sideways. The next two items, nonsensical assertions about the USA being defined in the law as a corporation and the Federal Reserve being purely private, rob this otherwise good effort of all its virtue.

IN THE FIRST OF THESE two errors, the film-maker opens up title 28 § 3002 and shows us just this:

(15) “United States” means—

(A) a Federal corporation;

(B) an agency, department, commission, board, or other entity of the United States; or

(C) an instrumentality of the United States.

The film's narrator presents this as evidence that "in the law" the United States is really a corporation, implicitly a private exploitive project of some un-named cabal.

However, and just to begin with, 28 § 3002 actually reads,

28 § 3002- Definitions

As used in this chapter:

...

(15) “United States” means—

(A) a Federal corporation;

(B) an agency, department, commission, board, or other entity of the United States; or

(C) an instrumentality of the United States.

That "As used in this chapter" is more than just a little important, even if that were all that could be said. Whatever else is true, when a qualifier of that sort exists, it means just what it says-- whatever follows is NOT a general definition or declaration, but only one operating in a specialized context.

But that isn't all, here. Even in this chapter, "United States" isn't being declared to be, and isn't defined as, "a corporation'.

What is being said here is that any federal corporation (of which there are hundreds), and any agency, department, commission, board, instrumentality or other entity of the United States is to be considered covered by the term "the United States" when that term appears in this chapter (which concerns civil debt-recovery procedures). That is, when some provision in the chapter says, "The United States may....", that permission is being given to all possible "United States" actors. (See more on this error in recognizing context in the debunk of the "IRS is not an agency of the United States" foolishness here.)

THE FILM NEXT RECITES ANOTHER unfortunately common "tax honesty" myth to the effect that the Federal Reserve is an entirely private affair. This one is closer to accurate, but still not quite.

The Federal Reserve structure, while certainly having private actors involved, and having private profits being made (to a certain extent), is, in fact, a federal instrumentality-- an entity not outright federal in all respects, but one which performs the functions of a public office nonetheless. Here is how the 9th Circuit put it in 1982 when challenged on this precise point:

The Reserve Banks have properly been held to be federal instrumentalities for some purposes. In United States v. Hollingshead, 672 F.2d 751 (9th Cir. 1982), this court held that a Federal Reserve Bank employee who was responsible for recommending expenditure of federal funds was a "public official" under the Federal Bribery Statute. That statute broadly defines public official to include any person acting "for or on behalf of the Government." S. Rep. No. 2213, 87th Cong., 2nd Sess. (1962), reprinted in (1962) U.S. Code Cong. & Ad. News 3852, 3856. See 18 U.S.C. § 201(a). The test for determining status as a public official turns on whether there is "substantial federal involvement" in the defendant's activities. United States v. Hollingshead, 672 F.2d at 754.

Lewis v. United States, 680 F.2d 1239 (9th CA 1982)

See more about this subject here (and see some related material that many will find of interest here).

AFTER THESE TWO BITS OF NONSENSE the video jinks back on track, and stays there. But it only takes a tiny speck of poo on a plate to spoil the whole meal.

Further, operating as YouTube channels often do, the end of the video I was watching became the beginning of another. Who knows what nonsense might go on display next, guaranteed to plant brambles in the mental landscape of those who see it?

LET'S ALL REMEMBER that confusion serves the real “income” tax scheme as well as all the exploitive and liberty-diminishing schemes with which Americans are assailed today. They are an infection we all need to cure.

After all, anyone whose introduction to the notion of official bad behavior is marred by errors will ultimately be lost to the cause. The nonsense will inevitably will be revealed as such one way or another and the initiate, thus burned once and warned twice to be wary, won't afterward stand and listen with an open mind to even the clearest bell of perfect truth on this subject.

SO, EVERYONE WILL DO WELL to be familiar with these errors, and why they are errors. That will equip each person to be a light-bringer whenever light is needed.

Spend whatever time is needed on this page to become an expert and confident debunker of the chief bits of confusion-generating nonsense persistently circulating among activists (or persistently injected into circulation by the enemies of the truth, a very likely thing in many cases). Be an active debunker everywhere the opportunity arises; tolerate no pollution of errors and lies, which are the enemies of your liberty and well-being.

Remember, friends don't let friends spread nonsense.

The Biggest Snow-Job In World History: The Myth That 1913 America Adopted A Marxist Progressive Tax On "All That Comes In"

Regarding Trolleries

(Deceitful efforts to discourage Americans from learning the truth about the "income tax")

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.

Are the presentations and resources offered on this site and in my other work of any value to you?

Tim Kendrick has posted a video on YouTube regarding donations. I didn't know what to do about it to begin with; I don't do what I do intending for anyone to feel obligated in any way.

But of course, no one IS obligated. I will continue to make my work freely-available here, and in my books for only the cost of a cheap paperback.

Thus, even though I post it here below, Tim's very thoughtful personal resolution and encouragement to others is just an invitation for consideration by those who may not be conscious of the fact that I can't do what I do without support. No one is to feel any pressure from it; if it moves anyone to act let it be solely because it seems right.

Why Does The Government Lie About 'Cracking the Code'?

THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION is the key to the restoration of the republic and the rule of law in America. See it below. (NOTE: It's very important that the entire 24 minutes be viewed.)

This video can also be found on YouTube at https://youtu.be/hgzzYl-eeUI.

Here are links to the two pages to which viewers are directed at the end of the film: The Crime of the Century and The Truth About The 16th Amendment.

The other two mentioned in the film are this one (the "bulletin board" stack of 1,200 or so posted refunds and other victories in knowledgably applying the law; and this one (the collection of resisted claims and the outcomes of those little battles).

PLEASE be a real activist about sending this link to every single person in your address book, and about sharing it through facebook, reddit, twitter, and any other distribution channel with which you are familiar. Send it to every journalist you can. It's time to really make something happen.

Accompany your emails and posts with with a strong admonishment to watch the film through, and that doing so will show the viewer an individual-empowering, state-restraining truth about the income tax which the government has been trying to keep hidden from view for 75 years and which that person really needs to know.

BY THE WAY, as is impossible to miss, I have neither the skills nor the tools to make even moderately good films. This is simply not my forte. Anyone able to do better is encouraged to talk to me about that.

As is ALSO impossible to miss, though-- even in my amateur production-- reader video testimonials have GREAT POWER. Send me yours.

Two Simple Questions For Every Silent "Alt-Media" Journalist

The silence of these folks is the liberation bottleneck. Maybe this'll help, if enough people ask...

HERE'S A SIMPLE QUESTION: The income tax is, and always has been, an excise tax on privilege. This is established beyond any controversy whatever by repeated Supreme Court rulings, the words of the related laws, and, since 2003, by hundreds of thousands of acknowledgements by federal and state tax agencies.

You, like most folks, have been fooled into inadvertently agreeing that your economic activities are exercises of privilege, thereby allowing the tax to be applied to your earnings. Why is this so hard for you to admit?

HERE'S ANOTHER SIMPLE QUESTION: You and everyone else being fooled into agreeing that your economic activities are privileged and thereby allowing them to be taxed is what enables the flow of wealth that finances all the bad things done by the state of which you complain in every column. Why is this so hard for you to admit?

I GUESS THESE ACTUALLY LEAD TO A THIRD SIMPLE QUESTION: If you really feel that all these things of which you complain are so bad, why are you not helping more Americans understand the true nature of the tax and the ill effects of it being misunderstood and misapplied?

Media Evasion Of CtC Must End, Now

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

 

Illuminating Anniversaries: July 7- In 1863, The Union institutes a draft during the War Between The States-- exemptions are available for $100.  In 1898, Hawaii is annexed by the United States.  In 2005 four explosions occur in the British mass-transit system, duplicating in remarkably precise detail the storyline of a "training exercise" against possible "terrorism" being conducted in exactly the same locations at exactly the same times.  The event briefly raises Prime Minister Tony Blair's abysmal approval rating to it's highest point in two years, before it drops again back into the low 30s.

  

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...

Just to be clear, "he" doesn’t need to be the passive object of a "WITCH HUNT" by "they". If Donald Trump had any kind of presidential strategy and propensity to take command, he would have had all the intercepts of Russian chatter gathered up weeks ago. He would then have had them declassified and made public, even as he launched a criminal prosecution against Obama’s hit squad – John Brennan, Susan Rice and Valerie Jarrett – for illegally unmasking and leaking classified information. Such a course of action would have crushed the Russian interference hysteria in the bud. At bottom, the latter was a rearguard invention of the Deep State and Democratic partisans. They became literally shocked and desperate for a scapegoat early last fall by the prospect that the unthinkable was happening. Namely, the election by the unwashed masses of an outsider and insurrectionist who could not be counted upon to serve as a "trusty" for the status quo; and whose naïve but correct instinct to seek a rapprochement with Russia was a mortal threat to the very modus operandi of the Imperial City.

Last Word

"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains set lightly upon you; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."

-Samuel Adams, Architect of the First American Revolution

About The Author

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

Hendrickson is also a widely-read essayist on matters of politics, public policy and law; many of these works are collected in his second book, ‘Upholding the Law And Other Observations’. He is a member of Mensa; an award-winning artist; and has paid his dues as a youth soccer coach. He is a long-time political activist as well, and has served as co-chair and platform convention delegate of Michigan’s largest county Libertarian Party organization; as a consultant to the National Right to Work Foundation and Citizens for a Sound Economy; as a member of the Heartland Institute; and as a member of the International Society for Individual Liberty. He is a frequent radio-show guest on stations across the country.

Hendrickson's business career has included nearly a decade-and-a-half at the leading edge of the renewable-energy industry, both as Director of Purchasing and Materials Management and member of the R&D board at Starpak Energy Systems, the mid-west's then-largest solar heating and energy-recovery-and re-utilization company; and as founder and president of AFJ Inc., a high-efficiency lighting design, manufacture and installation firm.

Beginning in the mid-1990s and continuing for the twelve years before his present full-time focus on the restoration of the rule of law in America, Hendrickson directed purchasing activities for the $84 million-a-year multi-family-housing division of the Farmington Hills, Michigan branch of Edward Rose and Sons, with responsibility for 18,000+ apartments, direct supervision of 35 technicians and agents, and incidental authority over several hundred divisional workers. He also ran the division's 10 cable television earth-station and distribution systems in four states, and designed and administered the company's website.

On rather the other end of the spectrum, amidst these more mundane pursuits Hendrickson co-founded and was the primary creative force behind a small board- and card-game company that enjoyed a modest success for several years.

Hendrickson makes his home in southeast Michigan, with his wife and two children. He is currently working on his next book.
