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...

THIS FILE Remains The Proper Focus Of Our Attention

This is a serious weapon of mass instruction, and getting it out there is job one.

WAKING PEOPLE UP to two key realities of the income tax* is all that this community has ever needed to do in order to restore the rule of law in that area. Nothing more than notice is required-- upon simply being shown reasonably clear iterations of the relevant facts each person can then make the rest of the cognitive journey on his or her own (albeit each at his or her own personal percolation pace).

This file, first introduced last week, will accomplish that end. It will do so without needing any complicated presentations of law; without having to overcome skepticism about how or why victories happen; and without vulnerability to the effects of the deferential disease under which coppertop-types reflexively imagine that done by government must therefore be honest and virtuous and right.

This file shows two simple things-- beyond misunderstanding and beyond dispute:

1. What the Supreme Court actually says about the income tax, and

2. That after waiting several decades for the rulings (still the law of the land, but now quite old) to fade from common memory, lower federal courts and the IRS began outright lying about those rulings in order to pretend that authority exists for applying the tax as though it is not an excise tax.

Let's be clear-- these are not lies about the meaning of the Supreme Court rulings. These are actual statements putting words in the high court's mouth that it not only never said, but which the unanimous Supreme Court actually and expressly says are not true.

There is no level of falseness more complete than what has been done here. Nor is there any which is more plainly done, in simple black-and-white easily within the reach of any eighth-grade school kid.

What's more, the deception revealed in this file automatically and inescapably reveals that the tax-regime for which the falsifications of the Supreme Court rulings are done is NOT authorized. The deception reveals that the "all that comes in" tax as experienced by most Americans all their lives is, in fact, prohibited (and always has been).

THE DOCUMENT IN THE FILE goes on to show the limitations on the tax that the deception strives to evade. It also offers a bit on the corrupt cover-up resorted-to by the deceivers since the lie was first laid bare 14 years ago.

But those latter portions are very nearly superfluous. The nature and particulars of the deception-- and their inescapable implications-- suffice by themselves to throw open the curtain and let the morning sunlight pour in to awaken anyone who gives them even a brief contemplation.

GET THIS FILE OUT THERE!!!

There shouldn't be a single lawyer, judge, CPA, journalist or acquaintance known to anyone seeing these words who doesn't get presented with this file and asked (or made) to comment on it.

The consciousness-raising potential of this file is enormous. Get it out there, please.

The litigation-utility potential of this file is also enormous. Anyone facing any effort to resist or discourage filings which properly treat the tax as an excise should use this material to crush the opposition's false pretenses.

GET THIS FILE OUT THERE!!!

*For those wanting a bit more of a summary of "the two realities" for purposes of introducing this file when sending it around, here is a nutshell presentation:

ONE OF THE TWO REALITIES of the income tax is that as actually written in the law, as authorized Constitutionally and as faithfully administered from 1862 until the early 1940s, the tax is of very limited application. As it actually exists in law, the income tax is able to touch only those folks who have freely chosen to engage in specialized profitable conduct to which the tax can attach (like national bankers, military contractors, public officials and CIA and NSA personnel, for example).

In fact, the actual income tax is hugely favorable to the interests of the vast majority of productive Americans and to general good governance as well. Indeed, the ACTUAL income tax is SO benign and beneficial to most Americans that back when everyone knew its true nature a Constitutional amendment was adopted just to allow it to resume operation after a fat-cat railroad-investor plaintiff had convinced the Supreme Court to shield his stock dividends from the tax under a quirky legal rationale in 1895.

THE OTHER REALITY ABOUT THE TAX to which this community needs to alert its fellow Americans is that since the early 1940s an increasingly corrupt money-and-power hungry state has perpetrated a subterfuge involving publicly-pronounced falsifications about the tax provisions in the US Constitution and the exploitation of tax-code complexity. By virtue of this scam the tax is imposed upon earnings to which it doesn't really apply by tricking the unwary into allowing those untaxable earnings to be treated as though they are from specialized taxable conduct.

This Week's Victories By This Week's Heroes

A Warrior's fourth victory in 12 months; a debut victory; and a courteous IRS addition of overlooked SS and Medicare withholdings to a refund claim!

BRIAN WRIGHT, WHOSE MICHIGAN REFUND FOR 2016 graced this page two weeks ago (just as his Michigan and federal refunds for 2015 did a year ago), is now able to share his refund of everything withheld from him and given to the feds during 2016-- Social security, Medicare and all:

Here is the filing that produced Brian's latest victory for the rule of law. Here, too, is something else Brian asked me to post: Note To The Community.

***

BEN FROM CALIFORNIA joins Brian for accolades today, with his first victory-- a complete refund from his home state of everything withheld during 2016:

Here is the filing that secured Ben's victory for the law, and the California notice concerning his claim.

***

FINALLY, YOUNG WARRIOR DESIREE STUMO shares her first victory in enforcing the rule of law, and does so with the nice symbolic touch of a "Rogue One" T-shirt:

Not a lot of money being recaptured, but that's not the point. What matters is to whom that money really belongs, and whether the rule of law will prevail in America, or whether we'll only have whatever suits the state.

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE to this small refund story than even just the critically-important matters of principle and power mentioned above. In Desiree's case a really notable and unusual respect for the law played out, and this time I'm not talking about Desiree's respect for the law.

You see, this young lady made a monetarily tiny, but practically very significant mistake on her filing. When entering the amount of federal tax withheld on line 64 of her 1040, Desiree neglected to add the amounts withheld for Social security and Medicare surtaxes to the amount withheld under the generic expression "federal income tax".

Desiree should have done so. ALL of these are federal income taxes, and if one didn't receive the "wages" on the alleged basis of which nominal federal income taxes get withheld, then one didn't receive the "wages" on the alleged basis of which the FICA taxes can properly be withheld.

It's a very forgivable mistake. Doing an educated filing for the first time can be a bit nerve-wracking, and just knowing that one has to be looking out for special terms on the forms, and that to a very great degree those forms are designed to mislead, can itself result in being misled.

NOW, NORMALLY A MISTAKE LIKE DESIREE'S is happily capitalized on by the IRS (literally). The agency just keeps what has not been reclaimed, despite surely being cognizant of the error, and that the FICA amounts are not owed. It is then rudely left to the claimant to go to the trouble of filing an amended return to get the rest of his or her money back.

But not this time. This time the IRS took a step up from the basement in which it usually conducts its affairs. Like an actual servant of the public, someone at the agency took it upon him or herself to correct Desiree's calculations by adding the withheld Social security and Medicare taxes to her claim and cutting her refund check for the whole amount.

Here is Desiree's filing. Look at the withheld amounts on the 4852s, the refund claim on page 2 of the 1040, and the amount refunded on the check proudly shown above by this fine young American grown-up.

I say "Hats Off!" to this unknown bureaucrat. He or she has proven that real Americans can be found even where one might least expect (or that people in the agency have been paying attention to what they, too, have had the opportunity to learn over the last 14 years).

AND, OF COURSE, HATS OFF to Brian, Ben and Desiree herself. Gotta love all of these heroic Americans!

Brian, Ben and Desiree have stepped up and acted to restrain the dangerous and corrupt state and uphold the rule of law, something desperately needed from everyone. Their victories join those of the tens of thousands of other awakened and activated Americans represented here, and are 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!

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

-Mohandas Gandhi

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

*****

Sorting Out Seth Rich

Common-sense versus the spin-doctors.

EVEN IF ALL THERE WAS to work with was the overly-strident scorn directed at the subject by the swamp creatures, the story of Seth Rich would merit at least passing attention. But there's more-- a good deal more.

I don't claim to have made an in-depth study of the matter, nor have I any inside knowledge. Nonetheless, when laid out for consideration all at the same time, just the things widely known about the matter paint a pretty compelling picture in the simple light of common sense. I'm going to do that "laying out" below, and we'll see if you end up agreeing with me.

FIRST, THOUGH, FOR THOSE COMPLETELY UNFAMILIAR, Seth Rich is the former DNC computer systems staffer gunned-down in Georgetown at 4 AM with a couple of shots in the back a short time after WikiLeaks was given the 44,000+ email dump that showed, among other things, that the DNC was shafting Bernie Sanders in favor of Hillary Clinton's campaign. These revelations quickly led to the resignation in disgrace of Debbie Wasserman Schultz, then chair of the DNC.

The acquisition and transfer of these emails has been risibly-- and without a shred of evidence-- ascribed to Vlad Putin and/or the Russians generally. This is part of the swamp-thing propaganda drumbeat meant to forestall any rapprochemént with Russia as threatened (or refreshingly promised) by Trump during his presidential campaign (the difference depending on whether you're an arms merchant, a bring-on-the-rapture world-burner or a Deep State imperialist psychopath, or you're a rational human being).

Against this agenda-serving "Russians did it" absurdity, Seth Rich has very plausibly (and by several witnesses) been identified as the actual source of the emails. He is said to have secured and delivered them, as a lone wolf, due to his disgust with the DNC and Clinton crowd's subversion of the democratic process.

If Rich really is the lone source of the emails, of course, the whole "Russians did it; beware the evil Rooskies!" thing evaporates.

WITH THAT FOR INTRODUCTION and background, here is a list in no particular order of facts associated with the Seth Rich story. I think all or even any handful of these facts strongly indicate possible substance to the "Seth is the whistle-blowing hero!" conclusion.

At the very least these facts should take the ghost-wind out of the sails of the raggedy "Russians did it" pirate ship (which has never been supported by a shred of actual evidence). With luck they will contribute to the sinking of that scurvy-ridden and scabrous thing, which is just a vehicle for the continued hi-jacking of United States policy to the service of a bloated and increasingly dangerous military-industrial hydra.

The Facts:

• Bernie Sanders was getting screwed by Clinton and her corrupt cronies in the DNC.

• Seth Rich worked at the DNC, in its electronic data department, probably giving him particularly easy access to email troves, both so as to learn what what in them, and to make copies.

• Rich would have known about Sanders getting screwed, and if he was a decent guy, would have cared and would have wanted to expose the crime.

• Rich was killed apparently just a short time after the emails were given to WikiLeaks (and WikiLeaks posted them just days after Rich's murder).

• WikiLeaks immediately offered a reward for the apprehension of Rich's murderer(s)-- a completely inexplicable act unless Rich was their source. Otherwise he would be nothing at all to them.

• It is said by the those who seek to deep-six speculation about his possibly being the whistle-blower on the DNC crimes that Rich was shot during a "botched robbery". But in addition to the fact that nothing was taken from him (despite him having around $2,000 in valuables on his person at the time), Rich was shot in the back (and twice). When an armed robbery ends in a shooting due to having gone sideways, the victim gets shot in the front (and usually only once).

• Journalist, filmmaker and WikiLeaks member Gavin McFadyen (died October 2016) stated that Rich was the guy who exposed the DNC crimes and gave the evidence to WikiLeaks.

• The FBI has never itself looked at the DNC email servers allegedly hacked by the Russians. Instead it has relied entirely on the unproven assertions of 'Crowdstrike', a private cybersecurity firm hired by a DNC with an obvious interest in downplaying the idea that one of its own staffers was so disgusted by its crimes as to expose them, and which is run by people with an obvious interest in promoting the idea that Hillary Clinton wasn't beaten fair and square but that instead the presidency was stolen from her by the evil Russians and their illegitimate puppet-president Donald Trump.

• Regardless of what 'Crowdstrike' really did or didn't find in the DNC servers, it has recently been revealed (thanks to the ever-important WikiLeaks) that over the last few years the CIA specifically developed tools for leaving false-flag indicators of Russian hacking in email servers (in another time one might have wondered why the agency would want such things, but not now...).

• The point above notwithstanding, there never HAS been any evidence of any kind brought to light that the Russians had anything to do with the DNC email/crimes exposure.

There are certainly many more salient facts that could be added to this list. As time goes on I may add more that aren't coming to mind just now, or that others may bring to my attention. Either way, it seems clear that there should be a great deal more official and journalistic attention paid to the Seth Rich story, and every noisemaker that attacks the subject as not worthy of such attention is a spin-doctor at work on behalf of an agenda in which truth is not paramount.

BTW, the "MSM" line on the Seth Rich story is a classic example of confidently-asserted bull-deuce. For instance, see this from the Wikipedia entry on the murder of Seth Rich:

The murder spawned several right-wing conspiracy theories about the crime, including the groundless claim that Rich had been involved with the leaked DNC emails in 2016, and purporting a connection between the incident and the fictional Pizzagate conspiracy theory.[5] These claims have been debunked by law enforcement[6][7][8] as well as by fact-checking websites like PolitiFact,[7] Snopes.com,[9] and FactCheck.org,[6] and run contrary to U.S. intelligence that concluded the leaked DNC emails were part of 2016 U.S. elections interference.[6][7][10] The fabrications were described as fake news and falsehoods by The New York Times,[11] The Washington Post,[12] Los Angeles Times.[13]

Note the various deceptions and strawman attacks littering this single paragraph. For instance, this propaganda describes speculation that Rich may have been involved with the DNC email leak as a "claim", in an effort to smear the speculators as asserting things not proven, and further, describes the "claim" as "groundless"-- itself an unproven assertion.

This piece asserts that Rich-leak speculators link their "claims" to the "Pizzagate" notion (a hyperventilated proposition that Hillary Clinton and others, such as Anthony Weiner, husband of Clinton's closest aide and recently-convicted child sex-criminal, have a secret child-molestation thing going which is connected to a DC pizza shop). Personally, I've never heard or seen any such linkage in any story by anyone speculating about Rich and the DNC e-mail leak. This is another classic smear-fallacy deployed against unwanted ideas by those who can't prove their own case.

The spin goes on to say: "These claims have been debunked by law enforcement, blah, blah blah...". None of that is true at all.

There's only one way speculation about Seth Rich's possible involvement in the DNC email leaks can be "debunked", and that is by proving that someone else did it, without his involvement. This has glaringly never been done by "law enforcement", the "intelligence community", Snopes, Politifact, FactCheck, the NYT, WaPo, the LAT or anyone else.

Indeed, the utter failure of any of these organs to have come up with a single bit of actual evidence connecting their preferred speculative responsible party to the DNC leaks is the dominant feature of the whole story. A year's worth of heavy investigation by all those intelligence and law enforcement agencies and "investigative journalists", even including at first denied but later confirmed wiretapping (meaning surveillance and communications-content scrutiny) of the Trump people these folks accuse of collusion with the Russians (plus, of course, routine wiretapping of the Russians themselves), has yielded zip.

All told, the false spin against the Seth Rich speculations like that parsed out above, and the complete lack of evidence in favor of the Deep State's preferred alternative, suggest that an agenda, rather than the facts, is guiding official navigation through the DNC leak issue.

P. S. Anyone who harbors doubts about the possibility of the Clinton (or Democratic Party) machine being ready, willing and able to murder someone in punishment and/or as a deterrent to others should read this and this.

P. P. S. Get some important backstory on the demented and irresponsible Russophobia/Russia-baiting infecting Washington in the Other Voices article in this edition.

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?
