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 (fourteenth) 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.

Operation Wake-Up Call

If you really want your liberty NOW, you've got to help get the truth into circulation, people!

DO YOU WANT YOUR LIBERTY? Then you've got to help squash down into harmlessness the thing that takes it from you-- the unrestrained, over-funded, arrogant and corrupt state.

There is a way to do this-- and only one way: Upholding the Founders' Constitutional taxing-power limits by learning and using the information in CtC.

NOW, EACH PERSON CAN REGAIN CONTROL of his or her own wealth all on their own. But to be free of having to deal with the reclaim process, and to actually slash off the state's thousand destructive tentacles-- which otherwise will continue to harm even those who no longer directly feed the beast-- the misapplication of the income tax must be corrected on a wholesale level.

The only way that wholesale solution will be accomplished is by contributions from a lot more voices than just mine. You all must start doing your part to wake up your neighbors.

This "Operation Wake-Up Call" can mean as simple a thing as tweeting or redditting or facebook-posting links to this and this and this (with some little intro, such as, "Do you know the legal meaning of "excise"? You should..."). Better still, your Wake-up Call can be articles, short or long, explaining to people why the truth about the tax is so important, and/or how they are being corruptly kept from knowing that truth.

To help with that latter class of effort, I am going to offer sample article titles, in hope that they will stimulate and inspire. Each will contain a link to a source of relevant information which can be freely drawn-upon in writing the articles. Here is the inaugural offering:

Government Caught In Sleazy Hoax About CtC-Educated Returns Drawing "Frivolous Return" Penalties

And here is the source material on which you can freely draw in writing your articles (and for feedback on posts by others):

P.S. HERE'S AN ALTERNATIVE TITLE that can be drawn from the same source material:

Wake Up, America! Everything Adverse, Scary Or Discouraging Ever Said By Anyone About CtC Is Disinformation!!

MICHIGAN'S LEGISLATURE IS CONSIDERING a joint resolution (HJR N N) to put a measure on the ballot in November to amend Michigan's Constitution with an explicit criminalization of warrantless electronic surveillance of the sort practiced by the NSA and other federal agencies (and even a number of local police forces and sheriff's offices). The proposed amendment language tracks that of Missouri, approved by a whopping 75% of voters in 2014.

Michigan Tenth Amendment Center director Shane Trejo has written on this subject here.

Brian's Illustrated Refund Claim

A nice federal victory accompanied by graphics to help others and an excellent blog-post explaining it all

LIBERTARIAN ACTIVIST AND AUTHOR BRIAN WRIGHT celebrates his second educated-filing victory this week, adding a complete federal refund for 2015 (with interest) received last week to his complete Michigan refund for 2015 which was posted last spring. Here is the check:

...and here is the filing that produced that complete refund.

Here are Brian's introductory comments concerning educated filings that he wanted me to post for the benefit of others:

—Comment by Brian R. Wright—

It’s important for CtC filers to understand that they are dealing with an immense, ponderous, but rule-based system. The system will obey the rules, 99% of the time, and if you don’t raise any rule-defying flag, you’ll get your property back.

Nobody is out to get you for speaking out or being politically active; I, myself, am living proof of that: I wrote a book about Doreen’s ordeal (The Motor City Witchcraft Trials) and was a witness for Doreen at that proceeding. The prosecution, in front of the judge, quoted to the court from my Website, “… that this was a Kangaroo Court with a capital ‘K’… etc.” The prosecutor was outraged and the judge gave me a dirty look. They KNOW who I am and that I’ve pushed the boundaries of the 1st Amendment in condemning and ridiculing them.

[The only exception is if from very high in the management of that system, they want to single you out because you are threatening to expose them—as the diabolical Men of the Power Sickness VERY HIGH in the US Justice Department (and/or perhaps Homeland Security) pulled the strings to lawlessly per/prosecute Pete and, then, Doreen… not even the Mafia goes after your family or women.]

So read Cracking the Code, DO Cracking the Code—using the simple templates and resources available on Pete’s site losthorizons.com—, and take back your money and power by locating and shutting the spigot by which the Men of the Power Sickness drain your precious bodily fluids. It’s your blood and treasure. Take it and keep it. For heaven’s sake, stand up and man up for yourself and your family.

...and here is Brian's blog post discussing this victory and the importance of standing up for the rule of law in greater depth. It's well worth reading.

FINALLY, BRIAN, A DYNAMO of activism, has even gone so far as to render his "information return" rebuttals from this filing as graphics with explanatory notes for those who are not yet veterans:

GOT TO LOVE this fine, heroic American!

Brian has stepped up and acted to restrain the dangerous and corrupt state and uphold the rule of law, something desperately needed from everyone. His latest victory joins those of the tens of thousands of other awakened and activated Americans represented here, and is another step 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!

A Reminder About An Important Reminder

Pre-emptive prophylaxis against troll-poop toxins

EVERY YEAR JUST AFTER "DECLARATION DAY" an unusual volume of fresh troll droppings meant to scare Americans away from CtC will be found polluting the internet. The reason is simple: those seeking to suppress CtC understand that D-Day awakens a strong sense of civic responsibility in the American breast, and that sense, combined with the knowledge that comes from reading CtC, is what these operators of the Leviathan state fear more than anything else.

Thus, in early July, more than any other time of year save around April 15, we see steady injections of usually-outright-idiotic but anxiety-inducing posts from obviously self-interested commentators. Most are along two lines. es.

THE NATURE OF THE FIRST OF THESE ESPECIALLY-COMMON efforts to frighten is dictated by the facts on the ground-- which is to say, the fact that all these refunds, like those posted above, are being issued. The effort to get around this inconvenient fact with any effect (and to undermine the illuminating power of this inconvenient fact) is along the line of, "Well, sure, lots of people get these refunds... but the government just comes back for them later!"

The troll hopes that it won't occur to the target audience that NO ONE (and especially not the world's most rogue government agency, which is widely understood to do whatever it wants and suffers no penalty of any kind for simply refusing to issue a claimed refund) would operate like this. NO ONE (especially that rogue agency) would hand over a refund that (per this storyline) isn't really owed, or the validity of which had not been ascertained, on the reasoning that it can always be recovered later.

The silliness of this assertion is impossible to put into words. But when one is a troll, one does the best one can, I suppose. (This absurd argument is sometimes fortified with another absurd assertion-- that tax agencies are required to simply issue, without delay, any refund which anyone has claimed, no matter what.)

The fact is, refund claims go through a rigorous gauntlet of scrutiny, skepticism and resistance-- EVERY TIME. This is especially so in the case of CtC-educated claims, which are of a particular and highly obvious character that is as unfriendly as possible to any tax agency's primary mission of collecting as much revenue as possible. We'll get to the IRS's own discussion of this fact in a bit.

(There ARE sporadic attempts by the tax agencies to get an educated claimant to reverse him-or herself and repudiate the claim-- a completely and very-revealingly different thing from what is meant to be imagined by the "...they'll come back for it later!" scare-line. See how those events play out here and here.)

THE SECOND OF THE UBIQUITOUS TROLL-DROPPINGS around D-Day is the assertion that, "The courts have ruled against what CtC teaches about the law!" This latter effort is in defiance of the facts on the ground, but I guess when you've been given the mission of arguing with reality you aim high and hope the runback evaporates before it reaches you.

Plainly, the courts have NOT "ruled against" what CtC teaches about the law. Had that happened, ever, even by some judge or judges acting in blatant disregard of what the law really says, there would be no CtC-educated filing honored at any time. Let me explain.

Every tax agency, from the IRS to those of every state and municipality that collects the income tax, has a legal office. The IRS, for instance, has its "Office of Chief Counsel".

Among other things, the job of these legal departments is to issue opinions and directives controlling the way their agencies handle claims. The directives are based on (usually the most self-serving possible) interpretations of any valid and relevant court ruling that serves the agency's mission of capturing and keeping every penny of revenue possible.

Plainly, had "the courts ruled against what CtC teaches about the law", CtC-educated claims, nearly all of which share unmistakable characteristics, would be subject to "Do not honor" directives, and the understanding of the law on which CtC-educated filings and claims are made would be prominently featured on the IRS's famous "Frivolous Positions" list. At the least, that understanding would appear there somewhere, prominently or not...

But instead, CtC-educated claims are routinely honored, and have been on hundreds of thousands of occasions since 2003. And very much contrary to the appearance of CtC's teachings about the law on the "Frivolous Positions List" the IRS resorts to an outright hoax by which it pretends that there is a "frivolous list" reference to CtC-educated claims in order to occasionally harass certain filers, dramatically underscoring the fact that what CtC teaches cannot be put on the actual list-- because it is correct and the government knows this full well.

Plainly, "the courts" have not ruled against what CtC teaches about the law-- unless by "courts" you mean the ones with which Alice had to contend in Looking Glass Land.*

SO ALL THAT SAID, let me get to the reminder about "The Reminder" promised in the title of this article: A short and concise rebuttal to all trollish nonsense can be found here, at the #Reminder bookmark on the Bulletin Board page. Please familiarize yourself with it, and please use it!

I've said a thousand times that we are way past there being any kind of battle over the law, or what the law says and means. Those things are known, and settled, and beyond dispute.

What we've had since 2003 is a battle against lies spun by those whose gravy-train and tyrannical agenda are threatened by the truth about the law. Things like the "Reminder" are your best weapons in that battle, and I hope everyone has a firm grasp on them and is swinging away.

That's how we will win.

"But what do we mean by the American Revolution?  Do we mean the American war? The Revolution was effected before the war commenced. The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people..."

-John Adams

*Frankly, it really wouldn't matter if a court HAD "ruled" against what CtC teaches about the law, would it? You've read the law for yourself! You know what it says, and that if a court "ruled" against it, the court would simply be lying (or personified by a moron).

Surely the fact that some fool or scoundrel in a black robe issued a bogus ruling wouldn't be cause for you to surrender your rights and stand down in your defense of the rule of law, would it? I hope not.

See this and this for a few thoughts in depth on this important point.

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.

Media Evasion Of CtC Must End, Now

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

 

Illuminating anniversaries of this week: September 16-  In 1920, a bomb in a horse-drawn wagon explodes in front of the J.P. Morgan Building on Wall Street, killing 38 and injuring 400.  In 1991, the drug-trafficking trial of one-time CIA-asset and Panamanian "strongman" Manuel Noriega begins.

 

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...

OTHER VOICES: Paris, 1787 Reaches Manhattan by Fred Reed It is easy to underestimate the peasantry, the little people. They appear well under control. All seems calm, unless one looks carefully. The means of control work smoothly: the legions, the church, the media, the secret police, the enforcers of political correctness.  The serfs are cowed. Why worry about a distant peonage? Do we not have our castles? Let us dance and drink champagne. And comes the guillotine. I know three young women of exceptional intelligence and talent, all of them mature and disciplined. They cannot find jobs. It is not from lack of trying, far from it. One of them is married to a hard-working man in a highly technical field usually associated with wealth. He is paid a low hourly wage and forced to work on contract, meaning that he has neither benefits nor retirement. His employers know that if he leaves, they can easily find another to take his place. They have him where they want him. Which may prove a mistake. Yet this is become a pattern. In a country that prides itself on wealth and justice and boundless opportunity, none of these things actually exists except for our Bourbons. The rich in their palaces in Manhattan and Santa Clara prosper mightily, often by impoverishing the rest. It has happened many times in history. The results have been similar. The guillotine was devised as a humanitarian measure to cut off a criminal’s head cleanly, the ax-wielding headsmen of the time being notorious for missed strokes and subsequent horror. When the meek and mild peasantry rose in 1789, proving to be less meek and mild than believed, the humanitarian aspects of the instrument were forgotten. The populace just wanted to see their betters bleed. They saw. Continued...

Phillips, JD   "...I find your work fascinatingly simple to understand." -Jerry Arnowitz, JD   "Your book is a masterpiece!" -Michael Carver, JD   "Received your book yesterday.  Started reading at 11 PM, finished at 4 AM."  "I have 16 feet (literally 16' 4.5") of documents supporting just about everything in your book." "Your book should be required reading for every lawyer before being admitted to any Bar."  "I hope you sell a million of them."  -John O'Neil Green, JD   “Thanks again for your efforts, Pete. They mean an awful lot to a lot of people.” “…as an attorney, I am humbled by your knowledge and ability in navigating the law.  THANK YOU for your hard work and sacrifice.” -Eric Smithers, JD   "I am an attorney and want to give a testimonial to your book, which I find to be compelling. I am exercising these rights for myself and my adult children. I'm even considering making this my new avenue of law practice." -Nancy "Ana" Garner, JD   Learn what these colleagues already know, then step forward and become part of a coordinated, mutually-supportive squadron focused on developing strategy and deploying the law in courtrooms across the country.  There's a lot of suing that needs doing right now.   Are you ready for a challenge that'll put some real meaning behind all the effort you went through to get your credentials?  Send me an email.

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.
