Here's a disturbing but apt question, under the circumstances:
July 13- In 1787, the Continental Congress enacts the Northwest
Ordinance, creating-- with the agreement of the several states-- the first
"United States territory" and providing for the division of the territory into
new union states fully equal in legal status to the original 13 as soon as
certain specified conditions are met. In 1863, anti-conscription rioting begins
in New York City. The riots, regarded as the worst civil unrest in American
history, ran for three days, and were of such ferocity and size that authorities
declared themselves unable to consider martial law for lack of sufficient means
to enforce it.

Are We Really Going Out With Just A Whimper?
It appears so...
THERE'S NOTHING I HATE MORE than writing this kind of
article (and I'm sure you are no more pleased to read them). But there's
also a point at which I can no longer tolerate the sensation of shouting
in a dark room that is also proving to be empty. I've been feeling at
that point a lot, lately.
In fact, every day for months I have felt like a ghost with
something really important to say but unable to make myself heard
no matter how loudly I yell.
It sucks.
THE TIPPING POINT TODAY is a new, enhanced assault on the rule of law by Michigan's governor, Gretchen Whitmer. Recognizing the increasing fade-away of the C19 panic-spell
under which the state executive branch has erected a ruinous despotism,
here as in many other American states, Whitmer has doubled-down with a
new "executive order" threatening all businesses in the state with
punishment if they do provide services to anyone not wearing a mask.
The purpose (or at least, the effect) of this latest
upgraded despotism is to compel everyone in Michigan to
appear
to be in terror of the C19 hobgoblin, through the wearing of a
high-visibility shield against it everywhere they are seen (and are
filmed by the complicit media). The price of refusing to climb on board
the crazy-train and exhibit apparent agreement that C19 is the Black
Death come again is the ability to enter a grocery store and buy food--
a price very few will pay, or do so for very long.
And when nearly EVERYBODY appears to be of the one view,
dissent from that view becomes ever-more difficult, even for those
willing to dare the $500 fines now threatened for meaningful expression
of that dissent.
Small minorities of dissenters are much more easily cowed
into silence and conformity by public hate expressions from the majority
who have either been brainwashed into the fear and convinced that
dissenters are actual threats to their health, or those who have caved
to the pressure and are accordingly shamed and made resentful by those
who show more integrity. That's what Whitmer wants.
THE SAD FACT IS, Whitmer made a bunch of ruinous and
illegal policy calls early on, starting back in March. The Michigan
economy and many lives have been destroyed as a result.
Now, to shield her from the political and legal fallout
looming as a consequence of the bad policies, Whitmer, like her
counterparts in many other states who followed the same incompetent and
law-defying path, is desperate to generate a group-think sense that it
really was all necessary (and therefore forgivable, or even laudable).
The chosen method is a feedback effect by which the imposition of a
behavior makes the mind more impressionable with the sense that what is supposedly protected against really exists.
Thus, Michiganders are forced to walk around armored against a virus which,
during a three-month period in which millions
were infected (mid-December 2019 to mid-March),
killed only 97 Americans. That rate never changed (except to the
extent that Whitmer and a few other governors bumped it up a bit here
and there by forcing infected elderly people into nursing homes full of
vulnerable potential fatalities).
The fatality-puffing fiction was worsened further still
because nearly any
death anywhere-- whether in a nursing home or otherwise-- from
practically any cause short of manifest blunt-force trauma came
to be called a "C19" death. This happened under the urging of the CDC
(see
here and
here, for instance) which is itself among those needing cover for
having helped spark a ruinous world-wide panic certain to kill hundreds
of thousands and destroy prosperity over what had, by mid-March, proven
to be another "crisis" dud much like the Swine Flu.
(To its partial credit, the CDC quietly publishes
acknowledgements available to those willing to look for them that the
case fatality rate (CFR) from C19 for the vast majority of the population--
87%, in fact-- is
way below that of even a mild seasonal flu, and even for the 13%
suffering the highest CFR the rate is still extremely low. See
this
acknowledgement, for instance, and the rate of CFR for various
rankings of flu
here.
Nonetheless, the organization continues to announce the
ridiculously-inflated, panic-supporting "C19 death toll" as reported by
the medical community under the perverse incentives of the
aforementioned payoff and mislabeling protocols.)
SO, GRETCHEN WHITMER (and another governor near you soon,
if you don't live in Michigan) wants you to feel compelled to exhibit
terror (and impose dangerous stress on the elderly and little children, as well as
everyone else) from what really is a nothing-burger of a disease. And
all just to cover her own ass and those of her fellow travelers who have
threatened, brow-beaten and bankrupted across the length and breadth of
this great state.
Let's be clear-- the wearing of masks is NOT a "public
safety measure". As shown by the data above, there IS no "public safety"
threat. The mask-wearing order is pure psychological manipulation and
dissent-suppression.
AT THE SAME TIME, Whitmer is forcing every businessperson
in Michigan to act as a witting or unwitting accomplice in her
infringements on the rights of those who refuse to endorse the C19 panic
paradigm and instead choose to express a different view of the matter by
declining to wear a mask.
Every business which refuses entry or service to anyone
failing to wave Whitmer's "We're all in this together" face-flag is working a criminal harm on the
dissenter. Every person who otherwise would so speak save for the threat
of such denials is likewise a victim of the same vile crimes.
But worthy of comment as it may be on its own (comment
which can be found here, btw), the fake news about the "C19 crisis"
is not the point of this commentary, or of my complaint. Neither are the
details of Whitmer's latest order, or the manner in which Michigan
businesses are likely to be sucked into the criminal conspiracy.
Here is
the point of both:
MORE THAN SEVEN WEEKS AGO I POSTED
INDISPUTABLE PROOF
THAT GRETCHEN WHITMER'S NEW EFFORT TO SUPPRESS EXPRESSIONS OF DISSENT IS
ILLEGAL, JUST AS HAVE BEEN ALL OF HER EARLIER EXECUTIVE ORDERS! And yet
practically
no one has striven to spread awareness of this proof throughout the state.
Had that effort been made, Whitmer wouldn't have dared this
doubling-down CYA ploy, which is far-and-away her most grotesquely
Orwellian outrage to date. Nor would any business allow itself to be
made a cat's-paw and accomplice in the outrage.
Instead, had that knowledge-spreading effort been made,
every surviving business in Michigan would be open and recovering (rather than being forced
to take handouts in what is doubtless a step preliminary to bankruptcy
as a record number have done).
At the same time, the true facts
about the insignificance of C19 would be the talk of the town, as a
result of the same kind of feedback effect discussed above. Gretchen Whitmer would be on her way to a whole lot of lawsuits and eventually
prison.
HERE'S HOW THAT KNOWLEDGE-SPREADING THING would have worked
(and how it still would work):
A million Michigan men and women would learn that Whitmer's
orders are illegal and invalid.
Media outlets big and small across the state would become
peppered with demands for coverage of this critically-important,
situationally-dispositive fact.
One thousand awakened men and women would prove to have
the sand and the wisdom (or anger) to rise to their feet and say, "NO!"
Those of that thousand that have businesses would open them
in defiance of the illegal orders, and would defend themselves against
retaliation by Whitmer and her co-conspirators by using
the actual insurmountable
Constitutional facts, which no court could rule against without the
responsible judge placing him or herself in the legal crosshairs in
turn. Peppered media outlets would cover these acts of defiance,
increasingly in a supportive manner.
One hundred thousand others would then find the sand all of
a sudden. The whole thing would snowball into as rapid and complete
a restoration of the economy as is now possible (something that
diminishes each day that compliance with the illegal orders persists).
While that hundred thousand begin rising and speaking, the
rest of the state takes in the liberating, law-upholding information. 10 million Michiganders would
find themselves getting a lesson in the primacy of the Constitution of a sort they
have rarely, if ever, gotten before.
BUT OF COURSE, none of this has happened. None of this has
happened because nearly no one has sent this file (or this link) to
every person in his or her email address book, along with language
urging that it be opened and read, and passed along. Most have sent it
to no one.
Since the beginning of the C19 hobgoblin-flogging there has
been an appalling level of apathy within this community of what are
supposed to be champions of the rule of law. Right when activism is most
called for, right when a truly dire crisis DOES threaten America in the
form of government officials across the country openly defying the law
and becoming steadily more arrogant in doing so, this community has
become steadily more deflated.
I suppose there is a variation of the Stockholm Syndrome at
work, by which many folks have surrendered their independence of thought
to the hobgoblin-floggers' drumbeat and walk proudly in the parade
toward the cliff-edge. Others are simply in the grip of despair and no
longer able to muster any defiance against their abusers.
Whatever the psycho-dynamic at work, it doesn't matter.
Whatever is keeping you from acting, the end result is the same, and if
this is how things are going to be, I'm wasting my voice.
And that sucks.

Still Timely: Not Letting This "Crisis" Go To Waste...
...an important action item opportunity.
FRIENDS, THE BIT OF EASING of the despotic measures to
which most of the country has been subjected this spring should not be
allowed to bleed off the head of steam you probably had been developing.
The offenses happened, and they're far from over. Stay hot.
And while you are all warmed up, and while others, if
they're smart, are just as hot, I'd like you to send an email (and
Facebook post, or whatever) with the following content to everyone you
can (with a request that they pass it along, in turn):
[Name], over the last several months you've
watched as over-fed state power has been used to literally destroy
classical Western civilization and impose a new despotic paradigm. No
dissent or debate permitted-- no permission or agreement sought.
YOU KNOW where this will end up if the arrogant
state power being used to make this happen isn't radically diminished in
size, influence, resources and popular support, and exposed as an
opportunistic exploiter of legal ignorance (an ignorance which it has
been nurturing in the average mind for decades).
Those things having not yet happened, you
should be quaking in your boots-- and you probably are.
Isn't it time-- and past time-- for you to
begin helping to make those desperately-needed defensive changes take
place? There is only one way these things can happen short of a
who-knows-what we'll-end-up-with explosion of violence. I'm going to
show it to you.
When you're done with that reading, you'll know
what to do next.
BTW, REMEMBER, ALSO, THAT EVERY AMERICAN has lately been given a stark lesson in the fact
that government officials at all levels will lie to you and violate the
law without batting an eye. They will do so any time it serves their agenda, and
you don't call them out for it.
If you know anyone who has been persisting in denial on the
truth about the income tax, you know such nonsense is usually be
grounded in some version or another of, "That can't be true..." or "They
would never do something like that...". Now's the time to put a pin in
that delusional bubble.
As the C19 hoax has starkly shown, "that" certainly CAN be true, and they
certainly WOULD do something
like that.
Use this evidence in all your
outreach efforts.

citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to

(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.
All-in-all, just be the sort of person for others
that you would go to yourself for trustworthy leadership.
Leadership is a challenge. But it's not
complicated, and you can do it.

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...
IF YOU'RE NOT SPREADING THIS LINK with every bit of
energy you can, to school libraries, homeschool
families and community groups, your neighbors, your
family members, your pastors and
co-congregationalists, journalists, lawyers, CPAs,
members of congress, tax-agency workers, Wikipedia,
Anonymous, WikiLeaks, the Tax Foundation, everyone
in the "tax honesty" movement, the 9/11 truth
movement, other activist movements and everyone
else,
you have only yourself to blame for your
troubles with the tax, and a whole lot else of which
you might complain. It's on you.
WRITE A NICE, FRIENDLY AND BRIEF introductory note
explaining what will be seen at the link-- cryptic
is bad; excited is good-- and then send this WMI
(weapon of mass instruction) far and wide.
Remember: Real Americans don't accommodate fog, lies and a sliding scale of
adherence to the rule of law. Real American men and women stand up for the
truth and the law, come what may, knowing that it is only by setting the bar
at the top and enforcing it, come what may, that liberties are secured.

No Courts, No Freedom, No Rights: We Are
Watching Our Legal Protections Swirl Down The Toilet
Justice in the time of Coronavirus
by Janet Phelan
"I discovered to my joy, that it is life, not
death, that has no limits." Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Love in the Time of
Cholera
One of the casualties of Covid-19 has been our
system of justice. The First Amendment to the Constitution, granting
freedom of assembly, freedom to practice one’s chosen religion, and even
freedom of speech is being trampled upon in the face of the corona
crisis. The fact that this illness may possibly be no more dangerous
than the
seasonal flu pandemics of recent years is not apparently part of the
national dialogue.
Michigan recently issued an order for all
nonessential workers to stay home, citing the potential to arrest
violators on misdemeanor charges. In that state, misdemeanors carry a
punishment of up to a year in jail. Other states have issued similar
orders, and in Washington DC and elsewhere, you can be jailed and fined
for leaving your house. A recent
Los Angeles Times article detailed the arrest of a paddle boarder on
the coast off of Malibu, among other violators.
Well, we don't want him infecting the fish,
right?
In many states, courts are now closed. The DOJ
has asked Congress for the suspension of habeas corpus and for the right
to detain suspects
indefinitely without trial.
Other legal rights are under attack. According
to
this article, an effort is afoot in California to waive transparency
laws.
Noting that city resources and personnel are
stretched thin responding to the pandemic, the executive director of the
League of California Cities asked (Governor) Newsom last week to "take
immediate action to pause certain statutory requirements."
These "statutory requirements" include the
public records act and financial disclosures of public officials.
While we are watching our legal protections
swirl down the toilet, it is important to remember that they are really
pretty illusory. In one recent instance, and in an apparent effort to
obscure information relating to a human experimentation project being
forcibly inflicted on psychiatric inmates, UCLA Hospitals and Clinics
ignored their legal obligations under the California Public Records Act
- long before the corona crisis hit.
All was not well in our justice system prior to
corona. Fundamentally, our system of justice relies on the integrity of
our judges. Long before the corona crisis hit, hard hitting questions
were emerging referencing the mounting evidence that state court judges
were routinely receiving bribes and pay-offs. It is now appearing that
federal judges can be added to the list of those who are similarly
self-enriching at the cost of justice.
The revelations that somewhere in the realm of
two- thirds of state court probate judges researched had loan histories
redolent of money laundering and bribe taking are now being echoed in
other “high stakes” courts.
By “high stakes” here we mean courts through
which money flows like a virtual waterfall. With 30 trillion dollars set
to be transferred from the baby boomers to their heirs, and much of
these funds now diverted through adult guardianship courts, these
proceedings can certainly be thought of as “high stakes.”
cnbc.com/2018/06/28/wealth-transfer-baby-boomers-estate-heir-inheritance.html
(For those not yet aware of the concerns
prompted by probate judges’ excessive loan activities, this brief
Russia Today
interview lays out the territory)
Tax court could be considered another
money-rich venue. A recent investigation of a federal tax court judge,
the Honorable Michael B. Thornton, has raised questions as to his loan
activity, which appears to be excessive and of concern.
LET ME SAY FIRST that the jurisdictional challenge discussed in the
latter half of Phelan's article, by which Michael Thornton has been stymied in a
tax court case over which he is crouched, is the one I first introduced to the
community here, almost a year
ago. It pleases me to offer this as proof that the truth, correctly and
courageously presented, can give conniptions and conundrums to even corrupt
judges.
At a minimum, that correctly- and courageously-presented
truth will become evidence of judicial corruption, should any manifest,
just as the dodges engaged in by a corrupt judge attempting to evade the
truth become evidence of that truth's unassailable correctness.
Don't
ever forget any of this.
NOW, LET ME SAY SECONDLY that Phelan's article nicely
illustrates a fact that too many Americans seem to be struggling with
under the foul influence of the "pandemic-panic-attack":
Government officials are not to be trusted.
Government officials-- especially appointed ones, or those
hired into the bureaucracy-- are NOT your friends. They are simply folks
chosen by politicians who are skilled at making themselves appear to be
your friends for the purpose of serving those politicians and their
interests-- one of which includes making you believe you are being
faithfully dealt with by the best government possible.
FINALLY, LET ME SAY that Janet Phelan's article is a
fine example of the kind of journalism this country needs and of which
it has way too little. Think, for instance, of the transformation that
would take place should Phelan (or a dozen or a hundred like her) focus
journalistic attention on
the complete
picture of the 17-year effort to suppress the People-empowering,
state-shrinking truth about the income tax uniquely revealed in
CtC!
In fact, I have done just exactly that thinking. A
sketch of what would result can be seen
right here.
A more
broad-brush picture, complete with all the reasons why that
transformation would be inevitable and unstoppable once even only a tiny
portion of the American people learned the liberating truth
can be found
here.
Spread these illuminations around in the best way you can,
and urge every Janet Phelan you can find to lend their voices to the
effort. We could have a refreshed and restored America for Christmas
this year!
EVEN AS ARDENT A STATIST as Abraham
Lincoln, in announcing his willingness to burn the Southern states to the ground in order to
keep them paying the tariff for the benefit of Northern interests in
his first inaugural address on March 4, 1861, paid at least lip
service to the Founders design of leaving control over the fuel
available to feed the fires Washington wants to light in the hands
of the individual citizenry when he said, "Doing this I deem to
be only a simple duty on my part; and I shall perform it, unless my

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!
If
CtC were actually
right, it would mean the government's been concealing and
denying and suppressing the truth for years
on end, and everybody knows THAT would never happen...
(Edward Snowden, come home! It was all just a bad dream; there really is
No Such Agency!)
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.
July 14- In 1789, citizens of Paris
storm the Bastille (the national government prison in the city), release its
prisoners and begin the French Revolution. In 1798, the Sedition Act (part of
of "Alien and Sedition Acts"), an unconstitutional measure intended to stifle
criticism of the undeclared war on France being conducted by the Federalist
faction then in control of Congress and the Presidency, becomes "law".
Widespread opposition to these acts (and the policies they were intended to
shield) led to the extinction of the Federalist Party within a few short years.
(See 'Strolling Down Memory Lane' in 'Upholding
the Law And Other Observations' for more on this subject.) In 1881, Billy
the Kid is shot and killed by Pat Garrett. In 1969, United States Federal
Reserve Notes in $500, $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000 denominations are officially
withdrawn from circulation. In 2015 a NASA probe does the first

Some Good Perspective From The Delightfully Sardonic John Prine

Hey, Gamers!
WAKEN TO THE REAL-LIFE ADVENTURE IN WHICH YOU
ARE UNKNOWINGLY IMMERSED! Put down your controller and
listen!
You are surrounded by an actual battle between
villains, monsters and true heroes, all simply concealed
from you by
sophisticated spells which also keep you from
engaging in the fight.
There are real great deeds to be done,
and real treasures to be had for your efforts, and
frankly, your real future
is at stake. You just have to gain "the sight" in order to
penetrate the illusions.

PRO TIP: If I were the IRS and I wanted to
discourage people from rebutting allegations that
they had done things I can tax, and wanted to keep them from
successfully reclaiming withheld or paid-in money, I
would salt the "tax honesty" community with
passionate-seeming "legal researchers" who would
warn anyone whose ear they captured that filing a
1040 is a bad idea for one reason or another...

Illuminating Anniversaries of this week:
July 16- In 1790, the District of Columbia is established as
the capital of the United States. In 1935, the world's first parking meter is
installed Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. In 1945, the first nuclear weapon is
exploded in a test at Trinity, New Mexico. In 1957, John Glenn sets a
transcontinental speed record, flying from California to New York in 3 hours, 23
minutes and 8 seconds. In 1969, Apollo 11 is launched from the Kennedy Space
Center at Cape Canaveral, Florida. In 1999, JFK Jr., is killed in a plane crash
in the Atlantic with his wife and sister-in-law.
If you're not talking this one up everywhere and
helping generate a buzz, you don't really want liberty and the
rule of law...

In light of
the actual evidence, those
who doubt or
deny the accuracy and correctness of
CtC just because some government officials
denounce it are like the 16th-century Europeans who
were mystified by
Copernicus getting all those
astronomical predictions right even though the
church had said he was wrong.

Did you miss the 'Set Your Church Free'
commentaries?
Ignorance of the true nature of the "income" tax
has gagged, gutted and seduced-into-disgrace America's
ministerial community. This must change.

You're a

Illuminating Anniversaries of this week:
July 17- In 1794, sixteen Carmelite nuns are guillotined by the
Jacobins during the waning days of the Reign of Terror in revolutionary France.
In 1918, Tsar Nicholas II and his family and retainers are murdered by the
Bolsheviks. In 1955, Disneyland opens. In 1996, TWA flight 800 mysteriously
explodes off the coast of Log Island, resulting in the deaths of all 230
aboard. In 1997, Woolworth's closes its last store, after 117 years in
business. In 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 is shot down over eastern
Ukraine, apparently by the leaders of the United States-fomented coup which
overthrew the elected government of Ukraine the previous February. The attack
may have been a hit on the wrong plane in an effort to assassinate Russian
leader Vladimir Putin, who was travelling the same route around the same time.

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."

Adams, Architect of the first American Revolution

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.

the crazy-train and exhibit apparent agreement that C19 is the Black

a price very few will pay, or do so for very long.
