HEY, People! Please don't just read what I post here (or anywhere), and nod your head sagely or approvingly and then move on to other things. I don't post in order to affirm your sense of things. I post in order to equip you with perspectives and arguments with which to educate others, and in the expectation that you will forward my posts to other people (or direct them to those posts). PLEASE do those things.

We won't win by YOU knowing what I present. We will win by LOTS OF OTHERS knowing what I present.

 

A Very Worthwhile Video

Despite the somewhat hokey subtitle, this is a powerful and important chunk of investigative journalism.

THE FILM BELOW IS WELL WORTH the 1:15 of watching time. When finished, see "How Stupid Do They Think We Are?" to round out the picture. Then forward this link (to the article you're reading) like your liberty depends on it.

Remember, now read through "How Stupid Do They Think We Are?" The startling data in that article about about C19 events and history will be richly fortified with context by what you have just see in the video.

SEE THIS, TOO, from the always compelling Jerry Day:

Then forward this link (to the article you're reading) as widely as you can.

"It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. We hold this prudent jealousy to be the first duty of Citizens and one of the noblest characteristics of the late Revolution. The free men of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise and entangled the question in precedents. They saw all the consequences in the principle, and they avoided the consequences by denying the principle. We revere this lesson too much soon to forget it."

-James Madison

 

"As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there's a twilight where everything remains seemingly unchanged, and it is in such twilight that we must be aware of change in the air, however slight, lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness."

-William O. Douglas

 

“There is no safety for honest men but by believing all possible evil of evil men.”

A Word About "Systemic Racism"...

Because it's time to retire this deliberate distraction from the C19 coup-in-progress.

BULLSHIT. That's the word.

I'm 65 years old, and my generation runs this country. While there are certainly some racists in the ranks, they are outliers in my generation's culture-- viewed with scorn by the vast majority and possessed of no institutional or "systemic" significance.

What allows the contrary narrative serving the interests of "race hustlers" and other exploiters to survive and even capture the spotlight over the last few months is just cultivated ignorance and disinformation. Let me take a shot at clearing up some of that fog.

WHEN MY GENERATION-- the one that runs things, now, remember; the one that establishes what is "systemic" in America-- was coming up and formulating its views, we thought Sidney Poitier, Harry Belafonte, Sammy Davis Jr., Aretha Franklin, Jimi Hendrix, Chief Dan George, Carlos Casteneda, Mother Teresa, Carlos Santana, Bill Cosby, Marvin Gaye, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Hank Aaron, Khalil Gibran and Bhagwan Shri Rajneesh were superstars, along with thousands of other "people of color". The fact they they were "people of color" never even entered our minds.

We cared about what people did, not what they looked like. Work hard enough to develop and display a talent or skill or wisdom or great spirit and we embraced you, whether you were black, brown, red, yellow or white.

AT THE SAME TIME, my generation-- the one that runs things, now, remember; the one that establishes what is "systemic" in America-- supported the Civil Rights movement in every way that we could, creating enough political pressure to force significant institutional changes into law on behalf of "people of color". We even went so far as to hold our noses and stand with the noxious Lyndon Johnson to do it (before immediately returning to the task of driving that otherwise despicable asshat from office).

Over the decades my generation-- the one that runs things, now, remember; the one that establishes what is "systemic" in America-- set up "affirmative action" programs to counteract what we saw as systemic racism of the past, along with bussing, express cultural representation, and massive wealth transfers from the pockets of those of us doing well to the pockets of those not doing as well, the majority of whom were "people of color". And these are just the tip of the "reach out and help" iceberg.

"Systemic racism" would have said to the beneficiaries of all these efforts and the innumerable more of the same kind over the decades, "Hey! You're on your own." Or would have done worse than just talk.

Rather than "systemic racism", my generation has demonstrated systemic love and acceptance and generosity and color-blindness.

In 2008 we elected a black president, for Pete's sake! And then re-elected him in 2012!

THERE IS NO "SYSTEMIC RACISM". But what I think may be mistaken for it-- or, rather, misrepresented as it, by race-hustlers" and other exploiters-- is systemic culturism. And for that, no apology is offered.

My generation-- the one that runs things, now, remember; the one that establishes what is "systemic" in America-- doesn't like any culture that sneers at and discourages educational attainment, hard work, and respect for the rule of law. We don't like any culture that celebrates and encourages gangsterism and vulgarity and a "perpetual victim" mindset. We don't like any culture in which a hatred or resentment of others is a thriving, or even an animating, sentiment.

It doesn't matter the color of anyone embracing the disfavored (and frankly, defective) culture. Those of my generation would be thrilled to have the Huxtables or Walter Williams living next door, and deeply disturbed to have David Duke or Marge Schott for a neighbor. The issue is not the color of the skin, it is the content of the character.

In fact, my generation's culturism-- the only real "ism" that can be called "systemic" today-- holds racists in contempt and disdain, whether they be white, black, brown, red or yellow, and regardless of who or what is the object of their mindless prejudice or hostility or resentment.

It is only the real racists among us that mistake culturism for racism. These vile people assume that the defective subcultures being disdained are inherently and exclusively black artifacts and that therefore, disdain for the subculture is disdain for blacks, per se.

Such twisted minds insult blacks in their distorted cultural ascription as much as they do whites in their assumption that the disdain is for the person based on the color of their skin rather than their behavior.

SO, AGAIN, THERE IS NO "SYSTEMIC RACISM" in America. But there IS a coup being perpetrated, under the fog generated by the "Covid-19" hoax, and the "systemic racism" bs is involved.

Considering all that is known about both, it seems clear that the manifestly-bogus charge of "systemic racism" is a weapon being wielded by the coup-plotters to distract grown-up Americans from that real problem. The charge-- along with the attention-riveting and unsettling destructive behavior taking place in its name-- serves to confuse those American grown-ups and weaken their spirits.

The bogus charge and the unsettling behavior improve the odds those American grown-ups will stand numbly by watching the world they built with their blood, sweat and tears be burnt to the ground and replaced with a dystopian collectivist hive, rather than stand up and begin enforcing the law against the C19 "new normalizers".

Clear the fog, denounce and debunk the distractions, and defend yourself America!

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.

Read this little two-page document. Click on the links at the end.

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.

"It is not the function of our Government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the Government from falling into error."

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.

How To Be A Leader In The CtC Community

It's simple:

KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT THE TAX IN DETAIL

LEAD BY EXAMPLE

KNOW WHERE TO FIND THE RESOURCES

BE FAMILIAR WITH THE SCAMS, THE MISUNDERSTANDINGS, AND THE TROLL-POLLUTION

TAKE CHARGE IN YOUR STATE FORUM, HELPING EVERYONE TO THINK CLEARLY AND STAY ON TOPIC

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...

Lockdown Restrictions Are A Test To See How Much Tyranny Americans Will Accept

by Brandon Smith

The pandemic lockdowns are a complicated issue, and that is absolutely deliberate. The point of 4th Generation psychological warfare is to present the target individual or population with a hard choice – a no-win scenario. You are damned if you do and damned if you don’t. I often equate this to the key moves in a difficult chess game; your primary goal is to create a dual threat and force your opponent to sacrifice one piece over another in order to escape with the least amount of damage. Do this a few times and you have won the long game.

There are multiple aspects to the global pandemic which seem engineered to push our society to make “sacrificial decisions”. We can choose to sacrifice the lives of those that are susceptible to the virus, sacrifice our economy, or sacrifice many of our freedoms with the promise that the economy and lives will be protected. The easiest choice is always to give away a little more freedom. We’ll get it all back eventually…right?

Of course, we don’t actually get to “choose” anything when we play along with this game. 4th Gen warfare is meant to eventually take IT ALL from the target population while making people think it was their choice to give those things away.

To be clear, it’s not only the pandemic being exploited as leverage to conjure these situations. The leftist riots are another example of a bought and paid for crisis that is being used in an attempt to convince half of Americans that breaking constitutional principles and instituting unprecedented government power is somehow an acceptable sacrifice. The riots and the virus response work hand-in-hand; one is created to get leftists to demand totalitarianism in the name of public safety, the other is created to get conservatives to demand totalitarianism in the name of public safety.

The solution always ends up being totalitarian government. There are those that would have you believe that this is the only way. The new propaganda meme out there is:

“Silly libertarians live in a fantasy world where freedom is valued over security in times of crisis. We don’t have the luxury of freedom when communist terrorists/deadly virus threaten to destroy the fabric of our society…”

Afterword

SMITH DOES A GREAT JOB of hitting the nail on the head multiple times. Most significantly in recognizing 1. that the "lockdown" mandates are all illegal, and 2. that demands by the fearful for the rest of us to subordinate our own interests to theirs are shameful, selfish, and un-American.

On that latter point, Smith doesn't use all those exact words, so I'm helping him out, and I think he'd not mind. On the former point I don't know if Smith is aware of the real (or most direct) manner in which the mandates are illegal (that is, being violations of the Constitutions of each state whose governor has assumed dictatorial powers-- whether under the pretense of a piece of state legislation or not), but either way, here are eight examples of state Constitutional provisions expressly prohibiting such executive-branch diktats.

BUT HERE'S THE BIGGER MESSAGE of the observations made by Smith in his trenchant article, which takes the form of a question: Why does any of this need to be said?

Why the astonishing, disturbing and functionally-suicidal silence and paralysis of the American people in response to these mask-mandates and the rest of the "lockdown" C19-hoax-crisis usurpations, impositions and manipulations? This behavior is just as shameful as the demands by the C19 hoax-deluded that everyone quietly stand by like a good little mindless hive-member while their life's dreams and efforts crumble, and pretend that doing so is somehow wise and proper.

All I can imagine in explanation is that somehow many are not recognizing the peril. Instead, that "many" seems to naively expect everything to end up all right, perhaps by imagining that those who have been defying the law for the last six months-- to their steady aggrandizement and accumulation of power and wealth-- will suddenly stop misbehaving, and let things revert to normal all on their own.

But plainly, to articulate this fantasy is to expose its delusional character.

The American people-- at least, those not already Kool-Aid poisoned-- need to shuck the paralysis and the delusional expectations and start enforcing the law against those trying to force illegal autocratic edicts on everyone.

It's been wisely said that the world is run by those who show up. Aggrieved Americans really need to wise up and start showing up.

I REALIZE THAT IT'S HARD to figure out what to do when the problem is illegality by the entire upper tier of a state government, including even the legislature. Where do you go when the folks who would normally be asked to do their jobs and arrest the would-be tyrants are themselves part of the offending cabal?

Well, I guess answering that question is the challenge that lies before us.

Here's a nice example of what might at least be a starting point (disregarding the "red country/blue country" nonsense at the end-- this good American's words are suited to either kind of political hack...):

THE FACT IS, WE ARE SUFFERING A BRUTAL ASSAULT on everything which is crucial to the preservation and good health of our liberty and our prosperity. We mustn't allow the settling into place of the "principle" that those operating the state can rightly compel our subordination of individual views and decisions to what they see (or claim) to be the interests of the collective.

That "principle" has no limit. If you can be made to wear a mask in order to (supposedly) protect your neighbor from catching some illness you might be carrying (and if your children can be kept from playing with each other, and you all be compelled to have drugs injected into your bodies, and prevented from gathering even for purposes of discussing with each other in person-- where such discussion is actually potentially persuasive-- the rightness of such impositions), what can you not be made to do?

What will your neighbors not feel you can rightly be made to do? What will your children not have been conditioned to believe they (and you) can rightly be made to do?

Even if there really WERE a remarkably grave threat in this year's virus (which there most emphatically and demonstrably is not), the impositions being done in its name, and the consequences of letting them be done, are graver threats still. American paralysis in the face of those impositions is madness.

IN LIGHT OF THE MALAISE apparently afflicting the community I almost don't want to bother directing anyone to the solution to the threat, as I have done so many, many times now to no apparent effect. I see no indication that anyone is listening or acting.

No discussion or planning for outreach appears in the state fora. No increase in downloads of the proffered solution docs takes place. No word reaches me of businesses opening in defiance of the illegal mandates or lawsuits filed.

Nonetheless, because I cannot keep silent myself, here are the Constitutional analyses proving the mandates illegal.

Here is the fully-documented proof that there actually IS no dire threat from the current virus.

Here is the introduction document by which anyone can learn the critical importance, the promise and the unstoppable character of the "shrinking Leviathan" solution.

I wish that you would at least share them with others, even if you cannot see why you should bother.

Let your recipient make his or her OWN mind up on whether the sharing was worthwhile. You might end up pleasantly surprised-- people grow under the right conditions, and these are now very much the right conditions.

A Little Extra

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 rightful masters, the American people, shall withhold the requisite means..."

Lawyers: It's Way Past Time For You All To Queue Up!

[Y]ou really need to familiarize yourself with Pete Hendrickson's absolutely magnificent work at his website and in his book(s). He has, brilliantly and lucidly, "cracked the code" regarding the federal income EXCISE tax(es)."

"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.

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!

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 and suppressing the truth for years on end, and everybody knows THAT would never happen...

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...

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.
