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.”
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!

creative self in sending and "selling" these links. Do memes; make

can make use in awakening other Americans to the virtues of having
the income tax correctly administered. Please, for my sake, for your
own sake, for the sake of your children and their future, make that
use.

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.
"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."
-United States Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson
(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

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

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.

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…”
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.
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.
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..."

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)

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.

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

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.
