You can't understand the present if you don't understand the past...

Illuminating anniversaries of this week:

October 19- In 1935, the League of Nations imposes economic sanctions on Italy over its invasion of Ethiopia.  In 1943, the first antibiotic treatment for tuberculosis is isolated in a lab.  In 1960, the United States imposes an embargo on Cuba.  In 1973, the Nixon Whitehouse defies an appeals court order to turn over the Watergate tapes.  In 1987, a world-wide stock-market crash begins in Hong Kong and spreads throughout the world.  The Dow Jones Industrial Average falls by 22.6% that day (Black Monday)-- several major markets lose more than 40% of their value, with New Zealand's losing 60% .  In 2005, Saddam Hussein goes on trial in Baghdad for "crimes against humanity".

 

Anniversaries of interest for each day of this week will be found throughout the newsletter below.

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.

 

Have You Been Tolerant Of Lockdowns And Mask Mandates?

Would you continue to be if you learned that only a few thousand Americans have died of C19, and even many of that small number could have been saved by a treatment used worldwide but effectively banned in the USA?

SO, I HAVE BEEN CONTINUOUSLY MYSTIFIED AND DISMAYED FOR MONTHS at the persistent failure of nearly the entire CtC community to notice the complete and dispositive debunk of the COVID-19 (C19) rationale for the gutting of the rule of law in America that I have, since March, been steadily assembling, posting and reposting. That debunk assemblage makes unmistakably clear that actual American fatalities from C19 have been vanishingly small.

In fact, that fatality total amounted to fewer than 100 during the pre-"lockdown" period from December of 2019 to mid-March, 2020 in which millions of Americans were infected-- as is very quietly acknowledged by even the CDC itself.

Plainly, this case fatality rate (CFR) didn't even remotely justify the "lockdowns" and mask-mandates and "social distancing" impositions which followed. Plainly, this CFR puts the lie to claims that these "mitigations" (and eventually vaccines) are necessary, now and in the future.

But no one is even talking about these eyewash-clearing facts.

I have had to entertain the disturbing possibility that the vast majority of even this CtC-educated community-- which more than any other on the face of the Earth must recognize that government officials lie to citizens in service to their own, private, self-serving agendas without qualm or scruple-- has drunk the "pandemic" hobgoblin Kool-Aid and suffers conditioned cognitive dissonance when coming upon disputations of the "official narrative".

Or, I must fear, the community is too bruised and benumbed by the panic-propaganda attack to bestir themselves in resistance and denunciation.

I find these possibilities frightening.

THERE IS ANOTHER, HAPPIER POSSIBILITY, though. This less dire alternative is that somehow my presentations of the first (and most important) set of facts in the connect-the-dots assemblage has been less than it needs to be in order to be properly understood, or at least rapidly taken-in. Getting hung up at the get-go when presented with material so contrary to the relentless drumbeat narrative of the ubiquitous panic-mongers will understandably stop a reader dead in his or her tracks.

Against that more optimisitc possibility, I am going to try a new presentation, below, with the building blocks reassembled and restated.

PLEASE READ THROUGH THE FOLLOWING BULLET-POINT LIST. Then proceed to the remainder of the material at the link provided below.

  • Both the 2019-2020 seasonal flu and COVID-19 (C19) originated in East or Southeast Asia.

  • The flu appeared in October of 2019 (see this CDC graphic-- week 40 is the beginning of October), and C19 began spreading in November of 2019 (see here and here).

  • Both arrived in America (and everywhere else) with travelers from the area of origin or from places where someone from the area of origin had gone.

  • The vector (spread) mechanics of both diseases is the same (but with C19 being more aggressive, more persistent and with a longer contagion time for an infected carrier).

  • With fully a billion travelers flying during the months of November, 2019 to March of 2020, and with no restrictions in place of any kind on entry to the USA before the end of January, 2020 (and then only on travelers direct from Wuhan, and only those who were not American citizens), C19 MUST have entered the USA early in the 4+ month period of November, 2019 to March, 2020, and MUST have tracked (and most likely exceeded) the spread rate of the seasonal flu.

  • With the CDC figuring that 38-54 million flu infections happened in America between October, 2019 and March, 2020, and in light of the foregoing facts, there MUST have been many millions of C19 infections in America between November 2019 and March of 2020.

Let that sink in, please. There MUST have been many millions of C19 infections in America between November 2019 and March of 2020. All but the very last of those-- which means millions and millions of infections-- ran their course from beginning to end before mid-March, 2020. The total number of C19 fatalities during that period is only 97.

That's right, 97. See the CDC's report to this effect here (or directly on the CDC site, here; first table); it is the column on the left, in bold, that lists "all deaths involving COVID-19".

MILLIONS of infections, running their course from start to finish, yielding only 97 fatalities. I know, this is so much at odds with the sustained, delivered, drumbeat narrative that it almost prompts a mental hiccup making it invisible and instantly forgotten, right? "That can't be right!" you mutter to yourself...

But it IS right. You opened and examined the documentation at all the links above, didn't you? If you still have doubts, check any source you like.

NOW GO HERE AND READ EVERYTHING!!! Then spread it around and talk it up like your liberty depends upon it, 'cause trust me, IT DOES.

***

P.S. NOW THAT YOU'VE RETURNED TO THIS PAGE after reading everything at that link above and sending the link to everyone you can-- with an explanation and powerful exhortation to them to read, share, and then beat down the doors of their local newspapers and radio and TV stations insisting that the truth replace the lies-- I have one other thing to share with you on a related note:

At a meeting of a local activist organization this past Monday, Dr. Samuel T. Fawaz, who heads a team in internal medicine at Beaumont Hospital in the northwest suburbs of Detroit, addressed the group. He urged a common-sense, panic-free recognition that C19 is in no way the dire plague it has been made out to be, and passed along his own observations as a healthcare professional dealing with the real manifestations of the disease.

I asked him about his experiences treating with hydroxychloroquine/azithromycin/zinc.

Dr. Fawaz reported having successfully treated more than two hundred patients himself with the remedy. He also knowledgeably disparaged the designed-to-fail "clinical trials" of the treatment at neighboring organizations such as the Henry Ford health system.

Dr. Fawaz then made one other very interesting point which I think very much worth passing along. Observing that Central Africa has been puzzling everyone all year with its remarkably low C19 fatalities (see for instance, Central African Republic, population 4.7 million, C19 deaths so far: 62; Chad, population ~14 million, with C19 deaths so far of only 92); or Nigeria, population 206 million, with C19 deaths of only 1,116-- all figures as of October 16, 2020), the doctor pointed out that in that part of the world, very high numbers of people routinely take hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), or a close variant thereof, prophylactically and as a treatment against malaria.

My follow-up research shows the same remarkably low number of C19 deaths in the one major malaria (and therefore routine hydroxychloroquine) hotspot outside of Central Africa: Papua New Guinea. There, amongst a population of 9 million-- 1,188,000 of whom rub shoulders in urban populations centers-- there have been only 578 confirmed cases of C19 and a total of 7 deaths (as of 10/16/20).

How about that...

ACTUALLY, HERE'S "what about that": There is a thoroughly-proven cure for C19, which the enemies of liberty and the rule of law have striven to keep from you (with the effect of killing many Americans, btw). A big stink needs to be made about that, too.

The fact is, HCQ has been known as a powerful antiviral since at least 2005, and has been used effectively by many independent-minded American doctors this year, and has been deemed the best treatment for C19 by doctors all over the world. Anyone hindering its use (whether politically or by smearing it through designed-to-fail purported "clinical trials" and fake data) is doing so in order to perpetuate the fiction of C19 as a terrible plague in the face of which everything must change (which means, you must surrender autonomy to the state).

Are such hinderers your friends, or your enemies? You decide.

All governments are run by liars and nothing they say should be believed."

-I. F. Stone

On The "Income" Tax Front...

A fine new CtC-educated victory; a dodgy change in Form 4852; and an entertaining evasion by the IRS of an interesting FOIA request.

STEVEN AND TIA WARD have just secured a nice CtC-educated victory over the long-running "income" tax misapplication scheme. This law-respecting Texas couple claimed and received the return of everything that had been taken from them by Uncle Sam during 2019 under the self-serving and erroneous assumption that Steven and Tia's earnings were from privileged, tax-relevant activities.

Steven and Tia filed their claim in mid July per the special calendar adopted during the "COVID-19" panic-attack. Just ten days ago they received their complete refund of Social security, Medicare and all, along with more than $1,000 in interest due to the IRS exceeding the 45-day statutory limit in sending out their check:

You can see Steven and Tia's return here.

HATS OFF to Steven and Tia! This great victory join those of the tens of thousands of other awakened and activated Americans represented here. Each constitutes another critical 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!

The Latest Form 4852 Gimmick

IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION LAST WEEK that the IRS has once again released a new version of venerable Form 4852. The new model shifts from what had been a 2013 stand-down on earlier efforts to make the form confusing and discouraging into a new campaign to once again accomplish those corrupt goals.

Although the change is unwelcome, I think this community can take credit for the nervousness in the law-defying part of the tax agency which I would imagine prompted this reversion to a hunker-down defensive demeanor. Well done!

See the changes in the form discussed here.

An Entertaining Evasion By The IRS (Now With An Update!)

THE ALWAYS IMAGINATIVE and always active Rod Schmidt has shared another little gem of illumination and entertainment. A few weeks ago (on October 3) Rod filed a simple, one-sentence online FOIA request with the IRS:

No formal explanation was provided for the request (nor was any required), but in the field for justifying Rod's claim of fee exemption, he put this:

The response Rod received 5 days later is very interesting, in my mind. One might have expected a citation (or quote) of 26 U.S.C. § 61- Gross income defined, perhaps...

Of course, that response wouldn't have done, since a "definition" of "gross income" is a definition of nothing until "income" alone is defined. After all, being told that "gross floogle means all floogle, from whatever source derived", doesn't answer the question of what is either "floogle" OR "gross floogle".

But it's what you would have expected based on past performance by the IRS when faced with this question.

HOWEVER, I WILL FLATTER MYSELF with the notion that having had 17 years of facing knowledgeable and stalwart Americans from this CtC-educated community, the tax agency knows better than to try the shiny shit any longer. In any case, what Rod got back was pure evasion, illustrating the fact that the IRS isn't willing to even pretend to have an agency-mission-useful answer to his request:

Boiled down, this response (which misstates the date of Rod's request) goes right out of the gate dodging, weaving and vaguely threatening: "Your letter contains questions or statements that deal with the legality of the income tax system."

Really? How, exactly?

This could only be true if the legality of "the income tax system" (what a curious way of putting THAT, no?) would be implicated by an airing of the formal definition of tax-relevant "income" (or by a lack thereof). Remember, all Rod asked for was the public record setting forth that definition.

Then we get a ridiculous dodge about FOIA not being designed to "answer questions, perform research or create new documents". Rod didn't ask for any of those things-- he just asked for the public record setting forth the definition of "income".

Next comes an even more complete non-sequitur concerning "arguments challenging the constitutionality of income taxes or the authority of the IRS to enforce the tax laws or collect taxes.

Finally, the shut-down and blow-off, "closing" the request "for practical and policy reasons".

What fun! Nice pitch, Rod!!

UPDATE, Sunday, October 25, 2020:

AFTER READING THE POST ABOVE, the also excellent Jeremy Lee quickly put together a FOIA request of his own. Jeremy's request is toward the same end, but with a bit of customization in light of the dodges in the "response" sent to Rod. Here is how Jeremy put it:

Hey Pete and Georgia CtC Warriors,

After reading about Rod Schmidt's FOIA request and response on Monday, I immediately fired off a similar request, but tailored based on their silly response to Rod.

Here is my tailored FOIA request: I am aware that the federal income tax is, and always has been, lawful, legal, and constitutional. I am also aware that the IRS has full authority to enforce the tax laws and collect taxes. I do not desire an extended correspondence. Instead I simply request the public record which sets forth the definition of "income."

And I used the same reason for no fee that he did: The general public needs to know the definition of "income" so they can fill out tax returns correctly.

[Here is the response] I received by mail just 5 days later:

For me, the most important takeaway is what the response doesn't say. If "income" legally means what "they" want us to assume it means, then their response would be short and sweet: "Income means all money that comes in".

Jeremy

Nice follow up, Jeremy!

I wonder how much the temperature would rise in the law-defiers' lair if ten thousand such requests flooded in?

Not Letting This "Crisis" Go To Waste...

...an important action item opportunity.

FRIENDS, THE SPORADIC BITS OF EASING of the despotic measures to which most of the country has been subjected this year 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...

Other Voices (followed by an important afterword)

This one's a few weeks old, but only the reference to the Trumps and the Amazon workers having just "tested positive" is out of date.

The Absurdity Of Covid "Cases"

by Jeff Deist

Today’s headlines announced Donald and Melania Trump “tested positive” for covid-19. Another claims nineteen thousand Amazon workers “got” covid-19 on the job. Both of these pseudostories are sure to ignite another absurd media frenzy.

As always, the story keeps changing: Remember ventilators, flatten the curve, the next two weeks are crucial, etc.? Remember Nancy Pelosi in Chinatown back in February, urging everyone to visit? Remember Fauci dismissing masks as useless? Why should we believe anything the political/media complex tells us now?

So what do these headlines really mean? What exactly is a covid “case”?

Since the beginning of the coronavirus outbreak, most US media outlets have been exceedingly credulous and complicit in their reporting. Journalists almost uniformly promote what we can call the “prolockdown” narrative, which is to wildly exaggerate the risks from covid-19 to serve a political agenda. They may be motivated to hurt Trump politically, to promote a more socialist “new normal,” or simply to drive more clicks and views. Bad news sells. But the bias is clear and undeniable.

This explains why media outlets use the terms “case” and “infection” so loosely, to the point of actively misinforming the public. All of the endless talk about testing, testing, testing served to obscure two important facts. First, the tests themselves are almost laughably unreliable in producing both false positives and negatives. And what is the point? Are we going to test people again and again, every time they go out to the grocery or bump into a neighbor? Second, detecting virus particles or droplets in a human’s respiratory tract tells us very little. It certainly does not tell us they are sick, or transmitting sickness to anyone.

Take a perfectly healthy person with no particular symptoms and swab the inside of their nose. If the culture shows the presence of staphylococcus aureus, do we insist they have a staph infection? When someone drives to work without incident or accident, do we create statistics about their exposure to traffic?

—A virus is not a disease. Only a very small percentage of those exposed to the virus itself—SARS-CoV-2—show any kind of acute respiratory symptoms, or what we can call “coronavirus disease.”

The only meaningful statistics show the incidence of serious illness, hospitalizations, and deaths. The single most important statistic among these is the infection fatality rate (IFR). Data collected through July shows that the IFR for those under age forty-five is actually lower than that of the common flu. The covid-19 IFR rises for those over fifty, but it is hardly a death sentence. And the data does not segregate those with preexisting health issues caused by obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. If we could see data only for reasonably healthy people under fifty, the numbers would be even more reassuring.

Mild or asymptomatic covid cases are effectively meaningless. The world is full of bacteria and viruses, and sometimes they make us a bit sick for a few days. There are millions of them in the world all around us, on our skin, in our nose and respiratory tract, in our organs. We are meant to live with them, which is why we all have immune systems designed to help us coexist and adapt to ever-changing organisms. We develop antibodies naturally, or we attempt to stimulate them through vaccines, but ultimately our own immune systems have to deal with covid-19. The virus will always be out there waiting, on the other side of any lockdown or mask—so we might as well get on with it.

From day one the focus should have been on boosting immunity through exercise, fresh air, sunlight, proper dietary supplementation, and the promotion of general well-being. Instead our politicians, bureaucrats, and media insisted on business lockdowns, school closures, distancing, isolation, masks, and the mirage of a fast, effective vaccine. As with almost everything in life, state intervention made the situation worse. We can only hope many governors are removed from office, either by impeachment or at the next election. Several, including Andrew Cuomo in New York and Gretchen Whitmer in Michigan, should face criminal charges for their lawless edicts. There is no due process exception for “public health.”

Afterword

DEIST HITS THE NAIL ON THE HEAD in this commentary. "Cases" mean nothing-- indeed, as I have shown here, the majority of what are now called "cases" most likely reflect infections that ran their course in millions of Americans last winter, leaving PCR-detectable residue in long-since perfectly healthy (and now likely immune) people.

And Deist's reference to IFR data through July understates how dramatically the data shows C19 to be insignificant as a health hazard. Here are the current CDC figures on C19 infection fatality ratios (as posted on its site on 10-19-20):

0-19 years: 0.00003

20-49 years: 0.0002

50-69 years: 0.005

70+ years: 0.054

To put this in perspective, look at the IFR figures used to rank severity of influenza outbreaks.

Plainly, C19 is a nothing-burger. The idea that huge swaths of the world have been shut down over this, and political hacks and media talking heads speak of-- and are attempting to cement in place-- an individual-autonomy-crushing "new normal" in response would be ludicrous, if the effects of that panic-attack nonsense had not already been so horrendous.

But those effects HAVE been horrendous, and if the fanning and exploitation of the panic are not stopped dead in their tracks and reversed right quick, it's all going to get worse and will reach a point from which there is no recovery. And so, I must once again risk unpleasant stridency by shouting: THIS ATTACK IS HUGELY DANGEROUS!!!

This pandemic panic-attack is insidious in its intellectual rationale and its ability to mobilize on its behalf the instinctive fear-factor and its hind-brain reflexive responses. Those hind-brain responses shut down cognition and generate a lemming-like mindless acceptance-- and even support-- for whatever the reptilian brains of would-be tyrants care to offer as safety measures, however false or unneeded, and however destructive of liberty and permanently-erosive of the rule of law they may be.

The peril to the American way of life from this pandemic panic-attack is greater than anything anyone alive has ever faced. Too few seem to understand this.

Too many Americans are running screaming for the closet in fear of C19, when all should be running screaming in anger, torches and pitchforks in hand, toward those pushing the panic.

THIS COMMUNITY NEEDS TO GET OUT and GET LOUD debunking and denouncing the false narrative of a deadly viral peril. Until that pretense has been stripped of its potency, all America-- even all of Western Civilization-- is at risk of collapse. The ratchet-up of state power and the ratchet-down of individual autonomy on the table from this particular kind of hobgoblin assault is unlike any other.

In particular (and to get this afterword back on track with the theme of the article to which it relates), it needs to be made as clear as possible to all candidates and pollsters and media that fear of C19 is NOT an issue for you as a voter or as an American, and that any candidate or party that treats it as such will be denied your support and your vote.

We need to make C19 hobgoblin-flogging the hot potato issue that every candidate, party and talking head tries to be the fastest to drop.

Staying silent about this means becoming a permanent victim of the panic-attack agenda. Don't do it.

IN ADDITION TO DENOUNCING the pandemic panic-mongering, btw, spread the means by which the Leviathan state, which will otherwise be used to enforce the evils of the attack, can and must be shrunk to a more harmless size. Even if the current hobgoblin effort fails, there will always be a next one. The only real security from such despotic assaults is to keep the enforcement mechanism upon which they all rely small and relatively insufficient for the task.

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)."

-Mark C. 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.

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...

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.
