A presentation of simple, indisputable facts that will change many answers to
this question:
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

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.

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.
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.
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.
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."
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:
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 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!
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?
Share these all, everywhere you can. Be your most
creative self in sending and "selling" these links. Do memes; make

If you pay attention to the news and train yourself to

can make use in awakening other Americans to the virtues of having
the income tax correctly administered. Please, for my sake, for your

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.
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
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.

explaining what will be seen at the link-- cryptic
is bad; excited is good-- and then send this WMI

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.”
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):
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.
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!
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.
October 20- In 1803, the U.S. Senate
ratifies the Louisiana Purchase. In 1947, the House Un-American Activities
Committee begins its investigation of communist infiltration of Hollywood. In
1955, 'The Return Of The King', the last book in Tolkien's 'Lord Of The Rings'
trilogy, is published. In 1973, the "Saturday Night Massacre" takes place, with
Richard Nixon firing Attorney General Elliot Richardson and Deputy Attorney
General William Ruckelshaus after they refuse to fire Watergate prosecutor
Archibald Cox, who is finally fired by Robert Bork. In 2011, Moammar Ghaddafi
was killed as part of a United States coup intended to thwart Chinese
investments and development of oil interests in Libya, as well Ghaddafi's move
toward eliminating the US dollar as the sole currency accepted for oil sales.

There are real great deeds to be done,

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:
October 22- In 1797, the first parachute jump is made-- a 3,000
foot drop from a hot-air balloon to the delight of a crowd of onlookers in
Paris, France. In 1836, Sam Houston is inaugurated as the first president of
the Republic of Texas. In 1907, a bank run on the Knickerbocker Trust Company
causes its collapse and sparks the "Panic of 1907". In 1964, Jean-Paul Sartre
is awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, but declines the honor. In 2008,
India launches its first spacecraft to the moon.
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.

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."

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.
