Renewed C19 Panic-Propaganda Serves To Hamper And Discourage Resistance To The Election Fraud

The hypnotic drumbeat is revved back up in the hope that it still has its evil magic.

I HAVE BEEN RELUCTANT to ascribe motives to the C19 panic-mongering this year, although several seem clear enough. For instance, some folks (Bill Gates and Anthony Fauci, for example) stand to make a lot of money selling vaccines to governments (and perhaps directly to individuals).

But while following the money is easy, it's harder to pin down political motivations for flogging this faux hobgoblin.

It has been tempting to assume the following:

THE INITIAL POLITICAL BUY-IN to the "crisis" narrative was organic: the media having treated C19 as apocalyptic, the political impulse was to join the chorus (to forestall the danger of being blamed if things really did go south). Because Donald Trump chose a low-key posture as his response, opposition Democrats-- primarily Democrat state governors and their fellow-travelers-- felt compelled to go hard the other way.

"Going hard" involved chiming in on the apocalyptic screeching, and then the issuing of allegedly-necessary "emergency" edicts shutting down large portions of the country in order to "flatten the curve" and prevent a supposed risk of swamping healthcare facilities.

Once the first "lockdowns" had been imposed and the affected populations had proven compliant, the situation was recognized as ripe for exploitation. At that point (goes the speculation), deliberate steps were taken to damage the American economy on which Donald Trump would be relying in his re-election effort by extending the "lockdowns".

An early indicator of this political calculation going into action as a driver behind the (illegal) executive "lockdowns", masking and "social distancing" edicts was the reaction of these oppositional actors to the hydroxychloroquine cure for C19 (HCQ). This thoroughly proven treatment was, and has continued to be, actually prohibited from use in many of the areas under the sway of Trump's opponents, simply because he touted its virtues once he became aware of its successful use in French trials. (See more on that here, here and here, and see a recent summary of the data on HCQ here.)

BEFORE LONG, the political actors responsible for the "lockdowns" had created a serious problem for themselves. You see, only 97 Americans had died of C19 during the first four months after the disease began spreading in the USA-- and in which some 38 - 54 million Americans had caught C19 and had it harmlessly runs its course (while also leaving inert but PCR-detectable residue in those many millions, able to be misrepresented as a "case").

But the pathologies generated by the exaggerated panic-mongering, gubernatorial policies of seeding nursing homes with residents infected with respiratory diseases, and the suppression of HCQ succeeded in generating a rate of alleged C19-related deaths of around 97 every 90 minutes during the following two-and-a-half months. (See that story and documentation here.)

At that point (early May), these state executive officials had a lot of blood on their hands. It appears to have become obvious to them that letting the apocalypse threat fade away would end badly, from their point of view. So, the drums began to beat out the "Second Wave" tune in order to keep the protective panic alive-- even while at the same time a lot of "mitigation mandates" were eased up in the face of increasingly restive populations and a precipitous and persistent drop in the declared death rates immediately commenced.

(It will be noted that in this latest CDC report linked above, the total fatality figure for last winter has gone up by 11, from 97 in earlier compilations to 108 now. This was accomplished by the retroactive ascription of C19 as being involved in those additional deaths last winter... Assign the adjustment as much validity as you wish.)

As in the initial "lockdown" theatrical, the alleged mitigation measures imposed under the pretext of the "Second Wave" have been random, contradictory, nonsensical and revised at unexpected intervals, and all with complete opacity as to the purported "science" and "data" behind any of them. These characteristics have the effect of keeping their targets confused and distracted by having to focus on constant adjustments to new conditions and by being induced to spend attention on related discourse and grumbling, rather than having the time and equilibrium to pause and say, "Wait a minute...!"

Moreover, the alleged mitigation measures relied upon enforcement by co-opted private business owners, for the most part. This made difficult the targeting of whatever ire and opposition DID find a foothold in the afflicted population at large, with the front-line offenders being ever-varying, diffuse, and often seemingly as much a victim as the aggrieved, if not entirely faceless: "It's corporate policy... there's nothing I can do, sir..."

All these aspects of the "lockdown" edicts (and those concerning masking, and "social distancing", etc.) contribute significantly to the difficulty of the victimized public in simply organizing its thinking on the whole situation as individuals, much less organizing en masse in opposition.

AT AROUND THE SAME TIME that the "Second Wave" narrative was rolling out, a number of Democratic administrations-- most notably in electorally-significant (battleground) states-- began taking steps to use the C19 panic as a pretext for (often unilateral-- and hence, illegal) introductions of universal "mail-in" voting. This was done by way of ballots sent to all voters on a state or districts registration rolls, many of which are hugely out-of-date.

The obvious (and predicted, and borne-out) consequence of thus putting into potential play many ballots ostensibly addressed to ineligible (often dead) voters, which are easily completed and submitted fraudulently (perhaps by holding back from the mail a portion of those ballots, which can then be completed by the schemers as needed and added to those being tabulated), would seem to have been the purpose of this exercise. Certainly, it was an outcome of the exercise...

Or, the object may have been to generate a chaotic cover for other manipulations of the vote. There is evidence in support of that speculation, as well.

(This thuggish and grossly-improper behavior should surprise no one. After all, the Democratic Party leadership has been working hard to convince its base that every member has been systematically screwed by "The Man" for his or her entire life, and that "The Man" is represented by the Republicans. It's only natural that some, if not all, of those "victims" are perfectly willing to cheat their way to power, in what they imagine is just the fair play of "turnabout".

Let's not forget that this "street fight justice" perspective was widely expressed in the most overt terms not long ago, until it was recognized as inconveniently straightforward.  Remember "By Any Means Necessary"?)

And that brings us to today, and a sudden new "lockdown" wave, coinciding with no meaningful C19-related event. So-called "case" numbers have been high for months (and are simply due to more tests being done which detect the inert residue of millions of infections long-since come and gone and indicating nothing more than an ever-larger portion of the population being immune to the disease); fatalities remain low.

Instead, the new "lockdown" wave coincides only with the ongoing exposure of massive vote fraud by Democratic Political machines in certain cities and states on behalf of the Biden campaign (and a few senate candidates).

NOW, AS I SAID AT THE BEGINNING, I'm reluctant to ascribe political motives to the C19 affair. But if I were to do so, I would not hesitate at this juncture to posit that the current "lockdown" wave is explicitly meant to hinder, disrupt, discourage and derail the challenges currently being mustered by Trump supporters (and also by Americans like me who can't stand Trump but revere the rule of law).

Don't let this happen, people!!

Denounce every illegal "lockdown" order and refuse to play along. Explain to every business owner that when they play along with those orders they facilitate and participate in their illegality and the erosion of the rule of law that comes with them.

Make clear to every panic-drum-beating, "Don't forget your mask!"-smirking media shill you can reach that they are doing wrong, and it is not going unnoticed.

In short, defend yourselves. Your future, and that of your kids, is on the line.

"God grants liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it."

-Daniel Webster

P.S. I HOPE EVERYONE IS TAKING NOTE of the widespread tendency of MSM outlets to report on whatever are the latest edicts vomited forth by various governors or their surrogates in state "public health" departments which presume to dictate the behavior of the people, while never mentioning that all such edicts are illegal and without any actual authority at all. Such omissions tag those responsible as "fake news" peddlers, rather than actual journalists.

The pretense behind these omissions is that because the courts which have ruled such edicts illegal specifically addressed those issued in the name of a particular offender (such as a governor), those issued by other executive-branch officials are yet to be condemned. This is not true.

What these Supreme Courts have said in their rulings is that ALL executive-branch officials (and anyone else not constituting the duly-elected legislature) are incapable of legally having, being given, or exercising the purported authority to issue such edicts, regardless of the purported reasons for them. See the background information here.

The issuance of every such edict is illegal, and an expression of contempt for the rule of law. Those involved should be denounced and duly prosecuted.

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

The Bill Of No Rights

Every so often I feel it necessary to re-post this, and never more than now...

I sure wish I could take credit for more than just tweaking this a bit, but I can't. It was simply sent to me anonymously fifteen years ago or more...

Enjoy.

WE, THE SENSIBLE OF THE UNITED STATES, in an attempt to help everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid any more riots, keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior and secure the blessings of debt-free liberty to ourselves and our great-great-great grandchildren, hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some common sense guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt-ridden delusional, and other socialist snowflake bed-wetters.

Please, all of you in the latter category, pay close attention!

WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS TO BE SELF-EVIDENT, that a whole lot of people were confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim that they require a Bill of No Rights. Wherefore, we offer the following:

ARTICLE I

You do not have the right to a new car, big-screen color TV or any other form of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire them, but no one is guaranteeing anything.

ARTICLE II

You do not have the right to never be offended. This country is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone -- not just you! You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion, etc., but the world is full of idiots, and probably always will be.

ARTICLE III

You do not have the right to be free from harm. If you stick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful, do not expect the tool manufacturer to make you and all of your relatives independently wealthy.

ARTICLE IV

You do not have the right to free food and housing. Americans are the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone in need, but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generation after generation of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing more than the creation of another generation of professional couch potatoes.

ARTICLE V

You do not have the right to free health care. That would be nice, but from the looks of public housing, we're just not interested in public health care.

ARTICLE VI

You do not have the right to physically harm other people. If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim or kill someone, don't be surprised if the rest of us get together and kill you.

ARTICLE VII

You do not have the right to the possessions of others. If you rob, cheat, or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don't be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place where you still won't have the right to a big-screen color TV or a life of leisure.

ARTICLE VIII

You do not have the right to demand that our children risk their lives in foreign wars to soothe your aching conscience. We hate oppressive governments and won't lift a finger to stop you from going to fight if you'd like. However, we do not enjoy parenting the entire world and do not want to spend so much of our time battling each and every little tyrant with a military uniform and a funny hat.

ARTICLE IX

You do not have the right to a job. All of us sure want you to have one, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expect you to take advantage of the opportunities in education and vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful.

ARTICLE X

You do not have the right to happiness. Being an American means that you have the right to pursue happiness -- which, by the way, is a lot easier if you are unencumbered by an overabundance of idiotic laws created by those around you who were confused by the Bill of Rights.

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...

Lockdown Despotism And The "Control Panel" Delusion

Why the Biden-Harris COVID-19 plan is so ominous.

by Dan Sanchez

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris recently updated their “plan to beat COVID-19.” One passage is worth examining for the dangerous mentality it betrays:

“Social distancing is not a light switch. It is a dial. President-elect Biden will direct the CDC [Centers for Disease Control] to provide specific evidence-based guidance for how to turn the dial up or down relative to the level of risk and degree of viral spread in a community, including when to open or close certain businesses, bars, restaurants, and other spaces; when to open or close schools, and what steps they need to take to make classrooms and facilities safe; appropriate restrictions on size of gatherings; when to issue stay-at-home restrictions.”

The passage brings to mind a warning given to America long ago.

The warning was delivered in 1835 by Alexis de Tocqueville, the famous French observer and admirer of the young republic. In his classic book Democracy in America, de Tocqueville included a chapter called, “What Sort Of Despotism Democratic Nations Have To Fear,” in which he warned the American people of:

“...an immense and tutelary power, which takes upon itself alone to secure their gratifications, and to watch over their fate. That power is absolute, minute, regular, provident, and mild. It would be like the authority of a parent, if, like that authority, its object was to prepare men for manhood; but it seeks on the contrary to keep them in perpetual childhood...”

Does the Biden/Harris “plan to beat COVID-19” represent the kind of despotic power that de Tocqueville warned us about? Let’s see.

Freedoms Trampled

Is the power “absolute”? Well not yet, at least, since it refers to CDC “guidance” as opposed to federal mandates. But governors and mayors have proven to be quite deferential to the CDC, so its “guidance” has translated into state and local-level mandates before and likely will again.

Is the power “immense”? Clearly. It covers the opening and closing, not only of restaurants and bars, but of all businesses. Thus, it claims sway over the country’s entire in-person economy and commercial life, regardless of private property and self-ownership.

The plan covers, not only businesses, but all spaces: that is, everything about the coming and going of Americans, again irrespective of individual rights.

The plan also encompasses all gatherings wherever they may occur, thus violating “the right of the people peaceably to assemble,” as enshrined in the First Amendment.

The plan entails “stay-at-home restrictions,” meaning the power to imprison at will Americans in their own homes, violating the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, according to which neither the federal government nor any state is allowed to “deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.”

So, yes, the plan is very immense, both in its scope and impact.

Afterword

SANCHEZ QUOTES RELEVANT AND USEFUL words from Toqueville, Mises and Hayek. I'm going to add some to the same effect from C.S. Lewis, another intellectual giant and deep lover of liberty:

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber barons cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Here's another observation going to the point by Daniel Webster:

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for any assumption of power. The Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."

And here are the three most concise statements of the issue I know:

"Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves."

-William Pitt,

 

"The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule."

-H.L. Mencken,

and,

"A nation of sheep begets a government of wolves."

-Edward R. Murrow

I hope the message from all of this is clear: The continuing exploitation of fear by opportunistic politicians and others must be recognized as intolerable, because it is so dangerous. The failure of the American people-- each one as an individual with individual moral agency-- to rise up against the tyrannies being promoted under the pretext and pretense of C19 as some dire threat justifying the abandonment of all our principles is an act of mass suicide.

Am I being clear enough?

Like Gulliver, while we sleep (or lie paralyzed with indecision) tiny enemies of our liberty are sewing us to the ground more and more inescapably, while murmuring soothing lies about doing it all for our own good. Soon we will be entirely within their power and able only to weep and curse our foregone opportunities at self defense.

Does this sound hyperbolic? Think back over what has happened in America-- and indeed, much of the world-- since last March. Had I spun to you the tale of those past 8 months back in January, you would have scoffed and accused me of being hyperbolic-- even wild-eyed.

I WON'T GO SO FAR AS TO ADVOCATE any particular manner of "rising up" (other than the most rudimentary and fundamental acts of refusing to abide by any and all illegal "mandates", and denouncing as visibly and persistently as possible those who issue them, promote them, and enforce them-- those latter two being so-called journalists and co-opted private businesspeople). But I will continue to remind everyone that a key defense for the people against despotism is the power individual Americans have over the purse from which all bad state behavior is financed.

That defense was put in place by the Founders in anticipation of just the sort of corruption that reigns today.

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

Read it through, yourself. Then share it as widely as you can.

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..."

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...

(Edward Snowden, come home! It was all just a bad dream; there really is No Such Agency!)

Illuminating anniversaries of this week:

November 17- In 1734, Peter Zenger is arrested for "seditious libel"-- publishing criticisms of the Governor of New York.  He was acquitted of the charge after his jury was informed of its inherent authority to judge the legitimacy of the law under which Zenger was charges, as well as the fact question of whether he had, in fact, done what the law purported to prohibit.  In 1777, the Articles of Confederation are submitted to the several American States for ratification.  In 1869, the Suez Canal opens.  In 1967, Lyndon Johnson reports to the American public that the United States military is making progress in Vietnam.  In 1970, Lt. William Calley goes on trial for the My Lai massacre; the Soviet Union lands Lunokhod 1 on the Moon-- the first extra-terrestrially deployed roving remote-controlled robot; and Douglas Engelbart patents the mouse.  In 1973, Richard Nixon tells the assembled managing editors of Associated Press, "I am not a crook!"  In 1989, a police suppression of a peaceful student protest in Prague sparks the "Velvet Revolution", which overthrows the more-than forty-year-old communist government of Czechoslovakia in less than six weeks.  In 2004, Kmart announces its purchase of Sears, Roebuck and Co..  In 2019, the first known case of "COVID-19" appears in Wuhan, China.

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

About The Author

Pete Hendrickson is possibly the most effective lawyer in history, even while never having set foot in a law school, nor ever being a card-carrying member of "the bar". He is the first American in history to secure a complete refund of Social Security and Medicare ‘contributions’ withheld from his earnings (along with all other property taken for federal taxes); further, since 2003 students of his legal analyses and arguments in ‘Cracking the Code- The Fascinating Truth About Taxation In America’’ (CtC), and its sequel, 'Was Grandpa Really a Moron?' have been routinely retaining and recovering billions of dollars which otherwise-- wrongly, but as a matter of course-- would have gone to federal or state government treasuries. This despite concerted efforts by government to suppress his work, and in some cases vigorously oppose the claims by his students.

Hendrickson is also a widely-read essayist on matters of politics, public policy and law; many of these works are collected in his second book, ‘Upholding the Law And Other Observations’. He is a member of Mensa; an award-winning artist; and has paid his dues as a youth soccer coach. He is a long-time political activist as well, and has served as co-chair and platform convention delegate of Michigan’s largest county Libertarian Party organization; as a consultant to the National Right to Work Foundation and Citizens for a Sound Economy; as a member of the Heartland Institute; and as a member of the International Society for Individual Liberty. He is a frequent radio-show guest on stations across the country.

Hendrickson's business career has included nearly a decade-and-a-half at the leading edge of the renewable-energy industry, both as Director of Purchasing and Materials Management and member of the R&D board at Starpak Energy Systems, the mid-west's then-largest solar heating and energy-recovery-and re-utilization company; and as founder and president of AFJ Inc., a high-efficiency lighting design, manufacture and installation firm.

Beginning in the mid-1990s and continuing for the twelve years before his present full-time focus on the restoration of the rule of law in America, Hendrickson directed purchasing activities for the $84 million-a-year multi-family-housing division of the Farmington Hills, Michigan branch of Edward Rose and Sons, with responsibility for 18,000+ apartments, direct supervision of 35 technicians and agents, and incidental authority over several hundred divisional workers. He also ran the division's 10 cable television earth-station and distribution systems in four states, and designed and administered the company's website.

On rather the other end of the spectrum, amidst these more mundane pursuits Hendrickson co-founded and was the primary creative force behind a small board- and card-game company that enjoyed a modest success for several years.

Hendrickson makes his home in southeast Michigan, with his wife and two children. He is currently working on his next book.
