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.

Sleepwalking Down The Nightmare Road To Serfdom

There's little a writer likes less than to sound strident. But sometimes what needs to be said can take on no other tone, and it falls to the reader to suppress the recoil reflex and to recognize the urgency of the message.

LET'S WARM UP with a couple of observations on the general issue of deception as a tool in service to agenda unlikely to find favor (read: certain to be rejected, maybe even violently) if unvarnished with concealing craft:

"[I]t’s always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it’s a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."

–Hermann Goering

 

"[I]n the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying."

-Adolf Hitler

 

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

-Edmund Burke

 

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

-I. F. Stone

OKAY, NOW LET ME GET TO THE SHOUTING: Over the last two publications of this newsletter (the November 30 edition and the December 7 mid-edition update) I have provided everyone with the research products of two extremely credentialed experts with backgrounds deep in the mainstream (one from Johns Hopkins and one from Pfizer). One of these folks-- Genevieve Briand-- is in the US and one-- Michael Yeadon-- is in the UK.

Briand and Yeadon made the cut as newsworthy because over the last two months each was struck by the dawning realization that despite all the eyewash raining down from "official" sources and being sprayed into everyone's face by a fever-swamp 24/7 media campaign more monolithic than any seen since the consent engineering for the invasion of Iraq, there have actually been no excess deaths in either the US or the UK during the time each was supposedly being ravaged by plague. NO EXCESS DEATHS.

Both Briand and Yeadon realized that, as Yeadon put it: "If there are no excess deaths, there is no pandemic." Full stop.

Both Briand and Yeadon echo what I have been pointing out here for many months: The alleged C19 deaths have been normal, predictable deaths from the normal variety of causes, which have just been mischaracterized as "C19 deaths".

So I ask you: WHY ARE THESE REVELATIONS NOT THE ONLY FOCUS OF ALL COMMENTARY AND DISCUSSION OF THE C19 SUBJECT?!

Why, for instance, are people still talking of vaccines and whether or not they are safe when the rationale for vaccines has been destroyed? Talking about the safety of vaccines in light of Briand and Yeadon's revelations is letting the tail wag the dog-- and hence, losing the argument.

THINK ABOUT IT. AS LONG AS PEOPLE BELIEVE C19 is an unprecedented plague, irresistible pressure will push vaccinations, safe or not, just as irresistible pressure has pushed businesses to demand masks and "social distancing" and allowed government officials to ignore the law and claim the authority to mandate such things, and worse.

There have already been tens of thousands of people who have taken vaccines for which even as little as one-year adverse effects cannot be known. Hysterical fear, professionally ignited and relentlessly fanned, has consumed many, many minds far past the point of rationality.

Hence, as long as people believe C19 is an unprecedented plague, every worker will be required to be vaccinated-- safely or not. So, too, will every traveler and every customer of other services. Such demands have been successfully made the interest of every commercial enterprise-- by presenting C19 as an unprecedented plague.

Everyone seeking to enter a government building will have to be scanned for a vaccine ID, too. In short order, such a scan will perhaps be necessary simply to be allowed out in public anywhere. And so on, all despite the fact that those who are not vaccinated are no threat to anyone who is-- something about which little or no punditry can be seen (outside these pages).

If problems DO surface with the vaccines before all the above is already a fait accompli, we'll just have more shutdowns and all the rest of the social pathologies of the last ten months until sufficient reassurance is offered to quiet any mainstream concerns... BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL STILL BELIEVE THAT C19 IS AN UNPRECEDENTED PLAGUE.

You can complain all you want that people SHOULDN'T sacrifice liberties and the rule of law for what they imagine is a little safety, but they do. Hence, the only solution to the C19 problem, being as high-momentum a hoax as it has become, is to produce a hurricane of voices showing that C19 is NOT an unprecedented plague.

SO, HERE'S TODAY'S SIMPLE MESSAGE: Stop all tweeting and posting and pontificating in regard to the C19 subject except to announce that the science shows no excess deaths have actually occurred. Change the messaging to nothing but the fact that all the scary numbers said to have been of C19 fatalities-- supposedly in addition to the rate of normal fatalities for this year-- are just normal expected annual fatalities which have been systematically mislabeled.

That is, change the message to the fact that fatalities ascribed to C19 have been counted in isolation, with the total number characterized as an addition to normal expected death rates, when in fact, each entry in the "C19-related" category is offset by a corresponding reduction in normal and expected fatalities that would otherwise be listed as from other causes (such as influenza, pneumonia, COPD, heart disease, hypertension, etc.), per shameless government instructions to do so-- read through this material and its exhibits to see those directives.

In short, become part of a monolithic roar awakening people to the fact that C19 is NOT an unprecedented plague.

Again, focusing on any aspect of the C19 subject OTHER than that it is NOT a terrible scourge is to concede the one thing fueling all the other pathologies against which you would rail, and which, if conceded, makes all the rest of your arguments futile.

What we are faced with is a civilizational coup attempt-- a serious-as-a-heart-attack assault on what remains of classical liberalism in the Western World. We are being berated and blustered and bullshitted into enserfment, paralyzed into inaction or spooked into running in 50 different directions while we are shorn of our unalienable rights under a mantra of "public necessity" and illusions of technocratic benevolence and competence.

It's time and past time to wake up, get on the same page, and drain the fuel out of the panic-mongering false narrative that is making this nightmare possible.

***

BTW, RESEARCH SUPPLEMENTING Genevieve Briand and Michael Yeadon's will be most helpful, and isn't necessarily hard to do. Here, for instance, is the recent post of Germany's officials concerning the 2020 death rate compared to recent past years:

Note that the humps in 2020 in this graph in the comparative charting (the first and biggest of which is implied to be C19 deaths by the "of which COVID-19" isolated portion on the bottom) actually follow humps of the same or even greater fatality rates in prior years. Also, note that some spikes observed in representations of 2020 deaths, such as the spike around week 33 to week 35 (August) in the model above, aren't C19 attributed even by the relevant panic-mongering governments (although they might in part be from "lockdown"-related pathologies...).

HERE IS THE CDC's modeling of US deaths by cause during this past year:

Focus on the middle-of-the-pack ranking of respiratory disease fatalities this year-- where C19 fatalities are accounted, and the kind which is most typically ascribed to C19, whether accurately or not. (But in regard to US data, it is better overall that you see-- and point your readers toward-- Genevieve Briand's much more comprehensive and competent presentation found here.)

Both of these graphics were acquired from the relevant sources yesterday after simple searches. You can do this, too.

***

P.S. OPPOSE ALL FURTHER "C19 BAILOUTS". These simply encourage people to quietly watch their businesses and jobs evaporate under illegal "lockdown" orders by paying them to do so through the inflation-generated diminishment of your assets (and everyone else's). Better that these folks be feeling the pain and up in arms in defense of their rights and their property.

"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."

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...

Coronavirus Scandal Breaking in Merkel’s Germany

By F. William Engdahl

The widely-praised German model of the Angela Merkel regime to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic is now engulfed in a series of potentially devastating scandals going to the very heart of the testing and medical advice being used to declare draconian economic shutdowns and next, de facto mandatory vaccinations. The scandals involve a professor at the heart of Merkel’s corona advisory group. The implications go far beyond German borders to the very WHO itself and their global recommendations.

The entire case for WHO-mandated emergency lockdown of businesses, schools, churches and other social arenas worldwide is based on a test introduced, amazingly early on, in the Wuhan, China coronavirus saga. On January 23, 2020, in the scientific journal Eurosurveillance, of the EU Center for Disease Prevention and Control, Dr. Christian Drosten, along with several colleagues from the Berlin Virology Institute at Charite Hospital, along with the head of a small Berlin biotech company, TIB Molbiol Syntheselabor GmbH, published a study claiming to have developed the first effective test for detecting whether someone is infected with the novel coronavirus identified first only days before in Wuhan. The Drosten article was titled, “Detection of 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) by real-time RT-PCR” (Eurosurveillance 25(8) 2020).

The news was greeted with immediate endorsement by the corrupt Director General of WHO, Tedros Adhanom, the first non-medical doctor to head WHO. Since then the Drosten-backed test for the virus, called a real-time or RT-PCR test, has spread via WHO worldwide, as the most used test protocol to determine if a person might have COVID-19, the illness.

On November 27 a highly-respected group of 23 international virologists, microbiologists and related scientists published a call for Eurosurveillance to retract the January 23, 2020 Drosten article. Their careful analysis of the original piece is damning. Theirs is a genuine “peer review.” They accuse Drosten and cohorts of “fatal” scientific incompetence and flaws in promoting their test.

To begin with, as the critical scientists reveal, the paper that established the Drosten PCR test for the Wuhan strain of coronavirus that has subsequently been adopted with indecent haste by the Merkel government along with WHO for worldwide use–resulting in severe lockdowns globally and an economic and social catastrophe–was never peer-reviewed before its publication by Eurosurveillance journal. The critics point out that, “the Corman-Drosten paper was submitted to Eurosurveillance on January 21st 2020 and accepted for publication on January 22nd 2020. On January 23rd 2020 the paper was online.” Incredibly, the Drosten test protocol, which he had already sent to WHO in Geneva on 17 January, was officially recommended by WHO as the worldwide test to determine presence of Wuhan coronavirus, even before the paper had been published.

As the critical authors point out, for a subject so complex and important to world health and security, a serious 24-hour “peer review” from at least two experts in the field is not possible. The critics point out that Drosten and his co-author Dr. Chantal Reusken, did not disclose a glaring conflict of interest. Both were also members of the editorial board of Eurosurveillance. Further, as reported by BBC and Google Statistics, on January 21 there were a world total of 6 deaths being attributed to the Wuhan virus. They ask, “Why did the authors assume a challenge for public health laboratories while there was no substantial evidence at that time to indicate that the outbreak was more widespread than initially thought?” Another co-author of the Drosten paper that gave a cover of apparent scientific credibility to the Drosten PCR procedure was head of the company who developed the test being marketed today, with the blessing of WHO, in the hundreds of millions, Olfert Landt, of Tib-Molbiol in Berlin, but Landt did not disclose that pertinent fact in the Drosten paper either.

Certainly nothing suspicious or improper here, or? It would be relevant to know if Drosten, the Merkel chief scientific advisor for COVID-19, Germany’s de facto “Tony Fauci,” gets a percentage for each test sold by Tib-Molbiol in their global marketing agreement with Roche.

False Positives?

Since late January 2020, world mainstream media has inundated us all with frightening hourly updates on “the total number of coronavirus infected.” Usually they simply add each daily increase to a global total of “confirmed cases,” presently over 66 million. Alarming, but for the fact that, as Pieter Borger and his fellow scientific collaborators point out, “confirmed cases” is a nonsense number. Why?

The Borger report identifies what they call “ten fatal problems” in the Drosten paper of last January. Here we take up the most glaring that can easily be grasped by most laypeople.

Drosten & co. gave confusing unspecified primer and probe sequences. The critics note, “This high number of variants not only is unusual, but it also is highly confusing for laboratories. These six unspecified positions could easily result in the design of several different alternative primer sequences which do not relate to SARS-CoV-2… the confusing unspecific description in the Corman-Drosten paper is not suitable as a Standard Operational Protocol. These unspecified positions should have been designed unequivocally.” They add that “RT-PCR is not recommended for primary diagnostics of infection. This is why the RT-PCR Test used in clinical routine for detection of COVID-19 is not indicated for COVID-19 diagnosis on a regulatory basis."

Amplification Cycles

But even more damning for Drosten is the fact that he mentioned nowhere of a test being positive or negative, or indeed what defines a positive or negative result! The Borger report notes, “These types of virological diagnostic tests must be based on a SOP (Standard Operational Protocol), including a validated and fixed number of PCR cycles (Ct value) after which a sample is deemed positive or negative. The maximum reasonably reliable Ct value is 30 cycles. Above a Ct of 35 cycles, rapidly increasing numbers of false positives must be expected… scientific studies show that only non-infectious (dead) viruses are detected with Ct values of 35.” (emphasis added).

The WHO and Drosten recommend a Ct of 45 cycles and, reportedly, presently the German health officials do as well. Little wonder that as the number of tests is ramped up in the onset of winter flu season, PCR “positives” in Germany and elsewhere explode. As the critical authors point out, were the health authorities to specify 35 cycles maximum, the number of corona positive would be only less than 3% the present number! They note, “an analytical result with a Ct value of 45 is scientifically and diagnostically absolutely meaningless (a reasonable Ct-value should not exceed 30). All this should be communicated very clearly. It is a significant mistake that the Corman-Drosten paper does not mention the maximum Ct value at which a sample can be unambiguously considered as a positive or a negative test-result. This important cycle threshold limit is also not specified in any follow-up submissions to date.” The authors add, “The fact that these PCR products have not been validated at molecular level is another striking error of the protocol, making any test based upon it useless as a specific diagnostic tool to identify the SARS-CoV-2 virus.” (emphasis added).

In simple English, the entire edifice of the Gates foundation, the Merkel government, the WHO and WEF as well as the case for de facto forced untested vaccines, rests on results of a PCR test for coronavirus that is not worth a hill of beans. The test of Drosten and WHO is more or less, scientific crap.

Afterword

WILLIAM ENGDAHL'S ARTICLE is a bit rough around the edges, and little is said here for the first time. But the information on the timing of the Drosten paper recommending the RT-PCR test is new (to me, anyway) and adds a good deal of circumstantial evidence to the overall conclusion of the deliberate contrivance of the C19 hoax. Plus, of course, the news of the recent pushback against the PCR test element of the fraud is very welcome.

Engdahl's report, and all of which it speaks, should be taken in as yet more weight on the scales showing that every single bit of received "wisdom" and all the policy progeny of the "C19-is-a-dire-"game-changing"-threat" narrative MUST BE JETTISONED. The entire perspective on C19 must be recreated anew from the long-overlooked (or buried) but thoroughly-established fact that in the US and the UK (and by extension, everywhere else) nearly no one has actually been killed by this virus.

See the facts and documentation laid out in depth here, if any of this is new to you. Read all of it, thoroughly.

Suppress both the confirmation-bias reflex to avert one's eyes from what contradicts what one has believed to be true, and the equally-harmful tendency to stop reading when one sees something that suggests one is reviewing previously-traveled territory. This piece is a connect-the-dots presentation, and includes dots you won't know exist until you read it all (and the linked exhibits) carefully.

Then spread it around as promiscuously as the Covid Kool-Aid drinkers believe you are spreading the dread disease when you walk around without a mask.

In your efforts to induce others to do the reading, focus on the fact that there have never actually been any excess deaths above annual norms throughout the entire time we have supposedly been being ravaged by a new grim reaper with hundreds of thousands of deaths in its wake. Nothing will more clearly emphasize the delusional nature of the entire false narrative of "plague" and the need for a "new normal" than that simple fact.

AT THE SAME TIME, 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...

Kennedy by car-bomb four days earlier, which was aborted at the last minute due to the unexpected presence of Jacqueline Kennedy.  In 2011, the bulk of US regular military forces withdraw from a devastated Iraq after 9 years of invasion and occupation.

Illuminating Anniversaries of this week:

December 17- In 1862, Major-General Ulysses S. Grant issues an order expelling all Jews from Tennessee, Mississippi and Kentucky for alleged participation in a black market of Southern cotton being sold to Northern mills.  Public outcry forces the rescinding of the order a few weeks later-- Grant sheepishly claims that a subordinate had written the order, and he had signed it without reading it.  In 1903, the Wright brothers make it happen at Kitty Hawk.  In 1957, the United States successfully launches the first Atlas ICBM.  In 1969, the first Strategic Arms Limitation Talks begin between the United States and the Soviet Union over controlling the proliferation of  ICBMs.  In 2007, the Republic of Lakotah, comprising territory from North and South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming and Nebraska, declares its independence from the United States. In 2010, Mohammed Bouazizi sets himself on fire in protest at the US-supported despotic regime of Zine El Abadine Ben Ali, sparking a revolution which ousted the Ben Ali and his government 29 days later.  In 2014, the United States, having acknowledged that its 55-years of sanctions against Cuba were an abject failure at their ostensible goal of prompting regime change by revolution, re-establishes normal relations.

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.
