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

Illuminating anniversaries of this week:

March 1- In 1781, the Continental Congress adopts the Articles of Confederation.  This day in 1803 is designated as that of Ohio's admission to the union as the 17th of the several states, but the actual congressional action on the admission didn't take place until August 7, 1953.  In 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte returns to France after escaping his imprisonment on Elba.  In 1867, Nebraska is admitted to the union as the 37th of the several states (36th, really-- see the Ohio entry above).  In 1872, Yellowstone becomes the first United States park.  In 1912, Albert Berry makes the first parachute jump from an aircraft in flight.  In 1932, the son of aviator Charles Lindbergh is kidnapped.  In 1941, the first FM radio station in America begins broadcasting (WSM-FM in Nashville, Tennessee).  In 1954, Puerto Rican nationalists open fire on United States representatives from the visitor's gallery during a session of Congress, wounding five.  In 1966, the Soviet Venera 3 space craft becomes the first to land (by crashing) on the surface of another planet.  In 1971, the Weather Underground sets off a bomb in a men's room in the U.S. Capitol building.  In 1974, seven suspects are charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice in connection with the Watergate break-in.  In 2014, eight assailants armed with knives massacred 29 people and left another 140 wounded in an attack in the Chinese city of Kumming.  Predictable calls for strengthened "knife control" laws echoed throughout statist lairs across America.

 

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

HEY, People! Please don't just read what I post here (or anywhere), and nod your head sagely or approvingly and then move on to other things. I don't post in order to affirm your sense of things. I post in order to equip you with perspectives and arguments with which to educate others, and in the expectation that you will forward my posts to other people (or direct them to those posts). PLEASE do those things.

We won't win by YOU knowing what I present. We will win by LOTS OF OTHERS knowing what I present.

CtC-Educated Americans Continue To Uphold The Rule Of Law!

...and continue to shrink the ever-more rogue, ever-more dangerous Leviathan state.

AS ALL OF YOU WILL BE VERY CONSCIOUS, for the last year I have been focused almost exclusively on the raging fires of the C19 pretense, including (among others):

  • the absurd contrivances meant to give this relatively insignificant virus the appearance of a dire threat before which all else must give way;

  • the absurd and universally illegal "remediation" edicts by which Kool-Aid-drinking Americans are made perpetually off-balance, distracted and blind to the totalitarianism to which they are being acclimated;

  • the crass and possibly sinister exploitation of an engineered demand for "vaccines" against the ridiculously overblown problem;

  • the recent election fraud for the accomplishment of which the C19 pretenses were leveraged and by which a buffoonish and deeply-flawed president who is nonetheless un-co-opted into this particular hobgoblin was replaced with one entirely co-opted into these pretenses and the agendas they serve; and

  • the extremely sinister aggregation of most wide-reach media into monolithic agency on behalf of the narratives supporting all of the above and active suppression of competing or contradictory views, no matter how well-grounded.

These intense barrages of propaganda and corruption have opened hemorrhages by which America is being bled-out before our eyes.

The stakes in our management of these assaults are as high as they can be. Allowed to continue, the proposition that "official" declaration of a public health crisis can legitimize any one or all of the already-issued infringements or diktats regarding travel, commerce, assembly, equipage, bodily integrity, dissent, or any looming in the future will mean the utter ruin of the great American experiment in recognizing individual sovereignty as the only proper political principle upon which legitimate government can be organized.

HOWEVER, AS MUCH AS THE AFOREMENTIONED ASSAULTS remain the most immediate concern upon which American attention should be focused, it's also "tax time". That coincidence brings into better view one of the key opportunities ready at hand for all Americans wanting to stand up on behalf of the rule of law and, at a minimum, stop paying for the assaults to which they and their way of life are being subjected.

I speak, of course, of every Americans' opportunity to properly invoke the law regarding the income tax and retain all of their earnings or recover money taken from them under the fictional (and frankly, ridiculous) notion that their grandparents inexplicably sold themselves and their descendants into tax serfdom in 1913.

As used to be my frequent practice until more pressing matters pushed it aside, today we're going to celebrate another batch of good American men and women doing exactly that important work, and enjoy the evidence of their accomplishments.

LET'S START WITH Ryan MacCubbin. Over the last few months Ryan has added to his previous victories with another three complete refunds of everything taken from his earnings and given over to New Mexico under his workplace's mistaken notion that Ryan's activities were taxable. Here are Ryan's latest victories in standing up for the rule of law, in the order secured:

2018

Here is the filing that secured this complete refund last August.

2019

Here is the filing that secured this complete refund last September, after a little balkiness by New Mexico, answered with this statement by Ryan.

2017

Here is the filing that secured this complete refund two weeks ago, after a little balkiness by New Mexico, answered with this statement by Ryan.

WELL DONE, RYAN!!

***

Kevin Dacey has also been standing up for the law, and shares his victory securing a complete refund of everything taken from him and given over to Uncle Sam during 2019-- Social security, Medicare and all--, plus interest:

Here is the filing by which Kevin secured this refund.

WELL DONE, KEVIN!!

*** 

David Spiller has also secured a complete refund from Uncle Sam of everything taken in 2019, FICA and all, plus interest:

Here is David's filing.

OUTSTANDING, DAVID!

***

WE'RE GOING TO FINISH today's accolades with two rather unusual CtC-educated victories for the rule of law. First there is the victory five weeks or so ago by Andrew MacTaggart over Pennsylvania's claim that Andrew owed taxes on his 2019 earnings.

The story begins with Andrew's 2019 Pennsylvania filing, which can be seen here. You will note that Andrew had had nothing withheld and given to the state, and so claimed no refund, but did rebut claims by those for whom he worked in 2019 that he had been paid $77K+ in tax-relevant "wages" and self-assessed accordingly: $0. You will also note that unlike the typical educated filing Andrew precedes his return with a very explicit statement, and even had his express rebuttal of the erroneous characterization of his earnings sworn and notarized.

These unusual (and, truth be told, unnecessary) steps are reflective of the fact that in past years, Andrew had been met with seriously balky and games-playing bureaucrats at the Pennsylvania Dept. of Revenue. Forewarned is forearmed.

Indeed, as expected, after a long delay under the pretense of the "C19 crisis", the PADOR responded to Andrew's filing with a "Personal Income Tax Billing Notice" asserting a tax due (with penalty) of $2,604.31:

Andrew was ready with what can only be described as a "leave no stone unturned" Biblical-grade riot-act recital. This recital (for which note #5 in the 'FOR ALL FILERS' Note & Tips checklist should be borne in mind) was intended to make unmistakable to the doubtless shocked bureaucrat receiving it that Andrew was gimlet-eyed and utterly empty of all patience with agency nonsense. (One thing that had characterized the dodges to which the agency had resorted before was a studied difficulty in understanding Andrew's statements, leading to a suspicion that the only way to ensure that no cracks existed through which the agency might feel it could slip was to say everything.)

Silence reigned for a while after Ander's October 30, 2020 response to the PADOR's first shot at browbeating him into throwing up his hands with its unsupported and presumptive assertions. Then on December 29, 2020, the agency took a second shot, upping the ante with the claim this time of an actual "assessment" (and a slight uptick in the "penalty" amount):

 Again, Andrew took out the megaphone and called down fire from the Heavens. This time the message got through. Less than two weeks after Andrew mailed his second response to the PADOR's second venture into intimidation, Pennsylvania surrendered:

Andrew now has his first completed Pennsylvania victory to accompany his several federal victories. WELL DONE, ANDREW!!

***

FINALLY, THERE IS THE victory-in-progress of David and Valerie Denning. David and Valerie have many victories posted on these pages, none of which have been problems for these good folks. This time, though, the folks processing their federal return for 2019 decided to play games.

Here's David and Valerie's filing-- a typical CtC-educated affair, showing no "income" received, no tax due, accordingly-- and a total of $14,455.00 withheld in error and hereby reclaimed. Here is the bizarre and plainly corrupt IRS response David and Valerie received this past December:

A proper admission of no tax owed, so WELL DONE, DAVID & VALERIE! But an outrageous pretense that nothing had been withheld and therefore nothing was due to be refunded to David and Valerie! (See the whole notice here.)

Where do they get these people? Under rocks?

David and Valerie promptly shot out a pointed response. It is to be expected that their property will be returned without too much further delay, and with appropriate interest, but I think it will be a long time before their view of federal bureaucracies improves.

***

ALL-IN-ALL, HATS VERY MUCH OFF to Ryan, Kevin, David, Andrew and David & Valerie! These great victories join those of the tens of thousands of other awakened and activated Americans represented here. Each constitutes another critical step toward the restoration of the Founders republic and the true rule of law.

Don't you wish your victories were proudly posted, too?

It's easy. Stand up on behalf of the law, and then share the evidence.

That's all there is to it!

BTW, DON'T YOU WISH YOUR INSPIRING BEING-THE-STORM VIDEO was posted, too, like David and Valerie's? This is easy to do, and very important (plus it can get you some great LHC swag!). See (and carefully read in their entirety) these guidelines and encouragements.

Remember, it's all about upholding the law, and that is YOUR responsibility. Awakening others to this high and honorable duty is the best way to make it happen.

"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

 

"The Tax Code represents the genius of legal fiction... The IRS has never really known why people pay the income tax... The IRS encourages voluntary compliance, through FEAR."

-Jack Warren Wade Jr., former IRS officer in charge of the IRS Nationwide Revenue Officer Training Program, in his book ‘When You Owe The IRS’

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...

Why I Believe That Covid Derangement Syndrome Is Real

by Donald J. Boudreaux

Over the past two weeks I’ve received emails urging me to tamp down my criticism of restrictions imposed in the name of fighting Covid-19. Most of the correspondents are polite, sincere, and even warm. Each, however, is convinced that I underestimate the threat that Covid poses to humanity. Each correspondent hopes that I come to take this threat much more seriously.

What follows here is part of my response to each of these correspondents. This essay isn’t meant to change their minds but, instead, to better explain why I hold the position that I do toward Covid, as well as toward the public’s and governments’ responses to Covid. For the record, I understand that different individuals have different risk preferences. I genuinely respect these differences.

I understand also that different individuals even have different perceptions of reality. As with the understanding of reality achieved by blindfolded persons each touching a different part of the elephant, reality isn’t revealed to everyone in the same way. Yet I’m sufficiently old-fashioned to believe that there is an objective reality, and that it’s the duty of everyone who comments publicly on that reality to do his or her best to understand it as well as possible, despite the inaccessibility of perfect understanding.

I believe also that, while the range of legitimate differences in this understanding is wide, this range isn’t unlimited. Some understandings are so detached from reality as to be illegitimate – as in, not to be taken seriously. It is for each reader to judge for himself or herself if my understanding of reality, as I express it here (and elsewhere), falls within or outside of the legitimate range.

Below is a list of some of the facts, as I understand them, about Covid-19, as well as about the reaction to this disease. Although some of these facts are more firmly established than are others, I believe that each of the facts detailed below is legitimate, and that my interpretations of them are plausible.

Further, I believe that my understanding justifies my relative lack of anxiety about Covid’s likely impact on me personally and about its impact on humanity. And I believe that the facts as I understand them warrant my description of the media’s, the public’s, and governments’ reactions to Covid as being hysterically excessive.

The Overestimated Dangers of Covid and Underestimated Dangers of Lockdowns

Continued...

Click here to read the rest of this article

...and then proceed to the afterword below...

Afterword

THE ONLY FAULT I CAN FIND in Donald Boudreaux's argument is in his considerable overstatement of the threat of C19 as being, for instance, in the neighborhood of 10 times more lethal than the normal seasonal flu. Here are recent CDC's figures for IFRs (by age group), and here are those for the various intensity ranges of seasonal flu.

Otherwise, Boudreaux's observations and complaints are spot on and valuable with only one further caveat. Certainly the C19 panic-buy-in IS a Kool-Aid-drunkard affair. But more importantly, it is an ENGINEERED affair.

The misrepresentations of C19 by the MSM and "official" voices is not carelessness, as Boudreaux generously suggests. It is deliberate, as the overall record, connecting all the dots, makes clear. It needs to be recognized as such, so that the responsible parties can be fingered and denounced, and deprived of all credibility, trust and honor.

This denunciation must extend, by the way, to ALL subjects. Once you have established that a "journalist" or "expert" or politician has lied to you, nothing said by that person-- or the institution on behalf of which he speaks-- should be ever again taken as anything but another piece of dangerous propaganda.

IN ADDITION to the benefit of that "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice..." permanent-suspicion outcome of recognizing Covid Derangement Syndrome (CDS) and its true nature, there is another benefit. Becoming aware that the "official" and "mainstream" voices have been lying can also equip us with the simple bit of important wisdom that independent experts are ALWAYS more trustworthy than "experts" whose agendas are in line to be funded or whose pockets are in line to be filled by the widespread adoption of the notions they are pushing.

Boudreaux's touch on the subject of The Great Barrington Declaration gets toward this point (see the declaration and some comments here). The huge number of experts who are signatories to the Declaration are not going to be funded on the basis of their statements, nor will they acquire power over you, while those whose assertions they contradict expect both of these gains if their narratives are accepted. Which of the two groups are more credible as speakers of the truth is obvious, and offers a lesson ("Cui bono?") that should never be forgotten or overlooked.

SO, HERE'S THE OTHER THING... In addition to recognizing the reality of CDS and its implications, I will continue to remind everyone that a key defense for the people against despotism under any pretext or by any mechanism 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. They knew that if you can control the amount of damage that can be done by bad actors, society can survive the inevitable presence within its ranks of naïfs and fools.

Here is an introductory 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..."

Lawyers: It's Way Past Time For You All To Queue Up!

[Y]ou really need to familiarize yourself with Pete Hendrickson's absolutely magnificent work at his website and in his book(s). He has, brilliantly and lucidly, "cracked the code" regarding the federal income EXCISE tax(es)."

-Mark C. Phillips, JD

 

"...I find your work fascinatingly simple to understand."

-Jerry Arnowitz, JD

 

"Your book is a masterpiece!"

-Michael Carver, JD

 

"Received your book yesterday. Started reading at 11 PM, finished at 4 AM." "I have 16 feet (literally 16' 4.5") of documents supporting just about everything in your book." "Your book should be required reading for every lawyer before being admitted to any Bar." "I hope you sell a million of them."

-John O'Neil Green, JD

 

“Thanks again for your efforts, Pete. They mean an awful lot to a lot of people.” “…as an attorney, I am humbled by your knowledge and ability in navigating the law. THANK YOU for your hard work and sacrifice.”

-Eric Smithers, JD

 

"I am an attorney and want to give a testimonial to your book, which I find to be compelling. I am exercising these rights for myself and my adult children. I'm even considering making this my new avenue of law practice."

-Nancy "Ana" Garner, JD

Learn what these colleagues already know, then step forward and become part of a coordinated, mutually-supportive squadron focused on developing strategy and deploying the law in courtrooms across the country. There's a lot of suing that needs doing right now.

Do you know someone truly steeped in the Kool-Aid?

 

I mean someone who finds it easier to believe that the far-better-educated, far-more-suspicious-of-government Americans of a hundred years ago were complete morons who granted authority to the state to take whatever it wished from themselves and their posterity than to imagine that they themselves simply misunderstand the true nature of the income tax? Even while knowing that their beliefs about the tax are derived entirely from the representations of those who profit from those beliefs (like tax bureaucrats and "tax professionals")?

 

Do you know someone like that? Shake them awake with the latest (fifteenth) edition of CtC!

C'mon! CtC can't be right! You're crazy!

If CtC were actually right, it would mean the government's been concealing and denying and suppressing the truth for years on end, and everybody knows THAT would never happen...

About The Author

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

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

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

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

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

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