Illuminating anniversaries of this week:

April 5- In 1614, Pocahontas marries John Rolfe.  In 1792, the first presidential veto is exercised by George Washington.  In 1930, Gandhi marches to the sea.  In 1933, Franklin Roosevelt signs an executive order purporting to ban the "hoarding of gold" by U.S. citizens, and requiring the surrender of nearly all privately-held gold to the United States.  Needless to say, a mere executive order lacks the actual force of law of a general nature, and this remains true even despite Congressional pretensions of having delegated the authority to the Executive under actual legislation, such as the 'Trading with the Enemy Act'.  Nonetheless, most Americans divested themselves of their gold under the threat of imprisonment accompanying the pretense.  Only one prosecution was ever attempted under the order, and it was subsequently ruled invalid by the federal district judge overseeing the case.  In 1951, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg are sentenced to death after being convicted of espionage for giving nuclear secrets to the Soviet Union.  In 1955, Winston Churchill resigns as Prime Minister of Great Britain.

Why Gretchen Whitmer Sent Sick People Into Nursing Homes Last Spring

No, it was NOT just an act of stupidity or panic...

 

“In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.”

-Franklin Delano Roosevelt

ON APRIL 15, 2020, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer issued "Executive Order 2020-50", under the terms of which people infected with respiratory illnesses declared to be 'COVID-19' (C19) were transferred from hospitals into nursing homes across the state. Those nursing homes, of course, were filled with residents especially vulnerable to fatal outcomes from exposure to such dangers due to age and co-morbidities typical to the elderly.

The transfers were engineered despite the fact that normal overall hospital capacity was never "overwhelmed" by C19 cases. What's more, dedicated field hospital facilities had been built (at enormous expense) to provide enormous additional capacity where the infected seniors could be cared for properly while being prudently isolated.

Those field hospitals were essentially ignored. They never saw more than a couple of dozen beds occupied, and even that little use was just for show, and not because the pre-existing hospital inventory was overtaxed. But they were there and available.

No credible reason of need existed for the transfer of the infected people into nursing homes like an army of Typhoid Marys. Nonetheless, that's what happened.

As was entirely predictable, large numbers of affected nursing home residents proceeded to die of respiratory illnesses-- every one of which was reported as being a C19 fatality. As of mid-June, 2020, the reported deaths in nursing homes comprised at least 34% of the total deaths ascribed to C19 in Michigan.

In fact, that percentage may be even higher. Serious questions remain as to the possible low-balling of that nursing home fatality figure due to quirky rules about how designated nursing home residents outside of the facilities for some reason after becoming infected (such as hospitalization) are accounted for by the state, and because of Whitmer's unexplained intransigence on the release of data.

SO WHY DID WHITMER ISSUE (and renew in mid-May) an order which caused pre-mature deaths to so many Michigan citizens? Well, in light of Whitmer's steady refusal to talk about the matter, scorn of all related FOIA requests from any quarter, being shielded from investigation by her partisan comrade Attorney General Dana Nessel, and her having paid hush-money to her former Director of Public Health upon his departure from office not long ago, I can't answer that question definitively.

But I can throw out some facts and do some spitballing...

LET'S START WITH some context.

As far back as mid-autumn of 2019, around the time C19 first began spreading throughout the world, efforts began which seem meant to prepare the ground for massive, unverified mail-in ballots in Michigan's 2020 election. See this and this.

Tellingly, these efforts in Michigan were part of a nation-wide project to optimize a seemingly anticipated extraordinary volume of mail-in ballot predicated on the C19 pretext-- which, at that time was waiting out of sight. Especially telling, the efforts were targeted specifically at "battleground" states, indicating that they were not a general expression of political principle but in service to a specific plan of action.

By late December of 2019, the hysterical drumbeat over the virus had begun. This panic-mongering went on with increasing intensity (continuing to this day). The character and specifics of the unwinding narrative suggests the purposeful creation of an atmosphere in which widespread fear of voting in person and massive mail-in voting was inevitable.

But there was a problem. Even though C19 had reached vast numbers of Americans (and everyone else), pretty nearly nobody was dying, making the media-generated panic wide but very shallow.

The fact is, by mid-March, after what the public was endlessly told was an extraordinarily-contagious virus had been spreading throughout the country for fully three and a half months, tracking the same spread of the annual flu (which originated in the same general area, shared vectors with C19 in every particular, and had infected 38,000,000 to 54,000,000 Americans by March 14 and had killed tens of thousands), C19 was proving to be a dud. Even after the CDC's March 4 instruction to the medical profession to promiscuously declare as C19 deaths what were actually not known to be from the virus, only 97 Americans had been reported as dead from C19 (see the column on the left, in bold, which begins with the first such American death ever):

Not exactly a "run for the exits" horror fest... and so, not nearly good enough for some purposes.

On March 24, the CDC re-issued its "call 'em all C19 deaths" instruction, in even stronger terms. The number of alleged C19 fatalities began to rise a bit.

But the clock was running on the "two weeks to flatten the curve", and people were talking about the harms to be expected from shutting down the economy for even that brief period. More was needed.

On April 6, 2020 the New York Times argued that American governments must, "learn how to frighten [people] into acting for the common good." (The rag wisely refrained from overtly saying anything about the virtues of a "new Pearl Harbor", doubtless realizing how awkward that could be, but that's clearly where it was going...)

As if to illustrate the "problem" bothering the Times (and its fellow travelers), on April 15, 2020, thousands and thousands of irate Michiganders (including Doreen and me) shut down Lansing in 'Operation Gridlock':

The marks were getting uncooperative and positively unruly.

Even three weeks after the CDC double-down on its sloppy-reporting instruction and Andrew Cuomo's own, first-in-the-tainted-waters nursing-home-infection order on March 25 had caused a rapid increase in the number of ascribed C19 deaths, Michiganders hadn't yet been terrorized into mindless capitulation to the plague narrative and gubernatorial diktats. Quite the contrary, in fact. If an agenda was in play requiring the fright recommended by the New York Times, more was apparently had to be done.

IT WAS AT THIS POINT, April 15, 2020, the day of Operation Gridlock, that Gretchen Whitmer slides out EO 2020-50 directing the insertion of people infected with C19 (or some kind of respiratory disease, anyway) into Michigan's highly-vulnerable nursing home populations. The effect was a decided shot in the arm for Michigan's C19-ascribed death-rate, and for acceptance of the governor's continuing flurry of what Michigan's Supreme Court later found to be entirely illegal executive orders (and which remain illegal under the same ruling even though now issued by Michigan's Public Health Director).

And no surprise... When you very much want the appearance of big numbers of fatalities due to C19, what better way than to send people supposedly sick from the virus into places where people are going to die in large numbers from anything to which they are exposed, or just of old age and/or pre-existing conditions, to which you can then ascribe C19 as the cause?

Plus, it's possible to argue (however disturbing and unforgivable it would be)-- either to oneself or to others who had to be placated or brought along-- that it's all for the greater good; people had to be made very much afraid for their own good, so they would fall in line with the believed-necessary mitigations. And besides, these folks were going to go soon from one thing or another anyway, right?

ANOTHER UNSURPRISING EFFECT of EO 2020-50 and its consequences-- in harmony with the continued relentless panic-mongering by the media and many officials in the federal and state government-- was a massive embrace of, and seeming justification for-- mail-in voting in Michigan. This absentee-ballot event-- remember, the one seemingly anticipated by the Democrat lawsuits in 2019-- was marked by a series of bizarre tally-activities and -abnormalities.

The abnormalities started with the shutdown of vote-counting election night while Donald Trump appeared comfortably in the lead. This was followed by odd events in the wee hours of the next morning after which Joe Biden was declared to have unexpectedly won the state after all. (See the related article below on this page.)

The oddities in Michigan played out in much the same fashion-- indeed, in exactly the same fashion-- as those in other battleground states.

NOW, I WANT TO REITERATE that I'm just spitballin' here-- that is, speculating. I'm not formally accusing anyone of anything, nor pretending to know what really happened, or what was in anyone's mind.

I leave it to each reader to decide what picture has formed when the dots are all connected. But I urge everyone to have the courage and the maturity to really look at that picture, keeping in mind Edmund Burke's wisdom:

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

-Edmund Burke

...and the cynical but knowing observation by FDR with which this article begins.

What's been going on in America over the last 18 months is HARDBALL. It's past time for people to awaken to that fact. Here's some more wisdom with which to punctuate all the foregoing:

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

-Edward R. Murrow

"Universal Mail-In Ballots" Are The Perfect Set-Up For Election Fraud

Those who pooh-pooh such concerns thereby mark themselves as guilty.

ELECTION FRAUD under conditions of "universal mail-in ballots" is the simplest thing. Here's how it can be done:

A given election district (precinct, city, county, etc.) has x voters on the rolls. X-- especially in urban districts-- is heavily-padded with the unpurged dead and otherwise departed, and with folks who have registered but never bother to vote. The names of everyone in x are in a computer database.

By the end of election day, a portion of x who we'll call y1 have requested and been sent absentee ballots (and probably have mailed them in)-- but in theory, everyone has been sent a ballot for mail-in voting, whether requested or not. Another portion of x (we'll call them y2) have cast ballots at the polls.

The names of everyone in both y1 and y2 are in a computer database by the end of election day.

NOW, WITHIN A FEW BUSY HOURS after the polls have closed and the number of extra votes needed has become apparent-- say, by 3:00AM to 4:30AM the next day-- y1 can be added to y2 and the total subtracted from x, yielding z-- the number of fraudulent ballots that can be tossed into the pot, all marked for the fraudster's candidate, without exceeding the theoretical (or plausible) maximum for the district.

Every one of these fraudulent ballots can even be associated with the name of someone on the voting rolls who did not cast a conflicting ballot, with this being especially easy if the signed envelopes in which these ballots are supposed to have been mailed to the district clerk are trashed. And all this can be done by a very small number of conspirators in the right places.

The tell-tale sign would be a spike in vote totals for the fraudsters' favored candidate(s) in those early hours of the day after, like this, for instance:

 

Unfortunately for the cause of election integrity, without opposition-verified signed envelopes for every absentee ballot said to have been received, it's hard to prove the fraud. This is especially true if the media refuses to acknowledge even the possibility of election fraud, and the official oversight responsibility is in the hands of partisans favoring the benefitting candidate, whether or not those officials are conspirators themselves.

Indeed, this is why the outcome of any election in which voter identification is not reliable is considered inherently untrustworthy.

Bottom line: mail-in ballots are risky to election integrity; massive mail-in ballots are virtually certain to yield untrustworthy results; and combined with lax voter ID requirements, massive mail-in ballots are inherently unreliable and prone, if not intended, to facilitate fraud-- easy peasy, and seriously sleazy.

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

Recent badly-educated generations of Americans probably don't realize that "capitalism" is NOT an economic "system". Rather, it's just a label dreamed up after the fact for the interactions and evolved institutional formalities arrived at by the spontaneous interactions of people operating as economic agents in a free market, while equipped with property rights. Nobody planned or imposed "capitalism".

But the folks behind "the Great Reset" have plans for everyone. They mean to impose "capitalism reimagined", which means, NOT what arises when people are free, but what takes place when people are NOT free-- that is, when YOU are not free, but are, instead, a slave to those behind "the Great Reset" and their agenda.

These "Great Reset", "Build Back Better", "New Normal" people are the enemies of freedom-- YOUR enemies. They are in the process of conquering and enslaving you and your children, and most Americans don't even know what's going on, due to having been kept ignorant of economics, history and civics by the early saboteurs of the assault, who occupied the American education system to prepare the ground.

They should be responded to accordingly.

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.

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 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...

Cancel Public School

If we took the future of the nation seriously, we would end public schools tomorrow.

by Dan Gelernter

A friend who volunteers at a Sunday school in Harlem for low-income children called me the other day, greatly upset: She had been working with a pair of students who failed to learn the assigned reading, which was a short psalm or a prayer. She thought perhaps the fourth graders, a boy and a girl, weren’t applying themselves. The truth was much worse: The two children turned out to be illiterate.

Their public school teachers had passed them, grade by grade, into the fourth, and no one had ever taught them how to sound out words. Their teachers graded spelling tests and assignments—they knew they were passing kids who couldn’t read.

The two fourth graders didn’t understand words like “will” or “firm.” They couldn’t read them, and they didn’t know what they meant. Yet these children were intelligent. They were eager—touchingly, pathetically eager. And by the end of the hour with my friend they had made tangible progress. But what is one hour, compared with 35 hours every week in public school?

The New York City public school system spends $28,800 per student per year—more than anywhere else in the world. A brand-new public school teacher with a master’s degree and zero prior experience starts at $65,000 a year, plus benefits. And the children can’t read.

It’s little wonder that children become disaffected, bellicose—what we popularly call “troubled.” Little wonder that they turn to drugs and gangs and crime. When material isn’t taught well, and when the children can’t understand, they often blame themselves. They feel stupid, then resentful. Before long they’ve decided that education isn’t for them, and soon they’ll be lost forever—their potential to live happy, decent, productive, and socially healthy lives is destroyed. Their teachers and the school system are the destroyers.

The same friend of mine told me one day how another of her Harlem kids, a seven-year-old girl, had come to her in tears: The girl’s school teacher had asked everyone in class to say what they wanted to be when they grew up. The girl had said she wanted to be a mother. Her (female) teacher said her choice was wrong, apparently making her feel that it was not just incorrect, but morally unacceptable. The teacher actually made the child stand in front of the class as an example of a bad girl. No wonder she was in tears—her childhood dreams were taken away from her, and she was humiliated for having them.

This incident is not simply a questionable decision on the teacher’s part, nor is it a bad yet defensible judgment. It is child abuse. It is criminal behavior. The teacher should be in prison. She definitely shouldn’t be a teacher. And yet, given the lifelong protection she enjoys as a union member in the public school system, she will most likely go on doing her share to ruin the lives of dozens or hundreds or thousands more children—children from poor neighborhoods with no one to protect them. Children who are being sentenced to permanent lower-class status and a life of menial work, to depression and frustration and worse, by the sick, demented, and obscenely expensive criminal enterprise that is the New York City public school system.

New York politicians may be corrupt, and they may be terrible people, but they are smart enough and care enough about their own kids to keep them far, far away from the public schools whose unions they pad with our money. They know perfectly well public expenditure on education has nothing to do with education, and is simply a means of buying power. In a sensible world, they would be on trial for racketeering.

Afterword

DAN GELERNTER says it all, and plain as day: subjecting children to public schooling is both child abuse and national self-harm. That we do this is a disgrace, and because it is the slow-motion murder of the great American experiment in self-rule, it is a sin that carries with it it's own punishment.

As with so many other pathologies of the political realm, observing the ugliness and damage of the entrenched public school regime emphasizes the importance of drastically throttling the energy and influence of the state, as well as its sheer material ability to insert itself into every aspect of American life.

So, I will continue to remind everyone that a key defense for the people against political pathologies 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. Here's another.

Read these through, yourself. Then share them as widely as you can.

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!)

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.
