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

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.
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.
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...
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.
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 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.

the income tax correctly administered. Please, for my sake, for your

Not Letting This "Crisis" Go To Waste...
...an important action item opportunity.
FRIENDS, THE SPORADIC BITS OF EASING of the despotic measures to
which most of the country has been subjected this year should not be
allowed to bleed off the head of steam you probably had been developing.
The offenses happened, and they're far from over. Stay hot.
And while you are all warmed up, and while others, if
they're smart, are just as hot, I'd like you to send an email (and
Facebook post, or whatever) with the following content to everyone you
can (with a request that they pass it along, in turn):
[Name], over the last several months you've
watched as over-fed state power has been used to literally destroy
classical Western civilization and impose a new despotic paradigm. No
dissent or debate permitted-- no permission or agreement sought.
YOU KNOW where this will end up if the arrogant
state power being used to make this happen isn't radically diminished in
size, influence, resources and popular support, and exposed as an
opportunistic exploiter of legal ignorance (an ignorance which it has
been nurturing in the average mind for decades).
Those things having not yet happened, you
should be quaking in your boots-- and you probably are.
Isn't it time-- and past time-- for you to
begin helping to make those desperately-needed defensive changes take
place? There is only one way these things can happen short of a
who-knows-what we'll-end-up-with explosion of violence. I'm going to
show it to you.
When you're done with that reading, you'll know
what to do next.
BTW, REMEMBER, ALSO, THAT EVERY AMERICAN has lately been given a stark lesson in the fact
that government officials at all levels will lie to you and violate the
law without batting an eye. They will do so any time it serves their agenda, and
you don't call them out for it.
If you know anyone who has been persisting in denial on the
truth about the income tax, you know such nonsense is usually be
grounded in some version or another of, "That can't be true..." or "They
would never do something like that...". Now's the time to put a pin in
that delusional bubble.
As the C19 hoax has starkly shown, "that" certainly CAN be true, and they
certainly WOULD do something
like that.
Use this evidence in all your
outreach efforts.
"It is not the function of our Government to keep the
citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to
keep the Government from falling into error."
-United States Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson
(Deceitful efforts to discourage Americans from
learning the truth about the "income tax")
FOR ALL THE YEARS SINCE 2003 when
CtC was first published, the government has engaged in a
concerted effort to frighten people away from its truths. This
effort involves official government websites and press releases
touting an occasional court ruling that appears to be at odds
with some
CtC-revelation (but without details sufficient to expose the
real substance of the ruling)--
and sometimes even more mendacious behavior.
Are the presentations and
resources offered on this site and in my other work of any value to you?
Tim Kendrick has posted
a video
on YouTube regarding donations. I didn't know what to do about
it to begin with; I don't do what I do intending for anyone to
feel obligated in any way.
But of course, no one IS obligated. I will continue
to make my work freely-available here, and in my books for only
the cost of a cheap paperback.
Thus, even though I post it here below, Tim's very
thoughtful personal resolution and encouragement to others is
just an invitation for consideration by those who may not be
conscious of the fact that I can't do what I do without support.
No one is to feel any pressure from it; if it moves anyone to
act let it be solely because it seems right.
All-in-all, just be the sort of person for others
that you would go to yourself for trustworthy leadership.
Leadership is a challenge. But it's not
complicated, and you can do it.

Are You Having Trouble Spreading The
Word?
SKEPTICISM (SOMETIMES INVOKED BY FEAR) IS TO BE
EXPECTED when you're trying to explain to someone that
everything they've been encouraged their whole lives to
believe about something as entrenched and significant as the
income tax is basically nonsense. So here's a way to help
cut through the resistance:
Ask your listener how he or she would react if
you were to show an announcement from the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue admitting that the tax doesn't apply to the
earnings of most Americans and is misapplied most of the
time because people don't understand how it works? Or how
about if you showed a ruling from the Supreme Court saying
the same?
Now you just have to explain that
you're going to show exactly those things-- but because
the state really doesn't want people to know this, these
things haven't been said quite as forthrightly as we would
all wish. It's going to take a bit more work to take these
admissions in than is sufficient for just reading a press
release. But it'll be worth the effort...
IF YOU'RE NOT SPREADING THIS LINK with every bit of
energy you can, to school libraries, homeschool
families and community groups, your neighbors, your
family members, your pastors and
co-congregationalists, journalists, lawyers, CPAs,
members of congress, tax-agency workers, Wikipedia,
Anonymous, WikiLeaks, the Tax Foundation, everyone
in the "tax honesty" movement, the 9/11 truth
movement, other activist movements and everyone
else,
you have only yourself to blame for your
troubles with the tax, and a whole lot else of which
you might complain. It's on you.
WRITE A NICE, FRIENDLY AND BRIEF introductory note
explaining what will be seen at the link-- cryptic
is bad; excited is good-- and then send this WMI

Remember: Real Americans don't accommodate fog, lies and a sliding scale of
adherence to the rule of law. Real American men and women stand up for the
truth and the law, come what may, knowing that it is only by setting the bar
at the top and enforcing it, come what may, that liberties are secured.

"In a time of

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.
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.
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..."

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)

illegal search and seizure, resulting in a six-year sentence.

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...

church had said he was wrong.

Last Word
"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude
greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We
seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that
feeds you. May your chains set lightly upon you; and may posterity forget
that ye were our countrymen."

Adams, Architect of the first American Revolution

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.
