Are You Counting On The 2022 Elections To Set Things Right? Don't Be Naive.

Those trying to conquer and subdue you are doing everything in their power to make themselves incapable of being dislodged, no matter how large a majority wants to dislodge them.

I HAVE BEEN TROUBLED TO SEE increasingly common expressions by opponents of those currently huddled behind the barbed wire and troops in Washington and many statehouses suggesting a belief that 2022 will see everything mended. This is the notion that the folks who:

• destabilized the whole country with hyperbolic panic-mongering over a virus which is no meaningful threat at all to healthy people below the age of 75;

• unhesitatingly issued-- and have since maintained-- a broad swath of completely illegal edicts resulting in the collapse of much of the American economy;

• encouraged and facilitated widespread, unhindered and unpunished rioting, looting, property destruction, assault and murder by their supporters and allies-- all precisely meeting the statutory definition of domestic terrorism-- throughout last summer (and again, more sporadically, on numerous occasions since);

• lied about Russian "bounty" payments to the Taliban in order to hurt Biden's opponent and to thwart efforts to pull American soldiers out of the 20-year boondoggle in Afghanistan;

• concealed the Hunter Biden laptop revelations of systemic corruption by Biden and members of his family prior to the election;

• leveraged the "COVID-19 pandemic" into a pretext for massive unverified "mail-in balloting"-- after having carefully prepared the ground the year before with a series of enabling lawsuits;

• "found" huge batches of Biden votes at 4:30 AM the morning after the November election in critical swing states;

• have exploited their command of the journalistic mainstream to bury any airing of election fraud evidence;

• systematically deplatform any voices challenging any part of their self-serving narratives-- even political figures representing large numbers of Americans;

• suppress thoroughly-credentialed doctors and other specialists trying to share information on widely-successful treatments and preventative measures against a disease the suppressors pretend to be the Black Plague reborn;

• and who have spent the last four months rushing to seize control of the voting laws in every state, culling non-supporters of their agendas from the military, enacting infringements on their civilian political opponents' Second Amendment-secured ability to resist other unconstitutional assaults on liberty and the rule of law, encouraging an invasion of the country by aliens whom they intend to enfranchise on their behalf, perpetuating a menacing social unrest throughout the country, and are undertaking to pack the Supreme Court (or use the threat of doing so to bend the current majority on the court into acquiescence to the "new normal" agenda)...

...are going to let election day 2022 arrive without having used all the control they currently enjoy to set themselves up another apparent victory at the polls.

Even after having already demonstrated their willingness to do so, and their ability to do so even without having control of the Senate and the Presidency.

Sure they are.

LET ME POINT SOMETHING OUT about the behavior of the Democrats and their allies in the media over the last four months. As noted in my final bullet-point above, everything has been rush-rush. There's only one reason for that kind of franticness, and that is the nervous knowledge that all of the new impositions are being done on stolen time.

That is, when your agenda is actually supported by a majority, there is no need for frantic haste. Things can and will be done at a calmer, more deliberate pace, and with some consideration of the sensibilities-- even if not the wishes-- of the minority.

Haste is only needed when imposing an agenda which is NOT supported by a majority of the American people. Now, think about the implications of this point and the behavior we have been witnessing by the Biden administration.

These folks-- Biden and those behind him-- engineered their acquisition of power, and did so by the commission of many crimes. They are not going to take the slightest chance on their enemies gaining control of the apparatus of the state and undoing their enactments and possibly punishing them for their offenses, as well.

These are desperate and completely unscrupulous people with an awful lot on the line, and with a taste of what shamelessness can do for them rolling around in their mouths. They will do all they can to secure their gains, by any means necessary.

THINK ABOUT ALL OF THIS, and then make it your business to disabuse anyone clinging to pipe dreams about "off-year Republican control of the House" and the like. Just as the "Q-Anon" fraud kept many Americans on their sofas waiting for a mythical someone else to leap out of the bushes with the fix for all the badness, the delusion about 2022 will keep a lot of good folks sitting around doing nothing, or uselessly focused on party political activity.

This is not the time for complacency and confidence in your chances "next time". There isn't going to be a "next time".

Waiting for "next time" is Gulliver laying down for a nap only to awaken helplessly lashed to the ground by a thousand cords slipped upon him by thousands of tiny assailants, all of whom he could have swept away with one blow had he been alert to the need.

Waiting for "next time" is the foolishness against which Patrick Henry warns in his justly-famous "Liberty or Death" speech:

They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot?

Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us.

Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave.

Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable--and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come.

It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace-- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!

Let us not be guilty of such foolishness (and in that same vein, don't miss the 'Anniversaries' for this date, the first of which is particularly instructive and inspiring).

FIGHTING THIS BATTLE BEGINS with measuring and marshaling our strength, and this, I think, is best done by eschewing the silence desperately wanted by the bad guys and disturbingly embraced by brow-beaten folks who should know better. For instance, have you noticed how the obvious election fraud of last November has been glared and shushed out of the public dialogue?

This should not be the case. The fraud should be a constant buzz in the public square, with the evidence being steadily accumulated, assembled and polished This crime should be a relentlessly-bleeding wound by which its perpetrators are forced into paralysis or the ruinous overplay of their hand.

LIKEWISE, THE FALSE C19 narrative is being allowed to persist-- in Democrat-controlled states, especially-- by mere politeness and timidity. It should not be.

Opposition politicians and officials who recognize the C19 narrative as a weapon being used to subvert the rule of law are each able to command some kind of public attention. Why are these people not holding town hall meetings urging their constituents to stop maintaining a nurturing environment for their enemies by wearing masks and all the rest, at the mindless and self-destructive expense of their immune system health (and, especially, the physical and mental health of their children)?

Further, these people should be calling with one voice for business-owners to defy all forms of "lockdown" edicts, whether partial or otherwise-- every one of which is both destructive and flatly illegal-- and to fully and unqualifiedly open their businesses, right now!

This is not a partisan issue by its nature-- it is just those in favor of liberty and the rule of law versus tyranny. But in fact, there is a divide on this subject on party lines, so why haven't Republican party organizations in each edict-ridden state arranged for the formation and funding of legal teams to defend any and every such business-owner from threatened fines and other sanctions for exercising their rights? They ought to do so, right now!

HERE'S SOMETHING ELSE: Governors in border states should be sending troops to the border-- nominally in defense of property rights against trespass, if nothing else-- while heading loudly to courts with complaints of a federal government not only not defending the country from invasion but actively encouraging the invasion.

The complaints might be turned away with a judicial dodge about such things being "political matters", but no matter. Making the effort-- and persisting at it-- keeps the pot importantly boiling.

THESE ARE JUST A FEW of the fields of battle from which too many of the good guys are absent. But they illustrate the point that much can, and needs to be, done right now. At the same time, each of these examples should underscore the fact that waiting for "next time" is to wait while your enemies bind you hand and foot so that there will be no "next time".

Right now, America's Gulliver is already sleeping. But it's not too late to wake up and save ourselves-- if we do it right now.

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

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

Are You Ready To Die For The Neo-Nazis In Kiev?

Don't you think you should be asked before your money is used to bring that about?

NOTHING LEFT OF MANY OF US but our shadows burned into the rubble... Personally, I think the virtues of aggression by the coup-installed regime in power in Ukraine against the overwhelming-majority ethnic Russian population of Crimea-- which voted to rejoin Russia in 2014-- is not worth that candle. What about you?

For no reason other than to mindlessly persist in a long-since plainly futile pipe-dream of world hegemony, neo-con nutcases infesting Washington (with the support of blindly-money-hungry arms makers) have been pushing for years toward war with Russia. Since 2014, the lunatic ambitions and delusions of the neo-Nazis put into power in Ukraine by the Obama administration in February of that year have been the point of the spear in this belligerence.

Recently, the Biden administration has taken the extremely dangerous step of encouraging the Kiev regime to go to war with Russia over Crimea, even going so far as to issue a guarantee of United States support. Unless the nut-cases back down, or are denied the ability to persist, this will not end well.

The Russian claim to Crimea is as sound as such a thing can be, both from historical fact and the plainly-declared preferences of Crimea's inhabitants. Further, Russia's interest there is viewed quite reasonably as one of existential national security. Russia will not back down in this matter.

GIVEN THESE FACTS, any move by Kiev to act as encouraged by the Biden people will result in war, and by virtue of the guarantee so promiscuously given, this means war between Russia and the United States. Kiev and the US cannot win by conventional means-- Russia will conquer Ukraine in a week's time, if that, and if faced with stiff resistance by virtue of US-supplied weapons, may well just reduce western Ukraine to a smoking ruin in the process.

What then will the US do? More importantly, what then will Russia imagine the US will do, and how will it feel compelled to act pre-emptively? Without presuming to answer those questions, it is easy to predict that two extremely-heavily-nuclear-armed states will go on high, hair-trigger alert, and with the US already having military forces within just a stones-throw of major Russian cities, that hair-trigger will really have zero reflection time available on the Russian side, at least.

And really, the same is true for the US side, despite the geographical difference, since Russia's latest hypersonic missiles can deliver total destruction to the continental USA in an astonishingly short time even if launched from the Russian interior, much less from submarines.

IN MY VIEW, NONE OF THIS is a good thing. In my view, the American people have a definite interest in thwarting the administration in any further steps of this suicidal insanity. But what to do?

The American political system is broken. Does anyone actually believe that contacting his or her members of Congress on a matter like this will result in the abandonment of the policy? Those making decisions in Washington don't give a damn about what average Americans think or want unless those things align with their own agendas or those of their party and its owners.

This cold reality can be seen by the simple fact that you were never asked how you felt about poking Russia in the eye on this matter or any of the previous insults, provocations and encroachments that Washington has been hazarding for years now, to the ever-increasing peril of the human race.

However, there is another solution. In their wisdom, the Founders and Framers equipped the American people with a safety feature hard-wired into the US Constitution by which rogue, out-of-control corruption in the political structure can be nullified and brought to heel through independent action by each concerned man and woman.

That mechanism is one which the American political class has striven hard to keep obscured and misunderstood, even to the point of practicing massive deceptions over many decades on an institutional scale. But once knowledgeably laid-out, the mechanism is surprisingly obvious and very easy to deploy.

It's effect is to choke off the resources by which a corrupt state commits its undesirable behaviors, while leaving the core structure of desirable state capabilities fully intact and functioning.

The entire safety mechanism, and how and why it is unstoppable and effective, can be seen in the two-page document and materials linked therefrom, found here.

Read it, share it, use it.

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...

We Must Never Forget The Old Normal

Supporters of lockdown want us to forget that we once lived freely.

by David McGrogan

We have now spent over a year in lockdown limbo. Vaccines were supposed to release us by ‘early spring’. Matt Hancock promised that after the vulnerable had been vaccinated, the government would ‘cry freedom’. Well, it’s early spring, and the vulnerable have more or less all been vaccinated. But Chris Whitty has been back on the airwaves to tell us that there will ‘definitely’ be a third wave of infections. Meanwhile, the head of Public Health England thinks nothing of saying that we will be wearing masks and obeying social distancing rules for ‘years’ – and might as well since, according to her, we have all grown used to it anyway.

Normal life – the pub, the real pub, where you did not have to wear a mask or produce a certificate to get in; meeting friends for a casual coffee; going to work; going to an art gallery or a football match – already seems like a dimly remembered dream. What will be left of those memories if all this really does go on indefinitely? Particularly if there is an ‘escape variant’ that evades vaccination – or if another pandemic comes along?

The Czech author Milan Kundera begins one of his novels with the observation that ‘The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting’. He wrote this specifically about a tactic of leaders behind the Iron Curtain: ‘airbrushing’ inconvenient people from photographs so as to cleanse them from public record. More generally, he was making the point that ideologies – all ideologies – rely on the obliteration of history. An ideology simplifies all of the complexity of the world to a few trite principles. Because history is messy and complicated and almost never conforms to this kind of exercise in reduction, the solution is to forget history altogether. This is why so many ideologies have a ‘Year Zero’ component in their makeup. They are about ripping things up and starting afresh on a blank slate.

Lockdownism, the ideology that now dominates public life, is no different. One of its central elements is forgetting the past, including the very recent past. Before 2020, nobody spoke about ‘lockdown’, ‘social distancing’, ‘the R-rate’, ‘self-isolation’ and so on. Yet we now talk about these concepts as though they have existed for decades – almost as though they are immutable facts about how we have always dealt with infectious disease, rather than a series of ideas dreamed up on the spur of the moment and imposed in a panic. We are encouraged to forget that things used to be different and that we used to live our lives freely, accepting that there were nasty diseases out there that might kill you if you did, but this was a risk worth taking because the alternative was worse.

Imagine going back in time to this moment two years ago, April 2019, and asking somebody whether it would be acceptable to pause children’s education, put an end to live music and live sport, prevent people from meeting family members or hugging at a funeral, and close businesses for an indefinite period, all in response to a virus which more than 99 per cent of people survive. There would have been only one answer. We all know this. That wasn’t how we used to think about these things. But now, we are forced to forget.

I have a personal perspective on this, because my father died of complications arising from flu – back in 2015, when things were different. He was 70 and had been suffering from a rare degenerative brain condition. He had, for some months, been effectively unable to eat, speak, or move; he was extremely frail and the flu was simply too much for him. He developed pneumonia and died very shortly afterwards. This is not at all uncommon. Over 25,000 people die from pneumonia in a normal year in the UK. If you are in my father’s position – elderly and already very ill – the chances are high that it is what will finish you off.

I was very sad about my father’s death, of course. I loved him and he was my dad. What I do not remember is feeling any sense of anger or injustice about the fact that somebody (who knows who?) had evidently passed the flu virus on to him and thereby ‘killed’ him. In those days – 2015 feels like an aeon ago – we did not think of death in this way. It was just something that happened. Yes, I suppose we all knew in an abstract sense that people can die from viruses they catch from others. But if I had gone around after my father’s death, ranting about the irresponsibility of young people going out socialising and of allowing children to go to school and contribute to the spread of flu, I would – rightly – have been told to seek help.

My father died because somebody passed a virus on to him. I loved him, but it was his time. And I would not have dreamed of expecting the whole of human society to put itself on hold in order to save him. Yet this is now how we are enjoined and encouraged to think about the current pandemic. We must all sacrifice our social lives, our jobs, our communities, even our family life, in order to refrain from spreading a virus and thereby inadvertently killing somebody’s granny.

Afterword

ISN'T THIS A WONDERFUL and important perspective on the insanity of the C19 narrative being offered by David McGrogan? His reminder of the mature, philosophical manner in which we all viewed illness prior to the C19 hysteria engineered by a monolithic media and "official health-science" bureaucracy is a much-needed slap in the face for anyone in the grip of the Kool-Aid.

As well, McGrogan's plain statement of the demented and destructive attitude now demanded of everyone as a supposedly "caring" response to the circulation of a virus serves as a particularly effective means of exposing the utter irrationality-- indeed, the not-credibly-sincere character-- of the panic-mongering and threat against which it is deployed. That dictated response is in no way a real, considered and well-meaning answer to a real problem. The over-the-top tone of that response underscores that the purported threat is just a pretense by which a lust for power is seeking satisfaction.

That there is a respiratory-illness-causing virus going around (or had been, anyway, with perhaps another circulating now, as has been true every year forever) need not be disputed. Nor need it be disputed that respiratory diseases bring on death in certain segments of vulnerable populations-- they always have done so.

Here, though, we have a disease which even its most hyperbolic fear-mongers admit (if rarely other than when forced or in the softest of voices) is no real threat at all to the vast majority of any given population. Further, those to whom the disease IS a threat can, in many cases, render themselves safe by simple practices like losing weight, maintaining prophylactic levels of zinc in their systems, and self-isolation with the use of personal protective equipment when appropriate.

Simple common sense indicates that not by the wildest but sane imagination does such a disease merit any response at all by most people, and certainly not the surrender of rights, destruction of the economy, or a "Great Reset" or "New Normal".

And yet that is what we are being shepherded toward with all deliberate speed. Why?

Plainly it's not the real danger of the C19 disease (or its variants or any other moving goal-post bugaboos). So what is the real reason?

Read between the lines of the narrative. At the end of the path down which we are being led are things which you could not be persuaded to seek of your own free will and without the impetus of a hobgoblin scare.

Maybe what lies at the end of that path are impoverishment, chains or an abattoir. Maybe what lies there is not so dramatic, but in any event, what does NOT lie at the end of that path is liberty.

Dig in your heels.

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..."

"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.”

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!
