Finally, I Believe, We Are
About Ready To Turn The Corner
'The Real Anthony Fauci' shines a very bright light on
the crimes of the C19 scam, and Project Veritas adds more wattage
still. Also, deaths from the "vaccines" are climbing fast and becoming
increasingly difficult to sweep under the rug; the idiocy of the
Kool-Aid drinkers is harder to overlook with as prominent a one as
Sonia Sotomayor representing the class; a few reassuring words
about the deeply corrupt 'John Lewis Voting Rights Act'; and more!
THERE ISN'T MUCH I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE
C19 SCAM, but I'm on a very satisfying journey
filling in what blank spots there are right now.
This is
thanks to the work of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. in his
new book, 'The Real Anthony Fauci'.
Even just a
short way into this rich and articulate presentation,
I have found dozens of highly-important facts for
which I had not even known to look. All contribute
strongly to the construction of the prison cells (or
worse) to which I trust the small army of
malefactors behind the "plandemic" will be subject
once enough people have read Kennedy's book.
Let me give you an example of the
powerful information to be had in Kennedy's
scrupulously thorough, heavily footnoted
presentation.
Kennedy spends the first chapter of 'The
Real Anthony Fauci' sounding the alarm over
the current state of affairs with the COVID-19 (C19)
situation. Among other extremely important topics in
that overall category, Kennedy provides an in-depth
discussion of the vigorous and vicious (and ongoing)
campaign to smear Hydroxychloroquine
(HCQ) and suppress the fact that it is both a highly effective prophylactic and
treatment of early-symptomatic C19 (especially when
used in combination with Azithromycin and zinc). This campaign
went on despite widespread and dramatic clinical
success with the drugs early in 2020-- and even a
well-established foundation for the use of HCQ dating
back to research studies as early as 2004 and
through practical application during several
previous coronavirus outbreaks (SARS and MERS).
I
wrote extensively about this suppression/smear
campaign as much of it
unfolded in the Spring of 2020 (see
here,
here,
here
and
here, for example).
But as it turns out, I began paying
attention to the HCQ issue several months later than
I should have done, and would have done had I known
what Robert Kennedy has to reveal about it. Further,
I should have been more nuanced in my discussion of
the effect of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) on
the response to HCQ's emergence into the spotlight
in late March of 2020 and of the overall dynamic of
that disparaging, hostile and outright mendacious
response.
It's true that TDS was exploited, but
this was more as a pretense by which the real nature
of the opposition to HCQ was concealed. And the response
overall was NOT mere opportunism by the
"vaccine"-mongers, as I had imagined. Instead, it
was actually just the next phase in a suppression
agenda already months into execution.
AS KENNEDY SHOWS, as early as January
2020 the sociopaths ginning up the C19 panic and
setting the stage for the transfer of $billions from
the rest of us into their already bulging pockets
had launched their campaign. Long before C19 was on
the world radar screen as more than a side-story on
the evening news these monsters arranged for HCQ-- a
drug approved by the FDA without limitation for 65
years now, deemed safe by the CDC for pregnant
women, breast-feeding women, infants, children,
elderly and even immune-compromised patients, listed
as an "essential medicine" by the WHO and used
billions of times world-wide-- to be quietly
re-categorized from the over-the-counter status it
had enjoyed for decades in both France and Canada to
prescription-access only.
Indeed, France actually re-categorized
HCQ as a "List II poisonous substance"-- again, in
advance of C19 becoming the 24/7 news story
rehearsed in Bill Gates' "Event 201" conference in
October of 2019. Think about that timing. This could
only have happened because what was coming was
known, and desired, by the sick minds responsible.
The simple fact is that with HCQ long
known to be a hugely effective treatment and
prophylactic-- that is, a pre-infection shield-- for
coronaviruses of the C19 variety, it had to be
pushed off the table. If HCQ were in the mix as it
deserved to be, no emergency use authorization for
the Fauci/Gates "vaccines"-- by which each (and
others) have been massively enriched-- would
have been possible under FDA rules.
Similarly, the hugely lucrative
deployment of Remdesivir, also a product of Fauci
and Gates (and a few others) hinged on the lack of
successful early treatment of C19 infections by HCQ
and any other similarly-effective drug (such as
Ivermectin-- also an "essential medicine" per the
WHO, long used with an extraordinary safety record
world-wide and clinically-proven to be hugely
effective against C19).
Remdesivir has been shown by definitive
clinical trials in various countries to be not only
ineffective against C19 but also severely toxic to
its recipients. Nonetheless, due to shameless lies
about Remdesivir's performance by Fauci and his
co-conspirators, and with HCQ actually banned for
use against C19 in many places thanks to the same
cabal of vested interests, governments around the
world have bought Remdesivir in huge volumes for
counter-productive administration at more than
$3,000 per treatment to seriously-ill patients. Many
of these patients will have died from the "treatment" itself,
and more from having been denied lifesaving HCQ or Ivermectin in furtherance of the snake-oil scheme.
Even without going to the deaths and
other horrendous ill effects of Fauci & Co.'s
"vaccines", this deliberate and coordinated campaign
to keep actual life-saving treatments with HCQ (and
Ivermection) from sick people in order to sell
ineffective and harmful but highly profitable
poisons like Remdesivir and the "vaccines" is a
crime of enormous dimensions. Anyone who has lost a
loved one to C19 should recognize that
responsibility for nearly all such fatalities can
and should be laid at the feet of those who have
hindered the administration of HCQ and Ivermectin.
Also, no one should pay a moment's heed
to anyone opining about C19 in any respect who has
not read at least the 144 small-print,
narrow-margined pages of the introduction and Chapter 1 of Robert F. Kennedy
Jr.'s book, 'The
Real Anthony Fauci'.
Btw, it took me many weeks to get my
copy. Don't delay in ordering yours.
***
BY HAPPY COINCIDENCE, the good folks at Project Veritas
have just added to the indictment of the guilty
parties discussed above with the exposure
of documentation showing that Fauci's designated gain-of-function researcher,
Peter Daszak's EcoHealth Alliance, sought funding for the C19
virus project from DARPA (the Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency) in 2015, but were turned
down because the research would violate the law. So, Fauci
proceeded to fund the research directly through his
own organization.
Now, after letting this backstory of
the C19 origin sink in, reflect again on the
revelations I discuss above from Robert F. Kennedy's
'The Real Anthony Fauci', involving massive profits
to be made from purported "treatments" and
"vaccines" of the virus created by these same folks,
first at labs in North Carolina (and
possibly at Ft. Detrick, MD) and then at a
lab-for-hire in Wuhan, China.
Really let it all percolate. Then let
it boil over.
And btw, along with all else that might
be inspired by that high-temperature reflection,
never again tolerate anyone calling C19 "the China
virus" or any other label or expression either meant
to jingoistically politicize the pandemic or to
divert attention and culpability from the real
villains here.
***
On a few other notes...
I WOULD LIKE TO THINK that it is clear
to everyone that the over-the-top, formulaic vehemence of Democrat
chants about January 6 is meant to forestall and
distract from attention to
the various frauds
practiced in the 2020 election... It is a "strong
offense is the best defense" tactic, and it should be
denounced and derided.
Btw, too little attention was paid
during all the punditry a week-and-a-half ago to the growing
evidence that the little bit of riotous behavior
that took place on January 6 was
the contrivance of a false-flag operation. The
object was to create a pretext for impeachment
proceedings in which Trump could be pressured to not
pardon Assange and Snowden or
declassify various skeletons in the Deep State's
closet, as he had been threatening to do.
Trump was expressly told by at least Mitch McConnell
that if he issued those pardons, etc., the senate
would convict him and preclude him from running for
office again. This was a serious threat to an ego as
big as DJT's (who otherwise would suffer no penalty
from an impeachment conviction).
The false flag riot (ridiculously
called an "insurrection" by the conspirators)
was also meant to provide a pretext for surrounding the
Capitol
(and Biden's inauguration) with troops and barbed
wire and to establish a narrative framework in which
persistent dissenters from the coup and the new
regime's policies could be threatened with treatment
as "terrorists" and "insurrectionists".
Without having the relevant video
footage in hand by which this notion might be
advanced confidently, I will add my own speculation
that the murder of Ashli Babbitt may have been part
of the plot. That murder may have been committed in
order to generate violent reactions of panic and/or
defensive hostility in the dupes who had been lured
into the Capitol through the broken windows
in the rear, and amongst those still outside the
building-- the video footage of which is gold to
those misrepresenting the events.
The UK reports that deaths from C19 are
overwhelmingly from among the "vaccinated":
OneAmerica Insurance, a large life
insurance company headquartered in Indianapolis,
reports a 40% increase in all-cause mortality during
the second half of 2021, a figure its CEO, J. Scott
Davison, describes in catastrophic terms: “Just to
give you an idea of how bad that is, a three-sigma
or a one-in-200-year catastrophe would be 10%
increase over pre-pandemic,” he said. “So 40% is
just unheard of.”
See that
story here.
Alex Berenson reports on a large British study
showing dramatic increases in life-threatening
myocarditis with each "vaccine" injection.
Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi discusses the tendency of
the mRNA "vaccines" to destroy existing
immunological protection against dormant infections
already present in most people, and the results of a
series of recent autopsies of victims of
post-vaccine unexpected deaths.
There's a lot more out there, for those
willing to look. Still more will be coming.
Needless to say, the disquieting (and
for some, highly inconvenient) truth is hedged about
by concealing or confusing lies everywhere that can
be managed by those behind the "vaccinate everyone
no matter what" engine of madness. But a modest bit
of grown-up attention to details-- something this
CtC-educated community is particularly
well-equipped to deploy-- will readily overcome that
hindrance.
***
THERE'S A LOT THAT COULD BE SAID about
the Supreme Court's hearing last week on Brandon's
illegal and grossly wrong "vaccine" mandates...
Here's one thing:
Another would go to the correction of a
bit of misinformation that got aired in the hearing
and has also been a regular desperation talking
point as the pandemic narrative collapses in the
face of too much contrary data and increasing
numbers of grown-ups rising to their feet. That
misinformation-- as likely to come from the
anti-mandate side as any other-- is the falsehood
that it is only "the omicron variant" that is
slipping past and infecting (or making transmitters)
of the "vaccinated".
In fact, the "vaccines" have NEVER
prevented infection (and hence, transmission), even
from the very first days they began to be injected
into ignorant fools now burdening the health-care
infrastructure in ever-increasing numbers (as well
as county morgues across the USA and elsewhere).
See this CDC admission of
"breakthrough" infections from January 1, 2021--
the very beginning of the "vaccination" assault.
Take particular note of the clarifications added at
the very end of this admission, as well:
The findings in this report are
subject to at least two limitations. First, the
number of reported COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough
cases is likely a substantial undercount of all
SARS-CoV-2 infections among fully vaccinated
persons. The national surveillance system relies on
passive and voluntary reporting, and data might not
be complete or representative. Many persons with
vaccine breakthrough infections, especially those
who are asymptomatic or who experience mild illness,
might not seek testing.
Second, SARS-CoV-2 sequence data are
available for only a small proportion of the
reported cases. Beginning May 1, 2021, CDC
transitioned from monitoring all reported COVID-19
vaccine breakthrough infections to investigating
only those among patients who are hospitalized or
die, thereby focusing on the cases of highest
clinical and public health significance. CDC will
continue to lead studies in multiple U.S. sites to
evaluate vaccine effectiveness and collect
information on all COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough
infections regardless of clinical status. Additional
information and resources to help public health
departments and laboratories investigate and report
COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough cases are available at
https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/health-departments/breakthrough-cases.html.
Smack anyone who repeats the bs about
only moronic (I mean, "omicron") escaping the
"vaccines" across the head-- figuratively, of
course...
***
ALTHOUGH THE "JOHN LEWIS VOTING RIGHTS
ACT" IS YESTERDAY'S NEWS (until tomorrow, anyway), let me
take a moment to point out that while Article 1,
Section 4 of the US Constitution provides that
Congress may, by law, make or alter regulations as
to the Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections
for federal Senators and Representatives (except as
to the Places of choosing Senators), Article 1,
Section 2 provides that "Electors [voters] in each
State shall have the Qualifications requisite for
Electors of the most numerous Branch of the State
Legislature."
As an example of what this means, and
why in most, if not all, cases the section 2
provision would nullify at least the "voter ID"
corruption in Biden's proposed act, here are the
qualifications imposed by Michigan's Constitution:
§ 1 Qualifications of electors;
residence.
Sec. 1. Every citizen of the United
States who has attained the age of 21 years*, who has
resided in this state six months, and who meets the
requirements of local residence provided by law,
shall be an elector and qualified to vote in any
election except as otherwise provided in this
constitution. The legislature shall define residence
for voting purposes.
(*The "21 years" provision is
overridden by the 26th Amendment to the US
Constitution, providing for voting at age 18.)
In order to exercise the franchise, one
must be a citizen (and a permanent resident of the
state). It is clearly implied that such
qualifications must be proven at the polling place.
Certainly any legislation by Congress
enacted under a "John Lewis Voting Rights Act" which
attempted to prevent the showing of voter ID by
which these qualifications can be proven would stand
in prima facie conflict with Article 1, Section 2.
This doesn't mean that the JLVRA is
toothless, or can be safely ignored. It is a
pernicious attempt to make widespread
the
corrupt practices conducive to fraud by which the
2020 election was gimmicked, and should be
denounced and opposed accordingly (and its advocates
called out for the villains that they are). But
maybe if word gets around that the "voter ID" aspect
is doomed to fail those flogging the noxious thing
will abandon it.
***
FINALLY, I recently heard a
podcaster of whom I am generally fond defend his
continued use of Twitter while leaving other,
competing "social media" platforms unused. This was
after a one-day suspension for a perfectly rational
"tweet" on the lunatic subject of "gender fluidity"
which he made into the subject of a podcast segment,
and a subsequent challenge from a listener to the
wisdom of the practice, in light of that experience.
The defense offered was that by
continuing to "tweet", this fellow was using the
enemy's weapon against it, so to speak. He argued
that by using Twitter he was introducing rationality
into the madhouse and and reaching an audience for
his ideas which would otherwise never hear them.
With all affection possible, I have to
say that this is delusional.
TO BEGIN WITH, it is not true that the
podcaster was successfully injecting sanity into the
asylum. If Twitter would allow that to happen, this
issue about being on the platform at all would never
have come up.
The truth is that rational voices are
suppressed on Twitter, in direct proportion to their
degree of actual reach into the dialogue and/or the
degree to which their expressions actually threaten
the supremacy of the favored narrative.
In fact, as a pernicious consequence of
the balanced suppression administered by the
platform owners, rational voices become conditioned
to be circumspect in what they say. Those rational
voices do not game Twitter; it is, rather, the other
way around. To see the truth of this, reflect on how
long it has been since you have heard a "plandemic"
opponent-- of however substantial a stature--
discuss plainly the horrific side effects of the
"vaccines" on Twitter or YouTube.
Or how long it has been since you have
heard a rational voice speak plainly and without
restraint about voter fraud in the 2020 election. Or
gore any other oxen of the narrative managers...
Rather than subvert the Twitter
overlords, rational voices that continue to use such
platforms give their own positions the appearance of
insignificance by their conditioned and imposed
soft-pedaling of those ideas, or worse, perhaps, in
articulating those ideas to any extent, give their
platform-favored opponents opportunities to
disparage, denounce and (at least in the eyes and to
the satisfaction of the mob) rebut those ideas.
Nothing good comes of this, and some
bad certainly does.
FURTHER, TIME AND ATTENTION SPENT on
Twitter (and Facebook and Instagram and any other
non-classic-liberal platform) is time lost during
which followings and bodies of work could be being
built on competing platforms friendly to the
message. This matters.
Not only would the use of respectful
and friendly platforms like GAB and Rumble and
Bitchute and Brighteon allow for the unrestrained
expression of truth and honest viewpoints (and a
much more effective honing of the perspectives and
arguments, as comments and dialogues are offered
from readers/viewers open to the messages), but it
is the manner in which contact groups are formed
which will be valuable and reliably available in
times of need.
To put that last point bluntly, if
Twitter is the place in which an opponent of the
narrative has developed his/her base, God help that
person if it becomes necessary to reach out with a
meaningful call to action threatening to, or opposed
by, the narrative's masters.
An opponent of the narrative using
Twitter as his contact medium is like Paul Revere
entrusting his alarm message to the British postal
system. The message won't get out, or can't be
relied upon to do so.
Better to have 1,000 followers on GAB
than 100,000 on Twitter. You may nominally be
speaking to fewer correspondents, but at least they
will actually hear you, and you can actually say
what you mean. And if push comes to shove, your
alarm won't find a pillow over its face.
OK, HERE'S THE REAL "FINALLY"-- a
sharp, dead-on and stinging response by a Chinese
journalist to the hypocrisy of US criticisms of
Chinese treatment of journalists in Hong Kong:
We can and should do better. Much
better.
As can be found at the end of each of
my newsletter email alerts:
"I confidently trust that the American
people will prove themselves...too wise not to
detect the false pride or the dangerous ambitions or
the selfish schemes which so often hide themselves
under that deceptive cry of mock patriotism: 'Our

recognize that our dignity, our free institutions
and the peace and welfare of this and coming
generations of Americans will be secure only as we
cling to the watchword of true patriotism: 'Our
country--when right to be kept right; when wrong to
be put right.'"

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

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
universal deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary
act."
At the end of 2021, a year of weird speaking, Americans
learned
from Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) that “student debt is policy violence.”
Previously, Americans were
lectured that “silence is violence” — that not voicing support for this or
that supposedly oppressed group is violence against it. The proliferation of new
forms of violence raises a question: Are old forms — say, a flash mob
looting a Louis Vuitton store — still violence? Or is this just the vigorous
articulation of intersectional consciousness against consumer culture’s
commodification of everything, including commodities?
Normal people, who might want to toss anvils to
progressives drowning in their jargon, should modify George Orwell’s
axiom that “the great enemy of clear language is insincerity.”
Today, the enemy of clarity is the scary sincerity of progressives who
are politically inflamed about everything.
Two percent of Hispanics,
according to a national poll cited by Politico, approve of
progressives designating them Latinx. In 2021, did Blacks and Indigenous
People of Color suddenly start thinking of themselves as
BIPOCs? Or did
advanced thinkers volunteer to do BIPOCs’ thinking for them? In Dane
County, Wis., home of the hyper-progressive University of Wisconsin, the
sheriff’s office
announced a new “philosophy”: Persons in jail are no longer
“inmates,” they are “residents” or “those within our care.”
The word “infrastructure” polls well because,
in normal usage, it denotes glistening new airports and such like. So,
congressional progressives decided that
increased “investment” for school lunches — the word “spending” has
been stricken from progressivism’s lexicon — and every other domestic
purpose counts as “social
infrastructure.” Including the Build Back Better bill’s provisions
concerning “tree
equity.” Note, however, that an Oregon high school — in progressive
Portland, of course —
hesitated before changing its mascot from a Trojan to an evergreen
tree, which might evoke thoughts of lynchings.
Colorado’s constitution
forbids “any distinction or classification of pupils … on account of
race or color,” a provision adopted in 1974, during the national recoil
against segregation. Now, however, a Denver school is
planning, when covid-19 permits, a “families of color playground
night,” a project overseen by something not all elementary schools have:
the school’s “dean of culture.”
Civil rights complaints, citing the 1964 Civil
Rights Act and the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of equal protection of the
laws, have been
filed against the Denver school, and against a Downers Grove, Ill.,
high school for its “Students of Color Field Trip Opportunity.” An
Indiana school district
urged teachers to join one of 12 “affinity groups” based on race,
sexual preference, etc. The group for Whites is called “Confronting
White Privilege.”
In indigo-blue California, where the
progressive itch to micromanage everyone’s life is unimpeded, Los
Angeles restaurants are now
required to fight our “extreme climate challenges” (says the new
law’s sponsor) by giving plastic ketchup and mustard packets only to
customers who request them. At Yale University, where an emotionally
fragile undergraduate
said he felt “victimized” by daylight saving time, a lecturer at the
School of Medicine
inflamed the sensitive when she said that during her year studying
the opioid crisis in rural Ohio, she was surprised to find there an
“artisanal coffee shop.” Her sensitive listeners denounced this as
“dehumanizing, demeaning and classist,” and indicative of the lecturer’s
“problematic” thinking. “Problematic” is progressive-speak for
“justifies cancellation.”
Actor Jussie Smollett had
said that when he went out for a sandwich … at 2 a.m. … in a subzero
Chicago January … he encountered — such rotten luck! — two political
activists shouting “this is MAGA country” … who, amazingly, on their
ramble just happened to be carrying a noose … and bleach … that they
doused him with … and ….
A 2021 jury of Chicagoans
said: Puh-lease. We think this tale belongs on the growing list
(e.g., the
2006 Duke lacrosse rape, the
2012 University of Virginia fraternity rape) of American horrors
that never happened.
In April, a National
Archives task force
said the Archives Rotunda exemplifies
“structural racism” because it “lauds wealthy White
men in the nation’s founding,” thereby marginalizing
BIPOCs and others. The report recommended that
“trigger warnings” be attached to Archives materials
to “forewarn audiences of content that may cause
intense physiological and psychological symptoms.”
Among the potentially harmful terms
identified were “illegal alien” and “elderly.”
"There is no safety for honest men but by believing all
possible evil of evil men."

GEORGE WILL AS MY 'OTHER VOICES' guest, twice in a row now!
This is a sign of the times.
As I said
last
edition, Will has always had his roots in
paleocon soil, if not (the patrician version of)
classical liberalism. But in recent years, and
especially as the Washington Post went especially
bent during the Trump years, Will's flat-out disdain
for progressive nonsense has been somewhat veiled.
The fact that two of Will's recent
columns have made the cut for this space shows that
the brave new world construction crew has begun
crossing so many lines, and stepping on so many
serious sensibilities, that room is opening up for
denunciation where previously it had been
suppressed. This is to be celebrated and used as
fuel for the redoubling of all opposition to the
insanity. Pile on, and don't forget the importance
of the double tap!
In addition to Will's erudite snark
directed against thoroughly deserving particular
targets, and the nicely-summarized overall target of
language abuse in general, this column appealed to
me with its implicit focus on the critical
importance of accuracy of expression-- something
near and dear to the
CtC-educated heart.
SO, GOOD JOB, GEORGE WILL! You adding your weight and your
wit to the right side of the culture war is heartening to the rest of
us, and we hope you won't let up.
At the same time, it's important for
everyone to recognize that progress is not victory,
and the only real and durable solution to the
threats of unscrupulous enemies of reason, liberty
and the rule of law is the elimination of weapons
such enemies might capture and use against the rest
of us, as has been going on for far too long
already.
Hence,
the optimal (and only real) solution to the core problem of progressive
and "woke" SJW nutcases-- which is the
ability of such people to gain control or influence over a
centralized state that can be used to impose false narratives and worse
on everyone else-- is to shrink the Leviathan state. Only the dramatic diminishment of the
power and footprint of government-- the chief tool of abuse available to those with designs upon the rest of us-- can afford
us true security. Nothing
else will do.
Unfortunately, while remediation efforts undertaken in the
political arena and in the courts are virtuous, and merit our
enthusiastic support and participation... they will fail. All such
efforts will look to the existing political and legal structure for
their implementation. In the current climate, in which the established
structures are so heavily compromised and corrupted, such reliance is
more a naive hope than a certainty.
Our efforts must focus on striking at the taproot of the
problem.
HAPPILY, THE FOUNDERS AND FRAMERS prepared against this precise
need, knowing that all governments inevitably lurch toward the accretion
of power unto themselves and the corruption which accompanies all
accretions of state power. They put into place a solution ready to the
hand of individual Americans, entirely bypassing all supervision or
approval of the state.
The only requirements to implement that solution are eyes
with which to see the problem, reasoning with which to recognize the
truth and rightness of the solution, and courage, confidence and clarity
of mind enough to pull the trigger in the face of the natural and
predictable effort of the targeted rogue state to discourage doing so.
Learn about the Founder's solution
at this link.
Then help others do so, as well.
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 (sixteenth)
edition of
CtC!
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!)
Nothing gets done without a reason, and when something appears inexplicable,
that's often just because you haven't been sufficiently hard-nosed in your
analysis.
Btw, a copy of
CtC from anywhere except the link above may not
be a current edition. CHECK. It matters. Also, there ARE no
e-book, Kindle or .pdf versions of
CtC.
Don't get taken in by efforts to sell you-- or even give you for
free-- any such thing.
January 18- In 1788, the first
shiploads of English convicts arrive at Botany Bay in Australia. In 1861,
Georgia becomes the fifth of the several states to secede from the Union. In
1896, the world gets its first look at an X-ray machine. In 1911, an aircraft
lands on a ship for the first time (Eugene Ely pilots a plane onto the deck of
the USS Pennsylvania in San Francisco harbor). In 1990, Washington, D.C. mayor
Marion Barry is arrested for drug possession. In 1998, the Clinton-Lewinsky
affair is revealed by an internet news outlet. In 2012, the effort by the
United States to compromise the freedom and integrity of the internet under the
"Stop Online Piracy Act" and the "Protect Internet Privacy Act" is met with a
coordinated "Blackout Day" in protest by numerous major internet operations. In
2018, a false emergency warning of an impending missile strike (imagined to be a
nuclear missile from Korea) caused a widespread panic in Hawaii (and yet
Hawaiians for some reason have never been up in arms-- or panicked-- regarding
the perpetual provocations of enormously-nuclear-armed Russia by every
administration since the Clinton era in the 1990s, and especially during the
Trump administration).

January 20- In 1265, the first English Parliament holds its
inaugural meeting. In 1649, Charles I of England goes on trial for treason and
other high crimes. In 1841, Britain occupies the island of Hong Kong. In 1885,
the roller-coaster is patented. In 1944, the Royal Air Force drops 2,300 tons

hostages upon the inauguration of Ronald Reagan, pursuant to an earlier
agreement. In 2017, Donald J. Trump becomes the oldest person ever inaugurated
as President of the United States (at 70). In 2021, after governmental areas of
Washington, DC are surrounded by barbed wire and ten thousand troops are
deployed throughout, Joe Biden is inaugurated as President of the United States
as the culmination of a sophisticated coup carried out by Big Tech and Big
Pharma billionaires, along with a host of Democrat operatives throughout the

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.
