"There are two distinct classes of men...those who pay taxes and those who receive and live upon taxes."

-Thomas Paine

 

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

Illuminating anniversaries of this week:

March 13- In 1881, Tsar Alexander II of Russia is assassinated with a thrown bomb.  In 1900, France imposes a limit of 11 hours of work per day on women and children.  In 1933, FDR's "bank holiday" ends.  In 1954, the Viet Minh attack the French at Dien Bien Phu,  In 1962, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Lyman Lemnitzer delivers the plans for 'Operation Northwoods' to Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara.  The plan calls for a series of staged terrorist attacks in American cities false-flagged as Cuban, in order to drum up American public acquiescence to a United States attack on the Castro regime.  In 1986, Microsoft offers its stock for public purchase.  In 2008, gold sells on the New York Mercantile Exchange for $1,000.00 per ounce for the first time.  In 2013, Pope Francis is elected to succeed the abdicating Benedict XVI by a papal conclave whose proceedings were spied on by the United States National Security Agency.

 

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

 

NOTE: I don't even try to include in these anniversary compilations items involved in the "COVID-19" scam, hysteria and exploitation. There would be way too much to say about all that to suit this format. But find my summary of that history, and related observations posted throughout 2020 and 2021, here.

HEY, People!

Please don't just read what I post here (or anywhere), and nod your head sagely or approvingly and then move on to other things. I don't post in order to affirm your sense of things. I post in order to equip you with perspectives and arguments with which to educate others, and in the expectation that you will forward my posts to other people (or direct them to those posts). PLEASE do those things, especially in recognition of the fact that my posts are heavily suppressed. They will NOT get out if you don't get them out.

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

It's A Girl!!

...and the prettiest one in town.

THERE'S NOTHING NEARLY SO NICE as having a baby sleeping on your chest, especially when it's your own grandchild. Our wonderful Katie (and her excellent husband Dylan) blessed Doreen and me with this little charmer on March 1, and we couldn't be happier or more proud.

I realize that this joyful event has had me a bit absent from the helm for the last few weeks, and for that I (sort of) apologize, but I trust everyone will understand and forgive. I also hope everyone will take this heartfelt advice I can offer about grandchildren now that I have one-- GET ONE OF YOUR OWN!! They're great.

Now, Let's Enjoy Some Other Heart-Warming Pictures...

...which show, once again, that Grandpa was NOT really a moron.

WHILE I WAS REPEATEDLY SHUTTLING to Knoxville and back on Grandpa business, the first CtC victories secured in 2023 appeared in my mailbox. I'm going to share a few of them today, to help put everyone in a proper frame of mind as the current "tax season" progresses.

While it's too early in the year for any filings concerning 2022 to have been processed, the tax agencies are still busy dealing with claims for years past. Some of these claims were filed a while ago, others not that long ago at all, and several have distinguishing stories.

As always, every educated claimant you will meet below is a real American hero, standing up for, invoking and enforcing the rule of law. Each sets an example that everyone reading this page should be itching to follow.

Enjoy!

Donald Busch

DON SHARES A VICTORY for 2019, securing the return of everything withheld from him and given over to Missouri under his payer's mistaken notion that Don's work was a taxable activity (or that any and all payments, regardless of the nature of the activity with which it is connected, must be reported to some bureaucrat):

Notably, the filing that produced this complete refund, which can be seen here, was prompted by a demand notice from Missouri, issued December 8, 2022. The state probably now wishes it had let sleeping dogs lie...

WELL DONE, Dan!

***

Myrna Marin

MYRNA IS NEW TO CtC, having joined the community after attending an on-line presentation I gave to a wide-ranging political activist group last November. Myrna wasted no time. She dove headfirst into all the information and then promptly amended old, errant returns and filed pending new ones in the light of the truth about the tax. She has already secured several victories-- here is one of them, from California for 2021:

Here is the filing which secured this complete refund.

WELL DONE, Myrna!!

***

Rob Martin

ROB SHARES HIS LATEST VICTORY, this one from the feds and concerning 2018:

 

Rob won this nearly complete refund with this return, but only after fielding this IRS challenge, to which he delivered this response. As will be noted, even though the IRS properly added on more than $3,700 in interest to this refund, the total is short by a thus-far unexplained $5,000. Rob is waiting for documentation that might shed some light on the ding (the request for which might also simply prompt the issuance of the rest of his property...).

However that turns out,

WELL DONE, Rob!

***

Amizero O'Donnell

AMIZERO SHARES HER LATEST VICTORY, a complete refund from the feds of everything taken from her as "income" taxes during 2018-- with interest:

As will be seen, 2018 predated Amizero's marriage to her excellent husband Tyler, hence her last name appears as Muttu in a few spots in this story...

Here is the filing that produced this victory, after a delay due to an IRS request that she complete and submit this Form 8962. Once that little issue was fixed, the check shown above arrived, along with a pleasing IRS admission of the facts in black-and-white:

WELL DONE, Amizero!

***

To wrap up this happy article, I want to share a heart-and-mind victory testimonial by new member of the CtC community, Misti Schneider:

FINALLY, AND ONCE AGAIN, HATS VERY MUCH OFF to Dan (and Karen), Myrna, Rob, Amizero (and Tyler), and Misti! Their great victories join those of the tens of thousands of other awakened and activated Americans represented here, and constitute more critical steps toward the restoration of the Founders republic and the true rule of law. Their great activism and outreach drive everything forward.

Btw, YOUR victories could be posted, too!

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

That's all there is to it!

YOUR inspiring being-the-storm video could be posted, too! This is easy to do, and very important (plus it can get you some great LHC swag!). See (and carefully read in their entirety) these guidelines and encouragements.

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

"It is not the function of our Government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the Government from falling into error."

-United States Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson

 

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

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

The Irish Letter

An occasional annual tradition of this page in honor of St. Patrick's Day, and for other reasons...

THE FOLLOWING LETTER was found by a friend in his attic some years ago. It may vary rather a good bit from the tone of 21st Century St. Patrick's Day celebrations, but I'm not sure that recent tone hits the right note, anyway.

After all, St. Patrick is honored for driving all the snakes out of Ireland, not for the invention of beer, green or otherwise. Many modern nations could use a good snake-purge, not least of all the USA.

IN ANY EVENT, THIS LETTER offers a fascinating glimpse into a serious reality of the recent past-- British-occupied Ireland-- from which can be taken a lesson all liberty-loving people should keep in their hearts.

Besides, the letter is charming, in its own way, heart-warming, in its own way, and a very entertaining read. And it surely is Irish as all get out...

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 under the fraudulent mantle of COVID-19 mitigation 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], since March of 2020 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...

The Campaign Speech That Brandon Should Have Given

by Thomas DiLorenzo

As everyone knows, Brandon never did campaign for president in 2020. Hiding behind the fraudulent façade of covid hysteria, the Demo-Bolshevik party bigwigs saw to it that he was hermetically sealed up in one of his mansions. His only public appearances were choreographed speeches in parking lots attended by a few dozen paid Demo-Bolshevik party hacks who were instructed to wear masks, remain in their cars, and honk their horns after every sentence. This was their answer to Trump’s gigantic rallies attended by 70,000 or more everywhere he went. The fix was in, as senile Brandon himself admitted publicly in a speech in which he referred to unprecedented vote fraud that was in the works, so why bother?

Imagine now if someone had slipped truth serum into one of Brandon’s beloved ice cream cones just before one of his two or three campaign speeches. What do you imagine he would have said? Here’s my two cents:

“My fellow Americans, If I am elected president we will do everything we can to strangle the energy industries to death. Energy is the lifeblood of American capitalism and therefore must be eradicated if we are to Build Back Better with a totalitarian, pervasively governmentally-controlled, regimented, and planned socialist society. We will shut down as many oil and gas pipelines as possible to begin with. Our goal is to drive energy prices through the roof to get you out of your cars and into government-run buses and trains. Or better yet, on bicycles (like my friend, Howdy Doody look-alike Pete Buttigieg) or on foot. Our ultimate goal is to ban gas-powered cars first, and then all cars, even the electric ones. It takes a lot of planet-destroying fossil fuels to electrify those electric cars, and a lot of earth-plundering lithium mining to manufacture those batteries. All bad for Mother Earth, and should therefore be abolished once and for all.

We will ban gas stoves and the use of natural gas for heat. So buy a sweater before they’re all sold out.

We will no longer enforce immigration laws in order to import tens of millions of third world peasants frantic to be placed on American welfare for eternity. I like to call these people “undocumented Democrats”! This, along with our mastery of vote fraud, will guarantee that we will never again face any real political opposition to our totalitarian socialist agenda. Yes, criminals and even terrorists will walk across the border but hey, as Joe Stalin once reportedly said, you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet.

We will continue our policy of defunding police and letting thousands upon thousands of convicted felons out of prison and into your communities. Cash bail will be ended once and for all. Yes, there will be more crimes in YOUR neighborhoods (but not mine). This is another price that YOU must pay, my fellow Americans (well, most of you anyway), because, as we “liberals” have been saying for the past sixty years, criminals are not the cause of crime, you are, with your white privilege, white supremacy, and worst of all, your capitalist economy. Criminals should be paid reparations for this, not punished for murder, rape, and other crimes that YOU caused them to commit. Call it Karl Marx’s revenge.

We will encourage and help to finance our friends in the “Green” movement to sabotage American food production, from fertilizer to chicken farms, to meat production. Cow farting must be stopped if we are ever to make progress against global warming and you know what that means: No More Red Meat For You! All this farming is harmful to Mother Earth, and as you should know by now, we don’t really give a damn about you and your deplorable, snot-nosed offspring. To paraphrase James Carville, it’s the planet, Stupid!

The nuclear family is the biggest roadblock that we face, for we will never be able to fully brainwash America’s children as long as families can educate and influence their children. We must put an end to parental involvement in public schools, and I intend to brand parents who question our public school priorities as domestic terrorists and have the FBI investigate and prosecute them. Then we will move on to the terrorist threat of home schooling.

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

 

Afterword

DiLORENZO IS IN FINE FORM here, taking full advantage of the target-rich environment into which he has journalistically stepped. Every dart thrown is a useful reminder of the full-spectrum onslaught on American values and principles, and western civilization itself, which is the essence of "progressive" Democrat governance in the 2020s-- both in Washington and in every statehouse in which such vicious, demented nihilists rule.

Taken as a whole, as DiLorenzo means them to be, these reminders should serve to chill the spine and galvanize the resolve of every alert grown-up American yet left amongst us to stand up and say, "NO! No to any more of it, and no to you holding any of your stolen ground. The rollback starts now!"

Happily, some movement in that "rollback" direction is already underway. States NOT controlled by progressives are rapidly banning so-called "trans-genderism"-- that is, the encouragement and exploitation of GCD (Gender Confusion Disorder). Homosexual burlesque for children (i.e., "Drag Queen Story Hours") are likewise getting cleansing attention from state legislatures. More importantly, these abusive displays are drawing public protests by disgusted citizens.

Media companies pushing racism hustles in a relentless and civil-harmony-eroding exploitation of widespread historical ignorance among the younger generations (thank you, public schools), and/or the wildly improper sexualization of children, are losing market share. In some cases these blights on the social landscape are already shedding "woke" management in an effort to stay profitable

The public school indoctrinators of much of the delusional and destructive ideologies which smooth the road for all the social pathologies spreading across the land over the last few years are suddenly facing stern and resolute pushback from parents, or abandonment in favor of healthier education alternatives.

Some of the heavily-cultivated hob-goblin frauds which have served as building blocks for the thus-far ascendant cultural locust-swarm are being laid bare (such as the C19 assault, the January 6 Reichstag-fire ploy*, and others). Some battle-lines have been drawn, here and there, in other ways and on other issues, as well.

DESPITE ALL THOSE POSITIVE TRENDS, the situational dynamics are sub-optimal for the good guys and will remain so without a deep systemic change. The infection has already been allowed to settle in for too long to be readily vulnerable to simple belated rejection and opposition by the remaining sane.

After all, already the next generation of Americans have been, in large part, in the hands of unscrupulous progressive ideologues for years, just as were the last several throughout their K-12+ "educations". Influential institutions and corporations are already  infested with people deeply misled about, or deliberately hostile to, American foundational principles.

Much good can and will be done in various ways to recoup some of what has been lost, and in remediating some of the harm that has been done. And that good and that remediation must be done, for our own sake and that of our children. But it is hard to see a path back to even the America of the turn of the 21st century.

Regardless of every effort now made at this late stage of rot, our world has taken some big hits and will never be again as it once was. Post World War II Americans slept far too long at the switch for that.

Nonetheless, let us not be pessimists-- we CAN accomplish the needed systemic change and root out this blight, or a least, render it impotent against us in many important respects. The solution lies in the same position the Founders took in regard to what was in theory the danger of multiple and possibly incompatible religions co-existing in America-- which is, in fact, a very apt description of our current circumstance.

That position rested on the core American principle of a minimalist state incapable of being deployed by one faction against another (whether on grounds of religious imposition or intolerance, or on any other basis), and capable instead of simply tending to the few requirements involved in securing the liberty rights common to everyone, as enumerated in the delegations expressly made to it.

Key to restoring this harm-potential-minimizing governmental limitation is shrinking the state down to a much less dangerously exploitable size, from which it will simply lack the resources to vigorously foment war in distant places, initiate and enforce bans on popular kitchen appliances, indoctrinate children into progressive delusions, and all the rest.

One simple act by each individual American will do the trick, and it needs no approval or agreement from any institutional authority. That one simple thing will function as a catalyst, compelling the beneficial reorganization of our whole societal and political structure as a natural and inevitable process.

You can see and learn all about this solution-- and how it will play-out under its own relentless logic-- in this little two-page paper. Read it, think about it, share it.

*As much as I am an ardent fan of Tucker Carlson, I am so far somewhat disappointed in his handling of the unique opportunity given to him with access to the January 6 security camera footage. The real red-meat opportunity of that access is to reveal and explain what was undoubtedly the provocateur-engineering of the video-taped rioting so endlessly presented by those exploiting the so-called "insurrection" narrative.

In programs preceding his access-equipped episodes of last week, Carlson headed in the direction of that hugely-important false-flag reporting (i.e., the attention paid to Ray Epps). But these recent programs actually seem to steer away from that subject. I recommend to everyone (and to Carlson, if anyone has his ear and can forward these thoughts) a viewing of the Epoch Times film on January 6, in which this important line of inquiry is well-begun, if incomplete (perhaps due to the Times journalists lacking the resources with which Carlson--and Congress-- are now equipped).

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..."

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!

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

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

(Edward Snowden, come home! It was all just a bad dream; there really is No Such Agency!)

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...

About The Author

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

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

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

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

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

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