It's the twentieth anniversary of the book's publication, and now it's time for:
August 23- In 1305, Scottish patriot
William Wallace is tortured to death by command of Edward I of England for
"treason". In 1989, a 420-mile-long human chain of as many as two million
Latvian, Estonians and Lithuanians formed demanding independence from the Soviet
Union. In 1990, Armenia declares its independence from the Soviet Union. In
2003, 'Cracking the
Code- The Fascinating Truth About Taxation In America' is published.

AUGUST 23, 2023: So, it's exactly twenty years since CtC first rolled off the presses.
They sure do grow up fast, right?
Well, actually, not in this case. That twenty years has
been a long, seemingly endless slog.
From the get-go, corrupt elements in the federal
government have striven hard to suppress the book. The threat CtC
represents to the Leviathan state was known even before that first
printing, as evidenced by the appearance on my door one evening the
following February of a print-out of LHC from August 23, 2003 (it
was very small then), along with a summons for me to appear before
an IRS bureaucrat to explain why the book should not be enjoined.
I had first posted the core revelations of CtC in
December of 2002, and had doubtless been on the agency's radar
screen from that time forward. It seems that when I followed up with
the much more comprehensive and accessible treatment in book form 9
months later, someone decided it was time to step in and smother
this dangerous baby in the crib.
That summons led to a series of defeats for the
government, but was then followed by a decade+
of
increasingly corrupt assaults and smears-- even as local, state and
federal tax agencies quietly issued
hundreds of
thousands of refunds to claimants informed by CtC. You can (and
very much should) read the fully-documented and highly-revealing
story of this abuse and hypocrisy
here.
DURING THE SAME PERIOD DESCRIBED ABOVE, CtC was pirated
multiple times and passed around the internet as .pdfs (with the
copyright page omitted, of course). Shortly before I was sentenced
after
a seriously kangaroo court proceeding on charges of not
believing what I reveal in the book I released an authorized free
edition myself, being uncertain at that point of my ability to
continue to get this hugely important truth out to the American
public going forward.
Nonetheless, a lot of folks who became aware of CtC
never bothered to actually get the book, relying instead on
word-of-mouth representations of its information (often offered by
others who themselves had no direct knowledge) which were invariably
incomplete, if not
outright misrepresentations.
In other cases, even folks who HAD "read" the book only
paid attention to the portions they thought relevant to their own
circumstances, imagining they already understood the tax generally,
or didn't fall prey to that disastrous mistake but still failed to make it through the appendix
and to the
last page. It is there that readers are strongly advised to proceed
to the extensive and steadily-growing supplemental material I have
spent twenty years posting in increasing depth on LHC-- especially
material added in response to the various ploys, dodges,
obfuscations and evasions seized on by tax agencies trying to keep
the "ignorance tax" gravy train rolling in the face of CtC's
revelations.
And then, of course, there are many folks who have done
everything right but simply have failed to see every new
supplemental post as they have been added or updated over the years,
since they (understandably) don't live and breathe this subject the
way I do, and (less understandably) have failed to diligently read
my newsletters announcing or containing these supplements.
Finally, there are also folks hungry to
learn the truth about the tax but afflicted with visual impairments.
These folks have waited for a version of the book accessible to
anyone equipped with OCR-capable
text-to-speech software.
It is to serve the interests of all these folks listed
above, and hopefully to dramatically expand the ranks of educated
and activated Americans on the field of battle against the enemies
of the rule of law that I have decided to release CtC online, for
anyone and everyone to read at no charge (although
donations and appreciations will be
gratefully accepted).
FURTHER, AND IMPORTANTLY, I have
taken advantage of the opportunity presented by the
online format to make this posted version fully annotated,
with links to relevant supplemental material
throughout the text.

Not Letting This "Crisis" Go To Waste...
...an important action item opportunity.
FRIENDS, THE SPORADIC EASINGS of the despotic measures to
which most of the country has been subjected under
since the onset of the
COVID-19 hobgoblin narrative 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.
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
(weapon of mass instruction) far and wide.
Remember: Real Americans don't accommodate fog, lies and a sliding scale of
adherence to the rule of law. Real American men and women stand up for the
truth and the law, come what may, knowing that it is only by setting the bar
at the top and enforcing it, come what may, that liberties are secured.

JOB ONE, PEOPLE!!! SPREAD. THE. WORD.

Spreading the truth. Accordingly, I've assembled

"In a time of
universal deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary
act."
From the moment the war in Ukraine started, Western
reporting on the war was a radical repudiation of
the truth. Washington and its NATO allies always
knew that
NATO expansion to Russia’s borders would
precipitate an armed conflict with Moscow, but
NATO’s ruling globalist class did not care. For
them, Russia in 2022 was unchanged from the weak and
incapable Russia of the late 1990s. The risk of
failure seemed low. Ergo, Russia could be bullied
into submission.
Americans and most
Europeans did not bother to question or analyze.
Widespread strategic ignorance about Russia and
Eastern Europe ensured that most Americans and even
West Europeans would react quickly and viscerally to
the Western media’s distorted images and lies about
Russia. At the same time, tolerance for criticism of
Washington’s role in fashioning the corrupt and
deceitful conduct of the Volodymyr Zelenskyy Regime
and its war
was disallowed in the press.
Washington’s ruling class
was cheered when it dismissed Russian proposals for
talks on any grounds that did not recognize NATO’s
right to transform Ukraine into a base for U.S. and
Allied Military Power aimed at Russia. Ukrainian
flags sprouted from the lush grounds of America’s
wealthier neighborhoods like flowers in an arboretum
and wonders in the form of limitless military
assistance, miracle weapons, and cash were promised
to President Zelenskyy––promises that
strategic reality did not justify.
In 2022 the Biden Administration no longer possessed
the military and economic strength to wage high-end
conventional warfare that it had in 1991. Waging a
major war 10,000 miles from home on the Eurasian
continent is impossible without the support of truly
powerful Allies on the model of the British Empire
during WWII. Washington’s NATO allies are military
dependencies, not formidable strategic partners.
Whereas Russian Military Power is still structured
for decisive operations launched from Russian soil,
U.S. Military power is geared to project limited
air, naval, and land power thousands of miles from
home to the periphery of Asia and Africa. American
military power consists of boutique forces designed
for safari in Africa and the Middle East, not
decisive combat operations against great continental
powers like Russia or China.
Eighteen months later Ukraine is in ruins. Its
latest
counteroffensive achieved nothing. In the last
three weeks, an estimated 26,000 Ukrainian soldiers
died in pointless attacks against world-class
Russian defenses ‘in depth.’ (Defenses ‘in depth’
mean a security zone of 15 -25 kilometers in front
of the main defense, that consists of at least three
defense belts twenty or more kilometers deep.)
By comparison, Russian losses were minimal.
Today, more than 100,000 Russian troops are
conducting offensive operations along the Lyman-Kupiansk
axis. These forces include 900 tanks, 555 artillery
systems and 370 multiple rocket launchers. It does
not take much imagination to anticipate the
breakthrough of these forces to the North where they
can encircle Kharkiv.
Once Russian Forces surround the city, they will
become an irresistible magnet for Ukraine’s last
reserve of 30-40,000 troops. Ukrainian Forces
attacking to the East to break through to Kharkov
will present the combination of Russian space and
terrestrial-based ISR (intelligence, surveillance,
reconnaissance) assets and Precision Strike
Aerospace, Artillery, Rocket, and Missile Systems
with a target array that only a blind man could
miss.
None of these developments should surprise anyone in
the West. Building a Ukrainian army on the fly with
a hotchpotch of hastily assembled equipment from a
multitude of NATO members and an officer corps of
many courageous, but inexperienced officers had
little chance of success even under the best of
circumstances.
“Units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are at such
terrible states of degradation that soldiers are
abandoning their posts, and whilst not mentioned in
these documents, a flood of videos have been
published from Russian sources claiming Ukrainian
service personnel are surrendering at the first
opportunity owing to the belief that they are being
treated as ‘nothing more than cannon fodder.’”
Events on the ground are beginning to
overtake the carefully orchestrated charade in
Kiev. There is little that pontificating retired
generals and armchair military analysts can do to
halt the inevitable. Moscow understands that the war
will not end without Russian offensive action.
Whatever the Washington’s original goals may have
been, they are unrealizable. Russian Forces will
soon fall on the Ukrainian forces with the momentum
and
the impact of an avalanche.
In view of these points, before all of Ukraine’s
manpower is annihilated, or a “Coalition of the
Willing” from Poland and Lithuania marches into
Western Ukraine, Washington can arrest Ukraine’s
downward spiral into total defeat, and Washington’s
own irresponsible drift into a regional war with
Russia for which Washington and its allies are not
prepared.
Cooler heads can prevail inside the beltway. The
fighting can stop, but a ceasefire, and the
diplomatic talks that must proceed from a ceasefire,
will not occur unless Washington and its Allies
acknowledge three critical points:
DOUGLAS MACGREGOR'S is always a voice of well-informed and
well-disciplined reason on the subject of the Ukraine proxy project of
the overall "Russian
hobgoblin" campaign. In the piece featured above Macgregor once
again showcases those important qualities.
There is much more that could and
perhaps should been said in the commentary, though.
Omitted, for instance, is any summary
of the complete backstory of this war, and its having been
orchestrated from at least 2014 by the US (under the
supervision of Joe Biden, in fact). See
here
and
here.
Also left unsaid is any debunk of the
mythology that Russian forces had tried to actually
capture Kiev upon commencement of their Special
Military Operation in February of 2022 but were
incapable of doing so (rather than the fact that the
feint against Kiev was simply a ploy meant to compel
Ukraine to reposition its military assets from their
initial posture massed in preparation for the ethnic
cleansing of the Donbas-- which Russia's SMO was
launched to prevent-- and into one better suited for
Russia's "demilitarization" and "denazification"
agenda). See
here.
In the same vein as that latter
omission, Macgregor also leaves out of his final
"critical points" that must be acknowledged in order
to see an end to the fighting is the fact that the
Donbas and Crimea (and now, since Ukraine and its
puppetmasters have persisted in keeping things
kinetic, perhaps more territory, as well) are part
of Russia, and will remain so.
All that said, we can return to
Macgregor's basic point, which is that the US's
Ukraine project is death, destruction and waste
without legitimate cause, grounded in hubris and
foolish ignorance at best, and doomed to failure of
at least its stated goals. (The possibility that
there might be other, darker, unstated goals must be
considered, under the principle that a tree should
and can only be known by its fruit.)
THAT BASIC AND INARGUABLE POINT of
Macgregor's article, that the US Ukraine project is
futile, disastrous and corrupt, leads us to a point
I routinely make in these afterwords to Other Voice
offerings: The American people must step up and take
charge of this country's course, cutting the fuel
for the engine which is chugging us along at maximum
velocity toward every iceberg in the ocean, by
exercising their authority over the disposition of
their resources, as provided for by the Founders and
as relied upon by the Founders.
Individual action making
use of
the structure and limitations of the federal
taxing power hard-wired into the Constitution,
is that provided and relied upon solution. By taking
that action each American would thereby cease
his or her enabling of the Leviathan state, and in doing
so,
present an irresistible lure
to others, even those who know or care nothing about
the perils of the rogue state and its operators, but who
don't want to relinquish wealth to anyone with which
they need not be parting.
That is, individual self-interest-- the
most powerful political force in the universe-- is
inexorably invoked by the liberating truth about the
income tax, and that invocation will yield the
beneficial outcome.
All that is needed to make it all
happen is for a big enough core group of
consciousness-raised Americans to act and be vocal.
Further, independent commentaries, comments to
these newsletter articles, and especially videos
should be flying out from this community all the
time! Remember, people, those defending the evil
status quo are legion, and relentless. Those wanting
them defeated, and their evil scheme and its evil
progeny wiped away, need to be just as much so.
At a minimum, everyone in this
community should be diligently sharing, with
suitable exhortations and persuasions to the
recipient, the special materials I have written for this
purpose. For instance, clicking on the image of Dorothy and Glinda, below, will yield a short .pdf by which
anyone not welded to a government teat will quickly
be inspired and equipped to lend their strength to
climbing out of our suicidal dive, if shared around
with at least a subject line encouraging its
perusal.
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)

Ignorance of the true nature of the "income" tax
has gagged, gutted and seduced-into-disgrace America's
ministerial community. This must change.

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

Hendrickson is also a widely-read essayist on
matters of politics, public policy and law; many of these works
are collected in his second book, �Upholding
the Law And Other Observations�. He is a member of Mensa;
an
award-winning artist; and has paid his dues as a youth
soccer coach. He is a long-time political activist as well, and
has served as co-chair and platform convention delegate of
Michigan�s largest county Libertarian Party organization; as a
consultant to the National Right to Work Foundation and Citizens
for a Sound Economy; as a member of the Heartland Institute; and
as a member of the International Society for Individual
Liberty. He is a frequent radio-show guest on stations across
the country.
Hendrickson's business career has included nearly a
decade-and-a-half at the leading edge of the renewable-energy
industry, both as Director of Purchasing and Materials
Management and member of the R&D board at Starpak Energy
Systems, the mid-west's then-largest solar heating and
energy-recovery-and re-utilization company; and as founder and
president of AFJ Inc., a high-efficiency lighting design,
manufacture and installation firm.
Beginning in the mid-1990s and continuing for the
twelve years before his present full-time focus on the
restoration of the rule of law in America, Hendrickson directed
purchasing activities for the $84 million-a-year
multi-family-housing division of the Farmington Hills, Michigan
branch of Edward Rose and Sons, with responsibility for 18,000+
apartments, direct supervision of 35 technicians and agents, and
incidental authority over several hundred divisional workers.
He also ran the division's 10 cable television earth-station and
distribution systems in four states, and designed and
administered the company's website.
On rather the other end of the spectrum, amidst
these more mundane pursuits Hendrickson co-founded and was the
primary creative force behind a small
board- and
card-game company that enjoyed a modest success for several
years.
Hendrickson makes his home in southeast Michigan,
with his wife and two children. He is currently working on his
next book.
