With a heavy heart, I find myself compelled to say:
November 6- In 1861, Jefferson Davis is
elected president of the Confederate States of America. In 1913, Mohandas
Gandhi is arrested in South Africa for leading a march protesting the treatment
of Indian "guest" workers. In 1935, Parker Brothers acquires the rights to
'Monopoly'. In 1962, the UN passes a resolution condemning the South African
practice of apartheid, and calling on member nations to cease military and
economic relations with the country.

BTW, join me on The Shields Report
the first Saturday of every month at 5PM EDT!!
My once ardently-supported candidate
has shockingly revealed himself to be a merely
fair-weather respecter of Americans' rights and a
mindless enthusiast for injustice, oppression and
outright war crimes.
WITH CONSIDERABLE UNHAPPINESS, I have
been compelled to withdraw what had been my ardent
support for Ron DeSantis' campaign for the White
House. DeSantis has reflexively aligned himself with
Israel, even after the onset of its grossly
disproportionate and frankly murderous 'collective
punishment' of Palestinians (half of them children)
as punishment for the violent prison break on
October 7 by a handful of the millions of
Palestinians whose parents and grandparents were
dispossessed of their land 75 years ago and who have
spent their entire lives wasting away in captivity,
squalor, poverty and misery in ghettos like Gaza.
In these behaviors DeSantis shows
himself willing to open his mouth and exercise power
entrusted to him even while appallingly ignorant of
the subject in regard to which he acts (here,
the
history of Israel, both in its formation and its
actions since). He also shows himself to be very
dangerously blind or dismissive in regard to the
very real dangers to Americans (and the rest of the
world) in doing anything but calling for
Israel to shake itself awake and start the painful
process of acknowledging and beginning to undo the
wrongs it has committed against the Palestinians.
IN THAT LATTER REGARD, it is important
to recognize that the dispatch of warships to the
Middle East by the usual neocon nutcases in
Washington (and the enthusiasm for such
irresponsibility by many others, including DeSantis)
is an exhibition of either rank stupidity or
deliberate recklessness in service to private
agenda-- either monetary or ideological-- at the
expense of the American citizenry whose interests
are supposed to be paramount in the minds and hearts
of everyone graced with an office of trust and
honor. Those warships are little more than sitting
ducks waiting for a salvo of
hypersonic missiles to send them and everyone
aboard them to the seafloor as soon as they attempt
to act in support of the Israeli destruction of
Gaza.
In fact, the only plausible real reason
for the dispatch of such ships, which will be of
little or no benefit to Israel in the brief moments
they survive once any kinetic effort is undertaken,
is to provide the neocon nutcases and their moronic
chorus with a few boatloads of bloody shirts to wave
in order to excite the weak-minded among the general
American population into baying for even more
imprudent militarism a la the Maine,
the Lusitania, Pearl Harbor, the Gulf of Tonkin
and 9-11.
I pray that this cynical sacrifice of American
lives, if not avoided by a prompt withdrawal of the
carrier groups involved, fails in its mission.
If the latter-day "Remember the Maine"
ploy does work, and the US does
gets public support for doubling-down upon the
slaughter of those on the carrier strike groups, we
will immediately be subjected to huge jumps in fuel
prices, and hence, in ALL prices. We will also
likely be subjected to attacks by opponents of the
Israeli war crimes we will be supporting who are
among the millions let into the country willy-nilly
by the Biden administration over the last three
years.
At the same time the world, in large
part, will form up into battle lines. The vast
majority will be on the anti-American side, although
in truth, that will likely be irrelevant. As the
conflict metastasizes, the odds are that the
conventionally-overmatched side (Israel and the US)
will go nuclear-- a lunatic choice which will not go
unanswered, and will result in the end of life on
Earth.
Let it not be so.
People like DeSantis, the unhinged
Nikki Haley, and all others plumping for war and
lining up in solidarity with Israeli flattening of
what little the dispossessed Palestinians have been
left with to take a tiny bit of the edge off their
otherwise utterly abject and undeserved misery need
to be loudly denounced and defrocked. Prudent,
well-educated Americans must stand up and replace
them as candidates for office and as voices of
influence.
Prudent, well-educated Americans also
need to vigorously share
this document, by which everyone else can learn
how to shut down the Leviathan state by which we
have all been victimized for all our lives, and
which now threatens to cut those lives short.
P.S. As disappointed as I am with Ron
DeSantus I will admit to be willing to consider
reconsideration, should the governor, who in most
other respects has shown himself to be an
outstanding office-holder, come to his senses.
Should DeSantis renounce his ill-chosen path on this
matter, become a loud voice for the embrace of
George Washington's wise warning against
"permanent, inveterate antipathies against
particular Nations, and passionate attachments for
others", and throw himself on the mercy of the
offended electorate, I think he would find his
struggling candidacy fortified with an enormous
burst of energy as he gains the sudden enthusiastic
support of the huge number of regular Americans (a
strong majority, I suspect) who have long been sick
and tired of Washington DC's slavish, lapdog
devotion to Israel.
***
Now, a few more observations in
the same vein, but of less moment...
I AM STRUCK BY THE NAIVETE of those
uncritically taking in claims that Israeli bombing
of Gaza is "targeted" on Hamas emplacements or
personnel. These claims are made by the same folks
who are apparently so lacking in knowledge of Hamas
and its movements as to have been utterly surprised
by the largish-scale breach of the Gaza prison walls
and other aspects of the outbreak on October 7-- an
outbreak clearly planned and prepared-for over many
months, if not a full year or more.
The proposition that the Israelis
suddenly know not only the identities but even the
day-to-day locations of every Hamas leader so as to
be able to precision target such persons with
airstrikes that-- just by unfortunate and
unavoidable coincidence, we are told, also cause
what might be seen by those wanting a "final
solution" to "the Palestinian problem" as convenient
massive "collateral damage" and infrastructure
destruction-- is worse than ludicrous. It is, in
fact, evilly cynical and contemptuous mendacity of
the blackest sort.
***
SO, ONE HAS TO WONDER how much
conditioned enthusiasm and invested interest in the
abandonment of so-called "fossil-fuel" use in favor
of the electric vehicle will encourage an
accepting attitude (or even advocacy) for war in the
Middle East. After all, as noted above, one guaranteed side effect
of such a war will be a giant boost in the price of
oil.
***
ISN'T THE ASCRIPTION OF "ANTISEMITISM"
as the motive for Palestinian (and other) hostility
toward Israeli crimes just as lame as the absurd Bush-era
version:
"they hate
us for our freedoms", and just as much a
propagandistic contrivance? Will it go unchallenged
until the damage it is meant to facilitate is
accomplished, just as happened in Bush's "war on
terror"?
Or will we dig in our heels and insist
on reality, truthful words, and all the consequences
of facing the facts, regardless of whose oxen are
thereby gored?
***
I CAN'T HELP BUT OBSERVE THE ROLE OF
HARRY TRUMAN in all of this-- a man with a history
of disastrous decisions.
It was the Missouri haberdasher who
fastened upon us the CIA, the NSA, the "state
secrets privilege", the "police action" ploy, and
the shameful distinction of being the first (and, so far,
only) country to ever vaporize people with nuclear
weapons (and entirely civilian victims, to
boot), when he could have accepted the Japanese
offer of surrender, or continued the massive but
conventional bombing of Tokyo, or simply had a
high-ranking Japanese official observe a nuclear
detonation in the desert or the ocean.
(To be fair, Truman isn't solely
responsible for the ensconcement of the state of
Israel on Palestinian land. Britain's Arthur Balfour
is the one who came up with the arrogant and idiotic
notion of taking the gifted land from within an
already-inhabited territory. One has to wonder and
despair that he didn't he pick harmlessly empty land
somewhere, or land from within his own country...)
Finally,
ABSENT FROM WESTERN MEDIA REPORTING on
the October 7 attack by Hamas and its aftermath are
stories
like this one of the gratuitous ongoing offense
against Muslim sensibilities in Jerusalem, which
escalated three days prior to the perhaps not
coincidentally-following Hamas attack. Nor is the
long-standing Israeli practice of "mowing
the lawn" ever brought up, or the fact that
Hamas itself was deliberately created by Israel.
And, of course,
the
detailed history of Israel's original appearance in
Palestine and its behavior subsequently is never
presented by the MSM (or by most alt-media outlets,
either). Instead, we get endless propaganda and the
pretense that relevant history and context only
began accumulating on October 7, 2023-- just as in
any managed narrative spun by those serving special
interests.
How tedious.

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.

"In a time of
universal deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary
act."
The US-centralized empire
is a giant network of allies, partners and assets
spanning the entire globe. Many of the nations in
this network, such as Israel, have strong ideologies
and values systems that the empire must cooperate
with to obtain their loyalty. But the empire itself
has no ideology or values-- it values nothing but
planetary domination. The empire’s motives are no
more ideological than the motives of a mugger are
ideological.
So the empire has no
ideology, but it is held together by cooperation
with individual governments who do. The problem this
creates is that sometimes the ideologies of those
states cause them to do things that go against the
interests of the empire as a whole. Israel can just
up and decide to commit a genocidal massacre in
front of everyone. Saudi Arabia can decide it’s
going to dismember a Washington Post reporter with a
bone saw. Proxies in Ukraine can keep saying Nazi
things and sporting Nazi insignia in public. They do
these things because unlike the top brass in the
imperial power structure they are guided by
ideology, with no regard for the need to preserve
the empire’s image as a “rules-based international
order”.
This often creates a PR
crisis for the empire, because the public will cease
consenting to the network of alliances, partners and
assets if it becomes sufficiently aware of the
depravity needed to hold it all together. This is
typically easy to resolve because the US empire has
the most sophisticated propaganda machine in the
history of civilization, but that propaganda machine
is operated by individuals-- individuals who may
have learned about Palestinian rights at university,
or who were disgusted about the way their employer
ran cover for Israel’s murder of Shireen Abu Akleh
only to find out Israel did it and was lying. So
they don’t always play along with the imperial
machine in their reporting, thereby exacerbating the
empire’s PR crisis.
The worst thing that could
possibly happen, from the empire’s point of view, is
for the public to start opening their eyes to its
criminality. With Israel on a genocidal rampage as
pro-Palestinian protesters flood the streets
worldwide, we may be certain that the manipulators
who are responsible for imperial perception
management are in full crisis mode, because if a
critical mass of people can pick apart this one lie,
it opens up the possibility of their unplugging
themselves from the whole propaganda matrix that
keeps the empire operational.
The empire managers are
standing by Israel’s side and doing everything they
can to pretend its actions are right and just, but
they are fidgeting uncomfortably, and behind the
scenes we may be sure they’re in total damage
control. That’s why we’re being slammed with such a
mad deluge of propaganda right now, and that’s why
they’re doing everything they can to censor and
suppress and shut down voices who are critical of
Israel’s actions in Gaza.
❖
“Hey what do you do for a
living Caitlin?”
“Oh these days I mostly
accidentally look at footage of dead Palestinian
kids on my social media feed and cry and get called
an anti-semite.”
❖
If you didn’t already know
that Israel apologists use false accusations of
anti-semitism to shut down criticism of Israel, you
should know it now. When they’re trying to tell
you Greta Thunberg is a closet Nazi sending out
obscure Nazi dogwhistles, it’s right there in your
face.
CAITLIN JOHNSTONE is right. The hegemonic US machine is
both an embarrassment and a material threat to all normal Americans, who
just want to live their lives peacefully and prosperously, without
ruling or ruining anyone else.
We want sound money, impartial justice,
and the rule of law under our Constitutions, as we
have adopted them and as we mean them to be
understood. We neither want nor need an empire
spanning the globe, or client states for whose bad
behaviors we will be held responsible by their
victims (and by our creator).
Sorting things out in line with these
sentiments is on us, of course. Happily, doing so is
relatively easy, requiring nothing more than a
little education and a little courage. All of this
is explained
here.
Read those docs, and then become an
agent of change. Urge everyone you know to do so, as
well.
Likewise, urge everyone you know to
read CtC (online and free!), and stand up to save
themselves and the country from the widespread
corruption to which we have all fallen prey over the
last 80 years.
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)

In 1967, Carl Stokes becomes the first black mayor of a major American city,
winning that post in Cleveland, Ohio. In 1967, the Corporation for Public

Nixon's veto of the 'War Powers Resolution', which limits the president's power
to conduct military activities without congressional approval. In 1983 a bomb
is detonated in the U.S. Senate in protest over United States military
adventures in Grenada and Lebanon. In 1989, Virginian Douglas Wilder becomes

eventual declaration of George W. Bush as the President of the United States
takes place.

this boondoggle was abandoned, and the Roosevelt central planners moved on to

Hey, Gamers!
WAKEN TO THE REAL-LIFE ADVENTURE IN WHICH YOU
ARE UNKNOWINGLY IMMERSED! Put down your controller and
listen!
You are surrounded by an actual battle between
villains, monsters and true heroes, all simply concealed
from you by
sophisticated spells which also keep you from
engaging in the fight.
There are real great deeds to be done,
and real treasures to be had for your efforts, and
frankly, your real future
is at stake. You just have to gain "the sight" in order to
penetrate the illusions.
Visit
losthorizons.com to get the counter-spells and get onto
the real field of battle!

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...

Illuminating Anniversaries of this week:
November 9- In 1620, Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower have their
first sight of the New World. In 1688, William of Orange captures Exeter, a
major step forward in the course of the 'Glorious Revolution'. In 1872, a fire
breaks out in Boston which goes on to consume 776 buildings over the next twelve
hours. Unhindered by FEMA, the citizens quickly rebuild. In 1906, Theodore
Roosevelt takes the first official trip outside the USA of any sitting president
(he travels to Panama to inspect progress on the Canal). In 1918, the German
Revolution forces the abdication of Kaiser Wilhelm II and declares a republic
(ultimately, the Weimar Republic). In 1938, 'Kristallnacht'-- a Nazi rampage
against Germany's by-then-largely-disarmed Jewish population begins. In 1965,
Roger Allen LaPorte sets himself on fire in front of the United Nations building
in protest of the Vietnam war. In 1970, the U.S. Supreme Court refuses to hear
a suit by Massachusetts against the U.S. Secretary of Defense over the drafting
of citizens for service in an undeclared war (Vietnam). In 1989, East Germany
abandons efforts to prevent crossings into West Berlin.
If you're not talking this one up everywhere and
helping generate a buzz, you don't really want liberty and the
rule of law...

In light of
the actual evidence, those
who doubt or
deny the accuracy and correctness of
CtC just because some government officials
denounce it are like the 16th-century Europeans who
were mystified by
Copernicus getting all those
astronomical predictions right even though the
church had said he was wrong.

Did you miss the 'Set Your Church Free'
commentaries?
Ignorance of the true nature of the "income" tax
has gagged, gutted and seduced-into-disgrace America's
ministerial community. This must change.

You're a
passenger on a riverboat that relies on regular
contributions of fuel from the passengers to
keep moving forward. You see an unsurvivable
waterfall ahead, and note a
soon-to-be-irresistible current growing stronger
each day. What does common sense suggest?

does go on to testify against some associates before the House
Un-American Activities Committee. In 1969, 'Sesame Street' debuts.

"Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a
people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power
which knowledge gives."
"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."

Illuminating Anniversaries of this week:
November 12- In 1912, the frozen bodies
of the Scott expedition are found on the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica. In 1981,
the space shuttle Columbia becomes the first spacecraft to be launched twice.
In 1990, Tim Berners-Lee publishes the design of what becomes the World Wide
Web. In 2006, South Ossetia holds its second referendum to validate its 1991
declaration of independence from Georgia (the first one in 1992 having gone
unrecognized by the international community). 95% of ethnic South Ossetians
participated (66.2% of the population), and the vote was 99% in favor of
independence. The vote was monitored by observers from Germany, Austria,
Poland, Sweden and several other countries. Nonetheless, most Western
governments refuse to recognize this second affirmation of the will of the
people either, in part because the government of Georgia refuses to do so.

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.
