August 19- In 1919, Afghanistan gains
independence from the United Kingdom. In 1934, Hitler's office as Fϋhrer of
Germany is approved by 89.9% of the electorate. In 1953, the CIA succeeds in
overthrowing the recently elected government of Mohammed Mossadegh in Iran and
re-installing the brutally repressive but more United-States-compliant
dictatorship of Shah Reza Pahlavi. In 1991, Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev
is placed under house arrest by members of his administration attempting to
thwart the collapse of the Soviet Union. In 2005, the first ever joint military
exercise by Russia and China begins. In 2010, a token portion of United States
troops leave Iraq under the pretense that the U.S. was de-occupying the
devastated country and allowing it to resume self-determination. Actually, vast
numbers of United States mercenary and uniformed forces remained in the
conquered country (at least 50,000).

Amidst all the current insanity at home
and abroad, examples of true American heroism are a
welcome balm.
A CORRUPT WARFARE STATE sucks wealth
out of the country with which it kills foreign
victims of other, better-connected foreigners. At
the same time nearly every government official in
every capacity ignores the Constitution, ruinously
exercising despotic powers and lusting for more,
while gaslighting the gullible and steamrolling the
rest.
The worst nightmares of the Founders
and Framers slink and shamble across America, and
almost no one seems to know how to stop them. Except
CtC warriors.
Let's celebrate-- and be uplifted by--
a few such heroes today.
JAROSLAW & EMILIA LAUSZ start us off
with their latest victory on behalf of the rule of
law-- a complete recovery of everything withheld
from them during 2023 and given over to the state of
New York on the erroneous notion that their earnings
qualified as taxable "income", plus interest:
This victory, unencumbered by any tax
agency balkiness or bad behavior, was secured by way
of this
claim.
WELL DONE, Jaroslaw & Emilia!
***
JEREMY LEE shares his latest
victory, also of everything withheld in 2023-- in
this case by the feds, and including Social Security
and Medicare taxes. Not a check this time, but a
credit, diverted to an alleged 9-year-old balance
due:
Here
is the claim by which Jeremy secured this
victory, the inherent admission within which might
serve him well in debunking the allegations on which
that outstanding balance is based-- especially in
light of the Supreme Court's recent reaffirmation of
core legal and historical points in Moore v.
United States,
by
which the "income" tax is shown to be just as CtC
explains it.
WELL DONE, Jeremy!
***
SHELY WRIGHT shares her debut victories
on behalf of the rule of law-- three of them, all
concerning 2023.
...secured by way of
this claim, but only after a challenge by
Virginia demanding a required Form
W-2 (emphasis in
the original). This stern demand was met with a
more courteously-worded but
equally firm response, and one which was,
contrary to the state's, faithful to the law. That
response was enough, and the state threw in the
towel and issued the claimed refund.
WELL DONE, Shely!
***
AND JACQUES & PEGGY BOUDIN share
their latest victory, this one in upholding the law
against the feds, recovering everything withheld
from them during 2023, plus interest, after some
helpful corrective attention by their friendly
neighborhood IRS.
Here is the refund check:
...and
here
is the filing by which this complete refund was
secured, after
this helpful notice from the tax agency, and
this response by Jacques & Peggy. Notably, this
is the second time Jacques & Peggy have been
honorably dealt-with by the IRS-- see their first
such experience posted toward the end of
this page.
WELL DONE, Jacques & Peggy! (And, well
done, IRS!)
***
HATS OFF TO Jaroslaw & Emilia, Jeremy,
Shely, and Jacques & Peggy! 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.
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.

demand. It never did and it never will. Find out
just what any people will quietly submit to and you
have the exact measure of the injustice and wrong
which will be imposed on them, and these will
continue till they have been resisted with either
words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants

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

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."
An article posted yesterday on the website
Responsible Statecraft states “According to
a survey by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs,
only 41% of Americans support the idea of U.S.
troops defending Israel, even if its neighbors
attacked it.”
If that statement were made
in a U.S. District Court, one of the federal
attorneys would undoubtedly stand up and object by
declaring, “Irrelevant and immaterial, your honor!”
There is no doubt that the presiding judge would
sustain the objection. It doesn’t matter one iota
what the American people think about whether the
nation should go to war. The determiner of that
issue is the national-security establishment —
namely, the Pentagon, the CIA, and the NSA. When it
comes to war and foreign interventions, they are the
ones in charge.
Of course, it wasn’t meant
to be that way when the nation was founded. The last
thing the Framers and the American people wanted was
a governmental system in which either the president
or the military made the decision on whether the
nation was going to war. That’s why they included
the declaration-of-war provision in the
Constitution.
The declaration-of war
provision states that it is Congress — i.e., the
elected representatives of the people within the
Senate and the House of Representatives — that
wields the power of deciding whether the nation will
go to war. Thus, while the Constitution vested the
power to wage war within the executive branch, it
vested the power to declare war within the
legislative branch — that is, within Congress.
Without a congressional declaration of war, it is,
therefore, illegal under our form of government for
the president or the military to wage war.
The Constitution is
supposed to be the highest law of the land. It is
supposed to control the actions of federal
officials. Thus, just as they expect us to obey
their laws, no matter how much we might disagree
with them (drug laws come to mind), they are
expected to obey our law of the Constitution.
The Constitution brought
into existence a totally different type of
governmental system than that under which we live
today. It brought into existence what is called a
limited-government republic. It was a type of
governmental system in which the government was not
vested with “inherent” powers. Its powers were
limited to the powers enumerated in the
Constitution.
For more than a century,
there was a relatively small, basic army, which fell
within the executive branch. As part of the federal
government, it was subject to all the restraints and
constraints of the Constitution, including the
declaration-of-war provision. That’s why presidents
had to seek and secure congressional declarations of
war for the Mexican War, the Spanish-American War,
World War I, and World War II.
In the late 1940s, however,
the federal government underwent the most
revolutionary transformation in American history. It
was converted from a limited-government republic to
what is called a national-security state.
The distinguishing
characteristic of this new form of governmental
structure was its overwhelming power within the
federal governmental system — power that was no
longer constrained by the Constitution. Becoming
sovereign and supreme within the federal government,
the national-security state effectively nullified
the Constitution. It was all done without even the
semblance of a constitutional amendment.
Thus, it is no surprise
that there has been any number of wars waged by the
U.S. government since the conversion and that none
of them have involved a congressional declaration of
war. That’s because the national-security
establishment, not the Congress, now wielded the
power to decide whether the nation would go to war.
Today, people continue to
hew to the quaint notion that the vast
military-intelligence establishment still falls
within the executive branch. Pure nonsense. Since
the very beginning of the conversion, the other
three branches — the executive, legislative, and
judicial — understood that things had changed
dramatically in America and that the
national-security establishment had, as a practical
matter, become a separate branch of government— and
the most powerful branch, one that the other three
branches would end up deferring to and supporting.
HORNBERGER DOES A NICE JOB characterizing the impropriety
and problems-- dangers, really-- of the "national security state"
infection that took root in 1947 as just one of the many despicable acts
of the Truman administration. That infection has metastasized over the
years since into the enormous existential threat to America (and perhaps
the rest of the world) that it is today, with official US behavior in
the Middle East on behalf of the foreign state of Israel (the existence
of which is also in large measure a Truman administration project--
see more about
all that here) being a perfect immediate example of that impropriety
and danger.
What is left out of Hornberger's piece
is a solution to the Leviathan "national security"
state, or even a call for resistance. Like many
suffering from what is sometimes called "learned
helplessness" in response to now many decades of
relentless, unanswered assaults on our
Constitutional structure, Hornberger seems unable to
even suggest that the abused American people stand
up and do something about it.
But there IS a solution, as illustrated
by this simple graphic:
As shown, the arising and sustenance of
the Leviathan state monster is a direct result of
the successful misadministration of the US income
tax laws begun primarily in the early 1940s with the
adoption of the Current Tax Payment Act of 1943
amidst the tumult of WWII, and after a couple of
decades of corrupt misrepresentation of the 16th
Amendment's purpose and effect, despite that
misrepresentation being squarely in defiance of
the
history of the amendment and several express Supreme
Court rulings on the subject. Shrinking that
Leviathan state monster merely involves the
reversing of that misadministration-- something that
can be done by individual Americans, acting
one-by-one, with no help or approval of any
government official.
All that is required is some knowledge,
and some courage-- the latter of which naturally
blooms in the hearts of real Americans when given
the nourishment of the former.
CtC provides that knowledge, showing
definitively that the Founders and Framers set this
country up in the foreknowledge of the inevitable
tendency of every state toward centralization,
swollen growth and despotism. Those brilliant and
liberty-loving men baked into the Constitutional
cake all the tools by which individual Americans can
stem or reverse those destructive and despotic
tendencies.
The simplest and most peaceable of
those tools is the power provided to each individual
American to restrict the resources
he or she provides to the ambitious state with which
it would otherwise grow like Topsy and escape its
proper limits. This requires nothing more than a
little education and a little courage, as is
explained
here.
Read that material, and then become an
agent of change. Urge everyone you know to do both
of these things, as well.
Seriously, people. It's time to stop
whistling past the graveyard and start using the
powerful and important tools with which our wise
ancestors equipped us.

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

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)

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.
