A Bit More About Moore

...a so-far insufficiently remarked new weapon in the good-guys' arsenal.

BACK ON THE FIRST OF JULY THIS YEAR, I was very pleased to post a discussion of the Supreme Court's recent ruling in Moore v. United States. As I said about the ruling then, "[T]he Supremes-- for the first time in a long time, and in no uncertain terms-- affirmed a host of key historical and legal points which most of you first learned here, and which together establish beyond doubt or dispute that everything taught in CtC and here at LHC about the legal nature of the income tax is correct."

I expected a lot of discourse to arise within the CtC community in response to that post, particularly oriented toward making practical use of this outstanding contemporaneous admission by the Supremes of what hadn't really been plainly said by the court since the 1930s, and what has been systematically misrepresented by lower courts in tax cases over the last half century on behalf of American governments' self-serving misapplication of tax law. As I also said in that prior discussion, in the Moore ruling the Supreme Court acknowledged key facts sufficient "for any vigorous and studious advocate or litigant to slap down (or upside the head) ongoing agency or judicial abuse, or even, perhaps, prior such abuse."

And yet, what actually resulted was, crickets.

I can't deny being more than a little disappointed. I know that it's been a summer full of major claims for attention, but still...

As everyone reading these words should know, getting the income tax right again nationally will heavily mitigate or even outright eliminate many of the other problems and concerns that make up the bulk of those compelling distractions. Getting the tax right again nationally will drastically shrink the warfare state, the welfare state, the surveillance state, the nanny state, and more.

Everyone really should have managed to stop glaring at trees long enough to turn their attention to the matches with which the whole dark forest could be burned down which have just been put into their hands by a Supreme Court that, frankly, probably didn't recognize the significance of its words while it was just trying to appear scholarly in a very high-profile ruling.

ANYWAY... I was contacted last week by a good warrior who has just been on the receiving end of a federal tax court effort to evade the law. This court, in granting a government motion for summary judgment, had dipped into a well-worn bag of dirty tricks to explain its disregard of our hero's very correct arguments and its embrace of the government's false ones, hauling out and deploying one that the Supreme Court just expressly debunked in its Moore ruling.

I have taken the occasion of this soft-ball setup to start a pebble rolling down the mountainside in hopes that now the rest of the community will see the potential utility of the Moore admissions, get going with them, and help this pebble become an avalanche.

Here is the defective rationale of the tax court judge:

"Mr. ____ offers only frivolous arguments in response to the information in the Commissioner’s documents, arguing that he did not receive “wages” but not disputing he received compensation for services. He also suggests that income tax is an excise tax, it cannot be imposed as a non-apportioned direct tax under the 16th Amendment, and liability only can result in relation to taxable activities. We have addressed these frivolous arguments in Waltner v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 2014- 35, affd, 659 F. App'x 440 (9th Cir. 2016), and we need not address them further. See Crain v. Commissioner, 737 F.2d 1417, 1417 (5th Cir. 1984) (“We perceive no need to refute these arguments with somber reasoning and copious citation of precedent; to do so might suggest that these arguments have some colorable merit.”)."

...and here is what I think Mr. ____ should consider as inspiration for a motion for reconsideration:

Just a few months ago, the United States Supreme Court reiterated its landmark unanimous ruling in Brushaber v. Union Pacific RR Co. upholding in crystal-clear terms exactly what Mr. ____ argued and which this Court dismissed and disparaged as "frivolous":

"The Civil War income tax was recognized as an indirect tax “under the head of excises, duties and imposts.” Brushaber, 240 U. S., at 15; see also Springer v. United States, 102 U. S. 586, 598, 602 (1881)." ... "Therefore, the Sixteenth Amendment expressly confirmed what had been the understanding of the Constitution before Pollock: Taxes on income—including taxes on income from property—are indirect taxes that need not be apportioned. Brushaber, 240 U. S., at 15, 18."

Moore v. United States, 602 U.S. ___ (2024)

Hence, as the USSC just said--once again-- "income tax is an excise tax, it cannot be imposed as a non-apportioned direct tax under the 16th Amendment, and liability only can result in relation to taxable activities." This clearly means that the characterization of these arguments as "frivolous", by this Court, the courts cited in this Court's opinion, and every other court that has sought to evade these arguments in the past in like manner is itself frivolous and invalid, if not outright corrupt, as well.

It also means that the indirect income tax, which is specifically an "excise" on the gainful exercise of privilege, as expressly stated by the USSC in Brushaber 108 years ago and again 3 months ago in Moore-- in that case "an excise tax on the privilege of doing business through a controlled foreign corporation," J. Jackson, concurring opinion-- [litigant, see this for further authorities]-- cannot be construed or applied as an unapportioned capitation (that is, tax on "all that comes in"; on revenue generally; or on commonly-defined wages or other payments or gains [litigant, see this for authorities]).

Instead, the tax can only apply to gains from particular kinds of activities not conducted as matters of right, activities which Mr. ____ has declared himself to have NOT engaged in, and against which sworn declaration Respondent has offered no evidence to the contrary. Respondent relies only on what it means to be taken as the implications from assertions made on a Form W-2 and the fact that money was withheld from Mr. ____, without any independent supporting evidence for those assertions or the propriety of that withholding.

Respondent's reliance is insufficient. Because the tax IS an excise, falling only on gains produced from distinguished activities, the law at 26 USC 6201(d) and 7491(a) flatly requires such supporting evidence [litigant, see this for authorities] in order to so distinguish allegedly taxable activities and gains from unprivileged activities and gains upon which the income excise cannot fall, and for lack of it Respondent's claims, determinations and arguments must all be deemed invalid by the Court.

Now how an actual argument in a motion for reconsideration (or any other pleading in response to the corrupt ploy by the court in Mr. ____'s case or any other) should be formulated and presented will be up to each litigant, of course. As indicated above, what I have offered here is merely inspiration.

But I think what I mean to inspire is clear enough, and I think it should be enough to do a lot of good for the unfortunate handful of educated filers whose legitimate claims are occasionally met with bad behavior by various tax-agencies and complicit judicial officers.

It might even inspire some collaborative work within the community on crafting a means of revisiting past corrupt and invalid rulings from such complicit judicial officers (whose bad behavior can very arguably be deemed an exercise in fraud, for reopening and redress of which there is no expiration).

Maybe even a class action...

That To Secure These Rights...

...recognize these ringing words?...

...GOVERNMENTS ARE INSTITUTED AMONG MEN... Famous words by which the most fundamental principles reflected in the American Declaration of Independence and embodied in the United States Constitution are expressed.

But these words are seldom considered for their meaning and implications, even by the Americans on whose behalf they were written.

Here's the full statement authored by Thomas Jefferson and adopted by the Continental Congress in July of 1776:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. __ That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

Let me first dispose of a few things that might pop into some heads: First, Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness are just a representative sampling of the overall body of rights being spoken of here; government is instituted to secure ALL such rights, not just those listed.

Second, the government that is instituted in order to secure our rights is NOT instituted in order to secure those rights against its own encroachments. Were that the case, that is, were the instituted government expected to be the thing against which our rights needed to be secured, that government would simply never be instituted. It is, remember, instituted solely to secure our rights. No other purpose is articulated, nor does any other purpose make sense.

Further, the governments we institute among ourselves are not only not authorized by their terms of creation to violate our rights, but they are expressly prohibited from doing so, as well (and it is incumbent upon each branch of our instituted governments to police the actions of the others against prohibited encroachments).

Rather, we institute governments among ourselves to secure our rights against encroachments from all other quarters-- that is, from our fellow citizens and from foreign persons and governments (states).

I RAISE THESE POINTS TODAY in response to threats and harms recently committed in foreign lands (or by foreign actors) against Americans for the exercise of their rights.* The government of the United Kingdom, for example, has issued chilling threats against Americans who broadcast images and other content exposing or drawing attention to civil unrest in Britain as a result of certain state policies strongly opposed by many Brits (and some of the harms that have come from these policies), or who share videos or reports of the tyrannical behavior by the UK government toward the protestors.

Similarly, the government of the European Union recently threatened Elon Musk with harm for broadcasting an interview with one of the current American presidential candidates, and the government of Brazil has likewise threatened Musk with harm for failing to censor content on Musk's "X" platform as that government would like him to do.

The government of France has recently arrested Pavel Durov, founder of Telegram, as part of an effort to coerce him into violating the privacy of his billion+ customers (demanding changes in the platform that are the equivalent of installing a government recording device on every park bench, in every living room, or anywhere else two people might have a conversation or exchange material, on the pretense that law enforcement can't effectively function under any other circumstances). Many Americans are among those threatened customers.

And a few weeks ago, Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, took ill-mannered advantage of the opportunity to address the United States Congress, courteously afforded him, to slander and denounce American citizens for exercising their speech rights in ways he finds inconvenient to his policies. Netanyahu called for enhanced encroachments on those rights by American governments and other institutions in the name of combatting "anti-semitism"-- a charge falsely directed at people who are only denouncing policies and practices of the State of Israel, not Jews as such (leaving aside the question of whether even actual expressions of bigotry, however rude and crude and despicable, can properly be suppressed by government...).

However, despite all of the above and more not mentioned here, I have yet to hear of a single occasion in which the United States government has even issued a condemnation of any of these offenses against the Rights of Americans, much less acted in any more concrete way to persuade these rights-violating states to abandon their crimes, or to punish them for committing them, such as by withdrawing privileges, abrogating treaties, and so forth.

WHILE IT IS CERTAINLY TRUE that foreign states can exercise sovereignty within their own jurisdictions, and the United States (and individual state governments) cannot exercise sovereignty within those foreign jurisdictions, it is the primary duty of those American states to do everything that IS within their power to dissuade foreign actors from violating the rights of Americans.

I have already mentioned a few ways in which the federal government can act to secure our rights against foreign encroachments. Others include the expulsion of diplomatic missions, trade restrictions, curtailment of student and worker visas and so forth. Then there is divestiture-- a measure that can be employed by individual state governments as well as by the feds.

All-in-all, the tools by which American governments can meet their obligations to secure our rights are many, and are potent.

These tools should be being used, good and hard, against the growing list of foreign offender governments. Securing our rights against such offenders is, after all, Job One for our governments.

*Violation of the rights of individual Americans by other Americans is an ongoing problem as well, of course, but will be left for another post on another day, although those interested can find some preliminary observations on this subject here.

The Virtual Certainty Of Foreign Interference In The 2024 Elections

...thanks to a decades-long corruption of America's political class.

GEORGE WASHINGTON FAMOUSLY WARNED AMERICA against harboring affections for any foreign state-- even going so far as to disparage actual alliances if for more than the brief duration of hot conflict. Steeped in the wisdom of long experience, and with no personal agenda to promote, Washington used his last address to the American people at the end of his presidency to advise his heirs as to a prudent, productive, and liberty-protective foreign policy.

Washington warned against both affections for other nations and animosity towards other nations (the entire text of his warning can be seen here). For purposes of this article I am going to editorially consolidate and focus solely on the "affection" part:

"Nothing is more essential than that passionate attachments for particular Nations should be excluded; and that, in place of them, just and amicable feelings towards all should be cultivated. The Nation, which indulges towards another an habitual fondness, is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its affection, which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interest.

"A passionate attachment of one Nation for another produces a variety of evils. Sympathy for the favorite Nation, facilitating the illusion of an imaginary common interest, in cases where no real common interest exists, and infusing into one the enmities of the other, betrays the former into a participation in the quarrels and wars of the latter, without adequate inducement or justification. It leads also to concessions to the favorite Nation of privileges denied to others, which is apt doubly to injure the Nation making the concessions; by unnecessarily parting with what ought to have been retained; and by exciting jealousy, ill-will, and a disposition to retaliate, in the parties from whom equal privileges are withheld. And it gives to ambitious, corrupted, or deluded citizens, (who devote themselves to the favorite nation,) facility to betray or sacrifice the interests of their own country, without odium, sometimes even with popularity; gilding, with the appearances of a virtuous sense of obligation, a commendable deference for public opinion, or a laudable zeal for public good, the base or foolish compliances of ambition, corruption, or infatuation."

I need hardly spend the pixels to name Israel as the nation on behalf of which America's political class has subjected the rest of us to the "variety of evils" against which George Washington warns us.

IT IS TRUE THAT BRITAIN shares with us most closely our cultural background, and is viewed with affection by many Americans for that reason. But in practical terms Britain is held in contempt and treated as a U.S. poodle. The same is true of the other Anglophone nations.

Similarly, United States policy toward Saudi Arabia and Egypt can be criticized as overly forgiving. George W. Bush was famously photographed walking hand in hand with Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah in 2005. Donald Trump has been known to go dancing with Abdullah's brethren, and heaps praise upon Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, who seized power in Egypt in a coup overthrowing the popularly-elected government of Mohamed Morsi and featuring the murder of thousands of protestors.

But while some with interests in the benefitting industries self-servingly appreciate Saudi Arabia's arms purchases, and both Saudi Arabia and Egypt are viewed with some favor due to their (often) sotto voce cooperation with (or perhaps, subordination to) Israel, to the leadership of neither are invitations to address Congress extended.

Likewise, to neither Saudi Arabia, nor Egypt-- nor Britain, for that matter-- do most members of Congress make pilgrimages upon taking office, as they do to Israel. On behalf of none of these others are there measures introduced in Congress, with the support of the White House, to punish criticism of their policies and practices. Only Israel is treated to these extraordinary forelock tugs.

INDEED, THE REMARKABLE SLAVISHNESS OF THE US POLITICAL CLASS TOWARD ISRAEL is so lick-spittle and abject that Nancy Pelosi-- while Speaker of the US House of Representatives-- actually said, on camera:

“[I]f this Capitol crumbled to the ground, the one thing that would remain is our commitment to our aid…and I don’t even call it aid…our cooperation with Israel. That’s fundamental to who we are.”

Pelosi is far from alone-- indeed, it is hard to name any national politician of any stature who hasn't said the same or its equivalent, or wouldn't, do so, if put to the question.

For decades, United States foreign policy has been a tool of Israeli interests generally, and the American people have been compelled to sacrifice their own well-being for the well-being of Israelis to the tune of $billions annually.

AS FAR BACK AS 1963, Israel was suspected of secretly developing nuclear weapons, and John Kennedy was demanding access to Israel's Dimona reactor site due to suspicions that it was a secret nuclear-weapons facility, despite Israel denials and the prior presentation of a Potemkin version of the facility to an American inspection team. See here and here.

Not long after these increasingly impatient demands began to escalate Kennedy was conveniently disappeared into the ground. Lyndon Johnson, a fawning, religiously-deluded Israeli sycophant, was elevated to the presidency in Kennedy's place, and the inspection and oversight demands ceased. (In 1986, Israeli nuclear technician Mordecai Vanunu revealed extensive details of his country's nuclear programs and arsenal, including the true history of the Dimona facility. In 2004, Vanunu declared that JFK's assassination was Israel's reaction to Kennedy's pressure to inspect the facility.)

Johnson was not just willing to turn a blind eye to Israeli acquisition and development of weapons of mass destruction. He was such an abject Israeli puppet that he actually assisted in the cover-up of the Israeli murder of 34 American sailors and wounding of 171 more on the USS Liberty while trying to sink that American naval vessel, presumably either to keep the Liberty from reporting on Israeli war crimes in the 1967 war or to blame its sinking on Egypt in order to pull the US into the war on Israel's side.

More to the immediate point, also during Johnson's "watch", American agents of Israel clandestinely secured large amounts of fissile material from American sources under false pretenses and transferred it to the rogue state.

Israeli spies continued to steal materials and knowledge over the subsequent decades (and not just nuclear secrets). During the same period, Israel shared the stolen nuclear technology with its sister apartheid regime in Boer South Africa.

OVER THE LAST 23 YEARS, the betrayal of America in service to Israel by those at the apex of America's political class has dramatically escalated. The costs have extended to tens of thousands of American lives lost and ruined, and to the heavy compromise of the blessings of liberty and rule of law previously-enjoyed by all of us.

Over that last two-decades+, since being equipped with the "new Pearl Harbor" pretext of 9/11, that United States political elite has pursued a policy of destabilizing and in some cases outright destroying Israeli neighbors such as Iraq and Syria whose unmolested presence hindered its expansionist ambitions and resource acquisition. Likewise, the US has helped horrendous dictatorships in Egypt and Saudi Arabia suppress popular democratic impulses which might yield governments less willing to subordinate themselves to Israel than those which they would replace.

Parallel to the severe oppression of the people of Saudi Arabia and Egypt and the outright slaughter and displacement of Iraqis and Syrians (as well as the flattening of infrastructure and irreplaceable antiquities) has been the even more savage assault on the people of Iran in an effort to destroy yet another society which is no natural threat whatever to America but which has been thwarting Israeli ambitions to seize water resources in Southern Lebanon (by its support of Lebanese defenses against those ambitions).

These acute losses have been accompanied by the deep rooting of what will be generations-enduring implacable hatred of America in the hearts and minds of millions whose lives have been ruined by United States actions on behalf of Israeli interests.

NONE OF THE FOREGOING has ever really had anything to do with 9/11, of course. Even if it is believed that Osama bin Laden was behind those events, he was driven from Afghanistan almost immediately in 2001. Iraq was eventually admitted even by George Bush to have had nothing to do with 9/11.

Nor was Syria or Iran ever linked to the events of that day. Indeed, if any such linkage could be proposed, it would be to the Saudis, of which bin Laden was one, as were the majority of the purported hijackers.

Couple all of that with the transparent absurdity and the wealth of contradictory evidence making clear that the "official story" of 9/11 being flogged as the justification for all the subsequent bad behavior by the United States is nonsense on stilts, and it becomes plain that everyone in any important position in the political class has always known full well that 9/11 offers no legitimate justification for any of the purported responses to the event recited above.

9/11 was just a pretext for what has actually been US military (and economic) aggression against Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya (by virtue of the destabilization of which those set up to attack Syria were equipped with arms) and Iran. All these aggressions have benefitted Israel, and all were perpetrated at enormous American expense of blood and treasure.

All of these aggressions amounted to a dramatic escalation of recklessness on the part of the political class in its subjugation to the indefensibly barbaric little apartheid theocracy on the Mediterranean.

THE QUESTION NATURALLY ARISES: What has happened during the last 23 years to change things so dramatically for the worse?

Well...

It turns out that by at least 2009, Israel had co-opted the US National Security Agency into handing over all data collected by the spy agency from 24/7 surveillance of every American-- in raw (that is, unredacted) form. A risible fig-leaf in the form of an Israeli promise to ignore and destroy material concerning American government officials will ease the concerns of only the extraordinarily gullible over what is obviously the acquisition by a foreign interest of the means to directly control American politicians, media moguls and other wielders of power and influence.

So bold a thing as the creation of a written memorialization of this criminal arrangement at that point suggests to me that the same arrangement (or a very similar one) had been in place for quite some time before 2009, as well, but simply on a more clandestine basis. Either way, it is undeniable that for a long portion of the last 23 years-- and during at least many of the bizarre, indefensible betrayals of American interests-- Israel has had access to the short hairs of America's political class and its presstitutes in the MSM (h/t to PCR for that bon mot).

What do you imagine is the likelihood that this treasure-trove of surveillance data has been used by Israel to seize control over (or at the very least, heavily influence) United States foreign and domestic policy? I know I'm a cynic about this sort of thing, but, judging from the evidence in the record, I'd say: "100%".

Indeed, I'd say that if Israel DIDN'T use this handover for exactly this purpose, it would be crazy. That doesn't mean I'm approving of it, of course. I think that the NSA officials who arranged this handover should be prosecuted for treason, and every officeholder of any other sort found to have been controlled by Israel should be, too.

I doubt that'll happen unless the mainstream media takes up this story and makes something of it-- but of course, Israel will have dirt on those folks, too, right?

ANYWAY, LET'S GET TO THE POINT: In light of the foregoing, only the most pedestrian of reasoning is needed to conclude beyond rational doubt that there WILL be foreign interference in the next election-- both before the event and afterwards. The nominating process must be suspect; the flow of significant donor support must be suspect; the selections of appointees and the actual policies to be pursued by winners of elections (as opposed to the rhetoric upon which those winners campaigned) must be suspect.

In the end, then, thanks to the corrupt and treasonous behavior Israel managed to secure from some officials (perhaps through having gotten some dirt by other means to begin with?) the rest of our officials must be presumed compromised.

In practical terms, even if you and I really do control who nominally ends up in office by way of our votes, we will NOT control who wields power afterwards, or how that power is wielded.

Talk amongst yourselves...

"The Nation, which indulges towards another an habitual fondness, is in some degree a slave... [Such attachment] gives to ambitious, corrupted, or deluded citizens, (who devote themselves to the favorite nation,) facility to betray or sacrifice the interests of their own country, without odium, sometimes even with popularity; gilding, with the appearances of a virtuous sense of obligation, a commendable deference for public opinion, or a laudable zeal for public good, the base or foolish compliances of ambition, corruption, or infatuation.""

P.S. Considering the revelations in the article above, don't you think it would be a good idea to defund the state whose reins are really held by a foreign power which does NOT act in the interests of America or Americans? Or, at least, to stop sending YOUR money to where it will actually only fuel a competing interest?

And don't you think other Americans might feel the same way? Maybe you should share the information above, and these thoughts, and this information as well...

P.P.S. I first wrote the article above prior to the 2020 election. All I really had to do for this re-issue is change a few dates, because the problems and offenses described have done nothing but grow worse.

Indeed, right now the capture of the United States government by the Israelis and their useful idiot "Christian Zionists" is as bad as it has ever been. 56% of the American public-- the sovereign American people-- oppose American forces in support for Israel in any conflict in the Middle East. And yet Washington has dispatched 20 or more naval vessels filled with thousands of American men and women into the region to provide just such support.

Plainly, this defiance of the people is the greatest assault on democracy taking place in America today. It-- the sending of troops or providing any support or aid to Israel at all-- is also a violation of the law at 22 U.S.C. §§ 2799aa and 2799aa-1, duly enacted by the people's legislature. Hence, this current defiance of the people is doubly heinous.

But it will go on, until YOU stand up and say "NO!" in a meaningful way, which is by snapping shut your wallet and ending your financing of the law-defying, people-defying rogue Leviathan state, and helping others learn why and how they can and should do the same.

So, again, share the information above, and these thoughts, and this information as well.

Now, do you want this article to make a difference? It only will do so if YOU PASS IT ON TO OTHERS. Please do that.

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.

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 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...

Europe's Plot To Regulate Political Speech In America

by Jonathan Turley

Eighty years ago, the U.S. government launched a war bond campaign featuring a painting by artist Norman Rockwell in the struggle against the authoritarian threat from Europe. The picture they chose was Rockwell’s Freedom of Speech depicting a man rising to speak his mind at a local council meeting in Vermont. The image rallied the nation around what Louis Brandeis called our “indispensable right.”

Now, that very right is again under attack from another European government, which is claiming the right to censor what Americans are allowed to say about politics, science and other subjects. Indeed, the threat from the European Union may succeed in curtailing American freedom to an extent that the Axis powers could not have imagined. They may win, and our leaders have not said a thing yet about it.

In my book “The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage,” I discuss the inspiration for Rockwell’s painting: a young selectman in Vermont named James “Buddy” Edgerton. The descendent of a Revolutionary War hero, Edgerton stood up as the lone dissenter to a plan to build a new schoolhouse over the lack of funding for such construction.

For Rockwell, the scene was a riveting example of how one man in this country can stand alone and be heard despite overwhelming opposition to his views. It was, for Rockwell (and for many of us), the quintessential American moment.

In the 1940s, people like Edgerton had to travel to small board meetings or public spaces to speak their mind. Today, the vast majority of political speech occurs over the Internet and specifically social media. That is why the internet is the single greatest advancement for free speech since the printing press.

It is also the reason governments have spent decades seeking to control speech over the internet, to regulate what people can say or read.

One of the greatest threats to free speech today is the European Digital Services Act. The act bars speech that is viewed as “disinformation” or “incitement.” European Commission Executive Vice President Margrethe Vestager celebrated its passage by declaring that it is “not a slogan anymore, that what is illegal offline should also be seen and dealt with as illegal online. Now it is a real thing. Democracy’s back.”

In Europe, free speech is in free fall. Germany, France, the United Kingdom and other countries have eviscerated free speech by criminalizing speech deemed inciteful or degrading to individuals or groups. The result had made little difference to the neo-Nazi movement in countries like Germany, which is reaching record numbers. It has, however, silenced the rest of society.

According to polling, only 18 percent of Germans feel free to express their opinions in public. Fifty-nine percent of Germans do not even feel free expressing themselves in private among friends. Only 17 percent feel free to express themselves on the internet.

They have silenced the wrong people, but there is now a massive censorship bureaucracy in Europe and the desire to silence opposing voices has become insatiable.

Some in this country have the same taste for speech-regulation. After Elon Musk bought Twitter and dismantled most of the company’s censorship program, many on the left went bonkers. That fury only increased when Musk released the “Twitter files,” confirming the long-denied coordination and support by the government in targeting and suppressing speech.

In response, Hillary Clinton and other Democratic figures turned to Europe and called upon them to use their Digital Services Act to force censorship against Americans.

Afterword

JONATHAN TURLEY DOES A GREAT JOB explaining and denouncing one of the offenses I listed in my article above regarding American governments' duty to intervene against foreign encroachments on our rights. Indeed, between Turley's piece and my earlier commentary, I have little to add here.

There is one thing I'd like to point out, though. It is in part because American governments have become so bloated with pelf, and so distant from the American people with the myriad projects and pretenses made possible with all that pelf, that we have the problem Turley and I address. Attending directly, diligently and dutifully to such simple and mundane matters as defending our rights against tyrannical foreign states with whose interests our own overfed Leviathan state aligns (where a lean, Constitutionally-sized and oriented state would not) has become unnatural to our officials.

Were our American governments starved back down to their proper dimensions, their interests would also revert to their proper objects, as discussed in some detail here, and our rights would be once again at the top of the to-do list, where they belong.

So, while Jonathan Turley proposes a legislative solution to this current assault by the EU on American rights, there is a solution with much broader impact and benefit, 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 multiple 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. As the saying goes, America is the Land of the Free because it is the Home of the Brave.

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.

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..."

Lawyers: It's Way Past Time For You All To Queue Up!

[Y]ou really need to familiarize yourself with Pete Hendrickson's absolutely magnificent work at his website and in his book(s). He has, brilliantly and lucidly, "cracked the code" regarding the federal income EXCISE tax(es)."

-Mark C. Phillips, JD

"...I find your work fascinatingly simple to understand."

-Jerry Arnowitz, JD

"Your book is a masterpiece!"

-Michael Carver, JD

"Received your book yesterday. Started reading at 11 PM, finished at 4 AM." "I have 16 feet (literally 16' 4.5") of documents supporting just about everything in your book." "Your book should be required reading for every lawyer before being admitted to any Bar." "I hope you sell a million of them."

-John O'Neil Green, JD

�Thanks again for your efforts, Pete. They mean an awful lot to a lot of people.� ��as an attorney, I am humbled by your knowledge and ability in navigating the law. THANK YOU for your hard work and sacrifice.�

-Eric Smithers, JD

"I am an attorney and want to give a testimonial to your book, which I find to be compelling. I am exercising these rights for myself and my adult children. I'm even considering making this my new avenue of law practice."

-Nancy "Ana" Garner, JD

Learn what these colleagues already know, then step forward and become part of a coordinated, mutually-supportive squadron focused on developing strategy and deploying the law in courtrooms across the country. There's a lot of suing that needs doing right now.

Are you ready for a challenge that'll put some real meaning behind all the effort you went through to get your credentials? Send me an email.

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")?
