One Moore Try...

...because, still, folks don't seem to be grasping what I've been trying to make clear about this ruling.

FOUR MONTHS AGO, the United States Supreme Court issued the most significant statement about the income tax it has made in 108 years. This statement revealed-- and slapped down-- false declarations about the nature of the income tax made for decades now by lower courts, government lawyers and the IRS. Those false declarations assert that the tax is a capitation (a type of direct tax) which has been relieved of the apportionment requirement imposed on such taxes by Article 1, sec. 2, cl. 3 and sec. 9, cl. 4.

This false doctrine about the tax, which has been the basis for countless misapplications of both the tax directly and of penalties associated with the income tax, was supported by-- indeed, rested entirely on-- a contrived misreading of the landmark, unanimous ruling on the meaning and effect of the Sixteenth Amendment by the Supreme Court in Brushaber v. Union Pacific RR. Co. 240 US 1 (1916). That contrived misreading holds that the ruling says exactly the opposite of what it actually does.

LET ME SAY THIS AGAIN: For the last 80 years or so, federal and state tax agencies, tax courts, district courts and appellate courts have systematically misapplied (and misenforced) the income tax based on a completely false reading of tax law, which the US Supreme Court just corrected-- unanimously and unambiguously-- this past June in its ruling in Moore v. United States. Is this clear enough?

Champagne corks should have popped all across the nation.

At the least, those corks should have popped in every household in which the true nature of the tax is known-- which is to say, in every household to which these newsletters find their way.

While many other households were watching the Moore case intently just out of interest in the controversy over the application of the tax to what the Moores argued to be untaxable gains from their foreign corporation, and were disappointed in the Supreme Court's upholding of that application, the CtC-educated community should have focused entirely on the statements by every member of the court-- both in the majority opinion and in concurring opinions and dissents-- correcting the false "direct non-apportioned tax" doctrine.

That correction, after all, makes the question of whether the tax can be applied to gains not yet realized as cash entirely irrelevant to most people, since it puts into focus the far more important question of whether any given gains are income-tax-relevant at all, whether realized as cash or not. Further, that false-doctrine-correction extends this far more important and utterly fundamental question across the entire spectrum of income tax applications, from the most mundane to the most exotic.

And yet, somehow this earth-shaking fact is going unremarked, even despite my having now devoted three lead newsletter articles to the Moore bombshell.

PERHAPS THIS DISREGARD is a matter of the many distractions attendant upon a divisive campaign season, the ongoing genocide in Palestine and the massacres now being committed in Lebanon, as well, the Ukraine debacle, and the ever-greater danger of a life-ending World War III as a very possible outcome of the United States fanning the flames in both regions.

Kinda valid, I get it...

But in light of the fact that it is the systematic misapplication of the income tax over lo, these many decades that has enabled the bad behavior underlying all those distractions:

...that restoring the lawful application of the tax is the key to ending them:

...and that a failure to end them risks the death of us all:

...I think the wise will pull their eyes from the distracting threats and devote their attention to the solution which has just been handed to us all in a once-in-a-lifetime event possibly even deliberately offered by a court which is itself conscious of the monster its long-standing toleration of lower-court error has nurtured and which now threatens to consume us all.

SO, TO RECAP: For eight decades, government attorneys and lower court judges have been lying about what the unanimous Brushaber ruling from 1916 establishes as true about the meaning and effect of the 16th Amendment and the about the legal nature of the income tax. Those servants of the revenue-hungry state have falsely claimed that Brushaber rules the tax to be a non-apportioned direct tax.

This false claim has enabled tax agencies to apply the tax as a capitation generally, through the exploitation of victims ignorant of the truth. It has also been used by the courts to disregard all the provisions in the law which inconveniently contradict such applications of the tax, and which reflect the legislators' accurate understanding of the tax-- such as those requiring the government to prove that activities to which the tax is being applied are actually excise-taxable, distinguished activities-- whenever the matter has been litigated by people aware of the truth.

The Supreme Court has just issued a big, "NO!" to that long-standing, pernicious false claim about Brushaber and the nature of the tax.

This is a hugely-important thing.

Read the detailed discussion of all this in the article below-- perhaps, with the help of the foregoing, more usefully this time than was possible when I first posted it two weeks ago.

Back Again To Moore

...because folks don't seem to be grasping what I've been trying to make clear about this ruling.

ON AUGUST 15, 2024, A TAX COURT JUDGE, Ronald L. Buch, ruled against a student of my book, 'Cracking the Code- The Fascinating Truth About Taxation In America' (CtC) in a litigation over an IRS Notice of Deficiency. CtC is the book in which I reveal the long-hidden truth about the legal nature of the income tax. I also explain in CtC how the tax has been successfully misapplied on a massive scale for decades; what victims of the scheme can do to make things right; and why all of this is so important to the health of our now-deeply-wounded Constitutional republic.

Buch made his ruling, in part, with the following language summarizing the student's key contentions and then archly dismissing them out of hand:

"Mr. ____ offers only frivolous arguments in response to the information in the Commissioner’s documents, arguing ... that [sic] 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.”)."

This language, and the snarky dismissals of the argument that the income tax is an excise, rather than a non-apportioned direct tax, and can only fall upon a distinguished class of taxable activities, is in harmony with not only the cases cited by the tax court, but many other lower court rulings over the last several decades, such as these:

“[T]he income tax is a direct tax,... See Brushaber v. Union Pacific Railroad Co., 240 U.S. 1, 19, 36 S.Ct. 236, 242, 60 L.Ed. 493 (1916) (the purpose of the Sixteenth Amendment was to take the income tax "out of the class of excises, duties and imposts and place it in the class of direct taxes").”

United States v. Francisco, 614 F.2d 617, 619 (8th Cir. 1980)

...and:

“The Supreme Court promptly determined in Brushaber v. Union Pacific Ry. Co., 240 U.S. 1, 36 S.Ct. 236, 60 L.Ed. 493 (1916), that the sixteenth amendment provided the needed constitutional basis for the imposition of a direct non-apportioned income tax.”

Parker v. Comm'r, 724 F.2d 469 (5th Cir. 1984)

For decades the IRS has published and distributed in hard copy and, more recently, maintained on websites, the same claims about the Brushaber decision, and the nature of the income tax, as those shown above. For instance (fifth entry on this page):

Contention: The Sixteenth Amendment does not authorize a direct non-apportioned federal income tax on United States citizens.

Some assert that the Sixteenth Amendment does not authorize a direct non-apportioned income tax and thus, U.S. citizens and residents are not subject to federal income tax laws.

The Law:

The courts have both implicitly and explicitly recognized that the Sixteenth Amendment authorizes a non-apportioned direct income tax on United States citizens and that the federal tax laws as applied are valid. In United States v. Collins, 920 F.2d 619, 629 (10th Cir. 1990), cert. denied, 500 U.S. 920 (1991), the court cited Brushaber v. Union Pac. R.R., 240 U.S. 1, 12-19 (1916), and noted that the U.S. Supreme Court has recognized that the "Sixteenth Amendment authorizes a direct nonapportioned tax upon United States citizens throughout the nation."

All pretty grim for that student of CtC and his "tax is an (indirect) excise which can't be imposed as a non-apportioned direct tax under the 16th Amendment, and liability can only result in relation to taxable activities" argument, right?

Well, no, not really.

Three months ago, as though quoting CtC itself in every particular, the US Supreme Court unanimously declared that,

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).

In 1895, however, in Pollock v. Farmers’ Loan & Trust Co., this Court held that a tax on income from property equated to a tax on the property itself, and thus was a direct tax that had to be apportioned among the States. 158 U. S. 601, 627–628. The Pollock decision sparked significant confusion and controversy throughout the United States.

Congress and the States responded to Pollock by approving a new constitutional amendment. Ratified in 1913, the Sixteenth Amendment rejected Pollock’s conflation of (i) income from property and (ii) the property itself. The Amendment provides: “The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.” U. S. Const., Amdt. 16 (emphasis added).

Therefore, the Sixteenth Amendment expressly confirmed what had been the understanding of the Constitution before Pollock: Taxes on income ... are indirect taxes that need not be apportioned. Brushaber, 240 U. S., at 15, 18.

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

The excerpt above is from the majority opinion; the concurring opinions and even the dissenting opinions in the case all echo this declaration. J. Jackson's concurring opinion goes a bit further, expressly describing the tax as applied in the case as "an excise tax on the privilege of doing business through a controlled foreign corporation".

Jackson's addition puts a finer point on the Moore court's acknowledgements, underscoring that because the tax is an indirect excise it cannot be a capitation, which is a tax on all that comes in (or some portion thereof) simply because it comes in, and is expressly in the category of direct taxes. (Click on the link and learn the meaning of this often misunderstood term.)

Further, because the tax cannot be a capitation, and therefore can only fall on distinguished, special varieties of "what comes in", and because it is an excise tax (as the Brushaber court also holds expressly), it is necessarily and inescapably a tax on the specialized category of gainful, privileged activities (measured by the dollar value of the gains therefrom), because an excise tax IS a privilege tax. (Click on the link and learn the meaning of this often misunderstood term.)

Following from these two facets of the Moore-affirmed nature of the tax is the fact that in order for the government to validly establish tax liability (in the face of a properly-made dispute thereof) it must show that any gains by which it proposes to measure such a liability are the product of qualifying privileged activity. (That requirement is expressly specified in tax law, but has been routinely ignored by courts in denial about the excise-character of the tax.)

ALL-IN-ALL, THE DECLARATIONS IN MOORE are rather strikingly different from the assertions of all the lower courts (and the IRS) cited above, and especially that obnoxiously snarky one made in the ruling against that CtC-educated filer with which we began, right? In fact, the Moore court unanimously says exactly the opposite of what those lower courts have said-- while being exactly what CtC has told you is the case, in every particular, since way back in 2003.

The fact is, rather than operate from their own research-- even when presented with chapter and verse by a disfavored litigant-- those lower courts have relied upon government-serving wrongly-decided prior lower court decisions. Such decisions form an ever-more massive chain that began with one long-ago case, apparently badly briefed, and argued before a corrupt judge and against a corrupt DOJ lawyer-- very possibly with the deliberate connivance of all parties involved-- and which was never appealed for correction.

That first case was then cited in the next case involving an ill-prepared litigant against the government, with the bad decision echoed and then perhaps affirmed in a circuit court. Those outcomes will have been widely published into the legal community of the day (by then some years removed from the Brushaber decision, which is, sad to say, written by a Chief Justice White who was fond of 100-word sentences and circuitous reasoning sure to discourage impulses to verify) and will quickly have become the reigning precedent.

And yet it is, and always has been-- as the Moore decision now re-instructs the country-- a steaming pile.

SO, TO SUM UP, THE SUPREME COURT just unanimously bitch-slapped every tax court judge who has ever made an adverse ruling against an educated filer or claimant in defiance of the FACT that the income tax is an excise and cannot lawfully be applied as any kind of non-apportioned direct tax, and the FACT that in order to sustain an asserted tax against a filer who has disputed it on his or her return in a consistent and appropriate manner, as explained in CtC, the tax-hungry government has to prove that the activities which produced the targeted gains were actually of the special variety liable to the tax.

Likewise, the Supreme Court has bitch-slapped every federal district court which has acted as described above, and every appellate court that has sustained any such ruling or any Tax Court ruling of that sort. Again, likewise, the Supreme Court has bitch-slapped any tax agency assertion that such educated filings qualify for "frivolous return" penalties.

Any and all of the adverse judicial (or agency) determinations described are manifestly fraudulent and abusive, the product of raw corruption.

Remember, what the Supreme Court has just said in Moore is only a re-iteration of long-in-the-books black-letter law. That long-in-the-books, black-letter law is knowable to anyone who went to the trouble of looking, as I proved 21 years ago by going to that trouble and publishing it all in CtC.

It is especially knowable and, in fact, is KNOWN by any jurist or agency officer to whom the information from CtC has been presented as a brief or in any other way. But many of these judges, who had been left to their own devices and had been unable to be schooled by a freshly-minted re-iteration of the law such as that now offered up by the Moore court, have been perfectly happy to behave badly, nonetheless.

IN MY OWN 2009 "trial" on accusations of not believing what I wrote 21 years ago in CtC, and which the Supreme Court just re-iterated in Moore, the outrageously corrupt judge, Gerald Rosen, upon hearing me articulate my conclusions about the nature of the tax and cite to the authorities on which they are based, actually announced with a smirk of disdain to my jury that he, lawyer and judge and graduate of law school, had never heard any such things.

(And the judge did so just prior to refusing a juror request to see the actual words of statutes relevant to the case, and to which I had referred in testimony. He then proceeded to give the jury prosecution-written substitutes for that statutory language, from which the acknowledgements of the excise-nature of the tax, which had been built to the statutory language in by the legislature, had been removed and replaced with false language presenting the tax as a non-apportioned capitation.)

It gets uglier still. The nonsense relied upon by lower courts in tax cases over the years-- even most cases involving CtC-educated Americans-- involves misrepresenting the Brushaber decision as treating the income tax as a non-apportioned direct tax rather than an excise. Still, some, or even most of the judges in these cases, may actually not know any better and may have simply relied on the precedents presented to them in government briefs (while less forgivably ignoring the briefing by the private citizen litigant).

But the judge initially cooperating with the corrupt government efforts to suppress CtC by attacking me (and my wife, too, eventually)-- Nancy Edmunds-- did know the truth, or had every reason to, while proceeding against us anyway.

This is evidenced by Edmund's deliberate mischaracterization of CtC as arguing that only government workers are subject to the tax. She treated that falsely-ascripted argument as the problem with the book, rather than disputing and denouncing what the book really says-- and which the Moore court has just affirmed.

Edmund's only possible defense, it seems to me, is that she simply, and improperly, took the word of the corrupt DOJ operative who wrote that false-ascription, which she then signed, despite it having been categorically disputed and denounced under oath; despite her having never held a single hearing in the case before issuing her ruling; and despite, as she was later compelled to admit, never having even read CtC.

HAPPILY, OF COURSE, AND ALL THE FOREGOING NOTWITHSTANDING, most students of CtC-- even though operating in this troubled, pre-Moore environment-- have seemingly dealt with tax agency personnel who DO know the truth. This has been steadily shown over the last two decades+ by way of the endless river of refunds flowing out of state tax agencies and the IRS and into the mailboxes and bank accounts of CtC-educated filers and claimants.

But out of the hundreds of thousands of unmolested victors, some educated filers have been harmed. Mostly this harm has been modest in its practical effects, such as diversion of acknowledged refunds owed back to the filer being diverted against a pretended "frivolous return penalty" for another filing (or even, sometimes, the same filing by which the refund was secured!). Again, the practical harm in such cases is light, but the crime is heinous nonetheless, involving as it does a deep violation of the public trust, and being purely and high-handedly abusive of its victims.

A handful have faced worse still, being accused of filing forms they did not believe to be true.

I urge every victim of any of these crimes to seek redress. Every victim should find competent legal assistance (and share with counsel the voluminous tools available here), or use those tools themselves and go solo.

FURTHER, EVERYONE, WITH A LEGAL GRIEVANCE OR NOT, should consider how clear it lately is that the Leviathan state has crossed the threshold into being a serious, imminent threat to their well-being and that of those they love-- with no recourse available through institutional checks. Starving the beast is the only peaceful remedy remaining, and that can only be practically done through individual action making use of CtC's information and inspiration (see this for more on that).

The Moore opinions have made deployment of that remedy much smoother for the educated American, and much more easily encouraged among others-- even people who would previously never have dreamt of standing so tall and saying, "NO!" so effectively.

All told, for political purposes as well as for legal redress, Moore is a rare penetration of bright sunlight through the fog usually maintained with great care around the subject of the tax by a government that has grown fat and dangerous on its too-rarely-challenged misrepresentations. It needs to be used, and right now, while it is still fresh.

Seriously, my friends. Like every window of opportunity, this one will only be open to its fullest extent for a little while.

Don't miss it.

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.

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...

Other Voices (followed by an important afterword)

From September 11 to October 7: The Fake 'War on Terror' Collapses

For years, the US executed Israel’s regional destabilization program using phantom terrorists as justification for the ‘War on Terror.’ But 7 October 2023 killed Washington’s never-ending war project – with a flip of the switch, US adversaries have now turned the ‘Long War’ on Israel.

by Pepe Escobar

Colonization … is the best affair of business in which the capital of an old and wealthy country can engage … the same rules of international morality do not apply … between civilized nations and barbarians.

– John Stuart Mill, quoted by Eileen Sullivan in “Liberalism and Imperialism: JS Mill’s Defense of the British Empire,” Journal of the History of Ideas, vol. 44, 1983.

The events of 11 September 2001 were intended to impose and enshrine a new Exceptionalist paradigm on the young 21st century. History, though, ruled otherwise.

Cast as an attack on the US Homeland, 11 September 2001, immediately generated the Global War on Terror (GWOT), launched at 11 pm on the same day. Initially christened “The Long War” by the Pentagon, the term was later sanitized by the administration of Barack Obama as “Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO).”

The US-manufactured War on Terror spent a notoriously un-trackable eight trillion dollars defeating a phantom enemy, killed over half a million people – overwhelmingly Muslims – and branched out into illegal wars against seven Muslim-majority states. All of this was relentlessly justified on “humanitarian grounds” and allegedly supported by the “international community” – before that term, too, was renamed as the “rules-based international order.”

Cui Bono? (who stands to gain) remains the paramount question related to all matters related to 11 September 2001. A tight network of fervently Israel-first neocons strategically positioned across the defense and national security establishments by Vice President Dick Cheney – who had served as secretary of defense in the administration of George W Bush’s father – sprang into action to impose the long-planned agenda of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC). That far-reaching agenda had waited in the wings for the right trigger – a “new Pearl Harbor” – to justify a slew of regime-change operations and wars across much of West Asia and other Muslim states, reshaping global geopolitics for the benefit of Israel.

US General Wesley Clark’s notorious revelation of a secret Cheney regime plot to destroy seven major Islamic countries over five years, from Iraq, Syria, and Libya all the way to Iran, showed us that the planning had already been done in advance. These targeted nations had one thing in common: they were resolute enemies of the occupation state and firm supporters of Palestinian rights.

The sweet deal, from Tel Aviv’s perspective, was that the War on Terror would have the US and its western allies fighting all these serial Israeli-profiting wars on behalf of “civilization” and against the “barbarians.” The Israelis couldn’t have been more happy or smug about the direction this was going.

It’s no wonder that 7 October 2023 is a mirror image of 11 September 2001. The occupation state itself advertised this as Israel’s own “11 September.” Parallels abound in more ways than one, but certainly not in the way Israel-firsters and the cabal of extremists leading Tel Aviv expected.

Syria: the turning point

The western Hegemon excels in constructing narratives and is currently wallowing in the Russophobia, Iranophobia, and Sinophobia swamps of its own creation. Discrediting official, immutable narratives, such as the one about 11 September, remains the ultimate taboo.

But a false narrative construct cannot hold out forever. Three years ago, on the 20th anniversary of the Twin Towers collapsing and the onset of the War on Terror, we witnessed a great unraveling in the intersection of Central and South Asia: the Taliban were back in power, celebrating their victory over the Hegemon in a discombobulated Forever War.

By then, the “seven countries in five years” obsession – aiming to forge a “New Middle East” – was being derailed across the spectrum. Syria was the turning point, though some would argue that the tea leaves were already cast when the Lebanese resistance defeated Israel in 2000, then again in 2006.

But smashing independent Syria would have paved the way for the Hegemon – and Israel’s – Holy Grail: regime change in Iran.

US occupation forces entered Syria in late 2014 under the pretext of fighting “terror.” That was Obama’s OCO in action. In reality, though, Washington was using two key terror outfits – Daesh, aka ISIL, aka ISIS, and Al Qaeda, aka Jabhat al-Nusra, aka Hayat Tahrir al-Sham – to try to destroy Damascus.

That was conclusively proved by a declassified 2012 US Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) document, later confirmed by General Michael Flynn, the DIA’s chief when the assessment was written: “I think it was a willful decision [by the Obama administration]” when it comes to helping, not fighting, terror.

ISIS was conceived to fight both the Iraqi and Syrian armies. The terror group was an offspring of Al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI), then renamed Islamic State in Iraq (ISI), then rebranded as ISIL, and finally ISIS, after it crossed the Syrian border in 2012.

The crucial point is that both ISIS and Nusra Front (later Hayat Tahrir al-Sham) were hardcore Salafi-jihadi Al-Qaeda offshoots.

Russia entering the Syrian theater at Damascus’ invitation in September 2015 was the real game-changer. Russian President Vladimir Putin decided to actually engage in a real war on terror in Syrian territory before that terror reached the Russian Federation’s borders. This was captured by the standard formulation in Moscow at the time: the distance from Aleppo to Grozny is only 900 kilometers.

The Russians, after all, had already been subjected to the same brand and modus operandi of terror in Chechnya in the 1990s. Afterward, many Chechen jihadis escaped, only to end up joining dodgy outfits in Syria financed by the Saudis.

The late, great Lebanese analyst Anis Naqqash later confirmed that it was the legendary Iranian Quds Force Commander Qassem Soleimani who convinced Putin, in person, to enter the Syrian theater of war and help defeat the terrorism. This strategic masterplan, it transpires, was to fatally debilitate the US in West Asia.

The US security establishment, of course, would never forgive Putin, and especially Soleimani, for defeating their handy jihadist foot soldiers. On the orders of President Donald Trump, the anti-ISIS Iranian general was assassinated in Baghdad in January 2020, alongside Abu Mahdi al-Mohandes, deputy leader of Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Units (PMUs), a broad spectrum of Iraqi fighters who had coalesced to defeat ISIS in Iraq.

Afterword

ESCOBAR DOES A NICE JOB concisely laying out the history and (often hidden) dynamics underlying US motivations and behavior in the Middle East and towards Russia throughout this century. What he provides is highly important in understanding current events on the foreign policy front (and to a more limited degree, the domestic political front, as well).

All-in-all, its a pretty shabby tale. Worse, its a tale the shabbiness of which must be a shame borne by most Americans, even those with no connection to the policy-making elite. This is because as much as people like to imagine themselves powerless to effect such matters, most Americans have been quietly funding the death of every Iraqi, Libyan, Syrian, Lebanese, Afghani and Palestinian man, woman and child killed by military violence over the last twenty-two years (and all such deaths in Ukraine, as well).

The shame needn't go on though, for any particular person. Especially now, with the US Supreme Court having just reaffirmed its 108-year-old ruling in Brushaber v. Union Pacific RR. Co., acknowledging the truth about the income tax revealed in CtC...

The arising and sustenance of the Leviathan state monster used-- directly and indirectly-- to wreak all the death and destruction in the Middle East and Eastern Europe is a direct result of the successful mis-administration of the US income tax laws. This began 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. Each such act makes use of state-restraining tools baked into the Constitutional cake by the Founders and Framers, and each such act WILL make a difference, however small. Most important, each such act will absolve the actor from the dishonor of participation in the heinous crimes their resources would otherwise finance.

All that is required is some knowledge (which can be gotten here), 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.

You can find all of this explained here, along with links to some additional relevant resources.

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.

Are You Ready For More Power?

"Peter Hendrickson has done it again! 'Upholding The Law' does for individual liberties what 'Cracking the Code' did for tax law compliance: exposes the reader to the unalienable truth!"

Do you know someone truly steeped in the Kool-Aid?

I mean someone who finds it easier to believe that the far-better-educated, far-more-suspicious-of-government Americans of a hundred years ago were complete morons who granted authority to the state to take whatever it wished from themselves and their posterity than to imagine that they themselves simply misunderstand the true nature of the income tax? Even while knowing that their beliefs about the tax are derived entirely from the representations of those who profit from those beliefs (like tax bureaucrats and "tax professionals")?

Do you know someone like that? Shake them awake with the latest (sixteenth) edition of CtC!
