Illuminating anniversaries of this week:

November 24- In 1859, Charles Darwin publishes 'On the Origin of Species'.  In 1917, a bomb explodes in Police headquarters in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, killing ten.  In 1932, the FBI Crime Lab opens its doors.  In 1963, Lee Harvey Oswald, accused assassin of JFK, is shot by Jack Ruby on live television; Lyndon Johnson declares his intention to support the government of South Vietnam both militarily and economically.  In 1971, D. B. Cooper parachutes from a hijacked airliner with $200,000.00 in ransom money.  Neither have been seen since.  In 2015, a Russian fighter jet cleaning up ISIS in Syria is shot down by Turkey after an accidental 17-second incursion into Turkish airspace. Russian restraint from retaliation and possible escalation (due to the fact that Turkey is a member of NATO) averted thermonuclear destruction of the planet.

 

Anniversaries of interest for each day of this week will be found throughout the newsletter below.

 

NOTE: I don't even try to include in these anniversary compilations items involved in the "COVID-19" scam, hysteria and exploitation. There would be way too much to say about all that to suit this format. But find my summary of that history, and related observations posted throughout 2020 and 2021, here.

The Real Story Of Thanksgiving

Do yourself and society a favor-- read this to your kids.

THANKSGIVING DAY IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE special days of the year, and not because of the great food. The real virtues of this unique American celebration lie in the lessons in humility and maturity offered by its history.

The virtuous lessons to which I refer are offered only by Thanksgiving's true history, however. That true history is the exact opposite of the bogus, "Thank God (sorry... politically incorrect... make that, "Thank Fortuitous Random Chance") we were saved from starvation by the generosity of our neighbors-- see how wonderful socialism can be!" nonsense which too many Americans have been misled into imagining to be the truth.

In fact, the feast we commemorate on the fourth Thursday of November had nothing whatsoever to do with "generosity". What we actually commemorate on Thanksgiving is the Plymouth Rock colonists' recognition of the evils of socialism and the goodness of Adam Smith's "invisible hand" of profit-motivation unleashed by security in property rights.

It was that 11th-hour epiphany after a disastrous experiment with communitarian soulfulness that saved the colony from starvation. Thanks be to God, indeed, for that merciful and timely grant of wisdom.

IN VERY BRIEF SUMMARY, the Plymouth Rock colony began as a commune, organized under the principle that the proceeds of every individual's labors would be claimed of right by the community as a whole, and then redistributed in equal measure to every member. This system lasted for several years, during which the colony grew ever more hungry and impoverished.

Unable to keep the fruit of their labors for themselves, and with the unproductive receiving the same out of the communal resources as those who worked hard, soon no one worked hard. To do so was a fool's game.

The only competition un-smothered by the communitarian rule was the race to the bottom in the avoidance of labor. Every year the crops were thinner; every year the shares distributed to each colonist were more meager.

Finally, in 1623 and on the verge of the colony's failure (that is, the death of all the colonists), the feel-good socialist lunacy was recognized as the deadly mental virus that it is. The ruinous pretense that the community had a rightful claim on the food produced by each member was abandoned, and the colonist's rights to their own production was secured.

As it was recounted (in third-person format) in 1623 by William Bradford, Governor of the Colony:

...so they began to think how they might raise as much corn as they could, and obtain a better crop than they had done, that they might not still thus languish in misery.

At length, after much debate of things, the Governor (with the advice of the chiefest amongst them) gave way that they should set corn every man for his own particular, and in that regard trust to themselves; in all other things to go on in the general way as before. And so assigned to every family a parcel of land, according to the proportion of their number, for that end, only for present use (but made no division for inheritance) and ranged all boys and youth under some family.

This had very good success, for it made all hands very industrious, so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been by any means the Governor or any other could use, and saved him a great deal of trouble, and gave far better content. The women now went willingly into the field, and took their little ones with them to set corn; which before would allege weakness and inability; whom to have compelled would have been thought great tyranny and oppression.

Thus, the deadly madness of socialism was replaced with a pragmatic expression of two natural laws: 1. no person (and no group of persons, acting under whatever title or label or pretense it may) can rightfully dictate the disposal of the product of another's labor; and 2. no society can violate a natural law without suffering the harmful consequences. It was only then that the colony had its first bountiful harvest, for which the members properly gave thanks.

IT IS THE BENEFICIAL CONSEQUENCE of the Plymouth Rock Colony's epiphany concerning the destructive follies of socialism and the rewarding virtues of natural law that we have celebrated on Thanksgiving over the years. Here is William Bradford again, expressing the lesson taken by these ancestors of the American revolutionaries of a century-and-a-half hence:

The experience that was had in this common course and condition, tried sundry years and that amongst godly and sober men, may well evince the vanity of that conceit of Plato's and other ancients applauded by some of later times; that the taking away of property and bringing in community into a commonwealth would make them happy and flourishing; as if they were wiser than God.

Needless to say, the experience of the Plymouth Rock Colony was firmly in the American memory at the time that our founding principles were spelled out. It is unsurprising that the colonists' hard-won wisdom deeply informs the Declaration of Independence, the principles enshrined in which are declared to be the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God.

It is unsurprising that the Articles of Confederation and our federal and various state Constitutions are constructed around the core principle that no government (which is, in theory, the agent of the community acting as a whole) has a claim of right to any property other than its own, or that which is produced by the exercise of its own unique prerogatives. The Plymouth Rock Colonists taught us the fatal folly of having things any other way.

THE VIRTUOUS LESSONS LEARNED by the Plymouth Rock Colony's near-disastrous experiment with a fancied and prideful "alternative" to the basic reality of natural law is well-worth the giving of thanks. So is the wisdom of our Founders in taking those lessons to heart and hardwiring them into our American legal structure.

With these things firmly in mind as the real reasons for celebration, I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving. I hope that it finds you all well, and leaves you all comfortably stuffed with the good food and good cheer for which this holiday is casually and warmly known.

But I also hope that you all dwell for a few minutes on the more sober aspects of this commemoration. I especially hope you see to it that your children understand the truth (rather than the warm fuzzy fictions that they have been taught in their government schools and through the mindless popular culture).

The real lessons of Thanksgiving are very important lessons. Our societal well-being depends on those lessons remaining embedded in our American consciousness and institutions.

It has been famously and wisely observed that those who allow themselves to be ignorant of history lessons are doomed to repeat them, and we don't want our children or grandchildren to have to repeat this one. The good Lord might not be so forgiving of their arrogance the second time around.

***

P.S. THANKSGIVING IS NOT ONLY A GOOD TIME to reflect and instruct on the evils and delusions of socialism, and the enormous virtues of well-secured liberty and property rights of so, in an academic sense. It is also a great time to think about these things from a practical and personal perspective. Here's a picture-worth-a-thousand-words on that point. Click on it for more:

More Fumblings and Felonies In The Epstein Affair

...along with some thoughts about MTG's ill-considered retirement (in light of Trump's rapidly fading mojo) and the need for clarification by the "Seditious" Six.

THOMAS MASSIE is the best person holding public office today, bar none. And Massie's discharge petition to force the release of Epstein files is a virtuous project by this virtuous man.

Sadly, though, even Thomas Massie appears to have fallen prey to Leviathan's greatest weapon against what are supposed to be the sovereign people-- the reflexive (and generally mistaken) assumption that virtue-- or, at least, good intentions-- control the behavior of government officers in general. Even while adopting an overall demeanor in his petition suggesting otherwise in many respects, Massie has nonetheless incorporated provisions reflecting an expectation that Trump and team will act in good faith in response to the petition's object and specifics.

For example, the petition provides for the withholding of anything deemed "classified". This is an escape hatch big enough for the concealment of anything at all that the Trump administration wants to keep secret. Requirements that "summaries" of materials deemed classified be provided are meaningless-- without being able to see the materials supposedly being "summarized", it will be impossible to know if the "summaries" are accurate or are simple gaslighting, a practice in which the Trump team has already shown itself more than willing to engage in this matter.

Additional provisions in the "PERMITTED WITHHOLDINGS" section of the petition allow for redactions or withholding of files in which victims can be identified; in which crimes of child sexual abuse are contained or depicted; the release of which would jeopardize ongoing investigations or prosecutions (with a requirement of narrow tailoring and eventual release included, but with neither such limitation defined with any specificity); or any in which images of death, physical abuse or injury of any person are depicted or contained.

There is even a "PERMITTED WITHHOLDING" on the basis of "national defense of foreign policy".

These allowances for the withholding of material have an air of formality to them; a certain decorousness, as it were, and their appearance is unsurprising. In a normal case, in which the party being instructed to make the disclosures can be safely presumed to have the same interest in exposing wrong-doing as the one doing the instructing, these provisions would be fit and of no concern. But all of them-- ALL of them-- are completely improper in this case.

The fact is, the Trump team must be presumed to act in bad faith in this matter. No discretion of any kind should be afforded it.

The fact is, these provisions will ensure that, at the very least, no sensibly-skeptical person will be able to have the least bit of confidence that he or she sees everything there is to be seen in connection with what the Trump administration has made perfectly clear it desperately wants to keep hidden from the American people.

FURTHER, IT MUST BE REMEMBERED that We, the People, don't hire government employees to have them protect us from seeing nasty or disturbing things. This is always true, and especially so in this case. Here, we are taking on our sovereign roles of both judge and jury, as must always be so when we seek to supervise our staff of public servants.

In any trial on allegations of wrongdoing, the judge and jury not only get to see EVERYTHING, but they must see everything, in order to properly perform those offices. Here, that principle is especially important, since those involved in the multi-year cover-up of Epstein's crimes, both those known and those as yet merely suspected with good cause, are legion, and come from all parties and all offices of (at least) the federal government. Until all has been made public, every past and current US office-holder, including both those to whom Massie's petition is directed and those who belatedly or reluctantly signed on to the order, are potential perps-- along with the entire "mover and shaker" class here in America and elsewhere.

The discharge petition could have and should have been written with these things in mind. Speaking as the sovereign People, we are perfectly within our rights to waive concerns about ongoing investigations or prosecutions, since revelations such as we hope to see cannot prejudice an active or potential defendant's rights. Such revelations can only make a prosecution more difficult, and we can and should accept that possible downside in the interest of ensuring full disclosure.

Similarly, were there to be any "national security" or "foreign policy" implications in what could be revealed in connection with Epstein, we should especially see those revelations. Only a completely unacceptable national security structure or foreign policy could be such that it is threatened by exposure of its connection with a figure such as Jeffrey Epstein, based on all that we already know about the man and his activities.

Finally, in that vein, concern for the victims is misplaced and will serve only as a fig leaf for massive redaction of materials and the consequent protection of many evil persons. Many of Epstein's victims are already known, and have queued up to clamor for the release of all information concerning themselves and what was done to them, and by way of them. Their privacy is not a valid concern.

Those victims that have not stepped up and demanded like recognition are, sadly and sympathetically but also unacceptably, thereby making themselves complicit in the crimes. Claims for privacy on their behalf, especially when proffered or administered by possible perps whose interests would be served by honoring those claims, must be denied.

THE EXCELLENT THOMAS MASSIE has done a good thing with his discharge petition. But, alas, not a perfect thing. The American people must watch with a jaundiced eye as the Trump team purports to comply with the petition (which also notably suffers for lack of an enforcement provision, such as making violation of its terms a 20-year felony).

It is, indeed, clear enough from Trump's sudden reversal from fighting against the petition to calling for its enactment that his crack team of legal weasels let him know that as written, the petition offers enough holes and work-around opportunities as to be not at all the danger it first seemed.

Be ready to resume pressure when the dodgy compliance package goes public, and be ready to oppose, denounce and reject the distraction likely to be trotted out just beforehand.

***

I HAVE SUNG THE PRAISES of Thomas Massie in the comments above, but their is another member of Congress to whom much appreciation is owed, especially over the last six months or so. I speak of Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Greene began as just a fervent "America First" adherent who mistakenly imagined Donald Trump and crew to share that fervor and hence, was a strong and very outspoken Trump supporter. Over the course of 2025, though, Greene has learned that Trump's "MAGA" is primarily theatrical, with his true interests being those of the oligarchy and certain foreign parties.

True to form, Greene has become outspoken against Trump's misplaced interests, breaking of his campaign promises and betrayal of his base (which he grotesquely accuses of betraying him as it increasingly withdraws its support). True to form, Trump has become a vicious disparager of Greene, has withdrawn his endorsement of her candidacy for another term next year, and vows to support a primary challenger for her seat.

Fearing an ugly spring next year in light of the foregoing, Greene has announce her intention to resign her seat this coming January. Part of her given reason is a disinterest in serving as a member of a minority party in the House even if successful in her run.

THOUGH I FEAR SHE WILL NEVER see these words, I have to say that I think Greene is making a bad call. Donald Trump's mojo is evaporating rapidly, while Greene's is swelling, despite her present sense of being opposed and oppressed. As the Epstein affair plays out over the next month or two I think both of these trends will strengthen dramatically.

In fact, I suspect that Greene can expect to be increasingly lionized by the real America First base as it all plays out-- she is sensible and well-spoken, and has been on the right side of everything lately. Further, I suspect that fears of minority status in Congress next year are equally unfounded.

My expectation is that many Republican incumbents will be replaced next year, but not by Democrats (the distaste for whom among the broader electorate remains as sharp as it was last November, and for much the same reasons now as then). I think a large number of AIPAC-beholden (or otherwise MIGA) Republicans will be primaried next year by actual America First candidates. While the number of such challenges that arise and are successful might not be enough to control the House outright, they will be enough to make Greene's next term a lot more pleasant than she currently fears.

Stick it out, Marjorie! I might be right, and you being in the race as an example to others will help make it happen.

***

FINALLY, I WANT TO KNOW WHICH of Trump and Co.'s illegal orders are on the minds of the lately famous "Seditious Six"! Especially with increasingly express threats of retributions in the air, I think these outspoken Democrats owe it to themselves to speak more plainly. There IS a discourse on all this going on, and their being vague denies those who might take the side of the Six any properly firm ground on which to do so.

Is it the ordered murders on the high seas? A lot of people will get behind that charge-- indeed, the entire body of honest legal scholars will do so.

Maybe it's the escalating aggressions against the Palestinians, of which the US is increasingly a party, on Trump administration policy and orders? Again, lots of solid legal backing for that charge of illegality, and a massive body of activists who will rally round.

What about the orders to stonewall, lie about or secretly withhold Epstein files which obviously has been going on for quite a long time and must be suspected to be expanding right now? MASSIVE backing to be had on behalf of that charge, if that's among the "illegal orders" alluded to by the Six in their video.

Then there are the carpet-bomb First Amendment violations committed by the Trump team against anti-Israel protestors throughout the year so far... And let's not forget the even larger-scale Fourth Amendment violations being committed against EVERY American by the NSA.

I could go on, but I think I've made the point. There are plenty of orders currently in play against which every oath-taker should be cautioned. I just think the Seditious Six need to get explicit, for their own good, and for the sake of the rest of us who might like to offer them a tip of the hat.

P.S. SURGERY UPDATE

This past Friday marked the close of week twenty-seven since my May 16 operation. Four weeks in a sling, sixteen weeks of physical therapy, and seven weeks of at-home PT exercises, so far. A little better each day (mostly, save for a setback now and then due to my less-than-perfect patience and consequent overexertion in the weightroom...). Thank you all very much for your patience. Things will get back to normal eventually.

Please continue to share victories as usual (though my responses may be belated). Those seeking guidance on CtC-related matters are directed to the site map. You really will find everything anyone could need there, with just a bit of poking around required.

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 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.

How To Be A Leader In The CtC Community

It's simple:

KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT THE TAX IN DETAIL

LEAD BY EXAMPLE

KNOW WHERE TO FIND THE RESOURCES

BE FAMILIAR WITH THE SCAMS, THE MISUNDERSTANDINGS, AND THE TROLL-POLLUTION

TAKE CHARGE IN YOUR STATE FORUM, HELPING EVERYONE TO THINK CLEARLY AND STAY ON TOPIC

All-in-all, just be the sort of person for others that you would go to yourself for trustworthy leadership.

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...

"I Didn't Think Anyone Could Be That Evil"

by Chuck Baldwin

The title of this column is a quote from 25-year retired Army Green Beret Lieutenant Colonel Anthony Aguilar. Colonel Aguilar’s missions took him to Iraq, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Jordan, and the Philippines. He received the Purple Heart for wounds he received in combat. After retiring from the Army, he served as a security contractor in Gaza for UG Solutions, which was contracted to provide security at aid distribution sites operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. He resigned from his position after approximately two months, citing human rights violations and crimes against humanity being committed by the security agency at the behest of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

What Colonel Aguilar witnessed in Gaza by the Israeli military (and the U.S. private contractors under the direction of the IDF) is further evidence of just how vile and wicked the Israel government and its military really are.

Colonel Aguilar was recently interviewed on the AJ+ podcast. Here are excerpts from that interview:

Anthony Aguilar: Never in my life did I think that an army could be so evil as to use food to lure a starving population through a battlefield, killing women and children and the elderly on purpose.

Dena Takruri: I wanted to hear more about how he went from believing he was going to Gaza to help feed Palestinians to realizing the United States was complicit in Israel’s genocide, particularly as a 25-year veteran of the U.S. Army.

So, what did you understand to be the mandate of your mission? What exactly were you going to be doing on the ground there?

Aguilar: What we were told in kind of a general overview briefing before we got on the plane out of Dulles is that the United States stepped forward to take over the United Nations mission because Israel would no longer allow the United Nations in and that Israel will allow the United States to work with them to do it and that we were going in to take over that mission to deliver food.

I envisioned that we would be going in, occupying and securing, or securing at least, 400 distribution sites and securing 500 to 550 trucks a day going in because that’s what the UN did. That was my mindset going in. And I believed that until the very first day I got there, and I realized that that was not the case.

Takruri: Describe to me what you first saw and felt when you arrived to the Gaza Strip.

Aguilar: What I witnessed in that first look as we came in was the most devastating, destructive, beyond war annihilation, apocalyptic thing I’d ever seen in my life. Something that I couldn’t even imagine in a nightmare. Rubble, dogs eating remains of bodies, smoke in the horizon from bombs being dropped, not a building left in sight and everything leveled. It was a landscape of destruction and horror, which I’ve never witnessed before. And honestly, it made me feel sick.

The Israel Defense Forces were leading us, and they gave us this briefing. They pulled out a giant map that showed operations that were going on. First of all, I didn’t see 400 distribution sites; I saw 4. All of them were in the south, away from the areas that people needed the food. And no one north of the Netzarim Corridor from Gaza could reach these sites. That started to paint a picture to me that this is either horribly planned or there’s something else going on here.

Then when I looked at the sites and I saw the operational graphics on their map—this is an Israeli map that showed that offensive combat operations going on around these sites—these sites were behind the forward line of contact, the front line, if you will, which means the civilians have to cross, have to travel through the fighting to get there. It’s a violation of the Geneva Convention.

Takruri: Why do you think it was designed that way?

Aguilar: It became clear to me that it was designed that way when we got to site one, and I walked up to the berm to stand up on top of the berm to look, and there’s Merkava battle tanks driving through and firing at positions. There’s a battle going on. There’s mortar rounds, there’s artillery rounds. There’s people, thousands of Palestinians lined up along the coastal corridor, the coastal road, because they have nowhere else to go; they live on the beach. They live there in shanty tarp shacks because there’s nowhere else to live because their homes have been destroyed. And there’s this battle going on.

And I look at my map, and I look at that, and I go back, and I talk to the IDF and to the guy in charge, the GHF guy in charge. And I said, “We can’t distribute aid from these sites. We’re going to get a lot of people killed, and it violates Geneva Conventions. We cannot do this.” That was wholly ignored [by the IDF commander]: “We’re going to do it anyway. We’re doing it. It doesn’t matter. We’re fighting Hamas. The Geneva Convention doesn’t apply.”

But then when I saw all the sites, how all the sites were designed this way, it became very clear to me then from seeing the way the sites were designed and how they functioned, that this is forced displacement. The Israeli government, through the Israel defense forces in Gaza, are using food to bait Palestinians to forcefully displace them to the south en masse. And I don’t mean just a couple hundred. I mean, everybody, the entire population.

Takruri: Did it strike you as wrong that the same people that were deliberately starving Palestinians, the Israelis, are now tasked with feeding them?

Aguilar: Morally, ethically, legally, humanitarianly: wrong, wrong, wrong. Yes, it was shockingly wrong to me, which is why in the beginning I thought, “Do these people just not know what they’re doing? Or this can’t be intentional.” But what came to my realization, and it came to me very hard, is that this is intentional.

Takruri: Why did you initially think it’s not intentional?

Aguilar: Because I didn’t think anybody could be that evil. [Emphasis added]

Takruri: So, in your interactions with personnel from the IDF, how did they describe what they were doing? Or how did they talk about the Palestinians that they were purportedly feeding?

Aguilar: The Israelis did not want to feed the Palestinians. From the very bottom level, IDF soldiers in Gaza that I talked to that are in Gaza, in the war, they asked me flat out one day, clearly, “Why are you feeding our enemy?” I was like, “Well, we’re feeding the civilians.” “No, they’re all our enemy. You are feeding our enemy.” I was like, “Women, children, old men and women?” “Yeah, they’re all the enemy. Every Palestinian is our enemy.” That’s how they saw it.

But they also referred to them as animals. They called them zombies. They referred to the groups of the Palestinians where they’d come to the sites as “the zombie horde,” dehumanizing them, not providing them water, shooting at them to get them to move a certain way like they’re animals in a cage. It’s horrible.

Takruri: And was this perspective of dehumanization also evident in the GHF members that you were working with as well, your colleagues?

Aguilar: Absolutely. The American contractor who’s in charge of the entire security plan for armed Americans being in Gaza is the national president of the Infidels Motorcycle Club, a US-based veterans motorcycle club. The charter of their organization is to fight jihad and the elimination of all Muslims from the earth. This is the guy in charge of the armed security for delivering food into Gaza to a predominantly Arab Muslim population.

Takruri: Other than these sort of ideological motivations for going to Gaza, were contractors with GHF well compensated?

Aguilar: Well, this type of work is very lucrative. So, for all of us and what we were getting paid: $1,320 a day. So, if you’re there making that much money…and that was just the run-of-the-mill person. If you’re in a leadership position, site leader, mobile leader, you’re making $1,600 a day.

[For that much money] you can just look the other way, say, “This isn’t my problem. No one’s going to know.”

These guys are going to go there, and they’re going to get rich, and they’re going to come home with $300,000 after four or five months of work. Can you imagine only having to work five months out of the year and being rich doing it? It’s a lot of money.

Not to mention the people that run the contract, they’re making millions. Millions. This future Gaza Riviera resort plan is going to make people billions.

This is about money, which is really the sickening, sickening part of this. This isn’t about Hamas. This isn’t about religion. This isn’t about who owns the land. This is about money. And it’s disgusting.

Takruri: I did want to ask you, what is your reaction to the leaked Trump Gaza Riviera plan, which calls for the reconstruction of Gaza as an investment and manufacturing hub? And Boston Consulting Group, which also worked on the plan for deploying GHF, is involved. Do you think GHF should be involved in this plan to turn Gaza into a U.S. territory?

Aguilar: So, in the main control center, where the operations are, on the wall in that main control center, is a large poster of a Boston Consulting Group rendering of the future industrial complex resort. That rendering is on the wall in the control center at Kerem Shalom for the GHF. The GHF is not a humanitarian organization. And they don’t care. They are there to stake property.

Takruri: At what point did you decide that you could no longer have any part to do with it?

Aguilar: On the 8th of June, I was in the control center and outside of Kerem Shalom, and we were distributing at site number two. And I’m in the control room watching it on the screen. The crowd was very, very packed in there, very packed. And people were being crushed up against concrete walls inside of the sites that were lined with barbed wire, this razor wire, and people were getting crushed up against it.

So, there was a Palestinian man in the crowd who lifted these children up because they were getting trampled and crushed; they were small. And the Israel Defense Force liaison officer, a senior ranking officer in the Israel Defense Force who is in our operations center, looks at the screen, and he says, “Get them off of there right now.” And so, I’m looking at the same thing he’s looking at. I’m like, “Well, the security on the ground there, they’re addressing it. They’re dealing with it. But I mean, these are children. Calm down. These are children.”

“Get them off of there. That’s not secure. Get them off,” the IDF officer said.

I was like, “They’re children. They have no shoes on. They don’t have any weapons. There’s nothing in their hands at all. One of the children doesn’t even have a shirt. Calm down.”

He walks back to his desk, gets on the radio with his forces, and then he comes back over to where I’m standing, and there was an American in our operations center that understood and could speak Hebrew a little bit. And he says to me, “He just said on the radio for his snipers to shoot them down.”

So, when this officer came back, I asked, “Did you just order your snipers at site number two to shoot these kids?” He said, “Well, if you’re not going to take care of it, I will.” And I said, “We’re not shooting children.”

As we were having this dialogue, the children had run off to the edge of this wall, and they jumped down so they could run away. They were scared. They didn’t want to be there. Thank God we didn’t have to see what would have come.

But in that moment, the Safe Reach Solutions contract lead, the boss if you will, who was in the operations center, called me over and he said, “Tony, never say no to the client.” And I said, “What do you mean don’t say no to the client?” He said, “The IDF are our client. We work for them. They’re in charge.” And I was like, “Even when they say to kill children?” He said, “What decisions they make and how they want to fight this war, who they decide to kill or not is not our decision. This is a contract. This is business. Don’t say no to our client.”

Takruri: And did you step down at that point?

Aguilar: I told him at that point, I said, “I’m done.”

Takruri: How many people do you understand to have been killed at these GHF sites up until now?

Aguilar: From the beginning of operations, 26 May, until today, thousands. Not only the hundreds and hundreds into the magnitude of thousands that have been reported by the U.N. and Médecins Sans Frontières and others at the Nasser Hospital and the Khan Younis hospitals directly near these sites receiving about MCI, or mass casualty incidents, on the days that correlate to the same times and dates of distribution. But there are hundreds of bodies buried outside of these sites that have just been buried in the rubble, bulldozed and buried in the ground.

Takruri: So, what do you want Americans to know as one of the few Americans who has been to Gaza during this genocide?

Aguilar: The United States is hand in glove with the Israeli government in committing a genocide. What is happening in Gaza is not a misfortune of war. It is designed: the displacement, the removal, the destruction, the ethnic cleansing, the genocide. It is by design.

Wake up, America. If we stand by and we allow it to happen there, it’s going to happen here.

Folks, there you have it: a first-hand eyewitness account of not only the brutality and sheer wanton genocidal murder of the Palestinian people by the Israelis but also the direct, on-the-ground complicity of U.S. private contractors. Of course, this is in addition to the billions of dollars of U.S. technology, surveillance systems, military equipment, intelligence, naval battle groups, bombs, missiles, jets and other munitions, along with direct CIA support and assistance.

...and then proceed to the afterword below...

 

Afterword

HOW DO YOU FEEL about being the source of funding for the atrocities Israel commits on a daily basis in Palestine and in so many other places off and on, as well (i.e., Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, on the high seas)? Why, then, do you continue to be that source, when for the most part, you don't have to do so?

This is the question every right-thinking American should be asking themselves, or, if CtC-educated and -activated, should be asking every other person they know.

We MUST sever our shameful connection with this beast of the Middle East. In fact, our only related action in the region should be the use of our military might to defend Israeli victims against the ugly little apartheid and genocidal state's onslaughts (such as this recent one in Lebanon).

Until that severing can be made to happen by reclaiming control over our politics and policy from the amoral and lunatic Zionists whose hands are currently on the levers of power, each right-thinking American should personally step up and do what he or she can to reduce the harm being done.

All that is needed to accomplish that righteous and critically-important regulation is that those who have already received CtC's liberating and empowering revelations help the rest of the American population quickly understand the truth about the tax and discover that even though Washington may at present be a Leviathan in the grip of the wicked, this need not remain the case.

Bell-ringing efforts like this are easier than ever now, with the US Supreme Court having just reaffirmed its 108-year-old ruling in Brushaber v. Union Pacific RR. Co. and having freshly acknowledged the accuracy of CtC.

Remember, the arising and sustenance of the Leviathan state monster is a direct result of the successful mis-administration of the US income tax laws.

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.

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.

It's time to stop whistling past the graveyard and start using the powerful and important tools with which our wise ancestors equipped us. That said, these days are also a good time to be keeping your powder dry.

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..."

Learn The Liberating Truth About The Tax

*****

*****

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!

C'mon! CtC can't be right! You're crazy!

If CtC were actually right, it would mean the government's been concealing and denying and suppressing the truth for years on end, and everybody knows THAT would never happen...

PRO TIP: If I were the IRS and I wanted to discourage people from rebutting allegations that they had done things I can tax, and wanted to keep them from successfully reclaiming withheld or paid-in money, I would salt the "tax honesty" community with passionate-seeming "legal researchers" who would warn anyone whose ear they captured that filing a 1040 is a bad idea for one reason or another...

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

About The Author

Pete Hendrickson is possibly the most effective lawyer in history, even while never having set foot in a law school, nor ever being a card-carrying member of "the bar". He is the first American in history to secure a complete refund of Social Security and Medicare "contributions" withheld from his earnings (along with all other property taken for federal taxes); further, since 2003 students of his legal analyses and arguments in 'Cracking the Code- The Fascinating Truth About Taxation In America' (CtC), and its sequel, 'Was Grandpa Really a Moron?' have been routinely retaining and recovering billions of dollars which otherwise-- wrongly, but as a matter of course-- would have gone to federal or state government treasuries. This despite concerted efforts by government to suppress his work, and in some cases vigorously oppose the claims by his students.

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.
