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 the truth for years on end, and everybody knows THAT would never happen... (Edward Snowden, come home! It was all just a bad dream; there really is No Such Agency!)
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 (fifteenth) edition of CtC!

Most Of You Deserve To Be Squashed Like Cockroaches Hate to say it, but it's true... HOW DO YOU THINK the civil rights movement on the early 1960s would
have fared if Rosa Parks hadn't very, very visibly said, "NO!" on that bus?
How would it have gone for that movement if most of its advocates had stayed out of sight and relied on "someone else" to step up and act, even though its cause of equality under the law was plainly just and all opposition to it was manifestly corrupt? Here's the answer: Poorly. I ASK THESE RHETORICAL QUESTIONS because here we are, a full half-year since I posted another in a disturbingly years-long and unanswered series of heart-attack-serious calls for some escalated outreach, this time complete with ready-to-print artwork. I have re-iterated and re-emphasized that call many times since (here, for example). No one has risen to my call. No one has done squat, even though I go to a huge amount of trouble and sacrifice to get thousands of you together in state groups, so that you can easily join together to engage in these projects at minimal personal expense and with the benefit of many helping hands. EVEN MY MORE-THAN-DECADE-OLD CALL for videos with which to inspire others has only prompted a few score of virtuous men and women to step up and stand out. This, though many, many, many of you were yourselves inspired by the videos posted already by others for YOUR benefit before you first began learning the truth about the tax. I don't understand this insanity. Do so many of you somehow not grasp the fact that if you don't capture the attention of large numbers of other Americans you will never be secure in your enjoyment of your rights? Do you not understand that you MUST sit at the metaphorical lunch-counters, and in the front of the bus, and on the street? You want to take $2.5 trillion a year away from a deeply-entrenched, broadly-corrupt empire, and you think you can do so without getting busy in the biggest possible way??!! Get real. LET ME SAY YET AGAIN what I have said so many times before: You will NEVER secure your right to stop feathering the nests of the state and its cronies and clients by application to the state's courts. You will NEVER secure your right to stop feathering the nests of the state and its cronies and clients by application to the state's apparatchiks and beneficiaries in government service and political offices. You might have individual victories by those means-- maybe lots of them-- while the state casts about for satisfactory means of evading the newly-emergent and hugely problematic truth. But such efforts will never change the landscape as it needs to be changed for you to be secure in your rights, and in time they will increasingly fail to deliver victories as the corrupt state recovers its balance. THE PERHAPS INCONVENIENT FACT IS, you can ONLY secure your right to stop feathering the nests of the state and its cronies and clients by awakening the state's competitors-- productive, liberty-loving Americans-- to the fact that they've been being fooled into feathering the nests of the state and its cronies and clients, and they don't have to continue doing so. And you can ONLY succeed in managing that ONLY solution to your dire need if you GET THE LEAD OUT. NOW! You have in your hands the solution to the corrupt state. You KNOW it is the truth. You have a narrow window of opportunity to cement that truth into its proper place as your shield against a ravenous, unscrupulous state which struggles ceaselessly to bury it and go on exploiting you, your children and their children, in perpetuity. And you are DITHERING. I'M GOING TO BE AS BLUNT, hard and cold as a pelf-swollen police-state truncheon against an uppity, "Hey, stop! You can't do that! I know my rights! Hey, STOP!!" wool-stuffed delusional head: If you continue to sit on your hands NOT making a clamor and NOT telling every fellow American whom you can figure out some way of reaching-- wholesale-- nothing more complex than where to go find the truth, and why they ought to do so, you will, one by one, be squashed like cockroaches. And you, being long-since equipped with every tool and resource needed to raise that clamor and spare yourself that fate, will deserve it. "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle." -Edmund Burke

Brenna Wright Shares Her Tax Truth Odyssey ...and proves she DOESN'T deserve to be squashed like a cockroach. "NO ONE CAN HELP YOU fill out your W-4." Having learned the truth about the tax, Brenna now understands why this was said to her when starting her first job... In this little video, Brenna will tell you about that epiphany, and show you her concrete proof-of-the-pudding, as well. Once you've heard Brenna's uplifting story, follow her good advice and her good example, and get busy! *** BTW, let's look a little more closely at the IRS admission concerning 2018 which Brenna displays in her video. Here is the first page:
I want to start by pointing everyone's attention to the careful language in the little explanatory blurb to the left of the "SUMMARY" statement on this first page of the CP12: "We believe there are miscalculations on your 2018 Form 1040..." Now let me ask you, have you ever sat down across the desk from an IRS examiner during an audit? If so, think about that experience. If not, find someone who has and ask. What you'll remember or be told is that the IRS is an agency which, when it REALLY "believes" there are errors, doesn't speak of what it "believes". Instead, it just dictates outcomes, with an legendary arrogance. But here, it just "believes". NOW LET'S LOOK at the "admissions" section of the notice Brenna received:
Plainly, Brenna's conclusions about not having had any tax-relevant "income" are not "miscalculations" in the tax agency's eyes-- it agrees with those conclusions/calculations and says so flatly. The only thing the IRS purports to be a "miscalculation" is the amount withheld from Brenna. Take note of the fact that while the tax calculations portion of this table-- the portion in which no "miscalculations" are alleged-- includes Brenna's calculations and the IRS's calculations. But the part concerning what the agency alleges Brenna "miscalculated"-- the part where Brenna's calculations are actually relevant to the substance of the notice-- omits her calculations. All we see is what the agency says it "believes" true. LOOKING A BIT DEEPER, at the "explanatory" note which precede the "calculations" table, we see this:
"We changed the amount claimed as federal income tax withheld on your tax return to reflect the amounts shown on Form(s) W-2, 1099 or other supporting documents." Now here's the thing about that statement: By its reference to "supporting documents", the IRS is saying that the references used to "calculate" Brenna's amount of federal income tax withheld are the documents Brenna had attached to her 1040 in support, not documents the agency had received elsewhere. Those documents, as can be seen by looking at Brenna's filing, only support a "calculation" of $7,439.54 withheld as federal income tax. Further, the agency admission that Brenna had no Chapter 24 "wages" on the basis of which any associated liability and agency claim to what had been withheld under that chapter could arise is also an admission that Brenna had no Chapter 21 "wages" on the basis of which any associated liability and agency claim to what had been withheld under that chapter could arise (see this and this). Thus, the ONLY proper calculation of amount withheld-- in the context of what is due Brenna as a refund-- is the $7,439.54 Brenna claimed, no matter what labels are put on any of it. So, the reasons for the careful use of "believe" in the notice's first-page declaration, and the omission of Brenna's "calculation" of the total amount withheld in the table, suddenly become a bit more clear. The "belief" has to be put that way because really, it's simply a flat-out lie, completely contradicted by the documents on which the agency purports to rely, and completely contradicted by its own admissions. The agency "belief" is simply an invitation to Brenna to buy in to the lie, in the hope, apparently, that she is unfamiliar with the authorities cited in the materials linked above. Or, maybe the agency hopes to simply intimidate Brenna into letting it keep what is far and away the lion's share of her withheld property with this display of corruption (although any amount would be just as wrong). IN FACT, the questions implied in the paragraph above have already been settled. Prior to the IRS making its admissions that Brenna had no "wages" and no "income", it took an early shot at confusing or intimidating Brenna by way of this LTR12C, pretending that her supporting documents had been found wanting. Here is Brenna's response. As we have seen, the agency then relied upon Brenna's challenged supporting documents-- as stated in its "explanatory" note-- but simply lied about the "withheld amounts". Brenna shot back this tart and cogent response, making clear that she is in no way confused, ignorant or intimidated, and that's where things stand today. Plainly, this victory story (which, btw, mirrors that of Steve and Kristin Stackelhouse posted here just a few weeks ago) is to be continued... IN THE MEANTIME, GOTTA LOVE THIS HERO!! Brenna Wright stands tall in the ranks of all the good American men and women who are doing the Founders' work by binding down an out-of-control state with the chains of the Constitution. Brenna's victory joins those of the tens of thousands of other awakened and activated Americans represented here. Each constitutes another critical step toward the restoration of the Founders republic and the true rule of law. Don't you wish your victories were proudly posted, too? It's easy. Stand up on behalf of the law, and then share the evidence. That's all there is to it! AND, HEY! DON'T YOU WISH YOUR INSPIRING BEING-THE-STORM VIDEO was posted, like Brenna's?

****** 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. Click here for the rest of this article ***** 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.

Media Evasion Of CtC Must End, Now Time, unfortunately, is on the side of the well-funded disinformation specialists class
***** 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... *****

PLEASE CONTINUE TO DILIGENTLY SPREAD THE LIBERATING TRUTH ABOUT THE TAX!!!
***** 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. © All written and graphic material on this page and website are copyrighted by Peter E. Hendrickson, unless otherwise attributed. |
