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!

Every Which Way But Loose A hardy warrior for the truth weathers years of corrupt IRS browbeating to emerge $121K+ victorious in the end. HERE'S A STORY I AM ESPECIALLY DELIGHTED to report: Dane La Vigne, excellent son of excellent father Don, of whose inspiring testimonial video I am particularly fond, has secured a hard-fought victory after a long, utterly obnoxious effort by the IRS to capture from him a pile of money the agency eventually admitted he had never owed. Dane's story joins the several dozen others I have been pleased to post over the years in my 'Every Which Way But Loose' (EWWBL) collection. All are episodes of special virtue in illustrating government agreement with all that is taught in CtC-- both as to the law and as to the proper and effective means of invoking and enforcing the law-- beyond the denial of all but the utterly brain-dead. Like the other episodes in the EWWBL series, Dane's 2014 adventure documents intense IRS attention to his filing and all things with which it is concerned. This attention was for the explicit purpose of imposing a tax on Dane measured by his considerable receipts during that year from activities of the same sort conducted by millions of other Americans every year. Because Dane, unlike most Americans, is CtC-educated, he knows the truth about the income tax along with all the intimate and critical details of tax law. In the face of Dane's knowledge and steadfastness, the IRS effort collapsed. THAT TAX AGENCY COLLAPSE-- plainly done with eyes wide open--
Whether they take the form of
bogus "frivolous return
penalties", falsifications and
co-options of
corrupt jurists, or in any other form, those pretenses are desperate frauds.
"The Tax Code represents the genius of legal fiction... The IRS has never really known why people pay the income tax... The IRS encourages voluntary compliance, through FEAR." -Jack Warren Wade Jr., former IRS officer in charge of the IRS Nationwide Revenue Officer Training Program
"If the taxpayers of this country ever discovered that we operate on 98% bluff, the entire system will collapse." -Reported remark by an internal revenue service officer to Sen. Henry E. Bellmon (R. Okla.) on April 15, 1971. It's not all bluff, of course-- there's a lot of trickery involved, too. But CtC teaches how the bluff and the trickery both work, and shows the reader the unique means by which the presumptions on which both depend can be nullified. Aren't you glad you're CtC-educated? Don't you wish everyone was? Anyway, let's get back to Dane... DANE'S DELIGHTFUL VICTORY concerns his $230,000 or so in earnings during 2014. To begin with, the IRS initially admitted Dane's earnings were not "income" (in the sense of being income tax relevant). The agency had dutifully refunded the $1,000 deposit Dane had sent in with his application for a filing date extension in April of 2015 and then reclaimed on his return filed later that year. It was thus (and properly) agreed that Dane's earnings were not of the specialized variety received for the performance of taxable activities, and by which a resulting tax liability could be measured. But in 2016, some bad apple at the IRS decided to pretend the agency had made a big mistake and try to herd Dane back into a copper-top pod. The campaign began with this:
...to which Dane responded with this, the following October. Meantime, a "proposed change" notice was run up the flagpole:
It was hoped that Dane would be overawed by this "official" expression, abandon his own knowledge of the provisions and particulars of the relevant law, and salute the "proposal" like a good little soldier given orders from above. Not Dane. This man IS a good soldier-- but not the little kind who worships at the altar of the state. Dane is a good soldier of the Founders' republic. He is a big, grown-up, real American man whose salutes are reserved for the principles of liberty and the rule of law. Dane stood his ground and stuck to what he himself had learned to be true, by his own study and verification and reliance on his God-given powers of reason. After three long years of increasingly strident harassment and repeated officious pronouncements, including, among much else back and forth, this:
...this:
...this:
...this:
(to which Dane responded months later with a FOIA request for documents related to these purported assessments, and for which he received this in reply) ...this:
...this:
...this:
...and this:
...the IRS bluff, trickery and intimidation project collapsed a few weeks ago, ending with these two flat-out white-flag acknowledgements:
It was a long ordeal for Dane, but a capital victory in the end. Perseverance won this battle, as it does every battle with adversaries whose only weapons against solid, well-grounded and accurate knowledge of the law are fear and bluster.
Dane is still waiting for the other shoe to drop on the pretended "frivolous return penalty", giving him a chance to demand a hearing and start that nonsense on its way off-stage. Maybe that one will just ease off on its own steam, under the circumstances...
IN THE MEANTIME, GOTTA LOVE THIS HERO!! Dane La Vigne 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. Dane'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 proud father Don's? This is easy to do, and very important (plus it can get you some great losthorizons swag!). See (and carefully read in their entirety) these guidelines and encouragements.

Copy and paste this meme everywhere, people... P.S. IT WILL BE NOTED that I have not posted most of Dane's responses to the notices shown in the article above. In fact, I haven't posted every notice and letter and what-have-you that Dane received over his three-year battle, either. The reason for this is simple: I have observed over the years that my posting of such docs often has the perverse effect of leading some folks to forego actually studying and acquiring ownership of the knowledge on which proper responses and proper positions and arguments is grounded. Instead, some folks just mimic (virtually copying and pasting, in some cases) whatever they most recently see associated with a victory, imagining that whatever that is, it's what they should be doing themselves. Such "free-riding" is a mistake, and I warn against it here and in every seminar. The idea of such free-riding also reflects a misunderstanding of battles such as Dane's. Here is what SHOULD be understood: Dane did not deploy a secret word, or special deep magic to get to his victory. Once Dane filed his accurate and proper CtC-educated tax return he had done all the "magic" involved here. The rest was just a matter of Dane standing his ground and making sensible and informed use of the resources to be found here, something he was able to do by diligently studying that material. It is only those proper beginnings and sensible practices that should be learned and copied from Dane's victory by anyone else. P.P.S. I WILL MAKE ONE EXCEPTION to my decision about Dane's responses discussed above by relating that while he did respond with an objection letter, Dane did not petition Tax Court in response to the CP3219A he received, the cover page of which is amongst the notices shown above. I mention this for two reasons-- neither of which is to be taken as approving or disapproving Dane's decision, or as assigning it any special significance in the outcome of Dane's situation. The first of those reasons is to keep it from being erroneously assumed that Dane DID go to court as a part of the process toward his victory. Whether a good call or not a good call, he did not, and that should be clear. The other reason for this exception is to give me a chance to share a few comments about the form "CP3219A" that Dane received, something new-ish to the CtC community, and about which I have therefore not written previously. What is notable about this form is that unlike a normal Notice of Deficiency, the "CP3219A" is generated by a largely automated process (as part of the IRS 'Automated Underreporter Program'), without even the pretense of any actual "examination" or "determination". Because of these characteristics, the "CP3219A" appears on its face to be fundamentally arbitrary and capricious, declaredly reflecting nothing more than a self-serving tax agency preference for "information return" allegations by which the agency gets revenue over the testimony of a filer by which it does not. (This as opposed to the conventional 3219, in which the same self-serving subjective preferences operate, but do so concealed behind some deniability-generating window-dressing.) Discussion and legal material regarding the high significance of the "arbitrary and capricious" thing can be found here. CARE TO COMMENT on this article? Click here.

****** 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. |
