"There are two distinct classes of men...those who pay taxes and those who receive and live upon taxes."

-Thomas Paine

 

You can't understand the present if you don't understand the past...

Illuminating anniversaries of this week:

May 18- In 1302, the militia of Bruges, a city in the Flemish region of Belgium, massacre the troops of a French garrison quartered there to to prevent "smuggling" and ensure that imported wool passed through the hands of politically-connected favorites before reaching politically-UNconnected buyers in the city.  In 1631, John Winthrop becomes the first Governor of Massachusetts.  In 1917, after only 32,000 Americans had volunteered to personally support the Wilson administration's desire to get involved in Europe's "World War I", the "Selective Service Act" is passed.  Despite a complete lack of Constitutional authority (and a plain prohibition in the 13th Amendment), the act purports to authorize conscription.  Subsequently, 2,800,000 American men were impressed into the army under the auspices of the act over the following two years.  Of those sent into battle, more than 116,000 were killed, and more than 205,000 sustained wounds but are categorized as survivors.  In 1927, a Michigan school-board member who blames a school-funding property-tax increase for foreclosure proceedings against his farm explodes bombs in and near a local school, killing 45 and injuring 58.  In 1974, India conducts its first nuclear weapon test detonation.

What REAL America Looks Like

I'm SO tired of feeling stuck on the set of a low-budget horror film... or trapped in an insane asylum...

THE PHOTO ABOVE is of the excellent Jeremy Lee's picture window, and what a picture it is! American as apple pie, and 1000% healthier than the cramped and creepy little spider-hole that every pearl-clutching idiot victimized by panic propaganda and the opportunistic political hacks exploiting it have been pushing on this great country.

Jeremy urges everyone to produce his or her own window sign announcing their true feelings, and I heartily second that notion. Statements like these should be everywhere-- in windows, on yard signs, on vehicles and even on T-shirts. I don't know if Michael's or Joann's are open, or if they have succumbed to the Blob, but even if the latter, white T-shirts and magic markers can be gotten at any Meijer's or Walmart...

THAT SAID, AND WITHOUT IN ANY WAY DIMINISHING my heartfelt "Namaste" to Jeremy and everyone else making virtuous statements like his, I have to take things a step further today. At the time of this posting we are on the eve of the 60th day of "lockdown". That's 60 days during which grossly-illegal edicts from "officials" in various posts across America have been fastened upon us, and have been ferociously eating away at our substance.

That "eating away" is being concealed somewhat by the accompanying illegal acts of printing vast new deeply-inflationary amounts of pretend money which is being passed out to people who have been ordered to watch their businesses and jobs wither away into dust, as though they (the people, the businesses and the jobs) belonged to the state, which can therefore destroy them at its pleasure.

EVEN MORE SIGNIFICANT is the eating-away at American understanding of the rule of law. During the last 60 days millions of younger Americans-- who have never been taught, in the government schools to which they were delivered every day throughout their formative years, a single valid thing about where "officials" get their authority and how it is constrained-- have been being conditioned to accept the notion that people and people's businesses belong to the state, which can therefore destroy them at its pleasure.

The assault on America taking place today is as serious as a heart attack, and it is worsening in the harm it is already doing and the further harm it threatens for the future each and every day you allow it to go on.

WHAT'S MORE, be aware that the little bits of "easing" of the illegal oppressions that have lately taken place here and there are actually worsening the situation.

Such "easings" reinforce the message that what is "locked down" and what isn't, and to what degree in each case, is the rightful decision of government officials. Further, the "easings" allow people to delude themselves into concluding that the oppressions really aren't so bad, and can be overlooked, 'cause it'll all turn out okay in the end.

In short, the "easings" acclimate even those who have been chafing under the harness to usurpations by the state. They sow confusion in many minds as to what is lawful under the Constitution. They sow confusion as to what can or should be tolerated and what cannot be, and should instead excite a good American's stern and unyielding resistance.

The security of our liberties (such as we have left) won't long survive such confusion becoming ingrained in much of the population. Understanding what is and isn't lawful, and being free from any confusion on the question, is really important for American republic health.

SO, HAS EVERY ONE OF YOU READ this information? Do so.

Do so again, even if you have already seen it, or think you have. It's REALLY important that you know plainly and confidently that what is being done by every official who even merely threatens to arrest anyone who exercises any of his or her rights is without authority and that to submit to any of it is a violation of your duty as a good American and a good person.

As Thomas Jefferson said, in no way whatever meaning it as just a pithy turn of phrase, "Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God."

After you've done that reading or re-reading, SEND AN EMAIL OR TEXT SHARING THE LINK WITH EVERY SINGLE PERSON YOU CAN!! It's important that you understand and are confident in your understanding of the law. But is is DOUBLY important that you SHARE THAT KNOWLEDGE AND CONFIDENCE WITH OTHERS, and encourage them to do the same.

Everyone whose email address or text number that you have needs to be reminded or awakened to the fact that the whole idea of Constitutions is that even if huge majorities decide that something is now a great-- or even critically-important-- idea, it still can't lawfully be done if it violates any Constitutional prohibition. Each such prohibition was put in place after deep, highly-educated and sober consideration, in light of long experience with despots and demagogues, and in recognition that the principles and powers thus secured are more critical to the well-being of the people than any momentary threat which might arguably be addressed by the prohibition's disregard.

OK, THAT COVERS THE LAW. Now, let's talk about the science.

I know you've all seen-- to the point of vomiting-- the same smarmy officials who are guilty of promoting or committing the illegal "lockdown" decrees making noises with their mouths about the importance of decision-making being driven by "the science". Well, ok...

Let's leave aside the absurdity of treating someone else's notion (or theory or computer model) of what is or is not "wise" or "prudent" as the determinant of whether the government must respect your rights. Let's look at what "the science"-- that is, the actual factual record-- shows us.

What we see in the actual fact record-- shown here, here and especially here, for instance-- is that C19 is just a particularly mild version of the seasonal flu. The actual death rate, corrected for the officially-encouraged rampant figure-padding by which it is plagued (pun intended), is very low, and is far-and-away concentrated exclusively in an elderly demographic which is at all times in a state of vulnerability whether C19 is about or not.

What we see in the actual fact record is a disease we are well-accustomed to handling as a matter of routine, without "lockdowns", "social distancing", "mandatory masking" or "contact tracing", and without massive money-printings or bailouts.

We see in the actual fact record a minor disease for which there is no imperative for the development of a vaccine. This is true both because the disease is not a threat of any kind to 90% of the population, and in light of the fact that even when coronavirus vaccines have been developed and encouraged for other variants, few people consider them worth taking and they have proven to be only marginally-to-somewhat effective even in those who get them, as admitted even by the CDC:

To sum up, "the science"-- never a proper metric by which government's obligation of respect for Americans' rights can be measured even if it plausibly predicted we all would die unless we do as we're told in any event-- says that everything that has been done by hobgoblin-flogging "officials" has been irrational and unjustified and even bat-shit crazy anyway, even without consideration of the fact that those "officials" lacked valid authority for doing any of it.

NOW, TO RETURN TO MY MAIN POINT from those needed debunks of the lame and lying pretenses by which the bad actors in this drama attempt to justify themselves: What is going on in America today has passed the point of forbearance. Being vocal and otherwise expressive (as in Jeremy Lee's excellent signage, above) is good and proper. But it is no longer enough.

It is time for Americans to stop playing along with the idea that what is going on is a benign and acceptable usurpation that either is meant to be for our own good or is accomplishing anything which is, on balance good at all. It is certainly NOT accomplishing anything good, on balance-- rather, it is doing HUGE HARM each and every moment. And there is plenty of evidence that it is not even really intended to do anything but serve certain narrow agendas against the contrary interests of most Americans, if not simply to set up pretexts for huge handovers of public money to favored clients of Leviathan.

It is time for Americans to stop putting up with this.

Sadly, Americans with brains in their heads have been cowed into ruinous quiescence, waiting endlessly for the personal abuses and the economic and legal destruction to end of their own accord. But the record of world history tells us that they will not. As Frederick Douglass wisely observed many years ago:

"Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have the exact measure of the injustice and wrong which will be imposed on them, and these will continue till they have been resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they suppress."

The quiescence must end.

I CAN'T SAY WHAT ANYONE SHOULD DO (other than really, really, really spread the word on how each weary-of-tyranny American can act to shrink the Leviathans that have imposed these harms upon us all). But I can point out the wrongness of snowflake accusations that people who don't "social distance" or mask themselves are "selfish", when it is those who support throwing others out of work and out of their businesses in hope of protecting themselves from getting sick that are really the selfish ones.

Such selfishness should be called-out, in my opinion.

I can point out that businesses impose "mask" requirements and "social distancing" nonsense on their own call, at least in many places. Even here in Michigan, which has become a poster-child for how deep and broad oppressive and irrational government decrees can get, a refusal to abide by these demands merely gives the store owner the state's permission to throw out a noncompliant customer.

It might accomplish a lot for such store owners to be told in no uncertain terms that the first of their category to no longer make such demands will be the new shopping destination of the aggrieved customer, who will never return thereafter.

I can point out that one of the most heartwarming things I have seen over the last few weeks has been a video of perhaps 150 Californians milling about in discontent on the boardwalk of a closed beach swarm onto the shingle (and in many cases into the forbidden water, too) as soon as one brave woman defied the considerable police presence on the scene, took her protest sign out onto the sand, and began to be arrested by three cops.

THIS COMMENTARY HAS BECOME LONG, and though I could go on and on, thanks to the subject matter and my passion about it, I will bring it to a close. But I will do so with an invitation to everyone to read just a little more.

What I offer now are the words of the great 20th Century thinker C.S. Lewis (to which I have added a few at the end related to the subject of the tax but which are in their essence just as apt to the currently raging C19 scam). I think you will enjoy it and I think that perhaps you will find much of value to be taken from it.

Not Letting This "Crisis" Go To Waste...

...an important action item opportunity.

FRIENDS, THE BIT OF EASING of the despotic measures to which most of the country has been subjected this spring 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], over the last several months 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.

"It is not the function of our Government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the Government from falling into error."

-United States Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson

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.

Leadership is a challenge. But it's not complicated, and you can do it.

Newly added to The Hysteria Supplement:

The Ongoing Effort To Leverage Months of Conditioning Into Residual Despotism

Persistent number-fudging keeps the panic alive and the populace largely compliant as the chains are fastened in place.

Saturday, May 16, 2020: AS OF THIS MORNING, THE CDC IS REPORTING 85,990 total deaths from C19 in the USA:

...but note the asterisk below that big scary number (which is actually a typical figure for seasonal flu mortality) and alongside the "2,043 New Deaths" assertion. Clicking on the "About the Data" link below that asterisk takes us to this:

"As of April 14, 2020, CDC case counts and death counts include both confirmed and probable cases and deaths." How about that?

And let's look at the definitions. "Probable" includes cases in which no testing has been done to actually confirm that C19 was even present, much less that it was the cause-- or even just among the causes-- of a fatality. But that fatality is added to the scary death count anyway.

In fact, these merely "probable" C19 fatalities have actually been being added since March 4, per this CDC instruction, which was then emphasized a few weeks later with this follow-up (perhaps because we didn't see quite a satisfactory bounce in the panic-fanning "C19-is-the-PLAGUE!!" numbers, which may also explain the re-iteration in the April 5 "position statement" summarized in the screenshot above). (Highlighting in those two notices is mine.)

So, the frightening figure of 85,990 deaths is NOT the number of actual known C19 fatalities. Instead it includes not only folks who had tested positive for having the disease-- which by itself doesn't mean that they died from it, only that it was present-- but also folks for whom there is no evidence that they were infected with C19 at all.

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)

Virus Of Mass Destruction

by C.J. Hopkins

There comes a point in the introduction of every new official narrative when people no longer remember how it started. Or, rather, they remember how it started, but not the propaganda that started it. Or, rather, they remember all that (or are able to, if you press them on it), but it doesn’t make any difference anymore, because the official narrative has supplanted reality.

You’ll remember this point from the War on Terror, and specifically the occupation of Iraq. By the latter half of 2004, most Westerners had completely forgotten the propaganda that launched the invasion, and thus regarded the Iraqi resistance as “terrorists,” despite the fact that the United States had invaded and was occupying their country for no legitimate reason whatsoever. By that time, it was abundantly clear that there were no “weapons of mass destruction,” and that the U.S.A. had invaded a nation that had not attacked it, and posed no threat to it, and so was perpetrating a textbook war of aggression.

These facts did not matter, not in the slightest. By that time, Westerners were totally immersed in the official War on Terror narrative, which had superseded objective reality. Herd mentality had taken over. It’s difficult to describe how this works; it’s a state of functional dissociation. It wasn’t that people didn’t know the facts, or that they didn’t understand the facts. They knew the Iraqis weren’t “terrorists.” At the same time, they knew they were definitely “terrorists,” despite the fact that they knew that they weren’t. They knew there were no WMDs, that there had never been any WMDs, and still they were certain there were WMDs, which would be found, although they clearly did not exist.

The same thing happened in Nazi Germany. The majority of the German people were never fanatical anti-Semites like the hardcore N.S.D.A.P. members. If they had been, there would have been no need for Goebbels and his monstrous propaganda machine. No, the Germans during the Nazi period, like the Americans during the War on Terror, knew that their victims posed no threat to them, and at the same time they believed exactly the opposite, and thus did not protest as their neighbors were hauled out of their homes and sent off to death camps, camps which, in their dissociative state, simultaneously did and did not exist.

Afterword

I'VE SAID IT BEFORE and I can't help but say it again-- I'm so very happy to have found C.J. Hopkins! The guy has such a good touch with his clear-eyed presentation!!

Normally, Hopkins starts off with well-tuned satire before moving into the more serious darkness of his real message. In this case he starts pretty dark and stays there, with the satire coming later and with much more a worried air than a whimsical one.

The fact is, the provocation for this piece is pretty damn dark. Hopkins, an astute observer, is very aware that America is getting very far down a very dangerous path right now, and it shows, as it should.

I HOPE THAT YOU ALSO realize how dangerously far this beloved country of ours has let itself be led onto thin ice over cold water right now. Whether we survive this assault will depend on what each of us does right now to get us back to shore (and what we encourage as many others as possible to do, too).

There is a predisposition of many folks to just view it all from a state of mild delusion, as though what is happening is some kind of reality TV show we are watching, and to which we can afford to pay no more attention than we find comfortable. That delusional perspective is the goal of all the 24/7 propaganda about being "in this together" and "stay home to stay safe" and so forth being thrummed out by those who benefit from the quiescence of those whose world is being burned down around them.

Each of us who knows better must grab such folks by the lapels and shake them awake, or at least (and in any event) lead by example. I'll say it again: the danger is very real.

I HOPE EVERYONE WILL REFLECT HARD on the fact that those threatening our well-being are empowered to do so solely by our cooperation, and more, that in almost all cases, our cooperation with bad state policies is secured by false pretenses and our ignorance of the law. Indeed, it is our ignorant cooperation with the state's extraction of our wealth that allows Leviathan to exist at all, with its terrible and voracious appetites, and its lust to dominate and decree.

If more Americans understood how, as a matter of law, their resources and wealth are yielded-up to Leviathan entirely by their choice, and that they have every right and power under the law to snap shut the purse and let the beast shrink back down from 8,000 lb. do-what-I-want gorilla to Constitutionally-intended "public-servant" size-- I think we would see a change in the world for the better.

Needless to say, YOU can be an agent of that change.

Spread this introduction to the remedy, as hard and fast as you can.

P.S. For more thoughts and facts regarding the Covid-Craziness, see this supplement.

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.

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!

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...

(Edward Snowden, come home! It was all just a bad dream; there really is No Such Agency!)

May 19- In 1848, Mexico ratifies the treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo, selling California, Nevada, Utah and much of the rest of the Southwest to the United States for $15 million (albeit as the loser in the Mexican-American war being concluded by the same treaty).  In 1921, the "Emergency Quota Act" is passed, restricting immigration into the United States from any country to no more than 3% of the total existing immigrant population of America of that national origin as reported in the census of 1910.  In 1922, the Soviet Union's "Young Pioneer" national youth service corps is established.  In 1962, Marilyn Monroe croons 'Happy Birthday' to JFK.

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...

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.
