A "Right To Abortion" Is NOT
A "Right To Kill An Unborn Child" (Or Fetus, Or
Whatever Label You Prefer...)
Strange to hear, I know, but a legal
fact, nonetheless.
THROUGHOUT THE DECADES SINCE THE
ROE V. WADE DECISION, the two sides which
squared off over the issue of abortion became so
rigid with emotional and political investment in
their positions that a very key aspect of the
matter-- the real legal meaning of abortion, and its
implications-- has fallen into the cracks. It
never should have done so, but especially now, with
Roe undone, and battles arising in various states
over whether their Constitutions secure a "right to
abortion", this very important matter belongs center
stage in our conversation.
The fact is, "abortion" (as it relates
to a pregnancy) just means, "end the pregnancy". By
no means does it also, or inherently, or even at
all mean, "end the life of the unborn child".
A "right to abortion", even if "found"
in a state Constitution or enacted by a legislature,
is a right to cease carrying a child in the womb--
thus, ending the pregnancy, period. But just as your
right to expel a trespasser from your front lawn
doesn't equate to a right to summarily execute that
trespasser (even if doing so would be the most
convenient solution for you), so, too, a right to
expel an unwanted child from the womb is not a right
to do so violently, much less fatally.
A woman may have a right to terminate a
pregnancy. But she has no right to terminate a baby
(whether born or unborn).
CHECK ANY STATE LAW AT ISSUE and check
any judicial ruling at issue by which Constitutional
"rights to abortions" are found. See how they're
worded.
If an explicit "right" to kill the
unwanted child is not articulated, but only a "right
to abort", then that law or ruling does not even
purport to legalize killing a baby (or fetus, or
whatever).
If, on the other hand, a "right" to
kill an unwanted child is explicitly
articulated (as unlikely as I think that is), the
monster responsible should be immediately impeached
and ejected from civilized society, of course.
But more to the point, that law or
ruling should promptly be challenged on the basis of
such language, because if not necessitated by
life-threatening physical threat to the mother (in
which case no law or judicial support is relevant or
needed), such a killing is plainly indefensible and
cannot be a "right". Additionally, the principles of
law require that a solution to any valid claim of
one party (a right to be free of an unwanted
pregnancy) which has an adverse impact on any other
person (here, the baby, as well as, in many cases,
the father) must be made as minimal in its impact as
possible.
NOW, I KNOW THIS ALL WILL STRIKE MANY
as facetious. After all, we all know that what is
meant to be communicated (or not denied) by the
phrase "right to abortion" in the various laws and
rulings in which it appears is that it's okay for a
mother to deliberately kill an unborn baby. (And we
all know that as a practical matter, even gently
removing a baby from the womb before a certain point
in a pregnancy will inevitably result in its death).
But again, unless "it's okay for a
mother to deliberately kill an unborn baby" is
explicitly said, it is NOT what the law or ruling
permits (even if it DOES permit the inevitably fatal
removal of a child from a womb early in a
pregnancy).
And if anybody wants to contest the
assertion, they should be made to expressly say that
deliberately killing the child is what they are
after, and that a "right" to do so is how the phrase
"right to abortion" is to be understood. I don't
think too many will stoop to such an expression, or
be able to successfully defend it.
FINALLY, LET ME URGE EVERYONE TO take
these observations very seriously. The abortion
issue is a big deal, and remains one even after the
Dodd ruling by the Supreme Court. It is
also going to be a factor in the upcoming mid-term
elections.
Send this article (permalinked
here) to every candidate running for office this
autumn, and all incumbents not already shown to be
bereft of honesty on this subject or contemptuous of
the rule of law. Send it to every honest city,
county and state prosecutor and judge, and to every
pro-life organization and journalist.
The bad guys have enjoyed control of
the debate, by controlling the terms of the debate,
for far too long. That must and can be changed.
In every debate or ad in which this
matter arises or is addressed, the good guys and the
good cause could benefit from a relentless pointing
out that a "right to an abortion" is NOT a "right to
kill an unborn child". Likewise, the good guys and
the good cause could benefit from relentlessly
requiring opponents or adverse interviewers to
replace their euphemistic "right to choose" or
"right to an abortion" with "right to kill an unborn
child", if that's what they really mean.
On the other hand, the good guys and
the good cause could benefit very much from inducing
those on the other side to declare their
understanding of abortion to NOT include a "right"
to deliberately kill a child.
Spread this article around. Help make
these good things happen.

discussing in some depth how its widespread adoption
would play out, can be found-- and shared--

WHILE WE'RE ON THE SUBJECT of abortion,
I'd like to briefly remind everyone (or point out to
those too young to remember America before Roe)
that the absence of abortion availability produces
solid social benefits.
In the absence of abortion
availability, unmarried women are strongly
incentivized to chastity before marriage and,
because of the other powerful incentive in play, to
therefore comport themselves so as to be attractive
prospects for marital consideration by
marriage-worthy men. This means developing and
displaying all forms of good character and all the
socially-positive aspects thereof, including being a
loving spouse, cultivating instincts, habits and
practices of protection, loyalty and self-sacrifice
on behalf of her family, and supporting public
policies based on a long view into the future,
rather than those grounded in selfish and immediate
gratifications.
Men are compelled to chastity before

his family, and supporting public policies based on
a long view into the future, rather than those
grounded in selfish and immediate gratifications.
Infidelity bears a much greater risk of
exposure, and so, is discouraged, or if not, is
conducted with strict care to avoid conception. The
result is either less infidelity or fewer unintended
children-- both are positive outcomes.
None of this is to say that an absence
of institutionalized abortion results in an
automatic heaven on earth, of course. But while with
or without institutionalized abortion much bad will
remain in the world, in its absence the benefits of
which I speak are added to the mix, to one degree or
another.
America, I think, sorely needs those
benefits.

fountain is the righteous man who gives way before

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECTS of
the system of government established by America's
Founders and Framers is its discipline over the
federal government's access to resources. This
discipline is imposed in large part by two key
factors relating to each of the classes of taxation
permitted under the US Constitution.
One of those factors is that all
capitations and other direct taxes are made very
politically-sensitive in their imposition (and
effectively restricted to no more than can be borne
by the poorest states) via
the apportionment mechanism. The other
disciplining factor is that all other permitted
taxes are indirect imposts,
excises and duties. Such taxes are subject to
the control of individual citizens, each of whom
decides how much engagement in excise-taxable
activity will be undertaken, if any (a discipline
that extends to the several states, insofar as they
participate in income taxation).
As Hamilton put it in Federalist 21:
"Imposts, excises, and, in general,
all duties upon articles of consumption, may be
compared to a fluid, which will, in time, find its
level with the means of paying them. The amount to
be contributed by each citizen will in a degree be
at his own option, and can be regulated by an
attention to his resources."
It is by virtue of this disciplinary
structure that the United States can be kept secure
on the sovereign people's leash-- bound down from
mischief, as Jefferson put it, by the chains of the
Constitution. Today, we're going to celebrate a new
batch of American patriots who are doing this
critically-important work.
Danny Price
DANNY, SON OF THE EXCELLENT

which he reclaims everything withheld from him and
turned over to Missouri on the mistaken and rebutted
notion that Danny's economic activities during 2019,
2020 and 2021 had been of a taxable character (with
a little interest added on to the 2021 refund):
RYAN PRICE, DANNY'S BROTHER, also
shares a debut victory in enforcing the law on his

Here is the filing that secured this refund
victory (to which interest has been added due to the

TYLER & AMIZERO SHARE DEBUT VICTORIES
today. These victories were secured a month apart,
in May and June of 2022, despite one being for 2018

from North Carolina, secured by way of
this filing:
And here is the victory for 2018, from
New York, which the state very courteously increased
due to noticing and adjusting for something Tyler &
Amizero had overlooked when doing their filing, as
shown in
these adjustment notice documents:
WELL DONE, TYLER & AMIZERO!

Joel & Valerie Bliss
JOEL & VALERIE ALSO SHARE A DEBUT
VICTORY in upholding the law today, this one from
the feds, returning everything withheld during 2020,
plus interest, on
this
filing:
WELL DONE, JOEL & VALERIE!
***
WELL DONE, EVERYONE!
HATS VERY MUCH OFF to Danny, Ryan, Bob,
Tyler & Amizero, and Joel & Valerie! Their great
victories join those of the tens of thousands of
other awakened and activated Americans represented
here, and constitute more critical steps toward
the restoration of
the Founders republic and the true rule of law.
Their great activism and outreach drive everything
forward.
Remember, it's all about upholding the
law, and that is YOUR responsibility. Awakening
others to this high and honorable duty is the best
way to make it happen.

Not Letting This "Crisis" Go To Waste...
...an important action item opportunity.
FRIENDS, THE SPORADIC BITS OF EASING of the despotic measures to
which most of the country has been subjected under
the fraudulent mantle of
COVID-19 mitigation 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.
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.
"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
(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.
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.

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...
IF YOU'RE NOT SPREADING THIS LINK with every bit of
energy you can, to school libraries, homeschool
families and community groups, your neighbors, your

Anonymous, WikiLeaks, the Tax Foundation, everyone
in the "tax honesty" movement, the 9/11 truth
movement, other activist movements and everyone
else,
you have only yourself to blame for your
troubles with the tax, and a whole lot else of which
you might complain. It's on you.

explaining what will be seen at the link-- cryptic
is bad; excited is good-- and then send this WMI

at the top and enforcing it, come what may, that liberties are secured.

White Slaves And Other Inconvenient Historical
Facts
by Matt Walsh
...now proceed to the afterword below...
Afterword
"Those who can make you believe
absurdities can make you commit atrocities."
-Voltaire
MATT WALSH DOES A GREAT JOB summarizing the historical
reality about slavery as a world-wide, and thousands-of-years-pervasive
institution. And he does so for the right reason, having recognized the
pernicious character and effects of endless and deepening race-hustling
and guilt-mongering that has long-since eaten away much of what was once
American harmony and tranquility.
It may be hard for younger Americans,
and those with poor memories, to realize just how
much has been lost to the deliberate, nihilistic and
corrosive bile spewed upon us all over the last ten
years or so by way of utterly dishonest and
agenda-driven propaganda like "The 1619 Project" and
every purveyor of "Critical Race Theory" infesting
our schools and other public and even private
institutions. The damage is vast and deep and
deadly.
Corrective efforts like those
undertaken by Walsh in the video above are welcome
and important.
Indeed, I began this year's newsletters
with an "Other Voices" sharing commentary by George
Will on the subject of the "1619" attack. I follow
Will's comments up in my "Afterword" with excerpts
from the 1962 Encyclopedia Brittanica laying out the
inconvenient truth that the African slave trade
exploited by those bringing slaves to the Americas
in the 17th and 18th centuries involved Africans
enslaved by other Africans, who were then sold to
traders who brought them here (and elsewhere). I
recommend a look at those authoritative sources--
find
Will's article and my afterword with the Brittanica
articles here.
The truth is, America is the hero of
the slavery story. America was conceived and
established under principles inherently antithetical
to slavery. Those principles worked (coincidentally
with similar concurrent but uncoordinated efforts by
Great Britain, another major white European ancestry
power) over the course of a mere few decades to
bring about the collapse of slavery not only in
America itself but throughout the better part of the
world where previously it had been ensconced for all
of recorded history and doubtless deep into
unrecorded history.
THE PROBLEM OF SLAVERY TODAY is in the
pervasive disinformation on the subject churned out
by malefactors as described above and deployed as a
weapon against American stability. This assault is
accomplished by exploiting the consolidation of
impressionable young minds into government schools
where propaganda can be delivered and embedded
wholesale and without hindrance, and by exploiting
the capture of mainstream media organs by the state,
which uses those media organs for the same ends
against the adult population.
It should go without saying that among
other responses, mature and well-meaning Americans
should cease to volunteer the resources by which
these destructive propagandistic efforts are made
possible. It is, I do not hesitate to say, the civic
duty of all good Americans to do so.
One simple act by each individual
American will do the trick, and it needs no approval
or agreement from any institutional authority. That one
simple thing will function as a catalyst, compelling
the beneficial reorganization of our whole societal
and political structure as a natural and inevitable
process.

solution in

Lincoln, in announcing his willingness to burn the Southern states to the ground in order to

service to the Founders design of leaving control over the fuel
available to feed the fires Washington wants to light in the hands

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!
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!)
Btw, a copy of
CtC from anywhere except the link above may not
be a current edition. CHECK. It matters. Also, there ARE no
e-book, Kindle or .pdf versions of
CtC.
Don't get taken in by efforts to sell you-- or even give you for
free-- any such thing.
August 16- In 1780, the British defeat
the revolutionary Americans at Camden, South Carolina. In 1841, John Tyler
vetoes a bill attempting to re-establish the Second Bank of the United States
(which had been de-funded 8 years prior by Andrew Jackson). Hamiltonians
rioted, but to no avail. In 1954, the 3.5-million-word IRC of 1954 replaces the
far more transparent 1939 version as the official prima facie evidence of the
underlying revenue laws of the United States. In 1955, yours truly is born

listen!
You are surrounded by an actual battle between
villains, monsters and true heroes, all simply concealed
from you by
sophisticated spells which also keep you from
engaging in the fight.
There are real great deeds to be done,
and real treasures to be had for your efforts, and

is at stake. You just have to gain "the sight" in order to
penetrate the illusions.

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...

Illuminating Anniversaries of this week:
August 18- In 1587, Virginia Dare becomes the first child of
English ancestry born on American soil. In 1909, Yukio Ozaki, the mayor of
Tokyo, presents 2,000 cherry trees to Washington, D.C.. President Taft has them
planted along the Potomac. In 2008, the president of Pakistan, Pervez Musharaf,
resigns upon being faced with impeachment.
If you're not talking this one up everywhere and
helping generate a buzz, you don't really want liberty and the
rule of law...

In light of
the actual evidence, those
who doubt or
deny the accuracy and correctness of
CtC just because some government officials
denounce it are like the 16th-century Europeans who
were mystified by
Copernicus getting all those
astronomical predictions right even though the
church had said he was wrong.

the United Kingdom. In 1934, Hitler's office as Fϋhrer of Germany is
approved by 89.9% of the electorate. In 1953, the CIA succeeds in

members of his administration attempting to thwart the collapse of the

leave Iraq under the pretense that the U.S. was de-occupying the
devastated country and allowing it to resume self-determination.
Actually, vast numbers of United States mercenary and uniformed forces
remained in the conquered country (at least 50,000).

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."

Adams, Architect of the first American Revolution

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.
