July 13- In 1787, the Continental
Congress enacts the Northwest Ordinance, creating-- with the agreement of the
several states-- the first "United States territory" and providing for the
division of the territory into new union states fully equal in legal status to
the original 13 as soon as certain specified conditions are met. In 1863,
anti-conscription rioting begins in New York City. The riots, regarded as the
worst civil unrest in American history, ran for three days, and were of such
ferocity and size that authorities declared themselves unable to consider
martial law for lack of sufficient means to enforce it. In 2024, presidential
candidate Donald Trump appears to have been targeted by an assassin at a
campaign rally in Butler, PA, but odd features of the affair leave many
questioning its authenticity.

Every Year I Am Asked, "Does
It Still Work"?
Drives me crazy...
FOR EACH OF THE TWENTY-THREE YEARS
since first publishing 'Cracking
the Code- The Fascinating Truth About Taxation In
America'(CtC), I've gotten this same
question from someone (or more often many someones)--
generally in early Spring. "Early Spring" means
shortly before what is known as "Tax Day", and
before I have begun receiving victories to post
concerning the preceding year.
These inquiries are from folks who are
somehow aware of CtC but have yet to read the book
or study its massive body of supporting evidence--
both academic and practical-- and supplemental
material. They assume (often with the encouragement
of the army of trolls peppered throughout the "tax
honesty" and legal communities) that CtC constitutes
a trick of some kind by which the income tax system
is hoodwinked. Having not yet seen any victories
posted for the latest filing year, these anxious and
ignorant folks want to know if that's because the
government has caught on, and they must look
elsewhere for something that "works".
This Spring proved to be no exception,
and the anxieties reflected in these inquiries may
have been bigger than usual, with me being largely
off-line for the past 14 months thanks to
rotator-cuff surgeries-- first in May of last year,
and then on the other side this past January. But of
course, those anxieties-- bigger than usual though
they may have been-- are as groundless as usual,
because CtC is no trick. As all those who HAVE read
the book know, CtC is simply the law, plainly
presented after a knock-down of all the obfuscating
subterfuges with which it is hedged about by
governments who benefit from popular ignorance of
its nuances.
TRUTH BE TOLD, EVEN BEFORE MY recent
hiatus I had for some time been easing back on my
long-standing practice of posting new victory
examples throughout the year. When I hit year twenty
(in 2023), I decided that anyone who couldn't see
two decades of continuous capitulation to CtC by
federal and state tax agencies, punctuated only by
sporadic efforts to evade or balk without ever
actually disputing CtC's revelations and analyses,
and demonstrated across
1,500 fully-documented examples (including
many in which all that evasion and balkiness is
overcome) to be evidence enough was beyond being
reached. Such a person was incapable of being shown
the open door of the prison in which their ignorance
and fear confined them.
The subsequent volume of victory posts
dropped accordingly, as most of you will have
noticed.
AS IT HAPPENS, HOWEVER, this past week
I had three victories shared with me that I am
pleased to share with you, as well. Enjoy them, and
please be sure to share them widely, because these
particular three victories are especially-strong
demonstrations that the only trickery ever involved
has been that of the IRS.
JACQUES & PEGGY BOUDIN have just
secured the most recent of five complete federal
victories over the last two years, this one for
2025:
Here
is the filing by which Jacques & Peggy made this
claim. The special significance of this victory by
Jacques & Peggy lies not so much in this latest bow
by the IRS (pleasing though it is on its own merits)
but in the fact that over the course of this good
couple's educated march on behalf of the rule of law
they have been the beneficiaries of two especially
courteous concessions by the tax agency in which
computational errors in the government's favor made
by Jacques & Peggy have been corrected. The first
(which came only after some balky behavior by the
agency)
can be seen here.
Enjoy the second IRS fix in Jaques &
Peggy's favor
here (and find Jacques & Peggy's other victories
prior to the one posted above-- one of which issued
only after a year of stalling-- further down that
same page).
WELL DONE, Jacques & Peggy!!
***
BEN PEZZANO is the CtC Warrior who
shared the other two victories I post today, and
Ben's experience is the opposite of Jacque & Peggy
Boudin-- while delivering the same message. As in
Jacques & Peggy's case, two of Ben's victories have
been remarkable for IRS attention-- but in Ben's
case it was entirely adverse and corrupt attention,
lengthily dragged out until Ben's well-educated and
thoroughly upright perseverance in insisting that
the law be respected and upheld won the day.
The first of Ben's CtC-educated
victories was also the first of those two
battlegrounds.
It can be seen here. Ben's second victory, won
without fuss,
is posted here.
Ben's new victories are a return for
form by the IRS, with the first of them, for 2024,
being another battleground. The result was a
complete refund of everything withheld from Ben and
given over to the feds during 2024, plus interest:
Keeping with the pattern, even while
Ben was preparing his 2024 docs to send to me for
posting his 2025 refund arrived-- this one, like his
second, was secured with little fuss:
TAKEN TOGETHER, Jacques & Peggy's and
Ben's experiences of considerable IRS attention to
their perfectly unambiguous claims on multiple
occasions with the outcomes they produced
unmistakably prove the point. No tricks; just the
law.
I hope you all can make good use of all
of this to help other good Americans see the light.
Now, more than ever, we-- and our children-- need to
shake ourselves awake and step on the brakes of this
runaway train before it is too late. There's not
much time left.

AMERICA IS FACED WITH the
ever-increasing capture of governmental institutions
(and media) by utterly un-American Israel-First
Zionists-- a capture nicely illustrated in both its
pervasiveness and its perniciousness by the
inclusion of
Sec. 219 in this year's NDAA and the
House Rules committee decision to block Thomas
Massie's effort to get a vote on an amendment to
strip the section from the bill. In light of that
very dangerous situation, my Voter's Guide is as
simple as this:
Identify all candidates for
each position who give you reason to believe are
in no way beholden to, or biased in favor of,
Israel, or are sympathetic to Zionism in any
other way.
If there are none who
qualify, abstain. If there are one or more who
qualify, vote for the one, or for the most
Libertarian-leaning of the several qualified candidates,
regardless of any other position a qualified
candidate might hold.*
That's it, folks.
*I'm serious about the "regardless"
thing. Even if the candidate is an outright
communist, or Muslim, or whatever else you might
fear (rightly or wrongly), not enough of them could
possibly be elected to take over and work their will
at this point. The best we can hope for now is a
weakening of the stranglehold of the Zionist cult on
today's government, and any candidate ideology that
competes with that one will do.

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.
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
family members, your pastors and
co-congregationalists, journalists, lawyers, CPAs,
members of congress, tax-agency workers, Wikipedia,
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.
WRITE A NICE, FRIENDLY AND BRIEF introductory note
explaining what will be seen at the link-- cryptic
is bad; excited is good-- and then send this WMI

adherence to the rule of law. Real American men and women stand up for the
truth and the law, come what may, knowing that it is only by setting the bar
at the top and enforcing it, come what may, that liberties are secured.

It's A Race Between
Revolutionary Consciousness And The Implementation
Of Police Robots
by Caitlin Johnstone
John F Kennedy was correct
when he said “Those who make peaceful revolution
impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.”
That’s why police robots
are being aggressively normalized today. The empire
managers want to make sure violent revolution is
impossible, too.
The New York Times’ sports
department The Athletic has a creepy new article out
titled “The ‘Robodogs’
on World Cup patrol in Mexico” about how
wonderful and awesome it is that the international
soccer tournament is being patrolled by surveillance
robots.
The article is functionally
a PR piece for police robots, gushing about how
“cute” and “cool” onlookers find the dystopian
technology.
The piece opens with the
cheery paragraph, “A group of police officers
patrolling a stadium with three dogs on a World Cup
matchday wouldn’t usually raise eyebrows. But when
those three dogs are high-tech robots equipped with
video cameras that can sustain speeds of 20kmph, you
can understand the fuss.”
“The K9-Xs are made of
aluminium and high-strength plastic,” The Athletic
writes. “They have facial recognition and
behavioural analysis systems installed, which means
they detect when a group of people become agitated
and send video to the police force’s centre for
command, control, communication and computers.”
In a
video segment accompanying the article, The
Athletic’s Tomás Hill López-Menchero refers to the
robots as “creatures” and says the robots “went down
a treat with the public” in the World Cup audience.
It’s little things like
this that help normalize police robots in public
consciousness. Calling them “dogs”, giving them the
name “K9”, calling them “creatures” instead of
machines. It’s pretty clearly designed to evoke the
image of something normal that westerners are
familiar and comfortable with.
But westerners should not
feel familiar and comfortable with these things, and
we should not see them as normal. The fact that
we’re seeing
more and more use of police robots around the
world should frighten us all, and the fact that
popular institutions like the World Cup and the New
York Times are being used to normalize them should
freak us the hell out.
Our rulers are always
acutely aware that there are a whole lot more of us
than there are of them, and that we could turn on
them at any time. This has been the case for as long
as there have been rulers. History is full of
examples of the masses turning against their
government and establishing a new order, and the
oligarchs and empire managers have long been
preoccupied with the task of ensuring that this
never happens to them.
Autonomous killing machines
nullify many of the problems presented by human
security forces. You don’t have to worry about the
robot army siding with the people, or refusing to
fire upon their fellow citizens. An army of
militarized police robots would provide the
oligarchs and empire managers of the western empire
with a perpetually obedient force of bulletproof
trigger-pullers who can shut down any uprising when
the time comes.
The increasing
ubiquitousness of police robots is not separate from
the exploding prevalence of surveillance cameras and
AI facial recognition, the push for digital IDs and
the eradication of online anonymity, or the
increasing instances of online censorship and
Silicon Valley algorithm manipulation. A
technological cage
is being constructed around the public to ensure
that we can be stopped from turning against our
masters.
PRETTY WEIRD, WORRYING ABOUT ROBOT
DOGS, right? Not that long ago, such a concern would
qualify one for the tin-foil-hat epithet. But this
is not science fiction any more, and it's a deadly
serious threat, as Caitlin Johnstone very cogently
explains.
What is missing from Johnstone's
otherwise excellent presentation is a solution (or,
at least, a proposed path to a solution). I'm going
to briefly attempt to fill that void.
First, let's remember that the American
system is designed with recognition of the primacy
of the citizenry-- as individuals-- as its
foundation. A key aspect of that foundational
stature is the right of those citizens-- both in
their individual capacity and as organized by
themselves and per their own purposes and plans into
multi-person military units-- to be at military
parity with the state and its organs.
This military right is, of course,
reflected in the Second Amendment to the US
Constitution (and is found duplicated in most, if
not all, state Constitutions, as well), which the
Founders make perfectly clear stands against the
very government created by the Constitution (as well
as any other threat which might menace the people):
The strongest reason for the people
to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a
last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny
in Government.
-Thomas Jefferson
United States Supreme Court Justice
Joseph Story explains the matter well, in his
1833 'Commentaries On The Constitution Of The United
States':
The next amendment is: 'A well
regulated militia being necessary to the security of
a free state, the right of the people to keep and
bear arms shall not be infringed.'
The importance of this article will
scarcely be doubted by any persons, who have duly
reflected upon the subject. The militia is the
natural defence of a free country against sudden
foreign invasions, domestic insurrections, and
domestic usurpations of power by rulers. It is
against sound policy for a free people to keep up
large military establishments and standing armies in
time of peace, both from the enormous expenses, with
which they are attended, and the facile means, which
they afford to ambitious and unprincipled rulers, to
subvert the government, or trample upon the rights
of the people. The right of the citizens to keep and
bear arms has justly been considered, as the
palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it
offers a strong moral check against the usurpation
and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally,
even if these are successful in the first instance,
enable the people to resist and triumph over them.
As a practical matter-- and as messy a
proposition as it may seem to the crabbed minds of
the world's Hobbesians-- the principle behind the
Second Amendment means that the state, at any and
every level, and in all its security organs, should
not be permitted any means of violence and
compulsion which the people are unable to
overcome.
Sadly, this principle, though somewhat
honored by the lip now and then, is only left with a
semblance of real life by the fact that the folks
piloting the fighter jets and driving the tanks, of
which the general citizenry have none, are
themselves of the citizenry, and can choose to align
themselves accordingly and change the balance of
power should push really come to shove. But as
Johnstone observes, no such theoretical protection
exists when the despotic state's army or police
force is robotic.
Hence, until we all acquire our own
individual robotic soldiers, answerable only to
ourselves, or another practical and reliable means
of defeating a despotic cabal's robots, we have only
another foundational principle of the American
experiment to fall back upon as at least a
half-measure of defense: maximal federalism, by
which I mean the atomizing of all power structures
into the smallest possible units, each of which then
becomes a potential hindrance to, and check upon,
the ambitions and threats of the others.
HOW, YOU MIGHT ASK, can such a
prophylactic atomization be accomplished? Well, the
simplest and surest means is by cutting off the
resources by which the Leviathan state (and its
lesser, constituent statelets) have grown large and
powerful enough to be dominant over what otherwise
would be at least nominally competing aggregated
powers which are naturally closer to the people and
which could and should, with greater parity in size
and strength against shrunken states, be the
hindrances and checks required.
What is needed to accomplish that righteous
and critically-important resource cut-off 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
(and the various state houses)
may at present be Leviathans 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.
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.

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..."

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

July 14- In 1789, citizens of Paris
storm the Bastille (the national government prison in the city), release its
prisoners and begin the French Revolution. In 1798, the Sedition Act (part of
of "Alien and Sedition Acts"), an unconstitutional measure intended to stifle
criticism of the undeclared war on France being conducted by the Federalist
faction then in control of Congress and the Presidency, becomes "law".
Widespread opposition to these acts (and the policies they were intended to
shield) led to the extinction of the Federalist Party within a few short years.
(See 'Strolling Down Memory Lane' in 'Upholding
the Law And Other Observations' for more on this subject.) In 1881, Billy
the Kid is shot and killed by Pat Garrett. In 1969, United States Federal

July 15- In 1799, the Rosetta Stone is found in Rosetta, Egypt
by members of Napoleon's army. In 1959, 500,000 American steelworkers begin a
119-day strike, leading to the first, and ongoing, significant importation of
foreign steel into the country. In 2002,
John Walker Lindh
makes a coerced "guilty" plea as part of one of the first of a series of
criminal acts related to the neocon "War on Terrorism" for which the Bush
administration attempted to
retroactively immunize its operatives and office-holders as part of the 2006
Military Commissions Act.

There are real great deeds to be done,
and real treasures to be had for your efforts, and

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...

the capital of the United States. In 1935, the world's first parking meter is
installed Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. In 1945, the first nuclear weapon is

helping generate a buzz, you don't really want liberty and the
rule of law...

July 17- In 1794, sixteen Carmelite nuns are

apparently by the leaders of the United States-fomented coup which
overthrew the elected government of Ukraine the previous February. The
attack may have been a hit on the wrong plane in an effort to
assassinate Russian leader Vladimir Putin, who was travelling the same
route around the same time.

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.
