A Stinging Rebuke; And A Shameful Hypocrisy

The "pandemic" is a lie. The official responses are ruinous and illegal-- even Michigan's Supreme Court says so in no uncertain terms. It's time and past time to stop being an enabler and start being a rock on which the tide of despotism breaks.

LET'S START WITH the "stinging rebuke"...

Last night I was very pleased to be able to post this on my twitter feed:

Tens of thousands of Italian business owners and hundreds of thousands of patrons defy lockdown in a simultaneous, "We're mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore!" starting this past Friday. See the video report here.

Pleased for the Italians, that is.

WERE TWITTER NOT obnoxiously confined to little more than bumper-sticker volumes of text (unlike, for instance, GAB which unfortunately was down last night due to the flood of new signs-ups going on-- follow my GAB feed here) I would have gone on to say:

Good for the Italians! But I thought AMERICA was the land of the free and home of the brave... Learn the truth about the pandemic here.

Seriously. After watching that video report on the fed-up, and grown-up, Italians, think about the rebuke their courage offers to American timidity and acquiescence in the face of uniformly illegal "lockdown" edicts.

HOW PATHETIC WE ARE in our supposed "leadership of the free world". We are proving unworthy of the liberty won for us by the sacrifices of our ancestors-- and this is why it is being so easily stolen away from us.

Pathetic.

***

SO, ON TO THE shameful hypocrisy.

Last week Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer's right-hand henchwoman Attorney General Dana Nessel snootily and opportunistically charged former Republican governor Rick Snyder with criminal willful neglect of duty. The charges concern the response of the Snyder administration to a long-festering problem with the city water supply in Flint, Michigan, and a persistent Legionnaire's disease infection in Flint's McLaren Hospital.

It's an odd kind of charge to begin with; that kind of sniping from a succeeding administration against a predecessor is rare. Further, Nessel's own boss and fellow-traveler, Gretchen Whitmer, could easily be charged with a similar offense in regard to at least the McLaren issue, which continues to this day. But that's not the real problem...

HERE'S THE THING: Nessel's charge specifically accuses Rick Snyder over his willful neglect of "his mandatory legal duties under the Michigan constitution and the Emergency Management Act, thereby failing to protect the health and safety of Flint's residents," per Michigan Solicitor General Fadwa Hammoud as quoted in the January 14 Detroit News.

Just three months ago Michigan's Emergency Powers Of Governor Act-- the precursor to the Emergency Management Act-- was found to be unconstitutional by Michigan's Supreme Court. The case involved was brought against Gretchen Whitmer's unlawful reliance upon the EPGA's purported authority in issuing her blizzard of invalid "lockdown" and "mask-mandate" edicts over the last ten months.

Nessel has studiously ignored the ruling and declined to bring charges against Whitmer for her defiance in continuing to issue exactly the same orders (now through the mouth of a subordinate). This neglect is a despicable hypocrisy.

Snyder may or may not have done wrong-- future legal proceedings will provide the opportunity for that determination to be made. But Whitmer surely is doing so, and with devastating consequences state-wide.

But the latter offenses, which are being committed RIGHT NOW, and which-- unlike the handling of the Flint issues-- actually can be mitigated, with the destruction and contempt for the law brought to heel, RIGHT NOW are being ignored. Apparently, this is because Whitmer's offenses are those of Nessel's political ally, or because Nessel herself approves of the crimes.

AT LEAST NESSEL'S SELECTIVE EXERCISE of her office may bring us to an apt irony, as well. It has to be imagined that her own successor may end up bringing charges against Nessel herself for criminal neglect of duty, in turn (and for her more directly personal crimes of pretending that Whitmer's edicts can be lawfully enforced).

That's not much of a happy thought, it must be admitted...

But times are very bad in Michigan right now, thanks to Whitmer's defiance of the law and Nessel's negligence. It's good to think that the future holds at least one thing to which we can all look forward.

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 this year 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.

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

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.

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...

Heldover:

Let's Play A Disinformation Game

By L. Reichard White

We’re well into a serious case of panic-driven pandemic, powered by fear, sustained by arrival of seasonal flu, and amplified by confirmation bias.

One group — the newsies and politicians — have something else to fear besides just the virus. That’s the public reaction when folks finally realize how those people have bamboozled them into abject poverty, 270 million facing starvation, and even death.

Because it’s not the virus that’s causing this, it’s the pseudo-scientific Narrative Pandemic with its lockdowns, etc, foisted on us by the political class and amplified by a compliant corps of MSM (Main Stream Media) presstitutes.

As multi-credentialed Dr. Roger Hodkinson put it, “this is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on an unsuspecting public.“ He has a few other interesting things to say in that clip as well.

In fact anti-mask-and-lockdown riots in such refined countries as Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Great Britain, and even Chile, to name a few, suggest those two classes of ne’er-do-wells have good reason to be nervous.

And, in case you think the dissenters are just an uninformed rabble — and I’m undependable fake news — as of December 23, 2020, there are more than 760,000 folks, including 39,384 Medical practitioners, 13,035 Medical & Public Health Scientists and 709,443 concerned citizens — so far — who signed The Great Barrington Declaration, dissing The Establishment’s alarmist, misleading and destructive handling of COVID-19. It says in part,

“Current lockdown policies are producing devastating effects on short and long-term public health … with the working class and younger members of society carrying the heaviest burden.” and “with the underprivileged disproportionately harmed.” …”Indeed, for children, COVID-19 is less dangerous than many other harms, including influenza. ” …”Those who are not vulnerable should immediately be allowed to resume life as normal."

And there’s the economic devastation, mentioned previously, as well – – –

The UK’s envoy [Dr. David Nabarro] to the World Health Organisation (W.H.O.) has condemned mass coronavirus lockdowns, slamming the “ghastly global catastrophe” caused by crashing the world economy. –W.H.O. Condemns Coronavirus Lockdowns, ‘Doubling’ Global Poverty

So now, more than ever, the newsies and elected prevaricators desperately need to defend their destructive policies and find confirmations supporting their COVID-19 legends, myths and bald-faced lies, especially their 10 times more devastating than the virus and ineffective lockdowns.

Or they need to imagine more confirmations into existence. They seem to have a preference for the imagination route, probably because that’s easier — and legitimate supporting evidence for the Official Narrative is hard to find.

So, the thing to remember when you see any politician or MSM newsie with lips moving about “THE PANDEMIC,” whatever comes out is likely powered by the need to confirm their previous COVID-19 legends, myths and lies and will likely be wrong, distorted and usually legitimate-evidence free.

With that in mind, let’s play a game – – –

CAN YOU FIND THE MISTAKES?

Afterword

WHITE DOES A NICE JOB of exposing and holding up to scorn the childish disinformation programs of media co-conspirators involved in fanning the "pandemic" panic. Indeed, White's challenge in illuminating the bs is so slight that the more important issue is thereby illuminated: How or why can ANYONE be taken in by this twaddle?

Aren't we all so thoroughly schooled by the government-issue bs of the same flavor over the last twenty years on false flag or misrepresented events like 9/11, the 2007-2008 financial meltdown, the Iranian nuclear weapons hoax, the Syrian chemical attack hoax; the "Skripal" and "Navalny" poisoning hoaxes (and lately the "Hunter Biden crime assertions are Russian disinformation" and "massive Russian hack attack" hoaxes)-- just to mention a few-- that no one in the country is still naive enough to believe a single state-power-serving thing said by these media hacks? Who, over the age of ten, can still not reflexively reject everything said by such folks?

Unfortunately, there are more than a few so afflicted with delusions. Among other reasons, with the C19 hoax having managed to drum on for as long as it has, many have become emotionally-invested in the lies. For instance, every person who let their mother or father or husband or wife die alone in a hospital last spring has a profound incentive to tolerate no internal doubts and vocally defend the "plague" narrative on which they relied in letting such crimes be committed without at least a storm of protest.

Others, of course, have been part and parcel of the narrative, even without knowing it was eyewash and Kool-Aid. Many healthcare workers fall into this category (and in natural fashion, many members of the families of these folks). For the most part, these folks just bought into whatever Tony Fauci said on TV without doing any critical thinking or investigative research which would have raised their suspicions.

Told that any and all symptoms of the common flu were indications of C19 (and that the virus was everywhere) these folks just diagnosed accordingly. It has been only the rare critical thinkers among them that looked askance at official assertions and resorted to their own observations and expertise (like those 39,384 medical practitioners and 13,035 medical & public health scientists who have signed the Great Barrington Declaration...).

In short, as unfortunate as it is, lots of Americans continue to shuffle along amongst the blind being led by the crafty. Thus, though one would hope it weren't the case, parsings like L. Reichard White's are important, and I'm glad he has put this one out there.

AT THE SAME TIME, I will continue to remind everyone that a key defense for the people against despotism is the power individual Americans have over the purse from which all bad state behavior is financed.

That defense was put in place by the Founders in anticipation of just the sort of corruption that reigns today. They knew that if you can control the amount of damage that can be done by bad actors, society can survive the inevitable presence within its ranks of naifs and fools.

Here is an introduction document by which anyone can learn the critical importance, the promise and the unstoppable character of the "shrinking Leviathan" solution.

Read it through, yourself. Then share it as widely as you can.

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..."

-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.”

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!
