The
Truth About the Income Tax
Here's
How It Works:
FIRST Enough
People Must Learn The Truth About The Tax, THEN Institutional Resistance To
That Truth Will End
This IRS request for coerced testimony is the most dramatic
possible admission that the government cannot prove a case against the
facts presented in “Cracking the Code”.

Peter Hendrickson, author, “Cracking the Code”
I RECEIVED A
LETTER LAST WEEK in which my correspondent said, in part, "As I read
your material it
seems a great
deal is written to validate your assertions. As far as I am concerned, you do
not need to be validated. I believe you have it right! ... I find myself
wishing I could edit all that [validation material] out and just concentrate on
the nuts and bolts of it."
This gentle
complaint prompted me to reflect on what I am impelled to write for these
newsletters week after week, and why.
After all, my
correspondent's question is a good one. Why DO I spend so much time pointing
and adding to the already huge body of evidence proving that by any and every
standard and authority, CtC is correct and complete? The accuracy of CtC as
to the legal nature of the income tax, the manner in which the tax is routinely
mis-administered to fall on earnings to which it doesn't apply, what should be
done about that by the victim, and the concerted effort of state apparatchiks
and "tax professionals" to evade and suppress this (to them
inconvenient) truth has long been unmistakably clear to any open and honest
mind.
Even the
details of the assaults on me personally serve to prove the accuracy and
importance of CtC.
Consider the
following short "highlights" list:
-
- the resort in the criminal assault
against me to insisting that the jury not see the
actual statutory definitions of what I was charged with believing
myself to have received when I said I did not on my returns-- even after
the jury itself asked to see them-- and denying me acce fill one out to your specifications if what you were
"specifying" was true in the first place? If it was true, you would
have no interest in, or need for, such a bogus device.
Insteadfont-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">All of these
facts establish that CtC is dead-on accurate and complete. None of them have
happened otherwise. Indeed, not only would none of these bizarre and obvious
violations of the law have even been dreamed of were evasion of the truth not
the order of the day, but anything remotely like any of them would be
scrupulously avoided at all costs if ever an honest challenge of CtC
were attempted, just because of what is plainly indicated by their appearance.
FOR INSTANCE,
WHY WOULD YOU EVEN DREAM OF ASKING A COURT TO order someone to rescind their
return and fill one out to your specifications if what you were
"specifying" was true in the first place? If it was true, you would
have no interest in, or need for, such a bogus device.
Instead, you'd
produce your own return attesting to what you claim to be true (just like the
law REQUIRES the government to do in such a case, by the way-- see parts C and
D of this motion currently pending before the court, the
government's fraud-ridden response attempting to evade the law by
frankly lying about case-law, and my reply detailing those evasions). If true, your
allegations would be provable; you would prove them; and that would be that.
You'd win
judgment based on your evidence. You'd assess the tax, and move on, with no
interest in, or need for, coerced testimony from your opponent supporting your
allegations. Indeed, you'd avoid any risk of tainting your victory with this
kind of effort to game the system, skirt the law and evade your opponents'
freely-made testimony with a ten-foot-pole, even if some nut-case brought the
notion up for some reason.
Think about
this! think about what's at stake...
>glaring admission.
That this
request for coerced testimony WAS made is the most dramatic possible admission
that the government cannot prove a case against CtC.
It is also
evidence of how desperate the state is to slow the spread of this liberating
information. Taking a chance on the public not thinking through what is really
proven by this episode and it simply being overlooked by the non-presstitute
"punditry" is risky. But the risk got taken anyway, and no surprise
when you think about what's at stake...
THE OTHER
EVASIONS IN MY LITTLE LIST are likewise plain and dramatic evidence of the
truth. Securing an injunction prohibiting my wife and me from doing something
we wouldn't do in any event, and never had, which is constructed and presented
to look as though it is disputes what is said in CtC
while carefully not actually doing so at all, is as frank an admission that
what IS said in vast and
comprehensive.
SO, OK, THE TRUTH
IS OBVIOUS AND THOROUGHLY PROVEN. Why, then do I keep on presenting more and
more "validation" evidence?
I can't think of any evidence that could
make the truth more clear to any rational, Kool-Aid-free brain.
These are just
three little examples of a large and elaborate body of evidence of the truth
about the tax just arising out of corrupt statist efforts to suppress that
truth. The evidence
from outright formal concrete admissions is far greater and unending, and
that from cited and deeply-researched authority and scholarship is also vast and
comprehensive.
SO, OK, THE TRUTH
IS OBVIOUS AND THOROUGHLY PROVEN. Why, then do I keep on presenting more and
more "validation" evidence?
Well, for one
thing, more and
more keeps piling up. Mostly this is as a consequence of the
staggeringly-admirable actions of noble American men and women who have risen
to uphold the rule of law and enforce the Constitution, even in the face of the
government's scary behavior in its attacks on me and its huge campaign over
ten-years-time now to frighten people away from CtC.
I HAVE to honor
those magnificent men and women and their outstanding upstandingness (if I can
be forgiven for that little fillip). It wouldn't be right to not do so.
At a minimum,
I'm not going to go to my grave, or dare to look my kids in the eye, knowing
that I didn't do what I could to make it happen., I feel as though I have
no choice but to keep presenting more evidence and explaining its import.
Trust me, I'm
tired of this exercise, but until at least a few in the "pundit"
class abandon their shameful fear of writing about real
"strike-at-the-root" activism by which those scary statists actually
feel threatened and take up some of the load of spreading the word I must
continue as loudly as I can.
After all, I
WANT LIBERTY AND THE RULE OF LAW RESTORED IN MY LIFETIME!
At a minimum,
I'm not going to go to my grave, or dare to look my kids in the eye, knowing
that I didn't do what I could to make it happen.
When enough
other voices are hard at work sharing the truth and encouraging Americans to
remember that:
1.) they are
entitled to a law-abiding state, and
2.) the only
way that happens is when each of us acts to make it happen.
I can then rest
from this and focus on other tasks. But only then.
The disturbing
fact is, we don't have an infinitely-wide window of opportunity in which to
overcome all the misinformation and disinformation out there about the real nature of the tax or the intimately-connected real
relationship between American men and women and the state as laid out in the
fundamental law and as still faithfully-conformed-to by the federal
statutory-structure. Those legal realities will avail us not at all once too
large a portion of the population is incapable of learning, reasoning or even
conceiving of the truth thanks to increasingly effective and unadulterated
conditioning by an increasingly corrupt and unscrupulous state ever-more
invested in public ignorance and apathy.
ALL RIGHT, SO
THERE'S THE ANSWER to the first part of my correspondent's observation and
concern. I constantly add to the "validation" because I can and
because I must, both out of respect for those producing the ongoing river of
evidence and because my going silent on this would be the effective strangling
in its crib of this beautiful, liberating truth about the critically-important
limits in the law on the income tax, understanding and actualization of which
makes us a free people and without which we are merely serfs.
The other
question implied by my correspondent's words is:
Why do I spend
so [relatively] little time on the "nuts and bolts" of the tax?
Well, here it
is: For most folks, there ARE no "nuts and bolts" needing
explication!
1. What is
“income” (and thus subject to the tax and needing to be reported or
acknowledged as such)?
2. How does
someone erroneously alleged to have received "income" correct the
record and (if necessary) re-claim amounts withheld or paid-in against a tax
which proves to never have been owed?
Both of these
questions are thoroughly answered already, and have been since CtC
first appeared in 2003.
The reason "nuts
and bolts" SEEM to need further explication is the persistence of
various forms of institutional resistance to the truth about those two Q &
A subjects. This includes, for example, the persistent practice of non-"income"
payers creating "information returns" (W-2s, 1099s, K-1s,
and so forth).
Likewise,
there's the persistent habit of many businesses of treating all relations with
workers and customers as tax-relevant. Then there's the policy of some
government actors to periodically attempt "We
can't hear you...!" and "Evidence,
we don't need any stinking evidence!!" pretenses in corrupt efforts to
discourage, evade or intimidate Americans who have learned and invoked the
truth.
All of these
behaviors make it seem that the good guys must be missing a nuts and bolts
"key"-- a "make everyone obey the law without a
struggle" statute that is also the one statute among all the others
that at least the official institutional resisters cannot resist. I'm afraid there is no such statute (and there has never been such an corruption-proof "silver
bullet" in the history of the world).
However...
WHEN ENOUGH
PEOPLE LEARN THE TRUTH ABOUT THE TAX, THIS PERSISTENT RESISTANCE WILL STOP.
Further, ONLY
when enough people learn the truth about the tax will this resistance stop (or
at least that's the only certain way to make it happen...).
The fact is, there
are powerful, active corrupt interests that BENEFIT from this institutional
resistance and vigorously encourage it. Those
interests hope this resistance will discourage those who know the truth (or
prompt them into casting about for some imaginary "missing piece of the
puzzle" by which the resistance must be justified, and consequently making
filings which are adulterated and compromised by some of the zillion "tax
honesty" errors that are thick on the ground all over the internet).
Those
beneficiary interests also hope those who DON'T already know the truth won't
even start to seriously look. The idea is
that those who don't already know the truth will be fooled by the superficial
appearance of this kind of resistance into imagining that there is really
nothing to find.
Those interests
will keep that resistance alive and an active pain in the ass for everyone until
too many people know the truth for that kind of defiance of the law to survive.
So, I WILL
write regularly on "nuts and bolts" subjects (as I always have).
But my focus is going to continue to be putting the truth in front of as many
people as possible, and in the most unmistakable,
you've-got-to-take-the-time-to-look-further fashion as possible.
Yours should
be, too.
So long
as the people do not care to exercise their freedom, those who wish to
tyrannize will do so; for tyrants are active and ardent, and will devote
themselves in the name of any number of gods, religious and otherwise, to put
shackles upon sleeping men."
