NINE YEARS AGO, CORRUPT
ELEMENTS in the United States Department of
Justice, Internal Revenue Service and federal
judiciary began the commission of a grave
crime directly affecting a few folks in
Michigan, but aimed at all of America. Here's
the story.
By 2006, tens of
thousands of American men and women had
learned things that enabled them to lawfully
stop paying the tax, and to recover everything
withheld or paid-in in connection with the
tax-- Social security and Medicare
contributions included.
Refund
checks of every penny, with interest
where appropriate, were arriving daily in
American mailboxes across the country from
federal and state treasuries alike.
Faced with a
widening and otherwise unstoppable hemorrhage
in government revenue and power resulting from
the spread of this previously buried
information about the income tax (which they
saw as a problem), the corrupt conspirators in
the executive and judiciary decided to abuse
the powers of their offices in an effort to
suppress the inconvenient information.
INITIALLY, THESE
CORRUPT ACTORS had attempted to solve their
problem by pretending the inconvenient
information in
CtC
was wrong, fit the statutory standards for
"promotion of an abusive tax shelter", and
could be enjoined on that basis. During the
first two years the book was in print these
folks brought actions toward that end in
several different courts, including those of
Nancy Edmunds and Victoria Roberts in the
Federal District Court for the Eastern
District of Michigan.
However, these
contrived assaults failed. Each ended with a
government motion for the dismissal of its own
bogus suit. See documentation of these
assaults and their collapses
here.
NOW FOR MOST FOLKS,
being repeatedly defeated in their initial
series of bogus attacks on the accurate
content of a book, however inconvenient that
content might be to their ambitions, would be
the end of the story. But some State
operatives just can't abide not having their
own way.
And after all, what
is at stake here is trillions of dollars of
wealth, and all the power that goes with it.
Operatives in the State apparatus have gotten
very accustomed to luxuriating in all that
wealth and exercising all that power by
exploiting the widespread ignorance of income
tax law which the "inconvenient" revelations
in
CtC were curing in most
everyone who read the book.
THE PERPS BEGAN THE
NEW ASSAULT with a series of fraudulent claims
in an unprecedented lawsuit complaint, served
on the author of
CtC
and his wife four days before "tax day" in
2006. As its basis for being brought in the
first place (something closely circumscribed
under the law) the complaint asserted that the
couple secured complete refunds of amounts
withheld in 2002 and 2003 by catching the
government napping.
The DOJ operatives
responsible claimed that the government didn't
know the couple had had earnings those years.
They said the government wasn't really paying
attention to those unique tax forms showing $0
in "wages" and thousands of dollars of
withholdings, and just issued the refunds
without thinking twice.
They said no
official interest was piqued by the fact that
the claims for refunds included Social
Security and Medicare withholdings--something
never before claimed or refunded in history.
And they said this all happened by unconscious
mistake despite the fact that these claims and
refunds were made by, and to, the guy their
agency had been simultaneously attempting to
shut down with the bogus "abuse tax shelter
promotion" assault.
Needless to say,
these "validating" assertions in the
government's lawsuit complaint were flat-out
lies. Evidence is hardly needed to
substantiate this in light of the foregoing,
but see
here and
here.
Plainly, the returns
in question were pored-over intensely, and
ultimately were acknowledged as being
perfectly valid and correct.
LYING ABOUT HOW THE
REFUNDS WERE MADE wasn't enough, of course.
There had to be an allegation of taxes owed.
So, another big lie was called for.
For the fraudulent
allegation that
the
couple had earned tax-related "income" and
owed taxes, the DOJ conspirators
produced what was purported to be an IRS
"Examination Report" saying this, and entered
it into the record of the case. But anyone who
actually read the accompanying "declaration"
of the anonymous "preparer" (who admitted to
be using a fake name for some unexplained
reason) would discover that
in fact, no actual examination had been made.
So, both the
assertion that the refunds were made in error
and that the couple actually owed tax were
fraudulent. Instead, the evidence shows that
the educated filings reclaiming everything
withheld and determining that no tax-relevant
"income" had been received (other than the
interest and dividend gains shown on the
returns) were correct in every respect and
actually undisputed as such.
BUT THE LIES ABOUT
ERROR AND TAX LIABILITY were just the
window-dressing part of the show. All the
foregoing was heinous, to be sure, but the
real purpose of the whole affair was in no way
the mere illegal imposition of the income tax
against this one couple, and the recapture of
their measly $20,000.
The real
purpose of the schemer's "lawsuit" was the
delivery of a giant lie to the American
public in order to prevent more people from
reading
CtC and
learning the individual-empowering,
state-restraining truth about the real
nature and application of the income tax.
So, in addition to
the fraudulent assertion that the couple's
returns and claims were "false", there was
another side to the "complaint", with two
components. One was a mendacious assertion
that
CtC makes the absurd claims
that "wages are not income" and that "only
federal, state and local government workers
are subject to the income tax".
See the
lies
here, and the truth
here.
The other "keep
Americans in the dark and in the yoke"
component of the conspirators' "lawsuit" ploy
was a request for two unprecedented, grossly
speech- conscience- and
due-process-rights-violating injunctions from
the court.
By one of these
requested injunctions the author of
CtC and his wife would be ordered to
repudiate their freely-made declarations of
belief concerning the taxable character of
their earnings and made to instead declare--
over their own signatures-- that they believed
that all their earnings are taxable. By the
other, the couple would be threatened with a
'contempt-of-court" charge if they ever
testified in a fashion the conspirators didn't
like in a future tax-related matter (by virtue
of the pretense that any disfavored testimony
on a tax form would be based on the notions
they had falsely ascribed to
CtC).
Never before
in American history have the contents of a
book been the subject of a deliberate
misrepresentation in a formal legal filing
by government officials. Never before in
American history have government officials
asked a court to dictate the content of
anyone's testimony, or hang a threat over
anyone should they testify in ways the
officials don't like in the future.
Of course, you would
think that the judge presiding over this
"lawsuit" with its bogus documents and
assertions, and plainly lawless and
unconstitutional requests would throw it out
while holding her nose, and sanction, if not
propose criminal charges against those
responsible... Unfortunately, you'd be wrong.
Unsurprisingly (it
having been written by the plaintiff),
Edmunds' "judgment" makes "judicial findings"
of every single assertion in the complaint. It
also includes the rights-gutting, law-defying
injunctions, as well. See them
here.
NOW THE CONSPIRATORS
are off to the races. National press releases
are issued trumpeting
CtC's "defeat in court". Government
trolls begin creating websites touting the
"judicial findings" and doing everything
possible to spread the lies. The "tax honesty"
communities on the net are infected with the
lies, which therefore take hold in the
alt-media community. The "tax-trouble
remediation" industry is especially well-dosed
with this Kool-Aid.
In every way they
can think of, those behind this conspiracy
have been working feverishly for years now to
prevent the American public from realizing the
liberating truth about the broadly-loathed but
equally-broadly misunderstood income tax. They
have been working equally hard to intimidate
those who know the truth into relinquishing
their rights to speak freely and to assert and
defend their interests in legal contests over
whether or not they are liable for any tax.
And yet, all the
while,
Americans across the country who
aren't so stupid as to take on faith
anything chucked-up by government officials,
especially anything which, if other than how
the officials portrayed it, would threaten
the power and perks of those same officials,
and have actually read
CtC and know what it REALLY says,
continue to demand and receive all their
improperly-collected money back and to shut
down efforts
to misapply the tax to their
non-federal-privilege-connected earnings.
SO, THERE YOU HAVE
THE CRIME of the century-- which is not what's
been done to Pete Hendrickson, the author of
CtC, or his wife, Doreen. Those
two have certainly been the victims of crimes
(see
here and
here), and these vicious crimes continue
to this day (
and
deeply threaten the rights of every single
American). But the crime of the century
is not against them.
The crime of the
century-- the really BIG crime-- is against
YOU, and your children. It is YOU who are
being deliberately and systematically lied to,
for the specific purpose of keeping you in
ignorant subjugation to an exploitative scheme
by which corrupt elements of the political
class, their cronies and their clients have
been fleecing you for vast amounts of wealth
throughout your entire life.
Pretty heinous,
isn't it? Are you
going to stand for it?
NOTE
II: It should be kept in mind going
forward that every adverse, scary or
scornful thing you've ever heard about
CtC
has come from the minds, mouths and
hands of the same folks whose frauds
are documented above, or is based on
their efforts. Those folks have been
struggling hard since 2003 to keep you
from realizing that the actual
legitimate institutional responses to
CtC
are what you see
here, and to keep you
from thinking about what you will find
here.
