Help, help! I'm being repressed! I'm being repressed! Look at the violence inherent in the system! Look at the violence inherent in the system!
But Pete apparently hasn't figured out yet that his followers have dwindled to Patrick Mooney, Skankbeat (who is apparently abandoning CtC for unspecified common law approaches), Libre "the system is going to collapse next week just like I've said every week now for about a year", and just a few other nuts who seem to be spending most of their time trying to figure out how to respond to IRS levies and sanctions.

That is an important (or impotent) point, most of the posts there now are pleas for "helpo me get the IRS off my back" veiled in various degrees of patriot posturing for prosperity...Joey Smith wrote:Help, help!

Re: Pete Hendrickson - political prisoner?
Yes, every CtC loss is really a win.Peter the Great wrote:All I can tell you is that the errant federal government itself has written, and continues to write, the best, clearest and most unmistakable exposition of the accuracy of CtC with every week that goes by,
Scrolling through Hendrickson's pompous drivel, two questions arose in my mind:
1. Has Hendrickson ever written a *short* rant?
2. What is the difference between inspiring rhetoric and Hendrickson's cant?
Thinking about the second question, I think that one possible difference is that great writing, and great speeches, have an understandable underlying idea with a fundamental human appeal.
Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" speech is about racial unity, and about peace and love and human fulfillment. In that respect, it is not unlike great speeches by Jesus or Buddha or Muhammed.
Hendrickson's rant is about.... what? "Look how right I am" or "Look how they're oppressing me" never sells well. Even "we need to return to the Framer's original intent" doesn't work unless you present a clear image of what intent you want to return to. "I should be free to keep my money" is also not going to sell well.
In other words, Hendrickson's political diatribes don't work very well for the same reason that his legal diatribes don't work very well: They're largely incoherent. That's why people talk about having to read CtC multiple times. It really is not logical or sensible. The crackheads who thrive on it and think it makes sense are hearing noises that appeal to them, but can't explain what it means.
I like the part at the end:
So no, Hendrickson didn't realize what he was asking for.Peter the Great wrote:I once had a performance review where my supervisor labeled me "presumptuous", and when I challenged that, his response was, "Do you realize the things you're asking for?" My response was that, if you don't ask, you have no chance of getting what you want.

Contradiction in terms. Rants by their very nature can never be short.LPC wrote:1. Has Hendrickson ever written a *short* rant?

He wasn't quoting a drill instructor. He was quoting an employee at The Argument Clinic.

Predicted, the response to Pete's latest press release even on his main support forum at LostHeads amounts to two posts telling their local talk radio shows about it, and two more trying to figure out to link to it from their Facebook page.
