Dear Irwin,

It was quite a shock to get your letter in the context that I just received an invitation to interview for an undergraduate volunteer position at the Innocence Project at a local law school.  I mentioned your case to a few mutual friends as one of the purposes of wanting to join, so I would be curious to know if your letter was a pure coincidence, just out of curiosity, nothing more.

I hope to learn from participation in the project either ways in which we can free you or overturn the taxation of labor altogether.  Obviously, I'll be trying to turn all the attention I can your way, while there.  This is pretty heady stuff for a trucker trying to be a lawyer, but I'm at base camp on Mt. Everest, you might say.

I am happy to hear that your family is being recognized in Germany.  I'll get my contacts to look into your suggested Internet materials.

This summer, I have a welding class to keep me in good shape for a local welding job should my local trucking job fall apart.   My trucking career got hammered by two speeding tickets in 2007,  running for the LP nomination that could be easily explained in FBI counter intelligence terms, but who knows.  Maybe I'm just an old fart who needs to get out of a truck.  I have been out of financial aid since last June, as I have around 300 hours of undergraduate work behind me. I'm twenty-four hours from a bachelor's with economics heavy in the mix and over fifty hours from a pure economics (BS) degree that would open the door to the Ph. D. economics path.  I have a math class this summer to see if the Ph. D. economics route is realistic.

I'm looking at either law school or a master's in something like social economy after the first bachelor's degree.  The sociology degree path seems already approved, if I want it.  My proposed thesis is something like,  Sociological Retardation of Children, Adult Individuals and Cultures Relative to the Imposition of the Dynamics of Slavery (i. e.  Taxation of Labor, Taxation of Property, Numbering People as Cattle, Debt Service, Theft of the Value of Labor Through Monetary Inflation).  All the professors I know and with whom I interact are on board with it.  It is to be done along the lines of Dr. Kenneth B. Clark's doll test that was the basis of the Brown v. Board of Education case that overturned Plessy v. Ferguson and integrated the U. S. Public school system.

Dr. Cornel West of Princeton University and I shared some emails, and the book he suggested, Slavery and Social Death:  A Comparative Study, by Orlando Patterson, gets into a term, "wage slavery," discussed by Karl Marx.  I am hoping to go that "slavery" route on a constitutional challenge to the personal income tax, as well.  I'm pulling every rabbit out of every hat I can for you and the cause.

That's enough for now, I suppose.

Most respectfully,



Gene Chapman

Gandhiji and Abortion

Interestingly, Mahatma Gandhi left the door open to abortion in his book, India of My Dreams. As I contemplate his thought process, I think of a woman as the captain of a ship while she is pregnant. She has lives on board for which she is responsible. Yes, she may take life, but no, that authority is not absolute. There is and should be a hearing, as with a captain at sea, when the taking of life is made by another.

Carl Sagan said, "Life exists when a carbon based unit grows as the result of the consumption of another carbon based unit." So we know that that which is within the woman is life, human in nature. And "vibrancy" is only a debate about when ones' life is valuable enough to be protected or not by adults. Is a 90 year old man vibrant enough to be protected? and so forth. So, I suggest that we not do violence to women who choose to terminate a pregnancy, but neither should we allow the captain to kill off those aboard the ship at their whim.

Gandhiji viewed crime as a mental illness that should be treated. When a woman ends a pregnancy, she should be evaluated to see if there was cause. If there was not cause, then she is treated for mental illness.

First Meeting With a Graduate Counsellor

I had my first face-to-face meeting with a graduate degree counsellor today. He says I need three Sociology prerequisites, as I gather myself for a Master's in Sociology. My thesis is now entitled, Gross National Happiness Relative to the Imposition of the Dynamics of Slavery (i. e. Taxation of Labor, Taxation of Property, Numbering People as Cattle, Debt, Theft of the Value of Labor Through Monetary Inflation.)

"HeSheItWeThey"

There is an inner peace when I contemplate God as a personality. This personality, for lack of a better term, I call: "HeSheItWeThey." And I'm not too sure about the "It" part.

Gandhiji referred to God as "He," but I am unable to find where he gets this.

His book on prayer is a soothing exploration of God, and I recommend it: MahatmaGandhiGlobalLibrary.blogspot.com.

Never Shall I Return

Yesterday, a kind woman at university gave me a Christian tract in an attempt to convert me back to my twenty-seven year past in the Christian religion.

I can never return to a religion that tells the black man that "we are all of one blood" in one phrase and uses the next phrase to beat him bloody with a stick back into the "bounds of [his] habitation."

I can never return to a religion that tells children in Sunday School that "God don't make no junk" and then tells the hermaphrodite that they are a twisted freak of their father's sins, worthy only of rejection and death.

I can never return to a religion whose never-changing God teaches believers that they may hold slaves in one place (within their holy book) and then that their mission is to "preach liberty to the captives" in another.

I can never return to a religion that tells me to "fake it till you make it" and then tells me to never be a hypocrite.

I can never return to a religion that tells me there are 2,000 year old people today waiting for Jesus to return in the Second Coming, noting that there is no Internet coverage of the 2,000 year old people down the street anywhere on the planet (Matthew 16:28).

No, I am Gandhian, a worshipper of God as Truth Only. The Nazarene is not my enemy, but he and his father, if described accurately in the Bible, are not Truth Only. And any Spirit of God that is within me is not from that which is less than Truth Only.

"Divine knowledge is not borrowed from books. It has to be realized by oneself" (M. K. Gandhi).

Advice to Young People

In 1994, I spent several months as a prison guard in East Texas at one of the larger prisons. At that time, I learned how prison is a microcosm of the Marxist institutions we use in everyday life (i. e. public schools). The high school I went to as as a child was called, "The Lewisville Prison," by the kids.

As a university Economics student these days, I would suggest to a young person that you invest in ways that cannot be exploited by Marxists. If you invest in real property, then you have the 1st plank of The Communist Manifesto to consider, taxation of property. They can raise taxes at arbitrary rates and times, leaving you unable to live even in your family home.

I like the idea of investing in your own education because Marxists cannot take it from you, unless they kill or maim you. They are know to do such things.

Get schooled in playing an instrument, welding or car repair; things that will give you an edge in prison. Marxist can't do much to take that from you in prison; you know, the world they are creating.

Tell Pete Hendrickson that We're Coming!

I received an email noting that Tax Protester Pete Hendrickson, who is in prison, asked where "Superman" was to free us from Keynsian-Marxism? Well, I'm not Superman, but I do know that the conversation is changing in America, and lots of us are making that happen, including the Pete Hendrickson's, Bob Schulz's and Larkin Rose's of the world.

The other day, a student became the object of some small laughter in one of my classes for asking about the gold standard in a recent university lecture. This was not an issue just few years ago.

As for me, I'm tens of thousands in school debt at forty-five years old as I work toward a Ph. D. in Economics and a J. D., the same degrees held by Ludwig Von Mises (Mises.org). I saw years ago that we Tax Honesty Movement people are degreed too shallow to get invited to the big boy table of ideas. Even Peter Schiff an Irwin Schiff hold only BS Economics degrees, just enough to get you to the proverbial complaint window.

Change will happen in a mix of Kenneth B. Clark styled sociological studies, as we saw in the Brown v. Board of Education, along with the tax case found in "For A New Liberty," by Murray Rothbard.

We're coming, Pete. We're studying to be law librarians, lawyers, economists, etc. We're coming, Pete.
