Doreen Hendrickson is spending what might be the last weekend she has with her family for a few years. On Monday, her jury is expected to return with a verdict on her contempt charge. If she’s found guilty, she will go to prison for at least a year (otherwise, this would not be a jury trial.)
Click here for the verdict in the Doreen Hendrickson trial. Also read this firsthand account from the trial.
The IRS put her husband Pete in prison for 3 years; it is anxious to do the same to Doreen.
Doreen’s charge? Not obeying a judge’s order to sign a Form 1040. That’s it. Talk about a non-crime.
A 1040 is a legal document that you sign under penalty of perjury:
“Under penalties of perjury, I declare that I have examined this return and accompanying schedules and statements, and to the best of my knowledge and belief, they are true, correct, and complete.”
It is signed under penalties of perjury because a Form 1040 is your sworn legal testimony regarding your income taxes. If you lie on a form 1040, you will go to prison. How ironic.
Doreen cannot sign the 1040 because she doesn’t believe it to be true, correct, and complete. That is because the IRS made her fill it out with their numbers, not hers. The 1040s are for 02, 03, and 08. Total taxes due using the government’s figures = $0. That is not a typo: $0. There is no tax due.
WHY she doesn’t believe it to be true is another matter entirely and doesn’t even bear on the case. Although during the trial, the IRS tried to connect the two facts and paint her as a tax protester.
Doreen is not charged with being a tax protester, however. She is not charged with falsifying a document. She is not charged with evading taxes, or willful failure to file.
She’s charged with contempt for not signing a form. A form which, if she is forced to sign it, will cause her to commit perjury.
Doreen’s Offers of Compromise to the IRS
She offered to sign the form with the words “under duress” written in next to her name. The IRS said not good enough.
She offered to sign under the line so that she would not be subject to perjury charges. The IRS said not good enough.
Judge Victoria Roberts suggested that Doreen sign the form and attach an affidavit stating her reasons for not wanting to sign. Doreen said great and went home to write up the affidavit. The IRS called: not good enough.
Here’s the Crime: Suborning Perjury
The IRS demands Doreen sign the form on the line, swearing it to be true, correct, and complete even though she does not believe that. The IRS is demanding she change her testimony to suit them. It is dictating her testimony. This is straight out of Soviet Russia.
But wait: there’s more.
Two Lies in the Judge’s Instructions to the Jury
There were two astonishing instructions from Judge Roberts to the jury. The first is the tired old lie that the jury may not judge the law. The judge said that SHE will tell them what the law is and they must judge the case based on the what she says the law is.
This is a flat out lie, one being told by judges all over the country.
In fact, it is the jury’s obligation to judge the law by way of jury nullification. History is clear on this:
“The jury has the right to judge both the law as well as the fact in controversy.” — Judge John Jay, first chief justice of the Supreme Court
“It is not only [the juror’s] right, but his duty…to find the verdict according to his own best understanding, judgment, and conscience, though in direct opposition to the direction of the court.” — John Adams, Founding Father and 2nd President of the United States
In 1969, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Maryland:
“We recognize, as appellants urge, the undisputed power of the jury to acquit, even if its verdict is contrary to the law as given by the judge, and contrary to the evidence. This is a power that must exist as long as we adhere to the general verdict in criminal cases, for the courts cannot search the minds of the jurors to find the basis upon which they judge. If the jury feels that the law under which the defendant is accused, is unjust, or that exigent circumstances justified the actions of the accused, or for any reason which appeals to their logic of passion, the jury has the power to acquit, and the courts must abide by that decision.” [US vs Moylan, 417 F 2d 1002, 1006 (1969)]
In 1972, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia said:
the jury has an “unreviewable and irreversible power… to acquit in disregard of the instructions on the law given by the trial judge… [US vs Dougherty, 473 F 2d 1113, 1139 (1972)]
Judge’s Instructions: Lie #2
The IRS requested that the judge give the following instruction:
“It is not a defense to the crime of contempt that the court order was unlawful or unconstitutional.”
No typos there, either. Unbelievably, the judge actually gave this instruction. It follows that anyone in authority can order you to do something illegal and you have to do it.
Jury Deliberations
The jury is deliberating now. They spent two hours on Friday doing so and will return on Monday morning to continue. The fact they did not reach a verdict quickly means that at least one juror is arguing for Doreen, for sanity and for common sense to prevail. There is hope in the world!
A jury is the conscience of the people and the last bastion between tyranny and the accused. This is why the Founders included the right to a trial by jury in the 6th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. If this judge and the IRS get away with dictating testimony, there is no end to the tyranny that will ensue.
If you pray, please pray for Doreen.
Footnote: A Little History
Doreen’s husband, Pete, wrote a book a few years ago called Cracking the Code: The Fascinating Truth About Taxation in America. The IRS tried to ban the book for years, suing Pete four times. It was unsuccessful. They did get to put Pete in jail for 3 years convicting him of filing fraudulent documents. Now they are going after Doreen. The IRS is desperate to shut these people up. Why?
I gotta say it: if you aren’t outraged, you are not paying attention.
Judge Victoria A Roberts Wikipedia page should include mention of her order in her Wikipedia page. I believe she is the first federal judge to suborn perjury from a defendant in a tax related case. That is a claim to infamy.
So if anyone can provide a link to a record of her order that Doreen perjure herself, please share. The judge’s page is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_A._Roberts
The problem in our court system is: you get the justice you have the money to pay for. If it is against the government then you are fighting an unlimited pocketbook because the President just prints more money and keeps coming for you. Stand your ground as long as you can afford to Doreen, the best I can do is pray for you.

IRS IS FRAUD!
You don’t file complaints against “judges” because they’re not judges. You file an INTERNATIONAL LAW NOTICE OF CLAIM. The “judge” has an oath to the I.M.F. IRS works for FEDERAL RESERVE which is a foreign bank. If you want help, write to NHJudicialWatch@gmail.com
There are ways to stop everything but no one is willing to read. They all want it handed to them. WRONG! FEDERAL RESERVE NOTES are instruments of debt. They own your house because you’re using “government use” currency. Interest on the debt is what “government” employees are required to pay. Interest on the U.S. (foreign corporation) debt is passed off to anyone stupid enough to assume the role of U.S. citizen.
All seats of government have been vacated!
December 26, 1933 49 Statute 3097 Treaty Series 881 ( Convention on Rights and Duties of States ) stated CONGRESS replaced STATUTES with international law, placing all STATES under international law.
December 9, 1945, the International Organization Immunities Act relinquished every public office of United States to United Nations.
22 CFR 92.12-92.31 FR Heading “Foreign Relationship” states that an oath is required to take office.
Title 8 USC 1481 states once an oath of office is taken, citizenship is relinquished, thus one becomes a foreign entity, agency, or state. That means every public office is a foreign state, including all political subdivisions. (i.e. every single court is considered a separate foreign entity).
Title 22 USC ( Foreign relations and Intercourse ) Chapter 11 identifies all public officials as foreign agents.
Title 28 USC 3002 Section 15A states United States is a Federal Corporation and not a government, including the Judicial Procedural Section.
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure ( FRCP ) 4j states that the Court jurisdiction and immunity fall under a foreign state.
IRS is in PUERTO RICO!!

As a constitutionalist (Australia) I hold that it was none of the business of the judge why a member of the jury refused to convict. That is the unquistionable right of a juror. Neither do I accept a judge can misuse/abuse judicial powers to force a person to commit perjury. I for one look forwards for Doreen and others to stand their ground and we all support them with this.
I think the judge was out of line, too. All my reading says that a juror’s decision is final and PRIVATE.
Since judges have joined the ranks of the taxpayer, they are no longer impartial. It’s criminal the way the courts have been corrupted. In the name of “fairness.”
Frick an A!!!!!!!!!!! Nice!!!!!!!!! Give em hell lady!
It is time to gather up torches and pitchforks, heat up some tar and sacrifice a few feather pillows for the cause. Back in the original revolution days, if someone wanted to be kind to the intended target, they would surreptitiously place a small tar ball with a small feather stuck in it, into their coat pocket. When discovered, they then knew they had a very short window of time to leave the country without public shaming. Many of them fled north and settled into the Canadian Island of Nova Scotia.
Tarring and feathering really appeals to me. As do the stocks… public humiliation would be very satisfying.
Appeal to a higher court, that’s the only thing you can do in a land were fair trial doesn’t matter if it involves the Feds.
Appeal may be the next step in the legal mumbo jumbo trail, but with the recent results out of courts as high as the Supreme, that might not bring much comfort. Wrong is wrong. Even if the govt tells you to do that thing, it is still wrong. Righteous people stand by their principles.
I am so disheartened that IJ saw this as a tax reporting issue and not a free speech issue. I can only hope the jury agrees with us. Is there an appeal if Doreen is found guilty?
Yes, she can appeal, but they have no money. If IJ won’t take it, we’ll look to other firms that might. Lawyers see “IRS” in any proceeding, they turn their backs.
