The Thread of Inconsequential Actions

By Mitchell Vexler, February 12, 2026

Here is an email I sent on February 11, 2026 to an advocate, Scott in Kansas, in response to the Kansas Bill to Eliminate property Taxes:

Kansas lawmakers are considering a bill that aims to eliminate property taxes by the end of next year, replacing them with a retail sales surcharge. However, there are “concerns” regarding the implications of such a significant change in tax policy. The “concerns” are the lack of evidence and people making decisions based on emotion and not fact.

Kansas Bill to Eliminate Property Tax

Overview of the Proposed Legislation

Key Features of the Bill

• 1.) Elimination of Property Taxes: The bill seeks to completely remove property taxes.
• 2.) Introduction of Sales Surcharge: A new retail sales surcharge would be implemented to generate revenue.
• 1 & 2 are good and necessary, per the evidence at www.mockingbirdproperties.com/dcad where the same math is applicable in Kansas.

Concerns and Considerations

• Impact on Local Governments: There are concerns about how local governments will be funded without property tax revenue. This “concern” is nonsense and is nothing more than trying to push the problem down the road and ignores the simple fact that the school district bonds cannot be paid for on the backs of the property owners. There is a high probability, that any school that has raised bonds utilizing fraudulent real estate valuations, is in itself bankrupt. Ignoring reality is the true concern.
• Legislative Momentum: The bill has faced challenges and is not guaranteed to pass, as it is still under discussion among lawmakers.  Again, ignoring reality is the true concern.
• This is why every property owner and citizen must advocate for the repeal of all property taxes in favor of the Uniform States Sales Tax. See Bill to repeal real estate tax in favor of Uniform States Sales Tax. Nothing else will work and delay only puts more property owners in harm’s way of bankruptcy and or losing the roof over their head (38% of the household population).

Related Legislative Actions

In addition to the property tax elimination bill, other related measures are being discussed, including:

• Limiting Property Tax Increases: A separate bill proposes to limit property tax increases to 3% at the county level unless approved by voters. This is more of the exact same kick the can down the road, ignore reality which may very well lead to civil unrest. These people that promote this garbage ignore the fraud that has occurred and want to perpetuate the fraud of overvaluation another 3% per year in an attempt to keep up the payments on the interest of the fraudulent bonds. They will either continue to fraudulently increase the property values or fraudulently change the tax (mill) rate. Either way their financial sins have been in their mind transferred to the property owners without recourse and that is not legal.   
• Property Tax Relief Fund: Another proposal aims to establish a property tax relief fund to assist counties that adhere to certain tax increase limits and this is more nonsense.

This is reality, applicable across the U.S., The Importance of the Vexler Case to Texas and the U.S.

Reality is the financial crimes committed against the Citizens of Kansas and across the U.S.

The evidence of what effects Kansas can be seen in this Amicus Brief.

The math and issues are applicable across the U.S., not just in Texas.

Best Regards.

[end of email]

The above email is extremely similar to another that was sent a few days ago, and I realized that I had communicated with several people where the exact same Thread of Inconsequential Actions  is playing out across the U.S.

Here is a link to an the Article that I wrote in November 2025, with regard to the Legacy of Governor Abbott: The Legacy of Governor Abbott – Governor Abbott’s Empowering Texas Taxpayers is the Embodiment of Institutionalized Systemic Moral Hazard.

So now we have multiple governors and multiple politicians making noise, but in truth, what we have is noise with the intent of manipulating you and you are paying for it. See The Intended Manipulation of Noise, aka socialism, & You Are Paying for It.

As Property Owners, Citizens and advocates for your future and your family’s future, we must not succumb to the intended manipulation so that we don’t unknowingly participate in their fraud. 

The way not to participate in their fraud on society is by quantifying reality and make every politician sign a clear concise short Contract. A Contract is how society has clarity on those in trusted positions. A Contract provides the guideposts for the legal system and both those in positions of trust and the legal system must be held accountable and not allowed to shift the blame around the map or participants.

Martin Gedes recently stated, “The core function of a court is not punishment or dispute resolution, but authoritative attribution — under conditions of procedural constraint.” 

I have written about this and absolutely agree that the courts are to determine who authored what and what is to be done. In other words, what is the chain of command.

“The courts determine:

• attribution of acts to persons
• attribution of intent to acts
• attribution of liability to conduct
• attribution of authority to officials
• attribution of meaning to texts
• attribution of jurisdiction to institutions
• attribution of finality to disputes

A court takes a messy, contested reality and declares: this happened; this counts; this person is responsible; this rule applies; this institution had power; this outcome stands. In plain English: courts exist to decide who is responsible for what, and to make that decision stick.

That is an attribution engine. Everything else operates in support of that purpose.

Before a court can punish, compensate, or restrain, it must first attribute. Without attribution, there can be no lawful consequence.

And courts only function if their attributions are accepted as legitimate.

When attribution becomes sloppy, fictional, or unaccountable — ghost courts, unsigned process, retroactive jurisdiction — legitimacy collapses. Service rules, signatures, court constitution, standing, evidence rules: these are all controls designed to prevent false or coerced attribution.”

There are perceived “institutions” that push forth on to the public propaganda designed to bend the ear of courts which have severe consequences. Those “institutions and or lobbying groups” include media, academia, school districts, central appraisal districts, and bureaucracy all of which have a common thread. The common thread is the property taxpayer at the State level and the income taxpayer at the Federal level, when a portion of Federal dollars are re-deployed back to the State to fund any portion of the “institutions or lobbying groups”.

The courts job is to see through propaganda and rhetoric, in order to prohibit chaos, and enforce the black letter of the law.

Injustice arises from lack of due process, absence of jurisdiction, failure to consider evidence, misapplication of case law, attributing acts without proof, attributing authority without legal basis, attributing consent, where none existed, and unreasonable deliberation, all of which I have written about as can be seen:

• Amicus Brief
• The Importance of the Vexler Case to Texas and the U.S.

Mr. Gedes went on to state:

“In other words, injustice often arises not from the absence of law, but from responsibility being assigned where it does not properly belong — or withheld where it should. This is no accident”.   

Narrative warfare — manipulation, deception, misdirection — targets attribution layers. Smears, presumptions, silence, procedural fog: all are techniques for forcing attribution without evidence, and normalizing it before it can be challenged.”

This description by Mr. Gedes is the perfect description of the great con that we started to uncover at Denton Central Appraisal District in 2016, where evidence has grown across Texas and the U.S. We have documented every step of the process, as can be seen at www.mockingbirdproperties.com/dcad .

On January 30^th, 2026, the Supreme Court of Texas (SCOTX) requested a response from opposing counsel representing DCAD (Denton CAD). MAVEX will be responding to the response from opposing counsel. We expect that opposing counsel will put forth the same nonsense to prohibit adjudication of the fraud begin perpetrated against every real estate owner and every citizen in Denton County. 

Perhaps the SCOTX now sees the Constitutional Issue brought forth which outlines:

1. There is no redress in the case of fraud committed against a property (residential, land or commercial) and its owner, by a taxing authority created under the appraisal review statute to show how the fraud has been created and manipulated to obtain resolution.
2. Appraisal process disallows investigation of fraud in the process which negates the very existence of Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice.
3. The statue, as unilaterally interpreted and exercised, prevents the discovery of fraud.
4. There is no due process, as unilaterally interpreted and exercised, of structured review.
5. Constitutional Question: Can the Legislature or lower courts constitutionally bar judicial review of systemic fraud claims by confining them to an administrative scheme that lacks discovery, subpoena power, or fraud-adjudication authority?
6. Why Should the Supreme Court of Texas Care: This is a classic “open courts” problem—if ARBs are the exclusive forum and the Chief Appraiser is allowed to commit fraud wherein Ultra Vires is not enforceable (as claimed by opposing counsel), then property owners have no meaningful remedy for fraud. That is exactly the type of constitutional anomaly the Supreme Court of Texas exists to resolve.

As I have stated in writing and on video many times, either the law exists or it doesn’t. This is the ultimate statement of fact.

No Constitutional entity can allow fraud to escape.

The most important question for opposing counsel representing the CAD, its employees and counsel itself as an officer of the court, is this: if you don’t’ intend to allow the resolution and discovery by every Texan with regard to the property tax fraud and related school district bond fraud being committed upon them,  why is that?

This question is applicable across the U.S. in all appraisal districts claiming to adhere to USPAP where the evidence proves the opposite.

No government (State or Federal) in the history of the planet can outrun the Rule of 72.

No government (State or Federal) can outrun the reverse amortization that they created.

As the saying goes, the pen is mightier than the sword and as I stated above, the math of the rule of 72 and amortization is mightier than any system trying to relax the rules so the errant system can continue. In other words, pushing the can down the road, via the thread of inconsequential actions which created unsustainable debt levels, will lead to terminal failure.

Wherein an errant system’s overriding goal is continuity of governance it degrades / manipulates laws to bypass the truth. The errant system itself may have started with good intent but the lessening of the requirements of law and the desire for financial or political gain create the errant system. When the errant system ignores the truth and demands payment from the population, that the population does not have nor did it vote for, chaos may be the result. Thus, my statement, either the law exists, or it does not.

As far as I know, we are the only source that has tied Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) to the Texas Education Agency, to the Texas Property Tax Code, to the Texas Constitution, to The Constitution of the United States of America, as well as the many bureaucratic entities associated with the CADs, and followed that path all the way into multiple law suits and criminal complaints in an effort to right the sinking ship of fraudulent property overvaluation and over taxation to service the fraudulent school district bonds.

It is not up to the individual to prove the market value of their property. Market value is an unrealized gain, and the 16^th Amendment prohibits taxation on an unrealized gain. The history of how this came about can be seen in the article, Thomas Paine – Quotes on Taxes & The Necessity of Taxation. The CADs violate dozens of laws including RICO. “Pay what we tell you to pay, or we will take the house”. The liability of the fraud created by the school districts is placed onto the property owners, many of which are unaware of the depth of the financial problem created by fraudsters. 

Most individual property owners are unable and unaware how to defeat the fraud of overvaluation and disprove the valuation because even the Registered Professional Appraisers (RPAs) under Oath, deny their involvement in creating the values. The RPAs commit aggravated perjury and lie to the Appraisal Review Board (ARB) who themselves exist with no authority in law to adjudicate fraud or even have a basic understanding of USPAP. This is well documented including audio.

Conventional challenges by property owners fail because they operate inside the synthetic errant system of intent to defraud outside the purview of legitimate courts, rather than at the source of the fraud which is both the school districts and the CADs as they hide behind sovereign immunity and ignore ultra vires. The lack of accountability itself is the proof of intent to defraud.

Allowing the school districts to raise bonds, was the exact point of creation of the errant system which metastasized with intent to defraud wherein multiple government entities chose to turn a blind eye (The Thread of Inconsequential Actions) to what was mathematically quantifiable and politically visible as the politicians kept modifying laws to placate the public which only exacerbated the growth of the debt. 

Under the 16^th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, what we know is a CAD, in support of school district bonds, should not exist and neither should the bureaucracy surrounding the CADs. No CAD in the U.S. has the authority in law to commit fraud (overvaluation and over taxation) and allowing it to do so is further proof of intent.

The evidence we have is irrefutable and insurmountable, including the refusal of the Office of the Attorney General to adhere and comply with the law regarding the 15-page FOIA request.  This non-response is a signal.  We are asking the Supreme Court of Texas to remand the case to the lower court for adjudication on its merits.

Who can be named, identified, and made to own the act being relied upon by the CAD which defrauds the Citizens?

Where is the authority (person or written), that any Chief Appraiser (CA) or Central Appraisal District (CAD) (i.e. Denton Central Appraisal District (DCAD)) has relied upon, that allows the CA to commit fraud of overvaluation, over-taxation, RICO, and violate dozens of State and Federal laws?

“The system, the court, the policy, the process, the RPAs, we are just doing what we were taught, the report was generated, the automated process, the mass appraisal software, we didn’t know, the State Comptroller required” are not get out of jail free cards and none of which have their claimed authority in law. The alleged protective layers in combination, and separately, are further proof of intent to defraud not just by the system, but by the individual. 

We are not activists under any circumstance. What we have done is a detailed audit into multiple bureaucratic entities, each with their own lawful requirements that have been ignored, which have led to the proof of Institutionalized Systemic Moral Hazard by allowing the fraudulent overvaluation and over taxation to the point of bankruptcy of the institutions (school districts) and the property owners. 

The genesis of the fraud was the desire for the school districts to raise bond funds. In many cases the school district superintendents should be held liable for accounting fraud and bond fraud while the Chief Appraisers should be held liable for violation of many laws including both State and Federal RICO. See  Partial List of Violations Reviewed.

The Thread of Inconsequential Actions is about the system or bureaucracy surrounding itself in an attempt to protect the system, but as detailed above, ends up being self-defeating under the weight of fraud and related fraudulent debt.

The system, whether by error or intent, along with the responsible individuals, both being under the requirements of the black letter of the law, must be held accountable. Without this accountability, chaos will ensue. The purpose of the courts is to prohibit chaos.
