FOREWORD

Among much else of interest, you are about to see the latest demonstrations of the fact that what is presented on this website and in 'Cracking the Code- The Fascinating Truth About Taxation In America' about the income tax is the complete and exclusive truth.  These are not legally-meaningless, bullet-dodging acquittals, or hair-splitting analyses of something imagined to be found in some portion of the law.  Instead, they are concrete, often initially contested acknowledgements-- in a wide variety of forms-- by the IRS and (so far) 30 state tax agencies of the fundamental, comprehensive and singular accuracy of the information found in, and only in, CtC.  After reading them, you will sit back in your chair with the same quiet confidence you have enjoyed ever since you first learned the truth for yourself.

You will reflect upon the endless series of victories being won by those who act upon the knowledge gained from this site and CtC.  You will reflect upon the hundreds of documents of state and federal authorities posted on this site acknowledging and confirming what you have learned.  You will chuckle wryly at the fact that even throughout the scores of fulminating pages of legal briefs filed by the government in its multi-year-old PR "lawsuit" against my wife and me there is not a single effort made to actually dispute what I teach about the law in CtC, despite prodigious efforts to imply such a challenge.

[In fact, every element of this "lawsuit" actually confirms the information in CtC, including the fact that the sole evidence relied upon by the plaintiff to support its claim is an "information return", and the government's acknowledgement of the fact that unless we can somehow be made to change the testimony on our filed returns, it has no legal claim to pursue.

That this "remedy" is technically impossible and legally unavailable is not significant in the government's calculation of the utility of this "lawsuit".  This suit was commenced not in any expectation of ultimate success, but simply to intimidate those who had already learned the truth from CtC into inaction and the subsequent sacrifice of another year's improper "income" tax bite; and to equip the IRS and its tools to darkly warn those who had not yet learned the truth into continued ignorance, with a disparaging, "Hendrickson?  Forget him.  He's being sued!".

In order to get this benefit, it was only necessary that the suit get past immediate dismissal.  Suggesting to a judge that probably knows less about tax law than you do that she has the authority to dictate the content of someone else's tax return-- and that the resulting return would be legally meaningful, as well-- sufficed.  (Sadly, federal judges are all-too-accustomed to hearing, and trying to accommodate, fanciful notions from government attorneys, and thus are willing to entertain even the most outlandish, and ultimately futile, propositions, at least on the district court level.)  The court does not have that authority, of course, but the point is that even while engaged in this legal contortion, the government must acknowledge the ultimate and inescapable primacy of a filer's return.  (Click here for more on this "lawsuit".)]

ANYWAY... You'll reflect on all these things, and then you'll download your email and find your "inbox" filled with lies, distortions and distractions about the tax ranging from the merely foolish to the outright fraudulent, and everything in between.  Or you'll visit your newsgroups, and see the same.  Then, the odds are, you'll proceed to do... nothing.

You won't make any effort to correct or halt the nonsense at all.  At best, you'll delete or ignore the garbage; at worst, you'll actually forward it so that it can distract others, or even waste your own time reading it through.  Some of you will actually forward it to me, and ask me to explain whether whatever it asserts is true, or where or why it isn't.  I deal with scores of emails every day, and far too many are of this type.

These can no longer be the "default" responses to this nonsense.  YOU know the truth, and you have to help spread that truth, and debunk the errors and lies.  I can't continue to produce and provide resources such as what you are about to read when I am alone, or nearly alone, in responding to errors and nonsense, and frankly, I can't stop this dangerous infection of misunderstanding by myself, even if I were to do nothing else.

Every week on this page you see at least a half-dozen entreaties that you visit www.losthorizons.com/tax/Misunderstandings/map.htm and read everything through.  How many of you have actually done this?  Precious few.  Thus, nonsensical distractions and outright lies that dramatically hinder our mutual effort to restore the rule of law are endlessly perpetuated, instead of being instantly and forcefully responded to by a multitude of voices with a reference to material that will comprehensively put them to rest and allow everyone to move forward with actual facts, and clear thinking.

Again, I can't do this alone.  Please do all you can to help.

P. S. Some of you DO make the effort to help already, and your efforts are much appreciated.  This admonishment is not directed to you, of course, nor to those of you who are new to all of this...
