Readers of 'Cracking the Code- The Fascinating Truth About Taxation In America' have already retained or taken back well over
from the federal and state governments-- including Social Security and Medicare 'contributions'-- and kept it in their own pockets where it belongs, simply by knowing what the law actually says. These Americans have gotten back every penny they've paid or had withheld from them during the year in connection with the "income tax", and have secured written acknowledgements that they owed nothing-- many for several years in a row now.
YOU NEED TO KNOW THE TRUTH, TOO!!

How To Apply For A Union State, and now Canadian or Australian, CtC Forum Membership
NOTE: In response to requests from the growing ranks of CtC-educated Canadian and Australian lovers of liberty and students of the law, CtC Warrior groups are now forming in those two countries! To join either group simply proceed as described below.
The ONLY way to join a CtC state forum (which includes the Canadian and Australian CtC Warrior forums for purposes of this process) is by submitting the request specified at www.losthorizons.com/tax/StateGroups.htm precisely as instructed on that page.
Once you have applied for membership in a state group, you will receive a "Welcome" message within a few weeks either from me directly, or through a "noreply"@"googlegroups.com email (depending on which type of group I have created for your state). You must carefully read through this message, and follow all the instructions therein exactly in order to be able to participate in the group. (If your "Welcome" message is for my invitation to a Google group, bear in mind that a "gmail account" is NOT the kind of Google account that is needed to participate in a Google group.)
IF YOU'VE ALREADY APPLIED TO JOIN A STATE GROUP AND ARE WONDERING WHY YOU'RE NOT GETTING ANY GROUP EMAILS, you probably applied for a state using a Google group but haven't ever accepted the invitation to join! Completing the application for those groups (which currently include Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Utah Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin) requires clicking on the link in the "Welcome" email that says "You can accept this invitation by...". Doing so will bring up a page that tells you that "you cannot view the group content or participate in the group because you are not currently a member". You must click the "Sign in to Google Groups" link on that page in order to proceed to where you can accept the invitation to join the group (this will involve creating a Google group account if you don't already have one).
IF YOU CAN'T FIND THE ORIGINAL "WELCOME" MESSAGE YOU RECEIVED, go to http://groups.google.com/grphp?hl=en&tab=wg. In the top search field type the name of the group to which you applied (i.e. GeorgiaCtCWarriors, NewYorkCtCWarriors-- others will use the same format). Click on the "Search groups" button alongside that field. On the page that is invoked, click the hyperlink that consists of the group name and nothing else (That is, NOT the one that says "Groups matching NewYorkCtCWarriors"). That will take you to a page that tells you that "you cannot view the group content or participate in the group because you are not currently a member". You must click the "Sign in to Google Groups" link on that page in order to proceed to where you can accept the invitation to join the group (this will involve creating a Google group account if you don't already have one). NOTE: You must use the same email address to create your account and/or log-in that you provided when first applying to me for the group.
A Word To CtC State And National Forum Participants
Just so everyone understands (and not meaning to sound too impatient): The forums do not exist to provide venues in which some folks can be made to spend their time and energy explaining to others why various notions, theories or silver-bullets which appear nowhere either in CtC or on this site (but are nonetheless floating around-- or raging through-- the "tax honesty" community) are incorrect or irrelevant (click here for a partial list of these erroneous notions, and detailed comments about many of them).
I will say as plainly as possible what I have by necessity said many times before, but usually with more circumspection (and can't seem to say often enough): Any and all notions concerning the nature of the "income" tax-- how it is applied, why it can be thus applied, how it interfaces with the legal system and so forth-- which are not taught in CtC or on this site (exclusive of forum posts, of course) are just inherently wrong or are entirely irrelevant to the tax. They are raised or promoted either in ignorance or for ill purposes.
Such notions should not be debated or discussed-- doing either is a waste of valuable time and energy. There is one kind of simple response that is appropriate when presented with "alternative" or "supplemental" notions of this sort:
or,
or,
If this gentle approach isn't effective, direct your correspondent to 'The Deniers Page'. If that doesn't suffice, let me know so that I can remove this individual-- now revealed as either uneducable or a deliberate "agent provocateur"-- from the forum.
Keep in mind that those who wish to keep the truth spinning its wheels, and making as little forward progress as possible, routinely and systematically exploit two basic human foibles:
1. The natural tendency of those whose education is incomplete to mistake sporadic, creative (and carefully indirect)-- but well publicized-- tax agency resistance to a few educated filings as meaning that there is some piece of the puzzle missing (imagining that otherwise, the generations-old scam that even now continues to successfully bamboozle 180 million Americans 24/7 would have just thrown in the towel and abandoned the field, rather than continue to cast about for some silver-bullet of its own that will frighten or confuse students of the truth into retreat or disarray); and
2. The equally natural tendency of everyone to be attracted to notions that are presented as, or appear to be, resistance-risk-reducing tricks or short-cuts.
Thus, there is a constant effort to seed the "tax honesty" community (and CtC forums directly) with notions designed to invoke both of these unfortunate tendencies in order to distract forum participants from their primary purposes of:
I rely on everyone posting on any forum to help keep it in focus, and productive. Posts amounting to offenses of the sort described above, persistent straying from the three primary purposes of the forum, or evidence of a failure to keep current with the Lost Horizons newsletters may result in removal from the forum without prior notice.

A page devoted to the 9/11 pretext and how it's being used "What luck for the rulers that men do not think."
Those continuing to be taken in by the ridiculous and thoroughly-debunked mythology about the events of 9/11 endlessly promoted and exploited by enemies of the Constitution and its informing principles of individual liberty and limited government under the rule of law really need to wake up, and do so quickly.

Purchasing power of nominal "dollars" from 1800 through 1989. Each trough (including the one that began in 1933 and continues to the present time) occurred during suspensions of the gold standard. Chart prepared by the George Edward Durell Foundation and published in the Durell Journal of Money and Banking, November, 1989.
Enjoy this video of Congressman Ron Paul on the looming meltdown of the Federal Reserve "dollar".
...and click here to learn a little about the "Amero".
Moving to the subject of REAL money...
Bernard Von Nothaus of Norfed has filed a lawsuit against the United States Mint over its characterization of the use of "Liberty Dollars" as criminal. Among much other amusing and outrageous nonsense in its accusation, the Mint makes the ludicrously self-serving observation that,
Word to the Mint: Liberty Dollars DO "look like real money", but not because they have markings and design characteristics similar to those of your products. Liberty Dollars "look like real money" because, being actual gold and silver, they ARE REAL MONEY, unlike your debased and fiat trash, of which the best that can be said is that it is carefully contrived to look like real money...
I wish Bernard justice.
The DOJ and U.S. Mint make a pathetic, mendacious reply to the Liberty Dollar lawsuit...
...and then a truly outrageous one...
A good article on this subject can be seen here; and another here.
More from Ron Paul on this subject.

At the time of this posting, 1 oz. of gold could buy a minimum of 1199.00 Federal Reserve "dollars"-- the real value of which extends not one penny further than the actual reciprocal indebtedness of others to the federal government (and guess what: The federal government is, by far, a net debtor). You do the math and make the predictions...
(The Gold to FRN trading ratio indicated above is based on actual best asking price, which is considerably above present "spot" pricing, due to the fact that little, if any, actual physical gold is being made available for trade by anyone at any price these days.)
A good video about the relative and historic value of real money versus fiat money can be seen here

PLEASE CONTINUE TO DILIGENTLY SPREAD THE WORD!!!
There is nothing you or anyone else can do that better serves the interests of all of us hoping for the restoration of liberty in our lifetimes than to calmly, patiently, and ceaselessly furnish others with opportunities to educate themselves. Pass out or sell copies of 'Cracking the Code-..' to anyone showing a willingness to read the book-- especially young people. Bear in mind that significant discounts are available starting with as few as 6 copies. Direct the more skeptical or apathetic to losthorizons.com, where their level of interest and education can be raised.
Focus special effort on those already engaged in political activism, regardless of their current cause. Direct the attention of activists on the tax issue who are pursuing the many dead-end (and often dangerous) misunderstandings that have plagued this subject to The Deniers Page. Point out, to those who are active on other political or policy fronts, that seeking to restrain government by ANY means other than enforcing the Founder's structure of limitations and political accountability on government's access to resources is like trying to make a balloon smaller by squeezing it. In other words, an utterly futile effort.
In this latter regard, remember that while the "income" tax is the main, direct focus of 'Cracking the Code-..', the underlying legal structure which the book reveals is simply one of the concrete expressions of the fundamental jurisdictional limitations imposed by the Founders on the federal government (and the most elemental principles of law). These fundamental limitations, and legal principles, also inform and control every other aspect of the federal statutory structure. Thus, a widespread comprehension of the lessons of 'Cracking the Code-..' is a stake poised over the heart of every federal effort to get the bit between its teeth and run wild.
A variety of resources are available to help with outreach. Use the press release, the legal professional contact letter, the 'Brief Introduction To The Truth', any and all of the vast array of information posted at losthorizons.com, and the video and audio resources.
Share the "Income Tax Flow Chart" and the "Income Tax IQ Test" with everyone you know. Make and submit your own video testimony. Use the printable flyers and other materials available below.

A Pocket-Sized Tool For Spreading The Word!
Virginia Warrior Robert Gegugeit has begun producing some excellent-quality, fully-laminated, rounded-corner playing-card-size handouts, a mediocre scan of which can be seen below (the sheen from the lamination makes some portions look faded in this image):
Robert has been producing and passing these out (and leaving them in public places, under windshield wipers, etc.) at his own trouble and expense, and will continue to do so. However, if you want to take part, Robert will send these out to those interested at 10 cents a piece in lots of 250 or 1000. Send your money order donation of $25 or $100 to: DIJN Ministries, P.O. Box 24289, Richmond VA 23224 (Be sure to specify CtC Handouts, and provide your return address.)

P. S....
For want of a nail a shoe was lost...
PLEASE!!!
Don't fail or forget to send me scans of your victories, and vigorously encourage others to do the same!!!
I am aware that educated Americans are now receiving refunds (and other confirmations of the truth) constantly-- but only a small minority of these victories are being sent to me for posting.
Some people are so excited at their success that they rush to deposit the check, and don't think to make a copy until afterwards when it is too late; others simply don't realize how meaningful the evidence of these victories and verifications are to their fellow Americans, and don't remember how important those previously posted had been to they themselves when they were struggling to overcome the fear instilled in them over a lifetime before standing up and doing the right thing.
SCAN THEM AND SEND THEM, PLEASE! (And do so as soon as you can! Don't delay, even for other expected victories. Send each as they are won. Although I hate to point it out, life is an unpredictable adventure, and it is given to none of us to know the future. Something could happen to any of us tomorrow, and it would be a shame if your fellows were denied the encouragement and inspiration of your victory because you delayed sharing it and then could not.)
By the way, even direct-deposit refunds can be posted, by way of your monthly statement entries, or a transcript from your bank. If you have RETAINED your own property by way of a CtC-educated proper filing and rebuttal of erroneous information, get a transcript of your 'account' status, calculate your savings, and share that victory, too!
Send your evidence of the truth to me at phendrickson @ losthorizons.com (take the spaces out of this address to make it functional). If possible, scan checks in color at 300dpi. Black and white docs should be scanned at 300dpi in 8-bit grayscale. If scans are not possible for some reason, tell me so by email and I'll offer alternative solutions.
I love and respect everyone that has joined me in standing up for the rule of law, but doing it in hiding is only doing it halfway! I know that the reasons for failing to send scans that I have given above are true of some-- but others have simply been intimidated into silence.
If YOU stay silent and in the shadows, THE BAD GUYS WIN.
Period.

Another Way To Help Spread The Word
READING A "MAINSTREAM" ARTICLE ON THE WEB THE OTHER NIGHT, I encountered a typical misstatement of the purpose and effect of the 16th Amendment such as we all see all the time.
