Terry Neal's reviewer also went to jail, 2004-07-18
The favorable review above of Larry Turpen must be seen in the light that Larry Turpen himself has just plead guilty to felony tax evasion.Crooks of a feather flock together.
Aaron Young, the CEO of Laughlin International dba Laughlin Associates, also plead guilty along with Neal and will also be spending a year in federal prison

The real crooks are those in The State who are stealing money from taxpayers via taxes (robbery) and inflation (thievery). I'd suggest that these crooks in the massive organized crime family known as the US Government are maliciously prosecuting T.L. Neal. I'd also note that an accusation does not mean someone is guilty, and that even if that is so, it is completely irrelevant to the advice given in this book (Dr. Atkins died of a heart-attack; that in no way impacts the debate on the health of his dietary plan). We should praise T.L. Neal for trying to help the victims of taxes and inflation.

The GOONS don't want you to READ THIS, 2003-05-04
This book is an extremely well written, lucid, compelling introduction to the "whys", "hows", historical-foundation, and MORAL bases of using "passive resistance" (as opposed to armed rebellion) to reclaim *your* life and *our* country from the welfare state and the statists who have kidnapped our Constitution. ...
Well, I have been reading the book and it has been a very pleasant surprise. Mr. Neal doesn't merely present the technical aspects of various privacy options, he presents a brief but extremely complete and fascinating overview of the history of money, the thinking of this nation's Founding Fathers, and how the Fed creates dollars "out of thin air" in order to collect additional taxes by stealth and help keep everyone subjugated...
Is THIS government what you want for your children? Our Founding Fathers risked there lives to give us freedom: economic as well as religious and political. They said things such as "Give me liberty or give me death" and "That Government governs best which governs least". They would be appalled at how their work has been perverted and how oblivious most of us are to what has been done to their work.
This is an excellent, fascinating book. Buy it. If there was an option for ten stars, I would give it ten. When you get chances to vote AGAINST *both* the Republicans and the Democrats, take them. Both of these parties worship Big Goverment. If you get a safe chance to choke off the funding of government, do it. The only way to stop the growth of this monster is to take away its food. Our Founding Fathers knew what would happen if government got unobstructed access to unlimited tax monies, as it has now obtained. Quoting from Mr. Neal's book, "Thomas Paine summed up these feelings [of the Founders] when he said: 'The punishment of a member (of Congress) who should move for such a law [as fiat money] ought to be death.'" So how come the statists are alive and Mr. Neal is in jail?

A primer for jail time, 2003-01-07
Jan 2, 2003... Offshore financier Terry L. Neal, in U.S. custody since last Friday in criminal tax evasion charges, has been denied bail on the basis of flight risk. In a brief hearing Thursday afternoon in Portland, Ore., duty Magistrate Don Ashmanskas in United States District Court for the District of Oregon cited Mr. Neal's extensive offshore dealings through Caribbean tax havens.
Mr. Neal was represented in court by defence counsel Ronald Hoevet of Hoevet Snyder & Boise, while the lead prosecutor is Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Ross. Mr. Neal was supported in court by numerous of his seven children and 19 grandchildren. Mr. Hoevet confirms a detention appeal hearing is set for Tuesday, Jan. 7, before Judge Garr King, and he will seek Mr. Neal's release on his own recognizance, possibly with a condition of electronic monitoring.
Magistrate Ashmanskas also unsealed a criminal arrest warrant, in which the Internal Revenue Service claims Mr. Neal neglected to declare more than $7-million in penny stock trading income from 1994 to 1996 through accounts in Vancouver, primarily now defunct brokerage C.M. Oliver and the downtown Vancouver branch of Bank of Montreal. (All figures are in U.S. dollars.) Mr. Neal made his first court appearance on Dec. 27 before Judge John Delkerks, hours after being arrested.
