Someone complained to the domain registrar about the the domain. The result was that the domain names were temporarily locked by the domain registrar and would not resolve from 7/25 to 7/29. The web servers were up, but the domain names did not properly resolve to the correct IP addresses, making the website appear to be unreachable.
We have not been able to verify who the complaining party was. We suspect it was the IRS, because ALL the domain names had the same problem at the same time, including those that used other domain registrars. We will let you know who it was when we hear back from the registrar about the complaining party.
We have since taken measures to protect ourselves from these types of attacks upon our domain names. We can't tell you the measures we have taken because we don't want them circumvented or compromised.
In the future, please bookmark the IP addresses of our websites IN ADDITION to the domain names for your records in case the domain names become unreachable.

Thanks for your concern. We ain't going anywhere and we will NEVER allow ANYONE to shut us up as the main source of authoritative, well-researched freedom information on the internet. Come hades or high water, the information we provide ALWAYS will be available to the public for free. There is no hope for improvement or reform of the corruption of our legal system and government unless this information is widely and publically available to everyone who is interested and everyone who wants a law abiding, accountable, constitutional, and limited government. The goals of this website have NOTHING to do with tax freedom, tax protest, or tax defying. Instead, our goal is political and legal reform, law enforcement, and crime prevention. The only thing we protest is CRIME and violations of law, not taxes.
This is the first type of attack like this that we have suffered in the seven years that Family Guardian has been in existence. We learned a lot dealing with it. In the end, however, they have made our defenses MUCH stronger. Now it's going to be a LOT harder to pull the same trick again. Thanks be to whoever did this in the government.

We also expect that DVD orders on SEDM of the content of Family Guardian will increase.

Whenever the existence of our website is threatened, interest in an archive of its content is considerably heightened. Thanks in advance to the government for improving donations to this ministry because of their schemes to shut down this website and censor the truth from public view and discourse.
