re: Grand Jury Subpoena
Served on IRVIN HIEL PAUGH a/k/a/
BUTCH PAUGH [sic]
Dear
Grand Jury Foreperson:
At
the verbal request of My client, Pastor Butch Paugh,
I am writing this letter to challenge your alleged authority to issue a
subpoena upon Him to testify before your body.
We hereby document the reasons for Our challenge, as follows:
1. Janet
Reno has failed to produce any credentials in response to a proper and timely
Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA") request and appeal submitted for
same. In addition to the request and
appeal, a 10-day courtesy notice was also mailed to Ms. Reno. Her deadline for producing credentials was
5:00 p.m. on Friday, January 24, 1997.
Her failure to produce the requisite credentials means that she is now estopped from claiming any of the authorities which can be
exercised by the Attorney General, because her silence is a fraud, pursuant to U.S.
v. Tweel, and her silence activates estoppel, pursuant to Carmine v. Bowen. Thus, the U.S. Attorney(s) who signed the
subpoena to Pastor Paugh have no delegation of
authority at all.
2. The
federal Jury Selection and Service Act, 28 U.S.C. 1861 thru 1865, is
unconstitutional for exhibiting prohibited class discrimination against
Citizens of West Virginia state who are not also federal citizens. This is the case, even though each and every
member of your "grand jury" is otherwise qualified, according to the
requirements of this Act. The problem is
that the Act itself is unconstitutional, and its unconstitutionality dates from
the moment of its enactment. In several
federal cases around the nation, this challenge has been placed properly before
federal courts, but they are now obstructing justice by failing to rule on
it. Accordingly, your body is not a
lawful grand jury, and Pastor Butch Paugh cannot be
compelled to testify before a group of people who are not a lawful body.
3. Evidence
now shows that specific employees of the federal government receive financial
kick-backs upon obtaining federal grand jury indictments against the
"enemies" of the President.
These kick-backs include $25,000 per indictment to U.S.
Attorneys, and $35,000 per indictment to the President of the United
States. These kick-backs are being paid
under color of a defunct federal program called the Performance Management and
Recognition System ("PMRS"). A
FOIA request for all financial records of the PMRS system has been submitted to
the U.S. Department of the Treasury. A
staff attorney in the Treasury Department has responded by admitting that there
are no records for many PMRS kick-backs, because they were paid in CASH! Add to this the evidence of widespread
perjury and property conversion rackets within the Department of Justice, using
computer software which was stolen by that Department, and you have the makings
of a massive criminal conspiracy among employees of the U.S. Department of
Justice, the "Internal Revenue Service" [sic], and possibly
also the federal judiciary.
4. Recent
research has also proven that the federal judiciary has sabotaged the U.S.
Constitution and corrupted laws governing the conduct of the federal
courts. This has been done in part by
creating the false impression that the United States District Court
("USDC") has territorial and subject matter jurisdiction within the
several States of the Union, particularly over criminal prosecutions, when it
does not. The truth is that the USDC is
designed to adjudicate matters that arise within the federal zone, and the
District Court of the United States ("DCUS") is designed to
adjudicate matters that arise within the state zone. You will notice that the USDC is named on the
subpoena which you attempted to serve upon Pastor Paugh. This is a fraud upon you, upon Me, upon
Pastor Paugh, and upon all American People, who enjoy
the fundamental guarantee of due process of law. Sedition by syntax is not due process of law.
5. Last
but not least, I object to this blatant mistreatment of Pastor Butch Paugh, who is being persecuted in part because He has assumed
responsibility to raise funds to pay My legal fees for assisting His colleague,
Major General Ray Looker. DOJ attorneys
are now persecuting Looker's wife, a Chinese national who can barely speak
English. Why don't they pick on someone
their own size, like sewer rats? During
calendar 1996, I was denied over $35,000 in legal fees by a conspiracy of
agents, both known and unknown, who persuaded several of My clients to believe
a vicious lie that I am some kind of federal "agent" or
"government informant." I am
not. This latest move against Pastor Paugh is more evidence of a consistent and premeditated
pattern of lies, corruption, economic terrorism, and obstruction of justice,
instigated within the Department of Justice specifically to halt, or cripple,
the important research which I have been doing for more than 7 years now. Ask yourself this simple question: if Our challenge to the Jury Selection and
Service Act is "frivolous," then why don't the judges just deny
it?
For
your edification, We have attached to this letter a number of essays, and
additional documents, which constitute material evidence to support the
challenges which We bring to you in this letter. These documents also constitute probable
cause to charge the U.S. Attorney(s) in Pastor Paugh's
case with fraud, jury tampering, and perjury of oath, not to mention a host of
other criminal violations of pertinent federal laws. See Title 18, United States Code, Sections
241 and 242, for example.
Please
give all this evidence your careful and considerate attention.
The
future of this nation is riding on what you do.
Sincerely
yours,
/s/
