> It is becoming increasing apparent, in large part because of
>a conspiracy of silence which has descended upon the District of
>Columbia in recent months, that President Clinton has a lot of
>explaining to do, in quite a few executive departments. One of
>the best suppressed stories of his administration thus far is
>evidence of White House kick-backs from the Internal Revenue
>Service ("IRS") for each and every indictment issued by federal
>grand juries against "illegal tax protestors," whatever they are.
>
> The term itself is an oxymoron, because protest has never
>been illegal in America. Protest is even recognized by the
>federal government's precious Uniform Commercial Code for
>repudiating presentments in a lawful manner. So, for the phrase
>"illegal tax protestor" to withstand the obvious constitutional
>challenge (yes, the First Amendment is still the supreme Law in
>America), the adjective "illegal" must modify the noun "tax."
>This is a telling admission on the part of our vaulted Congress
>of what many Americans have known for a long time, namely, the
>federal income tax is a total and utter fraud, from stem to
>stern. Our Ship of State is a sieve at sea that's riddled with
>loop-holes and sinking fast.
>
> What makes this term even more obnoxious is the way in which
>the IRS now attacks American "rebels" who dare to learn and speak
>the truth. A key page from the Internal Revenue Manual ("IRM")
>clearly shows that the President routinely receives $35,000 from
>the Performance Management and Recognition System ("PMRS"). We
>have a political prisoner in federal custody right now who is
>prepared to testify that the President receives this sum each and
>every time a federal grand jury issues an indictment against any
>illegal tax protestor ("ITP"). U.S. Attorneys receive a mere
>$25,000 per indictment of ITP's.
>
> Now, if the Department of Justice ("DOJ") has a secret task
>force in place to attack ITP's who've become organized, like the
>former Pilot Connection Society which has been reported to have
>over 5,000 members, the President stands to rake in a tidy sum if
>his hench-persons in the DOJ succeed in bringing grand jury
>indictments against all 5,000. Let's see, 5,000 times $35,000
>equals $175,000,000. The bad news for President Clinton is that
>the IRM provides absolutely no authority for these "performance
>recognition rewards" (read "kick-backs"). Courts have
>consistently ruled that the IRM has no more authority than a
>pizza recipe, when it comes to authorizing salaries and other
>
>
> The Kick-Back Racket: Page 1 of 3
>
>compensation for federal government employees. Federal employee
>salaries must be determined by Acts of Congress, and the IRM is a
>far cry from that high standard of law.
>
> Furthermore, the Constitution forbids the President from
>receiving any other "emoluments" during his term of office. See
>Article II, Section 1, Clause 7: "... he shall not receive within
>that Period any other Emolument from the United States, or any of
>them." A FOIA request by this author for all PMRS records
>produced an admission, on Treasury Department letterhead, that
>some records do not exist because the rewards were paid in cash.
>This is bad enough. But, when you couple these kick-backs with
>the perjury racket now rampant within the Department of Just US,
>and with a grand jury system which badly needs either complete
>overhaul or abolition, you quickly find that the indictments
>issuing from federal grand juries, for alleged violations of the
>Internal Revenue Code, are really threats, engineered by the
>biggest extortion racket this planet has ever seen. Jury
>tampering, perjury, and obstruction of justice are terms which do
>a far better job of describing what is really going on.
>
> In one recent grand jury case, involving a subpoena for
>certain books and records, a federal judge in Arizona conspired
>with the Assistant U.S. Attorney ("AUSA") to commit 27 counts of
>mail fraud, 27 counts of jury tampering, 27 counts of obstruction
>of justice, and 27 counts of conspiracy to commit all of the
>above. When a formal request was submitted to that grand jury to
>investigate probable violations of federal law by the AUSA, the
>judge intercepted this certified request, and all subsequent
>pleadings which were then directed to the grand jury by Counsel
>in order to keep them informed of what was really going on.
>These pleadings contained crucial evidence -- you guessed it --
>of the PMRS kick-back racket, and of a pattern of pathological
>lying by the AUSA dating back to a $4,797 fine imposed on him for
>repeatedly lying to a federal court in Phoenix. This was
>unprecedented for federal courts who almost never eat their own.
>
> Last but not least, the evidence is now overwhelming that
>the law which Congress enacted to qualify and convene all juries,
>both grand and trial, is horribly defective for exhibiting
>obvious class bias against state Citizens who are not also
>federal citizens. The courts have consistently ruled that
>Americans can be state Citizens without also being federal
>citizens, whether or not the federal government's precious
>Fourteenth Amendment was properly approved and adopted (and we
>now know that it was not). Unfortunately for Congress, this
>class discrimination in the Jury Selection and Service Act, Title
>28 United States Code Sections 1861 thru 1865, invalidates each
>and every federal grand jury indictment, and each and every
>federal trial jury verdict, ever since the end of the Civil War.
>
> The United States is now in very deep trouble for putting so
>many Americans in federal prisons, with absolutely no lawful
>authority whatsoever to do so. Couple that with the fact that
>the U.S. incarceration rate is twice as high as it is in South
>Africa, which is second world-wide in prisoners per capita.

>>
>>Subject: IRS Kick-Backs to President from the
>> Performance Management and Recognition System
>> ("PMRS")
>>
>>Dear Mr. Starr:
>>
>>I have evidence in my possession which implicates President
>>William Jefferson Clinton in the receipt of illegal IRS kick-
>>backs from a defunct federal program called Performance
>>Management and Recognition System ("PMRS"). As of yesterday, the
>>Alta Vista search engine found some 20 documents on the Internet
>>which mention this system.
>>
>>To obtain more information about PMRS, I have already submitted a
>>Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA") request to the Department of
>>the Treasury for all financial records of the PMRS. Quite to my
>>surprise, Mr. Mark L. Zolton wrote back to explain that some
>>records do not exist, because the rewards were paid in cash.
>>
>>For your information, I have decided to become rather politically
>>active in this matter. Enclosed please find my essay entitled
>>"The Kick-Back Racket: Performance Management and Recognition
>>System," which I enclose for your consideration and review.
>>
>>Please accept this as my firm offer to testify before a competent
>>and qualified federal grand jury in this matter. I wish this
>>matter to be investigated fully, and that is the main reason why
>>I have brought it to your attention at this time.
>>
>>If I can assist you, or any others in your office, in the course
>>of investigating PMRS, please contact me immediately.
>>
>>Thank you very much for your consideration.

>>
>>Subject: FOIA for PMRS records Control Number: 249346-96
>>
>>Dear Mr. Ryan:
>>
>>Thank you for your letter to me, dated October 24, 1996.
>>
>>As you can see from my original FOIA request, dated July 26,
>>1996, (copy attached), I requested certified copies of the PMRS
>>records. My FOIA appeal was based, in part, on your
>>organization's failure to provide certified copies, so as to
>>render them admissible in a court of law, if necessary.
>>
>>Secondly, Mr. Mark L. Zolton, Tax Law Specialist in the FOIA
>>Branch, wrote to me on September 12, 1996, explaining that my
>>original FOIA request was not specific enough to allow you to
>>conduct a search for the records that are of interest to me. A
>>transcription of his letter is attached, for your information.
>>Evidently, Mr. Zolton needed specific years for which I was
>>interested in obtaining records. I timely responded to Mr.
>>Zolton in writing on September 19, 1996 (see attached).
>>
>>Thirdly, Mr. Zolton's letter contained an amazing admission that
>>awards made under PMRS took the form of cash payments or quality
>>step in-grade promotions. If there are no records of said cash
>>payments, this raises the ugly specter of widespread federal
>>income tax evasion by recipients of these cash payments,
>>including possibly the President. The American People have a
>>right to know who received these cash payments, when, and how
>>much. The FOIA imposes no requirement upon me to demonstrate
>>relevance or materiality of these records, however.
>>
>>Therefore, I am entirely unsatisfied with the response(s) of your
>>organization to date, and demand that you refrain from closing
>>your administrative appeal file in this matter.
>>
>>Finally, please be advised that I do not accept U.S. mail from
>>the federal government, or from any of its agencies, assigns,
>>colorable trusts, or instrumentalities, with two-letter federal
>>abbreviations (e.g. "AZ") or with unqualified ZIP codes. Since
>>you may not have known this, I have made an exception solely for
>>the purpose of explaining my position and future intent to you.
>>This is to inform you that I will refuse any such mail from you
>>in the future, unless it is directed to the correct mailing
>>location shown above. Please see USPS Publication #221 for
>>details.
>>
>>Thank you very much for your consideration. I will look forward
>>to your continued cooperation in this matter.
>>

>>Dear Mr. Mitchell:
>>
>> This is in reponse to your July 26, 1996, Freedom of
>>Information Act (FOIA) request for all financial records of the
>>Performance Management and Recognition System (PMRS). Your
>>request was forwarded to us by the Office of Disclosure Services,
>>Department of the Treasury, so that we can respond to you
>>directly. We apologize for the delay in responding.
>>
>> Unfortunately, your request is not specific enough to allow
>>us to conduct a search for the records that are of interest to
>>you. For example, you have not stated the years for which you
>>are interested in obtaining records. Please be advised that the
>>PMRS has not existed for the last 3 years. In addition, it is
>>our understanding that awards made under PMRS took the form of
>>cash payments or quality step in-grade promotions. Therefore,
>>the types of financial records associated with awards made under
>>PMRS did not include the kinds of records mentioned in your
>>request. It would be helpful if you could be more specific in
>>descibing the desired records.
>>
>> Accordingly, you may wish to reformulate your request to
>>assist us in finding the responsive material. If you decide to
>>do so, your perfected request will receive our close attention.

>>Dear Mr. Zolton:
>>
>>Thank you for your letter to Me, dated September 12, 1996.

>>In that letter, you say that We failed to state the years for
