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.
