The White House Budget Office
recently invented a new kind
of "generational" accounting,
so as to project a tax load
of 71% on future generations
of these citizens of the United
States [sic]. The final version
of their report upped that figure
to 82%. It is our duty to ensure
that this statutory slavery is
soon gone with the wind, just like
its grisly and ill-fated precedessor.
Slavery is now, finally, in its
death throes, and there will be
but few Americans who are privileged
to usher in its funeral and burial,
this time forever. The law of freedom
is just as sure as the law of gravity,
and just as sure as the invisible
Energy that powers and sustains the
entire universe. Mark these words.
The Lord Most High has spoken:
His image and likeness will not be
denied.

>> I've been looking for an answer to that question for years, now.
>> Finally, thanks to the government's efforts to accomplish that very goal
>> with a true patriot, and friend, I've found the answer.
>> I have, in front of me, a Plea Agreement for that friend. The deadline
>> has passed, and he is scheduled before a federal Grand Jury later this
>> month. The Agreement is about as contemptuous a document as I have ever
>> read. I will get into the details, but, first, some background. Although
>> the friend was arrested, and held for a few days, until released on his
>> own recognizance, there have yet to be any charges filed against him.
>> There were charges in the arrest affidavit, however they had not been
>> filed with the court, and we can find no record that there EVER were any
>> charges filed. After a while, the United States Attorney submitted the
>> Plea Agreement, and followed with a letter threatening to withdraw the
>> Agreement if it was not accepted by a certain date. That date has come
>> and gone, and I am free to release the information, except the name of
>> the patriot involved. This particular Agreement refers to an IRS code
>> violation, but, keep in mind, agreements could be submitted for nearly
>> any charge.
>> The Agreement, first, sets out the charge that will be sought. In this
>> case, a violation of 26 USC 1212(a). The maximum penalties (3 years in
>> prison and $250,000 fine) are set out. Then, a waiver of indictment give
>> up that Constitutionally protected right. Then comes the USG's agreement
>> to not go after the Defendants wife or company, but only if the
>> Agreement is accepted. If no adverse information is received, the USG
>> will not oppose the Defendant's request for a "two level downward"
>> adjustment from maximum sentencing guidelines. Whether the Court accepts
>> the Agreement, or not, the Defendant, once he signs the Agreement, is
>> bound to it's conditions. If accepted, the Defendant agrees to cooperate
>> and testify against "other persons". The USG will decide if the
>> cooperation and/or testimony qualifies as "substantial assistance" If
>> that "substantial assistance" is deemed worthy by the USG, prior to
>> sentencing, the USG will, recommend the two level downward adjustment.
>> "[T]he determination as to whether 'substantial assistance' has been
>> provided rests solely with the government, and the defendant agrees that
>> defendant cannot and will not challenge that decision whether by appeal,
>> collateral attack or otherwise."
>> As the Agreement continues, speedy trial is waived, as are any other
>> rights allegedly protected by the government/Constitution. The bottom
>> line -- anybody who accepts such a plea agreement has become an
>> informant, perhaps for the rest of his life. Leaving the determination
>> of "substantial assistance" on the USG leaves a means for the government
>> to induce unethical, immoral and illegal behavior of the defendant. In
>> order to satisfy the requirements, it would be easy for the government
>> to suggest that more information (falsified, or not) needed to be
>> provided to satisfy the provision. Perhaps disseminating information
>> that was meant to discredit someone, mislead people or just generally
>> create confusion and disorder would satisfy the government's requirement
>> for "substantial assistance." It might even be possible for someone to
>> entrap his friends, once the leverage was created by the Agreement.
>> Why would anyone agree to such an Agreement? Let's think about it.
>> First, to protect your spouse and family, there is a certain amount of
>> pressure to agree. If you own a business, or any property (asset
>> forfeiture), fear of its loss may be added to the influence. Finally,
>> any bar attorney would probably seek a minimum retainer of $25,000 to
>> defend a case such as this.
>> Just try and imagine yourself in such a situation. Idealistically, we
>> can all say, "No, I wouldn't sign it." But, realistically, the stakes
>> are very, very high, and it probably would not be difficult to succumb.
>> How many people that we know may have succumbed, already?
>> When you think of the power the government exerts over an individual
>> with an Agreement of this nature, visions come to mind of "involuntary
>> servitude". As harmless, as first glance (and your attorney's
>> encouragement) might make it appear to be, it is a concept that is so
>> evil on its face that it deserves to be equated with Hitler, Mussolini,
>> Stalin and Mao Tse Tung -- not with America.
>> Is there anything that we can do to help someone caught in this evil
>> web? Only if they are willing to come clean, and seek help from their
>> fellow patriots. If we are to shake off this "secret police" tactic, we
>> must be willing to stand by any who come out and admit to falling into a
>> Plea Agreement trap. Whatever assistance (substantial???) they may need
>> to avoid prosecution is warranted. When we consider the severity of
>> events currently engulfing us, it might be worth considering ANY support
>> necessary to remove the chains from those who have submitted. There are
>> two reasons for this necessity. First, we need every good man that is
>> available, and cannot hold such acts against him, if he is willing to
>> come clean. Second, and more important by far, is the fact that we need
>> to rid ourselves of the stigma that is associated with the control
>> asserted by government through these contemptible means.
>> A final thought, is much of the information that seems to permeate our
>> communications, and subsequently proven inaccurate, an indication of the
>> existence of these problems? Look at information sources, and their past
>> records of reliability with open and thorough consideration. The
>> reliability of information is more important now than ever before. If
>> someone's record is blemished with information that has proven to be
>> inaccurate, or predictions which have been proven untrue, perhaps a very
>> cautious regard should be applied to information from those same sources
>> in the future.
>>
>> ADDENDUM -- November 9, 1996. The proliferation of hacking that has
>> recently taken a toll on a number of patriotic Internet sources may be
>> indicative of 'informants' being created from hackers charged with
>> crimes, who have been offered plea agreements in exchange for services.
