Dear Mrs. Richardson,

Many years ago, I tried to find within the Internal Revenue Code the section which created your agency, but I was unable to do so. I then decided to locate other sources of information regarding how the Internal Revenue Service was established and what I found was nothing short of amazing.

In 1972, an Internal Revenue Manual 1100 was published in both the Federal Register and Cumulative Bullet; see 37 Fed. Reg. 20960, 1972-2 Cum. Bul. 836, a copy of which is attached for your convenience. On the very first page of this statement which was published in the Bulletin, the following admission was made:

"(3) By common parlace [sic] and understanding of the time, an office of the importance of the Office of Commissioner of Internal Revenue was a bureau. The Secretary of the Treasury in his report at the close of the calendar year 1862 stated that 'The Bureau of Internal Revenue has been organized under the Act of the last session...' Also it can be seen that Congress had intended to establish a Bureau of Internal Revenue, or thought they had, from the act of March 3, 1863, in which provision was made for the President to appoint with Senate confirmation a Deputy Commissioner of Internal Revenue 'who shall be charged with such duties in the bureau of internal revenue as maybe prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury, or as may be required by law, and who shall act as Commissioner of Internal Revenue in the absence of that officer, and exercise the privilege of franking all letters and documents pertaining to the office of internal revenue.' In other words, 'the office of internal revenue' was 'the bureau of internal revenue,' and the act of July 1, 1862, is the organic act of today's Internal Revenue Service."

I have no doubt that when employees of the IRS were researching its origins so that this statement could be included within IRM 1100, those employees must have performed a very thorough investigation. This obviously is the best position that your agency can develop regarding precisely how the IRS came into being. But besides the problem that these acts simply did not create either the Bureau or the IRS is the fact that these acts were repealed by the adoption of the Revised Statutes of 1873. Therefore, it would appear that your agency has never been created by any act of Congress, and this is a serious flaw.

An act of legislative body is essential to create a public office. At the state level, it is a well acknowledged rule that a duly constituted office of state government must be created either by the state constitution itself or by some legislative act; see Patton v. Bd. Of Health, 127 Ca. 388, 393, 59 P. 702, 704 (1899) ("One of the requisites is that the office must be created by the constitution of the state or it must be authorized by some statute"); First Nat. Bank of Columbus v. State, 80 Neb. 597, 114 N.W. 772, 773 (1908); State ex rel. Peyton v. Cunningham, 39 Mont. 197, 103 P. 497, 498 (1909); State ex rel. Stage v.

State, 22 Ohio App. 462, 153, N.E. 876, 877 (1926) ("Unless the office existed there could be no officer either de facto or de jure.

Commissioner, 138 F.2d 1006, 1009 (6th Cir. 1943).

Since I have reached the conclusion that the IRS has never been created by Congress, I am asking you to provide to me the citation of any statute which really did create the IRS. Since this is a question of profound national importance, I request that you provide an answer to me within 20 days. Failing a response within that time period, I shall conclude that you cannot find any such statute and shall act accordingly.

Sincerely,
Devvy Kidd

I quote the Denver Post, April 13, 1997 (two days before National Extortion Day):

Weaker IRS May Favor The Wealthy

Middle Incomers Would Suffer Most, Experts Say

by George Rodrique, The Dallas Morning News

"The chief losers, they add, would be the vast majority of middle-class wage earners who pay their taxes voluntarily."

We do? With a gun to our head we are forced to "volunteer." I would highly recommend that the grassroots members of the two "main" political parties out there ask Jr. New World Order George (Bush), McCain, Forbes, Bradley or Red Al (Gore), when they are going to stand in front of this nation and tell people the truth about the unholy alliance between the un-Federal Reserve and the IRS. In case you missed it, please read my piece about the swindle going on and where IRS funds really go.

And now for the kicker. Larry Becraft sent me a set of court papers in the case of:

Diversified Metal Products, Inc., Plaintiff, v. T-Bow Company Trust, Internal Revenue Service, and Steve Morgan. Case No. CV 93-4117, Complaint for Impleader. In the District court of the Seventh Judicial District of The State of Idaho, In And For The County Of Bonneville Magistrates Court.

I was floored when I read these documents and will extract only two items from this paperwork which speak volumes:

In the Complaint for Impleader, prepared by the attorneys for plaintiff, page one, item #4:

Defendant Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is an agency of the United States government which has presented to Plaintiff a lien against monies to which Defendant Steve Morgan, or presumably Defendant T-Bow Company Trust for him, may be entitled.

Now let us look at the response of the Attorneys for the United States of America, prepared by Betty Richardson, United States Attorney, Box 32, Boise, Idaho 83707. Civil No. 93-405-E-EJL, United States' Answer and Claim re: Diversified Metal Products, Inc., Plaintiff v. T-Bow Company Trust, Internal Revenue Service and Steve Morgan, Defendants, page 4, item #4:

Denies (the U.S. government) that the Internal Revenue Service is an agency of the United States government but admits that the United States of America would be a proper party to this action. Admits that the IRS has served a Notice of Levy on plaintiff for funds owed to defendant Steve Morgan.

Now wait just a minute! The liars, I mean lawyers, for your government state that the IRS is not an agency of the government. My letter to then Commissar of the IRS, Maggie Richardson clearly lays out the truth of the matter and yet, day in and day out, this rogue operation continues to put people in jail for not volunteering to "pay their fair share."

If anyone thinks these crooks, cowards and criminals in the Congress (with the exception of a few who are kinda, sorta letting the truth out), are going to come clean to the American people, think again. If you think Dan Blather or any of the other liars-for-hire who make millions every night on the nightly "news," will ever broadcast the truth, think again. It's up to US to broadcast the truth and I hope you will send this piece to everyone you know who has a computer and if you know someone who doesn't have a computer, make a copy and send it to them. Tell the recipient to make ten copies and keep doing that - we can reach millions of people in a short period of time using this method. You might send this over to your house member there in Congress. The big-shot won't read it but the staff might....
