IRS Reveals "Silence Advocacy Project"
IRS Reveals "Silence Advocacy Project"
IRS Looks to Nixon Era Model For Punishing War Protestors
Dear Friends:
For those following my continuing battle to expose IRS wrongdoing and the IRS’s attempts to silence and discredit me for doing so, you will recall that on January 23rd, 2004 I submitted to the Secretary of the Treasury a 50 page appeal of Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Moran’s “Initial Decision” to “disbar” me from “practice” before the IRS. (www.freedomabovefortune.com , click on “IRS LOCKOUT UPDATE” and scroll down near the bottom of the document list)
I just received word that the IRS has filed a legal brief replying to my appeal to the Secretary. I have not yet read the IRS’s reply brief but my attorneys say it is truly startling because the IRS actually admits its true objective – a “Silence Advocacy Project”. That's right...the IRS wants to use the “DOP” (Director of Practice) as a secret police force to monitor and punish political advocacy. This secret police force is based on a very similar Nixon-era secret group within the IRS used to punish war protestors in the late 60s. Is it any surprise that the agency fought so hard to limit all discovery (my right to learn details about the government’s evidence and witnesses) in the case against me? Is it any surprise that the IRS is desperately fighting my appeal?
The “Silence Advocacy Project” uses the IRS Director of Practice and its little Hoover-like enforcers such as Mr. David Finz (whom my counselors of law proved committed perjury in my case) to silence all advocates and advocacy it disfavors. First, these enforcers monitored my political appearances, then admitted that the referral of the IRS complaint against me resulted from my talk radio appearances. (Apparently IRS officials simply can not tolerate one of their former criminal investigators telling America the truth about the agency’s deceitful and illegal practices.) Where did the IRS acquire the authority to engage in such monitoring of 1st Amendment activities?
