Re: Criminal Complaints
ENCLOSURES
Dear Mr. LaFortune:
Enclosed your will find an affidavit of criminal complaint
to be filed with your office against several people who serve in
the Federal system, an inspector for the Internal Revenue
Service, and several "John & Jane Doe" defendants.
Presently I'm not concerned about the John & Jane Doe
defendants, but would like for you to begin a sealed
investigation, notify named defendants that complaints have been
filed, and secure information requested in the suggested
subpoenas duces tecum. If we can work together to that extend
for the present, the larger picture will take shape as we move
into the case.
Of particular significance, one of the enclosures you will
find includes a copy of an agreement effected between the
Oklahoma Tax Commission and the Commissioner of Internal Revenue
in 1982-83, with my letter to the chairman of the Oklahoma Tax
Commission, Commissioner Anderson. Probably the letter to
Commissioner Anderson will provide you the best grounding so far
as understanding appropriate application of taxing authority,
administration, etc. I composed this letter of complaint a week
or so ago, then stumbled across "qualified state income tax"
regulations that turned on the light so far as seeing how the
whole diabolical scheme works. Early Friday morning, May 16, my
wife and I drove to the Capitol where we secured a copy of the
administrative agreement from the Oklahoma Tax Commission.
In addition to individual complaints being filed with your
office, I am filing a complaint against the Internal Revenue
Service, officers of the various Article IV United States
District Courts, etc., with the Oklahoma Attorney General, W. A.
Drew Edmondson, for more general prosecution under the Oklahoma
Corrupt Organization Act. I will also file complaints via Janet
Reno, the United States Attorney General, under the Anti-
Terrorist Act, with the demand for a special prosecutor.
I am fully aware of the politics involved, so the letter to
Commissioner Anderson and the OTC-Commissioner of Internal
Revenue agreement will be generally distributed to the Oklahoma
Legislature with an appropriate cover letter. There will be a
state-by-state initiative following Oklahoma's lead as people in
other states secure copies of agreements executed in their
respective states and unravel state law, so Oklahoma isn't alone,
nor will your efforts be in isolation.

Since we haven't met, and I have no idea what your personal
principles and ideology might be, I assure you that I understand
your situation so far as the office of district attorney is
concerned. The statutory office of district attorney is pivotal
so far as operation of a de facto scheme known as "Cooperative
Federalism" -- the office is construed as an instrumentality of
the corporate State operating as a Federal instrumentality. Huge
chunks of your funding come through Federal grants and various
incentive programs.
Up through the 1930's, what today is known as Cooperative
Federalism, sometimes simply Federalism, was known as
Corporatism. One of the contributing schools of thought behind
the scheme was labeled Fabian Communism, which was greatly
influential in the Franklin Roosevelt New Deal takeover that set
about reorganizing State and Federal government in such a fashion
as to effectively over-throw State sovereignty, and more
importantly, sovereignty of the American people. Rather than
functioning as 50 semi-independent republics subject only to
Congress' constitutionally delegated authority, the several
States accepted a Federal "umbrella" which has the effect of
making the nation more as a seamless garment. The whole business
was choreographed years in advance -- prior to being inaugurated,
Roosevelt met with governors of the several States and secured
cooperation pledges. Special sessions of State legislatures in
summer 1933 (Oklahoma, from late May well into July 1933) laid
important planks for Federal takeover. Then in 1935,
representatives of Federal, State, county and municipal
governments convened in Denver, signing the compact of
intergovernmental dependency.
You will find an abstract view of this history through The
Book of the States, which appears to have published first in
1935. It is published in even years by The Council of State
Governments, headquartered in Lexington, Kentucky -- my wife
bought the 1990-91 edition for a quarter at the annual Ponca City
Library old book sale a year or so ago. If memory serves, the
OSU library probably has the whole set, as most federal
depository libraries will have.
The motive, of course, is money. Or more important than
money, as such, consolidation of resources and political power.
You deal with the ensuing problems every day. Since
approximately 1973, consolidation of assets has undermined middle
and upper middle income classes, taking us from 55% in those
classes at about the time of the first Arab Oil Embargo, to about
40% today, while low income and poor classes went from 35% in the
early seventies to over 50% by 1990. Under 14% of the population
is postured to prosper in this environment, but the real windfall
goes to a small group of under 1% of the population -- the
wealthiest 1% had about 22% of total national assets in 1972,
approximately 38% in 1990. In the decade of the eighties,
America's population of hyper-poor, living at half or less of the
official Federal poverty level, more than doubled.
Dan Meador's Letter to County District Attorney:

I'm not dreaming those figures up. They come from
authorities such as the Census Bureau, the Southwestern Bell
econometrics model, A. Gary Shilling, ranked the top economic
forecaster through the 1970's and 1980's, etc. And as the Grace
Commission report forecast (Aug. 1980), there is no end in sight
for compounding private and government debt; the mathematically
impossible Cooperative Federalism scheme must, absolutely must,
collapse in what is certain to be an epochal great depression.
Since 1982, Government has been the only consistent growth
industry in Oklahoma and other interior, predominantly natural
resource states -- rural poverty is an atrocity, and the urban
ghetto, in all metropolitan centers, spreads like cancer.
In the meantime, the mathematically impossible Cooperative
Federalism formula, premised on ever-increasing, interest-bearing
debt, has undermined national as well as state sovereignty and
solvency. Oklahoma now ranks about 47th on the per-capita income
list, and I don't have to look at current crime statistics,
illegitimate pregnancies, the school dropout rate, et al., to
know they're rampant. You see the effects and know the figures
better than I do, so I'm probably not telling you anything you
don't already know.
As European Communism and Socialism, Cooperative Federalism
is somewhat like a star headed for nova -- as it reaches critical
mass, which will probably be brought about by some glitch such as
another derivatives whip-lash or a couple of the Latin American
nations finally repudiating sovereign debt, the magnitude of the
meltdown should dwarf the Crash of 1929 -- the stage is set for
anarchy or absolute tyranny.
I don't care for the prospect of either. There must be a
way to restore constitutional government, and correct the insane
economic scheme, peacefully. We have the same motive American
Founders did in 1787 -- they convened the Constitutional
Convention because of pending economic disaster. But the effort
will require cooperation from people who presently serve in
public office coupled with private sector initiative. You cannot
do it alone; we cannot do it alone without open rebellion. There
must be leadership both inside and outside of government if the
objective of restoring constitutional rule is to be achieved.
The Internal Revenue Service, loved by nearly everyone, is
the Cooperative Federalism Achilles heel.
IRS is an agency of the Department of the Treasury, Puerto
Rico, not the United States Department of the Treasury -- read
the section in the enclosed brief then look at 31 U.S.C. §§ 301-
310 to see that IRS and BATF are not agencies of the United
States Department of the Treasury. Verify that the Internal
Revenue Code vests authority in the Treasury Department, not the
Department of the Treasury (26 U.S.C. §§ 7701(a)(12)(A) &
7805(a)). IRS operates on contract to provide systems
development and maintenance and record-keeping services for
United States Government, either through the Treasury Department,
the United States Department of the Treasury, or the Federal
Dan Meador's Letter to County District Attorney:

Reserve as fiscal agent for the United States. That's one of the
matters to be resolved via the enclosed application for subpoena
duces tecum. I presently have a Freedom of Information Act
request in to secure a copy of the master contract, or contracts,
but am presently being stonewalled. Catching people at the
Oklahoma Tax Commission flat-footed to secure a copy of the OTC-
Commissioner of Internal Revenue Service agreement amounted to a
surprise coup de grace.
Contracts with State tax commissions are more important than
whatever contract IRS has with the Treasury Department. Where
subtitle F of the Internal Revenue Code (administrative and
judicial) is not effective until Title 26 of the United States
Code is enacted as positive law (see 26 U.S.C. §§7851(a)(6)(A) &
7806(b)), the several States have adopted Subtitle F of the
Internal Revenue Code by contract -- see 26 CFR, Part 31.6361-1
and related regulations. It's a hoax -- the United States may
exercise only powers delegated by the Constitution, and officers
of the several States cannot accommodate a Federal power without
first securing a Constitutional amendment (Tenth Amendment, New
York v. United States, et al. (1992)).
The lengthy brief outlining particulars is basically a re-
statement of law and regulations at issue. If you care to have a
copy, I have a 100-page brief that is somewhat more readable and
provides a better historical accounting. The way the current tax
system evolved is more bizarre than stories science fiction
writers dream up.
After the Spanish-American War, we set up provisional
governments in the Philippines, Puerto Rico, etc., principally
under Navy supervision. When the China Trade Act was enacted,
governing trade in opium, cocaine, and citric wines,
administration and enforcement of the Act were put is charge of
provisional governments in the Philippines and Puerto Rico. Each
established a Bureau of Internal Revenue -- the Secretary of the
Treasury still administers the three trusts, Philippines Trust
#1, Philippines Trust #2 (internal revenue) & Puerto Rico Trust
#62 (Internal Revenue). You can find them listed with other
trusts at 31 U.S.C. § 1321. In 1938, the China Trade Act was
repealed, but the two BIR entities continued administering other
treaty provisions relating to narcotics, distilled spirits, etc.
In 1946, the Philippines became an independent commonwealth,
leaving Puerto Rico as the surviving off-shore United States
possession with a known Bureau of Internal Revenue.
The second line was through prohibition, effected under the
Eighteenth Amendment (1919). The Amendment gave State and
Federal authorities concurrent jurisdiction for enforcement of
State and Federal liquor laws. However, the Twenty-first
Amendment (Dec. 1933) (1) permitted each State to determine its
own liquor laws, and (2) terminated Federal jurisdiction so far
as the several States are concerned. The United States v.
Constantine decision (Dec. 1935) ended Federal administration and
enforcement authority in the several States party to the
Constitution.
Dan Meador's Letter to County District Attorney:
Page 4 of 7
The Constantine decision was issued against 1926
legislation. In summer 1935, Congress enacted the Federal
Alcohol Administration Act, and replaced the previous Federal
enforcement agency with the Federal Alcohol Administration.
However, because of the Constantine decision, the Federal Alcohol
Administration never got off the ground, then via Reorganization
Plan #III of 1940, functions of the Federal Alcohol
Administration Act were placed under the Bureau of Internal
Revenue, and the Federal Alcohol Administration was abolished.
Now the third line: Approximately simultaneous with alleged
ratification of the Sixteenth Amendment (1913), Congress
implemented the corporate income tax, drafted in 1909. However,
about half a dozen adverse decisions from 1915 through 1920 did
the tax serious injury, so via the Internal Revenue Act of Nov.
23, 1921, the original corporate income tax and most other
legitimate excise taxes were repealed. What survived was the
"normal tax", which issued against pay of officers and employees
of the United States, including the President, Congress, Federal
judges, et al. Judges kicked up about that, too, so the problem
was finally solved in the 1930's by making appointments
contingent to candidates signing contracts agreeing to pay income
and other Federal taxes. When excise taxes and other taxes that
would have been legitimate under Congress' Article I delegated
authority were put back in place, they were under Congress'
Article IV § 3.2 authority in the geographical United States, not
under Article I delegated authority. Under Article IV § 3.2,
Congress has the combined power of State and Federal government
in United States territories and insular possessions.
The Federal salary tax might have been implemented in 1918
-- I don't know precisely when it crept in. At any rate, it
became known as the "income tax" by the time of the Public Salary
Tax Act of 1939, which was codified in the Internal Revenue Code
of 1939. The Internal Revenue Code of 1939 was revised via
Reorganization Plan #26 of 1950 and Reorganization Plan #1 of
1952, implemented as the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 (Vol. 68A,
Statutes at Large), as amended in 1986 and since.
The most significant "reorganization" was to remove
administration of Subtitle A & C taxing authority from Treasury
Department revenue officers appointed in each Congressional
district to alleged administration by IRS. The name Bureau of
Internal Revenue was changed to Internal Revenue Service via
T.D.O. § 150-29 (1953). The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and
Firearms was split from IRS via T.D.O. § 221 (1972).
If you will look at 27 CFR, Part 1, you will find that BATF
still administers the Federal Alcohol Administration Act, moved
off-shore to Puerto Rico via Reorganization Plan #III of 1940,
and if you will consult definitions at 27 CFR, Part 250.11, you
will see the solid link between IRS, BATF, and the Department of
the Treasury, Puerto Rico.
Dan Meador's Letter to County District Attorney:

Another interesting quirk: The original Commissioner of
Internal Revenue was created by the Revenue Act of 1862. Abraham
Lincoln and his group seem to have invented the "Federal kickback
tax" - 3% of government-derived income (wages) over $600 per
year. However, the unpopular tax was abandoned shortly after the
Civil War, and the office of the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, created in the United States Treasury Department, was
effectively abolished via the Revised Statutes of 1873. If you
will consult 26 U.S.C. § 7802, you will find that the present
"Commissioner of Internal Revenue" is in the Department of the
Treasury, not the Treasury Department, and that the office is not
in the United States Department of the Treasury (31 U.S.C. §§
301-310).
Consult 26 U.S.C. § 3401(c ) to confirm that the "employee"
is an officer or employee of the United States and its political
subdivisions, and officers of Government-controlled corporations,
and § 3401(d) to confirm that the definition of "employer" is
simply the employer of the employee previously defined. It's
still the "normal tax" of 1921. Income and Social Security taxes
have never applied to the general population. In fact, no taxing
statute in the Internal Revenue Code reaches the Union of several
States and the population at large. Congress moved almost
totally under Article IV § 3.2 legislative jurisdiction in the
geographical United States, which includes the District of
Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa,
etc. -- see definitions at 26 CFR, Part 31.3121(e)-1.
Interesting, isn't it? Far and away the best shell game in
town. But it isn't a game. It's treason against the
Constitution of the United States, the Constitution and
sovereignty of the State of Oklahoma, and the sovereign people of
this nation -- against my children and grandchildren and yours as
well. Tyranny has no friends. You cannot scale the ladder high
enough to assure your heirs safe harbor.
These are quite literally times that try men's souls, but in
the constitutional republic, if we had such a thing, tyranny
never stands on one leg - there must be a perpetrator by intent,
and a perpetrator by consent. We can deal with those who are
blatantly and manifestly evil, it's benign evil that destroys
nations and empires. Read Paul Tillach, Martin Buber and other
post-war commentaries by German Protestant theologians; read
transcripts of the Nuremberg Trials. Hitler and his Nazi hoards
first subdued and destroyed the German people because supposedly
good, moral people failed to answer the call. The end of it,
because they yielded, was possibly the bloodiest war in history.
One of the definitions of insanity is doing the same thing
the same way time and again expecting a different result. If we
capitulate to tyranny, permitting ourselves to be joined to it,
we are destined for history repeat itself -- Oswald Spengler, in
Decline of the West (1936), warned that 19 of 21 known historic
empires were destroyed from within due to moral decay. Sixty
years after Spengler's warning, tribulation stands at the door.
I realize you can't jump into this mess by yourself. Your
professional corpse would be buried somewhere on a forgotten hill
in an unmarked grave. So there must be a plan of action --
cooperation to accomplish a common end. I'm prepared to provide
support you need.
Dan Meador's Letter to County District Attorney:

If you will secure documentation I seek via the application
for subpoenas duces tecum, I will take it to public hearings in
political forum under authority of Article II §§ 1 & 3 of the
Oklahoma Constitution, and the First Amendment of the
Constitution of the United States. We will seat a representative
panel by congressional district to consider evidence and issue
mandates to public servants.
Lest you think we will fall down on our end, consider
current public temperament: Every legitimate survey since 1990
has reflected a 60% discontent level -- people distrust
politicians and political institutions down to and including
local school boards. By fall 1995, the discontent level was at
73%, and by May 1996, at 80%. In November, only 49% of the
registered voters bothered voting, and the sad part of that, only
35-40% of those eligible are even registered to vote. Few if any
politicians elected in November represent as much as 15% of the
eligible voters in their respective districts. In fact, just a
month or so ago, a radio announcer said politicians have a reason
to cheer -- confidence increased 7% in the first months of 1997.
The bad news -- it's up to 22% from a low of 15%.
Forgive duplication of the historical account between this
letter and that to Commissioner Anderson. I constructed this
letter last week, intending to get it in the mail before now,
then received information from the Office of Management and
Budget relating to OMB numbers for IRS forms and regulations,
then on Thursday figured out that the contract between OTC and
IRS had to exist -- Friday we secured a copy of the agreement and
it has taken most of the weekend to reconstruct the tax fraud
scheme with this new piece of evidence as a centerpiece.
Thank you in advance for your assistance with this matter.
Regards,
