My name is Greg Galaski and I started to develop this strategy in 1983. This
is my story.
In November of 1993, I was indicted along with 7 other defendants in one of
the largest tax case in the nation's history also known as "The Pilot
Connection" case.
After 3 indictments and 2 trials I was one of the 2 defendants that were
acquitted by the jury.
During the course of my second trial, I successfully entered into evidence
through the witness from the IRS, and YES by my skilled attorney, letters and
requests for information with responses MADE UNDER THE FEDERAL FREEDOM OF
INFORMATION (FOIA) AND PRIVACY ACTS (PA).
Interestingly, before the open of the second trial, the government provided
us with written notice that the very same records maintained by the IRS had been
destroyed. It is a mystery that copies of the records entered into evidence
disappeared the next day. This presented no problem for I had made at least
three additional copies of the evidence package. (Important Note:
Maintain copies of your requests for information along with the agency's
response in an orderly and sequential fashion)
This was just the beginning. During the first indictment, I initiated a 5th
Amendment presentment in the form of a lawsuit to make an appearance before the
federal grand jury. You could say that I brought a lawsuit against the grand
jury. The purpose of my lawsuit was to present the same evidence and to present
my research including a plethora of IRS manuals, procedures and publications to
show there are certain rights, privileges and immunities involving the tax laws
that were being violated by the Internal Revenue Service.
Fortunately, the judge understood the relief sought by my complaint, and
issued declaratory judgment finding my complaint to be a proper grand jury
reporting. This was AFTER I had properly amended my complaint and AFTER the
government refused to show some reasonableness involving its conduct.
I could have pursued my presentment, but I was in the middle of fighting for
my liberty, family and future, and had to take care of business by standing
trial involving the indictment.
During the Trial my attorney presented my book, now titled, "Boston Tea
Party" into evidence. My book explained the use and processes for FOIA and
PA.
In the second trial, the IRS brought in their tax case, which was not part of
the original indictment, in which the prosecution presented a case alleging that
I had an outstanding tax debt based on some deficiency notices. I countered with
my evidence, and on cross-examination my prepared attorney asked the IRS witness
where on their Individual Master File Transcript did it show anywhere that the
IRS issued deficiency notices. For some of you out there this is Transaction
Code 494 -- notice of deficiency issued.
The witness responded that no such transaction code exists supporting the
government's claim!
The jury found me "not-guilty" of the 17 felonies of which I was
charged. This was due to my skilled attorney, with my research, and the
application of my research through the Freedom of Information and Privacy Acts.
I spent hours at my attorney's office reviewing the government's evidence, and
putting everything in writing about all of my knowledge concerning both federal
and State tax laws.
It was my position then, as it is today, that everyone should look into the
tax laws and enforce them instead of running away on some grandiose and
unfounded principle.
Now it is your turn to begin to learn the processes of evidencing your case,
and to continue in the knowledge that you obtain by just picking up the books
and talking to your friendly law librarian. I implore you, no.... I challenge
you, for example, to look at the old Treasury decisions, like Treasury Decision
2313, and ask yourself how that applies today. If you have come this far, its
time for you to ask yourself, how far will you open your mind to an alternative
way of thinking aside from the conjecture and the baseless conclusions drawn by
others that you have listened to or followed?
This Treasury Decision specifically applies to the infamous case of Brushaber
v. Union Pacific Railway Co. cited by the IRS in its form letters.
This nation was built upon the notion of self-reliance, self-determination
including the Right to pursue life, liberty, and happiness, and in consideration
of the same notion you are responsible for your own learning, and your own
education.
As a matter of legislative history, the roots of administrative procedure
sprang from the Elihu Root as an experiment. Professor Kenneth Culp Davis on
Administrative Law, 1965 Edition states, on page 7: "In 1916 Elihu Root, in
an address as President of the American Bar Association, made a statement that
could hardly be improved upon with the hindsight of half a century later: 'There
is one special field of law development which has manifestly become inevitable.
We are entering upon the creation of a body of administrative law quite
different in its machinery, its remedies, and its necessary safeguards from the
old methods of regulation by specific statues enforce by the courts.
* * * The necessities of our situation have already led to an extensive
employment of that method.
* * * Before these agencies the old doctrine prohibiting the delegation of
legislative power has virtually retired from the field and give up the fight.
There will be no withdrawal from these experiments. We shall go on; we shall
expand them, whether we approve theoretically or not, because such agencies
(SHOULD) furnish protection of rights and obstacles to wrong doing which under
our new social and industrial conditions cannot be practically accomplished by
the old and simple procedure of legislatures and courts as in the last
generation." (Emphasis added) [Vol. 41 A.B.A.R. 355, 368-369 (1916)]
It is incumbent upon YOU to make sure that the administrative body such as
the Internal Revenue Service has furnished protection of rights and has removed
obstacles of wrong doing within the agency.
In today's world, knowledge is power, how YOU can harness and give respect to
that knowledge will require persistence, a tempered attitude and dedication are

that you can utilize. See 'Evidencing the Official Record'

Late in 1998, through a mutual acquaintance, I met John Hecht who explained
to me his conflict created by the Internal Revenue Service, and showed me the
record that he had accumulated from the IRS. They not only mailed the notice of
deficiency presumably deliberately to the wrong address, a common practice, but
failed to answer his legal questions concerning their determination and
assessment of tax.
John had all the evidence, submitted the proof of this wrong doing by the IRS
to his Congressman and Senators but to no avail. They never informed him of his
administrative remedy for IRS abuse. The solution was to identify the remedy
based on his accumulated evidence, and it was suggested that John authorize a
Senate Task Force Investigation (STFI) asking that the IRS justify its taxable
source of income claims or abate the entire amounts of taxes involving at least
3 years.
Four days after the STFI received John's authorization to conduct an
investigation, the IRS Problem Resolution Officer previously assigned to John's
case by his senator, sent a letter to John a few days before Christmas. The
letter stated that the IRS was fully abating all the assessments of tax,
penalties, and interest. In short, they could not absolutely demonstrate that
John had a tax return filing requirement for the years in question due to the
fact that their records did not reveal any taxable sources of income under his
assigned social security number. (Click here
for this letter)
Sure enough, the IRS abated all taxes, penalties and interest given the fact
that John could evidence THEIR official record and established a remedy ALL
WITHOUT RESORTING TO CONJECTURE, THEORY, OR BY TAKING SOME SORT OF ARGUMENTATIVE
POSITION! Yes, it's that simple if you just know how to take the evidence, and
present it in a clear, no-nonsense manner.
This is an example of evidencing the record at the administrative level.
In conclusion, Congratulations on your journey for knowledge, seeking TRUTH
and reasoned logic to once again reform this nation in the vision once conceived
in its beginnings. -- Greg Galaski
