Gunman's letter to Enquirer describes his despair
http://enquirer.com/editions/2001/02/08/loc_gunmens_letter.html
Text of a letter written by Robert W. Pickett of Evansville, Ind. It was
postmarked Feb. 2 and addressed to the commissioner of the Internal Revenue
Service. It said copies were sent to President Bush, and the U.S. attorney
general. A copy also was sent to The Cincinnati Enquirer.
February 2, 2001
Commissioner
Internal Revenue Service
Dear Sir:
You are guilty of murder. Your predecessors made decisions which
killed an innocent man. Your office allowed IRS officials to deliberately
make false statements to a federal court. You have full knowledge that the
intention of these improper actions was to discredit the statements made by
a whistleblower, a former IRS auditor who suffered from a severe mental
illness. Your office was aware that IRS officials were concealing evidence
that a manager had violated the civil rights of taxpayers and employees.
Last week, the Federal District Court in Cincinnati rejected my lawsuit
filed as a whistleblower against the IRS.
My death is on your hands. Although you were not in charge when
this conspiracy began in 1985, your office has been informed of the
situation many times. I have been a victim of a corrupt government. I tried
to protect the citizens from what I thought was an abnormality, an
incompetent manager. The supervisors who were responsible for that
manager's actions did not want their negligence to be revealed, so they
attacked me. Every lie was protected by a higher authority.
These actions fit the legal description of manslaughter; however, due to the abhorrent nature of the transgressions, it must be considered murder. My right to due process of the law has been blocked by illegal obstructions; including an Assistant U.S. Attorney deliberately submitting false statements to a federal court.
This is not a democracy, it is a dictatorship. It is run by the
corrupt civil service, which has placed itself above the law. Every office
which was supposed to investigate these improper actions failed to do its
duty. I am not making unsubstantiated allegations. I have documented
evidence for all of my accusations. The Internal Revenue Service, the
Treasury Department, the Equal Opportunity Commission, the Merit Systems
Protection Board, the Office of Special Counsel and the Department of
Justice all committed improper actions to deliberately deprive me of my
right to due process of law.
My plea for help was ignored by the Senate Finance Committee and
many others. No elected official has ever made a valid effort to assist me
in fighting the corrupt civil service. I have been unable to obtain
assistance from attorneys, doctors, even the ACLU. It has become acceptable
for the government to violate the rights of taxpayers and destroy the life
of the mentally ill employee who tried to expose it. I was naive to believe
that somewhere in this country, there was someone who would do his duty.
There is obviously no honor for those who claim to serve their country. It
is a job with power and they are allowed to abuse this power with complete
impunity. I was stupid to believe that the truth is a shield which can
protect the innocent from those who mistreat the weak. The freedom our
soldiers fought for have disappeared. Our politicians and government
officials do not care about the people, they only venerate their own power.
I have learned there is no justice, only blinding power.
It is a shame this country pays tribute to the soldiers who have
fought for our freedom when this liberty is being denied to the citizens by
the very people entrusted with administering the rights the soldiers died
to protect. It is pathetic that while the American people show respect to
monuments celebrating the ideals which shaped our history, their government
violates those principles. This lack of honesty is not limited to federal
officials. I have also witnessed state judges ignore the law and make false
statements. The value of our forefathers and their defenders deserve a
living legacy of integrity. Although the crimes committed against me by
these bureaucrats were not violent, they are more heinous than police
brutality. These immoral decisions by civil servants were deliberate,
cold-blooded actions to destroy the lives of innocent people, disregarding
the ethics of society. Their failings reflect a dismal future for this
country. They have betrayed their fellow citizens; their illegal actions
are treason.
My life has been destroyed because I believed the truth would
prevail. I wish I had the strength to continue to fight this evil with
honor. The hypocrites who refused to perform their duty will eventually
have to answer to their own conscience, if they have any. To protect
themselves, these bureaucrats deliberately took improper actions which
aggravated my mental illness. This torture caused me great mental anguish,
including two suicide attempts and several hospitalizations. I have failed
to receive adequate treatment for many mental health professionals and no
support from mental health organizations.
I cannot describe the emotional pain I live with constantly.
Narrow-minded people have refused to accept that I have a mental illness on
the basis I do not display the pre-conceived symptoms and I have rational
intelligence. With proper assistance and support, I could have overcome my
handicap. However, the constant betrayals by those obligated to uphold the
law and people who professed their regard have destroyed me. I have failed
to accomplish a goal with the truth as my standard. I have no faith in
myself or anyone else. I would rather not continue with life since I will
only be subjected to further persecution.
