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.

With great contempt,
Robert W. Pickett
