A cesspool of Judicial Corruption

PREFACE by roland hinkson

David Roland Hinkson, my son, is currently incarcerated in the most sever penitentiary in the United States of America. I am very ashamed–not of my son, David–but of the Federal Government ruling our Country. Let me explain.

All my life I had been proud of my Country and yet remain proud of my heritage. Silently, throughout the years, a cloud drifted over my awareness causing me to feel secure because I believed that our leaders where fighting to preserve the freedoms our forefathers provided. I questioned nothing. It was my America against the international criminals (the Axis powers etc.). I've always loved and defended this, My Country.

Since I'm now in my 80s, I have had the opportunity to observe nearly a century of history. I grew up during the Depression that began at my birth. I remember listening on our Radio to Adolph Hitler's thunderous ranting. I remember vividly the announcement of the Nazi two week invasion of Poland. I thrilled at the words of Winston Churchill when he paid homage to the few courageous, young pilots defending England. I listened on December 7, 1941, to our popular president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt broadcast that the Government of Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and we are now at war. And I never believed, even for a moment, I would live to see America become a totalitarian state.

People my age share memories of the glory and pride of living in the greatest country in the world, if not in the history of mankind. I now grieve for the young and wonder if they will ever know what we have lost.

What I now understand is that we have slept through the transition and allowed "red termites," fascists and New World Order Progressives to eradicate all those ideals that we have clung to and cherished. God, only, knows what price we will pay.

It's likely that at least a single copy of this Book will survive and someone will read it in the future–but clandestinely. And that someone may secretly ask, "If only my parents or grandparents had possessed the courage of our Founding Fathers."

It is my blessing to be able to pay tribute to a rare man, who has been unwavering in support of David, Ted Mendalski. Ted is a man in his mid-80s to whom we have heartfelt gratitude. Many other people who love and care about David have also given us and David hope and comfort. We ask the Lords blessing upon them.

Of course, we acknowledge the tremendous contribution of Wes and Sandy Hoyt for their courageous stand for truth and justice. Wes is a rare breed for an attorney. His intrepid audacity is truly amazing.

I am fully aware that the people who I've pinpointed for dishonor will want to justify their behavior and sue me. So be it. I've tried to be accurate and fair and to label my opinions when they apply as opinions. Prayerfully, I beseech God to grant you insight and wisdom, and if you comprehend the message in this book, may you join in with me and those who care enough to fight.

ONE the jury is coming in

It was cold outside on Thursday, the 27th day of January 2005. Home Land Security guards dressed in black full-body- armor clutching automatic weapons surrounded the Federal Court Building in Boise, Idaho–security was tight. Wesley W. Hoyt, David Hinkson's attorney, got a phone call from the Court.

"The Jury is coming in."

Faye (David’s mother) and I along with Wes arrived at the Building, moved quickly down the shiny corridors into the modern, brightly-lit Court Room on the 6th floor; we took our seats. Moments later guards, followed by Federal agents, opened the door leading into the spectators' gallery. They shuffled in the notorious David Roland Hinkson–chained like an animal. Tension filled the air.

An aisle divided the seating in the spectators' gallery of the court room. Four people for the defense (David's mother, father, wife and brother) sat on the left half of the gallery. Thirty-four, most of which apparently had worked to get David convicted, sat on the right. All were anxiously awaiting the return of the jury for their verdict.

By 3 p.m., the jury had only a partial verdict (They said they were hopelessly deadlocked on three of the eleven counts charged). But by 5 p.m., the final Verdict was in. The jurors acquitted (meaning the charges dropped) on eight counts.

David arose uttering a sigh of relief as the thirty-four spectators stared silently and blankly at the jury. However, the final statement from the Jury Forman changed the whole atmosphere. On three counts, he said,

"We find the Defendant guilty as charged for the solicitation of murder of three Federal officials. . . ."

A festive fervor erupted from the Thirty-Four, and words were overheard as one of the elated Clan snickered,

"Tonight we celebrate!"

The government agents and their enlisted friends finally achieved their goal. "Justice, law and order must prevail–if the American ideal is to be upheld." That was their noble message. Of course, they were proclaiming that everyone is entitled to a fair trial and considered innocent unless convicted by his/her peers in a court of law. And of course, government agents seek only the truth; they would never bend the rules to get a conviction, would they? So isn't it nonsense to assume that an accused may, in fact, be innocent if charged by an honorable government agent? Mustn't we accept the new doctrine of "presumption of regularity and correctness" of government officials instead of the silly notion that a man is innocent unless proven guilty in a fair trial–Where there's smoke there must be fire?"

For the past several years, David's life was on "fire." David had become a notorious villain, as he described in his own words what had happened to him; he wrote:

On the morning of the 21st of November, 2002, I was startled out of a sound sleep by screams. I looked over at the door, and I saw approximately eight men storming into my [bed]room dressed in black and holding machine guns. I heard over and over,"Freeze, mother f***er."

I heard someone say, as I was being held down, ‘Where’s your gun?’ All of the machineguns were pointed at me. I was still partially asleep when the only agent not in SWAT or military dress dragged me out of bed [at 5:45 a.m.] . . . That man was IRS Criminal Investigation Division (CID) Agent Steven Hines. . . .

Hines, in an effort to cover-up for the fact that he should not have been in that raiding party, testified [under oath, of course] (on September 26, 2003), that it was his friend, FBI Agent William Long who had held the gun to my head on that November morning.
Both agents were swarthy and of diminutive stature. Agent Long was also there, but he dressed in SWAT Team gear with his face covered, so there was plausible deniability. David had done nothing conceivable to merit this Gestapo type assault!

However, FBI agent Will Long later verbally threatened David saying, "I’ll put you away for the rest of your life."

Why? We don’t know absolutely. We can only speculate. David had previously sued Hines and several other agents of the IRS and agents of the Justice Department for their violations of Due Process (accusing him of killing people who are not dead). So it was a form of payback by another agency. And agent Long was in contact with Ted Gunderson, the former head of the Los Angles Division of the FBI, who we allege was trying to steal David’s business and needed a little help from local law enforcement.

To shed a little light on how some–not all–government agents operate, John Pugsley, president of The Sovereign Society, pointed out that, "History proves that governments inevitably grows corrupt, and that corruption leads to an increasing use of police and military force, both against foreign ‘enemies’ and against its own citizens."

It’s clear from the circumstances of this case: that when government agents conspire to target someone, such as David, they broker special favors for individuals who agree to act as cooperating witnesses or confidential informant. They entice them to provide false information or to act as witnesses.

By cooperating with officials, criminals often get their charges reduced or dropped or are allowed to keep something they have stolen from the targeted-individual without ever being prosecuted for their own crime of theft. All they have to do is bear false witness against a "target," or there may be other financial inducements.

David had pulled the chain of many agents up the line of command in the IRS because he was willing to confront them on their illegal activity. A conspiracy to take David down was in the making. For all participants, there was a prize to gain. When certain ex-employees initiated their greedy attempts to steal David's assets or business, they found a way to bring down David.

David had an unusual ability for a lay person to comprehend and research law. Although, he had no formal legal training while living in Nevada in the early 1990s, he had successfully assisted, without charge, a number of acquaintances to defend against government confiscation of their real estate.

He had a license as an insurance broker and real estate broker. His talents included being a Navy helicopter mechanic, but he had expertise in many other trades and ventures.

He did confound government agents with his insights, bold onslaughts and willingness to attack their corruption whenever he recognized it. David's grasp of IRS fraud by the privately owned Federal Reserve, with its scam to bilk money out of Americans, drove him to oppose and expose them. However, his actions merely empowered those who were determined to scalp him.

Assistant United States Attorney (AUSA) Nancy Cook of North Idaho offered to drop the charges they had filed, if Dave would plea-bargain and pay a $5,000 fine. I regret that David took my advice in refusing to go against his principles in this case. I told him that personally I'd never submit to intimidation. It turned out that his loss is unfathomable–millions of dollars and a personal hell.

I wrote a story for the Americans’ Bulletin publication at the time. I said:

David refused to cooperate and these federal villains, so they came up with a new tactic: accuse David of Murder-for-Hire, a favorite charge. That would certainly infuriate the public: so release to the media accusations that David wanted to kill agents of the federal government. Thus, they knew they would likely compromise the jury-pool.

Maybe the worst scandal in FBI’s history was the Joseph Salvati case. Salvati spent three decades in prison for a crime he didn’t commit (as reported by www.aim.org). The Justice Department and Judge put him there using uncorroborated, false testimony from an informant under the protection of the Federal Bureau of Investigation [FBI]. There is compelling evidence that the Bureau knew Salvati was an innocent man and then conspired to keep him in prison. Yet, after his release from 30 years in prison the FBI agent responsible said, ‘What do you want, tears or something?'

Judge Hinkle who released Salvati, said, “The conduct of certain individuals in the bureau… stains the legacy of the FBI.” In David’s case, the legacy is not merely stained it is self destructing.

What I now see is an agency where lies, fabrications and falsehoods are Ok, or wrongful acts are swept under the rug. Of course, many honorable FBI agents outweigh the mavericks that advance their personal agendas with total disregard for the lives of ordinary Americans.

"'Dave" I said, 'No jury will be so stupid as to believe this murder-for-hire nonsense that they’re now accusing you of. Nancy Cook [who was trying so hard to ensnare David] must be a first year law student.'

"But as I watched the fraud unfold, the perjuring agents, the dishonorable judges, the cowardly media and gullible, manipulated public all share in a despicable railroading of an innocent man, I was finally awakened."

Now that David lost his rights as an American citizen and the new laws presume he is guilty unless he can prove he is innocent, what will happen to him?
