To the IRS Commissioner's Staff,
Leonard Cohen's Declaration in the UCC/CAK litigation matter (prepared by a very ethical and intelligent attorney referred to Cohen by the Grubman firm) is factual. I reviewed this document personally with Leonard Cohen. He is clear that his royalty income is substantial (and I believe another document he signed in this matter acnkowledges the actual amounts he received on a year basis), understands - as of 2000 - that I am his personal manager, and is very clear about these deals that he makes the decisions about. I think that this is a highly relevant document that proves Leonard Cohen is a liar who will perjure himself whenever he sees fit. By the way, Greg McBowman did meet with Cohen and myself and advised Cohen not to sell these assets. Cohen was adamant. McBowman believes Cohen sued me to force me into a deal. That does not explain the fact that I was not served the summons & complaint, the proof of service is evidence of extrinsic fraud, and I was not served or notified of the default in 2006. The judge does not have jurisdiction over me and the judgment is void. It is fascinating the problems LA Superior Court has with lack of service or fraudulent proofs of service - that involve Jane Does.
All the best,
Kelley

NOTE: A Bowie Bond deal was the type of deal Greg McBowman and I thought Cohen should do. And now what's Cohen doing? Lying about his personal transaction fees (that are his expenses paid by TH corporate assets); whining about Greenberg's commissions (he hired him; my husband and I referred him to my husband's family's investor, Bud Talbot, Dean Witter); and it just goes on and on with Leonard Cohen and his inconceivable lies, perjury, fraud, and concealment. No wonder he feels he has to slander me and use operatives. His tax fraud is deranged.
Excerpts from the Declaration of Leonard Cohen dated August 30, 2000
UCC Lending Corp/CAK Universal Credit Corp. v. Leonard Cohen
United States District Court
Southern District of New York
00 Civ. 1068 (DAB)
I receive what I view to be substantial royalties, on a regular basis, from sales of my albums and uses of my compositions.
On
June 24, 1999, my transactional counsel advised plaintiffs in writing,
as follows: As we discussed earlier today, due to the significant
changes concerning the possible loan amount, our client Leonard Cohen
and his manager Kelley Lynch have decided to terminate the previous
engagement letter with CAK … and to pursue another opportunity.
My
representatives subsequently discussed with Sony Music the possibility
of Sony’s acquisition of the Rights … plaintiffs offered to advance $5.8
million as part of a proposed loan transaction.
It
is my understanding that in November of 1999, my representatives
informed plaintiffs that I was seriously considering selling the Rights
to Sony, if acceptable financial and related terms could be reached. In
response, on or about November 8, 1999, plaintiffs wrote to my personal manager
and advised her that “In light of the recent events regarding Sony and
their potential offer to purchase Leonard Cohen’s assets, we offer an
alternative to the proposed Loan structure.”
I ultimately decided not to proceed with the loan and my representatives so advised plaintiffs.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
Dated: August 30, 2000
Signed: Leonard Cohen--
In
order to convict under Section 7201 of the Code, the basic elements
that must be proven are (1) the existence of a tax deficiency, (2) an
affirmative act constituting an evasion or attempted evasion of the tax,
and (3) willfulness.
Kelley Lynch's Comments Re. Leonard Cohen, the IRS, Etc. At Her Stalinesque Show Trial Sentencing
The Court: Anything further? Would your client like to make a statement?
Kelley Lynch: I do want to make a statement.
The Court: Well, you have a right to.
Kelley Lynch: I want to make a short statement.
It is my impression that what I actually did here was - I actually went to the Internal Revenue Service. I've had agents from the Treasury fly in from Washington. They are criminal intelligence. The FBI's involved and the FBI told me to let the IRS take the lead. They will be brought in with respect to criminal witness and evidence tampering - with respect to Leonard Cohen. That is factual, those conversations are recorded.
And so I do believe that I have engaged in excessive, unauthorized rambling, and that my behavior has been excessive. But what I have experienced, regardless of Ms. Streeter's vicious, I think, attack on me, and what my children have gone through, has been extreme.
I've provided evidence to the IRS that I have been defrauded by Leonard Cohen, Steven Machat - who is about to sue him for theft for the same reason.
And I feel that I can stay away from Leonard Cohen [and that's putting it mildly, I might note]. I'm willing to go to Anger Management [and was clear with my lawyers and the bailiff - the FBI should arrest many people, including those involved in this trial - over this unconscionable situation]. I'm willing to take anything the judge suggests [one of my public defenders advised me to look into suing the County of Los Angelea over the actions of the judge and prosecutor and felt the prosecutor attempted to sabotage the IRS, discredit me for Leonard Cohen, and was helping the DA who didn't want the Spector verdict overturned] ,and my -- I did have my wages garnished also, Your Honor. It would have taken 25% of my income, and the State did tell me to go and get the information I needed for my tax returns.
Mr. Cohen is saying this forensic accounting ... His own accountant, Kevin Prins, told mine it is not. He didn't have the back-up documentation.
So I don't know what anyone else in my position would do, but I think that you're between a rock and a hard place when the IRS and FTB are demanding information. You have K-1s that are illegal. I'm not a partner on LC Investments and it's all confusing. I'm not represented.
One last thing I'd like to say to you, Your Honor, is that I called the State Bar and the American Bar Association many times, and was told that opposing counsel must talk to me, and that would have been Robert Kory and Michelle Rice, Scott Edelman ... no one would talk to me. So I've never been able to settle anything.
And then I was given legal advice that I could contact Mr. Cohen for tax information. [The judge is evidently unclear that the IRS requires employers to provide their employees with IRS form 1099 - the prosecutor LIED about this issue].
The judge then goes onto lie about me; my contempt for fraudulent judicial proceedings where the prosecutor, Leonard Cohen, and his lawyers are lying about me continuously; etc. I have no constitutional obligation to respect perjury, fraud, concealment, and lies. The judge obviously thinks he does. The judge didn't like my letters to Cutler? Well, I don't like a judge who has no jurisdiction over me speaking for me and lying about me or interpreting my words. I used "criminal enterprise" in the legal sense - ie. RICO. This judge has serious problems and people are mentioning LA Confidential and the celebrity justice program taking place in Los Angeles.

Yes, Cohen's MO is to evade taxes. I am aware of this. Steven Machat is aware of this. And, the IRS should be aware of this because of the evidence I've provided them. Leonard Cohen falsely accuses people of ripping him off to breach contracts. He is consumed by greed. He bankrupted me; destroyed my life; targeted my sons and elderly parents; and has a sense of entitlement that''s unreal. His testimony about Phillip was unconscionable - hanging out with the DA's investigator and lunching with him. It was nauseating.
Well, the targeting of my children and family members, etc. is deeply and gravely disturbing. Gianelli has motive and I view his targeting of me, and others, since 2009 when he heard from Cohen's lawyers (Blaine was posting on his blog then) as witness tampering, an attempt to obstruct justice, etc. And then, Gianelli and Blaine coordinated their efforts to target my blogs and email accounts.
Thanks for your support, Paulette. I appreciate it and am sorry that Gianelli continues to criminally harass you.

Hi Paulette,
Well,
the great news is that everyone who knows me believes me. They also
see right through Gianelli and he has been advised to cease and desist
by me and others.
Obviously,
Cohen is rich and has lawyers. He intentionally bankrupted me,
withheld commissions he owes me, and stole my share of intellectual
property. The IRS, Phil Spector, Steven Machat, my lawyer, and others,
have been given the evidence Cohen concealed from LA Superior Court. In
fact, I faxed quite a lot of that evidence to Iris Keitel at ABKCO
Records when she and Allen Klein were managing Phillip. I gave the IRS
and Phillip the passwords to my email accounts and permitted them to
review (and use) any and all emails between me, Cohen, his
representatives, and others. They are exceedingly revealing. And then
there's the LA justice system which favors celebrities. I cannot tell
you how many Deputy City Attorneys advised various judges that my case
was unique because it involved a celebrity. A celebrity, I might note,
who confessed to perjury on the witness stand.
Yes, Cohen's MO is to evade taxes. I am aware of this. Steven Machat is aware of this. And, the IRS should be aware of this because of the evidence I've provided them. Leonard Cohen falsely accuses people of ripping him off to breach contracts. He is consumed by greed. He bankrupted me; destroyed my life; targeted my sons and elderly parents; and has a sense of entitlement that''s unreal. His testimony about Phillip was unconscionable - hanging out with the DA's investigator and lunching with him. It was nauseating.
I have documentation of my
ownership interest in these entities and all the IP dating back to
1967. Cohen concealed all of this from the court and lied about
overpayments re. my fees as his personal manager. LA Superior Court
does not require evidence. That is quite clear. Cohen used his tax
problems, the news media, and LA Superior Court, to move offensively
against me (and others) and then stole from me at the same time.
Well, the targeting of my children and family members, etc. is deeply and gravely disturbing. Gianelli has motive and I view his targeting of me, and others, since 2009 when he heard from Cohen's lawyers (Blaine was posting on his blog then) as witness tampering, an attempt to obstruct justice, etc. And then, Gianelli and Blaine coordinated their efforts to target my blogs and email accounts.

To: Chuck Harter <REDACTED>
Phil Spector told everyone who knows him, and the police at the jail, that Clarkson shot herself. Blaine had motive to lie and there is a reason the prosecution didn't use her as a witness. My thoughts on Blaine's contradiction is her motive. It is deeply disturbing that her father, Hal Blaine, worked with Phil Spector for 27 years and never once saw him with a gun in the studio. I met with Phillip after the incident and he told me what happened. I know him well and can easily tell if he is embellishing a story. Lana Clarkson was in his foyer, with a gun, dancing around and singing his songs (Da Doo Run Run). For reasons no one will ever know (although the vicodin, other drugs, and 8 glasses of tequilla obviously affected her ability to think correctly and she was down and out, and suicidal - the DA advised the coroner not to do a forensic autopsy which is highly suspect) Clarkson then shot herself.
I will say this - Phil Spector, who was wearing a white dinner jacket, would have been covered in blood had he shot her in the mouth. It defies logic to think that a 6' 160 pound woman wouldn't have attempted to defend herself or struggled in what the prosecution would like us to view as an execution style murder. Phil Spector didn't have to shoot anyone to have sex. He was involved with Nancy Sinatra who was completely in love with him - although she too betrayed him. The prosecution's theory is laughable.
Let me know if you have any other questions. What happened to Phil Spector is an outrage. And, his hair didn't help.
All the best,
Kelley

To: Chuck Harter <REDACTED>
Hi Chuck,
Thank you for your refreshing email. I think one of the problems with Phil Spector's trials is the lack of critical reasoning, questioning obvious flaws, and the social media assault on Mr. Spector. Certain blogs - such as those of Michelle Blaine, Sprocket (who I was told by an investigator is the mouth piece for Lana Clarkson's mother), and others, were clearly coordinated to influence the news media, public opinion, and the jurors themselves. Paulette Brandt (Phil Spector's personal assistant for approximately 11 years and close personal friend of Mr. Spector's for years prior to that) is the individual Phil Spector informed about Clarkson's statement re. what she could do to his cock. There is evidence that Clarkson was a prostitute who played with guns and her Madam, Baby Doll Gibson, was prohibited from testifying and gagged during the trial. It is of great import, from my perspective, that the DA and other investigators never met with or spoke to Paulette Brandt who is the source of the quote.
Michelle Blaine is also a former assistant who worked for Mr.
Spector for a very short period of time and essentially appears to have
targeted him, stole $900,000 from him, was the individual the driver
originally called (no doubt fearing the authorities due to his illegal
presence in this country), and a woman who clearly has a vendetta
against Phil Specctor. Her blog posts and comments suggest a jealous
and hostile woman who was angry that Phil Spector was involved with his
current wife. Blaine evidently manipulated Mr. Spector into ridding
himself of people familiar with him and loyal to him - including his
ex-wife, Janice Spector, personal assistant, Paulette Brandt, and
driver, Morgan Martin. I am friendly with all of these individuals who I
have known for years. Thank you for your refreshing email.

Hello, I have read your various blogs regarding Phil Spector and found them interesting.I have been researching the incident, trials and outcome for a long time and have formed some definite conclusions.Both trials were unfair, the judge was prejudicial toward the prosecution and in the second trial...a blogger...favoring the prosecution...must have influenced the jury.I have a question for you...Did the movie commit suicide like Lana Clarkson did at Phil Spector's house after, according to his former assistant, telling him "This is what I can do to your cock?"The quote above is from a blog that you posted in March at the time of the HBO film.The "former assistant" is obviously Michelle Blaine...What is the source of her quote...? and is there any more?On a site called "Wall of Guilt"...in a blog from 2009...a bitter Michelle Blaine posts thatSpector told her that he shot Clarkson the morning after the event...Any thoughts on this contradiction?I would welcome the opportunity to communicate with you furhter on this matter.Thanks.Chuck Harter ( in L.A. near Culver City)
Wars of Words Are Violent, Too by His Holiness Karmapa Thaye Dorje
The so-called war of words involving North Korea, South Korea and the United States, raises an important question for our time: how do we define violence?
Many people have pointed to the threat of violent conflict, but I believe that it has already taken place. In Buddhism, violence is thought of not just as physical action, but in terms of our thoughts and words as well. We can see through history that physical conflict rarely takes place without violent thoughts and words preceding them. Our thoughts manifest our words. Our words manifest our deeds.
As Buddha Shakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism says: "Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world."
In the face of so much conflict, how can we manifest a world that heals, rather than destroys?
In many ways, conflicts are inevitable as we are living in an ever-changing world; they are part of our life.
How we approach them, and whether we respond to them in a violent or nonviolent way, is very important. From a Buddhist perspective, ignorance is believed to be the original cause of conflict. Can you think of a conflict that has not in some way flowed from a lack of understanding or misunderstanding? Whether the conflict is little or large, the cause is not a mystery, but an aggregate of small misunderstandings accumulated over time.
If conflicts and misunderstandings are not tackled, disturbing emotions such as anger, hatred, and attachment, lead to confusion. And where does confusion lead? To wars of words, to physical conflict.
The solutions to conflicts, whether in North Korea, or in our own minds, lies in understanding. There have been many reports and suggestions about the importance of dialogue between North Korea, South Korea and the United States, but little attention has been paid to what dialogue is really for - to build understanding. There is no need for complicated solutions or cumbersome ideas. Sometimes these can be expressed through confusing or even violent phrases like 'diplomatic offensive.' Instead, we can apply simple logic and enter into an honest effort to understand one another.
I believe that this understanding is an inherent quality. Within all of us is a limitless pool, an inner wealth, that we can tap into to help calm the mind. This inner wealth is vast, with all of the understanding that we will ever need. There are many ways that we can access or reveal this inner wealth: through meditation, contemplation, or simply trying to breathe and calm the mind.
When we do this, we take an important step down a nonviolent path. As the great Hindu leader Gandhi Ji once said,
"We may never be strong enough to be entirely nonviolent in thought, word and deed. But we must keep nonviolence as our goal and make strong progress towards it."
Some might say that it is easier said than done. But when we realise how closely related thinking, saying and doing are, it is better to speak a word of peace, than to say nothing at all.

Many people have pointed to the threat of violent conflict, but I believe that it has already taken place. In Buddhism, violence is thought of not just as physical action, but in terms of our thoughts and words as well. We can see through history that physical conflict rarely takes place without violent thoughts and words preceding them. Our thoughts manifest our words. Our words manifest our deeds.
As Buddha Shakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism says: "Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world."
In the face of so much conflict, how can we manifest a world that heals, rather than destroys?
In many ways, conflicts are inevitable as we are living in an ever-changing world; they are part of our life.
How we approach them, and whether we respond to them in a violent or nonviolent way, is very important. From a Buddhist perspective, ignorance is believed to be the original cause of conflict. Can you think of a conflict that has not in some way flowed from a lack of understanding or misunderstanding? Whether the conflict is little or large, the cause is not a mystery, but an aggregate of small misunderstandings accumulated over time.
If conflicts and misunderstandings are not tackled, disturbing emotions such as anger, hatred, and attachment, lead to confusion. And where does confusion lead? To wars of words, to physical conflict.
The solutions to conflicts, whether in North Korea, or in our own minds, lies in understanding. There have been many reports and suggestions about the importance of dialogue between North Korea, South Korea and the United States, but little attention has been paid to what dialogue is really for - to build understanding. There is no need for complicated solutions or cumbersome ideas. Sometimes these can be expressed through confusing or even violent phrases like 'diplomatic offensive.' Instead, we can apply simple logic and enter into an honest effort to understand one another.

The 14th Sharmapa: That is to say, you may ban the publication completely or parade it on the neck of a dog throughout the city.
03.01.13
This is a description of why it is appropriate for Buddhist teachers to write books and involve in any social work which is deemed good for society.
From the Time of Buddha until now, the curriculum
of Buddhist study has been language (including all known spoken
languages such as Sanskrit etc.), art (including painting, carving
sculptures etc.), logic, natural sciences, social and political ethics,
medicine, mathematics, world history, philosophy, mind science and
meditation.
When one completes these subjects they were expected to write a book on any one of these topics. Then, other scholars would examine and critique the views espoused in their master thesis. Once one had passed the critique of other scholars, they would get the degree of a Mahapundit.
Accordingly, depending on how many subjects one had mastered, they would then receive particular umbrellas respectively. When one received an umbrella of peacock feathers, it indicated that they were a qualified pundit. When one received a gold painted umbrella, this meant they were considered a Mahapundit (a great Buddhist scholar).
All of these subjects were studied in order to write books or teach to the public for the good of the people. If a book was deemed a particularly evil book, then the government would put that book on the neck of a dog and the book would have been paraded throughout the city. If a book was considered to be not so accurate, they would just ban the publication.
The parading of the book on the neck of a dog has not been used for quite some time. However, the tradition of receiving criticism from other scholars has still been practiced up to the present day. According to the Buddhist view, writing a book is for the benefit of others. Therefore, they say your book must be logically accurate. If it is just your own thinking, and it is uncertain that it is beneficial for others, they say it is good to write in your own notebook but not fit for publishing, as it may mislead others. Otherwise, one can publish with the intent to have it scrutinized and validated by others for its accuracy.
Buddhist teachers can write books on politics, ethics etc., if it is deemed good for society. Buddhist teachers are not merely Tantric gurus who hold ritualistic bells in their hands and stand next to statues. Therefore, I wrote the book "Creating A Transparent Democracy: A New Model" for the good of society and only after I was certain myself that it was logically flawless and was needed for the world today did I decide to publish it.
If it is deemed by scholars to either be inaccurate or it is considered to be evilly written, then you are most welcome to treat my book in either of the previous ways mentioned. That is to say, you may ban the publication completely or parade it on the neck of a dog throughout the city.
Best wishes,

Hi Mick,
It's clear to me (and others) that Gianelli is engaged in slander and psychological warfare meant to intimidate people in my life, turn them against me, and abandon my intention to file a motion to vacate Leonard Cohen's fraud and retaliatory lawsuit. Someone noted that Gianelli, in his emails, is fixated on Cohen and the Grand Jury transcripts that you reviewed. You did confirm that Cohen's statements were used in the Spector Grand Jury and I pointed you to two Motions in Limine (available on LA Superior Court's website) where Cohen's gun story is used against Phil Spector. He, however, testified to an entirely different version of the gun story but wrote the prosecutor (concealed from the jurors by Sandra Jo Streeter who I view as an absolute lying sycophant that has serious psychiatric issues) about a third version. Two are clearly lies, if not all three. Cohen did tell me for approximately 20 years that Phillip never held a gun on him. In any event, Boies Schiller reviewed transcripts of my conversations with Janice Zavala Spector where we realized the DA was lying about Phillip. And, Paulette understands that he is innocent. No one interviewed her and she was his assistant for 11 years until Blaine rolled in and got rid of everyone in Phillip's life, stole from him, etc.
In any event, GIanelli has motive and continues to criminally
harass me and many people. Someone just advised me to call the Greek
Embassy in Crete about this lunatic. I might contact them. They might
as well understand that they have a deranged psychopath in their midst.
He has been advised to cease and desist. Of course, Susanne Walsh is
also in Denmark but she copied in Michelle Rice who is in Beverly
Hills. People are commenting on LA's corrupt legal system and the fact
that powerful, wealthy people can easily destroy someone in an offensive
attempt to toss someone under the bus over their wrongdoing. And then,
there are serious problems with LA Superior Court and proofs of
service. One wonders how they think they obtain personal jurisdiction
over people and it is being noted that it's inconceivable the judges are
unaware of this.It's clear to me (and others) that Gianelli is engaged in slander and psychological warfare meant to intimidate people in my life, turn them against me, and abandon my intention to file a motion to vacate Leonard Cohen's fraud and retaliatory lawsuit.

Dear Nikhil Ramnaney,
Thank
you for your letter. I'm afraid there has been a misunderstanding here.
At the time I was writing my book about Phil Spector I was sent copies
of material that, as I understood it, had been submitted to the Grand
Jury in the Phil Spector case. Included in this material were (short)
statements from Leonard Cohen. I might well have mentioned to Ms Lynch
that these statements were included in materials presented to the Grand
Jury. However, I do not recall having stated that Mr Cohen himself had
testified to the Grand Jury. Indeed, I
would have had no way or knowing whether he had or not.
My
feeling is that these statements had not been given by Mr Cohen
personally at the time, but were actually taken from one or more
interviews that he had given in the past concerning his recording
sessions with Mr. Spector.
I
hope this answers your question. If it's helpful, I shall try and find
the original material that was sent to me. If I can be of any more help

Leonard Cohen, he approached the singer clutching a bottle of Jewish
ritual wine in one hand and a pistol in the other, which he shoved into
Cohen's neck, whispering 'Leonard, I love you.' Cohen with admirable
aplomb, simply moved the barrel away, saying 'I hope you do, Phil'.

Kelley,
I have looked for the documents I was sent in connection with the Grand
Jury and been unable to find them. They were sent to me by my friend the
journalist and author Carlton Smith, who unfortunately has since passed
away. However, I'm sure you would be able to access them from the same
source as Carlton did. My understanding is they were/are on the public
record.
I do not recall ever saying to you that Cohen himself had testified. If I
did, it was my mistake. My recollection is that the statement from Leonard
Cohen was the same statement that had already appeared in media
interviews, pertaining to the incident in the studio during the recording
of 'Death Of A Ladies Man'. My recollection is that it was on a single
sheet of paper. I have no idea whether Leonard Cohen personally made this
statement to the DA, or whether - and I suspect this is the case - that
quote had simply been taken from previously published interviews
There was no mention of any statement attributed to Cohen in either of the
two subsequent trials.

Leonard
Cohen’s statements were indeed used in prosecution motions in Phil
Spector’s trials. The following are excerpts from the prosecution’s
Motion to Admit Evidence of Other Crimes in Case No. BA255233, filed on
August 14, 2008 and from the prosecution’s Motion in Limine to admit
evidence of other crimes filed on February 17, 2005.
“Defendant
Phillip Spector has built a history, spanning some 40 odd years,of
using gun-related violence when confronted with a situation when he
feels a loss of control, or a threat to his control. On February 17,
2005, the People filed a motion in limine to admit evidence of other
acts committed by Spector. Under that separate cover, the facts of the
following incidents were set forth in detail and in their entirety.
Thus, in an effort towards brevity, only a short recitation of such
incidents will be discussed below. Spector has a long history of
resorting to gun-related violence to exert his will when he does not get
his way. Int begins in 1972 and continues to the present.”
“C. The 1977 Brandishing on Leonard Cohen: 1977,
Spector produced musician Leonard Cohen's record album, "Death of a
Ladies man." during production of the record, Cohen and Spector, who
were friends, were taking a break in the lobby of the music studio.
Spector walked up to Cohen, placed on arm around Cohen's shoulders, and pointed a semi-automatic pistol at Cohen's chest with
his other hand. Spector told Cohen, "I love you Leonard." Cohen looked
at Spector and said, "I hope so, Phil." Spector then walked away from
Cohen.”

Hello Ray,
Read the tax memo prepared for Cohen. Unfortunately, he had a green card and funneled his world-wide publishing income into off-shore accounts. As Steven Machat said in his book - Cohen uses corporations to avoid paying taxes and falsely accuses his advisers of ripping him off. Steven Machat should know. He and his father represented Cohen and Steven Machat knows this also - Cohen sold Phil Spector's masters to Sony. That's called theft. Leonard Cohen is a thief. Gianelli is a criminal from my perspective with motive. Who is the lunatic? He's been contacting you since you were a minor and I have been clear - any dangerously unstable stark raving lunatic/stranger lawyer who attempts to lure my son into privately communicating with him (or contacts him) as a minor will be viewed as a sexual predator and potential NAMBLA member. I've addressed this in my writ of habeas corpus that the judge approved and filed. Gianelli lies about that matter also. I will now use that particular lie to prove to judges that Gianelli lies about anything and everything - including their orders.Gianelli wrote you this morning? If I were you, I would save that evidence. I personally view it as criminal harassment and witness tampering. You witnessed the conversation I had with Robert Kory where I addressed Cohen's tax fraud, the missing state tax returns, Cohen's theft and withholding of my commissions, and Cohen/Kory's threats to put me in jail. My lawyers think that was the plan all along. Also, the use of fraudulent restraining orders to silence me and prevent me from participating in litigation which is a very serious matter. In any event, after we stopped into see Kory and you witnessed that conversation (that I documented for Boies Schiller at the time), Cohen and Kory began encouraging your father to take custody of you from me. They also advised your father that I had sex with Oliver Stone which is a bald-faced lie and Oliver Stone might wonder why Cohen attempted to drag him into his tax fraud matter.Mother

All the best,To the IRS Commissioner's Staff,This memo, prepared for Cohen, seems to address the genesis of Leonard Cohen's U.S. tax problems. He held a green card as of 1977 and funneled worldwide income to off-shore accounts such as Loyens & Volkmaars in Holland. He also had a Swiss bank account. I can assure you that slander, defamation, and libel - including by dangerously unstable and obsessed Gianelli - is not a defense to anything. Gianelli has lied to the IRS and FBI about me and has transmitted fraud to the IRS about me. The criminal harassment continues and Paulette Brandt, Phil Spector's former assistant, is now the target.

Letter to Bill Dubey/Elmer, Fox, Westheimer & Co., CPAs from Ken Fratco dated August 22, 1977Subject: Tax Planning for Leonard Cohen
Basis for Taxation
Leonard Cohen has ties with several jurisdictions which could serve as a basis for taxing income earned by him. These jurisdictions are Canada, Greece, and the United States. I would like to set-out the basis for taxation in each of these countries. Canada taxes the world-wide income of its residents. Canada defines residents as those individuals physically residing in Canada. Greece also taxes the world-wide income of its residents; however, the Greek law defines residents as those individuals who have an actual dwelling place in Greece and who are domiciled in Greece. The U.S., on the other hand, taxes both citizens and residents on their world-wide income. The U.S. definition of residents is much broader and more encompassing than that of Canada or Greece. Any individual who resides in the U.S, for other than on a temporary basis or any individual who considers himself a domiciliary of the U.S., whether or not physically present in the U.S., is considered to be a resident of the U.S. All three countries tax income from a source within their respective jurisdiction paid to non-residents; there are, however several exceptions established by treaty.
Because of the facts of Leonard Cohen’s case, a closer examination of what is considered U.S. source income and how it is taxed is necessary. Any compensation paid by a U.S. corporation is considered to be U.S. source income. If that compensation is paid in connection with the performance of personal services in the U.S. by a non-resident alien then such income is considered to be effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business and is taxed at the graduated income tax rates which apply to citizens and residents (IRC Sec. 871 (b)(1)).
If the non-resident alien does not perform personal services within the U.S. then such compensation paid will be taxable at a flat 30% rate (Reg. 1.864-3 and IRC Sect. 871(a)(1)).
Recommendations
Leonard Cohen, while remaining a Canadian citizen, should continue to reside outside of Canada. He should, however, from time to time, accomplish acts which establish Canada as his domicile - the place he truly considers his home. Such actions, of course, must not include actually staying in Canada for other than temporary, short-term trips. Because Canada only taxes individuals who are residents, continued citizenship and domicile will not subject him to Canadian taxes and will aid him in preventing taxation by the U.S. or Greece on world-wide income.
Because the U.S. taxes non-resident aliens on U.S. source income and because compensation paid from a U.S. corporation is considered U.S. source income, only royalties and performance income from services performed in the U.S. should be funnelled into the U.S. corporations. Royalties and performance income from sources outside the U.S. will not be taxed by the U.S. as long as Leonard Cohen remains a non-resident alien and as long as such income is not funnelled through the U.S. corporation.
Leonard Cohen’s stays in the U.S. should be continued under a non-resident visa (H-1 qualifies as such) and should be temporary in nature. Temporary residents, even of long duration, merely for the purpose of transacting business or engaging in employment is not sufficient to establish residency. Hutchins v. Commissioner, 8 TCM December 18, 178. It should be noted, however, that residing in the U.S. for one year sets up a presumption of residency. Even though such presumption may be rebutted by proper evidence Leonard Cohen’s stays should be monitored and should not extend to a year.
Income from royalties and performance income outside the U.S. should be funnelled through a corporation incorporated in a “tax haven”country”. This will prevent taxation by the U.S. and will most likely limit withholding by other countries where royalties and performance income are earned.
As far as Greece is concerned, so long as Leonard Cohen’s domicile can be established for being elsewhere, there is no basis for taxing any income other than from Greek sources. The fact that Leonard Cohen maintains a house in Greece and will, from time to time, stay in Greece will not in and of themselves cause taxation. His trip to and ties to Greece should be reviewed periodically to prevent any presumption of domicile.

Gianelli is criminally harassing a number of people in my life right now. I am aware that your lawyer advised him to cease and desist after he falsely accused you and David and publicly attempted to blackmail you. This man is dangerously unstable. He wrote Ray Lawrence, my former landlord, that he inadvertently emailed him earlier. He was emailing Ray Lindsey. How would you like this psychopath targeting your daughter? Rutger is well aware that I have been sick and hospitalized with high blood pressure, heart problems, etc. Gianelli doesn't know him or me and is a bald-faced liar with motive. I have witnesses who accompanied me to the hospital and one of them spoke with Rutger after the ambulance picked me up. I still haven't seen Leonard Cohen's defense to tax fraud, fraud, theft, concealment, perjury, etc. I suppose it's SLANDER.

Rutger,
There's no one random on my emails and that includes Phil Spector's former assistant, Paulette Brandt, who also knows that he's innocent.
Gianelli is a sick individual. People are wondering whose payroll he's on.
Love,
Mother

Love,Hi Paulette,Thank you. Just keep forwarding me Gianelli's criminally harassing emails that are utterly slanderous and outrageous. He doesn't speak for Rutger but was contacting my younger son this morning, as my former landlord advised me. This man is completely out of control and keep in mind - he's affiliated with Michelle Blaine, a bald-face liar and thief who stole $900,000 from Phillip and who - together with Gianelli - targeted my email accounts and blogs. I captured the evidence where Blaine publicly thanked Gianelli over this outrageous incident that i have brought to the attention of Google's legal team and investigators.

Rutger,Gianelli doesn't know you but is writing (criminally harassing) my friend, Paulette Brandt. He doesn't speak for you but lies about everything. Ray Lawrence told me earlier that he received an email from Gianelli advising him that he inadvertently emailed him because he confused his email with your brother's email address. He doesn't know your brother. Gianelli's obsession with our family is psychotic and frightening.Love,

Kelley LynchGianelli,For the record, you do NOT speak for Rutger Penick or anyone else. If Agent Wynar/FBI slandered me for you, he should be forced to resign since everyone is nothing that you are a dangerously unstable stark raving lunatic with motive who is out of control with respect to me, my family, and others.
Cease and desist. This is ongoing criminal harassment of Paulette Brandt who has made her views re. Cohen and Phil Spector clear. You don't know my son Rutger but he is a witness and you have engaged in egregious witness tampering with respect to him and others. I have been quite clear with the IRS and FBI about this matter. I have now heard, from Ray Lawrence (who advised you NOT to contact him again and noted that he viewed your emails as harassment) that you wrote him inadvertently when writing my younger son, Ray Lindsey. You are a stranger and no one in my family knows you. My sister hired a lawyer who advised you NOT to contact her or her husband again. You refused and continued to criminally harass her. You also falsely accused her (slandering them) and her husband of starting their business with Cohen's cash. That's a bald-faced lie as is everything else Cohen, you, Walsh and others are lying about with respect to me. Then, you publicly attempted to blackmail my sister.
Rutger is well aware that I have been sick with high blood pressure, heart problems, and other physical issues. I also discussed this with Detective Viramontes/LAPD who personally advised me that he too has high blood pressure.Rutger also wrote you and advised you to cease and desist.CEASE AND DESIST.

When Rutger wrote to his mother saying "you are sick" and "you are not thinking clearly right now" and " you need help" and you need to stop emailing all of these public officials and random people" he was not talking about high blood pressure.
Gianelli doesn't speak for Rutger Penick, doesn't know him, and was advised - by Rutger - to cease and desist. I have most definitely had serious physical problems and Rutger is well aware of this. That would include two recent trips to the hospital. There are no random people copied in on my emails.
