THE IRS AND OBAMA MUST GO!

For most of my adult life I like many of my fellow citizens have been intimidated by the IRS. When you get a call or a letter from the IRS it is usually not good news and this agency unlike other Federal agencies, operates on the basis that you are guilty first and then have to prove your innocence. Over time it has evolved or devolved into a truly un-American arm of the Federal government with total discretion over who to audit, intimidate and destroy and we have tolerated it for far too long. No American should live in fear of his or her government or feel that they have no rights when the heavy hand of the government come down on them. No Americans should have their lives destroyed by government for honest mistakes or because of their political, religious or cultural beliefs or affiliations.

 

As this regime is swallowed up by multiple scandals of their own creation the one involving the IRS is the one who affects most individuals and ultimately may be the one that becomes the most infamous.

 

In the initial days of what is becoming a crisis for the nation we have learned that the IRS has over the past two election cycles has reportedly done the following.

…Targeted groups and organizations with the buzz words “Tea Party” , “Patriot” or “9/12” in their titles for inordinately lengthy and intrusive reviews with regard to granting them either 501 ( c) (3) or 501 ( c ) (4) tax exempt status. The delays in granting them this status effectively prevented them from performing legal political and educational functions with regard to issues critical to the 2012 Presidential election. The agency issued what was known as a BOLO or “Be On the Lookout For“ order in this regard…

 

…According to Front Page Magazine… under penalty of perjury “the IRS demanded to know if political candidates participated in public forums They demanded copies of literature distributed at public forums, as well as that published by the groups on their websites. If an organization collected dues, the IRS demanded to know how much, as well as the names of all donors and recipients of grants, a violation of IRS policy. They further insisted on obtaining information, not just about every member of an organization, but their family members as well, including those who had merely considered running for office.”

 

…. According to the Washington Post, the same report noted that “IRS officials also gave added scrutiny to nonprofit groups that were critical of the government, as well as those that educated Americans about the U.S. Constitution. And the Jewish Press revealed that pro-Israel groups “whose positions were potentially inconsistent with the administration’s” also received additional attention. An IRS agent told the staunchly pro-Israel group Z STREET that because it was “connected to Israel,” it received more scrutiny and that other Israel-related organizations were assigned to “a special unit in the D.C. office to determine whether the organization’s activities contradict the Administration’s public policies.”

 

…Again according to Front Page, “the Associated Press (the same AP now subject to a controversial FBI phone search on a supposed unrelated matter) obtained a draft of an inspector general’s (IG) report that revealed senior IRS officials knew agents were targeting conservative groups for extra scrutiny as early as 2011...

 

…Subsequent to these revelations it became known that even more groups were targeted giving extra scrutiny to organizations that were critical of the government in general as well as those who educated the public about the US Constitution, worried about government spending, debt or taxes and even those who lobbied “to make America a better place to live” or who were critical of “big government“ in particular….

 

…In 2010 an administration official later identified as Austen Goolsbee, told reporters that Koch Industries were cheating on their taxes citing information that could only have come from the IRS. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid claimed during the 2012 campaign that he had information that Mitt Romney hadn’t paid his taxes…information that could only have come from the IRS…

 

…Accuracy in Media writes that film maker Joel Gilbert who directed the film “Dreams from My Real Father” which takes the position that the real father of Barack Obama was Frank Marshall Davis, an avowed Communist, pornographer and writer who served as Osama’s mentor when he was abandoned by his mother and went to Hawaii to live with his grandparents. was audited by the IRS in 2012 re his 2009 tax returns . The IRS denied all his business expenses even though they were well documented. The IRS then allegedly acquired information regarding his customers who purchased the film and passed the information to left wing journalist Seth Rosenfeld who “began targeting customers who bought large quantities of the film”. Rosenfeld works for the “Center for Investigative Reporting (CIR) which is funded by George Soros.

 

…According to Breitbart, the progressive group “Pro Publica” asked the IRS for files of 67 different organizations who had been approved for non profit status. The IRS sent Pro Publica documentation for 31 organizations including 9 applications which had not been approved which is against the law. These illegally received documents included donor information which “Pro Publica” redacted for 6 of the documents and made them public. “Pro Publica” is also funded by Soros. The organizations that were included in this batch were “Crossroads GPS” founded by Karl Rove, “Americans for Responsible Leadership”, “Freedom Path”, “Rightchange.com II”, “America is not Stupid”, “A Better America Now”, the “Citizen Awareness Project”, the “YG Network” and “SecureAmericaNow.org”. No information on liberal or progressive entities were sent to “Pro Publica”…

 

…WND reports that Dr. James Dobson the head of “ Family Talk Action” and a leader of Evangelical Christians in the US and the author of 30 books had his 501 ( c ) (4) application denied and was told by IRS reviewing agent R. Medley (ID # 52402) that the application was being denied because “Family Talk Action is not educational” and sounded like a “partisan right-wing group” because it “only represented conservative viewpoints”.

 

…USA TODAY reported on May 16, 2013 that. -- “In a blistering letter to President Barack Obama, the Rev. Franklin Graham said the IRS targeted the two non-profits he heads with an audit last year after the organizations took out ads urging people to support biblical principles on marriage and in choosing political candidates.
In the letter, dated Tuesday, Graham said in light of recent revelations that the Internal Revenue Service targeted conservative groups with "tea party" or "patriot" in their names, he does not believe the audit was "a coincidence — or justifiable." Graham, son of famed Christian evangelist the Rev. Billy Graham, now heads the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association based in Charlotte, N.C., and Samaritan's Purse, a worldwide relief organization…”

 

Newsmax reports that no Tea Party applications were approved for a 27 month period beginning in February 2010 but the following “Progressive” organizations were approved:
“Bus for Progress”
“Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment”
“Progress Florida”
and the Barack H. Obama Foundation run by the President’s half-brother “Abongo “Roy” Malik Obama. This last entity was raising money illegally since 2008 and was given a “retroactive “ exemption from June 2011 to December 2008...

 

Newsmax also reported that weeks after Obama was elected President in 2008, “Catholic League” president Bill Donohue was notified that the League was being audited by the IRS. This followed on the heels of a news release stating that the Catholic left was being funded by George Soros. This audit was instigated by the same left wing Catholic organizations funded by Soros…

 

…CAN/EWTN News reports that two pro life groups, “Coalition for Life of Iowa” and “Christian Voices for Life” were withheld tax exempt status because they refused to consent to an IRS demand that they send the IRS a letter that they “do not picket/protest or organize groups to to picket/protest outside of Planned Parenthood” The Coalition was also asked by the IRS to disclose the content of their members prayers…

 

…WND reports that Wayne Allyn Root, a candidate for Vice-President on the Libertarian Party ticket in 2008 and a person who was at Columbia University as a pre-law and political science major along with Barack Obama was audited in a series of audits beginning in January 2011. Root , an author, critic of Obama and frequent guests on radio and TV talk shows has asserted that Obama was unknown to him and as many as 400 other classmates he has canvassed.. Root is outspoken in believing and stating that he believes that Obama is both a tyrant and a Marxist…

 

WND, the O’Reilly Factor and the WSJ also reported that in 2012 billionaire and Romney National Finance Co-Chair Frank VanderSloot was targeted for investigations by both the IRS and the Labor Department after he gave $1 million to a Super Pac supporting Mitt Romney. Mr. VanderSloot was subjected to four separate audits and was cleared in all four. Ironically it turned out that the IRS owed Mr. Vander loot a refund which he has yet to receive. In addition Las Vegas Casino owner and GOP supporter Sheldon Adelson reported that a politically motivated criminal investigation was initiated against him while Casino operator and Obama critic Steve Wynn and investor Louis Bacon were also investigated…

 

…USA TODAY and Gretawire also reported that ‘In March of 2012 the Human Rights Campaign published a confidential tax return of the National Organization for Marriage, which was immediately republished by The Huffington Post and other liberal news media outlets. The HRC and NOM are the leading national groups on opposing sides of the fight over gay marriage. HRC wants to redefine marriage to make it genderless, while NOM wishes to preserve marriage as the union of one man and one woman.” While confidential donor information was redacted it was possible to bypass the redaction and expose this confidential information to the public“…

 

…The WSJ reported that “Secure America Now” (SAN) a conservative organization that promotes national security related to North Korea, Iran, Israel and Libya, has had it’s 501 ( c ) (4 ) tax exempt status delayed since April 2011. In 2012 the IRS intensified it’s examination of SAN after the group produced a video seen by up to four million people that was critical of how Obama handled the Benghazi crisis. Despite the IRS IG stating that organizations like SAN were illegally targeted, the IRS has still refused to grant the exemption…

 

…The WSJ also reported that up to 9 Democratic Senators had sent letters or made public comments, beginning as early as September 2010, urging the IRS to intensify the screenings of conservative organizations who were applying for not for profit status. Theses Senators included Chuck Schumer, Al Franken, Carl Levin, Max Baucus, Michael Bennet, Jeff Merkley, Jeanne Shaheen, Tom Udall and Sheldon Whitehouse…

 

…The Weekly Standard reports that the IRS deliberately kept the information concerning these activities, from the public and the Congress until after the 2012 election. The then IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman, seemingly deliberately lied to Congress who had specifically questioned him on whether or not these policies were in existence…

 

…The American Spectator reports that the IRS is being sued by a medical company in California for stealing more than 60 million medical records involving at least one million Californians in the course of investigating a case involving only a tax matter…

 

…The American Spectator in a major article by Jeffrey Lord reports in detail about the NTEU , the National Treasury Employees Union , a left wing union that represents 150,000 employees in 31 federal agencies including the IRS. 94% of it’s contributions go to Democrats including Tammy Baldwin in Wisconsin, Joe Donnelly in Indiana, Claire McCaskill in Missouri, House minority leader Nancy Pelosi and House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer All of these politicians ran as anti Tea Party candidates. This begs the question as to who worked on this policy within the IRS or on the IG’s report and were they members of this rabidly anti Tea Party public sector union?…

 

At the House Ways and Means hearing on this scandal held on Friday May 17, 2013 the Department of the Treasury /IRS inspector General J. Russell George disclosed that the upper echelon leadership of Treasury knew about the audits of Conservative Organizations as early as June 4, 2012. If this is true then Barack Obama broke the law in the same way that Richard Nixon did since it would be inconceivable that the White House if not the Obama Campaign had to know about much if not all of the above. If they did not then this President is the most incompetent in history.

 

At the present time the IRS official, Attorney Sarah Hall Ingram who directly oversaw this operation was given four bonuses worth $103, 390 which many believe could only have been approved directly by Barack Obama himself. Her reward for presided over what may be the most criminal domestic conspiracy in American History is to be the newly appointed head of the IRS “Obamacare “ enforcement office . As such she will have an army of 16,000 IRS agents whose only responsibility will be to micromanage your health care and punish you if you don’t do what they tell you to do.

 

This must never happen! The IRS must be stripped of any role in Obamacare and in fact must be shut down and designated as a criminal enterprise under the RICO statute. It is now an ideal time to dramatically change the Tax Code, eliminate the IRS in it’s entirety, prosecute and convict everyone involved in this disgusting affair and impeach Barack Obama before we lose the country forever. The IRS outgoing Commissioner Steven Miller summed up the state of affairs in the IRS and the Obama Administration when he told the Ways and Means Committee to gasps of disbelief, that nothing the IRS did was illegal.
