Bombshell: White House Knew of IRS Scandal 5 Months Before Election

angryobama

angryobamaThe New York Times is now reporting that the Obama administration did in fact know of the IRS targeting of Tea Party groups a full 5 months before the election. Linking this to Obama himself will likely be more difficult, but it’s pretty clear at this point that his administration knew exactly what was going on, and they covered it up for until after the election.

Remember, the low-level workers busted for the scandal point-blank say they were just following orders from up above. We already knew this led to somewhere in Washington. The fact that it actually leads to the Obama administration itself is proof that this isn’t just a small-time scandal — this should end Obama’s presidency. He should resign or be impeached, immediately.

The New York Times explains:

“The Treasury Department’s inspector general told senior Treasury officials in June 2012 he was investigating the Internal Revenue Service’s screening of politically active organizations seeking tax exemptions, disclosing for the first time on Friday that Obama administration officials were aware of the matter during the presidential campaign year.”

Obama’s response to the scandal was essentially just pretending it didn’t happen — and then claiming he just found out about it as well. Then he made a big deal about firing the acting chief of the IRS. The problem, of course, was that it was still just a show — the IRS chief was going to step down next month anyway. From the same New York Times article as above:

“Mr. Miller, as an acting I.R.S. chief, was likely to step down in June anyway, unless nominated for the permanent position.”

Miller was answering questions in congress earlier today, and it’s clear he knows how far up this goes, but is lying about it blatantly. He claims he asked who was responsible for the Tea Party attack, then claims he “can’t remember” who it was. Watch him lie here.

Fundamentally, most seem to understand that Obama likely knew exactly what was going on — if not directly ordering it. It gave him a massive advantage during the election, would have given him a power rush that he apparently loves to experience, and it would lower the opposition to his agenda in the second term — or so he thought. We can’t yet prove his involvement in a court of law, but give it time, and the truth will come out.

In the end, the IRS rigged the election in Obama’s favor.

Thanks to Breitbart.com for pointing this out originally. They stopped new Tea Party groups from being tax exempt for a full two years. This isn’t just politics. This is criminal behavior that should put people behind bars. We can’t stop pressuring on this — everything is at stake.

Video: IRS Chief “Can’t Remember” Who Ordered Tea Party Attack

923218_10152853841400093_1137220848_nThe acting IRS commissioner claims he “can’t remember” who was responsible for the attack on the Tea Party. He admits that he asked who it was, that he was told who it was — but claims he can’t remember. This is an old legal move where people can simply say they don’t remember in order to protect the guilty. Everyone knows what’s happening, which is why it’s frustrating to those in the room. Watch him lie here:

Politicians and government officials seem to enjoy lying to the rest of the country. Sometimes I wonder if it’s because they know they usually get away with it — and get paid handsomely for it. Obama isn’t going to go hungry any time soon, and his total contribution to the political sphere are failed policies, lies, and photo ops with celebrities. It’s pathetic.

National Review posted the following:

Acting IRS commissioner Steven Miller said indicated he did not know who was responsible for the targeting of conservative groups by IRS agents. ”I don’t have that name, sir,” he told GOP congressman Dave Reichert in today’s House Ways and Means Committee hearing on the scandal, which came to light last Friday.

Reichert persisted, “Did you ask anybody?”

“Yes,” Miller responded — he asked the senior technical adviser, Nancy Marks.

“And what did Nancy tell you, who’s responsible?” Reichert asked.

“That I don’t remember, to be honest with you,” Miller said.

Lying to congress is illegal. That’s why Hillary could be prosecuted right now, actually. But don’t expect the Obama administration to care about that anytime soon. What a disgrace.

IRS Official Who Ran Anti-Tea Party Unit Runs Obamacare

Barack Obama

You can’t make this stuff up. The person in charge of the IRS’s unit that reviewed tax-exempt organizations is now in charge of the main Obamacare office. In other words, the person in charge of the attack on conservatives and libertarians will now be a leader of Obamacare.

Yes, the corruption is rampant. Apparently, Obama thought he could get completely away with this kind of sickening behavior, and seems shocked and angered at the bi-partisan outrage.

In the end, Obamacare will be enforced by the IRS. The people doing the enforcing will be those who spent two years trying to hurt the liberty movement with the IRS in order to swing the election. This is more proof that everyone involved in the attack and the cover-up should be prosecuted and eventually jailed — they shouldn’t get away with this.

ABC News reports:

The Internal Revenue Service official in charge of the tax-exempt organizations at the time when the unit targeted tea party groups now runs the IRS office responsible for the health care legislation.

Sarah Hall Ingram served as commissioner of the office responsible for tax-exempt organizations between 2009 and 2012. But Ingram has since left that part of the IRS and is now the director of the IRS’ Affordable Care Act office, the IRS confirmed to ABC News today.

Her successor, Joseph Grant, is taking the fall for misdeeds at the scandal-plagued unit between 2010 and 2012. During at least part of that time, Grant served as deputy commissioner of the tax-exempt unit.

In other words, the guy who is being forced to “take the fall” wasn’t in charge of the attacks — that person has received a major promotion and will be in charge of Obamacare.

Like I said, you can’t make this stuff up.

Meanwhile, people are finally turning on Obama. Please spread the news and help people see what’s really going on. The simplest way to do this is to just leave a comment below — this will help your friends see the story.

IRS Tried to Swing Election Towards Obama

Barack Obama

The IRS targeted liberty-oriented groups. We know this now. Obama’s response was fake “firing” someone who was going to be gone next month anyway while still trying to cover-up how deep the actual scandal went. And how deep does it go?

The IRS tried to swing the election towards Obama. As Investor’s Business Daily reports, emphasis mine, “USA Today found that in the 27 months after Feb. 2010, the IRS did not approve a single Tea Party application. Over those same months, however, dozens of applications submitted by liberal groups that were engaged in the same type of activities and were seeking the same tax status as the conservative ones sailed through the agency.”

In other words, between the midterm election and the presidential election, the IRS stopped the Tea Party from growing in order to combat Obama. In a close election, that can be the difference between victory or defeat. That’s election rigging. That’s fraud. That’s illegal. That means people should go to jail.

So was this just a “low level” problem? Absolutely not. In fact, IRS workers just “did what their bosses told them“. This goes all the way to Washington. The idea that Obama didn’t know about this is a pure lie. When we finally get the proof — and we will — we’ll have more than enough to impeach AND prosecute these treasonous criminals.

Barack Obama: The Pathological Liar

Barack Obama is a liar. He’ll lie for any kind of political gain he thinks it’ll get him. He’s lied about raising taxes, Guantanamo Bay, civil liberties, the 4th Amendment, foreign policy, Benghazi, and the IRS. He lies constantly.

The latest lie is the idea that he’s going to try to punish the IRS officials who used the IRS as an attack dog on Tea-Party activists. He gave a public address yesterday, quickly said that he would accept the resignation of the acting IRS commissioner Steve Miller. Supposedly, this makes everything better, and we can move on to debating new policies that Obama wants to shove down our throats.

One small problem: Steve Miller was going to be gone next month. He basically just ended his term a month sooner than he would have. The idea that Obama changed anything substantially at all is pure dishonesty on his part. Even then, almost everyone involved in the attacks on pro-liberty groups will not be fired.

Don’t Just Fire: Jail Them

The problem is that this isn’t just a firing offense. This is a “go to jail” offense. Someone illegally used the federal government’s powers to punish people in clear violation of their right to free speech, freedom of association, freedom of the press, and every other right protected by the 9th, 14th, and other amendments to the constitution.

The notion that Steve Miller was “punished” is absurd. It’s a lie to confuse you while they go right back to what they were doing — the laws be damned. This is corruption in its simplest form.

Please help us fight back by spreading this on Facebook and Twitter. People won’t support impeachment until they know the truth — and the media is trying to keep this a cover-up. Let’s blow the lid off of this.

IRS Sued for Stealing Medical Records of 10,000,000 People

jail

jailThe hits just keep on coming. Even while Obama is trying to put a lid on the three major scandals that have come out in the open recently, a new scandal shows exactly what happens when you have out-of-control thugs ruling over peaceful people: corruption.

The IRS is now being sued for stealing 60,000,000 medical records of 10,000,000 people. Remember, the IRS is the group that is set to enforce Obamacare. They also are openly admitting that they’ve targeted conservative and libertarian groups in the past. Feel comfortable  Me neither. They want you scared and intimidated.

Medical records were stolen that had nothing to do with a criminal, civil, or tax investigation. There was no warrant, no court order –just theft. This was illegal, and people need to go to jail. Not just fired — they must be punished.

Forbes explains what the theft was regarding:

“The medical records included information on psychological counseling, gynecological counseling, sexual and drug treatment, and other sensitive medical treatment data, the suit alleges. A copy of the legal complaint can be purchased here for $35… ‘This is an action involving the corruption and abuse of power by several Internal Revenue Service agents,’ the complaint reads.”

Was this part of a criminal investigation? Something to do with a civil investigation? Something to do with taxes? Absolutely not. Just pure theft.

Attorney Robert Barnes explains:

“No search warrant authorized the seizure of these records; no subpoena authorized the seizure of these records; none of the 10,000,000 Americans were under any kind of known criminal or civil investigation and their medical records had no relevance whatsoever to the IRS search.”

As a friend told me yesterday, “I no longer recognize my country.”

We’re not under attack from politicians. We’ve been fully conquered. It’s just that some people are just starting to wake up. What we do over the next decade will decide if we’ll ever get to experience actual liberty.

Please help us share and spread the word. Post this story on Facebook and Twitter, and help people see the fraud, corruption, and thuggery.

Report: IRS Reading Facebook Posts, Demanding Book Lists

obama confused

obama confusedTwo days ago, we discovered that the IRS was targeting people because of their political views — Tea Party and patriot groups. Yesterday, we learned that a news anchor for KMOV was being targeted by the IRS after daring to embarrass Obama with pointed questions. This led Jon Stewart to even turn on Obama.

Then we found out that the leadership in DC knew exactly what was happening. Mitt Romney had personal files released and was attacked over them. Conservative groups had their tax paperwork released to liberal groups. Everything that happened was illegal, unconstitutional, and should lead to people going to prison. The response by Obama? More cover up.

But now, the details are even getting more clear and reveal an even worse attack that was originally believed. ACC posted earlier that Politico has revealed that the IRS has demanded print-outs of Facebook statuses, lists of books that people have read, and have questioned people about their connection with Tea Party groups. It’s nothing more than illegal and unconstitutional intimidation, discrimination, and aggressive attempts at censorship.

As Politico reports:

But interviews with members of the groups paint a more dramatic picture than the bland language of the report, which just says the IRS “requested irrelevant (unnecessary) information because of a lack of managerial review, at all levels, of questions before they were sent to organizations seeking tax-exempt status.”

“They were asking for a U-Haul truck’s worth of information,” said Toby Marie Walker, the president of the Waco Tea Party. Some groups even gave up in the face of the IRS questions.

Several of the groups were asked for résumés of top officers and descriptions of interviews with the media. One group was asked to provide “minutes of all board meetings since your creation.”

Some of the letters asked for copies of the groups’ Web pages, blog posts and social media postings — making some tea party members worry they’d be punished for their tweets or Facebook comments by their followers.

In the end, someone has to be jailed for this. This isn’t just a slip up. This is an attack on the very idea of freedom of speech, press, association, and is nothing more than a government attack on freedom itself. Someone must be jailed — someone must be held accountable.

IRS Scandal Spreads: Officials in Washington Were Involved

obama

obamaMany people are coming forward with scandal after scandal for the Obama administration, apparently explaining that the Obama administration has been involved in a series of cover ups. The latest cover up is an attempt to explain why the IRS targeted constitution and Tea-Party groups with the IRS.

The official story by the IRS is that it was just a local issue, and that it wasn’t politically motivated. Now we know this is simply ludicrous, as lawyers, activists, and even some IRS officials have come forward with the truth.

What is the truth? Washington knew about the targeting  and was even helping review man of the applications. In other words, the notion that this was just a local issue is patently false, and DC was in on it. The leadership of the IRS should be completely replaced and, ideally, the IRS should be abolished — it’s simply too powerful over peaceful people, and engages in systematic theft of citizens.

The Washington Post reports:

In one instance, however, Ron Bell, an IRS employee, informed a lawyer representing a conservative group focused on voter fraud that the application was under review in Washington. On several other occasions, IRS officials in Washington and California sent conservative groups detailed questionnaires about their voter outreach and other activities, according to the documents.

“For the IRS to say it was some low-level group in Cincinnati is simply false,” said Cleta Mitchell, a partner in the law firm Foley & Lardner who sought to communicate with IRS headquarters about the delay in granting tax-exempt status to True the Vote.

Now, the Justice Department is investigating the IRS scandal, along with three investigations by three committees in congress. The Associated Press reports via Yahoo News reports:

 The Justice Department is investigating the Internal Revenue Service for targeting tea party groups for extra scrutiny when they applied for tax exempt status, Attorney General Eric Holder said Tuesday, widening a probe that includes investigations by three committees in Congress.

In the end, this is just the tip of the iceberg. We’ll find out more, and I think we all know that this goes far higher up than whatever the IRS claimed at first. Obama is apparently used to lying about his scandals — and it’s only getting worse. In the end, this should be yet another example of justification for impeachment.

News Anchor: IRS Targeting Me for Questioning Obama

larryconnors

larryconnorsA news anchor has come out with evidence that he’s being targeted — or “hammered” to use his words — by the IRS. This started immediately after he publicly questioned Obama’s approach to the economy in an interview, which we’ve attached below. The corruption by the IRS and the Obama administration is so bad, liberal comedian Jon Stewart has even roasted Obama.

Larry Connors, from KMOV, posted on his Facebook page with the allegations. He thought it was a coincidence until realizing that the IRS has been targeting anyone who challenges the growth of tyranny in the US. His original interview that likely triggered the attack is below:

Video: Jon Stewart Destroys Obama on IRS Scandal

jon stewart

jon stewartThe IRS has targeted Tea Party groups with years worth of extra paperwork, discrimination, and other harassment — because of their political views. This is a violation of the constitution on multiple levels. The IRS response? They apologized. That’s right — apologized. The leader didn’t step down, nobody was charged with a crime, no money returned, no one was compensated for the lost time — just an apology.

In other words, when you lie to the IRS, you go to jail. When the IRS lies to us, they get away with an apology. It’s disgusting. Jon Stewart had a special segment on the topic, as you can see below:

Stewart is a liberal comedian who isn’t afraid to occasionally critique Obama — though he generally defends his policies. Still, the fact that the IRS scandal is so blatant it shows that it’s not even really controversial. It’s just criminal.

The government isn’t your friend. It’s trying to be your master. The only question is whether we keep putting up with it.

DOJ: We Can Read FB Messages/Emails Without a Warrant

constitution text

constitution textThe American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) recently obtained documents from the Department of Justice that demonstrate a serious erosion of the Federal Government’s guarantees of a citizen’s right to privacy, under the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution. The Constitution is a document designed not to limit citizens, but to limit the Federal government, and guarantees protection of individual rights.

Under a recent Freedom of Information Act request (FOIA), the ACLU discovered that the Justice Department has obtained legal opinions from attorneys that subpoenas alone can be used to force a third party, such as an email or cloud storage provider, to surrender files to the Department as part of investigations. The problem with this is that subpoenas are intended for use to compel an individual to testify.

For actual evidence, investigators are forbidden by the Fourth Amendment from going on “fishing expeditions” to look for something they can use. There is a clear requirement for a sworn oath or affirmation, for the express purpose of obtaining a warrant from a judge. Beyond that, the Constitution clearly specifies in the Fourth Amendment that the warrant must name the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

If the Department of Justice considers a subpoena sufficient to obtain files on the premise that they are compelling a suspect to testify, it might be useful for these lawyers to remember Day One of lawyer school, which frequently starts with one of the most important rights guaranteed protection under the Fifth Amendment. In that article of the Bill of Rights, the founding fathers of the United States forbid the Federal Government from compelling a person in any criminal case to be a witness against himself.

So, if a subpoena cannot be used to compel a person to incriminate himself (Fifth Amendment), and a warrant is required that describes specifically which person or thing is to be seized for evidence in an investigation (Fourth Amendment), many legal experts are of the opinion that the Department of Justice is leaving itself wide open for a major lawsuit. This is clearly a violation of the natural and civil rights of any person suspected of a crime within the United States of America.
