Ramaswamy Vows To ‘Shut Down The Three-letter Agencies’

“My core platform is to get in there and shut down the administrative deep state” 

- - - Vivek Ramaswamy

EDITOR - The DeSantis campaign committed suicide. But Vivek is looking good. At least he is taking my line of ABOLISHING government agencies.

(Summit News)  Republican Presidential Candidate Vivek Ramaswamy vowed Sunday that if elected his priority will be to “clean house, shut down the FBI, refurbish the DOJ.”

“My core platform is to get in there and shut down the administrative deep state, the three-letter agencies, the regulatory state that is a threat to our constitutional republic, from the FBI, to the IRS, to the ATF, to the U.S. Department of Education,” Ramaswamy said during a Fox news interview.

He continued, “that is our ticket to not only restoring the integrity of our government, but also to stimulating the economy, because those three-letter agencies are actually the source of the unconstitutional federal regulations that act like a wet blanket on businesses both large and small in our economy.”

Ramaswamy added that “these things go hand in glove together to be able to both restore the integrity of our constitutional republic by getting rid of that fourth branch while also stimulating the economy in the process.”

GOP Supreme Court Abolishes The Bill of Rights

 

King George III Has Returned

The Bill of Rights is Abolished

.

The GOP run Supreme Court says you Peasants have no rights. The King's troops will do whatever the fuck they want.

In a unanimous decision, the US Supreme Court ruled last week that it’s legal for the IRS to secretly obtain the bank records of third parties who are not under investigation, when seeking a summons for banking records believed to be relevant to the tax delinquency of another person.

The new ruling gives the IRS “startlingly broad authority to pry into the financial records of people who may be only remotely connected to a delinquent taxpayer,” according to one lawyer briefed on the decision, the Epoch Times reports.

The ruling, a victory for the Biden administration, came after the administration’s attempts to strengthen IRS enforcement efforts became an issue in the midterm congressional elections. The Inflation Reduction Act, which President Joe Biden signed into law in August 2022, allocated almost $80 billion to the IRS to hire an extra 87,000 agents. Democrats say the IRS has long been underfunded, but Republicans say the extra money will be used to harass taxpayers.

At oral arguments on March 29 the justices had seemed sympathetic to the claim of the wife of a man who owed substantial taxes that the IRS went too far in pursuing her bank records without prior notice. At the same time, they acknowledged the agency needs effective tools to attempt to collect delinquent accounts. -Epoch Times

In the court’s May 18 opinion, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in Polselli v. IRS (court file 21-1599) sided with the Biden administration, which argued that the IRS does not need to provide notice to third parties, and that having to do so would give delinquent taxpayers “a head start in hiding assets.”

“Congress has given the IRS considerable power to go after unpaid taxes,” wrote Roberts.

IRS Deploys Armed Gestapo Agents

The GOP Funds The IRS Police State

Let's be blunt. 

GOP controlled Congress after GOP controlled Congress has refused to abolish the Marxist income tax - - - in fact Republicans have voted to increase the budget of the IRS for decades on ends.

Never listen to what the political liars say, only watch what they do - - - and the "Conservative" GOP has done exactly Jack Shit to abolish the IRS or even do a simple flat tax.

(Gateway Pundit)  A job listing on the IRS website revealed that the organization is still trying to hire armed, arrest-authorized “special agents” or criminal investigators in all 50 states.

“WE’RE HIRING SPECIAL AGENTS NOW!” states the IRS website in all caps.

“As a Special Agent you will combine your accounting skills with law enforcement skills to investigate financial crimes. Special Agents are duly sworn law enforcement officers who are trained to “follow the money.” No matter what the source, all income earned, both legal and illegal, has the potential of becoming involved in crimes which fall within the investigative jurisdiction of the IRS Criminal Investigation. Because of the expertise required to conduct these complex financial investigations, IRS Special Agents are considered the premier financial investigators for the Federal government,” according to the agency.

Below are the “Major Duties:”

• Adhere to the highest standards of conduct, especially in maintaining honesty and integrity.
• Work a minimum of 50 hours per week, which may include irregular hours, and be on-call 24/7, including holidays and weekends.
• Maintain a level of fitness necessary to effectively respond to life-threatening situations on the job.
• Be willing and able to participate in arrests, execution of search warrants, and other dangerous assignments.
• Carry a firearm; must be prepared to protect him/herself or others from physical attacks at any time and without warning and use firearms in life-threatening situations; must be willing to use force up to and including the use of deadly force.

The agency is hiring at least 360 armed agents in 249 locations around the country, according to the job posting.

IRS to Set Up ‘Centralized Office’ for 87,000 New Agents

A GOP Funded IRS Police State

.

Let's be blunt. 

GOP controlled Congress after GOP controlled Congress has refused to abolish the Marxist income tax - - - in fact Republicans have voted to increase the budget of the IRS for decades on ends.

Never listen to what the political liars say, only watch what they do - - - and the "Conservative" GOP has done exactly Jack Shit to abolish the IRS or even do a simple flat tax.

The Internal Revenue Service will establish a centralized office to implement elements of the tax and spending bill that President Joe Biden signed last week, including almost 87,000 new IRS agents, the agency’s chief says.

Democrats’ bill, which passed the Senate and House without a single Republican vote, provides $80 billion to the Internal Revenue Service, largely to pay for the 87,000 new agents through 2031. 

In an email message Friday to all IRS employees, a copy of which was obtained by The Daily Signal, IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig wrote: “This is a historic time for the IRS, and we are working to move quickly to begin work on the Inflation Reduction Act signed into law earlier this week.” 

Rettig wrote:

A key part of our efforts will be the creation of a new, centralized office for implementation of all IRS-related provisions. Building off our successes implementing other major legislative bills, the IRA 2022 Transformation & Implementation Office will work across the IRS and oversee our implementation efforts.

The bill that passed the House and Senate on party-line votes allocates $79.6 billion to expanding the IRS to boost revenue to pay for Democrats’ pet programs. 

Estimates show that 57.3% of the Treasury Department’s estimated 86,852 new IRS agents—or fewer than 50,000—would be assigned to tax enforcement.

Democrats Are "Coming After Middle-Class Hard-Working Americans" - Tulsi Gabbard Warns

Lieutenant Colonel Tulsi Gabbard

The Last Honest Democrat

Tulsi Gabbard unleashes a torrent of facts in what most on the left in Washington would call 'conspiracy theory' and 'hate speech' pointing out the fact that everything from the IRS to the Department of Homeland Security is "blatantly being weaponized to target political opponents of those in power and anyone who dares to dissent or question or challenge their actions and policies."

By way of example, Gabbard notes that with regard to the massive increase in the size of the IRS, the messaging from Democrats is 'this will only apply to to the wealthy'. Well, as Gabbard points out, "that's only 1-2% of all taxpayers, so why in the world do they need $80 billion and 87,000 new hires in order to go after 1-2% of taxpayers?"

Simply put, she explains, "their math absolutely does not add up," which she says "should be frightening and concerning" to all Americans, because "this means, they're coming after us - the entrepreneurs, small business owners, and the middle class hard-working Americans."

As Gabbard points out, "it's not a 'theory' that the IRS will abuse its power to go after political opponents, we have already seen them do it."

51% of all IRS audits last year were for those who earned less than $75,000.

Millions of stimulus checks sent to wrong bank accounts

 

(NY Post) - The Internal Revenue Service sent millions of Americans’ stimulus checks to the wrong bank accounts, tax preparers say — a mistake the feds are now trying to fix.

The agency “inadvertently sent payments to over 13 million bank accounts that are no longer open or valid,” forcing affected banks to return the money to the US Treasury, according to tax-preparation service Jackson Hewitt.

The estimate is the latest sign that the IRS’ rollout of the $600 coronavirus relief payments suffered from a large-scale glitch as the agency worked to distribute the money by Jan. 15.

The IRS said Friday that it’s working to get the misplaced funds into Americans’ correct bank accounts. That marks a shift from earlier this week, when officials indicated that unlucky taxpayers would have to claim the payments on their 2020 tax returns later this year.

Court orders IRS to fess up about seized properties

The American Police State

(WND)  -  A federal appeals court has ordered the Internal Revenue Service to provide information about the properties it seizes.

The ruling came in a lawsuit by the Institute for Justice seeking information about the IRS forfeiture program, including what properties it takes and what it does with them.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, unanimously siding with IJ, said the IRS cannot deliberately frustrate Freedom of Information Act requests by quibbling over immaterial technicalities.

"The court also ruled that the IRS must put the effort into determining which records are public, rather than applying blanket exemptions to whole swaths of data that may or may not be exempt from disclosure," IJ said.

"The lack of transparency surrounding forfeiture is deeply troubling, especially considering the vast power federal agencies have to take property from people without so much as charging them with a crime," said IJ Senior Research Analyst Jennifer McDonald. "The public ought to know how the IRS is using forfeiture."

Kentucky man battles against asset forfeiture laws

The case began in 2015 when IJ sought records from the IRS regarding its "Asset Forfeiture Tracking and Retrieval System."

First, the IRS tried to charge IJ more than $750,000 in fees for its requested information.

But IJ sued, and the agency reversed its decision and then claimed AFTRAK "is not actually a database and therefore cannot possibly contain records."

The agency then produced one standard forfeiture report that was 99% blacked out.

But at the 2nd Circuit, Senior Circuit Judge Williams scolded the agency for its tactics.

"A request certainly should not fail where the agency knew or should have known what the requestor was seeking all along," he found.

He said the IRS will have to turn over all the data the IRS possesses that falls within the request.

IRS targets people who spend their own money

We have become what we fought against

• The American Revolution for Liberty is dead and buried.
• The only "freedom" you have these days is the freedom to drop your pants, bend over and spread your cheeks for a good butt fucking by the Federal Government.
• Note that neither the "small government" GOP nor the "liberal" Democrats will say a fucking word to defend you. All both parties want is your money and the power to tell you what to do 24-7.

(Infowars)  -  A court in California ordered a cryptocurrency exchange to hand over the identities of thousands of users this week to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

Coinbase, one of the internet’s most popular sites for selling and buying digital currencies such as Bitcoin, must give the federal government the names, birthdates, addresses and account activity of 14,355 users.

Although the IRS originally attempted to obtain records for every user on Coinbase, the year-long court battle ended with users who bought, sold, sent or received more than $20,000 worth of cryptocurrency being targeted.

The IRS argued that despite those nearly 15,000 users dealing in large qualities of cryptocurrency, only “800 to 900 taxpayers a year have electronically filed returns” mentioning digital currencies between 2013 and 2015.

Coinbase Co-Founder and CEO Brian Armstrong pushed back against the federal government’s inquiry in January prior to the ruling.

“Asking for detailed transaction information on so many people, simply for using digital currency, is a violation of their privacy, and is not the best way for us to accomplish our mutual objective,” Armstrong wrote.

Following the ruling, Coinbase’s David Farmer stated the company was “proud to fight for our customers and in the result we were able to achieve as a small company against a large government agency.”

Coinbase has said it will inform any users prior to handing their information over to the IRS.

With Bitcoin surpassing $11,000 in value on Wednesday before sliding back down to $9,000, users of cryptocurrency are expecting the federal government to take a larger interest.

Although Federal Reserve Governor Randal Quarles warned of “serious financial stability issues” if cryptocurrencies “achieve wide-scale usage,” Bitcoin continues to grow in popularity – even among Wall Street circles.

Corrupt IRS now works with Mueller to get Trump

The Deep State is on the Move

• The Globalist Oligarchs are targeting our President with endless GOP held Russia hearings and the Democrat run "Special Counsel's" office.

(Washington Examiner)  -  Special counsel Robert Mueller has enlisted the help of the IRS criminal investigations unit for the FBI's Trump-Russia investigation.

The agents, whom the Daily Beast reports Mueller has great respect for, exclusively focus on financial crimes such as tax evasion and money laundering.

The IRS has access to Trump's tax returns, which he has refused to release to the public.

Mueller's investigation, which began in May, is looking into possible financial crimes committed during the 2016 election. 

His team has partnered with Democrat New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman as it investigates financial crimes Trump's former campaign chairman Paul Manafort may have committed.

Mueller's Russia probe is looking into a number of former campaign officials as the investigation looks at possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Judge orders IRS to reveal who took part in Tea Party targeting

No One Goes To Jail

• If an average Joe robs a liquor store the full weight of the all-powerful state comes down hard on his ass and off to jail he goes.
• But nothing happens if the Oligarch Elites illegally target political enemies, lie to the American people or commit loan fraud in the billions collapsing the economy.

(Fox News)  -  A federal judge has ordered the Internal Revenue Service to release the names of specific employees involved in targeting Tea Party groups, after years of litigation over what conservatives have long called “chilling” behavior by one of the government’s “most feared” agencies.

Judge Reggie B. Walton of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia also said the IRS must provide information about which groups were targeted and why, along with a strategy to make sure such targeting doesn't happen again. 

The IRS is involved in multiple lawsuits with conservative groups related to the Tea Party targeting scandal; this particular case involves True the Vote. 

“We’re thrilled the judge has taken this step and it feels good to have it recognized that they need to be held to account,” True the Vote President Catherine Engelbrecht told Fox News on Monday. “What happened to me was very personal—my name was thrown around the IRS, and the names of the people involved need to be known. What they did was criminal.”

The targeting scandal drew much attention in 2013 when the IRS, headed at the time by Lois Lerner, admitted it was applying extra scrutiny to conservative groups applying for nonprofit status.

IRS re-hires corrupt agents

The Swamp is Winning

No one gives a flying crap about the American people

(World Net Daily)  -  More than 200 IRS personnel who were fired for unethical and even criminal actions in connection with the targeting of conservatives are now back on the job, according to an inspector general’s report.

According to the Office of Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, 213 people were rehired by the IRS despite a checkered history with the agency.

Those allowed back in between January 2015 and March 2016 include four people who were fired or resigned for failure to properly file their own income taxes. Four had been axed for improperly accessing taxpayer information, 86 others left while being probed for questionable leave, disrupting the workplace or failing to follow instructions, and 27 failed to disclose a conviction or being fired on their applications.

The inspector general’s report shows the audit was requested by an unnamed U.S. senator who was concerned about lax hiring practices at the IRS. The report concludes there was reason to be concerned.

“The IRS has not effectively updated or implemented hiring policies to fully consider past IRS conduct and performance issues prior to making a tentative decision to hire former employees, including those who were terminated or separated during an investigation of a substantiated conduct or performance issue,” said the report.

Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, is a fierce critic of the IRS. He told WND and Radio America it’s pretty easy to distill this story.

“You could simplify all that and say they rehired 200-some people who were cheating, lying, and snooping on the American taxpayer. That’s what they were doing and, ‘Oh, we’re going to rehire them now and let them work in the Internal Revenue Service,'” Jordan said.

“You can’t make this stuff up, can you? Just when you think you’ve heard it all about the IRS, they go and rehire people who have had this kind of background,” he said. “It is truly unbelievable.”

GOP to hold "pretend" impeachment hearings

Remember this smirking prick?

Yet Another GOP Fuck Up

• You might as well have Nancy Pelosi in charge of Congress. The GOP "leadership" is a steaming pile of lying crap.
• The House could have held IRS impeachment hearings long, long ago. But I think the Establishment GOP had no problem with Comrade Obama's IRS targeting that pesky Tea Party. After all, "crazy" Constitutionalists only cause trouble for the corrupt Elites of both parties.
• Now the GOP will hold "pretend" impeachment hearings that will go nowhere.

(Washington Times)  -  House Republicans on Friday announced hearings to investigate whether IRS Commissioner John Koskinen misled Congress and violated a subpoena, taking the first steps that could ultimately lead to his impeachment over the tax agency’s tea party targeting.

Impeachment is still very unlikely, particularly given the short amount of work days left in this Congress and in the Obama administration’s tenure overall.

But conservatives are intent on exploring Mr. Koskinen’s actions after the IRS was ordered to preserve and turn over documents related to targeting of tea party groups — and particularly emails from former senior executive Lois G. Lerner.

Mr. Koskinen’s accusers say he failed to comply with a congressional subpoena on those documents, and instead he allowed backup tapes of the emails to be destroyed.

He also said his agency was unable to find the backups of some of Mrs. Lerner’s emails — but the IRS’s own internal auditor was able to discover thousands of them with little effort. The internal auditor concluded that the agency erased 422 backup tapes that should have been protected by the subpoena.

GOP gives IRS the power to take your passport

The "small government" GOP in action

• The Big Government loving GOP wants to give the IRS the brand new power to yank your passport without any court order or hearing before a judge.
• I will be long dead in my grave before I see the flat income tax enacted by the big government loving Republican Party.  Both the GOP and the Dems want the income tax in order to extort campaign cash from groups in society.

By Congressman Ron Paul

A little-noticed provision in the highway funding bill Congress passed this week threatens a right most Americans take for granted: the right to travel abroad. The provision in question gives the Internal Revenue Service the authority to revoke the passport of anyone the IRS claims owes more than $50,000 in back taxes.

Congress is giving the IRS this new power because a decline in gas tax receipts has bankrupted the federal highway trust fund. Of course, Congress would rather squeeze more money from the American people than reduce spending, repeal costly regulations, or return responsibility for highway construction to the states, local governments, and the private sector. On the other hand, most in Congress fear the political consequences of raising gas, or other, taxes. Giving the IRS new powers allows politicians to increase government revenue without having to increase tax rates. Some even brag about how they are “cracking down on tax cheats.”

Pro-IRS politicians ignore how this new power will punish Americans who have actually paid all the taxes they are legally obligated to pay. This is because the provision does not provide taxpayers an opportunity to challenge a finding that they owe back taxes in federal court before their passport is revoked. Because IRS employees are not infallible, it is inevitable that many Americans will lose their right to travel because of a bureaucrat’s mistake.

It is particularly odd that a Republican Congress would give this type of power to the IRS considering the continuing outrage over IRS targeting of “Tea Party” organizations. This is hardly the first time the IRS has been used to intimidate its opponents and/or powerful politicians. Presidents of both parties have used the IRS to target political enemies.

Clinton Foundation Failed to Report $20M in Donations from Governments

(Hope n change cartoons)

"Corruptus in Extremis"

(Washington Free Beacon)  -  The Clinton Foundation failed to report $20 million in donations from governments to the Internal Revenue Service, newly refiled tax returns show.

Reuters reported that the foundation disclosed the $20 million it received from governments, most of them foreign, between 2010 and 2013 when it and a spin-off organization refiled tax returns from six years to fix errors.

The Bill, Hillary, & Chelsea Clinton Foundation did not previously separate out its donations from governments on old tax returns as is mandated by the IRS.

The foundation refiled tax returns from 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 and a charity spun off from the foundation, the Clinton Health Access Initiative, refiled its own returns from 2012 and 2013 after both were found to have made errors reporting funds from foreign governments. 

The revelations about inaccuracies came just as Hillary Clinton, a Democratic candidate for president, endured scrutiny for the millions of dollars that her family foundation has received from foreign governments.

Earlier this month, the initiative backtracked from an earlier promise to refile its returns to correct the errors, which were made when the charity failed to comply with a conflict-of-interest pledge in place when Hillary Clinton was secretary of state. When Republicans called for the IRS to audit the spin-off charity, the initiative quickly agreed to submit its corrected tax forms.

GOP funds IRS spying on your cellphone

The GOP is Creating Big Brother

• This 1984 bullshit is why I have not called myself a Republican since 2003.  I am a Constitutional Federalist first and forever.  
• For years the "small government" GOP Congress has been fully funding every possible system to spy on the American people.

(The Guardian)  -  The Internal Revenue Service is the latest in a growing list of US federal agencies known to have possessed the sophisticated cellphone dragnet equipment known as Stingray, according to documents obtained by the Guardian.

Invoices obtained following a request under the Freedom of Information Act show purchases made in 2009 and 2012 by the federal tax agency with Harris Corporation, one of a number of companies that manufacture the devices. Privacy advocates said the revelation “shows the wide proliferation of this very invasive surveillance technology”.

The 2009 IRS/Harris Corp invoice is mostly redacted under section B(4) of the Freedom of Information Act, which is intended to protect trade secrets and privileged information. However, an invoice from 2012, which is also partially redacted, reports that the agency spent $65,652 on upgrading a Stingray II to a HailStorm, a more powerful version of the same device, as well as $6,000 on training from Harris Corporation.

Stingrays are the best-known example of a type of device called an IMSI-catcher, also known as “cell-site simulators”. About the size of a briefcase, they work by pretending to be cellphone towers in order to strip metadata and in some cases even content from phones which connect to them.

Immense secrecy has so far surrounded these devices, but a picture is slowly emerging which shows widespread use. Various revelations by the American Civil Liberties Union and news outlets including the Guardian had shown that at least 12 federal agencies are already known to have these devices, including the National Security Agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The IRS makes 13.

In November 2014, the Wall Street Journal uncovered an operation run by the US Marshals Service using a Boeing-made IMSI-catcher known as “dirtbox”. This is the first time that the IRS has been found to own the device.

The devices are also used by local and in some cases state police departments, across at least 20 states, though a culture of secrecy which surrounds Stingray devices has meant that the full scale of their use remains unknown.

A Guardian report in April revealed a non-disclosure agreement that local police and prosecutors were forced to sign with the FBI before using Stingrays, which mandated them to withdraw or even drop cases rather than risk revealing their use, and in September it emerged that this withholding of “discovery” evidence by police in Baltimore could lead to as many as 2,000 cases being overturned.

It remains unclear how the IRS used the Stingray devices. A spokesman for the agency did not respond to a request for comment.

Nate Wessler, a staff attorney with the speech, privacy and technology project at the ACLU, told the Guardian: “The info showing that they are using Stingrays is generally consistent with the kinds of investigative tactics that they are engaging in, and it shows the wide proliferation of this very invasive surveillance technology.”

“It’s used by dozens, perhaps hundreds, of local law enforcement, used by the usual suspects at the federal level, and if the IRS is using it, it shows just how far these devices have spread,” Wessler said.
