THE IRS SCANDAL IS MUCH WORSE THAN ANYONE REALIZES
The Blaze ^ | 05/31/2013 | Wayne Allyn Root

Posted on 06/07/2013 9:11:22 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

I lived through a nightmare but am here to talk about it. I was one of those victims of the IRS scandal. As an outspoken critic of President Obama and his socialist anti-business agenda, the IRS targeted me for intimidation and persecution–not once, but twice. The first IRS attack started in January of 2011. After I won a victory in tax court in the summer of 2012, I was audited again 5 days later. FIVE DAYS. Tax experts have never heard of this happening- EVER.

But my nightmare is over. Just yesterday, I won again. My tax attorney just received official notice that my second audit is closed and I owe nothing…nada…zero. Again.

That might make me the cleanest taxpayer in America. I’ve now survived four years of IRS attacks under Obama and come out with a perfect record. After four years of IRS agents looking at every line of my returns…scouring my life to try to find something, anything…the IRS agrees that I don’t owe one cent.

I doubt there is one leftist talk show host in America who could survive four years of IRS audits and come out owing not one cent. Or in honor of Obama, not one red cent.

So my case is closed. I am living proof this was a witch-hunt against conservatives and Obama critics.

If IRS agents looked at every line of four years of my returns and found nothing out of place–not one cent owed–don’t you think that’s pretty strong evidence that this taxpayer should never have been audited in the first place? Don‘t you agree that the second audit…five days after winning a victory in tax court…was targeted malicious persecution? It should never happen again. No American should know the pain of being audited five days after winning the first audit.

But you’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg of this IRS scandal. This is the Titanic of scandals. Attorney General Eric Holder should have been head of the IRS. They deserve each other. Obama’s henchmen are all cut from the same cloth- bullies. Intimidators. Mob enforcers. They are “made men” for the Obama Crime Family. They bug your phones, read your emails, try to silence critics, try to bankrupt the opposition, name reporters as criminals for simply doing their jobs, ask taxpayers what kind of prayers they believe in. Heck, they even use the IRS to go after groups that dare to believe in the U.S. Constitution. You couldn’t make this stuff up.

Here’s the REAL crux of the Obama IRS scandal. This was never a few rogue agents from one office (in Cincinnati) going after Tea Party groups. I was the first individual to break this scandal- right here at TheBlaze. I was the first to have the courage to go public with my fears- even while under IRS attack at the time.

I knew back in the summer of 2012 that this IRS scandal went deep and went straight to the Obama White House. I knew that it involved a purposeful coordinated effort to punish, intimidate and silence individual critics of Obama, and GOP donors. Do you still think IRS agents acted alone? Even though we just found out that the head of the IRS visited the President more than 150 times in his first term- far more than any cabinet member.

How did I know this was a coordinated attack on conservative critics and donors? Because just in my small inner circle of friends, virtually every businessman that I met was getting hit with IRS audit notices only weeks after writing checks to the GOP and Mitt Romney. Strange coincidence, huh?

In one case, a friend of mine who is a hedge fund CEO attended the first major Wall Street fundraiser for Mitt Romney. Only a select few Wall Street big shots attended. After they went home, almost every one of them in the room that wrote a check to Romney later reported receiving IRS audit notices.

In another case, a friend of mine wrote a big check to Romney. He called me to report his suspicions when only weeks later he received an IRS notice. In another case, my next-door neighbor (who is a big GOP donor) reported being under vicious IRS attack. In another case, my accountant was suddenly audited only months after my first IRS attack. Even my publicist received an IRS audit notice.

Are you starting to see a pattern? Are you getting the picture? This is no coincidence. If you believe it is, I’ve got a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn. This is mafia-style intimidation. This is an attempt to make Obama’s opponents “sleep with the fishes.” And it should be met with prison terms and RICO statutes.

This IRS scandal was aimed at Jewish Pro Israel groups, beloved Christian ministers and men of God (Billy Graham, Franklin Graham, James Dobson), groups that believe in the U.S. Constitution, and even groups that help wounded veterans. Why is no one calling out this pure blatant religious profiling?

After my commentaries were published a month ago about this IRS scandal, I was contacted by a Mormon who told me that everyone in his circle of friends and neighbors had received audit notices since Obama’s re-election. He believed Mormons were being targeted to punish Mitt Romney’s biggest supporters.

But how could the IRS identify Mormons? He educated me that all Mormons tithe 10% of their income to the Church of Latter Day Saints. That charitable donation is clearly visible on every Mormon’s tax return. It’s actually easy for the IRS to target and persecute Mormons.

Knowing that the IRS under Obama came after famous Christian leaders and Jewish Pro Israel groups…do you doubt this persecution of Mormons could be possible?

What better way to target conservatives. Utah is the most Republican state in America. Almost every Mormon in Utah supported Romney. Why wouldn’t the same IRS that chose to go after conservatives like me, and Tea Parties, and Jewish Pro Israel groups, go after individual Mormons to gain revenge?

If this is true, it’s the biggest scandal in political history. It’s time for major investigations. It’s time to put people in prison. It’s time to start talking about Impeachment.

It’s much worse because nothing’s going to follow. Nothing, nada! That’s how our political system is organized. For stability, against change and reform. The End of History, remember?

Maybe this is why, in Bible Prophecy, America seems to be unmentioned as a power in the final fight.

Well... they don't just allow anyone into those hearings. One must be invited.

There may come a point where those with the financial resources may decide instead of writing checks to a candidate to affect peaceful change (and subsequently be subjected to threats, intimidation, or action under 'color of authority') begin handing cash and/or goods to those who affect change "another way". IMHO, one side (Side X) seems to be doing things the "other way" already. I think that Side X is afraid that their enemies might begin to adopt the same attitude and tactics.
I was given sage advice a long time ago to never piss off a good man (person, in PC terms). Said good man has a clean record, but once set on a course, will do every thing possible, including risk to their own life and limb, to annihilate the bully/corruptocrat/shadow dweller. For the Rio Linda folks, it is similar to the galvanization of the U.S. in light of Pearl Harbor.

The IRS has been targeting Mormons and their church since the mid 70's. It didn't start with Mitt Romney. Out west during the 70's there were significant groups of Tax "Protestors", whom the IRS dubbed ILLEGAL Tax Protestors, (can't use that term with our undocumented immigrants, but for constitutional kooks it's required). Many of these protestors were members of the LDS Church, and the brilliant minds in IRS management concluded the Church itself had to be behind this movement. Largely because the LDS Church reveres the constitution, but your average IRS bureaucrat mocks and disdains it.

As a consequence, they designed policies to subject members of the LDS Church to a different set of rules if they were behind on their taxes. Mormons weren't allowed to make their tithing payments in preference to payments on their back taxes, but members of other churches were allowed to continue their donations. Even the display of symbols of the constitution like the Liberty Bell or the Founding Fathers became the focus and reason for extra scrutiny.

All the abuse in the IRS didn't start with Zero, and it will only end when the IRS ends. The "We can do anything we want" attitude is firmly entrenched in the IRS culture.

that is certainly a theory that has been around a while... I heard it first in the late 70’s... Hal Lindsey.

May be most true. It’ll be over my dead body, though.

I think America is in Bible scripture.
The land divided by many rivers...land of the clean shaven.

I’ll try to find the scripture where this is mentioned.

What other country has “In God We Trust” on their money?

America has been blessed by our Lord...(and I DON’T mean by our overlord.)

Let me get this straight.

We are talking about PROPH-A- CEE inspired by God. The whole idea of prophecy is that UNKNOWN things of the future, being made known. And so, your position is that America isn't mentioned, because the human writers didn't know of America? So in essence what you are saying, is that if the human writers had known of America, surely they would have wrote about it.

That makes about as much sense as somebody writing an autobiography on Abraham Lincoln, mentioning you, because they knew you. Or the fact no autobiography's of Lincoln mention you, simply because the authors didn't know you.

It has nothing to do with the subject matter, just whether the author knows of something or not.

I guess to take this even farther, YOU aren't mentioned in Bible prophecy (unless of course you're the antichrist or false prophet) simply because the authors didn't know you. Had they known you, surely they would have included you in it.

There is one common element from the first book of the Bible to the last, and its the most important element.

ISRAEL

And her people.
Gods people...
And how he has made a covenant with them. In the end, prophecy is the telling of the story of God protecting and RESTORING Israel and HIS people. Its a story that happens in the future, but is as real as anything that has already happened in the past.

Any other country listed in prohecy is just a bit character. AND NONE are listed as being on Gods side.

They have politicized the bureaucrats and have declared war on the American People.

IRS
EPA
ATF
FBI
OSHA
US Fish and Wildlife
BLM
ICE

All these agencies have been used as instruments to attack the political opponents of Barack Obama. This abuse is at a level that has never been done before by any administration in history. Without a free press to challenge Obama - he is turning the nation into a totalitarian state. He has grown more arrogant while the so-called journalists have decided to become cheerleaders instead of following their profession. In essence everything and everyone have whored their professions and positions to become political operatives for Barack Obama. Soldiers, spies, reporters, lawyers, IRS agents, state government clerks, scientists, etc., have all used their power, in a Manchurian candidate fashion, to further the Obama agenda and destroy his opponents as best they can. They lie on TV, they abuse the public trust, they steal information from the government jobs, they violate their oaths - all with an arrogance and an impunity that comes from the knowledge that the press will always support them.

I think in the end, it all comes down to this:

1. Illegal acquisition and disclosure of confidential tax information on Conservative 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) groups.
2. Using IRS enforcement powers to harass Conservative political groups--possible violations of RICO statutes.
3. Affecting the outcome of the election because Conservative political action committees were being harassed by the IRS--possible Federal election law violations.

Who do I blame for this debacle? I point to the following people:

Preiident Barack Obama
White House Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett
Former White House Senior Advisor David Axelrod
Former Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner
Former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.

Just the violations of tax information acquisition and disclosure could get all five of the persons I mentioned possibly directly sued for monetary damages in addition to possible Federal felony charges.

Just because we HAVE BEEN blessed, does not mean that blessing will continue.

Babylon took Israel into captivity for many years. During that time it could be said that Babylon was being blessed and that Israel wasn't.

In the end though, Babylon was destroyed and Israel remained.

The Bible is the story of Israel and Gods covenant with Israel and ONLY Israel.

Gentile believers are grafted into Israel. Gods covenant applies to us, but not to our nation. Only ISRAEL is Gods covenant with, as people individually, as people as a nation, and as a land.
