Robert De Niro Hit with $6.4 Million Tax Bill
Forbes.com ^ | 2/27/2015 | Robert W. Wood

Posted on 02/28/2015 6:04:34 AM PST by rfreedom4u

Robert De Niro owed $6.4 million to the IRS for his 2013 tax return, but it appears he just learned of it. The Oscar winner's tax debt surfaced in documents first uncovered by the Smoking Gun. Mr. De Niro has an estimated worth of over $200 million, and is reputed to spend $125,000 a month on his rental on Central Park West. In that sense, this tax bill doesn't seem so large. But it was unpaid, as the notice to New York City’s Department of Finance revealed. That is what an IRS lien filing is all about. But right away, Mr. De Niro took action. In fact, his spokesman Stan Rosenfeld said the problem occurred because the IRS delinquency notices had been sent to an old address. As soon as the actor learned of the tax lien, he had a check for the full amount hand delivered to the IRS.

I loved Midnight Run. That was a great movie.

That’s the requirement to get work in nwo’s “hollyweird” and “stage” acting.

You know, gotta be able to “take risks” as an actor. (??????)

Oh, translation for normal sheeple: gotta be a flake who yearns to whore themselves, a pliable puppet stooge for your elite masters that you don’t understand even though you think you do based on what they tell you.

If you actually look at movies with a reasonable eye, you’ll the acting is so fake it’s ridiculous.

It’s extremely rare to see anything that vaguely resembles a truthful conversation.

It’s because it’s all founded on the “method” acting school.

This quackery is that they try to use past events in their own life - think about them - while playing a scene where they want the reponse based on their prior emotions/thoughts.

So, if you think about it - their “acting” is a straight up lie.

They’re supposed to, for example, be acting out being sad about rejection from their lover, and in their mind they’re remembering when they were a kid and they stubbed their toe and mommy wasn’t there for them to make it better.

You can see/hear in their acting that they are not connected with the situation IN THE SCENE.

What method acting really does is make the actor lie in order to get a part, which sets the foundation for making them controllable. Add in the idea of “taking risks”, i.e., doing nude scenes and humiliating yourself, and you’ve got an “actor” who internally feels guilt and shame after they have success. Now that actor can be manipulated, because they desperately want to maintain their glamorous lifestyle and fan “adoration” (even if it’s just based on contrived heavy marketing) - and they know that everyone knows their career is a sham.

Most people could act good enough to make the movies that are made.

In “The Best Years of Our Lives”, the navy sailor who had lost his hands was actually a WWII veteran and had zero acting experience.

His acting was arguably the most authentic of the whole cast.

Hollyweird VERY rarely permits such things; that was a time when they did not foresee that it would lead to problems with the “scam” of Hollyweird acting getting made public.

“I wonder how many people have committed felonies not knowing that they did???”

Pretty much everyone I think. One writer has estimated that every American, on average, commits three felony violations of federal law every day, that does not account for state and local laws. I told my father long ago that if every one of us could be caught, prosecuted and sentenced EVERY TIME we break a law there would be no one left outside the jail. He seemed to think I was exaggerating but I don’t really think so.

This story is supremely planted.

The Forbes article on yahoo.com says:

“The Oscar winner’s tax debt surfaced in documents first uncovered by the Smoking Gun.”

The Forbes story is dated February 27, 2015.

It links to the site:

The smoking gun story is dated February 26, 2015.

“thesmokinggun.com” is run by two ex-reporters of the Village Voice.

According to the smoking gun story, excerpted here:

“The dunning of De Niro was discovered by some intrepid researchers whose business involves the review of mountains of federal tax liens (and who plan on posting the notable ones at FamousTaxLiens.com). (2 pages)”

Not to mention that the sheeple don’t “get”...

that this article is aimed at middle-aged men who stronly identify with DeNiro...

It’s a promotional piece (propaganda)

which in effect is designed to make the middle-aged guy think:

hey, even DeNiro has to pay taxes. Look at the millions he pays. I can’t complain about my tax bill - everybody has to pay. Ok, I’ll go with the flow, as long as a guy like DeNiro is paying without complaining, I guess that’s the right attitude for me to have.

The timing of the article release is in the middle of tax season.

Nothing to worry about. His friend Tommy DeVito will take care of everything right after he becomes a made guy.

It is well worth $125,000/mo to live in Manhattan by Central Park. If I could afford it, I would do it too. There is no better place on earth to live then right in the middle of Manhattan, with huge parks that you can get lost in, world-class restaurants and nightlife galore.

He’s not an actor. He just plays himself in every role.

...

The best and most successful actors usually do. John Wayne would be in that group.

De Niro is a left wing liberal.

That goes without saying in Hollywood. Nobody really takes his politics that seriously. And he does have a sense of humor:

These movies, all of them, are like my children, except that my children are more expensive and you can't remake them in 3D to push up the grosses. You do the best you can with your children, you do the best you can making movies and at a certain point you have to let both of them go and hope for the best. It's up to the audiences to decide if it's entertainment, the critics to decide if it's good, and ultimately posterity to decide if it's art. And for the children you just hope the movies do well enough so you can keep them in private schools.

.....................................................

Well, if you look at the characters he played in Cape Fear, Awakenings, and Midnight Run, he must be one very confused man.

Not to mention Brazil and The King of Comedy.

The financial elite establishment (our real rulers) is behind it, ultimately.

Things like this go on continually.

The elite establishment controls (around the world) espionage and media (and has for centuries).

Of course they use them to keep the sheeple in their velvet chains.

This illustrates how the minions of the elites mold public opinion. So politically we can infer that public opinion is also molded in election seasons, of course, for both parties, so the winners of both parties’ primaries will be acceptable to the elites, even if they prefer one to the other. No one who is a real problem to the elites lasts long in politics. Of course, politicians can spout off as much as they want in pretending to be “far left” or “far right”, because the final bills that are passed into law will be true to the elites’ original intent when they had their minions create the initial draft of the bill.
