In September of 2011, 60 million health records involving 10 million Americans were illegally confiscated by members of the IRS. The theft took place at an unidentified place of business in California.
Referring to itself as the John Doe Company in a lawsuit filed last week against the 15 IRS agents who took part, plaintiffs claim that “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.” (1)

Our “conservative” House holds the purse strings over this bastard, but will not constrain him in any way.
What should we do about it? I’m out of answers.
No surprise here. This is only going to grow and grow as big brother turns into its One World Government of which the USA will be in one of 10 regions controlled by the antichrist. Its coming. Whether you believe it or not or whatever one might think. It is coming. The Book says so.

Doc’s are facing penalties for patient info stolen/lost/misplaced from their computers to the tune of:
$1.5 MILLION in penalties for “Individual did not know or would not have known” that they even committed an offense
$1.5 million and $50k per offense for “ willful cause but not due to willful neglect”
Physicians were extorted to go digital and now we are penalized for going digital.

Dear Mr. IRS thug,
Your threat is empty, since you appear to be physically incapable of ripping a laptop off of desk.
However, if you persist in your threat to remove our servers, you will find them void of data, since transferred to an undisclosed location.
If you would like to provide specific, legal documentation, for specific information, we will take the request under consideration, consistent with legal advice.
If this office receives further physical or personal threats, they will be addressed with the appropriate, legal force.
If you’re still confused, refer to the U.S. Constitution.
