Where is our attorney general on this? I think the justice dept should be investigating this so called movement. We have 501c for a reason but I’m pretty sure it was not meant to provide a cover for fraud. Since this is being covertly funded and fraudulently presented as a grass roots movement against the constitution it may fit the definition of sedition. Lastly because many of the participants are in fact minors and they are in fact being duped into actions that children clearly don’t understand those behind this fake movement may be committing child endangerment and violating many other laws that are designed to protect minors from this type of abuse.
"The 501(d) status provides tax exemptions for religious and apostolic communities that share a common treasury. The IRS has failed to define religious/apostolic and thus the terms can be construed to mean any strongly held spiritual or secular belief.
The business that the community decides to partake is not taxable as long as all the proceeds are deposited into the designated common treasury and distributed. This includes all income whether produced through the community’s revenue source or by the individual.
The community’s business can have either a not for profit or a for profit purpose. The 501(d) exemption does not have any restrictions on political activity, unlike the 501(3)(c). In addition donations made to the community are not tax exempt."
I have also read that a 501d does not have to reveal the names of donors. My guess, it that is key in this case.
