IRS Admits, Apologizes For Targeting Conservatives During 2012 Election
Update: you can't make this up
The senior IRS official briefing the press just said: "I'm not good at math."

In her defense, the IRS official, explained: "I'm a lawyer."

Just because you are a conservative and paranoid, doesn't mean the IRS is not after you. And, assuming the AP was not hacked again, this is precisely what happened. In a stunning disclosure, the supposedly impartial Internal Revenue Service has admitted and apologized for flagging and subjecting to extra reviews, conservative political groups - those that included the words "tea party" or "patriot" - during the 2012 election to see if they were violating their tax-exempt status. No such privilege was apparently afforded to groups identifying themselves as "liberal."
The Internal Revenue Service is apologizing for inappropriately flagging conservative political groups for additional reviews during the 2012 election to see if they were violating their tax-exempt status.
Lois Lerner, who heads the IRS unit that oversees tax-exempt groups, said organizations that included the words "tea party" or "patriot" in their applications for tax-exempt status were singled out for additional reviews.
Lerner said the practice, initiated by low-level workers in Cincinnati, was wrong and she apologized while speaking at a conference in Washington.
Many conservative groups complained during the election that they were being harassed by the IRS. They said the agency asked them an inordinate number of questions to justify their tax-exempt status.
Certain tax-exempt charitable groups can conduct political activities but it cannot be their primary activity.
It does make one wonder, just how far the IRS goes to make the lives of conservatives a living hell: will all 2012 tax audits be those who on their facebook profile admit to liking Ron Paul? And just how far does the IRS invade personal privacy to determine how any one tax filer is indeed, a "conservative?" But don't worry - aside from the obvious persecutions, America is a free country for one and all.
One wonders: how long until "conservatives" engage in "tax-avoiding" blowback and really give the IRS reason to persecute them. Alternatively, one wonders the IRS is simply limited by logistical considerations, due to the notional difference in number of actual tax filings submitted by "conservatives" vs "liberals" and the prepondrance of one group over the other...

shocking.
Easy way to avoid audits - get an Obamaphone and a SNAP card
I'm going to legally change my name to "Tea Party Patriot Phu" just to ensure that I piss off the IRS each and every year.
Another reason to flee the plantation!
ZH audited in 3...2...1...
The IRS was deliberately set up to act as a blunt instrument of the (presently elected and/or self proclaimed) ruling class. Don't think for a moment that every administration in power for decades, either Demo or Repub, has not used the IRS and various other real and quasi governmental agencies to serve their own purposes.
There is only one purpose for power. That purpose is to use it....preferably against "your" enemies real and imagined.
Simply more of an argument for "Fair Tax" to be passed and the elimination of the IRS.
Or, your check goes directly to them and they then dole out what you "deserve".
Cue the "Dead Giveaway" theme song

Oh, they 'apologized' so everything is OK. We need repeal the 16th amendment and abolish this group of thugs.
Mr Cog is correct. The IRS is not part of your government, but a tool of the International Bankers and Masons. You want proof, take a look at this:

Tricky Dick Nixon Admin Part Deux.
Tricky Dick's got NOTHING on this guy.
Hasn't SC[R]OTUS already ruled that the 16A granted no new powers of taxation to The CONgress?
I didn't know David Axelrod was demoted to a "low-level [IRS] worker in Cincinnati"... Some downgrade, eh?
It's always some low level flack who does this stuff.
And the part about the flack looking for a big promotion as a reward is always left out of the story.
+ 1
Yes, plausible denial, the oldest trick in the IRS playbook.
“Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you”
? Joseph Heller, Catch-22
They apologize? Where I come from an apology comes with two other things attached to it:
1. Saying you won't do it again (even if you know you will, which they will)
2. Hand the people who were wrongly targeted their money back. No, no, no- we could never do that, could we?
Might I add:
3. Suck on a Liberator.
pods
Simply more reason for repealing the 16th amendment which was never legally ratified in the first place.
That is the truly fair tax plan. Thought experiment: If you didn't have to pay income taxes in dollars, would you continue to use them?
I guess that's why I would like a percentage of my 401k in the precious. A little birdy told me that they can't tax what they are unable to track. Of course, there will never be an underground economy arise from political policy.......... Who would have thunk it?

If the gov is criminal and treasonous and "tax" is synonymous with theft then please define "fair tax" for me.
Seems that it would be a creature that is associated with unicorns?! hujel
Why just an apology? Where is the announcement of heads rolling?
It was just a few low level "rogue" examiners. Plausible deniability bitches.
"Lerner said the practice, initiated by low-level workers in Cincinnati, was wrong and she apologized while speaking at a conference in Washington."
It's always "That friggin guy in the mailroom went rogue."
Right on.
The IRS and every single one of the state tax agencies operates in the same manner. None of them fairly enforce the law. And the handing out of exemptions, even at the city and county level, as well as, of course, the state and federal level is just one big under-the-table exchange and joke.
If you point out a major avoidance of state tax in my state, you cannot get the attention of any agency head, any state legislator, or any city council member. They only enforce the law on a matter when they get something in return. Otherwise, they could care less about the lawful and fair enforcement of tax laws, or any laws for that matter.
I think it is kind of funny that everybody is making a big story of this IRS disclosure of their wrongdoing. Doesn't everyone know that the disclosure was a politically calculated disclosure for who knows what political manipulation du jour? This is no slip-up or goof on any IRS person's part. This is more corrupt conduct by the IRS and their commissioner and other employees.
Maybe the powers that be want to deposit some political chits in the GOP purse for next time around joke presidential elections.
Sometimes the corruption reaches such a level that almost every story of this kind is just a curious joke.
You should hypenate the word -Al Something or -Mohammed in there somewhere too!
Same goes for your childrens vaccination waver, just write in you're muslim & you wont hear a fucking peep from anyone...
If it is a federal form, it would be a crime to make a knowingly false statement.
It's not false if you tell them it's true.
Well, whatever you do, just don't break any rules.
The very thought makes me all flushed and fluttery, fetch the smelling salts!
I junked ya for being that kind of a jerk-off.
GFY.
Johny Corzine called and laughed for an hour. Suck it Trebek!
Is that true? Got a link? Sounds like an ace strategy to me.
I am one of those Ron Paul supporters that got hammered. $52,000 in back taxes...$28,000 in penalties and fines. Nothing you can do either. They took my business and said it was a "Hobby" and nulified all deductions for years. Of course I proved to them that I had a business. They even came to my house to see all of the equipment. THey said "Nope". And my attorneys said it would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to fight them, and we would probably lose... This is real.
"Pay me now, pay me later, pay me always." - IRS drinking song
Responding to the thread starter, do you do your own taxes? If not, I'd say you need to have a little chat with your accountant... sounds like you got nailed on a simple hobby loss issue. And, not to take the wind from your sails, but this is something the IRS is really cracking down on, universally. You'll have to show income every few years to avoid this... you eat a small tax bill every so often (leaving deductions on the table) to ensure you don't get an anus fisting by the tax man.
Aside from the fact that... you've got a built in loser/hobby and, if you're normal, then you're probably keeping it around solely for its ability to "lose" you money. If you play with fire...
That absolutely sucks. Going after the political opposition reeks not just of corruption, but also of desperation. The ship seems to be sinking fast — might be time to leave while we still can.
Where are you going? I will go. I hear Newt Gingrich has a moon base. Seems the only logical place to go.
Growing up, I never thought I'd want to leave this country. I honestly don't know where to go, but stories like this make me want to live somewhere else.
I'm open to suggestions, but I fear a moon base may be the only option for avoiding all this creeping fascism.
got into a verbal scuffle with Ted kennedy staff years ago and was audited the next 5 years, love you liberals
Freedom isn't free!!!! Mc, we need you here to help in the fight to restore the Rule of Law, the foundation of our Republic. Besides, there's nowhere to go....
At some point, though, you have to start wondering if there's anything left that's worth saving. I don't have anything in common with most of the people around me except a few friends and some family, and a lot of people on here are probably in the same position. I'm beginning to think this country is like a terminal cancer patient, and no amount of fighting the disease can save it.
On the plus side, if enough people think like me, it's bullish for alcohol sales.
Right there with ya. Few friends, nothing in common with anyone, have a hard time wanting to serve a community that mostly opposes what I believe.
Have you guys considered joining like-minded people? The free state project seems like a good option. http://freestateproject.org/
Lol...
As bad as things might be getting, this is the ONLY place on the planet where the citizens still have the tools to change it should things get desperate enough. When people have nothing left to lose, they will then take action. Removing yourself to another locale to "save" yourself and your wealth only places you in a position where you're an outsider perceived to have wealth, and no means to defend yourself. Should the locals or the local authorities decide to take action against you, you will be at a grave disadvantage. Look to the British expats in Spain for an example.
Leviathan is worldwide, and I personally prefer to stay in a place where I'm at least a native familiar with the culture and have friends/relatives for support, speak the language, and still have the means to attempt to change things. People like Doug Casey and Simon Black are always touting removing to another locale, but always leave out the downside. Hoping for the charity of strangers and the forbearance of reptiles I suppose.
Yes, This!
Fight where you stand. Instead of running, save your breath for the Shit Fling Olympics.
I couldn't agree more. When the SHTF, McM, the best thing you can do is be a pillar of strength for the people you truly cherish. The Phoenix will rise from ashes and America will be a great country again. We're in the dependency stage of the cycle, which comes after apathy. The next is revolution. It will be simultaneously awful and beautiful. There will be a reset where the EBT/SNAP brigade, corporate welfare recipients, and the material-possession driven, totally unprepared middle class will be wiped out while people like us eat fresh veggies from our garden, drink clean water, hold real money, and defend our castles with the 2nd Amendment. You will light the way in your community with your wisdom and insight.
The facist corporate/government/bankster regime will eat itself. Just hold tight.
There will be a reset where the middle class will be wiped out and people like us rot in camps.
That's more like it.
Wont happen. There are too many resistors and many of them are in the various levels of government to make sure it wont happen.
Well said my friend. I wish there were more people like you in my neighborhood. The future is local.
"Growing up, I never thought I'd want to leave this country. I honestly don't know where to go..."
Denmark is ok if you are a prime minister, if not - not so much..how do you like them beans..
"..The model and her husband were first sentenced to one year and nine months in prison and a million fine for tax evasion.
Subsequently, however, they both acquittal in the High Court because the Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt (S) husband, Stephen Kinnock, tax litigation at the time had been published.
The two cases are very similar, and with the publication of Kinnock case, it was clear that Camilla Vest could not be punished for the same offense

Fuck these assholes. I want my America back.
It may not have been perfect but it was a damn sight better that what these criminals have turned it into over the last 50 years.
I ain't going nowhere.
Chief Sitting Bull probably said something similar. He lost in the end too. He was grossly outnumbered and out-gunned.
If he stood and fought and died for what he believed in he did not lose.
The "losers" that steal everything we value are not the ones that die. They're happy to be the live rich "losers" instead of the dead "winners".
Sitting Bull was killed by Indian agency police on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation during an attempt to arrest him at a time when authorities feared that he would join the Ghost Dance movement.
The "Losers" or their descendants, the white European immigrant land speculators, ranchers and miners, are alive and well. Sitting Bull's descendants did not fare so well.

Yep, but you are from Texas(I think), and so am I, and we are NOT Bostonites, and that shit will not fly here, without a major issues, and consequences.Nor will it in Okla, and many other areas.
Yeah, you showed us all how different you are at Waco. Stood by while women and children were deliberately incinerated. You don't have any more to be proud of than Boston has.
One thing I've been thinking lately, the only example of community resistance to the leviathan in my time in the US has been the LA riots. Those welfare-dependent assholes said "fuck that" when those guilty-as-fuck cops were exonerated, and it was on. How many here have stood up like that? Worth thinking about....welfare mums setting the example.
Sadly it will take a long time. Brace yourselves for years of a downward spiral.
Just because there is a long way to go doesnt mean that it will take a long time to get there.
Exponential acceleration of change is a mighty thing to behold.
Ask all those conservative Chrysler dealers in the mid-south that lost their franchises while the Obama supporters got to keep theirs.
Yes ...it sucks absolutely...
but - there's a certain point where you have to simply tear away the confusion and realize... there's no more fences pon which to sit. Three quarters(possibly more now!) of Merika's "foreign aid" budget goes directly to tel aviv. At a time when nobody can figure out how to keep air traffic control in working status...
the money which you slave to earn and then expect to keep(well, part of) is no longer yours... when you work to support the existence of an inhuman regime which repos your tax $ to
an even more inhuman one. So glad I did my time in the small biz trenches back in the 80\s 90\s\pre9-11... when we could still pretend to innocence and ignorance.
You pay taxes to the dual citiiZens running DC...you get what you deserve. Rise now...or die pon your knees.
I was audited this year. It was not my mistake and the IRS has not responded one way or the other since. But I felt like I could have been a target before I read this article I must admit.
Same thing happened to a co-worker who just so happened didn't vote for the regime either.
Btw didn't the IRS just come out and say they can read your emails if I'm not mistaken?
Yes. It is an easy way to find those who do not support the Supreme Soviet, take all of their wealth and eventually place them on a death list or FEMA train to the new Amerikan Gulag Archipelago.
And no, I am not joking.
Communists, like the ones in our Supreme Soviet, believe in violent revolution. This current bunch is smart enough to loot us all first before they kill us.
Leftist Regimes always mass murder their reclacitrant subjects. ALWAYS.
Rightest regimes just starve them. Cheaper.
I doubt you would know what a 'rightest regime' was even if it bit you in the ass, dumbfuck.
Not only can they (and do) read your emails, they also read blogs such as this for more ideas concerning who to fuck with. Welcome to 21st century fascism.
I guess the answer is to just be poor (in dollars at least). They can take my bank account since there is basically nothing in it.
I would hope that you at least took names and made your Dorner list for when things go SHTF. You know what I mean?! hujel
I have a $10,000+ nastygram from them on my desk at home right now. They waited a WHOLE YEAR and then socked it to me. I have good references for my treatment of the amounts in question too.
But, you know, you can't milk a cat. On the other hand this here cow is thinking of hanging it up and moving to the Lake Superior shore to eke out a living on an orchard or something. Then there's that offer to start a farm in Ecuador....
And...Up Yours Banksters and their soulless servants. And no, I don't blame the IRS line workers. You know this kind of policy goes way up.
That's the cool thing about living off theft, when you need more you just go and take more.
Just those of a bankrupt government creating more opportunities for more theft--"You owe, prove you don't."
Related sidenote: There are documents from the Nazis where some crat in Berlin would request more "efforts" from the crats below him to fund the gov and its war. Then more memos from those crats would follow to request more roundups by other crats in the occupied lands. Those outlying crats would then roundup more "undesirables" which were "worth" so much per head to the gov and its war. You can actually read the paper trail and see the "tallies." hujel

Makes sense -- "liberals" complain less about taxes than conservatarians do.
Liberals like to say taxes are the price of a civilized society. Of course half of all Americans pay NO income tax.
And 90% of them voted for a Dimocrap.
And 90% of them voted for a Dimocrap.
apologizes??? hehehehhee
They are so sorry that absolutely nothing will happen and they will continue their business-as-usual Caponeing of America.
WE pay our taxes.
Of course they're coming after us. We're all they got.
"They" will be going after anyone with wealth, period.
"They" will eventually get themselves shot in the head if they keep this up.*
It's either that, or those of us who support the system will find ways to stop contributing to our own slavery. We can leave the country or simply disappear amongst the rest of the herd who don't draw the State's attention. It is, after all, solely about money. They want it badly, but there are ways to make what they want go away altogether or become invisible.
*Hi, NSA stooges!
Another optimist. The average Joe in america is a fucking lazy moron. Money is really irrelevant, this is about power and control of resources, including the human kind.
True.
Also true: fuck with the wrong ones enough and that Joe in America will turn your cities into ashtrays. Those Joes in America will build a REAL war machine and feed it and use it to grind some asses into dust. Those Joes in America will tie on a mean drunk and do such wild, sick shit that they'll have to dedicate another fucking cable channel to tell all about it 60 years from now.
Germany and Japan made that same fucking mistake. Once.
Now tell me history doesn't at least rhyme. There is no end game in a circular track.
"They" have bigger guns and lots of ammo..."they" also have more guys behind them with even bigger guns and even more ammo. I hate "they".
If you truly care about your privacy or are planning for when TSHTF (The Stuff Hits The Fan) and need to be Off The Grid, you do yourself a disservice if you haven't read books by JJ Luna. Many, myself included, consider him a Grandmaster of Privacy, who's been living it for decades. Go to Amazon or his site.
I swear by some of the stuff he advises, as it has proven itself time and again. All legal and legit, of course, but 'unorthodox' perhaps. Just downloaded Flat Broke and Off The Grid for my Kindle browser. You can get a free Kindle viewer for phone, table or PC -- in case you didn't know.
BTW, I have no affiliation with or benefit/compensation from JJ. I just like and trust the man, and love his priceless books. One of the reasons I like and have learned to trust Jack, is that he actually responds to his emails. In 24 hrs. Simon Black, I wish one could say the same about you. Unless it's an account issue -- in which case you hear from his admin -- you will not hear back from Simon. Not bloody likely, as he's focused on his newsletters and marketing his 'brand', and does not want to get "bogged down" in the weeds. Jack has no such grandiose branding and market ambitions, and has 'cred' with me. Good luck, hope it works out for you.
Thanks for the recommendations. I just started taking a look at a few of that guy's books. Interesting stuff.
Not exactly. The government also has the FED. The FED has billions of junkies around the world who don't seem to be able to live without the Federal Reserve Note. They are all paying the inflation tax. In other words, the FED extracts seigniorage gains from everyone exposed to the US dollar. Currently, most of that gain funds the US government (monetization of debt, overt manipulation of interest rates, transferring of FED "profits" to the Treas[on] Department) and a very significant part of all the funding of the US government is coming from the FED (it can easily become the dominant way of funding, see Japan).
Government anymore is merely organized crime.
I believe 'dis-organized' crime fits better.
No, that's the facade of plausible deniability held in place by the self-propelled tools who still believe themselves to be "public servants." (those "useful idiots")
As I always say, government is the MOST organized form of crime, just with cheaper suits.
Organized crime is what happens on Wall St.
Dis-organized crime is what happens in DC and State capitals.
Not keeping these people in a lifestyle to which they've become accustomed, is a 'crime'. According to the IRS.
It is organized in the sense that there is a power structure. A hierarchy.
and having a Facebook profile just helps them in their harrassment
The mafia lives by a fairly rigid code. The government has no such code other than "we want MOAR." I have far more respect for a mobster than I do for a government bureaucrat.
Mobsters are generally above pointing a gun at you and taking your wallet. The government...not so much.
I agree, but I think this point should be clarified a bit. Most mafia organizations we know from popular culture and history claim they have a moral code, although in reality they tend to be the worst offenders of their own code. Governments, on the other hand, don't even pretend to have any morals or integrity. And even when they do pretend, it is not credible and does not last for long. So it does not do any good to even try, because it would in in itself constitute dishonesty. The reason is that governments compromise crucial, fundamental freedoms, rights, moral principles right from the outset: to start with, freedom of choice of whether to participate as a citizen and a property owner. Every person has the natural right to not agree to be a citizen or to secede, along with the property he owns, but governments of course don't respect anything like that.
Thanks for pointing out natural rights.

Yep, I'd say organized crime is pretty accurate.
You left off droning wedding parties, but that's because it's something only the government does.
The mob is much more efficient when it comes to targeted killings and actually seeks to avoid collateral damage. The government simply doesn't give a shit and kills at will.
Been that way for awhile.
J E Hoover, the Directress of the FBI and Chief Law Enforcement Agency of the US, was denying the very existence of the Mob during the 50's and 60's. This freed up lots of time to focus on sex scandals and invading the privacy of Rock bands.
He did such a knockout job of ignoring Organized Crime that LBJ waived the mandatory retirement age restriction and made Hoover "Director for Life". That was a prelude to the Nixon Presidency where the Mob basically moved into the White House.
It's pretty much what the Founding Fathers meant to add to the Constitution but failed due to time constraints.
Always have been. hujel
Sad shit, this will INCREASE the level of domestic acts against them.Hang on to your ass.
This is bad, yet we should grow the Government more, right? Right?
Yep, because giving politcans more power to "regulate" corportations will reduce their opportunity for being lobbied and bribed into corrupt dealings with those same corporations!
Hey I know, lets pass some regulation that only the large companies that bribe us could afford to pay the compliance costs of- that way they will be rid of those smaller competitiors!
Who is in charge of overseing this again? Wait. Didn't he used to work here?
Yes, and after he hass helped us there , he will work for us again, at an even bigger salary than before.
Moar Govt! That will reduce the Corruption!
you are not being watched... just being... "parented"
Not "parented," "herded." Parenting implies caring and nurturing for the benefit of the parented. Herding is controlling the animal for the benefit of the farmer/rancher.
Or put another way, they ultimately"parent" us into camps and then to death. hujel
Yet another reason, if any more reasons were needed, to abolish the IRS and institute a flat tax. (If indeed taxes are needed. Is government needed?)
Flat tax does not eliminate the IRS, the Fair Tax does.
See "fairtax.org"
any tax code that can be thought in 15 minutes to schoolchildren is good, and fairness be damned
which reminds me of one of one my favourite rants: the Roman Plebs fought to have written, public (i.e. not secret) laws
one day we'll have to fight to have less of them, so that we all might again know the law
oh, and of course lawmakers should be able to recite the law by heart/memory, instead of not knowing what they voted on
No taxes.
So, I wonder if you will be allowed to claim a loss when your money is stolen via the coming bank re-hypothication (a.k.a. "cyprused")?
Heh. How about claiming a loss on the negative real interest rate on your cash savings accounts?
If your mamby-pamby CPA is worth anything, they will give it a shot. But they won't. Because it tarnishes their rating at the IRS. They're in the business of making money for themselves, by taking the path of least resistance between you and the IRS.
Pay ur taxes bitchez.

Even the most liberal minded citizens of this country should be very angry right now. How much further do we need to fall?
They ought to be. You'll forgive me if I don't hold my breath.
Angry? Whats to be Angry at? My EBT is still getting charged, and people who disagree with me DESERVE to persecuted. Obama told me to vote for revenge on those who would expect me to be personally responsible and manage my own affairs and life without leeching off of others, and that is just what I did. Our team can do no wrong.
If it weren't for the double standards, American liberals would have no standards at all. The only thing they care about is power, and they will lie, steal, rape and kill to get it - because that is what entitlement minded marxist ALWAYS do, in every country, proportional to their power.

I'm an Independent, and we don't have to pay taxes.
The IRS is nothing but a bunch of jack booted thugs these days.
It needs to be abolished.
Financial terrorists!
"these days"?
Well, I was going to add the word "Nazi" too but didn't want to offend anyone here.
:/
Nazis everywhere would be offended by comparing them to the IRS.
The IRS is a way to divert money to the Federal Reserve banksters.
Of course the IRS apologised. Not for the sake of apologising but for the purpose of making it known as to what can happen to you if you are in the wrong group. If that doesn't scare off a few people I would be most surprised.
push a rat into a corner and the MF'er will bite the shiet out of you
His name is Joseph Stack.
every time you go voting for whatever political party you can imagine... democracy dies...
I don't think the democratic system was designed that way...
As a card-carrying partisan atheist, I approve this message.
could not disagree more. do you know the difference between isocracy, indirect, i.e. representative democracy and direct democracy?
have a look at the Swiss model, which is based on the third one
meanwhile you can have too much of a good thing, for example your country has too many parliaments, imho
but yes, +1 for one important thing you are pointing to: every political system is designed. and so it's important to understand it's design even if you actually plan to go against it. Adolf Hitler said something in this direction, btw
So you're saying rich 'conservatives' cheat more than rich 'liberals'? Hmmmm. obummer, dude

Help END THE FED and the IRS
There's a member of our community that needs a bit of help to get his project completed and I am trying to help him get to the finish line. I think you all know Bill Still from The Money Masters and The secret of Oz. His latest project 'Jekyll Island - the documentary' is nearly finished and he needs only 3.5k to wrap it up. I would ask that anyone that wants to see this work completed and spread to the largest possible audience to make a small contribution to the kickstarter campaign that he has posted. His deadline is this Sunday night and it would be great to have some contributions flow in from fight club, even greater if we could help him achieve his goal.

Even if you can spare $5 - $20 that is a huge donation and would help Mr. Still get to complete his masterpiece. If you can spare more then $24 FANTASTIC he will give you some decent swag for your contribution. T-shirts, signed DVDs, posters etc.. I am going to post this a few more times in the coming days so please don't consider it spam or solicitation it is for a fantastic cause and this documentary is going to be absolutely stellar!
The funding requirement is now only down to $3,500 with your help we can hit the target!
WOW $1000 donation just recieved!!!
Only $2,300 left, a major major thank you ZHers!!
He better set up a cash contribution system. Otherwise, we will be on yet another list.
Kickstarter.com is a fundraising system. If the total amount of $10,000 is not met by 11:59 Sunday evening nobody get's charged.

I went to his website and offered to send CASH Fiats.
Hopefully he will respond.
Cool, I think he is out today but should respond this eve, he's a really nice guy quite humble and always responds. The only problem as I said is if the 10k is not met on the Kickstarter page by 11:59 Sunday eve he gets nothing and nobody is charged. I guess if he could recieve the cash by sunday he could donate from his own credit card but that is not my call. I am just volunteering my marketing help so nothing goes to me nor am I involved with the kickstarter page other then pointing people to it via guerilla marketing on ZH and other sites/blogs/forums. I really want to see this documentary completed so I emailed some big wigs in the industry who are against the Federal Reserve last night, I hope they drop some larger donations.
Edit: only $1800 to go!!!!
