IRS Official In Charge During Tea Party Targeting Now Runs Health Care Office

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Submitted by Michael Krieger of Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,

I’d like to say that the following is unbelievable, but it’s not.  Unfortunately, it is all too believable.

From ABC:

The Internal Revenue Service official in charge of the tax-exempt organizations at the time when the unit targeted tea party groups now runs the IRS office responsible for the health care legislation.

USA! USA!

Sarah Hall Ingram served as commissioner of the office responsible for tax-exempt organizations between 2009 and 2012. But Ingram has since left that part of the IRS and is now the director of the IRS’ Affordable Care Act office, the IRS confirmed to ABC News today.

 

Her successor, Joseph Grant, is taking the fall for misdeeds at the scandal-plagued unit between 2010 and 2012. During at least part of that time, Grant served as deputy commissioner of the tax-exempt unit.

 

Grant announced today that he would retire June 3, despite being appointed as commissioner of the tax-exempt office May 8, a week ago.

 

“Obamacare empowers the agency that just violated the public’s trust by secretly targeting conservative groups,” Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-Ind., added. “Even by Washington’s standards, that’s unacceptable.”

 

Sen. John Cornyn even introduced a bill, the “Keep the IRS Off Your Health Care Act of 2013,” which would prohibit the Secretary of the Treasury, or any delegate, including the IRS, from enforcing the Affordable Care Act.

 

“Now more than ever, we need to prevent the IRS from having any role in Americans’ health care,” Cornyn, R-Texas, stated. “I do not support Obamacare, and after the events of last week, I cannot support giving the IRS any more responsibility or taxpayer dollars to implement a broken law.”

Pure 100% unadulterated Banana Republic.

Uugghhh????

Shirley the Rt Hon. Sen Conryn can appreciate that the IRS has a vested interest in the health - and productivity - of its tax-cows?

IRS + ObamaCare: Full-Spectrum Proctology

Unusual post from Jesse over at his Cafe.

"I think the shit hit the fan late last year, and everything that has happened since then has been a reaction to that.  I do think there will be a bank/market holiday,"

To me (q99x2) and I know less than what my posts sound like it seems like the Central Banks went bankrupt at the end of last year. They are out of GOLD bitchez.

US Gold Reserves El Gonzo

And powerful people are pissed at the Obama, Holder, the Treasury, the IRS and Ben Fucking Shalom Bernanke.

Additionally, The reason for the Department of Defense issues new instructions allowing the military to quell large-scale, unexpected civil disturbances is because DHS hit a snag as far as being able to provide these essential services when the take down of the Constitutional United States of America occurs.

Which means sooner than we think.

I think Jesse is right. Something suprising is about to happen.

The system has hollowed out.  Any forward motion we now see is a product of inertia.  Any hope that appeared after 2008 was predicated on the assumption that the parasites would band together out of self-interest and keep it all together.   The parasites did band together.  Unfortunately it was not a collective effort.

 

Frightened by the numbers, the multinational bankers banded together and maximized their looting of the system.  Their theft went exponential.  Every currency is in full print mode.  The paper still works because it is traditional.  The rush for gold and silver by the little people indicates that the herd knows how this will play out.

 

Frightened by the town hall meetings, the political class banded together and suspended the Constitution.  They declared our major metropolitan areas constitutional free zones and gave the President the authority to detain or kill any citizen he deems to be a threat.  The rush into guns and ammunition by the little people indicates that the herd knows how this will play out as well.

From Wiki "Banana republic .... It typically has stratified social classes, including a large, impoverished working class and a ruling plutocracy that comprises the elites of business, politics, and the military.[1] This politico-economic oligarchy controls the primary-sector productions and thereby exploits the country's economy. [2]

The IRS story started with a planted question by the outgoing IRS head? Why? To distract the sheep from Benghazi which is the real story.

With Obama out to destroy the dollar, bugging the press and house cloak room and using the IRS as muscle for his enemies list, it's time to correct past wrongs.

It's time to pass a bill that will revoke the and apologize to America for the impeachment of Richard Nixon. It turns out Nixon was a true presidential visionary without whom, today would not be possible. Sure, Obama could just pardon him (can't wait to see his pardon list at terms end), but really he couldn't of done it without both sides of the aisle bending over and they need to be acknowledged for their work.

Even Piers Morgan can see tyranny now, what is the world coming to.

(although he still thinks that the IRS has nothing to do with guns, which is ludicrous, why else would you pay them?)

Piers Morgan, the clueless twit who couldn't see the potential for tyranny that has been shown in history time and time again, a history our founding fathers actaully knew about having just overcome the tyranny of their time.

Morgan was totally owned in an interview with someone who didn't fall for his cheap, diversionary debating techniques that the idiot Alex Jones fell for:

Shapiro: I think the reason that it’s about left and right here is because fundamentally, the right believes that the basis for the Second amendment--and they believe in the Second Amendment--the basis for the Second Amendment is not really about self defense, and it's not about hunting. It's about resistance to government tyranny. That’s what the Founders said, and that’s what the right believes in this country.

Morgan: Which tyranny are you fearing, yourself?

Shapiro: I fear the possibility of a tyranny rising in the country in the next fifty to a hundred years. Let me tell you something, Piers. The fact that my grandparents and great grandparents in Europe didn't fear that is why they're now ashes in Europe. So this kind of leftist revisionist history where there's never any fear of democracy going usurpatious or tyrannical, is just that. It’s fictitious.

Capital flight from Japan/Europe/UK.

In Japan, you first buy USD with your yen in order to buy S&P stocks. It strengthens both the currency and the stock being bought.

Obama's head is so far up his ass, it's sticking out his neck.  He is the greatest president ever elected to the office of the presidency, hands down.

 

Didn't Barry Goldwater declare that the income tax created the biggest criminal class in America?

Now, it will be Obamacare.

People dont want cheaper healthcare? US pays the most in of any country for healthcare and gets very little in return.

Anyway not my point, this IRS "scandal" is total bs, did you know that only ones that got denied of tax exemp status were some leftie organizations? Teabaggies got only delayed (which was wrong) and I am still waiting someone tell me how are they not political organizations? Get rid of the tax exempt.

Ps. Does everybody notice that the biggest scandal has vanished and news&we are just talking about republican talking points. Which story you ask? THE Associated Press gov. illegal hacking. More serious that some bookclub in Ohio, reading their Ann Coulter books had to wait 6 extra months for their cookie money back.
