Least Transparent Ever: IRS Used "Wholly Separate" Message System To Hide Communications
Submitted by Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,
Barack Obama promised to have the “most transparent administration ever,” but as with pretty much every other promise he’s made over the years, the exact opposite is what has occurred.
From Hillary Clinton using her own private email server while Secretary of State, to the latest revelations that the IRS (which intentionally targeted American citizens based on their political views), used a “wholly separate” instant messaging system in order to conceal their internal communications. Of course, not only is there no transparency, but as is the case with all shady and undemocratic “elite” behavior, there is no accountability.
In the latest bit of information to emerge, we learn from Americans for Tax Reform that:
The IRS used a “wholly separate” instant messaging system that automatically deleted office communications, according to documentation released by the House Oversight Committee on Monday. The system appears to have been purposefully used by agency officials responsible for the targeting of conservative non-profits, in order to evade public scrutiny.
The system, known as “Office Communication Server” or OCS was used by IRS officials, including many in the Exempt Organizations (EO) Unit, which was headed by Lois Lerner.
As the Oversight Committee report states, the instant messaging system did not archive any communications, so it is not possible to know what employees of the EO unit discussed on it.
However, in an email uncovered by the Committee Lerner warns her colleagues about evading Congressional oversight:
“I was cautioning folks about email and how we have had several occasions where Congress has asked for emails and there has been an electronic search for responsive emails – so we need to be cautious about what we say in emails.”
Lerner then asks whether OCS is automatically archived. When informed it was not, Lerner responded “Perfect.”
While it is possible to set the instant messaging system to automatically archive messages, the IRS chose not to do so, according to one employee interviewed by the Committee.
This is not what freedom looks like.

Where is jail time for these people?
Oh, sorry, they're not enemies of the state
"Where is jail time for these people?" i peed myself laughing at that question!
Unchecked criminality in broad daylight and nothing will happen.
... did you know ... there is even a question of the legality of the IRS to collect income taxes ...
... according to this, >>> http://www.wnd.com/2001/08/10533/
... "“I’ve read all of the cases the IRS mentions” in its 25-page document entitled “The Truth About Frivolous Tax Arguments,” said Bill Benson, author of “The Law That Never Was,” a book many believe debunks the government’s claim that the income tax is legal and that the IRS is a properly authorized government agency. Very simply, he says there is no actual law authorizing an income tax."
"A former criminal investigator for the Illinois Department of Revenue for nearly a decade, Benson said he has “17,000 certified and notarized documents showing that the 16th Amendment is an absolute, complete and total fraud.” "
... it continues ...
... "Rather than dicker over IRS codes, legal impressions and court cases, Kidd and other “tax-honesty” proponents believe the key to discovering the legality of income tax lies in proving these contentions:
•That the IRS is not an authorized agency of the government and has no authority to conduct business;
•That the government’s jurisdiction is not valid;
•The fraudulent ratification of the 16th Amendment unlawfully wiped out the apportionment clause of the Constitution;
•That an individual is, without question, forced to involuntarily surrender his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination by filing any income tax form under penalty of perjury."
The apportionment clause still exists as part of the Constitution. The 16th merely left the Constitution in conflict with itself. Repeal of the 16th AND 17th will go a long way to fixing this mess.
I pay no taxes to the Beast that ate America.
You might not pay "income" or "fica" taxes, but you pay. Everytime you buy something you pay taxes, and I'm not talking about sales tax. All the taxes assessed down the line are built into the price. You have a connection for the internet, no? You pay taxes when you pay your bill. The list goes on...
You're right, the overgrown criminal enterprise that our gov has morphed into feeds itself anywhere it can tap into any economic transactions and even into the mere possesion of wealth (they want a cut of what you got!).
But, as I read this post and the comments, I note two things:
1. I think it is likelly that these "revelations" are a deliberate and staged catharsis, a "yes, we were bad, but we'll bevavior ourselves now" experience designed mainly as a distraction, as a way of saying: Hey! Look over there!!! .... (and don't listen to people saying we shouldn't exist at all...based simply on common sense)
2. While I agree with many of the constitutional arguments against the existence of the IRS and the Income Tax, you need a functioning court system that has integrity for such arguments to have any effect. We have a court system that is so corrupt it is willing to redefine words like tax and purchase based on some argument that says congress didn't mean what it said when it said what it said... reminds me of the phrase "...what the meaning of the word is is". Our court system is a sick joke.
I appeal to common sense: THE FAIRTAX (HR25). If you can wake enough people up, you have common sense on your side!
Same. Like attending jury duty, only a fool would pay taxes. However, I went further and relocated out of the USA
Jury duty is one of the last remaining mechanisms to change The State.
fija.org.
....ah yes, if only there were some way to get picked for jury duty on certain key cases... what a glorious opportunity to strike a hard blow against cronyism, tryanny and plain stupidity through reasoned persuasion of your fellow jurors! (that jurors can judge not only the defendant, but the law itself and render a verdict accordingly)
Everyone should support FIJA, the Fully Informed Jury Association. The Founders intended for the juror to be the final arbiter of unjust laws. It was intended that the system was not to rest on a Judge's orders to go by the letter of the law, but rather the common sense of the jury. We already know that the legislators make laws in accordance with the oligarchs' instructions. Besides, most are as dumb as a jail cell that most should occupy.
So, what do we have now in the FSA? Over 3 million unjust laws and ordinances, each of which limits someone's freedom. Some destroy all of our freedoms, except the scum that have the power to place themselves above the law.
>>>Unchecked criminality in broad daylight and nothing will happen.
When your team is on the right side of history, everything is permitted.

August, that picture you use looks so vaugly, hauntingly familiar - am I in love?
Somewhere out there right now is the next American hero. It's some IT geek that was genuinely and rightfully pissed that a psychopathic Goddamn theif like Lerner wanted to use OCS for their secret slimeball scheming.
Lerner: "Be sure you don't archive those secret messages now, 'K?" [wink wink]
IT geek [sighs]: "Yeah, sure Ms. Lerner. Nobody will ever find out a thing..."
Three years later, the dude walks out with a three terabyte hard drive of every last f'king criminal message sent on their evil network.
[email] "Dear Mr. Greenwald of The Intercept: I have a substantial amount of previously confidential IRS material you and your readers may find particularly interesting. I would have sent it to the Justice Department, but those fuckers are in on it, too."
better yet he worms the whole beast...
Better yet he guts the whole beast... preferably while it's still warm and kicking.
The sad part is that the PLA already has copies of all of these messages but they are using them to blackmail the US into extraditing all of the Chinese tax evaders who are in the US.
I know I don't have to state this but, You know this country is fucked when the rule of law is no longer followed, blatently! So when my IRS audit comes, all my reciepts where on my failed hard drive. I'm sorry I just can't give you what you are asking for! I'm sure you understand, right? Riiiiiggghhhht?
The first clue was when they charge you interest and penalties no matter what.
The second is, they don't allocate interest or penalties to you when they screw up.
The third of course (returning to the article) is, "Its rogue agents in Cincinnati!!!" (Lois Lerner, former IRS Commissioner Steven Miller and White House Press Secretary Jay Carney) and "Not even a smidgen of corruption!" (Dear Leader Obamao).
Obama called on Kenyans to “break the cycle” of government corruption, a lingering problem across Africa.
“It’s an anchor that weighs you down and prevents you from achieving what you could,” Mr. Obama said.
“Ordinary people have to stand up and say ‘enough is enough.’”
And no trip to the African western slave coast this time for prog press photo ops.
I guess he's tired of getting his ass handed to him by history ;-)
So when the country makes white people pay reparations for slavery (even though most of them never owned any) then Obama has to pay a 50% freight because he's a mulatto?
Another Libtard lie. He's our first-black president.
Nah, he's our first half black president.
I'm still trying to figure out how black plantation owners (AND THEIR OFFSPRING) will figger into that whole equation AND how John Roberts will twist himself into a pretzel in order to find blacks enslaving blacks legally equates into Hispanics who also enslaved blacks pay their fair sha...oh shit, I can't keep up with the PC bullshit...lol.
I dont know knuckles....the libs all say Bill Clinton was the first black president. I think that makes Obama the first gay president.
Just us, not justice.
With the IRS, you are guilty unless you can prove your innocence.
I went to the IRS headquarters in Washington, DC to see if people on the street thought we would ever live in a world without taxes.

Not enemies of the State but definitely enemies of the people.
They're making the "us vs them" thing formal now, are they?
It'll make for interesting community footwork on their part.
Good luck driving the same car out you came in!!
We're all adults. We can get the job done without rifling through one another's bank accounts, retirement plans and property holdings.
More like enemas of the state ....
Etrade baby might get a bill for his net worth of his ass-sets on the black market, fuck broke ass failed governments
Nothing to see here, move along. Afterall Obama was on the john Stewart show and said there wasn't any targeting of conservatives. Even Lois Lerner admited to that crime. Obama needs to be swinging from the white house flag pole along with his attorney generals and OFC Miss Lerner.
Along with the chimp and dickie before him

Interesting, on the system I work on everything is archived. On the more sensitive parts every mouse quiver and click can be played back.
Of Course we're subjects of subject to government oversight...
No, don't you understand?
We have actual gubmint officials actually saying with a straight face mind you (and dutifully reported ad nauseum by the state captured press) her hard drive crashed, then it was sent to the .gov recycling bin (apparently in Nigeria) where it was monkey hammered back into ore dust which is now in every GM vehicle made since 2010!
You really need to pay attention to your gubmint officialdom broadcasts! ;-)
The Ministry of Love will be paying Mr. Bones a visit.
He always has the option to hide out here with the recalcitrant's. I remember once upon a time when the word outlaw carried a negative connotation, now, not so much ;-)
congress and senate and exec branch have the IRS's back..it's a big club and you and I are not in it.
Definitely not, we've "evolved" beyond that...lol.
Which brings up another point I've been puzzling on, if robots are going to take over all means of production leading to some sort of human no-work-all-play nirvana and the economy is merely about just printing money, we really don't need economists, pundits, banks or treasury departments do we?
A billion prog heads explode in the silence of a vacuum ;-)
Fuck the GOP. They have the power to stop this shit tomorrow but choose to fund it anyway.
They are one large part of the overall problem.
they are afraid of Rep Cummings...anytime they drag an obviously guilty person i.e. Hillary, Lerner et al before congress...He jumps up and down bloviating how its a GOP witch hunt...

Lately Im having trouble keeping this look of incredulity and disbeleif off my puss....as I watch the news...

LOL,,, YES, that and videos of baby parts being dissected and skulls crushed .."its another boy" giggle giggle....
LMAO!
Government privilege is very real
This is actually well past that. That would be everyone gets a pass. This is ruling party priviledge, and is one of the hallmarks of banana republics like Argentina.
Send Jason Mattera back to interview her again (Lois Lerner). She loved it the last time:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u88vMSbX_xA
Sir, THAT IS FUCKING EPIC and a balm to my soul...I LOVE when the husband shows up and says vehemently..."I DONT WANT HER IN MY HOUSE" Just wow...
Unfucking real! Love the husband and the lady clearly didn't care for Lerner either.
Now that it is no secret that our bureaucracy has been officially politicized we are now, by definition, a Second World Country.
When "public servants" punishment for crimes is a tax-payer funded retirement, only guerrilla actions could turn this around. It would take just one Lois Lerner swinging from a pole in broad daylight, all the little criminals would get the memo.
Yes...so when do we make this happen?

"It’s hard to find a more perfect example of this collusion than in a bill that’s headed for a vote soon in the U.S. Senate: the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act, or CISA.
CISA is an out and out surveillance bill masquerading as a cybersecurity bill. It won’t stop hackers. Instead, it essentially legalizes all forms of government and corporate spying.
Here’s how it works. Companies would be given new authority to monitor their users -- on their own systems as well as those of any other entity -- and then, in order to get immunity from virtually all existing surveillance laws, they would be encouraged to share vaguely defined “cyber threat indicators” with the government. This could be anything from email content, to passwords, IP addresses, or personal information associated with an account. The language of the bill is written to encourage companies to share liberally and include as many personal details as possible."

The government can require Hillary to preserve her non-government server and communications. http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/uscode/18/I/121/2703
We have laws for serfs and no laws for our nobles? Hillary and the IRS have something to hide. Federal law since 1950 requires the preservation of records. 44 U.S.C. §3101 http://itlaw.wikia.com/wiki/Federal_Records_Act_of_1950#cite_ref-0
Hillary and her server providers and all enablers within the IRS conspired against the laws of the US. This is a felony with a five year sentence. http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/uscode/18/I/19/371
Has anyone in congress reported this to the FBI? http://www.justanswer.com/criminal-law/556v3-file-federal-criminal-compl...
The "government" has not been legitimate since Lincoln's War. When the southern States' contingent walked out of congress and congress adjourned "sine die" (without a day), congress officially dissolved. They never had a lawful quorum so never lawfully reconvened.
It was Lincoln ruling by decree back then which is the basis for all actions since. He ordered congress to do certain things under martial law (military rule). He even had the governor of New York arrested for opposing certain decrees.
We have had a corporation ACTING as government since 21 Feb 1871.
See:
28 U.S.C. 3002 (15)
(15)“United States” means—
(A) a Federal corporation;
(B) an agency, department, commission, board, or other entity of the United States; or
(C) an instrumentality of the United States.
So... B and C are subdivisions of the "Federal corporation." For further verification go to Dunn & Bradstreet (dnb.com) or manta.com. You will find that ALL government entities are listed as private corporations right down to your local police department and school district.
The "law" isn't what you think it is. It's all corporate regulations. Congress and legislatures are acting as the board of directors for the corporations and most don't have any idea. You are simply seen as a corporate asset (human resource) with an asset tag # (SS#) that is not allowed to tell your owner what to do.
The questions you should be asking are, "Who owns it?" "Who are they really working for whether they know it or not?" "What are the requirements to be a CEO of a corporation?"
Hint: You don't have to be a Citizen of any specific country to head up a corporation.
These Criminal Psychopaths / Sociopaths are just minions gaming a Criminal FRUAD system all based on Contract Fraud through our CONSENT (Blacks Law Dictionary) & deception.
From Lincoln, to the Act of 1871, Fed Reserve Act of 1913, to The Emergency Banking Act of 1933. No doubt, thse Megalomaniac's have taken historical FACT, twisted it, kept it from public knowledge to use as leverage in their diabolical plan to Enslave / Control mankind. And, the entire planet.
yep. and people wonder why they can't stand the Confederate Flag.
Excellent. The preamble of our 1788 constitution, which wikipedia doesn't include in it's US constitution entry, are:
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America"
But in 1871, the language was changed regarding the new DC government as obeying "the laws of the United States of America"
In other words, a government for a collection of states became a government ruling over the 'unites states', but the legal party the 'united states' had no prior existence as a legal entity. Where does it come from? Essentially it was a made up word for a new legal entity. Therefore the new DC government created a new government superceding the original constitution, which is no longer applicable regarding the limits of federal powers vs states powers. Nowdays, federal powers trump everything; the former rights of the states and people mean nothing to the Federal authorites
The change from 'for' to 'of' is critical, since 'for' assumes states have individual identiies that still carry over from their original definitions under England's rule or as existing prior to joining the states as membersof the'united states'. The new Unites States government doesn't recognize the existence of any prior state. It therefore makes it's own laws over all the states. It's not surprising that the resulf of the civil war was really a revolution, a usurping of the original government for the nisted states of America.
Much like the King of England (check article six of the Magna Carta to see how early 'the City' of London priveledged 1 square mile zone was) and his banker buddies created the 'City' of London as a new self governing entity, consisting of a 1 square mile of land on the borders of the old Roman fort called Londinium, The Bank of England, the British East India company, all the trade of the British empire flowed (and still does or throught the royal monarchs possessions such as the channel islands) through this self governing area. Our DC has become same on this side of the Atlantic, ruling in a political and economic matters, and in thus having more political power exercised via military muscle, than 'the City' has.

February 21, 1871 Congress Passes an Act to Provide a Government for the District of Columbia, also known as the Act of 1871*
With no constitutional authority to do so, Congress creates a separate form of government for the District of Columbia, a ten mile square parcel of land (see, Acts of the Forty-first Congress," Section 34, Session III, chapters 61 and 62).
The act -- passed when the country was weakened and financially depleted in the aftermath of the Civil War -- was a strategic move by foreign interests (international bankers) who were intent upon gaining a stranglehold on the coffers and neck of America.
Congress cut a deal with the international bankers (specifically Rothschilds of London) to incur a DEBT to said bankers. Because the bankers were not about to lend money to a floundering nation without serious stipulations, they devised a way to get their foot in the door of the United States.
The Act of 1871 formed a corporation called THE UNITED STATES. The corporation, OWNED by foreign interests, moved in and shoved the original Constitution into a dustbin. With the Act of 1871, the original Constitution for the united States (1788) was defaced in effect vandalized and sabotage when the title was capitalized and the word "for" was changed to "of" in the title
THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (1871)
is the constitution of the INCORPORATED UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
It operates in an economic capacity and has been used to fool the People into thinking it governs the Republic. It does is not !
Capitalization is significant when one is referring to a legal document. This seemingly "minor" alteration has had a major impact on every subsequent generation of Americans.
What Congress did by passing the Act of 1871 was create an entirely new document, a constitution for the government of the District of Columbia, an INCORPORATED government. This newly altered Constitution was not intended to benefit the Republic. It benefits only the corporation of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and operates entirely outside the original Constitution.
Instead of having absolute and unalienable rights guaranteed under the original Constitution, we the people now have "relative" rights or privileges. One example is the Sovereign's right to travel, which has now been transformed (under corporate government policy) into a "privilege" that requires citizens to be licensed.
By passing the Act of 1871, Congress committed TREASON against the People who were Sovereign under the grants and decrees of the Declaration of Independence and the original Constitution.
An agency whose sole purpose is to steal money from the people can't do any better. If you can steal, you can lie, if you can lie, you have to hide your lies.
This is what regulatory capture looks like.
remind me , did the guy who flew a plane into an IRS office do that before or after 911? and where can I take flying lessons you know just to fly don't need to learn how to land.
That was before. Please do call if you need more medication or directions.

Lois Lerner pleads the fifth and the evidence is then systematically destroyed. This is worse than Watergate and is receiving very little press. More than one person should be in jail.
WOW does this mean the IRS will collapse and go away? One can only dream.
If i were elected president i would tell every american, legal that is, to stop filing an income tax return because they are commutting a crime when doing so. I would then pardon them, legal americans that is, and dissolve any debts they incur from the illegal IRS.
I would then force congress to follow the law and veto all legislation including any national security legislation until this happens. I would also prevent convress from getting a paycheck until freedom and liberty is restored to the american, legal that is, people. Then i would have trials for treason in the rose garden where members of congress who are guilty, and all of them are, hang from the neck umtil the be dead, dead , DEAD!!!
I would simultaneously lock the borer down unti the rule of law was restored, i would impose marshall law and have every federal judge removed from their illegal post and hold elections by paper ballot to restore the semblence of law to the people, american that is, who wish to be free.
LIBERTY IS A DEMAND!!! LIVE FREE OR DIE AND THE ONLY WAY THAT HAPPENS IF WE ALL GIVE UP OUR SELFISH DESIRES AND SACRIFICE COMFORT AND PLEASURE FOR FREEDOM AND LIBERTY!!!
Until all of you, myself included and i have, cut the cord from these traitors nothing will change.
HOW ABOUT SOME REAL CHANGE FOR ONCE?
The law is something we White folks have to obey. Do you think, for a moment, that if we failed to dot every i or cross every t that .gov would say "oh that's OK" NO they would put your ass in Club Fed.
Yet you have Obama and all his underlings from Lerner, Holder on down who FLAGRANTLY FLAUNT their violation of US law and the Constitution. I have never seen anything as blatant and the press and the bought and sold GOP do NOTHING, in fact both ASSIST Obama in his crimes.
Huffington Post: “An Open Letter to White Men”
Since Whites are being attacked as a race, we have no other choice but to defend ourselves as Whites. .gov discriminates against us, private businesses discriminate against us, the mainstream media conducts mind-warfare against us, and people of color are SLAUGHTERING White men, women and children DAILY, with liberal doses of rape and torture as well.

(They destroyed the 5th so I'll just take a quart of Tequila thank you very much.)
I hope the IRS has the arrogance to kick up their criminal activity. Once the camel's back finally breaks, anyone who previously worked at the IRS won't be able to get a job scrubbing toilets. The leadership will likely be taken care of by the raging populace.
That pendulum will start swinging the other way, and if it is forced to move in it's current trajectory far enough, it will look more like an axe or guillotine blade than a pendulum when it comes back the other way. This shit is too funny. The arrogance and hubris is unreal. Social dynamics are nothing to fuck with.
If there was ever anyon ody who should be given enhanced interrigation it is lois lerner and john koskinen. Especially mr koskinen who looks like someone who rapes little boys.
They both, at the snd of their interrigation shiuld be taken out back, have their hands and feet nailes to the ground and run them over with a steam roller going exactly .75 mph. Give them every opportumity to confess and when they do slow it down to .666 mph.
They must pay.

Starts singing "And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the freeeeeeee and the home of the brave."
Moewhahah.
The exact same thing happens in all government departments. They are only using Lerner and the IRS to acclimatize us to the fact. This is all about setting precedent. When we find out that others do the same thing, they will shrug their shoulders and say this stuff happens. This is nothing but programming.
If you can't beat them, join them.

This could be true but one would have to want to believe it to take it at face value.
Everyone in government who utters the word "folks" is a fucking criminal. I'd love to know how many millions in tax-payer money was spent on focus groups to dig out that little gem.
