"The IRS does not prevail against citizens because the agency
adheres to the rule of law... the IRS prevails against citizens because the
agency ignores the law, twists the meaning of the law, and overwhelms the
citizen with economic and legal burdens." Joseph Banister, former IRS
agent
In a few previous articles we have
chronicled the difficulties we have had with the IRS, along with some stories
from our readers on their difficulties with this rogue government agency.
Coupled with the stories in the news about the IRS targeting conservative groups
and illegally transferring taxpayer information to the White House, the IRS is
currently on trial in the court of public opinion. But for justice to
prevail, the IRS should be on trial in a federal court where some IRS officers
and employees end up paying huge fines and sent to jail for very long
times. The question is, will they?
Because of the difficulties we have
personally experienced with the IRS, we have challenged them with
a couple of strategies. One such strategy was the use of legal
affidavits. Using that strategy, we defeated them on two specific
occasions.
However, since they have now assessed
a bogus $10,000 penalty against us and are threatening to seize our banks
accounts and other assets, we are using a more aggressive strategy.
In one September 2013 Certified - Return Receipt Requested (C-RRR)
communication we demanded that the IRS cancel the assessment by no later
than October 11, 2013, or we would commence with specific actions. Of
course, there was no response to our demand. Consequently, on October
15, 2013 we filed a C-RRR letter with the two IRS offices that have
assessed the penalties, indicating that we are now filing a criminal complaint
with the FBI against the IRS and 4 other actions, as follows:
1.
File a lawsuit in U. S.
District Court, Western District of Washington stating several causes of action
and requesting significant monetary damages. We are drafting the pleading at this
writing.
2.
Suggest to our national
audience, who are having difficulty with the IRS, to file Freedom of Information
Act requests under 5 USC Section 552, requesting specific kinds of
documents.
3.
Suggest to our national
audience how to establish an LLC for their own business and use the losses from
that business in the early years to offset their personal income taxes.
4.
Create a series of IRS
tell-all videos that will go viral because they will be about the
IRS.
A copy of the cover letter to the FBI
and the criminal complaint were included with our letters of October 15th to the
IRS.
Copies of the FBI letter and Criminal
Complaint were also sent to a wide range of recipients, including the
Secretary of the Treasury, the IRS Commissioner and Chief Counsel, the news
media, Chairman Daryl Issa of the House Oversight and Government Reform
committee and Chairman Max Baucus of the Senate Finance Committee, both
investigating the IRS. Copies of the documents have also been posted
on our website HERE.

Item 1 will only be filed with
the U. S. District Court if in the event the IRS follows through with seizure of
our bank accounts or other assets. Items 2 and 3 are in process and Item
4, the video, has already been uploaded to Youtube and can be viewed
HERE.

What we would like to share
with our reading audience in this article are excerpts from our
FBI Criminal Complaint against the IRS, as they paint a picture of criminality
that should be prosecuted in a court of competent jurisdiction. The heart
of the Criminal Complaint is contained in the allegations we make against the
IRS. Words that are surrounded by brackets are additions to the Complaint
that we will file with the FBI in an amendment. These excerpts from the
Criminal Complaint follow:
RE: A CITIZEN COMPLAINT CHARGING THE GOVERNMENT AGENCY KNOWN AS
THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE, OR IRS, WITH CRIMINAL COLLUSION, RACKETEERING,
GRAFT, FRAUD, NEGLIGENCE AND BLATANT BREAKING OF THE LAW, TOGETHER WITH

2. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Co-conspirator
3. Acting IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfer Co-conspirator
6. District Director for the Ogden, UT IRS Service Center Co-conspirator
It promotes a blatant contradiction between the IRS’ public persona of compassion and willingness to help, versus its private behavior of ruthless aggression and destruction.
It believes they can simply invent the rules as they go along, completely outside of the law.
I, the undersigned, a natural born citizen of the Republic
State of Washington and also a nationally known author on freedom, liberty and

federal agency, the FBI, that should take action in the violations I describe
herein, will add these charges to the criminal investigation now underway
against the IRS for illegally targeting conservative groups requesting 501c4
status and illegally transferring confidential taxpayer information to the White
House in violation of federal law, and other violations of law that may come to
light in the investigations by the U. S. House of Representatives, the U. S.
Senate, or other investigative sources.
I hereby request that the FBI, Washington DC Headquarters, conduct a full
investigation into the following circumstances in which I allege that collusion,
racketeering, graft and fraud, as hereinafter legally defined, and intentional,
willful and reckless disregard for the rule of law, took place and is taking
place within the government agency known as the IRS.

ALLEGATIONS
Given our experiences with
the IRS and the experiences of other taxpayers who have communicated with
us, we charge that in fact the IRS is a criminal racketeering
enterprise. The IRS Tax court is corrupt and a willing co-conspirator in
the enterprise. The following items and other causes of action are reflected in
this criminal complaint and will be added to our lawsuit in U. S. District
Court against the IRS when filed.
The IRS uses fear and intimidation
to force taxpayers into surrendering their money.
It threatens the use of force to
coerce taxpayers into capitulating to the IRS demands, legal or
not.
It lies to the media and the
public about its true intentions.It promotes a blatant contradiction between the IRS’ public persona of compassion and willingness to help, versus its private behavior of ruthless aggression and destruction.
It believes they have an inherent
right to rule over everyone else.
It has no respect whatsoever for
individual rights, liberties, or the rule of law.It believes they can simply invent the rules as they go along, completely outside of the law.
It believes they are exempt from
the same laws and rules they force on everyone
else.
The IRS operates in a completely
political environment where decisions are made and actions taken for purely
political reasons against perceived political enemies. Every American should be
outraged at the politicization of the IRS, the ridiculous and complicated IRS
tax code and how the IRS treats them. All Americans have become indentured
slaves to the IRS Tax Code [in violation of the
13th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution.]
We allege that the IRS has
violated the constitutional rights of lawful citizens of the United States of
America, and our rights, under the color of law, in blatant violation of 42
USC Section 1983.
[We allege that the
$10,000 penalty assessment filed against us is in direct violation of the 8th
Amendment which prohibits excessive fines and
penalties.]
We allege that the IRS has
illegally targeted political opponents of the Obama Administration by forcing
conservative groups to jump through IRS hoops and scrutiny that is not applied
to liberal groups, for purely political reasons. As a national
conservative author, we further allege that we were specifically
targeted for what we have written about the government in general and the
IRS specifically, for purely political reasons.
We allege that the IRS has
illegally transferred IRS confidential information of taxpayers to the White
House and to other government agencies, in direct violation of federal law as
reported by the news, [that requires huge fines and
potential incarceration under federal law.]
We allege that the IRS
violated the law by ignoring our legal affidavits and assessing penalties
for what is a technical violation of the IRS code. We have heard from
other taxpayers who have suffered the same indignities and illegal behavior by
the IRS. One of those taxpayers went to jail for 78 months and was
never charged with a crime. How can this happen in
America?
We allege that the IRS has
totally ignored our innocent spouse affidavit and continues to levy a
penalty against us when in fact our spouse has never had even the
remotest participation in filing Form 1040, or any other IRS form and the paying
of income taxes.
We allege that the IRS has
committed perjury by trying to perfect a "procedurally proper ASSESSMENT" (the
$5,000 each penalty assessment against my wife and I) in violation of IRC 6065
and 18 U.S.C. 1621.
The abuses we have chronicled
[in this Complaint] have, as their common
denominator, violations of one or more the fundamental laws of freedom and
liberty as outlined in the U. S. Constitution. These abuses embody the sort of
malfeasance and intrusion by Government, anticipated by the Founders, and thus
these violations, so chronic to the federal government and the IRS, leaves no
question that it rises to the level of a criminal conspiracy. We allege
that the IRS is in fact, an out-of-control rogue agency of the Federal
Government.
It is the conviction of millions
of freedom-loving Americans that this pattern and practice of abuse by the IRS,
is an ongoing criminal racketeering enterprise and merits aggressive
investigation and prosecution by the only federal agency [the FBI] that has the
power to set things right, that is if they too, have not been corrupted. A
special prosecutor should be named and a grand jury should be convened in dual
investigations of the IRS's [criminal activities] and
any connection to the White House.
The perception that way too many
Americans have of their government is that if a person defrauds the government,
he or she will go to jail. However, if the government defrauds or steals
from the people, no one is fired and the perpetrators just get promoted.
The other current [Obama Administration] scandals of
Fast and Furious, the bungling and lying about the Benghazi murders of our
Ambassador to Libya and three other brave Americans, the Justice Department’s
wide sweep of the Associated Press phone records and Fox News correspondent
James Rosen, only serve to re-enforce that mindset.
In conclusion, if the FBI decides
not to pursue this investigation, or add it to its current investigation of the
IRS, then it will be cast as just another "tool" of the hopelessly corrupt
federal government, a government that demands absolute compliance with the law
from the people, but then either ignores the law altogether, or selectively
follows or enforces certain laws that it deems worthy, or that supports its
un-constitutional, anti-American, [political] agenda.
In the end ….. "If the
government does not obey the law and determines it is above the law, then
America under the rule of law, no longer exists. The people will become
slaves to government tyranny and anarchy and/or revolution can be America’s only
future because some Americans will not go quietly into the night." Ron
