Armed IRS Agents Rounding Up Gun Purchase Records

[LRRPF52]

I often think about the Founders transported to our present times, trying to explain to them the current state of affairs.

Me: “Mr. President, the current White House occupant and his son have been engaged in many years of taking bribes from and affording liberties to our enemies, but I must say that many previous Presidents have done the same. They have a rather open money-laundering scheme in place where the President’s son and brother act as intermediaries using shell companies to receive millions of dollars in foreign bribes.”

Washington: “What financial sums are you referencing with these bribes?”

“Well, just one of them that came from the Russian former First Lady of Moscow and her international prostitution business was for $3.5 million dollars, which would be 101,273 dollars and 48 cents in 1789. The other bribes amount to at least $5 million. The Chinese have opened up open spending accounts for the President’s brother. These date back to the days when the President was in Senate and later Vice President. Meanwhile the rest of us live under constant threat of investigation by the IRS.”

Washington: “IRS?”

Me: “Oh yeah. Remember how you and the Continental Congress talked about the evils of taxation without representation and established the foundation for very limited taxation in Article I, Section 8? Well, under influence from the largest financial institutions in 1909-1913, they convinced Congress to draft and pass the 16th Amendment, which basically threw those restrictions on taxation without representation to the wind. The bill literally says Congress can levy taxes for whatever they want, whenever they want, with total disregard for the census, enumerated powers, or any apportionment among the States. Many States rejected the proposed amendment and refused to ratify it. They used the Revenue Bureau to enforce collection, which was initially only directed at businesses and high earners, but eventually expanded to cover everyone. They also stopped printing US Notes from the Treasury, and let these banks issue their own notes, which are lent to the United States with usury, which is of course a massive debt placed on the backs of the citizenry."

"After a series of scandalous and criminal misconduct by Revenue Bureau senior employees, including embezzlement and tax evasion, they re-named the Revenue Bureau the Internal Revenue Service to make it sound more palatable, then pretended it was as American as your Mount Vernon Apple Pie. The IRS regularly makes examples of people by raiding their homes and business like King George’s police used to do, armed like a military force. They even have been weaponized against political opponents to sitting Presidents, denying tax-exempt status for registered political action groups and auditing them for nothing more than dissent. Just a few weeks ago, they showed up to the door of a journalist and whistle-blower as he was testifying about criminal conduct of the current Justice Department before a Congressional Oversight Committee.”

Washington: “Justice Department?”

Me: “Yeah....remember that part-time Attorney General position you guys established in 1789 to provide legal advice to the President and Congress? Well, it grew just a smidgen.”

Washington: “I’m inferring from your tone a bit of sarcasm. Tell me, along with all these developments and permutations, what advances in weaponry have been made over the years? Show me where I may gain access to them.”
