James Mattis - Former Marine?

James Mattis [Former Marine]

In a highly appropriate open letter to James Mattis, 

John Dowd [a real Marine] chastises Mattis  
for his obeisance to the Left.

As we learned during our Military service, sometimes 

generals aren't worth the smoke they blow, and 
deserve to be reduced in grade to Private-E2.  

Mattis is more than a disappointment. 

It appears he has become a communist.

OPEN LETTER TO James Mattis 

[from John Dowd - a proud Marine]

Jim:

I slept on your statement and woke up appalled and upset. You lost me. Never dreamed you would let a bunch of hack politicians use your good name and reputation – earned with the blood and guts of young Marines.

You did what you said you would – engage in this discourse. Marines keep their word.

DC After MLK Riots 1968

The phony protesters near Lafayette park were not peaceful and are not real. They are terrorists using idle hate-filled students to burn and destroy. They were abusing and disrespecting the police when the police were preparing the area for the 1900 curfew. 

Jim, this is the new nihilism. 

Did you forget that President Bush used active duty Marines to quell the riots in LA? 

President Trump has countless cities and some snowflake governors and mayors wetting themselves in the use of force to protect innocent lives and property. 

The AG of Massachusetts thinks burning property is good protest. 

Three more policemen were stabbed and shot in NYC last night.

Think about it. 

Should he be upset about the obvious failure of leadership? 

Where are you Jim?

Marines go to the fight.

No one divided this country more than Obama. 

He abandoned our black brothers and sisters. 
He gave guns to the cartels. 
He  apologized for our precious sacrifice and generosity overseas. 

You remember, Obama fired you.

President Trump has done more to help our minority brothers and sisters in three years than anyone in the last fifty. 

Ask the black pastors. 
Ask the leaders of the black colleges and universities. 
He got them funded. 
Ask them about the prison reform which ended the draconian sentences imposed on young black men by the laws enacted by Biden and his hacks. 

You need to bone up on your homework and stop listening to Uncle Leon.

I understand, you had to stick to the assigned narrative which did not include three years of corrupt investigations and evidence to destroy the President, his office, and his lawful free election. 

Nancy has no tolerance for dissent in the ranks – including those with stars.

You said nothing of the ugly, hate filled, disgraceful comments of Pelosi, Schumer, Perez and other Democrat hacks defaming the President and his office. 

You said nothing of the unlawful sanctuary cities and the unlawful release of hoodlums. 

You said nothing of the resistance movement to paralyze our courts and our government operations. You said nothing of the obstruction and subversion of our immigration laws. 

You said nothing of MS-13 killers and the drug cartels who own huge sections of our major cities.

Jim, do you think that hateful rhetoric and those corrupt actions were inspiring and unifying? 

Do you think the DI's at Parris Island would find such behavior as unifying?

Maybe, your problem, is a lot deeper. 

Trump Ends Soleimani's Reign of Terror

Perhaps you ought to explain how and why you (and John Allen), as CG Central Command, did not engage and take out Iranian Major General Soleimani who roamed the Middle East and wreaked havoc and death of our American boys with his infamous IEDs?

Why did it take President Trump to have the instincts and balls to take him out 

(of course over the objection of the geniuses in the Pentagon)?

Looks like the Persian mullahs were a one horse sleigh and Trump nailed the horse . . . forever. 

It has been quiet ever since. 

Perhaps, your anger is borne of embarrassment for your own failure as the leader of Central Command. 

Did you applaud when the President recognized the central problem in the Middle East? 

Did you applaud the President when he wanted to save American lives by bringing them home in one piece?

New Weapon of Mass Destruction

Tragedy struck nearby recently.

Death from Fentanyl

The daughter of a friend overdosed [OD] on marijuana - laced with Fentanyl; her small daughter found her, comatose.

She was an attractive young lady whose boyfriend introduced her to marijuana, then to heroin, and on to other drugs.  She had "gone straight" after her last overdose, and it's possible, she was given Fentanyl in another substance; the end result was death.

She was in the health business and lost her job when she was found using her access to pharmaceuticals for her increasing habit. In the meantime, her boyfriend died of an overdose, leaving her with a small child to raise on her own.

The young woman had moved away from her hometown and extended family, probably to be with her boyfriend two states away, to avoid family pressure to give up drugs. Her mom begged her to come home where she and extended family could help care for the child, but, the young woman was adamant that she was "clean".

A Fentanyl Dose the size of a Sesame Seed
Can be inserted into a Marijuana Joint
and not be noticed

Given her heroin OD, it was obvious she was not clean.

Sadly, she had visited with us only a few weeks before her OD death.

Fentanyl did the trick, as it takes only a smidgen to kill - and it killed her in a flash; and even with immediate response by the EMT, no measure of could revive her, and she died in her mother's arms in the ICU, with her child in the next room.

The mom and her family remain  devastated, and heartbroken, but will come together to raise the child in a loving environment.







But the grandmom, who co-signed for her daughter's student loans, is now on the hook for those loans; although she's unemployed/retired with a minimal income, she can't file for bankruptcy due to the exclusion of student loan liability protected by the Dodd-Frank Consumer Financial Protection Act -- which protects banks and destroys consumers.  The Financial Protection clause of that act ensures that students - or their parents who declare bankruptcy are still liable for student loans.

What's our motive for publishing this?
The issue here ties to Trump's goal of building that Wall.
It won't block all the Illegals, and it will only partially block the flow of drugs into the US.
But, it will enable our Law Enforcement Community to deal it some crippling blows.

In the interim, it will likely block the massive amounts of drugs crossing our southern border in tractor trailers, cars, horseback, and backpack.  Among those drugs are Fentanyl, which can be blocked from entering overland; the Wall could possibly stifle the drug trade, or severely limit it.

Don't look to Congress to act anytime soon since it's fairly obvious that most of Congress are in the pockets of the drug lords. Worse, several of our recent Presidents and their families were controlled by the Cartels which bolstered their multi-million dollar bank accounts - not to speak of the spin-off criminal activities of Human Trafficking and Child Sex exploitation.

But, this drug problem is nothing new; it began in earnest in Vietnam with opium and heroin being transported regionally in those ubiquitous "Black Helicopters" with the drugs subsequently being transported to the US aboard USAF cargo aircraft and commercial ships, and even  having been inserted into the corpses of our dead GIs.

Hollywood introduced Marijuana as a "cultural issue" in a variety of very popular movies such as MASH and movies about cool kids in California high schools.


In fact, one of the most popular TV series was Weed, which popularized the use and sale of Marijuana and linkages to Mexican cartels as just a lot of fun - with a touch of danger.  And then, there was the wildly popular series, Breaking Bad, which rationalized the use of a broad scope of narcotics as a part of the US drug culture -- and a very profitable one.  Drug usage for our younger generations is not only "cool", it is Mandatory to fit in as one of the "In-Crowd".

A large percentage of our young and naive troops in Vietnam were introduced to Marijuana to relieve their boredom in remote outposts and to reduce their tension while waiting for the inevitable Viet Cong attack.  As the War progressed, more of our GIs partook, and the dealers began lacing the Marijuana with Heroin to ensure continued addiction by our troops when they returned to the US.  Back home, the former GIs were hooked and were ready customers for drug dealers selling boosted Marijuana, and leading to Heroin and Cocaine addiction.

Nearly 20 years later, no one can define
why our troops are in Afghanistan!

This narcotics consumption process continued to the present with hundreds of thousands of US troops  shipped to the Middle East to fight in the Bush/Clinton/Obama Middle East wars, the most recent of which continues in Afghanistan -- a key source of international heroin production and distribution.
[Otherwise, we remain bewildered at why our troops are deployed there]




Fast forward to today, after decades of Hollywood movies and Television programs extolling the virtues of Marijuana and Opiates as "Recreational Drugs",  the pressure was on to legalize "Medical Marijuana"; and, many states took that initiative.  The hook there was that Big Pharma lobbied state legislatures to create tight restrictions and massive amounts of paperwork to sell this Medical Marijuana, squeezing out the small medical Mom&Pop outlets who could neither staff their enterprises or manage all the paperwork involved to meet state requirements.

Today's marijuana, produced by the Pharmas is magnitudes greater in intensity than that which was popular in the 1960s, and now, it's laced with both heroin and Fentanyl -- the point is to eradicate our younger population as a functional element of our work force and overall population.

We'll get off our soap-box now.
If you know of any users, or families of users, feel free to pass our comments along; your kids, and our kids are not safe.

And our country is under assault with narcotics as the new Weapon of Mass Destruction.
Drugs like laced/boosted Marijuana reduce our workforce through elimination via drug testing; while more potent drugs [e.g., heroin] reduce the effectiveness and judgment of the mid-range executives managing financial institutions.

Ultimately, Fentanyl is poised to create massive damage to our water supply infrastructure, as only a small amount can contaminate millions of gallons of water.  This deadly substance is being carried across our southern border in amounts sufficient to cripple our major cities well ahead of any detection process -- and Congress is allowing this to happen by blocking the efforts of President Trump to close the border access to Illegals transporting this WMD.

Trump Blasts His Intel Chiefs as Naive

The Intelligence Community Seal

UPDATE: [31Jan2019] 
Senator Schumer has called for an "Intelligence Intervention of Trump" to "educate the President on issues of National Security."  This comes from the Democrat Party which routinely leaks highly classified and sensitive materials to CNN and other elements of the Press.  

More importantly, Schumer's inference is that he is setting the stage for the "impeachment" of the POTUS, implying that Trump is incapable of managing the Affairs of State.  Mr Trump made clear early on that he had no confidence whatever in the US Intelligence Community's judgment, based on the weaponization of the Intelligence products he had received before and after his Inauguration.
Importantly, Schumer's comments border on Treason, and issue which could backfire on his belligerence.

The POTUS, like any other Chief Executive [Private or Public sector], listens to his advisors and makes his decisions which includes their input.  
[Obama was notable for ignoring his Presidential Daily Brief and instead going to the Golf Course; he was also notable for going to Las Vegas to gamble in the midst of the Benghazi disaster.]

Yahoo News, by Dylan Sableford (Senior Editor)

According to the Yahoo News, President Trump has criticized his Intelligence Chiefs as "Extremely Passive and Naive" after they disagreed with his assessment of Iran as a "source of potential danger and conflict".   Trump also discounted their assessments of North Korea and ISIS as continuing to pose serious threats to the US.

This is not to say these managers are not professional and competent; it IS to say the organizations they manage, because of their histories and massive growth since 2001, no longer have the capability to produce objective, precision analysis - in a timely fashion.

Our opinion is based on roughly 50 years of experience operating in and around

 the Intelligence Community and LEC with Military Intelligence, CIA, DIA, NSA, 

DOJ, theFBI [including active roles as Analyst and Operations Manager, as 

Case Officer, Special Operations advisor, builder, instructor, and director of a 

national MilitaryIntelligence organization that trained over 1,000 units, 

Special Intelligence Advisorto the CG of Southern Command and to the 

CIA's DDO-LA, Director of Operations for the Defense Clandestine Service, 

and Editor of the (Intelligence) Black Book at  the Pentagon]. 

Our judgement is that Mr Trump is correct in doubting the ability of the current Intelligence Community to provide an accurate National Security assessment.  What he receives has no particular value.

The IC ranks are filled with programmed analysts who feed the current leadership the politicized drivel they’ve been forced to produce over the previous four Administrations.

This is a bloated, relatively incompetent bureaucracy, incapable of making objective assessments.

Now, what may have originally begun as an extremely accurate, objective assessment by an experienced and highly skilled analyst must currently  navigate through a dozen or more layers of politicized supervisory bureaucrats, altering content to meet the accepted political orientation of each layer.

By the time the modified assessment reaches the Director level, it has become worthless pablum, inoffensive to even the most mindless politician - and thus acceptable to brief the President.

Back in 2002, with Ed Meese, we redesigned the Intelligence Community and capped the entire IC at fewer than 10,000 for all the components, with no more than 100 staff for the newly created Director of National Intelligence [DNI] to replace the Director of Central Intelligence which had become an incompetent but all-powerful overseer of all the Intelligence organizations.

The DNI, as we envisioned it, would become a streamlined coordination point through which intelligence collection could be coordinated and assessments could be conducted in an open and collegial manner.

STU III

Previously, coordination of precision intelligence was routinely conducted over the Grey Phone
[aka: STU, or secure telephone unit] in which all levels of classified information could be discussed without fear of interception.

A collective call could bring in analysts from key agencies, complete with tasking and retrieval, and on the spot assessments -- to be translated into refined intelligence.

But, the last time we checked, the IC had swollen to nearly 900,000 underemployed drones cleared at the Top Secret level, staffing nearly 1,300 government organizations, supported by nearly 2,000 private companies in 10,000 locations, with a proposed budget of about $60 Billion.

Today, that same coordination would be either impossible, or would take weeks of coordination, and "oversight".

To clarify, supporting this monstrous behemoth, we calculate there is a core competency of about 10,000 superb analysts, operators, and support personnel whose professionalism and expertise carry the weight and expense of the other 890,000 non-essential employees.

These professionals can tap into the collection and analysis of experts in accessible organizations [e.g., NSA, DIA, or NRO] in order to add technical expertise to their assessments and operations.  Agencies such as NSA have highly sophisticated equipment which gathers an incredible amount of information, which is stored, but inadequately analyzed to become finished Intelligence.  Furnished to the right analysts, the information can serve to create accurate intelligence.


As a footnote, 
the IC is NOT composed of 17 agencies - as reported in the accompanying article which apparently uses Hillary Clinton or Senator Warner as its prime sources.

There are more than 1,000 organizations which collect, process, and contribute to a few actual agencies tasked with producing national Intelligence products.

These are:
1) CIA
2) DIA,
3) NSA [National Security Agency]
4) NRO [National Reconnaissance Office]
5) NGA [National Geospatial Intelligence Agency]

The DNI [Director of National Intelligence] is an Administrator - not an agency.

The following are not agencies, but are Intelligence subsets of Departments or other agencies
1) DOD/DHS
     a) Army
     b) Navy
     c) Air Force
     d) USMC
     e) USCG
     f) Secret Service [formerly under Treasury Department]
     g) ICE
     h) Customs & Border Protection
     i)  TSA

2) Treasury Department [Intelligence Bureau; Secret Service]
3) Energy Department [Office of Intelligence and Counterintelligence]
4) Department of Justice
    a) FBI
    b) DEA
    c)  ATF
5) Commerce Department [Intelligence Bureau]
6) State Department [Bureau of Intelligence and Research (INR)]

There are a few other highly specialized organizations which conduct unique programs; but, those are not officially part of the Intelligence Community.

 In summary, Trump is correct in his assessment of the IC chiefs who are Administrators, and not experienced operators or analysts.

Mr Trump is better served by outside organizations which specialize in collecting and analyzing Intelligence on specific areas and topics pending a complete revamping of the Intelligence Community.

DeVos under Attack

As She Attempts to return the Rule of Law To Our Education System
Prepare for the Leftist Media Attack on DeVos

We feel the following reprint of a New York Post article deserves wider distribution.

Hats off to both Betsy DeVos and to NYP journalist Rich Lowry.

Click here for original article
NY Post 31AUG2018 [comments.lowry@nationalreview.com]

A judicial process that doesn’t allow the accused to cross-examine his accuser or reliably see the evidence against him is a civil libertarian’s nightmare. It traduces every principle of fairness and is blatantly un-American.

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos intends to remedy this abomination, but will be savaged by the Left for replacing just such a process with something more in keeping with our Constitutional legal norms.

The Education Department is preparing new rules that would roll back the monstrously unfair Obama-era requirements for how colleges handle sexual-assault and harassment allegations. It will be a significant advance for due process, which is almost as out of style on campus as free speech.




In one of its least defensible actions, the Obama Administration used its Office for Civil Rights to impose its preferred procedures for handling sexual-assault cases on all the universities in the country that receive federal funds; it did so via a 19-page “Dear Colleague” letter, in the name of Title IX, the provision in federal law prohibiting sexual discrimination in education.

Watch Closely as I Destroy the Constitution

The Obama process was terrible, blowing right past the Administrative Procedure Act, which requires public notice and comment before such rules go into effect.


And the substance was worse.


The letter reads as if it were written by inflamed activists who had no interest in balanced proceedings – and it was.



1) It required colleges to adopt a “preponderance of evidence” standard
rather than a “clear and convincing” standard.

2) It essentially forbade colleges from allowing the cross-examination of accusers.

3) It adopted a remarkably broad definition of sexual harassment to include “unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal, nonverbal, or physical conduct of a sexual nature.”

4) It also encouraged the use of a “single investigator-adjudicator system,”
i.e., a single person as investigator, judge and jury.

The Obama rules ignore central developments in 

Anglo-American justice that arose hundreds of years ago! 

 In their important book “The Campus Rape Frenzy” KC Johnson and Stuart Taylor Jr. describe how the rules often played out:

“Start with an alcohol-soaked set of facts that 

no state’s criminal law would consider sexual assault. 

Add an incomplete ‘investigation,’ unfair procedures, and a 

disciplinary panel uninterested in evidence of innocence. 

Stir in a “de facto” presumption of guilt based on misguided 

Obama Administration dictates, ideological zeal, and fear of bad publicity.” 

The result inevitably, has been horrific miscarriages of justice.

Everyone should want perpetrators of sexual assault to be punished — and in the criminal-justice system, not just by colleges — but elementary protections for the accused cannot be discarded in the process.

One reason the Obama rules were so lopsided is that they were crafted in an atmosphere of moral panic – assuming a spiraling epidemic of sexual assault on campus.



To the contrary, Taylor and Johnson note that sexual assaults of female college students
had dropped by more than 50% between 1997 and 2013,

-- and that young women in college are less likely to be assaulted than those who are not in college. 






The Obama rules have been battered in the courts, where due process is still taken seriously.

A US District Court judge wrote in a 2016 ruling against Brandeis University:

 “If a college student is to be marked for life as a sexual predator, 

it is reasonable to require that he be provided a fair opportunity t

o defend himself and an impartial arbiter to make that decision. 

Put simply, a fair determination of the facts requires a fair process, 

not tilted to favor a particular outcome, and a fair and neutral fact-finder, 

not predisposed to reach a particular conclusion.” 

This is the animating spirit behind the DeVos changes.

 They are still being formulated, but a New York Times report suggests that they will correct the worst excesses of the Obama rules and interject fairness into proceedings that were, shamefully, designed to lack it.

Editorial Note:

Disbarred and prosecuted for
Criminal Actions as District Attorney

We have watched such legal abominations during the Obama years destroy the lives of college students who have been given no recourse to senseless and groundless allegations, with no rationale other than the accuser had just broken up with a boyfriend and wanted to see him suffer; or, in the case of a hooker in Durham, NC, claiming that she was assaulted by an entire LaCrosse Team --  a case elevated to and prosecuted in a local court, with the District Attorney later disbarred for concealing exculpatory evidence, to include DNA samples plus testimony by the hooker's associates who stated the hooker bragged to them that she had lied about the entire event -- she had only been hired to dance at a team victory party!

Under the Obama Administration, the Rule of Law was replaced by Political Hysteria!
We presume that the Left will use every extreme tact

IRS and Congressional Insider Trading?

Testimony on Congressman Collins Insider Trading

This blog post is an extract from a NY Post story by John Crudele.  

We've made a few edits to keep it short, but the basics are all included.  

We highly recommend you read the entire story at the link below.  

Crudele advises he was able to vet the Whistle-blower, 

and is satisfied the story is accurate.

For full story, click here
New York Post,  John Crudele [15AUG2018] 

Ever wonder how a Congressman or Senator [or IRS official]

who earns less than $200,000 per year, 

can have an annual income of several million dollars, 

and retire into a lifetime of extraordinary wealth?

John Crudele explains below:

The IRS reportedly tipped off members of Congress to corporate takeovers and other pending actions so the elected officials could profit from Insider Trading.  Allegedly, higher-level employees of the IRS also used that information to enrich themselves.

[Congressman Christopher Collins testified that an indicted Congressman talked others into buying a pharmaceutical stock and pushed legislation to help it; his son's girlfriend was just nailed on Insider Trading charges.]

Until a few years ago Members of Congress were not barred from trading stock based on information they got while performing their public duties. However, following scandalous headlines in 2012
[you remember, when the News Media was credible], the practice was officially banned.

Mrs Peter Strzok -
Deputy Director -  SEC Enforcement

Interestingly, a page left unturned in this scandal is the one in which the wife of Peter Strzok [Melissa Hodgman] is the Deputy Director of the Securities & Exchange Commission Enforcement Division.

One might guess that in addition to blocking investigations into Hillary Clinton's money laundering schemes, Melissa might also have blocked inquiries into Congressional Insider Trading in exchange for Congress supporting Strzok's illegal activities and ignoring the criminal activities of senior officials at the DOJ and FBI.

It was assumed that Members of Congress were just profiting from what they happened to learn while working on their Committees — e.g., perhaps a drug about to be turned down by the FDA,  or that a company was exploring to see how regulators would feel about a merger.

However, what the Whistleblower alleges goes well beyond that.
[ The Chris Collins story provides further details on Congressional Insider trading ]

Did the Whistleblower report his findings to "authorities"?
He did, but was told to "get lost".  Apparently Congress was making too much personal profit to have some reported blow their illegal enterprises.

[Ever wonder why no criminal charges were brought against Lois Lerner?]

Chief IRS Scoundrel
Unprosecuted Sacrificial Lamb

According to the the Whistleblower, the IRS made their own illegal operation "legal".
“In 2003-05 an official Memo was created within the IRS  noting who was permitted to participate in ‘insider trading’. The memo noted that all IRS employees in the executive branch and those one step below (territory managers, etc.) were permitted to participate. I was below that rank by one step, i.e., a large-case manager at the IRS.  However, as my evaluation showed, I was expected to inform my manager of any and all mergers.” 

In fact, the Whistleblower says he was fired for not doing so and was later the subject of retaliation. That was a lot of years ago. And the only people who could properly look into something like this — and hopefully determine that it couldn’t possibly be true — would be in the IRS Inspector General’s  [TIG] Office of the IRS. That’s who is supposed to investigate allegations of wrongdoing.

So, Crudele called the IRS Inspector General’s media contact, planning to give them the information, and perhaps the IG could convince the Whistleblower to come forward or obtain more details in exchange for Crudele's getting an exclusive on the story if the allegations were verified.

Crudele's exchange with the IG’s spokeswoman was unexpected:.

IG Spokeswoman:  “Concerning..?”

Crudele: "A tip from a reader of mine about IRS wrongdoing”

IG Spokeswoman: “We get those on a regular basis; tell the tipster to contact the IRS Hotline.

Crudele:  "The tipster doesn't wish to do that"

IG Spokeswoman:   “All complaints are taken very seriously.” 

Crudele:  “Is there an insider trading exemption for officials in the IRS?” 

IG Spokeswoman: [Crudele advised] she said there wasn’t such an exemption and sent him a brochure.
“Once again, thank you for contacting us. Let me know if we can help further”

Crudele:  “I’m amazed at the lack of cooperation I am getting from you” commented, criticizing her laziness before finishing with “have a nice weekend".

IG Spokeswoman: “On background, we sorry you feel that way. We are not lazy…just careful”

Mergers & Acquisitions
Insider Information = Big Bucks

Crudele continued the Whistle-blower's story [details were excluded to protect his identity]:

“So then one day I was informed of a merger between (two big companies), I was the Case Manager on that audit; I refused to inform my manager.  Well, that was a sad day for my career.  He (the manager) first produced a memo and then suspended me for failing to inform him of the merger so he could tell his supervisor.  It seemed that the supervisor had planned to pay off his home mortgage with the merger information to the tune of $1 million plus.” 

"There’s something you need to understand. The IRS places its workers permanently inside many companies where they continually receive privileged information while doing audits. So there’s plenty of money-making tips to go around.  In addition my supervisor had planned on informing his manager who then could contact members of Congress so they could invest and profit from this information,.  It was a way of securing a comfortable job on one of the boards like the Smithsonian once they retired.”

Crudele advises: 
Consider how many individuals could have had access to this information and profited while the average American is told that it is “illegal.” The Whistleblower says he was pushed out of the IRS in 2004 and charges — trumped-up ones, he says — were brought against him. But he wouldn’t be surprised if this insider trading continued.

According to the Whistle-blower:
“Unfortunately I doubt that this has stopped. One cannot allow this to take place and then suddenly end it.  These individuals had planned and budgeted for these events to fund their lifestyle. That type of income generator just does not end.  It’s always hard to take away perks from employees. Just try stopping the free coffee at your office."

“On a final note, which you may find of interest, my previous manager had assigned another manager to [a highly prized international] office for two years because she gave him numerous inside information tips."

Assuming Mr Crudele's story of IRS corruption alarms you, you will appreciate his parallel tale of Congressional Insider Trading based on confidential information presented in Committee Hearings.

Mr Trump's "Draining of the Swamp" comes none too soon, and it will create some soon-to-be impoverished Congressfolk who have lived large off their corrupt practices -- but will likely face prosecution and substantial legal bills this Fall.

----

Editorial Note:

We concur with Mr Crudele's story since we are somewhat aware that the IRS has not been pure as the driven snow; so, his tale of corruption comes as no surprise.   

We are also gratified for confirmation on just how corrupt our bureaucrats, and politicians [of both Parties] are, and how they've gotten wealthy through their corruption; it might also explain why we so much inaction on their part in pursuing the corruption of government bureaucrats and law enforcement officials.

During our post-IC career, one contractor told much the same story based on his consulting time with the IRS.  Among his lurid tales were IRS rooms full of tax returns which employees dutifully were flushing down toilets; and, then there was a unique scam the IRS operated in which they sent out a computerized letter advising taxpayers in the upper-six figure income range that they had underpaid by $800 to $1,800, correctly assuming that the victims would simply pay the extra rather than waste time reviewing their taxes or fighting the penalty. 
[We were one of those unsuspecting victims in 1997, and we paid the extra $800.]

We were also targeted by Lois Lerner's team, apparently purely out of spite since we have not been involved in a PAC, although we do admit to being a bit Conservative.  We fought back, threatening to bring the case public and to Congress during the Lerner hearings, and the IRS relented.

Finally, recognize that the IRS [and FBI] places their officers in US Embassies around the world, as part of the Country Team [Ambassador, CIA Station Chief, Defense, Political/Commercial, Economic, Agricultural Attache's] - each privy to sensitive Intelligence briefings on country and regional political and financial issues.  Officially, the IRS Advisor role is to ensure US citizens and companies operating abroad pay their taxes.  However, passing along sensitive Intelligence information to friends and supervisors is likely part of the abuse of the access the Whistleblower above has reported.

  [By: Discover The Networks]
  
  
  BACKGROUND:
  George Soros directly funded the following organizations using his Open Society Foundations (OSF); 
  
  interestingly, the organization was recently hacked and 2,500 files were posted on-line.  
  
  
  

  

  Ticket Puncher

  
  The files document Soros manipulating elections in Europe.
  
  The files include emails from former NATO USAF General Philip Breedlove revealing that he coordinated with then-President Obama to create a conflict with Russia to justify NATO's role in Europe. 
  
  The files also documented that the leak of the Panama Papers was a project to attack Russia and President Putin.
  
  
  

  
  
  
  Notably, the "spontaneous" demonstrations against Trump frequently are generated by one or more of these Soros organizations which also provide anarchist demonstrators.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  • Advancement Project: Works to organize "communities of color" into politically cohesive units while disseminating its worldviews and values as broadly as possible by way of a sophisticated communications department.
  
  
  • Al-Haq: This NGO produces highly politicized reports, papers, books, and legal analyses regarding alleged Israeli human-rights abuses committed against Palestinians.
  • 
    
  • All of Us or None: This organization seeks to change voting laws -- which vary from state to state -- so as to allow ex-inmates, parolees, and even current inmates to cast their ballots in political elections.
  • 
    
  • Alliance for Justice: Best known for its activism vis a vis the appointment of federal judges, this group consistently depicts Republican judicial nominees as "extremists."
  • 
    
  • America Coming Together: Soros played a major role in creating this group, whose purpose was to coordinate and organize pro-Democrat voter-mobilization programs.
  • 
    
  • America Votes: Soros also played a major role in creating this group, whose get-out-the-vote campaigns targeted likely Democratic voters.
