IRS hit with audit for mismanagement and fraud

Source: WTHR.com Indiana News

INDIANAPOLIS –

13 Investigates has learned the tables are turned on a federal agency feared for its ability to audit taxpayers. The IRS is now the focus of a year-long audit, thanks to federal employees who are blowing the whistle.

Howard Antelis does not look intimidating.

The soft-spoken, gray-haired Midwesterner wears khakis and drives an old SUV. He spends most of his free time on a softball diamond, playing with his dogs and delivering meals to the elderly.

But behind the laid-back, guy-next-door image is a longtime federal employee with a dogged personality and a tenacious sense of duty.

And right now, Howard might just be the IRS’s worst nightmare.

“I’m horrified and ashamed and embarrassed by what I’ve seen. It’s not supposed to be like this,” he told 13 Investigates. “We’re supposed to protect taxpayers, so somebody had to say something.”

Abuse and fraud

Howard is a tax examiner at the IRS’s ITIN processing center in Austin, Texas.

The large, unmarked building in south Austin is where the IRS decides whether to issue an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number to the millions of illegal immigrants who apply for them. An ITIN allows undocumented workers to file tax returns and pay taxes, a legal requirement for those who earn income in the United States … even those who come to the country illegally.

But 13 Investigates discovered the ITIN system is plagued by abuse and fraud.

A four-month Eyewitness News investigation documented how many illegal immigrants use ITINs to get tax credits and refunds they’re not entitled to. WTHR also exposed how millions of undocumented workers get their ITIN applications approved using phony documents.

The problems identified by 13 Investigates cost American taxpayers billions of dollars every year, according to a 2011 report from the U.S. Treasury Department’s Inspector General for Tax Administration.

After seeing WTHR’s investigations, Howard contacted 13 Investigates to say the problems inside the ITIN processing center are more serious and systemic than originally reported.

As the old cliché goes, sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. Empirical evidence proves the current financial crisis has been caused by an artificial intelligence. This artificial intelligence was born out of a monetary system that was not based in reality but was parasitical on reality.

That is why most trading on today’s financial markets is carried out by computers and not humans. That is why they are trying to remove all human traders from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. That is why the small human elite still living an astronomically rich life have been promoting the use of killer drones to replace human soldiers who are no longer obeying orders. That is also why so many youth reduced to slavery and drudgery by the elite are escaping into virtual reality.

Well, reality has struck back and dealt a fatal blow to the money matrix known to some as Satan.

As mentioned before, the intense media and even internet coverage of the “financial crisis,” or the “European crisis,” has consistently ignored the elephant in the living room. What has happened is that the people of the planet who make real things in the real world are no longer paying homage to the financial beast that Wall Street and the City of London, together with their Vatican brain-washers and Washington D.C. bully boys have morphed into.

Richard Russell: “A chapter of the world has come to an end.”

Richard Russell was recently interviewed by Eric King at King World News where he offered some extremely interesting comments.  Given the acceleration of events as we move into May, this is incredibly poignant and startling to hear out of such a well known financier.  Richard elaborates:

“I woke up this morning with the distinct feeling that a chapter of the world had come to an end.  I felt that a new world is being heralded.  What this means I don’t know.  The thought came out of my unconscious.  It haunted me all Sunday.  One chapter had come to an end, and a new one was starting.  The new chapter may be starting in China.”

 

Ron Paul absolutely dismantles Paul Krugman in less than 13 minutes

Paul Krugman had to pack his bags mid way through the slot, leaving Ron Paul for a solo interview.  Krugman didn’t have more than 13 minutes to spare out of his BUSY day?  You could see Ron Paul visibly licking his lips, chomping at the BIT to get his word in, while Krugman shakes, blushes, and doesn’t know where to look.  This is akin to the fate of many Mike Tyson victims.  1 round KNOCKOUT!  Who is ready to End The Fed?!

Confirmed: 2012 will be seen as the end of the the US Dollar as we know it

Being human is something one must practice to be good at.  To me part of being human is finding a world view that resonates with your higher self.  For me this manifests in a desire to understand systems, find patterns in the world, and self discovery.  Never would I have imagined 5 years ago the intellectual revolution my mind would undergo as a side effect of asking the simple question, “what is a dollar?”  In many ways, this question has brought me to a new understanding of myself, the planet earth and even reality itself.  Opening my mind to the esoteric world of high finance has taught me so much about political history, world history, the origins of man as well as the nature of commerce, freedom and private property.  In many ways this blog is an honor  to write because I feel that I become a conduit through which important information flows.  Even in my own small way, I believe I am channeling important information into a digestible format so that those who want to learn, can.   Though I get no pleasure out of being right about negative things, I feel I must mention those instances when I can because in the world of conspiracies corroboration, reliability, and fact checking are of utmost importance.

According to Jim Sinclair and Lindsey Graham, the U.S. Dollar is finished.  This mirrors my thoughts from an article written earlier this year entitled, “2012: The Fall of the US Dollar Hegemony,” which cites numerous geopolitical and economic developments signalling the end of the Dollar as the world reserve currency.  Among them being Iran’s decision to trade oil in Gold, Hugo Chavez repatriating his country’s gold, China and Russia’s international currency agreementU.S. financial sanctions on Iran, India and Japananese swap agreements, India and Iran settling in Rupees, and more!  The writing is on the wall, but now we are getting very confident declarations of “the end” by some of the world’s smartest prophets.

Jim Sinclair writes, “The supremacy of the US Dollar is Behind us“:

Dear CIGAs,

Brazil, Russia, India China and South Africa are meeting next week because of the use of SWIFT as a weapon of war. Expect the formation of a competitive SWIFT system in three blocks. The dollar will test .7200 USDX and fail on the third tap.

I have been doubted on many things, much of which has come to fruition. There was a time when $1650 in gold was considered the ludicrous dream of a madman.

2012 is the year that the US dollar will suffer from a significant drop in utilization as the international settlement currency. The utilization of the SWIFT system as a means of making war is the singular greatest mistake dollar managers have ever made.

Lindsey Graham says “2012 is the end of the Dollar”:
