IRS steals10 million medical records in CA

When I caught from The Hill this morning that the Dems are sleeping sounding, believing all is well in Obamacare regardless of the IRS kerfuffle, I simply started laughing myself silly.   No warrant required.

A growing chorus of Democratic leaders says the current controversy surrounding  the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) should have no effect on the agency’s work  implementing President Obama’s healthcare reform law.

A number of Republicans have said the recent revelation that IRS officials had  targeted conservative groups leaves the agency with no credibility as it  prepares to implement those parts of the reform law under its watch.

Courthouse News had a twitter out here that should put a bit of a chill down the Dems spine:

Class Calls IRS Rude, Crude and Abusive –  By the way, sign up and catch us on twitter @Bunkerville

DIEGO (CN) – A lurid but vague class action accuses corrupt and abusive IRS agents of stealing 10 million people’s medical records without a warrant – including “intimate medical records of every state judge in California.”

John Doe Company sued 15 John Doe IRS agents in Superior Court.

“In a case involving solely a tax matter involving a former employee of the company, these agents stole more than 60,000,000 medical records of more than 10,000,000 Americans, including at least 1,000,000 Californians.

“No search warrant authorized the seizure of these records; no subpoena authorized the seizure of these records; none of the 10,000,000 Americans were under any kind of known criminal or civil investigation and their medical records had no relevance whatsoever to the IRS search. IT personnel at the scene, a HIPPA [sic: recte HIPAA] facility warning on the building and the IT portion of the searched premises, and the company executives each warned the IRS agents of these privileged records.

The IRS agents ignored and discarded each of these warnings, ignored their own published and public-reliant rules and governing ethical requirements, and ignored the limitations of the court’s search warrant authorization, seizing the records under threat of destroying company property.” Full story at Courthouse News

Obama’s half brother illegal scam foundation- IRS approval in one month

When I saw the Drudge header IRS official Lerner approved exemption for Obama brother’s charity and that Obama’s half-brother got not-profit status in a month, I recalled I had done a couple of posts on this fine fellow. What the post doesn’t state that it was illegal in the State of Virginia. Not only that the IRS made it retroactive for three years.

The New York Post also reported that the foundation was not registered in Virginia at the time the article was written in May, despite a Virginia legal requirement that an organization register before soliciting donations in that state.

“Since one of the Obama Foundation’s founders and directors, Mr. Alton R. Baysden, stated publicly in May 2011 that the foundation had not even applied for tax-exempt status, it is inconceivable that the IRS can now claim that the status was granted in June 2011, retroactive to 2008,” Ken Boehm, the head of the National Legal and Policy Center, told WND.

GuideStar.org, the private website that posts for public view IRS documents regarding nonprofit organizations, said for the Barack H. Obama Foundation no audited financial statements were available.

Obama’s scam artist brother runs for Governor of Kenya

.. then let’s go down memory lane. Obama’s brother gets special tax treatment. Wander over for full coverage of the family tree. .

Malik Obama – a half-brother of Barack Obama – is running for a governor’s position in the country’s nationwide elections on Monday, though he said he’s not sure what impact his relationship to the American president has on his campaign.

AP

President Obama’s half-brother, who runs a foundation that collects funds in the United States, was able to get approval of a tax-exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service in an unheard-of time period of only a month, records reveal.

Barack Obama’s half-brother Abongo Malik Obama, also known as “Roy” Obama, appears to have received the sudden IRS approval to operate as a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization in only 30 days. The result was made retroactive for three years.

The Barack H. Obama Foundation, (Check out the link) which runs out of a commercial mail drop in Arlington, Va., has solicited tax-deductible contributions on the Internet since 2008.

The Foundation’s guiding principle:

The common denominator in all that the Foundation undertakes is the inherent belief that no man can truly enjoy the riches he has reaped if his neighbor suffers.

 

Smoking Gun: IRS gave out illegal info on Conservative Groups

It has been reported by numerous individuals that they came under investigation after becoming involved in Conservative causes. Audits became the potential outcome. Looking for the smoking gun?   News Alert brings us this:

After receiving the unapproved applications, ProPublica tried to determine why they had been sent. In emails, IRS spokespeople said ProPublica shouldn’t have received them.

“It has come to our attention that you are in receipt of application materials of organizations that have not been recognized by the IRS as tax-exempt,” wrote one spokeswoman, Michelle Eldridge. She cited a law saying that publishing unauthorized returns or return information was a felony punishable by a fine of up to $5,000 and imprisonment of up to five years, or both.

The same IRS office that deliberately targeted [1] conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status in the run-up to the 2012 election released nine pending confidential applications of conservative groups to ProPublica late last year [2].

The IRS did not respond to requests Monday following up about that release, and whether it had determined how the applications were sent to ProPublica.

 In response to a request for the applications for 67 different nonprofits last November, the Cincinnati office of the IRS sent ProPublica applications or documentation for 31 groups. Nine of those applications had not yet been approved—meaning they were not supposed to be made public. (We made six [2] of those [3] public, after redacting their financial information, deeming that they were newsworthy.)  More at  Propublica

Obama tells students ‘Ethics was not my favorite subject’

Two posts today. Jim, over at Asylum Watch has a must read. It is worth the full rant, but here is a piece of it. Our thief-in-chief President gives out the sound guidance on the topic of “Ethics”.

(CNSNews.com) — President Barack Obama told an audience of high school  in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday that he was “not always the very best student” and that ethics “would not have made it on the list” of his favorite subjects.

“I was not always the very best student that I could be when I was in high school, and certainly not when I was in middle school,” Obama said, speaking at Benjamin Banneker Academic High School.

“I did not love every class I took. I wasn’t always paying attention the way I should have,” Obama said. “I remember when I was in 8th grade I had to take a class called ethics. Now, ethics is about right and wrong, but if you’d ask me what my favorite subject was back in 8th grade, it was basketball. I don’t think ethics would have made it on the list.”

Oops! You are a slow learner, aren’t you, Mr. President? You should know by now that every time you go off script, you reveal your true colors. That you didn’t like “ethics” when you were in the eighth grade doesn’t surprise any of us on the political right. Your opinion on ethics has never changed, has it Mr. President?

While a Community Organizer and working with Acorn, ethics wasn’t important to you then, was it, Mr. President?

Your books about your life and that of your father are full of lies and distortions. That’s not ethical, Mr. President. By the way, Mr. President, who did write those books you took credit for writing? Taking credit for other people’s work is not ethical, Mr. President.

To win your first election in Chicago politics, your staff managed to unseal the divorce papers of your opponent. That wasn’t ethical, Mr. President. Read more here!

Judge Jeanine “Fact Blasts” Hillary & Obama Administration on Benghazi

The Judge rips it out of the park with a moving rendition of the failure of Obama and Benghazi. It is one of the best takes down, and I promise you will not be disappointed.

A comment left: “This is clearly the best synopsis of what has happened in the Benghazi fiasco that I’ve seen. Amazing job Judge Jeanine”!

 

CBS and ABC family linked to Obama and Benghazi

Take your pick of the headlines and links. Worried that the I.R.S. may have troubled the Tea Party folks? We should be worried that we even heard about it. Strange today that on Fox this morning, Tucker Carlson and the Fox staff as well has said nothing about this, even though the Daily Caller has the story on the front page.

President Obama’s deputy national security advisor, Ben Rhodes — brother of  CBS News president David Rhodes — was instrumental in changing the talking  points in September 2012.

ABC’s reporting revealed that Ben Rhodes, who has a masters in fiction from  NYU, called a meeting to discuss the talking points at the White House on  September 15, 2012.

Top Obama official’s brother is president of CBS News, may drop reporter over  Benghazi coverage

CBS News executives have reportedly expressed frustration with their own  reporter, Sharyl Attkisson, who has steadily covered the Obama administration’s  handling of the Benghazi terrorist attack in Libya since late last year.

“Network sources” told Politico Wednesday that CBS executives  feel Attkisson’s Benghazi coverage is bordering on advocacy, and Attkisson  “can’t get some of her stories on the air.” Read more:  Daily Caller

Then we have more, even Ben Sherwood at ABC is in the tank:

“CBS News President David Rhodes and ABC News President Ben Sherwood, both of  them have siblings that not only work at the White House, that not only work for  President Obama, but they work at the NSC on foreign policy issues directly  related to Benghazi.”

So stated political consultant and media commentator Richard Grenell on  Saturday’s Fox News Watch

For the record, Ben Sherwood’s sister, Dr. Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, is the Special Assistant to Barack Obama.

Obama gets rid of more Generals

Perhaps the story that more Generals are biting the dust will turn out to be as good a story as Benghazi and the IRS that broke this week. More importantly, the latest Generals to fall were involved in Africa, closer to the charade that is going on. Keep your eye on Carter Ham, if he decides to sing it is all over. Particularly of interest is to find out if Patraeus was being blackmailed to go along with the program under threat of dismissal. Perhaps he refused in the end to be a team player. Recall The Disappearing Generals post?

UPDATE: ADD They also reported on October 27, 2012 that Adm. Gaouette is being replaced by Rear Adm. Troy M. Shoemaker. The Navy stated that it was “replacing the admiral in command of an aircraft carrier strike group in the Middle East, pending the outcome of an internal investigation into undisclosed allegations of inappropriate judgment.”

What were the “inappropriate judgments” of these two decorated Military leaders? Rear Adm. John Kirby, the Navy’s chief spokesman, declined to discuss the investigation.

Back to the story:

Marine Gen. John Allen is planning to retire rather than be re-nominated for the powerful post of NATO supreme allied commander-Europe, after White House officials forced him to step aside, a source familiar with the discussions told Fox News on Wednesday:.

“He’s out,” the source said. “I know he is retiring. He was pushed out of the door.”  Read more: Fox News

And there is word that Gen. Mad Dog Mattis is stepping down from CENTCOM command due to questioning Obama’s handlers on Iran. Washington Free Beacon:

“Word on the national security street is that General James Mattis is being given the bum’s rush out of his job as commander of Central Command, and is being told to vacate his office several months earlier than planned.”

Beside them, It is stunning to me that over the course of the past four years, our military generals are being eliminated for one reason or another. This ongoing list includes from what I could find:

Gen. David Patraeus

Gen. David Mc Kiernan

Gen. Stanley Mc Crystal

Gen. Carter F. Ham

Now on to the latest:

Maj. Gen. Ralph Baker, commander of the Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa, was fired March 28, according to a Washington Defense official.

The command is headquartered in Djibouti and runs U.S. military operations in East Africa, including some counter-terrorism operations.

Baker, a two-star general, is appealing the firing, which was ordered by his boss, Gen. Carter Ham, the commanding general of all U.S. military operations across Africa. (Ham bites the dust the next month)

He was relieved of his duty for loss of confidence, three Defense officials told CNN.

It was second (third with Ham) embarrassing dismissal of a high ranking officer involved in the U.S. military hierarchy in Africa in five months.

Gen. William “Kip” Ward, the first four-star general to command U.S. military operations in Africa, was demoted for excessive spending from duty at U.S. Africa Command (Africom).

He lost one star and retired a lieutenant general. H/T: Red Flag News

Earlier post Top Military leaders new requirement- Williing to shoot Americans?

Anyone familiar with Obama’s radical background will find this Facebook post by author Jim Garrow as believable as it is terrifying. Garrow is a respected activist who was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for his work rescuing baby girls from one-child China. His source is “one of America’s foremost military heroes.”

I have just been informed by a former senior military leader that Obama is using a new “litmus test” in determining who will stay and who must go in his military leaders. Get ready to explode folks. “The new litmus test of leadership in the military is if they will fire on US citizens or not”. Those who will not are being removed.
