IRS is the NEW
'Halfway house' for Rehabilitating Criminal Federal Employees
IRS rehires more than 200 previously fired employees who have been convicted of crimes or participated in the discrimination against conservative political organizations.
The Daily Signal article below shows that the IRS is a criminal agency that hires criminals! So, the IRS is a 'halfway house' for criminal government employees!
Governor William J. Le Petomane:
"We've gotta protect our phoney baloney jobs, gentlemen!" Blazing Saddles, 1974
It's rather strange today that estimates show fully 30% of all elected officials and government employees would NOT have passed a Background Check for the offices held
if employment application forms of the 1950s through the 1970s were used today. The federal government is riddled with appointees and employees who are risks to national security leaking
secret information and forming alliances with potential enemies who are only prevented from attacking America by our armed forces. These federal elected officials and employees
are supported by some organizations that threaten America's Constitution and our entire way of life. The future with 50% of Millenials indicating that they favor Socialism and
Collectivism over Capitalism and Individualism is bleak.
Venezuela(also)
is experiencing, right now, the effect of Socialism that the Millenials (and AntiFa) ignorantly feel is so desirable. If one argues against Socialism, then the Socialist will ridicule and verbally
abuse you, but the arguer will not hear a viable counter to his view from the Socialist.
While politics, in general, is and has been the source of really dirty tricks and salacious rumors, Democrats appear to be the nastiest of all along with the
Establishment Republicans and RINOs in the Senate led by the greatest progessive RINO of all, Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. If one has power, one will do anything to maintain that
power. Fortunately, U.S. Senators and Representatives can be removed from power in elections.

[Editor's Note: I might replace the word 'liberal' in the last quote with 'Marxist'
to fit today's liberal who subverts every move by Americans that want to maintain our freedom.]

from a citizen's pockets to pay for Illegal Aliens and the many fraudulent, wasteful agencies.
Recommendations
I recommend two (2) movies for interested viewers. If Democrat voters (or any voter) want to understand what is wrong with their
party, I recommend a documentary movie that contains a completely corroborated history of the Democrat Party. The documentary's title is:
Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party. The documentary was produced by Dinesh D'Souza who was 'railroaded' by the Obama Administration into a
kangaroo court controlled by a corrupt judge and sentenced to prison for producing another documentary,
2016: Obama's America. All FACTS presented in these documentaries are the historical evidence of the failure of the Democrat Party although the Democrats have many allies that support these Communist/Socialist attempts to destroy
America, and no group of FAKE NEWS companies can deny the FACTS.
While America has a Constitution that guarantees freedom of speech, it doesn't guarantee an everyday political education. If Americans believe in their freedoms guaranteed by the
Bill of Rights, if Americans believe that Capitalism is the greatest creator of individual wealth the world has ever experienced (historical facts prove this assertion), then Americans
should know the people and organizations who want to destroy America from within. Therefore, the best documentary available that exposes and identifies these enemies who have grown
much stronger since the Russian Revolution is The Enemies Within.
Also near the end of The Enemies Within documentary, the video requests that citizens call their Senators and Representatives (those NOT affiliated with the Muslim
Brotherhood and other subversive Marxist organizations) to support
S. 68: Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act of 2017 and
H.R. 377: Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act of 2017.
After watching the video, you will clearly understand why the Muslim Brotherhood is trying to destroy America from within. Many current Representatives and Senators are affiliated with persons
and organizations whose precepts, behavior, and speech are as Marxist as Vladimir Lenin without identifying themselves as Marxist. One of these organizations has infiltrated America like a final
stage cancer. These un-American organizations must be excised like a massive tumor. This is NOT McCarthyism since you will SEE and UNDERSTAND the evidence presented in the video.

For one of the most punitive agencies in the federal government, the IRS sure is forgiving with its own employees.
This week, Rep. Kristi Noem, R-S.D., proposed a bill that would prevent the IRS from rehiring employees fired for misconduct or poor performance. The
bill, titled the Ensuring Integrity in the IRS Workforce Act, follows a recent Treasury inspector general report that shows the IRS rehired more
than 200 fired workers in a little over a year. A previous inspector general report proves this problem dates back to at least 2009.
According to the Treasury Department�s inspector general, the IRS did not provide officials responsible for hiring decisions with information about
employment history, though that information is readily available. As a result, the IRS�an agency with nearly unrivaled access to citizens� personal information
and capacity to harass individual taxpayers�rehired:
A fired worker with several misdemeanor theft convictions and one count of felony possession of a forgery device.
11 employees previously disciplined for unauthorized access to taxpayer accounts.
An employee who was absent without leave for 270 hours�the equivalent of 33 work days.
An employee fired for physically threatening co-workers.
An employee fired for lying about previous criminal convictions on employment forms.
17 employees previously caught falsifying official documents.
Often, these employees do not have to wait long to get their old offices back. Two IRS employees fired for poor performance were rehired within six months.
[Editor's Note:
The characterization of government employees as "SWAMP" is absolutely correct. If you're a government employee, you need not worry about working hard,
learning new things, or getting fired for non-performance or even criminal activity. If you are a union member, you are covered. Even if you aren't a union
member, the government in its infinite wisdom has created at least three more bureaucracies that make the termination of a government employee a virtual
impossibility. This means that no one is responsible for their behavior if employed by the federal government. What a wonderful, beautiful, protected
environment�protected by the womb of government. Why perform or do anything correctly or in a timely fashion? Surely one could lose their self-respect in
such a life indemnified against any failure.
]
Faced with these findings, the IRS was unapologetic. In a response letter to the Inspector General�s Office, the IRS� chief human capital officer wrote that
the IRS �determined its current process is more than adequate to mitigate any risks to American taxpayers, federal agencies, and its employees.�
Given that the IRS refuses to change its hiring process, swift congressional action is necessary. And Noem�s bill has a good chance to pass. In fact, a
previous version of this legislation passed the House, 345-78, a little more than two years ago.
These inspector general reports and the IRS� response are especially disturbing given the IRS� extraordinary power over citizens. No department or agency
should be able to rehire employees fired for misconduct or poor performance. Future legislation should make federal employees non-hirable throughout the
federal government.
This may sound unduly harsh. After all, like private-sector managers, federal managers sometimes may be unfairly critical toward employees that rub them
the wrong way. But, unlike in the private sector, there are multiple safeguards in place to prevent wrongful terminations.
Fired federal employees have four separate agencies to help them challenge a termination. In many cases, an employee can have multiple agencies review
their case one after another. Thorough to the point of absurdity, this complicated process of appeals (which I describe here) can tie up managers, arbitrators,
and administrative judges for years.
Given the incredibly high burden of firing one employee, many managers choose to ignore problem employees as long as possible. A recent survey found
only 44 percent of federal employees agree that �steps are taken to deal with a poor performer who cannot or will not improve� in their workplace. On average,
the federal government fires about 10,000 employees a year out of a workforce of 2.1 million.
In other words, one in every 200 federal employees is fired in a given year. Only state and local education employees have greater job security.
Given their rarity, it�s safe to assume that pink slips are well earned in the federal workforce. Recipients of this dubious distinction have gotten all the second
chances they deserve. When federal employees are shown the door, they should not be let back in.
Noem�s legislation is a long-overdue correction to federal personnel practices tailored to fit workers, rather than meet the mission.
[Editor's Note:
The above example is only one of the many federal government agencies that should be eliminated by CONgress in a MASS REPEAL Act that lists as many as
50-100 obsolete agencies that WASTE or by FRAUD steal from citizens while our "representatives" pass Bills to fund them. These agencies will continue to execute
their own laws, "independent" of both the CONgress and the President/Executive Branch.
The IRS is UNNECESSARY! Yes, unnecessary! Currently, every cash register in brick & mortar stores and every site on the internet extracts sales tax from
consumers who buy the necessities and frivolities of life. The CONgress (in its infinite wisdom) should pass a resolution to repeal the Constitution's 16th
Amendment, disband the IRS, and fire or transfer all of its employees to other endeavors. Sales Tax is the most efficient, least costly method of funding government.
Just think, no citizen's door will get kicked in at 2 AM to have his/her computers confiscated. No citizen's bank account will be frozen. No citizen's house or car
will be seized. No citizen's business will be looted anymore.
Then, if the CONgress repealed the laws that created at least 100 of the currently obsolete agencies and/or combine and streamline agencies that have similar
missions, the federal government could get by with a 10-15% sales tax collected just like State sales taxes are collected today. This is the fairest method of
funding government. Citizens will continue to buy goods and services, albeit with a little more consideration of need, and the government can continue performing
its NECESSARY functions.

For the fifth labor, Eurystheus ordered Hercules to clean up King Augeas' stables. Hercules knew this job would mean getting dirty and smelly, but sometimes even a hero has to do these things. Then Eurystheus made Hercules' task even harder: he had to clean up after the cattle of Augeas in a single day.
Now King Augeas owned more cattle than anyone in Greece. Some say that he was a son of one of the great gods, and others that he was a son of a mortal; whosever son he was, Augeas was very rich, and he had many herds of cows, bulls, goats, sheep and horses.
[Editor's Note:
Was Hercules's task similar to "draining the SWAMP"? A Swamp smells like a stable, right? Purely coincidental but doesn't Hercules look a little like Trump in the above image,
yes?

A Note for our Readers:
Trust in the mainstream media is at a historic low�and rightfully so given the behavior of many journalists in Washington, D.C.
Ever since Donald Trump was elected president, it is painfully clear that the mainstream media covers liberals glowingly and conservatives critically.
Now journalists spread false, negative rumors about President Trump before any evidence is even produced.
Americans need an alternative to the mainstream media. That�s why The Daily Signal exists.
The Daily Signal�s mission is to give Americans the real, unvarnished truth about what is happening in Washington and what must be done to save our country.
Our dedicated team of more than 100 journalists and policy experts rely on the financial support of patriots like you.
Your donation helps us fight for access to our nation�s leaders and report the facts.
You deserve the truth about what�s going on in Washington.
[Editor's Note:
My inductively reasoned theory about government corruption is true based on observations and evidence collected over
40 years. Corruption: Today's Standard
is, in fact, government's modus operandi. Information is classified and not released to the public because such information
would expose both corruption and incompetence. These failures cannot be stopped because agencies cannot be controlled.
CONgress, the overseers, are overcome by the massive daily, weekly, monthly, and annual failures of their boondoggled
creations. Fifty percent of government today is unnecessary, fifty percent of employees are unnecessary. These clowns
live in their protected environment where they can't be fired except for insubordination and treason (only when exposed).
Private sector companies wold have fired these people long ago. They would just be a bad memory!
The above example of subversion within our federal government is but one example. Many agencies and sub-agencies of the esitmated total of
430 are fraudulently subverting and scamming
CONgress and, therefore, citizens into funding these agencies that are opposed to the American way of life. The fact that these agencies even exist is evidence
of the Socialist influence in the federal government. Guess whose pockets get the money? The supposed goal is to equally distribute the wealth earned by citizens
to the less fortunate or indolent and languid Americans or Illegals Aliens—to spread the wealth and create a "fair" environment. Anyone who knows anything
about Socialism knows that the end result of such a government is always failure. Collectivism fails when the Individual realizes that he is working for the
government's authoritarian cronies disguised as the "greater good". Those Socialist governments that still exist today have pockets of Capitalism (that produces),
Black Markets, and annual growth rates of 0-1% per annum. Today's China is more Capitalist than the U.S., and the government is Communist at the top with little
intervention in the economies of cities throughout the country. Capitalist workers economically support the parasitic government(s) that waste money starting wars.
THE ONLY WAY TO END AMERICA'S SUBVERSION IS (drum roll) ELIMINATE THE AGENCIES BY REPEALING THE LAWS THAT CREATED THEM.

Joseph Story, Supreme Court Justice ... when the court wasn't part of the L-E-J Cabal
Joseph Story (1779�1845) was born during the American Revolution, and came of age in the early years of the new United States of America. He was a scholar of the U.S. Constitution, and, eventually helped found the Harvard Law School.
In 1811, Story was appointed to the Supreme Court by President James Madison — who knew a few things about the U.S. Constitution, in that he helped write it. Story was a contemporary of another famous member of the Supreme Court, Chief Justice John Marshall (1755�1835).
"The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them."

[Editor's Note: what I have dubbed the "Legislative-Executive-Judicial Cabal" which the American People have caused by ignoring the generational transition from our Constitutional Republic to what now is, in effect, an "elected" dictatorship. Never mind who is elected. Never mind which bogus party is in power. The superficial, theatrically staged, choreographed appearance of debate, disagreement, and stalled legislation always resolves into more government and less FREEDOM. We the People still lose more freedom after every "emergency" or unnoticeably when CON-gress passes another general, open-ended law that enables the Executive (dictator) and its unaccountable agencies to formulate more freedom-restricting regulations (200 pages a day get posted to the Federal Register). The "Dictator's" agencies (police force) continue to pile-up more weapons to squelch uprising(s) when the People finally realize and understand their tyrannical government.
Currently, CONgress is just a group of socialists, progressives, and faux-conservatives (career politicians) that, on a daily basis, ignores the Constitution, many of their own past statutes, and cedes their responsibilities to the president ("elected" dictator). A comparison to the history of Rome becomes more and more credible with the Executive and its "featherbedded" lackeys gaining more power while CONgress sits back all fat-dumb-and-happy.
CONgress has made recent efforts to expose State Dept. failures in Benghazi (inept political leader), Fast-and-Furious gun-running (criminal AG), IRS 1st amendment violations, gov't union Veterans Administration fraud, and whining about Obama(Reid)-killer-Care, but these efforts are mostly politics as usual. Most "citizens" will forget about these infringements from our unaccountable, uncontrollable Executive branch with its tyrannical agencies staffed by socialist unions that extort "juicy" contracts from the "elected" dictatorship.
Most positions in the federal government whether elected, appointed, or hired are nominal, make-work jobs (confidentially) designed merely to grow government, bilk money from private businesses and citizens, and eventually fully transform America into a totalitarian state. When this happens, CONgress will have destroyed the economy and the country by their negligence and counter-liberty policies, and it will be almost impossible to Restore America. The 'Restore America' list is only a beginning too.]
"The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny."
James Madison, Federalist Paper 47, Friday, February 1, 1788

[Editor's Note: a Constitutional Convention is required to reverse the damage to freedom and liberty since 1900. This Article V was ratified by the participants at America's founding Constitutional Convention as an alternate path for repairing damage to freedom and liberty, a path for the People to restore damage caused by our failed representatives in the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches of a government designed to represent the wishes of We the People.
The States must "demand" a Convention and explicitly specify an agenda of:
laws to be repealed or modified,
Amendments to existing constitutional clauses that define the co-equal branches to further specify and define, and
new Amendments or statutes to be eventually ratified by States.
These Amendments should further specify and clarify the powers of the Legislature and Executive Branches. A good example is the definition of a "Bill".
A Bill should contain ONLY verbiage in regards to the topic of the future law. NO earmarks and NO unrelated sections or attacments.
Many past Bills sent to a president for signature contained unrelated but essential funding sections that rendered the Bill veto-proof when it warranted a veto.
CON-gress can override a veto if the Bill is deemed absolutely necessary by CON-gress.
If the Bill requires SPECIFICALLY related amendments, the CON-gress can "debate" (with its usual theater) and vote any new amendments.
The original text of the Constitution contains some very GENERAL clauses enabling both CON-gress and Executive branches to write laws and
regulations with their particular nuances expanding powers beyond intent. "Intent" may be gleaned from a complete understanding of
Federalist Papers.
An example of further specification and clarity for CON-gress should be a clear, very specific definition of the boundaries for the interstate Commerce Clause.
To restore freedom, liberty, and individuality - minimally these must be repealed:
Currently, even with computer-searching systems, the list of antiquated and/or obsolete statutes (and related regulations) is unwieldy.
These statutes must be invalidated unless there remains an applicable reason for retaining the law(s).
Aside from invalidating statutes, there are many regulations that are biased in favor of large enterprises (who buy support from bureaucrats)
at the expense of the competition, effectively repressing the Free Market. Any regulations not related to public safety that gives a financial advantage
to some companies over their smaller rivals must be rescinded to enable all companies with good consumer products to excel without burdensome regulations.
Additionally, the Convention should adopt for ratification at least these new Amendments or statute modifications:
clearly define and limit the role of government in regards to the term "general welfare",
Term Limits for CON-gress (12 years) including a 6 month limit on time residing in DC,
strict Prohibition of Lobbying (with a comprehensive definition of "lobbying"), and
a Balanced Budget Amendment to stop wreckless spending. During a CON-gressionally declared "war" (only after USA is attacked or attack is proven "imminent"),
deficit spending is permissible.
Restore America to its roots, i.e. Defense, State, Treasury, and Justice. Some Agencies are required like CIA and NSA, both respectively focused on defense against real foreign aggressors and not fictitious paranoid delusions of war mongers. Other agencies help where certain interstate communications are necessary. Most agencies like Agriculture, Education, DEA, IRS (eliminated with 16th Amendment) and many other listed here should be eliminated.
Restore the world Gold Standard with five contentious steps, and
Replace the IMF, World Bank, and Export-Import Bank with facilities that reflect the new Gold Standard, and
After decentralizing and economizing, if tax revenue is needed to fund all or part of the federal government, then implement the Fair Tax.
Regarding a Constitutional Convention itself, some of the available literature warns the reader about a possible "unstructured" and "mismanaged"
Convention that might propose and adopt amendments that could damage the Republic.
Possible, however, it is difficult to envisage how much more damage could done over what the L-E-J Cabal has already done.
If the Convention's agenda and rules of order strictly prohibit violation of the rules and enable a vote on unlisted Amendments AFTER all others are adopted,
then the Convention will be properly structured and managed. ]
John Adams said, "Without [term limits] every man in power becomes a ravenous beast of prey". That being said, here are some of the reasons we believe our country needs Term Limits.
Term Limits can help break the cycle of corruption in Congress. Case studies show that the longer an individual stays in office, the more likely they are to stop serving the public and begin serving their own interests.
Term Limits will encourage regular citizens to run for office. Presently, there is a 94% re-election rate in the House and 83% in the Senate. Because of name recognition, and usually the advantage of money, it can be easy to stay in office. Without legitimate competition, what is the incentive for a member of Congress to serve the public? Furthermore, it is almost a lost cause for the average citizen to try to campaign against current members of Congress.
Term Limits will break the power special interest groups have in Congress.
Term Limits will force politicians to think about the impact of their legislation because they will be returning to their communities shortly to live under the laws they enacted.
Term Limits will bring diversity of people and fresh ideas to Congress.
[Editor's Note: If you want to get rich, i.e. advance from a low paying government bureaucrat job on the local or state level, THEN GET ELECTED TO THE US CONGRESS (House or Senate). Once you're elected, it's easy to steal from your campaign contributions or the Congressional budget allocated to your seat and staff. You can go on a government-funded junket with 'lavishly' paid expenses. The list of ways to steal from the government while in office is inexhaustible. There are only a few Congressmen who left Congress just wealthy instead of a multi-millionaire. Of course, there are several who arrived in Congress as multi-millionaires and don't need to steal from the government.]

The CONgress (by
Article V of the Constitution) has proposed and
States have ratified many new amendments to the Constitution, some that increase their power over us citizens. CONgress can propose amendments, and the
alternative method to CONgressional proposals can come from States via
Article V. When "We the People" — meaning
a very large majority — are opposed to Acts of CONgress like the INCOME TAX or ENDLESS WARS or the FEDERAL RESERVE, Acts that restrict and regulate our
LIBERTY, Acts that are a waste of money, Acts that have caused unrecoverable indebtedness, then through local representaatives of our States WE can propose
Amendments to be ratified by States just like CONgress.
STATES and the PEOPLE of America are very angry at the federal goverment's violation of its
constitutionally-defined boundaries. States created the federal government in 1787 with LIMITED powers defined in the Constitution. All powers not
given by States to the feds remain with the States by Article X. The feds have through deceit, distortion, and falsification rearranged the entire contractual agreement
between States and the federal government. The feds have become a very powerful, all consuming force in American government. The time has come for States to rein in the federal government,
to take power back, to limit the federal government's power, and to add some detailed restriction to the definition of CONgress, the Executive, and the Judiciary.
In 1787 a central government was (is) necessary only to provide for the common defense and ensure equality
under the law for all Citizens, to provide a final arbiter for the resolution of unsolvable problems among States and People. Most laws and regulations that the federal
government has wreaked on the States and the People are unconstitutional. States are independent, sovereign countries who realized the need for a limited and defined
central government to prevent wasteful duplication of effort. The federal government, in 2017, is OUT OF CONTROL, infringing and interfering with State sovereignty and their
separate economies. A problem arose in 2012 with Arizona's attempt to secure their border with Mexico. An article is
here. States can prevent infringements
by the federal government with an Aricle V Convention of States to not only reverse past federal government "power grabs" but prevent future federal government
violations of their Constitutionally-defined boundaries.
A new, well-organized group of volunteers in all 50 states have gathered to restore America to
its roots by limiting all 3 branches of the federal government with a
Convention of States (CoS) organization (alternate site,
CoS Action). This is a Convention of States to AMEND the Constitution — NOT rewrite it!
Recently, CoS held an Article V, Convention
simulation with appointed volunteers from all 50 States. The simulated Convention demonstrated how a well-organized CoS can vote for proposed amendments
to the Consitution that are popular enough to be ratified by the necessary 3/4ths of States (38). Obviously, only proposed Amendments that are likely to pass
both Houses of the legislatures of thirty-eight (38) States, that is, the required 3/4ths of States to ratify an Amendment to the Constitution should be proposed.
See the Final Report here.
The purpose in a Convention of States, simulated or real, is to PROPOSE AMENDMENTS that give power back to the People. The proposed amendments must reflect the
thinking, objectives — the goals of people of States — who want to restore our Constitutional Republic to one that represents the people.
ARTICLE V Convention of States—Restore the Appropriate Balance!

ARTICLE V Convention of States—Restore the Appropriate Balance!
A real CoS, requires that 2/3rds of States (34) send an "application" to CONgress requesting that
CONgress schedule a CoS. State Legislatures are composed of an Assembly and Senate. Each "house" must pass a bill separately and send the resolution to their
Governor. Then the State sends an "application" to the CONgress. When the federal CONgress receives applications from 34 States, the CONgress is required to set a date for
the Convention of States. CONgress is NOT involved otherwise. The States have the Convention, propose amendments, and dispatch the precisely worded amendments to
their respectives assemblies and senates for ratification. CONgress only schedules the Convention.
