Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch released 906 pages of newly recovered Lois Lerner emails from the IRS that are believed to recently have been recovered by the IRS’ internal watchdog – the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA).  The IRS released the emails under a court order by U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan.  The new documents show that Lois Lerner and other top officials in the Exempt Organizations Unit of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), including soon-to-be Acting IRS Commissioner Steve Miller, closely monitored and approved the controversial handling of tax-exempt applications by Tea Party organizations.  The documents also show that at least one group received an inquiry from the IRS in order to buy time and keep the organization from contacting Congress.   Continue reading “Judicial Watch: IRS Produces Recovered Lerner Emails”

MIAMI (AP) — Psssst — Need a phony ID? A fraudulent tax refund? Insurance money from a sham car crash? Florida may have just what you’re looking for.

Since the first settlers hacked their way into the mangrove tangles and drained much of the swampland, sunny South Florida has been virtually synonymous with shady deals and scams. Over the past decade or so, the three most populous South Florida counties — Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach — have become less renowned for old-school “Miami Vice”-style drug shootouts than for scammers stealing hundreds of millions from the government, banks and individuals by using laptops, stolen identities and fake medical procedures.   Continue reading “By nearly any measure, sunny South Florida is tops in fraud”

Few people look at the education system in our nation, and even fewer look at what the type of education our nation is going to have in the future. I received an email from a friend that noted what the United States Department of Education, which may result in “enslavement”-like action, with Congress going along under the guise of helping the local Educational Departments. Maybe what our nation should do is forget about the national Department of Education, eliminate it, and just allow the States to do their own education programs—that would be so much better than placing our children in schools under a “national” policy that seems to set up a Communist type of education that will make our children virtual “slaves” to the government. Now that I have your attention, let me show what I am talking about.   Continue reading “Education in United States Going Communist?”

In a scene more reminiscent of a war-zone than an American city, Berkeley, California police conducted what looked like a full-scale military operation in a residential neighborhood in response to a one person robbery of a local laundromat.

Despite the fact that no one was injured in the robbery, police decided to effectively close down an entire neighborhood in an attempt to catch the “silver tooth” robber who they admitted may or may not have been armed. Police advised residents to stay in their homes as they went house to house to search for the suspect.   Continue reading “Berkeley Police conduct full-scale military operation in American neighborhood over one robbery suspect”

As even the casual observer of the effects from the corporatist model for economic commerce knows, permanence in a developing prosperity is transient at best. What becomes the rush to ratchet up industrial production ends up in a piercing disappointment for long term stability. China is the latest example of a corporatist model in serious trouble. And who will suffer the most? Those dependent on export manufacturing are clearly poised for a very bumpy ride. While the oligarchs play global chess with their foreign companies, the enterprise of creating a rise in world-wide wealth suffers.   Continue reading “Chinese Corporatism Turns Sour”
