Even The IRS is Being Weaponized in Biden’s Neo-Fascist Overreach

We’ve watched the weaponization of the U.S. dollar in the form of sanctions on Russia and others in connection with the war in Ukraine. That has backfired and is leading to a de-dollarization movement that may end in a much weaker dollar and much higher inflation down the road.

We’ve also seen the weaponization of the U.S. justice system that has led to relentless and unfounded prosecutions of presidential candidate Donald Trump from the Russia Hoax, two phony impeachments, a half-billion dollar liability for a harmless valuation dispute on a loan application (the loan was repaid on time and in full), a made-up RICO case in Georgia where the prosecutor may be disqualified for misconduct, a “hush money” case in New York where even left-leaning experts can’t tell you what the crime is, a classified documents case in Florida which may be dismissed due to prosecution tampering with the evidence, and finally a January 6^th case in Washington, which is on hold pending a Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity.

This kind of weaponization (taking legitimate government functions and turning them into tools to destroy political enemies) began with the Obama administration and its hyper-political Attorney General Eric Holder and has now infected all branches of government under the Biden administration.

The latest political tool is the IRS. The latest update of the IRS Internal Review Manual expands the scope of IRS investigation and audit activity to include anyone who impedes the government’s “ability to govern” or who poses a “threat to public safety or national security.”

Such phrases sound benign when applied to foreign terrorists or criminal masterminds. Then you realize they can just as easily be applied to political opponents, Trump supporters, podcasters, opinion writers, political organizers or everyday Americans who stand in the way of Biden’s neo-fascist ambitions.

The IRS can use threats of audits and investigations to intimidate social media platforms like Google, Facebook, and Instagram into shutting down MAGA Republicans and others who oppose Biden policies. The IRS manual changes also authorize the agency to “disclose in writing, return information … which may constitute evidence of a violation of federal criminal laws to the extent necessary to apprise the head of the appropriate federal agency charged with responsibility for enforcing such laws.”

In other words, the IRS can leak taxpayer information to the Justice Department, Department of Homeland Security or other agencies with enforcement power in order to sic those agencies on targeted victims. This happens in a context where simple political opposition has been criminalized giving the IRS carte blanche to choose their victims. If you are outspoken against the Biden administration, keep your tax records handy and get ready for a knock on the door.
