That IRS Scandal

Who me, a cynic? I have not yet begun to Cyn!

I haven’t written about the latest scandal to come bubbling up out of the DC cesspit. I’m not sure that I want to, because I instinctively feel it’s a set up. A sucker’s bet. Smoke and mirrors, although it doesn’t seem to be throwing the slow-to-awake hound dogs of the media off the Benghazi scent.

But I feel it’s a con. Somehow. That the whole thing will be traced to a small number of mid-level “rogue” employees, amorally doing what they “thought” would “benefit” their Big One. And that’s why the “scandal” broke in the first place. Because all the i’s were dotted and all the t’s crossed and all the records and emails cleansed before this was allowed to be news, so that the chain of evidence goes only so high and does NOT reach the top.

A half dozen or so IRS agents will take the fall. All of them will be near to retirement anyway, and they’ll just step down. Oh, there will be talk, endless talk, of criminal prosecution ... which will go nowhere. And yet somehow, behind the curtain, those agents who are dismissed will somehow be taken care of. Once out of the limelight for a month or so, they’ll get jobs in other departments. Or they’ll find themselves as consultants, earning some ultra fat salary for a year or two in some sinecure job that makes up, more than makes up, for the wages from the old job and any benefits lost. If, and it’s an unlikely if, those that get the axe are stripped of their bennies and retirement accounts. If. Don’t bet on it.

In other words, the fix is in. Before the game even begins.

And even though the running dog media is currently in high dudgeon, red hot and seething that the phone and email records of their brothers over at Associated Press were illegally seized by another branch of the dictatorship, not a single one of them will push. Not really push. Because the truth is out there, somewhere. Somehow. And you know as well as I do that this whole “scandal” was just Business As Usual to this Regime. With their full knowledge and consent. And direction. And approval. All the way to the very top. All the way up to former Secretary of the Treasury “"turbo tax” Tim Geithner, and beyond. You’ll hear “Nixon’s enemies list” half a million times (because no matter how big a Socialist Nixon was, and he advanced the Socialist Agenda at least as much as any other president, the MSM will forever have it in for him because he was the guy who put Alger Hiss away. An actual communist spy, who just happened to be the media’s and society’s darling), but you won’t hear a word about “Obama’s enemies list” even though you yourself can easily find video of him referring to his political opponents AND a vast number of Americans, as his enemies. On multiple occasions to boot. Don’t ever forget that your own government considers you a potential terrorist and a threat and has since the early days of this president’s “rule”. A word he himself used when His Arrogance began the transition from the never-before-seen-in-the-history-of-The-United-States “Office of the President Elect” to his actual inaugural empowerment.

Nor will the press ever recall that Slick Willy Clinton also sicced the IRS on people and organizations he didn’t like. Down the memory hole. Forgotten. Ignore that such a thing shows that harassment by the tax man is SOP to the Left.

The truth? If there is a truth in here somewhere, it’s that any (and every?) branch of the government can be (is?) a running dog apparatchik for the party in power. Assuming that the branch was properly “cleansed” when the party took power, which Evil Booosh never did at State. Or at EPA. Or at Energy. Or at Education. But which Clinton did, so all those branches are filled with Progressive types. And each and every one of those branches has been, and still is, used to further the agenda of the Left. The Far Left. And it never ever is news. At least not until the top players have moved on from their appointed positions and a deep impenetrable moat dug around the godkings at the top.

And some elected-for-an-entire-career DC Dimwit is yaddering away on last night on TV about how this IRS scandal destroys people’s faith and trust in government. HAH!




And now, back to your daily show. Flip on the boob tube, and watch both sides of the aisle in DC get all frumpety, and start blowing the trumpets of righteousness and resentment with every breath, because everyone hates the IRS. Because this is their perfect “me too” moment. And it will go nowhere.

So have a ton of links. It’s a terrible tale, and in an honest world it would result in firings and arrests for the larger part of the upper reaches of an entire branch of government. The same way that Benghazi should be a blood purge over at State. The same way that Fast And Furious should have been a blood purge over at Justice and at Homeland Security. Three out of many, all of which should have resulted in impeachment. And none of them will. Because the fix is in.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
