Why are you so damned ignorant on every subject?

The IRS Whistleblower, (above) who I assume you trust/believe, says the opposite.

This discussion is in regard to the need for IRS agents to be armed when visiting houses. 

Steps have been taken to protect agents.  Whether it's concealing their names

Or stopping unannounced visits

More and more people are becoming more and more angry with the federal government including slecif agencies.  The fact is, home visits are currently being used and I support the right of IRS agents to protect themselves when entering the home of a stranger who is very likely not welcome.

Besides that, it's not even all agents. It's only a Criminal Investigation arm of the IRS.


Key Requirements

Be 21 years of age by the time that you complete the training academy and no older than 37 years of age at time of appointment.

Quote from: ZenMode on August 21, 2023, 11:37:40 AMI don't know when they haven't.  In fact, one of the IRS whistleblowers  described what happened when he tried to visit Hunter's house:

Republican interest in the FBI agent's testimony centers on how they say it substantiates a piece of testimony from one of the IRS whistleblowers who raised alarm about how the tax crimes investigation into Hunter Biden was conducted, specifically about how a planned attempt to interview Hunter Biden at his home in California Dec. 8, 2020, unfolded.

That whistleblower, IRS Supervisory Agent Gary Shapley, and the FBI agent said their plan was to show up at Hunter Biden's home for a possible interview and "hail mary" consent search. They planned to notify the local Secret Service office in Los Angeles at 8 a.m. the day of their planned attempt, since Hunter Biden was a Secret Service protectee.

"The initial plan was to have the local field office of the Secret Service be notified the morning of to diminish opportunities for anybody else to be notified," the FBI agent said in the interview.

But the FBI agent said he was notified the evening before, Dec. 7, 2020, that FBI headquarters had contacted the Secret Service headquarters — which upset both the FBI agent and Shapley from the IRS.

"I felt it was people that did not need to know about our intent," the FBI agent said. "I believe that the Secret Service had to be notified for our safety, for lack of confusion, for deconfliction, which we would do in so many other cases, but I didn't understand why the initial notification."

Then just cut out the house calls. Send notice, set a date, and only meet at IRS building. Simple huh?

QuoteLeo Hohmann: Why is the IRS Buying .40-Caliber Submachine Guns?

Why the obvious answer is to help you pay your taxes. Now how many of the accountants the IRS hired do you think are capable of handling a shoot out situation? Mentally? People beware, if the IRS comes to your door, they will be armed and they are not trained as L.E.

QuoteWhen the corporate media asked the IRS why it needed automatic weapons, millions of rounds of ammunition and heavily armed staffers trained in the "use of deadly force," they said it was for "administrative reasons."

But we now know that the globalists are not just arming the IRS, along with just about every other federal agency. They are militarizing these agencies to the hilt with military-grade weapons not available to American citizens.


Why, for instance, would the IRS need armored vehicles, flash-bang grenades loaded with tear gas, and .40-caliber submachine guns?

Yet, as usual, there's Zen, defending the commie govt. in the use of force over the people.
It's odd, in the past it was a given, if you wanted to avoid contact with the Govt. you simply went off line, paid cash for everything, hopped around like a vagabond.
Avoiding paying taxes seems to be a thing now, avoiding  contact with our Govt is becoming an obligation, just like it was when I got my SSN card, which my dad tried to discourage me from getting at the time, now I know why.

Be it ski or surf bum, it's not a bad lifestyle for a young guy.
You just lived life to its fullest, but now we have the left pushing DNA Tracing/retinal/ID's for a cashless society, and Zen thinks the IRS is OK being armed?

In the past when the IRS wanted you, they simply used the court system illegally, got an order to seize your bank account, your home and your car, yes, I've read horror stories, yet Zen thinks arming them is somehow better?
