Frivolous Fuel For Energizing Epiphanies

As always, corruption provides its own best evidence to those who know how to read it...

I REGULARLY DO MY BEST to explain to people why diligent reading of every newsletter (including these bi-weekly mid-edition updates) is so important. A good example of why this is so occurred to me recently, which involves the "frivolous return penalty" (FRP) hoax.

For a number of years now the IRS has been resorting to the FRP hoax (and the generation of rumors supported by the hoax) to discourage people from becoming CtC-educated. This ploy is the best the agency can muster, even though it actually proves that CtC-educated returns DON'T qualify for the penalty.

After all, resort to the hoax proves that the IRS cannot legitimately resist CtC-educated claims (that is, by non-hoax means) and that is has no valid legal recourse against them. Obviously, had the government a valid recourse or lawful ability to resist or refuse CtC-educated claims it would simply use it, and the idea of constructing a fake FRP list would never have occurred to anyone.

The unfortunate irony, of course, and the reason the hoax has had some effect (and is resorted to), is that one has to become CtC-educated to be able to recognize that a hoax is being played. Only someone who has learned enough on other fronts who will know to dig in and unravel this kind of stuff.

HOWEVER, IN THE COURSE OF WRITING A POST encouraging members of a newsgroup to wake up to the critically-important and liberating truth about the tax, I realized that there is actually a very easy way to knock the pins out from under the FRP bs. This simple solution requires no obscure scrying.

You see, a core premise of the FRP charade is that the IRS makes all those hundreds of thousands of CtC-educated refunds in a kind of a daze. Somehow (the FRP charade asks us to believe) every single one of those glaringly-obvious refund claims-- in which "income" is typically zero or near-zero, and yet an average of $10,000 of withholding is shown-- slips past all the IRS protocols expressly designed to stop the IRS from issuing refunds it has cause to believe are improper.

Those protocols begin with a live human being opening the envelope and examining the return, noting all the details just described. That person then enters all those details in the computer, which then subjects the return to various analyses intended to identify and stop refunds on claims which don't seem legitimate, such as the Electronic Fraud Detection System and the Questionable Refund Program.

As the Taxpayer Advocate Service of the Department of the Treasury describes the protocols in its 2013 Annual Report to Congress (emphasis added):

The return integrity process is complex and multifaceted. A tax return must travel a long path with many potential roadblocks before the IRS accepts it as filed. The main goal of IVO [Integrity Verification and Operation] is to stop fraudulent refunds before they are issued by identifying potentially false returns, usually through wages or withholding reported on the returns. The IRS does this primarily with the Electronic Fraud Detection System, which was built in the 1990s. EFDS runs all individual tax returns through various filters to identify characteristics that may indicate a high risk of fraud.

See the report here.

But we're supposed to believe, per the FRP charade, that a couple hundred thousand CtC-educated refund claims-- all of which are PRECISELY distinguished by what the ignorance-tax context would characterize as impossible discrepancies between "wages" and "withholding" reported on the returns (as in the examples here, here and here, for instance)-- just keep slipping through this gauntlet. In fact, goes the story, these hundreds of thousands of glaring red-flag claims have been "slipping through that gaping crack" without being noticed for fifteen long years now.

What's more, we're to believe that this "slipping through" is not only a bizarre screw-up on the part of the IRS. We're supposed to believe that the same inexplicable blindness or paralysis also independently plagues 36 state tax agencies, which, like the IRS, have been issuing complete refunds based on state filings of exactly the same character and characteristics as those made with the feds.

We're supposed to believe, per the FRP charade, that the IRS only awakens to its mistakes afterward and then scrambles to remediate with things like the FRP. (We are also to believe that this remediation happens one refund at a time. For some reason no one has thought to stop the the new batch of identical refunds that is heading for the mail the same day even while each of the hundreds of thousands of previous ones is being recognized as a mistake and righteously targeted with a penalty.)

THAT'S AN AWFUL LOT OF OBVIOUS GUFF we're being asked to believe! Indeed, the FRP storyline itself is among the most powerfully-compelling and indisputable proofs of the absolute accuracy, completeness and correctness of CtC's revelations.

The black-and-white behaviors of the agency which is authorized, obligated and radically-empowered to defeat any refund claim that is not scrupulously correct, and to collect every penny lawfully subject to the tax, has been bellowing its admissions of CtC's correctness in the loudest and most clearly-enunciated way for fifteen years. All anyone need do to get wise is to open his or here ears, so to speak.

In fact, after laying out the preceding description of the refund realities, I'm not sure I should even bother to proceed with discussing the reveal concerning the FRP hoax that prompted this article in the first place. After the foregoing, only a complete idiot or deliberate enemy of the truth could need more to prove the absolute accuracy and correctness of CtC...

But, hey... Having gone this far, and remembering that the real point here is to encourage diligent newsletter study, I'll go ahead and explain the easy "tell" exposing the fictional government "we come back later with frivolous penalties, so don't take all those refunds seriously" eyewash for what it is: As any diligent newsletter reader will have seen, these scary FRP assertions-- rare as they are to begin with, a fact which by itself should sufficiently rinse the eyewash-- are sometimes issued SIMULTANEOUSLY with the refund made.

In fact, sometimes they are even sent BEFORE the refund check or notice is issued!

SO, TAKE IN THIS LESSON, friends-- or both lessons, really.

The first is, Study every newsletter. Every single article will leave in your memory files some kind of useful information-- whether in big, bold text or fine italics-- that will help you "get" something, now or later; or will help you effectively introduce someone else to the liberating truth about the tax.

The second is the virtue and power of just articulating what actually goes on in regard to CtC filings, an exercise which will reliably put the lie to every single trollery deployed by the bad guys in order to keep people from crossing cognitive bridges into recognizing and understanding the truth.
