Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. I keep the website clean from pop-ups and annoying demands. Instead, I depend entirely on my readers to support me. Though this means I am sacrificing some income, it also means that I remain entirely independent from outside pressure. By depending solely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, no one can threaten me with censorship. You don't like what I write, you can simply go elsewhere.

 

You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are five ways of doing so:

 

1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.

 

2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
 

3. A Paypal Donation:

4. A Paypal subscription:


5. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

You can also support me by buying one of my books, as noted in the boxes interspersed throughout the webpage or shown in the menu above. And if you buy the books through the ebookit links, I get a larger cut and I get it sooner.


The lawyer for True The Vote — one of the groups targeted by the IRS and other federal agencies for harassment — has just issued a very blunt letter to the Department of Justice that puts them and the IRS very much in the hot seat.

The IRS time bomb ticks some more: The lawyer for True The Vote — one of the groups targeted by the IRS and other federal agencies for harassment — has just issued a very blunt letter to the Department of Justice that puts them and the IRS very much in the hot seat.

Read it all. The legalities here are not in favor of the Obama administration and the IRS. They are very exposed. The last few paragraphs of MItchell’s letter illustrate this quite starkly:

In addition to seeking responses to the questions in this letter, we also seek your consent to immediately allow a computer forensics expert selected by TTV to examine the computer(s) that is or are purportedly the source of Ms. Lerner’s “lost” emails, including cloning the hard drives, and to attempt to restore what was supposedly “lost,” and to seek to restore any and all “lost” evidence pertinent to this litigation.

We also seek access to all computers, both official and personal, used by any and all of the Defendants from and after July 1, 2010, in order to ensure preservation of the documents of all Defendants in this action.

We wish to resolve our concerns amicably but, absent your consent, we will file such motions as deemed necessary and appropriate asking the Court to require that you respond to the questions contained in this letter, and to permit such forensic examination described herein and for such other relief as may be appropriate for this egregious breach of legal authority and professional ethics.

Due to the time-sensitive and urgent nature of this request, please respond by noon on Wednesday, June 18, 2014.

These demands are entirely legal and routine in lawsuits with circumstances such as this. Even the most partisan Democratic judges in the courts are going to find it very difficult to protect the IRS and the Obama administration here.

As was said over and over and over again during the Watergate scandal in the 1970s, it wasn’t the crime so much as the coverup that destroyed Richard Nixon. It looks like the same thing might be happening to Barack Obama.

Genesis cover

On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.

 
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.


The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
 

"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

    I’m not so sure. Even though I’m an atheist- it’s almost as if the devil himself is on Obama’s side.

    Judge or no judge, it is now clear the elites are not going to let the peasants upset the status quo. Those email will no more see the light of day than Obama college transcripts.

    We are now officially a “banana republic.”

    Dear Mr Mitchell ,
    We of the IRS are of course fully willing to comply with this and all legal requests for information. As a agency we full support our mandate for transparency, ethical behavior…………..::more BS::………………………..::more BS::…………………………………………::more BS::……………………………

    If you are going to go with that devil / God logic than you are going to have to attach morality to the the government itself and government really has no morality. It may appear to have morality or a sense of right and wrong but that is really an illusion projected by individuals that can and do have a morality.

    I think a more productive perspective to have is that Obama and his blatantly un Constitutional actions will galvanize the people which over time will result in a re Connection with the Constitution and what it attempts to achieve, the counter balance to abuse of power, as is the Constitutions design. And make no mistake about it that is where Obama finds himself, whether by design which you would have to assume because he is suppose to be a Constitutional “scholar” or happenstance.

    And this IMO can be argued is one of the ultimate goals of Obamas actions. Consciously? Subconsciously? In addition to reparations? Arguments can be made based on the actual things that he has said, done and by the people he has put in power in, as he loves to self reference “MY” administration. People of America are learning first hand that there really are consequences to elections. Lets be hopeful that the lessons are learned and they reject what will be presented to them as the standard choices for leadership in the coming elections. Civilized revolution and transfer of power is in the air.

    If you were to put yourself in his position, understanding where he comes from and what politics he has eaten for his whole life and his family’s history he is doing what is necessary in his opinion to rectify the “evils” of the past 300 years. You have to respect him to this degree he told the American public exactly what he would do in his campaign’s, give the devil his due. Lots of flubs and screw ups but in his opinion its generally going in the correct general direction.

    And this IMO is what really needs to happen given the actions of this president.
