    I thought it was worth posting to ensure everyone saw this... No, I haven't fact checked it but assume the news agency which reported it did.

    There are some very interesting parts that jumped out at me:

    "...the IRS owns on the following list: weapons, weapons systems, ammunition, explosive devices, armored vehicles, drones/UAVs and chemical weapons."

    Armored vehicles? Weapon systems? Chemical weapons? WTH is going on? How about this?

    "...said there are "now more federal agents with arrest and firearm authority (200,000) than U.S. Marines (186,000)."



    Republican sounds alarm on ‘militarization’ of IRS after it spent $10M on weapons, gear since 2020

    I must admit that was my first reaction also. I wonder if they mean, tear gas or...? And, Weapon systems, are we talking the .50 caliber machine guns, Hellfires missiles, mortars, exactly what weapons systems...and how in the hell do they justify them, even if it's a belt-fed? Who approved these purchases? And, the big question, how do we get them away from the IRS?

    A tax agency, arming itself like a military, and they are worried about the people having semi-auto rifles.

    I'd like Congress to do a simple audit. A physical inventory of every weapon, every case of ammo and every vehicle that has been purchased, and see how it compares to the money spent. How else will we know if they're responsible enough to maintain the weapons without losing them. If they're losing the money, lets find out who it went to and what they did with it. You don't just buy $10M in weapons without having secure storage to keep them in, and somebody with a name and address that's responsible for them. Right?

    Nothing to see here, Move Along now, Move Along!

    This is how the ultra leftist elites build their Standing Army to force compliance with whatever they want! They know the Military would not support any of their designs, so they build their own loyal forces and equip them to handle We the People more effectively! Keep in mind, With an all volunteer Military drawn from the civilian population, they know they have a major force to resist their plans, so this is how they counter! And incase those IRS agents ain't enough, there are all those other Fed Agencies with firearms and arrest/enforcement powers, ATF, BLM, USFS, EPA, DFW, DHS, FEMA and more, all beholden to whoever sits in power! I have long made it clear to those around me, Absolutely NO ONE has any authority over me outside actual sworn Law Enforcement, BY that I mean, outside the city, county, state police, None of those agencies will be allowed to flex on me!

    when old Joe talked about going after people making more than 400.000 I knew they meant everyone with an income. It all comes down to wanting to control people and a new tax is usually involved.

    10 million over 3 years?
    10000 sig p320s with holsters, 3 mags and a couple boxes of shells each
    or
    2000 MP5s with optics, silencer, spare mags, case of ammo each
    or
    40 medium Surveillance drones
    or
    2 maybe 3 MRAPS with battering rams.

    more likely 2 MRAPS, 10 drones, 100 MP5s and 1k pistols plus some body armor or like any large municipal police department.
    10 million doesn't go very far anymore.

    They are preparing for the wrong war against the wrong enemy. Either way I will have no sympathy when they get their comeuppance.

    All starts with your Sheriff boys.
    Nothing whizzes off local law enforcement like a rogue fedzilla agency invading his county/parish.

    Best to make sure that your Country Sheriff, is a Constitutional Sheriff, by State Statute… In Alaska, the only Constitutional Sheriff is the State Governor… All other Law Enforcement in the State serve at the Governors Pleasure, including State Troopers, Village and Municipal Cops, and Borough Police… EACH STATE determines for itself how State and Local Law Enforcement works, by State Statute, and if your State does not set up the County Sheriff’s position, as stated in the Federal Constitution, then your Sheriff my not be the Highest Ranked Law Enforcement Officer, in the County…

    Nah...no way. Are you saying the SSA has armed itself also? Good God, I hope not! Why in hell would they need to be armed? Are the ONLY damn people in the country who shouldn't be armed are the people that make up the country?!?!? Totally pisses me off...

    You know, you might be right. A new tax law or code hitting us where it hurts...as if it's not already hurting, hard enough for push back so... Does make sense.

    Frankly, I think if they admit to $10 million then we can figure in truth it's 3X-5X that amount.

    Well, we know the damn ATF can't hang on to their firearms as they still got a bunch missing but like @snake6264 said, "I bet most of that stuff is now missing" and I agree....but where would it go and to who or what agencies and why? Overseas? Something stinks...

    This is a great video! Concerning the over abundance of labor, I didn't really think about this before but I think he's correct and its effect has lowered our standard of living. Geez, if nothing else, this should tell us to stop immigration immediately; however, corporations and even the government wouldn't want this, but the people should and would if they realized it. Nothing is ever done for the good of the people so...guess it doesn't matter.

    I wanted to find the picture but couldn't. 2008 in Georgetown, SC we saw a SWAT step van parked behind the SS office, and along the bottom it said
    "Office of the Inspector General
    Social Security Administration"

    2 guys in black battle rattle talking to 2 local cops.

    several years back, the detroit police got one of those nice swanky BearCat tactical rigs. Cost them like 700k. So 10 million again, doesn't go very far.

    Also agree that if they did an accounting for where shit is ... they gonna come up short on inventory.

    @Tempstar, LOL! Well, now that I think about it, and considering that there are a bunch of cantankerous buggers like me, with more miles behind me than in front, and should things go kinetic... Yeah, maybe they are justified having a few of those SWAT vans around! LOL! :)

    Finished the rest of this video and I'm extremely impressed. This young guy is a deep thinker and I think he is right or very close. Being an amateur historian, I've always preached that we are more and more resembling the French Revolution period and the outcome will be about the same. Here we have a trained historian (his degree is in History, mine is in Computer Science) thinking the same thing with the same predictable outcome. Furthermore, he fleshed it out with statistics and historical precedents, and when making assumptions he explains how he arrived at them via logic. It's very good and will watch him in the future. I also need to read Peter Turchin again as he truly might be right in which case we will see a Revolution, not a Civil War but a Revolution...and soon.
    EDIT: Damn! This kid is sharp! Watching it a second time and reading his slides, really insightful! Amazing!

    Too late.
    There are more than fifty million illegals in these States united by now.

    (We all know that whatever they tell us in the media is propaganda. One example is they said a couple years ago that there were "only" (!!!) 13 million illegals in America. Well, we knew there were more than 13 million in 1980 - forty years ago. At least one million illegals have crossed the border EVERY YEAR since the 1970s. Closer to 2mil/yr during FJB's regime.)
