Our US Representative Pat Fallon, who stood on the shoulders of Donald Trump’s “America First” platform to win his election, continues to baffle conservative voters with his “yea” vote to send $40 billion to Ukraine while Americans are headed for financial crisis. Each American essentially sent $500 to Ukraine while trying to figure out how to overcome alarming food and gas hikes. How many would willingly hand that over $500 if asked to do so? ***** We have created an environment where a massive number of kids have grown up without a father, God has been removed from the public square, porn has replaced prayer, medicine has replaced discipline, virtual reality games have replaced true reality. We isolated our kids, dehumanized them with facecoverings and we wonder why we’re massproducing kids with psychological issues who commit violent crimes.

We did this to ourselves. ***** No other country on earth drugs kids with psychotropics like America. https:// en.m.wikipedia.org/.../ List_of_psychotropic...

America has battled a global trade attack since the inception of the country Globalism and “The Great Reset” are popular terms and discussions today for those who permeate their minds in real world issues not found on Netflix or Hulu. But the globalist ideology is far from new and is deep-rooted in our country’s battle for our own sovereignty and or own nationalist views.

The collapse of the British empire was an orderly process in which one colony at a time was released after negotiations which saw the nations continue the economic relations in exchange for a limited self-rule. India is a notable example of this along with, grab your socks, America. The British didn’t surrender unconditionally after the Battle of Yorktown. American was still in negotiations for two years.

Their troops remained in our country until the treaty was signed in 1783.

The loss of colonies ended very successfully for Britain who retained economic control while not having to burden themselves with the cost of policing these nations.

When American won our independence, it was merely an empty victory.

As soon as the Treaty of Paris was signed, the British began their counterattack by dumping cheap manufactured goods into America, so low that it was cheaper than what Americans could produce. Prior to the American Revolution, manufacturing was forbidden by law in the United States.

After the Revolution, a few manufacturers existed, but those were destroyed by the artificially underpriced goods in our market. With this, the British reestablished their colonial monopoly on manufacturing in the US which was the very thing that sparked the war. This caused massive economic strife in America and sparked the Shay’s Rebellion in Massachusetts.

The US founding fathers saw that the Articles of Confederation did not permit us to impose tariffs to prevent artificially underpriced dumping of goods. This led to the Constitution that addressed and imposed actions to protect ourselves from the trade war by Britain. With the new Constitution and a new President in George Washington, he made a statement at his inauguration of wearing a suit of homespun cloth made in Hartford, Connecticut. This was a statement to show that America would not stand for Britain’s manufacturing monopoly.

The British continued for decades to attack America to bring them to heel.

But there was no bigger blow to America than the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913. The League of Nations was brought about by the global ruling class and eventually led to the United Nations and the “New World Order” as they’ve coined it.

© 2022 The Howe Enterprise

The British had been unsuccessful in attempts to break up the US with the War of 1812 and the Civil War which was brewed up by the British. In the 1890s, they changed their strategy of trying to destroy the US or break it up into pieces. They accepted the US as a major empire and used them to fight their wars for them. It was implemented primarily through the Woodrow

Wilson administration. Wilson, a southerner, grew up in Augusta, Georgia and witnessed the Civil War through his own eyes. While the northern states had begun to sever themselves from the British in manufacturing and self-sufficiency, the South had been controlled by the British through cotton trade. Wilson was sympathetic to the Confederate cause and filled his White House with Confederates. His closest advisor was Colonel Edward Mandell House whose father was British. House always turns up in nefarious writings who is presented as a globalist and a British agent.

Wilson and his Confederates in Washington felt as if the British were an ally and never gave up their dream that the South would rise again.

Wilson is credited as the mastermind of the League of Nations, but the British pressure groups had been pushing for 15 to 20 years. A letter from Foreign Secretary of Britain Sir Edward Grey in 1915 to Colonel House proposed this idea of the League of Nations, but wanted it not to come from England, but be the brainchild of America. House and Sir William Wiseman, a British Intelligence Agent surrounded Wilson as a nest of spies and coerced him to bring about this idea.

In reading Congressional Testimony from the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, many of the expert witnesses expressly warned that the League of Nations was a British plot whose true purpose was to draw the US back into the British Empire. This testimony largely is the reason the US Senate rejected the League of Nations.

The Irish Americans were knowledgeable of the British Empire and their economic and financial workings.

Many of those who testified were involved in the Irish Independence Movement. Irish American intellectuals have been at the forefront of warning Americans of the hidden dangers of British globalism. Irish-born Matthew Carey, an associate of Ben Franklin was one of the first US economists to call for a unique American system of economics to oppose the British global monopoly system. His son Henry Carey became Abraham Lincoln’s top economic advisor. Henry Carey warned Lincoln that the true facts of the war was British manipulation. Not too many years ago, American historian Carroll Quigley, an Irish American, wrote about the British’s hidden affairs in his book Tragedy and Hope and Anglo-American Establishment.

With the US never joining the League of Nations and other reasons, it collapsed and was eventually replaced by the United Nations that still exists today. The UN serves today as the globalist power which now has a specialized agency called the World Health Organization (WHO). The WHO is on the verge of taking control over 195 countries including the US with ultimate control over sovereignty in the name of pandemic mandates. Let’s see what happens.

Vacation Bible School at First Baptist Church Howe June 12-15

A Honor Roll

Howe’s City Administrator Jeff Stanley clarified the ONCOR action item from the city council agenda. The resolution that was approved was to give the steering committee more time to fight ONCOR’s rate increase, not approving the rate increase.

Howe Bulldogs are undefeated in football 7-on-7, to compete in Henrietta this week If the 7-on-7 season is any indicator for Howe’s pass-happy offense, the Bulldogs could be in great shape for November football as they are undefeated with a 4-0 record. Howe beat Whitewright 28-0 and Bonham 42-6 last week. They previously defeated Bells 13-6 and Celeste 13-6. They will travel to Henrietta this week for a state qualifying tournament. Howe will play Quanah, Electra, Henrietta, and one to be determined.

Submitted.

Vacation Bible School at First Baptist Church Howe is Sunday, June 12Wednesday, June 15 in the Children's Building and Auditorium from 6 pm 8:30 pm each evening. The Bible study will be discovering what a wonderous Creator God is and how He created each child special and unique, giving them talents to use to glorify the Lord. Helping the children discover these talents will be our goal as well as making VBS be a fun four days for each child. There will be Bible stories, songs and worship, crafts, missions study, snacks and recreation with lots of fun and fellowship.

All children from age five through sixth grade are invited. Drop off is at the auditorium.

Registration may be done on the phone at 903-532-5504 or by email to wes@fbchowe.org.

Howe High grad thought dead in WWII, but survived as POW James Gee Lost in Java Battle From the Howe Messenger, March 20, 1942

Word was received late Monday night from the War Department that James W. Gee, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Gee of Frisco, formerly of Howe, was lost in the sinking of the Cruiser Houston in the battle of Java, February 28.

James was born at Howe, August 27, 1921, and attended grammar and high school here, graduating in 1937, after which he attended a short while at the North Texas Teachers College at Denton and then worked his way through

two years at the University of Texas.

In the summer of 1940, he enlisted in the Marine Corps and was stationed in San Diego for a time. Later he was assigned to sea duty on the Houston and was based at Manila.

Immediate relatives are his father and mother; three sisters, Mrs. Mildred McFarland and Miss Estelle Gee of Dallas and Miss Oleta Gee of Perin Field; one brother, Benny Gee of Frisco.

James Gee - Lost in action on the Cruiser Houston

- February 28, 1942

From the Howe Messenger, March 20, 1942 To those who knew and loved Jimmie, this brings closure to us the bitter realization that this is indeed our war.

It is not only ours because of our own future, and the future and safety of those dependent upon us are at stake, but it is ours because we have been in the middle for the past 25 years are the cause of it. Yes, we are, God help us!

Away back 25 years ago, when we were fighting a "war to end wars," and a war "to make the world safe for democracy", we made some tragic errors and blunders somewhere that have let this one come about. You did not bring it on, Jimmie. You only had to go forth in your splendid young manhood and die, because we who failed you before were born are too old to bare our breasts to a savage enemy.

We feel like baring our heads and apologizing to every fine young man we see in uniform. Can you forgive us, Jimmie? We loved you like our own. We never had a son, and always wanted one, and we have loved to imagine that if we had a son, he would be just like you, Jimmie, long-legged, cleary-eyed, smiling, kind, lovable.

May the pride of having borne such a son be of immeasurable comfort to your sorrowing parents!

It might not have been necessary for you to die, Jimmie, if even for the past few years we had not had our heads stuck in the sand, like ostriches, determined in our minds that there could be no peril to us because we refused to see it.

If we had been making planes, ships,

and munitions 24 hours a day, seven days a week since the outbreak of this war, and sending them to those fighting aggressors, there were, and are plenty of them to whip Hitler's Mussolini's, and the illegitimate Son of Heaven's ears down, plenty of Russians and Chinamen alone, to say nothing of the brave, dogged determined Dutch and English and soldiers of valiant little Greece.

You, personally, might not have been needed in Java to face a vastly superior armed foe, The little brown treacherous devils from Hell would never have attacked us if they had not known for a certainty that we were lacking in the only things that they respect - cold steel and hot lead.

But now you are gone, Jimmie and the tragedy of tragedies is that your loss will be reflected in tens of thousands of other communities like ours. We make this pledge to you and others who have died that we might live that we here and now re-dedicate ourselves, our resources, our influence, and everything that we have or can command, toward the winning of this war, and to the consummation of a really just and lastiing peace this time, a peace where really peaceful people can live in freedom and real security, and where the covetous and power maddened war glorifiers can never again organize and build up the power to pillage, rape and murder peaceloving people so that again, unborn young men may have to go forth a generation from now and die for wrongs in which they had no part.

- Mr. and Mrs. S.L. Ricketts

A LETTER TO JIMMIE

From the Howe Enterprise, April 16, 1964 - by Mame Roberts No, Jimmie, we shall never forget you.

You were born here and grew up here.

You attended Howe schools and Sunday School with other kids, You were such a little fellow with such a big smile: everybody was your friend.

We remember when you graduated from the Howe High School and then enrolled in The University of Texas.

We remember when you enlisted in the U.S. Marines. It was during World War II. Your ship was the USS Houston, which was sent into the thick of combat in the Pacific.

We shall never forget when the news came that the USS Houston had been sunk by a Japanese torpedo - "All men aboard were lost." Three and a half years went by - we grieved for you as dead. We wanted to erect a memorial to you.

Then glorious came - you were alive but a prisoner of war. You were those three and a half years in twenty-five prison camps from Java to Japan. Your body bore bayonet wounds. By a miracle, you survived and came home to start all over in rebuilding your life.

Again, you have done another good job. You are now an executive with a big manufacturing company in Dallas.

We remember that you married the beautiful Miss Shirley Tewell, daughter of a former Ambassador to Mexico. You have a fine son.

We are proud of you, Jimmie.

Jimmie is James Warren Gee, son of Mrs. John Gee and the late Mr. John Gee, longtime residents of Howe.

James Gee - In his words From The Blue Bonnet, Volume 73, Issue 2, August, 2015

After surviving the death railway, U.S.S. Houston Marine survivor James Gee was eventually transported to a POW coal mining camp near Nagasaki, Japan.

“We were about 45 miles from Nagasaki (by train). We probably felt the bomb and heard the darn thing, but we didn’t know it because we heard a lot of explosions that we didn’t know what in the world they were. But we knew one thing: There were hardly any Japanese planes in the sky. We knew occasionally that American planes were in the area from the air raid sounds. We knew things were shaping up in our favor… After Hiroshima, they called us on the parade ground, and this is when we had our biggest run down through the city. This is when people were jeering at us because of the number of people that had been killed. But, anyway, Nagasaki

was hit next, and we were called onto the parade ground, and the Japanese in a formal ceremony told us what had happened and said that America and Japan were now friends and that they wanted to treat us the very best they could and that they were sorry for all the hardships that we’d suffered and all that. And in just fifteen minutes’ time, they switched from our major enemy to our best friend, and to seal this, to let us know they meant it, they turned over their rifles and ammunition to us, which we accepted without hesitation. We had a man who made an American flag and had carried it with him for quite a while, and we took the Stars and Stripes and replaced that rising sun with Old Glory. That was the end of our POW days…Of course, we were pretty stunned…That first day, we took our rifles and we walked out across the countryside looking for food.”

City of Howe SECONDS COUNT IN AN EMERGENCY! That's why the City of Howe has instituted the CodeRED Emergency Notification System - an ultra high-speed telephone communication service for emergency notifications. This system allows us to telephone all or targeted areas in case of an emergency situation that requires immediate action (such as a boil-water notice, missing child or evacuation notices). The system is capable of dialing 60,000 phone numbers per hour. It then delivers a pre-recorded message describing the situations to a live person or an answering machine in the affected area possibly including instructions requiring action on the part of the recipient.

Once the situation is remedied, another call will be placed to the area signaling that the issue has been addressed and that normal activities can be resumed.

The following information is required to add a telephone number into the "CodeRED" database: first and last name; address (physical address, no P.O. boxes); city; state; Zip Code; and primary phone number. The system works with cellular phones but requires a valid street address. When entering information, please fill out all of the screens because the newest data entered will replace the old data.

Texas History Minute Elections often produce the unexpected. Obscure candidates sometimes come from nowhere to beat well-known and established candiKen Bridges dates. And at other times, honest men are bested by scoundrels. The 1838 presidential election in Texas became a tragic contest that saw the deaths of two prominent candidates with promising futures.

President Sam Houston was completing his first term in 1838 amid declining popularity. With Texas flirting with bankruptcy as the result of the Texas Revolution and difficulty establishing trade relations with other nations, Houston had been forced to veto a number of popular measures in an effort to save money. In addition, his policies of peace with the Native American tribes had frustrated many settlers.

Under the terms of the Texas Constitution, the term of the first elected president of the Republic of Texas would only be two years. Each term afterward (though many Texans expected a quick annexation to the United States) would be three years. It would be a straight popular vote without an electoral college. The constitution of the Texas Republic also specified that a president could serve as many terms as the voters would allow, but the president could not serve consecutive terms. As a result, Houston was not able to run for re-election.

No political parties existed in the Republic of Texas, but the politics of the day was divided on a personalist basis: supporters of Houston and opponents of Houston. Vice-President Mirabeau B. Lamar had effectively become the head of the anti-Houston faction. Given the continuing threat from Mexico and memories of how Mexico’s own political divisions had left it in a state of near-constant civil war also fed the pragmatic desire to keep partisanship in check.

Lamar, a Georgia native, hoped to establish Texas as a great, independent power though Texas did not have the means to make this happen at that point. He was fiercely critical of

13

May 30, 2022

Houston’s policies. As a former newspaper publisher and Georgia legislator, for example, he had supported the expulsion of Native American tribes from the state.

Pro-Houston forces faced one tragedy after another in their search for a successor to Houston. Secretary of War Thomas J. Rusk had attracted a lot of attention for a presidential run. The South Carolina native and future U. S. Senator declined.

Many Houston supporters looked to James Collinsworth. Collinsworth was born in Tennessee in 1806. He rose to become the United States Attorney for the Western District of Tennessee before he headed to Texas. He distinguished himself at the battle of San Jacinto and became the first Chief Justice of the Texas Supreme Court in 1836. He decided to run for the presidency in 1838, but his alcoholism took its toll. He had gone on a long drinking binge in Galveston before leaping off the top of a steamboat to his death at the mere age of 32.

The third potential candidate was Peter W. Grayson. He was born in Kentucky in 1788 and eventually became a state legislator. However, he suffered from bouts of depression for which at that time were few remedies. He helped raised troops for the Texas Revolution and became Houston’s attorney general in 1837. Grayson reluctantly agreed to run at Houston’s urging. In June, he began a diplomatic trip to Washington, DC, but by July when he reached Tennessee, he shot himself in a tavern near Knoxville.

Texas counties are now named for all three men.

As a result of the deaths of the two prominent Texas politicians, Lamar was effectively the last candidate remaining. Only one candidate opposed Lamar, Sen. Robert Wilson. Wilson was nicknamed “Honest Bob” because he always promised his constituents that he would be just as honest as the circumstances permitted. Lamar won the election by a crushing margin, winning 6,995 votes to only 252 for Honest Bob. As president, Lamar’s grandiose plans ended in failure. Houston would recapture the presidency in 1841.

Living with children Q: In certain of your books as well as your newspaper column, you have written that children as young as three should be John Rosemond doing daily chores around the home.

Exactly what chores are reasonable for that age child?

A: First, a personal anecdote: My mother kept a scrapbook of my early years that contained photos, notes, and other such memorabilia. Browsing through it one day, I found a photograph she had taken with her Brownie camera of me washing the kitchen floor in our tiny apartment on Church Street in Charleston, South Carolina.

On the reverse side of the photo Mom had written a date indicating that I was three years and six months old at the time.

When I asked her about it, Mom told me that I enjoyed doing housework and that teaching me to wash a floor had been straightforward and easily accomplished. She also emphasized that she had held me to a fairly high standard. If I did a sloppy job of floorwashing, she had me do it over again.

Such was “parenting” – actually, it was known as simply “childrearing” back then – before it became necessary to clap and squeal over anything a child did to ensure the continuing inflation of self-esteem.

My training in proper husband-hood continued. By age five, before I started first grade (Kindergarten was not universal in South Carolina in the early 1950s), I was occasionally washing my own clothing in Mom’s “washing machine,” which consisted of a large, galvanized tub with hand rollers bolted to it. And again, there were enforced standards. “Do it right the first time and you won’t have to do it again,” became my motto.

The point of this reminiscence is that young children are more capable than most folks, apparently, think them to

be. I was not a chore-savant at three. I was simply trained properly, which is to say, patiently but with calm insistence that I do the job to the best of my ability. Let’s face it, washing a floor is about as basic as it gets. Dip sponge, wring, put on floor, wipe, dip, wring, etc. Besides, my mother’s purpose was not to have me do the job as well as she would have done it, but to teach me a fundamental citizenship skill as well as the value of a clean and tidy environment. As we Boomers were told (but few children, these days, hear), “Good citizenship begins in the home.” As for washing clothes in a tub, it was a simple matter of grabbing two handfuls of fabric and rubbing them together until the grass stains were eradicated. Again, not complicated.

My lessons in home management continued after Mom’s remarriage. One summer, at age twelve, I painted our split-level home. Thankfully, we were then living in a Chicago suburb where it was not quite as humid as Charleston and my water, courtesy of an actual refrigerator-freezer (as opposed to the Charleston ice box), was iced. (One of my more vivid early memories is the regular visits of the iceman with his tongs.)

Teaching children that there is no such thing as a free lunch, that consumption must be balanced with contribution, is essential to the maintenance of a civil society. I can’t quite wrap my head around thinking one’s youngster is a genius and yet expecting virtually nothing from him. After all, one truly respects a child by expecting, reasonably, of him.

May we never forget freedom is not free Memorial means to “remember” and every year on the last Monday in May, we honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice with their Dr. Billy Holland lives in the line of active military service while protecting and defending the country they loved. For those of you that have family members and close friends who died fighting for our freedoms, we can know they perished for a cause greater than their own.

What do you think about when you hear the words Memorial Day and does it have personal significance?

Unfortunately, for some Americans, the true meaning of Memorial Day has been seemingly lost. It’s common for people to be glad for another federal holiday and a three-day weekend.

Some recognize the occasion as the beginning of summer and celebrate with a cookout. Then there are the parents, spouses, siblings, and children who will touch their loved one’s name on a military memorial wall, and place flowers on their grave. My mother’s youngest brother Clinton was 19years-old when he was killed on a battlefield in Korea. Clinton (who was nicknamed Kenny), and his cousin Thomas both went into the army together and had dreams of a happy life after the war, but neither one returned.

Memorial Day is often confused with Veterans Day or even Armed Forces Day, and though it’s highly appropriate to honor all our veterans, living and dead, and to recognize their immeasurable contributions to our country, this is not the true meaning of Memorial Day. So, why do so many Americans feel uncomfortable and refuse to acknowledge our fallen patriots? We realize our human nature tends to avoid the unpleasant, and this is natural, nonetheless, these individuals deserve our respect and honor.

The tradition of the Memorial Day celebration began on May 30, 1868, as an initiative by Major General John A. Logan. The event was held with a large gathering of people decorating the graves of thousands of military personnel. After speeches by officials, children from an orphanage made their way through the cemetery, singing hymns. New York was the first state to declare Memorial Day as an official holiday, followed by other states. The southern province ob-

14

May 30, 2022

served it separately until the completion of World War I, after which the Memorial Day celebration included all the Americans who sacrificed their lives in any war. Official guidelines say the flag in all administrative buildings should be displayed at half-staff.

In 2000, President Bill Clinton implemented 'The National Moment of Remembrance Act' to encourage all Americans to voluntarily stop wherever they are at 3 PM local time on Memorial Day for a moment of silence to honor those who have died in service to the nation.

I want to share this true account about private George Watson, a member of the Army’s 29th Quartermaster Regiment who hailed from Birmingham, Alabama. On March 8, 1943, he was far from home in the Pacific theater.

His unit was on board the Dutch steamer USAT Jacob near Porloch Harbor, New Guinea, when it came under a sudden and devastating attack from Japanese bomber planes. The cargo ship was destroyed after sustaining several direct hits and had to be abandoned. Chances of survival seemed slim to the frightened men floating helplessly in the ocean as enemy fire continued to rain down on them. At that moment, Watson demonstrated bravery worthy of the most heroic warrior. Without thought for his own safety or survival, he dived into the water and started swimming to those who were drowning, pulling his injured and helpless comrades to the few available life rafts. No one is certain how many men he saved, but according to eyewitnesses, it is certain that in his relentless efforts, many men lived because of his fearless courage.

George continued until finally becoming so fatigued he did not have the strength to avoid the powerful suction when the ship began to sink. Watson, along with four other valiant sailors, disappeared beneath the waves. For extraordinary heroism on the front lines of combat, Watson became the first black American soldier to receive the Distinguished Service Cross. His love for others and demonstration of selflessness were even further recognized when he was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor during a 1997 ceremony. Because Watson had no family members to claim his medals, citations, honors, and other awards, they are proudly displayed by the U.S. Army Quartermaster Museum at Fort Lee, Virginia. George Watson field at Fort Benning, and The United States Navy ship, USNS Watson, is named after him.

Trump declares Wyoming 'ultra' Regardless of Sussmann verdict, trial shows feds' Alfa Bank probe was rooted in falsehoods, secrecy MAGA country, makes clear Cheney only part of larger RINO purge plan

By Natalia Mittelstadt EDITOR’S NOTE—This section is reserved as an editorial and may not necessarily reflect the policy of this publication.

Outside of the Bible, the US Constitution is the most powerful document on earth. It lays out the sovereignty and Godgiven rights of all of us. It has kept us out of COVID camps (see Australia). Keep a keen eye on those that want to subvert it or manipulate it.

This is serious. ***** GUNS AND CONTROL Turkey established gun control in 1911. Soon after, 1.5 million Armenians unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.

The Soviet Union established gun control in 1929. Soon after, about 20 million dissidents unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.

China established gun control in 1935. Soon after, 20 million political dissidents unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.

Germany established gun control in 1938. Soon after, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.

Cambodia established gun control in 1956.

Soon after, one million people unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.

Guatemala established gun control in 1964.

Soon after, 100,000 Mayan Indians unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.

Uganda established gun control in 1970. Soon after, 300,000 Christians unable to defend themselves were rounded up (Continued on page 16)

Regardless of the verdict in the trial of Michael Sussmann, one constant has emerged: the FBI investigation of TrumpRussia collusion that Sussmann set in motion was rife with secrecy and falsehood.

Special Counsel John Durham charged the former Clinton campaign lawyer last year with making a false statement to the FBI when he allegedly told then-FBI General Counsel James Baker that he was not representing any client in relaying since-debunked allegations about a secret communications channel between Russia's Alfa Bank and the Trump Organization.

Durham's team believes it has presented evidence that proves Sussmann was in fact working on behalf of two clients at the time — the Clinton campaign and tech firm executive Rodney Joffe.

Sussmann has pled not guilty, but if convicted, he faces up to five years in prison.

Examples of falsehoods and concealment that have emerged in the court record over the course of the Sussmann trial include: *Sussmann allegedly told Baker he was not representing any clients when bringing the Alfa Bank allegation. However, billing records show that Sussmann billed the Clinton campaign for what appeared to be various items related to the Alfa Bank narrative around the time he was pushing it to the FBI, such as calls and meetings with fellow Perkins Coie law partner Marc Elias and Joffe, calls with and regarding the media, work on white papers, and the purchase of thumb drives. *Joffe, who was a confidential human source for

the bureau at the time, allegedly gave the FBI the data about the allegation both through Sussmann and then-FBI agent Tom Grasso.

Grasso, who had previously worked with Joffe on FBI investigations and considered him a friend, then passed the additional data along to the Chicago team that was investigating, bypassing Joffe's FBI handler. *Baker has shown some inconsistency on the central question at issue in the trial — whether Sussmann was transparent with him about whether he was acting on behalf of a client. The defense noted in crossexamination that, in Baker's interview with the DOJ Office of the Inspector General, he said Sussmann had met with him on behalf of clients who were cybersecurity experts. Baker, however, explained that his statement to the OIG was "inaccurate," "imprecise," and a "mistake," but not a lie, as he was just summarizing what he said was already in transcripts from his testimony to Congress in October 2018. *Baker did not disclose the source of the data underlying the Alfa Bank narrative to the FBI agents collecting it from him. One of those agents was FBI agent Scott Hellman, who found it frustrating that he wasn't told the identity of the source to aid in his analysis of the data. *FBI agent Ryan Gaynor shielded the identity of the source behind the Alfa Bank story from the FBI Chicago Division team tasked with investigating it, claiming that FBI leadership had placed a "close-hold" on Sussmann's identity.

Gaynor, however, did not initially tell the special counsel of the close-hold, prompting prosecutors to change his status in their investigation from a witness to a target. Gaynor later claimed that after reviewing his notes, he

New Documents Reveal Secret Plans U.S. Government Has for Doomsday Scenarios

IRS squanders nearly $1B in erroneous pandemic credits, won't try to recoup: Treasury watchdog

Newly released documents from the U.S. government have shed light on how the White House might respond to potential doomsday scenarios if they were to come to fruition.

Despite 6% budget increase, expected addition of 10,000 agents, IRS claims it can't spare resources to recover $600M in bungled payments.

The classified directives, which date back to the Cold War, invoke emergency and wartime powers. There appear to have been significant changes to the directives after the September 11, 2001, Islamic terrorist attacks on the U.S. The report said that some of the new documents, which come from George W. Bush’s administration, indicate a focus on a government “take over or shut down [of] communications networks in wartime.”

The Bush administration appears to have expanded the number of directives from 48 to 56.

The documents also indicate that the Justice Department in 2008 were revising a draft order due to a recent Supreme Court ruling, which the report suggests could be related to the Second Amendment or the rights

of detainees.

The documents show that the number of categories that the directives focused on has expanded from one, which appears to have been a nuclear attack, to seven, which are classified.

The New York Times reported:

The Golden Horseshoe is a weekly designation from Just The News intended to highlight egregious examples of wasteful taxpayer spending by the government. The award is named for the horseshoe-shaped toilet seats for military airplanes that cost the Pentagon a whopping $640 each back in the 1980s.

For example, they included directives imposing versions of martial law, censoring information crossing the border and suspending court hearings for detained people. It is unclear whether the current set includes similar actions.

This week's Golden Horseshoe is awarded to the IRS for issuing almost $1 billion in improper pandemic tax credits — and rebuffing an inspector general's recommendations to recover the erroneous payments.

Other orders from that era included a declaration that a state of war existed, a directive to arrange for reconvening Congress at a secure site, and the creation of an agency empowered to impose sweeping controls over the economy. That agency, reporting to the president, could enact controls like requisitioning private property and allocating materials; imposing wage, price and rent controls; rationing; and settling labor disputes.

The tax collectors issued potentially $898 million in improper Recovery Rebate Credits (RRCs) to ineligible individuals, including potential nonresident aliens, according to a final audit report by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA).

Advertisements The report said that a lot of what is known about the directives comes from the Cold War-era versions of the documents because more of those documents have been declassified.

The CARES Act authorized Economic Impact Payments in varying amounts depending on income and filing status.

Any eligible individual who did not receive the stimulus payment could claim the missing amount on their tax return as an RRC on their taxes in 2020 and 2021.

"As of May 27, 2021, the IRS had processed 26.3 million tax returns with RRC claims totaling $39.2 billion," according to the TIGTA final audit report. "Of these, the IRS issued potentially improper RRC payments totaling $898 million.

These include $79.8 million in the RRC that should have been paid to

eligible individuals and $818.5 million in the RRC that was paid to ineligible individuals."

The IRS declined to review or take steps to recover approximately two -thirds of the erroneously disbursed amounts, the inspector general revealed.

"The IRS did not agree to review erroneous payments totaling nearly $598 million that were paid to ineligible individuals as of May 27, 2021," the IG said. "The IRS also did not agree to conduct analysis to identify and recover additional erroneous RRC payments issued after May 27, 2021."

The watchdog found potentially 355,015 individuals were erroneously issued the payments, which included "ineligible dependents, nonresidents, and individuals associated with a credit from a U.S. Territory."

There were 75,594 tax returns with RRCs for more than $125 million that the IRS issued to potentially nonresident aliens, the TIG found.

IRS programming, errors by examiners in their Error Resolution Department, and timing issues all contributed to the improper payments, according to the watchdog, which found that while the IRS did have a 99.3% accuracy rate, the 0.7% errors totaled nearly $898 million.

The IRS agreed with just eight of 22 of the inspector general's recommendations.

Rejecting a recommendation to recover improper claims processed after May 27, 2021, Commissioner of the Wage and Investment Division

Kenneth Corbin wrote to Deputy IG Michael McKenney that reviewing those claims "would require us to divert limited resources where there is only a 0.7 percent projected error rate."

The IRS disputed the premise underlying the IG's recommendation to review the 75,594 potentially nonresident alien tax returns.

"We disagree with TIGTA's methodology to identify taxpayers who were potentially nonresident aliens," Corbin wrote. "The exemption from employer withholding of Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) taxes is not a proxy for an individual's status as a resident alien or nonresident alien."

The IG also recommended the IRS review the 14,508 cases in which RRCs were improperly issued when dependents were claimed on someone else's taxes and take steps to recover the erroneous payments. Rejecting the auditor's recommendation, Corbin defended the adequacy of existing IRS compliance checks and selective examination of ineligible claims within resource limitations.

Declining to review such ineligible claims processed after May 27, 2021, Corbin said the recovery effort "would require the IRS to divert limited resources to review these returns when such a small percentage, five one-hundredths of one percent, are projected to be affected by the issue."

Democrats increased the IRS budget by 6% in the recent omnibus spending legislation, and an additional 10,000 agents were expected to be hired.
