The Imperial British Corporate Overlay

Editor's note: The IRS and the ATF went on this raid because they are "claiming that we are all federal citizens of one stripe or another engaged in some activity related to the interstate manufacture, sale, and transport of alcohol, tobacco, and firearms." What is going on here? Well, if we do some background reading, we find: "Not only are the only powers of distraint related to the IRS overtly lodged with the BATF, but, the IRS is not allowed to access distraint powers lodged in any other Agency acting under any other Title of Federal Code -- including Title 27---that is, the BATF Title." This gun shop owner is operating inside this corporate construct and according to IRS and ATF statute laws this raid is "legal." Do these revenue agents understand any of this? Of course not, they are merely order followers. These IRS agents are employed by a private trust fund operated out of Puerto Rico:

20 Armed IRS And ATF Agents Raid Great Falls Gun Store

By Truth Press | June 17, 2023

In an unprecedented move, twenty armed Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) agents carried out a raid on a gun store in Great Falls, Montana, seizing all Form 4473s – documents that record buyer's information during firearms transactions.

Tom Van Hoose, owner of Highwood Creek Outfitters, alleges that he has been under constant surveillance by state and federal agencies for over two years, KRTV reported.

On Wednesday, the gun shop owner reported an unexpected visit from 20 heavily armed IRS agents at his store.

The agents reportedly arrived at the shop early in the morning, as Van Hoose was opening for the day.

"We have now confirmed that both the IRS and the ATF were at Highwood Creek Outfitters in Great Falls around 7 am this morning. Both the IRS and ATF would not say why they were there," KMON Radio reported.

"A spokeswoman for the IRS would only say they were there on official IRS business. The ATF says it was providing assistance to the IRS. We attempted to enter the store today and were stopped by agents at the door who would only say that the gun store is closed and will reopen tomorrow," the news outlet added.

According to Hoose, the federal scrutiny began two years ago and has involved various agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Occupational Safety & Health Administration, the Department of Homeland Security, and now, the Internal Revenue Service.

"They must think we're making a fortune in the gun business to investigate us like this, assuming we're hiding thousands, hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars. However, anyone familiar with gun business profit margins would know that's not the case," Van Hoose told MTN News.

Van Hoose claims that he was simply told his business had been reported, although he remains in the dark about who reported it or why. He conjectures that the whole episode is politically motivated, part of a nationwide pattern.

"I can only assume that it's because of the style of weapons that we have and the press that's so against them," said Van Hoose. "The current administration seems to be hell bent on getting those guns out of the hands of average Americans."

While he admitted that the agents were professional in their conduct, Van Hoose couldn't help but feel violated. The day's operations were disrupted, leading to a significant loss of revenue.
