IRS employees asked to investigate Scientology corruption of IRS

In an open letter, FACTNet, a non-profit organization is asking all IRS

employees to independently investigate ScientologyÂ’s corruption of IRS

officials, since the IRS is stonewalling an official investigation. The

Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Washington Post, and many other

leading US newspapers have published editorials and stories regarding

highly suspicious deals between Scientology and IRS officials.

Allegations surrounding the cult of ScientologyÂ’s corruption of the IRS

and IRS officials include:

1.Scientology forced the IRS into submission by filing 2,200 lawsuits

against the agency.

2.Scientology intimidated individual IRS agents and their families.

3. Scientology secretly paid one or more IRS officials to get tax-exempt

status, which the IRS justifiably denied Scientology for 30 years.

4. Scientology secretly paid one or more IRS officials to get its taxes

reduced by $1 billion, or 99% of what Scientology estimated it owed. The

amount of this reduction was previously unheard of for any organization,

non-profit or for-profit.

5. IRS officials enacted these transactions with Scientology officials

in secret meetings and with secret agreements.

6. Scientology hired former Assistant Commissioner of the IRS Meade

Emory to form a new corporate structure designed exclusively to attain

the desired tax-exempt status. Meade Emory also served as a director of

the new corporation. Previously, while employed at the IRS, Emory was

involved in regulating Scientology and had access to confidential IRS

information on Scientology that may have unfairly and illegally

advantaged ScientologyÂ’s tax-exempt application and approval process.

7.Scientology committed extensive fraud in its application for

tax-exempt status. Scientology has falsely stated its new corporate

structure has integrity among the myriad of Scientology-related

corporations. The fraud surrounding ScientologyÂ’s claims of corporate

integrity in its IRS application is so extensive that a Los Angeles

Superior Court judge ruled that several of ScientologyÂ’s main

corporations (the Church of Scientology International, Religious

Technology Corporation, and the Church of Scientology of California) are

not legally independent but rather are alter egos of one another,

conclusively exposing ScientologyÂ’s corporate scam.

Underscoring this corporate controversy with the IRS, one of

ScientologyÂ’s top attorneys (Sam Rosen of Paul Hastings Janofsky and

Walker) recently voiced a vehement protest to the ruling on

ScientologyÂ’s corporate structure, saying it flies in the face of the

deal Scientology made with IRS officials. He was implying that because

ScientologyÂ’s corporate structure was submitted in its IRS tax-exempt

application, and was lavishly rubber-stamped by IRS officials, the judge

in the Los Angeles Superior Court could not overrule it, despite his

careful research and legal right. For the full courageous ruling by this

judge, see .

Finally, employees of the IRS are also being asked to investigate one

other area of this cover-up: the IRS officials who ordered the recent

audits on FACTNet and its individual directors. FACTNet has been

informed that its audit last month came as retaliation for the

editorials it published on the corruption of the IRS by the worldÂ’s most

dangerous cult, Scientology (AKA Dianetics).

The following will help IRS employees and other interested parties

investigate these allegations:

One of FACTNetÂ’s earlier editorials on Scientology and the IRS, "Did the

cult Scientology bludgeon the IRS into a billion dollar tax revenue

give-away?" (Note, this editorial does not include newer information

that Scientology had an IRS insider working for it, but does provide a

comprehensive background on the IRS and Scientology). At
