***UPDATE***
The auto-play-won’t-turn-off video I embedded from The Daily Caller was too much for my PTSD brain. I have left the link in place so you can see that interview; it’s very good. In its place is a snip of Mrs. Gerritson’s testimony to the House Ways and Means Committee earlier this month. You can search for the whole seven minutes or so on other You Tube channels, using her name, Becky Gerritson.
From Grae Stafford at The Daily Caller, who calls this “the human face of the IRS scandal”.
Gerritson is the president and founder of the Wetumpka Tea Party in Alabama. In an exclusive — and at times, emotional — interview with The Daily Caller, she spoke about the fear and mistrust in her life since the IRS targeted her and other Americans on the basis of their political beliefs.
Gerritson and her testimony before the House Ways and Means Committee put a human face on the IRS scandal and made her an overnight sensation.
“I’m a born free American woman, wife, mother and citizen. And I’m telling my government that you’ve forgotten your place,” Gerritson testified.
In an interview with TheDC’s special correspondent Ginni Thomas, Gerritson said that it appears that the government wants its citizens to fear it.
Many people have long ‘joked’ that the U.S. has its very own KGB in the persons of those government employees in the IRS who perform tax audits.
As someone who was born in the U.K. but now lives in Europe and who has visited the U.S.A. in 2010 ( Texas ) I am horrified at the abandonment of Democratic principles by the Obama administration, I grew up with refugees from the old Soviet Union the ideology of which the U.S. was staunchly set against but now I see the same creeping totalitarianism in Europe as the U.S.A. I very much admire this stand by Mrs.Gerritson and her genuine concerns that are cause for alarm, I sincerely hope the peoples of the so called rapidly diminishing free world listen to her and wake from their stupor before it is too late to watch the great American nation slide into 3rd world socialism.
You will know that here in Britain we have the same feeling about political parties, in fact Nigel Farage of UKIP says you cannot put a cigarette paper between their policies. This is because they have coalesced to follow the globalist, internationalist, culturally marxist, totalitarian one world agenda. The only way to destroy the homogeneous nation states of Europe and to create the first step to one world government that is the EU is to flood it with third world immigrants so as to destroy national identity. This was the Marxists’ aim but it is also as the UN commissioner on migration, Peter Sutherland, has told us, the aim of the UN with further mass thid world immigration into Europe to follow. In order to cope with the natural reaction to this by indigenous Europeans you have to silence a nationalist backlash by creating the same fear of government that has now arrived in America. People naturally want to live with their own race and culture. To make them do otherwise you have to terrorise them into submission. I hope that the Americans will rebel because somebody has to soon as one step towards one world government is to silence or eliminte those of European stock with high i.q. levels and a love of freedom and democracy. Interesting that China and Japan are listed elsewhere as being two now of the only remaining major homogeneous nations on earth. They share or even exceed Europeans’ i.q. levels, perhaps they are brighter because they have not allowed themselves to be manipulated into agreeing to their own genocide and replacement by third world peoples, much less resistant to international socialism. The real fly in the ointment for them is Russia, however, who, it was always predicted would save the rest of the white race from international socialism/Marxism and return them to their European Christian civilisation. America, do not give up your weapons for this is what they want. And behind it all, some very rich people who want us all as slaves. Glad to see the lady crying. Many of us feel that way now as we are so helpless against it all; much like those in the cattle trucks on their way to the concentration camps.
With an idiot like Kerry negotiating with the Taliban, I am afraid.
Yeah. But the woman gave us Benghazi, and that seems to have been on purpose.
BTW, the woman behind Kerry is Teresa Heinz. I think she dropped the “Kerry” part when they lost the presidential election in 2004. She has control of several waay left ‘foundations’.
Another btw, Kerry’s father was in the Foreign Service. One of those Blame America First types:
Star-Spangled Mirror: America’s Image of Itself and the World [Hardcover]
It’s evidently being used now as a text in some graduate classes.
Which foreign service employed Kerry’s father – Nazis or Commies?
The son seems to be in the service of Islamists.

Yes! It’s driving me crazy. Have an emergency note into Vlad Tepes.
When it was created, I predicted that HLS would become the MKVD of the US. I hate being right about it. The IRS is simply one of many enforcement arms of the government now. Welcome to the USSA.
In light of this post and the comments, I recommend all those interested to read Diana West’s new book “American Betrayal”. It’s a doozy!
