In an earlier blog I expressed my view that the behavior of the IRS, especially in its tax-exempt division, represents the most corrupt-evil-government activity in the history of the American government.
I was not optimistic that Congress would be able to do much to correct the problem because the Justice Department is necessary for prosecution and the current Justice Department is nearly as corrupt as the IRS.
My solution was to find the internal documents and e-mails that would result in public action on many levels if it could be published on the Internet.
So far I have not been successful in finding the hacker to get those documents and publish them.
I have had much contact with hackers from their earliest days. A good friend of mine was Capt. Crunch ( John Draper) who was the father of phone freaking. John's gang was into exploring the phone system. The freaks became the hackers of the Internet. I knew many hackers in those days and Stewart Brand sponsored the first hackers conference in the early 1980's.
Which goes to the point that hackers tend to be young. I might have known some as I grew older but I did not maintain my contacts.
Because hacking and cyber-spying have become so geo-politically important and operate at the leading-edge of technology, one has to be a deep insider and be proven trustworthy enough to get into their world.
Today I would have to come up from my early teenage years into the hacker's social network because that is where trust and confidence arises. People do not expect a fellow teenager to be working for an international police authority.
I haven't given up on finding a hacker to go after the IRS fraud and publish it.
I am not optimistic about my ability to do this.
