Chris Hedges wrote a timely and most interesting article on March 8th on Truthdig entitled, Calling All Rebels wherehe concluded " Those who do not rebel in our age of totalitarian capitalism and who convince themselves that there is no alternative to collaboration are complicit in their own enslavement.

Here is the most clear paragraph in the IRM (Infernal Revenue Manual):
The IRS warns not to trust their forms - when it matters :

in southern Afghanistan and the soldiers may not have satisfied rules of engagement designed to avoid the killing of innocents, Afghan and coalition officials said Monday.
