IRS Collapse Continues To Unfold

Will the External Revenue Service (ERS) replace the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)?

The Bureau of Internal Revenue, more ominously known as the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), was created in 1913. The IRS seal features a double ring with the word "Treasury" at the top and "Internal Revenue Service" at the bottom. A shield is positioned in the center featuring images of scales, a key, and a chevron with 13 stars.

The IRS entered the scene when the 16th Amendment was ratified in 1913, authorizing Congress to impose a tax on income.

The Sixteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified on February 3, 1913. This amendment grants Congress the power to levy and collect income taxes, without apportionment among the states or based on any census.

In 1913, the Sixteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified, authorizing Congress to impose a tax on income and leading to the creation of the Bureau of Internal Revenue. In 1953, the agency was renamed the Internal Revenue Service, and in subsequent decades underwent numerous reforms and reorganizations, most significantly in the 1990s.

Later in December of 1913, the behemoth entity known as the Federal Reserve was created.

The Federal Reserve System (often shortened to the Federal Reserve, or simply the Fed) is the central banking system of the United States. It was created on December 23, 1913, with the enactment of the Federal Reserve Act, after a series of financial panics (particularly the panic of 1907) led to the desire for central control of the monetary system in order to alleviate financial crises.

The Federal Reserve and the IRS have been linked together for 112 years. They are like two peas in a pod.

Over the past 4 months, the pending collapse of the IRS has become more and more palpable.

On the eve of “tax day” on 4/14/25, several sources indicated that the Chief Information, Rajiv Uppal, would be leaving his post as of 4/28/25.

And then on “tax day” on 4/15/25, it was reported that 20,000+ IRS employees, or about 20% of the staff at the IRS, had decided to take buy-out offers.

This news was not only shocking, but it was also stunningly ironic to be coming out on or around “tax day.”

In addition, this most recent news came on the heels of several other resignations or firings of top-tier, senior level IRS executives. IRS Commissioner, Danny Werfel, was forced to resign on 1/18/25 and acting IRS Commissioner, Melanie Krause resigned on 4/10/25.

This unprecedented employee upheaval at the IRS continued on 4/18/25 as IRS Chief, Gary Shapley was sent packing.

More plainly stated, we are witnessing quite the exodus of employees at the IRS. Is this all just political theater or a resounding prelude to the closing down of the IRS?

CNN and other sources were reporting that IRS audit rates were plunging, which represents yet another indicator that IRS revenues from income tax will be decreasing dramatically.

Of course, the grave fear linked to all of this by the US MSM is of little or no concern with DOGE trimming the fat off nearly every federal bureaucratic agency to ever exist. Simply put, the federal government probably doesn’t need at least 50% of the income tax revenues collected.

Donald J. Trump has suggested on more than one occasion that he plans to create a federal agency that will manage revenues externally generated from tariffs. In January 2025, Trump formally announced that he planned to create the External Revenue Service to collect these financial inflows.

The US Debt Clock Telegram page was quoting Trump as stating that the revenues from tariffs could be so great that it will replace income tax, eliminating the need for the IRS altogether. These statements were made during a Fox news interview.

So what happens if external revenues received from tariffs are so great that they eliminate the need for internal revenues? Is this just some more simultaneous opposite direction parallel runway operations with IRS revenues decreasing simultaneously while ERS revenues begin to kick in?

What happens when Trump’s tariff agreements produce results? Will there suddenly be no need for income taxes or the IRS?

At the end of the day, who cares, right? Well, that depends on perspective. If you think this is all political theater, none of which will ever happen, you are entitled to your opinion. However, if you recognize that we are likely operating under a continuity of government military operation, it forces a person to pay closer attention.

Our “Maha Collective” team of citizen journalists would be remiss to make a firm statement that the IRS is definitely shutting down, but it has certainly become abundantly clear that the IRS is being down-sized. Or better yet, it is clear that the IRS is being right-sized. Constitutionally speaking, the right size of the IRS would be 0 employees with $0 revenues from income tax.

To refresh, the IRS manages “revenues” generated from income tax. The majority of US citizens pay income tax annually, allowing for a vast number of federal programs to exist. The revenues generated from income taxes paid is internal. In short, “We The People” fund the federal government through the income taxes that we pay.

Every tax paying American citizen completely understands that April 15 is D-Day or tax day. Federal income tax filings have been due on 4/15 since 1955. Prior to 1995, taxes were due on March 15.

The filing deadline for individuals was March 1 in 1913 (the first year of a federal income tax), and was changed to March 15 in 1918 and again to April 15 in 1955. Today, the deadline remains April 15, unless it conflicts with a weekend or holiday.

The question remains….Was 4/15/25 the last tax day to ever occur in American history?

Are we witnessing the slow and methodical closure of the IRS in real time?

Will “No Tax On Tips” be the gateway drug that awakens Americans to the fact that the IRS and Federal Reserve, both created in 1913, were nothing more than mechanisms designed to enslave a nation?

Will the External Revenue Service (ERS) replace the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)?

The External Revenue Service is happening. Donald J. Trump (4/27/25)

Is it finally time to bid farewell to the IRS and say hello to the ERS?

Welcome, once again, to the golden age of America!
