The Openwashing Shills Initiative (OSI) - Part III: IRS and Status of OSI
In Part I and in Part II we said we had evidence of conduct which would render the OSI "afoul" of rules and potentially susceptible to investigation, then scuttling. For now we keep that under the wraps. Several people are aware of this and have possession of the proof.
"I have to tell you I have the smoking gun," one source told us, "I followed the money and I found the paperwork trail."
"However, I want to make sure I go through the right channels."
"As this information could be valuable in revoking their nonprofit status."
"You see," said the source. "For years, they claim to the US IRS that they do not lobby yet in the EU for years they have been filing not only that they do lobby but a specific dollar amount."
"This IRS issue" is real and is provable. "May not be enough for their status to be revoked, but it would mean" big changes. "Any organization or sponsor would need to pay taxes on what they were given and so who’s gonna sponsor them if they have to pay taxes on" that money? "The amount they grant the OSI," says the source, would no longer be tax-exempt. "This is really bad for them and they should be in a state of panic."
"They lied to the US IRS and there’s a paper trail," the source concluded.
We plan to show several more scandals in the coming weeks and then get back to the IRS issue, probably in August or in September. █
