American tax officials

Chapter 320 Media mogul Murdoch

"Get me a copy of the Wall Street Journal's materials!"

Although the IRS said that as long as he could get into the IRS, the change of power in the central government was not a simple matter. The process would take at least ten days. He planned to use this time to deal with the public opinion problem first.

He wouldn't care if things continued to go on like this, but he was afraid that the higher-ups at the General Administration wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure and would postpone it or change their minds again, which would leave him in despair.

……

Meanwhile, on the east coast of New York, on Senado Island, a large number of helicopters and yachts arrived, and Freemasons disembarked and entered the manor.

As the servant rang the bell on the second floor, the Freemasons stopped talking and orderly went upstairs to the meeting room.

Once everyone was present, the door was closed, and the atmosphere became somewhat subdued.

After a while, Rieta's appearance in the corridor caused all the members to stand up. Only after he sat down and waved his hand did everyone sit down.

"Amazon Group, utterly defeated! What have you all been doing?!"

In the past, Henrietta would not speak first during Freemason meetings, but would listen to the members and then express his opinion when it was time to make a decision.

Now, before anyone could say much about the matter, he directly voiced his accusations, which shows that he was truly angry.

However, there was a reason why he was so angry.

As a global e-commerce giant, Amazon ranks among the top 500 companies in the world. For the Freemasons, it is a core business with significant interests.

David's actions this time have caused the company's market value to evaporate by hundreds of billions, and they also have to pay such a large fine, resulting in huge losses for their group.

But this isn't even the most serious one.

In recent years, the Freemasons have been running rampant in America, even overshadowing the Onsa Group, and are showing signs of becoming the dominant force.

However, in recent times, they couldn't protect the Disney family, they couldn't protect the Sackler family, they couldn't protect cryptocurrency companies like Ethereum USDT that are closely related to them, and now they can't even protect Amazon, a company with enormous influence. What will outsiders think of this?

There are certainly many people outside who believe that the Freemasons are no longer powerful, and may even be at risk of collapsing.

And elites like Jeff Bezos, who have no Jewish blood but are attached to them, must have also experienced some wavering.

After all, why would I attach myself to you Freemasons and seek huge benefits for you?

It's all for mutual benefit!

Now the IRS is targeting me, and it's even affecting everyone's interests, while the Freemasons are doing nothing. So why should I still rely on you and follow you?

Therefore, the Amazon incident directly shook the foundation of their Freemasonry, and its destructive power was even greater than that of the previous Disney family and Sackler family incidents. This is why Henrietta was so angry and even took the initiative to convene a Freemason meeting today!

Hearing Henrietta's angry accusations, everyone present, including the seven great families, lowered their heads, feeling somewhat aggrieved.

It's not fair to say they did nothing. If it weren't for the bald guy's influence at the end, it might have been Jeff who was sentenced, not those small fry from Lakruva.

Jeff, as a four-time richest man and such a prominent figure, would be two or three times more devastating to them if he were to go to jail.

But there was nothing they could do; given the circumstances, it was already quite an achievement that they managed to save Jeff.

After all, the trial was broadcast live nationwide, and the whole country saw that Amazon's tax evasion and tax violations were well-documented, and most importantly, there was a hidden tax, which directly aroused the anger of the people across the country.

Therefore, no matter how powerful they are, they absolutely cannot protect Dumb Mars.

"What's wrong? Are you all deaf? Can anyone tell me what we should do next?!"

Henrietta raised her questioning voice once again, her eyes scanning back and forth among the members in the room.

Finally, Joshua Mogan couldn't hold back any longer. He spoke up, "Mr. Henrietta, I think that since the Amazon incident has already happened, further investigation is pointless. Now we face a very serious issue: David is rumored to be transferred to the Washington headquarters. He's only a regional director now, and he's already so arrogant. Imagine what will happen to us once he's placed in the power center of this agency?"

What is now known is that David has colluded with the Ansar Group, and the Ansar Group's ambition is also very clear: to use David as a tool to kill them.

In addition, the Kennedy family was also subtly influencing David through his pillow talk.

This family and their Freemasons have an irreconcilable feud.

So once David really enters the central power structure of the IRS, it's foreseeable that he won't fare as well as the Freemasons.

Another point is that if David enters the central power structure of the IRS, the power and resources he controls will certainly be incomparable to those of a current director. If he were to take action against them, the damage would likely be many times greater than it is now.

Thinking of this, many Freemasons present looked rather distressed.

"I've heard about this too, Kudus. Didn't I tell you to subtly probe the president's opinion on this matter? Can you make something of it?"

The question was asked by Prescott, the head of the Rockefeller family.

"The president means that, apart from the positions of commissioner and chief counsel, personnel changes at the top of the IRS are not under his jurisdiction."

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Kudus replied helplessly.

"What a cunning old fox..."

Prescott muttered something under his breath.

Since the president said that, it means he doesn't want to get involved in this matter, so it seems that trying to use the president to put pressure on the IRS to prevent David from getting in is not going to work.

"What did the higher-ups at the IRS say? Do they really intend to let David into headquarters? They should be clear about our stance on David's entry into headquarters."

This time, it was Henrietta who spoke up.

"Without the interference of the Ansar, the IRS leadership wouldn't have dared to transfer David to headquarters under our influence, and even if they did, it wouldn't have been so quick. But what's hateful is that the Ansar have given them some benefits or exerted some pressure, causing the IRS leadership to act so willfully now, and there's nothing we can do about it now."

Hearing Joshua's answer, Henrietta's expression darkened further. He said, "You all know that this person is extremely destructive. If he gets into Washington headquarters, we'll likely face even greater difficulties. So, can anyone tell me how to stop him from entering Washington headquarters?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present stared at each other in disbelief, but no one dared to respond for a long time.

The White House clearly doesn't want to get involved in this matter, and the IRS leadership is so determined to do things their own way. What else can they do to stop them?

You can't just send people to tie David's hands and feet and prevent him from stepping into the Washington headquarters, can you?

Furthermore, David's transfer to the General Staff is certainly not to serve as the Director General or Chief Advisor. These two positions require nomination by the President and confirmation by the Senate before an appointment can be made.

So if David were to be transferred to one of these two positions, they could try to intervene through the Senate and have a chance to remove him from office.

Apart from these two positions, other senior positions in the IRS do not require nomination by the Senate or the President; they only require approval from their internal senior management meetings before an appointment can be made.

Therefore, they don't seem to have any good way to stop David from entering the IRS's power center.

"Hmm... It seems that there are only two feasible ways to prevent David from becoming the central figure of power in the IRS."

The atmosphere froze for a long time before a voice rang out, causing everyone to turn their heads to look. It turned out that the speaker was media mogul Rupert Murdoch.

In terms of wealth, Murdoch is not among the top in the group present, but in terms of influence, he is definitely a pivotal figure in the Freemasonry.

The reason is quite simple: he has control of a tool that is very important to the Freemasons—the media!

According to statistics, Murdoch controls a total of 175 media companies worldwide.

The image of the Jewish people over the years—their suffering, their rebirth, and their gradual evolution into world leaders—is largely a product of their media group's propaganda and packaging.

He also played a significant role in promoting Jewish culture and infiltrating the elites.

Tell me about it.

Everyone present looked at him expectantly.

"The first method is simple and brutal. We can replicate the approach we used on President Kennedy and just take him out. That would solve everything."

These words stunned everyone present, but someone quickly shouted, "Fuck, what kind of international joke is this? Is this what you call a solution?"

"Taking him out is easy, but you have to think about the consequences. It's tantamount to going to war with the IRS, and they're armed!"

"He needs evidence to investigate us now, but if we take him out, it won't be as simple as just investigating a case. What if they label us as terrorists and send in armed forces to counter-terrorism us?"

When they came to their senses, everyone thought Murdoch had gone mad.

Although everyone present hated David and hoped that he would get hit by a car or drown one day, they were all secretly hoping that he would get hit by a car or drown.

But to be honest, they wouldn't dare to actually do it.

The reason is simple: the IRS is no ordinary department; it has its own private armed forces.

If they dare to lay a hand on David, and the IRS finds out, what will they do if the IRS opens fire in a counter-terrorism operation?

Despite the Freemasons' immense influence, which can even shake the American economy, the economy is ultimately just a series of data.

No matter how good your data is, you can't use it to stop someone from using real guns and cannons.

On the other hand, they envied the Onsa people in this respect; if they were Onsa, they might dare to have such thoughts.

After all, the Anssa people at least control the gun barrels, so even if they kill David, they're not necessarily doomed.

"I was just saying, you guys don't need to get so worked up..."

Murdoch chuckled and then said, "Alright, the second method is also very simple, and I'm already doing it. That is to exert pressure by manipulating public opinion. Although David has made many contributions, he is too young and his promotion speed is too fast. If we add some hints of backroom deals to him, the pressure from public opinion may prevent him from entering the power center of the IRS."

"So the Wall Street Journal was acting on your instructions. But then again, using public opinion to exert pressure is a good method!"

"The power of public opinion is indeed very strong; even the president faces difficulties with it. If public opinion is strong enough, it's entirely possible for senior IRS officials to change their minds!"

"Hmm... this method is worth trying out."

The Wall Street Journal is a media outlet owned by the Murdoch Group, and the reason why this media outlet has repeatedly come out to criticize David is naturally because it has been instructed by Murdoch.

After hearing that public opinion could be used to deal with David and the IRS, most of the senior officials present thought this method was feasible.

"Alright, in that case, this matter will be your responsibility, Murdoch. If you need any assistance, feel free to contact anyone. And all of you must cooperate!"

Hearing Henrietta's words, Murdoch was secretly delighted.

The main reason he volunteered to deal with David was to improve his own status within the Freemason group.

If this attempt to stop David succeeds, he will have made a great contribution. Coupled with his contributions to the group's publicity over the years, he might be able to request a share of the profits from the Federal Reserve.

For many years, the Federal Reserve has been controlled by the eight families, including the Rothschilds. Many other members have long had their opinions, and Murdoch was naturally one of them.

After all, we are all members of the Freemasonry group. As the head of the Rothschild family and the leader of the Federal Reserve, we dare not have any objections.

But the other seven families have not only made a fortune by exploiting the Federal Reserve over the years, but have also accumulated a great deal of family prestige. It's about time for a change of leadership.

Even if we don't change the personnel, we should at least add a few more seats so that we can also enjoy this benefit.

Of course, to achieve this goal, the most important thing right now is to successfully snipe David, who has one foot in the General Bureau. With that in mind, Murdoch secretly began to make plans.
