SPIN BABY SPIN

 

TIMSPINIn a rather pathetic attempt to get himself out of a rather embarrassing situation, a conspiracy nut spun one of the most convoluted and strangest excuses as to why one of the most respected news organizations in the WORLD thoroughly debunked his wild hoax that 35,000 children had been saved by the military aided by the fake and nonexistent PPTF.

https://youtu.be/SjHU5VwoYlA

The conspiracy nut has not been doing well lately as his previous claim that George Floyd was not George Floyd in the choke hold video.

 

Youtube had removed the video claiming it was hate speech. Rather than accept the fact that he has been exposed as both the creator of hate speech and fake news, the conspiracy nut has chosen to dig in and spin wild tales to spin his way out of his dilemma only making matters worse for him in the process.

His antics are turning into an increasing comedy of errors and he continues to destroy himself daily with his weird and nutty claims.

It is both a hilarious and sad thing to watch.

CRYBABY CONSPIRACY NUT THROWS A TANTRUM WHEN HIS VIDEO IS REMOVED FROM YOUTUBE

timfraud2

The conspiracy nut in question has reached a new low and now has been labeled the creator of hate speech by Youtube.

removedyoutube

He is now unable to post any content to Youtube for  a week. Nor is he allowed to live stream which he rarely does anyway since he claims not to be the owner of the channel.

In his video, the conspiracy nut claims that in one part of the video Floyd had hair and a tattoo and in the part showing him in the choke hold suddenly not having hair

Firefox_Screenshot_2020-06-16T17-34-40.638Z

After doing some research and studying of the video, I determined that this was a COPY of the original video. Also there are images of Floyd that clearly debunk the claim by the conspiracy nut.

floydhold

In this image, it is quite clear that Floyd is not bald and does have closely cut hair. The cropping of the image is somewhat degraded from the original video as this is a common side effect of cropping and zooming in of images from your average smartphone.

The effect is known as pixelation

In computer graphics, pixelation is caused by displaying a bitmap or a section of a bitmap at such a large size that individual pixels, small single-colored square display elements that comprise the bitmap, are visible.

The conspiracy nut in question has been caught in the past spreading  nonsensical rumors.

In one instance the conspiracy nut claimed to have received notice that a major media outlet had published a story that the officer charged in the Floyd murder had to commit suicide. This occurred when he was a guest on a Youtube live stream. The conspiracy nut then had to walk his claim when it was revealed that the media source was a hoax and was not published by the outlet in question.

The conspiracy nut (who claims to be an award winning journalist) then claimed that he was duped and blamed whoever sent him the article rather than admit that he did not fact the claim as most competent and professional journalists would have done.

Reuters fact checkers recently debunked the conspiracy nuts 35,000 children were saved by the military.

https://youtu.be/SjHU5VwoYlA

reutersfalse

There are a number of conspiracy nuts that spread varying hoaxes regarding the circumstances behind Floyd’s death. One conspiracy nut is spreading the hoax that the cop in the video is actually an actor from a tv crime series.

actcop

The conspiracy nuts have been struck with multiple false news/information strikes by Facebooks as demonstrated in these examples

false2false1

The conspiracy nut has since uploaded his video to another internet site as he has done in the past. He claims to be appealing the take down notice and an update will take place if there is a change on the part of Youtube regarding this video.

MY POLITICAL NEUTRALITY ENDS TODAY

biden2020

When I first started to write on this blog in 2019 it was for the express purpose to set forth my opinions regarding the Trump administration and the direction this country was going in as a result of his election.

fieldtim

However, I had decided to change the primary subject of this blog towards Timothy Charles Holmseth and those around him. My goal was to provide the truth and point out the actions of this group against an innocent mother of three and to expose the damage they have done to those who put their faith and their money behind Holmseth and the others.

My Youtube channel also followed the same format as this blog. I concentrated on Tim Holmseth and the other fraudsters as well as the Case of Field McConnell who is currently under house arrest in Florida and who is also awaiting trial for making death threats and other threats of violence against the same innocent mother of three.

Now it is a fact that the vast majority of those who participate in the chats on my Murtathon are Trump supporters.

I will still cover the Field McConnel case as it works its way through the Florida Judicial system as well as other cases related to the group of scammers I had been discussing.

I will also be discussing other subjects as I had stated before on my Youtube channel and other social media accounts.

That said, it is now time to turn to the matter at hand in regards to my Youtube channel at this point and what I feel has been occurring during the MURTATHONS.

I have noticed that their support of Trump and some other issues that I disagree with have infiltrated my chat and in some cases the comment section on my Youtube channel despite my requests to them to refrain from discussing topics other than Tim Holmseth and the other frauds that the channel was set up to do.

This is a situation that I can no longer tolerate. I had suspended to a large degree, my MURTATHONS and my MOBILETHONS while deciding how to handle this issue.

My answer is to end my neutral stand and my original position to keep my political views off my blog and my  Youtube channel.

That change will begin today June, 14, 2020 as I begin to cover the political campaigns of Trump and Biden. I am a supporter of Biden and plan on voting for him in November.

joebiden

This country is going in a direction that I completely disagree with and I feel that Donald J Trump is not only NOT the answer but is, instead, the reason why this country is in such disarray and decay today.

If I lose subscribers and support on my Youtube as a result of my decision, so be it.

I do not force people or demand people to comply with my political point of view and I cannot fault anyone who chooses to leave because of what I believe in.

I have only asked that people keep politics OFF the channel regardless who they support.

I will wish anyone who leaves the channel because of my decision well and thank them for sticking with me  up to this point.

Those who choose to stay even though you disagree with me will be welcome to remain and even to state your own beliefs as long as you can do so with respect,

In return, I pledge to do the same.

AND WHY WOULD THE PENTAGON CARE???

lies3

Why indeed? The answer, of course, the Pentagon would absolutely not give a damn. You see, Randi L Erickson exposed herself and her bunch when she wrote to a Youtuber stating and I quote “We created a task force.”

Randi Q Erickson freely admits that she and the group she is associated with created the PPTF and NOT the Pentagon or any agency of the United States government.

Now in her latest idiotic stunt, Randi published a comment on her facebook page:

kimme

Along with the comment above Randi also posted an image of an envelope with Holmseth’s OLD address on it along with the address of the sender being the person of interest in the case of Haleigh Cummings, which is something Randi conveniently LEFT OUT  of her comment.

mletter

Another thing Randi left OUT of her comment was what was IN the envelope. Now one would think that if this was such a spectacular revelation, that she would publish the letter.

However, by NOT publishing the contents, Randi plants the seeds of doubt with her gullible cult followers who will not take the time to do some basic research.

First of all I find it rather odd that the postmark is MISSING. Yes, there is the normal cancellation marks that are generally used to prevent the stamp from being used more than once but THERE IS NO POSTMARK.

Postmarks on stamped letters are generally right near the stamp and are quite visible. In this case it appears there is either not there or is so faded that it is unreadable.

I find it rather odd that Timmy or Randi  were not able to offer a better image of the postmark since even a 5 year old smartphone is capable of taken a better picture than whatever was used to create this poor image.

mistymugone

Randi has another problem. It is called the Florida Sunshine law. In a majority of cases, correctional instutions (prisons) duplicate anything sent to or from a prisoner. This is to prevent shady actions on the part of all parties.

parklandletter
This letter was sent by the Parkland shooter. Virtually all of his writings were made public. I will be filing a records request for the Croslin letter to Holmseth this coming Monday

These letters are also available to the general public. Another problem for Randi is that I live IN FLORIDA and in this case, I live just under a two hour drive to the institute in question.

lowell

It would be a simple matter for me to drive to the institute, explain the situation and request to speak to Misty or her legal representative to determine the circumstances surrounding the letter.

It is rather curious that Randi posted this letter right after my prior article where I pointed out that she had admitted in her own words that the PPTF was NOT created by the United States government but rather by her and other civilians who do nothing more than pester various government agencies with their nonsensical garbage.

Meanwhile the loons who buy into this crap are sending their money to these fraudsters who laugh all the way to the bank.

And thus such as it is on the wild and wacky world of the internet.

WE CREATED A TASK FORCE

lies3

My mission from the beginning of this internet battle with Timothy Charles Holmseth and his associates has been to get to the truth. On June 10th 2019 the truth exploded on Facebook.

The truth, strangely enough, came from Randi Lynn Erickson, the woman I call Timothy Charles Holmseth’s handler.

Now the truth that was revealed by this woman is also laced with lies, but for the most part what she revealed is mostly the truth and a confirmation of what I have been stating in my Youtube videos as being the truth.

Almost a year ago from the date of this writing Timothy Charles Holmseth began to mention The Pentagon Pedophile Task Force. It was an organization he had not mentioned at any time before June 2019 that I am aware of.

partoftaskforce

Suddenly out of nowhere, Timothy Charles Holmseth became the media spokesperson for a secret task force presumably directly connected to the Pentagon and that there was only one person between him and the President of the United States.

Recently, Holmseth appeared as a guest on a Youtube channel.

timchannel

As a result of a number of comments made on that Youtube channel, apparently Randi Erickson felt compelled to write to the operator of the Youtube channel who also had a Facebook page:

I also made a video and posted it on my Youtube channel explaining this online Post and how Randi managed to back up what I have been stating about Tim Holmseth and his PPTF claims.

As you will see, I have placed the post on the Youtube channel as I have done here explaining each exerpt and pointing out what is the truth and what is not.

It is up to those of you who view the video and read through this blog entry to decide for yourselves what is the truth and what is not.

RLE1

Randi starts to outline who she is, her association to what is called the PPTF and her clear bias in favor of Timothy Charles Holmseth, the truth be damned.

RLE2

Randi clearly states that she has been an “advocate” for women who felt they were being victimized by the various CPS agencies and felt it useful to contact Holmseth to see if he could help. How this turned into being an organization created by the Pentagon under orders from President Donald J Trump is a rather convoluted one.

RLE3

Randi has written about her background in the past. She attempted to barge into a case involving a missing child and was rejected by those closely involved in the case. Her main occupation is in the Real Estate field and a minor role as a voter judge.

She has no formal education in the practice of law, does not have a law degree, nor is she a member of any bar association and she has never passed or even taken a bar exam.

RLE4

This portion is both fact and fiction. The man Randi states that was brought into the Holmseth situation was likely an individual who claims to be the Postmaster General of the World. This individual also claims to have ownership of the title 5 United States Flag.

Randi makes the false assertion that E-Clause was created by Congress to do loss prevention, whatever the hell that is.

E-Clause has no contract with the US Congress nor does it have any direct affiliation with the US Congress or any agency of the United States Government. It is nothing more than a useless piece of paper created by a man with an overactive imagination.

RLE6

Hallet and Pendergrass began to flood various courts and government agencies with what was essentially garbage. Nothing in their submissions were ever acted upon. Nothing they said or did helped anyone. Instead their actions have done a lot of harm and may result in several people going to prison because of their actions.

President Trump does not have anything to do with E-Clause. He has never heard of the organization and certainly has never heard of Charis Hallett or Kirk Pendagrass both of whom have criminal records.

RLE7

It is believed that Timothy Holmseth’s second arrest was a direct result of instructions given to him by Randi. A restraining order was issued by the State of Florida by the mother of three children who was being harassed and defamed by Holmseth. Rather than complying with the court order or even bothering to go to court and contest it, Holmseth chose to defy the order and racked up 4 counts of violating the court order.

The Haleigh Cummings case, incidentally, had NOTHING to do with CPS or any custody issues. The child simply vanished in the middle of the night. The then 16 year old live in girlfriend of the biological father claimed to be sound asleep when she vanished.

Both she and her boyfriend/ex-husband are now in prison serving a lengthy sentence for drug trafficking.

This decade old missing child case remains unsolved to this day.

RLE8

It is here that the truth begins to come out. Again, Timothy Charles Holmseth has made the claim that the Pentagon Pedophile Taskforce was created by President Trump and is run through the Pentagon and the Department of Defense. The Pentagon and those within the Department of Defense who were contacted state that there is NO PPTF or anything like it affiliated with the DOD or even the Department of Justice. Nobody has confirmed the existence of the PPTF or its affiliation with any branch of the United States government.

RLE9

This part of the letter is rather interesting. Mr. Cater got involved because he first believed in what Timothy Holmseth was doing. He offered to store Holmseths car and helped him move out  of his apartment. In an apparent bid to completely take over control of Holmseth’s affairs, Randi made a false accusation against Mr. Cater that angered Holmseth and caused him to revoke the Power of Attorney granted to Mr. Cater.

Mr. Cater never, at any time, claimed to be associated with the PPTF.

RLE10

A number of revelations occurred here. At this point of the letter, Timothy Holmseth was a fugitive with a state wide warrant for his arrest issued by the court. Holmseth failed to appear for his second trial and the bench warrant was issued. It is a warrant that is currently in effect.

Randi also purchased all of Timothy Holmseth’s social media accounts and is largely responsible for the contents that are published on them.

She has turned Timothy Holmseth into a puppet on a string.

Randi L Erickson clearly states at this point that the PPTF was created by her and her associates. This section makes it clear that Tim is not telling the truth about the creation and purpose of the PPTF.

Randi states that there is a connection with the White House that has the material belonging to Timothy Holmseth. Once again, nobody in the Trump administration, including the White House has heard of anyone affiliated with Tim Holmseth or the PPTF.

RLE11

While this is not directly part of the PPTF story, it is an example of what happens to people who try and help Tim Holmseth understand the situation people have caused him to be in. Chad and Tom realized that Tim was being manipulated and mislead and tried to talk some sense into him. Randi retaliated and now these two are being victimized by a vindictive woman who insists on controlling every aspect of Tim Holmseth’s life.

Where the images came from is not clear. It is claimed by some that the images were passed around over the internet and were discovered and published. The story regarding the circumstances of the images have changed several times.

RLE12

The core of Randi L Erickson’s accusations have to do with the false narrative that I and others are “paid agents” hired by Mrs. Pickazio to attack Randi and those around her.

If necessary, I will go to court and state under oath that this is not the case.

I am not being paid or controlled by anyone. The reason I discuss Timothy Charles Holmseth is because he has been harassing me for almost a decade. His actions have caused damage to my reputation and has caused me a great deal of financial harm. I have never met Holmseth and he has never met me. Yet he accuses me of the most horrific criminal acts against children with absolutely no evidence to back up his defamatory accusations.

The same holds true of Randi L Erickson. She has never met me, she knows nothing about me other than what is told to her by Holmseth. She absolutely does not care about the harm she is doing to me and others. The truth and her are complete strangers and thus I am forced to confront the lies put forth by her and Holmseth.

RLE13

In this portion of the letter it is once again made clear that it was Randi, Chris Hallett, Kirk Pendagrass (also likely Fiend McConnell) and others who created the PPTF. She is admitting that it was NOT created by any agency within the United States government nor the White House.

She also brings up the claim that the PPTF is privately funded. This creates a problem for this group as there are laws that require paperwork stating what kind of organization the PPTF is and where the money is coming from.

The PPTF is not listed anywhere in any Federal or state record. There is nothing filed with the IRS regarding if the the PPTF is a 501c3 or any other type of organization that would address the tax status of the PPTF.

The PPTF is not listed as a llc, corp or org. It appears primarily on the Holmseth social media websites and various places on the internet but nowhere else.

It is obvious why not everyone is known that is part of the PPTF. Those who wish to remain anonymous do not want to be caught up in any of the legal ramifications that would result if the investigations into the PPTF results in indictments of those running this thing.

RLE14

This part by Randi is rather confusing. She makes some rather confusing statements about the US court system yet supports a president who believes in the same court system since he is using the same system to fight for the causes he supports and fight against those causes he is against.

RLE16

Once again Randi makes the false accusation that those fighting for the truth are “paid freaks.” Nobody is being paid and we are not freaks. We are all victims of one of the most horrific internet smear campaigns ever seen.

Timothy Holmseth had the chance years ago to tell the truth and move on. He continues to refuse to do so and has now fallen under the thumb of a conspiracy nut that has taken over every aspect of his life.

With the post on Facebook, Randi L Erickson has at least partly told the truth about the PPTF and her involvement with it.

“John 8:32

32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

“IF YOU DO NOT MOVE, YOU WILL BE DEAD.”GLORIFYING THE MILITARY TAKEOVER OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Firefox_Screenshot_2020-06-04T15-10-24.171Z

What is more remarkable of the fact that a United States citizen would praise the words “if you do not move, you will be dead.” is who the person is and what he has claimed in the past.

For almost a decade, the conspiracy nut claimed to have been the victim of police misconduct and even an assassination attempt by the Vice President of the United States.

The conspiracy nut even covers up the windows in his car when doing live streams because he claims to be marked for death by the same government he now praises for using the words “if you do not move, you will be dead.”

In his recent incarnation, the conspiracy nut declared that George Floyd was the victim of a mafia style hit by law enforcement who were alleged to be tied to child trafficking and pedophilia.

This conspiracy nut and those around him are causing unnecessary damage by their continued barging into events that have nothing to do with them. They are only going to cause unnecessary harm to innocents who may get unknowingly get targeted by these demented individuals.

SPEAKING OF PERSECUTING INNOCENT TRUCK DRIVERS

thbooking

The northwestern Minnesota based conspiracy theorist may have posted yet a second false story regarding the riots in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Firefox_Screenshot_2020-06-01T19-16-34.917Z

In the first incident of false reporting, the conspiracy nut claimed to have received an article from  WCCO a CBS affiliated media outlet that the police officer arrested for murdering George Floyd had committed suicide.

Now common sense would have dictated that if this story had been true, virtually every news outlet on planet Earth would be reporting it. At the time of the live interview the conspiracy theorist was participating in did anyone interrupt to report of this alleged suicide.

mypostto4

Upon learning of this claim by the conspiracy theorist, I contacted the station and learned that the story was fake. I published this fact on several social media outlets including those the conspiracy theorist monitors.

Firefox_Screenshot_2020-06-01T19-29-14.596Z

The conspiracy theorist then had to retract the story claiming that he was misled. Now one would think that an “award winning journalist” who claims to be one person away from the ear of the President of the United States would have the sense and the resources to verify that the article sent to him was genuine.

Firefox_Screenshot_2020-06-01T19-31-51.074Z

I am not an award winning journalist and was able to get this story debunked within 5 minutes of him publishing it.

At no time did the article he cited ever appear on the Facebook account of WCCO. The article also never appeared on any of their social media accounts including their main account. Upon close examination of the screenshot, it was obvious that the article was counterfeit.

The genuine article on the right has a time stamp and the format is entirely different. There is no such time stamp on the counterfeit article. Also, nowhere on any of the WCCO social media websites do the above link blocks appear above any of their articles.

Firefox_Screenshot_2020-06-01T19-46-32.707Z

In his latest article, the conspiracy theorist is implying that the truck driver who was arrested was innocent of the charges in spite of a video showing him crushing the bicycle of a protestor who was knocked off of it when the truck sped through the crowd at a high rate of speed.

truckbike

There is a bit of confusion about this being a deliberate act or a case of not paying attention to ongoing events and driving at almost 70 mph in spite of the fact there were a large number of people on the highway.

It will be up to the prosecutor if he will be charged and then if he goes to trial, he will be either acquitted or found guilty.

What is ironic is this same conspiracy theorist has been persecuting a truck driver, me, in this case, based on unverified social media contents that he has refused to do even the most basic fact checking on to determine if the evidence is in fact “fake news.” His persecution of me has gone on for almost 10 years.

It is inconvenient for him to find the truth about me and correct his false accusations because it would prove to the world that he is the one who is the master and commander of fake news.

That is something he absolutely cannot afford to do.

WHITE CONSPIRACY NUT TIMOTHY CHARLES HOLMSETH BARGES IN ON GEORGE FLOYD POLICE INCIDENT IN MINNEAPOLIS MN.

timlloyd

 

Timothy Charles Holmseth of Northwest Minnesota has once again barged into a major incident that has nothing to do with him.

timticket

In an ongoing series of youtube videos and articles on his blog, Holmseth declared that he was in as much danger from law enforcement as are blacks such as was George Floyd.

Firefox_Screenshot_2020-05-30T12-41-46.745Z

In the past, Holmseth has claimed that Vice President Pence wanted him murdered because of evidence Holmseth claims to have against him. Holmseth claims that Pence is trying to attain the office of President by overthrowing Trump.

Firefox_Screenshot_2020-05-30T12-45-05.851Z

Holmseth implied that he has enough evidence to have a large number of law enforcement arrested and because of this he claims to have been harassed by law enforcement at least three times in recent years.

Firefox_Screenshot_2020-05-30T12-47-53.547Z

Holmseth also claims to be a media agent for The Pentagon Pedophile Task force and that there is only one person between him and President Trump.

The Pentagon, of course, has made it clear that no such task force exists yet Holmseth keeps insisting that it exists and he is what he says he is.

barrknowstim

Holmseth (who is white) clearly does not understand what the issue is with people of color and law enforcement. He blindly inserts himself into something he knows nothing about.

floyddeath

Holmseth called for peaceful protests of Floyd’s death by cops citing his own “personal experiences” with law enforcement.

Unfortunately for Holmseth he remains virtually unknown to the Floyd protesters who better understand the circumstances of why George Floyd can no longer breathe.

THERE IS A NEW CYBER ABUSER IN TOWN AND HER NAME IS NOT RADIONEWZ

astronewheader

The internet is a strange place and the true crime social media arena of the internet is the strangest place of all. Out of the world of True Crime social media rose two rather odd internet personalities that were thought to be long gone and forgotten.

radionewzblog

One of these internet personalities has reemerged on the internet, in this case on Twitter, and apparently taken the place of Radionewz or Radio as we once knew her and doing the exact same thing Radio did to her.

What I find strange about all of this is that Astro went after Radio even to the point of hiring an Orlando private detective to track down who exactly Radio was and put an end to her cyber abuse.

Now that Astro has decided to engage in the same abusive behavior, it seems that the appropriate attention needs to be be paid to this change in her behavior.

I will soon explore the weird world of Astro__X and why she needs to be exposed as being the biggest fraud on the internet next to the Minnesota conspiracy theorist himself.

FIELD MCCONNELL AND THE GOFUNDME GAMBIT.

fmbcmug

The advent of the GOFUNDME drives on the behalf of Field McConnell brings with them a host of questions as well as a host of potential problems for not only those who set up these funding drives but for Field McConnell himself.

gofundme

The first question to be asked is why does Field McConnell even need a legal defense fund to begin with?

eclauselogo

Does anyone remember Eclause or the “Judge” from Minnesota or the retired judge from Alaska?

How about that Postmaster of the world fella?

worldpostmaster

The core belief of Field McConnell and those who surround them is the theory that the legal system prosecuting him is a fraud and that the legal firm representing Field McConnell is a fraud.

fmdefensefund

Now, oddly enough, These groups are raising thousands of dollars to pay the very people they claim are frauds and not qualified to practice law to help get Field out of the mess he has gotten himself into.

The next series of questions have to do with how the donors can be assured that the funds will go to Field’s attorney and defense and not into their own pockets.

People need to be reminded that these are the same people who wanted money for such things as Ranches in Texas, ostensibly meant for military veterans and their families.

trilliondollar

Remember the Zim bonds or currency that Field bragged having Zillions of dollars of? Remember how he was going to fund his various enterprises with these foreign currencies?

cclogo

And then there is also the ever famous Children’s Crusade and the infamous Pentagon Pedophile Task Force.

pptflogo

In many, many ways the driving force behind these groups has always been money and ways to extract it from the supporters of Field McConnell and his “Media agent” sidekick from Northwest Minnesota.

fieldtim

Now, as I said in the beginning, this is likely going to be more of a problem for Field than it will be for those who finally got around to this obvious potential way to commit wire fraud.

fmdonations

It is generally true that donations given to the target of the GOFUNDME drives are not taxable and may or may not be tax deductible from their own incomes but this may not be necessarily true true for Field McConnell who is already up to his eyeballs in trouble with the IRS.

The reason for his potential problems with the IRS lies in the fine print many do not read in the GOFUNDME terms of service.

Donations made to GoFundMe campaigns are usually considered to be personal gifts which, for the most part, aren’t taxed as income.

However, there may be particular case-specific instances where the income is in fact taxable (depending on amounts received, use of the funds, etc.), so we recommend that you maintain adequate records of donations received and consult a tax professional to be sure. GoFundMe will not report your donations as income at the end of the year, or issue any tax documents. Because everyone’s situation is different and tax rules can change from time to time, we’re unable to give any tax advice.

For information about tax deductibility and Gift Aid for donors to certified charity campaigns, please click here

There are scores of stories out there about people who got $50,000.00 in donations for Cancer treatment and so forth only to find themselves slapped with a big income tax bill along with thousands in tax penalties.

One of the main reasons is that those who set up these funding accounts do not realize that GOFUNDME, PayPal and other companies that provide these services send a 1099 form to the IRS detailing how much money has been collected and paid out. These companies also deduct a commission for collecting these funds.

Field would also have to fill out a 1099K since the potential funds will exceed $20,000

1099 k

IF those running the GOFUNDME accounts decide to pocket all of the funds or deduct some of the funds to cover their  costs in time spent in raising these funds, Field would be screwed twice. First by only getting a fraction of the money raised but also in the additional tax liability he would be stuck with.

Now if the people of these funding efforts had decided to bypass the funding services and had the funds sent to them directly, they might have found themselves in trouble as well.

This is due to the fact that they have to go through legal hoops to comply IRS and Federal regulations when setting up and operating these funding operations. 

The people running these things are themselves tax protesters and thus they may not be meeting the requirements for setting up and operating these funding drives.

The raising of funds for whatever purpose using GOFUNDME or other means creates more problems than it may be worth if the proper steps are not taken by all involved.

Field McConnell and his cult may well find this out the hard way.
