(NaturalNews) Just when you thought the truth couldn't get any stranger than fiction, the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue decides to launch a creepy new Big Brother "Tax Amnesty" program aimed at getting delinquent taxpayers to pay up on their back taxes. But the state agency has stooped to using police state tactics in its advertising to scare people into paying.

If you don't believe me, watch this ad on YouTube (it's real): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ybcu2itqvEQ

In it, a robotic female voice targets a man named "Tom" who owes back taxes to the State of Pennsylvania. A satellite view from above (eye in the sky) is zooming in on Tom's house and targeting it in the crosshairs, as if he is some sort of enemy of the state.

The voice says, in classic mob-style shakedown language, "Listen, we can make this easy. Pay online by June 18th and we'll skip your penalty... because Tom, we do know who you are." This is followed up by a large on-screen text slogan, "FIND US BEFORE WE FIND YOU."

The ad almost seems like a hoax, but it's very real. The official website carries the same Big Brother message: Pay up, or we'll find you... (and do something scary to you).

Countdown timer spreads fear

According to the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue website, its "Tax Amnesty" program was signed into law back in October, 2009. It allows for a 54-day timeframe in which delinquent taxpayers can catch a break on their late payments. There is even a countdown clock on the site that indicates the "Time Left to Pay Up".

During a time when millions of hard-working Americans are losing their jobs and struggling just to get by, the State of Pennsylvania has decided to play the role of the mafia in threatening its citizens who are late on their tax payments. It's a great example of what happens when a government becomes so estranged from the very people it is supposed to represent that it starts to bully them into submission.

The whole thing resembles something out of the book 1984, where a totalitarian regime watches and controls the people and promptly "deals" with those who are not in full compliance. It's the type of thing you would expect in communist China, not the supposed free United States of America.

Since 9/11, Americans' civil liberties have been rapidly eroding as both state and federal governments have begun treating ordinary citizens like criminals. Sure, some people are probably late on their tax payments (because they have no jobs!), but the blatant way in which the Pennsylvania government is coercively threatening people shows that it is no longer a government by the People and for the People.

The whole charade is just a sign of worse things to come in America. If this is how individual states are beginning to handle back taxes, imagine what's potentially in the works at the federal level. After all, millions of Americans are waking up to the truth about the federal income tax Ponzi scheme and the fact that the Federal Reserve can simply print all the money the government needs, regardless of how much tax money is collected.

What kind of Big Brother tactics are going to be unleashed when people simply decide to stop paying taxes into a bankrupt, criminally-operated state that wastes their hard-earned dollars on Wall Street bailouts and wasteful spending programs?

Oh yeah, don't forget: They know where you live. And they want you to be very, very afraid. Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if the Pennsylvania state government gets a whole slew of phoned-in bomb threats in response to this Gestapo tactic. It's no big shock that some people are willing to turn to violence to get back at tax collectors. Remember the guy who flew his airplane into the IRS building in Washington?

Sadly, this kind of Big Brother tax collection threat only serves to incite further anger among those who already resent taxing authorities by demonstrating that the State is, indeed, "out to get you."

How else can you interpret the language in the ad when it says, "FIND US BEFORE WE FIND YOU" ?

About the author:Mike Adams (aka the "Health Ranger") is a best selling author (#1 best selling science book on Amazon.com) and a globally recognized scientific researcher in clean foods. He serves as the founding editor of NaturalNews.com and the lab science director of an internationally accredited (ISO 17025) analytical laboratory known as CWC Labs. There, he was awarded a Certificate of Excellence for achieving extremely high accuracy in the analysis of toxic elements in unknown water samples using ICP-MS instrumentation. Adams is also highly proficient in running liquid chromatography, ion chromatography and mass spectrometry time-of-flight analytical instrumentation.

Adams is a person of color whose ancestors include Africans and Native American Indians. He's also of Native American heritage, which he credits as inspiring his "Health Ranger" passion for protecting life and nature against the destruction caused by chemicals, heavy metals and other forms of pollution.

Adams is the founder and publisher of the open source science journal Natural Science Journal, the author of numerous peer-reviewed science papers published by the journal, and the author of the world's first book that published ICP-MS heavy metals analysis results for foods, dietary supplements, pet food, spices and fast food. The book is entitled Food Forensics and is published by BenBella Books.

In his laboratory research, Adams has made numerous food safety breakthroughs such as revealing rice protein products imported from Asia to be contaminated with toxic heavy metals like lead, cadmium and tungsten. Adams was the first food science researcher to document high levels of tungsten in superfoods. He also discovered over 11 ppm lead in imported mangosteen powder, and led an industry-wide voluntary agreement to limit heavy metals in rice protein products.

In addition to his lab work, Adams is also the (non-paid) executive director of the non-profit Consumer Wellness Center (CWC), an organization that redirects 100% of its donations receipts to grant programs that teach children and women how to grow their own food or vastly improve their nutrition. Through the non-profit CWC, Adams also launched Nutrition Rescue, a program that donates essential vitamins to people in need. Click here to see some of the CWC success stories.

With a background in science and software technology, Adams is the original founder of the email newsletter technology company known as Arial Software. Using his technical experience combined with his love for natural health, Adams developed and deployed the content management system currently driving NaturalNews.com. He also engineered the high-level statistical algorithms that power SCIENCE.naturalnews.com, a massive research resource featuring over 10 million scientific studies.

Adams is well known for his incredibly popular consumer activism video blowing the lid on fake blueberries used throughout the food supply. He has also exposed "strange fibers" found in Chicken McNuggets, fake academic credentials of so-called health "gurus," dangerous "detox" products imported as battery acid and sold for oral consumption, fake acai berry scams, the California raw milk raids, the vaccine research fraud revealed by industry whistleblowers and many other topics.

Adams has also helped defend the rights of home gardeners and protect the medical freedom rights of parents. Adams is widely recognized to have made a remarkable global impact on issues like GMOs, vaccines, nutrition therapies, human consciousness.
