Voice your opinion has been
replaced due to lack of
involvement. Evidently the
American
people would rather follow
sit by & do nothing while
governmnet rip[s them off
than speak
out.
Replacing voice your
opinion with an in depth look
at the trucking industry.
How safe are you on the
road? NOT! I've been driving
truck going on
ten years, not long
compared to many drivers but
they don't have the
balls or brain to do
anything about government
screwing them in favor
of corporate un-America.
OIL companies!
One man died driving for
a company I used to lease
to. At 29 years of
age he left behind three
kids & a wife expecting the
forth. I'll write the
Federal Motor Carriers &
include the letter. Will
they investigate?
The DOT & Feds already
investigated once & found
nothing.
This driver, according to
others who seen & talked to
him at Nampa, ID.,
loaded & left Nampa,
drove to Ellensburg, WA., &
was returning. He may
have been returning
to Emmett where he lived but
he may have driven
from Emmett to
Nampa before leaving for
Ellensburg.
The reality is,
Ellensburg WA. is 380 miles
from Nampa, ID., according
to
Map quest, 5 hrs. & 49
minutes drive. Commercial
trucks have to drive 55
in Oregon verses 65 for
car. If you add drive time
from Emmett, ID., he drove
another 35 or 40 miles. There is no way he
could have driven to Ellensburg &
back in the
11 hours DOT regulations
allow!
What kind of
investigation does the DOT
or Federal Motor Carriers
do? You can't
swing a dead cat without
hitting a truck driver
breaking regulations! I'll
show how
it's done & I'll show how
it is continuing at the same
carrier where this guy
worked &
died!
Falsifying log books.
How to do it & why does
it continue when it is so
easy to solve?
GPS! Why does the Federal
Motor Carrier & DOT continue
on a failing
course? They're
government! Your government,
you pay, & you might
be the next to die in an
avoidable accident.
Why am I doing this?
Look at the home page,
the company I worked for
sent out a letter
asking for info. into
theft, fraud, & waste with
retaliation mentioned,
call if it happens. I
called the 800#, was
retaliated against, called,
was
left to hang so I fought
back & then fired. OSHA/
Dept of labor wouldn't
do a damn thing so I have
to fight back again. I'm
send a letter to the
President, chewing his
ass! If the idiot won't do
his job he can resign!
I called the Federal
Motor Carriers/DOT, they did
an audit, allowed
the company months to get
within compliance, they were
not at the
time I called. The
DOT/Federal Motor Carriers
didn't investigate what
I reported, {dates &
records of violations,
falsified logs & driver
vehicle
inspection reports} &
allowed the company to pass
with a satisfactory
rating. Satisfactory, the
highest rating given yet the
company sent out a
memo stating they passed
with flying colors! When I
later asked the Feds.
they said, "they allow
10% in violations?!"
Had the investigation been
done on just the plant I
reported it would have hit
the 10%, the Feds.
did an investigation over
several states & plants
involving several drivers.
Next I bought a truck &
trailer, leased to an outfit
that promoted bullshit
like logbook violations.
Do they do it outwardly? NO!
They give you
deadlines & destinations
you can't meet. When I never
went along with
log book violations & his
15% wasn't all he expected
he gave me loads
that didn't pay as much
as drivers willing to
falsify logs would get. I
spent the entire month of
July, o6 going to Montana &
coming back
empty because Montana
isn't as easy to get back
hauls out of. I quit,
got my own authority but now
I can't get enough loads out
of the plant
where I was hauling out
of while working with the
idiot who jacked
me around because his
drivers are falsifying logs.
Getting back for
a second & third load
because they rewrite logs.
He's going to be in for a
little surprise. First I'll
have to call dealers &
offer a lower freight rate &
steal his loads. I don't
want to but
what choice do I have? Second I'll refer
to this & a letter to the
White House. If the President who doesn't
give a damn
about Americans
dying in his war based on lies doesn't
understand
I'll clue the
jerk in! Get a GPS in every truck on the road & quit
failing.
The Federal Motor
Carriers & DOT know what is happening but
don't
do squat!
What about Homeland
Security? The Federal Motor
Carriers must not
be included. Give me a
break.
Loose leaf log books!
Simple as that, write it,
tear it up, rewrite it
as needed. Below is
a copy of loose leaf logs,
Written, then rewritten to
serve needs, & the next
day rewritten again if
needed.
I'll show you how it's
done & I'll include a letter
to the White House
which will in turn do
absolutely nothing in
response. That's your
employees working for
you!

Log
book examples above are just
an example. A log for the
same day, rewritten to make
more $!
1st log: Let's
say a driver gets up early &
does his inspection
which has to be logged, 15
minutes.
Does he really do
it? Second he drives to
Nampa, ID.
from Boise, 12 miles, in 15
minutes, ok, legal.
Second
log shows 1 hour to load.
RED
FLAG!
Sorry
it
didn't happen in 1 hour.
Look at the first log, if he
filled one out to start
with? More times than not it
takes at
least 3 hours to load at
this plant!
The
logs above are real, semi
real. One of the guys I know
who drives for a carrier I
used to lease to ran
a
log resembling these. The 29
year old guy I wrote about
earlier, on the home page,
wrecked & died
leaving three kids & a wife
expecting drove for this
same carrier!
At
the end of the day, 12:00
midnight you see the port of
entry. He was inspected by
the DOT
but
they had no way of knowing
when he really started.
He ran over eighteen hours!
Fourteen is legal limit with
11 driving hours!
This guy actually worked
until approximately 1:00 AM
the following morning. After
the inspection which was
useless he dove another 30
minutes & had to shut down,
add another 15 minutes.
That's 6:30 AM until
1:00 AM the next day!
Look to the left, I've
explained it as he told me.
He also said they never
bothered to look seven days
back
on
his logs. The
reality is he has been doing
this all year long!
This guy is a convicted
felon, a meth cook
who
spent a few years in the
dept. of corrections!
Homeland security???? You
bet!!!!
The reality is he didn't
go to work at 11:00 AM on
the first day, he
went at possibly 6:30 AM as
the second day indicates but
he logged
11:00 so he could get to his
destination the first day.
The first day he
was at Nampa for 3, 4, maybe
even 5 hours & drove way
past legal
hours by time he got to
Grand Junction, Co.
according to DOT regulations.
Hard to
understand? Use some
imagination. He needed
to manipulate the log
because he wasted so much
time in Nampa, ID.
because he had no control
over how long it took to
load. Logs are
rewritten all the time,
sometimes by drivers who
have the guts to
drive through weigh stations
hoping they won't get called
in.
If he had logged in at
6:30 AM he would have had to
go off duty in
fourteen hours, couldn't
have made it to Grand
junction, CO. or
where ever.
Now the second day he'll
rewrite again to suit his
needs. He may
rewrite back through the first &
the second day so he can get
to his
destination on time, within legal
hours according to
regulations, on
that day.
There is a good chance he
falsified logs the next day
also. He was up early the
second day & unloaded
before his ten hours off!
Was off at 1:00 AM so he
couldn't
legally start until 11:00
AM the next day. Chances are
he was unloaded before
eleven the next morning.
He waited no doubt to cross
the port of entry going back
to Utah as they inspected
him the night before.
But now realize he is
going to pick up cars in
Salt Lake City at the
Selland Auto
Transport Yard. No
problem, until he has to
unload two cars in Twin
Falls, ID. &
one in Mountain Home, ID.
& then return to Boise, ID.
He tells me he'll be home
around midnight or 1:00
AM. The Westbound
Port of Entry coming into Boise is
usually closed that time
of night & he'll slip past.
In reality he's worked from
approximately 9:00 AM to
1:00 AM the second day.
Approximately 16 hours the
second day after an
eighteen hour day the first
day! That's 6 hours over
legal
hours hours in just two
days! He's done this all
year, sleeping in the back
seat of
his one ton Dodge dually
most nights!
Why don't I call the
Federal Motor Carriers? I'd
be the one they investigate
& they
would no doubt fail if
they did investigate the
carrier & driver I report. I
may have to
call the Fed.s anyway
because drivers for this
carrier are getting back for
three or
more loads a week when
I'm lucky to get one or two
because I run legally!
By the end of the week he
may have rewritten his log
everyday! In
reality he was legally able to
work 70 hours but worked 80
or
90 because he rewrote his logs. He may
have had as little as 4
hours of sleep a day when regulations require 10
hours off & 34
hours to
reset a log book after 70 hours.
Some drivers are
two or
three states away
from where they can legally be,
run two or more log books!
Feel better
about driving next to that
big rig?
It's easy to track if the
government had a half ounce
of brains.
Some weigh stations are closed
at night, others can be
driven
around. There are too many trucks to
keep track of & in the next
few years there will be million more. By 2016
there is predicted to
be one
million more truck on the road. GPS, if
government doesn't
implement
GPS systems in every truck on the road it will
contribute
to the next 9/11!
Below is contact
information for the Federal
Motor Carriers. How many
people who
read this are willing to
call or mail in response to
truckers violating
regulations? How
many Americans are
willing to step up & put an
end to drivers falsifying
logs while
putting you at risk. How
many Americans have the
stones to make the Federal
Motor
Carriers do their job?
OK, don't call. Before
deciding look at the picture
below the contact
information.
A truck I came up on one
night, look closely. The
overpass pillar is in the
driver's
seat! This guy fell
asleep I think, ran into the
overpass. It could have been
you,
your wife, or kid. Still
don't have it in you to
call? Kind of like sending
your 18 year
old son or daughter to
Iraq, isn't it. Not too damn
smart!


While it's not easy to see
the following wire harness
installed on my truck had
the wires skinned, just
below
the connector. Look closely
at the white & green wires
about three inches down just
above the leaf. I was
blowing fuses until I found
this & took it back to the
guy who installed it. This
particular shop put in my
fifth wheel & this
electrical harness. While he
admitted it looked as though
it was done during
installation
he was reluctant. This is a
common problem in the
trucking industry,
incompetence! As with my
supervisors
at Darigold who weren't
qualified to do the job they
were hired to do. The DOT &
Federal Motor Carriers
don't have a clue & it is
costing innocent people
their lives, everyday. If
you contact the Federal
Motor
Carriers or DOT they do a
poor job at best of
investigating. If you report
a corporation they let them
off all together as they did
with Darigold when I
reported them for log book &
Safety inspection
violations.

This wire harness may seem
of little significance but
there are millions of trucks
on the road & the outfit
that installed this harness
does enough work on fifth
wheel & wire harnesses to
you! There are going to be
thousands more trucks on the
road in the next few years &
the Federal Motor Carriers &
DOT don't have a
handle on the road today!
The infrastructure isn't in
place to handle thousands
more trucks & there aren't
enough officers to police
them all. Homeland Security
is nowhere near capable f
handling the mess we have
let alone what we'll have in
a few years.
Terrorists could very easily
positions several trucks
across
America to set US back as
they did with 9/11!
The warning were out before
9/11 & they're out
now!
Below
is a picture of a truck the
wire harness above would be
installed in, hot shots.
There are thousands
of
these trucks on the roads,
many which don't even stop
at the scales. Every state
has different regulations,
but
they all require commercial
vehicles to meet certain
requirements. As mentioned
above, many drivers
manipulate log books to run
16, 18 hours a day. Many of
these guys either don't have
DOT & MC #s on
their
trucks or use magnets which
can be taken off. Some claim
the cars they haul are their
property
from
the time they pick them up
to the time they deliver.
There are thousands of ways
to beat the
system
& they are doing it.

State of the Union,
1-31-06, Not Good!
Was
the President's State of the
Union all you knew it would
be?
The
American people are easily
swayed with speeches by
politicians. A good Science
fiction movie has a
great
writer no differently than a
president does a speech
writer. Although
unbelievable both the
State
of the union speech and a
sci. fi. movie both take in
the paying customer or
sucker in the case of
the
taxpayer, paying for it all
in $, sweat, blood, &
unfortunately life in what
many are led to believe
patriotism. I
don't recall the part in the
President's speech where he
took responsibility for.
GAO

response to hurricane
Katrina. The Associated

I also
don't recall any
responsibility for lives
lost in the wars in Iraq &
Afghanistan or the cost
which is currently at
approximately $440 billion.
Bush
to request another $120
billion for wars. Knight
Ridder by Ron Hutcheson
This
article gets to the truth
pointing to White House
economic advisor Larry
Lindsey being pushed out of
his
job for suggesting war in
Iraq could cost $200
billion. Secretary of
Defense Rumsfeld put the
cost at
$50
billion stating. "It's not
knowable what a war or
conflict is going to cost.?"
Personally I liked the part
where Rummy said "it's
certainly not going to last
two years." What was that?
Four years
or more ago? Oh yea, and the
oil would pay for the war.
Scandals
& more questions: Lobbyist
have control of Washington!
Abramoff, Why won't Bush
answer questions?
Constitutional law: Is the
President
& the
current administration under
the same laws we the people
live by?
CIA
leaks: More questions, no
answers!
High
energy prices: Exxon Mobile
profits set record. Company
which reported highest annul
net income four of the
last
ten years.
Is it
time for full disclosure?
How
much is an oil man in the
White House making while
promoting war in oil rich
nations & drilling in
Alaska?
Is
Bush environmentally
bankrupt or just making so
much $ he could care less?
Property taxes, any & or all
taxes: Who pays? Who
doesn't?
Homeland security? Where did
the money go?
Pentagon accused of wasteful
spending: Prime vendor
program touted by the
Defense department as one of
it's
{best

40% more than other
agencies.
No bid
contracts: Went away just
like the millions of tax
dollars & lives of Americans
who thought it was about
patriotism.
Iraq:
Nothing like Vietnam?
Military: Stretched too
thin? War with Iran and
North Korea would make an
oil man-war president one
rich and
happy
man but how does it make the
family of a soldier feel?
Democracy: A two party
system failing or highly
successful. Depends on who
you are. To a middle class
taxpayer,
failing miserably? To a
campaign contributing
corporation making billions
for pennies on the dollar,
success beyond
their
wildest dreams!
To
Iraq, a country blown back
to the stone age with US
weapons of minor
destruction. Poll: Nearly
half of Iraqis
back

What does Iran & North Korea
think? A good time for war?

Would I hunt with any of

NO!

Creating democracy, just

What would we say if it were

Maybe it's time to ask

Editorials
Why
can't a taxpayer-citizen
call a representative or
report a crime with the
expectation of results?
Whistle blowers, Americans
who feel they are doing
their civil duty are beaten
down by the people we pay to
do the job those same
whistle blowers are paid to
do. Americans who go out of
their way, out on a limb to
stop crime, corporate fraud,
or save the taxpayer $ are
made examples of. Better off
keeping your mouth shut. Is
that the democracy we're
fighting and dying for in
Iraq?
A recent pentagon report
suggest dual wars have
stretched the Army to a
breaking point. Rumsfeld
disagrees. Is it any wonder?
If I were failing as Bush
and company I would cover my
butt with lies and excuses
also. Claiming the army is
battle hardened rather than
at a breaking point is the
only explanation possible.
Where were Rumsfeld and Bush
pre 9/11?
My
question to Rummy. How many
lives, including 9/11
victims does it takes to
become battle ready and why
under Bush's watch was
America and this battle
hardened military NOT ready?
Reading books while 911
happened with children
of higher intellect than
Bush himself says little for
no child left behind. Does
it Mr. President, take notes
if you can't keep up. Recess
isn't until after the next
9/11!
Making it all more
interesting is old news
making the paper again, how
many years have you heard
this one? Pentagon accused
of wasteful spending. Two
deep fat fryers $5,501, 187%
more than other agencies
spent. $1,781
waffle iron, 172% more than
other agencies pay. $915 meat slicer,
49% more than other agencies
spent. $1,025 toaster,
30% more than other agencies
spent. $1,033 popcorn machine,
34% more than other agencies
spent.
What happened to that $1,000
hammer we used to hear
about? A retired Army
Reserve Officer. Paul Fellencher provided a four
page spreadsheet showing 135
cases of higher prices,
dismissed by the Defense
Department without checking
with him. $200 million in
wasteful spending while
Americans are dying in Iraq!
Did
someone you know die in
Iraq? For all the wrong
reasons! A prime vendor
program the Defense
Department touts as one of
it's "best practices?" In
this taxpayer's opinion, if
that is one of the best
practices we're in a heap of
shit! Bussshit! No BULL, Bushshit.
How
can we believe Bush, Cheney,
Rumsfeld, Rice, or any of
our elected officials? How
can any other nation believe
in democracy? What good is
the word of America? Why
wouldn't Iran or North Korea
feel the need for nuclear
weapons? They aren't stupid
enough to listen to the lies
the American taxpayer is
dying to hear! You have to
know Bush, Rumsfeld, or who
ever in position of
responsibility and
accountability would make up
any lies the American people
are willing to buy,
literally, to cover this
waste also.
Another whistleblower,
another excuse. How can we
believe anything our
representatives tell US?
It's in the news everyday,
insider trading, campaign
finance violations, war
based on lies, CIA leaks, &
where does it end?
Un-American corporations &
mis-representaion
Should I call my
representatives with any
expectation of
representation? The time has
come to realize I might be
better served to call the
corporate office of the
corporation which
contributed to the campaign
of my representation. Should
50,000 Americans direct
their calls to the top
corporations in America, the
corporations which have
purchased my representation
for pennies on the dollar?
Not even! You also paid for
the campaign contributions
as it can be factored into
the profits these un-America
corporations manage through
those campaign
contributions. In fact the
American taxpayer is paying
the CEOs of these
corporations in that they
make millions a year. We pay
the salary lobbyist enjoy
while they manipulate our
representatives into tax
cuts and incentives we as
individuals absorb. That is
how much money these
un-American allies to
terrorist make on the $ they
invest in the destruction of
America!
Would those corporations
accept the roll of
representation? We could
eliminate our
representatives all
together, they're only a
middleman. If you added up
all the pay, health care
costs, retirement, and
everything we provide,
eliminate it all as we're
not being represented, how
much would we save? Better yet, take
on the responsibility
yourself! Do it online,
right here. Are you afraid?
Evidently, too insecure to
manage your own lives, your
own government, your
employees. You let your
loved ones go to war
sacrificing life and limb
rather than stand up to a
corrupt government. Doesn't
say much for democracy.
Corporations and businesses
who beg for tax cuts and
incentives take advantage of
illegal immigrants in low
wages and poor working
conditions while the
American taxpayer once again
absorbs the costs of
education through higher
property taxes evaded by
corporate and health care
costs on the rise due to the
same interference. Lack of
responsibility by corporate
and our mis-representatives.
We
can't continue to take from
the middle class to support
the poor promoted by our mis-representatives
and corporate un-America
while the same middle class
pay the taxes evaded by the
rich who buy our
representatives with our tax
$! The entire
picture would change if the
playing field were were
leveled. The US economy,
contrary to the lies and
greed of our mis-representatives
& corporate un-America would
become healthy and vibrant
as Greenspan claimed the
banking industry was in
2005. A banking industry
paying 2% on a $50,000 CD
isn't vibrant, it's
ridiculous.
A
family of four living on
minimum wage doesn't have
$50,000 and is in fact a
family living in poverty.
These people aren't being
represented! These people
don't have access to the
internet, uneducated, & in
many cases don't even read
the paper. These people
living in poverty without
health insurance are part of
a problem corporate
un-America and our mis-representatives
have created while profiting
which is in turn dragging US
down.
Four of 37,000,000 Americans
living in poverty along with
45 million without health
insurance. You can be sure
our mis-representatives at
the expense of have these 37
& 45 million Americans have $50,000 not
necessarily in a CD. $50,000
invested in a corporation
enjoying tax incentives
thanks to the generosity of
our mis-representatives!
$50,000 or more invested and
earning 15% + should the
generosity of our mis-representatives
pan out. The vacation and
other perks through the
Washington lobby as with
taxpayer provided pay,
health care, & retirement
nothing compared to $ made
in the market!
The
Senate again refused to
raise minimum wage recently
while congress has been told
to raise borrowing
authority. Now capped at
$8.18 trillion the US could
face the prospect of not
being able to pays it's
bills by early next year.
Many of these same
representatives are
millionaires paid tax $ by
people who can't afford to
feed their children, health
care, college, and
retirement. Our
representatives of
millionaire status have that
all sewed up. What does a
poor kid going to Iraq with
a good possibility of dying
for all the wrong reasons
need retirement for?
A poor
kid is just another
generation who will do the
work, pay the taxes, & fight
the wars started by the
rich, another generation of
mis-representatives,
corporate un-America, & the
power elite who will enjoy
the spoils.
What
would the US economic
picture look like if minimum
wage were a living wage? How
much money would be spent by
people who now live in
poverty verses drawing
welfare through government
programs. Government
programs costing taxpayers
who would have & spend $ on
the economy yet pay more in
taxes to support these same
government programs. People
who pay more in taxes to
support these government
programs and absorb the
taxes evaded by corporate
un-America through campaign
contributions and the
Washington lobby.
It's
compounding, like interest
in a savings account. It's
actually the opposite
because it takes away
spending power from the
people who pay our
representatives who in turn
take $ from corporate
un-America in return for
political favors which cost
taxpayers $ they would be
spending on the economy or
saving while Social Security
goes broke. Social Security
is in fact nothing but a
hidden income tax, a ruse by
the same representatives who
are in the pocket of
corporate un-America while
making out like a bandit.
Look
closely, you pay the taxes
evaded by corporate
un-America taking away from
your spending power which
hurts the economy corporate
and our mis-representatives
claim they need tax breaks
for in order to provide jobs
to the people who pay all
their taxes. If corporations
earned their $ through hard
work instead of cheating US
they would earn more $
through taxpayer spending.
It's all becoming evident as
with automakers in lowering
the cost of autos in 2007.
If corporate un-America
would take a good look at
this they would see the same
result in taxpayers keeping
more of their own $ rather
than paying taxes evaded
through the buyout of our
mis-representatives. Our mis-representatives
as with the Delay Abramoff
situation is a perfect
example!
We as
the taxpayers who support
this nation deserve a little
respect and we damn sure
don't need the lies
Washington DC spews out at
the boss, US! .
If we
weren't spending so much
time working for a
non-living wage, earning $
to pay their taxes we would
have time and more $ to
spend on the economy so
corporate wouldn't have to
beg! The problem is begging
in Washington DC is an art
form. It's easier to beg
than to earn a living the
American way, working!
Corporate un-America and our
mis-representatives have
created a nation of beggars
& doing so at a profit at
the expense of the American
people who are not only
paying for it all but dying
to do so in Iraq!
Ironically Washington DC,
our mis-representatives, &
corporate un-America have
created an ally to terrorist
in our nation's capital at
the expense of America and
the American people who
refuse to think without the
line of crap our employees
are feeding US!
Several of our
representatives are under
investigation for insider
trading, campaign finance
violations, a President
losing support and the trust
of the people, Vice
President and staff under
the scope for national
security leaks, homeland
security years after 9/11 a
complete failure just as
security before 9/11. Rep.
Randy Cunningham,
R-California pleaded guilty
to accepting $2.4 million
from defense contractors.
Top Senators and Congressmen
are under the scope for
campaign finance
discrepancies & insider
trading.
Not
one corporation in America
would or could continue on
this course yet these same
corporations bleed the
American people and US for
every penny they can with no
thought of what this is
doing to America. We cannot
as a nation expect to win a
war against terrorist when
our mis-representatives in
Washington are an ally to
those same terrorist through
mis-management, proficient
incompetence & greed.
Billions of tax $ wasted
through pork barrel spending
by our representatives who
we pay a fine salary. health
care, & retirement which We
the People are losing more
of everyday! Billions of $
in tax cuts and incentives
given to un-American
corporations in return for
campaign contributions and
gifts through the Washington
lobby. Mis-representatives,
many of millionaire status &
how do they make that $?
Insider trading? Are the
people we elect to represent
U.S. making $ though the
stock market due to tax cuts
& incentives given to
un-American corporations and
then cashing in on the stock
market as profits are
realized? Taxes evaded by
un-American corporations,
absorbed by individual
taxpayers. 50% of income
taxes once paid by
corporations now paid by We
the People, individuals, due
to campaign contributions
and influence through the
Washington lobby.
Are
the American people being
taken in the greatest scam
ever imagined. Taken by the
people we elect through the
same democracy we are
promoting in Iraq while
Americans are making the
ultimate sacrifice in the
belief they are doing so
patriotically! I often
wonder why or how a people
of a nation considered the
greatest in the world sit by
and do nothing while the
future of the nation
deteriorates into poverty
while supporting corporate
welfare. 37,000,000
Americans living in poverty,
over 45 million without
health insurance!
The
American Revolution, just a
couple hundred years ago has
lost all meaning. The battle
cry of the American people
isn't what it used to be.
"Give me liberty or give me
death" has been replaced
with "there's nothing you
can do." America has grown
and expanded in the past two
hundred + years but we have
allowed corporate welfare
and mis-management by our
representatives to build
upon a foundation which
cannot support this once
great nation. A nation
cannot continue to take away
from the average working
class to the point of
poverty, send those people
to die in war to liberate
others and establish
democracy and expect the
same taxpayer to support
those who profit through
that sacrifice while
democracy is failing here in
America.
While waste is a major
problem in the U.S. it is
only part of the problem. I
will try and point out on
both this site and in the
upcoming book some of that
waste but also what I
consider fraud. Fraud by our
mis-representatives and
corporate un-America through
the same democratic process
we would stuff down the
throats of other nations
while blowing them back to
the stone age with a
military paid for by the
same people being sold a
bill of goods, U.S.
Democracy evolved into a
democratic dictatorship run
by the power elite:
corporate, political, &
military.
While one has to believe
democracy is a fair form of
government compared to other
governments it would be
foolish to believe
everything we're told by
people we pay a fine salary,
retirement, & health care
while We the People lose all
the same. We pay these
representatives and expect
no less than our employers
expect from us as employees
yet as the boss-employer we
are losing more everyday. If
the nation were run as the
corporations with profit for
the stockholders, {U.S.} as
a main objective would we
allow our employees to give
all the tax cuts and
incentives to the
corporations that contribute
to the campaigns of
politicians who are paid by
U.S. yet make U.S. citizens
pay all the taxes evaded
through those campaign
contributions?
Individual property taxes
continue to soar while
corporations & agri-business
pay less. Recently our
representatives have allowed
a rule in favor of public
government: city, county,
state, or federal in the
takeover of private property
as long as it is for public
use. It isn't enough that
your property taxes continue
to climb while corporate
un-America contribute to the
campaigns of our
representatives in return
for tax cuts and incentives
which We the People absorb,
we lose more rights everyday
through the actions of our
employees.
Our
employees {representatives}
are failing U.S. miserably
while they profit along with
corporate un-America for at
our expense!
Social Security, Medicare,
Medicaid, $ for education &
health care all going away
while corporations buy our
representatives and
outsource for profit while
promoting low wages and
illegal immigration.
Read all about it in an
upcoming book by Nextrev.
America: Empire?
Or the Greatest Lie Ever
Lived! When I had an editor
look over my manuscript I
was told I was writing over
the average American's head.
I was writing at an 11 and
12 grade level when the
average American reads at a
4th and 5th grade level! I'm
not a college graduate, I
felt I was writing far below
a level I needed to. While
education in America is
lacking funding, the same
people who can't read above
a 5th grade level are doing
all the work and paying all
the taxes.
No
child left behind? Sorry
America, you're all being
left behind.
US Soldiers Die In
Iraq Because They Do Not Contribute to Campaign
Was the American revolution a negative thing in our history? Would another revolution be a bad thing? Not if it was a peaceful revolution in which We The People didn't pick up a gun, fire a shot, or be fired upon! Not if We The People used our heads instead of our backs and put our employees, {government} back to work for the people through education and the internet. www.nextrevolution.net
Education, Health Care, Social Security. Medicare, Medicaid, American Veterans, and the list goes on. All things important to the American people come up short of funding yet our representatives are millionaires and the campaign contributors and rich who buy them through the Washington Lobby reap all the benefits through our sacrifice in work and blood {IRAQ}. Idaho Statesman, 11-11-03, Report: Iraq, Afghanistan contractors donated to Bush. What's wrong with that picture? The American people have a saying when referring to government waste or political corruption, "there's nothing you can do." When I think of the pride Americans act like they have I'm surprised they so willingly allow our representatives to manipulate We The People into prostituting ourselves to the tune of almost 40% of gross earnings. For whatever reason we allow our employees to accept money from corporations and the rich and in return give our representation away while We The People do the work, pay the taxes, send our loved ones to die, and do whatever our employees tell us to do. You have someplace to go {www.nextrevolution.net} but it won't happen unless We The People take a damn good look at what's happening to America and decide to do something about it!
I believe people resort to this un-American saying and follow this foolish leadership because we really have no place to go with our concerns. Call your representative, that's a joke. An auto responder or Senators aide isn't my idea of representation.
Everyday there is another scandal {Idaho Statesman, 11-16-03, Fund scandal gaining momentum} or example of why and how our government is failing yet we do nothing. Enron, World Com, and how many others have come and gone just as wars like Vietnam and now Iraq! The American people need to focus on our government failings and do something about it. Do you want your loved ones to die in Iraq just because the fool we elected turned out to be a mad man.
If the people in education want funding why don't they prove the value of education! Teach the American people history, history in the making. Teach the children how our government accepts campaign contributions and gifts through the Washington lobby and send them home to their parents with questions as to why this is happening. Teach them that their parents work the first 2&1/2 hours a day to pay their taxes yet they can't have health care and $ for education. Teach them the truth about American politics and how we pay the taxes corporate America evades through campaign contributions. Teach the children of America about the way we absorb the taxes when American companies buy our representatives through campaign contributions while they move out of country to hire cheap labor and take American jobs with them. Teach the children of America about the high tech jobs going out of country { Idaho Statesman, 11-14-03, Millions of U.S. tech jobs could follow low costs to India}, send those concerns home to parents with their children and you will make people realize they are being cheated by their government.
If the American people want their children to have the things they were given through the American revolution and all the wars since that time they better accept reality, everyday is a battle for freedom and all we've been given cannot be taken for granted. Continue to do nothing and live by that saying " there's nothing you can do" and nothing is exactly what your children will inherit from you. The disrespect we show the American Veterans by doing nothing after all they've given us should be taught to every America child in hope they will realize the freedom we enjoy isn't guaranteed, it was given us through the sacrifice of real Americans, NOT POLITICIANS and CORPORATE AMERICA.
Your vote used to be your voice in America but un-American corporate influence and the rich have stolen your representation through campaign contributions and the Washington lobby. United States mis-representatives elected by the people who sell out the American People, Americans Veterans who made sacrifices beyond imagination, and America herself need to be made an example of and held accountable. Starting with the White House.
The people who have taken an oath to serve We The People and obviously betrayed us for $$$ need to be held accountable and in some cases should be charged with treason!!!
We would be a land of fools to send Americans to die in Iraq or anywhere in the world to develop a democracy when the democracy in which we live is such an obvious failure and corrupt joke!
Post ideas on Nextrev. and follow-up on ideas posted. Put government back to work for the people and save Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Health Care for Veterans, $ for education, Health Ins for all Americans, Rid America of Poverty, {35,000,000 Americans live in poverty} the list goes on.

Guilty As Charged - Bush Contradicts The American Justice System
Innocent until proven guilty according to the American justice
system unless the accusations come from the White House. How can the
American people allow Bush to continue to use the
White House for his personal agenda?
Bush and company took their claims of WMD, nuclear weapons, &
connections to terrorist involved in the WTC attack to the UN but the
rest of the world wouldn't swallow the load of crap, lies, & bogus
intelligent reports. America's representatives & the American people so
hell bent on revenge allowed Bush to drag America in murder without just
cause.
We The People
are now just as guilty
as bin Laden, killing thousands
of innocent people! Americans are so brainwashed they are unwilling to
admit the wrong in the war in Iraq and now go along with Bush in that
Saddam was an evil doer and had to be removed.
That's right he was an evil SOB but that wasn't why we went to war
and that wasn't what Bush and company took to the UN in hopes of support
in a war with Iraq. In America an individual can't go down to the
neighbors house and shoot him because he had a gun and was in that
individual's mind a threat. There are thousands of murders in U.S.
prisons who wouldn't be there if everyone had the same get out of jail
free card the President of the USA has. While Governor, Bush killed more
Texas death row inmates than ever before but when he is the murderer on
a much larger scale it's no longer a crime.
The reality is the American people are accessories to murder,
hypocrites
because Bush and company represent We The People and we continue to do
nothing. Worse yet young Americans are dying every day and we allow it
to go on. History will be our judge. In America if an individual is in
the company of a friend and that friend kills someone that individual is
just as guilty of the crime if he does nothing to stop the murder or
report it. The fact that Bush and company have used the U.S. military,
the most powerful military in the world to kill thousands of innocent
people and the claims made on which we killed these people were
unfounded makes this war murder. The American people are being represented by Bush
and company but we are responsible, we can't shirk our responsibilities
and just say "OOPS". We can't change the story after the fact and say
Saddam was an evil man and needed to be removed anyway so it's OK that
we killed all those innocent people.
Bush and company should be charged with war crimes and if the
American people don't step up and demand this we,
America should be charged.
The rest of the world didn't join in to remove Saddam because it wasn't
presented that Saddam was killing thousands of Iraq people & history was
repeating itself as when Hitler was in power.
Had Bush made that
argument we might have
had the world backing
US!
Look
at the White House now, the
current administration is
surrounded with controversy.
Carl Rove, Cheney, and who
are involved in leaks, CIA
leaks now quiet due to
Bush's own admission of
guilt. Breaking
Constitutional law! This
mess isn't going away, we
can't leave Iraq, America is
a nation without leadership.
America had nothing
good to say about these other nations when they wouldn't go along with our
war, threatened to cut foreign aid to any country that didn't back us,but as it turned out Bush was wrong! There were no WMD, Nuclear Weapons,or terrorist connections to the WTC attack.
The rest of the world should now make the point that Bush and
company have committed war crimes and killed thousands of innocent
people. If the American people don't impeach Bush and demand charges be
bought against him we are in fact just as guilty as Bush because he
represents us, convinced our representatives to use our military, &
continues to spend billions of American $$$ killing when reasons we went
to war are still unfounded. Bush and America are no better than bin
Laden, Saddam, or
Hitler and this American isn't going to accept what
Bush has done. I didn't vote for Bush, didn't want this war with Iraq,
and personally believe Bush should be impeached and made to stand trial.
We can't have it both ways, innocent until proven guilty here in
America but OK to use the most powerful military in the world to kill
any time we please. Is it any wonder N. Korea or any other nation feels
threatened by the U.S.? If re-elected who is Bush going to kill next?
The American people are being conned, taken advantage of in every phase
of the game. The economy stinks, America is involved in another war like
Vietnam with Americans dying for all the wrong reasons, and now guilty
of murder with no sense of responsibility. It's all OK because Saddam
was an evil man? Accept that lie America and we'll go down in history as
fools led by a
madman. Only in America!
Unions, a needed tool in
their time but outlived and
abused to the point of doing
more harm than good in the
21st century.
There was a time
in America when unions were
necessary as our
representatives weren't
doing the job! Worse in 2005
as our representatives are
not just shirking their
responsibilities in not
doing their jobs they're
taking pay, retirement, and
health care while allowing
the taxpayer to absorb taxes
evaded by corporations
through campaign
contributions and the
Washington lobby as well as
using the taxpayer's against
one another. That's right,
our representatives are
accepting $ from US,
accepting $ from
corporations, unions, the
NRA, & every lobby that can
afford a President, Vice
President, US Congressman,
or Senator, and as far down
as mayors who would benefit
from this crime.
Look at the Airlines, auto
industry, and every form of
labor in the US. All going
broke while we still pay how
much for a new car? How much
to fly? Once unions were the
answer, people came together
resulting in higher wages,
benefits, and more. Look
what has happened, self
destruction and
manipulation. Pensions and
health care lost!
Don't work so hard you'll
cost someone their job.
Contracts that gave so much,
now breaking corporations
and the rest of the American
taxpayers lose as we always
have in right to work states
like Idaho, Nebraska, &
others. That's the kind of
crap from union members that
helped destroy a good thing.
In
2005 every American is
paying simply because we're
not being represented!
Workers all across the
nation are losing pensions,
union or not. Ajax Tocco
Magnethermic Corp. in Warren
Ohio for example. The
federal Pension Benefit
Guaranty Corporation, PBGC
covers the cost of companies
which find a way, many
through legal loop holes to
NOT pay pensions. The
American taxpayer cover lost
pensions! What ever the PBGC,
being a federal program
cannot prove as evasion is
now covered by the rest of
US!
There are thousands of
Americans losing their
pensions and not only losing
their pensions but paying to
lose, paying tax $! Many
people don't even think
about it but they are paying
to cover the cost of lost
pension, their own in some
cases. The reason they don't
think of it is because it is
just taxes, doen't come out
of your check as PBGC taxes
to cover corporate fraud but
as Social Security taxes. I have an older
brother who lost just a few
thousand $ in a small
corporate scam in Columbus,
NE. but it's the same
old story. "There's nothing
you can do." The battle cry
of America in 2005. It used
to be "Give me liberty or
give me death."
America should reprint the
dollar with "There's nothing
you can do" over George
Washington. Maybe that would
get the attention of the
American people, the world.
What's that dollar really
worth or all about? On the
back it says, "In God We
Trust." With all the
controversy involving
religion in government,
public places such as parks,
in the courts, & on our
currency I wonder how. Not
so much God but the people
we pay to represent US.
Better yet, "In The
Corporation Which Owns My
Representatives We Trust &
Lose Our Butt We Trust" How
would that look on the
dollar?
It's amazing what people
will do for these little
pieces of paper, tangible or
not. stocks, bonds, US
Treasury Notes. Corporate
un-America buy politicians,
politicians buy stock,
taxpayer buy it all,
unwittingly in more ways
than one. The average
American is then forced to
become what they despise,
what has corrupted America
and destroyed the American
way of life, our hearts
twisted and each of US as
crooked and willing to lie
to get ahead. It doesn't
matter as long as you can
cheat the next guy out of
it, it's yours. When ever
someone gets some of this,
through the lottery,
inheritance, or whatever it
doesn't matter because
someone will try and take it
away. It's human
nature. Why then do we
convict thieves? Common
thieves, not the guys we pay
to represent US when they
get caught. Greed for more
than any one man can ever
need, an American way of
life brought to America in
the beginning, on the first
boat. You gotta love
it, America the beautiful!
LIE!
It's what America is all
about, NOT freedom. liberty,
justice for all, but the
almighty buck! When your
loved ones are dying
patriotically in Iraq to
liberate those poor starving
bastards that hate Americans
but love your almighty buck
ask yourself what happened
to my pension, Social
Security, Medicare,
Medicaid, $ for education,
health care, & all the rest
of what we're losing more of
every day!

Just think, with $8 trillion
of these you could pay off
the national debt. That is
if your dumb enough to think Dubya wouldn't find a way to
tax you for it. Understand
US government, perpetual
waste created & funded by
corporate un-America
profiting at pennies on the
dollar at the expense of the
American taxpayer through
the buyout of our
representatives.
