John Conner...Please Read!

I have learned many things from watching TV. For instance, because of "Man vs Wild" I could survive in almost any situation. Also, because of "Mantracker" I have learned how to avoid being captured by a guy on a horse. But the most important lesson I have learned has come from both the movie "Oceans Eleven" and was seen again on "24". The lesson is something I think John Conner should know.

An EMP will destroy or disrupt electronics. Get one now, before the war vs the machines starts. It will save us all a lot of trouble. We can avoid the whole war.

On a side note, I bought some new shoestrings for my brown shoes today. The look way good with my new strings which makes me look good. I am feeling good now. Look out world, here I come.

I didn't want to get political but ...

The recent development in Washington DC is not only alarming because it removes our rights by requiring we have insurance or pay a fine, but it also is going to destroy our economy. Now I know some of you may be happy that this bill passed, but if it stays the way it is, in a few years you won’t be.

The Congressional Budget Office estimates that this will cost $940 billion over the next ten years, and where do you think that is coming from? Yes taxes, not just taxes on the rich but on every working American. In addition, every working American will be required to have insurance or pay a fine and companies will be required to provide insurance or pay a fine, even for part-time employees. Who do you think will pay for the extra costs companies incur to provide insurance? The consumers will, can you imagine Taco Bell having to provide insurance for all their part-time employees? So long dollar menu.

So now if you are a working adult, your taxes went up, the cost of food and services has gone up, you are now paying for insurance, if you want it or not, which will go up because insurance companies won’t be able to have different rates for those who use the system more. I don’t know about you but that will probably cause me to become depressed, which will bring on illnesses and then I will have to go to the doctor. Of course I will never be able to get into to see the doctor because as it took me weeks to get an appointment before health care reform, now there are an additional 32 million people who also figure if they have to have insurance they may as well use it. So now I have no money, I am getting chest pains and the doctor says come on in two months from now. Well, next thing I know I am laying in coffin and my wife has to go find a job but because it has once again become cheaper to outsource labor to a country that actually is proud to be communist, all the jobs went there.

For those of you who are concerned with recent developments regarding our governments invasion into yet another business sector and feel that the our country is becoming Communist, I say to you…Don’t be silly, we’ve been communist for years. Some of you may not be familiar with the 10 planks of the Communist Manifesto, I am sure if you did you would realize that we as a nation went down this path long ago. Here they are:

1. Abolition of private property and the application of all rents of land to public purposes.

Americans do these with actions such as the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution (1868), and various zoning, school & property taxes. Also the Bureau of Land Management (Zoning laws are the first step to government property ownership) Think what happens if you don’t pay property tax!

2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.

Americans know this as misapplication of the 16th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, 1913, The Social Security Act of 1936.; Joint House Resolution 192 of 1933; and various State "income" taxes. We call it "paying your fair share".

3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.

Americans call it Federal & State estate Tax (1916); or reformed Probate Laws, and limited inheritance via arbitrary inheritance tax statutes.

4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.

Americans call it government seizures, tax liens, Public "law" 99-570 (1986); Executive order 11490, sections 1205, 2002 which gives private land to the Department of Urban Development; or the IRS confiscation of property without due process. Asset forfeiture laws are used by DEA, IRS, ATF etc...).

5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.

Americans call it the Federal Reserve which is a privately-owned credit/debt system allowed by the Federal Reserve act of 1913. All local banks are members of the Fed system, and are regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) another privately-owned corporation.

6. Centralization of the means of communications and transportation in the hands of the State.

Americans call it the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Department of Transportation (DOT) mandated through the ICC act of 1887, the Commissions Act of 1934, The Interstate Commerce Commission established in 1938, The Federal Aviation Administration, Federal Communications Commission, and Executive orders 11490, 10999, as well as State mandated driver's licenses and Department of Transportation regulations.

7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state, the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.

Americans call it corporate capacity, The Desert Entry Act and The Department of Agriculture… This is easily seen in these as well as the Department of Commerce and Labor, Department of Interior, the Environmental Protection Agency, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, Bureau of Mines, National Park Service, and the IRS control of business through corporate regulations.

8. Equal liability of all to labor. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.

Americans call it Minimum Wage. We see it in practice via the Social Security Administration and The Department of Labor.

9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries, gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equitable distribution of population over the country.

Americans call it the Planning Reorganization act of 1949 , zoning (Title 17 1910-1990) and Super Corporate Farms, as well as Executive orders 11647, 11731 (ten regions) and Public "law" 89-136.

10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production.

Americans are being taxed to support what we call 'public' schools, but are actually "government force-tax-funded schools " Even private schools are government regulated.

So to our military serving around the globe to “protect” our freedom I say thank you, but maybe it’s too late. Or maybe, the real threat to our freedom is not in the mountains and deserts of far away lands but actually in our own front yard. Maybe our troops need to be redeployed to Washington DC, because as I see it, that is where our freedom was, and continues to be, taken.

By the way, has anyone in NYC seen a black-box? It seems the government has lost a couple.

God bless us...we need it.

Living the good life.

So things have really gotten going for me lately. As you may have noticed from my latest blog I have joined both football and dance. Yes, I am multi-talented. So let's start with dance. Megan's dance company decided for the May show to have a "Dad's Dance", let's face it, they are just trying to sell tickets. So we have a couple of practices, or rehearsals as we call it in the biz, and it's going pretty well. The first part of our dance is to "Born to be Wild" (also known as Jeff's Theme) and that part I got down. Then last week we started the hip-hop section which I thought having been a break dancer in 1984 that I would ace but it was a bit rough. Luckily Megan stayed and watched so she can help me with my moves. I will let everyone know as soon as our tour dates are released so you can get tickets, I am sure they will go quick.

Football started, yes flag. We had one practice before our game and of course myself and another player got hurt in practice. That's what happens when accountants play outside. Luckily I was listed as probable for the game which I was able to play in. We lost and that's all I am going to say about that.

I also began my training for the Pat Tillman Run in April. We'll see how that turns out. It's a 4.2 mile run and I can barely drive that far without taking a break. (Of course in Phoenix traffic 4.2 miles takes a little over an hour). It has been rough training with my injury (I injured my ribs) but having received treatment, I should be back to training soon. I am looking forward to the race, it's for a good cause and it finishes on the ASU 42 yard line, so like Rudy, I will run onto the college football field.

That's it for now, but stay tuned. Great things are about to happen.
