<![CDATA[It is no secret that college students are in debt. What is shocking is the level and speed at which “normal” students are amassing debt, and the powerful affect it has on their adult lives. Suddenly, being $20,000, $50,000, even $100,000 in debt upon college graduation has become overwhelmingly common in America. Debt U - How Higer Education Breeds a Lifestyle of Debt takes an irreverent look into the lives of many young adults, depicting how debt in college leads to more debt after graduation, and the dangerous financial consequences that follow. The author illustrates a fascinating and frightening portrait of the current economic climate faced by graduates. He provides invaluable information that every student, young adult, and parent needs in order to navigate the minefield of debt - and a new vision for what can be done to change it.

<![CDATA[<blockquote> People are learning that the phrase "justice for all" in the pledge of allegience is a bald faced lie. If you are rich you get an entirely different type of "justice" than what you get if you're poor. The USA is the most materialistic nation in the world. If you're rich, you're somebody. If you're poor, you're nobody. The truth will set us free from injustice and the cause of injustice, namely insanely greedy white supremist kajillionaires. It will also set us free from poverty and war, and all the other results of extreme ignorance, including separatism, racism & nationalism. <hr> In matters of truth and justice, there is no difference between large and small problems, for issues concerning the treatment of people are all the same. Albert Einstein "Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are." Benjamin Franklin Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice. Justice at its best is love correcting everything that stands against love." Martin Luther King "Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance." Senator Robert Kennedy "The media is the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent..." Malcolm X "Without sharing there can be no justice; without justice there can be no peace; without peace there can be no future... Man must change or die. There is no other course." Maitreya, the World Teacher <a href="http://www.share-international.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.share-international.org</a> <hr> "Know ye not that ye art Gods?"

<![CDATA[Tired of trying Noni, Goji, Xango, or the Acai berry?

I'm talking wellness vs. healthcare, and nutrition vs. medicine. This main ingredient in our product is the Coffeeberry and we have a patented/proprietary product which in other words means that it has been stabilized and standardized and has been scientifically engineered to provide you with the suppliments you need for not only antioxidants but also for energy, immune system, inflammatory, and your vitamin/minerals. But in terms of antioxidants the coffeberry product has over 110,000 ORAC per liter and offers over 20 servings of fruits and VEGETABLES per 3oz. serving. I'm looking for few strong contacts that can help me in getting this product to the masses.

<![CDATA[For those of you interested in a management position at johhny finns: I was hired as a manager there. I quit my other job to join up with them. 3 days after having to go to cedar park to work at 1431 cafe, which is just a low class Jims dinner, I got stuck on south mopac because of two auto accidents. I called them 30 min before I was supposed to be there and let them know what was going on. When I walked through the door, I was was fired for being late and sent packing. I have two small children and soooooo many bills. This was TOTALLY uncalled for. I had hired some of the best bartenders in austin just to tell them sorry, nevermind. I feel that the people involved with this restaurant are very inconsiderate about other people and their lives. They are completely unfair and will turn on you whenever they feel they can. They low-ball on salary, give you one day off a week, and don't offer any insurance, paid time, ANYTHING. I have never been put in this sort of position before and am a professional, family man that didn't deserve this treatment. In short.....think twicw about working for these Nazi Assholes!!!!!!!!! ]]>

<![CDATA[There is nothing great about Joe Stack, the terrorist. He was a f***-up who couldn't handle living life as a man and decided to slaughter innocent civil servants for something that they had nothing to do with. The man was and is a coward and a waste of the time and effort society put into him. Just another right wing nutjob not willing to face up to his own mistakes but willing to blame anyone he can instead. He tried to take advantage of the system and got caught, plain and simple. He decided to ruin the lives of his wife, children, and the 1,000 employees of the building he destroyed and he took the life of a true American serving his country and his fellow citizens. I personally believe that Mr. Stack should not be allowed to be buried in American soil.....send his body overseas with the rest of the terrorists.]]>

Established in 1975, The Network is a grassroots, nonprofit organization that fights for the enactment and enforcement of laws to protect animals from abuse and neglect. The Network is a voice for every animal and animal welfare agency in Texas. Your help is especially needed during January through June of a legislative year, which falls every odd numbered year in Texas (ie: 2009). During this time, we need you to phone your legislators, mail letters, help with fund raising, assist in legal research, and join us at the Capitol to lobby the legislature. During the off years, THLN works to determine the animal protection issues to be pursued in the next session. With your assistance, we can educate more people about abuse and neglect plus advocate for those without a voice between legislative sessions. Will you help them? Together we can make a difference.

<![CDATA[The attack on the IRS in Austin might not be what it seems. The government lies often and sometimes people need to destroy people who know things or are in possession of damaging documents. The mass media has gone to what we journalists call "Yellow Journalism" due to the way they try to say Joe Stacks was a complete raving mad man. They are wrong. He after all was a software engineer and had much more competence and intelligence than the mass media mouthpieces approved of by the federal government. <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100219/ap_on_re_us/us_plane_crash_texas" rel="nofollow"> In this AP article the journalist was like many I have seen who work for mass media, part of the pro war criminal alliance.</a> The government kills people daily around the Earth, and they injected me with chemicals forcibly after surviving attacks on my life after FDIC bank examiner employment and free-lance investigative journalist work. I do journalistic work as a labor of love, not for some fat wealthy warmonger at AP or the federal communist style dictatorship in power. At my website at <a href="http://www.angelfire.com/zine2/democracyordeath/" rel="nofollow">Mobile Audit Club</a> I have written the same sorts of things. I have been under attack for 10 years. I, Kurt Brown, former all American FDIC good two shoes Bank Examiner, later an investigative journalist free-lance, and then what I call myself now in forced retirement, the ARD F-DIC Party Clown. I do not care if those who tried to kill me or forcibly injected me are killed, but I see Stack's effort as futile. It was his revenge and his end. It could have been a cover up of an assassin and Joe Stacks was just a figment of the imagination. I do not trust the mass media or government. We should teach our children to cover their scrotum and their derriere in life because we have a caste setting and warmongering horde over us and it appears we will be prisoners till our extinction on this planet. The man was right about one thing -- the federal government lies about many things. I know things Stacks does not know. I worked in high finance and I investigated many government crimes as a journalist. The deck is stacked against men like Stacks. They are not in the inner circles. I admire him but his attempt to change things was futile. And it might have been a coverup for something bigger, or a distraction. The computers go down for a moment and are vunerable after an attack like that. America is no longer a captialist nation for the lower caste, therefore America is no longer a capitalist nation but a nation of strife and conflict and syndicated actions. Warfare will be increasing over time for the coming heroin syndicates. Let's face it, the <a href="http://www.honoluluasa.org/mmj_states.htm" rel="nofollow"> marijuana syndicates are in place now and the old slave states are still the old slave states</a>. After all, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWg8iaLuBDg&NR=1" rel="nofollow">Money Makes The World Go Around (music video Wonka song)</a>. I want 9.11 million dollars for the American Holocaust I endured. I want to paint a pretty picture of revenge but I have been tortured and injected and attacked repeatedly. Their war is their war and I do not care if they are attacked. The IRS would not hire me for an international auditor job a few years ago. I would rather work in the banking regulatory business. The bucket, the banking regulatory system, has holes in it, bad leaks. The IRS provides the piping from remote locations for revenues. I was not hired. I tend to salvage things. A junk man of a new breed. I will take that job in Austin now, but I want to get to carry my guns. I might decide to shoot my ARD FDIC Sweet Carol doll and let her visit Stacks where ever he resides now. .. Kids, life is not as bad as it seems. Behind every nut is a choke. So grad hold of the ARD F-DIC Party Clown, and watch him as he throttles his whore and watch the Raven pop out and say, "ARD Nevermore, Sweet Carol F-DIC Whore." The saddest thing of life is knowing that the criminals in government always turn the opposition on the innocent. It is the hidden shadow government that will get you right between the eyes, and you won't see it coming. They love prisons also. When they can not kill you, they put you in prison. The lies are apparent and the question always becomes, "Whatcha gonna do about it?" and that question normally comes from those getting the lions share. Every thing has its cycle. Every thing meets its match. I would like to sing you a sweet carol, a sacrifical melody, but I am shy and I might sing off key. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIHljAY1bKE" rel="nofollow">What would you do I sang out of tune.

<![CDATA[ If you’re reading this, you’re no doubt asking yourself, “Why did this have to happen?” The simple truth is that it is complicated and has been coming for a long time. The writing process, started many months ago, was intended to be therapy in the face of the looming realization that there isn’t enough therapy in the world that can fix what is really broken. Needless to say, this rant could fill volumes with example after example if I would let it. I find the process of writing it frustrating, tedious, and probably pointless… especially given my gross inability to gracefully articulate my thoughts in light of the storm raging in my head. Exactly what is therapeutic about that I’m not sure, but desperate times call for desperate measures. We are all taught as children that without laws there would be no society, only anarchy. Sadly, starting at early ages we in this country have been brainwashed to believe that, in return for our dedication and service, our government stands for justice for all. We are further brainwashed to believe that there is freedom in this place, and that we should be ready to lay our lives down for the noble principals represented by its founding fathers. Remember? One of these was “no taxation without representation”. I have spent the total years of my adulthood unlearning that crap from only a few years of my childhood. These days anyone who really stands up for that principal is promptly labeled a “crackpot”, traitor and worse. While very few working people would say they haven’t had their fair share of taxes (as can I), in my lifetime I can say with a great degree of certainty that there has never been a politician cast a vote on any matter with the likes of me or my interests in mind. Nor, for that matter, are they the least bit interested in me or anything I have to say. Why is it that a handful of thugs and plunderers can commit unthinkable atrocities (and in the case of the GM executives, for scores of years) and when it’s time for their gravy train to crash under the weight of their gluttony and overwhelming stupidity, the force of the full federal government has no difficulty coming to their aid within days if not hours? Yet at the same time, the joke we call the American medical system, including the drug and insurance companies, are murdering tens of thousands of people a year and stealing from the corpses and victims they cripple, and this country’s leaders don’t see this as important as bailing out a few of their vile, rich cronies. Yet, the political “representatives” (thieves, liars, and self-serving scumbags is far more accurate) have endless time to sit around for year after year and debate the state of the “terrible health care problem”. It’s clear they see no crisis as long as the dead people don’t get in the way of their corporate profits rolling in. And justice? You’ve got to be kidding! How can any rational individual explain that white elephant conundrum in the middle of our tax system and, indeed, our entire legal system? Here we have a system that is, by far, too complicated for the brightest of the master scholars to understand. Yet, it mercilessly “holds accountable” its victims, claiming that they’re responsible for fully complying with laws not even the experts understand. The law “requires” a signature on the bottom of a tax filing; yet no one can say truthfully that they understand what they are signing; if that’s not “duress” than what is. If this is not the measure of a totalitarian regime, nothing is. How did I get here? My introduction to the real American nightmare starts back in the early ‘80s. Unfortunately after more than 16 years of school, somewhere along the line I picked up the absurd, pompous notion that I could read and understand plain English. Some friends introduced me to a group of people who were having ‘tax code’ readings and discussions. In particular, zeroed in on a section relating to the wonderful “exemptions” that make institutions like the vulgar, corrupt Catholic Church so incredibly wealthy. We carefully studied the law (with the help of some of the “best”, high-paid, experienced tax lawyers in the business), and then began to do exactly what the “big boys” were doing (except that we weren’t steeling from our congregation or lying to the government about our massive profits in the name of God). We took a great deal of care to make it all visible, following all of the rules, exactly the way the law said it was to be done. The intent of this exercise and our efforts was to bring about a much-needed re-evaluation of the laws that allow the monsters of organized religion to make such a mockery of people who earn an honest living. However, this is where I learned that there are two “interpretations” for every law; one for the very rich, and one for the rest of us… Oh, and the monsters are the very ones making and enforcing the laws; the inquisition is still alive and well today in this country. That little lesson in patriotism cost me $40,000+, 10 years of my life, and set my retirement plans back to 0. It made me realize for the first time that I live in a country with an ideology that is based on a total and complete lie. It also made me realize, not only how naive I had been, but also the incredible stupidity of the American public; that they buy, hook, line, and sinker, the crap about their “freedom”… and that they continue to do so with eyes closed in the face of overwhelming evidence and all that keeps happening in front of them. Before even having to make a shaky recovery from the sting of the first lesson on what justice really means in this country (around 1984 after making my way through engineering school and still another five years of “paying my dues”), I felt I finally had to take a chance of launching my dream of becoming an independent engineer. On the subjects of engineers and dreams of independence, I should digress somewhat to say that I’m sure that I inherited the fascination for creative problem solving from my father. I realized this at a very young age. The significance of independence, however, came much later during my early years of college; at the age of 18 or 19 when I was living on my own as student in an apartment in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. My neighbor was an elderly retired woman (80+ seemed ancient to me at that age) who was the widowed wife of a retired steel worker. Her husband had worked all his life in the steel mills of central Pennsylvania with promises from big business and the union that, for his 30 years of service, he would have a pension and medical care to look forward to in his retirement. Instead he was one of the thousands who got nothing because the incompetent mill management and corrupt union (not to mention the government) raided their pension funds and stole their retirement. All she had was social security to live on. In retrospect, the situation was laughable because here I was living on peanut butter and bread (or Ritz crackers when I could afford to splurge) for months at a time. When I got to know this poor figure and heard her story I felt worse for her plight than for my own (I, after all, I thought I had everything to in front of me). I was genuinely appalled at one point, as we exchanged stories and commiserated with each other over our situations, when she in her grandmotherly fashion tried to convince me that I would be “healthier” eating cat food (like her) rather than trying to get all my substance from peanut butter and bread. I couldn’t quite go there, but the impression was made. I decided that I didn’t trust big business to take care of me, and that I would take responsibility for my own future and myself. Return to the early ‘80s, and here I was off to a terrifying start as a ‘wet-behind-the-ears’ contract software engineer... and two years later, thanks to the fine backroom, midnight effort by the sleazy executives of Arthur Andersen (the very same folks who later brought us Enron and other such calamities) and an equally sleazy New York Senator (Patrick Moynihan), we saw the passage of 1986 tax reform act with its section 1706. For you who are unfamiliar, here is the core text of the IRS Section 1706, defining the treatment of workers (such as contract engineers) for tax purposes. Visit this link for a conference committee report (<a href="http://www.synergistech.com/1706.shtml#ConferenceCommitteeReport" rel="nofollow">http://www.synergistech.com/1706.shtml#ConferenceCommitteeReport</a>) regarding the intended interpretation of Section 1706 and the relevant parts of Section 530, as amended. For information on how these laws affect technical services workers and their clients, read our discussion here (<a href="http://www.synergistech.com/ic-taxlaw.shtml" rel="nofollow">http://www.synergistech.com/ic-taxlaw.shtml</a>). SEC. 1706. TREATMENT OF CERTAIN TECHNICAL PERSONNEL. (a) IN GENERAL - Section 530 of the Revenue Act of 1978 is amended by adding at the end thereof the following new subsection: (d) EXCEPTION. - This section shall not apply in the case of an individual who pursuant to an arrangement between the taxpayer and another person, provides services for such other person as an engineer, designer, drafter, computer programmer, systems analyst, or other similarly skilled worker engaged in a similar line of work. (b) EFFECTIVE DATE. - The amendment made by this section shall apply to remuneration paid and services rendered after December 31, 1986. Note: · "another person" is the client in the traditional job-shop relationship. · "taxpayer" is the recruiter, broker, agency, or job shop. · "individual", "employee", or "worker" is you. Admittedly, you need to read the treatment to understand what it is saying but it’s not very complicated. The bottom line is that they may as well have put my name right in the text of section (d). Moreover, they could only have been more blunt if they would have came out and directly declared me a criminal and non-citizen slave. Twenty years later, I still can’t believe my eyes. During 1987, I spent close to $5000 of my ‘pocket change’, and at least 1000 hours of my time writing, printing, and mailing to any senator, congressman, governor, or slug that might listen; none did, and they universally treated me as if I was wasting their time. I spent countless hours on the L.A. freeways driving to meetings and any and all of the disorganized professional groups who were attempting to mount a campaign against this atrocity. This, only to discover that our efforts were being easily derailed by a few moles from the brokers who were just beginning to enjoy the windfall from the new declaration of their “freedom”. Oh, and don’t forget, for all of the time I was spending on this, I was loosing income that I couldn’t bill clients. After months of struggling it had clearly gotten to be a futile exercise. The best we could get for all of our trouble is a pronouncement from an IRS mouthpiece that they weren’t going to enforce that provision (read harass engineers and scientists). This immediately proved to be a lie, and the mere existence of the regulation began to have its impact on my bottom line; this, of course, was the intended effect. Again, rewind my retirement plans back to 0 and shift them into idle. If I had any sense, I clearly should have left abandoned engineering and never looked back. Instead I got busy working 100-hour workweeks. Then came the L.A. depression of the early 1990s. Our leaders decided that they didn’t need the all of those extra Air Force bases they had in Southern California, so they were closed; just like that. The result was economic devastation in the region that rivaled the widely publicized Texas S&L fiasco. However, because the government caused it, no one gave a shit about all of the young families who lost their homes or street after street of boarded up houses abandoned to the wealthy loan companies who received government funds to “shore up” their windfall. Again, I lost my retirement. Years later, after weathering a divorce and the constant struggle trying to build some momentum with my business, I find myself once again beginning to finally pick up some speed. Then came the .COM bust and the 911 nightmare. Our leaders decided that all aircraft were grounded for what seemed like an eternity; and long after that, ‘special’ facilities like San Francisco were on security alert for months. This made access to my customers prohibitively expensive. Ironically, after what they had done the Government came to the aid of the airlines with billions of our tax dollars … as usual they left me to rot and die while they bailed out their rich, incompetent cronies WITH MY MONEY! After these events, there went my business but not quite yet all of my retirement and savings. By this time, I’m thinking that it might be good for a change. Bye to California, I’ll try Austin for a while. So I moved, only to find out that this is a place with a highly inflated sense of self-importance and where damn little real engineering work is done. I’ve never experienced such a hard time finding work. The rates are 1/3 of what I was earning before the crash, because pay rates here are fixed by the three or four large companies in the area who are in collusion to drive down prices and wages… and this happens because the justice department is all on the take and doesn’t give a fuck about serving anyone or anything but themselves and their rich buddies. To survive, I was forced to cannibalize my savings and retirement, the last of which was a small IRA. This came in a year with mammoth expenses and not a single dollar of income. I filed no return that year thinking that because I didn’t have any income there was no need. The sleazy government decided that they disagreed. But they didn’t notify me in time for me to launch a legal objection so when I attempted to get a protest filed with the court I was told I was no longer entitled to due process because the time to file ran out. Bend over for another $10,000 helping of justice. So now we come to the present. After my experience with the CPA world, following the business crash I swore that I’d never enter another accountant’s office again. But here I am with a new marriage and a boatload of undocumented income, not to mention an expensive new business asset, a piano, which I had no idea how to handle. After considerable thought I decided that it would be irresponsible NOT to get professional help; a very big mistake. When we received the forms back I was very optimistic that they were in order. I had taken all of the years information to Bill Ross, and he came back with results very similar to what I was expecting. Except that he had neglected to include the contents of Sheryl’s unreported income; $12,700 worth of it. To make matters worse, Ross knew all along this was missing and I didn’t have a clue until he pointed it out in the middle of the audit. By that time it had become brutally evident that he was representing himself and not me. This left me stuck in the middle of this disaster trying to defend transactions that have no relationship to anything tax-related (at least the tax-related transactions were poorly documented). Things I never knew anything about and things my wife had no clue would ever matter to anyone. The end result is… well, just look around. I remember reading about the stock market crash before the “great” depression and how there were wealthy bankers and businessmen jumping out of windows when they realized they screwed up and lost everything. Isn’t it ironic how far we’ve come in 60 years in this country that they now know how to fix that little economic problem; they just steal from the middle class (who doesn’t have any say in it, elections are a joke) to cover their asses and it’s “business-as-usual”. Now when the wealthy fuck up, the poor get to die for the mistakes… isn’t that a clever, tidy solution. As government agencies go, the FAA is often justifiably referred to as a tombstone agency, though they are hardly alone. The recent presidential puppet GW Bush and his cronies in their eight years certainly reinforced for all of us that this criticism rings equally true for all of the government. Nothing changes unless there is a body count (unless it is in the interest of the wealthy sows at the government trough). In a government full of hypocrites from top to bottom, life is as cheap as their lies and their self-serving laws. I know I’m hardly the first one to decide I have had all I can stand. It has always been a myth that people have stopped dying for their freedom in this country, and it isn’t limited to the blacks, and poor immigrants. I know there have been countless before me and there are sure to be as many after. But I also know that by not adding my body to the count, I insure nothing will change. I choose to not keep looking over my shoulder at “big brother” while he strips my carcass, I choose not to ignore what is going on all around me, I choose not to pretend that business as usual won’t continue; I have just had enough. I can only hope that the numbers quickly get too big to be white washed and ignored that the American zombies wake up and revolt; it will take nothing less. I would only hope that by striking a nerve that stimulates the inevitable double standard, knee-jerk government reaction that results in more stupid draconian restrictions people wake up and begin to see the pompous political thugs and their mindless minions for what they are. Sadly, though I spent my entire life trying to believe it wasn’t so, but violence not only is the answer, it is the only answer. The cruel joke is that the really big chunks of shit at the top have known this all along and have been laughing, at and using this awareness against, fools like me all along. I saw it written once that the definition of insanity is repeating the same process over and over and expecting the outcome to suddenly be different. I am finally ready to stop this insanity. Well, Mr. Big Brother IRS man, let’s try something different; take my pound of flesh and sleep well. The communist creed: From each according to his ability, to each according to his need. The capitalist creed: From each according to his gullibility, to each according to his greed. Joe Stack (1956-2010) 02/18/2010 ]]>
