And the beat goes. President Obama has heard the voice of the American people telling him NO to his big spending health care agenda and he has heard this voice loud and clear, and yet he persists. Why? Does anyone know? It is obvious that he feels that once congress has done all it can to pass bills for health care reform, cap & trade, and hopefully sign and ratify that UN treaty in Cancun, Mexico later this year, he will have no further use for congress. Once these job, small business and industry busting bills become law, Obama's czardom will take over. Goodbye congress.
On the other hand, maybe the president thinks that ram & jam and damn the elections because ol' Andy Stern ('power of persuasion or persuasion of power' advocate), SEIU, ACORN, Black Panthers and the like will control the elections. Maybe my town of Fort Wayne, Indiana can be a test run for Andy Stern and his thugs (and not to say all union members are thugs....I've been in operation management for too many years to believe that).... we have some pretty good self defense laws in Indiana that apologizes to the red states in the nation for turning blue last election. It won't happen again. So, is he arrogant, assured that the fix is in?
Why is Obama so insistent on this legislation when he knows economically it will destroy the nation? Why does Obama seem intent on waving his fist under our landlord's nose while he purports to concern himself with the likes of the Tibetan or Taiwanese people? Is he looking for the Chinese Yuan to take center stage?
Does George Soros have his investments tied up in the Chinese economy...bet he does!
Okay, now answers...Obama could care less about your health. Obama could care less about the sovereign Republic of America. The barely visible main theme of Obama's drive to continue to ensure that America is forever a debtor nation with a broken economy, is population control. Obama will follow the UN recommendations as spelled out in it's Habitat Agenda 21, the role that developed nations must play in the redistribution of wealth to underdeveloped nations in the world. Obama will oblige up to 2.4% of our GDP for 2010 and all future years....even as the economy spirals out of control.
Every provision in the the UN's Habitat Agenda describes programs and sprinkles the word 'sustainability' liberally throughout.....here is what they consider to be sustainable under any program. A couple of quotes from Obama's lefty friends:
Dave Foreman - Earth First! Co-Founder: Reduce world population worldwide to no more than 100 million. Destroy industrial infrastructure and see wilderness return with a full complement of species worldwide."
I like to include this one from the Prince of Edinburgh, Prince Philip: "If I were reincarnated, I would wish to come back as a killer virus to lower human population levels." Damn, and all I along I thought this one was already a parasite living of the English people.
Finally, from the late and not so great, Jacques Cousteau: "In order to stabilize world population, we must eliminate 350,000 people per day. It is a horrible thing to say but it is just as horrible not to say it."
Healthcare bill needs to have the hook to ultimately drive all people into the system (system can be any shape or size including insurance pools) controlled by the economy minded U.S. Health Preventive Service which received their authority and funding under the Stimulus Bill that no one bothered to read. Ol' Ezekiel Emmanuel's recommendations for an economic bases medical delivery system will take effect when the shee herded into the 'plan', whatever shape that takes. We all saw smelled some of their ideas when in their zeal, before they even had the herded masses under their control, when the board suggest later and reduced number of mammograms for breast cancer and for later and reduced prostrate screenings..... Trial lawyers will eventually get most people into the public plan as insurance companies go bust under medical malpractice suits...but remember, you cannot sue the government plan....
Zeke Emmanuel is Rahm's bioethicist brother and trust me or do your own research....if you are about to have a baby with issues that will may be with the child for life (such as autism)....first they will insist you abort it...if not, you will not find medical assistance under this plan. People like me, who have worked for 45 years under mandates to contribute to social security and medicare will also find those knee replacements, hip replacements, stents etc...in short supply and very expensive...and again not covered by Zeke's recommendations because you will have outlived your usefulness to society.....You don't want to be a drain on the common good now, do you? Rahm would probably classify you a 'retard' for making assumptions about America caring for you.
Cap & Trade is a no brainer. Obama is still trying to foist this upon us even though all the climategate liars have come out now and confessed the conspiracy since the 1960s to gain control over the American Republic through a 'green emergency'. Didn't work out that way for Obama but you notice....he is still pursuing his agenda (21). Obama does not mind handing over a broken down republic to the world as long as he can be King of the World. Kind of like, Jeremiah the Bullfrog and we have already heard too much about what he would do if he were king of the world...
Here is the thing, President Obama...Your puny fist in the face of God as you try to break the Republic which stands as One Nation Under God, is an affront to all real Christians walking the earth today. All people, everywhere, instinctively know that America was established as that place in the world in which freedom should reign, where they know that if they can get here, they can make it here. People around the world that despise freedom of course would see us fall as that last beacon of hope for the world.
You should know this Mister President, since you claimed once, and I heard you, to be a christian that in order to be a christian one must be born again in the spirit just like Jesus commanded of the old pharisee, Nicodemus, in John 3:3 and emphasized again in John 3:7 "Marvel not that I tell ye, ye must be born again."
The number of people who have actually been born again among all who call themselves christian is a relatively small percentage because most have not been born again in the spirit....so you might think that numbers are on your side.
Mr. President, each and every person that is born again is indwelt by God's Holy Spirit. Another name for God's Holy Spirit is the 'restrainer'. Until the time, and I believe it to be relatively soon as we do not need to see additional prophesy for this to take place, the born again Christians are raptured, their indwelling Holy Spirit will restrain you from being just as bad as you want to be. Slow down....you are going to have to wait for us to leave.
As for this moment however, Mr. President, we are still here and we have that power to 'bind' and 'loose'...and surely your Christian training taught you all about that....
It is simple, Mr. President...forces that were previously restrained from shaking the earth are now loosed....those shakings we have seen recently is indeed evidence of that fact....the only question now remains Mr. President, is whether you want them to continue and become more severe or will you relinquish your assault on my Republic? You are proving to be inadequate to cope with world events let alone with what is best for real Americans. Forces that seek to destroy the health of democrats and their families have been loosed....even as they ponder legislation to force tax payers to pay for the infanticide in this country. Those who offer their children to the pagan god Molech and those who stand by and say nothing are equally quilty under the law. And under Christianity...well Christian women wouldn't kill the life within them, would they? They know their bodies are not their own, that they have been bought with a price....on Calvary, don't they?
Pay attention Mr. President when God speaks and he is speaking loudly right now. You can represent a nation that is the light of the world or you can continue the destruction of a nation that has become known for it's export of porn, abortions and alternative lifestyles the world over.
Do you want to slow down the destruction of the planet earth Mr President? Really? Then I would adamantly suggest that you fall on your knees and pray to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to forgive you and then seek God's guidance for our nation. Other than that, Mr. President....
Expect more of the same with some twists...earth quakes in the Pacific rim are too good to waste...like Rahm Emmanuel likes to say about not wasting good emergencies....what if now, Mr. President, that, oh crap, you found out that that deep, deep 8.8 seemingly harmless earthquake in Chile served to awaken some beasts lurking across the Pacific...the beasts known as the Ring of Fire? Could these volcanoes be the source of the sun going black in the sky and the moon blood red...or vice versa....I get those verses mixed up?
Callous you say....believers who die in a catastrophe will ultimately be joined with Jesus Christ in the new earth to come, non-believers who die are 'condemned already' because they have not believed on the name of Jesus Christ. Everyone has been asked if they care to be saved and all are free spirits under the law.
Good thing about Christianity...no one gets forced to do anything...exercise your free will as you see fit.
Even as in the days of Noah....

Put the Whale Down!
I love animals...some inspire me....some amuse me....some scare me....all deserve respect from true stewards of God's creations....capturing these Orca mammals and subjecting them to these small enclosures for the amusement of paying customers is crazy to start with.
Still and all this particular whale killed 3 people and Tilli's creator says she should die. I will give it to you in His words and let you decide but your decision if it is different from God's will of course, be wrong....
"And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered. Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.
Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man."
Genesis 9: 1-6 tells you alot. After the Great Flood, Noah was told by God the degree to which He, God, regards mankind. Even the angels are surprised at the depth to which God loves his human creation. The verses above say we should put that unfortunate captive orca down. And quit capturing them....
The verses above tell you also that man is made in God's own image and that capital punishment is indeed designed for those who would shed man's blood. The verses also tell you that God created the fowl, the beasts, the fish and mankind and that all of the foregoing were made for mankind...that sort of blows holes in PETA's arguements.
Of course, most of you probably do not care what God has to say about it.....mmm, mmm, mm.

Who's In Charge of that there Climate Anyway?
Let me wax poetic..."While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease." Genesis 8:22. God promised this after Noah was established once again on dry ground after the great flood.
Your climate is in God's control...Al Gore is powerless to do anything about or even call God's next move. I do know enough about God's Word to know that it never changes, is true and can be called into play by Christians will just the faith of a little, tiny mustard seed. I suspect some Christians have agreed with me in prayer to teach progressives all their is to know about who controls the climate.....oh yeah.....I think we have another one of those agreements about health...any dems die lately...Lautenberg, Kennedy, who else...
Among people in politics who despise Jesus Christ I would imagine there are those with those old family fears about cancer or heart disease running rampant among your extended families. If you know Jesus, know that you will go see trials but He will be there to see you through it....if you are a dem that stands on platform planks that includes murdering babies in the womb....you may have trouble explaining why your health fears should not be realized....
March 30th is the first day of Passover....I imagine I could be in Washington, DC on that day and that weekend to see if we can't muster up some agree on a plague of grasshoppers, locusts or some such pest....should be nearly Cherry Blossom Time...the capitol mall will be lovely...
I will see if I can muster up some support on Facebook...man, March 30th, August 28th, ....from Indiana...that is quite a round trip for a day or two here and there....oh well...we do want our country back right?
It should not surprise anyone that NYC (the home of the UN and it's Habitat Agenda Treaty) is being pummelled once again by snow. But you still have to ask yourself, Are we at that place on God's calendar wherein that last week of years is about to kick in? A sign of the times would be increased occurrences of things like storms, volcanoes, earth quakes etc, and becoming more and more sharp....just like a woman in labor about to give birth..... Can Obama cope?
Can you cope? You can if you understand Romans 10:8-10...and know God reads hearts....so it is between you and Him. Other than that Revelations 16:2 will be so appropriate for Obama-ites.

Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Atheism....Talk About An Elephant in the Room!
Some of you people out there including me from time to time want to blame the various intelligence gathering organizations in America, for what you perceive as their inability to connect the dots. And yet, most of you cannot connect the dots between Judaism, Christianity, Islam and Atheism.
As I am a Christian myself, born of my mama in 1947, and born of God's Holy Spirit in 1978, I will reserve my keenest judgement for those purporting to be Christian and yet unable to connect these dots themselves...
Okay, let us start with what they have in common. God for three and one as an anti-God. Really all four have God in common as all their destiny's are as dictated in his freely given salvaton plan. In that sense they fall into two groups, with one group already having a God-given proviso. Obviously, all also have their respective creation in common also. The potential to belong to one or either of the two groups is your call as it depends on how you receive God's Word on the subject. As found in the gospel of John, chapter 3 and verse 18, let me cite: "He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God" . (Psst...that Son of God personage...that be Jesus).
There are your two groups...believers and non-believers. All have the potential while they draw fresh air to join that small group of believers (I keep saying small group because the gates to paradise are strait and narrow and few ever find it). Some will, some won't. I am not here to doing anything but point to that potential to be fair (that old Marine part of me, 1964-73, grabs my tongue sometimes), I am not here to wail on behalf of any non-believers and I believe they will do enough of that 'wailing and gnashing' on their own, later. Let me explain the aforementioned proviso as well as firmly placing all four groups where they belong as either believers or non-believers.
The Jew is the recipient of the aforementioned proviso as the Jew is God's chosen people. The Jew has seen God allow their temple to be destroyed twice before and their ancestors taken in captivity, spread across the globe, subjected to atrocities that no other race has ever been subjected to across the world including the Holocaust. Yet today....many are still unbowed and some still have their golden calves.
God's perogative, allowed him to see past the sins of King David, when David thought it was cool to kill one of his subjects and take his wife, God still declared David as 'much loved.' David was not, however, permitted to honor God and build the temple...that was left to his son, Solomon.
God's perogative is allowing him to see past the stiff neck of still too many of his people and to see them gathered back into the land covenanted to them by Himself....yes, it is God's land. The proviso that puts many Jews firmly into that place where they share the same result as the Christian is that when Jesus does appear finally, they will believe and they will be saved. Those Jews who lived before Christ, who had the law of Moses upon their hearts, will grow meat, sinew and muscle to their otherwise dead, old, bones and walk the earth in that day, once again.
Okay, Jews are in. Christians (or should I say Gentiles), are in if they are born again in the spirit exactly like Jesus told that old pharisee Nicodemus when he came to visit Jesus in the dead of night...John 3:3 is where you find that and for emphasis, read the emphasis Jesus put on that command in John 3:7....Marvel not! Christians, are not in, if all they ever did was get dragged to church and Sunday school all their lives and then recant a whole bunch of rote, meaningless gibberish and participate in what some like Catholics would call sacraments in the same way they say their rosaries...rote memory without heartfelt acceptance of Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour and only God can read the hearts of men.
Like I said earlier, we are all born with free choice and it is simply time to poop or get off the pot. Lukewarmers, that includes you...unless you want to be spewed! I have known a few saved religionists and in fact I've known Catholics that are not only saved but charismatic as well, and even...pentecostal.....ooooh! Scary, huh! I have also known Jews who, without seeing Jesus face to face, have accepted him as their saviour. We call these Messianic Jews.
Muslims are not in because they do not believe in Jesus as the Son of God and indeed, consider him even a lesser prophet than their own Mohammed. They do not deny this. They do not have the proviso because that is only for the Jew. Both the Jew and the Muslim started with Abraham but the muslim came out of Abraham's disobedience to God. When God told Abraham to take Sarah his wife and have a son Abraham was okay with that but then he told Sarah. Sarah said, you are absolutely nuts...we are both over 100 years old, why don't you take Hagar, my handmaiden instead.....and Abraham did and Hagar begat the illegitimate son of Abraham, Ishmael, the father of today's muslim or edomite, if you will. As you read about the only land covenant provided to any people by God, know that God made that covenant with Abraham, confirmed it with his son Isaac (Abraham finally got it right), and then confirmed it again with Isaac's son Jacob. Can the muslim be in?.....sure, if he/she believes in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. That would require a conversion of faith but at least it wouldn't cost you your head at least not by Christians.
That brings us to the atheist. Communists, self-ascribed atheists, are all part of the scenario that has to be considered as we begin to connect those dots mentioned earlier. Your president is one of them.....I believe him to be in the very least a progressive, intent on using the Clower and Piven strategy to overload our American systems to destroy them.....and he is doing a pretty good job of it. Read all about the UN Habitat Agenda 21...oh heck, ought to look up that nasty club of Rome with George Soros and the like....
If they have pulled any of that stuff off line...let me know, I will repost it, while it is still legal.
That he is a progressive, probably a socialist is the least he could be, the worst he could be would be the anti-Christ....and no one can tell me otherwise....because no one knows exactly who the hell he is....like the play on words...hell? Timing is right. Israel is where she belongs. Netanyahu declares that Israel has realized fulfillment of prophecy as found in Ezekiel 37:21....
"And say unto them, (Pay attention now), Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land: Verse 28 goes on to tell you heathens "And the heathen shall know that I the Lord do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.
There are your dots people....everyone, all the end time actors, are in place. Most of you will read this and consider it hogwash....not for our time, you'll say. You know that we have always had wars, rumours of wars, pestilences etc., etc., etc., but Israel has only been Israel well for just a little less than a generation. Israel was reborn in 1948 and I was born in 1947 and I am getting old within my generation.
That refers to the fact that Jesus told his disciples to "Now learn a parable of the fig tree (hint: Israel is always that fig tree); When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled." Talking about my generation....someone should make a song out of that...
Daniel was told by my favorite archangel, Michael, "But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased."
So as this information age increasingly adds to our knowledge we grow distinctly further and further away from the God who told us that our wisdom is as foolishness to him.....like those Obama kids say, 'mmm, mmm, mm'.
Stage is set for Obama to finish trashing the Republic of Amerika, get us into that one world monetary system, one world government and soon as we Christians leave....a one world religion. Christians can be raptured at any time....no more prophesy needs to be fulfilled for that to take place and in fact until we do leave....it can't get as bad as it is going to be because of that indwelling Holy Spirit of ours...He goes with us....some people know the Holy Spirit as the restrainer.
Stage is set for all the nations of the world to come against Israel. I have said it before, as soon as your president signs that revived Oslo Accord of 1993 (that 7 year deal) along with the rest of the gang of four, the UN, the EU and parts Israel to give some to the Palestinians, God will part America...literally, from West to East....oh yeah....dems still have bad weather elements coming as long as they pretend to rule the climate and oh yeah, their individual and family health care status is being bound to their decisions to foist that ugliness called Obamacare on America....think about that people...including Republican progressives.
We have had quite a winter, a few earth quakes here and there but watch all of this increase kind of like a woman in labor about to give birth.,...them labor pains get sharper and closer together....think Obama will know what to do? Watch that Pacific Rim 'Ring of Fire' jump to life....
Somewhere along the way and soon what with that nutcase Ahmadinejad in power over there in Iran (hey, did you know that in Farsi which is the Iranian language, Iran means Aryan? Yep, got it from Hitler during WWII...Iran was a big fan and Persia until then), watch Damascus get vaporized....Isaiah 17.1.....a "ruinous heap", mmm, mmm, mm. A pain in the butt to Israel of an evening and gone the next morning. Read the whole chapter it is a good read....watch when Obama and all the rest rush at Israel and how God chases them back with a whirlwind.....mmmm, mmmm, mm. Kind of wish I was going to be in on the action. Oh yeah, we will be.
People, I speak light at times but all need to give this situation the gravity it deserves. This will indeed all come to pass and soon but can it be forestalled....don't know unless you ask....Pray!
Every student of prophesy knows the situation we are in....all the major players are in their rightful place and even the United States which has no place (sorry, no hero place) in scripture as a power must fall just as she is....her decline parallels yours..... Evil mother Russia, that old King of the North has her orders, can Magog be far behind? Kings of the East, China and that nasty confederation of 57 Islamic states (that is where Obama gets that 57 from when he counts the United States) are ready to roll...just ask Ahmadinejad or our landlord in China when Obama stiffs him on those T-note interest payments. When that buck is worth zero and your gold and silver can be found laying in the streets....mmm, mmm, mm. Hope there is no copy right infringement on that Obama kid stuff....mmm.
Finally, it matters little who Obama really is...he might only be the anti-christ's sidekick, the false prophet....the guidebook he is using is still the same.....
As I am a Christian myself, born of my mama in 1947, and born of God's Holy Spirit in 1978, I will reserve my keenest judgement for those purporting to be Christian and yet unable to connect these dots themselves...

That would require a conversion of faith but at least it wouldn't cost you your head at least not by Christians.
That brings us to the atheist. Communists, self-ascribed atheists, are all part of the scenario that has to be considered as we begin to connect those dots mentioned earlier. Your president is one of them.....I believe him to be in the very least a progressive, intent on using the Clower and Piven strategy to overload our American systems to destroy them.....and he is doing a pretty good job of it. Read all about the UN Habitat Agenda 21...oh heck, ought to look up that nasty club of Rome with George Soros and the like....
If they have pulled any of that stuff off line...let me know, I will repost it, while it is still legal.
That he is a progressive, probably a socialist is the least he could be, the worst he could be would be the anti-Christ....and no one can tell me otherwise....because no one knows exactly who the hell he is....like the play on words...hell? Timing is right. Israel is where she belongs. Netanyahu declares that Israel has realized fulfillment of prophecy as found in Ezekiel 37:21....
"And say unto them, (Pay attention now), Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land: Verse 28 goes on to tell you heathens "And the heathen shall know that I the Lord do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.
There are your dots people....everyone, all the end time actors, are in place. Most of you will read this and consider it hogwash....not for our time, you'll say. You know that we have always had wars, rumours of wars, pestilences etc., etc., etc., but Israel has only been Israel well for just a little less than a generation. Israel was reborn in 1948 and I was born in 1947 and I am getting old within my generation.
That refers to the fact that Jesus told his disciples to "Now learn a parable of the fig tree (hint: Israel is always that fig tree); When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled." Talking about my generation....someone should make a song out of that...
Daniel was told by my favorite archangel, Michael, "But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased."
So as this information age increasingly adds to our knowledge we grow distinctly further and further away from the God who told us that our wisdom is as foolishness to him.....like those Obama kids say, 'mmm, mmm, mm'.
Stage is set for Obama to finish trashing the Republic of Amerika, get us into that one world monetary system, one world government and soon as we Christians leave....a one world religion. Christians can be raptured at any time....no more prophesy needs to be fulfilled for that to take place and in fact until we do leave....it can't get as bad as it is going to be because of that indwelling Holy Spirit of ours...He goes with us....some people know the Holy Spirit as the restrainer.
Stage is set for all the nations of the world to come against Israel. I have said it before, as soon as your president signs that revived Oslo Accord of 1993 (that 7 year deal) along with the rest of the gang of four, the UN, the EU and parts Israel to give some to the Palestinians, God will part America...literally, from West to East....oh yeah....dems still have bad weather elements coming as long as they pretend to rule the climate and oh yeah, their individual and family health care status is being bound to their decisions to foist that ugliness called Obamacare on America....think about that people...including Republican progressives.
We have had quite a winter, a few earth quakes here and there but watch all of this increase kind of like a woman in labor about to give birth.,...them labor pains get sharper and closer together....think Obama will know what to do? Watch that Pacific Rim 'Ring of Fire' jump to life....
Somewhere along the way and soon what with that nutcase Ahmadinejad in power over there in Iran (hey, did you know that in Farsi which is the Iranian language, Iran means Aryan? Yep, got it from Hitler during WWII...Iran was a big fan and Persia until then), watch Damascus get vaporized....Isaiah 17.1.....a "ruinous heap", mmm, mmm, mm. A pain in the butt to Israel of an evening and gone the next morning. Read the whole chapter it is a good read....watch when Obama and all the rest rush at Israel and how God chases them back with a whirlwind.....mmmm, mmmm, mm. Kind of wish I was going to be in on the action. Oh yeah, we will be.
People, I speak light at times but all need to give this situation the gravity it deserves. This will indeed all come to pass and soon but can it be forestalled....don't know unless you ask....Pray!
Every student of prophesy knows the situation we are in....all the major players are in their rightful place and even the United States which has no place (sorry, no hero place) in scripture as a power must fall just as she is....her decline parallels yours..... Evil mother Russia, that old King of the North has her orders, can Magog be far behind? Kings of the East, China and that nasty confederation of 57 Islamic states (that is where Obama gets that 57 from when he counts the United States) are ready to roll...just ask Ahmadinejad or our landlord in China when Obama stiffs him on those T-note interest payments. When that buck is worth zero and your gold and silver can be found laying in the streets....mmm, mmm, mm. Hope there is no copy right infringement on that Obama kid stuff....mmm.
Finally, it matters little who Obama really is...he might only be the anti-christ's sidekick, the false prophet....the guidebook he is using is still the same.....

Israel that Fig Tree
"Now learn a parable of the fig tree: When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh; So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled." Matthew 24:32-34.
As you read about prophesy fulfilled before our very eyes do not forget the season we are in today....no one knows the hour nor the day of Christ's return except the Father but we are to know the season.....

NETANYAHU SAYS EZEKIEL 37 HAS COME TRUE
By Joel C. Rosenberg
(Washington, D.C., February 1, 2010) — Thanks for your prayers. I just got home late last night from a month-long teaching tour around the world for The Joshua Fund. It’s good to be home, but upon landing I learned that Ahmadinejad is threatening to unleash a “harsh blow” to the Judeo-Christian world on February 11th. No one’s sure what he means exactly, but the U.S. is moving new naval forces and Patriot missile batteries into the Gulf region, just in case.
A few highlights from the past few days:
* Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last week traveled to to Poland to commemorate the 65th anniversary of liberation of Auschwitz. Speaking on the actual site of the Nazi death camp, the Prime Minister warned the world of new genocidal threats against the Jewish people and the importance of acting early enough to prevent such threats from coming to pass. In a stunning and remarkable moment, Netanyahu also declared to the people of Europe and the world that the prophecies of Ezekiel 37 have been fulfilled. The Holocaust, he said, represented the “dry bones” and “graves” of the Jewish people, and out of that horror the State of Israel was resurrected, just as the Lord said would happen through the Hebrew Prophet Ezekiel. Rarely has any world leader given a major address on an international stage declaring End Times prophecies from the Bible have come true. But that is exactly what Netanyahu did. [Details and the full speech on the weblog.]
* On Saturday, I addressed the Break Forth conference of evangelical Christians in Edmonton, Canada, following Robin Mark singing his powerful worship song about the “days of Elijah” and the “days of Ezekiel.” Quoting from Netanyahu’s speech, I asked, “If the prophecies of Ezekiel 37 have come true in our lifetime, isn’t it remotely possible that the prophecies of Ezekiel 38 and 39 about the coming War of Gog and Magog — the anti-Israel alliance led by Russia and Iran — could come true in our lifetime, as well?” Teaching the two chapters verse by verse, I asked Canadian believers to truly “get ready and be prepared” to live lives of holiness and impact for Christ in these traumatic last days, to intensify their efforts to show Israel unconditional love and unwavering support, and to consider coming alongside The Joshua Fund as we seek to bless Israel and her neighbors in real and practical ways.
* Over the weekend, Lynn and I also had the honor of a private lunch with Anne Graham-Lotz, daughter of Billy Graham. Joining us was Anne’s daughter, Morrow, and our friends Tom and JoAnn Doyle. I’ve posted a few observations on the weblog, but let me just say Anne is a remarkable Bible teacher and passionate about preparing the Church for the return of Jesus Christ. She was born in May 1948, she told us, and is convinced that she is part of the “last generation” on earth, according to Matthew 24. We had a fascinating discussion about the state of the world at the moment, and the alarm bells that are going off indicating the return of Christ is drawing increasingly close.
* Meanwhile, The Joshua Fund team continues to get our new warehouse ready to begin relief operations and to stockpile food and critical supplies ahead of the next war. At the same time, we’re making preparations to provide food at Passover for hundreds of poor and needy Jewish families in Israel. We are also prayerfully working on doubling the number of food distribution centers in Israel that we’re helping operate from four to eight centers in the next few months. Please keep praying that the Lord would lead, guide and direct us for His glory. More details soon. God bless you.
Fact is, Christians have known the foregoing before Netanyahu said a word...we have redeemed the hour correctly and fully expect that the rapture of the saints will take place in our lifetime and indeed, no prophesy needs to be fulfilled prior to that happening....
1st Corinthians 15:51-52 speaks to the mystery of the rapture. The word rapture is not in the scripture but the description of what is to take place is...also a good reference to review when a whole bunch of people simply disappear is 1st Thessalonians 4:13-18.
If you want to be part of this 'raptured' crowd, read all about it in Romans 10:8-10...hey, look it up, you have to do some work to save your own butts....
Redeem the days wisely...time is indeed short....Iran is led by a nutcase with nuclear ambitions and only God and Mossad know the true state of Iran's readiness in using nuclear tipped weapons....read Isaiah 17 and know that this too is still in your near future....
Tell me then, should Obama crack down and maybe throw a naval blockade around Iran...that could forestall the inevitable.
MMM,MMM,MM.
As you read about prophesy fulfilled before our very eyes do not forget the season we are in today....no one knows the hour nor the day of Christ's return except the Father but we are to know the season.....

Party of Hell No!
Before our nation's lawmakers convene on February 25th to talk about Obama's health care initiatives already rejected by the majority of the American people, democratic lawmakers are already preparing a package that they stand prepared to ram through as a matter of socialist/progressive agenda, health care measures that will create a brand new, but certainly not constitutionally guaranteed, right to health care for all citizens...and beyond, I am sure. This new right cannot be constitutionally guaranteed by Obama nor his legislature because they are simply not backed by God...no Obama is really not the Messiah...eh, maybe a junior one to some....and our constitutional rights, already in existence, are guaranteed by God.
People, honestly, you still have a constitutionally guaranteed right to try and fail and to try again until you succeed, or....like many have apparently chosen...you have the right to sit on your butts for several more generations with your hands out expecting someone else to take care of you and yours....Grow up America....you wouldn't work before Obama began his job/industry busting spree...which continues with his health care and crap & trade measures...
Conservative voices among WE THE PEOPLE have already spoken on this issue and incumbents would be wise to get close enough to this meeting of purported 'bi-partisan' wrangling to smell this rat out. And no closer.
Start entirely over or forget it...this is the message to all participants and to you democrats who are already preparing a rammable package...you will be ousted when your time is up and everything will be reversed by a conservative super majority thanks to your arrogance today....
I do not know about you but I am getting pretty sick of Obama and his light in the loafer approach to defense, his attacks on our free market system and our capitalist society...the one that fueled our dreams for generations....time to vote this bay of pigs out of office.
Ooh-rah, Semper Fi and all those great sayings.
Hey, while no one likes to fight, someone has to know how...(old Marine saying). So to President Obama and all the rest of the progressives in both major parties, WE THE PEOPLE, adamantly say....HELL NO!

Joseph Andrew Stack Manifesto
This is a courtesy copy of the manifesto posted on line today...this man burned down his house with his wife and daughter inside, went to an airport, jumped into his single engine plane and flew it into a building in Austin, Texas. IRS is an occupant for sure.
The Insane Manifesto Of Austin Texas Crash Pilot Joseph Andrew Stack

Wow.
Check out the anti-big brother rant on EmbeddedArt.com that's almost certainly from the pilot of the crash.
The manifesto is dated today, and it even anticipated his death.
---------
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 (http://www.synergistech.com/1706.shtml#ConferenceCommitteeReport) 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 (http://www.synergistech.com/ic-taxlaw.shtml).
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.

Wow.
Check out the anti-big brother rant on EmbeddedArt.com that's almost certainly from the pilot of the crash.
The manifesto is dated today, and it even anticipated his death.
---------
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 (http://www.synergistech.com/1706.shtml#ConferenceCommitteeReport) 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 (http://www.synergistech.com/ic-taxlaw.shtml).
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.
