Freight Very Slow, Is the Stock Market being Manipulated?

We didn't get moving last night as expected. Usually, when we are home, here in Florida, we know when we are going to be ready to leave and very seldom is it that dispatch has nothing for us to get moving with. This time, we have been home for two weeks, since the morning of the 4th, we called dispatch on the 17th to let them know we'd be ready on the evening of the 18th, we called them again about 1500 on the 18th to let them know we were now ready. We were told by dispatch that it was pretty slow so don't expect to get moving tonight...the 18th. We didn't get a load last night, as expected. I called again early this afternoon and they told us again, pretty slow, probably will be Monday night, Tuesday morning before we get moving. my point is this...

As stated earlier, it is rare that we don't get moving the day we state that we will be and are ready. Anybody, who knows much about the economy, knows that transportation is a leading indicator of the coming trends. Most stocks lag, transportation leads in determining trends. The stock market last week was up by about 550 points in the DOW while freight, as reported by many of my colleagues, had dropped off to nearly non-existent in our sector. DOW transports finally dropped about 13 points on Friday but the rest of the week they were up wildly.

We have been led to believe, by most in the Main Stream Media, that America is on the road to recovery, even though, those of us in the leading economic indicator are seeing freight volumes fall off on a near daily basis. Look, I am certainly no stock wizard, or economist, or financial adviser, I mean, I can barely balance my own check book and I use a coin counter to count my change,(well, not the change "O" has provided, that is pretty easy to count). I just find it difficult to swallow that the people in this field say freight has stopped moving and the stock market continues to rise. This novice certainly believes "manipulation" is a mild term for what is happening with the market. Personally, I think criminal misconduct would be closer to accurate.

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
Joseph Goebbels...Riech Minister of Propaganda, Nazi Germany, 1933-1945. Does that time period sound familiar?

1st Outing in the Truck since the Wrap Was Done

Well,it certainly wasn't much but I took off early this morning and went to Tampa to have new tires put on and a 3 axle alignment on the truck. I took off, expecting some interest, but I had no idea what would ensue.

I had to pull off the highway twice on the way down, rush hour traffic, people just wanted to see it, read it and discuss the wrap, the 912 project, and what is happening to America. When I got to Tampa, the response was overwhelming, both at the tire shop and the alignment shop 10 miles away.

I handed out about 30 or so constitutions, more than any single day since I started handing them out in January, and about the same amount of 9-12 brochures and 912taxpayer revolt flyers. I had a blast talking about and explaining our plight.

The next few months should certainly prove interesting, if not challenging. I am so looking forward to the dialogue this project is going to ignite. We will be leaving the evening of the 18th...Saturday night, and won't be back here until after the 912 taxpayer revolt in D.C. on the 12th of September, 2009.

Please check back often for updates on our experiences and for information about where you can come see the truck. We have also added a panel on each side for signatures of donors to the project. Please feel free to contribute here.

The Finished Product, The Truck is Done

Well, the long awaited, much anticipated, and highly promoted, 912 Project Truck is done. The folks at Today's Graphics INC have gone over and above what was expected in design, dedication and application of this project. Words, nor could pictures ever describe how I appreciate their quality in workmanship and generous devotion of their time.

While Glenn Beck does not have anything to do with this project personally, his website, and radio and television talk shows are certainly the inspiration behind the design.

I believe, like Glenn, that we all have a place in life, we are all here for a purpose. While we may not always know where we are being led, where God is telling us to go, as long as we go where He guides us, all will work out. The road may be rough, trials will be many but if we will Keep Our Chin Up, Eyes Forward, and Pray Fervently, God will certainly help us through the trials and tribulations we may suffer. My belief is that Glenn is here to encourage all of us and that I am here to do what I am doing...Trying to wake up America. You too, have a purpose, a calling if you will. The fact is, that if you are here, or on www.the912project.com, or listening to Glenn on his radio and television shows, I think it is for a reason. This country was founded on Christian Values and it will be saved in the same manner in which it was founded, and by the same type of folks, regular, everyday, run of the mill, average RED BLOODED AMERICANS!!!

All that being said, I have for several weeks been promising pictures of my truck after the "wrap" was done. Wait no longer. The pictures are here, the truck is done, and we will be back on the road on the evening of the 18th of July. I will, as promised, be updating this site almost daily, sometimes more often, other times less often, so that you will know where I am and if I am going to be in your city soon. I hope that you will all come see the truck if we get to your city. The company we work for has terminals in all major U.S. cities, mostly around the airport any given city.

For now, please enjoy the pictures until you can get to see the truck. Remember, pictures just do not do this wrap justice.

Please, if you like what we are doing, if you believe in our country, the 912 project, the Tea Party Movement, and that all we need is to wake Americans up so that we can salvage our country, feel free to donate here to help defray the costs of our project. Remember, we will be in Washington D.C. on September 12, 2009 and if you donate here, I want you signature on the truck when we see you there.

It is my regret that I have had to remove the Paypal hyperlinks within the test of these posts since I am way too technologically challenged to make them work. I you care to contribute to this project, any of the "DONATE"buttons will take you to the Paypal site to make a contribution. Any and all are welcome, and appreciated.

Another Update

Just a quick update. I had promised pictures of the finished truck wrap would be here tonight. I just received a call from the vinyl shop and they advised me that the truck probably won't be done until sometime Tuesday, the 14th rather than today. I am sorry for the delay but this shop is doing a phenomenal job and they refuse to sacrifice quality for speed, (which I appreciate and respect).

Though this has actually caused me some scheduling challenges, I don't see that it will cause any problems that will prove to be irreconcilable. Please continue to check back her often and we should have pictures up no later than Wednesday evening if all goes well.

For those of you that are interested, here is a tease of what the wrap will look like. I believe we will all be very proud of the final product.

Please feel free to make you contribution to the project here.

The Truck is at the Wrap Contractor

My wife and I took the truck to the shop this morning. We spent about an hour or so finalizing the design features of the vinyl wrap and type of fonts to be used in different areas. I believe, and I certainly hope you will be pleased with the finished product and proud to be a part of the project. I dare not reveal any details here as I just couldn't, in words, express how it is going to look.

Please check back often. The pictures will be up here, hopefully, by the evening of Monday the 13th of July, 2009.

Truck to be Wrapped This Week

My wife and I are at our home this week for some much deserved time off. Well, kinda time of. Actually, I will be working on maintaining the truck for much of the next 14 days and my wife is working in the house, so actually, though we aren't working at our "regular" job, we are actually working.

Besides me working on the truck, I will have the truck at the vinyl printer/installer for our "912 project" theme wrap. I believe you will all be very pleased with the finished product and that you will be proud to be a part of the project. The contractor wants the truck for five full days since it is such a big project and one that demands the utmost attention to detail. After the truck is done on Sunday, there will be a photographer here on Monday to get some professional quality pictures to send out to everyone involved in the project and to post here on this site.

Be sure and check back here often to see the finished product and to see where we are traveling at any given time so that you can come and see the truck when we are in your area. Also, please be sure and sign up to attend the 912dc.org taxpayer protest in Washington D.C.. We will have the truck in the area that week and we hope to see you all there.

Please feel free to make you contribution to the project here as well.
