Probably the saddest
day in the American history books, that which focused on the political scene of
a crime, occurred when long time Senator from Alaska Theodore Fulton Stevens
lost his beltway seat - because he was under indictment. Sad, especially when
you see other senators like Bob Menendez going through similar pain and
suffering of an indictment with more persuasive “guilty” evidence finding no
repercussions. A double standard exists, as some believe they can live
comfortably above the law. But with Ted, who was a decorated WWII fighter pilot
and the poster statement of a “Statesmen”, there was a reason a smear campaign during
Ted’s “innocent until proven guilty” allowed for a democratic adversary to orchestrate
a win over the political sleetmute of Alaska. This was Alaska the “Last
Frontier”, oil boom country, bear bounty country voting in a Democrat - it was
unprecedented. And Mark Begich lasted but a simple term, when Ted had been at
it successfully for some 40-years. OK, I am all for “Term Limits” but when
incompetency reaches home and controls one’s future…But the smear campaign
against incumbent Senator Stevens worked, as it was orchestrated by his “once” close
friends - which meant plenty of money meat to feed the hungry wolves. People
close to Mr. Stevens, or the namesake of the “Hulk” so befitting due his power
before the U.S. Senate as the Senate Pro Tempore 3rd in-line to take
over as Commander-in-Chief, his comrades were scared that the pressure on Ted
through trumped-up indictment charges - for receiving a gift of a table lamp - it
would unhinge the senator and there were ghosts hidden in that closet that had
to be kept sound asleep. Alaska is a very, very rich state and one that could
do without any appropriations from Uncle Sam to survive, except for “Military
Expenditures”. When Ted was in control of the purse strings, for every dollar
that was taken away by Uncle Sam on the hard-earned income of Alaskans, low and
behold the state received back 3-times that amount and that story was the
number one bone of contention that Senator John McCain held on too when in
republican competition with the “Hulk”, as that Alaskan grisly “greed” stole
away resources from other less fortunate states of the Union. McCain was also
very powerful, and fought for a dollar per dollar refund, which is how the
appropriations should work to be equitable for all Americans. A state should
get back only what the citizens put in, as no other way is equitable - as then
it reeks in misappropriation reeks in misrepresentation. And Alaska did not
need all this loot in the $millions$ courtesy of Uncle Sam’s perverted piggy-bank
being robbed! OK, the reason we get Don Young Bridges to Nowheresville! Yes
Alaska “strikes it rich” as last look advertised about $100-billion in
reserves. Alaska’s state portfolio of income property finds holdings all over
the world and 85% of the state’s over-inflated operating budget comes from oil
revenues with enough left over that the citizens enjoy a yearly “bonus” - a
free welfare check. But when Ted was forced to resign his beltway passion,
those behind the sabotage of this war hero also had plans to silence Mr.
Stevens - and in time Ted would be assassinated. The plane wreck that took his
life - well gag-me-with-a-spoon in this day and age of FAA air disaster
forensics, to find a report that says “inconclusive”, that is just an out for
not telling the truth of the matter. The plane carrying Mr. Stevens was sent on
a mission of doom and the end result was what some of his friends were looking
for - as the silent treatment. I know, as I had words with Ted, that sounded in
suspicion something ugly was to one day go down. See, a rewind of the history
books tells the story of why Ted was targeted. Back in 1956, Ted Stevens was a
young Federal prosecutor defending the United States government over a tax
evasion case - United States vs. Jack Marler. It should have been an easy
street case to try to trial, as there was up until this time “zero tolerance”
for cheating on one’s income taxation. Now Mr. Marler was an agent of the
Internal Revenue Service while assigned to the Alaskan branch and understood
the ramification of his action or inaction to not file his own 1040s, and the
outcome was the precipice of what would transpire someday and invite an
assassination attempt upon Ted Stevens, that which was successful. Ironic it
was, that the same agency that Ted litigated for would turn against him in the
end. Look, even though there were other passengers on Ted’s doomed flight,
innocent victims, the wealthy give not a rat’s ass as long as they can hide the
truth of a crime. If killing others hides the truth so they can hold strong
their wealth, you are just fodder to their “Daddy War Bucks” mentality. Yes,
people will cheat you out of life to hold on to their fortunes. And remember
what Dylan taught us: “The executioner’s face is always well hidden”. Now I
will get to the Marler aspect very shortly as to why it played into the
assassination of this war hero senator. When Ted Stevens found himself in the
cross-hairs of the FBI and IRS over some gifts from a friend that went
un-reported, Ted was about to start a campaign that insisted on the merits of
the “Marler” case, as Congress had reached a dilemma and there was no longer
any bipartisanship and a divide existed against the U.S. Constitution - which
means “We the People” were divided and Ted saw that as “We Fail” and “We Fall”.
And the only way to get back some semblance of bipartisan control was to throw
Congress’ meat and potatoes to the real hungry wolves - the American middle
class working heroes, through a coup d’etat against REPRESENTATION. It appeared
that with “funny money” from the wealthy and Russia entering the arena, the
“People” were outnumbered as special interest had taken over. Ted was to start
a campaign that boasted the merits of “Precedence Set” in the Jack Marler case.
See, what Ted would learn is that many of his friends in wealth were not paying
taxes on time when receiving $millions$ in income. Yes, they would purposely
delay filing their taxes and receive all kinds of “hate” mail from the IRS and
when push came to shove they would plead a leniency deal by calling on “Jack
Marler” and end up paying pennies on the dollar what they really owed from
earnings. It was widespread income corruption with frustration and the IRS
office in Alaska was being used as a convenient clearing house for this tax
scam. So Ted was about to come clean with that fact-of-the-matter, which was
about to cause an…revolution. Hold that thought, as he was silenced and case
closed. Some believe that Donald John Trump used this “Jack Marler” formula to
evade paying taxes. And since it is “Precedence Set”, it is a legal argument
that can withstand the rigors of the toughest IRS “Tax Cheat” rulings. But why
ruin a good thing? Why allow the common folk to enjoy the same, because it was
reserved for the wealthy! And if it were to become a mainstream habit - the
government could go broke or temporarily cease to operate. Now had it become a
tool all of US could use, that we can boycott paying any taxes if we are not
pleased with the “representation”, that would have caused a fire storm and then
the United States Supreme Court would be faced with rendering an “opine”. Yes,
with an appeal over a “precedence set” verdict when Jack Marler faced Ted
Stevens - the courts do not like to deal with as “Precedence Set”, it is how
our justice system works and once you start messing with it such can culminate
towards a disaster for justice. Once a “precedence set” case is overturned, all
previous cases litigated on that premise are also overturned - yes it invites a
nightmare. Now I have an opinion about this “precedence set”, it is an easy
street for lawyers and judges. No thinking involved, just slam down the damn
gavel on people’s liberty! OK, this setting is a double-edged sword, as precedence
set can be a good thing as once a case is tried, we hope the outcome is
justified and carry on the same verdict next time around. And with respect to
the “Marler” verdict, why in hell would the SCOTUS want to ruin a good thing
for the wealthy? True story. Ted tried to bring “Marler” back to life for the
good of the citizens, and his only true failure in life ended when that plane
was sabotaged to crash where evidence was scarce. At least it was in Alaska,
the place he loved, the place he defended even though Jack Marler held the
“Ace”! Note: When Jack Marler was tried for Federal crimes back in 1956, his
only defense was “No Taxation without Representation”, and that won his freedom
and set precedence that if “We the People” have NO REPRESENTTION, then we have
a weapon at our disposal to remedy what belongs to us with representation else
keep what belongs to us, our hard-earned income. The government cannot function
without “Taxation” in the same we cannot function without “Representation”,
that which is supposed to protect the U.S. Constitution. We owe it to ourselves
to behave in that same manner, as we have NO Representation when a GOP Freedom
caucus uses taxpayer money to commit “Treason”, and the list of derelictions
goes way beyond any sense of Representation. It is time now for the JACK MARLER
REVOLUTION. Starting August 9th, the 8th anniversary when
Ted Stevens was targeted by his friends to be forever silenced. This is our
greatest treasure, the power to drought the U.S. Treasury, until such time our
voice is heard and decency returns to those that are supposed to represent the
best interest of “All the People” instead of selfish interests that are trying
to re-tame the U.S. Constitution, as the Founding Fathers succeeded in that a
long, long time ago even before Ted battled it out with Jack. The sure sign
that “We the People” suffer from NO REPRESENTATION is the partisan divide in
Congress, it accomplishes nothing. With “True Representation” we would enjoy a
bipartisan revival, no matter which party is the majority. That is the only way
our democracy can function for the good of “All the People”. In ending, even
though Ted lost one of his first trials when trying to prosecute Jack Marler
for tax evasion, he admits it was one of his best cases, as it spoke for itself
and that verdict speaks loudly today. This is the “power of the People”. The
“Lousy Hat Solidarity Party” endorses the “Jack Marler Revolution” for the good
of American democracy, with liberty and justice for “ALL”.
