Blimp Part II and The Delegate Revolt What Happened to the Blimp-opera? Maybe I should explain......by Hickory Hendrickson

Some day there will be a "nice" article about the Blimp. For now.......people are working hard for a delegate "revolt" at the Republican National Convention. No negative publicity from me, even if it's not directly linked to the ongoing campaign.
Jerry Collette will be a little irritated but he'll get over it...he's a genuine person..he feels that he was wronged and wants fellow freedom advocates to be aware of a wolf who may have found a flunky. Collette's allusion to the "wolf and the sheep" is a reference to the famous quote by Benjamin Franklin which reads as follows: "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner. Liberty is a well armed lamb contesting the vote."
I agree with Collette portraying himself as the lamb in the first sentence of the the quote. However, I don't see him as being "well armed". "Contesting the vote," he is. "Well armed", he is not. Until Collette gets access to the Liberty Political Advertising data-base and transaction records, he has very few facts with which to plead his case to the "court of public opinion".
Anyone who questions Collette's integrity is not very well researched or a very good judge of character. Collette can be linked to nearly 30 years of honest work, be it Christian, Constitutional or Libertarian. His record should speak for itself. The Blimp Project was not a failure, as some would claim, it was a success. The main-stream media didn't boycott the blimp like they did the candidate, they embraced it and (of-course) loved taking free rides in the floating sign-board.
Break The Matrix is now taking a more mature and responsible approach to launching their media outlet. Here is the new announcement from Rick Williams of Basic Media Inc. "Status of Public Stock Offering" posted on their web-site.
"During the period February 12, 2008-- April 12, 2008, Basic Media, Inc. (then in formation) conducted a "testing the waters" process about a possible initial public offering of stock ("IPO"), pursuant to SEC Rule 230.254. Many of you expressed support and encouragement about our possible IPO, and we appreciate your views and comments. Other writers were critical of our ideas, suggesting that our public offering concept would be a scam, or other commentary of that sort. We have carefully considered a public stock offering framework and the responses we received, and this article will bring you up to date on our thinking."
"We perceive that our new company is not yet developed enough to justify an initial public offering at this time. While we are quite encouraged by the first reactions to our social networking website at www.BreakTheMatrix.com, our company is still in its early growth stage...." Full Article
Collette is doing great things with his projects some of which are outlined on his web-site, LibertarianLegal.org. His project with the Liberty Dollar will be featured in future articles.
Katherine Memole will also be featured in future articles with her ongoing project to keep the Freedom Movement alive and recruit new members to it's swelling ranks with "Freedom's Ground". A non-profit organization "sowing the seeds of freedom".
As for myself, I'm trying to make some money the old fashion way......work for it. I think people should understand who I am......I work hard for everything I have. Eight years in the oil-fields of Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico, drilling for high-pressure gas have left me with a slightly different view of the world. If I need money.......I go get some. I choose a different lifestyle now. One that brings me home safely every night to my three young children and my loving wife.
We don't need a lot of money. We own everything we have...the bank doesn't own it...we do. People do need some money though, so from time to time I have to do some real work and get some real money. When that happens I can't exactly do the research or commit the time necessary to write an accurate and informative article, so I just don't write anything.....
I recently had a small money crunch, so I worked in the oilfield for a month....sorry to all my fans and critics for leaving you hanging for so long but Part II of the Blimp Story will not be written by me. At least not until after the electronic voting machines who run our country make one the current neo-candidates dictator for the next four years.
Currently I support all freedom based project founded in good faith and hope to write about more of them as soon as possible. Thanks for being patient with me. I can be reached by email at hickoryjoseph@yahoo.com if anyone wants to help me find more leads or just cuss me without the kids reading it.
