Our new President-elect makes no bones about his plan to socialize our country:

By Nedra Pickler

ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO – Inheriting an economy in peril, President-elect Barack Obama yesterday warned that the nation faces the challenge of a lifetime and pledged he would act urgently to help Americans devastated by lost jobs, disappearing savings and homes seized in foreclosure.

His promises sound good, superficially, but his focus does not appear to be on stimulating the economy; rather it is on equalizing the economy, helping (giving federal aid to) the "disadvantaged". Where will the "help" come from? It will be taken from the ones who worked for it and given to the ones who did not. And to those who could not largely because of his own (Obama's) incompetence in dealing with matters of national finance (reference his deep involvement in the Fanny Mae fiasco that was instrumental in causing the loss of jobs and savings and homes).

Oh How the Great Have Fallen

The month of October went like a whirlwind! The activity was non-stop, and I've neglected this blogspot, but I have some news to share.

First of all, I am proud of our nation for electing an African American to the highest office in the land. In the same breath, I'm disgusted with us all for electing a man who hates America and the American traditions we hold dear - a man who ridicules the Bible, a man who is supported and funded by terrorist organizations (he couldn't be accepted into the FBI because of his associations with known terrorists), a man who wants to bring a Marxist socialism to our government, a man who won't wear an American flag as a lapel pin because he finds it offensive. He even removed the American Flag from his campaign plane! He admits to attending flag burnings with his wife.

Our new President-elect wants to bring change to America because our new President-elect HATES AMERICA!

Alas, the blinded masses never listened as boldly proclaimed his disdain for our country and everything the Founding Fathers built it upon. I can hear him saying in years to come, as he implements the policies that destroy our land, "You knew I was a snake when you picked me up!" We have no excuses. He stated his position loudly and clearly.

That being said, I ought to note that gas prices are now officially lower than they were a year ago and the stock market is looking positive. Calm before the storm? Perhaps. This new presidency will bring change, and I think we'll all regret our collective decision to elect Barack Hussein Obama to head our once-great nation...

Shot in the Fannie Mae!

Where are they now?

Here is a quick look into 3 former Fannie Mae executives who helped bring down Wall Street.

Franklin Raines was a Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Fannie Mae. Raines was forced to retire from his position with Fannie Mae when auditing discovered severe irregulaties in Fannie Mae's accounting activities.

The Government filed suit against Raines when the depth of the accounting scandal became clear. http://housingdoom.com/2006/12/18/fannie-charges/. The Court ordered Raines to return $50 Million Dollars he received in bonuses based on the miss-stated Fannie Mae profits.

Tim Howard was the Chief Financial Officer of Fannie Mae. Howard "was a strong internal proponent of using accounting strategies that would ensure a "stable pattern of earnings" at Fannie. In everyday English - he was cooking the books. The Government Investigation determined that, "Chief Financial Officer, Tim Howard, failed to provide adequate oversight to key control and reporting functions within Fannie Mae."

Howard resigned under pressure in late 2004.

Jim Johnson - A former executive at Lehman Brothers and who was later forced from his position as Fannie Mae CEO. A look at the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight's May 2006 report on mismanagement and corruption inside Fannie Mae, and you'll see some interesting things about Johnson. Investigators found that Fannie Mae had hidden a substantial amount of Johnson's 1998 compensation from the public, reporting that it was between $6 million and $7 million when it fact it was $21 million."

Johnson is currently under investigation for taking illegal loans from Countrywide while serving as CEO of Fannie Mae.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

FRANKLIN RAINES?

Raines works for the Obama Campaign as Chief Economic Advisor

TIM HOWARD?

Howard is also a Chief Economic Advisor to Obama

JIM JOHNSON?

Johnson was hired as a Senior Obama Finance Advisor and was selected to run Obama's Vice Presidential Search Committee.

Obama claims he has the wherewithal to clean up the country's financial quagmire. One thing should be clear: his advisors have the expertise.

THEY MADE THE MESS IN THE FIRST PLACE!

Should we trust the men who tore Wall Street down to build the New Wall Street?

Obama promises change. How much more of the type of change he seems to promote can we as Americans afford?

Gas Prices - My Rant for the Day

Anyone notice besides me that gas is more than a dollar less than it was two months ago? Did you notice that it's still a dollar more than it was a year ago!!

Here's the kicker - oil prices are lower than they were a year ago!!

Look at this headline from Yahoo News:

Oil prices dive to one-year lows as stock markets slide

Fri Oct 10, 10:09 AM ET

LONDON (AFP) - Oil prices slumped Friday to one-year lows under 80 dollars per barrel, striking 75 dollars in London, amid a global equities meltdown that sparked fears over demand for energy, traders said.

Ten days ago, this headline appeared:

Iran wants more than $100 a barrel for oil

TEHRAN, Oct. 5 (UPI) -- A price for a barrel of crude oil that is below $100 is unacceptable, Iranian Oil Minister Gholam Hossein Nozari says.

The Iranian oil minister also said there currently is an oversupply of oil in the market by about 400,000 barrels per day, Fars News Agency reported Sunday.

"An oil price of less than $100 is unsuitable for anyone, either for producers or for consumers," Nozari told reporters at a gas export conference in Tehran Saturday.

Is he insane?

Oh, wait. Yes, he is. That's been proven time and again... But apparently he's not alone in the world.

Another Bleak Day on Wall Street

It's not getting any better on Wall Street these days. There's still a panic run for the back exits as investors are selling, selling, selling. Few are buying, and there are tens of thousands of people looking for alternative ways to keep food on their tables and gas in the vehicles. (At least gas prices have lowered! Silver linings do exist...)

I listened in last night on a conference call with Ken Rolfsness, mastermind behind the Show ME The Money System and the increasingly famous Show ME The Money Bus Tour with Danny Glover and Jack Zufelt. He mentioned new ad campaigns and increased activity at the Tour stops, and was brimming with excitement about the prospects of the Show ME The Money System. It's an answer to the needs of those droves of people who are grasping for solutions to their sudden losses and the dissipation of their retirement funds.

It makes good economic sense to invest in yourself in these tenuous times. Call me at 858-518-6666 or visit www.maxearnings.net to see how you can beat the system with the Show ME The Money System.

The SMTM Shipping and Receiving Business

The Show ME The Money Bus Tour rolls forward. It's in Northern California during the month of October and the response is such that they're having to slow the pace to allow more to attend.

The Tour is introducing prospective entrepreneurs to a new twist on an old concept: Shipping and Receiving. The Show ME The Money system that my partners Danny Glover, Jack Zufelt and Ken Rolfsness are promoting is all about Shipping and Receiving: Friendshipping, fellowshipping, partnershipping, relationshipping, even apprenticeshipping... and then we start receiving a steady income with residuals. It's pretty simple, really.

If you don't want to wait until the Tour hits your city to find out more, contact me. We'll talk about doing some Shipping and Receiving together.

Nose-Diving Economy

What is happening to our economy in the last few days? Look at this from the San Diego Union Tribune:

The financial crisis entered a potentially dangerous new phase yesterday when many credit markets stopped working normally as investors around the world frantically moved their money into the safest investments, such as Treasury bills.

As a result, the cost of borrowing soared for many companies, while the stocks of Wall Street firms such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley – which only a couple of weeks ago were considered relatively strong – came under assault by waves of selling.

Investors were so worried that they snapped up three-month Treasury bills with virtually no yield, and they pushed gold to its biggest one-day gain in nine years. Major stock indexes fell more than 4 percent.

The stunning flight to safety, away from other kinds of debt as well as stocks, could cause serious damage to an already weakened economy by making it more expensive for businesses to finance their day-to-day operations.

When supposedly stable Fortune 500 companies are struggling, what does it mean for the rest of us? It means we need to pick ourselves up by the bootstraps, take a deep breath, and throw out hat in the ring with determination to be a part of the recovery, not the gang's rush to the door!

I've experienced a surge in hits to my Show Me The Money Bus Tour site at the same time the economy is diving. What does that tell you? It tells you that now is the time to get involved!

I'll give you two reasons:

1) With the rush to the door, many are finding that "the door" is a home-based business for supplemental income

2) The Show Me The Money Bus Tour is picking up steam. As I mentioned in my last post here, Ken Rolfsness and his advertizing team (including multi-millionaire advertizing expert Norm Alvis) are amping up the ad campaign and are poised for a wave of new business owners to join the team. Norm Alvis anticipates the numbers could be in the millions! The earlier you get involved, the more of those business owners will be part of your team!

Show ME The Money Bus Tour - Update

Here's an excerpt from a communication by Ken Rolfsness concerning the progress of the Show ME The Money Bus Tour:

We have nearly tripled the ads and have started radio ads, newspaper ads, and have a HUGE ad in the #1 Network Marketing lifestyle Magazine. (Coming out today, the 15th of Sept.) Great news! We are already having people calling within the first hour of its release with positive responses to this ad. New TV ads are currently being created and should be available soon. As soon as we get it, we will begin testing it.

In the meantime, the bus will travel to the Hilton in Orange County/Costa Mesa for Friday Sept. 19th at 7pm. Mr. Danny Glover will be there. We then head to Sacramento on the 27th of September and San Francisco Area on October 4th, by then the new ads will be fully in place. Then we will continue to test, test and re-test the radio and TV ads to make sure that they are going to pull as needed.

It's picking up steam and promises to make a lot of people very wealthly! Get on the bus!

What Alaskans Think of Sarah Palin

The following is something of a change of pace for this blog, but I can't help but post this e-mail I received. It's written by Butch King, owner of the Wildman Lake Lodge who has had close ties to the Alaskan legislature for around 30 years. He and his wife know Alaska politics.

Here is what Alaskans think of Sarah Palin:

Fishing is good here at Wildman and I rarely have time for politics, but many of our friends are asking us 'Who is Sarah Palin?' Of course, as Alaskans, Kathy and I are extremely proud of her. We just want to let you know that Sarah 'Barracuda' Palin is a straight shooting, hard charging, get it done gal. She knows when to listen, how to analyze the facts and how to make a decision, then implement the plan. She doesn't do a poll before jumping in with both feet like too many of the Washington types. She has little legislative experience because she has always held the EXECUTIVE position; in private life, as mayor of Anchorage 's largest bedroom community or more recently as Governor of our State. She is a smart, attractive home grown Alaska girl with excellent moral and family values. She can see what needs to be done and does not hesitate to get it done.

One of our State's major problems is that its Capital is in Juneau , 500 miles from the nearest road and 800 air miles from the population base which is Anchorage, Wasilla and Fairbanks. Our legislature and most of the State government is in Juneau and they ALL behave like a bunch of freshmen in a college town. It has been this way since Statehood in 1959. When Sarah moved to Juneau, so did accountability and responsibility. When the oil revenue started flowing and a barrel of North Slope Crude hit $23.00, these people began spending money like drunken sailors. You can only imagine what was happening when oil hit $100.00 a barrel, about the time Sarah took command. My wife Kathy has first-hand experience with this fiasco, as her father and also her ex-husband were Alaska Legislators who served in Juneau as Senators, Senate President, or members of the State House for a combined period spanning nearly three decades.

About the time Sarah took the HELM as Governor of Alaska, about half of the State legislature was in the pocket of big oil companies or contractors doing big projects for Native Corporations around Alaska , all funded by State oil revenue. Alaska government was nothing but a good old boys club riding the perpetual wave of prosperity. This filtered down from the legislature, through the Department of Natural Resources, Department of Labor and even spilled in to the Public Safety who are supposed to 'preserve and protect'.

When Sarah walked into the Governor's Mansion, she promptly dismissed the State Trooper detachment assigned to Governor and had her and her husband's gun case brought in from Wasilla. Then, she got rid of the former Governor's STATE Jet and told legislators that there were no more free rides, they would have to fly Alaska Airlines, just like her and her family if they wanted to travel. Next came the nut cutting (the Barracuda part) the heads that rolled were too numerous to name, but when Sarah finished cleaning house, a number of our legislators ended up in jail for on corruption charges, or tendered their resignations along with numerous department heads and those who have been riding the gravy train for way too long, AND THEN SHE HAD LUNCH. By the end of the day, Sarah Palin had saved the people of Alaska millions and has not yet slowed down.

She has truly brought CHANGE to Juneau . I personally know several persons in the private sector in Alaska , that hold her in high esteem. She surrounds herself with smart people, many from my hometown of Anchorage, she listens to them but makes her own decisions. Sarah Palin is a no B.S. politician. It is refreshing that there is such a thing anymore. You want to talk about CHANGE? You should see a before and after picture of the State government in Alaska . That's CHANGE! Sarah will bring a number of things to the election. I am sure she will appeal many voters who my otherwise could have gone the other direction on election day. The conservative block will not be for Barack. We have their vote. We need what Sarah will bring, first to the election and second, what she will bring to Washington D.C. McCain has been advised well, Let's just hope the American people can get the straight scoop on her in the weeks ahead. This is just the opinion of one Alaska Bush Pilot and Guide, who pays attention to national politics, watches the news and is deathly afraid of the direction our nation is headed. I guarantee that if Sarah gets a chance to dig her spurs into the flanks of the liberal Washington types, they will know that she is in the saddle.

Jack Zufelt's "DNA of Success"

Does this sound familiar?

"How many times have you tried a product, plan, program or prescribed remedy for a period of time without experiencing the success promised? When we don't achieve the promised success, we often begin to doubt ourselves. We think we don't have what it takes, that there is something wrong with us. Worse yet, we may see ourselves as failures.

"Then what do we do? Far too often we jump back in and reapply ourselves to the same techniques that failed us before - only this time we 'try harder.' We keep repeating this cycle. We remain stuck in a continuous, self-defeating cycle of effort, then failure, because we embrace a paradigm of success that simply doesn't work." (Jack Zufelt, The DNA of Success p 14)

Olympics? What Olympics?

The Beijing Olympic Games are well underway, and I've seen about 20 minutes of it. I'd hoped to watch more, but there just isn't time enough in a day to spend with kids home from college and sitting down for a family meal, taking care of Church responsibilities... And of course there's the little bit of work I have to do. Not much, mind you - remember, I'm quitting work. Log on to www.maxearnings.net to see why "work" isn't part of my routine. Still, I kinda wanted to see more of the Olympics.

It's become a symbol: 9/11. We all know what it means, but do we always remember it real significance?

Will Obama Raise Taxes - And Do I Care?

Barack Obama has intimated that he'll raise taxes. If he wins the election, and if he does actually raise taxes and if gas prices keep going up and if the economy in general just keeps taking a nose dive, how is that going to affect me?

Not at all! You see, I'm plugged into a marketing plan that's virtually immune to economic trends. It's growing regardless, and will continue to grow. In fact, if Obama defeats McCain and jacks our taxes up, it could HELP this business because people everywhere will be (as they already are) clamoring for ways to supplement their income.

Take a close look at this site and see one of the reasons. When stuff this great gets given away for free, times can't be that hard.

Forget Barack Obama and his threats (or promises, as your perspective may dictate). No matter what Obama does (or McCain, for that matter), it can only help!

New Website!!

I've got a new site for you to peruse, more great stuff to look at, and the site will continue to expand and grow and offer more and more ways to help your business succeed. Take a look at www.maxearnings.net. It could bring your home business to new levels!

Which is better: $10 or $1000?

Simple question: Would you want make 100 sales to create a $1,000 monthly income, or would you want to make just one?

The answer is completely obvious, I hope. Of course you would only want to have to make one sale.

This is why I have fallen in love with "big ticket" compensation plans.

If I cannot make close to $1,000 or more at a time from an opportunity, I move on.

Here is a fact that most will not tell you but that is absolutely 100% true: It takes the same amount of effort to create a $10 sale as it does to create a $1,000 sale.

So all work being the same, why would you not want to rake in $1,000 instead of $10?
The "big ticket" opportunity that's making $1000.00 or $1500.00 at a time on 100% autopilot for thousands of entrepreneurs like yourself is www.maxincome.us.

So, if an opportunity does not pay you big commissions, you have to ask yourself… "what was I thinking?"

Getting Leads for No $$

Do you know the difference between EDC and all the rest of these so called High End programs out there?

Most of them are all explained here: www.maxearnings.net

The major difference in my humble opinion has to be in the fact that we don't spend a small fortune in advertising. As a matter of fact personally I get most of my sales from free reverse marketing.

Once you're part of my team you will learn how to do the same, making sales without spending a dime in internet advertising.

Can you see the potential here?

Let's Get Started!

Hello World!




The purpose of this blog is to share some things with you that could potentially change your financial future. Whether you're currently a novice marketer or an experienced money-maker, I'm sure the things I have to share will be of interest to you.




I'll be posting some Internet advertising methods that hopefully will help your promotion efforts.

Today I'm going to concentrate on Safelists and why they no longer work.

A Safelist is a group of people who agree to receive emails from each other. They do this in order to get their opportunity out to others.

At the beginning this was a pretty good idea as there weren't that many people subscribed to each list so the number of emails they received was minimal.

That made it so that reading each one was not a problem.

Today, things are much different. The Safelists have become so large, as you may have found out for yourself, that joining one leaves you open to receiving hundreds if not thousands of emails from each list.

The impossibility of reading all those emails necessitates setting up filters to automatically trash the incoming mail from these lists.

The end result: They never even see your ad, much less read it.




Here’s your alternative: www.maxearnings.net




I have learned so much from this site that my on line marketing efforts are finally producing the kind of results I thought I would get when I first started posting my FREE Classifieds, FFA's and joining one Safelist after another.




You will find things that will surprise you.




Sound too good to be true? Really, that's up to you. The only promise I'm going to make you is this: If you follow the principals of what this site teaches you will see a substantial improvement in your on line selling.




If you've not had success up until now then you at least owe it to yourself to check out what this site has to say. Worst case scenario is you come away from the site feeling like you've wasted 10 minutes of your time.




But you may just feel like you've come away from it with the tools you need to finally make an honest living on the Internet.




Again, if you have any questions at all you can email me or call me at home. I'd love to talk to you and tell you how my life has changed because I finally know what works and what doesn't. You can also be my guest in one of the daily training sessions. Just give me a call and I'll give you the link and password.




Until next time, good luck with your on line sales.
