Any comment or complaint regarding Freight88/Shannon Steed AFTER November 15th, 2009 are BOGUS. As of 11-15-2009, Shannon Steed has had no association with Freight88. If you posted a complaint after that date, you are posting to see your own *** in writing, and not posting a valid complaint.

Feel free to call me if you have any questions.

Shannon builds a company, ruins the name by scamming people out of money, sells the company, starts a new company with a whole new fresh name, then solicits his old customer base feeding on the fact that the previous company has a bad reputation, a reputation that he alone created. Isn't there a violation of business ethics somewhere in there?

Not to mention a total disregard of morals. As an insider of how he runs his companies, i have seen this first hand.

most of the complaints against shanon steede and freight88 were from prior to him selling the company. the sale in no way releases him from the valid complaints.

he has been the orchestator of well thought out scams, bankruptcy fraud and child support issues. he has been running from state to state for the last 8 years, never staying put for more than a couple of years. with his recent move to florida we believe that he is moving more frequently to evade prosecution. we also have recently seen his stuff going into storage and beleive he is getting ready to run again.

after watching his most recent actions it appears he will be traveling the country to try and stay one step ahead but we will stay close enough behind as not to be noticed but will also be compiling a detailed list of his comings and goings in addition to copies of reciepts from motels, hotels and/or campgrounds he shall stay at even if he pays cash. unless people start coming forward to follow through with their complaints then we cannot prosecute. most people that have been scammed by shannon just chalk it up as a loss and move on but we want to assure you that we are here to help. without the proof you have that you have been screwed then we have nothing.

as soon as formal complaints start rolling in then we will nab him and bring him in. any compalints and cotact info should be posted here and you should also file your complaints with the better business bureau. also if these scams were ushered across state lines then you should definately contact the fbi and it then becomes a federal offense.

please help us to put an end to shannon and his scams. the most recent company name that he is working under is 'freightpad'

Problems with shipments are not freight88s fault they are the booking agent nothing more. I have used them for the last 9 months or so and never had a problem.

Guest

guess you should have educated yourself about the product you bought. your business will suffer because of the bad business that shannon did.

that is why he sells his companies after a few years. next time you invest in something try googleing it.

Guest

Whoever 'mehe' is, has no clue to what they are talking about. Shannon Steede sold Freight88 over a year ago. Whatever issues this person has with Freight88, they are with the old owner, who has had absolutely nothing to do with Freight88 since 2009.

Take the three minutes to read this.

David Kaiser is a respected historian whose published works have covered a broad range of topics, from European Warfare to American League Baseball. Born in 1947, the son of a diplomat, Kaiser spent his childhood in three capital cities: Washington D.C. , Albany , New York , and Dakar , Senegal . He attended Harvard University , graduating there in 1969 with a B.A. in history. He then spent several years more at Harvard, gaining a PhD in history, which he obtained in 1976. He served in the Army Reserve from 1970 to 1976.

He is a professor in the Strategy and Policy Department of the United States Naval War College. He has previously taught at Carnegie Mellon, Williams College and Harvard University . Kaiser's latest book, The Road to Dallas, about the Kennedy assassination, was just published by Harvard University Press.

Dr. David Kaiser

History Unfolding

I am a student of history. Professionally, I have written 15 books on history that have been published in six languages, and I have studied history all my life. I have come to think there is something monumentally large afoot, and I do not believe it is simply a banking crisis, or a mortgage crisis, or a credit crisis. Yes these exist, but they are merely single facets on a very large gemstone that is only now coming into a sharper focus.

Something of historic proportions is happening. I can sense it because I know how it feels, smells, what it looks like, and how people react to it. Yes, a perfect storm may be brewing, but there is something happening within our country that has been evolving for about ten to fifteen years. The pace has dramatically quickened in the past two.

We demand and then codify into law the requirement that our banks make massive loans to people we know they can never pay back? Why?

We learned just days ago that the Federal Reserve, which has little or no real oversight by anyone, has "loaned" two trillion dollars (that is $2,000,000,000,000) over the past few months, but will not tell us to whom or why or disclose the terms. That is our money. Yours and mine. And that is three times the $700 billion we all argued about so strenuously just this past September. Who has this money? Why do they have it? Why are the terms unavailable to us? Who asked for it? Who authorized it? I thought this was a government of "we the people," who loaned our powers to our elected leaders. Apparently not.

We have spent two or more decades intentionally de-industrializing our economy.. Why?

We have intentionally dumbed down our schools, ignored our history, and no longer teach our founding documents, why we are exceptional, and why we are worth preserving. Students by and large cannot write, think critically, read, or articulate. Parents are not revolting, teachers are not picketing, school boards continue to back mediocrity. Why?

We have now established the precedent of protesting every close election (violently in California over a proposition that is so controversial that it simply wants marriage to remain defined as between one man and one woman. Did you ever think such a thing possible just a decade ago?) We have corrupted our sacred political process by allowing unelected judges to write laws that radically change our way of life, and then mainstream Marxist groups like ACORN and others to turn our voting system into a banana republic. To what purpose?

Now our mortgage industry is collapsing, housing prices are in free fall, major industries are failing, our banking system is on the *** of collapse, social security is nearly bankrupt, as is Medicare and our entire government. Our education system is worse than a joke (I teach college and I know precisely what I am talking about) - the list is staggering in its length, breadth, and depth.. It is potentially 1929 x ten! And we are at war with an enemy we cannot even name for fear of offending people of the same religion, who, in turn, cannot wait to slit the throats of your children if they have the opportunity to do so.

And finally, we have elected a man that no one really knows anything about, who has never run so much as a Dairy Queen, let alone a town as big as Wasilla , Alaska . All of his associations and alliances are with real radicals in their chosen fields of employment, and everything we learn about him, drip by drip, is unsettling if not downright scary (Surely you have heard him speak about his idea to create and fund a mandatory civilian defense force stronger than our military for use inside our borders? No? Oh, of course. The media would never play that for you over and over and then demand he answer it. Sarah Palin's pregnant daughter and $150,000 wardrobe are more important.)

Mr. Obama's winning platform can be boiled down to one word: Change. Why?

I have never been so afraid for my country and for my children as I am now.

This man campaigned on bringing people together, something he has never, ever done in his professional life. In my assessment, Obama will divide us along philosophical lines, push us apart, and then try to realign the pieces into a new and different power structure. Change is indeed coming. And when it comes, you will never see the same nation again.

And that is only the beginning..

As a serious student of history, I thought I would never come to experience what the ordinary, moral German must have felt in the mid-1930s. In those times, the "savior" was a former smooth-talking rabble-rouser from the streets, about whom the average German knew next to nothing. What they should have known was that he was associated with groups that shouted, shoved, and pushed around people with whom they disagreed; he edged his way onto the political stage through great oratory.

Conservative "losers" read it right now.

And there were the promises. Economic times were tough, people were losing jobs, and he was a great speaker. And he smiled and frowned and waved a lot. And people, even newspapers, were afraid to speak out for fear that his "brown shirts" would bully and beat them into submission. Which they did - regularly. And then, he was duly elected to office, while a full-throttled economic crisis bloomed at hand - the Great Depression. Slowly, but surely he seized the controls of government power, person by person, department by department, bureaucracy by bureaucracy. The children of German citizens were at first, encouraged to join a Youth Movement in his name where they were taught exactly what to think. Later, they were required to do so. No Jews of course,

How did he get people on his side? He did it by promising jobs to the jobless, money to the money-less, and rewards for the military-industrial complex. He did it by indoctrinating the children, advocating gun control, health care for all, better wages, better jobs, and promising to re-instill pride once again in the country, across Europe , and across the world. He did it with a compliant media - did you know that? And he did this all in the name of justice and .... . .. change. And the people surely got what they voted for.

If you think I am exaggerating, look it up. It's all there in the history books.

So read your history books. Many people of conscience objected in 1933 and were shouted down, called names, laughed at, and ridiculed. When Winston Churchill pointed out the obvious in the late 1930s while seated in the House of Lords in England (he was not yet Prime Minister), he was booed into his seat and called a crazy troublemaker. He was right, though. And the world came to regret that he was not listened to.

Do not forget that Germany was the most educated, the most cultured country in Europe . It was full of music, art, museums, hospitals, laboratories, and universities. And yet, in less than six years (a shorter time span than just two terms of the U. S. presidency) it was rounding up its own citizens, killing others, abrogating its laws, turning children against parents, and neighbors against neighbors.. All with the best of intentions, of course. The road to *** is paved with them.

As a practical thinker, one not overly prone to emotional decisions, I have a choice: I can either believe what the objective pieces of evidence tell me (even if they make me cringe with disgust); I can believe what history is shouting to me from across the chasm of seven decades; or I can hope I am wrong by closing my eyes, having another latte, and ignoring what is transpiring around me.

I choose to believe the evidence. No doubt some people will scoff at me, others laugh, or think I am foolish, naive, or both. To some degree, perhaps I am. But I have never been afraid to look people in the eye and tell them exactly what I believe---and why I believe it.

I pray I am wrong. I do not think I am. Perhaps the only hope is our vote in the next elections.

just verified through globaltranz that fairratefreight is affiliated with globaltranz but on a limited basis. i'm sure they would love to know that shannon peronally is involved with fairratefreight as they are getting ready to sever ties with him and freight88.

Guest

to mr fairratefreight:

we already know that you know shannon, so the only reason you would post that you are not affiliated with freight88 is if this were really shannon because shannon doesn't know about the phone conversation that was had with spector where he admitted to knowing shannon. so shannon, stop posting threads as fairratefreight.

oh yeah how 'bout them letters from the lawyer. walls are closing in aren't they.

Guest

Your not an agent with Globaltranz, we just called their corporate offices and they have no offices in South Carolina and nobody named Kim Carson (whom the numbers belong to) LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE

Guest

I am not a part of Freight88. I am an agent for GlobalTranz and if anyone would like to verify that, they can call me:864 328 **** or 864 367 ****

Whoever you are, you are a loser for dragging my name into your little charade.

hey buddybadabing, how do you know tyler is involved with freightpad?

Guest

Shannon has recently moved to Florida to continue his business in scamming. I have known him for a few years now and just recently realized what a *** he can be. Shame on me for not seeing it earlier.

Guest

Freightpad.com ripped me off!! I paid to have my vending machine shipped by Shannon and even bought his *** "insurance".

Needless to say my unit was destroyed and his insurance is USELESS. I checked into World Cargo Insurance, it is a business he made up out of the air that he works out of his garage!

Freight pad is the same deal, he has no business license to operate. When I got my credit card statement he billed be another $397.40 for "drayage" as he called it without my prior knowledge.

Shannon, Freightpad and world cargo insurance are a SCAM

Guest

Shannon Steede and Tyler Berthiume also run freightpad.com, worldcargoinsurance.com, wciins.com, and freight88.com. Mailing addresses for these companies are all PO boxes.

Please read the twitter accounts and google these companies to see how they do business.

Shannon steede/freight88

shannon steede recently posted the drivers license of buddy adkins on his website, freight88, for everyone to see. he states that in south carolina it is legal to post such a document, BUT, what he doesn't realize is that in many other states it is illegal and because the internet reaches far beyond south carolina state lines he has violated federal wire fraud laws. the federal authorities have already been notified and verified that he has comitted wire fraud. shannon steede for some reason doesn't think that laws apply to him. he is being charged by specor freight lawyers with slander and more information is being added to this case daily. he also drives without a drivers license. florida, massachusetts, north and south carolina have no license on file for him. WHY? because it has been revoked for non payment of child support for two other children that he has. hope your life is getting hectic now, shannon

Guest

He is also running fake insurance company under freightsurance.com and freightto.com. He used to scam people through shippinginsured.com it looks like its closed now and he opened new websites. He must be stopped from scamming people

Right now he's working for England Logistics going by the name Shannon Michael.

504 Monmouth st is the Municipal Building. I live down the street.

Guest

now why would buddie adkins, an employee of spector freight, be telling stories about the alleged fraud that they have commited? because it is not buddie adkins.

it is shannon steede of freight88. you see, he just can't leave well enough alone. that is why we are still compiling all the dirt we can on shannon. people like shannon don't change, they just morph into something different.

soon enough, though, we will see him resurface. and we will see him f!#* up again and we will be there to take him down.

Guest

Don't think we forgot about you Shannon. Now that I have been asked to keep abreast of you full time rest assured you will be brought to justice, as will any accomplice, friend or family member that chooses to turn the other cheek and allow you to live off all the wrong-doings that you have done.

Trying to live a religious life does not redeem you from your mistakes, coming to terms with them and making them right does.

justice will prevail and we will be attacking all your possessions (real estate, vehicles, contents of your house,etc) the ride is going to get rougher. don't think you are out of the woods yet

Guest

These guys are habitual liars. Dont believe anything they say. Best to avoid them and do not do business with them.

Guest

Ok ,well maybe I worded what they told me wrongly, but you get the gyst. To post someones drivers license over the net, which is considered electronic wire ( just like wiring the money using moneygram, etc), is illegal in 23 states because it contains pertinent information including a signature.

These words came from the FBI. If you wish to check with them on this you are more than welcome to ,but you will get the same answer I did,.....it's illegal

Guest

WIRE FRAUD - 18 USC 1343, makes it a Federal crime or offense for anyone to use interstate wire communications

facilities in carrying out a scheme to defraud.

A person can be found guilty of that offense only if all of the following facts are proved beyond a reasonable doubt:

First: That the person knowingly and willfully devised a scheme to defraud, or for obtaining money or property by means of false pretenses, representations or promises; and

Second: That the person knowingly transmitted or caused to be transmitted by wire in interstate commerce some sound for the purpose of executing the scheme to defraud.

It is not necessary that the Government prove all of the details concerning the precise nature and purpose of the scheme; or that the material transmitted by wire was itself false or fraudulent; or that the alleged scheme actually succeeded in defrauding anyone; or that the use of interstate wire communications facilities was intended as the specific or exclusive means of accomplishing the alleged fraud.

What must be proved is that the person knowingly and willfully devised or intended to devise a scheme to defraud; and that the use of the interstate wire communications facilities was closely related to the scheme because the person either wired something or caused it to be wired in interstate commerce in an attempt to execute or carry out the scheme.

To "cause" interstate wire facilities to be used is to do an act with knowledge that the use of the wires will follow in the ordinary course of business or where such use can reasonably be foreseen.

Each separate use of the interstate wire facilities in furtherance of a scheme to defraud constitutes a separate offense.

Freight88/shannon steede.......Buyer Beware

Shannon Steede and Freight88 are up to their old tricks once again. He is being charged with slander by Spector Freight. Bankruptcy court from Mass. is looking into possible fraud through his last bankruptcy. Child support enforcement in Mass. has revoked his license to drive because of $80k in arrears. It wouldn't surprise me if he didn't get rid of Freight88 and move out of Anderson, SC to start a new company name and a new secret life, ONCE AGAIN. You see, he has spent the last few years moving around trying to evade authorities. ALSO..............Anyone looking to possibly purchase Freight88, you better do your homework and check out all the complaints that go along with the name freight88 and the negative reputation that shall follow it around. In fact, knowing Shannon he would probably sell someone the business, then heavily solicite freight88's customers saying what a poor reputation they have and they should now do business with him and his new company. We will be watching you closely Shannon so make sure you always look over your shoulder before your next move.

did you also know that if you stare at the name 'shannon steede' and just bring your eyes out of focus it spells *** sucking pig.

Guest

Did you know:

A. That the words "race car

" spelled backward still spells "race car"?

B. That "eat" is the only word that if you take the 1st letter and move it to the last, it spells its past tense "ate"?

C. And have you noticed that if you rearrange the letters in "illegal immigrants" and add just a few more letters, it spells out: "Go home you free-loading, benefit-grabbing, kid-producing, violent, non-English speaking *** and take those other hairy-faced, sandal-wearing, bomb-making, goat-loving, raggedy-*** bastards with you"?

Guest

Shannon Steede you *** little geek

its not against the law to post a drivers

license i south Carolina on the but what about

the other 23 states that it is not legal Shannon steede you have been turned into

the federal authorities, you little geek

Guest

you know, when you just keep posting the same thread vai cut and paste it just shows the people on here that you have nothing to say. you think its clever but it has nothing to do with the conversation at hand.

does the fact that cuccumbers are green have anything to do with shannon being a dirtball? NO. does the fact that sesame seeds get stuck in your teeth when you eat a big mac have anything to do with shannon needing to stock up on soap-on-a-rope? NO.

does the fact that wet hair appears darker that dry hair have anything to do with shannon being a liar and a cheat? NO.

so you keep adding *** threads. it just makes you sound like a dumb*ss

How weird is that ???

Guest

shannon, shannon,shannon! don't try and shift the blame or redirect the attention.

everything that has been said about you on here has been backed with court documents(ie. bankrutcy court records and child support records) and letters from lawyers wanting to sue you for deformation if you don't stop ranting without any proof. in fact, you have not backed any of your accusations about spector freight or tyler sheff with any form of proof other than the "CHILDISH BANTER" that you accuse everyone else of. also, the thread just below this one (written by shannon but says tyler sheff) is an old thread that was just copied and pasted again.

what's the matter shannon, can't think of any more original remarks to spew out of that lying big mouth of yours. no matter what you say on here people .will believe the proof that they see before their eyes, not the unbacked accusation. fact is, the walls are going to be closing around you very soon, and i think you know this deep down inside. from my conversation with a nice man at kingdom hall in new york, it seems the elders are starting to get suspicious of you, not to mention some of your fellow brothers and sisters.

i'm surprised you haven't noticed how some of them look at you when you appear. or maybe you just don't know how to read a room.

does anyone have a new address for Shannon Steede? rumor has it he is now running to florida, email stalkercrusher@***.com if you know his whereabouts

Guest

i doubt it. even to this day he doesn't admit he owes anybody anything or that he did anything wrong.

you see,...he has what some might call 'the hitler complex'. he is above everyone else and the rules don't apply to him.

in fact, he spent some time in germany when he was in the service. he must have picked a few things up

He attacks vendors, customers, competitors and then makes up even more lies to cover his tracks. One can only imagine what he is teaching his young daughter. Will he abandon this child too as he has his other children? We shudder to think what Shannon Steede is capable of. Someday you will read about him killing someone in the news for certain.

Students by and large cannot write, think critically, read, or articulate. Parents are not revolting, teachers are not picketing, school boards continue to back mediocrity. Why?

We have now established the precedent of protesting every close election (violently in California over a proposition that is so controversial that it simply wants marriage to remain defined as between one man and one woman. Did you ever think such a thing possible just a decade ago?) We have corrupted our sacred political process by allowing unelected judges to write laws that radically change our way of life, and then mainstream Marxist groups like ACORN and others to turn our voting system into a banana republic. To what purpose?

Now our mortgage industry is collapsing, housing prices are in free fall, major industries are failing, our banking system is on the *** of collapse, social security is nearly bankrupt, as is Medicare and our entire government. Our education system is worse than a joke (I teach college and I know precisely what I am talking about) - the list is staggering in its length, breadth, and depth.. It is potentially 1929 x ten! And we are at war with an enemy we cannot even name for fear of offending people of the same religion, who, in turn, cannot wait to slit the throats of your children if they have the opportunity to do so.

And finally, we have elected a man that no one really knows anything about, who has never run so much as a Dairy Queen, let alone a town as big as Wasilla , Alaska . All of his associations and alliances are with real radicals in their chosen fields of employment, and everything we learn about him, drip by drip, is unsettling if not downright scary (Surely you have heard him speak about his idea to create and fund a mandatory civilian defense force stronger than our military for use inside our borders? No? Oh, of course. The media would never play that for you over and over and then demand he answer it. Sarah Palin's pregnant daughter and $150,000 wardrobe are more important.)

Mr. Obama's winning platform can be boiled down to one word: Change. Why?

I have never been so afraid for my country and for my children as I am now.

This man campaigned on bringing people together, something he has never, ever done in his professional life. In my assessment, Obama will divide us along philosophical lines, push us apart, and then try to realign the pieces into a new and different power structure. Change is indeed coming. And when it comes, you will never see the same nation again.

And that is only the beginning..

As a serious student of history, I thought I would never come to experience what the ordinary, moral German must have felt in the mid-1930s. In those times, the "savior" was a former smooth-talking rabble-rouser from the streets, about whom the average German knew next to nothing. What they should have known was that he was associated with groups that shouted, shoved, and pushed around people with whom they disagreed; he edged his way onto the political stage through great oratory.

Conservative "losers" read it right now.

And there were the promises. Economic times were tough, people were losing jobs, and he was a great speaker. And he smiled and frowned and waved a lot. And people, even newspapers, were afraid to speak out for fear that his "brown shirts" would bully and beat them into submission. Which they did - regularly. And then, he was duly elected to office, while a full-throttled economic crisis bloomed at hand - the Great Depression. Slowly, but surely he seized the controls of government power, person by person, department by department, bureaucracy by bureaucracy. The children of German citizens were at first, encouraged to join a Youth Movement in his name where they were taught exactly what to think. Later, they were required to do so. No Jews of course,

How did he get people on his side? He did it by promising jobs to the jobless, money to the money-less, and rewards for the military-industrial complex. He did it by indoctrinating the children, advocating gun control, health care for all, better wages, better jobs, and promising to re-instill pride once again in the country, across Europe , and across the world. He did it with a compliant media - did you know that? And he did this all in the name of justice and .... . .. change. And the people surely got what they voted for.

If you think I am exaggerating, look it up. It's all there in the history books.

So read your history books. Many people of conscience objected in 1933 and were shouted down, called names, laughed at, and ridiculed. When Winston Churchill pointed out the obvious in the late 1930s while seated in the House of Lords in England (he was not yet Prime Minister), he was booed into his seat and called a crazy troublemaker. He was right, though. And the world came to regret that he was not listened to.

Do not forget that Germany was the most educated, the most cultured country in Europe . It was full of music, art, museums, hospitals, laboratories, and universities. And yet, in less than six years (a shorter time span than just two terms of the U. S. presidency) it was rounding up its own citizens, killing others, abrogating its laws, turning children against parents, and neighbors against neighbors.. All with the best of intentions, of course. The road to *** is paved with them.

As a practical thinker, one not overly prone to emotional decisions, I have a choice: I can either believe what the objective pieces of evidence tell me (even if they make me cringe with disgust); I can believe what history is shouting to me from across the chasm of seven decades; or I can hope I am wrong by closing my eyes, having another latte, and ignoring what is transpiring around me.

I choose to believe the evidence. No doubt some people will scoff at me, others laugh, or think I am foolish, naive, or both. To some degree, perhaps I am. But I have never been afraid to look people in the eye and tell them exactly what I believe---and why I believe it.

I pray I am wrong. I do not think I am. Perhaps the only hope is our vote in the next elections.

Rhonda M. Steede ) Chapter 13

) Case No. 06-13431-RS

Debtors )

______________________________)

OBJECTION TO CONFIRMATION OF THE DEBTORS’ CHAPTER 13 PLAN BY

THE MASSACHUSETTS DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE

CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT DIVISION

Now comes the priority creditor Massachusetts Department of Revenue, Child

Support Enforcement Division (“MDOR/CSE”) and hereby objects to Confirmation of

the Debtors’ Chapter 13 Plan. In support of this Objection MDOR/CSE states as follows:

1. The Debtors filed an original petition under Chapter 13 of the Bankruptcy

Code on September 29, 2006.

2. The Debtor, Shannon Steede, is obligated to pay domestic support

obligations to two different custodial parents pursuant to court orders

entered by Courts in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

3. The custodial parents applied for Child Support Services in Massachusetts

and the Massachusetts Legislature has designated MDOR/CSE as “the

single state agency within the commonwealth that is designated the IV-D

agency pursuant to Title IV, Part D of the Social Security Act [42 U.S.C.

§§ 651 et seq.] . . .” M.G.L. c. 119A, § 1 and, therefore, MDOR/CSE is

charged with collecting the domestic support obligations owed by the

Debtor, Shannon Steede.

4. The Debtors’ Chapter 13 Plan lists MDOR/CSE as a priority creditor and

is inconsistent in that it states “$50,000 to be paid through the plan” and

then only provides for $40,000 in payments.

5. MDOR/CSE is the only creditor listed in the Debtors’ Chapter 13 Plan and

the Debtors listed general unsecured claims as “$0.00.”

6. The Debtors’ did not properly serve MDOR/CSE with a copy of the

Chapter 13 plan and instead only served MDOR tax division.

7. On November 30, 2006, MDOR/CSE filed a Proof of Claim in the amount

of $39,675.93 for the pre-petition domestic support obligation owed by the

Debtor, Shannon Steede, to Kimberly Steede and the Department of

Transitional Assistance.

8. On November 30, 2006, MDOR/CSE filed a Proof of Claim in the amount

of $41,623.27 for the pre-petition domestic support obligation owed by the

Debtor, Shannon Steede, to Sheila O’Brien and the Department of

Transitional Assistance.

9. The Debtors’ Schedule J provides for a payment in the amount of $322.50

for a domestic support obligation. MDOR/CSE is not receiving any

monthly payments from the Debtors.

10. The Debtor, Shannon Steede, does not have a current monthly domestic

support obligation and instead all of the monies owed are arrears under

previously entered court orders.

11. Since the Debtor, Shannon Steede, does not have a current monthly

domestic support obligation, the $322.50 payment listed on Schedule J,

which is currently not being paid, should be devoted to payment of the

Chapter 13 Plan.

12. The Debtor’s Chapter 13 Plan cannot be confirmed because it violates 11

U.S.C. § 1322 in that it does not provide for payment in full of the prepetition

domestic support obligations owed by the Debtor, Shannon

Steede.

WHEREFORE, the Massachusetts Department of Revenue, Child Support

Enforcement Division prays that this Honorable Court:

1. Sustain MDOR/CSE’s objection;

2. Enter an Order denying confirmation of the Debtors’ Chapter 13

Plan;

3. In the alternative, issue an Order directing the Debtors to file an

Amended Chapter 13 Plan providing for payment in full of all

priority claims being enforced by MDOR/CSE;

4. For such other and further relief as this Court deems just and

proper.

This is getting funny. I know that most grown up people will not fall for this childish banter from someone who is full of hot air.

Maybe now I am a Nazi or a sleeper cell. "JS to Sparrow, come in Sparrow, we have the LZ in our sights, fire for effect over" LMBO :grin :grin :grin :grin

How about a drug smuggler showing my daughter how to fly helicopers with night vision goggles.

Keep it up, this is very entertaining! I pity you and your sad life. Thanks for the chuckles! :grin

is shannon steede trying to steer away from freight88 and hide under a different company name. i do believe that is exactly what he is doing.

fairratefreight.com is listed with a contact name of j.s. which is the name of the man that shannon has evidently taken under his wing to show him the business. j.s. is also a jehovah's witness but is, i'm sure, unaware of the goings on here.

you see shannon collects monies but pays j.s. on a commision basis. this allows him to continue his shady deals as a so called silent boss.. but with the contact name and address listed, this makes it untraceable to shannon, or so he thinks, but obviously someone else on here already has the info on his new website ties.

how can that be shannon? have you not covered all your tracks? is there an enemy amongst you? is someone from your past keeping an eye on you?

look around?

paranoid yet? i hope so because i am the one that will continue to keep your feet to the fire!!!

oh yeah, and when you continue to copy and paste the same thread over and over again and not address the accusations that are before you it just makes you look even more guilty than you are.

Freight88.com Shannon Steede Scammer Jehovahs Witness Scam

This just in, Shannon Steede, the well known scammer owner of Freight88.com has been recently baptized as a Jehovah's Witness. A fully documented file outlining all of Shannon Steede's scams and thefts is being sent to his Kingdom Hall and the Watchtower Society headquarters. Hopefully the Jehovah's Witnesses will put a stop to Shannon Steede scams, otherwise we will include them in our lawsuit for aiding and abetting a known criminal. Shannon Steede first scams hundreds of people, now he has scammed the good people of god and Jehovah himself. It seems Shannon Steede and Freight88 will go to great lengths to violate trust and integrity. Will the elders in his Kingdom Hall steer him to righteousness? Will they stop him from lies and scams? Only time will tell. One thing for sure, if they do nothing to stop him from lies and scams, they to will be suspect along with Shannon Steede

nice try......don't try to fill the forum up with junk to divert from the truth. people don't mind scrolling down some to get to the truth, shannon.

you are a ***, a liar, a cheat and a poor excuse for a father and a husband. you lie to your clients, you lie to the courts and you most likely lie to your family. does your daughter know what a poor excuse for a father you are to your other 2 children. i hope your life is falling apart at the seams and if it isn't now, it will be.

i promise you that. we are getting close to judgement day. we are watching you closely.

we know where you go and when you go. you are starting to make *** mistakes and we are documenting them all.suspicious eyes are all around you.

He attended Harvard University , graduating there in 1969 with a B.A. in history. He then spent several years more at Harvard, gaining a PhD in history, which he obtained in 1976. He served in the Army Reserve from 1970 to 1976.

Kaiser's latest book, The Road to Dallas, about the Kennedy assassination, was just published by Harvard University Press.

Dr. David Kaiser

History Unfolding

I am a student of history. Professionally, I have written 15 books on history that have been published in six languages, and I have studied history all my life. I have come to think there is something monumentally large afoot, and I do not believe it is simply a banking crisis, or a mortgage crisis, or a credit crisis. Yes these exist, but they are merely single facets on a very large gemstone that is only now coming into a sharper focus.

Something of historic proportions is happening. I can sense it because I know how it feels, smells, what it looks like, and how people react to it. Yes, a perfect storm may be brewing, but there is something happening within our country that has been evolving for about ten to fifteen years. The pace has dramatically quickened in the past two.

We demand and then codify into law the requirement that our banks make massive loans to people we know they can never pay back? Why?

We learned just days ago that the Federal Reserve, which has little or no real oversight by anyone, has "loaned" two trillion dollars (that is $2,000,000,000,000) over the past few months, but will not tell us to whom or why or disclose the terms. That is our money. Yours and mine. And that is three times the $700 billion we all argued about so strenuously just this past September. Who has this money? Why do they have it? Why are the terms unavailable to us? Who asked for it? Who authorized it? I thought this was a government of "we the people," who loaned our powers to our elected leaders. Apparently not.

We have spent two or more decades intentionally de-industrializing our economy.. Why?

We have intentionally dumbed down our schools, ignored our history, and no longer teach our founding documents, why we are exceptional, and why we are worth preserving. Students by and large cannot write, think critically, read, or articulate. Parents are not revolting, teachers are not picketing, school boards continue to back mediocrity. Why?

We have now established the precedent of protesting every close election (violently in California over a proposition that is so controversial that it simply wants marriage to remain defined as between one man and one woman. Did you ever think such a thing possible just a decade ago?) We have corrupted our sacred political process by allowing unelected judges to write laws that radically change our way of life, and then mainstream Marxist groups like ACORN and others to turn our voting system into a banana republic. To what purpose?

Now our mortgage industry is collapsing, housing prices are in free fall, major industries are failing, our banking system is on the *** of collapse, social security is nearly bankrupt, as is Medicare and our entire government. Our education system is worse than a joke (I teach college and I know precisely what I am talking about) - the list is staggering in its length, breadth, and depth.. It is potentially 1929 x ten! And we are at war with an enemy we cannot even name for fear of offending people of the same religion, who, in turn, cannot wait to slit the throats of your children if they have the opportunity to do so.

And finally, we have elected a man that no one really knows anything about, who has never run so much as a Dairy Queen, let alone a town as big as Wasilla , Alaska . All of his associations and alliances are with real radicals in their chosen fields of employment, and everything we learn about him, drip by drip, is unsettling if not downright scary (Surely you have heard him speak about his idea to create and fund a mandatory civilian defense force stronger than our military for use inside our borders?

nobody cares about david keiser. the only reason this would even be on here is to deter from the real discussion at hand, which is shannon steede and his fraudulent, slanderous ways.

so who could have possibly posted the david keiser story?

well it had to have been shannon. loosen up that spincter muscle shannon, the end is near

Guest

Take the three minutes to read this.

David Kaiser is a respected historian whose published works have covered a broad range of topics, from European Warfare to American League Baseball. Born in 1947, the son of a diplomat, Kaiser spent his childhood in three capital cities: Washington D.C. , Albany , New York , and Dakar , Senegal . He attended Harvard University , graduating there in 1969 with a B.A. in history. He then spent several years more at Harvard, gaining a PhD in history, which he obtained in 1976. He served in the Army Reserve from 1970 to 1976.

He is a professor in the Strategy and Policy Department of the United States Naval War College. He has previously taught at Carnegie Mellon, Williams College and Harvard University . Kaiser's latest book, The Road to Dallas, about the Kennedy assassination, was just published by Harvard University Press.

Dr. David Kaiser

History Unfolding

I am a student of history. Professionally, I have written 15 books on history that have been published in six languages, and I have studied history all my life. I have come to think there is something monumentally large afoot, and I do not believe it is simply a banking crisis, or a mortgage crisis, or a credit crisis. Yes these exist, but they are merely single facets on a very large gemstone that is only now coming into a sharper focus.

Something of historic proportions is happening. I can sense it because I know how it feels, smells, what it looks like, and how people react to it. Yes, a perfect storm may be brewing, but there is something happening within our country that has been evolving for about ten to fifteen years. The pace has dramatically quickened in the past two.

We demand and then codify into law the requirement that our banks make massive loans to people we know they can never pay back? Why?

We learned just days ago that the Federal Reserve, which has little or no real oversight by anyone, has "loaned" two trillion dollars (that is $2,000,000,000,000) over the past few months, but will not tell us to whom or why or disclose the terms. That is our money. Yours and mine. And that is three times the $700 billion we all argued about so strenuously just this past September. Who has this money? Why do they have it? Why are the terms unavailable to us? Who asked for it? Who authorized it? I thought this was a government of "we the people," who loaned our powers to our elected leaders. Apparently not.

We have spent two or more decades intentionally de-industrializing our economy.. Why?

We have intentionally dumbed down our schools, ignored our history, and no longer teach our founding documents, why we are exceptional, and why we are worth preserving. Students by and large cannot write, think critically, read, or articulate. Parents are not revolting, teachers are not picketing, school boards continue to back mediocrity. Why?

We have now established the precedent of protesting every close election (violently in California over a proposition that is so controversial that it simply wants marriage to remain defined as between one man and one woman. Did you ever think such a thing possible just a decade ago?) We have corrupted our sacred political process by allowing unelected judges to write laws that radically change our way of life, and then mainstream Marxist groups like ACORN and others to turn our voting system into a banana republic. To what purpose?

Now our mortgage industry is collapsing, housing prices are in free fall, major industries are failing, our banking system is on the *** of collapse, social security is nearly bankrupt, as is Medicare and our entire government. Our education system is worse than a joke (I teach college and I know precisely what I am talking about) - the list is staggering in its length, breadth, and depth.. It is potentially 1929 x ten! And we are at war with an enemy we cannot even name for fear of offending people of the same religion, who, in turn, cannot wait to slit the throats of your children if they have the opportunity to do so.

And finally, we have elected a man that no one really knows anything about, who has never run so much as a Dairy Queen, let alone a town as big as Wasilla , Alaska . All of his associations and alliances are with real radicals in their chosen fields of employment, and everything we learn about him, drip by drip, is unsettling if not downright scary (Surely you have heard him speak about his idea to create and fund a mandatory civilian defense force stronger than our military for use inside our borders? No? Oh, of course. The media would never play that for you over and over and then demand he answer it. Sarah Palin's pregnant daughter and $150,000 wardrobe are more important.)

Mr. Obama's winning platform can be boiled down to one word: Change. Why?

I have never been so afraid for my country and for my children as I am now.

This man campaigned on bringing people together, something he has never, ever done in his professional life. In my assessment, Obama will divide us along philosophical lines, push us apart, and then try to realign the pieces into a new and different power structure. Change is indeed coming. And when it comes, you will never see the same nation again.

And that is only the beginning..

As a serious student of history, I thought I would never come to experience what the ordinary, moral German must have felt in the mid-1930s. In those times, the "savior" was a former smooth-talking rabble-rouser from the streets, about whom the average German knew next to nothing. What they should have known was that he was associated with groups that shouted, shoved, and pushed around people with whom they disagreed; he edged his way onto the political stage through great oratory.

Conservative "losers" read it right now.

And there were the promises. Economic times were tough, people were losing jobs, and he was a great speaker. And he smiled and frowned and waved a lot. And people, even newspapers, were afraid to speak out for fear that his "brown shirts" would bully and beat them into submission. Which they did - regularly. And then, he was duly elected to office, while a full-throttled economic crisis bloomed at hand - the Great Depression. Slowly, but surely he seized the controls of government power, person by person, department by department, bureaucracy by bureaucracy. The children of German citizens were at first, encouraged to join a Youth Movement in his name where they were taught exactly what to think. Later, they were required to do so. No Jews of course,

How did he get people on his side? He did it by promising jobs to the jobless, money to the money-less, and rewards for the military-industrial complex. He did it by indoctrinating the children, advocating gun control, health care for all, better wages, better jobs, and promising to re-instill pride once again in the country, across Europe , and across the world. He did it with a compliant media - did you know that? And he did this all in the name of justice and .... . .. change. And the people surely got what they voted for.

If you think I am exaggerating, look it up. It's all there in the history books.

So read your history books. Many people of conscience objected in 1933 and were shouted down, called names, laughed at, and ridiculed. When Winston Churchill pointed out the obvious in the late 1930s while seated in the House of Lords in England (he was not yet Prime Minister), he was booed into his seat and called a crazy troublemaker. He was right, though. And the world came to regret that he was not listened to.

Do not forget that Germany was the most educated, the most cultured country in Europe . It was full of music, art, museums, hospitals, laboratories, and universities. And yet, in less than six years (a shorter time span than just two terms of the U. S. presidency) it was rounding up its own citizens, killing others, abrogating its laws, turning children against parents, and neighbors against neighbors.. All with the best of intentions, of course. The road to *** is paved with them.

As a practical thinker, one not overly prone to emotional decisions, I have a choice: I can either believe what the objective pieces of evidence tell me (even if they make me cringe with disgust); I can believe what history is shouting to me from across the chasm of seven decades; or I can hope I am wrong by closing my eyes, having another latte, and ignoring what is transpiring around me.

I choose to believe the evidence. No doubt some people will scoff at me, others laugh, or think I am foolish, naive, or both. To some degree, perhaps I am. But I have never been afraid to look people in the eye and tell them exactly what I believe---and why I believe it.

I pray I am wrong. I do not think I am. Perhaps the only hope is our vote in the next elections.

bankruptcy isn't illegal but the fraudulent statements you made on your bankruptcy records are. thats why the bankruptcy board is investigating how you can claim bankruptcy then after only a few years have another business worth 6 figures.

also lets not forget the bmw, do you remember that.....we do you didn't have the money to pay creditors and clients but had plenty to start your life over.....how convenient. your wifes name is on the bankruptcy records too which makes her just as guilty. does she even know that she is just as liable as you for those fraudulent statements. does she even know of your continued BS.

i doubt that youv'e kept her abreast of all your sneaky maneuvers. not such a good hubby are we :cry .

whether you say she didn't know or she says she didn't know about any of the scams you pull, i doubt anyone will believe that she knew nothing. all they will see is a regular BONNIE AND CLYDE in action.

Guest

This is getting funny. I know that most grown up people will not fall for this childish banter from someone who is full of hot air.

Maybe now I am a Nazi or a sleeper cell. How about a drug smuggler showing my daughter how to fly helicopers with night vision goggles. Better call the cops I hear bankruptcy is illegal, lol

Keep it up, this is very entertaining! I pity you and your sad life. Thanks for the chuckles!

Since this is Johnny Bonanno of pector Freight Systems speading lies, and trying to discredit a religion is funny, childish and best of all, directing a large amount of traffic to our website.

Tying to discredit our excellent services and using a religion as a basis shows how desperate Johnny has gotten since his fraud scheme has been placed in the hands of the authorities.

Truth be told what state did he file bankruptcy also goodled shannon steede and freight 88 i see where everyone says the same as you. where do i go for verifacation how cam i give u my phone no

Guest

yes it is very true that he filed banckruptcy under his former business name 'anyfreight.com' and screwed many people out of thousands. in fact there are many threads on this website you can check out.

one has a long list of people he screwed. just google 'shannon steede' and you will find all the info you need to prosecute. he currently lives in anderson, sc and his address can be supplied to you if you want to give me an email to send it too. good luck.

it is amazing to me that he started another business immediately after filing bankruptcy and continues to screw people. he hides his money very well too through his spouse. i'm sure he even has the checks from freight88's mother company made out to her. you might wanna check that out.

i'm sure you can get on his website and find out who the agent is that makes out the paycheck. you see freight88 is a franchise type business. he is also $80k in arrears with his child support in massachusetts. they are in the process of looking for him.

he has already had his drivers license revoked so i am told by child support. do you have a phone number that i can contact you at?

Guest

Truth be told Is it really true he filed bankruptcy? he billed us for freight not del

anything you can tell us that is true so we can give to our lawyer to ad to our other complaints also I see he writes things about

other companies thats not true

Thanks for the laugh!

Guest

try taking some of your own advice shannon. discreditting another business is illegal, thats why youv'e gotten a letter from a lawyer about slander email to you.

saw the email online so you can't deny it. also you quote the sciptures but don't abide by them. THAT MAKES YOU A HYPOCRIT. you still don'tget it do you.

besides you've already admitted to your fraud on this site and then rub our faces in it that you'll never get caught. how pompous is that?

Guest

everyone simply needs to review the source code for fairratefreight.com it is littered with freight88.com html and programming. His rate engine goes directly to freight88.com but I am sure Shannon Steede will fix it now, we have adobe copies of the site prior to changes and will fax to anyone who wants to review them.

Guest

Thanks for the laugh! Whoever this poster is is so far from the truth it is funny.

We are only Freight88 and trying to discredit another business owner is not only poor business but illegal.

We suggest you grow up and stop trying to drag people down to your level or ***.

Freight88.com Shannon Steede Cyberstalker Scammer

Shannon Steede of Freight88.com cyberstalks his competition by spreading lies about them. Visit freight88.com and review his "news" section for proof. Instead of providing an honest service, he filed bankruptcy and jilted carriers of over $125,000 in bad debt as Anyfreight.com (check North Carolina bankrupcy records online) and shafted his carriers out of thier money. Now to gain business he spreads lies about his competitors in a lame attempt to gain business. The funny part is that this mindless ranting actually drives business to his competition. A sad little man Shannon Steede is who is currently hiding in Anderson South Carolina

Why are the terms unavailable to us? Who asked for it? Who authorized it? I thought this was a government of "we the people," who loaned our powers to our elected leaders. Apparently not.

We have spent two or more decades intentionally de-industrializing our economy.. Why?

We have intentionally dumbed down our schools, ignored our history, and no longer teach our founding documents, why we are exceptional, and why we are worth preserving. Students by and large cannot write, think critically, read, or articulate. Parents are not revolting, teachers are not picketing, school boards continue to back mediocrity. Why?

We have now established the precedent of protesting every close election (violently in California over a proposition that is so controversial that it simply wants marriage to remain defined as between one man and one woman. Did you ever think such a thing possible just a decade ago?) We have corrupted our sacred political process by allowing unelected judges to write laws that radically change our way of life, and then mainstream Marxist groups like ACORN and others to turn our voting system into a banana republic. To what purpose?

Now our mortgage industry is collapsing, housing prices are in free fall, major industries are failing, our banking system is on the *** of collapse, social security is nearly bankrupt, as is Medicare and our entire government. Our education system is worse than a joke (I teach college and I know precisely what I am talking about) - the list is staggering in its length, breadth, and depth.. It is potentially 1929 x ten! And we are at war with an enemy we cannot even name for fear of offending people of the same religion, who, in turn, cannot wait to slit the throats of your children if they have the opportunity to do so.

And finally, we have elected a man that no one really knows anything about, who has never run so much as a Dairy Queen, let alone a town as big as Wasilla , Alaska . All of his associations and alliances are with real radicals in their chosen fields of employment, and everything we learn about him, drip by drip, is unsettling if not downright scary (Surely you have heard him speak about his idea to create and fund a mandatory civilian defense force stronger than our military for use inside our borders? No? Oh, of course. The media would never play that for you over and over and then demand he answer it. Sarah Palin's pregnant daughter and $150,000 wardrobe are more important.)

Mr. Obama's winning platform can be boiled down to one word: Change. Why?

I have never been so afraid for my country and for my children as I am now.

This man campaigned on bringing people together, something he has never, ever done in his professional life. In my assessment, Obama will divide us along philosophical lines, push us apart, and then try to realign the pieces into a new and different power structure. Change is indeed coming. And when it comes, you will never see the same nation again.

And that is only the beginning..

As a serious student of history, I thought I would never come to experience what the ordinary, moral German must have felt in the mid-1930s. In those times, the "savior" was a former smooth-talking rabble-rouser from the streets, about whom the average German knew next to nothing. What they should have known was that he was associated with groups that shouted, shoved, and pushed around people with whom they disagreed; he edged his way onto the political stage through great oratory.

Conservative "losers" read it right now.

And there were the promises. Economic times were tough, people were losing jobs, and he was a great speaker. And he smiled and frowned and waved a lot. And people, even newspapers, were afraid to speak out for fear that his "brown shirts" would bully and beat them into submission. Which they did - regularly. And then, he was duly elected to office, while a full-throttled economic crisis bloomed at hand - the Great Depression. Slowly, but surely he seized the controls of government power, person by person, department by department, bureaucracy by bureaucracy. The children of German citizens were at first, encouraged to join a Youth Movement in his name where they were taught exactly what to think. Later, they were required to do so. No Jews of course,

How did he get people on his side? He did it by promising jobs to the jobless, money to the money-less, and rewards for the military-industrial complex. He did it by indoctrinating the children, advocating gun control, health care for all, better wages, better jobs, and promising to re-instill pride once again in the country, across Europe , and across the world. He did it with a compliant media - did you know that? And he did this all in the name of justice and .... . .. change. And the people surely got what they voted for.

If you think I am exaggerating, look it up. It's all there in the history books.

So read your history books. Many people of conscience objected in 1933 and were shouted down, called names, laughed at, and ridiculed. When Winston Churchill pointed out the obvious in the late 1930s while seated in the House of Lords in England (he was not yet Prime Minister), he was booed into his seat and called a crazy troublemaker. He was right, though. And the world came to regret that he was not listened to.

Do not forget that Germany was the most educated, the most cultured country in Europe . It was full of music, art, museums, hospitals, laboratories, and universities. And yet, in less than six years (a shorter time span than just two terms of the U. S. presidency) it was rounding up its own citizens, killing others, abrogating its laws, turning children against parents, and neighbors against neighbors.. All with the best of intentions, of course. The road to *** is paved with them.

As a practical thinker, one not overly prone to emotional decisions, I have a choice: I can either believe what the objective pieces of evidence tell me (even if they make me cringe with disgust); I can believe what history is shouting to me from across the chasm of seven decades; or I can hope I am wrong by closing my eyes, having another latte, and ignoring what is transpiring around me.

I choose to believe the evidence. No doubt some people will scoff at me, others laugh, or think I am foolish, naive, or both. To some degree, perhaps I am. But I have never been afraid to look people in the eye and tell them exactly what I believe---and why I believe it.

I pray I am wrong. I do not think I am. Perhaps the only hope is our vote in the next elections.

UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS (BOSTON)

IN RE: )

)

Shannon M. Steede )

Rhonda M. Steede ) Chapter 13

) Case No. 06-13431-RS

Debtors )

______________________________)

OBJECTION TO CONFIRMATION OF THE DEBTORS’ CHAPTER 13 PLAN BY

THE MASSACHUSETTS DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE

CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT DIVISION

Now comes the priority creditor Massachusetts Department of Revenue, Child

Support Enforcement Division (“MDOR/CSE”) and hereby objects to Confirmation of

the Debtors’ Chapter 13 Plan. In support of this Objection MDOR/CSE states as follows:

1. The Debtors filed an original petition under Chapter 13 of the Bankruptcy

Code on September 29, 2006.

2. The Debtor, Shannon Steede, is obligated to pay domestic support

obligations to two different custodial parents pursuant to court orders

entered by Courts in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

3. The custodial parents applied for Child Support Services in Massachusetts

and the Massachusetts Legislature has designated MDOR/CSE as “the

single state agency within the commonwealth that is designated the IV-D

agency pursuant to Title IV, Part D of the Social Security Act [42 U.S.C.

§§ 651 et seq.] . . .” M.G.L. c. 119A, § 1 and, therefore, MDOR/CSE is

charged with collecting the domestic support obligations owed by the

Debtor, Shannon Steede.

4. The Debtors’ Chapter 13 Plan lists MDOR/CSE as a priority creditor and

is inconsistent in that it states “$50,000 to be paid through the plan” and

then only provides for $40,000 in payments.

5. MDOR/CSE is the only creditor listed in the Debtors’ Chapter 13 Plan and

the Debtors listed general unsecured claims as “$0.00.”

6. The Debtors’ did not properly serve MDOR/CSE with a copy of the

Chapter 13 plan and instead only served MDOR tax division.

7. On November 30, 2006, MDOR/CSE filed a Proof of Claim in the amount

of $39,675.93 for the pre-petition domestic support obligation owed by the

Debtor, Shannon Steede, to Kimberly Steede and the Department of

Transitional Assistance.

8. On November 30, 2006, MDOR/CSE filed a Proof of Claim in the amount

of $41,623.27 for the pre-petition domestic support obligation owed by the

Debtor, Shannon Steede, to Sheila O’Brien and the Department of

Transitional Assistance.

9. The Debtors’ Schedule J provides for a payment in the amount of $322.50

for a domestic support obligation. MDOR/CSE is not receiving any

monthly payments from the Debtors.

10. The Debtor, Shannon Steede, does not have a current monthly domestic

support obligation and instead all of the monies owed are arrears under

previously entered court orders.

11. Since the Debtor, Shannon Steede, does not have a current monthly

domestic support obligation, the $322.50 payment listed on Schedule J,

which is currently not being paid, should be devoted to payment of the

Chapter 13 Plan.

12. The Debtor’s Chapter 13 Plan cannot be confirmed because it violates 11

U.S.C. § 1322 in that it does not provide for payment in full of the prepetition

domestic support obligations owed by the Debtor, Shannon

Steede.

WHEREFORE, the Massachusetts Department of Revenue, Child Support

Enforcement Division prays that this Honorable Court:

1. Sustain MDOR/CSE’s objection;

2. Enter an Order denying confirmation of the Debtors’ Chapter 13

Plan;

3. In the alternative, issue an Order directing the Debtors to file an

Amended Chapter 13 Plan providing for payment in full of all

priority claims being enforced by MDOR/CSE;

4. For such other and further relief as this Court deems just and

proper.

Since this is Johnny Bonanno of pector Freight Systems speading lies, and trying to discredit a religion is funny, childish and best of all, directing a large amount of traffic to our website. If anyone would like some history on the poster who is being investigated for online threats and check fraud and deadbeat of over $41,000 in freight bills, please give us a call. 866-944-**** Tying to discredit our excellent services and using a religion as a basis shows how desperate Johnny has gotten since his fraud scheme has been placed in the hands of the authorities.

Before WRIGHT and MacKINNON, Circuit Judges, and VAN PELT,* Senior District Judge.

J. SKELLY WRIGHT, Circuit Judge:

1

This class action involves allegations of racial discrimination against one of the nation's largest trucking firms, Spector Freight Systems, Inc., against one of the nation's most powerful unions, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen and Helpers of America, and against Teamsters Local 639 which represents drivers in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Northern Virginia. Appellant Macklin was a member of the local during the period when the discriminatory practices were alleged to have occurred. He still is. The International and the local are charged with participation in a continuing conspiracy with Spector to deny blacks access to the remunerative over-the-road driver jobs. More specifically, Spector is said to maintain a practice of refusing to hire blacks, including Macklin, for these jobs on unjustifiable racial grounds. The International and the local are alleged to cooperate with Spector in this unlawful practice with respect to their own members. An Equal Employment Opportunity Commission investigation of the events that gave rise to this suit indicated that of Spector Systems' approximately 2,700 drivers only 109, or approximately four per cent, were blacks. More significant, the EEOC report found that there was no evidence that Spector employed any blacks as over-the-road drivers as of early 1967 when the events culminating in this suit occurred.

2

In January 1967 Spector assumed control of operating rights between New York and Washington which the Interstate Commerce Commission had granted to Macklin's employer, Jacobs Eastern Transport, Inc. Jacobs had sold the rights to Spector a few months earlier, subject to ICC approval which was soon given. Within a few days of assuming control, Spector informed Macklin and Jacobs' other over-the-road drivers, all of whom apparently were black, that they were laid off until Spector established an over-the-road trucking terminal in Washington. No such terminal has been established. This fact becomes important for the following reasons.

3

The contract of sale between Jacobs and Spector indicates that Spector bought not merely Jacobs' operating rights, but also Jacobs' business. Under the terms of the then applicable National Master Freight Agreement, which both Spector and Jacobs had signed and which governed the firms' relations with their Teamsters-represented drivers, it appears that, since the Jacobs-Spector transaction covered both business and operating rights, Spector was obliged to either dovetail the seniority list of its own employees with that of Jacobs1 or maintain a separate seniority list, with Jacobs' drivers at the top, for that part of the New York-Washington route that Jacobs' drivers had driven and Spector's had not before the acquisition.2 Spector, however, chose to insist on the applicability of another provision of the Master Freight Agreement which referred only to "a purchase of permits or rights by one Carrier from another Carrier, without the purchase or acquisition of equipment, terminals, or business." This provision gave the Jacobs employees "no seniority rights at all," but stated that they should "be offered opportunity for employment at the bottom of the seniority list of the Company purchasing the permits."3 Moreover, Spector refused to offer Macklin and other Jacobs over-the-road drivers such positions anywhere in its system on the ground that they had a right to over-the-road driver jobs only if Spector chose to establish a D.C. terminal.

4

Convinced that Spector owed him an over-the-road job somewhere in its system under the terms of the Master Freight Agreement, Macklin asked Local 639 to institute grievance proceedings for him. In the proceedings that followed the local accepted the applicability of the provision that Spector relied on, but took the position that under the agreement Jacobs' over-the-road drivers should be given the right to transfer at the bottom of the seniority list to a Spector terminal in New Jersey from which shipments would be made on the route rights purchased from Jacobs. Following the terms of the Maryland-District of Columbia Freight Council Supplemental Agreement,4 the parties initially submitted the grievance to the Joint Maryland-District of Columbia Area Committee on March 20, 1967. This Committee was composed of equal numbers of union and employer representatives. When a deadlock occurred the grievance was referred to a higher level grievance adjustment body, the Eastern Conference Joint Area Committee, although the Maryland-District of Columbia group could, by a majority vote, have referred the grievance to an arbitrator.5 On April 25, 1967 the Eastern Conference Committee decided for Spector against the local's claim for work in New Jersey, ruling that the Jacobs over-the-road drivers should be given first opportunity to work as over-the-road drivers only if Spector established a D.C. long-haul terminal. No further action was taken by the union, apparently because the Maryland-District of Columbia Agreement provided no further appeal.6

5

On October 15, 1968 Macklin filed a complaint with EEOC against Spector and the local, charging conspiracy to discriminate against him. On January 24, 1969, after the 60-day period specified by Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, Section 706(b), 42 U.S.C. Sec. 2000e-5(b) (1970), for referral to the state agency had expired, EEOC formally assumed jurisdiction of his complaint.7 A lengthy agency investigation ensued, but failed to culminate in any settlement or conciliation between Macklin, the local, and Spector. On October 26, 1970 EEOC gave Macklin notice of a right to sue in federal court under Title VII. And on November 3, 1970 Macklin and his former co-worker at Jacobs, Roberson, who had also complained to EEOC,8 filed a class action for similarly situated blacks9 charging Spector, the local, and the International with violations of Title VII and Section 1 of the 1866 Civil Rights Act,10 now 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1981 (****). The District Court dismissed the claim against the International for lack of jurisdiction on February 22, 1971. Dismissal of the claim against the local and Spector was granted on June 15, 1971 without a statement of reasons. On appeal, this court remanded the June 15, 1971 judgment to the District Court for a statement of reasons. Responding to the remand, the District Court held, first, that the Title VII claim could not proceed because the plaintiffs had not complied with the 1964 Civil Rights Act's jurisdictional prerequisite of filing a claim of discrimination with EEOC within 210 days after the occurrence of the alleged unfair employment practice. Second, the court assumed that the gravamen of the complaint was Spector's failure to accept plaintiffs' view of Jacobs' drivers' rights under the relevant collective bargaining agreement. Since this claim, at least in Macklin's case, was said to have been adjudicated under the grievance adjustment provisions in the agreement, the District Court held that unless plaintiffs were "estopped from collaterally challenging the arbitration award by their election to be bound by the results of the grievance procedure," the "arbitration process is without finality and a useless tool by which to settle disputes arising out of the administration of the collective bargaining agreement." Third, the court held that the complaint under Section 1981 was governed by the three-year limitation period of 12 D.C. Code Sec. 301(8) (****), and that, since the dispute said to underlie plaintiffs' claim-Spector's failure to hire the Jacobs over-the-road drivers in comparable positions and Macklin's unavailing use of the grievance procedure-occurred more than three years before the suit was filed in November 1970, the suit was barred.

6

With all respect, we find ourselves unable to sustain any of the District Court's holdings. Thus we must reverse the judgments of dismissal and remand these cases for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.

7

* Under the terms of Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. Secs. 2000e-1-2000e-15 (1970), a plaintiff may not bring suit in District Court until he has first filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.11 The statutory enforcement scheme, Section 706, 42 U.S.C. Sec. 2000e-5, embodies a clearly defined policy of deferring action in federal court until a charge has been filed with the agency and an opportunity afforded the agency to attempt private settlement. See, e.g., Local 179, United Textile Workers v. Federal Paper Stock Co., 8 Cir., 461 F.2d 849, 851 (****); Stebbins v. Continental Insurance Companies, 143 U.S.App.D.C. 121, 123, 442 F.2d 843, 845 (****); Beverly v. Lone Star Lead Construction Corp., 5 Cir., 437 F.2d 1136, 1139-11** (**71).12 But once the agency has had at least 60 days in which to make such an attempt and no settlement has been reached, Section 706(e), 42 U. S.C. Sec. 2000e-5(e), provides that the "Commission shall so notify the person aggrieved and a civil action may, within thirty days thereafter, be brought against the respondent named in the charge * * *" And Commission notice of this sort, commonly known as the "notice of right to sue," has been held by this and other circuits to be a jurisdictional requirement for suits in District Courts under Title VII. Stebbins v. Continental Insurance Companies, supra. See also Miller v. International Paper Co., 5 Cir., 408 F.2d 283, 284-285 (****); Johnson v. Seaboard Air Line R. Co., 4 Cir., 405 F.2d 645, 652 (****), cert. denied, 394 U.S. 918, 89 S.Ct. 1189, 22 L.Ed.2d 451 (****).

8

In addition to requiring EEOC clearance before suit may be filed in court, Title VII also imposes a timely filing requirement for filing a complaint with the agency in the first place. Section 706(d), 42 U.S.C. Sec. 2000e-5(d), provides that where, as here, a charging party's complaint was referred initially to an available state agency with jurisdiction over discriminatory employment practices, the charge must be filed with EEOC within 210 days of the occurrence of the alleged unfair practice.13 Since a suit in court depends on an agency notice to sue letter and since the agency cannot take the case initially unless the timely filing requirements are met, the timely filing requirement with respect to EEOC appears to be a jurisdictional prerequisite to court action under Title VII.

9

It has been argued that the timely filing provisions are to be administered solely by the agency and that once EEOC has taken jurisdiction over a complaint and proceeded, as here, to launch a serious investigation into defendants' practices, this decision should be collaterally reviewable in a subsequent Title VII court action only where the agency's assumption of jurisdiction lacks a rational basis. Boudreaux v. Baton Rouge Marine Contracting Co., 5 Cir., 437 F.2d 1011, 1014-**** n.6 (1971). But most courts have preferred to make their own decisions de novo as to whether EEOC jurisdiction was properly asserted. See, e.g., Richard v. McDonnell Douglas Corp., 8 Cir., 469 F. 2d 1249 (****); Bartmess v. Drewrys U.S.A., Inc., 7 Cir., 444 F.2d 1186 (****); Cox v. United States Gypsum Co., 7 Cir., 409 F.2d 289 (****); Reynolds v. Daily Press, Inc., E.D.Va., 5 EPD p 7991 (****).

10

We do not rely on the agency's own finding here that it had jurisdiction. We believe appellants complied with the timely filing requirement of the Act. The District Court assumed that the latest possible date on which any unfair practice by the local or Spector occurred was April 25, 1967, the date the grievance proceedings ended. Using this date would bar appellants' claim, which was filed with EEOC in early 1969-well over 210 days later. But a simple reading of their complaints makes clear that they alleged more than simply an isolated instance of employer and union discrimination. The layoff by Spector and the local's allegedly circumscribed representation in the grievance proceedings, in our view, amounted merely to single episodes in an alleged conspiracy to deny appellants over-the-road driver jobs because of their race continuing at least up to and including the date the EEOC complaint was filed. Compare Younger v. Glamorgan Pipe & Foundry Co., W.D.Va., 310 F.Supp. 195, 197 (****); Burney v. North American Rockwell Corp., C.D.Cal., 302 F.Supp. 86, 92 (1969).

11

As we read appellants' initial, personally drafted, complaints to EEOC, they attack Spector and the local, not merely for an isolated refusal of employment occurring in early 1967, but for maintaining and supporting a discriminatory hiring system throughout 1967 and 1968. Allegations that a discriminatory hiring system continues to exist and continues to deny appellants jobs are sufficient to constitute a timely filing with the agency. See Kohn v. Royall, Koegel & Wells, S.D.N.Y., 59 F.R.D. 515, 517 (****). Moreover, in a letter to EEOC in March 1969 elaborating on his initial complaint, Macklin further alleged that Spector's continuing refusal to open a Washington terminal and its reliance for D.C. area originating hauls on trucks based in Baltimore and New Jersey constituted a purposeful and discriminatory decision based on race to avoid having to give the Jacobs drivers jobs under the 1967 grievance decision. Thus this case appears similar to Cox v. United States Gypsum Co., supra, where the court found a continuing violation in a layoff situation. Cox stressed that a layoff, as distinguished from a discharge or quitting, tends to suggest a possibility of re-employment and a claim of continuing discrimination "readily suggests that he claims there has been subsequent recall or new hiring which discriminates against him." 409 F.2d at 290. Here similar logic requires us to find appellants' complaint of a continuing nature.

12

Even as a de novo applicant, under the explicit terms of Title VII Macklin has an ongoing and justifiable expectation of nondiscriminatory treatment. Given Macklin's relationship with Spector, under the grievance decision or as an applicant off the street he was clearly prejudiced by Spector's union-supported and continuing manpower allocation and hiring decisions, if his allegations are to be believed. All this, in our mind, is surely sufficient to conclude that EEOC was asked to investigate not merely an isolated incident occurring in April 1967, but a deep-seated pattern of racial discrimination by Spector and the union against blacks like Macklin that allegedly operated with devastating effect throughout 1967 and 1968, up to and including the date the EEOC complaint was filed. In short, the claim that the "action was not timely commenced is not well taken because one isolated incident is not being challenged but rather an entire allegedly discriminatory system." Banks v. Lockheed-Georgia Co., N.D.Ga., 46 F.R.D. 442, 444 (****). See also Austin v. Reynolds Metals Co., E.D.Va., 327 F.Supp. 1145, 1152 (****); Tippett v. Liggett & Myers Tobacco Co., M.D.N. C., 316 F.Supp. 292, 296 (****); Sciaraffa v. Oxford Paper Co., D.Me., 310 F. Supp. 891, 896-897 (****).

13

Our conclusion as to the continuing nature of the complaint against Spector and the union is buttressed by EEOC's own refusal to regard the filings as focusing simply on events between January and April 1967. To be sure, the EEOC investigator, judging from his report, paid careful attention to the dispute over application of the Master Freight Agreement's provisions to Jacobs' drivers' claims for positions with Spector. But the investigation report also discussed at some length Spector's record of minority employment in the period following April 1967, suggesting that the agency viewed the complaint before it as alleging more than a single refusal to hire. If the Commission viewed Macklin's complaint as stating a broad-gauged attack on Spector's continuing hiring practices, we see no reason to construe his allegations in a crabbed, artificial manner. Quite the reverse, we think, along with other courts, that the matters the Commission proceeds to investigate should assist in determining the scope of the complaint for purposes of applying Title VII's jurisdictional requirements. See Sanchez v. Standard Brands, Inc., 5 Cir., 431 F. 2d 455, 465-467 (****).

14

It should be remembered that the jurisdictional requirements we are applying here are not aimed at polished lawyers' pleadings, but rather at charges brought, initially, by laymen usually unassisted by attorneys. See Love v. Pullman Co., 404 U.S. 522, 527, 92 S.Ct. 616, 30 L.Ed.2d 679 (****). Thus it makes sense, in our view, to avoid reading them as Baron Parke might have, but rather to read them with considerably more latitude and with weight to the construction given them by the Commission in the matters it proceeds to investigate. See Sciaraffa v. Oxford Paper Co., supra, 310 F.Supp. at 897-900.14 Moreover, there is no question that Macklin was an aggrieved party within the meaning of the statute if his allegations of Spector's continuing discriminatory practices have any basis. Obviously, he sought work with the company before April 1967 and he was waiting to be recalled. He insists that he inquired whether there was employment for him subsequently, though the details of his requests remain to be fleshed out.15 Even if he did not make a formal application, this should not be held to oust him from aggrieved party status under Title VII since he may well be able to prove that he was indisputably able to work as an over-the-road driver and formal applications might well have been an exercise in futility. Boudreaux v. Baton Rouge Marine Contracting Co., supra, 437 F.2d at 1015.16 Thus he was surely a proper party to raise the question of what he termed on his complaint Spector's continuing refusal to hire him because of his race. In short, we see no justification whatever for viewing his initial complaint against Spector and the union as confined merely to the events of early 1967.

15

We also believe the complaint to EEOC should be understood as encompassing events and practices extending well beyond April 1967 for additional reasons. Surely Macklin's allegations cover the local's behavior during the grievance proceeding which ended at that time. So far as we can tell, the local not only failed to press for impartial arbitration of Macklin's seniority claim as an alternative to a decision by a bipartite panel; it also failed to propose to Spector a broader range of employment alternatives than simply employment at a single New Jersey terminal. Further, the local apparently accepted the interpretation of the Jacobs-Spector agreement as simply a sale of operating rights rather than as one including a sale of a business, and this too may have prejudiced Macklin's opportunities to gain a favorable decision from the grievance committee. There is no question that the union's performance is subject to attack since it may constitute a breach of the local's duty of fair representation, see Vaca v. Sipes, 386 U.S. 171, 87 S.Ct. 903, 17 L.Ed.2d 842 (****); Glover v. St. Louis-San Francisco R. Co., 393 U.S. 324, 330-331, 89 S.Ct. 548, 21 L.Ed.2d 519 (****), and if the local's performance is found to be arbitrary or in bad faith and the facts support a finding of racial discrimination, then it would appear liable under Title VII. Local U. No. 12, United Rubber etc. Wkrs v. NLRB, 5 Cir., 368 F.2d 12, 24 (1966), cert. denied, 389 U.S. 837, 88 S.Ct. 53, 19 L.Ed.2d 99 (1967). See also United Packinghouse, Food & Allied Wkrs Int. U. v. NLRB, 135 U.S.App.D.C. 111, 118 n.11, 416 F.2d 1126, 1133 n.11, cert. denied, 396 U.S. 903, 90 S.Ct. 216, 24 L.Ed.2d 179 (****). Going beyond the local's performance in the grievance proceeding, Macklin's complaint to EEOC-and more specifically his more detailed, but completely consistent, complaint in the District Court-can be read to charge the local with further action constituting a discriminatory practice in violation of Title VII. In his EEOC complaint he charged a continuous failure on the part of the local to represent adequately his interest in fair treatment and, in the District Court, he alleged that the local's failure comprehended a failure to represent him properly in the negotiation of collective bargaining agreements as well as in grievance proceedings. Moreover, he stated that these omissions, when coupled with his charge that the local was fully aware of Spector's continued discriminatory hiring and job assignment practices, amounted to participation in an unlawful scheme to deny him employment opportunities. To our mind, these allegations support the charge of a continuing pattern of racial discrimination sufficient to uphold EEOC jurisdiction against the union and Spector individually and as conspirators in a common scheme.

16

It has been clear since Steele v. Louisville & Nashville R. Co., 323 U.S. 192, 65 S.Ct. 226, 89 L.Ed. 193 (****), that in negotiating as well as in administering a contract a union is obliged to protect all those it represents and may not consent to provisions or take positions that discriminate on racial grounds against some of its people.17 A union's duty, in representing its members and protecting them from invidious treatment, must certainly be broader than simply refusing to sign overtly discriminatory agreements. Where blacks are in a minority, as they so often are in large industrial unions like the Teamsters, tacit union acquiescence in an employer's discriminatory practices effectively produces the same end result that was condemned in Steele.18 One means of avoiding this outcome, short of forcing the individual member to the recourse of time-consuming litigation against the employer, is for the union, in its vital role as bargaining agent, to negotiate actively for nondiscriminatory treatment in aid of its black members. It is hardly surprising that, in recognition of this commonsense conclusion, National Labor Relations Board orders requiring unions to propose "specific contractual provisions prohibiting racial discrimination in terms and conditions of employment" have been upheld where a union has been found to discriminate against its black members. Local U. No. 12, United Rubber etc. Wkrs v. NLRB, supra, 368 F.2d at 16, 24. Where a union has not done so and where there is such solid evidence of employer discrimination as is alleged here, it would undermine Title VII's attempt to impose responsibility on both unions and employers to hold that union passivity at the negotiating table in such circumstances cannot constitute a violation of the Act. Cf. Robinson v. Lorillard Corp., 4 Cir., 444 F.2d 791, 799, cert. dismissed, 404 U.S. 1006, 92 S.Ct. 573, 30 L.Ed.2d 655 (****). And we are not alone in recognizing an affirmative union obligation under Title VII to avoid such a situation. See United States v. Bethlehem Steel Corp., W.D.N.Y., 312 F.Supp. 977, 989-991 (****), reversed in part on other grounds, 2 Cir., 446 F.2d 652 (****). Cf. NLRB v. Tanner Motor Livery, Ltd., 9 Cir., 419 F.2d 216, 219 (****).

17

Since the local's relationship with Macklin as bargaining agent continued after the grievance proceeding, clearly the local's obligation, as we have outlined it, did not lapse. Thus we have no difficulty concluding that on the face of his complaint to the Commission Macklin, while understandably not providing any detail,19 stated a claim of continuing concerted conduct by Spector and the local sufficient to preclude dismissal on the ground of untimely filing.

18

19

We also disagree with the District Court's holding that Macklin is estopped from proceeding under Title VII because of his decision to pursue his claim for a job with Spector through contractual grievance proceedings. The District Court relied principally upon Dewey v. Reynolds Metals Co., 6 Cir., 429 F.2d 324 (****), which held that, where a worker had raised a claim of religious discrimination in a prior arbitration which rejected the claim, he was barred from raising the same claim in a Title VII suit. Dewey was affirmed by an equally divided Supreme Court, 402 U.S. 689, 91 S.Ct. 2186, 29 L.Ed.2d 267 (****). But the import of the Supreme Court's divided vote, which ordinarily is not viewed as a judgment on the merits, see Neil v. Biggers, 409 U.S. 188, 93 S. Ct. 375, 34 L.Ed.2d 401 (****), is particularly obscure for our purposes here. The Sixth Circuit in Dewey also decided on the merits that the plaintiff had not made out a case of unlawful discrimination and this aspect of its ruling may have been as responsible for the Supreme Court's division as the holding on the arbitration point.

20

But even assuming its validity, we do not believe Dewey controls this case. In our view, the most crucial distinction is that here the two levels of bipartite grievance proceedings in which Macklin participated-which we may assume for the moment may be considered an adequate counterpart to the arbitration to which Dewey deferred-did not confront the racial discrimination question that Macklin pressed before EEOC and the District Court. All Macklin sought from the grievance boards was a decision that under the terms of the National Master Freight Agreement Spector was obligated to offer him a position at the end of its current seniority list of over-the-road drivers. Not a hint of racial discrimination was raised until many months after the grievance proceeding had ended when Macklin presumably concluded that his unfulfilled prospects resulted from something more than dispassionate interpretation of a labor contract. We see no reason why this question-the continuing policy of Spector and the local toward blacks interested in over-the-road drivers' positions -should be viewed as conclusively decided by a proceeding aimed at a different issue. Moreover, even if Macklin had raised the racial discrimination issue before the grievance committees, under the terms of the Master Freight Agreement it appears doubtful he would have received any relief on such a ground since neither the Master Freight Agreement nor the Maryland-District of Columbia Agreement contained an antidiscrimination provision. The Master Freight Agreement also provided that grievance adjustment boards and arbitrators were forbidden to make awards on any basis except the provisions of the contract.20 Thus one of Dewey's major underpinnings-the desirability of avoiding relitigation of issues already heard in private grievance proceedings, 429 F.2d at 332-is not applicable here.

21

The question then becomes whether any other argument supports the District Court's holding. Appellees suggest that Dewey stands for a more sweeping proposition: that workers seeking relief from discriminatory employer action-here Spector's failure to hire Jacobs' over-the-road drivers-are subject to the election of remedies doctrine. This theory, applied here, would mean that so long as Macklin's fundamental objective -reversing Spector's decision not to employ him-was the same in both the grievance and the District Court proceedings, he is bound by the result of his initial remedial choice, notwithstanding the fact that he proceeded under varying theories and factual claims in the different proceedings.

22

We find this argument untenable on several grounds. First, the Sixth Circuit itself, and every other circuit considering the question, has rejected this sweeping interpretation of Dewey, and for good reason.21 In Newman v. Avco Corp.-Aerospace Structures Div., 6 Cir., 451 F.2d 743 (****), the court argued that the election of remedies doctrine is "dying rapidly," "has long been in disrepute," and, most important, did not, on close analysis, serve as Dewey's underpinning. Id. at 746-747 & n.1. And it makes little sense to bar Macklin from judicial consideration of his claim of racial discrimination in circumstances where, as we pointed out, the grievance adjustment body not only was given no opportunity to adjudicate it, but also lacked power under the contract to act against racial discrimination. As Professor Meltzer has argued, "To foreclose Dewey's statutory rights in such a situation would be to deny him the right to be heard by either an arbitrator or a court and would appear to be plainly repugnant to due process notions." Meltzer, Labor Arbitration and Overlapping and Conflicting Remedies for Employment Discrimination, 39 U.Chi.L.Rev. 30, 39 (1971). In addition, and equally important, we believe that accepting appellees' broad argument simply makes no sense in customary labor law terms. Dewey relied heavily on a series of Supreme Court decisions which elaborated a federal policy of deference to decisions made by private grievance machinery specified in collective bargaining agreements as the appropriate means of dispute settlement.22 But the finality customarily accorded to decisions by such dispute settling machinery, see General Drivers, etc., Local U. No. 89 v. Riss & Co., Inc., 372 U.S. 517, 83 S.Ct. 789, 9 L.Ed.2d 918 (****); United Steelworkers of America v. Enterprise Wheel & Car Corp., 363 U.S. 593, 80 S.Ct. 1358, 4 L.Ed.2d 1424 (****), is hardly absolute, especially where, as here, the fairness of the grievance settlement procedures is questioned. In Vaca v. Sipes, supra, the Supreme Court made clear that the normal policy of deferring to decisions by private grievance machinery did not apply where a worker could claim that the grievance machinery had been unfairly operated.23 In particular, Vaca said that a union's decision to halt processing a member's grievance after an unfavorable decision at a low level of the adjustment machinery could be attacked in court along with the decision itself. The standard of review of the union's decision not to continue pressing its member's claim was whether the decision amounted to a breach of the union's duty of fair representation or, in other words, whether the union's behavior was arbitrary, in bad faith, unduly perfunctory, or tinged by racial discrimination. 386 U.S. at 190-195, 87 S.Ct. 903. Given Macklin's allegations that the union failed properly to represent his interests before the grievance committees, this would seem a case where, in light of Vaca, the normal principles of deference could hardly apply until the facts had been fully litigated, and even then would not apply in light of Macklin's allegations involving Spector's and the local's post-April 1967 behavior. See Newman v. Avco Corp.-Aerospace Structures Div., supra.

23

In short, we must overturn the District Court's holding in this aspect of the case on the following grounds: first, the decision of the grievance board could certainly not be said to have any res judicata effect since the racial discrimination claims were not raised because the board had no authority to hear them; second, a mechanistic application of the election of remedies doctrine has been rejected by all the circuits which have considered the question in a Title VII context; and third, the customary policy of deferring to the decisions of private grievance boards is not applicable in a case, such as this, where the plaintiff attacks the quality of the representation he received from the union and where the questions of discrimination he seeks to litigate were not covered by the labor contract the grievance board applied.24 Most importantly, we must give repeated emphasis to the fact that Macklin's complaint, while it certainly covers Spector's initial failure to hire him after Jacobs halted its over-the-road business, sweeps considerably more broadly. As we pointed out in Part I of this opinion, Spector's hiring policies after as well as before the grievance machinery's decision are called into question, as is the local's alleged continuing failure to assure that its black members are sufficiently protected through the collective bargaining process from Spector's alleged discrimination. These issues obviously differ considerably in their substantive as well as their temporal scope from the mere question whether Spector should have given Jacobs' over-the-road drivers job opportunities in early 1967 at an ongoing over-the-road terminal-the issue before the grievance boards. And we see no convincing ground for holding that they cannot be litigated in Title VII proceedings merely because Macklin took his initial, narrow objection to Spector's employment plans to grievance proceedings and lost.

25

The District Court also dismissed appellants' claims under 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1981 (****). The District Court refused to decide whether appellants stated a claim under Section 1981 on the ground that, even if they did, they were barred by the operation of the relevant statute of limitations, 12 D.C.Code Sec. 301(8), a residuary provision setting up a three-year limitation for claims not otherwise provided for by statute. We believe appellants state a claim under Section 1981 and that the three-year limitation period did not run before they filed their action in the District Court.

26

Section 1981 provides:

27

"All persons within the jurisdiction of the United States shall have the same right in every State and Territory to make and enforce contracts, to sue, be parties, give evidence, and to the full and equal benefit of all laws and proceedings for the security of persons and property as is enjoyed by white citizens, and shall be subject to like punishment, pains, penalties, taxes, licenses, and exactions of every kind, and to no other."

28

(Emphasis added.) While this circuit has not previously decided the applicability of Section 1981 to cases involving racial discrimination by unions and employers, see Stebbins v. Continental Insurance Companies, supra, 143 U.S.App. D.C. at 124-125, 442 F.2d at 846-847, we must do so here. This is so because appellants' claim under Section 1981 runs not only against the local and Spector, but against the International as well. Appellants say their complaint against the International should be viewed as resting on Section 1981. Thus if the International is to remain in this suit, it must be as a Section 1981 defendant.25

29

We need not discuss this issue at any great length, for we are in accord with the overwhelming weight of authority in other circuits that Section 1981 does indeed apply to acts of private racial discrimination by union organizations and employers and should not be read as having been repealed by passage of Title VII in 1964.26 Originally enacted as the Civil Rights Act of 1866,27 there is no question that Section 1981, like its statutory twin Section 1982, is a constitutional assertion of congressional power to enforce the Thirteenth Amendment. See Jones v. Alfred H. Mayer Co., 392 U.S. 409, 441-443 n. 78, 88 S.Ct. 2186, 20 L.Ed.2d 1189 (****); Tillman v. Wheaton-Haven Recreation Assn. Inc., 410 U.S. 431, 439 & n. 11, 93 S.Ct. 1090, 35 L.Ed.2d 403 (February 27, 1973).

30

Since the federal statute provides no period of limitations to govern Section 1981 claims, we must refer to the appropriate period stated in a statute of local application. See Waters v. Wisconsin Steel Works of International Harvester Co., 7 Cir., 427 F.2d 476, 488, cert. denied, 400 U.S. 911, 91 S.Ct. 137, 27 L.Ed.2d 151 (****); Boudreaux v. Baton Rouge Marine Contracting Co., supra, 437 F.2d at 1017 n.16. And see generally Sullivan v. Little Hunting Park, Inc., 396 U.S. 229, 239-240, 90 S. Ct. 400, 24 L.Ed.2d 386 (****); Int. U., United Auto., etc. Wkrs v. Hoosier Cardinal Corp., 383 U.S. 696, 703-706, 86 S.Ct. 1107, 16 L.Ed.2d 192 (****). The District Court ruled that appellants' claim was most appropriately governed by the residuary limitation of three years in 12 D.C.Code Sec. 301(8), and we see no reason to disagree.28 The question thus becomes whether appellants' claim, filed in the District Court on November 3, 1970, had run before that date.

31

We think not. As to Spector, it is clear from Macklin's complaint that its alleged discriminatory practices as they affected him continued at least up to the time the filed his complaint with EEOC in early 1969. Moreover, as to the local its failure to protect its black members' interests also allegedly continued to that time, according to the complaint, as did its alleged complicity in Spector's allegedly unfair hiring practices. And the same conclusion certainly applies to the complaint as it pertains to the International which, after all, participates in the negotiation of nationwide agreements with truckers.29 Certainly the liberal standards that govern us in passing on motions to dismiss on the basis of a plaintiff's complaint require this conclusion. See Czosek v. O'Mara, 397 U.S. 25, 27, 90 S.Ct. 770, 25 L.Ed.2d 21 (1970); Conley v. Gibson, 355 U.S. 41, 47-58, 78 S.Ct. 99, 2 L.Ed.2d 80 (1957).30

32

The International, against whom no complaint was lodged with EEOC, seeks to avoid the Section 1981 action by arguing that dismissal was justified on precisely that ground. It argues that, even though Section 1981 constitutes a separate cause of action from one based on Title VII, prior recourse to EEOC should be required in any case or, at least, the plaintiff must plead a reasonable excuse for his failure to bring his claim to EEOC. The International relies heavily on Waters v. Wisconsin Steel Works of International Harvester Co., supra, where the Seventh Circuit, in the process of deciding that Section 1981 had not been repealed by Title VII and could be used as a means of recovery in racial employment discrimination cases, also held that some accommodation between the two statutes was necessary and that recourse to EEOC-or adequate reasons for bypass-was required in Section 1981 cases. 427 F.2d at 487. While this approach has something to recommend it, not the least of which is a potential saving of judicial resources, we must reject it.

33

The approach we prefer is that taken by the Third Circuit in Young v. International Telephone and Telegraph Co., 438 F.2d 757 (****), and followed by the Fifth Circuit in Caldwell v. National Brewing Co., 443 F.2d 1044 (****). In those cases, it was properly stressed that Section 1981 and Title VII, in truth, provide for such radically different schemes of enforcement and differ so widely in their substantive scopes that using the policies behind the latter to create procedural barriers to actions under the former would stretch to the breaking point courts' customary duty to accommodate allegedly conflicting legislation. For one thing, as the Third Circuit stressed, 438 F.2d at 737-738, the statutes have radically differing statutes of limitations, with Title VII requiring a complaint to EEOC within 90 or 210 days, and Section 1981 frequently, as here, permitting a substantially longer period. Secondly, Title VII suits are infused with an undeniably special public interest, as provisions for attorneys' fees, waiver of fees, costs and security, and intervention by the United States Attorney General attest. 42 U.S.C. Sec. 2000e-5(e). Section 1981 includes no such provisions. Finally, it is an exaggeration to argue that in passing Title VII Congress intended to make recourse to EEOC conciliation and investigatory procedures the centerpiece of the nation's commitment to ending unfair discrimination in employment and a sine qua non in all employment discrimination cases. Congress was aware that both the courts and the NLRB were already developing separate means of dealing with discrimination against workers by unions and employers, as Steele v. Louisville & Nashville R. Co., supra, Syres v. Oil Workers Int. U., Local 23, 350 U.S. 892, 76 S.Ct. 152, 100 L.Ed. 785 (****), and the Supreme Court's refusal in Humphrey v. Moore, 375 U.S. 335, 344, 84 S.Ct. 363, 11 L.Ed.2d 370 (****), to foreclose the question with respect to the NLRB in early 1964 all indicated. Indeed, Congress rejected an amendment to exclude any federal agency but EEOC from dealing with practices covered by Title VII. 110 Cong. Rec. (Part 10) 1365*-***52 (1964). Since that time, of course, concurrent jurisdiction in EEOC, the NLRB, and the District Courts over employer and union discrimination against employees on racial grounds has been judicially recognized and accepted. Local U. No. 12, United Rubber etc. Wkrs v. NLRB, supra; United Packinghouse, Food & Allied Wkrs Int. U. v. NLRB, supra;31 Linscott v. Millers Falls Co., 1 Cir., 440 F.2d 14, 18-19 n.4 (1971). The conclusion is inescapable that, while Section 1981 and Title VII do overlap to the extent of prohibiting union and employer racial discrimination, the conflict between them is no greater than that between Title VII and the National Labor Relations Act, and that, just as actions under the NLRA may proceed independently of Title VII, so too may actions under Section 1981. In short, we hold that it is impermissible to dismiss a Section 1981 defendant on the ground that it was not named in an EEOC complaint filed under Title VII.

34

This is not to say that the District Court, in the exercise of its discretion, is precluded from encouraging the parties to use EEOC conciliation facilities during the pendency of the suit. See Young v. International Telephone & Telegraph Co., supra, 438 F.2d at 764. Obviously, any District Court will explore settlement possibilities prior to final judgment, and the services of the agency may be helpful in this regard. Cf. 42 U.S.C. Sec. 2000e-4(f). But we believe that, in light of the delay that has already marked this action, any decision to call on EEOC facilities with respect to appellants' dispute with the International-the agency's facilities already having apparently been exhausted with respect to the other defendants-should not serve as a subterfuge whereby this action is further prolonged. This case is ripe for further development of the facts and, if need be, trial. These objectives must take primacy.

Roberson's charge was submitted to EEOC on Feb. 9, 1969. It was referred to the Maryland Commission on Human Relations and the District of Columbia Council on Human Relations on Feb. 13, 1969. And on April 18, 1969 EEOC formally assumed jurisdiction over the complaint

9

In their initial complaint in the District Court appellants purported to represent a class of blacks qualified to serve as over-the-road drivers on motor carriers engaged in interstate commerce. Moreover, Local 639 was said to be representative of other Teamsters locals throughout the country engaging in discriminatory practices to the disadvantage of blacks in plaintiffs' class. Spector was said to be representative of another defendant class -of motor carriers engaged in interstate commerce and alleged to engage in discrimination against blacks qualified to serve as over-the-road drivers. By agreement of the parties the District Court's decision was based on the original complaint. However, in their amended complaint, filed several days prior to the District Court's dismissal, plaintiffs appear to have dropped that aspect of their original complaint setting up defendant classes

11

It does not follow, however, that the membership of a plaintiff's class in an action under Title VII is restricted to those who have brought complaints before EEOC. Beginning with Oatis v. Crown Zellerbach Corp., 5 Cir., 398 F.2d 496 (****), it has become well recognized that so long as the class representative's complaint gives the defendant an opportunity to conciliate with respect to the issues later raised in court, that is sufficient to allow a class action representing non-EEOC-filing complainants to go forward. See also Robinson v. Lorillard Corp., 4 Cir., 444 F.2d 791, cert. dismissed, 404 U.S. 1006, 92 S.Ct. 573, 30 L.Ed.2d 655 (****) (approving back pay award under Title VII to members of class who had not complained before EEOC). See generally Developments in the Law-Employment Discrimination and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 84 Harv. L.Rev. 1109, 1220-12** (**71)

12

Actual conciliation efforts by EEOC, however, have not been required as a condition precedent to subsequent court suits under Title VII. See, e. g., Miller v. International Paper Co., 5 Cir., 408 F.2d 283 (****); Dent v. St. Louis-San Francisco R. Co., 5 Cir., 406 F.2d 399 (****); Johnson v. Seaboard Air Line R.

Bowe did, however, suggest one limitation on Title VII actions brought subsequent to a decision by a grievance proceeding. Where a grievant received a favorable award in the grievance proceeding, a court could not give him "duplicate relief which would result in an unjust enrichment or windfall." 416 F.2d at 715. For similar holdings, see Thomas v. Philip Carey Manufacturing Co., 6 Cir., 455 F.2d 911 (****); Spann v. Kaywood Division, Joanna Western Mills Co., 6 Cir., 446 F.2d 120 (****). Our result is not precluded by Alexander v. Gardner-Denver Co., 10 Cir., 466 F.2d 1209 (****), affirming per curiam D.Colo., 346 F.Supp. 1012 (****), a discharge case which upheld dismissal of a Title VII action on the ground that the arbitrator in the grievance proceeding had already decided the plaintiff's racial discrimination claim against him. The Alexander court relied heavily on Dewey, see 346 F.Supp. at 1016-****, and the Supreme Court has granted cert. to decide the question. 410 U.S. 925, 93 S.Ct. 1398, 35 L.Ed.2d 586 (****). The important distinction between Alexander and our case is simply that appellants' claim here raises a series of factual and legal issues that were not before the grievance proceeding

23

See also Humphrey v. Moore, 375 U.S. 335, 348-349, 84 S.Ct. 363, 11 L.Ed.2d 370 (****). Moreover, it is important to realize that in United Steelworkers of America v. Enterprise Wheel & Car Corp., supra note 22, the Court stressed that the finality for judicial purposes of an arbitrator's decision depended on whether the arbitrator had confined the basis of his decision to the issues over which he was given authority by the underlying labor contract. Where the arbitrator relies on extrinsic factors, such as legislation, for his award, the Court pointed out, he has exceeded his authority under the contract and judicial deference is no longer appropriate. 363 U.S. at 597-598, 80 S.Ct. 1358. It would seem to follow that the policy of deference to a grievance award embedded in a labor contract's provisions hardly applies where a grievance decision maker's award is attacked on the basis of extrinsic factors, such as Title VII's policy against racial discrimination. Such factors have nothing to do with the underlying labor contract, and since the contract is the basis for judicial deference the policy would not seem applicable

24

See note 23 supra and text and note at note 17 supra

25

Consequently, we are not required to decide here whether the International could be a Title VII defendant as well. It has been held, of course, that a Title VII defendant must have been named as an offending party in earlier proceedings before EEOC. See, e. g., Bowe v. Colgate-Palmolive Co., supra note 21, 416 F.2d at 719. But it has also been held that this rule requiring recourse to EEOC against all Title VII defendants is not absolute, as where a defendant who was not called before EEOC is an indispensable party under Rule 19, Fed.R.Civ.P. See Evans v. Sheraton Park Hotel, D.D.C., 4 EPD p 7727 (****); Reyes v. Missouri-Kansas-Texas R. Co., D.Kan., 53 F.R.D. 293 (****); Torockio v. Chamberlain Mfg. Co., W.D.Pa., 51 F.R.D. 517 (****); Bremer v. St. Louis Southwestern R. Co., E.D.Mo., 310 F.Supp. 1333 (****). In the event proceedings against the International under Title VII as well as under Sec. 1981 are sought on remand, we direct the District Court's attention to the above cited cases

26

See, e. g., Payne v. Ford Motor Co., 8 Cir., 461 F.2d 1107 (****); Brady v. Bristol-Meyers, Inc., 8 Cir., 459 F.2d 621 (****); Brown v. Gaston County Dyeing Machine Co., 4 Cir., 457 F.2d 1377 (****); Hackett v. McGuire Brothers, Inc., 3 Cir., 445 F.2d 442 (****); Caldwell v.

28

It might be argued that at least one aspect of appellants' claim is based on the provisions of the Master Freight Agreement, thus suggesting that 12 D.C.Code Sec. 301(7) (****), which provides for a 3-year limitation on actions "on a simple contract, express or implied," is applicable. But this makes little difference for our purposes here since the limitation of this provision and that of the residuary provision are the same

The fact that Macklin's complaint stated continuing violations on the part of the 3 defendants requires reversal of the District Court's dismissal of the Sec. 1981 actions, but we also must give guidance to the District Court respecting Macklin's further argument that the statute of limitations applicable to the Sec. 1981 claim should have been considered tolled with respect to Spector and the local when his complaint was filed with EEOC. For this question is surely relevant to questions involving the extent of defendants' damage liability under Sec. 1981, see Lee v. Southern Home Sites Corp., 5 Cir., 429 F.2d 290, 293-294 (****); Lazard v. Boeing Co., E.D.La., 322 F.Supp. 343, 345 (****), once the facts of this case are further developed and appellants' claims for relief made more specific

In our view, the applicable statute of limitations for purposes of Sec. 1981 should indeed be considered tolled when a complaint is made to EEOC. Boudreaux v. Baton Rouge Marine Contracting Co., supra note 26, 437 F.2d at 1017 n. 16, came to this conclusion, as did the more recent case of Reynolds v. Daily Press, Inc., E.D.Va., 5 EPD p 7991 (****). First, we believe Title VII indicates a recent congressional decision to favor informal methods of settlement and conciliation short of litigation in employment discrimination cases. Plaintiffs, who often proceed initially without assistance of counsel and bring their complaints first to EEOC in accord with this legislative policy, should not be penalized for this action when they later sue for relief in District Court under both Title VII and Sec. 1981, which overlaps Title VII. This case is therefore different from Condol v. Baltimore & Ohio R. Co., 91 U.S.App.D.C. 255, 199 F.2d 400 (****), where a panel of this court found no such policy in favor of pre-litigation adjustment in the statute relevant there, the Railway Labor Act, and accordingly refused to toll the statute of limitations for the period when private grievance procedures were utilized. Moreover, we believe the broad purposes of statutes of limitations-prevention of stale claims and unfair surprise-are not frustrated by adopting the rule of Boudreaux and Reynolds. The local and Spector were assuredly put on notice while the case was under investigation by EEOC, for the investigator's report indicates that Spector's records were examined and officials of the local interviewed. Believing as we do that the statute was tolled in early 1969, it follows that Macklin's claim against Spector and the local is sufficient to cover the events of early 1967 for purposes of granting any relief under Sec. 1981 that may be appropriate.

We are aware of the heavy reliance appellees place on a series of cases involving monetary claims against the Government and standing for the proposition that a fixed statute of limitations is not to be considered tolled by submission of the claims to nonmandatory administrative consideration. See Williams v. United States, 434 F.2d 1346, 193 Ct.Cl. 440 (****); Steel Improvement & Forge Co. v. United States, 355 F.2d 627, 174 Ct.Cl. 24 (1966); Friedman v. United States, 310 F.2d 381, 159 Ct.Cl. 1 (1962), cert. denied, 373 U.S. 932, 83 S.Ct. 1540, 10 L.Ed.2d 691 (****). But this rule, based on a series of statutes with fixed limitations and fixed procedures for presentation of claims, should not, in our view, be applied mechanically to the situation before us. For one thing, we are not dealing with a clear expression of congressional intent as to limitations of Sec. 1981 actions, for Congress enacted no statute of limitations applicable to Sec. 1981. As a result, we are forced to create procedural limitations on such actions as a matter of judicial implication. See Waters v. Wisconsin Steel Works of International Harvester Co., supra note 26, 427 F.2d at 488; cf. Sullivan v. Little Hunting Park, Inc., 396 U.S. 229, 239-240, 90 S.Ct. 400, 24 L.Ed.2d 386 (****). In this posture, it is our duty to ensure that the procedural limitations we impose are consistent with Sec. 1981's underlying "humane and remedial" policy. Burnett v. New York Central R. Co., 380 U.S. 424, 427-429, 85 S.Ct. 1050, 13 L.Ed.2d 941 (****). See Mizell v. North Broward Hospital District, 5 Cir., 427 F.2d 468, 473-474 (****). And we believe the underlying policy of justice and interracial accommodation embedded in Sec. 1981 is not furthered by enmeshing actions under the statute in technicalities that operate to the disadvantage of plaintiffs who have acted entirely in good faith by taking their claims initially to EEOC. Nothing is lost, we believe, by such a recourse, and we must therefore reject the applicability of the cases cited to us.

Even if the statute of limitations were deemed tolled only with the filing of this case in District Court-as is true with respect to the International-it does not necessarily follow that the damage relief which appellants might receive in their suit would be restricted to the economic harm and other damages they suffered in the 3 years prior to the beginning of the District Court action. To be sure, a cause of action normally accrues at the time a wrong is committed and the damage inflicted. In some cases, however, it may take time for the damage to occur, see Delta Theaters, Inc. v. Paramount Pictures, Inc., E.D.La., 158 F.Supp. 644, 649 (****), or, alternatively, a plaintiff may be understandably unaware that the disadvantage he suffers is the product of wrongful behavior, see Jones v. Rogers Memorial Hospital, 143 U.S.App.D.C. 51, 52-53, 442 F.2d 773, 774-775 (****); Westinghouse Electric Corp. v. City of Burlington, Vt., 122 U.S.App.D.C. 65, 68, 351 F.2d 762, 765 (****). This case might easily fall into the latter category since it is possible that Macklin was deceived for some time into believing his difficulties in obtaining over-the-road employment resulted merely from a purportedly neutral contract interpretation and from the fortuity of residing in a city, Washington, where there appeared insufficient outgoing traffic to justify Spector's establishing an over-the-road terminal. To the extent he could show that his misperception of the source of his difficulty was justified and that he had good cause not to suspect racial discrimination, he could recover for the period before he realized that he had actually been wronged and the statute of limitations had begun to run. See Zenith Radio Corp. v. Hazeltine Research, Inc., 401 U.S. 321, 339, 91 S.Ct. 795, 28 L.Ed. 2d 77 (1971); Baker v. F & F Investment, 7 Cir., 420 F.2d 1191, 1199 (****). Under this analysis, Macklin and the other over-the-road drivers from Jacobs might be able to recover for the over-3-year period elapsing between the closing of Jacobs' over-the-road business and the filing of this suit. Certainly this analysis is relevant in deciding the extent of damage appellants may have suffered from the activity of the International, since it was only with the filing of this suit that the statute of limitations was tolled with respect to the International.

Dr. David Kaiser

History Unfolding

I am a student of history. Professionally, I have written 15 books on history that have been published in six languages, and I have studied history all my life. I have come to think there is something monumentally large afoot, and I do not believe it is simply a banking crisis, or a mortgage crisis, or a credit crisis. Yes these exist, but they are merely single facets on a very large gemstone that is only now coming into a sharper focus.

Something of historic proportions is happening. I can sense it because I know how it feels, smells, what it looks like, and how people react to it. Yes, a perfect storm may be brewing, but there is something happening within our country that has been evolving for about ten to fifteen years. The pace has dramatically quickened in the past two.

We demand and then codify into law the requirement that our banks make massive loans to people we know they can never pay back? Why?

We learned just days ago that the Federal Reserve, which has little or no real oversight by anyone, has "loaned" two trillion dollars (that is $2,000,000,000,000) over the past few months, but will not tell us to whom or why or disclose the terms. That is our money. Yours and mine. And that is three times the $700 billion we all argued about so strenuously just this past September. Who has this money? Why do they have it? Why are the terms unavailable to us? Who asked for it? Who authorized it? I thought this was a government of "we the people," who loaned our powers to our elected leaders. Apparently not.

We have spent two or more decades intentionally de-industrializing our economy.. Why?

We have intentionally dumbed down our schools, ignored our history, and no longer teach our founding documents, why we are exceptional, and why we are worth preserving. Students by and large cannot write, think critically, read, or articulate. Parents are not revolting, teachers are not picketing, school boards continue to back mediocrity. Why?

We have now established the precedent of protesting every close election (violently in California over a proposition that is so controversial that it simply wants marriage to remain defined as between one man and one woman. Did you ever think such a thing possible just a decade ago?) We have corrupted our sacred political process by allowing unelected judges to write laws that radically change our way of life, and then mainstream Marxist groups like ACORN and others to turn our voting system into a banana republic. To what purpose?

Now our mortgage industry is collapsing, housing prices are in free fall, major industries are failing, our banking system is on the *** of collapse, social security is nearly bankrupt, as is Medicare and our entire government. Our education system is worse than a joke (I teach college and I know precisely what I am talking about) - the list is staggering in its length, breadth, and depth.. It is potentially 1929 x ten! And we are at war with an enemy we cannot even name for fear of offending people of the same religion, who, in turn, cannot wait to slit the throats of your children if they have the opportunity to do so.

And finally, we have elected a man that no one really knows anything about, who has never run so much as a Dairy Queen, let alone a town as big as Wasilla , Alaska . All of his associations and alliances are with real radicals in their chosen fields of employment, and everything we learn about him, drip by drip, is unsettling if not downright scary (Surely you have heard him speak about his idea to create and fund a mandatory civilian defense force stronger than our military for use inside our borders? No? Oh, of course. The media would never play that for you over and over and then demand he answer it. Sarah Palin's pregnant daughter and $150,000 wardrobe are more important.)

Mr. Obama's winning platform can be boiled down to one word: Change. Why?

I have never been so afraid for my country and for my children as I am now.

This man campaigned on bringing people together, something he has never, ever done in his professional life. In my assessment, Obama will divide us along philosophical lines, push us apart, and then try to realign the pieces into a new and different power structure. Change is indeed coming. And when it comes, you will never see the same nation again.

And that is only the beginning..

As a serious student of history, I thought I would never come to experience what the ordinary, moral German must have felt in the mid-1930s. In those times, the "savior" was a former smooth-talking rabble-rouser from the streets, about whom the average German knew next to nothing. What they should have known was that he was associated with groups that shouted, shoved, and pushed around people with whom they disagreed; he edged his way onto the political stage through great oratory.

Conservative "losers" read it right now.

And there were the promises. Economic times were tough, people were losing jobs, and he was a great speaker. And he smiled and frowned and waved a lot. And people, even newspapers, were afraid to speak out for fear that his "brown shirts" would bully and beat them into submission. Which they did - regularly. And then, he was duly elected to office, while a full-throttled economic crisis bloomed at hand - the Great Depression. Slowly, but surely he seized the controls of government power, person by person, department by department, bureaucracy by bureaucracy. The children of German citizens were at first, encouraged to join a Youth Movement in his name where they were taught exactly what to think. Later, they were required to do so. No Jews of course,

How did he get people on his side? He did it by promising jobs to the jobless, money to the money-less, and rewards for the military-industrial complex. He did it by indoctrinating the children, advocating gun control, health care for all, better wages, better jobs, and promising to re-instill pride once again in the country, across Europe , and across the world. He did it with a compliant media - did you know that? And he did this all in the name of justice and .... . .. change. And the people surely got what they voted for.

If you think I am exaggerating, look it up. It's all there in the history books.

So read your history books. Many people of conscience objected in 1933 and were shouted down, called names, laughed at, and ridiculed. When Winston Churchill pointed out the obvious in the late 1930s while seated in the House of Lords in England (he was not yet Prime Minister), he was booed into his seat and called a crazy troublemaker. He was right, though. And the world came to regret that he was not listened to.

Do not forget that Germany was the most educated, the most cultured country in Europe . It was full of music, art, museums, hospitals, laboratories, and universities. And yet, in less than six years (a shorter time span than just two terms of the U. S. presidency) it was rounding up its own citizens, killing others, abrogating its laws, turning children against parents, and neighbors against neighbors.. All with the best of intentions, of course. The road to *** is paved with them.

As a practical thinker, one not overly prone to emotional decisions, I have a choice: I can either believe what the objective pieces of evidence tell me (even if they make me cringe with disgust); I can believe what history is shouting to me from across the chasm of seven decades; or I can hope I am wrong by closing my eyes, having another latte, and ignoring what is transpiring around me.

I choose to believe the evidence. No doubt some people will scoff at me, others laugh, or think I am foolish, naive, or both. To some degree, perhaps I am. But I have never been afraid to look people in the eye and tell them exactly what I believe---and why I believe it.

I pray I am wrong. I do not think I am. Perhaps the only hope is our vote in the next elections.

all this craziness sounds like a bunch of 10 year old boys picking on each other, too your rooms, all of you!! :grin

Guest

Did you know:

A. That the words "race car

" spelled backward still spells "race car"?

B. That "eat" is the only word that if you take the 1st letter and move it to the last, it spells its past tense "ate"?

C. And have you noticed that if you rearrange the letters in "illegal immigrants" and add just a few more letters, it spells out: "Go home you free-loading, benefit-grabbing, kid-producing, violent, non-English speaking *** and take those other hairy-faced, sandal-wearing, bomb-making, goat-loving, raggedy-*** bastards with you"?

How weird is that ???

Guest

oh yeah, by the way, the local police dept. doesn't care about business ordeals.

they don't have any jurisdiction to do anything about any of it. so contacting them would be a waste of time. just goes to show you how *** shannon is and how he thinks he knows about what he is talking about. who is charging spector freight with check fraud.

i'd like to know so i can call and verify this info. in fact, why don't you post something on here that would verify any of your accusations so we can all see what a liar you are, shannon, when you cannot post a single thread of evidence

Guest

der!!!you just said if anyone has any info then contact "us". well who is "us".

you never said. is it because this is shannon steede of freight88 and you don't want anyone to know that it is you posting these unbacked lies and you have already been warned about said lies by a lawyer and are going to be sued for deformation. don't forget shannon we have ways of finding IP addresses to match with comments from this site and any other site. you were asked by spector freights lawyers to provide them with proof of these accusations and you have come up with nothing, hence the deformation suit.

if spector freight is such a dishonest company then why did you ask mr bannano if he wanted to purchase freight88 from you? maybe you are pissed off because he said ' no way'. if you are such a stand-up and honest businessman then why would subject freight88 customers to the dishonest ways of spector freight? i'll tell you why....

because the only ***, lying, dirtball businessman here is YOU. proof has been provided on this and other websites of many of your wrongdoings, but you have been unable to back-up any of your accusations other than with the childish banter that you accuse everyone else of. mark my words shannon, YOU WILL PAY FOR ALL YOUR WRONGDOINGS. YOU CAN FLEE TO ANYWHERE YOU LIKE BUT WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE EYES.

WE WILL ALWAYS KNOW. WHO IS 'WE'. WELL I GUESS YOU'LL NEVER REALLY KNOW.

BUT REST ASSURED WE WILL BE TRACKING YOU. we know why globtrans stopped doing business with you and Elite will soon know about all the companies and people you have screwed and then they will have to decide whether or not they want to do business with you.

Members of Spector Freight Systems are being charged with Check fraud for invoices due several multiple freight companies.

If anyone has information about any of these people or have been scammed, please contact us or your local policed department right away. They have been found double and triple brokering freight and are not licensed to. They have been reported to the DOT for brokering without a license as well and several vendors have double broker clauses in load confirmations to avoid such scams. They have also been reported to the Bank of Scotland for using them as a vehicle to promote their illegal activity and to perform internation wire fraud. They have also defrauded by check issued on a closed bank account.

Below is some compiled information about their locations.

This just in, Shannon Steede, the well known scammer owner of Freight88.com has been recently baptized as a Jehovah's Witness. A fully documented file outlining all of Shannon Steede's scams and thefts is being sent to his Kingdom Hall and the Watchtower Society headquarters. Hopefully the Jehovah's Witnesses will put a stop to Shannon Steede scams, otherwise we will include them in our lawsuit for aiding and abetting a known criminal. Shannon Steede first scams hundreds of people, now he has scammed the good people of god and Jehovah himself. It seems Shannon Steede and Freight88 will go to great lengths to violate trust and integrity.

Will the elders in his Kingdom Hall steer him to righteousness? Will they stop him from lies and scams? Only time will tell.

One thing for sure, if they do nothing to stop him from lies and scams, they to will be suspect along with Shannon Steede
