It’s been rumored for the last hour that the house fire and plane crash were linked; though authorities have not confirmed. Nonetheless, a now single page website containing a rambling message from Joe Stack has been found.
Whois.com has the site registered to Stack at a San Marcos, TX address, a small college town about 30 minutes south of Austin. The site has been registered since 2003, and the registration records were last updated in 2006; so it would appear that this site was not created post crash as a hoax.
Austin News Channel 7 reports that a neighbor of the house that was burned confirmed that the house belong to a Joseph Andrew Stack III, who is a pilot who ownes his own plane.
The one page website has no banner, no sidebars, no buttons, and only a couple of links. Just black text on a white page (except a section of IRS tax code in red); and it ends with:
Joe Stack (1956-2010)
02/18/2010
Being a 7 year old site, one must believe that Stack deleted all other info he may have had on the site, and stripped it down to this one page to focus attention only on his final rating declaration.
If this is the actual pilot’s writings, he gives some insights into his motives, which seemed aimed at the IRS. The piece starts off with the words "If you’re reading this, you’re no doubt asking yourself, “Why did this have to happen?”
It then goes on later to say:
“My introduction to the real American nightmare starts back in the early ‘80s. Unfortunately after more than 16 years of school, somewhere along the line I picked up the absurd, pompous notion that I could read and understand plain English. Some friends introduced me to a group of people who were having ‘tax code’ readings and discussions. In particular, zeroed in on a section relating to the wonderful “exemptions” that make institutions like the vulgar, corrupt Catholic Church so incredibly wealthy. We carefully studied the law (with the help of some of the “best”, high-paid, experienced tax lawyers in the business), and then began to do exactly what the “big boys” were doing (except that we weren’t steeling from our congregation or lying to the government about our massive profits in the name of God). We took a great deal of care to make it all visible, following all of the rules, exactly the way the law said it was to be done.
The intent of this exercise and our efforts was to bring about a much-needed re-evaluation of the laws that allow the monsters of organized religion to make such a mockery of people who earn an honest living. However, this is where I learned that there are two “interpretations” for every law; one for the very rich, and one for the rest of us… Oh, and the monsters are the very ones making and enforcing the laws; the inquisition is still alive and well today in this country.
That little lesson in patriotism cost me $40,000+, 10 years of my life, and set my retirement plans back to 0. It made me realize for the first time that I live in a country with an ideology that is based on a total and complete lie. It also made me realize, not only how naive I had been, but also the incredible stupidity of the American public; that they buy, hook, line, and sinker, the crap about their “freedom”… and that they continue to do so with eyes closed in the face of overwhelming evidence and all that keeps happening in front of them.
Before even having to make a shaky recovery from the sting of the first lesson on what justice really means in this country (around 1984…”
