15 Year Old Boy Survived 3 days in Visayas sea

January 2011 - MANILA (AFP) – A 15-year-old Philippine schoolboy who was sent alone to sea by his grandmother to fish survived three days adrift after his boat engine failed, local authorities said Friday.

The hungry, thirsty and exhausted boy, sixth-grader Mark Sanico, washed ashore aboard his tiny dugout in the central city of Danao on Thursday, and is recovering at a local hospital, police officer Cherry Panares told AFP.

"He was very weak. He had had no food or drink for three days. He said he had some boiled ground corn, but it spoiled early so he had nothing to eat," Panares told AFP by telephone.

The big waves meant he could not cast his net out to get food, she added.

Clad only in a shirt and shorts, the boy told police the boat had drifted at least 90 kilometres (56 miles) across the Camotes Sea from his coastal hometown of Villaba on Leyte island without any other mariner noticing his plight.

The boy told police he saw only another fishing boat on Wednesday and no other vessels, but the other fisherman apparently did not see him when he waved for help, Panares said.

She praised the boy's resilience, saying a life spent in poverty had probably ensured his survival.

"He's one tough kid. That's probably what saved him," said Panares, head of the Danao police women and children's section.

The boy told police his mother left him to his grandparents a few months after he was born.

He said his grandmother sent him off to sea early on Monday when he should have been at school because they needed fish to eat.

"They are very poor. The municipal government had to give bus fare to his grandmother so she could come here to pick up her grandson," Panares said.

"He looked a lot better today and is laughing again. I told him jokes so he would not feel down. He just wants to go back home."

Breaking Invicible Shackles Of IRS - Sherry Peel Jackson

Sherry Peel Jackson, Certified Fraud Examiner and Ex-IRS agent. She Challenges all citizens to demand answers from congress about the legality of Federal Income taxes and the Federal Reserve. This is a 2 hour lecture about some of the inner secrets of the IRS, and the fundamental lack of juridical framework that supports it.

For over 2 years now and on 4 separate occasions the We The People Foundation has sponsored meetings in Washington D.C. to try to bring together in one place various tax researchers from across the nation and IRS officers in order to discuss the alarming conclusions reached by the tax researchers that there is no bona fide law that required most Americans who live in the 50 states to file and pay the so called income tax.

Deciphering The Federal Income Tax Law

Sherry Peel Jackson was sentenced to 4 years in prison because she was a former IRS Whistleblower and exposed that the federal government was abusing taxpayers by using Gestapo tactics on the weak and poor and giving exemptions and making deals with others.

Once you blow the whistle in this country—you will always have a target on your back. A couple of years before her trial --her home in Stone Mountain, GA, was raided by up to 20 IRS Agents and Police Officers which lasted an entire day. They had watched Sherry a few days earlier make over 300 copies of DVDs which she was getting ready to sell/distribute throughout the country.

Even though Sherry had traveled around the country with up to 6 other IRS Whistleblowers giving lectures and seminars, exposing IRS (www.IRS.gov) --she was the only African American and she was the only person who served any time in prison.

Sherry failed to file income taxes for 4 years because she had done her research that revealed…that it was not necessary to file income taxes in this country. She knew for a fact that many people in USA did not file income taxes.

NOTE:
She was about to be released last Feb 15.2010. See updates here.

3 teens Survived 50 days - Rescued in South Pacific

WELLINGTON, New Zealand — Three teens who have been missing in the South Pacific for 50 days — and were already eulogized in a memorial service — have been found alive by a New Zealand fishing boat.

The boys — two 15-year-olds and a 14-year-old — disappeared while attempting to row between two islands in the New Zealand territory of Tokelau in early October 2010 and were given up for dead after an extensive search involving the country's air force.

Their craft had drifted 800 miles (1,300 kilometers) to a desolate part of the Pacific northeast of Fiji, when the crew of a tuna boat saw them frantically waving for help on Wednesday afternoon.

"In a physical sense, they look very physically depleted, but mentally ... very high," Tai Fredricsen, first mate of the San Nikuna, told New Zealand Radio on Thursday.

The rescue came not a moment too soon: Fredricsen said they had begun to drink sea water because it hadn't rained in the past few nights.

Local media also reported that the boys survived by eating a seagull that had landed on their boat.

Fredricsen said the boys were dehydrated, sunburned and very thin, but otherwise seemed OK. The tuna boat's crew gave them small portions of fruit and fluids.

The boys will be taken to a hospital in the Fijian capital of Suva on Friday.
