Michael Darland, Bellevue, WA.

98004 - Donor to FreedomWorks Resigned ex President of Digital Systems Precursor to Voice Link Mosaix & Avaya Would be promoter of Snocadia. From the sublime to the ridiculous - LOL! THE SUBLIME: Michael L. Darland seeks the limelight. With much fanfare, Darland donates a much publicized $250,000 to FreedomWorks in an effort to shape American politics with his money (ill gotten or not). In return for his donation to FreedomWorks, Michael Darland preys around hoping to land a job as US ambassador to Chile. Darland thinks he can curb Chinese expansion in the area. Check: www.snocadia-promoter-michael-l-darland.info The US Congress US Senate chapter of that web site gives an insight into Darlands machinations. THE RIDICULOUS: While Michael Darland throws away $250,000 in search of a soap box to promote his tax free Utopia for the wealthy, Darlands sister sweats it out as a retail clerk at a Home Depot in Astoria Oregon! While Michael Darland of the Bellevue 98004 area throws away $250,000 to a lost cause, his son Jed best tells the story of a fishing trip to Alaska gone sour over less than twenty five dollars. During that all expenses paid fishing trip, Jed decided to prepare a special meal to show his appreciation. Jed went to the local store where he paid a few dollars for a bottle of dressing to accompany what was meant to be a memorable fishing trip meal. Apparently, Michael Darland was so infuriated by such a minor expense that he berated poor Jed accusing him of squandering HIS money stupidly. The incident was so distasteful that Jed preferred to abandon the fishing trip. Faced with such irrational and pathetic behavior involving a few dollars, Jed dumped his dad in Alaska and flew back to Bellevue forthwith! After listening to Jeds sad story, should anyone wonder why it is reported that friends will only go on fishing trips with Darland on condition Darland pays their full fare! Yet, Michael Darland, an ordinary American citizen, the ex-president of Digital Systems, who resigned shortly after facing allegations of fraud personally, feels qualified to criticize the successfully twice elected American President. At least, the money Darland threw at the Republicans bought him a platform if not a job and no matter what a fool he makes of himself Darland intends to use that soap box.

On October 23, 2012 I asked the question: Is Michael L. Darland an asset or a liability to FreedomWorks? http://www.scribd.com/doc/110891348/Michael-L-Darland-Bellevue-Can-an-Old-Fast-Agingand-Cunning-Leopard-Change-It-s-Spots-in-Time-Prior-to-Meeting-It-s-Maker THE ANSWER: Post november 2012 election results reveal that: Mike Darland's $ 250,000 has deservedly gone down the plug hole; Down the plug hole also went Michael L. Darland's misplaced hopes to land any kind of a job as an ambassador to Chile or as transport secretary in exchange for his most unusual, once in a life time, contribution of $250,000 to FreedomWorks. Did Michael L. Darland learn anything from his failure and shattered hopes? CHANGE! Yes we can! Proudly proclaims our brilliant re-elected American President. CHANGE! Never could I. Michael Darland stubbornly and inanely proclaims in interviews. That is a true to form Darland. William Popp of William Popp and Associates, aka Bill Popp, Darlands long time neighbor and convenient Yes Man, describes Darlands character as follows: Mike rarely admits he was wrong about anything. Thus Darland continues to ignore the popular vote in his post elections vain statements to the media. Time magazine has applauded President Obama and deservedly named the American President: Man of the Year for the second time! To the same extent that President Obama is considered to be the symbol and the architect of a new America IMHO Michael L. Darland is the personification of an archaic, pass, defunct and happily interred America! The one of the old clich: The Ugly American. President Obamas stage is the whole world. From the oval office the President commands much respect internationally and feels at ease with world citizens. By sharp contrast, Michael Darland gives the impression that his stage is limited to his belly button environment! Come on baby Darland! At 70 years old, isnt it time you grow up and act your age?

Would you not like to feel that you have a warm ticking pulse? Admittedly to experience that feeling, you would have to first cut off that twisted umbilical chord that has tied you so tightly and solely to your purse. Understandably, since this is all you have ever known and fed on, you may never have the courage to reinvent yourself. But please believe that there is a lot more to life and a lot more than just you and your dollars in this world. Media reports confirm Popps assessment of Darlands small mind: LOL at Michael Darlands quotes below: On February 3 2012, The Seattle times quoted Michael L. Darland: "Darland said he was attracted to FreedomWorks free-market viewpoint he opposes the minimum wage among other government regulations and donated after receiving a phone call from the group's president. (Dick Armey.) After wasting $250,000 in vain hope of iffy benefits and a possible tax write off, and after the debacle of FreedomWorks, and the Republican Party last November, on December 6, 2012, Bloomberg.com reports Michael Darland to be still entrenched in his ways stating: http://go.bloomberg.com/political-capital/2012-12-06/tea-party-inc-think-tank-pac-roil/ I didnt become interested in them (FreedomWorks) because of Matt Kibbe or Dick Armey (President) or anyone else. I liked what they stood for, and what they still stand for, (losing platforms). I have every reason to believe they still share my ideals of limited government and less taxes. On Wednesday October 31, KUOW.org reported: The biggest donor in the 98004 area is Michael Darland of Bellevue. The retired tech entrepreneur now owns high-end fly-fishing lodges in Chile. He and his wife have given $250,000 to Freedomworks for America. That's a super PAC associated with the Tea Party movement. KUOW.org then went on to cite Michael L. Darland: "I believe right now more than ever in my life, (revolving strictly around my belly button) and I just turned 70, that my freedoms and liberty's being threatened," Darland says, "by a government that doesn't seem to believe the same sorts of things that I believe the Constitution says. (Even about Free Speech?) Check out: www.freespeech-internetcontrol.com

Michael Darland of Bellevue goes on to say that he has given money to the nonprofit arm of the FreedomWorks for America super PAC, but he declined to say how much. (Is this a joke) "I don't disclose what I don't have to," Darland says. (Understandably so How embarrassing would it all be!) http://www.kuow.org/post/map-washingtons-biggest-spenders-trying-influence-2012-elections However Darlands above statement is very much in keeping with someone's opinion that: Michael L Darland is good at thieving - best at covering up his tracks... All the above statements speak to the delusions of grandeur of Michael L. Darland and his pursuit of the ephemeral "sublime" even when drowned by the ridiculous. BEST WISHES for 2013: Foremost New Yearss resolution: Reinvent yourself Michael All of Michael L. Darlands victims should pray that Darland can finally admit his mistakes. That Darland finds the Way, the Light and the Truth. For, that alone, will enable Darland to stop being so self centered, so vain and so foolhardy. That alone can cause Darland to experience a change of heart. Only then will Michael L. Darland reap the joyful benefits of true contrition and thru timely reparation face eternal Justice without fear. PRAYERS for Michael & Myrna Darland for 2013: Michael Darlands greed cost me all I had worked for and trusted him with... Unfortunately, Darlands love of money has not only irreparably damaged countless people but it has impacted his family life and children negatively Therefore, all of Darlands victims should join together to pray that Darlands greed does not end up costing him his eternity Otherwise, IMHO, no matter how big a soap box Darland buys on earth, it will never be slippery enough to help Darland slide into heaven Foes, Few Friends (if any), stockholders, betrayed investors, hired guns such as Darlands pathetic Lawyers Douglas Nicholson and Jeff Slothower of Ellensburg, family members and

ex employees (abused or not) should all join in on New Years Eve to pray for a happy New Year 2013 for Michael & Myrna Darland and their family. To attain true meaningful happiness, Michael Darland is encouraged to read and re-read The Sermon on the Mount often throughout the New Year. In a spirit of True Forgiveness our Friendly Suggestion is: Meditate daily long and hard on the words of Jesus: Happy the peacemakers: they shall be called sons of God Happy those who hunger and thirst for what is right: they shall be satisfied Rejoice and be glad for your reward will be great in heaven All Praise and Glory be to God Allelluia
