Emma Beverage Biography

I was born and raised in Roswell, NM and yes, I believe that the alien crash of '47' is true. We had so many weather balloons in that area that even as a child we knew what a weather balloon was. Therefore, the claims by the military that a military trained man could mistake a weather balloon for an alien craft are ludicrous.

I drove an eighteen wheeler for thirty-five years. I enjoyed my trucking career until it reached the point that we were being pushed so hard that we were not supposed to stop to get a shower everyday.

At that point I decided that a mule has sense enough to know when they have done enough work. A mule will stop, refusing to work any more when they feel that they have worked enough. Nothing the farmer can do will make the mule continue to work if the mule decides that they are through working. I decided that I was at least as smart as a mule and I decided to start doing civil disobedience.

I refused to cooperate in my own enslavement. I had also listened to the guys complain for years but they did not seem capable of organizing effectively to do anything about the work conditions. I decided to do what was right on my own and not wait for the guys to organize. I was an excellent driver so it took them about fifteen years but they did eventually get me blackballed because of my 'attitude! ' My bad attitude was and is the same kind of 'attitude' that made this country in the first place. “Give me liberty or give me death! ”

I have moved on and am working on my associate’s degree at Rose State College, where I am an 'Honor' student.

I am also taking the documentation that I put together over the last twenty years of my trucking career and I am writing a book about my trucking experiences and the kinds of things that trucking companies do to drivers who will not conform. The things that they do to drivers in their efforts to force them to conform are unbelievable.

I want to get people started talking openly about this issue. I know the guys think that they must live up to the code of silence because they are afraid of losing their careers if they speak up. A very real fear based in that fact that that is exactly what will happen to the first brave souls who stand their ground.

But they cannot silence and intimidate everyone forever. I urge the drivers to trust your Higher Power will provide and speak up anyway. Your silence does not protect you, it protects your abusers! Drivers are not the only persons who can speak to this issue. Waitresses who must serve the drivers who come into their places of work smelling like they are homeless can also testify that this is happening. Dock hands who deal with drivers every day can speak up and help to expose the American public to the fact that slavery is alive and well and flourishing in the American trucking industry right here in America today.

Ex driver’s who respected themselves enough to go find a job that treated them better can still speak up about their experiences in trucking. I cannot be the only person in the United States that see’s that slavery is thriving in the United States today. Employees in truck stops all across America can help to expose the duplicity of our government invading a country, crying out “Freedom” while enslaving their own citizens! People who know the truth, I implore you, SPEAK UP!
