The Colbert Minority Report

The Best Company to Work For in 2011

2011-01-15T20:27:00.024-06:00

It's NOT Facebook ... It's NOT Google ... It's NOT Goldman Sachs ... It's NOT Serco.

The Best Company to Work For in 2011 is POORandyx Corp. It's a code named corporation. It stands for "Point Of Origin XY-DNAr proC." (XY=XX) so (X=Y) or (0,0) --> |0|

COMPANY FOUNDATION: "The Hands of Governments DO NOT Change the World, the Hands of Billions DO" - Randy Colbert

The Company's Mantra --> "Prosperity is the result of healthy circulation of currency where the vast majority have robust purchasing power. When wealth fails to circulate but is dammed up by a concentration at the top, the economy falls and results in depression or severe recession. When the rich accumulate an overwhelming portion of the wealth, their house of cards comes tumbling down because there remains few to buy the goods sold by the wealthy to sustain the lifestyle." - John Maynard Keynes

The Company's Warning --> "By a continuing process of inflation, governments can and do confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." – John Maynard Keynes

Since time immemorial, the bulk of ALL knowledge has passed from one generation to the next in the form of stories. It is the only sure way knowledge transcends time.

That being said, I will start with a story we all should know. It's called "The Three Little Pigs." Although we all learned this story as children, the true genius of this story is how it was really meant for adults but 99% of adults did not see past the simple imagery of the children's story.

The story is time scalable which means it can be understood in the time of pioneers or it can be understood in the present day. The trick is reading between the lines with your imagination.

I will not retell the story again here. There are only three things one needs to know:

1) straw bales are cheap
2) wood is more expensive
3) bricks are even more expensive
bonus) resources recovered from someones junk or the dump are priceless

A 20,000 square foot house built out of straw bales costs $100,000.00 It would be hard and expensive to heat such a big space, weather would be a problem and it would be very susceptible to fire.
A 10,000 square foot house built of wood costs $100,000.00 It would be hard and expensive to heat with no insulation, weather might cause some problems although it would not be as susceptible to fire as straw bales.
A 5,000 square foot house built of brick costs $100,000.00 It would be hard and expensive to heat with no insulation as well, weather should not cause problems and it would not be susceptible to fire as straw bales.

Now a 1,000 square foot house built of brick, insulated with straw bales, and lined with wood would cost $50,000.00 It would be cheap and easy to heat, stand up to the weather and not be as susceptible to fire. It would be comfortable.

The moral of the story; be creative with the resources around you and live within your means. You'll be a lot more comfortable in life.

Now to explain: "The Best Company to Work For in 2011"

In June 1967 a young man started a company out of the cardboard box he lived in on a vacant lot he inherited from an Uncle who died of Aids the previous winter. The young man's name was Randy and he had just that spring, at the age of 15, been thrown out of his parents house for being an atheist. His parents were extremely religious Baptists and about as compassionate to "outsiders" as German Nazi's were to Jews'.

Growing up on a farm enabled Randy to develop a few skills that came in handy when he got the boot. He could do basic plumbing, electric, carpentry and a bit of mechanical repair but his cooking skills lacked something to be desired.

He had a friend that managed the local dump and that dump was a gold mine for one to find odds and ends that could be put to good use cheap.

Randy found enough resources in that dump to build himself a shack. It more or less resembled a glorified cardboard box on his inherited lot but it was very comfortable to live in. He built a fully functioning washroom/shower and kitchen and a little space for his bed and desk. The curb side appeal was limited but it suited Randy and his ambitions quite well.

When word got out in town and the community what happened to Randy, people started stopping by his shack offering him small amounts of cash to help him out. First it started as a trickle of people then it turned into a steady stream of people coming by with money. Randy finally started telling them he didn't need their money and if they were honestly interested in helping him they could "donate" (not tax deductible) their money to his new business corporation "POORandyx". Over time people stopped coming by and the "donations" eventually ceased. Although the money coming from strangers into the company stopped soon employees of the company started building its foundation of wealth.

Randy was also somewhat of a computer aficionado. He spent endless hours learning and practicing using every kind of software he could get his hands on. spreadsheets, word processing, CADD design etc. He took the Canadian Securities Course and began investing every dollar he could get his hands on in the market. Over the years of pumping as much money as he could into his investment business corporation, he grew it exponentially to where it was producing so much interest income the tax man was getting 1/2 of it. Being the creative and cheap person that he was Randy decided to help some of the less fortunate than himself and help himself at the same time. This all came together when the internet came on the scene in 1992.

Randy put up job banners (here and there) across the internet. He recruited in flop houses, homeless shelters and soup kitchens across the country and around the world.

The concept was simple math. If a company earns $2,000,000 in interest / year and that income is taxed at the rate of 50% then $1,000,000 goes to government (which they more often than not waste) and benefits very few. But if 1,000 poor people agree to give back 50% of what they earn from the company if they are "hired" as money managers of the companies money for $2,000 each, everyone benefits. The company still gets its $1,000,000 to fund growth and 1,000 people get to earn and keep the other $1,000,000 (or $1,000 each) instead of the government getting it in taxes and wasting it on government bureaucracy. The company now has a workforce of 1,000 people to do something productive to burn up the $1,000 each person gets of the otherwise government's tax money. 1,000 poor people paid $1,000 to do something has to be better for the community and society than the government getting the $1,000,000 and doing little or nothing in return for the community.

Since we all get up, eat, live, piss/crap, and sleep 365 days a year, let us use this as our guide. Each employee will work 1 hour per day for the Company 365 days a year. They each get $10 per hour as pay or $300 or $310 dollars pay per month (Feb $280).

Over the years Randy found a lot of people are NOT very good at GIVING their shit away ... be it; money, unused junk, unused furniture, unused clothing, unused food stuffs. People in general hoard their crap until they die. Then more often than not the relatives get involved and haul most of it to the dump or hoard it themselves until their death.

To work for POORandyx one must learn to give back much more than one can imagine giving and at first it is not easy. $10 earned --> $6 donated (CPP/EI/POORandyx) Where does the money donated to POORandyx go? It is pooled, pooled and pooled again and then used to buy gold bullion which is used as collateral to borrow large sums of money cheaply anywhere in the world to buy out companies all over the world that are making boat loads of money. The income generated by each persons donations is attributed back to each persons money manager earnings. POORandyx does NOT skim off 1.5% to 3% "management fees" as mutual funds ALL do. POORandyx's objective is to earn $1 of income per year per employee. With a target of 6,000,000,000 employees in mind, POORandyx should do fine.

The 1 hour they work per day is their choice. The remaining hours of the day will be UNPAID training. All training hours are optional but encouraged in the beginning year.

The Company hires poor people and over time helps train and turn them into the wealthy.

The Company started off sorta like an "Internet Cafe" but the customers are the employees. Each employee rents a computer for the hour they work per day. All training hours spent on the computer are free*. Each employee rents space in the company's building for the hour they work per day. All training space is rent free*. Priority for space is given to working employees over training employees.

Free* --> nothing in life is free, someone is ALWAYS paying for it in the end

As employees gained knowledge into how to play the game to their advantage, they train to open new company "Internet Cafe" buildings around the world. Soon being an accomplished worker at POORandyx Corp brings additional work hours from other companies around the world. POORandyx Corp gets their employees foot in the door of other opportunities.

Building the Wealth of Nations - 2009

2010-04-26T21:16:00.002-05:00

Written for those that think the wealthiest 1 percent should be taxed to the hilt!

I am a "one percenter". That means I live on less than 1 percent of my yearly income. I have been a "one percenter" all my life. I made $12 million (USA dollars) net income in 2009. I re-invested 99 percent of what I didn't spend. I pay personal tax on the 1 percent I live on but I pay zero tax on the remaining 99 percent that is re-invested and there is a reason why.

I started out in life at zero net worth. My net worth has grown exponentially since then.

Here is the trick I used: Many many years ago I learned the more you make the more you get taxed. A year or two of getting taxed at 46.222 percent woke me up. I hated paying tax on money I was trying to put to work to make more money so I thought about it awhile and came up with a plan.

I started a company (ABC) in 1967 and hired the poorest people I could find. I had them sign secrecy and confidentiality agreements and then trained them in basic finance. The tax code entitles everyone to earn a certain amount of income tax free. The next dollar earned beyond that is subject to income tax at some rate.

I agreed to pay my employees their full tax free earned income amount if they agreed to claim the income on their tax return and also agreed to re-invest 99 percent of the total back into the company. They were allowed to keep 1 percent of the money to live on.

The first years produced next to nothing for them to live on as their 1 percent share amounted to very little but the 99 percent that was re-invested in the company was put to work immediately. Employees were encouraged to work at anything they could find (ie waitress, farmhand, etc) to make money but try to make it under the table because every single dollar earned above the table would now be taxed. It was their choice how they chose to earn what they needed to live on in the early years.

After about 10 years of investing and re-investing each employees tax free income allotment each year in the company, the 1 percent share was soon big enough that each employee could notice a difference.

Employees were also slowly trained in the art of frugality. The yearly carrying costs of a McMansion are 10,000 times higher than living in a glorified cardboard box like the one Warren Buffet lives in. Live within your means ... far within your means.

I started out with 1 employee, then there were 2, then there were 4, then there were 8 ... etc. We now have 1,000 employees. $12,000,000 net income / 1,000 employees = $12,000 per employee

As employees reached and surpassed 10 yrs with the company, the percentage they could keep of the income they claimed each year increased by 1 percent per year. ie. at 20 years, each employee could keep 11 percent of the income claimed and it got better as more years passed

Employees of the company were also trained to USE the knowledge the company taught them to help themselves throughout their lives.

……………………

The above story is based on "trickle up economics" verses "trickle down economics" that failed.

It is also based on "the cookie test" economic theorem. A group of 5 yr old's were each put in a room and given 2 choices. They could have 1 cookie immediately or wait until the instructor came back and get 2 cookies.

The children that held out for 2 cookies did far better in careers and financially in life than the other children.

Do you understand why?

www.POORandy.com (POORandy - Point Of Origin Randy) I live in a cardboard box

2009-09-25T20:55:00.001-05:00

www.POORandy.com (POORandy - Point Of Origin Randy)

As I was walking down the street one day I noticed a man living in a cardboard box. It looked like the man had drawn a Sudoku puzzle on the side of his cardboard box home. I recognized the code hidden in the puzzle instantly. I stopped to talk to the man. Within minutes of talking to the man I knew he was far to articulate and intelligent to be living in a cardboard box due to lack of resources. I asked if I could help him with anything. He said, I have a big enough house, I have more than enough food and clothing, and I have a computer with access to the internet. What I don't have is enough helpful hands to change the world. I said, is there something my hands could do to help? He said, if I asked you to drive to Dallas, Texas, U.S.A. for something but I only gave you a road map of Canada, could you find your way there on your own? I said, yes.

He reached into his cardboard box home and retrieved a small cardboard box. As he handed the small box to me, I suddenly realized it was surprisingly heavy for its size. I opened the box and a gold sphere was inside. He said, the sphere is pure gold and weighs exactly 1 kg (kilogram). Please don't lose, sell or steal the box or the sphere, it is the Point Of Origin and foundation from which wealth is built.

You are aware that 1% of the world's population own 95% of the wealth of the world! The world's accumulated wealth can never exceed 100%. Any one persons % of the total is calculated the same way; their wealth divided by the total accumulated wealth of the world. The only way to change your current position on the "poor" to "wealthy" spectrum is to DO IT YOURSELF. Investing 99% of your yearly income (using your own common sense) will in only a few years generate more than you need to live on (and then some) for the rest of your lifetime.

Living on 1% of your yearly income is HARD at the poor end of the spectrum eg. (52 weeks x 5 days/week x 8 hours/day x minimum wage ($9.00/hr)) = $18,720.00 x 1% = $187.20 / year

but $1,000,000,000.00 ($1 billion) x 1% = $10,000,000.00 ($10 million) / year is EASY to live on.

Living on 1% of your yearly income is likely unworkable but at the other end of that spectrum are those that live paycheck to paycheck. They spend 100% of their yearly income. Those people make up 99% of the population on earth. It's time to WAKE UP!

"Poor" people don't GIVE their money away easily and neither do "wealthy" people.

If you want to own some of the world's wealth, you need to buy it from those that own it. Derivatives were false wealth.

1percenters, 1%ers, one percenters are you ONE of them?

2009-09-19T13:01:00.006-05:00

Fact: 1 percent of the population owns 95% of the wealth of the world

Why? Because living on 1% of what you earn every year is HARD if you earn "only" (52 weeks x 5 days/week x 8 hours/day x minimum wage ($9.00/hr)) = $18,720.00 x 1% = $187.20 but living on 1% x $1,000,000,000.00 (1 billion) = $10,000,000.00/year is EASY.

The worlds wealth is limited to 100% (no more and no less) at any given time. Who owns what percentage at any given time is determined by how much wealth each of the population owns divided by the accumulated total.

If one saved(invested) 99% of what they earned every year and lived on 1% like the "1percenters" then they would eventually become one of the 1% that own 95% of the world's wealth also.

The "poor" don't give away their AMOUNT of wealth easily and neither do the "wealthy"!

So the only way to move from the "poor" end of the spectrum to the "wealthy" end of the spectrum is to DO IT YOURSELF. Are you a 1%er or a 2%er or a 3%er ... etc. Do you even know from n = 1 to 100 which n%er you are? This year?, Last year?, the year before that?

No one starts off as a 1%er. They earn their way there.

Those that live paycheck to paycheck are 93%ers and the 7% missing is collected (compulsorily, obligatorily, mandatorily or in a manner that cannot be evaded) by the government (think CPP: 3.5% employee + 3.5% employer). Why? Because "paycheck to paycheck"ers are like drug addicts; No amount of money PUT in their hands would ever be enough. I think these type of fools are running the country! We need more and more TAXES, they say, to keep the government going! They do need tax dollars every year to fund the government but their percentage of GNP (Gross National Product) should NOT rise it should fall. As a country's collective wealth rises the government's tax dollar needs should decline as a percent of GNP or at the very least stay the same.

I live in a "cardboard box" (metaphor). Zero rent, zero property taxes, zero hydro, zero telephone, zero for internet. I live on less than 1% of my yearly income. I live within $15,000.00 so I invest the other 99% or $1,485,000.00 (minus taxes) buying up the world's wealth every year.

I started as a 60%er the moment I got my FIRST job at 14 years old. I was down to a 1%er in 10 years. Thank "God:dog" because I was in a truck accident when I was 24 years old that left me paralyzed from the chest down(a quadriplegic).

If I want something, I buy it, the problem is I want very little. When you change the way you think and use money, your priorities in life change as well.

A famous quote that has resonated within me all my life is: "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, but teach a man to fish and you've helped feed him for a lifetime."

Letter of Intent

2009-04-23T12:35:00.000-05:00

2009 Valley Lions Project

I have been thinking about this for awhile and I am finally going to do something about it. There is a “shipping container” (I think) for sale at Eisner’s Sale on April 25, 2009. I intend to buy it for the project explained below.

Seeds for your "Garden of Eden" from Lions Clubs around the World

2009-04-19T21:12:00.007-05:00

For several years I have been "in charge" of buying the candy for our Lions Santa Party at the local skating rink.

Since I am cheap, I WAITED until the day AFTER Halloween and then I would buy a huge amount of the Halloween candy put on sale (usually fire sale prices) by the grocery stores in the area. I would store the candy for a few months then our Lions club would get a group together and bag the candy for the Lions Santa Party. One of our members would dress up as Santa and hand out the bags of candy to the kids at the rink on Santa Party day.

I got thinking the other day of the people I read about EATING DIRT in Haiti to stay alive and curb their hunger. I finally made the connection between the "candy project" and the Haiti problem and how I could use one to help the other.

Every spring the stores around town arm themselves with "gardening seed displays" galore. These displays have seeds for anything and everything a gardener could imagine wanting to grow; vegetables, fruits, nuts, grains, flowers, shrubs, trees etc.

At the end of planting season there are huge amounts of these seeds NOT SOLD. They go on sale but much of the seed is never sold. So the Lions Club buys ALL the left over seeds at fire sale prices in bulk quantity from ALL the stores in the area.

Our Lions Club orders a shipping container. We pack it with ALL the seeds we collected and all the other items we assembled that would be useful and well received by the destination country. We then ship the container to a Lions Club in the destination country. Those Lions then use their best judgment in distributing the contents of the shipping container. Haiti was the 1st destination chosen by our Lions Club and here is why.

Haiti's poorest reduced to EATING DIRT
http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,23126063-1702,00.html

EXTREME poverty is forcing Haiti's poorest people to eat dirt.

Mud cookies - made from dirt, salt and vegetable shortening - have become popular among Haitians desperate to stave off hunger, the Associated Press reports.

The cookies - which are occasionally used by pregnant women and children as an antacid and source of calcium - have become a regular meal.

Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere and one of the most disadvantaged in the world.

Seventy-six per cent of the population lives on less than $2.25 a day, and 55 per cent live on less than $1.13 a day.

Chronic malnutrition is widespread and diarrhea - an easily-preventable disease - kills one in five children under the age of five.

Haitian doctors have warned that relying on the mud cookies will lead to malnutrition.

“Trust me, if I see someone eating those cookies, I will discourage it,” said Gabriel Thimothee, executive director of Haiti’s health ministry.

The mud cookies sell for around five cents each, compared to 60 cents for two cups of rice.

Hopefully the gardening seeds will produce enough food for everyone in the receiving destination that no one will ever go hungry again.

We must all learn to work in our own little "Gardens of Eden".

Fruit Roll-up - Lions Club Twinning - World Hunger

2009-04-15T11:32:00.003-05:00

I was contacted by email about a project to "twin" Lions Clubs around the world. Two Lions Clubs from different parts of the world would make contact and form a partnership to start sharing information between themselves.

I was thinking about Lions Clubs that operate in areas of the world where food, housing, education, and fun are in short supply. Fruit roll-ups came to mind. If you think of fruit roll-ups like pages in a book or a binder. A group could assemble education stuff by writing on the roll-ups then put them in a binder for kids in the destination country. The kids learn what's written on the roll-ups about the host country then the kids eat the roll-ups. With container shipping organized to a fine art now, a group of Lions Clubs in a "rich" country could each participate in assembling the food/education binders with the help of school children and filling and shipping a container destined for a "poor" country and have it managed by Lions Clubs at the receiving end.

The container could contain anything the giving Lions Clubs could collect that might be well needed and well received at the destination country.

Living in a "Glorified Cardboard Box" with internet service

2009-04-13T14:17:00.003-05:00

I have for the last 17 years lived in a "Glorified Cardboard Box" with internet service. Instead of working 40 hours a week to make ends meet I work 1 hour a week and have fun with the other 39+ hours. I make sure I get paid well for the 1 hour a week that I work.

I sit in the most comfortable "chair" in the world with my computer and internet in front of me. There are very few personal material possessions I want or need but access to high speed fiber optic internet is one of them.

I buy all the clothes I need or want from Value Village or the Salvation Army etc. And that means my entire wardrobe was cheap! My transportation is a horse. He is cheap on fuel and fun to ride. I live right across the street from a grocery store, a bank, a hospital and a park. I have a plane at the airport to take me anywhere I want to go. I don't physically go very far but on the internet I travel all over the world instantly.

I bought my "cardboard box" that I live in with cash. Mortgages are only for things that will make you money. ie. a business, stock investments, etc. A home does NOT make you any money. It is a dead horse or a burden on anyone that owns one. The bigger they are more expensive they are to maintain and look after. If you live within your means, you will understand that all "cardboard boxes" are the same except for the price tag on them.

I belong to "the Point of Origin Club". It is the most powerful secret organization in the world. It connects the most powerful people on earth together through a neural network. The feed back loop of what everyone is doing comes through all media sources. ie. T.V., internet, ratio, text messaging, cell phone, newspapers, magazines etc.

fiber optic cables and marbles

2009-03-01T18:52:00.002-06:00

Imagine glue gunning fiber optic cable fibers to ordinary children's marbles. The marbles accumulate into clusters of grapes and when these grape bunches are put to work out in the sunlight, they drive huge amounts of sunlight down the fiber optic cables. Extrapolating from one cable rapped around the globe the light from the daytime side of the earth can light the night time side of the earth. The light travels at the speed of light to everywhere.

The more and more light collectors added to the system the more and more light power the system will produce. Thinking exponentially, the days of oil, coal etc powering the earth are numbered. All points along the system can be built simultaneously.

Combine light, energy, telephone, internet, media distribution (movies) all together in one system and the recipe ends up cheap, cheap, cheap.

Just the way I love to live my life.

crop circles have a purpose

2009-02-28T20:25:00.004-06:00

Crop circles are the preselected locations of where humans will build gravity wells and solar power collection stations around the globe.

After huge multi-government co-operation is established, huge fiber optic cables will link all locations on earth with fiber optic light centered energy distribution solar power stations. As some stations go off line as they and the earth turn away from the sun other will come on line into the sun. Light traveling at light speed within the fiber optic distribution grid will be available anywhere on earth instantly as needed.

Using E=mc^2 everyone can convert the light to electrical energy at the destination.

decoding the World

2009-02-22T19:03:00.001-06:00

To decode something properly one must first start at the bottom and work their way to the top.

I went to elementary school in a village 7 miles from our farm. I then went to high school in a town 13 miles from our farm. I then went to university 330 miles away from our farm. I then returned to the farm where I was born to make a good life for myself within the 33 mile monkey sphere community surrounding our farm.

I learned to garden 7 steps from the farm house. I then learned to grow commercial seed on plots and animal husbandry 13 steps from the house. I then learned full scale agriculture 330 steps away from the farm at university.

My first farm was 7 acres in size. My 2nd farm was 13 acres in size. My 3rd farm was 33 acres in size. My 4th farm was 1089 acres in size. And so on to infinite but I wasn’t farming I was running a Fortune 500 company. The companies I ran were spread across the spectrum; small and poorly run:large and poorly run to small and expertly run:large and expertly run.

decoding the NWO - New World Order

2009-02-15T16:48:00.006-06:00

This article is written in a coded mix (codex) of facts and metaphors to build a matrix in your head necessary to understand the concept and reasoning behind the NWO - New World Order in development around the world.

To decode something properly one must first start at the bottom and work their way to the top.

I went to elementary school in a village about 7 miles from our farm. I then went to high school in a town about 13 miles away from our farm. I then went to university 330 miles away from our farm. (the 7, 13, 330 are Freemason codes) Then I returned to the farm to make a great life for myself within the 33 mile monkey sphere of where I live.

In 1991 a farming accident put me in a wheelchair. In 1992 I got a computer and got on the internet and learned to read and write inside the library Andy Dufrense built in Shawshank Prison because I was illiterate (I was one of those kids that fell through the cracks of the education system.) In 2001 I by happenstance found myself in the Little Sisters book store in Vancouver, BC, Canada where a woman by the name of Claudette Osborne handed me a book she thought I had dropped. I was about to tell her she was mistaken when the title caught my eye and I knew I had to read this book. This was the first book I read in my life and I was now at the age of 33. The information within the book changed my life. In November 2008 while under house arrest for sending a coded letter to society that was misunderstood, I, for reasons I can't explain, was compeled to look up the author's name of the book I had read in 1999, I was shocked to learn that I had written the book. I shared this information with no one.

In 2004 I was reading the news on the internet and I came across an article on the coming Comdex convension in Las Vegas. I didn't know why but I was compelled like gold to a treassure hunter to go to that convention. The moment I entered the convension hall in Las Vegas I knew I was in the wrong place. In Febuary 2009 while reading the news online, I recognized the key in Comdex that I misunderstood in 2004. The key was Codex not Comdex.

"Codex Leicester, Italy

Leonardo da Vinci, the Renaissance artist, scientist, and thinker, wrote the Codex Leicester in Milan between 1506 and 1510 on 18 loose, double-sided sheets of linen paper. The manuscript is named after Englishman Thomas Coke, the Earl of Leicester, whose family owned it from 1717 to 1980. The codex records Leonardo's thoughts in sepia ink on a variety of topics, from astronomy to hydrology, and it includes dozens of his sketches, drawings, and diagrams. Only 31 of Leonardo's original manuscripts survive today—about a third, scholars believe, of those he likely wrote in his lifetime.

The notebooks are distinctive because they feature rare examples of Leonardo's use of "mirror writing," which he wrote from right to left and backwards. Experts are not sure why Leonardo used mirror writing, which only appears normal in a mirror's reflection. He may have used the technique to prevent others from reading or stealing his ideas or to prevent ink from smudging (he was left-handed). Many experts believe that writing backwards might simply have been more comfortable for him.

In 1994, William H. Gates III, cofounder of the Microsoft Corporation, bought this manuscript for $30.8 million at auction. Leonardo's codex has been on display at numerous museums since Gates purchased it, but it will soon be installed in a climate-controlled vault in Gates' Medina, Washington home." http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/archimedes/manuscripts.html#leic

Where do I live? I will give you a hint. In 1976 the principal of my elementary school changed the named of the school to "Shawshank Elementary." The principal was also the mayor of the village and eventually in 1976 he changed the name of the village to "Guantánamo Bay Minitonas" in Manitoba, Canada.

Where do I live? The name of the place (in my mind) is called "A Living Hell in the Garden of Eden" and it refers to every single community or monkey sphere on earth.

The entire community I live in is just one example of every single community on earth. Every country functions the same no matter how different they look to the naked eye looking through rose colored glasses.

When you discover your community is a mirror copy of every other society and community on earth in some way, shape and form and that one country fighting another country on the world stage is no different than one kid fighting another kid on the playground of an elementary school in a village you begin to understand the reasoning behind the need for a New World Order.

There were 195 kids in my elementary school. Each kid represented each country in the world. Each kid represented the natural resources of each country. Each kid represented the criminal element in each country. Each kid represented the religion(s) in each country. As in all schoolyards, the bully's and/or religious nuts wanted power and control but low and behold the idiot savants eventually lead the way. And the moment the idiot savants showed all the kids how to be idiot savants, all the kids turned themselves into god(s):dog(s). (s=superman) (man's best friend is said to be a dog and how do you turn a dog into a god? you spell it backwords (backwards)) (there are 195 countries in the world)

When all the kids in all the countries became mankind's best friend as dog(s):god(s) their parents and grand parents were soon to follow because as they say "a child shall lead them." Who would have guessed it was the weakest most fragile child on the playground. The weakest link:strongest link.

If you don't want the elite of the world calling the shots and pulling the drive levers, then think about putting the opposite of the elite of the world in the drivers seat. Someone will do what you fail to do if all you do is sit back and bitch about what to do or what not to do.

One way or the other a NEW WORLD ORDER is coming the only question is when will it get here. In my opinion, the faster the better.

Follow the White Rabbit ... (from The Matrix)

2008-07-05T18:58:00.002-05:00

I am going to give you what I think are enough important pieces to a gigantic puzzle so that you can see what I see. If you can't see what I see after seeing the puzzle pieces I give you, I suggest you give the puzzle pieces to your children or someone younger than yourself and then ask them to explain it to you.

Tools for Your Toolbox - the one in your Head

Lesson 1 - Knowledge Is Priceless - but "where" is it taking us?

A) the 1st puzzle piece An explanation of the effectiveness of the Socratic method: the goal is not to convey new information but rather to elicit awareness of something that an individual already knows implicitly. http://www.philosophypages.com/hy/2f.htm#meno

B) The 2nd Puzzle Piece - Clay Shirky gave a speech about: Carving out a bit of the Cognitive Surplus http://nielsenhayden.com/makinglight/archives/010186.html#010186 "Your Cognitive Surplus is for consuming, producing and sharing. Once you become aware, it becomes your job to make the best use of ALL three. (ie. All of wikipedia was one little example)"

C) The 3rd Puzzle Piece - The interlinking of humanity that began with the emergence of language has now progressed to the point where information can be transmitted to anyone, anywhere, at the speed of light. Billions of messages continually shuttling back and forth, in an ever-growing web of communication, linking the billions of minds of humanity together into a single system. Is this Gaea growing herself a nervous system? "Gaea" is also the name of the womanly personification of mother earth in Greek Mythology.

The parallels are certainly worthy of consideration. We have already noted that there are, very approximately, the same number of nerve cells in a human brain as there are human minds on the planet. And there are also some interesting similarities between the way the human brain grows and the way in which humanity is evolving. ... continued http://www.peterrussell.com/GB/Chap8.php

D) The 4th Puzzle Piece - The butterfly effect (a premise of chaos theory) suggests that if a butterfly flaps its wings in one part of the world it can cause a storm to eventually form in another part of the world. More precisely, the flapping of the wings produces a tiny change in the state of the atmosphere that, over time, can result in a much larger effect. With this concept in mind, the movie, 'The Butterfly Effect' watches what happens when a man tries to make changes to the past in order to improve the present. http://www.femail.com.au/the_butterfly_effect.htm The changes we all make in our lives can also create a NEGATIVE butterfly effect on the world. http://i28.tinypic.com/w8mgs7.jpg It's time to become AWARE of what is possible and "flap your wings" to start a positive change in the world.

E) The 5th Puzzle Piece - is an example of what we are all capable of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r43yCiKlbCo "Lilly" was the inspiration that drove me to act ... I learned every country in the world and many of their cities in 3 days of using the game listed in this paragraph. It was fun and easy to learn and I now use the knowledge I gained in everyday life. When a headline or a news story talks of some crisis taking place around the world like in Senegal or Myanmar (formerly Burma) or Ecuador or Iraq or New Orleans, I now know instantly from the map in my head where aid of any sort is needed instantly. To reach every country in the world one must first know where every country is in the world. Luckily it's fun to learn them all with the help of web sites like; http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/Geography.htm and once you know all the countries then you start adding capital cities and so on until you know a lot about the entire world. They made a movie called "D.A.R.Y.L in (1985)" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088979/ that ironically showed how the human brain is the most powerful and complicated computer on earth and everyone has one but many don't know how to use it to their advantage.

F) The 6th Puzzle Piece - The government needs to start playing Grand Theft Society with their time and we need to prevent them from playing their war games using society's real wealth and ruining many real lives. http://mises.org/story/3031 Socrates argued that knowledge and virtue are so closely related that no human being ever knowingly does evil: we all invariably do what we believe to be best. Improper conduct, then, can only be a product of our ignorance rather than a symptom of weakness of the will. http://www.philosophypages.com/ph/socr.htm

G) The 7th Puzzle Piece - Follow the White Rabbit ... (from The Matrix) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo_(The_Matrix) Although it was only a movie, it made one think out side the box. "The One" can change the lives of many! Did you know that the Zion city in the Matrix was a reference to ... "Zion", a term that most often designates the Land of Israel and its capital, Jerusalem. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zion We all make many choices in life every day: and the choices are, "Do you want to take the blue pill or the red pill?" The blue pill equals remaining ignorant. The red pill constitutes taking the step to become aware, fully aware of whats going on in the world and start to do something to change it for the betterment of everyone.

I) The 5 Necessities of Life

What necessities do we ALL need to survive in and on this World we call PLANET EARTH?

The answer lies in the palm of your hand: (using your fingers for counting)

1) FOOD - ONE CAN ONLY EAT SO MUCH FOOD so as long as you have enough MORE is not necessary

Learning from our past (Irish Potato Famine): http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/17/opinion/17reader.html?ref=opinion
planning for our future (Greening the Desert): http://www.developmentcrossing.com/video/video/show?id=1018705:Video:4867

2) SHELTER - if you live in a trailer in a trailer park chances are you are not rolling in money but the TRUE FOOLS are the ones that are rolling in money and put themselves in McMansions and then can't see that they themselves are actually worse off than those in the trailer park. If their high paying jobs ever end, which they often do, they are often left homeless within months. Yet those in the trailer parks struggle along usually never to find themselves out on the street because they are close to the street to start with. The wise person buys and lives in what they need, NOT what "the Jones" across the street have. Warren Buffet is a prime example. One of the wealthiest people on earth and he lives in a "glorified card board box" (compared to his wealth).

We all need shelter but what run away government has done to it: http://business.scotsman.com/business/Your-roadmap-through--the.3810412.jp

A Revolution is Coming learn why: http://www.alternet.org/democracy/77498/?page=entire

3) CLOTHING - all the clothing one should ever want of need maybe as close as the Salvation Army or Value-Village

4) FAIR HEALTH CARE - I guess survival of the fittest does make sense at the start.
Understanding Healthcare now: http://www.oftwominds.com/blogmar08/generational-war.html What we need now is CEO class yearly health care mass produced for everyone on earth - Fortune Magazine July/2008

5) FUN & HAPPINESS - if you don't get any fun out of life you might as well be dead (so funs important)

The more you spend on the first four (1,2,3,4) the less you get for (5) fun and happiness
And without lots of (5) fun and happiness one might as well be dead.

J) The 5 Luxuries of Life

Once the first five necessities have been looked after then one is ready for the luxuries we ALL deserve and need to survive in and on this World we call PLANET EARTH?

The answer lies in the palm of your OTHER hand: (using your fingers for counting)

1) the ability to read and comprehend
2) the ability to write and be understood
3) the ability to do basic math (ie. add, subtract, multiple and divide)
4) the ability to speak and be heard "understood"
5) the ability and right to have the internet for learning, fun & finding happiness

With these 4 skills and a zest for fun, you are, if you don't know it, set for life.

More to come ...

The inevitable “real world” use of the label “marriage”.

2005-03-20T17:18:00.000-06:00

I woke up this morning and started thinking, “whom should I ‘fight’ for today with my spare time” and then it hit me while reading the local Star and Times. After reading and receiving some verbal feed back from my letter in the paper last week, it was obvious a little more needed to be said on the subject.

The word “marriage”, although ancient, is nothing more than a “label” society came to use (eons ago) to represent a “basket” of rights and privileges legally bestowed on any two individuals that committed themselves to each other for the long term (previously binding until death). Although the label has been historically limited in its use to the legal coupling of one man and one woman and entitling them to the “basket” of rights and privileges that legally go along with it. The label can and should be used for any two individuals interested and willing to enter into a legally binding long term committed relationship which also protects and provides their legal entitlement to that same “basket” of rights and privileges.

And here is why:

For demonstration purposes and to “satisfy” traditional marriage definition enthusiasts, I allocated 2 labels as follows:

I used the word “marriage” to label the legal coupling of one man and one woman.

I used the word “garriage” to label the legal coupling of one man and one man (or one woman and one woman)

Now the labels “marriage” and “garriage” are distinctly separate yet they can legally bestow the exact same “basket” of rights and privileges on both couples. The equality issue should now be resolved, but is it?

It sounds like a good plan but here is the confusing part. If both the labels “marriage and garriage” mean or represent the exact same commitment by each individual to the other and bestow the exact same “basket” of rights and privileges except one is between one man and one woman and the other is between one man and one man (or one woman and one woman), isn’t the 2^nd label pretty much redundant in the real world?

As an example, you meet someone unknown to you at a function, on being introduced to them you hear, “this is Sam and he is “married” to Bob over there by the fruit stand.” You think about that for a few seconds and then say, hey you are both guys, you are NOT “married” you are “garried”. So the person that introduced you says, oh! excuse me, yes you are correct, they are “garried” and not “married” but we all know they legally mean exactly the same thing except for the obvious!

Since there is no discernable way of identifying if a couple (gay, straight or otherwise) were married in a religious church service or in the presence of a justice of the peace. Post pomp and circumstance, the couples (gay, straight or otherwise) will be equivalently labeled as “married” in the eyes of society. So lets not kid ourselves, “married or garried”, we all know what it means, so lets get past the moot dual labels and call it what it is “a marriage” and move on to more important issues like finding jobs for all the “disabled” in society so they can get off and/or stay off welfare. As glamorous as society likes to think being on welfare is, in reality, it is NOT!

We may be more ALIEN than we want to admit!

2005-01-23T20:57:00.000-06:00

Applying a primer by looking at nature for the key to our current situation.

Take a look at honey bees. They spend their lives working to produce honey. Some of the honey they produce they use themselves while the surplus is put into storage. Mankind made use of the surplus honey by harnessing the working power of the bees to produce honey for them with little human intervention.

Taking a look at all life on earth, humans are the only animals in earth’s ecosystem that DO NOT FIT into the natural synergy of how NATURE stays in proper equilibrium. Humans are, for lack of a better word, acting as a foreign body or virus on the planet.

Now picture this. Mankind is in the planning stages to send a manned mission to Mars. As crude as we are, when we accomplish that goal, we will be the ALIENS to whatever life forms are on Mars. If we as humans can be ALIENS to life forms on another planet, it’s not a big leap to assume there are likely life forms elsewhere in the universe more advanced than us. History has shown, although mankind likes to think everything revolves around them and planet earth, time and scientific fact has proven it does not.

The earth is not FLAT – once widely believed
The sun DOES NOT travel around the earth – once widely believed
The earth is not the CENTRE of the universe – once widely believed
The earth is NOT the only planet circling a sun in the universe – once widely believed
Out of billions upon billions of suns (stars) in the billions of universes out there in space unknown, the earth is the one and only planet with life forms on it - currently widely believed (but highly improbable)

Now imagine we, as humans, travel to another planet with indigenous life on it. Assuming it is a virgin planet, not yet altered by foreign ALIEN influences, and the life forms on the planet are all functioning in an ecosystem that is in perfect equilibrium.

How would we approach the situation? Likely we would observe and monitor it as a scientific experiment. If we planned, at some point, to manipulate the indigenous life on the newly discovered planet, like we did with the bees on our planet, for our own benefit, we likely would have to do some experimenting first to see what works best. If none of the indigenous life were equipped to do the work we wanted done on the planet, we might have to genetically manipulate and create the work horses we want from the most appropriate indigenous life candidate from the planet. The candidate maybe from an indigenous animal with hands, fingers and legs but lacking the mental capacity to learn the work horse skills we desire of them.

Bees are our work horses for producing honey on earth in a completely autonomous environment. Since they are unaware of what we are benefiting from them and they happily do their thing, is our exploitation of them harmful? If the same thing could be achieved on another planet using some sort of work horse, (natural or biologically altered), the work horse might be just as happy doing his thing and at the same time help us as well in some way. As an example: like in the mass production of food stuffs in a completely autonomous environment.

To monitor the activities of the various work horses we create over time, it might be appropriate to color code the new work horse creation’s to monitor which group is doing what and how they are performing, etc. Much like how our lab experiments are run today on earth, just on a planetary scale.

Applying these loosely postulated ideas to earth in reverse, we on planet earth could be just “happily doing our own thing” and be a completely autonomous experiment of a foreign ALIEN culture and not even be aware of it.

I see IGNORANCE is still alive and well, even in Canada!

2005-01-22T13:34:00.000-06:00

I came across a web site the other day that struck me as an OXYMORON to say the least!

The web site is named http://www.proudtobecanadian.ca/threads/ubbthreads.php?Cat=$Cat

I’ve read through a lot of their rhetoric about how “marriage” is some holy’er that thou ideal of a traditional societal support structure and should ONLY be allowed to unite one man with one women. What an IGNORANT view of “marriage” in this day and age. A “marriage” between any two people, no matter how one chooses to label it, is what the two people in the marriage choose to make of it. Nothing more, nothing less!

To demonstrate the ignorance behind the anti-gay marriage debate, picture the following in your minds eye:

Take two couples:

1. a man and a woman

2. a man and a man (or a woman and a woman)

Firstly: remove the sexuality component of all members of both couples (to be re-addressed later) then evaluate how each couple will be a positive or negative influence on society.

1. Both couples have chosen their perspective partners to build a life together with in their perspective communities.

2. Both couples have ambitions to be good neighbors in their perspective communities.

3. Both couples have hopes and dreams of what they would like to accomplish in their lives.

4. Both couples are compassionate toward the suffering of others and those suffering around them.

5. Both couples know the difference between “right” from “wrong” and between “good” and “evil” given the opportunity to reason with their hearts.

6. Both couples have goals to be upstanding members of society.

7. Both couples wish to help make their communities the best they can be.

8. Both couples (albeit maybe reluctantly) will pay their fair share of taxes (provincially, federally)

9. Both couples will patronize local restaurants and businesses.

10. Both couples will likely vacation together somewhere in the world.

11. Both couples, if called upon, will serve their country to the best of their ability. (eg. jury duty etc.)

12. Both couples will abide by, to the best of their ability, the laws of the land.

13. Both couples, if blessed with the opportunity to raise a family through child birth and/or adoption, will do their very best to raise well adjusted, capable and contributing members of society.

14. Both couples will contribute valuable influences on the culture of their perspective communities.

15. Neither couple aims to hurt or be a burden on the community in which they live and likely plan to live for the long term.

Now add the sexuality component of both members of both couples back into the picture and re-evaluate how their SEXUALITY in any influences a positive or negative change in society.

1. Both couples, behind closed bedroom doors and as consenting adults, engage in sexual activities of one sort or another. The sexual spectrum ranges from no sex at all to whatever each consenting adult of each couple agree too. Depending on how enlightened the reader is, the possibilities are endless. To assume anything of either couple is unjustified and inappropriate considering whatever does or doesn’t happen is between two consenting adults and in their bedroom NOT yours. It is or should be of no concern to the community or the people in it, as long as what they (either couple) do sexually behind closed doors does not harm either one of them or anyone else.

Based on the above information, the sexuality of an individual has NO place in the discussions of positive and negative influences on a society. The way individuals contribute, conduct themselves, and more or less live their lives within their community determines the positive and negative influences they have on society.

Allowing both couples to “marry” within society only strengthens the societal support structure, it does NOT weaken it!

Made contact and chatted with a long lost friend from my old school days. It was a delight to talk over old times and catch up on new ones.

Not much to report. Just starting to arrange things and familiarize myself with how things work around here.
