Empathy Is the Highest Form of Intelligence - John Rutledge

I guess I have to write something after that statement.

Well, I can qualify geniuses; it takes one to know one: Right?

Don't Worry About N. Korea

Y'all:

This situation is really about a little boy (Kim Jong Un) who was born in 1983 (inexperienced, over-privileged, and largely uneducated in geo-politics), and who wants to aggrandize his fascist father's name because he knows that he can't do it but for a Brief Period in Time. 

So, the poverty-stricken (meaning philosophically) nationally catapulted leader has to rile up the troops internally. How much can they march in tandem without nourishment? Huh?

So, this is about a last hurrah for the uneducated imbecile - meaning Kim Jong Un. And, everyone knows (at least the ones on the global stage), when he fails (and he will), there will be a regional take-all for China, from Japan, and South Korea. Russia will try but won't succeed because they're scared of China. 

South Korea will probably be the biggest winner. But, regional interests will prevail.

Hate Mad People - They Are So Inconsiderate

Jay:

I hate mad people - like Kim Jong Un or Rush Limbaugh.

They have so much anger and talk too much without love for fellow humanity

Now, watch me (and us) rise.

I actually hate the word "hate."

I know, it's an oxymoron.

You challenged me in this blog effort, so I want to perform to prove myself to you that if I set my mind to do anything, that I will win.

You see, I'm really a puppy: "I love everybody!"

Now, do I get to win the blogging contest?

On Google - They Are Awesome

Now, why I like Google is because not only do they have business acumen but a grand back-end. Oh, an interruption happened.

Stop the presses!

Everyone knows that MicroSoft can't compete with Google. Even, if MicroSoft tried with some product like whatever they have, it won't be as fast as Google.

But, the back-end of Google is so impressive, and the algorithms that they put in place are fast. It's so fast.

I can't even remember MicroSoft's product. Oh Golly Whisckers!

Something like, bimbimbop, or some shit like that.

Thank you,

Pum

P.S.: If you walk into MicroSoft - it's like walking into a morass and hell. These corporate little fucks who have tons of money and the "suits" are just really inadequately small (sorry for the redundancy).

Invest in Silver

Y'all:

Silver has technological applications beyond imagination unlike gold. Only stupid people wear gold.

The only reason that they wear gold is to express their own insult to themselves.

Silver is the best. And, it's a best buy right now because right now the historic mean between Gold and Silver  is at it's lowest.

Thank you,

No One Is Your Friend And Remember That, Religiously

Y'all and everyone:

No one cares about you but your parents and perhaps some of your friends.

So, it doesn't matter how much money one makes; it matters what you save.

Don't worry about what anyone else thinks, have some courage, kids.

I can tell you how easily to invest, but I'm saving it for the next post.

On Performance - Stand by Ideals

Y'all:

Don't you think that performance is just an internal game that one has with oneself?

I generally don't like corporate situations because I don't like the suits - they can't think, in general.

They are trained to fuck everyone else over and to keep everyone else at bay, and those little pussies with their corporate suits are so disingenuous that they keep the corporate monies for themselves.

I could have become like that but I chose not to because authenticity and truth are more paramount to me than eclipsing ideals.

But, it's up to you, whether you will stand by your own principles or let someone who needs a 2K suit to provide you with the status of "employee."

Thank you,

The Good People Make the World Go Around

Hi Everyone,

I am very careful with my words because I listen really hard so: So, the next President of the US. I know who that will be because I want my free Tour of Air Force One. Okay? I'm a big cleaner so I have to start with my house.

Yes, one person can change the world. 

I start performing when I'm under tremendous amounts of pressure. Who do you think wrote: "What Commercializing the Internet Will Mean Physicists?" for Computers in Physics when she was only 23?

Technically, I was the best student in the country in 1989 because I majored in physics in 1.5 years. Still pissed that I got a C- in Astrophysics 300.And, there are only 5,000 physics majors in one year, and no one did it that year in 1.5 years. I was #7 out of 142 in law school. 

The reason that I didn't go into law was because the partners at Fulbright and Jawarski were so mean, you can't believe it.All they cared about was making money at the expense of their own clients, and they were clogging the court systems at the Federal level. I could be making so much money right now. But, I don't care about that because I choose to do the right thing in my life.

Thank you,

War Is So Stupid! Now, Let's Have Peace, Please

Y'all:

And, I'm going to quote one of my best friends, the Sand-man, he said once to me in a very quiet conversation, that there will be a Spiritual Revolution. He was right.

And, I didn't believe him 20 years ago or so, but I do now. 

The Spiritual Revolution will be created by the real artists, the real authors, and the real authentic intellectuals. 

Not the dancing mummies for dollars on Wall Street or the Fuckers in NYC or Britain. They don't matter.

I've sat in so many corporate board meetings, and those major dummies are just trying to pretend that they know. Why do you think they buy 2K suits, when they could have invested in their own children?

Primarily, because they think that a grand suit will make them look good. But, they all fall down like a pocket full of posies.

With the best hopes as you navigate this mean, sometimes nice, and sometimes treacherous world,

Show Some Muscle, America!

Y'all:

Take them all out at once and provide a nicer world for all of us:

For that imbecile of a leader in North Korea, Kim ILL, who is starving his own country, for pseudo-military glory, take him out with a sniper and bomb his nuclear facilities before there are too many nuclear-grade materials, or do we want to wait until the little wimp has ICBMs and prints more fake US dollar bills?

For the idiot in Iran, Aberjababaddoo, take him out and, in tandem, fly Radio Free America bills in Persian poetry.

For the total moron in Syria, Assad-hole, take him out and his top leaders, and let the people have peace. 

So, if I ask the US Government to take them out (meaning 86 Kim Jong Un in North Korea, Ahmadinejad in Iran - he's mad - you see it's embedded in his name, and President Assad of Syria), can't I help people in those respective countries?

Now, I am not that stupid that there won't be power vacuums in those countries but we can fill them in meaning the US and also us with good, wholesome ideals aligning with their cultural ethos to rebuild their businesses, their homes, and their families. 

Then, let all the regional interests help the people get back on their feet so their children won't starve.

Thank you,

Of the Highest Moral Code and Character I Will Act and Behave

Please don't tell anyone how immature and sensitive I am. You see, I am the most immature 44-year-old you will ever meet.

I only go to the top with anything because I'm not scared of anything. : )

I know that I am a workaholic but it's okay. I only do what I feel like doing. I choose where and when to go to work for any client.

Please see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqoGc-4Uxbg&feature=related

You see: I have to work because that is in my nature, and I can't go against my nature.

My major character flaw is that I am impatient - because I want everything perfect - Now, Now, Now!

Everybody always says it's not what you know, it's who know. But, I beg to differ - it's what you know and whom you know and how one treats other people.

I don't care about the money. Money is so easy to make.

Who do you think takes care of the family? Well, I do. Every day, I clean the entire house and feng shui the refrigerator so that my mother will be able to find whatever she needs to eat for her health because she knows that I love her.

My mother wasted all her money so now I have to rebuild the family back.

You see: there are many mean people out there who just care about getting ahead by using others. But, I'm not like that because I fully believe that one should only be noble because all hard work is noble - whether one is washing toilets or running a company.

My word is my bond and everyone intuitively knows that - that's why I have to act like a bitch sometimes to protect them against themselves because they are weak and don't have the Courage, Character, and Consistency to have the foresight to understand their own weaknesses and desires that compel them to act nobly.

You see: I am highly spiritual and only with the highest moral standards and code will I behave under the circumstances of each situation. But, I already knew that you know this.

Your well-wisher and friend,

Under Tremendous Amounts of Pressure Right Now

I'm filing suit against the US Government to overturn Richardson vs. US (1974).

You see: the Supreme Court set up a two-part test that was designed to disenfranchise every American Citizen so that he or she could not receive an "accounting" from each agency as is our Constitutional Right.

I am building a legal team and all my friends, who are lawyers and business CEOs, are going to help.

I know how much the Federal Government spends and wastes because on my thumb drive there are $30B worth of proposals that I mostly wrote.

You see: I know how talented you are because you: "Think like Socrates, speak like Pericles, and write like Sophocles."

Of only the highest moral standards and ethics do I deal with people.

You see, I am more conservative than Justice Scalia and Justice Thomas.

Barack Obama will have to be stopped because Cloward and Pivens' strategy to implode the American economy will not work.

He's like a kept woman who has a credit card to Neiman Marcus. And, BTW, the pseudo Stimulus Package was a massive payoff to all his supporters. So, $787B goes out the window from the tax base of the Middle Class to pay Wall Street bankers, who have already destroyed the Middle Class with their greed.

It's so sad. Alas!

He's trying to implode the American economy. He has now spent more than $4T in less than four years.

I am trying to protect all of us. This is for all of our children so they won't inherit a political morass and horrendous debt.

On Life by Billy

I just wanted to tell you how great it is to be in touch with you again and hear your advice on life. I hope things are going as well as it seems in your life. Getting back in touch with Joann was such a good thing. It sounded from our last conversation that things were a little bit tough with your mom moving back in.

I just wanted you to know that I think about you and it reminds me of my situation when I moved back in with my mom after my dad passed away in 2001. Param I know sometimes things in life seem a little tough but these are the times that are preparing us for what is to come.

I've been on my own now since I was 20 years old and never truly look back. You are such a good soul and I'm very proud to call you my friend. That area of the country is so expensive to live in people spend most of their lives trying just to cover their basic needs which are usually about 4 to 5 times the cost in different parts the country such as Colorado.

This is one of the one of the many reasons why I decided to move out here for a better quality of life for less cost. This is just a reminder from one that was on the inside looking out at one point that it is more the cost of living that makes living in that area difficult than just life itself which can be a challenge as we all know.

I just wanted you to know that I enrolled in school and plan on finishing my four-year degree which I started over 15 years ago. I am very much looking forward to the new challenge and the results that will change my life once again.

I feel so lucky that I am able to afford the time and resources to accomplish such a daunting task for someone like myself for which school does not come so easily.

I know what it's like to have a mother in your life that is not very supportive. Unfortunately, we can't choose our family but we can choose who we spend our time with. That is another reason why I moved away.

Please don't let these influences poison the wonderful person that I know you are. Much love from your friend Billy.

The Declaration of Independence Revisited

Pum’s Re-write of the Declaration of Independence

I underscore here that this little, light-hearted piece reflects a deep respect for one of our greatest Presidents, Thomas Jefferson, who firmly believed that the free transfer of knowledge and real art is the greatest asset of a society.

By my blithe plagiarism, recount what a wonderful man helped build the theoretical foundation of our democracy. Incidentally, because everyone now holds the copyright to the Declaration of Independence, we have every, full right to mimic Jefferson’s words. We have always owned the privilege to preserve, protect, and parrot his ethos.

Declaration of Bounty

Preamble

Why not use our God-given talents to produce bounty for innocent, deserving children? To fulfill a child’s dream and create lifelong reminiscences of “the innocent time,” glory can be our ultimate legitimacy. We hold these truths to be self-evident that our country’s innocence is the source of our souls and the triumph of our hearts.

A Declaration of Privileges

That to perfect these dreams, virtuous foundations created by honest and good people, are orchestrating generous acts for the joy of all hearts. That whenever any Form of scarcity becomes destructive to these ends, it is the Right of the People to abolish this vacuum, institute a constructive body, laying its charity on such principles and molding its potential in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect every person’s (and child’s) safety and happiness.

Generosity, indeed, will dictate that organizations firmly established on these standards shall never be changed or corrupted by less than wholesome causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that children are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But, when a long, model train of shortage, pursuing a different Object verifies a reality that smashes dreams because of relative scarcity, it is our duty, to seal this abyss, and provide new Guards for our childrens’ present happiness and future security.

A Measure of Inadequacy

Such has been the patient suffering of many who are lacking; and such is now the necessity that persuades us to institute a policy of bounty. The history of our country contains the truth of unfulfilled needs and insecurity for many deserving youngsters. The proof is our collective experience that speaks to a potentially candid world.

A Statement of Responsibility

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil [or the un-fulfillment of a delightful vision] is that good men [and women] do nothing. – Edmond Burke

In every stage of our experience, we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms. Our repeated petitions have been unanswered by our own inability to take notice. Non-action should not continue to spank our dreams into bitter un-fulfillment and is an unfit course for good men and women.

We should not continue to be deaf to the voice of justice and consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity . . . .

More to come.

We Can't Wing It Anymore on Power Sources

My dear friends,

Grueling effort and no breaks.

Has not Japan's recent nuclear meltdown (with, now, four nuclear reactors) proven that we are all vulnerable (and don't think that this does not affect everyone on the planet - because the pollution into the oceans will penetrate every living thing through known ocean current patterns)?

Remember Chernoble and Three Mile Island?

Nuclear energy is a ready source for power. But, it's up to you. Whether we will, collectively, find a solar power solution (which is free and silicon is also plentiful for photovoltaic cells).

But, if we want to live in a decently, harmonized world; let's all go solar.

There are too many dangers in transporting nuclear waste to secure depositories, primarily, because, during transport itself, there are dangers of spillage and, then again, deposits are generally still radioactive for at least more than 217+ years: Pu-239 decays to U-235, which has a very long half life (roughly 109 years).

Cheers,

HippoParamus

P.S.: 109 years means that nuclear waste is still radioactive even after that time has elapsed (109 + 54.5 + 27.25 + 13.625 + 6.8125 + 3.41 + 1.7 + .85 = 217.1475 years). But then, calculate in that India has at least 56 nuclear reactors (potential - Tsunamis abound?); America has at least 104 reactors; and the list goes on and on.

Do the math, dudes! Nuclear waste will never be un-radioactive for more than your grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-childrens' lives - and even beyond that. I just got tired of using the word, "grand," for each generation is only, on average, 25 years in length.

What a Loss for Humanity

Ladies, Tomboys, and Gentlemen:

I forwent on this one painting that my heart still pines for to this day. It was 3K back in 1993 (and, I was only making 24K/year at the American Institute of Physics on 1630 Connecticut Avenue in Washington, DC).

It was a 6' by 6' painting of an Old American Indian Man's Face with all his elegant, deep wrinkles and piercing azure blue eyes so wherever one went in the gallery, his eyes still gazed upon the onlooker.

Golly gee whiskers, I miss it! What a masterpiece! Truly!

Now, getting to serious matters and not worrying about the past: working today on the largest physical security contract in US (approximately 300 mil. to 400 mil.) to protect all the 12 Federal Circuit and District Courts in tandem with the judges.

I'm the luckiest dude on the whole face of the planet: best family, best friends, and best career!

Still want to overturn Richardson vs. US (1974), which basically disenfranchised every American Citizen of one's Constitutional Right to have an "accounting" of each Federal Government Agency.

I know how much money they (the Federal Government) spend and waste because I write those contracts and responses to RFPs. "A mil. here and a mil. there; a bill. here and a bill. there; a trill. here a trill. there." It's endless.

It's truly so sad. Alas!

But, it's up to each and everyone one of you whether to decide to fight for your Constitutional Rights or be vacated into a vacuum of waste and overexpenditures - because if the American economy fails than the world economy fails and everything will go into more disarray.

There are still approximately 10,000 Russian ICBMs trained on the US. And, BTW don't think that China doesn't have Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles. Be scared! Be very scared! I haven't mentioned regional conflicts now have I?

Again, if the American economy fails, then we will have World War III and nuclear destruction. And, again, if we don't do anything about it, we are surely collective dolts, indeed! But, I have faith, my friends!

I'm really just a puppy: "I love everyone!" Everyone is beautiful to me for they are each God's work of art. Please don't let "fear, uncertainty, and doubt" destroy our world community. I'm rooting for everybody!

Cheers,

Hippo

BTW: I will argue the overturning of Richardson vs. US in front of the Supreme Court myself with the help of a legal team because our mutual goal should be preservation of our own Courage, Character, and Consistency; our collective integrity and spirit.

Why do you think I write my blog?

Taxes Revisited

And, they always want to grab what's not theirs. Colonel House (advisor to Pres. Wilson) convinced the President and the American citizens in 1913 to institute the first Federal Tax at 1%. Colonel House promised that Federal Taxes would never exceed 1%. Well, we know that was a vacuous promise.

But, he couldn't forsee FDR's four terms in office and what would follow thereafter.

Twenty-five years ago, one out of every five dollars that anyone earned went to the Federal Government; now it is more like one out of three dollars earned so that's roughly 33% plus add in 8.5% for Social Security (if you're self-employed, it's 15%); so, thus and therefore, we're now up to between 40-48+% of annual income. Now, add in state and local taxes at around 6% of annual income; so we're now at 46%-54% of annual income.

All in all, by the time we pay all federal taxes and state taxes (mind you, we really start out at about 97% of income because of state taxes on sales receipts for food, gas, clothing, whatever, etc.). We're now at 49%-57%.

Then add in all state and local taxes for electricity, gas, cell phones, water, etc. So, we're now at 50%-58% of annual income.

So, you thought you were rich? You're only rich if you are poor; that's an oxymoron, I know.

That's how Obama gets his votes by milking the middle class and the rich to feed the poor, who are generally inefficient, hateful of themselves, and always willing to take a handout. I'm not saying that everyone who is poor is self-loathing but the large majority are, alas!

That was his strategy to run slightly left of center, and then to raise taxes because he is essentially a Socialist and perhaps a Communist. He wants the system to implode. That's why the Federal Debt now exceeds 14 Trillion dollars - more than GDP; Cloward and Pivens Strategy to make America destitute and turn into a Communist State.

BTW: If one takes the "l" out of Cloward; it spells: "COWARD!"

Don't get me started on property taxes for that matter. And, BTW, Social Security is not a fund; they take all the receipts and apply them in that year to Federal expenditures - that's why SS will go defunct/default/bankrupt by 2040 (but probably way before then).

So, essentially, we pay 50%-60%+ income for nothing but roads, public schools, and public libraries. But, it's up to each of you how you're going to deal with the real circumstances of our existence!

With the deepest regards,

Hippo

P.S.: I'm going to Capitol Hill on Tuesday to meet Rand Paul and whoever else is there. I'm not scared of anyone or anything, my friends. I already know who the next President will be.

P.S.S.: I suggest an A-B Trust if you don't want your children to be double taxed, which, however, is unconstitutional, on estates.
