Saving Lives

Those of you who have been funding the Autism employment project ought to know that you are saving lives.

I know it says in various sacred texts that 'only God in heaven knows what you give in secret' but in this case I also know and you should at minimum know that these things have vastly more value than what people tend to believe.

Last week I read in a national newspaper a whole article about a fund with a lot of money that was managed professionally and it appeared to be handling what is called 'philanthropy' by the very wealthy and is a practice that has pages and pages dedicated to the kind of thing in places like Forbes Magazine.

What the Moulin Rouge was actually like
in the olden days.

I don't know about those things and I have never seen those levels of funds for actual on-the-ground socially worthwhile and meaningful causes anywhere.

There are more homeless people living in the streets today than I have ever seen before.

And there is more money channeled to 'philanthropy' and our national government here is complaining about going over-budget on its bi-partisan 'national disability insurance scheme.'

I've never seen any of that money and I know personally of no one who has.

It's in the multiple billions. Allegedly.

I know that clinically diagnosed anxiety among the public is on the rise and the so-called mental health rates among all ages are not going down either.

But I don't want these pages to descend into time-wasting discussions about charities or causes or the general poverty of the planet.

I want to talk about the fact that very likely almost no one here has actually acquired a copy of 'Hassan' by Flecker and read it to the end and still people wonder why no ET Aliens turn up and show themselves...

You got Hassan, right?
I mean you did get it.
Right??

Ah nah, I don't really want to say that - I already know and expect what people are likely to do and what they have the time to do.

We can't all just drop what we are doing in the moment and go get some all-fired old book just because Calvin says.

(Who is 'Calvin?' Calvin J. Bear is this guy who has been around a long time on a private investment forum started by some serious professionals most of whom are in the services 'somewhere').

I mean put it this way too - how much would the Wall Street Journal pay for access to a person who has actually been on one of these 'recovery' missions??

LOL

You know which ones.

Those ones. Of which there are said to have been nine already.

LOLOLZZZ

Hey no point calling me! I don't know any such persons. And besides, they would all be signed into a 100-year heavy-weight agreement for which there are only jail provisions for breaking the covenants of secrecy and confidentiality. So, no, I don't know such people.

Yeah, and?
What sort of people actually live in there?
Do they all get on with each other?
Are there servants?
What about slaves, are there some of those?
Who cleans the joint?

What I do know about though, is that there are mansions in Oregon and Aspen and so on worth tens and tens of millions and I happen to know one or two of the folk who own them and gee, they are boring boring people when it comes down to it.

I mean most of them are quite nice in the basic way of how people come across socially and none of them is stupid exactly.

None of those people know that I am to be found here.

They would not be shocked with what I have been saying (about them).

One is an inheritor of one of the original shareholdings of a major oil discovery in the Timor Sea. The actual historical fact of it all is though, that those people never did actually extract any commercial oil there and the whole thing was fought over by the government of Indonesia and Philips Oil and then subsequently the independent Timor government backed by Portugal.

This gentleman's entire wealth came from floating the proposition on the Australian and the London exchanges during the era of the 'wealthiest entrepreneur in Australia' back then, Robert Holmes a' Court and in the end it was demonstrated that he never actually owned any rock-solid rights to anything in the Timor Gulf at all and meanwhile... ...he died so it was never shown that he was a complete fraud all along.

During his day no one could say a word against Holmes a' Court because he owned a media empire and all the politicians had fallen in love with his seemingly aristocratic Rhodesian style. Enough said. ...All you Freemasons out there.

Is this a truly wealthy person,
do you think?
What is 'truly wealthy?'
...Are they an interesting person?

Actually, another of his famous crazy investments was that he had bought a huge number of heritage properties in France and the truth of that was that legally - he wasn't allowed to sell any of them!! LOL

So, what he had and what he owned and what was real and legitimately a commercial asset that could be sold in an open market - was moot.

I tell you all of these things in order to explain why 1. you are not barred from being in one of these incredibly beautiful white elephants in Aspen, and 2. you do not need to be intimidated by those who 'own' them.

Those people are nobodies.

The people who are somebodies are the ones that actually gave to a real physical manifest cause to do with social endeavors and the human beings that received the benefits and welcomed those and were grateful are all real and important people. All of them; both sides of the equation.

Who's to know or say whether some day some currently unknown person with Autism suddenly turns up on the public scene as the world's greatest concert violinist?

...I know you want to be in that mansion in Aspen.

But that is where the 'friends' come in.

And they are our friends and they are your friends too. They can take you anywhere. They can 'disappear' you and bring you back in one piece too. And you will not be able to tell anyone what you saw.

On that private almost secret, finance forum I was talking about a few paragraphs above, one person recently remarked that there were rumors that MH370 was 'disappeared' by some top secret amazing technology of the Pentagon... I've seen those short video clips too. 

LOL

The Pentagon has no such 'top secret' technology.

It's not secret, but it is
nice technology.

They can make out they have it all they want as far as I'm concerned.

They can do whatever they want to do all the way to the bitter end.

Because there soon will be such an end.

Meanwhile though, we want to just go find ourselves in one of those mansions, right? With some friends, and some very good wine, and absolutely no one else who should be left behind in the world far below - or outside, as it were.

You are already on the inside.

Can you tell?

I mean you think about it: you got Hassan nobody else got it; you got to read about the funny long-fingered people, no one else did; you got to be told that there is a gooey, oxygenated substance inside those little white Tic Tacs no one else knows about that; and you got told that blue light lasers (LED ones, that's all) shone into halite salt crystals placed over your heart area increase the T-cells in your blood and prevents disease and gives you tons of energy, nobody else got told about that.

Now though, Hassan. Back to Hassan. What did we learn from that?

For lust of being where the common folk should not be, we take the Golden Road to the mansion in Aspen...

For me the one question is who will want to go with me - will I go alone, or do I want others to be there?

I started out more or less alone. I found some fellow travelers along the way though.

Most serious-minded people want love above all else, but they want the love of the right beings:
