For over a decade, excerpts of my essays, correspondence and conversations became my taglines. I refine my spontaneous words inspired by events of the day into slogans. Why so cryptic? Self-preservation. The wise will get 99%. Why such haughty disdain? Cavalier attitude is called for in desperate times. Millions of lives are at stake. These are no outbursts. They are informed, deliberated and measured—in fact, gross under-statements!
A smiling tiger is no friend. MAR 13 2010 A point-n-click/plug-n-play "consultant" is an oxymoron, and a fraud. MAR 9 2010 Imprudent exploitation of others is detriment to oneself. Steal moderately! MAR 7 2010 In a fraudulent economy, end-of-months are perilous (esp. Mar &
Sep). Crocodile tears are always in fashion. It's an universally accepted currency. FEB 15 2010 Economic "science" as spewed by most "experts" is actually pure alchemy. FEB 11 2010
an·ti-sam·my·ism: to dare to contradict me, or On logic: Complement does not equate opposite! FEB 4 2010 Why do I oft sprinkle "mirror" in my writing? Review May 15, 2007 entry for the root of "evil." Farewell, Eustace Mullins and Howard Zinn. A very sad week for humanity. FEB 2 2010 So many rabbit holes. So little time. JAN 20 2010 Feebles beg. Greedies steal. Fools fight. Clevers entice, entrap, siphon and wait. JAN 19 2010 Why work? Instead, just catalyze by way of deceptions. JAN 18 2010 I feel like one who escaped the Cave, return to inform his fellow prisoners─Only to face savage attack, from the blissfully ignorant cowards, enraged by reality. JAN 1 2010 Purposes render "identity" superfluous. NOV 21 2009 You seek truth in life? There's no life in truth. Truth is dead. NOV 9 2009 Many "progressives" are just desperate public display auto-stimulators of the ego kind. Many "conservatives" are just radical fear mongers marinating in their own greedy waste. OCT 28 2009 Ich bin ich. Du bist du. Und es wird immer so sein. OCT 27 2009 Everyone is an optimist. A well-informed optimist is called pessimist. OCT 21 2009
Cautionary tale of untamed vampire.
The worst enemy of truth isn't lie. It's facts! Near-truth and fallacies are most effective. OCT 7 2009 Mal-framed questions and "debates" get one nowhere fast. OCT 5 2009
Cognitive Dissonance
breeds delusion. Oriental or Occidental... a credential inconsequential. The real question: Have you what's quintessential? SEP 30 2009 Erwachsene sind Kinder, die ihre Träume verloren haben. SEP 29 2009
The sheep herd blindly trail the behind of the sheep just ahead. Be a black sheep with wide-open eyes! Navigate by sight, not whiff! SEP 12 2009 ... Hence, this is but an exercise in shuffling—not production. Thievery is in fact fair-game. It is part of the laws of nature. To not recognize it, is inept. To not admit it, is devoid of dignity. Are you able and willing? SEP 11 2009 It's no shame (nor harm) to have penis as engine... so long as there's a heart for steering + brain to brake. (now think metaphorically on the monetary system...) SEP 11 2009 Even my tier-2 friends (whom I consider 90 percentile) are capitulating let-downs. Redeemingly, they possess sufficient dignity and conscience, and the intellect to comprehend me, without laborious act on my part. SEP 1 2009 Nationalism is not for me, because I have a brain and a heart. AUG 19 2009 Of course, I'm for green, but not "green", which is 10% exploiters, 20% pretenders 65% naive followers. Look in the mirror. AUG 9 2009 1% are brilliantly vile. 98.9% are between exceptionally dim and mediocre. The rest is called the 99.9 percentile. There's a pandemic of "Percentile Dysfunction." JUL 22 2009 Politicians are nimble enough to change stance intraday. They're small enough to dance between rain drops and stay dry. For good measure, they're even triple-coated with: Teflon, Scotchgard and Rusty-Jones. Slick, non-absorbing and corrosion-prone. JUL 17 2009
American Exceptionalism? "...too big to bail, but too big to fail"
= it will fail. The
former is a physical impossibility. The As a brief generation of nouveaux riches gives way to the impending anciens pauvres, a paradoxically impoverished decadent society is born. MAY 15 2009
Yeah, yeah... Empires rise and empires fall, but at least don't become the lamest flash-in-the-pan of them all! APR 21 2009 Since you persist in bulldozing me with ignorance & fallacies, I must ask that you go **** yourself! Indeed, "educate" is a 7-letter dirty word, per the powers that be. APR 15 2009 G20: non-committal "commitments" + non-factual "facts" + imaginary "understanding" = much ado about nothing. The Great Leap (off the cliff) commenced. tick, tock... APR 10 2009 What kind of fool would compose a coda worthy of a masterpiece, when fading refrain will do? (directed at self... subtitle: There're higher purposes...) APR 1 2009 It's official: Banana Republic of Amerika! Or, the birth of Weimarer Republik II. Awww, so cute! MAR 23 2009 What you're smoking, is the only "green shoot" there is, Mister B. MAR 20 2009 Now, 17 months later... Who's laughing? Who's the insane one? Sadly, you remain utterly ignorant, not at all repentant, but every bit as complicit and destructive. MAR 19 2009
The rosi hope of cleansing lies in far corners of the world in budding minds of wisdom. MAR 13 2009 Who'd have thought destiny could sometimes be such inspirational delights... :] MAR 9 2009
Letting the cripple carry the blind is no way to escape a fire. Horse before cart! FEB 15 2009 Le monde sous sa loi arnaque et guerrière; Se débattit.
(hommage à Hugo, merci Alexandra) What's worse than a thief? Thief with a gun. What's worse than that? That with a badge! Ahhhh, such irony! Now, think metaphorically on a national scale... FEB 1 2009 How shameless are you? How brainless are you? How heartless are you? These 3 purely non-rhetorical questions will guide you thru inevitable despairs in the coming decades. JAN 27 2009 (originally published on JUL 4 2008)
The grand shuffle of deck chairs on-board "Titanica" is pointless. The bickering for best seat is down right silly. The anticipation of bliss is futile. JAN 20 2009 At what point must we substitute the word "nation" with "cesspool"? Are we there yet? Perhaps I'll just compromise, and settle for "cesspool of a nation." JAN 19, 2009 Got what it takes to be a pretty lily? Emerge and blossom, or submerge and drown in the lanure magoon. JAN 9 2009 When does "not asking questions" end, and "willful complicity" begin? Where's the line between immoral inaction and genocide by proxy? Deception "victims" or double-bluff swindling partners? JAN 3 2009
All your life, it's been orange pop & hotdog. I hereby invite you to sit at my table. Dare to accept? Go forth and develop! JAN 1 2009
As the "Baltic Dry" dries... DEC 7 2008 Over and over I whisper you clues. Are you so cheap as to sell your own child? Are you savage enough to eat your own kind? NOV 5 2008 Which part of “mathematically impossible” don't you understand? Must I draw a diagram for “smoke & mirror”? OCT1 2008 The bad news: You haven't seen anything yet! The "good" news: We'll all become millionaires. Don't cry for me Ameritina. SEP 17 2008 On this land of the self-destructively hubris, perhaps the only relevant question is: Brother can you spare an eye? for even one who manages to muster half would rightfully claim the vice-roiship. Sep 15 2008 Can you say "cycles, super cycles, meta-super cycles"? SEP 13 2008 Our collective water has broken, from here on out, contraction cycles will increase in strength and frequency. We've been pregnant since summer 2007. Sep 11 2008 I watch the pre-programmed sequence unfold from the front row. Soon, all of you laughers won't. The period 2 months to 4 years from now will be quite interesting. AUG 15 2008
Reality and substance will be in-fashion once again, after the transformation. AUG 11 2008 Ignition sequence: Go! Final multi-stage spiral commenced. Destination: The abyss. AUG 9 2008 Surreal? Indeed! Surprised? Hardly! Stop listening to parrots and noise-makers. But, first... Take a hard look in the mirror. JUN 22 2008 Dumm & Dümmer: ... if you think it's just a mockery of the last appointed and the soon-to-be-appointed "prez," thinking again... Mirror, mirror on the wall... JUN 6 2008 The brand new shampoo features: new name, fragrance & bottle design. YAY!! JUN 5 2008 I smelled a rat and leaped off the bandwagon. Just ya wait... JUN 4 2008 All men are not created equal. Nor should they be. Beware of those pretending they are. JUN 1 2008 How many knees can a knee-jerk jerk jerk, if a knee-jerk jerk can jerk knees? MAY 23 2008 In our stampede to gain an edge, we're all inevitably held back and mutually wounded. "Winning is everything" is a loser's attitude. Much time, energy and resources are destroyed in earnest; to scheme, deceive, extract, second guess, counter-scheme, counter-deceive, and supposedly—to "get ahead." MAR 25 2008 Who're ya gonna believe? Me, the 4 blind men, or your own lying eyes? FEB 24 2008
If you didn't understand 8 years ago, what makes you think you'll get it now? FEB 14 2008 "Rogue trader" my asset! It's standard practice, with orders from the top. There's much more unraveling coming, both natural and strategically-induced. Shhhh... he'll be out in 6 months flat, with limo and Swiss account awaiting. JAN 30 2008 [Oh... color me naive. Only 4 weeks!!!]
Economists? Hahahaaaaaa!! JAN 22 2008 Hunker down! Batten hatches! Tsunami imminent. JAN 1 2008 If you only know 2% of what I see, you'll weep, or I will call you sub-human filth. DEC 15 2007 At this point, 4- to 25-year recovery period would be considered "soft landing." NOV 29 2007 As I see it, there are multi- and fractional-billionaires. My fellow type-two billionaires: what I advocate helps even the type-oners... if only they realized. Remember! Remember! NOV 5 2007 Shuffling and fluffing does not new wealth make. OCT 15 2007 We all have to prostitute ourselves from time to time. There remain but two
questions: Feeble and cripple minds succumb to drips that numb. All are fools. You too! AUG 1 2007 (Haiku) My prophetic inner self is emerging: It's my true calling, and I must answer. JUL 7 2007 Enigmatic Paradox and Paradoxical Enigma: Truly, Madly, Deeply. JUL 7 2007 Ignorance is bliss. Knowledge is curse. Ignorance of ignorance is worst. JUL 6 2007 The balm of foul is smeared on your upper lip, and you smell nothing? You must be either breathing through your mouth, or lying through your teeth. In other words: willfully ignorant, naturally inept, or just plain deceitful. JUL 5 2007
Our economic "prowess" is merely a façade, and poised for imminent catastrophic collapse... JUL 4 2007 They've been calling you a moron, but you don't have to let them! Stop going out of your way to prove them right! MAY 15 2007 ...the rise of hypocrisy, preying on mediocrity, ignorance is adversity... Surrender your sovereignty! OCT 15 2006 Hello, mom? This is John Doe. You believe me, right? Umm, no multi-trillion dollar accounting "adjustments" to disclose... Just have been in a funk for 5 months. SEP 10 2006 TJ was right! And, I've been working tirelessly to avoid/defer yet another "refreshment" for "the tree of liberty..." Coming thru... Step aside! JUL 4 2006 EerieKA! I'm just a shivering Dutch boy with a hoarse voice and sore finger. APR 5 2006 Trusting indiscriminately is recklessly incompetent. If you doubt the proven few, you're a distrustful soul, and most likely untrustworthy. JAN 1 2006 Honesty is the designer brand of stupidity in a pretty bottle. Henceforth, Social advocacy shall not
take a backseat to business activities. Learn the virtue of "obscenities" and
obscenity of "virtues" I remain your not-so-humble servant. JUN 1 2003 My faith for humanity dwindles, each time I learn of how these "brilliant" schemes are pull off. MAY 21 2003 Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's got the longest nose of them all? MAR 7 2003 Painful truth: You have Below Average Monkey Score (BAMS) on most topics. SEP 22 2001 Eyeful Tower: ...some not-so-obvious facts, perspectives & analysis.

SEP 20 2002 An evil king will jump at the opportunity to
award beefy slaughtering contracts and Cameralot: May common sense always prevail. May it be more common! SEP 11 2002 I had my 15 minutes of fame and I left with a bang! Oh... to this day, I'm still not pregnant. NOV 20 2000 I am first and foremost a human, an engineer secondly, and a distant third: comedian. (Thou shalt not clown around constantly.) JUN 1 2000 I'm in the business of renting out my brain. I have yet to descent to selling my body, and certainly have no intentions of pawning my soul.
