more about nuts
correction squirrelism is not repeat not: squirtism , squirmism, squealism, squatism, squelchism or iamheism-- let alone: i am on top and so what and i got mine.
students are expelled from the school for thinking i mean confusing our stash of nuts as a hoard of Huns.

Another myth is that rocky of t.v.cartoon fame is our mascot- not true. Another myth is ; acting squirrely, for faculty description, had it origins in a misspoke by a summer faculty member when describing his female counterparts. he meant to say swells no our faculty are squirrely because they are mouth active.

yup yup hooie
Today it was announced that Harvard and University of Chicago maybe Yale but not Princeton will create a new school within their business buildings. It will be close to their economic departments. It is to be called the school of SQUIRLISM.
The faculties have not yet been fiscalized but officials assure they will not have tails of tears.
They will be gray haired, since only senior fellows with large spreads are allowed. Their jowls will be huge. The faculty will be chosen for there ability to knaw and chew especially those hard to crack nuts. All will be able to survive winter.

MAKE MONEY HONEY_ no! no pickle jar
I have recently been struck poor by how large banks, now global rogue elephants, operate. They start by sucking money, ( with snouts) concentrating massive amounts into a few controlling hands while maintaining a posture of competition. Once an economy has been fully monetized and the manipulation of interest rates by a monopoly is established the great bankers "CON" can commence. Two examples both recent are presented in this essay.
America's recent swindle was in the real estate sector. A good place for a banker's CON since it involves leverage and debt. The bankers lend to developers who build vast tracts of marginally needed houses, commercial centers, shopping malls,apartments, storage lockers, and metal warehouses. These are built on the sound corpses of earlier buildings declared-unwanted surplus. This is made possible by tax laws corrupted politicians write and enact.
Now, to make your pile of dough rise faster, you lend money, at favorable terms, to panting ordinaries. They then purchase your leveraged structures taking on leveraged debt, again made possible by politicians corrupted by golf outings. The bank pays- lavishly. A few jet rides help. The debt candle is burned from both ends.
However, unlike workers and interest return suckers, (even your own), you are purposefully constructing a failure. Burning both ends of a candle is explosive. Many an unhappy family knows the pain of working night and day to make;"ends meet". KABOOM! The bank has stacked the deck.
The arsonists of this financial suicide FLEE early enough with vaults of money-non leveraged CASH (a position), and stand well away from the conflagration. Perched on the vulture wire, often called equity funds, private equity funds, you observe the slaughter and the growing pile of bodies. From your high and dry(cash) position you buy up pieces(assets) from the ash heap, picking only those that still breathe.
So, free of leverage you become whole.(equity owner) This crime allows you to be, RICH, so rich that you are a member in good standing, either new or renewed, in the ownership class. Your soul is tarnished a bright gold and your mansions blind you from the havoc this honorable pursuit has wrought but your historical--fated--destiny is made flesh. No longer a criminal, you are ordained superior a leader of historical note.
I write next of the current CON the globalized bankers( the same New York based thugs that grabbed 90% of U.S. wealth and ruined a decent middle class society) are operating in Asia. Property is only a spill over in this one. The current Asian CON is in the manufacturing and "industrial sector". The manipulation of labor and commodities and "made" goods are the center of the current swindle. The five banks headquartered in New York run it using the American military and it's executive as implied enforcer and the CIA as the implicit one.
First they corrupt the totalitarian regimes that rule most of Asia. Then finance and encourage a vast manufacturing enterprise that is the largest example of oversupply(overkill) ever engendered. Enlisting their American law enacting partners in the swindle, they use north America as a gullet to stuff, stuff, stuff this excess spewing, disgorging from Asia. The main supplier China is used much like the housing and lending sectors were used in the housing swindle.
China, a manufacturing source, is far more important as a demand agent. They fuel an unrealistic industrial transformation of every local economy thru out Asia and S.E. Asia, that is financed by the swindlers. (by by farms, oh have some cheap american grain)
China is used as an assembly platform and shipping port for the goods(cheap) that meet the marginal demand in developed markets. The demand is fueled by low prices made possible by manipulation of currencies. China and other Asian economies must destroy their rural base as well. Millions of people are dislocated to the cities and alienated from the land, their independent food source.
Transformed into urban cheap labor they assemble the marginal low cost goods that act as the final death sword to western industrialized societies.(laying ground work for next swindle)
The banker tools are many. One is the recruitment, by a promise of wealth and social stratification of foolish short sighted stooges and shills. The main recruitment grounds are western dominated graduate business schools. However, the main and most powerful tools are trade laws, destruction of organized labor, and currency manipulation. These same tools, minus a living labor voice, will be used to feed the fire, soon to start. Have you positioned yourself on the Vulture wire?
Can you live without blue ray? Is it acceptable to you to have blueberries once a year? The trap is soon to be sprung. The early signs are starting to appear in Chinese real estate markets. The growing political consensus for, "trade restraints" and currency corrections, point to an equity concern, lack of confidence in money funds etc. This is the spark that the ownership class fan on the eve of an auto-de-fe. Jump jump to the vulture wire.
Fingering overcapacity and labor demands the squeeze starts, a conflagration made in hell by those that burn money from both ends. Are they inspired by heaven? Do they possess the secret? Are they diseased individuals that have grouped together within and across borders for centuries playing this age old CON?
Is it simply advanced global CAPITALISM operating its self replicating mole faced digging? --A system for the SYSTEM-

america unchained
BREAK FREE THE CHAINS, for the time is now. America leave the chains of tradition and history and forge five new countries out of the rusty iron of yore.
The riches stacked in vaults along the eastern seaboard can bring glitter to the slag of the ruined industrial might, the rust belt blight. The Eastern cities, repositories of America's richest will be paired with Detroit, Toledo, Rochester, and other cities once hives of industy.
America, once fifty strong, to survive, must as all great fortunes, devolve, into five young states. When fate unrolls this bold plan, the guiding hand is heaven sent.
Texas can stand alone awash in gooey black while the western states with Colorado and its water form another. The South always solid will join and fight the middle nine for a border state. They the fountain of grain and soy will feed the others. The liberal east, bundled tight against the Atlantic wind is the fifth.
America, once fifty strong, to survive, must as all great fortunes, devolve, into five young states. When fate unrolls this bold plan, the guiding hand is heaven sent.

Aloha New thoughts! Well! Current Pope has discovered that god extends to aliens. If aliens than god created them. Makes sense--omnipotent, creator of all things and I suppose non-things; wonder wonder I can sleep! It is good that these "minds" are working this out or baking the ever extending circle pie. My trouble-- it says nothing- so what! If they argue; there are infinite points between two points and on both sides of a point, than I say, you are saying something. But no, instead they engage a tailor to extend the circumference of god's skirt. Next we here that God is (logos um um well um) subject to the laws of natural selection- or the consensus of his nature or exposed parts are --um or or, (Robert Wright's new book, "God's Evolution"), same problem--- so! In a mathematical argument we learn that infinity is bounded and unbounded. In a wishy washy argument we learn; I no longer like grass, well here have some bark. Logic, rigorous thought often confronts, merry-go- rounds. Wonder of wonder, the merry-go- round- will always win, if put to a vote, a test of minds. The need for agreement, conformity will trump truth at least for humans, and I suspect most other social organisms. Truth abstracted is the beauty not sung the gem unseen ----- the real not real- the materialist bows to Simon, I got talent, or better to the earnest purveyor of monkey bones, ground just right, that cures baldness. word study "hokum"-- placed close to ; "need for tenure", " my editor wants sale". Thinker says-- "I got needs!!! too"

a new- a new metaphysics -excuse me.
Love emerges when we embrace in a shared fear. When an individual, alone, shaking embraces faith in and with the outside (other) the heart opens and one is bathed in love. There is no other path to internal and eternal peace, except through an embrace of the other. One must cry before the cross, not an old cross, but a brothers current burden, outside from ours.

rationalization is survival
First; I have been perplexed for years why Bush and comrades went with a devasting, costly and foolish war in Iraq, instead of a surgical removal of Saddam. Recently, I have come to a reason that I believe is theirs. Historical lessons are such that it is a sure thing that the Gulf oil kingdoms are doomed. I know this as clear as I know that my life will end. The Bush cabal is an intimate business partner with the leaders of these soon to be historical has beens. A wrecked, hugely disabled Iraq becomes a buffer a no mans land between the Kings of sand and oil and the popular governments of elected, historical ascendant muslim states. A resurrected, democratic, well functioning modern Iraq was never the intention. Second, private capital in the hands of, private investment banks(rich really rich people), do not like balanced budgets, so a credit card war. This crucial policy allowed for a few more decades of gold sheiks and decades of debt servitude for Americans. Third, both the Bush family and the oil/gold sheiks believe in dynasty. Family, clan and dynastic wealth and its ascendency must be protected, perpetuated and enhanced. The enemy of this identity is progressive, democratic and popular 'will' based states.(coherent nations) For all of this to survive, rationalization is needed- hence the current contradictory rhetoric from leaders and their courtiers.

ooze inside
Genes configure us. Culture/experience make us. Situations confound us and genetics limit our options. So the circle is; we drink because we have a hand, a glass and a thirst. If a drink is proscribed, and we are watched, despite a hand, a glass and a thirst we do not. Science must bow to the unhitched truth of social studies. Social studies must quit the illusion that it is science.

big bucks bucker boo a nation is toast
Democracies, after a while start to look like stock companies; one share one vote, not one citizen one vote. This happens because some members have a pathological desire for shekels. Little can prevent this. Ministers in high office, guardians of the peoples interest fall into toadyism and become grubs of gold. For a time damage to the democracy is checked by the folk traditions of shunning and tar and feathering. But the bloated bags of dough, the wealthy upper class, avoid this public humiliation (and the risk of losing their bags of gold)by preaching and reaching for EMPIRE. Hence, one of history's great ironies appears. The liberal democratic state transforms into a rabid international thug,a parody of itself. The good citizens of the democratic state are kept at bay(pray)by the poetry and loot of these "just" adventures into beyond border foraging. I as poet, assure all, that this under the fence grazing ends in death: the soldier citizen's death on the bloody fields of conquest, the death of innocent foreign(alien) people on the field of robbery and rape. They arise martyred, these collateral- the wretched regrets- to shame heaven and seal the destiny of demise that awaits all empires. However, the death that oozes the longest and utters the most pathetic rattle, is the death of the body politic that chose empire. It happens at a dance, a dance preformed naked, by skeletal bodies jumping up and down, flapping their arms as if wings going round and round a silent super gun, a one of a kind, monster, without ammo. It is revered as god. Perched on top this marvel, are admirals and generals dressed in peacock cock finery. They are lead in song by pinstriped suited, black shiny oh so shinny shod, good on t.v. guys and gals. The crazed citizens of the democratic EMPIRE expire unaware of their delusions, a folk who quit the great sport of shunning and tar and feathering for the worship of killing. The few citizen pathogens now exposed in victory slither over the bones singing; I've got it all,all more and still more all! The song is ended- now Hark and Mark marc; poet of empire--- All hail! HAIL liberty fish, bilibby bissh and hibbity dish, hooray!

Winter tea time afternoon
I began to recite my poem about pooh. but my daughter said oh heaven no I'll leave the room
instead
a tite crystal morning light is giving way to a wash of dulling gray
a buzzz---so gentle----hums through the high ceilin room
silver plates piled high with white and brown squares, some are circles, host cucumber slices and a dull red paste. Green olives,sliced-thin as skin, caped with pimento, rest on a white paste-adorn more. All all are
propelled about the room by women dressed in black crepe. Just below the belly is a lacy, stiff, dainty white-oh so white apron tied a slight inch above the hips. Nylons rolled just below the knee.
spoon and cup
the chime-the cling clang of spoon and cup reverberate the room-the chime punctuates,modulates, insinuates the haze of chatter within the room.
this winter tea time afternoon, winter tea time afternoon
cups and saucers cups and saucers no not flyin saucers this tea time afternoon this teatime afternoon.

pachyderms and paper
It is now, yes now that a Melville arises and creates the great work of literary daring demanded by the new century. It is full of allusions to those brave souls who came and went before; George Orwell, Ernest Hemingway, T. C. Boyle, many others who will be gathered sooner or latter. These pioneers were willing to hazard attempts to scale a wrinkled grey Goliath. Puny minds will share a boat with a tiger but only the free est, craziest and those most willing to attempt the near impossible would share a field with -yes, share a page with- yes, share an afternoon with, and oh oh ouu share a peanut with an elephant.
Oops, see I said it; share anything with an elephant. Attention memory, the elephant jokes, the elephant anecdotes, the children genre swarms with flies on the backs of elephant stories. Elephants are like air, water and hair, just about everywhere. and SOON TO BE NO MORE!
My wife is ga ga over the beasts. She is transformed, transmuted, transcended, harmonized, rectified, invigorated and just name it, all this by spending a week with her giant Thailand pet "wan-na" ! She is inscrutable , a laughing, insatiable, joyful , "wan-na". Men, old men young men, never middle age men, go to Thailand for_______well maybe teeth repair but never (no more) for elephants.
Thai elephants, the abandoned behemoths, draw thousands of female teachers from all over the world to spend a week maybe two riding, climbing and bathing and snorting in a brown stained river. Next, hours preparing repetitive tasks for a daily climatic moment, the parade, the parade of all parades-- hooray for the elephants!
Ladies of the world have gathered and are making paper from elephant dung. Move over darlings and Horton, the new kingdom a new Asia is rising on the backs of the gentle giant beasts, no longer on the backs of fair young ladies. Teachers are drawn to these abandoned giants as once to Krishnamurti or Gandhi, dare I say Christ.
I overstate, yet men of the past took stock, polished the wallet and trekked to far away spots to tea and pee in the bush and hunger for a shot. A precise , intense moment to shoot an elephant and return to humdrum, a Man with trophy. I find it a refreshing change that now the world's teachers flee for a short two weeks to hot, humid forests in the highlands of Thailand to commune with lumbering , long snouted, taciturns.
They carry no gun, no arrows, just the faces of their young students to whom they soon return with pictures and smiles and a heart of joy.
