Going Rouge: An American Nightmare

**AH**BS**F**Bomb.....Me head is spinning.........

btw i am sorry i did not edit this stuff, I don't have the time straight from the gut...sorry hit me over the head maybe i'll edit it later:)

N, wow I knew it was Vassar your post had a patrician quality to it rather than the rigid catholic dogma, but I had to hedge my bet.

I am techno-regionalist, which is a name I just coined for myself, not wanting to resort to ordinary labels.

I have only made it through half of Ron Chernow's book on Alexander Hamilton, so I am unsure if I am ready to adopt A.H. handle on what has become American Capitalism. Although if I did adopt AH many people would agree it suits me well, but not the kind of AH the kind of AH patriot but AH as in body part.:)

I am a romantic, so adopting the AH spin of free markets, debt and federalism that America embraced that could be claimed to be rooted in Beacon, has a warm feeling to it.

I mean these are magic lands, no doubt the majesty of the mountains meeting the water cannot be abused or under estimated. For many reasons the importance of the region in the days of our Nations founding are no less significant today.

I could list them, perhaps another day....

Back to techno-regionalism. I believe the rank order of geography has out lived its usefulness particularly in the context of the historical accidents that now to undo them will require hysterical announcements of doom and gloom.

So setting aside the Village, Town, City, County, State structure to regional cooperation is not likely to occur without a reshuffling of the deck so to speak.

Because the NYS Constitution has but 298 words out of 57,316 on education, and much is spent on the powers of the legislature to do as they please, the only evident directive is that their be a Board of Regents of not less than 9.

If the State were to be divided into nine regions of 2 million +/- 30% and all educational activities were administered by the regents with one regent in charge of each of the nine several goods things would happen.

1) The rape n pillage that almost occurred with the Legislature this past week would not occur as it has annually since about 1860, or since the advent of Lee K. agency since about 1856. To be less cryptic the Legislature came close to taking the school data runs of 700 districts and doing the cuts that always creates winners and losers. With nine districts and a regional academic structure the voters in the counties and academia would do better as each would have the tools to fend for themselves on the division of the whole 1/9 and within each region a County government could assure fairness across any region.

2) Higher education would be compelled to have a more useful and productive relationship with not only the pk-12 schools but with training to meet local job force schools.

3) An empowered region that shares its intellectual resources for the good of its region is far better off to compete for capital in its varying forms for job creation and infrastructure. In doing so private institutions already reliant on numerous public subsidies need not surrender its autonomy per se, but is empowered to partner on a legitimate basis with the mechanisms of government in an open fashion as a partner and not an object of political lobbying or political pandering.

I dare say that had the nine educational district of New York had the same access to the Federal Reserve Bank as Capital Investment Banks and Human Investment Banks (university of NY ?) then Bear Stearns would have been more usefully sold for two billion dollars to the University of New York for investment in NYS human capital as opposed to the predatory bank across the street.

I could wax on as for the calculations on why the sale would have been good for NYS, perhaps another day.

In simplest terms, the world map makers who in there infinite wisdom divided the Kurds into numerous territories Turkey Iraq, Iran and Syria to name a few ill-served humanity as well soon be felt as the Kurds control of water in Turkey becomes more acute in the next 20 year.

We all know the story of Israel versus it neighbors, N. vs. S. Korea Vietnam, China vs. Twain etc.

America in all its splendor has yet to offer the world a useful working structure, example if you will for local empowerment of regional common good. We have the capacity to do so in the Hudson Valley, our ability to endure the obstacles makes us stronger in the world that can benefit from our leadership and endurance. Among the obstacles is tenacity, to focus on the task at hand, tenacity is my leadership skill. This is my political orientation. Truth is not difficult to discern in the use of technology, and holding hands for the common good of neighbors can only occur with truth....and that is all I have ever want for myself ...simple freedom and truth from this and this alone we all become free.

That Sir, my friend n, is all I have ever sought.

As for your more probative question yesterday what would I do with Fifty Billion....I actually have an answer, and like much that I concoct...be prepared to be just a little bit surprised:).

re: /m31052 I would be interested in seeing the Glass Apple presentation, as well. Sharing this document with the community would lend a great deal of credibility to Mr. Gebman's arguments. Such an act of good faith would begin to assuage the nagging anxiety that your actions are grounded in fiction and are intended to screw your neighbors.

yours endlessly, etc.

So you continue to rely upon the mechanics of a government that you claim restrains your right to free trade? You have this "evidence", and will require that people that want to better understand your position, have to go to the very institution that you mistrust so much?.

Maybe, since the courts (and the general public) have so far refused to hear you, it might be a good idea to flush some of your data into the public stream directly? You shouldn't worry about proprietary issues. The technology has certainly gone well beyond anything you could be protecting from a decade or more ago.

By the way, a copy of your "presentation" is probably no more than a few hundred megs max (probably much less). I can handle it.

Mr. Gebman,

I appreciate your taking the time to respond and post it here. I am particularly fond of your analysis of my name, but I think you may have missed, or ignored, the significance of our changing understanding of π, while continuing to place far too much importance on what is ultimately an editorial choice.

It has not been my intention to attack the messenger, and feel some distress that you feel attacked, as I have focused my energy on attempting to receive a coherent message from you. Perhaps this is a misguided effort. If I typed significantly slower, I might consider this all a waste of time.

I find great humor in your mention of Vassar. I have had a relationship with the institution. There was a time when my appearance on campus would precipitate action by the PPD to remove me. And I have, indeed, provided my services to certain Ivies. I have far greater respect, however, for the teaching and learning happening at the community colleges across the country than any of the behemoth private and public institutions. You may see this as paradoxical, but its my bias and I'm sticking by it.

I was not in the least offended by the profanity in your post. I enjoy dropping the occasional well-timed F-bomb (better, by far, than A- and H-bombs). I prefer my adversaries make an effort, and I am not unwilling to coach them to higher levels.

It saddens me greatly that you see these as personal attacks. I try to be probing, and think I have asked some very good questions which go unanswered.

So here is one, and everyone is welcome to answer: What kind of Patriot are you? Jeffersonian, Palinist, Beck Tea-bagger, militia McVeigh-ite (who, deluded, thought he was fighting tyranny), PATRIOT Act, free-market, compassionate conservative, fiscally responsible liberal, socialist, etc.

The rhetorical point being: claims of patriotism really detract from the substance of the conversation. While I do not embrace all of the diverging views of my friends, colleagues, and acquaintances, I wholly embrace their rightness in possessing them and any friction that develops as a result we try to keep healthy and productive. Wrapping oneself in the flag is weak justification.

Me? I am a fan of the idea of no government, but find representative democracy adequate. I find the dynastic trends, the false fiscal conservatism, and the lack of compassion of the FoxNews-Republican Party abhorrent. I object strongly to the two-party system, though think it is significantly better than a one-party system. Politicians are scoundrels, not in the good Han Solo way, but in the Dire Straits "Money for Nothin'" way.

I worked with someone in dotCom startup whose last name was "Holdsworth". I joked at the time that I was going to change my last name to "Addsvalue". What are you doing *now* to add value?

And where the F is JoeMelzingah? Drop some rhymes for us, Big Papa.

Bradford Race Secretary to Governor Pataki acting on behalf of the Governor on June 14, 1995 did so by letter.

Subsequent to that anyone writing the State from within NYS or outside NYS seeking the data I needed to publish, was given an affidavit to sign attesting that under the penalty of perjury jail and fine that the data recipient would not share the data with me.

Copies of the letter Greg as well as the State prepared affidavit suborning a felony restraint of trade have been part of the public record Greg for 13 years.

How did the Governor of New York shut your company down? What was the name of the company? What was it's primary business purpose?

I might add Greg, when the Governor’s office shut my software company down on Flag Day June 14, 1995, this act was followed several weeks latter by an invitation from NYS in a partnership offer that was later converted to an RFP.

On or about November 1995, an RFP response and NYNET, Inc. business plan was provided to ORPS (Lee K agency). You should be able to FOIL these two documents about a hundred pages in total.

I might add the partnership offer to NYS would have offset that agencies then operating cost from $20 million annually then to $0. The partners in my presentation were Verizon (NY Telephone), Intel, and Kodak to name a few, also the founding Dean of the NYU Graduate program in Real Estate. Once receiving the intelligence NYS declined to act on the RFP, days after the deadline to appeal the decision of NYS to deny me the data in the future.

(I forgot to reread and edit, I love the authenticity of just writing and not editing, but to placate the purest a few edits are made)

LOL are you serious, LOL. Greg first of all the document I allude to is "GLASS APPLE" it was a 120 page report with 50 color Excel charts. This 1998 analysis of the US phone system was built off in part Bear Stearns data for the then existing phone network structure. A forecast of construction cost of fiber deployment in NYC curbs was made, and a patent was applied for the densest 50 American Cities. The viability of the internet fiber deployment to home when contrasted with structured browser yields indicated a certain affordability for fiber deployment. Noting that the capital investment required of the physical plant was fractional to various methods for paying for it.

In sum Greg, the software I published in 1994-1996 morphed into a product never released because the data that is required for its release has been denied to me feloniously since 1995 by New York State and Beacon City actors.

However to get to the baseline utility of the product of which I speak one need not digress from the current status of NYS property tax system methodologies and assess to what extent the current paradigm aids or detracts from fair taxation on Main Street in Beacon.

When you understand this nuance, fair market organization of taxation, transfers, efficient banking and securitization of real estate is readily obtainable and extremely profitable. It is the understanding of the market place as required under NY State law (and elsewhere) for property taxation that provides the honest vessel for real estate market cogency that in large measure fueled what is known as the sub-prime and CMO / CDO market collapse.

Back to Glass Apple, the report was given to the City of Beacon well over half a decade ago, it was an effort to suggest that free fiber in Beacons curbs five years ago would help Main Street, I suspect the report was lost, but I know Lee K saw it because he made a snide remark to me about it one day, well before the time he became Director of the Agency that refuses to give me the data I am otherwise Constitutionally eligible to receive.

So Greg ask Beacon City government if you can see Glass Apple? As for publishing it for market consumption I think its in the public record among the thousands of pages of information I have provided the Courts.

I do however, intend to make it available upon the release of my library of documents currently being cataloged.

Clark,

If I give you a public (shared) Dropbox or Google folder address, can you provide me your presentation documents regarding your software program?
