Our Third Industrial Revolution

Our Third Industrial Revolution requires the leadership of women. Only the ladies in politics can assure sanity, serenity & seriousness of honest purpose.

The previous civilizing civilizations had plenty of goddesses & imperial queens, dictating human behavior & women’s minor share in decision making. The 20^th century also knew a few powerful women presidents & prime ministers.

The attempt of female power in Sri Lanka (Ceylon) was required as the sequence to a husband’s, & then, a mother’s murder. I witnessed the election of the daughter & her inauguration before she was 3^rd to be assassinated.

India accepted Nehru as the successor to murdered Gandhi but not his daughter or grandson to succeed him. Both fell victims to assassins. The son’s Italian wife was appointed to succeed. She was smart enough to reject such honors. And there were bloody events in an otherwise rather tolerant nation which tried very hard to pass as a democracy while surrounded by violent, aggressive & orthodox (born-again) Muslims.

Israel’s woman prime minister with educational & socialistic American ideas went down to defeat because, as a pacifist, she couldn’t understand Islamic friends & foes.

Only Margie Thatcher was acceptable to conservative Great Britain because she was more of a warrior than Queen Elizabeth I & II. With President Reagan’s help, she reconquered the Falkland Islands from Argentinian militarists & thereby got them to lose people’s confidence.

In this century we have a female uprising almost timed together in Chile & Liberia. A prosperous Latin land may get people-friendly Socialists to influence U.S. funded free enterprise. There is hope for a peaceful, just & successful binding of many wounds inflicted by military Fascists.

Liberia’s President-Elect should be our burden because it was our “colony” for freed slaves. Civil War, H.I.V. & poverty there are our fault. We have to guide, without dictating, democratic progress, creation of decent jobs, cures for national sickness & suffering. The New Age could arise just there.

Germany tired to become rather independent of our occupation forces. For a while, Germany & France seemed to be friend & partner of Russia’s Red Fascist Putin. But the German majority cannot forget that it was the USSR which destroyed them & Hitler & took some revenge this late in history. There is no explanation for Germans suddenly electing a pro-American conservative woman to the presidency of a minority government.

Ireland is the grand riddle. After its clergy was a bit peeved, Irish entrepreneurs developed some independence from British hegemony. The result was great computer development, a woman at the top of their democracy & even at the head of the European government. The present lady ruler of the Philippines needs US to stay in power. As did her lady precursored Aquin’s widow.

Nothing can last long these difficult times. But ladies have been tried in political experimentation. They learned more lesions than those who rejected them. But women are there to stay. With more men murdered than women, they are the majority. If they vote for their own political boon, they can be the stronger sex. Even the most macho Muslim states have recognized that fact. Once they murdered their own daughters & sisters for having disgraced their family (when attacked without their fault). We shall yet see a world-wide united front for peace & harmony, for justice & for good jobs & all the other requirements of modern democracies. Only women can achieve all these ends. Only women can guarantee US a better world & end our Third Industrial Revolution.

It will also be necessary that we groom a great woman & lady for the US Presidency. Condi would have the mind and administrative training. But her reputation is stained by her servility to a militant, macho men regime. There should be 1000 worthy candidates for the world’s highest & most important office. Ladies prepare yourselves for the tasks ahead!

Since President Reagan expelled a million mentally challenged people out of asylums, shelters, nursing homes, mass-quarter & veterans’ establishments, we have had a serious problem of homelessness. How could a “human” being dare to ponder that these poor people loved & preferred the freedom of the streets without being castigated by our entire Nation. We have become the devil’s helpmates by considering him a good President.

To good Republican youngsters the homeless folks are a shame like the H.I.V. victims. They lure one or two of them into dark street corners or lonely alleys & kick them or baseball-bat them to pulp, even murder quite a few. I heard some of these young criminals called national heroes.

What a stain on our honor! How evil these drummerboys, mantled in the clock of patriotism, Republicanism & Reaganism!

Mr. Bill Gates & all those preferred by the Bushits may still have inner sparks of humanism in them. They combine all efforts to cure the problem of H.I.V. with that of homelessness. Start building large “colonies” of tiny houses for a lonely one, for 2 together whether married, related or just friends & families in need of a permanent address which is fireproof, storm proof & attack proof.

They could have their won security guards, firemen & women, special clinics & hospice for the dying, or something different and better, planned by real experts, good specialists. Without a national plan for ending our national disgrace in these matters our Third Industrial Revolution is no solution for anything we dare to boast of in a more perfect democracy.

D. Ward Hock worked hard to become CEO of the National Bank-Americard which we knew & used as Visa (international). He organized a global electronic data network. Soon Visa found more clients than American Express & Mastercard. He actually revolutionized that credit-card industry by using magnetic strips to further direct electronic transfers from bank to bank.

Of course, Mastercard & the one of aging but still solid American Express still use fairly nice & civilized advertizing. But there is the nasty, noisy, cruel & outright violent T.V. showing of “Capital One” or similar trash. I would never deal with these most barbarian savages. I must even condemn the idiot-actor who personifies the moron-victim of cruel treatmen. How can anyone assume that this banit-ad on T.V. gains clients with criminal conduct!

Capital One has the most expensive, most evil violence & most aggressive private infestation into our lives to teach kids to become cruelly aggressive & murderous users of a most unnecessary & older boys use this as their 10^th credit card, amass huge debts & let payment take care of itself. Like merchants who don’t compare the card photo with the looks of the shopper. The insurance pays & just charges higher interest.

Still I get angrier each of the 105 times that I am offered another credit cart through the (dis)courtesy of all businesses. I once did a little business with. I resent this torture & tricking into additional cost to me while my local bank takes automatic care every month of my rare use of their Visa card at no expense whatever. My only retaliation is now to mail back the postage paid envelopes to the terrorizers.

Japan pioneered modern robots as cheap & most reliable factory workers, even for refining methods & speedy production. Sony & Fugi ruined Eastern Kodak which I still prefer because of their name in natural – colored films. In Guam Sony heads ruined my film to prove that my good Canon needed repair in Chinese branch shop of theirs around the corner. I was told to return for the camera at 5 o’clock, just before closing time.

Stupidly, I let the Nipponese know that my airport taxi would pick me up at that time at the hotel on the opposite side of the street. I got my camera right after having paid $60 & was pushed out of the door, the iron shutter rolled down behind me. I couldn’t get back in when I saw that the push button was broken out; I only heard loud laughter about old people’s idiocy or trust in humanity. That was my 60^th lesson of weakness to capitalists since I turned 80. 15 years more mistreatment, threats & exposure to robbery taught me only that business education is not always short of psychological destruction. At inquests their victims are declared of having died from natural causes.

Here I could repeat my cruel treatment by the German Reichsbahn & their several thefts by resetting dates of ticket purchases & threatening to collect a few hundred Euros through my credit card if I don’t buy the offered yearlong special ticket which I neither ordered nor could use in Hawai’i. Watch out old guys if you are alone & don’t have with you one or several witnesses, you will be pushed around, insulted, threatened & put against the wall.

What would our computer scientist have achieved without the creative gift of Raymond C. Kurzweil. He invented a reading machine for the blind based on printing the words & sentences. Next he authored a computers musical keyboard. He was not yet 40 years of age when he used a computer for automatic speech recognition. His Kurzweil Voice system was the first which automatically transferred any tone & of course, human voice directly to his computer. Physicians used his computer to give voiceless patients an understandable voice.

William S Burroughs may not be revived after more than a century’s in internity. But his pioneering genius initiated some of our latest, rally-needed novelties. I didn’t know of his first great adding machine because I learned all the tricks of oral arithmetic. But good business people, with no theoretical know-how, appreciated his automatic aid in adding up to something & easily compiling long listings. Building on his improvements, Burroughs’s Corporation grew into the computer trickery by realizing that our binominal system lent itself to electric calculations of merchants in a hurry.

This historian was often “used” by computer teachers without any mathematical background whenever their students revealed to them that I could use all basic operations fast enough for them on the black board (before it turned green) almost as fast as their rapid-fire machine. Since those modest beginnings of the computer age, hordes of mavines leapfrogged over each other from hard disks to wobbly ones.

Strangely, though many of the best computer operators & innovative intelligence comes from abroad, the locals around San José, Boston & New York etc. make their billions and dirty nest eggs although many of our most resourceful co-workers fear or suffer unemployment. That is hard to take when one got spoiled by the luxuries which keep our economy on a par i.e. the billionaires get ever richer & our poor immensely poorer, just as the “Intelligent Designer”, had forecast or determined: “The poor shall always be among (with) US”.

How many named Watson have been involved in modernizing communications since the haleyon days of Alex Bell? But few namesakes will ever reach the power of Thomas J. Watson (1874 – 1956). At Dayton’s National Cash Register, he grew to become general manager. Taking the clicks of the punch card with him, he founded “International Business Machines” which made his world monopoly famous as I.B.M.

Though slow & without a scientific mind, Watson was considering computer pioneering instead of sticking to old-fashioned punch cards. His son Thomas J. Junior (1914 – 93) took up the slack with a vengeance as the new president since 1952 & chairman soon after.

I think it was his schoolteacher sister & her husband, a former Air Force colleague of his brother – in – law, who traveled with me to Tahiti when I organized the flight etc. of over 100 colleagues. This Watson working office commander always sought my company. He paid for taxis in Pateete for our private tour, & back in Hilo we visited his wartime officers’ rest camp in the Volcano Nat. Park. A strange trio of close relationships although I had trouble to understand his compute lingo & his & his wife’s desire to have me join them all day.

Without me, all 3 were involved in the renting out of their latest machinery at monopoly prices. No sales at all! Even Ross Perot had to get rich as a salesman for I.B.M. who was making a fortune or rental commissions until the courts enforced sales, which invigorated a dozen others to pioneer ever newer software.

In 1962 the only 32 – year – old Ross Perot chose Dallas as the location of his EDS, “Electronic Data Systems”. Since his people included servicing his computers & software, the man grew from millionaire to one of the first billionaires before he made his private enterprize in a public corporation. He quickly took over the US President’s monopoly in foreign affairs & finally ran against Bill Clinton with another Third Party. Perot gained 19% of our votes enough to take away the victory from Vice President Bush Sr. if “his” party had nominated him again, he would have also spoiled the undeserved victory of Bush Jr.

Anyway, now there are plenty of computer sages, all billionaires with Bill Gates the richest “soft” head for the poor & afflicted.

Bill Gates was a prodigy even before his teenage years. He soon wrote programs & DOS for IBM’s International Business Machines, personal computer. Nobody has to tell you how the Gates’s software conquered our world & still keeps us from financially caving in although the microchips as well as every metal & plastic parts are outsourced. Thanks to such ruthless anti-patriotism, India & China may become the future computer empires. We are settled with trillions of debts by self – destruction through concentrating “our” wealth in only thousand pockets. The rest of our Nation will join the poor of the Third World unless we sink further & start a Fourth World.

Steven Jobs & Stephen Wozniak started their applicatory computer advancement in a poor garage. In the mid-seventies they came up with their first Apple compute. Their McIntosh computers were readily bought by less inventive computer lovers. A new commercially – trained John Scully got rid of jobs who soon found a new outlet of his energies. He founded NeXT & reestablished his love for personal computers & for the user frenzy of our days.

William Hewlett, with better educational credentials from MIT, formed the famous friendship & partnership with David Packard earlier on. They found a garage not far from Stanford University. There they built their first audio oscillator which let to computer work. Packard moved to the presidency of HP or hp but got lost in politics. Their successors depended too much on a novice in computerism. To my mind the Windows of Gates’s Microsoft spoiled the hard disk of hp.

Warner & Turner were the idols of politicians & political communicators. The former thanks his cabinet posts to his wedding with the Mellon fortune. His short marriage with Elizabeth Taylor added lots of glamour & recognition.

The former’s media connection were aggrandizedly Turner. From billboard entrepreneur, he headed into broadcasting in the grenades style. Taking advantage of the public enthusiasm for popular sports, he developed the Cable New Network. That grew into the “Turner Broadcasting System”. When he started peaceful collaboration with Eastern Communism & married Jane Fonda, he made himself the Man of the Year. His internationalization was well-accomplished by CNN & its continuous news.

Temporarily succumbing to a Disney co-career his old company’s Verizon Wireless vs Digital Cable revived his name but not his enthusiasm for a national economy. Still, he let US into the Third Industrial Revolution a little bit before its time.

With the new age in full development, the old music records, the tapes, T.V. Video, V.D. C.D. are getting old-fashioned including the DVD. The sum of these newer gadgets keep developing into billion dollar industries which an aged layman doesn’t comprehend. But I wish all the many pioneers of voice & its expression on the continuous overdrive if not too loudly expressed over the air, the street & the combined world community.

Sun “Commercial Data Systems”, I.B.M., Microsoft & all the other biggies cannot remain far behind. All the communications’ billionaires are hard at work to come up with ever more tricky “soft” tricks, trying to beat the Japanese, Chinese & Indians at the common trade. Can Eastman – Kodak contribute its share after firing so many experienced & intelligent scientists?

Who knows how much of the Warner blood flowed in from Poland via London, Ontario & Baltimore before there were airplanes but lofty ideas. The “Warner Brothers”, born as Eichelbaunes, risked what little they owned in early movie production. In a modest way, Al Jolson as the “Jazz Singer” launched them into big Hollywood class. The post – W.W. II ebb cost them their chain of cinemas. Also, our government didn’t like them. They were not the natural business class which speculated on the glorious future of T.V.. The succeeding Warners were better money handlers & practical economists. Since this long lasting T.V. & Movies adoration requires healthy metabolism & working cells which build up. But the natural occasionally bankrupt some of that creationism as the present low-down of this gigantic organizm proves which still a rich money-supplier.

Inspirationals have become a modern industry for smart-ass blabbermouths. But usually, there are huge awards for clever posing leading questions about questionable pre-cooked answers. Meaninglessness is usually worked into some gospel-gasping game. Yet, a hundred thousand beneficiaries of common-sense truths or appearance of it have taken the wordiness for the real thing & have been used to rebuild business practice &, with luck, created a small fortune.

Obvously, such bellowing is a new religion preached since the other Carnegie’s public speechifyings. Oh, Dale, what have you done to full veracity?

Many were thinking in Dale Carnegie’s tracks that Billy Graham was playing the same game with larger audiences. That preacher used a Jesus of his imagination to do the indirect job of money gathering with a bit of a scoundrel’s gift. In fact, Billy used Jefferson’s idea of separation of State & Church to keep his huge income secret. He got away with it – never reported to the IRS, never paid taxes & kept glorying in the friendship if not always in the discipleship of Presidents, Kings & thousands of leading money producers. No income tax to deduct from royal take-ins.

As the Gra – ham began to totter, dozens of born – again dys – ciples competed for early succession. They were tricky enough to get access to Jesus Himself, talked with Him & assisted Him to understand the new life. Did Jesus repeat that nobody rich could go to Heaven? Maybe he relented just a little bit. Then, quickly, these new preachers added to their collection plates huge satellite dishes. Listeners could set their own big price on salvation. Dishes were filled with hundred dollar bills & bigger checks. They all expanded this splendid business by way of big-time broadcasts, mass – con – vergins & imperial demeanor.

Only one could become the King Kong of healers, dealers & owners of themeparks, recreation spas & series of resort places. It was Pat Robertson, with Farwell’s approval who saw himself fit to become the 1^st Publican President of US. He tried his hardest to forswear publicly his intention to make Church & State one great unit of worldmastery. To his eternal dismay his votes represented only a huge minority. Pat tried to make amends, so he could apply himself to a bigger replay.

Did Jesus perhaps ask Patty what he had done to His real brothers who lived on it Israel? Or did his devoted groupies come to a mommentus decision for him? He & his collected enough money to buy many Russians, be they Jews, half-Jews, quarter Jews or quarter horses, of good size & fighting quality. He told them to go to Israel & join its defenders against evil suicide – bombers but not call the more accurate targeting of gang leaders in Palestineian terror groups assassins, exactly what most Americans, Europeans & all Mohammedans called the bedraggled defenders of their own little homeland.

Nobody ever called President Bus assassin when he targeted a hundred enemies of these United States & got some top haters killed but not “assassinated”.

Only time will tell whether the collection of billions for charities will forever remain untaxed. To many thousands of pious souls get their additional millions by founding & heading, monster charitable – contribution collection agencies who dedicate a tiny part of their loot to the cause they pretend to serve. Since more than 90% of these charities which begin & end at their homes are connected with Churches, Synagogues, Mosques, Shrines & Temples, they are the big businesses which all indulge in the freedom from taxation, in the purchase of social, economic & political power & in the buying of a President, Congress person in both Houses, Judges & all the top administrators who don’t need to take Civil Service examinations.

They may well be the largest & wealthiest industry in our Economy. All the others previously named &, thereby, honored don’t share the ultimate significance of the newest & world – controlling industry of praying & preying reptiles.

Delphi supplies nearly all parts of cars to General Motors. Being bankrupt, could make G.M. a big loser. Paying workers & other employees while there isn’t any construction job to be completed leaves G.M. hopelessly in debt & bankruptcy too.

Delphi & Chevrolet workers face double jeopardy. If they go on strike, they may force more shut-out & closing shop for a hundred thousands who earned enough for a good livelihood. But if they agree to losing most of their passion funds & health insurance, they are not much better off than illegals working on farms at Walmart or the million ever-expanding fat food shops & restaurants. Our Bush economists claims that is a great prospect & proof that his kind of economy is working & will have a future.

Now it has to be the workman who goes bankrupt. For the bankruptcy court allows only restructuring if production cost of the toolie firm goes below competing firms which also import from China, India or a smaller E.A. nation at going prices & continued big salaries for supervisors or the highest-paid bosses. All corporations feed on the workmen paying for the inability, waste & greed of the corporate swindlers.

Could the Delphian augurs & greedy saurians have hidden some billions to feed luxuriously while starving the lowly workers to whom they owe their riches?

ITT was in hiding for a great length of time. But those former telephone & telegraph operatives hit paydirt by paying many of the best students of elite colleges generous scholarships. It may take a few short years before the youngsters can act like conservative geniuses & invent, earn patent rights for ITT & loyally pay back the huge investments in good & industrious minds. Even if we ages may not witness the great renaissance & rebirth of old glory, IT&T still has a great future & with it our United States of All-Americans.

All our huge operations enter the Third Industrial Revolution by firing a few hundred thousand of their lowly employees who so far received decent wages & health & retirement insurance. Those who claimed their super – productivity in comparison with competition in their super – productivity in comparison with competition in Germany, Japan Taiwan, Singapore & China, may save some business & production expenditures. But can illegal immigrants without appropriate skill in language, manual & computerization do any comparable job?
