If it weren’t for spam, I’d get no email.

If it weren’t for game/group invitations, I’d have no contacts with online friends.

If it weren’t for political surveys or pleas for pints of blood plasma, I’d have no phone calls.

If it weren’t for bulk flyers, I’d have no mail.

If it weren’t for my wife, I’d rarely have any face-to-face contact with a person of our species everyday.

In other words, I am normally a solitary writer, a feeling I first had when I was five years old.

I never wanted to write to profit myself financially — I just want to entertain myself using our universe as fodder for a lifelong joke of mine.

I don’t have to be good or great when I write, just get down on paper or online some of the thought patterns that circulate through me when I’m away from pen/paper or electronic writing device.

Cartoonists draw, engineers calculate, artists sketch, gamers play, … and so on.

I, despite the love/hate relationship with symbols, use symbols to represent myself in this moment of our time together.

I use a countdown clock that shows 13742 days left to keep me on track with this storyline.

Speaking of which, so far we have encouraged millionaires and billionaires to not want to share their wealth, building up a larger and larger spread of income/wealth inequality so that, when the time is right, we can foment a worldwide economic class war that results in the destruction of nations as we know them today, leading to a New Newer New Society (conveniently called the NNNS) that is a formalised competing marketplace of ideas, where what we thought of as nations will be simply large tracts of land that are bought and sold to the highest bidder.

We are experimenting with Greece to see if we can use it as a prime example to give you a glimpse of your future.

Since many consider Greece one of the first seats of modern civilisation, we feel it’s only right to use the land mass as a test case for you, breaking it up into sections based on the debt owed/owned per capita, letting the highest bidder decide how to buy the debt, and thus the land, and determine how to profit from it, or repackage it into derivative bonds and resell it, land being the only tangible asset for collateral, the people and their skills being too mobile/transient, more an error correction in formulae for financial accountants.

Many of us are watching the heated argument between the Chinese and Japanese governments over a similar right to sell national property even though people all over the world own islands.

We often forget that Ted Turner owns more land than some national leaders have under their leadership, although Ted has wisely not raised a ruckus about the contiguous pieces of land having more power and solidarity than the nations that say the land is part of them.

Some question whether Barack Obama is the last populist leader of the United States of America before it is officially broken up during the pre-NNNS war.

While we’re on the subject of war, keep in mind that we aren’t talking exclusively about a military war.

It is more a cultural war than military one, although we certainly will use military engagements where the application of the shock doctrine is more efficient.

By the way, we want to thank Naomi Klein for allowing us to make our shock doctrine policy a part of the public, rather than part of our covert/secret, policies; that’s why we allow open discourse on political issues so we can steal appropriate implement our opponents’ ideas as our own and advance our causes more rapidly than closed societies; we also allow foreign nationals to steal our corporate/military secrets so we can gauge their ability to match our business/manufacturing prowess, in case they find a better way that we can steal back from them — we want a headstart on being part of the NNNS’ cutthroat marketplace of ideas.

Many of you will not see the changes taking place because you have not seen the changes that have already taken place, due to our keen sense of timing, our use of the best advertising/marketing teams out there, and our staff of hypnotists we call motivational speakers.

Already, many of you have been convinced that living with less material wealth than your ancestors is a good thing.  Your examples make our hypnotists’ jobs easier, a trick as old as our species, the cumulative effect of mass hypnosis.

So you can see why writing is fun, can’t you?

I can talk all day about phrases like “the emperour’s new clothes” and “anti-government revolution” and make you think you are being radical by writing news articles that “fact-check” the political candidates or being a snitch hero by releasing a secret video as grandson of a former U.S. president, when in fact you are helping our bigger cause (again, “cause” is a symbol for this storyline and not to be confused with Cause, which matches Effect and is only applicable to scientific observations).

I was lucky enough to see how we were able to use the press to our advantage during the Nixon presidency; in fact, Nixon himself told us what was going to happen and to go along with his resignation that would be his stroke of genius, written as plain as day on headlines and in history books, our future signposts in guiding people toward the light.

Nixon made me understand two things: one, every person is important, and two, make sure I emphasise their importance.  If a person wants to believe s/he is an opponent of yours, cement that relationship so you can maximise the exploitation of their ideas by squeezing them for what they’re worth before you take their ideas as your own.  Whether they think they have conquered you doesn’t matter as long as their ideas are flipped around and turned into the next mainstream focus you use to keep people off-balance.

Never, ever let the whole population be in total agreement, or you’ll lose your idea generator — tension between subgroups is the greatest fuel to fire the generator.

If a conflict doesn’t exist, make one.  Avoid the creation of a happy, complacent population that has no incentive to invent, unless they are more useful as income [de]generation for the storyline.

Well, that’s where we are today.

I want to make the U.S. presidential election more exciting but, right now, the storyline is going exactly as planned regardless of the outcome of the election.

I wish I was more important than the storyline but I’m just a writer recording the events for esoterically obscure reasons — your ideas are more important than my observation of them, don’t you see?
