Paul Keating called him recalcitrant. But Dr Mahatir Mohammed, the ex PM of Malaysia, certainly knows how to hit the rational high notes when he gets going...

Conspiracy Theories

Why are they called theories when so many of them are actually facts?!
Here is a very interesting take. Why? Because it is really about the people who have been put into place to do things, rather than about the events themselves. When you get the people being appointed to positions of power it is rarely, if ever, by accident. This story is about the guy who is Hank Paulson's chief of staff. Very interesting history he has too... Who do you think was one of the Bush Administration's key players on the economy? If you say Paulson or Bernanke, you might be half right. But there's another no-name lurking around in the background who tends to be doing the wrong thing at every key moment in the covert history of the Bush (or should we day "Bush League") Republic. His name is Jim Wilkinson. He helped organize the GOP "protest"/obstruction of the Miami election recount in 2000. He was the White House's key media spinner at the Doha Coalition Media Center in 2003. A reporter from Texas said he used techniques first perfected by Stalin. He was an architect of the Republican convention in New York in 2004. He was later dispatched to keep an eye on, and act as "dissembler-in-chief" for Condi Rice. But at a crucial moment in the history of the Western world, Mr. "I work in the shadows" Wilkinson became chief of staff to Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson, the Goldman Sachs embed in the Cabinet. Operative Wilkinson was then given the assignment of monitoring the
world's financial markets in a secret operation modeled no doubt on the
great intelligence plan that produced the Iraq War. Read the rest of the story here.

A Community Problem

Well, I moved to Berry in January, and I thought that I was going to be part of a beautiful small community where life just meanders on blissfully...
How was I to know that a proposed by pass to the town would change that... The problem is that some residents on one side of town don't like the decision that the RTA has made about the building of a by pass road to take the trucking traffic away from the town. It seems like this is being driven by several people who are mainly from Sydney and who have weekend houses and are concerned about the proximity of the new road impacting their real estate values. One of the people is apparently connected to the Labour Party in Sydney and is trying to stir up discontent in the town and then motivate his buddies in Sydney. Here is a video that was shown on State Line putting forward the views of the people who want the RTA study to stand. |
Perceptric Forum
According to Wikipedia a perceptron is a type of artificial neural network. Ergo a “Perceptric” is a person who creates or uses a neural network. The Perceptric Blog is where Chris Gilbey posts thoughts, ideas, and links intended to stimulate thought and accelerate the transfer of ideas. Chris is available for consulting work with the premise that it is not technologies that are disruptive so much as the people that use them. The Perceptric mission is to help companies and people reach their goals and exceed their expectations. This will often mean offering counterintuitive conclusions. Our view? The shortest distance between two points is not necessarily a straight line. It's the number of people needed to be present in a human network to influence and deliver positive decision making. Login
