So...  You truly believe Billy is trying to "help out Humanity?"  Really?  I guess if One defines "helping Humanity" as helping the "elite" stunt it, damage it, make it ill, suck money from it, then, yeah.  He's helping.

But if the crippling "vaccines" He purveys in India are a measure of "helping" in the sense of uplifting, curing, freeing, respecting...  Then efforts to "plan families," as opposed to providing opportunities, can be seen for what it is.

Oh, so little faith in humanity.  A very sad post.  I was expecting a little more walk from the TAP talk.

Faith in Humanity?  I have plenty.  Faith in Those who have climbed the psychopath's ladder to extreme power over Others?  In Those who are at the top of the money/power heap?

WHY would I have faith in THEM?

Two questions:
1- Don't you think people can use the present system to do good?
2- Don't you think people can change?

It is always easier to change from within, then start over, especially with a larger group

2- Don't you think people can change?

If people cannot change then they wouldn't accept TAP either :D

2- Don't you think people can change?

1.  I think it would be possible but for the fact that the bulk of the wealth has (as it always does in money systems) aggregated to the most psychopathic.  THEY do not want to "do good."  THEY want power/control over Others with no regard for the affects Their behaviors and efforts have on the "common" Human.

When no "good" People are left with any power, as We see today, We can hardly expect good to be done on any large scale.

2.  Do You mean the psychopaths in control?  I would doubt it unless We can get Them into treatment.  Heh.  Like THAT will happen.

Seriously, ArMaP, as long as We continue to account for meaningful energy expended through exchange to survive, We WILL see the psychopaths emerging at the top of the money/power heap.  Period.  THEY are the Ones willing to do ANYTHING to get and keep that money/power over Others.

That's because you always link power to money and vice versa, and that doesn't work that way to all people. Do you think all business-men are psychopathic?

Only the Ones with trillions to Their names.  And maybe a fair few with billions...

The closer One is to psycopathy, the higher the likelihood of massive "success" in the business world.

People in general don't have to change - We are caring, loving Beings wanting to make things better.  But the bulk of the wealth is in the hands of a VERY few on this planet and that is the ONLY thing that gives Them power over Us.  And They are psychopathic as evidenced by things like trying to reduce birth rates through sterilization and prophylactics rather than creating opportunities to let wealth flow to the People such that birth rates drop.  As evidenced by "charities" that accrue millions and then use those funds to richly pay the high end administrators and maybe 2% actually is used to help.

I was talking about the opposite, is massive "success" in the business world always linked to psychopathy?

Sterilization is instantaneous, changing the way things work to create opportunities to let wealth flow (while avoiding the creation of opportunities for the diverting of the wealth flow) to the people to create the conditions that allow the birth rates to drop is not instantaneous and, even if it works, things will get worse until then.

Come on, Armap, you don't get to the top without being ruthless :P

That's why i'm only considered a 'second rate mechanic' by my bosses, and their bosses, and the 2 silent partners who siphon off all the money from my sweat.
Because i'm not ruthless, or assertive enough, i don't care what THEY think :P
Do you guys think i'm just a 'second rate mechanic' or just a bit more?

I'm happy with their assessment, i'm a loyal worker ant  :-X

What i do after hours is my business :D

Heck, i can do ruthless, but it's not in my nature to be so, i'm too kind :'(

So i'm not a millionaire 8) OK i understand Armap's point, peeps can change, and not all millionaires are creeps :)

I have decided to be a typically selfish human & decide for myself what's good for me, and how i invest my hard earned cash.

You wil be pleased to know it will be invested in PRC, i'm going to play Bill Gates for a couple of years & then start the 'TAP Foundation'.... ::)

..So there :P

LOL ;D

Pretty much.  Haven't seen a one of Them use Their enormous wealth to improve living for Other Humans - but I do see Them doing whatever makes profit by hiding cures and free energy, promoting "laws" that give Them an advantage, paying workers such that the workers live in poverty, "vaccinations" that are filled with poisons, "laws" that forbid collecting rain water, profiteering in war, pharma, chemicals, medical, food, clothing, shelter, water and air.

Seems it is, yes.  Rockefellers, Rothschilds, etc., ALL exhibit psychopathic tendencies.  The businessHumans that seek betterment never make it to those heights, with MANY, MANY betterment ideas quashed because they threaten profit somewhere of "bigger boys."

Change how?  Why do We need to even ask that?

No sterilization does NOT = creation of more opportunity.  It lowers the numbers living in poverty.  If nothing is done to bring opportunity in, all One does with sterilization is devalue Human life, and leave the sterile Ones just as They were.

Huh?  Most of the high end administrators are also CEO's and attorneys, and other members of society who are in the psychopathic range.  They are not there to help - They are there to make money and gain the power over Others it allows.

Hypocrisy, yes, but on the part of the rich.  The contributors are Us, the caring People, who can't afford Ourselves to bring relief but add what little We can while trusting Our money will go to actually help.  The psychopaths laugh all the way to the bank.

Perhaps it is because if your a nice guy the little peeps take advantage of you :P

We had an Alarm Company in Toronto... basically two people that merged two one man operations. I was installer extraordiniare, Fred was an awesome salesman... so it worked great

Then we got too much work.... so we had to hire a few people...

We were nice guys... we provided a car that the employees could take home for personal use. They had a gasoline card...

Next thing we knew... the two of them were down in Vermont skying using our car and gas card...

Needless to say they were out of a job when they got back and the next employees didn't get a car or a gasoline card. In fact we just contracted out.

Small example BUT this is how it starts  "We the Peeps..." are our own worst enemy. That is why the phrase "A fool and his money are soon parted"

You talk to any successful businessman who ever tried to give workers a break... I bet they will have hundreds of similar stories

No its because like any other mad scientist :P you are too busy being all over the map with ideas and no head for business. This is why most genius inventors died broke

Artists are the same... but somewhere along the line artists figured out they could hire an AGENT to 'sell' them and their work. In today's world that is called 'licensing' and many former starving artists now make a side living(fortune0 of licensing their art to greeting cards etc...

If Inventors would learn from this and hire agents, then the big corporations wouuld have to pay the inventor and his agent before they could market it

The inventor needs the corporation... because the inventor cannot fund mass production and still spend his time inventing

But an agent as a go between, like artists have, would ensure that the money is more equally distributed

I have a book... three ring binder... the HOLY GRAIL of fund raising as it were...

It contains page after page of MAJOR CORPORATIONS that have millions of dollars available annually in foundation trusts for Education, health, Arts, Construction and other projects

All you have to do is learn HOW to apply and which one covers your needs

When we had the plan to build the Theme Park... A Historical Performing Arts Education Destination Resort... we had access to 200 MILLION. Had it not been for three people passing away at a bad moment I would be one of those big corporations now that you hate :P

Was told our plan would NET 4 BILLION in 10 years and take 1.5 years to build

Still a VERY VIABLE plan, especially NOW when jobs are in demand and as the economy revives... but where are the people with dedication to make it happen?

I am here... the project is in the file cabinet...

You know how to reach me :D

Here is ONE example....


In 2012, Walmart and the Walmart Foundation gave more than $1 billion in cash and in-kind contributions around the world. This includes $1 billion in cash and in-kind gifts in the United States and $82.2 million in cash and in-kind gifts in international markets. In addition, Walmart, Sam’s Club and Logistics associates volunteered more than 2.2 million hours, generating $18 million to U.S. nonprofits.

Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (B&MGF or the Gates Foundation) is the largest private foundation in the world, founded by Bill and Melinda Gates. It is "driven by the interests and passions of the Gates family." The primary aims of the foundation are, globally, to enhance healthcare and reduce extreme poverty, and in America, to expand educational opportunities and access to information technology. The foundation, based in Seattle, Washington, is controlled by its three trustees: Bill Gates, Melinda Gates and Warren Buffett. Other principal officers include Co-Chair William H. Gates, Sr. and Chief Executive Officer Jeff Raikes.

It had an endowment of US$38.3 billion as of 30 June 2013. The scale of the foundation and the way it seeks to apply business techniques to giving makes it one of the leaders in the philanthrocapitalism revolution in global philanthropy, though the foundation itself notes that the philanthropic role has limitations. In 2007, its founders were ranked as the second most generous philanthropists in America, and Warren Buffett the first.[6] As of May 16, 2013, Bill Gates had donated US$28 billion to the foundation.
