Several friends asked me to say something about my history to better understand what I am doing on facebook. The following is a short story about my history.
When I was a young teenager I had a long talk with my grandmother that would change the course of my life. She told me about her late husband who had founded an Ironwork construction company that ended up operating coast to coast. She ran the business end of this company and was one of the most advanced humans I have ever met to this day.
She told me the story of how my grandfather came to a point in his life where he was asked to run for public office but could not understand a problem that confronted him so he declined the offer. The mission of my life became to solve the paradox that my grandfather could not understand in his lifetime.
My grandfather had two principals that guided him in his business. Number one: treat all humanity with respect. Racism in any form was not allowed—and special consideration was given to Native Americans who wanted to become union Ironworkers.
Principal number two: use the most modern tools and machinery—and he lost his insurance because he introduced what was in his day known as that deadly technology called welding.
My grandfather’s dream was to run for public office. But he could not run because he did not understand why he was being told by his Masonic lodge to violate his personal and business principals as a political leader.
At age 18, I started my lifetime of becoming a never-ending college student and followed in the footsteps of my grandfather and became a union Ironworker. At age 19, I moved to Alaska, the only state my grandfather never visited.
My method was to work construction just long enough to build up my bank account so I could go back to school and once again begin my search for the answer to my grandfather’s dilemma. I began by looking at the Masonic Lodges where my grandfather had been a member. I found out this was a dead end. The archaic Masonic political system had been superseded by the modern institute and foundation system.
At age 22 I finally got my first clue to my grandfather’s dilemma. As it turned out, the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry was under the directorship of the British Foreign Office. More important, freemasonry generally is nothing but a political instrument of the old empire system of running the world.
I began my search for an institute and foundation system that would not violate my grandfather’s principles and would not be based on the old empire system. My method was to sign up to many publications and get on their mailing lists. I was eventually recruited by multiple intelligence agencies, but as soon as I found out they violated my grandfather’s principles I would escape them and continue my search. I repeated this process for a period of over 30 years.
I lived quite an interesting life; half the year I would work construction Ironwork, the other half as a never-ending college student who participated in political campaigns and operations. I lived all over Alaska, and also traveled to the lower 48 once or twice a year to build some buildings or participate in political projects.
I played many political roles over the years, mostly as a political organizer and writer–my quest was always to gain a better understanding of how the world really works and how to make the world a better place to live. The two subjects I followed ever since my teen years are history/economics and industrial science policy.
To learn every aspect of industrial science policy I learned how to build the standard building for all modern manufacturing. As an Ironworker I became one of Alaska’s leading experts on industrial bridge-crane building construction and design by personally helping to construct over 75 industrial buildings. In total, my 33-years in the Ironworkers allowed me to personally tour over one hundred manufacturing industries.
My goal in learning history/economics and industrial science policy has always been to do that which my grandfather could never do, to become a leader when the system needs to be put back together again. Every generation has had an economic and financial collapse and at age 52, I am now witnessing what good historians know will always eventually happen: another collapse of the world economic/financial system.
I am now partially crippled and can no longer hang the high steel. I was in the process of building a new home for my family on the hillside of Anchorage when I started to become crippled and had to end my construction Ironwork occupation. Now I am wondering what to do next for employment and thought to spend some time writing on facebook in hope that I can teach some of what I have learned.
My facebook wall contains the basic outline of what needs to be done to reverse the onrushing world depression and I hope people will read my wall from the beginning and learn some of the lessons I learned the hard way. I do this to honor my grandparents.
