JOHN P, THIS REPLY WAS WRITTEN UP ON NOV 5TH AND WAS MEANT TO BE A REPLY TO YOUR POST OF THAT DATE (but due to ongoing (2 weeks and counting) woes and wrongs with our (CA’s – not California 😉 biggest and meanest telecomm company and my own (well, borrowed acutally) ongoing laptop problems, it will hopefully get posted today (depending on the telecom or this laptop’s mood swings and to be honest, at this point in the whole rigamarole, it might depend on my own mood swings and patience 🙂

*********************************************************

[Cars toots its horn, blinks its headlights, and pushes up and down a white hankie that is tied to its radio antenna. Cars continues to shout over the din of celebratory noise making from Bunker -ites, -ettes, -eroos, -ators, who are all excited and thrilled about John P’s new blog.]

[CARS is tooting and honking to get John P’s attention and yells]

“HONK! HONK! JOHN P, JOHN P, JOHN P! YOOO-HOOOOO! TOOT! TOOT!
I’M OVER HERE IN THE BUNKER’S COMMENTS SECTION, RIGHT BELOW YOUR COMMENT – FOR NOW ANYWAY!”

[Later on, unable to find John P in the crowd of Bunker comments, Cars finds a quiet parking area in the Bunker and decides to call John P, who Cars thinks is still in the Bunker somewhere. Or may, in fact, be back in his office… or limo… or jet.. or god knows where John P. goes when he can’t be found posting in the Bunker.]

[At this point, Cars scratches its front left fender well (from driver’s POV) and thinks]

‘Hmmmm, I wonder where John P. goes when he’s NOT in the Bunker? He didn’t even show up this year to accept his 2013 SP award in person….. Somtimes, I worry about that guy…. I know he researches hard, he thinks hard, he writes hard… and he probably plays hard, too! BUT if he just launched a new blog to write his analysis of Scientology related news from the Ortega, Rinder, and Rathbun blog posts he reads plus his other sources, he probably is working hard instead of playing hard. Hrumphhh! So I guess, I’ll call his work number first!’

[As Cars is dialing John P’s work number, Cars thinks and wonders to itself]

‘Hmmm… I wonder the if the process I used to deduced where to call John P. makes me a Smart Car? I sure admire and respect John P. for his brilliance in the Smart Technology Department, that’s for darn tootin’ sure! I often wish I could be more like him.

In fact, I have told him so many times (if I remember correctly… Oh-Oh… I hope I actually wrote and told him so and not just thought I did…) that I still blush “cherry red” when I think about my overly enthusiastic comments in response to his posts and sometimes over-the-top compliments!

And I just realized I have had a post ready to send him, since Oct. 27th, but I’ve had phone and internet problems for more than a week now (still have to wait 5 – 8 business days to get new modem and phone filters (from two different departments in same tel. company) to see if that will explains my problems AND find a “new to me” laptop (currently using an old borrowed PeeCee), so I haven’t been able to send my post of the 27th to him. Anyway, it might all work out now as the post was kind of personally private (revealed TMI about me) anyway and I didn’t really want to post it in the Bunker. I had been thinking of asking him, before posting, if he had a John P email or a John P blog or something along those lines that I could send/post my simple, yet complex, question to him.

So this new blog of his at http://www.johnpcapitalist.com/ might be a perfect place to post my question about the process and the kind of cognitive skills he uses to write his analyses about the Bo$ (Business of Scientology) and about other topics, i.e., companies and stocks. What serendipity!

Now if only I can get the telephone company to finally debug my phone and internet connections AND I can get my hands on another borrowed laptop (a MAC this time for sure, if at all possible!), then I’ll finally be able to read his posts on Tony’s blog and, now, on his very own blog. FANtastic! I’m a happy Car. I’m a not so happee PeeCee Car however since this dam PeeCee, along with its other problems, now has a mulfunctioning J key – which makes it hard and difficult to address “J”ohn P. or Hearsay his username or blog!’

[Cars dials John P’s number, gets voice mail. Cars leaves this message.]

“Hey, John P. just got a look at your new blog. I got so excited that I didn’t finish reading everything and rushed back here to Tony’s Bunker to tell you how that I think it’s a great idea and I’m sure you’ll see your stats rise quickly – quicker than the $ci.org for sure! Your reasons for starting is sound (as usual) and yes, it is coincidental to Tony’s new post as Editor-in-Chief of the news site called The Raw Story as I remember us, Tony’s avid followers, asking you if you had your own blog and/or discussing with you the possibility of you starting a blog of your own – to post your original research and analysis. I wasn’t able to continue reading those comments, posting my own thoughts about it all to you, nor see that natural conclusion to those Bunker discussions, as that was about the time I started having phone, internet, and computer problems.

Yes, from my POV, it is coincidental, and serendipitous, that you started this blog around the time of Tony’s new “‘day’ job” and on a personal level, it is also serendipitous and coincidental that you started your blog during the time I am having “tech” problems and have a comment/question queued up for you.

There will be a great in increasing traffic to all 4 points in this particular $ci-related information dispersal configuration, i.e., Tony’s blog (as if he needed more traffic!), Rathbun’s, Rinder’s, and now yours. What a great idea *ohn P and congratulations! I am so-o-o looking forward to continue reading Tony’s http://tonyortega.org/ and now yours. This way I can trust and learn from the two greatest sources in the U.S. If you get to add news and comments from or by folks who post regularly on ESMB, OCMB, WWP and other forums, then it’ll be be even more “fabulouser.”

And finally, you posted on the Intro page the following, “…I’ll attempt to give readers a sense of the analytical techniques used in the world of Wall Street, so people can participate fully in developing high-quality analysis of the cult and its weak spots. In other words, I’ll do my best to train people in what works and what doesn’t work in doing this kind of writing. It’s far different than being a news reporter, and it demands a lot more intellectual rigor than just expressing a “seat of the pants” opinion in a comment forum…”

This alone almost blew my engine, as my comment/question queued up for you had to do with this topic except it was from a personal angle of learning and retraining my brain and using these skills, not from a work perspective, but from an, as yet to be diagnosed “brain injury” or “cognitive skill problem” perspective; and probably, as a result of, or combination of, accident(s) or chronic illness(es) that have well known “brain fog” symptoms, and/or the newly studied and documented long term (permanent?) result of unrelated aggressive, intense, and long term medical treatments that probably saved my life but rendered me nearly incapable of living my life (with any degree of functionality, efficiency, certainty, and hope of “someone” helping me to change things around). If I had loose change, I would buy stocks in the makers of Post-It Notes, as I am convinced that “I” in my simple yet complicated life, am responsible in a rise of their sales over the past ## years!)

And this is why I have another post for you queued up and in which I had asked you a simple yet complex question on Oct. 24th.

But, in the meantime, I have a suspicion that if I continue reading your blog and Tony’s blog, I might be able to retrain my neural synapses simply by reading, thinking about what I’ve read in the posts and comments, and then v-e-r-y carefully composing my own comments (no matter how long it takes me to do so with any degree of confidence – in my ability to write again and remember spelling, grammar, punctuation, etc.).

　ALL THIS TO SAY:

*ohn P. I think I luv u!

Thank you! (I am very much looking forward to reading your new blog – as soon as my “tech” problems, which are very Hubbard-like, if not Kafkaesque, in nature, are slowly solved over the coming days… or 🙁 weeks.)

Good luck! (How you’ll manage to find the time, in what I imagine to be an already incredibly busy schedule, is beyond all understanding! But hey, being raised French (Acadian) Catholic by the Good Fathers and the Good Sisters, mysterious things that are “beyond all understanding” is something I was trained to live with 😉

Congratulations! (I think it will be highly successful and “beyond all understanding” and “wildest imagination!”)

And snacks. 🙂

TC has a lot to answer for. Thanks I love the inside info and view.

Oh get that! I could never imagine you on a power trip, given your comments : )

But yes. music, or a topic that interested you. I think you could really get through to students with humour and intelligence.

Not, IMHO, any longer. The whole town has gone far too left for my tastes. I was quite happy to leave, though there were many friends there. The scio scene had also crashed pretty badly which left a bad taste in my mouth.

Hi John P, it’s me, Casabeca.
While I have your eye, I must tell you that the first words my father taught my son were,
“I am a capitalist.”. So we must have one more thing in common ;).

I’m sending this msg because Monkey needs to hear this note from you. I had no idea about propofol

Well, if I had your email or Facebook… 😉

Doesn’t it rule? 🙂

I so fucking hate disqus. I do. don’t even see these comments til it’s stupid too late.

I can’t have a C section. I will die of death, PM. Future vagina reconstruction is easier for me to deal with.

I’m such a pansy, honey. We have to start there. 🙂
