Ideas And Possibilities For 2016

D'accordo.

Huff Post, so there's a health warning but...

 

We apparently have a kill list of terrorist types.

 

Does anyone on the DL Committee have access to this, might make for a record year in 2016

Ach, well true. Don't think any debate required.

 

The Gibraltar thing on the terrorist thread was a forerunner, even though they had at least the humanity to be in the same country.

 

 

Drone strikes are murder, pure and simple, and putting on my brahann seer hat, there will be drone strikes on the Yanks, En@lish and mainland Europe in the next 5 years, and , fuck yeh , I would chuck my change into a charadee can on their behalf, no matter the cause.

[James R. Messenger] appears to be same guy nominated for two Oscars, thus securing an obit next year. This guy is pure gold. SC

An obit is certainly likely, whether it will qualify him for a DDP hit is a question though. He received these nominations in one of the most obscure categories [documentary short], he only has a short imdb entry and doesn't even have a Wikipedia page.

Anyways, the cancer seems to have affected his brain as well - in addition to his pancreas:

When I began my work over 30 years ago, I had only one goal, which still remains my goal to give the world a new chance as the Industrial Age was dying and to offer a Renaissance instead. However, the world is currently on two distinctly different paths:

China my best student literally sent me hundreds of geniuses, up to and including the Chairman of the State Planning Commission, to study Information Age Principles, Operation, and Effects with me directly. Today, anyone can see China is on an amazing path of resurgence and reaping the new Renaissance I dreamed of.

America and all of Western Civilization only saw my creation as a means for making money, and the West is now sinking rapidly into a Dark Age characterized by increasing tyranny.

http://www.virtual-strategy.com/2015/03/18/father-information-age-james-r-messenger-66-diagnosed-terminal-cancer#ixzz3XOJfABvH

America is "sinking into tyranny" and China is "reaping the benefits of a new Renaissance"? Wtf is he on about? Which country has a "Great Firewall", "protecting" her citizens from "harmful information" (ie. criticism of her government)? Where would you feel free to criticize your own leaders or organize a demonstration/protest march online without risking a lengthy prison sentence?

This guy is a total nutcase.

Ok to update, the Dougstanhope.com DP site I just noticed in the past couple weeks is giving me credit for a 'hit' on James Messenger with a date of 4/21/2015 DOD. I had no idea he died (this gives me a hole in my entry in Shaun's DP lol ugh) and even knowing that date I can find nothing. I'm going to ask them to provide evidence of his demise. Guess I was wrong re: obit anywhere much less UK. Hell, Hollywood hasn't mentioned it, which is odd for a two-time Oscar nominee and Emmy winner.

[edit: ok only thing I find is this obit

Yeah, that legacy guest book thing is the only thing to come up to date for him. Sad if he really was the "Father of the Information Age", only for the Information Age to forget him.

[Spade_Cooley 9,474]

Can't really doubt his claim to be Father of the Information Age, especially with a website as awesome as this: http://informationage.org/Homepage.html

You can all thank me later..... Of course there is the obit question.

"James R. Messenger, the American Telephone & Telegraph Company employee who conceived The Theory of the Information Age on December 12, 1982, then led the effort to create a global digital telecommunications infrastructure to enable the worldwide interconnection of computers, has been diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer."

SChttp://www.virtual-strategy.com/2015/03/18/father-information-age-james-r-messenger-66-diagnosed-terminal-cancer#axzz3XNp87Ji6

Did his name dictate his career choice and serve as inspiration, one wonders.

Appears to be same guy nominated for two Oscars, thus securing an obit next year. This guy is pure gold. YOU HEAR ME COMMITTEE???!!

SC

Just don't shoot him

 

Are we sure James R. Messenger, Father of the Information age isn't dead? He lived in Marietta, GA, right? These folks who left messages of condolences seem to think it's the Mr. Messenger in question. Dead as of April 21, 2015? Found no obit, proper or otherwise. Ironic for the Father of the Information Age.

http://www.legacy.com/guestbook/DignityMemorial/guestbook.aspx?n=james-messenger&pid=174685367

 

The age in the reports of his diagnosis matches that of the Dignity Memorial obituary, and one of the comments mentions he was "Academy Award nominated" on the tributes. I don't think there's any doubt it's the same person.

I've mentioned this in other threads but 66-year-old prog rocker John Wetton (Asia / King Crimson / UK / many others) is battling cancer at the moment, and has also had a history of various health problems - heart disease, diabetes, surgery earlier this year for abdominal cancer before the current cancer was discovered, and he has also had a history of alcoholism and I've heard rumours that he was once a heroin addict.

 

IMHO, he would be a reasonable pick for 2016, when you add all that information together.

 

Any thoughts?
