Today kind of sucked. I took the Tragedy and Hope book back today and I wanted to see the librarian to get another book, cause I dont know what to read, but she wasn’t there.

Today was her day off. So now I have to take the bus all the way back to the library tomorrow just to get another book.

So I decided to focus the rest of the day on a plan to be the very first Earth Emperor.

With what I have so far, I have just read one book, it’s not really finalized.

Lots of people when making software and stuff use different version numbers, and use alpha and beta, so I am calling this Earth Emperor Plan Version 1.0 Beta:

1. Get lots of money by winning the lottery and/or marrying a very hot and wealthy girl, divorcing her and then taking half. A cool girl to marry would be one who has the last name Rockefeller, Mellon, du Pont or Morgan. It would be awesome to add Rothschild to the potential to marry list, but I think they only marry within the family.

“The economic power represented by these figures is almost beyond imagination to grasp, and was increased by the active role which these financial titans took in politics. Morgan and Rockefeller together frequently dominated the national Republican Party, while Morgan occasionally had extensive influence in the national Democratic party (three of the Morgan partners were usually Democrats). These two were also powerful on the state level, especially Morgan in New York and Rockefeller in Ohio. Mellon was a power in Pennsylvania and du Pont was obviously a political power in Delaware.” [1]

“The greatest of these dynasties, of course, were the descendants of Meyer Amschel Rothschild (1743-1812) of Frankfort, whose male descendants, for at least two generations, generally married first cousins or even nieces. Rothschild’s five sons, established at branches in Vienna, London, Naples, and Paris, as well as Frankfort, cooperated together in ways which other international banking dynasties copied but rarely excelled.” [2]

This is about a book that a librarian recommended to me. It is Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time by Carroll Quigley.

This book was made in 1966.

It was OK. It is pretty big. It took me about a month to read it, and I fell asleep a couple times.

Some things I learned from it was if you want to get consent from someone you can do so by paying them, by force and by persuasion.

“. . . there are three basic ways to win obedience: by force, by buying consent with wealth, and by persuasion.” [p. 33]

This is on books. They say knowledge is power, so to get knowledge you should read books.

When I wanted to be like Mark Cuban I picked up some books to better understand business. I went to the bookstore and picked up a series of books by Robert Greene. These books were The 48 Laws of Power, The Art of Seduction and The 33 Strategies of War.

They were pretty good. I got excited when I finished reading them cause I thought I knew a bunch of stuff, but then I got less excited when I saw other people reading the same books I was just reading. If they say knowledge is power then what’s the point of reading stuff about what everyone else knows?

When I got over doing Mark Cuban’s dream, cause a bunch of other people were going after the same dream, I decided to focus on this Earth Emperor dream.

I went to the library and asked a librarian what book I should read, cause I don’t know much about books. I told her about the dream to be the very first Earth Emperor and she recommended that I should start by reading Carroll Quigley’s Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time. I think this book a very first edition cause it’s pretty old (it was printed in 1966 which is pretty old).

It was a pretty boring book. I fell asleep 3 times when I was reading it, but I did learn some cool stuff.

I didn’t know if I should take what I learned for what it was or if it was just some guy fooling around. On page 950 I found out that he’s been studying history for like 20 years, so he knows his stuff:

This myth, like all fables, does in fact have a modicum of truth. There does exist, and has existed for a generation, an international Anglophile network which operates, to some extent, in the way the radical Right believes the Communists act. In fact, this network, which we may identify as the Round Table Groups, has no aversion to cooperating with the Communists, or any other groups, and frequently does so. I know of the operations of this network because I have studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two years, in the early 1960’s, to examine its papers and secret records. I have no aversion to it or to most of its aims and have, for much of my life, been close to it and to many of its instruments. I have objected, both in the past and recently, to a few of its policies (notably to its belief that England was an Atlantic rather than a European Power and must be allied, or even federated, with the United States and must remain isolated from Europe), but in general my chief difference of opinion is that it wishes to remain unknown, and I believe its role in history is significant enough to be known. [I, Daniel Kemp, added the bold]

I don’t know why he spent 20 years studying this history stuff, cause it’s pretty boring.

I am probably going to read other books after this one. I just hope they aren’t as big as this one.

I am also taking notes, when I’m reading, on these little books I got from the dollar store.

I was making notes of words I didn’t know and I realized I should really start learning more about words, cause I don’t know very many words.

I also thought South Africa was where South America really is, until I looked at a map a couple days ago, so I should also start learning about geography too.

I have purchased my very first lottery ticket. Money is a very important part of being Earth Emperor.

You can win millions of dollars instantly with the lottery and that is why I bought a ticket. It was $2 and I got three random lines of 7 numbers.

I bought my ticket last night and the draw was late last night. The amount that could be won was $10 million I think.

I got one number on the first line, no numbers on the second line and one number on the last line.

I didn’t win anything.

To be Earth Emperor you need two things; money and power.

I can get money from donations and I’m also going to start buying lottery tickets, cause you can win lots of money instantly with the lottery.

For power I’m going to read books, cause they say knowledge is power. With the books I’m going to learn about the Earth, cause how can you be Earth Emperor if you don’t know anything about the Earth?

That’s it for now.
