You are not teaching if you are doing all the talking.

Were you the central character of If a Tree Falls: A Story of the Earth Liberation Front?
If so I have a story that will uplift you.

That’s me, Gary!
Do tell
They accepted your request.
Gary
Let’s make this interesting, and if you think it is a little weird you can see that Im a real person, no fake id, a beautiful wife, equally amazing dog, Mango and so you know how to reach me if you have further questions.
You know also that I something very interesting to share with you.
Im assuming you are still up because New Year is still coming up.
Im in conversation right now with 20 year old top law student in Uganda.
She may even be well above average in health compared to 20 year olds because she may be vegan.
What about you? Have you kept your weight off and staying strong by eating only healthy vegetarian?
Gary
Given my knowledge of the financial markets having worked for the leading banking-mining house De Beers-Anglo American Corporation at their highest levels on US soil back in the late 1970s, you would expect this 20 year old who appears very beautiful in her FB photos not to want to drop the ball.
While she is currently doing much better than most, the pressures at home with her father being a teacher and a businessman and her mother an accountant, could easily get the better of her.
If she fails, succombs to the inheritance monies syndrome and throws in the towel, it won’t be the end of the world because the people will start looking at this crazy and wonder how we got to the point in the documentary when the conversation changed from saving impossible to replace ancient trees to those responsible for the carnage calling themselves the environmentalists and the conversation never went back to the trees?
Do you really think the filmmakers were unbiased?
Were you able to reach anyone on the outside while you were in jail via email?
Did you talk to the filmmakers while you were there?
Read this book

Don’t pay that much attention to the author, scholarly Edward J. Epstein.
Gary
Instead focus on the man in the photo at the top of ch. 1.
Harry Oppenheimer oversaw my year long orientation into De Beers-Barclays so you can assume that understand very well the economic-politics of a country like Uganda which is run very similar to most countries where De Beers-Barclays dominate.
BTW, my formal introduction to D-B began soon after I immigrated to the US from mineral rich South Africa, arriving March 17, 1978, one week shy of my 21st.

You know that none of us have all the answers, but we do know some of the wrong answers; beginning with thinking that violence to people or to property solves anything because such actions only aggravate the problem.
You always have to look at things from the perspective of those trying to keep the order and Im talking about good, hard working, honest fireman and policemen who know that if there is disorder the first form of violence is on them.
I happen to have two brother in laws who are with the RCMP
Gary
Gary
and you can see they are unlikely to have been of the lowest rank.
My knowledge does not come from them but from common sense.
The fact that protestors on the streets don’t look at things from the perspective of those they are up against on the frontlines and even the investigating offers, even the best of them have to put up with a lot shit.
Gary
Most criminals are simply not nice.
Most criminals smell and the officers are there listening to all their shit talk and if on drugs there is no telling whether it is the drugs or what?
The police not only have mouths to feed but for the most part it is a dangerous job; each time they stop a car they don’t know what to expect.
So once armed with the knowledge of the DIG [Diamond Invention Game] your job is to educate and if you are arrogant then you are not educating.
The first people you have to win over is every cop and prison guard on the planet and remember you are not teaching if you are doing all the talking.
none of us on this planet are more special than the next.
Gary
None of us can explain how we all got here to the point that we are destroying the planet because we just want to keep having things and no one sharing, just tossing when it is easy to put in a trash can than walk over to your neighbor and start a conversation.
As we toss we keep growing the economy along with the population growth that is killing all of us.
So the most important thing is to listen to what each cop who is human behind the uniform and might well prefer another job where they also wouldn’t be listening to so many liars.
Only when you listen can you learn, hence the clever words Proverbs: Better to keep quiet let people think you to be a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.
Did you ever think that there is fake opposition?

Daniel, by now you should have finished reading Epstein’s The D I book and therefore you would know that while still 21 years of age I knew more about how the financial markets worked than Epstein who on Dec. 4, 1978 was just learning.
Gary
In the course of the past 14.5 hours since read what I last sent you on Chritmas Day which ended, “not 2” there are that many more people around the globe who know that what the lumber mills pay for their lumber is not close to fair trade, and that also means that law enforcement officers throughout the world are significantly underpaid for the work they do.
You have to however maintain clear perspective at all times because the number of new humans being born over the past now approaching 15 hours is significantly more than those aware learning about the DIG.
Gary
You must recall the sawmill owner who temporarily lost his headquarters as well as his peace of mind upon realizing that his offices had been burned to the ground.
He would not have known what you know today about the pricing of timber which I knew about just when I was getting into teenage years and couldn’t find anyone able to explain how the money to pay for things like wood, housing, utilities, police protection services, weapon systems to protect from invading armies, healthcare, food etc was determined.
You must have heard that most scientists today believe that the evidence is pretty good that us humans first started moving about 60,000 years ago out of the southern tip of Africa following the seas retreating due to the onset of the ice age and they could no longer fish as their habits in caves were now some 40 kilometers away from the new water’s edge and so they naturally headed north, and nor were there many of them.
Gary
They had to stay very organized and each depending on the next for their survival as a group, fighting the wild animals and the rest of the elements.
Richard Klein of Stanford University who I communicated with back in January 2002 when I saw this article in the Los Angeles Times
Gary
is now calling the survival of “Scientific Adam” and his small group of “hunters gatherers” a miracle given their incredibly extraordinary survival.
Gary
Should just one of the group been disgruntled for even a day, the delay in resolving that conflict could have proved fatal.
Nor did they have GPS to tell them whether they were headed in the right direction and no clue what awaited them. Yet they made their way to Australia and the last 150 kilometers they had to use boats to get across the stretch that had not frozen.
There you were in New York working for Madison Avenue and yet you were clueless about the rainforests of Oregon which is what you would expect from a city dweller whose ancestors only began branching out 60,000 years ago which is nothing in terms of how long this universe has been around.
Yet the devastation to the environment did not begin 60,000 years ago.
It began much more recent and urban planners are really not on top of things as much as they should be; and that is because they are clueless about how the economy of the world works.
Do you know how the economy of the world works?
Have you researched more German-American Charles W. Engelhard Jr. who took control of my immediate family’s huge ACME TIMBER INDUSTRIES in 1956?
Gary
Who do you think ended up with the bulk of his estate following his death on March 2, 1971 having turned just 54 the month before?
