The Plurinational Vegetative State of Bolivia

I'm stuck here. The corruption is so total that nobody knows anything. I can't even contact the Swiss Embassy in La Paz, because someone seems to have paid-off the honorary consulate here not to help me. That would be A Good Thing: her testimony might be very useful in a week or two.

I don't get any e-mails from anyone I would want to hear from, unless they are sent under duress. But I get lots of other messages. Unfortunately their senders do not want to identify themselves, so I have no idea what the messages are about. They are delivered by people like Edward Snowden on CNN Latin America the other night, or the waiter at the 24/7 sushi cafe on the Prado in Cochabamba. "Code talk" just desn't work when you don't know who it's from.

T-shirts sometimes  seem more clear. For example there was one that said just

FUCKING HOSTILE

in big white letters. I hope the wearer charged danger money for that. He didn't seem to want to be within 20 yards of me while he was wearing it. I think I know who sent that message.

Imagine that Lt. Col. John Rimbaud has just "armed up" and he's standing there with half a dozen grenades pinned to his vest, and his RPG on his back, holding a huge machine gun and with thousands of rounds of ammunition in belts draped around his neck. And this stuff is so fucking heavy that it´s making the veins stand out on his biceps and his forehead.  And you go up to him and say "You know, you're fucking hostile! You have a bunch of issues that you still need to deal with."  And he'd look at you with his big droopy-doggy eyes for a bit, ... And what do you think he´d reply just before he turned and walked off to find someone more interesting and intelligent to talk to?

So can someone make me a T-shirt that is black, in good quality un-bleached cotton, in women's sizes, that says on the front, in big white letters that can be read from at least 20 yards distance "FUCKING RIGHT" and on the back "FUCKING PRICK". And sell them in the USA, and give the money to Hilary Clinton for her campaign fund. Then maybe she could fly Roger Schell and Scott Owens to Cochabamba so we can get a private e-mail connection running, and contract access to it to the NSA. If I could communicate then I could share some ideas with her about how to make the presidential debates an awful lot more interesting they are currently promising to be.

And if someone could make me a reply to a telling T-shirt, that says just "I'm going!" Then that would be lovely.

This is all part of a reality TV show called Latin American Law. Reality TV is like a soap opera, but where all the stuff turns out to actually have happened!

Well, no-one expected extracting agents after a 7 year black op would be easy ... "Play hard and Have fun!" As the T-shirt said. Yes marm!

A Midsummer Night's Dream

I have now managed to convince myself that, given modest material resources, some cooperative assistance,  and a little time, we could build a working demonstration of a quantum computer and communications system, here in Bolivia.

The purpose of this post is to correlate my knowledge with that of the other people here in Bolivia who are working on the same thing, and to ask if I may be permitted to travel to the other side of the world and attempt to set up a provably secure telecommunications link with Bolivia. I would like to travel to the Middle East.

The reason I am posting this now is that I read this morning that the result of the recent UK referendum has left the future evolution of European politics (and therefore of the global economy) very far from certain.

We have therefore a great a opportunity, and a very powerful set of motivating reasons to attempt a demonstration of the potential of this sort of communication.

What I would like to be able to do, is to produce a working example of a business which sells peace, so that we can make a judgement as to what is better for business: war, or peace.

The offer I am making is to act as a trustable intermediary for any difficult multi-party negotiations that need to be carried between different groups of people who have no immediate reasons to trust each other. The basis of their trust in me would have to be based on shared public knowledge of what I am attempting to achieve, and of the existence of a secure communications mechanism and a computer system capable of optimally evaluating an exponentially growing number of often contradictory possibilities simultanously from different, often conflicting points of view.

This needs to be done quickly, so I would hope to be there in fewer than ten days, with a few days in Western Europe to catch up on what's happened while I've been here, and to see my daughter, if that's possible, and if it's what she wants.

All I require to do this are access to modest financial resources to pay my personal costs, and cooperative assistance from the governments and other organisations involved.

I will post more when I have more time.
