The Current Hoax from Pharoh’s Throne Room (Bush’s White House)

This tirade is a lesson in perspective, a key principle in coaching . . .

How dare I comment when Keith Olbermann, takes center stage as the king of understatement and pun? Yet, weeks ago with Rachel Maddow, the two began to unravel Rumplestiltskin’s golden cord with the faint suggestion of how Michael Mukasey could arbitrarily mention a 9/11 call that came from a safe house in Afghanistan before 9/11—Huh? You mean they weren’t wiretapping to follow the call because it was illegal. Por favor, please explain the logic in this. How can that be since we were caught unaware? How does such inemptitude go unpunished?

Hm, starting to sound like someone dropped the perennial ball, and as my buddy Keith
Olbermann so astutely cobbled together the seemingly disjoined information with Rachel, it sounds like the one that got away and the big scares have been justifications to cover up the foul.

My read—Michael Mukasey spilled the beans from guilt, knowing the behind the scenes of this entire Shakespearean tragedy.

It sounds like “At Dawn We Slept” about Pearl Harbor and the mixed messages and non-delivered messages to FDR, the few who knew about the attack but didn’t bother to notify anyone, but I digress.

Naomi Klein has cornered the market on the only reasonable explanation. Bill Maher’s panels have played around these topics but not quite hit the sweet spot.

If there was notice of impending tragedy, and it was left “unwatered” to blaze the way for Naomi’s idea of shock, (deer in the headlights,) to initiate and to enable the plan Cheney had in his briefcase since the early 1990’s, we must unravel the cord. Where is the outrage? Why is it that Congress doesn’t follow the money? Congress must read Daniel Brook’s, The Trap, to understand what was set into motion after Goldwater and under Reagan. This is greater than a coincidence.

I know that I’m beginning to sound like a conspiracy nut; yet, hark, consider Viktor Frankl’s prophetic statement, “Evil is allowed to happen when good people do nothing,” applies here. As I see it, the “spilled beans” mentioned above translate into inaction, which is like a lie of omission. Either secret wiretapping was going on, pre-9/11, what the Bush Administration couldn’t expose until they got caught, became the electronic J. Edgar Hoover’s pre-emptive file building just in case someone wanted to speak about his tutu, OR . . .
The Bush et al couldn’t have planned anything so sinister, but saw this as an opening to release their Pandora’s plan with a little help from their friends (sorry Beatles).

When do the investigations by a special prosecutor, not the in-house sorts, begin? What is tying Pelosi’s and Reid’s hands?

No wonder I must do Sukuko puzzles to get some sleep. One’s mind reels at this scenario.

Business Failure Is A Symptom

Let’s highlight an essential element of Business Literacy—Agility. This is such an integral success factor that The Malcolm Baldrige Quality Principles score points for this quality.

The following relate to rigid mindsets that defy Business Literacy

Use these as a checklist for your situation—

Three reasons small businesses fail hard:
1. Lack of planning, not funding. If they have a formal business plan, they don’t bring it out.
Usually there is a lack of a written marketing plan, which represents up to 70% of the business plan.

2. Owners/Leaders don’t listen to advisory input. They make unilateral decisions and they are stubborn. This symptom often relates to the experience and fear of having to learn a new way and the leader may lose control. Can you feel the catastrophizing build! That’s not leadership, that’s being bossy. Ever wondered how those two words relate?
When they want to do everything alone, one must question what the underlying insecurity it. These types don’t know when to hire expertise because they won’t ask—the circumstance is like the joke about men asking for directions! (So, they invented the GPS!)

3. These leaders focus on widgets rather seeing over the horizon then working back. They confuse production with productivity. Counting units is fine however, when we don’t factor in the cost of driving our personnel into the ground, we’re not seeing the reality of the outcome.

What do you think? What’s your experience with agility?

Want An Instant Intellect?


An instant benefit of an
instant intellect is it is the cure for shallow conversations.

So, what will you do with it? How can it serve you?

Until one sees the value in developing such an asset, then the resources required to obtain it won’t be justified. It’s that simple. For those of you interested in acquiring it, please read on.
7 Steps to Acquiring an Instant Intellect:

Pick a topic you want to learn more about.

Take five days and gather as much information you can from a variety of sources (internet, publications, trade associations, archives).

Commit to scanning the materials you’ve collected and select three points that interest you from the “compost pile.”

Use or refer to the three points daily in some aspect of conversation. For example, “How many times have you wondered about the colors in a rainbow? I did. Would you be to know what I found (Click for the answer.)?”

Attend a seminar, lecture, class on one of the three items you selected. (Consider non-traditional places like churches, mosques, synagogues, organizations conducting courses.)

Write a journal entry (one page single spaced) on where this exercise took you—For example, boosted curiosity, added conversation starters. Did you meet interesting people? Did you impress someone with your curiosity? How can you use this information in your personal and professional endeavors?

Submit your thoughts to a local media outlet, publication, newsletter, blog, etc. You will now be on the record with your intellectual pursuit.

Who knows? You may discover an avocation, a passion, a pathway you didn’t acknowledge before.

Bon voyage!

Regards,
Pocket Coach
