MODNEX INTEL/KATSURA WORLDWIDE: HOPE VS. DOPE - Prodigious Savant Ken Katsura Makes Monumental Breakthrough for U.S. and Global Community 2012

MODNEX INTEL/KATSURA WORLDWIDE: HOPE VS. DOPE - Prodigious Savant Ken Katsura Makes Monumental Breakthrough for U.S. and Global Community 2012 - "GOKATSURA2016": I've come to see our present day society as having become so politically misguided and unstable that its basically full of 'dope dealers and dependent addicts' . . . The U.S. is now really a 'drug culture' in disguise. People are into things they ...need to cope, whether its drugs, political belief, religious belief, or whatever. This is their dope, you see. Even remotely mess with their dope, they get crazy, volatile, irrational, violent, reactionary, desperate, hateful. You see, I've come to define 'normal' as the degree to which one can, unassisted, step outside of themselves, to evaluate one's own behavior. Ask yourself, 'Can I do this?' If not, you're an addict and hooked on some form of dope which prevents you from seeing yourself for what you really are and for what social reality really is. When you can't function without your dope, whatever that may be, THIS makes you easy to keep a prisoner and controlled by what is tantamount to dope pushers, whatever that dope may consist of.

 See, 'dope,' within the context I'm using it in the above example, is what cosmetically 'makes all their bad go away' while masking over what's wrong in their lives and in society, overall, so they can't address the real issues in life that can improve things for them and society, at large.
So, each of us might ask ourselves what our 'dope' is in our lives and how we might reduce our use and dependancy on that 'dope' so that it no longer is dope to us and cannot make us prisoners to be controlled and manipulated by the 'pushers' and 'dealers' of whatever you identify the 'dope' in your life to be.

 So, what's your 'dope?' Food? Humor? Entertainment? Political ideology? Religion? Money? Hate? Sex? Social movements? Video games? Music? (I would include the Internet, but it has become a basic functional necessity in today's world for information, education, etc.) Is the Women's Movement your dope? Is Jesus/the Bible your 'new' dope rather than your new 'hope?' . . ."

KEN KATSURA GENERAL COVER LETTER


Dear Hiring Manager/Human Resources, Prospective Organization:

My LinkedIn profile, with PDF printout option, (www.linkedin.com/pub/ken-katsura/36/435/95b) is being provided in response to your search for an experienced, well educated, scalable, professionally and globally cultured, Executive/Administrative Assistant.  My resume (recently updated) is attached, as well.  (Please do not review the attached resume in Google View if this email communication has been received in Gmail.)

First, let me be clear.  I do not owe the government any higher educational loan debt and my driving record is immaculate.  My personal objective is to be completely debt free within two years.  Remarkably, this is a realistic personal financial goal, given the state of the economy.  I am seeking an office support position to achieve this goal, while providing my employer with the highest quality office support available.

Second, I apologize for not having a greater source of ethnic diversity in my employment references to offer to you.  My relevant occupational employment references, management and supervisors, as a point in fact, are all white or ethnic minority white (a fraction Native American and fundamentally white).  None are “non-white,” such as myself.  I am greatly disappointed by this fact.  However, a fact it remains and I must apologize on behalf of fate.

Third, the above stated and kept well in mind, I am seeking a full-time, permanent employment opportunity within a stable, professional and fast-paced environment.  I thrive within an environment which is consistently “in pursuit of excellence.”  (Please visit me at www.MySpace.com/KenKatsura and www.Facebook.com/GoKatsura2016.)

I possess a double major B.A. (Socioeconomics/Sociology and Political Science/Public Administration) from the U.S. News and World Report “10th ranked public university and 39th ranked national school” and 118th ranked university in the world (out of the top 400 - QS World University Rankings), the University of California at Santa Barbara.  I also possess a 3.93 GPA in graduate core courses (two full-time semesters) in Sociology/Socioeconomics.  My graduate coursework includes Population and Demography and Advanced Research Methods.  I type at 70 WPM (0% error rate, certified) and I possess over fifteen (15) years of office support experience across a vast array of industry of scale.  I can also offer to your organization years of experience performing a wide range of special projects, as well.  Finally, as a result of working and residing in Santa Barbara, Honolulu and Los Angeles, I possess experience working and residing with individuals who, as a group, hail from a combination of over thirty-two (32) nations and U.S. territories, abroad.

My qualifications are of the highest competitive quality and include extensive experience in executive and lead production word processing and transcription (Dictaphone), executive appointment and conference scheduling, special projects (Velo-binding, ring-comb presentation/conference binders, mail merging and Internet marketing research), greeting clients, reservations, customer relations management (CRM software) and back-up reception (AT & T corporate switchboard and PA system, conference calls, paging, point of contact for field sales personnel, parking and cab validation stickers, and “in/out” and pickup records).  I also possess extensive experience in the management of spreadsheets (Excel), databases/documents/faxes (Word, Acrobat, ACT, Access, and Windows PC Scanfax), overnight shipping/mailing (Federal Express, DHL, UPS, and USPS), time and expense sheets (both online and manual ordering, tracking and supply requests), online AP/AR (Visa, MasterCard and American Express), digital postage meter (with regeneration experience) and scale, digital all-in-one copiers, auto paper folders and envelope sealers, cash records, file and library setup and maintenance, and much more.

My skill level in Outlook and PowerPoint are intermediate and would require a month to become advanced.  My “learning curve” is exceptionally high.  I have also successfully trained/supervised up to forty (40) personnel (daily) within a corporate call center environment (not listed on my resume - please see me), as well.

In addition, I recently began measuring my influence on Klout.com, and my rating is 51 (the average rating is 20), while my reach is 770.  (My current score does not include data from my two MySpace profile, nor does it include data from my Yahoo Message Board activity.) 

Please note that with the unveiling of MS Windows 8, experientially, we will all start from scratch.  However, rest assured, the software program is designed to be easily learned for fear of losing consumer satisfaction, and therefore, sales.  From my experience with MS Windows 8, thus far, it is an easy program to learn.

Finally, my annual salary range is very reasonable given the value your organization will receive:  $50 - 65K (negotiable, depending upon the position requirements and regional cost of living index).  I am also willing to work overtime and relocate, as well.  (I will require a minimum relocation support package.  I am single with no dependents or pets.  The relocation support may be incrementally recovered over bi-weekly pay periods, if necessary.) 

As a supportive reminder, please do not review the attached resume in Google View.

Thank you for your time, consideration and professionalism, and I will eagerly anticipate the opportunity to discuss the position opening with your organization’s designated representative.

Sincerely yours,

Ken Katsura

MODNEX INTEL ALERT: PRODIGIOUS SAVANT, KEN KATSURA (AS “MODNEX”) DELIVERS “TONGUE IN CHEEK” AND “FACETIOUS” STATE OF THE UNION AND CALIFORNIA ADDRESS - ECONOMIC CHAIN REACTION FROM CA TO SHAKE FOUNDATION OF U.S. AND GLOBAL ECONOMY

MODNEX INTEL ALERT:  PRODIGIOUS SAVANT, KEN KATSURA (AS “MODNEX”) DELIVERS “TONGUE IN CHEEK” AND “FACETIOUS” STATE OF THE UNION AND CALIFORNIA ADDRESS - ECONOMIC CHAIN REACTION FROM CA TO SHAKE FOUNDATION OF U.S. AND GLOBAL ECONOMY . . . AS A RESULT OF STIMULUS CUTOFF OF UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS AND FAILURE OF BUSINESSES TO HIRE FOR PAID POSITIONS . . .

FIRST, REMOVING EXTENDED UNEMPLOYMENT STIMULUS IS SIMILAR TO REMOVING ANOTHER LEG FROM THE DINNER TABLE . . . WITH NOTHING TO STABILIZE IT.  . . RELATIVE TO THE FUTURE AND STATE OF THE ECONOMY, OVERALL . . .

THE ECONOMIC CHAIN REACTION AND MELTDOWN FROM CA WILL LIKELY CRACK THE FRAGILE FOUNDATION OF U.S. AND GLOBAL ECONOMY . . . AS A RESULT OF STIMULUS CUTOFF OF UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS AND FAILURE OF BUSINESSES TO HIRE FOR PAID POSITIONS . . . FREE FALLING CONSUMER DEMAND . . .  FURTHERMORE, ONE OF THE ONLY REMAINING INDUSTRIAL REVENUE PRODUCERS, HOLLYWOOD, WILL LIKELY SEE IT'S REVENUES FREEFALL, COMPARED TO PREVIOUS YEARS, AS WELL.
OBAMA ADMINISTRATION AND CONGRESS SPENT TOO MUCH MONEY ON WALL STREET BAILOUTS AND MILITARY DEFENSE AND INTELLIGENCE SPENDING . . .
MODNEX (KEN KATSURA) HAILS FROM A WHITE COLLAR, DEGREED PROFESSIONAL, SMALL BUSINESS UPBRINGING IN VENTURA COUNTY, CA, HISTORICALLY ONE OF THE MOST AFFLUENT REGIONS IN THE NATION FOR BUSINESS . . .

MODNEX (KEN KATSURA) NOW RATES U.S. ECONOMY BACK TO A STAGE 3 OR TERTIARY STAGE WHICH PRECEDES THE FOURTH AND FINAL STAGE OF A 'GREAT DEPRESSION-RECESSION' . . .

I'M GOING TO BE FLAT OUT HONEST WITH YOU AMERICA, GENERALLY SPEAKING, FOR OWNERSHIP, MANAGEMENT, SUPERVISION IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR, IF YOU WANT TO MAINTAIN A GAINFUL AND STRONG PRIVATE SECTOR . . . IT TAKES A GENERATION . . . TO CONVERT A LINNEAGE FROM THE PUBLIC SECTOR TO THE COMPETITIVE PRIVATE SECTOR JOBS . . .  OKAY, SO WHEN OUR PRIVATE SECTOR IS THROUGH PLAYING FAKE IT TIL YOU MAKE IT GAMES AND REVERSING EVERYTHING, . . . AS IF THE LAKERS WOULD ANTICIPATE WINNING A SINGLE GAME EMPLOYING THE SAME PRACTICES . . . ANYTIME YOU'RE READY . . .

I, PERSONALLY, WILL BE READY AND WILLING TO TAKE YOUR FAILURE TO PRODUCE REVENUES, DIVIDENDS AND GOOD JOBS FOR AMERICANS . . . SERIOUSLY.  OKAY, SO WHEN OUR PRIVATE SECTOR IS THROUGH PLAYING FAKE IT TIL YOU MAKE IT GAMES AND REVERSING EVERYTHING, . . . AS IF THE LAKERS WOULD ANTICIPATE WINNING A SINGLE GAME EMPLOYING THE SAME PRACTICES . . . ANYTIME YOU'RE READY . . . I, PERSONALLY, WILL BE READY AND WILLING TO TAKE YOUR FAILURE TO PRODUCE REVENUES, DIVIDENDS AND GOOD JOBS FOR AMERICANS . . . SERIOUSLY.

ITS ALSO GOOD TO KNOW THAT ALL LEVELS OF GOVT IN CA HAVE BEEN ON THE BALL AND PROTECTING THE PUBLIC FROM POTENTIAL TERRORISTS SUCH AS MYSELF AND THE ORGANIZATIONS OF TERROR MY BACKGROUNDIS LOADED WITH. THIS, COMBINED WITH MY EXTENSIVE FIREARMS HISTORY AND INTERNATIONAL WEAPONS DEALING, INNER CITY GANG MEMBERSHIP AND EXHAUSTIVE TRAIL OF RESEARCH AND TIME SPENT ON 'HOW TO' WEBSITES FOR WMD MANUFACTURING . . . MUST HAVE MADE ME A DEAD RINGER AS A 'PERSON OF INTEREST' FOR POTENTIAL TERROR ACTIVITY AND, WORSE YET, LACK OF CHURCH ATTENDANCE. IT'S RELIEVING TO KNOW THAT ALL THAT SILLY CRITICISM OF GOVERNMENT WASTING HARD EARNED TAX MONIES IS MISGUIDED, PARANOID AND JUST DARN WRONG. GOVERNMENT . . . I'VE GOT TO HAND IT TO YOU. YA GOT ONE. BUT, TRUTHFULLY, WHAT REALLY TIPPED YOU OFF WERE THE DOGS IN MY DOSSIER: A COCKER SPANIEL MIX, AN AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD, A COLLIE, A RETARDED LAB AND A RESCUE BREED KNOWN TO SAVE DROWNING CHILDREN AND ACT AS COMPANIONS TO MONKS AND AL QAIDA, ALIKE, A ST. BERNARD.

BUT, I THINK YOU SHOULD REALLY CREDITTHE CA TRIAL LAWYERS WHO REALLY PUT 2 AND 2 TOGETHER ON ME. AFTER ALL, I DO HAVE AIKIDO AND PAST LINKS TO ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS CAMPUS LIFE, WESTMINSTER FELLOWSHIP AND THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN MY BIO. ONE OF MY H.S. DATES WAS, ADMITTEDLY, A TICK TOCKER, AS WELL, AND, MUCH LIKE AL QAIDA, HER PARENTS WERE RURAL AGRICULTURE, AS WELL. IN THE MINDS OF CA TRIAL LAWYERS, MY BACKGROUND WAS NOT ALL THAT DISSIMILAR TO A GROUP KNOWN AS THE WEATHER UNDERGROUND. AND NOW YOU REALIZE THE VALUE OF STANDARDIZED TESTING AND HOW IMPORTANT ITS ROLE IS IN ENSURING SOCIAL AUTHORITY IS PLACED IN THE HANDS OF THOSE MORE CAPABLE THAN YOU OR I . . .

MODNEX INTEL/KATSURA WORLDWIDE: KATSURA FINDS CAUSE OF CONTINUED RACISM IN CALIFORNIA

MODNEX INTEL/KATSURA WORLDWIDE . . .

"DIVISION OF SOCIAL JUSTICE AND CIVIL RIGHTS REFORM" . . . AND "DIVISION OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND CHANGE" . . .

. . . REPORTS . . . IN A "BREAKING NEWS ALERT" . . .

. . . THAT SOCIOLOGICAL AND ECONOMIC PRODIGIOUS SAVANT, "KEN KATSURA" . . . ADDS A NEW DIMENSION TO SOCIAL JUSTICE AND RACIAL DISCRIMINATION ANALYSIS IN THE UNITED STATES . . . WHICH HE STATES WILL ALLOW FOR THE HIRING OF THE MOST PRODUCTIVE AND TALENTED, REGARDLESS OR RACE, TO ENSURE THAT PROFITS AND ECONOMIC GROWTH WILL BLOOM . . . AND AT THE SAME TIME SOCIAL JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL . . .


KATSURA STATED:

“THE PROBLEM IN CALIFORNIA, AND PERHAPS IN OTHER PARTS OF THE U.S., AS WELL, IS THAT . . . SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS IN CALIFORNIA ARE NOTHING MORE THAN POLITICAL VEHICLES OF . . . 'CRONY RACISM' . . . WITH THE 'WOMENS MOVEMENT' AND SO-CALLED 'NATIVE AMERICAN' AND 'ETHNIC MINORITY' AND 'EQUALITY' AND 'BOTTOM-UP LABOR' MOVEMENTS AT THE TOP OF THE LIST OF MOVEMENTS WHICH, ULTIMATELY, TURN OUT TO BE MOVEMENTS OF 'CRONY RACISM' AND ‘WHITE RETRENCHMENT’ IN CALIFORNIA . . .

IN GRADUATE SCHOOL, BACK IN 1991-92, MY POPULATION AND DEMOGRAPHY PROFESSOR HAD ALL THE DATA ABOUT ETHNIC MINORITIES AND NON-WHITES BECOMING THE MAJORITY POPULATION IN CALIFORNIA.  SO, THE FACT IS, THAT GOVERNMENT AND BUSINESS LEADERS WERE WELL AWARE OF THIS COMING CHANGE, WHICH HAS ALREADY ARRIVED, AS FAR BACK AS IN THE LATE 1980S/EARLY 1990s.  THE ‘NEW DEMOCRATS’ CAME INTO POWER IN 1993.  THE ‘NEW REPUBLICANS’ FOLLOWED . . .  BOTH SUBSCRIBED TO ‘WHITE RETRENCHMENT’ TACTICS USING SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS AND A PHONY MULTICULTURAL MOVEMENT TO ETHNICIZE AND COLORIZE NON-WHITES TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT POSSIBLE AND TO THE INTENDED POINT OF SOCIAL STIGMA, ALIENTATING NON-WHITES FROM THEIR IDENTIFICATION OF BEING ‘AMERICANS.’ . . .  THE STRATEGY ALSO DIVIDED NON-WHITES INTO SEPARATE AND DISTINCT GROUPS AND GROUP IDENTIFICATION, A CRONY ‘DIVIDE AND CONQUER’ STRATEGY, TO BE CERTAIN . . . 

The problem is that government lumps both 'ethnic minorities' and 'non-whites' together into categories of RACE, rather than WHITE, PART-WHITE and NON-WHITE. If government did this it would clearly reveal the 'Soft/Passive Apartheid' which has existed and continues to exist . . . UNABATED AND ON A ‘CRONY’ LEVEL.

ALMOST EVERYONE IS AN ‘ETHNIC MINORITY’ IN CALIFORNIA AND SO-CALLED 'ETHNIC MINORITIES' ARE NOT TRUE 'MINORITIES', AS A GROUP, BUT A ‘MAJORITY’ IN FACT.  ‘ETHNIC MINORITIES’ CAN BE PERSONS WHO ARE MERELY A FACTION ‘NON-WHITE,’ BUT FAR, FAR FROM APPEARING ‘NON-WHITE.’  ONLY 'NON-WHITES' ARE . . . TRUE ‘MINORITIES’ . . .  WE NEED TO CHANGE THIS.  ‘NON-WHITES’ HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO RACIAL RELATIONSHIP WITH ‘WHITES’ . . . WHILE SO-CALLED ‘ETHNIC MINORITIES’ CAN, AND UP TO INCLUDING BEING, LITERALLY, ALMOST FULLY WHITE.  THE CONCENTRATION OF OUR EFFORTS TO ENSURE THAT ‘ETHNIC MINORITY RIGHTS’ ARE THE CENTER OF OUR EFFORTS TO COMBAT AGAINST RACIAL DISCRIMINATION ARE . . . ‘WHOLLY MISGUIDED.’

The fact that so many U.S. Whites are part Siberian (American Indian) makes their claim to ethnic minority status moot. One also has to realize that almost by default, Scandinavian Americans (Swede, Norwegian and Finnish, but not Danish) are half/fraction breeds by default as a result of these nations peoples HAVING INDIAN POPULATIONS such as the Sammi, Lapp and Kvet. There tons of peoples in these Scandinavian nations who are white, blond and blue eyed wno are part Lapp, Kvet, etc. SUCH PEOPLE COMPRISE A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF THE U.S. POPULATION OF WHITES. So, virtually by default most U.S. Whites aren't completely white and are at least part Indian, either from Scandinavia or Siberia/the Americas. Since this is the case, whites in the U.S. being a fraction Indian is moot and only AFFIRMS NON-MINORITY STATUS IN THE U.S.

(NOTE:  The probability that Swedish, Finnish and Norwegian Americans are part Indian (Sammi, Lapp, Kvet, etc., is very high . . . and such ancestries comprise a large percentage of the U.S. white population and white-ethnic minority population, as well.)
Govt should, first and foremost ask 'Are you a WHITE, PART-WHITE or NON-WHITE individual?' This prevents individuals and groups from exploiting trace non-white genetic elements in their makeup to excuse themselves from liability or suspicion of discrimination against non-whites!  THE FOCUS ON WHO IS AND IS NOT AN ‘ETHNIC MINORITY,’ RATHER THAN ‘WHITE,’ ‘PART WHITE’ OR ‘NON-WHITE’ . . . IS ESSENTIALLY HOW CALIFORNIA GETS AWAY WITH 'SOFT/PASSIVE APARTHEID' . . . AND MAINTAINS A LARGELY RACIALLY-BASED CASTE SYSTEM OF OPPORTUNITY . . . AND PREDICATED ON HOW 'WHITE' YOU ARE . . . WITH 'NON-WHITES' AT THE VERY BOTTOM OF CALIFORNIA'S RACIAL CASTE SYSTEM . . . ‘ETHNIC MINORITIES’ NEXT UP THE LADDER, AND ‘WHITES’ AND ‘NEAR WHITES’ AT THE VERY TOP.  THE LESS ‘WHITE’ YOU ARE, THE LESS CREDIT AND RECOGNITION YOU RECIEVE FOR YOUR ACHIEVEMENTS AND CIVIC CHARACTER . . .”
(I am a NON-WHITE bearing superior qualifications .  . . while, UNFORTUNATELY, AS A RESULT OF THE PAST ERAS SUCCEEDING THE 1980s, . . . NONE of my past employers/managers/supervisors are NON-WHITES.)
