Things Bad People Taught Me
This page is dedicated to things I learned from relationships with bad people.  I hope this list will help you to avoid situations and relationships that were painful to me.
Lessons Learned by Befriending Bridget

"Irish Traitors" brings Bridget to mind...


  • If you meet someone and think she will make a good friend, put her through many tests before believing what you perceive.
  • Many personality types make for bad friendships. Avoid, most of all, the passive-aggressive, sociopathic, and narcissistic personality types.
  • Heterosexuals should keep friends of the opposite sex at an arms length, for the danger of romantic involvement always exists.
  • Don't let a friend of the opposite sex off the hook for flirting. Either end the friendship or pursue an intimate relationship with her. Never navigate a fine line in between sex and platonic friendship.
  • Never trust anyone you meet at a political event or in a political organization. If you do meet such a person and wish to be friends, investigate the person thoroughly before getting closer.
  • Before befriending anyone, in the process of getting closer, mention something slightly negative about the police to see what kind of reply you get. Make sure the person has no close friends or relatives that are police officers. Police officers abuse their authority and often do unethical, illegal, and abusive favors for their friends and family. You do not want a friend that might exploit such connections to cause trouble for you.
  • Do not befriend anyone whose primary class loyalty is different than your own. If you ever have a falling out, you can be sure that she will backstab you.
  • Never trust anyone with your deepest secrets. I confided in someone I loved and she let me down in ways light years beyond what I thought possible.
  • Just because you are a good person and your family is a good family, do not assume that most other people are like you and yours. Some people get by in life by destroying the lives of others. They learn to do this and they learn how to do this from their parents. This is especially true if you have moved to an area that does not share your culture. You do not know what you're getting into and have not put up the proper defenses against it.
  • Beware of small business owners and their families. While many are good people, most are fundamentally cowards and suck-ups to authority. The "mom and pop" enterprise religion is often sprinkled with selfishness and an "us against them" world view. Entrepreneuristic tendencies are often routed in a family culture derived from centuries of scamming, blackmarket economics, and other low-life means of earning a living.
  • Never befriend anyone who respects authority. Authoritarian people, for the most part, are less intelligent than anti-authoritarian people. They will believe whatever a person in authority tells them. This makes them likely dupes to others in positions of authority who may seek to hurt you. For example, Bridget was duped by Mary. She bought her lies hook-line-and-sinker and then sold out to her.
  • Women often win the hearts of men by over inflating a man's ego. This is nothing more than a form of manipulation. If a woman starts over-complementing you, run the other way.
  • If you have Aspergers, and I believe I do, stick strictly to taking turns in all matters within a relationship. If someone calls you, return her call once and no more than once. If someone writes you a letter, reply with a single letter and no more. Think of relationships like a game of tennis. Imagine that each event is like hitting the ball with a racket. You don't swing until the ball is returned. If that person does not reply, abstain from replying too.
  • When a person refuses to communicate with you, do not assume that she has merely moved on with her life. She may be up to something. If nothing can get her to reconsider, then it is highly likely that she has crossed the line and is doing things which, if discovered, would justify retaliation. This is the most probable reason why she will not reconcile. When in such a situation, take active steps to invalidate whatever information that person may have about you (e.g. move away, change your telephone number, and so on). Make it impossible for that person to monitor you or interfere with your life, for the person is passive-aggressive and is capable of injustice, crime, and unethical behavior.
  • No person who refuses to reconcile is worth reconciling with.
  • Scam artists and undercover traitors use the same stories over and over. One of the ways I outed Bridget was by the stories she told to her latest victims. Even though 16 years had passed, her stories had not changed. She is charming exactly because she's refined the same scripts over and over countless times. When you see her non-scripted correspondences, they reveal a lack of intelligence, a lack of class, and a lack of imagination.
  • Undercover agents do not tell their roommates and family details of their undercover projects. When I showed up once, unexpectedly, and talked with her roommate, her roommate knew no details of our relationship. She told me that Bridget never talks about "that part of her life." Given the closeness of our relationship, this shows that the relationship was fake. It supports the proposition that she was an informant.

Things I Learned from Jack, the Jack Ass

Jack is a short, bald, short-tempered, ugly guy living in Tucson.

Jack was the owner of a software development corporation.  Jack avoided fighting in Vietnam by joining a seminary.  When it was clear that he wouldn't be going to Vietnam, he decided not to become a priest, left the seminary, and married a woman.  Thus, Jack failed at becoming a priest.  Jack studied Psychology.  Unfit to be a practicing psychologist, he became an industrial psychologist.  Failing at that, he went into human resources.  Failing at that, he started a software company that provided software to human resources departments.

He developed his first product in DOS.  It's interface really sucked, but it was the best he could do.  Later, he tried to develop a version of the product in Windows, but drove his partner crazy.  The partner quit and Jack struck out without him.  To this day, he still hates his ex-partner.  Next, Jack hired several people to work with him.  A failed cop, a former drug addict, a woman obsessed with her teeth, and a very fat woman who hates Muslims.  They hired a programmer to do develop a windows version of the product (yet another try), and he quit due to the poor management skills and bad temper of Jack.

So, Jack hired another programmer.  Every time he would make great progress in creating the new application, Jack would decide that it should be redone in another language.  Jack did this THREE times.  His programmer got depressed, stopped showing up for work, and quit.  Later, Jack would lie and claim to have fired this employee, but he has a copy of the letter from Jack accepting the resignation.

Jack spends much of his time online stalking people for political reasons.  This is what I learned from Jack:

  • Anyone who makes a big deal about what language a program is written in, doesn't know squat about programming.
  • Stay away from people who blame their own failures on their subordinates.
  • Don't work for someone who opens all your mail arriving at the office.
  • Some people wake up really early to get into the office and snoop around before everyone else shows up for work.
  • A person's moral depth is inversely proportional to how many cars they posses at once.
  • Don't work for a guy who likes to hire cops.  He is a suck up to authority.  Suck ups to authority hate free thinkers.
  • No interview should last more than two hours.  If an interview lasts for three days, something is very wrong with the interviewer.
  • People who make nasty remarks to toddlers are psychos.


Things Learned Working with Mary

Did Lizzie come back as Mary?


  • Corrupt bosses have their assistants replaced frequently in order to prevent any one person from discerning compromising patterns.
  • Twisted people keep candy in a special place specifically "just in case" children come by.  Think about this.  Why would a woman keep candy in her file cabinet and then tell you she keeps it there just in case someone brings children by?  This woman's office is not accessible to the public.  Something is wrong here (as in, hey kid, want some candy?).
  • If the head of personnel of some company impresses you as rude or bossy during the interview or follow up process, don't accept the job, regardless of what you think about the company.
  • On the first day of work at any company, you are asked to sign many documents you have never seen before. Before that day arrives, you've already resigned your previous job and you have possibly even moved. This documents, under those circumstances, are coercive because refusal to sign will put you in an untenable situation. Consequently, ask for all of those documents in advance. These documents are not "standard." They all exist for reasons and their specifics often tell you something about the people running the company you are about to spend years with. For example, in the case of Mary, one of the documents was an agreement to never publish anything about any of the company's officers. That agreement was later used as the basis to silence me. The document exists because the behavior of the officers and principal employees of her company is so outrageously unethical, that she must make people agree to say nothing before they even know what kind of unethical things she will do. Had I seen that document before moving to take the job at her company, I would never have taken the job.
  • When you leave a company, you are often given a separation agreement. That agreement always is presented as a formality, but it is anything but a formality. It is constructed to take away from you all of your rights and impart upon your soon to be former employer outrageous rights in exchange for absolutely nothing. The employer is attempting to gain the right to slander, defame, and libel you while disarming you from defending yourself against such violence. The employer is attempting to gain the right to violate your privacy while protecting its own. There is absolutely no reason to sign such a document. After my experience with Mary, I do not sign these documents any longer. There is nothing anyone can do about you not signing them. In fact, they can do more negative things to you if you sign the document than if you do not sign it.
  • Do not work in a company where someone in a position of authority over you has a reputation for stalking and harassing others. Usually, people will confide in you things like "Don't get on Mary's bad side", where "Mary" is the name of the mental defective you need to avoid. Such people are in the position they are in by doing unethical (and often unthinkable) things to others. They will abuse their authority and their access to personal information (e.g. credit reports, background investigations, medical records, and even, believe it or not, your emergency contact list).
  • Do not work in a company where people in positions of authority tell negative stories about former employees. They will do the same to you when you leave.
  • Watch out for people who have used unethical means in the past to silence critics.

Lessons Learned Working for Doug

Read what I write about "con jobs" below...


For a period of two years I worked for a defense contractor, the president and CEO of which is named Doug. Had I not had the pleasure of working for Doug, I would not have learned the following things:

  • DARPA does not award contracts based on merit. Contracts are awarded based on cronyism. I'm not sure how one becomes a crony, that is, how one gets on the gravy train, but once on the gravy train, the gravy keeps coming. In fact, behind the scenes, through unofficial channels, cronies are assured that they will get their nuggets, even before proposals are reviewed.
  • When a defense contractor gets a contract from DARPA, they contract to "try really hard." They do not contract to accomplish anything of merit. Basically, they are given money to say they tried really hard and then show something, even if it doesn't work.
  • When a person is famous, people will interview the person and write glowing articles. It doesn't matter whether the person has anything important to show. It doesn't matter whether the person has accomplished anything at all. What matters it that the person is famous. This justifies writing glowing articles. All kinds of absurdly positive things will be written about the famous person's achievements, even when all of the evidence negates all of the claims. When a completely exaggerated article is published about the work of a famous person, the famous person will not correct the mistakes. He will let the mistakes be.
  • When glowing and baseless articles are written about a famous person, people throw money at the famous person.
  • Famous people who have had a lot of money thrown at them, refer to the amount of money thrown at them as a reason to take them seriously and, more importantly, as a reason to throw more money at them.
  • Many people famous for being very intelligent are not very intelligent.
  • If you are famous for being very intelligent, but are only slightly above normal in intelligence, you can use that slightly above normal intelligence to silence through intimidation, smears, libel, and manipulation anyone smarter than you who knows you are not what you have been made out to be. The less famous the more intelligent person in the know is, the more important it is to keep the smarter person from becoming famous. If he begins to gain fame, he must be smeared and discredited through disinformation.
  • High ranking people hide their unethical and immoral behavior behind their high rank. In fact, rank provides such ample cover for depravity that it is generally true that the higher the rank of a person, the more depraved he is.
  • Everything evil, unethical, and immoral about any hierarchical organization is caused by the fact that the person at the top of the hierarchy is evil, unethical, and immoral and two natural phenomena: people like to imitate leaders and people are cowards.
  • There is an inverse relationship between virtue and subterfuge. Virtuous people rise on their virtue. Creepy scum buckets rise on subterfuge.
  • Nepotism leads to corruption. The corrupt prefer nepotism.
  • The best con job of all is the con job whose success cannot be measured.
  • The best way to ensure that your con job's success cannot be measured is to claim that it will take more than a lifetime to complete the task the con job is aimed to accomplish. That way, you'll be dead before anyone finds out you are a confidence man.
  • There is an active and highly unethical revolving door between government and corporate welfare clients.
  • There exist people who see dollar signs when 3000 people are murdered within hours.
  • A good way to become famous is to do something easy before anyone else tries it.
