IAFF The Missing Posts #369
369. Flailing Forward
April 21st, 2007 at 8:09 am
There seems to be a difference in perceptions on your work ethic. The general consensus is that you're a lazy shiftless scammer who doesn't want to work. You of course maintain that you work as hard or harder than anybody else. Perhaps the problem is in what you reveal to us on the blog. Here are the subjects of your last 15 posts (slightly paraphrased):
1. I'm so depressed, OMG
2. My pool is dirty, this sux
3. Didn't file taxes, didn't send cashcall paperwork
4. Freakin' Haterz™!
5. Creative ideas, la lala lala
6. I was on TV
7. Ok, I'm not writing a book
8. I'm gonna make a comeback! Yay!
9. I'm writing a book!
10. Freakin' Haterz™!
11. I paid off my loan by borrowing more money
12. I was on TV
13. Idle speculation time, part II
14. Idle speculation time
15. I was in some magazines
16. I'm still married
17. Me and Nigel broke up
18. Screw you Haterz™! I just bought some stock!
19. I made $250 by answering questions
20. I made $378 by dancing like a monkey
I think the problem may be that from what you write, it doesn't look like you ever accomplish anything. Take #11 for example. You say it felt great to pay back your original lender. But you paid it back with money from another lender through your corporation. That's not much of an accomplishment. At best it's a lateral move, and at worst, it's blatantly illegal.
Anyhoo, because of the lack of progress, many of us wonder what exactly you and Galina do all day. Maybe you should do a daily entry for your activities like you were doing with Earth Mission. That would allow people to see exactly what you are accomplishing behind the scenes at IAFF. It could also be helpful to yourself to see how well you're staying on task to accomplish those goals of yours.
It could also be unintentionally hilarious. Winwin!

FIRST
You stink of firstiness...
MURST!
Awww geez...thats what i get for reading the post before posting!
Once again....actin' big and talkin' rich......you bunch of loosers.
I second the post. A blow by blow account of his day would either shut the Haterz™ up or prove our point. Considering we've been asking for this for damn near 6 months, I'm thinking we have our answer...
Soon, my number of FIRSTS! will exceed the number of unique visitors to an award winning blog.
I gotta start looking for some sweet deals. This looser J-O-B is really keeping my magical firstiness under wraps.
My first hypothesis:
Several months ago the Dawg posted a photo of Half Dome in Yosemite.
Princess noticed that it was all black when he went to bed, and in gorgeous noon sunlight when he woke up.
Since then he's downloaded the site sources & is reverse engineering them to figure out how Rob did it.
Plausible?
Gaddammit. I *just* posted this on the other thread, and you go and start a new topic. well pooo on yooo, and here it is, for the final time, just for posterities' sake.
I posted this at the end of the comments of the last post, but I think it's worth considering:
I don't think Casey can afford an attorney, although he often goes on about his corporate and criminal attorneys. Virtual attorneys show up in EVERY situation ever. They're free, after all, so why not have a whole fleet of them?
I think Galina is on public assistance, which is why she can't get a job (that would reduce her benefit amount). Someone mentioned that here, and may have mentioned it there. She probably got scared that people would see that and made him delete everything around that point. The rules for that are strict, as far as I know. You have to report all the people in the household, you have to report all the income of everyone. It would ALSO explain what happened with her education: unbelievably, California will cut your benefits immediately if you go to any sort of school. They will not help with books for college... so like I said, I think she's on public assistance or SSI/SDI). She, he, or all three of them probably lied to get their benefits, which a quick google search tells me is around $800/$850 a month for a single person living on their own.... which is simply not enough to pay rent in Sacramento/West Sac, at ~$750/month, and pay utilities, phone, etc., even if you beg and trash dive for food. Also, it's magnitudes of times harder to get public assistance if you have no children or are not a minority.
I really think this is what they are all up to. The sad thing is, I am actually in favor of this.... FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE PAID IN TO IT. People pay a huge amount for "Social Security" crap in this state, and no one under the age of 55 is ever going to see a penny of that money. If you can find some way to bring some of that back to you or a loved one, then do it. It's highway robbery that we all have to pay that shit and will get nothing back. The politicians are robbing the Social Security fund for their own purposes, and people in the middle-class 25-45 age group are funding it *and* having to provide for both their children and their parents and grandparents. Fuck it. If you can finagle some way to get some of this money back to actual citizens (not anchor baby drops by illegal immigrants), then goodie for you.
The problem I have is that Snowflake has never worked a day in his life, so he and his have never contributed to the fund. So they shouldn't get a damn thing. They come over here, suck up our resources, and whine whine whine about how tough life is. Shut the fuck up. We're supporting your asses already, and you want MORE? Fuck off.
Here's the deal. We KNOW he does nothing all day and Earth Mission confirms what we knew all along. He naps, he and Galina need vacation time. Hell, when they got married they drove themselves immediately into a ton of credit card debt because they felt they needed some "Alone time" in Stateline. Besides, Casey pondered, we could always make money on the side with my programming skills. Unfortunately dear friends, all Casey did was nap and shuffle papers on his desk. It took the month of March to come knocking before they took out their Christmas tree. And even then, Galina did it!
Casey tried to give an accounting of his day but it was full of big obvious gaps and vague references to "business meetings". I want a minute by minute blow by blow for an entire week before I will change my attitude about his work ethic.
The picture of Lord Casey dropping off some beer for the peasants fixing the fence prior to his zooming off to pursue more "sweet deals" was priceless. Never get your hands dirty, do you Casey?
Hey, he's an Ideas Guy, not an Execution Guy...
I want an accounting of how he pays his daily expenses....
Credit cards are over
Credit of any sort is over
No savings
No income
So....how does he put gas in the car, buy food....in essence, EXIST. Yesterday, we learn he popped for a couple of cases of suds....HOW?
Whenever I was broke, I had NO money and could not buy ANYTHING. How does Snowflake get through a day w/o money and w/o credit?
Muncy goes on the block on 4/26 correct?
I predict Haterz avoidance mode followed by futile last minute short sale drama on tuesday/wednesday.
@LOL
So you predict blog silence will be broken on Wednesday? I personally think he'll break it by day's end or tomorrow.
GENTLEMEN,
With Mr. SERIN's last foreclosure auction scheduled for this Friday, and the sudden drop in Mr. SWABY's business -- as well as the creation of a bizarre blog targeting Robert COTÉ-- it seems that the two have partnered in a new business venture.
You may have heard of the Church of the SubGenius[tm]. Messrs. SERIN and SWABY have created the Church of the SubPrime[tm]. Not only does this provide a vehicle of "sweet" 501(c)(3) tax-exemption benefits, it also gives them an even bigger opportunity to court media attention. No longer will they be relegated to late night telecasts or basic cable!
They are recruiting new members from newspaper ads and signs strategically placed on telephone poles exhorting: "Own this home with no banks! G-d hates banks!" Its misogynistic scriptures preach the evil of tinfoil clothing on females, and advocate a return to "traditional duties" for women -- such as cabinet assembly, pool cleaning, lawn-mowing, and basic wage earning.
The first thing they plan to do is picket foreclosure auctions, such as the one this Friday. Also, in a bold move, they are also planning on picketing the funerals of Wells Fargo and RE/MAX employees.
You can see a still image of their recent efforts here.
I remain,
M. SINGH
"TK said...

Oh I am sure he will post some unsubstantial BS between now and wednesday. If he reads EN before he posts there will be no Muncy Pool post.
There will be short sale drama however, snowflake will want his last house to go out with a bang.
Clearly entering a down cycle.
Has Galina fully involved in the property.
Trying to hold out until 6 months pass on the big notes.
Basically went to say goodbye to the last house.
Partially comprehends the futility of monetizing his story.
No backup plans materializing.
Up next: Going out of business sale. Simplify his life, don't let the banks get anything.
Oh, and a suggestion. No more "get a job" posts. That time is past and at this point rings of "don't buy 8 houses in 8 months" after the fact.
I am mildly surprised that none of buy-and-forclose-tards houses burned down...maybe he's not that dumb...
How does Snowflake get through a day w/o money and w/o credit?
Each person in that family is pulling the max SSI/SDI of .... oh, I dunno what it is now, $850/month?
And we don't know how many people are living in that house. There could easily be, and considering the usual size of Russian families probably are, a dozen or more people living in one domicile.
If each person is claiming to live alone and be disabled, that's $850 a month per person. Three or four people, and hey, nice money. Six or eight people, and whoa, really nice money.
Or, you know, drugs and sex and mafia and such.
Casey is lazy and scrawny and small, so I'm going with the fraud thing. He would never last in the drug trade,
Dawg,
I believe our attacks have clearly gotten more effective. The get a job stuff is probably overdone. I also think threatening him with legal consequences has no effect either. If we want to really get to the meat of the issue and push his buttons (Lord knows he knows how to push ours) we need to hammer him on the following:
Time management
Imminent end to "homeownership" and the looming debt crisis
His lack of business acumen in any respect and utter ineffectiveness
Hammar Investments
Nigel's backstabbing and theft of his ideas
Any other suggestions?
I feel he's on the ropes finally.
Heekee mentioned earlier that Casey had some legitimate opportunities which he may pursue while taking his whiny blog-break. Knowing Casey he will find a way to screw them up.
Everything Ignore mode ON
You can see a still image of their recent efforts here.
I remain,
M. SINGH
+++++++++++++++
LOL M. SINGH.
I've always made the point to chase his lack of business acumen. He has none and it must hurt to have it pointed out to you every second.
I also suggest we continue attacking his "ideas" as in THERE ARE NONE.
considering the usual size of Russian families,
Yeah, tell me about Russian family size:
"Russia's population fell by more than half a million, or 0.3%, in the first eight months of the year, new statistics show.
Figures from the State Statistics Committee predict a further population decline of 11 million, to about 134 million, in the world's largest country by 2015."
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/988723.stm
Fuck, you ENers get stupider and stupider by the day.
Since Isamu aparently lacks the ability to think critically, just because the population dropped, doesnt mean that families arent big. You ever hear of MOVING AWAY FROM YOUR BIRTHPLACE, you fucking mental midget?
So is Isamu Nigel or one of Casey's buddies? My money is on the half-caste Jamaican.
As far as Russia... yeah not a ton of kids, but when we say "russian" and "family" in the same sentence we don't mean "nuclear family" we mean "extended family" which, with obvious in-breeding, can extend to many, many branches of the family tree.

Russians live mainly as nuclear families which is typical in places where the state supports the elderly. Hate to burst your reality bubble, snowflake.
Nice try Nigel. As usual, your need to school anybody you disagree with backfires.
Russians do have big families. The typical family will have at least 2 kids while still living with their parents.
What would you know about Nuclear families? We all know you don't have any kids. We find that surprising seeing that those who have kids do it more out of ego than love or need.
Hey half-caste,
So russian immigrants are in-breds that hang out in very large groups of other in-bred russians that are often related through blood/marriage?
Snowflake's own photos (and my own experience in NoCal) show that to be the case.
Anyway Nigel, fun talking to you... Bee-otch!
El Gabo -
Don't blame poor Nigel for not knowing how Russians live. He lives in whitebread SLC after all (that's NIGEL SWABY for google purposes).
In Hollywood, the Russians only talk to other Russians, shop in Russian establishments and spend money like there is no tomorrow. They do have big families which is something certain know-it-alls can't grasp.
Wouldn't a person living in SLC know what a big family looks like since it's the promised land for bigamists and large Mormon families (as Seinfeld would say - not that there is anything wrong with that!).
I hate know-it-alls who can't stay on their own playgrounds and preach to their small audience. Nigel Swaby, I thought you told Rob to play in his sandbox? Why come here and play? Pissed off nobody comes to your sites anymore?
Russians do have big families. The typical family will have at least 2 kids while still living with their parents.
Did you even bother to read the link I so kindly provided:
"The official fertility rate - understood as the average number of children a woman has between the ages of 15 and 49 - was 1.17 in 1999.
The minimum rate for a population to replace itself is 2.5, Mr Feshbach said."
The low birth rate in the FSU is so obvious its a running joke there (yes, I've been).
Typical ENer, rather not pay attention to those stupid fact things. Just like Casey.
Osamu-
Stop spreading your filthy uneducated lies. It's a proven fact that Russians have enormous families. But I guess you wouldn't know that as the savior of the Nigerian bobsled team, now would you. Why don't you stick to what you know. I could provide sources all day long, but I'm much too busy. You should have listened to Mr. T and stayed in skoo, foo.
I forgot to mention that the reason I'm too busy is that I'm selling mortgages like crazy and working on my pool. Don't hate the playa!
Nigel aka Isamu - I am one hundred times smarter than you'll ever be. Your lame trolling is tiresome. I read your crappy link. Just like Nigel to post a link that means NOTHING.
Sorry bud, I have great reading comprehension and don't need you to edjumacate me. Why don't you spend more time with Casey seeing that HE needs some edumacation.
Oh, and fuck you. Typical Nigel Swarby. Your true face is showing and it's not pretty.
The average household size in Uzbekistan is 5.1. The average size in the United States, for comparison, is 2.6.

Anon 11:05,
Beat me to it. I was about to unleash my mad demographix skillz on the differences. The US popualtion is burgeoning and family size is decreasing. Former Soviet Union states are losing population and have very large families.
If the housing decline proceeds as expected we can probably expect to reverse trend with a moderation in population increase from several factors and a decrease in household formation and related increase in household size. Moderation in population increase; lower birth rate due to general economic conditions, increased death rate because of the same and reduced health care coverage and a natural demographic bubble of eldrely (not boomers). I feel like Hari Sheldon, Psychohistorian.
The average household size in Uzbekistan is 5.1.
So? Only 5.5% of Uzbeks are ethnic Russian.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Uzbekistan
Jesus anonymous you really are a fucking liar. From the study you cited:
Belarus 1999 2.6
Republic of Moldova 2001 2.6
Russian Federation 1994 2.8
Ukraine 1989 3.2
And a guarantee you those Ukraine numbers have plunged since 1989.
Way to leave out relevant data.
Don't feed the trolls!
Now please STFU Nigel.
SO the ethnic Russian part of the population then has small families while their muslim Uzbeck counterparts have large ones? I missed that part of the statistic. I work in Brooklyn several times a week. Many of my customers are Russians. Several of them are Russian Uzbeks. They have huge families. So it couldn't possibly be that they're fleeing their homeland in droves and having massive families in countries where they can be rich as hell. At least in my experience they left home so they could avoid the political turmoil and make pretty intense amounts of money in their own communities here in the US. and NOT what appears to be your argument that Russians have basically decided to stop procreating. Do you deal with a lot of Russians Isamu? I think no.
Isamu/Nigel - Do we fucking care about your useless information? That is the problem with you and your sites. You pad your work with useless information.
Fuck off Nigel. Nobody gives a shit about you or your "facts."
Fucking a-hole.
Anon@11:35 - my point to Nigel exactly. They DO have large families but that usually occurs when they move to richer countries.
I am the Anon that posted the UNECE link.
I posted the Uzbekistan figure because I believe that is where Casey was from. Your way of calling people names is very off-putting. I am sure I am not the only one who remembers your previous, similarly hostile posts.
The document I linked to lists the source data Eurostat New Cronos, but the link to the specific source is now dead. It does however specify that that 5.1 figure is from 1996.
The US figure of 2.6 is tied for 6th smallest, the Uzbek. figure is 3rd largest.
Casey and Nigel hate America and our troops! They want to get rich off of others without any sacrifice.
M. Singh, you're my favorite. I have no idea why so much hostility appeared against you. Keep posting!
SO the ethnic Russian part of the population then has small families while their muslim Uzbeck counterparts have large ones? I missed that part of the statistic.
Different ethnicities can have wildly different family sizes even within the same country, e.g. mexicans vs. whites in the US, but then again you knew that and are just being fucktarded.
hint: outside of Tashkent Uzbekistan is more like Mongolia than E. Europe.

Do you deal with a lot of Russians Isamu? I think no.
My parents were Ukrainian immigrants, I meet a lot of recent Ukrainian immigrants via church (Catholic Uniate), I live near an area with lots of Slavic immigrants (Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, Serbian, etc). I know some with large families and some that remained childless. But guess what, anecdotes mean shit, you need statistics. I don't have any for immigrant family size. Do you?
Anon 11:51,
That's neither fair nor accurate. Casey sought and continues to seek something for nothing. I doubt either personal or societal sacrifice are in his field of vision. Nigel sought and continues to seek a position of leverage. He understands the concepts of market and positioning but fails to comprehend that this is not enough. Nigel does not add value. There are more than a few that would suggest Nigel dissapates the value anything he embraces.
Consider the following comments very carefully:
The US has and probably will always spend blood and treasure on those things that benefit and/or matter to the US. The lives lost in "failed" or "misguided" adventures are not wasted. There are no assurances nor is there any presumption of infallibility. Any assurances of either are IMO evidence of weak justification.
Our troops and our treasure do not exist to protect wealth, they protect rights. Protect the rights, and you protect the troops and the American ideals. This is why Casey needs to face his consequences. It is why Nigel is afraid to speak for himself.
I'm guessing Snowflake and Galina are heavy duty potheads. This would explain their inability to get anything done and also where some of the money went.
@Rob Dawg - Yes, I find immigrants who come here and commit fraud to be a disgrace and they need to be punished, deported or both.
@polizeros - I've wondered if there were some drug connection. Money, time, brains. Plus he couldn't discuss it publicly and would probably never willingly admit to it.
How else do you sleep until 3pm @ 24 years old if not because of some HARD PARTYING??
