Mathematicians Discover the Largest Number
Consent of the Governed Blog (11 Feb 2009)

PALO ALTO, CA – An international mathematics research team announced today that they had discovered a new integer that surpasses any previously known value … Project director Yujin Xiao of Stanford University said the theoretical number, dubbed a “stimulus,” could lead to breakthroughs in fields as diverse as astrophysics, quantum mechanics, and Chicago asphalt contracting.

“Unlike previous large numbers like the Googleplex or the Bazillionty, the Stimulus has no static numerical definition,” said Xiao. “It keeps growing and growing, compounding factorially, eating up all zeros in its path. It moves freely across Cartesian dimensions and has the power to make any other number irrational.”

Jean-Luc Brossard, a researcher with the European consortium CERN, said the number is so staggeringly large that it is difficult for even mathematicians to grasp, let alone lay people.

“The number itself is incomprehensible by human minds, and can only be theoretically understood in a fractional parallel universe which we refer to as the DC dimension,” said Brossard. “The best way to understand a stimulus is to imagine a dollar sign followed by a packed string of hexidecimal nanodigits, wound into a triple helix, woven into a dodecahedron, and stacked on top of one another. …

Xiao said the team discovered the number with the help of an international network of 24 nitrogen-cooled Cray Ultracluster supercomputers, the CERN particle accelerator, and “three pounds of Humboldt County Chronic.”

“The exciting news is that with more powerful computers and drugs, we believe we are on the verge of discovering an even larger number, which we refer to as a ‘stimulusconferencebill,'” said Xiao. “Speaker Pelosi has already promised us the funding.”

    This is fascinating. I had not made the connection between the Marcos gold and Barrick. I met Imelda Marcos in 1991 when she was living in Doris Duke’s home in Manhattan. I must say, she was about the most heavily watched person I have ever visited. The parade of financial people coming to meet her was impressive.

  2. Okay, so I stumbled upon some detailed information online that may link to the history of the banking crisis…but the anonymous source could just be half facts, half disinformation.

    I was reading R.D.Bradshaw’s “Goldsmiths” series and he mentions a 59-page document called “Collateral Damage 911” (just google for it) that mentions Yamashita’s Gold/Black Eagle Trust. I was aware of this trust fund before having read the Seagraves’ book on the subject a few years back. The Seagraves are expert historians on East Asia, and have spent most of their lives writing books on the region.

    The existence of the fund at some point seems probable considering the slush fund was uncovered during discovery during several court cases. I think I read somewhere that Nixon gave the control of the fund back to the Japanese in exchange for political kickbacks, but who really knows? (Nixon may not have cared since after 1973 the US could print as much money as it wanted to)

    But as what that slush fund used for covert ops and this banking crisis may have to do with each other is the banks listed in the following excerpt from page 17 of Collateral Damage 911:

    “George Bush ultimately took the gold from Marcos in 1986 when Marcos was forced out of office. It is estimated that Marcos was in possession of 73,000 tonnes of gold at that time.
    In removing Marcos from office, the U.S. was supported by his General Fidel Ramos, who defected from Marcos’s ranks to support Corazon Aquino. Fidel Ramos was later made a Board member of the Carlyle Group. The Marcos gold was removed to a series of banks, most notably ***Citibank***, ***Chase Manhattan***, ***Hong Kong Shanghai Banking Corporation***,***UBS*** and ***Banker’s Trust***, and held in a depository in Kloten Switzerland. Bush administrators involved in the forced departure of Marcos were Richard Armitage and Paul Wolfowitz. Adnan Khashoggi was also involved, helping move the gold. It was at this time that Khashoggi , Shiek Kamal Adham, Khalid bin Mahfouz, and Peter Munk would create a Canadian gold mining company called Barrick Gold. ”

    Since most of all those banks are now supposedly insolvent, who now has the gold…the biggest treasure trove and political slush fund known to man???

  3. As Everette Dirksen said, “a billion here, a billion there, pretty soon we’re (Congress) talking about real money.”

  4. That’s an awesome discovery. Humor is much appreciated. Especially considering the things going on around the world. Thanks for that.
