An About-the-Author Post would be helpful, at this point

The reason for the creation of the Blue Marble Album was this:   Americans were being hideously deceived by power grabbers who obviously thought that Americans were the most stupid and gullible people on Earth.  A prime example was seen in the majority of Americans believing in the non-existent Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction.  And of course, this was not the only con game orchestrated by Americans in political and/or financial and/or societal power.  

The con games done by unconscionable career politicians, activists, and arrogant journalists were such an insult to the intelligence of one Pennsylvania native that the deceptiveness called for a response.  Eventually, he would include numerous pieces of photocopied evidence, to support his assertions and declaratory statements.  Doing such a thing is equivalent to warning the People of the wolves in their midst.

               A lot of such work is found at this site:     https://www.bluemarblealbum.com

Now, the author of this site was a whistle blower more than once, and he paid heavily for it.  This includes him enduring the trashing of his reputation and in him being completely shut-off by those influential powers that be.  This included threats of physical violence,  as well as one actual attempt at very physical violence, done in front of the property owner where the failed attempt was made.  This whistle blower retaliation even included threats to his car.   

An instance of the Blue Marble Album author being a whistle blower who was abandoned & isolated after retaliation is here:

For the record, Donald Wuerl is now a retired corrupt & unrepentant bishop who became a very corrupt & unrepentant cardinal, during the reign of Nazi Pope Benedict XVI.  Benedict's papacy was the epitome of corruption, as was proven to have been the case, by his butler handing over evidence to certain journalists.   

The media originally made Donald Wuerl out to be the most holy cleric in America, in a long-term propaganda ploy.  However, a 2018 Pennsylvania Grand Jury Report revealed how corrupt this Donald Wuerl actually was.  The Grand Jury Inquest occurred under the supervision of former AG and present governor Josh Shapiro.  For now, let's continue with the original purpose of this particular post ...

... and, let's use photocopies to introduce or reintroduce the author of the Blue Marble Album.

Below: an Honors Society yearbook photocopy of a Catholic college, in 1983.  After his attendance at the Univ of Tampa ... where Patrick Anthony Pontillo ended-up being published in anthology form ... at the age of 20 ... along side national book award winners, a Walt Whitman Award winner, and other laureates ...  he enrolled at a Pennsylvania college where he was taught by one of JFK's former economic advisors.

Concerning the 1983 photo below, the Blue Marble Album author, Patrick Anthony Pontillo, is the one in the checkered flannel shirt, standing in the second row, next to the Clark Kent look-alike.  

          Above:  As far as goes Patrick's status at the time of the photo was first semester senior.  So, you cannot deny that he was at the top ... at the very top five or so ... of his class.   All the people in that photo had at least a 3.5 gpa. 

One more pertinent note:  In 1983 Patrick was also inducted into the Phi Sigma Iota Language Honors Fraternity, for exceptional achievement in languages ... well you know the rest.  Incidentally, the chapter which inducted him was the Iota Iota chapter. 

As an added note, while at the Catholic college there, during the year prior, Patrick scored a 100% on a national, standardized accounting exam authored by Harvard University.

In fact, the first anthology in which Patrick was ever published sits on a Harvard University library shelf today, as well as on a Northwestern Univ book shelf, and at other college libraries.  So, he has proven himself to have been able to keep pace with the Ivy League.  And you wonder if you should spend time reading his writings?  

His writings contain a lot of charts, graphs, newspaper photocopies, and similar pieces of evidence, to prove the validity of his assertions and declaratory statements.  If you don't want to read his writings, then at least look at all the illustrations.  If you do not want to read the historic newspaper photocopies he posted, then at least read their headlines and sub-headlines.

In addition, Patrick later became a member of the International High IQ Society which is a good additive.  But on its own, it's not worth anything.  With a National Honors Society membership and a Phi Sigma Iota membership, an IHIQS membership becomes a confirmation that you're not dealing with sophomoric chump change, in terms of apprehending subject matter, comprehending the meaning of the subject matter, and then applying a rhythm to cognizance, while developing thought processes in sequences, and conveying the subject matter as if to be showing a movie ... or as if to be taking you through a proverbial Time Machine.

Lineage

It's acknowledged that many an American has a distrust of Hispanics.  This is understood, even as to why this is so, as in violent gangs and the drug trade.  Well, Patrick's last name almost matches a former president of Mexico.  So, he sounds very Latin American.   And while in Florida, he was often assumed to be from Central America, until he was heard speaking in his northeastern American accent.

The truth is that Patrick's paternal grandparents came from the Mount Vesuvius part of Italy --- Benevento & Avellino --- near Naples.   Pat's maternal grandparents came from Southwestern Ireland --- Tipperary & Muintervara (in Kilcrohane ... Munster Province ... on the peninsula between Bantry Bay & Dunmanus Bay.)

Patrick also had an Irish great uncle who became a New York City fireman.  During one fire, things did not go well for him.  He is on the roll-call of those NYC firefighters who died in the line of duty. 

Pat also has a second or third cousin who placed highly in a Miss Italy pageant.  When they placed her on the cover of Italy's most purchased magazine, they dressed her up like Jane Russell in the hayloft scene of the Outlaws.  Pat, himself, is from Pittsburgh.  

Moreover, the give-away which showed Patrick to not have been a Central American ... or NOT have been the "Spic" people assumed he was ... was when you got close to him and saw green-hazel eyes.  You would instantly realize that he was deliberately named after the patron saint of Ireland.  None the less, Pat was called a "Spic," before.

Pat's father was no Central American, as well.  He was a native of Central Pennsylvania.  He was a mechanical engineer for the Armco Steel Corporation who earned the GI Bill & Distinguished Flying Cross, by traveling over the more hostile parts of Nazi German airspace 35 times, in a heavily armed B-24 Bomber.  

Pat also has a sibling who was a metallurgical engineer and a military officer.  In fact, Pat's extended family members are mostly teachers/professors and lawyers, in addition to one electrical engineer.  He's from a very white collar upper-middle class, country club family.  All members of that family were sent to private academies, for a portion of their school years.  In fact, when you're a member of that family, you are expected to make the national honors society.  Don't judge a last name by its cover.

Back to the Honors Society Photo

Now, when you are looking at an Honors Society photo, you are looking at those at the top of their classes.  You see ten students in the photo above, in a school of approximately 1,750 or so undergrads.  Today, that same school has an undergrad enrollment of approximately 2,400 students.  A few years prior, the enrollment was approximately 2,000 undergrads and 400 graduate students of varying sort.

Below is a letter of recommendation from his philosophy professor.  It and the photo above should help you figure out if this Patrick Anthony Pontillo guy is worth reading.  At the least, his numerous photo-copies of evidence are very much worth viewing.

A 137 IQ is classified in the 98.9 to 99.3 percentile.  One out of  96 to147 people have an IQ of 137 or higher.  This is according to the Wechsler and also the Standford-Binet standard deviation grades.

In re:  The Character Assassination Maneuver

Perhaps you know how it goes:  If "they" can't beat you on the issues, they resort to attacking you with character assassinations.  So, if a predictable ad hominine character assassin declares the Blue Marble Album author to be a cold & repressed oppressor who doesn't know what he's talking about ... who doesn't understand humanity ... who can't relate to people ... and who must be avoided or silenced ...  your response is ====>  

               Above:  The main subject in those two photos look like the same one blonde.  

                       They are actually two different women from different parts of America.

And this is yet an entirely different blonde.

  Even though the subject in each of these two photos can look like the same brunette, 

they are two entirely different women, from different counties and different backgrounds.

                                  Ye olde college days.

                 For familiarization purposes, how about including work experience in picture form?

For the record, Patrick has done concrete work, carpentry, heavy equipment operating, "heavy landscaping," siding & window work, and he laid a lot of pipe ... as in underground pipelines.  This included relatively large concrete pipes.  In as much, if you walk around Downtown Pittsburgh long enough, you will literally walk on his work. 

Concerning other Pittsburgh work he has done, in order to get anywhere near that work, you need to be a bird or at least someone with a long ladder.  He did a lot of government contract work, even for the Army Corps of Engineers, the Pittsburgh City Engineers, HUD, the URA, the U.S. Dept of Energy, the Pennsylvania Dept of Education, and various "Councils of Governments".   Residential work too.

    

Above:   Some of Patrick's very recent places of work.   You need to be a bird to get near this work.

The achievement in this is that, from 2004 to 2011, he predominately lead the life of an invalid, due

to a severe allergic & asthmatic condition which included upper-respiratory reactions such as erythema, splitting headaches, splitting ear-aches, etc.  He won his disability case in 2003.  His disability was declared "a non-exertional disability."  All allergic disabilities are.

It's simply that his old construction company granted him accommodations that no other company would or even could grant.  So, he is still made out of glass, and he only works half the hours he 

used to work.  But, how many people can do this type of work for even 1 hour, and not undergo a 

painful injury of some degree?  How many people can do such work for an hour and not mess things up?

Incidentally, the most common thing said during the viewing of a recently deceased asthmatic, at a funeral home, is:   "I was just talking to him last week, and he was fine."

The bottom line is that, while Patrick was in his invalid state, the only way in which he could communicate was through writing.  So, write he did.   And then, Politics became the dissemination of lies, on the mainstream media circuits.  So, in response to the mass dishonesty, Patrick had to continue to write ... hundreds of posts ... with lots of illustrations, especially newspaper articles of old.  

One of his accomplishments was that of proving that nothing which happened in the past five years, weather-wise, is new ... and that the charts and graphs of the Biden years had easily provable lies in them, making the Biden-Harris people a clan of  intelligence-insulting liars.

Patrick also did historical society work.  The oldest house he renovated was built in 1832.  The second oldest house he ever worked-on was built in 1847.   Being a Pittsburgh-based construction worker means that Patrick regularly worked on houses built in the 1890s, the turn of the 20th Century, and

the 1920s.  

He also did construction work in Chicago and the Chicago area, as well as in Meadville Pennsylvania, Somerset County, Reading PA, Greene County, and the now-infamous city of Butler, Pennsylvania.

The two "heavy equipment photos" above are literally historic.  This is because Patrick was the last heavy equipment operator to perform the final demolition on the formerly famous J&L Steel Works of Aliquippa Pennsylvania.  He removed the last remaining steel mill slab there.  When you look at those photos, you are looking at the place where J&L Steel of Aliquippa used to be.   Aliquippa was made famous by a couple NFL football stars ... and NCAA stars.

Above:  Patrick at the former company headquarters.  It was a 10,000 sq ft complex, located eighteen to twenty-two blocks away from the Univ of Pittsburgh Cathedral of Learning.

As an added note, Patrick once held four insurance licenses simultaneously.  It was technically known as one Pennsylvania insurance license with "4 powers of authority,"  This included:  1] Life & Annuities,  2] Property,  3] Casualty,  4] Accident & Health which is NOT the same as selling medical insurance which is a topic for another time.  The area to which Patrick was assigned by his insurance company was Beaver Falls, a place made famous by Super Bowl icon Joe Namath.

Posted as proof.  Posted for no other reason.

And then there's the matter of Patrick's sports background, for familiarization purposes.  

In the photo below, he's the man in the middle.

                                   Patrick again.

 Patrick also ran track.  However, his most successful sport ... in organized sports ... was baseball.  He was the lead-off hitter on a championship team which mostly consisted of the starting players of the nearby championship football team.

One of his baseball teammates of the prior season ended up in the Super Bowl and a number of Pro Bowl games.  So, Patrick did play on teams with guys who made a bit of a success of themselves in football.  But, he played baseball with most of them.  Yet, one of his football team mates did end up the starting quarterback in a Cotton Bowl game, and another one was recruited by the Air Force Academy.  Etc.

Pontillo's numerous hours of research and writing were actually years of research and writing ... and it was an unpaid public service.   Lots of work for no pay.   He was given a $100 donation once, back in 2014.  But he was never given as much as a penny after that time, and never before so, either.  It was a matter of years of work done for free, as a public service.  Even at that, the $100 was given in gratitude for him exposing the corruption of Cardinal Donald Wuerl.  That involves an entirely different website.

This translates into a writer who has no conflict of interest, as in paychecks for things written.  He NEVER got paid to write what he did.  That makes him the opposite of a propaganda puppet.
