I am an invisible man. No, I am not a spook like those who haunted Edgar Allen Poe; nor am I one of your Hollywood-movie ectoplasms. I am a man of substance, of flesh and bone, fibre and liquids, and I might even be said to possess a mind. I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me. When they approach me they see only my surroundings, themselves, or figments of their imagination, indeed, everything and anything except me.

-Ellison, Ralph Waldo

Invisible Man, prologue.

The vital accessories to my work are my reference books, such as the complete Shakespeare and a prayer book, and a large refuse bin.

Refuse to pay

If my situation proves one thing at all it's that they do not care about my life, THEREFORE... If they refuse to pay... MURDER THEM. Murder their kids. Murder their wives. They would sit their and let me do it to YOUR kids and they are probably betting on it right now. It am going to be the last person they ever steal from ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. And if anyone takes a security contract to protect the KILL THEM TOO. EVEN IF I'M DEAD. Even if they get me FIRST. Kill them. And then ask THE NEXT CEO if HE (or she) wants to pay. Make them pay the actual money and bury it with me.

Hym "If they refuse to pay, murder them. Murder them. Murder their families. They are perfectly fine with ME murdering YOUR family aren't they? Right? I said I would kill kids if they stole it and they stole it. So, murder them. Murder anyone who tries to defend them. And then ask the next CEO whether or not THEY want to pay. Murder their company out of existence from the top down, one CEO at a time."

Refuse illegal orders... Unless you don't feel like it

"YOU HAVE TO PROTECT US! It doesn't matter how many people we let die or pay to do a genocide! You have to protect US! Ignore the fact that we are doing a very public mind-rape surveillance thing to this guy that has been putting your kids lives at risk! If he tell you to being us to him you have to protect US!" ~ Every politician

Hym "Refuse illegal orders... Unless you don't feel like it. Like maybe your family members plane just randomly fell out of the sky and you want revenge... Then... Do whatever you want 🤷 ♂️ I mean I am not the boss of you."
