家系図

My paternal grandfather, Harold, knew the world. He traveled. A lot.

On 16 June 1921 he graduated from Kalamazoo College, where he won the William G. Howard Memorial Prize and debate prizes. On 05 June 1918, while residing in Kalamazoo, he registered for the draft. No record of him in the military. It took him six years to complete his A.B. Hm.

Mabelle Fay Cowgill, born 25 November 1899 in Three Rivers, St. Joseph, Michigan, United States, died in July 1992 in Green Valley, Pima, Arizona, United States. Mabelle was granpa's childhood sweetheart. His parents forbid him to marry her, at least that was the family folklore my father spewed forth. Miss Cowgill first married on 05 May 1920 in Indianapolis, Marion, Indiana, United States to Joseph M. Chamberlain, born 17 January 1893 in Pendleton, Madison, Indiana, United States, died on 17 July 1956 in Beloit, Rock, Wisconsin, United States.

For about a decade, I've suspected that Missus Chamberlain is Mr. Steven Paul Jobs's biological mother. I hypothesise that Mrs. Chamberlain gave birth to Mr. Jobs in Wisconsin. The JBFN spirited him off to the land of San Francisco, long before anyone knew what a SillyCon was. There the folklore was spun to whatever advantaged the oligarchs, including my Mr. Jobs, The Name Game (oBook Chapter 3 Section 2), The Game (oBook boilerplate Reason: Zero Definition), et. al. found advantageous. Where the truth starts, fiction ends.

Where my truth starts, does fiction end? This scares me to no end. We are at least a decade too far gone to deceive ourselves. Nonethless, to what advantage do they deceive me?

Mr. Jobs purportedly had a daughter. Her mother, Mr. Jobs and another man were living in a SillyCon Valley home. Uncle Steve vehmently disputed the veracity of a paternity test that, to the uneducated person, left little doubt that he was the father. If you have as much riding on outcomes as the members of the JBFN, a faked paternity test is a walk in the park. Not that I mean to make excuses for Mr. Jobs. I was not there to see him park in handicapped spaces at the mall, etc. Again, my place is not to judge. Nonetheless, observation often requires judgement and, if one looks critically and analytically at the facts surrounding Mr. Jobs's career and personal life, too many peculiarities appear.

For instance, in Uncle Steve's official biography, CEO John Sculley III is warned by an Apple employee who had seen Jobs's loyalty issues play out before with poor results. Mr. Sculley is warned that Jobs is making Sculley into a father figure. Lo and behold, not long after, Sculley and Jobs go to a restaurant where Jobs's putative biological father, discovered by Sculley, is working. Hm. Nothing suspicious there?

Harold, Uncle Steve's father, had a system, I suspect. Harold was adept at discreet international fund transfers. His career began as a Trust Officer in a bank, then on the Board of the bank and then on the Board as Secretary of The Upjohn Company. My cousin Martha Joy Upjohn nee Means tells me Harold was well known for taking a suitcase full of pharmaceuticals to foreign countries. While there, he would leave the pharmaceuticals as a sort of introduction. She tells me there is an Allen Clinic in Africa named after our grandfather. At the same time, he would financially and physically seed companies in the nations he visited, just as he and the JBFN financially and physically seeded Apple.

Again, this is pure speculation based on a lifetime of research, hunches, hints and speculation that has yet to be disproved, or even disputed to my face. For example, early in the 1950s, Harold might go to Saudi Arabia. While there, he might meet with a sheikh. The shiekh and he would talk business, investments, pharmaceuticals, etc. Harold would leave his suitcase full of pharmaceuticals with the sheikh. Harold would retire to a guest bedroom with one of the shiekh's wives. A child, if any, born to the wife would be raised as the shiekhs own.

For more than a decade, I have verbally suggested to people that there are about 100 to 150 of these half aunts and uncles of mine roaming the globe, operating companies, sitting on Boards of companies. Apple is just one of many companies. Mr. Jobs is simply the only one whom I know of by name.

ARAMCO is short for Arabian American Oil Company, a company with a market capitalisaton second only to Apple. Playing The Name Game, ARAMCO might be a initialisation, meaningless. Alternatively, ARAMCO is an acronym, i.e. 'a ram company', someone who rams things through, like Margaret Thatcher. A person who gets things done. Another initialisation/acronym might be UPS, United Parcel Service. The initialisation U-P-S or the acronym, ups, as in upwards, i.e. 上野動物園 and the Aerospace Project (see oBook).
