From the Original Greedville Site

The Path to Wealth constructed using deceit and violence. 

                Americans today are up-in-arms over the revelations daily  breaking on the greedy individuals who are eating us alive through corporations and through government.  This is one such story which illustrates how easily the unethical deceive and steal from those who trusted in the integrity of our courts, government, and those who run corporations.  In the story of one corporation you see the fate shared by all Americans.

                The Saga of Greedville plays out in Santa Barbara, the smallish, upscale, resort town resting on the coast 90 miles north of teeming Los Angeles.  The town is inhabited by  people who are enormously wealthy, and like the rest of America, a shrinking middle-class, who struggle to survive as America melts down, on its way to becoming a third-world country.

                 Greedville, in real life, is Green Hills Software, Inc. Their Saga shows you how psychopaths, cooperatively, rewrote the rules for every institution on which we rely.  The Housing Bubble, the Commodity Bubble, the destruction of the middle-class, the dislocation of families through foreclosure, and more, each have revealed to Americans how their wealth was stolen by those who ignored the law and simple decency for their own profit, just like the principals of Green Hills Software, Inc. in their smaller world.

                  As you follow the story you see who won, who lost, and what happens when there is a lack of integrity because highly intelligent psychopaths are involved. 

                  At any time in a country the size of America there are 20,000 psychopaths with I.Q.s over 180.  Smart psychopaths are far more dangerous than stupid ones. 

                   At the left, front, in the header, you see Craig Franklin with a rose in his teeth.  Craig is Senior Vice-President for Green Hills Software, Inc.  Craig's fantasies only incidentally included money.

                   On the right, front, in the header, you see Dan O'Dowd, President of Green Hills Software, Inc., who needed Craig to help him achieve his own fantasy of power and success.                   

                  Psychopaths, and those useful to them, won. This includes Dan and Craig. Dan became immensely wealthy. Craig was able to feed his most lurid sexual fantasies. Their success, touted to the world, fails to tell the real story of avarice, sexual perversion, the failure of conscience which accompany these corporate events.

                  The second group lost.  Not understanding psychopathy was a pivotal factor here, as it has been across American.   This is a cautionary story for the vast majority of us who are normal, who love, trust, and want the best for others.

                   America has become a nation continually at war. Green Hills Software and its main product, a software program ironically called, "INTEGRITY," drive the weapons of war.  Green Hills Software, Inc. is a government contractor, providing sensitive encryption and weapons systems to the U. S. Military. 

                   As with Wall Street, when the rules are ignored and suborned for the profit of those without conscience, money changes hands.. Lives are destroyed. The greedy, bloated with feeding, move on for more.  It is happening everywhere we look. It happened in Santa Barbara, behind the seemingly clean doors of Green Hills Software, Inc.

The Saga of Greedville is the story of unbridled greed and what happens to people when greed rules our hearts.

Trust is an investment make in people who are worthy, having earned our  confidence. This was a value  and not a bet is something which neolithic cultures took for granted.  

Individuals who engaged in behavior which transferred value to themselves through means deemed as Not Acceptable had a tendency not to return from hunting trips.  Perhaps, if they were women, they more frequently died in child birth or where not warned about hazards.  

Today, in a world where we know each other not at all from our online experiences we need transparency so we can confront our own values and decide who is worthy of our trust.  The longer and more closely you know people the more you can trust them because you see when trust is unjustified.


Unbridled greed explains much of the 19th and 20th Centuries and every war America has fought since the Revolution.
