Controlling Interest

Controlling Interest
You know, you learn a lot from studying history, like how women celebrated each advance towards equal rights by shedding articles of clothing. They started by ditching their hoop skirts in the 1920's, as soon as they won the right to vote. Then, with the civil rights successes of the 1960's, they went really wild. Since my adolescence, I have always been strongly compelled to support their liberation.

Today, however, I have another thought on my mind. I have been trying figure out why the broadcasters hated me when I created so much music and comedy that was commercially successful on their networks and radio stations. You'd think they'd love an artist who writes such popular work, but instead, for most of the last twenty years, they have devoted themselves to my destruction at the hands of frauds. Why? I think it's because of what they may fear the most: powerlessness.

Did you ever see the Star Trek episode where the children tricked Captain Kirk into believing he was losing control of his ship? That was the Captain's greatest fear, and they seized upon it to use against him. People in powerful places fear losing control more than anything else. The broadcasters, and the corporations that support them, want to be able to dictate to the public who to love and who to reject. When the public start turning to outside choices, as they apparently did with my YouTube account in the first decade of this century, it takes away the broadcasters' control over the situation.

Beyond that, they fear the unpredictable which tends to fit poorly into a marketing formula. A man who writes hits is supposed to pursue money and stardom or he doesn't deserve his hits, as far as they're concerned. They need him to belong to their clique, or at least to want to belong. Furthermore, in my case, I came from what they considered to be the wrong town and the wrong family for the kind of phenomenal impact I was having on YouTube. Yes, they're snobs, and nothing irks them more than some common 'peasant' like myself in possession of an impressive talent.

They seem to think talent is something that can be harnessed or reaped by scientific methods, as if being an artist were merely genetic. I strongly disagree. Talent transcends the physical world. It can't be passed on through DNA, but only through reincarnation. This is why artists come from all races and walks of life, and why they always will. Go ahead and call me a flake, but I know I'm right about this. They're wasting their time trying to build an artist in their laboratories. They can sure lie to you all about my talent, but they can't take it away from me and give it to their friends the way they would like. And they'll certainly never control the non-physical process by which great talent finds its way into this world. It must be as disturbing a thought to them as it is comforting to me.

You Call That Fraud?

You Call That Fraud? Nov 15/2020: Just one more little note to say that I saw a science video that very effectively debunked the technical claims of 911 conspiracy theorists with regard to fires and controlled demolitions. There are still a lot of unanswered questions for me about that day but I am starting to find myself more agreeable to other explanations outside of conspiracy theories. I'm reasonable that way.[End of Insertion.] There has been a lot of talk about fraud these days and I have had a long personal experience with fraud. I have been complaining about the entertainment fraud that was committed on a vast scale against my blogs over the last twenty years or so online. I have evidence of the fraud that was committed against me but it is too late to have anything done about it now. I was unable to secure legal help at the critical time because I lacked money. My evidence of the fraud committed against me is this Blogger account. The links below these pa...

Special Delivery

Special Delivery I have been following the war, mostly on DW News. Again, I stand firmly with Ukraine. I hope the Ukrainians can stop Putin in his tank tracks, not just for their own sake, but because Poland may be next otherwise. Poland is a NATO country, which would drag my country of Canada into the war, and I don't want to be in a war. Who would want that? We need to avoid that until the last possible moment. But, for what it's worth, I have given some thought to how we might slip those replacement Migs across the Poland-Ukraine border. I suggest we disassemble them and disguise the parts as cleaning equipment, perhaps industrial vacuum cleaners or something. Yes, I'm sure Kyiv could use a good vacuuming after all those artillery shells. I'll tell you something else, my gasoline consumption is zero. Putin never got a cent out of me, because I can walk to work in ten minutes. I don't mean to joke around too much through such sad and serious time...

Poetry Can Hurt

Poetry Can Hurt I've just heard about the Dr Seuss ban and it doesn't upset me at all. I don't read Dr Seuss anymore. As for racially insensitive imagery, if it upsets visible minorities, I give them the benefit of the doubt on it. I'm white, so my eye misses those kinds of details in children's books. But you can tell he ranked the 'whos' above other races. Remember that scene in the Grinch that Stole Christmas where they're all singing 'Gottes Sohn Ist Kommen' and one of the grown-ups picks up little Cindy Loo Who so she can adorn the portrait of the fuehrer with her wreath? Sorry, I know I shouldn't be joking around about it too much. Poetry ought not to hurt anyone. Oh, by the way, there were an awful lot of rhyming verses being broadcast to millions of people from 2007 to 2011, or so, that brought terrible harm to someone. That someone was me, their author. What kind of monstrous illusion is created by putting sweet stolen...
