what they will believe in one age
will change with the next
the flesh is ever filled with another
the writer all cynical and lost finds the truth
stares into it's cold dead eyes
they offer no cogent reason
to leave the dance of the drunken moment
and follow them
into their misery
still he knows
he will not be a defeated father
does not walk away
and leave truth
orphaned from mind
dyng ignoble
on the farside of the universes
he knows his
greif will be unblunted
even by the glory of resurrections
this time he is no socrates
slipping away smiling
content he has lived his rules
and will fight another day
no
this time he IS A GLADIATOR
STANDING
UNVANQuishable
in the arena
LIONS AT HIS SIDE
he raises his sword to the people in SALUTE
takes his bow and heads off to a party with his buds
Any fool can think. The real trick is to unthink. TRUST NO ONE WHO HAS MORE ANSWERS THAN QUESTIONS...we are trapped in a forest of lies... and time has come to burn it down!!! Only takes one well placed torch...

Gonzo journalism and fiction is a tricky mix.... Welcome to my razor's edge.
HELLO THERE...
I am an elf in the attic making mind toys with sharp edges; an educated writer who gets good reviews, who you can read for free in the rough form of first drafts on the web, or purchase in a book form.
The best soldier does not attack. The superior fighter succeeds without violence. The greatest conqueror wins without struggle. The most successful manager leads without dictating. This is intelligent non aggressiveness. This is called the mastery of men.

Welcome to you, I am John Scott Ridgway, Novelist, Poet, Blogger, Radio and TV writer and actor... five books, also paint in oils and acrylics. I am poet warrior of sorts, a non violent radical, personally, though understanding of those who choose other paths IN THE EIGHTY PLUS COUNTRIES AT LAST COUNT THAT came in this blog ...
The predicted revolutions in the USA and around the would are going to
be violent in the next twenty years, is what the CIA says. I want them to stay peaceful, which is the only way to win this struggle between haves and have nots. They have more guns, we have more people,, and they include the mothers and sisters and brothers of the people they will ask to fight us.... I think they underestimate the police.
NEVER ACCEPT APPEASEMENT OVER JUSTICE. By any means necessary is the reality. . . the USA can be spared stupid wars, but other countries. . . need different solutions. . .
The number of Countries that have come in to have a look at this blog humbles me. Thank you very much.
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE HOW MUCH I DESPISE VIOLENCE
EXCEPT UNDER EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES BY
PROFESSIONALS, HOPEFULLY, like the police, military, etc...
understanding that violence is sometimes needed
does not mean I like anything about the sound
of fists hitting faces
Boxing is too much for me
make me feel like I am watching
dog fights with toothless pitbulls
"I am an artist first, and a politician second," as John Lennon said.
My intentions are to stop the violence from entering into
revolutionary wars
the CIA
predicts
will break out in the next twenty years all over the
world, including here...
But Ill tell ya,
if there is not some redistribution of
wealth here there and everywhere
WE WILL WITNESS THE HORROR
THE HORROR
OF WAR ON all OUR SHORES
My intentions is to keep these protests peaceful
so we can win
without bloodshed
Total War for Total Peace
Never incites violence
or destroys property
you should be able
to go to protests with strollers and babies
parents feeling as safe as the police
Now, poetry...
I am too far out into the battlefield to retreat. This CHARGE is win or die...
PROPHECIES OF ECSTASIES AND HORRORS
be aware
be very aware
total war
for total peace
is being fought
HERE
THERE will be many ways to die
and only one to live
give and give and give
until the worlds downtrodden and oppressed
can begin to forgive
before things get bloody and ruthless
My Peace sign shot full of holes
and my reason ignored
drowned out by the roar of machine guns
You cannot break the golden rule
all the time and not expect
consequences from nature
mankind
we will fight for our right to thrive as well
we do not accept your sentence
to poverty so you can earn more
by shipping the factory off to China
WE ACCEPT NO CHAINS...
BREAK THOSE WE HAVE
COME RUNNING FOR OUR OPPRESSORS
WHO THE HELL WOULDN'T???
nothing this mindgame in america can do to us
can destroy this thing inside that yearns for freedom
enough to die in the name of JUSTICE
generation after generation
from time
immemorial
can destroy this thing inside that yearns for freedom
enough to die in the name of JUSTICE

No more hyper-reality FOR US. We have already spent too long in an oasis of belief where nothing is wrong, folks... Now, we must face this was all a mirage... and try like hell to get out of this desert... or resolve ourself to the fact that we will leave our children to starve in the barren sands.
There are better ways to defeat an enemy than an outright fight, especially if you are vastly outnumbered, like the Elite. MSM PSY-WAR allows them to control our actions through our thoughts, and basically stop our FORCE from activating. I am not saying we should fight just because we can win, I am just saying we should fight before we lose, if no other option is left us.... because a world is at stake.
They SET UP LAWS THAT ALLOW THEM TO STEAL. MURDER. BRAINWASH THEIR CRITICS. We must begin to feel challenged now to stop them. Or WE WILL LOSE EVERYTHING. PERIOD. THE SKY, OTHER SPECIES, OUR WATER... OUR MINDS. No more hyper-reality for us... too long in that oasis where nothing is wrong folks... we must face this is all a mirage.
A cruel slap woke me to the PAIN
at the moment of birth;
My first cry was NO
buried in unintelligible screams.
I am a man now.
Now I catch your hand and break all the fingers.

You must be whoever the enemy fears the least
or fears the most.
No other position is safe
or fears the most.
No other position is safe

Welcome to the spark that inflames TOTAL WAR FOR TOTAL PEACE.
I am too far out into the battlefield to retreat. This CHARGE is win or die...
THE ELVES ATTIC is stories, poetry, essay's, peculiar events in my life . . . oil painting, articles.
Your patience for bearing with me on my first drafts is a much appreciated kindness. Your worldwide interest is my muse . . .Lately I have been writing a book called Gangsta General x, about a revolutionary in the USA, who is fighting to keep the revolt peaceful as things spin out of control in the states after a famine gets the populace hungry enough to change their society once and for all....
HOW TO USE THIS BLOG: There is a black and white jukebox in the right column that you can shut off, or find songs on.... To listen to the COMEDY SKITS FROM THE SHOW PEACE AND PIPEDREAMS... turn off the black jukebox, and turn on the Green one. I play Moon Bong Haze and Jesus...
I have five majors, five books, two tv shows, a radio show, 76 countries at last count on this site alone, and over a million online readers to my credit. I can't thank any of you enough for all of your help and encouragement over the years; the favors and aide that has been offered me, the trust in my leadership... you are all SACRED TO ME ... even you folks I tend to hate.
TOTAL WAR FOR TOTAL PEACE -- Thank you especially. Your sacrifices live on. I salute you... and SWEAR ON THE GODS OF MY FATHERS THAT WE WILL TRIUMPH AND YOUR DEATHS WILL BE PAID FOR IN BLOOD AND TREASURE.
Thank you.

human = enemy
HUMAN = DECIEVER
HUMAN = IGNOBLE PREDATOR
HUMAN = OVER-POPULATION
HUMAN = ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTERS
HUMAN = DESTROYER OF SPECIES
HUMAN = RAPE
HUMAN = MURDER
HUMAN = LOVE
my thinking is now isolated
from everyone on the planet
one against billions and billions
protect my intellectual boundaries with barbed wire
attack storms fire & lightening
No One tells me how to think
-- so many have been wrong
who gave me counsel
liars and thieves and politico's
The greatest minds of the past could not know the Now
No one has seen what is in my mind
this vision of the face of god
When I first emerged into your psyche
my love became pure grace
love without judgments
all countries as one planet
equal goodwill for russia and china and america
I tried to do what I thought was right for this world
followed the NEW INSPIRATION
given to me by the VISITOR that day on the beach
as my intellectual walls dissolved
back into a pure and innocent simpleton
who seemed to know more than me
Yes, I am HERE NOW
A voice erupted from one surprised man
A screaming visage filled me
demanded to be heard by the entire world
surprise surprise surprise
the world took note
Crowds filled the city
waited for me to leave my cave and take my throne
I knew they would sooner or later turn against me:
Revelations are always written in blood
an ancient voice rose up thru my flesh
began to spin a tale of coming to earth on light
to preach of the forgotten truths
a pathfinder sent out to lead his people home
thru universes and dimensions and unknowable
twists in the Over Reality
--- in which we are but a speck of dust
in the face of the sun
I wondered why the world cared
even as inside of me I knew but it seems so fucking crazy
I ignored the clues in my past
to the biggest mystery
the mystery that is now like watching
a movie filled with hints
that only make sense during the climax
& then seem so obvious

new years entry
This is the big one... you ready? We are going to take over the world this year. I expect to be king... though knowing you humans, you will probably fuck that up, too.
I have written about a fifty page statement about my philosophy, and setting straight the world on a lot of what I believe in. No one has the right to speak for me ever again.
I mean this. Some people knew what I was doing, like John Stewart and Colbert, but the rest of the world, and especially those who expect me to play in their idea of what the return of god is about, are going to be surprised.
I am going to need a long time to forgive everyone for what they have done to me. I have been fucked with in a way that quiet possibly is unique in the history of time... and then again, is exactly like what everyone else goes thru.... I explain the events of this winter in the upcoming essay... I am putting Waking Up Jesus, my new book, here... and yes, this is part of it... in a way. I do not know how I will edit all of this down, but for right now I think that the story is going to be poetry ensconsed in first and second person prose, and essay's...
I am not trying to destroy the world. I do not think that my ethics need to be shoved down anyones throat. This has happened enough.
Give the power to the women... the minorities... and the kids.
M. and I have somehow weathered the last year... Either she is a great little intelligence agent, or a woman of infinite patience (I believe in the later,but the former...). Oh, well.
I hope to be out of my prison here in chicago soon.
Look for an article on my show Peace and Pipedreams in High Times, and you can listen to me on Norml's show; go to their radio show at their station... though it is easier just to go to mine... you can find that at fearlessradio.com It is just a bunch of kidding around about drugs and the military and shit... but underneath, there is a very radical notion that everyone deserves respect, and their own way of doing things...
I am being rude now by writing this... Just KNOW, I will be on the air on New Years Day and hope some of you can call or im me at the show.

THE SLEEP
I do not miss being asleep
embedded in my fictional life
my head severed
bought and sold
passed around
the spaceman come to life
the wizard walking in the light of day
a specter who steps out of your bibles and declares
I Am
I imploded
my memories shifted
into a mish-mash of conspiracies
who would do this to another human being
I wondered?
HOW CAN PEOPLE I ONCE RESPECTED
GO ALONG WITH MY JAILERS?
My once friends seem more sinister now
my enemies almost demonic
still I prefer to be alive and knowing
and I will not leave YOU
embedded in my fictional life
my head severed
bought and sold
passed around
the spaceman come to life
the wizard walking in the light of day
a specter who steps out of your bibles and declares
I Am
I imploded
my memories shifted
into a mish-mash of conspiracies
