A blood soaked Arthur IS RISING

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


A blood soaked Arthur has risen



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










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.

  • You are a spark in dry timber, stopped from becoming a roaring flame
    only by -- YOUR OWN DISBELIEF IN YOUR POWER TO IGNITE...
    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.
    • OUR LACK OF RESOLVE TO CHANGE OUR WORLD MUST PUZZLE THE GODS THEMSELVES.... how can we be this collectively dum? And if we are....then the brains will be looked to as potential saviors.... when all too often they are just psocyo-paths and stooges and scared folks under the gun who are ALLOWED to CON EVERYONE... FOR THE GOOD OF A




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 saf

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.

the truth

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

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

one of my very sorry little attempts to show my oil paintings, pets, girl...
