the elves attic: PEACE AND PIPEDREAMS MOVIE SCRIPT IN THE WORK... STARRING THE HAZE FAMILY

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.

the promise

You must be whoever the enemy fears the least
or fears the most.

No other position is safe

da general

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.

PEACE AND PIPEDREAMS MOVIE SCRIPT IN THE WORK... STARRING THE HAZE FAMILY

Our Long Lost Stoner Family Is Coming Back Not Only To The Radio on THE ELVES ATTIC ... we also have big news for the thousands of Peace and Pipedreams fans -- we are working on a project to bring them even more to life.

Stay tuned.... for more news, all you good folk who lit a bong up with us during the opening song of our shows, when we played our own bubbling away... REMEMBER, like the one quote Moon Bong knows (has it tattooed on his inner forearm, during a prison stint... though he often forgets where it is and ends up naked looking for the quote to throw out to somebody... why he learned it is anybody's guess. This is a guy who uses a brick to drive... and let's it steer from the gas peddle). The man quoted is worthy of endless esteem and the Godfather of the show, Hunter S. Thompson. Here is what it reads in black prison ink, on his skinny pale arm -- minus various miss-pellings: "Weed is like cigarettes. You smoke it all day, every day." Not that I am ever going to cop to that... but here is the news.
s
Jimmy Peace and I have decided to start working on a script for The Haze Family, from the Peace and Pipedreams show. The stuff he sent me was funnier than hell, to me. He cracks me up. We make each other laugh a lot, which is a good combination... and of course, we will go ANYWHERE with our comedy.

There is a lot to mine from our Old Show, and we talked about this a bit before... I have written a few scripts before, but never a movie from one of my own books. Other people's books... Interview With The Vampire (one of those eight scripts Ann Rice had other people write, read and rejected and then used liberally in her own draft . . . or her people did this; I love her books and would hate to get on her bad side... so let me add I could have heard this from a liar, okay? Always bothers me when I piss off my idols... pissing off steven martin and tina fey and tommy smothers enough that they attacked my ideas on a live awards show almost gave me a heart attack, oh well... all in good fun I hope, but I am just unused to it, being this obscure dude in Chicago).

So... I am getting in that MoonBong Haze frame of mind, and will begin writing a bunch of stories about them in here that we may or may not develop into scenes. Remember, putting anything on this blog copywrites it, and while I do not care if people use my poetry for whatever, the ideas that flow in this narrative are for a project of mine, not yours... So, please, use your own head to come up with your own comedy -- you'll be happier in the end. By the way, I am flattered when people use my jokes... stealing something I give away for free is hardly theft. If I was all about the bucks, you think I would be writing a blog? I went to school for a lot of years to learn to write. Most folks with my education are so worried about making a living in their work that controversy is the last thing they need (unless they are the type who use that); the write articles, edit, teach, novel out, whatever... I am all about the actual use of words, how they shape consciousness, and how I can positively contribute to that (yea... and writing about stuff that pisses me off... don't mean to come off as high minded, but this really is in the foundation of my personal literary theories, which are informed by Wittgenstinian studies and others, as well as the usual boof stuff that comes with being an artist).

So, here is to the movie script... Thank You For Showing interest, Hollywood... look forward to seeing you soon.
