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.

the promise


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 Last Traces....


of human kind floated on a great city-ships
out into the dead and dying oceans
their great wealth buying them a few more years
what they hope is enough time
to build some space vessels and take off for other planets

the chosen few we all want to be
the one who gets an in with God 
hits the lotto and praises that feeling of being CHOSEN
until you blow it all and fall down further than you ever would have
saw the documentary--damnedest things
I never buy lotto tickets;  
money better spent on something I know works, 
like weed




the young starlet says God made it so
grew old and cursed the creature in the sky that would turn her haggard and weak and sick

blaming or praising GOD depending on the luck of the cards
rabbits feet and crosses and lucky numbers and newspaper horoscopes 
and the tales the gypsy psychic tells and the finest presidential speech

I think of the fanatic few who would compile the list of who gets to live
say Oil Rain boiling up out of the oceans kills the North American Continent
a meteor  is coming at that will take half of Russia

There are lists of who goes where to be saved in the event of a nuclear war
Chicagoans are advised to drive to Kentucky, the mountains...
traffic is expected to make such an escape functionally impossible
a chosen few will get helicopters out
the rest will probably never even be told what is coming 
there will be no way to maintain order if the dedision is being made
to leave most of us for dead

Who would stand for it?
Not me...  


some mad few would feel responsible for preserving the species
a few hold outs at tom cruises 5 million dollar bunker and other places less mapped
known, or silly....  serious places hidden under cloaks of national security
secured places for presidents, generals, the basics to keep a government running
some kind of civilian control over the military

CROSSING THE RUBICON
IS WHAT HAPPENS when the soldiers decide to step in
when they say enough is enough we need to correct something here
occasionally they have been good men who set power aside after the war
occasionally they've become the most brutal monsters ever to take human form

a buddy and I have been discussing for a month or so
whenever we get together
the population and exponential growth
the old adage of the wise man who asks for just one grain of rice doubled daily
and takes the kings fortunes in a few months...  
or more likely took what he could and leave with his head 

I hear of a lecture well received in academic circles about releasing ebola
as the end game
in population control
sat by the beach under a tree feeling a lake breeze and lucky to be in such beauty 
with a dog in a park filled with friendly people at peace 
thinking I would never choose to be among the chosen

I don't want to be on the list of who gets to live after the viruses are released
won't work as a camp guard if someone decides the best way is camps
won't hide underground until the poesin passes and come out and pretend we did the right thing
God or not there are some sins that no means can justify the end of...
some places the very soul should not go

I urge the masses in my stupid ass preaching in the alley
to avoid being noticed kind of way
Socrates constantly questing 
unwilling this time to take the Hemlock and slip out silently
taking solace he has lived up to his laws
no 
this time this Socrates arrived prepared for a fight
for the return of all he once died to preserve

how desperate will we get when it comes down to pure us or them?
US OR THEM FOR THE RESOURCES OF THE PLANET JUST TO SURVIVE
NOT TO MAKE A FEW MORE BUCKS
and God knows what we do to each other for a few bucks..

a higher standard of living
what will we do if it comes down to how to feed ourselves?

won't take no ticket on a space ship
go out on the ocean to avoid the death of the continent
won't flee into a mountain shelter and live out a few more years
as the species die out around me
won't camp out in that cemetery 
and try to pretend that some God has chosen me to be a brutal, murdering beast

I will be like my ancestors and die with my soldiers
fighting for the survival of a few ideals at first
then  the lives of a few people I love
one fucking stray cat would be enough to live on and fight for

yea' I'll captain this little ship over the waves or into Davy Jones Locker 
Proud to have Painted My Own Flag
