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.

Cast Out

Under Unholy Skies

alone with a thought that is a ball and chain
a cell.  A torturer.  A lover.  The source of all pain and pleasure... at times
the internal love of our own self-esteem;  the judge in our heads that tells us
our life is meaningful or absurd
worthless or infused with enough myth
to have a Hallmark Card in our head for any occasion
cheer us up
forget our woes

Hidden away in places that look like sheer madness from outside looking in
we decipher our strange truths -- we stare into the face of monsters with a maddened  hearts
every ounce of our being wanting only to run...
get away...
wake up and find this is  only a fleeting dream

in despair we take shelter in a spiritual world
ask our Gods to make us feel better/make our lives better
or just come thru with an eternity of virgins and angels
Mr. Bean has one leg and sits on the corner outside of Mr. Kim's store
He has a cup out, says hello to people... doesn't ask
but he is there everyday and the neighbors all know him
toss in their change, because they know the home he lives in
leaves the patients hungry... and the system leaves them broke

takes all their social security
and leaves them 30 bucks a month
imprisoned with guards who don't want to change the adult diapers
among the sickest and closest to death
ambulances come from there day and night
the Reaper takes a lot of people out of that innocent looking brick building
I see the states faults in such places
how we care for the young and the elderly and the sick
shows how sick we have become
how much of a merciless microcosm Satan has seduced you into being?

get so sick of sick of sick of  sickened just plain out sickened
again and again as the Truth is battered by lies all around me
X-Ray vision it ain't...  careful observation and the time to research
after many years of writing academic papers that had to go well beyond journalism

How we all wish we had a hypnotic wand to wave
and make all around us own up to the truth?
What would be your truth?   I wonder at myself
Do I have one?

I know that you have to leave the herd
That is only way to avoid being led to slaughter

seething silence

seething silence



Fuck or fight world...
ain't worthy of the one
gonna get the other
predators everywhere 
sometimes all they have to kill is the sunshine in the room

bad breath
bad stenches
bad taste
bad ideas
and then the really bad shit
 that you pray you will only read about in the newspaper
the monsters who seem down right polite in horror movies
     and are nothing like that all in real life
just masochists
playing your pain


I have been raised among a people who should have long ago rebelled
among good hearts whose love of peace has been used and abused

watched the end of all I love
happen quicker than my mind can hold
denial snaps in
 when I think of
extinctions
can't watch no more nature shows...
and hear that voice drone on at the end about the perils to the creatures


how we go on at all is the amazing part
how we bury ourselves in our mole holes of the everyday
and make our way

I want to love and forgive and that is it
everything else draws a lot of dark energy into my life
brings out the fight in everyone around me
leads to open war



the screaming savage dances with swirling knives
pleased to end see his enemies end in bloody  justice



sick of the cycles of revenge
sick of the need to take to get by
just plain old fucking sick of it


sickened by all you love
beholden
to all you hate

have a taste of this apple....

brace yourself
the floor is about to fall out
the ceiling fly away
the walls collapse and crumble
