Transcendia comes from a touchstone vision, but forget about that. When the leader being forced out has to get out he ought to just go to the airport, and declare himself in need of protection and travel arrangements may be made by the Transcendian offices to take up the sort of function Andre` Lewin listed in UN Reinvention Points, like as what they did with Napoleon when they put him on Elba, that island.
Andre` didn’t want to see the airports as islands everywhere capable of fulfilling that function.
The idea is not to corner rats.
Transcendian offices will have to take up details that are distasteful sometimes to justify the existence of the state.
We must work to minimize war, which means dealing with it.

Shoulds for Tony Soprano
What ought to have happened with Tony Soprano and Doctor of Dreams Dr. Malfee, is that she advises Tony to divorce Carmella for being too much like his mother, and they marry. Dr. Malfee is advised by Dr. Bragdonovich in this pointing out that Dr. Malfee needs a strong man like Tony to be happy.
We know that many a marriage is made stupid and painful and joyless to be around and watch by the edict to change. Women marry a man and then go on a campaign to change him which he didn’t understand as part of he marriage vows. The rest of the vows as they are are hard enough what with the woman becoming essentially God, what with no other one and all that, but then be someone else is too much.
The show is about his, Tony’s love and passion for Dr. Malfee, which mirrors in her a love and passion that is for both adolescent, but then wrung out into adult by a deal wherein all it is is that Tony obey the law.
Finally they move to Washington State and deal pot for mental and physical health out of her offices, till it becomes legal.
Happiness? Adult growth? , Love, Change in Society? All of it.
Well you see how Carmella is the same as Livia real;y using Tony and her hatred of him to always get what she wants.
She primes Tony to cut to breath of life off when Chris wrecks the car by pointing out to him how in the movie the position of the Boss is disposed and murdered.
Certainly we know how hopeless it is for Chis to be in the movie business early one shut out by a Wasp Gatekeeper Episcopalian Red Head used to stealing and lying so much he feels the world deserves to give her every passing fancy, and then some.
In the alternate universe like Superman’s Bizzaro land of rock made creatures, Chris and the rest of them all would become Episcopalians, Quakers even, distanced from killing and blood.
In the other TV: Mad Men, what ought there to be? It is a stomach churning bit of rat shit. Now I’m supposed to listen to the voice of John Hamm, and Rodger, Roger? What’s his real name? I know it is John Hamm doing a voice over because on Mad Men he is Don.
I didn’t wan to watch Mad Men because I had worked in New York City making Music Videos and Commercials, and low budget independent features.
I learned lighting because I ran Chelsea Film and Video, the film truck that Bob Lecterman put together. It was a hell of a truck. Like a couple of jobs I wish I could have stayed with it.
People looked down on me because I was a writer too.
I acted too.
The would sneer at me as a “frustrated writer”. I’d been fucked over enough to understand Mario Puzo’s brilliant book about the writing life: FOOLS DIE.
And I’m tough enough to take a lot of insults.
I grew up being under attack from the time I was in the second grade. From 6 and 7 on that time from when we, my family arrived in Elon College North Carolina of the USA and I started 2nd Grade, it was attack after attack and fight after fight.
I described it some in the earlier column these regular TV shows are reminding me of. I am sad that there are some people I didn’t get a chance to defend and help more on outside of my family. I don’t even know who the Black kids of Elon College were.
So
Blue stand out iridescent blouses on two women in the bar booth in and out with me while I’m looking at contrasts and dark wood in some present past of no need to be in business. Just drink.
Again and again I have explained all of it as my vision I need to share with you and we need to work to make happen because we are threatened now in our lives, and our children in the upcoming one, and what really are we here to do anyway?
So I got a knife to help me think about it. I’m all the way back to making sure I have the one thing that keeps a man alive, which is a sharp thing.
Banging the knife grip on the back of a rock to spark fluff was in the commercial last night. Guy is old and out of matches. Lost his lighter. What the hell rock was that by the road at the beach like the Robert Mitchum movie with the Nun at the island.
But now you need papers. So you need a passport and you need a Transcendian Citizenship Package so you are part of a Traveling Club Nation as soon as you are born, and or as soon as you can think, and whenever you went traveling on your own far from home.
You ought to go fast by airplane and good boat. You ought to be a pilot too.
The rich have club rooms at the airport where you can go and hang out and wait in comfort. Transcendians have to have a good nice office with a window looking out that looks like a mirror and every Embassy service and beyond.
Forget about the third eye stuff I wrote like years ago. You want to know the pilots, and they want to know you.
You two are going to have the same passport wherever you go traveling, traveling or not really. It is about you and all of it.
It used to be an art project, and it still is an art project, but it is a replacement nation because know it by now the United States went off the rails back in Nixon times. What I knew then was bad enough, but now there is more out. Nixon got away with keeping the war in Viet Nam going with backroom offers that were not even lived up to and kept the killing going and going 28 thousand more Americans.
I was working out why to make a better nation then. I’ve been going over the how of it over and over and over since then.
Go to the Wiki and download and print out the passport from the Transcendian wiki Garth made for us.
I really must want to go to the bar and hang out. There were two girls like there are girls who are friends and you re a participant coming and going and not really mattering like how you don’t really matter to Earth. Mother Earth is Father Earth too.
Out on the street I was asking the detective on the street if the guy hinching around was going to get away with it.
“Yeah.”
Back in the bar, nobody cared anymore, it was a forgotten thing. I can’t remember it either now. The girls were wearing similar shirts.
Combat Fatigue
I was like most children in that the world was an out there place till I was put in the Kindergarden. First off Kindergarden was an uncomfortable place. My first delivery there could not have been better directed for the rain was coming down in a thick torrent with thunder and lightening.
The nicest thing I had was my mountain goat colored nap rug. There you go kid! Sleep on the floor. Have a cookie!
Where I was a kid what we did for fu, or to pass the time was just throw rocks at each other, or push each other off a cliff that was conveniently there at the end of the street. A balsa wood airplane launched from up there went far out into the block, where if your friends got it, there was another flight, and if you enemies got it, it was laughingly crushed.
First Grade was a hell of noise and theft and if there was anything taught or learned it was stay out of the path of a wandering Nun, or they would step on you and then hit you with a ruler for being in the way.
When I arrived with two younger sisters and a brother in Elon College the attacks continued and intensified. One kid knelt behind, and the other pushed from the front. The whole time I lived in Elon College North Carolina someone was always sneaking up from behind looking to hit me in the balls. They did that.
It was because I was a Yankee, having been born in White Plains New York.
My father taught Speech and English and had been a combat soldier across France and Germany in the last year of the war in Europe.
He drank a lot, yelled at my mother, hit her during one big fight we all listened to, and was gay. Or anyway he had a boyfriend. Bob was his main guy. They must have met at some bar. Bob worked at some place like General Electric, making typewriters or something. Who knows what happened to the poor guy for they were together for as long as I remember in North Carolina till my Dad, sick an divorced moved to Florida and died.
Dad had another boyfriend named Pete by then. War service was a big thing and they had fought in the same theater.
For long Dad had stopped drinking. He became more and more gay as time had gone on. He was an intelligent man, and good looking, but I don’t know what or when he was much happy.
I can pick out a safe booth in a bar and drink alone to music and watch people. I want to go back to Manhattan and sit at the bar in Grand Central and drink and look down on the scurry.
I studied and performed as a stand-up comic to improve my humor, though really who knows what keeps you feeling humorous?
There are some songs by The Band that capture the jist of things. “Life is a carnival, two bits a shot.” Stage Fright, the song about Stage fright is a good one. Performing live on stage will make you throw up beforewards, and talk and drink too much afterwards. The qualifier is whether you are an extrovert of an introvert or not.
But the other thing is that I myself never felt very safe. A psychologist recently told me it seemed like i might have caught combat fatigue from my father.
You know the common man who was invested in the United States and fought for it in World War II got a lot in return for that work if he survived.
If he survived he was put up in barracks, bought books and sent to whatever college he had good enough grades to get into.
There was peace until the Korean War.
THE REVOLUTIONARY & DUST
In my novel The Revolutionary, the escapees three attempt to rob a little mini mart sort of store soon on their way prompting Weldon to flee them incredulous at their stupidity. They, the couple of anarchists so in love, and committed to the cause, plus feeling betrayed because Weldon is trying actually to escape, not continue a rampage at that point, try to kill him.
He keeps running to read and hear later they are killed in a shoot out.
Makes me feel good to have captured typical reality.
I do want people to buy my book. i picked it from my archives to publish because it is timely, Damnit.
I got the knife and it pleases me because I got it from scheming in my brain and speech to trade.
What To Make With Your Blade: a primer on survival at the edge. Cave man life. Life in the ancient forest. What stands between you and starvation, when all you have is a knife. How to make a bow and arrow from trees vines.
Why you need a spear. I don’t think these are sentences, but are just titles inspired by my knife, the BenchMade Nimravus Tanto.
The name of my knife makes it sound like it is a disease.
Now I need a spear and a sword, and more guns with instructions on how to make gun powder like they do in Blood Meridian, a great book of sad literature by Cormac McCarthy who must be depressed.
I stopped reading anything by him when The Road came out.
I have around here on a panel the universal list. A knife, some potato eyes, a permanent match, the tent…
That isn’t the list. I’ll find it since i thought it was so important i wrote it on a piece of wood with a drawing to make it arty and therefore desirable to save.
Eddy Bauer is a brand name that the artist writer Hemmingway, advanced in his book For Whom The Bell Tolls. Ernest.
James Jones was known to always have a knife on him, and have a thing about them buying and collecting really good ones. One of his characters survives a diving experience caught in a net because he can cut his way out.
I am not strong enough at all anymore to do much with my knife, which now I love for its beauty, simplicity, and as company.
Damn Dust
I forgot to explain Dust. Well okay, since I was writing to the title I have to tell you short and quick that dust in the darkrooms I could get made, put together, or borrow, ruined my career as a photographer because it, Dust was always flawing my prints. Modern photography with a digital camera and a computer making all of it like Polaroid, Mr. Land dreamed and better, is reviving my hopes and dreams, though not yet have I really found a great photo paper.
Transcendian Survival Club
I want a Bench Made sheath knife because of the hand axe survival obsidian rock, flint all around survival tool of mankind. Without the axe knife there were no tools to make tools.
You need a knife. Have knives. My brother-in-law has given me many wonderful knives and I called him up to talk to him about the knife. He said not to get him one because he had plenty of knives.
I have lost two of the knives he has given me. I went out some with a certain kind of girl who liked to cause trouble and enjoyed hurting men. She wasn’t helpful about certain kinds of things. Another writer was captured longer than I in her web.
She wrote about food, but I never got much any good to eat around her.
I ended up one snowy night trapped, I guess. It was a snowy night and I had the car I had gotten thinking one of the guys I had work on this rig I directed was right when he said a stagehand needed a reliable car.
I may not have been full out a stagehand learning my electricians lessons as a motion picture electrician and grip to where I got a union card for that.
There wasn’t all the movie making and commercials in the world in N Cee. It hadn’t stayed up and grown in North Carolina where I had retreated to.
You need a car in North Carolina. It’s true.
I was sick of fixing the Volkwagen and had worked on a movie for union wages and had pay stubs that were reasonable and bought a KiA.
I scratched the windshield getting the ice and snow off the windshield with the Spideco flat like a credit card knife he gave me I had in my pocket when I stayed over with her at the lesbian editors of a prominent magazine.
Me and her struggled around drunk and were on their couch which is where last I had that knife.
She said that if they found it they would throw it away.
I wasn’t able to find that knife. There was no long time anything all good with that good.
She was a destroyer and famous for it. My knife, and a cut videotape show I’d given her to look at.
I already wrote about it.
I lost the other knife I’d had for near a decade for sure, when some younger girls got to me with compliments and buying me drinks and I got totally drunk.
That’s another story.
But the truth is I want the sheath knife because it represents to me survival. The knife represents survival.
I am reminded of church.
Church is good for survival because you get together on a regular basis and there are clubs of a sort.
I like the Episcopal church better than others for they don’t really give you a hard time for thinking about the impossibilities.
I tried the churches nearby. We did. i’d rather get the right knife and have a little loose little club.
The fact is you will much less likely lose a knife of the sort I am after.
Of course people may get frightened if you are naturally wearing the knife around here.
if I start the club I have some help in mind.
It is important. I have it in mind about the list and the radios and that really though I have friends all over far away, I don’t have the local thing organized.
Radios.
Radios and knifes and guns and knowing how to make batteries to run the radios and where to meet up when the atomic bombs go off in the major cities.
We need to all get the right knives and know how to make a bow and arrow set so when we have enemies like the Russians who ended up all along in a valley with nothing to eat hardly we will do better.
That story was too sad.
If I have a good knife and a good gun I made from iron with gun powder I made I’ll be happy.
Secure.
I never wore a weapon when I was Security at Rochdale College. They were around though and we had a bat.
It was enough.
Nuclear weapons ruin everything.
My Fellows
You must carry on in the knowledge and conviction that what we see in our vision is worth sacrifice. There will be beauty and noise if we can get it right. It is our vision. A living organism all around the planet and built sensibly step by step up and down our spaceports on ribbons in the dead zone opposites of the desires of the first generations of captains.
They would have been and were me out there hauling on ropes to pull up and put out sails to run around the world seeing it.
Some of them thought they were doing it for God.
We are human and we have to think like that sometimes.
This is the way to protect us by being just being in the end.
I have been turned for to war and an end of Kim Jong Un. WAr. Somebody called me a war monger. I have got so War made sense because he was saying he wanted to kill me.
Hw just wants food for his people. He wants rice from Arkansas because Clinton like to keep the price of Arkansas rise up we thought forever we would get rice like Haiti!
If Transcendia was given offices at the best North Korean airport we would be all over making it safe for business and that would go on and possibly for sure war would have to be personal.
I don’t think they have enough humor.
I can give up sometimes.
Climbing Buildings
At spy school they are alway sneaking a few off to do the cat burglar thing of building climbing training. Why they call it cat burglar is beyond me except that cats wish they could climb better than they do. Cats wish they could climb like squirrels which there are even some squirrels that can fly a bit. Cats are ambitious and so are we.
I have climbed up buildings and gone in windows. I can’t really remember exactly how I did it though someone ought to have put better bars on the window however and then I was healthy and agile and you can get up to the end of the fire escape ladder if you try.
For myself the scene was changed on me and I did end up high up. Brick an sculpted lion heads had fallen away past my hands and hips and I had made it high up so high I was then like the cat stuck in a tree.
What is going on in Haiti?
Some went and landed there and gave a bit of help to the still living. It is a metaphor for the world and that ought to hurry us to making a rescue team of Outerspacers.
Make it to the moon and we could shoot water ice to the space elevator and run it down to the rescue ponds.
We will not be rescued by the space aliens.
Serious Transcendians will make money now from an economy based on insuring themselves forming the Transcendian Central Bank that will have an airline and airplanes and pilots that will take us to where what we know ought to be legal is.
We will have schools that operate like Flight Schools when they are and when they are just teaching any old discipline right on to War.
It gets down to peer to peer reviews and peer to peer learning all the time after all the talking and reading and being good.
Defense and Education cost, and we are different and new and old of course better is old and new all the time.
How is Haiti? Whats up in Ireland?
Parallell Cat World
They were sad bad dreams I had and forgot.
I got up finally.
My wife was scared of a new tool we gave her.
I understand.
I have my own things I think of and must say.
Preparing for tomorrow means I want a knife.
I have some.
I want one like the obsidian hand axe z a ze.
See.
Like how many years was that all a man had?
My brother-in-law gets it about the knives and James Jones always had a them.
A pistol and a knife.
A knife.
So what the dream was was about a TV commercial
Made by a shyster
with a poison pool of metal water and speed rail
all building this Buckminster Fuller assemblage over it
and around it
and I was broke without a dime.
I didn’t have any money at all and I was depending on this guy to finish his pitch and take me to the wedding.
It got later and later in the afternoon.
Everything was touched by poisonous water as everybody got in the pool of it.
There was an antidote but you had to buy it whereas the scene of the play where everybody was interested in it all was poisonous.
I discovered that I had been trying to make the Kindle Fire work more. Flip or Flap and something about the New York Times is in my mail. I remember now how I was trying to get more out of the Kindle Fire experience. Screen options like I am used to on my computer just don’t show.
Lots of time goes by trying to make the mechanisms give you more. It could be a car, or a ditch, or a knife and wood to make a spear.
I have a modern life now that was primitive when it started.
That isn’t true because all of the mechanisms essentially as things that could be done with a wireless like had been from the time of the US Civil war when Lincoln could stay by the telegraph office and the troops could be moved tot he battlefield by train and there were 6 shooters.
Every FAA tower controller thrown out of work by the Republican shills taking all the money are encouraged to help me get Transcedia able to pay them. They are encouraged to print out and assemble the passport.
Robespierre was like a Fundamentalist, Tea Bagger of now
I of course want to be the best leader possible and am curious about other leaders and what makes them good or bad. I do admire those who submit themselves to the elective process. It looks like hell. I’d demand money and food and good schools for my kids and an nice fast airplane and an office at the airport if I had to suffer all the insults that go along with being an elected official.
In particular all around I want anyway my office at some airport.
The local little IGX would be good enough.
They hate me over there for being a trouble maker.
I don’t mean to be a troublemaker. I must have been born with a troublemaker gene and a traveling person gene like you would expect in a sailor.
I am an old retired truck captain. I was a truck captain, yeah driving that film truck around NYC and over into all the nearby states. Not a film I worked on was worth s shit seems like for that time. I worked on better commercials.
I shot a TV pilot called Aberdeen that I influenced a great deal that was better than some of the crap films I worked on.
I had to get paid to pay for my apartments in the city. I lived right for NYC for the first three years because I wasn’t frapped there.
I had to go out of town for commercials and industrials and some lousy features we had fun making, which was good for my mental health.
But now I stay home and read and write and am fractured in my head time like everybody else because of the computers and TV screens and now the Fire I got and read a short book titled HISTORY’S WORST RULERS AND HOW THEIR PEOPLE SUFFERED FOR IT. by Frederick Parker.
Robespierre stood out because he was so like our current Republican Right Wing extremists leaders, and leadership as a whole coming from feelings that it does confirm the need to see some people killed like how France was happier and better once Robespierre was put on the guillotine.
