What I watched last night of one part of the Clinton Unit, and Trump made clear that these people do not no more than I do, or even more or are better than we would be as President.  Democracy has a point and that is what it is.

I watched whatever it was, a Profile set of Veterans questions to a potential Commander & Chief.  Hillary Clinton mentioned the Headquarters Tent & the Foreign Service Professionals.  I think of them from some of Dan Sherman portraits in White Mandarin.  His other book that impressed me from Berlin days was The Prince of Berlin.  Berlin was the hotbed of intelligence services conflicts.  “Some of us took the Cold War more seriously than others.” is the flap line.

& Wedemeyer & China and FDR & Zionism & Foreign Service Professionals.  They told FDR things but he had friends that he barbecued with like, he was going to please because of Eleanor.  By then his brain was turning into a rock and he just died.  The UN was supposed to figure it out.

My most published story was a spy story about espionage in Rochester NY because of the great wealth of technical inventions engineered for spy machines.  Then there is the theory you can’t hit what you can’t see.  Likely the spies are still all over Rochester, NY.   The Spies do not necessarily get better intelligence or advice.  I see Hillary going all wound up with no time to think too much or work at keeping secrets.

I got a headquarters tent from Sid when planning my go to the radio station street and do my Currency of Fame Noise from the Inverter to give me DC to AC power to run the sound equipment.  I need really a sound car or truck since I really can hardly carry everything around back and forth to the car, and the car now won’t lock.  There a lot of sticks in the trunk.  I need to move them?

What big deadlines do I face, or have I faced?

Well it is extra weight calling for more energy out the gas of the motor and pushing weight down the street is known as harder if you are on a bicycle.

The tools of government start as just nothing but the System.  It is a human system so that it falls apart if the humans don’t believe in it.   Making this from a flaw to a feature has escaped us many times. People believe in stupidities that they loved as children.  To counter that you teach children smart and true aspects of the belief system that contributes to the greatness of the system on down the road.

It was believed that the natural animal human would find its own perfection so it was a bad thing to give children systems, or discipline.  No one can believe so what is there to teach anyway?   Catholic school nuns do not have that attitude.  2000 years later they are convinced of the best way to get children to be “Of the Church”.

So what of Democracy, the United States that Spawned me with it’s great mythic heroes of our revolution?  I find now I still believe in what I have picked as the best of the inspirational stories I learned young in the nation.  There was the Encyclopedia to read as all for a good while in my youth.  National Geographic, & the Encyclopedia were not enough.  When I got paid I went to Greensboro and bought books a the news store book store, paperback store down the now hip go look at the artist zoo end of the street.

Pulp paperbacks are more a big deal when I think about it.  Amazing Tales, & whatever it was was Space.  All of a sudden in this world I was 11.   I’d gotten my paper route.  Work was freedom because it paid me.  As an independent business man the wage slavery was not the thing.  Maybe sweeping the floor at Matlocks gave my brother a mean streak early.

Personality is inherited but Character is developed.  I am still an unreconstructed Boy Scout.  I wonder if my friend is always a Catholic school boy, Jesuit educated before college.  He worked in a steel mill for awhile.  People like us are supposed to move on through.  The others are staying where they are.  He told me of the guy sang Opera in the steel mill, well, all day, while working.  It was Buffalo.

I was on the road like Kerouac a lot and spent a weekend in Buffalo after a long tour of up into Maine started as a shorter trip.  Stuck in Maine I was driven down to Buffalo then dropped off in Rochester.  Wonderful people all along the way.  Most of the time.  I was trying to write a book.  I wrote as I can write, which is the novella.  As Shirer said your first book is mostly typing.

For Hillary Clinton her mission is to fix other places in the world.  “We had to do something right then because he was killing his own people.”  The UN was supposed to have been made to do these jobs.  It is a reach too much for the United States to be the World Government in my judgement.  This is where she is going to get us all killed.

Democracy is great.  Maddow was most correct saying this is what we get when we do Foreign Policy in secret, or War is run by the CIA., “Same Difference.”

Wisdom was my answer.

Trump is absolutely no fun for me to watch.  It is all because he is such a fucking liar.  I remember covering, defending myself in a job conflict of complaints to my boss at the time when I had a boss before that wisped on after I stopped going to the office.  How much was it true that I had been training their crew, it was enough.  You couldn’t help those people and there were others making movies that just created blood vessel in the neck bursting moments that ruined beauty and peace.  You do have to think fast in New York.  Saying something for him is doing something that will help him and the intention is to shut other people up only.  He is browbeating you.

Raw Democracy right there in your face proving the People really need to understand why they have a vote because if these people were dictators, which they want to be, of the whole world, disaster will follow disaster till they die.

A good King like King Alfred of England who fought the lying Danes then built a shore navy and had all armed and ready to kill the Danes, was seen as wonderful and rare.

Since we cannot expect Great Men to be there to make our history all of the time, Democracy is the hedge.  Britain has never had a good King in my lifetime.  There was Reagan’s girlfriend Thatcher for the British and look what they got but more of whatever the stupidities of the US belief system of greed and pictures had, but more in lots of ways.

Either the Great Man makes History or history makes the Great Man.

Wonderful concept and show it was.  I’d like to see a set of retired Foreign Service Professionals ask some questions.

Review of my Show

Transcendia/Alexander/Heath

my grand show at Alexander-Heath.com

I get sick to my stomach naturally before a show, before a performance and this was no different.  I did not know if I could make it, or if I did if I would be in any sort of condition to perform.  Once told the show as up I started to feel better.

My plan had been to have the video screen playing my films from the playlists of the Transcendian Channel on youtube in the gallery space itself, and not off to the side where as it went the kids sat down as it was rolling and put on a shoot ’em up game to play.  They came out from that to play with my megaphone, and the sticks, but got confused when I told them to watch out for splinters.  I gave the child my sanded sticks, since I had run out of time to sand sticks, and they didn’t like the sticks as much.

They loved that megaphone.

My art is long somewhat rough around the edges.  Slick, well slick is slick and I somehow don’t get to that till a lot more money is spent on framing.  To get around that I paint or draw or mount my photographs on wood.  I get good plywood to use.  I paint the edges now to try and keep the painting on the wood, but if someone peels it off, or leaves it out in the rain, it will be destroyed, like anything else.

There are two dream inspired works in this show.  I like to try and capture a dream for a painting.  If you want real and detail from me you get a photograph.  Otherwise it is a straight ahead painting or what I call a wall sculpture.  These works may or may not have some political component.  The main thing is to certify from my art Strength, Wisdom, Beauty & Humor. That is what I try to do in my writings.

The pictures and wall sculptures are aimed at being good company for you, on your walls.  Many of them have been “livability tested” since my wife puts them on our walls.  She used to move the furniture around every day when we were first married, and it is better when she moves the paintings around, from my perspective.

I like it and you can bet for sure it is a good thing my wife likes what I do.  There is one piece in the show that I insisted on.  I know one of them she initially did not like, but grew to like.  She’ll never like the one I insisted on.  It was nice someone told me at the show it was their favorite.

Took me awhile to figure out why someone started crying from looking at my show.  I heard from a witness they were overwhelmed with empathy from work that in some ways tells my story of bad luck and pain.  It doesn’t look like that necessarily you know.  I think “Night of Pain” is a fine cartoon.  I have been through a lot of bad luck, two serious beatings, and my crimes are crimes of poverty.

I fear the police and I fear robbers.

I fear barbarians.

I make movies.  Since I am not getting paid, have no ensemble cast, I make a lot of radio.  I mean Car Episodes as a Transcendian Playlist has come into its own.  You can watch it as my music.  I made the instruments and broke a lot of them up for not working in any satisfying sort of way.  What is left, and in the show at the opening were available to play, They work.

It was extremely helpful that many of the people there had been primed to expect me to says some things directly about Transcendia the model nation.  I was not fully on my game with my composing and jamming.  Brian helped a great deal.  It is very important and a good thing that Brian liked Intendor tm #13 and I do hope he plays it around town as he said he would.  That #13 is also my Australian best friend in IGX.  I had made a place for Roxy, now Roxanne Roxanne on FB because I believe in her talent.

I want to put her on some civilized stages, or in some civilized small intimate room as I saw Ellen Kaye sing in when I was welcome at the Monkey Room.  Whatever anybody, or she might have to say, that place, the Monkey Room, in that hotel, that was the height of civilization and I want to believe her place Moscow 57 gets that back and keeps that experience going.

I was the savage beast calmed by music.

All the Hettig kids are inheritors from me of the name Transcendia.  Too bad that it is under assault.  Work defending the name is created if if is to keep all of its value.  For me it is same as the name Disney is to Disney.  I need you to buy my art and my books so I can push on with my work of creating a nation of airports that becomes a nation of spaceports.  We really do not have time to be worrying too much about the barbarians.

Barbarians steal what they want, and the Civilized work for it.

Keeping onwards has been my tactic.  Those in Singapore, Australia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Ann Arbor, using my name without honor are a late to it.  They would benefit better then from their stealing, if honor was given and I was turned into their ally and partner instead of pissing me off.

Really, dishonor and theft of what is most dear to me and mine hurts me in my heart and then I want to bad mouth those people.  They hurt me.

An attorney in Intellectual Property working on contingency might well make some real money as there is every evidence of my commitment long ago to Transcendia.

Now the plan is for me to achieve the Currency of Fame in order to really make some big budget love stories and a war movie in order to have the funds to pay of the leases where to put my airports and also put in passport support offices and run the services businesses of Transcendia.  This was my original plan from my early adult youth.  It did not work at the time, but as things have turned out over the years there is no other plan that will work.

I am an artist, and a filmmaker.

The least expensive film I can make is the Serial Playlist Feature.  There are two playlists to which I put scenes for that movie, those movies.  Suggested Viewing for Mac DeMarco, and My New Movie, Movie Quest.

On amazon there is JET Beach, which is a package.  It is a love story adventure movie.  I know it will get made and during that time I will see a foot in a woman’s shoe on a Learjet Air Stair.  Learning how to love like a gentleman or and as a lady is pretty hard to do, especially if you have not seen if done.

The artist knows they have a lot of responsibility when it comes to movies, since kids see them and people will flat out simply do whatever it is they see done.  Rod Serling was really hurt that the barometric bomb was used after he used it in his show.  I knew people that knew that guy and I was introduced once to Rod Serling.  Something eerie did surround the guy as while we were being introduced he was wondering who it was introducing us.  I was just introduced to them.  It was at Adventure in Creativity, one of those schools I had a scholarship to.

I came from a poor and broken home.  At least we were not ignorant as both our parents held Masters degrees.  I claim my parents as good teachers.  It is unfortunate for me that they so bad mouthed the academic life and its political turmoil of “departments” that I went at the working life.

I’ve had a great life of the mind being so connected to pragmatic problems where many of the horrors of life were previewed by great literature.  But you are looked down on as stupid lumpen proletariat by the people who don’t ever have to work in the cold and misery so much for so little.  Mom said,  “No Shame in Honest Work.”

I sometimes don’t know if I might not have had an easier life if I’d just been left to become whatever it would have been I would have become from the life in the South, just that education.  I was not right for it.  I am not right for the racism and meanness of the South, and wasn’t before I was given all these scholarships that raised my ambitions and sense of place and worth.

I had no family in NY.

The Hettigs then are what I have as my great place and wealth.  Ed and I are not getting any younger you know.  I am right damned glad there were sales closed and that that helps his gallery, which he found he wanted to do.

It greatly recommends Roanoke that Ed moved his family there.

So the plan from here and this great event, this great success As I Said what I could think to say about what Transcendia, and people listened.  I said what it  is designed as and what it is for, and what my art is as if I were not now retiring and doing some paint by numbers as did Bush, but that is my job.  It is just my job now full time to be an artist.

My other job, and I take it seriously, is preventing the apocalyptic riot.

The Beats knew one thing:  The Atom Bomb Changed Everything.

 

P.S. I turned to a study of the Beats after making the CD Beatniks & Spiders.  I recommend Beatdom edited by Alan Willis, & Scientologist by him about William Burroughs.  I am a supporter of the diplomat who died before we could finish our work creating UNTV that showed up on your “fireplace” the real TV, like gets watched by my class of people, working class people.  If I could have made a watchable truth filled UNTV set between CNN & Fox I think I could have prevented the first Iraq War.  Reinventing the UN may be as impossible as reforming the US.  Lots of endemic entrenched corruption.

http://www.cafepress.com/transcendia is where to go to get clothes with the Transcendian flag on them.  amazon.com/author/transcendian is where to go to buy my books.

It is a grand, powerful, and important show.  I had a good time putting it on, performing, and explaining my goals.  Help me.  Help your friends.  Make sure you have good friends, since there simply is no evidence that any other goal than helping your friends get through this life well matters.

Absolam, Absolam!  The Tragedy of your life is to waste it on bad ideals.
