Look in the mirror & admit "I'm a fascist."

So.

Some of you found 'me' here because you are a fascist, a Stasi official.

Well, what do you think?

How are my spies today?????

Look at everything we are forced to give away: http://whatismyinfo.net
Do you still love fascism? & a totalitarian state (place your IP here)?

Also:

"The West has failed to make theoretical sense of the horror chambers of the 1930s and 40s: that fascism, communism, and social democracy in effect produced a collusion to strengthen the real economy by bringing the financial sector under control.":

Back to why we are here & what is really important..

Have you read any of my novels?

Bought a painting?

Interested in a masterclass?

Are you an ally of mine?

Yes? No?

If yes, talk to you later.
If no, get a life & learn about civil rights, law, economics & forensics.

my cancer, your cancer

As one individual in an already quite large population of individuals who has experienced & thus is living with the threat of cancer, or is dying or has died from cancer, this is not good news & as far as curing cancer is concerned, an out-of-control nightmare: http://www.denverpost.com/fitness/ci_25051699/cancer-cases-expected-increase-70-over-next-20 The most important & the most unimportant thing about us. http://thefalconandthefirefly.blogspot.com/2010_04_11_archive.html

Revista Samuel, ART AS EVIDENCE &- W.S.B

Artwork & a portrait from my Wikileaks series are featured in a brilliant article by Sarah Leonard in the fine Brazilian publication Revista Samuel- (exploding with brilliant journalists & analysis).. & for thirty cents, you can read it.. Here you go.. http://revistasamuel.uol.com.br/conteudo/view/19902/Versao_da_samuel_para_android_e_ipad_ja_disponivel.shtml In related news, do- watch this lecture by the journalist & artist Jacob Appelbaum from Transmediale 2014 (don't miss Poitras, Binney, or Paglen either): http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ndx0eox0Lkg Happy Birthday William Seward Burroughs "Don't let them see us, don't tell them what we are doing! "Are these the words of the all powerful boards and syndicates of the earth?": http://rr.www.cistron.nl/his/nothing.htm The Last Words of Hassan Sabbah - www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5LHom219cU From the album "Nothing Here Now but the Recordings" (Industrial Records, 1981) “I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them. I don’t care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do. The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it. My affections, being concentrated over a few people, are not spread all over Hell in a vile attempt to placate sulky, worthless shits.” ― William S. Burroughs

If you don't ask someone a question, don't expect an answer. How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Question

Tests (rational, within reason, respectful) of trust, maturity, self control, logic & loyalty are extremely important & hard to live up to, most of us fail these tests. Yet consistent success, assures mutual respect is real, valuable, & is able to survive even after dissolution & if one is truly remarkable, until death. Freedom of association: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2014/02/pete-seeger-and-nsa Low or poor intelligence is called low or poor intelligence for a reason (NSA?). Or, low or poor intelligence is typically a bad case of missing questions, you could also say, an imposed- prevention of inquisition, the very erasure- of inquisition. It never occurs to us that the majority of information on anything is inaccurate. It never occurs to us that abuse & obsession are not appropriate replacements for the cultivation of hate. Obviously, this type of rot worsens. I am not capable of involving my time & energies with a universal morbidity of hate & nothing will change that. You can write about an ally of mine, but if you claim to have answers for questions you never asked them &/or there are several witnesses to this fact, I'll be asking my ally who they are, not you. I am also not so naive to believe that all the information in the world is true. This is why I ask- others questions- & why I don't abuse others for not- asking them- questions. - More on how questions & answers require decisions: Moment by moment decision making, if one actually- knows- they made a decision, or what a decision actually is-/etc: http://www2.psy.unsw.edu.au/Users/BNewell/N&SUIDMBBS.pdf It's time to ask ourselves if we know what we are talking about. Go ahead, you can do it "I'm not sure I know what I am talking about. I have to think. I have to think about how I'm thinking." Just say this once & see how it feels.

The reasons why my interview with Pedro Velez from 2007 is misleading

I've been told by friends that this would be important to blog, so I am blogging it..

To most people who view an old interview/studio visit I did with Pedro Velez in 2007, it's a horrible interview.. But there are still people who are not skeptical of how I & my work are presented in it.

At the time- I was being bullied, threatened & harassed by a Chicago 'painter' (& some might say I still am) & Velez was seeking to align himself with him.. Also Velez is a former 'artist' cum 'critic'-.

There has been a decent amount of my work that I am willing- to share on the net since 2007 (CLICK) & this finished work & more was available in my studio at the time of Velez's visit.. But instead of noting the literature that I read- & instead of taking a half way decent photograph of plenty of finished work, he took a bad & poorly edited photo of the top- of a minor & unfinished small painting & described it in a way that is self explanatory as to his internalized notions of me & my work..

The interview speaks for itself (again for most skeptical people) but in case there is need for clarification- the flattery of being compared to Leon Golub & some noteworthy attention to my Hamas series aside- Velez was basically trying to intentionally or unintentionally make me look bad.

ALIVE AND KICKING
by Pedro Vélez
part 1: The Studios

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised

You will not be able to stay home, brother.
You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out.
You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip,
Skip out for beer during commercials,
Because the revolution will not be televised.

The revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will not be brought to you by Xerox
In 4 parts without commercial interruptions.
The revolution will not show you pictures of Nixon
blowing a bugle and leading a charge by John
Mitchell, General Abrams and Spiro Agnew to eat
hog maws confiscated from a Harlem sanctuary.
The revolution will not be televised.

The revolution will not be brought to you by the
Schaefer Award Theatre and will not star Natalie
Woods and Steve McQueen or Bullwinkle and Julia.
The revolution will not give your mouth sex appeal.
The revolution will not get rid of the nubs.
The revolution will not make you look five pounds
thinner, because the revolution will not be televised, Brother.

There will be no pictures of you and Willie May
pushing that shopping cart down the block on the dead run,
or trying to slide that color television into a stolen ambulance.
NBC will not be able predict the winner at 8:32
or report from 29 districts.
The revolution will not be televised.

There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down
brothers in the instant replay.
There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down
brothers in the instant replay.
There will be no pictures of Whitney Young being
run out of Harlem on a rail with a brand new process.
There will be no slow motion or still life of Roy
Wilkens strolling through Watts in a Red, Black and
Green liberation jumpsuit that he had been saving
For just the proper occasion.

Green Acres, The Beverly Hillbillies, and Hooterville
Junction will no longer be so damned relevant, and
women will not care if Dick finally gets down with
Jane on Search for Tomorrow because Black people
will be in the street looking for a brighter day.
The revolution will not be televised.

There will be no highlights on the eleven o'clock
news and no pictures of hairy armed women
liberationists and Jackie Onassis blowing her nose.
The theme song will not be written by Jim Webb,
Francis Scott Key, nor sung by Glen Campbell, Tom
Jones, Johnny Cash, Englebert Humperdink, or the Rare Earth.
The revolution will not be televised.

The revolution will not be right back after a message
about a white tornado, white lightning, or white people.
You will not have to worry about a dove in your
bedroom, a tiger in your tank, or the giant in your toilet bowl.
The revolution will not go better with Coke.
The revolution will not fight the germs that may cause bad breath.
The revolution will put you in the driver's seat.

The revolution will not be televised, will not be televised,
will not be televised, will not be televised.
The revolution will be no re-run brothers;
The revolution will be live.

A Science of Living

If you were dreaming all the time & never woke up eventually you'd forget that you were dreaming... & the concept of dreaming would decay & turn into something else entirely. &, if we could live in our dreams we'd be far more capable of accomplishing a whole myriad of tasks that we find impossible to even fathom in our 3D plane of existence.

Now, let's say one day you stream some of your/this 'dreaming' inside of human bodies, a blade of grass, a sun, plasma, matter in the galaxy, etc - etc - ad infinitum - & introduce it to a myriad of stimulus.. This would be good, because you could accomplish tasks & have experiences on a 3D plane that you can't really have when you are limitless & multidimensional.. Then, you can not only be limitless, but you can also embody & experience what happens when helpful limitations are imposed on your limitlessness. & most importantly placing your 'dreaming' into evolving matter on a 3D plane prevents any unnecessary excess entropy that might occur when your 'hyper-dreaming' is a process of expansion in time & space. http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_liqksdLNGF1qc0s10o1_500.gif

Je suis mourir
mort une fois de plus

mais mon cadeau spécial est que je sais
comment d'être né, différemment,

de plus, je suis forcé d'être oubliés

jamais oublier que nous choisissons d'être oubliés

nous sommes tous- sont l'effacement

l'effacement

leur faire oublier dans l'oubli trouvent ensuite et trouvent
qu'ils se punir de se rappeler ce qui a été oublié
laissez-les créer la haine et de mauvaise humeur de ce

Je suis différent
Je suis-un révolutionnaire le sang
vous, mon secret, vous êtes révolutionnaire

donc je vous promets, je n'oublierai jamais
jamais

grâce à vous-

Je suis né de nouveau

Je avoir vous- comme un soleil brûlant
une source dans mon être
un brillant petit kernal de la vie qui digère la grandeur de l'univers avec le cerveau
le plus beau l'esprit est une tête pensante
infiniment
feu et la de tir
toujours pour la fois
dans ma psyché, mes rêves, mes pensées de vie
que la verte et des animaux, de brûlures vie

de tir l'etoile de brûlures vie

d'exister est de savoir ce que cela signifie pour entrer et se baigner dans la lumière de la vie et la transformation

THE 'CHICAGO ART SCENE'

A long over due letter to the (Chicago's) 'artistic ethersphere',

-

"Postmodern irony, hip cynicism, a hatred that winks & nudges you & pretends it's just kidding." - David Foster Wallace


THOUGH I AM ALLIED WITH SOME TRULY BRILLIANT LOCAL- ARTISTS & WRITERS, I HAVE NOTHING TO DO- WITH 'THE CHICAGO ART SCENE' IT'S FAR TOO GOSSIPY-, SHOCKINGLY ABUSIVE (CRIMINAL..), HYPOCRITICAL-, SADISTIC, ELITIST, INSENSITIVE, SELF ABSORBED, IGNORANT, IRRITATING- "we can have critical discourse on Lady Gaga as performance art." COMPETITIVE, BACKSTABBING, IMMATURE, DISRESPECTFUL-, NAUSEATINGLY FULL OF USELESS FACTS (& non facts) & RHETORIC-

&, FAR TOO NIGHTMARISHLY TRENDY FOR ME TO STOMACH.

WITH THIS IN MIND- ANYONE FROM THE 'CHICAGO ART SCENE' WHO CLAIMS SOME KIND OF 'AWARENESS' OR 'SOME SORT OF ASSOCIATION WITH ME'- HAS LIKELY NEVER SPENT MORE THAN AN HOUR IN MY PRESENCE & THEREFORE IS PART OF THE 'ONE DIMENSIONAL- SCENE' (MARCUSE) OF VICIOUSLY SUCCESS OBSESSED SCENESTERS OR BULLYING MANIPULATORS & LIARS AS OUTLINED ABOVE-.

MOST IMPORTANTLY- THIS 'CHICAGO ART SCENE' IS SORROWFULLY ARTLESS, BUT THAT IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU'VE GOT HALF CONSCIOUS & VIOLENT ATTILLA'S CALLING THEMSELVES 'ARTISTS' AS THE 'STASI OFFICERS' OF THE 'CHICAGO ART ($$$) SCENE'.

ANY- IN DEPTH, RATIONAL & FACTUAL INFORMATION ABOUT MY INTERACTIONS WITH OTHERS & OTHER ARTISTS/FRIENDS WHO I RESPECT & ADMIRE (PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY KNOW WHO- I AM, PRESENT & FUTURE CONTEXT_
) CAN BE FOUND AT http://artvolume1.wordpress.com/.

I POST THIS BLOG/INFORMATION BECAUSE IT'S THE TRUTH, & BECAUSE ENOUGH OF A DECADE HAS PASSED FOR THE MAJORITY OF 'CHICAGO ART SCENE PEOPLE' TO KN0W THAT WHAT I SAY IS UNFORTUNATELY, A WELL KNOWN FACT- & BECAUSE IT NEEDS TO BE SAID, EVEN IN A RESPECTFULLY VAGUE SENSE.

IS ED PASCHKE TURNING IN HIS GRAVE?

IT'S LIKELY.
